Million Dollar Lethal Listing

Hurry up.

Don't rush me.

The more photos, the better. Take more.

It's a nice place.

I think this is gonna be perfect,

just perfect.

Hey.

How's work?

Work was work.

Any news?

News?

On the partner front?

Once there's news, Becca, I promise,

you'll be the first to know.

Work?

I'm trying, but every time I get a notification

or some realtor is trying to call me

- about their property. - And you told me

house hunting can be a full time job.

Yeah, I guess I just didn't believe it myself.

You eat?

Yeah. I made some pasta.

- Do you want me to heat on... - No, no, no. I got it.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Just got out of a meeting.

- It's okay. - What are you up to?

Just using your office again.

Oh, my God, Becs,

- you look terrible. - Thanks.

Just the encouragement I needed.

Is it Tom?

It's just until he makes partner,

and then things will be better.

Okay. Look,

you know how I feel about Tom.

I've always liked him.

Even though the age difference

threw me off a little bit,

but a new job

does not automatically mean

things change for the better.

Well, I'm marrying him,

so in the good times and the bad, right?

Well, that's quite a ringing endorsement for the institution.

Look, why don't you come work for us full time?

Enough of all this freelance nonsense

and everyone here loves your work.

Thanks, but Tom and I have a deal.

While we're engaged,

I am gonna be spending most of my time

looking for our dream house.

Yeah, but you're not happy.

I'm happy... most of the time.

- What? - A prospect.

A house?

Do you mind if I go check it out?

Of course. I mean, you've already

spent too much time here.

But don't you have to wait for Tom?

Oh, he hasn't shown much interest

in the whole process, but if it's a possibility,

- then I'll show him. - Okay.

You go and find Casa de Hudson.

Becca?

I'm Samantha Ryan.

Oh, wow. I must have misread this listing.

- This place is... - No mistake.

The seller wants to wrap up a deal quickly.

Well, why don't I show you around

and I can tell you more about it.

Almost the entire house has been renovated.

There's parquet flooring, crown molding.

Oh, and I even have the dates that the HVAC,

and all the major appliances were installed.

I can't believe this.

Wait until you see the master bedroom.

So, in here, you'll see there's tile countertops,

uh, the cabinets are brand new

and there's even an internet-connected fridge

- and icebox. - Where's the ghost?

Excuse me?

Something terrible must have happened

for the owner to be serious about the price.

So, here's the deal.

The financing is a little

unconventional.

And there's the catch.

No, it's not bad, I promise.

I suppose you're not prepared to make an all-cash offer?

Don't worry about it.

Hardly anyone nowadays

has that kind of capital lying around.

The owner understands that.

The thing is, is that he needs cash,

and he needs it quickly.

He's one of these, you know, entrepreneurs.

So, what can we do?

Well, you can sign the papers,

and then you can make the down payment,

and then you sell your house,

and take out a mortgage on this one,

you can pay the owner the difference.

That way, he gets his cash right away

and you get your house.

Isn't that a bit risky?

Oh, for him, sure, but not for you.

I mean, if you can't pay him the difference,

that's his issue, it's not yours.

How long do I have to think about it?

Well, you're the first person I've shown this to today

and I have about half dozen more coming.

So, you have to ask yourself,

how long is a house like this gonna last in today's market?

Did you think about

what we discussed last time?

I thought about it.

But you didn't mention it to Tom?

Becca, I have a fiduciary responsibility to you...

No, you don't.

As your father's lawyer,

I have a fiduciary responsibility to his estate

and your inheritance is part of that.

But as far as I know, there was no stipulation

about a prenup.

No, that's true.

Good, then I don't wanna keep talking about it.

I was not only your father's lawyer, Becca,

I was his friend and your mother's.

Now, I only want what's best for you.

What's best for me is not a prenup.

May I ask why you're so against it?

Because it anticipates that the marriage is gonna fail.

No, that's simply not true.

It protects you in the event that it fails.

Like, life insurance, health insurance,

- or auto insurance. - That is not the same thing.

It's exactly the same thing, Becca.

Your other examples are for unavoidable situations.

Divorce, it's entirely voluntary.

Becca, 50% of marriages

end in divorce, 50%, that's not me being pessimistic.

And it's not a comment on you and Tom's relationship.

Those are the facts.

Now, for you not to take a precaution against something

with a 50% failure rate, it's just not prudent.

Meghan, I appreciate your concern.

I always do,

but that is not why I'm here to talk to you.

Okay. Okay. I've said my piece.

Okay. Now, what is it?

I wanna know if there would be any issues

should Tom and I purchase a house before we're married.

No, from a legal perspective,

- it makes it more complicated. - Why?

Because the laws for married couples

are always more straightforward. Streamlined.

- Whose house would it be? - Both of ours.

A shared asset.

Yes, shared.

How do you plan to purchase the home?

What do you mean?

Do you plan to buy it outright?

No, we don't have that kind of money.

What about the down payment?

Becca...

I had a long day, Becca.

Do we really have to talk about this now?

This house is gonna be gone before you know it.

Well, if something looks too good to be true,

- probably is. - Well, I told you,

the financing was a little unorthodox,

but that's my problem.

Why is it your problem?

Because it's your money, right?

That's what you meant?

I didn't really mean it like that,

but in a few months, it will be our money.

But the truth is,

most of it is from my inheritance.

You love to remind me of that, don't you?

Tom this house is perfect.

I really want it.

I don't know, Becc.

Five hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money.

That's all of your savings.

Okay. As long as you know what you're doing.

Here's the master bedroom

and there's three more bedrooms

- right there down the hall. - Great.

So, I can have my own office?

You can have multiple offices.

So, what do you think?

I think...

I think this can't be real.

Well, you're a lawyer, Mr. Hudson.

Just wait until you review the documents.

Hello, hello!

There he is now. Come on.

So, these are the new suckers?

Stop it, Riley. You're going to scare them off.

At the price they're getting, I don't think so.
