00:00:00I couldn't actually go to my ex-fiancé's place.
00:00:03I'm pregnant with Brian's baby.
00:00:06You are no daughter of mine.
00:00:09Get out.
00:00:10Oh, sorry.
00:00:12Astrid, can you go to prom with me?
00:00:14Of course I will.
00:00:16Astrid, I'm breaking up with you.
00:00:18Just ask when you can commit to me.
00:00:20You're not right for her.
00:00:21You are just the spitting image of this evil ex of mine.
00:00:25She needs a place to stay, right?
00:00:26Moving in with a stranger who looks exactly like your ex is totally normal.
00:00:30I might have told my step-mom and step-sister that I was going to a wedding with Ryder Randolphson.
00:00:36Yeah, we had a really loving relationship.
00:00:39Should have known one day he would just leave.
00:00:41Sometimes we don't really have a choice.
00:00:44Ryder has a brain tumor.
00:00:46What?
00:00:47Every second with you is giving me one more chance to hold on a little longer.
00:00:53Just put it back.
00:00:57Okay.
00:01:10These are all so good, I don't know how we're going to decide.
00:01:14Right?
00:01:15Are you okay?
00:01:17You haven't tried any of them?
00:01:20This one's my favorite.
00:01:22I'll go with the vanilla.
00:01:24Gina, it's my wedding, so I will be making the decisions.
00:01:28I'm pretty sure where you insisted on coming today.
00:01:31When were you planning on telling her?
00:01:34Astrid, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about.
00:01:38Ugh.
00:01:39Out with it, Brian.
00:01:42Astrid?
00:01:45Astrid?
00:01:50I'm pregnant with Brian's baby.
00:01:55That is not funny.
00:01:57I hate to be the one to break it to you, but Brian and I will be getting married in a couple of weeks.
00:02:03Instead of you.
00:02:05So I'm assuming that you won't be needing a plus one.
00:02:10Astrid, I'm sorry.
00:02:14You're sorry?
00:02:17You're sorry?!
00:02:19Five years, Brian!
00:02:22Five years!
00:02:24Down the drain!
00:02:25I've been paying your rent to help you with your business,
00:02:28and I've been helping you with your mom when she's sick!
00:02:31Are you fucking kidding?!
00:02:32Oh my god, stop being so dramatic!
00:02:36Look, I already packed your shit from his apartment.
00:02:40It's at the dump, where you belong.
00:02:43Oh my god.
00:03:04Have fun eating cake, you two pieces of shit!
00:03:07Bitch!
00:03:14Adam.
00:03:16When am I meeting your mother-in-law for the evening, asshole?
00:03:21Right now. Good night, Adam.
00:03:23Wait!
00:03:25Yeah, and he's gone.
00:03:27Good night.
00:03:31Did you know that if you only flash three out of four tires on a car, the insurance won't cover it?
00:03:35Oh, and I love cheese!
00:03:37I know this one place that has barrels full of different cheeses from all over the world.
00:03:41You would love it!
00:03:43We should go sometime.
00:03:44I'm lactose intolerant.
00:03:46What's lactose intolerant?
00:03:50Excuse me, I have to use the bathroom.
00:03:57Sir, Madam asked that I keep an eye on you, in case you try to run away again.
00:04:02I appreciate that, Mason.
00:04:04But I'm just going to use the bathroom.
00:04:06Is that an issue?
00:04:07I'm not twelve.
00:04:11Give me your vest. Give me your pants.
00:04:13Ah!
00:04:42Okay.
00:04:49Get a suit.
00:04:51Oh my god!
00:04:53It has to be worth like ten thousand!
00:04:58She'll let more men strip you naked.
00:05:02Oh! Oh my god! Sorry!
00:05:07Astrid?
00:05:09It really is her.
00:05:17Hi.
00:05:18Hi.
00:05:20Can I walk you home?
00:05:23And she was horrified to see me.
00:05:26I guess that makes sense, considering she's my ex.
00:05:29And I was the one who broke her heart.
00:05:31Ryder?
00:05:33Ryder Van Watson!
00:05:35What the hell are you doing here?
00:05:40You're not Ryder.
00:05:42What?
00:05:43Sorry. Oh my god.
00:05:44She doesn't recognize that it's me.
00:05:46You are just a fitting image of this evil ex of mine from high school.
00:05:52But more buff, for sure.
00:05:55Oh my god.
00:05:56I've had enough drama for one day to have to deal with that old blame.
00:05:59You broke up with me randomly, crushed me into a million pieces.
00:06:02If only you knew the truth of how I broke up with you.
00:06:04I'm sorry. I'm flabbergasted.
00:06:06If only you knew the truth of how I broke up with you.
00:06:08I'm sorry. I'm flabbergasted.
00:06:10I guess it wouldn't hurt to be a good old friend to Clyde for a little bit.
00:06:13She looks like she really is your friend.
00:06:15I'm sorry you had a horrible day on behalf of my apparently skinnier and less handsome doppelganger.
00:06:21How about a drink?
00:06:23You're a godsend, Clyde.
00:06:25A drink is exactly what I came here for.
00:06:28A Long Island, please.
00:06:30A Long Island coming right up.
00:06:32You know, speaking of dumb reasons to get dumbed,
00:06:36I actually just got dumbed like 15 minutes ago.
00:06:39Two weeks before our wedding.
00:06:41Oh, goodness.
00:06:43You're pregnant.
00:06:45He dumped you because of a baby?
00:06:46No. He knocked out my stepsister.
00:06:49Oh my god.
00:06:51We've been together for five years, and how much of that time was he pinning down my stepsister?
00:06:56I mean, am I so just worthless of a girlfriend?
00:06:59Thank you.
00:07:01That's the man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with.
00:07:06I've just been with my stepsister.
00:07:09That's a very weird tasting Long Island.
00:07:11That is the special.
00:07:15You know, maybe you're supposed to be with someone who actually wants to cherish you.
00:07:19Someone, from the moment that they laid eyes on you,
00:07:23knew that you'd be the one for them.
00:07:28That is a horrible drink.
00:07:31No offense.
00:07:33Oh, blood is hitting, so.
00:07:35Thank you.
00:07:38Um, hi, my baby.
00:07:43Oh, I just heard.
00:07:46Ryder, what are you doing here?
00:07:52I know.
00:07:56Very similar looking to Ryder.
00:07:59Clyde.
00:08:00Clyde.
00:08:01Adam.
00:08:02Adam.
00:08:03Clyde.
00:08:04Ryder.
00:08:05Ryder is this asshole CEO.
00:08:08He's got buckets and buns of money.
00:08:12He wouldn't need to be bartending to some drunk folk like us.
00:08:18Can I actually get another one of those?
00:08:20Um, yeah, my mistake.
00:08:24Right, um, but how are you doing?
00:08:28Women are stupid.
00:08:30You know, just one too many you've had to deal with this evening.
00:08:39Since you asked, personally, I am peachy.
00:08:44I can see that.
00:08:46Hey, why don't we, um, get you home now, okay?
00:08:49And maybe let's stop sitting next to the man that looks like your ex before someone sees you.
00:08:57We should take a selfie.
00:08:58Can we?
00:08:59Can we?
00:09:00Clyde, come on, pretend to be Ryder, will you?
00:09:01Let's take a selfie.
00:09:02Come here.
00:09:03Okay.
00:09:06All right, time to go.
00:09:08Okay.
00:09:09Goodnight, Mr. Dean.
00:09:10My bag.
00:09:11Yeah, get your bag.
00:09:15I owe you one.
00:09:16Up to no good, you are.
00:09:19All right, come on, here we go.
00:09:26Will you just cross?
00:09:28Cross, but careful of the, okay.
00:09:30All right, all right, all right.
00:09:33It's good to see you one more time, Astrid.
00:09:36If I can do that.
00:09:37Are you good?
00:09:38Are you good?
00:09:42I don't want you to have to stay with him any longer than is necessary.
00:09:44I know that you are so right.
00:09:53Of course, you'd be here.
00:10:01Are you serious?
00:10:03I mean, go be a homeless bum somewhere else.
00:10:06Get out.
00:10:08You are no daughter of mine.
00:10:11You were an asshole to me, and you were an asshole to Brian.
00:10:14That's why he did not want anything to do with you.
00:10:18Luckily, Gina was able to keep his wealth in the family.
00:10:22No thanks to you.
00:10:24Really?
00:10:25Really.
00:10:27And my dad, who's been in the hospital, in and out for the last five years.
00:10:33Have either of you ever dared to lift a finger to try to help?
00:10:38No, I didn't think so.
00:10:41I'm going to bed.
00:10:42Oh, you are not sleeping here.
00:10:46Okay, I'm not sleeping here.
00:10:50It's not like I enjoy being in your presence.
00:10:54Probably get contaminated with whatever sticks up both of your butts.
00:10:58Like mother, like daughter, right?
00:11:03You come into my house, you are under my roof.
00:11:06You will show me respect.
00:11:09Respect is earned.
00:11:13You've done nothing to earn my respect.
00:11:17Get out.
00:11:19I don't ever want to see you again.
00:11:25Oh, but you will see me again at Gina's grand wedding.
00:11:30With my new man, who's actually richer than Brian.
00:11:35Oh, yeah, right.
00:11:37Like who?
00:11:41Ryder Van Woodson.
00:11:43Ryder Van Woodson.
00:11:49Okay, Ryder dumped you in high school.
00:11:52Why would he be interested in someone like you?
00:11:54You don't deserve someone like him.
00:11:57I guess you're just going to have to wait and see on your big day, Gina.
00:12:01Me and my hot new date.
00:12:03I'm going to go pack my shit and leave.
00:12:09How is that possible?
00:12:11Mom, Ryder Van Woodson, the heir of the Van Woodson group?
00:12:15Oh, I don't believe that little bitch.
00:12:26I have nowhere to go.
00:12:29Except maybe my dad's at the hospital, but that's a far walk.
00:12:34I have to convince Art Under Clyde to go with me as a bride to the wedding.
00:12:42Astrid, you are just full of great drunk ideas.
00:12:59Why are you here?
00:13:01Oh, good, you're home.
00:13:03I wanted to ask you, how was your date with little Miss Dolly?
00:13:06Spectacular.
00:13:07Really?
00:13:08No, Mom, I was being sarcastic.
00:13:10Then why didn't you just say so?
00:13:12Would you please, can you please just stop setting me up on these blind dates?
00:13:17Ryder, you know why I'm doing this. You need an heir.
00:13:21My head is throbbing, Mom.
00:13:23Did you take your medication today?
00:13:25No.
00:13:27Figures.
00:13:29So you're going to stop?
00:13:31No. We need someone capable to run the business.
00:13:36Okay, just in case...
00:13:40In case I die?
00:13:48In case I die?
00:13:51I was going to say, in case you are no longer able to deal with it all alone.
00:14:00We did a number of tests on your stomach, as Ben would say.
00:14:04And I'm sorry to inform you that Ryder has a brain tumor.
00:14:14Now, we can discuss some treatment options.
00:14:17At the moment, the cancer has taken over a portion of his brain that we don't feel is safe to operate.
00:14:42Ryder! Ryder!
00:14:44Ryder!
00:14:45Yeah? Well, don't you worry about me. I can handle it.
00:14:52Yeah, well...
00:14:56Ryder, are you alright?
00:15:00Ryder, are you alright?
00:15:04Honey? Honey, are you alright?
00:15:09You're having an episode, honey. We have to go to the hospital.
00:15:14Okay.
00:15:25Here.
00:15:28You doing okay? You wandered in here very drunk last night.
00:15:35Brian cheated on me with Gina.
00:15:38I'm so sorry, honey.
00:15:41Oh, morning, half-lung.
00:15:45I'm sorry, what did you just call my dad?
00:15:48So, there have been some changes with the insurance coverages on your dad's provided care.
00:15:53New doctor insight was needed.
00:15:56I'm sorry, you're telling me that you changed the doctor to someone that wasn't under our coverage so you could gouge more money from us?
00:16:02I am literally already homeless. What, are you taking another 10,000?
00:16:0650,000, most likely.
00:16:07And what I'm telling you is that if you're unhappy with the provided care here, you can find another hospital to bitch at.
00:16:30Adam, I need you to...
00:16:33Yes, good morning, Adam.
00:16:35Okay, enough. I'll see you when I get in the office. Right now, I need you to...
00:16:42I slept at the hospital with my dad, which is fine, but it's obviously not sustainable.
00:16:50Yeah, I'd also really like to have a place in case he gets discharged, and to live.
00:16:57But, you know, I'd say you could stay at mine, but the in-laws have taken refuge here.
00:17:03The in-laws have taken refuge here as well. You know, I might... I might call you back.
00:17:10Okay.
00:17:16Hey, how do you know Astrid?
00:17:19She's been my best friend since college. Why are you trying to get buddy-buddy with Astrid under an alias?
00:17:28She needs a place to stay, right? She spent the night at the hospital with her dad.
00:17:31You didn't answer my question. Who is Astrid to you, Mr. Van Woodson?
00:17:38No, no, no, no, don't give me that. You were giving me those googly eyes, begging me not to reveal who you are.
00:17:45So, Mr. Van Woodson, what are you doing with Astrid?
00:17:49I know you two dated. That's why I haven't told her I work for you.
00:17:54I just want to help her.
00:17:57That's all. She needed a friend.
00:17:59She has a friend. You, sir, not a friend.
00:18:04You are an ex of hers who ripped out her heart and ate it for breakfast.
00:18:09I had no choice.
00:18:11We all make choices. You had yours.
00:18:14Choice is an illusion.
00:18:16Now, back to what I was saying. She needs a place to stay, right?
00:18:30Moving in with a stranger who looks exactly like your ex is totally normal.
00:18:35Come on, Astrid, you can do this.
00:18:50Hey, Astrid.
00:18:52He even sounds like him.
00:18:54Astrid?
00:18:56Yeah?
00:18:57Are you going to prom with me?
00:19:00Of course I will.
00:19:03Thank you.
00:19:20Ryder.
00:19:22Sorry, Clyde. I called you Ryder again.
00:19:24It's okay. Come on in.
00:19:38I said you needed a roommate. I just happened to need one as well.
00:19:42Yeah, weird. Coincidence.
00:19:48About the other night, I was very drunk.
00:19:51And I'm a bartender. Don't worry about it.
00:19:54I actually prepped us some dinner.
00:19:57I hope you like salmon.
00:20:15Oh, sorry.
00:20:17What's wrong?
00:20:18I'm sorry.
00:20:19What's wrong?
00:20:20Can you actually...
00:20:21What's wrong?
00:20:25Cable...
00:20:26Oh, I'm sorry.
00:20:29Are you okay?
00:20:31Sorry.
00:20:32No, don't be sorry. Are you okay?
00:20:36I'm sorry.
00:20:37I'm sorry.
00:20:48Do you...
00:20:49Do you want to talk about it?
00:20:52No.
00:20:53I'd rather not.
00:20:55I understand.
00:21:05Um...
00:21:06I do have to ask you something.
00:21:09Yeah, sure. Ask away.
00:21:12I might have told my stepmom and stepsister that I was going to the wedding with Ryder Ann Woodson.
00:21:18I showed them that selfie that I took with you.
00:21:21You don't have to.
00:21:23But if you'd be willing to go and pretend to be Ryder Ann Woodson...
00:21:34Sure.
00:21:35Really? You would do that?
00:21:37I mean, I don't see why not.
00:21:39Free food and drinks, right?
00:21:41Yeah, I mean, I've been planning for it to be an open bar.
00:21:43Good.
00:21:45Then you're going to have to brief me on you and Ryder's relationship.
00:21:49Oh.
00:21:50Uh...
00:21:51Sure.
00:21:53I mean, he was a skinny kid.
00:21:55Not at all your physique.
00:21:58Um...
00:21:59Anyway.
00:22:00Yeah, we had a...
00:22:02A really loving relationship.
00:22:03We were completely inseparable.
00:22:06We were talking about moving in together, starting our futures.
00:22:09Very serious stuff for we 17-year-olds.
00:22:12But...
00:22:13I should have known one day he would just leave.
00:22:16Be a dick.
00:22:18Check and check.
00:22:22If only she knew that I would just be showing up as myself.
00:22:33What are you here for this time?
00:22:35Yes, well...
00:22:37I came to see how he was doing.
00:22:39Still sick and dying.
00:22:40Oh, good.
00:22:41I would hate for my husband to recover.
00:22:45Anyways.
00:22:47I need a favor from you.
00:22:49I need a certain...
00:22:51Medication.
00:22:53An aphrodisiac.
00:22:55Tasteless.
00:23:03I'll pay you extra for it.
00:23:05Wait.
00:23:08Here.
00:23:10I got just what you need.
00:23:15You stupid old man.
00:23:19Your daughter wasn't worth saving.
00:23:22You should have just let her burn.
00:23:25We could have collected the insurance money and run off together.
00:23:29But you had to be the stubborn hero, didn't you?
00:23:33You lost all your money to medical bills.
00:23:45Thank you.
00:23:50Yeah, what's up?
00:23:52The doctor you wanted me to look into?
00:23:55Yeah.
00:23:56Turns out, Dr. Daniel Evans has no background as a medical care professional.
00:24:01In fact, he has a criminal background selling drugs.
00:24:17Come on.
00:24:18Where are you going?
00:24:20I'm kicking a drug dealer's ass, are you joining me or not?
00:24:27Yeah.
00:24:32Okay.
00:24:40Dr. Daniel Evans?
00:24:43Yeah, right out there.
00:24:44Yeah.
00:24:47I haven't seen you in a while.
00:24:51Hello, Johnny.
00:24:53Do you need something?
00:24:54Let's go.
00:25:00You're the bastard that's been smoking outside the room with a man suffering from lung failure.
00:25:08Yo, what the fuck?
00:25:10Who the fuck do you think you are?
00:25:13Termination papers.
00:25:14You'll be serving jail time for perpetuating patient symptoms under reckless behavior while within the hospital walls.
00:25:19You're also going to be charged with selling the hospital's narcotics.
00:25:22The police are outside waiting to escort you.
00:25:25I'm Ryder Van Woodson.
00:25:31Good luck selling drugs in jail, bitch.
00:25:37Thank you so much.
00:25:39Okay, you too.
00:25:42Colin!
00:25:44What's up?
00:25:45The hospital that my dad has admitted to just called and said that all of my bills have been paid off by a mystery donor
00:25:51and he's being transferred to a better care unit free of charge and cost.
00:25:55That is awesome news.
00:25:57I feel like I can breathe now.
00:26:00This is like the most relief I've felt in a decade.
00:26:04And now, now I can start planning to buy him a house.
00:26:08You want to buy him a house?
00:26:09Yeah, well, I mean, that's the plan. We'll see.
00:26:11I don't earn enough right now to do that.
00:26:13Ow!
00:26:16Oh my goodness. Okay.
00:26:21You all right?
00:26:23You know, you'd make a pretty good doctor.
00:26:25Yeah, right.
00:26:26Wouldn't have to if someone knew what hot was.
00:26:29I think I have a great understanding of what hot is.
00:26:32Oh, is that so?
00:26:37Are you, um, ready for the wedding later?
00:26:41Oh.
00:26:43Your wedding.
00:26:46What wedding?
00:26:48Uh, wedding.
00:26:51Yeah, what, what wedding?
00:26:54Oh, the one that I invited you to to pretend to be Ryder and Winston?
00:26:59Yeah. Yeah, that wedding.
00:27:01Yeah, of course. Uh, when are we leaving?
00:27:04Seven-ish.
00:27:05Are you okay? If you don't want to go, we don't have to.
00:27:08No, I said we're going to go, so we're going to go.
00:27:11I'm just, uh, I'm only down for a second first.
00:27:15Okay.
00:27:21Hmm.
00:27:26Maybe this was a mistake.
00:27:29She's going to find out who I am if my memory issues continue.
00:27:35And it's not like I can remember what I can't remember.
00:27:40I don't remember the wedding at all.
00:27:43Yeah, it doesn't matter.
00:27:45But what if I lose my memories of her?
00:27:52I'm ready when you are.
00:27:54One sec.
00:27:56We're going to miss the reception if you don't hurry.
00:27:59I don't really care about the reception. I just care about the blast at the doctor party.
00:28:14Wow.
00:28:15What? Is this too much?
00:28:17My friend let me borrow the dress. Well, actually, she made it for me.
00:28:20She said it was an early birthday gift, but my birthday's not for, like, six months.
00:28:25You look stunning.
00:28:27Brian's going to rethink all of his life decisions.
00:28:29That leaving you is the worst thing he could have ever done.
00:28:32Yeah, well, he cheated on me, so it's his loss, not mine.
00:28:35Indeed.
00:28:37So you're feeling better?
00:28:38Much.
00:28:39Permission to be your boyfriend this evening?
00:28:41Permission granted.
00:28:43Well, then, let's get this show on the road.
00:28:51I am not surprised Astra didn't show.
00:28:54I mean, she's always been the selfish bitch of the family.
00:29:10Who is that?
00:29:13Dad?
00:29:15Dad?
00:29:19It's Ryder Van Woodson!
00:29:24Brian!
00:29:26Ugh, helpless!
00:29:29I'm telling Mom!
00:29:33Brian is looking green with envy.
00:29:35Really?
00:29:36Yeah, I know that look.
00:29:37He's gonna come over soon.
00:29:40Excuse me.
00:29:41May I steal Astra for a dance?
00:29:44She was my girl first.
00:29:46Okay.
00:29:47Just be a second.
00:29:56You look beautiful.
00:29:58Who's the new guy you're with?
00:30:00Are you trying to make me jealous?
00:30:01Because it's working.
00:30:06Are you serious?
00:30:07Are you serious?
00:30:09Brian, you fucked my stepsister.
00:30:10You don't get to say that to me.
00:30:12I don't know what happened.
00:30:13I was drunk.
00:30:14Of course you were.
00:30:15I never meant for it to happen.
00:30:16I barely remember doing it.
00:30:18Okay.
00:30:19You can spare me the details.
00:30:20Thanks.
00:30:21I'm sorry.
00:30:23I don't know that I can forgive myself, but...
00:30:26Brian!
00:30:27Look around!
00:30:29Where do you think that we are?
00:30:33You're right.
00:30:34No, no, you're right.
00:30:38This is the last time you will ever have access to me.
00:30:42Do you understand that?
00:30:45What the fuck do you think you're doing with my husband, you whore?
00:30:49Gina!
00:30:51You do not get to do this at my wedding.
00:30:53This is my wedding.
00:30:54You do not dance with my husband.
00:30:56I'm so sorry.
00:30:57I forgot to send my congratulations on stealing my fiancé.
00:31:03Congrats, Gina.
00:31:04On a big, big day.
00:31:08Touch her and you'll lose this arm.
00:31:10Brian!
00:31:11Stay away from my girlfriend.
00:31:16Girlfriend?
00:31:18How is that possible?
00:31:20Why the fuck would you date this loser?
00:31:24You dumped her in high school.
00:31:26Hell, you should have dated me back then.
00:31:28I mean, you should have seen how pathetic Astrid was when you left her.
00:31:32She would cry like every morning and evening.
00:31:35For hours.
00:31:36For months.
00:31:38Super annoying.
00:31:39Gina, let's get something very clear.
00:31:41You have never been someone worthy of my affection.
00:31:44Now apologize to Astrid.
00:31:48Apologize to her?
00:31:50Never.
00:31:51I hear you have a pretty good standing in the whiskey business.
00:31:54It would be a shame if you suddenly stopped generating clientele.
00:31:58Are you threatening me?
00:31:59Apologize.
00:32:01You're bluffing.
00:32:02Would you like to find out?
00:32:07Would you like to find out?
00:32:08Holy shit.
00:32:09Clyde is an amazing actor.
00:32:11Wait.
00:32:13Please.
00:32:14I mean, I was just joking.
00:32:17I mean, sisterly banter, right, Astrid?
00:32:21Just roughhousing, you know?
00:32:24You're lucky this is all you have to do to repent.
00:32:26Apologize.
00:32:28It's your business.
00:32:29Are you going to do something?
00:32:31We are so, so sorry. Please.
00:32:33Brian!
00:32:34Please forgive my wife for her recklessness.
00:32:36I can't afford to lose the business, not with a baby on the way.
00:32:40Do you accept her apology, Astrid?
00:32:43Yeah.
00:32:45It's whatever.
00:32:47This guy.
00:32:53Hey, are you alright?
00:32:55Oh my god, Clyde, you totally had me back there.
00:32:57Why did you allow him to act like that?
00:32:59I...
00:33:00Thank you for that.
00:33:01I've never seen Brian and G like...
00:33:03Do you know, I thought you scared the shit out of them.
00:33:06At your service.
00:33:08How about a reward, then?
00:33:10What kind of reward?
00:33:12A dance.
00:33:14Just us two.
00:33:15For old time's sake.
00:33:17What?
00:33:18Huh?
00:33:19You said for old time's sake.
00:33:22I, uh...
00:33:23I meant, like, what it's like to dance as a kid.
00:33:26You know, that feeling like you have all the time in the world ahead of you?
00:33:29Sorry if that sounded weird.
00:33:32No, it's okay.
00:33:34Yeah, I'd like that.
00:33:42I danced with a girl like this once.
00:33:44Yeah?
00:33:45Yeah.
00:33:47Who was she?
00:33:49My first love.
00:33:50She was beautiful.
00:33:52She made every day so much brighter.
00:33:55I never found the love like I have with her.
00:33:57What happened?
00:33:59Then I, uh...
00:34:03I broke her heart.
00:34:07And I'm sorry to inform you that...
00:34:10Ryder has a brain tumor.
00:34:14Ryder!
00:34:15Ryder!
00:34:16Ryder!
00:34:22I should've been breaking up with you.
00:34:25Ryder, that's so funny.
00:34:28I mean it.
00:34:29This is our last dance.
00:34:30Let's not see each other again.
00:34:33Sorry, what?
00:34:34We...
00:34:35We love each other.
00:34:36What are you talking about?
00:34:37Ryder, just forgive me, Esther.
00:34:40Ryder!
00:34:41Ryder!
00:34:42What are you doing?
00:34:44Why?
00:34:45You broke up with her?
00:34:48Sometimes we don't really have a choice.
00:34:51We leave the ones we love because it's better for them.
00:34:55No.
00:34:56I think you always have a choice.
00:34:58You just have to pick your battles.
00:35:03Ryder Van Watson!
00:35:05It is so good to see you!
00:35:07It has been so long, dear!
00:35:09Ma'am?
00:35:11It's Candace.
00:35:12It's Candace!
00:35:13Remember?
00:35:16You know, I couldn't possibly understand what you see in my stepdaughter.
00:35:21Nothing but death and destruction in her wake.
00:35:25I didn't cause the fire, if that's what you're referring to.
00:35:28Oh, of course not.
00:35:30I mean, you were the only one home, right?
00:35:33Who else could be to blame?
00:35:36It couldn't have been your poor, sickly father, was it?
00:35:40Risked his life to save your worthless ass.
00:35:44Gina, on the other hand, did you know she has experience at the fire academy?
00:35:49She volunteered to put out fires in college.
00:35:53When are you going to stop with the lies?
00:35:55Don't talk back to me!
00:35:57Let's see what happens if you touch my girlfriend.
00:36:02Girlfriend?
00:36:05Yeah, right.
00:36:08I'm sorry.
00:36:09I'm sorry.
00:36:10On behalf of my tyrant stepdaughter, her behavior is vehement and out of line.
00:36:16You'll recall, you broke up with her once upon a time.
00:36:20I am sure you will come to those same senses again.
00:36:27You know, I think that you burned the house down with a candle.
00:36:32Please stop!
00:36:33What?
00:36:34You're scared of a little thing like this?
00:36:36Candace, enough.
00:36:40You have always been so quiet and unforgiving of everything I did.
00:36:46Like I'm some evil person.
00:36:50But we both know the real answer.
00:36:52You're the evil that has crept into my life and ruined everything that I've built.
00:36:59I don't hit women, but if you pull that shit again, I won't burn your fucking house down.
00:37:05Come on, Astrid. Let's go.
00:37:09Come on.
00:37:19That bitch!
00:37:21She humiliated me.
00:37:23Why does Ryder even want her?
00:37:25We'll fix this.
00:37:26We will take everything from her.
00:37:30Gina, hold off on signing that marriage certificate with Brian.
00:37:37A good plan.
00:37:40Wait, you didn't think I could dance?
00:37:44No, I was just pleasantly surprised is all.
00:37:52Well, thank you for tonight.
00:37:58Astrid.
00:38:01Wait, tell me what happened.
00:38:04There was a fire in my childhood home.
00:38:10And I was still inside when my dad got back.
00:38:16So he risked his life to save mine.
00:38:24And he's been in and out of the hospital with lung failure ever since.
00:38:29That's not your fault.
00:38:34And it's not your fault, Astrid.
00:38:40I promise I'll never let anyone hurt you ever again.
00:38:45Not as long as I live and breathe.
00:38:52You should get some rest.
00:38:56You should get some rest.
00:39:00Yeah.
00:39:01Good night, Clay.
00:39:05Let's go get drinks.
00:39:09Gina is a very bright girl.
00:39:13But I don't think she's a great long-term fit for our company.
00:39:17And it's Ryder's wife.
00:39:19No, I mean, Gina is a bright girl.
00:39:22Gina is a bright girl.
00:39:24She has two doctorate degrees.
00:39:27She's volunteered at the local animal shelter.
00:39:30She even had an orphan recently ask if she would adopt her.
00:39:38Well, I'll see what I can do to convince my son.
00:39:41That's wonderful. Wonderful.
00:39:43Thank you, Helen. Thank you.
00:39:46Come, dear.
00:39:53You only get one chance at this,
00:39:55and we are going to make sure you do not mess it up.
00:39:59You are going to give him a bottle of wine
00:40:02and show him the time of his life.
00:40:05You got that?
00:40:07What's in the wine?
00:40:09You are a clever girl, Gina.
00:40:13An aphrodisiac.
00:40:15He won't be able to resist you.
00:40:17You can't fail.
00:40:19He won't be able to resist you.
00:40:21You can't fail.
00:40:23Come on, we have to get everything ready.
00:40:50You wanted to see me?
00:40:52Yes.
00:40:55All right, spill.
00:40:57I have an interested prospect.
00:41:00You remember Astrid Marie?
00:41:02My ex. You want me to date Astrid?
00:41:04No.
00:41:06Her stepmother contacted me about you dating her daughter.
00:41:09You went to school with her. Her name's...
00:41:11Gina.
00:41:12Yes.
00:41:13Well, she does have a suitable background...
00:41:16No.
00:41:17...that would...
00:41:18Ryder.
00:41:19I refuse.
00:41:21Ryder.
00:41:22No.
00:41:23We both know you're lucky you made it this far,
00:41:26but we can't keep putting these things off.
00:41:31Sounds amazing.
00:41:32I'll be there soon.
00:41:34Okay, I'll do it.
00:41:36Perfect.
00:41:39Okay.
00:41:41Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:41:43Please tell me these are the updated designs
00:41:46that you've been meaning to give me.
00:41:48Yes, I was just on my way to get them to you.
00:41:50Great, well, let me see them when you're done
00:41:52fumbling like a fool on the ground.
00:42:07You really expect us to sell these?
00:42:10No, they're too expensive to make.
00:42:13No one's going to buy them.
00:42:14And, honey, they're ugly.
00:42:17Make more.
00:42:18And if you don't get this right, you will be fired
00:42:20and you will never see another wedding dress
00:42:22for the rest of your useless, worthless, meaningless life.
00:42:26Are we clear?
00:42:27You have until noon tomorrow.
00:42:28I have a meeting with Ryder Van Woodson
00:42:30and I want to show him the latest collection.
00:42:32So can we do that?
00:42:33And make sure that they're cheap.
00:42:36Okay?
00:42:37Great.
00:42:38Great.
00:42:55What happened?
00:42:56Oh, hey, Clyde.
00:42:58My boss didn't like any of my designs,
00:43:00so if I want to keep my job,
00:43:01the same job that's been helping me support my dad,
00:43:03I need to get her an entirely new collection
00:43:05by tomorrow afternoon.
00:43:07These are really good.
00:43:08Really? Thanks.
00:43:10What is she looking for?
00:43:12Modern, sleek, and cheap.
00:43:14I guess that's what the infamous Ryder Van Woodson
00:43:16wants to sell these days.
00:43:18My work is a vendor for his company,
00:43:20so they make and sell the dresses we just designed them.
00:43:24What? Really?
00:43:26Yeah.
00:43:28Just making it work for the big man.
00:43:32My ex is my biggest client.
00:43:36He'll be shit.
00:43:40That's fair.
00:43:46Could you be any more last minute?
00:43:48He's already in the building.
00:43:57I said cheap.
00:43:58I don't know what about a three-tiered skirt
00:44:01and a layered bodice is cheap,
00:44:03but it's fine.
00:44:05Just make it work. It'll do.
00:44:11You can go.
00:44:12I still have my job.
00:44:15Thank you, dear.
00:44:17You just got me my next promotion.
00:44:21Perfect.
00:44:22All right.
00:44:23I'm only going to be about 30 minutes max.
00:44:25I want you to take these to the CEO
00:44:26while I'm in my meeting with Fiona.
00:44:28You got it.
00:44:29If he has any questions about the proposal,
00:44:30just tell him I'll be up there shortly.
00:44:32Hey, Mr. Bossman,
00:44:34your cover's about to be blown.
00:44:46Adam!
00:44:47What are you doing here?
00:44:50Clive?
00:44:51Hi.
00:44:54Um...
00:44:57You know, my boss lent me his car
00:45:00to my meeting,
00:45:02which I'm going to go to now.
00:45:05Thanks, Clive.
00:45:06Have a good meeting.
00:45:08You got another job?
00:45:10Yeah.
00:45:11Just, you know, driving during the day
00:45:12and I'll bartend at night.
00:45:13A little extra side cash.
00:45:15Oh, that's great.
00:45:16You're busy.
00:45:17I kind of thought you were Ryder Van Winten.
00:45:19He's here today.
00:45:20You know, that'd be crazy
00:45:21if you guys weren't into each other.
00:45:22That would be very interesting.
00:45:24I mean, do you think I could pass
00:45:25as a Mr. Ryder Van Winten?
00:45:27I mean, maybe you could try.
00:45:29Hey, I've got to get these to Fiona
00:45:30before she fires me.
00:45:31If it's not, like, negative 60 seconds.
00:45:32So I'll see you later.
00:45:33But...
00:45:34Um...
00:45:35Will we wear those tonight?
00:45:37Yeah, that sounds...
00:45:38That sounds great.
00:45:53It's really good.
00:45:54Yeah, I know.
00:45:57Good afternoon, everyone.
00:46:01So I hear you had some new ideas
00:46:03you wanted to share with me and my company.
00:46:05Yes, I had some new product ideas
00:46:07that I think are going to drive so much in sales
00:46:09and you'll get 30% off the gross profit.
00:46:11This is a new and sleek collection
00:46:13that I'm debuting this season.
00:46:15I call it God Dress Apparel.
00:46:18Like, got that?
00:46:27These are really good.
00:46:30You designed all of these?
00:46:32Oh, yes, this is all my original work.
00:46:34I worked very hard this quarter, so...
00:46:38Really?
00:46:41Well, then, uh,
00:46:42care to explain who Ashred Marie is?
00:46:49Ashred?
00:46:50Yes, of course.
00:46:51Um...
00:46:52Uh...
00:46:55Uh, that is, um...
00:46:57That's a pen name.
00:46:59Yes, Mr. Ray Woodson,
00:47:00and you know artists who use pen names, so...
00:47:06Well, Fiona Leng,
00:47:09unfortunately for you,
00:47:11I dated an Ashred Marie once,
00:47:13and I just happened to let you accept this company
00:47:15under your direct management.
00:47:17So...
00:47:19are you going to give credit where credit is due,
00:47:22or am I going to have to report you
00:47:24for attempting plagiarism?
00:47:29Heh.
00:47:35And then my boss just walked out of her meeting,
00:47:37not a glance in my direction.
00:47:38She packed up all of her stuff and left.
00:47:40And then an hour later, I get an email
00:47:42saying that I've offered her position
00:47:44and that my designs were the top pick for Ryder's company.
00:47:48So you think you're going to take it?
00:47:50I mean, maybe.
00:47:52It's a pay raise, so it's a good deal.
00:47:56Also, I wanted to thank you
00:47:58for being very supportive
00:47:59with all of the explosion of chaos
00:48:01that I dumped on you.
00:48:03I really needed the encouragement, so...
00:48:06Thank you.
00:48:10You're welcome.
00:48:13Happy to help.
00:48:22How did you know
00:48:24that Pink Toad was my favorite flower?
00:48:27What flower?
00:48:29The flower that you left yesterday
00:48:31with the note at breakfast.
00:48:34I mean, that wasn't a guess, was it?
00:48:37I just...
00:48:39I saw it and I thought of you.
00:48:42You like Pink Toads?
00:48:44I do.
00:48:46You know it, right?
00:48:56Yeah.
00:49:23Astrid is going to regret messing with us.
00:49:26Definitely.
00:49:27They both are.
00:49:42Hi, Ryder.
00:49:46I have something for you.
00:49:56An apology?
00:49:58An apology?
00:50:00You are going to need to be
00:50:01much more specific while you're in my office,
00:50:04if that's all you have for an apology.
00:50:06Showing your face to me again.
00:50:08I know that I can be a pain sometimes.
00:50:11And I recognize that.
00:50:14And you know,
00:50:15I really don't want to be on bad terms with you, Ryder.
00:50:20But please,
00:50:22if you'd accept this as a token,
00:50:24just one last...
00:50:28I'm really sorry.
00:50:31Truly.
00:50:36Is that all?
00:50:38Was there something else you wanted me to say?
00:50:42Yes. I want you to apologize to your sister.
00:50:46She's the one that deserves it.
00:50:49Done.
00:50:54Here's your drink.
00:50:56And I'll go now.
00:51:04I'm really sorry, Ryder.
00:51:15Psycho.
00:51:25Actually,
00:51:29there's something else that I wanted to talk to you about.
00:51:34Is it true,
00:51:36what you said to me,
00:51:38about not liking me when we were in high school?
00:51:42Yes. I have never had any interest in you.
00:51:46Why?
00:51:48Why are you still here?
00:51:50Why?
00:51:52Why are you still here?
00:51:55I guess I just want to understand.
00:51:58What did Astrid have that I don't?
00:52:01Well, she doesn't resort to sabotage or violence to get the thing she wants.
00:52:04Now, if you will excuse me.
00:52:06What? So you like sweet and innocent?
00:52:10Why not fun and experience?
00:52:15Adam, come in here, please.
00:52:17What?
00:52:18So you don't feel anything?
00:52:22Nothing?
00:52:25I feel nothing towards you, Gina.
00:52:29Adam.
00:52:46What was that all about?
00:52:47Nothing, John.
00:52:50I'm going home for the evening.
00:52:52You feel free to leave early as well.
00:52:57Thank you.
00:52:58Good night.
00:52:59Good night, Adam.
00:53:13Your stepmother is a piece of work.
00:53:16I find it miraculous that she's trying to blame you for what happened.
00:53:22I know you didn't start that fire.
00:53:28On a lighter note, all of your debt was paid off by a mystery donor.
00:53:32And I got a promotion at work.
00:53:34This is wonderful news, sweetheart.
00:53:36So I think I'm going to have enough to buy us a place soon.
00:53:40I just need to save a little bit more.
00:53:42Sweetheart, don't worry about me.
00:53:44You look out for you first.
00:53:46I am. I have been.
00:53:49And...
00:53:50And?
00:53:52I like someone.
00:53:55His name is Clyde, but we live together.
00:53:57So I feel like it's not practical to have a crush on someone that you live with, right?
00:54:01No, but I could think of worse things to be in trouble over than living with someone you care about.
00:54:15Hi. Are you all right?
00:54:17Nothing.
00:54:19I think Gina drugged me.
00:54:23What?
00:54:24Did she overdose you or are you okay? You don't need to call someone.
00:54:27I don't know.
00:54:30I was hoping it would flash her.
00:54:32I don't know.
00:54:33I don't know.
00:54:34I don't know.
00:54:35I don't know.
00:54:36I don't know.
00:54:37I don't know.
00:54:38I don't know.
00:54:39I don't know.
00:54:40I don't know.
00:54:41I don't know.
00:54:42I don't know.
00:54:43I was hoping it would flash her.
00:54:45But now there's only thing I can see and the only thing I want to see.
00:54:50Clyde.
00:54:54I want you.
00:54:56I've wanted you for so long.
00:54:58Clyde.
00:54:59I have to tell you something.
00:55:01Clyde. How do I help? Who do I call?
00:55:03Who's that?
00:55:04I can't think. Whatever Gina gave me.
00:55:07I want to kiss her again, but I'm afraid I can't.
00:55:11Okay.
00:55:12Hospital.
00:55:13Okay.
00:55:14Okay.
00:55:15Clyde.
00:55:16I'm going to call an ambulance.
00:55:22How did it go?
00:55:23He wasn't affected by it.
00:55:25One sip should have been enough for it to work.
00:55:27What do you mean? It didn't work?
00:55:28No.
00:55:29So he didn't sleep with you?
00:55:30No, the concoction didn't work.
00:55:32The aphrodisiac.
00:55:33That can't be right.
00:55:35We put plenty of it in.
00:55:37More than plenty.
00:55:39It should have worked just fine.
00:55:43Drink.
00:55:44Me?
00:55:45Drink.
00:55:46You drink it.
00:55:47Oh, I am not the one who failed to sleep with Ryder.
00:55:49Now drink it.
00:55:54All of it.
00:55:57Go, go, go.
00:56:01Anything?
00:56:04Oh, God.
00:56:06That's fast.
00:56:08What?
00:56:13So he was just straight up repulsed by you.
00:56:18Oh, yes.
00:56:19The metabolism.
00:56:23I guess the only way to get Astrid out of the picture now is to take her out entirely.
00:56:39Oh, my God.
00:56:45I thought they were going to kill you.
00:56:47I'm all right.
00:56:51It was an aphrodisiac.
00:56:53I just had a bad reaction to it because of my tumor.
00:56:57My metabolism.
00:56:59I just had a bad reaction to it because of my tumor.
00:57:02I just had a bad reaction to it because of my tumor.
00:57:05My tumor.
00:57:06My metabolism.
00:57:09I'll be completely better by tomorrow.
00:57:11I just need to drink a lot of water and sleep it off.
00:57:13Any changes come back.
00:57:15Sorry to scare you.
00:57:21What are you looking at?
00:57:24You.
00:57:27You've waited here all night.
00:57:31Of course I waited.
00:57:33I was worried.
00:57:35All right.
00:57:36Well, let's get you home, then.
00:57:44Oh, my God.
00:57:45You look terrible.
00:57:47I was up all night.
00:57:48Gina drugged me.
00:57:49What?
00:57:50Yeah, she slipped me an aphrodisiac.
00:57:51I was in the hospital.
00:57:53Oh, my God.
00:57:54Are you all right?
00:57:55I mean, it didn't hit me until I was home, thankfully, but it did aggravate the tumor.
00:58:00Oh, my God.
00:58:01You filed a report.
00:58:02The police need to know about this.
00:58:03What kind of person does that?
00:58:04I did.
00:58:05She'll be in custody by the end of the day.
00:58:07Mom, you have to listen to me right now.
00:58:10Please.
00:58:12No more blind dates.
00:58:15I mean it.
00:58:16Ryder, you being in your condition, you're not capable of having one less.
00:58:22Well, but we have to do what's right for the business.
00:58:25It's about the business.
00:58:27If you set me up with another woman, I will step down from my position as CEO.
00:58:34Mommy, you don't mean that.
00:58:39Don't die.
00:58:40Ryder, we have to find someone suitable to help you run the business.
00:58:45It's a wedding business, okay?
00:58:48We have to show that marriage is a good thing.
00:58:50I know it sounds stupid, but we have to think about the company image.
00:58:55I don't care about the company image, Mom!
00:58:58What about me?
00:59:00What about what I want?
00:59:04What if I want to live alone and spend the rest of my life away from all of this?
00:59:08Give everything to the one woman I've ever loved before I leave.
00:59:11At least then she can get something from all the pain that I've caused her, being what I am.
00:59:16Honey, you are not your condition.
00:59:26I can't even hold memories, Mom.
00:59:32I can't find real love because of this thing that's grinding away at me.
00:59:37You are right.
00:59:39So I'd rather spend the remaining time that I have happy and enjoying myself
00:59:47than spend another second playing pretend with someone I don't even know.
00:59:51Mom, I already have someone.
00:59:57They can't have me, but they are my person.
01:00:06Mom, I would really, really appreciate it if you stop acting like I'm already gone.
01:00:12Because like it or not, I'm still here.
01:00:22Hi. How was your day?
01:00:37I'm sorry.
01:00:39Why are you hiding from me?
01:00:42I'm sorry.
01:00:44I'm sorry.
01:00:46I'm sorry.
01:00:48I'm sorry.
01:00:50Why are you hiding from me?
01:00:52That's the only thing I know how to do.
01:00:54That's all I can do. That's the problem.
01:00:59You don't have to hide from me.
01:01:20I'm sorry.
01:01:38This isn't my room.
01:01:41Who is this?
01:01:45This must be her room.
01:01:50Come in.
01:01:52How'd you sleep?
01:01:53I had a one-night stand.
01:01:55Good morning.
01:01:57I should...
01:02:00I should probably go now.
01:02:02Okay.
01:02:04Yeah, me too.
01:02:06This first day is my new position.
01:02:09Are these mine?
01:02:11Since when do I own a T-shirt?
01:02:21Well, uh, I'll see you.
01:02:23Yeah.
01:02:25See you later.
01:02:32Hey, Adam, can you come in here, please?
01:02:35Good morning, Mr. Van Woodson.
01:02:37Good morning, Adam.
01:02:39Can you brief me on my day-to-day?
01:02:42You have a meeting with the CEO of Starcast this afternoon.
01:02:48Why are you in a T-shirt?
01:02:59Hey.
01:03:04How you doing?
01:03:10What we talked about last night?
01:03:12Mm-hmm.
01:03:14I'm sorry.
01:03:17I love you,
01:03:19and I want you to be happy.
01:03:22You're right.
01:03:24I'm not gonna force you to go on any more blind dates.
01:03:31Ryder, you taking medication?
01:03:34Medication?
01:03:36Oh, Lord.
01:03:40You don't remember this morning, do you?
01:03:43Or last night?
01:03:46Honey, you have to take your pills.
01:03:51I don't get it.
01:03:53Well, take them, and you will.
01:04:01Okay, so I'm gonna check in with you later, all right?
01:04:06Mm-hmm.
01:04:07Remember, keep taking your pills.
01:04:11Mm-hmm.
01:04:12All right, I'll see you later.
01:04:17All right.
01:04:27I forgot who I asked her to watch.
01:04:31Oh.
01:04:45Hey, Astrid.
01:04:46Hi.
01:04:47You have a meeting tomorrow afternoon.
01:04:49Okay. What's the meeting for?
01:04:55New business relations.
01:04:58Business relations.
01:05:00That's not vague at all.
01:05:02It's a meeting to discuss CMW's acquisition of SCD.
01:05:09Ryder Van Woodson is trying to buy us out?
01:05:12Yes.
01:05:14And I have to be there for that meeting?
01:05:17Yes.
01:05:19I just can't believe he's trying to take over the company where I work.
01:05:22Like, this is so typical.
01:05:24Is there anything that Ryder Van Woodson can't have?
01:05:27And it's like it's not like I don't have enough going on at work already.
01:05:30God, it's like he's everywhere.
01:05:35I understand that I live with this more buff doppelganger,
01:05:38so he is top of mind for me right now, but still, it's just frustrating.
01:05:45You should talk to him.
01:05:49Why?
01:05:52Well, maybe there's some unresolved feelings there.
01:05:55It'd be good to just talk it out.
01:05:58I guess so.
01:06:00It's not like we're going to be working together.
01:06:04Maybe I'll try to catch him after that business meeting tomorrow.
01:06:07Good.
01:06:09Yeah, sounds good.
01:06:15There's actually something I've been wanting to talk to you about also.
01:06:19What is it?
01:06:23Well, I kind of wanted to talk about us.
01:06:30I kind of wanted to talk about us.
01:06:35Well, I feel like it's probably obvious already,
01:06:39but I like you.
01:06:44Like, really like you.
01:06:48Like you.
01:06:57I really like you, too.
01:07:06But I can't.
01:07:11I just, I don't think that it's...
01:07:18I can't have anything serious right now.
01:07:25I'm just not someone you can commit to.
01:07:28I have no long-term potential here.
01:07:36Okay.
01:07:39Understood.
01:07:41I'm sorry, Astra.
01:07:48Friends?
01:07:54How much?
01:07:57Yes, I can pay that.
01:07:59And more in a few weeks.
01:08:04Yes, not that I need to tell you, but be discreet.
01:08:09We don't want anyone to notice when she's suddenly gone.
01:08:17Great.
01:08:19Yes, tomorrow morning would be perfect.
01:08:25Thank you.
01:08:36You're gonna see Astrid at work.
01:08:39Like, see her.
01:08:43Yeah, we're acquiring the company she works at.
01:08:46So I said, I suggested that she speak to him.
01:08:50Me.
01:08:51When the meeting's finished, it's time that she knows the truth.
01:08:53I can't keep lying to her.
01:08:55It's only gonna hurt her more if I keep doing this.
01:08:57You want her to recognize you?
01:09:01Yeah.
01:09:03I'm just gonna explain why I did what I did.
01:09:07It's time that she knows the truth in your separate ways.
01:09:10She'll get everything.
01:09:11Her business.
01:09:12All of it.
01:09:14As long as she's taken care of, that's all that matters to me.
01:09:17She's gonna kick your ass.
01:09:22Yeah, she's more than allowed to be angry with me, I can understand that.
01:09:25Well, sayonara, buddy.
01:09:28Oh, you are coming with me.
01:09:31You're dragging me into this too?
01:09:34You have your own fessing up to do.
01:09:38Get off me!
01:09:40Get off me!
01:09:41Shut the fuck up, bitch!
01:09:42Get off!
01:09:43You fucking bitch!
01:09:45Whoa, whoa, whoa, Amy, stop the car, stop the car.
01:09:48Hey!
01:09:49Get away from my girl!
01:09:52Mr. Turner, are you okay?
01:09:59You son of a bitch!
01:10:01Get off of me, you fuck!
01:10:02Who are you working for?
01:10:03I'll never tell you!
01:10:05What?
01:10:06Get off!
01:10:07I will, uh, I'll cut off your nether regions.
01:10:11I'm a professional hitman, sonny boy!
01:10:14I'll never tell you a lick!
01:10:16I'll never talk!
01:10:17I'll pay you double.
01:10:19Deal.
01:10:22Is it a woman?
01:10:24Yeah.
01:10:25Candice Bergen.
01:10:27Burns or something.
01:10:281850 South?
01:10:29Count Place.
01:10:30Yeah, that's right.
01:10:32That's my stepmom.
01:10:34Oh, typical.
01:10:40You promised me.
01:10:42One million dollars.
01:10:44Pay up!
01:10:45Yeah, I'll pay.
01:10:46I'll pay you when you get out of prison, which is hopefully never.
01:10:48I'm not very unprofessional of you, you twat!
01:10:51Get off of me!
01:10:52Get the hell off me!
01:11:01Hey, Asher, are you okay?
01:11:03Hey, you're okay.
01:11:04Let's get you home.
01:11:05Adam and I will talk to the police.
01:11:09Clyde?
01:11:10Yeah?
01:11:13You were here for the meeting today?
01:11:15Yeah.
01:11:26Yeah.
01:11:29You lied to me.
01:11:34This whole time!
01:11:36Listen to me.
01:11:37Oh my God!
01:11:38How could I not have seen this?
01:11:40I am so stupid!
01:11:42It was you!
01:11:44Right?
01:11:47You were the one that paid off all my dad's debt.
01:11:52And you were the one that fired Fiona so that I would get promoted.
01:11:57And the flower and the apartment.
01:11:59Was that apartment even yours or was that a lie too?
01:12:02Listen, I was going to explain everything to you.
01:12:04Okay, just spare me any more lies!
01:12:07I trusted you.
01:12:11You're my ex, Ryder.
01:12:14My ex.
01:12:16You broke my heart.
01:12:18And then you wiggle your way back into my life for what?
01:12:22Some sick, twisted game?
01:12:24Some fantasy that you didn't get to fulfill?
01:12:27I'm not a toy, Ryder.
01:12:29I'm a person.
01:12:30With feelings.
01:12:32And you don't get to come in here and manipulate me just because you have the power to.
01:12:36Listen, I just wanted you to be happy.
01:12:38That's all I've ever wanted for you, Astrid.
01:12:40Yeah, manipulating me and lying behind my back.
01:12:43That was thrilling for me, Ryder.
01:12:45Thank you.
01:12:47No, no.
01:12:48Don't touch me!
01:12:51Dad, she sent hitmen after me.
01:13:02This woman is psychotic.
01:13:04She tried to kill me.
01:13:05And then Ryder showed up, but Clyde is Ryder.
01:13:09Which I feel so dumb for not seeing literally the moment that I saw him.
01:13:13And I'm just angry.
01:13:15Like, so angry.
01:13:17Adam knew this whole time he's been working for Ryder, and he didn't tell me.
01:13:22Wow.
01:13:23That's a lot.
01:13:31Yeah.
01:13:33What are you thinking?
01:13:36How do you feel?
01:13:37I don't know.
01:13:40Confused, I guess.
01:13:43Why would Ryder break up with me just to come back into my life under a different name?
01:13:47That makes no sense.
01:13:49Would talking to Adam maybe provide you a little insight, maybe?
01:13:53I guess.
01:13:55But I'm mad at him.
01:13:56He's been working for Ryder this whole time and didn't tell me.
01:13:59He knew.
01:14:01He may have a perfectly sound explanation.
01:14:03But if not, then leave.
01:14:06Find another nice place elsewhere.
01:14:10I guess.
01:14:13Thanks, Chad.
01:14:15I think I'm going to come back here tonight, if that's okay.
01:14:18I don't think I'll be going home.
01:14:21You're always welcome in my house.
01:14:24Thanks.
01:14:31Your wife is sick.
01:14:35Hey, yeah.
01:14:36I was wondering if you could look into something for me, please.
01:14:40Can you look up a Candace Margaret Diane?
01:14:47About your inquiry the other day, Mr. Van Woodson, Candace Margaret Diane does not exist.
01:14:52What?
01:14:53But we did find out some other information for you.
01:14:55No, are you serious?
01:14:58Oh.
01:15:05What was I just doing?
01:15:17Hey, Adam, can you come in here, please?
01:15:22Yeah.
01:15:25Can you, uh, can you just brief me on my last few meetings today?
01:15:30Ryder, are you okay?
01:15:32I don't know.
01:15:34I think I'm just a little overworked.
01:15:36Ryder, you just got into the office.
01:15:41I did.
01:15:43Like three in the afternoon.
01:15:45Well, with the thing with Astrid?
01:15:47Astrid.
01:15:50Okay, I think maybe we're going to get you to the doctor.
01:15:52Something's not right with you.
01:15:54I know.
01:15:56Hey, Ryder, you got to go to my next meeting now.
01:16:01Ryder, what's going on?
01:16:03Yeah, Ryder's confused.
01:16:04He hasn't remembered any of this morning.
01:16:07That's okay.
01:16:09Well, let's go and do the meeting.
01:16:13Hey.
01:16:15Whoa, Ryder.
01:16:16Okay, okay.
01:16:17He's having an episode.
01:16:20We need to go to the ER now.
01:16:22Now.
01:16:23Call them now.
01:16:25Hang on.
01:16:26Hang on, honey.
01:16:27It's going to be all right.
01:16:29Hang on, baby.
01:16:30Hang on.
01:16:32Helen, what's happening to Ryder?
01:16:34He hasn't been taking his medication.
01:16:38Come on.
01:16:40Hurry.
01:16:44Adam?
01:16:47What are you doing here?
01:16:48Astrid, hey.
01:16:50Did you come back for Ryder?
01:16:52No, I was visiting my dad.
01:16:54Is Ryder here?
01:16:56Did he follow me here?
01:16:58Oh.
01:16:59Oh?
01:17:01Oh, Adam?
01:17:02I need answers from you.
01:17:04Why is Ryder at the hospital?
01:17:06Astrid, he didn't...
01:17:09Okay, so what's going on?
01:17:15Ryder's been put in a medically induced coma.
01:17:18He's going into surgery.
01:17:20What?
01:17:22Why?
01:17:30He has a brain tumor, Astrid.
01:17:38We didn't realize that until he was about to graduate high school, around the same time that you two broke up.
01:17:45But his brain functioning has been affecting him since he was 13 years old.
01:17:52Memory loss, headaches, confusion, slow metabolism, medication problems, seizures.
01:18:01It's just been so unquantful.
01:18:05Oh, my God.
01:18:07So that's why?
01:18:10He had a brain tumor?
01:18:14He hasn't been capable of any long-term relationships.
01:18:20But...
01:18:25He loved you, Astrid.
01:18:30He still does.
01:18:36Will you wait for him?
01:18:39Will you wait until he wakes up?
01:18:43When or if he wakes up?
01:18:48I'm sure he would love to see you.
01:18:52Yeah.
01:18:54Yeah, I'll be right here.
01:18:55Okay.
01:18:59Thank you so much for being here.
01:19:02Of course.
01:19:10I'm sorry, Red, for not telling you about Ryder.
01:19:15About him pretending to be Clyde and trying to get close to you.
01:19:20I was the one that instigated the roommate living situation.
01:19:27Fuck you, Adam.
01:19:30You should have told me.
01:19:42Do you know why he did it?
01:19:45Why you lied? I don't understand why you didn't just tell me.
01:19:48I could give you my best guess, but...
01:19:52I don't have the answer to that either.
01:19:58You'll have to ask him when he's out of surgery.
01:20:03If he's out of surgery?
01:20:06When.
01:20:09Have faith.
01:20:19I hate it about surgery.
01:20:24Ryder.
01:20:27Honey, it's Mommy.
01:20:30It's Mommy, I'm here.
01:20:34I don't think I really believed it until right now.
01:20:46I'm so sorry.
01:20:49For being so angry at you.
01:20:53I don't understand why you lied to me, but at this point it really doesn't matter.
01:21:01Just please come back.
01:21:05Ryder.
01:21:18I think I'm going to see my dad really quick, he's just down the hall.
01:21:22Will you call me if you need anything?
01:21:24Okay, sweetheart.
01:21:26Thanks for being here.
01:21:27Of course.
01:21:47Ah!
01:21:56Good!
01:22:01You're finally awake!
01:22:04What do you want?
01:22:07God, you're useless!
01:22:09You're just a waste of space!
01:22:12I've been trying to tell you for years to stay out of my way.
01:22:19And what do you consistently do?
01:22:21You get in my way!
01:22:24You got Gina, my only chance at Ryder's fortune, injuring my family in jail!
01:22:36It was you!
01:22:38You were the one that started the fire!
01:22:43Hey.
01:22:45You want to go get something to eat?
01:22:48Okay.
01:23:02How is your boyfriend doing?
01:23:05I hear he has a little issue with his brain.
01:23:09A pesky little tumor, right?
01:23:12How did you know that?
01:23:13I have friends.
01:23:14Sure would be a shame if someone were to leak that the grand billionaire CEO of Van Woodson Fortune has been sick this entire time!
01:23:24Oh, what would that do to his business?
01:23:28What do you want?
01:23:32I get what I've always wanted.
01:23:34But you and your father could never give me as much as I forced you both!
01:23:40Forced us?
01:23:44Who do you think introduced you to Ryder, sweetheart?
01:23:48That wasn't a chance meeting.
01:23:50I orchestrated it, hoping that you or Gina would be smart enough to latch onto him and all you had to do was keep him around!
01:24:00You were so worthless he couldn't even stand to stay with you!
01:24:05But something changed.
01:24:07He came back to you!
01:24:09My luck changed!
01:24:12You've been after Ryder's business this whole time?
01:24:15I know potential when I see it.
01:24:18And you don't have it.
01:24:20So you set my house on fire to kill me?
01:24:24I always get what I want, don't I?
01:24:28Now, you are going to marry Ryder and give me the business shares.
01:24:35Or his business goes up in flames.
01:24:40Because if I can't have it, no one can!
01:24:52They know what they're doing, they know what they're doing.
01:24:54They'll give him what he needs.
01:24:57What the fuck?
01:25:00You're a psycho!
01:25:02And you're dead!
01:25:06So what's it gonna be, dear daughter?
01:25:13This should be an easy decision.
01:25:15You get to spend your life with the man of your dreams!
01:25:20Well, until he dies of cancer.
01:25:25Give me the money and the revenue!
01:25:29Or you die the way you were supposed to anyway.
01:25:34No.
01:25:37No.
01:25:39No!
01:25:41I would rather die than betray Ryder.
01:25:45He doesn't deserve it.
01:25:46I won't let you!
01:25:50You okay?
01:25:51Yeah.
01:25:54Fuck!
01:25:56Why are you here?
01:25:58Phyllis Gray, you are wanted for murder, now attempted murder.
01:26:01How did you...
01:26:02I put the pieces together when you threatened Astrid at Gina's wedding.
01:26:05Hard a P.I. to look into, that's your real name, isn't it?
01:26:07You're a sick woman jumping from family to family, destroying them from the inside out,
01:26:11just to get a little side cash, huh?
01:26:13You have quite the record of fires starting in your homes.
01:26:16I did what I had to, to survive.
01:26:19It's me and Gina against the world.
01:26:22What would a mother to do?
01:26:25I should have just killed you when you were young and I had the chance!
01:26:29You know, when you married my dad, I really thought we were going to be a family.
01:26:34Now I know how wrong I was.
01:26:39Wait!
01:26:41Wait, no, no!
01:26:43We can come to some sort of an agreement.
01:26:45We don't ever have to see one another again.
01:26:48Please.
01:26:50I love you.
01:26:54Oh, no!
01:27:02Ryder, we are ready for your surgery.
01:27:06Thank you.
01:27:14See you guys on the other side, huh?
01:27:18I love you.
01:27:22I'll see you guys soon.
01:27:25But I need a moment to talk with Astrid.
01:27:35We can talk when your surgery's over.
01:27:40You know I might not make it back.
01:27:44I owe you an explanation.
01:27:50I broke up with you because I didn't want you to be with a man who's going to be sick.
01:27:58Someone who would forget things half the time.
01:28:00Someone you'd have to support and take care of.
01:28:02Someone who would slowly lose themselves.
01:28:04I just...
01:28:07I didn't want that for you, Astrid.
01:28:11Then I saw you again and I thought, you know, one conversation can't hurt.
01:28:20One more chance to help you find and feel better.
01:28:26One more chance to hear your voice.
01:28:29And to be around you.
01:28:33And then I heard about you needing a place to stay in your financial struggles and I thought...
01:28:41Well, if I could help you, I still can.
01:28:44Maybe that way I could be with you.
01:28:47Without actually being with you.
01:28:52And if I died, if this disease took me at the very least, I could die happy knowing that you were taken care of.
01:29:00I think I just spent my last few days with you.
01:29:05I know it was selfish of me.
01:29:08But I don't regret it.
01:29:13Every second with you has given me one more chance to hold on a little longer.
01:29:19You're not going anywhere.
01:29:22Astrid...
01:29:26I've never loved anyone else.
01:29:29And you are it.
01:29:31And I'm so sorry for lying to you.
01:29:34I am.
01:29:40But I don't regret it.
01:29:43Not one second.
01:29:45I'd do it all over again.
01:29:49Not one second.
01:29:51I'd do it all over again.
01:30:02I love you.
01:30:04I love you.
01:30:17I love you, sweetheart.
01:30:19I love you too, Dad.
01:30:21I love you.
01:30:32I wish Ryder were here to see it.
01:30:35Who said I wasn't coming?
01:30:37Ryder! What are you doing here?
01:30:39I wouldn't miss this for the world, business trippy Dan.
01:30:43I was actually wondering if I could steal her for a little bit.
01:30:46Sure, sure, don't let me get in your way.
01:30:48I have something to show you, I'll be back.
01:30:50Okay.
01:30:55Astrid, there's not been a single day since I've met you that I've not thought about you.
01:31:01My love and adoration for you continues to be a shining light I hope I will always be able to see.
01:31:09Astrid, meeting you has been nothing short of divine, destiny, fate.
01:31:18Ryder, I wish upon a star it'd be you that I see looking back at me.
01:31:23Astrid, will you marry me?
01:31:28Yes!
01:31:39Thank you for being my knight in shining suit.
01:31:42Sweet, young, everlasting love.
