00:00:00These are all so good, I don't know how we're going to decide.
00:00:12Brian?
00:00:13Are you okay?
00:00:14You haven't tried any of them.
00:00:21This one's my favorite.
00:00:23I'll go with the vanilla.
00:00:24Gina, it's my wedding, so I will be making the decisions.
00:00:28I'm not really sure why you insisted on coming today.
00:00:31When were you planning on telling her?
00:00:33Astrid, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about.
00:00:37Ugh, out with it, Brian.
00:00:41Astrid?
00:00:45I'm pregnant with Brian's baby.
00:00:50That is not funny.
00:00:52I hate to be the one to break it to you,
00:00:54but Brian and I will be getting married in a couple of weeks, instead of you.
00:00:59So I'm assuming that you won't be needing a plus one.
00:01:06Astrid, I'm sorry.
00:01:10You're sorry?
00:01:13You're sorry?!
00:01:15Five years, Brian!
00:01:18Five years, down the drain!
00:01:21I've been paying your rent to help you with your business,
00:01:24and I've been helping you with your mom when she's sick!
00:01:26Are you fucking kidding?!
00:01:27Oh my god, stop being so dramatic.
00:01:30Look, I already packed your shit from his apartment.
00:01:34It's at the dump, where you belong.
00:01:52Ow!
00:01:56Have fun eating cake, you two pieces of shit!
00:01:59Bitch!
00:02:06Adam, I'll move my meeting to Monday. I'm out for the evening as of...
00:02:12Right now. Good night, Adam.
00:02:14Wait!
00:02:16Yeah, and he's gone.
00:02:18Good night.
00:02:22Did you know that if you only slash three out of four tires on a car,
00:02:25the insurance won't cover it?
00:02:26Oh, and I love cheese!
00:02:28I know this one place that has barrels full of different cheeses from all over the world.
00:02:31Ryder, you would love it!
00:02:33We should go sometime.
00:02:34I'm lactose intolerant.
00:02:36What's lactose intolerant?
00:02:39Excuse me, I have to use the bathroom.
00:02:44Sir, Madam asked that I keep an eye on you, in case you try to run away again.
00:02:50I appreciate that, Mason, but I'm just going to use the bathroom.
00:02:53Is that an issue? I'm not twelve.
00:03:14Give me your vest. Give me your pants.
00:03:16Ah!
00:03:28Get the suit.
00:03:30Oh, my God.
00:03:32It has to be worth like ten thousand!
00:03:35It's...
00:03:37It's...
00:03:39It's...
00:03:41It's ten thousand!
00:03:45I should let more men strip me naked.
00:03:48Oh! Oh, my God! Sorry!
00:03:53Astrid?
00:03:55It really is her.
00:04:03Hi.
00:04:04Hi.
00:04:06Can I... Can I walk you home?
00:04:08And she was horrified to see me.
00:04:11I guess that makes sense, considering she's my ex.
00:04:14And I was the one who broke her heart.
00:04:16Ryder?
00:04:18Ryder Van Woodson.
00:04:20What the hell are you doing here?
00:04:23Ryder Van Woodson.
00:04:25What the hell are you doing here?
00:04:30You're not Ryder.
00:04:31What?
00:04:32Sorry. Oh, my God.
00:04:33She doesn't recognize that it's me.
00:04:35It's a fitting image of this evil ex of mine from high school, but...
00:04:41But more buff, for sure.
00:04:43Oh, my God.
00:04:44I've had enough drama for one day to have to deal with that old flame.
00:04:47He broke up with me randomly, crushed me, and...
00:04:49If only you knew the truth about why he broke up with you.
00:04:52I guess it wouldn't hurt to be a good old friend to Clyde for a little bit.
00:04:55She looks like she really is your friend.
00:04:57I'm sorry you had a horrible day.
00:04:59On behalf of my apparently skinnier and less handsome doppelganger,
00:05:03I offer you a drink.
00:05:05Yes. You're a godsend, Clyde.
00:05:07A drink is exactly what I came here for.
00:05:10A Long Island, please.
00:05:12A Long Island coming right up.
00:05:14You know, speaking of...
00:05:16dumb reasons to get dumped,
00:05:18I actually just got dumped, like, 15 minutes ago.
00:05:21Two weeks before our wedding.
00:05:23I was pregnant.
00:05:24You're pregnant?
00:05:26He dumped you because of a baby?
00:05:28No. He knocked out my stepsister.
00:05:30Oh, my God.
00:05:32We've been together for five years,
00:05:34and how much of that time was he pinning down my stepsister?
00:05:37I mean, am I so just worthless of a girlfriend?
00:05:42The man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with...
00:05:46has just been with my stepsister.
00:05:49That's a very weird tasting Long Island.
00:05:51That is the, uh, how special.
00:05:55You know, maybe you're supposed to be with someone who actually wants to cherish you.
00:05:59Someone, from the moment that they laid eyes on you,
00:06:03knew that you'd be the one for them.
00:06:07That is a horrible drink.
00:06:10No offense.
00:06:12Oh, that is hitting, so...
00:06:17Um, hi.
00:06:19My baby!
00:06:22I just heard.
00:06:24Ryder.
00:06:26What are you doing here?
00:06:29Um...
00:06:35I know.
00:06:37Very similar looking to Ryder.
00:06:40Clyde. Clyde.
00:06:42Adam. Adam. Clyde.
00:06:44Ryder.
00:06:46Ryder is this asshole CEO.
00:06:48He's got buckets and buns of money.
00:06:52Buckets and buns, huh?
00:06:54He wouldn't need to be bartending to some drunk folk like us.
00:06:57Can I actually get another one of those please?
00:06:59Um...
00:07:01Yeah, my mistake. Right.
00:07:03Um, but how are you doing?
00:07:06Women are stupid, you know?
00:07:09Just one too many you've had to deal with this evening.
00:07:17Since you asked, personally, I am peachy.
00:07:21I can see that.
00:07:23Honey bunny, why don't we, um, get you home now, okay?
00:07:26And maybe let's stop sitting next to the man that looks like your ex,
00:07:31before someone sees you.
00:07:33We should take a selfie.
00:07:35Can we? Can we?
00:07:36Clyde, come on. Pretend to be Ryder with him.
00:07:38Let's take a selfie.
00:07:39Come here.
00:07:43Alright, time to go.
00:07:45Okay.
00:07:46Goodnight, Mr. D.
00:07:47My bag.
00:07:48Yeah, get your bag.
00:07:51I owe you one.
00:07:53Up to no good, you are.
00:07:55Alright, come on. Here we go.
00:08:01Will you just cross?
00:08:03Cross, but careful of the...
00:08:05Alright, alright, alright.
00:08:08It's good to see you one more time, Astrid.
00:08:11If I can do that...
00:08:12Are you good? Are you good?
00:08:16I don't want you to have to stay with him any longer than is necessary.
00:08:19I know, you are so right.
00:08:26Of course, you'd be here.
00:08:30One place I have left to sleep.
00:08:32Why are you here?
00:08:34Well, I couldn't actually go to my ex-fiance's place.
00:08:38No thanks to you, Gina.
00:08:40Some stepsister.
00:08:41You are.
00:08:42So...
00:08:43Actually, I had nowhere else to go.
00:08:46So you got kicked out of Brian's,
00:08:49and you come to my mom's place to sleep?
00:08:52Are you serious?
00:08:54Are you serious?
00:08:55I mean, go be a homeless bum somewhere else.
00:08:59Get out.
00:09:00You are no daughter of mine.
00:09:02You were an asshole to me,
00:09:04and you were an asshole to Brian.
00:09:06That's why he did not want anything to do with you.
00:09:10Luckily, Gina was able to keep his wealth in the family.
00:09:13No thanks to you.
00:09:15Really?
00:09:17Really?
00:09:18And my dad, who's been in the hospital,
00:09:21in and out for the last five years,
00:09:23have either of you ever dared to lift a finger to try to help?
00:09:28No.
00:09:29I didn't think so.
00:09:31I'm going to bed.
00:09:33Oh, you are not sleeping here.
00:09:36Okay, I'm not sleeping here.
00:09:39It's not like I enjoy being in your presence.
00:09:43You'll probably get contaminated with whatever sticks up both of your butts.
00:09:47Like mother, like daughter, right?
00:09:51You come into my house.
00:09:53You are under my roof.
00:09:55You will show me respect.
00:09:58Respect is earned.
00:10:02You've done nothing to earn my respect.
00:10:06Get out.
00:10:07I don't ever want to see you again.
00:10:13Oh, but you will see me again
00:10:16at Gina's grand wedding
00:10:18with my new man,
00:10:20who's actually richer than Brian.
00:10:23Oh, yeah, right.
00:10:25Like who?
00:10:29Ryder Van Woodson.
00:10:31Ryder Van Woodson.
00:10:36Okay, Ryder dumped you in high school.
00:10:39Why would he be interested in someone like you?
00:10:42You don't deserve someone like him.
00:10:44I guess you're just going to have to wait and see on your big day, Gina.
00:10:48Me and my hot new date.
00:10:50I'm going to go pack my shit and leave.
00:10:56How is that possible?
00:10:58Mom!
00:10:59Ryder Van Woodson, the heir of the Van Woodson group?
00:11:02I don't believe that little bitch.
00:11:12I have nowhere to go.
00:11:15Except maybe my dad's at the hospital, but...
00:11:18that's a far walk.
00:11:20I have to convince Art Under Clyde
00:11:22to go with me as a...
00:11:24as a rider to the wedding.
00:11:27Astrid, you are just full of great drunk ideas.
00:11:44Why are you here?
00:11:46Oh, good, you're home.
00:11:48I wanted to ask you, how was your date with Little Miss Dolly?
00:11:51Spectacular.
00:11:52Really?
00:11:53No, Mom, I was being sarcastic.
00:11:55Then why don't you just say so?
00:11:57Would you please, can you please
00:11:59just stop setting me up on these blind dates?
00:12:01Ryder, you know why I'm doing this.
00:12:03You need an heir.
00:12:05My head is throbbing, Mom.
00:12:07Did you take your medication today?
00:12:09No.
00:12:10Figures.
00:12:12So you're gonna stop?
00:12:14No.
00:12:16We need someone capable to run the business.
00:12:18Okay, just in case...
00:12:22In case I die?
00:12:30In case I die?
00:12:32I was going to say...
00:12:34in case you are no longer able to do it all alone.
00:12:40We did a number of tests on your son, Mrs. Van Woodson.
00:12:44And I'm sorry to inform you that
00:12:47Ryder has a brain tumor.
00:12:54Now, we can discuss some treatment options.
00:12:58At the moment,
00:13:01the cancer has taken over a portion of his brain that
00:13:05we don't feel is safe to operate.
00:13:10Ryder...
00:13:22Ryder!
00:13:24Yeah?
00:13:26Well, don't you worry about me.
00:13:29I can handle it.
00:13:31Yeah, well...
00:13:35Ryder, are you alright?
00:13:39Honey?
00:13:40Honey, are you alright?
00:13:42Oh.
00:13:43You're having an episode, honey.
00:13:45We have to go to the hospital.
00:13:58Here.
00:14:01You doing okay?
00:14:03You wandered in here very drunk last night.
00:14:08Ryan cheated on me and Gina.
00:14:11I'm so sorry, honey.
00:14:16Oh, morning, halfling.
00:14:19I'm sorry, what did you just call my dad?
00:14:21So, there have been some changes with the insurance coverages
00:14:24and your dad's provided care.
00:14:26New doctor in sight was needed.
00:14:28I'm sorry, you're telling me that you changed the doctor
00:14:31to someone that wasn't under our coverage so you could gouge more money from us?
00:14:34I am literally already homeless.
00:14:36What are you taking, like another 10,000?
00:14:3850,000, most likely.
00:14:40And what I'm telling you is that if you're unhappy with the provided care here,
00:14:44you can find another hospital to bitch at.
00:15:02Adam, I need you to...
00:15:04Yes, good morning, Adam.
00:15:06Okay, enough.
00:15:08I'll see you when I get in the office.
00:15:10Right now, I need you to listen to me.
00:15:14I slept at the hospital with my dad, which is fine,
00:15:17but it's obviously not sustainable.
00:15:22Yeah, I'd also really like to have a place in case he gets discharged.
00:15:26And to live.
00:15:28But, you know, I'd say you could stay at mine,
00:15:31but the in-laws have taken refuge here as well.
00:15:35You know, I might...
00:15:37I might call you back.
00:15:39Okay.
00:15:44Hey.
00:15:45How do you know Astrid?
00:15:47She's been my best friend since college.
00:15:50Why are you trying to get buddy-buddy with Astrid under an alias?
00:15:55She needs a place to stay, right?
00:15:57She spent the night at the hospital with her dad.
00:15:59You didn't answer my question.
00:16:01Who is Astrid to you, Mr. Van Woodson?
00:16:04No one.
00:16:05No, no, no, no, don't give me that.
00:16:07You were giving me those googly eyes,
00:16:09begging me not to reveal who you are.
00:16:11So, Mr. Van Woodson, what are you doing with Astrid?
00:16:15I know you two dated.
00:16:17That's why I haven't told her I work for you.
00:16:21I just want to help her.
00:16:23That's all.
00:16:24She needed a friend.
00:16:25She has a friend.
00:16:27You, sir?
00:16:28Not a friend.
00:16:29You are an ex of hers who ripped out her heart and ate it for breakfast.
00:16:34I had no choice.
00:16:36We all make choices.
00:16:37You had yours.
00:16:39Choice is an illusion.
00:16:41Now, back to what I was saying.
00:16:42She needs a place to stay, right?
00:16:58Moving in with a stranger who looks exactly like your ex is totally normal.
00:17:03Come on, Astrid, you can do this.
00:17:17Hey, Astrid.
00:17:18He even sounds like him.
00:17:21Astrid?
00:17:22Yeah?
00:17:23Will you go to prom with me?
00:17:26Of course I will.
00:17:30Yes.
00:17:44Ryder.
00:17:46Sorry, Clyde.
00:17:47I called you Ryder again.
00:17:49It's okay.
00:17:50Come on in.
00:17:59Adam said you needed a roommate.
00:18:01I just happened to need one as well.
00:18:04Yeah, weird.
00:18:05Coincidence.
00:18:09About the other night, I was very drunk.
00:18:13And I'm a bartender.
00:18:14Don't worry about it.
00:18:16I actually prepped us some dinner.
00:18:18I hope you like salmon.
00:18:21Oh, sorry.
00:18:23What's wrong?
00:18:24Can you actually...
00:18:26What's wrong?
00:18:30Cable, uh...
00:18:31I love you.
00:18:33Are you okay?
00:18:35I'm fine.
00:18:36I'm fine.
00:18:37I'm fine.
00:18:38I'm fine.
00:18:39I'm fine.
00:18:41I'm fine.
00:18:43I'm fine.
00:18:44I'm fine.
00:18:45I'm fine.
00:18:46I'm fine.
00:18:48I'm fine.
00:18:49Sorry.
00:18:51No, don't be sorry. Are you okay?
00:18:55Come sit.
00:19:05Do you...
00:19:07Do you want to talk about it?
00:19:09No.
00:19:11I'd rather not.
00:19:13I understand.
00:19:20Um...
00:19:22I do have to ask you something.
00:19:24Yeah, sure. Ask away.
00:19:27I might have told my stepmom and stepsister
00:19:30that I was going to the wedding with Ryder Ann Woodson.
00:19:33I showed them that selfie that I took with you.
00:19:36You don't have to,
00:19:38but if you'd be willing to go
00:19:40and pretend to be Ryder Ann Woodson...
00:19:50Sure.
00:19:52Really? You would do that?
00:19:54I mean, I don't see why not.
00:19:56Free food and drinks, right?
00:19:58Yeah, I mean, I've been planning for it to be an open bar.
00:20:00Good.
00:20:02Then you're going to have to brief me on you and Ryder's relationship.
00:20:05Oh. Uh...
00:20:07Sure.
00:20:09I mean, he was a skinny kid.
00:20:11Not at all your physique.
00:20:13Um...
00:20:15Anyway.
00:20:17We had a really loving relationship.
00:20:19We were completely inseparable.
00:20:21We were talking about moving in together,
00:20:23starting our futures.
00:20:25Very serious stuff for we 17-year-olds, but...
00:20:28I should have known one day he would just leave.
00:20:31Be a dick.
00:20:33Check and check.
00:20:37If only she knew that I would just be showing up as myself.
00:20:47What are you here for this time?
00:20:49Yes, well, I came to see how he was doing.
00:20:52Still sick and dying.
00:20:54Oh, good. I would hate for my husband to recover.
00:20:58Anyways.
00:21:00I need a favor from you.
00:21:02I need a certain...
00:21:04medication.
00:21:06An aphrodisiac.
00:21:08Taste this.
00:21:11I'll pay you extra for it.
00:21:13Wait.
00:21:15Here.
00:21:17Got just what you need.
00:21:23You stupid old man.
00:21:25You sh...
00:21:27Your daughter wasn't worth saving.
00:21:29You should have just let her burn.
00:21:31We could have collected the insurance money and run off together.
00:21:36We could have collected the insurance money and run off together.
00:21:40But you had to be the stubborn hero, didn't you?
00:21:43You've lost all your money to medical bills.
00:21:59Yeah, what's up?
00:22:01The doctor you wanted me to look into?
00:22:04Yeah.
00:22:06It turns out, Dr. Daniel Evans has no background as a medical care professional.
00:22:11In fact, he has a criminal background selling drugs.
00:22:25Come on.
00:22:27Where are you going?
00:22:29I'm kicking a drug dealer's ass, are you joining me or not?
00:22:35Yeah.
00:22:48Dr. Daniel Evans?
00:22:50Can I help you?
00:22:52Yeah.
00:22:55I haven't seen you in a while.
00:22:59Hello, John.
00:23:00Do you need something?
00:23:05You're the bastard that's been smoking outside the room with a man suffering from lung failure.
00:23:13Yo, what the fuck?
00:23:15Who the fuck do you think you are?
00:23:18Termination papers.
00:23:19You'll be serving jail time for perpetuating patient symptoms under reckless behavior while within the hospital walls.
00:23:24You're also going to be charged with selling the hospital's narcotics.
00:23:27The police are outside waiting to escort you.
00:23:30I'm Ryder Van Woodson.
00:23:34Good luck selling drugs in jail, bitch.
00:23:42Thank you so much.
00:23:44Okay, you too.
00:23:47Coming!
00:23:48What's up?
00:23:50The hospital that my dad has admitted to just called and said that all of my bills have been paid off by a mystery donor
00:23:55and he's being transferred to a better care unit free of charge and cost.
00:23:59That is awesome news.
00:24:01I feel like I can breathe now.
00:24:04This is like the most relief I've felt in a decade.
00:24:08And now, now I can start planning to buy him a house.
00:24:11Oh, you want to buy him a house?
00:24:13Yeah, well, I mean, that's the plan. We'll see.
00:24:15I don't earn enough right now to do that, but...
00:24:17Ow!
00:24:19Oh my goodness, okay.
00:24:24You alright?
00:24:26You know, you'd make a pretty good doctor.
00:24:28Yeah, right.
00:24:29Wouldn't have to if someone knew what hot was.
00:24:32I think I have a great understanding of what hot is.
00:24:34Oh, is that so?
00:24:39Are you, um, ready for the wedding later?
00:24:43Uh...
00:24:45Your wedding.
00:24:48What wedding?
00:24:50Uh, wedding.
00:24:52Yeah, what, what wedding?
00:24:55Oh, the one that I invited you to to pretend to be Ryder and Woodson?
00:25:00Yeah, yeah, that wedding.
00:25:02Yeah, of course, uh, when are we leaving?
00:25:05Seven-ish. Are you okay?
00:25:07If you don't want to go, we don't have to.
00:25:09No, I said we're going to go, so we're going to go.
00:25:11I'm just, uh, I'm going to lay down for a second first.
00:25:15Okay.
00:25:26Maybe this was a mistake.
00:25:29She's going to find out who I am if my memory issues continue.
00:25:35And it's not like I can remember what I can't remember.
00:25:40I don't remember the wedding at all.
00:25:42Yeah, that doesn't matter.
00:25:44But what if I lose my memories of her?
00:25:51Ready when you are.
00:25:53One sec.
00:25:55We're going to miss the reception if you don't hurry.
00:25:57I don't really care about the reception.
00:25:59I just care about the blasted after party.
00:26:13Wow.
00:26:14What? Is this too much?
00:26:16My friend let me borrow the dress. Well, actually, she made it for me.
00:26:18She said it was an early birthday gift, but my birthday's not for like six months.
00:26:22You look stunning.
00:26:24Brian's going to rethink all of his life decisions.
00:26:27That leaving you is the worst thing he could have ever done.
00:26:29Yeah, well, he cheated on me, so it's his loss not mine.
00:26:32Indeed.
00:26:33So you're feeling better?
00:26:35Much.
00:26:36Permission to be your boyfriend this evening?
00:26:38Permission granted.
00:26:39Well then, let's get this show on the road.
00:26:42I am not surprised Astra didn't show.
00:26:52I mean, she's always been the selfish bitch of the family.
00:27:07Who was that?
00:27:10Dad?
00:27:13It's Ryder Van Woodson!
00:27:19Brian!
00:27:21Ugh, helpless!
00:27:24I'm telling Mom!
00:27:27Brian is looking green with envy.
00:27:29Really?
00:27:30Yeah, I know that look he'll likely-
00:27:32He's coming home.
00:27:33Come over soon.
00:27:35Excuse me. May I steal Astra for a dance?
00:27:39She was my girl first.
00:27:41It's okay. It'll just be a second.
00:27:51You look beautiful.
00:27:53What do you want, Brian?
00:27:55Who's the new guy you're with?
00:27:56Are you trying to make me jealous?
00:27:58Because it's working.
00:28:03Are you serious?
00:28:04Brian, you fucked my stepsister.
00:28:06You don't get to say that to me.
00:28:07I don't know what happened. I was drunk.
00:28:09Of course you were.
00:28:10I never meant for it to happen. I barely remember doing it.
00:28:13Okay, you can spare me the details. Thanks.
00:28:16I'm sorry.
00:28:18I don't know that I can forgive myself, but maybe one day-
00:28:21Brian! Look around!
00:28:23Where do you think that we are?
00:28:27You're right.
00:28:28No, you're right.
00:28:31This is the last time you will ever have access to me.
00:28:35Do you understand that?
00:28:37What the fuck do you think you're doing with my husband, you whore?
00:28:41Gina!
00:28:43You do not get to do this at my wedding.
00:28:45This is my wedding. You do not dance with my husband.
00:28:48I'm so sorry. I forgot to send my congratulations on stealing my fiancé.
00:28:54Congrats, Gina.
00:28:56On a big, big day.
00:28:59Touch her and you'll lose this arm.
00:29:01Roger!
00:29:02Stay away from my girlfriend.
00:29:07Girlfriend?
00:29:09How is that possible?
00:29:11Why the fuck would you date this loser?
00:29:15You dumped her in high school.
00:29:16Hell, you should have dated me back then.
00:29:18I mean, you should have seen how pathetic Astrid was when you left her.
00:29:22She would cry, like, every morning and evening.
00:29:25For hours. For months.
00:29:27Super annoying.
00:29:29Gina, let's get something very clear.
00:29:31You have never been someone worthy of my affections.
00:29:34Now apologize to Astrid.
00:29:38Apologize to her? Never.
00:29:41I hear you have a pretty good standing in the whiskey business.
00:29:44It would be a shame if you suddenly stopped generating clientele.
00:29:47Are you threatening me?
00:29:49Apologize.
00:29:50You're bluffing.
00:29:51Would you like to find out?
00:29:56Would you like to find out?
00:29:57Holy shit. Clyde is an amazing actor.
00:30:00Wait.
00:30:02Please.
00:30:03I mean, I was just joking.
00:30:05I mean, just sisterly banter, right Astrid?
00:30:09Just roughhousing, you know?
00:30:12You're lucky this is all you have to do to repent.
00:30:14Apologize.
00:30:16It's your business.
00:30:17Are you going to do something?
00:30:19We are so, so sorry. Please.
00:30:21Brian!
00:30:22Please forgive my wife for her recklessness.
00:30:24I can't afford to lose a business not with a baby on the way.
00:30:28Do you accept their apology, Astrid?
00:30:30Yeah.
00:30:31Yeah.
00:30:33It's whatever.
00:30:35It's alright.
00:30:40Hey, are you alright?
00:30:42Oh my god, Clyde! You totally had me back there.
00:30:44Where did you learn to act like that?
00:30:46I...
00:30:47Thank you for that.
00:30:48I've never seen Brian and G like...
00:30:50Do you know, I thought you scared the shit out of them.
00:30:52At your service.
00:30:54How about a reward then?
00:30:56What kind of reward?
00:30:58A dance.
00:31:00Just us two.
00:31:01For old time's sake.
00:31:03What?
00:31:04Huh?
00:31:05You said for old time's sake.
00:31:07I, uh...
00:31:09I meant, like, what it's like to dance as a kid.
00:31:12You know, that feeling like you have all the time in the world ahead of you?
00:31:15Sorry if that sounded weird.
00:31:17No, it's okay.
00:31:19Yeah, I'd like that.
00:31:27I danced with a girl like this once.
00:31:29Yeah?
00:31:30Yeah.
00:31:31Who was she?
00:31:33My first love.
00:31:35She was beautiful.
00:31:37She made every day so much brighter.
00:31:39I never found the love like I had with her.
00:31:41What happened?
00:31:43Then I, uh...
00:31:47I broke her heart.
00:31:50And I'm sorry to inform you that...
00:31:53Ryder has agreed to...
00:31:55I'm sorry.
00:31:58Ryder!
00:31:59Ryder!
00:32:05I should've been breaking up with you.
00:32:08Ryder, that's so funny.
00:32:10I mean it.
00:32:12This is our last dance.
00:32:13Let's not see each other again.
00:32:15Sorry, what?
00:32:16What are you...
00:32:18We love each other.
00:32:19What are you talking about?
00:32:20Ryder, just forgive me.
00:32:21I was just...
00:32:22Ryder!
00:32:23Ryder, what are you doing?
00:32:27Why?
00:32:28You broke up with her?
00:32:31Sometimes we don't really have a choice.
00:32:33We leave the ones we love because it's better for them.
00:32:37No.
00:32:38I think you always have a choice.
00:32:40You just have to pick your battles.
00:32:45Ryder Van Watson!
00:32:47It is so good to see you!
00:32:49It has been so long, dear!
00:32:51Ma'am?
00:32:53It's Candace!
00:32:54Remember?
00:32:57You know, I couldn't possibly understand what you see in my stepdaughter.
00:33:02Nothing but death and destruction in her wake.
00:33:05I didn't cause the fire, if that's what you're referring to.
00:33:08Oh, of course not.
00:33:10I mean, you were the only one home, right?
00:33:13Who else could be to blame?
00:33:16It couldn't have been your poor, sickly father, was it?
00:33:20Risked his life to save your worthless ass.
00:33:23Gina, on the other hand, did you know she has experience at the fire academy?
00:33:28She volunteered to put out fires in college.
00:33:32When are you going to stop with the lies?
00:33:34Don't talk back to me!
00:33:36Let's see what happens if you touch my girlfriend.
00:33:41Girlfriend?
00:33:44Yeah, right.
00:33:47I'm sorry.
00:33:48On behalf of my tyrant stepdaughter, her behavior is vehement and out of line.
00:33:54You'll recall, you broke up with her once upon a time.
00:33:58I am sure you will come to those same senses again.
00:34:04You know, I think that you burned the house down with a candle.
00:34:09Please stop!
00:34:10What?
00:34:11You're scared of a little thing like this?
00:34:13Candace, enough.
00:34:15You have always been so quiet and unforgiving of everything I did.
00:34:21Like I'm some evil person.
00:34:24But we both know the real answer.
00:34:27You're the evil that has crept into my life and ruined everything that I've built.
00:34:33I don't hit women, but if you pull that shit again, I will burn your fucking house down.
00:34:39Come on, Astrid. Let's go.
00:34:44Come on.
00:34:54That bitch!
00:34:56She humiliated me.
00:34:58Why does Ryder even want her?
00:35:00We'll fix this.
00:35:01We will take everything from her.
00:35:05Gina, hold off on signing that marriage certificate with Brian.
00:35:11I've got a plan.
00:35:15Wait, you didn't think I could dance?
00:35:17No, I was just pleasantly surprised is all.
00:35:24Well, thank you for tonight.
00:35:30Astrid.
00:35:33Wait, tell me what happened.
00:35:36There, um, there was a fire in my childhood home.
00:35:42And I was still inside when my dad got back.
00:35:47So he, um, risked his life to save mine.
00:35:54And he's been in and out of the hospital with lung failure ever since.
00:36:00That's not your fault.
00:36:05That is not your fault, Astrid.
00:36:11I promise I'll never let anyone hurt you ever again.
00:36:16As long as I live and breathe.
00:36:22You should get some rest.
00:36:25You should get some rest.
00:36:28Yeah.
00:36:30Good night, Clay.
00:36:33Let's make drinks.
00:36:37Gina is a very bright girl.
00:36:40But I don't think she's a great long-term fit for our company.
00:36:44And it's Ryder's wife.
00:36:46No, um, I mean, Gina is a bright girl.
00:36:49She has two daughters.
00:36:51Gina is a bright girl.
00:36:53She has two doctorate degrees.
00:36:55She's volunteered at the local animal shelter.
00:36:58She even had an orphan recently ask if she would adopt her.
00:37:06Well, I'll see what I can do to convince my son.
00:37:09That's wonderful, wonderful.
00:37:11Thank you, Helen.
00:37:14Come, dear.
00:37:22You only get one chance at this,
00:37:24and we are going to make sure you do not mess it up.
00:37:28You are going to give him a bottle of wine
00:37:30and show him the time of his life.
00:37:33You got that?
00:37:35What's in the wine?
00:37:37You are a clever girl, Gina.
00:37:41An aphrodisiac.
00:37:43He won't be able to resist you.
00:37:45You can't fail.
00:37:47Come on, we have to get everything ready.
00:37:49Come on, we have to get everything ready.
00:37:51Come on.
00:38:18You wanted to see me?
00:38:19Yes.
00:38:22All right, spill.
00:38:24I have an interested prospect.
00:38:26You remember Astrid Marie?
00:38:28My ex.
00:38:29You want me to date Astrid?
00:38:31No.
00:38:32Her stepmother contacted me about you dating her daughter.
00:38:35You went to school with her.
00:38:36Her name's...
00:38:37Gina.
00:38:38Yes.
00:38:39Well, she does have a suitable background that would...
00:38:42No.
00:38:43Ryder.
00:38:44I refuse.
00:38:46Ryder.
00:38:47No.
00:38:48We both know you're lucky you made it this far.
00:38:50We can't keep putting these things off.
00:38:56Sounds amazing.
00:38:57I'll be there soon.
00:38:58Okay.
00:38:59Yes.
00:39:00Perfect.
00:39:03Okay.
00:39:05Well, I'm so sorry.
00:39:07Please tell me these are the updated designs that you've been meaning to give me.
00:39:11Yes, I was just on my way to get them to you.
00:39:13Great, well let me see them when you're done fumbling like a fool on the ground.
00:39:21Okay.
00:39:30You really expect us to sell these?
00:39:32No, they're too expensive to make.
00:39:35No one's going to buy them.
00:39:36And, honey, they're ugly.
00:39:39Make more.
00:39:40And if you don't get this right, you will be fired and you will never see another wedding dress
00:39:44for the rest of your useless, worthless, meaningless life.
00:39:47Are we clear?
00:39:48You have until noon tomorrow.
00:39:49I have a meeting with Ryder Van Woodson and I want to show him the latest collection.
00:39:53So can we do that?
00:39:54And make sure that they're cheap.
00:39:56Okay?
00:39:58Great.
00:40:15What happened?
00:40:16Oh, hey, Clyde.
00:40:18My boss didn't like any of my designs, so if I want to keep my job,
00:40:21the same job that's been helping me support my dad,
00:40:23I need to get her an entirely new collection by tomorrow afternoon.
00:40:26These are really good.
00:40:27Really? Thanks.
00:40:29What is she looking for?
00:40:31Modern, sleek, and cheap.
00:40:33I guess that's what the infamous Ryder Van Woodson wants to sell these days.
00:40:37My work is a vendor for his company, so they make and sell the dresses we just designed them.
00:40:43What? Really?
00:40:45Yeah.
00:40:47She's making it work for the big man.
00:40:51My ex is my biggest client.
00:40:54I hope he eats shit.
00:40:58That's fair.
00:41:03Could you be any more last minute? He's already in the building.
00:41:07The printer got the shotgun.
00:41:10I said cheap.
00:41:11I don't know what about a three-tiered skirt and a layered bodice is cheap,
00:41:16but it's fine.
00:41:18We'll make it work. It'll do.
00:41:24You can go.
00:41:25Okay. I still have my job.
00:41:26Yes.
00:41:27Oh.
00:41:28Thank you, dear.
00:41:29You just got me my next promotion.
00:41:33Perfect.
00:41:34All right.
00:41:35I'm only going to be very brief.
00:41:37Perfect.
00:41:38All right.
00:41:39I'm only going to be about 30 minutes max.
00:41:40I want you to take these to the CEO while I'm in my meeting with Fiona.
00:41:43You got it.
00:41:44If he has any questions about the proposal, just tell him I'll be up there shortly.
00:41:48Hey, Mr. Bossman, your cover's about to be blown.
00:42:01Adam!
00:42:02What are you doing here?
00:42:05Clyde?
00:42:06Hi.
00:42:09Um.
00:42:12You know, my boss lent me his car for the day,
00:42:15and I hired Clyde here to drive me to my meeting,
00:42:18which I'm going to go to now.
00:42:21Thanks, Clyde.
00:42:23Have a good meeting.
00:42:24You got another job?
00:42:26Yeah.
00:42:27Just, you know, driving during the day, and I'll bartend at night.
00:42:29A little extra side cash.
00:42:30Oh, that's great.
00:42:31You're busy.
00:42:33For a second, I thought you were right around Winston.
00:42:34He's here today, you know.
00:42:35That'd be crazy if you guys ran into each other.
00:42:37That would be very interesting.
00:42:39I mean, do you think I could pass as a Mr. Ryder Van Woodson?
00:42:42I mean, maybe you could try.
00:42:44Hey, I got to get these to Fiona before she fires me,
00:42:46if it's not like negative 60 seconds, so I'll see you later.
00:42:48But, um, will we marathon tonight?
00:42:51Yeah, that sounds, that sounds great.
00:43:05Mr. Van Woodson.
00:43:08Fiona.
00:43:11Good afternoon, everyone.
00:43:14So, I hear you had some new ideas you wanted to share with me and my company.
00:43:18Yes, I had some new product ideas that I think are going to drive so much in sales,
00:43:22and you'll get 30% off the gross profit.
00:43:24This is a new and sleek collection that I'm debuting this season.
00:43:28I call it God Dress Apparel, like goddess.
00:43:32Yes.
00:43:40These are really good.
00:43:42You designed all of these?
00:43:44Oh, yes, this is all my original work.
00:43:46I worked very hard this quarter, so.
00:43:49Really?
00:43:53Well then, uh, care to explain who Astrid Marie is?
00:43:58Astrid? Yes, of course.
00:44:02Um, uh, that is, um, that's a pen name.
00:44:09A pen name?
00:44:11Yes, Mr. Van Woodson, and you know artists, you use pen names, so.
00:44:14That's, that's that.
00:44:16Well, Fiona Lin.
00:44:19Unfortunately for you, I dated an Astrid Marie once,
00:44:24and I just happen to know that she works at this company under your direct management.
00:44:28So, are you going to give credit where credit is due,
00:44:32or am I going to have to report you for attempted plagiarism?
00:44:44And then my boss just walked out of her meeting, not a glance in my direction,
00:44:47she packed up all of her stuff and left,
00:44:49and then an hour later, I get an email saying that I've offered her position,
00:44:53and that my designs were the top pick for Ryder's company.
00:44:56So you think you're going to take it?
00:44:58I mean, maybe.
00:45:00It's a pay raise, so it's a good deal.
00:45:03Also, I wanted to thank you for being very supportive
00:45:07with all of the explosion of chaos that I dumped on you.
00:45:10I really needed the encouragement, so.
00:45:16You're welcome.
00:45:19I'll get out.
00:45:28How did you know that pink tail was my favorite flower?
00:45:33What flower?
00:45:35The flower that you left yesterday with the note at breakfast.
00:45:40I mean, that wasn't a guess, was it?
00:45:43I just, I saw it and I thought of you.
00:45:48You like pink tulips?
00:45:50I do.
00:45:52Me neither.
00:46:13I love you.
00:46:27Astrid is going to regret messing with us.
00:46:30Definitely.
00:46:32They both are.
00:46:44Hi, Ryder.
00:46:47I have something for you.
00:46:58An apology.
00:47:00An apology?
00:47:02You are going to need to be much more specific while you're in my office,
00:47:06if that's all you have for an apology.
00:47:08Showing your face to me again.
00:47:10I know that I can be a pain sometimes.
00:47:13And I recognize that.
00:47:16And you know, I really don't want to be on bad terms with you, Ryder.
00:47:21So please, if you accept this as a token, just one glass.
00:47:30I'm really sorry.
00:47:32Truly.
00:47:37Is that all?
00:47:39Was there something else you wanted me to say?
00:47:43Yes, I want you to apologize to your sister.
00:47:46She's the one that deserves it.
00:47:49Done.
00:47:54Here's your drink.
00:47:56And I'll go now.
00:48:03I'm really sorry, Ryder.
00:48:09It's okay.
00:48:14Psycho.
00:48:29Actually,
00:48:33there's something else that I wanted to talk to you about.
00:48:37Is it true what you said to me?
00:48:41About not liking me in high school?
00:48:44Yes, I have never had any interest in you.
00:48:47Why?
00:48:49Why are you still here?
00:48:51I guess I just want to understand.
00:48:54What does Astrid have that I don't?
00:48:57Well, she doesn't resort to sabotage or violence to get the things she wants.
00:49:00Now, if you will excuse me.
00:49:02What, so you like sweet and innocent?
00:49:05Why not fun and experienced?
00:49:10Adam, come in here, please.
00:49:12What?
00:49:14So you don't feel anything?
00:49:17Nothing?
00:49:21I feel nothing towards you, Gina.
00:49:24Adam!
00:49:36What was that all about?
00:49:38Nothing good.
00:49:40I'm going to head home for the evening.
00:49:42You feel free to leave early as well.
00:49:48Good night.
00:49:49Good night, Adam.
00:50:06Your stepmother is a piece of work.
00:50:10I find it miraculous that she's trying to blame you for what happened.
00:50:15I know you didn't start that fire.
00:50:21On a lighter note, all of your debt was paid off by a mystery donor.
00:50:25And I got a promotion at work.
00:50:27This is wonderful news, sweetheart.
00:50:29So I think I'm going to have enough to buy us a place soon.
00:50:32I just need to save a little bit more.
00:50:34Sweetheart, don't worry about me.
00:50:36You look out for you first.
00:50:38I am, I have been.
00:50:40And...
00:50:41And?
00:50:43I like someone.
00:50:46His name is Clyde, but we live together.
00:50:48So I feel like it's not practical to have a crush on someone that you live with, right?
00:50:52No, but I could think of worse things to be in trouble over than living with someone you care about.
00:51:00Yeah.
00:51:05Hi. Are you all right?
00:51:07I think... I think Gina drugged me.
00:51:11What?
00:51:13Did she overdose you or are you okay? Do you want me to call someone?
00:51:19It was so beautiful last year.
00:51:21I don't know what to say.
00:51:23I don't know what to say.
00:51:25I don't know what to say.
00:51:27I don't know what to say.
00:51:29I don't know what to say.
00:51:31It was so beautiful last year.
00:51:33I don't know the only thing I can see and the only thing I want to see.
00:51:38Clyde.
00:51:42I want you.
00:51:44I've wanted you for so long.
00:51:46Clyde.
00:51:47I've wanted you for so long.
00:51:49Clyde, how do I help? Who do I call?
00:51:51I'm sorry.
00:51:52I can't thank whatever Gina gave me.
00:51:55I want to kiss you again, but I'm afraid I can't.
00:51:58Okay.
00:52:00Okay.
00:52:02Clyde, I'm going to call an ambulance.
00:52:09How did it go?
00:52:11He wasn't affected by it. One sip should have been enough for it to work.
00:52:14What do you mean? It didn't work?
00:52:15No.
00:52:16So he didn't sleep with you?
00:52:17No, the concoction didn't work.
00:52:18The aphrodisiac.
00:52:19That can't be right.
00:52:21We put plenty of it in.
00:52:23More than plenty.
00:52:25It should have worked just fine.
00:52:28Clyde.
00:52:30Drink.
00:52:31Me?
00:52:32Drink.
00:52:33You drink it.
00:52:34Oh, I am not the one who failed to sleep with Ryder. Now drink it.
00:52:41All of it.
00:52:44Go, go, go.
00:52:47Anything?
00:52:50Oh, God.
00:52:52That's fast.
00:52:58So he was just straight up repulsed by you.
00:53:02Or he has a slow metabolism.
00:53:07I guess the only way to get Astrid out of the picture now is to take her out entirely.
00:53:29Oh, my God.
00:53:33I thought Dana killed you.
00:53:35I'm all right.
00:53:38It was an aphrodisiac.
00:53:40I just had a bad reaction to it because of...
00:53:42My tumor.
00:53:43My metabolism.
00:53:46I'll be completely better by tomorrow. I just need to drink a lot of water and sleep it off.
00:53:50Any changes come back.
00:53:52I'll be completely better by tomorrow. I just need to drink a lot of water and sleep it off.
00:53:56Any changes come back.
00:53:58I'm sorry to scare you.
00:54:03Who are you looking at?
00:54:06You.
00:54:09You waited here all night.
00:54:13Of course I waited. I was worried.
00:54:17All right. Well, let's get you home, then.
00:54:23Oh, my God. You look terrible.
00:54:25I was up all night. Gina drugged me.
00:54:27What?
00:54:28Yeah, she slipped me an aphrodisiac. I was in the hospital.
00:54:31Oh, my God. Are you all right?
00:54:33I mean, it didn't hit me until I was home, thankfully.
00:54:36But it did aggravate the tumor.
00:54:38Oh, my God. Did you file a report? The police need to know about this.
00:54:41What kind of person does that?
00:54:43I did. She'll be in custody by the end of the day.
00:54:46Mom, you have to listen to me right now.
00:54:48Please.
00:54:50Please.
00:54:52No more blind dates.
00:54:54I mean it.
00:54:56Ryder, you being in your condition,
00:54:59you're not capable of having long-lasting love.
00:55:02But we have to do what's right for the business.
00:55:04It's about the business.
00:55:06If you set me up with another woman,
00:55:08I will step down from my position as CEO.
00:55:13Honey, you don't mean that.
00:55:17Don't I?
00:55:19Ryder, we have to find someone suitable to help you run the business.
00:55:24It's a wedding business, okay?
00:55:26We have to show that marriage is a good thing.
00:55:28I know it sounds stupid,
00:55:30but we have to think about the company image.
00:55:33I don't care about the company image, Mom!
00:55:36What about me?
00:55:38What about what I want?
00:55:42What if I want to live alone and spend the rest of my life away from all of this?
00:55:46Give everything to the one woman I've ever loved before I leave.
00:55:48At least then she can get something from all the pain that I've caused her,
00:55:51being what I am.
00:55:53Honey, you are not your condition.
00:56:03I can't even hold memories now.
00:56:08I can't find real love because of this thing that's grinding away at me.
00:56:13You are right.
00:56:16So I'd rather spend the remaining time that I have
00:56:19happy
00:56:21and enjoying myself
00:56:23than spend another second playing pretend with someone I don't even know.
00:56:29Mom,
00:56:32I already have someone.
00:56:36They can't have me,
00:56:38but they are my person.
00:56:41Mom, I would really, really appreciate it
00:56:44if you stop acting like I'm already gone.
00:56:47Because like it or not,
00:56:49I'm still here.
00:57:04Hi, how was your day?
00:57:10Hi.
00:57:22I'm sorry.
00:57:24Why are you hiding from me?
00:57:26That's the only thing I know how to do.
00:57:28It's all I can do. That's the problem.
00:57:33You don't have to hide from me.
00:57:40I'm sorry.
00:58:10This isn't my room.
00:58:12Who is this?
00:58:17This must be her room.
00:58:21Morning.
00:58:23How'd you sleep?
00:58:24I had a one night stand.
00:58:26Good morning.
00:58:28I should...
00:58:31I should probably go now.
00:58:33Okay.
00:58:35Yeah, me too.
00:58:37This first day is my new position.
00:58:40Are these mine?
00:58:42Since when do I own a t-shirt?
00:58:51I'll uh...
00:58:53I'll see ya.
00:58:54Yeah.
00:58:55See you later.
00:59:02Hey Adam, can you come in here please?
00:59:05Good morning Mr. Van Woodson.
00:59:07Good morning Adam.
00:59:09Can you brief me on my day today?
00:59:11You have a meeting
00:59:13with the CEO of Starcast
00:59:15this afternoon.
00:59:17Why are you in a t-shirt?
00:59:27Hey.
00:59:30How you doing?
00:59:37What we talked about last night?
00:59:39Mm-hmm.
00:59:41I'm sorry.
00:59:43I love you
00:59:45and I want you to be happy.
00:59:48You're right.
00:59:50I'm not going to force you to go on any more blind dates.
00:59:53Mm-hmm.
00:59:56Oh, fine.
00:59:58Ryder,
01:00:00are you taking medication?
01:00:02Medication?
01:00:04Oh Lord.
01:00:07You don't remember this morning, do you?
01:00:10Or last night?
01:00:13Honey, you have to take your pills.
01:00:18I don't get it.
01:00:20Well, take them and you will.
01:00:23Okay, so
01:00:25I'm going to check in with you later.
01:00:27Alright?
01:00:28Mm-hmm.
01:00:29Remember, keep taking your pills.
01:00:33Mm-hmm.
01:00:34Alright, I'll see you later.
01:00:52I forgot who Astrid was.
01:01:10Hey Astrid.
01:01:11Hi.
01:01:12You have a meeting tomorrow afternoon.
01:01:13Okay.
01:01:14What's the meeting for?
01:01:17New business relations.
01:01:21Business relations?
01:01:23That's not vague at all.
01:01:25It's a meeting to discuss CMW's acquisition of SCD.
01:01:31Ryder Van Watson is trying to buy us out?
01:01:34Yes.
01:01:36And I have to be there for that meeting?
01:01:39Yes.
01:01:41I just can't believe he's trying to take over the company where I work.
01:01:44Like, this is so typical.
01:01:45Is there anything that Ryder Van Watson can't have?
01:01:48And it's like it's not like I don't have enough going on at work already.
01:01:51God, it's like he's everywhere.
01:01:56I understand that I live with this more buff doppelganger,
01:01:58so he is top of mind for me right now,
01:02:00but still, it's just frustrating.
01:02:05You should talk to him.
01:02:09Why?
01:02:11Why?
01:02:15Well, maybe there's some unresolved feelings there.
01:02:18It'd be good to just talk it out.
01:02:21I guess so.
01:02:23Especially if we're going to be working together.
01:02:27Maybe I'll try to catch him after that business meeting tomorrow.
01:02:30Good.
01:02:31Yeah, that sounds good.
01:02:35There's actually something I've been wanting to talk to you about also.
01:02:40What is it?
01:02:43Well, I kind of wanted to talk about us.
01:02:50I kind of wanted to talk about us.
01:02:55Well, I feel like it's probably obvious already, but
01:02:59I like you.
01:03:05Like, really like you.
01:03:15I really like you too.
01:03:24But I can't.
01:03:29I just, I don't think that it's
01:03:34I just, I don't think that it's
01:03:38I can't have anything serious right now.
01:03:44I'm just not someone you can commit to.
01:03:47I have no long-term potential here.
01:03:54Okay.
01:03:57Understood.
01:03:59I'm sorry, Astra.
01:04:05Friends?
01:04:11How much?
01:04:13Yes, I can pay that.
01:04:15And more in a few weeks.
01:04:20Yes, not that I need to tell you, but
01:04:23be discreet.
01:04:25We don't want anyone to notice when she's suddenly gone.
01:04:30Great!
01:04:32Yes, tomorrow morning would be perfect.
01:04:48You're gonna see Astrid at work.
01:04:51Like, see her.
01:04:55Yeah, we're acquiring the company she works at.
01:04:58So I said, I suggested that she speak to him.
01:05:01Me?
01:05:03When the meeting's finished.
01:05:04It's time that she knows the truth.
01:05:05I can't keep lying to her.
01:05:06It's only gonna hurt her more if I keep doing this.
01:05:08You want her to recognize you?
01:05:12Yeah.
01:05:13I'm just gonna explain why I did what I did.
01:05:17It's time that she knows the truth
01:05:18and we go our separate ways.
01:05:20She'll get everything.
01:05:21My business.
01:05:22All of it.
01:05:24As long as she's taken care of,
01:05:25that's all that matters to me.
01:05:27She's gonna kick your ass.
01:05:31Yeah, she's more than allowed to be angry with me.
01:05:33I can understand that.
01:05:34Well, sayonara, buddy.
01:05:37Whoa, you are coming with me.
01:05:40You're dragging me into this, too?
01:05:43You have your own fessing up to do.
01:05:50Shut the fuck up, bitch!
01:05:52Get off!
01:05:53Ah, you fucking bitch!
01:05:55Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:05:56Adam, stop the car.
01:05:57Stop the car.
01:05:58Hey!
01:05:59Stay away from my girl!
01:06:02Hey, mister, are you okay?
01:06:09Son of a bitch!
01:06:10Get off of me, you fuck!
01:06:12Who are you working for?
01:06:13I'll never tell you!
01:06:14What?
01:06:15Get off!
01:06:16I will, uh...
01:06:17I'll cut off your nether regions.
01:06:19I'm a professional hitman, sonny boy!
01:06:22I'll never tell you a lick!
01:06:24I'll never talk!
01:06:26I'll pay you double.
01:06:28Deal.
01:06:30Is it a woman?
01:06:32Yeah.
01:06:33Candice Bergen Burns or something.
01:06:361850 South.
01:06:37Count, please.
01:06:38Yeah, that's right.
01:06:39That's my stepmom.
01:06:41Wow.
01:06:43Typical.
01:06:47You promised me.
01:06:49One million dollars.
01:06:51Pay up!
01:06:52Yeah, I'll pay you when you get out of prison,
01:06:54which is hopefully never.
01:06:55That's not very unprofessional of you, you twat!
01:06:58Get off of me!
01:06:59Get the hell off of me!
01:07:07Hey, Asher, are you okay?
01:07:09Hey, are you okay?
01:07:11Let's get you home.
01:07:12Adam and I will talk to the police.
01:07:15Clyde?
01:07:16Yeah.
01:07:19You were here for the meeting today?
01:07:21Yeah.
01:07:32Yeah.
01:07:34You lied to me.
01:07:40This whole time?
01:07:41Listen to me.
01:07:42Oh my God!
01:07:43How could I not have seen this?
01:07:45I am so stupid!
01:07:48It was you!
01:07:49Right?
01:07:51You were the one that paid off all my dad's debt.
01:07:56And you were the one that fired Fiona so that I would get promoted?
01:08:01And the flower in the apartment?
01:08:03Was that apartment even yours or was that a lie too?
01:08:05Listen, I was going to explain everything to you.
01:08:07Okay, just spare me any more lies!
01:08:09I trusted you.
01:08:14You're my ex, Ryder.
01:08:16My ex.
01:08:18My ex.
01:08:19You broke my heart.
01:08:21And then you wiggle your way back into my life for what?
01:08:25Some sick, twisted game?
01:08:27Some fantasy that you didn't get to fulfill?
01:08:29No, no.
01:08:30I'm not a toy!
01:08:31Ryder, I'm a person!
01:08:33With feelings!
01:08:34And you don't get to come in here and manipulate me just because you have the power to!
01:08:38Listen, I just wanted you to be happy.
01:08:40That's all I've ever wanted for you, Asher.
01:08:42Yeah, manipulating me and lying behind my back.
01:08:45That was thrilling for me, Ryder.
01:08:47Thank you!
01:08:48No, no.
01:08:49Don't touch me!
01:09:00Dad, she sent hitmen after me.
01:09:03This woman is psychotic!
01:09:05She tried to kill me!
01:09:06And then Ryder showed up, but Clyde is Ryder, which I feel so dumb for not seeing literally the moment that I saw him.
01:09:14And I'm just angry!
01:09:15Like, so angry!
01:09:17And Adam knew this whole time he's been working for Ryder, and he didn't tell me!
01:09:22Wow.
01:09:23That's a lot.
01:09:29Hmm.
01:09:30Yeah.
01:09:32What are you...
01:09:33What are you thinking?
01:09:35How do you feel?
01:09:36I don't know.
01:09:39Confused, I guess?
01:09:42Like, why would Ryder break up with me just to come back into my life under a different name?
01:09:46That makes no sense!
01:09:48Would talking to Adam maybe provide you a little insight, maybe?
01:09:52I guess.
01:09:53But I'm mad at him!
01:09:55He's been working for Ryder this whole time and didn't tell me! He knew!
01:09:59He may have a perfectly sound explanation.
01:10:02But if not, then leave.
01:10:04Find another nice place elsewhere.
01:10:07Yeah, I guess.
01:10:11Thanks, Dad.
01:10:12I think I'm going to come back here tonight if that's okay.
01:10:15I don't think I'll be going home.
01:10:18You're always welcome in my house.
01:10:21Thanks.
01:10:28My wife's sick.
01:10:32Hey, yeah.
01:10:33I was wondering if you could look into something for me, please?
01:10:35Can you look up a Candace Margaret Diane?
01:10:42About your inquiry the other day, Mr. Van Woodson?
01:10:44Mm-hmm.
01:10:45Candace Margaret Diane does not exist.
01:10:47What?
01:10:48But we did find out some other information for you.
01:10:50No, are you serious?
01:10:53Oh.
01:11:06What was I just doing?
01:11:12Um.
01:11:17Hey, Adam, can you come in here, please?
01:11:21Yeah.
01:11:24Can you, uh, can you just brief me on my last few meetings today?
01:11:28Ryder, are you okay?
01:11:30Yeah.
01:11:32I think I'm just a little overworked.
01:11:34Ryder, you just got into the office.
01:11:38I did.
01:11:40Like three in the afternoon.
01:11:42Well, with the thing with Astrid?
01:11:44Astrid?
01:11:47Okay, I think maybe we're going to get you to the doctor.
01:11:49Something's not right with you.
01:11:51No.
01:11:52Hey, Ryder.
01:11:53You got to go to my next meeting now.
01:11:55What?
01:11:57Ryder, what's going on?
01:11:59Ma'am, Ryder's confused.
01:12:00He hasn't remembered any of his morning.
01:12:04It's okay.
01:12:05Let's go to the meeting.
01:12:09Hey.
01:12:11Ryder.
01:12:12Okay, okay.
01:12:13He's having an episode.
01:12:16We need to go to the ER now.
01:12:18Now.
01:12:19Call them now.
01:12:20Hang on.
01:12:21Hang on, honey.
01:12:22It's going to be all right.
01:12:23Okay.
01:12:25Hang on, baby.
01:12:26Hang on.
01:12:28Helen, what's happening to Ryder?
01:12:30He hasn't been taking his medication.
01:12:33Come on.
01:12:35Hurry!
01:12:40Adam?
01:12:42What are you doing here?
01:12:43Astrid.
01:12:44Hey.
01:12:45Did you come back for Ryder?
01:12:47But, no.
01:12:48I was visiting my dad.
01:12:49Is Ryder here?
01:12:51Did he follow me here?
01:12:53Oh.
01:12:54Oh?
01:12:56Oh, Adam?
01:12:57I need answers from you.
01:12:58Why is Ryder at the hospital?
01:13:00Astrid, he didn't...
01:13:03Okay, so what's going on?
01:13:09Ryder's been put in a medically induced coma.
01:13:11He's going into surgery.
01:13:14What?
01:13:15Why?
01:13:23He has a brain tumor, Astrid.
01:13:31We didn't realize that until he was about to graduate high school.
01:13:34Around the same time that you two broke up.
01:13:37But, his brain functioning has been affecting him since he was 13 years old.
01:13:44Memory loss, headaches, confusion, slow metabolism, medication problems, seizures.
01:13:52It's just been...
01:13:54It's been awful.
01:13:56Oh, my God.
01:13:57Oh, my God.
01:13:59So, that's why?
01:14:01He had a brain tumor?
01:14:05He hasn't been capable of ending long-term relationships.
01:14:11But...
01:14:16He loved you, Astrid.
01:14:20He still does.
01:14:23Will you wait for me?
01:14:26Will you wait until he wakes up?
01:14:29Yeah.
01:14:30When or if he wakes up?
01:14:35I'm sure he would love to see you.
01:14:38Yeah.
01:14:40Yeah, I'll be right here.
01:14:41Okay.
01:14:45Thank you so much for being here.
01:14:47Of course.
01:14:53I'm sorry, Red.
01:14:56For not telling you about Ryder.
01:14:59About him pretending to be Clyde and trying to get close to you.
01:15:04I was the one that instigated the roommate living situation.
01:15:11Fuck you, Adam.
01:15:14You should have told me.
01:15:17Do you know why he did it?
01:15:20Why you lied?
01:15:21I don't understand why you didn't just tell me.
01:15:23I could give you my best guess, but...
01:15:27I don't have the answer to that, either.
01:15:33You'll have to ask me.
01:15:36I don't know.
01:15:38I don't know.
01:15:40I don't know.
01:15:42I don't know.
01:15:44I don't know.
01:15:46Ask him when he's out of surgery.
01:15:50If he's out of surgery.
01:15:52When.
01:15:56Have faith.
01:16:05He needed a surgery.
01:16:10Ryder.
01:16:12Honey, it's Mommy.
01:16:15It's Mommy, I'm here.
01:16:18I don't think I really believed it until right now.
01:16:30I'm so sorry.
01:16:32For being so angry at you.
01:16:37I don't understand why you lied to me, but at this point it really doesn't matter.
01:16:44Just please come back.
01:16:48Ryder.
01:17:01I think I'm going to see my dad.
01:17:03Really quick, he's just down the hall.
01:17:05Will you call me if you need anything?
01:17:07Okay, sweetheart.
01:17:09Thanks for being here.
01:17:10Of course.
01:17:14Bye.
01:17:38Good.
01:17:40Ha ha ha.
01:17:42You're finally awake.
01:17:45What do you want?
01:17:47God, you're useless.
01:17:49You're just a waste of space.
01:17:53I've been trying to tell you for years to stay out of my way.
01:17:59And what do you consistently do?
01:18:01You get in my way.
01:18:03Wait.
01:18:04You got Gina, my only chance at Ryder's fortune, injuring my family in jail.
01:18:15It was you.
01:18:17You were the one that started the fire.
01:18:22Hey.
01:18:24You want to go get something to eat?
01:18:27Okay.
01:18:34How is your boyfriend doing?
01:18:37I hear he has a little issue with his brain.
01:18:41A pesky little tumor, right?
01:18:44How did you know that?
01:18:45I have friends.
01:18:46Sure would be a shame if someone were to leak that the grand billionaire CEO of Van Woodson Fortune
01:18:52has been sick this entire time.
01:18:55Oh, what would that do to his business?
01:18:58What do you want?
01:19:01I get what I've always wanted.
01:19:03What you and your father could never give me.
01:19:07As much as I forced you both.
01:19:10Forced us?
01:19:11Ha!
01:19:13Who do you think introduced you to Ryder, sweetheart?
01:19:18That wasn't a chance meeting.
01:19:19I orchestrated it.
01:19:21Hoping you'd be the first to know.
01:19:23Sweetheart.
01:19:24That wasn't a chance meeting.
01:19:26I orchestrated it.
01:19:27Hoping that you or Gina would be smart enough to latch on to him.
01:19:32And all you had to do was keep him around.
01:19:35But you were so worthless he couldn't even stand to stay with you.
01:19:40But something changed.
01:19:42He came back to you.
01:19:44My luck changed.
01:19:46You've been after Ryder's business this whole time?
01:19:49I know potential when I see it.
01:19:51And you don't have it.
01:19:53So you set my house on fire to kill me?
01:19:57I always get what I want, don't I?
01:20:00Now, you are going to marry Ryder and give me the business shares.
01:20:07Or his business goes up in flames.
01:20:12Because if I can't have it, no one can.
01:20:22Ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:20:24The nurses, they know what they're doing.
01:20:26They know what they're doing.
01:20:27They'll give him what he needs.
01:20:29What the fuck?
01:20:32You're a psycho!
01:20:34And you're dead.
01:20:38So what's it gonna be?
01:20:40Dear daughter.
01:20:44This should be an easy decision.
01:20:46You get to spend your life with the man of your dreams.
01:20:51Well, until he dies of cancer.
01:20:56Give me the money and the revenue.
01:21:00Or you die the way you were supposed to anyway.
01:21:05No.
01:21:08No.
01:21:10No!
01:21:11I would rather die than betray Ryder.
01:21:15He doesn't deserve it.
01:21:16I won't let you.
01:21:17Aargh!
01:21:18Aargh!
01:21:19Are you okay?
01:21:20Yeah?
01:21:23What the fuck?
01:21:26Why are you here?
01:21:27Phyllis Gray, you are wanted for murder and now attempted murder.
01:21:30How did you?
01:21:31I put the pieces together when you threatened Astrid at Gina's wedding.
01:21:34I hired a PI to look into you.
01:21:35That's your real name, isn't it?
01:21:36You're a sick woman jumping from family to family, destroying them from the inside out, just to get a little side cash.
01:21:41Huh?
01:21:42You have quite the record of fires starting in your homes.
01:21:44I did what I had to.
01:21:46To survive.
01:21:47It's me and Gina against the world.
01:21:50What's a mother to do?
01:21:53I should have just killed you when you were young and I had the chance.
01:21:57You know, when you married my dad, I really thought we were going to be a family.
01:22:02Now I know how wrong I was.
01:22:07Wait.
01:22:08Wait, no, no.
01:22:10We can come to some sort of an agreement.
01:22:12We don't ever have to see one another again.
01:22:15Please.
01:22:16Have fun in jail.
01:22:21Oh no!
01:22:28Ryder, we are ready for your surgery.
01:22:39See you guys on the other side, huh?
01:22:44I love you.
01:22:46I love you too.
01:22:49I'll see you guys soon.
01:22:51But I need a moment to talk with Astrid.
01:23:01We can talk when your surgery's over.
01:23:05You know I might not make it back.
01:23:08I'm sorry.
01:23:09I owe you an explanation.
01:23:12I broke up with you because I didn't want you to be with a man who's going to be sick.
01:23:19Someone who would forget things half the time.
01:23:21Someone you'd have to support and take care of.
01:23:23Someone who would slowly lose themselves.
01:23:25I just...
01:23:28I didn't want that for you, Astrid.
01:23:33Then I saw you again and I thought, you know, one conversation can't hurt.
01:23:37One more chance to help you fight and feel better.
01:23:43One more chance to hear your voice.
01:23:46At least to be around you.
01:23:53And then I heard about you needing a place to stay in your financial struggles and I thought...
01:24:02I just...
01:24:04Well, if I could help you, I still can.
01:24:07Maybe that way I could be with you.
01:24:10Without actually being with you.
01:24:15Then if I died, if this disease took me, at the very least I could die happy knowing that you were taken care of.
01:24:23Then I could just spend my last few days with you.
01:24:28I know it was selfish of me.
01:24:30I know it was selfish of me.
01:24:34But I don't regret it.
01:24:38Every second with you is giving me one more chance to hold on a little longer.
01:24:44You're not going anywhere.
01:24:48Astrid...
01:24:52I've never loved anyone else.
01:24:55And you are it.
01:24:57And I'm so sorry for lying to you.
01:25:00I am.
01:25:05But I don't regret it.
01:25:08Not one second.
01:25:10I'd do it all over again.
01:25:20I'm so sorry.
01:25:22I love you.
01:25:30I love you.
01:25:37I love you, sweetheart.
01:25:39I love you too, Dad.
01:25:51I wish Ryder were here to see it.
01:25:54Who said I wasn't coming?
01:25:56Ryder! What are you doing here?
01:25:57I don't want to miss this for the world, business trippy Dan.
01:26:01I was actually wondering if I could steal her for a little bit.
01:26:04Sure, sure. Don't let me get in your way.
01:26:06I have something to show you out back.
01:26:13Astrid, there's not been a single day since I've met you that I've not thought about you.
01:26:19My love and adoration for you continues to be a shining light I hope I will always be able to see.
01:26:25Astrid, meeting you has been nothing short of divine, destiny, fate.
01:26:34Ryder, I wish upon a star it would be you that I see looking back at me.
01:26:38Astrid.
01:26:42Will you marry me?
01:26:44Yes!
