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