00:00Just as I got up, I found myself facing Eric.
00:04What are you doing here? Isn't the meeting going on?
00:07Nope. That's just what I told you.
00:09I sent everyone home and was now waiting for you to steal the painting and run away with it.
00:13What?
00:14After the painting was stolen from the museum, the FBI contacted me to help them catch the guy they suspected was after it.
00:20Does the name Pierre Soufflé ring a bell?
00:23Nope. Never heard of him.
00:24What a dumb name.
00:25They told me he would probably strike again.
00:27I really didn't suspect you until one of my brothers said something about you looking like a girl we once met in Connecticut.
00:33Who had a twin.
00:34I just couldn't shake that off and wondered if you were hiding something.
00:39I had the FBI look into you and most of your information checked out.
00:43But then they told me that they'd seen the suspected art thief in a girl your age leave your apartment a few times.
00:48Okay, so let me get this straight.
00:50Tonight was a trap?
00:51How could you trick me?
00:53Hello?
00:54Should I get a mirror for you?
00:56You've been tricking me from the very start.
00:58That's different.
00:59Only if different means exactly the same.
01:02You'd really send me to jail?
01:04You'd really walk away with that painting?
01:06Eric, I have to do this. I don't have a choice. It's to protect everyone I love from Pierre.
01:12And I'm guessing that list doesn't include me, does it?
01:16As we stared breathlessly at each other, suddenly Pierre's van stopped beside us.
01:20Good lord, get a room.
01:22And before I knew it, his men had grabbed both me and Eric and put some rags on our faces.
01:27And I instantly drifted into unconsciousness.
01:30When we came about, Eric and I found ourselves tied to chairs on some boat.
01:34Ah, the sleeping beauties are awake, just in time for me to say goodbye.
01:38You're not getting away with this.
01:40Oh, yes I am. It's not like you were smart enough to call the police to your house when you caught Claire.
01:45Yeah, that's her real name.
01:47You didn't call the police? What was your plan then?
01:50My guess is he was just going to take the painting from you and give you a chance to run away.
01:56I think he even gave his own security men the night off.
01:59Why would you do that, Eric?
02:01Because he wasn't going to send the girl he loves to prison, duh.
02:05Eric sat there poker-faced as I glanced at him.
02:08Pierre, you got what you wanted. Now keep your end of the deal. Pay up and let us go.
02:12Your sister double-crossed me first, which landed you in this mess, remember?
02:17I think I'll do the same.
02:19Why is there water coming in the boat?
02:21Oh, that's because it's got oils everywhere. It's going to sink soon.
02:25You two should make up and forgive each other, because life's too short to be angry.
02:30I mean, literally. Your life is really short. I'd say about another 30 minutes.
02:35Adieu. So long. Farewell.
02:37And with that, Pierre and his goons left.
02:40There has to be some way out.
02:42Don't you know how to get out of such situations after all your years as a criminal?
02:46I'm a con woman. I don't know how to trick my way out of these ropes.
02:50Great. Then I'll just die here with you of all people.
02:53Who would you rather die with?
02:55Maybe that really pretty, extra-smiley waitress at the restaurant you love so much?
02:59You know what? Let's just not talk.
03:01Fine by me.
03:02We sat silently for a few minutes as the water kept seeping in.
03:05I've never had boba tea.
03:07What?
03:08You know, a few years ago, everyone really got into boba tea, and I never had boba tea.
03:13I always thought I had time to drink boba tea, and now I'll never drink boba tea.
03:17It's nothing special. You didn't miss much.
03:20You really mean it?
03:21Nah. It's amazing.
03:23Who is stopping you from trying boba tea?
03:25No one.
03:26You're the worst. Let's go back to not talking.
03:29As we sat there in silence again, I slipped my fingers through Eric's.
03:33Eric, I'm so sorry for getting you into this. I really wish I'd never crossed your path.
03:38He pushed my hand away.
03:39For the first time today, I agree with you.
03:42Just then, the door burst open, and Meredith came running in.
03:45Thank God, Em. I knew you'd come for me.
03:48You could have told me, too. I would have panicked less.
03:51Hi, Eric. Remember me? We kissed once.
03:54We'll talk more later. Gotta go now.
03:56Meredith cut through our ropes quickly, and we splashed through the water, climbed onto the paddleboat outside, and rowed back to shore.
04:02I had a feeling Pierre was up to no good.
04:05I followed his van to Eric's house and saw him take you two and bring you here.
04:08I had to wait for him to leave before I could rescue you, and that jerk left without giving us a dime.
04:13We have to get that painting back. He can't get away with it.
04:16What is so special about that stupid painting? Why is it for ten million dollars?
04:21Apparently, it's worth much more.
04:23My grandmother bought it at some auction a few years ago, but I don't think she ever knew its real worth.
04:27The FBI told me that painting has hidden codes all over it.
04:32Sensitive government secrets and coordinates of underground facilities.
04:35And Pierre wants to sell those secrets to the highest bidder.
04:38Jeez. Trust stupid men to make everything so complicated.
04:43Who put codes in a painting? Who wants them now? What is wrong with everybody?
04:47All I ever wanted from life was to go to Bora Bora, and now we have no money!
04:52If you girls know anything about where he's going, help me catch him.
04:55I'll tell the FBI you were helping me all along, and you'll go scot-free.
04:59Free but poor?
05:00Should I offer you a reward for helping me get back a painting you stole from me?
05:04That would be polite, yeah.
05:06Meredith, do you have any idea where Pierre's going?
05:09Yeah, yeah. I've bugged everything that man owns.
05:12His phone, his coat, his shoes, that painting. I know where he's going.
05:16Oh, by the way, Mom wants us to come home. She says she has something important to tell us.
05:20And yeah, her memory is back, and she's very angry we made her marry Arthur.
05:24What?!
05:25More about that later.
05:26Eric immediately got in touch with his FBI contacts,
05:29who picked us up from our spot and followed Meredith's trackers on Pierre.
05:33He was headed for a train at the Grand Central Station,
05:35and seconds before he was about to get onto his ride, he was surrounded by officers.
05:40Don't manhandle me, you orangutans!
05:42My outfit costs more than your yearly salary!
05:45I rue the day I ever laid eyes on you two!
05:48I'll make sure I take you down with me!
05:51I'm taking all your coats, Pierre. They fit me perfectly, you tiny mafia boss.
05:56Get used to an orange jumpsuit, because you'll be wearing that for a long time.
06:00As the FBI officers took him away, I turned to Eric with a worried face.
06:04He'll give them information against us.
06:06You've helped recover a really important painting
06:08and capture a criminal the FBI has been trying to nail for ages.
06:11I promise, I won't let you get into any trouble.
06:14Thank you. We stood there in awkward silence.
06:18Okay, this is super uncomfortable.
06:21Do you guys need privacy to talk or something?
06:24I'll grab us some hot dogs. Do you want relish or mustard or...
06:27No, actually, I think we're done here. I have to go.
06:30Good luck and goodbye, Chris, uh, Claire.
06:34Goodbye, Eric.
06:36Meredith and I took the next flight to Connecticut to see Mom back at her old house,
06:41and I was really happy to see her with her memory back.
06:43And then, Mom shocked us with her whole story.
06:46Many years ago, I was a government scientist in Russia,
06:50working on top-secret technology,
06:52and our team leader wanted to sell it to an enemy country.
06:56I refused to do that and destroyed the technology.
06:59And after that, I had to go on the run,
07:01because I knew those traitors would come after me.
07:03I had a boyfriend, and he recently found out I was pregnant.
07:07So I never told him about you girls and just escaped.
07:10I settled in America and took on the identity of a helpless mom living in the suburbs.
07:15Before I left Russia, I set up this laptop as a way to communicate with my father,
07:20who sent me a little money every few months to get by.
07:23I was even afraid of working in any place for too long,
07:26as being part of any system by which I could be tracked down.
07:29Whoa! Mom, that's insane! And so cool!
07:33I'm sorry we never had much, but I was glad you grew up independent and resourceful.
07:38Then I finally recovered my memory a week ago.
07:41I was able to access the laptop and get in touch with my father.
07:44He hadn't heard from me in so long, he thought I wasn't even alive anymore.
07:49He told me that the traitors working on the project are all behind bars now.
07:53It's safe for me to go home.
07:55So we're going to Russia?
07:57Man, it's so cold there! I always wanted to go to...
08:01Bora, Bora, I know. That's all you said growing up.
08:05We'll visit Russia to see my family.
08:07And then we'll go anywhere you girls want.
08:10Mom, we're kinda poor. Especially since you've left Arthur too.
08:14Oh, but my family isn't poor at all. I come from all the money. We've been rich forever.
08:20There is a God out there! Thank you, thank you! Claire, we're finally going to Bora, Bora!
08:26Yeah, it's everything we ever wanted.
08:30I tried to be as excited about the trip as Mom and Meredith, but my heart felt heavy.
08:34I wish things had ended with Eric on a better note.
08:37On the bright side, I got to meet Freddy.
08:39And I was so pleased when he introduced me to his lovely girlfriend.
08:43I'm so happy for you, Freddy. And I don't know if I can ever thank you for everything. You're amazing.
08:48I know. Just don't forget about me and come to visit, okay?
08:53On the day of our flight to Russia, we'd just reached the airport
08:56when Mom and Meredith turned to me with strange smiles on their faces.
09:00Uh, what's going on?
09:02Here's your ticket.
09:04That's a ticket for New York. Why, are we going there?
09:06No. Mom and I are going to Russia, then Bora, Bora. You're going to New York.
09:11What? Why would I do that?
09:13Come on, Claire. You've been so mopey lately, I can't stand your face anymore.
09:17Just go talk to Eric, okay? You're in love with him.
09:21And even though he's way out of your league, he loves you too.
09:24And that's something you shouldn't give up on so easily.
09:27Pretty sure he hates me now.
09:29Claire, go meet him once. You'll regret not trying.
09:33And in case it doesn't work out, you know where to find his love.
09:36Go get him, loser.
09:38Mom and Meredith hugged me, and I felt tears flowing down my face fast as I turned away.
09:43Suddenly, I got the wind knocked out of me as Meredith gave me a bear hug.
09:47I can't say this with you looking at me directly, so don't turn around, okay?
09:51I love you more than anyone in the world, sis.
09:54You're my BFF and my soulmate and my better half,
09:57so you better not stay away too long because of some stupid boy.
10:01No one's ever coming between us, Em.
10:04I love you too, and I'll see you soon.
10:06As I walked out onto the New York airport, I was feeling so nervous about visiting Eric
10:10that I accidentally bumped into a man's luggage cart and went down with the suitcases.
10:15Are you blind? You blind idiot.
10:17It was an accident, sir. You don't have to be so rude.
10:20You don't have to be so blind, you blind idiot.
10:23You're so obnoxious.
10:25I grabbed the bagel the man was holding, threw it on the floor, and started jumping on it.
10:29As I continued jumping and he kept yelling, I suddenly found Eric by my side.
10:34I'm sorry, sir. She hasn't taken her meds today. So sorry.
10:38Geez, what's with your temper?
10:40He started it, and what are you doing here?
10:43You texted me that you were coming and wanted me to pick you up.
10:46You said it was an emergency? Oh, I'm guessing that was Meredith.
10:50Yep, but I did come to New York just to see you, Eric.
10:54So I might as well say my piece now, which I've been rehearsing on the plane
10:58and I've forgotten every single word. Dang it.
11:01Okay, okay, I'll just spit it out.
11:03Look, I'm really sorry about the tricking and the lying and stealing
11:07and hitting your brother and endangering your life.
11:10The one thing that wasn't part of this assignment was falling for you,
11:13but I just couldn't help it right from the start.
11:16In fact, you made me fall for you years ago, and I often wondered what had happened to you.
11:21I really wish we'd met again under different circumstances.
11:24And I know I don't deserve another chance, but here I am, asking for one anyway.
11:29Well, they say third time's the charm.
11:32They do say that, whoever they are.
11:35Just as Eric pulled me closer, we suddenly found ourselves surrounded by federal agents.
11:40Did you set me up?
11:41I swear I didn't.
11:43Ma'am, there's no need to panic.
11:45We got notified about your arrival in New York when you checked in for your flight.
11:48We've also apprehended your sister before she could leave for Russia.
11:51We've been looking for you girls for a long time, actually, but you always managed to get away.
11:55Now we have a deal for you.
11:56Come work for us and help us nail some con artists, and you'll have a clean slate.
12:00Are you offering me a job?
12:02Yes, and a really well-paying one.
12:04The only catch is that you two will have to serve six months jail time first.
12:07We have to do that as a formality.
12:09No, officer, there has to be another way.
12:11Eric, wait, it's okay.
12:13I think I need to do this, actually.
12:15Maybe we got away for too long without any consequences.
12:18If this gives me a chance to start over fresh, I'm willing to do it.
12:21What about Meredith?
12:22Oh, she's gonna be pissed, but she'll do it for me.
12:25So, will you come see me in prison?
12:29That's a date.
12:33How many weeks has it been here already?
12:35It's just been two days.
12:37Oh, God, I was so close to Bora Bora.
12:41And you're so ugly and orange.
12:43How am I supposed to look at you for six months?
12:45I think you're actually happy we're getting to spend more time together.
12:48You know, since I'm your BFF and soulmate and better half.
12:54That was so cheesy.
12:56Ow!
