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...
00:18:25What's wrong?
00:18:29Can you...
00:18:30I love you.
00:18:33Are you okay?
00:18:35I'm fine.
00:18:36I'm fine.
00:18:37I'm fine.
00:18:39I'm fine.
00:18:40I'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.
00:18:47Are you okay?
00:18:49Sorry.
00:18:51No, don't be sorry. Are you okay?
00:18:53Come 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.
00:19:17Okay.
00:19:23Um...
00:19:25I do have to ask you something.
00:19:27Yeah, sure. Ask away.
00:19:29I might have told
00:19:31my stepmom and stepsister
00:19:33that I was going to the wedding with Ryder Ann Woodson.
00:19:35I showed them that selfie
00:19:37that I took with you.
00:19:39You don't have to,
00:19:41but if you'd be willing to go
00:19:43and pretend to be Ryder Ann Woodson...
00:19:47Sure.
00:19:49Really?
00:19:51You would do that?
00:19:53I mean, I don't see why not.
00:19:55Free food and drinks, right?
00:19:57Yeah, I mean, I've been planning for it to be an open bar.
00:19:59Good.
00:20:01Then you're going to have to brief me
00:20:03on 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...
00:20:15Yeah, we had a...
00:20:17a 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,
00:20:27but...
00:20:29I 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
00:20:39showing up as myself.
00:20:46What are you here for this time?
00:20:48Yes, well,
00:20:50I 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.
00:21:15I'll pay you extra for it.
00:21:17Wait.
00:21:19Here.
00:21:21Got just what you need.
00:21:27You stupid old man.
00:21:29You sh...
00:21:31Your daughter wasn't worth saving.
00:21:33You should have just let her burn.
00:21:35We could have collected the insurance money
00:21:37and run off together.
00:21:39But you had to be
00:21:41the stubborn hero, didn't you?
00:21:43You've lost all your money
00:21:45to medical bills.
00:21:59Yeah, what's up?
00:22:01The doctor you wanted me to look into?
00:22:03Yeah.
00:22:05Turns out, Dr. Daniel Evans
00:22:07has no background as a medical care
00:22:09professional.
00:22:11In fact,
00:22:13he 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,
00:22:31are you joining me or not?
00:22:35Yeah.
00:22:41Dr. Daniel Evans?
00:22:47Dr. Daniel Evans?
00:22:49Can I help you?
00:22:51Yeah.
00:22:53I haven't seen you in a while.
00:22:57Hello, darling.
00:22:59Do you need some break?
00:23:05You're the bastard that's been
00:23:07smoking outside the room with a man
00:23:09for a lung failure.
00:23:13Yo.
00:23:15What the fuck?
00:23:17Who the fuck do you think you are?
00:23:19Termination papers.
00:23:21You'll be serving jail time for perpetuating
00:23:23patient symptoms under reckless behavior
00:23:25while within the hospital walls.
00:23:27You're also going to be charged with selling
00:23:29the hospital's narcotics.
00:23:31The police are outside waiting to escort you.
00:23:33I'm Ryder Van Woodson.
00:23:35Good luck selling drugs
00:23:37in jail, bitch.
00:23:41Thank you so much.
00:23:43Okay, you too.
00:23:47Coming!
00:23:49What's up?
00:23:51The hospital that my dad is admitted to just called and said that
00:23:53all of my bills have been paid off by a mystery donor
00:23:55and he's being transferred to a better care unit
00:23:57free of charging cost.
00:23:59That is awesome news.
00:24:01I feel like I can
00:24:03breathe now.
00:24:05This is like the most relief I've felt in a decade.
00:24:07And now,
00:24:09now I can start planning to
00:24:11buy him a house.
00:24:13You want to buy him a house?
00:24:15Yeah, well, I mean, that's the plan. We'll see.
00:24:17I don't earn enough right now to do that.
00:24:19Ow!
00:24:21Oh my goodness, okay.
00:24:25You alright?
00:24:27You know, you'd make a pretty good doctor.
00:24:29Yeah, right.
00:24:31I think I have a great
00:24:33understanding on how to...
00:24:35Oh, is that so?
00:24:39Are you, um, ready
00:24:41for the wedding later?
00:24:43Uh...
00:24:45Your wedding.
00:24:47What wedding?
00:24:49Uh, wedding.
00:24:51Yeah,
00:24:53what wedding?
00:24:55Oh, the one
00:24:57that I invited you to to pretend
00:24:59to be Ryder and Woodson.
00:25:01Yeah, yeah, that wedding.
00:25:03Yeah, of course, uh, when are we leaving?
00:25:05Seven-ish.
00:25:07Are you okay? If you don't want to go, we don't have to.
00:25:09No, I said we're gonna go,
00:25:11so we're gonna go. I'm just, uh,
00:25:13I'm gonna lay down for a second first.
00:25:15Okay.
00:25:25Maybe this was a mistake.
00:25:29She's going to find out who I am
00:25:31if my memory issues continue.
00:25:35And it's not like I can remember
00:25:37what I can't remember.
00:25:39I don't remember the wedding
00:25:41at all.
00:25:43Yeah, that doesn't matter.
00:25:45But what if I lose my memories of her?
00:25:51Ready when you are.
00:25:53One sec.
00:25:55We're gonna 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 afterparty.
00:26:13Wow. What? Is it too much?
00:26:15My friend let me borrow the dress.
00:26:17Well, actually, she made it for me. She said it was an early birthday gift.
00:26:19But my birthday's not for, like, six months.
00:26:21You look
00:26:23stunning.
00:26:25Brian's gonna rethink all of his life decisions.
00:26:27Thought leaving you was the worst thing he could have ever done.
00:26:29Yeah, well, he cheated on me, so
00:26:31it's his loss not mine. Indeed.
00:26:33So you feeling better?
00:26:35Much. Permission to be your boyfriend
00:26:37this evening? Permission granted.
00:26:39Well, then, let's get this
00:26:41show on the road.
00:26:49I am not surprised Astra
00:26:51didn't show. I mean, she's
00:26:53always been the selfish bitch of the family.
00:27:07Who was that?
00:27:09Was that...
00:27:13It's Ryder Ben
00:27:15Woodson!
00:27:19Brian!
00:27:21Ugh! Helpless!
00:27:23I'm telling Mom!
00:27:27Brian is looking green
00:27:29with envy. Really? Yeah.
00:27:31I know that look he'll like. He's coming over.
00:27:33Come over soon.
00:27:35Excuse me.
00:27:37May I steal Astra for a dance?
00:27:39She was my girl first.
00:27:41It's okay. 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?
00:27:57Are you trying to make me jealous?
00:27:59Because it's working.
00:28:03Are you serious?
00:28:05Brian, you fucked my stepsister.
00:28:07You don't get to say that to me. I don't know what happened.
00:28:09I was drunk. Of course you were.
00:28:11I never meant for it to happen. I barely remember doing it.
00:28:13Okay. You can spare me the details.
00:28:15Thanks. I'm sorry.
00:28:17I don't know that I can forgive myself,
00:28:19but maybe one day...
00:28:21Brian! Look around!
00:28:23Where do you think that we are?
00:28:27You're right.
00:28:29No, you're right.
00:28:31This is the last time you will ever
00:28:33have access to me.
00:28:35Do you understand that?
00:28:37What the fuck do you
00:28:39think 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.
00:28:47You do not dance with my husband.
00:28:49I'm so sorry. I forgot
00:28:51to send my congratulations on stealing my fiancé.
00:28:55Congrats, Gina.
00:28:57On a big, big day.
00:28:59Touch her
00:29:01and you'll lose this arm.
00:29:03Stay away from my girlfriend.
00:29:07Girlfriend?
00:29:09How is that possible?
00:29:11Why the fuck
00:29:13would you date this loser?
00:29:15You dumped her in high school.
00:29:17Hell, you should have dated me back then.
00:29:19I mean, you should have seen how pathetic
00:29:21Astrid was when you left her.
00:29:23She would cry like every
00:29:25morning and evening. For hours.
00:29:27For months. Super annoying.
00:29:29Gina, let's get something
00:29:31very clear. You have never been
00:29:33someone worthy of my affections. Now apologize
00:29:35to Astrid.
00:29:37Apologize
00:29:39to her? Never.
00:29:41I hear you have a pretty good standing in the whiskey
00:29:43business. It would be a shame if you suddenly
00:29:45stopped generating clientele.
00:29:47Are you threatening me?
00:29:49Apologize.
00:29:51You're bluffing. Would you like to find out?
00:29:55Would you like to find out?
00:29:57Holy shit.
00:29:59Clyde is an amazing actor.
00:30:01Wait. Please.
00:30:03I mean,
00:30:05I was just joking. I mean,
00:30:07sisterly banter, right, Astrid?
00:30:09Just rough housing.
00:30:11You know?
00:30:13You're lucky this is all you have to do to repent.
00:30:15Apologize.
00:30:17It's your business. Are you going to do something?
00:30:19We are so, so sorry.
00:30:21Please. Brian!
00:30:23Please forgive my wife for her recklessness.
00:30:25I can't afford to lose the business, not with a baby on the way.
00:30:27Do you accept
00:30:29their apology, Astrid?
00:30:31Yeah.
00:30:33It's whatever.
00:30:35It's gotta hurt.
00:30:41Hey. Are you alright?
00:30:43Oh my god, Clyde! You totally had it back there.
00:30:45Where did you learn to act like that?
00:30:47Thank you for that.
00:30:49I've never seen Brian and G like,
00:30:51you know, you scared the shit out of them.
00:30:53At your service.
00:30:55How about a reward, then?
00:30:57What kind of reward?
00:30:59A dance.
00:31:01Just us two. For old times' sake.
00:31:03What?
00:31:05Huh?
00:31:07You said, for old times' sake.
00:31:09I meant, like, what it's like
00:31:11to dance as a kid. You know, that feeling
00:31:13like 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? Yeah.
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?
00:31:43That I, um...
00:31:47I broke her heart.
00:31:51And I'm sorry to inform you that
00:31:53Ryder has agreed to...
00:31:57Ryder!
00:31:59Ryder!
00:32:01I'm sorry.
00:32:05I should've been breaking up with you.
00:32:07I know. That's so funny.
00:32:09I mean,
00:32:11this is our last dance.
00:32:13Let's not see each other again.
00:32:15Sorry, what?
00:32:17We love each other. What are you talking about?
00:32:19I know. Just forgive me, Esther.
00:32:21Ryder!
00:32:23Ryder! What are you doing?
00:32:27Why? You broke up with her?
00:32:31Sometimes we don't really have a choice.
00:32:33We leave the ones we love
00:32:35because it's better for them.
00:32:37No.
00:32:39I think you always have a choice.
00:32:41You just have to pick your battles.
00:32:45Ryder Van Woodson!
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. Remember?
00:32:57You know,
00:32:59I don't possibly understand what you see in my stepdaughter.
00:33:01Nothing but
00:33:03death and destruction in her wake.
00:33:05I didn't cause the fire,
00:33:07if that's what you're referring to.
00:33:09Oh, of course not.
00:33:11I mean, you were the only one home, right?
00:33:13Who else could be to blame?
00:33:15It couldn't have been
00:33:17your poor, sickly father,
00:33:19was it?
00:33:21Risked his life to save your worthless ass.
00:33:23Gina, on the other hand,
00:33:25did you know she has experience
00:33:27at the fire academy?
00:33:29She volunteered to put out fires in college.
00:33:31When are you going to
00:33:33stop the lies?
00:33:35Don't talk back to me!
00:33:37Let's see what happens if you touch my girlfriend.
00:33:41Girlfriend?
00:33:43Yeah, right.
00:33:47I'm sorry.
00:33:49On behalf of my tyrant stepdaughter,
00:33:51her behavior is vehement and
00:33:53out of line.
00:33:55You broke up with her once upon a time.
00:33:57I am sure
00:33:59you will come to those same senses
00:34:01again.
00:34:03You know,
00:34:05I think that
00:34:07you burned the house down with a candle.
00:34:09Please stop!
00:34:11What? You're scared of a little thing like this?
00:34:13Candace, enough.
00:34:17You have always been so
00:34:19quiet and unforgiving
00:34:21of everything I did.
00:34:23Like I'm some evil person.
00:34:25But we both know
00:34:27the real answer.
00:34:29You're the evil that has
00:34:31crept into my life and ruined everything
00:34:33that I built.
00:34:35I don't hit women, but if you pull that shit again
00:34:37I will burn your fucking house down.
00:34:41Come on, Astrid.
00:34:43Let's go.
00:34:53That bitch!
00:34:55She humiliated me.
00:34:57Why does Ryder even want her?
00:34:59We'll fix this.
00:35:01We will take everything from her.
00:35:03Hahaha, Gina.
00:35:05Hold off on
00:35:07signing that marriage certificate
00:35:09with Brian.
00:35:11I've got a plan.
00:35:13Hahaha.
00:35:15Wait, you didn't think I could dance?
00:35:17No, I was just
00:35:19pleasantly surprised is all.
00:35:24Well, thank you
00:35:26for tonight.
00:35:30Astrid.
00:35:32Wait.
00:35:34Tell me what happened.
00:35:39There, um,
00:35:41there was a fire
00:35:43in my childhood home
00:35:45and
00:35:47I was still inside
00:35:49when my dad got back, so
00:35:51he, um,
00:35:53risked his life
00:35:55to save mine and
00:35:57he's been
00:35:59in and out of the hospital
00:36:01with lung failure ever since.
00:36:03That's not your fault.
00:36:09That is not your fault, Astrid.
00:36:15I promise I'll never let anyone hurt you
00:36:17ever again.
00:36:21As long as I live and breathe.
00:36:27You should get some rest.
00:36:31Yeah.
00:36:33Goodnight, Clay.
00:36:35Let's make drinks.
00:36:39Gina is
00:36:41a very bright girl
00:36:43but I don't think she's a
00:36:45great long-term fit for our company
00:36:47and as Ryder's wife.
00:36:49No, um, I mean,
00:36:51Gina is a bright girl.
00:36:53She has two doctorate degrees.
00:36:55She's volunteered at the local
00:36:57animal shelter.
00:36:59She even had an orphan recently ask
00:37:01if she would adopt her.
00:37:03Hmm.
00:37:05Well, I'll see
00:37:07what I can do to convince my son.
00:37:09That's wonderful. Wonderful.
00:37:11Thank you, Helen. Thank you.
00:37:13Come, dear.
00:37:19Come.
00:37:25You only get one chance at this
00:37:27and we are going to make sure you do not
00:37:29mess it up.
00:37:31You are going to give him a bottle of wine
00:37:33and show him the time of his life.
00:37:35You got that?
00:37:37What's in the wine?
00:37:39You are a clever girl,
00:37:41Gina.
00:37:43An aphrodisiac.
00:37:45He won't be able to resist you.
00:37:47You can't fail.
00:37:49Come on. We have to get everything ready.
00:38:17You wanted to see me?
00:38:19Yes.
00:38:21All right.
00:38:23Spill.
00:38:25I have an interested prospect.
00:38:27You remember Astrid Marie?
00:38:29My ex. You want me to date Astrid?
00:38:31No. Her stepmother
00:38:33contacted me about you dating her daughter.
00:38:35You went to school with her. Her name's...
00:38:37Gina.
00:38:39Yes. Well, she does have
00:38:41a suitable background that would...
00:38:43No.
00:38:45Ryder?
00:38:47No.
00:38:49We both know you're lucky you made it this far.
00:38:51We can't keep putting these things off.
00:38:55Sounds amazing.
00:38:57I'll be there soon.
00:38:59Okay. Perfect.
00:39:05I'm so sorry.
00:39:07Please tell me these are the updated
00:39:09designs 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
00:39:15fumbling like a fool on the ground.
00:39:29You really expect us to sell these?
00:39:31No. They're too
00:39:33expensive to make.
00:39:35No one's going to buy them. And, honey,
00:39:37they're ugly. Make more.
00:39:39And if you don't get this right,
00:39:41you will be fired and you will never see another wedding
00:39:43dress for the rest of your useless,
00:39:45worthless, meaningless life.
00:39:47Are we clear? You have until noon tomorrow.
00:39:49I have a meeting with Ryder Van Woodson
00:39:51and I want to show him the latest collection.
00:39:53So can we do that? And make sure
00:39:55that they're cheap.
00:39:57Okay? Great.
00:40:11What happened?
00:40:13Oh, hey, Clyde.
00:40:15My boss didn't like any of my designs,
00:40:17so if I want to keep my job,
00:40:19the same job that's been helping me support my dad,
00:40:21I need to get her an entirely new collection by tomorrow afternoon.
00:40:23These are really good.
00:40:25Really? Thanks.
00:40:27What is she looking for?
00:40:29Modern, sleek, and cheap.
00:40:31I guess that's what the infamous Ryder Van Woodson
00:40:33wants to sell these days.
00:40:35My work is a vendor for his company,
00:40:37so they make and sell the dresses we just designed them.
00:40:39What?
00:40:41Really?
00:40:43Yeah.
00:40:45She's making it work for the big man.
00:40:47My ex is my biggest client.
00:40:49I hope he eats shit.
00:40:53That's fair.
00:40:59Could you be any more last minute?
00:41:01He's already in the building.
00:41:03The printer got the shotgun.
00:41:05I said cheap.
00:41:07I don't know what about a three-tiered skirt
00:41:09and a layered bodice is cheap,
00:41:11but it's fine.
00:41:13We'll make it work.
00:41:15It'll do.
00:41:19You can go.
00:41:21I still have my job.
00:41:23Thank you, dear.
00:41:25You just got me my next promotion.
00:41:27You're welcome.
00:41:29I still have my job.
00:41:31Thank you, dear.
00:41:33You just got me my next promotion.
00:41:35Perfect.
00:41:37All right.
00:41:39I'm only going to be about 30 minutes max.
00:41:41I want you to take these to the CEO
00:41:43while I'm in my meeting with Fiona.
00:41:45You got it.
00:41:47If he has any questions about the proposal,
00:41:49just tell him I'll be up there shortly.
00:41:51Hey, Mr. Bossman,
00:41:53your cover's about to be blown.
00:41:55Here she comes.
00:41:57Here she comes.
00:42:01Adam!
00:42:03What are you doing here?
00:42:05Clyde?
00:42:07Hi.
00:42:09Um...
00:42:11You know,
00:42:13my boss lent me his car for the day
00:42:15and I hired Clyde here to drive me
00:42:17to my meeting,
00:42:19which I'm going to go to now.
00:42:21Thanks, Clyde.
00:42:23Have a good meeting.
00:42:25Adam?
00:42:27Yeah, just, you know, driving during the day
00:42:29and I'll bartend at night, a little extra side cash.
00:42:31Oh, that's great. You're busy.
00:42:33For a second I thought you were Ryder Van Woodson.
00:42:35He's here today, you know.
00:42:37That'd be crazy if you guys ran into each other.
00:42:39That would be very interesting.
00:42:41I mean, do you think I could pass as a Mr. Ryder Van Woodson?
00:42:43I mean, maybe you could try.
00:42:45Hey, I gotta get these to Fiona before she fires me
00:42:47if it's not, like, negative 60 seconds,
00:42:49so I'll see you later, but...
00:42:51Um, movie marathon tonight?
00:42:53That sounds great.
00:43:07Mr. Van Woodson.
00:43:09Fiona.
00:43:11Good afternoon, everyone.
00:43:15So I hear you had some new ideas
00:43:17you wanted to share with me and my company.
00:43:19Yes, I had some new product ideas
00:43:21that drive so much in sales
00:43:23and you get 30% off the gross profit.
00:43:25This is a new and sleek collection
00:43:27that I'm debuting this season.
00:43:29I call it God Dress Apparel.
00:43:31Like, goddess.
00:43:41These are really good.
00:43:43You designed all of these?
00:43:45Oh, yes, this is all my original work.
00:43:47I worked very hard this quarter, so...
00:43:49Really?
00:43:51Yes.
00:43:53Well, then, uh,
00:43:55care to explain who Astrid Marie is?
00:43:59Astrid?
00:44:01Yes, of course.
00:44:03Um...
00:44:07That is, um...
00:44:09That's a pen name.
00:44:11A pen name.
00:44:13Yes, Mr. Van Woodson, and you know artists
00:44:15who use pen names, so...
00:44:17Well, Fiona Lin.
00:44:19Unfortunately for you,
00:44:21I dated an Astrid Marie once
00:44:23and I just happen to know
00:44:25that she works at this company
00:44:27under your direct management.
00:44:29So...
00:44:31Are you going to give credit where credit is due
00:44:33or am I going to have to report you
00:44:35for attempted plagiarism?
00:44:37...
00:44:39...
00:44:43...
00:44:45and then my boss just walked out of her meeting.
00:44:47Not a glance in my direction, she packed up
00:44:49all of her stuff and left.
00:44:51And then an hour later I get an email
00:44:53saying that I offered her position
00:44:55and that my designs were the top pick for Rider's Company.
00:44:57So you think you're going to take it?
00:44:59I mean, maybe.
00:45:01It's a pay raise, so it's a good deal.
00:45:03Also, I wanted to thank you
00:45:05And thank you for being very supportive with all of the explosion of chaos that I dumped
00:45:10on you.
00:45:11I really needed the encouragement, so, thank you.
00:45:18You're welcome.
00:45:21Happy to help.
00:45:29How did you know that pigtail 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.
00:46:03Okay.
00:46:26Astrid is going to regret messing with us.
00:46:30Definitely.
00:46:32They both are.
00:46:46Hi Ryder.
00:46:49I have something for you.
00:46:59An 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, showing 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.
00:47:26I'm really sorry.
00:47:29Truly.
00:47:33Is that all?
00:47:35Was there something else you wanted me to say?
00:47:39Yes, I want you to apologize to your sister.
00:47:43She's the one that deserves it.
00:47:46Done.
00:47:51Here's your drink.
00:47:54Here's your drink.
00:47:56And I'll go now.
00:48:03I'm really sorry, Ryder.
00:48:14Psycho.
00:48:24Here.
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?
00:49:11Anna, come in here please.
00:49:13What?
00:49:14So you don't feel anything?
00:49:17Nothing?
00:49:19I feel nothing towards you, Gina.
00:49:23Adam!
00:49:39What was that all about?
00:49:41Nothing good.
00:49:43I'm going to head home for the evening.
00:49:45You feel free to leave early as well.
00:49:47You feel free to leave early as well.
00:49:53Good night.
00:49:54Good night, Adam.
00:50:07Your 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.
00:50:20On a lighter note, all of your debt was paid off by a mystery donor.
00:50:24And 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.
00:51:13Yeah.
00:51:17Hi.
00:51:18Are you alright?
00:51:19I think...
00:51:21I think Gina drugged me.
00:51:24What?
00:51:26Did she overdose you?
00:51:27Are you okay?
00:51:28Do we need to call someone?
00:51:29No, I don't know.
00:51:31It was so beautiful after.
00:51:34But now the only thing I can see and the only thing I want to see.
00:51:38Clyde.
00:51:43I want you.
00:51:45I've wanted you for so long.
00:51:46Clyde.
00:51:47I never want to leave you.
00:51:49Clyde, what, how do I help?
00:51:50Who do I call?
00:51:51I'm sorry.
00:51:53I can't thank whatever Gina gave me.
00:51:56I want to kiss you again, but I'm afraid I can't.
00:51:59Okay.
00:52:00Hospital.
00:52:01Okay.
00:52:02I need a shift.
00:52:03Okay.
00:52:04Clyde, I'm gonna call an ambulance.
00:52:10How did it go?
00:52:11He wasn't affected by it.
00:52:12One sip should have been enough for it to work.
00:52:14What do you mean?
00:52:15It didn't work?
00:52:16No.
00:52:17So he didn't sleep with you?
00:52:18No, the concoction didn't work.
00:52:19The aphrodisiac.
00:52:20That can't be right.
00:52:21We put plenty of it in.
00:52:24More than plenty.
00:52:26It should have worked just fine.
00:52:29Drink.
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.
00:52:35Now drink it.
00:52:37All of it.
00:52:40Go.
00:52:41Go.
00:52:42Go.
00:52:45Anything?
00:52:47Oh, God.
00:52:49That's fast.
00:52:55So he was just straight up repulsed by you.
00:52:59Or he has a slow metabolism.
00:53:01I guess the only way to get Astrid out of the picture now
00:53:03is to take her out entirely.
00:53:13Ha, ha, ha.
00:53:31Oh, my God.
00:53:35I thought Dana killed you.
00:53:37I'm all right.
00:53:40It was an aphrodisiac.
00:53:42I just had a bad reaction to it because of...
00:53:44My tumor.
00:53:46My metabolism.
00:53:48I'll be completely better by tomorrow.
00:53:50I just need to drink a lot of water and sleep it off.
00:53:52Any changes come back.
00:53:54I'm sorry to scare you.
00:53:56What are you looking at?
00:53:59You.
00:54:02You waited here.
00:54:03All night.
00:54:05Of course I waited.
00:54:07I was worried.
00:54:09All right.
00:54:10Well, let's get you home, then.
00:54:11Oh, my God.
00:54:12You look terrible.
00:54:13I was up all night.
00:54:14Gina drugged me.
00:54:15What?
00:54:16Yeah.
00:54:17She slipped me an aphrodisiac.
00:54:18I was in the hospital.
00:54:19Oh, my God.
00:54:20Are you all right?
00:54:21I mean, it didn't hit me until I was home, thankfully.
00:54:24But it did aggravate the tumor.
00:54:25Oh, my God.
00:54:26Did you have a heart attack?
00:54:27No.
00:54:28Oh, my God.
00:54:29Oh, my God.
00:54:30Oh, my God.
00:54:31Oh, my God.
00:54:32Oh, my God.
00:54:33Oh, my God.
00:54:34Oh, my God.
00:54:35Oh, my God.
00:54:36Oh, my God.
00:54:37Oh, my God.
00:54:38Oh, my God.
00:54:39Oh, my God.
00:54:41Oh, my God.
00:54:42Did you file a report?
00:54:43The police need to know about this.
00:54:44What kind of person does that to you?
00:54:45Yes, Mom.
00:54:46I did.
00:54:47She'll be in custody by the end of the day.
00:54:48Mom, you have to listen to me right now.
00:54:49Please.
00:54:50No more blind dates.
00:54:51I mean it.
00:54:52Ryder, you being in your condition, you're not capable of having long lasting love.
00:54:53But we have to do what's right for the business.
00:54:54It's about the business.
00:54:55If you set me up with another woman, I will step down from my position as CEO.
00:54:56I'm sorry.
00:54:57I'm sorry.
00:54:58I'm sorry.
00:54:59I'm sorry.
00:55:00I'm sorry.
00:55:01I'm sorry.
00:55:02I'm sorry.
00:55:03I'm sorry.
00:55:04I'm sorry.
00:55:05I'm sorry.
00:55:06I'm sorry.
00:55:07I'm sorry.
00:55:08I'm sorry.
00:55:09If you set me up with another woman, I will step down from my position as CEO.
00:55:10Mommy, you don't mean that.
00:55:11Don't I?
00:55:12Ryder, we have to find someone suitable to help you run the business.
00:55:24It's a wedding business.
00:55:25Okay?
00:55:26We have to show that marriage is a good thing.
00:55:28I know it sounds stupid, but we have to think about the company image.
00:55:32I don't care about the company image, Mom.
00:55:36What about me? What about what I want?
00:55:41What if I want to live alone and spend the rest of my life away from all of this?
00:55:45Give 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.
00:55:57Mom.
00:56:04I can't even hold memories now.
00:56:09I 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.
00:56:28Mom.
00:56:32I already have someone.
00:56:36They can't have me.
00:56:38But they are my person.
00:56:44Mom, I would really, really appreciate it
00:56:47if you stop acting like I'm already gone.
00:56:50Because like it or not
00:56:52I'm still here.
00:57:07Hi, how was your day?
00:57:10You
00:57:21I'm sorry.
00:57:23Why are you hiding from me?
00:57:25That's the only thing I know how to do.
00:57:27It's all I can do. That's the problem.
00:57:32You don't have to hide from me.
00:57:39I'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, I'll see ya.
00:58:53Yeah.
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.
00:59:49You're right.
00:59:51I'm not gonna force you to go on any more blind dates.
00:59:53Mm-hmm.
00:59:56Oh fuck.
00:59:58Ryder,
01:00:00are you taking medication?
01:00:02Medication?
01:00:04Oh lord.
01:00:08You don't remember this morning, do you?
01:00:10Or last night?
01:00:14Honey, you have to take your pills.
01:00:18I don't get it.
01:00:20Well take them and you will.
01:00:26Okay, so
01:00:28I'm gonna check in
01:00:30with you later, alright?
01:00:32Mm-hmm.
01:00:34Remember, keep taking your pills.
01:00:36Mm-hmm.
01:00:38Alright, I'll see you later.
01:00:40I forgot who Astrid was.
01:01:10Hey Astrid.
01:01:11Hi.
01:01:12You have a meeting tomorrow afternoon.
01:01:13Okay, what's the meeting for?
01:01:19New business relations.
01:01:22Business relations?
01:01:24That's not vague at all.
01:01:26It's a meeting to discuss
01:01:28CMW's acquisition of SCD.
01:01:32Ryder Van Woodsen is trying to buy us out?
01:01:35Yes.
01:01:37And I have to be there
01:01:39for that meeting?
01:01:41Yes.
01:01:43I just can't believe he's trying to take over the company where I work.
01:01:45Like this is so typical.
01:01:47Is there anything that Ryder Van Woodsen can't have?
01:01:49And it's like it's not like I don't have enough going on at work already.
01:01:52God, it's like he's everywhere.
01:01:57I understand that I live with this more buff doppelganger
01:02:00so he is top of mind for me right now
01:02:02but still, it's just frustrating.
01:02:06You should talk to him.
01:02:10Why?
01:02:15Well, maybe there's some unresolved feelings there.
01:02:18It'd be good to just talk it out.
01:02:20I guess so.
01:02:22Especially if we're going to be working together.
01:02:26Maybe I'll try to catch him after that business meeting tomorrow.
01:02:29Good.
01:02:31Yeah, that sounds good.
01:02:34There's actually something I've been wanting to talk to you about also.
01:02:38What is it?
01:02:41Well,
01:02:44I kind of wanted to talk about us.
01:02:48I kind of wanted to talk about us.
01:02:53Well,
01:02:55I feel like it's probably obvious already but
01:02:58I
01:03:00like
01:03:02like you.
01:03:04Like really
01:03:06like you.
01:03:14I really like you too.
01:03:23But I can't.
01:03:28I just, I don't
01:03:31think that it's
01:03:38I can't have anything serious right now.
01:03:44I'm just not someone you can commit to.
01:03:46I have no long-term potential here.
01:03:54Okay.
01:03:57Understood.
01:03:59I'm sorry, Astrid.
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.
01:04:33Yes, tomorrow morning would be perfect.
01:04:49You're gonna see Astrid at work.
01:04:52Like, see her.
01:04:56Yeah, we're acquiring the company she works at.
01:04:59So I said, I suggested that she speak to him.
01:05:02Me.
01:05:04When the meeting's finished, it's time that she knows the truth.
01:05:06I can't keep lying to her.
01:05:08It's only gonna hurt her more if I keep doing this.
01:05:10You want her to recognize you?
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:15I'm just gonna explain
01:05:17why I did what I did.
01:05:19It's time that she knows the truth and we go our separate ways.
01:05:21She'll get everything.
01:05:23My business. All of it.
01:05:25As long as she's taken care of, that's all that matters to me.
01:05:28She's gonna kick your ass.
01:05:32Yeah, she's more than allowed to be angry with me.
01:05:34I can understand that.
01:05:36Well, sayonara, buddy.
01:05:39Oh, you are coming with me.
01:05:42You're dragging me into this too?
01:05:44You have your own fessing up to do.
01:05:51Shut the fuck up, bitch!
01:05:53Get off!
01:05:54Ah, you fucking bitch!
01:05:56Whoa, whoa, whoa. Adam, stop the car. Stop the car.
01:05:58Hey! Get away from my girl!
01:06:02Oh, shit. Are you okay?
01:06:09You son of a bitch! Get off of me, you fuck!
01:06:11Who are you working for?
01:06:13I'll never tell you!
01:06:15Get off!
01:06:17I'll cut off your nether regions.
01:06:19I'm a professional hitman, sonny boy!
01:06:21I'll never tell you a lick!
01:06:23I'll never talk!
01:06:25I'll pay you double.
01:06:27Deal.
01:06:29Is it a woman?
01:06:31Yeah.
01:06:33Candice Bergen Burns or something.
01:06:351850 South.
01:06:37Count, please.
01:06:39Yeah, that's right.
01:06:41That's my stepmom.
01:06:43Wow. Typical.
01:06:47You promised me.
01:06:49One million dollars.
01:06:51Pay up!
01:06:53I'll see you when you get out of prison, which is hopefully never.
01:06:55And it's not very unprofessional of you, you twat!
01:06:57Get 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. Adam and I will talk to the police.
01:07:15Clyde?
01:07:17Yeah.
01:07:19You were here for the meeting today?
01:07:21Yeah.
01:07:31Yeah.
01:07:33You lied to me.
01:07:39This whole time?
01:07:41Listen to me.
01:07:43Oh my god! How could I not have seen this?
01:07:45I am so stupid!
01:07:47It was you!
01:07:49Right?
01:07:53You were the one that paid off all my dad's debt.
01:07:57And you were the one
01:07:59that fired Fiona so that I would get promoted?
01:08:01And the flower in the apartment?
01:08:03Was that apartment even yours?
01:08:05Or was that a lie too?
01:08:07Listen, I was going to explain everything to you.
01:08:09Okay, just spare me any more lies!
01:08:11I trusted you.
01:08:15You're my ex, Ryder.
01:08:17My ex.
01:08:19You broke my heart.
01:08:21And then you wiggle your way back
01:08:23into my life for what?
01:08:25Some sick, twisted game?
01:08:27Some fantasy that you didn't get to fulfill?
01:08:29I'm not a toy, Ryder!
01:08:31I'm a person!
01:08:33With feelings!
01:08:35And you don't get to come in here and manipulate me
01:08:37just because you have the power to!
01:08:39Listen, I just wanted you to be happy.
01:08:41That's all I've ever wanted for you, Asher.
01:08:43Yeah, manipulating me and lying behind my back?
01:08:45That was thrilling for me, Ryder.
01:08:49No, no.
01:08:51Don't touch me!
01:09:01Dad, she sent hitmen
01:09:03after me. This woman is psychotic!
01:09:05She tried to kill me!
01:09:07And then Ryder showed up, but
01:09:09Clyde is Ryder, which I feel so dumb
01:09:11for not seeing literally the moment that I saw him.
01:09:13And I'm just angry!
01:09:15Like, so angry!
01:09:17And Adam knew this whole time he's been
01:09:19working for Ryder, and he didn't tell me!
01:09:21Wow.
01:09:23That's a lot.
01:09:25Yeah.
01:09:29Hmm.
01:09:31Yeah.
01:09:33What are you thinking?
01:09:35How do you feel?
01:09:37I don't know.
01:09:39Confused, I guess?
01:09:41Like, why would Ryder
01:09:43break up with me just to come back into my life
01:09:45under a different name? That makes no sense!
01:09:47Hmm. Would talking to Adam
01:09:49maybe provide you a little insight,
01:09:51maybe? I guess.
01:09:53But I'm mad at him.
01:09:55He's been working for Ryder this whole time,
01:09:57didn't tell me he knew!
01:09:59He may have a perfectly sound explanation.
01:10:01But if not, then leave.
01:10:03Find another nice
01:10:05place elsewhere.
01:10:07Yeah, I guess.
01:10:11Thanks, Chad.
01:10:13I think I'm gonna come back here tonight if that's okay.
01:10:15I don't think I'll be going home.
01:10:17You're always
01:10:19welcome in my house.
01:10:21Thanks.
01:10:27Your wife's sick.
01:10:31Hey, yeah.
01:10:33I was wondering if you could look into something for me, please?
01:10:37Can you look up a Candace
01:10:39Margaret
01:10:41Diane?
01:10:43About your inquiry the other day,
01:10:45Mr. Van Woodson, Candace Margaret
01:10:47Diane does not exist.
01:10:49But we did find out some other information for you.
01:10:51No, are you serious?
01:10:53Oh.
01:11:05What was I just doing?
01:11:07What was I doing?
01:11:11Um.
01:11:17Hey, Adam, can you come in here, please?
01:11:21Yeah.
01:11:23Can you, uh,
01:11:25can you just brief me on my last
01:11:27few meetings today?
01:11:29Ryder, are you okay?
01:11:31Yeah. I think I'm just a little
01:11:33overworked.
01:11:35You just got into the office.
01:11:39I did.
01:11:41Like three in the afternoon.
01:11:43Well, with the thing with Astrid?
01:11:45Astrid?
01:11:47Okay, I think maybe we're gonna get you to the doctor.
01:11:49Something's not right with you.
01:11:51No.
01:11:53Hey, Ryder, you gotta go to my next meeting now.
01:11:55What?
01:11:57Ryder, what's
01:11:59going on?
01:12:01Ma'am, Ryder's confused. He hasn't remembered any of his morning.
01:12:03That's okay.
01:12:05What's going on with him?
01:12:09Hey.
01:12:11Ryder.
01:12:13He's having an episode.
01:12:15We need to go to the ER
01:12:17now. Now.
01:12:19Call them now.
01:12:21Hang on, honey.
01:12:23It's gonna be alright.
01:12:25Hang on, baby. Hang on.
01:12:27Helen, what's
01:12:29happening to Ryder?
01:12:31Medication.
01:12:33Come on.
01:12:35Hurry.
01:12:39Adam?
01:12:41What are you doing here?
01:12:43Astrid, hey.
01:12:45Did you come back for Ryder?
01:12:47No, I was visiting my dad.
01:12:49Is Ryder here?
01:12:51Did he follow me here?
01:12:53Oh.
01:12:55Oh, Adam?
01:12:57I need answers from you. Why is Ryder
01:12:59in the hospital?
01:13:01Astrid, 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.
01:13:13What?
01:13:15Why?
01:13:23He has a brain tumor, Astrid.
01:13:29We didn't realize
01:13:31that until he was about to graduate high school
01:13:33around the same time that you two broke up.
01:13:35But
01:13:37his brain functioning
01:13:39has been affecting him since he was
01:13:4113 years old.
01:13:43Memory loss, headaches,
01:13:45confusion,
01:13:47slow metabolism,
01:13:49medication problems, seizures.
01:13:51It's just been...
01:13:53It's been awful.
01:13:55Oh, my God.
01:13:57So that's why?
01:13:59He had a brain tumor?
01:14:03He hasn't been capable
01:14:05of ending long-term relationships.
01:14:09But
01:14:13he loved you, Astrid.
01:14:17He still does.
01:14:23Will you wait for me?
01:14:25Will you wait for me?
01:14:29Will you wait until he wakes up?
01:14:31Yeah.
01:14:33When or if he wakes up?
01:14:37I'm sure he would love to see you.
01:14:41Yeah.
01:14:43Yeah, I'll be right here.
01:14:47Thank you so much for being here.
01:14:49Of course.
01:14:56I'm sorry, Red,
01:14:58for not telling you about Ryder.
01:15:01About him pretending to be Clyde
01:15:03and trying to get close to you.
01:15:06I was the one that instigated
01:15:08the roommate living situation.
01:15:13Fuck you, Adam.
01:15:16You should have told me.
01:15:26Do you know why he did it?
01:15:29Why you lied?
01:15:30I don't understand why you didn't just tell me.
01:15:32I could give you my best guess, but
01:15:36I don't have the answer to that either.
01:15:42You'll have to ask him
01:15:44when he's out of surgery.
01:15:46If he's out of surgery.
01:15:49When.
01:15:52When.
01:15:55Have faith.
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
01:16:20until 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,
01:16:39but at this point it really doesn't matter.
01:16:44Just please come back.
01:16:47Ryder.
01:17:00I think I'm going to see my dad.
01:17:02Really quick, he's just down the hall.
01:17:04Will you call me if you need anything?
01:17:06Okay, sweetheart.
01:17:08Thanks for being here.
01:17:10Of course.
01:17:16Bye.
01:17:37Good!
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
01:17:55to stay out of my way.
01:17:59And what do you consistently do?
01:18:01You get in my way!
01:18:04You got Gina my only chance
01:18:06at Ryder's fortune,
01:18:08injuring 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?
01:18:26Okay.
01:18:40How is your boyfriend doing?
01:18:42I hear he has a little issue with his brain.
01:18:46A pesky little tumor, right?
01:18:48How did you know that?
01:18:50I have friends.
01:18:52Sure would be a shame if someone were to leak
01:18:54that the grand billionaire CEO
01:18:56of Van Woodson Fortune
01:18:58has been sick this entire time!
01:19:00Oh, what would that do to his business?
01:19:04What do you want?
01:19:08I get what I've always wanted.
01:19:10What you and your father
01:19:12could never give me.
01:19:14As much as I forced you both!
01:19:16Forced us?
01:19:18Ha!
01:19:20Who do you think introduced you
01:19:22to Ryder, sweetheart?
01:19:24That wasn't a chance meeting.
01:19:26I orchestrated it.
01:19:28Hoping that you or Gina
01:19:30would be smart enough to latch onto him!
01:19:32And all you had to do was
01:19:34keep him around!
01:19:36But you were so worthless
01:19:38that he couldn't 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
01:19:48this whole time?
01:19:50I know potential when I see it.
01:19:52And you don't have it.
01:19:54So you set my house
01:19:56on fire to kill me?
01:19:58I always get what I want, don't I?
01:20:02Now,
01:20:04you are going to marry Ryder
01:20:06and give me the business shares.
01:20:08Or his business
01:20:10goes up in flames.
01:20:14Because if I can't have it,
01:20:16no one can!
01:20:22Ha ha ha ha!
01:20:24They know what they're doing.
01:20:26They know what they're doing.
01:20:28They'll give him what he needs.
01:20:30What 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
01:20:48with the man of your dreams!
01:20:50Well, until he dies
01:20:52of cancer.
01:20:56Give me the money
01:20:58and the revenue!
01:21:00Or you die the way you were supposed
01:21:02to anyway.
01:21:04No.
01:21:08No.
01:21:10No! I would rather die
01:21:12than betray Ryder.
01:21:14He doesn't deserve it.
01:21:16I won't let you!
01:21:18Are you okay?
01:21:20Yeah?
01:21:24Fuck!
01:21:26Why are you here?
01:21:28Phyllis Cray, you are wanted for murder,
01:21:30I put the pieces together
01:21:32when you threatened Astrid at Gina's wedding.
01:21:34I hired a PI to look into you, that's your real name, isn't it?
01:21:36You're a sick woman jumping from family to family
01:21:38destroying them from the inside out
01:21:40just to get a little side cash, huh?
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!
01:21:48It's me and Gina against the world!
01:21:50What's a mother to do?
01:21:52I should have just killed you
01:21:54when you were young and I had the chance!
01:21:56You know, when you married my dad,
01:21:58I really thought
01:22:00we were going to be a family.
01:22:02Now I know how wrong I was.
01:22:06Wait!
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.
01:22:14Please.
01:22:16Have fun in jail.
01:22:20Oh, no!
01:22:24Ah!
01:22:28Ryder, we are ready for your surgery.
01:22:40See you guys on the other side, huh?
01:22:44I love you.
01:22:48I'll see you guys soon.
01:22:50But I need a moment to talk with Astrid.
01:22:58We can talk when your surgery's over.
01:23:02You know I might not make it back.
01:23:06I owe you an explanation.
01:23:12I broke up with you
01:23:14because I didn't want you to be with a man
01:23:16who's going to be sick.
01:23:20Someone who would forget things half the time.
01:23:22Someone you'd have to support and take care of.
01:23:24Someone who would slowly lose themselves
01:23:26I just...
01:23:28I didn't want that for you, Astrid.
01:23:32Then I saw you again
01:23:34and I thought, you know,
01:23:36one conversation can't hurt.
01:23:40One more chance to
01:23:42help you fight and feel better.
01:23:46One more chance to hear your voice
01:23:48and to be around you.
01:23:50One more chance to hear your voice
01:23:52and to be around you.
01:23:58And then I heard about you needing
01:24:00a place to stay in your financial struggles
01:24:02and I thought,
01:24:06well, if I could help you
01:24:08while I still can,
01:24:10maybe that way I could be with you
01:24:12without actually being with you.
01:24:14Then if I died,
01:24:16if this disease took me,
01:24:18at the very least I could die happy
01:24:20knowing that you were taken care of.
01:24:24Then I could just spend my last few days with you.
01:24:28I know it was selfish of me,
01:24:32but I don't regret it.
01:24:36Every second with you
01:24:38has given me one more chance
01:24:40to hold on a little longer.
01:24:42You're not going anywhere.
01:24:48Astrid,
01:24:52I've never loved anyone else.
01:24:54You are it.
01:24:56And I'm so sorry for lying to you.
01:24:58I am.
01:25:04But I don't regret it.
01:25:06Not one second.
01:25:08I'd do it all over again.
01:25:12I love you.
01:25:20I'm so sorry.
01:25:22I love you.
01:25:36I love you, sweetheart.
01:25:38I love you too, Dad.
01:25:42I love you.
01:25:50How was Ryder when you didn't see him?
01:25:52Who said I wasn't coming?
01:25:54Ryder!
01:25:56What are you doing here?
01:25:58I wouldn't miss this for the world, business trippy Dan.
01:26:00I was actually wondering
01:26:02if 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.
01:26:08Okay.
01:26:12Astrid,
01:26:14there's not been a single day since I've met you
01:26:16that I've not thought about you.
01:26:18My love and adoration for you
01:26:20continues to be a shining light
01:26:22I hope I will always be able to see.
01:26:26Astrid,
01:26:28meeting you has been nothing
01:26:30short of divine,
01:26:32destiny, fate.
01:26:34Ryder, I wish upon a star
01:26:36it'd be you that I see looking back at me.
01:26:38Astrid,
01:26:42will you marry me?
01:26:44Yes!
