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.
00:18:21I hope you like salmon.
00:18:34Oh, sorry.
00:18:37What's wrong?
00:18:38Can you actually...?
00:18:40What's wrong?
00:18:44Can you...?
00:18:45I'll kill her.
00:18:48Are you okay?
00:18:50Sorry.
00:18:51No, don't be sorry. Are you okay?
00:18:55Come sit.
00:19:06Do you... do you want to talk about it?
00:19:10No.
00:19:11I'd rather not.
00:19:13I understand.
00:19:21Um...
00:19:23I do have to ask you something.
00:19:26Yeah, sure. Ask away.
00:19:29I might have told my stepmom and stepsister that I was going to the wedding with Ryder Ann Woodson.
00:19:35I showed them that selfie that I took with you.
00:19:38You don't have to, but if you'd be willing to go and pretend to be Ryder Ann Woodson...
00:19:51Sure.
00:19:52Really? You would do that?
00:19:53I mean, I don't see why not. Free food and drinks, right?
00:19:56Yeah, 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 on you and Ryder's relationship.
00:20:05Oh. Uh... sure.
00:20:08I mean, he was a skinny kid. Not at all your physique.
00:20:13Um... anyway.
00:20:15Yeah, we had a... a really loving relationship.
00:20:19We were completely inseparable.
00:20:22I mean, talking about moving in together, starting our futures.
00:20:25Very serious stuff for we 17 year olds, but...
00:20:29I should have known one day he would just leave.
00:20:31Be a dick.
00:20:34Check and check.
00:20:38If only she knew that I would just be showing up as myself.
00:20:42What are you here for this time?
00:20:44Yes, well, I came to see how he was doing.
00:20:47Still sick and dying.
00:20:49Oh, good. I would hate for my husband to recover.
00:20:53Anyways, I need a favor from you.
00:20:57I need a certain medication.
00:21:01An aphrodisiac.
00:21:03Taste this.
00:21:05I'll pay you extra for it.
00:21:07Wait.
00:21:10Here.
00:21:12Got just what you need.
00:21:17You stupid old man.
00:21:20You sh... your daughter wasn't worth saving.
00:21:24You should have just given her to me.
00:21:27You should have just given her to me.
00:21:29You should have just given her to me.
00:21:31You should have just given her to me.
00:21:33You should have just let her burn.
00:21:36We could have collected the insurance money and run off together.
00:21:40But you had to be the stubborn hero, didn't you?
00:21:44You've lost all your money to medical bills.
00:22:00Yeah, what's up?
00:22:01The doctor you wanted me to look into?
00:22:04Yeah.
00:22:05Turns out, Dr. Daniel Evans has no background as a medical care professional.
00:22:11In fact, he has a criminal background selling drugs.
00:22:25Come on.
00:22:26Where are you going?
00:22:28I'm kicking a drug dealer's ass, are you joining me or not?
00:22:34Yeah.
00:22:47Dr. Daniel Evans?
00:22:50Can I help you?
00:22:51Yeah.
00:22:54I haven't seen you in a while.
00:22:59Hello, darling.
00:23:00Do you need some break?
00:23:06You're the bastard that's been smoking outside the room with a man suffering from lung failure.
00:23:14Yo, what the fuck?
00:23:16Who the fuck do you think you are?
00:23:18Termination papers.
00:23:20You'll be serving jail time for perpetuating patient symptoms under reckless behavior while within the hospital walls.
00:23:25You're also going to be charged with selling the hospital's narcotics.
00:23:27The police are outside waiting to escort you.
00:23:30I'm Ryder Van Woodson.
00:23:36Good luck selling drugs in jail, bitch.
00:23:42Thank you so much.
00:23:44Okay, you too.
00:23:47Coming!
00:23:49What's up?
00:23:50The hospital that my dad has admitted to just called and said that all of my bills have been paid off by a mystery donor
00:23:55and he's being transferred to a better care unit free of charge and cost.
00:23:59That is awesome news.
00:24:01I feel like I can breathe now.
00:24:04This is like the most relief I've felt in a decade.
00:24:08And now, now I can start planning to buy him a house.
00:24:11Oh, you want to buy him a house?
00:24:12Yeah, well, I mean, that's the plan. We'll see.
00:24:14I don't earn enough right now to do that, but...
00:24:16Ow!
00:24:19Oh my goodness, okay.
00:24:20Okay.
00:24:24You alright?
00:24:26You know, you'd make a pretty good doctor.
00:24:28Yeah, right.
00:24:29Wouldn't have to if someone knew what hot was.
00:24:32I think I have a great understanding of what hot is.
00:24:35Oh, is that so?
00:24:39Are you, um, ready for the wedding later?
00:24:44Uh...
00:24:46Your wedding.
00:24:48What wedding?
00:24:50Uh, wedding.
00:24:52Yeah, what, what wedding?
00:24:55Oh, the one that I invited you to to pretend to be Ryder and Woodson?
00:25:00Yeah, yeah, that wedding.
00:25:02Yeah, of course, uh, when are we leaving?
00:25:05Seven-ish.
00:25:06Are you okay? If you don't want to go, we don't have to.
00:25:09No, I said we're going to go, so we're going to go.
00:25:11I'm just, uh, I'm going to lay down for a second first.
00:25:15Okay.
00:25:20Okay.
00:25:26Maybe this was a mistake.
00:25:29She's going to find out who I am if my memory issues continue.
00:25:35And it's not like I can remember what I can't remember.
00:25:40I don't remember the wedding at all.
00:25:42I mean, that doesn't matter.
00:25:44But what if I lose my memories of her?
00:25:51Ready when you are.
00:25:53One sec.
00:25:55We're going to miss the reception if you don't hurry.
00:25:57I don't really care about the reception.
00:25:59I just care about the blasted after party.
00:26:13Wow.
00:26:14What, is it too much?
00:26:15My friend let me borrow the dress.
00:26:17Well, actually, she made it for me.
00:26:18She said it was an early birthday gift, but my birthday's not for like six months.
00:26:22You look stunning.
00:26:25Brian's going to rethink all of his life decisions.
00:26:27That leaving you is the worst thing he could have ever done.
00:26:29Yeah, well, he cheated on me, so it's his loss not mine.
00:26:32Indeed.
00:26:33So you're feeling better?
00:26:35Much.
00:26:36Permission to be your boyfriend this evening.
00:26:38Permission granted.
00:26:39Well then, let's get this show on the road.
00:26:49I am not surprised Astra didn't show.
00:26:52I mean, she's always been the selfish bitch of the family.
00:27:07Who was that?
00:27:10That?
00:27:14It's Ryder Van Woodson!
00:27:19Brian!
00:27:21Ugh, helpless!
00:27:24I'm telling Mom!
00:27:27Brian is looking green with envy.
00:27:29Really?
00:27:30Yeah, I know that look he'll like.
00:27:32He's coming over.
00:27:33Come over soon.
00:27:35Excuse me.
00:27:36May I steal Astra for a dance?
00:27:39She was my girl first.
00:27:41It's okay.
00:27:42Just be a second.
00:27:49You look beautiful.
00:27:51What do you want, Brian?
00:27:53Who's the new guy you're with?
00:27:54Are you trying to make me jealous?
00:27:56Because it's working.
00:28:01Are you serious?
00:28:02Brian, you fucked my stepsister.
00:28:04You don't get to say that to me.
00:28:05I don't know what happened.
00:28:06I was drunk.
00:28:07Of course you were.
00:28:08I never meant for it to happen.
00:28:09I barely remember doing it.
00:28:11Okay, you can spare me the details.
00:28:13Thanks.
00:28:14I'm sorry.
00:28:15I don't know that I can forgive myself, but maybe one day...
00:28:18Brian!
00:28:19Look around!
00:28:21Where do you think that we are?
00:28:24You're right.
00:28:25No, you're right.
00:28:28This is the last time you will ever have access to me.
00:28:32Do you understand that?
00:28:35What the fuck do you think you're doing with my husband, you whore?
00:28:39Gina!
00:28:41You do not get to do this at my house.
00:28:43You do not get to do this at my wedding.
00:28:45This is my wedding.
00:28:46You do not dance with my husband.
00:28:48I'm so sorry.
00:28:49I forgot to send my congratulations on stealing my fiancΓ©.
00:28:55Congrats, Gina.
00:28:56On a big, big day.
00:29:00Touch her and you'll lose this arm.
00:29:02Roger!
00:29:03Stay away from my girlfriend.
00:29:08Girlfriend?
00:29:10How is that possible?
00:29:11Why the fuck would you date this loser?
00:29:15You dumped her in high school.
00:29:16Hell, you should have dated me back then.
00:29:18I mean, you should have seen how pathetic Astrid was when you left her.
00:29:22She would cry, like, every morning and evening.
00:29:25For hours.
00:29:26For months.
00:29:27Super annoying.
00:29:29Gina, let's get something very clear.
00:29:31You have never been someone worthy of my affections.
00:29:33Now apologize to Astrid.
00:29:37Apologize to her?
00:29:39Never.
00:29:40Never?
00:29:41I hear you have a pretty good standing in the whiskey business.
00:29:43It would be a shame if you suddenly stopped generating clientele.
00:29:47Are you threatening me?
00:29:48Apologize.
00:29:50You're bluffing.
00:29:51Would you like to find out?
00:29:56Would you like to find out?
00:29:57Holy shit.
00:29:58Clyde is an amazing actor.
00:30:00Wait.
00:30:02Please.
00:30:03I mean, I was just joking.
00:30:05I mean, just sisterly banter, right, Astrid?
00:30:10Just roughhousing.
00:30:11You know?
00:30:12You're lucky this is all you have to do to repent.
00:30:15Apologize.
00:30:16It's your business.
00:30:18Are you going to do something?
00:30:19We are so, so sorry.
00:30:21Please.
00:30:22Brian!
00:30:23Please forgive my wife for her recklessness.
00:30:25I can't afford to lose a business not with a baby on the way.
00:30:28Do you accept their apology, Astrid?
00:30:31Yeah.
00:30:33It's whatever.
00:30:35It's gotta hurt.
00:30:41Hey.
00:30:42Are you alright?
00:30:43Oh my god, Clyde!
00:30:44You totally had me back there.
00:30:45Where did you learn to act like that?
00:30:46I...
00:30:47Thank you for that.
00:30:48I've never seen Brian and G like...
00:30:50Do you know why?
00:30:51You 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.
00:31:00Just us two.
00:31:01For old time's sake.
00:31:04What?
00:31:05Huh?
00:31:06You said for old time's sake.
00:31:08I, uh...
00:31:09I meant, like, what it's like to dance as a kid.
00:31:11You know, that feeling like you have all the time in the world ahead of you?
00:31:15Sorry if that sounded weird.
00:31:17No, it's okay.
00:31:19Yeah, I'd like that.
00:31:27I danced with a girl like this once.
00:31:29Yeah?
00:31:30Yeah.
00:31:31Who was she?
00:31:33My first love.
00:31:35She was beautiful.
00:31:36She made every day so much brighter.
00:31:39I never found the love like I had with her.
00:31:41What happened?
00:31:43Then I, uh...
00:31:47I broke her heart.
00:31:50And I'm sorry to inform you that...
00:31:53Ryder has agreed to...
00:31:57Ryder!
00:31:58Ryder!
00:32:04I should've been breaking up with you.
00:32:06I know, it's so funny.
00:32:08I mean it.
00:32:09This is our last dance.
00:32:10Let's not see each other again.
00:32:13Sorry, what?
00:32:14What are you...
00:32:15We love each other.
00:32:16What are you talking about?
00:32:17I know.
00:32:18Just forgive me, Esther.
00:32:20Ryder!
00:32:21Ryder!
00:32:22What are you doing?
00:32:25Why?
00:32:26You broke up with her?
00:32:29Sometimes we don't really have a choice.
00:32:32We leave the ones we love because it's better for them.
00:32:34No.
00:32:35I think you always have a choice.
00:32:37You just have to pick your battles.
00:32:41Ryder Van Watson!
00:32:43It is so good to see you!
00:32:45It has been so long, dear!
00:32:47Ma'am?
00:32:49It's Candace.
00:32:50Remember?
00:32:53You know, I couldn't possibly understand what you see in my stepdaughter.
00:32:58Nothing but death and destruction.
00:33:01Stepdaughter?
00:33:02Nothing but death and destruction in her wake.
00:33:05I didn't cause the fire, if that's what you're referring to.
00:33:08Oh, of course not.
00:33:10I mean, you were the only one home, right?
00:33:13Who else could be to blame?
00:33:16It couldn't have been your poor, sickly father, was it?
00:33:20Risked his life to save your worthless ass.
00:33:24Gina, on the other hand, did you know she has experience at the fire academy?
00:33:28She volunteered to put out fires in college.
00:33:32When are you going to stop the lies?
00:33:34Don't talk back to me!
00:33:36See what happens if you touch my girlfriend.
00:33:41Girlfriend?
00:33:44Yeah, right.
00:33:47I'm sorry.
00:33:48On behalf of my tyrant stepdaughter, her behavior is vehement and out of line.
00:33:54You'll recall, you broke up with her once upon a time.
00:33:58I am sure you will come to those same senses again.
00:34:04You know, I think that you burned the house down with a candle.
00:34:09Please stop!
00:34:10What?
00:34:11You're scared of a little thing like this?
00:34:13Candace, enough.
00:34:17You have always been so quiet and unforgiving of everything I did.
00:34:22Like I'm some evil person.
00:34:26But we both know the real answer.
00:34:28You're the evil that has crept into my life and ruined everything that I've built.
00:34:34I don't hit women, but if you pull that shit again, I will burn your fucking house down.
00:34:41Come on, Astrid. Let's go.
00:34:43Let's go.
00:34:54That bitch!
00:34:56She humiliated me.
00:34:58Why does Ryder even want her?
00:35:00We'll fix this.
00:35:01We will take everything from her.
00:35:05Gina, hold off on signing that marriage certificate with Brian.
00:35:11I've got a plan.
00:35:14Wait, you didn't think I could dance?
00:35:17No, I was just pleasantly surprised is all.
00:35:24Well, thank you for tonight.
00:35:30Astrid, wait. Tell me what happened.
00:35:36There was a fire in my childhood home, and I was still inside when my dad got back.
00:35:49So he risked his life to save mine, and he's been in and out of the hospital with lung failure ever since.
00:36:05That's not your fault.
00:36:10That is not your fault, Astrid.
00:36:16I promise I'll never let anyone hurt you ever again.
00:36:21As long as I live and breathe.
00:36:27You should get some rest.
00:36:31Yeah.
00:36:32Good night, Brian.
00:36:36Let's make drinks.
00:36:40Gina is a very bright girl, but I don't think she's a great long-term fit for our company.
00:36:47And it's Ryder's wife.
00:36:49No, I mean, Gina is a bright girl.
00:36:52She has two doctorate degrees.
00:36:55She's volunteered at the local animal shelter.
00:36:58She even had an orphan recently ask if she would adopt her.
00:37:03Hmm. Well, I'll see what I can do to convince my son.
00:37:08That's wonderful. Wonderful. Thank you, Helen. Thank you.
00:37:12Come, dear.
00:37:23You only get one chance at this, and we are going to make sure you do not mess it up.
00:37:30You are going to give him a bottle of wine and 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, Gina.
00:37:42An aphrodisiac.
00:37:44He won't be able to resist you. You can't fail.
00:37:48Come on. We have to get everything ready.
00:37:59Okay.
00:38:18You wanted to see me?
00:38:20Yes.
00:38:22All right, spill.
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 contacted me about you dating her daughter.
00:38:35You went to school with her. Her name's...
00:38:37Gina.
00:38:38Yes. Well, she does have a suitable background that would...
00:38:42No.
00:38:43Ryder.
00:38:44I refuse.
00:38:46Ryder.
00:38:47No.
00:38:48We both know you're lucky you made it this far, but we can't keep putting these things off.
00:38:54Great. Sounds amazing.
00:38:57I'll be there soon.
00:38:58Okay.
00:38:59Yes. Perfect.
00:39:01So...
00:39:03Okay.
00:39:05I'm so sorry.
00:39:07Please tell me these are the updated designs that you've been meaning to give me.
00:39:11Yes. I was just on my way to get them to you.
00:39:13Great. Well, let me see them when you're done fumbling like a fool on the ground.
00:39:24Okay.
00:39:30You really expect us to sell these?
00:39:32No. They're too expensive to make.
00:39:35No one's going to buy them.
00:39:36And, honey, they're ugly.
00:39:39Make more.
00:39:40And if you don't get this right, you will be fired,
00:39:42and you will never see another wedding dress for the rest of your useless, worthless, meaningless life.
00:39:47Are we clear?
00:39:48You have until noon tomorrow.
00:39:50I have a meeting with writer Ben Woodson, and I want to show him the latest collection.
00:39:53So can we do that? And make sure that they're cheap.
00:39:57Okay?
00:39:58Great.
00:40:15What happened?
00:40:16Oh, hey, Clyde.
00:40:18My boss didn't like any of my designs, so if I want to keep my job,
00:40:21the same job that's been helping me support my dad,
00:40:23I need to get her an entirely new collection by tomorrow afternoon.
00:40:26These are really good.
00:40:27Really? Thanks.
00:40:29What is she looking for?
00:40:31Modern, sleek, and cheap.
00:40:33I guess that's what the infamous writer Ben Woodson wants to sell these days.
00:40:37My work is a vendor for his company, so they make and sell the dresses we just designed them.
00:40:43What? Really?
00:40:45Yeah.
00:40:46She's making it work for the big man.
00:40:50My ex is my biggest client.
00:40:54He'll be shit.
00:40:57That's fair.
00:41:03Could you be any more last minute? He's already in the building.
00:41:06The printer got the shotgun.
00:41:09I said cheap.
00:41:11I don't know what about a three-tiered skirt and a layered bodice is cheap,
00:41:15but it's fine.
00:41:17We'll make it work. It'll do.
00:41:23You can go.
00:41:24Okay. I still have my job.
00:41:26Thank you, dear.
00:41:28You just got me my next promotion.
00:41:32Perfect. All right.
00:41:36Perfect. All right.
00:41:38I'm only going to be about 30 minutes max.
00:41:40I want you to take these to the CEO while I'm in my meeting with Fiona.
00:41:43You got it.
00:41:44If he has any questions about the proposal, just tell him I'll be up there shortly.
00:41:47Hey, Mr. Bossman, your cover's about to be blown.
00:42:01Adam! What are you doing here?
00:42:05Clyde?
00:42:06Hi.
00:42:11You know, my boss lent me his car for the day,
00:42:15and I hired Clyde here to drive me to my meeting,
00:42:18which I'm going to go to now.
00:42:21Thanks, Clyde.
00:42:22Have a good meeting.
00:42:24You got another job?
00:42:26Yeah, just, you know, driving during the day,
00:42:28and I'll bartend at night, a little extra side cash.
00:42:30Oh, that's great. You're busy.
00:42:33Second, I thought you were Ryder Van Woodson.
00:42:35He's here today, you know.
00:42:36That'd be crazy if you guys ran into each other.
00:42:38That would be very interesting.
00:42:40I 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 got to get these to Fiona before she fires me,
00:42:47if it's not, like, negative 60 seconds, so I'll see you later.
00:42:49But, um, will we marathon tonight?
00:42:52Yeah, that sounds great.
00:43:04Mr. Van Woodson.
00:43:06Fiona.
00:43:08Good afternoon, everyone.
00:43:11So I hear you had some new ideas you wanted to share with me
00:43:14and my company.
00:43:15Yes, I had some new product ideas
00:43:17that I think are going to drive so much in sales,
00:43:19and you'll get 30% of the gross profit.
00:43:21This is a new and sleek collection
00:43:23that I'm debuting this season.
00:43:25I call it God Dress Apparel, like goddess.
00:43:31Yes.
00:43:35These are really good.
00:43:37You designed all of these?
00:43:39Oh, yes, this is all my original work.
00:43:41I worked very hard this quarter, so...
00:43:44Really?
00:43:48Well, then, uh, care to explain who Astrid Marie is?
00:43:52Astrid, yes, of course.
00:43:54Um...
00:43:58Uh, that is, um...
00:44:00That's a pen name.
00:44:02A pen name.
00:44:03Yes, Mr. Van Woodson, and you know artists,
00:44:05you use pen names, so...
00:44:07That's, that's that.
00:44:09Well, Fiona Lin.
00:44:12Unfortunately for you,
00:44:14I don't have a pen name.
00:44:16I don't have a pen name.
00:44:18Well, Fiona Lin.
00:44:20Unfortunately for you,
00:44:22I dated an Astrid Marie once,
00:44:24and I just happen to know that she works at this company
00:44:26under your direct management.
00:44:28So...
00:44:30Are you going to give credit where credit is due,
00:44:32or am I going to have to report you
00:44:34for attempted plagiarism?
00:44:44And then my boss just walked out of her meeting.
00:44:46Not a glance in my direction.
00:44:48She packed up all of her stuff and left.
00:44:50And then an hour later, I get an email saying that
00:44:52I've offered her position, and that my designs
00:44:54were the top pick for Ryder's company.
00:44:56So you think you're going to take it?
00:44:58I mean, maybe.
00:45:00It's a pay raise, so it's a good deal.
00:45:04Also, I wanted to thank you
00:45:06for being very supportive
00:45:08with all of the explosion of chaos
00:45:10that I dumped on you.
00:45:12I really needed the encouragement, so...
00:45:18You're welcome.
00:45:20I'll get help.
00:45:28How did you know
00:45:30that pink tail was
00:45:32my favorite flower?
00:45:34What flower?
00:45:36The flower that you left
00:45:38yesterday with a note at breakfast.
00:45:40I mean, that wasn't a guess,
00:45:42was it?
00:45:44I just...
00:45:46I saw it and I thought of you.
00:45:48Do you like pink tulips?
00:45:50I do.
00:45:52Me neither.
00:45:54I don't know.
00:46:25Astrid
00:46:27is going to regret messing with us.
00:46:29Definitely.
00:46:31They both are.
00:46:45Hi, Ryder.
00:46:49I have something for you.
00:46:55Thanks.
00:46:59An apology.
00:47:01An apology?
00:47:03You are going to need to be
00:47:05much more specific while you're in my office
00:47:07if that's all you have for an apology.
00:47:09Showing your face to me again.
00:47:11I know that I can be a pain sometimes.
00:47:13And I recognize that.
00:47:17And you know, I really
00:47:19don't want to be on bad terms with you, Ryder.
00:47:22So please,
00:47:24if you accept this as a token,
00:47:26just one glass.
00:47:30I'm really sorry.
00:47:32Truly.
00:47:37Is that all?
00:47:39Was there
00:47:41something else you wanted me to say?
00:47:43Yes. I want you to apologize
00:47:45to your sister.
00:47:47She's the one that deserves it.
00:47:49Done.
00:47:54Here's your drink.
00:47:56And I'll go now.
00:48:03I'm really sorry, Ryder.
00:48:14Psycho.
00:48:19What?
00:48:29Actually,
00:48:33there's something else that I wanted to talk to you about.
00:48:37Is it true
00:48:39what you said to me?
00:48:41About not liking me in high school?
00:48:43Yes.
00:48:45I 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.
00:48:53Like,
00:48:55what does Astrid have that I don't?
00:48:57Well, she doesn't resort to sabotage
00:48:59or violence to get the things she wants.
00:49:01Now, if you will excuse me.
00:49:03What, so you like, um, sweet and innocent?
00:49:05Why not fun
00:49:07and experienced?
00:49:11Anna, come in here, please.
00:49:13What?
00:49:15You don't feel anything?
00:49:17Nothing?
00:49:21I feel
00:49:23nothing towards you, Gina.
00:49:25Adam!
00:49:41What was that all about?
00:49:44I'm going to head home for the evening.
00:49:46You feel free to leave early as well.
00:49:48All right.
00:49:52Good night.
00:49:54Good night, Adam.
00:50:06Your stepmother
00:50:08is a piece of work.
00:50:10I find it miraculous
00:50:12that she's trying to blame you for what happened.
00:50:14I know
00:50:16you didn't start that fire.
00:50:20On a lighter note,
00:50:22all of your debt was paid off by a mystery donor.
00:50:24And I got a promotion at work.
00:50:26This is wonderful news,
00:50:28sweetheart.
00:50:30So 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...
00:50:42And?
00:50:44I like someone.
00:50:46His name is Clyde, but we live together.
00:50:48So I feel like it's not practical
00:50:50to have a crush on someone that you live with, right?
00:50:52No, but I could think of
00:50:54worse things to be in trouble over
00:50:56than living with someone you care about.
00:51:00Yeah.
00:51:10Hi.
00:51:12Are you all right?
00:51:14I think...
00:51:16I think Gina drugged me.
00:51:18What?
00:51:20Did she overdose you or are you okay?
00:51:22Do we need to call someone?
00:51:26That was so beautiful last night.
00:51:28But now you're the only thing I can see
00:51:30and the only thing I want to see.
00:51:32Clyde.
00:51:34Clyde.
00:51:36Clyde.
00:51:38Clyde.
00:51:42I want you.
00:51:44I've wanted you for so long.
00:51:46Clyde.
00:51:48Clyde, how do I help?
00:51:50Who do I call?
00:51:52I can't thank whatever Gina gave me.
00:51:54I want to kiss you again,
00:51:56but I'm afraid I can't.
00:51:58Okay.
00:52:00Okay.
00:52:02Clyde, I'm going to call an ambulance.
00:52:08How did it go?
00:52:10He wasn't affected by it.
00:52:12One sip should have been enough for it to work.
00:52:14What do you mean, it didn't work?
00:52:16No.
00:52:18So he didn't sleep with you?
00:52:20No, the concoction didn't work.
00:52:22The aphrodisiac, that can't be right.
00:52:24We put plenty of it in.
00:52:26More than plenty.
00:52:28It should have worked just fine.
00:52:30Drink.
00:52:32Me?
00:52:34Drink.
00:52:36Drink it.
00:52:40All of it.
00:52:44Go, go, go.
00:52:46Anything?
00:52:50Oh, God.
00:52:52That's fast.
00:52:58So he was just straight up repulsed by you.
00:53:02Or he has a slow metabolism.
00:53:06I guess the only way
00:53:08to get Astrid out of the picture now
00:53:10is to take her out
00:53:12entirely.
00:53:14Oh, my God.
00:53:34Oh, my God.
00:53:38Papatina killed you.
00:53:40I'm all right.
00:53:42Oh.
00:53:44It was an aphrodisiac.
00:53:46I just had a bad reaction to it because of...
00:53:48My tumor.
00:53:50My metabolism.
00:53:52I'll be completely better by tomorrow.
00:53:54I just need to drink a lot of water and sleep it off.
00:53:56Any changes come back.
00:53:58I'm sorry to scare you.
00:54:04Who are you looking at?
00:54:06You.
00:54:08You waited here
00:54:10all night.
00:54:12Of course I waited.
00:54:14I was worried.
00:54:16All right.
00:54:18Well, let's get you home, then.
00:54:24Oh, my God.
00:54:26You look terrible.
00:54:28I was up all night. Gina drugged me.
00:54:30What?
00:54:32Yeah, she slipped me an aphrodisiac.
00:54:34I was in the hospital.
00:54:36It didn't hit me until I was home, thankfully.
00:54:38But it did aggravate the tumor.
00:54:40Oh, my God. Did you file a report?
00:54:42The police need to know about this. What kind of person does that?
00:54:44I did.
00:54:46She'll be in custody by the end of the day.
00:54:48Mom, you have to listen to me right now.
00:54:50Please.
00:54:52No more blind dates.
00:54:54I mean it.
00:54:56Ryder.
00:54:58You being in your condition,
00:55:00you're not capable of having long-lasting love.
00:55:02But we have to do what's right for the business.
00:55:04It's about the business.
00:55:06If you set me up with another woman,
00:55:08I will step down from my position as CEO.
00:55:12Honey,
00:55:14you don't mean that.
00:55:16Don't die.
00:55:18Ryder,
00:55:20we have to find someone suitable
00:55:22to help you run the business.
00:55:24It's a wedding business, okay?
00:55:26We have to show that marriage is a good thing.
00:55:28I know it sounds stupid,
00:55:30but we have to think about the company image.
00:55:32I don't care about the company image, Mom!
00:55:36What about me?
00:55:38What about what I want?
00:55:42What if I want to live alone and spend the rest of my life
00:55:44away from all of this?
00:55:46Give everything to the one woman I've ever loved before I leave.
00:55:48At least then she can get something
00:55:50from all the pain that I've caused her,
00:55:52being what I am.
00:55:54Honey, you are not your condition.
00:55:56Mom.
00:56:02I can't even
00:56:04hold memories, Mom.
00:56:08I can't find real love
00:56:10because of this thing that's grinding away at me.
00:56:12You are right.
00:56:16So I'd rather spend the remaining time that I have
00:56:18happy
00:56:20and enjoying myself
00:56:22than spend another second
00:56:24playing 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
00:56:46appreciate it if you stop acting
00:56:48like I'm already gone.
00:56:50Because like it or not,
00:56:52I'm still here.
00:57:02Hi.
00:57:04How was your day?
00:57:18I'm sorry.
00:57:20Why are you hiding from me?
00:57:22That's the only thing I know how to do.
00:57:24That's all I can do. That's the problem.
00:57:26You don't have to hide from me.
00:57:56This isn't my room.
00:57:58Who is this?
00:58:04This must be her room.
00:58:08Morning.
00:58:10How'd you sleep?
00:58:12I had a one night stand.
00:58:14I had a one night stand.
00:58:16I had a one night stand.
00:58:18I had a one night stand.
00:58:20I had a one night stand.
00:58:22I had a one night stand.
00:58:24I had a one night stand.
00:58:26Good morning.
00:58:28I should...
00:58:30I should probably go now.
00:58:32Okay.
00:58:34Yeah, me too.
00:58:36This first day is my new position.
00:58:40Are these mine?
00:58:42Since when do I own a t-shirt?
00:58:50I'll, uh...
00:58:52I'll see you.
00:58:54Yeah.
00:58:56See you later.
00:59:02Hey, Adam. Can you come in here, please?
00:59:06Good morning, Mr. Van Woodson.
00:59:08Good morning, Adam.
00:59:10Can you brief me on my day today?
00:59:12You have a meeting
00:59:14with the CEO of Starcast
00:59:16this afternoon.
00:59:18Why are you in a t-shirt?
00:59:22Hey.
00:59:26How you doing?
00:59:32What we talked about last night?
00:59:34Mm-hmm.
00:59:36I'm sorry.
00:59:38I love you
00:59:40and I want you to be happy.
00:59:44You're right.
00:59:46I'm not gonna lie.
00:59:48I'm not gonna lie.
00:59:50You're right.
00:59:52I'm not gonna force you to go on any more blind dates.
00:59:54Mm-hmm.
00:59:58Oh, fuck.
01:00:00Right. Are 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.
01:00:16No, I didn't.
01:00:18Well, take them and you will.
01:00:26Okay, so
01:00:28I'm gonna check in
01:00:30with you later, all right?
01:00:32Mm-hmm.
01:00:34Remember, keep taking your pills.
01:00:36Mm-hmm.
01:00:38All right. I'll see you later.
01:00:46Okay.
01:00:52I forgot who Astrid was.
01:01:10Hey, Astrid.
01:01:12Hi.
01:01:14What's the meeting for?
01:01:20New 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.
01:01:32Rider-Van-Woodsen
01:01:34is trying to buy us out?
01:01:36Yes.
01:01:38And I have to be there
01:01:40for that meeting?
01:01:42I just can't believe he's trying to
01:01:44take over the company where I work.
01:01:46This is so typical. Is there anything that
01:01:48Rider-Van-Woodsen can't have?
01:01:50And it's not like I don't have enough going on at work already.
01:01:52God, it's like he's everywhere.
01:01:56I understand
01:01:58that 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.
01:02:08Why?
01:02:10Well, maybe there's some
01:02:12unresolved feelings there.
01:02:14It'd be good to just talk it out.
01:02:16I guess so.
01:02:18I'm sure we're going to be working together.
01:02:22Maybe I'll try to catch him
01:02:24after that business meeting tomorrow.
01:02:26Good.
01:02:28Yeah, that sounds good.
01:02:34There's actually something else
01:02:36There's actually something
01:02:38I've been wanting to talk to you about also.
01:02:40What is it?
01:02:44Well,
01:02:46I kind of wanted to
01:02:48talk about us.
01:02:50I kind of wanted
01:02:52to talk about us.
01:02:56Well,
01:02:58I feel like it's probably obvious already, but
01:03:00I
01:03:02like you.
01:03:04Like, really
01:03:06like you.
01:03:14I really like you too.
01:03:22But I can't.
01:03:28I just, I don't
01:03:30think that it's
01:03:32I just,
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.
01:03:56Understood.
01:03:58I'm sorry, Astra.
01:04:02Friends?
01:04:08How much?
01:04:12Yes, I can pay that.
01:04:14And more in a few weeks.
01:04:18Yes,
01:04:20not that I need to tell you, but
01:04:22be discreet.
01:04:24We don't want anyone to notice when she's
01:04:26suddenly gone.
01:04:32Great!
01:04:34Yes, tomorrow morning would be
01:04:36perfect.
01:04:50You're gonna see Astrid at work.
01:04:52Like,
01:04:54see her.
01:04:56Yeah, we're acquiring
01:04:58the company she works at.
01:05:00I said, I suggested that she speak to him.
01:05:02Me.
01:05:04When the meeting's finished, it's time that she knows
01:05:06the truth. I 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?
01:05:14Yeah.
01:05:16I'm just gonna explain why I did what I did.
01:05:18It's time that she knows the truth
01:05:20and we go our separate ways.
01:05:22She'll get everything. My business.
01:05:24All of it.
01:05:26As 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
01:05:34allowed to be angry with me. I can understand that.
01:05:36Well, sayonara, buddy.
01:05:38Whoa.
01:05:40You are coming with me.
01:05:42You're dragging me into this, too?
01:05:44You have your own fessing up to do.
01:05:52Motherfucker bitch!
01:05:54Get off!
01:05:56Whoa, whoa, whoa. Adam, stop the car.
01:05:58Stop the car.
01:06:00Hey! Stay away from my girl!
01:06:02Oh, shit. Are you okay?
01:06:10Son of a bitch! Get off of me, you fuck!
01:06:12Who are you working for?
01:06:14I'll never tell you!
01:06:16Get off!
01:06:18I'll cut off your nether regions.
01:06:20I'm a professional hitman, sonny boy!
01:06:22I'll never tell you a lick!
01:06:24I'll never talk!
01:06:26I'll pay you double.
01:06:28Deal.
01:06:30Is it a woman?
01:06:32Yeah.
01:06:34Candice Bergen Burns or something.
01:06:361850 South.
01:06:38Count, please. Yeah, that's right.
01:06:40That's my stepmom.
01:06:42Wow.
01:06:44Typical.
01:06:48You promised me.
01:06:50One million dollars. Pay up.
01:06:52Yeah, I'll pay you when you get out of prison,
01:06:54which is hopefully never.
01:06:56That's not very unprofessional of you, you twat!
01:06:58Get off of me!
01:07:00Get the hell off of me!
01:07:08Hey, Asher, are you okay?
01:07:10Hey, are you okay?
01:07:12Let's get you home. Adam and I will talk to the police.
01:07:16Clyde? Yeah.
01:07:18You were here for the meeting today?
01:07:20Yeah.
01:07:32Yeah.
01:07:34You lied to me.
01:07:40This whole time?
01:07:42Listen to me. Oh my god!
01:07:44How could I not have seen this?
01:07:46This is so stupid!
01:07:48It was you!
01:07:50Right?
01:07:52You were the one that paid off all my dad's debt.
01:07:58And you were the one that fired Fiona
01:08:00so that I would get promoted?
01:08:02And the flower in the apartment?
01:08:04Was that apartment even yours or was that a lie too?
01:08:06Listen, I was going to explain everything to you.
01:08:08Okay, just spare me any more lies!
01:08:10I trusted you.
01:08:12You're my ex, Ryder.
01:08:14My ex.
01:08:16You broke my heart.
01:08:18And then you wiggle your way back into my life for what?
01:08:22Some sick, twisted game?
01:08:24Some fantasy that you didn't get to fulfill?
01:08:26I'm not a toy, Ryder!
01:08:28I'm a person!
01:08:30With feelings!
01:08:32And you don't get to come in here and manipulate me
01:08:34just because you have the power to!
01:08:36Listen, I just wanted you to be happy.
01:08:38That's all I've ever wanted for you, Asher.
01:08:40Yeah, manipulating me and lying behind my back?
01:08:42That was thrilling for me, Ryder!
01:08:44Thank you!
01:08:46No, no.
01:08:48Don't touch me!
01:08:58Dad, she sent hitmen after me.
01:09:00This woman is psychotic!
01:09:02She tried to kill me!
01:09:04And then Ryder showed up, but Clyde is Ryder.
01:09:06Ryder is not Clyde.
01:09:08He showed up, but Clyde is Ryder,
01:09:10which I feel so dumb for not seeing
01:09:12literally the moment that I saw him.
01:09:14And I'm just angry!
01:09:16Like, so angry!
01:09:18And Adam knew this whole time he's been working for Ryder
01:09:20and he didn't tell me!
01:09:22Wow, that's a lot.
01:09:24Yeah.
01:09:30Yeah.
01:09:32What are you thinking?
01:09:34How do you feel?
01:09:36I don't know.
01:09:38Confused, I guess.
01:09:40Like, why would Ryder break up with me
01:09:42just to come back into my life
01:09:44under a different name?
01:09:46That makes no sense!
01:09:48Would talking to Adam maybe provide you
01:09:50a little insight, maybe?
01:09:52I guess.
01:09:54But I'm mad at him.
01:09:56He's been working for Ryder this whole time
01:09:58and didn't tell me he knew!
01:10:00He may have a perfectly sound explanation.
01:10:02But if not, then leave.
01:10:04Find another nice place elsewhere.
01:10:06Hmm?
01:10:08Yeah, I guess.
01:10:10Thanks, Chad.
01:10:12I think I'm gonna come back here tonight
01:10:14if that's okay.
01:10:16I don't think I'll be going home.
01:10:18You're always welcome in my house.
01:10:20Thanks.
01:10:28Your wife's sick.
01:10:30Hey, yeah.
01:10:32I was wondering if you could
01:10:34look into something for me, please?
01:10:36Can you look up a
01:10:38Candace
01:10:40Margaret
01:10:42Diane?
01:10:44About your inquiry the other day, Mr. Van Woodson,
01:10:46Candace Margaret Diane does not exist.
01:10:48What?
01:10:50But we did find out some other information for you.
01:10:52No, are you serious?
01:10:54Oh.
01:11:00What was I just doing?
01:11:02What was I doing?
01:11:04Um.
01:11:10Hey, Adam, can you come in here, please?
01:11:14Yeah.
01:11:18Can you, uh,
01:11:20can you just brief me on my last few meetings today?
01:11:22Ryder, are you okay?
01:11:24Yeah, I'm fine.
01:11:26Can you just brief me on my last few meetings today?
01:11:28Ryder, are you okay?
01:11:30Yeah.
01:11:32I think I'm just a little overworked.
01:11:34Ryder, you just got into the office.
01:11:38I did.
01:11:40Like, three in the afternoon?
01:11:42Well, with the thing with Astrid?
01:11:44Astrid?
01:11:46Okay, I think maybe
01:11:48we're gonna get you to the doctor.
01:11:50Something's not right with you.
01:11:52Hey, Ryder.
01:11:54What's going on next meeting now?
01:11:58Ryder, what's going on?
01:12:00Ma'am, Ryder's confused.
01:12:02He hasn't remembered any of his morning.
01:12:04That's okay.
01:12:06What's going on again?
01:12:10Hey.
01:12:12Ryder.
01:12:14He's having an episode.
01:12:16We need to go to the ER now.
01:12:18Now.
01:12:20Call them now.
01:12:22It's gonna be alright.
01:12:24Hang on, baby.
01:12:26Hang on.
01:12:28Helen, what's happening to Ryder?
01:12:30He hasn't been taking his medication.
01:12:32Come on.
01:12:34Hurry.
01:12:40Adam?
01:12:42What are you doing here?
01:12:44Astrid, hey.
01:12:46Did you come back for Ryder?
01:12:48No, I was visiting my dad.
01:12:50Did he follow me here?
01:12:52Oh.
01:12:54Oh?
01:12:56Oh, Adam?
01:12:58I need answers from you.
01:13:00Why is Ryder at the hospital?
01:13:02Astrid, he didn't...
01:13:04Okay, so what's going on?
01:13:10Ryder's been put in a medically induced coma.
01:13:12He's going into surgery.
01:13:14What?
01:13:16Why?
01:13:20I don't know.
01:13:24He has a brain tumor, Astrid.
01:13:32We didn't realize it until he was about to graduate high school,
01:13:34around the same time that you two broke up.
01:13:38But his brain functioning
01:13:40has been affecting him since he was
01:13:4213 years old.
01:13:44Memory loss, headaches,
01:13:46confusion,
01:13:48slow metabolism,
01:13:50medication problems, seizures.
01:13:52It's just been...
01:13:54It's been awful.
01:13:56Oh my God.
01:13:58So that's why?
01:14:00He had a brain tumor?
01:14:04He hasn't been
01:14:06capable of ending
01:14:08long-term relationships.
01:14:10But...
01:14:12He loved you, Astrid.
01:14:16He still does.
01:14:22Will you wait for him?
01:14:24Will you wait
01:14:26until he wakes up?
01:14:28Sure.
01:14:30When or if he wakes up?
01:14:34I'm sure he would love to see you.
01:14:38Yeah.
01:14:40Yeah.
01:14:42Yeah, I'll be right here.
01:14:44Okay.
01:14:48Thank you so much for being here.
01:14:50Of course.
01:14:58I'm sorry, Red.
01:15:00For not telling you
01:15:02about Ryder.
01:15:04About him pretending to be Clyde
01:15:06and trying to get close to you.
01:15:08I was the one that instigated
01:15:10the roommate living situation.
01:15:14Fuck you, Adam.
01:15:18You should have told me.
01:15:30Do you know why he did it?
01:15:32Why you lied?
01:15:34I don't understand why you didn't just tell me.
01:15:36I could give you my best guess, but...
01:15:40I don't have the answer to that either.
01:15:46You'll have to ask him when he's out of surgery.
01:15:50If he's out of surgery.
01:15:52When?
01:15:56Have faith.
01:15:58Okay.
01:16:10Ryder.
01:16:12Honey, it's Mommy.
01:16:16It's Mommy, I'm here.
01:16:20I don't think I really believed it until right now.
01:16:28I'm so sorry.
01:16:30For being so angry at you.
01:16:34I don't understand why you lied to me,
01:16:36but at this point it really doesn't matter.
01:16:42Just please come back.
01:16:46Ryder.
01:16:58I think I'm gonna see my dad.
01:17:00Really quick, he's just down the hall.
01:17:02Will you call me if you need anything?
01:17:04Okay, sweetheart.
01:17:06Thanks for being here.
01:17:08Of course.
01:17:28Ah!
01:17:38Good!
01:17:42You're finally awake!
01:17:46What do you want?
01:17:48God, you're useless!
01:17:50You're just a waste of space!
01:17:54I've been trying to tell you for years
01:17:56to stay out of my way.
01:18:00And what do you consistently do?
01:18:02You get in my way!
01:18:04You got Gina,
01:18:06my only chance at Ryder's fortune,
01:18:08injuring my family in jail!
01:18:16It was you!
01:18:18You were the one that started the fire!
01:18:22Hey.
01:18:24You wanna go get something to eat?
01:18:26Okay.
01:18:40How is your boyfriend doing?
01:18:42I hear he has a
01:18:44little issue with his brain.
01:18:46A pesky little tumor, right?
01:18:48How did you know that?
01:18:50I have friends.
01:18:52It would be a shame if someone were to leak that the
01:18:54grand billionaire CEO
01:18:56of Van Woodson Fortune
01:18:58has been sick this entire time?
01:19:00Oh, what would that do
01:19:02to 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 would be
01:19:30smart 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
01:19:38he couldn't even stand to stay with you!
01:19:40But something changed.
01:19:42He came back to you!
01:19:44My luck changed!
01:19:46You've been after Ryder's
01:19:48business this 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
01:20:12in flames.
01:20:14Because if I can't have it,
01:20:16no one can.
01:20:22Ha ha ha!
01:20:24The nurses, they know what they're doing.
01:20:26They know what they're doing. They'll give him what he needs.
01:20:28What 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?
01:20:42Ha ha ha!
01:20:44This should be an easy decision.
01:20:46You get to spend
01:20:48your life with 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.
01:21:10I would rather die
01:21:12than betray Ryder.
01:21:14He doesn't deserve it.
01:21:16I won't let you.
01:21:18Ah!
01:21:20Are you okay?
01:21:24What the fuck?
01:21:26Why are you here?
01:21:28Phyllis Cray, you are wanted for murder,
01:21:30now attempted murder.
01:21:32I put the pieces together when 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
01:21:38to family, destroying them from the inside out
01:21:40just to get a little side cash, huh?
01:21:42You have quite the record of fire 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
01:21:58my dad, I really thought
01:22:00we were gonna be a family.
01:22:02Now I know how wrong I was.
01:22:04Wait!
01:22:06Wait, no!
01:22:08No!
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.
01:22:16I found you.
01:22:18Oh!
01:22:20Oh, no!
01:22:22Ah!
01:22:28Ryder, we are ready for your surgery.
01:22:38See you guys
01:22:40on 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
01:22:52with Astrid.
01:22:54We can talk
01:22:56when your surgery's over.
01:23:00You know I might not make it back.
01:23:04I owe you an explanation.
01:23:10I broke up with you because
01:23:12I didn't want you to be with a man
01:23:14who's gonna be sick.
01:23:18Someone who would forget things half the time.
01:23:20Someone who would forget
01:23:22things half the time.
01:23:24Someone you'd have to support and take care of.
01:23:26Someone who would slowly lose themselves.
01:23:28I just...
01:23:30I didn't want that for you, Astrid.
01:23:36Then I saw you again and I thought,
01:23:38you know, one conversation can't hurt.
01:23:44One more chance to help you find and feel better.
01:23:46One more chance
01:23:48to hear your voice
01:23:50and to be around you.
01:23:56And then I heard about you needing a place to stay
01:23:58in your financial struggles and I thought,
01:24:04well if I can help you while I still can,
01:24:06maybe that way I can be with you
01:24:10without actually being with you.
01:24:12Then if I died, if this disease took me
01:24:14at the very least, I could die happy
01:24:16knowing that you were taken care of.
01:24:20Then I could just spend my last few days with you.
01:24:24I know it was selfish of me.
01:24:28But I don't regret it.
01:24:32Every second with you has given me
01:24:34one more chance to hold on a little longer.
01:24:36You're not going anywhere.
01:24:40Astrid,
01:24:44I've never loved anyone else.
01:24:46And you are it.
01:24:48And I'm so sorry for lying to you.
01:24:52I am.
01:24:56But I don't regret it.
01:25:00I don't regret it.
01:25:02But I don't regret it.
01:25:06Not one second.
01:25:08I'd do it all over again.
01:25:18I'm so sorry.
01:25:20I love you.
01:25:32I love you.
01:25:36I love you, sweetheart.
01:25:38I love you too, Dad.
01:25:50I wish Ryder were here to see it.
01:25:54Who said I wasn't coming?
01:25:56Ryder! What are you doing here?
01:25:58I don't want to miss this for the world, business trippy Dan.
01:26:02I was wondering if I could steal her for a little bit.
01:26:04Sure, sure. Don't let me get in your way.
01:26:06I have something to show you out back.
01:26:12Astrid,
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 would be you that I see looking back at me.
01:26:38Astrid,
01:26:42will you marry me?
01:26:44Yes!
