00:00:08These are all so good, I don't know how we're going to decide.
00:00:11Brian?
00:00:12Are 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 good decisions.
00:00:28I'm not too sure where you insisted on coming today.
00:00:31When were you planning on telling her?
00:00:34Astrid, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about.
00:00:37Ugh, out with it, Brian.
00:00:42Astrid?
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,
00:00:58instead 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
00:01:22to 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!
00:01:31Look, I already packed your shit from his apartment.
00:01:34It's at the dump, where you belong.
00:01:56Have fun eating cake, you two pieces of shit!
00:01:59Bitch!
00:02:07Adam, I'll move my meeting to Monday.
00:02:09I'm out for the evening as of...
00:02:13Right now.
00:02:13Good night, Adam.
00:02:15Wait!
00:02:16Yeah, and he's gone.
00:02:18Good night!
00:02:22Did you know that if you only sash
00:02:24three out of four tires on a car,
00:02:25the insurance won't cover it?
00:02:26Oh, and I love cheese!
00:02:27I know there's one place that has boroughs full of different cheeses
00:02:30from 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.
00:02:47Sir, Madam asked that I keep an eye on you,
00:02:50in case you try to run away again.
00:02:52I appreciate that, Mason.
00:02:53But I'm just going to use the bathroom.
00:02:55Is that an issue?
00:02:56I'm not 12.
00:03:22Give me your vest.
00:03:23Give me your pants.
00:03:24Ah!
00:03:36Get the suit.
00:03:38Oh, my God.
00:03:40It has to be worth, like, $10,000.
00:03:44I should let more men strip me naked.
00:03:48Oh, oh, my God.
00:03:49Oh, sorry.
00:03:52Asterix?
00:03:54It really is her.
00:04:02Hi.
00:04:04Hi.
00:04:05Can I, can I walk you home?
00:04:08And she looks horrified to see me.
00:04:11I guess that makes sense, considering she's my ex, and I was the one who broke her heart.
00:04:17Ryder?
00:04:18Ryder Van Woodson, what the hell are you doing here?
00:04:24Ryder Van Woodson, what the hell are you doing here?
00:04:27Ryder Van Woodson, what the hell are you doing here?
00:04:30You're not Ryder.
00:04:31What?
00:04:32Sorry.
00:04:33Oh, my God.
00:04:33She doesn't recognize that it's me.
00:04:35You are just this 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.
00:04:48Crushed me into a million...
00:04:49If only you knew the truth about why I broke up with me.
00:04:52I'm blabbering...
00:04:52I guess it wouldn't hurt to be a good old friendly Clyde for a little bit.
00:04:55She looks like she really is a friend.
00:04:57I'm sorry you had a horrible day on behalf of my apparently skinnier and less handsome doppelganger.
00:05:03I'll offer you a drink.
00:05:05Yes.
00:05:05You're our godsend, Clyde.
00:05:07Drink 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 dumb reasons to get dumped, I actually just got dumped.
00:05:19Like 15 minutes ago, two 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.
00:05:28He knocked up my stepsister.
00:05:30Oh, my God.
00:05:32We've been together for five years, and how much of that time was he pinning down my stepsister?
00:05:37I mean, am I so just worthless of a girlfriend?
00:05:42That the man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with...
00:05:46I've just been with my stepsister.
00:05:49That's a very weird tasting Long Island.
00:05:51That is the, uh, 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, knew 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 thank you.
00:06:17Um, hi.
00:06:19My baby!
00:06:22Oh, I just heard.
00:06:24Ryder.
00:06:27What are you doing here?
00:06:35I know.
00:06:36Very similar looking to Ryder.
00:06:39Clyde.
00:06:40Clyde.
00:06:41Adam.
00:06:42Adam.
00:06:43Clyde.
00:06:43Adam.
00:06:44Ryder.
00:06:45Ryder is this asshole CEO.
00:06:48He's got buckets and buns of money.
00:06:52He wouldn't need to be bartending to some drunk folk like us.
00:06:57Can I actually get another one of those?
00:06:59Um, yeah, my mistake.
00:07:02Right.
00:07:03Um, but how are you doing?
00:07:06Men are stupid.
00:07:08You know, just one too many you've had to deal with this evening.
00:07:16Since 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, hmm?
00:07:31Before someone sees you.
00:07:34We should take a selfie.
00:07:35Can we?
00:07:35Can we?
00:07:36Clyde, come on.
00:07:37Pretend to be Ryder, which is.
00:07:38Let's take a selfie.
00:07:39Come here.
00:07:39Okay.
00:07:43All right, time to go.
00:07:45Okay.
00:07:45Good night, Mr. D.
00:07:47Yeah, get your bag.
00:07:51I owe you one.
00:07:52Up to no good.
00:07:54You are.
00:07:55All right, come on.
00:07:56Here we go.
00:08:01Will you, will you just cross?
00:08:04Cross, but careful of the, okay.
00:08:06All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
00:08:08It's good to see you one more time, Astrid.
00:08:11If I could do that, I would.
00:08:13Are you good?
00:08:13Are 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.
00:08:22I love you.
00:08:27Of course, you'd be here.
00:08:32One place I have left to sleep.
00:08:34Why are you here?
00:08:36Well, I couldn't actually go to my ex-fiance's place.
00:08:40No thanks to you, Gina.
00:08:41Some stepsister.
00:08:43You are.
00:08:44So.
00:08:45Actually, I had nowhere else to go.
00:08:47Oh.
00:08:48So you got kicked out of Brian's, and you come to my mom's place to sleep?
00:08:54Are you serious?
00:08:56I mean, go be a homeless bum somewhere else.
00:08:59Get out.
00:09:00You are no daughter of mine.
00:09:03You were an asshole to me, and you were an asshole to Brian.
00:09:06And that'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.
00:09:16Really?
00:09:17Really?
00:09:19And my dad, who's been in the hospital, in and out for the last five years,
00:09:24have either of you ever dared to lift a finger to try to help?
00:09:29No, I didn't think so.
00:09:32I'm going to bed.
00:09:33Oh, you are not sleeping here.
00:09:37Okay, I'm not sleeping here.
00:09:40It's not like I enjoy being in your presence.
00:09:44You'll probably get contaminated with whatever sticks up both your butts.
00:09:48Like mother, like daughter, right?
00:09:53You come into my house.
00:09:54You are under my roof.
00:09:56You will show me respect.
00:10:00Respect is earned.
00:10:03You've done nothing to earn my respect.
00:10:07Get out.
00:10:08I don't ever want to see you again.
00:10:14Oh, but you will see me again at Gina's grand wedding
00:10:19with my new man,
00:10:20who's actually richer than Brian.
00:10:24Oh, yeah, right.
00:10:25Like who?
00:10:29Ryder Van Woodson.
00:10:32Ryder Van Woodson.
00:10:37Okay, Ryder dumped you in high school.
00:10:40Why would he be interested in someone like you?
00:10:42You don't deserve someone like him.
00:10:45I guess you're just going to have to wait and see on your big day, Gina.
00:10:49Me and my hot new date.
00:10:51I'm going to go pack my shit and leave.
00:10:56How is that possible?
00:10:59Mom, Ryder Van Woodson, the heir of the Van Woodson group?
00:11:03I don't believe that little bitch.
00:11:13I have nowhere to go.
00:11:15Except maybe my dad.
00:11:16It's at the hospital, but that's a far walk.
00:11:20I have to convince Bart under Clyde to go with me as 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.
00:11:47You're home.
00:11:48I wanted to ask you, how was your date with little Miss Dolly?
00:11:51Spectacular.
00:11:52Really?
00:11:52No, Mom.
00:11:53I was being sarcastic.
00:11:55Then why don't you just say so?
00:11:56Would you please, can you please just 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 are you going to stop?
00:12:14No.
00:12:16We need someone capable to run the business.
00:12:18Okay?
00:12:19Just in case.
00:12:22In case I die?
00:12:30In case I die?
00:12:33I was going to say, in case you were no longer able to do it all alone.
00:12:41We did another test on your son, Mrs. Van Woodson.
00:12:45And I'm sorry to inform you that Ryder has a brain tumor.
00:12:54Now, we can discuss some treatment options.
00:12:59At the moment, the cancer has taken over a portion of his brain that we don't feel is safe to
00:13:07operate.
00:13:23Ryder, Ryder.
00:13:25Yeah?
00:13:26Well, don't you worry about me.
00:13:28I can handle it.
00:13:31Yeah, well.
00:13:35Ryder, are you alright?
00:13:38Honey?
00:13:40Honey, are you alright?
00:13:42Oh.
00:13:42Yeah.
00:13:42Oh, we'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, hon.
00:14:16Oh, morning, Half-Lung.
00:14:19I'm sorry, what did you just call my dad?
00:14:21So, there have been some changes with the insurance coverages on your dad's provided care.
00:14:26New doctor insight was needed.
00:14:28I'm sorry, you were telling me that you changed the doctor to someone that wasn't under our coverage so you
00:14:32could 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, you can find another hospital
00:14:46to bitch at.
00:15:02Adam, I need you to...
00:15:04Yes, good morning, Adam.
00:15:07Okay, 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, but 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, but the in-laws have taken refuge here as well.
00:15:36You know, I might...
00:15:38Let me call you back.
00:15:39Okay.
00:15:45Hey.
00:15:46How do you know Astrid?
00:15:48She's been my best friend since college.
00:15:51Why aren't you trying to get buddy-buddy with Astrid under an alias?
00:15:56She needs a place to stay, right?
00:15:57She spent the night at the hospital with her dad.
00:16:00You didn't answer my question.
00:16:02Who is Astrid to you, Mr. Van Woodson?
00:16:05No.
00:16:06No, no, no, no, no.
00:16:07Don't give me that.
00:16:08You were giving me those googly eyes, begging me not to reveal who you are.
00:16:12So, Mr. Van Woodson, what are you doing with Astrid?
00:16:16I 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.
00:16:24That's all.
00:16:25She needed a friend.
00:16:26She has a friend.
00:16:28You, sir?
00:16:29Not a friend.
00:16:30You are an ex of hers who ripped out her heart and ate it for breakfast.
00:16:35I had no choice.
00:16:36We all make choices.
00:16:38You had yours.
00:16:40Choice is an illusion.
00:16:42Now, back to what I was saying.
00:16:43She 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.
00:17:04You can do this.
00:17:16Hey, 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.
00:17:50It's okay.
00:17:51Come on in.
00:18:02Adam.
00:18:02I said you needed a roommate.
00:18:04I just happened to need one as well.
00:18:07Yeah, weird coincidence.
00:18:11Um, about the other night, I was very drunk.
00:18:16And I'm a bartender.
00:18:17Don't worry about it.
00:18:19I, uh, I actually prepped us some dinner.
00:18:21I hope you like saying them.
00:18:37Oh, sorry.
00:18:39Um, what's wrong?
00:18:40Can you actually...
00:18:41What's wrong?
00:18:48Are you okay?
00:18:50Sorry.
00:18:51No, don't be sorry.
00:18:52Are you okay?
00:18:55Come a sec.
00:19:06Do you, do you want to talk about it?
00:19:10No.
00:19:11I'd rather not.
00:19:13I understand.
00:19:22Um, I do have to ask you something.
00:19:26Yeah, sure.
00:19:27Ask away.
00:19:29I might have told my stepmom and stepsister that I was going to the wedding with Ryder
00:19:34Rand Woodson.
00:19:35I showed them that selfie that I took with you.
00:19:38Um, you don't have to, but if you'd be willing to go and pretend to be Ryder Rand Woodson.
00:19:51Sure.
00:19:52Really?
00:19:53You would do that?
00:19:54I mean, I don't see why not.
00:19:55Uh, free food and drinks, right?
00:19:57Yeah, I mean, I've been planning for it to be an open bar.
00:19:59Good.
00:20:02Then you're going to have to brief me on you and Ryder's relationship.
00:20:05Oh.
00:20:06Uh, sure.
00:20:08I mean, he was a skinny kid.
00:20:10Not at all your physique.
00:20:14Um, I think...
00:20:15Anyway, yeah, we had a really loving relationship.
00:20:19We were completely inseparable.
00:20:22We were talking about moving in together, starting our futures.
00:20:25It was very 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.
00:20:47What are you here for this, son?
00:20:49Yes, well, I came to see how he was doing.
00:20:52Still sick and dying.
00:20:54Oh, good.
00:20:54I would hate for my husband to recover.
00:20:59Anyways, I need a favor from you.
00:21:01I need a certain medication.
00:21:06An aphrodisiac.
00:21:08Taste of this.
00:21:15I'll pay you extra for it.
00:21:17Wait.
00:21:20Here.
00:21:21Got just what you need.
00:21:26You stupid old man.
00:21:30Your daughter wasn't worth saving.
00:21:32You 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?
00:21:44Lost all your money to medical bills.
00:21:59Yeah, what's up?
00:22:01The doctor you wanted me to look into?
00:22:04Yeah.
00:22:05It turns out, Dr. Daniel Evans has no background as a medical care professional.
00:22:11In fact, he has a criminal background selling drugs.
00:22:25Come on.
00:22:27Where are you going?
00:22:29I'm kicking a drug dealer's ass.
00:22:30Are you joining me or not?
00:22:35Yeah.
00:22:48Dr. Daniel Evans?
00:22:50Can I help you?
00:22:51Oh, yeah.
00:22:54I haven't seen you in a while.
00:22:59Hello, Ty.
00:23:00Can you make some breaks?

00:49:21I feel
00:49:22nothing towards you Gina
00:49:24Adam
00:49:41what was that all about
00:49:42nothing
00:49:45I'm gonna head home for the evening
00:49:47you feel free to leave early as well
00:49:51thank you
00:49:52good night
00:49:53good night Adam
00:50:07your stepmother is a piece of work
00:50:09I find it miraculous that she's trying to blame you for what happened
00:50:15And I know you didn't start that fire.
00:50:21On a lighter note, all of your debt was paid off by a mystery donor.
00:50:25And I got a promotion at work.
00:50:27This is wonderful news, sweetheart.
00:50:29So I think I'm going to have enough to buy as 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.
00:50:41And...
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.
00:51:17Hi.
00:51:18Are you all right?
00:51:20I think Gina drug me.
00:51:25What?
00:51:26Did you overdose? You were okay? Do I need to call someone?
00:51:29I don't know.
00:51:31That was so beautiful, Asher.
00:51:34But now there's nothing I can see and the only thing I want to see.
00:51:39Clyde.
00:51:43I want you.
00:51:45I've wanted you for so long.
00:51:46Clyde?
00:51:47I have wanted you.
00:51:49Clyde?
00:51:49How do I help?
00:51:50Who do I call?
00:51:51I'm sorry.
00:51:52I can't thank whatever Gina gave me.
00:51:55I want to kiss you again, but I'm afraid I can't.
00:51:59Okay.
00:52:00Hospital.
00:52:00Okay.
00:52:01I need a shift.
00:52:02Okay.
00:52:03Clyde?
00:52:03I'm going to call an ambulance.
00:52:09How 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?
00:52:15No.
00:52:16So he didn't sleep with you?
00:52:17No, the concoction didn't work.
00:52:19The aphrodisiac.
00:52:20That can't be right.
00:52:21We put plenty of it in.
00:52:23Oh, more than plenty.
00:52:26It should have worked just fine.
00:52:30Drink.
00:52:31Me?
00:52:32Drink.
00:52:32You drink it.
00:52:33Oh, I am not the one who failed to sleep with Ryder.
00:52:36Now drink it.
00:52:40All of it.
00:52:43Go, go, go.
00:52:47Anything?
00:52:50Oh, God.
00:52:52That our toast.
00:52:58So he was just straight up repulsed by you.
00:53:02Or he has a slow metabolism.
00:53:07I guess the only way to get Astrid out of the picture now is to take her out entirely.
00:53:33Oh, my God.
00:53:38I thought Tina killed you.
00:53:41I'm all right.
00:53:43It was an aphrodisiac.
00:53:46I just had a bad reaction to it because of my tumor.
00:53:49My 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.
00:54:03What are you looking at?
00:54:06You?
00:54:09You waited here all night.
00:54:12Of course I waited.
00:54:14I was worried.
00:54:17All right.
00:54:18Well, let's get you home then.
00:54:25Oh, my God.
00:54:26You look terrible.
00:54:27I was up all night.
00:54:28Gina drugged me.
00:54:29What?
00:54:30Yeah, she slipped me an aphrodisiac.
00:54:32I was in the hospital.
00:54:33Oh, my God.
00:54:34Are you all right?
00:54:35I mean, it didn't hit me until I was home, thankfully.
00:54:38But it did aggravate the tumor.
00:54:40Oh, my God.
00:54:40Did you file a report?
00:54:42The police need to know about this.
00:54:43What kind of person does that?
00:54:44She did.
00:54:45She'll be in custody by the end of the day.
00:54:47Mom, you have to listen to me right now.
00:54:50Please.
00:54:52No more blind dates.
00:54:54I mean it.
00:54:55Ryder, you being in your condition,
00:54:59you're not capable of having long-lasting love.
00:55:02But we have to do what's right for the business.
00:55:04It's about the business.
00:55:05If you set me up with another woman,
00:55:08I will step down for my position as CEO.
00:55:14Honey, you don't mean that.
00:55:17Don't I?
00:55:19Ryder, we have to find someone suitable
00:55:21to help you run the business.
00:55:24It's a wedding business, okay?
00:55:26We have to show that marriage is a good thing.
00:55:28I know it sounds stupid,
00:55:30but we have to think about the company image.
00:55:33I don't care about the company image, Mom!
00:55:36What about me?
00:55:38What about what I want?
00:55:42What if I want to live alone
00:55:43and spend the rest of my life away from all of this?
00:55:46Give everything to the one woman I've ever loved
00:55:47before I leave.
00:55:49At least then she can get something
00:55:50from all the pain that I've caused her
00:55:51being what I am.
00:55:54Honey, you are not your condition.
00:55:57Mom.
00:56:04I can't even hold memories now.
00:56:08I can't find real love
00:56:10because of this thing
00:56:11that'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
00:56:25with someone I don't even know.
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.
00:57:08How's your day?
00:57:22I'm sorry.
00:57:23Why are you hiding from me?
00:57:26That's the only thing I know how to do.
00:57:27That's all I can do.

01:06:361850 South?
01:06:37Count Place.
01:06:38Yeah, that's right.
01:06:40That's my stepmom.
01:06:42Wow.
01:06:43Typical.
01:06:47You promised me.
01:06:50One million dollars.
01:06:51Pay up!
01:06:52Yeah, I'll pay.
01:06:53I'll pay you when you get out of prison, which is hopefully never.

01:07:09Hey, are you okay?
01:07:11Let's get you home.
01:07:12Adam and I will talk to the police.
01:07:16Clyde?
01:07:17Yeah?
01:07:19You were here for the meeting today?
01:07:21Yeah.
01:07:31Yeah.
01:07:34You lied to me.
01:07:40This whole time!
01:07:42Listen to me.
01:07:42Oh my god!
01:07:43How could I not have seen this?
01:07:45I am so stupid!
01:07:48It was you!
01:07:50Right?
01:07:52You were the one that paid off of my dad's debt.
01:07:58And you were the one that fired Fiona so that I would get promoted?
01:08:02And the flower and the apartment?
01:08:04Was that apartment even yours or was that a lie too?
01:08:07Listen.
01:08:07Listen, I was going to explain everything.
01:08:08Okay, just spare me!
01:08:09Any more lies?
01:08:11I trusted you.
01:08:15You're my ex, Ryder.
01:08:18My ex.
01:08:19You broke my heart.
01:08:21And then you wiggle your way back into my life for what?
01:08:25Some sick, twisted game?
01:08:27Some fantasy that you didn't get to fulfill?
01:08:29No, no, no.
01:08:30I'm not a toy!
01:08:31Ryder, I'm a person!
01:08:33No.
01:08:33With feelings!
01:08:35And you don't get to come in here and manipulate me just because you have the power to!
01:08:38Listen.
01:08:39I just wanted you to be happy.
01:08:40That's all I've ever wanted for you, Astrid.
01:08:42Yeah.
01:08:43Manipulating me and lying behind my back?
01:08:45That was thrilling for me, Ryder.
01:08:47Thank you!
01:08:49No, no.
01:08:50Don't touch me!
01:09:00Dad, she sent hitmen after me.
01:09:04This woman is psychotic!
01:09:05She tried to kill me!
01:09:07And then Ryder showed up, but Clyde is Ryder, which I feel so dumb for not seeing literally
01:09:12the moment that I saw him.
01:09:14And I'm just angry!
01:09:16Like, so angry!
01:09:17And Adam knew this whole time he's been working for Ryder and he didn't tell me!
01:09:22Wow.
01:09:23That's a lot.
01:09:26Yeah.
01:09:32What are you thinking?
01:09:35How do you feel?
01:09:37I don't know.
01:09:40Confused, I guess?
01:09:42Like, why would Ryder break up with me just to come back into my life under a different
01:09:46name?
01:09:46That makes no sense!
01:09:48Would talking to Adam maybe provide you a little insight, maybe?
01:09:52I guess.
01:09:53But I'm mad at him!
01:09:55He was been working for Ryder this whole time and didn't tell me he knew!
01:09:59He may have a perfectly sound explanation, but if not, then leave.
01:10:04Find another nice place elsewhere.
01:10:07Yeah, I guess.
01:10:11Thanks, Jeff.
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.
01:10:18You're always welcome in my house.
01:10:21Thanks.
01:10:25Love you.
01:10:28Your wife's sick.
01:10:33Hey, yeah.
01:10:33I was wondering if you could look into something for me, please.
01:10:37Can you look up, uh, Candace Margaret Diane?
01:10:44About your inquiry the other day, Mr. Van Woodson, Candace Margaret Diane does not exist.
01:10:49What?
01:10:49We did find out some other information for you.
01:10:51No.
01:10:51Are you serious?
01:10:54What?
01:10:55Oh.
01:11:06What was I just doing?
01:11:08What was I doing?
01:11:09What was I doing?
01:11:12Um.
01:11:17Hey, Adam.
01:11:18Can you come in here, please?
01:11:21Yeah.
01:11:24Can you, uh...
01:11:25Can you just briefly in my last few meetings today?
01:11:28Ryder, 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.
01:11:40About three in the afternoon.
01:11:42Well, with the thing with Astrid?
01:11:44My Astrid.
01:11:47Okay, I think maybe we're gonna get you to the doctor.
01:11:49Something's not right with you.
01:11:53Hey, Ryder.
01:11:53We gotta go to our next meeting now.
01:11:56What?
01:11:58Ryder, what?
01:11:59What's going on?
01:12:00Ma'am, Ryder's confused.
01:12:01He hasn't remembered any of his morning.
01:12:04It's okay.
01:12:05What's going on?
01:12:11Oh, Ryder.
01:12:12Okay.
01:12:13Okay.
01:12:13Okay.
01:12:14Okay.
01:12:14He's having an episode.
01:12:16We need to go to the ER now.
01:12:18Okay.
01:12:19Now!
01:12:19Call them now!
01:12:21Hang on.
01:12:22Hang on, Ryder.
01:12:23It's gonna be alright.
01:12:24Okay.
01:12:25Hang on, baby.
01:12:26Hang on.
01:12:28Helen, what's happening to Ryder?
01:12:30He hasn't been taking his medication.
01:12:33Come on.
01:12:35Hurry!
01:12:40Adam?
01:12:42What are you doing here?
01:12:43Astrid.
01:12:44Hey.
01:12:45Did you come back for Ryder?
01:12:47But no, I was visiting my dad.
01:12:49Is Ryder here?
01:12:50Did he follow me here?
01:12:52Oh.
01:12:54Oh?
01:12:56Oh, Adam?
01:12:57I need answers from you!
01:12:58Why is Ryder at 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.
01:13:14What?
01:13:15Why?
01:13:23He has a brain tumor, Astrid.
01:13:31We didn't realize it until he was about to graduate high school, around the same time that you two broke
01:13:36up.
01:13:38But...
01:13:39His brain functioning has been affecting him since he was 13 years old.
01:13:44Memory loss, headaches, confusion, slow metabolism, medication problems, seizures.
01:13:53It's just been...
01:13:54It's been awful.
01:13:56Oh my god.
01:13:59So that's why?
01:14:01He had a brain tumor?
01:14:05He hasn't been capable of any long-term relationships.
01:14:12But...
01:14:16He loved you, Astrid.
01:14:20He still does.
01:14:26Will you wait for him?
01:14:29Will you wait...
01:14:30Till he wakes up?
01:14:32Yeah.
01:14:33When or...
01:14:34If he wakes up?
01:14:38I'm sure he'd good luck to see you.
01:14:41Yeah.
01:14:43Yeah, 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.
01:15:01For not telling you about Ryder.
01:15:04About him pretending to be Clyde and trying to get close to you.
01:15:08I was the one that instigated the roommate living situation.
01:15:16Fuck you, Adam.
01:15:18You should've told me.
01:15:30Do you know why he did it?
01:15:33Why he 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.
01:15:45You'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.
01:15:56Okay, baby.
01:16:10Why the...
01:16:12Honey, it's mommy.
01:16:15It's mommy, I'm here.
01:16:18I don't think I really believed it until right now.
01:16:30I'm so sorry for being so angry at you.
01:16:37I don't understand why you lied to me, but at this point it really doesn't matter.
01:16:45Just please come back.
01:16:48Hi.
01:17:01I think I'm going to see my dad. Really quick, he's just down the hall. Will you call me if
01:17:06I need anything?
01:17:07Okay, sweetheart. Thanks for being here.
01:17:10Of course.
01:17:36Good!
01:17:41You're finally awake!
01:17:45What do you want?
01:17:47God, you're useless! You're just a waste of space!
01:17:53I've been trying to tell you for years to stay out of my way.
01:17:59And what do you consistently do? You get in my way!
01:18:04You got Gina, my only chance at Reiner's fortune, injuring my family in jail!
01:18:15It was you! You were the one that started the fire!
01:18:23Hey. You want to go get something to eat?
01:18:27Okay.
01:18:40How is your boyfriend doing?
01:18:42I hear he has a little issue with his brain. A pesky little tumor, right?
01:18:49How did you know that?
01:18:50I have friends.
01:18:51Sure would be a shame if someone were to leak that the grand billionaire CEO of Van Woodson Fortune has
01:18:58been sick this entire time?
01:19:00Oh, what would that do to his business?
01:19:05What do you want?
01:19:08I get what I've always wanted.
01:19:10What you and your father could never give me, as much as I forced you both!
01:19:17Forced us?
01:19:18Ha!
01:19:20Who do you think introduced you to Reiner, sweetheart?
01:19:24That wasn't a chance meeting. I orchestrated it.
01:19:28Hoping that you or Gina would be smart enough to latch onto him!
01:19:32And all you had to do was keep him around!
01:19:35But you were so worthless he couldn't even stand to stay with you!
01:19:40But something changed. He came back to you!
01:19:44My luck changed!
01:19:46You've been after Ryder's business this whole time?
01:19:50I know potential when I see it.
01:19:52And you don't have it.
01:19:55So you set my house on fire to kill me?!
01:19:58I always get what I want, don't I?
01:20:03Now, you are going to marry Ryder and give me the business shares.
01:20:08Or his business goes up in flames.
01:20:14Because if I can't have it, no one can.
01:20:25They know what they're doing, they know what they're doing, they'll give him what he needs.
01:20:32You're a psycho!
01:20:34And you're dead!
01:20:38So what's it gonna be, dear daughter?
01:20:44This should be an easy decision.
01:20:46You get to spend your life with the man of your dreams!
01:20:51Well, until he dies of cancer.
01:20:56Give me the money and the revenue!
01:21:00Or you die the way you were supposed to anyway.
01:21:04No.
01:21:08No.
01:21:09No.
01:21:10No!
01:21:11I would rather die than betray Ryder.
01:21:14He doesn't deserve it.
01:21:16I won't let you!
01:21:17Ah!
01:21:19Are you okay?
01:21:20Yeah?
01:21:24What the fuck?!
01:21:26Why are you here?!
01:21:27How are you?!
01:21:28Phyllis Gray, you are wanted for murder and now attempted murder.
01:21:31How did you?!
01:21:31I put the pieces together when you threatened Astrid at Gina's wedding.
01:21:34I hired a PI to look into you, that's your real name, isn't it?
01:21:36You're a sick woman jumping from family to family, destroying them from the inside out, just to get a little
01:21:41side cash.
01:21:42Huh?
01:21:42You have quite the record of fires starting in your homes.
01:21:44I did what I had to!
01:21:46To survive!
01:21:47It's-it's me and Gina against the world!
01:21:50What's a mother to do?!
01:21:53I didn't just kill you when you were young and I had the chance!
01:21:57You know, when you married my dad, I really thought we were going to be a family.
01:22:02Now I know how wrong I was.
01:22:07Wait!
01:22:08Wait, no!
01:22:09No!
01:22:10We could come to some sort of an agreement!
01:22:12We don't ever have to see one another again!
01:22:15Please, have fun in jail.
01:22:21Oh no!
01:22:29Ryder, we're ready for your surgery.
01:22:39See you guys on the other side, huh?
01:22:45I love you.
01:22:49I'll see you guys soon.
01:22:51But I need a moment to talk with Astrid.
01:23:01We can talk when your surgery's over.
01:23:05You know I might not make it back.
01:23:09I owe you an explanation.
01:23:15I broke up with you because I didn't want you to be with a man who's going to be sick.
01:23:22Someone who'd forget things 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...
01:23:31I didn't want that for you Astrid.
01:23:36Then I saw you again and I thought, you know, one conversation canter.
01:23:43One more chance to help you find and feel better.
01:23:49One more chance to hear your voice.
01:23:53One more chance to be around you.
01:23:55One more chance to be around you.
01:23:59And then I heard about you needing a place to stay and your financial struggles and I thought...
01:24:07Well, if I could help you while I still can.
01:24:10Maybe that's a way I could be with you.
01:24:13Without actually being with you.
01:24:18Then if I died, if this disease took me at the very least, I could die happy knowing that you
01:24:22were taken care of.
01:24:26Then I could spend my last few days with you.
01:24:31I know it was selfish of me.
01:24:34But I don't regret it.
01:24:38Every second with you is giving me one more chance to hold on a little longer.
01:24:44You're not going anywhere.
01:24:49Astrid.
01:24:52I've never loved anyone else.
01:24:55And you are it.
01:24:57And I'm so sorry for lying to you.
01:25:00I am.
01:25:05But I don't regret it.
01:25:08Not one second.
01:25:10I'd do it all over again.
01:25:20I'm so sorry.
01:25:22For you.
01:25:36I love you, sweetheart.
01:25:38Me too, Dad.
01:25:40I love you.
01:25:46I love you.
01:25:50I love you, sweetheart.
01:25:53Me too, Dad.
01:25:54Who said I wasn't coming?
01:25:55Ryder!
01:25:56What are you doing here?
01:25:57I wouldn't miss this for the world, business trippy Dan.
01:26:01I was actually wondering if I could steal her for a little bit.
01:26:04Sure, sure.
01:26:05Don't let me get in your way.
01:26:06I have something to show you out back.
01:26:08Okay.
01:26:14Astrid, there's not been a single day since I've met you that I've not thought about you.
01:26:19My love and adoration for you continues to be a shining light I hope I will always be able to
01:26:24see.
01:26:28Astrid, meeting you has been nothing short of divine, destiny, fate, or I wish upon a star would be you
01:26:37that I see looking back at me.
01:26:43Astrid, will you marry me?
01:26:44Yes!
