02:10you
02:12you
02:12you
02:27you
02:28I don't know.
02:59I don't know.
03:36I don't know.
03:42I don't know.
03:49Hey, Sharon?
03:51It's Adam.
03:52I'm guessing you didn't answer the phone because you don't recognize the number.
03:55I'm calling you from my hotel room.
03:57And I hope that you hear this.
04:00Um, Nick and I had a run-in with Matt Clark.
04:04We're both fine, but he took our phones.
04:07So, whatever you do, don't reply to any calls or texts.
04:12Chances are it's him pretending to be us.
04:15Now, we're hoping to have him handled soon, but as of right now, that creep is still on the loose.
04:19So, you and Noah and Sienna, you need to stay in General City, where Newman Security can keep you safe.
04:27This is the definition of middle of nowhere.
04:33Dad said in his text, the place they were keeping Matt was on the outskirts of Vegas.
04:39Well, this is the way outskirts.
04:42I haven't seen another car in miles.
04:45And still no signal.
04:47You trying to get the Sienna?
04:49I was trying to call the ad again, let him know we're close.
04:51Well, it shouldn't be too long now before we're with him.
04:56And with any luck, hopefully we'll arrive in time to see Matt get what he deserves.
05:15Now, I'm not sure another Mexican mocha is going to stop your head from spinning.
05:21At this point, I'm getting hurt.
05:29You know, I've always prided myself on playing it cool, having it all together.
05:37But these last couple of days, I feel like my stomach's been twisted up in knots.
05:44It's not surprising considering everything that's been thrown at you.
05:47It's more than that.
05:50It's the guilt.
05:53I finally have a dad, and the first thing I do is let him down.
05:59It's not your fault that you're not a match for Malcolm's bone marrow transplant.
06:04And logically, I know that.
06:06It's just, I don't even know the guy, and I feel like I've already fallen short as his son.
06:14You can't beat yourself up over something you have no control over.
06:18But, well, you know the part that really gets me.
06:22Is that I keep hearing what a great guy Malcolm is, and how everyone loves him.
06:28And I can't help but be disappointed in the fact that he wasn't around to be my dad, and that
06:35I totally missed out.
06:38And so did he.
06:40Which is probably why I bought that.
06:50What is it?
06:52You can look, but try not to laugh.
07:03Two baseball gloves?
07:06There is a, there's a baseball in there too.
07:09I know, I know, I know, it's crazy.
07:16I was, uh, I was in the park this morning, and I saw a dad playing baseball with his son.
07:27And I realized how much I've always wanted that.
07:32You know, I wanted to play catch with my dad.
07:38I guess I just thought that, you know, maybe if Malcolm came to town, or if I went up to
07:43see him, we could...
07:47Look, I...
07:48I don't know what's wrong with me, Claire.
07:53It's your dad.
07:57I get it, okay?
07:59I, you start on a lot of time with my dad too.
08:02But you're lucky, you know, Malcolm's still here.
08:06You can have a relationship with him if that's what you want.
08:12You're right.
08:14I should be grateful for that.
08:17And what about your mom? You still not taking her calls?
08:20Well, I was actually with her when I got the results that I wasn't a match.
08:25You know, it's weird, because as much as I feel like I let Malcolm down, I also feel like she
08:35let me down.
08:37And I'm really pissed at her for keeping this secret.
08:41And all those times going on as a kid, how I wish I had a dad like everybody else, she
08:48knew.
08:51And she never said a word.
08:55I don't get how you can keep something this big from me, and I'm not sure I'll ever be okay
09:00with that.
09:07You know, I really don't appreciate you instrapping on my conversation.
09:11Hey, boy, I wasn't, I wasn't doing that intentionally.
09:16Are you okay?
09:19Yes, I am fine.
09:21Hey, don't, don't, don't go.
09:23Just look at me.
09:23What's, what's going on with Malcolm?
09:26This doesn't concern you.
09:27I mean, why do you even care?
09:29I was a part of your family once.
09:32And they were a part of mine.
09:33And I know how much Malcolm's done for the twins and how much he means to you and them.
09:36So if there's something that he needs, then just tell me.
09:40No, it's okay.
09:40We will handle it.
09:42I'm just saying, maybe there's something I can do.
09:44I have some resources.
09:45Look, I really appreciate you trying to help, but we don't need anything from you.
09:51Okay, well, with all due respect, it sounds like Malcolm needs all the help he can get.
09:54So are you really willing to turn me away when there might actually be something?
09:58There might be something I can do.
10:02Okay, according to Dad's texts, we're about 15 minutes from the place they're holding Matt.
10:07So five miles on this road, left at the traffic light, then another 10 miles after that.
10:14Your dad was specific.
10:17They must have known that we would be out of range and we wouldn't be able to call him.
10:23I suppose.
10:27What?
10:29I don't know.
10:30You know, it just didn't seem like Dad to have us go this long without being able to touch base.
10:34Well, I'm sure he and Adam have their hands full, Matt.
10:38Maybe.
10:41Something about this whole setup has suddenly given me a very bad feeling.
11:07Nick, are you okay in there?
11:11Yeah.
11:13Yeah, I'm good.
11:16I'll be out in a minute.
11:23You're worried about what Nick is doing in there, aren't you?
11:48I'm wondering what happened to you.
11:50What are you doing back here?
11:52I came to get an update.
11:55I found my brother.
11:57Good news.
11:58Was he okay?
12:00He was alive.
12:02Fortunately, Matt managed to get away.
12:08Have you heard from Matt?
12:11Why would I hear from Matt?
12:13You tell me.
12:16Hard to know who we're talking about here.
12:18I knew the guy as Mitch.
12:20Then he asked me to start calling him Ronnie.
12:22Now you two keep referring to him as Matt.
12:25Why don't you just answer the question?
12:28No.
12:29I haven't talked to Matt.
12:32Maybe he came up with a new alias and decided to go off and start a new life.
12:40Want something else you want to know?
12:42Yeah.
12:44Why are you lying to us?
12:51Well, I've already unloaded all my feelings.
12:54The last thing that I want to do is start spilling about the anger I have towards my mom.
13:01You're hit with a lot.
13:02You just need some time to let it all sink in and process it.
13:09Feels like I've been doing nothing but processing.
13:12But this must be what therapy feels like, huh?
13:16Just dissecting every part of your life until you're absolutely sick of yourself.
13:21Sometimes it helps to do that.
13:23I just want to escape from it.
13:26That can be good too, depending on how you do it.
13:30How about lunch?
13:32Food is a great distraction.
13:34I mean with you.
13:37Do you want to join me?
13:40You mean right now?
13:42Look.
13:44I know that you're putting some distance between us since that second trip to L.A.
13:49And I also know that you don't fully trust me because you think I'm keeping secrets.
13:55But just for today, would you be willing to put that aside so that we could share a meal together?
14:05I have set some boundaries about us getting closer.
14:10But however I feel about you keeping secrets, especially secrets that really have nothing to do with me.
14:17It doesn't mean that we can't still be friends.
14:20And I would never kick a man while he's down or reeling like you are.
14:27So, is that a yes?
14:29Absolutely.
14:35Still feeling uneasy, aren't you?
14:39I'm okay.
14:41From the time that you could form words, you have never been this quiet in the car.
14:47So, why don't you tell me what's bothering you?
14:52I just keep thinking about that night.
14:54I walked out on Dad, standing over Matt, knocked out in the trunk of his car.
14:59I kept telling him that we had to call the cops, but he wouldn't listen.
15:06Your dad was very frustrated that the police weren't able to rein Matt in.
15:12So, that means it's okay for him to take the law into his own hands?
15:15I'm not excusing your dad's behavior.
15:20Dad said that we should come if we wanted to see Matt go down.
15:24Which could mean he's planning on turning him into the authorities.
15:28Do you seriously believe that's why he had us come out to this remote location?
15:32Now, you and I both know the reason we got on that plane was because we are afraid Dad and
15:38Adam are planning to take care of Matt themselves without the authorities involved.
15:44I tried to warn you, Dad, that he and Adam would be wise to involve the police, but he made
15:51it clear the authorities would be of no use to them.
15:56Well, given what had happened before, when Matt was released after all he'd done.
16:03But if Dad and Uncle Adam hurt Matt, or worse...
16:08Yeah, I know, I'm worried too.
16:11They could be the ones who suffer in the end.
16:18If you know something, Reza...
16:20What's with the third degree? I came here to get the lowdown from you.
16:23No, you didn't.
16:24You came here so you could report back to Matt.
16:27You heard from him, and you know what he's planning.
16:30Is that why you're here?
16:31To spy on us? For that creep?
16:34You and your girlfriend have some wild imagination.
16:37You claim that you're here to help. Are you here to help us?
16:40Or are you here to help Matt?
16:44Which one is it?
16:46Whose side are you on?
16:51I'm sorry for how I reacted.
16:56I do appreciate you offering to help Malcolm, so thank you.
17:01I would do anything for you, Lily.
17:03You know that.
17:07Why are you being so nice to me?
17:10What?
17:13Maybe I'm just trying to make up for past mistakes.
17:17Yeah, but I haven't exactly made it easy on you.
17:21And you never give up.
17:23I mean, even when I let you think that the kids and I have been kidnapped,
17:27you told me that you never wanted to see me again.
17:29And then...
17:32Here you are, offering to help me.
17:37I want you to hear me when I say this, okay?
17:42I don't care about anything that's happened in the past.
17:45I can see that you're sad.
17:47And scared.
17:48And you feel like you have nowhere to turn.
17:50I want you to know that I'm here for you.
17:57I am scared.
18:01Because I don't know what's going to happen to Malcolm, and I want to save him.
18:05Okay.
18:06So then, talk to me.
18:10What does Malcolm need?
18:16I know you said you needed an escape, but you didn't tell me if they'd found a match for Malcolm.
18:22Oh, not that I'm aware of, no.
18:24Unless I heard, neither of Lily's kids are a match.
18:27Oh, I'm sorry.
18:28It's not over yet.
18:31For all I know, they found a match and forgot to tell me.
18:35Why would they?
18:36You know, Malcolm and I just found out that we're related.
18:39It's not like I expect to be added to the winner's Christmas exchange.
18:43Even if we are technically family.
18:48What is this?
18:51My mom is over there.
18:56You know, maybe we should just go.
18:58Go say hi.
19:00Come on.
19:06Hey.
19:07I saw you two when you came in, and I was going to wave you over, but I thought you
19:12might need some space.
19:13Well, this is my friend, Claire Newman.
19:17Claire, this is my mom.
19:19Hello, Claire.
19:20Hi.
19:20It is so nice to finally meet you, Dr. Simmons.
19:23Please, call me Stephanie.
19:25Okay.
19:27So, what brings you two here today?
19:29We came for lunch.
19:32You're welcome to join us if you want.
19:35No, thanks.
19:35I just finished.
19:36Try the fish tacos.
19:37They're delicious.
19:39Oh, my gosh.
19:39They're my favorite.
19:43How long have you and Holden known each other?
19:47Well, Claire knows what's going on.
19:50So, you've heard about my big confession.
19:52I did.
19:53But she was also kept in the dark about her biological parents until later in life.
20:00Is that right?
20:02Was your situation similar to Holden's?
20:05If so, how did you feel when you learned about her life?
20:13It must have been more than unsettling to see Matt unconscious in the trunk of her dad's car.
20:22I think what bothered me more than anything was how unlike dad it was to do something so reckless.
20:29But he's human.
20:31And if anyone has pushed his empathy to the limit, it is Matt Clark.
21:07And that's what worries me.
21:08It's not fair.
21:09It's not fair.
21:10As much as I don't regret my relationship with Sienna, I have a lot of guilt about the fact that
21:17it brought Matt back into your lives.
21:20You were in Matt's sights a long time before you and Sienna got together.
21:26He was just waiting for the right time to strike.
21:30Can I be honest?
21:33As your mother, I wouldn't expect you to be anything less.
21:39As much as I'm hoping dad and Adam don't do anything crazy that'll put them at risk with the law,
21:47if they are playing vigilante, there's part of me that would love to lend a hand at taking that bastard
21:52down.
21:53Noah, please, I need you to help me talk to your dad and Adam out of doing something extreme, if
22:02it comes to that.
22:04Okay.
22:04Okay, I'll keep a level head no matter what we walk in on, as long as you do the same.
22:10Because, Mom, you're no better than Dad when it comes to taking matters into your own hands.
22:15I just wish we were already there.
22:19Still no signal?
22:21Nope.
22:23And the more time that passes without us being able to reach Dad, the more I worry about what might
22:28have already happened.
22:34I don't want to believe that you would do something like that.
22:37Not after everything we've been through together.
22:42You're acting like I'm the one that broke your trust when you're the one who did that.
22:48I believed you when you came here, spilling your sob story about how your family lost everything, begging me to
22:55let you back in the game.
22:57Malcolm, I didn't know you were just using me to get to Matt.
23:01Look, I could not take the chance that you were working with Matt.
23:05And if you still are, you would be wise to come clean about that.
23:10Just tell me the truth, are you helping him set us all up?
23:15I wouldn't mind hearing the answer to that myself.
23:23Malcolm is sick and he has a condition called a plastic anemia.
23:35Which is what, exactly?
23:39It's a disease that requires bone marrow donation.
23:45And it's curable, but only if it's dressed early.
23:52So that's why Stephanie's here, dropping this news on everyone.
23:56Because she wants to see if Holden's a match.
23:59Yeah, and she's Malcolm's doctor, so she felt like she had no choice.
24:05What about you?
24:09I can't donate because of my past cancer treatment.
24:15Okay.
24:19And from how upset you were on the phone, I'm guessing Holden's not a match.
24:26No.
24:27Neither are the twins.
24:31So what happens next then?
24:33I mean, if nobody in the family's a match, he just gets added to the National Registry.
24:39Yeah.
24:40I mean, right now that's his only option.
24:44Which I don't want to do because it could take months or years for him to find someone.
24:49And that's why I feel like I have to do everything in my power to find someone who can help
24:53him.
24:53I'll do it.
24:57What do you mean?
24:57You'll do what?
24:59I'll do it.
25:00I'll get tested for you.
25:04I mean, I know it's a long shot, but it can't hurt to try.
25:15Are you serious?
25:18Yeah, why not?
25:21I can't ask you to do that.
25:23Well, you're not asking me.
25:24I'm offering.
25:26And look, considering nobody in Malcolm's family is a match, the chances of me being one are probably not very
25:33good, but it's worth a shot.
25:36So I'll do it.
25:38No, I mean, that would be amazing, but do you know what this entails?
25:43Because you would have to undergo surgery to remove stem cells.
25:48Okay, well, I could use a few hours while I'm interrupted sleep.
25:52This isn't a joke, Kane.
25:53This is a really big deal.
25:54I don't think it is.
25:56If I can help, I want to help.
26:00I don't...
26:02I don't know what to say.
26:03Well, before you say anything, I want to be very clear about something.
26:09I'm not doing this to win you over, Lily.
26:13I mean, do I want that?
26:14Sure.
26:16I'll always want that.
26:19But that's not what this is about.
26:21Then what is it about?
26:24Doing something good for someone I think deserves it.
26:28And regardless of what Malcolm thinks of me, I think that he is a good and decent man.
26:37And I know that he means the world to the twins and to you.
26:41And I think he deserves to live a long and happy life.
26:47He does.
26:51And because of your dad.
26:57I know that we were estranged when he passed.
27:01But I always got the feeling.
27:04I get the feeling.
27:06That you never got over how sudden his passing actually was.
27:12So if by some miracle.
27:14I am the one that ends up saving Malcolm.
27:18I hope it will help heal.
27:22Your regret over not being able to save your father.
27:29That was my first thought when Malcolm told me he was sick.
27:37Was that maybe if I could help save him, it would make up for not being able to save my
27:43dad.
27:44But like, how did you know that?
27:48It's you.
27:51How could I not know it?
27:57Forgive me.
27:58That was way too personal of a question to ask someone that I just met.
28:03I'm going to agree with you on that.
28:05I suppose I was just curious to learn.
28:08How long does someone stay mad at the person who lied to them?
28:12Come on.
28:13Mom.
28:13No, I'm sure that you had your reasons for not telling Holden Ababa's father.
28:17Well, you don't have to make excuses for me.
28:19I own what I did, and what I did was lie.
28:24I kept the truth from my son and his father, and by doing so, I ended up hurting both of
28:30them.
28:32Well, I'm just glad that Holden has a chance to get to know his father now.
28:37Even if it is a little late in the game.
28:40Again, I'm sorry for that.
28:44I know.
28:47Thank you for understanding and for being there for my son.
28:52Yeah, well, he's been there for me, too.
28:55Wait a minute.
28:57You wouldn't happen to be the young lady that went to Los Angeles with him.
29:03Actually, she is.
29:05I heard you two had a fabulous time.
29:08Oh, yeah.
29:08Your son is an incredible tour guide and a very charming host.
29:14I wouldn't argue with that.
29:16But I will also be honest and say I wish my son would quit being so charming and find the
29:22right person to settle down with.
29:24Okay, Mom.
29:25We don't need to get into that right now.
29:28Excuse me.
29:34Um, looks like I have to go.
29:36Claire, it was nice meeting you.
29:41I hope we can catch up later.
29:52I don't know why any of us trusted her this long.
29:56Look, I already told you what kind of man Matt is.
30:00If you are working for him against us, I guarantee you it is not going to end well for you.
30:05You're trying to scare me into doing what you want, but I don't owe you or anybody else in this
30:09room a damn thing.
30:10You're right.
30:10You don't.
30:11But you obviously feel like you owe Matt.
30:13Given he's your business partner, you have more incentive to keep him happy than you do us.
30:19Unbelievable.
30:21I came here to help, and from the moment I've walked in, I've been treated like I'm the bad guy.
30:26I don't need this.
30:26Hey, listen to me.
30:29Just stop the BS and tell us the truth.
30:34If you don't, the three of us are going to make your life extremely uncomfortable.
30:49So, how do you feel after seeing your mom?
30:53It wasn't so bad.
30:55I have to give you credit for as angry as I know you are with her.
30:58You were pretty nice.
31:00Well, I don't have it in me to be mean to her.
31:02She was a very, very good mom and an even better person.
31:06The fact that she decided to blow all this up now just to save a guy who she hasn't seen
31:11in decades,
31:13that's proof that her heart is in the right place.
31:18So, anger aside, I can't deny that.
31:23You remember Stephanie Simmons, Holden's mom?
31:26It's nice to see you again.
31:27Good to see you, too.
31:28Call me later.
31:29We can talk in private.
31:30No, no, no.
31:31Kane knows everything.
31:32He's actually the potential donor that I texted you about.
31:35Really?
31:36Yeah.
31:36Well, that comes as a surprise.
31:38Well, I have a lot of respect for Malcolm, so I'd be honored to get tested for him.
31:43Is there any way that we can expedite the results?
31:46Absolutely.
31:47I'll call and arrange it now.
31:49Okay.
31:52I can't tell you how grateful I am that you're willing to do this.
31:57Let's just hope for the best.
31:59We're good.
32:02I guess that's my cue to have to the lab.
32:05Kane.
32:18Okay.
32:20You're clearly all betting I know something I'm not telling you.
32:24Hmm?
32:25But even if that were the case, you know the score of Spider.
32:29Do you want me to show my cards?
32:31Got to put something up first.
32:33I knew it.
32:35I didn't admit to a damn thing.
32:37But if I were in a position to betray my partner, what would be in it for me?
32:42Why are we even negotiating with this woman?
32:45Because I'm the one with everything to lose.
32:47Starting with my business alliance.
32:49I've got all my chips in one pot, and I'm not willing to just fold.
32:53You say everything's at stake for your family?
32:55If I turn on Matt, Ronnie, Mitch, whatever, everything I've built goes down in flames.
33:04Leaving me with nothing.
33:06And if what you say is true, and the guy is psychotic, telling you anything means risking my life, too.
33:19This is definitely not what I expected.
33:21This looks like it's been abandoned for years.
33:25Check your dad's directions again.
33:27Make sure this is the right place.
33:31Yes, the address dad sent me.
33:33Same name.
33:35I am not getting a good vibe at all.
33:38Yeah.
33:39Now you know how I've been feeling the last hour.
33:42I'm going to call Nicholas again.
33:45Stallone?
33:46No.
33:50What do you think?
33:52Should we go in?
33:53Or not?
33:55No.
33:56No.
33:57No.
33:59No.
34:00No.
34:02No.
34:03No.
34:09Did I miss something?
34:12Well, I mean, you heard your mom.
34:14She thinks that you should find the right one and settle down.
34:18Doesn't really sound like you, though.
34:21She's been trying to get me to the altar my whole life.
34:25Seriously?
34:26Yeah.
34:26I remember how sure she was that I was going to marry the girl next door.
34:31What was her name?
34:34Wendy.
34:35Wendy.
34:36Wendy Applebaum.
34:38Wendy Applebaum.
34:41Mom would always have me take stuff over to Mrs. Applebaum's house every single time
34:45she saw Wendy playing outside.
34:48So was Wendy the one who got away?
34:52Wendy moved away when we were in second grade.
34:56Yeah.
34:57Never heard from her again.
34:59Which is probably for the best because I am just about as ready to settle down now as
35:05I was then.
35:06I totally get that.
35:07Huh.
35:11You know, I remember you telling me one of the reasons that things didn't work out with
35:17Kyle was because he was ready to take the next step and you weren't.
35:23And there was Audra, but yeah, Kyle was ready for the white picket fence and I thought that
35:31was a good idea, too.
35:32But then I realized that I wanted to experience more of life first.
35:38It's not just you about finding the right person.
35:41Timing is important, too.
35:43Exactly.
35:44And I guess when those two factors are in sync, you just know.
35:53Well, I guess you do.
36:02Well, I'm saying, despite you two being divorced, Payne clearly still cares about you.
36:12What makes you say that?
36:15Seriously, the man isn't even related to Malcolm, so it's obvious to me that no matter how he
36:22came to the decision to get tested, he's doing it for one person.
36:28You.
36:32If you will help us get to Matt, we will protect you from him.
36:36I'm not so sure you can deliver on that promise.
36:39Even if you do catch Matt, how can you be sure he won't retaliate?
36:43You leave that to us.
36:46If you help us, you will be safe and you will never see him again.
36:56Vegas is starting to wear on me.
37:00I definitely want to relocate, change my name, get a whole new life.
37:06We can arrange that.
37:08It'll cost you.
37:09You can literally name your price.
37:16Maybe we should just turn around and find a place that does have signal and try your dad again.
37:22Maybe.
37:23But don't you think you'd at least be outside waiting for us or come out to greet us?
37:28I don't see any other cars.
37:30Maybe they parked around back.
37:33All right, let me go check.
37:34Wait, what do you want?
37:39Don't scream, Sharon.
37:40It's just me.
37:40It's your old pal, Matt.
37:43I am so happy to see both of you.
37:46The anticipation has just been killing me.
37:49Another world together.
37:52Welcome to hell.
37:54The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
38:01the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
38:01the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the.
