01:37all right love you too
01:50all right
01:56did i just hear you say that malcolm is sick
01:58all right
02:07so
04:42I haven't seen another car in miles.
04:45And still no signal.
04:47You're 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.
04:55And 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 always prided myself on playing it cool, having it all together.
05:37But these, 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 more than that.
05:51It's the guilt.
05:52I 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.
06:19Well, 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.
06:35And that I totally missed out.
06:38And so did he.
06:40Which is, 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.
07:11I know.
07:12It's crazy.
07:16It 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.
07:46Look, I, I don't know what's wrong with me, Claire.
07:53It's your dad.
07:58I get it, okay?
07:59I, I, you started on a lot of time with my dad too.
08:02But you're lucky.
08:04You 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?
08:18You still not taking her calls?
08:20Well, I was actually with her when I got the results that I wasn't a match.
08:25And, uh, you know, it's weird because as much as I feel like I let Malcolm down, I also feel
08:35like she let me down.
08:37And I'm really pissed at her for keeping this secret.
08:42All those times going on as a kid, how I wish I had a dad like everybody else, she knew.
08:51And she never said a word.
08:55I don't get how you can keep something this big from me.
08:59And I'm not sure I'll ever be okay with 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.
09:21Me, don't, don't, don't go.
09:22Just look at me, what'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.
09:54Okay, so are you really willing to turn me away when there might actually 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.
10:30It 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.
10:37Matt.
10:39Maybe.
10:41Just something about this whole setup has suddenly given me a very bad feeling.
11:03Nick, 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?
11:49I was wondering what happened to you.
11:50What are you doing back here?
11:52I came to get an update.
11:55I found my brother.
11:57That's good 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.
12:31Maybe 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.
13:00You'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?
13:44Look, I 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?
13:58So 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,
14:17doesn'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?
15:32You and I both know the reason we got on that plane was because we are afraid Dad and Adam
15:38are 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.
15:50Yes, but he made it 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. You 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? To 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?
17:41I 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
18:03and 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,
18:18but 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 it?
18:51My mom is over there.
18:56You know, maybe we should just go.
18:58Go say hi.
19:00Come on.
19:05Hey.
19:07I saw you two when you came in
19:09and I was going to wave you over,
19:11but I thought you might 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.
19:24Call 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.
19:38They'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 the lie?
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.
20:39That's what worries me.
20:41I mean, Dad's been erratic enough lately.
20:43It's like something snapped after the accident.
20:45I noticed that, too.
20:48And knowing that he has Matt now, I don't even want to think about how far he might go to
20:51pay him back for all the hell that he's put the two of you through.
20:55Not just us.
20:56You as well.
20:57You know how protective he is.
20:59I know.
21:00And I feel horrible about that, too.
21:03Why?
21:03That's what fathers do.
21:05No, I'm not talking about Dad being protective.
21:07I'm talking about the affair.
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.
21:25He 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 a part of me that would love to lend a hand to taking that
21:52bastard down.
21:53Noah, please.
21:55I need you to help me talk to your dad and Adam out of doing something extreme, if it comes
22:03to that.
22:03Okay.
22:04Okay.
22:05I'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.
22:23Nope.
22:23I mean, the more time that passes without us being able to reach Dad, the more I worry about what
22:28might have 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.
22:49I believed you when you came here.
22:51Spilling your sob story about how your family lost everything.
22:55Begging me to let you back in the game.
22:57I 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.
23:09Just tell me the truth.
23:11Are you helping him set us all up?
23:14I wouldn't mind hearing the answer to that myself.
23:23Um...
23:24Malcolm is...
23:26sick.
23:28And he has a condition called aplastic 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.
23:54Dropping this news on everyone.
23:56Because she wants to see if Holden's a match.
23:59Yeah, and she's Malcolm's doctor.
24:01So she felt like she had no choice.
24:05Well, what about you?
24:08I can't donate because of my past cancer treatment.
24:14Okay.
24:18And...
24:19judging 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,
24:35he 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.
25:03I mean, I know it's a long shot, but...
25:06Can'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,
25:31the chances of me being one are probably not very good,
25:34but it's worth a shot, so I'll do it.
25:38No, I mean, that would be amazing,
25:40but 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.
26:04Well, before you say anything,
26:05I 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.
26:21What the hell is it about?
26:24Doing something good for someone I think deserves it.
26:28And regardless of what Malcolm thinks of me,
26:31I 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.
26:52And because of your dad.
26:57About my dad.
26:59I know that we were estranged when he passed, but I always got the feeling.
27:04I get the feeling that you never got over how sudden his passing actually was.
27:12So if by some miracle, I am the one that ends up saving Malcolm.
27:18I hope it will help you.
27:22You 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?
27:47It's you.
27:51How can I not know?
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?
28:12Mom. Mom.
28:13No, I'm sure that you had your reasons.
28:15For not telling Holden about his father.
28:17No, 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.
28:33Well, 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.
28:43I 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, but I will also be honest and say I wish my son would quit being
29:20so charming and find the right person to settle down with.
29:24Okay, Mom, we don't need to get into that right now, okay?
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, you don't, but you obviously feel like you owe Matt, given he's your business partner.
30:15You 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.
30:25I 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, that'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.
31:43Um, is 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?
32:31Gotta 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?
32:41Why 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 or not?
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.
34:30What 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 she 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 I was
35:05then.
35:06I totally get that.
35:11You know, I remember you telling me one of the reasons that things didn't work out with Kyle was because
35:18he was ready to take the next step, and you weren't.
35:23And there was Audra.
35:24But, yeah, Kyle was ready for the white picket fence, and I thought that was 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.
35:54I guess you do.
36:03Now, what I'm saying, despite you two being divorced, Payne clearly still cares about you.
36:12What makes you say that?
36:14Seriously?
36:15The man isn't even related to Malcolm.
36:18So, it's obvious to me that no matter how he came to the decision to get tested, he's doing it
36:26for 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.
37:02Change my name.
37:04Get 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 he'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.
