00:12To be continued...
00:30What do you mean? You know what he's going to talk to me about?
00:34Chloe! What the hell's going on?
00:37I have to tell you something.
00:40What?
00:42I didn't want it to happen this way. I was always going to tell you, but I...
00:46Oh, babe, relax. Are you okay? Sit down.
00:50I don't feel well. I feel dizzy.
00:52You must be sick still.
00:54Eddie, um, stay with me?
00:57Yeah, of course, but honey, lie down.
00:58Come on. You need to see a doctor.
01:05Why'd you stop reading?
01:07What, you want me to read the whole letter?
01:09Oh, well, let me think.
01:10Do I have time to hear all about how my daughter got admitted into an incredibly hard-to-get-into
01:15university?
01:17Yeah, yeah, I do.
01:22Okay. We are delighted to welcome you into the class of 2016 at Brown University.
01:27Woo-hoo!
01:29The Board of Admissions has reviewed over 20,000 applicants.
01:32Wow, 20,000. That's a lot of reviewing.
01:34Mom.
01:35Please, sorry. Go ahead.
01:36And selected those men and women who will bring an extraordinary array of talents and interest to our university community.
01:41Well, that is you. You have the extraordinariest array of talents.
01:47What? Come on. What's wrong?
01:50Nothing. I just, I still can't believe I got in.
01:53I've imagined this day since you've been a little girl, and I have to say, I always thought you'd be
01:58a tad more excited.
02:00I am excited.
02:01Okay. You just didn't seem like it.
02:03You're right. I mean, I'm so fortunate. And this is such an amazing accomplishment, but I just don't know why
02:11all these awesome things are happening to me.
02:14You have to trust it. I mean, savor it. A lot of people don't get these kind of experiences in
02:19their entire lives.
02:20No, I know, but that just makes it even harder. I mean, up until last week, everything was laid out
02:25for me. The plan was go to college and then go to law school.
02:28And now you've been given a new plan B.
02:32Mom, I don't know what to do.
02:43Here you go.
02:45Thanks.
02:49Oh, God.
02:53What kind of coffee is that?
02:54It's a caramel latte. You said you wanted it sweet.
02:56Yeah, but I meant some cream and a couple of sugars. Not this foamy stuff. This is dessert.
03:02It's a popular drink.
03:04In Candyland.
03:06Y'all are such flakes out here.
03:08Then I guess you'll be glad to go back to Fresno.
03:10Now that's the first sensible thing you've said in days.
03:13Maybe you should take Chloe with you.
03:14Come on. She's never going to set foot in that town again.
03:18Leaving L.A. might be the best thing for her.
03:20She loves it here. She loves the girly coffee drinks and the glamour and the parties and the paparazzi.
03:29I'll put it this way. You'll come back before she does.
03:31Hey, I wouldn't mind coming home someday. Maybe her and I will settle down there together.
03:36I am not asking her to come back home, Tyler, so you can just stop with whatever little scheme you're
03:41thinking about.
03:42I want to make things right with Chloe. You know, in a real way. She deserves it.
03:48You want to help her? Get her away from Eddie.
03:50Now how would I do that?
03:52I don't know. Show up. Go over there and ring the doorbell and say, hey, I'm Mama Kowalski.
03:57And that would end it?
03:58Definitely. He thinks you're dead.
04:01Oh, Chloe would hate me.
04:02At first, but then she'll realize it's what's best for her.
04:05Losing out on a big payday like that is good for her?
04:08Come on, Tyler. Tell me the damn truth for once.
04:11You know what? None of this really matters anyways because Max's detectives are going to find out what happened and
04:16tell them about you soon enough.
04:18Probably the next hour or so.
04:20Poor Chloe.
04:22She's not going to give up without a fight. I'm sure she's working on her story right now.
04:27I had to lie. I was ashamed of my past. My mom was a tramp and she left me at
04:31home alone for days on end.
04:33I did no such thing.
04:34Jackie, I know. You're a decent mother. But she has to paint you as this cruel, heartless witch. It's her
04:41only chance at keeping Eddie.
04:43I don't need a doctor.
04:45Honey, you are flushed, okay? You're obviously running a fever. You need to see someone.
04:50No, I'm okay. I just had to sit down. I just felt lightheaded. I'm fine.
04:55You don't look fine.
04:56I'm fine as long as you stay here with me.
04:59Hey, what is going on? One minute you had me rushing out to San Diego, next you're practically passing out.
05:06I'm so sorry.
05:07Well, just tell me. What's the deal? And we'll work through it.
05:11Are you sure?
05:11Yes. Okay, we are engaged to be married in May. We shouldn't be afraid to tell each other things.
05:18I love you so much. You're my whole world. You mean everything to me.
05:23You're scaring me, Chloe.
05:25You know what? I really, I don't feel good. I think you should call a doctor. Please?
05:37Eddie, it's Dad. I hope you're on your way. Call me anyway.
05:43No way to Chloe. She probably got to you first.
05:50Joe.
05:51You got a minute, Max?
05:52Actually, I don't. I'm on my way to Chloe's right now.
05:55You're going to want to hear this first.
06:02An alibi? For the police?
06:04Yeah. You know, just back me up that I was with you that night.
06:07But you weren't.
06:08That's why I need you to lie.
06:10Where did the police think you were?
06:11It's no big deal. Some computers were taken from a computer lab.
06:14That's where I've been really doing my community service.
06:16And they want to question me about it.
06:18Did you do it?
06:18Of course not. They're questioning everybody that works there.
06:21It's a total misunderstanding.
06:23Well, if you're asking me for an alibi, that must mean that you don't already have one.
06:27I do have one.
06:28But it'd be a lot more convincing if you just said that I was with you.
06:31You know, I don't get what the misunderstanding is.
06:33Either you did it or you didn't.
06:35And if you did, you know that you can tell me.
06:37I already told you I didn't.
06:39I wouldn't care. Come on, Phil. Just admit it.
06:41Like I said, they're questioning everybody.
06:45Okay? Doesn't mean anything.
06:47I just need you to back me up here so we can get this over with quickly.
06:50I'll give you an alibi.
06:52As soon as you tell me the truth.
06:54Okay? About the computers and everything else you've been up to lately.
06:57Fine. I can see that you're not cool with this.
06:59I'll just get somebody who actually cares about me to help me out.
07:02Wait. You're telling me that I don't care about you?
07:05Phil, we just slept together for the first time.
07:08And instead of sending me a dozen roses, you asked me to lie to the police for you.
07:12It's not like that.
07:13But when I ask you for one little thing, just to be honest with me, you accuse me of not
07:17caring about you.
07:19Can you just trust me for once?
07:21You don't trust me because if you did, you would have told me that you stole those computers.
07:25All right. Forget about it.
07:27Just forget it.
07:27Okay?
07:28I thought that I could trust you, that I could count on you because our relationship was solid.
07:32Clearly it's not.
07:33I gotta go.
07:35Phil, wait.
07:45Why does mom hide these pictures?
07:48Who are you?
07:57What are you doing?
08:00You know how in movies people always say this is not what it looks like, but it always is what
08:04it looks like?
08:05Yes.
08:05Well, this is not what it looks like.
08:07It looks like snooping.
08:09No, I've asked you repeatedly to stay out of my things.
08:11I didn't go through your drawers.
08:13Just, I saw you looking at these pictures.
08:15I wanted to see if they were old photos of me.
08:17But they're not.
08:18You have no right invading my privacy.
08:20I don't get it.
08:21Why do you hide these things?
08:22What's so secretive about a bunch of old photos?
08:24There are some things you don't need to know.
08:26Who's the girl?
08:27What don't I need to know about her?
08:28Mel, all I'm asking for is some mutual respect.
08:30I don't do this sort of thing to you.
08:32Are you kidding?
08:32You do it to me all the time.
08:34What?
08:34When?
08:34Oh, I don't know.
08:35Like every time I leave the house?
08:36You must think I have like a meth lab under my bed.
08:38Or maybe a sex slave stashed in the closet.
08:40Don't be ridiculous.
08:41I don't get what the big deal is, mom.
08:43All that's in there is those photos.
08:45Who is she anyway?
08:46Do we know her?
08:47No.
08:48Not really.
08:50She looks like she was a lot of fun.
08:52She was.
08:53So what?
08:54You guys were tight?
08:55Like BFF kind of stuff?
08:56We were very close.
08:58But we drifted apart.
08:59So you haven't seen her in a while?
09:02Years.
09:03Seems like you miss her.
09:05Very much.
09:08That's all I can say.
09:10Good talk, mom.
09:11Good talk.
09:12What do you mean?
09:13Why can't we have the same kind of relationship Lauren and Nora have?
09:17They tell each other everything.
09:19You treat me like a child.
09:20You've never trusted me enough to confide in me.
09:22And that's just sad, mom.
09:24Why are you getting so upset about this girl?
09:27Excuse me?
09:39You want to keep it vague.
09:41Don't get tripped up on details.
09:42Just say that we were hanging out at your house, we went and got some dinner, and then
09:46we drove around for a little while.
09:47What if he asked for names and stuff?
09:49Make something up.
09:50Don't give exact details about the time.
09:52What time was the robbery?
09:53It was around 8.30.
09:54Where were you?
09:55With you.
09:56Oh, yeah, of course.
09:58You have to make it sound real, right?
10:00So no uh-ing or um-ing or whatevs.
10:05And if he keeps pressing you, just get a little impatient.
10:08Do that thing you did.
10:11I don't do that.
10:12No, of course not.
10:13I might add a few details just to make it believable.
10:16Not a good idea.
10:16Just short and sweet.
10:17The main thing is that they believed that I was with you the whole night.
10:21No, the main thing is that they believed that you didn't steal those computers.
10:24And I didn't steal them.
10:25Yeah, it's a good thing that I'm the one talking because you're not very convincing.
10:29Please, just do what I ask you.
10:31I just have this weird feeling that you're not telling me everything.
10:34I am.
10:35And if I still have that feeling, it might be hard for me to concentrate on what I'm supposed
10:40to say.
10:40Is that a threat?
10:42I'm just saying, maybe you should come clean now.
10:44Otherwise, when the pressure's on, I might accidentally go rogue.
10:48If you do this for me, I'll tell you anything you want to know.
10:52Promise?
10:53You have my word.
10:55We both know that's not worth very much.
10:57What's this worth?
11:03Honey, I know you're conflicted, but this is a really great dilemma to have.
11:07I know, but it seems like it shouldn't even be that hard of a choice.
11:12How long have I been talking about going to Brown?
11:13Oh, well, for the past three years, the only thing you've talked about more is Eddie Duran.
11:19He thinks I should give music a real shot.
11:21But that was, of course, before I got accepted into Brown.
11:24No wonder you're so pensive.
11:26What do you think I should do?
11:27I mean, it's your call, but I will support you no matter what.
11:31I should, yeah, I should go.
11:33I'm going to be late for my shift.
11:39Mom, how would you feel if I didn't go to college in the fall?
11:44Well, um, having you around for another year is certainly tempting.
11:50But this isn't about me.
11:52I mean, I don't know.
11:53I could just defer for a year.
11:55You could definitely do that.
11:57And it's only a year, right?
11:59I mean, it's not that long, but it's long enough to see where it goes, see what happens.
12:06Maybe.
12:13Melissa.
12:13Honey, I'm sorry I ran out like that.
12:16Maybe you don't mean to, but you have a way to make me feel like I'm not part of this
12:18family.
12:18That's nonsense.
12:20I feel like you and Dad are keeping secrets from me.
12:22There are some things you don't need to know.
12:24Was I born with the tail?
12:26What?
12:27Never mind.
12:28Listen, I'm old enough to handle any secret you could tell me.
12:30I can deal.
12:31We've been trying to protect you.
12:32From what?
12:36You're right.
12:37I can't keep this from you anymore.
12:39I'm not so sure I want to know.
12:41No.
12:43You need to know.
12:51What is it, Mom?
12:58The young woman in these photographs, she isn't just a friend from my childhood.
13:02Who is she?
13:03She's my sister, Beth.
13:06Your sister?
13:07Since when do you have a sister?
13:08My whole life.
13:10I'm sorry I never told you.
13:12Yeah, it's a pretty big thing to skip over, especially when you're always told us you're
13:16an only child.
13:16I just thought it would be easier.
13:18I knew that it would open up so many questions.
13:20Yeah, like why we haven't met her?
13:22Oh, she died?
13:25I honestly don't know.
13:26You don't know if your own sister's alive?
13:30These are the last photos I have of her.
13:33She could be dead.
13:34She could be alive.
13:38I have no idea.
13:47So I trailed Tyler Rourke like you asked.
13:50What'd you learn?
13:51He's a busy guy.
13:53I got him going back and forth from his place to a dive motel in Alvarado.
13:57He was visiting a woman there.
13:58I don't really care for those details.
14:01It's not like that, Max.
14:02You ever seen her before?
14:05Yeah.
14:06Yeah, well, why?
14:07She was at the club the other night.
14:09At Green Room, she told me she was one of the finalists' mother.
14:12Oh, she's mother, all right.
14:14What does that mean?
14:15She's Chloe Carter's mom.
14:19Chloe told me she hasn't spoken to or seen her mom in six years.
14:23Well, that may be true.
14:24There was bad blood between them.
14:26But now we know where Jackie went when she left Fresno.
14:30Why is she here?
14:30She needs money, I suppose.
14:33She's about to lose her house.
14:34Okay, I don't get it.
14:35What does Tyler have to do with this woman?
14:37It seems they know each other pretty well.
14:39How?
14:40That's the interesting part, Max.
14:42Tyler Rourke hails from Fresno, too.
14:45Used to date Cynthia Kowalski back in the day.
14:49Lying sleazebags.
14:51They've been playing Eddie all along.
14:53I understand your anger, Max.
14:54No, you don't understand.
14:56This woman is wearing a ring from Eddie.
14:58She's connived and manipulated him into marrying her.
15:01Yes, but they're not married yet.
15:03Knowing Chloe, she probably whisked him away to a cheap wedding in Vegas.
15:08I gotta stop this right now.
15:09Max!
15:10Max!
15:12Well, all your vitals look good.
15:13Why is she so pale?
15:15Low blood sugar.
15:16Ah, that makes sense.
15:17You didn't eat much at lunch at Rumor.
15:18I don't have an appetite.
15:20I'm always telling all my patients who are models to eat throughout the day.
15:23Low calorie count and high stress can take their toll.
15:26Okay.
15:27Listen, thank you so much for coming out.
15:29I really appreciate it.
15:30I'll make sure she gets all the rest she needs, and I'll keep her hydrated.
15:38Well, you're gonna live.
15:40That's good news.
15:43Look, my dad called.
15:44He's probably wondering where I'm at.
15:45I'm gonna head over there.
15:46No, no, no.
15:47Don't go.
15:47What is going on?
15:48I think I know why I've been so sick lately.
15:51It's stress.
15:52We're all stressed.
15:54No, this is different.
15:56Well, what is it?
15:57Huh?
15:58Is it a job?
15:59Is it the wedding stuff?
16:00No.
16:02Someone's following me.
16:03Is it Tyler?
16:04Because I will rip him apart.
16:06It's not him.
16:07What is it?
16:08Is it a paparazzi?
16:09Honey, we can get you protection.
16:11You know, it's part of our lives now, but I don't want you to worry about it.
16:13It's different.
16:14It's someone different.
16:14It's like an investigator or a detective.
16:18What?
16:19I've noticed them for the past few weeks, but now they're going into my personal life,
16:24my research, my bank records.
16:26Who would do that?
16:27The person who hired him is someone who's suspicious of me.
16:31Someone who doesn't trust me.
16:33I'm gonna handle it, okay?
16:34But I don't want you to worry about it.
16:36No, see, the thing is, is they might have uncovered something.
16:41Something that I need to tell you.
16:47Max, my man.
16:48What are you doing to my neck of the woods?
16:51We need to talk.
16:53All right, cool.
16:54Yeah, I'd like that.
16:56Two guys just catching up.
16:58So, what do you want to try it about?
17:00You, Chloe, and Jackie Kowalski.
17:09Hey, Cam.
17:10Have you heard anything about the scholarship?
17:13Um, no.
17:13Hopefully soon.
17:15Hey, maybe if you don't go to college, you could just transfer your scholarship to me.
17:18What makes you think I'm not going to college?
17:19You're a big rock star now.
17:21Who needs a degree?
17:22I don't know.
17:23I mean, it's what I've planned on since forever, but now I'm not so sure.
17:28Maybe my dreams have changed.
17:30Lauren, it's only four years.
17:32You still have plenty of time to be a rock star afterward.
17:35I know you can do both.
17:36Thanks.
17:37That's sweet.
17:40Hey, I was wondering, um, you want to go to the movies tomorrow night?
17:47Yeah, so, uh, Phil and I were just hanging out for a while, and then we went and got something
17:51to eat.
17:52Where did you go?
17:54A restaurant.
17:55Do you remember which restaurant?
17:57Uh, Pajito Mas.
17:59Yeah, Phil got the enchilada supreme, and I got the veggie burrito, but no tortilla.
18:04Carbs.
18:05Oh, got it.
18:06Um, what time was that?
18:09Uh, let's see.
18:10It had to be after nine, because my dad, he's an orthopedic surgeon.
18:13He works at a clinic, so he never gets home before ten.
18:16Did you leave the house before or after he got home?
18:19Uh, before.
18:20Yeah, I had to get gas, so we went to the 76th station on Ventura, and then we went to
18:24pick up our food, so it was like 9.30.
18:26Is there anyone else who can confirm that you were there at that time?
18:29Uh, it's funny, because, uh, no, no one we knew was there.
18:33I'm going to need more than just your word.
18:36Uh, I have an idea.
18:37Um, would, uh, would this be what you mean?
18:41Is credit card receipts?
18:42Yeah, my dad makes me keep them for tax write-offs.
18:45Got it.
18:46Yeah, so after that fill-in, I just drove around and listened to the new Alabama Shake CD, and then
18:51he dropped me off at 11.15.
18:52Can you tell me how it is you recall the exact time?
18:55I DVR Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live so I can watch it 30 minutes in so I don't have
18:59to watch commercials.
19:00I just hate watching commercials, don't you?
19:03I guess that's all for now.
19:05Uh, Detective?
19:06Yeah?
19:07I really hope that you find those computers and get them back to the kids.
19:10They really need them.
19:11I'd like that, too.
19:14Thanks for coming, Detective.
19:16If anything else comes up, or we need to ask you any more questions, I really hope that you'll continue
19:21to be this cooperative.
19:22Yeah, no, absolutely.
19:23I just want whoever did this to be caught and punished.
19:26So, bye, Detective.
19:28Thanks.
19:38That was amazing!
19:42My sister was always the wild child in the family.
19:45It'd be funny if you were the wild child.
19:47Because that would have to be a pretty teen family.
19:51In high school, Beth started taking risks, and it got more dangerous.
19:56First, it was drugs.
19:57Because she started with pot, and then things got heavier.
20:01Oh, my God.
20:01Your sister?
20:02She was stealing to get money to buy drugs.
20:05Then she'd moved on to prescription pills and cocaine and methamphetamine.
20:08You name it, she did it.
20:10Did Grandpa and Grandma know?
20:11I kept my mouth shut.
20:13They had no idea.
20:15And then one night we got a phone call that Beth had OD'd at a party.
20:19Oh, Mom.
20:21I was so terrified.
20:23We thought we lost her.
20:24But she recovered.
20:25She survived the overdose, if that's what you mean.
20:28But recovery?
20:29That's a different thing altogether.
20:31I must have felt so helpless.
20:33Helpless and responsible.
20:36Where is she now?
20:38I don't know.
20:41Sorry about the mess, Max.
20:43Made Zay off, you know?
20:45Dude, what the hell?
20:47You lying piece of trash.
20:48Why are you even here?
20:49I don't know any Jackie whatever.
20:51Enough!
20:52I know everything.
20:53Then why don't you enlighten me?
20:54Because I'm clearly in the dark.
20:56Jackie Kowalski, the woman you claim not to know, happens to be from the same hometown as you and Chloe.
21:01Fresno.
21:02That's right.
21:03I know exactly what and who she is, as I know exactly what and who you are.
21:08Bravo, Max.
21:09Aren't you clever?
21:11You know how to work a computer and a search engine.
21:14But I've never hidden who I am or where I'm from.
21:16But you hid your relationship to Chloe.
21:19A relationship, I'm sure, is still going on behind my son's back.
21:22So what is it?
21:23What is it the three of you are planning against my son?
21:25Nothing.
21:25Nothing, Max.
21:26I swear.
21:27You're lying!
21:28You have been jealous of Eddie ever since his star started to climb and yours faded.
21:32What do you mean by faded?
21:33So what's the deal?
21:34What is Chloe giving you to help her marry my son?
21:37What's your take in all this?
21:39What does Jackie Kowalski have to do with it?
21:41Okay, I'll explain.
21:42Just calm down.
21:43Chloe's mom is bad news.
21:45Chloe cut ties with her before she even moved to L.A.
21:48That's why she changed her name.
21:49She's ashamed.
21:50And you, why are you chauffeuring her around town?
21:52Because Jackie came to L.A. to get money from Chloe.
21:54That's the truth.
21:55But Chloe doesn't want to have anything to do with her.
21:57And I've been trying to keep Jackie away from Chloe and Eddie.
22:00But you're about to get your wish, Max.
22:02How so?
22:03Jackie's on her way to Chloe's apartment to see her and Eddie.
22:05As soon as he learns that she's alive, the relationship's dead.
22:11I'm just trying to figure out the best way to tell you this.
22:14You're acting like we've known each other a week.
22:16Okay, we've been together for over a year.
22:17Whatever it is you have to tell me is not going to change anything between us.
22:21It's my dad.
22:22I gotta take it.
22:22Hey, don't!
22:24Dad, I'm still at Chloe's.
22:26I'm sorry.
22:26Just the two of you?
22:27Yeah, who else would it be?
22:29Okay, don't worry about it, son.
22:30Take as long as you need.
22:31We'll do this later.
22:32Look, Dad, wait.
22:33Before you go, what the hell is going on between...
22:36Max?
22:37Chloe.
22:39Don't worry.
22:40I'm gonna talk.
22:41Well, you better hurry up.
22:43Because you don't have much time.
22:46Hi.
22:47You looking for someone?
22:48Um, no.
22:50I think this is the right place.
22:52Can I come in?
22:58Chloe, someone's here.
23:00Who's this?
23:02This is my mother.
23:04Jackie Kowalski.
23:19I don't get it.
23:20You told me your mother died.
23:22I know.
23:24I'm sorry.
23:25You're sorry?
23:27That's all you have to say?
23:28I didn't want you to know about my past.
23:30We are engaged.
23:33Why would you lie to me?
23:35About your mother, of all things?
23:36I'll tell you why.
23:38It's because she wished I was dead.
23:40Shut up.
23:40No one wants to hear from you.
23:42I do.
23:43I might as well have been dead.
23:44I haven't seen her in six years.
23:46I don't understand.
23:48Why would you make up a story about your mother dying?
23:51That's probably the worst thing I've ever heard.
23:53Because I wanted to forget the past.
23:54I wanted to forget everything.
23:56Okay, but you can't leave out major details
23:57just because you don't like them.
23:59But you had a great relationship with your mom.
24:01You would never understand.
24:02It's complicated.
24:03Actually, it's pretty simple.
24:06She hates me, and for good reason.
24:10I was a lousy mother.
24:12I put her through hell.
24:15And it's no wonder she scrubbed me out of her life.
24:17She hates me, and I can't blame her, you know.
24:21Nada.
24:22I deserve all of her hatred.
24:27Is this true?
24:29That's the first time I ever heard her admit it.
24:31I told you.
24:33I just want to make up to you for the past.
24:35That's why I came.
24:37She showed up on my doorstep a few days ago
24:39after a credit ran out of the poker palace.
24:42You saw her a few days ago.
24:43I was hoping to never lay eyes on her again.
24:46Chloe.
24:46No, look, I know it sounds harsh, but that's my reality.
24:49That's always been my reality.
24:51Whatever issues you two have, this is still your mother.
24:53No, no, no, she's right.
24:56I don't deserve her love.
24:59Not the way I treated her.
25:02Look, Max, I get that you're angry, okay?
25:04But I've told Chloe to come clean many, many times.
25:08That the lies would just make things worse.
25:09That it'd be better if she just told Eddie herself.
25:12Look, if I wouldn't have found out what I did,
25:14she never would have told Eddie.
25:16She's gone through great lengths to cover her tracks.
25:18But I'm not part of this.
25:20Chloe and I were over years ago.
25:21We were just kids.
25:22Yeah, that's what you want everyone else to believe.
25:25But you know what?
25:25I don't buy it.
25:26Because you're always around when she is.
25:28And that picture of you coming out of her apartment?
25:31You weren't just lurking around outside.
25:33You were coming out of her bed.
25:35No, I wasn't, I swear.
25:37She has Eddie Duran.
25:39Every girl's dream.
25:40Why would she want to have anything to do with me?
25:42Which is another reason to hate Eddie.
25:44Look, I'm not gonna deny that it was hard for me
25:47to watch her fall in love with Eddie.
25:49But I've come to terms with it.
25:51She's madly in love with him.
25:52She doesn't want me.
25:53Spare me, Tyler.
25:54You are so wrapped up in this.
25:55You took that woman to my club, for God's sake.
25:58I only got involved because I know firsthand
26:00what a nightmare she could be.
26:02I was trying to help.
26:03Help who do what?
26:04Look, I would have to be insane
26:06to screw over the most successful, famous guy I know.
26:10Let me tell you something, buddy.
26:11You can spin this however you want.
26:15But if you drag my son into your insane, pathetic, crazy life,
26:21I'm gonna be there.
26:22And I'm gonna break you in half.
26:30You just gave me an airtight alibi.
26:34I really owe you one.
26:35You sure do.
26:39So are we cool?
26:41Sure, why?
26:42Before, the hotel room and then, you know,
26:44now returning my phone calls.
26:46Yeah, I thought you didn't really want to talk about that.
26:49No, of course I didn't.
26:52It was a big deal for both of us.
26:54We talked about it for so long, you know?
26:56Yep, and now it's done.
26:58It's over with.
26:59I hope it's not over.
27:01Bill, you can't get your virginity back.
27:03Are you sorry about that?
27:05Are you?
27:07No way.
27:09It was amazing.
27:12You are amazing.
27:15Not just today.
27:16Every day.
27:23Mom, it's not your fault.
27:25You can't help someone that doesn't want to help themselves.
27:28I know.
27:29You're right.
27:30And Beth's demons were way too powerful.
27:33They took over her life.
27:35I can't believe you don't know where your own sister is.
27:37She doesn't want anyone to know.
27:40Once she left home, she'd come home occasionally.
27:44Usually trying to steal something.
27:46And one day, your grandpa caught her going through grandma's jewelry box,
27:50and he chased her out of the house.
27:52That was the last we heard from her.
27:54Did you look for her?
27:55I mean, did you call the police?
27:57Of course.
27:58But she was gone.
28:01Do you think she's still alive out there somewhere?
28:04I pray to God that she is, but I honestly don't know.
28:07I can't believe you've kept this quiet for so long.
28:11I buried it.
28:13It's the only way that I could deal with the guilt.
28:15Please don't feel guilty.
28:17I will never stop feeling guilty.
28:21But I'll never stop loving her, either.
28:24I'm so sorry, Mom.
28:28But I'm relieved you felt like you could finally tell me.
28:32It means a lot.
28:48They tell me it's nice this time of year.
28:54But down on earth.
28:59But my husband in my clothes, I am acting weird.
29:05Oh, Mel.
29:07Finally, I need to talk to you.
29:09Me too.
29:10Oh, okay.
29:11You go first.
29:12Okay, so know that big secret my parents were keeping?
29:14Yeah.
29:14Oh, are they Russian spies?
29:16No.
29:16So I found all these old pictures of my mom and this other girl, and it turns out the other
29:20girl is my mom's sister, Beth.
29:23But I never knew your mom had a sister.
29:25Yeah, neither did I.
29:26She's never mentioned it before.
29:27Ever.
29:28Well, why wouldn't she mention her sister?
29:30Well, apparently the sister, um, my Aunt Beth, she had a bad drug problem and went off
29:35the deep end and left home.
29:37Wow.
29:38Well, what happened to her?
29:39No one knows.
29:40It's like she just fell off the face of the earth.
29:43What does your mom think happened to her?
29:45I mean, she didn't come out and say it, but I think she thinks her sister's dead.
29:51Oh, my God.
29:51That's so sad.
29:52I know.
29:53But it kills my mom.
29:55She actually showed emotion other than anger directed at me.
29:59She's usually so controlled.
30:01That's a nice way of putting it.
30:03But seeing her talk about her sister, I started to see this whole other side to her.
30:08For the first time ever, I actually felt connected to my mom.
30:12Weird, huh?
30:12Kind of explains the way she treats you, why she's so overprotective.
30:17Yeah.
30:18I mean, that makes sense, but she's so paranoid that I might do something stupid or crazy.
30:21I guess she might think it runs in the family.
30:24Wow.
30:25Yeah.
30:25Could your mom actually be a reasonable person after all?
30:28I just found all this out less than an hour ago.
30:31Let's give it some time before we start throwing her on labels like reasonable.
30:34So, what's going on with you?
30:36Oh, okay.
30:38Um, so, I got in.
30:41Yeah, I know you got into the video alarm.
30:43I was there, remember?
30:44No, not, no.
30:45Into Brown.
30:47Shut up!
30:48Mm-hmm.
30:48Is that into Brown?
30:49Are you just now telling me all the time?
30:51I just had the letter a few hours ago.
30:53That's like an eternity for us.
30:56Oh, come over here.
30:56Congratulations.
30:57Oh, my God.
30:58I'm so proud of you.
30:59You're excited for me.
31:01First choice, too?
31:02I know.
31:02It's pretty amazing, huh?
31:03I'll say, like, who's had the most incredible week since the invention of weeks?
31:08Yeah, it's been pretty good.
31:10I've been lucky, I guess.
31:11You know, this was me.
31:13I predicted all the success for you.
31:15I feel totally validated.
31:16Good for me.
31:17Good for me.
31:18You've always believed in me.
31:19It just took me a while.
31:22I'm not sure you're totally there yet.
31:23I'm working on it.
31:26You know, Cam was here before, and I was going to tell him about Brown, but I just didn't...
31:32I don't know.
31:32It felt like bragging.
31:33Yep.
31:33But you're my best friend, so I didn't really...
31:35Wait, wait, wait, wait.
31:35What?
31:36Cameron was here?
31:37You don't want to ask you next.
31:39Go ahead.
31:39Okay.
31:40He was wearing his workout clothes, and yes, he had a cutoff.
31:44Cutoff?
31:44And his arms looked nice.
31:46Oh, his arms looked nice.
31:47Why didn't you call me?
31:48Photo, something, come on.
31:50And he asked me out.
31:52What?
31:52Oh, my God.
31:53Everyone, everyone, we can all just give up on lives, because Lauren Tate has won.
31:58Okay, I've had a good week.
32:00Yeah, pretty good.
32:01Pretty good.
32:02So, where are you and Cam going on your date?
32:05A T E.
32:07Well, he asked me out, but I told him I'd have to think about it.
32:12Breaks over.
32:12What?
32:13Why?
32:14Because you can't play games with time.
32:17Look, Mrs. Carter, I'm...
32:19It's Jackie.
32:21Jackie Kowalski.
32:22Kowalski.
32:25That's my real last name.
32:27Cynthia is my real first name.
32:28I changed it to Chloe when I moved to LA.
32:30Man, you're telling me this stuff now.
32:31I was going to tell you when we got the marriage license, but it's a legal name change.
32:36Cynthia Kowalski didn't work as a model's name.
32:38She was just trying to get as far away from me as possible.
32:41Mrs. Kowalski, I'm sure you did the best.
32:44By some of the circumstances that you could.
32:45That's kind of you to say, Eddie, but I got no right coming to Chloe after all these years.
32:49And she's right to think I'm only here for the money, because, you know, growing up her whole life, we
32:57barely had enough to get through each month.
33:01I had no clue.
33:05You grew up poor in the Upper West Side of Manhattan?
33:08Cynthia Kowalski's not from Manhattan.
33:10She's from Fresno.
33:13Fresno.
33:14I was going to tell you, I mean, as soon as I moved to LA, I told people I was
33:18from New York.
33:19I didn't deliberately hide it from you.
33:21Chloe just lied about her past because the truth is too shameful to admit.
33:24Why did you do that was so horrible?
33:26Eddie, please.
33:27I've already lived through it once.
33:28No.
33:28I want to know why someone hates their mother so much that they'd rather tell everyone that she's dead.
33:47What's wrong?
33:49I told Melissa about Beth.
33:51You did?
33:52She found the photographs.
33:54I couldn't keep it from her anymore.
34:02How do you feel about it?
34:04Relieved, actually.
34:06Mel was stunned, but she understood.
34:09I'm so glad that you felt you could confide in her.
34:13Me too.
34:15I never felt closer to my daughter than I did today.
34:20Well, we've both had very eventful days.
34:22Glad you finally got the truth out of your mom.
34:24I know.
34:25The only thing is, what do I do with it now?
34:27Why do you have to do something with it?
34:28I think my mom would feel better knowing.
34:30I would feel better, too.
34:32And I know you would feel better if you woke the hell up and went on your date with Cameron.
34:38I have bigger things to think about now.
34:42She told everyone I was dead because I deserved to be.
34:45Jackie, don't say that.
34:46Well, I was never a real mother.
34:51I mean, I was real young when I had her, so truth is, I, um, I didn't want her.
34:59Ever.
35:01Until I got successful, you mean.
35:07Look, are you really after Chloe's money?
35:09I know I got no right to ask for forgiveness.
35:11Not after, not after the way I treated her.
35:14What did you do?
35:18I neglected her.
35:21I ignored her.
35:22I, I acted like she didn't exist.
35:27I, I didn't want to take care of a kid, you know.
35:29I just wanted to have a life.
35:31I wanted to go out and have a few drinks.
35:34And then there were times when I woke up and I didn't even know whose bed I was in.
35:41And Chloe was left home all alone, you know.
35:44So she had to, she had to wake up and she had to fix herself breakfast and get herself ready
35:48for school.
35:49And all the while wondering if I was ever even going to come home.
35:52Or if I was even alive.
35:57I should go.
35:58Don't expect me to stop you.
36:00No.
36:02Coming here was just another in a long line of mistakes and I'm sorry.
36:07For everything, you deserve to be happy.
36:12Eddie, please, don't let what I did.
36:15Stop, you've already said enough.
36:28I don't know what to say.
36:30There are so many times when I wanted to tell you, but I was ashamed.
36:34You should have told me.
36:36Okay, you owe me that out of respect.
36:38I know that, but I didn't want you to think less of me.
36:41How can you say that?
36:43Does that sound like me?
36:45No, you're right.
36:46I should have told you, but I wanted to forget everything about my childhood.
36:50Chloe, people in love don't keep a secret like this from each other.
36:54I got caught in a lie.
36:57A lie that I had been telling for so long.
36:59But I, you should have told you the truth.
37:02You deserve the truth.
37:05It's just so wrong.
37:07I know.
37:08I used horrible judgment.
37:10But I thought that we could get through anything.
37:14So did I.
37:15Trust me.
37:16But?
37:19But I'm not so sure of anything right now.
37:23Eddie, please, please tell me that we can move beyond this.
37:28I gotta get out of here.
37:31Okay, um, we'll get out of L.A.
37:33You and me, we'll go somewhere.
37:35I mean alone, Chloe.
37:41Eddie.
37:43Cheers.
37:51Would you blindly follow me
37:56When I'm going nowhere
38:00Would you keep your faith in me
38:04When I don't have a prayer
38:10You've got this hold on me
38:12Don't want to be set free
38:15So keep me safe and still
38:19Right here with you
38:22You've got this hold on me
38:25And I'm yours to keep
38:29Lauren?
38:31Eddie?
38:32How did you know I would be here?
38:34Um, I didn't.
38:35This is actually my spot that I come to
38:38When I need to think
38:39This is my spot
38:42Ah, it's my spot
38:44I've been coming here forever
38:47Well, I don't think it's big enough
38:49For the two of us
38:49No, yeah, me either
38:51So, uh
38:53What to do?
38:55Well, let's be adults about it
38:56Um, rock paper situation
39:00I don't know if you want to do that
39:02I've had a pretty lucky day
