00:15Stay.
00:21So is this how you greet all the guys you meet at the bar?
00:25Mommy, the ones I can keep going.
00:30Tell me about your company.
00:32Shh, nobody wants to talk about that right now, okay?
00:35I heard your company's facing fraud allegations.
00:40What are you talking about, Owen?
00:42You guys have climbed thousands of insurance claims, didn't you?
00:49Hold on a second.
00:50What are you talking about?
00:52Who are you?
00:55Are you a fucking reporter?
00:57Are you a fucking reporter?
01:09So this is how you get your stories, huh?
01:11On your fucking knees?
01:16At least I didn't steal a hundred mil from innocent people, asshole!
01:25I know we're not official, but I really want you to meet my friends.
01:29They'll love you.
01:30Dean, don't you think it's a little early, but okay.
01:34Alright.
01:38Let me get him.
01:41Oh my god.
01:42That's him.
01:43That's Matthew Asher.
01:53Hey guys, there is a special person that I want to introduce you to.
01:57Meet my girl, Candice.
01:59Are you saying that I'm not your girlfriend?
02:02What?
02:03He is the CEO of the pharmaceutical company that I was telling you about.
02:07He has full access to the meds that your sister needs.
02:11So...
02:11Now is the perfect opportunity.
02:16Go, light a cigarette.
02:17Man, your sister needs you.
02:20Didn't get a cigarette and a lighter?
02:23Sorry.
02:24Just forget it.
02:39You look familiar.
02:42Do I know you?
02:44Does he know what's me?
02:46So Dean here tells me you're looking for some medicine.
02:51What kind?
02:53The latest medicine for Brugada syndrome?
02:56It's a heart condition.
02:58Oh, shucks.
03:00Well, it's not on the market yet.
03:03Can't help you out.
03:04Sorry.
03:09Mr. Asher, I brought my girl all the way over here to specifically meet you.
03:14Well, I don't know her.
03:17I'm not going to break the law for somebody that I don't know, Dean.
03:25Mr. Asher, if you could do me this huge favor.
03:28If you did, I'm pretty sure she'll go out with me, so...
03:32Mr. Asher, how much does the medication cost?
03:36I'll buy it from you.
03:44I told you already.
03:46It's not for sale.
03:49I'll pay whatever.
03:50Please, sell it to me.
04:01$100 million.
04:04At least I didn't steal 100 mil from innocent people, asshole!
04:10What?
04:11Does that number seem familiar to you?
04:18100 mil?
04:21Mr. Asher, if we could just have a few bottles, it would be a huge favor, please.
04:25Rules are rules, Dean boy.
04:27I can't help you.
04:29Fine.
04:30Let's go.
04:31Come on.
04:33Oh, Candace, you really think that I don't remember you?
04:36You humiliated me, and I'm going to get my revenge.
04:44He's a jerk.
04:46He's a fucking monster.
04:50Don't worry.
04:51I'll handle this.
04:53Okay?
04:53I promise I will get those meds for your sister.
04:57Thanks, Dean.
04:59Good night.
05:05I'm sorry, Dean.
05:07I have a deadline.
05:26It's Matthew.
05:27If you want the meds, come to 1874 Keswick Avenue.
05:30Now or never.
05:46Candace, Candace.
05:48Surprised to be seeing you heroes.
05:50I'm starting to think that you only liked meeting in bathrooms.
05:54Mr. Asher, I've come for the medicine.
05:59Sit.
06:09So, tell me any more about your sister.
06:12Is she sick?
06:13No.
06:14Yeah, that's why I'm here.
06:15I really need those meds.
06:17Hmm.
06:18Using me to get what you want.
06:19Sounds familiar.
06:20Where have I heard that story before?
06:24You know, you have really beautiful hair.
06:27Almost as beautiful as a year ago.
06:33Candace, what's wrong?
06:34I don't bite.
06:41This is a ton of fun, isn't it?
06:43I'm having a blast.
06:44You know, if you're going to be a prude, you might as well just walk yourself out, Candace.
06:49Mr. Asher, I thought your business was about saving people's lives.
06:53My sister's life is in danger.
06:55Why won't you help me save her?
06:56Oh, so you think that I'm responsible for your sister's condition.
07:00It's my fault.
07:02That's what I'm hearing.
07:05Fine.
07:05Okay.
07:06You want to save your sister's life.
07:07I get it.
07:09The question is, Candace.
07:14What exactly are you willing to exchange for that?
07:26Oh, look at that.
07:27Even the cards know where you belong.
07:30What are you trying to say?
07:35What am I trying to say?
07:37I want you to take your panties off.
07:41And put them right there.
08:04Candace, you're back.
08:09Did you take your medicine?
08:12I don't want to.
08:14It tastes awful, and it doesn't even help.
08:17Emma, you have to take your medicine, okay?
08:22I know it's not the best, but it's all we have for now.
08:31Candace, I feel so weak.
08:36Like I'm inching closer and closer to death.
08:40Here, drink up, okay?
08:43It'll make you feel better.
08:53I can't.
08:55It just...
08:56It doesn't work.
08:57It's not real medicine.
08:59Okay.
09:01You know what?
09:02Tomorrow I'm going to take you to your favorite restaurant.
09:06Really?
09:09Promise.
09:11For now, get some sleep, okay?
09:33I love this place.
09:34Thank you, Ken.
09:48Do you know him?
09:53Mr. Astor.
09:57Why the jerk?
10:09Are you okay?
10:12Are you okay?
10:13Emma!
10:14Emma!
10:20She's having a seizure.
10:25Watch her tongue.
10:36Candace.
10:39It was a seizure.
10:42Oh, okay.
10:47Your doctor said it was triggered by your heart condition.
10:53Look, if we can't get that medication, then she's just going to keep having seizures.
10:59You know Mr. Astor well, right?
11:02And can you get the medication from Mr. Astor for Emma?
11:05I told you not to worry about it.
11:07I will take care of this.
11:09We can't wait.
11:10She can die at any moment.
11:12I pulled a lot of strength, but he won't budge.
11:17If it comes down to it, I'll play the hardball.
11:22All right?
11:24What do you mean by hardball?
11:27Just let me take care of this.
11:28Okay?
11:30Okay.
11:31Can you go?
11:32You don't have time.
11:33Yeah, yeah.
11:52You're awake.
11:55How do you feel?
11:59Candace, am I going to die?
12:03No.
12:04Don't say that, okay?
12:06You're going to live a very, very long time.
12:14But living is so painful.
12:18What's the point of it?
12:21Emma, you can't speak like that.
12:23You know, if I let you die, you can't leave me here by myself.
12:30Hey, I'm going to save you.
12:40Boss, Kennedy's here.
12:58Okay, he's back.
13:23I'm ready to make a deal with you.
13:26I'm all ears.
13:30We, you know, and then you gave me the medicine for my sister.
13:37Huh.
13:38It sounds a hell of a lot like the plan I already suggested, which you turned down.
13:43I'm not sure that deal was on the table still.
13:46What?
13:48What else could you possibly want?
13:54What else do you have to offer?
13:56Boss, Dean's here.
13:58He's looking for you.
13:59Dean's here.
14:00Oh, no.
14:01I can't have him see me here.
14:05Please don't let him in.
14:06This can be a hell of a lot of fun, can't it?
14:10Matthew, where are you?
14:13We're down here, Dean.
14:14Come on down.
14:19We're down here, Dean.
14:21Come on down.
14:22Relax.
14:23You could hide over here.
14:36Are you afraid of poor little Dean?
14:38You're not dating that dork, are you?
14:41I can't really see you guys together.
14:42Hey, Dean, why don't you come in here and say hello?
14:46Stop.
14:47Relax.
14:48I'm trying to help you.
14:50Take a look at this.
14:51I mean, you're crazy.
14:54Trying to come into my house and watch me shower.
14:56Hey, it's fun, though.
14:57I like it.
14:58I like this side of you.
15:00Matthew, it's Dean.
15:01Can I talk to you for a second?
15:02Yeah, sorry, pal.
15:03Can't really help you.
15:04It's just a little favor.
15:05I just need some medicine.
15:06Basically, I need to show Candace that I love her.
15:08Dean, you little worm.
15:10You think you can take what's mine?
15:13That he loves you.
15:21How about now?
15:22You want to see him now?
15:23What the hell are you doing in there, Matthew?
15:25What are you hiding a girl or something?
15:27Yeah, I sure am, Dean.
15:28I think maybe you should come in here.
15:29She's beautiful.
15:30You should check her out.
15:31All right.
15:40You think I actually fucking meant that, Dean?
15:42This is my bathroom.
15:43You're aware of that, right?
15:45What the fuck do you want?
15:47Look, Matthew, I just need one pillbox set of the medication.
15:51That's all, promise.
15:52Oh, I don't know, pal.
15:53You know, it's not FDA approved yet,
15:54and what if there's a negative side effect on Candace's sister?
15:57Have you thought of that?
15:59Huh?
16:00Have you thought of that?
16:01Uh, what do you mean?
16:03Well, what if it goes wrong?
16:05What if the meds fail,
16:06and they end up killing Candace's sister prematurely?
16:09What the fuck do you think she's going to think of you after that?
16:12Come on, Dean.
16:12Don't let me down.
16:14All right.
16:16That's nice to be real.
16:17I don't care about Candace's sister.
16:19I just want Candace.
16:20I'm going to have a look at them.
16:22I guess you're right.
16:23Hmm.
16:24Keep the meds.
16:25Oh, my God.
16:26What an asshole.
16:28Yeah, keep them.
16:29Thanks.
16:30Thanks, man.
16:30And hey, have fun with your girl.
16:32Yeah, thanks, man.
16:32Appreciate it.
16:33Yeah.
16:35Did he actually just do that?
16:39Well, I guess your Prince Charming isn't so charming after all, is he?
16:44I think you should be thanking me.
16:46Probably saved you a lot of time dealing with people like that.
16:50All right.
16:51Well, it's a very beautiful bathroom.
16:54Feel free to spend as much time as you want getting washed up.
16:58I'll see you soon.
17:12Miss Candace, your sister's medicine.
17:20What?
17:23Really?
17:24A little sample from Mr. Astor.
17:34Oh, my God.
17:49So, what the hell happened?
17:50Did she leave?
17:51Yes, boss.
17:53But, if I may ask, why did you give her the medicine?
17:56Well, I gave her one sample.
17:59That way, I know she'll be back for more.
18:01And when she does, she'll sacrifice everything for it.
18:11I have amazing news.
18:15I got you at the meds.
18:17There's only one battle, but it's a good start.
18:21All right.
18:38Come on.
18:39Let's get some rest.
18:49Come on.
18:54Emma!
18:56Emma!
18:58Hey!
18:59Oh, my God.
18:59Candace, that medicine works amazingly.
19:02I feel great.
19:04So, how much more do we have?
19:07We only have a week's worth.
19:09Oh.
19:13Don't worry, sis.
19:14I'll make sure we get enough.
19:18Hello there, beautiful.
19:19Where are you headed?
19:20I'll give you a ride.
19:21No, thanks.
19:22I have stuff to do.
19:24Uh.
19:25Oh, look, look, look, look.
19:27I know your sister's condition has really been stressing you out, but you need to take some time for yourself.
19:33Come on.
19:34Hop in.
19:34I'll give you a ride.
19:36You, slimeball.
19:37I'm going to find out who you really are.
19:39Fine.
19:39Oh, all right.
19:41Before we go, I do have a little confession.
19:45Here we go.
19:46Oh, God.
19:47This week has been so hard.
19:49I've been running around this entire town looking for meds for your sister.
19:53I can't eat.
19:53I can't sleep.
19:55It's been really hard, Candace.
19:56It's been very tough.
19:57Or you.
19:58Yeah, and this guy, Matthew, with his heart of stone, I've been bugging him nonstop.
20:03And he won't budge.
20:04Really?
20:05Yeah, it's...
20:09Are you doubting me?
20:12I'm sorry, are you finding this funny?
20:17You know what?
20:18Change of plans.
20:20I'm going to show you how much I care about you.
20:23I have to go to work.
20:25What are you doing?
20:27Let go of me.
20:28No.
20:29This is non-negotiable.
20:30You're coming with me.
20:32Hey!
20:33Let go of me!
20:34Go!
20:35Stop!
20:35I'm kidding!
20:35Let go of me!
20:56Matthew, tell her.
20:57Tell her that I've been busting my ass trying to get this medication from you for her.
21:01Dean, you liar.
21:03I overheard you yesterday.
21:05Dean, frankly, I don't give a shit.
21:07Wait, wait, wait.
21:07Just please ask him.
21:10All right, Candace, saving your sister's life is my life's mission.
21:13I see her as a sister now.
21:16Oh, my God.
21:17No, sit down.
21:20All right, now.
21:23Matthew, back me up here.
21:24Have I not been shamelessly bugging you for this medication?
21:28Yeah, pathetically shameless, if you ask me.
21:31Hey, Candace.
21:33How's the medication working?
21:37What?
21:38Who gave you the meds?
21:43Who gave you the meds?
21:45I asked you a question, Candace.
21:47Can you look at me?
21:50How's the medication working?
21:52Wait, what?
21:53What?
21:54What is going on?
21:56God, you're obsessed with helping this poor girl out.
21:59Man, you're such a kind guy.
22:01That's why we like you.
22:04Yeah, I mean, isn't it obvious?
22:09Candace, here is my future wife.
22:12Excuse me.
22:13I need to use your restroom.
22:16Thanks.
22:26Look, Matthew, I really need this.
22:29You've got to help me out here.
22:30I need this.
22:32Please, do me a solid.
22:36Matthew, why is he calling me?
22:40I need this.
22:44So, you really want to get Candace that medication, huh?
22:47Yes, more than anything.
22:51Well, here's a bottle right here.
22:55Nice hands.
22:56Let me ask you something, Ding.
23:00Have you thought all of this through?
23:03What do you mean?
23:07Well, let's say you do give Candace the medication for her sister.
23:13Her sister is still going to have lifelong health complications.
23:16Candace will be taking care of her for the rest of her life.
23:18She'll be busy.
23:19She'll be stressed.
23:20And eventually, she's going to have no time for you.
23:23Nothing.
23:25Is that really what you want?
23:27Is that your strategy here?
23:29Think about it.
23:35You're right.
23:37Maybe it's better if her sister dies.
23:39And then I get Candace all to myself.
23:45Thanks, but keep the meds.
23:48And make sure not to give it to her.
23:50It would really help me out.
23:53Yeah.
23:53Sure.
23:54Mm-hmm.
23:58Oh, uh, Candace.
24:01Look, um, why don't we put this all behind us and, come on, let's go grab a bite to eat.
24:05No.
24:06We're done.
24:08What?
24:09Oh, uh, okay, yeah, that, stupid little girl.
24:14That's fine.
24:14That's fine.
24:15You'll come crawling back.
24:16They always come crawling back.
24:18Easy, tiger.
24:19Please come crawling back.
24:20Fuck.
24:21Fuck.
24:36Emma.
24:39Emma.
24:41Emma!
24:43Emma!
24:45Emma!
24:45Emma!
24:45Emma!
24:59Doctor!
25:00I'm sorry.
25:01Your sister's in a coma.
25:05What do you mean, a coma?
25:07What do you mean?
25:08Look, the important thing is, she's still with us.
25:10All right?
25:11You need to be strong for her.
25:13If she doesn't get her medication, she might not make it through the night.
25:18Now, if you'll excuse me.
25:20The night?
25:22What do you mean, the night?
25:25There's only one person who can help me.
25:32Where's Matt?
25:33Matthew!
25:35Emma's in a coma.
25:36I need the medicine now.
25:40Okay.
25:41Okay?
25:43Yeah.
25:44Jim over here is going to drop off the medicine to your sister at the hospital.
25:48Really?
25:50But.
25:54But what?
25:56You're going to stay here.
25:59For the night.
26:01With me.
26:03I can't do that.
26:05My sister is in the hospital.
26:06I have to be with her.
26:09Okay.
26:13No deal then.
26:23Matthew, I need to make sure my sister's okay.
26:29Oh, I got Jim on the phone right here.
26:32Hey, Jim.
26:33Candace wants to make sure her sister's okay.
26:35Can you put her on?
26:36Yes, boss.
26:38Here she is.
26:41Emma!
26:42Don't worry, boss.
26:43I'm keeping a good eye on Emma.
26:45Wait, Jim.
26:46Don't hang up yet.
26:51Hang up.
26:51No, I don't want Emma to see this.
26:53I think that it would be pretty exciting.
26:55Don't you think?
26:57Candace, is that you?
26:59What's going on?
27:00Let go.
27:01We had a deal, Candace.
27:03Not like this.
27:05I think your sister would find it intriguing.
27:07Don't you think?
27:09Why don't we give it a shot?
