00:00It's been Jason's 40th birthday.
00:01I've been planning this surprise for three months.
00:04He thinks I'm out of town until Sunday.
00:07Five years married, and I still get butterflies when I see his face.
00:17My sister?
00:21Amy!
00:31How could you?
00:39Oh.
00:44Amy.
00:49Who are you?
00:53The diagnosis is retrograde amnesia.
00:57It could clear in days.
00:59It could be permanent.
01:00There's no way to know yet.
01:02Familiar triggers may help her remember.
01:04But pressure and lies will damage her recovery.
01:11She doesn't remember anything, Lauren.
01:13The trust is frozen.
01:15Without that code, we get nothing.
01:17She doesn't need to remember everything, Jason.
01:20She only needs to remember the code.
01:22We guide her there.
01:24Carefully.
01:27You were so stressed, sweetheart.
01:30You weren't watching the road.
01:32The crash wasn't anyone's fault, but the rain.
01:35I'm so lucky to have them in my life.
01:38Why does she look so familiar?
01:40Couldn't be.
01:42No way.
01:43If I'm ever in real trouble, I'll come find you.
01:47I promise.
01:48Not that I'll ever need to.
01:51Is it really you, Amy?
01:54If I'm ever in real trouble, I'll come find you.
01:58I promise.
02:00Is it really you, Amy?
02:07An entire mansion?
02:12It's so good to have you home, Amy.
02:17Who am I?
02:19I'll sleep down the hall tonight, okay?
02:21Just until you feel more like yourself.
02:23Get some rest, baby.
02:24I'll see you later.
02:25I'll see you later.
02:26He says he's my husband.
02:28But I feel nothing when he kisses me.
02:31Nothing at all.
02:34She has to be comfortable enough to remember.
02:37But weak enough that we control every step.
02:43Come on.
02:51Make love to me like I'm your wife.
02:55Try this one, sweetheart.
02:56It's your favorite.
02:57You used to make it every single morning.
03:00My sister Lauren has been trying everything to get my memories back.
03:05Coffee, showing me pictures.
03:07How are you feeling today?
03:09She's a godsend.
03:11But Jason...
03:13I might have lost my memories, but I'm pretty sure I should feel more when my husband touches me.
03:19I've missed you.
03:24Amy!
03:28They lied to me.
03:31There was no rain.
03:34How can my sister sleep with my husband?
03:39How can she remember what we want when she doesn't even let me touch her?
03:43Why do you care about her touch anyways?
03:49Why would she list her sister as her emergency contact?
03:54Not her husband.
03:58This is Dr. Reed, checking in on Mrs. Carter.
04:01She's doing great.
04:03She's resting right now.
04:04I gotta go now.
04:05Sorry, doctor.
04:06Can I speak with her?
04:09Someone's trying to reach me.
04:26Do you remember Friday nights?
04:28Under the bleacher?
04:30You were my good luck charm.
04:32Still are.
04:32If it wasn't for her wicked mother sending me to boarding school, we could've...
04:36Let's not drown in the past.
04:37What matters is that we always loved each other.
04:39Why would you do this?
04:41Why would you do this to me, Jason?
04:43His office.
04:44Can I speak with her?
04:45Can I speak with him?
04:45No, no no.
04:48No, no I'm not going to be the last guest.
04:50Can I speak with you?
04:50With you?
05:05There is no place.
05:05There is no place.
05:06I'll be of you.
05:07Is there just a real life, no?
05:13What do you want?
05:25If you're watching this, I'm either gone or I'm not myself. So listen carefully.
05:34If you're watching this, I'm either gone or I'm not myself. So listen carefully.
05:40Jason has been sleeping with Lauren. I've known for months.
05:43I stayed quiet because I was building a case, watching the money, watching them.
05:48Don't confront them. Don't run. Don't call the police.
05:52The code is the first name of your first love.
05:56If Liam Reed is anywhere near you, trust him.
05:59He's the only person in this world that never stopped loving you.
06:04The next morning, Jason was waiting for me in our bedroom.
06:09Where were you?
06:10The restroom. I couldn't sleep.
06:15You know, we still haven't had time for ourselves since you've been back.
06:19What a fool. What an absolute fool.
06:26You messed with the wrong girl, Jason.
06:29The wrong girl.
06:30Was I your first love? Tell me the truth.
06:35Of course, honey. Since homecoming. Freshman year.
06:39What a liar.
06:42A lawyer is coming next week to finalize your father's will.
06:47He's going to be asking you for a code. I told him you can't do it, considering...
06:51I can do it.
06:53What?
06:55I think I remember the code.
06:57That's great.
06:59But you have to do something for me.
07:01Anything.
07:02Once I give them the code, I need you to transfer my sister's money over to my account.
07:11Did you actually get the code out of her or did you just give in to her again?
07:15Her memory's fried, Lauren.
07:19Our best bet is to pay off the lawyer.
07:26The lawyer comes Tuesday. I don't care what you have to do. Get her there.
07:30The second those funds drop, you wire them out.
07:33I already bought our flights out of here, baby.
07:41Dr. Reed.
07:42Mrs. Carter, insurance requires a 72-hour follow-up after severe head trauma.
07:48May I come in?
07:49She's resting right now. Maybe another day would really be better, doctor.
07:54It's okay, Lauren. Come on in, doctor.
07:59How are you feeling, Amy?
08:01I'm fine.
08:02How's her memory? Any sign of luck?
08:04None. Believe me, we've been trying.
08:08Are you sure there's no way to expedite this recovery?
08:10Expedite. What Amy needs is support.
08:13Jason. Kitchen. Now.
08:24Have we met before?
08:28What is he doing here?
08:31I don't like it. We need to move fast.
08:38Have they been taking good care of you?
08:39Yes, they've been wonderful to me.
08:41If you ever need any help, you can reach me here.
08:56To family, the most precious thing we have left.
09:01To family. I'm glad we're all here.
09:09Daddy left us a fortune, Amy. Hundreds of millions.
09:12But he set it up so neither of us can touch it without you remembering the verification code.
09:16If you don't remember by Monday, the trust locks for another 12 months.
09:19I lose my half too. I've been carrying this alone, Amy. I need my sister back.
09:25I want to remember. I'm trying so hard, Lauren. I really am.
09:31I know this is a lot, but if there's anything I can do to help, please, just ask.
09:38There is one thing I remember. Daddy used to tell me that my mom's maiden name was sacred.
09:45I wonder if her name is the code.
09:54Welcome, Mr. Whitman. Please, come in.
09:59Good to see you. Thanks for having us.
10:02Nice to meet you.
10:03Nice to meet you.
10:05Amy, dear. How are you doing, sweetheart?
10:09I'm doing better now. Thanks to my sister and Jason taking such good care of me.
10:14Well, you all know why I'm here. Your father loved both of you so much.
10:19Even though he wasn't around much, he made sure you were both taken care of.
10:24He left you a generous amount. All he asks is that you use it responsibly.
10:29Now, Amy, I just need your part of the code and the funds should release by tomorrow.
10:43Johnson, your mom's maiden name.
10:45Yeah, that sounds right, baby.
10:47It has to be this one.
10:50It's not working.
10:52I really thought this was it.
10:55Why don't you keep trying, Amy?
10:59Jason, can you help me with the food in the kitchen?
11:07I thought you said she remembered the code.
11:09She said she did. That's what she told me.
11:11And what did Mr. Whitman say?
11:13Just relax, baby. He's just gonna give her a few tries.
11:16How are you so calm? Is there something I don't know?
11:35They think today is the day I give them what they want, just not the way they rehearsed it.
11:41Oh my god. It worked! It actually worked!
11:47And my portion of the money has been transferred to my account.
11:50You conniving thieves. Both of you.
11:57What are you talking about, Amy?
12:01Don't act stupid.
12:03I know what you've been doing behind my back.
12:06From now on, we are no longer family.
12:09I'm taking my money and I'm moving out.
12:13You can both rot in hell.
12:19Amy.
12:22Amy, wait! Please!
12:25What did you do, Jason?
12:28What did you do?
12:31Jason, what did you do?
12:37Go ahead.
12:40Jason Mercer, Lauren Carter. You're both under arrest for conspiracy to commit financial fraud
12:46and coercion of a vulnerable person. Amy.
12:48Don't.
12:49How did you know what it was? The code.
12:52Because I chose it, years ago, before I ever met you.
12:56How did you know?
12:57My memory came back the night you brought me home.
13:00Jason touched my hand in the kitchen and I remembered everything.
13:04Amy!
13:04The kitchen, the two of you, the sound of the door.
13:08Then why didn't you?
13:09Because I needed to understand what you were planning.
13:11So I watched.
13:13I found the flash drive in Jason's office.
13:16The one I recorded for myself before the crash.
13:19Before I knew how far you'd already gone.
13:23Past me had been tracking everything for weeks.
13:27Following the money, building a case, documenting the affair.
13:31She knew you were planning to drain the family trust and leave the country.
13:39She hid the evidence on that drive and left me a message.
13:43She told me the trust code was the name of my first love.
13:46The code is the first name of your first love.
13:49And she told me that if I ever ran into a doctor named Liam, to trust him.
13:56You're the one she...
13:57She called me two days ago.
13:59Sent me the drive.
14:00gave a full recorded statement.
14:03Two days ago.
14:04Before you...
14:05Before I walked into that living room today, yes.
14:07I had already made the call.
14:09Everything you watched me do in that house.
14:11The confusion, asking for help, sleeping with my own husband to pull information out of him.
14:16I did all of it knowing exactly who I was.
14:19Knowing exactly who you were.
14:21Ma'am, this way.
14:45You recognized me.
14:47At the hospital.
14:49The moment they brought you in.
14:51But you said you didn't know me.
14:53You were my patient.
14:54Your husband was standing right there.
14:56I wasn't going to say we went to homecoming together with him two feet away.
15:00You remembered that.
15:02I never stopped.
15:04Not once.
15:06The trust code.
15:07Past me said it was the name of my first love.
15:10I set that code years ago, before Jason.
15:13Before any of this.
15:15It was always you.
15:18I just wanted you to know that.
15:31What happens now?
15:33Something.
15:34Something that's actually mine.
15:40Lauren Carter.
15:42You have a visitor.
15:53Hello, darling.
15:54You look tired.
15:57Mother.
15:59How are you here?
16:01I don't know.
16:01Nobody's like you.
16:01Let me know.
