TVTranscript
00:01My husband has a girl best friend, Mia.
00:04They're close enough to share a bed.
00:05They were eating the same ice cream.
00:07Adrian Hale was the crime boss the whole New York underworld feared.
00:10One look from him could silent the whole table.
00:13But when it came to his girl best friend, suddenly he couldn't do a thing.
00:16You're married.
00:18Can you keep your distance from her?
00:20Clara, if anything was going to happen, it would have happened by now.
00:24Fine.
00:25I got myself a guy best friend.
00:27When Adrian stayed out all night with Mia again,
00:30I barely reacted.
00:31He brought me a gift, and for once, an explanation.
00:34Won it at an auction last night, 420 grand.
00:36See if you like it.
00:37The crew got together.
00:38I drank too much, so I stayed at the hotel.
00:39But nothing happened.
00:40It was a suite.
00:40She had the bedroom, I took the guest room.
00:42That was the part he really stessed.
00:43Last time, we had a huge fight over it.
00:46Mia's father was one of the family's old guard.
00:48She grew up with Adrian, the only girl in that crowd.
00:51She was loud, familiar with everybody, one of the guys.
00:54I'd seen it more than once.
00:55Sitting on their lebs, fooling around, even sharing a drink.
00:58At first, when I got upset, Adrian would still try to explain it.
01:01Then he got sick of it and snapped.
01:03If anything was going to happen with Mia, it would have happened already.
01:04You wouldn't be the one I married.
01:06The worst part?
01:07His friends backed him up.
01:09Mia grew up with us.
01:10That's just how she is.
01:10Adrian treats her like a kid.
01:11A kid?
01:12She's 25.
01:14Adrian, if you don't know what basic boundaries are, then let's get divorced.
01:17After that, he did keep his distance from Mia for a while.
01:20But she started taking little shots at me whenever I was around.
01:25See, Clara?
01:26I'm not even sitting next to Adrian.
01:31You should skip the next one.
01:33Wouldn't want Clara getting upset.
01:37He's on a short leash now.
01:38I wouldn't dare get too close.
01:39She only pulled that when I was there.
01:41Before long, I was the jealous, unreasonable one in all their eyes.
01:44That's when Adrian and I started drifting apart.
01:47I looked at the diamond necklace he'd brought home.
01:50Back then, that would have made me so happy.
01:53Not because of the gift, but because of the thought behind it.
01:57Now, I can't even be bothered to care.
01:59Clara, didn't you want to see that movie?
02:01I'm not going in today.
02:02I'll rent out a theater and take you.
02:05I'd been waiting forever to see that movie.
02:07I asked him the minute it came out.
02:09He said he was busy.
02:10A few days later, Mia posted that he'd rented out a whole theater for her.
02:14No face.
02:15But that hand, sharp knuckles, matching wedding ring on his ring finger.
02:19The one that pairs with mine.
02:21There was a faint trace of perfume on him.
02:24Mia Hart's favorite perfume.
02:26No, I'm good.
02:31Clara, are you pulling this running away stunt again?
02:33I told you, there's nothing going on between Mia and me.
02:38I know.
02:39You two are just bros.
02:41That made Adrian even more uneasy.
02:44Then what are you making a scene over?
02:45I'm going on a business trip.
02:47Even after I married Adrian, I kept my career.
02:50My life was never just him.
02:51Adrian stared at me, looking for any sign I was just lashing out.
02:55I gave him none.
02:56Because I was past Karen.
02:58Who he saw movies with.
03:00Who he spent the night with.
03:01Who he dated.
03:02I didn't care anymore.
03:04What time are you leaving?
03:06I'll book out the theater.
03:07We can watch it anytime.
03:10The calmer I was, the more it got under Adrian's spin.
03:14He decided I was just cellaring and tried to make it up to me anyway.
03:19Adrian, that movie's out of theaters.
03:21And I don't want to see it anymore.
03:27After that, Adrian suddenly turned on the charm.
03:38I wasn't surprised he knew my flight.
03:40Adrian hails the godfather.
03:42If he wants to know, my schedule's never a secret.
03:46But he never used to ask.
03:49When I got back, I saw his car the second I walked out of the airport.
03:54Tired?
03:55I'm fine.
03:56Then I got to the car and saw Mia in the front passenger seat.
04:05Clara, I'm riding with you.
04:06I'll give you the front seat in a sec.
04:09We'd fought over that seat before.
04:12Every time we went anywhere, Mia took it like it was hers.
04:15And I was just along for the ride.
04:18She was nearby, so we picked her up.
04:20She gets car sick.
04:21Let her sit up front for now.
04:25There were still two cars behind us.
04:27But she still had to sit next to my husband.
04:30And he explained it for her like it was completely normal.
04:34Good thing Adrian was nearby or I would have been stranded.
04:37Clara, if you don't believe me, check the group chat.
04:41That was their childhood friend's group chat.
04:43I wasn't in it.
04:45If you'd left me there, I would have gone straight to his parents.
04:49It's just a habit.
04:51I don't mean anything by it.
04:52After our last bite, she stopped touching him without thinking.
04:55Now she checked my face first.
04:57That little stunt used to get under my skin.
05:00Now I couldn't be bothered.
05:02Mia, get out.
05:03Take the car behind us.
05:05No need.
05:06I have a friend coming too.
05:08We'll sit in the back.
05:10Clara.
05:13Walking that fast?
05:14You trying to leave me at the airport?
05:16Don't you know the way?
05:17I'm new here.
05:18You're responsible for me.
05:19Noah is my business partner.
05:20The second he showed up, Adrian and Mia both froze.
05:24This is the friend you mentioned?
05:26Adrian was barely holding it together.
05:28Noah acted like he didn't notice.
05:31Noah.
05:31Claire's guy best friend.
05:33He shook Adrian's hand like it was nothing,
05:35tossed his luggage in the trunk,
05:37and climbed into the back seat.
05:38Claire, get in.
05:39It's hot out there.
05:41Claire, you really think it's appropriate to sit with another man?
05:45He's just a guy best friend.
05:46I glanced at Mia, still in the front passenger seat.
05:49Adrian was speechless.
05:50Noah kept me talking the whole ride.
05:52Front seat felt extra quiet.
05:56Back then, Mia never ran out of things to say.
05:59Embarrassing kid stories, gossip about their friends,
06:02always stuff I couldn't get a word in on.
06:06The guys want to get together again this weekend.
06:08Same place.
06:09You in or not?
06:11We'll see.
06:12But today, no matter how hard Mia tried to get a rise out of him,
06:17Adrian barely gave her anything.
06:21After we saw them out, Adrian and I went home.
06:24I had barely stepped in when I saw him in the living room, smoking.
06:29Leave us.
06:30That guy, what is he to you?
06:32My best friend.
06:36A six-foot man is your guy best friend?
06:39Claire, you went on that trip with him, didn't you?
06:41Days alone with another man.
06:43He got more worked up by the second.
06:46By the end, even my suitcase set him off.
06:48I snapped too.
06:50He's a good guy, and we get along.
06:53What's wrong with being friends?
06:55Everything.
06:56He's a man.
06:58So you get to have girl bros, but I can't have guy besties?
07:02I'd never seen that many emotions on Adrian's face at once.
07:05Shock, anger, and frustration.
07:07In the end, he practically bit the words out.
07:10Mia's different.
07:11We grew up together.
07:12If anything was going to happen, it would have happened by now.
07:15Noah and I are different too.
07:16Adrian, do you really have to be this petty?
07:19Can we trust each other or not?
07:24For the next few days, Adrian froze me out.
07:27No more Mia.
07:28No more Noah.
07:29He acted like if he stayed quiet long enough, the problem would just go away.
07:34I couldn't skip dinner with the Hales.
07:36Victor and Helen had always been good to me,
07:38and they still thought their son was just spoiled by the people around him.
07:43Victor had been the family boss.
07:45Even after he handed everything to Adrian,
07:47he still sat at the head of the table at family dinner.
07:50Clara, you've lost weight.
07:52She stayed in End City for you.
07:53You'd better value that.
07:59Clara, I...
08:01Adrian, you're actually back.
08:03Come hang out with us.
08:05Before, he would have let her hang all over him and smiled.
08:08Now he finally checks my face first.
08:10Oh, Clara's here too.
08:12Then I'd better keep my distance before somebody gets upset again.
08:15Adrian, you come back to the estate,
08:17and don't even text the group chat.
08:20If Mia hadn't seen you,
08:21you'd have bailed again.
08:23Everybody's here.
08:24Want to grab a drink?
08:26He wanted to go.
08:27One wave from the friends he grew up with,
08:29and he was ready to stay.
08:32You want to go sit with them for a while?
08:35They didn't want me there.
08:37They just wanted me to be gracious enough to let him go.
08:40That way they're the reasonable ones,
08:42and I'm the killjoy.
08:44Then I'll get a cab home.
08:46I'll be back early.
08:47Adrian, what, Clara's changed?
08:49She's not jealous of Mia anymore?
08:51By 11 o'clock, Adrian still wasn't home.
08:53I didn't ask.
08:55Noah and I were already headed to the busiest bar in End City with a few friends.
08:59We've got a meeting tomorrow,
09:00so tonight, you get this.
09:02Drink.
09:03Thanks.
09:04They're getting pretty wild over there.
09:06The old crew.
09:07Seven men and Mia.
09:08Bottles everywhere.
09:09Their laughter cut through the music.
09:11King's game!
09:11Mouth-to-mouth drink!
09:13Adrian, a bet's a bet.
09:16Wait, they made her take off her bra?
09:18And she actually did it?
09:20They play that dirty and still call themselves friends?
09:24Strangers had more sense than Adrian's whole crowd.
09:26Their so-called jokes were just cover for something vile.
09:30With everyone cheering them on, Adrian didn't stop it.
09:33He opened his mouth for her.
09:35It was disgusting.
09:36Clara.
09:42Clara, are you insane?
09:43We were just playing around.
09:45Yeah, we're just messing around.
09:49If you want to play, wait till Adrian and I are divorced.
09:54How could you humiliate me like that?
09:56I didn't humiliate you.
09:58You did that yourself.
09:59Clara, let's talk somewhere else.
10:01Don't touch me.
10:02I wasn't angry.
10:03I just felt filthy.
10:05She said don't touch her.
10:06Who the hell do you think you are?
10:08At least I know how boundaries work between friends.
10:16Clara, it was just a game.
10:18Mia always messes around like that.
10:19You lost your temper too.
10:24Fine.
10:25I won't mess around with them again.
10:28Clara, enough.
10:30It's not like I said you couldn't go out drinking with a bunch of guys.
10:34Move.
10:35Do you really have to make this such a big deal?
10:39Adrian, would you be fine with me sitting on Noah's lap while he fed me a drink mouth to mouth?
10:44No, you wouldn't.
10:45We just rode in the back seat together and you froze me out for days.
10:52That was different.
10:54How?
10:56I'm a man.
10:57You're a woman.
10:58No one's going to take advantage of me.
11:00That disgusted me more than what happened at the bar.
11:03So you always knew what Mia was doing was wrong.
11:06Cheap.
11:08Disgusting.
11:09You just liked the ego boost of having a woman throw herself at you, didn't you?
11:13That's not what this is.
11:14Then what is it?
11:15Once the excuse was gone, he had nothing left to say.
11:19I brought Noah around on purpose.
11:21To get under your skin.
11:22I used to think you just didn't understand boundaries.
11:25Now I know you did.
11:26You just liked it.
11:29Adrian, let's get divorced.
11:32Clara, I can change.
11:33Don't use divorce to scare me.
11:35I'm not trying to scare you.
11:36Adrian, let's get divorced.
11:38Or I'll think even less of you.
11:40Over a game?
11:41No.
11:42Over years of this.
11:43One bed, one ice cream, one glass, the front passenger seat, one movie.
11:47Each one seemed small on its own.
11:49Put together, that's what it sounds like when a marriage is slowly hollowed out.
11:55Adrian wouldn't agree to the divorce.
11:57He thought I just needed a few days to cool off.
12:01Clara, Adrian said you two had a fight.
12:03Come home for dinner tomorrow, okay?
12:05Helen, I'm getting a divorce.
12:08Did Adrian do something awful?
12:09Before I could answer, something louder answered for me.
12:13Who shot the video?
12:14No idea.
12:15By the next day, all of N-City knew about Adrian and Mia's girl best friend routine.
12:20That's not friendship.
12:21That's group flirting.
12:22Mia didn't take it well.
12:23She posted that dirty minds see dirt everywhere.
12:26She forgot she was the one always posting their boundary-cracking little moments.
12:30The worst one?
12:32She walked into the men-only spa area in a towel and got in the pool with the old crew.
12:37The photos she used to show off her special place ended up as evidence against her.
12:44This is the brother you told us about?
12:46How is Claire supposed to face people after this?
12:49Dad, Mom, me and I really didn't sleep together.
12:52You think that's the only issue?
12:55The backlash spread faster than anyone expected.
12:58Mia and Adrian went viral.
13:00The ones with girlfriends got dumped.
13:03The single ones got blacklisted.
13:06For the first time, they were always good at shutting outsiders out.
13:11This time, everyone was watching them.
13:17Adrian and I grew up together.
13:19We're closer than brothers.
13:20Brothers, what the hell do you people know?
13:24I didn't leak it, and I didn't defend myself.
13:28Sometimes the truth does more damage.
13:31Clara, what happened?
13:33Adrian said you're divorcing him.
13:35Did he hurt you?
13:36My parents always thought well of Adrian.
13:38They knew the man who brought me home and promised to take care of me.
13:43Even after he took over the Hale family, he never pulled rank with them.
13:46Back then, he really did mean it.
13:50This is unbelievable.
13:53Divorce him.
13:54But marriage isn't something you walk away from.
13:57Maybe he just lost his head.
13:59Mom, I'm tired.
14:01The Hale's lawyers and PR team cleaned it up overnight.
14:04They got the story off trending and wiped Mia's account.
14:07But the screenshots were already everywhere.
14:09But the internet remembers.
14:10And so do I.
14:13Clara, Adrian's in the hospital.
14:15He drank until he was vomiting blood.
14:17He was in emergency surgery all night.
14:20He kept calling your name.
14:21For the sake of what you were to each other.
14:23Go see him.
14:25That's Clara's decision.
14:27I knew what they wanted.
14:29I went anyway.
14:31Not because I felt sorry for him.
14:33Because some things had to be said to his face.
14:40Clara.
14:43When do you get out?
14:46Next week.
14:47Does that mean you'll forgive me?
14:48I swear.
14:49When you're discharged, we'll file for divorce.
14:52I didn't cheat.
14:55It was just messing around.
14:56If you hate it, I won't see them again.
14:59No.
15:01Adrian!
15:02I'm begging you.
15:03Please don't leave me.
15:04For a man as proud as him,
15:06this was the first time I'd ever seen him so wrecked.
15:09But I didn't feel moved.
15:11I was just tired.
15:13Adrian kneeling doesn't fix this.
15:15Clara, Adrian was a bastard.
15:17You have my word.
15:18If you don't divorce him,
15:20his properties, his savings,
15:21and his shares in the family holding company
15:24can all be transferred to you.
15:27The lawyers will draw it up.
15:29If there's ever a next time,
15:30I'll strip him of the family boss seat myself.
15:35Even the family boss seat was on the table.
15:38Everyone thought that should have been enough for me.
15:42Clara, the Hales mean it this time.
15:45Adrian knows he was wrong.
15:47Martha.
15:48I know what you're going to say.
15:50We can take care of Clara.
15:52But that baby shouldn't grow up without a father.
15:55Yes, I was pregnant.
15:57One month.
15:58I was going to have the baby on my own.
16:00But my parents found out first.
16:04Yes, I'm pregnant.
16:06But this baby isn't a reason for me to stay.
16:11Claire.
16:12We're having a baby.
16:14They all thought a baby would hold this marriage together.
16:17But I wasn't about to let a child become the thing that kept me trapped.
16:22I'll give you one chance.
16:24One month.
16:25If you have no contact with Mia,
16:27I won't move forward with the divorce for now.
16:30I promise.
16:31Block her.
16:32Leave the childhood friend's group chat.
16:34Unfollow all her accounts.
16:35No calls, no texts, no seeing her in person.
16:39Okay, I'll do it right now.
16:41All the parents relaxed.
16:42They thought it was too easy to be a real test.
16:45Only I knew Adrian was never going to win that bet.
16:50Here.
16:51Today's call records, message history, and social media accounts.
16:55You can check everything.
16:56He really had started keeping his word.
16:58Daily sneen shots, proactive check-ins,
17:01even the seating chart for company dinners ahead of time.
17:04You don't need to show me every day.
17:06I just want you to feel at ease.
17:09Kindness that comes too late is like expired medicine.
17:17You're not seriously getting back with your ex, are you?
17:19Not my ex yet.
17:20He will be.
17:22I'm just early.
17:23Noah looks unserious, but he never crosses a line.
17:26Even when he was comforting me, he knew exactly how much space to give me.
17:29So?
17:30Felt good making him jealous for a change, huh?
17:32It did.
17:33But Mia's not the problem.
17:35It's Adrian.
17:36Yeah.
17:38So what are you going to do?
17:39Schedule the surgery.
17:42You sure?
17:45I am.
17:46If you want to keep the baby, then I'm with you every step of the way.
17:50But you have to tell me the truth, Clara.
17:52Noah, I'm Clara before I'm anyone's mother.
17:55I was calmer than I expected when I said it, but I knew it was the truth, and that truth
17:59was non-negotiable.
18:01Okay.
18:01You decide.
18:02I'll go with you.
18:04Let me go over the test results and surgical risks one more time.
18:10Afterward, you'll need someone to take you home.
18:12Can a friend do that?
18:14Yes.
18:15Leave a number for whoever's coming with you.
18:18See a light there.
18:20I chose Mia's birthday on purpose.
18:27Helen sent this over.
18:28Have a little.
18:29Just leave it there.
18:33I might be tied up next Wednesday.
18:36Busy with what?
18:37The family holding company's board meeting.
18:41When Adrian lies, he touches his cufflink.
18:43I gave it to him in college.
18:45He doesn't even know he does it.
18:47Just a board meeting.
18:48I should be back tonight.
18:50Okay.
18:51Got everything.
18:52Driver, errand runner, luggage service.
18:54Full package today.
18:56You were up all night?
18:58Didn't want to oversleep and ruin my rep.
19:00I don't want this marriage anymore.
19:02But this baby, I want to keep.
19:06This surgery is to treat complications with the pregnancy.
19:10We'll do everything we can to save it.
19:12But I can't promise the outcome.
19:15There's still a chance, right?
19:16Yes.
19:17I've already gone over the risks with you.
19:20If you're scared, say it.
19:22You don't have to hold it together with me.
19:25I thought I'd already made peace with this.
19:28But when the doctor said we might lose the baby, I still couldn't let go.
19:33Then listen to the doctor.
19:34One step at a time.
19:35I'll be right outside.
19:37If Adrian calls...
19:39I'll get it.
19:39Before I went in, I checked my phone one more time.
19:42Even just one call to ask if I was okay today.
19:46Later, Noah told me that once I was in the operating room,
19:49he kept staring at the digital clock on the wall,
19:52checking it a dozen times a minute.
19:55At that exact moment, Adrian went to Mia's birthday party.
19:59Ten minutes, then I'm gone.
20:01You're already here.
20:02Who are you kidding?
20:03You're really going to ditch me over one video?
20:05Mia, I made Claire a promise.
20:07What about the promise you made me?
20:09You all said no one misses my birthday, so that meant nothing?
20:14I didn't find out till later she dragged out one of their old promises again.
20:18Adrian, just tonight.
20:20She's getting torn apart all over social media.
20:22Don't be so ruthless.
20:24Ten minutes.
20:27That so-called ten minutes turned into half an hour fast.
20:30One drink became two.
20:32Old promises turned into fresh excuses.
20:36Adrian, stand next to me when I cut the cake.
20:39As soon as it's cut, I'm leaving.
20:41You heard him.
20:42He leaves after the cake.
20:43Mia, let him do his duty and go.
20:45No stalling today?
20:49The bleeding's too heavy.
20:50Get ready to control it.
20:51I don't remember anything after that.
20:53Once the anesthesia hit, everything went black.
20:56She's bleeding badly.
20:58We're operating now.
20:59Are you her emergency contact?
21:00I am.
21:01How is she?
21:02What are you to her?
21:04A friend.
21:06Call her family now.
21:08If you know her medical history or what she's taking, tell us right away.
21:12He'll answer.
21:14First call, no answer.
21:16Second call, no answer.
21:18By the 13th, still nothing.
21:21Pick up, Adrian.
21:22Pick up.
21:24Have you reached her family?
21:26We're still operating.
21:27They need to get here now.
21:30I'll keep calling.
21:32Please take care of her.
21:34Who is that?
21:35Why do they keep calling?
21:37Probably Clara's guy best friend.
21:39Don't kill the mood.
21:40Let me see.
21:41Take a picture with me first.
21:43Yeah, do that first.
21:47Your wife's dying.
21:50How the hell are you out celebrating another woman's birthday?
21:54If you can't reach her husband, call someone who can.
21:58Noah told me later his mind went blank.
22:00He only remembered what the nurse said.
22:03If Adrian won't pick up, call someone who can reach him.
22:07Clara?
22:08Helen Hale.
22:09Clara's hemorrhaging.
22:10She's in emergency surgery at N-City Medical Center.
22:12Adrian isn't answering.
22:13Get here now.
22:14What hospital?
22:15N-City Medical Center.
22:17Please hurry.
22:19What happened?
22:20Clara's hemorrhaging in surgery, and Adrian won't answer his phone.
22:24Get me the men with Adrian.
22:26Bring the car around.
22:27Now!
22:37Adrian!
22:39Your wife's in emergency surgery, and you're here celebrating her birthday?
22:48What happened to Clara?
22:50You're asking?
22:53I didn't know it was this bad.
22:55You know, it is not to me today.
22:57I just, I'm dying to make me just to please her, but...
22:59Shut up!
22:59That day, the Hale family's image shattered in that private club.
23:02And for the first time, Helen didn't make excuses for Adrian.
23:19She almost died in there!
23:24Who's the spouse?
23:26I am.
23:27She's still in emergency surgery.
23:29This is the condition notice.
23:31He finally showed up.
23:37When I woke up, it was the next day.
23:39The room reeked of antiseptic.
23:41Curtains drawn.
23:43Noah was in the chair.
23:44Eyes red like he'd been up all night.
23:46You're awake.
23:47Do you hurt anywhere?
23:50What about the baby?
23:56It's gone.
23:58You had severe bleeding in surgery.
24:00They saved you.
24:03Lucky sounds small.
24:08Where's Adrian?
24:09On his knees outside.
24:12Help me out there.
24:13You just woke up.
24:14Some things are better said now.
24:20Helen came to see me.
24:23Said I'd suffered enough in the Hale family and the Waston Smoode.
24:30Clara.
24:34You lost.
24:41You picked today on purpose, didn't you?
24:43To force me to choose.
24:44To make me regret it.
24:45You're overthinking it.
24:46No matter what you do, this child, I don't want.
24:50I know very well you can't do it.
24:52Mia saved our lives in grade school.
24:55We got Tally's desire as a motion, her son.
24:57And we got trapped in a shipping container that year.
24:59And if she hadn't called for help, we'd be dead.
25:01So we promised we'd all be there every year on her birthday.
25:04If you're grateful to her, that's your business.
25:06But don't sacrifice my life for that promise.
25:10Clara, I know I was wrong.
25:12We lost the baby.
25:13I'm hurting too.
25:16You're hurting because the consequences finally hit you.
25:19If nothing had gone wrong that day, if I'd made it through surgery safely,
25:23he still would have said it was just a birthday.
25:25Just an old promise.
25:26Adrian, sign it.
25:28Dad, you don't get to beg her anymore.
25:31For once, they stopped asking me to forgive him.
25:33But I didn't need anyone to give me justice anymore.
25:37While I was in the hospital, Adrian came every day.
25:40Flowers, soup, little things I'd mentioned once.
25:43I didn't take any of it.
25:45Clara, Helen made the soup.
25:48If you don't want to see me, I'll leave it and go.
25:51No.
25:53I'll cooperate with the divorce.
25:54But until it's final, can I still take care of you?
25:58No.
25:59Adrian, don't confuse guilt with love.
26:04I just want to see Adrian.
26:05From today on, the Hale family wants nothing to do with you.
26:10Victor, you can't do this.
26:11I saved them.
26:12Saving their lives doesn't give you a free pass to destroy someone else's marriage.
26:17I later found out that Victor and Helen saw Adrian with the old crew at the Hart family's private club.
26:22After that, several families withdrawn their business and protection from the Hart's.
26:27Come home with us after you're discharged, okay?
26:30Once the paperwork's done.
26:31Adrian agreed to the divorce.
26:33He still wanted me back.
26:34But Victor wouldn't let him use the family to stop me.
26:38This is compensation, not a deal.
26:41You can refuse it.
26:43The Hales won't interfere with whatever you decide.
26:45I'll take only what I'm legally entitled to.
26:47Clara, if you ever need anything, we're here.
26:52I'll cooperate and finish the paperwork.
26:54But I'm not giving up.
26:55That's your problem.
26:57I wasn't responsible for his feelings anymore.
27:00And I wasn't going to make room for his pain again.
27:07You're leaving the country next week.
27:09Everything's arranged.
27:10And until your father says otherwise, don't come back.
27:12Why?
27:13They used to spoil me.
27:14The Hale family pulled out.
27:15The others are backing away, too.
27:16Haven't you done enough to this family?
27:19When all she did was torment another man's wife, they called her a princess.
27:23The second she threatened the family's interests, she was disposable.
27:28While the paperwork was pending, Adrian texted me every day.
27:32Apologies, confessions, nostalgia.
27:35Same play, different script.
27:37I just followed the process.
27:40Signed what I had to.
27:41Packed what was mine.
27:43Said the goodbyes that had to be said.
27:47I can help you move.
27:49No.
27:51Clara, at least let me do something.
27:54Then show up on time and sign the papers.
27:57I really did cut.
27:58I really did cut Mia off.
28:00Good.
28:00But that wasn't for me.
28:01You should have done it a long time ago.
28:07I've got the boxes.
28:09Adrian, move.
28:15I'm not going.
28:16You don't have a choice.
28:20Mia, lie low for now.
28:22Wait for this to blow over.
28:24Blow over?
28:25They've all cut me off.
28:26Adrian blocked me, too.
28:28She really thought their indulgence would last forever.
28:31But that crowd was never going to sacrifice their own interests for her.
28:37Your girl best friend?
28:38Yeah, I'm not putting up with that.
28:40That was in the past.
28:41Oh, yeah?
28:42Was that video from the past, too?
28:46They went quiet, backed off, started scrubbing themselves out of Mia's story.
28:50This is all Clara's fault.
28:51If she disappears, everything goes back to the way it was.
28:55By the time the divorce was almost done, I'd already booked my flight home.
28:59Snow had started falling in End City, like winter was washing my old life away.
29:03No, I'll go alone.
29:05Then text me when you're done.
29:07Noah always knew how to respect boundaries.
29:09He never made my choices for me.
29:11He was just there when I needed him.
29:19You came.
29:20Let's go in.
29:23Any objections to the divorce settlement or the asset division?
29:27No.
29:31Mr. Hale?
29:34No.
29:35That document ended the longest dream of my life in End City.
29:40Clara, give me one more chance.
29:43It's done.
29:44I know.
29:45I'm not asking you to undo it.
29:46I'm asking you to let me win you back.
29:51I'll wait.
29:52However long it takes.
29:53I was an asshole.
29:54I had no boundaries.
29:55I hurt you too badly.
29:56Adrian, an apology doesn't mean we start over.
29:59No.
30:01I love you.
30:03You're just not used to losing me.
30:05His tall frame caved in, like his own regret was finally crushing him.
30:09But regret doesn't turn back time.
30:11Let go.
30:12Let me take you home.
30:13Just this once.
30:15Neither of us noticed the car had already turned toward me.
30:22It all happened so fast.
30:24By the time I processed it, Adrian was already lying in a pool of blood.
30:34I'm sorry.
30:35Call 911.
30:37Hurry, call 911.
30:40Why him?
30:42Clara, why'd it have to be him instead of you?
30:44If it weren't for you, they would have to be him instead of you.
30:46If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have torn me away.
30:57She'd lost her mind.
30:58She thought if I died, everything would go back to the way it was.
31:04Adrian was rushed into the ambulance.
31:06Mia was shoved into a squad car.
31:09On that street, no one could pretend it was all just messing around anymore.
31:14Later, police revealed the hearts were sending Mia out of the country, and never letting her come back to End
31:19City.
31:20To protect their own interests, her childhood friends cut ties with her one by one.
31:26Clara ruined me.
31:27You drove the car.
31:29You used a knife.
31:30I just wanted back what was mine.
31:32Those people aren't yours.
31:36Clara, go home and get some rest.
31:38I'm waiting for the results.
31:40I hated Adrian.
31:41I was leaving him.
31:42He did save my life, and I won't deny that.
31:45But it doesn't change how this ends.
31:49He made it.
31:50But the spinal cord damage is severe.
31:52He may not be able to walk normally for a long time, and he'll need long-term rehab.
31:57Adrian survived, but he was left partially paralyzed.
32:01Mia got a long prison sentence for vehicular assault and a knife attack.
32:05No one could pass it off as a joke anymore.
32:08Later, I heard she got into a fight in prison, and her face was slashed.
32:12The face she loved flaunting became part of the price she paid.
32:18Clara, Adrian saved your life.
32:20He's the one falling apart now.
32:22Can you stay with him through this?
32:25He used to tell me that same thing.
32:26To be the bigger person.
32:28Not this time.
32:30Clara, could you go in and see him?
32:33Just for a second.
32:38You came.
32:39Thank you for saving me.
32:45I know.
32:47I don't get to ask you to stay.
32:49This isn't a death sentence.
32:51If you keep up rehab...
32:54So you will.
32:55I'm going back home.
32:56You know that.
32:58If not for you...
33:01I'm an only child.
33:02My parents need me, too.
33:05A piece of trash like me should rot in the dirt.
33:07Adrian, don't use your self-destruction to hold people hostage.
33:12We have our own lives now.
33:15You don't get to affect mine anymore.
33:18The sunlight fell on the bed beside the hospital bed.
33:21I could finally look at him calmly.
33:24The day I left End City, Noah drove me to the airport.
33:28The snow had stopped.
33:30A thin layer of white still covered the roadside.
33:34So you're really not taking me with you?
33:36Free driver, free baggage handler.
33:37This offer won't last.
33:39Wouldn't your girl get jealous?
33:41Noah's first love died after an illness.
33:44It's been years, and he still covers that wound with a careless smile.
33:48She had a hell of a temper.
33:49I wouldn't risk it.
33:50Good.
33:51After all these years, you still understand boundaries.
33:54Of course.
33:54Even a guy best friend needs boundaries.
33:57Clara, when you get back, live well.
33:59I will.
34:02I left the marriage, the child, and the old circle in End City.
34:06Leaving didn't mean I lost.
34:07It wasn't running.
34:09I was finally choosing myself.
34:15Later, I heard things out of End City.
34:17Adrian took two years to get back on his feet.
34:20By then, the family had already picked a new boss and handed off his business.
34:24I never asked, and I never avoided it.
34:27When someone's name stops feeling like a wound and starts sounding like ordinary news, it's over.
34:35Cut it out.
34:36The soup's about to boil over.
34:38Spending New Year's alone again?
34:40If you are, come stay with my parents for a few days.
34:43Not bad.
34:44All these years later, and you still know how to act right.
34:47I laughed out loud.
34:48A real relationship never needs crossed boundaries to prove it's close.
34:52My name is Clara.
34:54After leaving End City, I finally got my own life back.
34:56End City, I finally got my own life back.
