All language subtitles for Life Sentence 1x13 - Then and Now

Previously on Life Sentence...

It's raining... in our bar.

Half the building needs new piping.

So we gonna need some
fast cash to repair it?

Possibly.

Can I ask what's going
on between you and that doctor?

He kissed me last night. I stopped it.

You'd better figure this out

before he causes permanent damage.

There are too many people
in your relationship, Wes.

When you married my daughter,

we had an agreement
you'd take care of her.

- And I have.
- Really?

By messing around
with your former girlfriend?

You're right. There are too many
people in this relationship.

What happened?

He collapsed outside our apartment.

Your father's recovering.
The procedure went well.

- I still want to make this work.
- So do I.

But we keep running into walls.

And I don't know which way to turn.

Your dad's surgeon
reported me to management,

and the hospital put me
on a temporary suspension.

Me taking a break from here,
it's not a bad thing.

Once upon a time,

all I wanted was to find someone

who would tell me he loved me.

But things were simpler back then.

For one, I was dying...

It's not over.

There are more aggressive options.

- We've beat this before...
- No.

What do you mean ?No??

I don't want to do this anymore.

It's not working.

And it's really painful and exhausting.

And doing the same thing over and over

and expecting different
results, it's crazy.

Stella, you have to keep fighting.

If you don't want the chemo, honey,
we'll find something else.

You can't give up, sis.

I'm not giving up.

I'm giving in...

to fate, to destiny,

to hope that... that maybe this is

all part of some greater plan.

I want to do big things

with whatever time I have left.

I want to climb a mountain.

And I want to stand
under the Eiffel Tower.

And I... I want to fall in love.

Okay, then.

Let's get you out of here.

But nothing's that simple anymore.

Will, wait!

Will!

Why are you trying to ruin my marriage?

Stella, if your marriage is solid,

then I can't ruin it by...
by telling you how I feel.

I'm sorry, but th-that is not my fault.

I did not ask you
to fall in love with me.

No, you just made it impossible not to.

- How did I do that?!
- By being you, Stella.

Can you please just be honest with me

about how you feel?

I love Wes.

No. How you feel about me.

I can't answer that.

Well, then I can't walk away from this.

Well, maybe you can't, but I can.

I said it. Now all I had
to do is believe it.

Hi. My name is Stella Jane Abbott.

And if you're watching this,
I'm already dead.

But don't be sad for me.

I had an amazing life.

And before I died,

I got to marry the man of my dreams.

In fact, my only regret is

that I have to leave him behind.

Which is why...

I want you to marry my husband.

This is him...

Wesley Charles.

But it's ?Wes? for short.

Although he is not short.
He is 6 feet tall

and has a smile so warm

that it wraps itself around you.

Here are some things

that I love the most about him.

He is British,

so his accent adds
this sexy sophistication

to everything he says.

He could be reading a grocery list,
and you're just like,

?Shut up, why are you so hot
and brilliant??

He's a crazy romantic.

And when he looks at you,

the whole world just falls away.

Basically, he is the greatest man

I have ever known.

So, if you think you are deserving

of marrying a man like my husband,

then you need to speak up

and let him know
that it's okay to love again.

And, Wes, if you're watching this,

my hope for you is a long, amazing life,

so full of happiness

that you forget all about me...

...until one day when we meet again.

For now and always...

I love you.

I forgot I made that.

I set it to post
after I was sure that I'd...

That is the nicest thing

anyone's ever done for me.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Why are you crying?

I came so close to losing my dad,

and it just...

reminded me of how
not ready I am to lose him.

Or you.

He is not going anywhere, okay?

And neither am I.

I can't believe we almost lost him.

I can't believe that we found a
worse way to spend the night

than sitting through
a kindergarten play.

As the next few days passed,

we all took shifts
taking care of my dad.

But he wasn't the only one in that room

who was trying to recover.

I have some good news.

Mr. Abbott...

...your vitals are strong
and consistent enough

that I can send you home tomorrow.

How about that?

Oh, my God!

I took them all out of hiding,

so you wouldn't be startled

and have another heart attack.

All right, well, let's get
this party started. Come on.

Who wants gnome cake?

Thanks for today.

I really appreciate
you being there for me.

We're always here for you.

No matter what.

I'm glad you feel that way, because
I have something to tell you...

I'm gonna pop the question!

Dad, you and Gina just met.

And you're crushing it with the ladies.

Not the time to commit, playa!

Playa's already committed.

But not to Gina.

I'm talking about your mother.

I'm gonna win her back.

- Do you think Mom wants to come back?
- I don't know.

But I just realized
that when she left me...

I fought with her,

but I never really fought for her.

Let's not forget, Mom's a bi...

That means I've got a 50/50 shot.

I'll take those odds.

Mm, don't really think
it works that way.

Dad, what about Gina?

I have to break up with her.

I have to listen to my heart.

That's what this second
chance is for me.

It's a chance for me to listen,

to show your mom that I can do that now.

But I'm gonna need your help.

Tomorrow night...
at our anniversary party.

You're not having an anniversary party.

Yes, we are.

And you're throwing it.

Ah.

- So... we'll do it at the bar, Aiden?
- Yep.

Lizzie, you can help me
with my speech...

Peter: ...and, Stella...

you can make it romantic...

candles, flowers, the whole shebang.

Dad, a-are you sure about this?

I've never been more sure of anything.

Part of me thought he was crazy.

But I guess I used to be
that crazy, too.

You sure about this?

I have never been more sure

about anything in my life.

My family is gonna
fall in love with you.

I just feel like
we should have given them

a heads up that we were engaged...

or that I exist.

There she is!

Oh, she looks so grown up.

- Stella!
- Hi!

Welcome home!

Oh.

Who is this?

This is Wes.

Hi. Very nice to meet all of you.

Oh, he's British, isn't he?

Yes, Mom. And he's also amazing.

And he's my fianc�.

We got engaged!

- It was so romantic...
- Oh!

- He...
- Oh, my...

Daddy.

You okay?

It's just... all happening so fast.

Well, it's not like
I can really take my time.

Congratulations.

Seeing my father make the most
of his second chance

made me wonder if I was making
the most of mine.

Okay, so that was Gina on the phone.

She wants to meet with me.

Your father broke her heart,

and now she wants to ruin my career.

This... This could not get any worse.

Oh, no, wait.

I also have to lie to your mother

about your father's big surprise.

I'm a very bad liar, babe.

Gina is not going to ruin your career

because my father broke up with her.

Your father broke up with Gina?

I should go away.

Oh, Lizzie, I feel awful.

- I'm gonna call Gina.
- No, no, no.

I think you might
want to give her a minute.

Or longer.

Hey, listen, Stella, Aiden
and I were thinking that

we should do family dinner
at the bar tomorrow night.

You know, with everything
that's happened,

it might be nice for all of us
to be together.

I think that is so sweet, dear.

I'd love to.

I have to admit, I'm sorry to
hear that Gina won't be there.

She really made your father happy.

And she made my eyes happy.

Mama couldn't touch, but she could look.

Oh, hey.

Thanks for grabbing those for the party.

I would've been here sooner,

but I just got accosted
at Ophelia's Flowers.

A woman wanted to help me
take these to your grave.

I'm guessing she saw the video.

Wow.

Well, we'll just take it down.

I don't know how much
good that's gonna do.

It's already been reposted
a bunch of times.

Then we'll make another one.

I think you're going a little bit
overboard with the lighting.

I just want everyone to see
how healthy I am

and how happy we are.

Okay.

- You ready?
- Yeah.

Okay. We are live.

Hi, my name is Stella Jane Abbott,

and I do not want you
to marry my husband.

Turns out I'm not drying after all.

And we are going to live
happily ever after.

Hmm.

Didn't realize
you could comment in real time.

This is fun.

Wait, what?

W-Why would he be freaking out?

Oh, no, I'm not freaking out.

I am really very excited
about our future together.

What does our future look like?

Well...

Uh, we are setting down roots
here in Asheville.

We will buy a house someday.

Uh, we'll start a family...

Listening to Wes tell the world

exactly what he wanted our future to be

made me realize
I had no idea what I wanted.

Is that what I want?

I guess living in the...
in the house I grew up in,

in the town I grew up in,

a-and running the hospital
that I basically grew up in...

seems kinda small

considering there's
a whole world out there.

But it could be great, who knows?

The point is, we are great today

and we are figuring out tomorrow

'cause I'm not dead.

So... bye.

- Thanks a lot.
- What did I do?

You just told the whole world
what our future looks like

and put me on the spot
to agree with you,

which makes it seem like
we're not on solid ground,

- which was the whole point.
- All I did was pitch

a pretty harmless future for us,

and you totally freaked out.

I did not freak out. I didn't.

And I hate when you accuse me
of freaking out when I'm not,

because that makes me freak out,

so it turns into some
self-fulfilling prophecy

- where I act like a lunatic.
- Stella.

- What?
- We're still live.

Oh, crap.

Stell, what are you doing?

Responding to all

these ridiculous comments on our video

about how we clearly weren't planning on

having an actual future together.

Well... we weren't, were we?

No.

But now we are...

so we will figure it out, Hater282.

We'll figure it out, right?

Of course we will.

So let's talk about it.

Our future... Let's figure it out.

Right now?

Seems like a lot to go into

before we've even had coffee.

I just feel all this crazy pressure.

I'm not pressuring you.

Well, that doesn't stop me
from feeling it.

And it doesn't stop them
from mocking us.

It's about the bar.

I forgot I have a meeting

with a potential buyer today.

Yeah, go ahead. I'll just be here.

Defending our marriage.

Wes, hey!

Your friend here was just telling me

his company may be
interested in your offer

to sell the bar.

Now, I'm gonna go through the numbers

and be in touch.

Oh, great. Thank you so much, Richard.

Yeah, thanks a million, Dick!

You were gonna sell my bar

without talking to me first?

Okay. Our bar.

And I'm sorry I didn't tell you,

but Richard's company
could take over our lease,

and pay back the debt...

So we walk away with nothing

but your stupid sex painting?

Yes. I know that is a sex painting.

And while I am grossed out,
because it's my sister,

I have to admit it's kind of cool,

and I can't believe I've never made one.

Aiden, look, we can't reopen
without running water.

So, what would you say if, uh...

if I found the money?

I would say that you have robbed a bank,

or you've made a deal
with a dark wizard,

because there is literally
nothing I haven't tried.

Are you sure you're not just

giving up on this partnership,

because you're worried about
your other partnership?

And I'm not giving up this place.

So... I'm gonna find another way.

Be my guest.

Hey, sis. I will need one free coffee

and a free muffin stat.

You do realize I'm standing right here.

I do, but I am broke and hungry.

Plus I have an important meeting

with a potential investor.

- That's great.
- Seriously?

Who would be rich enough and dumb enough

to invest in you?

Oh, my God, Stella!

- Marlene.
- Hey!

You better ask her for money fast,
before she ruins my floors.

- My water just broke.
- Too late.

Uh... do you need a ride
to the hospital?

- Um...
- You don't have a car.

Or a license.

Huh?

All right, baby on board. Let's do this.

Good luck.

Stella.

Hey, can we talk?

There's nothing left to talk about.

I think I made that perfectly clear.

I don't think that we should
even see each other anymore.

Okay, well, that shouldn't be a problem.

I'm leaving Asheville tonight.

Do you... just have five
minutes so we can say goodbye?

So, where are you going?

Papua New Guinea.

People don't go to Papua New Guinea.

Well, they do if Doctors Without
Borders stations them there.

Truth is, this is something
I've always wanted to do, you know.

Help people that really needed me,

to go see the world.

Well, that sounds amazing.

Come with me.

I can't come with you.

My whole life is here.

No, Stella, your past is here.

But your future
could be bigger than this.

Great.
So, you saw me freak out on social media

about my life being too small and...

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

You can't expect me
to pack up my life and...

and leave with you tonight.

This is the real world.
It's not a movie.

I'm not asking you to come tonight.

You can come whenever you're ready.

You know, stay as long as you want.

I'm not asking you to marry me.
I'm just...

I'm asking you to live.

Oh, and, uh, for the record,

there's nothing wrong
with living in a movie.

What if Will was right?

What if my future

was supposed to be bigger than this?

- What if...
- Stella.

- Sadie.
- Hey.

What are you doing here?

I leave for Seattle today

for the rest of the trial,

so my Aunt Cindy and I
wanted to come see you.

Because you took
such good care of our girl,

I was able to save up enough
vacation time to go with her,

so thank you.

Well, most of the time,

it felt like she was taking care of me.

Because I was.

Stella's a hot mess.

We should probably get going.

I'll meet you at the car?

- Yeah.
- Bye-bye.

Bye.

I don't want to say goodbye,

'cause it feels like bad luck.

Sadie, you're gonna make it
through this trial.

And you are going to graduate

from high school with honors,

and go to college
somewhere warm and sunny,

and you're probably
gonna become a doctor.

Or president.

Or a doctor president.

You have an oddly clear
vision of my future.

Yeah.

Now I just need one for my own.

Well, thanks for believing in me.

And for being my best friend.

Fun fact... when we first
met, I didn't even like you.

Come here.

Thank you.

There you go.

- There?
- Uh-huh.

Again.

Hey!

He isn't supposed to see the bride

- before the wedding.
- Mm.

We're not really worried about bad luck.

Let me do that.

The ceremony starts in 20.

All right. See you out there.

You most certainly will.

- Wes...
- I know.

You don't like me.

It's not that I don't like you.

It's just,

I've spent the past eight years

trying to prepare myself for the fact

that I might lose my little girl.

And now I feel like
I'm losing her twice.

I get that.

I will take care of her, Mr. Abbott.

I will give Stella a lifetime of love

over these next eight months.

In that case...

welcome to the family, son.

Ah.

- This place is looking great!
- Ah.

Perfect for sweeping Ida off her feet.

I really hope she says yes.

I could use the inspiration.

What's goin' on?

Oh, no, nothing. Nothing.

I just, um...

It's just what you said
about me and Stella.

I just... I feel like I'm failing her.

- I don't know.
- Hey.

You saved her.

You're the reason

she agreed to do the clinical trial.

If it wasn't for you,

we'd all have lost her.

I still might.

I've tried everything I can think of

to make her happy.

But I know she's questioning
her future with me.

You know, when Ida and I got married,

everything we had was old and borrowed.

The only thing blue was
the discount tux I wore.

For our something new,

Ida asked me to get these
specific champagne flutes

for the toast.

So, I went to get them.

but then I saw these expensive
Waterford crystal ones.

And I decided to show off.

Well, later, I realized
the flutes she asked me for

were the same kind

her grandparents toasted with
at their wedding.

But I couldn't see that then,

because I was too wrapped
up in my own idea

of what would make her happy.

So...

This time...

...I'm getting out of the way.

Wow.

Son, there are times
when the person you love

is telling you exactly what they need.

You just have to listen.

So, that's my pitch.

Considering the high
volume of foot traffic,

the POS retail channel,

not to mention certain non-liquid
assets like my face and body,

I think we got a real chance

to do something special here. G.

Fantastic presentation.

So, what do you say? Are you in?

Yeah, I can't.

Come on. Why not?

I'm sorry. This is your moment.

And you are gonna crush it in there.

Do you want me to come in, or...?

Uh, no, I'm gonna be fine.

And so are you.

So, I'm gonna go find a doctor

so they can officially
pronounce my dreams dead.

Hey, for what it's worth,
I was impressed, too.

You know your stuff.

Thanks.

You know, it's funny.

My whole life,
I've basically been handed everything,

and the one time
I work hard for something,

I don't get to keep it.

Hey, maybe the investor
you're looking for

is right around the corner.

Look at you two.

Still together.

Must be so easy to be happy

when your smiles are painted on.

Do you think they
have carrot ginger cake?

Let me guess, you're looking for a...

Hey, it's you.

You're the girl I gave a free cake to

because you were dying.

Oh, man, why am I so gullible?

Oh, no! I was dying.

But I got better.

Anyway, I need an anniversary cake.

Anniversary?

That is awesome!

The thought of
your beautiful cancer movie

coming to an end

really broke my heart.

But now that you're hitting
this milestone,

that's just, um...

You know what?

I'm gonna give you another free cake.

- We'll take that one.
- Okay. I'll box it up.

Hey.

What is happening?

I'm...

I'm just not sure that Wes and I

are gonna make it to a year.

I just...

I don't know what our future looks like.

I-I can't even imagine it.

Well, maybe that's because
you haven't really tried.

Everything you've done
since you were cured

has been kind of...

a stall.

- No, it hasn't.
- Stell.

You took the first job you could find.

You focused on your marriage
instead of yourself.

If you really want to figure things out,

you might just need to be
selfish for a minute.

I can't be selfish.

There's too many people
to take into consideration.

People that have sacrificed
too much for me...

Hey, listen to me.

You owe it to yourself

to make the most of your second chance,

whatever that means,

because if you don't,

everything we all did to get you here

will have been for nothing.

That night, it felt like it took an hour

to walk the 31 steps to Wes's bar.

My conversation with Lizzie

started so many things
rattling around in my head.

Why could I only see the past with Wes

and not the future?

And what about Will?

What do I want my life to be?

Where do I even start?

- Hey.
- Hi.

All right, your mother
will be here any minute.

I think you should all hide
when she gets here,

so she doesn't feel like
she's being ambushed.

When do you want us to come out?

Uh, right after she says ?yes.?

And what if she doesn't say yes?

You stay in your hiding place

until I die of embarrassment

or you die of natural causes.

Whichever comes first.

You feeling okay, Daddy?

Just nervous.

Why? It's not like it's the first time

you asked Mom to marry you.

Right, but the last time,

it was a foregone conclusion.

Why was it a foregone conclusion, Dad?

Because...

she was pregnant with you.

Oh!

Wait, what?

You guys got married

because M-Mom was pregnant?

No, we got married

because we loved each other.

We just did it quickly,

so you wouldn't be a bastard.

Oh!

But I don't regret it for one second.

If we hadn't gotten married,

none of you kids would be standing here.

I would.

Hey! Mom's car just pulled up.

You ready, Dad?

Are you ready, sis?

Yeah, I am.

I was kind of hoping you'd say no

'cause I totally lost the rings.

Not funny.

- Oh, my God, are you serious?
- No.

I'm not that high.

Hey, I need you to do me a favour.

Anything.

Will you keep an eye on Wes for me?

He-He's gonna need somebody
to look out for him

- after I'm gone and...
- Absolutely.

You have my word.

Thank you.

It's show time.

- Hello, Peter.
- Ida.

Where is everyone?

They're gonna join us in a minute.

I wanted to say something to you
in private first.

I know I can't change the past.

But I can change the future.

Our future.

I want to spend the rest
of my life with you,

Ida Kaminsky Abbott.

And I promise,

this time things are gonna be different.

Stella Jane Abbott,

I vow to love you
for the rest of your life.

I promise to be open and honest with you

from this moment on.

To let you grow and explore

without jealousy or hesitation.

Wesley Edward Charles,

I vow to love you
for the rest of my life.

Even though you have three first names,

which make you sound like
a serial killer.

I promise to figure out
how to retire in Tuscany...

...like we always dreamed about.

You can paint.

I can farm.

Or you can farm and I can paint.

We'll keep it loose.

We can have chickens.

I vow to make every day together
an adventure.

And after I die, I vow to haunt you.

Because I know you've always
wanted to meet a ghost.

And most importantly...

...I promise...

...to listen to you always.

Ohh.

'Cause knowing
what's in your heart, Ida,

is the most important thing to me.

So...

...will you do me the honor

of being my wife all over again?

No.

Oh, Peter.

Don't you see?

You just told me

how much you want
to move forward with our lives,

but getting married is a step backwards.

We tried that.

And to try the same thing over and over

and expect different results

would be crazy.

I get it.

The answer is no.

Yes. My answer is no.

But...

you asked the wrong question.

What's the right question?

?Will you go out on a date with me??

So, what do you say?

Will you go on a date with me tomorrow?

Ah, no. I have plans.

I'm kidding.

I'd love to.

As I watched my mom and dad

take a step into their future,

I finally felt clear about mine.

Yes!

Surprise!

Surprise.

Oh, my goodness. You're all here.

Wes...

- ...I think...
- We should break up.

Wes, listen...

Look, Stella, please don't,

or I might not have the courage

to see this through.

I wasn't gonna stop you.

I was gonna say the same thing.

I know.

I feel like you've been trying

to say that for a while, but...

Look, I love you too much to let you go.

And I love you too much to not let you.

On our wedding day,

I promised your father

that I would take care of you.

And I know now

that the only way I can really do that

is to let you go.

You'll never be able to figure out

what you want out of life

if you have to worry about
keeping our marriage afloat.

Listen, the truth is,

it just hasn't been as buoyant
as we'd have hoped.

But, you know what? That's okay.

Because our marriage was a life boat.

And I think that it's done
exactly what it needed to do.

It saved us both.

It was meant to be, Stell.

It just wasn't meant to be forever.

I want you to know that...

you kept that other promise

that you made to my father
on our wedding day.

You have given me a lifetime of love

in these last eight months.

You heard that?

I would have died happy, Wes.

Well, actually, if you think about it...

...things are turning out
just the way we planned.

I'm still gonna love you
for the rest of my life.

You're just not gonna be around
to see it.

I am going to love you
for the rest of mine, too.

No matter what.

Come on.

We decided to keep
our decision to ourselves.

At least for now.

This was Mom and Dad's night.

- Hey.
- Where are you going?

To start making the most
of my second chance.

I don't know exactly what that means,

but good luck.

Thanks.

That really was a good idea.

I know, right?

Hey, is everything okay
with you and Stella?

So... is now a bad time to tell you

that I found an investor
to save the bar?

Will.

Will!

Hi.

You came.

I got to be honest,
I didn't think that you would,

but I'm so glad that you did.

No, Will, I'm not going with you.

I came here because
I owe you an explanation.

You don't owe me anything.

Stella, all I wanted
was for you to be happy.

I just thought it might be with me.

I-I've got to figure out
how to make myself happy

before I can be happy with anyone else.

But I needed to thank you
for reminding me

of how big my future can be.

And for that, I will always...

...be grateful.

You know, before I met you,
my heart was in pieces,

and you helped me figure out
how to put it back together.

And for that,

I will always...

...be grateful.

I'll see you around, Mighty Mouse.

Cheers.

Ahh.

Wes, listen.

I don't want you to feel like

you have to stick around Asheville

for the bar.

If I learned anything from tonight,

it's that if you love someone,
you got to set them free.

You love me?

Of course I do.

You're my brother.

Plus, having you around
makes me miss Obama less.

Seriously though.

I don't want you to feel like

you owe it to me to stay here.

Thank you for saying that, man.

But I am not going anywhere.

- Really?
- This is my home.

This is my bar.

Our bar.

I'm not going anywhere.

Thank God.

All right, so,
tell me about this investor.

Silent partner.

No control over anything in the bar.

Still ours 100%.

But there's, you know,
one little condition.

To the left.

Left. My left.

Now up.

Up. Let me explain. Not down.

Yes, ma'am.

How's this?

I thought you said ?silent partner.?

Turns out Finley turned 21 last week,

which means two things...

one, she can drink,

and two, she just gained access

to a bunch of money
her grandmother left her.

She's using her grandmother's legacy

to buy into a bar?

My grandma was an alcoholic,

so I thought it's what
she would've wanted.

I'm sentimental that way.

Hey! Your body's 2/3 water

so you can wait to drink
on your own time.

- Yes, ma'am.
- She's gonna be fun to have around.

It was strange being on my own
for the first time,

but I knew everything
was going to be okay.

I needed to focus on me.

For now, anyway.

And, Wes, if you're watching this,

my hope for you is a long, amazing life

so full of happiness

that you forget all about me

until one day when we meet again.

Now and always, I love you.

Hey.

You ready, missus?

I sure am, mister.
