Original subtitles

Sorry about that. Let's try it one more time, huh?

Before you panic

You won't go to jail for this, Phil.

Okay, you can't. You didn't do it.

But I got away with a lot of things that I did do. You know, maybe this is just

the universe's way of evening things out.

Like shawarma?

Karma.

Shawarma's why we keep meat.

Okay, what else? This can't happen, Phil. Okay, you won't go to prison for

this. Like, something will happen.

Okay, remember when we tried to frame Warren for stealing that math test?

Mm-hmm. This is like the same thing.

That didn't work out too well for us. No, that's what I'm saying. Now we're on

the other side.

Now we're the frameys, not the framers.

Okay, something will happen that'll be good for us this time.

And that'll turn everything around. I know it.

You have such a positive spirit, Adriana.

I know, right?

I mean, I kind of have to.

Things can't get much worse. I mean, my mom left.

My dad blew up. I'm 18 and pregnant.

I mean, my boyfriend can't go to jail, too, can he?

Well, let's make a deal.

Okay? If something happens, like you said, we catch a break, I don't go to

jail, I don't want to be your boyfriend anymore.

What? I want to be your husband.

I performed here actually ran off stage, so I guess we're making progress, huh?

Yeah.

All right, I think you guys know this one, so feel free to sing along.

Call me, honey.

What's wrong?

He left me.

Tyler? He packed his things and he left me.

Is that so surprising?

Yes.

We were making plans. We were supposed to move to New York together.

So sorry, honey.

Did you know something about this?

I swear I could feel Eddie's presence as soon as I started singing.

Is that the reason for the pause?

That was just showmanship, Mom.

Lauren, what happened?

I thought I saw Eddie up by Max's apartment.

No, it wasn't him.

I know.

Maybe it was him.

Kelly, it wasn't him. I hope not.

I hope he's so far away from this place and two dozen policemen near.

So there's actually a change in plans.

I'm going to sing a song that Eddie Duran wrote.

I think at first it was really misunderstood, but I just feel it's so

beautiful and heartfelt.

I think you guys will like it.

They say two roles are never right.

But nothing's final A thousand thoughts, a million

fears And still a smile When you run too fast

Asking me to marry you? No.

But I will.

As soon as I don't have to worry about going to jail, I'm going to get down on

one knee, and I'm going to ask you to be my wife.

What do you think you might say?

I don't... I don't know.

It's really scary.

Everything's scary right now, Aiden.

I'm 18. I never imagined myself being in this spot. I know. Me too.

Here we are.

You don't have to think about it.

Look, you don't have to decide right away.

Just think about it.

What if I'm not ready?

I'm still going to ask you.

Tyler, Osbourne Silver, forget Grease, the hell with musicals, the hell with

making people laugh.

I want grit.

I want to make it raw, all right? And I want to do it with you.

He's still not answering.

You know something about this, don't you?

You always tell me that what I know couldn't fit in a teacup. So why are you

so anxious to hear what I know now?

Tyler is many things. He's sneaky, underhanded, dishonest, but he is

predictable. And I always know what he's going to do two days before he even does

it. But this I didn't see coming. Well, Tyler and I did have a conversation

while you were gone.

What did you say to him?

He was convinced that you'd given up on him. He was convinced that Eddie was

always going to be between the two of you. What did you say to him?

He was... He was desperate, and he was ready to give up on you.

What did you say?

I told him to leave you and never look back.

He's gone.

Let's go.

Keep us posted, okay?

Thank you.

What was that?

That was your lawyer.

You know, that woman that works for Dr. Masters, Ellie Moss?

The one Nora told us about?

Yeah. She left town.

That's suspicious.

I mean, maybe Nora was on to something here. Maybe this woman, Ellie, had

something to do with the explosion.

But she left town. If the police can't find her, they only have me to pin it

on. Phil, don't say that, okay? Something's gonna happen. Something good

for a change.

Adriana said the exact same thing.

And if something good does happen, and I don't end up going to jail for this, I'm

gonna ask her to marry me.

Uh, what did you say?

It's a responsible thing to do, Dad.

I think it's a very mature decision, Phil, but... But you are young.

Son, all right, there's a lot to consider here. Don't worry, okay?

We won't be a burden on you.

Adriana's gonna collect the two million for the insurance.

We'll be all right for a while. Is that why you're doing this? Two million

dollars? I mean, that is not a reason to get married, son. I know, Dad.

I want to ask Adriana to marry me because I love her.

But the way things are looking, I may end up going to prison.

Then you guys won't have to worry about me marrying Adriana.

That make you happy?

The plane's ready to go.

Bye. I feel so great right now. I feel like I could get there without a plane.

Oh, okay. Well, to be safe, let's just take the plane. It's better that way.

And the car is ready whenever you and your mom are.

Okay, you guys. Break it up. We got to hit the road.

Oh, man.

All right.

I just wanted to say before we go, I wouldn't be here on this incredible and

amazing journey.

Without you guys, okay, you all mean so much to me.

And I could say thank you a million times, and it wouldn't even begin to

describe how grateful I am.

I love you guys.

Oh, Lauren Tate, everyone.

She's a superstar, and she loves us.

Yay!

We have to get you out of here. It's not safe. I agree.

But I have to do this one thing, and we can leave right away in the morning, or

we can leave tonight.

No, I can't let you go.

Then I'm going to take a bus or I'm going to call a cab. You don't have any

money.

You're right.

OK, then I'll walk there. I have to see Lauren. People are going to see you.

Right. So the safest way for me to get there is for you to give me your keys

and let me drive myself.

What if she doesn't show? She will.

She might not.

Maybe she didn't get the notice. She thinks it's a fake or she's worried that

she'll lead the police right to you. I mean, they have to be following her. I

don't care.

I need to go.

OK, I need to believe that she'll be there.

What about me?

If I don't come back, if anything happens to me for whatever reason,

go to this address.

Tell the guy who you are, what you did, and what you want, and he'll take care

of you.

But don't worry, okay?

I'll be back.

Eddie.

You drive people away. You're the cause of all of my problems.

Honey, you are welcome here.

You can stay here as long as you need to, and I will love you, and I will

support you as best as I can.

But don't lie to me.

I'm not lying about anything.

You do not believe that I am the cause of your problems.

How do you know what I believe?

Because I... I know this act.

You take your insecurities and you use it as a weapon against everybody. You

lie to yourself, you lie to them until you get what you want. No, that is so

far from the truth. Is it? Honey, Cynthia.

Well, you don't understand.

No, honey, I do.

I do understand.

I know what drives you. I know what you're fighting against because that's

the same life I lived for so many years, just like you. Not just like you.

No. You're right.

You did it bigger and better.

But living a self-centered life with nothing but lies and deceit always ends

badly. I survived the fall, Mom. I'm still alive.

And you need to use this second chance to make it right.

Because look around you, honey.

This is what a wasted life looks like.

Is this what you want?

No, I've tried to warn you.

I've tried to explain it to you, and it doesn't work. So let me put it this way,

my sweet, sweet girl.

You have to change, or you're going to end up like your mama.

Is that what you want for your life?

What can I do?

You know what you need to do? You just need to do it before it's too late.

Will you blindly follow me when I'm going

nowhere? Will you keep your faith in me?

The feedback is through the roof, Lauren.

The fans love it. The critics label it. It's a trifecta. Did you hear that,

honey?

Lauren? Yeah, I heard that. That's great.

Are you worried about the show in New York?

No. No.

Okay. Do you need anything?

No.

This is everything I ever wanted.

Well, I think that you should keep that Eddie song on the set list permanently.

It was huge.

He will love that.

Stop the car!

Stop the car!

It's me. I was just at the office looking at our honeymoon photo.

Listen,

I hope you have a good flight.

And make sure you...

Tell everyone in your family I said hi.

And give your mom a big kiss for me.

And Tracy, I'm going to be all right.

Yes.

Yes, what?

Yes, I'll marry you.

I haven't asked yet.

I know, but you will, and that'll be my answer.

With Jake Madsen management, I need to charter a plane for tomorrow morning.

Yeah.

Actually, can I just... Let me call you later with the details.

What are you doing here? I thought you were tired and you were going to go

home.

I am.

What about you? Aren't you supposed to be on a plane headed east?

Yeah, change of plans. We're leaving tomorrow.

Why?

I don't know.

But the client's always right, right?

She didn't think, did she?

My girl?

Did you see her tonight?

Jake, she's a star.

Yeah, she was good. She was really good.

So, so why were you so late? Did you stop by Pink's and get a chili dog

again?

No.

Tracy flew to Chicago.

Oh, no. Her dad?

No.

She's moving there.

For good.

Jake, I'm sorry.

Nah, it's not like we didn't see it coming.

Yeah, but that doesn't make it any less painful.

So, now what?

I don't know.

You know, I'm a talent manager whose client is a fugitive from the law. My

wife left me and definitely too old to be drafted by the Lakers.

Yep, things have definitely been better for you.

But, uh, I'll be okay.

You know, I'll find love again.

Find another great client.

I'll be okay.

What about you, Kel?

I'm just gonna work really hard so that I can get my name on the door.

Yeah, someday.

She just kept saying, stop the car, stop the car!

Do you think maybe she got nervous about playing the festival in New York?

No. No, no, no. It wasn't stage fright. I mean, I know that look. This was

something different.

You don't think... What?

Well, you don't think Eddie got in touch with her somehow?

On the night of her concert?

I don't remember.

She stopped right in the middle of the song, so maybe Eddie was sending her a

message, or maybe she saw him.

I think that was more about her father showing up.

I mean, I know it's really enticing to think that Eddie was at the show, but

there was so much security.

I know.

It was just a nice idea to think of him there, yeah?

He'll come back, Max.

Yeah. He'll be back.

I know.

How do you do that?

What? That. That. Ground me in one sentence and give me hope in the other

one. Oh, yeah, that. I took a class on it once.

Okay.

I'm so happy you're in my life.

What are you trying to say?

I would love for you to move in with me.

Oh, Max.

I can't live above a bar.

What?

Fine, I'll move in with you then.

I would love that.

I live in the Valley.

I mean, are you prepared?

You'd have to wear socks with your sandals and spend your weekends at the

home improvement store.

I mean, can you do that?

Of course.

I'd do anything for you.

You've got this hold on me Don't wanna be set free

But lock yourselves away from everything

You've got this hold on me

Where were you?

Why couldn't you tell me anything that happened?

I don't want to talk about any of that, okay?

That's what I hope.

You worried me.

I was here waiting.

You didn't get my note. I almost left.

What note?

I sent a note for you backstage.

You were at the concert. Of course I was at the concert.

But I didn't get a note.

What are you doing here?

I don't know.

I don't know. I was in the car with my mom and Kelly on the way to the airport.

All of a sudden I told the driver to stop.

How did you know I was here?

explain it. I just... I got this feeling.

I felt you, and I just... I knew I had to come here.

It was like how I felt you at the concert.

You're so great.

You're so great.

I can't believe you went there. There were so many cops. It was so risky.

It was worth the risk.

I loved seeing you up on that set, and you were so good.

You were so good.

Just like I knew you would be.

There's no turning back.

My girl's a star.

It doesn't matter.

Not if you're brought with me.

I don't know. This is all gonna get worked out.

Okay, but you listen to me.

I didn't do that.

Okay, I did not push her off that terrace.

I know.

A lot of people think I did until I have to stay away.

Just until this all gets sorted out.

I'm coming with you. No, no, no, no. Listen to me. Hey, you have things to

do.

None of that matters.

You just started your career.

Okay? I'm gonna be fine.

I'm gonna be fine.

I don't care about my career, about any of that. I just care about you.

Now we're okay.

Of course you can make a left turn from the right-hand lane. You just have to

use your blinker.

Okay, you might have been right, Adam.

I might have made a wrong turn because somehow we ended up at the library.

Good evening, kids.

Hey, Phil.

How was the concert?

It was amazing.

But not nearly as amazing as seeing you two studying together.

Oh, yeah, it's crunch time.

Gotta get those grades up so we can get that diploma.

I'd really like to be a high school graduate before I go to prison.

Phil, you're not gonna go to prison, okay?

Yeah, but if you do, you can just show your diploma to all your new friends

there.

Any news?

Phil, come in here!

That sounds like news.

That is fantastic, Sarah. Thank you for keeping us informed.

Yes, yes, we will go over the details tomorrow. Thank you, again.

They found her.

Ellie? Yeah, she was down at her sister's house in San Diego.

She tried to run and they caught her and she confessed to everything.

What? She confessed to hitting him over the head with a flashlight and she left

him in the clinic.

All the charges against you are going to be dropped in the morning.

I'm free? Yeah.

Baby, baby, baby, I'm free.

So she killed my dad?

It looks that way, yes.

I'm so sorry, Adriana.

Are you okay?

I need... Wasn't the best dad, but he was my dad.

Nate, it's going to be okay, okay?

I'm going to take care of you.

No, it's fine. I'm fine. Just, you know, if it wasn't Elliot, it would be one of

the other ones.

Phil, isn't there something you want to ask Adriana?

Elise, I don't think this is the... No, you're right, Mom.

What's going on? I feel like you don't have to do this. Yes, I do.

Okay, this is the perfect time. I'm here with everyone that I love.

Adriana, I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

Well, you... I don't have a ring. I'm supposed to have a ring. Um, I... Oh.

I don't... Okay.

Adriana?

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes.

Welcome to the family.

Oh, Max. Well, I've got to get that. I've got to get that. I have to get

that. Oh, no. Okay.

Oh.

Lauren.

What?

What? Slow down. Slow down. Slow down.

Oh, my God.

Where?

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Good news and bad news.

Okay. Just stay right there. Okay. We're going to get there as soon as we can.

Just don't do anything until we get there.

Okay.

Good news.

What happened?

Eddie's back in town.

Oh my goodness.

Oh, thank God. Thank God. What's the bad news?

We were following your limo to the airport. Thought he might meet you

there. Then the limo turned around, dropped you off at your own car. I

assume he called you to arrange a meeting.

No, he didn't. I just knew he would be there.

Regardless, it was pretty easy after that. We just followed you up the hill.

Well, when can he be released? I mean, I could post bail right now.

No, I think the earliest he can be arranged will be in the morning.

He has to spend the night?

Yes. He's under arrest.

That's how it works.

Yeah, but he didn't do it.

Chloe's just doing this to punish Eddie, to punish me.

I only know what the evidence tells me.

I'm sorry, Lauren.

I am.

Where's my son?

Where's my son?

Eddie?

Eddie? Eddie, Max is in the house.

I'm okay, Pop.

I thought I'd never see you again.

I know.

That's the difference.

I knew I was going to see you again, but you didn't know that about me.

Bob, I'm sorry. No, no, no. I'm so sorry.

You have nothing to be sorry about, okay?

Okay? Where's Lauren?

She's outside. She's waiting. She's fine. No, Bob, get her out of here. I

don't want her worrying about this. She's got to play that festival. She

will. She will, okay? Just worry about yourself right now.

I didn't do it.

I know. Okay, I didn't. Of course you didn't do it. You don't have to tell me

that. We're going to get the best lawyers, I promise you. No, but it

doesn't look good, Bob.

Okay, Chloe's knocking back down.

What, you saw Chloe?

At Fresno.

And she's going to stick to her story as long as Tyler's in the picture.

You couldn't stay away.

It's not your fault, honey. Mom, it is.

He said that they followed me to our spot.

But it was inevitable.

I mean, Eddie couldn't be on the run forever. He was going to get caught.

Yeah, but he got caught because of me. And now he's going to jail.

No, he's not.

Miss Carter?

I'd like to recant my story so the charges can be dropped and Eddie can go

free.

Yeah, same.

Except now I'm engaged.

No, I meant here.

Oh, yeah. What, being preggo?

Yeah, no, it's weird.

I feel myself getting heavy and sluggish, and now I'm going to have to

start wearing those really ugly, boxy maternity clothes.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sure you'll be able to pull it off, Adriana.

You look great in anything.

Thanks.

Did we just have a moment?

Yeah.

It's a little Twilight Zone-y in here, isn't it?

Yeah. Twilight-y, like those vampire movies. Yeah.

Whatevs.

No, it's not like that. It's like, whatevs.

Whatevs?

Closer. Come on, A. Gotta get to class. Can't get detention for being tardy.

Gotta work at the warehouse today.

But you're not going?

You on the once a week attendance plan? You don't mean for me. Adam and I have

to take Lauren to Eddie Duran's arraignment hearing.

Arraignment? Yeah. Is he going to jail?

He might be.

I really hope that he doesn't. I mean, for Lauren's sake, I know how hard that

is.

Thanks, Abe.

I'll tell her you said that.

She won't believe me, but I'll tell her anyway.

Okay, bye.

Later, sis.

Yeah. Later, bro.

Whatever.

Whatever.

Come in. It's open.

Is that you or me?

I don't know.

Me? Yeah.

Okay. Oh, now that's me.

Hey, Jake?

Yeah. Hi, sweetie. Eddie's in town. How are you? I'm just mildly freaking out.

Kelly chartered that plane to go to New York for the festival, but I don't want

to leave until I know what's going on with Eddie.

Oh, honey. Everything's going to be all right. Is Mel there?

No, not yet. We'll meet you at the courthouse, though.

Hey, do you think anybody listened to Chloe when she said that Eddie didn't do

it? She's the victim. They have to listen to her, right?

I guess so.

I just hate that Eddie's fate depends on an act of kindness from Chloe Carter.

How could you do that?

I'm not sure what you're accusing me of.

You left me.

You left me in Fresno. I left you at home, where it's safe and it's warm.

You're acting like I kicked you out of a moving car into a ditch.

I came back to you.

We were supposed to move to New York, remember that?

I remember you saying that.

I don't remember me saying, sign me up.

You finally had me, Ty.

I was ready to be with you for good.

And you just left me in the middle of the night. No goodbye, no note.

You broke my heart.

I'm not going to let you do that to me anymore.

You're cursed, Chloe.

That is absurd.

Think about it, Chloe.

Have you ever made anybody's life any better?

Has anybody ever said, now that I'm in contact with Chloe Carter, my life is so

much better?

In what, you spread joy and sunshine wherever you go? No.

Not at all, but I'm changing that.

And the first thing I gotta do to make my life better is to stay away from you.

But you love me.

I might, but that doesn't matter anymore.

My life has been really screwed up the last couple of years.

And I used to think it was Eddie and Jake that was the cause of the lack of

my success.

But it's not.

It was you.

No, we can work past this.

We can still move to New York. We can be together all the time.

Just you and me. No more secrets.

No more lies.

Just us.

That sounds good, Chloe, but I'm not going to go to New York with you.

I'm going to stay here and I'm going to do this movie with Osborne Silver.

And I'm going to work really hard to make my life right.

What about me?

Sorry, babe.

I don't give a damn.

I still find it hard to believe that an actual human lives here. I mean, it

feels more like a secret lair than a house. Oh, does it? Does that mean that

you think that Eddie's a superhero?

It would explain a lot.

Would it explain how he spent the night in jail?

Oh, I forgot my phone. I'll meet you guys by the car. Okay, but hurry. I want

the chance to walk into the courtroom and object.

I don't think they let just anybody object.

Oh, they're going to let me.

What'd you forget?

Nice place to get here.

What

happened?

Looks like we got everything we wanted.

Don't walk away.

I can't shake you from my heart. Here they are.

Yeah, we almost left without you.

Come on, cut him some slack. The guy's been dead for days. He's allowed to be

late, right?

This is so nice.

Get used to it, because this is how it's going to be from now on. Just because

you're in a private jet does not mean you get to skip doing the dishes and

thin your room. I wouldn't dream of it.

Welcome back, Mr. Drams.

Um, Brenda, I told you. You can call me Eddie.

Just like old times.

No, no, no, no.

These are new times.

All right?

Are you ready for this?

Are you kidding?

I've never been more ready for anything.

How are you?
