00:00And I opened the door to find the most gorgeous boy ever standing outside.
00:04Hello, I'm Eric. We got some of your mail. I came to return it.
00:09I just stared at him, dumbstruck, feeling acutely aware of how terrible I looked.
00:14Just then, Meredith pushed me out of the way.
00:16Hey, thanks. You're such a lifesaver. Haven't seen you around before.
00:21I just moved into the house across the street.
00:23The big white one with the quadruplets?
00:25Yeah, they're my brothers.
00:27What? No, they can't be related to you. They're very unattractive.
00:32Meredith, can't you ever sugarcoat anything?
00:35I am sugarcoating. Did I call them ugly ogres?
00:39I am so sorry.
00:40It's okay. People have this reaction often. I'll see you girls around.
00:45He flashed his beautiful smile at us and then left.
00:49Wow, Eric stole his brother's luck, the schoolboy's luck, the neighborhood boy's luck, and his mother's and his father's luck, and the whole town's.
00:56I agree. He's beautiful. I hope he's smart and funny and kind, too. I'm sure he is.
01:02I never believed in love at first sight, till I met Eric.
01:06Okay, maybe love is an exaggeration, but I was crushing on him hard.
01:11Freddie, how does this purple dress look on me?
01:13Claire, what the? You can't just come in without knocking. What if I wasn't wearing a towel?
01:17Well, you are. So, unclench your butt. Now, what do you think about the dress?
01:22Hey, Freddie. I want your opinion on this red dress.
01:25Oh, hi, Claire. I didn't know you were here.
01:27Have some respect for my privacy.
01:30What are you talking about?
01:31Actually, I don't care. Now tell me I look hot, right?
01:34Of course I look hot. I could wear a potato sack and I'd look hot. I can do hot in my sleep.
01:39What's the dress for?
01:40The party at Eric's place? What, did you think you're the only one who got invited?
01:45The red's a bit much for a casual housewarming party, no?
01:49Yeah, you're right. It's more of a second date dress.
01:52Thanks, I'll look for something else. And your dress looks lovely.
01:55I am not your sister and you can't treat me like this. I am a man.
02:01Okay, thanks for the newsflash. Come on, Claire. Let's go before Freddie has a heart attack.
02:06The party was coming up soon, but I knew there would be many guests and I wouldn't really get a chance to talk to Eric then.
02:12So, I decided to drop by to borrow some sugar one evening.
02:15But my heart sank when I spotted Meredith and Eric in the kitchen and they were kissing.
02:21I couldn't believe that witch. It was so obvious I was crushing on Eric, wasn't it?
02:26Can you give me some mashed potatoes, Claire?
02:29I lifted a spoonful and threw it straight at her face.
02:32Claire! What the heck?
02:34Oh, I'm sorry. You didn't want them on your face? You should have been clearer then.
02:39You got a problem with me?
02:41What a genius. Since you're so smart, I'm sure you already knew I liked Eric, but you went after him anyway.
02:47Yeah, I saw you two kissing.
02:50Oh my god, what? You like Eric? I had no idea. You should have been clearer too.
02:56Cut it out, okay? You knew.
02:59Did not.
03:00Okay, so now that you know, will you stop seeing him?
03:04No, duh.
03:05Are you really into him?
03:07Not really. I barely know him. But he's cute and rich and he likes me. You did see that he was kissing me back, right?
03:14I flung another dollop of mashed potato straight in her eye and stormed off.
03:19Fine, that jerk could have Eric. I wasn't even gonna go to the party now.
03:22But on the night of the party, when I heard music floating from across the street, I couldn't help myself.
03:27Eric had just known Meredith for two days. This battle wasn't over yet.
03:31I knew I looked smoking hot as I marched up to Eric and Meredith in her stupid red dress.
03:37She looked furious to see me before she turned sickly sweet.
03:42Oh, hi. I thought you were unwell and not coming, honey. How are you doing now, honey?
03:48I'm good, honey. How are you, honey?
03:51I'm great, honey. Do you like my honey, honey?
03:54What honey? Honey?
03:55The honey, honey.
03:56I see no honey. Honey?
03:58Uh, what's happening here?
04:00Don't worry about it. Let's go get some honey, honey.
04:03We don't have any honey, Meredith.
04:05Honey! You've ruined it. You should have ended the sentence with honey.
04:09Don't mind her, Eric. You already know she's rude.
04:12And she has a vile temper.
04:14She once tried stealing money from an old lady and kicked her hard when she resisted.
04:19Oh, so that's how it's gonna be, huh?
04:21Eric, did you know that Claire is so dumb?
04:24I told her when we were kids that if she ate bluebells, her eyes would turn blue like mine.
04:28She ate a bunch and then pooped her pants in school.
04:31Didn't Meredith tell you she used to fart in the neighbor's jacuzzi just because they said they liked me more than her?
04:37It went on for a month.
04:39Oh, oh. How about the time you dropped Mom's toothbrush in the toilet and just put it right back?
04:43Imagine someone being so awful to their own mother.
04:46Meredith has a boyfriend who works in a mental institution, and he steals the patient's clothes from there for her.
04:52Imagine doing that to sick people.
04:54Claire keeps acting like she doesn't know her best friend is in love with her, and she keeps using him for his money.
05:00What? Are you talking about Fred? I've never used him, and he's not in love with me.
05:04Oh, please. A blind person can see Freddy's been in love with you since day one.
05:09Shut up.
05:10You shut up.
05:11Um, how about you shut the heck up?
05:13Not till you shut up first.
05:15I pushed Meredith out of my way, but I ended up pushing a little too hard, and she crashed straight into the punch bowl.
05:21She got up and charged me, and we landed straight on the food table.
05:26As Eric was trying to pull us apart, Freddy suddenly ran in.
05:29Claire, Meredith, stop.
05:31Your mom, she isn't okay.
05:33You gotta come now.
05:35We ran outside to see Mom unconscious and being wheeled into an ambulance.
05:39Since Freddy's dad was a neurosurgeon, he took Mom's case and ran tests for weeks to discover that she had some inflammation in her brain for unknown reasons, which had sent her into a coma.
05:50Freddy's dad decided to enter her name in a clinical trial for rare brain diseases since she met all the criteria.
05:56But what's it gonna cost us?
05:58We take one pro bono case for the trial, but there will still be other hospital expenses, and you girls will have to figure out something soon.
06:07Do you have any relatives?
06:08We had to contact our grandparents, but to our surprise, Mom didn't even have their numbers saved in her phone.
06:14All we had was a framed picture with their names signed at the back.
06:18Freddy offered to hire a private investigator, and within a week, he said they'd been found and were flying over to see us.
06:24But I couldn't help noticing as they got out of the cab that they didn't look rich at all.
06:29Those paupers are our grandparents?
06:32They're definitely the people from the picture.
06:34Why do Grandma's shoes look like something out of a museum?
06:37And Grandpa's coat is missing three buttons.
06:40The old lady hobbled towards us and hugged us tight.
06:43Oh, girls, it's so good to see you.
06:46We had no idea we had granddaughters till yesterday.
06:50You look nothing like our son, though.
06:53Your son?
06:54No, we're your daughter's kids.
06:56Oh, honey, we don't have a daughter.
06:58The private investigator who tracked us down did say our daughter was looking for us, but we just assumed that was our son who ran away from home 18 years ago.
07:10He was always saying he'd change into a woman one day.
07:13What?
07:15Our mom used to be a man?
07:18No, this is crazy.
07:19Look at this picture.
07:20Does this woman look anything like your son?
07:23Our son is ugly, and I remember this woman.
07:27Alfred, you remember this beautiful lady came to stay at our motel many years ago?
07:33She disappeared suddenly one night, and the next day some mafia men turned up looking for her.
07:39Ah, yes.
07:41Those men kept turning up for weeks.
07:43They seemed like bad news.
07:46I'm happy to hear the lady is okay.
07:49So, you're not her parents?
07:51Then why does she have this picture of you guys?
07:54She took it from the motel.
07:56I don't know why.
07:58I'm so tired, dear.
08:01Can I rest for a little while?
08:03No.
08:04If you're not our rich grandparents, you gotta go.
08:07Taxi!
08:08Meredith sent them packing immediately, and we just stood staring at each other.
08:13When was mom in a motel, and why were there bad men after her?
08:17She told us all our lives these random people are our grandparents.
08:21What else has she been lying about?
08:23Apparently, a lot of things.
08:25When we checked out if she had any health insurance, she couldn't be found in the system.
08:29I went to the diner where she'd been working for years to see if the manager could help,
08:33only to find out that no one there had ever seen her.
08:37We had no clue where she'd been going all this time while she was pretending to work,
08:41or where she got her salary from.
08:43Meredith and I tore up mom's room looking for more clues.
08:47We didn't find anything in the closets or under the bed,
08:49but I pulled the rug away and came across a loose floorboard.
08:52We pried it open to find a laptop and so many fake IDs and passports, all belonging to mom.
08:59Oh my god.
09:01Mom? As a French redhead?
09:04Her hair is black here, and she's Swedish.
09:07We opened the laptop, but we couldn't get past the security code.
09:10We asked Freddy to come over and told him everything,
09:13and when he went over the laptop, he let out a low whistle.
09:16Whoa, this is heavy encryption and insane firewalls.
09:22Is your mom from the CIA or something?
09:24Have you ever seen her using this laptop?
09:26Yeah, I have once, but she told me she borrowed it from a friend to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
09:32Who is this woman?
09:34We really had no idea, except that her hair dye started fading soon,
09:38and we discovered she was a natural blonde.
09:41We still desperately needed the money and contemplated selling the house,
09:45but we couldn't even find any documents for it.
09:47For the first time in my life, I felt overwhelmed and completely out of ideas.
09:52Then one night, as Meredith and I were sitting on the porch,
09:55Freddy joined us, looking grim.
09:58I need to tell you guys something about the clinical trial.
10:01There's only a 50% chance that your mom will get the drug that could make her well.
10:05What do you mean? Doesn't everyone get the drug?
10:07No, half the patients get a placebo drug.
10:11Oh god, I did something really wrong.
10:14I checked the files of everyone on the clinical trial,
10:16and your mom has been assigned the placebo drug.
10:20She's not going to get the treatment.
10:22So, that's it?
10:23We're just going to sit back and watch,
10:25knowing there's no chance of her getting better?
10:27Make your dad give her the drug!
10:29I can't.
10:30Dad would lose his medical license if anyone thought he interfered with the trial.
10:34Then why did you even tell us, Freddy?
10:36Freddy looked at me silently.
10:39He told us because he and his dad can't do anything, but we can.
10:44Whatever you plan, I can't be part of it.
10:46But you have to do it soon.
10:48The trial starts next week.
10:50Thank you, Freddy.
10:51You don't know what this means to us.
10:53Of course.
10:54I'd do anything for you, Claire.
10:57For the first time, I saw what had maybe been so obvious all along.
11:01Freddy was in love with me,
11:03and I was about to use it to my advantage.
11:05Freddy's death is about the no other.
11:09There we go.
11:10Onward normal Newman happens with us.
11:11We should leave like theass go.
11:12We hope we will be downstairs.
11:13There we go.
