00:00A large chair swiveled around to reveal a tiny, skinny guy.
00:04What? You think all Mafia Moses are tall, fat, bold, and wear gold rings?
00:10Sorry to disappoint you with my looks, but trust me, I am every bit as ruthless.
00:16Something about his steely gray eyes sent a shiver down my spine.
00:21I believed him. His name was Pierre Soufflé, which was obviously a lie.
00:25And the job he had for us was to steal a priceless painting from a museum and replace it with a fake.
00:31That's the painting? It's, um, tiny.
00:34What's your problem with tiny things and people?
00:37It's also kind of stupid. What is that? A raccoon eating a cheeseburger?
00:43It's worth $10 million, so the joke's on you, dummy.
00:48Now, the owner of the painting has allowed the museum to borrow it for only three days.
00:53So, we don't have a lot of time.
00:57Wouldn't it be easier to steal it from the owner's house?
01:00Everyone, look at Lady Einstein coming up with brilliant ideas.
01:05Why didn't we think of that ourselves?
01:08Happy to help?
01:10Of course we thought of that ourselves!
01:13Trust me, the museum is easier.
01:16Why choose us?
01:16It's a very stupid security measure, but the museum's floors are activated by pressure sensors at night.
01:25Anything above 55 kilograms and they go off.
01:30I haven't been able to find a boy who weighs less than that!
01:34Ellie, get the weighing scale.
01:36Meredith weighed 52 kgs, while I weighed 55.1!
01:41How is this possible? You eat so much more than I do!
01:45What can I say? I got all the good genes.
01:48Okay.
01:49You're out, fatty!
01:50Melody, you're my leading lady!
01:52The plan was to enter the museum through its large air ducts, carrying the fake painting with us.
01:58We first had to make a stop in the security room and disable all the cameras and alarms.
02:02Then, we'd crawl back through the ducts till we reach the exhibit area,
02:05and I'd lower Meredith's down along with the painting so she could switch them out.
02:09As Meredith made it to the bottom, I dropped the painting to her, and she missed it!
02:13And we heard a loud crack!
02:15Oh my god, did you break the frame?
02:17Me?
02:17It's your fault! Who told you to throw it like that?
02:20I was expecting you to catch it!
02:22But what was I thinking?
02:23You made us lose the frisbee tournament in 8th grade because you're so bad at catching things!
02:27Unless it's someone's boyfriend!
02:29Seriously?
02:30You were so distracted by that hot boy on the bleachers, your throwing skills were completely off!
02:35FYI, that boy was totally into me!
02:38Why are we even talking about frisbees and boys right now?
02:40You started it!
02:42No, I didn't!
02:42Okay, shut up! Let me think how to fix this!
02:44Are you trying to glue it together with your saliva?
02:48You got a better idea?
02:49Any idea would be a better idea than that!
02:51Look, it's a museum.
02:52They must fix broken, ancient things here all the time, right?
02:55I'm looking at the floor map, and there are some offices in the left wing.
02:58I'll go get some glue.
02:59It took me an hour to find glue and return to our spot,
03:02and I found Meredith eating a bowl of ramen!
03:05Where did you get that?
03:06I brought a packet of instant ramen with me,
03:08and you were taking forever, so I went to make it in the staff kitchen.
03:11There was someone's chicken sandwich in the fridge, so I used the meat from that.
03:14And there was also some tofu.
03:16And I added a dash of oyster sauce.
03:18I'm so happy you chose this moment in your life to become a gourmet chef!
03:22Just send the painting back up so I can fix it!
03:24I tried to fill in the crack as best I could,
03:26then sent it back down to Meredith,
03:28who took the real one off and put the fake one on the wall.
03:31But just as she started walking back,
03:32the whole floor lit up suddenly, and a blaring sound went off!
03:36Oh my god! What's happening?
03:37I don't know, is the painting heavier than the fake one?
03:40Just hurry up! We gotta get out! Now!
03:42I pulled up Meredith and the real painting,
03:44and closed the opening in the ceiling seconds before security burst in.
03:48We crawled down the ducts and out of the building as fast as we could.
03:51We ran a few blocks down where Pierre's van was waiting for us,
03:55and we sped away.
03:57Oh, I would've preferred if you hadn't alerted all of New York about a break-in!
04:02Now I'll have to move this painting around with cops crawling all over the city!
04:09Never mind. Here's your check, and Claire, try to lose some weight. Au revoir!
04:14And without warning, we were dumped on a dark street!
04:17We scrambled to our feet, headed for the subway, and made it home.
04:20It was all over the news the next morning
04:22that someone had broken into the museum
04:24and switched off all the security systems.
04:26But apparently, nothing had been stolen,
04:28except a chicken sandwich and a block of tofu from the staff kitchen.
04:32You ate the entire block?
04:34Hey, I'm not the one who needs to watch her wait!
04:37I do not need to-
04:38Ugh! Whatever.
04:39Listen, I've been meaning to talk to you about something.
04:41It'll have to wait. I got a hair appointment.
04:43We'll talk over dinner?
04:45Yeah, sure.
04:46I was gonna tell Meredith that I wanted a break from this life,
04:49and I wasn't sure how she'd react.
04:51As I sat in a cafe later, I suddenly found a cute guy next to my table.
04:55Mind if I sit here?
04:56No other empty seats.
04:58I won't disturb you.
04:59I promise.
05:00We actually ended up talking for over an hour,
05:03and I found him sweet and charming.
05:06I'd love to meet you again if you're free.
05:08I don't live in New York, but I come every weekend.
05:11You come here for work?
05:12No.
05:13Actually, I came to visit my mom,
05:15who's admitted in the hospital here,
05:17for a medical trial.
05:18She has some rare brain issue that sent her into a coma.
05:21Oh.
05:22I'm sorry to hear that.
05:24How long has she been in a coma?
05:25Six years now.
05:27It's been the toughest thing I've ever dealt with.
05:29Actually, she was part of this other really promising clinical trial before,
05:33but that didn't work for her.
05:35He was in a hospital in Connecticut.
05:36As he kept talking,
05:38I suddenly felt like I was spinning around very fast,
05:41and I could hear my heartbeat in my ears.
05:43My chest felt heavy,
05:45and I could barely breathe.
05:46I don't know what I said to the boy,
05:48but I just ran out of there and didn't stop till I got to our hotel room.
05:52Hey, I was about to call you.
05:53What's wrong?
05:54Claire, are we in trouble?
05:55I am a terrible person.
05:59Hey, you're not that terrible,
06:01just a bit ugly.
06:02You don't have cops after you, do you?
06:05Meredith, I met someone.
06:07It's not a cop, is it?
06:09No.
06:09I met a random guy in a cafe,
06:11and his mom was in a clinical trial.
06:14I hope this gets interesting at some point.
06:16In a hospital in Connecticut.
06:18Oh my god.
06:19The same hospital mom was in?
06:21And the same trial?
06:22What a small world.
06:23No, it's not the same trial.
06:25It's a different hospital, too.
06:27Okay, I'm bored again.
06:28The coincidence made me interested for a bit.
06:31Meredith, his mom's been in a coma for six years.
06:35We did that to someone.
06:36Didn't you just say it's not the same trial?
06:39Yes, but for a few seconds,
06:41I thought it was the same trial.
06:43And I just realized for the first time today
06:45that we did something awful to someone out there.
06:48When we switched the patient files,
06:50we took away someone else's chance to get better.
06:53You realized this just now?
06:55Are you dumb or something?
06:57Of course that's what we did.
06:58I mean, I never really thought about it like this.
07:01It was just a name on a file.
07:03But meeting someone who's going through that
07:05with their mom for years,
07:06it just made it so real.
07:08We're really bad people.
07:10Not really bad,
07:12if you consider all the bad people in the world.
07:14Okay, look, we didn't have a choice.
07:16If I had to do something like that
07:18to save mom all over again,
07:19I'd do it in a heartbeat.
07:20Okay, so we did that to save mom.
07:23But what about everything else?
07:25We had a choice to not continue living this life,
07:28but we didn't stop.
07:29And I want to stop.
07:30What's the big deal, man?
07:32It's not like we're stealing from poor people.
07:34It doesn't matter who we steal from.
07:36It's not about them.
07:37It's about us and the people we've become.
07:40I don't want to be this person anymore.
07:42Look, just calm down.
07:44I'll get you a piña colada
07:45and everything will seem better.
07:47But I pushed her away angrily
07:48and she landed on the floor.
07:50She looked up at me, stunned.
07:51No, I am done.
07:54Meredith and I barely spoke
07:56over the next few days
07:57and I had no idea
07:58what was going through her head,
07:59but I'd made my decision.
08:01I was gonna go home.
08:02I sent Freddy a text
08:03to say I'd be coming next week
08:05and he called me back.
08:07Hey, I'm actually in New York
08:08with my parents for the weekend.
08:10Can we catch up?
08:11The moment I saw Freddy,
08:12I just burst into tears
08:14and he hugged me tight.
08:15As we talked over dinner,
08:16he assured me that he'd talk to Meredith
08:18and try to make her come home too.
08:20We had just stepped out of the restaurant
08:21and walked two blocks down
08:23when suddenly a black van
08:25screeched to a halt beside us
08:26and some men pulled us in,
08:28handcuffing and blindfolding us.
08:30When our blindfolds came off,
08:31I realized we were in Pierre's quarters
08:34and I found Meredith there too.
08:36Uh, what's going on here?
08:39Welcome, welcome.
08:41We just gathered here
08:42to discuss a teensy-weensy-itsy-bitsy issue.
08:47Now, Meredith,
08:49go ahead and tell them
08:50the moronic thing
08:51of titanic proportions
08:53that you just did.
08:54Apparently,
08:55Meredith had found her way
08:57to Pierre's headquarters
08:58and stolen the real painting from him.
09:00She had then tried to sell it
09:01to a buyer she'd arranged
09:03and while the exchange
09:04was about to happen on the docks,
09:05the cops had showed up.
09:06Meredith had barely managed to escape,
09:08but the buyer and the painting
09:09were in police custody.
09:11The police didn't let it
09:13get out in the news,
09:15but they knew
09:17the real painting
09:18had been stolen
09:19and replaced with a fake.
09:22They were probably watching
09:23every dock,
09:25airport,
09:26and train station
09:27to see if someone
09:28would try and move it out.
09:30And your sister
09:31practically handed it to them.
09:34What were you thinking?
09:35It's your whole quitting
09:36the biz talk
09:37that made me do it.
09:38I did it for us
09:39so we could sell the painting
09:40and retire to Bora Bora for good.
09:43And what the heck
09:43is Freddy doing here?
09:45Hi, guys.
09:45I'm Freddy.
09:46Old friend.
09:47Nice to meet you.
09:49Not terrified at all.
09:50You made me lose a fortune.
09:53And you double-crossed me.
09:55And Pierre does not
09:57take material well.
09:59Harry!
10:00Sam!
10:01Yes, sir!
10:03You know what to do.
10:05Uh, boss?
10:06I'm not really sure
10:07how I feel
10:08about punching a girl.
10:10Yeah, boss.
10:11I'm not really
10:13comfortable with this.
10:14Maybe we can
10:15just punch the boy.
10:17I'm not really a boy.
10:18I used to be a girl.
10:20Ask Claire and Meredith.
10:21We practically
10:21grew up like sisters.
10:23Please don't hurt him.
10:24He has nothing
10:25to do with this.
10:26Silence!
10:27You buffoons!
10:28I didn't say
10:28hurt anyone yet.
10:30I just wanted you
10:31to threaten them.
10:33But of course,
10:34you're useless.
10:35And I'll do myself.
10:37Torture Harry and Sam
10:38after this meeting.
10:39Now, get lost!
10:41Then, Pierre shifted
10:42his cold gaze to me.
10:44That painting
10:45is everything to me.
10:47And I want it back!
10:50And now,
10:50the only way
10:51we can get it
10:51is from the owner himself.
10:53You, Claire,
10:54will be executing
10:55this mission.
10:57The heir of that painting
10:58is a young,
10:59charming millionaire.
11:01And you will get to know him!
11:03Become his girlfriend!
11:05Kiss, cuddle,
11:06yada, yada!
11:07You need to earn
11:08his trust completely
11:09so he lets you
11:10into his life
11:11and his home.
11:13Then,
11:13when the time is right,
11:14you'll steal the painting
11:15from a high-security vault
11:17inside his house
11:17and bring it back to me.
11:20You will do this
11:21if you care about
11:22your moore and sister
11:23and this girl slash boy
11:25and his family
11:26and your moore
11:27and their stupid husband
11:28and your old neighborhood.
11:31What?
11:31What if I fail?
11:33I don't think
11:34you want the answer
11:35to that.
11:37But once you succeed,
11:39I'll give you two enough
11:40to go to Boa Boa
11:41and never return.
11:43I'd be ecstatic
11:44to never set eyes
11:45on you annoying girls
11:47again!
11:47I had my eyes
11:52on the target
11:53from across the street.
11:54As soon as I saw him
11:55walk towards the cafe,
11:56I headed for the entrance.
11:57Just as he opened the door,
11:59I bumped straight into him,
12:00spilling coffee
12:01all over his shirt.
12:02Oh, God!
12:03I'm so sorry!
12:04I wasn't looking!
12:05I'll pay for the dry cleaning!
12:06His arm rested gently on mine.
12:09Hey!
12:09It's okay.
12:10It was an accident.
12:11I looked up
12:12into his bright green eyes.
12:14In fact,
12:15you're the one
12:15who's without a coffee now.
12:16Can I get you a new one?
12:19Sure.
12:19I'd like that.
12:20Can we also start over?
12:22Hi, I'm Christina.
12:24Hello.
12:24I'm Eric.
