Betrayed by My Bridesmaid (2022) Movie Script

[ Dance music playing ]


- Are you okay?
Do you need anything?
- Heather, I told you tonight
youre not my assistant.
Youre my friend,
celebrating the best birthday.
Of my life with me!
- Katie.
- Ohh.
[ Squeals ]
- Lets do it, lets do it.
- Jamie.
- Okay, okay.
- Okay, ready?
Ready, ready, ready.
[ "A Smile That Changed My Day"
plays ]


- Okay.
So that disco ball, amazing.
- Oh, Snoop insisted on having
one for his record release.
- Snoop Dogg.
[ Both giggling ]
- Heather!
The birthday girl needs a drink.
- No, I dont.
I want to remember tonight.
Have any of you seen Connie?
- Mnh- mnh. Okay, but listen, I
really want to pick your brain.
So I have an audition coming up,
and its to play a drug addict.
- Jamie.
- What? Too soon?
- Yeah.
- It has only been three months
since she got out of rehab.
I wasnt sure
if I should invite her to this.
- Shes her sister.
Of course you should invite her.
- Cake time.
Wheres your lesser half?
- You never liked
any of my boyfriends.
- Yeah.
- Lets go find him.
- Alright.
- Yeah.
[ All giggling ]
[ Kissing sounds ]
- Connie?
No.
No.

- I didnt...
I didnt know
he was your boyfriend.
- I introduced you to him
three hours ago as my boyfriend!
You seriously need help!
- You need to pick
better boyfriends.
[ Keys jingling ]
Hand me my keys.
- No. Youre wasted.
Ill call you a car.
- I said give them to me.
- No!
Connie...
stop it.
Connie! Let... go!
[ Gasps ]
- [ Laughing ]
Katie, get up. Come on.
- Just get out!
- [ Laughs ] Youre fine. Get up!
I didnt shove you that hard.
Get up. Get up. Get u...
- [ Gasps ]
- You okay?
- Yeah, just a bad dream.
- Well, were almost here.
- Really?
- Um, Amandas been taking photos
of you drooling in your sleep.
I tried to stop her.
- Its for the wedding app!
Everybody likes candid shots.
Trust me.
- Youre mean.
- Sorry.
Im just doing my official
duties as maid of honor.
Anton, how are your two duties
coming along?
- Dont worry about me, okay?
Bachelor party
and dont lose the rings.

[ Woman vocalizing ]

- [ Gasps ]
- Its beautiful.
- What a day to land.
- Gorgeous sky.

- What a pretty city.
- Right over here
is Bathhouse Row,
where you can soak in the
historical thermal hot springs.
- Thats why they call it
Spa City.
- I want to do that.
- I know you do, and you will.
Were gonna do
all the touristy things,
including a nature hike at...
- Garvan Woodland Gardens?
- Thats the place.
- You did your homework.
Im impressed.
- Perks of having an event
coordinator as your best friend.
- Somebody remind me
why were staying
at Toms moms house tonight.
- Because it would be rude
if we didnt stay one night.
- Just one night.
- But tomorrow night,
were at the hotel downtown,
where all the action is.
- [ Speaks indistinctly ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]
- Oh, remember, we are not
telling her we live together.
Okay?
Take a deep breath
and just be yourself.
Yeah.
- Tom!
- Ma! Its so good to see you.
- Oh, baby! Oh!
Youre too thin. Have you eaten?
- Yes. Im fine.
Katie, this is my mother.
- Mrs. Lin, Ive heard
so much about you.
Its so great to meet you.
- I wish I could say the same.
Tom, you have stayed away
for far too long.
- [ Speaks Korean ]
- Oh. [ Speaks Korean ]
You speak Korean?
- I greet Korean.
- Oh.
- I know Tom was raised
in Beijing.
But youre from Seoul, right?
- Yes.
- Thats Amanda,
and this is Anton.
Antons my best friend.
- Hey, Mama Lin.
Nice to meet you.
- [ Chuckles nervously ]
- Well, I could eat.
- Well have tea first.
Please come in.
- Oh, wow.
I love the minimalistic design.
Mix the natural wood
and the rock.
Im an interior designer and...
- Um, Katie?
- Oh, forgive me.
Tom told me.
I- I knew Id forget
because of the excitement.
- So thats why I thought Amanda
would be the best person
to throw Anton and Is
premiere party.
- So, Mrs. Lin,
you got to tell me,
when he was a kid,
did you think hed grow up
to be such a big
hot- shot film producer?
- I am very proud.
I just wish he could be closer
to his family.
- I do too, Mom.
But arent you happy
were having the wedding here?
- Of course.
Its all just happening so fast.
So how did you two meet?
- Through Amanda.
Amanda and Tom
were college buddies.
- Excellent.
Education is very important.
- I agree.
- And so is family.
Do you want children?
- Oh, well, if the timing is
right and everything,
then I would be open
to the idea.
But we just both work so much.
- Yeah.
- But the clock is ticking, dear.
- Women are having babies
at all sorts of ages now.
- Of course. Thats right.
- Mm- hmm.
- Dinner was delicious.
- Oh. You hardly ate, dear.
What do you like to cook, Katie?
- I make a fantastic
box mac and cheese.
[ Laughter ]
Honestly, I mainly order in.
I mean, who wants
to mess up the kitchen
when you can have gourmet food
delivered to your door
in 30 minutes, right?
- Maybe.
I was thinking, you know,
you could teach her
some of grandmas recipes.
- Yes, maybe.
I certainly
dont want my son to go
without a home- cooked meal
for the rest of his life.

- Well, why dont I help you
with these dishes?
- Yeah.
- Oh, I can help you.
- No. You guys get the bags
and settle in.
- Yeah.
- See you in a second.

- [ Clears throat ]

[ Laughs ]
She hates me.
I couldnt have bombed harder
if I tried.
- No, she didnt. She was just...
Just took some time
for her to, you know,
warm up to you, thats all.
- She seemed to like Amanda
just fine.
- Amanda isnt taking away
her only son.
And were getting married
next week, so...
- I know, but I work a lot.
And Im not the stereotypical,
old- school housewife
that she wants me to be and...
No, no, no, Tom, we shouldnt.
- Okay.
Youre right. Youre right.
- We have separate
bedrooms already.
I seriously do not need
another reason for your mom
to disapprove of me.
- Okay. Youre right.
[ Groans ] Youre right.
Is this how its gonna be
for the rest of our lives?
No. Youre just always right
and Im always wrong.
- Yep. So why dont you
just accept your fate?
- Oh. [ Laughs ]
[ Cellphone vibrating ]

- Hello?
Hello?
Listen, if you have
something to say, just say it.
Otherwise, stop calling me.
- You dont need to do this.
Go rest.
You must be tired
from traveling.
- I want to help.
Katie really is a great girl.
Youll see.
And with everything shes been
through with her family,
she just wants so much
to be a part of yours.
And there was a lot of pressure
on her today.
- Im sure losing both parents
at such a young age
was very difficult.
- Yeah, and her sister, Connie...
- Connie?
- Oh.
Tom didnt tell you about her?
- Tom tells me so little
about his life these days.
I should know what
hes marrying into. Please.
- Um, yeah.
Connie just has a few issues.
- Issues with what?
- Shes struggled with drugs
and alcohol...
for years and, um...
when shes abusing,
she can get a little...
- Violent?
- No, no, no, no.
What I mean is,
its been tough for Katie
and Katie meeting Tom...
Hes so wonderful
and theyre happy
and this is good.
This is good for them.

[ Insects chirping ]
[ Knock on door ]
- Good night.
- Good night.
- You okay?
- You dont, like, have
a crazy ex- girlfriend, do you?
- Well, um...
well, theres that one girl
that poisoned all the bunnies.
But other than her, no.
Why?
Happier times, huh?
I was thinking
about my dad today.
It doesnt seem fair, does it?
- [ Sighs ]
No, it doesnt.
- Are you upset
that Connies not gonna be here?
- Well, shes in rehab,
so she cant be here.
- Thats not what I asked.
Are you upset?
- Im still so angry with her.
- Yeah, Im sure you are.
But she is your sister.
- If she were here, it would turn
into the Connie Show
and all the drama
that surrounds her.
So its for the best.

- I know this...
Your mom and dad
are so proud of you
and the woman youve become.
And theyll be watching
with my dad.
Front- row seats.


- I love you.
- I love you, too.

[ Door closes ]
- Well, here we go.
- Youre gonna love this place.
- Oh, my gosh.
You see that?
Right there is where I was all
the time I was a kid.
I was always sitting
right there.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
- Ah. You must be
our wedding party.
Welcome to the Arlington.
- Yes. McPherson and Lin.
- Shes got it.
- Oh! You made it.
Oh, my God.
Oh, welcome to the madness.
- I cant believe
youre getting married.
- I know.
- Okay. And before moi?
That is what
I really cant believe.
- All right, guys,
go do guy things.
- Cool.
Well see you at the venue?
- Yes.
- Hey, Amanda.
- Hey, Heather.
Can you order us room service
up to Katies suite?
Maybe some, like, coffee
and pastries or something?
- I am off the clock, but, sure.
- Thanks.
- Surprise.
- What?
What are you...
I thought that you were...
- I got released early.

It was a mistake coming here.
I, um...
- Of course not.
I want you to be here.
- Im so sorry, Katie. I...
- Shh. Uh... come here.
- Im better now. I promise.
- Amanda introduced us.
I owe it all to her.
- Well, Tom is incredible...
and you are incredible.
I knew you guys
would hit it off.
- You deserve this, Katie.
Im really happy for you.
- Thanks.
[ Ominous music plays ]

- What is it?

Okay. Did everybody get
an e- mail with the itinerary?
- Yes.
- Can you text me?
- Were getting our dress fitting
at Something Blue.
And then, Katie, were meeting
Tom at the wedding venue.
- I- I can just meet you
all later on
after the bridal stuff.
- No. You should come.
- Really?
- Yeah. I want you to be there.
- Okay. Id love that.
- Great. Um, why dont you
meet us in the lobby in a bit?
Ill text you all the info.
Let me see your phone.
Whats your passcode?
- 1, 2, 3, 4.
- Okay.
I just put my contact info in,
so just shoot me
a text with yours.
- Okay.
See you later.
- Bye.
- Are you okay?
- I just wasnt expecting this.
- Well, she got released
from rehab,
so Im guessing shes sober.
- Take a look at
what this letter says.
- "Youre making a big mistake.
Call off the wedding
or youll regret it
the rest of your life."
Did she write this?
- Who knows?
- Maybe this isnt a good idea.
- Well, now that shes here,
I cant not have Connie
be one of my bridesmaids.
- Okay, were gonna need
to call the shop
and make sure
they have a dress in her size.
- I can call.
- Thanks. Unbelievable.
[ Knock on door ]
- Room service.

[ Indistinct conversation ]
- [ Gasps ] Youre perfect.
- I hate you.
- Step up here.
- Has she texted you?
- Its fine.
Just be here with us.
- I love the beading.
- How do you feel?
How do you feel?
- Like a princess.
- Oh.
[ Footsteps approaching ]
- I am so sorry.
I waited for you guys,
but you didnt show up.
What happened?
- I dont know. What happened?
- You text me to meet you
in the hotel lobby at 3:00.
- I told you 2:00, and then
I texted you to be here.
- Thats not true.
- Lets use our inside voices.
- You know what? Its fine.
Its probably
just a misunderstanding.
Connie, please.
I dont want everybody fighting
on a day thats supposed
to be special for me.
- Youre right.
- And I needed you to be on time
today so that I could ask...
- I think this is for you.
- Oh, can you just leave that
in the dressing room, please?
- Of course.
- Thank you.
- That was for me?
- But if its gonna be like this,
I dont...
- No, no.
It means so much to me
that you want me in the wedding.
- Well, then
lets get you fitted.
- For the sweat.
- Hmm. Thanks.
- Cant wait to go inside.
- I cant believe we got
this reservation.
Its the best place in town.
- Hi.
You must be Connie. Im Tom.
- Hi. Its nice to meet you, Tom.
- Nice to meet you.
Wow. This is where
its all gonna happen.
- Yeah.
- Wow.
Shall we?
- Yes.
[ Laughter stops ]

- Amanda?
- I...
- Whats going on?
- I dont know. I dont know.
This is a disaster.
- I know, but I got to go.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yall dont need to be in here.
- What happened?
- We were vandalized last night.
- But were getting married here
in a week.
- Yeah, thats not gonna happen.
Were gonna have to cancel
all our upcoming events,
obviously.
- Canceling? No.
How are we supposed
to find another venue
within the next week?
- I mean, I think you can
just get this place
cleaned up and ready.
- And I think you dont know much
about construction, so...
- I just need to get some air.
[ Cellphone vibrates ]
- I got to take this.
Yeah, yeah.
Hold on for a second.
If you want to come with me
to the office,
we can pull up your reservation.
No, I know.
No, it has to be here today.
Have you seen this place?
- Do you think its a bad sign
or omen or something?
- Nope, I dont.
- I just feel like...
- What?
- I dont know.
Maybe your mom was right.
This is all happening just...
- My mom also likes
pineapple on pizza,
and... I dont care.
Hey.
I dont want to wait
another minute
to start the rest of our lives
together.
- Maam, like I said, theres
just not much I can do.
- Yes, there is.
You know what?
If the work cant be done
in time for my little sisters
wedding,
then its clearly
your responsibility
to find us another venue.
- Okay, I think were done here.
- I dont think we are.
- Get your hands off me.
- Connie, stop!
- Im sorry.
Im so sorry.
- Whats going on?
- Look, you all need to leave,
or Im gonna call the police,
okay?
This lady is out of control.
Theyve already been here
once today.
I got no problem
with them coming back.
- Alright. Come on.
- Please.

- It was a tough day.
- [ Sighs ]
- Katie, um...
I did give Connie
the wrong time.
- What?
- I know. Im so sorry.
I dont know
how I got this wrong.
I dont get things wrong.
I didnt want to tell you
because you trusted me
with your wedding, and I just...
I messed it up,
and you know how organized I am.
Okay, Connie comes in.
You want her to be a bridesmaid.
It just... It threw a wrench
into everything.
- Amanda.
- And to be honest,
I dont like her.
She is selfish
and emotionally stunted,
and shes never done anything
but hurt you.
Well, no wonder
she was so angry.
- And I get it.
Like, I get the bridal shop.
But things escalated fast
at the venue.
Like, if you didnt walk in,
like,
would it have gone further?
- I dont know,
but it feels like everyone
is trying to make everything
so perfect
that its just ruining
everything.
- Yeah. No, youre right.
We just need
to take a deep breath, relax.
By we, I mean me.
This is supposed to be fun.
- Please.
- Connie.
- Hey.
What are you doing here?
- Oh, Im staying here
with the bridal party
because Im the groom.
- Right. Of course.

Its a virgin daiquiri.

I dont know
what got into me today.
- We dont have to talk.
- Being here, seeing Katie,
the way she looks at me.
Disappointment
all over her face.
I wanted to stand up for her
to fix it.
And when I couldnt, I just
lost control for a second.
- Its understandable.
- No, because, see, I thought
I had my anger in check.
- Well, no ones here to judge
you, especially not Katie.
So cut yourself some slack.
And enjoy that virgin daiquiri
of yours.
- Thank you.
- Were gonna be family soon.
- I look forward to it.


- Are you okay?
I heard about
what happened with Connie.
- Yeah. Typical.
The whole day
ended up being about her.
- Maybe shes just jealous.
I mean, look at your life.
Youve got it all.
- Stop. No.
- Deep down,
maybe she just
wants to see you fail.
- I dont know. I mean, shes
definitely struggling, but...
I think she wants me
to be happy.
- I know Im just your assistant.
- Heather. Youre not just my...
- I care about you.
I just dont want to see you
get hurt again.
- Believe me. Neither do I.
- Ill try to find my rainbow
- Katie, can we talk?

- Im gonna go.

- Whats the saying, wrong foot?
- Its just that this is
what I was afraid of.
Nothing has really changed.
- Thats...
Thats not true, Katie.
Rehab was different
for me this time.
Ive worked really hard
these past few months,
and Amanda
gave me the wrong time.
- Yeah. She told me.
- She did?
- Yeah, but that doesnt explain
what happened at the venue.
- I know, but...
I- I just wanted to help you.
- I dont need your help, Connie.
We got this.
We did it all without you
because you werent around.
- Youre right.
Im sorry.
- Can we just put this behind us?
- Of course.
- See you tomorrow?
- Okay.
- I love you.

- I love you more.

[ Indistinct conversations ]
- Bob, so good to see you.
- Good to see you, cuz.
- Good to see you. Hey, man.
- Hey. Oh, Jon, Su,
this is Katie.
- Were not that old school.
- Well, I cant keep up.
- Oh, how you doing?
- Listen, Im gonna stay here.
I dont want there to be
any reason
for this day to get messed up.
- Youre not gonna
mess anything up.
- Plus, youre already paid for.
- Just get in the van.
- Truce?
- Of course.
- Gosh, its like wrangling cats.
[ "Feels Like The First Date"
plays ]





[ Birds chirping ]
- I read they planted
to 155,000 blooms.
- Heather, can you get a pic
of all of us?
- Yes, maam.
- Come on, lets get a picture.
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
- Alright. Got it.
- Hey. Everything okay
with you guys?
- Yeah.
Its just...
I get that its her job
to boss me around at work,
but Im one of her bridesmaids.
Why does she keep
barking orders at me?
- I dont think
she means it like that.
I think its just hard to switch
it back and forth, you know?
Like, where do you
draw the line?
So from 9:00 to 5:00,
youre her assistant.
But then 5:00 on,
youre her friend
or 10 to 6:00?
- Right.
- Oops. I just got a work e- mail,
and were having dinner
as friends.
Can you be my assistant
for a second?
- Yeah.
- Oh, shes going into a meeting
and she has something
in her teeth.
And I mean, you tell her,
are you being a friend
or an assistant?
- Jamie, I get it.
- Just talk to her.
Katie is one of the easiest
people to talk to.
- Yeah. I know. I will.

- This place is incredible.
- Isnt it?
Being in Los Angeles, you forget
that nature feels good.
- Yeah, you do.
- Tom appears to be getting
pretty chummy with Connie.
Thats strange.
- Tom is just like that.
He wants everyone to feel
included.
- Yeah. I dont mean
to open up old wounds,
but he knows your history
with her.
- Okay, thats all were
gonna say about that.
- I just feel like hed be
more conscious of it, you know?
- Hes never done anything
to make me question him.
I trust him.

- [ Laughing ]
[ Indistinct conversation ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]
- Im good.
- Okay.
- Amanda, dear, come
sit next to me.
- Oh. Perfect.
I put myself next to you anyway.
Great minds think alike.
- Tom tells me that you set up
quite the excursions
for everyone.
- Oh, yes!
Your city is incredible.
We went to Garvan Woodland
Gardens,
and it is so breathtaking.
Have you seen
the tulips in bloom?
- I have, dear.
So, what is on the menu
for tonight?
- Oh. Three cup chicken
is our main dish.
- [ Laughs ] Oh.
I make it at home.
The best. Right, Tom?
- Whats that?
- My three cup chicken.
- Yes! Oh, I love it.
I could have it every day.
- Its a shame
that Katie doesnt cook.
- Im right here.
- Do you remember that time
you cooked
for your dad on Fathers Day?
- The grilled cheese?
- Not just any grilled cheese.
This thing was huge.
I mean, I think you used, like,
20 slices of American cheese
and a whole loaf of bread,
just one stacked on top
of the other.
[ Laughter ]
- Grilled cheese? How complex.
- Really?
- Thats actually really
sweet that, you know,
you wanted to do something
special for your dad,
and thats what counts.
And I love grilled cheese, too.
[ Laughing ] Maybe not the size
of a small child.
- Connie, hows the venue hunting
coming along?
- Im working on it.
- Im sorry. I dont understand.
- Why was she put
in charge of that?
- Whats going on here?
- Oh, Mrs. Lin, its okay.
Its just that the venue
we originally had
got vandalized, but...
- So you dont have
a wedding venue?
- No.
- Well...
perhaps we should postpone
the wedding for now...
take a little time
to rethink a few things.
- So, Mrs. Lin, is it?
You know, people who
are so critical of others
are usually just lonely
and pathetic.
- Connie.
- Thats interesting
coming from you.
- Ma.
- Whats that supposed to mean
exactly?
- How was the rehab, dear?


- You know what? Im... Just...

Just...



[ Insects chirping ]
- Im sorry.
My mom was out of line.
- Was she?
I... I dont even know why I
was saying what I was saying.
- No. No, no. You were protecting
your sister,
my mom was protecting me,
and things just went
a little too far.
- No.
No, its not that. I...

I feel a little weird, almost...
almost high,
and I dont understand.
cause Ive been drinking
iced tea all night.
I dont...
I dont feel in control
of my emotions or my body.
- Theres a lot going on.
Its a wedding.
Peoples emotions
are heightened.
Or maybe youre just not used
to feeling things sober.

- Are you a drug counselor?
- No. Nothing that noble.
Im just a producer.

[ Sighs ]
We all want you here, Connie.
But if being here isnt good
for your sobriety,
then you should do
whats right for you,
not Katie.
I just... dont want
your decision
to affect my fiances
happiness.

- Of course.
[ Horn honks in distance ]
Thank you.

- And she was wasted.
- You dont know that.
I get it.
You dont like her,
and I understand why.
But you really have to stop.
- Katie, she was slurring
her words, and she fell down.
- She wasnt drinking. I saw her.
- Is she on something else?
- I dont feel right about that.
- I do.


- Hey. I didnt want to upset you
or make something out
of nothing, but...
given her history
and what just happened...
you should see this.
- That looks intimate.
- When was that taken?
- The first night at the hotel.
And where are
the two of them now?
- I- I- I dont...
I dont know. I...
Im sick.


- K- Katie?
Um, hey, hey, lets talk
about it. Whats going on?
- Maybe you should find Connie
and talk to her.
- What?
- Maybe you can explain to me
why you were seen hugging her
at a bar the other night.
- Are you... Are you kidding me?
I was trying to h- help.
I was talking her off a ledge.
You know, doing what any good
brother- in- law should do.
I was just... I was just
trying to help.
Just for you.
- You know what happened
between her and my ex.
- Yes, I do.
And Im not your ex.
Okay?
Youre okay.

And it seems like
shes really trying, so..
- Really?
They found a bottle
of pills in her purse, Tom.
- Okay.
- Shes not trying.
Shes back on drugs.
- Well, have you talked to her
about it?
Just... talk to her.
Shes your sister.
Shes the only family you have.
Maybe try to be more patient,
more understanding.
You know? All those things
I love about you.
- I have been patient and kind
and understanding
for the last 10 years, Tom.
You should go before I say
something I regret.

- Katie, do... Hey.
Dont do this.
- Just go.

Why was he even
touching her at all?
Thats just so not okay.
- I know it looks bad,
but Connie could have hugged him
and he didnt know what to do.
And if he did hug her first,
people make mistakes, Katie.
- Was it a mistake?
- Maybe youre being
a little hard on him.
- Im not hard on Tom.
- Well, do you trust him?
- Of course I do.
- You just kicked him out
of your room.
Katie, I think you might have
some trust issues.
- What do you mean?
- Well, you dont trust me
either,
to do my job correctly.
- Thats not true.
- Katie, you micromanage me
all the time,
which makes me feel like I cant
live up to your standards.
Its like youre up here,
and everyone else is down here.
- Where is this even coming from?
I would never, ever want
to make you feel that way.
- Well, you do.
And, like, right now, I dont
know whether Im saying this
to you as your friend
or as your assistant.
- Why would you say
anything at all?
Heather, I dont have anywhere
to get married,
which probably doesnt matter
because Im thinking
of calling the wedding off
and losing the love of my life
whose mom hates me
and hates my drug- addicted
sister even more,
whos here trying to rebuild
our relationship
while popping pills
and starting fights
and falling down.
Do I not have enough
going on for you?
This just couldnt have waited
until we were back in L.A.?

[ Sighs ]
[ Ominous music playing ]


[ Knocking on door ]
[ Knocking continues ]
- Hey.
I overreacted last night.
Hard for me to not
feel protective of you.
Youre my little sister,
and I dont like
how she treats you.
And I know I havent been
around, and its not my place...
and shes gonna be
your mother- in- law.
And... But Ill try harder.
I will.
I have some good news.
I have a venue.
Its at the hotel.
They had a cancellation.
Its the ballroom,
and its perfect.
Everythings gonna be okay.
- Nothing is gonna be okay,
Connie.
- Yes, it is.
- Why?
Why cant you stay away
from my boyfriends?
- What?
- Why, Tom?
- Katie.
Ive been horrible. I know.
And Im... Im so sorry.
But I- I would never do anything
like that to you again.
[ Pills rattling ]

What are those?
- I found them
in your purse last night.
- Those arent mine.
- I gave you
the benefit of the doubt.
I gave you another chance,
and you lied.
- Those arent mine!
Theyre not!
Im clean. Katie, I promise.
- Connie, stop. Just stop.
I cant listen
to those same exact words
come out of your mouth
one more time.

- Okay.

- Are you positive that
shes the right girl for you?
- Yes, I am.
Katie is the love of my life,
and youre gonna accept it.
- And why would she move in
with you before your marriage?
Its not proper,
and you lied to me about it.
- How did you know that?
- A mother knows these things.
- She moved in with me
because I asked her to.
I didnt tell you
because I know you.
I know youll think less of her
for it,
and thats not fair, Mom.
- [ In Korean ] But you shouldnt
lie to your mom.
- [ In Korean ] I was wrong.
Can I tell you something now?
Katie is the most wonderful girl
Ive ever met in my life.
And she loves me...
with her whole heart.
And somehow, every day,
she inspires me
to do the best I can.
She takes care of me when
I forget to take care of myself.
And shes quick to forgive
and slow to judge.

I just cant imagine
my life without her.

- Then you should go
and make things right.

- Do you think Im overreacting?
You know Tom better than I do.
Could he do something like this?
- A week ago,
I would have said no.
Did you show him the picture?
What did he say?
- That he was just
talking to her for me,
which I dont
need him to do, by the way.
I dont understand why hes
defending her. Seriously.
- Yeah. I dont know.
I dont get that either.
- And, of course,
Connie showed up this morning.
- With apology number...
2,367?
And Im sure she denied
everything.
- Shes just lied to me
so many times
that her words
have lost all meaning.
How do you have a relationship
with someone like that?
How do you emotionally invest?
Everything was fine
until she got here.
- No, no, no. Dont cry. Dont.
Hey, dont make
any rash decisions, okay?
Heres my suggestion.
We show up
at that club tonight...
- No.
- With smiles on our faces
and we have a good time.
- I dont feel like it.
- Thats just because
youre all up in your head.
Okay?
You need to just take
a step back and just have fun.
Thats what we were
talking about, right?
This is supposed to be fun.
Wheres the fun Katie?
Huh?
[ Beatboxing ]
[ Dance music playing ]
[ Indistinct conversations ]
- What is this?
[ Women screaming ]
[ "Slam" plays ]
- Ready?
Surprise!

- You guys are gonna get me
in so much trouble.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

[ Indistinct cheering ]


- Oh, God.
- Baby, this ones for you.
[ "Its You" by Jessie Villa
and Mikey Geiger playing ]
- Tom?
- ...just fine
I was out on my own
- What is happening?
- Then I opened my eyes
And I put down my pride
I was holding you closer
than anybody else
When the lights go out,
its you, babe
Every time Im down
- Yep, this is how it is.
[ Women cheer ]
- Every night in my sleep,
Im saying your name
You know for me, its always
gonna be you, babe

- Hey.
- Hey. Howd it go?
- Oh, uh...
I shouldnt quit my day job,
but she... she smiled.
- Nice.
- So these are her favorites?
- Yep.
- Okay. Thank you, Connie.
- Good luck.
- Hey, um,
how are you holding up?
Are you... Are you doing okay?
- Im fine. Go.
Go.



- [ Gasps ]

[ Ragged breathing ]

- Good evening, Miss McPherson.
How can I help you?
- Please listen carefully.
I have apparently
eaten some nuts,
and I am definitely allergic.
Im about to go
into anaphylactic shock.
I have a pen with me,
but please call an ambulance
immediately, okay?
- Okay. Im going to hang up
right now and call an ambulance.

- Did you find it?
- No. I know it was here.
- Where? Where did you pack it?
- In my suitcase.

[ Gasping ]
Are the paramedics here?
- Theyre on their way.
I have this first- aid kit.
- Does it have an Epipen?
- I dont know.
What does it look like?
Is this it?
- Yes!
- Okay. You remove the blue cap
and then pull the release.

- [ Breathing deeply ]
[ Birds chirping ]
[ Monitor beeping ]
- Hey. Hey.
Baby, how you feeling?
- Kinda like I got hit
by a truck, but better.
- Youre a very lucky girl.
All of your vitals
are looking good now.
And your last respiratory test
was normal.
Wed like to keep you
and monitor you
for a little bit longer, but...
we should have you out
of here soon.
- Thanks, Doc.
- Thank you very much.
- Oh, and stay away
from those nuts.
- Tom, you knew I was allergic.
Why...
- Katie... Connie picked up
the chocolates for Tom.
- But I dont see a reason
she would want to hurt you.
Maybe the...
Maybe the shop made a mistake.
- How long were they sitting
outside my door?
Was Heather anywhere
near them by chance?
- Why?
- We had a fight last night,
and she didnt show up
to my bachelorette party.
- Oh.
No, no, I didnt see her.
- Im so incredibly sorry
for not trusting you
and... if I hurt you
or made you feel
like I was pushing you away,
Im so sorry.
- Hey, no need to apologize.

- Well, Ill leave you two alone.
Im gonna make some calls.
I think we need to cancel
the rehearsal dinner.
- Yeah, probably best.
- No, Im not letting
anything else get
in the way of our wedding.
- Babe, we could still
have a wedding
without a rehearsal dinner.
Just... I want you to rest.
- I feel fine.
All of our guests are in town.
And this is the last night
before youre my husband.
I want to go, and I want
to celebrate with you.
- Okay. Good.
Cause I still dont know
how to spell "fiance."
- [ Laughs ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]
- Where were you last night?
- I didnt think
youd want me there.
- Were you outside my room
at any point?
- No. Why are you asking me that?
- Because someone left chocolates
with nuts for me
outside my door.
- I know youre allergic to nuts.
Deathly allergic.
We may have some issues
we need to work through,
but I am not trying to kill you.
Seriously. Do you hear yourself?

- Okay.
- Come on. We got to go.


- So what did you guys
do last night?
- Oh, I wouldnt know.
- It was so fun, but ask Tom.
- Oh, youre never gonna know.
No way.
- That way.
- Katie.
Katie, please.
Listen to me.
Something isnt right.
- I dont want you here, Connie.
- Those pills werent mine.
I swear.
And I triple- checked
the chocolates
to make sure there were no nuts.
I didnt do those things,
but they happened.
So someone did.
- Things just always seem
to happen when youre around.
- None of this adds up,
and Im worried.
Im worried
someones trying to hurt you.
- Okay, you know what?
Ill say it.
Connie, youre a drunk
and a drug addict.
And the reason you cant
remember any of these things
is because youve spent
half of your life blacked out.
The only thing Katie
needs protection from is you
and the epic and unrelenting
crap that surrounds you.

- Katie...
- If you love me and want
to do something for me...
Not you... then just go home.

- Just watch your back, Katie.

- Drinks?
- Yes.
[ Indistinct conversations ]

- How you doing?
So good to see you, man.
We appreciate you coming.
Well be right back.
Enjoy. Have fun.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
- Im so happy.
- Hello! Thank you, everybody,
so much for being here.
I want to extend a very,
very warm welcome
to all of our out- of- towners.
Welcome to beautiful
Hot Springs.
Fortunately, it is my job
to make sure
that all these precious moments
are documented,
which means photos
and lots of them.
Candid photos are best
for those of us
who may not have
an artistic eye.
But we will also get
very cheesy, staged photographs
from our lovely
wedding photographer, Aaron.
[ Applause ]
So, everyone, please, please
get your picture taken tonight,
and we will start
with our lovely bride and groom.

- Aw, Jamie. Thank you.
- Oh, youre welcome.
- So right here?
- Whoo.
Beautiful.
- Oh, thank you. Its all her.
Im not...
No ones gonna be
looking at me in this photo.

- [ Gasps ] Aah!
- Oh!
- [ Gasps ]
- [ Gasps ]
Oh! Oh, oh, oh.
- Katie!
- Oh, no!
- Tom!
- She cant swim!

- Where is she? I dont see her.
- I cant find her!
- Look under the dock!
- Katie!
- What happened?
- I think she hit her head.
She may be unconscious.
- Just pull her up. Come on.
- Is she breathing?
- Can you get her?
- Shes not breathing.
- Come on.
- John, Sue, come help.
- John, Sue, come grab her arms.
And then Ill grab her legs.
Come on.
- Shes not breathing.
Shes unconscious.
- Be careful with her.
- Okay. Just pull her back.
We got to set her down
on the ground.
Come on,
lay her down right here.
Lay her down right here.
- Shes unconscious.
Shes unconscious!
- Okay, here. Im doing CPR.
Call 911, get an A.E.D.
- Please, please let her be okay.
Please let her be okay.
Come on.
- Were at Fishermans Wharf,
and our friend fell in the water
and shes not breathing.
Please send someone now.
- Oh, shes not breathing.
- Its not working, Heather!
Heather, its not working.
Please, please, please,
please let her be okay.
- [ Coughing ]
- Yes!

Shes okay!


[ Indistinct conversations ]

- What you did was unforgivable.
- What are you talking about?
- You loosened the railing.
I almost drowned!
- Katie, calm down. I dont...
- Why were you even there,
Connie? Huh?
How could you do this to me?
- Do what? What happened?
- Im filing a police report,
and they will catch you.
- Police report? I...

- She needs help, Katie.
Just file the report.
Seriously, its for the best.
- It was obvious that
youd be taking pictures there.
She knows you.
She knows you cant swim.
[ Cellphone vibrating ]
- Hello.
- But we cant prove
she did any of it.
Its all circumstantial.
- Are you seriously
defending her?
- Im not defend...
- I dont know why you would
have her back right now.
- I just dont think we have
enough evidence
to have her charged
with anything yet.
- Thats it.
The manager just verified
that there were screws
missing from the railing.

- Can everyone just leave?
I just...
My head is spinning.
I need some time alone.
- Of course.
- Try and get some sleep.
- Heather.
Thank you.
And Im sorry.
- Of course.

- You too.
Were not supposed
to spend the night together
before the wedding.
Its bad luck.


[ Telephone ringing ]
- Sheriffs Office.
- Hello, Id like to file
a police report.
- Can I get your name, please?
- I promise you, there was
no nuts in that chocolate.
- Thanks.
- Youre welcome.


- Ive tried everything.
Maybe shes right.
Too many things have gone wrong.
- You know, relationships need
to be able to withstand
this kind of thing.
Do you think you all have
what it takes
for a lifetime together?
[ Slow rock music playing ]
- I dont know.
I dont know.
She just keeps pushing me away.
- Maybe you just need
to slow it down,
call it off for now.
Just give it some time.
Tom, Im so sorry.
I hate this for you.
- [ Sighs ]
- Do you remember the night
I introduced you to Katie?
- Yeah, of course.
How could I forget that?
- Well, theres something
about that night
that you dont know.
- Okay. What is it?
- I meant to set
Katie up with Anton.
- [ Laughs ]
Wait. What?
Wh... Why? Why?

- Because I thought you felt
the same way I did.

Dont make me spell it out.

I love you, Tom.
Ive loved you since college.


Tom...
I know this is sudden, but...
you feel the same way, right?
- No, Amanda...
I dont.
I have to go.


- Hi, Connie.
Please come in.
Have a seat.
- Id rather not.

I know it was you.
You... You destroyed the venue,
you spiked my drink,
you switched the chocolates,
and you probably had something
to do with the accident
at the restaurant, didnt you?
Didnt you?!
- Youre such an easy target.
[ Laughs ]
Drug addict.
Youre emotionally unstable.
Your lifes in the gutter.
- Stay away from my sister.
Got that?
- Or what?
Are you gonna tell on me?
I believe youre the one
who had sex
with your sisters boyfriend
on her birthday
while you were on drugs
and drunk.
Was it... Was it both?
I cant keep up, honestly.
You are quite a piece of work.


Look at you, Nancy Drew.
- Mm- hmm.
- Get... Get off!
- Uhh!
[ Grunts ] [ Glass shatters ]
- What are you doing?!
[ Porcelain shatters ]
- Help me!
Hello.
Theres a woman here.
Shes assaulting me.
Hello.
- Thats a lie! No!
- Please help!

- Youre sick. You really are.



Youre crazy!

- Hey. Hey. Whats going on here?
- Just let me explain.
- Thats... Thats her.
She just attacked me.
- No, I didnt.
You did that to yourself.
Please, just listen to me.
- Whats going on?
- She just went crazy and was
throwing glasses at the wall
and breaking lamps,
and she stabbed me.
- Katie, shes lying.
- Somebody needs to call
the police.
She just filed a report
against her.
- Is this true?

Im gonna have to ask you
to come with me.
- No. No.
Youre making a mistake.
No. Katie! Katie, look at me!
I have proof,
a video on my phone!
- Do you think Im gonna need
stitches or something?
- Oh.
- Hey! Whats going on out here?!
- Lets get you out
of the hallway,
and well take a closer look.
Okay?
- Im sorry.

- 1114, yes?
- Yes.
- Well get you taken care of.
[ Door closes ]

[ Slow rock music playing ]
- Thank you. Have a great day.
- Thank you.
- Hey, got your text.
You should be getting
your beauty rest.
- I couldnt sleep last night.
- Im really sorry.
I know how badly
you want her to be better.
Shes, like, obviously
getting worse.

- Why do you have her phone?
I saw it in your back pocket
last night.
- Because she threw it at me
right after
she started throwing glasses.

- Hows your shoulder?
- Ill survive.
- Well, Im gonna go for a jog,
blow off some steam.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.

- I told you...
Katie?
- You said you had proof.
A video?
I got your phone from Amanda.
[ Door closes ]
- She must have deleted it.
I was there, Katie.
Shes in love with Tom.
I had a video of it.
- Wait. Do your photos back up
to your computer?
- I dont know.
Maybe on my tablet.
- Where is it?
- In my room.
- Okay. I need your password.
- 1, 2, 3, 4.
- Seriously?
And the...
And the key to your room.
- You know, I, um,
I called you...
so many times, but I hung up
because I didnt know
what to say.
I wasnt sure
youd want to hear from me.
- That was you?
- I wanted to make sure
you were okay,
hear your voice.
I missed you.

- I missed you, too.

[ Door opens ]
[ Ominous music playing ]




[ Gasps ]
- There you are.
- Oh. Hey.
- Hey.
Were running really late.
Come on.
- I need to stop by the room
real quick and take a shower.
- We have showers in the suite.
- [ Sighs ]
Yeah, but I need my stuff.
- We have your stuff.
Come on. everybodys waiting.
Come on.
Okay, ladies,
get ready for this beauty.
- Oh. Wow.
You look stunning.
- Thank you. I love it.
- Youre welcome.

- Go put on your dress.

Lets hope it still fits.
[ Laughs ]


- I love you, Tom.
Ive loved you since college.

[ Knock on door ]
- What are you doing in there?
Do you need help?
- Almost ready.


- [ Gasps ]
Katie, you look incredible.
- Thank you.
Can someone zip me up?
- Yeah.
- You look absolutely
breathtaking.
- Thank you.
- Why dont you guys go check in
on the groomsmen?
Make sure they have
their bow ties on straight.
- Oh.

- I forgot my purse.
- Heather.
I have a gift for Tom.
I meant to give to Anton
to give to Tom
before the wedding.
Its a small engraving.
Do you think
you can bring it to him?
- No problem.
- Its just inside my purse
in the bathroom.
- Is it wrapped in a box?
I dont see anything.
- [ Scoffs ] Geez.
Its just inside my purse.

- Im not sure
what it looks like.
- Connies innocent.
- What?
- It was Amanda the whole time.
Heather, I am so, so sorry
for everything.
How I talked to you,
how we treated you.
I need you to do something
for me, as my friend.
- Okay.
- Get this to Connie
at the police station.
Um, its two blocks from here
on Spring Street.
Ill explain everything later.
Just dont tell anybody
where youre going.
- Im afraid...
- Ill handle it. Okay?
Ill stall. Just please hurry.
Yeah, just give it to Anton.
He knows its a present for Tom.
- Right. Anton. Got it.
- Its just this little
metal card I had engraved
for Tom to keep in his wallet.
- With what?
- Oh. A verse from a song.
Well, our song.
- That is so sweet.


- Where is she?
- Shes at the hotel with Amanda.


- [ Inhales sharply ]
It smells good.
I have a surprise for you.

Something borrowed.

Hold still.
Dont make me stab you.
- Stop!
Amanda...
I know it was you.
- Katie, my gosh...
It took you long enough.
- I want you to get out.
I dont want you
anywhere near this wedding.

- Theres not gonna be
a wedding, Katie.


I tried to make it easy.



- Amanda, open the door.
[ Pounding on door ]
Amanda! Let me out!
[ Panting ]
Amanda!
Amanda!
[ Cries ]
Aah!
Hotel phone. Hotel phone.

Help!
Somebody help me!
Help!

- Katie! Katie, were here!
- Connie! Connie, help me!
- Open the door.
- I cant. Its locked!
The whole room is on fire.

The room is on fire! Hurry!
- [ Grunting ]
- [ Screams ]
[ Coughing ]
I cant breathe!
- Katie, stand back!
Im gonna kick in the door!
- [ Coughing ]
Connie, its moving closer.
Hurry! Hurry, Connie!
Aah!
Connie, my dress is on fire!
[ Screaming ]
Somebody help!
[ Coughing ]
- Katie!
Katie, come here!
Come here! Come on!
Crawl through!
Give me your hand.

Are you all right?
- Yeah.

[ Sirens wailing ]
- Katie!
- Tom!
[ Crying ]
[ Police radio chatter ]
- Are you okay?
[ Sirens wailing ]
Over there, well be safe.
- [ Coughing ]
- Im so sorry.
I looked everywhere for you.
I couldnt find you. You okay?
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Hey. Im so sorry.
Im so sorry.
I was looking everywhere
for you.
You okay?
- Just happy to see you.
Stop it.
Get off me!
- It wasnt supposed to be
this way.

- [ Choking ]
- Youve never been
a good friend.
You always were a terrible,
terrible friend.

You dont deserve him.
You dont deserve him.
You dont deserve him!
[ Siren wailing ]
[ Tires screech ]
- You okay?
[ Police radio chatter ]
- [ Speaks indistinctly ]
Tom. Tom.
Tom, please.
Please.
No, no. No, this isnt right.
This isnt right. This isnt...

- [ Speaking indistinctly ]
[ Siren wailing ]
[ Police radio chatter ]
- Katie.
- Tom, I have to.

How could you do this to me?
I dont understand.
You were my best friend.
- Really? Was I?
You didnt even notice that
I was madly in love with Tom.
- How could I possibly have known
that you were in love with him?
You never said a word
about how you felt.
- You should have noticed.
He was all I talked about,
Katie.
- I thought you were buddies.
- [ Scoffs ]
He was more.
He was the love of my life.
He was all I had.
And... And when he met you,
I- I thought, "Its okay.
You know, its just a fling,
and itll pass."
And when it didnt...
I thought maybe
I could stop the wedding.
I just... I- I couldnt stand
the thought of you
actually going through with it.
- So you tried to kill me.
- Things got out of control.
- Out of control?
I almost died.
- I didnt want to lose him.
I couldnt.
- And now youve lost everything.
I hope you get
the help you need.
I truly do.
- Maam, you need
to step away from the vehicle.


[ Birds chirping ]



- You look so beautiful.
- Its gorgeous.
And I am incredibly honored
to wear your wedding dress.
- I hope it brings you
and Tom good luck.
- Im sure it will.
- I owe you an apology, Katie.
I have been unkind.
After my husband passed,
Tom was all I had left.
I just dont want
to lose him, too.
- Mrs. Lin, I promise...
you will never lose him.
And I hope you feel
that youve gained a daughter.

[ Knock on door ]
[ Door opens ]
- You ready?
- I am.

- See you out there.

- Thank you for being here.
- Well, if Id known
what it was gonna entail...
- [ Laughs ]
- but Im honored
to be promoted.
- Im so proud of you.
Even though I pushed you away,
you didnt leave.
You stuck by me.
You protected me.
It was more than I deserved.
- Dont say that.
You deserve everything.
Im just so sorry
for every time I hurt you,
every time I wasnt there
for you.

- Remember when
we were little girls
and we used to dream
about our weddings?
The details changed
over the years,
like what our flowers
would look like
or what kind of dresses
we would wear.
But one thing remained the same.
I would be right by your side,
and you would be right by mine.

I love you.
- I love you more.





- Youre the love
of my life, girl
The reason
Im still alive, girl
Im gonna make you my wife
Oh, youre my everything
- Gonna give you my heart,
boy
Till the end of the world,
boy
Ill never let you go
Oh, youre my everything
- You make everything better
Youve made my life
a livin dream
Life could not be sweeter
Youre the only one for me
