00:03:47Of course you should have but I might be done with the road for a little while
00:03:52I was thinking I could crash here. Really I can make it work. I can work at the dining room table. Are you serious?
00:03:58I'm still looking at possibilities, but I thought I might you know, stick around after the holidays this year if that's okay

00:04:06I really should have checked with you first, but you know, we'll get you unpacked and we'll get you sorted. Oh

00:04:19I like the way they feel
00:04:21You know, I might swing by the bridge this afternoon and pick up a new one. Oh
00:04:26You didn't hear
00:04:34Hey Louise, happy holidays Charlie can't wait for the reopening. Oh very soon. Thank you
00:04:42Hey Bert, I Charlie, okay

00:05:10Hi any day now in the meantime
00:05:12Luther just got the lease for his restaurant. So you just camp out there and then we're ready for our big day. Merry Christmas
00:05:42And we need to put in more orders for that new bestseller they win
00:06:12I know
00:06:15Can't believe everyone actually came out in this weather
00:06:19Days like this. I wonder why we ever started a business made out of paper
00:06:31Sure, yeah, maybe I can steal one from the cafe
00:06:42There's a huge hole. It's coming in quick. Let's hold on to one
00:06:56There you are
00:07:02Didn't bring your scarf. I
00:07:08Heard from the insurance company
00:07:10Fred's insurance on the building only covers structural damage
00:07:17What about our renters insurance the bare minimum far from enough
00:07:28We need to repaint my furniture
00:07:34Most of all
00:07:37Books
00:07:41It's
00:07:44Their final decision
00:07:51Hey, you remember Ray Kurtz, he was a teller at Winston Hills Bank it well now he's a he's a loan officer. I ran into
00:08:02Charlie that but that's not our bank. He was talking about how much this place meant to him. I mean with him tomorrow
00:08:08I got a great feeling about it
00:08:10Charlie, we're late on our lease. We we can barely pay our bills
00:08:16What do you say
00:08:18We've had so many wonderful years here
00:08:22We we need to be honest about what's going on. I know what's going on
00:08:28This is still our dream
00:08:31We just we need to have faith a little longer
00:08:36And there's always room
00:08:40for hope
00:08:41God wouldn't have brought us this far to give up on us now
00:08:44Christmas is coming good things
00:08:49Happen at Christmas
00:08:52You'll see
00:08:55Right, my love
00:09:05You

00:09:27Play at that club
00:09:29Have my music there be considered in company with part of everybody else that's been there
00:09:36I
00:09:38Okay, now you why hey stop it
00:09:45Right, you got to say stuff out loud right now your video. Yeah, but you'll be my life in ten years
00:09:50So, what do you think?
00:09:54What say it say it right now I
00:09:59Don't think I want to run my dad's company and then I'm not even sure I want to stay in Seattle
00:10:05Molly
00:10:17Preston hi Peking duck for me long life noodles for you. Thanks
00:10:36You
00:10:41Last day of every school year my mom waltz me into the bridge to pick up my summer reading
00:10:46At first I thought I'd hate it, but I fell in love
00:10:50I have a son now six months old. We read to him every night
00:10:53Nothing better in the world
00:10:59So I
00:11:01Worked the numbers a million different ways
00:11:04Bookstores are hard right now. I
00:11:06Tried explaining how unique the bridge is and that you and mrs. B have made it work for so many years
00:11:11And it was just bad luck with your roof
00:11:14But I was told it's too big a risk. I am so sorry. We can't talk for you alone right now
00:11:30Charlie
00:11:33I would have called but I wanted to tell you in person your store means so much to the community. You're like family
00:11:44I'm
00:11:45I'm sure you did everything you could
00:11:48If you wouldn't mind, you know not mentioning this to anyone
00:11:52I'd appreciate it. Thank you
00:12:03I
00:12:27You didn't answer your phone, how did it go?
00:12:34Charlie we still have options
00:12:41No
00:12:45Fred heard from the insurance company too and without our back payments our promise of catching up
00:12:53He wants to put the building up for sale January 1st
00:12:58He wants to offer it to us
00:13:03Two weeks, there's no way that we I know
00:13:08Now listen Charlie, I heard about a new job opening at Price Mart. You're a good salesman a bookseller Donna
00:13:16All right. I sell books. I
00:13:19Know but if we don't stay we have to so what are you saying you're giving up?
00:13:25I don't want you but you are what else are we going to do Charlie if we don't talk practically about this
00:13:30It won't just be our store it will be our house too. No, I love this place just as much as you do
00:13:38It's been months Charlie
00:13:42And we are facing
00:13:45So if we just
00:13:49Give up
00:13:52What did it all add up to it doesn't change who you are
00:14:00Maybe Christmas isn't coming after all don't say that Charlie
00:14:10I'll meet you back at home. Okay
00:14:14No
00:14:17Let me try Charlie
00:14:20Okay
00:14:21Come with me leave your car. Yeah, we can pick it up in the morning. I just need a minute
00:14:30I
00:15:00I
00:15:31I
00:15:33Love
00:15:37What wait, what are you talking about?
00:15:45Yeah, no, no, no
00:15:49No
00:16:00Charlie's in a level three coma. That means he's unresponsive to I verbal and motor test. It's on a respirator because he can't breathe them
00:16:07So what are his chances of coming out? Well, if the swelling from his injury resolves quickly, it's a matter of days
00:16:14What do I do talk to him tell him what's waiting for and
00:16:18No one knows for sure, but people believe it makes a difference and there is a chapel down the hall if you're interested
00:16:24Pray never heard. Anyway, I'll circle back in a few hours
00:16:32Dr. Matz is an excellent doctor. Charlie's in good hands
00:16:37um, I
00:16:39Need to call some people so I'll do it. Give me your phone
00:16:43You stay by his side everyone on this floor knows what you and Charlie mean to me
00:16:50Last time I even tried to pray
00:16:53Charlie's the one with the faith. We'll find it together then. I'm here. Okay
00:17:12I
00:17:21Hope I have the right number. It's Edna Largo from Franklin, Tennessee. We met years ago. I thought you'd want to know
00:17:30Charlie Barton's has been in a terrible car accident
00:17:34When I saw your name on Donna's phone, I thought you'd want to know if you want more information ready
00:17:43I mean, you okay?
00:17:49Hey again a
00:17:53Dead dizzy, I
00:17:56Think I have to cancel if that's okay. Yeah, sure
00:18:02I'll drive you home. You don't have to do mom. If you're dizzy, I'm driving you home
00:18:10Yeah
00:18:12Gotcha
00:18:15Charlie Barton's has been in a terrible car accident
00:18:19When I saw your name on Donna's phone, I thought you'd want to know if you want more information my number is I'm so sorry
00:18:28You don't know anymore. There was a mention in the Franklin paper
00:18:33bookstore owner in an accident he
00:18:35Just get it on ice and he hit a pole. So you looked it up. I
00:18:40Haven't seen them in years. I never went back to Franklin. I left it all behind. No one in this room thinks you left anything
00:18:47behind
00:18:50Did you watch that video, okay
00:18:56Please
00:19:01Stop me from doing something I'll regret
00:19:03Why would I do that because it's a place I live for three months. Why should I go back honey?
00:19:08You don't just miss Charlie or the bridge you miss the girl you were there
00:19:13Or else why would you be watching the video this many Christmases later?
00:19:18Why do you know everything
00:19:20We both know if you don't go to Franklin in three months, you'll be CEO engaged to Preston and never look back
00:19:28It's now or never right
00:19:38I
00:19:41Is not young Ryan Kelly, how you doing
00:19:47Man you sure grew up a lot since you try to sneak in here underage to hear the music and not that often every weekend
00:19:53I
00:19:55See you've been playing backup gigs around the country good on you
00:19:59When you heading out, actually, I was thinking about sticking around here trying to find some new work in town. Hmm. Yeah that bad, huh?
00:20:07It's the new technology makes for fewer gigs. Those go to the locals who stuck around
00:20:13You know what? I just lost my backup guy for Amish night
00:20:18Tuesdays and Thursdays
00:20:19If you're serious, it's yours the way to connect with the regulars
00:20:24Start tonight if you like only two hours
00:20:27Sounds great. I'll take it
00:20:29Got to get on my mom's house as soon as possible. Welcome to lucky. Thanks
00:20:33Brian Kelly
00:20:36Kristen
00:20:41Me what are you doing here? I'm getting fully employed me too starting Tuesday and Thursday nights amateur night
00:20:48It's gonna be so much better than the last guy. So does this mean you're staying everything? Okay, they fire you
00:20:55Nothing like that. I took a break from the last leg. I try to get something going around here
00:20:59You know stick around for more than just the holidays
00:21:02What about you what happened with your degree, why are you waitressing?
00:21:05Well, I guess getting married and divorced in the span of two years leaves you with a lot to think about
00:21:10So I'm just doing the same thing. You are trying to figure out what comes next
00:21:15I'm staying in my parents and guest room. My mom turned my room into her office
00:21:20Drinks after you play tonight. Yeah. Yeah, you bet. I'm gonna go grab my guitar though and stop by the bridge to see if they
00:21:25Need anything. Hmm
00:21:27You haven't heard about the flood. Yeah, my mom told me
00:21:30The rebuilding or so, I thought what
00:21:35Charlie was in a car accident. He's in the ICU in a coma Ryan. I'm so sorry. I figured you heard
00:21:46You know people are leaving voicemails like crazy Jenny said she would be happy to sue the pole
00:21:53The
00:21:58Weather forecast doesn't call for snow this week, but we're hoping for Christmas
00:22:06I brought some of your favorite decorations, too
00:22:16Hey, you're the talker Charlie not me
00:22:24All I can say is
00:22:29Come back
00:22:33Please
00:22:48Ryan
00:22:54You didn't have to come but I'm so glad you did the bridge you and Charlie
00:23:02What can I do?
00:23:05Nothing we're just waiting now
00:23:10This is probably I
00:23:13Brought some books I
00:23:16I
00:23:17Thought I might help you restock or you could read to him or I could I actually don't have that much going on right now
00:23:23Wait a minute not much going on
00:23:26In your emails, you mentioned all that work you were doing on the road
00:23:30I'm back. Well, that's good
00:23:33It is good, isn't it?
00:23:35How about I grab you a coffee yell at a nurse by lunch?
00:23:40You know, there is one thing I don't know if Charlie remember to lock up before he left just give me your keys
00:23:47I'll stop by tonight and I'll bring you back some dinner, too. Well, I think Edna has that handled but I
00:23:53Do think I want to head down to the cafeteria
00:23:57And get something very bad for me besides I could use the walk
00:24:04Charlie's a fighter have faith. You'll see
00:24:09I
00:24:39I
00:25:09I
00:25:39I
00:25:50Little house in the big woods
00:25:54You guessed it my first day in the bridge somehow you knew how badly I wanted a family like that
00:26:02You made such a difference you and Donna and the bridge can we tell you that
00:26:10I wish I'd said it sooner. I wish I'd said a note or something
00:26:21I guess I just came to say thank you
00:26:31Molly Ryan
00:26:35What are you doing Charlie, of course
00:26:39Yeah, Edna Edna calls and Edna. Yeah, she thought that I might even though it's it's been seven years
00:26:46Yeah
00:26:49She's right, I
00:26:51Don't know what I thought I could do but just if there was anything
00:26:55Yeah, I was running an errand for Donna and got all of my truck and realize I forgot Oscar Oscar the truck. Yeah
00:27:01Yeah, I've been driven a much in the last few years. Oh
00:27:03No, no, I you know, I've been on the road playing music. Oh
00:27:08Great right. I remember you saying you were you were going on tour. Yeah, how's that? How's Kristen with you being away?
00:27:15Your wife do you guys have kids yet?
00:27:18No, we we never married. She married a guy that she met in Virginia at school and I never married
00:27:30But you're engaged to
00:27:34Preston and
00:27:36And the company your dad's yeah in three months. I'm taking over a CEO
00:27:41on your 25th birthday
00:27:44It looks like it all worked out just like your dad wanted, huh? Well, okay
00:27:51Ryan wait, are you?
00:27:56Yeah, sorry if you're
00:27:58Doing anything to help Charlie and Donna I would really like to be a part of it
00:28:01If I could it's it's why I came
00:28:05Sure, yeah, yeah, I'll let you know. Okay. Bye mom. Bye
00:28:18I thought Ryan not being married would be a good thing. Well, not if he never married and he never called
00:28:24You never called him because he was going back to her. They were gonna be together forever
00:28:29You okay, yes, I mean it's just it's I'm sad at least you're feeling that's more than you've done in a while
00:28:36I guess I just thought that if I came back here things would be
00:28:39Clearer that I would know about my future or what I'm supposed to do
00:28:43You're just too chicken to say it out loud
00:28:46Are you coming home?
00:28:49And do what I came here to do which is help the Burtons
00:28:54What's trip is about now you could do worse you're a good friend, you know, that's best friend
00:29:01I'm sorry about this
00:29:03Call when you need to okay
00:29:06Okay, bye
00:29:14Talk to me you've been quiet all night. I told him to give up at the bookstore
00:29:21Right before the accident
00:29:23What state must he have been in when he got behind that wheel don't do that
00:29:29People say things he knows how much you love him
00:29:33So much I told him to give up his dream
00:29:36He's coming back. That's what you tell him what he's got to come back to
00:29:42See, that's the thing our insurance appeal was denied. There's no money for the repairs
00:29:50Why didn't you say anything because he thought we'd overcome it Fred's putting the building up for sale January 1st
00:29:58Donna
00:30:02I'm scared. That's what he's not rallying. No, it's just stop
00:30:08There are so many people that are pulling for you so many people that know Charlie would never give up
00:30:14You need to let him know you're one of them
00:30:20You
00:30:50You
00:31:16Donna said you'd be here tonight
00:31:19The bridge is in trouble
00:31:21Donna and Charlie are in trouble. Their lives are gonna go up in smoke unless somebody does something fast. Are you willing to help? Yeah
00:31:32It's terrible I had no idea no one does
00:31:36That's the thing. He was too proud to say anything and now
00:31:41What
00:31:43Do we do I don't know
00:31:45But I thought if we can rally enough people who care as much as we do we might be able to figure it out
00:31:52We're gonna have to
00:31:57Hi, I'm not sure if you remember but Molly Callens, yeah, I
00:32:04Really don't mean to barge in but I was I was hoping maybe you would have some some time
00:32:12The
00:32:13Storm hit everyone pretty hard. I mean people were cleaning up for weeks
00:32:19You know if it wasn't for the condition of our roof, we might be like everyone else
00:32:24You know what? I want to hear about you. What are you doing in town? Um, actually I came to see you and Charlie really
00:32:33After all this time I never forgot Franklin or my time at the bridge, I mean I know it was short but
00:32:41It was very important to me
00:32:45So Molly is your life good are you doing what you want to do?
00:32:52Who's that
00:32:59Look who I found. Hey, hey, they're from the bridge. I was just bringing them for Donna. Oh
00:33:06Oh
00:33:09And your keys, thanks
00:33:11Do you want some tea? I can make some more tea. Oh, no, actually I got lucky. I don't mind. Um, I'll make you some
00:33:20Lucky oh, yeah. Yeah, I just got back to town and
00:33:24That's it's not really important. Sure. It is
00:33:28You're playing it lucky. I'm happy for you. Yeah
00:33:32I should probably get going. Hey, see you
00:33:37Hey
00:33:38Can I ask you a question? Sure
00:33:41We need to help the bridge and Charlie. I just thought just needs a wider audience. So
00:33:47Would you know how to get the word out? Yeah a hundred percent. Where do I sign up?
00:33:52So you're playing lucky it's really not what you think. Oh, come on today
00:33:57It's back up for someone else and tomorrow you're setting the world on fire
00:34:01You still believe it I never doubted your talent know that you'd end up where you want to be
00:34:10You
00:34:13Gotta go. Oh
00:34:15Yeah, I do. But could I get you want my number for the bridge stuff? Yeah, is it the same? Yeah, I got it
00:34:21There she is
00:34:51Who do you think he is?
00:34:53Preston.
00:34:55Your dad had a two-day conference in Nashville,
00:34:58and he sent me to his place.
00:35:00Wasn't that thoughtful?
00:35:01Super.
00:35:02I figured he'd give us a minute away from Seattle.
00:35:04You've talked about this place enough.
00:35:08Why'd you come here, anyway?
00:35:10I'm still pushing that radio station deal through, so...
00:35:13Yeah.
00:35:14So, you do dinner?
00:35:16Or be part of the conference?
00:35:18I'm gonna take some time to myself.
00:35:22Actually, I'm beat. I'm gonna turn in.
00:35:24Oh, yeah. Sure.
00:35:30Good night.
00:35:31Good night.
00:35:38If you're asking if I sent Preston down there after you left without telling me where you're going,
00:35:42and after you went back to a town you said you're never going back to, then yes, I did.
00:35:47I'm your father, Molly, and I'm concerned for you.
00:35:50That whole speech is emotional blackmail.
00:35:53Molly, what are you really doing in Franklin?
00:35:55Tell the truth.
00:35:57I'm tired, Dad.
00:35:59I'll call you tomorrow.
00:36:01Good night.
00:36:02Molly, wait.
00:36:17Good night.
00:36:48So awful.
00:36:52Should I just...
00:36:53I'm seeing Donna later. Do you want me to take it to her?
00:36:57Would you?
00:36:58Yeah.
00:36:59I mean, I don't know them that well, but...
00:37:00Sure.
00:37:01Thanks.
00:37:02Oh, uh, Molly.
00:37:03Molly.
00:37:05Please give Donna my best.
00:37:07See ya.
00:37:08Bye.
00:37:17Bye.
00:37:23I still remember when Lonnie first moved here to work in the music business.
00:37:28You remember everybody.
00:37:30Charlie's the one with the real memory.
00:37:33He'd be so touched to see how kind everyone's being.
00:37:37Maybe he does.
00:37:41Hey, how did you and Charlie meet, anyway?
00:37:43Fighting over a book.
00:37:45At the opposite kind of bookstore from the bridge.
00:37:49Who won?
00:37:50Me.
00:37:51Right.
00:37:53But he leveraged it into a date, so he says he won.
00:38:03Did you know that Charlie was the one right away?
00:38:09I could see his heart from that first minute.
00:38:15He had me from go.
00:38:20I still feel that way when I see him.
00:38:24Every day.
00:38:26I think that anyone who ever gets to feel that way...
00:38:31is very lucky.
00:38:33Don't you agree?
00:38:36Yeah.
00:39:04Hi.
00:39:05Molly.
00:39:06I think I know how to save the bridge.
00:39:08Can I come in?
00:39:09Yeah, yeah, come on.
00:39:10The store is a testament to Donna and Charlie's love.
00:39:13Both of books and of each other.
00:39:16And they use that love to connect people.
00:39:19And help them become who they're meant to be.
00:39:21You know?
00:39:22And I don't know, maybe it's a good thing.
00:39:24Maybe it's a bad thing.
00:39:25Maybe it's a good thing.
00:39:26Maybe it's a good thing.
00:39:27Maybe it's a good thing.
00:39:28Maybe it's a good thing.
00:39:29Maybe it's a good thing.
00:39:30Maybe it's a good thing.
00:39:31You know?
00:39:32And I don't know.
00:39:33Maybe it's because I was 18 and I didn't know any better.
00:39:35But last night I was looking at the website
00:39:37and it helped me remember that magic
00:39:40that allowed customers to find those stories
00:39:42and the people that were meant to change their lives.
00:39:44And I just feel like if we could get that out there
00:39:48that people could rally around that
00:39:50and they would want to save it too.
00:39:51Do you know what I mean?
00:39:52So, social media then?
00:39:53Exactly.
00:39:54And you've seen the website?
00:39:55It's prehistoric.
00:39:56They're not on Twitter or Instagram or even Facebook, I think.
00:40:01What?
00:40:02I'm just picturing Charlie on Facebook.
00:40:04Yeah.
00:40:06Maybe we can access an old database for a mailing list
00:40:09and then Donna could help with the customer files.
00:40:11Or I could go by the hospital and...
00:40:13I could come with you if that's okay.
00:40:16Yeah.
00:40:17Yeah, we always did work well together.
00:40:19Yeah, we did.
00:40:26A Twitter account?
00:40:27We'll create it.
00:40:28Or Molly will because I have no idea what I'm talking about.
00:40:32But we can post updates on the store and Charlie.
00:40:35How's he doing?
00:40:36Well, the doctor says he's a little more responsive every day.
00:40:40That's great.
00:40:41We just want him to have something promising to come home to.
00:40:45Charlie would like the way you keep saying we...
00:40:49We always knew things would change.
00:40:52But Charlie always insisted
00:40:54that people would still want to hold a book in their hands.
00:40:57You know?
00:40:58Turn down the pages, pass them down.
00:41:01That's why we kept hosting events.
00:41:05It's about the people, he'd always say.
00:41:08Keeping the community together.
00:41:11Community.
00:41:13That's it.
00:41:14I've got an idea.
00:41:15It's a little old school, but do you want to come with me?
00:41:19Sure.
00:41:20Come on.
00:41:22All the Main Street businesses benefit from each other.
00:41:24We figured maybe the local shops could help get the word out.
00:41:27Tell people about it, put in a promotion, or donate.
00:41:30Charlie and Donna are the sweetest, most wonderful people,
00:41:33but we were hit by the storm too,
00:41:35and I really don't have anything to offer.
00:41:38Thanks. If anything changes.
00:41:40Can I ask?
00:41:41A lot of the flowers that people brought to put outside the bridge,
00:41:44they came from your shop, didn't they?
00:41:46Do you think you could put aside a portion of the sales for Charlie's recovery?
00:41:51That I could do.
00:41:53That's great.
00:41:56Wouldn't amount to much.
00:41:58Even if I did donate a piece.
00:42:01I bet Charlie and Donna have bought a lot of stuff here over the years.
00:42:04Committed customers, 20 years.
00:42:08Some sort of businessman now.
00:42:10Not even close.
00:42:12Maybe you can't donate money, but do you have books?
00:42:15The store needs to be restocked.
00:42:17Wait, the bridge needs books?
00:42:19Charlie said they were reopening in about a week.
00:42:21Yeah, that's what he's been telling people.
00:42:23The bridge needs help. I'll lend a hand.
00:42:25I'm sure a lot of people feel that way.
00:42:27Well, is there somewhere we could gather up?
00:42:30We need it to go viral. Fast.
00:42:32Which means tapping into people's emotions, what they love.
00:42:36The story of a singular bookstore, a beloved owner in trouble.
00:42:39Everyone can relate to that.
00:42:41Yeah, everybody has a favorite book or bookstore.
00:42:43And if we can drive them to the bridge's website to share those feelings and those favorites.
00:42:48With links to donate and support the bridge and Charlie's recovery.
00:42:51It's everything that Charlie was all about.
00:42:53Bringing people together over their love of books.
00:42:55I'm going to call my marketing department and see if they can give us some help with this.
00:43:00Shoot, I need a signal.
00:43:02You guys keep talking.
00:43:06She's some go-getter.
00:43:09Wow, it's so weird to be in here. You talked about this place so often.
00:43:13Does it meet your expectations?
00:43:15Yeah, I mean, it definitely looks like somewhere somebody would go to be discovered.
00:43:20Hey, has it been okay for you? You said you were on the road.
00:43:23I've been making a decent living and working with some great, great people.
00:43:26So, I just kind of hope they'll be somewhere else by now, I guess.
00:43:29Yeah.
00:43:31What?
00:43:33Oh, nothing. I just wanted to say hi.
00:43:35What?
00:43:37Oh, nothing. I just thought that following my path might take me somewhere different, too.
00:43:43Maybe someplace more rewarding.
00:43:45It has its rewards, but, I don't know, some days it just feels...
00:43:51Maybe when you're 18, you have all these big ideas and then reality sets in.
00:43:59Do you really believe that?
00:44:00No.
00:44:02Being here and helping people who need it,
00:44:04it just feels so much more like what I thought it would than being part of a big company.
00:44:10I just feel like I could do so much good.
00:44:16You still writing songs?
00:44:17Yeah, I just started again recently.
00:44:20Really?
00:44:21Yeah.
00:44:22That's great.
00:44:23Hey, Rye. You're up.
00:44:24Great.
00:44:25Hey, do you want to stick around and watch the set and then catch up more after?
00:44:28Sure. I'd love to hear you play.
00:44:32You a fan?
00:44:34I'm an old fan.
00:44:35Yeah.
00:44:36Molly, hi.
00:44:37Molly, nice to meet you.
00:44:39So, yeah, we're right in the middle of a shift change here,
00:44:42so if you could settle up from before, then I'll have a new waitress.
00:44:45We'll be right here.
00:44:47Kristen.
00:44:48Molly.
00:44:49Hi.
00:44:50Wow, what are you doing in Franklin?
00:44:51I, uh, the bridge.
00:44:52Oh, sure.
00:44:53And Charlie, so it's just...
00:44:56I thought you were in Virginia. Married, Brian said?
00:44:59Uh, yeah, that didn't work out so well.
00:45:02I'm sorry.
00:45:03It's okay.
00:45:04I'm here.
00:45:05Here? At Lucky?
00:45:07Yeah.
00:45:08Great.
00:45:09Wow.
00:45:11Oh, wow, you're engaged.
00:45:13Yeah, sure. Yeah.
00:45:15Huh.
00:45:18You know, I just remembered.
00:45:21Could you tell Ryan that I forgot about a business call I have to make to Seattle?
00:45:25Because I work in Seattle.
00:45:27Actually, well, I live in Seattle.
00:45:28My life is primarily in Seattle.
00:45:32Yeah, so I gotta go, but if you could just tell him that it'd be great.
00:45:38Yeah, thanks, Kristen.
00:45:52There you are.
00:45:54Hi.
00:45:55I, uh, tried calling, but...
00:45:58You okay?
00:45:59Yeah.
00:46:00Yeah, how's the conference?
00:46:01It's great.
00:46:02Great.
00:46:03Listen, I thought you were supposed to go for a workout, but...
00:46:05You want to take a walk?
00:46:06Sure.
00:46:07Great.
00:46:12Ah, I love this time of year.
00:46:15Makes me, I don't know...
00:46:20A little bold.
00:46:23Molly, I think you know how I felt about you for a long time now.
00:46:37It's crazy.
00:46:39All these years later, I'm doing exactly what I want to do with exactly the people I want to deal with.
00:46:47There's only one more thing that wouldn't make me even happier.
00:46:53Marry me.
00:46:58I didn't expect to be doing this in my workout clothes and the rings in my room, but the moment felt right.
00:47:04Oh, Preston.
00:47:08Oh, Preston, yes?
00:47:15I'm sorry. I love you.
00:47:18No.
00:47:19I don't... I don't feel...
00:47:23Yes, you do, Molly.
00:47:26We've been together for...
00:47:32But I waited, and if you didn't...
00:47:35What have we been doing?
00:47:37I should have said something earlier. I was just...
00:47:41Being back in Franklin, I...
00:47:43What is it with this place? Everything you love is in Seattle.
00:47:46Your father, your friends, your work, me.
00:47:52There's a whole life waiting for you.
00:47:54It's not a life that I chose.
00:47:56Being back here, I realized that I can't commit to a job, let alone a marriage,
00:48:04before I figure out what I'm supposed to be like on my own.
00:48:11I'm sorry.
00:48:13You've always known what you were meant for, and all I'm asking for is a chance to do that too.
00:48:20Can you understand that?
00:48:24Preston?
00:48:44And the stupid thing is, ever since she's got to town, I felt different.
00:48:47Like I have direction again. I know how to move forward.
00:48:50And songs? They've been flying out of me. Good ones.
00:48:55I have been waiting a long time for this.
00:48:59Ryan Kelly performing his own music.
00:49:02Fine.
00:49:08Oh, wow. I've... I've got to go right now.
00:49:12Thanks so much for the talk, Nikki.
00:49:32Hi, Dad.
00:49:33Did you get my messages?
00:49:34Uh, no. Sorry, I couldn't.
00:49:36You turned Preston down.
00:49:38What, he called you?
00:49:39No, I called him to ask about the conferences.
00:49:41He was beside himself. I asked what happened. He told me.
00:49:43What are you doing?
00:49:44I'm trying to figure that out.
00:49:45Then come home. Get away from that place.
00:49:47No.
00:49:48No?
00:49:49No, I have to see this through. There's a bookstore and Charlie and Donna.
00:49:52You ran away from that place after your heart was broken.
00:49:54I picked you up. I dusted you off.
00:49:56If you think I'm interested in helping you through that again, you're wrong.
00:49:59Look, I've put my entire life in your hands, and they're safe hands,
00:50:03but isn't turning 25 time for me to take control?
00:50:07Shouldn't I follow my dreams like Mom wanted me to?
00:50:10Well, what are your dreams?
00:50:13Tell me, what is it you really want to do?
00:50:18Uh...
00:50:21Honey, if you don't answer, I am coming down there.
00:50:24Charlie's getting off the ventilator.
00:50:26Wait, who is that?
00:50:27Um...
00:50:28Dad, I have to call you back.
00:50:41Okay, Charlie.
00:50:42I'm going to let you breathe on your own for a few minutes.
00:50:45Now, it might be a little uncomfortable at first
00:50:48because you'll be exercising muscles you haven't used in a few days.
00:50:51That in here is going to take your vitals,
00:50:53and if there's any distress,
00:50:54we're going to give you back all the oxygen you need, okay?
00:50:57You need to breathe too, all right?
00:51:04Talk to him.
00:51:05Tell him what's happening.
00:51:07You're doing great, Charlie.
00:51:11You're breathing.
00:51:12Good.
00:51:13Keep it up, Charlie.
00:51:14We're all here.
00:51:15Keep going, my love.
00:51:20Okay.
00:51:21That's all right.
00:51:22We'll do a little more each day.
00:51:24Yeah, and if he keeps this up,
00:51:26and the swelling continues to go down,
00:51:28we're really looking at a matter of days.
00:51:30In the meantime, keep up the sensory simulation.
00:51:32Talk to him, play music,
00:51:33anything that connects him back to his body.
00:51:35Teachers told my parents I'd never learn to read.
00:51:38Because of you and the bridge,
00:51:40I teach English to special-needs kids now.
00:51:42Hear that, Charlie?
00:51:44You gave me my first book for free when I was 8.
00:51:47I traded it for another until I had my first job
00:51:49and can buy books on my own.
00:51:51My sponsor turned me on to the bridge.
00:51:53Charlie, you helped me find the books I needed to heal.
00:51:56We got information about adoption at the bridge.
00:51:59Thanks to you, we have a baby girl.
00:52:02You know, Charlie and I weren't able to have kids.
00:52:06He said, we'll just make the bridge our family.
00:52:14Charlie.
00:52:17Sweetheart.
00:52:19Look at what you've made.
00:52:22Come on.
00:52:24Come on.
00:52:27Look at what you've made.
00:52:30Come on.
00:52:32Open your eyes.
00:52:35See what's surrounding you.
00:52:38So much is waiting.
00:52:41Christmas is waiting.
00:52:44That's not all.
00:52:46This is $500.
00:52:48Oh, my gosh.
00:52:51Hey, you knew about the bridge before me.
00:52:54What's your story? How'd it find you?
00:52:56Guitar lessons.
00:52:58I wanted them so badly, my mom bribed me.
00:53:01If I read a book a week, she'd pay for them.
00:53:03And I found out later, between guitar lessons and the books,
00:53:06it stretched our budget so far
00:53:08that she was selling magazines at night on the phone
00:53:10after I went to bed.
00:53:12Wow, your mom is something else.
00:53:14Yeah, she's a good blackmailer.
00:53:17Somebody said you want to grab a drink or something?
00:53:19Uh, actually, I was gonna go back to the B&B
00:53:21and work on the website.
00:53:23Of course, yeah, of course.
00:53:25But my company forbids me from doing that.
00:53:27It does not, however, forbid me
00:53:30from teaching somebody else to do that.
00:53:33Wait, you're not talking about technology?
00:53:37Oh, come on.
00:53:39Oscar the Truck, here we come.
00:53:41Come on.
00:53:43So click up here.
00:53:45And the logo, yeah, up here on the left.
00:53:47Yeah, no, you're good.
00:53:49And then drag it down.
00:53:51Nice.
00:53:53And then you can click off, you don't need it.
00:53:55And then just over there, it'll let you type.
00:53:57Oh.
00:53:59Yep, perfect, go ahead.
00:54:01Go for it.
00:54:03Here, let's dress it up a bit.
00:54:05Yeah, yeah, see?
00:54:07Nice.
00:54:09Magical.
00:54:11And then we should probably put a counter down on the right-hand side.
00:54:13And then we're almost done.
00:54:15If you just want to...
00:54:17Yep, and then last key, here.
00:54:21We're live.
00:54:23We did it.
00:54:25You did it.
00:54:27I just typed very badly.
00:54:29Okay, so the next thing we should probably do is...
00:54:31Oh, have mercy.
00:54:33It's 3 a.m.
00:54:35I'm starving.
00:54:37How are you not starving?
00:54:39It's not right.
00:54:41All right, I think we're good.
00:54:43Yeah? Okay.
00:54:45Ready?
00:54:47Yep.
00:54:49Look at that.
00:54:51There you go.
00:54:53Is that enough?
00:54:55It's perfect.
00:54:57Now for my favorite part.
00:54:59Mmm, smells good.
00:55:01It's going to be...
00:55:03taste even better.
00:55:11Okay, this is...
00:55:13this is going to sound crazy, but...
00:55:15they're really lucky, aren't they?
00:55:17Charlie and Donna?
00:55:19I mean, not what's happening right now, but...
00:55:21the fact that they spent their lives
00:55:23creating something that matters,
00:55:25they've inspired so many people.
00:55:27I think they're lucky because...
00:55:31they have each other.
00:55:33Yeah.
00:55:35Donna said
00:55:37it was love at first sight fighting over a book.
00:55:39Should we put that on there?
00:55:41Maybe.
00:55:43And then maybe other people could talk about their own first moments.
00:55:45Their own love at first sight.
00:55:47What do you think?
00:55:51Um, I think that...
00:55:57I think it's snowing.
00:56:09What in the world's all this?
00:56:13Deliveries keep coming.
00:56:17We could load it in the back of my truck.
00:56:19We're going to need a fleet of trucks.
00:56:27I don't understand, where are all these coming from?
00:56:29Ohio, Texas, California.
00:56:31This one's from Canada.
00:56:33Why didn't you just leave them at the store?
00:56:35Well, no, they should be here for when Charlie wakes up.
00:56:37$5,400?
00:56:41That's just from the envelopes.
00:56:43But the website is up to $14,043
00:56:45in just two days.
00:56:47No, that total's wrong.
00:56:49It's actually $19,043.
00:56:51My record company heard about the bridge
00:56:53and we're donating $5,000.
00:56:57What?
00:56:59You have a record company?
00:57:01Yeah, I'm a record exec.
00:57:03Oh, well, you've met Ryan Kelly,
00:57:05musician extraordinaire, right?
00:57:07No.
00:57:09What? Charlie put people together all the time.
00:57:11It's only fitting that this should happen in his room.
00:57:13Right, Donna?
00:57:15Right. Oh, great.
00:57:17She's here for the ventilator.
00:57:19Charlie's been breathing on his own
00:57:21since yesterday.
00:57:23Charlie!
00:57:27You're doing so well.
00:57:31$19,000 plus $5,400.
00:57:33But still only a tenth of the down payment
00:57:35on a commercial property. We still need a savior,
00:57:37a knight riding up on a horse.
00:57:39The landlord doesn't realize how much the bridge's
00:57:41customer base has grown.
00:57:43We're the thousands of followers we have on Facebook and Twitter.
00:57:45Has anybody talked to him?
00:57:47I nominate Molly.
00:57:49Oh, yeah, sure, I just need his information.
00:57:51Oh, also, Jenny is in charge of organizing
00:57:53the Christmas carols for tomorrow, so everybody talk to her, okay?
00:57:55Let's go.
00:57:57Whoo!
00:57:59Hey, man.
00:58:01I didn't realize you were that right in Kelly
00:58:03till Molly said so.
00:58:05You got a sec? Yeah.
00:58:09Mr. Fellows, I... Fred.
00:58:11Fred. I'm a businesswoman.
00:58:13I completely understand your issues,
00:58:15but the bridge is such a... You have no idea
00:58:17how much I've loved the bridge.
00:58:19My wife died suddenly
00:58:21eight years ago and left me with three boys.
00:58:23I took them to the bridge for books,
00:58:25to get a break,
00:58:27find books on how to raise them.
00:58:29But my eldest is about to go to college.
00:58:31If they can't rebuild, that's my income, too.
00:58:33But the money keeps coming in.
00:58:35Is it enough?
00:58:37For repairs? For the down payment.
00:58:39Well, sir, they're booksellers.
00:58:41You know they may never have that kind of money.
00:58:43It's my biggest hope that they come up with it,
00:58:45but without a guarantee...
00:58:47It's a very nice thing
00:58:49that you're doing,
00:58:51but I can't wait.
00:58:53I'm sorry.
00:58:55Okay.
00:58:57I understand.
00:58:59Thanks for your time.
00:59:01You wanted to stay.
00:59:03I know. I just...
00:59:05I'm playing backup
00:59:07an amateur night four hours a week.
00:59:09That's the only thing out there.
00:59:11Do you know how many musicians would kill for this gig?
00:59:13I know how many have your gifts. Zero.
00:59:15And you'd give it up to wind up
00:59:17exactly where you are in a year again.
00:59:19You were moving forward.
00:59:21What's the issue?
00:59:23What if what I've got is as far as I'm gonna get?
00:59:25How will you know if you keep running away?
00:59:27Honey,
00:59:29all I want is for you to be happy.
00:59:31But I taught you to grab life
00:59:33with both hands.
00:59:35Go to Italy. Yes.
00:59:37No matter how long it takes to get there.
00:59:39Ryan, show people who you are.
00:59:43Or does this have something to do with Molly?
00:59:47We both know that's why you went on the road
00:59:49in the first place.
00:59:51With her or without her.
00:59:53It's time for you to decide.
00:59:55Are you gonna step up or not?
01:00:03I'm on break.
01:00:05You don't have to keep bringing me things.
01:00:07But thank you.
01:00:09How are you holding up?
01:00:11You went through it with Tom.
01:00:13I didn't go through this.
01:00:15No, I didn't mean that. I'm sorry.
01:00:17No, I meant I can't even begin
01:00:19to imagine what you're going through.
01:00:21I wouldn't be where I am today
01:00:23if it wasn't for you and Charlie.
01:00:27You had faith.
01:00:29It might have made it easier
01:00:31for you.
01:00:33I've been thinking
01:00:35maybe for you
01:00:37crossing that line to faith
01:00:39feels like betraying something.
01:00:41Something in you hasn't forgiven
01:00:43or forgotten.
01:00:45This isn't about you. It's about Charlie.
01:00:47And if you can open up
01:00:49and ask for things for him
01:00:53someone will listen.
01:00:57Someone's always listening.
01:00:59And prayer
01:01:01and faith aren't necessarily
01:01:03found in houses of worship.
01:01:07They're in your heart.
01:01:09And you've always had that faith in Charlie.
01:01:11Maybe if you wanted
01:01:13you could access it that way.
01:01:29You came.
01:01:31To your debut at Lucky? Are you kidding?
01:01:33Well, it's amateur night, so don't expect too much.
01:01:35Okay, first of all, you are not an amateur.
01:01:37And I've already heard your music, so...
01:01:39How do you feel?
01:01:41I'm electrified, yeah. I mean, I play backup,
01:01:43so it's not anymore.
01:01:45You're up.
01:01:49And Mom,
01:01:51Merry Christmas Eve-y.
01:01:55Hey, everyone.
01:01:57Let's have a big, lucky
01:01:59welcome for Ryan Kelly.
01:02:05What's going on, Ryan Kelly?
01:02:07Thanks, it's good to see you guys, too.
01:02:09So you've probably all heard about the Bridge bookstore
01:02:11and its owner, Charlie Barton,
01:02:13who was in an accident last week.
01:02:15Ever since, I've been writing songs about a bookseller
01:02:17and his patrons,
01:02:19each one with a story to tell.
01:02:21But this was the first one I wrote.
01:02:23It's about lost love.
01:02:29That was once upon
01:02:31a time
01:02:33Once upon a time
01:02:41So many lessons learned
01:02:43So many twists and turns
01:02:45Sometimes it's hard
01:02:47to have faith
01:02:53I'd walk on hot coals
01:02:55for Charlie.
01:02:59I'd jump out of an airplane,
01:03:01beg for mercy.
01:03:07So please,
01:03:11I'm following his lead here.
01:03:15Please,
01:03:17answer my prayer.
01:03:23Once upon a time
01:03:32Ryan Kelly, everyone!
01:03:35Local boy, Ryan Kelly!
01:03:45Donna.
01:03:47Come quick. Charlie moved his hand.
01:03:54Ryan.
01:03:56That was incredible.
01:03:58I've been bottling it up.
01:04:00You're amazing. You know that?
01:04:02Nothing's changed because
01:04:04music just blows out of me when I'm around you.
01:04:06What?
01:04:08Are you happy, Mom?
01:04:10Has your 10-year plan worked out?
01:04:12You probably don't remember that video we made.
01:04:14Actually, I watch it every December.
01:04:20I know you're following the life plan
01:04:22that you had.
01:04:24I just have to ask.
01:04:26You're not wearing your ring.
01:04:28Did something change?
01:04:30Ryan, listen, if I tell you something...
01:04:32Hey, did you hear that crowd?
01:04:34Did you hear that crowd?
01:04:36You can come back here anytime.
01:04:38If that Pacific Rim tour doesn't keep you away from us,
01:04:40great set.
01:04:44You're going back on the road?
01:04:46No, no.
01:04:48It's okay, Ryan. I'm happy for you.
01:04:50What were you about to say?
01:04:52I've got to get out of here after this
01:04:54to pack, and I'm going back to Seattle tomorrow.
01:04:56It's Christmas Eve.
01:04:58But you're a fiancé, right?
01:05:04Bye, Ryan.
01:05:22You hung up on me?
01:05:24Yeah.
01:05:28Molly.
01:05:30I told you I'd come down.
01:05:32What do you want? You want me home?
01:05:34I'm flying home tomorrow. It's Christmas Eve.
01:05:38You don't talk to me like that.
01:05:40No, I don't.
01:05:42I do everything I'm told.
01:05:44I hop to. That's the kind of girl I am.
01:05:46What's come over you?
01:05:48Except now. I quit.
01:05:50You quit?
01:05:52I quit Callens Media. I don't want to be CEO anymore.
01:05:56Good night, Dad.
01:05:58Thanks for coming.
01:06:12You've been drinking.
01:06:14I'm completely clear.
01:06:16I'm just, I'm done.
01:06:18I can't follow the plan anymore.
01:06:20I'm not with you.
01:06:22Tonight, I went to this bar called Lucky and Ryan.
01:06:24Ryan.
01:06:26He followed through. He played his own music in this bar.
01:06:28It's about Ryan.
01:06:30Would you just listen?
01:06:32He followed his heart, and
01:06:34he was ridiculously amazing,
01:06:36and the look on his face was just...
01:06:38He...
01:06:40By doing this,
01:06:42he became the person that he was meant to be.
01:06:44Wait.
01:06:46You're giving everything up because of him?
01:06:48I'm with him, okay?
01:06:50He doesn't want me.
01:06:52And it's about more than that.
01:06:54It's about what he inspired in me.
01:06:56It's about who I'm supposed to be.
01:06:58I really need you to understand this.
01:07:00Dad, I've always done everything you wanted.
01:07:04I learned the business.
01:07:06I transferred from Belmont
01:07:08to Stanford after my first semester.
01:07:10That was your choice. Dad, please.
01:07:12You said you had nothing left
01:07:14after that boy broke your heart.
01:07:16He knew that you were better off with Preston,
01:07:18or he wouldn't have done it. Dad.
01:07:20Wait, how could he...
01:07:22Ryan knew
01:07:24that you belong with Preston,
01:07:26and that is why he broke it off.
01:07:28How would he have known?
01:07:30I never talked to him about Preston.
01:07:32The only way he would have known
01:07:34would have been if...
01:07:40That Christmas Eve.
01:07:43What did you do?
01:07:45I protected you.
01:07:47You called him?
01:07:49What did you say?
01:07:51I said you had a life in Seattle,
01:07:53and he wasn't part of it.
01:07:55Why? So I could come back
01:07:57and run a corporation and marry
01:07:59a man that I don't love? You did this!
01:08:01So you would have the right life!
01:08:03How would you know what that is when you never let me find out?
01:08:07You probably thought I never loved him at all.
01:08:09Molly. No, no, no, no.
01:08:11We are so done.
01:08:13You are going to install Preston
01:08:15as CEO and hand over
01:08:17my inheritance to me, or I swear I will
01:08:19leave Seattle for good.
01:08:21I couldn't change the inheritance
01:08:23even if I wanted to.
01:08:25And if you don't take over as CEO,
01:08:27you're never going to see that money.
01:08:29Look, I get that you want to save this bookstore
01:08:31or whatever market it is that you're on,
01:08:33but you're never
01:08:35going to be this store's
01:08:37white knight.
01:08:49Yes, I will.
01:08:51Watch me.
01:08:53Molly. You said you did all this for me.
01:08:55You did this
01:08:57for yourself.
01:08:59You ruined my life
01:09:01for you.
01:09:07Molly.
01:09:21Molly.
01:09:23Hi.
01:09:25I know it's late, but I have a proposition for you.
01:09:37I don't think I want to run my dad's company,
01:09:39and that...
01:09:41I'm not even sure I want to stay in Seattle.
01:09:43Molly.
01:10:07Hi.
01:10:11Can I come in?
01:10:15I thought about everything you said
01:10:17to me
01:10:19and tried to answer for myself
01:10:21what was true.
01:10:23I wanted to make your life the best
01:10:25it possibly could be.
01:10:27Dad, I... Please, let me finish.
01:10:31But I went about it the wrong way.
01:10:33The thing with Ryan,
01:10:35I never should have done that.
01:10:39You're entitled to
01:10:41make your own decisions
01:10:43and your own mistakes.
01:10:47I took that away from you,
01:10:49and I'm sorry.
01:10:53But don't resign.
01:10:55I don't want you away from me,
01:10:57and I don't want you angry
01:10:59with me.
01:11:01You're my daughter.
01:11:03I love you.
01:11:07So tell me
01:11:09how to fix this.
01:11:13I found something
01:11:15being here.
01:11:17It was a piece of me I
01:11:19was never going to find in Seattle
01:11:21because I was away from you.
01:11:25Okay.
01:11:27When I came home that Christmas, I was mourning that
01:11:29as well as Ryan.
01:11:33I love being here.
01:11:35I am really good at connecting
01:11:37the dots to make good things happen for people.
01:11:39So
01:11:41what if I stay with the company?
01:11:43Yes. Not as CEO.
01:11:45I want to head up the Callens Foundation.
01:11:47But there is no
01:11:49Callens Foundation. There should be.
01:11:51We should be balancing out the hard business we do
01:11:53by reaching out to others.
01:11:55Forming a foundation. I want to do that.
01:11:57I think I would be amazing
01:11:59at it, and it would make my life
01:12:01feel complete.
01:12:03So
01:12:05what do you say?
01:12:15Hey.
01:12:21I look forward to you coming home.
01:12:23I have a couple things to wrap up first.
01:12:25Okay.
01:12:27Love you. Bye.
01:12:29Love you, too.
01:12:31Thanks.
01:12:53Charlie is going to love this.
01:12:55Hey. There you are.
01:12:57It's going to be incredible. Come on.
01:12:59I'm going to meet you guys in there. Okay.
01:13:01Come on, guys.
01:13:03Hey.
01:13:11You hear that, Charlie?
01:13:13It must be some church
01:13:15group caroling for the holidays.
01:13:19You love carols, Charlie.
01:13:23Come on.
01:13:25Open your eyes.
01:13:29Come on, Charlie.
01:13:55Glory
01:13:57to the
01:13:59newborn
01:14:01King
01:14:03You're not going to believe
01:14:05this.
01:14:07Charlie has been
01:14:09moving all morning.
01:14:11And this whole time
01:14:13he's been squeezing my
01:14:15hand.
01:14:25Charlie.
01:14:27Charlie.
01:14:29Are you there?
01:14:31Charlie.
01:14:33It's me.
01:14:37It's me.
01:14:39It's me.
01:14:41Yes.
01:14:43Yes.
01:14:45I'll go get Dr. Matt.
01:14:47Okay, Charlie.
01:14:49You had a car accident.
01:14:51And
01:14:53you've been out of it
01:14:55now for over a week.
01:14:57And all these
01:14:59people, they've been helping
01:15:01and praying, Charlie,
01:15:03for you.
01:15:07Hi, Charlie. I'm Dr. Matt.
01:15:09We've been working together the last week.
01:15:11So you've got some fans
01:15:13here.
01:15:15Yeah. How are you feeling, Charlie?
01:15:17Like a
01:15:19kid at Christmas.
01:15:21We've got some presents for you
01:15:23if you want.
01:15:25Is that okay? Yeah, I think so.
01:15:37They're all yours.
01:15:39They're all books, Charlie.
01:15:41People sent them to the bridge when they heard
01:15:43what happened.
01:15:45Am I...
01:15:47Am I dreaming?
01:15:49No.
01:15:51Ryan
01:15:53and Molly
01:15:55and everyone insisted
01:15:57on bringing them here so they'd be here
01:15:59when you woke up.
01:16:01And people
01:16:03sent money, Charlie.
01:16:05From everywhere.
01:16:07Thousands
01:16:09and thousands of dollars.
01:16:11It's marked urgent.
01:16:13What?
01:16:19What's this?
01:16:23Anonymous
01:16:25source
01:16:27purchased the bridge?
01:16:29What? We still have a week.
01:16:31Wait a minute. There's a letter.
01:16:33Dear Charlie, it came to my attention
01:16:35you and the bridge have fallen on hard times.
01:16:37The time I spent at the bridge
01:16:39was the best of my life.
01:16:41So I bought the building
01:16:43and because I once
01:16:45saw you sell a book to a single mother
01:16:47for a penny from now on
01:16:49and for as long as you want
01:16:51to run the bridge, that will be
01:16:53your annual lease.
01:16:55One penny.
01:16:59Charlie,
01:17:01because the truth is
01:17:03I would do anything for you, sir.
01:17:07Anything that was right.
01:17:09We don't have to close.
01:17:11We can reopen
01:17:13the bridge and we have
01:17:15all the books
01:17:17and the money we need to repair it.
01:17:19Christmas came.
01:17:25Your family came.
01:17:31You were right.
01:17:35God's not done with us yet.
01:17:45Okay.
01:18:05Airport.
01:18:15Oh.
01:18:45Okay.
01:19:15Okay.
01:19:37Molly.
01:19:45I couldn't do it.
01:19:49I couldn't get on a plane and
01:19:51leave Franklin.
01:19:57What is it?
01:20:01Molly.
01:20:03I'm not
01:20:05engaged.
01:20:07I was never engaged. I lied.
01:20:09And I wore my mother's engagement ring
01:20:11because I thought you'd be happily married
01:20:13to Kristen and I just
01:20:15couldn't stand...
01:20:17I'm sorry for misleading
01:20:19you.
01:20:21But you're not engaged.
01:20:23What about the ring that you...
01:20:25I sold it to put a down payment on the building
01:20:27for Donna and Charlie.
01:20:29That
01:20:31Christmas Eve...
01:20:33Eve.
01:20:35My dad called you, didn't he?
01:20:37What did he say?
01:20:39He said a lot of things.
01:20:41The recording, the conversation
01:20:43that you had with Preston that night when we were together.
01:20:45He said that you
01:20:47loved him and were going to Seattle.
01:20:49No. No, it's not...
01:20:51Preston was calling from my dad's office.
01:20:53My dad records all of his phone calls.
01:20:55I was actually
01:20:57telling Preston that I just love him as a
01:20:59friend and I guess
01:21:01my dad wanted me back so
01:21:03badly that he cut that part out.
01:21:05But you
01:21:07had those feelings.
01:21:09I never stopped having those feelings.
01:21:13You wanted Kristen.
01:21:15You said forever. I just did that so you could
01:21:17live the life that you wanted.
01:21:19The life I wanted is here.
01:21:21From the minute
01:21:23I got here and I met you, I never
01:21:25wanted to leave.
01:21:27All that time?
01:21:39You mean it?
01:21:41You couldn't leave Franklin?
01:21:43I quit.
01:21:45I'm not going to be CEO.
01:21:47When? Last night.
01:21:49We're forming a foundation
01:21:51that I'm going to lead using Callen's Media.
01:21:53What?
01:21:55A brand new foundation
01:21:57could be run from
01:21:59anywhere, right? But you're going
01:22:01back on the road, aren't you?
01:22:03Actually, there's
01:22:05this girl
01:22:07who reminded me who I was
01:22:09and who I wanted to be and I wrote her
01:22:11so many songs that a music
01:22:13executive signed me to a publishing deal.
01:22:15He thinks we have enough for a whole
01:22:17album.
01:22:19Brian! I'm staying in Franklin and I'm going to
01:22:21write songs. You three years early.
01:22:23The ten year plan.
01:22:25You wanted to write songs for a living.
01:22:27And you wanted to make a difference in the world.
01:22:29So we made it three years
01:22:31early because of you. Because of you.
01:22:37Because of you.
