00:00:00Hey!
00:00:01How many of you can get your head out of these architecture books, Holly, and finally go
00:00:07out with me?
00:00:08Never in a million years, Dirk Diggle.
00:00:09I want your book back.
00:00:10I'm glad you're coming to get it.
00:00:11Come on.
00:00:12Hey!
00:00:13Hey!
00:00:14Listen, don't fight this, okay?

00:00:33Ow!
00:00:34You bitch!
00:00:35She said she's not interested, bro!
00:00:36Prick Brody.
00:00:37Oh, you always gotta play the hero, huh?
00:00:38Yeah, go ahead.
00:00:39You're one demerit away from getting thrown out of this school.
00:00:40You want your book back so bad?
00:00:41Alright.
00:00:42You take it.
00:00:43Ow!
00:00:44Ow!
00:00:45Ow!
00:00:46Ow!
00:00:47Ow!
00:00:48Ow!
00:00:49Ow!
00:00:50Ow!
00:00:51Ow!
00:00:52Ow!
00:00:53Ow!
00:00:54Ow!
00:00:55Ow!
00:00:56Ow!
00:00:57Ow!
00:00:58Ow!
00:01:08No, this is going to cost a fortune to replace!
00:01:11You can have mine.
00:01:14No, I couldn't.
00:01:15Yeah, you could.
00:01:16I've seen you in class.
00:01:17You are brilliant.
00:01:18I'm going to get way more use out of this than I ever was.
00:01:27Did you want to grab lunch or keep studying?
00:01:40Yeah.
00:01:41Yeah?
00:01:42Grab lunch.
00:01:43Great.
00:01:44When did you two get back from the honeymoon?
00:01:51Just an hour ago.
00:01:52And?
00:01:53This was waiting for me when I got back.
00:01:55I got in, Daddy.
00:01:57The Young Architects Program in Paris.
00:01:59It's a dream come true.
00:02:00And when we get back, we're going to rebuild this town.
00:02:07Together.
00:02:08Allie, get me some ice.
00:02:11Sure, Daddy.
00:02:12Are you two insane?
00:02:20Rebuild this town?
00:02:21This town is dying.
00:02:22And I want my daughter as far away from it as possible.
00:02:26But, sir, we have a plan.
00:02:29We even applied to adopt a child.
00:02:32Even more reason to end this now before you keep her trapped here forever.
00:02:36I promised Allie's mother before she passed away that I would take care of our daughter.
00:02:41She deserves more than this two-bit town, and quite frankly, she deserves more than
00:02:46you.
00:02:47But, sir, I love her more than anything.
00:02:49I promise.
00:02:51I will always take care of her.
00:02:52And you think that's important?
00:02:54She's going to be a world-class architect.
00:02:58You, you're a local boy with a hammer.
00:03:02If you truly loved her, you'd let her go.
00:03:05Let her make something of herself.
00:03:08Deep down, you know I'm right.
00:03:11Here.
00:03:12This should be enough.
00:03:17But I want her on that plane alone.
00:03:25I want her on that plane alone.
00:03:32For Mr. and Mrs. Craig Brody.
00:03:34We just got married.
00:03:36I got into an architecture program at Paris, and my new husband is coming with me.
00:03:40Actually, I'm not coming with you, Allie.
00:03:44What?
00:03:45Why?
00:03:46Do you think I want to just sit around while you study crumbling buildings?
00:03:50You're never going to be a real architect.
00:03:52The world is going to chew you up and spit you out, and it's going to be too pathetic
00:03:57for me to watch.
00:04:00Um, what, what?
00:04:02No, what about our plans?
00:04:05We were trying to start a family together.
00:04:08No, the last person I'd want to start a family with is you, Allie.
00:04:12I want a divorce.
00:04:15No, no, but where is this coming from?
00:04:19Hi, Craig baby.
00:04:21Are you seeing Trista now?
00:04:24Yeah.
00:04:25Just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:04:28Craig, no.
00:04:29What?
00:04:33I thought you believed in me.
00:04:36Ma'am, boarding is closing.
00:04:37Are you coming or not?
00:04:41Ma'am, boarding is closing.
00:04:43Are you coming or not?
00:04:46Yes, but I'd like to change my ticket to one way.
00:04:57Ms. Filner!
00:04:58Ms. Filner, you were just recognized as Time Magazine's top CEO to watch, and your company
00:05:03is taking the New York architecture scene by storm.
00:05:06What's next for you?
00:05:07Um, I don't know.
00:05:09Taking over the world?
00:05:11Well, you and your boyfriend, billionaire politician Ned Vogel, are quite the power couple.
00:05:15He must be so proud.
00:05:17I'm not doing any of this for man's approval.
00:05:19Well, word on the street is he's planning on proposing.
00:05:22You must be the luckiest girl in the world.
00:05:26The luckiest girl in the world?
00:05:28Right.
00:05:29Ms. Filner!
00:05:31Oh my God.
00:05:37Allie Bildner, you are the most impressive woman I have ever met.
00:05:44You are my soulmate.
00:05:46Allie Bildner, you are the most impressive woman I have ever met.
00:05:52You are my soulmate.
00:06:04Will you marry me?
00:06:09Will you marry me?
00:06:11Allie Bildner, I love you more than anything.
00:06:14You are my soulmate and the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:06:17Will you make me the luckiest man in the world and marry me?
00:06:21Allie? Allie?
00:06:25You're really leaving me to sweat here.
00:06:27And this suit is way too expensive for that.
00:06:30The most eligible bachelor in the country is proposing to me.
00:06:33So why am I thinking about Craig?
00:06:35He was a jerk and a liar, and I need to move on with my life.
00:06:41Of course I'll marry you.
00:06:52This ring must have cost a fortune.
00:06:54You're so lucky.
00:06:56When's the wedding?
00:06:58Ned wants to get married as soon as possible.
00:07:01You know, Allie would love a hot tea.
00:07:06We have a problem.
00:07:08And that is?
00:07:09You're already married to a Craig Brody.
00:07:18He never signed the divorce papers?
00:07:23So you're still married?
00:07:25He was my high school sweetheart.
00:07:28We got married.
00:07:30But it didn't work out.
00:07:32I thought he had signed the divorce papers.
00:07:34You thought?
00:07:35Yes.
00:07:36Allie, the election is in six weeks.
00:07:38This could ruin my campaign.
00:07:40Just imagine the headlines.
00:07:41Senator's fiance, already a wife?
00:07:43I will get him to sign the papers.
00:07:46You better.
00:07:47Or there won't be a future for us, Allie.
00:07:52I gotta take this.
00:07:53It's my campaign manager.
00:07:54But this is important.
00:07:56Yeah, so is this.
00:08:00Clarence.
00:08:01What's going on, buddy?
00:08:02Talk to me.
00:08:04Motherfucker.
00:08:23I never thought I'd hear from you again, honey.
00:08:33Thanks for meeting me here, Trista.
00:08:36So, you really ended it with her.
00:08:39What does it look like?
00:08:41Yeah.
00:08:43She's really gone.
00:08:45Good.
00:08:46So, there's this romantic movie playing at Cinema 6.
00:08:49I thought me and you can go and watch.
00:08:51And we can cuddle.
00:08:53We're not going anywhere together, Trista.
00:08:56My heart still belongs to Allie.
00:08:59And it always will.
00:09:01I don't understand.
00:09:02Sometimes, when you truly love someone,
00:09:07you have to let them go.
00:09:10No matter how much it hurts.
00:09:14Thank you for your help.
00:09:22I hate you, Allie Brody!
00:09:25No!
00:09:30Your call has been forwarded to an automatic...
00:09:34Fine.
00:09:36You want me to come after you, Craig Brody?
00:09:40I will.
00:09:50Leave the bag. I'll be five minutes.
00:09:55Okay.
00:10:11It's been seven years, Craig Brody.
00:10:13And you broke my heart.
00:10:16Somehow, the piece is still beat for you.
00:10:21Allie!
00:10:23What?
00:10:25What are you doing here, Allie?
00:10:27Well, someone never signed the divorce papers,
00:10:30so we're still married.
00:10:32Sign the papers, Craig.
00:10:34I can't sign them.
00:10:36You can't?
00:10:37It's complicated.
00:10:39Then let me make it simple.
00:10:41I'm supposed to get married to,
00:10:43God, the man of my dreams in six weeks.
00:10:46Only, the funny thing is,
00:10:47Only, the funny thing is,
00:10:49my ex-husband never signed the divorce papers.
00:10:52You're engaged.
00:10:54Yes, Craig!
00:10:55Or did you think I would never move on from you?
00:10:57Sign the papers!
00:10:59I can't sign them.
00:11:01Why not?
00:11:02There's something I have to tell you.
00:11:04Mommy!
00:11:12I can't sign them.
00:11:14Why not?
00:11:15Because we have a daughter together,
00:11:18and I never told you.
00:11:24You're finally approved.
00:11:27After all this time.
00:11:30You even remember?
00:11:36We're sorry.
00:11:38You have reached a number that has been disconnected
00:11:40or is no longer in service.
00:11:42Mommy!
00:11:44I'm sorry, but I'm not your mommy.
00:11:48Yes, you are.
00:11:49You are my mommy.
00:11:51Tell her, Daddy.
00:11:52Uh...
00:11:53Uh, Craig?
00:11:54What is she talking about?
00:11:55Natalie, why don't you go grab the nest?
00:11:57Because I said we'd go catch bullfrogs, remember?
00:11:59Okay.
00:12:00Is Mommy coming with us?
00:12:01No, Mommy and Daddy need to have a chat.
00:12:03All right?
00:12:04Okay, Daddy.
00:12:08You want to tell me what the hell is going on?
00:12:11Well...
00:12:15Allie didn't come here to get back together.
00:12:18She came here to divorce me,
00:12:20and I have to let her move on.
00:12:27I tracked you down in the library in New York,
00:12:31and you were there with another guy.
00:12:35You looked happy.
00:12:37You looked free.
00:12:45Well?
00:12:47Um...
00:12:49You know kids.
00:12:51Act of imagination.
00:12:52She thinks every woman who comes on the farm is her mom.
00:12:55All right, listen.
00:12:56Just leave the papers on the counter,
00:12:58and I'll sign them.
00:12:59I have a flight back to New York in three hours,
00:13:01and I am not leaving here without these papers signed.
00:13:03Well, I'm not signing them until I read them over first.
00:13:07Why, Craig?
00:13:09It's not like you have anything that I want.
00:13:11Craig?
00:13:12It's not like you have anything that I want.
00:13:14What do you have that I could possibly want?
00:13:18I'm ready, Daddy.
00:13:20Okay, um...
00:13:21I promise I'll sign them, okay?
00:13:23I know better than to trust your promises, Craig.
00:13:26I got one for you, too, Mommy.
00:13:28Oh, yeah.
00:13:29So, Miss Allie is going back to New York,
00:13:32so it's just gonna be you and me, kiddo.
00:13:34Like always.
00:13:35Okay.
00:13:36I'm sorry.
00:13:37Just leave them in the living room.
00:13:39I'll sign them.
00:13:40Let's go.
00:14:10Oh, no, no!
00:14:13Wait!
00:14:14Oh!
00:14:15Oh!
00:14:16Oh!
00:14:17Oh!
00:14:18Oh!
00:14:19Oh!
00:14:24Oh, no cell service still?
00:14:30Guess I'm walking.
00:14:32Mommy, help!
00:14:33Daddy's hurt.
00:14:36Ow.
00:14:37What happened?
00:14:38Daddy got bit by a big snake.
00:14:40Yeah.
00:14:42Oh.
00:14:43Corporate?
00:14:44Mm-hmm.
00:14:49Daddy!
00:14:52You still remember how to draw out snake venom?
00:14:54Well, I haven't forgotten everything you taught me, Craig Brody.
00:15:02Here, keep the pressure on.
00:15:03Mm-hmm.
00:15:04Okay.
00:15:07Your daddy will be fine.
00:15:08I promise.
00:15:16Hold still.
00:15:19Okay.
00:15:22Keep the pressure on.
00:15:29So, your daughter...
00:15:31Mm-hmm.
00:15:33She looks about...
00:15:35Seven years old.
00:15:39So, she's Trista's?
00:15:40No, she's yours.
00:15:44She's yours.
00:15:46So, if she's not Trista's, how many other women were you sleeping with while we were together?
00:15:52I don't care if you were with the entire town.
00:15:54Just sign the papers, Craig, and we can put the sham of marriage behind us.
00:15:59You've got to be kidding me.
00:16:00Where did they go?
00:16:02Daddy's had this photo in his nightstand for seven years, which means he still loves her.
00:16:08And if they loved each other once, they can love each other again.
00:16:12They just need another chance.
00:16:24Where are the divorce papers?
00:16:26No.
00:16:27Oh.
00:16:33Oh.
00:16:36I will check into the Pequoy Inn for tonight.
00:16:39Oh.
00:16:40And we can look for the divorce papers tomorrow.
00:16:42The Pequoy closed years ago.
00:16:44There was always your father's.
00:16:46That's, um, not an option.
00:16:49The way she said that, it's something happened between her and her father.
00:16:54Well, unless you want to stay outside, I guess you're stuck here.
00:17:03Fine, but I'm not staying in your room.
00:17:07Wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:10You can stay in my room with me and Lucy.
00:17:13There you go.
00:17:23Wow, I love your room.
00:17:25Thanks, my dad helped me decorate it.
00:17:28Okay, look.
00:17:32Oh my god.
00:17:33I know it hasn't been easy, trying to start a family, but one day, the adoption will go through.
00:17:42We're going to have that baby, and you're going to have that baby.
00:17:47You're going to have that baby.
00:17:49You're going to have that baby.
00:17:51You're going to have that baby.
00:17:53You're going to have that baby.
00:17:55You're going to have that baby, and you will be the most amazing.
00:18:26Good night, sweetheart.
00:18:30That logo, it's from the adoption agency.
00:18:35Is Natalie my daughter?
00:18:37That logo, it's from the adoption agency.
00:18:41Is Natalie my daughter?
00:18:49I guess I'm just remembering things wrong.
00:18:55I guess I'm just remembering things wrong.
00:19:25I guess I'm just remembering things wrong.
00:19:41I don't think I haven't seen her before.
00:19:44Daddy?
00:19:45Oh my god.
00:19:50Do you know where McPaley went?
00:19:52No, I haven't seen her.
00:19:54Do you think she left us, Daddy?
00:19:56You know what? Just give me five minutes, and I'll help you look, okay, sweetie?
00:20:01Okay, Daddy.
00:20:06Come on.
00:20:07Oh my god.
00:20:25Craig, I'm engaged to someone else.
00:20:29You're not so married to me.
00:20:34I don't think this could get any messier.
00:20:42I should go.
00:20:55Hey.
00:20:57Hey.
00:20:58So I found the divorce papers.
00:21:03Natalie!
00:21:04I think she wants to keep us married.
00:21:07Would that be such a bad thing?
00:21:14Hello! I brought scones!
00:21:19What the hell are you doing?
00:21:22What the hell are you doing here?
00:21:27Craig and Trista are still together?
00:21:30I mean...
00:21:31Hi, baby.
00:21:32I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
00:21:35What a pleasant surprise.
00:21:37Holly.
00:21:38Hi.
00:21:39Uh, excuse me.
00:21:43What the fuck are you doing here?
00:21:46It's none of your business.
00:21:48Actually, where Craig's concerned, it is.
00:21:51So, you and Craig are still together?
00:21:57We're not going anywhere together, Trista.
00:22:00My heart still belongs to Hallie, and it always will.
00:22:05Still together?
00:22:06Why, of course we're still together.
00:22:08We've been inseparable.
00:22:10Ever since that day at the airport, the day that Craig chose me over you.
00:22:15Don't tell me you've forgotten.
00:22:19How could I?
00:22:21It was the worst day of my life.
00:22:23Oh, sorry to hear that.
00:22:25Because it was a pretty good day for me.
00:22:27I'm sure it was.
00:22:29Listen, if you're here to win Craig back, it's too late.
00:22:32Because I'm pretty sure he's planning on proposing to me.
00:22:35Any day now.
00:22:37So I need you to get your skinny little ass out of my town.
00:22:40Okay?
00:22:41Come here.
00:22:42Let's eat a pastry for the road.
00:22:44I insist.
00:22:49Eat it.
00:22:51Because it's the closest you'll get to tasting Craig's mouth ever again.
00:22:58Oh my god!
00:23:01You New York bitch!
00:23:03Oh my god!
00:23:10You think you can just waltz back in here and pick up where you left off?
00:23:14Craig will always choose me over you.
00:23:19What the hell is going on here?
00:23:22Help! Help! My ankle! My ankle!
00:23:26That crazy bitch!
00:23:29Like I said, he will always choose me over you.
00:23:34Are you okay?
00:23:36Why are you asking her? I'm the one who's injured.
00:23:41All I did was offer her a scone and then she called it dog food and then she kicked me.
00:23:49Poor little thing. You got scone all over you.
00:23:53It's okay Halle. I forgive you.
00:23:55Even if you did break my leg.
00:23:57I didn't touch you.
00:23:59You need to put your petty jealousy aside.
00:24:01Craig divorced you for a reason.
00:24:03And coming back here to diaper him back is just pathetic.
00:24:08Actually, I didn't divorce Halle.
00:24:11She's still my wife.
00:24:13What?
00:24:15Halle is still my wife.
00:24:17Which means you just insulted her in her own house.
00:24:20So please leave Trista.
00:24:23Wait, baby. This is just one big misunderstanding.
00:24:26You heard my daddy. Get out of our house before we call the cops.
00:24:32Oh my god. Ew. What is that disgusting creature?
00:24:35I'm gonna vomit.
00:24:37Good job, Lucy.
00:24:39You know what? I should go.
00:24:41Halle.
00:24:46It was nice meeting you, dad.
00:24:50I'm sorry.
00:24:56Lulu. Call me back.
00:25:00Halle.
00:25:02You know, I never understood why you left me for Trista.
00:25:05Of all people, you knew I couldn't stand her.
00:25:08That's why I did it.
00:25:10Because I knew it would hurt you the most.
00:25:14Seeing her again just reminded me of the worst day of my life.
00:25:18Halle.
00:25:20There's something I need to tell you about Trista.
00:25:25I don't want to talk about Trista anymore, okay?
00:25:27I have to take this.
00:25:29Lulu, can you email me another copy of the divorce papers ASAP?
00:25:32Another copy? What happened to the originals?
00:25:35It's a long story.
00:25:39Can you do it?
00:25:40It's Saturday.
00:25:42City Hall is closed until Monday.
00:25:44You're gonna need a certified copy.
00:25:46I think you're gonna have to stay the weekend there, boss.
00:25:49I hope that's not a big problem.
00:25:52No. Of course not.
00:25:54Well, looks like I am staying until Monday.
00:25:57Until I can get a new copy of the divorce papers.
00:26:00I don't have anything.
00:26:02Not a change of clothes, not even a toothbrush.
00:26:04I just drove you to the store.
00:26:06Okay.
00:26:08Hey, Miss Halle is staying.
00:26:27Stop looking at him like that, Halle.
00:26:30You can't have feelings for him.
00:26:33Even if he is your husband.
00:26:39I can't believe how bad the town looks.
00:26:44When the factory closed, half the stores went with it.
00:26:48Well, at least Martha's Diner is still here.
00:26:50Martha Mae makes the best burgers in the world.
00:26:53Yeah.
00:26:55Remember our crazy dream to fix this place up?
00:26:59Of course I do.
00:27:01So, you probably have a big plan.
00:27:05So, you probably have big plans after graduation.
00:27:10I'm applying to an architecture program in Paris.
00:27:13I doubt I'll get in, though. It's really competitive.
00:27:16Of course you will. I mean, they'd be fools not to take you.
00:27:20You think so?
00:27:22Oh, yeah, I know so.
00:27:24Well, after that, I want to come back here. Fix this town up.
00:27:28I am pretty good with a hammer. I need an assistant.
00:27:32How about a partner?
00:27:35Sounds perfect.
00:27:38Man, I could really go for a burger right now.
00:27:41I have an idea.
00:27:45Where are you taking me, Craig Brody?
00:27:50A picnic. Just like old times.
00:27:54Allow me.
00:27:56Allow me.
00:28:04I hate you, Hallie!
00:28:11Wow, it's just like in high school.
00:28:14Still looks the same, doesn't it?
00:28:16And feels the same.
00:28:19I love you, Hallie Biltner.
00:28:21I want you to know I will never, ever hurt you.
00:28:27I'm so sorry for hurting you, Hallie.
00:28:31Natalie and I were supposed to eat these on our picnic trip.
00:28:37I don't think she'll forgive me.
00:28:41Triangles?
00:28:42Just what you told me.
00:28:44It's Natalie's favorite way to eat them, too.
00:28:47Oh, I have to take this.
00:28:49Hey.
00:28:50Hallie, the press wants to know why we haven't been seen together.
00:28:54They think we broke up.
00:28:56You need to get back here right now.
00:29:01I can't yet.
00:29:03I need to get new divorce papers and City Hall is closed until Monday.
00:29:07New divorce papers? What?
00:29:09Your location says you're at your old high school.
00:29:11What the hell is going on?
00:29:13It's complicated.
00:29:16No, it is not complicated.
00:29:18Okay, look.
00:29:20I am pulling in a favor from the governor.
00:29:22We're going to get those papers expedited and we're going to force that husband of yours into signing them if we have to.
00:29:28I need you on the next flight back in an hour.
00:29:31An hour?
00:29:32Yeah.
00:29:33That's not going to be a problem, is it?
00:29:37Of course not.
00:29:42I have to go.
00:29:46You wouldn't mind taking me to the airport, would you?
00:29:50Of course not.
00:29:58Just sign the papers when you get them, Craig.
00:30:02Okay? It's the least you can do.
00:30:05This is my last chance to tell her the truth.
00:30:09Well, goodbye, I guess.
00:30:13Hallie, I...
00:30:14No, Craig.
00:30:15No, I'm done waiting.
00:30:18It's time for me to move on.
00:30:24Hello?
00:30:26What?
00:30:27Are you sure?
00:30:29Okay, okay.
00:30:32It's my father.
00:30:34He's had a stroke. He's at the community hospital.
00:30:37Come on, I'll drive you.
00:30:41Unless you're getting on that flight.
00:30:43No, no, of course not.
00:30:45Okay, good, good, good. Come on.
00:30:49What's going on?
00:30:51The neighbor found him this morning on the lawn.
00:30:53Hallie, I didn't expect to see you here.
00:30:56Is he going to be okay?
00:30:58We're doing the best we can, but it's difficult considering his condition.
00:31:02His condition?
00:31:04Your father's dying, Hallie, of kidney failure.
00:31:10How long does he have?
00:31:12A couple weeks, maybe a month.
00:31:15I hope you're planning on sticking around this time.
00:31:18Excuse me.
00:31:23I had no idea.
00:31:25You didn't?
00:31:27When's the last time you saw him?
00:31:31Seven years ago.
00:31:38Hallie.
00:31:40Craig's divorcing me.
00:31:42He's been cheating on me.
00:31:44I knew that bastard wasn't good enough for you.
00:31:47But at least you found out before he followed you to Paris.
00:31:50No, I'm not going to Paris. I can't get on that plane.
00:31:54What?
00:31:56Craig was right. I'm not a real architect.
00:31:59Everyone's going to laugh at me.
00:32:01You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:32:03But, Daddy, I...
00:32:05If you come back now, you'll be a laughingstock.
00:32:08You'll be a divorced loser. No one will want you.
00:32:11Not Craig.
00:32:13Not even me.
00:32:16Daddy.
00:32:18You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:32:20I never want to see you again.
00:32:22You are a disgrace.
00:32:33Nobody's ever been so mean to me.
00:32:38Not to you, that is.
00:32:40God, it's like the two of you were in cahoots.
00:32:43Should I tell her that we were?
00:32:47If I tell her the truth, she'll never forgive her dying father.
00:32:52Didn't work out for the best, though.
00:32:54I mean, look at the life you've built for yourself.
00:32:57You deserve more than this small town.
00:33:01You and my father certainly made it easy to leave.
00:33:05What's going on?
00:33:07Power gray has been happening for weeks.
00:33:14Natalie?
00:33:15Daddy.
00:33:17I'm scared.
00:33:19It's dark and there's someone outside.
00:33:21I'll be right there. Keep the doors locked.
00:33:24I have to go.
00:33:25No, I'm coming with you.
00:33:26Hallie, this isn't something that...
00:33:27I'm coming with you.
00:33:28Okay, okay, come on.
00:33:32Natalie?
00:33:34Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
00:33:36Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
00:33:40I was so scared.
00:33:42It's okay. It's okay. You're okay.
00:33:45Must have been raccoons.
00:33:47Broken through the window.
00:33:49Probably those scones, huh?
00:33:51Yeah.
00:33:53I'm so sorry for leaving you alone for so long.
00:33:55No, it's on. It's my fault.
00:33:57No, no, no, no. I was happy to help.
00:34:01I think you missed your flight.
00:34:03So you're saying we can watch a movie together?
00:34:09Yes, we can.
00:34:14Miss Hallie, come closer.
00:34:20Daddy, come closer.
00:34:25Isn't this great? Just the three of us.
00:34:28This blanket always makes my daddy fall asleep.
00:34:58Oh, my God.
00:35:02Oh, my God.
00:35:10I love you, Hallie Brody.
00:35:14Why does this feel so right?
00:35:19He's still my husband.
00:35:21And I know every freckle on his body.
00:35:24But no, I'm divorcing him and marrying someone else.
00:35:33Oh, my God.
00:35:36Oh, my God.
00:35:42Hallie.
00:35:46Mommy and Daddy, I made breakfast.
00:35:55Do you like it? I made pancakes.
00:35:58They are excellent, sweetie.
00:36:01Mm-hmm.
00:36:03This is what families do. They eat breakfast together.
00:36:10What's up?
00:36:16There's some stupid birthday invitation.
00:36:18All the kids from school will be there, but I'm not going.
00:36:21Why not?
00:36:23Because everyone always says if I had a mom, she'd help me pick up better gifts.
00:36:29And they say I'm just a momless loser.
00:36:32You are not a momless loser, Natalie.
00:36:35And don't let anyone make you feel less than you are.
00:36:41I grew up without a mom, too, you know.
00:36:44And it was hard.
00:36:46But I was always able to rely on my dad.
00:36:50Just like you can.
00:36:54And by the way, your dad is worth a thousand mommies.
00:36:59That's true. She checked.
00:37:02So go to that party with your head held high.
00:37:06No one can take your power from you unless you let them.
00:37:12Okay, Miss Hallie, I'll go to the party. Thanks.
00:37:16Okay.
00:37:22Oh, no.
00:37:25Excuse me. I have to take this.
00:37:33I see you got my messages.
00:37:36Delete that photo, Trista.
00:37:38Oh, which one? Because I have plenty.
00:37:43What's the problem?
00:37:45Hallie isn't enough for you, so you have to come back and seduce your husband, too.
00:37:49I didn't come here to get back with Craig, Trista.
00:37:52I came here to divorce him.
00:37:54Really? Then prove it.
00:37:56Walk away now and leave this town for good.
00:37:59Otherwise, these photos will go to the Senator.
00:38:06I could ruin you, Hallie.
00:38:08So don't mess with my life, and I won't mess with yours.
00:38:16Hey. Everything okay?
00:38:19Fine.
00:38:20Who are you talking to?
00:38:22Oh, my fiancé's lawyer.
00:38:25He'll be by with new divorce papers.
00:38:28I have to go.
00:38:30Right now?
00:38:31Yes. I'm sorry, but yes.
00:38:33Can you call me a cab?
00:38:34Hallie.
00:38:35Call me a cab, Craig.
00:38:37Okay.
00:38:40Our plan didn't work, Lucy.
00:38:42Our plan didn't work, Lucy.
00:38:44I guess Mommy isn't in love with Daddy after all.
00:38:56Martha May?
00:38:58Hallie Builder, as I live and breathe!
00:39:01Oh, how are you so skinny?
00:39:03I thought that city of yours had a restaurant on every block.
00:39:06Oh, well, they do, but none of them make a burger as good as you do.
00:39:10Oh, well, that's nice to know I'll be remembered fondly, at least.
00:39:14What? Don't tell me you're shutting down.
00:39:16Yeah. I don't have a choice. Rent's gone up, and I can't afford the place anymore.
00:39:20No. No, there must be something I can do.
00:39:23Mayor Diggle, shut it down.
00:39:26Mayor Diggle.
00:39:31Dirk, I can't believe you're shutting down Martha's Diner.
00:39:34It's a town institution.
00:39:36Is it? Or are you just upset about it because you and your boyfriend Craig used to go there?
00:39:41This isn't high school anymore, Dirk, and this isn't a game.
00:39:45What is it going to take for you to leave the diner alone?
00:39:48Well, you know I've always liked you, so...
00:39:53How about you and me handle this privately?
00:39:56I'll pay you. Twelve months' rent in advance.
00:40:02Listen, you think I want your money?
00:40:04No. I had something more interesting in mind. You.
00:40:07You're disgusting.
00:40:09Listen, Craig was here to save you last time, but he's not here now.
00:40:14Looks like you're all alone, Hallie.
00:40:17Let go of my wife!
00:40:27Well, you two are under arrest for assaulting the mayor.
00:40:33You know the drill. This is just like how I used to arrest you when you was back in high school.
00:40:46Wife, huh?
00:40:48Some habits are hard to break.
00:40:52God, this is so not funny.
00:40:54Ned is running for senator.
00:40:56What will this look like if anyone finds out?
00:40:58And who's going to check a county jail in a nowhere town?
00:41:01I should have never come back here. I should have sent my assistant. I should have hired a lawyer!
00:41:05Then why didn't you?
00:41:08I think you wanted to see me.
00:41:12I think you wanted to see me.
00:41:14In your dreams. I have moved on to bigger and better things.
00:41:18Yeah, I heard about that.
00:41:20That neighborhood you shut down put 6,000 people out of work.
00:41:24And the complex I built brought back 10,000 jobs.
00:41:27Yeah, for Ivy Leaguers and corporate types.
00:41:30What about the blue collars?
00:41:32Hmm?
00:41:33What about the people you came from?
00:41:35I've tried to forget where I came from.
00:41:37Okay, isn't that what you wanted when you told me I don't belong here?
00:41:41I shouldn't have said that.
00:41:42No, you were right.
00:41:43I'm not the same girl you married.
00:41:46I've built a life, a career.
00:41:50I should thank you.
00:41:52Because I couldn't have done it without you.
00:41:54All right, lovebirds.
00:41:56Your bail's been posted.
00:41:58You're free to go.
00:42:00Bail? By who?
00:42:03Hey, Howls.
00:42:07Ned!
00:42:12Hey, Howls.
00:42:13Ned.
00:42:17So, you must be Craig Rohde.
00:42:20The man who couldn't even sign a simple divorce paper.
00:42:24And you must be Ned Vogel.
00:42:26The man who thinks money can solve everything.
00:42:28Yeah, well, my money got you out of jail, didn't it?
00:42:32I didn't ask to be bailed out.
00:42:34Hmm. Well, you can think of it as the government working for you.
00:42:37Well, you can shove your government up your silver spades.
00:42:40Guys, please stop.
00:42:43No, you're right.
00:42:44I'm not here to argue with a man who's holding on to the past.
00:42:50We got the divorce papers expedited.
00:42:52So, you can sign them, Craig.
00:42:56This nonsense has gone on long enough.
00:43:00Can I really divorce Hallie?
00:43:02Without her knowing about her own daughter?
00:43:06Sign the papers.
00:43:09Or we take you to court.
00:43:11But I gotta tell you, my lawyer's a shark.
00:43:14Say something, Hallie.
00:43:17Say something to stop this.
00:43:20Sign the papers, Craig.
00:43:22Craig, let me go.
00:43:25It's the least you can do.
00:43:34Wonderful.
00:43:35We will get these filed at the town hall.
00:43:38And you will be divorced in an hour.
00:43:42This nonsense has gone on long enough.
00:43:44It's time for you to finally move on with your life, Hallie.
00:43:49Well, are you coming?
00:43:53Yes, of course.
00:43:56Bye.
00:44:03That is who she ended up with.
00:44:06I always thought it'd be you.
00:44:09You know, sometimes things don't work out the way we want them to.
00:44:14Hallie, what were you thinking?
00:44:17Jail?
00:44:19Are you trying to ruin my campaign?
00:44:21No. No, this has nothing to do with you.
00:44:25You are gonna be my wife.
00:44:28Everything you do reflects on me.
00:44:32Now, are there any other skeletons I should know about?
00:44:45No.
00:44:47Nothing.
00:44:50This town is just how you described it.
00:44:55Low class, run down, depressing.
00:45:00It isn't that bad.
00:45:02Those were your words, Hallie.
00:45:04What's gotten into you?
00:45:06I don't know.
00:45:07Just being back here.
00:45:11Should I remind you how lucky you are to have gotten out?
00:45:16Last signature, Ms. Builder.
00:45:18And you'll be free and clear to be the wife of a senator.
00:45:30Okay. Let's go.
00:45:37Fair wages, fair pay! We all need to congratulate!
00:45:40Let us through.
00:45:41No one gets in or out today. Town workers on strike.
00:45:45We need to get these filed.
00:45:47We have a flight to catch in 30 minutes.
00:45:49Sorry, we can't do it.
00:45:54There you are, Mommy.
00:45:58Mommy?
00:46:02I knew you wanted to leave without me, Mommy.
00:46:06Mommy? You two have a kid together?
00:46:08No, no, no. Of course not.
00:46:09Natalie, come on. Ms. Hallie has to go.
00:46:12No, no!
00:46:14I'm so sorry.
00:46:15I hate you! I hate both of you!
00:46:20Another reason why I'm glad I don't have kids.
00:46:22Look, we need to get these signed.
00:46:24What's it going to cost me to make it happen?
00:46:27Whoa!
00:46:28Is this a city senate official bribing a city employee?
00:46:35You see, I have my fair share of scandals, but this?
00:46:37This is bad.
00:46:40Hallie, I see you got a fancy new fiancé.
00:46:45What happened to your husband? Is he still locked away in jail?
00:46:48I think he means soon-to-be ex-husband.
00:46:50Ah, looks like your father got what he always wanted.
00:46:54You and Craig finally divorced.
00:46:58What do you mean what my father wanted?
00:47:02What do you mean what my father wanted?
00:47:05Wait a minute. Craig never told you...
00:47:07Fair wages, fair pay!
00:47:08Hey! Keep it down, all right?
00:47:10Or I'll write you up for a noise violation.
00:47:12How about you pay us what we're owed and not waste our tax dollars
00:47:17on fancy new fire trucks and cocktail parties?
00:47:20Mayor Sullivan never would have done anything.
00:47:23All right, listen. Mayor Sullivan is not in charge anymore.
00:47:26I am, all right? So please just keep it down.
00:47:29Fair wages, fair pay!
00:47:31All right, just keep it down!
00:47:32Fair wages, fair pay!
00:47:35I'll sign that paper for you.
00:47:37Yeah, all right, good.
00:47:41Where's the rest of it?
00:47:42What?
00:47:43Well, I can't sign this without a custody agreement.
00:47:45A custody agreement?
00:47:48Sure, this child is just as much Hallie's as she is Craig's.
00:47:54You lied to me.
00:47:55No, no, no, I didn't. No, I swear.
00:47:59How is this even possible?
00:48:01Well, she's adopted.
00:48:02I mean, I did the paperwork myself.
00:48:03You listed this parent number one.
00:48:05Geez, I would have thought he would have told you about it by now.
00:48:08This is not okay.
00:48:10A husband is one thing, but a child?
00:48:12If this gets out, I am sunk, right?
00:48:15A messy custody battle never sits well with voters.
00:48:17Who said anything about a custody agreement?
00:48:20Hallie doesn't even want the kid, right, Hallie?
00:48:22I mean, you barely even know the child.
00:48:24She'll give up custody right now. Where do we sign?
00:48:26It's not that simple.
00:48:27In a case like this, when a child's involved,
00:48:29both parties have to attend a parenting class.
00:48:32Next one starts tomorrow.
00:48:34Tomorrow? I do not have time for this.
00:48:37I have to get back to New York before the press starts asking questions.
00:48:43Go. Go, I'll get this sorted out.
00:48:46Fine. Take care of this child and this marriage quickly and quietly.
00:49:00How come you never told me that Natalie is my daughter?
00:49:06Hallie...
00:49:07No! You were just going to let me divorce you,
00:49:09never knowing that Natalie's my daughter?
00:49:20The adoption went through after you left.
00:49:23You didn't think I deserved to know?
00:49:26You could have called, written, anything!
00:49:29I tried.
00:49:30What?
00:49:34And you were there with another guy.
00:49:36You looked happy, you looked free.
00:49:40Seems you don't need me and Natalie anymore.
00:49:43And that's why you never told me that I had a daughter?
00:49:48You looked like you'd moved on.
00:49:51Moved on?
00:49:53It took me years to move on.
00:49:58And honestly, I don't know if I ever have.
00:50:04Forget it.
00:50:06It doesn't matter now anyway.
00:50:10Here.
00:50:14Parenting class.
00:50:17We need to take it in order to get divorced.
00:50:20Custody.
00:50:22Co-parenting.
00:50:23Legally, Natalie is just as much mine as she is yours.
00:50:27You haven't spent any time with her.
00:50:29You didn't raise her.
00:50:30I know!
00:50:32And whose fault is that?
00:50:35Class is at 8am. Don't be late!
00:50:42I knew Miss Hallie was my mommy!
00:50:45Ugh.
00:50:49Dad?
00:50:54Maya, what's going on?
00:51:03Daddy!
00:51:05He's okay. He's stabilized.
00:51:07Your old man's a fighter, Hallie.
00:51:10And clearly he's fighting to see you again.
00:51:14No fighting to see me.
00:51:16No, if anything, he'd be pissed to know I'm back.
00:51:20My dad hates me.
00:51:21That's not possible. Hallie, he talks about you all the time.
00:51:26He does?
00:51:27Yep. Every Monday and Thursday at dialysis.
00:51:30That's how I know about your fancy job and your fancy boyfriend.
00:51:36None of this makes any sense.
00:51:39Hallie, are you okay?
00:51:40Yeah.
00:51:42Yeah, today's just been a lot.
00:51:46Maya, did you know that Natalie's my daughter?
00:51:54My shift ends in five minutes. Do you want to grab a drink?
00:52:00Craig has never revealed who Natalie's mother was, but he's never been with anyone since you, so we figured-
00:52:06Wait a second.
00:52:08He's never been with anyone since me?
00:52:11No, he left me for Trista. I saw him.
00:52:13Trista? She's been after him for years, sure, but he'd never touch her with a ten-foot pole.
00:52:19I don't understand.
00:52:21Just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:52:24Craig!
00:52:26Oh my god.
00:52:36Excuse me, Maya. I need to get to the bottom of this.
00:52:49Good to see you, Hallie.
00:52:50I know the truth. You were never with Trista.
00:52:54So tell me the truth about everything. Right now.
00:53:03Play me for it.
00:53:05If you win, I'll tell you.
00:53:16Looks like Big City Living has indulged your a-middle.
00:53:19No, if anything, you made me sharper.
00:53:23What?
00:53:28You two are playing like your lives depend on it.
00:53:36Well, kinda do.
00:53:43Oops.
00:53:48If you do that again, I might just have to take you right here on the table.
00:53:53Too bad I'm engaged.
00:53:57What are you playing at, Hallie?
00:53:59I deserve the truth.
00:54:01Why? You came here to divorce me. What good would the truth do?
00:54:06I'll be the one to decide that.
00:54:09Huh.
00:54:21Now.
00:54:23Bust up.
00:54:31You scratched.
00:54:36I win.
00:54:38Thank you, ladies. But I gotta go. I have an early start.
00:54:48Maybe I can find some clues in my father's room.
00:54:54Why didn't my father tell me he was sick? And why won't anyone just tell me the truth?
00:55:03Oh my god.
00:55:09This will always belong to Hallie. And so do my heart.
00:55:14What is this doing here?
00:55:22What was this doing in my father's bedroom?
00:55:24Uh, Hallie.
00:55:25Tell me. Why was this in my father's room?
00:55:30Don't tell me you're about to propose, Hallie.
00:55:33Trista? What are you doing here?
00:55:35Surprise! I'm teaching the course.
00:55:38It's time for the two of you to get divorced.
00:55:42I mean, this is what you both want, right?
00:55:46Of course.
00:55:47Hallie, you are Natalie's mother after all.
00:55:50Yes, but she doesn't know it yet, so please keep this between us.
00:55:54I will always do you a favor, Craig. You know that.
00:55:59Okay. First topic.
00:56:01Okay. First topic.
00:56:03How to explain to your child why you're not together anymore.
00:56:07Uh, simple.
00:56:08Her father is a lying, manipulative jerk who hid the fact that I had a daughter for five years.
00:56:14Not to mention whatever other secrets he's keeping.
00:56:17And what would you have done if I'd come up to you in the library that day?
00:56:20Hallie, be honest. You're starting a new life somewhere else.
00:56:24Because you made me believe there was nothing left for me here.
00:56:27So what are you gonna do? You gonna take Natalie to New York?
00:56:30Maybe.
00:56:32She belongs here.
00:56:34Not in New York with central air and no bear.
00:56:38And I will be damned if I let Ned Vogel be my daughter's stepfather.
00:56:43Jealous, Craig.
00:56:44You know of all the things Ned is, he's never lied to me.
00:56:47Never torn my world apart without so much as an explanation.
00:56:51You want an explanation?
00:56:53Yeah.
00:56:54I'll give you one.
00:56:55I did lie to you that day when I told you that I didn't love you anymore.
00:57:01I'm done.
00:57:04Wait!
00:57:05I knew it! You just came here and you ruined everything like I knew you would!
00:57:09Ruined what exactly?
00:57:11I know the truth, Trista. You and Craig were never together.
00:57:16And that's about to change, sweetie.
00:57:19Once those divorce papers are finalized, Craig will have no choice but to choose me.
00:57:23Besides, Natalie needs a mother.
00:57:26You want to be Natalie's mom.
00:57:28You want to be Natalie's mom.
00:57:30Well, not particularly.
00:57:31But I can pretend.
00:57:33At least until I send her off to boarding school.
00:57:35After all these years, her father and I deserve some alone time.
00:57:39I mean, don't you think?
00:57:41Don't you dare.
00:57:46Go back to New York, Hallie!
00:57:48None of this concerns of you anymore!
00:57:51I think I'll go comfort your husband now.
00:57:54Aww, he looks upset.
00:58:14Let me out! Somebody!
00:58:19I'm so sorry about that.
00:58:20I didn't realize Hallie would try to provoke you like that.
00:58:23Oh, Hallie was right.
00:58:25I should have told her about Natalie.
00:58:27It was unfair.
00:58:28I need to apologize.
00:58:30Do you?
00:58:31Because you and I both know what Hallie would have chosen all those years ago.
00:58:34And it wouldn't have been you and Natalie.
00:58:36I don't, because I never gave her the chance.
00:58:38I did.
00:58:40What?
00:58:41All those years ago, I told her about Natalie.
00:58:45I... I don't understand.
00:58:48I care about you, Craig.
00:58:50And I would never, ever lie to you.
00:58:53I told her that you had a daughter together.
00:58:55And she never even tried to contact you.
00:58:58Did she?
00:59:03I'm so sorry I didn't tell you before, but I was just trying to protect you.
00:59:07She said that the last thing that she wanted was a daughter with you.
00:59:10She said that?
00:59:11Yes.
00:59:12In fact, she said that she didn't want any kids at all.
00:59:15Hallie was born to be a mother.
00:59:17That's all she's ever wanted.
00:59:19Is it?
00:59:21This is from the judge.
00:59:23She's planning on giving up full custody.
00:59:26She's going to New York.
00:59:27She has no interest in fighting for you or Natalie.
00:59:31But I do.
00:59:35I'm sorry.
00:59:37But I do.
00:59:46What are you doing?
00:59:48I'm just trying to help you move on, Craig.
00:59:51Hallie will never choose you, but I will.
00:59:55It's not going to happen, Trista. It's not.
00:59:58Natalie, Natalie needs a mother.
01:00:00You know it and I know it.
01:00:02You need to move on, Craig, and come back to reality.
01:00:05Help me out.
01:00:08Hallie?
01:00:10What did you do to her?
01:00:12Nothing, nothing, nothing.
01:00:13This was a mistake.
01:00:15Having you help me out all those years ago is the biggest regret of my life.
01:00:19It's never going to happen, no matter what happens with me and Hallie.
01:00:30You want to play it like that?
01:00:32So be it.
01:00:36Hi.
01:00:37I'd like to speak to Senator Ned Vogel, please.
01:00:45Are you okay?
01:00:46Don't.
01:00:48Why do you care, Craig?
01:00:50Is everything you tell me a lie?
01:00:52What?
01:00:53I saw you kissing Trista.
01:00:55Don't try and deny it.
01:00:56You told me you loved me.
01:00:59I don't believe a word you say.
01:01:01Hallie, please, please believe me.
01:01:03That was a mistake.
01:01:05The only mistake I ever made was coming back here.
01:01:09I don't know what I thought I'd find.
01:01:12But now I know.
01:01:14I dodged a bullet seven years ago.
01:01:20Hi.
01:01:21I'd like to inform Senator Ned Vogel that his perfect little fiancé is cheating on him with her husband.
01:01:29Don't worry.
01:01:30I have pictures to prove it.
01:01:34No, this isn't a prank phone call.
01:01:37I have proof.
01:01:42What?
01:01:43No, I'm not lying.
01:01:45Hello?
01:01:46Hello?
01:01:49I guess I'll just have to go to the New York Post with this one.
01:01:53You're buried, Hallie.
01:01:57Ned, hi.
01:01:58Hallie, great news.
01:02:00I just got off the phone with my lawyer.
01:02:02He said because you're giving up custody, parenting class is unnecessary.
01:02:06So, you can sign the papers today and you'll be divorced by tomorrow.
01:02:11Tomorrow?
01:02:12Yeah.
01:02:13I already got a schedule for a gala Saturday, a fundraising brunch on Sunday.
01:02:17I can't wait to get you back on my arm in that pretty little black dress of yours.
01:02:22Me either.
01:02:24You don't sound very happy.
01:02:26It's just...
01:02:28What about Natalie?
01:02:29My daughter?
01:02:30What are you gonna do, Hallie?
01:02:31Bring the kid with you to New York?
01:02:33Co-parent with your ex?
01:02:34No.
01:02:36Look, if we want to have a baby, we can have a baby.
01:02:39Together.
01:02:41But I'm not gonna raise someone else's kid, okay?
01:02:43Just sign over the custody and divorce him.
01:02:47Today.
01:02:48There's nothing there for you anymore, Hallie.
01:02:51Not anymore.
01:02:56You're right. There is nothing left for me here.
01:02:59Hallie...
01:03:00I'm giving up custody.
01:03:02And going back to New York.
01:03:05You win, Craig.
01:03:06Win?
01:03:07You never wanted me to be a part of Natalie's life.
01:03:10Or yours.
01:03:13Well, congratulations. You got your wish.
01:03:15Hallie, please just hear me out. That's not the full story.
01:03:18There is nothing yet you can say that will change anything.
01:03:21The damage is done.
01:03:24Let's just sign the papers and end this marriage.
01:03:30Party one agrees to give up full custody.
01:03:33Correct?
01:03:35That's right.
01:03:36Okay, so regarding the parental rights of Natalie Hallie Brody...
01:03:41What? Hallie?
01:03:42Her middle name is Hallie?
01:03:44She's your daughter too.
01:03:47She's your daughter too.
01:03:49Mommy!
01:03:50Oh, come on.
01:03:53She belongs here.
01:03:56I'm not gonna raise someone else's kid.
01:04:00Ma'am?
01:04:02Please sign on the dotted line.
01:04:08It's really over.
01:04:23Now for the divorce papers.
01:04:31Is that it?
01:04:32Yes.
01:04:33Congratulations.
01:04:35In 24 hours, you'll be ex-husband and wife.
01:04:39It was nice being married to you, Hallie Boatner.
01:04:44Wish I could say the same, Craig Brody.
01:04:52Lulu, I'll be back in the city by tonight.
01:04:56Rebook my meetings and...
01:04:57Get me a pedicure appointment.
01:04:59Thank God. I thought you were never coming back.
01:05:02But then I remembered.
01:05:04You're Hallie Boatner.
01:05:05Your work is your life.
01:05:08My life.
01:05:10Right.
01:05:15By the way, did you ever do that favor I asked?
01:05:18Oh, you mean that favor where I went to 50 different toy stores all over the city just for one special kid?
01:05:23Yes, I did.
01:05:25Which, might I ask, who is this special child?
01:05:30My daughter.
01:05:37A Monster Truck 300?
01:05:40This is the best present ever!
01:05:43Who's next?
01:05:45Damn, why don't you get Natalie's present over with?
01:05:48We all need presents.
01:05:49Who's next?
01:05:50Damn, why don't you get Natalie's present over with?
01:05:53We all know it's gonna be the worst.
01:05:56Here it is! Look how tiny it is!
01:05:59Catch!
01:06:04It's probably a gum wrapper.
01:06:06We're happy to nap with her.
01:06:08She's so poor she probably can't afford anything else.
01:06:13Guys, be nice.
01:06:15At least if it's not a tree branch like last time.
01:06:19It was a walking stick and my dad made it.
01:06:22That's right, your dad! Because where's your mom again? That's right, nowhere!
01:06:30Oops, hope it wasn't fragile.
01:06:37It's a friendship bracelet.
01:06:40Friendship? We're not friends.
01:06:43That's so sad.
01:06:45I can't believe you actually invited this freak to your party.
01:06:49My mom forced me to.
01:06:51If you had a mom, she'd help you pick out a real present, not this dumb piece of string.
01:06:57I do have a mom.
01:06:59Then where is she?
01:07:01She lives in New York and she's a powerful CEO.
01:07:04Why do you make up a story like that?
01:07:06If your mom was a powerful CEO, she would give you better gifts than this!
01:07:13Momless loser!
01:07:15Momless loser!
01:07:17Momless loser!
01:07:19Momless loser!
01:07:21Momless loser!
01:07:23Momless loser!
01:07:25Momless loser!
01:07:27Nobody can take your power away from you except you. Don't ever forget that.
01:07:33You were wrong, Mommy, and you left me.
01:07:36You know what? Forget this!
01:07:39Hi, I have a delivery for Sam Baker.
01:07:42That's me!
01:07:45These must be for my uncle. He's super rich!
01:07:50Where do you think you're going?
01:07:52I never should have come. I'm getting out of here.
01:07:55Actually, you're going to stay here and watch what real presents look like.
01:08:00What?
01:08:01I'm getting out of here.
01:08:03Actually, you're going to stay here and watch what real presents look like.
01:08:08Yeah, and maybe next time you'll come up with something better than a stupid piece of string.
01:08:13A pickleball racket?
01:08:15Nintendo Switch?
01:08:17A pilgrim bar kit?
01:08:19An e-scooter?
01:08:21A monster truck 400?
01:08:24These must cost a fortune!
01:08:26Uncle Rick is the best!
01:08:29Actually, these gifts are from Natalie's mom.
01:08:36My mommy! She does love me!
01:08:39Wait! This has to be a prank! Natalie is just lying about her mom! She's a real!
01:08:45Well, someone very real signed for these purchase orders herself. All $15,000 worth of them.
01:08:50$15,000?!
01:08:52How rich is she?!
01:08:54Like I said, she's a powerful CEO in New York, and she's too busy to care what you small-town losers think.
01:09:02No wait, no! Where are you going? It's okay, you can sit next to me.
01:09:07No! Sit next to me!
01:09:09I want to be friends with you if you pay me.
01:09:12Enjoy the presents, loser.
01:09:16And your cake is dry, by the way.
01:09:24Daddy.
01:09:27I don't know if you can hear me, but I wanted you to know I'm going back to New York. Okay?
01:09:35You were right about Craig.
01:09:37He's a liar and a cheat.
01:09:41But the man I'm about to marry?
01:09:44He's rich, handsome, successful.
01:09:50Exactly. The kind of man you would want for me.
01:09:55I'll miss you, okay?
01:10:00You're running towards something. Back to your life. Go! Your father's in good hands. I promise.
01:10:08Would you look after Natalie for me?
01:10:10Of course.
01:10:20Hi.
01:10:22Infamous Building. First class is to the left.
01:10:25Thank you so much.
01:10:27Mommy!
01:10:29Natalie! What are you doing here?
01:10:32I'm coming with you to New York.
01:10:36Natalie, it's not that simple.
01:10:40Look, your father and I, we got divorced.
01:10:44But that doesn't mean I'm going back to New York.
01:10:46We got divorced.
01:10:48But that doesn't mean you can't still be my mommy.
01:10:51Actually, it does. Look, you belong here. With your father.
01:10:57So do you, Mommy. I know you do and so does Daddy.
01:11:00Wait, what?
01:11:02Daddy sometimes talks in his sleep. He's always saying sorry to you and how much he loves you.
01:11:08This will always belong to Hallie. And so will my heart.
01:11:13What is this doing here?
01:11:15Whatever he did, I think he feels really bad about it.
01:11:19And I think he's still in love with you.
01:11:22Ma'am, the boarding is closing. Are you coming?
01:11:26Yes, we're coming.
01:11:29I'm sorry, sweetie. I can't let you fly. Not without a ticket.
01:11:32I'm sorry, sweetie. I can't let you fly. Not without a ticket.
01:11:37Ma'am, you'll need to choose. Are you staying here with her or are you flying to New York?
01:11:41We're closing the doors in one minute.
01:11:46The flight departs in one minute.
01:11:52Come on, Natalie. I'll take you home.
01:11:55Oh, my God. Where'd you find her?
01:11:59She was at the airport.
01:12:01Airport?
01:12:03I wanted to go to New York City with Mommy.
01:12:06She knows.
01:12:08I cried.
01:12:11Natalie, can you give us a minute?
01:12:14Okay, Daddy.
01:12:16Thank you for bringing her back.
01:12:19Of course.
01:12:20But before I go, I have a favor to ask.
01:12:24Anything.
01:12:26Find Natalie a mother.
01:12:28Just make sure it's not Trista. Okay?
01:12:34Okay.
01:12:37Bye.
01:12:50Bye.
01:13:06After all these years, he never gave up on us.
01:13:10After all these years, he never gave up on us.
01:13:15You probably could have come up with something better.
01:13:18No, it's perfect.
01:13:23How long have you been working on this?
01:13:26A few years now.
01:13:29Ever since I left?
01:13:32Maybe.
01:13:35But why?
01:13:38I couldn't let our dream die just because our parents died.
01:13:42I couldn't let our dream die just because our marriage did.
01:13:46That crazy dream?
01:13:49Doesn't look so crazy anymore, does it?
01:13:52No, it doesn't.
01:13:54Natalie, not a day goes by where I don't think about you.
01:14:00And I know, I know you won't believe a word I say, but I thought maybe you'd believe something you could see.
01:14:12Is that us?
01:14:15Yeah, it is.
01:14:23I love you.
01:14:25And I never stopped.
01:14:42I've missed this for so long.
01:14:46I've wanted this for so long.
01:14:49No.
01:14:51No, we have to stop.
01:14:54But the papers are signed, Craig.
01:14:57I'm engaged to someone else.
01:14:59And it's too late to turn the clock back now.
01:15:04Send me a picture when the town's rebuilt, okay?
01:15:06That's the thing, it won't be.
01:15:10What? What do you mean?
01:15:12I got this in the mail today.
01:15:15My plans were approved, but Dirk Diggle bought off all the local contractors and I can't afford anyone else, so I'm going to have to resend my offer.
01:15:25No, you can't do that.
01:15:27I have to. I don't have a choice.
01:15:30What if I said I could help?
01:15:34I could help.
01:15:38I could help.
01:15:41Go back to New York, Allie.
01:15:44Don't worry about someone's tiny little dream in a nowhere town.
01:15:50This was our dream, Craig.
01:15:55Besides, you helped me out with Dirk Diggle once.
01:16:00She said she's not interested, bro!
01:16:03Now let me help you.
01:16:15Lulu!
01:16:17Change of plans.
01:16:19Send all of our best contractors to Franklin, Tennessee.
01:16:22Also, cancel my pedicure appointment.
01:16:30Have you come to withdraw your application, Craig?
01:16:33You couldn't afford it.
01:16:35Actually, I just came to give you the deposit.
01:16:38We break ground tomorrow.
01:16:41We?
01:16:43We said we would fix this town up.
01:16:45And that is exactly what we're going to do.
01:16:52I never thought I'd see the day where our dream became a reality.
01:16:56It was always your dream.
01:16:58I was just happy to help.
01:17:00Lulu!
01:17:02Oh my god!
01:17:04Wow, boss.
01:17:06No wonder you never came back.
01:17:08You never told me your husband was a stone-cold hottie.
01:17:11Ex-husband.
01:17:13Right.
01:17:17Allie.
01:17:19Ned? Hi.
01:17:22What are you doing here? I told you I would be back next week.
01:17:25You want to tell me what the meaning of this is?
01:17:28You told me there was nothing going on between you two.
01:17:31Are you trying to embarrass me on a national stage?
01:17:34No, um, no.
01:17:36Ned, I am so sorry.
01:17:38Is your campaign okay?
01:17:40It's fine, for now.
01:17:42Luckily, this is just a mock-up.
01:17:44Post gave it to us before going to press.
01:17:47Get in.
01:17:49I am taking you home.
01:17:51Ned, I told you I would be back next week.
01:17:55Ned, I told you this project is important.
01:17:59Allie, you build multi-billion dollar skyscrapers.
01:18:02Not whatever this is.
01:18:05This matters.
01:18:07A sad little shopping mall in a sad little town?
01:18:10Come on, Allie.
01:18:12You're better than this.
01:18:14What's that supposed to mean?
01:18:16Being back here has you confused.
01:18:19You don't know what you want.
01:18:21You don't know who you really are anymore.
01:18:22But this is your past.
01:18:26I am your future.
01:18:28Remember?
01:18:30You still want to marry me?
01:18:33Even after that?
01:18:35Yes.
01:18:37In fact, I want to move the wedding up.
01:18:39Let's get married right now.
01:18:42Let's get married right now.
01:18:45Right now?
01:18:47Um...
01:18:49Excuse me.
01:18:51Look.
01:18:53Hey.
01:18:55Seeing these photos, it made me realize how much you mean to me.
01:18:59I can't lose you, Allie.
01:19:01I don't want to lose you.
01:19:03Please.
01:19:05Marry me.
01:19:08You're going to marry her?
01:19:11She was cheating on you.
01:19:14Who are you?
01:19:16I'm the woman that took these photos.
01:19:19So, you admit to sabotaging a political campaign.
01:19:22What?
01:19:24No.
01:19:26Ma'am, you're lucky the senator doesn't press charges.
01:19:28Come with me.
01:19:30What? No, no, no.
01:19:32You will not win this one, Allie.
01:19:34No, don't touch me.
01:19:36Ned, this all just feels a little fast.
01:19:40Yeah, but is it, Allie?
01:19:42What are we waiting for?
01:19:45What are we waiting for?
01:19:49I don't know.
01:19:51Quit fucking around and marry me already.
01:19:54What's the rush, Ned?
01:19:56The Post agreed to kill the cheating story if we give them something better.
01:20:01Something like?
01:20:03A wedding, for example.
01:20:05You want to marry me for a story?
01:20:09Come on, Allie.
01:20:11We're going to get married anyway.
01:20:13What difference does it make?
01:20:15Was this whole thing just a publicity stunt?
01:20:18Our engagement?
01:20:20Our relationship?
01:20:22No, of course not. I love you.
01:20:25Then what's my favorite color, Ned?
01:20:28Oh, come on, Allie.
01:20:30My favorite flower?
01:20:34My favorite flower?
01:20:36I don't know. Roses? Does it even matter?
01:20:39Yes, it does.
01:20:42I'm sorry, Ned, but I can't marry you.
01:20:46Yes, you can.
01:20:48Because if you don't, I can make your life very difficult.
01:20:53Starting with those big city contracts you just won.
01:20:56I spent years of blood, sweat and tears to get those contracts.
01:21:00And once I'm elected, I can make them all go poof.
01:21:03I have friends in very high places, Allie.
01:21:07No, you wouldn't dare. I worked my entire career for those.
01:21:11Well, then the answer is simple.
01:21:13Marry me.
01:21:14Marry me?
01:21:16We'll lose everything.
01:21:18Come on, Allie. This is not a difficult choice.
01:21:22You're hurting me.
01:21:24If you think this is pain, you haven't felt anything yet.
01:21:26Get off!
01:21:28Neither have you.
01:21:39My suit!
01:21:41My jaw!
01:21:42And you broke my face!
01:21:44Very good.
01:21:46Looks better that way, in my opinion.
01:21:48I'll have you arrested for assaulting a government official.
01:21:51There isn't a cop who will side with you over me.
01:21:54Not in this town.
01:21:56And by the way, her favorite color is blue.
01:22:00And her favorite flower is the marigold.
01:22:03Because it blooms from spring to fall.
01:22:05There you go.
01:22:07I hope that suit wasn't too expensive.
01:22:09This suit is worth more than you make in a year.
01:22:13Isn't that something?
01:22:15It's time for you to leave, Senator.
01:22:17Come on, Allie.
01:22:19You're not going to give up everything just for some pathetic small-town nobody.
01:22:23Yeah, he may be from a small town.
01:22:26But he is not a nobody.
01:22:29In fact, if I had to choose a son-in-law, I'd pick him over you any day of the week.
01:22:35Daddy!
01:22:36Daddy!
01:22:38Allie, I am so sorry for everything.
01:22:41Starting with meddling in your marriage.
01:22:44Meddling?
01:22:46I'm the one that made Craig divorce you.
01:22:49I told him if he really loved you, he'd let you go.
01:22:52He did.
01:22:56I thought you deserved more than a small town.
01:22:59More than a local boy like him.
01:23:02She does, sir.
01:23:04Come on, Allie.
01:23:06He divorced you.
01:23:08He gave up a daughter for you.
01:23:10So what if I want to marry you for a story?
01:23:13People get married for worse reasons.
01:23:15And they get divorced for better ones.
01:23:18I don't care what you think, old man.
01:23:20Allie, you're coming with me.
01:23:22You stay away from my daughter.
01:23:24Allie, I am not leaving.
01:23:26You owe it to me to go through with this wedding.
01:23:29I've had about enough of people telling me who I should and shouldn't marry.
01:23:32Get out of here, Ned.
01:23:34It's over between us.
01:23:40Get out of here, Ned.
01:23:42It's over between us.
01:23:45Fine.
01:23:47But I hope you know what you're giving up, Allie.
01:23:51I most certainly do.
01:23:58It was too big anymore.
01:24:00It was too big anyway.
01:24:03Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:24:06What about me?
01:24:08I'll marry you.
01:24:10I'm sure the post would love to see me in a wedding gown.
01:24:13And I would look way better than Allie ever would.
01:24:16Not in a million years.
01:24:18Oh, my gosh.
01:24:20Ew.
01:24:22Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew.
01:24:24Oh, my gosh.
01:24:26I can't see me like this.
01:24:28Oh, my God.
01:24:31I owe you both an apology for trying to play God.
01:24:35Daddy.
01:24:36Hear me out.
01:24:38When I was in the hospital, I hooked up to all those machines.
01:24:41I just, I kept having the same wonderful dream.
01:24:45This dream where you were still together.
01:24:48This dream where you were both living the life you deserve.
01:24:52I took that future and that life away from you.
01:24:57Allie, Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:25:02Allie, Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:25:06How?
01:25:08This should be enough for me.
01:25:10I want her on that plane alone.
01:25:13Whatever it takes.
01:25:16I tried to pay him off.
01:25:20And this is what he did with the money.
01:25:23I've never seen someone work so hard for love.
01:25:27Is this true, Craig?
01:25:32Why didn't you just tell me?
01:25:34Because I didn't want you to hate your father.
01:25:36Or blame him when you just thought he was doing what was right.
01:25:41You were protecting me.
01:25:43That's right.
01:25:45You two are the only family you have left.
01:25:49Unless...
01:25:53You want me to be a part of your family again?
01:25:57Now I know this ring isn't exactly as big as your old one.
01:26:04But it can make me the happiest man in the world if you would marry me again.
01:26:09Yeah?
01:26:11Yes, Craig, I'll marry you.
01:26:13Oh, perfect.
01:26:20It always was.
01:26:23Mommy, Daddy, I knew you'd come back together.
01:26:25Oh, she did.
01:26:27Come on, up we go.
01:26:29Dale, that wasn't such a crazy dream.
01:26:32I'd like you to meet your granddaughter, Natalie Halle Brody.
01:26:36My dream came true.
01:26:38Hi, Grandpa.
01:26:40Halle, this is crazy, but if we run, we can make it to the town clerk before it closes.
01:26:46I do not want to be divorced from you one second longer.
01:26:49Me either.
01:26:50Yeah?
01:26:51Yeah.
01:26:52Okay, what do we think?
01:26:53Who's up for a wedding?
01:26:55Yeah?
01:26:56Yeah?
01:26:58Yeah?
01:27:02Hi.
01:27:04We would like to get remarried.
01:27:07I can't accept your remarriage.
01:27:10That's ridiculous.
01:27:12What? Why?
01:27:14I can't accept your remarriage.
01:27:16That's ridiculous.
01:27:18What? Why?
01:27:20Because you were never really divorced in the first place.
01:27:23Look right here.
01:27:24You signed your name Halle Bildner.
01:27:27But your name is, and always has been, Halle Brody.
01:27:31Will you look at that?
01:27:34Wait, so, um, that means the custody papers?
01:27:38Well, that's, uh, that's void.
01:27:43So you're still Natalie's parent.
01:27:47Mommy!
01:27:52Daddy.
01:27:54I forgive you.
01:28:12I've got seven years to make up for it.
01:28:25I just want to thank you all for your faith in me.
01:28:29And as your new mayor, I promise to work tirelessly to bring this town back to what it once was.
01:28:36Starting with the community center that Craig and Halle so generously built.
01:28:45We love you, Mayor Martha.
01:28:47Love you.
01:28:55Who do you think we talked to?
01:29:01Looks like they found a story to replace me with after all.
01:29:10Is there really going to be a rape, dear?
01:29:13Yes. We're going to be one big happy family.
