00:00:19I want your book back.

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