Transcript
00:00:00Hey!
00:00:01How many can get your head out of these architecture books, Holly, and finally go out with me?
00:00:16Never in a million years, Dirk Diggle.
00:00:19I want your book back.
00:00:21Why don't you come and get it?
00:00:24Come on.

00:00:31Ow!

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