00:00:37Ow!

00:00:46Oh, you always gotta play the hero, huh?
00:00:48Yeah, go ahead.
00:00:49You're one demerit away from getting thrown out of this school.
00:00:52You want your book back so bad?
00:00:54Alright.
00:00:55You take it.
00:00:58No, 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. I've seen you in class. You are brilliant.
00:01:20I'm gonna get way more use out of this than I ever would.
00:01:32You wanna...
00:01:34Grab lunch?
00:01:36Or...
00:01:37Keep studying?
00:01:38Um...
00:01:39Yeah.
00:01:40Yeah.
00:01:41Yeah.
00:01:42Grab lunch.
00:01:43We're doing great.
00:01:50When did you two get back from the honeymoon?
00:01:52Just an hour ago.
00:01:53And...
00:01:54This 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!
00:02:02Huh.
00:02:03And...
00:02:04When we get back...
00:02:05We're gonna rebuild this town.
00:02:08Together.
00:02:10This town is dying.
00:02:11And I want my daughter as far away from it as possible.
00:02:13Uh...
00:02:14But...
00:02:15Sir...
00:02:16We have a plan.
00:02:17We even applied to adopt a child.
00:02:19Even more reason to end this now before you keep her trapped here forever.
00:02:23I promised Hallie's mother before she passed away that I would take care of our daughter.
00:02:38She deserves more than this two bit town and quite frankly, she deserves more than you.
00:02:44But, sir, I love her more than anything.
00:02:48I promise.
00:02:49I will always take care of her.
00:02:52And you think that's important?
00:02:54She's going to be a world-class architect.
00:02:59You, you're...
00:03:00You'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!
00:03:08Deep down, you know I'm right.
00:03:11Here.
00:03:16This should be enough.
00:03:18I 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 at Paris and my new husband is coming with me.
00:03:41Actually, I'm not coming with you, Hallie.
00:03:46What? 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 and it's going to be too pathetic for me to watch.
00:04:00Um, 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, Hallie.
00:04:14I want a divorce.
00:04:15No, 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?
00:04:30Craig, no! What?
00:04:31What?
00:04:35I thought you believed in me!
00:04:38Ma'am, boarding is closing. Are 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.
00:04:51Miss Filtner! Miss Filtner, you were just recognized as Time Magazine's top CEO to watch,
00:05:04and your company is taking the New York architecture scene by storm.
00:05:07What's next for you?
00:05:09Um, I don't know. Taking over the world?
00:05:12Well, you and your boyfriend, billionaire politician Ned Vogel, are quite the power couple.
00:05:17He 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 Filtner!
00:05:41Oh, my God.
00:05:43Allie Bildner.
00:05:44You are the most impressive woman I have ever met.
00:05:52You are my soulmate.
00:05:54You are my soulmate.
00:06:06Will you marry me?
00:06:11Will you marry me?
00:06:13How are you both here? I love you more than anything.
00:06:15You are my soulmate and the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:06:19Will you make me the luckiest man in the world and marry me?
00:06:22Allie? Allie?
00:06:25You're really leaving me to sweat here.
00:06:28And this suit is way too expensive for that.
00:06:31The most eligible bachelor in the country is proposing to me.
00:06:34So why 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.
00:06:52This ring must have cost a fortune.
00:06:56You're so lucky.
00:06:58When's the wedding?
00:07:00Ned wants to get married as soon as possible.
00:07:02Oh, you know, Hallie would love a hot tea.
00:07:08We 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.
00:07:30Got 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.
00:07:37Hallie, 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.
00:07:47You better.
00:07:48Or there won't be a future for us, Hallie.
00:07:50I gotta take this.
00:07:53It'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.
00:08:08Motherfucker.
00:08:20I never thought I'd hear from you again, Hallie.
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 Hallie.
00:09:00And it always will.
00:09:02I don't understand.
00:09:04Sometimes, when you truly love someone,
00:09:09you have to let them go.
00:09:11No matter how much it hurts.
00:09:12Thank you for your help.
00:09:13I hate you, Hallie, Brody!
00:09:25Hallie, Brody!
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.
00:09:43Leave the bag.
00:09:44I'll be five minutes.
00:09:52Leave the bag.
00:09:53I'll be five minutes.
00:09:54It's been seven years, Craig Brody, and you broke my heart.
00:10:16Somehow, the pieces still beat for you.
00:10:19Hallie!
00:10:20What are you doing here, Hallie?
00:10:21Well, someone never signed the divorce papers, so we're still married.
00:10:35Sign the papers, Craig.
00:10:37I can't sign them.
00:10:39You can't.
00:10:41It's complicated.
00:10:43Then 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.
00:10:53You're engaged.
00:10:55Yes, Craig!
00:10:57Or did you think I would never move on from you?
00:10:59Sign the papers!
00:11:01I can't sign them.
00:11:03Why not?
00:11:05There's something I have to tell you.
00:11:07Mommy!
00:11:08Ah!
00:11:13I can't sign them.
00:11:15Why not?
00:11:17Because 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?
00:11:32You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:11:43Mommy!
00:11:45I'm sorry, but I'm not your mommy.
00:11:49Yes, you are.
00:11:51You are my mommy.
00:11:52Tell her, Daddy.
00:11:54Craig, what is she talking about?
00:11:56Natalie, 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?
00:12:02No, mommy and daddy need to have a chat.
00:12:04All right?
00:12:05Okay, Daddy.
00:12:09You want to tell me what the hell is going on?
00:12:12Well...
00:12:17Allie didn't come here to get back together.
00:12:20She came here to divorce me.
00:12:22And I have to let her move on.
00:12:23I tracked you down in the library in New York and you were there with another guy.
00:12:36You looked happy. You looked free.
00:12:39Well?
00:12:40Um...
00:12:41You...
00:12:42You know kids.
00:12:43Active imagination.
00:12:44She thinks every woman who comes on the farm is her mom.
00:12:47All right, listen, just... just leave the papers on the counter and I'll sign them.
00:12:50I have a flight back to New York in three hours and I am not leaving here without these papers signed.
00:12:51Well, I'm not signing them until I read them over first.
00:12:53Why, Craig? It's not like you have anything that I want.
00:12:55What do you have that I could possibly want?
00:12:56I'm ready, Daddy.
00:12:57Okay. Um...
00:12:59I promise I'll sign them. Okay?
00:13:00I know better than to trust your promise.
00:13:03Okay, so I will do this for a couple of minutes.
00:13:05Why?
00:13:07I'm ready, Daddy.
00:13:09I promise that I'll sign them.
00:13:12Okay?
00:13:13I know better than to trust your promise.
00:13:14How do you have anything that I want?
00:13:16How do you have that I could possibly want?
00:13:19I'm ready, Daddy.
00:13:21Okay...
00:13:22Um...
00:13:23I promise I'll sign them.
00:13:24I know better than to trust your promises, Greg.

00:20:45Hey.
00:20:46So I found the divorce papers.
00:20:51Natalie!
00:20:52I think she wants to keep us married.
00:20:56Would that be such a bad thing?
00:20:57Hello!
00:20:58I brought scones!
00:20:59What the hell are you doing here?
00:21:01What the hell are you doing here?
00:21:02Craig and Trista are still together?
00:21:08I mean, hi, baby.
00:21:09I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
00:21:13Hello, I brought scones!
00:21:23What the hell are you doing here?
00:21:28Craig and Trista are still together?
00:21:31I mean, hi baby.
00:21:33I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
00:21:36What a pleasant surprise, Holly.
00:21:39Bye.
00:21:39Uh, excuse me.
00:21:43What 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.
00:22:10We'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's 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 Midtown.
00:22:41Okay?
00:22:42Come here.
00:22:43Take a pastry for the bread.
00:22:45I insist.
00:22:50Eat it.
00:22:51Oh my God.
00:22:52Because it's the closest you'll get to tasting Craig's mouth ever again.
00:22:56You New York bitch!
00:23:04Oh my God!
00:23:07Oh my...
00:23:09You think you can just waltz back in here and pick up where you left off?
00:23:14Craig will always choose me over you.
00:23:17What the hell is going on?
00:23:23Help!
00:23:24Help!
00:23:24My ankle!
00:23:25My ankle!
00:23:27That crazy bitch!
00:23:30Like I said, he will always choose me over you.
00:23:34Are you okay?
00:23:36Why are you asking her?
00:23:38I'm the one who's injured.
00:23:42All I did was offer her a scone and then she called it dog food and then she kicked me.
00:23:47Oh, poor little thing.
00:23:51You got, you got scone all over you.
00:23:53It's okay, Hallie.
00:23:54I forgive you.
00:23:55Even if you did break my leg.
00:23:57I didn't touch you.
00:23:59I need to put your petty jealousy aside.
00:24:01Craig divorced you for a reason.
00:24:04Are you coming back here?
00:24:05To beg for him back is just...
00:24:08A headache.
00:24:09Actually, I didn't divorce Hallie.
00:24:11She's still my wife.
00:24:14What?
00:24:14Hallie is still my wife.
00:24:19Which means you just insulted her in her own house.
00:24:21So please leave Trista.
00:24:24Wait, baby.
00:24:25This 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.
00:24:34Ew.
00:24:34What is that disgusting creature?
00:24:37I'm gonna vomit.
00:24:38Good job, Lucy.
00:24:41You know what?
00:24:41I should go.
00:24:42Hallie.
00:24:47It was nice meeting you, Hallie.
00:24:51I'm sorry.
00:24:51Lulu.
00:24:58Call me back.
00:25:01Hallie.
00:25:03No, I never understood why you left me for Trista.
00:25:06Of all people, you knew I couldn't stand her.
00:25:09That's why I didn't.
00:25:11Because I knew it would hurt you the most.
00:25:13God, seeing her again, it just reminded me of the worst day of my life.
00:25:19Hallie, there's something I need to tell you about Trista.
00:25:26I don't want to talk about Trista anymore, okay?
00:25:28I have to take this.
00:25:30Lulu, can you email me another copy of the divorce papers ASAP?
00:25:33Another copy?
00:25:34What happened to the originals?
00:25:36It's a long story.
00:25:40Can you do it?
00:25:41It's Saturday.
00:25:43City Hall's closed until Monday.
00:25:45You're gonna need a certified copy.
00:25:47I think you're gonna have to stay the weekend there, boss.
00:25:49I hope that's not a big problem.
00:25:53No, of course not.
00:25:55Well, looks like I am staying until Monday.
00:25:58I'd like to get a new copy of the divorce papers.
00:26:00I don't have anything.
00:26:02Not a change of clothes, not even a toothbrush.
00:26:04Can you just drive them to the store?
00:26:07Okay.
00:26:07Okay.
00:26:08Hey, Miss Hallie is staying.
00:26:28Stop looking at him like that, Hallie.
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.
00:26:47When the factory closed, half the stores went with it.
00:26:52Well, at least Martha's Diner's still here.
00:26:54Martha May makes the best burgers in the world.
00:26:58Yeah.
00:26:59Remember our crazy dream?
00:27:02You know, fix this place up?
00:27:04Of course I do.
00:27:04So, you probably have big plans after graduation.
00:27:10I'm applying to an architecture program in Paris.
00:27:14I doubt I'll get it, though.
00:27:15It's really competitive.
00:27:17Of course you will.
00:27:18I mean, they'd be fools not to take you.
00:27:21You think so?
00:27:22Oh, yeah.
00:27:23I know so.
00:27:25Well, after that, I want to come back here.
00:27:27It takes this town up.
00:27:28Well, I am a pretty good glamour.
00:27:31I need an assistant.
00:27:32How about a partner?
00:27:34Oh.
00:27:38Sounds perfect.
00:27:40Man, I could really go for a burger right now.
00:27:44I have an idea.
00:27:47Where are you taking me, Craig Brody?
00:27:52A picnic.
00:27:54Just like old times.
00:27:56Allow me.
00:27:58I hate you, Hallie.
00:28:11Wow, it's just like in high school.
00:28:14Still looks the same, doesn't it?
00:28:17And feels the same.
00:28:20I love you, Hallie Bildner.
00:28:21I want you to know I will never, ever hurt you.
00:28:26I'm so sorry for hurting you, Hallie.
00:28:32Natalie?
00:28:33And I were supposed to eat these on our fishing trip.
00:28:37You?
00:28:37I don't think she'll forgive me.
00:28:42Triangles?
00:28:43Just the way you tell me.
00:28:44It's Natalie's favorite way to eat them, too.
00:28:46Oh, I have to take this.
00:28:50Hey.
00:28:50Hallie.
00:28:52The press wants to know why we haven't been seen together.
00:28:55They think we broke up.
00:28:56You need to get back here right now.
00:29:02I...
00:29:02I can't yet.
00:29:04I need to get new divorce papers in city halls.
00:29:06Closed until Monday.
00:29:07New divorce papers?
00:29:09What?
00:29:09Your location says you're at your old high school.
00:29:12What the hell is going on?
00:29:14It's...
00:29:15Complicated.
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,
00:29:25and we are 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.
00:29:32In a hour?
00:29:33Yeah.
00:29:34That's not going to be a problem, is it?
00:29:35Uh, of course not.
00:29:43Um, I have to go.
00:29:46So, you wouldn't mind taking me to the airport, would you?
00:29:50Of course not.
00:29:59Just sign the papers when you get them, Craig.
00:30:02Okay?
00:30:03It's the least you can do.
00:30:05This is my last chance to tell her the truth.
00:30:09Well...
00:30:10Goodbye.
00:30:13I guess.
00:30:13How are you?
00:30:14I...
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?
00:30:28Okay.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:31Um...
00:30:31Um, it's my father.
00:30:34He's had a stroke.
00:30:35He's at the community hospital.
00:30:37Oh, come on.
00:30:37I'll drive you.
00:30:41Unless you're getting on that flight.
00:30:43No.
00:30:44Um...
00:30:44No, of course not.
00:30:45Okay.
00:30:45Good, good, good.
00:30:46Come on.
00:30:49What's going on?
00:30:51The neighbor found him this morning on the lawn.
00:30:54Allie!
00:30:54I 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 is dying, Allie, of kidney failure.
00:31:10How long does he have?
00:31:12A couple weeks.
00:31:14Maybe a month.
00:31:15I hope we're planning on sticking around this time.
00:31:19Excuse me.
00:31:19I had no idea.
00:31:26You didn't?
00:31:27When's the last time you saw him?
00:31:31Seven years ago.
00:31:39Allie.
00:31:39Craig'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.
00:31:57I'm not...
00:31:58I'm not a real architect.
00:32:00Everyone's going to laugh at me.
00:32:01You get on that plane, Allie.
00:32:03But, Daddy, I...
00:32:05If you come back now, you'll be a laughingstock.
00:32:07You'll be a divorced loser.
00:32:09No one will want you.
00:32:11Not Craig.
00:32:13Not even me.
00:32:16Daddy?
00:32:17You get on that plane, Allie.
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.
00:32:35Except you.
00:32:39That is...
00:32:39God, 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.
00:33:03What's going on?
00:33:07Power grid has been happening for weeks.
00:33:14Natalie?
00:33:15Daddy.
00:33:17I'm scared.
00:33:19It's dark and there's someone outside.
00:33:21I'll be right there.
00:33:22Keep the doors locked.
00:33:24I have to go.
00:33:25No, I'm coming with you.
00:33:26Allie, this isn't something that...
00:33:27I'm coming with you.
00:33:28Okay.
00:33:29Okay, come on.
00:33:32Natalie?
00:33:34Oh, my God.
00:33:35Oh, my God.
00:33:36Oh, my God.
00:33:37Thank God.
00:33:38Oh.
00:33:39I was so scared.
00:33:42It's okay.
00:33:43It's okay.
00:33:44You're okay.
00:33:45It must have been raccoons.
00:33:48Broken through the window.
00:33:50Probably those scones, huh?
00:33:52Yeah.
00:33:53I'm so sorry for leaving you alone for so long.
00:33:56Oh, it's my fault.
00:33:57No, no, no.
00:33:58I was happy to help, but...
00:33:59I think you missed your flight.
00:34:02So, you're saying we can watch a movie together?
00:34:09I, uh...
00:34:10Yes, we can.
00:34:14Miss Haley, come closer.
00:34:21Daddy, come closer.
00:34:25Isn't this great?
00:34:27Just the three of us.
00:34:28This pranker always makes my daddy fall asleep.
00:34:34Oh, my God.
00:35:03Oh, my God.
00:35:04I love you, Allie Brody.
00:35:14Why does this feel so...
00:35:17right?
00:35:19He's still my husband.
00:35:21And I know every freckle on his body.
00:35:24But no.
00:35:26I'm divorcing him.
00:35:27And marrying someone else.
00:35:29he'll be right back.
00:35:30And there's...
00:35:30Oh, my God.
00:35:33Oh, my God.
00:35:36Oh, my God.
00:35:37Oh.
00:35:42Oh, my God.
00:35:42Mommy and Daddy, I made breakfast.
00:35:55Do you like it?
00:35:56I made pancakes.
00:35:58They are excellent and sweet.
00:36:02This is what families do.
00:36:04They eat breakfast together.
00:36:10What's up?
00:36:12There's some stupid birthday invitation.
00:36:19All the kids from school will be there, but I'm not going.
00:36:22Why not?
00:36:23Because everyone always says if I had a mom, she'd help me pick up better gifts.
00:36:29And they say I'm just a momless loser.
00:36:32You are not a momless loser, Natalie.
00:36:35And don't let anyone make you feel less than you are.
00:36:38I grew up without a mom, too, you know.
00:36:44And it was hard.
00:36:46But I was always able to rely on my dad.
00:36:50Just like you can.
00:36:51And by the way, your dad is worth a thousand momies.
00:37:00That's true.
00:37:00She checked.
00:37:03So go to that party with your head held high.
00:37:06No one can take your power from you unless you let them.
00:37:09Okay, Miss Allie.
00:37:14I'll go to the party.
00:37:15Thanks.
00:37:15Oh, no.
00:37:24Excuse me.
00:37:25Um, I have to take this.
00:37:32I see you got my messages.
00:37:35Delete that photo, Trista.
00:37:36Oh, which one?
00:37:38Because I have plenty.
00:37:42What's the problem?
00:37:44A rich fiancé isn't enough for you, so you have to come back and seduce your husband, too.
00:37:48I didn't come here to get back with Craig, Trista.
00:37:51I came here to divorce him.
00:37:53Really?
00:37:54Then prove it.
00:37:55Walk away now and leave this town for good.
00:37:59Otherwise, these photos will go to the senator.
00:38:03I could ruin you, Hallie.
00:38:07So don't mess with my life, and I won't mess with yours.
00:38:18Hey.
00:38:19Everything okay?
00:38:21Fine.
00:38:22Who are you talking to?
00:38:24Oh, uh, my, uh, fiancé's lawyer.
00:38:27He'll be by with new divorce papers.
00:38:30Um, I have to go.
00:38:32Right now?
00:38:33Yes.
00:38:34I'm sorry, but yes.
00:38:35Can you call me a cab?
00:38:36Hallie.
00:38:37Call me a cab, Craig.
00:38:39Okay.
00:38:42My plans didn't work, Lucy.
00:38:44I guess Mommy isn't in love with Daddy after all.
00:38:57Martha May?
00:38:58Hallie Builder, as I live and breathe!
00:39:01Oh, how are you so skinny?
00:39:03I thought that city of yours had a restaurant on every block.
00:39:07Oh, 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?
00:39:14Don't tell me you're shutting down.
00:39:16Yeah, I don't have a choice.
00:39:17Rent's gone up, and I can't afford the place anymore.
00:39:19No, no, there must be something I can do.
00:39:23Mayor Diggle, shut it down.
00:39:26Mayor Diggle.
00:39:28Dirk, I can't believe you're shutting down Martha's Diner.
00:39:34It's a town institution.
00:39:36Is it?
00:39:37Or are you just upset about it because you and your boyfriend, Craig, used to go there?
00:39:41This isn't high school anymore, Dirk, and this isn't a game.
00:39:45What is it going to take for you to leave the diner alone?
00:39:48Well, you know I've always liked you, so...
00:39:52How about you and me handle this privately?
00:39:56I'll pay you.
00:39:57Twelve months' rent.
00:39:59In advance.
00:40:02Listen, you think I want your money?
00:40:04No.
00:40:04I had something more interesting in mind.
00:40:07You!
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.
00:40:15You don't want the...
00:40:17Let go of my water!
00:40:22Well, you two are under arrest for assaulting the mayor.
00:40:32You know the drill.
00:40:34This 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.
00:40:49God, this is so not funny.
00:40:54Ned 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.
00:41:02I should have sent my assistant.
00:41:04I 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.
00:41:11I have moved on to bigger and better things.
00:41:13Yeah, I heard about that.
00:41:16That 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.
00:41:26Oh my god.
00:41:26What about the blue collars?
00:41:28Hmm?
00:41:29What about the people you came from?
00:41:30I've tried to forget where I came from.
00:41:33Okay?
00:41:33Isn'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.
00:41:39I'm not the same girl you married.
00:41:41I've built a life, a career.
00:41:46I should thank you.
00:41:47Because I couldn't have done it without you.
00:41:50All right, lovebirds.
00:41:52Your bail's been posted.
00:41:54You're free to go.
00:41:56Bail?
00:41:56By who?
00:41:59Hey, Hows.
00:42:02Ned.
00:42:07Hey, Hows.
00:42:09Ned.
00:42:11So, you must be Craig Brody.
00:42:16The man who couldn't even sign a simple divorce paper.
00:42:19And you must be Ned Vogel.
00:42:21The man who thinks money can solve everything.
00:42:24Yeah, well, my money got you out of jail.
00:42:27I didn't ask to be bailed out.
00:42:29Hmm.
00:42:30Well, you can think of it as the government working for you.
00:42:33Well, you can shove your government up your silver spirit.
00:42:36Guys, please, stop.
00:42:38No, you're right.
00:42:39I'm not here to argue with a man who's holding on to the past.
00:42:43We got the divorce papers expedited.
00:42:48So, you can sign them, Craig.
00:42:50This nonsense has gone on long enough.
00:42:55Can I really divorce Hallie?
00:42:57Without her knowing about her own daughter?
00:43:02Sign the papers.
00:43:04Or we take you to court.
00:43:07And I gotta tell you, my lawyer's a shark.
00:43:10Say something, Ellie.
00:43:13Say something to stop this.
00:43:16Sign the papers.
00:43:17Craig.
00:43:19Let me go.
00:43:20That's the least you can do.
00:43:29Wonderful.
00:43:30We 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?
00:43:47Yes, of course.
00:43:52Bye.
00:43:59That is who she ended up with.
00:44:02I always thought it'd be you.
00:44:05You know, sometimes things don't work out the way we want them to.
00:44:11Hallie, what were you thinking?
00:44:13Jail?
00:44:14Are you trying to ruin my campaign?
00:44:17No.
00:44:18No, this has nothing to do with you.
00:44:20You are gonna be my wife.
00:44:24Everything you do reflects on me.
00:44:28Now, are there any other skeletons I should know about?
00:44:40No.
00:44:42Nothing.
00:44:42This town is just how you described it.
00:44:50Low class, run down, depressing.
00:44:55It isn't that bad.
00:44:58Those are your words, Hallie.
00:45:00It's gotten into you.
00:45:01I don't know.
00:45:02Um, just being back here.
00:45:05Should I remind you how lucky you are to have gotten out?
00:45:11Class signature, Miss Bilner.
00:45:13And you'll be free and clear to be the wife of a senny.
00:45:15Okay.
00:45:27Let's go.
00:45:32Fair wages, fair pay.
00:45:34We won't be the contract today.
00:45:35Let us through.
00:45:36No one gets in or out today.
00:45:38Town workers on strike.
00:45:39We need to get these filed.
00:45:42We have a flight to catch in 30 minutes.
00:45:44Sorry, we can't do it.
00:45:49There you are, Mommy.
00:45:53Mommy?
00:45:54I knew you wanted to leave without me, Mommy.
00:46:01Mommy, you two have a kid together?
00:46:03No, no, no, of course not.
00:46:04Natalie, come on.
00:46:05Miss Hallie has to go.
00:46:07No, no!
00:46:09I'm so sorry.
00:46:10I hate you.
00:46:11I hate both of you.
00:46:15Another reason why I'm glad I don't have kids.
00:46:17Look, we need to get these signed.
00:46:19What's it going to cost me to make it happen?
00:46:22Whoa.
00:46:23Is 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 fiance.
00:46:38What happened to your husband?
00:46:41Is he still locked away in jail?
00:46:43I think you mean soon-to-be ex-husband.
00:46:46Ah, looks like your father got what he always wanted.
00:46:49You and Craig finally divorced.
00:46:53But what do you mean what my father wanted?
00:46:57What do you mean what my father wanted?
00:47:00Wait, Craig never told you.
00:47:02Fair, wait, just fair, fail.
00:47:03Hey, keep it down, all right?
00:47:05Or I will write you up for a noise violation.
00:47:07How about you pay us what we're owed and not waste our tax dollars on fancy new fire trucks and cocktail parties?
00:47:15Mayor Sullivan never would have done anything.
00:47:18All right, listen, Mayor Sullivan is not in charge anymore.
00:47:21I am, all right?
00:47:22So please just keep it down.
00:47:25Fair wait is fair pay.
00:47:26All right, just keep it down today.
00:47:28Fair wait is fair pay.
00:47:30I'll sign that paper for you.
00:47:32Yeah.
00:47:33All 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.
00:47:41A custody agreement?
00:47:42Sure, this child is just as much Hallie's as she is Craig's.
00:47:49You lied to me.
00:47:50No, no, no, I didn't know, I swear.
00:47:54How is this even possible?
00:47:56Well, she's adopted.
00:47:57I mean, I did the paperwork myself.
00:47:59You 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 a good thing.
00:48:05A husband is one thing, but a child?
00:48:07If this gets out, I am sunk.
00:48:09Right.
00:48:10A messy custody battle never sits well with voters.
00:48:13Who said anything about a custody agreement?
00:48:15Hallie doesn't even want the kid, right, Hallie?
00:48:18I mean, you barely even know the child.
00:48:20She'll give up custody right now.
00:48:21Where do we sign?
00:48:21It's not that simple.
00:48:23In a case like this, when a child's involved,
00:48:25both parties have to attend a parenting class.
00:48:28Next one starts tomorrow.
00:48:29Tomorrow?
00:48:31I do not have time for this.
00:48:33I have to get back to New York before the press starts asking questions.
00:48:38Go.
00:48:39Go, I'll get this sorted out.
00:48:41Fine.
00:48:42Take care of this child.
00:48:45End this marriage.
00:48:46Quickly and quietly.
00:48:54Hallie.
00:48:55No!
00:48:55You were just going to let me divorce you?
00:48:57Never knowing that Natalie's my daughter?
00:49:00Shh.
00:49:00Okay.
00:49:03The adoption went through after you left.
00:49:11You didn't think I deserved to know?
00:49:13You could have called, written anything!
00:49:17I tried.
00:49:18What?
00:49:22And you were there with another guy.
00:49:24You looked happy.
00:49:26You looked free.
00:49:27It seems 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?
00:49:41It took me years to move on.
00:49:46And honestly,
00:49:46I don't know if I ever have.
00:49:52Forget it.
00:49:54It doesn't matter now anyway.
00:49:58Here.
00:50:02Parenting class.
00:50:05We need to take it in order to get divorced.
00:50:08Custody.
00:50:08Co-parenting.
00:50:12Legally, Natalie is just as much mine as she is yours.
00:50:15You haven't spent any time with her.
00:50:17You didn't raise her.
00:50:19I know.
00:50:20And whose fault is that?
00:50:23Class is at 8am.
00:50:24Don't be late.
00:50:30I knew Miss Hayley was my mommy.
00:50:32Dad?
00:50:42Maya, what's going on?
00:50:51Daddy!
00:50:53He's okay.
00:50:54He's stabilized.
00:50:55Your old man's a fighter, Holly.
00:50:58And clearly he's fighting to see you again.
00:51:02I have no fighting to see me.
00:51:04No, if anything,
00:51:06he'd be pissed to know I'm back.
00:51:08My dad hates me.
00:51:09That's not possible.
00:51:11Holly, he talks about you all the time.
00:51:14He does?
00:51:15Yep.
00:51:16Every Monday and Thursday at dialysis.
00:51:18That's how I know about your fancy job
00:51:21and your fancy boyfriend.
00:51:24None of this makes any sense.
00:51:27Holly, are you okay?
00:51:30Yeah, today's just been.
00:51:32A lot.
00:51:34Maya, did you know
00:51:35that Natalie's
00:51:37my daughter?
00:51:42My shift ends in five minutes.
00:51:44Do you want to grab a drink?
00:51:47Craig has never revealed
00:51:49who Natalie's mother was,
00:51:51but
00:51:51he's never been with anyone since you,
00:51:53so we figured...
00:51:54Wait a second.
00:51:55He's never been with anyone since me.
00:51:59No, he left me for Trista.
00:52:01I saw him.
00:52:02Trista.
00:52:03She's been after him for years, sure,
00:52:05but 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!
00:52:12Excuse me, Maya.
00:52:26I need to get to the bottom of this.
00:52:27Okay.
00:52:36Good to see you, Hallie.
00:52:38I know the truth.
00:52:39You were never with Trista.
00:52:42So tell me the truth about everything.
00:52:45Right now.
00:52:51Play me for it.
00:52:53If you win,
00:52:55I'll tell you.
00:52:56Looks like big city living
00:53:05hasn't dulled your aim at all.
00:53:06No.
00:53:07If anything.
00:53:08Maybe sharper.
00:53:16You two are playing like
00:53:17your lives depend on it.
00:53:18Well,
00:53:24kinda do.
00:53:31Oops.
00:53:36If you do that again,
00:53:38I might just have to take you
00:53:39right here on the table.
00:53:41Too bad I'm engaged.
00:53:42What are you playing at, Hallie?
00:53:47I deserve the truth.
00:53:49Why?
00:53:50You came here to divorce me.
00:53:52What good would the truth do?
00:53:54I'll be the one to decide that.
00:53:56I'm going to move to prison.
00:54:09Now.
00:54:11Pass up.
00:54:19You scratched.
00:54:23I win.
00:54:24thank you ladies

00:54:30maybe I can find some clues in my father's room

00:55:58who hid the fact that I had a daughter
00:55:59for five years
00:56:01not to mention whatever other secrets he's keeping
00:56:04and what would you have done
00:56:06if I'd come up to you in the library that day
00:56:08Hallie be honest
00:56:09you'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 gonna do

00:58:12I should have told her about Natalie
00:58:14it was unfair

00:58:18because you and I both know
00:58:20what Hallie would have chosen
00:58:21all those years ago

00:59:04yes
00:59:04in fact
00:59:05she said that she didn't want any kids at all
00:59:08Hallie was born to be a mother

00:59:11is it?
00:59:14this is from the judge
00:59:15she's planning on giving up full custody

01:15:14Actually, I just came to give you the deposit.
01:15:18We break ground tomorrow.
01:15:21We?
01:15:22We said we would fix this town up.
01:15:25And that is exactly what we're going to do.
01:15:32I never thought I'd see the day where our dream became a reality.
01:15:36No, it was always your dream.
01:15:38I was just happy to help.
01:15:42Lulu!
01:15:43Oh, my God!
01:15:45Wow, boss.
01:15:46No wonder you never came back.
01:15:48You never told me your husband was a stone-cold hog.
01:15:51Oh.
01:15:52Ex-husband.
01:15:55Right.
01:15:59Hallie.
01:16:00Ned.
01:16:01Hi.
01:16:04What are you doing here?
01:16:05I told you I would be back next week.
01:16:06You want to tell me what the meaning of this is?
01:16:13You told me there was nothing going on between you two.
01:16:16Are you trying to embarrass me on a national stage?
01:16:19No.
01:16:20No, Ned.
01:16:21I am so sorry.
01:16:23Is your campaign okay?
01:16:25It's fine.
01:16:26For now.
01:16:27Luckily, this is just a mock-up.
01:16:29Post gave it to us before going to press.
01:16:32Get in.
01:16:33I am taking you home.
01:16:35Ned, I told you this project is important.
01:16:39Hallie, you build multi-billion dollar skyscrapers.
01:16:42Not whatever this is.
01:16:44This matters.
01:16:46A sad little shopping mall in a sad little town?
01:16:51Come on, Hallie.
01:16:53You're better than this.
01:16:55What's that supposed to mean?
01:16:57Being back here, it has you confused.
01:16:59You don't know what you want.
01:17:01You don't know who you really are anymore.
01:17:03But this is your past.
01:17:07I am your future.
01:17:08Remember?
01:17:09You still want to marry me?
01:17:10Even after that?
01:17:11Yes.
01:17:12In fact, I want to move the wedding up.
01:17:14Let's get married right now.
01:17:15Let's get married right now.
01:17:16Right now?
01:17:17Um.
01:17:18Excuse me.
01:17:19Hey.
01:17:20Seeing these photos, it made me realize how much you mean to me.
01:17:24I can't lose you, Hallie.
01:17:25I don't want to lose you.
01:17:26Please, marry me.
01:17:27You're gonna marry her?
01:17:30She was cheating on you.
01:17:49Who are you?
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. Come with me.
01:18:09What? No, no, no. You 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? What 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.
01:18:42Something 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?
01:19:00Our relationship?
01:19:02No.
01:19:03Of course not. I love you.
01:19:05Then what's my favorite color, Ned?
01:19:08Come on, Hallie.
01:19:10My favorite flower?
01:19:11My favorite flower?
01:19:15I 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.
01:19:28Because 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.
01:19:43I 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.
01:19:56You'll 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.
01:20:07Neither of you.
01:20:08My suit.
01:20:21My jaw.
01:20:22You broke my face.
01:20:25Good.
01:20:26Looks better that way, in my opinion.
01:20:28I have you arrested for assaulting a government official.
01:20:31There isn't a cop who will side with you over me.
01:20:34Not in this town.
01:20:35And by the way, her favorite color is blue.
01:20:40And her favorite flower, the marigold,
01:20:43as it blooms from spring to fall.
01:20:46There you go.
01:20:48I hope that suit wasn't too expensive.
01:20:50This suit is worth more than you make in a year.
01:20:53Isn't that something?
01:20:55It's time for you to leave, Senator.
01:20:57Come on, Hallie.
01:20:59You're not going to give up everything
01:21:00just for some pathetic small-town nobody.
01:21:03Yeah, he may be from a small town.
01:21:07But he is not a nobody.
01:21:10In fact, if I had to choose a son-in-law,
01:21:13I'd pick him over you any day of the week.
01:21:16Daddy!
01:21:18Hallie, I am so sorry for everything.
01:21:22Starting with meddling in your marriage.
01:21:25Meddling?
01:21:25I'm the one that made Craig divorce.
01:21:29I told him if he really loved you, he'd let you go.
01:21:33He did.
01:21:36I thought you deserved more than a small town,
01:21:40more than a local boy like him.
01:21:43She does, sir.
01:21:45Come on, Hallie.
01:21:47He divorced you.
01:21:48He gave up a daughter for you.
01:21:50So what if I want to marry you for a story?
01:21:53People get married for worse reasons.
01:21:55And they get divorced for better ones.
01:21:59I don't care what you think,
01:22:00oh, man, Hallie, you're coming with me.
01:22:02You stay away from my daughter.
01:22:04Hallie, I am not leaving.
01:22:06You owe it to me to go through this wedding.
01:22:09I've had about enough of people telling me
01:22:11who I should and shouldn't marry.
01:22:13Okay.
01:22:16Get out of here, Ned.
01:22:18It's over between us.
01:22:19Get out of here, Ned.
01:22:25It's over between us.
01:22:28Fine.
01:22:30But I hope you know what you're giving up, Hallie.
01:22:34I most certainly do.
01:22:41It was too big anyway.
01:22:44Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:22:46What about me?
01:22:47I'll marry you.
01:22:49I'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.
01:22:58I owe you both an apology for trying to play God.
01:23:14I'm sorry.
01:23:15Daddy.
01:23:16Hear me out.
01:23:17When I was in the hospital and I hooked up to all those machines,
01:23:21I just 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 I took that future and that life away from you.
01:23:38Hallie, Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:23:43Hallie, Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:23:46How?
01:23:48This should be enough.
01:23:49I want her on that plane, alone, whatever 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.
01:24:06Is this true, Craig?
01:24:10Mm-hmm.
01:24:12Why 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.
01:24:31Unless...
01:24:31You let me be a part of your family again?
01:24:36Now, I know this ring isn't exactly as big as your old one.
01:24:42But, um...
01:24:44You'd make me the happiest man in the world if you would marry me again.
01:24:49Yeah?
01:24:50Yes.
01:24:51Yes, Craig, I'll marry you.
01:24:53Oh, perfect fit.
01:25:00It always was.
01:25:03Mommy, Daddy, I knew you'd come back together.
01:25:05Oh, she did.
01:25:07All right, come on.
01:25:07Come on.
01:25:08Up we go.
01:25:09Dale, that wasn't such a crazy dream.
01:25:12I'd like you to meet your granddaughter, Natalie Hallie Brody.
01:25:16My dream came true.
01:25:18Hi, Grandpa.
01:25:20Hallie, 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?
01:25:31Okay, what do we think?
01:25:33Who's up for our wedding?
01:25:35Yeah?
01:25:36Yeah?
01:25:38Yeah?
01:25:38Yeah?
01:25:42Hi.
01:25:44Um, we would like to get remarried.
01:25:46I can't accept your remarriage.
01:25:50That's ridiculous.
01:25:52Uh, what?
01:25:53Why?
01:25:54I can't accept your remarriage.
01:25:56That's ridiculous.
01:25:58Uh, what?
01:25:59Why?
01:26:00Well, because you were never really divorced in the first place.
01:26:03Look right here.
01:26:03You signed your name Hallie Bildner, but your name is, and always has been, Hallie Brody.
01:26:11Will you look at that?
01:26:13Wait, so, um, that means the custody papers?
01:26:18Well, that's, uh, that's void.
01:26:23So, you're still Natalie's parents.
01:26:27Mommy!
01:26:32Daddy.
01:26:33I forgive you.
01:26:52I've got seven years to make up for.
01:27:03I just want to thank you all for your faith in me, and as your new mayor, I promise to work
01:27:14tirelessly to bring this town back to what it once was, starting with the community center
01:27:21that Craig and Hallie so generously built.
01:27:26We love you, Mayor Martha.
01:27:28Love you.
01:27:28Love you.
01:27:28Love you.
01:27:35What do you think, Michalachin?
01:27:36She's a big one.
01:27:38It's not a big one.
01:27:39It's not a big one.
01:27:40It's a big one.
01:27:40It's a big one.
01:27:40It's a big one.
01:27:41It's a big one.
01:27:41It looks like they've found a story to replace him with after all.
01:27:50Is there a really baby right there?
01:27:52Yes.
01:27:53Yes.
01:27:54We're going to be one big, happy family.
01:27:56Thank you so much for watching.
