00:00:00Oh, what do you think?
00:00:10Hey!
00:00:11I hope you can get your head out of these architecture books, Hallie, and finally go out with me.
00:00:16Never in a million years, Dirk Dingle.
00:00:19I want your book back. Why don't you come and get it?
00:00:23Come on. Hey!
00:00:25Listen, don't fight this, okay? We will be together eventually.
00:00:28Get off me!
00:00:30Hey, don't... don't fight me, okay?
00:00:37Ow! You bitch!
00:00:42She said she's not interested, bro!
00:00:45Rick Brody. Oh, you always gotta play the hero, huh?
00:00:48Yeah, go ahead. You'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.
00:00:57No!
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. 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.
00:01:33You wanna... grab lunch? Or... keep studying?
00:01:39Um... I... yeah.
00:01:41Yeah?
00:01:42Grab lunch.
00:01:43We're doing great.
00:01:44No!
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,
00:02:05we're gonna rebuild this town.
00:02:08Together.
00:02:11Allie, give me some ice.
00:02:13Sure, Daddy.
00:02:17Are you two insane?
00:02:20Rebuild this town? This town is dying,
00:02:23and I want my daughter as far away from it as possible.
00:02:26Uh, but, sir, we have a plan.
00:02:29We even applied to adopt a child.
00:02:32Even more reason to end this now,
00:02:34before you keep her trapped here forever.
00:02:37I promised Allie's mother before she passed away
00:02:39that I would take care of our daughter.
00:02:41She deserves more than this two-bit town,
00:02:44and quite frankly, she deserves more than you.
00:02:47But, sir, I love her more than anything.
00:02:50I promise I will always take care of her.
00:02:53And you think that's important?
00:02:56She's going to be a world-class architect.
00:02:59You, you're...
00:03:01You'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 alone.
00:03:26I want her on that plane alone.
00:03:33For Mr. and Mrs. Craig Brody.
00:03:35We just got married.
00:03:36I 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.
00:04:00Um...
00:04:02What, but...
00:04:04No, what about our plans?
00:04:07We were trying to start a family together.
00:04:09No.
00:04:10The last person I'd want to start a family with is you, Allie.
00:04:14I want a divorce.
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.
00:04:27Just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:04:29Craig.
00:04:30Craig, no.
00:04:31What?
00:04:35I thought you believed in me.
00:04:38Ma'am, boarding is closing.
00:04:39Are you coming or not?
00:04:43Ma'am, boarding is closing.
00:04:44Are you coming or not?
00:04:48Yes.
00:04:49But I'd like to change my ticket to one way.
00:04:51Miss Filtner!
00:04:52Miss Filtner!
00:04:53Miss Filtner!
00:04:54You were just recognized as Time Magazine's top CEO to watch,
00:04:55and your company is taking the New York architecture scene by storm.
00:04:58What's next for you?
00:04:59Um, I don't know.
00:05:00Taking over the world?
00:05:01Well, you and your boyfriend, billionaire politician Ned Vogel, are quite the power couple.
00:05:04He must be so proud.
00:05:05I'm not doing any of this for a man's approval.
00:05:06Well, word on the street is he's planning on proposing.
00:05:07You must be the luckiest girl in the world.
00:05:08The luckiest girl in the world?
00:05:09Right.
00:05:10Miss Filtner!
00:05:11Miss Filtner!
00:05:12Miss Filtner!
00:05:17Miss Filtner!
00:05:18I'm not doing any of this for a man's approval.
00:05:19Well, word on the street is he's planning on proposing.
00:05:20You must be the luckiest girl in the world.
00:05:23The luckiest girl in the world?
00:05:25Right.
00:05:26Miss Filtner!
00:05:27Miss Filtner!
00:05:28Miss Filtner!
00:05:29Miss Filtner!
00:05:30Miss Filtner!
00:05:32Miss Filtner!
00:05:33Oh, my God.
00:05:46Allie Bildner, you are the most impressive woman I've ever met.
00:05:53You are my soulmate.
00:06:03Will you marry me?
00:06:10Will you marry me?
00:06:12Allie Bildner, 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.
00:06:23Allie.
00:06:25You're really leaving me to sweat here.
00:06:28And this suit is way too expensive for that.
00:06:30The most eligible bachelor in the country is proposing to me.
00:06:34So why am I thinking about Craig?
00:06:36He was a jerk and a liar.
00:06:38And I need to move on with my life.
00:06:43Of course, I'll marry you.
00:06:53This ring must have cost a fortune.
00:06:56You're so lucky.
00:06:58When's the wedding?
00:06:59Ned wants to get married as soon as possible.
00:07:03Oh, you know, Hallie 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?
00:07:21So 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.
00:07:37Hallie, the election is in six weeks.
00:07:39This could ruin my campaign.
00:07:41Just imagine the headlines.
00:07:42Senator's fiance.
00:07:43Already a wife?
00:07:44I will get him to sign the papers.
00:07:46You better.
00:07:48Or there won't be a future for us, Hallie.
00:07:53I gotta take this.
00:07:54It's my campaign manager.
00:07:55But this is important.
00:07:57Yeah, so is this.
00:08:01Clarence.
00:08:01What's going on, buddy?
00:08:03Talk to me.
00:08:08Motherfucker.
00:08:26I never thought I'd hear from you again, Hallie.
00:08:31Thanks for meeting me here, Trista.
00:08:37So, you really ended it with her.
00:08:40What does it look like?
00:08:42Yeah.
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.
00:08:53We're not going anywhere together, Trista.
00:08:56My heart still belongs to Hallie.
00:08:59And it always will.
00:09:01I don't understand.
00:09:03Sometimes, when you truly love someone, you have to let them go.
00:09:11No matter how much it hurts.
00:09:15Thank you for your help.
00:09:23I hate you, Hallie Brody!
00:09:25Your call has been forwarded to an automatic...
00:09:34Fine.
00:09:37You want me to come after you, Craig Brody?
00:09:41I will.
00:09:42Leave the bag.
00:09:52I'll be five minutes.
00:09:53I'll be five minutes.
00:09:53It's been seven years, Craig Brody, and you broke my heart.
00:10:15Somehow, the peace is still beat for you.
00:10:24Hallie!
00:10:26What are you doing here, Hallie?
00:10:29Well, someone never signed the divorce papers, so we're still married.
00:10:34Sign the papers, Craig.
00:10:35I can't sign them.
00:10:38You 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.
00:10:53You're engaged.
00:10:55Yes, Craig!
00:10:56Or did you think I would never move on from you?
00:10:59Sign the papers!
00:10:59I can't sign them.
00:11:02Why not?
00:11:03There's something I have to tell you.
00:11:05Mommy!
00:11:07Oh, oh, ah.
00:11:13I can't sign them.
00:11:15Why not?
00:11:16Because we have a daughter together, and I never told you.
00:11:24You're finally approved.
00:11:28After all this time.
00:11:29You even remember?
00:11:37We're fine.
00:11:39You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:11:43Mommy!
00:11:45I'm sorry, but, um, I'm not your mommy.
00:11:49Yes, you are.
00:11:50You are my mommy.
00:11:51Tell her, Daddy.
00:11:52Uh, Craig?
00:11:54What is she talking about?
00:11:55Natalie, why don't you go grab the nest?
00:11:57Because I said we'd go catch bullfrogs, remember?
00:11:59Okay.
00:12:00Is mommy coming with us?
00:12:02No, mommy and daddy need to have a chat.
00:12:04All right?
00:12:04Okay, daddy.
00:12:09Want to tell me what the hell is going on?
00:12:12Well...
00:12:13Allie didn't come here to get back together.
00:12:19She came here to divorce me, and 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.
00:12:38You looked free.
00:12:38Well?
00:12:50Um, you...
00:12:51You know, kids.
00:12:55Active imaginations.
00:12:56She thinks every woman who comes on the farm is her mom.
00:12:59All right, listen, just leave the papers on the counter and I'll sign them.
00:13:03I have a flight back to New York in three hours, and I am not leaving here without these papers signed.
00:13:08Well, I'm not signing them until I read them over first.
00:13:11Why, Craig?
00:13:13It's not like you have anything that I want.
00:13:15What do you have that I could possibly want?
00:13:17I'm ready, daddy.
00:13:21Okay, um, I promise I'll sign them.
00:13:24Okay?
00:13:24I know better than to trust your promises, Craig.
00:13:27I got one for you too, mommy.
00:13:28Uh...
00:13:29Oh, yeah.
00:13:30So, Miss Allie is going back to New York, so it's just going to be you and me and get up.
00:13:35Like always.
00:13:35Okay.
00:13:37I'm sorry.
00:13:38Just leave them in the living room.
00:13:40I'll sign them.
00:13:40No, no, don't.
00:13:40Come on.
00:13:41Don't, don't, don't.
00:13:47Don't, don't, don't.
00:14:17Oh, no cell service still.
00:14:30Guess I'm walking.
00:14:33Mommy, help.
00:14:34Daddy's hurt.
00:14:38What happened?
00:14:39Daddy got bit by a big snake.
00:14:41Yeah.
00:14:43Oh.
00:14:44Copperhead?
00:14:45Mm-hmm.
00:14:47Daddy.
00:14:53You still remember how to draw out snake venom?
00:14:55Well, I haven't forgotten everything you taught me, Craig Brody.
00:14:58Here.
00:15:03Here.
00:15:04Keep the pressure on.
00:15:05Mm-hmm.
00:15:06Okay.
00:15:08Your daddy will be fine.
00:15:10I promise.
00:15:10I promise.
00:15:10Hold still.
00:15:21All right.
00:15:23Keep the pressure on.
00:15:25Mm-hmm.
00:15:31So, your daughter.
00:15:33Mm-hmm.
00:15:33She looks about...
00:15:36Seven years old.
00:15:39So, she's Trista's.
00:15:41No.
00:15:42She'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?
00:15:52I don't care if you were with the entire town, just, um, 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?
00:16:04Daddy's had this photo in a snake stand 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?
00:16:28No.
00:16:29Oh.
00:16:33Oh.
00:16:33I will check into the P-Coy in for tonight.
00:16:41Oh.
00:16:41And we can look for the divorce papers tomorrow.
00:16:43The P-Coy closed years ago?
00:16:46There was always your father's...
00:16:48That's, um, not an option.
00:16:51The way she said that, that something happened between her and her father.
00:16:56Well, unless you want to stay outside, I guess you're stuck here.
00:17:03Fine, but I'm not staying in your room.
00:17:12Wouldn't dream 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 daddy helped me decorate it.
00:17:32Okay, look.
00:17:44Oh, my God.
00:17:47I know it hasn't been easy.
00:17:49Trying to start a family, but, uh, one day, the adoption will go through.
00:17:54We're gonna have that baby, and you will be the most amazing.
00:18:00Good night, sweetheart.
00:18:14Good night, sweetheart.
00:18:28I guess I'm just remembering things wrong.
00:18:53Good night, man.
00:19:10Good night, everyone.
00:19:11I don't know.
00:19:42There's nothing I haven't seen before.
00:19:45Daddy?
00:19:47Oh, God.
00:19:51Do you know where McHaley went?
00:19:53Uh, no. 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.
00:20:07Ow!
00:20:08Oh, God.
00:20:11Greg, I'm engaged to someone else.
00:20:31You're also married to me.
00:20:33How could this get any mess here?
00:20:41I should go.
00:20:45Hey.
00:21:02Hey.
00:21:03So I found the divorce papers.
00:21:05Natalie!
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!
00:21:21What 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.
00:21:44What 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?
00:21:56We'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.
00:22:17How could I?
00:22:22It's the worst day of my life.
00:22:24Oh, it's not right 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.
00:22:47Eat it.
00:22:51Because it's the closest you'll get to tasting Craig's mouth ever again.
00:22:58Oh my God!
00:23:02You New York bitch!
00:23:04Oh my God!
00:23:07Oh my God!
00:23:11You think you can just waltz back in here and pick up where you left off?
00:23:14Craig will always choose me over you.
00:23:21What the hell is going on?
00:23:23Oh my God!
00:23:23Oh my God!
00:23:24Oh my God!
00:23:25Oh my God!
00:23:27That crazy bitch!
00:23:28Like I said, he will always choose me over you.
00:23:35Are you okay?
00:23:36Why are you asking her?
00:23:38I'm the one who's injured.
00:23:39All I did was offer her a scone and then she called it dog food and then she kicked me.
00:23:49Aw.
00:23:50Poor little thing.
00:23:51You 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.
00:24:03I'm coming back here to beg for him back is just...
00:24:08Actually, I didn't divorce Hallie.
00:24:11She's still my wife.
00:24:14What?
00:24:16Hallie 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, this is just one big misunderstanding.
00:24:27You heard my daddy get out of our house before we call the cops.
00:24:31Oh my god, ew.
00:24:34What is that disgusting creature?
00:24:37I'm gonna vomit.
00:24:39Good job, Lucy.
00:24:41You know what?
00:24:41I should go.
00:24:42Hallie.
00:24:47It was nice meeting you, Hallie.
00:24:50I'm sorry.
00:24:57Lulu.
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 did it.
00:25:11Because I knew it would hurt me the most.
00:25:15Seeing her again, it just reminded me of the worst day of my life.
00:25:19Hallie.
00:25:21There's something I need to tell you about Trista.
00:25:23I 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.
00:25:42I...
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.
00:25:51No, uh, 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.
00:26:04You can just go to the store.
00:26:07Okay.
00:26:07Okay.
00:26:08Okay.
00:26:09Hey, Miss Hallie is staying.
00:26:11Stop looking at him like that, Hallie.
00:26:31You can't have feelings for him.
00:26:34Even if he is your husband.
00:26:41I can't believe how bad the town looks.
00:26:48When 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.
00:27:06So?
00:27:07You 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, it may 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.
00:27:27It takes this town up.
00:27:28I am pretty good.
00:27:30I am her.
00:27:31I need an assistant.
00:27:32How about a partner?
00:27:33Oh.
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.
00:27:57I 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.
00:28:18I love you, Hallie Biltner.
00:28:22I want you to know I will never, ever hurt you.
00:28:27I'm so sorry for hurting you, Hallie.
00:28:32Natalie and I were supposed to eat these on our fishing trip.
00:28:36I 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.
00:28:47Oh, 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.
00:28:55They think we broke up.
00:28:56You need to get back here right now.
00:28:58I can't yet.
00:29:04I need to get new divorce papers in city halls.
00:29:06It's closed 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?
00:29:13It'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,
00:29:25and we are going to force that husband of yours
00:29:27into signing them if we have to.
00:29:29I need you on the next flight back in an hour.
00:29:32In an hour?
00:29:33Yeah.
00:29:34That's not going to be a problem, is it?
00:29:39Of course not.
00:29:43I have to go.
00:29:47You wouldn't mind taking me to the airport, would you?
00:29:50Of course not.
00:29:57Just 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, goodbye, I guess.
00:30:13Holly, I...
00:30:14No, Craig.
00:30:15Oh, I'm done waiting.
00:30:18It's time for me to move on.
00:30:19Hello?
00:30:26What?
00:30:27Are you sure?
00:30:29Okay.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:31Um...
00:30:32Um, it's...
00:30:33My 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.
00:30:44No, of course not.
00:30:45Okay, good, good, good.
00:30:46Come on.
00:30:49What's going on?
00:30:51The neighbor found him this morning on the lawn.
00:30:54Hallie, I didn't expect to see you here.
00:30:57Is 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, Hallie, of kidney failure.
00:31:10How long does he have?
00:31:12A couple weeks, maybe a month.
00:31:14I hope we're planning on sticking around this time.
00:31:19Excuse me.
00:31:24I had no idea.
00:31:26You didn't?
00:31:27When's the last time you saw him?
00:31:31Seven years ago.
00:31:39Hallie.
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 a real architect.
00:32:00Everyone'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.
00:32:09No one will want you.
00:32:11Not Craig.
00:32:13Not even me.
00:32:16Daddy?
00:32:17You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:32:20I never want to see you again.
00:32:22You are a disgrace.
00:32:23Nobody's ever been so mean to me.
00:32:38Except you.
00:32:39That 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.
00:32:51It didn'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.
00:33:06What's going on?
00:33:08Our grave has been happening for weeks.
00:33:14Natalie?
00:33:16Daddy.
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.
00:33:26Hallie, 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.
00:33:37Thank 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, no.
00:33:58I was happy to help, but, um...
00:34:00I think you missed your flight.
00:34:03So you're saying we can watch a movie together?
00:34:06I guess we can.
00:34:14Miss Haley, come closer.
00:34:20Daddy, come closer.
00:34:25Isn't this great?
00:34:27Just the three of us.
00:34:31This blanket always makes my daddy all asleep.
00:34:36Oh my god.
00:35:06I love you, Allie 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.
00:35:26I'm divorcing him.
00:35:27And marrying someone else.
00:35:29Mommy and Daddy, I made breakfast.
00:35:48Do you like it?
00:35:56I made pancakes.
00:35:58They are excellent, sweetie.
00:36:02Mm-hmm.
00:36:03This is what families do.
00:36:04They eat breakfast together.
00:36:10What's up?
00:36:11There'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.
00:36:31You are not a momless loser, Natalie.
00:36:35And don't let anyone make you feel less than you are.
00:36:41I grew up without a mom, too, you know.
00:36:44And it was hard.
00:36:46But I was always able to rely on my dad.
00:36:50Just like you can.
00:36:51And 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.
00:37:13Okay, Miss Allie, I'll go to the party.
00:37:15Thanks.
00:37:15Excuse me, um, I have to take this.
00:37:32I see you got my messages.
00:37:35Delete that photo, Trista.
00:37:37Oh, which one?
00:37:38Because I have plenty.
00:37:42What's the problem?
00:37:43A rich fiancé isn't enough for you,
00:37:46so 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.
00:38:05I could ruin you, Hallie.
00:38:07So don't mess with my life,
00:38:09and I won't mess with yours.
00:38:13Hey, everything 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.
00:38:38Craig.
00:38:39Okay.
00:38:39My plan 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!
00:38:59As 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,
00:39:08but 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.
00:39:20No.
00:39:21No, there must be something I can do.
00:39:23Mayor Diggle, shut it down.
00:39:27Mayor 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 how about you and me handle this privately?
00:39:56I'll pay you.
00:39:57Well, 12 months rent in advance.
00:40:02Listen, you think I want your money?
00:40:04No, I 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!
00:40:18Well, 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.
00:40:37Wife, huh?
00:40:47Some habits are hard to break.
00:40:51God, 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.
00:41:26What about the blue collars?
00:41:28What about the people you came from?
00:41:30I've tried to forget where I came from.
00:41:33Okay, 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.
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 by 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.
00:42:30Well, 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.
00:42:37No, 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.
00:42:52This nonsense has gone on long enough.
00:42:54Can I really divorce Hallie without her knowing about her own daughter?
00:43:02Sign the papers.
00:43:04Or we take you to court.
00:43:07But I gotta tell you, my lawyer's a shark.
00:43:10Say something, Hallie.
00:43:11Say something to stop this.
00:43:16Sign the papers, Craig.
00:43:19Let me go.
00:43:20It'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.
00:43:35This 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.
00:43:53That 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 going to 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.
00:44:45This town is just how you described it.
00:44:50Low-class, run-down, depressing.
00:44:55It isn't that bad.
00:44:58Those were your words, Hallie.
00:45:00What's gotten into you?
00:45:01I don't know.
00:45:02Um, just...
00:45:04being back here...
00:45:07Should I remind you how lucky you are to have gotten out?
00:45:12Last signature, Miss Bilner.
00:45:13And you'll be free and clear to be the wife of Aseni.
00:45:15Okay.
00:45:28Let'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?
00:45:57I knew you wanted to leave without me, Mommy.
00:46:01Mommy, you two have a kid together?
00:46:02No, no, 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!
00:46:22Is this a city senate official
00:46:26bribing a city employee?
00:46:29You see, I have my fair share of scandals,
00:46:31but this, this is bad.
00:46:35Holly, I see you got a fancy new fiance.
00:46:40What happened to your husband?
00:46:41He's 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.
00:46:53But what do you mean what my father wanted?
00:46:57What do you mean what my father wanted?
00:47:00Wait, man.
00:47:01Craig never told you...
00:47:02Fair, wait, just fair, wait!
00:47:03Hey!
00:47:04Keep it down, all right?
00:47:05Or I will write you up for a noise violation.
00:47:08How about you pay us what we're owed
00:47:09and not waste our tax dollars
00:47:12on fancy new fire trucks
00:47:14and cocktail parties?
00:47:16Mayor Sullivan never would have done anything.
00:47:18All right, listen.
00:47:19Mayor Sullivan is not in charge anymore.
00:47:21I am.
00:47:22All right, so 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.
00:47:48You lied to me.
00:47:50No, no, no, I didn't know, I swear.
00:47:53How 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?
00:48:17I 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, both parties have to attend a parenting class.
00:48:27The next 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 and this marriage.
00:48:45Quickly and quietly.
00:48:54Hallie.
00:48:55No!
00:48:55You 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.
00:49:11You didn't think I deserved to know?
00:49:13You could have called.
00:49:15Written 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.
00:49:29Seems you don't need me and Natalie anymore.
00:49:31And that's why you never told me that I had a daughter?
00:49:34You looked like you'd moved on.
00:49:39Moved on?
00:49:40It took me years to move on.
00:49:45And honestly, I don't know if I ever have.
00:49:52Forget it.
00:49:54It doesn't matter now anyway.
00:49:56Here.
00:49:56Here.
00:50:02Parenting class.
00:50:05We need to take it in order to get divorced.
00:50:08Custody.
00:50:10Co-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 8 a.m.
00:50:24Don't be late.
00:50:25I knew Miss Haley was my mommy.
00:50:37Dad?
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, Hallie.
00:50:58And clearly he's fighting to see you again.
00:51:02No fighting to see me?
00:51:04No, if anything, he'd be pissed to know I'm back.
00:51:08My dad hates me.
00:51:09That's not possible.
00:51:11Hallie, 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.
00:51:22None of this makes any sense.
00:51:27Hallie, are you okay?
00:51:29Yeah.
00:51:29Yeah, today's just been...
00:51:31A lot.
00:51:34Maya, did you know that Natalie's my daughter?
00:51:38My shift ends in five minutes.
00:51:43Do you want to grab a drink?
00:51:47Craig has never revealed who Natalie's mother was, but he's never been with anyone since
00:51:53you, so we figured...
00:51:54Wait a second.
00:51:55Uh, he'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, but he'd never touch her with a ten-foot pole.
00:52:06I don't understand.
00:52:09Just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:52:12Craig!
00:52:12No, I...
00:52:14Excuse me, Maya.
00:52:26I need to get to the bottom of this.
00:52:27Good to see you, Hallie.
00:52:38I know the truth.
00:52:40You were never with Trista.
00:52:42So tell me the truth about everything.
00:52:45Right now.
00:52:46Play me for it.
00:52:53If you win, I'll tell you.
00:53:04Looks like big-stated living hasn't dulled your A-middle.
00:53:06No, if anything, it made me sharper.
00:53:16You two are playing like your lives depend on it.
00:53:24Well, kind of do.
00:53:31Oops.
00:53:36If you do that again, I might just have to take you right 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.
00:54:09Now.
00:54:11That's up.
00:54:12You scratched.
00:54:22I win.
00:54:25Thank you, ladies.
00:54:27But I gotta go.
00:54:29I have an early start.
00:54:36Maybe I can find some clues in my father's room.
00:54:39Why didn't my father tell me he was sick?
00:54:44And why won't anyone just tell me the truth?
00:54:46Oh, my God.
00:54:51This will always belong to Hallie.
00:55:00And so do my heart.
00:55:02What is this doing here?
00:55:03What was this doing in my father's bedroom?
00:55:12Uh, Hallie.
00:55:13Tell me.
00:55:14Why was this in my father's room?
00:55:15Don't tell me you're about to propose, Hallie.
00:55:20What are you doing here?
00:55:23Surprise!
00:55:24I'm teaching the course.
00:55:26It's time for the two of you to get divorced.
00:55:29I mean, this is what you both want, right?
00:55:34Of 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.
00:55:47You know that.
00:55:48Okay, first topic.
00:55:51How to explain to your child why you're not together anymore.
00:55:54Uh, simple.
00:55:56Her father is a lying, manipulative jerk who hid the fact that I had a daughter for five years.
00:56:02Not to mention whatever other secrets he's keeping.
00:56:05And what would you have done if I'd come up to you in the library that day?
00:56:08Hallie, be honest.
00:56:10You'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?
00:56:16You're 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 no pair.
00:56:26And I will be damned if I let Ned Vogel be my daughter's stepfather.
00:56:31Jealous, Craig.
00:56:33You 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.
00:56:41I'll give you one.
00:56:42I did lie to you that day when I told you that I didn't love you anymore.
00:56:50I'm done yet.
00:56:53I knew he was still in love with you.
00:56:55I knew it.
00:56:56You just came here and you ruined everything like I knew you would.
00:56:58Ruined what exactly?
00:57:00I know the truth, Trista.
00:57:02You and Craig were never together.
00:57:03And 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.
00:57:14You want to be Natalie's mom.
00:57:17Well, not particularly.
00:57:18But I can pretend.
00:57:20At least until I send her off to boarding school.
00:57:23After all these years, her father and I deserve some alone time.
00:57:26I mean, don't you think?
00:57:29Don't you dare.
00:57:33Go 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.
00:57:40Oh, he looks upset.
00:58:01Let me out!
00:58:02Somebody!
00:58:06I'm so sorry about that.
00:58:08I didn't realize Hallie would try to provoke you like that.
00:58:11Oh, Hallie was right.
00:58:13I should have told her about Natalie.
00:58:14It was unfair.
00:58:16I need to apologize.
00:58:17Do you?
00:58:18Because you and I both know what Hallie would have chosen all those years ago.
00:58:22And it wouldn't have been you and them.
00:58:23I don't, because I never gave her the chance.
00:58:26I did.
00:58:27What?
00:58:28All those years ago, I told her about Natalie.
00:58:35I don't understand.
00:58:38I 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?
00:58:50I'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?
00:59:04Yes.
00:59:05In fact, she said that she didn't want any kids at all.
00:59:08Hallie was born to be a mother.
00:59:09That's all she's ever wanted.
00:59:12Is it?
00:59:14This is from the judge.
00:59:15She's planning on giving up full custody.
00:59:19She's going to New York.
00:59:20She has no interest in fighting for you or Natalie.
00:59:24But I do.
00:59:25What 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.
00:59:45It's not.
00:59:45Natalie.
00:59:46Natalie needs a mother.
00:59:47You know it and I know it.
00:59:49You need to move on, Craig.
00:59:51And come back to reality.
00:59:52Let me out.
00:59:55Hallie?
00:59:57What did you do to her?
00:59:59Nothing.
00:59:59Nothing.
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.
01:00:08No matter what happens with me and Hallie.
01:00:16You want to play it like that?
01:00:19So be it.
01:00:22Hi.
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.
01:00:46I don't believe a word you say.
01:00:49Hallie, please, please believe me.
01:00:51That was a mistake.
01:00:52God, the 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.
01:01:04Hi.
01:01:04I'd like to inform Senator Ned Vogel that his perfect little fiance is cheating on him with her husband.
01:01:16And don't worry.
01:01:17I have pictures to prove it.
01:01:23No, this isn't a prank phone call.
01:01:25I have proof.
01:01:29What?
01:01:31No, I'm not lying.
01:01:32Hello?
01:01:34Hello?
01:01:34I 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.
01:02:12Well, you don't sound very happy.
01:02:13It's just...
01:02:14What about Natalie?
01:02:17My daughter?
01:02:17What are you going to do, Hallie?
01:02:19Bring the kid with you to New York?
01:02:21Co-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.
01:02:33Today.
01:02:36There's nothing there for you anymore, Hallie.
01:02:38Not anymore.
01:02:43You're right.
01:02:44There's nothing left for me here.
01:02:47Hallie...
01:02:47I'm giving up custody.
01:02:49And going back to New York.
01:02:51You win, Craig.
01:02:53Win?
01:02:53You never wanted me to be a part of Natalie's life.
01:02:57Or yours.
01:02:59Well, congratulations.
01:03:01You got your wish.
01:03:02Hallie, please just hear me out.
01:03:04That's not the full story.
01:03:05There is nothing that you can say that will change anything.
01:03:08The damage is done.
01:03:09Let's just sign the papers and end this marriage.
01:03:16Party one agrees to give up full custody.
01:03:20Correct?
01:03:22That's right.
01:03:23Okay.
01:03:24So regarding the parental rights of Natalie Hallie Brody.
01:03:28What?
01:03:28Hallie?
01:03:29Her middle name is Hallie?
01:03:31She's your daughter, too.
01:03:32She's your daughter, too.
01:03:36Hey!
01:03:37Oh, my...
01:03:38She belongs here.
01:03:43I'm not going to raise someone else's kid.
01:03:47Ma'am?
01:03:49They signed the dotted line?
01:03:55It's really over.
01:04:02Now for the divorce papers.
01:04:21Is that it?
01:04:22Yes.
01:04:24Congratulations.
01:04:24In 24 hours, you'll be ex-husband and wife.
01:04:29It was nice being married to you, Hallie Boatner.
01:04:32Wish I could say the same, Craig Brody.
01:04:42Lulu, um, I'll be back in the city by tonight.
01:04:46Rebook my meetings and get me a pedicure appointment.
01:04:49Thank God.
01:04:50I thought you were never coming back.
01:04:52But then I remembered.
01:04:54You're Hallie Boatner.
01:04:55Your work is your life.
01:04:58My life.
01:05:00Right.
01:05:02Oh, um, by the way, did you ever do that favor I asked?
01:05:08Oh, you mean that favor where I went to 50 different toy stores all over the city just for one special kid?
01:05:15Yes, I did.
01:05:17Which, might I ask, who is this special child?
01:05:22My daughter.
01:05:23A monster truck 300?
01:05:31This is the best present ever.
01:05:35Who's next?
01:05:36Sam, why don't you get Natalie's present over with?
01:05:39We all know it's going to be the worst.
01:05:43Here it is.
01:05:44Look how tiny it is.
01:05:46Catch.
01:05:46It's probably a gum wrapper.
01:05:53Or a half-eaten apple.
01:05:55She's so poor, she probably can't afford anything else.
01:06:00Guys, be nice.
01:06:01At least if it's not a tree branch like last time.
01:06:04It was a walking stick and my dad made it.
01:06:09That'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.
01:06:19It'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.
01:06:38If you had a mom, she'd help you pick out a real present, not 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.
01:06:51Why 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.
01:07:13Nobody 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.
01:07:25I have a delivery for Sam Baker.
01:07:36That's me.
01:07:39These must be for my uncle.
01:07:41He'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 strength.
01:07:59A pickleball racket?
01:08:01Nintendo switch?
01:08:03A build room 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.
01:08:16Actually, these gifts are from Natalie's mom.
01:08:19My 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 isn't real.
01:08:31Well, someone very real signed for these purchase orders herself.
01:08:35All $15,000 worth of them.
01:08:37$15,000?
01:08:39How rich is she?
01:08:41Like 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.
01:08:48No, wait, no.
01:08:50Where are you going?
01:08:51Uh, it's okay.
01:08:52You can sit next to me.
01:08:53No, sit next to me.
01:08:56I want to be friends with you if you pay me.
01:08:59Enjoy the presents, loser.
01:09:03And your cake is dry, by the way.
01:09:11Daddy.
01:09:11I don't know if you can hear me, but I wanted you to know I'm going back to New York.
01:09:20Okay?
01:09:21You were right about Craig.
01:09:24He's a liar.
01:09:26And a cheat.
01:09:27And the man I'm about to marry?
01:09:30He's rich.
01:09:33Handsome.
01:09:35Successful.
01:09:35Exactly.
01:09:39The kind of man he would have meant for me.
01:09:41I'll miss you.
01:09:43Okay.
01:09:46You're running towards something.
01:09:48Back to your life.
01:09:50Go.
01:09:51Your father's in good hands.
01:09:53I promise.
01:09:54Would you look after Natalie for me?
01:09:57Of course.
01:09:57Of course.
01:09:57Thank you, Ms. Buildner.
01:10:15First class is to the left.
01:10:17Thank you so much.
01:10:19Natalie.
01:10:20Natalie.
01:10:21What are you doing here?
01:10:23I'm coming with you to New York.
01:10:25The flight departs in one minute.
01:10:33Come on, Natalie.
01:10:34I'll take you home.
01:10:41Oh, my God.
01:10:44Where'd you find her?
01:10:45She was at the airport.
01:10:46Airport?
01:10:48I wanted to go up to New York City with Mommy.
01:10:51She knows.
01:10:52Craig.
01:10:53Natalie, can you give us a minute?
01:10:58Okay, Daddy.
01:11:00Thank you for bringing her with you.
01:11:02Of course.
01:11:04But, um, before I go, I have a favor to ask you.
01:11:09Anything.
01:11:11You can find Natalie a mother.
01:11:13Just make sure it's not Trista.
01:11:15Okay?
01:11:18Okay.
01:11:21Okay.
01:11:22After all these years, he never gave up on us.
01:11:51After all these years, he never gave up on us.
01:12:00You probably could have come up with something better.
01:12:03No, it's perfect.
01:12:08How long have you been working on this?
01:12:11A few years now.
01:12:12Ever since I left?
01:12:13Ever 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?
01:12:32No, it doesn't.
01:12:33No, it doesn't.
01:12:35Hell yeah.
01:12:37Not 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, but I thought maybe you'd believe something you could see.
01:12:48Is that us?
01:12:58Yeah, it is.
01:12:59I love you
01:13:07And I never stopped
01:13:25I've missed this for so long
01:13:28I've wanted this for so long
01:13:30No
01:13:31No, we have to stop
01:13:33The papers are signed, Craig
01:13:37I'm engaged to someone else
01:13:40And it's too late to turn the clock back now
01:13:43Send me a picture when the town's rebuilt, okay?
01:13:49That's the thing
01:13:50It won't be
01:13:52What? What do you mean?
01:13:56Got this in the mail today
01:13:57My plans were approved
01:13:59But Dirk Diggle bought off all the local contractors
01:14:02And 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
01:14:10I don't have a choice
01:14:12What if I said
01:14:13I could help
01:14:16I could help
01:14:20Go back to New York
01:14:23Don't worry about someone's tiny little dream in a nowhere town
01:14:30This was our dream
01:14:31Craig
01:14:32Besides, you helped me out with their diddlers
01:14:38She said she's not interested, bro
01:14:43Now let me help you
01:14:46Lulu
01:14:56Um, change of plans
01:14:59Send all of our best contractors to Franklin, Tennessee
01:15:02Also, cancel my pedicure appointment
01:15:04Have you come to withdraw your application, Craig?
01:15:13I knew you couldn't afford it
01:15:15Well, actually, I just came to give you the deposit
01:15:17We break ground tomorrow
01:15:20We
01:15:22We said we would fix this town
01:15:25And that is exactly what we're going to do
01:15:29I never thought I'd see the day
01:15:34Where our dream became a reality
01:15:36No, it was always your dream
01:15:38I was just happy to help
01:15:39Lulu
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
01:15:54Right
01:15:59Allie
01:16:00Ned
01:16:01Hi
01:16:02What 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?
01:16:20No, um, no
01:16:21Ned, I am so sorry
01:16:22Is 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
01:16:31Get in
01:16:32I am taking you home
01:16:35Ned, I told you
01:16:38This project is important
01:16:40Hallie, you build multi-billion dollar skyscrapers
01:16:43Not whatever this is
01:16:45This matters
01:16:47A 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
01:16:58It 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
01:17:05Is your past
01:17:07I am your future
01:17:09Remember?
01:17:12You still
01:17:12Want to marry me?
01:17:15Even after that?
01:17:16Yes
01:17:16In fact, I want to move the wedding up
01:17:19Let's get married right now
01:17:20Let's get married right now
01:17:26Right now?
01:17:28Um
01:17:28Excuse me
01:17:30Hey
01:17:34Seeing these photos
01:17:36It made me realize
01:17:37How much you mean to me
01:17:39I can't lose you, Hallie
01:17:41I don't want to lose you
01:17:43Please
01:17:44Marry me
01:17:45You're gonna marry her?
01:17:51She was cheating on you
01:17:53Who are you?
01:17:57I'm the woman that took these photos
01:17:59So, you admit to sabotaging a political campaign
01:18:02What?
01:18:04No
01:18:05Ma'am, you're lucky the senator doesn't press charges
01:18:08Come with me
01:18:08What?
01:18:09No, no, no
01:18:10You will not win this one, Hallie
01:18:13No, don't touch me
01:18:14Ned, 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
01:18:33And marry me already
01:18:34What's the rush, Ned?
01:18:36The Post agreed to kill the cheating story
01:18:38If we give them something better
01:18:40Something
01:18:42Like
01:18:43A wedding, for example
01:18:45You want to marry me?
01:18:48For a story?
01:18:49Come on, Hallie
01:18:51We're gonna get married anyway
01:18:53What difference does it make?
01:18:54Was this
01:18:55Whole thing
01:18:56Just a publicity stunt?
01:18:59Our engagement?
01:19:01Our relationship?
01:19:02No
01:19:02Of course not
01:19:04I love you
01:19:05Then what's my favorite color, Ned?
01:19:08Oh, come on, Hallie
01:19:09My favorite flower?
01:19:11My favorite flower?
01:19:15I don't know
01:19:16Roses?
01:19:17Does it even matter?
01:19:19Yes, it does
01:19:20I'm sorry
01:19:24Ned, but I can't marry you
01:19:27Yes, you can
01:19:28Because if you don't
01:19:31I can make your life very difficult
01:19:33Starting with those big city contracts
01:19:36You just won
01:19:37I spent years of blood, sweat, and tears
01:19:39To get those contracts
01:19:40Once I'm elected
01:19:42I can make them all go poof
01:19:43I have friends in very high places, Hallie
01:19:48No, you wouldn't dare
01:19:49I worked my entire career
01:19:51For those
01:19:52Well, then the answer is simple
01:19:53Marry me
01:19:55We'll lose everything
01:19:58Come on, Hallie
01:19:59This is not a difficult choice
01:20:02You're hurting me
01:20:03If you think this is pain
01:20:04You haven't felt anything
01:20:05Get off
01:20:06Yet
01:20:06Neither of you
01:20:08My suit
01:20:21My jaw
01:20:22You broke my face
01:20:24Good
01:20:25Looks better that way
01:20:27In my opinion
01:20:27I have you arrested
01:20:29For assaulting a government official
01:20:31There isn't a cop
01:20:32Who will side with you over me
01:20:34Not in this town
01:20:35And by the way
01:20:38Her favorite color is blue
01:20:39And her favorite flower
01:20:41The miracle
01:20:42Is it blooms from spring to fall
01:20:45There you go
01:20:47I hope that suit isn't too expensive
01:20:49This suit is worth more than you make in a year
01:20:52Isn't that something?
01:20:55It's time for you to leave, Senator
01:20:57Come on, Hallie
01:20:58You'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
01:21:06But he is not a nobody
01:21:09In fact, if I had to choose a son-in-law
01:21:13I'd pick him over you any day of the week
01:21:15Daddy
01:21:17Hallie, I am so sorry for everything
01:21:21Starting with meddling in your marriage
01:21:24Meddling?
01:21:26I'm the one that made Craig divorce
01:21:28I told him if he really loved you
01:21:31He'd let you go
01:21:32He did
01:21:34I thought you deserved more than a small town
01:21:39More than a local boy like him
01:21:42She does, sir
01:21:44Come on, Hallie
01:21:46He 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
01:21:57I 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
01:22:06You owe it to me to go through this wedding
01:22:08I've had about enough of people telling me who I should and shouldn't marry
01:22:13Get out of here, Ned
01:22:17It's over between us
01:22:26Fine
01:22:29But I hope you know what you're giving up, Hallie
01:22:32I most certainly do
01:22:36It was too big anyway
01:22:42Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
01:22:46What about me?
01:22:48I'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
01:22:58Oh my gosh, ew
01:23:01I owe you both an apology for trying to play God
01:23:14Daddy
01:23:16Hear me out
01:23:17When I was in the hospital
01:23:19I hooked up to all those machines
01:23:21I just, I kept having the same wonderful dream
01:23:24This dream where you were still together
01:23:27This dream where you were both living the life you deserve
01:23:32I took that future and that life away from you
01:23:36Hallie
01:23:38Craig never wanted to divorce you
01:23:41Hallie
01:23:43Craig never wanted to divorce you
01:23:46How?
01:23:48This should be enough
01:23:49I want her on that plane
01:23:52Alone
01:23:53Whatever it takes
01:23:55I tried to pay him off
01:23:58And this is what he did with the money
01:24:02I've never seen someone work so hard for love
01:24:06Is this true, Craig?
01:24:10Mm-hmm
01:24:10Why 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
01:24:19You were protecting me
01:24:22That's right
01:24:24You two are the only family you have left
01:24:27Unless
01:24:29You 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 some
01:24:43Can make me the happiest man in the world
01:24:46If you would marry me again
01:24:48Yeah?
01:24:50Yes
01:24:50Yes, Craig, I'll marry you
01:24:52Oh
01:24:53Perfect
01:24:54It always was
01:25:01Mommy, Daddy, I knew you would come back together
01:25:05Oh, she did
01:25:07Come on
01:25:07Come on
01:25:08Up we go
01:25:09Dale
01:25:10You know what?
01:25:10That wasn't such a crazy dream
01:25:12I'd like you to meet your granddaughter
01:25:13Natalie Hallie Brody
01:25:15My dream came true
01:25:17Hi, Grandpa
01:25:19Hallie
01:25:20This is crazy
01:25:22But if we run
01:25:23We 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
01:25:30Okay, what do we think?
01:25:33Who's up for a wedding?
01:25:35Yeah?
01:25:36Yeah?
01:25:38Yeah?
01:25:42Hi
01:25:42Um, we would like to get remarried
01:25:46I can't accept your remarriage
01:25:50That's ridiculous
01:25:51Uh, what?
01:25:53Why?
01:25:54I can't accept your remarriage
01:25:56That's ridiculous
01:25:57Uh, what?
01:25:59Why?
01:26:00Well, because you were never really divorced in the first place
01:26:02Look right here
01:26:03You signed your name
01:26:05Hallie Bildner
01:26:07But your name is
01:26:08And always has been
01:26:09Hallie Brody
01:26:10Will you look at that?
01:26:12Wait, so, um
01:26:14That means the
01:26:16Custody papers?
01:26:18Well, that's, uh
01:26:20That's void
01:26:21So, you're still
01:26:24Natalie's parents
01:26:25Mommy!
01:26:31Daddy
01:26:32I forgive you
01:26:42I've got seven years to make up for
01:26:54I just want to thank you all for your faith in me
01:27:11And as your new mayor
01:27:12I promise to work tirelessly
01:27:14To bring this town back to what it once was
01:27:17Starting with
01:27:19The community center
01:27:21That Craig and Hallie so generously built
01:27:24Thank you
01:27:26We love you, Mirwarta
01:27:27Love you
01:27:28What do you think I'm going to talk to you?
01:27:36I don't know
01:27:37I don't know
01:27:38I don't know
01:27:38I don't know
01:27:39I don't know
