00:01:10You can have mine.
00:01:11No, I couldn't.
00:01:12Yeah, you could.
00:01:13I've seen you in class.
00:01:14You are brilliant.
00:01:15You're gonna get way more use out of this than I ever would.
00:01:16Ow!

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