00:01:06No!
00:01:07No!
00:01:08No!
00:01:09This is going to cost a fortune to replace!
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 going to get way more use out of this than I ever would.
00:01:16No!
00:01:17No!
00:01:18No!

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