00:00They're getting us early in the season this year. We're looking at sustained gusts of over 97 miles an hour.
00:30We should head over to Panjus. She's got a basement.
00:35Panjus?
00:59Panjus?
01:01Panjus!
01:03Panjus!
01:13Panjus!
01:18Lord, I need a little help right now!
01:20I got him!
01:22Oh!
01:29The tower is south, there's a bad group of the valley. This may be the storm of the century.
01:33Reports are to you know as catching dams, or if it's still heading our way.
01:36If you can hear this, take shelter immediately. The time for evacuation is over.
01:40Looks like we'll be here on that.
01:44Um, I'm gonna...
01:49Fight me?
01:54All you guys in town...
01:57calling a troll.
02:01I think it's about time for you and me to, uh,
02:04get the hay.
02:05Seriously?
02:07Yeah.
02:09Now, what I remember, I remember being here
02:13for one of your birthday parties.
02:16You know what? I...
02:19I also remember running into you at the, uh, the picnic.
02:23Yeah, about five years ago now.
02:27All right.
02:29Everybody ready?
02:30Ready.
02:31Set...
02:32Go!
02:33Inside!
02:34Outside!
02:35Inside!
02:36Inside!
02:37It's like, oh, it's funny!
02:38I know, just...
02:39Stop, stop, stop!
02:40No!
02:41I'm sorry!
02:43No!
02:44I spoke too soon.
02:45I thought we were gonna win.
02:47Fine.
02:48Hurry up now.
02:50Today's been really fun.
02:52Yeah.
02:53I've even enjoyed losing that race.
02:55I'm just gonna go out on a limb here, but I think this would be really fun to do again next week.
03:09Fair's not gonna be back till end of the month.
03:13Oh, I know, not the fair.
03:14The fair.
03:16Oh, I just meant coffee or...
03:19Or a movie or something.
03:21I'll get the tickets, you get the popcorn.
03:26Uh...
03:29I don't think so.
03:30Oh, Lauren, look.
03:31I did you a favor, believe me.
03:32You were a school teacher.
03:33And, and, and people would have talked, I promise.
03:34They talked anyway.
03:35No, but the stories would have been much different.
03:36Yeah, but I would not have cared.
03:38I'm sorry.
03:40I'm sorry.
03:46No.
03:47No.
03:48No.
03:50No.
03:52No.
03:56No.
03:58No.
04:03No.
04:05No.
04:06Lauren, I'm so sorry.
04:17This is my house.
04:20This is where I grew up.
04:21Like, all of my memories are here.
04:23Lauren, a lot of this stuff isn't ruined.
04:26You know, you just dry it out,
04:29get the water off of it, the mold sets in.
04:31I guess.
04:33You guess?
04:33No, things are just things, Lauren.
04:39No, but they were my things, though.
04:41Right, but they weren't you.
04:44They weren't the answer, they weren't your parents.
04:48I know, you're right.
04:50When I was a little girl,
04:52I would sit there,
04:53and I'd watch my parents fix everything.
04:56And then I grew up, and I learned how to do the same.
04:58My dad and I built that barn that kept us safe last night.
05:03And I have watched hours and hours of home rental shows.
05:09I'm going to rebuild this house myself.
05:13Yeah?
05:14Yes.
05:15I know I can do it.
05:18So Lauren, what are you going to do next?
05:20First, I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself.
05:27I know there are plenty of folks out there
05:29who are way worse off than I am.
05:31I was actually thinking about that earlier this morning.
05:35I thought about maybe going into town,
05:39checking everybody, check the damage.
05:42Well, let's go do that.
05:45Yeah.
05:47All right.
05:51All right, why don't we fill on a change of clothes?
05:53Yeah.
05:54What do I do?
06:00Colin, I'm sorry about last night.
06:02What about?
06:03It's bringing up the past.
06:06I shouldn't have done that.
06:07I'm sorry for that day at the fair.
06:10Thank you, but you are allowed to date whoever you want.
06:15Believe me, you did dodge a bullet with me.
06:18Okay?
06:19Being single is kind of my lot in life, I guess.
06:21But what about you?
06:24Anyone you're seeing?
06:26Yeah, my boyfriend, Dane.
06:29Well, he's not a fiancé, actually.
06:31Well, kind of.
06:33Kind of?
06:35It's a kind of fiancé.
06:38What's this?
06:42Frida?
06:43Colin?
06:43Lauren?
06:44Hey, Frida.
06:45How are you and Hector doing?
06:46We're good.
06:47Can't say as much for Mayor Wallace.
06:49Did you hear?
06:50No.
06:51What happened?
06:52Heart attack.
06:53He was checking on some people and a tree fell.
06:56Landed on the hood of his car, just like that.
06:59He didn't make it.
07:00There's never been a storm like this recorded in the county's history.
07:03We're all praying that there aren't any more casualties.
07:07I can't believe this.
07:09Um, thank you so much, Frida.
07:13Drop safe.
07:14You too, Colin.
07:15Roads are in bad shape.
07:21Hey, Sutter.
07:25It's Colin.
07:26Yeah, no.
07:26How are you?
07:27It looked pretty bad up there last night.
07:29Yeah, no, uh, not a scratch.
07:31I'm relieved.
07:32How's Colin?
07:32Mom, not a scratch.
07:34His words.
07:34He's fine.
07:35I, um, I spent the night at Lauren Christensen's barn.
07:40Excuse me?
07:42You want to explain?
07:42Uh, I'm fine.
07:44But, um, her house was destroyed in the storm.
07:52That's awful.
07:53Oh, and good of you to take care of her.
07:55Oh, no.
07:55She's actually the one who took care of me.
07:58She actually got me in out of the storm.
08:00Kept me dry.
08:02How did you end up at her place?
08:04I mean, I know you got that property up there next to hers, but...
08:06Hey, uh, Sutter, listen.
08:08I gotta go.
08:09This is the only line that we have.
08:11Okay, uh, just tell me one thing.
08:13She's still as good looking as I remember?
08:17Better.
08:20You'd be good to her, Colin.
08:21Yeah, no, Mom, I love her.
08:23I already did.
08:24Later.
08:24See ya.
08:28So, how did the Shumaks make out?
08:30The road to their barn washed out completely,
08:33but they got their animals out early, so...
08:36They did.
08:39That's some good news, I guess.
08:42Hey, going back to what I said earlier
08:44about helping you rebuild your house,
08:48it'd be no trouble.
08:49It's okay, I can figure it out.
08:51It's not like I think that you need a man's help
08:54or anything like that.
08:55It's just, you know what I do for a living, right?
08:58Yes, you make furniture.
09:00I'm a carpenter.
09:01Pretty good carpenter, actually.
09:02And so helping you with your house
09:04would be no problem.
09:05It's a really nice offer, but no thank you.
09:09The phone's free, so I'm going to call my fiancé.
09:13You have Dane?
09:25Hey, it's me.
09:27Lauren, my assistant's been trying you for hours.
09:29Are you okay?
09:30Yes, I'm fine.
09:32Um, but my entire house was destroyed.
09:36And sorry, I would have called earlier,
09:38but all the power's out,
09:40all the phone lines are down.
09:45Your house was destroyed?
09:47But my Lauren's okay.
09:48I'm fine.
09:49I promise.
09:50You should move into my Manhattan condo
09:52while I'm still closing this deal.
09:54Then when I'm done, I'll meet you there.
09:55You want me to leave at a time like this?
09:58Dane, I can't do that.
09:59The community needs every single one of us here right now.
10:03Look, I just want you to be safe.
10:07That's sweet.
10:08But I'm going to stay here,
10:11and I also want to rebuild my family home myself.
10:16Listen, give me a couple hours.
10:18I'm going to talk to my assistant.
10:19He's going to find you the best crew in the tri-state area.
10:22They'll be there this afternoon to start construction.
10:24A crew?
10:25No, no, no, no.
10:27It's way too early for any of that.
10:28You're going to supervise, of course.
10:31Dane Richards, you have zero listening skills.
10:34My grandparents built that family home,
10:36and I'm going to do the same.
10:38Lauren, Lauren, I'm just trying to help.
10:40You're a schoolteacher.
10:41You can't build a house by yourself.
10:42I know it takes a team to rebuild a home,
10:45but that team starts with me.
10:51Hey, how are you in here?
10:53Excuse me?
10:56Sorry, I was rude.
10:58And that is why we need to get people out there now
11:00starting the cleanup efforts.
11:02This is crazy.
11:04The council has made a list of places to start.
11:07Nathan.
11:10I know you're doing your best with Mayor Wallace,
11:14gone and all,
11:15but we need to organize search parties
11:17to go out there and find the people who need help.
11:20I just spoke with the people from FEMA less than an hour ago.
11:27They need the roads clear so that they can deliver the relief supplies.
11:30Food, water, medicine.
11:32Right.
11:32Search and rescue is the main priority right now.
11:36You said to yourself that FEMA was not going to be here for several days.
11:39This is not about you, Colin.
11:41Please sit down.
11:42Nathan, given the circumstances, I feel like we just set aside our differences.
11:46Now here, we look out for each other.
11:49That's what we do.
11:52Okay, so there could be people out there without clean water, without power.
11:55They could be injured.
11:56They could be sick.
11:58We've got to have search parties to get out there and find those people.
12:01Sure.
12:01Our fire department is out there right now, doing exactly just that.
12:07Great.
12:08Well, we can help them.
12:09How many firefighters are there?
12:10We have five well-trained professionals.
12:14Five.
12:15Nathan, that's a lot of ground to cover.
12:18And we should split those five up.
12:20And each one of those firefighters can be in charge of a small search party of volunteers.
12:24We could search the entire town in a day, a day and a half at max.
12:27So we'd have five search parties?
12:30Five.
12:31Fine.
12:32The council will radio out to the professionals, and if the firefighters agree, the council will allow it.
12:48Paige.
12:52Oh, I'm so happy to see you.
12:55I've been looking everywhere for you.
12:57Oh, we tried to get you.
12:58I'm so glad you two made it through the storm okay.
13:02Oh, we're fine.
13:03We're fine.
13:04Hey, how are you and Mark?
13:05Oh, we just lost the porch and the shed.
13:07How about your place?
13:11Not as bad as some.
13:13You know, my heart goes out to Carolina Santos.
13:15Oh, mine too.
13:18Hey.
13:18Oh, thank you so much.
13:20Was that Colin I saw you waving at just now?
13:22Oh, yeah.
13:23Yeah, he's helping out with one of the search and rescue teams.
13:26Yeah, I've heard he was helping, but why are you waving at each other?
13:31You hate him.
13:32No, I don't hate him.
13:34Oh, really?
13:34I have heard you say the actual words.
13:37I hate Colin Tron.
13:39I'm just worried about him.
13:42Paige, I'm worried about everybody.
13:44It's dangerous out there.
13:46There are live power lines down.
13:47There are complete road closures.
13:49Like...
13:50So when exactly did the hate stop?
13:55Well, last night, we spent the night together in the barn and...
13:59Laura!
14:00Tell me everything.
14:02No, nothing happens.
14:04No, we...
14:05We just got to know each other a little better, that's all.
14:09Okay, let's help with the paw bug.
14:12And you are telling me every detail.
14:15Come on.
14:31Nothing.
14:32Useless technology.
14:37Help!
14:39Help me!
14:42Anybody!
14:44Help me!
14:50Mr. Rodriguez, are you in there?
14:53Yes!
14:54I'm here!
14:55I got knocked off my wheelchair!
15:00My leg is stuck!
15:02Stay calm.
15:03Yeah.
15:03We have the rescue team here.
15:05We're hearing this to bring you.
15:06We'll get you out.
15:08Hey!
15:11Bless you!
15:13You've been stuck here for hours.
15:16Hey!
15:16All right.
15:17We're here now.
15:18Okay?
15:19We'll have you out shortly.
15:19We'll have you in there.
15:20Good.
15:20Mm-hmm.
15:22Mm-hmm.
15:22Mm-hmm.
15:30So, did you hear?
15:32Mm-hmm.
15:34What, the chicken's a little dry, but the mac and cheese is to die for?
15:38Mm-hmm.
15:38Nope.
15:39Thank you so much.
15:41Your boyfriend's a hero.
15:43Oh, yeah?
15:44Dane's in Australia.
15:45What could he have done?
15:46No.
15:47You're a new boyfriend.
15:50I'm an engaged woman.
15:52So, you officially accepted Dane's proposal then?
15:57Not exactly.
15:58See?
16:00I love Dane.
16:03I have no interest in Colin except his friends, and besides, he made it very clear in the past
16:07that he was never interested either.
16:12Wait, Hero?
16:14He saved Mr. Rodriguez.
16:16Hugo fell out of his wheelchair and spent the entire storm on the floor of his bedroom.
16:22He was lucky that Colin found him.
16:25Wait, is he gonna be okay?
16:27Yeah.
16:28Joel, he's a firefighter, said Colin cleared the debris and carried Hugo out to the team.
16:35Joel said, if they hadn't split up like Colin suggested, they wouldn't have got to Hugo for a few more days.
16:43And who knows what would have happened by then?
16:47We have got ourselves a real, live hero.
16:56Well, if you're not interested, maybe I should ask him out.
17:00I think you should stop talking and eat some chicken.
17:02I hear it's drunk.
17:04Let's try.
17:05Let's try.
17:07Let's try.
17:09Let's try.
17:10Let's try.
17:11Let's try.
17:12Let's try.
17:13Let's try.
17:14Let's try.
17:15Let's try.
17:16Let's try.
17:17Let's try.
17:18Let's try.
17:19Let's try.
17:20Let's try.
17:21Let's try.
17:22Let's try.
17:23Let's try.
17:24Let's try.
17:25Let's try.
17:26Let's try.
17:27Let's try.
17:28Let's try.
17:29Let's try.
17:30Let's try.
17:31Let's try.
17:32Let's try.
17:33Let's try.
17:34Let's try.
17:35How bad was it out there?
17:49More tough than bad.
17:52Why do I feel like you chose the areas that were hardest hit to search?
17:57I guess I should have thought that one through a little bit more.
18:02You must be exhausted.
18:03Compared to what we did.
18:06Answering phones, ordering a few supplies.
18:10Oh, come on.
18:11I saw well-fed children in clean clothes that looked very happy.
18:15I know that was all you're doing.
18:18So, tell me about this fiancée.
18:22Dane?
18:25Um, Dane is an architect.
18:28He's actually in Australia right now.
18:29Um, he's working on a big project and, um, and then he'll be back here.
18:37Is he a good man?
18:40Yes.
18:41Yes.
18:42He's very good to me.
18:43But.
18:48But.
18:49Well, when you, when you're with the person you're supposed to marry, you have this gut feeling, right?
18:56Right.
18:58Unless he isn't.
18:59Oh, no, no, no.
19:04It's okay.
19:04Don't be silly.
19:06You're freezing.
19:08Just take it.
19:11You're welcome.
19:12You should run for mayor.
19:15Because I gave you my jacket?
19:17No.
19:18Although I would vote for that guy.
19:20The way you corralled the search and rescue team.
19:25And how you helped Mr. Rodriguez, it's...
19:28Listen, Joel saved Mr. Rodriguez.
19:30Okay, I just moved some things out of the way.
19:34That's all.
19:35I'm not so sure that Nathan is the person for that.
19:39You should think about it.
19:41Yeah.
19:42I think I'll, uh, leave running this town to better men.
19:47Who said that?
19:48You send whoever said that my way and I'll give them a good talking to.
19:52Oh, really?
19:53Mm-hmm.
19:53What would you say?
19:55In under 72 hours, a man who thought I hated him...
19:59Hey, you did hate me.
20:02Shh, I'm talking.
20:03Okay.
20:05This man saved my dog, helped scores of people, and offered to rebuild my family house.
20:13Which you refused.
20:15Which I appreciated.
20:17It's the intent that matters.
20:20Okay.
20:21And he offered me this lovely jacket because he thought I was cold.
20:28You know what?
20:28If you're not cold, I'd be more than happy to take this jacket back.
20:32That's fine.
20:32Hey, Dane.
20:37My beautiful Lauren.
20:38How's everything flood-wise this morning?
20:39It was a beautiful day down under.
20:41Yeah, we're doing okay.
20:43It's...
20:44Things are still a little bit of a disaster, but we're all pulling through.
20:47That's my girl.
20:49So, uh, when are you getting here?
20:50Coming in?
20:51Sorry?
20:51Yeah, yeah.
20:53When is your project wrapping up so you can come help?
20:55Help?
20:55Happy to help.
20:56Just give me the number.
20:57I'll wire you the cash.
20:59Cash?
21:00No, no, no, no.
21:01Dane, this is not about cash, okay?
21:03I don't need money.
21:04Dane, I need you here.
21:06Dancer, come on.
21:25Stand on the phone, will ya?
21:26You want to help Tony with the lumber?
21:30All right, you got it.
21:30Excuse me.
21:32Hello.
21:32Hi.
21:33What's going on here?
21:35Looks like we're rebuilding somebody's home.
21:37Yes, this is my house.
21:39Ah, you must be Lauren Richards.
21:44It's Lauren Christensen.
21:45Did a man named Dane put you out to this?
21:50Mr. Richards hired us, yes.
21:52Okay.
21:53I need everybody off of my property right now.
21:56Excuse me, miss?
22:01You have Dane.
22:02Dane, what is going on on my property right now?
22:05Lauren, guess what?
22:06I got my assistant to get a great crew.
22:08They're going to be there any minute now.
22:09Oh, yeah, they're all working here right now.
22:11Great.
22:12They said they'd be fast.
22:13No, Dane, I told you.
22:15I wanted to rebuild my family home myself.
22:18But I just wanted to support.
22:21Dane, you are a great guy.
22:24You really are.
22:25You have treated me like gold.
22:27But there is one thing that has become crystal clear to me,
22:30and that is that you have never treated me like an equal.
22:34You know, all my thoughts, all my feelings
22:36have been completely second to yours.
22:38What?
22:38Lauren, I...
22:40Like you never listened.
22:41That time that I told you I didn't want to go to London.
22:43or that I didn't need that new car
22:46or that I will never give up being a teacher.
22:53Dane, I can't do this anymore.
22:58I can't marry you.
23:05Lauren.
23:07Lauren?
23:07In my moment of weakness, I need something free.
23:10I can't do it.
23:10I can't do it.
23:10It's a great day.
23:11I can't do it.
23:11I can't do it.
23:12I can't do it.
23:12E, I don't do it.
23:16I can't do it.
23:22In my moment of weakness
23:34I need something to free this
23:39Heaviness on my heart that I can't shake
23:45I still carry it with me
23:54Feeling like I'm unworthy
23:58And the thing I need most is the hardest to take
24:08Where the shadows grow tall
24:12And your back's up against the wall
24:18In this moment it's clear
24:22In the darkest of times
24:26Love begins here
24:29You know, you really should get that dog a leash.
24:34Yeah, well, add it to the list.
24:37Holy cow. Lauren, how did you build this this fast?
24:43Dane made a few calls.
24:45That's a good call.
24:49You think?
24:50Yeah, absolutely.
24:52I've heard you go on about a dozen times about building this yourself, so it's clearly important to you.
24:58Wow. I agree. Thank you.
25:03Hey, listen, also, I need to apologize about last night.
25:08You know, we, um, we almost...
25:10We almost, but we didn't.
25:13Right.
25:13Right? That's the important thing.
25:14Yeah, because, you know, emotions were high.
25:17I don't know.
25:18I guess that just...
25:19Plus, who would have thought?
25:21The sanctuary, at night, would be that nice, shall we say.
25:28And the stained glass windows were really nice as well.
25:34It won't happen again.
25:37I bet.
25:38Good call.
25:40So, what's next for you in this house, Miss Lauren?
25:46This house...
25:47Well, um, actually, I was hoping to recruit a nice, strong person to help me lift some heavy furniture.
25:55I guess that's me.
25:57All right, just a few feet back there.
25:59Pivot to your right.
26:00Right.
26:01And we'll just go right to that wall.
26:05Okay, right here?
26:06Yep.
26:09Amazing.
26:12Okay, I just need your help with this trunk over here.
26:16One or two things, huh?
26:28You okay?
26:35Yeah.
26:36Oh, who doesn't want a chance to be a model, right?
26:39I did want to do it myself, though.
26:42Listen, I understand.
26:43But Dane's people, they did an amazing job, okay?
26:48Because they left the entire foundation.
26:50They put up the perimeter wall so you can completely design the layout.
26:54I mean, you can move the kitchen from over here to right here to get better sunlight during the day.
27:01Right here, you could add a little breakfast nook.
27:04And, uh, this, if you extend the mudroom out a little bit, you have an extra bedroom.
27:10Bedroom or an office.
27:11Or an office.
27:11Anything you want.
27:13Colin, these are good ideas.
27:15I think they're all for tomorrow's work, Bill.
27:17Sounds good.
27:18I think I'm going to hit the hay.
27:20Literally.
27:21What do you mean?
27:21I think I'm going to spend the night in the barn again tonight.
27:27By yourself?
27:29Well, with dance, sir.
27:31Yeah, no.
27:32I wasn't implying that I would stay with you.
27:34I just, um, why not go back to the relief center?
27:37You know why?
27:38Because a really nice guy helped me fix up my bedroom in there.
27:43And I'd like to embrace that.
27:45Well, I'm going back there tonight myself.
27:47So if you need a ride, I'd be more than happy.
27:49Why?
27:49I thought your house is fine.
27:50Yeah, no, it's fine.
27:51I'm just going to go back in case anybody needs any help from them.
27:53And think about it.
27:55Here, you have no running water.
27:57You don't have a working washroom.
28:00I think the relief center will be a better idea.
28:02So come back.
28:04Get there with the townspeople and myself.
28:08You flipped me.
28:10That's good.
28:12Come on, dad.
28:12Come on.
28:38This is what you're going to claim to.
28:41In this world, in this life.
28:45You need someone to hold you.
28:48To stay young and stay free.
28:51In this world, in this life.
28:58You need someone to love you.
29:01This is what a good thing feels like.
29:07In this world, in this life.
29:11You need someone to love you.
29:14This is what a good thing feels like.
29:19What a good thing feels like.
29:22All right.
29:23Got your little lunch.
29:27You're welcome.
29:30So, I have a question for you.
29:32Okay.
29:33Mr. Colin Ladies Man.
29:36How come you haven't found a lady for yourself yet?
29:40Honestly?
29:42Honestly.
29:42My dad.
29:48I remember your dad.
29:50He left a few years back, no?
29:52Yeah.
29:54After he cheated on my mother more than once.
29:58I was the youngest of five boys.
30:00And my mom was...
30:02She didn't have the time or the energy to supervise me.
30:06And younger Colin might have taken advantage of that.
30:10But my mom, after taking care of five boys, after cooking dinners and cleaning the house and going through letters from my teachers,
30:18she would actually sit down and tutor me every night.
30:20And it worked.
30:24I got better grades.
30:27Moms.
30:28You gotta love them.
30:30Dad's not so much.
30:33Apparently mine was spending time all over town.
30:38And my mom, she never talked about it.
30:43One night we were at my brother's wedding.
30:47We're sitting there, just the two of us.
30:50And she finally told me everything that he had done.
30:53How badly he had hurt her.
30:57And that was the night.
31:00That was the night that I promised her I would never be like him.
31:05I would never be my father.
31:08And I might have been the resident ladies' man, as you put it, but I never cheated.
31:14Never.
31:18But you can't spend your whole life pushing people away, though, Colin.
31:23That's worked so far.
31:25But...
31:25Hey, listen, I want to make a suggestion, okay?
31:27We've made a lot of progress on this house.
31:30Great progress.
31:31Yes, we have.
31:32But we have some pretty big jobs coming up.
31:36Like roofing, electrical, plumbing.
31:40So, with your permission, I have some friends who could probably help you with that and get you in your home a little quicker.
31:51Okay, I could be open to that.
31:52Huh?
31:53Lauren, I don't know if you remember any of my old friends, but they just got done clearing the main road up to the highway.
32:04You got Dev.
32:06Oh.
32:06You got Sean and Ciro.
32:09Yeah, yeah.
32:10Dev, good to see you again.
32:11How have you been?
32:12Hey, take it easy.
32:13She's got a fiance, you know.
32:14I'm just saying hi.
32:15Guys, this means so much to me, honestly.
32:19Thank you so, so much.
32:20Now, I'll tell Ciro what shingles to lift first.
32:23We'll go ahead and get started.
32:24Come on.
32:26Come on.
32:28Come on.
32:29Come on.
32:30Come on.
32:31Come on.
32:32Come on.
32:33Come on.
32:34Come on.
32:35Come on.
32:36Come on.
32:37Come on.
32:38Come on.
32:39Come on.
32:40Come on.
32:41Come on.
32:42You stole my heart.
33:05What's up?
33:07Hey.
33:09So, um, you and Colin?
33:12We're friends.
33:16What?
33:17Okay.
33:18I have a fiance.
33:19Oh.
33:20Okay.
33:21Why?
33:22I'm just, you know, I thought I was getting a vibe.
33:32No.
33:33No vibe.
33:34Okay.
33:35No vibe.
33:36Why?
33:37Did you, did you pick up on a vibe or something?
33:43What is this grade school?
33:44Should I pass a note for you during math class?
33:46Should I pass a note for you during math class?
33:49Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
33:53Well, Colin kind of likes you.
33:55Really?
33:56Hmm.
33:57And you kind of like him?
33:58Yeah.
33:59I, I really like Colin as a friend.
34:01Seriously, he's been amazing to me throughout this whole storm situation.
34:15No.
34:16No.
34:17No.
34:18No.
34:19As a little kid, you liked him.
34:22As a big kid, you liked him.
34:24When you moved to Georgia, you liked him.
34:27And when he moved back, no surprises there, you liked him.
34:36I've got a fiance.
34:37Okay, Lauren.
34:38Thanks so much, you guys.
34:40Wow.
34:41I cannot believe how much progress we've made on this house.
34:58Well, the Amish can build a barn in a day, so by that standard, we're kind of far behind
35:03schedule.
35:04No, but seriously, your friends are really awesome.
35:09That zero can really lift heavy things.
35:12Yeah, they're all right, I guess.
35:14They're all right, and you're all right.
35:17Just take credit for what an awesome friend you've been.
35:22Friend, huh?
35:25Yes, you are helping me to rebuild my house.
35:29Well, I think I'm going to spend the night here tonight.
35:33There's no interior of the house.
35:35How are you going to do that?
35:36No, no, not in the house.
35:37In the barn.
35:38Plus, the house has running water, gas, everything I need.
35:42By yourself in the barn?
35:44No, with Dancer.
35:45Right, pup?
35:46All right.
35:47Well, I'll be staying the night at my place.
35:50So, you know, if you ever needed a place to crash.
35:55Are you trying to spend the night with me?
35:58No.
35:59I'm just letting you know, if you didn't feel like staying at the barn by yourself, you
36:03have a place, so.
36:05Well, that's sweet of you, but I'm a big girl, I got this.
36:09Just offering as a friend.
36:11Right, because that's what we are.
36:12Exactly.
36:13Friends.
36:18Okay, well, I'm going to wash up at the house and then head to the barn.
36:23Yeah, great.
36:24I'm going to get in the truck and head back to the cabin.
36:26All right, you can take this.
36:29Oh, sure.
36:30All right, well, good night, friend.
36:34Good night, friend.
36:35Good night.
36:36Friend.
37:04Friends.
37:05Friends.
37:06Friends.
37:07Friends.
37:08Colin, if she is asleep in a barn by herself, what would your mother think if she knew this?
37:29You know what, he's not even that good looking.
37:33No matter how many times, Zero thinks he catches me checking him out.
37:37He's not.
37:40He's so amazing though, he just doesn't see it.
37:45He saved entire families out there.
37:50He helped rebuild my house.
37:58Friends, my fight.
38:00That's it.
38:01That's it.
38:02That's it.
38:03That's it.
38:05Lauren!
38:06Lauren!
38:07Lauren!
38:08Lauren!
38:09Lauren!
38:10Lauren?
38:12Hello?
38:13Hey, Colin.
38:14It's me.
38:15It's Lauren.
38:17Why aren't you answering your door?
38:18Why aren't you answering your door?
38:19Wait, you're...
38:20You're at my place?
38:26Lauren?
38:38Hello?
38:40Hey, Colin, it's me, it's Lauren.
38:42Um, why aren't you answering your door?
38:45Wait, you're at my place?
38:47Wait, you're not at your place?
38:49No, no, I'm at your place.
38:51What are you doing there?
38:53I, uh...
38:56I was worried about you.
38:58Yeah.
38:59You started coming?
39:01Check on you.
39:02What are you doing at my place?
39:03I got scared.
39:05Uh, yeah, I just, I was scared staying in the creepy barn by myself.
39:08You said it wasn't creepy.
39:10No, I know, but it turns out it is.
39:12Oh.
39:14You're at my place, I'm at your place.
39:18Yeah, that's pretty funny.
39:20Why don't you just, why don't you just crash at my place tonight?
39:23And...
39:24I'll stay here.
39:26Yeah, no, that, um, that sounds great.
39:30Very reasonable.
39:31Yeah, um, the, um...
39:34The key to the, the front door is there on the window seal.
39:38We'll all have a big laugh about this tomorrow, Lauren.
39:41I know.
39:42Okay, goodnight, Colin.
39:44It's my sleep, Lauren.
39:45It's my sleep, Lauren.
40:05Wow.
40:06I remember this.
40:30Who's got a fiancé?
40:37You can't do this.
40:42You can't do this.
41:00Dancer?
41:06Is that you, buddy?
41:14What are you doing, Colin?
41:15Sleeping in a pink frilly bed.
41:18That's what you're doing.
41:30Lohan? What are you doing here?
41:40I came here to talk to you.
41:43Okay. Is everything all right?
41:46No, actually, it's not.
41:48Okay.
41:51I... I really like you, Colin.
41:55I really like you.
41:57And, actually, I came to apologize to you, too,
42:00for hating you all of those years after that stupid day at the picnic.
42:06Because I was just embarrassed.
42:08And I was really insecure.
42:10And I spent years trying to avoid you,
42:13thinking that you were this horrible person,
42:14even though you're not at all.
42:17I was a horrible person.
42:20You're not a horrible person, Colin.
42:24You are smart.
42:26Right?
42:26You're kind.
42:28You're a leader.
42:30And, okay, I saw the furniture in your house.
42:33Wow. Talk about talented.
42:36And you listen to me.
42:39You care about what I have to say.
42:43You care about other people, Colin.
42:45Do you know how rare that is?
42:46I like you.
42:52And if I'm being honest, I think you like me, too.
42:58Lauren, you have a fiancé.
43:01I mean, I saw his pictures up in your bedroom.
43:04Your barn room.
43:06Whatever.
43:06You two seem incredibly happy together.
43:10I mean, you deserve him.
43:13All right?
43:13Because I was awful.
43:14No, you were just pushing me away like you're doing right now.
43:18Lauren, how could I not like you?
43:21Tell me.
43:22You're at the top of the class.
43:26The best catch.
43:28The most beautiful woman in town.
43:30You dedicate your whole life to helping children.
43:32You're smart, talented.
43:37You're an absolute boss with a nail gun.
43:40You give back to other people.
43:42And you deserve the best.
43:45And, Lauren, that's not me.
43:47History has shown that it's not me.
43:50You deserve Dane.
43:53I broke up with Dane.
43:56When?
43:57That day that he brought the crew over and I asked him not to.
44:03Why did you do that, Lauren?
44:05My gut.
44:07And because he never listened to me.
44:10Why don't you say something sooner?
44:12Because I was so tired of relationships, Colin.
44:18You know?
44:19And then there's this incredible guy standing right in front of me.
44:23And I couldn't help but fall for him.
44:36Colin.
44:39I think I'm falling in love with you.
44:50I can't do this.
44:53I'm sorry.
44:55I thought I could.
44:57But I can't.
44:57I don't want to do something I can't take back.
45:17I don't want to leave without seeing you.
45:24I can't bear to look in your eyes.
45:31All I see is the road that I didn't choose.
45:37In another lifetime.
45:40In another lifetime.
45:42In some forgotten dream.
45:46In another lifetime.
45:50Maybe it was meant to be.
45:59In another lifetime.
46:02Sometimes I wonder where I'd been dark.
46:13If I follow this dark angel.
46:20Into the unknown.
46:23The years we plan.
46:25Living ghost of a life that could have been.
46:37Dancer?
46:39What are you doing here, buddy?
46:41Is Lauren here?
46:43Lauren.
46:44Lauren.
46:46It's a runoff again.
46:48What do you need?
46:53Yeah, um.
46:55Dancer's actually here at my place.
46:57Sorry about that.
46:58No, no.
46:58It's fine.
46:59You're just supposed to run off again.
47:02Um.
47:03Listen, if you want.
47:04I could, um.
47:06You know, bring him back to your place.
47:09Could you drop him at my friend Paige's?
47:12At Paige's?
47:12But, yeah.
47:13Yeah.
47:14That's.
47:15That's fine.
47:18Um.
47:20Lauren, listen.
47:28Paige.
47:29Hey.
47:30Dancer.
47:31You've been on your adventures again.
47:33Yes, yes.
47:34I'll keep him until Lauren gets back from teaching.
47:36Thanks.
47:38Paige.
47:39Could you tell Lauren something for me?
47:41Tell Lauren what?
47:44Could you tell Lauren just to get this dog a leash?
47:47Thanks.
47:48Thanks.
47:58Oh, God.
48:11Answer, I don't have time.
48:30Oh, my interrupting.
48:32No.
48:33Just thought you were a dog, though.
48:35All right.
48:35What's going on?
48:39You know, calling for a smart guy, you can be pretty dumb sometimes.
48:44Man, you can't blame your dad for everything.
48:47I can blame him for a lot.
48:49Come on.
48:50Just talk to her.
48:52Okay?
48:52Tell her how you feel.
48:53She doesn't want to talk to me.
48:55She doesn't want to see me.
48:57That ship has sailed, my friend.
49:00Well, that's not necessarily true.
49:03What do you mean?
49:04Building her house.
49:06When you're together, there's like a...
49:08There's a vibe.
49:10There's a vibe?
49:11Yeah, I woke in high school.
49:12A vibe?
49:13Serious.
49:13I'm kidding.
49:14It's just my gut, but I think there's still a chance, man.
49:17You don't understand, Ciro.
49:19You won't ever understand.
49:22No, Colin.
49:23You don't understand.
49:26What are you doing?
49:29Big guts.
49:32Sutter!
49:32Hey, buddy.
49:34Hey, listen.
49:35It's not your turn to talk.
49:36We've known Lauren's family for, what, 40, 50 years?
49:40I know, Sutter.
49:41I'm not doing it.
49:42Listen, listen.
49:43You were a teenager when we moved back here from Georgia.
49:45And since then, there's only been one woman.
49:49Only one.
49:51Lauren, the problem is, you think you're not good enough, but it's not true.
49:57Sutter, what Dad did was...
49:59Listen, I'm not talking about Dad.
50:00I'm talking about you.
50:02You're a good man.
50:04You always have been.
50:07I don't need to tell you what Mom and Dad went through.
50:10Listen, hold on.
50:11Mom, she talks more about the good years than the bad years.
50:15With what happened to Mom, I promised her I would never hurt somebody like Dad hurt her.
50:22And you won't.
50:23You won't.
50:24You are not dead.
50:28Tell me about Lauren.
50:30What?
50:31Well, I can't stop thinking about her, if that's what you mean.
50:35I, uh...
50:36I, uh...
50:37I, I just want to be with her.
50:43All the time.
50:44I mean, seeing, seeing that girl accomplish something, it's...
50:49Something to behold, she gets this smile on her face.
50:52You know, it's...
50:53Sutter.
50:55I can't stop thinking about her.
50:59Well, there she is, teaching a bunch of third graders.
51:01And there's a man on his way to maybe take her away from me forever.
51:06Do you really love her?
51:07All my heart.
51:09Yeah.
51:09Then don't let Dad's behavior stop you from maybe being with her forever.
51:15Can I show you something?
51:18I'll put it up.
51:19I made that.
51:20You made this?
51:21I'm always surprised.
51:22It's what I do.
51:23Wow.
51:24Think she'll like it?
51:25Yeah.
51:26Think it'll fit?
51:31You don't know if you don't try.
51:33You're right.
51:34Nice job.
51:40How's my Lauren?
51:42Dane, what are you doing here?
51:43I came to apologize.
51:45I want to make this work.
51:47Me and you.
51:48Dane, we talked about this.
51:51You were right.
51:52I should have listened to you.
51:54I should never have sent those guys to build your house for you,
51:57or sent you that furniture, that Italian marble tile.
52:00It's just my way of taking care of you.
52:02And yet you took this long to get here.
52:05You chose your job, Dane.
52:08Look.
52:08Look, I'm here now.
52:10I don't want to make this work.
52:12I am listening.
52:13But it's so much more than that.
52:17You know, after the storm hit, I realized what's important to me.
52:25And I also realized what's important to you.
52:28And those two things just aren't the same.
52:31I love you.
52:35And I loved you.
52:38But your life is all condos, right?
52:42And big city living.
52:43And I'm all little kids.
52:44We can make this place work.
52:46We're going to get a place here.
52:48We're going to buy a home.
52:50And you're going to design it.
52:51And it's going to be fantastic.
52:53I already have a house here.
52:54I have a home, actually.
52:56A home that I built myself.
52:58I'm sorry, Dane.
53:05No, Lauren, I'm sorry.
53:06Lauren.
53:30Lauren.
53:32Colin?
53:34Lauren.
53:34I'm so sorry.
53:41I'm sorry for pushing your wife five years ago.
53:44Lauren.
53:45You're the most amazing woman I've ever met.
53:50Ever since I was a kid, I was always my best when I was with you.
53:54And I'm a better man when I am with you.
53:59Lauren.
54:01I've got to spend the rest of my life with you.
54:05I made you something.
54:08Lauren Christensen?
54:11Would you marry me?
54:12Yes, yes, yes, I will.
54:24Oh, it's beautiful.
54:27It's gorgeous.
54:29Oh, my gosh, that was so romantic.
54:35That is the most beautiful ring I've ever seen.
54:39Right?
54:40Here, take a picture.
54:41Oh, shoot.
54:49I think she liked the ring.
54:50Our boy finally did it.
54:55Oh.
