00:00:00I hope you can get your head out of these architecture books, Hallie, and finally go out with me.
00:00:15Never in a million years, Dirk Dingle.
00:00:19I want your book back. Why don't you come and get it?
00:00:22Come on. Hey!
00:00:24Listen, don't fight this, okay? We will be together eventually.
00:00:28Get off me!
00:00:29Hey, don't fight me, okay?
00:00:36Ow!
00:00:38You bitch!
00:00:40She said she's not interested, bro!
00:00:44Rick Brody. Oh, you always gotta play the hero, huh?
00:00:48Yeah, go ahead. You're one demerit away from getting thrown out of this school.
00:00:52You want your book back so bad?
00:00:54Alright, you take it.
00:00:57No, this is gonna cost a fortune to replace.
00:01:12You can have mine.
00:01:14No, I couldn't.
00:01:16Yeah, you're good. I've seen you in class. You are brilliant.
00:01:21You're gonna get way more use out of this than I ever would.
00:01:23Do you want to grab lunch? Or keep studying?
00:01:38Um, I, yeah.
00:01:40Yeah?
00:01:41Grab lunch.
00:01:42We're doing great.
00:01:49When did you two get back from the honeymoon?
00:01:51Just an hour ago.
00:01:52Just an hour ago.
00:01:53And, this was waiting for me when I got back.
00:01:55I got in, Daddy!
00:01:57The Young Architects Program in Paris.
00:01:59It's a dream come true!
00:02:00Huh.
00:02:01And, when we get back, we're gonna rebuild this town. Together.
00:02:10Allie, give me some ice.
00:02:13Sure, Daddy.
00:02:15Are you two insane?
00:02:20Rebuild this town?
00:02:21This town is dying.
00:02:22And, I want my daughter as far away from it as possible.
00:02:25Uh, but, sir, we have a plan.
00:02:28We even applied to adopt a child.
00:02:30Even more reason to end this now, before you keep her trapped here forever.
00:02:36I promised Allie's mother before she passed away that I would take care of our daughter.
00:02:41She deserves more than this two-bit town, and quite frankly, she deserves more than you.
00:02:46But, sir, I love her more than anything. I promise. I will always take care of her.
00:02:52And you think that's important?
00:02:55She's going to be a world-class architect.
00:02:59You, you're... you're a local boy with a hammer.
00:03:03If you truly loved her, you'd let her go.
00:03:06Let her make something of herself!
00:03:09Deep down, you know I'm right.
00:03:12Here.
00:03:16This should be enough.
00:03:18I want her on that plane alone.
00:03:26I want her on that plane alone.
00:03:29For Mr. and Mrs. Craig Brody.
00:03:34We just got married.
00:03:36I got into an architecture program in Paris, and my new husband is coming with me.
00:03:41Actually, I'm not coming with you, Allie.
00:03:45What? Why?
00:03:46You think I want to just sit around while 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 and spit you out, and it's going to be too pathetic for me to watch.
00:03:59Um, what, but...
00:04:01No, what about our plans?
00:04:05We were trying to start a family to...
00:04:08No, the last person I'd want to start a family with is you, Allie.
00:04:12I want a divorce.
00:04:14No, no, but where is this coming from?
00:04:20Hi, Craig baby.
00:04:23Are you seeing Trista now?
00:04:25Yeah, just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:04:29Craig, no, what?
00:04:30Oh my God, I thought you believed in me.
00:04:37Ma'am, boarding is closing. Are you coming or not?
00:04:43Ma'am, boarding is closing. Are you coming or not?
00:04:48Yes, but I'd like to change my ticket to one way.

00:05:03and your company is taking the New York architecture scene by storm.

00:05:20Well, word on the street is he's planning on proposing.

00:14:43Oh.
00:14:45Copperhead?
00:14:45Mm-hmm.
00:14:51Daddy?
00:14:53You still remember how to draw out snake venom?
00:14:56Well, I haven't forgotten everything you taught me, Craig Brody.
00:15:04Here, keep the pressure on.
00:15:06Okay.
00:15:08Your daddy will be fine.
00:15:10I promise.
00:15:10Hold still.
00:15:21Okay.
00:15:24Keep the pressure on.
00:15:25So, your daughter.
00:15:33Mm-hmm.
00:15:34She looks about...
00:15:36Seven years old.
00:15:39So she's Trista's.
00:15:41No.
00:15:42She's yours.
00:15:44She's yours.
00:15:45So, if she's not Trista's, how 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, and we can put this sham of marriage behind us.
00:16:00You've got to be kidding me.
00:16:01Where did they go?
00:16:03Daddy's had this photo in his nightstand for seven years, which means he still loves her.
00:16:08And if they loved each other once, they can love each other again.
00:16:13They just need another chance.
00:16:24Where are the divorce papers?
00:16:27No.
00:16:28Oh.
00:16:28I will check into the P-Coy in the fort tonight.
00:16:40Oh.
00:16:41And we can look for the divorce papers tomorrow.
00:16:43The P-Coy closed years ago?
00:16:45There was always your father's.
00:16:47That's, um, not an option.
00:16:50The way she said that, that something happened between her and her father.
00:16:54Well, unless you want to stay outside, I guess you're stuck here.
00:17:04I guess you're stuck here.
00:17:08Fine, but I'm not staying in your room.
00:17:11Wouldn't dream it.
00:17:14You can stay in my room with me and Lucy.
00:17:18There you go.
00:17:24Wow, I love your room.
00:17:29Thanks, my daddy helped me decorate it.
00:17:41Okay, look.
00:17:45Oh my God.
00:17:46I know it hasn't been easy.
00:17:48Trying to start a family.
00:17:50But, uh, one day, the adoption will go through.
00:17:55We're gonna have that baby.
00:17:57And you will be the most amazing.
00:18:20Good night, sweetheart.
00:18:27Good night, sweetheart.
00:18:31That logo.
00:18:33It's from the adoption agency.
00:18:35Is Natalie my daughter?
00:18:38That logo.
00:18:40It's from the adoption agency.
00:18:42Is Natalie my daughter?
00:18:43I guess I'm just remembering things wrong.
00:18:52I guess I'm just remembering things wrong.
00:19:13It feels like that logo.
00:19:22Oh, my God.
00:19:24Oh, my God.
00:19:24Oh, my God.
00:19:32My wife is looking for justice.
00:19:32Oh, my God.
00:19:33Oh, my God.
00:19:34Oh, my God.
00:19:35Oh, my gosh.
00:19:35Oh, my God.
00:19:41Let me know.
00:19:42It's nothing I haven't seen before.
00:19:45Daddy?
00:19:50Do you know where McHaley 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!
00:20:08Oh, my God.
00:20:12Oh, my God.
00:20:27Greg, I'm engaged to someone else.
00:20:31You're also married to me.
00:20:36I've got this kid any messier.
00:20:39Oh, my God.
00:20:44I should go.
00:20:59Hey.
00:21:01Hey.
00:21:02Until I found the divorce papers.
00:21:08Natalie!
00:21:09I think she wants to keep us married.
00:21:12Would that be such a bad thing?
00:21:14Hello!
00:21:15I brought scones!
00:21:16What the hell are you doing here?
00:21:17Craig and Trista are still together?
00:21:18I mean...
00:21:19Hi, baby.
00:21:20I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
00:21:21What a pleasant surprise.
00:21:22Holly?
00:21:23Bye!
00:21:24Uh, excuse me.
00:21:25What the fuck are you doing here?
00:21:26It's none of your business.
00:21:27Actually, where Craig's concerned, it is.
00:21:28So...
00:21:29you and Craig?
00:21:30Are still together?
00:21:31Are still together?
00:21:32I mean...
00:21:33Hi, baby.
00:21:34I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
00:21:36What a pleasant surprise.
00:21:38Holly?
00:21:39Bye!
00:21:40Uh, excuse me.
00:21:44What the fuck are you doing here?
00:21:47It's none of your business.
00:21:49What?
00:21:50Actually, where Craig's concerned, it is.
00:21:52So...
00:21:53you and Craig...
00:21:55are still together?
00:21:58We're not going anywhere together, Trista.
00:22:01My heart still belongs to Hallie.
00:22:03And it always will.
00:22:06Still together?
00:22:07Why, of course we're still together.
00:22:09We've been inseparable.
00:22:11Ever since that day at the airport.
00:22:13The day that Craig chose me over you.
00:22:16Don't tell me you've forgotten.
00:22:20How could I?
00:22:22It was the worst day of my life.
00:22:23Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:22:26Because it was a pretty good day for me.
00:22:28I'm sure it was.
00:22:30Listen, if you're here to win Craig back, it's too late.
00:22:33Because I'm pretty sure he's planning on proposing to me.
00:22:36Any day now.
00:22:38So I need you to get your skinny little ass out of my town.
00:22:41Okay?
00:22:42Come here.
00:22:43Take a pastry for the bread.
00:22:45I insist.
00:22:50Eat it.
00:22:51Oh my god.
00:22:52Because it's the closest you'll get to tasting Craig's mouth ever again.
00:22:59Oh my god!
00:23:02You New York bitch!
00:23:04Oh my god!
00:23:05You think you can just waltz back in here and pick up where you left off?
00:23:15Craig will always choose me over you.
00:23:17What the hell is going on?
00:23:23Help!
00:23:24Help!
00:23:25Help!
00:23:26Help!
00:23:27My uncle!
00:23:28That crazy bitch!
00:23:29Help!
00:23:30Like I said, he will always choose me over you.
00:23:35Are you okay?
00:23:37Why are you asking her?
00:23:38I'm the one who's injured.
00:23:43All I did was offer her a scone and then she called it dog food and then she kicked me.
00:23:50Poor little thing, you got scone all over you.
00:23:53It's okay, Hallie.
00:23:54I forgive you.
00:23:55Even if you did break my leg.
00:23:57I didn't touch you.
00:23:59I need to put your petty jealousy aside.
00:24:01Craig divorced you for a reason.
00:24:04Are you coming back here?
00:24:05To diaper him back is just perfect.
00:24:09Actually, I didn't divorce Hallie.
00:24:12She's still my wife.
00:24:14What?
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 get out of our house before we call the cops.
00:24:33Oh my god, ew.
00:24:34What is that disgusting creature?
00:24:37I'm gonna vomit.
00:24:39Good job, Lucy.
00:24:41You know what? I should go.
00:24:42Hallie.
00:24:43It was nice meeting you, Natalie.
00:24:50I'm sorry.
00:24:56Lulu.
00:24:58Call me back.
00:25:01Hallie.
00:25:03You know, I never understood why you left me for Trista.
00:25:06Of all people, you knew I couldn't stand her.
00:25:09That's why I didn't.
00:25:10Because I knew it would hurt me most.
00:25:15Seeing her again, it just reminded me of the worst day of my life.
00:25:20Hallie.
00:25:22There's something I need to tell you about Trista.
00:25:27I don't want to talk about Trista anymore, okay?
00:25:28I have to take this.
00:25:30Lulu.
00:25:31Can you email me another copy of the divorce papers ASAP?
00:25:34Another copy?
00:25:35What happened to the originals?
00:25:37It's a long story.
00:25:38Can you do it?
00:25:41It's Saturday.
00:25:43City Hall's closed until Monday.
00:25:45You're gonna need a certified copy.
00:25:47I think you're gonna have to stay the weekend there, boss.
00:25:50I hope that's not a big problem.
00:25:52No.
00:25:54Of course not.
00:25:56Well, 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.
00:26:03You can just drive me to the store.
00:26:06Okay.
00:26:07Okay.
00:26:08Okay.
00:26:09Hey, Miss Hallie is staying.
00:26:11proposing?
00:26:12What are you doing?
00:26:14What are you doing?
00:26:15What are you doing?
00:26:16I am, Miss Hallie.
00:26:17I am, Miss Hallie.
00:26:19I am no.
00:26:20I am.
00:26:21Stop looking at him like that, Hallie.
00:26:30You can't have feelings for him.
00:26:34Even if he is your husband.
00:26:43I can't believe how bad the town looks.
00:26:47When the factory closed, half the stores went with it.
00:26:52Well, at least Martha's Diner's still here.
00:26:54Martha May makes the best burgers in the world.
00:26:58Yeah.
00:26:59Remember our crazy dream?
00:27:02Fix this place up?
00:27:04Resent it.
00:27:05So?
00:27:06You probably have big plans after graduation.
00:27:11I'm applying to an architecture program in Paris.
00:27:14I doubt I'll get it, though.
00:27:15It's really competitive.
00:27:17Of course you will.
00:27:18I mean, they'd be fools not to take you.
00:27:21You think so?
00:27:22Oh, yeah, I know so.
00:27:25Well, after that, I want to come back here.
00:27:27Fix this town up.
00:27:28I am pretty good.
00:27:30Glamour.
00:27:31I 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.
00:27:54Just like old times.
00:27:57Allow me.
00:27:59Oh.
00:27:59I hate you, Hallie.
00:28:11Wow, it's just like in high school.
00:28:14Still looks the same, doesn't it?
00:28:17And feels the same.
00:28:18I love you, Hallie Biltner.
00:28:22I want you to know I will never, ever hurt you.
00:28:27I'm so sorry for hurting you, Hallie.
00:28:30Natalie and I were supposed to eat these on our fishing trip.
00:28:37You.
00:28:37I think she'll forgive me.
00:28:42Triangles.
00:28:43Just the way you tell me.
00:28:44It's Natalie's favorite way to eat them, too.
00:28:47Oh, I have to take this.
00:28:50Hey.
00:28:51Hallie.
00:28:52The press wants to know why we haven't been seen together.
00:28:55They think we broke up.
00:28:56You need to get back here right now.
00:29:01I can't yet.
00:29:04I need to get new divorce papers in city halls.
00:29:07Closed until Monday.
00:29:08New divorce papers?
00:29:09What?
00:29:09Your location says you're at your old high school.
00:29:12What the hell is going on?
00:29:15It's...
00:29:15complicated.
00:29:16No, it is not complicated.
00:29:19Okay, look.
00:29:21I am pulling in a favor from the governor.
00:29:24We're going to get those papers expedited,
00:29:25and we are going to force that husband of yours into signing them if we have to.
00:29:29I need you on the next flight back in an hour.
00:29:32In a couple?
00:29:33Yeah.
00:29:34That's not going to be a problem, is it?
00:29:38Uh, of course not.
00:29:43Um, I have to go.
00:29:46Uh, so you wouldn't mind taking me to the airport, would you?
00:29:51Of course not.
00:29:59Just sign the papers when you get them, Craig.
00:30:03Okay?
00:30:03It's the least you can do.
00:30:04This is my last chance to tell her the truth.
00:30:09Well, goodbye, I guess.
00:30:13Holly, I...
00:30:14No, Craig.
00:30:15Oh, I'm done waiting.
00:30:18It's time for me to move on.
00:30:19Hello?
00:30:26What?
00:30:27Are you sure?
00:30:29Okay.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:31Um, um, it's my father.
00:30:34He's had a stroke.
00:30:35He's at the community hospital.
00:30:37Oh, come on.
00:30:37I'll drive you.
00:30:41Unless you're getting on that flight.
00:30:43No, um, no, of course not.
00:30:45Okay, good, good, good.
00:30:46Come on.
00:30:49What's going on?
00:30:51The neighbor found him this morning on the lawn.
00:30:54Hallie, I didn't expect to see you here.
00:30:57Is he going to be okay?
00:30:58We're doing the best we can, but it's difficult considering his condition.
00:31:02His condition?
00:31:04Your father is dying, Hallie, of kidney failure.
00:31:07How long does he have?
00:31:12A 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.
00:31:37Hallie.
00:31:41Craig's divorcing me.
00:31:42He's been cheating on me.
00:31:44I knew that bastard wasn't good enough for you.
00:31:47But at least you found out before he followed you to Paris.
00:31:50No, I'm not going to Paris.
00:31:52I can't get on that plane.
00:31:54What?
00:31:56Craig was right.
00:31:57I'm not, I'm not a real architect.
00:32:00Everyone's going to laugh at me.
00:32:01You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:32:03But, Daddy, I...
00:32:05If you come back now, you'll be a 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?
00:32:17You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:32:20I never want to see you again.
00:32:22You are a disgrace.
00:32:23Nobody's ever been so mean to me.
00:32:38Except you.
00:32:39That is.
00:32:41God, it's like the two of you were in cahoots.
00:32:44Should I tell her that we were?
00:32:45If I tell her the truth, she'll never forgive her dying father.
00:32:52Didn't work out for the best, though.
00:32:55I mean, look at the life you've built for yourself.
00:32:57You deserve more than this small town.
00:33:01You and my father certainly made it easy to leave.
00:33:06What's going on?
00:33:08Power grid has been happening for weeks.
00:33:10Natalie?
00:33:16Daddy.
00:33:17I'm scared.
00:33:19It's dark and there's someone outside.
00:33:21I'll be right there.
00:33:22Keep the doors locked.
00:33:24I have to go.
00:33:25I'm coming with you.
00:33:26Hallie, this isn't something that...
00:33:27I'm coming with you.
00:33:29Okay.
00:33:29Okay, come on.
00:33:33Natalie?
00:33:33Natalie?
00:33:34Oh, my God.
00:33:35Oh, my God.
00:33:37Oh, my God.
00:33:37Thank God.
00:33:38I was so scared.
00:33:43It's okay.
00:33:44It's okay.
00:33:45You're okay.
00:33:46It must have been raccoons.
00:33:48Broken through the window.
00:33:50Probably those scones, huh?
00:33:52Yeah.
00:33:53I'm so sorry for leaving you alone for so long.
00:33:56Oh, it's my fault.
00:33:57No, no, no, no.
00:33:58I was happy to help, but...
00:34:00I think you missed your flight.
00:34:04So you're saying we could watch a movie together?
00:34:06Yes, we can.
00:34:15Miss Haley, come closer.
00:34:21Daddy, come closer.
00:34:23Isn't this great?
00:34:27Just the three of us.
00:34:32This blanket always makes my daddy fall asleep.
00:34:34Oh, my God.
00:35:03I love you, Allie Brody.
00:35:14Why does this feel so right?
00:35:19He's still my husband, and I know every freckle on his body.
00:35:25But no, I'm divorcing him and marrying someone else.
00:35:29Oh, my God.
00:35:34Oh, my God.
00:35:42Allie.
00:35:47Mommy and Daddy, I made breakfast.
00:35:49Do you like it?
00:35:57I made pancakes.
00:35:59They are excellent, sweetie.
00:36:03This is what families do.
00:36:05They eat breakfast together.
00:36:10What's up?
00:36:11There's some stupid birthday invitation.
00:36:19All the kids from school will be there, but I'm not going.
00:36:22Why not?
00:36:24Because everyone always says if I had a mom, she'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.
00:36:41I 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, your dad is worth a thousand movies.
00:37:00That's true.
00:37:01She checked.
00:37:03So go to that party with your head held high.
00:37:07No one can take your power from you unless you let them.
00:37:11Okay, Miss Allie.
00:37:14I'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?
00:37:45A rich fiancé isn't enough for you, so you have to come back and seduce your husband, too.
00:37:49I didn't come here to get back with Craig, Trista.
00:37:52I came here to divorce him.
00:37:54Really?
00:37:55Then prove it.
00:37:56Walk away now and leave this town for good.
00:37:59Otherwise, these photos would go to the senator.
00:38:04I could ruin you, Hallie.
00:38:08So don't mess with my life, and I won't mess with yours.
00:38:12Hey.
00:38:20Everything okay?
00:38:22Hi.
00:38:22Who are you talking to?
00:38:24Oh, uh, my, uh, fiancé's lawyer.
00:38:27He'll be by with new divorce papers.
00:38:31Um, I have to go.
00:38:33Right now?
00:38:33Yes.
00:38:34I'm sorry, but yes.
00:38:36Can you call me a cab?
00:38:37Hallie.
00:38:37Call me a cab.
00:38:38Craig.
00:38:40Okay.
00:38:40My plans didn't work, Lucy.
00:38:45I guess Mommy isn't in love with Daddy after all.
00:38:57Martha May?
00:38:59Hallie Builder, as I live and breathe!
00:39:02Oh!
00:39:02Oh, how are you so skinny?
00:39:04I thought that city of yours had a restaurant on every block.
00:39:07Oh, well, they do, but none of them make a burger as good as you do.
00:39:11Oh, well, that's nice to know I'll be remembered fondly, at least.
00:39:15What?
00:39:15Don't tell me you'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.
00:39:21No, there must be something I can do.
00:39:24Mayor Diggle, shut it down.
00:39:27Mayor Diggle.
00:39:28Dirk, I can't believe you're shutting down Martha's Diner.
00:39:35It's a town institution.
00:39:37Is it?
00:39:37Or 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, and 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, so how about you and me handle this privately?
00:39:56I'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, but he's not here now.
00:40:14Looks like you're all alone, Hallie.
00:40:16No!
00:40:18Let go of my wife!
00:40:26Well, 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.
00:40:46Wife, huh?
00:40:48Some habits are hard to break.
00:40:50God, this is so not funny.
00:40:55Ned is running for senator.
00:40:56What will this look like if anyone finds out?
00:40:58And who's going to check a county jail in a nowhere town?
00:41:02I should have never come back here.
00:41:03I should have sent my assistant.
00:41:05I should have hired a lawyer!
00:41:06Then why didn't you?
00:41:09I think you wanted to see me.
00:41:10I 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.
00:41:24And 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?
00:41:33What about the people you came from?
00:41:35I've tried to forget where I came from.
00:41:37Okay, isn'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, Howells.
00:42:07Ned.
00:42:12Hey, Howells.
00:42:14Ned.
00:42:18So, you must be Craig Brody.
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.
00:42:34Hmm.
00:42:35Well, you can think of it as the government working for you.
00:42:38Well, you can shove your government up your silver spoon.
00:42:41Guys, please, stop.
00:42:43No, you're right.
00:42:44I'm not here to argue with a man who's holding on to the past.
00:42:48We 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.
00:43:08Or we take you to court.
00:43:12But I gotta tell you, my lawyer's a shark.
00:43:15Say something, Ellie.
00:43:18Say something to stop this.
00:43:21Sign the papers, Craig.
00:43:24Let me go.
00:43:25It's the least you can do.
00:43:28Wonderful.
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.
00:43:55Yes.
00:43:55Yes, of course.
00:43:58Bye.
00:44:05That is who she ended up with.
00:44:08I 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.
00:44:23No, this has nothing to do with you.
00:44:25You are going to be my wife.
00:44:29Everything you do reflects on me.
00:44:33Now, are there any other skeletons I should know about?
00:44:37No.
00:44:46Nothing.
00:44:47Nothing.
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 are your words, Hallie.
00:45:05What's gotten into you?
00:45:06I don't know.
00:45:07Um, just...
00:45:09being back here...
00:45:12Should I remind you how lucky you are to have gotten out?
00:45:17Class signature, Miss Bilner.
00:45:19And you'll be free and clear to be the wife of a sin.
00:45:21Fair wages, fair pay.
00:45:39We won't be the contract today.
00:45:41Let us through.
00:45:41No one gets in or out today.
00:45:43Town workers on strike.
00:45:45We need to get these filed.
00:45:47We have a flight to catch in 30 minutes.
00:45:49Sorry, we can't do it.
00:45:55There you are, Mommy.
00:45:59Mommy?
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.
00:46:10Natalie, come on.
00:46:11Miss Hallie has to go.
00:46:12No, no!
00:46:14I'm so sorry.
00:46:16I hate you.
00:46:17I hate both of you.
00:46:18Another 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!
00:46:28Is this a city senate official
00:46:31bribing a city employee?
00:46:33You see, I have my fair share of scandals, but this, this is bad.
00:46:41Hallie, I see you got a fancy new fiance.
00:46:45What happened to your husband?
00:46:47He's still locked away in jail?
00:46:49I think you mean 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?
00:47:06Wait, Craig never told you-
00:47:08Fair, wait, is fair, pay.
00:47:09Hey!
00:47:10Keep it down, all right?
00:47:11Or I will write you up for a noise violation.
00:47:13How about you pay us what we're owed
00:47:15and not waste our tax dollars
00:47:17on fancy new fire trucks
00:47:19and cocktail parties?
00:47:21Mayor Sullivan never would have done anything.
00:47:23All right, listen.
00:47:24Mayor Sullivan is not in charge anymore.
00:47:26I am, all right?
00:47:28So please just keep it down.
00:47:30Fair, wait, is fair, pay.
00:47:32All right, keep it down.
00:47:33Fair, wait, is fair, pay.
00:47:35I'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?
00:47:49Sure, this child is just as much Hallie's
00:47:51as she is Craig's.
00:47:54You lied to me.
00:47:56No, no, no, I didn't know, I swear.
00:48:00How is this even possible?
00:48:02Well, she's adopted.
00:48:03I mean, I did the paperwork myself.
00:48:04You listed as parent number one.
00:48:06Jeez, I would have thought he would have
00:48:07told you about it by now.
00:48:09This is not a good thing.
00:48:11A husband is one thing, but a child?
00:48:13If this gets out, I am sunk.
00:48:15Right.
00:48:16A messy custody battle never sits well with voters.
00:48:18Who said anything about a custody agreement?
00:48:21Hallie 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.
00:48:26Where do we sign?
00:48:27It's not that simple.
00:48:28In a case like this, when a child's involved,
00:48:30both parties have to attend a parenting class.
00:48:32The next one starts tomorrow.
00:48:35Tomorrow?
00:48:36I do not have time for this.
00:48:39I have to get back to New York
00:48:40before the press starts asking questions.
00:48:44Go.
00:48:45Go, I'll get this sorted out.
00:48:47Fine.
00:48:48Take care of this child
00:48:50and this marriage
00:48:51quickly and quietly.
00:48:53How come you never told me
00:49:01that Natalie is my daughter?
00:49:06Natalie.
00:49:07No!
00:49:07You were just going to let me divorce you,
00:49:09never knowing that Natalie's my daughter?
00:49:12Shh.
00:49:12Shh.
00:49:12The adoption went through
00:49:21after you left.
00:49:23You didn't think I deserved to know?
00:49:26You could have called,
00:49:28written anything!
00:49:29I tried.
00:49:31What?
00:49:34And you were there with another guy.
00:49:37You looked happy.
00:49:39You looked free.
00:49:39It seems you don't need me and Natalie anymore.
00:49:44And that's why you never told me
00:49:45that I had a daughter?
00:49:48You looked like you'd moved on.
00:49:52Moved on?
00:49:53It took me years
00:49:54to move on.
00:49:58And honestly,
00:49:59I don't know if I ever have.
00:50:03Forget it.
00:50:06It doesn't matter now anyway.
00:50:10Here.
00:50:14Parenting class.
00:50:17We need to take it
00:50:19in order to get divorced.
00:50:20Custody.
00:50:22Co-parenting.
00:50:24Legally,
00:50:25Natalie is just as much mine
00:50:26as she is yours.
00:50:27You haven't spent any time with her.
00:50:30You didn't raise her.
00:50:31I know.
00:50:32And whose fault is that?
00:50:36Class is at 8 a.m.
00:50:37Don't be late.
00:50:42I knew Miss Haley was my mommy.
00:50:50Dad?
00:50:54Maya, what's going on?
00:50:55Daddy!
00:51:06He's okay.
00:51:06He's stabilized.
00:51:08Your old man's a fighter, Holly.
00:51:11And clearly he's fighting
00:51:12to see you again.
00:51:14No fighting to see me?
00:51:17No, if anything,
00:51:18he'd be pissed
00:51:19to know I'm back.
00:51:21My dad hates me.
00:51:22That's not possible.
00:51:23Holly, he talks about you
00:51:24all the time.
00:51:26He does?
00:51:28Yep.
00:51:28Every Monday and Thursday
00:51:29at dialysis.
00:51:31That's how I know
00:51:32about your fancy job
00:51:33and your fancy boyfriend.
00:51:36None of this makes any sense.
00:51:39Holly, are you okay?
00:51:42Yeah, today's just been...
00:51:44a lot.
00:51:46Maya, did you know
00:51:48that Natalie's
00:51:49my daughter?
00:51:54My shift ends in five minutes.
00:51:57Do you want to grab a drink?
00:52:00Craig has never revealed
00:52:01who Natalie's mother was,
00:52:03but he's never been
00:52:05with anyone since you,
00:52:06so we figured...
00:52:07Wait a second.
00:52:08Uh, he's never been
00:52:09with anyone since me.
00:52:11No, he left me for Trista.
00:52:13I saw him.
00:52:14Trista.
00:52:15She's been after him
00:52:16for years, sure,
00:52:17but he'd never touch her
00:52:18with a ten-foot pole.
00:52:19I don't understand.
00:52:21Just send me
00:52:22the divorce papers, okay?
00:52:24Craig!
00:52:26Oh my God.
00:52:37Excuse me, Maya.
00:52:38I need to get
00:52:39to the bottom of this.
00:52:39Okay.
00:52:40Good to see you, Hallie.
00:52:50I know the truth.
00:52:52You were never with Trista.
00:52:55So tell me the truth
00:52:56about everything.
00:52:58Right now.
00:53:03Pay me for it.
00:53:06If you win,
00:53:08I'll tell you.
00:53:10Looks like big city living
00:53:18has indulged your A-medal.
00:53:19No, if anything.
00:53:21Maybe sharper.
00:53:28You two are playing
00:53:29like your lives depend on it.
00:53:36Well,
00:53:37kind of do.
00:53:39Oops.
00:53:48If you do that again,
00:53:50I might just have to
00:53:51take you right here
00:53:52on the table.
00:53:54Too bad I'm engaged.
00:53:58What are you playing at, Hallie?
00:54:00I deserve the truth.
00:54:01Why?
00:54:03You came here
00:54:04to divorce me.
00:54:05What good
00:54:05would the truth do?
00:54:06I'll be the one
00:54:07to decide that.
00:54:22Now,
00:54:24that's up.
00:54:24you scratched.
00:54:33I win.
00:54:38Thank you, ladies.
00:54:40But I gotta go.
00:54:42I have an early start.
00:54:43Maybe I can find some clues
00:54:51in my father's room.
00:54:54Why didn't my father
00:54:55tell me he was sick?
00:54:57And why won't anyone
00:54:58just tell me the truth?
00:55:03Oh, my God.
00:55:04This will always
00:55:11belong to Hallie.
00:55:13And so will my heart.
00:55:15What is this doing here?
00:55:23What was this doing
00:55:24in my father's bedroom?
00:55:25Hallie...
00:55:26Tell me.
00:55:27Why was this
00:55:27in my father's room?
00:55:28Don't tell me
00:55:32you're about to
00:55:32propose, Hallie.
00:55:34Krista?
00:55:35What are you doing here?
00:55:37Surprise!
00:55:37I'm teaching the course.
00:55:40It's time for the two
00:55:41of you to get divorced.
00:55:44I mean,
00:55:45this is what you both want,
00:55:46right?
00:55:48Of course.
00:55:50Hallie,
00:55:50you are Natalie's
00:55:52mother after all.
00:55:53Yes,
00:55:53but she doesn't know
00:55:55I get that,
00:55:55so please
00:55:56keep this between us.
00:55:57I will always
00:55:58do you a favor,
00:55:59Craig.
00:55:59You know that.
00:56:01Okay,
00:56:02first topic.
00:56:04How to explain
00:56:04to your child
00:56:05why you're not
00:56:06together anymore.
00:56:07Uh, simple.
00:56:08Her father
00:56:09is a lying,
00:56:10manipulative jerk
00:56:11who hid the fact
00:56:11that I had a daughter
00:56:12for five years.
00:56:15Not to mention
00:56:16whatever other secrets
00:56:16he's keeping.
00:56:18And what would you
00:56:18have done
00:56:19if I'd come up to
00:56:19in the library
00:56:20that day?
00:56:21Hallie,
00:56:21be honest.
00:56:22You're starting
00:56:23a new life
00:56:24somewhere else.
00:56:24Because you made me
00:56:25believe there was
00:56:26nothing left
00:56:26for me here.
00:56:27So what are you
00:56:28going to do?
00:56:29You're going to take
00:56:30Natalie to New York?
00:56:31Maybe.
00:56:33She belongs here.
00:56:35Not in New York
00:56:36with central air
00:56:37and no pair.
00:56:39And I will be damned
00:56:40if I let Ned Vogel
00:56:42be my daughter's
00:56:43stepfather.
00:56:44Jealous, Craig.
00:56:46You know,
00:56:46of all the things
00:56:46Ned is,
00:56:47he's never lied to me.
00:56:48Never torn my world
00:56:49apart without so much
00:56:50as an explanation.
00:56:52You want an explanation?
00:56:54Yeah.
00:56:54I'll give you one.
00:56:55I did lie to you
00:56:56that day
00:56:56when I told you
00:56:57that I didn't
00:56:58love you anymore.
00:57:03I'm done.
00:57:06I wouldn't have
00:57:07fallen in love with you.
00:57:08I knew it.
00:57:08You just came here
00:57:09and you ruined
00:57:10everything like that.
00:57:11I knew you would.
00:57:11Ruined what exactly?
00:57:13I know the truth,
00:57:14Trista.
00:57:15You and Craig
00:57:15were never together.
00:57:16And that's about
00:57:19to change, sweetie.
00:57:21Once those divorce papers
00:57:22are finalized,
00:57:23I will have no choice
00:57:24but to choose me.
00:57:25Besides,
00:57:26Natalie needs a mother.
00:57:28You want to be Natalie's mom?
00:57:30Well, not particularly.
00:57:32But I can pretend.
00:57:34At least until I send her
00:57:34off to boarding school.
00:57:36After all these years,
00:57:37her father and I
00:57:38deserve some alone time.
00:57:40I mean, don't you think?
00:57:42Don't you dare.
00:57:43Go back to New York,
00:57:48Allie.
00:57:49None of this
00:57:49concerns of you anymore.
00:57:51I think I'll go
00:57:52comfort your husband now.
00:57:55Oh, he looks upset.
00:58:13Let me out!
00:58:15Somebody!
00:58:19I'm so sorry about that.
00:58:21I didn't realize
00:58:22Hallie would try to
00:58:23provoke you like that.
00:58:24Oh, Hallie was right.
00:58:26I should have told her
00:58:27about Natalie.
00:58:28It was unfair.
00:58:29I need to apologize.
00:58:31Do you?
00:58:31Because you and I
00:58:32both know what Hallie
00:58:33would have chosen
00:58:34all those years ago.
00:58:35And it wouldn't have
00:58:35been you and that.
00:58:36I don't,
00:58:37because I never gave
00:58:37her the chance.
00:58:39I did.
00:58:40What?
00:58:41All those years ago.
00:58:43I told her about Natalie.
00:58:48I don't understand.
00:58:52I care about you, Craig.
00:58:54And I would never,
00:58:55ever lie to you.
00:58:57I told her that
00:58:58you had a daughter together.
00:59:00And she never even
00:59:01tried to contact you.
00:59:02Did she?
00:59:07I'm so sorry
00:59:08I didn't tell you before,
00:59:09but I was just
00:59:10trying to protect you.
00:59:11She said that the
00:59:12last thing that she
00:59:13wanted was a daughter
00:59:14with you.
00:59:15She said that?
00:59:17Yes.
00:59:18In fact,
00:59:19she said that she
00:59:20didn't want any kids
00:59:20at all.
00:59:21Hallie was born to be
00:59:22a mother.
00:59:23That's all she's
00:59:24ever wanted.
00:59:25Is it?
00:59:27This is from the judge.
00:59:29She's planning on
00:59:30giving up full custody.
00:59:32She's going to New York.
00:59:33She has no interest
00:59:34in fighting for you
00:59:35or Natalie.
00:59:37But I do.
00:59:46What are you doing?
00:59:48I'm just trying
00:59:49to help you move on, Craig.
00:59:52Hallie will never
00:59:53choose you.
00:59:54But I will.
00:59:55It's not going to happen,
00:59:57Trista.
00:59:58It's not.
00:59:59Natalie.
00:59:59Natalie needs a mother.
01:00:01You know it
01:00:01and I know it.
01:00:02You need to move on, Craig,
01:00:04and come back to reality.
01:00:05Help me out!
01:00:08Hallie?
01:00:09What did you do to her?
01:00:12Nothing!
01:00:12This was a mistake.
01:00:15Having you help me out
01:00:16all those years ago
01:00:17is the biggest regret
01:00:19of my life.
01:00:19It's never going to happen,
01:00:21no matter what happens
01:00:22with me and Hallie.
01:00:30You want to play it
01:00:31like that?
01:00:32So be it.
01:00:38Hi!
01:00:39I'd like to speak
01:00:40to Senator Ned Vogel,
01:00:41please.
01:00:42Are you okay?
01:00:48Don't.
01:00:50Why do you care, Craig?
01:00:51Is everything
01:00:52you tell me a lie?
01:00:53What?
01:00:54I saw you
01:00:55kissing Trista!
01:00:56Don't try and deny it.
01:00:58You told me
01:00:59you loved me.
01:01:01I don't believe
01:01:02a word you say.
01:01:03Hallie, please,
01:01:04please believe me.
01:01:04That was a mistake.
01:01:06The only mistake
01:01:07I ever made
01:01:07was coming back here.
01:01:10I don't know
01:01:10what I thought I'd find.
01:01:12but now I know.
01:01:15I dodged a bullet
01:01:16seven years ago.
01:01:17I don't know what I've said.
01:01:22I'd like to inform
01:01:23Senator Ned Vogel
01:01:24that his perfect
01:01:25little fiancé
01:01:26is cheating on him
01:01:28with her husband.
01:01:30Don't worry,
01:01:31I have pictures
01:01:32to prove it.
01:01:33No this isn't a prank phone call. I have proof.
01:01:40What? No I'm not lying. Hello? Hello?
01:01:48I guess I'll just have to go to the New York Post with this one.
01:01:53You're buried, Hallie.
01:01:56Ned, hi.
01:01:59Hallie, great news. I just got off the phone with my lawyer. He said because you're giving up custody, parenting class is unnecessary.
01:02:06So you can sign the papers today and you'll be divorced by tomorrow.
01:02:11Tomorrow?
01:02:12Yeah. I already got a schedule for a gala Saturday, a fundraising brunch on Sunday.
01:02:18I can't wait to get you back on my arm in that pretty little black dress of yours.
01:02:22Me either.
01:02:24Well you don't sound very happy.
01:02:27What about Natalie? My daughter?
01:02:31What are you going to do, Hallie? Bring the kid with you to New York? Co-parent with your ex? No.
01:02:37Look, if you want to have a baby, we can have a baby. Together.
01:02:42But I'm not going to raise someone else's kids, okay?
01:02:44Just sign over the custody and divorce him.
01:02:47Today. There's nothing there for you anymore, Hallie.
01:02:51Not anymore.
01:02:57You're right. There is nothing left for me here.
01:03:00Hallie...
01:03:01I'm giving up custody. And going back to New York.
01:03:05You win, Craig.
01:03:06You win?
01:03:07You 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 that you can say that will change anything.
01:03:21The damage is done.
01:03:23Let's just...
01:03:25Sign the papers and end this marriage.
01:03:30Party one agrees to give up full custody.
01:03:33Correct?
01:03:35That's right.
01:03:36Okay, so regarding the parental rights of Natalie Hallie Brody...
01:03:40What? Hallie?
01:03:42Her middle name is Hallie?
01:03:44She's your daughter, too.
01:03:46She's your daughter, too.
01:03:47She's your daughter, too.
01:03:50Oh, my...
01:03:51She belongs here.
01:03:54I'm not gonna raise someone else's kid.
01:03:57Ma'am...
01:03:58They sounded the dotted line.
01:03:59It's... really over.
01:04:02Now for the divorce papers.
01:04:25Is that it?
01:04:35Yes.
01:04:36Congratulations.
01:04:37In 24 hours, you'll be ex-husband and wife.
01:04:41It was nice being married to you, Hallie Bovner.
01:04:44Wish I could say the same, Craig Brody.
01:04:48Lulu.
01:04:49Um...
01:04:50I'll be back in the city by tonight.
01:04:51Rebook my meetings and...
01:04:52get me a pedicure appointment.
01:04:53Thank God.
01:04:54I thought you were never coming back.
01:04:55But...
01:04:56Then I remembered.
01:04:57You're Hallie Bovner.
01:04:58Your work is your life.
01:04:59Shhh.
01:05:00My life.
01:05:01Right.
01:05:02Um...
01:05:03By the way, did you ever do that favor I asked?
01:05:05Oh, you mean that favor where I went to 50 different toy stores all over the city just for one special kid?
01:05:13Yes, I did.
01:05:14Which might I ask?
01:05:15I'm sorry.
01:05:16I'm sorry.
01:05:17I'm sorry.
01:05:18I'm sorry.
01:05:19I'm sorry.
01:05:20I'm sorry.
01:05:21I'm sorry.
01:05:22I'm sorry.
01:05:23I'm sorry.
01:05:24I'm sorry.
01:05:25I'm sorry.
01:05:26I'm sorry.
01:05:27I'm sorry.
01:05:28I'm sorry.
01:05:29I'm sorry.
01:05:30I'm sorry.
01:05:31Might I ask?
01:05:32Who is this special child?
01:05:36My daughter.
01:05:43A monster truck 300?!
01:05:45This is the best present ever!
01:05:48Who's next?
01:05:50Damn.
01:05:51Why don't you get Natalie's present over with?
01:05:53We all know it's gonna be the worst.
01:05:55Here it is!
01:05:57Look how tiny it is!
01:05:59Catch!
01:06:00It's probably a gum wrapper.
01:06:05Or a half-meat-an-apple.
01:06:07She's so poor she probably can't afford anything else.
01:06:12Guys, be nice.
01:06:14At least it's not a tree branch like last time!
01:06:19It was a walking stick and my dad made it.
01:06:22That's right!
01:06:23You're a dad!
01:06:24Because where's your mom again?
01:06:25That's right!
01:06:26Nowhere!
01:06:27Oops!
01:06:28Hope it wasn't fragile!
01:06:29It's a friendship bracelet!
01:06:30Friendship?
01:06:31We're not friends!
01:06:32That's so sad!
01:06:33I can't believe you actually invited this freak to your party!
01:06:36My mom forced me to!
01:06:38If you had a mom, she'd help you pick out a real present, not this dumb piece of string!
01:06:43I do have a mom!
01:06:44Then where is she?
01:06:46She lives in New York and she's a powerful CEO!
01:06:47Why do you make up a story like that?
01:06:48If your mom was a powerful CEO, she would let you give better gifts than this, Momless Loser?
01:07:10Mom-less Loser?!
01:07:14Mom-less Loser?
01:07:15Mom-less 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.
01:07:31Don't ever forget that.
01:07:33You were wrong, Mommy. And you left me.
01:07:35You know what?
01:07:37Forget this!
01:07:47Hi, I have a delivery for Sam Baker.
01:07:49That's me!
01:07:53These must be for my uncle.
01:07:55He's super rich!
01:07:57Where do you think you're going?
01:07:59I never should have come. I'm getting out of here.
01:08:03Actually, you're gonna stay here and watch what real presents look like.
01:08:07Yeah, and maybe next time you'll come up with something better than a stupid piece of string.
01:08:13A pickleball racket?
01:08:15A Nintendo Switch?
01:08:17A build room bar kit?
01:08:19An e-scooter?
01:08:21A Monster Truck 400?
01:08:23These must cost a fortune!
01:08:27Uncle Rick is the best!
01:08:29Uh, actually, these gifts are from Natalie's mom.
01:08:37My mommy. She does love me.
01:08:39Wait! This has to be a prank! Natalie is just lying about her mom!
01:08:43She isn't real!
01:08:45Well, someone very real signed for these purchase orders herself.
01:08:47All $15,000 worth of them.
01:08:49$15,000?!
01:08:51How rich is she?!
01:08:53Like I said, she's a powerful CEO in New York.
01:08:57And she's too busy to care what you small town losers think.
01:09:01No wait! No! Where are you going?
01:09:03Uh, it's okay! You can sit next to me!
01:09:07No! Sit next to me!
01:09:09I want to be friends with you if you pay me!
01:09:13Enjoy the presents, loser!
01:09:15And your cake is dry, by the way!
01:09:17And your cake is dry, by the way!
01:09:19I don't know if you can hear me, but I wanted you to know I'm going back to New York, okay?
01:09:35You were right about Craig.
01:09:37He's a liar.
01:09:39And a cheat.
01:09:41And the man I'm about to marry?
01:09:43He's rich.
01:09:45Handsome.
01:09:47Successful.
01:09:49Exactly.
01:09:51The kind of man you would have wanted for me.
01:09:55I'll miss you, okay?
01:09:57You're running towards something.
01:10:01Back to your life.
01:10:03Go!
01:10:05Your father's in good hands.
01:10:07I promise.
01:10:09Would you look after Natalie for me?
01:10:11Of course.
01:10:27Hi.
01:10:28Thank you for building your first classes to the left.
01:10:30Thank you so much.
01:10:33Natalie!
01:10:34Natalie!
01:10:35What are you doing here?
01:10:37I'm coming with you to New York!
01:10:41Natalie, it's...
01:10:43It's not that simple.
01:10:45Look, your father and I, we...
01:10:47We got divorced.
01:10:48But that doesn't mean you can't still be my mommy.
01:10:51Actually, it does.
01:10:53Look, you belong here.
01:10:55With your father.
01:10:57So do you, mommy.
01:10:58I know you do and so does daddy.
01:11:00Wait, uh, what?
01:11:02Daddy sometimes talks in his sleep.
01:11:05He's always saying sorry to you and how much he loves you.
01:11:11This will always belong to Hallie.
01:11:14And so will my heart.
01:11:16What is this doing here?
01:11:19Whatever he did, I think he feels really bad about it.
01:11:22And I think he's still in love with you.
01:11:24Ma'am, the boarding is closing.
01:11:27Are you coming?
01:11:30Yes, we're coming.
01:11:33I'm sorry, sweetie.
01:11:34I can't let you fly.
01:11:35Not without a ticket.
01:11:37Ma'am, you'll need to choose.
01:11:38Are you staying here with her or are you flying to New York?
01:11:41We're closing the doors in one minute.
01:11:46The flight departs in one minute.
01:11:48Come on, Natalie.
01:11:49I'll take you home.
01:11:50Oh, my God.
01:11:51Where'd you find her?
01:11:52Um, she was at the airport.
01:11:53Airport?
01:11:54I wanted to go up to New York City with mommy.
01:11:55She knows.
01:11:56Craig.
01:11:57Natalie, can you give us a minute?
01:11:58Okay, daddy.
01:11:59Thank you for bringing her with you.
01:12:00Of course.
01:12:01I'll take you home.
01:12:02I'll take you home.
01:12:03Oh, my God.
01:12:04Oh, my God.
01:12:05Where'd you find her?
01:12:06She was at the airport.
01:12:07Airport?
01:12:08I wanted to go up to New York City with mommy.
01:12:10She knows.
01:12:11Craig.
01:12:12Okay.
01:12:15Natalie, can you give us a minute?
01:12:17Okay, daddy.
01:12:19Thank you for bringing her with you.
01:12:21Of course.
01:12:24But, um, before I go, I have a favor to ask.
01:12:28Anything.
01:12:30Bye, Natalie, a mother.
01:12:32Just make sure it's not Trista.
01:12:35Okay?
01:12:37Okay.
01:12:38Okay.
01:12:41Bye.
01:12:42After all these years, he never gave up on us.
01:13:10After all these years, he never gave up on us.
01:13:20You probably could have come up with something better.
01:13:22No, it's perfect.
01:13:27How long have you been working all this?
01:13:30A few years now.
01:13:33Ever since I left?
01:13:36Maybe.
01:13:37But...
01:13:40Why?
01:13:42I couldn't let our dream die just because our marriage did.
01:13:47Crazy dream?
01:13:49Doesn't look so crazy anymore, does it?
01:13:52No, it doesn't.
01:13:54Allie, not a day goes by where I don't think about you.
01:13:58And I know, I know you won't believe a word I say, but I thought maybe you'd believe something you could see.
01:14:07Is that us?
01:14:08Yeah, it is.
01:14:09Yeah, it is.
01:14:10I love you.
01:14:11And I never stopped.
01:14:12I love you.
01:14:13And I never stopped.
01:14:14You.
01:14:15I love you.
01:14:16And I never stopped.
01:14:17I love you.
01:14:21I love you.
01:14:23And I never stopped.
01:14:24I love you, and I never stopped.
01:14:44I've missed this for so long.
01:14:47I've wanted this for so long.
01:14:50No, we have to stop.
01:14:54The 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.
01:15:09It won't be.
01:15:12What? What do you mean?
01:15:15Got this in the mail today.
01:15:17My plans were approved, but Derp Diggle bought up 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.
01:15:30I don't have a choice.
01:15:32What if I said I could help?
01:15:39I could help.
01:15:39Go back to New York, Allie.
01:15:44Don't worry about someone's tiny little dream in a nowhere town.
01:15:50This was our dream, Craig.
01:15:55Besides, you helped me out with their dick once.
01:15:58She said she's not interested, bro.
01:16:04Now let me help you.
01:16:15Lulu.
01:16:16Um, change of plans.
01:16:19Send all of our best contractors to Franklin, Tennessee.
01:16:22Also, cancel my pedicure appointment.
01:16:24Have you come to withdraw your application, Craig?
01:16:33I knew you couldn't afford it.
01:16:34Well, actually, I just came to give you the deposit.
01:16:38We break ground tomorrow.
01:16:42We.
01:16:42We said we would fix this town up.
01:16:44Mm-hmm.
01:16:45And that is exactly what we're going to do.
01:16:48I never thought I'd see the day where our dream became a reality.
01:16:56No, it was always your dream.
01:16:58I was just happy to help.
01:17:02Lulu!
01:17:03Oh, my God.
01:17:05Wow, boss.
01:17:06No wonder you never came back.
01:17:09You never told me your husband was a stone-cold heart.
01:17:11Oh.
01:17:12Ex-husband.
01:17:15Right.
01:17:15Right.
01:17:15Right.
01:17:16Allie.
01:17:20Ned.
01:17:21Hi.
01:17:23Um, what are you doing here?
01:17:25I told you I would be back next week.
01:17:26You want to tell me what the meaning of this is?
01:17:33You told me there was nothing going on between you two.
01:17:36Are you trying to embarrass me on a national stage?
01:17:39No, um, no.
01:17:40Ned, I am so sorry.
01:17:42I, uh, is your campaign okay?
01:17:45It's fine.
01:17:46For now.
01:17:47Luckily, this is just a mock-up.
01:17:49Post gave it to us before going to press.
01:17:51Get in.
01:17:53I am taking you home.
01:17:56Ned, I told you this project is important.
01:17:59Hallie, you build multi-billion dollar skyscrapers.
01:18:02Not whatever this is.
01:18:04Not whatever this is.
01:18:05This matters.
01:18:07A sad little shopping mall in a sad little town?
01:18:11Come on, Hallie.
01:18:13You're better than this.
01:18:15What's that supposed to mean?
01:18:17Being back here, it has you confused.
01:18:20You don't know what you want.
01:18:21You don't know who you really are anymore.
01:18:24But this is your past.
01:18:27I am your future.
01:18:30Remember?
01:18:31You still want to marry me?
01:18:34Even after that?
01:18:35Yes.
01:18:36In fact, I want to move the wedding up.
01:18:39Let's get married right now.
01:18:40Let's get married right now.
01:18:46Right now?
01:18:48Um.
01:18:49Excuse me.
01:18:53Hey.
01:18:54Seeing these photos, it made me realize how much you mean to me.
01:18:59I can't lose you, Hallie.
01:19:01I don't want to lose you.
01:19:03Please.
01:19:05Marry me.
01:19:08You're going to marry her?
01:19:11She was cheating on you.
01:19:15Who are you?
01:19:16I'm the woman that took these photos.
01:19:19So, you admit to sabotaging a political campaign.
01:19:23What?
01:19:24No.
01:19:25Ma'am, you're lucky the senator doesn't press charges.
01:19:28Come with me.
01:19:28What?
01:19:29No, no, no.
01:19:30You will not win this one, Hallie.
01:19:33No, don't touch me.
01:19:36Ned, this all just feels a little fast.
01:19:40Yeah, but is it, Hallie?
01:19:41What are we waiting for?
01:19:46What are we waiting for?
01:19:49I don't know.
01:19:51Quit fucking around and marry me already.
01:19:54What's the rush, Ned?
01:19:56The post agreed to kill the cheating story if we give them something better.
01:20:02Something like...
01:20:03A wedding, for example.
01:20:06You want to marry me for a story?
01:20:09Come on, Hallie.
01:20:11We're going to get married anyway.
01:20:13What difference does it make?
01:20:14Was this whole thing just a publicity stunt?
01:20:19Our engagement?
01:20:21Our relationship?
01:20:22No.
01:20:23Of course not.
01:20:24I love you.
01:20:25Then what's my favorite color, Ned?
01:20:28Oh, come on, Hallie.
01:20:30My favorite flower?
01:20:34My favorite flower?
01:20:35I don't know.
01:20:37Roses?
01:20:37Does it even matter?
01:20:39Yes, it does.
01:20:42I'm sorry, Ned, but I can't marry you.
01:20:48Yes, you can.
01:20:49Because if you don't, I can make your life very difficult.
01:20:54Starting with those big city contracts you just won.
01:20:57I spent years of blood, sweat, and tears to get those contracts.
01:21:01But once I'm elected, I can make Marco poof.
01:21:05I have friends in very high places, Hallie.
01:21:08No, you wouldn't dare.
01:21:10I've worked my entire career for those.
01:21:12Well, then the answer is simple.
01:21:14Marry me.
01:21:16We'll lose everything.
01:21:18Come on, Hallie.
01:21:19This is not a difficult choice.
01:21:22You're hurting me.
01:21:23If you think this is pain, you haven't felt anything yet.
01:21:26Get off!
01:21:27Neither of you.
01:21:39My suit.
01:21:41My jaw.
01:21:43You broke my face.
01:21:45Good.
01:21:46Looks better that way, in my opinion.
01:21:48I have you arrested for assault a government official.
01:21:51There isn't a cop who will side with you over me.
01:21:54Not in this town.
01:21:55And by the way, her favorite color is blue, and her favorite flower is the marigold, because
01:22:03it blooms from spring to fall.
01:22:06There you go.
01:22:07I hope that suit wasn't too expensive.
01:22:10This suit is worth more than you make in a year.
01:22:13Isn't that something?
01:22:15It's time for you to leave, Senator.
01:22:17Come on, Hallie.
01:22:18Hallie, you're not going to give up everything just for some pathetic small-town nobody.
01:22:24Yeah, he may be from a small town, but he is not a nobody.
01:22:29In fact, if I had to choose a son-in-law, I'd pick him over you any day of the week.
01:22:36Daddy!
01:22:39Hallie, I am so sorry for everything.
01:22:42Starting with meddling in your marriage.
01:22:45Meddling?
01:22:46I...
01:22:46I'm the one that made Craig divorce.
01:22:49I told him if he really loved you, he'd let you go.
01:22:53He did.
01:22:57I thought you deserved more than a small town.
01:23:00More than a local boy like him.
01:23:03She does, sir.
01:23:05Come on, Hallie.
01:23:07He divorced you.
01:23:09He gave up a daughter for you.
01:23:10So what if I want to marry you for a story?
01:23:13People get married for worse reasons.
01:23:15And they get divorced for better ones.
01:23:19I don't care what you think, old man.
01:23:21Hallie, you're coming with me.
01:23:22You stay away from my daughter.
01:23:24Hallie, I am not leaving.
01:23:27You owe it to me to go through this wedding.
01:23:29I've had about enough of people telling me who I should and shouldn't marry.
01:23:36Get out of here, Ned.
01:23:38It's over between us.
01:23:40Get out of here, Ned.
01:23:45It's over between us.
01:23:48Fine.
01:23:50But I hope you know what you're giving up, Hallie.
01:23:54I most certainly do.
01:24:01It was too big anyway.
01:24:05Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:24:07What about me?
01:24:08I'll marry you.
01:24:09You know, I'm sure the Post would love to see me at a wedding gown.
01:24:14And I would look way better than Hallie ever would.
01:24:17Not in a million years.
01:24:18I owe you both an apology for trying to play God.
01:24:35Daddy, hear me out.
01:24:36Daddy, hear me out.
01:24:37When I was in the hospital and I hooked up to all those machines, I just, I kept having
01:24:43the same wonderful dream.
01:24:45this dream, this dream where you were both living the life you deserve, I took that future and
01:24:54that life away from you.
01:24:58Hallie, Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:25:03Hallie, Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:25:06How?
01:25:07How?
01:25:07This should be enough for me.
01:25:10I want her on that plane, alone, whatever it takes.
01:25:15I tried to pay him off and this is what he did with the money.
01:25:24I've never seen someone work so hard for love.
01:25:27Is this true, Craig?
01:25:30Mm-hmm.
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
01:25:39what was right.
01:25:41You were protecting me.
01:25:43That's right.
01:25:45You two are the only family you have left.
01:25:51Unless...
01:25:52Let 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, you can make me
01:26:05the happiest man in the world if you marry me again.
01:26:10Yeah?
01:26:10Yes.
01:26:11Yes, Craig, I'll marry you.
01:26:13Oh, perfect fit.
01:26:20It always was.
01:26:23Mommy, Daddy, I knew you'd come back together.
01:26:26Oh, she did.
01:26:27All right, come on.
01:26:28Come on.
01:26:29Up we go.
01:26:30Dale, that wasn't such a crazy dream.
01:26:32I'd like you to meet your granddaughter, Natalie Hallie Brody.
01:26:36My dream came true.
01:26:39Hi, Grandpa.
01:26:40Hallie, this is crazy, but if we run, we can make it to the town clerk before it closes.
01:26:46I do not want to be divorced from you one second longer.
01:26:49Me either.
01:26:50Me either.
01:26:51Yeah?
01:26:51Yeah?
01:26:52Okay, what do we think?
01:26:53Who's up for a wedding?
01:26:56Yeah?
01:26:57Yeah?
01:26:58Yeah?
01:27:02Hi.
01:27:04Um, we would like to get remarried.
01:27:08I can't accept your remarriage.
01:27:10That's ridiculous.
01:27:12Uh, what?
01:27:13Why?
01:27:14Well, because you were never really divorced in the first place.
01:27:23Look right here.
01:27:24You 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?
01:27:37Well, that's, uh, that's void.
01:27:43So, you're still Natalie's parents.
01:27:48Mommy!
01:27:52Daddy.
01:27:55I forgive you.
01:27:56I've got seven units to make up for.
01:28:15I've got seven units to make up for.
01:28:19I've got seven units to make up for.
01:28:23I just want to thank you all for your faith in me.
01:28:31And as your new mayor, I promise to work tirelessly
01:28:35to bring this town back to what it once was.
01:28:38Starting with the community center
01:28:41that Craig and Hallie so generously built.
01:28:47We love you, Mel, Martha.
01:28:48Love you.
01:28:53What do you think I'm going to talk to you?
01:28:57I don't know.
01:28:58She's my partner.
01:28:59I don't know.
01:29:00It's pretty cute.
01:29:02Looks like they found a story to replace me with after all.
01:29:11Is there a really baby right there?
01:29:14Yes.
01:29:15We're going to be one big happy family.
01:29:16We're going to be one big happy family.
01:29:18We're going to be one big happy family.
01:29:20There we go.
01:29:24We're going to be one big happy family.
01:29:25Bye.
01:29:26See you next time.
01:29:28Bye.
01:29:29Bye.
01:29:30Bye.
01:29:30Bye.
01:29:31Bye.
01:29:31Bye.
01:29:31Bye.
01:29:32Bye.
01:29:40Bye.
01:29:42Bye.
01:29:44Bye.
01:29:45Bye.
01:29:45Bye.
01:29:47Bye.
01:29:48Bye.
01:29:48Bye.
01:29:49Bye.
01:29:50Bye.
