Short filmTranscript
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.
00:04:51Miss Tiltner! Miss Tiltner, you were just recognized by Time Magazine's top CEO to watch,
00:05:03and your company is taking the New York architecture scene by storm.
00:05:06What's next for you?
00:05:08Um, I don't know. Taking over the world?
00:05:12Well, you and your boyfriend, billionaire politician Ned Vogel, are quite the power couple.
00:05:16He must be so proud.
00:05:18I'm not doing any of this for a man's approval.
00:05:20Well, word on the street is he's planning on proposing.
00:05:23You must be the luckiest girl in the world.
00:05:27The luckiest girl in the world?
00:05:29Right.
00:05:30Miss Tiltner!
00:05:41Oh my God.
00:05:43Ali Bildner, you are the most impressive woman I've ever met.
00:05:53You are my soul mate.
00:05:55Will you marry me?
00:06:10Will you marry me?
00:06:12How are you both here?
00:06:13I love you more than anything.
00:06:15You are my soulmate and the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:06:18Will you make me the luckiest man in the world and marry me?
00:06:22Allie.
00:06:23Allie.
00:06:23You're really leaving me to sweat here.
00:06:28And this suit is way too expensive for them.
00:06:30The most eligible bachelor in the country is proposing to me.
00:06:34So why am I thinking about Craig?
00:06:36He was a jerk and a liar.
00:06:38And I need to move on with my life.
00:06:43Of course I'll marry you.
00:06:44This ring must have cost a fortune.
00:06:55You're so lucky.
00:06:58When's the wedding?
00:06:59Ned wants to get married as soon as possible.
00:07:01Oh, you know, Hallie would love a hot tea.
00:07:07You have a problem.
00:07:09And that is?
00:07:10You're already married to a Craig Brody?
00:07:14He never signed the divorce papers?
00:07:21He never signed the divorce papers?
00:07:23So you're still married?
00:07:25He was my high school sweetheart.
00:07:28We got married.
00:07:30But it didn't work out.
00:07:33I thought he had signed the divorce papers.
00:07:35You thought?
00:07:35Yes.
00:07:36Hallie, the election is in six weeks.
00:07:39This could ruin my campaign.
00:07:40Just imagine the headlines.
00:07:42Senator's fiancee.
00:07:43Already a wife?
00:07:44I will get him to sign the papers.
00:07:46You better.
00:07:48Or there won't be a future for us, Hallie.
00:07:49I gotta take this.
00:07:53It's my campaign manager.
00:07:55But this is important.
00:07:56Yeah, so is this.
00:08:01Clarence.
00:08:01What's going on, buddy?
00:08:02Talk to me.
00:08:08Motherfucker.
00:08:19I never thought I'd hear from you again, Hallie.
00:08:33Thanks for meeting me here, Trista.
00:08:36So, you really ended it with her.
00:08:39What does it look like?
00:08:42Yeah.
00:08:43She's really gone.
00:08:45Good.
00:08:46So, there's this romantic movie playing at Cinema 6.
00:08:49I thought me and you can go and watch and we can cuddle.
00:08:53We're not going anywhere together, Trista.
00:08:56My heart still belongs to Hallie.
00:08:59And it always will.
00:09:01I don't understand.
00:09:03Sometimes, when you truly love someone,
00:09:08you have to let them go.
00:09:10No matter how much it hurts.
00:09:15Thank you for your help.
00:09:19I hate you, Hallie, Brody!
00:09:31Your call has been forwarded to an automatic...
00:09:33Fine.
00:09:37You want me to come after you, Craig Brody?
00:09:39I will.
00:09:51Leave the bag.
00:09:52I'll be five minutes.
00:09:53It's been seven years, Craig Brody,
00:10:13and you broke my heart.
00:10:14Somehow, the peace is still beat for you.
00:10:24Hallie!
00:10:26What are you doing here, Hallie?
00:10:29Well, someone never signed the divorce papers,
00:10:32so we're still married.
00:10:34Sign the papers, Craig.
00:10:35I can't sign them.
00:10:38You can't?
00:10:39It's complicated.
00:10:42Then let me make it simple.
00:10:44I'm supposed to get married to,
00:10:46God, the man of my dreams,
00:10:47in six weeks.
00:10:48Only, the funny thing is,
00:10:49my ex-husband never signed the divorce papers.
00:10:53You're engaged.
00:10:54Yes, Craig!
00:10:56Or did you think I would never move on from you?
00:10:58Sign the papers!
00:10:59I can't sign them.
00:11:01Why not?
00:11:02There's something I have to tell you.
00:11:04Mommy!
00:11:07Oh, oh, ah.
00:11:12I can't sign them.
00:11:14Why not?
00:11:16Because we have a daughter together,
00:11:18and I never told you.
00:11:24You're finally approved.
00:11:27After all this time.
00:11:30You even remember?
00:11:34You have reached a number
00:11:39that has been disconnected
00:11:41or is no longer in service.
00:11:43Mommy!
00:11:44I'm sorry, but, um,
00:11:46I'm not your mommy.
00:11:48Yes, you are.
00:11:49You are my mommy.
00:11:51Tell her, daddy.
00:11:52Uh, Craig?
00:11:54What is she talking about?
00:11:55Natalie, why don't you go grab the nest?
00:11:57Because I said we'd go catch bullfrogs, remember?
00:11:59Okay.
00:12:00Is mommy coming with us?
00:12:01No, mommy and daddy needs to have a chat.
00:12:04All right?
00:12:04Okay, daddy.
00:12:08You want to tell me what the hell is going on?
00:12:11Well...
00:12:16Allie didn't come here to get back together.
00:12:19She came here to divorce me,
00:12:21and I have to let her move on.
00:12:28I tracked you down
00:12:29in the library
00:12:30in New York,
00:12:32and you were there with another guy.
00:12:35You looked happy.
00:12:38You looked free.
00:12:38Well?
00:12:50Um, you...
00:12:51You know, kids.
00:12:55Active imaginations.
00:12:56She thinks every woman
00:12:57who comes on the farm
00:12:58is her mom.
00:12:59All right, listen,
00:13:00just leave the papers
00:13:01on the counter
00:13:02and I'll sign them.
00:13:03I have a flight back to New York
00:13:04in three hours,
00:13:05and I am not leaving here
00:13:06without these papers signed.
00:13:07Well, I'm not signing them
00:13:09until I read them over first.
00:13:11Why, Craig?
00:13:13It's not like you have
00:13:14anything that I want.
00:13:15What do you have
00:13:16that I could possibly want?
00:13:19I'm ready, daddy.
00:13:21Okay, um...
00:13:22I promise I'll sign, okay?
00:13:24I know better
00:13:25than to trust your promises, Craig.
00:13:27I got one for you too, mommy.
00:13:29Uh...
00:13:29Oh, yeah.
00:13:30So, Miss Allie
00:13:31is going back to New York,
00:13:33so it's just gonna be
00:13:34you and me, kiddo.
00:13:34Like always.
00:13:35Okay.
00:13:35I...
00:13:37I'm sorry.
00:13:38Just leave them
00:13:39in the living room.
00:13:40I'll sign them.
00:13:40Let's go, ma'am.
00:13:41Don't, no...
00:13:41Don't, no...
00:14:12No cell service still? Guess I'm walking. Mommy, help! Daddy's hurt.
00:14:38What happened? Daddy got bit by a big snake.
00:14:42Yeah. Oh.
00:14:45Corporate? Daddy?
00:14:53You still remember how to dry out snake venom?
00:14:56Well, I haven't forgotten everything you taught me, Craig Brody.
00:15:04Here, keep the pressure on.
00:15:05Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay.
00:15:08Your daddy will be fine. I promise.
00:15:10Hold still.
00:15:21Okay.
00:15:22All right. Keep the pressure on.
00:15:31So, your daughter?
00:15:33Mm-hmm.
00:15:34She looks about...
00:15:36Seven years old.
00:15:37So, she's Trista's.
00:15:41No.
00:15:42She's yours.
00:15:45She's yours.
00:15:46So, if she's not Trista's, how many other women were you sleeping with while we were together?
00:15:51I 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 a snake stand 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.
00:19:13Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:19:14Let's go and see.
00:19:36It's been to Eric Walker who hasn't got me a bunch of people who don't go in here, but I think I just wanted to take the action hump off it.
00:19:39Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:19:42haven't seen before. Daddy? Do you know where McHaley went? Uh, no. I haven't seen her. Do you think she
00:19:56left us, Daddy? You know what? Just give me five minutes and I'll help you look, okay, sweetie? Okay, Daddy.
00:20:07Ow!
00:20:12Greg, I'm engaged to someone else. You're also married to me. I don't come this kid.
00:20:37Anyway, sir. I should go.
00:20:44Oh. Hey. Hey. So I found the divorce papers.
00:21:05Natalie! Oh, I think she wants to keep us married. Would that be such a bad thing?
00:21:14Hello! I brought scones! What the hell are you doing here?
00:21:28Craig and Trista are still together?
00:21:30I mean, hi, baby. I hope I'm not interrupting anything. What a pleasant surprise, Holly.
00:21:38Hi. Uh, excuse me.
00:21:44What the fuck are you doing here? It's none of your business. Actually, where Craig's concerned,
00:21:51it is. So, you and Craig are still together?
00:21:56We're not going anywhere together, Trista. My heart still belongs to Hallie, and it always
00:22:03will. Still together? Why, of course we're still together. We've been inseparable. Ever
00:22:11since that day at the airport, the day that Craig chose me over you. Don't tell me you've
00:22:16forgotten. How could I? It's the worst day of my life.
00:22:23Oh, sorry to hear that. Because it was a pretty good day for me. I'm sure it was.
00:22:29Listen, if you're here to win Craig back, it's too late. Because I'm pretty sure he's planning
00:22:34on proposing to me any day now. So I need you to get your skinny little ass out of my town.
00:22:40Here, take a pastry for the rest. I insist. Eat it. Because it's the closest you'll get
00:22:53to tasting Craig's mouth ever again. Oh my God! You New York bitch!
00:23:03Oh my God! You think you can just waltz back in here and pick up where you left off? Craig
00:23:14will always choose me over you. What the hell is going on?
00:23:23Help! Help! My ankle! My ankle! That crazy bitch! Like I said, he will always choose me over you.
00:23:32Are you okay? Why are you asking her? I'm the one who's injured.
00:23:39All I did was offer her a scone and then she called it dog food and then she kicked me.
00:23:46Aw, poor little thing. You got scone all over you. It's okay, Hallie. I forgive you. Even if you did break my leg.
00:23:57I didn't touch you. I need to put your petty jealousy aside. Craig divorced you for a reason.
00:24:04Coming back here to diaper him back is just...
00:24:08Actually, I didn't divorce Hallie. She's still my wife.
00:24:13What?
00:24:16Hallie is still my wife. Which means you just insulted her in her own house. So please leave Trista.
00:24:24Wait, baby. This is just one big misunderstanding.
00:24:27You heard my daddy get out of our house before we call the cops.
00:24:33Oh my god, ew. What is that disgusting creature? I'm gonna vomit.
00:24:39Good job, Lucy. You know what? I should go.
00:24:42Hallie...
00:24:47It was nice meeting you, Hallie.
00:24:50I'm sorry.
00:24:57Lulu, call me back.
00:25:01Hallie...
00:25:02You know, I never understood why you left me for Trista. Of all people, you knew I couldn't stand her.
00:25:08That's why I did it. Because I knew it would hurt the most.
00:25:12Seeing her again, it just reminded me of the worst day of my life.
00:25:19Hallie...
00:25:21There's something I need to tell you about Trista.
00:25:26I don't want to talk about Trista anymore, okay? I have to take this.
00:25:29Lulu, can you email me another copy of the divorce papers ASAP?
00:25:33Another copy? What happened to the originals?
00:25:35Uh, it's a long story. Can you do it?
00:25:41It's Saturday. City Hall's closed until Monday. You're gonna need a certified copy.
00:25:47I think you're gonna have to stay the weekend there, boss. I hope that's not a big problem.
00:25:52No, uh, of course not.
00:25:55Well, looks like I am staying until Monday.
00:25:58Until I can get a new copy of the divorce papers.
00:26:00God, I don't have anything. Not a change of clothes, not even a toothbrush.
00:26:04Can you just drive me to the store?
00:26:07Okay. Okay.
00:26:09Hey, Miss Hallie is staying.
00:26:11Stop looking at him like that, Hallie. You can't have feelings for him.
00:26:33Even if he is... your husband.
00:26:36I can't believe how... bad the town looks.
00:26:48When the factory closed, half the stores went with it.
00:26:52Well, at least Martha's diner is still here.
00:26:55Martha May makes the best burgers in the world.
00:26:58Yeah.
00:27:00Remember our crazy dream?
00:27:03Fix this place up?
00:27:04I don't understand.
00:27:06So?
00:27:08You 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. It's really competitive.
00:27:17Of course you will. I mean, it may be fools not to take you.
00:27:21You think so?
00:27:23Oh, yeah. I know so.
00:27:25Well, after that, I want to come back here.
00:27:27Fix this town up.
00:27:29I am a pretty good glamour. I need an assistant.
00:27:31How about a partner?
00:27:34Ooh.
00:27:38Sounds perfect.
00:27:40Man, I could really go for a burger right now.
00:27:44I have an idea.
00:27:47Where are you taking me, Craig Brody?
00:27:49A picnic. Just like old times.
00:27:56Allow me.
00:27:58Oh!
00:28:00I hate you, Hallie!
00:28:02Wow, it's just like in high school.
00:28:14Still looks the same, doesn't it?
00:28:16And feels the same.
00:28:19I love you, Hallie Bildner.
00:28:22I want you to know,
00:28:24I will never, ever hurt you.
00:28:27I'm so sorry for hurting you, Hallie.
00:28:31Natalie?
00:28:33And I were supposed to eat these on our fishing trip.
00:28:37You?
00:28:38She'll forgive me.
00:28:42Triangles.
00:28:43Just the way you tell me.
00:28:45It's Natalie's favorite way to eat them too.
00:28:47Oh, I have to take this.
00:28:50Hey.
00:28:52Hallie.
00:28:53The press wants to know why we haven't been seen together.
00:28:55They think we broke up.
00:28:57You need to get back here right now.
00:28:58I can't yet.
00:29:00I need to get new divorce papers in city halls closed until Monday.
00:29:04New divorce papers? What?
00:29:06Your location says you're at your old high school.
00:29:08What the hell is going on?
00:29:10It's complicated.
00:29:12No, it is not complicated.
00:29:14Okay, look.
00:29:16I am pulling in a favor from the governor.
00:29:18We're going to get those papers expedited,
00:29:19and we are going to force that husband of yours into signing.
00:29:22And we are going to force that husband of yours into signing.
00:29:25And we are going to force that husband of yours into signing.
00:29:28them if we have to.
00:29:29I need you on the next flight back in an hour.
00:29:33In a couple?
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:35That's not going to be a problem, is it?
00:29:39Of course not.
00:29:44I have to go.
00:29:47You wouldn't mind taking me to the airport, would you?
00:29:51Of course not.
00:29:59Just...
00:30:01Sign the papers when you get them, Craig.
00:30:03Okay? It's the least you can do.
00:30:05This is my last chance to tell her the truth.
00:30:09Well...
00:30:11Goodbye.
00:30:13I guess.
00:30:14I...
00:30:15No, Craig.
00:30:16Oh, I'm...
00:30:17done waiting.
00:30:19It's time for me to move on.
00:30:24Hello?
00:30:26What?
00:30:28Are you sure?
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:31Okay.
00:30:32Um...
00:30:33It's...
00:30:34my father.
00:30:35He's...
00:30:36had a stroke.
00:30:37He's at the community hospital.
00:30:38I'll drive you.
00:30:41Unless you're getting on that flight.
00:30:44No, uh...
00:30:45No, of course not.
00:30:46Okay, good, good, good.
00:30:47Come on.
00:30:50What's going on?
00:30:51The neighbor found him this morning.
00:30:53On the lawn.
00:30:54Hallie!
00:30:55I 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...
00:31:00difficult considering his condition.
00:31:03His condition?
00:31:04Your father is dying, Hallie.
00:31:06Of kidney failure.
00:31:11How long does he have?
00:31:13A couple weeks.
00:31:14Maybe 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.
00:31:34Allie.
00:31:41Craig's divorcing me.
00:31:43He's been cheating on me.
00:31:45I knew that bastard wasn't good enough for you.
00:31:48But at least you found out before he followed you to Paris.
00:31:51No, I'm not going to Paris.
00:31:53I can't get on that plane.
00:31:55What?
00:31:57Craig was right.
00:31:58I'm not...
00:31:59I'm not a real architect.
00:32:00Everyone's gonna laugh at me.
00:32:02You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:32:03But, Daddy, I...
00:32:05If you come back now, you'll be a laughing stock.
00:32:08You'll be a divorced loser.
00:32:10No one will want you.
00:32:11Not Craig.
00:32:13Not even me.
00:32:16Daddy?
00:32:18You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:32:19You're fine, Hallie.
00:32:20I never want to see you again.
00:32:21You are a disgrace.
00:32:22Nobody's ever been so mean to me.
00:32:34Except you. That is.
00:32:36God, it's like the two of you were in cahoots.
00:32:42Should I tell her that we were?
00:32:46If I tell her the truth, she'll never forgive her dying father.
00:32:51Didn't work out for the best, though.
00:32:54I mean, look at the life you've built for yourself.
00:32:58You 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.
00:33:10What?
00:33:15Natalie?
00:33:17Daddy.
00:33:18I'm scared.
00:33:20It's dark and there's someone outside.
00:33:22I'll be right there.
00:33:23Keep the doors locked.
00:33:25I have to go.
00:33:26No, I'm coming with you.
00:33:27Hallie, this isn't something that...
00:33:28I'm coming with you.
00:33:30Okay, okay, come on.
00:33:33Natalie?
00:33:35Oh my god.
00:33:36Oh my god.
00:33:38Thank god.
00:33:41I was so scared.
00:33:43It's okay.
00:33:44It's okay.
00:33:45You're okay.
00:33:46Must have been raccoons.
00:33:48Broken through the window.
00:33:50Probably those scones, huh?
00:33:53Yeah.
00:33:54I'm so sorry for leaving you alone for so long.
00:33:56No, it's my fault.
00:33:58No, no, no, no.
00:33:59I was happy to help, but...
00:34:01I think you missed your flight.
00:34:04So you're saying we could watch a movie together?
00:34:07I guess we can.
00:34:10I guess we can.
00:34:15Miss Haley, come closer.
00:34:21Daddy, come closer.
00:34:22Come closer.
00:34:26Isn't this great? Just the three of us.
00:34:32This blanket always makes my daddy fall asleep.
00:34:52Oh my god.
00:35:11I love you, Allie Brody.
00:35:15Why 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.
00:35:34Oh my god.
00:35:38Oh my god.
00:35:42Allie.
00:35:43Mommy and Daddy, I made breakfast.
00:35:56Do you like it? I made pancakes.
00:35:59They are excellent, sweetie.
00:36:01Mm-hmm.
00:36:03This is what families do. They eat breakfast together.
00:36:10What's up?
00:36:11What's up?
00:36:17There'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.
00:36:39I grew up without a mom too, you know.
00:36:44And 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. She 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.
00:37:13Okay, Miss Allie. I'll go to the party. Thanks.
00:37:22Oh, no.
00:37:25Excuse me. Um, I have to take this.
00:37:33I see you got my messages.
00:37:36Delete that photo, Trista.
00:37:38Oh, which one? Because...
00:37:40I 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?
00:37:56Then prove it.
00:37:57Walk away now and leave this town for good.
00:38:00Otherwise...
00:38:01These photos...
00:38:03Would go to the senator.
00:38:06I could ruin you, Hallie.
00:38:08So don't mess with my life, and I won't mess with yours.
00:38:19Hey. Everything okay?
00:38:22Fine.
00:38:23Who were you talking to?
00:38:25Oh, uh, my, uh, fiancé's lawyer.
00:38:27He'll be by with new divorce papers.
00:38:30Um, I have to go.
00:38:33Right now?
00:38:34Yes.
00:38:35I'm sorry, but yes.
00:38:36Can you call me a cab?
00:38:37Hallie...
00:38:38Call me a cab, Craig.
00:38:40Okay.
00:38:41My plan didn't work, Lucy.
00:38:42I guess Mommy isn't in love with Daddy after all.
00:38:46Martha May?
00:38:47Family builder!
00:38:48As I live and breathe!
00:38:49Oh!
00:38:50Oh, how are you so skinny?
00:38:51I thought that city of yours had a restaurant on every block.
00:38:53Oh, well they do, but none of them make a burger as good as you do.
00:38:54Oh, well that's nice to know I'll be remembered fondly at least.
00:38:59What?
00:39:00Don't tell me you're shutting down.
00:39:01Yeah, I don't have a choice.
00:39:02Rants gone up and I can't afford the place anymore.
00:39:03No, no, there must be something I can do.
00:39:05Mayor Diggle, shut it down.
00:39:06Mayor.
00:39:07Mayor.
00:39:08Mayor.
00:39:09Mayor.
00:39:10Diggle.
00:39:11Mayor.
00:39:12Mayor.
00:39:13Mayor.
00:39:14Diggle.
00:39:15Mayor.
00:39:16Mayor.
00:39:17Mayor.
00:39:18Mayor.
00:39:19Mayor.
00:39:20Mayor.
00:39:21Mayor.
00:39:22Mayor.
00:39:23Mayor.
00:39:24Mayor.
00:39:25Mayor.
00:39:26Mayor.
00:39:27Mayor.
00:39:28Mayor.
00:39:29Dirk, I can't believe you're shutting down Martha's Diner. It's a town institution.
00:39:37Is it? Or 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. Twelve months' rent in advance.
00:40:03Listen, you think I want your money? No. I had something more interesting in mind. You!
00:40:08You're disgusting!
00:40:10Listen, Craig was here to save you last time, but he's not here now. Looks 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. This is just like how I used to arrest you when you was back in high school.
00:40:38My wife, huh?
00:40:49Some habits are hard to break.
00:40:52God, this is so not funny. Ned is running for senator. What 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. I should have sent my assistant. I should have hired a lawyer!
00:41:06Then why didn't you? I think you wanted to see me. I think you wanted to see me.
00:41:15In your dreams, I have moved on to bigger and better things.
00:41:19Yeah, I heard about that. That 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.
00:41:31Oh my God.
00:41:31What about the blue collars? Hmm? What about the people you came from?
00:41:35I've tried to forget where I came from.
00:41:38Okay, 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.
00:41:56Your bail's been posted.
00:41:59You're free to go.
00:42:01Bail? By who?
00:42:04Hey, Howls.
00:42:07Ned.
00:42:12Hey, Howls.
00:42:14Ned.
00:42:14Ned.
00:42:14So, 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.
00:42:32I 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 spook.
00:42:41You guys, please, stop.
00:42:43No, you're right.
00:42:45I'm not here to argue with a man who's holding on to the past.
00:42:51We got the divorce papers expedited.
00:42:53So, you can sign them, Craig.
00:42:57This nonsense has gone on long enough.
00:43:00Can I really divorce Hallie?
00:43:03Without her knowing about her own daughter?
00:43:07Sign the papers.
00:43:09Or we take you to court.
00:43:12But I gotta tell you, my lawyer's a shark.
00:43:15Say something, Hallie.
00:43:18Say something to stop this.
00:43:21Sign the papers, Craig.
00:43:24Let me go.
00:43:25It's the least you can do.
00:43:34Wonderful.
00:43:35Wonderful.
00:43:35We will get these filed at the town hall.
00:43:38And you will be divorced in an hour.
00:43:41This 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.
00:43:58Bye.
00:43:58Bye.
00:43:58That 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, no, 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.
00:44:47Nothing.
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.
00:45:30Okay.
00:45:33Let's go.
00:45:37Fair wages, fair pay.
00:45:39We won't be the contract today.
00:45:41Let us through.
00:45:42No 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.
00:45:50Sorry, we can't do it.
00:45:55There you are, Mommy.
00:45:59Mommy?
00:46:00I 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.
00:46:20Another reason why I'm glad I don't have kids.
00:46:23Look, we need to get these signed.
00:46:25What's it going to cost me to make it happen?
00:46:27Whoa!
00:46:28Is this a city senate official bribing a city employee?
00:46:35You see, I have my fair share of scandals, but this, this is bad.
00:46:41Hallie, I see you got a fancy new fiance.
00:46:45What happened to your husband?
00:46:47He's still locked away in jail?
00:46:48I 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?
00:47:05Wait, Craig never told us-
00:47:07Fair wait is fair pay!
00:47:09Hey!
00:47:10Keep it down, all right?
00:47:11Or I'll write you up for a noise violation.
00:47:13How about you pay us what we're owed and not waste our tax dollars on 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, just keep it down!
00:47:33Fair wait is fair pay!
00:47:36I'll sign that paper for you.
00:47:38Yeah.
00:47:39All right, good.
00:47:42Where's the rest of it?
00:47:43What?
00:47:44Well, I can't sign this without a custody agreement.
00:47:46A custody agreement?
00:47:48Sure, this child is just as much Hallie's as she is Craig's.
00:47:54You lied to me.
00:47:55No, 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.
00:48:06Geez, I would have thought he would have told 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, both parties have to attend a parenting class.
00:48:33The 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 before 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 and this marriage quickly and quietly.
00:48:53How come you never told me that Natalie is my daughter?
00:49:06Natalie.
00:49:07No!
00:49:07You were just going to let me divorce you, never knowing that Natalie is my daughter?
00:49:12Shh.
00:49:12Shh.
00:49:12The adoption went through after you left.
00:49:23You didn't think I deserved to know?
00:49:26You could have called, written anything!
00:49:29I tried.
00:49:31What?
00:49:31And you were there with another guy.
00:49:37You looked happy.
00:49:39You looked free.
00:49:41Seems you don't need me and Natalie anymore.
00:49:44And that's why you never told me that I had a daughter?
00:49:48You looked like you'd moved on.
00:49:52Moved on?
00:49:53It took me years to move on.
00:49:58And honestly, I don't know if I ever have.
00:50:04Forget it.
00:50:06It doesn't matter now anyway.
00:50:10Here.
00:50:14Parenting class.
00:50:17We need to take it in order to get divorced.
00:50:20Custody.
00:50:21Co-parenting.
00:50:24Legally, Natalie is just as much mine as 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?
00:50:51Maya, what's going on?
00:51:03Daddy!
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 to see you again.
00:51:14No fighting to see me?
00:51:17No, if anything, he'd be pissed to know I'm back.
00:51:20My dad hates me.
00:51:22That's not possible.
00:51:23Holly, he talks about you all the time.
00:51:26He does?
00:51:28Yep.
00:51:28Every Monday and Thursday at dialysis.
00:51:31That's how I know about your fancy job and your fancy boyfriend.
00:51:35None of this makes any sense.
00:51:39Holly, are you okay?
00:51:41Yep.
00:51:41Um, yeah, today's just been a lot.
00:51:46Maya, did, uh, you know that Natalie's my daughter?
00:51:51My shift ends in five minutes.
00:51:57Do you want to grab a drink?
00:52:00Craig has never revealed who Natalie's mother was, but he's never been with anyone since you,
00:52:06so we figured...
00:52:07Wait a second.
00:52:07Uh, he's never been with anyone since me?
00:52:11No, he left me for Trista.
00:52:13I saw him.
00:52:14Trista, she's been after him for years, sure, but he'd never touch her with a ten-foot pole.
00:52:19I don't understand.
00:52:21Just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:52:24Craig!
00:52:27Oh my God.
00:52:37Excuse me, Maya.
00:52:38I need to get to the bottom of this.
00:52:39Good to see you, Hallie.
00:52:50I know the truth.
00:52:52You were never with Trista.
00:52:55So tell me the truth about everything.
00:52:58Right now.
00:53:03Pay me for it.
00:53:06If you win, I'll tell you.
00:53:09Looks like big city living hasn't doled your A-Metal.
00:53:19No, if anything.
00:53:21Maybe sharper.
00:53:28You two are playing like your lives depend on it.
00:53:36Well, kind of do.
00:53:39Oops.
00:53:48If you do that again, I might just have to take you right here on 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?
00:54:02You came here to divorce me.
00:54:05What good would the truth do?
00:54:07I'll be the one to decide that.
00:54:22Now.
00:54:24Pass up.
00:54:24You scratched.
00:54:33I win.
00:54:37Thank you, ladies.
00:54:40But I gotta go.
00:54:42I have an early start.
00:54:43Maybe I can find some clues in my father's room.
00:54:54Why didn't my father tell me he was sick?
00:54:57And why won't anyone just tell me the truth?
00:54:59This will always belong to Hallie.
00:55:14And so will my heart.
00:55:15What is this doing here?
00:55:16What was this doing in my father's bedroom?
00:55:25Uh, Hallie...
00:55:26Tell me.
00:55:27Why was this in my father's room?
00:55:31Don't tell me you're about to propose, Hallie.
00:55:33What are you doing here?
00:55:37Surprise!
00:55:37I'm teaching the course.
00:55:40It's time for the two of you to get divorced.
00:55:44I mean, this is what you both want, right?
00:55:48Of course.
00:55:50Hallie, you are Natalie's mother after all.
00:55:53Yes, but she doesn't know I get that, so please keep this between us.
00:55:57I will always do you a favor, Craig.
00:55:59You know that.
00:56:01Okay.
00:56:02First topic.
00:56:03How'd you explain to your child why you're not together anymore?
00:56:07Uh, simple.
00:56:08Her father is a lying, manipulative jerk who hid the fact that I had a daughter for five years.
00:56:15Not to mention whatever other secrets he's keeping.
00:56:18And what would you have done if I'd come up to you in the library that day?
00:56:21Hallie, be honest.
00:56:22You're starting a new life somewhere else.
00:56:24Because you made me believe there was nothing left for me here.
00:56:27So what are you going to do?
00:56:29You're going to take Natalie to New York?
00:56:31Maybe.
00:56:32She belongs here.
00:56:35Not in New York with central air and no pair.
00:56:39And I will be damned if I let Ned Vogel be my daughter's stepfather.
00:56:44Jealous, Craig.
00:56:46You know, of all the things Ned is, he's never lied to me.
00:56:48Never torn my world apart without so much as 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 that day when I told you that I didn't love you anymore.
00:57:03I'm done.
00:57:04I won't even fall in love with you.
00:57:08I knew it.
00:57:08You just came here and you ruined everything like that.
00:57:11I knew you would.
00:57:11You ruined what exactly?
00:57:13I know the truth, Trista.
00:57:15You and Craig were never together.
00:57:18And that's about to change, sweetie.
00:57:21Once those divorce papers are finalized, Craig will have no choice but to choose me.
00:57:25Besides, Natalie needs a mother.
00:57:27You 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 off to boarding school.
00:57:36After all these years, her father and I deserve some alone time.
00:57:40I mean, don't you think?
00:57:42Don't you dare.
00:57:47Go back to New York, Hallie.
00:57:49None of this concerns of you anymore.
00:57:51I think I'll go comfort your husband now.
00:57:53Oh, he looks upset.
00:58:14Let me out!
00:58:15Somebody!
00:58:19I'm so sorry about that.
00:58:21I didn't realize Hallie would try to provoke you like that.
00:58:24Oh, Hallie was right.
00:58:26I should have told her about Natalie.
00:58:28It was unfair.
00:58:29I need to apologize.
00:58:31Do you?
00:58:31Because you and I both know what Hallie would have chosen all those years ago.
00:58:35And it wouldn't have been you and them.
00:58:36I don't, because I never gave her the chance.
00:58:39I did.
00:58:40What?
00:58:41All those years ago, I told her about Natalie.
00:58:48I don't understand.
00:58:52I care about you, Craig.
00:58:54And I would never, ever lie to you.
00:58:57I told her that you had a daughter together.
00:59:00And she never even tried to contact you.
00:59:02Did she?
00:59:07I'm so sorry I didn't tell you before, but I was just trying to protect you.
00:59:12She said that the last thing that she wanted was a daughter with you.
00:59:14She said that.
00:59:17Yes.
00:59:18In fact, she said that she didn't want any kids at all.
00:59:21Hallie was born to be a mother.
00:59:23That's all she's ever wanted.
00:59:25Is it?
00:59:27This is from the judge.
00:59:28She's planning on giving up full custody.
00:59:32She's going to New York.
00:59:33She has no interest in fighting for you or Natalie.
00:59:37But I do.
00:59:38What are you doing?
00:59:48I'm just trying to help you move on, Craig.
00:59:52Hallie will never choose you.
00:59:54But I will.
00:59:55It's not going to happen, Trista.
00:59:58It's not.
00:59:59Natalie.
00:59:59Natalie needs a mother.
01:00:01You know it and 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?
01:00:10What did you do to her?
01:00:12Nothing.
01:00:13Nothing.
01:00:13This was a mistake.
01:00:15Having you help me out all those years ago is the biggest regret of my life.
01:00:19It's never going to happen.
01:00:21No matter what happens with me and Hallie.
01:00:25You want to play it like that?
01:00:32So be it.
01:00:38Hi!
01:00:39I'd like to speak to Senator Ned Vogel, please.
01:00:46Are you okay?
01:00:48Don't.
01:00:50Why do you care, Craig?
01:00:51Is everything you tell me a lie?
01:00:53What?
01:00:54I saw you kissing Trista.
01:00:56Don't try and deny it.
01:00:58You told me you loved me.
01:01:01I don't believe a word you say.
01:01:03Hallie, please, please believe me.
01:01:04That was a mistake.
01:01:06The only mistake I ever made was coming back here.
01:01:10I don't know what I thought I'd find.
01:01:13But now I know.
01:01:15I dodged a bullet seven years ago.
01:01:17I don't know.
01:01:21Hi.
01:01:21Hi.
01:01:22I'd like to inform Senator Ned Vogel that his perfect little fiancé is cheating on him with her husband.
01:01:30And don't worry.
01:01:31I have pictures to prove it.
01:01:33No, this isn't a prank phone call.
01:01:39I have proof.
01:01:43What?
01:01:43What?
01:01:44No, I'm not lying.
01:01:46Hello?
01:01:47Hello?
01:01:48Hello?
01:01:48I guess I'll just have to go to the New York Post with this one.
01:01:54You're buried, Hallie.
01:01:58Ned, hi.
01:02:00Hallie, great news.
01:02:01I just got off the phone with my lawyer.
01:02:03He said because you're giving up custody, parenting class is unnecessary.
01:02:07So, you can sign the papers today and you'll be divorced by tomorrow.
01:02:12Tomorrow?
01:02:13Yeah.
01:02:14I 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.
01:02:23Me either.
01:02:25Well, you don't sound very happy.
01:02:27It's just...
01:02:27What about Natalie?
01:02:30My daughter?
01:02:31What are you going to do, Hallie?
01:02:32Bring the kid with you to New York?
01:02:34Co-parent with your ex?
01:02:35No.
01:02:37Look, if you want to have a baby, we can have a baby.
01:02:41Together.
01:02:42But I'm not going to raise someone else's kids, okay?
01:02:44Just sign over the custody and divorce it.
01:02:48Today.
01:02:49There's nothing there for you anymore, Hallie.
01:02:52Not anymore.
01:02:57You're right.
01:02:57There is nothing left for me here.
01:03:00How are you...
01:03:01I'm giving up custody.
01:03:03And going back to New York.
01:03:05You win, Craig.
01:03:06When?
01:03:08You never wanted me to be a part of Natalie's life.
01:03:10Or yours.
01:03:13Well, congratulations.
01:03:15You got your wish.
01:03:16Hallie, please just hear me out.
01:03:17That's not the full story.
01:03:19There is nothing that you can say that will change anything.
01:03:22The damage is done.
01:03:23Let's just sign 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.
01:03:41What?
01:03:42Hallie?
01:03:43Her middle name is Hallie?
01:03:45She's your daughter, too.
01:03:47She's your daughter, too.
01:03:49Oh, my...
01:03:51She belongs here.
01:03:56I'm not going to raise someone else's kid.
01:04:01Ma'am?
01:04:03Please sign in the dotted line.
01:04:03It's really over.
01:04:24Now for the divorce papers.
01:04:26Is that it?
01:04:36Yes.
01:04:37Congratulations.
01:04:39In 24 hours, you'll be ex-husband and wife.
01:04:42It was nice being married to you, Hallie Bovner.
01:04:47Wish I could say the same, Craig Brody.
01:04:49Lulu, um, I'll be back in the city by tonight.
01:04:59Rebook my meetings and get me a pedicure appointment.
01:05:03Thank God.
01:05:04I thought you were never coming back.
01:05:05But then I remembered.
01:05:07You're Hallie Bovner.
01:05:09Your work is your life.
01:05:12My life.
01:05:14Right.
01:05:18Oh, um.
01:05:19By the way, did you ever do that favor I asked?
01:05:21Oh, you mean that favor where I went to 50 different toy stores all over the city just for one special kid?
01:05:28Yes, I did.
01:05:31Which, might I ask, who is this special child?
01:05:36My daughter.
01:05:42A Monster Truck 300?
01:05:45This is the best present ever!
01:05:47Who's next?
01:05:50Damn.
01:05:51Why don't you get Natalie's present over with?
01:05:53We all know it's going to 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.
01:06:06Or a half-meat-an-apple.
01:06:08She's so poor, she probably can't afford anything else.
01:06:13Guys, be nice.
01:06:15At least it's no tree branch like last time.
01:06:18It was a walking stick and my dad made it.
01:06:22That's right, your dad.
01:06:24Because where's your mom again?
01:06:26That's right.
01:06:27Nowhere.
01:06:30Oops.
01:06:31Hope it wasn't fragile.
01:06:33It's a friendship bracelet.
01:06:40Friendship?
01:06:41We're not friends.
01:06:43That's so sad.
01:06:45I can't believe you actually invited this freak to your party.
01:06:50My mom forced me to.
01:06:51If you had a mom, she'd help you pick out a real present.
01:06:55Not this dumb piece of string.
01:06:57I do have a mom.
01:06:59Then, where is she?
01:07:01She lives in New York and she's a powerful CEO.
01:07:04Why do you make up a story like that?
01:07:06If your mom was a powerful CEO, she would give you better gifts than this.
01:07:13Momless loser.
01:07:15Momless loser.
01:07:17Momless loser.
01:07:19Momless loser.
01:07:21Momless loser.
01:07:23Momless loser.
01:07:25Momless loser.
01:07:28Nobody can take your power away from you except you.
01:07:32Don't ever forget that.
01:07:33You were wrong, Mommy.
01:07:34And you left me.
01:07:36You know what?
01:07:37Forget this.
01:07:47Hi.
01:07:47I have a delivery for Sam Baker.
01:07:50That's me.
01:07:53These must be for my uncle.
01:07:56He's super rich.
01:07:58Where do you think you're going?
01:08:00I never shouldn't have come.
01:08:01I'm getting out of here.
01:08:03Actually, you're going to stay here and watch what real presents look like.
01:08:08Yeah, and maybe next time you'll come up with something better than a stupid piece of string.
01:08:13A pickleball racket?
01:08:15Nintendo switch?
01:08:17A build room bar kit?
01:08:18An e-scooter?
01:08:20An e-scooter?
01:08:20A monster truck 400?
01:08:24These must cost a fortune.
01:08:27Uncle Rick is the best.
01:08:30Actually, these gifts are from Natalie's mom.
01:08:33My mommy, she does love me.
01:08:39Wait, this has to be a prank.
01:08:42Natalie is just lying about her mom.
01:08:44She isn't real.
01:08:45Well, someone very real signed for these purchase orders herself.
01:08:49All $15,000 worth of them.
01:08:50$15,000?
01:08:53How rich is she?
01:08:55Like I said, she's a powerful CEO in New York.
01:08:58And she's too busy to care what you small-town losers think.
01:09:03No, wait, no.
01:09:04Where are you going?
01:09:05Uh, it's okay.
01:09:06You can sit next to me.
01:09:07No, sit next to me.
01:09:10I want to be friends with you if you pay me.
01:09:13Enjoy the presents, loser.
01:09:17And your cake is dry, by the way.
01:09:25Daddy.
01:09:28I don't know if you can hear me, but I wanted you to know I'm going back to New York.
01:09:34Okay?
01:09:35You were right about Craig.
01:09:37He's a liar.
01:09:40And a cheat.
01:09:41And the man I'm about to marry?
01:09:44He's rich.
01:09:47Handsome.
01:09:49Successful.
01:09:51Exactly.
01:09:52The kind of man you would have wanted for me.
01:09:55I'll miss you.
01:09:57Okay?
01:10:00You're running towards something.
01:10:02Back to your life.
01:10:04Go.
01:10:06Your father's in good hands.
01:10:07I promise.
01:10:09Would you look after Natalie for me?
01:10:11Of course.
01:10:11I'm coming with you to New York.
01:10:13I'm coming with you to New York.
01:10:27I'm coming with you to New York.
01:10:28I'm coming with you to New York.
01:10:30Thank you so much.
01:10:33Natalie!
01:10:35Natalie!
01:10:35Natalie!
01:10:35What are you doing here?
01:10:37I'm coming with you to New York.
01:10:41Natalie, it's...
01:10:42It'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.
01:10:52Actually, it does.
01:10:54Look, you belong here.
01:10:56With your father.
01:10:57So do you, mommy.
01:10:58I know you do and so does daddy.
01:11:01Wait, what?
01:11:02Daddy sometimes talks in his sleep.
01:11:05He's always saying sorry to you and how much he loves you.
01:11:08This will always belong to Hallie.
01:11:14This 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.
01:11:26Ma'am, the boarding is closing.
01:11:28Are you coming?
01:11:30Yes, we're coming.
01:11:33I'm sorry, sweetie.
01:11:34I can't let you fly.
01:11:35I'm not without a ticket.
01:11:36Ma'am, you'll need to choose.
01:11:39Are 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.
01:11:52Come on, Natalie.
01:11:54I'll take you home.
01:12:00Oh, my God.
01:12:03Where'd you find her?
01:12:04She was at the airport.
01:12:06Airport.
01:12:07I wanted to go up to New York City with Mommy.
01:12:10She knows.
01:12:12Craig.
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 favorite.
01:12:27I'll see you.
01:12:28Anything.
01:12:29Bye, Natalie, and Mother.
01:12:32Just make sure it's not Trista.
01:12:34Okay.
01:12:35Okay.
01:12:37Okay.
01:12:41Bye.
01:12:41Bye.
01:12:42Bye.
01:12:42Bye.
01:12:42Bye.
01:12:42Bye.
01:12:42Bye.
01:12:42Bye.
01:12:42Bye.
01:12:43Bye.
01:12:43Bye.
01:12:44Bye.
01:12:44Bye.
01:12:44Bye.
01:12:45Bye.
01:12:45Bye.
01:12:45Bye.
01:12:45Bye.
01:12:45Bye.
01:12:45Bye.
01:12:45Bye.
01:12:45Bye.
01:12:45Bye.
01:12:45Bye.
01:12:46Bye.
01:12:46Bye.
01:12:46Bye.
01:12:46Bye.
01:12:47Bye.
01:12:47Bye.
01:12:47Bye.
01:12:47Bye.
01:12:47Bye.
01:12:48Bye.
01:12:48Bye.
01:12:48Bye.
01:12:48Bye.
01:12:49Bye.
01:12:49Bye.
01:12:49Bye.
01:12:49Bye.
01:12:49Bye.
01:12:49Bye.
01:12:50Bye.
01:12:50Bye.
01:12:51Bye.
01:12:51Bye.
01:12:51Bye.
01:12:51Bye.
01:12:52Bye.
01:12:53Bye.
01:12:53Bye.
01:12:54After all these years, he never gave up on us.
01:13:11After all these years, he never gave up on us.
01:13:20You probably could have come up with something better.
01:13:22No, it's perfect.
01:13:27How long have you been working on this?
01:13:30A few years now.
01:13:33Ever since I left?
01:13:36Maybe.
01:13:39But why?
01:13:42I couldn't let our dream die just because our marriage did.
01:13:47A crazy dream?
01:13:48It doesn't look so crazy anymore, does it?
01:13:53No, it doesn't.
01:13:54Ellie, not a day goes by where I don't think about you.
01:14:00And 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?
01:14:18Yeah, it is.
01:14:19I love you.
01:14:27And I never stopped.
01:14:29I've missed this for so long.
01:14:47I've wanted this for so long.
01:14:50No, we have to stop.
01:14:55The 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?
01:15:07That's the thing.
01:15:09It won't be.
01:15:12What?
01:15:13What do you mean?
01:15:15Got this in the mail today.
01:15:17My plans were approved, but Dirk 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.
01:15:31What if I said, I could help.
01:15:39I could help.
01:15:41Go back to New York, Holly.
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 loss.
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.
01:17:13Right.
01:17:14Right.
01:17:15Right.
01:17:15Right.
01:17:16Right.
01:17:16Right.
01:17:18Allie.
01:17:20Ned, hi.
01:17:23What 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.
01:17:43I, uh, is your campaign okay?
01:17:45It's fine for now.
01:17:46Well, luckily, this is just a mock-up.
01:17:49Post gave it to us before going to press.
01:17:52Get 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.
01:18:03Not whatever this is.
01:18:06This 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.
01:18:28I am your future.
01:18:30Remember?
01:18:30You 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.
01:18:44Let's get married right now.
01:18:46Right now?
01:18:48Um.
01:18:49Excuse me.
01:18:50Hey.
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.
01:19:18So, 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.
01:19:29No.
01:19:30No.
01:19:30You will not win this one, Hallie.
01:19:33No.
01:19:33Don'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?
01:19:45What are we waiting for?
01:19:48I 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.
01:21:26Neither 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.
01:22:00And her favorite flower is the marigold.
01:22:03Because it blooms from spring to fall.
01:22:06There you go.
01:22:08I hope that suit isn'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.
01:22:30In fact, if I had to choose a son-in-law, I'd pick him over you any day of the week.
01:22:35Daddy!
01:22:38Hallie, I am so sorry for everything.
01:22:42Starting with meddling in your marriage.
01:22:45Meddling?
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.
01:22:54I did.
01:22:54I thought you deserved more than a small town, more 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.
01:23:43Get 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.
01:24:20Oh my gosh, ew!
01:24:22Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew.
01:24:23I owe you both an apology for trying to play God.
01:24:36Daddy.
01:24:36Hear me out.
01:24:37Hear me out.
01:24:38When I was in the hospital and I hooked up to all those machines, I just, I kept having
01:24:43this same wonderful dream.
01:24:46This dream where you were still together.
01:24:49This dream where you were both living the life you deserve.
01:24:52I took that future and that life away from you.
01:24:58Hallie.
01:24:59Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:25:03Hallie.
01:25:04Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:25:06How?
01:25:09This should be enough.
01:25:10I want her on that plane, alone, whatever it takes.
01:25:16I tried to pay him off.
01:25:21And this is what he did with the money.
01:25:24I've never seen someone work so hard for love.
01:25:28Is this true, Craig?
01:25:30Mm-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 he just thought he was doing
01:25:39what was right.
01:25:40You were protecting me.
01:25:43That's right.
01:25:45You two are the only family you have left.
01:25:49Unless.
01:25:53Would it be a part of your family again?
01:25:57Now, I know this ring isn't exactly as big as your old one, but some...
01:26:05can make me the happiest man in the world if you would marry me again.
01:26:08Yeah?
01:26:10Yes.
01:26:11Yes, Craig.
01:26:12I'll marry you.
01:26:13Oh, perfect fit.
01:26:20It always was.
01:26:23Mommy, Daddy, I knew you would come back together.
01:26:26Oh, she did.
01:26:27All right, come on.
01:26:28Come on.
01:26:29Up we go.
01:26:29Dale, 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.
01:26:39Allie, 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.
01:26:50Me 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?
01:26:59Yeah?
01:26:59Hi.
01:27:04Um, we would like to get remarried.
01:27:08I can't accept your remarriage.
01:27:11That's ridiculous.
01:27:12Uh, what?
01:27:13Why?
01:27:14I can't accept your remarriage.
01:27:17That's ridiculous.
01:27:18Uh, what?
01:27:19Why?
01:27:20Well, because you were never really divorced in the first place.
01:27:23Look right here.
01:27:24You signed your name Hallie Bildner.
01:27:27But your name is, and always has been, Hallie Brody.
01:27:31Will you look at that?
01:27:34Wait, so, um, that means the custody papers?
01:27:39Well, that's, uh, that's void.
01:27:43So, you're still Natalie's 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 just want to thank you all for your faith in me.
01:28:31And as your new mayor, I promise to work tirelessly to bring this town back to what it once was.
01:28:37Starting with the community center that Craig and Hallie so generously built.
01:28:47We love you, Milwartha.
01:28:48Love you.
01:28:49Love you.
01:28:56What do you think I'm going to talk to you?
01:29:00Looks like they found a story to replace me with after all.
01:29:04Is there a really big reindeer right there?
01:29:14Yes.
01:29:15We're going to be one big happy family.
