00:00:00Oh, Holly, you're in it.
00:00:10Hey!
00:00:11I hope you can get your head out of these architecture books, Holly, 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?
00:00:37Ow!
00:00:38You bitch!
00:00:42She 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.
00:00:56No!
00:00:57No!
00:01:06No! This is gonna cost a fortune to replace!
00:01:11You can have mine.
00:01:13No, I couldn't.
00:01:15Yeah, you could. I've seen you in class. You are brilliant. You're gonna get way more use out of this than I ever would.
00:01:24Do you want to grab lunch? Or keep studying?
00:01:39Yeah.
00:01:40Yeah.
00:01:41Yeah?
00:01:42Grab lunch.
00:01:43We're doing great.
00:01:44And we're doing great.
00:01:45Yeah?
00:01:50I love that one.
00:01:51I want to do it.
00:01:52I love to have fun.
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!
00:02:02And, when we get back, we're gonna rebuild this town.
00:02:08Together.
00:02:10Allie, give me some ice.
00:02:13Sure, Daddy.
00:02:17Are 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.
00:02:26Uh, but, sir, we have a plan.
00:02:29We even applied to adopt a child.
00:02:32Even 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.
00:02:47But, sir, I love her more than anything.
00:02:49I promise I will always take care of her.
00:02:52And, you think that's important.
00:02:56She's going to be a world-class architect.
00:02:59You, you're...
00:03:00You'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.
00:03:12Yeah.
00:03:12This should be enough.
00:03:17I want her on that plane, alone.
00:03:25I want her on that plane, alone.
00:03:28For Mr. and Mrs. Craig Brody.
00:03:34We just got married.
00:03:36I got into an architecture program at Paris, and my new husband is coming with me.
00:03:41Actually, I'm not coming with you, Allie.
00:03:45What?
00:03:46Why?
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.
00:04:01Um, what, what?
00:04:03No, what about our plans?
00:04:07We were trying to start a family, Dan.
00:04:09No, the last person I'd want to start a family with is you, Allie.
00:04:13I want a divorce.
00:04:16No, no, but where is this coming from?
00:04:20Hi, Craig baby.
00:04:22Are you seeing Trista now?
00:04:25Yeah, just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:04:29Craig, no, what?
00:04:33I thought you believed in me.
00:04:37Ma'am, boarding is closing.
00:04:38Are you coming or not?
00:04:42Ma'am, boarding is closing.
00:04:44Are you coming or not?
00:04:47Yes, but I'd like to change my ticket to one way.
00:04:58Ms. Filtner!
00:04:59Ms. Filtner, 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.
00:05:10Taking over the world?
00:05:11Well, you and your boyfriend, billionaire politician, Ned Vogel,
00:05:14are 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.
00:05:25You're the luckiest girl in the world?
00:05:28Right.
00:05:29Ms. Filtner, I...
00:05:31Oh, my God.
00:05:42Allie Bildner, you are the most impressive woman I've ever met.
00:05:53You are my soulmate.
00:05:54Will you marry me?
00:06:10Will you marry me?
00:06:12Allie, Bildner, I 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?
00:06:24Oh, yeah.
00:06:25You're really leaving me to sweat here.
00:06:28And this suit is way too expensive for that.
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.
00:06:45This ring must have cost a fortune.
00:06:56You're so lucky.
00:06:58When's the wedding?
00:06:59Ned wants to get married as soon as possible.
00:07:02Oh, you know,
00:07:04Allie 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?
00:07:18He never signed the divorce papers?
00:07:23So you're still married?
00:07:26He was my high school sweetheart.
00:07:29We got married.
00:07:31But it didn't work out.
00:07:33I thought he had signed the divorce papers.
00:07:35You thought?
00:07:35Yes.
00:07:36Allie, the election is in six weeks.
00:07:39This could ruin my campaign.
00:07:41Just imagine the headlines.
00:07:42Senator's fiancée, already a wife?
00:07:44Aye.
00:07:45We'll get him to sign the papers.
00:07:46You better.
00:07:48Or there won't be a future for us, Allie.
00:07:52I gotta take this.
00:07:54It's my campaign manager.
00:07:55But this is important.
00:07:57Yeah, so is this.
00:08:01Clarence.
00:08:02What's going on, buddy?
00:08:02Talk to me.
00:08:06Motherfucker.
00:08:26I never thought I'd hear from you again, hon.
00:08:34Thanks for meeting me here, Trista.
00:08:35So, you really ended it with her.
00:08:39What does it look like?
00:08:42Yeah.
00:08:44She's really gone.
00:08:45Good.
00:08:46So, there's this romantic movie playing at Cinema 6.
00:08:50I 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 Allie.
00:08:59And it always will.
00:09:00I don't understand.
00:09:03Sometimes, when you truly love someone, you have to let them go.
00:09:10No matter how much it hurts.
00:09:15Thank you for your help.
00:09:17I hate you, Allie, Brody!
00:09:25I hate you, Allie, Brody!
00:09:31Your call has been forwarded to an automatic...
00:09:34Fine.
00:09:37Do you 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, and you broke my heart.
00:10:15Somehow, the peace is still beat for you.
00:10:24Allie!
00:10:26What are you doing here, Allie?
00:10:29Well, someone never signed the divorce papers, so we're still married.
00:10:34Sign the papers, Craig.
00:10:37I can't sign them.
00:10:38You can't.
00:10:40It's... complicated.
00:10:42Then let me make it simple.
00:10:43I'm supposed to get married to, God, the man of my dreams, in six weeks.
00:10:48Only, the funny thing is, my ex-husband never signed the divorce papers.
00:10:53You're engaged.
00:10:55Yes, Craig!
00:10:56Or did you think I would never move on from you?
00:10:58Sign the papers!
00:11:00I can't sign them.
00:11:01Why not?
00:11:03There's something I have to tell you.
00:11:05Mommy!
00:11:07Oh, oh, uh...
00:11:08I can't sign them.
00:11:15Why 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.
00:11:29Do you even remember?
00:11:36We're fine.
00:11:39You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:11:43Mommy!
00:11:45I'm sorry, but, um, I'm not your mommy.
00:11:48Yes, you are.
00:11:50You are my mommy.
00:11:51Tell her, Daddy.
00:11:52Uh...
00:11:53Uh, Craig?
00:11:54What is she talking about?
00:11:55Okay, Natalie, why don't you go grab the nests?
00:11:57Because I said we'd go catch bullfrogs, remember?
00:11:59Okay.
00:12:00Is Mommy coming with us?
00:12:02No, 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?
00:12:14Well...
00:12:15Allie 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.
00:12:25I tracked you down in the library in New York, and you were there with another guy.
00:12:36You looked happy.
00:12:38You looked free.
00:12:50Well?
00:12:50Um, you...
00:12:51You know, kids, active imaginations, she thinks every woman who comes on the farm is her mom.
00:12:59All right, listen, just leave the papers on the counter and I'll sign them.
00:13:03I have a flight back to New York in three hours, and I am not leaving here without these papers signed.
00:13:08Well, I'm not signing them until I read them over first.
00:13:11Why, Craig?
00:13:13It's not like you have anything that I want.
00:13:15What do you have that I could possibly want?
00:13:19I'm ready, Daddy.
00:13:21Okay, um, I promise I'll sign.
00:13:24Okay?
00:13:24I know better than to trust your promises, Craig.
00:13:27I got one for you too, Mommy.
00:13:28Uh...
00:13:29Oh, yeah.
00:13:30So, Miss Allie is going back to New York, so it's just gonna be you and me and go.
00:13:35Like always.
00:13:35Okay.
00:13:36I'm sorry.
00:13:38Just leave them in the living room.
00:13:40I'll sign them.
00:13:40Come on.
00:13:41Don't.
00:13:41Don't.
00:13:41Don't.
00:14:11Oh, no cell service still?
00:14:30Guess I'm walking.
00:14:33Mommy, help. Daddy's hurt.
00:14:38What happened?
00:14:40Daddy got bit by a big snake.
00:14:42Yeah.
00:14:43Oh.
00:14:45Copperhead?
00:14:46Mm-hmm.
00:14:51Daddy?
00:14:54You still remember how to dry out snake venom?
00:14:56Well, I haven't forgotten everything you taught me, Craig, buddy.
00:15:04Here, keep the pressure on.
00:15:06Okay.
00:15:06Your daddy will be fine.
00:15:10I promise.
00:15:18Hold still.
00:15:22Okay.
00:15:24Keep the pressure on.
00:15:31So, your daughter.
00:15:34She looks about...
00:15:35Seven years old.
00:15:39So, she's Trista's.
00:15:41No.
00:15:42She's yours.
00:15:45She's yours.
00:15:47So, 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.
00:16:12They just need another chance.
00:16:15Where are the divorce papers?
00:16:27No.
00:16:28Oh.
00:16:28Oh.
00:16:32I will check into the Pecoy Inn for tonight.
00:16:40And we can look for the divorce papers tomorrow.
00:16:43The Pecoy 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.
00:16:55Well, unless you want to stay outside, I guess you're stuck here.
00:17:00Fine, but I'm not staying in your room.
00:17:12Wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:14You can stay in my room with me and Lucy.
00:17:18There you go.
00:17:28Wow, I love your room.
00:17:29Thanks, my dad 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, but, uh, one day, the adoption will go through.
00:17:54We're going to have that baby, and you will be the most amazing.
00:18:00Good night, sweetheart.
00:18:25Good night, sweetheart.
00:18:27Good night, sweetheart.
00:18:31That logo.
00:18:33It's from the adoption agency.
00:18:36Is 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.
00:18:52It's from the adoption agency.
00:18:53Oh, my God.
00:19:10I guess I'm just remembering things wrong.
00:19:13It's nothing I haven't seen before.
00:19:43Daddy?
00:19:45Oh, God.
00:19:47Do 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, God.
00:20:13Greg, I'm engaged to someone else.
00:20:29You're also married to me.
00:20:33How could this get any mess here?
00:20:39I should go.
00:20:45Hey.
00:20:59Hey.
00:21:01Hey.
00:21:02So I found the divorce papers.
00:21:05Uh-huh.
00:21:07Natalie!
00:21:08I think she wants to keep us married.
00:21:11Would that be such a bad thing?
00:21:18Hello! I brought scones!
00:21:23What the hell are you doing here?
00:21:25Craig and Trista are still together?
00:21:30I mean...
00:21:31Hi, baby.
00:21:32I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
00:21:35What a pleasant surprise.
00:21:37Holly.
00:21:38Hi.
00:21:39Uh, excuse me.
00:21:40What the fuck are you doing here?
00:21:44What the fuck are you doing here?
00:21:46It's none of your business.
00:21:48Actually, where Craig's concerned, it is.
00:21:51So, you and Craig are still together?
00:21:57We're not going anywhere together, Trista.
00:22:00My heart still belongs to Hallie.
00:22:02And it always will.
00:22:06Still together?
00:22:07Why, of course we're still together.
00:22:09We've been inseparable.
00:22:10Ever since that day at the airport.
00:22:12The day that Craig chose me over you.
00:22:15Don't tell me you've forgotten.
00:22:20How could I?
00:22:21It was the worst day of my life.
00:22:23Hmm.
00:22:24I'm not really sure of that.
00:22:25Because it was a pretty good day for me.
00:22:28I'm sure it was.
00:22:29Listen.
00:22:30If you're here to win Craig back, it's too late.
00:22:32Because I'm pretty sure he's planning on proposing to me.
00:22:35Any day now.
00:22:37So I need you to get your skinny little ass out of my town.
00:22:40Okay?
00:22:41Come here.
00:22:42Take a pastry for the room.
00:22:44I insist.
00:22:50Eat it.
00:22:51Because it's the closest you'll get to tasting Craig's mouth ever.
00:22:54Again.
00:22:55Oh my god!
00:22:56You New York bitch!
00:22:57Oh my god!
00:22:58Oh my god!
00:22:59You New York bitch!
00:23:00Oh my god!
00:23:01Oh my god!
00:23:02Oh my god!
00:23:03Oh my god!
00:23:04Oh my god!
00:23:05Oh my god!
00:23:06Oh my god!
00:23:07Oh my god!
00:23:08Oh my god!
00:23:09Oh my god!
00:23:10Oh my god!
00:23:11You think you can just waltz back in here and pick up where you left off?
00:23:14Craig will always choose me over you.
00:23:17What the hell is going on here?!
00:23:22Oh my god!
00:23:23Oh my god!
00:23:24Oh my god!
00:23:25Oh my god!
00:23:26Oh my god!
00:23:27That crazy bitch!
00:23:30Like I said, he will always choose me over you.
00:23:34Are you okay?
00:23:36Why are you asking her? I'm the one who's injured.
00:23:42All I did was offer her a scone and then she called it dog food and then she kicked me.
00:23:49Aw, poor little thing. You got scone all over you.
00:23:53It's okay, Hallie. I forgive you. Even if you did break my leg.
00:23:57I didn't touch you.
00:23:59I need to put your petty jealousy aside. Craig divorced you for a reason.
00:24:03I'm coming back here to diaper and back is just...
00:24:07Actually, I didn't divorce Hallie. She's still my wife.
00:24:14What?
00:24:16Hallie is still my wife, which means you just insulted her in her own house.
00:24:21So 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?
00:24:36I'm gonna vomit.
00:24:39Good job, Lucy.
00:24:40You know what? I should go.
00:24:42Hallie.
00:24:47It was nice meeting you, Natalie.
00:24:50I'm sorry.
00:24:57Lulu. Call me back.
00:25:01Hallie.
00:25:02You know, I never understood why you left me for Trista.
00:25:06Of all people, you knew I couldn't stand her.
00:25:09That's why I didn't.
00:25:11Because I knew it would hurt me the most.
00:25:15Seeing her again just reminded me of the worst day of my life.
00:25:19Hallie.
00:25:21There's something I need to tell you about Trista.
00:25:26I don't want to talk about Trista anymore, okay?
00:25:28I have to take this.
00:25:29Lulu, can you email me another copy of the divorce papers ASAP?
00:25:33Another copy?
00:25:34What happened to the originals?
00:25:35Uh, it's a long story.
00:25:40Can you do it?
00:25:41It's Saturday.
00:25:42I...
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.
00:25:49I hope that's not a big problem.
00:25:51No, uh, of course not.
00:25:55Well, looks like I am staying until Monday.
00:25:58I'd like to get a new copy of the divorce papers.
00:26:00I don't have anything.
00:26:02Not a change of clothes, not even a toothbrush.
00:26:04You can just go to the store.
00:26:07Okay.
00:26:07Okay.
00:26:08Okay.
00:26:09Hey, Miss Hallie is staying.
00:26:11Stop looking at him like that, Hallie.
00:26:31You can't have feelings for him.
00:26:34Even if he is your husband.
00:26:36I 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's still here.
00:26:54Martha May makes the best burgers in the world.
00:26:58Yeah.
00:26:59Remember our crazy dream?
00:27:02You know, fix this place up?
00:27:04Receptive.
00:27:04So, you 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.
00:27:28Fix this town up.
00:27:28I am pretty good.
00:27:30I am a good neighbor.
00:27:31I need an assistant.
00:27:32How about a partner?
00:27:34Sounds perfect.
00:27:41Man, I could really go for a burger right now.
00:27:44I have an idea.
00:27:47Where are you taking me, Craig Brody?
00:27:52A picnic.
00:27:54Just like old times.
00:27:57Allow me.
00:27:57I hate you, Hallie.
00:28:12Wow, it's just like in high school.
00:28:14Still looks the same, doesn't it?
00:28:17And feels the same.
00:28:19I love you, Hallie Biltner.
00:28:22I want you to know I will never, ever hurt you.
00:28:28I'm so sorry for hurting you, Hallie.
00:28:32Natalie.
00:28:33And I were supposed to eat these on our fishing trip.
00:28:36I don't think she'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.
00:28:48Oh, I have to take this.
00:28:50Hey.
00:28:51Hallie.
00:28:52The press wants to know why we haven't been seen together.
00:28:55They think we broke up.
00:28:56You need to get back here right now.
00:28:58I can't yet.
00:29:04I need to get new divorce papers in city halls.
00:29:07It's closed 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?
00:29:14It's complicated.
00:29:17No, it is not complicated.
00:29:19Okay, look.
00:29:21I am pulling in a favor from the governor.
00:29:24We'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?
00:29:39Uh, of course not.
00:29:43Um, I have to go.
00:29:47So you wouldn't mind taking me to the airport, would you?
00:29:51Of course not.
00:29:55Just sign the papers when you get them, Craig.
00:30:03Okay?
00:30:03It's the least you can do.
00:30:06This is my last chance to tell her the truth.
00:30:09Well, goodbye, I guess.
00:30:14Holly, I...
00:30:14No, Craig.
00:30:16Oh, I'm done waiting.
00:30:18It's time for me to move on.
00:30:20Hello?
00:30:26What?
00:30:27Are you sure?
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:31Okay.
00:30:31Um, um, it's my father.
00:30:34He's had a stroke.
00:30:36He's at the community hospital.
00:30:37Oh, come on.
00:30:38I'll drive you.
00:30:41Unless you're getting on that flight.
00:30:44No, uh, no.
00:30:45Of course not.
00:30:46Okay, good, good, good.
00:30:47Come on.
00:30:47Come on.
00:30:47What'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.
00:31:11How long does he have?
00:31:13A couple weeks, maybe a month.
00:31:15I hope you're planning on sticking around this time.
00:31:19Excuse me.
00:31:24I had no idea.
00:31:26You didn't?
00:31:27When's the last time you saw him?
00:31:32Seven years ago.
00:31:39Hallie.
00:31:40Craig's divorcing me.
00:31:42He's been cheating on me.
00:31:44I knew that bastard wasn't good enough for you.
00:31:48At 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?
00:31:56Craig was right.
00:31:58I'm not a real architect.
00:32:00Everyone's going to laugh at me.
00:32:02You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:32:04But, Daddy, I...
00:32:05If you come back now, you'll be a laughingstock.
00:32:08You'll be a divorced loser.
00:32:10No one will want you.
00:32:11Not Craig.
00:32:13Not even me.
00:32:16Daddy?
00:32:17You 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?
00:32:47If I tell her the truth,
00:32:49she'll never forgive her dying father.
00:32:51It didn't work out for the best, though.
00:32:55I 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.
00:33:15Natalie?
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.
00:33:23Keep 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, okay, come on.
00:33:33Natalie?
00:33:35Oh, my God.
00:33:36Oh, my God.
00:33:37Oh, my God.
00:33:38Thank God.
00:33:39Oh.
00:33:40I 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, um, it's my fault.
00:33:58No, no, no, no.
00:33:58I was happy to help, but, um...
00:34:01I think you missed your flight.
00:34:04So you're saying we can watch a movie together?
00:34:07I, um, yes, we can.
00:34:15Miss Haley, come closer.
00:34:21Daddy, come closer.
00:34:26Isn't this great?
00:34:27Just the three of us.
00:34:32This blanket always makes my daddy fall asleep.
00:34:37Oh, my God.
00:35:07I love you, Allie Brody.
00:35:15Why does this feel so right?
00:35:20He'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.
00:35:38Oh, my God.
00:35:38Oh.
00:35:42Allie.
00:35:47Mommy and Daddy, I made breakfast.
00:35:49Oh.
00:35:49Oh.
00:35:50Oh.
00:35:50Oh.
00:35:50Oh.
00:35:50Oh.
00:35:51Oh.
00:35:51Oh.
00:35:52Oh.
00:35:52Oh.
00:35:53Oh.
00:35:53Oh.
00:35:54Oh.
00:35:54Oh.
00:35:55Oh.
00:35:55Oh.
00:35:56Oh.
00:35:56Oh.
00:35:57Oh.
00:35:57Oh, my God.
00:35:58Oh, my God.
00:35:59I made pancakes.
00:36:00They are excellent and sweet.
00:36:01Mm-hmm.
00:36:03This is what families do.
00:36:05They eat breakfast together.
00:36:11What's up?
00:36:17There's some stupid birthday invitation.
00:36:19All the kids from school will be there, 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.
00:36:40I 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. She checked.
00:37:03So go to that party with your head held high.
00:37:06No one can take your power from you unless you let them.
00:37:13Okay, Miss Allie. I'll go to the party. Thanks.
00:37:16Excuse me, um, I have to take this.
00:37:27I see you got my messages.
00:37:36Delete that photo, Trista.
00:37:38Oh, which one? Because I have plenty.
00:37:42What's the problem?
00:37:44A rich fiance 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. I came here to divorce him.
00:37:53Really?
00:37:55Then prove it. Walk away now and leave this town for good.
00:37:59Otherwise, these photos would 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.
00:38:12Hey, everything okay?
00:38:21Hi.
00:38:22Who are you talking to?
00:38:24Oh, uh, my, uh, fiance's lawyer.
00:38:27He'll be by with new divorce papers.
00:38:31Um, I have to go.
00:38:32Right now?
00:38:33Yes.
00:38:34I'm sorry, but yes.
00:38:36Can you call me a cab?
00:38:37Hallie...
00:38:38Call me a cab, Craig.
00:38:39Okay.
00:38:40Okay.
00:38:43My plan's gonna work, Lucy.
00:38:45I guess Mommy isn't in love with Daddy after all.
00:38:58Martha May!
00:38:59Family builder!
00:39:00As I live and breathe!
00:39:02Oh!
00:39:03Oh, 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.
00:39:14What?
00:39:15Don't tell me you're shutting down.
00:39:16Yeah, I don't have a choice.
00:39:18Rent's gone up and I can't afford the place anymore.
00:39:20No.
00:39:21No, there must be something I can do.
00:39:23Mayor Diggle, shut it down.
00:39:26Mayor Diggle.
00:39:28Mayor Diggle.
00:39:29Dirk, I can't believe you're shutting down Martha's Diner.
00:39:35It's a town institution.
00:39:37Is it?
00:39:38Or are you just upset about it because you and your boyfriend Craig used to go there?
00:39:42This isn't high school anymore, Dirk.
00:39:44And this isn't a game.
00:39:46What is it going to take for you to leave the diner alone?
00:39:49Well, you know I've always liked you, so how about you and me handle this privately?
00:39:57I'll pay you.
00:39:58Twelve months' rent in advance.
00:40:01Listen, you think I want your money?
00:40:04No, I had something more interesting in mind.
00:40:07You!
00:40:08You're disgusting!
00:40:09Listen, 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!
00:40:17Let go of my what?
00:40:19Well, you two are under arrest for assaulting the mayor.
00:40:34You know the drill.
00:40:35This is just like how I used to arrest you when you was back in high school.
00:40:44Your wife, huh?
00:40:48Some habits are hard to break.
00:40:51God, this is so not funny.
00:40:54Ned 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?
00:41:08I think you wanted to see me.
00:41:11I think you wanted to see me.
00:41:14In your dreams.
00:41:16I have moved on to bigger and better things.
00:41:18Yeah, I heard about that.
00:41:20That 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.
00:41:30Oh my god.
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.
00:41:43I'm not the same girl you married.
00:41:46I've built a life, a career.
00:41:49I should thank you.
00:41:52Because I couldn't have done it without you.
00:41:54Alright, lovebirds.
00:41:56Your bail's been posted.
00:41:58You're free to go.
00:42:00Bail by who?
00:42:02Hey, Howls.
00:42:08Ned.
00:42:13Hey, Howls.
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.
00:42:32Isn't that?
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 spirit.
00:42:41Guys, please stop.
00:42:42No, 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?
00:43:03Without her knowing about her own daughter?
00:43:07Sign the papers.
00:43:09Or we take you to court.
00:43:11But I gotta tell you, my lawyer's a shark.
00:43:14Say 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.
00:43:34Wonderful.
00:43:35We will get these filed at the town hall.
00:43:38And you will be divorced in an hour.
00:43:43This 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.
00:44:05That is who she ended up with.
00:44:08I always thought it'd be you.
00:44:10Yeah, well...
00:44:12Sometimes things don't work out the way we want them to.
00:44:16Hallie, what were you thinking?
00:44:19Jail?
00:44:20Are you trying to ruin my campaign?
00:44:22No.
00:44:23No, this has nothing to do with you.
00:44:26You are gonna be my wife.
00:44:29Everything you do reflects on me.
00:44:32Now, are there any other skeletons I should know about?
00:44:46No.
00:44:48Nothing.
00:44:51This town is just how you described it.
00:44:56Low-class, run-down, depressing.
00:45:00It isn't that bad.
00:45:03Those were your words, Hallie.
00:45:05What's gotten into you?
00:45:06I don't know.
00:45:08Just...
00:45:10Being back here...
00:45:12Should I remind you how lucky you are to have gotten out?
00:45:17Last signature, Miss Bilner.
00:45:19And you'll be free and clear to be the wife of Aseni.
00:45:30Okay.
00:45:33Let's go.
00:45:38Fair 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.
00:45:44Town workers on strike.
00:45:46We need to get these filed.
00:45:48We have a flight to catch in 30 minutes.
00:45:50Sorry, we can't do it.
00:45:55There you are, Mommy.
00:45:56Mommy?
00:45:59Mommy?
00:46:03I knew you wanted to leave without me, Mommy.
00:46:06Mommy?
00:46:07You two have a kid together?
00:46:08No, no, no.
00:46:09Of course not.
00:46:10Natalie, come on.
00:46:11Miss Hallie has to go.
00:46:13No, no!
00:46:15I'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.
00:46:22Look, we need to get these signed.
00:46:25What's it gonna cost me to make it happen?
00:46:27Whoa!
00:46:29Is this a city senate official bribing a city employee?
00:46:35You see, I have my fair share of scandals, but this...
00:46:38This is bad.
00:46:40Hallie, I see you got a fancy new fiancee.
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.
00:46:53Looks 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?
00:47:03What do you mean what my father wanted?
00:47:06Wait, man.
00:47:07Craig never told us...
00:47:08Fair wait is fair pay!
00:47:09Hey!
00:47:10Keep it down.
00:47:11All right, or I will write you up for a noise violation.
00:47:14How about you pay us what we're owed and not waste our tax dollars on fancy new fire trucks and cocktail parties?
00:47:22Mayor Sullivan never would have done anything.
00:47:24All right, listen.
00:47:25Mayor Sullivan is not in charge anymore.
00:47:27I am.
00:47:28All right?
00:47:29So please just keep it down.
00:47:31Fair wait is fair pay!
00:47:32All right, just keep it down!
00:47:33Fair wait is fair pay!
00:47:34Fair wait is fair pay!
00:47:35I'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?
00:47:49Sure, this child is just as much Hallie's as she is Craig's.
00:47:55You lied to me.
00:47:56No, no.
00:47:57No, I didn't know.
00:47:58I 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.
00:48:05Geez, 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.
00:48:38I have to get back to New York before the press starts asking questions.
00:48:44Uh, go.
00:48:45Go.
00:48:46I'll get this sorted out.
00:48:47Fine.
00:48:48Take care of this child.
00:48:50End this marriage.
00:48:51Quickly and quietly.
00:48:53How come you never told me that Natalie is my daughter?
00:49:06Natalie.
00:49:07No!
00:49:08You were just going to let me divorce you, never knowing that Natalie's my daughter?
00:49:11Shh.
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.
00:49:30What?
00:49:31And you were there with another guy.
00:49:36You looked happy, you looked free.
00:49:40It seems you don't need me and Natalie anymore.
00:49:43And that's why you never told me that I had a daughter?
00:49:47You looked like you'd moved on.
00:49:51Moved on?
00:49:53It took me years to move on.
00:49:56And honestly, I don't know if I ever have.
00:50:03Forget it.
00:50:04It doesn't matter now anyway.
00:50:05Here.
00:50:06Parenting class.
00:50:07We need to take it in order to get divorced.
00:50:08Custody.
00:50:09Co-parenting.
00:50:10Legally, Natalie is just as much mine as she is yours.
00:50:12You haven't spent any time with her.
00:50:13You didn't raise her.
00:50:14I know!
00:50:15And hopefully, Natalie is just as much mine as she is yours.
00:50:16You haven't spent any time with her.
00:50:17You didn't raise her, you-
00:50:18I know!
00:50:19And whose fault is that?
00:50:35Class is at 8am.
00:50:36Don't be late!
00:50:38I knew Miss Haley was my mommy!
00:50:45Dad?
00:50:50Maya, what's going on?
00:50:55Daddy!
00:50:56He's okay.
00:50:57He's stabilized.
00:50:58Your old man's a fighter, Holly.
00:51:11And clearly he's fighting to see you again.
00:51:14No fighting to see me?
00:51:16No, 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.
00:51:25He does?
00:51:27Yep.
00:51:28Every Monday and Thursday at dialysis.
00:51:31That's how I know about your fancy job.
00:51:34And your fancy boyfriend.
00:51:36None of this makes any sense.
00:51:39Holly, are you okay?
00:51:41Yeah, today's just been...
00:51:44A lot.
00:51:46Maya, did you know that Natalie's my daughter?
00:51:52My shift ends in five minutes.
00:51:56Do you want to grab a drink?
00:52:00Craig has never revealed who Natalie's mother was.
00:52:03But he's never been with anyone since you, so we figured...
00:52:06Wait a second.
00:52:07He's never been with anyone since me?
00:52:10No, he left me for Trista.
00:52:13I saw him.
00:52:14Trista?
00:52:15She's been after him for years, sure.
00:52:17But he'd never touch her with a ten foot pole.
00:52:19I don't understand.
00:52:21Just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:52:24Craig!
00:52:25Excuse me, Maya.
00:52:38I need to get to the bottom of this.
00:52:40Good to see you, Hallie.
00:52:50I know the truth.
00:52:52You were never with Trista.
00:52:54So tell me the truth about everything.
00:52:57Right now.
00:52:59Pay me for it.
00:53:04If you win, I'll tell you.
00:53:17Looks like big city living hasn't doled your A medal.
00:53:19No.
00:53:20No.
00:53:21If anything.
00:53:22Maybe sharper.
00:53:29You two are playing like your lives depend on it.
00:53:37Well...
00:53:38Kinda do.
00:53:44Oops.
00:53:49If 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.
00:54:02Why?
00:54:03You came here to divorce me.
00:54:05What good would the truth do?
00:54:07I'll be the one to decide that.
00:54:19I'll be the one to decide.
00:54:22Now.
00:54:24Pass up.
00:54:32You scratched.
00:54:37I win.
00:54:39Thank you, ladies.
00:54:40But I gotta go.
00:54:42I have an early start.
00:54:49Maybe I can find some clues in my father's room.
00:54:55Why didn't my father tell me he was sick?
00:54:57And why won't anyone just tell me the truth?
00:55:03Oh my god.
00:55:04This will always belong to Hallie.
00:55:14And so will my heart.
00:55:15What is this doing here?
00:55:23What 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?
00:55:28Don't tell me you're about to propose, Hallie.
00:55:34Trista?
00:55:35What are you doing here?
00:55:37Surprise!
00:55:38I'm teaching the course.
00:55:40It's time for the two of you to get divorced.
00:55:45I 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 it yet, so please keep this between us.
00:55:57I will always do you a favor, Craig.
00:56:00You know that.
00:56:02Okay, first topic.
00:56:04How to explain to your child why you're not together anymore.
00:56:08Uh, simple.
00:56:09Her 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, Hallie?
00:56:22Be honest.
00:56:23You'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 gonna do?
00:56:29You're gonna take Natalie to New York?
00:56:31Maybe.
00:56:33She 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.
00:56:45Craig.
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.
00:56:55I'll give you one.
00:56:56I did lie to you that day when I told you that I didn't love you anymore.
00:56:59I'm done here.
00:57:00I really was so in love with you.
00:57:01I knew it.
00:57:02You just came here and you ruined everything like that.
00:57:03I knew you would.
00:57:04Ruined what exactly?
00:57:05I know the truth, Trista.
00:57:06You and Craig were never together.
00:57:07And that's about to change, sweetie.
00:57:08Once those divorce papers are finalized, I will have no choice but to choose me.
00:57:12Besides, Natalie needs a mother.
00:57:13You want to be Natalie's mom?
00:57:14Not particularly.
00:57:15But I can pretend.
00:57:16At least until I send her off to boarding school.
00:57:19After all these years, her father and I deserve some alone time.
00:57:23Don't you think?
00:57:24I'll give you a pass.
00:57:25I can pretend.
00:57:26Oh, I'll give you the time.
00:57:27I won and do the wrong.
00:57:28That's right.
00:57:31Who's the situation?
00:57:32I'm around.
00:57:33Let me bring you back.
00:57:34You are right away with me.

01:16:35Well, actually, I just came to give you the deposit.
01:16:38We break ground tomorrow.
01:16:42We.
01:16:43We said we would fix this town up.
01:16:46And 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.
01:17:02Oh, my God.
01:17:05Wow, boss.
01:17:07No wonder you never came back.
01:17:09You never told me your husband was a stone-cold hot.
01:17:11Oh, ex-husband.
01:17:15Right.
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, no, Ned, I am so sorry.
01:17:43Is 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.
01:18:00Hallie, 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?
01:18:35Even after that?
01:18:35Yes.
01:18:37In 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.
01:18:55Seeing 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.
01:19:09You're going to marry her?
01:19:11She was cheating on you.
01:19:15Who are you?
01:19:17I'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.
01:19:29What?
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?
01:19:46What are we waiting for?
01:19:49I don't know.
01:19:51Quit fucking around and marry me already.
01:19:55What's the rush, Ned?
01:19:56I...
01:19:57The 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?
01:20:38Does 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.
01:20:50Because 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 them all go poof.
01:21:05I have friends in very high places, Hallie.
01:21:08No, you wouldn't dare.
01:21:10I worked my entire career for those.
01:21:12Well, then the answer is simple.
01:21:15Marry me.
01:21:16We'll lose everything.
01:21:19Come on, Hallie.
01:21:20This is not a difficult choice.
01:21:22You're hurting me.
01:21:24If you think this is pain, you haven't felt anything yet.
01:21:26Neither of you.
01:21:28Yes.
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 assaulting 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.
01:22:03As 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.
01:22:19You'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.
01:22:31In fact, if I had to choose a son-in-law, I'd pick him over you any day of the week.
01:22:37Daddy!
01:22:37Allie, 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 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.
01:23:11So what if I want to marry you for a story?
01:23:14People 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.
01:23:25Hallie, 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.
01:23:49Fine.
01:23:49I 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.
01:24:24Oh my gosh, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew.
01:24:34I owe you both an apology for trying to play God.
01:24:36Daddy.
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 the same wonderful dream.
01:24:45This dream where you were still together, this dream where you were both living the life you deserve.
01:24:53I took that future and that life away from you.
01:24:58Hallie, Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:25:03Hallie, Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:25:07How?
01:25:09This should be enough.
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 what was right.
01:25:40You were protecting me.
01:25:44That's right.
01:25:45You two are the only family you have left.
01:25:49Unless...
01:25:53Let 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 some...
01:26:05You'd make me the happiest man in the world if you would 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.
01:26:27Come 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.
01:26:50Me either.
01:26:51Yeah?
01:26:51Yeah?
01:26:52Okay, what do we think?
01:26:54Who's up for a wedding?
01:26:56Yeah?
01:26:56Yeah?
01:26:57Yeah?
01:26:58Yeah?
01:26:59Yeah?
01:27:03Hi.
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?
01:27:14I 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.
01:27:25You signed your name Hallie Bildner.
01:27:28But your name is, and always has been, Hallie Brody.
01:27:31Will you look at that?
01:27:34Wait, so, um, that means the custody papers?
01:27:39Well, that's, uh, that's void.
01:27:43So, you're still Natalie's parents.
01:27:48Mommy!
01:27:48Mommy!
01:27:49Daddy, I forgive you.
01:28:12I've got seven years to make up for.
01:28:15I've got seven years to make up for.
01:28:19I just want to thank you all for your faith in me.
01:28:32And as your new mayor, I promise to work tirelessly to bring this town back to what it once was.
01:28:38Starting with the community center that Craig and Hallie so generously built.
01:28:46We love you, Mayor Martha.
01:28:48Love you.
01:28:49Love you.
01:28:56What do you think we're going to talk to?
01:28:58She's a little bit.
01:28:59It's a little bit.
01:29:00It's a little bit.
01:29:02Looks like they found a story to replace him with after all.
01:29:09Is there a really baby right there?
01:29:13Yes.
01:29:15We're going to be one big happy family.
