00:01:01You can have mine.
00:01:02No, I couldn't.
00:01:03Yeah, you could. I've seen you in class. You are brilliant. I'm gonna get way more use out of this than I ever would.
00:01:20Do you want to grab lunch? Or keep studying?

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