00:00:30The following program is rated PG and may contain the following program.
00:01:00Perfect. Good. I'm so glad you like it.
00:01:18I stayed very close to the style that we discussed.
00:01:21Here is the kitchen, the dining room, the two kids' bedrooms, the master bedroom.
00:01:27The kids are going to love it.
00:01:29I hope so.
00:01:30It's exactly what we wanted.
00:01:32And finally, my favorite part, the music room.
00:01:36You thought of everything.
00:01:37Well, they're your ideas. I just brought them all together.
00:01:40When can we break ground?
00:01:41Soon. I'll start calling contractors and setting up meetings right away.
00:01:47And I'll let you know what kind of timeline we're looking at.
00:01:50Would you mind sending us the designs so we can show the boys?
00:01:52Yes, of course.
00:01:59Yeah, I look forward to going over the details very soon, Mr. Liu.
00:02:13Uh-huh. Yeah, of course.
00:02:16Now, if you'll excuse me, Mr. Liu, I'm about to step into a meeting with a very charming architect.
00:02:22Zhao Jin.
00:02:22Sorry. I hope you weren't waiting long.
00:02:27No, no. I was... I was late, too.
00:02:30Guess what? The Martins accepted my bid.
00:02:33That's great! Congratulations!
00:02:36Thank you!
00:02:37Excuse me.
00:02:38Go get a bottle of champagne.
00:02:40Of course.
00:02:41Champagne?
00:02:42You are not the only one with good news.
00:02:45You know how we've been trying to break into the Asian market.
00:02:48Uh-huh.
00:02:48Well, the biggest venture capitalist in China has agreed to meet with us.
00:02:53That's great!
00:02:54That's not all.
00:02:58I'm leaving tomorrow.
00:03:01And I want you to come with me.
00:03:04Tomorrow?
00:03:04Ten days in China.
00:03:07My treat.
00:03:08And when I'm done with work, we can see the Great Wall, Forbidden City.
00:03:12We can do whatever you want.
00:03:14I... I can't.
00:03:16I know it's short notice.
00:03:18But there's never going to be a perfect time.
00:03:21You have to make it.
00:03:23Nathan, I appreciate the offer, but...
00:03:26I can't just drop everything to follow you.
00:03:30You wouldn't be following me.
00:03:31We'd be spending time together.
00:03:34I always hate leaving you here in Little Rock.
00:03:36But it's a work trip.
00:03:38Your work.
00:03:40My work is here.
00:03:43I think we're good together, don't you?
00:03:45You're always traveling.
00:03:48You're not even here half the time.
00:03:50That's why this trip would be a perfect opportunity for us to spend more time together.
00:03:53Okay, and then what about after the trip?
00:03:56What's changed?
00:03:58Because someday I want a family, and I want somebody who's going to be there.
00:04:02So you're thinking that far ahead?
00:04:04Your trip sounds fantastic.
00:04:07Then come.
00:04:08For once, do something spontaneous.
00:04:10I can't.
00:04:11How was dinner last night?
00:04:35He was late.
00:04:36Like caught in traffic late?
00:04:37Mm, like half a loaf of bread late.
00:04:40I hate that.
00:04:41You don't know whether to order an appetizer or stare at the menu.
00:04:45They came this morning.
00:04:50Sorry.
00:04:51I shouldn't have thrown the China trip on you last minute.
00:04:54I didn't consider your commitments.
00:04:56I just want you to know that no matter where I'm traveling, my heart is always with you.
00:05:01He asked me to go to China with him today.
00:05:04I already read it.
00:05:05Why are you not on that plane right now?
00:05:06I'd go.
00:05:08Because I have a job.
00:05:10And so do you.
00:05:11I know.
00:05:14Speaking of which, we have a million things to do today, so we better get started.
00:05:17This is Margaret.
00:05:19Hello, Margaret.
00:05:20This is Ted Banks.
00:05:22I'm the attorney that's handling Susan and Hank DeVille's estate.
00:05:25Their estate?
00:05:26Yes.
00:05:26I assumed you've already been notified of Susan and Hank's passing.
00:05:29Um, no, I haven't.
00:05:32Well, I'm sorry to be the one to deliver the news, but they were in a car accident a few days ago.
00:05:38What about their kids?
00:05:40They're fine.
00:05:40They're fine.
00:05:41They were at home with a babysitter, and their grandmother's here from Florida, and she's
00:05:45with them now.
00:05:46I can't believe it.
00:05:48Well, the reason for my call, Margaret, is that your name is mentioned in Susan and Hank's
00:05:52will.
00:05:55I haven't spoken to Susan in so long.
00:05:57I'd like to discuss the details with you in person, if that's possible.
00:06:01Of course.
00:06:03I can be there tomorrow.
00:06:07You've reached the voicemail of Nathan Jeffries.
00:06:23I'm out of the office.
00:06:24I can't believe it.
00:06:35I'm out of the office.
00:06:37I'm out of the office.
00:06:37I'm out of the office.
00:06:41I can't believe it.
00:06:45You have to admit, this is so much better than stupid English class.
00:07:09Is that what you're going to tell Mrs. Reed when she finds out we skipped?
00:07:13Stop worrying. Can't you just relax and enjoy the day?
00:07:18I am. But what about your grades? I thought we wanted to go to college together.
00:07:24And we will. My grades are fine. You got a D on the last test.
00:07:30D for dang good.
00:07:32You know, maybe if you spent a little less time thinking about Hank,
00:07:39and a little more time on your homework...
00:07:41You're jealous.
00:07:42I am not. I just think there are better things to spend your time on.
00:07:48I can't think of any.
00:08:02Tamara? Margaret!
00:08:09Sorry, I was getting the kids out the door when you called.
00:08:11It's so good to hear from you.
00:08:18I know. It's been too long.
00:08:20Guess where I'm at.
00:08:21Give me a clue.
00:08:22I'm here in Mountain View.
00:08:24About Susan and Hank, huh? It's awful, isn't it?
00:08:39I didn't know, or I would have come back for the service.
00:08:43I didn't know, or I would have come back for the service.
00:08:47It's been a while since you were home.
00:08:50Since my mom's funeral. It's been five years.
00:08:54Surprisingly enough, I'm in Susan and Hank's will.
00:08:59Really?
00:08:59Yeah.
00:09:00Huh.
00:09:01Why'd they leave you?
00:09:02I was admired this antique tea set.
00:09:05Belonged to Grandma Margie, and for some reason Susan got it.
00:09:08Please don't tell me you're too busy to come see me.
00:09:13No, I promise I will make time.
00:09:17After everything that's happened, it really made me pause and think.
00:09:21We never know how much time we have, and we need to focus on what's most important to us.
00:09:28I miss you.
00:09:28I miss you too.
00:09:31I'll see you soon.
00:09:38I appreciate you making it out here so quickly.
00:10:04I'm sure you probably already know what this is about.
00:10:07Actually, no. I haven't spoken to Susan and Hank in years.
00:10:12This could be a bit of a surprise then.
00:10:14According to Hank and Susan's will, in the event of their death,
00:10:18custody of their two children transfers to you.
00:10:24I'm sorry?
00:10:27You are Joel and Samantha's legal guardian until they turn 18.
00:10:32I don't think so.
00:10:33There's got to be some confusion. No one would leave me their kids.
00:10:39I'm not ready for that.
00:10:42I've got a lot of responsibilities. I just got this big job, and we're breaking ground soon. I can't.
00:10:48Margaret, just take a breath. Everything's going to be all right. I know this is a shock, but let's just talk through it.
00:10:57It just doesn't, it doesn't make sense.
00:10:59It might not make much sense to you now, but I feel confident that there must be a good reason that Susan and Hank chose you.
00:11:09Sammy and Joel aren't all that my clients left you.
00:11:12Are there more children?
00:11:13No, there's just two. But on the condition that you accept custody, you'll also inherit the home here in Mountain View.
00:11:21On the condition. So there's an alternate?
00:11:25Yes. I always suggest that my clients have a backup.
00:11:29It's not that I'm not deeply flattered they chose me.
00:11:32It's just a little heads up would have been nice. You know, a note, a text saying, hey, you're in the will. You get the kids.
00:11:41I'm sure they meant to tell you. None of us really plan on dying. But now the best we can do is just to try to honor their wishes.
00:11:52Hank and Susan want their children to be brought up in their family home.
00:11:57Grandma and Grandpa's house.
00:11:58They've updated it. You may not recognize it.
00:12:04You'll also receive access to a savings account that was set aside for their retirement.
00:12:09And both of the kids have a college fund.
00:12:19I had no idea they had this kind of money.
00:12:21Hank had made some really good investments in the stock market.
00:12:24Clearly.
00:12:25I know this is a lot, Miss Garvey.
00:12:42We'll always be best friends, right?
00:12:44We're cousins. We don't have to be friends.
00:12:49You know what I mean.
00:12:54Yes, I will go to your house and throw away your diary if anything happens to you.
00:13:00Me too.
00:13:00You know I would do anything for you, right?
00:13:07Thank you, sir.
00:13:10Forever.
00:13:12Good.
00:13:13Because we're almost out of popcorn and it's your turn to pop.
00:13:17Why don't you go over to the house and spend some time with Samantha and Joan.
00:13:25They don't know anything about you yet.
00:13:28Bertha's over there with them right now taking care of them,
00:13:30but she'll be heading back to Florida as soon as you arrive.
00:13:37Hi!
00:13:47You made it!
00:13:48Oh, I missed you.
00:13:50I missed you too.
00:13:55Don't judge.
00:13:56Okay. Come on.
00:13:59I have some tea out.
00:14:05So, I just came from the attorney's office.
00:14:10They left me their kids.
00:14:12Their kids?
00:14:15I didn't see that one coming.
00:14:17Oh, me either.
00:14:18And I want to do right by Susan.
00:14:23But what about my life?
00:14:24Well, what happens to their kids if you don't stay?
00:14:28Hank has a brother that's a Navy SEAL.
00:14:30He's away on assignment right now, so they can't get a hold of him, but he's their second choice.
00:14:36Well, he sounds like a good choice too.
00:14:40What's it like being a mom?
00:14:44Well, before school this morning, Lydia fell off the front porch and
00:14:51Jason went running down the hall with his pants down because he's afraid of the big boy toilets.
00:15:01You know, all the sleepless nights, the hair pulling, the screaming and yelling.
00:15:08It's all worth it.
00:15:13I wouldn't trade them for the world.
00:15:18I could do it for a month, right?
00:15:21Sure.
00:15:22Here's to parenthood.
00:15:38I don't think so.
00:15:52I would do that.
00:15:58I would be happy to do it.
00:15:59Hang on!
00:16:21Margaret?
00:16:23Andrew?
00:16:25What are you doing here?
00:16:27Whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:16:28At ease, soldiers!
00:16:31Hi.
00:16:34Sorry.
00:16:37Hi, Joel, Sammy.
00:16:39I'm your cousin Margaret.
00:16:42Joel, you would have been five, and Sammy, you would have been four, so maybe you don't remember me.
00:16:50I see you stayed close to Hank and Susan.
00:16:53Helping Bertha take care of Sammy and Joel here.
00:16:57That's why I'm here.
00:16:58Oh, uh, come on in.
00:17:14Wow.
00:17:16They really changed the place, didn't they?
00:17:18Hey, guys, I'm going to take a break and talk with Margaret for a minute.
00:17:21Why don't you start your homework, huh?
00:17:23Do we have to?
00:17:24Will we make cookies?
00:17:24Yes, yes, you have to.
00:17:26Yes, we will.
00:17:31I had no idea you were in their will.
00:17:34Neither did I.
00:17:35I just assumed that Aunt Bertha would raise them.
00:17:38Let's just say we're all getting older.
00:17:39And they're good kids, but I'd be lying if I said they were easy.
00:17:44No, I...
00:17:45I know they're not easy.
00:17:47Kids are a lot of work.
00:17:49You have children?
00:17:52No.
00:17:53Pets?
00:17:55I have an assistant.
00:17:57Oh, you should be good then.
00:18:01Do you have children?
00:18:02No.
00:18:04Then what makes you an expert?
00:18:07I have a master's in child psychology.
00:18:10And I'm a counselor at the elementary school.
00:18:14I'm listening.
00:18:14Look, I spent a lot of time with these two.
00:18:19They're good kids, but they've been through a lot this last week.
00:18:22And in spite of everything, it's good to see you again.
00:18:27You too.
00:18:29Andrew, kids come help with the groceries.
00:18:34And his car is out there blocking my spot.
00:18:37I couldn't pull in the garage.
00:18:41Nice to see you, Aunt Bertha.
00:18:42What are you doing here?
00:18:46I came to visit Joel and Sammy.
00:18:50Mind putting this in the fridge?
00:18:51I'm just worn out.
00:18:59Bet the kids didn't even know who you were.
00:19:03No, but I would like to get to know them better.
00:19:07I'll be taking over here,
00:19:08at least until Hank's brother gets back from the Navy.
00:19:12You're taking over.
00:19:14But you want to try them on and see how they fit first?
00:19:17I'm just trying to look at the situation realistically.
00:19:20The situation.
00:19:22Are you here for the kids or just for the house?
00:19:26I knew nothing about this arrangement.
00:19:29Nobody even bothered to call me.
00:19:30Why didn't you want me at the funeral?
00:19:34We hadn't seen you in so long.
00:19:35I guess it just slipped my mind.
00:19:37Susan and I were like sisters.
00:19:39You knew that.
00:19:42I guess I should have called.
00:19:44I can only imagine how hard this has been on you.
00:19:50You have no idea.
00:19:52Joel and Sammy are all I have left.
00:19:56I don't know why Hank and Susan chose me,
00:19:59but they did.
00:20:01And I'm going to do my best.
00:20:03Those kids meant everything to Susan.
00:20:06She made taking care of them look effortless,
00:20:08which it's not.
00:20:09I've been warned.
00:20:11Being a mom is all Susan ever wanted to do.
00:20:15Why didn't you want kids?
00:20:18It's not that I didn't want them.
00:20:20I just haven't found anybody I wanted to have them with.
00:20:23Yeah, well, you should have held on to that one.
00:20:35Bye, Grandma Bursa.
00:20:37Bye.
00:20:37Bye.
00:20:40My flight's in the morning,
00:20:41but I'm going to go over and stay at Helen's tonight.
00:20:44I left my number on the fridge.
00:20:45Call me when you've had enough.
00:20:59Okay.
00:21:00Fridge is stocked.
00:21:02You have the house key.
00:21:02My phone number is on the kitchen table.
00:21:04And if I don't answer, Bertha's number's on the fridge.
00:21:07You're making me feel like a babysitter.
00:21:09We'll be fine.
00:21:10Right, guys?
00:21:13Look, I haven't left their side since the accident.
00:21:17I'd be happy to pick them up after school, make dinner, anything.
00:21:20I appreciate the offer, but this is something I need to do on my own.
00:21:25Famous last words.
00:21:27And on that note, Joel, Sammy, I gotta go.
00:21:33Come here.
00:21:34Come on.
00:21:36Yeah.
00:21:37Don't leave us with her.
00:21:39Hey, we knew this play date couldn't last forever, but I'll see you both at school.
00:21:43Sammy, your mom and I were best friends, and I'm so excited to get to know you and Joel.
00:21:48You're in good hands.
00:21:50I think.
00:21:51Okay, so who wants pizza?
00:21:57Cheese.
00:21:58Pepperoni.
00:21:59Definitely cheese.
00:22:01Got it.
00:22:02Let's go.
00:22:03So what time does school start?
00:22:07Eight, and the bus comes at 7.30.
00:22:10Okay, so breakfast at 7 sharp.
00:22:13You guys are done with your homework.
00:22:14You can watch a little TV.
00:22:16Mama usually gets us up at 6.30.
00:22:18Well, I don't need that much time to get ready.
00:22:22Do you?
00:22:23Plus, after the day that I've had, I could use the extra 30 minutes of sleep.
00:22:28You're the grown-up.
00:22:30Cool.
00:22:31Breakfast at 7 sharp.
00:22:48You're the grown-up.
00:23:18Good morning.
00:23:35Why aren't you guys dressed?
00:23:37We in our pajamas.
00:23:40Okay.
00:23:40Well, I guess there's time for that.
00:23:43What do you guys want for breakfast?
00:23:44I can scramble some eggs.
00:23:45We eat Cheerios for breakfast.
00:23:48Cheerios.
00:23:48Even better.
00:23:52Looks like your grandma forgot to buy those, so how about Raisin Bran?
00:23:56Joel hates raisins.
00:23:57I can pick the raisins out.
00:23:59There's oatmeal up there.
00:24:00Oatmeal takes too long.
00:24:02You have to microwave it for two minutes, and the microwave can only hold one bowl at a time.
00:24:07And that means we're going to be late for the bus.
00:24:09Is he okay?
00:24:10He won't be if you don't make us some oatmeal.
00:24:12And don't forget lunch.
00:24:13Lunch?
00:24:14Aren't we still on breakfast?
00:24:16Mom always made our lunch.
00:24:18Um, okay.
00:24:20Just go find my purse, and you can eat lunch at the cafeteria today.
00:24:24I don't eat cafeteria food.
00:24:26Of course you don't.
00:24:27Um, all right.
00:24:37How about this?
00:24:42I can't eat cold pizza.
00:24:44That's gross.
00:24:45I had cold pizza for breakfast my entire freshman year.
00:24:49Ugh!
00:24:49I need my mom.
00:24:52Joel, wait.
00:24:53Now we're going to be late.
00:24:55Joel, wait!
00:25:02I have your oatmeal.
00:25:10I want to eat your breakfast, Joel.
00:25:11If you come out, we can still make the bus.
00:25:21Joel, I know you miss your mom and dad, and I am really sorry that I messed up.
00:25:26But if you come out, I promise everything is going to be okay.
00:25:29I'm never coming out.
00:25:37And you can calm him down.
00:25:39I'm never coming out.
00:25:41I couldn't do any worse.
00:25:49Hello?
00:25:51Hi, Andrew.
00:25:52It's, um, it's Margaret.
00:25:54I just thought if you happen to be coming by,
00:25:58Joel would probably like a ride this morning.
00:26:01Hmm.
00:26:02I thought you said you could handle it.
00:26:03I, uh, I was wrong.
00:26:09I'm sorry, what was that?
00:26:11I said I was wrong.
00:26:15Was that so hard?
00:26:19Yes, it was.
00:26:21How did you...
00:26:22I was already on my way.
00:26:23Hey, Joel.
00:26:30It's Andrew.
00:26:31Hey, how'd you like a ride to school with me this morning?
00:26:34When we get there, we can listen to music on the big speakers in my office.
00:26:37And you can pick the song.
00:26:38Anything but country.
00:26:47Sure.
00:26:49Now how about you two go get ready, huh?
00:26:51I haven't eaten breakfast yet.
00:26:54I can't eat cold pizza.
00:26:56Well, we'll just have to stop and get smoothies on the way.
00:26:59And I can reheat your pizza in the teacher's lounge.
00:27:01No big deal.
00:27:01I want a smoothie.
00:27:03Okay, Sammy.
00:27:04But only if you can get ready in five minutes.
00:27:07Starting...
00:27:08Now!
00:27:13How did you do that?
00:27:16You'll get the hang of it.
00:27:17Every day's a new adventure.
00:27:20I don't like adventures.
00:27:22I like plans.
00:27:24Blueprints.
00:27:25Speaking of which,
00:27:27today I need to grab some work from my office and...
00:27:30clothes and stuff.
00:27:31Could you maybe...
00:27:32Watch the kids after school?
00:27:34Please?
00:27:34If it's not too much trouble?
00:27:36Not at all.
00:27:37I'd love to.
00:27:38Thanks.
00:27:41I'm ready!
00:27:42Ooh!
00:27:43Four minutes and 59 seconds.
00:27:45Not bad.
00:27:46Don't forget your lunch.
00:27:47Have a good day.
00:27:49Oh, wait.
00:27:50Say goodbye to your cousin.
00:27:52Goodbye, Margaret.
00:27:55Goodbye, Margaret.
00:27:56Mm-hmm.
00:27:58I'll see you tonight.
00:27:59Okay, let's go.
00:28:04All right, hop on in there.
00:28:08I almost forgot.
00:28:09Love your slippers.
00:28:10If I could get a quote on the materials by tomorrow, that would be great.
00:28:32My clients want to break ground before we hit the holidays.
00:28:34Uh-huh.
00:28:37Okay.
00:28:38Thanks, Bob.
00:28:40Here is your pumpkin spice and your chicken salad.
00:28:44What would I do without you?
00:28:47So, if you're moving to Mountain View, should I start looking for a new job?
00:28:51No, no.
00:28:52Nothing is changing.
00:28:54I'm just going to be working remotely.
00:28:56That's all.
00:28:57You stay here and keep the doors open.
00:28:59That's a relief.
00:29:00I worked too hard on this business just to let it go.
00:29:04How's it going over there?
00:29:06It was amazing.
00:29:07I just got out of one of the best dinner meetings I've ever had.
00:29:10At least I think it was.
00:29:12Translators seem to be iffy.
00:29:16Busy?
00:29:19Uh, yes.
00:29:22I'm thinking about you.
00:29:23You have.
00:29:24Mm-hmm.
00:29:25You thinking about me?
00:29:26Um, yeah.
00:29:29Well, no, actually, I haven't had a minute to think about anything.
00:29:32Busy at work?
00:29:33You should go get a massage or something.
00:29:35It's not work.
00:29:37Um, after you left, I found out my cousin and her husband died in a car accident.
00:29:43I'm so sorry.
00:29:45That's awful.
00:29:46They have two little kids.
00:29:48Joel and Sammy.
00:29:50Oh, my gosh.
00:29:51Um, I'm staying at their house in Mountain View for at least a month.
00:29:58What?
00:29:59I'm trying to pack up my office so that I can work from there.
00:30:02I don't remember you talking about Susan.
00:30:05We were close when we were younger.
00:30:11I know how important family is.
00:30:14So you're not freaked out?
00:30:16I think what you're doing is admirable.
00:30:23I'll let you go.
00:30:24It sounds like you've got your hands full.
00:30:26See you soon, okay?
00:30:28Yeah.
00:30:29I'll see you soon.
00:30:29I'll see you soon.
00:30:30I'll see you soon.
00:31:00I like your place.
00:31:05You get everything you need?
00:31:07As much as I can pack in my car.
00:31:10Where are they?
00:31:12Uh, they're out back, playing.
00:31:14We just finished dinner.
00:31:15You want some?
00:31:16Oh, no, I'm okay.
00:31:17I grabbed something on the way.
00:31:21Ah, the good old days.
00:31:23Were they as good as we remember?
00:31:26We were so close.
00:31:27What happened?
00:31:31Well, Susan and Hank got married.
00:31:33Tamara and I haven't gone very far.
00:31:36You're the only one that snuck away.
00:31:41Uh, got you these.
00:31:43Some light reading?
00:31:50Required reading.
00:31:52If you want to survive.
00:31:54Got it.
00:31:58Joel gets bullied.
00:31:59And Sammy's a little bit, uh, protective.
00:32:03I just pulled her out of a fight a couple days ago.
00:32:05Isn't that your territory?
00:32:07Since I was at school?
00:32:08Well, I can't follow him around all the time.
00:32:11Neither can I.
00:32:11I just thought you should be aware.
00:32:14Maybe you want to try and talk to her about it.
00:32:17Have you forgotten this morning?
00:32:19No, but hopefully they have.
00:32:21Schedules are very important to Joel.
00:32:24Especially in the morning.
00:32:25He hates being late.
00:32:27Good to know.
00:32:30Well, um, we should probably get going.
00:32:33Yeah, I'll walk out there with you.
00:32:34Say goodbye to the kids.
00:32:35Thanks.
00:32:35Thanks.
00:32:35Thanks.
00:32:35Thanks.
00:32:35Thanks.
00:32:35Thanks.
00:32:35Thanks.
00:32:35Thanks.
00:32:35Thanks.
00:32:35Thanks.
00:32:36Thanks.
00:32:37Thanks.
00:32:37Thanks.
00:32:39Thanks.
00:32:39Thanks.
00:32:41Oh, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:32:57I just wanted to say goodnight.
00:33:00Goodnight.
00:33:00Goodnight, Sammy.
00:33:04Okay.
00:33:10Goodnight.
00:33:11Goodnight, Sammy.
00:33:16You got a second?
00:33:20I heard you got in a fight at school.
00:33:23You want to talk about it?
00:33:25No.
00:33:26You know, I lost my mom, too.
00:33:39So I know how you feel.
00:33:41If you ever need to talk.
00:33:43You don't even know me.
00:33:46But I'd like to.
00:33:48If you'll give me the chance.
00:33:50Stop pretending to care.
00:33:52If you and mom were best friends, why didn't she ever talk about you?
00:34:00That's a valid point.
00:34:03Um.
00:34:05Sometimes when we get older, we, we lose touch.
00:34:10We take different paths.
00:34:15You'll understand when you're older.
00:34:16Whatever.
00:34:18Whatever.
00:34:20Whatever.
00:34:50Oh, Joel. You scared me. Joel?
00:35:14Good morning. I got up early.
00:35:18Good for you.
00:35:22I also got some stuff to make lunches.
00:35:25Have a good day, guys.
00:35:43Good for you.
00:36:03Hey. How you doing?
00:36:07Not great.
00:36:08They don't want me here.
00:36:10Of course they don't.
00:36:12They want their mom and dad.
00:36:14It doesn't matter what I do.
00:36:16They look at me like they're judging me and I'm failing.
00:36:19They're kids.
00:36:21I don't know what they want.
00:36:22And I don't know how to get them to talk to me to tell me what's wrong.
00:36:25Because they smell fear.
00:36:28Remember, you're in charge.
00:36:31Eventually they'll trust that you know what you're doing.
00:36:33I don't have that much time.
00:36:35How about I give you a few pointers?
00:36:38Well, I've got nothing to lose.
00:36:41Great.
00:36:42I'm coming over.
00:36:45First thing and the most important to remember, there's no perfect mom.
00:36:51No one does everything right.
00:36:52You'll mess up.
00:36:54There will be crying and it's normally not them.
00:36:58Maybe I'm doing better than I thought.
00:37:02Great.
00:37:03Well, let's get started.
00:37:05You'll need healthy snacks the kids will eat.
00:37:08Yogurt, fruit, trail mix, apple chips.
00:37:12Oh, and I've thrown in a few recipes for some easy dinners since you're not exactly Rachel Ray.
00:37:18And Thanksgiving is coming up.
00:37:21So that is like the Super Bowl of cooking.
00:37:24So you should stop early or you'll be behind.
00:37:28So communication is huge.
00:37:31You have to know how to talk to kids.
00:37:33Don't expect them to come to you.
00:37:35You have to ask them.
00:37:38Ask about their day, school, their friends.
00:37:43You know, you just want to be someone that they want to talk to.
00:37:46But don't try to be too cool or, you know.
00:37:50One-on-one time is important.
00:37:53That way you can focus on what they want to do.
00:37:56Be supportive.
00:37:59Praise their positive behavior.
00:38:01Be available when they need you.
00:38:04Your kids are your number one priority always.
00:38:08And whatever you do, don't forget to make sure to have some fun with them.
00:38:12Okay.
00:38:14Is that everything I need to know?
00:38:16Not by a long shot.
00:38:18Cheers.
00:38:24Oh, I forgot.
00:38:26What's wrong?
00:38:27I was supposed to Skype with a client today and it completely slipped my mind.
00:38:31Any chance you could watch the kids?
00:38:32Sorry, Dave and I have date night tonight.
00:38:37I'll text Andrew.
00:38:39Oh, you're texting Andrew now.
00:38:42He's the guidance counselor at the elementary school.
00:38:45The kids love him.
00:38:48What about you?
00:38:49And I told you, I'm seeing someone.
00:38:53You know, I always thought you two would end up together.
00:38:57Didn't you?
00:39:02Maybe.
00:39:03But then we went off to college and went our separate ways.
00:39:07Well, he's still single.
00:39:09Thanks for the pointers.
00:39:13I'm just saying.
00:39:35You guys look like you're having fun.
00:39:37You want to stick around for another set?
00:39:40Yeah.
00:39:40The kids want to stay weekend.
00:39:42Yeah.
00:39:42Yeah.
00:39:44Where did you get that ice cream?
00:39:46Shop over there.
00:39:48Anybody out there up for filling in tonight?
00:39:51We just found out we got an extra slot up here.
00:39:54She can, boy.
00:39:55Hey, Joel.
00:39:56It's not nice to put Margaret on the spot like that.
00:40:00No, he's right.
00:40:02I can.
00:40:04Margaret, you don't have to.
00:40:07I want to.
00:40:09But you owe me.
00:40:11Got it?
00:40:12I'll do it.
00:40:17Woo!
00:40:18Yeah, Margaret.
00:40:27First song is in G.
00:40:28Just follow our lead.
00:40:29And with the sunshine of your love, I can always find my way, and by the sunshine of your love, night gives way to break the day.
00:40:57And through the sunshine of your love, cloudy skies no longer gray, and the smile that warms my soul comes from the sunshine of your love.
00:41:17And the smile that warms my soul comes from the sunshine of your love.
00:41:47Wow! Impressive!
00:42:01Thanks. Now can I get some of that ice cream?
00:42:03Yeah, sure. Right this way. Come on.
00:42:10Where'd you learn to play like that?
00:42:12My grandma taught me. Your great-grandma.
00:42:15Cool. Cool.
00:42:17Remember when you wanted to be a music teacher?
00:42:19We were going to teach at Mountain View Elementary together.
00:42:24Were you boys and girlfriends?
00:42:27Uh...
00:42:27Who said that?
00:42:28No one.
00:42:30You're too smart for your own good, you know that?
00:42:32For the lady?
00:42:33I'm going to go mint.
00:42:35Mint?
00:42:45Good night, Joel.
00:42:58Good night.
00:43:03Good night, Sammy.
00:43:05Good night, Margaret.
00:43:08Sammy, I'm sorry about last night.
00:43:10You were right.
00:43:13We really don't know each other yet.
00:43:15I just want you to know that if you need me, I'm here, okay?
00:43:22Joel liked the way he played tonight.
00:43:25He doesn't like a lot of stuff.
00:43:26Well, I'm glad he did.
00:43:39The kids at school pick him sometimes.
00:43:43Oh, that's too bad.
00:43:46I tried to help him.
00:43:48Have you talked to a teacher?
00:43:50Or Andrew?
00:43:52Wouldn't help.
00:43:53I know you want to protect Joel,
00:43:58but that's not your job.
00:44:01Who's going to do it then?
00:44:05Why do you think they pick on Joel?
00:44:08Because he's different.
00:44:11Well, that's not so bad.
00:44:13Being normal is overrated.
00:44:16What does Joel like to do?
00:44:18I know he likes to listen to music.
00:44:20He likes to sing, too.
00:44:21But he's by himself.
00:44:22He's pretty good.
00:44:24Maybe he would like to audition for the school choir.
00:44:27He'd never sing in public.
00:44:30Well, I didn't want to play in front of everybody tonight.
00:44:34But I did, and don't tell anybody,
00:44:37but it was really fun.
00:44:43Will you help me get Joel to audition for the choir?
00:44:46Why not?
00:44:49Yeah.
00:44:49Good night.
00:44:57I never said I wanted to sing.
00:44:59But you love music.
00:45:01When others are singing.
00:45:03Well, I think it could be really good.
00:45:07You owe me one, remember?
00:45:09One voice lesson.
00:45:10That's all I ask.
00:45:11You got this.
00:45:14Okay.
00:45:15Ready when you are, Joel.
00:45:18Oh, right.
00:45:19Sorry.
00:45:20All right.
00:45:24So, we'll practice a few warm-up scales.
00:45:26I'll play a note, and you sing it.
00:45:28Okay?
00:45:35That's where you come in.
00:45:37Would I help you if I sang with you?
00:45:40Okay.
00:45:41Okay.
00:45:41Ready?
00:45:41Ready?
00:45:41Oh, okay.
00:45:48You think you can do better?
00:45:50All right.
00:45:57Yeah.
00:45:57No, that's good.
00:45:58That's really good.
00:45:59Okay.
00:45:59I'm going to go one higher.
00:46:01I'll play it first.
00:46:02Okay.
00:46:02Okay.
00:46:02Okay.
00:46:02So, we think same time tomorrow?
00:46:27Okay.
00:46:31How'd it go?
00:46:32Well, he wants to try again tomorrow.
00:46:38You know, I was thinking.
00:46:41Joel's singing.
00:46:43What do you like to do?
00:46:44Do you like the piano, the drums, flute?
00:46:48Are you going to make me keep guessing?
00:46:51I like sports.
00:46:54Okay.
00:46:55Let's do it.
00:46:56There's basketball sign-ups.
00:46:58I have a form you need to sign,
00:46:59and I have to get a physical for Monday.
00:47:01Oh, why are you just telling me this now?
00:47:06Mom always did that stuff.
00:47:10I know.
00:47:12But I'm going to do it for you now, okay?
00:47:14So, anything you need, you just ask.
00:47:19Let's get you signed up for basketball.
00:47:20Russell, bring the house.
00:47:24Let's go.
00:47:27Get in there, girl.
00:47:36She's a natural, right?
00:47:37Right.
00:47:38She's really good.
00:47:39Hey, do you want me to do one shoes?
00:47:54She's a natural, right?
00:47:55She's a natural, right?
00:47:56She's a natural, right?
00:47:57She's a natural, right?
00:47:57She's a natural, right?
00:47:58She's a natural, right?
00:47:58She's a natural, right?
00:47:59She's a natural, right?
00:47:59She's a natural, right?
00:48:00She's a natural, right?
00:48:00She's a natural, right?
00:48:01She's a natural, right?
00:48:01She's a natural, right?
00:48:02She's a natural, right?
00:48:03She's a natural, right?
00:48:04She's a natural, right?
00:48:05She's a natural, right?
00:48:06She's a natural, right?
00:48:07She's a natural, right?
00:48:08She's a natural, right?
00:48:09She's a natural, right?
00:48:10She's a natural, right?
00:48:11She's a natural, right?
00:48:12She's a natural, right?
00:48:13I don't know.
00:48:43I don't know.
00:49:13I don't know.
00:49:14I don't know.
00:49:15You're not together?
00:49:16Um, this weekend's not good.
00:49:17Sammy has her first game.
00:49:18I know you're like a soccer mom now, but I think you deserve a little time off, don't
00:49:23you?
00:49:24It's basketball.
00:49:25What?
00:49:26Sammy plays basketball.
00:49:29It's...
00:49:30It's important that I'm there.
00:49:32I'm sure it is.
00:49:34But...
00:49:35Don't forget you had a life before them.
00:49:38Nathan, they need me.
00:49:44Okay.
00:49:45How about I come visit you when I get back?
00:49:49Oh, uh, I'll text you later.
00:49:52I gotta go.
00:49:53Please?
00:49:54See you soon.
00:49:55Hey, guys.
00:49:57Thanks for giving them a lift.
00:50:01Trying out a new pasta recipe.
00:50:05You wanna stick around?
00:50:07Uh, thanks for the offer, but, um...
00:50:11But...
00:50:12What?
00:50:13I don't know, guys.
00:50:14Should I live life dangerously?
00:50:19Really?
00:50:20Yeah.
00:50:21Yeah.
00:50:22What?
00:50:23I have to be pretty brave, huh?
00:50:24Respect.
00:50:25Alright, let's go.
00:50:26Yeah.
00:50:27Be nice.
00:50:28Be nice.
00:50:29It's a little hot.
00:50:34I don't know, guys.
00:50:35What do you think?
00:50:36Is it safe?
00:50:37Of course it's safe.
00:50:38Ahem.
00:50:39Not bad.
00:50:40This is good.
00:50:41Yeah.
00:50:42Why does everybody act surprised?
00:50:43I mean, I...
00:50:44I...
00:50:45I...
00:50:46I...
00:50:47I...
00:50:48I...
00:50:49I...
00:50:50I...
00:50:51I...
00:50:52I...
00:50:53I...
00:50:54I...
00:50:55I...
00:50:56I...
00:50:57I...
00:50:58I...
00:50:59I...
00:51:00I...
00:51:01I...
00:51:02I...
00:51:03I...
00:51:04I...
00:51:05I...
00:51:06I...
00:51:07I...
00:51:08I...
00:51:09I...
00:51:10I...
00:51:11It...
00:51:12I...
00:51:13I...
00:51:14I...
00:51:15I...
00:51:16I...
00:51:17I...
00:51:18You're on a roll, Sammy girl.
00:51:19I think it's past my bedtime.
00:51:21It's a school night.
00:51:22Ahh!
00:51:23Ah, huh.
00:51:24I...
00:51:25I...
00:51:26I...
00:51:27I...
00:51:28I...
00:51:29don't know.
00:51:30But I...
00:51:31Don't know?!
00:51:32Fine.
00:51:33Thanks.
00:51:34or you should sing a song first.
00:51:36It's a little late, Joel.
00:51:38Just one.
00:51:39Please?
00:51:42One song, then it's bedtime.
00:51:45Okay.
00:51:47What should I play?
00:51:49Play the song from the other night.
00:51:51The song you played after Sammy and I went to bed.
00:51:55What song is that?
00:51:58An old song.
00:52:01Play it.
00:52:02What's so special about it?
00:52:04Andrew and I met in band class our sophomore year.
00:52:09That's right.
00:52:10I had a crush on her and I asked her to play guitar in the band I was starting.
00:52:15The first time that we were supposed to practice, I was the only one that showed up.
00:52:20I figured out there was never going to be a band.
00:52:22He just wanted to ask me out.
00:52:25Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:52:28So, you gonna sing the song or not?
00:52:32If I can remember it.
00:52:35I can't promise I found true love
00:52:40But you found me like a morning dove
00:52:45Your wild whisper came and woke me up
00:52:51Wide awake, you're all that I dream of
00:52:56So, good morning
00:52:59I'm wide awake, ready for today
00:53:05Maybe we could stay just a little bit longer here
00:53:11And wouldn't you like to see
00:53:15Where this day could lead
00:53:18We got nowhere to be
00:53:21We could stay a little longer here
00:53:24A little longer
00:53:26A little longer
00:53:28A little longer
00:53:29A little longer
00:53:31A little longer
00:53:32We could stay a little longer here
00:53:35A little longer here
00:53:37What?
00:53:39You still remember all the lyrics
00:53:41Yeah, so do you
00:53:43Well, Joel, have you sufficiently humiliated me enough?
00:53:48Or is there anything else?
00:53:50Where'd they go?
00:53:52Uh, well, you know what?
00:53:54I should probably get going, too
00:53:56You know what?
00:53:57I should probably get going, too
00:53:59Yeah, I'll, um...
00:54:00I'll walk you
00:54:01I know I've said it a million times, but...
00:54:15Really?
00:54:16I don't know what I would do without you
00:54:19You're doing great
00:54:21Joel and Sammy really seem to be warming up to you
00:54:24I think so
00:54:26Well, I think I am, too
00:54:28It's been fun getting to know you again
00:54:31I mean, in some ways, you're different
00:54:33But in a lot of ways, you're the same
00:54:36Is that a good thing?
00:54:39Well, I think so
00:54:42Well, um...
00:54:49Good night
00:54:52Good night
00:54:55Good night
00:55:12Good night
00:55:42Uh...
00:55:45That was good
00:55:46Great warm-up, Joel
00:55:47Okay, let's, um...
00:55:49Let's take it from the top
00:55:50What's with you and Andrew?
00:55:54Um...
00:55:55Why?
00:55:56Why?
00:55:57It was just last night you acted kinda... weird
00:56:01That's because they like, like each other
00:56:05Uh...
00:56:06Yeah, of course we like each other
00:56:08We're old friends
00:56:10Special friends
00:56:12Uh...
00:56:13Oh...
00:56:14We...
00:56:23Go, go, go, go, go
00:56:24Look at that
00:56:25Ah!
00:56:26Ah!
00:56:32Okay, okay
00:56:33You win
00:56:35I surrender
00:56:36Too bad
00:56:37Oh!
00:56:38Cheap shot
00:56:42What are these?
00:56:43What's the matter?
00:56:44They're...
00:56:45Letters to your grandma
00:56:46Hmm
00:56:47From my mom
00:56:48I'm so nervous
00:56:49Having flashbacks of when you used to play
00:56:51What made you nervous?
00:56:52Not what I said
00:56:53Not what I said
00:56:54That's what I heard
00:56:56What I heard
00:56:57What?
00:56:58What?
00:56:59What?
00:57:00What?
00:57:01What?
00:57:02What?
00:57:03What?
00:57:04How did you win
00:57:05Who?
00:57:06No...
00:57:07No...
00:57:08...
00:57:09It's not what I said
00:57:10What?
00:57:11What?
00:57:12I'm so nervous.
00:57:16Having flashbacks of when you used to play.
00:57:19That made you nervous?
00:57:21Not what I said.
00:57:22That's what I heard.
00:57:31Go, Gary!
00:57:33Woo!
00:57:38Sorry.
00:57:39Got a little caught up.
00:57:40Hey, I was thinking, um, maybe we could have dinner sometime without the kids.
00:57:46If you want.
00:57:47Like a night off.
00:57:48Uh, maybe tomorrow I could watch them.
00:57:52Oh.
00:57:53Did you see my basket?
00:57:55Of course we saw it.
00:57:56It was awesome.
00:57:57Who wants pizza?
00:57:58Can you make your pasta instead?
00:58:01Yes, I can.
00:58:03Alright, let's go.
00:58:05Um.
00:58:07Maybe.
00:58:10What did you mean when you said maybe to Andrew?
00:58:22Um, nothing.
00:58:25You and Andrew should go on a date.
00:58:27You think so, huh?
00:58:30I think you should get married.
00:58:31Well, Joel, that's not exactly how it works.
00:58:35Besides, I've already got a...
00:58:39Nathan?
00:58:49How did you...
00:58:50Your assistant gave me your address.
00:58:51Of course she did.
00:58:54Came back a little early.
00:58:55Thought I could surprise you.
00:58:57You did.
00:58:59Those the kids?
00:59:05Sorry, um, you just...
00:59:07I promise I won't be in the way.
00:59:08I already rented a place on the river.
00:59:10I just...
00:59:11I wanted to see you.
00:59:12That's all.
00:59:12Andrew.
00:59:20Who's Andrew?
00:59:29You forgot your purse.
00:59:34Thanks.
00:59:35I gotta go.
00:59:50Who's that?
00:59:53School counselor.
00:59:53You know, this kind of thing happens, but not in first class.
01:00:05The baby cries the entire flight from Shanghai.
01:00:09Luckily, I have my noise-canceling headphones.
01:00:14Hey, the kids are getting kind of hungry.
01:00:16Should I get them a snack?
01:00:18It's Bucatini.
01:00:20It's worth the wait.
01:00:22Really?
01:00:22I mean, I don't mind.
01:00:24I could have cooked.
01:00:25No, no.
01:00:25You've been working hard.
01:00:26I want to treat you.
01:00:28This is not a treat.
01:00:29Margaret makes pasta in ten minutes.
01:00:32It's not from a box.
01:00:33I got this recipe when I was in Forenza.
01:00:37That's Florence in Italiano.
01:00:39You cannot get more authentic than this.
01:00:41We don't want authentic.
01:00:43We want dinner.
01:00:44We're starving.
01:00:52Dinner is served.
01:01:07To you, Margaret.
01:01:10To Sammy's winning basket.
01:01:14Yes, that too.
01:01:15What do you think, Joel?
01:01:29I don't like it.
01:01:31I still like Margaret's.
01:01:33This is the best Bucatini you'll ever eat.
01:01:38I promise you.
01:01:42Well, this is nice, isn't it?
01:01:45It is.
01:01:45It is.
01:01:54Say goodnight to Nathan, guys.
01:01:56Goodnight.
01:01:57Goodnight.
01:01:57It takes him a while to warm up to new things.
01:02:04You want to give me a tour of the town tomorrow?
01:02:07Sure.
01:02:13Goodnight.
01:02:15Goodnight.
01:02:16Goodnight.
01:02:27I didn't realize Thanksgiving had so many decorations.
01:02:42You don't have yours up yet?
01:02:45Uh, not yet.
01:02:48So, Nathan showed up for a surprise visit last night.
01:02:52The boyfriend?
01:02:54Mm-hmm.
01:02:54And as he kissed me, Andrew pulled in the driveway.
01:02:59I thought you and Andrew were just friends.
01:03:02Well, we are.
01:03:05Okay, so then what's the problem?
01:03:10Andrew asked me out at Sammy's basketball game.
01:03:13And?
01:03:15And I didn't exactly say no.
01:03:20That could be awkward.
01:03:22Yeah.
01:03:22Yeah.
01:03:24Andrew is amazing with Joel and Sammy.
01:03:29Wait, are you looking for a new daddy for Joel and Sammy?
01:03:32Or do you actually have feelings for Andrew?
01:03:35There's a lot about Andrew that I like.
01:03:39But it's complicated.
01:03:41What's that mean?
01:03:46It's Nathan.
01:03:48I should go.
01:03:49Talk to Andrew.
01:03:50Andrew, it doesn't matter what happens between the two of you.
01:03:54He's part of Sammy and Joel's life.
01:03:57Which makes him a part of your life.
01:04:01Do I have to?
01:04:04Yes.
01:04:05Fine.
01:04:05Fine.
01:04:05Fine.
01:04:32Oh.
01:04:32I'm sorry.
01:04:32Doors open.
01:04:54Hey.
01:04:56Kids miss a bus?
01:04:59Not today.
01:05:01Need me to take the kids after school?
01:05:03No.
01:05:06I'm...
01:05:08I'm here to see you.
01:05:12About...
01:05:14Last night.
01:05:18It's no big deal.
01:05:20Nathan showed up totally out of the blue.
01:05:23I had no idea he was coming.
01:05:25It's fine.
01:05:27Andrew, it's not fine.
01:05:29I should have told you about him.
01:05:31I'm not sure why I didn't.
01:05:39I guess I should have asked.
01:05:42I have so much going on.
01:05:45Big life changes.
01:05:47I think it's best if we just stick to being friends for right now.
01:05:54You know, for the kids.
01:05:58Yeah.
01:06:01Makes sense.
01:06:02Thank you for stopping by.
01:06:04I don't want things to be weird between us.
01:06:14No.
01:06:16It was silly of me to think that things would go backwards, right?
01:06:22Right.
01:06:22Well, I'm supposed to give Nathan a tour of the town.
01:06:29So I guess I better go.
01:06:31Yeah.
01:06:33You better go.
01:06:33So, it turns out that Joel is a fantastic singer.
01:06:50He was just nervous about performing in public.
01:06:53Uh-huh.
01:06:54So, I've been giving him some voice lessons.
01:06:57Wow.
01:06:58And he tried out for the school choir.
01:07:00That's amazing, Ron.
01:07:06I gotta go, Ron.
01:07:07We'll talk soon.
01:07:10Did you hear anything that I just said?
01:07:12Sorry.
01:07:13Ron just got off the phone with Lou Capital in Shanghai.
01:07:15We're looking at an eight-figure deal.
01:07:17That's great.
01:07:19You're not listening to a single word I say.
01:07:22Sure I am.
01:07:25Jack made the school play, right?
01:07:29Margaret, wait.
01:07:33I thought you wanted to talk.
01:07:38This is Margaret.
01:07:39Scarvey, this is Ted Banks.
01:07:41Do you have a minute to talk?
01:07:42Of course.
01:07:44I just got off the phone with Ray.
01:07:45Sammy and Joel's uncle.
01:07:49Um, turns out that he won't be able to take the kids.
01:07:52The Navy needs him a little longer.
01:07:55Really?
01:07:57But I do have some good news.
01:07:58Your Aunt Bertha's back in town.
01:08:01I wasn't...
01:08:01I wasn't aware of that.
01:08:03She wants to adopt Joel and Sammy,
01:08:05and she's willing to move back here.
01:08:07I bet she is.
01:08:09But it's up to you.
01:08:10I think the courts will be on your side
01:08:12if you want to stay on as their legal guardian.
01:08:15Can I get back to you with that?
01:08:19Take your time.
01:08:20Just call me when you're ready.
01:08:32What was that about?
01:08:35Joel and Sammy's uncle.
01:08:36Joel, he's not going to be able to take him.
01:08:42You're not thinking about staying, are you?
01:08:46At first, this was just about keeping a promise to Susan.
01:08:51But now, I care about Joel and Sammy.
01:08:54And what happens to them.
01:08:59You've done your duty.
01:09:02It's time to let somebody else step in.
01:09:06You've got your whole life ahead of you.
01:09:07Think about your business.
01:09:11You want to...
01:09:12give it up to be a mom to somebody else's kids?
01:09:16I don't think I could do that.
01:09:23It is really hard.
01:09:28I mean, maybe...
01:09:29Maybe they would be better with Bertha.
01:09:32I mean, she is their grandma.
01:09:36I need to talk to the kids.
01:09:38See what they want.
01:09:39I think you're doing the right thing.
01:10:01I think it goes here.
01:10:03I don't think so.
01:10:09We went on a walk today.
01:10:17Where'd you go?
01:10:19Um, I showed them around Mountain View.
01:10:21We walked out to the fishing bridge.
01:10:23I love the fishing bridge.
01:10:26The bridge wasn't the most exciting part, though.
01:10:29What happened?
01:10:35Um...
01:10:35We...
01:10:36Margaret got a car.
01:10:37We saw a deer.
01:10:38A deer?
01:10:39Mm-hmm.
01:10:39We saw three deer on the school bus this morning.
01:10:44Why don't you tell them what else happened?
01:10:47Seems as good a time as any.
01:10:53Right.
01:10:55Um...
01:10:56Well...
01:10:59Nathan, can I talk to you outside for a minute?
01:11:02Sure.
01:11:03Okay.
01:11:04We'll be right back, guys.
01:11:05Should we wait for you?
01:11:06No way.
01:11:08Joel's on a roll.
01:11:08What was that?
01:11:19When are you going to tell them?
01:11:22I bet they're going to be excited to hear about their grandma.
01:11:25I said I was going to ask them what they want, not tell them.
01:11:28You agreed it's best for them if Bertha is their guardian.
01:11:34You can be their cousin, just not their mom.
01:11:41You need to tell them the truth.
01:11:43Tell them their uncle isn't coming.
01:11:44Tell them their grandmother's taking over and you want to come back with me.
01:11:46It's simple.
01:11:48It's Joel and Sammy or it's me.
01:11:57You're right.
01:11:59It is simple.
01:12:00You sure about this, Sammy?
01:12:16Margaret doesn't want us.
01:12:17And I'm not living with Grandma both of them.
01:12:20We could just live with Andrew.
01:12:21I don't think so, Joel.
01:12:24Come on.
01:12:25Gotta go.
01:12:25Let's go.
01:12:55Joel? Sammy?
01:13:13There's nothing else I can do?
01:13:15No, ma'am. The best thing you can do is stay at home and can't they come back.
01:13:20All right.
01:13:21Don't worry. I doubt they've gone too far.
01:13:24Thank you, officer.
01:13:32Sammy and Joel are gone.
01:13:39Are you okay?
01:13:41Just hungry.
01:13:43Almost there.
01:13:44Where are my headphones?
01:14:09Thank you for coming.
01:14:25Hey, I called all the parents from the school. We're going to meet up and go look for them.
01:14:40Tamara and Bertha can stay here with you, okay?
01:14:42Hey, Andrew.
01:14:44This is my fault.
01:14:46They overheard me and Nathan talking, but they didn't understand.
01:14:49He told me that I had to choose between him and them, and I told him that he could leave.
01:14:54When I came back in, they were gone.
01:14:55Hey. Hey.
01:14:56Don't worry. We're going to find them. All right?
01:14:58You think Susan made the right choice now?
01:15:08She'd be mortified if she knew how irresponsible you've been with her children.
01:15:12You're right.
01:15:16I don't know what I'll do if anything happens to them.
01:15:18When I was just a little bit older than you, Susan and I got in a big argument about
01:15:44one of your middle school dances. You remember? I told her she was too young to go.
01:15:52She got mad, locked herself in her room, wouldn't come out, didn't talk, didn't eat.
01:16:01Well, I realized I'd made a mistake, but you know how stubborn I can be.
01:16:08When she finally opened the door, I told her that I loved her, and I was sorry, and that I was wrong.
01:16:20As a parent, all you can do is your best.
01:16:28As much as I hate to admit it, Susan was right to choose you.
01:16:33They need someone who can keep up with them.
01:16:41They still need you.
01:16:44We all do.
01:16:49Sammy!
01:16:49Sammy!
01:16:53Joel!
01:16:58Sammy!
01:17:03Mom told me that you took Grandma and Grandpa's house out from underneath of her.
01:17:17That wasn't the whole story, was it?
01:17:19Raising you alone, your mom needed the money, so she agreed to let me keep the house, and she would keep the trust.
01:17:28And then she changed her mind.
01:17:29I was no angel back then, but I never cheated her, I promise.
01:17:37Ugh, if I could only go back.
01:17:49Where'd she go?
01:17:50No idea.
01:17:51I know where they went.
01:17:53What?
01:17:53Where?
01:17:54Sammy said this was the last place they went when they were all together.
01:17:56They loved it so much they wanted to go back, she remembered her mom's laughter because it echoed in the cave.
01:18:01Call Andrew.
01:18:02I did, he's not answering.
01:18:04Go.
01:18:05We'll stay here in case they come back.
01:18:07Okay, thanks.
01:18:08Thanks.
01:18:09Thanks.
01:18:10Thanks.
01:18:11Thanks.
01:18:12Thanks.
01:18:13Thanks.
01:18:14Thanks.
01:18:15Thanks.
01:18:16Thanks.
01:18:17Thanks.
01:18:18Thanks.
01:18:19Thanks.
01:18:20Thanks.
01:18:21Thanks.
01:18:22Thanks.
01:18:23Thanks.
01:18:24Thanks.
01:18:25Thanks.
01:18:26Thanks.
01:18:27Thanks.
01:18:28Thanks.
01:18:29Thanks.
01:18:30Thanks.
01:18:31Thanks.
01:18:32Thanks.
01:18:33Thanks.
01:18:34Thanks.
01:18:35Thanks.
01:18:36Thanks.
01:18:37Thanks.
01:18:38Thanks.
01:18:39Thanks.
01:18:40Thanks.
01:18:41Thanks.
01:18:42Thanks.
01:18:43Thanks.
01:18:44Thanks.
01:18:45Thanks.
01:18:46Thanks.
01:18:47Thanks.
01:18:48Thanks.
01:18:49Thanks.
01:18:50Thanks.
01:18:51Thanks.
01:18:52Thanks.
01:18:53Thanks.
01:18:54Thanks.
01:18:55And when you wake up in the morning, everything will be okay.
01:18:59You promise?
01:19:00I promise.
01:19:18It's so dark. I sent everyone home until morning.
01:19:21Margaret thinks she knows where they are and she already left.
01:19:23But why didn't she call?
01:19:24She tried. She thinks they might be at the cave.
01:19:36Sammy!
01:19:39Maybe the angels are singing, my name.
01:19:43I don't think that was an angel.
01:19:44I want to go home, Sammy. Please? I don't want to live here.
01:19:54Sammy! Joel! I'm sorry!
01:20:07You heard that, right?
01:20:08I don't know what I'm doing, but I want to keep crying if you'll let me. Just be okay.
01:20:17We have to go.
01:20:19She said she was sorry.
01:20:21She doesn't want us. She just feels sorry for us.
01:20:26All right. Let's go.
01:20:28Sammy?
01:20:34Joel?
01:20:34Are you guys okay?
01:20:36We're fine.
01:20:38Sammy, I'm not going anywhere.
01:20:40And I am so sorry that I hurt you.
01:20:43What can I do to prove to you that I love you?
01:20:51Come here.
01:20:51It's like you didn't need my help after all.
01:21:01You okay?
01:21:03Yeah.
01:21:04Let's go home.
01:21:06Up next, Joel Deville.
01:21:08Joel?
01:21:12Joel?
01:21:13Joel?
01:21:13Joel?
01:21:14Joel?
01:21:15Joel?
01:21:16Joel?
01:21:17Joel?
01:21:18Joel?
01:21:19Joel?
01:21:20Joel?
01:21:21I've been traveling these country roads for so long that I forgot about home.
01:21:41Been away for so long, I'm not so sure where I belong now, no.
01:21:51The time has gone like I knew it would, so I've decided that I should call this my home.
01:22:05I'm at home, yeah, home.
01:22:12And I've decided that I would have been trying this hour long.
01:22:16Yeah!
01:22:18Woo!
01:22:18Woo!
01:22:19Woo!
01:22:20Woo!
01:22:20Woo!
01:22:20Woo!
01:22:22Woo!
01:22:22Woo!
01:22:22Woo!
01:22:24Woo!
01:22:24Woo!
01:22:24Woo!
01:22:25Woo!
01:22:25Woo!
01:22:26Woo!
01:22:26Woo!
01:22:27Woo!
01:22:27Woo!
01:22:29Woo!
01:22:35Woo!
01:22:38How's it going over here, guys?
01:22:48How's it look?
01:22:49It looks very Thanksgiving-y to me.
01:22:54That's not a word.
01:22:55Sure it is.
01:22:56As of today, everything is very Thanksgiving-y.
01:23:01Right, Bertha?
01:23:03Smells like something's burning to me.
01:23:08It looks perfect.
01:23:21I like this.
01:23:22Yeah.
01:23:23I love it.
01:23:25All right.
01:23:25He's hungry.
01:23:26Let's dig in.
01:23:28Thanks.
01:23:30It was a family tradition when your mom and I were younger
01:23:33to go around the table and say what we're thankful for.
01:23:35Sammy, do you want to go first?
01:23:39I'm thankful you didn't burn the turkey.
01:23:46Um, I'm thankful for...
01:23:52We'll come back to you, Joel.
01:23:56I am thankful to be here with my family.
01:23:59And I'm thankful for old friends.
01:24:05Okay.
01:24:07My turn.
01:24:09I'm thankful for Joel and Sammy.
01:24:12You two are something that I didn't know that I needed.
01:24:15And if you'll have me,
01:24:17I would like to adopt you.
01:24:21I'd like us to be a family.
01:24:23I thought we were a family.
01:24:25I thought we were cousins.
01:24:28You're right.
01:24:30She's saying she wants to be her mom.
01:24:32No.
01:24:33I can never take the place of your mom and dad.
01:24:37But I will be here for you.
01:24:40Always.
01:24:42You know what I'm thankful for?
01:24:45Margaret.
01:24:46Me too.
01:24:47Me too.
01:24:47Thank you for in the midst of our loss,
01:24:59you gave us each other.
01:25:01Amen.
01:25:02Amen.
01:25:07All right, here you go, buddy.
01:25:09You want some good beans?
01:25:10That's good.
01:25:11What about you, Sammy?
01:25:12What's the worst about the ams?
01:25:14What is this?
01:25:15You like the ams?
01:25:16Marshmallows?
01:25:18Yeah.
01:25:18You like marshmallows, too.
01:25:19That's so good, man.
01:25:20Yep.
01:25:21Okay.
01:25:21Marshmallows.
01:25:23That's what Thanksgiving is doing.
01:25:24That's really good.
01:25:25Yum.
01:25:27Then that means you're moving here for good.
01:25:31For good sounds so...
01:25:33Permanent.
01:25:35Yeah, I know.
01:25:37What about work?
01:25:38There's another architect that wants to share my office space.
01:25:41So I can keep my place and my assistant.
01:25:43I'll drive in and meet with clients once a week,
01:25:46and then two or three days a week I'll work remotely.
01:25:50I'll need some help, of course.
01:25:53That's what friends are for.
01:25:55Yeah.
01:25:57I suppose.
01:25:58You missed a spot.
01:26:03Do you remember why we broke up?
01:26:04Not exactly.
01:26:12I stopped coming home.
01:26:16And I stopped calling.
01:26:19You just stopped.
01:26:20I should have called.
01:26:28Now that I'm older,
01:26:29and an expert in feelings,
01:26:30I can tell you exactly why I did that.
01:26:32Can't wait to hear this.
01:26:34I was stupid.
01:26:38And I wish I had the chance to do it over.
01:26:39I can't promise I found you love
01:26:49Cause you find me like a morning dove
01:26:55Your heart whisper came and woke me up
01:27:01You're wide awake, you're all that I dream of
01:27:06So good morning
01:27:09I'm wide awake
01:27:12Ready for today
01:27:15Maybe we could stay
01:27:18Just a little bit longer here
01:27:20Wouldn't you
01:27:22Like to see
01:27:24Where this day could be
01:27:28We got nowhere to be
01:27:30We could stay a little longer here
01:27:33A little longer
01:27:36A little longer
01:27:39A little longer
01:27:40A little longer
01:27:42We could stay a little longer here
01:27:46A little longer
01:27:48A little longer
01:27:49A little longer here
01:27:53A little longer
01:27:55We could stay a little longer here
01:27:59We could stay a little longer here
01:28:29We could stay a little longer here
01:28:39We could stay a little longer here
01:28:45We could stay a little longer here
01:28:53We could stay a little longer here
01:29:07We could stay a little longer here
01:29:13We could stay a little longer here
