00:01In weather, record-breaking hurricane-course winds are hitting us early in the season this year.
00:07We're looking at sustained gusts of over 97 miles an hour.
00:30We should head over to Davis. She's got a baseline.
01:00Dancer?
01:06Dancer!
01:09Dancer!
01:18Dancer!
01:23Lord, I need a little help right now!
01:26I got him!
01:30I need a little help.
01:35Camera is south, every centre of the valley. This may be the storm of the century.
01:38Reports are tornadoes touching down and the words are still heading our way.
01:41If you can hear this, take shelter immediately. The time for evacuation is over.
01:46What a sec. We'll be here on that.
01:50Um, I'm gonna...
01:54Is that him?
01:56All you guys in town
02:01Call him Trump
02:04I think it's about time for you and me to, uh, get the hay
02:09Seriously
02:11Yeah
02:13Now what I remember, I remember being here for one of your birthday parties
02:20You know what, I...
02:23I also remember running into you at the, uh, picnic
02:27Yeah, about five years ago now
02:31All in all, T2
02:32All right
02:33Everybody ready?
02:35Ready
02:35Set
02:36Go
02:38Inside
02:39Outside
02:39Inside
02:40Inside
02:40Inside
02:41Inside
02:42Inside
02:43No, it's fine
02:43No, I'm sorry
02:46Oh, I spoke too soon
02:50I thought we were gonna win
02:51Today's been really fun.
02:57Yeah, I've even enjoyed losing that rice.
03:06I'm just going to go out on a limb here,
03:09but I think this would be really fun to do again next week.
03:14The fair's not going to be back until the end of the month.
03:18Oh, I know, not the fair.
03:21Oh, I just meant coffee or a movie or something.
03:26I'll get the tickets to get the popcorn.
03:31Uh, I don't think so.
03:38Lauren, look, I did you a favor, believe me.
03:41You were a schoolteacher,
03:44and people would have talked, I promise.
03:47They talked anyway.
03:48No, but the stories would have been much different.
03:51Yeah, but I would not have cared.
03:56I'm sorry.
03:57Lorna, I'm so sorry.
04:19This is my house.
04:25This is where I grew up.
04:26Like, all of my memories are here.
04:29Lauren, a lot of this stuff isn't ruined.
04:31You know, you just dry it out,
04:34take the water off of it, the mold sets in.
04:36I guess.
04:38You guess?
04:40No, things are just things, Lauren.
04:42No, but they were my things, though.
04:46Right.
04:47But they weren't you.
04:49They weren't Dancer, they weren't your parents.
04:53I know, you're right.
04:54When I was a little girl,
04:57I would sit there,
04:59and I'd watch my parents fix everything.
05:01And then I grew up,
05:02and I learned how to do the same.
05:04My dad and I built that barn
05:05that kept us safe last night.
05:08And I have watched hours and hours
05:11of home rental shows.
05:14I'm going to rebuild this house myself.
05:18Yeah?
05:19Yes.
05:21I know I can do it.
05:23So, Lauren,
05:24what are you going to do next?
05:28First,
05:29I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself.
05:32I know there are plenty of folks out there
05:34who are way worse off than I am.
05:36I was actually
05:36thinking about that earlier this morning.
05:40I thought about, uh,
05:42maybe going into town,
05:44checking everybody,
05:45checking the
05:45damage.
05:47Well, let's go do that.
05:51Yeah.
05:52All right.
05:56All right,
05:56why don't we, uh,
05:57throw on a change of clothes?
05:58Yeah, okay.
05:59What'd I do?
06:05Colin,
06:06I'm sorry about last night.
06:07What about?
06:09It's bringing up the past.
06:11I shouldn't have done that.
06:13I'm sorry.
06:14It was that day at the fair.
06:14Thank you, but
06:16you are allowed to date
06:18whoever you want.
06:20Believe me,
06:21you did dodge a bullet with me.
06:23Okay?
06:24Being single,
06:24it's kind of my lot,
06:25I guess.
06:26But,
06:27what about you?
06:29Anyone you're seeing?
06:31Uh, yeah,
06:32my boyfriend,
06:32Dane.
06:34Well,
06:34he's not a fiancé,
06:35actually.
06:36Well,
06:36kind of.
06:37kind of.
06:40It's a kind of fiancé.
06:43What's this?
06:47Frida.
06:48Colin?
06:48Lauren?
06:49Hey, Frida,
06:50how are you and Hector doing?
06:51We're good.
06:52Can't say as much for Mayor Wallace.
06:54Did you hear?
06:55No.
06:56What happened?
06:57Heart attack.
06:58He was checking on some people
06:59and a tree fell.
07:01Landed on the hood of his car,
07:02just like that.
07:04He didn't make it.
07:05There's never been a storm like this
07:07recorded in the county's history.
07:09We're all praying that there aren't
07:10any more casualties.
07:12I can't believe this.
07:14Um,
07:15thank you so much,
07:16Frida.
07:18Drop safe.
07:19You too, Colin.
07:20Rose are in bad shape.
07:28Hey,
07:29Sutter.
07:30It's Colin.
07:31Yeah,
07:31no,
07:31how are you?
07:32It, uh,
07:32looked pretty bad up there last night.
07:34Yeah,
07:34no, uh,
07:35not a scratch.
07:36I'm relieved.
07:37How's Colin?
07:37Mom,
07:38not a scratch.
07:39His words.
07:39He's fine.
07:40I, um,
07:42I spent the night
07:43at Lauren Christensen's barn.
07:45Excuse me?
07:47You want to explain?
07:48I'm fine,
07:49but, um,
07:51her house
07:51was destroyed
07:53in the storm.
07:57That's awful.
07:58Oh,
07:58and good of you
07:59to take care of her.
08:00Oh, no.
08:00She's actually the one
08:01who took care of me.
08:03She actually got me in
08:04out of the storm,
08:05kept me dry.
08:07How did you end up
08:08at her place?
08:09I mean,
08:09I know you got that property
08:10up there next to hers,
08:11but...
08:11Hey, uh,
08:12Sutter,
08:12listen,
08:13I gotta go.
08:14This is the only line
08:15that we have.
08:16Okay, uh,
08:17just tell me one thing.
08:18She's still as good looking
08:19as I remember?
08:22Better.
08:23You'd be good
08:26to her, Colin.
08:26Yeah,
08:27the mom won't love her.
08:28I already did.
08:29Later.
08:30See ya.
08:33So,
08:34how did the
08:34Shumaks make out?
08:35The road
08:36to their barn
08:37washed out completely,
08:38but they got
08:39their animals out early,
08:40so...
08:41They did.
08:44That's some good news,
08:45I guess.
08:45Hey,
08:48going back to
08:48what I said earlier
08:49about helping you
08:51rebuild your house,
08:53it'd be no trouble.
08:54It's okay,
08:55I can figure it out.
08:57It's not like
08:58I think that you need
08:59a man's help
08:59or anything like that,
09:00it's just,
09:01you know what I do
09:02for a living,
09:03right?
09:03Yes,
09:04you make furniture.
09:05I'm a carpenter,
09:06pretty good carpenter,
09:07actually,
09:08and so helping you
09:09with your house
09:09would be no problem.
09:11That's a really nice offer,
09:12but no thank you.
09:13the phone's free,
09:16so I'm going
09:17to call my fiancée.
09:29You up, Dane?
09:30Hey, it's me.
09:32Lauren,
09:33my assistant's been
09:33trying you for hours.
09:34Are you okay?
09:35Yes, I'm fine.
09:38Um,
09:38but my entire house
09:40was destroyed.
09:42And sorry,
09:42I would have called
09:43earlier,
09:43but all the power's out,
09:45all the phone lines
09:46are down.
09:50Your house
09:51was destroyed?
09:52But my Lauren's okay.
09:54I'm fine.
09:55I promise.
09:56You should move
09:56into my Manhattan condo
09:57while I'm still
09:58closing with steel.
09:59Then when I'm done,
10:00I'll meet you there.
10:00You want me to leave
10:01at a time like this?
10:03Dane,
10:03I can't do that.
10:04The community needs
10:05every single one of us
10:07here right now.
10:07Look,
10:08I just want you
10:10to be safe.
10:12That's sweet.
10:13But I'm going
10:15to stay here
10:15and I also
10:17want to rebuild
10:19my family home
10:20myself.
10:21Listen,
10:22give me a couple hours.
10:23I'm going to talk
10:24to my assistant.
10:24He's going to find you
10:25the best crew
10:26in the Tri-State area.
10:27They'll be there
10:27this afternoon
10:28to start construction.
10:29A crew?
10:30No,
10:30no,
10:31no,
10:32it's way too early
10:33for any of that.
10:33You're going to
10:34supervise,
10:34of course.
10:36Dane Richards,
10:37you have zero
10:38listening skills.
10:39My grandparents
10:40built that family home
10:41and I'm going
10:43to do the same.
10:43Lauren,
10:44Lauren,
10:44I'm just trying to help.
10:45You're a school teacher.
10:46You can't build
10:46house by yourself.
10:47I know it takes
10:48a team to rebuild
10:49a home,
10:50but that team
10:51starts with me.
10:56Hey,
10:58I'm a junior.
10:59Excuse me?
11:01Sorry,
11:01I was ready.
11:03And that is why
11:04we need to get
11:04people out there
11:05now starting
11:06the cleanup efforts.
11:07This is crazy.
11:09The council has made
11:10a list of places
11:11to start.
11:12Nathan,
11:14I know you're
11:17doing your best
11:18with Mayor Wallace,
11:19gone and all,
11:21but we need
11:21to organize
11:22search parties
11:23to go out there
11:24and find people
11:25who need help.
11:28I just spoke
11:29with the people
11:29from FEMA
11:30less than
11:31an hour ago.
11:32They need
11:33the roads clear
11:33so that they
11:34can deliver
11:34the relief supplies.
11:35Food,
11:36water,
11:37medicine.
11:37Right.
11:37Search and rescue
11:38is the main
11:39priority right now.
11:41You said yourself
11:42that FEMA was
11:42not going to be
11:43here for several
11:43days.
11:44This is not
11:45about you, Colin.
11:46Please sit down.
11:47Nathan,
11:48given the circumstances,
11:49I feel like we just
11:50set aside our differences.
11:52Now here,
11:52we look out for each
11:54other.
11:55That's what we do.
11:57You guys said,
11:57there could be people
11:57out there without
11:58clean water,
11:59without power.
12:00They could be injured,
12:01they could be sick.
12:03We've got to have
12:04search parties to get
12:04out there and find
12:05those people.
12:06Sure.
12:07Our fire department
12:08is out there right now
12:10doing exactly just that.
12:12Great.
12:13Well, we could help
12:13them.
12:14How many firefighters
12:15are there?
12:15We have five
12:16well-trained
12:18professionals.
12:19Five.
12:20Nathan, that's a lot
12:21of ground to cover.
12:23Then we should split
12:24those five up.
12:25And each one of those
12:26firefighters can be in
12:27charge of a small
12:27search party of
12:28volunteers.
12:29We could search the
12:29entire town in a day,
12:30a day and a half at
12:31max.
12:32So we'd have five
12:33search parties?
12:35Five.
12:36Fine.
12:37The council will radio
12:38out to the professionals
12:39and if the firefighters
12:40agree, the council
12:42will allow it.
12:43Page.
12:57Oh, I'm so happy to see
12:59you.
13:00I've been looking
13:00everywhere for you.
13:02Oh, we tried to get
13:03to you.
13:04I'm so glad you two
13:05made it through the
13:06storm okay.
13:07Oh, we're fine.
13:08We're fine.
13:09Hey, how are you and
13:10Mark?
13:10Oh, we just lost the
13:11porch and the shed.
13:12How about your place?
13:16Not as bad as some.
13:18You know, my heart goes
13:19out to Carolina Santos.
13:21Mine too.
13:21Hey, was that Colin I saw
13:26you waving at just now?
13:28Oh, yeah.
13:28Yeah, he's helping out
13:29with one of the search and
13:30rescue teams.
13:31Yeah, I heard he was
13:32helping, but why are you
13:34waving at each other?
13:36You hate him.
13:37No, I don't hate him.
13:39Oh, really?
13:40I have heard you say the
13:41actual words.
13:42I hate Colin Tron.
13:43I'm just worried about him.
13:47You know, Paige, I'm
13:47worried about everybody.
13:49It's dangerous out there.
13:51There are live power lines
13:52down.
13:52There are complete road
13:53closures.
13:54Like...
13:55So when exactly did the
13:58hate stop?
13:59Well, last night, we spent
14:02the night together in the
14:03barn and the...
14:04Lauren?
14:05Tell me everything.
14:07No, nothing happens.
14:10No, we...
14:11We just got to know each
14:12other a little better.
14:12That's all.
14:14Okay, let's help with the
14:16potluck.
14:17And you are telling me
14:18every detail.
14:20Come on.
14:20Nothing.
14:38Useless technology.
14:43Help!
14:44Help me!
14:46Anybody?
14:48Help me!
14:56Mr. Rodriguez, are you
14:58in there?
14:59Yes!
14:59I'm here!
15:01I got knocked off my
15:02wheelchair!
15:05My leg is stuck!
15:07Stay calm.
15:08Yeah, we have the rescue
15:09team here.
15:10We're here in this
15:10to bring and we'll get you
15:11out.
15:15I miss you!
15:18I've been stuck here
15:19for hours!
15:22All right, we're here
15:22now.
15:23Okay, we'll have you
15:24out shortly.
15:33So, did you hear?
15:39What, the chicken's a
15:40little dry, but the mac and
15:41cheese is to die for?
15:43Nope.
15:43Thank you so much.
15:45Your boyfriend's a hero.
15:46Oh, yeah?
15:49Dane's in Australia.
15:50What could he have done?
15:51No.
15:52You're a new boyfriend.
15:55I'm an engaged woman.
15:57So, you officially accepted
15:59Dane's proposal then?
16:02Not exactly.
16:03See?
16:05I love Dane.
16:06I have no interest in Colin
16:09except his friends, and
16:11besides, he made it very
16:12clear in the past that he
16:13was never interested either.
16:17Wait, hero?
16:19He saved Mr. Rodriguez.
16:22Hugo fell out of his
16:23wheelchair and spent the
16:24entire storm on the floor
16:26of his bedroom.
16:27He was lucky that Colin
16:29found him.
16:31Wait, is he going to be
16:32okay?
16:32Yeah, Joel, he's a
16:34firefighter, said Colin
16:36cleared the debris and
16:37carried Hugo out to the
16:39team.
16:40Joel said, if they hadn't
16:43split up like Colin
16:44suggested, they wouldn't
16:46have got to Hugo for a few
16:47more days.
16:49And who knows what would
16:50have happened by then.
16:56We have got ourselves a real
16:58live hero.
16:59Well, if you're not
17:03interested, maybe I should
17:04ask him out.
17:05I think you should stop
17:06talking and eat some
17:07chicken.
17:08I hear it's wrong.
17:29How bad was it out there?
17:52Ah.
17:54More tough than bad.
17:55Why do I feel like you
17:58chose the areas that were
18:00hardest hit to search?
18:02I guess I should have
18:04thought that one through
18:04a little bit more.
18:07You must be exhausted
18:08compared to what we did.
18:11Answering phones, ordering
18:13a few supplies.
18:15Oh, come on.
18:16I saw well-fed children in
18:17clean clothes that looked
18:18very happy.
18:20I know that was all you're
18:21doing.
18:21So, tell me about this
18:26fiancée.
18:27Dane?
18:30Um, Dane is an architect.
18:33He's actually in Australia
18:34right now.
18:35He's working on a big
18:36project and, um, and then
18:38he'll be back here.
18:42Is he a good man?
18:45Yes.
18:46Yes.
18:47He's very good to me.
18:51But?
18:53But, well, when you, when
18:56you're with the person you're
18:57supposed to marry, you, you
18:59have this gut feeling, right?
19:01Right.
19:04Unless he isn't.
19:08Oh, no, no, no.
19:09It's okay.
19:09Don't be silly.
19:11You're freezing.
19:13Just take it.
19:16You're welcome.
19:18You should run for mayor.
19:20Because I gave you my
19:21jacket?
19:22No.
19:23Although I would vote for
19:24that guy.
19:25The way you corralled the
19:27search and rescue team.
19:30And how you helped Mr.
19:32Rodriguez, it's...
19:33Listen, Joel saved Mr.
19:35Rodriguez, okay?
19:36I just moved some things out
19:38of the way.
19:39That's all.
19:40I'm not so sure that Nathan
19:42is the person for that.
19:45You should think about it.
19:46Yeah.
19:47I think I'll, uh, leave
19:50running this town to better
19:51men.
19:52Who said that?
19:53You send whoever said that
19:55my way, and I'll give them
19:56a good talking to.
19:57Oh, really?
19:58Mm-hmm.
19:58What would you say?
20:00In under 72 hours, a man
20:03who thought I hated him...
20:05Hey, you did hate me.
20:07Shh, I'm talking.
20:09Okay.
20:09This man saved my dog, helped
20:14scores of people, and offered
20:16to rebuild my family house.
20:18Which you refused?
20:20Which I appreciated.
20:22It's the intent that matters.
20:25Okay.
20:26And he offered me this lovely
20:28jacket because he thought I was
20:31cold.
20:33You know what?
20:33If you're not cold, I'd be more
20:35than happy to take this jacket
20:36back.
20:37That's fine.
20:41Hey, Dane.
20:42My beautiful Lauren.
20:43How's everything flood-wise this
20:44morning?
20:45It was a beautiful day down
20:46under.
20:46Yeah, we're doing okay.
20:48It's...
20:49Things are still a little bit of a
20:50disaster, but we're all
20:51pulling through.
20:52That's my girl.
20:54So, uh, when are you getting
20:55here?
20:56Coming in, sorry?
20:57Yeah, yeah.
20:58When is your project wrapping up
20:59so you can come help?
21:00Help?
21:00Happy to help.
21:01Just give me the number.
21:02I'll wire you the cash.
21:04Cash?
21:05No, no, no, no.
21:06Dane, this is not about cash,
21:08okay?
21:08I don't need money.
21:10Dane, I need you here.
21:25Dancer, come on.
21:26No!
21:26No!
21:26No!
21:27No!
21:27No!
21:30Get down on the phone, will ya?
21:32You want to help Tony with the
21:35lumber?
21:35All right.
21:35Excuse me.
21:37Hello.
21:37Hi.
21:38What's going on here?
21:40Looks like we're rebuilding
21:41somebody's home.
21:42Yes, this is my house.
21:44Ah, you must be Lauren Richards.
21:49It's Lauren Christensen.
21:52Did a man named Dane put you up to
21:54this?
21:55Mr. Richards hired us, yes.
21:57I need everybody off of my property
22:00right now.
22:01Excuse me, miss?
22:06You have Dane.
22:07Dane, what is going on on my property
22:09right now?
22:10Lauren, guess what?
22:11I got my assistant to get a great crew.
22:13They're going to be there any minute now.
22:14Oh, yeah, they're all working here right now.
22:16Great.
22:17They said they'd be fast.
22:18No, Dane, I told you I wanted to rebuild
22:21my family home myself.
22:23But I just wanted to support.
22:26Dane, you are a great guy.
22:29You really are.
22:30You have treated me like gold.
22:32But there is one thing that has become
22:34crystal clear to me, and that is that
22:36you have never treated me like an equal.
22:39You know, all my thoughts, all my feelings
22:41have been completely second to yours.
22:43What?
22:43Lauren, I...
22:45Like, you never listened.
22:46That time that I told you I didn't want
22:48to go to London, or that I didn't need
22:50that new car, or that I will never
22:52give up being a teacher.
22:58Dane, I can't do this anymore.
23:03I can't marry you.
23:10Lauren?
23:12Lauren?
23:12In my moment of weakness, I need something
23:20I'm free.
23:28I'm free.
23:35In my moment of weakness, I need something
23:41I need something to free, this heaviness on my heart that I can't shake.
23:54I still carry it with me, feeling like I'm unworthy.
24:04And the thing I need most is the hardest to take.
24:11Where the shadows grow tall, and your back's up against the wall.
24:24In this moment it's clear, in the darkest of times, love begins here.
24:36You know, you really should get that dog a leash.
24:39Yeah, well.
24:41Add it to the list.
24:43Holy cow. Lauren, how did you build this this fast?
24:48Dane made a few calls.
24:50That's a good call.
24:53You think?
24:55Yeah, absolutely.
24:56Absolutely. I've heard you go on about a dozen times about building this yourself. So it's clearly important to you.
25:05Wow. I agree. Thank you.
25:09Hey, listen. Also, I need to apologize about last night. You know, we almost...
25:13We almost, but we didn't. Right. Right? That's the important thing. Yeah, because, you know, emotions were high. I don't know. I guess that just...
25:24Plus, who would've thought? The sanctuary at night would be that nice, shall we say.
25:33Yeah. Yeah. And the stained glass windows were really nice as well.
25:39It won't happen again.
25:40You bet. Good call.
25:44So, what's next for you in this house, Miss Lauren?
25:51This house? Well, um, actually, I was hoping to recruit a nice, strong person to help me lift some heavy furniture.
25:58I guess that's me.
26:02All right. Just a few feet back there.
26:04Pivot to your right.
26:05Right.
26:06And we'll just go right to that wall.
26:10Okay. Right here?
26:11Yeah.
26:14Amazing.
26:15Okay. I just need your help with this trunk over here.
26:21One or two things, huh?
26:28You okay?
26:40Yeah.
26:41Oh, who doesn't want a chance to remodel?
26:43Right?
26:45I did want to do it myself, though.
26:47Listen, I understand, but Dane's people, they did an amazing job.
26:53Okay?
26:53Because they left the entire foundation.
26:55They put up the perimeter wall, so you can completely design the layout.
27:00I mean, you can move the kitchen from over here to right here, get better sunlight during the day.
27:06Right here, you could add a little, uh, breakfast nook.
27:09And, uh, this, if you extend the mudroom out a little bit, you have an extra bedroom.
27:15Bedroom or an office?
27:16Or an office. Anything you want.
27:18Colin, these are good ideas.
27:20I think they're all for tomorrow's work, Bill.
27:22Sounds good.
27:23I think I'm going to hit the hay.
27:25Literally.
27:26What do you mean?
27:27I think I'm going to spend the night in the barn again tonight.
27:32By yourself?
27:34Well, with dance, sir.
27:36Yeah, no, I wasn't implying that I would stay with you.
27:39I just, um, why not go back to the relief center?
27:42You know why?
27:43Because a really nice guy helped me fix up my bedroom in there, and I'd like to embrace that.
27:49Well, I'm going back there tonight myself, so if you need a ride, I'd be more than happy.
27:54Why?
27:54I thought your house was fine.
27:55Yeah, no, it's fine.
27:56I'm just going to go back in case anybody needs any help from me.
27:58Now, think about it.
27:59Here, you have no running water.
28:03You don't have a working washroom.
28:05I think the relief center will be a better idea.
28:07So, come back, get there with the townspeople, and myself.
28:11You flipped me.
28:15That's good.
28:17Come on, Decker.
28:17Come on.
28:41You're welcome.
28:47In this world, in this life, you need someone to hold you, to stay young and stay free.
28:59In this world, in this life, you need someone to love you.
29:05This is what a good thing feels like
29:11In this world, in this life
29:16You need someone to love you
29:18This is what a good thing feels like
29:24Hello!
29:28Got you a little lunch?
29:32You're welcome.
29:33So, I have a question for you
29:37Okay
29:38Mr. Colin Ladies Man
29:40How come you haven't found a lady for yourself yet?
29:46Honestly?
29:47Honestly
29:47My dad
29:51I remember your dad
29:54He left a few years back, no?
29:57Yeah
29:58After he cheated on my mother more than once
30:02I was the youngest of five boys
30:04And my mom was
30:06She didn't have the time or the energy to supervise me
30:11And younger Colin might have taken advantage of that
30:14But my mom
30:16After taking care of five boys
30:18After cooking dinners and cleaning the house
30:21And going through letters from my teachers
30:22She would actually sit down and tutor me every night
30:26And it worked
30:28I got better grades
30:30Moms, you gotta love them
30:34Dad's not so much
30:36Apparently mine was
30:39Spending time all over town
30:43And my mom
30:45She never talked about it
30:47One night we were
30:49At my brother's wedding
30:51We're sitting there
30:53Just the two of us
30:54And she finally told me
30:56Everything that he had done
30:57How badly he had
31:00Hurt her
31:01And
31:02That was the night
31:05That was the night that I promised her
31:07I would never be like him
31:09I would never be my father
31:11And I might have been the resident ladies man
31:16As you put it
31:16But I never cheated
31:17Never
31:19But you can't spend your whole life
31:24Pushing people away though, Colin
31:26That's worked so far
31:29But
31:30Hey listen, I want to make a suggestion, okay
31:32We've made a lot of progress on this house
31:34Great progress
31:36Yes, we have
31:37But
31:38We have some pretty big jobs coming up
31:41Like roofing
31:42Electrical
31:44Plumbing
31:45So
31:47With your permission
31:48I have some friends
31:51Who could probably help you
31:52With that
31:52And get you in your home a little quicker
31:54Okay
31:56I could be open to that
31:57Huh?
32:04Lauren
32:04I don't know if you remember any of my old friends
32:07But they just got done clearing the main road
32:08Out to the highway
32:09We got Dev
32:10Oh
32:11We got Sean
32:12And
32:13Siro
32:13Yeah, yeah
32:14Dev, good to see you again
32:16How have you been?
32:17Hey, take it easy
32:18She's got a fiance, you know
32:19I'm just saying hi
32:20Guys
32:21This means so much to me, honestly
32:23Thank you so, so much
32:25Now
32:25So tell Siro
32:26What she wants to live first
32:28We'll go ahead and get started
32:29Come on
32:34Stay
32:34Steady as the beating
32:36From my love
32:38Won't
32:39Never wanna
32:40Waver from your driftwood
32:44Floating up onto the shore
32:47You stole my heart
33:06What's up?
33:12Hey!
33:12So, um
33:15You and Colin?
33:20We're friends
33:21What?

33:24Oh, okay

33:38No vibe
33:39Okay
33:41No vibe
33:42Why?
33:46Did you
33:46Did you pick up on a vibe
33:48Or something?
33:50This is grade school
33:51Should I pass a note for you
33:53During math class?
33:58Well
33:58Colin kinda likes you
34:00Really?
34:06Hmm?
34:06And you kinda like him
34:08Yeah
34:11I
34:12I
34:12Really like Colin
34:13As a friend
34:14Seriously
34:15He's been
34:16Amazing to me
34:17Throughout this whole
34:18Storm
34:18Situation
34:19No
34:23As a little kid
34:25You liked him
34:26As a big kid
34:28You liked him
34:29When you moved to Georgia
34:30You liked him
34:32And when he moved
34:33Back
34:34No surprises there
34:36What I do

34:58I cannot believe
35:00How much progress
35:01We've made on this house
35:02Well
35:03The Amish can build a barn
35:04In a day
35:05So
35:05By that standard
35:07We're
35:07Kind of far behind schedule
35:08No
35:09No but
35:11Seriously
35:12Your friends
35:12Are really awesome
35:13That zero
35:15Can really lift
35:17Heavy things

35:40How are you going to do that
35:41No no not in the house
35:42In the barn
35:43Plus the house has
35:44Running water
35:45Gas

36:01No
36:03I'm just letting you know
36:06If you didn't feel like
36:07Staying at the barn
36:08By yourself
36:08You have a place
36:09Yeah
36:10Well that's sweet of you
36:11But I'm a big girl

36:55Mmhmm
36:56Friends...
37:20Friends...
37:22Friends!
37:24Colin, she is asleep in a barn by herself.
37:32What would your mother think if she knew this?
37:36You know what? He's not even that good looking.
37:38No matter how many times Zero thinks he catches me checking him out.
37:42He's not.
37:45He's so amazing, though. He just doesn't see it.
37:49He saved entire families out there.
37:54He helped you rebuild my house.
38:02Friends, my fights.
38:10That's it.
38:24Lauren!
38:26Lauren!
38:34Lauren?
38:35Lauren?
38:43Hello?
38:44Hey, Colin.
38:45It's me.
38:46It's Lauren.
38:47Um, why aren't you answering your door?
38:50Wait, you're at my place?
38:52Wait, you're not at your place?
38:54No, no.
38:54I'm at your place.
38:56What are you doing there?
38:58I, uh, I was worried about you.
39:03Yeah.
39:04You started coming?
39:05Check on you.
39:06What are you doing at my place?
39:08I got scared.
39:10Uh, yeah, I just, I was scared staying in the creepy barn by myself.
39:13You said it wasn't creepy.
39:14No, I know, but it, it turns out it is.
39:17Oh.
39:19You're at my place, I'm at your place.
39:23Yeah, that's pretty funny.
39:25Why don't you just, why don't you just crash at my place tonight and I'll stay here.
39:31Yeah, no, that, um, that sounds great.
39:33Very reasonable.
39:36Yeah, um, the, um, the key to the front door is there on the window seal.
39:43We'll all have a big laugh about this tomorrow, Lauren.
39:45I know.
39:48Okay, goodnight, Colin.
39:50It's my sleep, Lauren.
39:50Wow.
40:08Wow.
40:29I remember this.
40:38Who's got a fiancée?
40:45You can't do this.
40:48I remember this.
41:07Dancer?
41:10Is that you, buddy?
41:18What are you doing, Colin?
41:20Sleeping in a pink frilly bed, that's what you're doing.
41:40Lauren?
41:41What are you doing here?
41:44I came here to talk to you.
41:47Okay.
41:48Is everything alright?
41:50No, actually, it's not.
41:52Okay.
41:54I...
41:56I really like you, Colin.
42:00I really like you.
42:01And actually, I came to apologize to you, too,
42:04for hating you all of those years after that stupid day at the picnic.
42:10Because I was just embarrassed.
42:13And I was really insecure.
42:15And I spent years trying to avoid you thinking that you were this horrible person even though you're not at all.
42:21I was a horrible person.
42:23You're not a horrible person, Colin.
42:27You are smart.
42:29Right?
42:30You're kind.
42:32You're a leader.
42:34And, okay, I saw the furniture in your house.
42:37Wow.
42:38Talk about talented.
42:40And you listen to me.
42:43You care about what I have to say.
42:47You care about other people, Colin.
42:49Colin, do you know how rare that is?
42:55I like you.
42:57And if I'm being honest, I think you like me, too.
43:02Lauren, you have a fiancé.
43:05I mean, I saw his pictures up in your bedroom.
43:09Your barn room.
43:11Whatever.
43:12You two seem incredibly happy together.
43:15You deserve him.
43:17Alright?
43:18You're awful.
43:19No, you were just pushing me away like you're doing right now.
43:22Lauren, how could I not like you?
43:25Tell me.
43:28You're at the top of the class.
43:31The best catch.
43:33The most beautiful woman in town.
43:35You dedicate your whole life to helping children.
43:38You're smart.
43:40Talented.
43:42You're an absolute boss with a nail gun.
43:45You give back to other people.
43:47And...
43:48You deserve the best.
43:50And Lauren, that's not me.
43:52History has shown that.
43:54It's not me.
43:56You deserve Dane.
43:58I broke up with Dane.
44:01When?
44:03That day that he...
44:05That he brought the crew over and I asked him not to.
44:08Why did you do that, Lauren?
44:10My gut.
44:12And because he never listened to me.
44:15Why didn't you say something sooner?
44:17Because I was so tired of relationships, Colin.
44:23You know?
44:24There was this incredible guy standing right in front of me and...
44:30And I couldn't help but fall for him.
44:40Colin...
44:44I think I'm falling in love with you.
44:55I...
44:56I...
44:57I can't do this.
44:59I'm sorry.
45:00I thought I...
45:01I could, but I can't.
45:24Leave without seeing you.
45:30I can't bear to look in your eyes.
45:36All I see is the road that I didn't choose.
45:44In another lifetime.
45:48In some forgotten dream.
45:50In another lifetime.
45:54Maybe it was meant to be.
46:04In another lifetime.
46:11Sometimes I wonder where I then start.
46:16If I follow this dark angel.
46:25Into the unknown years we planned.
46:30Living ghosts of a life that could have been.
46:41Dancer?
46:43What are you doing here, buddy?
46:46Is Lauren here?
46:48Lauren!
46:51Supposed to run off again.
46:57What do you need?
46:58Yeah, um...
47:00Dancer's actually here at my place.
47:02Sorry about that.
47:03No, no, it's...
47:04It's fine.
47:05You're just supposed to...
47:06Run off again.
47:08Listen, if you want, I could, um...
47:11You know, bring him back to your place.
47:14Could you drop him at my friend Paige's?
47:16At Paige's book?
47:17Yeah.
47:18Yeah.
47:19That's...
47:20That's fine.
47:23Um...
47:24Lauren, listen...
47:26Paige!
47:27Hey!
47:28Dancer!
47:29You've been on your adventures again!
47:30Yes, yes.
47:31I'll keep him until Lauren gets back from teaching.
47:32Thanks.
47:34Paige!
47:35Could you tell Lauren something for me?
47:36Tell Lauren what?
47:37Could you tell Lauren just to get this dog a leash?
47:39Thanks.
47:41Thanks.
47:42Paige...
47:43Could you...
47:44Tell Lauren something for me?
47:45Tell Lauren what?
47:46Could you tell Lauren just to get this dog a leash?
47:50Thanks.
47:51Thanks.
48:03Oh!
48:04I don't have time.
48:34Well, you're not interrupting.
48:37No.
48:38I just thought you were a dog, though.
48:40All right.
48:42What's going on?
48:44You know, calling for a smart guy, you can be pretty dumb sometimes.
48:49Man, you can't blame your dad for everything.
48:51I can blame him for a lot.
48:54Come on.
48:55Just talk to her.
48:57Okay, tell her how you feel.
48:58She doesn't want to talk to me.
49:00She doesn't want to see me.
49:02That ship has sailed, my friend.
49:05Well, that's not necessarily true.
49:07What do you mean?
49:09Building her house.
49:11When you're together, there's like a...
49:13There's a vibe.
49:15There's a vibe?
49:16Yeah, I woke up in high school.
49:17A vibe?
49:18Serious.
49:19It's just my gut, but I think there's still a chance, man.
49:22You don't understand, Ciro.
49:25You won't ever understand.
49:26No, Colin.
49:28You don't understand.
49:31What are you doing?
49:32Big guts.
49:37Sutter!
49:37Hey, buddy.
49:39Hey, listen.
49:40Not your turn to talk.
49:41We've known Lauren's family for, what, 40, 50 years?
49:45I know, Sutter.
49:46I know.
49:47Listen, listen.
49:48You were a teenager when we moved back here from Georgia.
49:51And since then, there's only been one woman.
49:54Only one.
49:56Lauren.
49:56The problem is, you think you're not good enough, but it's not true.
50:02Sutter, what Dad did was...
50:04Listen, shut up.
50:04I'm not talking about Dad.
50:05I'm talking about you.
50:07You're a good man.
50:09You always have been.
50:11I don't need to tell you what Mom and Dad went through.
50:15Listen, hold on.
50:16Mom, she talks more about the good years than the bad years.
50:22With what happened to Mom, I promised her I would never hurt somebody like Dad hurt her.
50:27And you won't.
50:29You won't.
50:29You are not Dad.
50:31Tell me about Lauren.
50:35What?
50:36Well, I can't stop thinking about her, if that's what you mean.
50:40I, uh...
50:42I just want to be with her.
50:48All the time.
50:49I mean, seeing that girl accomplish something, it's something that behold, she gets a smile on her face.
50:57You know, it's...
50:59Sutter?
51:01I can't stop thinking about her.
51:04Well, there she is, teaching a bunch of third graders.
51:06And there's a man on his way to maybe take her away from me forever.
51:10Do you really love her?
51:12All my heart.
51:14Yeah.
51:14Then don't let Dad's behavior stop you from maybe being with her forever.
51:21Can I show you something?
51:23I'll put it up.
51:24I made that.
51:25You made this?
51:26I ain't surprised.
51:27It's what I do.
51:28Wow.
51:29Think she'll like it?
51:30Yeah.
51:30Think it'll fit?
51:36You don't know if you don't try.
51:38You're right.
51:39Nice job.
51:45How's my Lauren?
51:46Dane, what are you doing here?
51:48I came to apologize.
51:50I want to make this work.
51:52Me and you.
51:54Dane, we talked about this.
51:56You were right.
51:57I should have listened to you.
51:59I should never have sent those guys to build your house for you, or sent you that furniture, that Italian marble tile.
52:04Well, it's just my way of taking care of you.
52:06It's just my way of taking care of you.
52:06And yet you took this long to get here.
52:10You chose your job, Dane.
52:12Look, look, I'm here now.
52:15I don't want to make this work.
52:17I am listening.
52:19But it's so much more than that.
52:22You know, after the storm hit, I realized what's important to me.
52:30And I also realized what's important to you.
52:33And those two things just aren't the same.
52:39I love you.
52:41And I loved you.
52:43But your life is all condos, right?
52:47And big city living, and I'm all little kids.
52:50We can make this place work.
52:51We're going to get a place here.
52:53We're going to buy a home, and you're going to design it.
52:56And it's going to be fantastic.
52:57I already have a house here.
52:59I have a home, actually.
53:01A home that I built myself.
53:07I'm sorry, Dane.
53:10No, Lauren, I'm sorry.
53:18Dane.
53:27Lauren.
53:37Colin?
53:39Lauren.
53:42Lauren.
53:44Lauren, I'm so sorry.
53:46I'm sorry for pushing you away five years ago.
53:49Lauren, you're the most amazing woman I've ever met.
53:52Ever since I was a kid, I was always my best when I was with you.
54:01And I'm a better man when I am with you.
54:04Lauren.
54:06I've got to spend the rest of my life with you.
54:10I made you something.
54:13Lauren Christensen?
54:14Would you marry me?
54:21Yes.
54:22Yes, I will.
54:30It's beautiful.
54:32It's gorgeous.
54:38Oh, my gosh.
54:39That was so romantic.
54:40That is the most beautiful ring I've ever seen.
54:44Right?
54:45Here, take a picture.
54:46Oh, shoot.
54:54I think she liked the ring.
54:55Our boy finally did it.
54:59Oh.
55:00Oh.
55:02May I?
55:04Yes, you may.
55:06Oh!
55:07Mm,�장ando.
55:08Nah, no, no, no.
55:08No, no.
55:12Oh.
55:14Oh.
55:17Oh.
55:18Oh.
55:23Oh, my God.
55:31Oh, no.
55:32Oh, my God.
55:32Oh.
55:33Oh, can't.
55:33Oh, my God.
55:34Oh, my God.
55:35Oh, my God.
