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 got him!
01:35Camera is south, every center of the valley. This may be the storm of the century.
01:38Reports of tornadoes touching down, the words are still heading our way.
01:41If you can hear this, take shelter immediately. The time for evacuation is over.
01:46He's like, we'll be here on that.
01:50Um, I'm gonna...
01:54Is that him?
01:55All of you guys in town.
02:03Call him Trump.
02:04I think it's about time for you and me to, uh, get the hay.
02:10Seriously?
02:12Yeah.
02:13No, what I remember, I remember being here for one of your birthday parties.
02:23You know what? I...
02:25I also remember running into you at the, uh, the picnic.
02:29Yeah, about five years ago now.
02:30All right.
02:31All right.
02:32All right.
02:34Everybody ready?
02:35Ready.
02:36Set.
02:37Go!
02:38Inside!
02:39Outside!
02:40Inside!
02:41Inside!
02:42Inside!
02:43Inside!
02:44Go!
02:45Go!
02:46Go!
02:47Go!
02:48Go!
02:49Go!
02:50Finn.
02:51I thought we were gonna win.
03:07Come on.
03:08We are out then.
03:10Today's been really fun.
03:12Yeah.
03:13I have enjoyed losing that race.
03:14I'm just gonna go out on a limb here, but I think this would be really fun to do again next week.
03:16going to be back till 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.
03:34I don't think so.
03:38Lauren, look, I did you a favor.
03:40Believe me, you were a school teacher.
03:44And people would have talked, I promise.
03:47They talked anyway.
03:48No, but the stories would have been much different.
03:52Yeah, but I would not have cared.
03:57Sorry.
04:14Lauren, I'm so sorry.
04:23This is my house.
04:24This 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, get the water off of it, put the mold
04:35sets in.
04:37I guess.
04:38You guess?
04:40No, things are just things, Lauren.
04:44No, but they were my things, though.
04:46Right.
04:47But they weren't you.
04:49They weren't the answer.
04:50They weren't your parents.
04:53I know, you're right.
04:55When I was a little girl, I would sit there and I'd watch my parents fix everything.
05:01And then I grew up and I learned how to do the same.
05:04My dad and I built that barn that kept us safe last night.
05:08And I have watched hours and hours of home rental shows.
05:14I'm going to rebuild this house myself.
05:18Huh?
05:19Yes.
05:21I know I can do it.
05:23So, Lauren, what are you going to do next?
05:29First, I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself.
05:32I know there are plenty of folks out there who are way worse off than I am.
05:36I was actually thinking about that earlier this morning.
05:40I thought about maybe going into town, checking everybody,
05:45checking the damage.
05:48Well, let's go do that.
05:51Yeah, all right.
05:56All right, why don't we throw on a change of clothes?
05:58Yeah, that's what I do.
06:05Collin, I'm sorry about last night.
06:08What about?
06:09It's bringing up the past.
06:11I shouldn't have done that.
06:13I'm sorry for that day at the fair.
06:15Thank you, but you are allowed to date whoever you want.
06:20Believe me, you did dodge a bullet with me, OK?
06:24Being single is kind of my life, I guess, but what about you?
06:29Anyone you're seeing?
06:31Uh, yeah, my boyfriend, Dane.
06:33Well, he's not a fiancé, actually.
06:35Well, kind of.
06:38Kinda?
06:39It's a kind of fiancé.
06:41What's this?
06:44Frida?
06:46Colin?
06:47Lauren?
06:48Hey, Frida.
06:49How are you and Hector doing?
06:51We're good.
06:52Can't say as much for Mayor Wallace.
06:53Did you hear?
06:54No.
06:55What happened?
06:56Heart attack.
06:57He was checking on some people and a tree fell.
07:00Landed on the hood of his car, just like that.
07:03He didn't make it.
07:05There's never been a storm like this recorded in the county's history.
07:08We're all praying that there aren't any more casualties.
07:11I can't believe this.
07:13Um, thank you so much, Frida.
07:17Drop safe.
07:19You too, Colin.
07:20Rose are in bad shape.
07:22Hey, Sutter.
07:23It's Colin.
07:24Yeah, I know.
07:25How are you?
07:26It looked pretty bad up there last night.
07:27Yeah, no, uh, not a scratch.
07:28I'm relieved.
07:29How's Colin?
07:30Mom?
07:31Not a scratch.
07:32His words.
07:33He's fine.
07:34I, um, spent the night at Lauren Christensen's barn.
07:37Excuse me?
07:38You want to explain?
07:39I'm fine, but, um...
07:42Her house was destroyed.
07:45I'm fine, but, um...
07:47Her house was destroyed.
07:50I mean, her house was destroyed in the storm.
07:55That's awful.
07:57Oh, and good of you to take care of her.
07:59Oh, no.
08:00She's actually the one who took care of me.
08:02She actually got me in out of the storm.
08:05Kept me dry.
08:06How did you end up at her place?
08:08I mean, I know you got that property up there next to hers, but...
08:11Hey, uh, Sutter, listen.
08:12I gotta go.
08:13Uh, this is the only line that we have.
08:15Okay, uh, just tell me one thing.
08:17She's still as good looking as I remember?
08:22Better.
08:24You be good to her, Colin.
08:26Yeah, my mom will love her.
08:27I already did.
08:28Later.
08:29See ya.
08:30How did the Shumaks make out?
08:35The road to their barn washed out completely, but...
08:39They got their animals out early, so...
08:41They did.
08:43That's some good news, I guess.
08:46Hey, going back to what I said earlier,
08:49about helping you rebuild your house?
08:52Be no trouble.
08:54It's okay, I can figure it out.
08:56It's not like I think that you need a man's help,
08:59or anything like that.
09:00It's just...
09:01You know what I do for a living, right?
09:03Yes, you make furniture.
09:04I'm a carpenter.
09:06Pretty good carpenter, actually.
09:07And so, helping you with your house?
09:09It'd be no problem.
09:10It's a really nice offer, but no thank you.
09:14The phone's free, so...
09:16I'm going to call my fiancé.
09:29You have Dane?
09:30Hey, it's me.
09:31Lauren!
09:32My assistant's been trying you for hours.
09:34Are you okay?
09:35Yes, I'm fine.
09:37Um, but...
09:38My entire house was destroyed.
09:41And sorry, I would've called earlier, but...
09:43All the power's out, all the phone lines are down.
09:45Your house was destroyed?
09:47But my Lauren's okay.
09:48I'm fine.
09:49I promise.
09:50You should move into my Manhattan condo while I'm still closing with steel.
09:52Then when I'm done, I'll meet you there.
09:53You want me to leave at a time like this?
09:54Dane, I can't do that.
09:55The community needs every single one of us here right now.
09:58Look, I just want you to be safe.
10:01That's sweet.
10:02But I'm going to stay here, and I also want to rebuild my family home myself.
10:07Listen, give me a couple hours.
10:08I'm going to talk to my assistant.
10:09He's going to find you the best crew in the Tri-State area.
10:10And they'll be there this afternoon to start construction.
10:11A crew?
10:12No, no, um, no, no, no, no.
10:14It's way too early for any of that.
10:15You're going to supervise, of course.
10:16David R.
10:17Dane Richards, you have zero listening skills.
10:18My grandparents built that family home.
10:19And I'm going to do the same.
10:20Lauren, Lauren, I'm just trying to help.
10:21Your schoolteacher, you can't be alone.
10:22No.
10:23I can't be alone.
10:24You can't be alone.
10:38David R.
10:40I'm going to be around the street.
10:42I'm going to be around the corner right now.
10:44I'm just trying to help your schoolteacher. You can't build a house myself. I know it takes a team to rebuild a home
10:50But that team starts with me
10:56Hey, I need you in here
11:01Sorry, I was worried
11:03And that is why we need to get people out there now starting to clean up efforts. This is crazy
11:09The council has made a list of places to start Nathan
11:14I
11:16Know you're doing your best with Mayor Wallace gone and all
11:21We need to organize search parties to go out there and find people who need help. I
11:28Just spoke with the people from FEMA less than an hour ago
11:32They need the roads clear so that they can deliver the relief supplies food water medicine right search and rescue is the main priority right now
11:41You said yourself the FEMA was not going to be here for several days
11:44This is not about you Colin. Please sit down Nathan
11:48Given the circumstances. I feel like we just set aside our differences now here
11:52We look out for each other
11:54That's what we do
11:56Okay, so there could be people out there without clean water without power
12:00They could be injured. They could be sick
12:03We've got to have search parties to get out there and find those people
12:07Our fire department is out there right now doing exactly just that great. Well, we can help them
12:14How many firefighters are there? We have five?
12:17Well-trained professionals five
12:20Nathan that's a lot of ground to cover
12:22Then we should split those five up and each one of those firefighters can be in charge of a small search party of volunteers
12:28We could search the entire town in a day a day and a half at max
12:32So we'd have five search parties five
12:36Fine council will radio out to the professionals and if the firefighters agree council will allow
12:42Page oh
12:44I'm so happy to see you. I've been looking everywhere for you. Oh, we tried to get to
13:03I'm so glad you made it through the storm. Okay. Oh, we're fine. We're fine. Hey, how are you and mark? Oh, we just lost the porch and shed
13:14How about your place?
13:16Not as bad as some
13:18My heart goes out to Carolina Santos
13:20Oh, mine, too
13:22Hey
13:23Hey
13:25Was that Colin I saw you waving at just now?
13:27Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's helping out with one of the search and rescue teams. Yeah, I've heard he was helping, but
13:34Why are you waving at each other?
13:36You hate him
13:37No, I don't hate him. Oh, really? I have heard you say the actual words. I hate Colin Tron
13:44I'm just worried about him
13:46You know Paige, I'm worried about everybody
13:48It's dangerous out there. There are live power lines down. There are complete road closures like
13:56So when exactly did the hate stop?
14:00Well, last night we spent the night together in the barn and there's
14:05Tell me everything. No, nothing happens. No, we just got to know each other a little better. That's all
14:13Okay, let's help with the potluck and you are telling me every detail come on
14:36Nothing
14:38useless technology
14:43Help
14:45Help me
14:47Anybody
14:49Help me
14:57Mr. Rodriguez, are you in there?
14:59Yes, I'm here
15:01I got knocked off my wheelchair
15:05My leg is stuck
15:07Stay calm. Yeah, we have the rescue team here. We're doing this to bring and we'll get you out
15:16Bless you
15:18You've been stuck here for hours
15:22All right, we're here now. Okay, we'll have you out shortly
15:25So did you hear?
15:39What the chicken's a little dry, but the mac and cheese is to die for?
15:43Nope. Thank you so much. Thank you. Your boyfriend's a hero
15:46Oh, yeah, things in Australia. What could he have done? No, you're a new boyfriend
15:55I'm an engaged woman
15:57So you officially accepted Dane's proposal then?
16:02Not exactly see
16:05I love Dane
16:08I have no interest in Colin except his friends and besides he made it very clear in the past that he was never interested either
16:14Wait hero
16:17Wait hero
16:19He saved mr. Rodriguez
16:22Hugo fell out of his wheelchair and spent the entire storm on the floor of his bedroom
16:27He was lucky that Colin found him
16:31Wait, is he gonna be okay? Yeah, Joel he's a firefighter
16:35said Colin cleared the debris and carried Hugo out to the team
16:40Joel said if they hadn't split up like Colin suggested
16:45They wouldn't have got to Hugo for a few more days
16:48And who knows what would have happened by then
16:56We have got ourselves a real live hero
17:02Well, if you're not interested, maybe I should ask him out
17:05I think you should stop talking and eat some chicken
17:07I hear it strong
17:37How bad was it out there?
17:54More tough than bad
17:57Why do I feel like you chose the areas that were hardest hit to search?
18:02I guess I should have thought that one through a little bit more
18:07You must be exhausted
18:10Compared to what we did
18:11Answering phones ordering a few supplies
18:14Oh, come on. I saw well-fed children in clean clothes that looked very happy
18:20I know that was all you're doing
18:24So tell me about this fiancee
18:27Dane?
18:30Um, Dane is an architect
18:32He's actually in Australia right now
18:35He's working on a big project and um, and then he'll be back here
18:42Is he a good man?
18:45Yes
18:45Yes, yes, he's very good to me
18:51But
18:53But
18:55Well, when you when you're with the person you're supposed to marry
18:58You have this gut feeling, right?
19:01Right
19:04Unless he isn't
19:04Oh, no, no, no, it's okay
19:09Don't be silly
19:11You're freezing
19:13Just take it
19:15Thank you
19:16You're welcome
19:18You should run for mayor
19:20Because I gave you my jacket?
19:22No
19:23Although I would vote for that guy
19:24The way you corralled the search and rescue team
19:30And how you helped Mr. Rodriguez
19:33It's
19:33Listen, Joel saved Mr. Rodriguez
19:35Okay, I just
19:37Move some things out of the way
19:39That's all
19:40I'm not so sure that Nathan is the person for that
19:45You should think about it
19:46Yeah
19:48I think I'll uh
19:50Leave running this town to better men
19:52Who said that?
19:53Uh, you send whoever said that my way
19:55And I'll give them a good talking to
19:57Oh, really?
19:57Mm-hmm
19:58What would you say?
20:00In under 72 hours
20:03A man who thought I hated him
20:04Hey, you did hate me
20:07Shh, I'm talking
20:08Okay
20:09This man saved my dog
20:13Helped scores of people
20:16And offered to 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 jacket
20:30Because he thought I was cold
20:33You know what?
20:33If you're not cold, I'd be more than happy to take this jacket back
20:35Okay, I would just check
20:36That's fine
20:41Hey, Dane
20:41My beautiful Lauren
20:43How's everything flood-wise this morning?
20:44It was a beautiful day down under
20:46Yeah, we're doing okay
20:49Things are still a little bit of a disaster
20:50But we're all pulling through
20:52That's my girl
20:54So, uh, when are you getting here?
20:56Coming in? Sorry?
20:57Yeah, yeah
20:58When is your project wrapping up so you can come help?
21:00Help? Happy 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, okay?
21:08I don't need money
21:09Dane, I need you here
21:11Dancer, come on
21:30Get down on the phone, will you?
21:33You want to help Tony with the number?
21:35All right
21:35Excuse me
21:37Hello
21:37Hi
21:38What's going on here?
21:39Looks like we're rebuilding somebody'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 this?
21:55Mr. Richards hired us, yes
21:58I need everybody off of my property right now
22:01Excuse me, miss
22:01You have Dane
22:07Dane, what is going on on my property right now?
22:10Lauren, guess what?
22:11I got my assistant to get a great crew
22:13I'm not going to be there any minute now
22:14Oh yeah, they're all working here right now
22:16Great, they said they'd be fast
22:18No, Dane, I told you
22:20I wanted to rebuild my 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 crystal clear to me
22:35And that is that you 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, Lauren?
22:45I...
22:45Like you never listened
22:46That time that I told you I didn't want to go to London
22:49Or that I didn't need that new car
22:51Or that I will never give up being a teacher
22:53Dane, I can't do this anymore
23:03I can't marry you
23:10Lauren?
23:12Lauren?
23:12I know your feelings
23:15At that time..
23:20I know your feelings
23:21I know my feeling
23:21I have managed to
23:27With maybe someone
23:29I know my happiness
23:31Oh yeah
23:31Of your thigh
23:42I can't 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.
24:12Where 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, add 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.
24:57I've heard you go on about a dozen times about building this yourself.
25:01So it's clearly important to you.
25:05Wow.
25:07I agree. Thank you.
25:09Hey, listen, also, I need to apologize about last night.
25:13You know, we almost...
25:15We almost, but we didn't.
25:18Right.
25:18Right? That's the important thing.
25:20Yeah, because, you know, emotions were high.
25:22I don't know.
25:23I guess that just...
25:25Plus, who would have thought?
25:27The sanctuary at night would be that nice, shall we say.
25:33And the stained glass windows were really nice as well.
25:39It won't happen again.
25:42Congrats.
25:43Good call.
25:45So, what's next for you in this house, Miss Lauren?
25:51This house?
25:52Well, 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, right?
26:44I did want to do it myself, though.
26:47Listen, I understand, but Dane's people, they did an amazing job, okay?
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.
27:17Anything 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
27:49that.
27:50Well, 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.
27:58And 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.
28:41In 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.
29:25Hello.
29:28Got you a little lunch?
29:32You're welcome.
29:33So, I have a question for you.
29:38Okay.
29:38Mr. Colin Ladies Man.
29:41How come you haven't found a lady for yourself yet?
29:46Honestly?
29:47Honestly.
29:50My dad.
29:53I remember your dad.
29:55He left a few years back, no?
29:57Yeah.
29:59After he cheated on my mother more than once.
30:02I was the youngest of five boys.
30:05And my mom was, she didn't have the time or the energy to supervise me.
30:11And younger Colin might have taken advantage of that.
30:15But my mom, after taking care of five boys, after cooking dinners and cleaning the house and going through letters from my teachers,
30:22she would actually sit down and tutor me every night.
30:26And it worked.
30:29I got better grades.
30:32Moms, you gotta love them.
30:35Dad's, not so much.
30:38Apparently mine was spending time all over town.
30:43And my mom, she never talked about it.
30:48One night we were at my brother's wedding.
30:52We're sitting there, just the two of us.
30:55And she finally told me everything that he had done.
30:58How badly he had hurt her.
31:01And, uh, that was the night.
31:05That was the night that I promised her I would never be like him.
31:10I would never be my father.
31:13And I might have been the resident ladies' man, as you put it, but I never cheated.
31:19Never.
31:23But you can't spend your whole life pushing people away, though, Colin.
31:26How's it worked so far?
31:30Hey, listen, I want to make a suggestion, okay?
31:32We've made a lot of progress on this house.
31:35Great progress.
31:36Yes, we have.
31:37But we have some pretty big jobs coming up.
31:42Like roofing, electrical, plumbing.
31:46So, with your permission, I have some friends who could, uh, probably help you with that.
31:53We'll get you in your home a little quicker.
31:54Okay, I could be open to that.
31:57Huh?
32:04Lauren, I don't know if you remember any of my old friends, uh, but they just got done
32:08clearing the main road out to the highway.
32:09We got Dev.
32:11Oh.
32:11We got Sean and Siro.
32:14Yeah, yeah, Dev, good to see you again.
32:16All right, how have you been?
32:17Hey, take it easy.
32:18She's got a fiance, you know.
32:19I'm just saying hi.
32:21Guys, this means so much to me, honestly.
32:23Thank you so, so much.
32:25Now, to tell Siro what shingles to lift first, we'll go ahead and get started.
32:29Come on, stay steady as the beatings of my love.
32:38Oh, I won't ever want to waver from your driftwood floating up onto the shore.
32:47Oh, I won't ever want to get started.
32:48Oh, I won't ever want to do this.
32:50Oh, I won't ever want to go ahead and get started.
32:51You stole my heart.
33:10What's up?
33:11Hey.
33:13So, um, you and Colin?
33:16We're friends. What? Okay, I have a fiancé.
33:24Oh, okay.
33:28Why?
33:29I just, you know, I thought I was getting... a vibe.
33:37No. No vibe.
33:40Okay. No vibe.
33:43Why, did you... did you pick up on a vibe or something?
33:49This is grade school. Should I pass a note for you during math class?
33:58Well, Colin kind of likes you.
34:04Really?
34:05Hmm? And you kind of like him?
34:11Yeah. I really like Colin as a friend.
34:15Seriously, he's been amazing to me throughout this whole storm situation.
34:19No.
34:24As a little kid, you liked him.
34:27As a big kid, you liked him.
34:29When you moved to Georgia, you liked him.
34:32And when he moved back, no surprises there, you liked him.
34:40I've got a fiancé.
34:43Okay, Lauren.
34:50Thanks so much, you guys!
34:52Thank you!
34:58Wow.
35:00I cannot believe how much progress we've made on this house.
35:03Well, the Amish can build a barn in a day, so...
35:06by that standard, we're kind of far behind schedule.
35:08No, but...
35:11seriously, your friends are really awesome.
35:14That zero can really lift heavy things.
35:18Yeah, they're all right, I guess.
35:20They're all right, and you're all right.
35:22Just take credit for what an awesome friend you've been.
35:27Friend, huh?
35:31Yes, you are helping me to rebuild my house.
35:34Well, I think I'm going to spend the night here tonight.
35:38There's no interior of the house, how are you going to do that?
35:41No, no, no, not in the house, in the barn.
35:43Plus, the house has running water, gas, everything I need.
35:47By yourself in the barn?
35:49No, with Dancer.
35:51All right, pup.
35:53All right, well, I'll be staying the night at my place,
35:55so, you know, if you ever needed a place to crash...
36:00Are you sure I'll spend the night with me?
36:01No.
36:04I'm just letting you know,
36:06if you didn't feel like staying at the barn by yourself,
36:08you have a place, so...
36:10Well, that's sweet of you, but...
36:12I'm a big girl, I got this.
36:14Just offering as a friend.
36:16Right, because that's what we are.
36:18Exactly. Friends.
36:24Okay, well, I'm going to wash up at the house,
36:27and then head to the barn.
36:28Yeah, great, I'm going to get in the truck,
36:30and head back to the cabin.
36:32All right, you can take...
36:34Oh, sure.
36:36All right, well, uh...
36:38Good night, friend.
36:40Good night.
36:42Friend.
36:43Good night.
36:44Good night.
36:57Good night.
37:00Friends.
37:19Friends.
37:21Friends!
37:23Friends!
37:25Colin, she is asleep in a barn by herself.
37:32What would your mother think if she knew this?
37:35You know what? He's not even that good looking.
37:38No matter how many times Ciro thinks he catches me checking him out.
37:42He's not.
37:44He's so amazing, though. He just doesn't see it.
37:48He saved entire families out there.
37:55He helped you rebuild my house.
38:03Friends, my friends.
38:10That's it.
38:12Lauren!
38:25Lauren!
38:26Lauren!
38:34Lauren?
38:35Hello?
38:44Hey, Colin. It's me. It'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. I'm at your place.
38:56What are you doing there?
38:57I, uh, I wasn't worried about you.
39:02Yeah.
39:03You started coming?
39:05Check on you.
39:06What are you doing at my place?
39:07I got scared.
39:09Uh, 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.
39:17You're at my place, I'm at your place.
39:22Yeah, that's pretty funny.
39:24Why don't you just, why don't you just crash at my place tonight, and I'll stay here.
39:30Yeah, no, that, um, that sounds great.
39:34Very reasonable.
39:35Very reasonable.
39:36Yeah.
39:37Um, the, um, the key to the, the front door is there on the window seal.
39:43We'll all have a big laugh about this tomorrow, Lauren.
39:46I know.
39:47Okay, goodnight, Colin.
39:49It's my sleep, Lauren.
40:05Wow.
40:06I remember this.
40:32Who's got a fiancé?
40:47You can't do this.
40:49AIM OUTTINUES
41:07Dancer?
41:09Just you, buddy?
41:18What are you doing, Colin?
41:21Sleeping in a pink frilly bed.
41:23That's what you're doing.
41:41Lauren?
41:42What are you doing here?
41:45I came here to talk to you.
41:46Okay. Is everything all right?
41:51No, actually, it's not.
41:53Okay.
41:56I...
41:56I really like you, Colin.
42:00I really like you.
42:02And actually, I came to apologize to you, too,
42:05for hating you all of those years after that stupid day at the picnic.
42:11Because 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.
42:25You're not a horrible person, Colin.
42:29You are smart.
42:31Right?
42:31You're kind.
42:33You're a leader.
42:35And, okay, I saw the furniture in your house.
42:38Wow.
42:39Talk about talented.
42:40And you listen to me.
42:41And you listen to me.
42:44You care about what I have to say.
42:48You care about other people, Colin.
42:50Do you know how rare that is?
42:51I like you.
42:58And if I'm being honest, I think you like me, too.
43:03Lauren, you have a fiancé.
43:06I mean, I saw his pictures up in your bedroom.
43:09Your barn room.
43:11Whatever.
43:11You two seem incredibly happy together.
43:15I mean, you deserve him.
43:18All right?
43:18Because I was awful.
43:20No, you were just pushing me away like you're doing right now.
43:23Lauren, how could I not like you?
43:26Tell me.
43:27You're at the top of the class.
43:32The best catch.
43:33The most beautiful woman in town.
43:35You dedicate your whole life to helping children.
43:39You're smart.
43:40Talented.
43:42You're an absolute boss with a nail gun.
43:45You give back to other people.
43:47And you deserve the best.
43:50And, Lauren, that's not me.
43:52History has shown that it's not me.
43:55You deserve Dane.
43:58I broke up with Dane.
44:01When?
44:03That day that 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 don't you say something sooner?
44:17Because I was so tired of relationships, Colin.
44:20You know, and then there's this incredible guy standing right in front of me.
44:28And I couldn't help but fall for him.
44:41Colin.
44:41I think I'm falling in love with you.
44:55I can't do this.
45:00I'm sorry.
45:00I thought I could.
45:02But I can't.
45:02Don't want to do something I can't take back.
45:23Don't want to leave without seeing you.
45:28I can't bear to look in your eyes.
45:36All I see is the road that I didn't choose.
45:42In another lifetime, in some forgotten dream.
45:51In another lifetime, maybe it was meant to be.
46:04In another lifetime.
46:07Sometimes I wonder where I've been dark.
46:18If I follow this dark angel.
46:25Into the unknown years we've planned.
46:30Living ghosts of a life that could have been.
46:37In another lifetime.
46:38In another lifetime.
46:38In another lifetime.
46:42Dancer?
46:44What 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.
47:03It's fine.
47:04You're just supposed to run off again.
47:06Um, listen, if you want, I could, um, you know, bring him back to your place.
47:14Could you drop him at my friend Paige's?
47:17Paige's book, yeah.
47:18Yeah, that's fine.
47:23Um, Lauren, listen.
47:33Paige, hey.
47:35Dancer.
47:35You've been on your adventures again.
47:38Yes, yes.
47:39I'll keep him until Lauren gets back from teaching.
47:41Thanks.
47:43Paige, could you tell Lauren something for me?
47:47Tell Lauren what?
47:49Could you tell Lauren just to get this dog a leash?
47:52Thanks.
47:53Oh, God.
48:08Lord.
48:12Oh, God.
48:17Oh.
48:18Come answer, I don't have time.
48:35Both of my interrupting?
48:37No.
48:38Just 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.
48:48Man, you can't blame your dad for everything.
48:52I 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.
49:08What 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.
49:18It'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?
49:34Big guts.
49:37Sutter!
49:38Hey, buddy.
49:39Hey, listen.
49:40Not your turn to talk.
49:41We've known Lauren's family for what?
49:4340, 50 years?
49:45I know, Sutter.
49:46I'm not doing it.
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.
49:57The problem is, you think you're not good enough.
50:00But it's not true.
50:02Sutter, what dad did was...
50:03Listen, I'm not talking about dad.
50:05I'm talking about you.
50:07You're a good man.
50:09You always have been.
50:12I 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.
50:20With what happened to mom, I promised her I would never hurt somebody like dad hurt her.
50:27And you won't.
50:28You won't.
50:29You are not dad.
50:34Tell 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, I just want to be with her.
50:48All the time.
50:49I mean, seeing, seeing that girl accomplish something, it's...
50:53Something to behold, she gets this smile on her face.
50:57You know, it's...
50:58Sutter, I 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.
51:15Then 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'm always surprised.
51:27It's what I do.
51:28Wow.
51:29Think she'll like it?
51:30Yeah.
51:31Think 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?
51:47Dane, what are you doing here?
51:48I came to apologize.
51:50I want to make this work.
51:52Me and you.
51:53Dane, 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
52:03or that Italian marble tile.
52:05It's just my way of taking care of you.
52:07And yet you took this long to get here.
52:10You chose your job, Dane.
52:13Look.
52:13Look, I'm here now.
52:15I don't want to make this work.
52:16Look, I 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.
52:37I love you.
52:41And I loved you.
52:43But your life is all condos.
52:46Right?
52:47And big city living.
52:48And 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.
52:55And you're going to design it.
52:56And it's going to be fantastic.
52:58I already have a house here.
52:59I have a home, actually.
53:02A home that I built myself.
53:07I'm sorry, Dane.
53:10No, Lauren, I'm sorry.
53:16I'm sorry.
53:30I'm sorry.
53:35Lauren!
53:36Colin?
53:37Lauren.
53:38Lauren.
53:39Lauren, I'm so sorry.
53:42I'm sorry for pushing you away five years ago.
53:48Lauren, you're the most amazing woman I've ever met.
53:54Ever since I was a kid, I was always my best when I was with you.
54:02I'm a better man when I am with you, Lauren.
54:06I've got to spend the rest of my life with you.
54:10I made you something.
54:13Lauren Christensen?
54:16Would you marry me?
54:21Yes.
54:22Yes, I will.
54:25Oh my gosh, that was so romantic.
54:40That is the most beautiful ring I've ever seen.
54:44Right?
54:45Here, take a picture.
54:46Oh, shoot.
54:47I think she liked the ring.
54:53Our boy finally did it.
54:56Hello?
54:57May I?
54:58Yes, you may.
54:59Oh!
55:00Hello?
55:01Oh, it's so good.
55:02May I?
55:03Yes, you may.
55:04Oh!
55:05Oh!
55:06Oh!
55:07Oh!
55:08Oh!
55:09Oh!
55:10Oh!
55:11Oh!
55:12Oh!
55:13Oh!
55:14Oh!
