Transcript
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!
01:30The camera is out there in the center of the valley. This may be the storm of the century.
01:38Reports of tornadoes touching down towards still heading our way.
01:41If you can hear this, take shelter immediately. The time for evacuation is over.
01:46It's like we'll be here all night.
01:49Um, I'm gonna...
01:54Right here?
01:56All the guys in town.
02:02I'm calling the troll.
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.
02:22You know what? I...
02:24I also remember running into you at the, uh, the picnic.
02:28Yeah, about five years ago now.
02:30All right.
02:31All right.
02:32All right.
02:33Everybody ready?
02:34Ready.
02:35Set.
02:36Go!
02:37Inside!
02:38Outside!
02:39Inside!
02:40Inside!
02:41Inside!
02:42Inside!
02:43Inside!
02:44Go!
02:45Go!
02:46Go!
02:47Go!
02:48Go!
02:49Go!
02:50Go!
02:51Go!
02:52Go!
02:53Go!
02:54Go!
02:55Now, today's been really fun.
02:57Yeah.
02:58I've even enjoyed losing that race.
03:01So...
03:07I'm just going to go out on a limb here, but I think this would be really fun to do again
03:12next week.
03:15The fair's not going to be back till the end of the month.
03:18Oh, I know, not the fair.
03:20Oh, I just meant coffee or a movie or something.
03:26I'll get the tickets when you 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, and 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.
04:24This is where I grew up.
04:26Like, all of my memories are here.
04:28Lorna, a lot of this stuff isn't ruined.
04:30You know, you just dry it out, take the water off of it, the mold sets in.
04:35I guess.
04:37You guess?
04:38No, things are just things, Lauren.
04:42No, but they were my things, though.
04:45Right.
04:46But they weren't you.
04:49They weren't the dancer.
04:50They weren't your parents.
04:53I know, you're right.
04:54When I was a little girl, I would sit there, and I'd watch my parents fix everything.
05:00And then I grew up, and I learned how to do the same.
05:03My 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.
05:18Yeah?
05:19Yes.
05:21I know I can do it.
05:23So, Lauren, what are you going to do next?
05:25First, 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, check the damage.
05:48Well, let's go do that.
05:51Yeah.
05:52All right.
05:55All right, why don't we throw on a change of clothes?
05:58Yeah, good idea.
06:05Colin, I'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 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.
06:23Okay?
06:23Being single is kind of my lot in life, I guess.
06:26But what about you?
06:29Anyone you're seeing?
06:31Uh, yeah, my boyfriend, Dane.
06:34Well, he's not a fiancé, actually.
06:36Well, kind of.
06:38Kind of?
06:40It's a kind of fiancé.
06:43What's this?
06:44Frida?
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 in a tree fell.
07:01Landed on the hood of his car, just like that.
07:04He didn't make it.
07:05There's never been a storm like this recorded in the county's history.
07:09We're all praying that there aren't any more casualties.
07:12I can't believe this.
07:14Um, thank you so much, Frida.
07:18Drop safe.
07:19You too, Colin.
07:20Rose are in bad shape.
07:21Hey, Sutter.
07:30It's Colin.
07:31Yeah, I know.
07:31How are you?
07:32It, uh, looked pretty bad up there last night.
07:34Yeah, no, uh, not a scratch.
07:36I'm relieved.
07:37How's Colin?
07:37Mom, not a scratch.
07:39His words.
07:39He's fine.
07:41I, um, I spent the night at Lauren Christensen's barn.
07:45Excuse me?
07:47You want to explain?
07:48Uh, I'm fine, but, um, her house was destroyed in the storm.
07:57That's awful.
07:58Oh, and good of you to take care of her.
08:00Oh, no.
08:01She's actually the one who took care of me.
08:03She actually got me in out of the storm, kept me dry.
08:07How did you end up at her place?
08:09I mean, I know you got that property up there next to hers, but...
08:11Hey, uh, Sutter, listen.
08:13I gotta go.
08:13Uh, this is the only line that we have.
08:16Okay, uh, just tell me one thing.
08:18She's still as good looking as I remember?
08:22Better.
08:25You'd be good to her, Colin.
08:26Yeah, no, Mom, I love her.
08:28I already did.
08:29Later.
08:30See ya.
08:33So, how did the Shumaks make out?
08:35The road to their barn washed out completely, but they got their animals out early, so...
08:41They did.
08:41That's some good news, I guess.
08:47Hey, going back to what I said earlier about helping you rebuild your house, it'd be no
08:53trouble.
08:54It's okay, I can figure it out.
08:56It's not like I think that you need a man's help or anything like that, it's just, you
09:02know what I do for a living, right?
09:03Yes, you make furniture.
09:05I'm a carpenter.
09:06Pretty good carpenter, actually.
09:08And so, helping you with your house, it'd be no problem.
09:11It's a really nice offer, but no thank you.
09:15The phone's free, so I'm going to call my fiance.
09:18You have Dane?
09:30Hey, it's me.
09:32Lauren, my assistant's been trying you for hours.
09:34Are you okay?
09:35Yes, I'm fine.
09:38Um, but my entire house was destroyed.
09:42And sorry, I would have called earlier, but all of the power's out, all the phone lines
09:46are down.
09:46Your house was destroyed?
09:52But my Lauren's okay.
09:54I'm fine.
09:55I promise.
09:56You should move into my Manhattan condo while I'm still closing with steel.
09:59Then when I'm done, I'll meet you there.
10:00You want me to leave at a time like this?
10:03Dane, I can't do that.
10:04The community needs every single one of us here, right?
10:07How?
10:08Look, I just want you to be safe.
10:12That's sweet.
10:13But I'm going to stay here, and I also want to rebuild my family home myself.
10:21Listen, give me a couple hours.
10:23I'm going to talk to my assistant.
10:24He's going to find you the best crew in the tri-state area.
10:27They'll be there this afternoon to start construction.
10:29A crew?
10:30No, no, no, no, it's way too early for any of that.
10:33You're going to supervise, of course.
10:36Dane Richards, you have zero listening skills.
10:39My grandparents built that family home, and I'm going to do the same.
10:43Lauren, Lauren, I'm just trying to help.
10:45You're a schoolteacher.
10:46You can't build house by yourself.
10:47I know it takes a team to rebuild a home, but that team starts with me.
10:56Hey, I need you in here.
10:59Excuse me?
11:01Sorry, I was rude.
11:03And that is why we need to get people out there now, starting the cleanup efforts.
11:07This is crazy.
11:08The council has made a list of places to start.
11:12Nathan, I know you're doing your best with Mayor Wallace, gone and all, but we need to
11:22organize search parties to go out there and find the people who need help.
11:28I just 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.
11:35Food, water, medicine.
11:37Right, but search and rescue is the main priority right now.
11:41You said to yourself that FEMA was not going to be here for several days.
11:44This is not about you, Colin.
11:46Please sit down.
11:47Nathan, given the circumstances, I feel like we just set aside our differences.
11:52Now here, we look out for each other.
11:55That's what we do.
11:57You guys said, there are going to be people out there without clean water, without power.
12:00They could be injured.
12:01They could be sick.
12:03We've got to have search parties to get out there and find those people.
12:06Sure.
12:07Our fire department is out there right now doing exactly just that.
12:12Great.
12:13Well, we could help them.
12:14How many firefighters are there?
12:15We have five well-trained professionals.
12:19Five.
12:20Nathan, that's a lot of ground to cover.
12:23And we should split those five up.
12:25And each one of those firefighters can be in charge of a small search party of volunteers.
12:29We could search the entire town in a day, a day and a half at max.
12:32So we'd have five search parties?
12:35Five?
12:36Fine.
12:37The council will radio out to the professionals.
12:40And if the firefighters agree, the council will allow it.
12:42Page.
12:44Oh, I'm so happy to see you.
13:00I've been looking everywhere for you.
13:02Oh, we tried to get to you.
13:04I'm so glad you two made it through the storm okay.
13:07Oh, we're fine.
13:08We're fine.
13:09Hey, how are you and Mark?
13:10Oh, we just lost the porch and the shed.
13:12How about your place?
13:16Not as bad as some.
13:18You know, my heart goes out to Carolina Santos.
13:20Oh, mine too.
13:23Hey.
13:24Oh, thank you so much.
13:25Was that Colin I saw you waving at just now?
13:27Oh, yeah.
13:28Yeah, he's helping out with one of the search and rescue teams.
13:31Yeah, I heard he was helping, but...
13:34Why are you waving at each other?
13:36You hate him.
13:37No, I don't hate him.
13:39Oh, really?
13:39I have heard you say the actual words.
13:42I hate Colin Tron.
13:44I'm just worried about him.
13:47You know, Page, I'm worried about everybody.
13:49It's dangerous out there.
13:51There are live power lines down.
13:52There are complete road closures.
13:54Like...
13:55So when exactly did the hate stop?
14:00Well, last night, we spent the night together in the barn and...
14:04The barn?
14:05Tell me everything.
14:07No, nothing happens.
14:09No, we...
14:10We just got to know each other a little better.
14:12That's all.
14:14Okay, let's help with the potluck.
14:17And you are telling me every detail.
14:20Come on.
14:21Come on.
14:21Nothing.
14:22Nothing.
14:22Useless technology.
14:42Help!
14:43Help me!
14:46Help me!
14:47Anybody!
14:48Help me!
14:49Help me!
14:56Mr. Rodriguez, are you in there?
14:58Yes!
14:59I'm here!
15:00I got knocked off my wheelchair!
15:03My leg is stuck!
15:04Say calm.
15:05Yeah.
15:06We have the rescue team here.
15:07We're doing this to bring him.
15:08We'll get you out.
15:09Hey!
15:10Hey!
15:11Bless you!
15:12You've been stuck here for hours.
15:14All right, we're here now.
15:15Okay, we'll have you out shortly.
15:16Congratulations.
15:17Mm-hmm.
15:18Mm-hmm.
15:19Bless you!
15:20You've been stuck here for hours.
15:21Help!
15:22Help!
15:23All right.
15:24We're here now.
15:25Okay, we'll have you out shortly.
15:27Mm-hmm.
15:31So, did you hear?
15:38What, the chicken's a little dry, but the mac and cheese is to die for?
15:40The chicken's a little dry, but the mac and cheese is to die for?
15:43Nope.
15:43Thank you so much.
15:45Your boyfriend's a hero.
15:48Oh, 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 Dane's proposal, then?
16:02Not exactly.
16:03See?
16:05I love Dane.
16:06I have no interest in Colin except his friends, and besides, he made it very clear in the
16:12past that he was never interested either.
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 going to be okay?
16:32Yeah.
16:33Joel, he's a firefighter, said Colin cleared the debris and carried Hugo out to the team.
16:40Joel said, if they hadn't split up like Colin suggested, they wouldn't have got to Hugo
16:47for a few more days.
16:49And who knows what would have happened by then.
16:51We have got ourselves a real, live hero.
17:02Well, if you're not interested, maybe I should ask you about it.
17:05I think you should stop talking and eat some chicken.
17:08I hear it's wrong.
17:10I think he's a great guy.
17:12Can't speak of it.
17:12I'm really good.
17:14Don't be heard.
17:19Stayvidens.
17:20Bye, Have a great day.
17:24Have a good day.
17:28Bye, Have a great day.
17:30Bye, Bye.
17:34Bye, Bye, Bye.
17:36Bye, Bye.
17:37Bye, Bye, Bye.
17:39How 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.
18:09Compared to what we did.
18:11Answering phones, ordering a few supplies.
18:15Oh, come on.
18:16I saw well-fed children in clean clothes that looked very happy.
18:20I know that was all you're doing.
18:23So, tell me about this fiancée.
18:27Dane?
18:30Um, Dane is an architect.
18:33He's actually in Australia right now.
18:35He's working on a big project, and then he'll be back here.
18:39Is he a good man?
18:45Yes.
18:46Yes, he's very good to me.
18:52But...
18:52Well, when you're with the person you're supposed to marry, you have this gut feeling, right?
19:01Right.
19:04Unless he isn't.
19:08Oh, no, no, no. It's okay.
19:09Don't be silly.
19:11You're freezing.
19:13Just take it.
19:16You're welcome.
19:17You should run for mayor.
19:20Because I gave you my jacket?
19:22No.
19:23Although I would vote for that guy.
19:25The way you corralled the search and rescue team.
19:28And how you helped Mr. Rodriguez, it's...
19:33Listen, Joel saved Mr. Rodriguez, okay?
19:36I just moved 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.
19:46I think I'll, uh, leave running this town to better men.
19:52Who said that?
19:53You send whoever said that my way, and I'll give them a good talking to.
19:57Oh, really?
19:58Mm-hmm.
19:58What would you say?
20:00In under 72 hours, a man who thought I hated him...
20:05Hey, you did hate me.
20:07Shh, I'm talking.
20:09Okay.
20:09This man saved my dog, helped scores of people, and 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 because 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.
20:37That's fine.
20:39Hey, Dane.
20:42My beautiful Lauren.
20:43How's everything flood-wise this morning?
20:45It was a beautiful day down under.
20:46Yeah, we're doing okay.
20:48It's...
20:49Things are still a little bit of a disaster, but we're all pulling through.
20:52That's my girl.
20:54So, uh, when are you getting here?
20:56Coming in?
20:56Sorry?
20:57Yeah, yeah.
20:58When is your project wrapping up so 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, okay?
21:08I don't need money.
21:09Dane, I need you here.
21:25Dancer, come on.
21:26Come on.
21:30Get Dan on the phone, will you?
21:31You want to help Tony with the lumber?
21:35All right, you got it.
21:36Excuse me.
21:37Hello.
21:37Hi.
21:38What's going on here?
21:40Looks like we're rebuilding somebody's home.
21:42Yes, this is my house.
21:44Ah, you must be Lauren Richards.
21:47It'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?
22:06You have Dane.
22:08Dane, what is going on on my property right 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.
22:14No, yeah.
22:15They'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 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.
22:39All my thoughts, all my feelings have been completely second to yours.
22:43What?
22:43Lauren, I...
22:45You feel like 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?
23:12Lauren?
23:23In my moment of weakness, I need something to free this.
23:45Heaviness on my heart that I can't shame.
23:50I still carry it with me.
23:59Feeling like I'm unworthy.
24:04And the thing I need most is the hardest to take.
24:09Where the shadows grow tall
24:17And your back's up against the wall
24:23In this moment it's clear
24:27In the darkest of times
24:32Love begins here
24:34You know, you really should get that dog a leash.
24:39Yeah, well...
24:40Add it to the list.
24:43Holy cow.
24:44Lauren, 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
24:59about building this yourself.
25:01So it's clearly important to you.
25:02Wow.
25:07I agree.
25:09Hey, listen.
25:09Also, I need to apologize
25:11about last night.
25:13You know, we, um...
25:14We almost...
25:15We almost, but we didn't.
25:18Right.
25:18Right?
25:19That'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?
25:26The sanctuary, at night, would be that nice, shall we say.
25:34And 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
25:57to help me lift some heavy furniture.
26:00I guess that's me.
26:02All right, just a few feet back there.
26:04Have it to your right.
26:05Right.
26:05And we'll just go right to that wall.
26:10Okay, right here?
26:11Yeah.
26:14Amazing.
26:17Okay, I just need your help with this trunk over here.
26:21One or two things, huh?
26:22Yeah.
26:35You okay?
26:40Yeah.
26:41Oh, who doesn't want a chance to remodel, right?
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.
26:56They put up the perimeter wall, so you can completely design the layout.
26:59I mean, you can move the kitchen from over here to right here,
27:04get better sunlight during the day.
27:06Right here, you could add a little breakfast nook.
27:09And this, if you extend the mudroom out a little bit,
27:13you 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, though.
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.
27:36Yeah, no.
27:37I 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.
27:48And I'd like to embrace that.
27:50Well, I'm going back there tonight myself.
27:52So 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.
28:00Here, you have no running water.
28:02You 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.
28:18Here in the morning
28:22We're not the same
28:25Well, I got the feeling
28:29That we're going to change
28:32And to keep it inside
28:36Deep in our hearts
28:39With only one lifetime
28:42Oh, what you're going to claim to?
28:46In this world, in this life
28:50You need someone to hold you
28:53To stay young and stay free
28:56In this world, in this life
29:03You need someone to love you
29:05This is why a good thing feels for
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
29:25Got your little lunch?
29:31Thank you
29:32You're welcome
29:33So, I have a question for you
29:37Okay
29:38Mr. Colin Ladiesman
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
30:09Or 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
30:19And 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
30:45My mom, she 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
31:06That I promised her
31:07I would never be like him
31:09I would never be my father
31:11And I might have been
31:14The 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
31:31I want to make a suggestion
31:31Okay
31:32We've made a lot of progress
31:33On this house
31:34Great progress
31:36Yes we have
31:37But
31:38We have some
31:39Pretty big jobs coming up
31:41Like roofing
31:42Electrical
31:44Plumbing
31:45So
31:47With your
31:48Permission
31:48I have some friends
31:51Who could
31:51Probably help you
31:52With that
31:52And get you in your home
31:53A little quicker
31:54Okay
31:56I could be open to that
31:57Huh?
31:59Lauren
32:04I don't know if you remember
32:06Any of my old friends
32:07But they just got done
32:08Clearing 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
32:15Good 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
32:23Honestly
32:23Thank you so so much
32:25Now
32:25I'll tell Siro
32:26What shingles to lift first
32:28We'll go ahead and get started
32:29Come on
32:34Stay
32:35Steady as the beating
32:37From my love
32:38Won't
32:39Ever
32:40Won't
32:41Wave
32:41From your drift
32:43Would
32:44Floating up
32:45Onto
32:46The shore
32:47Oh
32:48Oh
32:49Either or out of the woods
32:53You stole my heart
33:06What's up?
33:12Hey!
33:14So, um, you and Colin?
33:19We're friends
33:21What?
33:22Okay, I have a fiancé
33:24Oh, okay
33:26Why?
33:30I just, you know
33:31I thought I was getting
33:33A vibe
33:36No
33:38No vibe
33:39Okay
33:41No vibe
33:42Why, did you
33:46Did you pick up on a vibe or something?
33:49What is this grade school?
33:52Should I pass a note for you during math class?
33:58Well, Colin kind of likes you
34:00Really?
34:06And you kind of like him
34:08Yeah
34:11I really like Colin as a friend
34:14Seriously, he's been amazing to me throughout this whole storm situation
34:19What is this grade school situation?
34:23No
34:24As a little kid, you liked him
34:26As a big kid, you liked him
34:28When you moved to Georgia, you liked him
34:30And when he moved back, no surprises there, you liked him
34:37What did he do?
34:40I've got a fiancé
34:42Okay, Lauren
34:44Thanks so much, you guys
34:52Thank you
34:53Wow
34:58I cannot believe how much progress we've made on this house
35:02Well
35:03The Amish can build a barn in a day
35:05So
35:05By that standard, we're kind of far behind schedule
35:08No, but
35:11Seriously, your friends are really awesome
35:13That zero can really lift heavy things
35:17Yeah, they're all right, I guess
35:19They're all right, and you're all right
35:22Just take credit for what an awesome friend you've been
35:24Friend, 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, not in the house, in the barn
35:43Plus, the house has running water, gas, everything I need
35:46By yourself in the barn?
35:49No, with Dancer
35:50All right, Pop
35:51All right, well
35:53I'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?
36:03No
36:03I'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
36:11I'm a big girl, I got this
36:13Just offering as a friend
36:16Right, because that's what we are
36:17Exactly
36:18Friends
36:19Okay, well, I'm going to wash up at the house
36:27And then head to the barn
36:28Yeah, great
36:29I'm going to get in the truck and head back to the cabin
36:31All right
36:32You can take
36:33Oh, sure
36:34This
36:35Thanks
36:35All right, well
36:37Good night, friend
36:39Good night
36:40Friend
36:43How are you going to get in the car?
37:01No
37:02Your number
37:03What?
37:04You're going to get in the race
37:04My number
37:05I've got some
37:06I've got some
37:06My number
37:08You're going to get in the car
37:08You're going to get in the car
37:09You're going to get in the car
37:10Friends.
37:21Friends.
37:23Friends!
37:26Colin, 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 Ciro 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.
37:55He helped rebuild my house.
38:03Friends, my fight.
38:08That's it.
38:11That's it.
38:23Lauren!
38:25Lauren!
38:34Lauren?
38:35Lauren?
38:44Hello?
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 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 turns out it is.
39:17Well.
39:17You'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.
39:35Very reasonable.
39:36Yeah.
39:36Um, 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.
39:48Okay, good night, Colin.
39:50It's my sleep, Lauren.
39:50Wow.
40:11Wow.
40:20I remember this.
40:41Who's got a fiancé?
40:46You can't do this.
40:50What are you doing, Colin?
41:20Sleeping in a pink frilly bed.
41:23That's what you're doing.
41:27Lauren?
41:42What are you doing here?
41:43I came here to talk to you.
41:46Okay.
41:49Is everything all right?
41:51No, actually, it's not.
41:53Okay.
41:55I...
41:56I really like you, Colin.
41:58I, I really like you.
42:02And, actually, I came to apologize to you, too, for hating you all of those years after that stupid day at the picnic.
42:10Because I was just embarrassed.
42:11Because I was just embarrassed, and I was really insecure, and 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.
42:24You're not a horrible person, Colin.
42:29You are smart.
42:31Right?
42:31You're kind.
42:33You're a leader.
42:34And, okay, I saw the furniture in your house.
42:38Wow.
42:39Talk about talented.
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.
42:57And 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.
43:12You two seem incredibly happy together.
43:15You deserve him.
43:18All right?
43:18Because I was awful.
43:19No, you were just pushing me away, like you're doing right now.
43:23Lauren, how could I not like you?
43:26Tell me.
43:28You'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.
43:41You're an absolute boss with a nail gun.
43:45You give back to other people, and...
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?
44:04That day that he...
44:05That he brought the crew over, and I asked him not to.
44:07Why 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.
44:23You know?
44:24And then there's this incredible guy standing right in front of me, and...
44:28And...
44:29And I couldn't help but fall for him.
44:41Colin...
44:41I...
44:42I think I'm falling in love with you.
44:46I can't do this.
45:00I'm sorry.
45:00I thought I could, but I can't.
45:02Don't want to do something I can't take back.
45:22Don't want to leave 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.
45:42In 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'd end up.
46:18If I follow this dark angel.
46:25Into the unknown years we planned.
46:30Living ghosts of a life that could have been.
46:37What are you doing here, buddy?
46:46Is Lauren here?
46:48Lauren!
46:51It's a runoff again.
46:57What do you need?
46:58Yeah, um...
46:59Dancer's actually here at my place.
47:02Sorry about that.
47:03No, no, it's fine.
47:04You're just supposed to run off again.
47:08Um...
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?
47:17Paige's book?
47:18Yeah.
47:18Yeah.
47:19That's...
47:20That's fine.
47:24Um...
47:25Lauren, listen...
47:33Paige!
47:34Hey.
47:35Dancer!
47:36You'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?
47:51Thanks.
47:53Thanks.
48:03Ooh!
48:04Oh!
48:04What?
48:29Come in sir, I don't have time.
48:34Well, you're not interrupting.
48:37No, I just thought you were a dog though.
48:40Alright.
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.
48:51I can blame him for a lot.
48:54Come on, just talk to her, okay? 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.
49:10When you're together, there's like a...
49:13There's a vibe.
49:15There's a vibe?
49:16Yeah, Wogan High School, a vibe?
49:18Serious.
49:19It's just my gut, but I think there's still a chance, man.
49:22You don't understand, Ciro.
49:24You won't ever understand.
49:26No, Colin.
49:27You don't understand.
49:31What are you doing?
49:34Big guns.
49:36Sutter!
49:37Hey, buddy.
49:38Uh, I...
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 know 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.
50:01Sutter, what Dad did was...
50:03Listen, 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.
50:14Listen, hold on.
50:15Mom?
50:16Huh.
50:17She 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.
50:28You won't.
50:29You are not Dad.
50:34Tell me about Lauren.
50:35What?
50:36Well, I can't stop thinking about her.
50:38If that's what you mean.
50:40I, uh...
50:43I...
50:44I just want to be with her.
50:48All the time.
50:49I mean, seeing...
50:50Seeing that girl accomplish something.
50:52It's...
50:53Something to behold.
50:54She gets this smile on her face.
50:56You know?
50:57It's...
50:58Sutter.
51:00I can't stop thinking about her.
51:03Well, there she is.
51:04Teaching 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.
51:13Yeah.
51:14Then don't let Dad's behavior stop you from maybe being with her forever.
51:20Can I show you something?
51:22I'll put it up.
51:23I made that.
51:24I made that.
51:25You made this?
51:26Why are you 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.
51:45How'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.
51:53Dane, we talked about this.
51:55You were right.
51:56I should have listened to you.
51:58I should never have sent those guys to build your house for you,
52:01or sent you that furniture or that Italian marble tile.
52:04It's just my way of taking care of you.
52:06And yet you took this long to get here.
52:09You chose your job, Dane.
52:12Look.
52:13Look, I'm here now.
52:14I don't want to make this work.
52:16I am listening.
52:18But it's so much more than that.
52:21You know, after the storm hit, I realized what's important to me.
52:29And I also realized what's important to you.
52:33And those two things just aren't the same.
52:36I love you.
52:40I love you.
52:41And I loved you.
52:42But your life is all condos, right?
52:46And big city living.
52:48And I'm all little kids.
52:49We 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.
52:57I already have a house here.
52:59I have a home, actually.
53:01A home that I built myself.
53:03I'm sorry, Dane.
53:10No, Lauren.
53:11I'm sorry.
53:16Dane.
53:20I'm sorry for pushing you away five years ago.
53:36Lauren.
53:37You'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.
54:00And I'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.
54:29Oh.
54:30It's beautiful.
54:32It's gorgeous.
54:36Oh my gosh, that was so romantic.
54:40That is the most beautiful ring I've ever seen.
54:43Right?
54:44Here, take a picture.
54:45Oh, shoot.
54:46I think she liked the ring.
54:51Our boy finally did it.
54:55Oh.
54:56Oh.
54:57Oh.
54:58Oh.
54:59Oh.
