00:01In weather, record-breaking hurricane course winds are getting 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 Pavis. She's got a basement.
01:00Dancer?
01:06Dancer!
01:09Dancer!
01:19Dancer!
01:23Lord, I need a little help right now!
01:26I got him!
01:30I got him!
01:34Camera itself, there is a measure of the valley.
01:37This may be the storm of the century.
01:39Reports are tornadoes touching down so we're still heading our way.
01:42If you can hear this, take shelter immediately.
01:44The time for evacuation is over.
01:46Zach, we'll be here on that.
01:50Um, I'm gonna...
01:54Zach?
01:55All of you guys in town.
02:02Call him Trump.
02:06I think it's about time for you and me to, uh, get the hay.
02:11Seriously.
02:13Yeah.
02:15Now 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.
02:27Yeah, about five years ago now.
02:33All 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!
02:47No!
02:48No!
02:49No!
02:50I spoke too soon.
02:51I thought we were gonna win.
02:52Fine.
02:53We'll be right around.
02:56Today's been really fun.
02:58Yeah.
02:59I've even enjoyed losing that race.
03:02So...
03:07I'm just gonna go out on a limb here, but I think this would be really fun to do again next week.
03:13The fair's not going to be back till the end of the month.
03:18Oh, I know. Not the fair.
03:21I just meant coffee or a movie or something.
03:26I'll get the tickets. You get the popcorn.
03:31I 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.
03:52Yeah, but I would not have cared.
03:56I'm sorry.
04:11Lauren, I'm so sorry.
04:23This is my house. This is where I grew up. Like, all of my memories are here.
04:29Lauren, a lot of this stuff isn't ruined.
04:30And, you know, you just dry it out, get the water off of it, the mold sets in.
04:37I guess.
04:38You guess?
04:40No, things are just things, Lauren.
04:44No, but they were my things, though.
04:46Right.
04:46But they weren't you.
04:49They weren't the dancer.
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.
05:03My 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?
05:29First, I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself.
05:31I 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, checking the damage.
05:48Well, let's go do that.
05:51Yeah.
05:52All right.
05:56All right, why don't we throw on a change of clothes?
05:58Yeah.
05:59Good idea.
06:01I'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.
06:23Okay?
06:24Being 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?
06:40That's a kind of fiancé.
06:43What's this?
06:44Frida?
06:48Colin?
06:48Lauren?
06:49Hey, Frida.
06:50How are you and Hector doing?
06:52We'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.
07:20Rolls are in bad shape.
07:29Hey, Sutter.
07:30It's Colin.
07:31Yeah, no, how are you?
07:32It 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.
07:46Excuse me?
07:47You want to explain?
07:48I'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.
08:02She 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, I gotta go.
08:14This 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?
08:23Better.
08:23You'd be good to her, Colin.
08:27Yeah, no, Mom, I love her.
08:28I already did.
08:29Later.
08:30See ya.
08:30This is how the Schumachs make out.
08:35The road to their barn washed out completely, but they got their animals out early, so...
08:41They did.
08:44That's some good news, I guess.
08:45Hey, going back to what I said earlier about helping you rebuild your house, it'd be no trouble.
08:55It's okay, I can figure it out.
08:57It's not like I think that you need a man's help or anything like that.
09:01It's just, you know what I do for a living, right?
09:03Yes, you make furniture.
09:05I'm a carpenter.
09:07Pretty good carpenter, actually.
09:08And so helping you with your house would be no problem.
09:10No problem.
09:11That's a really nice offer, but no thank you.
09:15The phone's free, so I'm going to call my fiancé.
09:29You have Dane?
09:31Hey, it's me.
09:32Lauren, my assistant's been trying you for hours.
09:34Are you okay?
09:35Yes, I'm fine.
09:37Um, but my entire house was destroyed.
09:42But, and, and sorry, I would have called earlier, but all the power's out, all the phone lines are down.
09:50Your 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 this deal.
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, I can't do that.
10:04The community needs every single one of us here right now.
10:08Look, I just want you to be safe.
10:12That's, that'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.
10:30A crew?
10:30No, no, no, um, no, no, no, no, it's way too early for any of that.
10:34You're going to supervise, of course.
10:36Dane Richards, you have zero listening skills.
10:40My grandparents built that family home, and I'm going to do the same.
10:44Lauren, Lauren, I'm just trying to help.
10:45You're a school teacher.
10:46You can't build a house by yourself.
10:47I know it takes a team to rebuild a home, but that team starts with me.
10:51Hey, how do you get 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.
11:09The 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, search and rescue is the main priority right now.
11:40And you 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 are going to be people out there without clean water, without power.
12:00They can be injured.
12:01They can 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.
12:11Doing exactly just that.
12:12Great.
12:13Well, we can help them.
12:14How many firefighters are there?
12:16We have five well-trained professionals.
12:19Five.
12:21Nathan, 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, council will allow it.
12:43Page.
12:53Oh, I'm so happy to see you.
12:59I've been looking everywhere for you.
13:02Oh, we tried to get 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, can you stop?
13:25Was that Colin I saw you waving at just now?
13:28Oh, 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.
13:53There 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...
14:04Mara!
14:05Tell me everything.
14:07No, nothing happens.
14:09No, we just got to know each other a little better.
14:12That's all.
14:14Okay, let's help with the Pallopock.
14:17And you are telling me every detail.
14:20Come on.
14:20Nothing.
14:33Nothing.
14:36Nothing.
14:38Useless technology.
14:40Help! Help me! Anybody? Help me!
14:55Mr. Rodriguez, are you in there?
14:59Yes! I'm here! And I knocked off my wheelchair! My leg is stuck!
15:07Stay calm! Yeah, we have the rescue team here. We're here in the Supreme and we'll get you out!
15:16Bless you! I've been stuck here for hours!
15:22Alright, we're here now. Okay, we'll have you out shortly.
15:26Hmm.
15:36So, 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.
15:45Your boyfriend's a hero.
15:47Oh yeah? Dane's in Australia. What could he have done?
15:51No. You're a new boyfriend.
15:54I'm an engaged woman.
15:57So, you officially accepted Dane's proposal then?
16:01Not exactly. See?
16:04I love Dane.
16:06I 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.
16:17Wait, 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.
16:30Wait, is he gonna be okay?
16:32Yeah.
16:33Joel, he's a firefighter, said Colin cleared the debris and carried Hugo out to the table.
16:41Joel said, if they hadn't split up like Colin suggested, they wouldn't have got to Hugo for 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 him out.
17:06I think you should stop talking and eat some chicken.
17:09I hear it's drunk.
17:21I hear it's drunk, fine.
17:22Okay.
17:23Okay.
17:24And I'm like, you know what?
17:25I'll ask him now.
17:26I'll ask him.
17:27I'll ask him now.
17:28Bye.
17:29Bye.
17:31Bye.
17:49Bye.
17:50How 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.
18:15Oh, come on.
18:15I 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, um, and then he'll be back here.
18:42Is he a good man?
18:45Yes.
18:46Yes, he's very good to me.
18:50But.
18:53But.
18:55Well, when you, when you're with the person you're supposed to marry, you, you have this gut feeling, right?
19:01Right.
19:04Unless he isn't.
19:05Oh, no, no, no, no, it's okay.
19:10Don'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 jacket?
19:21No.
19:22No.
19:23Although I would vote for that guy.
19:25The way you corralled the search and rescue team.
19:30And how you helped Mr. Rodriguez.
19:33It's...
19:33Listen, Joel saved Mr. Rodriguez.
19:36Okay?
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?
19:54You 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?
19:59In under 72 hours, a man who thought I hated him...
20:05You did hate me.
20:07Shh.
20:08I'm talking.
20:09Okay.
20:10This 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?
20:34If you're not cold, I'd be more than happy to take this jacket back.
20:36Okay, I would just...
20:37Just fine.
20:41Hey, Dane.
20:42My beautiful Lauren.
20:43How's everything flood-wise this morning?
20:45It was a beautiful day down under.
20:47Yeah, we're doing okay.
20:49Things are still a little bit of a disaster, but we're all pulling through.
20:52That's my girl.
20:54So, when are you getting here?
20:56Coming in?
20:56Sorry?
20:58Yeah, yeah.
20:58When is your project wrapping up so you can come help?
21:00Help?
21:01Pack it of 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.
21:10Dane, I need you here.
21:11Here.
21:11Dane, sir, come on.
21:26Get that on the phone, will you?
21:33You want to help Tony with the number?
21:35All right.
21:35Excuse me.
21:37Hello.
21:38Hi.
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.
21:48It's Lauren Christensen.
21:52Did a man named Dane put you up to this?
21:55Mr. Richards hired us, yes.
21:57Okay.
21:58I need everybody off of my property right now.
22:01Excuse me, Max?
22:07You 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.
22:14Oh, yeah, they're all working here right now.
22:17Great.
22:17They said they'd be fast.
22:19No, Dane, I told you.
22:20I wanted to rebuild my family home myself.
22:23But I just wanted to support.
22:24Dane, you are a great guy.
22:29You really are.
22:31You 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?
22:43Lauren, I...
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.
22:54Dane, I can't do this anymore.
23:03I can't marry you.
23:10Lauren?
23:12Lauren?
23:13Lauren?
23:13Lauren?
23:24Lauren?
23:35In my moment of weakness, I need something free, this heaviness on my heart that I can shape.
23:38I 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.
24:03And the thing I need most is the hardest to take.
24:13Where the shadows grow tall, and your back's up against the wall.
24:23In this moment it's clear, in the darkest of times, love begins here.
24:35You know, you really should get that dog a leash.
24:40Yeah, well, add it to the list.
24:43Holy cow. Lauren, how did you build this this fast?
24:48Dane made a few calls.
24:49That'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...
25:26Plus, who would have thought?
25:27A sanctuary, a 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.
25:42Good call.
25:42Good call.
25:45So, what's next for you in this house, Miss Lauren?
25:52This house?
25:52Well, um, actually, I was hoping to recruit a nice, strong person to help me lift some heavy furniture.
26:00I guess that's me.
26:01All 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.
26:15Yeah.
26:17Okay, I just need your help with this trunk over here.
26:21One or two things, huh?
26:22You 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.
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, though.
27:22Sounds good.
27:23I think I'm going to hit the hay.
27:25Literally.
27:26What do you mean?
27:28I think I'm going to spend the night in the barn again tonight.
27:32By yourself?
27:35Well, 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?
27:43You 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.
28:00Here, 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.
28:09Get there with the townspeople.
28:11And myself.
28:14You flipped me.
28:15That's good.
28:16Come on, daughter.
28:17Come on, daughter.
28:17Come on.
28:18Here in the morning, we're not the same.
28:27Well, I got the feeling that we're gonna change.
28:34And I want you to keep it inside, deep in our hearts.
28:40With only one lifetime.
28:42In this world, in this life, you need someone to hold you.
28:53To stay young and stay free.
28:59In this world, in this life, you need someone to love you.
29:06This is why the good thing feels good.
29:12In this world, in this life, you need someone to love you.
29:19This is why the 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.
29:47My dad.
29:53I remember your dad.
29:55He left a few years back, no?
29:58Yeah.
29:59After he cheated on my mother more than once.
30:02I was the youngest of five boys, and my mom was, she didn't have the time or the energy to supervise me, and younger Colin might have taken advantage of that.
30:14But my mom, after taking care of five boys, after cooking dinners, and cleaning the house, and going through letters from my teachers, she would actually sit down and tutor me every night.
30:26And it worked.
30:29I got better grades.
30:33Moms.
30:33You 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, how badly he had hurt her.
31:02And 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.
31:28That's worked so far.
31:30But...
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.
31:38But we have some pretty big jobs coming up.
31:41Like roofing, electrical, plumbing.
31:45So, with your permission, I have some friends who could probably help you with that and get you in your home a little quicker.
31:56Okay, I could be open to that.
31:57Huh?
31:58Lauren, I don't know if you remember any of my old friends, but they just got done clearing the main road out to the highway.
32:10You got Dev.
32:11Oh.
32:11You got Sean and Siro.
32:13Yeah, yeah, yeah, Dev, good to see you again.
32:16All right, how have you been?
32:17Hey, take it easy.
32:18Oh!
32:18She's got a fiancée, you know.
32:19I'm just saying hi.
32:21Guys, this means so much to me, honestly.
32:24Thank you so, so much.
32:25Now, tell Siro what shingles to live first.
32:28We'll go ahead and get started.
32:59You stole my heart.
33:10What's up?
33:12Hey.
33:13So, um, you and Colin?
33:19We're friends.
33:21What?
33:22Okay, I have a fiancée.
33:25Oh, okay.
33:28Why?
33:30I'm just, you know, I thought I was getting a vibe.
33:37No.
33:38No vibe.
33:41Okay.
33:42No vibe.
33:45Why?
33:46Did you pick up on a vibe or something?
33:50This is grade school.
33:52Should I pass a note for you during math class?
33:54Well, Colin kind of likes you.
34:04Really?
34:05And you kind of like him?
34:11Yeah.
34:11I really like Colin as a friend.
34:15Seriously, he's been amazing to me throughout this whole storm situation.
34:20No.
34:20No.
34:23As 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.
34:38I've got a fiancée.
34:43Okay, Lauren.
34:44Thanks so much, you guys.
34:58Wow.
34:59I cannot believe how much progress we've made on this house.
35:02Well, the Amish can build a barn in a day, so by that standard, we're kind of far behind schedule.
35:08No, but seriously, your friends are really awesome.
35:15That zero can really lift heavy things.
35:18Yeah, 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.
35:28Friend, huh?
35:31Yes, you are helping me to rebuild my house.
35:34Well, I think I'm going to spend the night here tonight.
35:39There's no interior of the house.
35:41How 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, Pop.
35:52All right, well, I'll be staying the night at my place, so, you know, if you ever needed a place to crash.
36:00Are you trying to spend the night with me?
36:03No.
36:04I'm just letting you know, if you didn't feel like staying at the barn by yourself, you have a place, so.
36:10Well, that's sweet of you, but I'm a big girl, I got this.
36:14Just offering as a friend.
36:16Right, because that's what we are.
36:18Exactly.
36:19Friends.
36:24Okay, well, I'm going to wash up at the house, and then head to the barn.
36:28Yeah, great.
36:29I'm going to get in the truck and head back to the cabin.
36:32All right, take.
36:33Oh, sure.
36:35Yes.
36:35Thanks.
36:36All right, well, uh, good night, friend.
36:39Good night.
36:42Friend.
36:43Good night.
36:43Good night.
37:05Good night.
37:06Good night.
37:11Friends.
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 friends.
38:08That's it.
38:11That's it.
38:23Lauren!
38:25Lauren!
38:34Lauren?
38:35Hello?
38:44Hello?
38:45Hey, Colin. It's me. It's Lauren.
38:48Um, why aren't you answering your door?
38:50Wait, you're at my place?
38:53Wait, 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?
39:06Check 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.
39:15No, 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 front door is there on the window seal.
39:42Well, we'll all have a big laugh about this tomorrow, Lauren.
39:46I know.
39:48Okay, goodnight, Colin.
39:50It's my sleep, Lauren.
40:10Wow.
40:12I remember this.
40:32Who's got Beyonce?
40:46You can't do this.
40:49Dancer?
41:11Is this you, buddy?
41:12What are you doing, Colin?
41:21Sleeping in a pink frilly bed.
41:23That's what you're doing.
41:24That's what you're doing.
41:24Lauren?
41:38What 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.
41:56I...
41:56I really like you, Colin.
41:58I really like you.
42:02And actually, I came to apologize to you, too, for hating you all of those years after that
42:09stupid day at the picnic.
42:10Because I was just embarrassed, 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.
42:26You're not a horrible person, Colin.
42:29You are smart.
42:31Right?
42:32You'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?
42:55I like you.
42:58And if I'm being honest, I think you like me, too.
43:00Lauren, you have a fiancé.
43:06I mean, I saw his pictures up in your bedroom.
43:10Your barn room.
43:11Whatever.
43:13You 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.
43:53History has shown that it's not me.
43:55You deserve Dane.
43:58I broke up with Dane.
44:01When?
44:04That day that he brought the crew over and I asked him not to.
44:08Why did you do that, Lauren?
44:10My gut.
44:13And 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.
44:30And...
44:31And I couldn't help but fall for him.
44:41Colin...
44:41I think I'm falling in love with you.
44:55I...
44:56I can't do this.
45:00I'm sorry.
45:00I thought I could.
45:02But I can't.
45:02I can't.
45:02I can't.
45:02I can't.
45:04I don't want to do something I can't take back.
45:22I don'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, that maybe it was meant to be.
46:04In another lifetime.
46:07Sometimes I wonder where I'd end up.
46:19If I follow this dark angel.
46:25Into the unknown years we've planned.
46:30Living ghosts of a life that could have been.
46:37Dancer?
46:44What are you doing here, buddy?
46:47Is Lauren here?
46:48Lauren!
46:51Supposed to run off 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.
47:07Um, listen, if you want, I could, um, you know, bring him back to your place.
47:15Could you drop him at my friend Paige's?
47:17Paige's, but yeah.
47:18Yeah.
47:19That's...
47:20That's fine.
47:23Um, Lauren, listen.
47:26Paige.
47:33Paige, hey.
47:35Dancer, you'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?
47:48Tell Lauren what?
47:49Could you tell Lauren just to get this dog a leash?
47:51Thanks.
47:52Thanks.
48:03Oh, my God!
48:04What?
48:05What?
48:05I don't have time.
48:35What am I interrupting?
48:37No.
48:38It's not your dog, though.
48:40All right.
48:42What's going on?
48:44You know, calling for a smart guy,
48:46you can be pretty dumb sometimes.
48:49Man, 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.
48:59She doesn't want to talk to me.
49:01She 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.
49:18The vibe is serious.
49:19It's just my gut, but I think there's still a chance, man.
49:22You don't understand, Zero.
49:25You won't ever understand.
49:27No, Colin.
49:28You don't understand.
49:31What are you doing?
49:32Big guts.
49:37Sutter!
49:38Hey, buddy.
49:39Hey, listen.
49:40Not your turn to talk.
49:42We've known Lauren's family for, what, 40, 50 years?
49:45I know, Sutter.
49:46I'm not knowing.
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.
50:06I'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.
50:22With 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.
50:30You are not Dad.
50:34Tell me about Lauren.
50:35What?
50:35Well, I can't stop thinking about her, if that's what you mean.
50:40I, uh...
50:42I...
50:44I just want to be with her.
50:48All the time.
50:49I mean, seeing...
50:50Seeing that girl accomplish something, it's...
50:54Something, and behold, she gets this smile on her face.
50:57You know, it's...
50:59Sutter, I can't stop thinking about her.
51:03Well, there she is, teaching a bunch of third graders.
51:07And there's a man on his way to maybe take her away from me forever.
51:11Do you really love her?
51:12With all 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 ain't surprised.
51:27It's what I do.
51:28Wow.
51:29Think she'll like it?
51:30Yeah.
51:31Think it'll fit?
51:33You don't know if you don't try.
51:38You're right.
51:40Let's go.
51:45How's my Lauren?
51:47Dane, what are you doing here?
51:49I 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 have never 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.
52:12Look.
52:14Look, 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.
52:40I love you.
52:41And I loved you.
52:43But your life is all condos, right?
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.
53:00A home that I built myself.
53:07I'm sorry, Dane.
53:10No, Lauren, I'm sorry.
53:30I'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, I've got to spend the rest of my life with you.
54:10I made you something.
54:13Lauren Christensen?
54:14Allison, would you marry me?
54:21Yes.
