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!
02:47Go!
02:48Go!
02:49Go!
02:50I thought we were gonna win.
02:52Fine.
02:53No, we were up, man.
02:55Today's been really fun.
02:58Yeah.
02:59I've even enjoyed losing that race.
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.
14:35Nothing.
14:37Nothing.
14:37Useless 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!
17:22It's not meant to be too good as he's not interested to be.
17:23I know I don't care.
17:24I'm fine, I don't care.
17:25You are.
17:26I think I know.
17:27What are you doing?
17:28I hear it.
17:29I hear it.
17:30Really?
17:31You're great.
17:32You're great.
17:33Yes.
17:34What are you doing?
17:35I'm really looking for you now.
17:36I'm very lucky.
17:37So, you're 24 hours ago and done this.
17:38I know you will be lying about this.
17:40I'm good at you.
17:41You're sure.
17:42I'm good at you.
17:43You're fine.
17:44You know.
17:45I'm, it's better than Gunslan is.
17:46I know you're not going.
17:47You're not going to be a good thing.
17:48How 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.
18:47He's very good to me.
18:51But?
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.
19:09Don't be silly.
19:11You're freezing.
19:13Just take it.
19:16You're welcome.
19:17You should run for mayor.
19:19Because I gave you my jacket?
19:21No.
19:22Although I would vote for that guy.
19:24The 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?
19:54You 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?
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.
20:32You know what?
20:34If you're not cold, I'd be more than happy to take this jacket back.
20:36Okay, I'm just joking.
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.
20:47Yeah, 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, sorry?
20:57Yeah, yeah.
20:58When is your project wrapping up so you can come help?
21:00Help?
21:01Happy 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.
21:10Dane, I need you here.
21:25Janser, come on.
21:27Come on.
21:27Get that on the phone, will ya?
21:34You wanna 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.
21:43Ah, 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.
21:57Okay.
21:57I 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 gonna be there any minute now.
22:14No, 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.
22:26Dane, 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.
22:58Dane, I can't do this anymore.
23:03I can't marry you.
23:10Lauren.
23:12Lauren?
23:19In my moment of weakness, I need something to free this heaviness on my heart.
23:48That I can't shake.
23:49I still carry it with me.
23:55I still carry it with me.
23:59Feeling like I'm unworthy.
24:04And the thing I need most is the hardest to take.
24:10You know, you really should get that dog a leash.
24:39Yeah, well, add it to the list.
24:43Holy cow.
24:45Lauren, how did you build this this fast?
24:48Dane made a few calls.
24:51That'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.
25:00So it's clearly important to you.
25:06Wow.
25:07I agree.
25:09Hey, listen.
25:10Also, I need to apologize about last night.
25:13You know, we 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...
25:26Plus, who would have thought?
25:27A sanctuary?
25:28A night?
25:30Would be that...
25:32nice, shall we say.
25:33And the stained glass windows were really nice as well.
25:39It won't happen again.
25:42You bet.
25:43Good call.
25:45So, what's next for you in this house, Miss Lauren?
25:51Um, this house...
25:52Well, um, actually, I was hoping to recruit a nice, strong person to help me lift some heavy
25:58furniture.
26:00I 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.
26:15Yeah.
26:17Okay, I just need your help with this trunk over here.
26:21One or two things, huh?
26:33You okay?
26:40Yeah.
26:41Oh, who doesn't want a chance to remodel?
26:43Right?
26:45I did want to do it myself, though.
26:47Listen, I understand.
26:48Um, but Dane's people, they did an amazing job, okay?
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, get better sunlight during
27:05the 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?
27:27I 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 them.
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, get there with the townspeople, and myself.
28:14You flipped me.
28:15That's good.
28:17Come on, doctor.
28:17Here in the morning, we're not the same.
28:27Well, I got the feeling that we're going to change.
28:34And I'm going to keep that inside deep in our hearts.
28:40With only one lifetime.
28:44Oh, what you're going to claim to?
28:46In this world, in this life, you need someone to hold you, to stay young and stay free.
28:56In this world, in this life, you need someone to love you.
29:06This is why the good thing feels like.
29:11In this world, in this world, in this life, you need someone to love you.
29:18This is why the good thing feels like.
29:24What if you're going to love you?
29:25Hello.
29:28Got you a little lunch?
29:32You're welcome.
29:35So, 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?
29:58Yeah.
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
30:10to supervise me, and 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
30:21and going through letters from my teachers, she would actually sit down and tutor me every
30:25night.
30:26And it worked.
30:29I got better grades.
30:33Moms, you gotta love them.
30:35Dad's not so much.
30:38Apparently mine was spending time all over town.
30:45My mom, she never talked about it.
30:48One night we were at my brother's wedding.
30:52We're sitting there, it's the two of us.
30:54And she finally told me everything that he had done, how badly he had hurt her, and
31:02that 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.
31:19But 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.
31:37But we have some pretty big jobs coming up, like roofing, electrical, plumbing.
31:47So, with your permission, I have some friends who could probably help you with that and get
31:53you 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
32:08the main road out to the highway.
32:10You got Dev.
32:11Oh.
32:11You got Sean and Siro.
32:14Yeah, yeah.
32:15Dev, good to see you again.
32:16All right.
32:16How have you been?
32:17Hey, take it easy.
32:18She's got a fiance, you know.
32:19I'm just saying hi.
32:21Guys, this means so much to me, honestly.
32:24Thank you so, so much.
32:25Now, to tell Siro which shingles to lift first, we'll go ahead and get started.
32:33Hey, guys.
32:35It's good to see you again.
32:37Oh, my gosh.
32:39I won't ever want to waver from your driftwood, floating up onto the shore.
32:49Either way out.
32:51You stole my heart.
33:10What's up?
33:11Hey.
33:13So, um, you and Colin?
33:19We're friends.
33:20What?
33:22Okay, I have a fiancé.
33:24Oh, okay.
33:28Why?
33:29Just, you know, I thought I was getting...
33:35a vibe.
33:37No.
33:38No vibe.
33:40Okay.
33:41No vibe.
33:45Why? Did you...
33:46Did you pick up on a vibe or something?
33:50Is this grade school?
33:51Should I pass a note for you during math class?
33:58Well, Colin kind of likes you.
34:04Really?
34:05Hmm?
34:06And you kind of like him?
34:10Yeah.
34:11I really like Colin as a friend.
34:14Seriously, 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...
34:34No surprises there.
34:36You liked him.
34:40I've got a fiancé.
34:41Okay, Lauren.
34:42Thanks so much, you guys.
34:45Wow.
34:47I cannot believe how much progress we've made on this house.
34:48Well, the Amish can build a barn in a day, so by that standard, we're kind of far behind schedule.
34:54No, but seriously, your friends are really awesome.
34:57That zero can really lift heavy things.
34:59Yeah, they're all right, I guess.
35:01They're all right, and you're all right.
35:03Just take care of them.
35:05Just take care of them.
35:07And take care of them.
35:09And take care of them.
35:10Friend?
35:11Friend?
35:12Huh?
35:13Yes, you are helping me to rebuild my house.
35:16Well, I think I'm going to spend the night here tonight.
35:18There's no interior of the house.
35:20No, but seriously, your friends are really awesome.
35:22That zero can really lift heavy things.
35:24Yeah, they're all right, I guess.
35:25They're all right, and you're all right.
35:27Just take credit for what an awesome friend you've been.
35:29Friend?
35:31Huh?
35:33Yes, you are helping me to rebuild my house.
35:36Well, I think I'm going to spend the night here tonight.
35:39There's no interior of the house.
35:40How 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.
35:47By yourself in the barn?
35:49No, with Dad, sir.
35:51All right, Pop.
35:53All right, well, I'll be staying the night at my place.
35:56So, 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
36:05if 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 I'm a big girl.
36:12I got this.
36:14Just offering as a friend.
36:16Right, because that's what we are.
36:17Exactly.
36:18Friends.
36:23Okay, well, I'm going to wash up at the house,
36:26and then head to the barn.
36:28Yeah, great.
36:29Get out of the truck and head back to the cabin.
36:32All right, you can take...
36:33Oh, sure.
36:34Yes?
36:35Yes.
36:36All right, well, uh...
36:38Good night, friend.
36:39Good night.

38:33Lauren?
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?
38:58I, uh...
39:00I was worried about you.
39:03Yeah. You 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.
39:19You're at my place, I'm at your place.
39:23Yeah, that's pretty funny.
39:25Why don't you just, why don't you just crash at my place tonight, and I'll stay here.
39:30Yeah, no, that, um, that sounds great.
39:35Very reasonable.
39:36Yeah, um, the, um, the key to the front door is there on the window seal.
39:44We'll all have a big laugh about this tomorrow, Lauren.
39:46I know.
39:47Okay, goodnight, Colin.
39:50It's my sleep, Lauren.
40:10Wow.
40:11I 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.
41:24Lauren?
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.
41:55I, I really like you, Colin.
42:00I, 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, 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.
42:22I 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, talk 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, your barn room, whatever.
43:13You two seem incredibly happy together.
43:15I mean, you deserve him, all 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, the best catch, the most beautiful woman in town.
43:35You dedicate your whole life to helping children.
43:39You're smart, talented.
43:42You're an absolute boss with a nail gun.
43:45You give back to other people, and 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, and...
44:30And 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, but I can't.
45:02I 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.
45:44In another lifetime, in some forgotten dream.
45:51In another lifetime, maybe it was meant to be.
45:58In another lifetime, sometimes I wonder where I'd end up.
46:17If I follow the star game trail.
46:25Into the unknown years we planned.
46:31Living ghosts of a life that could have been.
46:42Dancer?
46:44What are you doing here, buddy?
46:45Is 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.
47:09Listen, 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, yeah.
47:18Yeah, that's...
47:20That's fine.
47:24Um...
47:25Lauren, listen...
47:26Paige, hey.
47:37Dancer, you've been on your adventures again.
47:38Yes, he has.
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.
48:03Oh, my God!
48:04Answer, I don't have time.
48:31What 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?
48:57Tell her how you feel.
48:58She 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.
49:18A vibe?
49:18It's serious.
49:19It's just my gut, but I think there's still a chance, man.
49:22You don't understand, Ciro.
49:25You won't ever understand.
49:27No, 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.
49:42We've known Lauren's family for what?
49:4440, 50 years?
49:45I know, Sutter.
49:46I'm not doing it.
49:47Listen, listen.
49:47You 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.
50:06I'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 when they were...
50:15But hold on, Mom?
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.
50:29You 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 just want to be with her.
50:48All the time.
50:49I mean, seeing that girl accomplish something, it's...
50:54Something, and behold, she gets a smile on her face.
50:57You know, it's...
50:59Sutter, I can't stop thinking about her.
51:04Well, 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?
51:36You don't know if you don't try.
51:38You're right.
51:45How's my Lauren?
51:47Dane, what are you doing here?
51:48I came to apologize.
51:49I want to make this work.
51:52Me and you.
51:54Dane, we talked about this.
51:56You were right.
51:57I should have listened to you.
51:59I should never have sent those guys to build your house for you, or sent you that furniture,
52:03that Italian marble tile.
52:05It's just my way of taking care of you.
52:06And yet you took this long to get here.
52:10You chose your job, Dane.
52:13Look, look, I'm here now.
52:15I don't want to make this work.
52:17I 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.
52:30And 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.
52:57I 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.
53:27I'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.
54:11Lauren Christensen, would you marry me?
54:21Yes.
54:22Yes, I will.
54:29Oh.
54:30It's beautiful.
54:32It's so beautiful.
54:33Oh, my gosh.
54:39That was so romantic.
54:42That is the most beautiful ring I've ever seen.
54:44Right?
54:45Here, take a picture.
54:47Oh, shoot.
54:54I think she liked the ring.
54:55Our boy finally did it.
54:57Oh, what?
55:06Oh, girl.
55:22Oh, man.
55:24Oh, man.
55:24Oh, man.
55:24Oh, man.
55:24Oh, man.
55:25Oh, man.
