00:00:00I
00:00:30Release, or I'll replace you.
00:00:33Come on.
00:00:53Hi!
00:00:54Oh, it really is my birthday!
00:00:57Hi, sweetheart.
00:00:59Hello.
00:01:00Are you coming to dinner?
00:01:02Sorry, Mom. Final suite.
00:01:04Open your present down, Mom.
00:01:06Okay.
00:01:16Oh, it's beautiful.
00:01:19It's so beautiful.
00:01:21Oh, thank you, honey.
00:01:23Thank you so much.
00:01:25Oh, you are such good children.
00:01:31I think your dad will remember.
00:01:33He didn't forget last year.
00:01:35Well, that's because the two of you spent the whole month dropping hints.
00:01:38This year, he's been in San Francisco for the last three weeks.
00:01:48Mark?
00:01:49I'm starting to get worried.
00:01:50What took you so long?
00:01:51You know, you better hurry.
00:01:54Mark?
00:01:56Did something happen?
00:01:57What?
00:02:00It's not the twins. I just saw them.
00:02:05Where's your luggage?
00:02:15Mark, what is it?
00:02:18All right, Maggie, now listen to me.
00:02:19This isn't easy for me to say.
00:02:20I'm just gonna say it.
00:02:22I'm not happy.
00:02:24I don't think either one of us is happy.
00:02:25I mean, if it's not good for me, how can it possibly be good for you?
00:02:28Huh?
00:02:30Now, Maggie, the kids are grown.
00:02:32And we've changed.
00:02:34We're not the same people we were 20 years ago.
00:02:3722.
00:02:39We've been married 22 years in June.
00:02:4222.
00:02:4322.
00:02:45I didn't plan for this to happen.
00:02:46I mean, I didn't go looking for this to happen.
00:02:49Honest to God, Maggie, this just happened.
00:02:52And you know what a comfort that's always been for me, Mark.
00:02:54Yeah, well, this is a little bit different.
00:02:57I want to get married. I want to marry her.
00:03:01Maggie, look, I mean, we've been working together all these months up in San Francisco, you know,
00:03:05and, I mean, I mean, you met her.
00:03:08You met her at the Christmas party last year.
00:03:11Jennifer Brody.
00:03:12She's about 27.
00:03:13I don't know.
00:03:14Blonde.
00:03:15Comes up to about...
00:03:18About here.
00:03:26Sorry.
00:03:28Just...
00:03:30Maggie, I want a divorce, huh?
00:03:31I...
00:03:32You know what I want to do?
00:03:34I...
00:03:35I don't want to lie to you anymore.
00:03:36I don't want to sneak around anymore.
00:03:37I don't want...
00:03:38I don't want to do any of that sort of thing.
00:03:39I want to be honorable about this whole thing.
00:03:42Honorable?
00:03:45Is leaving your wife for another woman honorable?
00:03:49I'll tell you what.
00:03:50I'll have somebody come by and get my things.
00:03:54And then, uh...
00:03:56I'll have Arnie call you about the terms.
00:03:59And...
00:04:00Please don't worry about the thing.
00:04:01I'm gonna be...
00:04:02I'm gonna be generous with you, and you know I will.
00:04:04Mark.
00:04:14You forgot to wish me a happy birthday.
00:04:24I'm sorry.
00:04:27I'm sorry, Maggie.
00:04:28I didn't realize it was today.
00:04:39I'm sure you do.
00:04:58little dream.
00:05:00I'm sorry, Maggie.
00:05:03I'm sorry, Maggie.
00:05:05And I'm sorry, Maggie.
00:05:06What are you doing?
00:05:08Happy birthday to my oldest and dearest friend!
00:05:22My friend, emphasis on the oldest, my gentleman caller, Walter, there's a ton, anyway, whatever, he looks like Harrison Ford, and he's parking the car now, and I have the most fantastic bottle of champagne, and I think we should pop the cork and immediately start celebrating.
00:05:41What? Oh, no. By the look on your face, I can only wonder who Mark has been up to this time. Jennifer, blonde, 27, comes up to about here on him. Good old Mark, one notch above an alley cat. Oh, no, he's honorable now. He's gonna marry this one. I don't know what to do, Sam.
00:06:08Oh, come home as fast as you can. I mean, look, Chicago is Markstown. You never intended to stay here anyway. My children are here. The twins have their own lives. I mean, you hardly ever see them. Settle this and come home. You could be in Deep Cove in a couple of months. Let me get rid of Harrison Ford. We're gonna talk this out. We'll sit down and figure out what to do.
00:06:38Hi, guys. Thanks for your help. Hi. I'm sorry I'm late. Closing took so long. I thought I'd be finished two hours ago. No problem. We got everything in. Here's the receipt. I hope you own this house.
00:07:05Well, the agent says that I do. I call the twins. Peter's still mad at me for moving. Oh, well, everybody's like that at 19. You know how kids are. They don't want anything to change except themselves.
00:07:19But now it's your turn. My turn. Whatever that means. Well, I got a good idea. Let's go to my house. We'll take a hot shower. We'll order a little Chinese. And we'll watch out of Africa.
00:07:33I think you're gonna feel a lot better when you see what Meryl Streep's been through.
00:07:36Oh, Sam. I want to get it over with. I'm gonna have to stay here alone sooner or later.
00:07:42Come on. I got clean sheets and towels and I know exactly where they are.
00:07:48Oh, honey. You look so sad.
00:07:53All right. Okay. All right. Be alone. Get your breath.
00:07:58Thanks, Sam.
00:07:59You're gonna be fine. And we are going to have a great time.
00:08:06See ya.
00:08:06See ya.
00:08:07See ya.
00:08:12A little higher. Just a little higher. Yes, that's perfect.
00:08:25Okay.
00:08:28Woo. All right.
00:08:30Sam, I haven't decorated anybody's house but my own in so long.
00:08:34Well, you know, design is like sex after a long absence.
00:08:37You may be a little nervous. You may think you need to be shown a few things.
00:08:40But then it all comes back to you.
00:08:43You know, I'm really excited about all of this but I can't stop thinking about what I've lost.
00:08:48With Mark?
00:08:50You lost that a long time ago.
00:08:52And the twins are gonna come visit. Come on!
00:08:55Come on!
00:08:55Come on!
00:08:55Come on!
00:08:57Come on!
00:08:58Come on!
00:08:59Come on!
00:09:00Come on!
00:09:01Come on!
00:09:02Come on!
00:09:03Come on!
00:09:04Come on!
00:09:05Come on!
00:09:06Come on!
00:09:07Come on!
00:09:08Come on!
00:09:09Come on!
00:09:10Come on!
00:09:40Come on!
00:09:41Come on!
00:09:42Come on!
00:09:43Come on!
00:09:44Come on!
00:09:45Come on!
00:09:46Come on!
00:09:47Come on!
00:09:48Come on!
00:09:49Come on!
00:09:50Lucky for them, it's going to be Summer House.
00:09:52Nobody should have to live through that renovation.
00:09:54I don't even want to think about the bathrooms.
00:09:57I think a good architect for this would be Mark Payne.
00:10:00Why him?
00:10:01Well, he's very, very good.
00:10:02He's also newly single and gorgeous.
00:10:04You need to start mixing a little pleasure with your business.
00:10:08I'm not interested.
00:10:09I'm not interested.
00:10:10Maggie, it's been two years and all you do is work.
00:10:13You need to taste life.
00:10:15You need to find a great fashion like Angus and I had.
00:10:19You know, the kind where your heart pounds and you feel really hot all the way down.
00:10:23Sam, the thought of dating again.
00:10:24Ugh!
00:10:25Maggie, who said anything about dating?
00:10:28I'm talking about some delicious sex.
00:10:31Sam!
00:10:32Men and love and sex are normal and healthy and fun.
00:10:38You can't hide from them forever.
00:10:39Men are fun!
00:10:41Okay.
00:10:42All right.
00:10:43I shall not press.
00:10:46On the way to the tile store, I'm going to show you my new way of having a little fun.
00:10:55I've had this fantasy for the longest time.
00:10:58I think this would make an amazing country inn.
00:11:01You know, with a really great gourmet restaurant.
00:11:04A romantic little rendezvous.
00:11:05It's just what this town needs.
00:11:11Oh, boy.
00:11:16Well, you've got to be kidding.
00:11:20How much money did Angus leave you?
00:11:22I mean, wouldn't it be easier just to take it all out and burn it?
00:11:25You think I'm risking my money?
00:11:27No way.
00:11:28I've got a couple of rich investors who are perfectly happy to burn their money.
00:11:33Well, this is their big chance.
00:11:36Well, and this must be Tut's tomb.
00:11:42Hey, come on.
00:11:43Where's your imagination?
00:11:45This is a very romantic little lounge.
00:11:50Trust me.
00:11:51I just met the guy who lit the bank well place.
00:11:54He turned that old mausoleum into a palace.
00:11:57The guy's a lighting genius.
00:11:59Well, if he's so good, why did you just discover him?
00:12:02Because he just moved here from Crestridge.
00:12:05I'm telling you, his resume is amazing.
00:12:07You know, Rhode Island School of Design.
00:12:09Five years of the best homes in Westport and his photography portfolio.
00:12:14Oh.
00:12:17There he is.
00:12:18Rather handsome, don't you think?
00:12:19Wow.
00:12:20He's too young for you, Sam.
00:12:21I know.
00:12:22Life can be so unfair.
00:12:24Jake.
00:12:25Hi.
00:12:26How are you?
00:12:27Uh, Maggie.
00:12:28I'd like for you to meet Jake Cardell.
00:12:30And this is my business partner, Maggie Sorrell.
00:12:35Push her in.
00:12:37Well, Maggie, why don't you tell Jake what you had in mind here?
00:12:42About the room.
00:12:44The room?
00:12:46Well?
00:12:49It's too dark.
00:12:52No kidding.
00:12:55Well, okay, off the top of my head, um, we could cut in some windows over there,
00:13:01and we could lighten up this old wood.
00:13:03It'd be a shame to cut into this beautiful old wood.
00:13:07With the right lighting, this room could have a great golden tone.
00:13:10It takes wood years to achieve this kind of patina.
00:13:12Yeah.
00:13:13It could be very romantic in here.
00:13:17But, hey, you two are the designers, not me.
00:13:19No.
00:13:20No, I mean, you're absolutely right.
00:13:25Well, I think this is going very well.
00:13:30Well, la-di-da, you little cradle-hopper, you.
00:13:35Come on.
00:13:36I'm old enough to be his sister.
00:13:39I probably reminded me of somebody.
00:13:41An aunt or a teacher or something.
00:13:43Yeah, well, I'd get my lesson plans ready, because I think school is just about to start.
00:13:49See you later.
00:13:50I wonder where he goes for recess.
00:13:52I've been inside myself so long.
00:13:56I've covered all these walls with pictures.
00:14:05You don't have to knock in your own home.
00:14:08Hi.
00:14:09That's nice.
00:14:10Professor Debra will be proud of you.
00:14:11He is.
00:14:12I sit on my picture of it.
00:14:13Yep.
00:14:14He wants to put it in the alumni show.
00:14:15That's great.
00:14:16And he asked about you.
00:14:17You got everything in here?
00:14:18Your seats and cancel checks and stuff.
00:14:19Jake?
00:14:20Yeah.
00:14:21We had 10 good years together.
00:14:23I was wrong to lie to you the way that I did.
00:14:26But, Jake, I want to make it up to you.
00:14:28Amy.
00:14:29I kept my promise.
00:14:31I gave our separation a year.
00:14:32Nothing changed for me.
00:14:33I tried.
00:14:34You know I did.
00:14:36But yeah.
00:14:37We had 10 good years together.
00:14:38You had 10 good years together.
00:14:40And I was wrong to lie to you the way that I did.
00:14:44But, Jake, I want to make it up to you.
00:14:46Amy.
00:14:47I kept my promise.
00:14:50I gave our separation a year.
00:14:53Nothing changed for me.
00:14:55I tried.
00:14:57You know I did.
00:15:01It's over. I'm sorry.
00:15:06I only stopped by because we still have to file a joint tax return.
00:15:11You drove all this way.
00:15:13You might as well stay for dinner.
00:15:19Let's just get divorced.
00:15:21Let's go on with our lives.
00:15:23Please.
00:15:27Jake, this is so hard for me.
00:15:29I've always kept my end of the deal.
00:15:32I will take care of you.
00:15:46Hello, Jake.
00:15:47Hi, Glenn.
00:15:48Sorry you dropped out there.
00:15:50You know, Amy, if you'd had some children, I think he would have stayed.
00:15:59I mean, that's all he ever talked about.
00:16:00Kids.
00:16:00Oh, look at you.
00:16:04Look at you.
00:16:04Look at your hair.
00:16:05Look at your clothes.
00:16:07Look, if you want to get him back, you're going to have to do better than this.
00:16:10Not now, Mother.
00:16:11Not now.
00:16:11Hi.
00:16:12Hi.
00:16:13Hi.
00:16:14Hi.
00:16:15Hi.
00:16:16Hi.
00:16:16Hi.
00:16:17Hi.
00:16:18Hi.
00:16:18Hi.
00:16:19I wanted to get Ted in here before the day got too busy.
00:16:20Ted's the chief electrician here.
00:16:21Um, Ted, I want you to meet Maggie Sorrell.
00:16:23I wanted to get Ted in here before the day got too busy.
00:16:26Ted's the chief electrician here.
00:16:28Um, Ted, I want you to meet Maggie Sorrell.
00:16:31She's a designer.
00:16:33Hello.
00:16:33Hi.
00:16:35Listen, Sam called me at home last night.
00:16:37She said she wanted to expand the project to include the guest cottages.
00:16:41The guest cottages?
00:16:42Yeah.
00:16:43But she suggested we all meet at your house tomorrow so she can tell us what's on her mind
00:16:46and we can drive out together.
00:16:48Eight o'clock, right?
00:16:50Come around to the back door.
00:16:52The front door's hard to open.
00:16:53Okay.
00:16:56Ted, box is in the hallway.
00:17:02Sam, what do you think you're doing?
00:17:20Perfect timing.
00:17:21I just made some bread.
00:17:22Morning.
00:17:23All right, come in.
00:17:26Sit down.
00:17:30Wow.
00:17:30Seems like I haven't had a home-cooked breakfast in forever.
00:17:36Really?
00:17:36Sam and I thought a handsome young bachelor like yourself
00:17:39probably gets all the home-cooked breakfast he wants.
00:17:44Not that we were talking about it.
00:17:46I mean, a single young man like yourself might not get many home-cooked meals.
00:17:51Which could be breakfast.
00:17:55Or not.
00:17:57Coffee.
00:17:59You want some?
00:17:59Yes.
00:18:00Smells delicious.
00:18:15It's too bad Sam couldn't make it.
00:18:19Food boy's name, she said?
00:18:21I hope so.
00:18:23I mean, I hope that's all it is.
00:18:25Do you like opera?
00:18:31Sorry.
00:18:32I never really cared for her.
00:18:33It's too bad.
00:18:36My father taught me.
00:18:39Other kids learn how to fish other than opera.
00:18:41This is Puccini.
00:18:42It's a story of a Japanese maiden who falls in love with an American sailor.
00:18:51She has this baby.
00:18:53And he marries another woman and she kills herself.
00:18:55Well, that's cheerful.
00:18:57But Magnus?
00:18:58Puccini said he didn't write Madame Butterfly.
00:19:05It was dictated to her.
00:19:07My God.
00:19:08It's pretty interesting.
00:19:09Yes, it is.
00:19:10It's very interesting.
00:19:12My God.
00:19:30Watch your step.
00:19:31Here.
00:19:32Here.
00:19:33It's going to make an adorable guest cottage.
00:19:49Yeah, and about $50,000.
00:19:55This place is going to take months to work on.
00:19:57I thought I had the plans in here.
00:20:04I'm usually so organized, I...
00:20:07I have some lighting ideas for the lounge I'd like to show you.
00:20:12Sure.
00:20:13Okay.
00:20:27All right, it's going to get dark for a second.
00:20:31You have to let your eyes adjust.
00:20:38You ready?
00:20:39You ready?
00:20:44Yes.
00:20:49What do you think?
00:20:52I can't tell.
00:20:53What do you think?
00:20:57Beautiful.
00:21:09Absolutely beautiful.
00:21:27Maggie?
00:21:35I brought the invoices.
00:21:36We said six o'clock, didn't we?
00:21:42He knew what we planned.
00:21:45No, Hannah, that's exactly why he's doing it.
00:21:51I want you to go.
00:21:52It's a beautiful place.
00:21:57Mm-hmm.
00:21:57Mm-hmm.
00:21:57All right.
00:22:02I love you.
00:22:03Bye.
00:22:07Everything all right?
00:22:08Hi, Maggie.
00:22:12You look like somebody's giving you a hard time.
00:22:15Even if it's a contractor, I can help.
00:22:17No, it's personal.
00:22:19None of my business, son.
00:22:21I mean, maybe some of you should go.
00:22:22No, that's not what I meant, Jake.
00:22:24There's just nothing you can do about it.
00:22:25Well, I can listen.
00:22:27If that'll help.
00:22:31Well.
00:22:36I have a son and a daughter.
00:22:38Twins.
00:22:39They're grown.
00:22:41I was planning to go to Chicago for their birthday,
00:22:44but their father decided to take them to California instead.
00:22:46So the woman that he left me for
00:22:50is going to be spending their 21st birthday with him.
00:22:53And I won't be.
00:22:56Prince of a guy, huh?
00:22:58Yeah.
00:23:02Thanks.
00:23:04Just needed some support.
00:23:07Anytime, Maggie.
00:23:46Jake, I'm too old for you.
00:23:56You don't feel that way to me.
00:24:01Maybe we should go over those invoices some other time.
00:24:10Right.
00:24:15I'm sorry if I was out of line.
00:24:16I'm sorry if I was out of line.
00:24:36Good morning.
00:24:38Good morning, Maggie.
00:24:39Somebody needs to measure those guest cottage windows today.
00:24:42I want to order the custom mill molding.
00:24:44I'll do it.
00:24:44Okay.
00:24:44You know what?
00:24:47I decided not to use those.
00:24:48We'll bring real tartans back from Scotland.
00:24:51Angus would have loved that.
00:24:53So, help me come up with a good name.
00:24:56Sam's Old Country Inn.
00:24:58That's boring.
00:25:02Sam's Opium Den and What Not Shop.
00:25:07Maggie.
00:25:08What?
00:25:09It's Jake, isn't it?
00:25:13Oh, my God.
00:25:14It is.
00:25:16So, what happened?
00:25:18And how was it?
00:25:19Maggie, come on.
00:25:20I'm your best friend.
00:25:21You're supposed to tell me everything, no matter how titillating or scandalous or graphic.
00:25:26So, tell.
00:25:27It was just a kiss.
00:25:29A kiss?
00:25:31Really?
00:25:31Oh, and what a kiss, huh?
00:25:35Oh, I love that first kiss feeling.
00:25:38It's just such a delicious, nutritious thing.
00:25:42It's good, huh?
00:25:44Mm-hmm.
00:25:45Oh, that is so great.
00:25:47I'm so happy for you.
00:25:48What fun.
00:25:49A fling.
00:25:50I'd like to talk to you about what happened yesterday.
00:26:10I, uh, I haven't kissed a woman in more than a year.
00:26:15I've just been trying to concentrate on my work.
00:26:24I knew that day we drove out here together that something was happening to me.
00:26:30To us.
00:26:33I started doing my best work wherever I thought you might see it.
00:26:37I didn't plan what happened yesterday, but I'm glad it did.
00:26:45How old are you?
00:26:47We're 12 years apart.
00:26:50I asked Sam, she told me.
00:26:53Oh.
00:26:54Sam.
00:26:55Look, the age thing doesn't...
00:26:58Doesn't matter to me at all.
00:27:02I have feelings for you, Maggie.
00:27:04I'm very flattered, Jake.
00:27:08I admire you and your work very much.
00:27:10But I don't think that we should, uh...
00:27:17I should be going.
00:27:20Maggie.
00:27:23If you're telling me you're not interested or that I don't have a chance, I'll accept that.
00:27:29I won't mention it again.
00:27:32I'm just asking you.
00:27:35Before you walk out that door, to be sure.
00:27:38Are you sure, Maggie?
00:28:04Are you sure, Maggie?
00:29:16Maggie, you know we stop now, we don't stop at all.
00:29:21Don't stop, Jake.
00:29:30These are really a little too conservative, but this is different.
00:29:33I like this. Is this hand-painted?
00:29:35I thought you might like it.
00:29:37It's very creative. Amy Cardell makes them.
00:29:40In fact, you might know Jake. He just moved over this way.
00:29:43I do know Jake Cardell.
00:29:45This woman's brother?
00:29:46Oh, no. Husband.
00:29:48Just moved over here to expand his business, she told me.
00:29:51It's her husband.
00:29:52Really?
00:29:53High school sweethearts.
00:29:55Married forever.
00:29:57How romantic.
00:30:03Hi.
00:30:04Find what you wanted?
00:30:05How'd it go?
00:30:06Yeah.
00:30:07Yeah, I, uh, I found something all right.
00:30:10Have I got news for you?
00:30:11Have I got news for you?
00:30:13Well, you go first.
00:30:16Well, can't you tell?
00:30:17Isn't it written all over my face?
00:30:20Uh, actually, it is.
00:30:23It's Jake, isn't it?
00:30:24Mm-hmm.
00:30:25I was in the guest cottage measuring the windows, and he came in, and...
00:30:29I never knew it could be like that, Sam.
00:30:32I mean, you were right.
00:30:34I feel ten years younger.
00:30:35I've never felt so alive or excited in my whole life,
00:30:38except when the twins were born.
00:30:43Well, aren't you happy for me?
00:30:45Yes.
00:30:46Yes.
00:30:48You all right?
00:30:48There's some iced tea in the kitchen or something stronger if you need it.
00:30:52Maggie, let me, let me ask you something.
00:30:54Um, you know how you read in those advice columns where people write in
00:30:59because they've discovered that the husband of a friend of theirs
00:31:03is having an affair with somebody, and they don't know whether to tell them or not?
00:31:06Yeah.
00:31:07You know, and then the columnist writes back and says, uh, don't tell her,
00:31:11because it'll only make her feel more miserable,
00:31:13and, uh, the friend may hate you for telling her.
00:31:16Mm-hmm.
00:31:17Mm-hmm.
00:31:18Do you think that advice is right?
00:31:20Well, I think it depends on the situation, but generally, yes.
00:31:25I mean, look at all the affairs Mark had.
00:31:27I would have been happier not knowing.
00:31:29Much happier.
00:31:30I did hate the people who told me.
00:31:32Okay.
00:31:32I'm gonna, I'm gonna go get some of that tea.
00:31:34Well, wait a minute.
00:31:37I just got interested.
00:31:39Now, somebody's husband is having an affair.
00:31:41Whose husband is it?
00:31:43Come on, you've got to tell me, who is it?
00:31:45You know, it's this woman named Amy, and you don't even know.

00:35:57is this happening
00:35:59are you telling me that jake is not good enough to go to pia's wedding
00:36:04is that because he's too young
00:36:06too handsome

00:39:23and she never told me
00:39:23i moved out

00:39:27time and
00:39:28distance i could
00:39:30learn to trust her again
00:39:32and a year passed
00:39:34and nothing changed
00:39:34i asked her
00:39:35i asked her for divorce

00:39:43and you got to sleep with an older woman
00:39:47how does that song go
00:39:50they're grateful as hell
00:39:51and they never tell
00:39:52and the older woman even has a little money

00:40:31to a kid who needs one
00:40:33as long as i have you

00:54:03I love you.
00:54:33I love you.
00:55:03I love warm summer evenings out here.
00:55:11I love the trees, I love the flowers, I love this house, I love my life.
00:55:20But most of all, I love you.
00:55:21I'm the happiest woman in the world.
00:55:26It's probably dangerous to be this happy.
00:55:33Jake, I have something to tell you.
00:55:36What's wrong?
00:55:46Amy's got cancer.
00:55:49It's ovarian cancer.
00:55:50Oh, Jake, I'm so sorry.
00:55:57Is she going to be all right?
00:55:59I don't know.
00:56:01They don't know.
00:56:02You know, the doctors never really know.
00:56:03Well, this changes things, doesn't it?
00:56:14Maggie, listen.
00:56:22Once the treatments are over, the cancer's in remission, we can get married then.
00:56:29I promise.
00:56:29But I can't turn my back on her now.
00:56:35No, of course you can't.
00:56:37I just told you I wanted to marry you.
00:56:42I know, Jake.
00:56:45And I believe you.
00:56:46But everybody knows that cancer can come back.
00:56:52In a week, in a year, who knows?
00:56:54When is Amy going to feel strong enough to let you go?
00:56:57And are you going to feel safe enough to leave her?
00:57:04An honorable man wouldn't divorce Amy now.
00:57:08And you're an honorable man.
00:57:12If you weren't, I wouldn't love you as much as I do.
00:57:16You know, I'm this close to having everything I ever wanted in my life.
00:57:35Maggie.
00:57:40Let's just take it a day to time, okay?
00:57:45Are you cold?
00:57:46Uh-uh.
00:57:49Amy.
00:57:51You better eat.
00:57:53I got all these groceries for you.
00:57:55I had a big lunch today.
00:57:59Maybe later, okay?
00:58:05It's not true.
00:58:07She tries to act like everything is okay.
00:58:09But it's not.
00:58:10It's not.
00:58:10Amy.
00:58:24I'm sorry I can't stay.
00:58:26I've got a hard day tomorrow.
00:58:28Okay.
00:58:29Mm-hmm.
00:58:33It's too bad.
00:58:35All your wife has tomorrow is chemotherapy.
00:58:44I'll be by on Thursday.
00:58:45If you need anything, just page me.
00:58:49Good night, Amy.
00:58:52Good night, Jake.
00:58:53What?
00:58:53I'm sorry I didn't want to wake you.
00:59:14Sorry I didn't want to wake you.
00:59:19I wasn't asleep.
00:59:22How is she?
00:59:26They give her poison.
00:59:30Carefully calculated doses of poison.
00:59:32I thought you were just going for their groceries.
00:59:45You've gone a long time.
00:59:47I don't have any clean shirts here.
00:59:49I'm going to leave early and go home.
00:59:53Stop by my house and go to work.
00:59:54I like this turquoise color, but this is hardly Key West, though it's hot enough to be.
01:00:16This is killing me, Sam.
01:00:20But I don't think he could bear it if I told him about the baby now.
01:00:23He's suffering so much already.
01:00:26Staying with me instead of going back to Amy?
01:00:29Telling him would only make it worse for him.
01:00:33Well, it's not the kind of secret you can keep forever.
01:00:36You were right.
01:00:37I was a fool to get involved.
01:00:39No, I was wrong.
01:00:41Everything I said was wrong.
01:00:45And my godchild is going to be gorgeous.
01:00:47Suddenly, everything seems like a bad dream.
01:00:54I can't believe this is happening.
01:00:56I can't believe this is real.
01:01:01You know the feeling.
01:01:02When they told me Angus had been killed,
01:01:05we had planned this great trip to Paris,
01:01:08and then he was dead.
01:01:09He was gone.
01:01:10Just like that.
01:01:11And all the love and brilliance and charm and potential.
01:01:18I was lost forever.
01:01:21Love meant nothing to whatever it is that causes planes to crash.
01:01:24And I was just sure that I had died with him.
01:01:28And then one day,
01:01:30I was just dragging myself over to have this argument with the contractor.
01:01:36And it was the wildest thing.
01:01:38Suddenly, I just felt Angus with me.
01:01:42I could feel his presence.
01:01:44You know, he was right there.
01:01:46And he was telling me what to say,
01:01:48you know, just like he'd always done.
01:01:49And this hard knot that I'd been carrying around in my chest for the longest time,
01:01:55it just dissolved.
01:01:58Love had conquered all, even death.
01:02:02I know you really love Jake.
01:02:05Don't give up.
01:02:06Something's bound to happen.
01:02:08You know,
01:02:17Angus really loved this blue.
01:02:24You just think positively and stay strong.
01:02:28Test results are good.
01:02:29When you feel better,
01:02:30you and Jake can adopt a child.
01:02:32I've lost Jake.
01:02:34You haven't lost him.
01:02:35He's still your husband.
01:02:36Mother.
01:02:38We don't even live together.
01:02:40He hasn't gotten the divorce.
01:02:42Comes by all the time.
01:02:45Don't you see, Amy?
01:02:47He still loves you.
01:02:49Oh, my God! Mother, my dad!
01:02:50Oh, my God!
01:02:52Oh, my God!
01:02:54No!
01:03:08I didn't know if I should come here or not.
01:03:21I didn't know if I should come here or not.
01:03:25I thought you'd like some clean clothes.
01:03:42Our mother didn't know if I could come here or not.
01:03:44I didn't know if I could come here or not.
01:03:47I'm sorry.
01:03:49Her mother didn't make it.
01:03:51I'm sorry.
01:04:00Amy.
01:04:05Amy's alone in the world now, you know.
01:04:09As if she hadn't had enough
01:04:14rotten things happen to her.
01:04:16I'm the one she's stuck with.
01:04:19You're too hard on yourself.
01:04:22You'll do the right thing.
01:04:24I'm losing track of what that is.
01:04:29Your place is with Amy now.
01:04:31We both know that.
01:04:34Even if you were with me,
01:04:37you wouldn't be with me.
01:04:39Do what you have to do, Jake.
01:04:44I release you from your promise.
01:05:09I'm losing track of what you have to do.
01:05:14I'm losing track of what you have to do.
01:05:18I'll be with you, Jake.
01:05:18I'll be with you.
01:05:19I'll be with you.
01:05:19I'll be with you.
01:05:29Oh, Jake.
01:05:43I'm losing track of what you have to do.
01:05:53I'll be with you.
01:05:54I'll be with you.
01:05:54I'll be with you.
01:05:55I'll be with you.
01:05:55I'll be with you.
01:06:07His father's name is Jake.
01:06:23No.
01:06:23No, there's been a complication.
01:06:27No, not with me, Peter.
01:06:28With the situation.
01:06:30Hannah, would you tell Peter to calm down?
01:06:32I'm going to explain it all when you get here.
01:06:34Yes.
01:06:38Yes, I do.
01:06:40I love him very much.
01:06:43Here, sit over.
01:06:47Oh.
01:06:48Is that okay?
01:06:49Yeah.
01:06:52What's that?
01:06:53Hey.
01:06:53Thanks for bringing me here, Jake.
01:06:57You're my wife, Amy.
01:07:00I've got some of the organic tea you like.
01:07:03Do you want some?
01:07:05Okay.
01:07:05Okay.
01:07:06Okay.
01:07:23Jake.
01:07:26Hi.
01:07:26Hi.
01:07:28What are you doing here?
01:07:29I'm sorry I show up unannounced.
01:07:30I would have called, but the battery and the cell phone died.
01:07:34I was out this way.
01:07:35I was halfway to the end, actually, when I realized I didn't have my plans with me.
01:07:38I thought maybe I could borrow yours.
01:07:42You still have a set at the house?
01:07:44Sure.
01:07:46They're inside.
01:07:49I'll just have to go inside.
01:07:52I don't think that way.
01:07:53No, it's all right.
01:07:53Maggie, are you pregnant?
01:08:06Is it ours?
01:08:07Yes.
01:08:14Why didn't you tell me?
01:08:16Why didn't you?
01:08:18I was going to tell you when I came home, but Amy was sick, and I thought you'd only suffer
01:08:23more knowing, and then when her mother died, I couldn't tell you.
01:08:26I didn't want to make it worse for you, and I wanted to tell you so much, Jake.
01:08:31I wanted to share this baby with you, but you were already committed, and I thought if I told
01:08:37you it would just tear you, it would just tear you apart, so I kept waiting for you to find
01:08:40the right moment.
01:08:43I guess this is it, huh?
01:08:44You didn't have to protect me, you know?
01:08:51I understand, though.
01:08:54So, how are you?
01:08:59Everything okay?
01:09:00Mm-hmm.
01:09:01Mm-hmm.
01:09:01We're fine.
01:09:02Look.
01:09:03Look.
01:09:04I've got...
01:09:06That's his head.
01:09:08Those are his arms.
01:09:10His legs.
01:09:10Him?
01:09:11Mm-hmm.
01:09:12It's a boy.
01:09:13Yes.
01:09:14He's going to be here in person in four months.
01:09:17April 15th, they say.
01:09:18Can I keep this?
01:09:23You know, depending on how Amy is, uh, you know what?
01:09:28Maybe I can...
01:09:33I'm sorry.
01:09:39You know I never meant for things to turn out this way.
01:09:42But I'll be a good father to the baby, I promise you that.
01:09:51I'll come over every chance I get.
01:09:53No, Jake.
01:09:53I don't want to see you.
01:09:56Why?
01:09:57It just makes it harder for me.
01:09:59I've had a lot of time to think about this.
01:10:02I knew from the start that I might have to raise this baby on my own, and that's what
01:10:05I'm going to do.
01:10:07So, of course I want you to see him.
01:10:09I want you to be with him, but...
01:10:12Later.
01:10:13You have to give me some time.
01:10:26I guess you better get that.
01:10:42You have to give me some time.
01:10:43That's what I'll do.
01:10:44I guess I'll do.
01:10:44I guess you better get that.
01:10:45I guess you better get that.
01:10:46What are you doing here?
01:11:07Trying to make my godchild come early?
01:11:09Oh, what a good idea.
01:11:12I'd forgotten how uncomfortable this gets.
01:11:14Yeah.
01:11:16You know, sometimes late at night, I'm all alone, and I feel my baby kicking.
01:11:24I'm ashamed of it, but I catch myself wishing that Amy would just...
01:11:30Oh, my God.
01:11:32Just die.
01:11:35Maggie, what Jake is going through is going to change him forever.
01:11:39He's not going to be the same person you knew.
01:11:41You've got to let him go.
01:11:43I know.
01:11:43Well, I read someplace that breaking up should be like breaking a bone, neat and quick, so it starts to heal.
01:11:50So this is what I did.
01:11:53It's easier this way.
01:11:56Yeah.
01:11:58I can see that.
01:12:00Whoa, honey, we've got to go.
01:12:01Come on, their plane is landing.
01:12:03Sam, I'm not ready.
01:12:04Oh, you're as ready as you'll ever be.
01:12:05Come on, let's go.
01:12:06Oh, I don't think so.
01:12:07The kids will be home any minute.
01:12:18Hey.
01:12:19Hi.
01:12:20Hey, Sam.
01:12:22How you doing?
01:12:23Hey, Sam.
01:12:24Where's Mom?
01:12:26No.
01:12:26Holy mackerel.
01:12:31Wow.
01:12:33Wow, you look great.
01:12:37I can't wait to meet Jake.
01:12:38Is he here?
01:12:40No.
01:12:41No, he's at home.
01:12:44With his wife.
01:12:47Oh.
01:12:49Wow.
01:12:51This really is complicated, isn't it?
01:12:53When you called to say that you were like this, I just assumed that...
01:12:59What's Dad going to say when he hears about this?
01:13:03Peter, what your father thinks of my life is irrelevant to me.
01:13:06I hope it is to you, too.
01:13:08Left you for that god-awful Jennifer.
01:13:09I'd say it's irrelevant to me.
01:13:11Good girl.
01:13:13I just can't approve of this.
01:13:15Oh.
01:13:20Well, proof once again that girls mature faster than boys.
01:13:25Wait till he finds out he's sleeping in the nursery.
01:13:32Will I ever meet Jake?
01:13:34Oh, I wouldn't count on it, honey.

01:18:18what's his name
01:18:20what's his name
01:18:21sam
01:18:25she called the baby sam
01:18:27she called the baby sam
01:18:45she called the baby
01:18:47she called the baby
01:18:49she called the baby
01:18:51This is Madame Butterfly, Sam.
01:19:04It's the story of a woman who falls in love with a man.
01:19:09And she has his baby.
01:19:13But he marries another woman.
01:19:16So she...
01:19:17Well, let's just say this isn't Cinderella.
01:19:27Well, your daddy could explain this a lot better if he was here.
01:19:32Oh, bless you.
01:19:34Oh, bless you.
01:19:43She's the one you had the affair with.
01:19:48That's when you and I were split up, Amy.
01:19:51I didn't consider it an affair.
01:19:54Maybe I was wrong about that, but I didn't.
01:19:59You're still my husband, Jake.
01:20:02I'm still here, Amy.
01:20:03That's not what I meant.
01:20:05There's a little of my mother's insurance money left.
01:20:09That'll go to you.
01:20:10Maybe, after the bills, there'll be something left for your son.
01:20:15Don't talk like that.
01:20:18I'm not afraid of it anymore, Jake.
01:20:21In fact, it feels like a relief.
01:20:25And I like the idea that I could do something for your baby.
01:20:29It feels right.
01:20:30I don't know what to say to that.
01:20:34There's nothing to say now.
01:20:38Not anymore.
01:20:39I didn't trust myself not to be like my mother.
01:20:46And it hurt so bad.
01:20:50To never satisfy her.
01:20:54And I didn't trust that I wouldn't do that to another helpless child.
01:20:59I wish you'd have told me you felt like that.
01:21:11Maybe we could have worked things out.
01:21:15I didn't understand it then.
01:21:22It's too late now.
01:21:29Don't wait too long after I'm gone, Jake.
01:21:33For your baby's sake.
01:21:38Too much has happened, Amy.
01:21:41Too much has changed.
01:21:44For her.
01:21:45Or for you.
01:21:59What are you doing there?
01:22:05Hmm?
01:22:06What else?
01:22:10Oh, I love you.
01:22:15I love you.
01:22:16I love you.
01:22:26Oh, Jake.
01:22:35I'm so sorry.
01:22:46Haven't you seen him do that?
01:22:48He'll look at you in a certain way and he looks just like Jake.
01:22:54Speaking of Jake.
01:22:57Alice heard he took off a few weeks ago.
01:23:00Apparently, he put his things in storage, let the lease on the house go and just disappeared.
01:23:08I don't think he's coming back, Maggie.
01:23:10I know. I just didn't want to know.
01:23:21That print's all wrong.
01:23:24Did I tell you my November occupancy was 95%?
01:23:28Yes, you did. And I did not pick this print. The client did.
01:23:32I'm going to lunch.
01:23:34See you, Alice.
01:23:35I want you to taste this dressing that my chef is making for Christmas.
01:23:47I think the man needs a raise or some other employee benefit, if you know what I mean.
01:23:53Mmm. Don't do that, Sam.
01:23:55What do you mean? I think it's delicious.
01:23:58Little Sam put a tape measure in his mouth.
01:24:00Now, see? There you go.
01:24:11This is why I didn't want you to name that match with me.
01:24:13Because look at the confusion it causes.
01:24:15You say the name's Sam, and everybody turns around.
01:24:20And when you can walk, just think how nuts it's going to drive us.
01:24:29Well, we'll leave the two of you.
01:24:31It's all right, Sam. You can stay.
01:24:35I think he's old enough to hear this.
01:24:36Of course.
01:24:39What was I thinking?
01:24:43Call me.
01:24:51Sam looks good.
01:24:54She's happy.
01:24:56Ian's doing really well, and she bought out her investors.
01:24:59No, I meant that, Sam.
01:25:01Of course.
01:25:03Well, he's happy, too.
01:25:04He's healthy and smart.
01:25:08He's a little clown.
01:25:11I take him with me most of the time.
01:25:14I'd like to hold him.
01:25:16All right.
01:25:32Hey, Sam.
01:25:33Hey, Sam.
01:25:34I'm your dad.
01:25:38I play opera for him.
01:25:41I try to tell him the stories.
01:25:43He likes his own books better.
01:25:44Ducks and chicks, mostly.
01:25:49Look at him.
01:25:52He's okay.
01:25:53He's perfect.
01:25:54Yeah?
01:25:56God, look what you did.
01:25:57My pleasure.
01:25:59My pleasure.
01:25:59Except for those last eight hours.
01:26:03I would have been there, Maggie.
01:26:04I'm sorry.
01:26:05I know I'm taking my chances coming here when you told me to stay away, but the only thing that kept me going all that time was thinking that maybe you told me to stay away just to protect yourself.
01:26:17Is it right?
01:26:19Is it right?
01:26:20Is it right?
01:26:22You can tell me the truth.
01:26:23I can take it, but I need to know.
01:26:24You were right.
01:26:28I had to go away, Maggie.
01:26:33I had to think.
01:26:34I had to be sure I wasn't acting out of loneliness or guilt or grief.
01:26:41After all you've been through, I thought you deserve that.
01:26:47Maybe he's not old enough to hear this.
01:26:50Hear what?
01:26:51I don't know how healthy it is for a child to hear his father propose to his mother.
01:26:58Well, he won't remember anything.
01:27:02Just in case.
01:27:04Hey, buddy.
01:27:06Sam.
01:27:09In the future, I will try to set a better example.
01:27:16I love you.
01:27:19I give you my word.
01:27:20I always will.
01:27:21Maggie's real.
01:27:26Will you marry me?
01:27:32I thought you'd never ask.
01:27:37Let's go, Maggie.
01:27:39I've come to take my family home.
01:27:41I love you.
