00:35:22you saw a person in need and helped them
00:35:25it's what anyone would do

00:35:29no it isn't
00:35:31claire you make me feel human again

00:36:14all of it
00:36:16yes
00:36:17i was engaged to hunter
00:36:19but it was never love
00:36:20it was a deal my mother forced on me
00:36:23it was a duty security
00:36:25it was a prison
00:36:27so what you just forgot to mention that you already belong to someone else
00:36:35is that what the engagement ring was in your coat pocket
00:36:39engagement ring
00:36:40oh god
00:36:42claire
00:36:43that ring was never mine
00:36:45it's something my mother gave me to try to force me back to hunter
00:36:49i never belonged to hunter
00:36:51i never belonged to anyone
00:36:52and that's the point
00:36:54for the first time in my life i feel free with you
00:36:58don't say things like that
00:36:59oh my god you think i want this
00:37:01you think i'm not tearing myself apart every second i'm near you
00:37:06i left my old life because i couldn't breathe
00:37:09my father had passed away
00:37:11my mother's grip was iron and
00:37:14hunter was a leash around my neck
00:37:16then why do you still let them control you
00:37:19because until you i never knew what it felt like to want more
00:37:22look every
00:37:24smile with hunter was staged
00:37:26every word was rehearsed
00:37:28until i stumbled into your bakery
00:37:30and you changed everything
00:37:33i want to believe him
00:37:35but if i do i'll lose everything when he breaks me again
00:37:39claire

00:39:43I'm fine, I'm okay
00:39:44But you, he had a knife
00:39:45You shouldn't have attacked him
00:39:47I had to, I could alone hurt you
00:39:51Your arm
00:39:52No, I'm fine, it's fine
00:39:53Besides, it's okay, I know that you're safe, all right?

00:39:58Nick
00:39:58But you can count on me, always
00:40:02If this is what it feels like to be loved by him
00:40:04How could I ever let it go?
00:40:07Thank you, officer
00:40:08If I think of anything else, I'll let you know

00:40:33You should go
00:40:35I've got this
00:40:41Okay
00:40:42Well, if you need me, then
00:40:44I won't
00:40:52Come home by Christmas Eve
00:40:54Or you lose everything
00:40:59You don't scare me
00:41:00Don't play the hero
00:41:01I don't just want you married in the new year
00:41:04I want you married to Hunter
00:41:05She has proof, Nicholas
00:41:07Proof that your little marriage is fake
00:41:10Enough to ruin her
00:41:11Unless something unfortunate happens first
00:41:15This town used to be so safe
00:41:18What is this world coming to?
00:41:20You could have killed her
00:41:21As if anyone would care
00:41:23She's just a nobody from some dead-end town
00:41:26You touch her again
00:41:27And I swear you'll be sorry
00:41:29Dad isn't here to protect you anymore
00:41:31You try it
00:41:33Your father would be rolling over in his grave
00:41:36Try me
00:41:39Every step feels heavier
00:41:41I finally found someone who sees me
00:41:44The man, not the name
00:41:45And now I have to walk away
00:41:47From her
00:41:49From Sophie
00:41:51From a life that could have been mine
00:41:54Nick
00:41:55How are you?
00:41:58I've been better
00:41:59Well
00:42:01One of the judges said
00:42:02He saw you and Claire
00:42:04Having a spat
00:42:06With someone at the gala
00:42:07What?
00:42:08I told him that you and Claire are solid
00:42:11I'm not so sure
00:42:13You love her, don't you?
00:42:15Yeah
00:42:16I do love her
00:42:18Good
00:42:18Just lean into that, huh?
00:42:21And you'll surely win
00:42:22Huh?
00:42:25Hey, I'll see you on Christmas Eve
00:42:27Thank you, Mary
00:42:27All right
00:42:28Good night
00:42:36I could have lost everything tonight
00:42:38All that I built
00:42:40For myself
00:42:41For Sophie
00:42:42All of it
00:42:43We're still here
00:42:45Still standing
00:42:52Well
00:42:53You're resilient
00:42:54I'll give you that
00:42:57But resilience
00:42:58Won't protect you
00:42:59From what's coming
00:43:01We're closed
00:43:02Let's not waste time
00:43:05You want money?
00:43:07I can make you comfortable
00:43:08Very comfortable
00:43:10I don't want your money
00:43:13Everyone wants money, darling
00:43:16Especially
00:43:18Single moms
00:43:19With
00:43:20Struggling bakeries
00:43:22You think you can buy me off
00:43:23Like you buy everything else?
00:43:25As if Nick were a thing to own
00:43:27Not a man
00:43:28Not the man
00:43:30Nick and I are not for sale
00:43:32Nick will never choose you
00:43:35Over his real life
00:43:37Do you know what it costs
00:43:39To be a Rudolph?
00:43:41Nick's never lived without it
00:43:42He doesn't know how
00:43:44He will resent you
00:43:46For making him lose everything
00:43:49And he will blame you for it
00:43:51When the glitter fades
00:43:52I don't scare easily
00:43:55Lillian
00:43:58We'll see
00:44:01Last chance
00:44:02Be smart
00:44:05Take the money
00:44:06He deserves so much better
00:44:08Than the life you caged him in
00:44:10And I deserve better than your bribes
00:44:12So be it
00:44:18Nick will hate you
00:44:19Blame you for losing everything
00:44:27Clean this up
00:44:28It's disgusting
00:44:31She's wrong
00:44:32She has to be wrong
00:44:33But why
00:44:35Why does her voice sound so certain?
00:44:40We were lucky
00:44:41If Nick showed up one minute later
00:44:44I wouldn't be here
00:44:45Sophie wouldn't have a mother
00:44:47Nick saved us
00:44:48But how do I trust a man who lies?
00:44:53I want to tell her everything
00:44:55But every time I try
00:44:57I'm interrupted
00:44:57Or I say the wrong thing
00:44:59And I just end up pushing her further away
00:45:09I should report you to the police
00:45:11For sending the attacker
00:45:12I only heard about the attack
00:45:14After the fact
00:45:14And honestly
00:45:15I was horrified
00:45:17Yeah
00:45:18Horrified it didn't work
00:45:19That's a disgusting accusation
00:45:21And one you would need proof
00:45:23In a court of law
00:45:25Oh I know
00:45:26Just like I know
00:45:27It would never get traced back to you
00:45:30Seems you haven't lost all your smarts after all
00:45:33Okay enough games
00:45:35If you and Hunter back off
00:45:37Just long enough
00:45:37For Claire to win the contest
00:45:40I will do what you want
00:45:43Come home for Christmas Day
00:45:45Marry Hunter in the new year
00:45:47And then
00:45:49Claire's little bakery will be safe
00:45:51It was never about Hunter was it
00:45:53It was about destroying Claire
00:45:56Destroying Claire
00:45:57That girl will destroy you
00:45:59She will take everything
00:46:02And when the lights fade
00:46:04You
00:46:05Will resent Claire
00:46:07Just like I warned her
00:46:08You want me home Christmas Day
00:46:10Fine
00:46:11I'll be there
00:46:13But do not mistake this
00:46:15For obedience
00:46:16Because the second Claire is safe
00:46:18I will tear down everything you've built
00:46:19And when I do
00:46:20It won't be Hunter standing next to me
00:46:23It'll be Claire
00:46:24We'll see about that
00:46:26She thinks she's won
00:46:28She has no idea how far I'll go for Claire
00:46:31Hello Holly Creek
00:46:33And welcome to the annual Holly Creek
00:46:36Merrily Married Christmas Couple Contest
00:46:39The attack
00:46:41Hunter smirk in my bakery
00:46:43That ring box
00:46:44I can't unsee any of it
00:46:46I can't stop wishing none of it was true
00:46:48So our first competition
00:46:50Is the three-legged race
00:46:52So I want you to give it up
00:46:54For our couples
00:46:55Mike and Michelle
00:46:57And Claire and Nick
00:46:59She doesn't know the truth
00:47:00But I'm playing along with my mother
00:47:02Only to shield her
00:47:03Are you almost done?
00:47:06Yeah
00:47:07On your mark
00:47:09Get set
00:47:10And go!
00:47:30You are enjoying this way too much
00:47:33Guilty
00:47:34I shouldn't want this
00:47:36I shouldn't want him
00:47:37But I do
00:47:38I want to fix this
00:47:40You deserve better than all this
00:47:42And I swear
00:47:43I'm going to make it up to you
00:47:44Alright
00:47:45Is it Nick and Claire?
00:47:50Or
00:47:51Mike and Michelle?
00:47:57I can't let myself want him again
00:47:59Not when he's tangled too deep in their world
00:48:03This is all I get
00:48:04These stolen moments
00:48:06I'll make every one of them count
00:48:08And that was the last time we ate shellfish
00:48:11I love you
00:48:17Yes, well
00:48:18Thank you, Mike
00:48:19That was
00:48:21Beautiful
00:48:22How do you tell the truth in front of the world
00:48:25When you don't even know if it's real anymore?
00:48:28I won't let her stand up here alone
00:48:31Um, now for our last couple
00:48:33They will now share their love story
00:48:41When Nick showed up
00:48:43I didn't believe in love
00:48:46I believed in working hard
00:48:47Keeping my head down
00:48:49And
00:48:50Making Sophie's life brighter than mine ever was
00:48:57And
00:48:57This
00:48:59Mysterious stranger
00:49:02Turned everything upside down
00:49:05He made me laugh when I wanted to cry
00:49:09He made me believe that I deserved more than just
00:49:12Survival
00:49:14I hate him for lying
00:49:15But I can't lie to myself
00:49:19I love him
00:49:26I had a life that looked perfect
00:49:28But
00:49:29Valhalla
00:49:30And then I met Claire
00:49:31And she saw me
00:49:32Not
00:49:33What was in my bank account
00:49:34Just
00:49:35Me
00:49:39And I never knew I could feel this alive
00:49:41And if I could only carry one
00:49:42Christmas memory with me forever
00:49:45It would be seeing Claire's smile through that bakery window
00:49:47Because the moment I saw that
00:49:51I knew it was home
00:49:55And I'll fight like hell
00:49:57Not to lose her
00:50:08Nick
00:50:09It's you
00:50:11It's always been you
00:50:21I think that goes without saying
00:50:24This year's contest winners are
00:50:26Claire and
00:50:28Nick
00:50:30We got what we wanted
00:50:37We won
00:50:39I can't do this drama anymore
00:50:43You can stay for Christmas morning
00:50:45For Sophie's sake
00:50:47And then you have to go home
00:50:49Claire listen to me
00:50:50I don't want Hunter
00:50:51I don't want any of this
00:50:52I want you
00:50:53If I let myself believe him
00:50:55I'll burn
00:50:56And I can't drag Sophie into the fire
00:51:04Bye bitch
00:51:06Well that was quite the kiss
00:51:08I don't think you've ever kissed me like that
00:51:11Because I never loved you
00:51:13As if love had anything to do with us
00:51:17Look you got your deal
00:51:19I played along for mother
00:51:21But don't mistake it as a victory
00:51:24As soon as I can find a way
00:51:26You both lose me for good
00:51:28How do you tell someone they saved you
00:51:30That they made you want to stay
00:51:34I love how you wrinkle your nose when you taste the frosting
00:51:38How you hum when you think no one's listening
00:51:42How you see Sophie
00:51:43And really see her
00:51:47And how you looked at me like I was worth something
00:51:53She'll find it when I'm gone
00:51:55And maybe
00:51:57She'll know
00:51:59Yes yes I know
00:52:00I will get carrots for the reindeer
00:52:02I'll see you when you get home
00:52:15Foolish trusting little Claire
00:52:17You never leave your spare key under your doormat
00:52:20You're basically inviting an intruder
00:52:23Not like anybody would want to come in
00:52:48Sophie will be awake soon
00:52:49Let's just try to give her the perfect Christmas morning before you go
00:53:08Sophie will be awake soon
00:53:10Let's just try to give her the perfect Christmas morning before you go
00:53:18Time to go Nicholas
00:53:20Excuse me?
00:53:21Why are you here so early?
00:53:22We haven't had Christmas morning yet
00:53:24To file that under things I couldn't care less about
00:53:26You promised me
00:53:28Now it's time to go
00:53:29You can't just barge in here
00:53:31I can
00:53:32And I did
00:53:34Come now Nicholas
00:53:35Or I'll ruin Claire publicly
00:53:38Right here right now
00:53:41Your time is up
00:53:43Annulment papers
00:53:44Sign them
00:53:45And the bakery stays open
00:53:48You two remain contest winners
00:53:51No scandal
00:53:52No mess
00:53:53You still think you can buy me off?
00:53:55This is not about you
00:53:57I am saving my son from making a mistake
00:54:00She is not a mistake
00:54:03Don't ever say that again
00:54:05Then prove it
00:54:06By letting her keep her dream
00:54:07And walking away
00:54:10You promised me you would marry Hunter Nicholas
00:54:13Do not go back on your word now
00:54:15If I play this right
00:54:16I can turn my mother's game back on her
00:54:19Nick
00:54:21Don't do this for me
00:54:24Do it for you if that's what you want
00:54:26Claire
00:54:27I need you to trust me
00:54:29Even if I can't say why
00:54:31Be smart Nicholas
00:54:33One signature
00:54:36Ink
00:54:37Or ruin
00:54:44Your choice
00:54:45Your choice
00:54:49This
00:54:52This was a mistake
00:54:58Just sign the damn papers Claire
00:55:04It's really what you want
00:55:05It's not
00:55:07God
00:55:08It's not
00:55:08Wise choice
00:55:11No
00:55:12No
00:55:13Don't go
00:55:14Oh baby
00:55:15I thought you loved us
00:55:21Idiot child
00:55:26It was only for the contest
00:55:30Tell her Nick
00:55:35It was only for the contest
00:55:38See
00:55:40As if he could ever love
00:55:42The two of you
00:55:44No
00:55:46Bastard
00:55:48I will never forgive you for this
00:55:50I don't need your forgiveness
00:55:51Just your obedience
00:55:55Come now Nick
00:55:56Back to where you really belong
00:55:59It's okay
00:56:11He was the first thing I ever
00:56:14It's over
00:56:16Stop calling
00:56:20You don't speak for me
00:56:21If you call her again
00:56:23I will make sure
00:56:24That her bakery burns to the ground
00:56:27By morning
00:56:28An unfortunate accident
00:56:30Tragic
00:56:33Hang in there Claire
00:56:34I'll figure this out
00:56:39I love you
00:56:42Please Nick
00:56:43Call me
00:56:48Why doesn't Nick love us
00:56:50Honey
00:56:51It's complicated
00:56:52You always say it's complicated
00:56:53Does he love us or not?
00:56:57I think so
00:56:59And do you love him?
00:57:02I think so
00:57:03See
00:57:04It's not complicated
00:57:06She's got a point
00:57:08I really wish
00:57:09It was that simple
00:57:10If I trust him
00:57:12I could lose everything
00:57:15If I don't trust him
00:57:16I've already lost him
00:57:21That's weird
00:57:28If you want the truth
00:57:29Meet me in New York City
00:57:31On New Year's Eve
00:57:32He's still reaching for me
00:57:34What is it?
00:57:37Mom?
00:57:39It's
00:57:41A chance
00:57:46So
00:57:46Why don't you
00:57:47Go to your room
00:57:48For a little bit
00:57:49I need to talk to Tessa
00:57:51Mom
00:57:51So
00:57:52Fine
00:57:53I'm taking this with me
00:58:02Nick didn't want
00:58:03That annulment
00:58:04You saw his face
00:58:06Claire
00:58:06This must be breaking him
00:58:09This is crazy
00:58:10A chance
00:58:12He signed the papers
00:58:13I signed the papers
00:58:15That's the end
00:58:16Or maybe he was protecting you
00:58:18The only way he knew
00:58:20He's been fighting his family
00:58:21Every step of this
00:58:23He didn't want to walk away
00:58:25I didn't want him to walk away
00:58:28So don't let it end like this
00:58:32What if I go
00:58:33And he's already with Hunter
00:58:35Then at least you'll know
00:58:37If I go
00:58:38I could break all over again
00:58:40If I stay
00:58:42I already am
00:58:45Come to me Claire
00:58:46Let me make this right
00:58:48I'll fight for us
00:58:49If you walk through that door
00:58:51Your car's here
00:58:53This is crazy
00:58:54I can't just go to New York
00:58:56On a maybe
00:58:57Yes you can
00:58:58Because that maybe
00:59:01That's the man you love
00:59:05Do I?
00:59:06Or do I just want to believe in him?
00:59:08For once in your life
00:59:10Let yourself be crazy in love
00:59:12And go get your accidental
00:59:13Christmas husband back
00:59:15That's exactly what this feels like
00:59:17Crazy in love
00:59:20But Sophie
00:59:22She loves him too
00:59:24If there's even a chance
00:59:26I owe her this
00:59:28Okay I'm going
00:59:30For her
00:59:32And for me
00:59:33Good
00:59:35I'll watch her while you're gone
00:59:36But hey when you're back
00:59:38I want a fairy tale ending
00:59:41Oh my god
01:00:03If I may say a few words
01:00:06As you all know
01:00:07It has been a very difficult year
01:00:10My husband passing
01:00:12Company in chaos
01:00:14And my son
01:00:16Going off to find himself
01:00:19But as every good mother knows
01:00:22Sometimes you need to let your children spread their wings
01:00:26And as every good son does
01:00:28My Nicholas returned home
01:00:31With that said
01:00:33Please
01:00:34Help me
01:00:36Welcome
01:00:36The future
01:00:38Mr. and Mrs.
01:00:40Nicholas
01:00:41And Hunter
01:00:42Rudolph
01:00:45This isn't me
01:00:47It never was
01:00:49Smile
01:00:50Pretend you're happy
01:00:51We're so grateful
01:00:53You all came to celebrate our joy
01:00:56All I see is her face
01:00:58Even when she's not here
01:01:00Especially when she's not here
01:01:14I'm too late
01:01:15He's already theirs
01:01:16She came
01:01:18Don't you dare
01:01:19Remember what your father wanted
01:01:22Dad would want me to be happy
01:01:23Don't you dare
01:01:27What's she doing here
01:01:29Security
01:01:30Get her out of here
01:01:33Touch her
01:01:33And you'll answer to me
01:01:35Nick
01:01:36My love
01:01:36What are you doing
01:01:37Nicholas
01:01:38Don't do anything you'll regret
01:01:39I lost her once
01:01:41I won't let her go again
01:01:42He still wants me
01:01:44Even now
01:01:45Nick
01:01:45If you walk towards her
01:01:47You burn everything down
01:01:48The empire
01:01:50The fortune
01:01:51Your father's name
01:01:53Maybe everything needs to burn
01:02:04How dare you
01:02:05You're all fired
01:02:06Claire my feelings for you
01:02:08Have never been fake
01:02:10You're the best thing
01:02:11That's ever happened to me
01:02:12Nicholas
01:02:13Do not do something
01:02:14You will regret
01:02:15You humiliated me
01:02:17Nick
01:02:18Nicholas
01:02:18That's quite enough
01:02:20I am telling you now
01:02:21Come to your senses
01:02:22Before you ruin everything
01:02:24I ruined everything
01:02:25The moment I let you
01:02:26Control my life
01:02:29This is me trying to fix it
01:02:32Claire you saved me
01:02:34Literally
01:02:36You cared about me
01:02:36When you didn't think
01:02:37I had anything
01:02:38I can't lose you again
01:02:40Not to them
01:02:42This nobody
01:02:43She'll destroy you
01:02:46Destroy me
01:02:48She's the only one
01:02:49Who's tried to put me
01:02:50Back together
01:02:51Do you feel the same way
01:02:57Yes
01:02:59I love you
01:03:00Nick
01:03:01As crazy as this all is
01:03:03And as fast as it happened
01:03:04I do
01:03:05I love you
01:03:10I choose her
01:03:12I choose love
01:03:13I choose my life
01:03:14Not the one you tried to buy from me
01:03:17You'll regret this
01:03:23Nicholas
01:03:24You are no longer a Rudolph
01:03:27Get out of my sight
01:03:30Gladly
01:03:31But hear this mother
01:03:32If you ever try to come after Claire again
01:03:34I'll publish all our family's dirty secrets
01:03:37And I know you don't want that
01:03:39Get out of here
01:03:40Get out
01:03:41Both of you
01:03:43Let's go home
01:03:44Yes please
01:03:50No, no, no
01:03:51No, not
01:03:51No, Aaron
01:03:52Come back
01:03:53Come back
01:03:54It's not midnight yet
01:03:55No, no, you can't leave
01:03:57The ball hasn't dropped
01:04:07I'm glad I lost you
01:04:10You'll never lose me
01:04:11Not again
01:04:15Claire
01:04:16Claire, I don't care about the money
01:04:17The empire
01:04:18Or the name
01:04:19The only life I want
01:04:22Is one with you
01:04:24You mean it?
01:04:26Even after everything?
01:04:28Especially after everything
01:04:30You're the only thing that's ever been real
01:04:34You chose me
01:04:37And I choose you
01:04:48Happy New Year
01:04:51I love you, Claire
01:04:52I love you too
01:04:54As well
01:05:04As well
01:05:05Thank you
01:05:05Thank you
01:05:06It looks beautiful
01:05:09Oh thank you
01:05:12Seriously?
01:05:15Relax
01:05:15I just set an alert on my phone
01:05:18You're gonna want to see this
01:05:20Mm-hmm
01:05:30I have a question
01:05:32Can I
01:05:33Maybe
01:05:34Call you dad?
01:05:36I had been chasing the wrong family my whole life
01:05:39But now
01:05:40I found it
01:05:41Nothing would make me happier
01:05:46This is it
01:05:47The family I never thought I'd have
01:05:49The life I never dared to dream
01:05:52I love you, Nick Rudolph
01:05:54Should all the acquaintance be
01:06:00Forgotten and
01:06:01Agor,過warted to mind
01:06:04Will I drink
01:06:07A cup of flight
01:06:09Ness for the sake
01:06:12Of all black time
01:06:17Love, love, love, love
