00:00:08Oh, dear. Hey!
00:00:10I want you to get your head out of these architecture books, Hallie, and finally go out with me.
00:00:15Never in a million years, Dirk Dingle.
00:00:19I want your book back. Why don't you come and get it?
00:00:22Come on. Hey!
00:00:24Listen, don't fight this, okay? We will be together eventually.
00:00:27Get off me!
00:00:28Hey, don't fight me, okay?
00:00:36Ow! You bitch!
00:00:41She said she's not interested, bro!
00:00:44Rick Brody. Oh, you always gotta play the hero, huh?
00:00:47Yeah, go ahead. You're one demerit away from getting thrown out of this school.
00:00:51You don't want your book back so bad?
00:00:53Alright, you take it.
00:00:56No!
00:01:06No!
00:01:07No! This is gonna cost a fortune to replace!
00:01:11You can have mine.
00:01:13No, I couldn't.
00:01:15Yeah, you could. I've seen you in class. You are brilliant.
00:01:20I'm gonna get way more use out of this than I ever would.
00:01:32Do you want to grab lunch? Or keep studying?
00:01:40Yeah.
00:01:40Yeah.
00:01:41Yeah?
00:01:41Grab lunch.
00:01:42We're doing great.
00:01:49When did you two get back from the honeymoon?
00:01:51Just an hour ago.
00:01:53And this was waiting for me when I got back.
00:01:55I got in, Daddy!
00:01:57The Young Architects Program in Paris.
00:01:59It's a dream come true!
00:02:01Huh.
00:02:02And, when we get back, we're gonna rebuild this town.
00:02:07Together.
00:02:10Allie, give me some ice.
00:02:12Sure, Daddy.
00:02:17Are you two insane?
00:02:19Rebuild this town? This town is dying.
00:02:22And I want my daughter as far away from it as possible.
00:02:25Uh, but, sir, we have a plan.
00:02:29We even applied to adopt a child.
00:02:31Even more reason to end this now before you keep her trapped here forever.
00:02:36I promised Allie's mother before she passed away that I would take care of our daughter.
00:02:41She deserves more than this two-bed town.
00:02:43And quite frankly, she deserves more than you.
00:02:46But, sir, I love her more than anything.
00:02:49I promise I will always take care of her.
00:02:52And you think that's important?
00:02:56She's going to be a world-class architect.
00:02:58You, you're...
00:03:00You're a local boy with a hammer.
00:03:03If you truly loved her, you'd let her go.
00:03:06Let her make something of herself!
00:03:08Deep down, you know I'm right.
00:03:11Here.
00:03:16This should be enough.
00:03:18I want her on that plane alone.
00:03:25I want her on that plane alone.
00:03:31For Mr. and Mrs. Craig Brody.
00:03:34We just got married.
00:03:36I got into an architecture program at Paris, and my new husband is coming with me.
00:03:41Actually, I'm not coming with you, Allie.
00:03:44What? Why?
00:03:45You think I want to just sit around while you study crumbling buildings?
00:03:50You're never going to be a real architect.
00:03:53The world is going to chew you up and spit you out, and it's going to be too pathetic for
00:03:58me to watch.
00:04:00Um, what, but...
00:04:03No, what about our plans?
00:04:06We were trying to start a family together.
00:04:09No, the last person I'd want to start a family with is you, Allie.
00:04:13I want a divorce.
00:04:15No, no, but where is this coming from?
00:04:18No.
00:04:20Hi, Craig baby.
00:04:22Are you seeing Trista now?
00:04:25Just, just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:04:29Craig, no, what?
00:04:34I thought you believed in me.
00:04:36Ma'am, boarding is closing. Are you coming or not?
00:04:42Ma'am, boarding is closing. Are you coming or not?
00:04:47Yes, but I'd like to change my ticket to one way.
00:04:57Miss Filtner! Miss Filtner, you were just recognized by Time Magazine's top CEO to watch,
00:05:02and your company is taking the New York architecture scene by storm.
00:05:06What's next for you?
00:05:07Um, I don't know. Taking over the world?
00:05:10Well, you and your boyfriend, billionaire politician Ned Vogel, are quite the power couple.
00:05:15He must be so proud.
00:05:17I'm not doing any of this for a man's approval.
00:05:19Well, the word on the street is he's planning on proposing.
00:05:22You must be the luckiest girl in the world.
00:05:26The luckiest girl in the world?
00:05:28Right.
00:05:29Miss Filtner, I-
00:05:40Oh, my God.
00:05:45Allie Bildner, you are the most impressive woman I've ever met. You are my soulmate.
00:06:04Will you marry me?
00:06:08Will you marry me?
00:06:11Will you marry me?
00:06:20Allie?
00:06:22Allie?
00:06:23Allie?
00:06:24You're really leaving me to sweat here.
00:06:27And this suit is way too expensive for that.
00:06:29The most eligible bachelor in the country is proposing to me.
00:06:33So why am I thinking about Craig?
00:06:35He was a jerk and a liar.
00:06:37And I need to move on with my life.
00:06:42Of course, I'll marry you.
00:06:52This ring must have cost a fortune.
00:06:55You're so lucky.
00:06:57When's the wedding?
00:06:58Ned wants to get married as soon as possible.
00:07:01Oh, you know, Hallie would love a hot tea.
00:07:06We have a problem.
00:07:08And that is?
00:07:09You're already married.
00:07:12To a Craig Brody?
00:07:17He never signed the divorce papers?
00:07:22So you're still married?
00:07:24He was my high school sweetheart.
00:07:27We got married.
00:07:30But it didn't work out.
00:07:32I thought he had signed the divorce papers.
00:07:34You thought?
00:07:34Yes.
00:07:35Hallie, the election is in six weeks.
00:07:37This could ruin my campaign.
00:07:39Just imagine the headlines.
00:07:41Senator's fiancee.
00:07:42Already a wife?
00:07:43I will get him to sign the papers.
00:07:45You better.
00:07:47Or there won't be a future for us, Hallie.
00:07:51I gotta take this.
00:07:52It's my campaign manager.
00:07:54But this is important.
00:07:55Yeah, so is this.
00:08:00Clarence.
00:08:00Clarence.
00:08:00What's going on, buddy?
00:08:01Talk to me.
00:08:07Motherfucker.
00:08:25I never thought I'd hear from you again, hon.
00:08:32Thanks for meeting me here, Trista.
00:08:35So, you really ended it with her.
00:08:38What does it look like?
00:08:41Yeah.
00:08:42She's really gone.
00:08:44Good.
00:08:45So, there's this romantic movie playing at Cinema 6.
00:08:48I thought me and you can go and watch and we can cuddle.
00:08:52We're not going anywhere together, Trista.
00:08:55My heart still belongs to Hallie.
00:08:57And it always will.
00:09:00I don't understand.
00:09:02Sometimes, when you truly love someone,
00:09:07you have to let them go.
00:09:09No matter how much it hurts.
00:09:14Thank you for your help.
00:09:21I hate you, Hallie Brody!
00:09:30Your call has been forwarded to an automatic-
00:09:34Fine.
00:09:35You want me to come after you, Craig Brody?
00:09:39I will.
00:09:49Leave the bag. I'll be five minutes.
00:09:52Leave the bag. I'll be five minutes.
00:10:10It's been seven years, Craig Brody, and you broke my heart.
00:10:14Somehow, the pieces still beat for you.
00:10:23Allie!
00:10:25What?
00:10:26What are you doing here, Allie?
00:10:28Well, someone never signed the divorce papers, so we're still married.
00:10:32Sign the papers, Craig.
00:10:35I can't sign them.
00:10:37You can't?
00:10:39It's...complicated.
00:10:40Then let me make it simple.
00:10:42I'm supposed to get married to, God, the man of my dreams, in six weeks.
00:10:47Only, the funny thing is, my ex-husband never signed the divorce papers.
00:10:52You're engaged.
00:10:53Yes, Craig!
00:10:54Or did you think I would never move on from you?
00:10:57Sign the papers!
00:10:58I can't sign them.
00:11:00Why not?
00:11:01There's something I have to tell you.
00:11:03Mommy!
00:11:05Oh, oh, ah.
00:11:11I can't sign them.
00:11:13Why not?
00:11:14Because we have a daughter together.
00:11:16And I never told you.
00:11:22You're finally approved.
00:11:26After all this time.
00:11:29You even remember?
00:11:35We're sorry.
00:11:37You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:11:42Mommy!
00:11:43I'm sorry, but, um, I'm not your mommy.
00:11:47Yes, you are.
00:11:48You are my mommy.
00:11:50Tell her, Daddy.
00:11:51Uh...
00:11:51Uh, Craig?
00:11:52What is she talking about?
00:11:53Natalie, why don't you go grab the nest?
00:11:55Because I said we'd go catch bullfrogs, remember?
00:11:57Okay.
00:11:58Is Mommy coming with us?
00:12:00No, Mommy and Daddy need to have a chat.
00:12:02Alright?
00:12:03Okay, Daddy.
00:12:06Do you want to tell me what the hell is going on?
00:12:12Well...
00:12:15Allie didn't come here to get back together.
00:12:17She came here to divorce me.
00:12:19And I have to let her move on.
00:12:26I tracked you down in the library in New York and you were there with another guy.
00:12:33You looked happy.
00:12:36You looked free.
00:12:48Well?
00:12:49Um...
00:12:49You...
00:12:51You know, kids.
00:12:53Active imagination.
00:12:54She thinks every woman who comes on the farm is her mom.
00:12:57Alright, listen, just... just leave the papers on the counter and I'll sign them.
00:13:01Um...
00:13:01I have a flight back to New York in three hours and I am not leaving here without these papers
00:13:05signed.
00:13:06Well, I'm not signing them until I read them over first.
00:13:09Why, Craig?
00:13:11It's not like you have anything that I want.
00:13:13What do you have that I could possibly want?
00:13:17I'm ready, Daddy.
00:13:19Okay.
00:13:20Um...
00:13:20I...
00:13:20I promise I'll sign them.
00:13:22Okay?
00:13:22I know better than to trust your promises.
00:13:24Craig.
00:13:25I got one for you too, Mommy.
00:13:27Uh...
00:13:27Oh, God.
00:13:28So, Miss Allie is going back to New York.
00:13:31So, it's just gonna be you and me and get up.
00:13:33Like always.
00:13:33Okay.
00:13:35I...
00:13:35I'm sorry.
00:13:36Just leave them in the living room.
00:13:38I'll sign up.
00:13:38No, no.
00:13:39Don't, no.
00:14:10Go, go, go!
00:14:12Wait!
00:14:13Ah!
00:14:15Ah!
00:14:16Ah!
00:14:17Ah!
00:14:18Ah!
00:14:23Ah, no cell service still.
00:14:26Ah!
00:14:28Guess...
00:14:29I'm walking.
00:14:30Mommy, help!
00:14:32Daddy's hurt.
00:14:36What happened?
00:14:37Daddy got bit by a big snake.
00:14:39Yeah.
00:14:41Oh.
00:14:42Got bread?
00:14:43Mm-hmm.
00:14:49Daddy.
00:14:51You still remember how to draw out snake venom?
00:14:53Well, I haven't forgotten everything you taught me, Craig Brody.
00:15:01Here.
00:15:02Keep the pressure on.
00:15:04Okay.
00:15:06Mm-hmm.
00:15:07Your daddy will be fine.
00:15:07I promise.
00:15:16Hold still.
00:15:19All right.
00:15:20All right.
00:15:21Keep the pressure on.
00:15:23Mm-hmm.
00:15:29So, your daughter.
00:15:30Mm-hmm.
00:15:32She looks about...
00:15:34Seven years old.
00:15:37So, she's Trista's.
00:15:39No.
00:15:40She's yours.
00:15:42She's yours.
00:15:44So, if she's not Trista's, how many other women were you sleeping with while we were together?
00:15:50I don't care if you were with the entire town.
00:15:53Just, um, sign the papers, Craig, and we can put this sham of marriage behind us.
00:15:57You've gotta be kidding me.
00:15:59Where did they go?
00:16:00Daddy's had this photo in his nightstand for seven years, which means he still loves her.
00:16:06And if they loved each other once, they can love each other again.
00:16:10They just need another chance.
00:16:22Where are the divorce papers?
00:16:24No.
00:16:25Oh.
00:16:29What?
00:16:34I will check into the Picoi in the fort tonight.
00:16:38Oh.
00:16:38And we can look for the divorce papers tomorrow.
00:16:40The Picoi closed years ago?
00:16:42There was always your father's...
00:16:44That's, um, not an option.
00:16:48The way she said that, that something happened between her and her father.
00:16:54Well, unless you wanna stay outside, I guess you're stuck here.
00:17:05Fine.
00:17:07But I'm not staying in your room.
00:17:09Wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:12You can stay in my room with me and Lucy.
00:17:15There you go.
00:17:25Wow, I love your room.
00:17:27Thanks.
00:17:27My daddy helped me decorate it.
00:17:38Okay, look.
00:17:43I know it hasn't been easy, trying to start a family, but one day, the adoption will go through.
00:17:52We're gonna have that baby, and you will be the most amazing.
