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.
00:18:24Good night, sweetheart.

00:19:42Daddy?
00:19:43Oh god.
00:19:47Do you know where Miss Hailey went?
00:19:50Uh, no.
00:19:51I haven't seen her.
00:19:52Do you think she left us, Daddy?
00:19:55You know what?
00:19:56Just give me five minutes and I'll help you look, okay, sweetie?
00:19:59Okay, Daddy.
00:20:04Ow!
00:20:04Oh, my God.
00:20:23Craig, I'm engaged to someone else.
00:20:26You're also married to me.
00:20:32How could this kid any messier?
00:20:40I should go.
00:20:55Hey.
00:20:58Hey.
00:20:59Hey.
00:20:59So, I found the divorce papers.
00:21:04Natalie!
00:21:05I think she wants to keep us married.
00:21:08Would that be such a bad thing?
00:21:15Hello!
00:21:16I brought scones!
00:21:20What the hell are you doing here?
00:21:24Craig and Trista are still together?
00:21:27I mean, hi, baby.
00:21:30I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
00:21:32What a pleasant surprise, Holly.
00:21:35Hi.
00:21:35Uh, excuse me.
00:21:40What the fuck are you doing here?
00:21:43It's none of your business.
00:21:46Actually, where Craig's concerned, it is.
00:21:49So, you and Craig are still together?
00:21:54We're not going anywhere together, Trista.
00:21:57My heart still belongs to Hallie, and it always will.
00:22:02Still together?
00:22:04Why, of course we're still together.
00:22:06We've been inseparable.
00:22:07Ever since that day at the airport,
00:22:09the day that Craig chose me over you,
00:22:11Mom, don't tell me you've forgotten.
00:22:16How could I?
00:22:18It's the worst day of my life.
00:22:20Oh, it's not right to hear that.
00:22:22Because it was a pretty good day for me.
00:22:24I'm sure it was.
00:22:26Listen, if you're here to win Craig back,
00:22:28it's too late.
00:22:29Because I'm pretty sure he's planning on proposing to me.
00:22:32Any day now.
00:22:34So, I need you to get your skinny little ass
00:22:36out of my town.
00:22:37Okay?
00:22:38Come here.
00:22:39Take a pastry for the road.
00:22:41Mine's this.
00:22:46Eat it.
00:22:47Oh, my God.
00:22:48Because it's the closest you'll get to tasting Craig's mouth ever again.
00:22:55Oh, my God.
00:22:58You New York bitch!
00:23:00Oh, my God.
00:23:03Oh, my God.
00:23:05Oh, my God.
00:23:06Oh, my God.
00:23:07You think you can just waltz back in here
00:23:09and pick up where you left off?
00:23:10Craig will always choose me over you.
00:23:17What the hell is going on?
00:23:19Oh, my uncle.
00:23:21Oh, my uncle.
00:23:23That crazy bitch!
00:23:26Like I said, he will always choose me over you.
00:23:30Oh, my uncle.
00:23:31Are you okay?
00:23:32Why are you asking her?
00:23:34I'm the one who's injured.
00:23:38All I did was offer her a scone,
00:23:40and then she called it dog food,
00:23:41and then she kicked me.
00:23:45Oh, poor little thing.
00:23:47You got scone all over you.
00:23:49It's okay, Hallie.
00:23:50I forgive you.
00:23:51Even if you did break my leg.
00:23:53I didn't touch you.
00:23:55I need to put your petty jealousy aside.
00:23:57Craig divorced you for a reason.
00:24:00And coming back here to diaper him back is just pathetic.
00:24:05Actually, I didn't divorce Hallie.
00:24:07She's still my wife.
00:24:10What?
00:24:12Hallie is still my wife,
00:24:14which means you just insulted her in her own house.
00:24:17So please leave Trista.
00:24:20Wait, baby.
00:24:21This is just one big misunderstanding.
00:24:23You heard my daddy get out of our house
00:24:25before we call the cops.
00:24:29Oh, my God.
00:24:30Ew.
00:24:30What is that disgusting creature?
00:24:32I'm going to vomit.
00:24:34Good job, Lucy.
00:24:36You know what?
00:24:37I should go.
00:24:38Hallie.
00:24:43It was nice meeting you, Natalie.
00:24:46I'm sorry.
00:24:53Lulu.
00:24:54Call me back.
00:24:57Hallie.
00:24:58You know, I never understood
00:25:00why you left me for Trista.
00:25:01Of all people,
00:25:02you knew I couldn't stand her.
00:25:04That's why I didn't.
00:25:06Because I knew it would hurt you the most.
00:25:10Seeing her again
00:25:11just reminded me of the
00:25:13worst day of my life.
00:25:15Hallie.
00:25:17There's something I need to tell you about Trista.
00:25:21I don't want to talk about Trista anymore, okay?
00:25:24I have to take this.
00:25:25Lulu,
00:25:26can you email me another copy of the divorce papers ASAP?
00:25:28Another copy?
00:25:29What happened to the originals?
00:25:31Uh, it's a long story.
00:25:35Can you do it?
00:25:36It's Saturday.
00:25:38City Hall's closed until Monday.
00:25:41You're going to need a certified copy.
00:25:42I think you're going to have to stay the weekend there, boss.
00:25:45I hope that's not a big problem.
00:25:48No, uh, of course not.
00:25:51Well,
00:25:51looks like I am staying until Monday.
00:25:54I'd like to get a new copy of the divorce papers.
00:25:56I don't have anything.
00:25:58Not a change of clothes,
00:25:59not even a toothbrush.
00:26:00I'm just going to go to the store.
00:26:02Okay.
00:26:03Okay.
00:26:04Okay.
00:26:05Hey, Miss Hallie is staying.
00:26:23Stop looking at him like that, Hallie.
00:26:26You can't have feelings for him.
00:26:29Even if he is your husband.
00:26:38I can't believe how bad the town looks.
00:26:43When the factory closed,
00:26:45half the stores went with it.
00:26:47Well, at least Martha's Diner is still here.
00:26:49Martha May makes the best burgers in the world.
00:26:53Yeah.
00:26:55Remember our crazy dream?
00:26:57You know, fix this place up?
00:26:59Of course I do.
00:27:01So?
00:27:02You probably have big plans after graduation.
00:27:06I'm applying to an architecture program in Paris.
00:27:09I doubt I'll get it, though.
00:27:11It's really competitive.
00:27:12Of course you will.
00:27:14I mean,
00:27:15they'd be fools not to take you.
00:27:16You think so?
00:27:17Oh, yeah, I know so.
00:27:20Well, after that,
00:27:21I want to come back here.
00:27:23Fix this town up.
00:27:24I am pretty good.
00:27:25I am her.
00:27:26I need an assistant.
00:27:28How about a partner?
00:27:29Oh.
00:27:34Sounds perfect.
00:27:36Man, I could really go for a burger right now.
00:27:39I have an idea.
00:27:42Where are you taking me, Craig Brody?
00:27:47A picnic.
00:27:49Just like old times.
00:27:52Allow me.
00:27:54Oh.
00:27:59I hate you, Hallie.
00:28:06Wow, it's just like in high school.
00:28:09Still looks the same, doesn't it?
00:28:12And feels the same.
00:28:15I love you, Hallie Biltner.
00:28:17I want you to know
00:28:18I will never, ever hurt you.
00:28:22I'm so sorry for hurting you, Hallie.
00:28:27Natalie.
00:28:27And I were supposed to eat these
00:28:30on our fishing trip.
00:28:32You.
00:28:33I don't think she'll forgive me.
00:28:37Triangles.
00:28:38Just the way you tell me.
00:28:39It's Natalie's favorite way to eat them, too.
00:28:42Oh, I have to take this.
00:28:45Hey.
00:28:46Hallie.
00:28:47Hallie.
00:28:47The press wants to know
00:28:48why we haven't been seen together.
00:28:50They think we broke up.
00:28:51You need to get back here right now.
00:28:57I can't yet.
00:28:59I need to get new divorce papers
00:29:01and city hall is closed until Monday.
00:29:03New divorce papers?
00:29:04What?
00:29:04Your location says
00:29:05you're at your old high school.
00:29:07What the hell is going on?
00:29:08It's complicated.
00:29:12No, it is not complicated.
00:29:14Okay, look.
00:29:16I am pulling in a favor from the governor.
00:29:18We're going to get those papers expedited
00:29:20and we are going to force
00:29:21that husband of yours
00:29:22into signing them if we have to.
00:29:24I need you on the next flight back
00:29:26in an hour.
00:29:27In a couple?
00:29:28Yeah.
00:29:29That's not going to be a problem, is it?
00:29:34Of course not.
00:29:55Just sign the papers when you get them, Craig.
00:29:57Okay?
00:29:58It's the least you can do.
00:30:00This is my last chance
00:30:02to tell her the truth.
00:30:06Well, goodbye, I guess.
00:30:08Holly, I...
00:30:09No, Craig.
00:30:10Oh, I'm done waiting.
00:30:13It's time for me to move on.
00:30:19Hello?
00:30:20What?
00:30:22Are you sure?
00:30:24Okay.
00:30:25Okay.
00:30:26Um, um, it's my father.
00:30:29He's had a stroke.
00:30:30He's at the community hospital.
00:30:31Oh, come on.
00:30:32I'll drive you.
00:30:36Unless you're getting on that flight.
00:30:38No, uh...
00:30:39No, of course not.
00:30:40Okay, good, good, good.
00:30:41Come on.
00:30:44What's going on?
00:30:46The neighbor found him this morning
00:30:47on the lawn.
00:30:49Hallie,
00:30:49I didn't expect to see you here.
00:30:51Is he going to be okay?
00:30:53We're doing the best we can,
00:30:54but it's difficult,
00:30:55considering his condition.
00:30:57His condition?
00:30:58Your father's dying, Hallie,
00:31:00of kidney failure.
00:31:05How long does he have?
00:31:07A couple weeks,
00:31:08maybe a month.
00:31:09I hope you're planning
00:31:10on sticking around this time.
00:31:13Excuse me.
00:31:18I had no idea.
00:31:20You didn't?
00:31:21When's the last time you saw him?
00:31:26Seven years ago.
00:31:33Hallie.
00:31:35Craig's divorcing me.
00:31:37He's been cheating on me.
00:31:39I knew that bastard
00:31:40wasn't good enough for you.
00:31:42But at least you found out
00:31:43before he followed you to Paris.
00:31:45No, I'm not going to Paris.
00:31:47I can't get on that plane.
00:31:49What?
00:31:51Craig was right.
00:31:52I'm not...
00:31:53I'm not a real architect.
00:31:54Everyone's going to laugh at me.
00:31:56You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:31:58But, Daddy, I...
00:31:59If you come back now,
00:32:01you'll be a laughingstock.
00:32:02You'll be a divorced loser.
00:32:04No one will want you.
00:32:05Not Craig.
00:32:08Not even me.
00:32:11Daddy?
00:32:12You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:32:14I never want to see you again.
00:32:16You are a disgrace.
00:32:28Nobody's ever been so mean to me.
00:32:32Except you.
00:32:34That is.
00:32:35God, it's like the two of you
00:32:36were in cahoots.
00:32:38Should I tell her that we were?
00:32:41If I tell her the truth,
00:32:43she'll never forgive her dying father.
00:32:46Didn't work out for the best, though.
00:32:49I mean, look at the life
00:32:50you've built for yourself.
00:32:51You deserve more than this small town.
00:32:55You and my father certainly made it easy to leave.
00:33:00What's going on?
00:33:02Power grid has been happening for weeks.
00:33:09Natalie?
00:33:10Daddy.
00:33:11I'm scared.
00:33:14It's dark and there's someone outside.
00:33:15I'll be right there.
00:33:16I'll be right there.
00:33:17Keep the doors locked.
00:33:18I have to go.
00:33:19I'm coming with you.
00:33:20Hallie, this isn't something that-
00:33:22I'm coming with you.
00:33:23Okay.
00:33:24Okay.
00:33:24Come on.
00:33:27Natalie?
00:33:29Oh my god.
00:33:30Oh my god.
00:33:30Oh my god.
00:33:31Thank god.
00:33:33Oh.
00:33:35I was so scared.
00:33:37It's okay.
00:33:38It's okay.
00:33:38You're okay.
00:33:40It must have been raccoons.
00:33:42Broken through the window.
00:33:44Probably those scones, huh?
00:33:46Yeah.
00:33:47I'm so sorry for leaving you alone for so long.
00:33:50Oh, it's my fault.
00:33:51No, no, no.
00:33:52I was happy to help, but...
00:33:55I think you missed your flight.
00:33:58So you're saying we could watch a movie together?
00:34:03I guess we can.
00:34:09Miss Haley, come closer.
00:34:15Daddy, come closer.
00:34:20Isn't this great?
00:34:21Just the three of us.
00:34:25This blanket always makes my daddy fall asleep.
00:34:56Oh my god.
00:35:04I love you, Allie Brody.
00:35:08Why does this feel so right?
00:35:13He's still my husband.
00:35:15And I know every freckle on his body.
00:35:18But no.
00:35:20I'm divorcing him.
00:35:21And marrying someone else.
00:35:27Oh my god.
00:35:31Oh my god.
00:35:32Oh.
00:35:36Allie.
00:35:40Mommy and daddy, I made breakfast.
00:35:50Do you like it?
00:35:51I made pancakes.
00:35:52They are excellent, sweetie.
00:35:56Mm-hmm.
00:35:57This is what families do.
00:35:58They eat breakfast together.
00:36:04What's up?
00:36:10There's some stupid birthday invitation.
00:36:13All the kids from school will be there, but I'm not going.
00:36:16Why not?
00:36:18Because everyone always says, if I had a mom, she'd help me pick up better gifts.
00:36:23And they say I'm just a momless loser.
00:36:26You are not a momless loser, Natalie.
00:36:30And don't let anyone make you feel less than you are.
00:36:36I grew up without a mom, too, you know.
00:36:39And it was hard.
00:36:41But I was always able to rely on my dad.
00:36:44Just like you can.
00:36:48And by the way, your dad is worth a thousand movies.
00:36:54That's true.
00:36:55She checked.
00:36:57So go to that party with your head held high.
00:37:00No one can take your power from you unless you let them.
00:37:07Okay, Miss Allie, I'll go to the party.
00:37:09Thanks.
00:37:11Thanks.
00:37:16Oh, no.
00:37:18Excuse me.
00:37:19Um, I have to take this.
00:37:26I see you got my messages.
00:37:29Delete that photo, Trista.
00:37:31Oh, which one?
00:37:32Because I have plenty.
00:37:36What's the problem?
00:37:38A rich fiance isn't enough for you, so you have to come back and seduce your husband, too.
00:37:42I didn't come here to get back with Craig, Trista.
00:37:44I came here to divorce him?
00:37:47Really?
00:37:48Then prove it.
00:37:49Walk away now and leave this town for good.
00:37:52Otherwise, these photos will go to the senator.
00:37:59I could ruin you, Hallie.
00:38:01So don't mess with my life, and I won't mess with yours.
00:38:12Hey.
00:38:13Everything okay?
00:38:15Hi.
00:38:16Who are you talking to?
00:38:17Oh, uh, my, uh, fiance's lawyer.
00:38:20He'll be by with new divorce papers.
00:38:24Um, I have to go.
00:38:26Right now?
00:38:27Yes.
00:38:27I'm sorry, but yes.
00:38:29Can you call me a cab?
00:38:30Hallie.
00:38:31Call me a cab.
00:38:32Craig.
00:38:33Okay.
00:38:36Our plan didn't work, Lucy.
00:38:38I guess Mommy isn't in love with Daddy after all.
00:38:50Martha May?
00:38:52Allie Builder, as I live and breathe!
00:38:55Oh, how are you so skinny?
00:38:57I thought that city of yours had a restaurant on every block.
00:39:00Oh, well, they do, but none of them make a burger as good as you do.
00:39:04Oh, well, that's nice to know I'll be remembered fondly, at least.
00:39:08What?
00:39:08Don't tell me you're shutting down.
00:39:09Yeah, I don't have a choice.
00:39:11Rent's gone up and I can't afford the place anymore.
00:39:14No, no, there must be something I can do.
00:39:17Mayor Diggle, shut it down.
00:39:21Mayor Diggle.
00:39:24Dirk, I can't believe you're shutting down Martha's Diner.
00:39:28It's a town institution.
00:39:29Is it?
00:39:30Or are you just upset about it because you and your boyfriend Craig used to go there?
00:39:35This isn't high school anymore, Dirk.
00:39:37And this isn't a game.
00:39:39What is it going to take for you to leave the diner alone?
00:39:42Well, you know I've always liked you, so...
00:39:46How about you and me handle this privately?
00:39:49I'll pay you 12 months' rent in advance.
00:39:55Listen, you think I want your money?
00:39:57No, I had something more interesting in mind.
00:40:00You!
00:40:01You're disgusting!
00:40:02Listen, Craig was here to save you last time, but he's not here now.
00:40:07Looks like you're all alone, Hallie.
00:40:09No!
00:40:10Let go of my water!
00:40:20Well, you two are under arrest for assaulting the mayor!
00:40:26You know the drill.
00:40:27This is just like how I used to arrest you when you was back in high school.
00:40:31You know the drill.
00:40:39Wife, huh?
00:40:41Some habits are hard to break.
00:40:45God, this is so not funny.
00:40:47Ned is running for senator.
00:40:49What will this look like if anyone finds out?
00:40:50And who's going to check a county jail in a nowhere town?
00:40:54I should have never come back here.
00:40:56I should have sent my assistant.
00:40:58I should have hired a lawyer!
00:40:59Then why didn't you?
00:41:01I think you wanted to see me.
00:41:05I think you wanted to see me.
00:41:07In your dreams, I have moved on to bigger and better things.
00:41:11Yeah, I heard about that.
00:41:13That neighborhood you shut down put 6,000 people out of work.
00:41:17And the complex I built brought back 10,000 jobs.
00:41:20Yeah, for Ivy Leaguers and corporate types.
00:41:23What about the blue collars?
00:41:26What about the people you came from?
00:41:27I've tried to forget where I came from.
00:41:30Okay, isn't that what you wanted when you told me I don't belong here?
00:41:33I shouldn't have said that.
00:41:35No, you were right.
00:41:36I'm not the same girl you married.
00:41:39I've built a life, a career.
00:41:43I should thank you.
00:41:44Because I couldn't have done it without you.
00:41:47All right, lovebirds.
00:41:49Your bail's been posted.
00:41:51You're free to go.
00:41:53Bail by who?
00:41:56Hey, Howls.
00:41:59Ned.
00:42:04Hey, Howls.
00:42:06Ned.
00:42:10So, you must be Craig Brody.
00:42:13The man who couldn't even sign a simple divorce paper.
00:42:16And you must be Ned Vogel.
00:42:18The man who thinks money can solve everything.
00:42:21Yeah, well, my money got you out of jail, didn't it?
00:42:25I didn't ask to be bailed out.
00:42:27Hmm.
00:42:27Well, you can think of it as the government working for you.
00:42:30Well, you can shove your government up your silver spree.
00:42:33Guys, please stop.
00:42:35No, you're right.
00:42:37I'm not here to argue with a man who's holding on to the past.
00:42:43We got the divorce papers expedited.
00:42:45So, you can sign them, Craig.
00:42:49This nonsense has gone on long enough.
00:42:52Can I really divorce Hallie?
00:42:55Without her knowing about her own daughter?
00:42:59Sign the papers.
00:43:01Or we take you to court.
00:43:04But I gotta tell you, my lawyer's a shark.
00:43:07Say something, Hallie.
00:43:10Say something to stop this.
00:43:13Sign the papers, Craig.
00:43:16Let me go.
00:43:17It's the least you can do.
00:43:26Wonderful.
00:43:27We will get these filed at the town hall.
00:43:30And you will be divorced in an hour.
00:43:34This nonsense has gone on long enough.
00:43:37It's time for you to finally move on with your life, Hallie.
00:43:43Well, are you coming?
00:43:46Yes, of course.
00:43:49Bye.
00:43:56That is who she ended up with.
00:43:59I always thought it'd be you.
00:44:02You know, sometimes things don't work out the way we want them to.
00:44:08Hallie, what were you thinking?
00:44:10Jail?
00:44:11Are you trying to ruin my campaign?
00:44:14No.
00:44:15No, this has nothing to do with you.
00:44:17You are going to be my wife.
00:44:21Everything you do reflects on me.
00:44:25Now, are there any other skeletons I should know about?
00:44:37No.
00:44:39No.
00:44:42This town is just how you described it.
00:44:47Low class, run down, depressing.
00:44:52It isn't that bad.
00:44:55Those were your words, Hallie.
00:44:57What's gotten into you?
00:44:58I don't know.
00:44:59Um, just being back here.
00:45:04Should I remind you how lucky you are to have gotten out?
00:45:08Last signature, Miss Builder.
00:45:10And you'll be free and clear to be the wife of a sin.
00:45:23Okay.
00:45:24That's a no.
00:45:29Fair wages, fair pay.
00:45:31We owe you a contract today.
00:45:32Let us through.
00:45:33No one gets in or out today.
00:45:35Town workers on strike.
00:45:37We need to get these filed.
00:45:38We have a flight to catch in 30 minutes.
00:45:41Sorry, we can't do it.
00:45:46There you are, Mommy.
00:45:50Mommy?
00:45:54I knew you wanted to leave without me, Mommy.
00:45:58Mommy, you two have a kid together?
00:45:59No, no, no, of course not.
00:46:01Natalie, come on.
00:46:02Miss Hallie has to go.
00:46:04No, no!
00:46:06I'm so sorry.
00:46:07I hate you.
00:46:08I hate both of you.
00:46:12Another reason why I'm glad I don't have kids.
00:46:14Look, we need to get these signed.
00:46:16What's it going to cost me to make it happen?
00:46:19Whoa.
00:46:20Is this a city senate official bribing a city employee?
00:46:26You see, I have my fair share of scandals,
00:46:28but this, this is bad.
00:46:32Holly, I see you got a fancy new fiancee.
00:46:36What happened to your husband?
00:46:38He's still locked away in jail?
00:46:40I think you mean soon-to-be ex-husband.
00:46:43Ah, looks like your father got what he always wanted.
00:46:46You and Craig finally divorced.
00:46:50But what do you mean what my father wanted?
00:46:54What do you mean what my father wanted?
00:46:57Wait, man.
00:46:58Craig never told you-
00:46:59Fair, wait, it's fair, wait!
00:47:00Hey!
00:47:01Keep it down.
00:47:02All right, or I'll write you up for a noise violation.
00:47:04How about you pay us what we're owed
00:47:06and not waste our tax dollars
00:47:08on fancy new fire trucks
00:47:10and cocktail parties?
00:47:12Mayor Sullivan never would have done anything.
00:47:15All right, listen.
00:47:15Mayor Sullivan is not in charge anymore.
00:47:18I am.
00:47:19All right?
00:47:20So please just keep it down.
00:47:21Fair wait is fair pay.
00:47:23All right, just keep it down.
00:47:24Fair wait is fair pay.
00:47:27I'll sign my paper for you.
00:47:29Yeah.
00:47:30All right, good.
00:47:33Where's the rest of it?
00:47:34What?
00:47:35Well, I can't sign this without a custody agreement.
00:47:37A custody agreement?
00:47:40Sure, this child is just as much Hallie's as she is Craig's.
00:47:45You lied to her.
00:47:47No, no, no, I didn't know, I swear.
00:47:51How is this even possible?
00:47:53Well, she's adopted.
00:47:54I mean, I did the paperwork myself.
00:47:55You listed as parent number one.
00:47:57Jeez, I would have thought he would have told you about it by now.
00:48:00This is not a good thing.
00:48:02A husband is one thing but a child.
00:48:04If this gets out, I am sunk.
00:48:06Right.
00:48:06A messy custody battle never sits well with voters.
00:48:09Who said anything about a custody agreement?
00:48:12Hallie doesn't even want the kid, right, Hallie?
00:48:14I mean, you barely even know the child.
00:48:16She'll give up custody right now.
00:48:17Where do we sign?
00:48:18It's not that simple.
00:48:19In a case like this, when a child's involved, both parties have to attend a parenting class.
00:48:24Next one starts tomorrow.
00:48:26Tomorrow?
00:48:27I do not have time for this.
00:48:29I have to get back to New York before the press starts asking questions.
00:48:34Uh, go.
00:48:36Go, I'll get this sorted out.
00:48:38Fine.
00:48:39Take care of this child.
00:48:41End this marriage.
00:48:42Quickly and quietly.
00:48:51How come you never told me that Natalie is my daughter?
00:48:57Natalie.
00:48:58No!
00:48:58You were just going to let me divorce you, never knowing that Natalie is my daughter?
00:49:10The adoption went through after you left.
00:49:14You didn't think I deserved to know?
00:49:16You could have called, written anything!
00:49:20I tried.
00:49:21What?
00:49:24And you were there with another guy.
00:49:27You looked happy.
00:49:30You looked free.
00:49:32Seems you don't need me and Natalie anymore.
00:49:34And that's why you never told me that I had a daughter?
00:49:39You looked like you'd moved on.
00:49:42Moved on?
00:49:44It took me years to move on.
00:49:49And honestly,
00:49:52I don't know if I ever have.
00:49:55Forget it.
00:49:57It doesn't matter now anyway.
00:50:00Here.
00:50:04Parenting class.
00:50:08We need to take it in order to get divorced.
00:50:11Custody.
00:50:12Co-parenting.
00:50:14Legally, Natalie is just as much mine as she is yours.
00:50:18You haven't spent any time with her.
00:50:20You didn't raise her.
00:50:22I know.
00:50:23And whose fault is that?
00:50:26Class is at 8am.
00:50:27Don't be late.
00:50:32I knew Miss Hayley was my mommy.
00:50:36I knew Miss Hayley was my mommy.
00:50:40Dad?
00:50:45Maya, what's going on?
00:50:54Daddy!
00:50:54Daddy!
00:50:56He's okay.
00:50:57He's stabilized.
00:50:58Your old man's a fighter, Hallie.
00:51:01And clearly he's fighting to see you again.
00:51:04I don't know, fighting to see me.
00:51:07If anything, he'd be pissed to know I'm back.
00:51:11My dad hates me.
00:51:12That's not possible.
00:51:14Hallie, he talks about you all the time.
00:51:16He does?
00:51:18Yep.
00:51:19Every Monday and Thursday at dialysis.
00:51:21That's how I know about your fancy job.
00:51:24And your fancy boyfriend.
00:51:27None of this makes any sense.
00:51:29Hallie, are you okay?
00:51:32Yeah, today's just been...
00:51:35a lot.
00:51:37Maya, did you know...
00:51:39that Natalie's...
00:51:40my daughter?
00:51:44My shift ends in five minutes.
00:51:47Do you want to grab a drink?
00:51:50Craig has never revealed
00:51:51who Natalie's mother was,
00:51:53but he's never been with anyone since you,
00:51:56so we figured...
00:51:57Wait a second.
00:51:58Uh, he's never been with anyone since me.
00:52:01No, he left me for Trista.
00:52:03I saw him.
00:52:04Trista?
00:52:05She's been after him for years, sure,
00:52:07but he'd never touch her with a ten-foot pole.
00:52:10I don't understand.
00:52:11Just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:52:15Craig!
00:52:16No, I...
00:52:27Excuse me, Maya.
00:52:28I need to get to the bottom of this.
00:52:39Good to see you, Hallie.
00:52:41I know the truth.
00:52:42You were never with Trista.
00:52:45So tell me the truth about everything.
00:52:48Right now.
00:52:53Play me for it.
00:52:56If you win,
00:52:58I'll tell you.
00:53:06Looks like big city living
00:53:07hasn't dulled your A-medal.
00:53:09No, if anything.
00:53:11Maybe sharper.
00:53:18You two are playing like your lives depend on it.
00:53:26Well,
00:53:28kind of do.
00:53:34Oops.
00:53:38If you do that again,
00:53:40I might just have to take you right here on the table.
00:53:44Too bad I'm engaged.
00:53:47What are you playing at, Hallie?
00:53:50I deserve the truth.
00:53:51Why?
00:53:53You came here to divorce me.
00:53:55What good would the truth do?
00:53:56I'll be the one to decide that.
00:54:11Now,
00:54:14that's up.
00:54:21You scratched.
00:54:26I win.
00:54:28Thank you, ladies.
00:54:29But I gotta go.
00:54:31I have an early start.
00:54:39Maybe I can find some clues in my father's room.
00:54:44Why didn't my father tell me he was sick?
00:54:47And why won't anyone just tell me the truth?
00:54:53Oh my God.
00:55:00This will always belong to Hallie.
00:55:03And so will my heart.
00:55:04What is this doing here?
00:55:08Mom.
00:55:13What was this doing in my father's bedroom?
00:55:15Uh, Hallie.
00:55:16Tell me.
00:55:16Why was this in my father's room?
00:55:21Don't tell me you're about to propose, Hallie.
00:55:24Trista.
00:55:25What are you doing here?
00:55:26Surprise!
00:55:27I'm teaching the course.
00:55:30It's time for the two of you to get divorced.
00:55:34I mean,
00:55:34this is what you both want,
00:55:36right?
00:55:38Of course.
00:55:39Hallie,
00:55:40you are Natalie's mother after all.
00:55:42Yes,
00:55:43but she doesn't know it yet,
00:55:45so please keep this between us.
00:55:46I will always do you a favor, Craig.
00:55:49You know that.
00:55:51Okay.
00:55:52First topic.
00:55:53How to explain to your child
00:55:55why you're not together anymore.
00:55:57Uh, simple.
00:55:58Her father is a lying, manipulative jerk
00:56:00who hid the fact that I had a daughter
00:56:02for five years.
00:56:04Not to mention whatever other secrets he's keeping.
00:56:07And what would you have done
00:56:08if I'd come up to you in the library that day?
00:56:10Hallie,
00:56:11be honest.
00:56:12You're starting a new life somewhere else.
00:56:14Because you made me believe
00:56:15there was nothing left for me here.
00:56:17So what are you gonna do?
00:56:18You're gonna take Natalie to New York?
00:56:21Maybe.
00:56:22Maybe.
00:56:23He belongs here.
00:56:24Not in New York
00:56:25with Central Air
00:56:27and no pair.
00:56:28And I will be damned
00:56:30if I let Ned Vogel
00:56:31be my daughter's stepfather.
00:56:34Jealous, Craig.
00:56:35You know,
00:56:35of all the things Ned is,
00:56:36he's never lied to me.
00:56:38Never torn my world apart
00:56:39without so much as an explanation.
00:56:42You want an explanation?
00:56:43Yeah.
00:56:44I'll give you one.
00:56:45I did lie to you that day
00:56:46when I told you
00:56:47that I didn't love you anymore.
00:56:53I'm done here.
00:56:55Wait, wait.
00:56:56He was still in love with you.
00:56:57I knew it.
00:56:58You just came here
00:56:58and you ruined everything like that.
00:57:00I knew you would.
00:57:01Ruined what exactly?
00:57:02I know the truth, Trista.
00:57:04You and Craig were never together.
00:57:06Oh!
00:57:08And that's about to change, sweetie.
00:57:10Once those divorce papers are finalized,
00:57:12I will have no choice
00:57:13but to choose me.
00:57:15Besides,
00:57:15Natalie needs a mother.
00:57:18You want to be Natalie's mom.
00:57:19Well, not particularly.
00:57:21But I can pretend.
00:57:23At least until I send her off
00:57:24to boarding school.
00:57:25After all these years,
00:57:27her father and I deserve
00:57:28some alone time.
00:57:29I mean, don't you think?
00:57:31Don't you dare.
00:57:36Go back to New York, Hallie.
00:57:38None of this concerns of you anymore.
00:57:40I think I'll go comfort your husband now.
00:57:45Oh, he looks upset.
00:58:03Let me out!
00:58:05Somebody!
00:58:08I'm so sorry about that.
00:58:10I didn't realize Hallie would try to provoke you like that.
00:58:13Oh, Hallie was right.
00:58:14I should have told her about Natalie.
00:58:17It was unfair.
00:58:18I need to apologize.
00:58:20Do you?
00:58:20Because you and I both know
00:58:22what Hallie would have chosen
00:58:23all those years ago.
00:58:24And it wouldn't have been you and Matt.
00:58:25I don't,
00:58:26because I never gave her the chance.
00:58:27I did.
00:58:29What?
00:58:30All those years ago,
00:58:32I told her about Natalie.
00:58:38I don't understand.
00:58:41I care about you, Craig.
00:58:43And I would never, ever lie to you.
00:58:46I told her that you had a daughter together.
00:58:48And she never even tried to contact you.
00:58:51Did she?
00:58:56I'm so sorry I didn't tell you before,
00:58:58but I was just trying to protect you.
00:59:00She said that the last thing that she wanted
00:59:02was a daughter with you.
00:59:04She said that.
00:59:05Yes.
00:59:06In fact,
00:59:07she said that she didn't want any kids at all.
00:59:10Hallie was born to be a mother.
00:59:12That's all she's ever wanted.
00:59:14Is it?
00:59:15This is from the judge.
00:59:18She's planning on giving up full custody.
00:59:21She's going to New York.
00:59:22She has no interest in fighting for you or Natalie.
00:59:26But I do.
00:59:34What are you doing?
00:59:37I'm just trying to help you move on, Craig.
00:59:40Hallie will never choose you.
00:59:43But I will.
00:59:44It's not going to happen, Trista.
00:59:47It's not.
00:59:47Natalie.
00:59:48Natalie needs a mother.
00:59:49You know it and I know it.
00:59:51You need to move on, Craig,
00:59:52and come back to reality.
00:59:54Let me out!
00:59:57Hallie?
00:59:59What did you do to her?
01:00:01Nothing.
01:00:01Nothing.
01:00:02Nothing.
01:00:02This was a mistake.
01:00:04Having you help me out all those years ago
01:00:06is the biggest regret of my life.
01:00:08It's never going to happen,
01:00:10no matter what happens with me and Hallie.
01:00:18You want to play it like that?
01:00:21So be it.
01:00:26Hi!
01:00:28I'd like to speak to Senator Ned Vogel, please.
01:00:34Are you okay?
01:00:36Don't.
01:00:38Why do you care, Craig?
01:00:39Is everything you tell me a lie?
01:00:42What?
01:00:42I saw you kissing Trista.
01:00:45Don't try and deny it.
01:00:46You told me you loved me.
01:00:49I don't believe a word you say.
01:00:51Hallie, please, please believe me.
01:00:53That was a mistake.
01:00:54The only mistake I ever made
01:00:56was coming back here.
01:00:58I don't know what I thought I'd find.
01:01:01But now I know.
01:01:03I dodged a bullet seven years ago.
01:01:06Okay.
01:01:09Hi.
01:01:10I'd like to inform
01:01:11Senator Ned Vogel
01:01:13that his perfect little fiance
01:01:14is cheating on him
01:01:16with her husband.
01:01:18And don't worry.
01:01:20I have pictures to prove it.
01:01:24No, this isn't a prank phone call.
01:01:27I have proof.
01:01:31What?
01:01:32What?
01:01:32No, I'm not lying.
01:01:34Hello?
01:01:36Hello?
01:01:39I guess I'll just have to go to the New York Post with this one.
01:01:42You're buried, Hallie.
01:01:46Ned, hi.
01:01:48Hallie, great news.
01:01:49I just got off the phone with my lawyer.
01:01:51He said because you're giving up custody, parenting class is unnecessary.
01:01:55So you could sign the papers today and you'll be divorced by tomorrow.
01:02:00Tomorrow?
01:02:01Yeah.
01:02:02I already got a schedule for a gala Saturday, a fundraising brunch on Sunday.
01:02:06I can't wait to get you back on my arm in that pretty little black dress of yours.
01:02:11Me either.
01:02:13Well, you don't sound very happy.
01:02:15It's just...
01:02:16What about Natalie?
01:02:18My daughter?
01:02:19What are you going to do, Hallie?
01:02:20Bring the kid with you to New York?
01:02:22Co-parent with your ex?
01:02:24No.
01:02:25Look, if you want to have a baby, we can have a baby.
01:02:29Together.
01:02:30But I'm not going to raise someone else's kids.
01:02:32Okay?
01:02:32Just sign over the custody and divorce him.
01:02:36Today.
01:02:36Hey, there's nothing there for you anymore, Hallie.
01:02:40Not anymore.
01:02:45You're right.
01:02:45There's nothing left for me here.
01:02:48Hallie.
01:02:49I'm giving up custody and going back to New York.
01:02:53You win, Craig.
01:02:54You win.
01:02:55You never wanted me to be a part of Natalie's life.
01:02:58Or yours.
01:03:01Well, congratulations.
01:03:02You got your wish.
01:03:03Hallie, please just hear me out.
01:03:05That's not the full story.
01:03:07There is nothing that you can say that will change anything.
01:03:09The damage is done.
01:03:12Let's just sign the papers and end this marriage.
01:03:18Party one agrees to give up full custody.
01:03:21Correct?
01:03:23That's right.
01:03:25Okay, so regarding the parental rights of Natalie Hallie Brody.
01:03:29What?
01:03:29Hallie?
01:03:30Her middle name is Hallie?
01:03:33She's your daughter, too.
01:03:35She's your daughter, too.
01:03:38Oh, my God.
01:03:41She belongs here.
01:03:44I'm not going to raise someone else's kid.
01:03:48Ma'am,
01:03:50please sign in the dotted line.
01:03:56It's really over.
01:04:11Now for the divorce papers.
01:04:22Is that it?
01:04:24Yes.
01:04:24Congratulations.
01:04:26In 24 hours, you'll be ex-husband and wife.
01:04:30It was nice being married to you, Hallie Bultner.
01:04:35Wish I could say the same, Craig Brody.
01:04:44Lulu, I'll be back in the city by tonight.
01:04:47Rebook my meetings and get me a pedicure appointment.
01:04:50Thank God.
01:04:51I thought you were never coming back.
01:04:53But then I remembered.
01:04:55You're Hallie Bultner.
01:04:56Your work is your life.
01:04:59My life.
01:05:01Right.
01:05:06By the way, did you ever do that favor I asked?
01:05:09Oh, you mean that favor where I went to 50 different toy stores all over the city just for one
01:05:13special kid?
01:05:16Yes, I did.
01:05:17Which, might I ask, who is this special child?
01:05:23My daughter.
01:05:30A monster truck 300?
01:05:32This is the best present ever!
01:05:36Who's next?
01:05:37Damn, why don't you get Natalie's present over with?
01:05:40We all know it's going to be the worst.
01:05:44Here it is.
01:05:45Look how tiny it is.
01:05:46Catch!
01:05:51It's probably a gum wrapper.
01:05:54Or a half-meat-an-apple.
01:05:56She's so poor, she probably can't afford anything else.
01:06:00Guys, be nice.
01:06:02At least if it's not a tree branch like last time.
01:06:07It was a walking stick and my dad made it.
01:06:10That's right, your dad.
01:06:11Because where's your mom again?
01:06:13That's right, nowhere!
01:06:18Oops, hope it wasn't fragile.
01:06:25It's a friendship bracelet.
01:06:27Friendship?
01:06:28We're not friends.
01:06:29That's so sad.
01:06:32I can't believe you actually invited this freak to your party.
01:06:36My mom forced me to.
01:06:39If you had a mom, she'd help you pick out a real present, not this dumb piece of string.
01:06:44I do have a mom.
01:06:46I do have a mom.
01:06:46Then, where is she?
01:06:49She lives in New York and she's a powerful CEO.
01:06:51Why do you make up a story like that?
01:06:53If your mom was a powerful CEO, she would give you better gifts than this.
01:07:00Mom less loser.
01:07:02Mom less loser.
01:07:04Mom less loser.
01:07:06Mom less loser.
01:07:08Mom less loser.
01:07:10Mom less loser.
01:07:12Mom less loser.
01:07:13Mom less loser.
01:07:15Nobody can take your power away from you except you.
01:07:19Don't ever forget that.
01:07:20You were wrong, Mommy, and you left me.
01:07:23You know what? Forget this!
01:07:34Hi, I have a delivery for Sam Baker.
01:07:37That's me!
01:07:40These must be for my uncle. He's super rich!
01:07:45Where do you think you're going?
01:07:47I never should have come. I'm getting out of here.
01:07:50Actually, you're going to stay here and watch what real presents look like.
01:07:55Yeah, and maybe next time you'll come up with something better than a stupid piece of string.
01:08:00A pickleball racket? Nintendo Switch?
01:08:03A build room bar kit?
01:08:06An e-scooter?
01:08:08A monster truck 400?
01:08:11These must cost a fortune.
01:08:14Uncle Rick is the best!
01:08:16Uh, actually, these gifts are from Natalie's mom.
01:08:23My mommy! She does love me!
01:08:26Wait! This has to be a prank! Natalie is just lying about her mom! She's a real!
01:08:32Well, someone very real signed for these purchase orders herself. All $15,000 worth of them.
01:08:37$15,000?
01:08:40How rich is she?
01:08:41Like I said, she's a powerful CEO in New York, and she's too busy to care what you small-town
01:08:48losers think.
01:08:50No, wait! No! Where are you going? Uh, it's okay. You can sit next to me.
01:08:54No! Sit next to me!
01:08:56I want to be friends with you if you pay me.
01:09:00Enjoy the presents, loser.
01:09:04And your cake is dry, by the way!
01:09:11Daddy.
01:09:14I don't know if you can hear me, but I wanted you to know I'm going back to New York,
01:09:21okay?
01:09:22You were right about Craig.
01:09:25He's a liar.
01:09:26And a cheat.
01:09:28But the man I'm about to marry?
01:09:31He's rich.
01:09:34Handsome.
01:09:36Successful.
01:09:38Exactly.
01:09:39The kind of man he would have wanted for me.
01:09:42I'll miss you, okay?
01:09:47You're running towards something.
01:09:49Back to your life.
01:09:51Go!
01:09:52Your father's in good hands.
01:09:54I promise.
01:09:55Would you look after Natalie for me?
01:09:57Of course.
01:10:15Thank you, Ms. Bildner. First class is to the left.
01:10:17Thank you so much.
01:10:20Mommy!
01:10:21Natalie!
01:10:22Natalie!
01:10:22What are you doing here?
01:10:24I'm coming with you to New York!
01:10:28Natalie, it's...
01:10:29It's not that simple.
01:10:31Look, your father and I, we...
01:10:33We got divorced.
01:10:35But that doesn't mean you can't still be my mommy.
01:10:38Actually, it does.
01:10:40Look, you belong here.
01:10:42With your father.
01:10:43So do you, mommy.
01:10:45I know you do, and so does daddy.
01:10:47Wait, what?
01:10:49Daddy sometimes talks in his sleep.
01:10:51He's always saying sorry to you and how much he loves you.
01:10:57This will always belong to Hallie.
01:11:00And so will my heart.
01:11:02What is this doing here?
01:11:05Whatever he did, I think he feels really bad about it.
01:11:09And I think he's still in love with you.
01:11:12Ma'am, the boarding is closing. Are you coming?
01:11:16Yes, we're coming.
01:11:19I'm sorry, sweetie. I can't let you fly.
01:11:21I'm not without a ticket.
01:11:24Ma'am, you'll need to choose.
01:11:25Are you staying here with her, or are you flying to New York?
01:11:28We're closing the doors in one minute.
01:11:32The flight departs in one minute.
01:11:39Come on, Natalie.
01:11:40I'll take you home.
01:11:47Oh, my God.
01:11:49Where'd you find her?
01:11:50She was at the airport.
01:11:52Airport!
01:11:53I wanted to go up to New York City with Mommy.
01:11:56She knows.
01:11:58I cried.
01:12:02Natalie, can you give us a minute?
01:12:03Okay, Daddy.
01:12:06Thank you for bringing her with me.
01:12:08Of course.
01:12:10But, um, before I go,
01:12:13I have a favorite mask.
01:12:14Anything.
01:12:16I can find Natalie a mother.
01:12:17Just make sure.
01:12:19Just make sure it's not, Trista.
01:12:21Okay?
01:12:23Okay.
01:12:27Bye.
01:12:52After all these years
01:12:54He never gave up on us
01:12:57After all these years
01:12:59He never gave up on us
01:13:06You probably could have come up with something better
01:13:08No, it's perfect
01:13:13How long have you been working on this?
01:13:16A few years now
01:13:19Ever since I left?
01:13:22Maybe
01:13:25But why?
01:13:28I couldn't let our dream die
01:13:30Just because our marriage did
01:13:32That crazy dream?
01:13:35Doesn't look so crazy anymore, does it?
01:13:39No, it doesn't
01:13:40Helly
01:13:42Not a day goes by where I don't think about you
01:13:46And I know, I know
01:13:47You won't believe a word I say
01:13:49But I thought
01:13:51Maybe you'd believe something you could see
01:14:01Is that us?
01:14:03Yeah, it is
01:14:11I love you
01:14:13And I never stopped
01:14:30I've missed this for so long
01:14:33I've wanted this
01:14:34For so long
01:14:35No
01:14:37No, we have to stop
01:14:41The papers are signed, Craig
01:14:43I'm engaged to someone else
01:14:46And it's too late to turn the clock back now
01:14:51Send me a picture when the town's rebuilt, okay?
01:14:54That's the thing
01:14:56It won't be
01:14:58What?
01:14:59What do you mean?
01:15:01I got this in the mail today
01:15:02My plans were approved
01:15:04But Dirk Diggle
01:15:06Bought up all the local contractors
01:15:07And I can't afford anyone else
01:15:09So
01:15:10I'm going to have to rescind my offer
01:15:12No, you can't do that
01:15:14I have to
01:15:15I don't have a choice
01:15:17What if I said
01:15:20I could help
01:15:23I could help
01:15:27Go back to New York, Hallie
01:15:29Don't worry about someone's
01:15:31Tiny little dream
01:15:32In a
01:15:34Nowhere town
01:15:35This was our dream
01:15:36Craig
01:15:41Besides, you helped me out with their dick loss
01:15:46She said she's not interested, bro
01:15:49Now let me help you
01:16:00Lulu
01:16:02Um, change of plans
01:16:04Send all of our best contractors to Franklin, Tennessee
01:16:07Also, cancel my pedicure appointment
01:16:16Have you come to withdraw your application, Craig?
01:16:18I knew you couldn't afford it
01:16:20Well, actually, I just came to give you the deposit
01:16:24We break ground tomorrow
01:16:27We
01:16:28We said we would fix this town up
01:16:31And that is exactly what we're going to do
01:16:38I never thought I'd see the day where our dream became a reality
01:16:41How long is always your dream?
01:16:43I was just happy to help
01:16:47Lulu!
01:16:48Oh, my God
01:16:50Wow, boss
01:16:51No wonder you never came back
01:16:54You never told me your husband was a stone-cold pot
01:16:56Oh
01:16:58Ex-husband
01:17:00Right
01:17:04Hallie
01:17:06Ned
01:17:06Hi
01:17:09What are you doing here?
01:17:10I told you I would be back next week
01:17:11You want to tell me what the meaning of this is?
01:17:18You told me there was nothing going on between you two
01:17:20Are you trying to embarrass me on a national stage?
01:17:24No, um, no
01:17:25Ned, I am so sorry
01:17:27I, uh, is your campaign okay?
01:17:30It's fine
01:17:30For now
01:17:32Luckily this is just a mock-up
01:17:34Post gave it to us before going to press
01:17:36Get in
01:17:38I am taking you home
01:17:41Ned, I told you this project is important
01:17:44Hallie, you build multi-billion dollar skyscrapers
01:17:47Not whatever this is
01:17:51This matters
01:17:52A sad little shopping mall in a sad little town
01:17:55Come on, Hallie
01:17:58You're better than this
01:17:59What's that supposed to mean?
01:18:02Being back here, it has you confused
01:18:04You don't know what you want
01:18:06You don't know who you really are anymore
01:18:08But this
01:18:11Is your past
01:18:12I am your future
01:18:14Remember?
01:18:16You still
01:18:17Want to marry me?
01:18:19Even after that?
01:18:20Yes
01:18:21In fact, I want to move the wedding up
01:18:23Let's get married right now
01:18:28Let's get married right now
01:18:30Right now?
01:18:32Um
01:18:34Excuse me
01:18:38Hey
01:18:39Seeing these photos
01:18:40It made me realize
01:18:42How much you mean to me
01:18:44I can't lose you, Hallie
01:18:46I don't want to lose you
01:18:47Please
01:18:49Marry me
01:18:53You're gonna marry her?
01:18:56She was cheating on you
01:19:00Who are you?
01:19:01I'm the woman that took these photos
01:19:04So, you admit to sabotaging a political campaign
01:19:07What?
01:19:09No
01:19:09Ma'am, you're lucky the senator doesn't press charges
01:19:12Come with me
01:19:13What?
01:19:14No, no, no
01:19:15You will not win this one, Hallie
01:19:17No!
01:19:18Don't touch me!
01:19:21Ned, this all just feels a little fast
01:19:24Yeah, but is it, Hallie?
01:19:26What are we waiting for?
01:19:30What are we waiting for?
01:19:34I don't know
01:19:36Quit fucking around
01:19:37And marry me already
01:19:39What's the rush, Ned?
01:19:41I
01:19:41The post agreed to kill the cheating story
01:19:43If we give them something better
01:19:47Something like
01:19:48A wedding, for example
01:19:51You want to marry me?
01:19:52For a story?
01:19:54Come on, Hallie
01:19:55We're gonna get married anyway
01:19:57What difference does it make?
01:19:58Was this whole thing just a publicity stunt?
01:20:03Our engagement?
01:20:05Our relationship?
01:20:07No
01:20:07Of course not
01:20:09I love you
01:20:10Then what's my favorite color, Ned?
01:20:13Oh, come on, Hallie
01:20:14My favorite flower?
01:20:18My favorite flower?
01:20:20I don't know
01:20:20Roses?
01:20:22Does it even matter?
01:20:23Yes, it does
01:20:27I'm sorry
01:20:29Ned, but I can't marry you
01:20:32Yes, you can
01:20:34Because if you don't
01:20:35I can make your life very difficult
01:20:39Starting with those big city contracts
01:20:41You just won
01:20:41I spent years of blood, sweat, and tears
01:20:44To get those contracts
01:20:45And once I'm elected
01:20:46I can make them all go poof
01:20:49I have friends in very high places, Hallie
01:20:52No, you wouldn't dare
01:20:54I've worked my entire career
01:20:55For those
01:20:56Well, then the answer is simple
01:20:59Marry me
01:21:01You're going to lose everything
01:21:02Come on, Hallie
01:21:04This is not a difficult choice
01:21:06You're hurting me
01:21:08If you think this is pain
01:21:09You haven't felt anything
01:21:10Get off
01:21:10Yet
01:21:11Neither of you
01:21:23My suit
01:21:25My jaw
01:21:26You broke my face
01:21:29Good
01:21:29Looks better that way in my opinion
01:21:32I have you arrested for assaulting a government official
01:21:35There isn't a cop
01:21:36Who will side with you over me
01:21:38Not in this town
01:21:39And by the way
01:21:42Her favorite color is blue
01:21:44And her favorite flower
01:21:46Is the marigold
01:21:47Because it blooms from spring to fall
01:21:50There you go
01:21:51I hope that suit isn't too expensive
01:21:54This suit is worth more than you make in a year
01:21:57Isn't that something?
01:21:59It's time for you to leave, Senator
01:22:01Come on, Hallie
01:22:02You're not going to give up everything
01:22:04Just for some pathetic small-town nobody
01:22:08He may be from a small town
01:22:11But he is not a nobody
01:22:15In fact, if I had to choose a son-in-law
01:22:17I'd pick him over you any day of the week
01:22:21Daddy
01:22:23Hallie, I am so sorry for everything
01:22:26Starting with meddling in your marriage
01:22:29Meddling?
01:22:30I'm the one that made Craig divorce
01:22:33I told him if he really loved you, he'd let you go
01:22:37He did
01:22:41I thought you deserved more than a small town
01:22:44More than a local boy like him
01:22:46She does, sir
01:22:49Come on, Hallie
01:22:51He divorced you
01:22:52He gave up a daughter for you
01:22:54So what if I want to marry you for a story
01:22:57People get married for worse reasons
01:22:59And they get divorced for better ones
01:23:03I don't care what you think, old man
01:23:05Hallie, you're coming with me
01:23:06You stay away from my daughter
01:23:08Hallie, I am not leaving
01:23:10You owe it to me to go through this wedding
01:23:13I've had about enough of people telling me who I should and shouldn't marry
01:23:20Get out of here, Ned
01:23:22It's over between us
01:23:27Get out of here, Ned
01:23:29It's over between us
01:23:32Fine
01:23:34I hope you know what you're giving up, Hallie
01:23:38I most certainly do
01:23:45It was too big anyway
01:23:48Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
01:23:50What about me?
01:23:52I'll marry you
01:23:53I'm sure the Post would love to see me at a wedding gown
01:23:57And I would look way better than Hallie ever would
01:24:00Not in a million years
01:24:03Oh my gosh, ew
01:24:05Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew
01:24:07Oh my gosh, I can't see me like this
01:24:15I owe you both
01:24:16I owe you both an apology for trying to play God
01:24:19Daddy
01:24:20Hear me out
01:24:21When I was in the hospital and hooked up to all those machines
01:24:25I just kept having the same wonderful dream
01:24:29This dream where you were still together
01:24:32This dream where you were both living the life you deserve
01:24:35I took that future and that life away from you
01:24:42Hallie
01:24:42Craig never wanted to divorce you
01:24:46Hallie
01:24:47Craig never wanted to divorce you
01:24:49How?
01:24:52This should be enough
01:24:53I want her on that plane
01:24:56Alone
01:24:57Whatever it takes
01:25:00I tried to pay him off
01:25:04And this is what he did with the money
01:25:07I've never seen someone work so hard for love
01:25:11Is this true, Craig?
01:25:13Mm-hmm
01:25:16Why didn't you just tell me?
01:25:18Because I didn't want you to hate your father
01:25:20Or blame him when he just thought he was doing what was right
01:25:24You were protecting me
01:25:27That's right
01:25:29You two are the only family you have left
01:25:32Unless
01:25:33You let me be a part of your family again
01:25:40Now I know this ring isn't exactly as big as your old one
01:25:46But some
01:25:48Can make me the happiest man in the world if you marry me again
01:25:53Yes
01:25:53Yes, Craig, I'll marry you
01:25:56Oh, perfect fit
01:26:03It always was
01:26:06Mommy, Daddy, I knew you would come back together
01:26:09Oh, shoot that
01:26:10Come on
01:26:12Up we go
01:26:13Dale
01:26:13That wasn't such a crazy dream
01:26:15I'd like you to meet your granddaughter
01:26:17Natalie Hallie Brody
01:26:19My dream came true
01:26:22Hi, Grandpa
01:26:23Hallie
01:26:24This is crazy
01:26:26But if we run
01:26:27We can make it to the town clerk before it closes
01:26:29I do not want to be divorced from you one second longer
01:26:33Me either
01:26:34Yeah?
01:26:34Yeah?
01:26:35Okay, what do we think?
01:26:37Who's up for a wedding?
01:26:39Yeah?
01:26:40Yeah?
01:26:41Yeah?
01:26:42Yeah?
01:26:46Hi
01:26:47Um, we would like to get remarried
01:26:51I can't accept your remarriage
01:26:53That's ridiculous
01:26:55Uh, what?
01:26:56Why?
01:26:57I can't accept your remarriage
01:26:59That's ridiculous
01:27:01Uh, what?
01:27:02Why?
01:27:03Well, because you were never really divorced in the first place
01:27:05Look right here
01:27:07You signed your name Hallie Bildner
01:27:10But your name is
01:27:12And always has been
01:27:12Hallie Brody
01:27:13Will you look at that?
01:27:17Wait, so, um
01:27:18That means the
01:27:19Custody papers?
01:27:22Well, that's, uh
01:27:23That's void
01:27:26So, you're still
01:27:27Natalie's parents
01:27:31Mommy!
01:27:32Mommy!
01:27:35Daddy
01:27:38I forgive you
01:27:39I forgive you
01:27:55I've got seven years to make up for
01:28:10I just want to thank you all for your faith in me
01:28:14And as your new mayor
01:28:16I promise to work tirelessly
01:28:18To bring this town back to what it once was
01:28:21Starting with
01:28:22The community center
01:28:24That Craig and Hallie so generously built
01:28:28Thank you
01:28:29We love you, Mel Martha
01:28:31Love you
01:28:39What do you think I'm gonna talk to you?
01:28:42What do you think I'm gonna talk to you?
01:28:45Looks like they've found a story to replace me with after all
01:28:54Is there a really baby right there?

01:28:58We're gonna be one big happy family
01:29:05We're gonna be one big happy family
