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