00:00:25You can release or I'll replace you.
00:00:33Come on.
00:00:53Hi!
00:00:54Happy birthday, Mama.
00:00:56Oh, it really is my birthday.
00:00:58Hi, sweetheart.
00:01:00Hello.
00:01:01Are you coming to dinner?
00:01:02Sorry, Mom. Final sweet.
00:01:04Oh.
00:01:05Open your present now, Mom.
00:01:06Okay.
00:01:16Oh, it's beautiful.
00:01:20It's so beautiful.
00:01:22Oh, thank you, honey.
00:01:24Thank you so much.
00:01:26Oh, you are such good children.
00:01:28I think your dad will remember.
00:01:32He didn't forget last year.
00:01:34Well, that's because the two of you spent the whole month dropping hence.
00:01:38This year, he's been in San Francisco for the last three weeks.
00:01:48Mark?
00:01:49I'm starting to get worried.
00:01:50What took you so long?
00:01:52You better hurry.
00:01:54Mark?
00:01:56Did something happen?
00:02:00It's not the twins. I just saw them.
00:02:05Where's your luggage?
00:02:06Mark, what is it?
00:02:18All right, Maggie, now listen to me.
00:02:19This isn't easy for me to say.
00:02:20I'm just gonna say it.
00:02:22I'm not happy.
00:02:24I don't think either one of us is happy.
00:02:26I mean, if it's not good for me, how can it possibly be good for you?
00:02:28Huh?
00:02:30Now, Maggie, the kids are grown.
00:02:32And we've changed.
00:02:34We're not the same people we were 20 years ago.
00:02:3622.
00:02:38We've been married 22 years in June.
00:02:4222.
00:02:4322.
00:02:45I didn't plan for this to happen.
00:02:46I mean, I didn't go looking for this to happen.
00:02:49Honest to God, Maggie, this just happened.
00:02:52And you know what a comfort that's always been for me, Mark.
00:02:54Yeah, well, this is a little bit different.
00:02:57I want to get married. I want to marry her.
00:03:01Maggie, look, I mean, we've been working together all these months up in San Francisco, you know?
00:03:06I mean, I mean, you met her.
00:03:08You met her at the Christmas party last year.
00:03:11Jennifer Brody, she's about 27, I don't know, blonde.
00:03:15Comes up to about...
00:03:18About here.
00:03:26Sorry.
00:03:28Just...
00:03:30Maggie, I want a divorce.
00:03:31I want...
00:03:33You know what I want to do?
00:03:34I...
00:03:35I don't want to lie to you anymore.
00:03:36I don't want to sneak around anymore.
00:03:37I don't want to...
00:03:38I don't want to do any of that sort of thing.
00:03:39I want to be honorable about this whole thing.
00:03:42Honorable?
00:03:45Is leaving your wife for another woman honorable?
00:03:49I'll tell you what.
00:03:51I'll have somebody come by and get my things.
00:03:53And then, uh...
00:03:55I'll have Arnie call you about the terms.
00:03:57And please don't worry about the thing.
00:04:00I mean, I'm gonna be...
00:04:01I'm gonna be generous with you.
00:04:02And you know I will.
00:04:10Mark?
00:04:14You forgot to wish me a happy birthday.
00:04:15Give me a happy birthday.
00:04:24I'm sorry.
00:04:27I'm sorry, Maggie.
00:04:28I didn't realize it was today.
00:04:29Of the day.
00:04:39I'm sorry, Maggie.
00:04:42I'm sorry.
00:04:47I'm sorry.
00:04:53You're sorry.
00:04:54I'm sorry.
00:04:55Happy birthday to my oldest and dearest friend.
00:05:23Emphasis on the oldest. My gentleman caller, Walter, where is it Tom? Oh, anyway, whatever, he looks like Harrison Ford, and he's parking the car now, and I have the most fantastic bottle of champagne, and I think we should pop the cork and immediately start celebrating.
00:05:43What? Oh, no. By the look on your face, I can only wonder who Mark has been up to this time.
00:05:53Jennifer, blonde, 27, comes up to about here on him. Good old Mark, one notch above an alley cat. Oh, no, he's honorable now. He's gonna marry this one.
00:06:04I don't know what to do, Sam.
00:06:08Oh, come home as fast as you can. I mean, look, Chicago is Markstown. You never intended to stay here anyway.
00:06:16My children are here.
00:06:17The twins have their own lives. I mean, you hardly ever see them. Settle this and come home. You could be in Deep Cove in a couple of months. Let me get rid of Harrison Ford. We're gonna talk this out.
00:06:30We'll sit down and figure out what to do.
00:06:33Hi, guys. Thanks for your help.
00:06:49Hi. I'm sorry I'm late. Closing took so long. I thought I'd be finished two hours ago.
00:07:01No problem. We got everything in. Here's the receipt. I hope you own this house.
00:07:05Well, the agent says that I do. I call the twins. Peter's still mad at me for moving.
00:07:13Oh, well, everybody's like that at 19. You know how kids are. They don't want anything to change except themselves.
00:07:19But now it's your turn. My turn.
00:07:23Whatever that means.
00:07:25Well, I got a good idea. Let's go to my house. We'll take a hot shower. We'll order a little Chinese. And we'll watch out of Africa.
00:07:33I think you're gonna feel a lot better when you see what Meryl Streep's been through.
00:07:36Oh, Sam. I want to get it over with. I'm gonna have to stay here alone sooner or later.
00:07:42Come on. I got clean sheets and towels, and I know exactly where they are.
00:07:46Oh, honey. You look so sad.
00:07:53All right. Okay. All right. Be alone. Get your breath.
00:07:57Thanks, Sam.
00:07:59You're gonna be fine. And we are going to have a great time.
00:08:06See ya.
00:08:16A little higher. Just a little higher. Yes, that's perfect.
00:08:25Okay.
00:08:28Woo! All right.
00:08:31Sam, I haven't decorated anybody's house but my own in so long.
00:08:34Well, you know, design is like sex. After a long absence, you may be a little nervous, you may think you need to be shown a few things, but then it all comes back to you.
00:08:42You know, I'm really excited about all of this, but I can't stop thinking about what I've lost.
00:08:48With Mark?
00:08:50You lost that a long time ago.
00:08:52And the twins are gonna come visit. Come on!
00:08:55You lost that a long time ago.
00:09:12You're going to be home.
00:09:17¶¶
00:09:47Oh, lucky for them, it's going to be Summer House.
00:09:53Nobody should have to live through that renovation.
00:09:55I don't even want to think about the bathrooms.
00:09:57I think a good architect for this would be Mark Payne.
00:10:00Why him?
00:10:01Well, he's very, very good.
00:10:02He's also newly single and gorgeous.
00:10:05You need to start mixing a little pleasure with your business.
00:10:08You're not interested, Maggie.
00:10:10It's been two years, and all you do is work.
00:10:14You need to taste life.
00:10:15You need to find a great fashion like Angus and I had.
00:10:19You know, the kind where your heart pounds and you feel really hot all the way down.
00:10:23Sam, the thought of dating again, ugh.
00:10:26Maggie, who said anything about dating?
00:10:29I'm talking about some delicious sex.
00:10:32Sam!
00:10:32Men and love and sex are normal and healthy and fun.
00:10:38You can't hide from them forever.
00:10:40Men are fun!
00:10:43Okay, all right.
00:10:44I shall not press.
00:10:45On the way to the tile store, I'm going to show you my new way of having a little fun.
00:10:55I've had this fantasy for the longest time.
00:10:58I think this would make an amazing country inn.
00:11:01You know, it's a really great gourmet restaurant.
00:11:04A romantic little rendezvous.
00:11:06It's just what this town needs.
00:11:07Oh, boy.
00:11:17Well, you've got to be kidding.
00:11:21How much money did Angus leave you?
00:11:23I mean, wouldn't it be easier just to take it all out and burn it?
00:11:26You think I'm risking my money?
00:11:28No way.
00:11:29I've got a couple of rich investors who are perfectly happy to burn their money.
00:11:34Well, this is their big chance.
00:11:36Well, and this must be Hutt's tomb.
00:11:43Hey, come on.
00:11:44Where's your imagination?
00:11:46This is a very romantic little lounge.
00:11:51Trust me.
00:11:52I just met the guy who lit the bank well place.
00:11:55He turned that old mausoleum into a palace.
00:11:58The guy's a lighted genius.
00:12:00Well, if he's so good, why did you just discover him?
00:12:03Because he just moved here from Crestridge.
00:12:06I'm telling you, his resume is amazing.
00:12:08You know, Rhode Island School of Design, five years of the best homes in Westport and his photography portfolio.
00:12:15Oh.
00:12:15There he is.
00:12:18Rather handsome, don't you think?
00:12:20Wow.
00:12:21He's too young for you, Sam.
00:12:23I know.
00:12:23Life can be so unfair.
00:12:25Jake.
00:12:26Hi.
00:12:26How are you?
00:12:27Uh, Maggie.
00:12:28I'd like for you to meet Jake Cardell.
00:12:30And this is my business partner, Maggie Sorrell.
00:12:35What's her?
00:12:36Well, Maggie, why don't you, uh, tell Jake what you had in mind here?
00:12:43About the room.
00:12:45The room.
00:12:45Well, it's too dark.
00:12:52No kidding.
00:12:55Well, okay, off the top of my head, um, we could cut in some windows over there, and we could lighten up this old wood.
00:13:03It'd be a shame to cut into this beautiful old wood.
00:13:06With the right lighting, this room could have a great golden tone.
00:13:10It takes wood years to achieve this kind of patina.
00:13:12Yeah.
00:13:13It could be very romantic in here.
00:13:17But, hey, you two are the designers, not me.
00:13:20No.
00:13:20No, I mean, you're absolutely right.
00:13:25Well, I think this is going very well.
00:13:31Well, la-dee-da, you little cradle-ropper, you.
00:13:35Come on, I'm old enough to be his sister.
00:13:39I probably reminded me of somebody, an aunt or a teacher or something.
00:13:43Yeah, well, I'd get my lesson plans ready, because I think school is just about to start.
00:13:50See you later.
00:13:51I wonder where he goes for recess.
00:13:52I've been inside myself so long, I've covered all these walls with pictures.
00:14:05You don't have to knock in your own home.
00:14:08Bye.
00:14:09Bye.
00:14:12That's nice.
00:14:14Professor Deborah will be proud of you.
00:14:16He is.
00:14:17I sent him a picture of it.
00:14:18He wants to put it in an alumni show.
00:14:20That's great.
00:14:20And he asked about you.
00:14:23You got everything in here?
00:14:26Your seats and cancel checks and stuff?
00:14:29Jake?
00:14:30Yeah.
00:14:32We had ten good years together.
00:14:37I was wrong to lie to you the way that I did.
00:14:43But, Jake, I want to make it up to you.
00:14:45Amy.
00:14:48I kept my promise.
00:14:50I gave our separation a year.
00:14:53Nothing changed for me.
00:14:54I tried.
00:14:57You know I did.
00:15:01It's over.
00:15:02I'm sorry.
00:15:06I only stopped by because we still have to file a joint tax return.
00:15:11You drove all this way.
00:15:13You might as well stay for dinner.
00:15:19Let's just get divorced.
00:15:21Let's go on with our lives.
00:15:22Let's go on with our lives.
00:15:24Please.
00:15:27Jake, this is so hard for me.
00:15:29I've always kept my end of the deal.
00:15:32I will take care of you.
00:15:46Hello, Jake.
00:15:47Hi, Gwine.
00:15:48Sorry you dropped out there.
00:15:54You know Amy, if you'd had some children, I think he would have stayed.
00:15:59I mean, that's all he ever talked about.
00:16:00Kids.
00:16:02Oh, look at you.
00:16:04Look at you.
00:16:04Look at your hair.
00:16:05Look at your clothes.
00:16:07Look, if you want to get him back, you're going to have to do better than this.
00:16:10Not now, Mother.
00:16:11Not now.
00:16:12Oh.
00:16:14Hi.
00:16:14Hi.
00:16:14Hi.
00:16:14I wanted to get Ted in here before the day got too busy.
00:16:26Ted's a chief electrician here.
00:16:27Um, Ted, I want you to meet Maggie Sorrell.
00:16:31She's a designer.
00:16:33Hello.
00:16:33Hi.
00:16:35Listen, Sam called me at home last night.
00:16:37She said she wanted to expand the project to include the guest cottages.
00:16:40The guest cottages.
00:16:42Yeah.
00:16:43But she suggested we all meet at your house tomorrow so she can tell us what's on her mind
00:16:46and we can drive out together.
00:16:48Eight o'clock, right?
00:16:50Come around to the back door.
00:16:52The front door's hard to open.
00:16:53Okay.
00:16:56Ted, box is in the hallway.
00:16:57Okay.
00:17:10Sam, what do you think you're doing?
00:17:19Perfect timing.
00:17:21I just made some bread.
00:17:22Morning.
00:17:23All right.
00:17:23Come in.
00:17:26Sit down.
00:17:30Wow.
00:17:31Seems like, uh, I haven't had a home-cooked breakfast in forever.
00:17:36Really?
00:17:36Sam and I thought a handsome young bachelor like yourself
00:17:39probably gets all the home-cooked breakfast he wants.
00:17:44Not that we were talking about it.
00:17:46I mean, a single young man like yourself
00:17:49might not get many home-cooked meals.
00:17:51Which could be breakfast.
00:17:55Or not.
00:17:57Coffee.
00:17:59You want some?
00:17:59Yes.
00:18:07Smells delicious.
00:18:09It's too bad Sam couldn't make it.
00:18:19Food boy's name, she said.
00:18:21I hope so.
00:18:23I mean, I hope that's all it is.
00:18:29You like opera?
00:18:31Sorry.
00:18:32I never really cared for it.
00:18:33It's too bad.
00:18:34My father taught me.
00:18:39Other kids learn how to fish or learn to opera.
00:18:43This is Puccini.
00:18:45It's Madame Butterfly.
00:18:46It's a story of a Japanese maid who falls in love with an American sailor.
00:18:51She has this baby, and he marries another woman and she kills herself.
00:18:55Well, that's cheerful.
00:18:56Well, that's cheerful.
00:18:58But Magnus?
00:19:03Puccini said that he didn't write Madame Butterfly.
00:19:05It was dictated to her.
00:19:07Oh, my God.
00:19:08It's pretty interesting.
00:19:09Yes, it is.
00:19:11It's very interesting.
00:19:12It's very interesting.
00:19:13It's very interesting.

00:24:16I'm sorry if I was out of line.
00:24:23Good morning.
00:24:38Morning, Maggie.
00:24:39Somebody needs to measure those guest cottage windows today.
00:24:42I want to order the custom mill molding.
00:24:44I'll do it.
00:24:44You know what?
00:24:47I decided not to use those.
00:24:48We'll bring real tartans back from Scotland.
00:24:51Angus would have loved that.
00:24:53So, help me come up with a good name.
00:24:56Sam's Old Country Inn.
00:24:58That's boring.
00:25:02Sam's Opium Den and What Not Shop.
00:25:05Maggie.
00:25:09What?
00:25:10It's Jake, isn't it?
00:25:13Oh, my God, it is.
00:25:16So, what happened and how was it?
00:25:19Maggie, come on.
00:25:20I'm your best friend.
00:25:21You're supposed to tell me everything,
00:25:23no matter how titillating or scandalous or graphic.
00:25:26So, tell.
00:25:27It was just a kiss.
00:25:29A kiss?
00:25:31Really?
00:25:31Oh, and what a kiss, huh?
00:25:35Oh, I love that first kiss feeling.
00:25:38It's just such a delicious, nutritious thing.
00:25:43It's good, huh?
00:25:44Mm-hmm.
00:25:45Oh, that is so great.
00:25:47I'm so happy for you.
00:25:48What fun.
00:25:49A fling.
00:26:01I'd like to talk to you about what happened yesterday.
00:26:10I, uh, I haven't kissed a woman in more than a year.
00:26:20I've just been trying to concentrate on my work.
00:26:22I knew that day we drove out here together that
00:26:25something was happening to me.
00:26:30To us.
00:26:33I started doing my best work wherever I thought you might see it.
00:26:37I didn't plan what happened yesterday, but
00:26:38I'm glad it did.
00:26:46How old are you?
00:26:47We're 12 years apart.
00:26:48I asked Sam.
00:26:51She told me it.
00:26:53Oh.
00:26:54Sam.
00:26:55Look, the age thing doesn't...
00:26:58doesn't matter to me at all.
00:27:02I have feelings for you, Maggie.
00:27:04I'm very flattered, Jake.
00:27:08I admire you and your work very much.
00:27:12But I don't think that we should, uh...
00:27:16I should be going.
00:27:20Maggie.
00:27:23If you're telling me you're not interested
00:27:24or that I don't have a chance, I'll accept that.
00:27:29I won't mention it again, but...
00:27:32I'm just asking you...
00:27:34before you walk out that door...
00:27:37to be sure.
00:27:41Are you sure, Maggie?
00:27:42I'm sure.
00:27:42I'm sure.
00:27:42I'm sure.
00:27:46I'm sure.
00:28:13I'm sure.
00:29:18Yeah, we stopped now. We don't stop at all.
00:29:21Don't stop, Jake.
00:29:30These are really a little too conservative, but this is different.
00:29:34I like this. Is this hand-painted?
00:29:35I thought you might like it. It's very creative.
00:29:38Amy Cardell makes them.
00:29:40In fact, you might know Jake. He just moved over this way.
00:29:43I do know Jake Cardell.
00:29:45This woman's brother?
00:29:46Oh, no. Husband.
00:29:48Just moved over here to expand his business, she told me.
00:29:51It's her husband?
00:29:52Really?
00:29:53High school sweethearts.
00:29:55Married forever.
00:29:56How romantic.
00:30:03Hi.
00:30:04Find what you wanted? How'd it go?
00:30:06Yeah, yeah. I, uh, I found something all right.
00:30:10Have I got news for you?
00:30:11Have I got news for you?
00:30:13Well, you go first.
00:30:16Well, can't you tell?
00:30:17Isn't it written all over my face?
00:30:20Uh, actually, it is.
00:30:23It's Jake, isn't it?
00:30:24Mm-hmm.
00:30:25I was in the guest cottage measuring the windows, and he came in, and...
00:30:30I never knew it could be like that, Sam.
00:30:33I mean, you were right. I feel ten years younger.
00:30:35I've never felt so alive or excited my whole life, except when the twins were born.
00:30:39Well, aren't you happy for me?
00:30:45Yes. Yes.
00:30:48You all right?
00:30:49Just some iced tea in the kitchen or something stronger if you need it.
00:30:52Maggie, let me, let me ask you something.
00:30:54Um, you know how you read in those advice columns where people write in
00:30:59because they've discovered that the husband of a friend of theirs
00:31:03is having an affair with somebody, and they don't know whether to tell them or not?
00:31:06Yeah.
00:31:07You know, and then the columnist writes back and says, uh, don't tell her
00:31:11because it'll only make her feel more miserable,
00:31:13and, uh, the friend may hate you for telling her.
00:31:16Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:31:18Do you think that advice is right?
00:31:20Well, I think it depends on the situation, but generally, yes.
00:31:25I mean, look at all the affairs Mark had.
00:31:27I would have been happier not knowing.
00:31:29Much happier.
00:31:30I did hate the people who told me.
00:31:32Okay.
00:31:32I'm gonna, I'm gonna go get some of that tea.
00:31:35Whoa.
00:31:35Wait a minute.
00:31:37I just got interested.
00:31:39Now, somebody's husband is having an affair.
00:31:41Whose husband is it?
00:31:43Come on.
00:31:43You've got to tell me.
00:31:44Who is it?
00:31:45You know, it's this woman named Amy, and you don't even know her.
00:31:48Okay.
00:31:48Hi.
00:32:12Hi.
00:32:13Hi.
00:32:14I thought it'd be nice if we had dinner together.
00:32:17I already ate.
00:32:19Liar.
00:32:20You never eat before you've had your shower.
00:32:23So, you gonna let me come in?
00:32:25This basket's getting heavy.
00:32:26Yeah, sorry.
00:32:30I was just gonna have a sandwich and go to bed early.
00:32:34Please, Jake.
00:32:36Let me be good to you.
00:32:39You're always my best friend.
00:32:41Sometimes my only friend.
00:32:44Look, Amy, that was a long time ago.
00:32:46Since we were 15.
00:32:49Remember the first time?
00:32:51When I thought someone was shaking their car, but it was me.
00:32:54Do you remember?
00:32:57Yeah.
00:32:58We were good together.
00:33:02I remember.
00:33:06I blew it.
00:33:08It was so easy for us, and I took you for granted.
00:33:10I mean, I just stopped paying attention.
00:33:12I got so involved in my own life, and my work, and my art classes, and myself, and my problems.
00:33:17But I understand now.
00:33:24You didn't really leave me, Jake.
00:33:26I shut you out.
00:33:29And I'm so sorry.
00:33:30Because I wasn't a good wife.
00:33:32But I want to learn.
00:33:36You're the only man I ever learned.
00:33:37Amy, Amy, stop it.
00:33:41If we were really that good together, you wouldn't have lied to me like that.
00:33:43On something you knew meant everything to me.
00:33:48I was wrong.
00:33:50Let me make it up to you, Jake.
00:33:52Amy, I hate that you're so unhappy.
00:33:55I can't do anything about it, and I'm sorry.
00:33:56You just have to face that.
00:34:05There's someone else, isn't there?
00:34:08But I'm still your wife, Jake.
00:34:11And you took a vow with me, remember?
00:34:13And you used to be a man who kept his promises.
00:34:15Are you still that guy?
00:34:17Or a traitor?
00:34:18You tell me.
00:34:21You're the expert on betrayal.
00:34:22You're the expert on betrayal.
00:34:52Hi.
00:34:52Ah!
00:34:53You scared me.
00:34:54What brings you out in this heat?
00:34:58Turning on the air conditioning.
00:35:01Well, you're obviously not packing for Scotland.
00:35:04No.
00:35:05Didn't I tell you?
00:35:07Jake's picking me up at six.
00:35:08We're going to spend the weekend at Jermaine's.
00:35:09No, you didn't mention it.
00:35:11Must be pretty heady stuff for a middle-class boy.
00:35:14I mean, Jermaine's not even old money.
00:35:17Wait till he meets your really rich friends.
00:35:19Then he'll stick to you like glue for sure.
00:35:22Sam, I don't think I've ever heard you say anything quite so nasty.
00:35:27Well, stick around.
00:35:28The fun's just begun.
00:35:30What in the world is wrong with you?
00:35:33I'll tell you what's wrong with me.
00:35:35Maggie, a few daring sexual escapades are one thing.
00:35:39But it's only been a month.
00:35:43Five weeks.
00:35:44All right, five weeks.
00:35:45And you're taking him to Jermaine's for the weekend?
00:35:48And Bunny Gibson just called to say that you asked for him to be included on the guest list at Pia's wedding.
00:35:53You know, Bunny Gibson, and how seriously she takes her guest list.
00:35:58Is this happening?
00:36:00Are you telling me that Jake is not good enough to go to Pia's wedding?
00:36:04Is that because he's too young?
00:36:06Too handsome?
00:36:07Too talented?
00:36:08Or is it because he doesn't have enough money?
00:36:10Or is it because, Sam, you're jealous?
00:36:13None of the above.
00:36:14Then what is your problem?
00:36:16It's not my problem.
00:36:17Your problem is Jake is married.
00:36:21Yeah, you know, I mean, it was one thing.
00:36:23If it was just a little fling, I mean, it didn't matter, right?
00:36:25You know, but, um, well, I realized that, you know, I had to tell you about this before you got in any deeper.
00:36:34Maggie, look, I mean, considering the age difference, you know, and, well, as long as we're being brutally honest, the financial difference,
00:36:42you gotta let this guy go.
00:36:45I gotta go talk to Alice about a window treatment for the inn.
00:36:49Unless you want me to stay with you.
00:36:52I'm sorry, Maggie.
00:36:53I am so sorry.
00:36:59All the rooms are basically the same, but, you know, different fabrics, because the guest suite will, of course, be decorated differently.
00:37:06So.
00:37:07Sam, I'm sorry.
00:37:08Alice, just stand there for just one second.
00:37:11I'll meet you downstairs.
00:37:12Now, you see, there's too much white in me and their ex.
00:37:16People are gonna look like they're drinking themselves to death.
00:37:19I'll go get the others out of the truck.
00:37:21I'm gonna be out of here at five of the latest.
00:37:23You're not even divorced yet.
00:37:24Ted Gunderson.
00:37:28Your mother raised you better than to stick your nose into other people's business.
00:37:32Alice, thank you.
00:37:34I don't need you to fight my battles for me, okay?
00:37:36Oh, that's what you know.
00:37:37This is a small town.
00:37:39Word spreads fast.
00:37:40There's a lot of people doing to prove.
00:37:42This is between Maggie and myself, okay?
00:37:45As far as I'm concerned, nobody else can just go to...
00:37:46Okay.
00:37:47Right?
00:37:47Good.
00:37:48Okay.
00:37:49That's the kind of man Maggie deserves.
00:37:59Maggie!
00:37:59It's me!
00:38:02Hey.
00:38:04Aren't you ready?
00:38:04Sam told me that you're married.
00:38:13Yeah.
00:38:14I'm separated.
00:38:19I tried to tell you several times, but I kept thinking I'd be divorced soon, and I could tell you then.
00:38:25I just didn't want to complicate things between us.
00:38:32Leave your key over there.
00:38:33Hey, wait.
00:38:33Stop.
00:38:33Maggie.
00:38:34Look, it was a bad decision.
00:38:37I admit that.
00:38:37It was made out of fear.
00:38:38I was afraid if I told you, you wouldn't want to see me again.
00:38:40Good guess.
00:38:42Hey.
00:38:45You can't just give up on us like this.
00:38:48I love you.
00:38:50Oh, come on, Jake.
00:38:51We'll both get over our little affair.
00:38:53Is that all it meant to you?
00:38:54Oh, no.
00:38:56It mattered to me.
00:38:57But not to me?
00:38:59You may think I'm too young for you, but I work hard in my life.
00:39:01Too hard to waste time on things that aren't important to me.
00:39:04You, my work, and children matter to me.
00:39:09How diplomatic of you not to mention your wife.
00:39:12And how many secret children are there?
00:39:16I wanted children.
00:39:18More than anything in the world.
00:39:22And she was on the pill, and she never told me.
00:39:23I moved out.
00:39:26And I thought that with maybe a little time and distance, I could learn to trust her again.
00:39:32But a year passed, and nothing changed.
00:39:35I asked her.
00:39:36I asked her for a divorce.
00:39:37And then I met you.
00:39:45And you got to sleep with an older woman.
00:39:49How does that song go?
00:39:50They're grateful as hell, and they never tell.
00:39:53And the older woman even has a little money and a knack for choosing the wrong man.
00:39:57You hit the jackpot.
00:39:59You really think I care about your money?
00:40:02I make good money.
00:40:03I wanted you more than anything.
00:40:11I know from experience that you can't create love where there isn't any, and we both know there's love here.
00:40:17Be realistic, Jake.
00:40:19If you want children, I'm wrong for you, too.
00:40:22I am realistic.
00:40:24There's lots of kids out there that need parents.
00:40:28I'd love to have some of my own, but maybe all I can do is be a father to a kid who needs one.
00:40:33As long as I have you.
00:40:40I seem to choose men who tell excuses beautifully.
00:40:44With Mark, it was an art form.
00:40:46I'm not Mark.
00:40:48No, I'm sorry.
00:40:51Of course you're not.
00:40:54But I'm not sure I know who you are now.
00:40:57I'm the same man I was.
00:41:00Who made a mistake.
00:41:01And I'm sorry.
00:41:02I'm sorry.
00:41:03When you come back from Scotland, I'll be free.
00:41:10I'll be waiting for you to marry me.
00:41:17I'm going to need a little time.
00:41:21And some distance.
00:41:22I'm going to take whatever you need.
00:41:30Because I'll be here.
00:41:31I'm going to need a little time.
00:41:37I'm going to need a little time.
00:41:40Got the whole day planned.
00:41:49There are rare tartans in a shop about, I don't know, a mile away.
00:41:53Then we're going to go to another little shop that specializes in antique pewter.
00:41:57And then a very highly recommended restaurant where we've been asked to try the local favorite dish.
00:42:04It's a delicious sheep stomach stuffed with oatmeal.
00:42:08Sam, I'm sorry. I can't.
00:42:10This is the worst case of jet lag I've ever had.
00:42:12Um, it's been two weeks. I don't think you could still have jet lag.
00:42:17Maggie, what is the deal? You are mooning around like a schoolgirl.
00:42:21I'm telling you, get rid of this guy.
00:42:25No. Before we left, Jake asked me to marry him, and I'm thinking about it.
00:42:30You are?
00:42:33Oh, Maggie, no wonder you didn't tell me.
00:42:36Look, if Jake wanted to be divorced, he would be divorced by now, and you know that.
00:42:42What if he's lying, you know, to get what he wants?
00:42:45What if he's on the rebound? I think you've had a little experience with that.
00:42:48I know.
00:42:49If I hadn't fallen for every lie Mark told me for 20 years,
00:42:52if I had any confidence in my own judgment at all, I'd marry Jake in a heartbeat.
00:42:56Indeed. I adore Jake.
00:42:58Oh, man, there's no fool like an old fool.
00:43:02There. I've said it.
00:43:05Well, maybe I am a fool.
00:43:08Maybe Jake is on the rebound.
00:43:11Maybe he's so young, I look ridiculous, like one of those women who's had too many facelifts.
00:43:15No, you don't look like Sarah Winningham.
00:43:17She looks like a gargoyle in a Chrysler building.
00:43:18But part of me simply loves him.
00:43:24With Mark, I was always perched on the edge of disaster, and I knew it.
00:43:28But with Jake,
00:43:29I feel peaceful.
00:43:33I feel safe.
00:43:36I feel loved.
00:43:37Maggie, you know I love you.
00:43:39I just don't want to see you hurt.
00:43:42That makes two of us.
00:43:45Okay.
00:43:45All right.
00:43:48If he's divorced by the time we get home, I'll push you down the aisle myself.
00:43:53On roller skates.
00:44:02Maybe you caught a bug on the plane or something.
00:44:09I don't think I caught this on a plane.
00:44:13How are you doing?
00:44:15Hey.
00:44:25How you doing?
00:44:26Sorry, I'm late.
00:44:28It's okay.
00:44:28You want something?
00:44:30It's on me.
00:44:34I'll just have a nice TV, please.
00:44:37So.
00:44:39Amy, look.
00:44:40Let's forget what happened at my house the other night, okay?
00:44:42Let's just move on.
00:44:47Just hang it on.
00:44:50It's not good for either one of us.
00:44:55Indecision, you know.
00:44:56That's what they say.
00:44:57It's the indecision that kills you.
00:45:00So what do you say, Amy?
00:45:02Come on.
00:45:02This isn't doing anybody any good.
00:45:08Including you.
00:45:12You look awful.
00:45:15I'm sorry.
00:45:15I want to end your and our suffering.
00:45:19Jake.
00:45:20I have cancer.
00:45:27What?
00:45:30Ovarian cancer.
00:45:34The words were so ugly.
00:45:37I can hardly say them.
00:45:40I guess all those years not wanting to have a baby, this is my punishment.
00:45:45Don't say that.
00:45:49Amy, are you sure?
00:45:54Did you get a second opinion?
00:46:00Amy.
00:46:02I'm sorry.
00:46:03I'm so scared.
00:46:11I'm so scared, Jake.
00:46:15Oh, the garden's beautiful.
00:46:24Hi.
00:46:26Oh, please.
00:46:28How did the Scottish stand it?
00:46:30I didn't know it was August.
00:46:32Why don't you do that stuff inside?
00:46:33Aren't you cold?
00:46:34Mm-mm.
00:46:35Okay, three weeks of jet lag, and now you're a blast furnace.
00:46:38What's going on with you?
00:46:42Maybe it's because I'm pregnant.
00:46:44Maybe it is.
00:46:45It's just when we're getting to the age where everybody's hot and nothing goes according to schedule.
00:46:49No, I am.
00:46:50I took the test.
00:46:53You took the test?
00:46:55Here?
00:46:55Well, it's not exactly Outer Mongolia.
00:46:59Oh, Maggie.
00:47:00Oh, my God.
00:47:03Well, all right.
00:47:03I'll be there for you, whatever you do.
00:47:05What are you going to do?
00:47:06I'm going to have a baby with the man I love.
00:47:10Have you lost your mind?
00:47:13If worse comes to worse, I'll raise and feed and educate this baby all by myself.
00:47:18I'll give you this, Maggie.
00:47:20You're tough.
00:47:20I know women who would throw themselves in front of a train in your fix.
00:47:27Me, for instance.
00:47:28I'm happy.
00:47:30I feel lucky.
00:47:32Well, all right.
00:47:33Three days in London, and then we'll go home and we'll see how lucky you are.
00:47:38But I'm there for you.
00:47:39I'm there for you, whatever you do.
00:47:41Okay, I got it.
00:47:50I got it.
00:47:51I got it.
00:47:53Hello?
00:47:58Mark.
00:47:59You're Mark.
00:48:00What are you doing here?
00:48:02What's he doing in London?
00:48:03I don't know.
00:48:11I'll just have caramel milk tea, please.
00:48:27All right, Mark.
00:48:29What's this all about?
00:48:30Well, I was going to be in London to see a client, and I called your store.
00:48:33They said you were here.
00:48:35I couldn't pass up an opportunity to see you.
00:48:48You look good, Maggie.
00:48:51We had 25 good years together, you and I.
00:48:5422.
00:48:55And that famous charm is wasted on me.
00:48:58Okay.
00:48:59Okay.
00:49:00I understand why you're angry, and I don't blame you.
00:49:03But you have to admit, we had a good life, you and I.
00:49:07And the kids.
00:49:08God, Maggie, I wish I had that back.
00:49:12You mean you had a great life.
00:49:15I didn't have a life.
00:49:18The only time I was really happy was when I had that great little design job when we first
00:49:22got married, and you made me quit that.
00:49:24When I had the children, I became invisible to you.
00:49:27So don't tell me what a wonderful life we had.
00:49:30I was there.
00:49:31Okay, Maggie.
00:49:32You're right.
00:49:33I was wrong.
00:49:34I was stupid.
00:49:34I was unappreciative.
00:49:36All right?
00:49:36I never meant to hurt you.
00:49:40You never meant to hurt me?
00:49:43You cheated on me.
00:49:44You dumped me in the most cold-hearted manner.
00:49:46You would only speak to me through attorneys for three years.
00:49:49And now, out of nowhere, you show up in London to tell me that you're sorry?
00:49:53What happened?
00:49:53Did Jennifer leave you?
00:49:54Oh, my God.
00:50:06She did, didn't she?
00:50:09She left you?
00:50:11Well, yeah.
00:50:14She started seeing this other guy about six months ago, and I didn't know anything about
00:50:18it until she left me.
00:50:21That hurts, doesn't it?
00:50:22Yeah?
00:50:26It made me realize how much I lost when I lost you.
00:50:30Maggie.
00:50:31Maggie, I want to give it another shot.
00:50:32I want our kids to have their mother back.
00:50:36You lied to me, Mark.
00:50:37You took away all my trust, even the trust I had in myself.
00:50:42I'll try to forgive you for that, but I will never make the mistake of forgetting it.
00:50:47And as for Hannah and Peter, they are and will always be my children.
00:50:51I don't need to be married to you to be their mother.
00:50:55You might want to think it over.
00:50:59I mean, you don't want to end up alone now, do you?
00:51:01And what is it exactly that makes you think that I'm alone?
00:51:07You can't be serious.
00:51:11Only if you take marriage seriously.
00:51:3112 hours can't do anybody any good on a plane, but even in first class.
00:51:57But I really wanted to see you.
00:51:59I'm sorry I couldn't be there to pick you up.
00:52:01I had something I couldn't get out of you.
00:52:05You look great.
00:52:10So healthy.
00:52:13I think.
00:52:16Jake.
00:52:17What are you doing?
00:52:24Tell me again.
00:52:25How was Scotland?
00:52:28Well, you know.
00:52:28It was cold.
00:52:31It was cold.
00:52:34Cold.
00:52:36Imagine that.
00:52:38In August.
00:52:41It's like a different world.
00:52:45It's like one of those things you could only dream about.
00:52:49One of those things you could hardly think at all.
00:52:51When it's been so hot over here, so it's really hot.
00:53:02Cold, do you say?
00:53:05Freezing.
00:53:08It must have felt nice.
00:53:10To be so cold in August.
00:53:13Well, I didn't feel all that cold.
00:53:16I didn't feel all that cold.
00:53:22I feel like...
00:53:30Jake.
00:53:31I don't want to talk anymore.
00:53:32Jake, I don't want to talk anymore.
00:54:02I don't want to talk anymore.
00:54:32I don't want to talk anymore.
00:55:02I love warm summer evenings out here.
00:55:11I love the trees, I love the flowers, I love this house, I love my life.
00:55:18But most of all, I love you.
00:55:22I'm the happiest woman in the world.
00:55:26It's probably dangerous to be this happy.
00:55:27Jake, I have something to tell you.
00:55:37What's wrong?
00:55:46Amy's got cancer.
00:55:49It's ovarian cancer.
00:55:50Oh, Jake, I'm so sorry.
00:55:57Is she going to be all right?
00:55:59I don't know.
00:56:01They don't know, you know, the doctors never really know.
00:56:03Well, this changes things, doesn't it?
00:56:19Maggie, listen.
00:56:20Once the treatments are over and the cancer's in remission, we can get married then.
00:56:29I promise.
00:56:29But I can't turn my back on her now.
00:56:35No, of course you can't.
00:56:37I just told you I wanted to marry you.
00:56:42I know, Jake.
00:56:45And I believe you.
00:56:48But everybody knows that cancer can come back.
00:56:52In a week, in a year, who knows?
00:56:54When is Amy going to feel strong enough to let you go?
00:56:57And you're going to feel safe enough to leave her.
00:57:04An honorable man wouldn't divorce Amy now.
00:57:08And you're an honorable man.
00:57:12If you weren't, I wouldn't love you as much as I do.
00:57:24You know, I'm this close to having everything I ever wanted in my life.
00:57:35Maggie.
00:57:40Let's just take it a day at a time, okay?
00:57:45Are you cold?
00:57:46Uh-uh.
00:57:49Amy, you gotta eat.
00:57:52I got all these groceries for you.
00:57:55Yeah, I had a big lunch today.
00:57:59Maybe later, okay?
00:58:05It's not true.
00:58:07She tries to act like everything is okay.
00:58:09But it's not.
00:58:22Amy, I'm sorry I can't stay.
00:58:26I've got a hard day tomorrow.
00:58:29Okay.
00:58:29Mm-hmm.
00:58:33It's too bad.
00:58:35All your wife has tomorrow is chemotherapy.
00:58:44I'll be by on Thursday.
00:58:46If you need anything, just page me.
00:58:49Good night, Amy.
00:58:50Good night, Jake.
00:58:53Go ahead.
00:58:53I'm sorry I didn't want to wake you.
00:59:18I wasn't asleep.
00:59:22How is she?
00:59:26They give her poison.
00:59:30Carefully calculated doses of poison.
00:59:32I thought you were just going for their groceries.
00:59:45You were gone a long time.
00:59:47I don't have any clean shirts here.
00:59:49I'm gonna leave early and go home.
00:59:53Stop by my house and go to work.
00:59:54I like this turquoise color, but this is hardly Key West, though it's hot enough to be.
01:00:12This is killing me, Sam.
01:00:20But I don't think he could bear it if I told him about the baby now.
01:00:23He's suffering so much already.
01:00:26Staying with me instead of going back to Amy?
01:00:29Telling him would only make it worse for him.
01:00:31Well, it's not the kind of secret you can keep forever.
01:00:36You were right.
01:00:37I was a fool to get involved.
01:00:39No, I was wrong.
01:00:41Everything I said was wrong.
01:00:45And my godchild is going to be gorgeous.
01:00:51Suddenly everything seems like a bad dream.
01:00:53I can't believe this is happening.
01:00:56I can't believe this is real.
01:01:00I know the feeling.
01:01:02When they told me Angus had been killed,
01:01:05we had planned this great trip to Paris,
01:01:08and then he was dead.
01:01:09He was gone.
01:01:10Just like that.
01:01:12And all the love and brilliance and charm and potential,
01:01:17it was lost forever.
01:01:19Love meant nothing to whatever it is that causes planes to crash.
01:01:25And I was just sure that I had died with him.
01:01:29And then one day,
01:01:30I was just dragging myself over
01:01:32to have this argument with the contractor.
01:01:36And it was the wildest thing.
01:01:38Suddenly, I just felt Angus with me.
01:01:42I could feel his presence.
01:01:44You know, he was right there.
01:01:46And he was telling me what to say,
01:01:48you know, just like he'd always done.
01:01:49And this hard knot that I'd been carrying around in my chest
01:01:54for the longest time, it just dissolved.
01:01:58Love had conquered all, even death.
01:02:02I know you really love Jake.
01:02:05Don't give up.
01:02:06Something's bound to happen.
01:02:08You know, Angus really loved this blue.
01:02:24You just think positively and stay strong.
01:02:28Test results are good.
01:02:29When you feel better, you and Jake can adopt a child.
01:02:32I've lost Jake.
01:02:34You haven't lost him.
01:02:35He's still your husband.
01:02:36Mother, we don't even live together.
01:02:40He hasn't gotten the divorce.
01:02:42Comes by all the time.
01:02:45Don't you see, Amy?
01:02:47He still loves you.
01:02:48Oh, my God.
01:02:49My child.
01:02:50Oh, my God.
01:02:50Oh, my God.
01:02:50Oh, my God.
01:02:53Oh, my God.
01:02:54No.
01:02:54All right, thank you.
01:03:24I didn't know if I should come here or not.
01:03:40I thought you'd like some clean clothes.
01:03:49Her mother didn't make it.
01:03:52I'm sorry.
01:03:54I don't know if I should come here or not.
01:04:00Amy.
01:04:05Amy's alone in the world now, you know.
01:04:13As if she hadn't had enough rotten things happen to her on the one she's stuck with.
01:04:19You're too hard on yourself.
01:04:22You'll do the right thing.
01:04:23I'm losing track of what that is.
01:04:29Your place is with Amy now.
01:04:31We both know that.
01:04:34Even if you were with me, you wouldn't be with me.
01:04:38Do what you have to do, Jake.
01:04:44I release you from your promise.
01:04:45You're right there.
01:04:47I'm going to leave you in the world.
01:04:49I'm going to leave you there.
01:04:51I'm going to leave you there.
01:04:52Go.
01:04:52I'll go.
01:05:23Oh, dear.
01:06:05Thanks, God.
01:06:19His father's name is Jake.
01:06:23No.
01:06:25No, there's been a complication.
01:06:27No, not with me, Peter.
01:06:28With the situation.
01:06:30Hannah, would you tell Peter to calm down?
01:06:32I'm going to explain it all when you get here.
01:06:36Yes.
01:06:38Yes, I do.
01:06:40I love him very much.
01:06:43Here, sit over.
01:06:45Pull.
01:06:47Oh.
01:06:48Is it okay?
01:06:49Yeah.
01:06:52What's that?
01:06:53Hey.
01:06:54Thanks for bringing me here, Jake.
01:06:57You're my wife, Amy.
01:07:00I've got some of the organic tea you like.
01:07:03Do you want some?
01:07:03I'm sorry to show up unannounced.
01:07:05I would have called, but the battery, the cell phone died.
01:07:09I was out this way, I was halfway to the end, actually, when I realized I didn't have my plans with me.
01:07:22I thought maybe I could borrow yours.
01:07:23You still have a set at the house?
01:07:24Sure.
01:07:24They're inside.
01:07:24I'll just have to go inside.
01:07:25Here.
01:07:26No, it's all right.
01:07:27No, it's all right.
01:07:28I'll take that for you.
01:07:29No, it's all right.
01:07:30Maggie, are you pranking me?
01:07:31Maggie, are you pregnant?
01:07:32Maggie, are you pregnant?
01:07:33I'm not.
01:07:34I'm sorry.
01:07:35I'm sorry.
01:07:36I'm sorry.
01:07:37My cell phone died.
01:07:38I was out this way.
01:07:39I was halfway to the end, actually, when I realized I didn't have my plans with me.
01:07:40I thought maybe I could borrow yours.
01:07:42You still have a set at the house?
01:07:44Sure.
01:07:45Sure.
01:07:46They're inside.
01:07:47I'll just have to go inside.
01:07:50Here, I'll take that for you.
01:07:51No, it's all right.
01:07:54Maggie, are you pregnant?
01:08:04Is it ours?
01:08:07Yes.
01:08:12Why didn't you tell me?
01:08:16Why didn't you...
01:08:17I was going to tell you when I came home,
01:08:20but Amy was sick, and I thought you'd only suffer more knowing,
01:08:24and then when her mother died, I couldn't tell you.
01:08:26I didn't want to make it worse for you.
01:08:28I wanted to tell you so much, Jake.
01:08:31I wanted to share this baby with you,
01:08:33but you were already committed,
01:08:36and I thought if I told you, it would just tear you apart,
01:08:38so I kept waiting for you to find the right moment.
01:08:43I guess this is it, huh?
01:08:45I guess it is.
01:08:49You didn't have to protect me, you know.
01:08:53I understand, though.
01:08:58So, how are you? Everything okay?
01:09:00Mm-hmm. We're fine.
01:09:02Look. Look, I've got...
01:09:06That's his head.
01:09:08Those are his arms.
01:09:10Him?
01:09:11Mm-hmm.
01:09:11It's a boy.
01:09:13Yes, it's a...
01:09:14He's going to be here in person in four months.
01:09:17April 15th, they say.
01:09:19Can I keep this?
01:09:23You'll...
01:09:23Depending on how Amy is,
01:09:26you know, maybe I can...
01:09:29You know, I never meant for things to turn out this way.
01:09:47But I'll be a good father to the baby.
01:09:49I promise you that.
01:09:51I'll come over every chance I get.
01:09:53No, Jake.
01:09:53I don't want to see you.
01:09:56Why?
01:09:57It just makes it harder for me.
01:10:00I've had a lot of time to think about this.
01:10:02I knew from the start that I might have to raise this baby on my own,
01:10:05and that's what I'm going to do.
01:10:07So, of course, I want you to see him.
01:10:09I want you to be with him.
01:10:10But later, you have to give me some time.
01:10:14I guess you better get that.
01:10:27I guess you better get that.
01:10:27I guess you better get that.
01:10:48What are you doing here?
01:11:07I need to make my godchild come early.
01:11:09Oh, what a good idea.
01:11:12I'd forgotten how uncomfortable this gets.
01:11:14Yeah.
01:11:18You know, sometimes late at night, I'm all alone, and I feel my baby kicking.
01:11:24I'm ashamed of it, but I catch myself wishing that Amy would just...
01:11:30Oh, my God.
01:11:32Just die.
01:11:35Maggie, what Jake is going through is going to change him forever.
01:11:39He's not going to be the same person you knew.
01:11:41You've got to let him go.
01:11:43I know.
01:11:44I read someplace that breaking up should be like breaking a bone.
01:11:47Neat and quick, so it starts to heal.
01:11:50This is what I did.
01:11:53It's easier this way.
01:11:56Yeah.
01:11:58I can see that.
01:12:00Whoa, honey, we've got to go.
01:12:01Come on, their plane is landing.
01:12:03Sam, I'm not ready.
01:12:04Oh, you're as ready as you'll ever be.
01:12:05Come on, let's go.
01:12:06Oh, I don't think so.
01:12:07The kids will be home any minute.
01:12:08Come on.
01:12:09Come on.
01:12:09Come on.
01:12:09Come on.
01:12:09Come on.
01:12:11Come on.
01:12:11Come on.
01:12:11Come on.
01:12:11Come on.
01:12:11Come on.
01:12:11Come on.
01:12:12Come on.
01:12:12Come on.
01:12:13Come on.
01:12:13Come on.
01:12:14Come on.
01:12:15Come on.
01:12:15Come on.
01:12:16Come on.
01:12:17Come on.
01:12:18Come on.
01:12:19Come on.
01:12:20Hey.
01:12:21Hi.
01:12:22Hey, Sam.
01:12:23How you doing?
01:12:24Peter?
01:12:25Hey, Sam.
01:12:26Where's Mom?
01:12:27I don't know.
01:12:28Holy mackerel.
01:12:29Oh, wow.
01:12:30Wow.
01:12:31You look great.
01:12:32I can't wait to meet Jake.
01:12:33Is he here?
01:12:34No.
01:12:35No, he's at home.
01:12:36With his wife.
01:12:37I can't wait to meet Jake.
01:12:38Is he here?
01:12:39No.
01:12:40No, he's at home.
01:12:41With his wife.
01:12:42Oh.
01:12:43Wow.
01:12:44This really is complicated, isn't it?
01:12:45When you called to say that you were like this, I just assumed that...
01:12:47What's Stag going to say when he hears about this?
01:12:48Peter, what your father thinks of my life is irrelevant to me.
01:12:49I hope it is to you, too.
01:12:50If he left you for that god-awful Jennifer, I'd say it's irrelevant to me.
01:12:51Good girl.
01:12:52I just can't approve of this.
01:12:53Oh.
01:12:54Well, proof once again that girls matured agree with her is that it's not because of
01:12:55what you did.
01:12:56Oh, no.
01:12:57But what's David?
01:12:58That's good.
01:12:59You trust me.
01:13:00It's not that I'm going to end.
01:13:01What's Stag going to say when he hears about this?
01:13:03No, no, no.
01:13:04Okay.
01:13:05When you called to say that you were like this, I just assumed that that...
01:13:06What's Stag going to say when he hears about this?
01:13:07Peter, what your father thinks of my life is irrelevant to me.
01:13:08I hope it is to you, too.
01:13:09If he left you for that god-awful Jennifer, I'd say it's irrelevant to me.
01:13:11Good girl.
01:13:12I just can't approve of this.
01:13:17Well, proof once again that girls mature faster than boys.
01:13:25Wait till he finds out he's sleeping in the nursery.
01:13:32Will I ever meet Jake?
01:13:34Oh, I wouldn't count on it, honey.
01:13:47I wouldn't count on it.
01:14:17You like the blue? Thank you.
01:14:31I mixed it myself. I call it Angus blue.
01:14:34And I've repeated it over here in the tiles in the fountain.
01:14:37This is such a huge decorating job.
01:14:39I'm not doing anything else except maybe a Christmas tree for a couple of years now.
01:14:44Oh, you did see the Eastwoods in the lounge in there?
01:14:47Yeah.
01:14:48Well, it's kind of exciting.
01:14:50We're sitting next to that writer.
01:14:52What's his name?
01:14:54Sam can shake hands until the world is level.
01:14:57And she's got a hot date with that young writer whose name she pretends to keep forgetting.
01:15:03Oh, Hannah, I'm exhausted.
01:15:05Let's go home, okay?
01:15:06Okay, Mom.
01:15:09Okay.
01:15:13Dr. Chia, to oncology.
01:15:15Dr. Chia, to oncology.
01:15:23Jake.
01:15:26I'm sorry.
01:15:28Do we know you?
01:15:29I'm Maggie Sorrell.
01:15:31I designed a couple of projects with your husband.
01:15:34I'm Amy.
01:15:37I guess you're close.
01:15:39Yes.
01:15:40Any day now.
01:15:41And everything's going fine.
01:15:46I don't want to be late.
01:15:47Nice to meet you, Amy.
01:15:50Jake.
01:15:50Dr. Vallow, to emergency staff.
01:15:52Dr. Vallow, to emergency staff.
01:15:54So, could you outline all the letters for a little shading?
01:16:01Hi.
01:16:05Well, it's mine.
01:16:07All mine.
01:16:09Atta girl.
01:16:11I've got something for you.
01:16:15Oh, that's beautiful.
01:16:18Uh-huh.
01:16:19Now, bread that you may always have plenty, salt for the spice in life,
01:16:24and wine, that you will find great happiness in your new business.
01:16:28It's gorgeous.
01:16:29You know, this is a great marketing idea.
01:16:31You should give a basket just like this to every home you design.
01:16:34Well, nice of you to add that to my overhead now that I've brought you out.
01:16:37Well, you know, I'm just trying to keep you in business.
01:16:39Okay, come on in for just a second.
01:16:41I'm just finishing up the menus with Chef Louis, major prima donna.
01:16:46And then we'll head on over to the Ridgley's.
01:16:48Sam?
01:16:50I don't think we're going to the Ridgley's.
01:16:52You and I are going to the hospital.
01:16:53Now?
01:16:54Now!
01:16:56Come on.
01:16:57Come here.
01:17:02Oh, isn't he gorgeous?
01:17:06Oh, he looks just like...
01:17:08Oh, Mr. Ridgley.
01:17:09I was going to say Gandhi, but, you know, it's about the same.
01:17:12Look at him.
01:17:15Hmm.
01:17:16That's not who you look like.
01:17:17You know who you look like, don't you?
01:17:29Jake!
01:17:30Hi!
01:17:31Alice, how's it going?
01:17:32It's great!
01:17:33Came to get curtain hooks.
01:17:35Barely finished that crib bumper and the curtains for Maggie's nursery in time.
01:17:38Isn't it the truth?
01:17:39What do you mean?
01:17:43No, no, you don't know.
01:17:45Oh, it's a boy.
01:17:46Seven pounds, 14 ounces, 21 inches.
01:17:49I'm screaming lung power.
01:17:53When?
01:17:55Well, let's see.
01:17:56Tuesday?
01:17:57Yeah, that's right.
01:17:58The 16th.
01:17:59It was early in the evening.
01:18:00Six o'clock, I think.
01:18:02It's Maggie.
01:18:03She's all right?
01:18:03Yeah, it was a little shaky for a couple of days, but she's home now, and all of this
01:18:08is terrible for you and Maggie, but it's worse for that baby.
01:18:12You know, I know Maggie will want you to see him as often as you want.
01:18:15Just give her a little time.
01:18:17You take care of her.
01:18:20His name.
01:18:21What's his name?
01:18:25Sam.
01:18:26She called the baby Sam.
01:18:33She called the baby Sam.
01:19:03Well, I said, it's the story of a woman who falls in love with a man, and she has his
01:19:11baby, but he marries another woman, so she...
01:19:18Well, let's just say this isn't Cinderella.
01:19:24Well, your daddy could explain this a lot better if he was here.
01:19:32Oh, bless you.
01:19:34Oh, bless you.
01:19:35She's the one you had the affair with.
01:19:48That's when you and I were split up, Amy.
01:19:52I didn't consider it an affair.
01:19:54Maybe I was wrong about that, but I didn't.
01:19:56You're still my husband, Jake.
01:20:02I'm still here, Amy.
01:20:03That's not what I meant.
01:20:05There's a little of my mother's insurance money left.
01:20:09That'll go to you.
01:20:11Maybe, after the bills, there'll be something left for your son.
01:20:15Don't talk like that.
01:20:18I'm not afraid of it anymore, Jake.
01:20:21In fact, it feels like a relief.
01:20:25And I like the idea that I could do something for your baby.
01:20:29It feels right.
01:20:30I don't know what to say to that.
01:20:34There's nothing to say now.
01:20:38Not anymore.
01:20:42I didn't trust myself not to be like my mother.
01:20:46And it hurt so bad.
01:20:50To never satisfy her.
01:20:54And I didn't trust that I wouldn't do that to another helpless child.
01:21:00I wish you'd have told me you felt like that.
01:21:11Maybe we could have worked things out.
01:21:15I didn't understand it then.
01:21:22It's too late now.
01:21:23Don't wait too long after I'm gone, Jake.
01:21:33For your baby's sake.
01:21:38Too much has happened, Amy.
01:21:42Too much has changed.
01:21:44For her.
01:21:45Or for you.
01:21:46For you.
01:21:46For you.
01:21:53Oh, I love you.
01:22:03How are you doing there?
01:22:05Hmm?
01:22:06Good up.
01:22:10Oh, I love you.
01:22:11Jake, I'm so sorry.
01:22:41I don't think he's coming back, Maggie.
01:23:10I know. I just didn't want to know.
01:23:22That print's all wrong.
01:23:24Did I tell you my November occupancy was 95%?
01:23:28Yes, you did. And I did not pick this print. The client did.
01:23:32I'm going to lunch. See you, Alice.
01:23:42I want you to taste this dressing that my chef is making for Christmas.
01:23:47I think the man needs a raise or some other employee benefit, if you know what I mean.
01:23:53Mmm. Don't do that, Sam.
01:23:55What do you mean? I think it's delicious.
01:23:58Little Sam put a tape measure in his mouth.
01:24:10See? There you go.
01:24:11This is why I didn't want you to name him after me. Because look at the confusion it causes.
01:24:16You say the name Sam, and everybody turns around.
01:24:20And when you can walk, just think how nuts it's going to drive us.
01:24:23We'll leave the two of you.
01:24:30It's all right, Sam. You can stay.
01:24:32I think he's old enough to hear this.
01:24:36Of course. What was I thinking?
01:24:41Sam looks good.
01:24:54She's happy.
01:24:56Ian's doing really well, and she bought out her investors.
01:24:59No, I meant that, Sam.
01:25:02Of course.
01:25:03Well, he's happy too.
01:25:06He's healthy and smart.
01:25:08He's a little clown.
01:25:10I take him with me most of the time.
01:25:14I'd like to hold him.
01:25:16All right.
01:25:32Hey, Sam.
01:25:34I'm your dad.
01:25:37I play opera for him.
01:25:40I try to tell him the stories.
01:25:42He likes his own books better.
01:25:44Ducks and chicks mostly.
01:25:49Look at him.
01:25:52He's okay.
01:25:53He's perfect.
01:25:54Yeah?
01:25:55God, look what you did.
01:25:57My pleasure.
01:25:59Except for those last eight hours.
01:26:01I would have been there, Maggie.
01:26:03I'm sorry.
01:26:04I know I'm taking my chances coming here when you told me to stay away, but the only thing that kept me going all that time was thinking that maybe you told me to stay away just to protect yourself.
01:26:18Is that right?
01:26:19Is that right?
01:26:20You can tell me the truth.
01:26:21I can take it, but I need to know.
01:26:22You were right.
01:26:23I had to go away, Maggie.
01:26:24I had to think.
01:26:25I had to be sure I wasn't acting out of loneliness or guilt or grief.
01:26:38After all you'd been through, I thought you deserved that.
01:26:45Maybe he's not old enough to hear this.
01:26:49Hear what?
01:26:50I don't know how healthy it is for a child to hear his father propose to his mother.
01:26:55Well, he won't remember anything.
01:26:59Just in case.
01:27:00Hey, buddy.
01:27:01Sam.
01:27:02In the future, I will try to set a better example.
01:27:03I love you.
01:27:04I give you my word.
01:27:05I always will.
01:27:06Maggie's real.
01:27:07Will you marry me?
01:27:08No.
01:27:09No.
01:27:10No.
01:27:11No.
