00:01:11You can have mine.
00:01:12No, I couldn't.
00:01:13Yeah, you could.
00:01:14I've seen you in class.
00:01:15You are brilliant.
00:01:16You're gonna get way more use out of this than I ever would.
00:01:17Ow!

00:01:31Ow!
00:01:32Ow!
00:01:33Did you want to grab lunch or keep studying or...
00:01:40Yeah, grab lunch.
00:01:43Yeah?
00:01:44Great.
00:01:45When did you two get back from the honeymoon?
00:01:52Just an hour ago.
00:01:53And this 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.
00:02:02And when we get back, we're gonna rebuild this town.
00:02:09Together.
00:02:11Allie, get me some ice.
00:02:14Sure, Daddy.
00:02:18Are you two insane?
00:02:20Rebuild this town?
00:02:21This town is dying.
00:02:23And I want my daughter as far away from it as possible.
00:02:27Sir, we have a plan.
00:02:30We even applied to adopt a child.
00:02:32Even more reason to end this now
00:02:34before you keep her trapped here forever.
00:02:37I promised Allie's mother before she passed away
00:02:39that I would take care of our daughter.
00:02:42She deserves more than this two-bit town.
00:02:44And quite frankly, she deserves more than you.
00:02:47But sir, I love her more than anything.
00:02:50I promise.
00:02:51I will always take care of her.
00:02:53And you think that's important?
00:02:56She's going to be a world-class architect.
00:03:00You, you're a local boy with a hammer.
00:03:03If you truly loved her, you'd let her go.
00:03:07Let her make something of herself.
00:03:10Deep down, you know I'm right.
00:03:13Here.
00:03:17This 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
00:03:49while you study crumbling buildings?
00:03:52You're never going to be a real architect.
00:03:53The 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.
00:04:01Um, what, but, no.
00:04:04What about our plans?
00:04:07We were trying to start a family together.
00:04:09No, the last person I'd want to start a family with
00:04:12is you, Allie.
00:04:14I want a divorce.
00:04:15No, no, no, but where is this coming from?
00:04:21Hi, Craig, baby.
00:04:23Are you seeing Trista now?
00:04:26Yeah, just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:04:30Craig, no, what?
00:04:34I 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?
00:04:46Yes, but I'd like to change my ticket to one-way.
00:04:58Ms. Filner! Ms. Filner!
00:05:00You were just recognized as Time Magazine's
00:05:02top CEO to watch, and your company is taking
00:05:04the 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,
00:05:13billionaire politician Ned Vogel,
00:05:15are 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. Filner!
00:05:41Oh my God.
00:05:45Allie Bildner, you are the most impressive woman
00:05:50I've ever met.
00:05:52You are my soulmate.
00:05:54Buzzer.
00:05:56Buzzer.
00:05:58Buzzer.
00:06:00Buzzer.
00:06:04Will you marry me?
00:06:09Will you marry me?
00:06:11Allie Bildner, I love you more than anything.
00:06:15You are my soulmate
00:06:16and the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:06:19Will you make me the luckiest man in the world
00:06:21and marry me?
00:06:22Allie?
00:06:24Allie.
00:06:26Really leaving me to sweat here.
00:06:28And this suit is way too expensive for that.
00:06:31The most eligible bachelor in the country
00:06:33is proposing to me.
00:06:34So 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.
00:06:41Of course, I'll marry you.
00:06:51This ring must have cost a fortune.
00:06:54You're so lucky.
00:06:56When's the wedding?
00:06:57Ned wants to get married as soon as possible.
00:07:00You know, Allie would love a hot tea.
00:07:05We have a problem.
00:07:07And that is?
00:07:08We have a problem.
00:07:09And 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.
00:07:37Wait, the election is in six weeks.
00:07:39This could ruin my campaign.
00:07:41Just imagine the headlines.
00:07:42Senator's fiancee, already 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, Allie.
00:07:53I gotta take this.
00:07:54It's my campaign manager.
00:07:55But this is important.
00:07:57Yeah, so is this.
00:08:01Clarence, what's going on, buddy?
00:08:03Talk to me.
00:08:08Motherfucker.
00:08:26I never thought I'd hear from you again, huh?
00:08:34Thanks for meeting me here, Trista.
00:08:37So, you really ended it with her.
00:08:40What does it look like?
00:08:42Yeah.
00:08:44She's really gone.
00:08:46Good.
00:08:47So, there's this romantic movie playing at Cinema 6.
00:08:50I thought me and you can go and watch and we can cuddle.
00:08:54We're not going anywhere together, Trista.
00:08:57My heart still belongs to Allie, 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.
00:09:11No matter how much it hurts.
00:09:15Thank you for your help.
00:09:23I hate you, Allie Brody!
00:09:27No!
00:09:31Your call has been forwarded to an automatic...
00:09:35Fine.
00:09:37You want me to come after you, Craig Brody?
00:09:41I will.
00:09:51Leave the bag.
00:09:52I'll be five minutes.
00:09:57Let's go.
00:10:12It's been seven years, Craig Brody, and you broke my heart.
00:10:16Somehow, the peace is still beat for you.
00:10:25Allie!
00:10:26Well, what are you doing here, Hallie?
00:10:30Well, someone never signed the divorce papers, so we're still married.
00:10:34Sign the papers, Craig.
00:10:37I can't sign them.
00:10:39You can't?
00:10:40It'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.
00:10:49Only, the funny thing is, my ex-husband never signed the divorce papers.
00:10:53You're engaged.
00:10:55Yes, Craig! Or 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!
00:11:13I can't sign them.
00:11:15Why not?
00:11:16Because we have a daughter together, and I never told you.
00:11:25You're finally approved.
00:11:28After all this time.
00:11:31You even remember?
00:11:44Mommy!
00:11:45I'm sorry, but I'm not your mommy.
00:11:49Yes, you are. You are my mommy. Tell her, Daddy.
00:11:53Uh, Craig? What is she talking about?
00:11:55Natalie, why don't you go grab the nest? Because I said we'd go catch bullfrogs, remember?
00:12:00Okay. Is Mommy coming with us?
00:12:02No, Mommy and Daddy need to have a chat. Alright?
00:12:05Okay, Daddy.
00:12:09Want to tell me what the hell is going on?
00:12:12Well...
00:12:17Allie didn't come here to get back together.
00:12:20She came here to divorce me, and I have to let her move on.
00:12:29I tracked you down. In the library. In New York.
00:12:33And you were there with another guy.
00:12:36You looked happy. You looked free.
00:12:50Well?
00:12:53You know kids. Active imagination.
00:12:56She thinks every woman who comes on the farm is her mom.
00:12:59Alright, listen. Just leave the papers on the counter, and I'll sign them.
00:13:03I 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.
00:13:11Why, Craig? It's not like you have anything that I want.
00:13:15What do you have that I could possibly want?
00:13:19I'm ready, Daddy.
00:13:21Okay, um, I promise I'll sign them.
00:13:24I know better than to trust your promises, Craig.
00:13:27I got one for you too, Mommy.
00:13:29Oh, yeah. So, Miss Allie is going back to New York.
00:13:33So it's just going to be you and me, kiddo. Like always.
00:13:36Okay.
00:13:37I'm sorry. Just leave them in the living room. I'll sign them.
00:13:40No, no. Don't. Don't.
00:13:48Don't.
00:14:13No, no, no!
00:14:19Oh!
00:14:26No cell service still?
00:14:31Guess I'm walking.
00:14:33Mommy, help! Daddy's hurt.
00:14:39What happened?
00:14:40Daddy got bit by a big snake.
00:14:45Cobra?
00:14:49Daddy?
00:14:52You still remember how to draw out snake venom?
00:14:54Well, I haven't forgotten everything you taught me, Craig Brody.
00:15:02Here, keep the pressure on.
00:15:04Okay.
00:15:07Your Daddy will be fine. I promise.
00:15:18Hold still.
00:15:24Keep the pressure on.
00:15:31So, your daughter.
00:15:34She looks about...
00:15:36Seven years old.
00:15:39So she's Trista's?
00:15:41No, she's yours.
00:15:45She's yours.
00:15:47So, 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 sign the papers, Craig, and we can put this sham of marriage behind us.
00:16:00You've got to be kidding me.
00:16:02Where did they go?
00:16:03Daddy's had this photo in his nightstand for seven years, which means he still loves her.
00:16:09And if they loved each other once, they can love each other again.
00:16:13They just need another chance.
00:16:17I know.
00:16:25Where are the divorce papers?
00:16:28No.
00:16:38I will check into the Pequoy Inn for tonight.
00:16:41And we can look for the divorce papers tomorrow.
00:16:44The Pequoy closed years ago.
00:16:46There's always your father's.
00:16:48That's not an option.
00:16:51The way she said that, it's 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, but I'm not staying in your room.
00:17:12Wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:15You can stay in my room with me and Lucy.
00:17:18There you go.
00:17:28Wow, I love your room.
00:17:30Thanks, my dad helped me decorate it.
00:17:32Okay.
00:17:42Okay, look.
00:17:46Oh my god.
00:17:47I know it hasn't been easy, trying to start a family.
00:17:51But one day, the adoption will go through.
00:17:56We're going to have that baby, and you will be the most amazing mom.
00:18:03I love you.
00:18:27Good night, sweetheart.
00:18:32That 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?
00:18:51I guess I'm just remembering things wrong.
00:19:02I guess I'm just remembering things wrong.
00:19:32I guess I'm just remembering things wrong.
00:19:42Nothing I haven't seen before.
00:19:46Daddy?
00:19:51Do you know where McHaley went?
00:19:53Uh, no. I haven't seen her.
00:19:56Do you think she left us, Daddy?
00:19:58You know what? Just give me five minutes, and I'll help you look, okay, sweetie?
00:20:02Okay, Daddy.
00:20:05Come on.
00:20:25Craig, I'm engaged to someone else.
00:20:29You're not so married to me.
00:20:31You're not so married to me.
00:20:36How could this get any messier?
00:20:44I should go.
00:20:45I should go.
00:21:00Hey.
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?
00:21:19Hello! I brought scones!
00:21:24What the hell are you doing here?
00:21:28Craig and Trista are still together?
00:21:31I mean...
00:21:32Hi, baby.
00:21:34I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
00:21:36What a pleasant surprise.
00:21:38Holly?
00:21:39Daddy?
00:21:40Uh, excuse me.
00:21:43What 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, and 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.
00:22:24It's not right to hear that.
00:22:26Because it was a pretty good day for me.
00:22:28I'm sure it was.
00:22:30Listen, 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 my town.
00:22:40Okay?
00:22:41Come here, take a pastry for the road.
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.
00:22:58Oh my god!
00:23:01You New York bitch!
00:23:03Oh my god!
00:23:08Oh my...
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 here?
00:23:24My ankle! My ankle!
00:23:27That crazy bitch!
00:23:30Like I said, he will always choose me over you.
00:23:35Are you okay?
00:23:37Why are you asking her? I'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.
00:23:54It's okay Hallie, I forgive you.
00:23:56Even if you did break my leg.
00:23:58I didn't touch you.
00:24:00You need to put your petty jealousy aside.
00:24:02I divorced you for a reason.
00:24:04And coming back here to beg for him back is just pathetic.
00:24:09Actually, I didn't divorce Hallie.
00:24:12She's still my wife.
00:24:14What?
00:24:17Hallie is still my wife.
00:24:19Which means you just insulted her in her own house.
00:24:22So please leave Trista.
00:24:25Wait baby, this is just one big misunderstanding.
00:24:28You and my daddy get out of our house before we call the cops.
00:24:34Oh my god, ew, what 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.
00:24:48It was nice meeting you, Natalie.
00:24:51I'm sorry.
00:24:58Call me back.
00:25:02Hallie.
00:25:03No, I never understood why you left me for Trista.
00:25:06Of 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, there's something I need to tell you about Trista.
00:25:26I 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? What happened to the originals?
00:25:36It's a long story.
00:25:40Can you do it?
00:25:41It's Saturday.
00:25:43City Hall is closed until Monday.
00:25:45You're gonna need a certified copy.
00:25:47I think you're gonna have to stay the week in there, boss.
00:25:50I hope that's not a big problem.
00:25:53No, of course not.
00:25:55Well, looks like I am staying until Monday.
00:25:58Until I can get a new copy of the divorce papers.
00:26:00I don't have anything.
00:26:02Not a change of clothes, not even a toothbrush.
00:26:04You can just grab these at the store.
00:26:07Okay.
00:26:08Okay.
00:26:09Hey, Miss Hallie is staying.
00:26:23Stop looking at him like that, Hallie.
00:26:26You can't have feelings for him.
00:26:29Even if he is your husband.
00:26:39I can't believe how bad the town looks.
00:26:44When the factory closed, half the stores went moving.
00:26:48When the factory closed, half the stores went moving.
00:26:52At least Martha's Diner is still here.
00:26:54Martha Mae makes the best burgers in the world.
00:26:58Yeah.
00:26:59Remember our crazy dream to fix this place up?
00:27:03Of course I do.
00:27:05So, 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 in though, it's really competitive.
00:27:17Of course you will.
00:27:18I 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.
00:27:27Fix this town up.
00:27:28I am pretty good with a hammer.
00:27:31I need an assistant.
00:27:32How about a partner?
00:27:38Sounds perfect.
00:27:40Man, I could really go for a burger right now.
00:27:44I have an idea.
00:27:48Where are you taking me, Craig Brody?
00:27:53A picnic.
00:27:54Just like old times.
00:27:57Allow me.
00:28:05I hate you, Hallie!
00:28:12Wow, it's just like in high school.
00:28:15It looks the same, doesn't it?
00:28:17And feels the same.
00:28:20I love you, Hallie Bildner.
00:28:22And I want you to know, I will never, ever hurt you.
00:28:28I'm so sorry for hurting you, Hallie.
00:28:32Natalie and I were supposed to eat these on our picking trip.
00:28:38I don't think she'll forgive me.
00:28:42Triangles.
00:28:43Just what you tell me.
00:28:45It's Natalie's favorite way to eat them too.
00:28:48Oh, I have to take this.
00:28:50Hey.
00:28:51Hallie, the press wants to know why we haven't been seen together.
00:28:55They 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 and the city hall is closed until Monday.
00:29:08New divorce papers?
00:29:09What?
00:29:10Your location says you're at your old high school.
00:29:12What the hell is going on?
00:29:14It's complicated.
00:29:17No, it is not complicated.
00:29:19Okay, look.
00:29:21I am pulling in a favor from the governor.
00:29:23We're going to get those papers expedited and we're 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.
00:29:32An hour?
00:29:33Yeah.
00:29:34That's not going to be a problem, is it?
00:29:39Of 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.
00:29:59Just sign the papers when you get them, Craig.
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.
00:30:14No, Craig.
00:30:15No, I'm done waiting.
00:30:18It's time for me to move on.
00:30:24Hello?
00:30:26What?
00:30:27Are you sure?
00:30:29Okay, okay.
00:30:31Um, it's my father.
00:30:34He's had a stroke.
00:30:35He's at the community hospital.
00:30:37Come on, I'll drive you.
00:30:41Unless you're getting on that flight.
00:30:43No, uh, no, of course not.
00:30:45Okay, good, good, good, come 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 you're planning on sticking around this time.
00:31:18Excuse me.
00:31:24I had no idea.
00:31:26You didn't?
00:31:27When was the last time you saw him?
00:31:31Seven years ago.
00:31:35Hmm.
00:31:38Hallie.
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?
00:31:55Craig was right.
00:31:57I'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 laughingstock.
00:32:08You'll be a divorced loser.
00:32:10No one will want you.
00:32:11Not Craig.
00:32:13Not even me.
00:32:16Daddy.
00:32:17You 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.
00:32:40God, it's like the two of you were in cahoots.
00:32:44Should I tell her that we were?
00:32:47If I tell her the truth,
00:32:49she'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.
00:33:01You 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.
00:33:25I'm coming with you.
00:33:26Hallie, this isn't something that...
00:33:27I'm coming with you.
00:33:29Okay, come on.
00:33:32Natalie?
00:33:34Oh, my God.
00:33:35Oh, my God.
00:33:36Oh, my God.
00:33:37Oh, my 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?
00:33:52Yeah.
00:33:53I'm so sorry for leaving you alone for so long.
00:33:56It's my fault.
00:33:57No, no, no.
00:33:58I was happy to help, but...
00:34:01I think you missed your flight.
00:34:04So you're saying we can watch a movie together?
00:34:10I guess we can.
00:34:15Miss Hallie, come closer.
00:34:21Daddy, come closer.
00:34:24Isn't this great?
00:34:26Just the three of us.
00:34:31This blanket always makes my daddy fall asleep.
00:34:53Oh, my God.
00:34:59I love you, Hallie Brody.
00:35:03Why does this feel so...
00:35:06right?
00:35:08He's still my husband.
00:35:10And I know every freckle in his eyes.
00:35:14I know.
00:35:16I know.
00:35:17I know.
00:35:18I know.
00:35:19I know.
00:35:20I know.
00:35:21I know.
00:35:22I know every freckle on his body.
00:35:25But no.
00:35:26I'm divorcing him.
00:35:28And marrying someone else.
00:35:37Oh, my God.
00:35:42Hallie.
00:35:47Mommy and Daddy, I made breakfast.
00:35:53Do you like it?
00:35:54I made pancakes.
00:35:56They are excellent, sweetie.
00:36:00Mm-hmm.
00:36:01This is what families do.
00:36:02They eat breakfast together.
00:36:08What's up?
00:36:14There's some stupid birthday invitation.
00:36:16All the kids from school will be there, but I'm not going.
00:36:19All the kids from school will be there, but I'm not going.
00:36:22Why not?
00:36:23Because everyone always says,
00:36:26if I had a mom, she'd help me pick up better gifts.
00:36:30And they say I'm just a momless loser.
00:36:33You 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.
00:36:45And it was hard.
00:36:47But I was always able to rely on my dad,
00:36:50just like you can.
00:36:55And by the way, your dad is worth a thousand mommies.
00:37:00It's true. She 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 Hallie, I'll go to the party. Thanks.
00:37:17Okay.
00:37:22Oh, no.
00:37:25Excuse me, I have to take this.
00:37:33You got my messages.
00:37:35Delete that photo, Trista.
00:37:37Oh, which one? Because I have plenty.
00:37:43What'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. Walk away now and leave this town for good.
00:37:58Otherwise, these photos will go to the senator.
00:38:05I could ruin you, Hallie.
00:38:07So don't mess with my life.
00:38:09And I won't mess with yours.
00:38:15Oh.
00:38:18Hey. Everything okay?
00:38:21Fine.
00:38:22Who are you talking to?
00:38:24Oh, my fiance's lawyer. He'll be by with new divorce papers.
00:38:31I have to go.
00:38:32Right now?
00:38:33Yes. I'm sorry, but yes. Can you call me a cab?
00:38:36Hallie.
00:38:37Call me a cab, Craig.
00:38:39Okay.
00:38:41My plan didn't work, Lucy. I guess Mommy isn't in love with Daddy after all.
00:38:56Martha May?
00:38:58Hallie Builder, as I live and breathe!
00:39:01Oh, how are you so skinny? I 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? Don't tell me you're shutting down.
00:39:16Yeah. I don't have a choice. Rent'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.
00:39:29Dirk, I can't believe you're shutting down Martha's Diner. It's a town institution.
00:39:35Is it? Or are you just upset about it because you and your boyfriend Craig used to go there?
00:39:40This isn't high school anymore, Dirk, and this isn't a game.
00:39:44What is it going to take for you to leave the diner alone?
00:39:47Well, 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? No, I had something more interesting in mind. You.
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 wife!
00:40:26Well, you two are under arrest for assaulting the mayor.
00:40:32You know the drill. This is just like how I used to arrest you when you was back in high school.
00:40:45Wife, huh?
00:40:47Some habits are hard to break.
00:40:51God, this is so not funny. Ned 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. I should have sent my assistant. I 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. That 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. What 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. I'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.
00:41:50Alright, lovebirds. Your bail's been posted. You're free to go.
00:41:56Bail? By who?
00:41:59Hey, Hals.
00:42:03Ned!
00:42:08Hey, Hals.
00:42:09Ned.
00:42:12So, you must be Craig Rohde. The man who couldn't even sign a simple divorce paper.
00:42:18And you must be Ned Vogel. The man who thinks money can solve everything.
00:42:23Yeah, well, my money got you out of jail, didn't it?
00:42:27I didn't ask to be bailed out.
00:42:29Well, you can think of it as the government working for you.
00:42:32Well, you can shove your government up your silver spoon.
00:42:35Guys, please stop.
00:42:37Stop!
00:42:38No, you're right. I'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.
00:42:52This nonsense has gone on long enough.
00:42:55Can I really divorce Hallie without her knowing about her own daughter?
00:43:02Sign the papers.
00:43:04Or we take you to court.
00:43:07But I gotta tell you, my lawyer's a shark.
00:43:10Say something, Hallie.
00:43:13Say something to stop this.
00:43:16Sign the papers, Craig.
00:43:19Let me go. It's the least you can do.
00:43:29Wonderful. We will get these filed at the town hall.
00:43:33And you will be divorced in an hour.
00:43:38This nonsense has gone on long enough.
00:43:40It's time for you to finally move on with your life, Hallie.
00:43:46Well, are you coming?
00:43:49Yes, of course.
00:43:53Bye.
00:44:00That is who she ended up with.
00:44:03I always thought it'd be you.
00:44:05You know, sometimes things don't work out the way we want them to.
00:44:11Hallie, what were you thinking? Jail?
00:44:14Are you trying to ruin my campaign?
00:44:17No. No, this has nothing to do with you.
00:44:20You are gonna be my wife.
00:44:24Everything you do reflects on me.
00:44:28Now, are there any other skeletons I should know about?
00:44:36No.
00:44:41No. 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 are your words, Hallie. What's gotten into you?
00:45:01I don't know. Just being back here.
00:45:07Should I remind you how lucky you are to have gotten out?
00:45:11Last signature, Miss Bilner.
00:45:13And you'll be free and clear to be the wife of a Senate.
00:45:26Okay. Let's go.
00:45:32Fair wages! Fair pay! We won't let you contract again!
00:45:35Let us through.
00:45:36No one gets in or out today. Town workers on strike.
00:45:40We need to get these filed. We 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?
00:45:57I knew you wanted to leave without me, Mommy.
00:46:01Mommy? You two have a kid together?
00:46:03No, no, no. Of course not. Natalie, come on. Miss Hallie has to go.
00:46:07No, no!
00:46:09I'm so sorry.
00:46:10I hate you! I 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. What'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?
00:46:29You see, I have my fair share of scandals, but this, this is bad.
00:46:35Hallie, I see you got a fancy new fiancé.
00:46:39What happened to your husband? Is he 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.
00:46:53What do you mean what my father wanted?
00:46:57What do you mean what my father wanted?
00:47:00Wait a minute. Craig never told you—
00:47:02Fair wages! Fair pay!
00:47:03Hey! Keep it down.
00:47:05Or I'll write you up for a noise violation.
00:47:08How about you pay us what we're owed and not waste our tax dollars on fancy new firetrucks and cocktail parties?
00:47:15Mayor Sullivan never would have done anything.
00:47:18All right, listen. Mayor Sullivan is not in charge anymore. I am. All right? So please just keep it down.
00:47:24Fair wages! Fair pay!
00:47:26All right, just keep it down!
00:47:27Fair wages! Fair pay!
00:47:30I'll sign that paper for you.
00:47:32Yeah. All 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.
00:47:40A custody agreement?
00:47:43Sure. This child is just as much Hallie's as she is Craig's.
00:47:48You lied to me.
00:47:50No, no. No, I didn't. No, I swear.
00:47:54How is this even possible?
00:47:56Well, she's adopted. I mean, I did the paperwork myself. You're 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 good. A husband is one thing, but a child? If this gets out, I am sunk, right?
00:48:10A messy custody battle never sits well with voters. Who said anything about a custody agreement?
00:48:15Hallie doesn't even want the kid, right, Hallie? I mean, you barely even know the child.
00:48:20She'll give up custody right now. Where do we sign?
00:48:22It's not that simple. In a case like this, when a child's involved, both parties have to attend a parenting class.
00:48:27The next one starts tomorrow.
00:48:29Tomorrow? I do not have time for this. I have to get back to New York before the press starts asking questions.
00:48:38Go. Go. I'll get this sorted out.
00:48:41Fine. Take care of this child and this marriage, quickly and quietly.
00:48:53Hallie.
00:48:55No! You were just going to let me divorce you, never knowing that Natalie's my daughter?
00:48:59Shh.
00:49:08The adoption went through after you left.
00:49:11You didn't think I deserved to know? You could have called, written, anything.
00:49:17I tried.
00:49:19What?
00:49:22And you were there with another guy. You looked happy. You looked free.
00:49:28Seems you don't need me and Natalie anymore.
00:49:31And that's why you never told me that I had a daughter?
00:49:36You looked like you'd moved on.
00:49:39Moved on? It took me years to move on.
00:49:46And honestly, I don't know if I ever have.
00:49:52Forget it. It doesn't matter now anyway.
00:49:58Here.
00:50:02Parenting class.
00:50:05We need to take it in order to get divorced.
00:50:08Custody. Co-parenting.
00:50:11Legally, Natalie is just as much mine as she is yours.
00:50:15You haven't spent any time with her. You didn't raise her.
00:50:19I know. And whose fault is that?
00:50:23Class is at 8am. Don't be late.
00:50:30I knew Miss Haley was my mommy.
00:50:37Dad?
00:50:42Maya, what's going on?
00:50:50Daddy!
00:50:53He's okay. He's stabilized.
00:50:55Your old man's a fighter, Hallie.
00:50:58And clearly he's fighting to see you again.
00:51:01No fighting to see me.
00:51:04If anything, he'd be pissed to know I'm back.
00:51:08My dad hates me.
00:51:10That's not possible. Hallie, he talks about you all the time.
00:51:13He does?
00:51:15Yep. Every Monday and Thursday at dialysis.
00:51:18That's how I know about your fancy job and your fancy boyfriend.
00:51:24None of this makes any sense.
00:51:27Hallie, are you okay?
00:51:29Yeah, today's just been a lot.
00:51:34Maya, did you know that Natalie's my daughter?
00:51:42My shift ends in five minutes. Do you want to grab a drink?
00:51:48Craig has never revealed who Natalie's mother was.
00:51:51But he's never been with anyone since you, so we figured...
00:51:54Wait a second.
00:51:56He's never been with anyone since me?
00:51:59No, he left me for Trista. I saw him.
00:52:02Trista? She's been after him for years, sure.
00:52:05But he'd never touch her with a ten-foot pole.
00:52:07I don't understand.
00:52:09Just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:52:12Craig!
00:52:14No way.
00:52:24Excuse me, Maya. I need to get to the bottom of this.
00:52:37Good to see you, Hallie.
00:52:38I know the truth. You were never with Trista.
00:52:42So tell me the truth about everything. Right now.
00:52:49Play me for it.
00:52:52If you win, I'll tell you.
00:53:03Looks like big city living hasn't dulled your aim at all.
00:53:06No, if anything, it made me sharper.
00:53:11You two are playing like your lives depend on it.
00:53:20Well, kind of do.
00:53:28Oops.
00:53:32If you do that again, I might just have to take you right here on the table.
00:53:37Too bad I'm engaged.
00:53:41What are you playing at, Hallie?
00:53:43I deserve the truth.
00:53:45Why? You came here to divorce me. What good would the truth do?
00:53:50I'll be the one to decide that.
00:54:08Now.
00:54:10Bus up.
00:54:18You scratched.
00:54:23I win.
00:54:25Thank you, ladies. But I gotta go. I have an early start.
00:54:31Maybe I can find some clues in my father's room.
00:54:36Why didn't my father tell me he was sick?
00:54:39And why won't anyone just tell me the truth?
00:54:45Oh my God.
00:54:54This will always belong to Hallie.
00:54:58This will always belong to Hallie. And so do my heart.
00:55:02What is this doing here?
00:55:10What was this doing in my father's bedroom?
00:55:12Hallie.
00:55:13Tell me. Why was this in my father's room?
00:55:18Don't tell me you're about to propose, Hallie.
00:55:21Trista? What are you doing here?
00:55:24Surprise! I'm teaching the course.
00:55:27It's time for the two of you to get divorced.
00:55:32I 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, so please keep this between us.
00:55:44I will always do you a favor, Craig. You know that.
00:55:48Okay. First topic.
00:55:51How to explain to your child why you're not together anymore.
00:55:55Simple. Her father is a lying, manipulative jerk
00:55:58who 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. You're starting a new life somewhere else.
00:56:12Because you made me believe there was nothing left for me here.
00:56:15So what are you going to do? You going to take Natalie to New York?
00:56:18Maybe.
00:56:20She belongs here.
00:56:22Not in New York with Central Air and an au pair.
00:56:26And I will be damned if I let Ned Vogel be my daughter's stepfather.
00:56:31Jealous, Craig.
00:56:33You know of all the things Ned is, he's never lied to me.
00:56:36Never torn my world apart without so much as an explanation.
00:56:39You want an explanation?
00:56:41Yeah.
00:56:42I'll give you one.
00:56:43I did lie to you that day when I told you that I didn't love you anymore.
00:56:50I'm done here.
00:56:53I knew he was still in love with you. I 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, Craig 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.
00:57:21At 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.
00:57:34Go 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.
00:57:43Aw, he looks upset.
00:57:50Oh, God.
00:58:02Let me out! Somebody!
00:58:07I'm so sorry about that. I didn't realize Hallie would try to provoke you like that.
00:58:11Oh, Hallie was right.
00:58:13I should have told her about Natalie.
00:58:15It was unfair. I need to apologize for this.
00:58:18Do you? Because you and I both know what Hallie would have chosen all those years ago.
00:58:22And it wouldn't have been you and Matt.
00:58:24I don't, because I never gave her the chance.
00:58:26I did.
00:58:28What?
00:58:29All those years ago, I told her about Natalie.
00:58:36I... I 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?
00:58:54I'm so sorry I didn't tell you before, but I was just trying to protect you.
00:58:59She said that the last thing that she wanted was a daughter with you.
00:59:02She said that?
00:59:04Yes. In fact, she said that she didn't want any kids at all.
00:59:08Hallie was born to be a mother. That'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. It's not.
00:59:45Natalie, Natalie 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!
00:59:55Hallie?
00:59:57What did you do to her?
00:59:59Nothing, 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.
01:00:16You want to play it like that?
01:00:19So be it.
01:00:24Hi!
01:00:26I'd like to speak to Senator Ned Vogel, please.
01:00:33Are you okay?
01:00:34Don't.
01:00:36Why do you care, Craig?
01:00:38Is everything you tell me a lie?
01:00:40What?
01:00:41I saw you kissing Trista!
01:00:43Don't try and deny it.
01:00:45You told me you loved me.
01:00:48I don't believe a word you say.
01:00:50Hallie, please, please believe me. That was a mistake.
01:00:53The only mistake I ever made was coming back here.
01:00:57I don't know what I thought I'd find.
01:01:00But 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 fiancé is cheating on him with her husband.
01:01:16Don't worry.
01:01:18I 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!
01:01:32Hello?
01:01:34Hello?
01:01:37I guess I'll just have to go to the New York Post with this one.
01:01:41You'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.
01:01:54So, you can sign the papers today and you'll be divorced by tomorrow.
01:01:58Tomorrow?
01:01:59Yeah.
01:02:00I already got us scheduled for a gala Saturday, a fundraising brunch on Sunday.
01:02:05I 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.
01:02:14It's just...
01:02:15What about Natalie? My daughter?
01:02:18What are you going to do, Hallie? Bring the kid with you to New York?
01:02:21Co-parent with your ex? No.
01:02:24Look, if we want to have a baby, we can have a baby.
01:02:27Together.
01:02:29But I'm not going to raise someone else's kids, okay?
01:02:31Just sign over the custody and divorce him.
01:02:34Today.
01:02:36There's nothing there for you anymore, Hallie.
01:02:38Not anymore.
01:02:43You're right. There's nothing left for me here.
01:02:46Hallie...
01:02:47I'm giving up custody and going back to New York.
01:02:51You win, Craig.
01:02:53Win?
01:02:54You never wanted me to be a part of Natalie's life.
01:02:57Or yours.
01:02:59Well, congratulations. You got your wish.
01:03:02Hallie, please just hear me out. That'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.
01:03:20Correct?
01:03:22That's right.
01:03:23Okay, so regarding the parental rights of Natalie Hallie Brody...
01:03:28Hallie? Her middle name is Hallie?
01:03:31She's your daughter too.
01:03:34She's your daughter too.
01:03:36Mommy!
01:03:40She belongs here.
01:03:43I'm not going to raise someone else's kid.
01:03:47Ma'am.
01:03:49Please sign on the dotted line.
01:03:55It's really over.
01:04:02Now for the divorce papers.
01:04:12Is that it?
01:04:14Yes. Congratulations.
01:04:17In 24 hours, you'll be ex-husband and wife.
01:04:20It was nice being married to you, Hallie Brody.
01:04:23Congratulations.
01:04:25In 24 hours, you'll be ex-husband and wife.
01:04:28It was nice being married to you, Hallie Bildner.
01:04:34Wish I could say the same, Craig Brody.
01:04:42Lulu, I'll be back in the city by tonight.
01:04:45Rebook my meetings and get me a pedicure appointment.
01:04:49Thank God. I thought you were never coming back.
01:04:52But then I remembered. You're Hallie Bildner.
01:04:55Your work is your life.
01:04:58My life. Right.
01:05:05By 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
01:05:11all over the city just for one special kid?
01:05:14Yes, I did.
01:05:17Which, might I ask, who is this special child?
01:05:22My daughter.
01:05:29A Monster Truck 300?
01:05:32This is the best present ever!
01:05:35Who's next?
01:05:37Sam, why don't you get Natalie's present over with?
01:05:40We all know it's going to be the worst.
01:05:43Here it is. Look how tiny it is.
01:05:46Catch!
01:05:50It's probably a gum wrapper.
01:05:53Or a half-eaten apple.
01:05:56She's so poor she probably can't afford anything else.
01:05:59Guys, be nice.
01:06:02At least it's not a tree branch like last time.
01:06:05It was a walking stick and my dad made it.
01:06:08That's right. Your dad.
01:06:11Because where's your mom again? That's right. Nowhere.
01:06:15Oops. Hope it wasn't fragile.
01:06:22It's a friendship bracelet.
01:06:25Friendship? We're not friends.
01:06:28That's so sad.
01:06:31I can't believe you actually invited this freak to your party.
01:06:34My mom forced me to.
01:06:37If you had a mom, she'd help you pick out a real present,
01:06:40not this dumb piece of string.
01:06:43I do have a mom.
01:06:46Then where is she?
01:06:49She lives in New York and she's a powerful CEO.
01:06:52Why do you make up a story like that?
01:06:55If your mom was a powerful CEO, she would give you better gifts than this.
01:06:58Momless loser.
01:07:01Momless loser.
01:07:04Momless loser.
01:07:07Momless loser.
01:07:10Momless loser.
01:07:13Nobody can take your power away from you except you.
01:07:16Don't ever forget that.
01:07:19You were wrong, Mommy, and you left me.
01:07:22You know what? Forget this.
01:07:31Hi. I have a delivery for Sam Baker.
01:07:34That's me.
01:07:38These must be for my uncle.
01:07:41He's super rich.
01:07:44Where do you think you're going?
01:07:47I never should have come. I'm getting out of here.
01:07:50Actually, you're going to stay here and watch what real presents look like.
01:07:53Yeah, and maybe next time you'll come up with something better than a stupid piece of string.
01:07:58A pickleball racket?
01:08:01Nintendo Switch?
01:08:04A bar kit?
01:08:07An e-scooter?
01:08:10A monster truck 400?
01:08:13These must cost a fortune.
01:08:16Uncle Rick is the best.
01:08:19Actually, these gifts are from Natalie's mom.
01:08:25My mommy. She does love me.
01:08:28Wait. This has to be a prank.
01:08:31These are real.
01:08:34Well, someone very real signed for these purchase orders herself.
01:08:37All $15,000 worth of them.
01:08:40$15,000? How rich is she?
01:08:43Like I said, she's a powerful CEO in New York,
01:08:46and she's too busy to care what you small-town losers think.
01:08:49Wait. No. Where are you going?
01:08:52It's okay. You can sit next to me.
01:08:55No. Sit next to me.
01:08:58You hate me.
01:09:01Enjoy the presents, loser.
01:09:04And your cake is drying by the way.
01:09:11Daddy.
01:09:14I don't know if you can hear me,
01:09:17but I wanted you to know I'm going back to New York.
01:09:20Okay?
01:09:23You were right about Craig.
01:09:26And a cheat.
01:09:29To the man I'm about to marry.
01:09:32He's rich.
01:09:35Handsome. Successful.
01:09:38Exactly.
01:09:41The kind of man you would've wanted from me.
01:09:44I'll miss you. Okay?
01:09:47You're running towards something.
01:09:50Back to your life. Go.
01:09:53I promise. I promise.
01:09:56Would you look after Natalie for me?
01:09:59Of course.
01:10:14Hi.
01:10:17I think he was building her first classes to the left.
01:10:21Natalie. What are you doing here?
01:10:24I'm coming with you to New York.
01:10:27The flight departs in one minute.
01:10:34Come on, Natalie. I'll take you home.
01:10:42Oh my God. Where'd you find her?
01:10:45She was at the airport.
01:10:48I wanted to go to New York City with Mommy.
01:10:51She knows Craig.
01:10:54Natalie, can you give us a minute?
01:10:57Okay, Daddy.
01:11:00Thank you for bringing her back.
01:11:03Of course.
01:11:06But before I go, I have a favor to ask you.
01:11:09Anything.
01:11:12Find Natalie a mother.
01:11:15For a start. Okay?
01:11:18Okay.
01:11:21Bye.
01:11:46After all these years,
01:11:49he never gave up on us.
01:11:52After all these years,
01:11:55he never gave up on us.
01:12:01You probably could have come up with something better.
01:12:04No, it's perfect.
01:12:07How long have you been working on this?
01:12:10A few years now.
01:12:14Ever since I left?
01:12:17Maybe.
01:12:20But why?
01:12:23I couldn't let our dream die just because our marriage did.
01:12:27That crazy dream?
01:12:30Doesn't look so crazy anymore, does it?
01:12:33No, it doesn't.
01:12:36Ellie, not a day goes by where I don't think about you.
01:12:41And I know, I know you won't believe a word I say,
01:12:44but I thought maybe you'd believe something you could see.
01:12:56Is that us?
01:12:59Yeah, it is.
01:13:06I love you.
01:13:09I never stopped.
01:13:25I've missed this for so long.
01:13:28I've wanted this for so long.
01:13:31No. No, we have to stop.
01:13:35The papers are signed, Craig.
01:13:38I'm engaged to someone else.
01:13:41And it's too late to turn the clock back now.
01:13:46Send me a picture when the town's rebuilt, okay?
01:13:49That's the thing, it won't be.
01:13:53What? What do you mean?
01:13:56Got this in the mail today.
01:13:58My plans were approved, but Dirk Diggle brought up
01:14:01all the local contractors, and I can't afford anyone else,
01:14:04so I'm going to have to rescind my offer.
01:14:07No, you can't do that.
01:14:09I have to. I don't have a choice.
01:14:12What if I said I could help?
01:14:19I could help.
01:14:22Go back to New York, Ellie.
01:14:25Don't worry about someone's tiny little dream in a nowhere town.
01:14:30This was our dream, Craig.
01:14:36Besides, you helped me out with Dirk Diggle once.
01:14:41She said she's not interested, bro.
01:14:44Now let me help you.
01:14:56Lulu.
01:14:58Change of plans.
01:15:00Send all of our best contractors to Franklin, Tennessee.
01:15:03Also, cancel my pedicure appointment.
01:15:11Have you come to withdraw your application, Craig?
01:15:14I knew you couldn't afford it.
01:15:16Actually, I just came to give you the deposit.
01:15:19We break ground tomorrow.
01:15:22We?
01:15:24We said we would fix this town up.
01:15:27And 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.
01:15:37It was always your dream.
01:15:39I was just happy to help.
01:15:43Lulu! 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 hog.
01:15:52Oh. Ex-husband.
01:15:55Right.
01:15:59Hallie.
01:16:01Ned? Hi.
01:16:04What 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.
01:16:17Are you trying to embarrass me on a national stage?
01:16:20No. No, Ned. I am so sorry.
01:16:23Is 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.
01:16:34I am taking you home.
01:16:37Ned, I told you. This project is important.
01:16:40Hallie, you build multi-billion dollar skyscrapers.
01:16:43Not whatever this is.
01:16:46This matters.
01:16:48A sad little shopping mall in a sad little town?
01:16:52Come on, Hallie.
01:16:54You're better than this.
01:16:56What's that supposed to mean?
01:16:58Being back here has you confused.
01:17:01You don't know what you want.
01:17:03You don't know who you really are anymore.
01:17:05But this is your past.
01:17:09I am your future. Remember?
01:17:12You still want to marry me?
01:17:15Even after that?
01:17:17Yes. In fact, I want to move the wedding up.
01:17:20Let's get married right now.
01:17:25Let's get married right now.
01:17:27Right now?
01:17:30Excuse me.
01:17:34Hey.
01:17:36Seeing these photos, it made me realize how much you mean to me.
01:17:40I can't lose you, Hallie.
01:17:42I don't want to lose you.
01:17:44Please. Marry me.
01:17:49You're going to marry her?
01:17:52She was cheating on you.
01:17:56Who are you?
01:17:57I'm the woman that took these photos.
01:18:00So, you admit to sabotaging a political campaign.
01:18:03What? No.
01:18:06Ma'am, you're lucky the senator doesn't press charges.
01:18:08Come with me.
01:18:09What? No. No. No.
01:18:11You will not win this one, Hallie.
01:18:13No. Don't touch me.
01:18:17Ned, this all just feels a little fast.
01:18:21Yeah, but is it, Hallie?
01:18:22What are we waiting for?
01:18:26What are we waiting for?
01:18:30I don't know.
01:18:32Quit fucking around and marry me already.
01:18:35What's the rush, Ned?
01:18:37The Post agreed to kill the cheating story if we give them something better.
01:18:42Something like?
01:18:44A wedding, for example.
01:18:46You want to marry me for a story?
01:18:49Come on, Hallie.
01:18:51We're going to get married anyway. What difference does it make?
01:18:54Was this whole thing just a publicity stunt?
01:18:59Our engagement? Our relationship?
01:19:02No. Of course not. I love you.
01:19:05Then what's my favorite color, Ned?
01:19:08Come on, Hallie.
01:19:10My favorite flower?
01:19:13My favorite flower?
01:19:15I don't know. Roses? Does it even matter?
01:19:18Yes, it does.
01:19:22I'm sorry, Ned, but I can't marry you.
01:19:27Yes, 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.
01:19:41But once I'm elected, I can make them all go poof.
01:19:45I have friends in very high places, Hallie.
01:19:48No, you wouldn't dare. I worked my entire career for those.
01:19:52Well, then the answer is simple.
01:19:54Marry me, or lose everything.
01:19:58Come on, Hallie. This 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.
01:20:06Get off!
01:20:07Neither have you.
01:20:12The End
01:20:19My suit!
01:20:21My jaw!
01:20:22You broke my face!
01:20:25Good. Looks better that way, in my opinion.
01:20:28I'll have you arrested for assaulting a government official.
01:20:31There isn't a cop who will side with you over me. Not in this town.
01:20:37By the way, her favorite color is blue, and her favorite flower, the marigold, blooms from spring to fall.
01:20:46There you go.
01:20:48I hope that suit wasn't too expensive.
01:20:50This 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. You're not going to give up everything just for some pathetic, small-town nobody.
01:21:04He may be from a small town, but he is not a nobody.
01:21:10In 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 you.
01:21:29I told him if he really loved you, he'd let you go.
01:21:33He did.
01:21:37I 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. He 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. Hallie, you're coming with me.
01:22:02You stay away from my daughter.
01:22:04Hallie, I am not leaving. You owe it to me to go through with 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. It's over between us.
01:22:23Get out of here, Ned. It's over between us.
01:22:28Fine. 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. What about me?
01:22:48I'll marry you. I'm sure the post would love to see me in a wedding gown.
01:22:54And I would look way better than Hallie ever would.
01:22:57In a million years.
01:23:00Oh my gosh! Ew! Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!
01:23:06Oh my gosh, I can't see me like this.
01:23:12I owe you both an apology for trying to play God.
01:23:16Daddy.
01:23:17Hear me out.
01:23:18When I was in the hospital, I hooked up to all those machines.
01:23:22I just kept having the same wonderful dream.
01:23:26This dream where you were still together.
01:23:29This dream where you were both living the life you deserve.
01:23:33I took that future and that life away from you.
01:23:38Hallie, Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:23:43Hallie, Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:23:46How?
01:23:49This should be enough for me.
01:23:51I want her on that plane alone, whatever it takes.
01:23:57I tried to pay him off.
01:24:01And this is what he did with the money.
01:24:04I've never seen someone work so hard for love.
01:24:08Is this true, Craig?
01:24:12Why didn't you just tell me?
01:24:15I didn't want you to hate your father or blame him when you just thought he was doing what was right.
01:24:21You were protecting me.
01:24:23That's right.
01:24:25You two are the only family you have left.
01:24:29Unless...
01:24:33You 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 can make me the happiest man in the world if you marry me again.
01:24:48Yeah?
01:24:50Yes, Craig, I'll marry you.
01:24:52Oh, perfect.
01:25:00It always was.
01:25:02Mommy, Daddy, I knew you'd come back together.
01:25:05Oh, she did.
01:25:07Come on, up we go.
01:25:10That wasn't such a crazy dream.
01:25:12I'd like you to meet your granddaughter, Natalie Halle Brody.
01:25:16My dream came true.
01:25:18Hi, Grandpa.
01:25:20Halle, this is crazy, but if we run, we 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.
01:25:32Okay, what do we think?
01:25:33Who's up for a wedding?
01:25:35Yeah?
01:25:37Yeah?
01:25:38Yeah?
01:25:42Hi.
01:25:43Um, 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 Halle Bildner.
01:26:07But your name is, and always has been, Halle Brody.
01:26:10Will you look at that?
01:26:13Wait, so, um, that means the custody papers?
01:26:18Well, that's, uh, that's void.
01:26:22So, you're still Natalie's parent.
01:26:27Mommy!
01:26:31Daddy.
01:26:34I forgive you.
01:26:37I forgive you.
01:26:52I've got seven years to make up for it.
01:27:08I just want to thank you all for your faith in me.
01:27:11And as your new mayor, I promise to work tirelessly to bring this town back to what it once was.
01:27:18Starting with the community center that Craig and Halle so generously built.
01:27:26We love you, Mayor Martha.
01:27:28Love you.
01:27:35What do you think?
01:27:36Which option?
01:27:41Looks like they found a story to replace me with after all.
01:27:50Is there really going to be a rapier?
01:27:53Yes.
01:27:54We're going to be one big happy family.
01:27:59Yes.
01:28:00We are.
