00:01In weather, record-breaking hurricane-course winds are hitting us early in the season this year.
00:07We're looking at sustained gusts of over 97 miles an hour.
00:30We should head over to Davis. She's got a basement.
01:00Dancer?
01:06Dancer!
01:09Dancer!
01:18Dancer!
01:23Lord, I need a little help right now!
01:25I got him!
01:30The camera is south. There is an answer in the valley. This may be the storm of the century.
01:38Reports are videos touching down and we're still heading our way.
01:41If you can hear this, take shelter immediately. The time for evacuation is over.
01:46It looks like we'll be here all night.
01:49Um, I'm gonna...
01:54Is that me?
01:55It's about time for you and me to, uh, put the hay.
02:10Seriously.
02:12Yeah.
02:15Now, what I remember, I remember being here, going to your birthday parties.
02:20You know what? I...
02:24I also remember running into you at the, uh, the picnic.
02:28Yeah, about five years ago now.
02:31All in? You too.
02:33All right.
02:34Everybody ready?
02:35Ready.
02:36Set.
02:37Go!
02:38Inside!
02:39Outside!
02:40Inside!
02:41Inside!
02:42Go!
02:43Inside!
02:45Go!
02:46Go!
02:47I'm sorry.
02:49No...
02:50I thought we were gonna win.
02:52Fine.
02:53Let me wrap now.
02:55Today's been really fun.
02:57Yeah.
02:58Yeah, I've even enjoyed losing that rice.
03:06I'm just going to go out on a limb here,
03:08but I think this would be really fun to do again next week.
03:14The fair's not going to be back until the end of the month.
03:18Oh, I know, not the fair.
03:21Oh, I just meant coffee or a movie or something.
03:26I'll get the tickets, you get the popcorn.
03:28Oh, I don't think so.
03:38Lauren, look, I did you a favor, believe me.
03:41You were a schoolteacher, and people would have talked, I promise.
03:47They talked anyway.
03:48No, but the stories would have been much different.
03:51Yeah, but I would not have cared.
03:56I'm sorry.
03:58Lorna, I'm so sorry.
04:18This is my house.
04:25This is where I grew up.
04:26Like, all of my memories are here.
04:28Lauren, a lot of this stuff isn't ruined.
04:31You know, you just dry it out, get the water off of it, the mold sets in.
04:36I guess.
04:38You guess?
04:38No, things are just things, Lauren.
04:44No, but they were my things, though.
04:46Right.
04:47But they weren't you.
04:49They weren't the answer.
04:50They weren't your parents.
04:51I know, you're right.
04:54When I was a little girl, I would sit there, and I'd watch my parents fix everything.
05:01And then I grew up, and I learned how to do the same.
05:03My dad and I built that barn that kept us safe last night.
05:08And I have watched hours and hours of home rental shows.
05:12I'm going to rebuild this house myself.
05:18Yeah?
05:18Yes.
05:20I know I can do it.
05:23So, Lauren, what are you going to do next?
05:28First, I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself.
05:32I know there are plenty of folks out there who are way worse off than I am.
05:36I was actually thinking about that earlier this morning.
05:40Thought about maybe going into town, checking everybody, checking the damage.
05:47Well, let's go do that.
05:50Yeah.
05:52All right.
05:56All right, why don't we throw on a change of clothes?
05:58Yeah.
05:59What do I do?
06:05Colin, I'm sorry about last night.
06:07What about?
06:08It's bringing up the past.
06:11I shouldn't have done that.
06:12No, I'm sorry for that day at the fair.
06:14Thank you, but you are allowed to date whoever you want.
06:20Believe me, you did dodge a bullet with me.
06:23Okay?
06:24Being single is kind of my lot in life, I guess.
06:26But what about you?
06:29Anyone you're seeing?
06:31Uh, yeah, my boyfriend, Dane.
06:34Well, he's not a fiancé, actually.
06:36Well, kind of.
06:38Kind of?
06:40What's a kind of fiancé?
06:41What's this?
06:47Frida.
06:48Colin?
06:48Lauren?
06:49Hey, Frida.
06:50How are you and Hector doing?
06:51We're good.
06:52Can't say as much for Mayor Wallace.
06:54Did you hear?
06:55No.
06:56What happened?
06:57Heart attack.
06:58He was checking on some people and a tree fell.
07:01Landed on the hood of his car, just like that.
07:04He didn't make it.
07:05There's never been a storm like this recorded in the county's history.
07:08We're all praying that there aren't any more casualties.
07:12I can't believe this.
07:14Um, thank you so much, Frida.
07:18Drive safe.
07:19You too, Colin.
07:20Roads are in bad shape.
07:21Hey, Sutter.
07:30It's Colin.
07:31Yeah, no.
07:31How are you?
07:32It looked pretty bad up there last night.
07:34Yeah, no, uh, not a scratch.
07:36I'm relieved.
07:37How's Colin?
07:37Mom, not a scratch.
07:39His words.
07:39He's fine.
07:40I, um, I spent the night at Lauren Christensen's barn.
07:45Excuse me?
07:47You want to explain?
07:47I'm fine, but, um, her house was destroyed in the storm.
07:57That's awful.
07:58Oh, and good of you to take care of her.
08:00Oh, no.
08:00She's actually the one who took care of me.
08:03She actually got me in out of the storm, kept me dry.
08:07How did you end up at her place?
08:09I mean, I know you got that property up there next to hers, but...
08:11Hey, hey, uh, Sutter, listen.
08:12I gotta go.
08:14This is the only line that we have.
08:16Okay, uh, just tell me one thing.
08:18She's still as good-looking as I remember?
08:22Better.
08:25You'd be good to her, Colin.
08:26Yeah, no, Mom, I love her.
08:28I already did.
08:29Later.
08:30See ya.
08:30See ya.
08:33So, how did the Schumachs make out?
08:35The road to their barn washed out completely, but they got their animals out early, so...
08:41They did.
08:41That's some good news, I guess.
08:47Hey, going back to what I said earlier about helping you rebuild your house, it'd be no
08:53trouble.
08:54It's okay.
08:55I can figure it out.
08:56It's not like I think that you need a man's help or anything like that, it's just, you
09:02know what I do for a living, right?
09:03Yes, you make furniture.
09:05I'm a carpenter.
09:06Pretty good carpenter, actually.
09:08And so helping you with your house would be no problem.
09:11It's a really nice offer, but no thank you.
09:13The phone's free, so I'm going to call my fiancée.
09:29You have Dane?
09:30Hey, it's me.
09:32Lauren, my assistant's been trying you for hours.
09:34Are you okay?
09:35Yes, I'm fine.
09:37Um, but my entire house was destroyed.
09:40But, and, and sorry, I would have called earlier, but all of the power's out.
09:45All the phone lines are down.
09:50Your house was destroyed?
09:52But my Lauren's okay.
09:54I'm fine.
09:55I promise.
09:55You should move into my Manhattan condo while I'm still closing this deal.
09:59Then when I'm done, I'll meet you there.
10:00You want me to leave at a time like this?
10:03Dane, I, I can't do that.
10:04The community needs every single one of us here right now.
10:07Look, I just want you to be safe.
10:12That's, that's sweet.
10:13But I'm going to stay here, and I also want to rebuild my family home myself.
10:21Listen, give me a couple hours.
10:23I'm going to talk to my assistant.
10:24He's going to find you the best crew in the tri-state area.
10:27They'll be there this afternoon to start construction.
10:29A crew?
10:30No, no, no, no, no.
10:32It's way too early for any of that.
10:33You're going to supervise, of course.
10:35Dane Richards, you have zero listening skills.
10:39My grandparents built that family home, and I'm going to do the same.
10:43Lauren, Lauren, I'm just trying to help.
10:45You're a schoolteacher.
10:46You can't build a house by yourself.
10:47I know it takes a team to rebuild a home, but that team starts with me.
10:56Hey, I need you in here.
10:58Excuse me?
11:01Sorry, I was rude.
11:02And that is why we need to get people out there now, starting to clean up efforts.
11:07This is crazy.
11:09The council has made a list of places to start.
11:12Nathan.
11:16I know you're doing your best with Mayor Wallace, gone and all.
11:20But we need to organize search parties to go out there and find people who need help.
11:25I just spoke with the people from FEMA less than an hour ago.
11:32They need the roads clear so that they can deliver the relief supplies.
11:35Food, water, medicine.
11:37Right.
11:37Search and rescue is the main priority right now.
11:41You said to yourself that FEMA was not going to be here for several days.
11:44This is not about you, Colin.
11:46Please sit down.
11:47Nathan.
11:48Given the circumstances, I feel like we just set aside our differences.
11:51Now here, we look out for each other.
11:54That's what we do.
11:57Okay, so there could be people out there without clean water, without power.
12:00They could be injured.
12:01They could be sick.
12:03We've got to have search parties to get out there and find those people.
12:06Sure.
12:07Our fire department is out there right now, doing exactly just that.
12:12Great.
12:13Well, we can help them.
12:14How many firefighters are there?
12:15We have five well-trained professionals.
12:19Five.
12:20Nathan, that's a lot of ground to cover.
12:23And we should split those five up.
12:25And each one of those firefighters can be in charge of a small search party of volunteers.
12:29We could search the entire town in a day, a day and a half at max.
12:32So we'd have five search parties?
12:35Five.
12:35Fine.
12:37The council will radio out to the professionals.
12:39And if the firefighters agree, the council will allow it.
12:52Paige.
12:57Oh, I'm so happy to see you.
13:00I've been looking everywhere for you.
13:02Oh, we tried to get to you.
13:03I'm so glad you two made it through the storm okay.
13:07Oh, we're fine.
13:08We're fine.
13:09Hey, how are you and Mark?
13:10Oh, we just lost the porch and the shed.
13:14How about your place?
13:16Not as bad as some.
13:17You know, my heart goes out to Carolina Santos.
13:20Oh, mine too.
13:23Hey.
13:23Oh, thank you so much.
13:25Was that Colin I saw you waving at just now?
13:27Oh, yeah.
13:28Yeah, he's helping out with one of the search and rescue teams.
13:31Yeah, I've heard he was helping, but...
13:33Why are you waving at each other?
13:36You hate him.
13:37No, I don't hate him.
13:39Oh, really?
13:39I have heard you say the actual words, I hate Colin Tron.
13:44I'm just worried about him.
13:47You know, Paige, I'm worried about everybody.
13:49It's dangerous out there.
13:51There are live power lines down.
13:52And there are complete road closures.
13:54Like...
13:55So when exactly did the hate stop?
14:00Well, last night, we spent the night together in the barn and...
14:03Laura?
14:05Tell me everything.
14:07No, nothing happens.
14:09No, we...
14:10We just got to know each other a little better, that's all.
14:14Okay, let's help with the pop-up.
14:17And you are telling me every detail.
14:20Come on.
14:22Nothing.
14:38Useless technology.
14:42Help!
14:44Help me!
14:47Anybody!
14:49Help me!
14:50Mr. Rodriguez, are you in there?
14:58Yes!
14:59I'm here!
15:01And I knocked off my wheelchair!
15:05My leg is stuck!
15:07Stay calm.
15:08Yeah, we have the rescue team here.
15:10We're hearing this to bring and we'll get you out.
15:11Hey!
15:11Bless you!
15:18You've been stuck here for hours!
15:21All right, we're here now.
15:23Okay, we'll have you out shortly.
15:24Let's do it.
15:35So, did you hear?
15:39What, the chicken's a little dry, but the mac and cheese is to die for?
15:43Nope.
15:43Thank you so much.
15:45Your boyfriend's a hero.
15:48Oh yeah?
15:49Dane's in Australia.
15:50What could he have done?
15:51No, you're a new boyfriend.
15:54I'm an engaged woman.
15:57So, you officially accepted Dane's proposal then?
16:02Not exactly.
16:03See?
16:04I love Dane.
16:07I have no interest in Colin except his friends.
16:11And besides, he made it very clear in the past that he was never interested either.
16:14Wait, Hero?
16:19He saved Mr. Rodriguez.
16:22Hugo fell out of his wheelchair and spent the entire storm on the floor of his bedroom.
16:27He was lucky that Colin found him.
16:31Wait, is he going to be okay?
16:32Yeah.
16:33Joel, he's a firefighter, said Colin cleared the debris and carried Hugo out to the team.
16:39Joel said, if they hadn't split up like Colin suggested, they wouldn't have got to Hugo
16:46for a few more days.
16:48And who knows what would have happened by then?
16:56We have got ourselves a real, live hero.
16:59Well, if you're not interested, maybe I should ask him out.
17:05I think you should stop talking and eat some chicken.
17:08I hear it's wrong.
17:29How bad was it out there?
17:52Ah.
17:54More tough than bad.
17:55Why do I feel like you chose the areas that were hardest hit to search?
18:02I guess I should have thought that one through a little bit more.
18:07You must be exhausted compared to what we did.
18:11Answering phones, ordering a few supplies.
18:14Oh, come on.
18:15I saw well-fed children in clean clothes that looked very happy.
18:20I know that was all you're doing.
18:21So, tell me about this fiancée.
18:27Dane?
18:30Um, Dane is an architect.
18:33He's actually in Australia right now.
18:35He's working on a big project and, um, and then he'll be back here.
18:42Is he a good man?
18:45Yes.
18:46Yes, he's very good to me.
18:48But.
18:53But.
18:54Well, when you, when you're with the person you're supposed to marry, you, you have this gut feeling, right?
19:01Right.
19:03Unless he isn't.
19:08Oh, no, no, no.
19:09It's okay.
19:09Don't be silly.
19:11You're freezing.
19:13Just take it.
19:16You're welcome.
19:17You should run for mayor.
19:20Because I gave you my jacket?
19:22No.
19:23Although I would vote for that guy.
19:25The way you corralled the search and rescue team.
19:30And how you helped Mr. Rodriguez, it's...
19:33Listen, Joel saved Mr. Rodriguez.
19:35Okay?
19:36I just moved some things out of the way.
19:39That's all.
19:40I'm not so sure that Nathan is the person for that.
19:44You should think about it.
19:46Yeah.
19:47I think I'll, uh, leave running this town to better men.
19:52Who said that?
19:53You send whoever said that my way and I'll give them a good talking to.
19:57Oh, really?
19:58Mm-hmm.
19:58What would you say?
20:00In under 72 hours, a man who thought I hated him...
20:04Hey, you did hate me.
20:07Shh.
20:08I'm talking.
20:09Okay.
20:09This man saved my dog, helped scores of people, and offered to rebuild my family house.
20:18Which you refused.
20:20Which I appreciated.
20:22It's the intent that matters.
20:25Okay.
20:26And he offered me this lovely jacket because he thought I was cold.
20:32You know what?
20:33If you're not cold, I'd be more than happy to take this jacket back.
20:37That's fine.
20:40Hey, Dane.
20:42My beautiful Lauren.
20:43How's everything flood-wise this morning?
20:44It was a beautiful day down under.
20:46Yeah, we're doing okay.
20:48It's...things are still a little bit of a disaster, but we're all pulling through.
20:52That's my girl.
20:54So, uh, when are you getting here?
20:56Coming in?
20:56Sorry?
20:57Yeah, yeah.
20:58When is your project wrapping up so you can come help?
21:00Help?
21:00Happy to help.
21:01Just give me the number.
21:02I'll wire you the cash.
21:04Cash?
21:05No, no, no, no.
21:06Dane, this is not about cash, okay?
21:08I don't need money.
21:09Dane, I need you here.
21:18Dancer, come on.
21:26No!
21:26No!
21:27No!
21:30Get Dan on the phone, will ya?
21:33You want to help Tony with the lumber?
21:35All right.
21:35You got it.
21:35Excuse me.
21:37Hello.
21:37Hi.
21:38What's going on here?
21:40Looks like we're rebuilding somebody's home.
21:42Yes, this is my house.
21:44Ah, you must be Lauren Richards.
21:49It's Lauren Christensen.
21:52Did a man named Dane put you up to this?
21:55Mr. Richards hired us, yes.
21:57I need everybody off of my property right now.
22:01Excuse me, miss?
22:06You're Dane.
22:07Dane, what is going on on my property right now?
22:10Lauren, guess what?
22:11I got my assistant to get a great crew.
22:13I'm not going to be there any minute now.
22:14No, yeah, they're all working here right now.
22:16Great.
22:17They said they'd be fast.
22:18No, Dane, I told you, I wanted to rebuild my family home myself.
22:23But I just wanted to support.
22:26Dane, you are a great guy.
22:29You really are.
22:30You have treated me like gold.
22:32But there is one thing that has become crystal clear to me,
22:35and that is that you have never treated me like an equal.
22:39You know, all my thoughts, all my feelings,
22:41have been completely second to yours.
22:43What, Lauren?
22:44I...
22:45Like, you never listened.
22:46That time that I told you I didn't want to go to London,
22:49or that I didn't need that new car,
22:51or that I will never give up being a teacher.
22:58Dane, I can't do this anymore.
22:59I can't marry you.
23:10Lauren?
23:10Lauren?
23:11Lauren?
23:12In my moment of weakness,
23:25I need something to free, this heaviness on my heart that I can't share.
23:38I need something to free, this heaviness on my heart that I can't share.
23:50I still carry it with me, feeling like I'm unworthy, and the thing I need most is the hardest to take.
24:09Where the shadows grow tall And your back's up against the wall
24:23In this moment, it's clear In the darkest of times, love begins here
24:34You know, you really should get that dog a leash.
24:39Yeah, well, add it to the list.
24:43Holy cow.
24:44Lauren, how did you build this, this fast?
24:48Dane made a few calls.
24:49That's a good call.
24:53You think?
24:54Yeah, absolutely.
24:57I've heard you go on about a dozen times about building this yourself.
25:01So it's clearly important to you.
25:05Wow.
25:07I agree, thank you.
25:09Hey, listen, also, I need to apologize about last night.
25:13You know, we, um, we almost...
25:15We almost, but we didn't.
25:18Right.
25:18Right?
25:19That's the important thing.
25:19Yeah, because, you know, emotions were high.
25:22I don't know.
25:23I guess that just...
25:25Plus, who would have thought the sanctuary at night would be that nice, shall we say?
25:33Yeah.
25:33And the stained glass windows were really nice as well.
25:39It won't happen again.
25:42Look at that.
25:43Good call.
25:44So, what's next for you in this house, Ms. Lauren?
25:51This house?
25:52Well, um, actually, I was hoping to recruit a nice, strong person to help me lift some heavy furniture.
26:00I guess that's me.
26:02All right, just a few feet back there.
26:04Pivot to your right.
26:05Right.
26:06And we'll just go right to that wall.
26:08Okay, right here?
26:11Yeah.
26:14Amazing.
26:17Okay, I just need your help with this trunk over here.
26:21One or two things, huh?
26:22You okay?
26:39Yeah.
26:41Oh, who doesn't want a chance to remodel, right?
26:44I did want to do it myself, though.
26:47Listen, I understand.
26:48Um, but Dane's people, they did an amazing job, okay?
26:53Because they left the entire foundation.
26:55They put up the perimeter wall so you can completely design the layout.
27:00I mean, you can move the kitchen from over here to right here to get better sunlight during the day.
27:06Right here, you could add a little, uh, breakfast nook.
27:09And, uh, this, if you extend the mudroom out a little bit, you have an extra bedroom.
27:15Bedroom or an office?
27:16Or an office.
27:16Anything you want.
27:18Colin, these are good ideas.
27:20I think they're all for tomorrow's work, Bill.
27:22Sounds good.
27:23I think I'm going to hit the hay.
27:25Literally.
27:26What do you mean?
27:27I think I'm going to spend the night in the barn again tonight.
27:32By yourself?
27:34Well, with dance, sir.
27:36Yeah, no, I wasn't implying that I would stay with you.
27:39I just, um, why not go back to the relief center?
27:42You know why?
27:43Because a really nice guy helped me fix up my bedroom in there, and I'd like to embrace that.
27:49Well, I'm going back there tonight myself, so if you need a ride, I'd be more than happy.
27:54Why?
27:54I thought your house was fine.
27:55Yeah, no, it's fine.
27:56I'm just going to go back in case anybody needs any help from him.
27:58And think about it.
28:00Here, you have no running water.
28:02You don't have a working washroom.
28:04I think the relief center will be a better idea.
28:07So, come back, be there with the townspeople, and myself.
28:14You flipped me.
28:15That's good.
28:16Come on, doctor.
28:17Come on.
28:18Here in the morning, we're not the same.
28:25Well, I got the feeling that we're going to change.
28:33And having to keep that insight deep in our hearts with only one lifetime.
28:42This is what you're going to claim to.
28:46In this world, in this life, you need someone to hold you.
28:53To stay young and stay free.
28:59In this world, in this life, you need someone to love you.
29:05This is what a good thing feels like.
29:11In this world, in this life, you need someone to love you.
29:18This is what a good thing feels like.
29:24But it feels like you're all right.
29:28Got you a little lunch.
29:32You're welcome.
29:35So, I have a question for you.
29:37Okay.
29:38Mr. Colin Ladiesman.
29:41How come you haven't found a lady for yourself yet?
29:45Honestly?
29:47Honestly.
29:47My dad.
29:53I remember your dad.
29:55He left a few years back, no?
29:57Yeah.
29:59After he cheated on my mother more than once.
30:02I was the youngest of five boys.
30:05And my mom was...
30:07She didn't have the time or the energy to supervise me.
30:11And younger Colin might have taken advantage of that.
30:14But my mom, after taking care of five boys, after cooking dinners and cleaning the house
30:21and going through letters from my teachers, she would actually sit down and tutor me every
30:25night.
30:26And it worked.
30:28I got better grades.
30:32Moms, you gotta love them.
30:35Dad's not so much.
30:36Apparently mine was, uh, spending time all over town.
30:44My mom, she never talked about it.
30:48One night we were, uh, at my brother's wedding.
30:52We're sitting there, just the two of us.
30:54And she finally told me everything that he had done, how badly he had hurt her.
31:02And, uh, that was the night.
31:05That was the night that I promised her I would never be like him.
31:10I would never be my father.
31:13And I might have been the resident ladies' man, as you put it, but I never cheated.
31:19Never.
31:19But you can't spend your whole life pushing people away, though, Colin.
31:27That's worked so far.
31:30But, you know.
31:30Hey, listen, I want to make a suggestion, okay?
31:32We've made a lot of progress on this house.
31:35Great progress.
31:36Yes, we have.
31:37But, we have some pretty big jobs coming up.
31:42Like roofing, electrical, plumbing.
31:45So, with your permission, I have some friends who could, uh, probably help with that and get you in your home a little quicker.
31:55Okay, I could be open to that.
31:57Huh?
32:04Lauren, I don't know if you remember any of my old friends.
32:07Uh, but they just got done clearing the main road out to the highway.
32:09We got Dev.
32:11Oh.
32:11We got Sean and Siro.
32:14Yeah, yeah, Dev, good to see you again.
32:16All right, how have you been?
32:17Hey, take it easy.
32:18She's got a fiancé, you know.
32:19I'm just saying hi.
32:21Guys, this means so much to me, honestly.
32:24Thank you so, so much.
32:25Now, to tell Siro what she wants to live first, we'll go ahead and get started.
32:59You stole my heart.
33:09What's up?
33:12Hey.
33:13So, um, you and Colin?
33:19We're friends.
33:21What?
33:22Okay, I have a fiancé.
33:25Oh, okay.
33:28Why?
33:30I'm just, you know, I thought I was getting a vibe.
33:37No.
33:38No vibe.
33:40Okay.
33:41No vibe.
33:45Why?
33:46Did you pick up on a vibe or something?
33:50This is grade school.
33:52Should I pass a note for you during math class?
33:54Well, Colin kind of likes you.
34:04Really?
34:05And you kind of like him?
34:11Yeah.
34:11I really like Colin as a friend.
34:14See, seriously, he's been amazing to me throughout this whole storm situation.
34:19No.
34:20As a little kid, you liked him.
34:27As a big kid, you liked him.
34:29When you moved to Georgia, you liked him.
34:32And when he moved back, no surprises there, you liked him.
34:38I've got a fiancé.
34:43Okay, Lauren.
34:44Thanks so much, you guys.
34:58Wow.
34:59I cannot believe how much progress we've made on this house.
35:02Well, the Amish can build a barn in a day, so by that standard, we're kind of far behind schedule.
35:10No, but seriously, your friends are really awesome.
35:15That cereal can really lift heavy things.
35:18Yeah, they're all right, I guess.
35:19They're all right, and you're all right.
35:22Just take credit for what an awesome friend you've been.
35:28Friend, huh?
35:29Yes, you are helping me to rebuild my house.
35:36Well, I think I'm going to spend the night here tonight.
35:39There's no interior of the house.
35:40How are you going to do that?
35:41No, no, no, not in the house, in the barn.
35:43Plus, the house has running water, gas, everything I need.
35:47By yourself in the barn?
35:49No, with Dad, sir.
35:51Hey, Pop.
35:52All right, well, I'll be staying the night at my place,
35:55so, you know, if you ever needed a place to crash.
36:00Are you trying to spend the night with me?
36:03No.
36:04I'm just letting you know,
36:06if you didn't feel like staying in the barn by yourself, you have a place, too.
36:10Well, that's sweet of you, but I'm a big girl, I got this.
36:14Just offering as a friend.
36:16Right, because that's what we are.
36:17Exactly.
36:18Friends.
36:24Okay, well, I'm going to wash up at the house, and then let's go to the barn.
36:28Yeah, great.
36:29I'm going to get in the truck and head back to the cabin.
36:32All right, you can take this.
36:33Oh, sure.
36:34All right, well, good night, friend.
36:40Good night, friend.
36:43All right, well, good night.
37:13Friends.
37:21Friends.
37:23Friends.
37:25Colin, she is asleep in a barn by herself.
37:32What would your mother think if she knew this?
37:36You know what?
37:37He's not even that good looking.
37:38No matter how many times Zero thinks he catches me checking him out, he's not.
37:43He's so amazing, though.
37:46He just doesn't see it.
37:49He saved entire families out there.
37:55He helped rebuild my house.
38:03Friends, my fight.
38:04That's it.
38:04That's it.
38:10That's it.
38:24Colin!
38:26Colin!
38:26Lauren?
38:43Hello?
38:44Hey, Colin. It's me. It's Lauren.
38:47Um, why aren't you answering your door?
38:50Wait, you're at my place?
38:52Wait, you're not at your place?
38:54No, no. I'm at your place.
38:56What are you doing there?
38:58I, uh...
39:00I was worried about you.
39:03Yeah. You started coming?
39:05Check on you.
39:06What are you doing at my place?
39:08I got scared.
39:10Uh, yeah, I just... I was scared staying in the creepy barn by myself.
39:13You said it wasn't creepy.
39:14No, I know, but it turns out it is.
39:17Well...
39:19You're at my place. I'm at your place.
39:23Yeah, that's pretty funny.
39:24Why don't you just... Why don't you just crash at my place tonight and I'll stay here.
39:31Yeah, no, that, um, that sounds great.
39:35Very reasonable.
39:36Yeah. Um, the, um...
39:38The key to the front door is there on the window seal.
39:43We'll all have a big laugh about this tomorrow, Lauren.
39:45I know.
39:48Okay, goodnight, Colin.
39:50It's my sleep, Lauren.
39:50Wow.
40:10Wow.
40:11I remember this.
40:41Who's got a fiancée?
40:46You can't do this.
41:08Dancer?
41:11Is this you, buddy?
41:19What are you doing, Colin?
41:21Sleeping in a pink frilly bed.
41:23That's what you're doing.
41:41Lauren?
41:43What are you doing here?
41:45I came here to talk to you.
41:47Okay.
41:49Is everything all right?
41:51No, actually, it's not.
41:53Okay.
41:55I...
41:57I really like you, Colin.
41:59I really like you.
42:01And actually, I came to apologize to you, too, for hating you all of those years after that stupid day at the picnic.
42:11Because I was just embarrassed.
42:13And I was really insecure.
42:15And I spent years trying to avoid you thinking that you were this horrible person, even though you're not at all.
42:21I was a horrible person.
42:25You're not a horrible person, Colin.
42:29You are smart.
42:31Right?
42:32You're kind.
42:33You're a leader.
42:35And, okay, I saw the furniture in your house.
42:37Wow.
42:39Talk about talented.
42:41And you listen to me.
42:44You care about what I have to say.
42:48You care about other people, Colin.
42:50Do you know how rare that is?
42:55I like you.
42:57And if I'm being honest, I think you like me, too.
43:03Lauren, you have a fiancé.
43:06I mean, I saw his pictures up in your bedroom.
43:09Your barn room.
43:11Whatever.
43:12You two seem incredibly happy together.
43:15I mean, you deserve him.
43:17All right?
43:18Because I was awful.
43:19No, you were just pushing me away like you're doing right now.
43:23Lauren, how could I not like you?
43:26Tell me.
43:28You're at the top of the class.
43:31The best catch.
43:33The most beautiful woman in town.
43:35You dedicate your whole life to helping children.
43:38You're smart.
43:40Talented.
43:41You're an absolute boss with a nail gun.
43:46You give back to other people.
43:47And you deserve the best.
43:50And, Lauren, that's not me.
43:53History has shown that it's not me.
43:56You deserve Dane.
43:57I broke up with Dane.
44:01When?
44:03That day that he brought the crew over and I asked him not to.
44:08Why did you do that, Lauren?
44:10My gut.
44:12And because he never listened to me.
44:15Why don't you say something sooner?
44:17Because I was so tired of relationships, Colin.
44:23You know?
44:24And then there's this incredible guy standing right in front of me.
44:28And...
44:31And I couldn't help but fall for him.
44:33Colin...
44:34I think I'm falling in love with you.
44:46I...
44:56I can't do this.
45:00I'm sorry.
45:01I thought I could.
45:02But I can't.
45:16Don't wanna do something I can't take back.
45:23Don't wanna leave without seeing you.
45:30I can't bear to look in your eyes.
45:36All I see is the road that I didn't choose.
45:41In another lifetime, in some forgotten dream.
45:52In another lifetime, maybe it was meant to be.
46:05In another lifetime.
46:11Sometimes I wonder where I'd end up.
46:19If I follow this dark even trail.
46:25Into the unknown years we planned.
46:31Living ghosts of a life that could have been.
46:42Dancer?
46:45What are you doing here, buddy?
46:47Is Lauren here?
46:49Lauren!
46:52You're supposed to run off again.
46:58What do you need?
46:59Yeah, um...
47:01Dancer's actually here at my place.
47:02Sorry about that.
47:03No, no, it's...
47:04It's fine.
47:05You're just supposed to...
47:06Run off again.
47:08Um...
47:09Listen, if you want, I could, um...
47:12You know, bring him back to your place.
47:15Could you drop him at my friend Paige's?
47:17At Paige's book?
47:18Yeah.
47:19Yeah.
47:20That's...
47:21That's fine.
47:24Um...
47:25Lauren, listen.
47:33Paige.
47:34Hey.
47:35Dancer.
47:36You've been on your adventures again.
47:38Yes, yes.
47:39I'll keep him until Lauren gets back from teaching.
47:41Thanks.
47:43Paige.
47:45Could you tell Lauren something for me?
47:48Tell Lauren what?
47:49Could you tell Lauren just to get this dog a leash?
47:52Thanks.
47:53Cool boy.
47:54In the house?
47:56In the house?
47:59In the house.
48:03Hey.
48:04Oh, Ey!
48:13Hey, AĂȘ.
48:14Hey, Leigh flops.
48:16Huh ?
48:17Hey.
48:18girlfriends...
48:19Live?
48:20How much?
48:21All right.
48:22iberals.
48:23Answer, I don't have time
48:30Both of my interrupting
48:36No, it's not your dog's all
48:39All right
48:40What's going on?
48:44You know, calling for a smart guy, you can be pretty dumb sometimes
48:48Man, you can't blame your dad for everything
48:50I can blame him for a lot
48:53Come on, just talk to her
48:56Okay, tell her how you feel
48:58She doesn't want to talk to me
49:00She doesn't want to see me
49:01That ship has sailed, my friend
49:04Well, that's not necessarily true
49:07What do you mean?
49:09Building her house
49:10When you're together, there's like a...
49:13There's a vibe
49:15There's a vibe?
49:16Yeah, I woke up in high school, a vibe?
49:18Serious, man
49:19It's just my gut, but I think there's still a chance, man
49:22You don't understand, Ciro
49:24You won't ever understand
49:26No, Colin
49:27You don't understand
49:29What are you doing?
49:34Big guts
49:35Sutter
49:36Hey, buddy
49:38Hey, listen
49:39Not your turn to talk
49:40We've known Lauren's family for what?
49:4340, 50 years?
49:45I know, Sutter
49:46Listen, listen
49:47You were a teenager when we moved back here from Georgia
49:50And since then
49:52There's only been one woman
49:54Only one
49:55Lauren
49:56The problem is
49:58You think you're not good enough
50:00But it's not true
50:01Sutter, what dad did
50:03Was...
50:04Listen, shut up
50:04I'm not talking about dad
50:05I'm talking about you
50:06You're a good man
50:08You always have been
50:11I don't need to tell you what mom and dad went through
50:14Listen, hold on
50:16Mom
50:16She talks more about the good years than the bad years
50:20With what happened to mom
50:23I promised her
50:24I would never hurt somebody like dad hurt her
50:27And you won't
50:28You won't
50:29You are not dad
50:31Tell me about Lauren
50:35What?
50:35Well, I can't stop thinking about her
50:38If that's what you mean
50:39I, uh
50:41I
50:43I just want to be with her
50:45All the time
50:49I mean, seeing
50:50Seeing that girl accomplish something
50:52It's
50:52Something that behold
50:54She gets this smile on her face
50:56You know
50:57It's
50:57Sutter
51:00I can't stop thinking about her
51:03Well, there she is
51:04Teaching a bunch of third graders
51:06And there's a man on his way
51:08To maybe take her away from you forever
51:09Do you really love her?
51:12All my heart
51:13Yeah
51:14Then don't let dad's behavior
51:16Stop you
51:17From maybe being with her forever
51:19Can I show you something?
51:23I'll put it up
51:24I made that
51:24You made this?
51:26I ain't surprised
51:27It's what I do
51:28Wow
51:28Think she'll like it?
51:30Yeah
51:30Think it'll fit?
51:33You don't know if you don't try
51:37You're right
51:39How's my Lauren?
51:46Dane, what are you doing here?
51:48I came to apologize
51:49I want to make this work
51:51Me and you
51:52Dane, we talked about this
51:55You were right
51:56I should have listened to you
51:58I should never have sent those guys
52:00To build your house for you
52:01Or sent you that furniture
52:03That Italian marble tile
52:04It's just my way of taking care of you
52:06And yet you took this long to get here
52:08You chose your job, Dane
52:12Look, look
52:14I'm here now
52:14I don't want to make this work
52:16I am listening
52:18But it's so much more than that
52:20You know
52:23After the storm hit
52:26I realized what's important to me
52:29And I also realized what's important to you
52:32And those two things just aren't the same
52:36I love you
52:40And I loved you
52:42But
52:43Your life is all condos, right?
52:46And big city living
52:48And I'm all little kids
52:49We can make this place work
52:51We're going to get a place here
52:52We're going to buy a home
52:54And you're going to design it
52:56And it's going to be fantastic
52:57I already have a house here
52:59I have a home, actually
53:00A home that I built myself
53:03I'm sorry, Dane
53:08No, Lauren, I'm sorry
53:11Dane
53:19No
