00:00They're hitting us early in the season this year. We're looking at sustained gusts of over 97 miles an hour
00:30We should head over to Paytas. She's got a basement
00:35Oh
00:58Dantor?
01:01Dantor!
01:05I need a little help right now.
01:20I got him.
01:21I got him.
01:22I got him.
01:23He's like, we'll be here on that.
01:42Um, I'm gonna...
01:51All of you guys in town, calling Trump.
02:01It's about time for you and me to, uh, get the hay.
02:05Seriously?
02:07Yeah.
02:09Now, what I remember, I remember being here for one of your birthday parties.
02:16You know what?
02:18I also remember running into you at the picnic, you know, about five years ago now.
02:26All in one, two.
02:27All right.
02:28Everybody ready?
02:29Ready.
02:30Set.
02:31Go!
02:32Inside!
02:33Outside!
02:34Inside!
02:35Inside!
02:36Inside!
02:37Inside!
02:38Go!
02:39Go!
02:40Go!
02:41Go!
02:42Go!
02:43Go!
02:44Go!
02:45Go!
02:46Go!
02:47Go!
02:48Go!
02:49Go!
02:50Look, it's been really fun!
02:51Huh?
02:52Yeah.
02:53I even enjoyed losing that race.
02:57so...
02:59I'm just going to go out on a limb here but I think this would be really fun to do again
03:07next week.
03:08The fair's not going to be back till the end of the month.
03:13Oh, I know, not the fair.
03:16I just meant coffee or a movie or something.
03:21I'll get the tickets, you get the popcorn.
03:29I don't think so.
03:33Lauren, look, I did you a favor, believe me.
03:36You were a schoolteacher and people would have talked, I promise.
03:42They talked anyway.
03:43No, but the stories would have been much different.
03:46Yeah, but I would not have cared.
03:51Sorry.
04:06Lauren, I'm so sorry.
04:16This is my house.
04:19This is where I grew up.
04:21Like, all of my memories are here.
04:23Lauren, a lot of this stuff isn't ruined.
04:25You know, you just dry it out, get the water off of it, the mold sets in.
04:31I guess.
04:32You guess?
04:34No, things are just things, Lauren.
04:38No, but they were my things, though.
04:40Right, but they weren't you.
04:43They weren't Dancer, they weren't your parents.
04:46I know, you're right.
04:49When I was a little girl, I would sit there and I'd watch my parents fix everything.
04:55And then I grew up and I learned how to do the same.
04:58My dad and I built that barn that kept us safe last night.
05:01And I have watched hours and hours of home rental shows.
05:07I'm going to rebuild this house myself.
05:13Yeah?
05:14Yes.
05:15I know I can do it.
05:17So, Lauren, what are you going to do next?
05:20First, I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself.
05:26I know there are plenty of folks out there who are way worse off than I am.
05:30I was actually thinking about that earlier this morning.
05:34I thought about maybe going into town, checking everybody, check the damage.
05:43Well, let's go do that.
05:45Yeah.
05:46Alright.
05:47Alright, why don't we throw on a change of clothes?
05:53Yeah.
05:54Good idea.
06:00Colin, I'm sorry about last night.
06:02What about?
06:03It's bringing up the past.
06:05I shouldn't have done that.
06:07I'm sorry for that day at the fair.
06:10Thank you, but you are allowed to date whoever you want.
06:15Believe me, you did dodge a bullet with me.
06:18Okay?
06:19Being single is kind of my lot in life, I guess.
06:21But, what about you?
06:24Anyone you're seeing?
06:26Uh, yeah, my boyfriend, Dane.
06:28Oh, he's not a fiancé, actually.
06:30Well, kind of.
06:33Kinda?
06:34It's a kinda fiancé.
06:38What's this?
06:39Frida?
06:40Frida.
06:41Colin?
06:42Lauren?
06:43Hey, Frida.
06:44How are you and Hector doing?
06:45We're good.
06:46Can't say as much for Mayor Wallace.
06:48Did you hear?
06:50No.
06:51What happened?
06:52Heart attack.
06:53He was checking on some people and a tree fell.
06:55Landed on the hood of his car, just like that.
06:58Mm-hmm.
06:59He didn't make it.
07:00There's never been a storm like this recorded in the county's history.
07:03We're all praying that there aren't any more casualties.
07:06I can't believe this.
07:09Um, thank you so much, Frida.
07:12Mm-hmm.
07:13Drop safe.
07:14You too, Colin.
07:15Rolls are in bad shape.
07:23Hey, Sutter.
07:24It's Colin.
07:25Yeah, I know.
07:26How are you?
07:27It looked pretty bad up there last night.
07:29Yeah, no, uh...
07:30Not a scratch.
07:31I'm relieved.
07:32How's Colin?
07:33Mom?
07:34Not a scratch.
07:35His words.
07:36He's fine.
07:37I, um...
07:38I spent the night at Lauren Christensen's barn.
07:40Excuse me?
07:42You wanna explain?
07:43Uh...
07:44I'm fine.
07:45But, um...
07:46Her house was destroyed in the storm.
07:52That's awful.
07:53Oh, and good of you to take care of her.
07:55Oh, no.
07:56She's actually the one who took care of me.
07:58She actually got me in out of the storm.
08:00Kept me dry.
08:02How did you end up at her place?
08:04I mean, I know you got that property up there next to hers, but...
08:06Hey, uh...
08:07Sutter, listen.
08:08I gotta go.
08:09Uh...
08:10This is the only line that we have.
08:11Okay, uh...
08:12Tell me one thing.
08:13She's still as good looking as I remember?
08:17Better.
08:20You be good to her, Colin.
08:21Yeah.
08:22No, Mom, I love her.
08:23I already did.
08:24Later.
08:25See ya.
08:26That's how the Shumaks make out.
08:27The road to their barn washed out completely, but they got their animals out early, so...
08:36They did.
08:39That's some good news, I guess.
08:42Hey, going back to what I said earlier about helping you rebuild your house...
08:47It'd be no trouble.
08:48It's okay.
08:49I can figure it out.
08:51It's not like I think that you need a man's help or anything like that.
08:55It's just...
08:56You know what I do for a living, right?
08:58Yes, you make furniture, and...
09:00I'm a carpenter.
09:01Pretty good carpenter, actually.
09:02And so helping you with your house would be no problem.
09:06It's a really nice offer, but no thank you.
09:09The phone's free, so...
09:11I'm going to call my fiancee.
09:25You updated?
09:26Hey, it's me.
09:27Lauren, my assistant's been trying you for hours.
09:29Are you okay?
09:30Yes, I'm fine.
09:32Um, but my entire house was destroyed.
09:36And sorry, I would have called earlier, but...
09:39All of the power's out.
09:40All the phone lines are down.
09:45Your house was destroyed?
09:47But my Lauren's okay.
09:48I'm fine.
09:49I promise.
09:50You should move into my Manhattan condo while I'm still closing with steel.
09:53Then when I'm done, I'll meet you there.
09:55You want me to leave at a time like this?
09:57Dane, I can't do that.
09:59The community needs every single one of us here right now.
10:02Look, I just want you to be safe.
10:06That's sweet.
10:07But I'm going to stay here, and I also want to rebuild my family home myself.
10:16Listen, give me a couple hours.
10:18I'm going to talk to my assistant.
10:19He's going to find you the best crew in the Tri-State area.
10:21And they'll be there this afternoon to start construction.
10:24A crew?
10:25No.
10:26No.
10:27No, no, no.
10:28It's way too early for any of that.
10:29You're going to supervise, of course.
10:31Dane Richards, you have zero listening skills.
10:34My grandparents built that family home, and I'm going to do the same.
10:38Lauren, Lauren, I'm just trying to help.
10:40Your school teacher, you can't build a house by yourself.
10:42I know it takes a team to rebuild a home, but that team starts with me.
10:49Hey.
10:50How do you get in here?
10:51Excuse me?
10:52Sorry, I was rude.
10:53And that is why we need to get people out there now, starting the cleanup efforts.
11:02This is crazy.
11:03The council has made a list of places to start.
11:07Nathan, I know you're doing your best with Mayor Wallace, gone and all.
11:15But we need to organize search parties to go out there and find the people who need help.
11:20I just spoke with the people from FEMA less than an hour ago.
11:27They need the roads clear so that they can deliver the relief supplies.
11:30Food, water, medicine.
11:32Right.
11:33Search and rescue is the main priority right now.
11:35And you said to yourself that FEMA was not going to be here for several days.
11:39This is not about you, Colin.
11:41Please sit down.
11:42Nathan, given the circumstances, I feel like we just set aside our differences.
11:46Now here, we look out for each other.
11:49That's what we do.
11:51Okay, so there could be people out there without clean water, without power.
11:55They could be injured.
11:56They could be sick.
11:57We've got to have search parties to get out there and find those people.
12:01Sure.
12:02Our fire department is out there right now doing exactly just that.
12:07Great.
12:08Well, we can help them.
12:09How many firefighters are there?
12:10We have five well-trained professionals.
12:13Five.
12:14Nathan, that's a lot of ground to cover.
12:17And we should split those five up.
12:19And each one of those firefighters can be in charge of a small search party of volunteers.
12:23We could search the entire town in a day, a day and a half at max.
12:27So we'd have five search parties?
12:29Five?
12:30Fine.
12:31The council will radio out to the professionals.
12:34And if the firefighters agree, the council will allow it.
12:37Page.
12:38Oh, I'm so happy to see you.
12:54I've been looking everywhere for you.
12:56Oh, we tried to get you.
12:58I'm so glad you two made it through the storm okay.
13:02Oh, we're fine.
13:03We're fine.
13:04Hey, how are you and Marge?
13:05Oh, we just lost the porch and the shed.
13:08How about your place?
13:10Not as bad as some.
13:12You know, my heart goes out to Carolina Santos.
13:15Oh, mine too.
13:17Hey, was that Colin I saw you waving at just now?
13:22Oh, yeah.
13:23Yeah, he's helping out with one of the search and rescue teams.
13:25Yeah, I've heard he was helping, but...
13:28Why are you waving at each other?
13:30You hate him.
13:32No, I don't hate him.
13:33Oh, really?
13:34I have heard you say the actual words, I hate Colin Traum.
13:39I'm just worried about him.
13:41You know, Page, I'm worried about everybody.
13:44It's dangerous out there.
13:45There are live power lines down.
13:47There are complete road closures.
13:49Like...
13:51So when exactly did the hate stop?
13:54Well, last night we spent the night together in the barn and there's...
13:58The barn?
13:59Tell me everything.
14:02No, nothing happens.
14:04No, we...
14:05We just got to know each other a little better, that's all.
14:08Okay, let's help with the pop book.
14:11And you are telling me every detail.
14:14Come on.
14:15Nothing.
14:16Useless technology.
14:30Help!
14:31Help!
14:32Help me!
14:33Anybody?
14:34Help me!
14:35Mr. Rodriguez, are you in there?
14:36Yes!
14:37I'm here!
14:38I got knocked off my wheelchair!
14:39My leg is stuck!
14:40Say calm.
14:41Yeah.
14:42We have the rescue team here.
14:43We're here in this spring and we'll get you out.
14:44Ah!
14:45What?
14:46What?
14:47What?
14:48What?
14:49What?
14:50What?
14:51What?
14:52What?
14:53What?
14:54What?
14:55What?
14:56What?
14:57What?
14:58What?
14:59What?
15:00What?
15:01What?
15:02What?
15:03What?
15:04What?
15:05What?
15:06What?
15:07What?
15:08What?
15:11What's it?
15:13I've been stuck here for hours.
15:17OK?
15:18We're here now, OK?
15:19We'll have you out shortly.
15:30So, did you hear?
15:34What, the chicken's a little dry but the mac and cheese is to die for?
15:37die for? Nope. Thank you so much. Thank you. Your boyfriend's a hero. Oh yeah? Dane's in Australia.
15:45What could he have done? No. You're a new boyfriend. I'm an engaged woman. So you officially accepted
15:54Dane's proposal then? Not exactly. See? I love Dane. I have no interest in Colin except his
16:05friends and besides he made it very clear in the past that he was never interested either.
16:12Wait, hero? He saved Mr. Rodriguez. Hugo fell out of his wheelchair and spent the entire storm on the
16:21floor of his bedroom. He was lucky that Colin found him. Wait, is he going to be okay? Yeah. Joel,
16:28he's a firefighter. He said Colin cleared the debris and carried Hugo out to the team.
16:35Joel said, if they hadn't split up like Colin suggested, they wouldn't have got to Hugo
16:41for a few more days. And who knows what would have happened by then.
16:51We have got ourselves a real live hero. Well, if you're not interested, maybe I should ask him.
17:00I think he should stop talking and eat some chicken. I hear it's drunk.
17:04I think he should stop talking and eat some chicken and do some chicken. I know I'm sure I got all the
17:11alimentg rope and Wenns in his home that тот dapat us to let it.
17:14He wants to accomplish anything. I did not mean to physics, but if that would have the
17:17foller on to him off to him. But now we don't want him to normally replace him.
17:21I hope he seems to нов zouden him to these kiddos from the world had already come with.
17:24And before I had put this君 in the fifth place where he was not ill, he would have
17:28been a Janeiro vi吧. I helped him up because we didn't make fun.
17:31How bad was it out there?
17:49More tough than bad.
17:52Why do I feel like you chose the areas that were hardest hit to search?
17:57I guess I should have thought that one through a little bit more.
18:01You must be exhausted, compared to what we did.
18:06Answering phones, ordering a few supplies.
18:09Oh, come on. I saw well-fed children in clean clothes that looked very happy.
18:15I know that was all you're doing.
18:18So, tell me about this fiancée.
18:22Dane?
18:25Um, Dane is an architect.
18:28He's actually in Australia right now.
18:29Um, he's working on a big project, and, um, and then he'll be back here.
18:37Is he a good man?
18:40Yes.
18:41Yes, he's very good to me.
18:46But?
18:46Well, when you, when you're with the person you're supposed to marry, you have this gut feeling, right?
18:56Right.
18:58Unless he isn't.
18:59Oh, no, no, no, no, it's okay.
19:04Don't be silly.
19:06You're freezing.
19:08Just take it.
19:11You're welcome.
19:12You should run for mayor.
19:15Because I gave you my jacket?
19:17No.
19:18Although I would vote for that guy.
19:20The way you corralled the search and rescue team.
19:25And how you helped Mr. Rodriguez, it's...
19:28Listen, Joel saved Mr. Rodriguez.
19:30Okay, I just moved some things out of the way.
19:33I'm not so sure that Nathan is the person for that.
19:39You should think about it.
19:41Yeah.
19:42I think I'll, uh, leave running this town to better men.
19:47Who said that?
19:48You send whoever said that my way, and I'll give them a good talking to.
19:52Oh, really?
19:53Mm-hmm.
19:53What would you say?
19:53In under 72 hours, a man who thought I hated him...
19:59Hey, you did hate me.
20:02Shh, I'm talking.
20:04Okay.
20:04This man saved my dog, helped scores of people, and offered to rebuild my family house.
20:13Which you refused.
20:15Which I appreciated.
20:17It's the intent that matters.
20:20Okay.
20:20And he offered me this lovely jacket, because he thought I was cold.
20:27You know what?
20:28If you're not cold, I'd be more than happy to take this jacket back.
20:32That's fine.
20:35Hey, Dane.
20:37My beautiful Lauren.
20:38How's everything flood-wise this morning?
20:39It was a beautiful day down under.
20:41Yeah, we're doing okay.
20:43It's...
20:43Things are still a little bit of a disaster, but we're all pulling through.
20:47That's my girl.
20:49So, uh, when are you getting here?
20:50Coming in?
20:51Sorry?
20:52Yeah, yeah.
20:53When is your project wrapping up so you can come help?
20:55Help?
20:55Packet of help.
20:56Just give me the number.
20:57I'll wire you the cash.
20:59Cash?
21:00No, no, no, no.
21:01Dane, this is not about cash, okay?
21:03I don't need money.
21:04Dane, I need you here.
21:06You want to help Tony with the number?
21:30All right, you got it.
21:30Excuse me.
21:32Hello.
21:32Hi.
21:33What's going on here?
21:35Looks like we're rebuilding somebody's home.
21:37Yes, this is my house.
21:39Ah, you must be Lauren Richards.
21:44It's Lauren Christensen.
21:47Did a man named Dane put you up to this?
21:50Mr. Richards hired us, yes.
21:52I need everybody off of my property right now.
21:56Excuse me, miss?
22:01You have Dane.
22:02Dane, what is going on on my property right now?
22:05Lauren, guess what?
22:06I got my assistant to get a great crew.
22:08I'm not going to be there any minute now.
22:09Oh, yeah, they're all working here right now.
22:11Great.
22:12They said they'd be fast.
22:13No, Dane, I told you I wanted to rebuild my family home myself.
22:18But I just wanted to support.
22:21Dane, you are a great guy.
22:24You really are.
22:25You have treated me like gold.
22:27But there is one thing that has become crystal clear to me,
22:30and that is that you have never treated me like an equal.
22:34You know, all my thoughts, all my feelings
22:36have been completely second to yours.
22:38What?
22:38Lauren, I...
22:40Like, you never listened.
22:41That time that I told you I didn't want to go to London.
22:44Or that I didn't need that new car.
22:46Or that I will never give up being a teacher.
22:53Dane, I can't do this anymore.
22:58I can't marry you.
23:05Lauren.
23:07Lauren?
23:11In my moment of weakness, I need something to free this.
23:39Heaviness on my heart that I can't shake.
23:49I still carry it with me.
23:54Feeling like I'm unworthy.
23:58And the thing that I need most is the hardest to take.
24:08Where the shadows grow tall.
24:13And your back's up against the wall.
24:18In this moment, it's clear.
24:24In the darkest of times, love begins here.
24:31You know, you really should get that dog a leash.
24:34Yeah, well.
24:36Add it to the list.
24:38Holy cow.
24:39Lauren, how did you build this, this fast?
24:43Dane made a few calls.
24:44That's a good call.
24:48You think?
24:49Yeah.
24:50Absolutely.
24:52I've heard you go on about a dozen times about building this yourself.
24:56So it's clearly important to you.
25:00Wow.
25:02I agree.
25:04Hey, listen.
25:04Also, I need to apologize about last night.
25:08You know, we, um, we almost...
25:10We almost, but we didn't.
25:13Right.
25:13Right?
25:14That's the important thing.
25:14Yeah, because, you know, emotions were high.
25:17I don't know.
25:18I guess that just...
25:20Plus, who would have thought?
25:22The sanctuary at night would be that nice, shall we say.
25:28And the stained glass windows were really nice as well.
25:34It won't happen again.
25:37You bet.
25:38Good call.
25:40So, what's next for you in this house, Miss Lauren?
25:46This house?
25:47Well, um, actually, I was hoping to recruit a nice, strong person to help me lift some heavy furniture.
25:54I guess that's me.
25:56All right, just a few feet back there.
25:59Pivot to your right.
26:00Right.
26:01And we'll just go right to that wall.
26:05Okay, right here?
26:06Yeah.
26:09Amazing.
26:10Yeah.
26:12Okay, I just need your help with this trunk over here.
26:16One or two things, huh?
26:17Yeah.
26:26You okay?
26:34Yeah.
26:36Oh, who doesn't want a chance to remodel, right?
26:39I did want to do it myself, though.
26:42Listen, I understand.
26:44But Dane's people, they did an amazing job, okay?
26:48Because they left the entire foundation.
26:50They put up the perimeter wall, so you can completely design the layout.
26:54I mean, you can move the kitchen from over here to right here, get better sunlight during
27:00the day.
27:01Right here, you could add a little, uh, breakfast look.
27:04And, uh, this, if you extend the mudroom out a little bit, you have an extra bedroom.
27:10Bedroom or an office?
27:11Or an office.
27:11Anything you want.
27:13Colin, these are good ideas.
27:15I think they're all for tomorrow's work, Bill.
27:17Sounds good.
27:17I think I'm going to hit the hay, literally.
27:21What do you mean?
27:22I think I'm going to spend the night in the barn again tonight.
27:27By yourself?
27:29Well, with dance, sir.
27:31Yeah, no, I wasn't implying that I would stay with you.
27:34I just, um, why not go back to the relief center?
27:37You know why?
27:38Because a really nice guy helped me fix up my bedroom in there, and I'd like to embrace
27:44that.
27:45Well, I'm going back there tonight myself, so if you need a ride.
27:47I'd be more than happy.
27:49Why?
27:49I thought your house was fine.
27:50Yeah, no, it's fine.
27:51I'm just going to go back in case anybody needs any help from me.
27:53And think about it.
27:55Here, you have no running water.
27:57You don't have a working washroom.
28:00I think the relief center will be a better idea.
28:02So, come back, get there with the townspeople, and myself.
28:09You flipped me.
28:10That's good.
28:11Come on, dad.
28:17We're not the same.
28:20Well, I've got a feeling that we're going to change.
28:28And to keep that insight deep in our hearts.
28:34With only one lifetime.
28:37This is what you're going to claim to.
28:41In this world, in this life, you need someone to hold you.
28:48To stay young and stay free.
28:51In this world, in this life, you need someone to love you.
29:01This is what a good thing feels like.
29:07In this world, in this life, you need someone to love you.
29:14This is what a good thing feels like.
29:19But it feels like you're all right.
29:23Got you a little lunch?
29:27You're welcome.
29:30So, I have a question for you.
29:32Okay.
29:33Mr. Colin Ladiesman.
29:36How come you haven't found a lady for yourself yet?
29:40Honestly?
29:42Honestly.
29:44My dad.
29:45I remember your dad.
29:50He left a few years back, no?
29:52Yeah.
29:54After he cheated on my mother more than once.
29:57I was the youngest of five boys.
30:00And my mom was...
30:02She didn't have the time or the energy to supervise me.
30:06And younger Colin might have taken advantage of that.
30:09But my mom, after taking care of five boys, after cooking dinners and cleaning the house and going through letters from my teachers, she would actually sit down and tutor me every night.
30:20And it worked.
30:23I got better grades.
30:27Moms.
30:28You gotta love them.
30:29Dad's not so much.
30:33Apparently mine was spending time all over town.
30:38And my mom, she never talked about it.
30:43One night we were at my brother's wedding.
30:47We're sitting there, just the two of us.
30:50And she finally told me everything that he had done.
30:53How badly he had hurt her.
30:56And that was the night.
31:00That was the night that I promised her I would never be like him.
31:05I would never be my father.
31:08And I might have been the resident ladies' man, as you put it, but I never cheated.
31:14Never.
31:18But you can't spend your whole life pushing people away, though, Colin.
31:23That's worked so far.
31:23Hey, listen, I want to make a suggestion, okay?
31:27We've made a lot of progress on this house.
31:30Great progress.
31:31Yes, we have.
31:32But we have some pretty big jobs coming up.
31:37Like roofing, electrical, plumbing.
31:41So, with your permission, I have some friends who could probably help you with that.
31:48We'll get you in your home a little quicker.
31:50Okay, I could be open to that.
31:52Huh?
31:53Lauren, I don't know if you remember any of my old friends, but they just got done clearing
32:03the main road up to the highway.
32:04We've got Dev.
32:06Oh.
32:06We've got Sean and Ciro.
32:09Yeah, yeah, Dev, good to see you again.
32:11All right, how have you been?
32:12Hey, take it easy.
32:13She's got a fiance, you know.
32:14I'm just saying hi.
32:15Guys, this means so much to me, honestly.
32:19Thank you so, so much.
32:20Now, to tell Ciro what shingles to lift first, we'll go ahead and get started.
32:24Good.
32:25I can't stay steady.
32:29Stay as a beating of my love.
32:33Won't
32:34ever want to waver from your driftwood.
32:39Floating up on to the shore.
32:45Either or I'm yours.
32:47You stole my heart
33:01What's up?
33:07Hey!
33:09So, um, you and Colin?
33:14We're friends.
33:16What?
33:17Okay, I have a fiancé.
33:20Oh, okay.
33:23Why?
33:25I just, you know, I thought I was getting...
33:30a vibe.
33:32No.
33:33No vibe.
33:35Okay.
33:36No vibe.
33:40Why, did you...
33:41Did you pick up on a vibe or something?
33:45What, is this grade school?
33:46Should I pass a note for you during math class?
33:53Well, Colin kind of likes you.
33:59Really?
34:01And you kind of like him.
34:03Yeah, I really like Colin as a friend.
34:10Seriously, he's been amazing to me throughout this whole storm situation.
34:14No.
34:15No.
34:19As a little kid, you liked him.
34:22As a big kid, you liked him.
34:24When you moved to Georgia, you liked him.
34:27And when he moved back, no surprises there,
34:32you liked him.
34:33I've got a fiancé.
34:36Okay, Lauren.
34:45Thanks so much, you guys.
34:48Wow.
34:53I cannot believe how much progress we've made on this house.
34:57Well, the Amish can build a barn in a day,
35:00so by that standard, we're kind of far behind schedule.
35:03No, but seriously, your friends are really awesome.
35:10That zero can really lift heavy things.
35:13Yeah, they're all right, I guess.
35:14They're all right, and you're all right.
35:17Just take credit for what an awesome friend you've been.
35:23Friend, huh?
35:24Yes, you are helping me to rebuild my house.
35:31Well, I think I'm going to spend the night here tonight.
35:34There's no interior of the house.
35:35How are you going to do that?
35:36No, no, not in the house, in the barn.
35:38Plus, the house has running water, gas, everything I need.
35:42By yourself in the barn?
35:44No, with Dancer.
35:46All right, Pop.
35:47All right, well, I'll be staying the night at my place,
35:50so, you know, if you ever needed a place to crash...
35:55Are you trying to spend the night with me?
35:58No.
35:59I'm just letting you know
36:01if you didn't feel like staying in the barn by yourself,
36:03you have a place, too.
36:05Well, that's sweet of you, but I'm a big girl.
36:07I got this.
36:09Just offering as a friend.
36:11Right, because that's what we are.
36:12Exactly.
36:13Friends.
36:14Okay, well, I'm going to, um, wash up at the house
36:22and then head to the barn.
36:23Yeah, great.
36:24I'm going to get in the truck and head back to the cabin.
36:27All right, uh, you can take...
36:28Oh, sure.
36:29Yes?
36:30Thanks.
36:31All right, well, uh...
36:33Good night, friend.
36:35Good night.
36:37Friend.
36:38Friend.
36:44Friend.
37:09Friends.
37:16Friends.
37:18Friends!
37:20Colin, she is asleep in a barn by herself.
37:27What would your mother think if she knew this?
37:31You know what? He's not even that good looking.
37:33No matter how many times Zero thinks he catches me checking him out.
37:37He's not.
37:40He's so amazing, though. He just doesn't see it.
37:44He saved entire families out there.
37:50He helped rebuild my house.
37:58Friends, my friends.
38:05That's it.
38:09Lauren!
38:19Lauren!
38:20Lauren!
38:29Lauren?
38:30Hello?
38:39Hey, Colin. It's me. It's Lauren.
38:42Um, why aren't you answering your door?
38:45Wait, you're at my place?
38:47Wait, you're not at your place?
38:49No, no. I'm at your place.
38:51What are you doing there?
38:53I, uh...
38:55I was worried about you.
38:57Yeah.
38:59You started coming?
39:00Check on you.
39:01What are you doing at my place?
39:03I got scared.
39:05Uh, yeah, I just...
39:06I was scared staying in the creepy barn by myself.
39:08You said it wasn't creepy.
39:09No, I know, but it turns out it is.
39:12Well.
39:14You're at my place.
39:15I'm at your place.
39:18Yeah, that's pretty funny.
39:20Why don't you just...
39:21Why don't you just crash at my place tonight?
39:24And...
39:24I'll stay here.
39:26Yeah, no, that, um...
39:27That sounds great.
39:30Very reasonable.
39:31Yeah.
39:31Um, the, um...
39:34The key to the front door is there on the window seal.
39:38We'll all have a big laugh about this tomorrow, Lauren.
39:41I know.
39:43Okay, goodnight, Colin.
39:45Kiss my sleep, Lauren.
39:45Wow.
40:05Wow.
40:06Wow.
40:15I remember this.
40:36Who's got a fiancé?
40:41You can't do this.
40:45Dancer?
41:06Is this you, buddy?
41:13What are you doing, Colin?
41:16Sleeping in a pink frilly bed.
41:18That's what you're doing.
41:36Lauren?
41:37What are you doing here?
41:38I came here to talk to you.
41:42Okay.
41:44Is everything all right?
41:46No, actually, it's not.
41:48Okay.
41:49I, I really like you, Colin.
41:53I, I really like you.
41:57And, actually, I came to apologize to you, too, for hating you all of those years after that stupid day at the picnic.
42:05Because I was just embarrassed.
42:08And I was really insecure.
42:10And I spent years trying to avoid you, thinking that you were this horrible person, even though you're not at all.
42:16I was a horrible person.
42:19You're not a horrible person, Colin.
42:24You are smart.
42:26Right?
42:26You're kind.
42:28You're a leader.
42:30And, okay, I saw the furniture in your house.
42:33Wow.
42:33Talk about talented.
42:34And you listen to me.
42:39You care about what I have to say.
42:43You care about other people, Colin.
42:45Do you know how rare that is?
42:50I like you.
42:52And if I'm being honest, I think you like me, too.
42:58Lauren, you have a fiancé.
43:01I mean, I saw this picture's up in your bedroom.
43:03Your room, your barn room, whatever.
43:07You two seem incredibly happy together.
43:10And you deserve him.
43:13All right?
43:13Because I was awful.
43:14No, you were just pushing me away like you're doing right now.
43:18Lauren, how could I not like you?
43:21Tell me.
43:23You're at the top of the class.
43:26The best catch.
43:28The most beautiful woman in town.
43:30You dedicate your whole life to helping children.
43:33You're smart.
43:35Talented.
43:37You're an absolute boss with a nail gun.
43:40You give back to other people.
43:42And you deserve the best.
43:45And, Lauren, that's not me.
43:47History has shown that it's not me.
43:50You deserve Dane.
43:52I broke up with Dane.
43:56When?
43:58That day that he brought the crew over and I asked him not to.
44:03Why did you do that, Lauren?
44:05My gut.
44:07And because he never listened to me.
44:10Why don't you say something sooner?
44:12Because I was so tired of relationships, Colin.
44:15You know, and then there's this incredible guy standing right in front of me.
44:23And I couldn't help but fall for him.
44:36Colin.
44:36I think I'm falling in love with you.
44:50I can't do this.
44:55I'm sorry.
44:55I thought I could.
44:57But I can't.
44:57I can't.
44:57I can't.
44:59I don't want to do something I can't take back.
45:18Don't want to leave without seeing you.
45:22I can't bear to look in your eyes.
45:31All I see is the road that I didn't choose.
45:38In another lifetime.
45:43In some forgotten dream.
45:46In another lifetime.
45:48Sometimes I wonder where I'd end up.
46:13If I follow the star game trail.
46:18Into the unknown years we've planned.
46:26Living ghosts of a life that could have been.
46:36Dancer?
46:39What are you doing here, buddy?
46:41Is Lauren here?
46:43Lauren.
46:46It's a runoff again.
46:48What do you need?
46:53Yeah, um.
46:55Dancer's actually here at my place.
46:57Sorry about that.
46:58No, no, it's fine.
46:59You're just supposed to run off again.
47:03Listen, if you want, I could, um.
47:06You know, bring him back to your place.
47:09Could you drop him at my friend Paige's?
47:12At Paige's, but yeah.
47:13Yeah.
47:14That's fine.
47:16Um, Lauren, listen.
47:28Paige.
47:29Hey.
47:30Dancer.
47:31You've been on your adventures again.
47:33Yes, yes.
47:34I'll keep him until Lauren gets back from teaching.
47:36Thanks.
47:38Paige.
47:38Paige.
47:38Could you tell Lauren something for me?
47:42Tell Lauren what?
47:44Could you tell Lauren just to get this dog a leash?
47:47Thanks.
47:48Thanks.
47:48Oh, God.
47:59Oh, God.
47:59Oh, God.
47:59Oh, God.
48:04Oh, God.
48:16I don't have time
48:25Oh, am I interrupting?
48:32No, I just thought you were a dog, though
48:34All right
48:35What's going on?
48:39You know, calling for a smart guy, you can be pretty dumb sometimes
48:43Man, you can't blame your dad for everything
48:45I can blame him for a lot
48:48Come on, just talk to her
48:51Okay, tell her how you feel
48:53She doesn't want to talk to me
48:55She doesn't want to see me
48:56That ship has sailed, my friend
48:59Well, that's not necessarily true
49:02What do you mean?
49:04Building her house
49:05When you're together, there's like a...
49:08There's a vibe
49:10There's a vibe?
49:11Yeah, I woke in high school a vibe, I'm serious
49:13It's just my gut
49:15But I think there's still a chance, man
49:17You don't understand, Ciro
49:19You won't ever understand
49:21No, Colin
49:22You don't understand
49:24What are you doing?
49:29Big guns
49:30Sutter!
49:32Hey, buddy
49:33Uh, I...
49:34Hey, listen
49:34Not your turn to talk
49:35We've known Lauren's family for what?
49:3840, 50 years?
49:40I know, Sutter
49:41I know
49:42Listen, listen
49:42You were a teenager when we moved back here from Georgia
49:45And since then, there's only been one woman
49:49Only one
49:50Lauren
49:51The problem is, you think you're not good enough
49:55But it's not true
49:56Sutter, what dad did
49:58Listen, stop
49:59I'm not talking about dad
50:00I'm talking about you
50:01You're a good man
50:03You always have been
50:06I don't need to tell you what mom and dad went through
50:09Listen, hold on, mom
50:11She talks more about the good years than the bad years
50:15With what happened to mom
50:18I promised her
50:20I would never hurt somebody like dad hurt her
50:22And you won't
50:23You won't
50:24You are not dad
50:26Tell me about Lauren
50:30What?
50:31Well, I can't stop thinking about her
50:33If that's what you mean
50:34I, uh
50:36I, I just want to be with her
50:40All the time
50:44I mean, seeing, seeing that girl accomplish something
50:47It's something to behold
50:49She gets this smile on her face
50:51You know, it's
50:52Sutter
50:55I can't stop thinking about her
50:58Well, there she is
50:59Teaching a bunch of third graders
51:01And there's a man on his way
51:03To maybe take her away from me forever
51:05Do you really love her?
51:07With all my heart
51:08Yeah
51:09Then don't let dad's behavior
51:11Stop you
51:12From maybe being with her forever
51:15Can I show you something?
51:18I'll put it up
51:19I made that
51:19You made this?
51:21Why are you surprised?
51:22It's what I do
51:23Wow
51:23Think she'll like it?
51:25Yeah
51:25Think it'll fit?
51:31You don't know if you don't try
51:32You're right
51:34How's my Lauren?
51:42Dane, what are you doing here?
51:43I came to apologize
51:44I want to make this work
51:46Me and you
51:47Dane, we talked about this
51:50You were right
51:51I should have listened to you
51:53I should never have sent those guys to build your house for you
51:56Or sent you that furniture or that Italian marble tile
51:59It's just my way of taking care of you
52:01It's just my way of taking care of you
52:01And yet you took this long to get here
52:03You chose your job, Dane
52:07Look, look, I'm here now
52:09I don't want to make this work
52:11I am listening
52:13But it's so much more than that
52:15You know
52:18After the storm hit
