00:08:59CastingWords
00:09:17I'm extremely happy.
00:09:39I can't even begin to tell you how I feel.
00:09:41I mean, my family and I are closer than ever,
00:09:45and I'm just so relieved to not be with him anymore.
00:09:51That's awesome.
00:09:53I'm glad to hear it.
00:09:54It was over eight months ago.
00:09:56Why do you ask?
00:09:58Ah, no reason, just curious, that's all.
00:10:15My beautiful Elizabeth.
00:10:25To be honest, I think she is and was out of my league.
00:10:29I look at her, and I see an angel walking amongst mortals,
00:10:43gracing the world with her light.
00:10:45What I see next is cheesy, yes.
00:11:00But with every fiber of my soul,
00:11:03I meant every single word.
00:11:07Cut me some slack.
00:11:10She's the only woman I had any interest in
00:11:12in almost six years.
00:11:15I have a question for you.
00:11:20You don't have to tell me you have a question.
00:11:22Just ask.
00:11:23I'm an open book.
00:11:26So I don't mess up.
00:11:28I wrote down what I wanted to say.
00:11:36Whenever you're ready.
00:11:39Okay.
00:11:40Okay.
00:11:45My bounty is as boundless as the sea.
00:11:50My love as deep.
00:11:55The more I give to thee,
00:11:57the more I have.
00:12:00For both are infinite.
00:12:02I am not a man who loves easily.
00:12:12But I care for you deeply.
00:12:15I want the chance to pursue you and learn more about you.
00:12:19Elizabeth,
00:12:20I'm not a perfect guy.
00:12:23Even when I try my hardest,
00:12:28I...
00:12:29I may let you down and fail you.
00:12:36Wherever you go,
00:12:38wherever your future may take you,
00:12:40I...
00:12:41I...
00:12:41I want to go with you.
00:12:45Will you let me?
00:12:58I'm sorry.
00:12:59Did I say something to offend you?
00:13:01I...
00:13:04Yes.
00:13:08I'm so sorry.
00:13:09Forget I said anything.
00:13:11No, no, no, no, no.
00:13:12What I meant was...
00:13:13Yes.
00:13:17I want to be with you.
00:13:20Oh.
00:13:21Just shut up.
00:13:43Charles, can I get your thoughts on something?
00:13:53Sure.
00:13:54What is it?
00:13:55I bought something.
00:13:56I want your opinion on it if it's right.
00:13:57No way.
00:14:04You're going to...
00:14:05Shh.
00:14:05You can't tell Elizabeth.
00:14:07I won't.
00:14:09When is this going to happen?
00:14:10I don't know, man.
00:14:11Just...
00:14:12Soon.
00:14:13I just can't picture my life without her in it.
00:14:16That's awesome, man.
00:14:18I'm really happy for you.
00:14:20Yes.
00:14:21We'll talk more about this later.
00:14:22Okay.
00:14:22Ready?
00:14:29Huh?
00:14:30You ready to order?
00:14:32Oh.
00:14:32Right.
00:14:33Yeah.
00:14:34So, Chloe and I have an announcement today.
00:14:36What?
00:14:38Obviously, I'm the last to know, so spill.
00:14:42We're moving out.
00:14:43We're not just moving out.
00:14:45We're going backpacking around Europe.
00:14:47Wow.
00:14:48That's amazing.
00:14:50Where are you guys going again?
00:14:51We're going to start in London.
00:14:52Then we're going to Venice, Italy.
00:14:54And ending up in Amsterdam.
00:14:56When are you leaving?
00:14:57Around December-ish.
00:14:58So, we still have a few more months with you guys before we leave?
00:15:01Make it sound like that's a bad thing.
00:15:03You know what I mean.
00:15:05And?
00:15:06And?
00:15:07When we get back, we're moving to our own places.
00:15:10Meaning?
00:15:10We have the apartment to our selves, babe.
00:15:22Well, it's about time you two go together.
00:15:25Oh, we're happy for you two.
00:15:27Hey.
00:15:27So good to see you.
00:15:29Good to see you.
00:15:30I'm going to finish up in the kitchen.
00:15:31I'll be with you in bed.
00:15:32Okay.
00:15:33Hi.
00:15:34Oh, great.
00:15:35Thanks.
00:15:36Charles!
00:15:37I am so happy for you and my little sister.
00:15:41Just don't ever hurt her.
00:15:46Otherwise, I will kill you.
00:15:49Enough!
00:15:50Leave him alone.
00:15:51We will be outside until dinner is ready.
00:15:53Hey.
00:16:10I'm sorry my family gets a little weird about us.
00:16:16They're pretty protective of me.
00:16:19Your family is an important part of your life.
00:16:23It's a good thing.
00:16:29What for?
00:16:32For making me feel special.
00:16:35I can't make you feel something that isn't true.
00:16:42Hey!
00:16:43Lovebirds.
00:16:44Dinner.
00:16:45Dinner.
00:16:45I hope you like lasagna.
00:16:58It's my favorite.
00:17:00So tell me, Charles, what line of work are you in?
00:17:02I work at a local IT shop in town.
00:17:05You know, nothing fancy, just a small mom-and-pop place.
00:17:09But it pays the bills as I go to junior college.
00:17:12Off Sullivan Boulevard, near the school campus.
00:17:15Yeah, I saw it.
00:17:16Oh, okay.
00:17:16What's your major?
00:17:18History and applied computer science.
00:17:21Does that have good career opportunities?
00:17:23Steady jobs that can provide for a family?
00:17:27Enough already.
00:17:29Charles is responsible.
00:17:31Can we just have dinner instead of a trial?
00:17:33You know your father, Lizzie.
00:17:35Comes home from court and everything has to be just so.
00:17:38Guilty, Your Honor.
00:17:39He's just being dead.
00:17:41New guy's got to be vetted.
00:17:43I mean, he doesn't even have his shotgun out in plain sight.
00:17:48Don't worry.
00:17:49I hope I'm not bad enough to need that.
00:17:55It's my pleasure.
00:17:57Thank you for having me.
00:18:00Hey, Charles.
00:18:01We know that you and Elizabeth just started this relationship.
00:18:06And her mother and I are thrilled for the both of you.
00:18:10But?
00:18:11But, uh, it's important to Cassandra and I that Elizabeth's grades not suffer.
00:18:19With her last boyfriend, they suffered.
00:18:21We just don't want her to get hurt.
00:18:24She has a bright future.
00:18:27We will not allow anyone to get in the way of that.
00:18:31Her grades can't drop.
00:18:33That being said, we like you.
00:18:36And we know you're not Jeremiah.
00:18:38Just understand that we love our daughter deeply.
00:18:42And we want you to cherish that too.
00:18:44Please believe that I only want the best for Elizabeth.
00:18:51Well, if we can agree on that, it's all good.
00:18:54Okay.
00:18:55Thanks.
00:18:56Have a good night.
00:18:56You too.
00:18:57Thanks for coming.
00:18:58Yeah.
00:19:14Can I come in?
00:19:33You look absolutely beautiful.
00:19:37Thanks.
00:19:41I'm not sure I should let him take you from me.
00:19:44You know I'll always be around.
00:19:48What's wrong?
00:19:51I know that face.
00:19:53Nothing.
00:19:57Do you really want to go through with this?
00:20:00Are you sure?
00:20:01Yes.
00:20:02I know Charles isn't perfect, but how he treats me is exactly the sort of man I want in my life.
00:20:11Promise.
00:20:14Well, we better get you going.
00:20:33We don't want to be late to your own wedding.
00:20:36You'd like that, wouldn't you?
00:20:37Huh?
00:20:40Maybe.
00:20:45The car's ready where you are.
00:20:48Would you still look like you need a minute?
00:20:49I don't think I can tie this knot.
00:20:51Calm down.
00:20:52I got you.
00:20:52I got you.
00:20:56Hey, relax.
00:20:58It's your day.
00:20:59All right?
00:20:59Yeah.
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:01Yeah.
00:21:01So good.
00:21:02Whew.
00:21:06And that's one.
00:21:08That's one.
00:21:09That's one.
00:21:10Oh, that's one.
00:21:12Oh, that's one.
00:21:13Oh, that's one.
00:21:14Here we go.
00:21:18Whew.
00:21:19And, uh, I want to let you know, man, I'm proud of you.
00:21:37Hey, uh, we really need to get going, man.
00:21:38You're going to be late.
00:21:40Come on.
00:21:40Yeah.
00:21:42Yeah.
00:21:42Yeah.
00:21:42Yeah.
00:21:42Yeah.
00:21:43Yeah.
00:22:13Yeah.
00:22:34We gather here today to bring together Charles and Elizabeth.
00:22:39We are here as family and friends to honor and be a part of Charles and Elizabeth's lives.
00:22:49Elizabeth.
00:23:02Charles.
00:23:04I'm not sure I can find the words to describe how much you mean to me.
00:23:08But I figure some corny cliche line is a good start because we all know you're a sucker for those.
00:23:17Roses are red, violets are blue, just as Romeo feels for Juliet, there's no one I'd want to spend the rest of my life with other than you.
00:23:27Now, as I look into your eyes, the eyes I continue to fall deeper and deeper into each day.
00:23:39Nothing brings me more peace and happiness to know that I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend, my number one, my family.
00:23:56My family.
00:24:01Charles?
00:24:09Elizabeth.
00:24:09Elizabeth, I vow to passionately love you with every ounce of my being.
00:24:15I can't promise I'll never let you down, but I can promise that I will always be there to hold you when you need to be held, to kiss you when you need to be kissed.
00:24:32And I feel in the deepest part of my heart that our love will last a lifetime.
00:24:45No matter what hard times or struggles lay ahead, we will be together, hand in hand.
00:24:52I love you.
00:24:55I love you, Elizabeth.
00:24:57Do you have the rings?
00:25:06Do you, Charles, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife for as long as you both shall live?
00:25:15I do.
00:25:16Do you, Elizabeth, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband for as long as you both shall live?
00:25:28I do.
00:25:35Let no man separate what God has brought together.
00:25:38Now, by the powers vested in me, I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Charles McGavin.
00:25:47You may kiss your bride.
00:26:08All that I need is some dirt to ever sing.
00:26:22And I will feed you till the summer blows.
00:26:26I'm sorry.
00:26:46Ugh!
00:26:48Yo, Charles!
00:26:49Man, you finally did it!
00:26:51You finally managed to settle down!
00:26:53Thanks again for being my best man.
00:26:57Hey, hey. You're not doing anything for you.
00:27:01Garrett, come dance with me. Let's give these newlyweds
00:27:05a space to be the cutest couple in the room.
00:27:23This is one of the last happy moments of my life.
00:27:47You know, we haven't had a moment to ourselves since the beginning of this.
00:27:51Yeah, it's nice.
00:27:55Oh, is it? Just nice?
00:27:57You know what I mean.
00:28:03Hey, how about we ditch this party?
00:28:11Really?
00:28:13I mean, won't everyone mind though?
00:28:15It's our wedding. We can leave if we want to.
00:28:19Plus, the open bar will keep them distracted.
00:28:23That's true.
00:28:27Come on.
00:28:29I love you.
00:28:39I know.
00:28:43I love you.
00:28:45I love you.
00:28:47I know.
00:28:49I don't know.
00:28:51I love you.
00:29:01I love you.
00:29:03I love you, Соколий.
00:29:05Oh, this is really dope.
00:29:07You want to hate us at this?
00:29:09You can just read off.
00:29:11Hey.
00:29:32Hey.
00:29:34Have I told you how beautiful you look today?
00:29:40Ow! What was that for?
00:29:43You wait to tell me that after I'm in this.
00:29:46You're right. Bad timing.
00:29:50Speaking of timing, what if I told you we are going on a private honeymoon trip to the Caribbean?
00:29:56Ow! That really hurts.
00:29:58You know we don't have enough money to afford a honeymoon?
00:30:00Our parents brought us a weekend stay on a private island.
00:30:04Should I have said no?
00:30:06Ow!
00:30:07You're still messing with me?
00:30:08No jokes. I promise.
00:30:10We are going to the Caribbean.
00:30:13And we leave in 30 minutes.
00:30:16You're serious?
00:30:18Oh my god.
00:30:20Wait. 30 minutes?
00:30:23I've already packed us both.
00:30:2530 minutes? You know that's not enough time for me to get myself together.
00:30:29Exactly. Travel day.
00:30:31Ugh!
00:30:33Ugh!
00:30:34I can't get myself.
00:30:36I can't...
00:30:37Sorry!
00:30:38No.
00:30:39I can't...
00:30:40You don't have to do anything like that.
00:30:41I can't get myself.
00:30:42We're all working at the Caribbean.
00:30:43There are cars we off.
00:30:44I don't have to do anything.
00:30:45I do not have to do anything like that.
00:30:46You know I think it's like a man.
00:30:47Let me know it's fine.
00:30:48When I get to the Caribbean and the Caribbean,
00:30:49I think that's what I do.
00:30:51No.
00:30:52Oh, my God.
00:31:22I can't wait to bring our kids here someday.
00:31:36Yeah, me too.
00:31:46Babe?
00:31:47Hmm?
00:31:50About bringing our kids here someday.
00:31:52You know I want to finish school first, work on my career, travel the world.
00:32:02I just want to make sure I have time to spend my life with the man I love.
00:32:09Look, I guess I only mentioned kids because that's where I imagined our future going.
00:32:14That's not right now, but in the future, someday.
00:32:24You are going to be a great mom.
00:32:30And you will be a great dad.
00:32:32Just not right now, okay?
00:32:39Of course.
00:32:40There's no rush.
00:32:43Okay, good.
00:32:43I got the job.
00:33:07Oh, that's amazing.
00:33:09Tell me about it.
00:33:10Oh, you want some tea?
00:33:11Sure.
00:33:12The company is great.
00:33:14So interesting.
00:33:16There's just one small thing.
00:33:20The starting pay is less than expected.
00:33:23How much less?
00:33:26Only a few thousand.
00:33:27We'll have to stay in more often.
00:33:28And maybe you can afford to let go of your $5 lattes.
00:33:34Only for the first six months.
00:33:37Then they'll give me a raise.
00:33:39We will be okay.
00:33:40I can start making some changes to the grocery budget.
00:33:44And a couple of other things to cut down on spending.
00:33:47Hands off my lattes, though.
00:33:53Mm-hmm.

00:34:57I don't know.
00:35:27I don't know.
00:35:57I don't know.
00:35:59Cutting back isn't enough?
00:36:15I don't know.
00:36:17When my race comes in, it'll help us get back on our feet.
00:36:22When is that?
00:36:24You said it was going to be after the first six months.
00:36:28I don't know.
00:36:29I don't know.
00:36:30I'll go to work tomorrow and see what the whole book is.
00:36:35I'll go to work tomorrow and see what the whole book is.
00:36:42It's going to be okay.
00:36:48All set, babe?
00:36:53Uh, yeah.
00:36:54Just a few last minute additions.
00:36:56They've only been gone for a few months.
00:36:58Still.
00:36:59I don't know.
00:37:00Oh, I've got to go change.
00:37:06I have to go.
00:37:07Okay.
00:37:12Hey, good boy.
00:37:13Hey, Paul.
00:37:14Welcome back.
00:37:15Hey, how's it going?
00:37:26Welcome back.
00:37:27Hi.
00:37:28Hi.
00:37:29It is so good to be back.
00:37:32Yeah, I cannot wait to tell you everything.
00:37:34Hi.
00:37:35Hi.
00:37:36Welcome home.
00:37:38Hey.
00:37:39It's ready to eat.
00:37:41Yeah.
00:37:42And that's why Chloe handed me the money.
00:37:45Let's hope to run for the entrance.
00:37:47That's so cool.
00:37:48Remind me never to screw up your order in Naples.
00:37:51You guys done?
00:37:53Yeah.
00:37:54Damn.
00:37:55He proposed under a moonlit sky and the channels of Venice and a gondola.
00:38:01What a picture of loveliness.
00:38:03Well, congratulations, Dan.
00:38:05I'm happy you finally got around to it.
00:38:08Finally?
00:38:09He knew?
00:38:11Maybe.
00:38:12And you didn't tell me?
00:38:14I asked them not to.
00:38:15Uh-huh.
00:38:16Oh, looks like my parents can't have us over tomorrow morning.
00:38:21Something came up.
00:38:23Oh.
00:38:24Okay.
00:38:25So, when's the wedding?
00:38:28Spring might be nice.
00:38:41I'll turn out them for a while.
00:38:58Ooh.
00:38:59Ooh.
00:39:00Ooh.
00:39:01Ooh.
00:39:02Ooh.
00:39:03Ooh.
00:39:04Ooh.
00:39:05Ooh.
00:39:06Ooh.
00:39:08Ooh.
00:39:09I don't know.
00:39:39Hey Liz, about time you two showed up.
00:39:50Kirk, it's so good to see you.
00:39:52How was your trip with Holly?
00:39:53Oh, it was great.
00:39:54She liked the hiking, not the camping part, I think.
00:39:56Surprising.
00:39:57Hey man, need a hand with anything?
00:39:59Hey, uh, yeah, if you can grab something, that'd be great.
00:40:02Sure.
00:40:03Hey.
00:40:04I'm so glad you guys could make it.
00:40:08Hey.
00:40:09Aw.
00:40:10Smooth ride?
00:40:11Yeah, it was good.
00:40:12No problems at all.
00:40:13Good, good.
00:40:14Hey.
00:40:15Great.
00:40:16Why don't you guys take a few minutes and settle in?
00:40:19Yeah.
00:40:20This one's yours.
00:40:21Oh, thanks.
00:40:22What's up, this one's yours.
00:40:25Oh, I'm sorry.
00:40:26I'm sorry.
00:40:27I'm sorry.
00:40:28I don't know.
00:40:29I'm sorry.
00:40:30I'm sorry.
00:40:31I'm sorry.
00:40:32I'm sorry.
00:40:33I'm sorry.
00:40:34I'm sorry.
00:40:35They're great. Although, I think Chloe has some concerns over.
00:40:54Oh?
00:40:55Great cast!
00:40:56Garrett is obsessed with re-enlisting.
00:40:58Well, he wants to finish his degree before they get married, so I don't think it's likely
00:41:03that he will re-enlist.
00:41:04I thought he said she might have to have a baby to keep him home.
00:41:07Oh, come on. I mean, would she have to do something that drastic?
00:41:10Baby's a lot of responsibility.
00:41:12Yeah.
00:41:13Especially for a young couple.
00:41:14I kind of think that's the point she's going for.
00:41:17Oh, hey. How was your trip? Where'd you go to this time, huh?
00:41:20It was incredible. Went to Cairo, saw the pyramids. Absolutely breathtaking.
00:41:25Didn't you go there last year?
00:41:27No, that was Madrid.
00:41:28Oh, yeah, that's right. We've been traveling so much, it's hard to keep track.
00:41:31Kirk, I'm surprised you didn't bring Holly.
00:41:33I know. I would have loved to have met this girl.
00:41:35Unfortunately, she went on a work retreat this weekend and couldn't make it.
00:41:38Well, next time, son.
00:41:41Next time.
00:41:44So, Lizzie, how's life treating you?
00:41:47We're good. Just busy.
00:41:50Sorry we haven't been around that much.
00:41:52We miss you. We don't see you as much with school anymore.
00:41:56Yeah.
00:41:57Yeah, I know.
00:41:58Been to any wicked places recently?
00:42:00No, not really.
00:42:02Been working a lot.
00:42:04The new job is keeping me pretty busy and has both of us working full-time just to pay the bills.
00:42:08I got you. Well, hey, man. Next time I'm in the area, let's grab some beers.
00:42:11Oh, for sure.
00:42:13Anyway, Dad, how's work been?
00:42:16What's going on, Ryan?
00:42:18I've got a trial next week to start this.
00:42:20Oh, I got one!
00:42:21No way!
00:42:23At last.
00:42:24Good job. Cheers.
00:42:25Okay, Dad, Dad, it's time.
00:42:28It's time.
00:42:29Time for what?
00:42:30Oh, come on.
00:42:31Oh, come on.
00:42:32You're too old for me to be telling stories.
00:42:34Am I supposed to say I'm too old for this stuff?
00:42:36No, no, no, no.
00:42:37Come on, it's tradition.
00:42:38Any requests?
00:42:42Oh, what about that one you told them a long time ago when they were really little?
00:42:46Which one was that one?
00:42:47I don't remember that one.
00:42:48Yeah, I don't remember.
00:42:57All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
00:42:59Do you remember it?
00:43:00Okay.
00:43:02All right, everybody?
00:43:03All right.
00:43:04Ready?
00:43:05It looks like it will be the tale of the single strand.
00:43:09Ooh.
00:43:11Once upon a time, there was a princess and her knight, and she entrusted him with a single strand of her hair.
00:43:35Good morning, man.
00:43:36How'd you sleep?
00:43:37Morning.
00:43:38Yeah, pretty good.
00:43:39Just cold.
00:43:40For sure.
00:43:41How'd you sleep?
00:43:42Slept well?
00:43:43Yes.
00:43:44I was freezing.
00:43:45Hey, man, there's some coffee here if you want to grab some.
00:43:46Oh, yeah, sure.
00:43:47Interesting story last night.
00:43:48I still don't get the ending.
00:43:50That's dad for you.
00:43:51I mean, how can the knight give up the strand of hair?
00:43:53Makes no sense.
00:44:11that's dad for you I mean how can the knight give up the strand of hair makes
00:44:16no sense most of his reasoning is a little out there to be honest

00:51:06I don't know.
00:51:07But Thursday is Thanksgiving.
00:51:08How can I not be with my family?
00:51:10But he's my husband.
00:51:13He's my husband.
00:51:14I'm not even strapped.
00:51:16Okay.
00:51:18I love you.
00:51:22Bye.
00:51:43Hey.
00:51:50What's wrong?
00:51:55I don't know.
00:52:00My dad is upset with both of us.
00:52:16Mom wouldn't go into detail.
00:52:21We can't come to Thanksgiving.
00:52:31What do you mean we can't come to Thanksgiving?
00:52:35That's all she would tell me.
00:52:46Do you want me to call your brother and see who he knows?
00:52:50Would you?
00:52:57Absolutely.
00:53:03Let me talk.
00:53:17Thanks Kirk.
00:53:19No sweat.
00:53:20I'll call you back in a bit.
00:53:30What do you say?
00:53:32You said you'll call.
00:53:33What's wrong?
00:53:45I'm sorry.
00:53:46I haven't been feeling well in this whole situation with my family.
00:53:58He hasn't been helping.
00:53:59Do you think you're coming down with something?
00:54:11No.
00:54:12It's probably just a bad case of food poisoning.
00:54:13That sucks.
00:54:14I think that's your brother.
00:54:26Hey, Elizabeth is here with me.
00:54:28What's going on?
00:54:29According to mom, dad is not only upset, but livid.
00:54:35She's never seen him this past.
00:54:38Whatever happens, she won't tell me.
00:54:42From experience, let him cool off.
00:54:46I'll make sure mom expects you for Thanksgiving.
00:54:49Okay.
00:54:51Thanks Kirk.
00:54:52Of course.
00:54:53You want to be okay?
00:55:10I don't know.
00:55:11I'm ready.
00:55:31Are you sure?
00:55:32Maybe we should go to the doctors.
00:55:33No, I...
00:55:34I need to go be with my family.
00:55:38And face my dad.
00:55:41God, I'm sorry I got you into this.
00:56:06I signed up for this.
00:56:07Remember?
00:56:08I signed up for this.
00:56:09Remember?
00:56:36I'll get you back.
00:56:40Thanks.
00:56:41I got you up for this.
00:56:42Yeah.
00:56:43And make meếm, sorry.
00:56:44I can't see you.
00:56:45Even if you just walk alone.
00:56:46You're very good.
00:56:47Not all.
00:56:48I need you.
00:56:49You're very good.
00:56:50But you're pretty good.
00:56:51I need you.
00:56:52I need you.
00:56:53You're very good.
00:56:54Yeah, I need you to go.
00:56:55So you're very good.
00:56:56If you're very good, I'm sorry.
00:56:58Then do you want to walk alone?
00:56:59Did you go?
00:57:01You're pretty good.
00:57:02You're too bad.
00:57:04You're too bad.
00:57:05Charles, I don't want you around my family anymore.
00:57:28This is Thanksgiving.
00:57:30Can't we just be a family on this day?
00:57:32You have brought nothing but chaos into our family.
00:57:36Elizabeth is no longer going to school.
00:57:38She is lying to us and she's never done that before.
00:57:45Say your goodbyes and leave.
00:57:52I want you to leave now.
00:58:00Let's go.
00:58:01She's not going with you.
00:58:04Elizabeth, you're staying.
00:58:05Honey, we'll do whatever is best for you.
00:58:08Dad, can we just calm down?
00:58:11Calm down.
00:58:21Get out!
00:58:22You are her father.
00:58:32I am her husband.
00:58:35And she is my wife.
00:58:37Elizabeth.
00:58:38She is my wife.
00:58:41Elizabeth.
00:58:42I'm pregnant.
00:58:43I'm pregnant.
00:58:44I'm pregnant.
00:58:48I'm pregnant.
00:59:18Elizabeth, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm going to be your father.
00:59:30Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:32I told my mom when I found out last week.
00:59:35Is this why they stopped having us over?
00:59:38I was waiting until I figured out if it would work out.
00:59:44What do you mean?
00:59:46A house would work out.
00:59:48Why wouldn't it?
00:59:49I didn't know.
00:59:50Know what?
00:59:52If I could handle the responsibility of a kid.
00:59:56Why wouldn't you?
00:59:58Hey, we would be great parents.
01:00:14If you will.
01:00:22If it just...
01:00:24Not right now.
01:00:25I need to finish school, work on my career, travel the world.
01:00:32Spend my life with a man I love.
01:00:39But now all the plans have to change.
01:00:42Hey.
01:00:44A baby is a good thing.
01:00:47School was your parents' plan for you.
01:00:50We can't have our own family.
01:00:52I'm not sure I want to have my own family.
01:00:54I don't want to lose the family I have.
01:00:57You hurt your father.
01:01:00He blames me.
01:01:02He doesn't accept me.
01:01:04And he's acting like you're a possession, but you're not.
01:01:06You're my wife.
01:01:07But he is my father!
01:01:11They are my parents.
01:01:22I need time.
01:01:26Okay.
01:01:28Hey, you can have all the time you need, huh?
01:01:32Please, let's just go home.
01:01:34I need time!
01:01:36I need time.
01:01:41Alone.
01:01:47What are you saying?
01:01:50My family thinks I am better off here where I can...
01:01:53think clearly and not be pressured into making a decision.
01:01:57Charles.
01:02:00Talk to me.
01:02:01Tell me what you're thinking!
01:02:02Like you did with me, huh?
01:02:03About our child.
01:02:07Thinking about getting rid of it.
01:02:12Without even asking if I wanted to be a father.
01:02:14Exactly.
01:02:15Why your parents want to separate us!
01:02:23They're trying to run your life and you're letting them rip us apart!
01:02:28What do you want me to do?
01:02:29What do you want me to do?
01:02:38Did you become my family?
01:02:45Were you?
01:02:46I thought I became your family?
01:02:47I thought I became your family.
01:02:49I thought I became your family.
01:02:54And we said I do.
01:02:55What do you want me to do?
01:02:56Either our marriage means enough to you to step up or not.
01:03:10I only want what's best for you and our child.
01:03:12You want space?
01:03:28You got it!
01:03:42I love you.
01:04:00I'm sorry.
01:04:12I'm sorry.
01:04:39So.
01:04:40You said you had news.
01:04:42Cassandra called me two days ago.
01:04:46She said she won't be coming back to me, man.
01:04:50Sorry, man.
01:04:51I've been busy.
01:04:52Yeah.
01:04:53I get you've been busy.
01:04:54We've all been busy, man.
01:04:58So does that mean...
01:05:00Divorce?
01:05:03I don't know.
01:05:05I still haven't heard from Elizabeth.
01:05:06I still haven't even heard about the baby.
01:05:08You should prepare for the worst.
01:05:09Well, that's reassuring.
01:05:10You're supposed to be my friend.
01:05:11You just want me to assume that my pregnant wife is divorcing me and that I'll never see my child.
01:05:15You know her parents won't let her leave.
01:05:18And they're taking every precaution with this child.
01:05:20So there is a child.
01:05:22I don't know, man.
01:05:23What do you mean you don't know?
01:05:24It's been months, man.
01:05:26It's time to move on.
01:05:28Onto what?
01:05:29You got plenty going for yourself.
01:05:31This is the chance to start over.
01:05:32Start over?
01:05:35I don't want to start over.
01:05:36I want my wife and child.
01:05:40I'm sorry I can't help you more.
01:05:43You haven't helped at all.
01:05:47It's hard to be here for you.
01:05:49Well, Chloe's been there for Elizabeth.
01:05:52I'm sorry.
01:05:53Chloe asked me to stop hanging out with you.
01:05:59And you're just okay with her telling you what to do.
01:06:01I just don't want to end up like you two.
01:06:06I just don't want to upset the balance.
01:06:09You get that, right?
01:06:12Yeah.
01:06:14I get it.
01:06:20I hope we can meet up after all this settles down.
01:06:26I'm sorry, Charles.
01:06:43Taylor has been lost.
01:06:44Thank you very much.
01:06:46I'm sorry.
01:06:47I don't know.
01:07:17I don't know.
01:07:47I don't know.
01:07:49I don't know.
01:07:53Having trouble with the door, Charles?
01:08:09No.
01:08:11I hope everything is okay.
01:08:17What did I do wrong?
01:08:25What did I do wrong?
01:08:37What did I do wrong?
01:08:39I don't know.
01:08:41I don't know.
01:08:51Hello?
01:08:53Hi, Emma.
01:08:55Hey, old friend.
01:08:57What's up?
01:09:03Life is rough.
01:09:09We're separated.
01:09:11What happened?
01:09:13My parents hate me.
01:09:19She just can't live with them.
01:09:21She's pregnant.
01:09:25At least she was three months ago.
01:09:27I feel so lost.
01:09:29I don't know what to do.
01:09:31I feel so lost.
01:09:33I don't know what to do.
01:09:35I don't know what to do.
01:09:37I'm sorry, Charles.
01:09:39Hey, uh...
01:09:41Now is not a good time for me.
01:09:43Can I call you back in a day or two?
01:09:45I'm just, I'm swamped here at work.
01:09:47Yes, yeah.
01:09:49Of course.
01:09:51Later, okay?
01:09:53I am a party.
01:09:55I'm sorry, Charles.
01:09:57I don't know what to do.
01:09:59I'm sorry, Charles.
01:10:01Hey, uh...
01:10:03Now is not a good time for me.
01:10:05Can I call you back in a day or two?
01:10:07I'm just, I'm swamped here at work.
01:10:09Yes, yeah.
01:10:11Of course.
01:10:13Later, okay?
01:10:14I hope you feel better.
01:10:36I keep asking myself what I could have done differently.
01:10:40Elizabeth, I never should have asked you to choose between us.
01:10:44Elizabeth, I never should have asked you to choose between us.
01:10:54It's my fault.
01:10:56It's my fault.
01:10:58It's my fault.
01:11:00It's my fault.
01:11:02It's my fault.
01:11:04It's my fault.
01:11:06It's my fault.
01:11:08It's my fault.
01:11:10It's my fault.
01:11:11It's my fault.
01:11:12It's my fault.
01:11:13It's my fault.
01:11:14It's my fault.
01:11:15It's my fault.
01:11:16It's my fault.
01:11:17It's my fault.
01:11:18It's my fault.
01:11:19It's my fault.
01:11:20It's my fault.
01:11:21It's my fault.
01:11:22It's my fault.
01:11:23It's my fault.
01:11:24It's my fault.
01:11:25It's my fault.
01:11:26It's my fault.
01:11:27It's my fault.
01:11:28It's my fault.
01:11:29I was selfish.
01:11:37I know that now.
01:11:59I just don't know how to live without you.
01:12:22You texted me.
01:12:25Texted me.
01:12:28How could you just text me, Elizabeth?
01:12:36Why couldn't you call?
01:12:40The text is such a cop-out.
01:12:47If you really loved me, you would have called.
01:12:51Or better yet, you would have shown up.
01:12:57You would have chosen us.
01:13:08You would have chosen me.
01:13:12This recording is my last letter to you.
01:13:24I'm tired of always giving.
01:13:25Everyone takes me for granted.
01:13:38I'm tired of always giving.
01:13:45Everyone takes me for granted.
01:13:46I'm alone.
01:13:47I'm alone.
01:13:59Everybody takes me for the text.
01:14:00I'm alone.
01:14:01You'll have a vowel read.
01:14:02And now I'm blank.
01:14:03It should want to help you.
01:14:04notebook.
01:14:05Uh, easy phone cans...
01:14:06Elizabeth, my love, I have to break my promise to you.
01:14:36Because I can't stand the pain anymore.
01:14:46I've tried to forget you.
01:14:49I've tried to drive away and put it behind me and never come home.
01:15:03I'm so sorry.
01:15:20Why aren't these pills working?
01:15:29I'm so sorry.
01:15:36I'm so sorry.
01:15:41I'm so sorry.
01:15:48I'm so sorry.
01:15:50I'm so sorry.
01:15:57I'm so sorry.
01:15:59I'm so sorry.
01:16:06I'm so sorry.
01:16:13I'm so sorry.
01:16:15I'm so sorry.
01:16:22I'm so sorry.
01:16:37No.
01:16:53No.
01:17:00This is it.
01:17:07There's no going back, till we write the final chapters of our story.
01:17:36Do we have any control?
01:17:55Whatsoever.
01:18:06It's not your fault, it's never your fault.
01:18:31It's not your fault, it's never your fault.
01:18:43This is my last chapter.
01:19:02This is my final vow.
01:19:29I'm forever alone.
01:19:41I love you.
01:20:00I love you.
01:20:19I'm so sorry.
01:20:24Goodbye.
01:20:26Charles, don't do it!
01:20:28You don't get to interfere with how I choose to end my life.
01:20:31Just walk me through it.
01:20:33Tell me why your life means so very little.
01:20:36My wife left me.
01:20:38She doesn't even know if she wants our child.
01:20:41Her family hates me.
01:20:43My family doesn't understand me.
01:20:45My friends left me.
01:20:47I have no one who cares.
01:20:51That's not true.
01:20:52Just leave me alone.
01:20:54You don't need to see this.
01:20:55I'm sorry.
01:20:56I can't let you do that.
01:20:58No man gets left behind.
01:21:01What?
01:21:02I can't leave you.
01:21:05There are people who care.
01:21:07Don't let your grief blind you.
01:21:09Make you think your life is not worth more than a three dollar bullet.
01:21:13Let go!
01:21:14No!
01:21:15Let me stop hurting everyone I love!
01:21:18You're not hurting anyone other than yourself!
01:21:20Let me end my pain!
01:21:21Let go!
01:21:24Oh God.
01:21:29Oh God.
01:21:33What have I done?
01:21:34Charles, you are not alone.
01:21:41You're welcome.
01:21:44Why?
01:21:45Why what?
01:21:47Why?
01:21:48Why do you care so much about me?
01:21:50You don't even know me.
01:21:51Just because I don't know you doesn't mean you're not worth saving.
01:21:55Your life is precious.
01:21:58So don't waste it.
01:22:02I...
01:22:04I'm sorry.

01:29:02If you could only be someone to somebody
01:29:09If you could only be someone to somebody
01:29:16If you could step outside your house of mirrors

01:29:39But who can only be someone to somebody
