00:00Hey, Victoria.
00:02Sorry to just drop in like this.
00:04No, it's fine. Come in.
00:06I'm not sure if you heard or if Adam told you.
00:10Heard what?
00:11He's gone to Nice.
00:13To get word to your family about what he's discovered about Aristotle Dumas.
00:17Oh, no, I hadn't heard.
00:19But that's a good thing. I mean, that's a smart move.
00:23Yeah, yeah, I mean, he left pretty abruptly, but I promised him I'd check in on you, so...
00:28How are you?
00:30How's Cole? Any good news?
00:34He's gone.
00:37What?
00:39Cole.
00:41He didn't make it.
00:45He's dead.
00:49Oh, Victoria.
00:58Lily.
01:17Damien.
01:19Did I wake you?
01:23No.
01:23You are so beautiful.
01:30I hope I haven't...
01:33Let's spread things.
01:35Let's understand signals.
01:37No, you haven't.
01:40It's been me. I just...
01:42I haven't been honest with myself about what I want.
01:46You must have.
01:47This.
01:51I want this.
01:53No more second guessing.
01:55No more wasted time.
01:57I'll feel the same way.
01:58I...
01:58I...
01:59I...
02:00Bye.
02:01Bye.
02:04Bye.
02:25Bye.
02:25Bye.
02:27Bye.
02:27Bye.
02:58There she is, the lady of the hour.
03:17Oh, just of this hour?
03:19Uh, I would say every hour of every day.
03:22I didn't realize you arrived.
03:24Yeah, just now.
03:25I was, um, taking in the ambiance.
03:31Yes, well, so am I.
03:35So, what do you think?
03:36Do you like?
03:37Yeah, very much.
03:40Do we have this place to ourselves?
03:44For the entire evening.
03:46Really?
03:47Yeah.
03:48Well, I know society is one of your favorite places, so...
03:50And that's the only reason?
03:54No.
03:55Tonight, we're gonna celebrate.
03:58Celebrate what, exactly?
04:00Us.
04:01You and me.
04:02I'm not sure you're aware, but you and I, I mean, we have a lot of incredible memories together.
04:11Yeah.
04:11I seem to recall a few.
04:16And if I may be so bold, I think tonight's gonna go down as the very best.
04:22I'm not sure you're aware of this.
04:52Are we really the only two here?
05:05No waiters or kitchen staff?
05:08No.
05:08Just you and me, baby.
05:09And what about this chef?
05:13Because I think I maybe saw you for a second with an apron on it.
05:17I don't know.
05:18Do I smell that amazing pasta sauce?
05:21I cannot confirm or deny.
05:24And what happens in the kitchen stays in the kitchen, right?
05:28But let's not talk about food right now.
05:31That's later.
05:32We're not there yet.
05:33Um, what part are we at?
05:38Well, we're at the part where I hold you in my arms.
05:45My God, you look breathtaking.
05:47You know, you remind me of someone.
05:53Who?
05:55This teenage girl I've fell in love with a long, long time ago.
06:00Cricket player you have not aged today.
06:04You are such a sweet talker.
06:06I only speak the truth.
06:12Okay, so what is all this?
06:15I mean, are these things for me to try or...
06:18Curious, are we?
06:20Yeah, I mean, this is a little mysterious.
06:24We'll get to this, you know, soon enough.
06:27All right?
06:27Don't jump ahead.
06:28Okay.
06:29First, drinks.
06:32Okay?
06:36Oh, look at you, the bartender, too.
06:39Yes, I am multifaceted.
06:43Oh, yes, I do know that about you.
06:45Talented rock star for my show.
06:48Yeah, let's not talk about me.
06:50Let's talk about us.
06:53A toast.
06:56To our connection.
06:57To the past.
07:00And the future.
07:04I knew Cole was sick.
07:10I didn't realize how bad things were.
07:14I don't know if I realized it either.
07:17Maybe I just didn't want to see it.
07:20I mean, I just...
07:22I feel completely blindsided.
07:27Cole and I, we found each other again after all this time.
07:32And we found our baby.
07:33We got our baby back.
07:36We were finally going to be a real family.
07:39And now he's gone.
07:43He's gone and...
07:46I'm sorry.
07:47No, I'm sorry.
07:48Don't apologize.
07:49If you want to talk or...
07:52Or not talk, I'm here for you.
07:54Whatever you need.
07:55I don't know what I need right now.
07:56Where are the kids?
08:04Is anybody home?
08:06Claire and Johnny and Katie went to go see a movie.
08:08I think they needed a distraction.
08:12Maybe you should take advantage of the empty house.
08:17Let some of the pain out.
08:18What?
08:24I thought this was the way.
08:28I thought I had this figured out.
08:31Oh, my God.
08:33Oh, my God.
08:34How did I get turned around?
08:35Finally, something familiar.
08:59Okay.
09:02You're okay, Lily.
09:03Everything's fine.
09:04You were fine.
09:08Okay.
09:09Lily.
09:10Everything you see.
09:11Hey.
09:11Hey.
09:12Are you okay?
09:13Yeah.
09:16I feel better now.
09:18Okay.
09:25Buon appetito.
09:27You made the sauce.
09:28I knew it.
09:29Yay.
09:32Absolutely.
09:32A little parmigiano.
09:35Oh.
09:38Ah.
09:39It is so...
09:41It's good?
09:42Mm-hmm.
09:42Okay.
09:44It's so nice to finally have some downtime with you.
09:48You know, we have been...
09:51We've been on tour for so long.
09:56We, um...
09:58You don't really have a home base, so to speak.
10:01You know?
10:02I guess that's true.
10:03Mm-hmm.
10:03So, if we did have one, you know, just hypothetically, where would it be?
10:12Would it be London, Paris, New York, Genova City?
10:15Um...
10:16I don't know.
10:22We've never talked about this before.
10:25Well, why don't we talk about it now?
10:27I mean, to be honest, I...
10:30I don't...
10:32I don't care where we are as...
10:35As long as we're together.
10:38Yeah.
10:39Me too.
10:40I mean, I'm thinking you'd want to be close to Lucy and Daniel between tours.
10:45Sure.
10:46Sure.
10:46I definitely would.
10:47Yeah, I have some strong ties here, personally and professionally.
10:52We should definitely go find a place together.
10:55You know, have our own.
10:58Uh...
10:59Yeah.
11:00I'd love that, yeah.
11:01You would?
11:03Yeah.
11:04Do you think our old apartment's still available?
11:07You know, the one with the freight elevator.
11:09The old apartment.
11:12I'm...
11:12Afraid that place is probably long gone.
11:15And it's probably some shopping complex.
11:19God, I'm so grateful to have you back in my life again.
11:24I feel the same way.
11:27We should take advantage of every moment we have together.
11:30You know, because...
11:32Some people...
11:33They're not fortunate enough to have a second chance at love.
11:40I cried earlier with Claire.
11:42I cried myself to sleep last night.
11:47So I guess that means something, right?
11:51Yeah.
11:52I...
11:52I'm glad you had that release.
11:55It's just, um...
11:57I don't know.
11:57Maybe I'm wrong.
11:58It feels like you're still...
12:00Holding back.
12:02Maybe you feel like you need to be strong for Claire.
12:05She just lost her father.
12:07She hasn't known her family for most of her life.
12:12She adored...
12:15Adored Cole.
12:16It's so awful.
12:18I'm so sorry.
12:20Kyle's away.
12:21My family...
12:23They're away.
12:25She just needs somebody.
12:27She needs somebody that she can be vulnerable with.
12:30Yeah, but why so do you?
12:31You need to be vulnerable, too.
12:32No, no.
12:32I need to be strong.
12:33I can't be continually falling apart in front of her.
12:36I don't think it's healthy to keep things bottled up, either.
12:40I mean...
12:41Somebody needs to be there for you, too.
12:45Cole was that person.
12:49I'm no stranger to loss.
12:53I felt...
12:54Getting through it, I could only do by leaning on people.
12:59So if you think it could help, I'd be honored to be that sounding board for you.
13:06What are you doing out here?
13:09Ah, the jet lag is real.
13:12Can't sleep.
13:13You?
13:15Yeah, same.
13:17I'm sorry if I startled you.
13:19You seem pretty worked up, you know, on edge.
13:21Yeah, I just, um, I had a really weird dream, and it woke me up.
13:28So I came out here to get some fresh air, and then I got lost in this stupid maze.
13:35Hey, hey, now that's my job, okay?
13:39Yeah, I don't know what happened.
13:40And I honestly thought I knew all the paths by now, but I think I'm just tired, you know?
13:47This whole, I'm just tired, you know?
13:50This whole trip has just been exhausting, and I'm just, I'm sick of it.
13:57I'm just sick of the mysteries and the games, and I just want to go home where things are normal.
14:05I couldn't agree more.
14:07Yeah, but supposedly they're making progress on clearing a safe path down the mountain.
14:13Yeah, if we can believe anything that Cain tells us.
14:18So he's changed a lot since you two were together, hasn't he?
14:23I don't know.
14:25I mean, we were really young when we met.
14:28Maybe it's me.
14:29I mean, I've definitely changed.
14:32But back then, you, you were in love with him.
14:38Yeah, I was.
14:39But there were just too many mistakes and lies to count.
14:45Yeah.
14:47But the love was still there.
14:49Yeah.
14:50I mean, I really believe deep down that he loved me and that he was a good man.
14:56And now?
15:00Now I barely recognize him.
15:03Well, maybe he's just, you know, he hasn't recovered from losing you, you know?
15:09No, I'm serious.
15:11The pain of pushing someone like you away, you know, a person who's kind, who's smart, truly good.
15:19I tell you, that would devastate any man.
15:22I'm really outdone yourself tonight.
15:29You ain't seen nothing yet.
15:30Yeah.
15:33When do we get to the part when I get to see what's under these mysterious lids?
15:39That's so impatient.
15:40No, no, I mean, I have a good mystery, but the suspense is killing me.
15:44Okay, okay.
15:46I suppose we can move on to the next phase of the evening.
15:53Underneath each lid is a memento.
15:58Yeah.
15:59Sort of a little journey of everything that we've been through together.
16:05Everything that has brought us to where we are right now.
16:08Well, I'm intrigued.
16:12Yeah.
16:14Why don't you start with this one?
16:18Please.
16:25Do you remember?
16:27The very first time we met.
16:31I can't believe it.
16:33It's really you.
16:34Well, you know, uh, I could say the same thing.
16:38I mean, you're pretty much a very big celebrity in this channel.
16:41But not like you.
16:42Are you kidding?
16:43Those Jabot Junior ads are my favorite.
16:46You mean that?
16:48Of course I mean it.
16:51What do you say we get better acquainted over a soda?
16:56Well, sure, I'd love to.
16:57Come on.
16:59I used to dream about meeting you, Danny.
17:01Sitting down, talking to you this way.
17:05Somehow I thought it would be different.
17:08How'd you think it'd be?
17:11Thought I'd make a total fool out of myself.
17:13Well, believe me, so far, you haven't.
17:16Uh, not yet.
17:17Oh, come on.
17:18You know, it's funny how, uh, different people can be once you get to know them, you know?
17:27Let's take you, for instance.
17:29What's different about me?
17:31For one thing, you act a lot older.
17:33Yeah, I try.
17:34Just how old are you?
17:39Oh, going on 19.
17:43Um, how long will it be before you're going to reach 19?
17:51Well, how old are you?
17:51You even know how to change the subject at the right time.
17:56Incredible.
18:00I haven't thought about that in so long.
18:04Great times, huh?
18:06Yeah.
18:06That makes me even more excited about the thought of you moving here and us living together.
18:12Yeah, me too.
18:19It's one of my favorite memories.
18:22One of many, as you see.
18:27You mean there's more?
18:28Oh.
18:29Where this came from?
18:30Absolutely.
18:32There is so much more.
18:37I don't really know if I should take that as a compliment or not.
18:41You kind of make me sound like I'm someone who just goes around breaking men's hearts.
18:45No, I didn't mean it like that.
18:46Okay?
18:47I meant it in the best possible way.
18:50Lily, I can't imagine having my heart broken by you.
18:52It would wreck me.
18:54You barely know me.
18:56I know enough.
18:57You are bewitching.
19:00You are intoxicating.
19:02You're fiercely loyal.
19:03You protect your family.
19:04You stand up for what you believe in.
19:06And you're even willing to give a person like me a chance.
19:09Well, you've proven yourself.
19:12Yeah, but you had every right to be suspicious of me.
19:15And hey, I can't blame Cain if he wants to pull out all the stops to win you back.
19:21I can understand that.
19:23Well, he can try all he wants, but it's not going to happen.
19:27I mean, what does he think?
19:28That I'm going to swoon because he's done all of this?
19:31Or that because he's some rich mogul, that he can just have a say in what I do in my life?
19:36There you go.
19:38It is your choice.
19:39Okay?
19:40Yeah, he doesn't get to just turn my life upside down.
19:44You know, I'm not going to get into another failed relationship.
19:47I have walked into that dead-end trap too many times.
19:50Yes, I hear that.
19:52And I'm not going to be held prisoner on a trip that I shouldn't have taken in the first place.
19:57I need something new.
20:00And I'm not going to be held back in my life anymore.
20:03I'm not going to be held back in my life anymore.
20:33Very impressive.
20:34It wasn't a performance.
20:37And I told you, last time wasn't either.
20:38I told you that.
20:39Yeah, yeah, but it was also for Kane's benefit.
20:42Well, I wanted to kiss you then, and I wanted to kiss you now.
20:45Okay.
20:46Nope, no complaints here.
20:47Hey, I'm just happy that I finally have proof that you actually like me.
20:52I do like you.
20:53Well, if we were anywhere else, I'd say let's get out of here.
20:58But we're confined to your ex's property, so our options are limited.
21:03Well, not necessarily a bad thing.
21:06Oh, yeah?
21:07Yeah.
21:08I feel more relaxed now, and I think that we should make the most of our situation.
21:13How so?
21:14Well, I'm not going to let Kane or his games waste one more second of my life.
21:19This is just, it's so unfair.
21:31I just don't know how to do this.
21:33I mean, Claire, how do I make this okay for her?
21:37I love him, and he loved me.
21:45I want to hear his voice again.
21:48I want to feel his hand in mine, and I need him here to make sense of this for me.
21:55I need him back.
22:03I can't do this.
22:07I don't want to be alone.
22:10Oh, God, no.
22:12Come on.
22:26A guitar pick.
22:27I remember all the time we spent together at the band Hursals.
22:35And the concerts.
22:37It's when we became best friends.
22:39And before that, I, I was your biggest man.
22:45I still am.
22:47I loved it when you were there.
22:51Except for when you were a distraction.
22:53What does that mean?
22:56Well.
23:00This one particular time, you were a huge distraction.
23:04You thought I was some out-of-rhythm carpenter.
23:10Yes.
23:11We could not figure out who was making all that hammering noise.
23:14I did like a good prank back then.
23:16You did.
23:18You know, I hate to say it.
23:19I think I'm turning into a groupie.
23:22Cricket Blair, a groupie.
23:24How shocking.
23:26Yes, I know, but I'm telling you all the signs are there.
23:29What signs?
23:31You've hammered the walls of our rehearsal hall down?
23:33No, more like this insatiable desire I have to watch you rehearse.
23:40What else do you like to watch?
23:42Your hands when you play the piano.
23:46Anything else?
23:48Your eyes when you hit a high note.
23:53If you don't stop, this, uh, this could get out of hand, you know.
23:57I think you're right.
23:58Lately, I just think that we've been more than friends.
24:05I mean, maybe that's just me.
24:07No.
24:07I...
24:07No, it's not just you.
24:10I remember what I was saying before about being a groupie.
24:16I wasn't kidding.
24:18I like being with you.
24:21I realized then that I felt more for you.
24:24That I wanted more.
24:26You asked me to go on tour with you, but...
24:29I turned you down.
24:31More than once, if I recall.
24:37We've had a lot of stops and starts along the way.
24:40Yeah, but my feelings for you, they were always there.
24:44My devotion to you.
24:46Come on.
24:55Let's continue, shall we?
24:59This one over here, my darling, is, well, a bit of a hodgepodge.
25:06Please.
25:07Okay, well, the etiquette book has to be Nina.
25:14Yeah.
25:16We taught our bestie how to be a true lady.
25:18Yeah.
25:19Yes.
25:20And the flashcards, I used to use them all the time to study.
25:23Mm-hmm.
25:23Yes, for law school.
25:25You used to quiz me, do you remember that?
25:26Oh, yeah, all the time.
25:29And the colander.
25:30All of our cooking in the apartment.
25:33Mm-hmm.
25:34Pasta.
25:34Oh, yeah.
25:35Lots of pasta, baby.
25:37Yes.
25:42Please.
25:51I know this one.
25:59Our wedding in Hawaii.
26:01Oh, yeah.
26:02I've waited a long time for us to wake up together, you know that?
26:08It's a husband and a wife.
26:11I've got a big surprise for you today.
26:13You do?
26:13What?
26:14Well, I wouldn't be surprised if I told you.
26:17Oh, come on, please, tell me.
26:18No, first things first.
26:19There was something I forgot last night.
26:21I can't imagine anything you forgot last night.
26:25Well, I was talking about something else.
26:27Oh, yeah.
26:27Oh, yeah.
26:28Oh, yeah.
26:28Oh.
26:29Oh, yeah.
26:30Oh.
26:30Yeah.
26:31Oh.
26:44Oh.
26:46Oh, Danny, it's lovely.
26:52I helped design it.
26:54You did?
26:55It's been in the works for some time now.
27:00It's kind of simple.
27:02I think you can wear it with anything, don't you think?
27:04It's not scripture.
27:07It's a cricket with all my love now and forever.
27:12It's so beautiful.
27:14We'll see if it fits. Come on.
27:15Okay.
27:16It's perfect.
27:24It's really perfect.
27:26No.
27:28It is. It really is beautiful.
27:31And you're beautiful.
27:35I love you.
27:37I love you, too.
27:38I was so happy being married to you.
27:48I felt like the luckiest guy in the world.
27:50Our life together.
27:56It's just starting.
28:01Okay.
28:02And this, this represents our first Christmas tree.
28:13Yeah, our first tree.
28:15Yeah.
28:16Ready?
28:17Wait, wait.
28:18Okay.
28:19Ready?
28:20Ready.
28:20Ta-da!
28:21Ta-da!
28:24It's beautiful.
28:27It's incredible.
28:28Are you happy?
28:30Very.
28:30Yes.
28:32You know what?
28:36This married business, I really like it a lot.
28:39Oh, you do, huh?
28:41Yes.
28:42I do.
28:46Last year, this place was just an apartment.
28:49And this year, because of you, it's a home.
28:51This is all so sweet of you.
29:11I've loved reliving these memories.
29:16There's a reason for it.
29:21Our entire journey together, all comes down to this very moment, right here.
29:39The last one.
29:42Please, open it.
29:46Is this going to make me cry?
29:51I hope not, but maybe not in a bad way.
29:55If you do, I can't really guarantee either way how we'll both react, but come on.
30:07Go ahead.
30:07I think I'm going to take it from here.
30:27Christy, you completely changed my life when I met you.
30:31We, we became best friends first.
30:40It evolved into, I couldn't imagine my life without you.
30:48It just, it always felt so right when we were together.
30:53And then, uh, I made mistakes and I lost you.
31:06I really regret how badly I hurt you and all the moments we lost together.
31:12And I said to myself, um, I said to myself that if I ever get another chance, that I wouldn't, I wouldn't ruin it.
31:28And I, uh, I was going to ever be grateful for, for having found you again.
31:38And I just don't want to spend another day of my life where we don't belong to each other.
31:46So, Cricket, will you marry me?
32:04Thank you, of course.
32:13And I think it's just going to take some time to process the loss.
32:17Go at your own pace.
32:19You'll get there.
32:22Earlier, you said something about Adam being a niece.
32:27Um, have you heard from him at all?
32:29I mean, has he reached the Chateau?
32:30I don't know if he's reached the Chateau.
32:32There's been no word.
32:33I assume he doesn't have cell service, since no one there seems to.
32:37I wish that we could hear from someone so we could figure out what's going on.
32:41Who DeMah is.
32:42Actually, Adam and I, we think we know.
32:48Really?
32:49Who?
32:49We have reason to suspect it's Cain Ashby.
32:53Or his father, Colin.
32:55Cain?
32:56But nobody's heard from him in years.
32:58No, no, he was here, in town.
33:00I saw him.
33:00He just popped up randomly, and he couldn't explain to me why he was here.
33:07That's very bizarre.
33:09If Cain is involved.
33:12Lily got invited to France.
33:15I know.
33:15How much contact have she and Cain had since he left town?
33:20I'm not sure.
33:21I'd have to imagine some, because of the kids.
33:25Well, if you're right about that, that must be a shock to her.
33:27And this is where I'll leave you.
33:33I hope you can get some sleep now.
33:35And where do you think you're going?
33:38Back to my own sleeping car.
33:40Hey, I'm being a gentleman, okay?
33:43I'm saying goodnight.
33:44Well, I'm still not tired.
33:46Oh, come on, it's late.
33:48I ain't in breakfast.
33:49It's scheduled early tomorrow.
33:50Actually, today.
33:52Well, I don't really care about Cain's itinerary, because I am done playing by his rules.
33:57Okay, so what do you want to do?
33:58You want to stay up to sunrise?
34:00You want to play another round of Go Fish?
34:03I don't know.
34:05I'm feeling rebellious.
34:08Okay, Fearless Leader, what do you have in mind?
34:12Um, can you drive a train?
34:15Because we could take this baby for a spin and see if there really is debris blocking the tracks.
34:19Okay, and wake up everybody on board.
34:22Well, are you in or are you out?
34:25Alas, I have no train operating skills.
34:28Yeah, me either.
34:30Any other ideas?
34:33I don't know.
34:34I feel like I can't really think.
34:36The heat is just getting to me.
34:37Yeah, I feel like so.
34:39I mean, the sun went down hours ago.
34:41I just feel like it should have cooled off by now.
34:44Things just keep getting hotter and hotter.
34:58I never thought this date would come.
35:01And I never thought we would be so lucky again.
35:04But Danny Romolati, I love you so much.
35:07So yes, yes, a thousand times, yes, I will marry you.
35:11If you need anything, I'll let you know.
35:31Or if you want to send Johnny and Katie over for a sleepover, they can play with Connor if you need a break.
35:36Definitely.
35:36I will take you up on that.
35:38I'm here for you.
35:39I need to talk.
35:40Thank you, Josie.
35:43Oh, I'm so sorry.
36:17Dry cleaning.
36:19Bill's gold publisher.
36:24Horseback riding with Claire.
36:27Flowers for Victoria.
36:28You're such a sweet man.
36:53You always put me and Claire first.
36:57I just want you to know that we're going to be okay.
37:07I'll miss you every day, though.
37:10But I'm going to look after Claire.
37:14And we're going to get through this.
37:20I just want you to be at peace.
37:22Goodbye, Cole.
37:23Goodbye, Cole.
37:29I love you.
37:30I love you.
37:38But...
37:38Are you sure?
37:41Yes.
37:45I'm sure.
37:47I'm sure.
37:47I'm sure.
37:48I'm sure.
37:48Okay.
37:48I don't know.
38:18I don't know.
