00:00:36Yeah, go ahead.
00:00:37You're one demerit away from getting thrown out of this school.
00:00:38You want your book back so bad?

00:00:56Ow!
00:00:57Ow!
00:01:07Ow!
00:01:08No, this is gonna cost a fortune to replace.
00:01:12You can have mine.
00:01:14No, I couldn't.
00:01:16Yeah, you could.
00:01:17I've seen you in class.
00:01:18You are brilliant.
00:01:21And you're gonna get way more use out of this than I ever would.
00:01:28Yeah.
00:01:33You wanna grab lunch?
00:01:36Or keep studying?
00:01:39Um, yeah.
00:01:41Yeah?
00:01:42Grab lunch.
00:01:43Yeah, great.
00:01:50When did you two get back from the honeymoon?
00:01:52Just an hour ago.
00:01:53And this was waiting for me when I got back.
00:01:56I got in, Daddy.
00:01:58The Young Architects Program in Paris.
00:02:00It's a dream come true.
00:02:02Huh.
00:02:03And when we get back, we're gonna rebuild this town.
00:02:08Together.
00:02:11Allie, get me some ice.
00:02:14Sure, Daddy.
00:02:18Are you two insane?
00:02:20Rebuild this town?
00:02:22This town is dying, and I want my daughter as far away from it as possible.
00:02:27But, sir, we have a plan.
00:02:30We even applied to adopt a child.
00:02:33Even more reason to end this now before you keep her trapped here forever.
00:02:37I promised Allie's mother before she passed away that I would take care of our daughter.
00:02:42She deserves more than this two-bit town, and quite frankly, she deserves more than you.
00:02:48But, sir, I love her more than anything.
00:02:51I promise I will always take care of her.
00:02:54And you think that's important?
00:02:57She's going to be a world-class architect.
00:03:00You, you're a local boy with a hammer.
00:03:04If you truly loved her, you'd let her go.
00:03:07Let her make something of herself.
00:03:10Deep down, you know I'm right.
00:03:13Here.
00:03:17This should be enough.
00:03:19I want her on that plane alone.
00:03:26I want her on that plane alone.
00:03:33For Mr. and Mrs. Craig Brody.
00:03:35We just got married.
00:03:37I got into an architecture program at Paris, and my new husband is coming with me.
00:03:42Actually, I'm not coming with you, Allie.
00:03:45What? Why?
00:03:47You think I want to just sit around while you study crumbling buildings?
00:03:52You're never going to be a real architect.
00:03:54The world is going to chew you up and spit you out, and it's going to be too pathetic for me to watch.
00:04:01Um, what, but, no, what about our plans?
00:04:07We were trying to start a family together.
00:04:10No, the last person I'd want to start a family with is you, Allie.
00:04:14I want a divorce.
00:04:17No, no, but where is this coming from?
00:04:21Hi, Craig baby.
00:04:23Are you seeing Trista now?
00:04:26Yeah, just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:04:30Craig, no, what?
00:04:35I thought you believed in me.
00:04:38Ma'am, boarding is closing. Are you coming or not?
00:04:41Yes, but I'd like to change my ticket to one way.
00:04:50Ms. Hiltner! Ms. Hiltner!
00:04:52You were just recognized as Time Magazine's top CEO to watch,
00:04:55and your company is taking the New York architecture scene by storm.
00:04:59What's next for you?
00:05:01Um, I don't know.
00:05:03I think I'm going to be a designer.
00:05:06You were just recognized as Time Magazine's top CEO to watch,
00:05:09and your company is taking the New York architecture scene by storm.
00:05:12What's next for you?
00:05:14Um, I don't know.
00:05:16Taking over the world?
00:05:18Well, you and your boyfriend, billionaire politician Ned Vogel,
00:05:20are quite the power couple.
00:05:22He must be so proud.
00:05:24I'm not doing any of this for a man's approval.
00:05:26Well, word on the street is he's planning on proposing.
00:05:29You must be the luckiest girl in the world.
00:05:32The luckiest girl in the world?
00:05:34Oh, my God.
00:05:41Oh, my God.
00:05:47Allie Bildner,
00:05:49you are the most impressive woman I have ever met.
00:05:53You are my soulmate.
00:05:55You are my soulmate.
00:06:05Will you marry me?
00:06:10Will you marry me?
00:06:12Allie Bildner, I love you more than anything.
00:06:15You are my soulmate and the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:06:19Will you make me the luckiest man in the world and marry me?
00:06:22Allie? Allie?
00:06:25You're really leaving me to sweat here.
00:06:28And this suit is way too expensive for that.
00:06:31The most eligible bachelor in the country is proposing to me.
00:06:34So why am I thinking about Craig?
00:06:37He was a jerk and a liar.
00:06:39And I need to move on with my life.
00:06:44Of course I'll marry you.
00:06:54This ring must have cost a fortune.
00:06:56You're so lucky.
00:06:58When's the wedding?
00:07:00Ned wants to get married as soon as possible.
00:07:03Oh, you know, Allie would love a hot tea.
00:07:08We have a problem.
00:07:10And that is?
00:07:11You're already married.
00:07:13To a Craig Brody?
00:07:19He never signed the divorce papers?
00:07:24So you're still married?
00:07:26He was my high school sweetheart.
00:07:29We got married.
00:07:32But it didn't work out.
00:07:34I thought he had signed the divorce papers.
00:07:36You thought?
00:07:37Allie, the election is in six weeks.
00:07:39This could ruin my campaign.
00:07:41Just imagine the headlines.
00:07:43Senator's fiancee, already a wife?
00:07:45I will get him to sign the papers.
00:07:47You better.
00:07:48Or there won't be a future for us, Allie.
00:07:53I gotta take this. It's my campaign manager.
00:07:56But this is important.
00:07:57Yeah, so is this.
00:08:01Clarence.
00:08:02What's going on, buddy? Talk to me.
00:08:08Motherfucker.
00:08:27I never thought I'd hear from you again, hon.
00:08:34Thanks for meeting me here, Trista.
00:08:37So, you really ended it with her.
00:08:40What does it look like?
00:08:43Yeah.
00:08:44She's really gone.
00:08:46Good.
00:08:47So, there's this romantic movie playing at Cinema 6.
00:08:50I thought me and you can go and watch.
00:08:52And we can cuddle.
00:08:54We're not going anywhere together, Trista.
00:08:57My heart still belongs to Allie.
00:09:00And it always will.
00:09:02I don't understand.
00:09:04Sometimes, when you truly love someone,
00:09:09you have to let them go.
00:09:11No matter how much it hurts.
00:09:16Thank you for your help.
00:09:24I hate you, Allie Brody!
00:09:32Your call has been forwarded to an automatic...
00:09:36Fine.
00:09:38You want me to come after you, Craig Brody?
00:09:42I will.
00:09:445 MINUTES LATER
00:09:52Leave the bag. I'll be five minutes.
00:09:555 MINUTES LATER
00:10:12It's been seven years, Craig Brody.
00:10:14And you broke my heart.
00:10:17Somehow, the piece is still beat for you.
00:10:25Allie!
00:10:27What?
00:10:28What are you doing here, Allie?
00:10:30Well, someone never signed the divorce papers,
00:10:33so we're still married.
00:10:35Sign the papers, Craig!
00:10:38I can't sign them.
00:10:39You can't?
00:10:40It's complicated.
00:10:42Then let me make it simple.
00:10:44I'm supposed to get married to,
00:10:46God, the man of my dreams, in six weeks.
00:10:49Only, the funny thing is,
00:10:50my ex-husband never signed the divorce papers!
00:10:54You're engaged?
00:10:55Yes, Craig!
00:10:56Or did you think I would never move on from you?
00:10:59Sign the papers!
00:11:00I can't sign them.
00:11:02Why not?
00:11:03There's something I have to tell you.
00:11:05Mommy!
00:11:13I can't sign them.
00:11:15Why not?
00:11:16Because we have a daughter together,
00:11:19and I never told you.
00:11:25You're finally approved.
00:11:28After all this time.
00:11:31You even remember?
00:11:44Mommy!
00:11:45I'm sorry, but I'm not your mommy.
00:11:49Yes, you are.
00:11:50You are my mommy.
00:11:52Tell her, Daddy.
00:11:53Uh, Craig?
00:11:54What is she talking about?
00:11:55Natalie, why don't you go grab the nets?
00:11:57Because I said we'd go catch bullfrogs, remember?
00:11:59Okay.
00:12:00Is Mommy coming with us?
00:12:02No, Mommy and Daddy need to have a chat.
00:12:04All right?
00:12:05Okay, Daddy.
00:12:09Want to tell me what the hell is going on?
00:12:12Well...
00:12:17Allie didn't come here to get back together.
00:12:19She came here to divorce me.
00:12:21And I have to let her move on.
00:12:28I tracked you down.
00:12:30In the library.
00:12:31In New York.
00:12:32And you were there with another guy.
00:12:36You looked happy.
00:12:38You looked free.
00:12:40Well?
00:12:41Um...
00:12:43You know kids.
00:12:45Act of imagination.
00:12:46She thinks every woman who comes on the farm is her mom.
00:12:49All right, listen.
00:12:50Just leave the papers on the counter and I'll sign them.
00:12:53I have a flight back to New York in three hours.
00:12:55And I am not leaving here without these papers signed.
00:12:58Well, I'm not signing them.
00:12:59I'm going to New York.
00:13:00I'm going to New York.
00:13:01I'm going to New York.
00:13:02I'm going to New York.
00:13:03I'm going to New York.
00:13:04I'm going to New York.
00:13:05I'm going to New York.
00:13:06I'm going to New York.
00:13:07I'm going to New York.
00:13:08Well, I'm not signing them until I read them over first.
00:13:11Why, Craig?
00:13:13It's not like you have anything that I want.
00:13:15What do you have that I could possibly want?
00:13:19I'm ready, Daddy.
00:13:21Okay, um...
00:13:22I promise I'll sign them, okay?
00:13:24I know better than to trust your promises, Craig.
00:13:27I got one for you too, Mommy.
00:13:29Oh, yeah.
00:13:30So, Miss Allie is going back to New York.
00:13:33So it's just going to be you and me, kiddo.
00:13:35Like always.
00:13:36Okay.
00:13:37I'm sorry.
00:13:38Just leave them in the living room.
00:13:40I'll sign them.
00:13:41No, no, don't.
00:13:42Come on.
00:14:07No, no, no!
00:14:09Wait!
00:14:27No cell service still?
00:14:32Guess I'm walking.
00:14:34Mommy, help!
00:14:35Sure.
00:14:39What happened?
00:14:40Daddy got bit by a big snake.
00:14:44Oh.
00:14:45Cobra head?
00:14:46Mm-hmm.
00:14:51Daddy.
00:14:54You still remember how to draw out snake venom?
00:14:56Well, I haven't forgotten everything you taught me, Craig Brody.
00:15:00Here.
00:15:04Here, keep the pressure on.
00:15:06Okay.
00:15:09Your daddy will be fine. I promise.
00:15:19Hold still.
00:15:22There.
00:15:24Keep the pressure on.
00:15:30So, your daughter.
00:15:32Mm-hmm.
00:15:33She looks about...
00:15:35Seven years old.
00:15:38So, she's Trista's?
00:15:40No, she's yours.
00:15:44She's yours.
00:15:46So, if she's not Trista's, how many other women were you sleeping with while we were together?
00:15:52I don't care if you were with the entire town.
00:15:54I don't care if you were with the entire town.
00:15:56Just sign the papers, Craig, and we can put this sham of marriage behind us.
00:16:00You've got to be kidding me.
00:16:02Where did they go?
00:16:04Daddy's had this photo in his nightstand for seven years, which means he still loves her.
00:16:10And if they loved each other once, they can love each other again.
00:16:14They just need another chance.
00:16:25Where are the divorce papers?
00:16:28No.
00:16:38I will check into the Pequoy Inn for tonight.
00:16:41And we can look for the divorce papers tomorrow.
00:16:44The Pequoy closed years ago.
00:16:46There was always your father's.
00:16:48That's not an option.
00:16:51The way she said that, it's something happened between her and her father.
00:16:56Well, unless you want to stay outside, I guess you're stuck here.
00:17:05I guess you're stuck here.
00:17:09Fine, but I'm not staying in your room.
00:17:12Wouldn't dream of it.
00:17:15You can stay in my room with me and Lucy.
00:17:19There you go.
00:17:28Wow, I love your room.
00:17:30Thanks, my dad helped me decorate it.
00:17:42Okay, look.
00:17:44Oh my God.
00:17:46I know it hasn't been easy, trying to start a family, but one day, the adoption will go through.
00:17:55We're going to have that baby, and you will be the most amazing mom.
00:18:27Good night, sweetheart.
00:18:32That logo, it's from the adoption agency.
00:18:37Is Natalie my daughter?
00:18:39I guess I'm just remembering things wrong.
00:19:09I love you.
00:19:40I don't think I haven't seen her before.
00:19:46Daddy?
00:19:51Do you know where McHaley went?
00:19:53No, I haven't seen her.
00:19:56Do you think she left us, Daddy?
00:19:58You know what? Just give me five minutes, and I'll help you look, okay, sweetie?
00:20:02Okay, Daddy.
00:20:05Come on.
00:20:26Craig, I'm engaged to someone else.
00:20:29You're not so married to me.
00:20:33I don't think this could get any messier.
00:20:41I should go.
00:20:56Hey.
00:20:58Hey.
00:20:59Hey.
00:21:00So, I found the divorce papers.
00:21:05Natalie!
00:21:06I think she wants to keep us married.
00:21:09Would that be such a bad thing?
00:21:16Hello! I brought scones!
00:21:21What the hell are you doing here?
00:21:24What the hell are you doing here?
00:21:29Craig and Trista are still together?
00:21:31I mean...
00:21:32Hi, baby.
00:21:34I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
00:21:36What a pleasant surprise.
00:21:38Holly?
00:21:39Daddy?
00:21:40Uh, excuse me.
00:21:45What the fuck are you doing here?
00:21:47It's none of your business.
00:21:50Actually, where Craig's concerned, it is.
00:21:54You and Craig are still together.
00:21:58We're not going anywhere together, Trista.
00:22:01My heart still belongs to Hallie, and it always will.
00:22:06Still together?
00:22:07Why, of course we're still together.
00:22:10We've been inseparable.
00:22:11Ever since that day at the airport,
00:22:13the day that Craig chose me over you.
00:22:16Don't tell me you've forgotten.
00:22:20How could I?
00:22:23It was the worst day of my life.
00:22:24Oh, sorry to hear that.
00:22:26Because it was a pretty good day for me.
00:22:28I'm sure it was.
00:22:30Listen, if you're here to win Craig back, it's too late.
00:22:33Because I'm pretty sure he's planning on proposing to me.
00:22:36Any day now.
00:22:38So I need you to get your skinny little ass out of my town.
00:22:41Okay?
00:22:42Come here.
00:22:43Take a pastry for the road.
00:22:45I insist.
00:22:51Eat it.
00:22:52Because it's the closest you'll get to tasting Craig's mouth ever again.
00:22:59Oh my god!
00:23:02You New York bitch!
00:23:04Oh my god!
00:23:11You think you can just waltz back in here and pick up where you left off?
00:23:15Craig will always choose me over you.
00:23:22What the hell is going on here?
00:23:24My ankle! My ankle!
00:23:27That crazy bitch!
00:23:31Like I said, he will always choose me over you.
00:23:35Are you okay?
00:23:37Why are you asking her? I'm the one who's injured.
00:23:43All I did was offer her a scone and then she called it dog food and then she kicked me.
00:23:49Oh, poor little thing. You got scone all over you.
00:23:54It's okay Halle. I forgive you.
00:23:56Even if you did break my leg.
00:23:58I didn't touch you.
00:24:00You need to put your petty jealousy aside.
00:24:02Craig divorced you for a reason.
00:24:04Our coming back here to beg for him back is just pathetic.
00:24:09Actually, I didn't divorce Halle.
00:24:12She's still my wife.
00:24:14What?
00:24:16Halle is still my wife.
00:24:19Which means you just insulted her in her own house.
00:24:22So please leave Trista.
00:24:25Wait, baby. This is just one big misunderstanding.
00:24:28You heard my daddy. Get out of our house before we call the cops.
00:24:34Oh my god, ew. What is that disgusting creature?
00:24:37I'm gonna vomit.
00:24:39Good job, Lucy.
00:24:41You know what? I should go.
00:24:43Halle.
00:24:48It was nice meeting you, Adam.
00:24:51I'm sorry.
00:24:58Lulu, call me back.
00:25:02Halle.
00:25:03No, I never understood why you left me for Trista.
00:25:06Of all people, you knew I couldn't stand her.
00:25:09That's why I did it.
00:25:11Because I knew it would hurt you the most.
00:25:15Seeing her again has just reminded me of the worst day of my life.
00:25:19Halle, there's something I need to tell you about Trista.
00:25:26I don't want to talk about Trista anymore, okay? I have to take this.
00:25:29Lulu, can you email me another copy of the divorce papers ASAP?
00:25:33Another copy? What happened to the originals?
00:25:36It's a long story.
00:25:40Can you do it?
00:25:41It's Saturday. City Hall's closed until Monday.
00:25:45You're gonna need a certified copy.
00:25:47I think you're gonna have to stay the weekend there, boss.
00:25:50I hope that's not a big problem.
00:25:53No, of course not.
00:25:55Well, looks like I am staying until Monday
00:25:58until I can get a new copy of the divorce papers.
00:26:00I don't have anything.
00:26:02Not a change of clothes, not even a toothbrush.
00:26:04You can just drive me to the store.
00:26:07Okay.
00:26:09Hey, Miss Halle is staying.
00:26:28Stop looking at him like that, Halle.
00:26:31You can't have feelings for him.
00:26:34Even if he is your husband.
00:26:39I can't believe how bad the town looks.
00:26:48When the factory closed, half the stores went with it.
00:26:52At least Martha's Diner is still here.
00:26:54Martha Mae makes the best burgers in the world.
00:26:58Yeah.
00:26:59Remember our crazy dream to fix this place up?
00:27:04Of course I do.
00:27:06So, you probably have big plans after graduation.
00:27:11I'm applying to an architecture program in Paris.
00:27:14I doubt I'll get in, though.
00:27:16It's really competitive.
00:27:18Of course you will.
00:27:19I mean, they'd be fools not to take you.
00:27:22You think so?
00:27:23Oh, yeah, I know so.
00:27:25Well, after that, I want to come back here.
00:27:28Fix this town up.
00:27:29I am a pretty good glamour.
00:27:31I need an assistant.
00:27:33How about a partner?
00:27:34Ooh.
00:27:39Sounds perfect.
00:27:41Man, I could really go for a burger right now.
00:27:44I have an idea.
00:27:48Where are you taking me, Craig Brody?
00:27:53A picnic.
00:27:54Just like old times.
00:27:57Allow me.
00:27:59Oh!
00:28:05I hate you, Hallie!
00:28:12Wow, it's just like in high school.
00:28:14Still looks the same, doesn't it?
00:28:17And feels the same.
00:28:20I love you, Hallie Bildner.
00:28:22And I want you to know, I will never, ever hurt you.
00:28:28I'm so sorry for hurting you, Hallie.
00:28:32Natalie!
00:28:33Hallie and I were supposed to eat these on our picking trip.
00:28:38I don't think she'll forgive me.
00:28:42Triangles.
00:28:43Just what you tell me.
00:28:45It's Natalie's favorite way to eat them, too.
00:28:48Oh, I have to take this.
00:28:50Hey.
00:28:51Hallie!
00:28:52The press wants to know why we haven't been seen together.
00:28:55They think we broke up.
00:28:56You need to get back here right now.
00:28:59I can't yet.
00:29:01I need to get new divorce papers and the city hall is closed until Monday.
00:29:05New divorce papers?
00:29:06What?
00:29:07Your location says you're at your old high school.
00:29:09What the hell is going on?
00:29:11It's complicated.
00:29:14No, it is not complicated!
00:29:17Okay, look.
00:29:18I am pulling in a favor from the governor.
00:29:21We're going to get those papers expedited and we are going to force that husband of yours into seeing me.
00:29:26We're going to force that husband of yours into signing them if we have to.
00:29:29I need you on the next flight back in an hour.
00:29:32In an hour?
00:29:33Yeah.
00:29:34That's not going to be a problem, is it?
00:29:39Of course not.
00:29:44I have to go.
00:29:47You wouldn't mind taking me to the airport, would you?
00:29:51Of course not.
00:29:57Just sign the papers when you get them, Craig.
00:30:00Okay?
00:30:01It's the least you can do.
00:30:03This is my last chance to tell her the truth.
00:30:07Well...
00:30:09Goodbye.
00:30:10I guess.
00:30:11I...
00:30:12No, Craig.
00:30:13No, I'm done waiting.
00:30:16It's time for me to move on.
00:30:22Hello?
00:30:24Hello?
00:30:26What?
00:30:27Are you sure?
00:30:29Okay.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:32It's my father.
00:30:34He's had a stroke.
00:30:35He's at the community hospital.
00:30:37Come on.
00:30:38I'll drive you.
00:30:41Unless you're getting on that flight.
00:30:43No.
00:30:44No, of course not.
00:30:45Okay.
00:30:46Good, good, good.
00:30:47Come on.
00:30:50What's going on?
00:30:51The neighbor found him this morning on the lawn.
00:30:54Hallie!
00:30:55I didn't expect to see you here.
00:30:57Is he going to be okay?
00:30:58We're doing the best we can, but it's difficult considering his condition.
00:31:02His condition?
00:31:04Your father is dying, Hallie.
00:31:06Of kidney failure.
00:31:11How long does he have?
00:31:13A couple weeks.
00:31:14Maybe a month.
00:31:15I hope you're planning on sticking around this time.
00:31:19Excuse me.
00:31:22What?
00:31:24I had no idea.
00:31:26You didn't?
00:31:27When was the last time you saw him?
00:31:32Seven years ago.
00:31:39Hallie!
00:31:41Craig's divorcing me.
00:31:42He's been cheating on me.
00:31:44I knew that bastard wasn't good enough for you.
00:31:47But at least you found out before he followed you to Paris.
00:31:50No, I'm not going to Paris.
00:31:52I can't get on that plane.
00:31:54What?
00:31:56Craig was right.
00:31:57I'm not...
00:31:58I'm not a real architect.
00:31:59Everyone's going to laugh at me.
00:32:01You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:32:03But, Daddy...
00:32:05If you come back now, you'll be a laughing stock.
00:32:07You'll be a divorced loser.
00:32:09No one will want you.
00:32:10Not Craig.
00:32:13Not even me.
00:32:16Daddy?
00:32:17You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:32:20I never want to see you again.
00:32:22You are a disgrace.
00:32:33Nobody's ever been so mean to me.
00:32:38Except you, that is.
00:32:41God, it's like the two of you were in cahoots.
00:32:44Should I tell her that we were?
00:32:47If I tell her the truth,
00:32:49she'll never forgive her dying father.
00:32:52Didn't work out for the best, though.
00:32:55I mean, look at the life you've built for yourself.
00:32:57You deserve more than this small town.
00:33:01You and my father certainly made it easy to leave.
00:33:06What's going on?
00:33:08Powergrave's been happening for weeks.
00:33:10What?
00:33:15Natalie?
00:33:16Daddy.
00:33:18I'm scared.
00:33:19It's dark and there's someone outside.
00:33:21I'll be right there.
00:33:22Keep the doors locked.
00:33:24I have to go.
00:33:25No, I'm coming with you.
00:33:26Hallie, this isn't something that...
00:33:27I'm coming with you.
00:33:28Okay.
00:33:29Okay, come on.
00:33:32Natalie?
00:33:34Oh, my God.
00:33:35Oh, my God.
00:33:36Oh, my God.
00:33:37Thank God.
00:33:39Oh.
00:33:41I was so scared.
00:33:42It's okay.
00:33:43It's okay.
00:33:44You're okay.
00:33:45Must have been raccoons.
00:33:48Broken through the window.
00:33:50Probably those scones, huh?
00:33:52Yeah.
00:33:53I'm so sorry for leaving you alone for so long.
00:33:56Oh, it's my fault.
00:33:57No, no, no.
00:33:58I was happy to help, but...
00:34:01I think you missed your flight.
00:34:04So you're saying we could watch a movie together?
00:34:09I, uh...
00:34:10Yes, we can.
00:34:15Miss Hallie, come closer.
00:34:21Daddy, come closer.
00:34:26Isn't this great?
00:34:27Just the three of us.
00:34:32This blanket always makes my daddy fall asleep.
00:34:38Oh, my God.
00:35:03Oh, my God.
00:35:09I love you, Hallie Brody.
00:35:13Why does this feel so...
00:35:16right?
00:35:18He's still my husband,
00:35:20and I know every freckle on his body.
00:35:23But no.
00:35:24I'm divorcing him
00:35:26and marrying someone else.
00:35:33Oh, my God.
00:35:35Oh, my God.
00:35:37Oh, my God.
00:35:42Hallie.
00:35:47Mommy and Daddy, I made breakfast.
00:35:56Do you like it?
00:35:57I made pancakes.
00:35:59They are excellent, sweetie.
00:36:02Mm-hmm.
00:36:03This is what families do.
00:36:04This is what families do.
00:36:05They eat breakfast together.
00:36:11What's up?
00:36:17There's some stupid birthday invitation.
00:36:19All the kids from school will be there,
00:36:21but I'm not going.
00:36:22Why not?
00:36:23Because everyone always says
00:36:26if I had a mom,
00:36:27she'd help me pick up better gifts.
00:36:30And they say I'm just a momless loser.
00:36:32You are not a momless loser, Natalie.
00:36:35And don't let anyone make you feel less than you are.
00:36:41I grew up without a mom, too, you know.
00:36:44And it was hard,
00:36:46but I was always able to rely on my dad,
00:36:50just like you can.
00:36:54And by the way,
00:36:55your dad is worth a thousand mommies.
00:36:59It's true.
00:37:00She checked?
00:37:01She checked.
00:37:03So go to that party with your head held high.
00:37:06No one can take your power from you
00:37:08unless you let them.
00:37:13Okay, Miss Allie.
00:37:14I'll go to the party.
00:37:15Thanks.
00:37:22Oh, no.
00:37:25Excuse me.
00:37:26I have to take this.
00:37:32I see you got my messages.
00:37:35Delete that photo, Trista.
00:37:37Oh, which one?
00:37:38Because I have plenty.
00:37:42What's the problem?
00:37:44A rich fiancé isn't enough for you,
00:37:46so you have to come back and seduce your husband, too.
00:37:48I didn't come here to get back with Craig, Trista.
00:37:51I came here to divorce him.
00:37:53Really?
00:37:54Then prove it.
00:37:55Walk away now and leave this town for good.
00:37:58Otherwise,
00:38:00these photos
00:38:02will go to the senator.
00:38:05I could ruin you, Allie.
00:38:08So don't mess with my life.
00:38:10And I won't mess with yours.
00:38:18Hey.
00:38:19Everything okay?
00:38:21Fine.
00:38:22Who are you talking to?
00:38:24Oh, my fiancé's lawyer.
00:38:27He'll be by with new divorce papers.
00:38:31I have to go.
00:38:32Right now?
00:38:33Yes.
00:38:34I'm sorry, but yes.
00:38:35Can you call me a cab?
00:38:36Allie.
00:38:37Call me a cab, Craig.
00:38:39Okay.
00:38:42My plan didn't work, Lucy.
00:38:44I guess Mommy isn't in love with Daddy after all.
00:38:48Martha May?
00:38:50Allie Builder, as I live and breathe!
00:38:53Oh!
00:38:54Oh, how are you so skinny?
00:38:56I thought that city of yours had a restaurant on every block.
00:38:59Oh, well, they do, but none of them make a burger as good as you do.
00:39:03Oh, well, that's nice to know I'll be remembered fondly, at least.
00:39:07What? Don't tell me you're shutting down.
00:39:09Yeah, I'm shutting down.
00:39:11I'm shutting down.
00:39:14What? Don't tell me you're shutting down.
00:39:16Yeah, I don't have a choice. Rent's gone up and I can't afford the place anymore.
00:39:20No, no, there must be something I can do.
00:39:23Mayor Diggle, shut it down.
00:39:26Mayor Diggle.
00:39:31Dirk, I can't believe you're shutting down Martha's Diner.
00:39:34It's a town institution.
00:39:36Is it? Or are you just upset about it because you and your boyfriend Craig used to go there?
00:39:41This isn't high school anymore, Dirk, and this isn't a game.
00:39:45What is it going to take for you to leave the diner alone?
00:39:48Well, you know I've always liked you, so how about you and me handle this privately?
00:39:56I'll pay you twelve months' rent in advance.
00:40:02Listen, do you think I want your money?
00:40:04No, I had something more interesting in mind. You!
00:40:07You're disgusting!
00:40:09Listen, Craig was here to save you last time, but he's not here now.
00:40:14Looks like you're all alone, Hallie.
00:40:17Let go of my wife!
00:40:27Well, you two are under arrest for assaulting the mayor.
00:40:33You know the drill. This is just like how I used to arrest you when you was back in high school.
00:40:40Wife, huh?
00:40:43Some habits are hard to break.
00:40:47God, this is so not funny. Ned is running for senator.
00:40:51What will this look like if anyone finds out?
00:40:53And who's going to check a county jail in a nowhere town?
00:40:57I should have never come back here. I should have sent my assistant. I should have hired a lawyer!
00:41:01Then why didn't you?
00:41:04I think you're right.
00:41:06Why didn't you?
00:41:08I think you wanted to see me.
00:41:10In your dreams. I have moved on to bigger and better things.
00:41:14Yeah, I heard about that.
00:41:16That neighborhood you shut down put 6,000 people out of work.
00:41:20And the complex I built brought back 10,000 jobs.
00:41:24Yeah, for Ivy Leaguers and corporate types.
00:41:26What about the blue collars?
00:41:28Hmm?
00:41:29What about the people you came from?
00:41:31I've tried to forget where I came from!
00:41:33Okay, isn't that what you wanted when you told me I don't belong here?
00:41:36I shouldn't have said that.
00:41:37No, you were right.
00:41:39I'm not the same girl you married.
00:41:42I've built a life, a career.
00:41:46I should thank you.
00:41:47Because I couldn't have done it without you.
00:41:50All right, lovebirds.
00:41:52Your bail's been posted.
00:41:54You're free to go.
00:41:56Bail? By who?
00:41:59Hey, house.
00:42:03Ned.
00:42:08Hey, house.
00:42:09Ned.
00:42:13So, you must be Craig Rohde.
00:42:16The man who couldn't even sign a simple divorce paper.
00:42:19And you must be Ned Vogel.
00:42:21The man who thinks money can solve everything.
00:42:24Yeah, well, my money got you out of jail, didn't it?
00:42:28I didn't ask to be bailed out.
00:42:30Well, you can think of it as the government working for you.
00:42:33Well, you can shove your government up your silver spoon.
00:42:36Guys, please stop.
00:42:38No, you're right.
00:42:40I'm not here to argue with a man who's holding on to the past.
00:42:46We got the divorce papers expedited.
00:42:48So, you can sign them, Craig.
00:42:52This nonsense has gone on long enough.
00:42:56Can I really divorce Hallie?
00:42:58Without her knowing about her own daughter?
00:43:02Sign the papers.
00:43:05Or we take you to court.
00:43:07But I gotta tell you, my lawyer's a shark.
00:43:10Say something, Hallie.
00:43:13Say something to stop this.
00:43:16Sign the papers, Craig.
00:43:19Let me go.
00:43:22It's the least you can do.
00:43:29Wonderful.
00:43:30We will get these filed at the town hall.
00:43:33And you will be divorced in an hour.
00:43:37This nonsense has gone on long enough.
00:43:40It's time for you to finally move on with your life, Hallie.
00:43:46Well, are you coming?
00:43:49Yes, of course.
00:43:52Bye.
00:43:59That is who she ended up with.
00:44:02I always thought it'd be you.
00:44:05You know, sometimes things don't work out the way we want them to.
00:44:11Hallie, what were you thinking?
00:44:13Jail?
00:44:14Are you trying to ruin my campaign?
00:44:17No. No, this has nothing to do with you.
00:44:20You are gonna be my wife.
00:44:24Everything you do reflects on me.
00:44:28Now, are there any other skeletons I should know about?
00:44:41No. Nothing.
00:44:46This town is just how you described it.
00:44:51Low class, run down, depressing.
00:44:55It isn't that bad.
00:44:58Those were your words, Hallie.
00:45:00What's gotten into you?
00:45:01I don't know. Just being back here.
00:45:07Should I remind you how lucky you are to have gotten out?
00:45:12Last signature, Miss Builder.
00:45:14And you'll be free and clear to be the wife of a Senate.
00:45:26Okay. Let's go.
00:45:32Fair wages! Fair pay! We want workers out today!
00:45:35Let us through.
00:45:36No one gets in or out today. Town workers on strike.
00:45:40We need to get these filed. We have a flight to catch in 30 minutes.
00:45:44Sorry, we can't do it.
00:45:49There you are, Mommy.
00:45:53Mommy?
00:45:58I knew you wanted to leave without me, Mommy.
00:46:01Mommy? You two have a kid together?
00:46:03No, no, no. Of course not. Natalie, come on. Miss Hallie has to go.
00:46:07No, no!
00:46:09I'm so sorry.
00:46:11I hate you! I hate both of you!
00:46:15Another reason why I'm glad I don't have kids.
00:46:18Look, we need to get these signed.
00:46:20What's it going to cost me to make it happen?
00:46:22Whoa! Is this a city Senate official bribing a city employee?
00:46:30You see, I have my fair share of scandals, but this? This is bad.
00:46:35Hallie, I see you got a fancy new fiancé.
00:46:40What happened to your husband? Is he still locked away in jail?
00:46:43I think he means soon to be ex-husband.
00:46:46Ah, looks like your father got what he always wanted.
00:46:50You and Craig finally divorced.
00:46:54What do you mean what my father wanted?
00:46:57What do you mean what my father wanted?
00:47:00Wait a minute. Craig never told you...
00:47:02Fairway to Fairway!
00:47:04Hey! Keep it down or I'll write you up for a noise violation.
00:47:08How about you pay us what we're owed and not waste our tax dollars
00:47:12on fancy new firetrucks and cocktail parties.
00:47:15Mayor Sullivan never would have done anything.
00:47:18All right, listen. Mayor Sullivan is not in charge anymore.
00:47:21I am, all right? So please just keep it down.
00:47:24Fairway to Fairpay!
00:47:26All right, just keep it down!
00:47:28Fairway to Fairpay!
00:47:31I'll sign that paper for you.
00:47:33Yeah, all right, good.
00:47:36Where's the rest of it?
00:47:38What?
00:47:39Well, I can't sign this without a custody agreement.
00:47:41A custody agreement?
00:47:43Sure, this child is just as much Hallie's as she is Craig's.
00:47:49You lied to me.
00:47:51No, no, no, I didn't. No, I swear.
00:47:55How is this even possible?
00:47:57Well, she's adopted. I mean, I did the paperwork myself.
00:47:59You're listed as parent number one.
00:48:01Geez, I would have thought he would have told you about it by now.
00:48:04This is not good. A husband is one thing, but a child?
00:48:08If this gets out, I am sunk. Right?
00:48:10A messy custody battle never sits well with voters.
00:48:13Who said anything about a custody agreement?
00:48:15Hallie doesn't even want the kid, right, Hallie?
00:48:18I mean, you barely even know the child.
00:48:20She'll give up custody right now. Where do we sign?
00:48:22It's not that simple. In a case like this, when a child's involved,
00:48:25both parties have to attend a parenting class.
00:48:28The next one starts tomorrow.
00:48:30Tomorrow? I do not have time for this.
00:48:33I have to get back to New York before the press starts asking questions.
00:48:38Go. Go. I'll get this sorted out.
00:48:41Fine. Take care of this child.
00:48:44End this marriage quickly and quietly.
00:48:54Hallie.
00:48:55No! You were just going to let me divorce you,
00:48:57never knowing that Natalie's my daughter?
00:48:59Shh.
00:49:08The adoption went through after you left.
00:49:11You didn't think I deserved to know?
00:49:14You could have called, written anything.
00:49:17I tried.
00:49:19What?
00:49:22And you were there with another guy.
00:49:25You looked happy. You looked free.
00:49:29Seems you don't need me and Natalie anymore.
00:49:32And that's why you never told me that I had a daughter?
00:49:37You looked like you'd moved on.
00:49:40Moved on?
00:49:42It took me years to move on.
00:49:46And honestly,
00:49:49I don't know if I ever have.
00:49:52Forget it.
00:49:55It doesn't matter now anyway.
00:49:58Here.
00:50:02Parenting class.
00:50:05We need to take it in order to get divorced.
00:50:08Custody.
00:50:10Co-parenting.
00:50:12Legally, Natalie is just as much mine as she is yours.
00:50:15You haven't spent any time with her.
00:50:18You didn't raise her.
00:50:19I know.
00:50:20And whose fault is that?
00:50:23Class is at 8 a.m. Don't be late.
00:50:30I knew Miss Hallie was my mommy.
00:50:36Dad?
00:50:42Maya, what's going on?
00:50:51Daddy!
00:50:53He's okay. He's stabilized.
00:50:56Your old man's a fighter, Hallie.
00:50:59And clearly he's fighting to see you again.
00:51:02No fighting to see me?
00:51:05No, if anything, he'd be pissed to know I'm back.
00:51:08My dad hates me.
00:51:10That's not possible. Hallie, he talks about you all the time.
00:51:14He does?
00:51:16Yep. Every Monday and Thursday at dialysis.
00:51:19That's how I know about your fancy job and your fancy boyfriend.
00:51:24None of this makes any sense.
00:51:27Hallie, are you okay?
00:51:30Yeah, today's just been... a lot.
00:51:34Maya, did you know that Natalie's my daughter?
00:51:42My shift ends in five minutes. Do you want to grab a drink?
00:51:48Craig has never revealed who Natalie's mother was,
00:51:51but he's never been with anyone since you, so we figured...
00:51:54Wait a second.
00:51:56He's never been with anyone since me?
00:51:59No, he left me for Trista. I saw him.
00:52:02Trista? She's been after him for years, sure,
00:52:05but he'd never touch her with a ten-foot pole.
00:52:07I don't understand.
00:52:09Just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:52:12Craig!
00:52:24Excuse me, Maya. I need to get to the bottom of this.
00:52:30Okay.
00:52:37Good to see you, Hallie.
00:52:39I know the truth. You were never with Trista.
00:52:43So tell me the truth about everything. Right now.
00:52:51Play me for it.
00:52:54If you win, I'll tell you.
00:52:59Okay.
00:53:05Looks like big city living hasn't dulled your aim at all.
00:53:08No, if anything, it made me sharper.
00:53:17You two are playing like your lives depend on it.
00:53:25Well, kind of do.
00:53:30Oops.
00:53:35If you do that again, I might just have to take you right here on the table.
00:53:41Too bad I'm engaged.
00:53:44What are you playing at, Hallie?
00:53:47I deserve the truth.
00:53:49Why? You came here to divorce me. What good would the truth do?
00:53:54I'll be the one to decide that.
00:53:59Okay.
00:54:10Now.
00:54:12Buzz up.
00:54:20You scratched.
00:54:24I win.
00:54:26Thank you, ladies, but I gotta go. I have an early start.
00:54:36Maybe I can find some clues in my father's room.
00:54:42Why didn't my father tell me he was sick?
00:54:45And why won't anyone just tell me the truth?
00:54:51Oh my God.
00:54:57This will always belong to Hallie, and so do my heart.
00:55:02What is this doing here?
00:55:10What was this doing in my father's bedroom?
00:55:12Hallie.
00:55:13Tell me, why was this in my father's room?
00:55:18Don't tell me you're about to propose, Hallie.
00:55:21Trista, what are you doing here?
00:55:24Surprise, I'm teaching the course.
00:55:27It's time for the two of you to get divorced.
00:55:32I mean, this is what you both want, right?
00:55:35Of course.
00:55:37Hallie, you are Natalie's mother after all.
00:55:40Yes, but she doesn't know it yet, so please keep this between us.
00:55:44I will always do you a favor, Craig. You know that.
00:55:48Okay, first topic.
00:55:51How to explain to your child why you're not together anymore.
00:55:55Simple. Her father is a lying, manipulative jerk who hid the fact that I had a daughter for five years.
00:56:02Not to mention whatever other secrets he's keeping.
00:56:05And what would you have done if I'd come up to you in the library that day?
00:56:08Hallie, be honest. You're starting a new life somewhere else.
00:56:12Because you made me believe there was nothing left for me here.
00:56:15So what are you going to do? You going to take Natalie to New York?
00:56:18Maybe.
00:56:20She belongs here.
00:56:22Not in New York with Central Air and an au pair.
00:56:26And I will be damned if I let Ned Vogel be my daughter's stepfather.
00:56:31Jealous, Craig. You know of all the things Ned is, he's never lied to me.
00:56:35Never torn my world apart without so much as an explanation.
00:56:39You want an explanation?
00:56:41Yeah.
00:56:42I'll give you one. I did lie to you that day when I told you that I didn't love you anymore.
00:56:51I'm done here.
00:56:53Wait, wait.
00:56:54I knew he was still in love with you. I knew it.
00:56:56You just came here and you ruined everything like I knew you would.
00:56:59Ruined what exactly?
00:57:01I know the truth, Trista. You and Craig were never together.
00:57:06And that's about to change, sweetie.
00:57:08Once those divorce papers are finalized, Craig will have no choice but to choose me.
00:57:13Besides, Natalie needs a mother.
00:57:16You want to be Natalie's mom?
00:57:18Well, not particularly, but I can pretend.
00:57:21At least until I send her off to boarding school.
00:57:23After all these years, her father and I deserve some alone time.
00:57:27I mean, don't you think?
00:57:29Don't you dare.
00:57:34Go back to New York, Hallie. None of this concerns of you anymore.
00:57:38I think I'll go comfort your husband now.
00:57:44He looks upset.
00:57:48Oh.
00:58:02Let me out! Somebody!
00:58:07I'm so sorry about that. I didn't realize Hallie would try to provoke you like that.
00:58:11Oh, Hallie was right.
00:58:13I should have told her about Natalie.
00:58:15It was unfair.
00:58:16I need to apologize for this.
00:58:18Do you? Because you and I both know what Hallie would have chosen all those years ago.
00:58:22And it wouldn't have been you and Matt.
00:58:23I don't, because I never gave her the chance.
00:58:26I did.
00:58:28What?
00:58:29All those years ago, I told her about Natalie.
00:58:36I... I don't understand.
00:58:39I care about you, Craig.
00:58:41And I would never, ever lie to you.
00:58:44I told her that you had a daughter together.
00:58:46And she never even tried to contact you.
00:58:49Did she?
00:58:54I'm so sorry I didn't tell you before, but I was just trying to protect you.
00:58:58She said that the last thing that she wanted was a daughter with you.
00:59:02She said that?
00:59:03Yes. In fact, she said that she didn't want any kids at all.
00:59:08Hallie was born to be a mother. That's all she's ever wanted.
00:59:11Is it?
00:59:14This is from the judge.
00:59:16She's planning on giving up full custody.
00:59:19She's going to New York.
00:59:20She has no interest in fighting for you or Natalie.
00:59:24But I do.
00:59:33What are you doing?
00:59:35I'm just trying to help you move on, Craig.
00:59:38Hallie will never choose you.
00:59:41But I will.
00:59:42It's not going to happen, Trista. It's not.
00:59:45Natalie, Natalie needs a mother.
00:59:47You know it and I know it.
00:59:49You need to move on, Craig, and come back to reality.
00:59:52Let me out!
00:59:55Hallie?
00:59:57What did you do to her?
00:59:59Nothing, nothing, nothing!
01:00:00This was a mistake.
01:00:02Having you help me out all those years ago is the biggest regret of my life.
01:00:06It's never going to happen, no matter what happens with me and Hallie.
01:00:13Okay.
01:00:17You want to play it like that?
01:00:19So be it.
01:00:25Hi!
01:00:26I'd like to speak to Senator Ned Vogel, please.
01:00:33Are you okay?
01:00:34Don't.
01:00:37Why do you care, Craig?
01:00:38Is everything you tell me a lie?
01:00:40What?
01:00:41I saw you kissing Trista!
01:00:43Don't try and deny it.
01:00:45You told me you loved me.
01:00:48I don't believe a word you say.
01:00:50Hallie, please, please believe me. That was a mistake.
01:00:53The only mistake I ever made was coming back here.
01:00:57I don't know what I thought I'd find.
01:01:00But now I know.
01:01:02I dodged a bullet seven years ago.
01:01:08Hi!
01:01:09I'd like to inform Senator Ned Vogel that his perfect little fiancé is cheating on him with her husband.
01:01:17Don't worry.
01:01:18I have pictures to prove it.
01:01:23No, this isn't a prank phone call.
01:01:26I have proof.
01:01:30What? No, I'm not lying!
01:01:33Hello?
01:01:34Hello?
01:01:35Hello?
01:01:38I guess I'll just have to go to the New York Post with this one.
01:01:41You're buried, Hallie.
01:01:45Ned, hi.
01:01:46Hallie, great news.
01:01:48I just got off the phone with my lawyer.
01:01:50He said because you're giving up custody, parenting class is unnecessary.
01:01:54So, you can sign the papers today and you'll be divorced by tomorrow.
01:01:58Tomorrow?
01:01:59Yeah.
01:02:01I already got us scheduled for a gala Saturday, a fundraising brunch on Sunday.
01:02:05I can't wait to get you back on my arm in that pretty little black dress of yours.
01:02:10Me either.
01:02:12Well, you don't sound very happy.
01:02:14It's just...
01:02:16What about Natalie?
01:02:17My daughter?
01:02:18What are you going to do, Hallie?
01:02:19Bring the kid with you to New York?
01:02:21Co-parent with your ex?
01:02:22No.
01:02:24Look, if we want to have a baby, we can have a baby.
01:02:27Together.
01:02:28But I'm not going to raise someone else's kids, okay?
01:02:31Just sign over the custody and divorce him.
01:02:34Today.
01:02:36There's nothing there for you anymore, Hallie.
01:02:39Not anymore.
01:02:43You're right. There's nothing left for me here.
01:02:47Hallie...
01:02:48I'm giving up custody and going back to New York.
01:02:52You win, Craig.
01:02:53Win?
01:02:54You never wanted me to be a part of Natalie's life.
01:02:57Or yours.
01:03:00Well, congratulations. You got your wish.
01:03:02Hallie, please just hear me out. That's not the full story.
01:03:05There is nothing yet you can say that will change anything.
01:03:08The damage is done.
01:03:11Let's just...
01:03:12sign the papers and end this marriage.
01:03:17Party one agrees to give up full custody.
01:03:20Correct?
01:03:22That's right.
01:03:23Okay, so regarding the parental rights of Natalie Hallie Brody...
01:03:28Hallie?
01:03:29Her middle name is Hallie?
01:03:31She's your daughter, too.
01:03:34She's your daughter, too.
01:03:36Mommy!
01:03:37Oh, Michael.
01:03:40She belongs here.
01:03:43I'm not going to raise someone else's kid.
01:03:47Ma'am.
01:03:49Please sign on the dotted line.
01:03:54It's really over.
01:04:10Now for the divorce papers.
01:04:21Is that it?
01:04:22Yes.
01:04:23Congratulations.
01:04:25In 24 hours, you'll be ex-husband and wife.
01:04:29It was nice being married to you, Hallie Bouldner.
01:04:34Wish I could say the same, Craig Brody.
01:04:42Lulu, um...
01:04:43I'll be back in the city by tonight.
01:04:45Rebook my meetings and...
01:04:47get me a pedicure appointment.
01:04:49Thank God.
01:04:50I thought you were never coming back.
01:04:52But then I remembered.
01:04:54You're Hallie Bouldner.
01:04:55Your work is your life.
01:04:58My life.
01:05:00Right.
01:05:05By the way, did you ever do that favor I asked?
01:05:08Oh, you mean that favor where I went to 50 different toy stores all over the city
01:05:12just for one special kid?
01:05:15Yes, I did.
01:05:17Which, might I ask, who is this special child?
01:05:22My daughter.
01:05:29A Monster Truck 300?
01:05:31This is the best present ever!
01:05:35Who's next?
01:05:36Damn, why don't you get Natalie's present over with?
01:05:39We all know it's gonna be the worst.
01:05:43Here it is! Look how tiny it is!
01:05:45Catch!
01:05:47Ooh!
01:05:51It's probably a gum wrapper.
01:05:53Or a half-eaten apple.
01:05:55She's so poor she probably can't afford anything else.
01:06:00Guys, be nice.
01:06:01At least it's not a tree branch like last time.
01:06:06It was a walking stick and my dad made it.
01:06:09That's right, your dad.
01:06:11Because where's your mom again?
01:06:13That's right, nowhere!
01:06:17Oops, I hope it wasn't fragile.
01:06:24It's a friendship bracelet.
01:06:26Friendship? We're not friends.
01:06:29That's so sad.
01:06:32I can't believe you actually invited this freak to your party.
01:06:36My mom forced me to.
01:06:38If you had a mom, she'd help you pick out a real present, not this dumb piece of string.
01:06:43I do have a mom.
01:06:46Then where is she?
01:06:48She lives in New York and she's a powerful CEO.
01:06:51Why do you make up a story like that?
01:06:53If your mom was a powerful CEO, she would give you better gifts than this!
01:06:59Momless loser!
01:07:01Momless loser!
01:07:03Momless loser!
01:07:05Momless loser!
01:07:07Momless loser!
01:07:09Momless loser!
01:07:11Momless loser!
01:07:14Nobody can take your power away from you except you.
01:07:18Don't ever forget that.
01:07:20You were wrong, Mommy, and you left me.
01:07:22You know what? Forget this!
01:07:33Hi, I have a delivery for Sam Baker.
01:07:36That's me!
01:07:39These must be for my uncle.
01:07:42He's super rich.
01:07:44Where do you think you're going?
01:07:46I never should have come. I'm getting out of here.
01:07:49Actually, you're going to stay here and watch what real presents look like.
01:07:54Yeah, and maybe next time you'll come up with something better than a stupid piece of string.
01:07:59A pickleball racket?
01:08:01Nintendo Switch?
01:08:03A build-your-own-bar kit?
01:08:05An e-scooter?
01:08:07A Monster Truck 400?
01:08:10These must cost a fortune!
01:08:13Uncle Rick is the best!
01:08:16Uh, actually, these gifts are from Natalie's mom.
01:08:23My mommy! She does love me!
01:08:26Wait! This has to be a prank! Natalie is just lying about her mom!
01:08:30She isn't real!
01:08:32Well, someone very real signed for these purchase orders herself.
01:08:35All $15,000 worth of them.
01:08:37$15,000?!
01:08:39How rich is she?!
01:08:41Like I said, she's a powerful CEO in New York,
01:08:44and she's too busy to care what you small-town losers think.
01:08:49Wait, no! Where are you going?
01:08:51It's okay, you can sit next to me.
01:08:53No! Sit next to me!
01:08:56I want to be friends with you if you pay me.
01:08:59Enjoy the presents, loser.
01:09:03And your cake is drying by the way!
01:09:11Daddy, I don't know if you can hear me,
01:09:16but I wanted you to know I'm going back to New York.
01:09:20Okay?
01:09:21You were right about Greg.
01:09:24He's a liar and a cheat.
01:09:27But the man I'm about to marry,
01:09:31he's rich, handsome, successful.
01:09:37Exactly.
01:09:39The kind of man you would want for me.
01:09:42I'll miss you, okay?
01:09:47You're running towards something.
01:09:49Back to your life.
01:09:51Go!
01:09:52Your father's in good hands, I promise.
01:09:55Would you look after Natalie for me?
01:09:57Of course.
01:10:01Okay.
01:10:13Hi.
01:10:15I think he was building her first classes to the left.
01:10:17Thank you so much.
01:10:19Mommy!
01:10:21Natalie, what are you doing here?
01:10:23I'm coming with you to New York.
01:10:27The flight departs in one minute.
01:10:33Come on, Natalie.
01:10:35I'll take you home.
01:10:42Oh my God!
01:10:44Where'd you find her?
01:10:45She was at the airport.
01:10:47Airport?
01:10:48I wanted to go to New York City with Mommy.
01:10:51She knows Greg.
01:10:55Okay.
01:10:56Natalie, can you give us a minute?
01:10:58Okay, Daddy.
01:11:00Thank you for bringing her back.
01:11:02Of course.
01:11:05But before I go, I have a favor to ask you.
01:11:09Anything.
01:11:11Find Natalie a mother.
01:11:13Just make sure it's not Trista.
01:11:16Okay?
01:11:18Okay.
01:11:21Bye.
01:11:23Bye.
01:11:48After all these years, he never gave up on us.
01:11:53You probably could have come up with something better.
01:11:56No, it's perfect.
01:12:01How long have you been working on this?
01:12:04A few years now.
01:12:07Ever since I left?
01:12:10Maybe.
01:12:13But why?
01:12:16I don't know.
01:12:20But why?
01:12:24I couldn't let our dream die just because our marriage did.
01:12:28That crazy dream?
01:12:31It doesn't look so crazy anymore, does it?
01:12:34No, it doesn't.
01:12:36Ellie, not a day goes by where I don't think about you.
01:12:42And I know, I know you won't believe a word I say,
01:12:45but I thought maybe you'd believe something you could see.
01:12:56Is that us?
01:12:59Yeah, it is.
01:13:07I love you, and I never stopped.
01:13:15I love you, too.
01:13:26I've missed this for so long.
01:13:28I've wanted this for so long.
01:13:31No.
01:13:33No, we have to stop.
01:13:36But the papers are signed, Craig.
01:13:39I'm engaged to someone else.
01:13:42It's too late to turn the clock back now.
01:13:46Send me a picture when the town's rebuilt, okay?
01:13:49That's the thing, it won't be.
01:13:53What? What do you mean?
01:13:56I got this in the mail today.
01:13:58My plans were approved, but Dirk Diggle bought off all the local contractors,
01:14:03and I can't afford anyone else, so I'm going to have to rescind my offer.
01:14:08No, you can't do that.
01:14:10I have to. I don't have a choice.
01:14:13What if I said I could help?
01:14:20I could help.
01:14:23Go back to New York, Allie.
01:14:25Don't worry about someone's tiny little dream in a nowhere town.
01:14:31This was our dream, Craig.
01:14:36Besides, you helped me out with Dirk Diggle once.
01:14:41She said she's not interested, bro.
01:14:45Now let me help you.
01:14:56Lulu.
01:14:58Change of plans.
01:15:00Send all of our best contractors to Franklin, Tennessee.
01:15:03Also, cancel my pedicure appointment.
01:15:11Have you come to withdraw your application, Craig?
01:15:14I knew you couldn't afford it.
01:15:16Actually, I just came to give you the deposit.
01:15:19We break ground tomorrow.
01:15:22We?
01:15:24We said we would fix this town up.
01:15:27And that is exactly what we're going to do.
01:15:33I never thought I'd see the day where our dream became a reality.
01:15:37It was always your dream.
01:15:39I was just happy to help.
01:15:42Lulu! Oh my god.
01:15:46Wow, boss. No wonder you never came back.
01:15:49You never told me your husband was a stone cold hog.
01:15:52Oh. Ex-husband.
01:15:55Right.
01:15:59Allie.
01:16:01Ned. Hi.
01:16:04What are you doing here? I told you I would be back next week.
01:16:07You want to tell me what the meaning of this is?
01:16:14You told me there was nothing going on between you two.
01:16:17Are you trying to embarrass me on a national stage?
01:16:20No. No, Ned. I am so sorry.
01:16:24Is your campaign okay?
01:16:26It's fine for now.
01:16:28Luckily, this is just a mock-up.
01:16:30Post gave it to us before going to press.
01:16:32Get in.
01:16:34I am taking you home.
01:16:37Ned, I told you this project is important.
01:16:40Allie, you build multi-billion dollar skyscrapers.
01:16:43Not whatever this is.
01:16:46This matters.
01:16:48A sad little shopping mall in a sad little town?
01:16:52Come on, Allie.
01:16:54You're better than this.
01:16:56What's that supposed to mean?
01:16:58Being back here has you confused.
01:17:01You don't know what you want.
01:17:03You don't know who you really are anymore.
01:17:05But this is your past.
01:17:09I am your future.
01:17:11Remember?
01:17:13You still want to marry me?
01:17:16Even after that?
01:17:17Yes.
01:17:18In fact, I want to move the wedding up.
01:17:20Let's get married right now.
01:17:25Let's get married right now.
01:17:27Now?
01:17:28Um...
01:17:30Excuse me.
01:17:34Hey.
01:17:35Seeing these photos, it made me realize how much you mean to me.
01:17:40I can't lose you, Allie.
01:17:42I don't want to lose you.
01:17:44Please.
01:17:45Marry me.
01:17:49You're gonna marry her?
01:17:52She was cheating on you.
01:17:56Who are you?
01:17:57I'm the woman that took these photos.
01:18:00So, you admit to sabotaging a political campaign.
01:18:03What?
01:18:05No.
01:18:06Ma'am, you're lucky the senator doesn't press charges.
01:18:08Come with me.
01:18:09What? No! No! No!
01:18:11You will not win this one, Allie!
01:18:13No! Don't touch me!
01:18:17Dad, this all just feels a little fast.
01:18:21Yeah, but is it, Allie?
01:18:22What are we waiting for?
01:18:26What are we waiting for?
01:18:30I don't know.
01:18:32Quit fucking around and marry me already.
01:18:35What's the rush, Ned? I...
01:18:37The Post agreed to kill the cheating story if we give them something better.
01:18:42Something like?
01:18:44A wedding, for example.
01:18:47You want to marry me for a story?
01:18:50Come on, Allie.
01:18:52We're gonna get married anyway. What difference does it make?
01:18:55This whole thing?
01:18:58Just a publicity stunt?
01:19:00Our engagement?
01:19:02Our relationship?
01:19:03No. Of course not. I love you.
01:19:06Then what's my favorite color, Ned?
01:19:09Oh, come on, Allie.
01:19:11My favorite flower?
01:19:15My favorite flower?
01:19:16I don't know. Roses? Does it even matter?
01:19:19Yes, it does.
01:19:22I'm sorry, Ned, but I can't marry you.
01:19:28Yes, you can.
01:19:30Because if you don't, I can make your life very difficult.
01:19:34Starting with those big city contracts you just won.
01:19:37I spent years of blood, sweat, and tears to get those contracts.
01:19:41And once I'm elected, I can make them all go poof.
01:19:45I have friends in very high places, Allie.
01:19:48No, you wouldn't dare. I worked my entire career for those.
01:19:52Well, then the answer is simple.
01:19:54Marry me, or lose everything.
01:19:58Come on, Allie. This is not a difficult choice.
01:20:02You're hurting me.
01:20:03If you think this is pain, you haven't felt anything yet.
01:20:06Get off!
01:20:07Neither have you.
01:20:19My suit. My jaw.
01:20:22You broke my face.
01:20:24Good. Looks better that way, in my opinion.
01:20:28I'll have you arrested for assaulting a government official.
01:20:31There isn't a cop who will side with you over me. Not in this town.
01:20:36And by the way, her favorite color is blue, and her favorite flower is the marigold.
01:20:43Because it blooms from spring to fall.
01:20:46There you go.
01:20:48I hope that suit wasn't too expensive.
01:20:50This suit is worth more than you make in a year.
01:20:53Isn't that something?
01:20:55It's time for you to leave, Senator.
01:20:57Come on, Allie. You're not going to give up everything just for some pathetic small-town nobody.
01:21:04Yeah, he may be from a small town, but he is not a nobody.
01:21:11In fact, if I had to choose a son-in-law, I'd pick him over you any day of the week.
01:21:16Daddy.
01:21:19Allie, I am so sorry for everything.
01:21:22Starting with meddling in your marriage.
01:21:25Meddling?
01:21:27I'm the one that made Craig divorce you.
01:21:29I told him if he really loved you, he'd let you go.
01:21:33He did.
01:21:36I thought you deserved more than a small town, more than a local boy like him.
01:21:43She does, sir.
01:21:45Come on, Allie.
01:21:47He divorced you. He gave up a daughter for you.
01:21:50So what if I want to marry you for a story?
01:21:53People get married for worse reasons.
01:21:55And they get divorced for better ones.
01:21:58I don't care what you think, old man.
01:22:01Allie, you're coming with me.
01:22:02You stay away from my daughter.
01:22:04Allie, I am not leaving.
01:22:06You owe it to me to go through with this wedding.
01:22:09I've had about enough of people telling me who I should and shouldn't marry.
01:22:16Get out of here, Ned.
01:22:18It's over between us.
01:22:23Get out of here, Ned.
01:22:25It's over between us.
01:22:28Fine.
01:22:30I hope you know what you're giving up, Allie.
01:22:34I most certainly do.
01:22:41It was too big anyway.
01:22:45Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:22:47What about me?
01:22:48I'll marry you.
01:22:50I'm sure the post would love to see me in a wedding gown.
01:22:54And I would look way better than Allie ever would.
01:22:57Not in a million years.
01:23:00Oh my gosh!
01:23:01Ew!
01:23:02Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!
01:23:06Oh my gosh, I can't see me like this.
01:23:12I owe you both an apology for trying to play God.
01:23:16Daddy.
01:23:17Hear me out.
01:23:18When I was in the hospital, I hooked up to all those machines.
01:23:22I just, I kept having the same wonderful dream.
01:23:26This dream where you were still together.
01:23:29This dream where you were both living the life you deserve.
01:23:33I took that future and that life away from you.
01:23:38Allie, Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:23:43Allie, Craig never wanted to divorce you.
01:23:46How?
01:23:49This should be enough for me.
01:23:51I want her on that plane, alone.
01:23:54Whatever it takes.
01:23:56I tried to pay him off.
01:24:01And this is what he did with the money.
01:24:04I've never seen someone work so hard for love.
01:24:07Is this true, Craig?
01:24:12Why didn't you just tell me?
01:24:15Because I didn't want you to hate your father.
01:24:17Or blame him when you just thought he was doing what was right.
01:24:21You were protecting me.
01:24:23That's right.
01:24:25You two are the only family you have left.
01:24:29Unless...
01:24:33You let me be a part of your family again?
01:24:37Now, I know this ring isn't exactly as big as your old one.
01:24:42But, um...
01:24:44You can make me the happiest man in the world if you marry me.
01:24:48Again.
01:24:49Yeah?
01:24:50Yes!
01:24:51Yes, Craig, I'll marry you!
01:24:53Oh, perfect fit!
01:25:00It always was.
01:25:03Mommy, Daddy, I knew you'd come back together.
01:25:06Oh, she did.
01:25:07All right, come on.
01:25:08Up we go.
01:25:09Dale, that wasn't such a crazy dream.
01:25:12I'd like you to meet your granddaughter, Natalie Halle Brody.
01:25:16My dream came true.
01:25:18Hi, Grandpa.
01:25:20Halle.
01:25:21This is crazy, but if we run, we can make it to the town clerk before it closes.
01:25:26I do not want to be divorced from you one second longer.
01:25:29Me either.
01:25:30Yeah?
01:25:31Yeah.
01:25:32Okay, what do we think?
01:25:33Who's up for a wedding?
01:25:35Yeah?
01:25:36Yeah?
01:25:37Yeah?
01:25:38Yeah?
01:25:42Hi.
01:25:43Um, we would like to get remarried.
01:25:47I can't accept your remarriage.
01:25:50That's ridiculous.
01:25:52Uh, what?
01:25:53Why?
01:25:54I can't accept your remarriage.
01:25:56That's ridiculous.
01:25:58Uh, what?
01:25:59Why?
01:26:00Well, because you were never really divorced in the first place.
01:26:03Look right here.
01:26:04You signed your name Halle Bildner.
01:26:07But your name is, and always has been, Halle Brody.
01:26:11Will you look at that?
01:26:14Wait, so, um, that means the custody papers?
01:26:19Well, that's, uh, that's void.
01:26:23So, you're still Natalie's parent.
01:26:28Mommy!
01:26:32Daddy.
01:26:35I forgive you.
01:26:49I've got seven years to make up for it.
01:27:04I just want to thank you all for your faith in me.
01:27:08And as your new mayor, I promise to work tirelessly to bring this town back to what it once was.
01:27:15Starting with the community center that Craig and Halle so generously built.
01:27:23We love you, Mayor Morgenthau.
01:27:25Love you.
01:27:33What do you think we should talk to them?
01:27:39Looks like they found a story to replace me with after all.
01:27:43Is there really going to be a rapier?
01:27:46Yes.
01:27:47We're going to be one big happy family.
