Short filmTranscript
00:00:30But, Ray, you've been advertising at the Herald for over 20 years.
00:00:41You're right.
00:00:42We did have a lot more advertisers 20 years ago, but I...
00:00:47Sure.
00:00:48I understand.
00:00:49I'm going to be late for school.
00:00:53Have you ever been late for school, Zach?
00:00:55Even once?
00:00:56No, but...
00:00:57Then let's hustle.
00:00:58Hey, Molly.
00:00:59Printed those flyers for you.
00:01:00Thanks, Vince.
00:01:01Welcome.
00:01:02Oh, these look great.
00:01:03So, how'd it go with Ray?
00:01:04Coffee?
00:01:05Yeah.
00:01:06Yeah.
00:01:07We'll be back.
00:01:08Okay.
00:01:09Bye.
00:01:10Bye.
00:01:11Bye.
00:01:12Bye.
00:01:13Bye.
00:01:14Bye.
00:01:15Bye.
00:01:16Bye.
00:01:17Bye.
00:01:18Bye.
00:01:19Bye.
00:01:20Bye.
00:01:21Bye.
00:01:22Bye.
00:01:23Bye.
00:01:24Bye.
00:01:25Bye.
00:01:26Bye.
00:01:28Not that bad, huh?
00:01:29Yeah.
00:01:30A little too bad.
00:01:33Okay.
00:01:49Well, we're really going to miss that half-page lobster shanghaian.
00:01:53It's all my fault.
00:01:54It's my job to find advertisers, not lose them.
00:01:57Okay, well, you're also my best friend,
00:01:59and it's not your job to perform miracles, okay?
00:02:02Look, why don't you take some time off?
00:02:04Do some painting.
00:02:05I haven't painted in years.
00:02:07Exactly.
00:02:08Maybe now's the perfect time to pick up the brush again.
00:02:11Are you firing me?
00:02:13No, but until I can boost our readership,
00:02:16nobody's gonna want to advertise with us.
00:02:18Besides, I've got one more trick up my sleeve,
00:02:21and if it works,
00:02:22we're gonna need you back sooner than you think.
00:02:26Anything I can do to help?
00:02:28You're our last local business that hasn't pulled their ad, Mom.
00:02:31You're doing enough already.
00:02:35So, what's the trick up your sleeve?
00:02:37Oh, well, I have some very important business to discuss with you.
00:02:41His name is Andrew.
00:02:43He works in procurement.
00:02:44I told you, no more matchmaking.
00:02:46He works in the cheese industry.
00:02:48The cheese guy?
00:02:49You set us up last year. It was a disaster.
00:02:52Oh, my gosh.
00:02:53Have I tried setting you up with so many men
00:02:55that I've inadvertently returned to the start of my list?
00:02:58After Daniel, I had enough of your matchmaking.
00:03:01Okay, well, just because it didn't work out with Daniel
00:03:03doesn't mean it won't work out with the next guy.
00:03:05Zoe, we dated for a month,
00:03:06and then he skipped town on Christmas Eve.
00:03:09Zoe broke your heart.
00:03:11It happens.
00:03:12He didn't break my heart.
00:03:14He broke Zach's, and that's unforgivable.
00:03:18Excuse me.
00:03:19Hi, I saw you dropping these off.
00:03:20I just wondered what it was.
00:03:22It's Molly's Mommy Mixer, or Triple M for short.
00:03:25So it's like a social group for moms.
00:03:27Exactly.
00:03:28Single, married, young, old, everyone's welcome.
00:03:31And you're meeting tonight?
00:03:33Yeah, you should totally come.
00:03:35I saw something on here about a contest.
00:03:38Don't get her started about the contest.
00:03:40Modern Parenting Magazine's Group of the Year Award.
00:03:42The parenting group that raises the most amount of money
00:03:44for the NPM charity gets a crown this week.
00:03:46And we've got a fun run planned for this weekend.
00:03:49Great, maybe I'll see you there.
00:03:51I hope so.
00:03:55Okay, you do know when you talk about Triple M,
00:03:57you sound like a cult leader?
00:03:59If I'm going to win this contest,
00:04:00I'm going to need all the help I can get.
00:04:02Oh, did I tell you about Ashley?
00:04:04Ashley?
00:04:05She emailed me yesterday.
00:04:06Just moved to town.
00:04:07She's coming tonight.
00:04:09Get this.
00:04:10She's a social media expert.
00:04:11She could be exactly what Triple M needs to win this contest.
00:04:15Yeah, sounds perfect.
00:04:22You can't put the dips there.
00:04:24Why not?
00:04:25Because when someone dips a chip,
00:04:28they'll have to maneuver an overloaded chip
00:04:30right over the brownies,
00:04:31risking unwanted dip drip.
00:04:33Dip drip?
00:04:34Mm-hmm.
00:04:36That'll be your fun run outfit I ordered for you.
00:04:52Thank you so much.
00:04:55You have a little helper.
00:04:57That's adorable.
00:04:58Actually, I, um...
00:05:13You want to cover me in cupcakes for the fun run?
00:05:16Sure.
00:05:18You want to cover me in cupcakes for the fun run?
00:05:31Allow me to introduce you to the trick up my sleeve.
00:05:35Molly, this is Ashley.
00:05:38Ashley, this is Molly.
00:05:40Call me Ash.
00:05:42And my little helper is Sophie.
00:05:46Hi, what's your name?
00:05:48Zach.
00:05:49You're Ashley?
00:05:50Guilty.
00:05:51Zoe hired me to boost the Herald's readership.
00:05:54When she told me about Triple M,
00:05:56I thought it'd be the perfect way to meet some fellow parents.
00:05:59Isn't it, though?
00:06:00Make yourself at home.
00:06:01You want to come see my room?
00:06:09How are you?
00:06:11Hi.
00:06:16Way cuter than the cheese guy.
00:06:21I'm sorry.
00:06:23It's just, he's exactly what the Herald needs, okay?
00:06:26Give him a chance.
00:06:28This is Triple M, Zoe.
00:06:30Second M stands for mommy.
00:06:32Correct me if I'm wrong, but that man, not a mommy.
00:06:35Okay, well, maybe it's time you bent the rules a little.
00:06:39Wait, you broke his nose with a Frisbee?
00:06:42I've known Mark since college.
00:06:44He may be a tech genius, but he couldn't catch a cold.
00:06:47Oh.
00:06:49And you made these yourself?
00:06:51Those?
00:06:52Oh, yeah, I love to bake.
00:06:54They're delicious.
00:06:55Molly, did you get one?
00:06:57No, thanks.
00:06:58I actually made the brownies over there.
00:07:01Oh, I see.
00:07:03I'm sorry.
00:07:05I actually made the brownies over there.
00:07:10So, how are you settling in?
00:07:12Great.
00:07:13Friendly locals, beautiful scenery, perfect running routes.
00:07:17Oh, you run, too?
00:07:19Of course he does.
00:07:20Can I get anyone to...
00:07:21Let me get this straight.
00:07:23You run, bake, look fabulous, and you're single?
00:07:27Well, I don't like to blow my own horn.
00:07:29You just became the most desirable bachelor
00:07:32and this person won five grand in a scratch-off.
00:07:36This is a beautiful painting.
00:07:38Local artist?
00:07:40You could say that.
00:07:42Right, Molly?
00:07:44You painted this?
00:07:46Didn't take me for the creative type.
00:07:49She gets that a lot.
00:07:50I've been trying to get her to go back to painting for years,
00:07:53but she continues to ignore me.
00:07:55You really should.
00:07:57There's a real market for this sort of stuff.
00:07:59This sort of stuff?
00:08:01I just mean a more traditional art.
00:08:04I'll clear some space.
00:08:12I should have told you about Ash.
00:08:14You should have.
00:08:15I don't like him.
00:08:17You just met him.
00:08:19He makes a strong first impression.
00:08:21Congratulations on making it a little over five hours
00:08:25on your no matchmaking promise.
00:08:27I'm not matchmaking.
00:08:29Sure.
00:08:30Molly, can't you just let your guard down
00:08:32even just a little bit?
00:08:34My guard is not up.
00:08:36Molly, your guard is so far up,
00:08:39you can't even see over the top.
00:08:48Fundraising's changed.
00:08:49The days of yard sales, fun runs, and bake-offs
00:08:52are in the past.
00:08:53It's all about the digital sphere now.
00:08:55I'm not sure the digital sphere
00:08:57has quite made it to Havenbrook.
00:08:59Exactly.
00:09:00People here prefer a personal touch.
00:09:02I think that's a common misconception.
00:09:05What is?
00:09:06That small towns aren't ready
00:09:08to embrace the digital revolution.
00:09:10The digital revolution?
00:09:12You sound like an extra from The Matrix.
00:09:15Just like traditional methods
00:09:17won't increase the Herald's readership,
00:09:19old-fashioned fundraising won't win you that contest.
00:09:22Trust me.
00:09:28Why is everything so organized?
00:09:33My mom likes it that way.
00:09:36Do you like it that way?
00:09:39It sounds to me like your mom needs to lighten up a little.
00:09:43Thank you guys so much for coming.
00:09:45It was so great to see you.
00:09:47Oh, of course.
00:09:48Good to see you.
00:09:51Sophie, let's go.
00:09:53Sorry if I came on a little strong
00:09:55about the fundraising thing.
00:09:57Can't say I noticed.
00:09:59Buy you coffee tomorrow?
00:10:01We could have a brainstorm.
00:10:03Seriously, I think I can help.
00:10:05I think that's a very kind offer,
00:10:07and it would be rude not to accept.
00:10:09Mm-hmm.
00:10:10Seconded.
00:10:20Sophie said let's write ice cream for breakfast.
00:10:23That's nutritionally irresponsible.
00:10:28Maybe you need to lighten up a little.
00:10:53♪
00:11:24♪
00:11:50So you're like a fixer?
00:11:52Yeah, that term's a little reductive.
00:11:54My job is to analyze the digital footprint of an organization,
00:11:57see where it's working, see where it's not.
00:11:59You know what I mean?
00:12:02Ash is here to kickstart our social media presence,
00:12:05engage with the entire community,
00:12:07bring back our old readers, find new ones.
00:12:09What can we do to help?
00:12:11First thing I'd like to do is walk around,
00:12:14really breathe the place in.
00:12:16Anyone want to be my tour guide?
00:12:19I was actually thinking Molly.
00:12:21You were?
00:12:22You can grab a cup of coffee,
00:12:24you can show me around town,
00:12:26we can talk about your fundraising.
00:12:38You know, it's real cool.
00:12:42It's a little reductive, Charlie.
00:12:46Across the street is the Lobster Shack,
00:12:48owned by Charlie's dad.
00:12:50Havenbrook Bookstore, owned by Zoe's uncle.
00:12:53Conservatory, owned by Vince's brother.
00:12:57Have you always lived here?
00:12:59Not always.
00:13:00I moved to the city after college.
00:13:03What brought you back?
00:13:06Um, my husband passed away,
00:13:09right after Zach was born.
00:13:11Just felt like the right time to come here.
00:13:14So sorry to hear that.
00:13:17Um, and lastly, the Fountain,
00:13:20owned by my mom and our last remaining advertiser.
00:13:45Oh.
00:13:46Sorry.
00:13:48Uh, so what was your last client?
00:13:53Ever heard of a graffiti artist named Propaganda?
00:13:56I'm not really into that kind of art.
00:13:58I'm more traditional, remember?
00:14:02Well, he's Brooklyn's answer to Banksy.
00:14:05Real identity, cloak within mystery.
00:14:08He hired me to shape his digital profile,
00:14:10inflate his prices,
00:14:11He hired me to shape his digital profile,
00:14:13inflate his price tags.
00:14:15And it worked?
00:14:17Just at his first show.
00:14:18Every piece sold for six figures.
00:14:21But you know who he is, right?
00:14:23I mean, you must have met him.
00:14:28This is highly classified information
00:14:30that could ruin his career.
00:14:32He's actually a middle-aged geography teacher
00:14:36from Pennsylvania named Propaganda.
00:14:40Must be interesting, having so many different clients.
00:14:44It is.
00:14:45I love the work,
00:14:46but the short-term contracts aren't exactly ideal.
00:14:50How short-term?
00:14:52A couple weeks, sometimes a few months.
00:14:55It means we move around a lot, so.
00:14:58So how long is your contract here?
00:15:01Six weeks.
00:15:02Then it's off to Alaska.
00:15:05Alaska?
00:15:06Yep.
00:15:07Coleman's Cannery
00:15:08has been canning Alaskan salmon for 70 years.
00:15:11Without me, they might not make it to 71.
00:15:16That must be hard,
00:15:18traveling around with Sophie so much.
00:15:21She's fine.
00:15:23We'll settle down eventually,
00:15:25when the right opportunity comes along.
00:15:31So, let's talk fundraising.
00:15:34Actually, I should probably get back to the office.
00:15:37You know, small-town historic newspaper
00:15:39on the verge of folding.
00:15:41I should probably do some work.
00:15:43Well, when's the next Triple M meet-up?
00:15:45Maybe we could talk then?
00:15:47I'm afraid I won't be able to approve
00:15:49your Triple M membership.
00:15:51Really?
00:15:53Why not?
00:15:54Isn't it obvious?
00:15:55The middle M stands for Mommy.
00:15:58Isn't that a little exclusionary?
00:16:00Yes.
00:16:01I mean, no.
00:16:02We...
00:16:03Thanks for the coffee.
00:16:11Forgetting something?
00:16:33Maybe she thought
00:16:35you were just trying to be romantic.
00:16:37Romantic?
00:16:39I accidentally touched her hand
00:16:42and then helped her into her coat.
00:16:44Ugh.
00:17:03I'm not interested in you romantically.
00:17:07Great.
00:17:08I'm not interested in you romantically either.
00:17:11Fantastic.
00:17:12I just wanted to clear that up.
00:17:13I didn't want you getting the wrong idea or anything.
00:17:15I'm personable.
00:17:16Nothing more.
00:17:18I'm just sitting down to dinner,
00:17:20so if that's all I'm just...
00:17:21Now that we have that romantic misunderstanding cleared up,
00:17:23I'm assuming you'll be happy
00:17:24to approve my Triple M membership.
00:17:27You can't get rid of me that easily.
00:17:33That was mean.
00:17:35I'm going now.
00:17:47Oh, well, you seem jauntier than usual.
00:17:50It's unsettling.
00:17:51Can I just get a coffee to go, please?
00:17:54You let him put these here?
00:17:56I can't discriminate
00:17:57against another parenting group, Molly.
00:17:59It would be unethical.
00:18:02Don't you want your coffee?
00:18:12You can't be serious.
00:18:14Okay, no, Ash was serious.
00:18:16I'm serious.
00:18:18I'm serious.
00:18:20You can't be serious.
00:18:22Okay, no, Ash was just explaining...
00:18:24Explaining what?
00:18:25I had a brain wave last night.
00:18:27Sounds painful.
00:18:29Two parenting groups,
00:18:30mostly made up of Harold employees,
00:18:32both competing for the Group of the Year award.
00:18:36Think of the publicity, the online traffic.
00:18:39People are going to love it.
00:18:43How can you possibly expect to win the contest
00:18:45when you don't even have any members?
00:18:48I actually approved the application
00:18:50for two members this morning.
00:18:56We've been fundraising for months,
00:18:58and the contest closes next week.
00:19:00You can't really believe you can win.
00:19:02Remember when I told you that yard sales,
00:19:05bake-offs, and fun runs were a thing of the past?
00:19:08Bring it on.
00:19:11Now you're talking.
00:19:14Are you ready to fun run till you drop?
00:19:18That doesn't exactly sound like fun.
00:19:21Forget fun. This is war.
00:19:24Aren't you taking this a little too seriously, Molly?
00:19:27I'm taking this with exactly the right amount of seriousness.
00:19:30Sounds like you aren't taking this seriously enough.
00:19:33It's just a contest, Molly.
00:19:35It's not just a contest.
00:19:37It's everything I've been working towards
00:19:39for the past few months.
00:19:40And he thinks he can just waltz right in and snatch it from me?
00:19:43Not on my watch.
00:19:45Okay, easy, girl. Let's just...
00:19:48Are you sure that you can beat him?
00:19:51I mean, it sounded very impressive the other night.
00:19:54You want to join Triple-A, Mom?
00:19:56Well, to be honest, it's tempting.
00:19:59I know exactly how to win this thing. Trust me.
00:20:03I know exactly how to win this thing. Trust me.
00:20:06Talk to me. What can I use?
00:20:08A car.
00:20:09That's not what I meant. I have a car.
00:20:11I just meant skill, talent.
00:20:14What is your USP?
00:20:18I used to tap.
00:20:22As in tap dance? Are you serious?
00:20:24I was under-18 state champ three years in a row.
00:20:28Uh, tapper's heel.
00:20:30Putting an end to what could have been a promising career.
00:20:33Why didn't I know this about you?
00:20:35You know, that's real awesome.
00:20:37Tapper's heel?
00:20:39It's like tennis elbow, but, you know, in the heel.
00:20:43You can still tap, though, right?
00:20:45Not at a competitive level, but, yeah, I can still dance.
00:20:50But I haven't put the shoes on in years.
00:20:52But you still have the shoes.
00:20:54They're in the trunk of my car.
00:20:56Look, I promised Zoey I'd throw them out, okay?
00:20:59I just haven't been able to bring myself to do it.
00:21:02Will you tap for me, Vince?
00:21:04Will you tap for Ash's Awesome Alliance?
00:21:13Okay.
00:21:17Molly said that your dad owns a restaurant called The Lobster Shack.
00:21:20Uh, yeah, yeah, that's right.
00:21:22Okay. We can use that.
00:21:24I'm just not sure how.
00:21:27Uh, I'm not really sure that we can.
00:21:30I haven't really spoken to my dad in about six months.
00:21:33Why? What happened?
00:21:35Um, he wanted me to join the family business,
00:21:39and so it was a different route.
00:21:45You're artistic, creative.
00:21:48He doesn't understand that.
00:21:50He thinks that you turned your back on him,
00:21:53and you think he turned his back on you.
00:21:57Uh, yeah, um, that's exactly correct.
00:22:01Sometimes you just need a third party to turn your back around.
00:22:05Look each other in the eye again.
00:22:07I can be that person for you, Charlie.
00:22:13I got him.
00:22:19It is all about momentum.
00:22:21First, we smash the fun run.
00:22:23Then we roll right into the double whammy of the bake-off and the yard sale.
00:22:27I don't care how digital his sphere is.
00:22:29I don't care how digital his sphere is.
00:22:31He's not topping that.
00:22:33Yeah.
00:22:36Um, you might want to see this.
00:22:39Ash just started a live stream from the Herald social account.
00:22:43Ladies and gentlemen, forget the rumble in the jungle or the thriller in Manila.
00:22:47This is a right hook in Havenbrook, and it's the battle of the century.
00:22:51It's Molly's Mommy Mixer versus Ash's Awesome Alliance,
00:22:55competing for Modern Parenting Magazine's Group of the Year Award.
00:22:58Now, if you want to play it safe, then put on your old-timey bonnet
00:23:02and hitch your horse-drawn cart to Triple M.
00:23:04Old-timey bonnet?
00:23:06Horse-drawn cart? He's good.
00:23:09But if you want something new, something fresh,
00:23:12then jump on board a Triple A bullet train.
00:23:15Destination Awesome.
00:23:17To kick things off, we've got a former state champion tap dancer
00:23:20tapping up a storm right here, right now.
00:23:26Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
00:23:29He is really good.
00:23:32That's right, folks. A 24-hour nonstop tap-a-thon,
00:23:35streaming live from the Herald.
00:23:37Donate now in the link in our profile to keep Vince tapping.
00:23:40He's going to get every cent you've got.
00:23:42How you doing, Vince?
00:23:45Let's get this party started!
00:23:50Oh, I've got to see this.
00:23:52Wait, seriously?
00:23:54Oh, yeah.
00:23:56Okay, well, wait!
00:24:03You can't possibly tap for 24 hours.
00:24:06You get a blister after 20 minutes.
00:24:08I feel like I could dance for a week.
00:24:12I'll get him some fluids.
00:24:14You might want to order an ambulance while you're at it.
00:24:25Whoa!
00:24:37Ding, ding, ding, ding! Seconds out.
00:24:39I didn't agree to any of this.
00:24:41Come on, you know it makes sense.
00:24:43It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
00:24:45The metrics and I would have to agree to disagree.
00:24:47He's right, Molly.
00:24:49Ash's video has already been shared more in the last 20 minutes
00:24:52than anything we've posted this entire year.
00:24:54And we just got our first donation.
00:24:56Seriously?
00:24:58From China.
00:24:59From China?
00:25:01How is that even possible?
00:25:03They're sleeping!
00:25:05Never underestimate the digital sphere, Molly.
00:25:07I'm about to grab your digital spheres
00:25:09and launch you right out that window.
00:25:11That is perfect.
00:25:13Say it again.
00:25:15What are you doing? Put that away.
00:25:17And now a word from Molly Jackson,
00:25:19creator of Triple M and my arch nemesis.
00:25:21Arch nemesis?
00:25:23How does it feel, Molly?
00:25:25How does what feel?
00:25:27To know that Triple A is gaining on you, cent by cent, dollar by dollar.
00:25:29Stop it.
00:25:31Gloves are truly off now, folks.
00:25:33Donate now to Triple A.
00:25:35Come on, Charlie. Phase two starts now.
00:25:38He's insane.
00:25:40He's actually insane.
00:25:45I just need a few minutes of your time, Ray.
00:25:48I already told Molly I'm not renewing the ads
00:25:50until someone actually reads The Herald again.
00:25:53I'm not here for the advertisements, Ray.
00:25:55I'm here for Charlie.
00:25:57I'm here to make things right.
00:25:59If Charlie wanted to make things right,
00:26:01he would have done it himself.
00:26:03I'm here for Charlie.
00:26:05If Charlie wanted to make things right,
00:26:07he could have come here himself.
00:26:09He did.
00:26:11He's out front.
00:26:15What are you?
00:26:17Some kind of fixer?
00:26:19That term's a little reductive.
00:26:28Arch nemesis.
00:26:30Arch nemesis?
00:26:32How does it feel, Molly?
00:26:34I'm happy he's...
00:26:36I can't believe he posted it already.
00:26:38Ugh!
00:26:40So you really still think we can win this thing?
00:26:42We have to.
00:26:44He'll be even more insufferable if we don't.
00:26:46If that's even possible.
00:26:48Stop.
00:27:02If I'd known how much this photography thing
00:27:04meant to you,
00:27:06I never would have stood in your way.
00:27:08Yeah, I should have made that clear.
00:27:12I didn't give you the chance.
00:27:18I love you, Dad.
00:27:20I love you, too, son.
00:27:32Hey, Ray?
00:27:36Can I borrow that?
00:27:49That's not fair.
00:27:51What's not fair?
00:27:53You know I'm not going to turn you away
00:27:55when Sophie's with you.
00:27:57Told you it would work.
00:27:59Hi, Molly.
00:28:01Hi, Sophie. Zack's upstairs.
00:28:05I want you to know that this rivalry thing
00:28:07is just for show.
00:28:09Are you sure about that?
00:28:11It's a theatrical narrative
00:28:13purely meant to drive online traffic.
00:28:15Which is working,
00:28:17if you hadn't noticed.
00:28:19Oh, I've noticed.
00:28:29So what did you do in the city
00:28:31before you moved to Havenbrook?
00:28:33Same thing I do here,
00:28:35except for a national magazine.
00:28:37That must have been a big culture shock.
00:28:39Not really.
00:28:41Selling ad space to a global brand
00:28:43isn't really that different
00:28:45from a lobster shack.
00:28:47Still just two people talking.
00:28:49Not that I've been doing
00:28:51a very good job of that recently.
00:28:53Hence the reason you're
00:28:55currently sitting on my couch.
00:28:57It's not your fault Harold
00:28:59lost its ad revenue, Molly.
00:29:01That's what Zoe keeps telling me.
00:29:03And she's right.
00:29:05No one wants to advertise
00:29:07in a newspaper that nobody reads.
00:29:09You really think you can turn it around?
00:29:11I wouldn't be here if I didn't.
00:29:15Do you miss it?
00:29:17Miss what?
00:29:19The job. The city.
00:29:21Everything.
00:29:23Sometimes.
00:29:25But there were too many memories there.
00:29:27Most of them good, but I just
00:29:29needed a fresh start.
00:29:31And you've been doing it alone ever since?
00:29:33Yep.
00:29:35Despite Zoe trying to set me up
00:29:37with every eligible bachelor in Havenbrook.
00:29:39Some of them twice,
00:29:41and one of which promised to take Zach
00:29:43on Christmas Eve before he accidentally
00:29:45remembered he had a wife on the other side of the country.
00:29:47You're kidding.
00:29:49Wish I was.
00:29:51Took Zach months to recover.
00:29:55You should get a job like mine.
00:29:57Nobody can match make you if you're not around long enough.
00:30:03Does Sophie see her mom much?
00:30:07My ex-wife lives in Hong Kong.
00:30:09The only people that see her on a regular
00:30:11basis are the other partners at her law firm.
00:30:13Sophie's fine.
00:30:15She understands.
00:30:17Tough being a single parent, huh?
00:30:19I'll drink to that.
00:30:27I guess you have a lot of friends, huh?
00:30:29What makes you think that?
00:30:31Oh, you move around so much.
00:30:33Same with my friends wherever you go.
00:30:35It doesn't really work like that.
00:30:37How come?
00:30:39Sometimes we're not there long enough
00:30:41to make friends.
00:30:43And sometimes I don't even try.
00:30:45Why not?
00:30:47It's easier to leave somewhere
00:30:49with no friends
00:30:51than it is to leave friends behind.
00:30:55You want to hear a joke?
00:30:57Sure.
00:30:59What do you call a pig that does karate?
00:31:01I have no idea.
00:31:03Pork chop.
00:31:05You're funny.
00:31:07What kind of shorts do clouds wear?
00:31:09I don't know.
00:31:11Thunderwear.
00:31:15What do you call an alligator in a vest?
00:31:19I don't know.
00:31:21What do you call an alligator in a vest?
00:31:23An investigator.
00:31:31I like Zach.
00:31:33Zach?
00:31:35I like Zach.
00:31:37That's good to hear.
00:31:39It's nice here.
00:31:41Yeah, it sure is.
00:31:43What's that?
00:31:47You really don't know what that is.
00:31:49It's a game.
00:31:51How does it work?
00:31:53Watch.
00:32:01Now it's fun.
00:32:05I decided what I want to be when I grow up.
00:32:07Have you now?
00:32:09A stand-up comedian.
00:32:11A stand-up comedian?
00:32:13Sophie said my jokes are so good
00:32:15I could tour the world with a sell-out show.
00:32:17She did, huh?
00:32:19What, you don't believe her?
00:32:21I believe you can be anything you want to be.
00:32:23But it doesn't hurt
00:32:25to have a backup career.
00:32:27Like a safety net.
00:32:29Something a little more reliable
00:32:31than the entertainment industry.
00:32:33Is that what you did?
00:32:35What do you mean?
00:32:37Didn't you decide to use your safety net
00:32:39when you stopped painting?
00:32:43Good night, honey.
00:32:49How do you organize a space party?
00:32:51I don't know.
00:32:53How do you organize a space party?
00:32:55You plan it.
00:33:03How much longer?
00:33:05Oh, not much longer, honey.
00:33:07Only around eight hours.
00:33:09How are your blisters holding up?
00:33:11Badly.
00:33:13Yep.
00:33:15Thought so.
00:33:33Thank you so much.
00:33:45Thank you so much.
00:33:47Good luck.
00:33:49Let me guess.
00:33:51Did your mom make you wear that?
00:33:53You look adorable.
00:33:55And fast.
00:33:57Okay.
00:33:59Can I please have your attention?
00:34:01Thank you so much
00:34:03for coming to this morning's
00:34:05Triple M Fun Run.
00:34:11For those of you who have already donated,
00:34:13thank you.
00:34:15For those of you who haven't,
00:34:17prepare to get your hands in your pockets.
00:34:21And without any further ado,
00:34:23will all Fun Runners please take their places
00:34:25at the starting line?
00:34:31Woo!
00:34:37All right.
00:34:39On your mark.
00:34:41Get set.
00:34:43Ready for one more?
00:34:47You've got to be kidding me.
00:34:49That's right, folks.
00:34:51It's Triple M versus Triple A,
00:34:53head-to-head for the very first time.
00:34:55Don't be shellfish.
00:34:57Keep those donations coming in.
00:34:59Can you even run in that thing?
00:35:01It's actually surprisingly roomy.
00:35:03Are you supposed to be a giraffe?
00:35:05I'm a cheetah.
00:35:07Oh, that makes more sense.
00:35:09This is fun, right?
00:35:11On your mark.
00:35:13Get set.
00:35:15Go!
00:35:17Hey! Go!
00:35:19Woo!
00:35:29Woo!
00:35:43Woo!
00:35:45Yeah!
00:35:51Did I mention
00:35:53that I used to run track in high school?
00:35:55Seriously?
00:35:57I must have been an all-star.
00:35:59Of course you were.
00:36:01What, you weren't on your high school track team?
00:36:03I was regional spelling bee champion
00:36:05five years running.
00:36:07Congratulations.
00:36:09Spectacularly unhelpful in the middle of a fun run.
00:36:11But good for you, champ.
00:36:13How does it feel to be overtaken
00:36:15by a six-foot monster?
00:36:17Okay.
00:36:19Here they come!
00:36:21Here they come!
00:36:23Woo!
00:36:25Woo!
00:36:27Woo!
00:36:29Woo!
00:36:31Woo!
00:36:33Woo!
00:36:35Woo!
00:36:37Woo!
00:36:39Woo!
00:36:43That's right, folks.
00:36:45That's how it's done.
00:36:47Woo!
00:36:49Woo!
00:36:51Woo!
00:36:53Oh.
00:36:55Thousands of people
00:36:57have watched Charlie's livestream.
00:36:59So thousands of people just watched me lose
00:37:01to a giant lobster?
00:37:03Well, look on the bright side.
00:37:05Havenbrook and The Herald are trending on social media.
00:37:07Not just locally, but across the state.
00:37:09And this clip
00:37:11is going viral.
00:37:13Woo!
00:37:15Woo!
00:37:17Woo!
00:37:19Great.
00:37:21No hard feelings, right?
00:37:27How long can a lobster stay out of water?
00:37:31I don't know. What?
00:37:35Better safe than sorry!
00:37:37Woo!
00:37:39Hey!
00:37:41Can you believe it?
00:37:43I cannot believe you just did that.
00:37:45Woo!
00:37:47Woo!
00:37:49I have never met
00:37:51a more irritating man in my entire life.
00:37:53And I've met a lot of irritating men.
00:37:55Give it up for Molly, everyone.
00:37:57Havenbrook's number one runner-up.
00:37:59Woo!
00:38:01Just a
00:38:03theatrical narrative, remember?
00:38:05Sure.
00:38:07Whatever you say.
00:38:11Who else wants to cool off?
00:38:13Woo!
00:38:17Hey.
00:38:19Don't worry.
00:38:21He won't know what hit him when the bake sale kicks off.
00:38:23So far, we've been up against
00:38:25a champion tap dancer
00:38:27and a former heptathlete.
00:38:29If it turns out Charlie used to be an all-star baker,
00:38:31I'm gonna scream.
00:38:33Hmm. Well, if only you could challenge
00:38:35Ash to a game of no-holds-barred spelling.
00:38:37That would really wipe the smile
00:38:39off his face.
00:38:41Do something.
00:38:43Right now. Catch him off guard.
00:38:45I mean, he can't say no on their livestream.
00:38:47Challenge him to what?
00:38:49Uh...
00:38:53Pedal boats.
00:38:55Pedal boats?
00:38:57You. Why not?
00:38:59Molly, I asked you to go pedal boating
00:39:01with me last year. Do you remember what you said?
00:39:03No, but you're gonna remind me.
00:39:05Deceptively dangerous.
00:39:07That's what you called pedal boating.
00:39:09Well, maybe I'm feeling a little deceptively dangerous
00:39:11right now, so I guess that
00:39:13balances things out.
00:39:21Molly,
00:39:23if you're here to accept defeat,
00:39:25I respectfully must decline. There's a long
00:39:27way to go. Pedal boat race. You, me,
00:39:29to the dock and back, right now.
00:39:31Winner takes the proceeds of the fun run.
00:39:33A pedal boat race?
00:39:35Just adding a little more theatrics to the narrative.
00:39:37You can't say no to
00:39:39that, right?
00:39:41Oh, you know I can't.
00:39:47Regretting your fashion choice?
00:39:49Fashion comes and goes, Molly.
00:39:51Style
00:39:53never dies.
00:39:55On your mark, get set,
00:39:57pedal!
00:39:59Oh!
00:40:05Oh!
00:40:07How were they so fast?
00:40:15Very funny.
00:40:17They're running!
00:40:29Yes!
00:40:41I can't believe
00:40:43he's about to do it.
00:40:45He's now more blister than man.
00:40:47And ten!
00:40:49Nine! Eight!
00:40:51Seven! Six!
00:40:53Five! Four!
00:40:55Three! Two!
00:40:57One!
00:41:05Oh, honey, I never should have told you
00:41:07to throw your tap shoes away.
00:41:09You don't have to now, because
00:41:11I'll do it myself.
00:41:13Wait, this hasn't made you want to start tapping again?
00:41:15Trust me, this has made me
00:41:17want to never tap
00:41:19again. See ya.
00:41:23I'd say congratulations,
00:41:25but you're looking smug enough already.
00:41:27Smug?
00:41:39I think you're secretly
00:41:41having the time of your life.
00:41:43Seriously, Mom? Losing a fun run to
00:41:45a lobster is not my idea of fun.
00:41:47It was pretty funny.
00:41:49That was very funny.
00:41:51More kneading, less talking.
00:41:55I will say this much for Ash.
00:41:57His reputation is well-earned.
00:41:59The Herald's online profile
00:42:01is blowing up.
00:42:03I'm happy he's helping.
00:42:05I am.
00:42:07But we can't let him steal the limelight tomorrow.
00:42:09You think he's cooking something up?
00:42:11Of course he is. It's Ash.
00:42:13It's what he does.
00:42:15His cupcakes were delicious.
00:42:17But not even he can make
00:42:19enough tonight to rival all this.
00:42:21Oh, it won't be cupcakes
00:42:23he's making. No, he'll be making something
00:42:25different. Something irritatingly
00:42:27clever. Well,
00:42:29I don't care how clever he is.
00:42:31The people of Havenbrook love a bake sale.
00:42:33He can't possibly do anything to upstage
00:42:35that.
00:42:43You know where to go.
00:42:49We're doing top secret triple M stuff.
00:42:51Get going.
00:42:53You're going to want to hear this.
00:42:55I doubt that. Unless you're about to tell me
00:42:57you're planning on moving to Alaska
00:42:59earlier than planned?
00:43:01I just spoke with Anna Klein.
00:43:03The journalist from Modern Parenting magazine?
00:43:05Yes. She heard about the rivalry
00:43:07and wants to run a profile.
00:43:09That's amazing!
00:43:11A piece in a national magazine?
00:43:13I mean, we couldn't ask for better publicity for The Herald.
00:43:15Feel free to mention The Fountain, too.
00:43:17Why are you both leaving?
00:43:19I have baking to do.
00:43:21Oh, I can help.
00:43:23Yeah, Ash can help.
00:43:25Besides, it's getting late.
00:43:27It's totally not getting late.
00:43:29Bye, honey.
00:43:33Believe it or not, that was them actually trying to be subtle.
00:43:37Where do I start?
00:43:45Why do you have so many ties?
00:43:49A right tie can turn a good look into a great one.
00:43:53Weird.
00:43:55Try this.
00:43:59My grandma bought me that.
00:44:01Mom does not let me wear it.
00:44:03Why not?
00:44:05Says it makes me look like a hoodlum.
00:44:07What's a hoodlum?
00:44:09Well, I don't know.
00:44:15I've been reading NPM since Zach was born.
00:44:17He's actually going to be in it.
00:44:19What do you think she's going to ask us?
00:44:23Why are you so obsessed with this contest?
00:44:27It's probably going to be her first question.
00:44:29Are you asking me to answer that right now?
00:44:31Not if you don't want to.
00:44:33No, it's fine.
00:44:37When my husband passed away,
00:44:39no one thought I could raise Zach on my own.
00:44:41Especially my mom.
00:44:43She was probably just worried about you both.
00:44:45I know.
00:44:47When we moved back to Havenbrook,
00:44:49she wanted us to move in with her,
00:44:51but I wanted to prove her wrong.
00:44:53So you set up Triple M.
00:44:55A way to meet other moms.
00:44:57To form a network.
00:44:59It's the best thing I've ever done,
00:45:01and it means the world to me.
00:45:05Good answer.
00:45:07Thanks.
00:45:09Now ask me one.
00:45:13When did you realize
00:45:15you wanted to do the job you do?
00:45:19When I turned around
00:45:21our college Shakespeare Society.
00:45:23We went from an empty basement
00:45:25to selling out the auditorium twice over.
00:45:27You were a member of your college Shakespeare Society?
00:45:29I usually played the fool
00:45:31on account of my juggling skills
00:45:33and how great I look in a leotard.
00:45:43Prove it.
00:45:45Are you ready to be amazed,
00:45:47my lady?
00:45:49Go right ahead, good sir.
00:45:55Okay, not bad.
00:45:57If you saw me in the leotard,
00:45:59you'd be really impressed.
00:46:03What?
00:46:05It's gone awfully quiet up there.
00:46:13What?
00:46:19What is he wearing?
00:46:21I don't know, but he looks awesome.
00:46:23Don't you dare tell him that.
00:46:33What if I get eaten by a polar bear in Alaska?
00:46:35Are there polar bears in Alaska?
00:46:37Yep.
00:46:39I already checked.
00:46:41Well, we're just going to have to be careful.
00:46:43Won't we?
00:46:45If we stayed here, we wouldn't have to worry
00:46:47about me getting eaten by a polar bear.
00:46:49We're going to Alaska, Sophie.
00:46:51Just enjoy it here while you can.
00:46:57Are you wearing hair mousse?
00:46:59Sophie says it makes me look older.
00:47:01You're seven. You don't need to look older.
00:47:03Sophie says all the best stand-up comedians
00:47:05have a good look.
00:47:07Sophie says a lot, huh?
00:47:09Yeah, I like her.
00:47:11Me too.
00:47:35Hello?
00:47:37Hello?
00:47:39Anna Klein?
00:47:41From Modern Parenting magazine?
00:47:45Yeah, I'll be right there.
00:47:47Hi.
00:48:05She's here.
00:48:07Who is?
00:48:17Your article about potty training last month
00:48:19was amazing.
00:48:23And the one before that about baby-led weaning,
00:48:25it was just so incisive.
00:48:27Thank you again.
00:48:29I mean, my son is seven, so clearly past those phases,
00:48:31but I just love your articles.
00:48:33So well-written and so well-researched.
00:48:35It's always nice to meet a fan.
00:48:37Do you think you can mention The Herald
00:48:39in your article?
00:48:41Even just a mention in NPM would be incredible.
00:48:43Of course. You both work here,
00:48:45so you get into the story organically.
00:48:47Now, tell me.
00:48:49How did this great rivalry start?
00:48:51Well...
00:48:53Ash was a little bummed when I told him
00:48:55he couldn't be in Triple M.
00:48:57So he created a group of his own instead.
00:48:59Wait, that's hilarious. I love it.
00:49:01And now you're neck-and-neck for first place.
00:49:03Really? We're neck-and-neck?
00:49:05Looks like it.
00:49:07And as the contest ends in just a couple of days,
00:49:09I'll be sticking around to crown the winner.
00:49:11That's fantastic.
00:49:13I can't believe you caught up so fast.
00:49:15Oh, neither could we. That's why I'm here.
00:49:17So...
00:49:19you were hired by The Herald
00:49:21to turn around its fortunes?
00:49:23I'm just lending a helping hand.
00:49:25The Havenbrook Herald has been in print
00:49:27for over a hundred years,
00:49:29and we intend to keep it that way.
00:49:31But that's what you do, right?
00:49:33I mean, you're known as the number-one fixer
00:49:35in the industry.
00:49:37That term is a little reductive.
00:49:39Then do elaborate.
00:49:41I also need to ask Molly about her painting.
00:49:43She does?
00:49:45Oh, she absolutely does.
00:49:47And I absolutely will.
00:49:49But let's focus on you first, Ash.
00:49:51Now, tell me how you got started.
00:49:53Sure.
00:49:59Starting to think they accidentally sent
00:50:01the president of the Ash Miller fan club.
00:50:05You sound jealous.
00:50:07Jealous? Of what?
00:50:09I don't know.
00:50:11You tell me.
00:50:15Tom, hi.
00:50:17Yes, of course.
00:50:19That's wonderful news.
00:50:21Thank you so much for calling.
00:50:23Perfect. Great.
00:50:25That was Tom Crawford
00:50:27at the diving school.
00:50:29He wants to renew their advertising contract.
00:50:31Awesome. Okay.
00:50:33Well, let's hope that's the first of many.
00:50:35Anna has a few follow-up questions,
00:50:37so we're going to get coffee at the fountain.
00:50:39I convinced her to give your mom
00:50:41a plug in the article.
00:50:43That's great. She'll be delighted.
00:50:49Yeah.
00:50:51Not jealous at all.
00:50:59This is beautiful.
00:51:03Coffee run before we start?
00:51:05Sure, I'll go. I'm on it.
00:51:17Espresso extra hot?
00:51:19Make it a double.
00:51:21Are you okay?
00:51:23Why wouldn't I be?
00:51:25Because you normally order a decaf oat milk latte?
00:51:27Ha ha ha!
00:51:33So,
00:51:35how'd it go last night?
00:51:37How'd what go?
00:51:39You and Ash baking all night.
00:51:41We baked, Mom.
00:51:43So what?
00:51:45Eyes meeting across the kitchen counter,
00:51:47hands brushing hands
00:51:49under a soft pillow of dough.
00:51:51What are you talking about?
00:51:53I've been listening to them since they got here.
00:51:55He's done a great job promoting
00:51:57Triple M, The Herald,
00:51:59The Fountain, and Havenbrook in general.
00:52:01He knows exactly what he's doing.
00:52:03Why are you telling me this?
00:52:07Because that's why you came here, right?
00:52:09To see what they're talking about?
00:52:11I came here for...
00:52:13double espresso.
00:52:15Please tell me that was decaf.
00:52:17You really think I'd give you a double espresso?
00:52:19You'd be up for a week.
00:52:21Thanks.
00:52:23Can I give you some advice?
00:52:25If you like him,
00:52:27tell him.
00:52:29Life's too short, honey.
00:52:31I don't like him, Mom.
00:52:33Not like that.
00:52:35And even if I did,
00:52:37I wouldn't tell him.
00:52:39I don't like him, Mom.
00:52:41Not like that.
00:52:43And even if I did,
00:52:45he leaves in a week, so what's the point?
00:52:47Well,
00:52:49a lot can happen in a week.
00:52:53Thanks for the coffee.
00:52:59Hi. Would you like one of our lemon muffins?
00:53:01Roll up, roll up.
00:53:03Cookies, brownies, cupcakes.
00:53:05You name it, we've got it.
00:53:09Bum-ba-da-dum-bum-bum!
00:53:11Great.
00:53:13Here we go.

00:53:51That's double the price
00:53:53of anything we're selling.
00:53:55Can I have a slice, Mom?
00:53:57You don't even like lobster.
00:53:59I know, but it's not every day you get the chance
00:54:01to be a part of Havenbrook history.
00:54:03Thank you very much.
00:54:05You're welcome.
00:54:09You know what?
00:54:11We should all be a part of Havenbrook history.
00:54:17What's she doing?
00:54:19I have no idea.
00:54:23Radnising with the competition.
00:54:25Isn't that against the rules?
00:54:27How many slices does that get me?
00:54:29That'll get you the whole thing.
00:54:31Great.
00:54:33Then I'll take every single slice, please.
00:54:35Sorry, folks.
00:54:37We just got bought out.
00:54:45And that's how it's done.

00:55:11Do you want the end piece?
00:55:13Perfect.
00:55:27Great.
00:55:29There you are.
00:55:33Maybe he decided to stay away from this one.
00:55:35Intimidated by our yard sale prowess.
00:55:37You really think so?
00:55:39I think if he had something up his sleeve,
00:55:41we would have heard about it by now.
00:55:51Hey, hey, hey.
00:55:53Behold, Havenbrook.
00:55:55Face thine eyes on some awesome
00:55:57ye olde entertainment.
00:56:01Barred sale?
00:56:03That's not even a thing.
00:56:05It is now.
00:56:07I can't compete with that.
00:56:09Don't worry, Mom.
00:56:11I have an idea.
00:56:13What is he doing?
00:56:17If I had a towel, I'd throw it in right about now.
00:56:19What are you doing?
00:56:21Trust me.
00:56:27My name's Zack Jackson.
00:56:29I'm seven years old,
00:56:31and I've got some jokes for you.
00:56:39I don't know about you,
00:56:41but I'm not a fan of elevator music.
00:56:43It's just bad on stage.
00:56:45I don't know about you,
00:56:47but I'm not a fan of elevator music.
00:56:49It's just bad on so many levels.
00:56:53You know who does like elevators?
00:56:55Ghosts.
00:56:57Yeah, apparently it really lifts their spirits.
00:56:59I'm vigilant that the first french fries
00:57:01weren't made in France.
00:57:03They were made in Greece.
00:57:13Thanks, Mama.
00:57:15This was a recipe for success.
00:57:19Wow, I gotta tell you.
00:57:21After today's takings, things are close.
00:57:23How close?
00:57:25Contest ends in 48 hours.
00:57:27It's gonna go down to the wire.
00:57:29And you're trending, Zack.
00:57:31How does it feel to be a star of social media?
00:57:33I'm not enough for the fame.
00:57:39Let's go out to a nice dinner.
00:57:41Your choice. Anywhere you want.
00:57:43Anywhere? Anywhere.
00:57:45Can we have ice cream?
00:57:47As much as you can eat.
00:57:49Can Sophie and Ash come too?
00:57:59You wouldn't rather have dinner with your biggest fan?
00:58:03Anna Klein.
00:58:05Are you kidding me?
00:58:07She's been driving me crazy with her questions.
00:58:09I couldn't wait to get away.
00:58:11Yeah, she's super annoying.
00:58:15I thought you were her biggest fan.
00:58:17Me? No.
00:58:19Her articles are way overrated.
00:58:23So where is this place?
00:58:25Don't worry, we're almost there.
00:58:27Just one more stop on the way.
00:58:31Come on, let's catch up with Zack and Sophie.
00:58:41I can't believe what he did today.
00:58:43He would have never had the confidence
00:58:45to do something like that before he met Sophie.
00:58:49She has that effect on people.
00:58:51Whether they like it or not.
00:58:53He wanted to share this place with her.
00:58:55He's never done that before.
00:58:57What makes it so special?
00:58:59Other than the obvious, of course.
00:59:03When we moved back to Havenbrook,
00:59:05it was tough.
00:59:07Everyone I knew here had left.
00:59:09Well, everyone except my mom,
00:59:11but all she wanted to talk about
00:59:13were her concerns about me raising Zack by myself.
00:59:17I started having second thoughts,
00:59:19thinking maybe I should move back to the city,
00:59:23but then one day we came here
00:59:25and it changed.
00:59:27What did?
00:59:29Well, Zack did for a start
00:59:31and he was happy for the first time
00:59:33since we came here.
00:59:35It was seeing him here
00:59:37that made me believe
00:59:39that moving back was the right choice.
00:59:41We went home that night
00:59:43and I painted Bracelet Bay.
00:59:45First time I'd painted in years.
00:59:49That same night I had the idea for Triple M
00:59:51and the rest is history.
00:59:53I still can't believe you're a painter.
00:59:55Believe it or not,
00:59:57I actually went to art school.
00:59:59Not. Definitely not.
01:00:01Is it really so hard to believe?
01:00:03I could believe your mom
01:00:05having gone to art school, but you?
01:00:07It doesn't fit. No offense.
01:00:09None taken,
01:00:11but it did fit.
01:00:13A long time ago at least.
01:00:15But when Zack was born,
01:00:17I focused on a more reliable career path.
01:00:21Remember when I told you I worked in a national magazine?
01:00:23It was an arts magazine called Abacus.
01:00:25So even though I changed careers,
01:00:27I still kept a little toe in the creative ocean.
01:00:31And since moving back to the city
01:00:33painting became more of a hobby.
01:00:37But if I'm being honest,
01:00:39I haven't painted anything in years.
01:00:41Maybe that part of me
01:00:43really doesn't fit anymore.
01:00:45Maybe you should try it on again.
01:00:47What's scaring you?
01:00:49It's just a little old paintbrush.
01:00:51I'm not scared.
01:00:53I've just moved on.
01:00:57I believe that if someone's good at something,
01:00:59they should keep doing it.
01:01:01Especially if it makes them happy.
01:01:05What makes you happy?
01:01:09If you had asked me that
01:01:11last week,
01:01:13I'm not sure I would have known the answer.
01:01:15But right now,
01:01:17I'd say it's pretty obvious.
01:01:23Can Sylvie come back to our place for ice cream?
01:01:25Please, Dad.
01:01:27Zack, it's getting kind of late.
01:01:29But Mom, you said I could have
01:01:31as much ice cream as I could eat.
01:01:33You totally did say that.
01:01:37Okay.
01:01:39Yes!
01:01:43You can show me the rest of your paintings.
01:01:45No. That's not something I tend to share.
01:01:47Ever?
01:01:49Ever. With anyone.
01:01:51Until now.
01:01:53You're insufferable. You know that, right?
01:01:55Yes. Yes, I do.
01:01:59You each get two scoops.
01:02:11It's Bracelet Bay, right?
01:02:13Yep.
01:02:15You captured it perfectly.
01:02:21Okay. Follow me.
01:02:23I can't believe I'm doing this.
01:02:31That's a lot of paintings.
01:02:39Molly,
01:02:41these are fantastic.
01:02:43You really think so?
01:02:45Yes.
01:02:47I mean,
01:02:49I mean,
01:02:51these are fantastic.
01:02:53You really think so?
01:02:55I know so.
01:02:57These should be hanging on walls,
01:02:59not lying under sheets.
01:03:01I kind of don't want to beat you now.
01:03:03What makes you think you're going to beat me?
01:03:05We still have 48 hours to fundraise.
01:03:07Well, I happen to have a little surprise
01:03:09lined up for tomorrow that might put me over the line.
01:03:11Do you now?
01:03:13Yep. I'm afraid so.
01:03:15Well, then I guess Triple M might just have to
01:03:17think up a little surprise of our own, too.
01:03:19Seriously,
01:03:21I think you're great.
01:03:23I mean, these.
01:03:25I think these paintings are great.
01:03:27The paintings.
01:03:29Thanks.
01:03:37How about a lesson?
01:03:39A lesson?
01:03:41Sure.
01:03:43They've got enough ice cream to last the rest of the night.
01:03:45Show me how it's done.
01:03:49So,
01:03:51what do you want to paint?
01:03:53Let's paint each other.
01:03:55I don't paint portraits.
01:03:57And I don't paint at all.
01:03:59Come on, it'll be fun.
01:04:01I thought you wanted a lesson.
01:04:03Well, I have to paint something so you can gauge my level.
01:04:05Come on, I'm already starting.
01:04:13Yours are blue, right?
01:04:15You can't be on my eyes already.
01:04:17I'm a fast painter.
01:04:21Ooh, that's a strong jawline.
01:04:27Your turn.
01:04:37What are you doing?
01:04:39We're painting.
01:04:41What Ash is doing is not painting.
01:04:43Is that supposed to be a human?
01:04:45It's supposed to be me.
01:04:47It's abstract.
01:04:49It's terrible.
01:04:51Hey!
01:04:55Come on, Zach. Maybe you need to lighten up a little.
01:05:01Don't do that.
01:05:03I'm going to make you a kitty cat. Come here.
01:05:05Come here.
01:05:15I think today was probably the best day of my life.
01:05:17Mom?
01:05:33Mom?
01:05:35Remember how you always told me to do something with my paintings?
01:05:41Well, I think it might finally be time.
01:05:47Well, it's about time.
01:06:17And...
01:06:19perfect.
01:06:23So, are you going to tell me about last night?
01:06:25What do you mean?
01:06:27I have been telling you for years
01:06:29to get these things out of your spare room,
01:06:31and you've always ignored me.
01:06:33What did Ash say in one night
01:06:35that I couldn't in ten years?
01:06:37He didn't say anything.
01:06:39He just made me realize
01:06:41that maybe it really was time to get these some air.
01:06:43Hmm.
01:06:45I'm a little offended
01:06:47that you took the advice of an admittedly handsome man
01:06:49over that of your own mother.
01:06:51His handsomeness
01:06:53otherwise had nothing to do with it.
01:06:55Uh-huh.
01:06:59Molly.
01:07:01These are amazing.
01:07:03Thanks.
01:07:05They should have been hanging on the walls a long time ago,
01:07:07not stuck in your spare room.
01:07:09So everyone keeps telling me.
01:07:11Apparently, it took a handsome man
01:07:13to get her to make her see sense.
01:07:15Well, what happened last night?
01:07:17Nothing happened last night.
01:07:19Okay, well, clearly something happened.
01:07:21We went to the bay,
01:07:23ate lobster roll, that's it.
01:07:25Wait, you took Ash to Bracelet Bay?
01:07:27Yeah.
01:07:29What's the big deal?
01:07:31You took Ash to your special place.
01:07:33It was Zach's idea.
01:07:35Tell them, Zach.
01:07:37Mom and Ash sat real close on a wall.
01:07:39Zach!
01:07:41Molly, you're finally lowering that guard of yours.
01:07:43I haven't lowered it.
01:07:45But let's just say
01:07:47that I'm peeking over the top.
01:07:49Hmm.
01:07:51Well, let me see these.
01:07:55They look perfect.
01:07:59Now let's just hope people show.
01:08:01Molly, these are amazing.
01:08:03Of course they'll show up.
01:08:11Oh, art show tonight.
01:08:17Oh, sir, art show tonight.
01:08:19Love to see you there.
01:08:41Okay.
01:08:53Molly, what are you doing here?
01:08:55I was just about to ask you the same thing.
01:08:57What am I doing here?
01:08:59Yes, and why are you doing it with Anna?
01:09:01I picked her up from her hotel this morning.
01:09:03Her car broke down last night.
01:09:05She's writing an article about us, remember?
01:09:07For someone who's writing an article about us,
01:09:09she certainly spends a lot of time
01:09:11with just you.
01:09:13I got something big cooking up here, Molly.
01:09:15All will be revealed tonight.
01:09:17Well, I'm cooking up something pretty big, too.
01:09:19Great. Can't wait.
01:09:31Are you ready, Zach?
01:09:33We gotta get going.
01:09:35You look amazing.
01:09:37I look like a penguin.
01:09:39You look like James Bond.
01:09:41Yeah, if James Bond was a penguin.
01:09:43Oh, trust me.
01:09:45It's perfect.
01:09:47How is it perfect when it's so uncomfortable?
01:09:49Come on, it's just for one night.
01:09:51Can't I go back to wearing my denim jacket?
01:09:53We're going to an art auction, Zach,
01:09:55not a line dancing club.
01:09:57Come on, let's go.
01:10:05Can you stop pacing?
01:10:07You're making me dizzy.
01:10:09Why hasn't anyone shown up yet?
01:10:11Just give it time.
01:10:13You ever hear of fashionably late?
01:10:15We've been giving it time for two hours already.
01:10:17If we give it any more time, it'll be morning.
01:10:19I think something cool is happening over there.
01:10:21He's done it again, hasn't he?
01:10:51Who the heck is Propaganda?
01:10:53I have no idea,
01:10:55but look at those price tags.
01:10:57Ladies and gentlemen of Havenbrook,
01:10:59thank you so much for coming this evening
01:11:01to this once-in-a-lifetime auction.
01:11:03I've been lucky enough to secure
01:11:05ten pieces from Propaganda,
01:11:07one of the hottest brands in the world.
01:11:09I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:13I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:15I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:17I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:19I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:21I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:23I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:25I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:27I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:29I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:31I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:33I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:35I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:37I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:39I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:41I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:43I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:45I'm so glad you're here.
01:11:47I'll see you in an hour.
01:11:53Come on, Zach, we're leaving.
01:11:55But I want to stay.
01:11:57Don't worry about Zach, I'll bring him home!
01:11:59Molly!
01:12:01Molly.
01:12:03Excuse me.
01:12:05Excuse me.
01:12:13Molly!
01:12:15Leave me alone, Ash.
01:12:17I don't understand.
01:12:18You don't understand?
01:12:20So all this was just some huge coincidence?
01:12:22I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:12:25Next time you're hired to fix something,
01:12:27fix yourself first.
01:12:37Molly, take a breath, OK?
01:12:40This whole thing might just be an honest mistake.
01:12:44The only mistake is when I decided to trust him.
01:13:14I'm sorry.
01:13:30Who are you calling?
01:13:32An old work friend.
01:13:33Won't take long.
01:13:37Lana, hi.
01:13:38How are you?
01:13:40I know.
01:13:41It's been far too long.
01:13:43Listen, I have a juicy little piece of information
01:13:46that I think you might be interested in.
01:14:06You have to see this.
01:14:07Not now.
01:14:08No, look.
01:14:13Come on.
01:14:24Do you think Ash and Sophie will leave now?
01:14:28They were always going to leave, Zack.
01:14:31That's how Ash works.
01:14:33I thought maybe he'd change his mind and decide to stay.
01:14:37The world doesn't work like that, Zack.
01:14:40Not for people like Ash.
01:14:43OK.
01:15:00I knew you were obsessed with this contest,
01:15:02but I didn't think even you would go that far.
01:15:05What are you talking about?
01:15:07Don't give me that.
01:15:10Abacus Arts Magazine.
01:15:13Your former employer?
01:15:15I wonder how they got a hold of the story.
01:15:18Congratulations, Molly.
01:15:20You just ruined the career of the hippest
01:15:22artist on the planet.
01:15:24All that man had was his image.
01:15:26Without that, his spray paint scribbles are worth nothing.
01:15:30He can't even give them away.
01:15:34Maybe you could try something a little more traditional.
01:15:36I hear there's still a market for that kind of thing.
01:15:39Got to hand it to you, Molly.
01:15:41That's some real stuff.
01:15:43A real down and dirty play.
01:15:45The only down and dirty play that was made
01:15:47tonight was by you, Ash.
01:15:50I had no idea you were going to host your own auction tonight.
01:15:53I gave you a flyer this morning.
01:15:59You didn't even look at it, did you?
01:16:02I was busy organizing everything.
01:16:04And that's your problem right there.
01:16:07You're so focused on your own path,
01:16:08you don't even see what's going on around you.
01:16:11That's not true.
01:16:13Then the alternative's even worse.
01:16:15You do see what's going on around you,
01:16:17but you choose to ignore it.
01:16:21Good night, Ash.
01:16:22Enjoy Alaska.
01:17:09Oh, my god.
01:17:25Are you sure you won't stay just a little longer?
01:17:27Yeah, I'm sure we can find you something to fix.
01:17:30Yeah, we could even break something just
01:17:32so you could fix it.
01:17:34It's been a pleasure, guys.
01:17:36Mission accomplished.
01:17:38Please tell me you're going to say goodbye to Molly before you go.
01:17:44After last night, I don't know if there's anything left to say.
01:17:48When you didn't show up this morning, I figured I'd better come looking.
01:18:09Thanks, Mom.
01:18:19Did you speak to him?
01:18:21Not since last night.
01:18:23He's probably left already.
01:18:29Why don't you head over to the office?
01:18:32Catch him before he goes.
01:18:34Why?
01:18:36It's over.
01:18:38Not that there was ever anything there to begin with.
01:18:41Oh, you just stop it.
01:18:44Stop what?
01:18:45Stop pretending that there wasn't something there.
01:18:48That there isn't something there.
01:18:51There was something there from the first moment.
01:18:55If there wasn't something there, you wouldn't have done what you did last night.
01:18:59I wouldn't have done what I did last night if he hadn't ruined everything in the first place.
01:19:05Speak to him.
01:19:07Give him a chance.
01:19:09I'm done giving out chances.
01:19:39I'm sorry.
01:20:09I'm sorry.
01:20:40What's wrong?
01:20:44You don't want to go to Alaska, do you?
01:20:50If you could go anywhere, anywhere at all, where would you go?
01:21:00I'd stay right here.
01:21:03I love you, kiddo.
01:21:07I love you, kiddo.
01:21:11Where are you going?
01:21:24Mom, look!
01:21:36You really weren't kidding when you said I wouldn't get rid of you that easily, were you?
01:21:40You were right.
01:21:41You were 100% completely and totally right.
01:21:44About what?
01:21:45About paths.
01:21:46Alaska.
01:21:47About everything.
01:21:49You're not making any sense.
01:21:51I am so sorry I didn't read your flyer.
01:21:54I was so obsessed with my own path that I didn't take the time to consider yours or anyone else's.
01:22:00I'm so sorry about propaganda.
01:22:02Forget it.
01:22:03You made a mistake.
01:22:05Now it's time to make things right.
01:22:07What do you mean?
01:22:08I have one more trick up my sleeve.
01:22:10For the contest, Ash, I don't want to compete with you anymore.
01:22:13I'm not doing it for Triple A.
01:22:15I'm doing it for Triple M.
01:22:17I'm doing it for you.
01:22:19Doing what?
01:22:21Can you look after Sophie for a little while?
01:22:23Sure, but Ash, come on, just tell me.
01:22:25All will be revealed tonight.
01:22:34Come on.
01:22:40You really have no idea what he's cooking up.
01:22:42Only that he wants me to arrive half an hour early.
01:22:45So we better get going.
01:22:47Come on, Zach, we gotta go.
01:22:50What's he doing up there?
01:22:52I told him he can wear anything he wants this time.
01:22:54He's probably moussing his hair as we speak.
01:22:56And putting on that awful jacket you got him.
01:23:01Zach, honey, you didn't need to put that on.
01:23:03It's okay, Mom, I wanted to.
01:23:05But maybe after tonight I can go back to my favorite jacket.
01:23:09Deal.
01:23:24What do you think?
01:23:27It's incredible.
01:23:43What are those?
01:23:45Those are to indicate which ones have already been sold.
01:23:51Are you serious?
01:23:53What can I say?
01:23:54You're fashionably late to your own party.
01:24:05So, how does it feel?
01:24:07How does what feel?
01:24:08You just won, Molly.
01:24:10Triple M just soared into first place.
01:24:12Molly's Mommy Mixer is officially MPM's Parenting Group of the Year.
01:24:18What's wrong?
01:24:20You know, I don't think I need it now.
01:24:24You don't need the award?
01:24:26Give it to whoever came in third place.
01:24:29Whatever money Ash and I raised goes to their chosen charity.
01:24:33Sound good?
01:24:34Sounds perfect.
01:24:36And with the Herald healthier than ever, we can invest some of that new ad revenue back into local causes.
01:24:42Just to be clear, you're withdrawing yourself from the contest?
01:24:45Yep.
01:24:47After everything you've been through?
01:24:49It was a silly contest.
01:24:53I better make some calls.
01:25:00Why are they all grinning like that?
01:25:06There is one more little thing that I should probably tell you.
01:25:15You know how I did such a spectacular job at turning around the fortunes of the Herald?
01:25:20How spectacularly modest of you to say so.
01:25:23Well, Zoe just offered me a job as the Herald's full-time social media manager.
01:25:29Permanent position.
01:25:31What'd you say?
01:25:32I kind of like it here, so I said yes.
01:25:35You said yes?
01:25:36Yeah, I said yes.
01:25:38What about Alaska?
01:25:40Too many polar bears in Alaska.
01:25:42They have polar bears in Alaska?
01:25:44Oh, yeah. Sophie did the research.
01:25:49You know, I don't really know what to do in one place for more than six to eight weeks.
01:25:54You might have to give me some tips.
01:25:56I think I know where we can start.
