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.
00:01:27That bad, huh?
00:01:28Yeah.
00:01:29A little bit too bad.
00:01:30Okay.
00:01:31Well, we're really going to miss that half-page Lobster Shack ad.
00:01:53And it'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. Maybe now's the perfect time
00:02:09to 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.
00:02:19Besides, I've got one more trick up my sleeve,
00:02:21and if it works, we're gonna need you back
00:02:23sooner than you think.
00:02:26Anything I can do to help?
00:02:28You're our last local business
00:02:30that 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
00:02:41to discuss with you.
00:02:42His name is Andrew. He 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, 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.
00:03:10Zoe 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.
00:03:21I just wondered what it was.
00:03:22Molly'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?
00:03:32Yeah, you should totally come.
00:03:36I saw something on here about a contest.
00:03:39Don'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.
00:03:49Well, great. Maybe I'll see you there.
00:03:52I hope so.
00:03:56Okay, you do know when you talk about Triple M,
00:03:57you sound like a cult leader.
00:03:59If I'm gonna win this contest,
00:04:01I'm gonna need all the help I can get.
00:04:03Oh, did I tell you about Ashley?
00:04:05Ashley?
00:04:06She emailed me yesterday.
00:04:07Just moved to town.
00:04:08She's coming tonight.
00:04:09Get this.
00:04:10She's a social media expert.
00:04:12She 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.
00:04:23Why not?
00:04:24Because when someone dips a chip,
00:04:27they'll have to maneuver an overloaded chip
00:04:29right over the brownies, risking unwanted dip drip.
00:04:33Dip drip?
00:04:34Mm-hmm.
00:04:35That'll be your fun run outfit I ordered for you.
00:04:39Thank you so much.
00:04:42You have a little helper.
00:04:45That's adorable.
00:04:46Actually, I...
00:04:47Um...
00:04:48Oh!
00:04:49Oh!
00:04:50Oh!
00:04:51Oh!
00:04:52Oh!
00:04:53Oh!
00:04:54Oh!
00:04:55Oh!
00:04:56Oh!
00:04:57Oh!
00:04:58Oh!
00:04:59Oh!
00:05:00Oh!
00:05:01Oh!
00:05:02Oh!
00:05:03Oh!
00:05:04Oh!
00:05:05Oh!
00:05:06Oh!
00:05:07Oh!
00:05:08Oh.
00:05:18You wanna cover me with cupcakes for the fun run?
00:05:32Allow me to introduce you to the trick up my sleeve.
00:05:35Molly,
00:05:36This 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
00:05:57to meet some fellow parents.
00:05:59Isn't it though?
00:06:00Make yourself at home.
00:06:01You wanna come see my room?
00:06:06Hey.
00:06:09How are you?
00:06:12Hi.
00:06:19Way cuter than the cheese guy.
00:06:24I'm sorry, it's just,
00:06:25he's exactly what the Herald needs, okay?
00:06:28Give him a chance.
00:06:29Hi, nice to meet you.
00:06:30This is Triple M, Zoe.
00:06:31Second M stands for mommy.
00:06:34Correct me if I'm wrong,
00:06:35but that man, not a mommy.
00:06:37Okay, well, maybe it's time you bent the rules a little.
00:06:47Wait, you broke his nose with a Frisbee?
00:06:50I've known Mark since college.
00:06:52He may be a tech genius,
00:06:53but he couldn't catch a cold.
00:06:55Oh, and you made these yourself?
00:06:58Those?
00:06:59Oh, yeah, I love to bake.
00:07:01They're delicious.
00:07:03Molly, did you get one?
00:07:04No, thanks.
00:07:05Actually made the brownies over there.
00:07:10So, how are you settling in?
00:07:12Great.
00:07:13Friendly locals, beautiful scenery,
00:07:15perfect 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.
00:07:22You run, bake, look fabulous,
00:07:25and you're single?
00:07:27Well, I don't like to blow my own horn.
00:07:29You just became the most desirable bachelor
00:07:31since Tom Anderson won five grand in a scratch-off.
00:07:36This is a beautiful painting.
00:07:38Local artist?
00:07:40You could say that, right, 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
00:07:51to go back to painting for years,
00:07:52but she continues to ignore me.
00:07:55You really should.
00:07:56There's a real market for this sort of stuff.
00:07:59This sort of stuff?
00:08:01I just need a more traditional art.
00:08:05I'll clear some space.
00:08:13I should have told you about Ash.
00:08:15You should have.
00:08:16I don't like him.
00:08:18You just met him.
00:08:19He makes a strong first impression.
00:08:22Congratulations on making it a little over
00:08:25five hours on your no matchmaking promise.
00:08:28I'm not matchmaking.
00:08:30Sure.
00:08:32Molly, can't you just let your guard down
00:08:33even 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.
00:08:49Fundraising's changed.
00:08:50The days of yard sales, fund runs,
00:08:52and bake-offs are in the past.
00:08:53It's all about the digital sphere now.
00:08:56I'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.
00:09:03I think that's a common misconception.
00:09:06What is?
00:09:07That small towns aren't ready
00:09:08to embrace the digital revolution.
00:09:10The digital revolution?
00:09:13You sound like an extra from The Matrix.
00:09:16Just like traditional methods
00:09:17won't increase the Herald's readership,
00:09:19old-fashioned fundraising won't win you that contest.
00:09:23Trust me.
00:09:31Why is everything so organized?
00:09:35My mom likes it that way.
00:09:38Do you like it that way?
00:09:42Sounds to me like your mom needs to lighten up a little.
00:09:45Thank you guys so much for coming.
00:09:47It was so great to see you.
00:09:49Oh, of course.
00:09:50Good to see you.
00:09:53Sophie, let's go.
00:09:55Sorry if I came on a little strong
00:09:57about the fundraising thing.
00:09:59Can't say I noticed.
00:10:00Buy you a coffee tomorrow?
00:10:02We could have a brainstorm.
00:10:03Seriously, I think I can help.
00:10:05I just-
00:10:06I think that's a very kind offer
00:10:08and it would be rude not to accept.
00:10:10Mm-hmm.
00:10:11Seconded.
00:10:21Sophie said let's write ice cream for breakfast.
00:10:24That's nutritionally irresponsible.
00:10:29Maybe you need to lighten up a little.
00:11:29Yeah.
00:11:50So you're like a fixer?
00:11:52Eh, that term's a little reductive.
00:11:54My job is to analyze the digital footprint
00:11:56of an organization,
00:11:57see where it's working,
00:11:58see 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 would want to be my tour guide.
00:12:19I was actually thinking Molly.
00:12:22You were?
00:12:23You can grab a cup of coffee,
00:12:25you can show me around town,
00:12:26we can talk about your fundraising.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:38You know, it's real cool.
00:12:42It's a little reductive, Charlie.
00:12:47Across the street is the Lobster Shack,
00:12:49owned by Charlie's dad.
00:12:51Havenbrook Bookstore, owned by Zoe's uncle.
00:12:54Conservatory, owned by Vince's brother.
00:12:58Have you always lived here?
00:13:00Not always.
00:13:02I moved to the city after college.
00:13:05What brought you back?
00:13:08My husband passed away,
00:13:10right after Zach was born.
00:13:12Just felt like the right time to come here.
00:13:15So sorry to hear that.
00:13:18And lastly, the Fountain,
00:13:21owned by my mom and our last remaining advertiser.
00:13:27Oh.
00:13:50Sorry.
00:13:52So, what was your last client?
00:13:56Ever heard of a graffiti artist named Propaganda?
00:13:59I'm not really into that kind of art.
00:14:01I'm more traditional, remember?
00:14:05Well, he's Brooklyn's answer to Banksy.
00:14:08Real identity, cloak within mystery.
00:14:11He hired me to shape his digital profile,
00:14:13inflate his price tags.
00:14:16And it worked?
00:14:17Just had 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.
00:14:33He's actually a middle-aged geography teacher
00:14:36from Pennsylvania named Norm.
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?
00:14:51A couple weeks, sometimes a few months.
00:14:54It means we move around a lot, so...
00:14:57So, how long is your contract here?
00:15:00Oh, six weeks.
00:15:02Then it's off to Alaska.
00:15:04Alaska?
00:15:06Yep.
00:15:07Coleman's Cannery has been canning
00:15:09Alaskan 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.
00:15:35Actually, I should probably get back to the office.
00:15:38You know, small-town historic newspaper on 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 your Triple M membership.
00:15:51Really? Why not?
00:15:54Isn't it obvious?
00:15:56The middle M stands for Mommy.
00:15:58Isn't that a little exclusionary?
00:16:00Yes. I mean, no. I mean...
00:16:03Thanks for the coffee.
00:16:11Forgetting something?
00:16:18Okay.
00:16:35Maybe she thought you were just trying to be romantic.
00:16:38Romantic?
00:16:41I accidentally touched her hand and then helped her into her coat.
00:16:47Okay.
00:17:04I'm not interested in you romantically.
00:17:08Great. I'm not interested in you romantically either.
00:17:11Fantastic. I just wanted to clear that up.
00:17:14I didn't want you getting the wrong idea or anything.
00:17:16Personable, nothing more.
00:17:19I'm just sitting down to dinner, so if that's all I'm...
00:17:21Now that we have that romantic misunderstanding cleared up,
00:17:24I'm assuming you'll be happy to approve my Triple M membership.
00:17:31You can't get rid of me that easily.
00:17:37That was mean.
00:17:39I'm going now.
00:17:47Bye.
00:17:50Oh, well, you seem jauntier than usual.
00:17:53It's unsettling.
00:17:55Can I just get a coffee to go, please?
00:18:02You let him put these here?
00:18:04I can't discriminate against another parenting group, Molly.
00:18:07It would be unethical.
00:18:10Don't you want your coffee?
00:18:17You can't be serious.
00:18:19Okay, no, Ash was just explaining...
00:18:21Explaining what?
00:18:22I had a brainwave last night.
00:18:24Sounds painful.
00:18:26Two parenting groups, mostly made up of Harold employees,
00:18:30both competing for the Group of the Year award.
00:18:33Think of the publicity, the online traffic.
00:18:36People are going to love it.
00:18:40How can you possibly expect to win the contest
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 for two members this morning.
00:18:56We've been fundraising for months, and the contest closes next week.
00:18:59You can't really believe you can win.
00:19:02Remember when I told you that yard sales,
00:19:04bake-offs and fun runs were a thing of the past?
00:19:07Bring it on.
00:19:11Now you're talking.
00:19:15Are 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 for 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.
00:20:02I know exactly how to win this thing. Trust me.
00:20:05Talk to me. What can I use?
00:20:07You can use my 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?
00:20:17I used to tap.
00:20:21As in tap dance?
00:20:23Are you serious?
00:20:25I was under-18 state champ three years in a row.
00:20:28Tapper's heel, putting an end to what could have been a promising career.
00:20:32Why didn't I know this about you?
00:20:34You know, that's real awesome.
00:20:36What's tapper'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...
00:20:48Yeah, 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.
00:21:03Will you tap for me, Vince?
00:21:05Will you tap for Ash's awesome alliance?
00:21:14Okay.
00:21:18Molly said that your dad owns a restaurant called The Lobster Shack.
00:21:21Yeah, yeah, that's right.
00:21:23Okay. We can use that.
00:21:25I'm just not sure how.
00:21:28Well, I'm not really sure that we can.
00:21:31I haven't really spoken to my dad in about six months.
00:21:34Why? What happened?
00:21:36Um, he wanted me to join the family business,
00:21:40and so I was a different route.
00:21:46You're artistic, creative.
00:21:49He doesn't understand that.
00:21:51He thinks that you turned your back on him,
00:21:54and you think he turned his back on you.
00:21:58Yeah, um, that's exactly correct.
00:22:02Sometimes you just need a third party to turn your back around,
00:22:07look each other in the eye again.
00:22:09I can be that person for you, Charlie.
00:22:15I got him.
00:22:20It is all about momentum.
00:22:22First, we smash the fun run.
00:22:24Then, we roll right into the double whammy
00:22:26of the bake-off and the yard sale.
00:22:28I don't care how digital his sphere is.
00:22:30He's not topping that.
00:22:32Yeah.
00:22:36Um, you might want to see this.
00:22:38Ash just started a live stream from the Herald social account.
00:22:42Ladies and gentlemen, forget the rumble in the jungle
00:22:45or the thriller in Manila.
00:22:47This is a right hook in Havenbrook,
00:22:49and it's the battle of the century.
00:22:51It's Molly's Mommy Mixer vs. Ash's Awesome Alliance,
00:22:55competing for Modern Parenting Magazine's
00:22:57Group of the Year Award.
00:22:59Now, if you want to play it safe,
00:23:01then put on your old-timey bonnet
00:23:03and hitch your horse-drawn cart to Triple M.
00:23:05Old-timey bonnet?
00:23:07Horse-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.
00:23:27Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
00:23:30He is really good. Ha!
00:23:32That's right, folks.
00:23:34A 24-hour nonstop tap-a-thon streaming live from the Herald.
00:23:37Donate now in the link in our profile.
00:23:39Keep Vince tapping. He's going to get every cent you've got.
00:23:42How you doing, Vince?
00:23:46Let's get this party started!
00:23:48Yay! Whoo!
00:23:51Oh, I've got to see this.
00:23:53Wait, seriously?
00:23:55Oh, yeah.
00:23:57OK, well, wait!
00:24:04You can't possibly tap for 24 hours.
00:24:07You'll get a blister after 20 minutes.
00:24:09I 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.
00:24:18OK.
00:24:38Ding, ding, ding, ding! Seconds out.
00:24:40I didn't agree to any of this.
00:24:42Come on, you know it makes sense.
00:24:44It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
00:24:46I would have to agree to disagree.
00:24:48He's right, Molly.
00:24:50Ash's video has already been shared more in the last 20 minutes
00:24:53than anything we've posted this entire year.
00:24:55And we just got our first donation.
00:24:57Seriously?
00:24:59From China.
00:25:01From China? How is that even possible?
00:25:03They're sleeping!
00:25:05Never underestimate the digital sphere, Molly.
00:25:08I'm about to grab your digital spheres
00:25:10and launch you right out that window.
00:25:12That is perfect.
00:25:14What are you doing? Put that away.
00:25:16And now a word from Molly Jackson,
00:25:19fearless leader of Triple M and my arch-nemesis.
00:25:22Arch-nemesis?
00:25:24How does it feel, Molly? How does what feel?
00:25:26To 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 2 starts now.
00:25:45He's insane.
00:25:47He's actually insane.
00:25:52I just need a few minutes of your time, Ray.
00:25:55I already told Molly I'm not renewing the ads
00:25:58until someone actually reads The Herald again.
00:26:00I'm not here for the advertisements, Ray.
00:26:02I'm here for Charlie.
00:26:04I'm here to make things right.
00:26:06If Charlie wanted to make things right, he could have come here himself.
00:26:09He did.
00:26:11He's out front.
00:26:15What are you? Some kind of fixer?
00:26:18That term's a little reductive.
00:26:28Arch-nemesis. Arch-nemesis?
00:26:30How does it feel, Molly?
00:26:32How does what feel?
00:26:34I just can't believe how happy he is.
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.
00:27:02If I'd known how much this photography thing meant to you,
00:27:05I 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.
00:27:21I love you too, son.
00:27:32Hey, Ray?
00:27:36Can I borrow that?
00:27:43Yeah.
00:27:51That's not fair.
00:27:53What's not fair?
00:27:55You know I'm not going to turn you away when Sophie's with you.
00:27:58Told you it would work.
00:28:00Hi, Molly.
00:28:02Hi, Sophie. Zack's upstairs.
00:28:07I want you to know that this rivalry thing is just for show.
00:28:11Sorry about that.
00:28:13It's a theatrical narrative purely meant to drive online traffic.
00:28:16Which is working, if you hadn't noticed.
00:28:19Oh, I've noticed.
00:28:29So what did you do in the city before you moved to Havenbrook?
00:28:32Same thing I do here.
00:28:34Except for a national magazine.
00:28:37That must have been a big culture shock.
00:28:40Not really.
00:28:42Selling ad space to a global brand isn't really that different than
00:28:45selling it to the Lobster Shack.
00:28:47It's still just two people talking.
00:28:49Not that I've been doing a very good job of that recently.
00:28:52Hence the reason you're currently sitting on my couch.
00:28:56It's not your fault Harold lost its ad revenue, Molly.
00:28:59That's what Zoe keeps telling me.
00:29:01And she's right.
00:29:03No one wants to advertise in a newspaper that nobody reads.
00:29:06You really think you can turn it around?
00:29:08I wouldn't be here if I didn't.
00:29:15Do you miss it?
00:29:17Miss what?
00:29:19The job. The city. Everything.
00:29:22Sometimes.
00:29:24But there were too many memories there.
00:29:27Most of them good, but I just needed a fresh start.
00:29:31And you've been doing it alone ever since?
00:29:34Yep.
00:29:36Despite Zoe trying to set me up with every eligible bachelor in Havenbrook.
00:29:40Some of them twice, and one of which promised to take Zack ice skating on Christmas Eve
00:29:44before he accidentally remembered he had a wife on the other side of the country.
00:29:48You're kidding.
00:29:49Wish I was.
00:29:51Took Zack months to recover.
00:29:56You should get a job like mine.
00:29:58Nobody can matchmake you if you're not around long enough.
00:30:02Does Sophie see her mom much?
00:30:05My ex-wife lives in Hong Kong.
00:30:08The only people that see her on a regular basis are the other partners at her law firm.
00:30:13Sophie's fine. She understands.
00:30:16Tough 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?
00:30:31Well, you move around so much, so you must make friends wherever you go.
00:30:35It doesn't really work like that.
00:30:38How come?
00:30:40Sometimes we're not there long enough to make friends.
00:30:44And sometimes we don't even try.
00:30:47Why not?
00:30:49It's easier to leave somewhere with no friends than it is to leave friends behind.
00:30:55You want to hear a joke?
00:30:57Sure.
00:30:58What do you call a pig that does karate?
00:31:01I have no idea.
00:31:03Porkchop.
00:31:05You're funny.
00:31:07What kind of shorts do clouds wear?
00:31:10I don't know.
00:31:12Thunderwear.
00:31:17What do you call an alligator in a vest?
00:31:20I don't know. What do you think?
00:31:24I don't know. What do you call an alligator in a vest?
00:31:27An investigator.
00:31:35I like Zach.
00:31:37It's good to hear.
00:31:39It's nice here.
00:31:41Yeah, it sure is.
00:31:43What's that?
00:31:46You really don't know what that is?
00:31:49It's a game.
00:31:50How does it work?
00:31:52I'll show you.
00:32:02No, it's fine.
00:32:10I decided what I want to be when I grow up.
00:32:12Have you now?
00:32:14A stand-up comedian.
00:32:15A stand-up comedian?
00:32:17Sophie said my jokes are so good, I could tour the world with a sell-out show.
00:32:21She did, huh?
00:32:23What, you don't believe her?
00:32:25I believe you can be anything you want to be.
00:32:28But it doesn't hurt to have a backup career.
00:32:31Like a safety net.
00:32:33Something a little more reliable than the entertainment industry.
00:32:37Is that what you did?
00:32:39What do you mean?
00:32:40Didn't you decide to use your safety net when you stopped painting?
00:32:47Good night, honey.
00:32:52How do you organize a space party?
00:32:55I don't know.
00:32:57How do you organize a space party?
00:32:59You plan it.
00:33:11How much longer?
00:33:14Oh, not much longer, honey.
00:33:16Only around eight hours.
00:33:18How are your blisters holding up?
00:33:20Yep.
00:33:22Thought so.
00:33:45Thank you so much. Good luck.
00:33:47Thank you so much for coming.
00:33:49Let me guess, did your mom make you wear that?
00:33:54You look adorable.
00:33:56And fast.
00:34:01Can I please have your attention?
00:34:04Thank you so much for coming to this morning's Triple M Fun Run.
00:34:13For those of you who have already donated, thank you.
00:34:17For those of you who haven't, prepare to get your hands in your pockets.
00:34:23And without any further ado,
00:34:25will all Fun Runners please take their places at the starting line?
00:34:38All right, on your mark, get set...
00:34:42Ready for one more?
00:34:48You've got to be kidding me.
00:34:50That's right, folks. It's Triple M versus Triple A,
00:34:53head-to-head for the very first time.
00:34:55Don't be shellfish. Keep those donations coming in.
00:34:58Every cent counts.
00:35:00Can you even run in that thing?
00:35:02It's actually surprisingly roomy.
00:35:04Are you supposed to be a giraffe?
00:35:06I'm a cheetah.
00:35:08Oh, that makes more sense.
00:35:10This is fun, right?
00:35:12On your mark, get set...
00:35:14Go!
00:35:16Go!
00:35:19Whoo!
00:35:41Whoo!
00:35:43Yeah!
00:35:48Whoo!
00:35:51Did I mention that I used to run track in high school?
00:35:54Seriously?
00:35:56I was a half-athlete, something of an all-star.
00:35:58Of course you were.
00:36:00What, you weren't on your high school track team?
00:36:02I was regional spelling bee champion five years running.
00:36:05Oh, congratulations.
00:36:07Spectacularly unhelpful in the middle of a fun run.
00:36:10But good for you, champ.
00:36:12How does it feel to be overtaking about a six-foot monster?
00:36:16Okay.
00:36:40Thank you. Thank you.
00:36:44That's how it's done.
00:36:46Hey!
00:36:56Thousands of people have watched Charlie's livestream.
00:36:59So thousands of people just watched me lose to a giant lobster?
00:37:03We'll 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 is going viral.
00:37:13Ah!
00:37:20Great.
00:37:22No hard feelings, right?
00:37:28How long can a lobster stay out of water?
00:37:31I don't know. What?
00:37:36Better safe than sorry!
00:37:38Oh!
00:37:40Hey!
00:37:42Can you believe it?
00:37:44I cannot believe you just did that.
00:37:51I have never met a more irritating man in my entire life.
00:37:55And I have met a lot of irritating men.
00:37:57Give it up for Molly, everyone.
00:37:59Havenbrook's number one runner-up.
00:38:04Just a theatrical narrative, remember?
00:38:07Sure. Whatever you say.
00:38:12Who else wants to cool off?
00:38:18Hey.
00:38:20Don't worry. He won't know what hit him when the bake sale kicks off.
00:38:24So far, we've been up against a champion tap dancer and a former heptathlete.
00:38:29If it turns out Charlie used to be an all-star baker, I'm gonna scream.
00:38:34Well, if only you could challenge Ash to a game of no-holes-farred spelling.
00:38:38That would really wipe the smile off his face.
00:38:40I should challenge him to 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?
00:38:53Pedal boats.
00:38:55Pedal boats?
00:38:57You.
00:38:58Why not?
00:38:59Molly, I asked you to go pedal boating with me last year. Do you remember what you said?
00:39:03No, but you're gonna remind me.
00:39:05Deceptively dangerous. That's what you call pedal boating.
00:39:09Yeah, well, maybe I'm feeling a little deceptively dangerous right now.
00:39:12So, I guess that balances things out.
00:39:22Molly, if you're here to accept defeat, I respectfully must decline.
00:39:26There's a long way to go.
00:39:28Pedal boat race. You, me, to 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.
00:39:38You can't say no to that, right?
00:39:40Oh, you know I can.
00:39:47Regretting your fashion choice?
00:39:49Fashion comes and goes, Molly.
00:39:52Style never dies.
00:39:56On your mark, get set, pedal!
00:40:06How? How were they so fast?
00:40:13This ain't funny, Matt. Just hold your costume.
00:40:15Very funny.
00:40:26Whoo!
00:40:33Yes!
00:40:43I can't believe he's about to do it.
00:40:45He's now more blister than man.
00:40:48And ten!
00:40:50Nine!
00:40:51Eight!
00:40:52Seven!
00:40:53Six!
00:40:54Five!
00:40:55Four!
00:40:56Three!
00:40:57Two!
00:40:58One!
00:41:05Oh, honey, I never should have told you to throw your tap shoes away.
00:41:09Oh, no, no, no. You don't have to now because I'll do it myself.
00:41:13Wait, this hasn't made you want to start tapping again?
00:41:16Trust me, this has made me want to never tap again.
00:41:21See ya.
00:41:24I'd say congratulations, but you're looking smug enough already.
00:41:28Smug? Me?
00:41:40I think you're secretly having the time of your life.
00:41:43Seriously, Mom? Losing a fun run to a lobster is not my idea of fun.
00:41:48It was pretty funny.
00:41:50That was very funny.
00:41:52More kneading, less talking.
00:41:55I will say this much for Ash.
00:41:58His reputation is well earned.
00:42:00The Herald's online profile is 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.
00:42:10You think he's cooking something up?
00:42:12Of course he is. It's Ash. It's what he does.
00:42:15His cupcakes were delicious.
00:42:18But not even he can make enough tonight to rival all this.
00:42:22Oh, it won't be cupcakes he's making.
00:42:24No, he'll be making something different.
00:42:26Something irritatingly clever.
00:42:29Well, I don't care how clever he is.
00:42:32The people of Havenbrook love a bake sale.
00:42:34He can't possibly do anything to upstage that.
00:42:43You know where to go.
00:42:48We're doing top secret Triple M stuff. Go away.
00:42:52You're going to want to hear this.
00:42:54I doubt that.
00:42:56Unless you're about to tell me you're planning on moving to Alaska earlier than planned?
00:42:59I just spoke with Anna Klein.
00:43:02The journalist from Modern Parenting magazine?
00:43:04Yes. She heard about the rivalry and wants to run a profile.
00:43:08That's amazing!
00:43:10A piece in a national magazine?
00:43:12I 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? We still have more baking to do.
00:43:20Oh, I can help.
00:43:22Yeah, Ash can help.
00:43:24Besides, it's getting late.
00:43:26It's totally not getting late.
00:43:28Bye, honey.
00:43:32Believe it or not, that was them actually trying to be subtle.
00:43:37Where do I start?
00:43:41Why do you have so many ties?
00:43:44My mom says the right tie can turn a good look into a great one.
00:43:49Weird.
00:43:51Try... this.
00:43:55My grandma bought me that. Mom does not let me wear it.
00:43:59Why not?
00:44:01Says it makes me look like a hoodlum.
00:44:03What's a hoodlum?
00:44:05Well, I don't know.
00:44:08I've been reading NPM since Zach was born.
00:44:11I can't believe I'm actually going to be in it.
00:44:14What do you think she's going to ask us?
00:44:18Why are you so obsessed with this contest?
00:44:21It's probably going to be her first question.
00:44:23Are you asking me to answer that right now?
00:44:25Not if you don't want to.
00:44:27No, it's fine.
00:44:31When my ex-boyfriend was born,
00:44:35when my husband passed away,
00:44:38no one thought I could raise Zach on my own,
00:44:41especially my mom.
00:44:44She was probably just worried about you both.
00:44:46I know.
00:44:48When we moved back to Havenbrook, she wanted us to move in with her,
00:44:51but I wanted to prove her wrong.
00:44:54So you set up Triple M.
00:44:56A way to meet other moms, to form a network.
00:44:59It's the best thing I've ever done,
00:45:02and it means the world to me.
00:45:06Good answer.
00:45:08Thanks.
00:45:10Now ask me one.
00:45:14When did you realize you wanted to do the job you do?
00:45:20When I turned around our college Shakespeare Society.
00:45:23We went from an empty basement to selling out the auditorium twice over.
00:45:27You were a member of your college Shakespeare Society?
00:45:30I usually played the fool on 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, my lady?
00:45:48Going ahead, good sir.
00:45:55Okay, not bad.
00:45:57If you saw me in the leotard, you'd be really impressed.
00:46:04What?
00:46:06It's gone awfully quiet up there.
00:46:18What is he wearing?
00:46:20I don't know, but he looks awesome.
00:46:23Don't you dare tell him that.
00:46:28What if I get eaten by a polar bear in Alaska?
00:46:32Are there polar bears in Alaska?
00:46:34Yep. I already checked.
00:46:37Well, we're just going to have to be careful, won't we?
00:46:40If we stayed here, we wouldn't have to worry about me getting eaten by a polar bear.
00:46:45We're going to Alaska, Sophie.
00:46:47Just enjoy it here while you can.
00:46:49Are you wearing hair mousse?
00:46:51Sophie says it makes me look older.
00:46:53You're 7. You don't need to look older.
00:46:56Sophie says all the best stand-up comedians have a good look.
00:47:00Sophie says a lot, huh?
00:47:03Yeah. I like her.
00:47:06Me, too.
00:47:09Sophie says a lot, huh?
00:47:11Yeah. I like her.
00:47:14Me, too.
00:47:38Hello?
00:47:40Anna Cline?
00:47:42From Modern Parenting magazine?
00:47:45Yeah. I'll be right there.
00:48:05She's here.
00:48:08Who is?
00:48:17Your article about potty training last month was amazing.
00:48:22And the one before that about baby-led weaning, it was just so incisive.
00:48:25Thank you again.
00:48:27I mean, my son is 7, so clearly past those phases, but I just love your articles.
00:48:32So 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 in your article?
00:48:39Even just a mention in NPM would be incredible.
00:48:42Of course. You both work here, so it'll feed into the story organically.
00:48:46Now, tell me, how did this great rivalry start?
00:48:49Well, Ash was a little bummed when I told him he couldn't be in Triple M.
00:48:55So he created a group of his own instead.
00:48:58Wait, 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. And as the contest ends in just a couple of days, I'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, you were hired by the Herald to turn around its fortunes?
00:49:22I'm just lending a helping hand.
00:49:24The Havenbrook Herald has been in print for over 100 years, and we intend to keep it that way.
00:49:29But that's what you do, right?
00:49:31I mean, you're known as the number one fixer in the industry.
00:49:35That term is a little reductive.
00:49:37Then do elaborate.
00:49:40Sure. But you also need to ask Molly about her painting.
00:49:44She does.
00:49:45Oh, she absolutely does.
00:49:47And I absolutely will. But let's focus on you first, Ash.
00:49:51Now, tell me how you got started.
00:49:54Sure.
00:49:57I'm starting to think they accidentally sent the president of the Ash Miller fan club.
00:50:03You sound jealous.
00:50:06Jealous? Of what?
00:50:08I don't know.
00:50:10You tell me.
00:50:12Tom, hi.
00:50:15Yes, of course.
00:50:18That's wonderful news. Thank you so much for calling.
00:50:22Perfect. Great.
00:50:24That was Tom Crawford at the diving school.
00:50:26He wants to renew their advertising contract.
00:50:29Awesome. Okay, well, let's hope that's the first of many.
00:50:34Anna has a few follow-up questions, so we're going to get coffee at the fountain.
00:50:37I convinced her to give your mom a plug in the article.
00:50:40That's great. She'll be delighted.
00:50:47Yeah. Not jealous at all.
00:50:51This is beautiful. Thank you.
00:50:55Coffee run before we start?
00:50:57Yeah, sure. I'll go. I'm on it.
00:51:10Espresso, extra hot?
00:51:12Make it a double.
00:51:14Okay.
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?
00:51:34So, how'd it go last night?
00:51:37How'd what go?
00:51:39You and Ash. Baking all night.
00:51:42We baked, Mom. So what?
00:51:45Eyes meeting across the kitchen counter.
00:51:48Hands brushing hands under a soft pillow of dough.
00:51:52What are you talking about?
00:51:56I've been listening to them since they got here.
00:51:59He's done a great job promoting Triple M, The Herald, The Fountain, and Havenbrook in general.
00:52:05He knows exactly what he's doing.
00:52:08Why are you telling me this?
00:52:11Because that's why you came here, right?
00:52:14To see what they're talking about?
00:52:16I came here for...
00:52:19double espresso.
00:52:24Please tell me that was decaf.
00:52:26You really think I'd give you a double espresso?
00:52:29You'd be up for a week.
00:52:31Thanks.
00:52:33Can I give you some advice?
00:52:35If you like him, tell him.
00:52:38Life's too short, honey.
00:52:40I don't like him, Mom. Not like that.
00:52:44Even if I did, he leaves in a week, so what's the point?
00:52:48Well, a lot can happen in a week.
00:52:53Thanks for the coffee.
00:52:59Hi. Would you like one of our lemon muffins?
00:53:02Roll up, roll up. Cookies, brownies, cupcakes. You name it, we've got it.
00:53:08Oh.
00:53:14Great. Here we go.
00:53:17Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together
00:53:20for the longest lobster roll in Havenbrook history.
00:53:24Possibly even the state's history. Nay, the world's history.
00:53:29Cooked fresh this morning and assembled by the expert hands
00:53:32of Ray and Charlie Fisher of Havenbrook's very own Lobster Shack.
00:53:39He's done it again, hasn't he? Yep.
00:53:42For just $5 a slice, you can have your very own unique
00:53:45and delicious opportunity to be part of Havenbrook's history.
00:53:50$5 a slice? That's double the price of anything we're selling.
00:53:55Can I have a slice, Mom? You don't even like lobster.
00:53:58I know, but it's not every day you get the chance
00:54:00to be a part of Havenbrook history.
00:54:02Thank you very much. Thank you. You won't regret it. It's delicious.
00:54:09You know what? We should all be a part of Havenbrook history.
00:54:18What's she doing? I have no idea.
00:54:23Radnising with the competition. Isn't that against the rules?
00:54:28How many slices does that get me?
00:54:34That'll get you the whole thing. Great.
00:54:37Then I'll take every single slice, please.
00:54:40Sorry, folks, we just got bought out.
00:54:50And that's how it's done.
00:54:54Ladies and gentlemen, buy a slice of this history-defining lobster roll
00:54:59right now at the Triple M booth and get any sweet treat half price.
00:55:09Do you want to get in peace? Perfect.
00:55:24I'll take it. Great.
00:55:27There you are. Perfect. Thank you.
00:55:32Maybe he decided to stay away from this one.
00:55:34Intimidated by our yard sale prowess.
00:55:37You really think so?
00:55:39I think if he had something up his sleeve, we would have heard about it by...
00:55:44Hey, hey, hey, behold, Havenbrook.
00:55:47Feast thine eyes on some awesome ye olde entertainment.
00:55:54Barred sale? That's not even a thing.
00:55:57It is now.
00:55:59I can't compete with that.
00:56:02Don't worry, Mom. I have an idea.
00:56:05What?
00:56:07I've got an idea.
00:56:10Don't worry, Mom. I have an idea.
00:56:13What is he doing?
00:56:17If I had a towel, I'd throw it in right about now.
00:56:24What are you doing?
00:56:26Trust me.
00:56:29It's like a fairy.
00:56:32My name's Zack Jackson.
00:56:34I'm seven years old, and I've got some jokes for you.
00:56:43I don't know about you, but I'm not a fan of elevator music.
00:56:46It's just bad on so many levels.
00:56:50You know who does like elevators? Ghosts.
00:56:53Yeah, apparently it really lifts their spirits.
00:56:56I'm thinking of the first french fries and one of those things.
00:56:59I'm thinking of the first french fries weren't made in France.
00:57:02They were made in Greece.
00:57:12Thanks, Grandma.
00:57:14Oh, I always knew that jacket was a recipe for success.
00:57:19Wow, I gotta tell you, after today's takings, things are close.
00:57:23How close?
00:57:25The contest ends in 48 hours. It's gonna go down to the wire.
00:57:28And you're trending, Zack. How does it feel to be a star of social media?
00:57:32I'm not in it for the fame.
00:57:39Let's go out to a nice dinner. Your choice. Anywhere you want.
00:57:43Anywhere?
00:57:44Anywhere.
00:57:45Can we have ice cream?
00:57:47As much as you can eat.
00:57:48Can Sophie and Ash come too?
00:57:58You wouldn't rather have dinner with your biggest fan?
00:58:02Anna Klein.
00:58:05Are you kidding me?
00:58:07She's been driving me crazy with her questions.
00:58:10I couldn't wait to get away.
00:58:12Yeah, she's super annoying.
00:58:14I thought you were her biggest fan.
00:58:17Me? No. Her articles are way overrated.
00:58:24So where is this place?
00:58:26Sorry, we're almost there. Just one more stop on the way.
00:58:31Come on, let's catch up with Zack and Sophie.
00:58:44I can't believe what he did today.
00:58:46He would have never had the confidence to do something like that before he met Sophie.
00:58:51She has that effect on people, whether they like it or not.
00:58:55He wanted to share this place with her. He's never done that before.
00:59:00What makes it so special? Other than the obvious, of course.
00:59:05When we moved back to Havenbrook, it was tough.
00:59:09Everyone I knew here had left.
00:59:12Everyone except my mom, but all she wanted to talk about were her concerns about me raising Zack by myself.
00:59:19I started having second thoughts, thinking maybe I should move back to the city,
00:59:24but then one day we came here and it changed.
00:59:30What did?
00:59:32Well, Zack did for a start, and he was happy for the first time since we came here.
00:59:38It was seeing him here that made me believe that moving back was the right choice.
00:59:44We went home that night and I painted Bracelet Bay.
00:59:47First time I'd painted in years.
00:59:50That same night I had the idea for Triple M, and the rest is history.
00:59:55I still can't believe you're a painter.
00:59:58Believe it or not, I actually went to art school.
01:00:01Not. Definitely not.
01:00:04Is it really so hard to believe?
01:00:06I could believe your mom having gone to art school, but you? It doesn't fit. No offense.
01:00:11None taken, but it did fit.
01:00:15Long time ago at least.
01:00:18But when Zack was born, I focused on a more reliable career path.
01:00:24Remember when I told you I worked in a national magazine?
01:00:27It was an arts magazine called Abacus.
01:00:30So even though I changed careers, I still kept a little toe in the creative ocean.
01:00:34And since moving back to Havenbrook, painting became more of a hobby.
01:00:38But if I'm being honest, I haven't painted anything in years.
01:00:43Maybe that part of me really doesn't fit anymore.
01:00:46Maybe you should try it on again.
01:00:49What's scaring you? It's just a little old paintbrush.
01:00:52I'm not scared. I've just moved on.
01:00:57I believe that if someone's good at something, they should keep doing it.
01:01:02Especially if it makes them happy.
01:01:08What makes you happy?
01:01:11If you had asked me that last week, I'm not sure I would have known the answer.
01:01:18But right now, I'd say it's pretty obvious.
01:01:25Can Sylvie come back to our place for ice cream? Please, Dad?
01:01:29Zack, it's getting kind of late.
01:01:31But Mom, you said I could have as much ice cream as I could eat.
01:01:34You 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.
01:01:48Ever?
01:01:50Ever. With anyone.
01:01:52Until now.
01:01:54You're insufferable. You know that, right?
01:01:56Yes. Yes, I do.
01:01:58You 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.
01:02:23Okay.
01:02:35I can't believe I'm doing this.
01:02:41That's a lot of paintings.
01:02:50Molly, these are fantastic.
01:02:53You really think so?
01:02:55I know so.
01:02:57You should be hanging on walls, not lying under sheets.
01:03:00I kind of don't want to beat you now.
01:03:02What 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 lined up for tomorrow that might put me over the line.
01:03:12Do you now?
01:03:14Yep. I'm afraid so.
01:03:16Well then, I guess Triple M might just have to think up a little surprise of our own too.
01:03:20Seriously, I think you're great.
01:03:23I mean, these. I think these paintings are great. The paintings.
01:03:28Thanks.
01:03:37How about a lesson?
01:03:39A lesson?
01:03:41Sure. You've got enough ice cream to last the rest of the night.
01:03:44Show me how it's done.
01:03:46So, what do you want to paint?
01:03:49Let's paint each other.
01:03:51I don't paint portraits.
01:03:53And I don't paint at all.
01:03:55Come on, it'll be fun.
01:03:57I thought you wanted a lesson.
01:03:59Well, I have to paint something so you can gauge my level.
01:04:02Come on, I'm already starting.
01:04:11Yours are blue, right?
01:04:12You can't be on my eyes already.
01:04:14Oh, I'm a fast painter.
01:04:18Oh, that's a strong jawline.
01:04:25Your turn.
01:04:34What are you doing?
01:04:36We're painting.
01:04:38What Ash is doing is not painting.
01:04:39What 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.
01:05:02I'm going to make you a kitty cat. Come here.
01:05:10Oh no!
01:05:14I think today was probably the best day of my life.
01:05:32Mom?
01:05:34Remember how you always told me to do something with my paintings?
01:05:39Well, I think it might finally be time.
01:06:10Well, it's about time.
01:06:18Perfect.
01:06:22So, are you going to tell me about last night?
01:06:25What do you mean?
01:06:27I have been telling you for years to 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 that I couldn't in ten years?
01:06:36He didn't say anything.
01:06:37He just made me realize that maybe it really was time to get these some air.
01:06:42Hmm.
01:06:44I'm a little offended that you took the advice of an admittedly handsome man over that of your own mother.
01:06:49His handsomeness otherwise had nothing to do with it.
01:06:53Uh-huh.
01:06:58Molly, these are amazing.
01:07:01Thanks.
01:07:03These should have been hanging on the walls a long time ago.
01:07:05They should have been hanging on the walls a long time ago, not stuck in your spare room.
01:07:09So everyone keeps telling me.
01:07:11Apparently it took a handsome man telling her to make her see sense.
01:07:15Well, what happened last night?
01:07:18Nothing happened last night.
01:07:20Okay, well clearly something happened.
01:07:22We went to the bay, ate lobster roll, that's it.
01:07:25Wait, you took Ash to Bracelet Bay?
01:07:28Yeah. What's the big deal?
01:07:30You took Ash to your special place.
01:07:33It was Zach's idea.
01:07:35Mom and Ash sat real close on a log.
01:07:38Zach!
01:07:40I'm just glad to hear you're finally lowering that guard of yours.
01:07:44I haven't lowered it.
01:07:46But let's just say that I'm peeking over the top.
01:07:50Hmm.
01:07:52Well, 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.
01:08:05Yeah.
01:08:11Oh, art show tonight.
01:08:18Oh sir, art show tonight.
01:08:20Love to see you there.
01:08:35Thanks.
01:08:54Molly, what are you doing here?
01:08:56I was just about to ask you the same thing.
01:08:58What am I doing here?
01:09:00Yes, and why are you doing it with Anna?
01:09:02I 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,
01:09:10she certainly spends a lot of time with 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.
01:09:20Can't wait.
01:09:32Are you ready, Zach?
01:09:34We gotta get going.
01:09:38You look amazing.
01:09:40I look like a penguin.
01:09:42You look like James Bond.
01:09:44Yeah, if James Bond was a penguin.
01:09:46Trust me, it's perfect.
01:09:48How is it perfect when it's so uncomfortable?
01:09:51Come on, it's just for one night.
01:09:53Can't I go back to wearing my denim jacket?
01:09:55We're going to an art auction, Zach.
01:09:57Not a line dancing club.
01:10:00Come on, let's go.
01:10:16Can you stop pacing?
01:10:18You're making me dizzy.
01:10:20Why hasn't anyone shown up yet?
01:10:22Just give it time.
01:10:24You ever hear of fashionably late?
01:10:26We've been giving it time for two hours already.
01:10:28If we give it any more time, it'll be morning.
01:10:30I think something cool is happening over there.
01:10:43He's done it again, hasn't he?
01:10:49Who the heck is Propaganda?
01:10:51I have no idea.
01:10:53But look at those price tags.
01:10:56Ladies and gentlemen of Havenbrook,
01:10:58thank you so much for coming this evening
01:11:00to this once-in-a-lifetime auction.

01:11:15I've been lucky enough to secure
01:11:1610,000 tickets for this year's Havenbrook.
01:11:18I've been lucky enough to secure
01:11:2010 pieces from Propaganda,
01:11:22one of the hottest artists on the planet,
01:11:24right now.
01:11:26right now.
01:11:28We've got a number of international bidders
01:11:30lined up on the phone
01:11:32with all of the proceeds
01:11:34going to the AAA Group of the Year contest,
01:11:37which closes in just 24 hours.
01:11:41So grab some champagne
01:11:43and have a great night.
01:11:45To the man of the hour.
01:11:51Come on, Zach, we're leaving.
01:11:53But I want to stay.
01:11:55Don't worry about Zach, I'll bring him home.
01:11:57Molly!
01:12:11Molly!
01:12:12Molly!
01:12:14Molly, wait!
01:12:16Leave me alone, Ash.
01:12:18I don't understand.
01:12:20You don't understand?
01:12:22So all this was just some huge coincidence?
01:12:24I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:12:26Next time you're hired to fix something,
01:12:28fix yourself first.
01:12:38Molly, take a breath, okay?
01:12:40This whole thing
01:12:42might just be an honest mistake.
01:12:44The only mistake
01:12:46is when I decided to trust him.
01:13:11I love you.
01:13:30Who are you calling?
01:13:32An old work friend.
01:13:34Won't take long.
01:13:37Lana, hi, how are you?
01:13:40I know, it's been far too long.
01:13:43Listen,
01:13:45I have a juicy little piece of information
01:13:47that...
01:13:49that I think you might be interested in.
01:14:06You have to see this.
01:14:08No, look.
01:14:11I'm sorry.
01:14:25Do you think Ash and Sophie will leave now?
01:14:29They were always going to leave, Zach.
01:14:32That's how Ash works.
01:14:34I thought maybe he'd change his mind
01:14:36and decide to stay.
01:14:38The world doesn't work like that, Zach.
01:14:40Not for people like Ash.
01:15:00I knew you were obsessed with this contest,
01:15:02but I didn't think even you
01:15:04would go that far.
01:15:05What are you talking about?
01:15:07Oh, don't give me that.
01:15:10Abacus Arts Magazine.
01:15:12Your former employer?
01:15:14I wonder how they got a hold of the story.
01:15:17Congratulations, Molly.
01:15:19You just ruined the career
01:15:21of the hippest artist on the planet.
01:15:23All that man had was his image.
01:15:25Without that,
01:15:27his spray paint scribbles are worth nothing.
01:15:29He can't even give them away.
01:15:32Maybe you could try something
01:15:33a little more traditional.
01:15:35I hear there's still a market
01:15:37for that kind of thing.
01:15:39I gotta hand it to you, Molly.
01:15:41Brutal stuff.
01:15:43A real down and dirty play.
01:15:45The only down and dirty play
01:15:47that was made tonight was by you, Ash.
01:15:49I had no idea you were going
01:15:51to host your own auction tonight.
01:15:53I gave you a flyer this morning.
01:15:58You didn't even look at it, did you?
01:16:01I was busy organizing
01:16:03everything.
01:16:05And that's your problem right there.
01:16:07You're so focused on your own path,
01:16:09you 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.
01:16:23Enjoy Alaska.
01:16:33Good night.
01:17:04You sure you won't stay
01:17:06just a little longer?
01:17:08Yeah, I'm sure we could
01:17:10find you something to fix.
01:17:12Yeah, yeah, we could even
01:17:13break something,
01:17:14just so you could fix it.
01:17:16It's been a pleasure, guys.
01:17:18Thanks.
01:17:20I just got off the plane
01:17:22and I'm on my way to the airport.
01:17:24I'll see you there.
01:17:26I'll see you there.
01:17:28I'll see you there.
01:17:30I'll see you there.
01:17:32I just got off the phone
01:17:34with the last of our advertisers.
01:17:36They all came back.
01:17:38Every single one.
01:17:40Mission accomplished.
01:17:42Please tell me you're going to
01:17:44say goodbye to Molly before you go.
01:17:46After last night,
01:17:48I don't know if there's
01:17:50anything left to say.
01:18:02When you didn't show up
01:18:04this morning,
01:18:06I figured I'd better
01:18:08come looking.
01:18:10Thanks, 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 have
01:18:31him head over to the office?
01:18:33Catch him before he goes.
01:18:35Why?
01:18:37It's over.
01:18:39Not that there was ever
01:18:40anything there to begin with.
01:18:42Oh, you just stop it.
01:18:45Stop what?
01:18:47Stop pretending that there
01:18:48wasn't something there.
01:18:50That there isn't something there.
01:18:52There was something there
01:18:53from the first moment.
01:18:55If there wasn't something there,
01:18:57you wouldn't have done
01:18:58what you did last night.
01:19:00I wouldn't have done
01:19:01what I did last night
01:19:02if he hadn't ruined everything
01:19:03in the first place.
01:19:05Speak to him.
01:19:08Give him a chance.
01:19:13I'm done giving out chances.
01:19:29I'm done giving out chances.
01:19:59I'm done giving out chances.
01:20:30What's wrong?
01:20:35You don't want to go to Alaska,
01:20:36do you?
01:20:42If you could go anywhere,
01:20:44anywhere at all,
01:20:46I'd be happy.
01:20:48I'd be happy.
01:20:50I'd be happy.
01:20:52I'd be happy.
01:20:54I'd be happy.
01:20:56I'd be happy.
01:20:57If you could go anywhere,
01:20:59anywhere at all,
01:21:01where would you go?
01:21:03I'd stay right here.
01:21:08I love you, kiddo.
01:21:12Where are you going?
01:21:25Mom, look!
01:21:27Mom!
01:21:37You really weren't kidding
01:21:38when you said I wouldn't
01:21:39get rid of you that easily,
01:21:40were you?
01:21:41You were right.
01:21:43You were 100% completely
01:21:44and totally right.
01:21:45About what?
01:21:46About paths.
01:21:48Alaska.
01:21:49About everything.
01:21:51You're not making any sense.
01:21:53I am so sorry
01:21:54I didn't read your flyer.
01:21:55I was so obsessed
01:21:56with my own path
01:21:57that I didn't take the time
01:21:58to consider yours
01:21:59or anyone else's.
01:22:00I'm so sorry
01:22:01about propaganda.
01:22:02Forget it.
01:22:03You made a mistake.
01:22:05I made a mistake.
01:22:07Now it's time
01:22:08to make things right.
01:22:09What do you mean?
01:22:10I have one more trick
01:22:11up my sleeve.
01:22:12For the contest,
01:22:13I don't want to compete
01:22:14with you anymore.
01:22:15I'm not doing it
01:22:16for Triple A.
01:22:17I'm doing it for Triple M.
01:22:19I'm doing it for you.
01:22:21Doing what?
01:22:23Can you look after
01:22:24Sophie for a little while?
01:22:25Sure, but Ash,
01:22:26come on, just tell me.
01:22:27All will be revealed tonight.
01:22:41You really have no idea
01:22:42what he's cooking up.
01:22:43Only that he wants me
01:22:44to arrive half an hour early.
01:22:46So we better get going.
01:22:48Come on, Zach, we gotta go.
01:22:51What's he doing up there?
01:22:52I told him he can wear
01:22:53anything he wants this time.
01:22:54He's probably moosing
01:22:55his hair as we speak.
01:22:57And putting on
01:22:58that awful jacket you got him.
01:23:02Zach, honey,
01:23:03you didn't need to put that on.
01:23:04It's okay, Mom.
01:23:05I wanted to,
01:23:06but maybe after tonight
01:23:07I can go back
01:23:08to my favorite jacket.
01:23:10Deal.
01:23:24What do you think?
01:23:26It's incredible.
01:23:42What are those?
01:23:44Those are to indicate
01:23:45which ones have already been sold.
01:23:50Are you serious?
01:23:51What can I say?
01:23:52You were fashionably late
01:23:53to your own party.
01:24:03So, how does it feel?
01:24:05How does what feel?
01:24:07You just won, Molly.
01:24:08Triple M just soared
01:24:09into first place.
01:24:10Molly's Mommy Mixer
01:24:11is officially MPM's
01:24:12Parenting Group of the Year.
01:24:16What's wrong?
01:24:18You know,
01:24:19I don't think I need it now.
01:24:21You don't need the award?
01:24:24Give it to whoever
01:24:25came in third place.
01:24:27Whatever money
01:24:28Ash and I raised
01:24:29goes to their chosen charity.
01:24:31Sound good?
01:24:32Sounds perfect.
01:24:34And with the Herald
01:24:35healthier than ever,
01:24:36we can invest
01:24:37some of that new ad revenue
01:24:38back into local causes.
01:24:40Just to be clear,
01:24:41you're withdrawing yourself
01:24:42from the contest?
01:24:44Yep.
01:24:45After everything
01:24:46you've been through?
01:24:47After everything
01:24:48you've been through.
01:24:49It's just a silly contest.
01:24:54I better make some calls.
01:25:01Why are they all
01:25:02grinning like that?
01:25:07There is
01:25:08one more
01:25:09little thing
01:25:10that I should
01:25:11probably tell you.
01:25:14You know how I did
01:25:15such a spectacular job
01:25:17at turning around
01:25:18the fortunes of the Herald?
01:25:20How spectacularly modest
01:25:21of you to say so.
01:25:23Well,
01:25:24Zoe just offered me a job
01:25:26as the Herald's
01:25:27full-time social media manager.
01:25:29Permanent position.
01:25:31What'd you say?
01:25:32I kind of like it here,
01:25:33so 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.
01:25:41Too many polar bears
01:25:42in Alaska?
01:25:43They have polar bears
01:25:44in Alaska?
01:25:45Oh, yeah.
01:25:46Sophie did the research.
01:25:49You know,
01:25:50I don't really know
01:25:51what to do in one place
01:25:52for more than six to eight weeks.
01:25:54You might have to
01:25:55give me some tips.
