Short filmTranscript
00:00:08Oh, dear. Hey!
00:00:10I hope you can get your head out of these architecture books, Hallie, and finally go out with me.
00:00:15Never in a million years, Dirk Diggle.
00:00:19I want your book back. Why don't you come and get it?
00:00:22Come on. Hey!
00:00:24Listen, don't fight this, okay? We will be together eventually.
00:00:27Get off me!
00:00:28Hey, don't fight me, okay?
00:00:36Ow!
00:00:37You bitch!
00:00:41She said she's not interested, bro!
00:00:44Rick Brody. Oh, you always gotta play the hero, huh?
00:00:47Yeah, go ahead. You're one demerit away from getting thrown out of this school.
00:00:51You want your book back so bad?
00:00:53Alright, you take it.
00:00:55No!
00:01:06No!
00:01:07No! This is gonna cost a fortune to replace!
00:01:11You can have mine.
00:01:13No, I couldn't.
00:01:15Yeah, you could. I've seen you in class. You are brilliant. You're gonna get way more use out of this
00:01:22than I ever would.
00:01:31Do you want to grab lunch? Or keep studying?
00:01:38Um, yeah.
00:01:40Yeah.
00:01:41Grab lunch.
00:01:42We're doing great.
00:01:49When did you two get back from the honeymoon?
00:01:51Just an hour ago.
00:01:53And this was waiting for me when I got back.
00:01:55I got in, Daddy!
00:01:57The Young Architects Program in Paris.
00:01:59It's a dream come true!
00:02:01Huh.
00:02:02And, when we get back, we're gonna rebuild this town.
00:02:07Together.
00:02:10Allie, give me some ice.
00:02:12Sure, Daddy.
00:02:17Are you two insane?
00:02:19Rebuild this town?
00:02:21This town is dying.
00:02:22And I want my daughter as far away from it as possible.
00:02:25Uh, but, sir, we have a plan.
00:02:29We even applied to adopt a child.
00:02:31Even more reason to end this now before you keep her trapped here forever.
00:02:35I promised Hallie's mother before she passed away that I would take care of our daughter.
00:02:41She deserves more than this two-bit town, and quite frankly, she deserves more than you.
00:02:46But, sir, I love her more than anything.
00:02:49I promise I will always take care of her.
00:02:52And you think that's important?
00:02:56She's going to be a world-class architect.
00:02:59You, you're...
00:03:00You're a local boy with a hammer.
00:03:02If you truly loved her, you'd let her go.
00:03:05Let her make something of herself.
00:03:08Deep down, you know I'm right.
00:03:11Here.
00:03:16This should be enough.
00:03:18I want her on that plane alone.
00:03:25I want her on that plane alone.
00:03:31For Mr. and Mrs. Craig Brody.
00:03:33We just got married.
00:03:36I got into an architecture program at Paris, and my new husband is coming with me.
00:03:41Actually, I'm not coming with you, Hallie.
00:03:44What? Why?
00:03:45You think I want to just sit around while you study crumbling buildings?
00:03:50You're never going to be a real architect.
00:03:52The world is going to chew you up and spit you out, and it's going to be too pathetic for
00:03:58me to watch.
00:04:00Um, what?
00:04:02What? What?
00:04:03No, what about our plans?
00:04:06We were trying to start a family, Dan.
00:04:08No, the last person I'd want to start a family with is you, Hallie.
00:04:13I want a divorce.
00:04:15No, no, but where is this coming from?
00:04:18No.
00:04:20Hi, Craig, baby.
00:04:22Are you seeing Trista now?
00:04:25Yeah. Just send me the divorce papers, okay?
00:04:29Craig, no! What?
00:04:34I thought you believed in me!
00:04:36Ma'am, boarding is closing. Are you coming or not?
00:04:47Yes, but I'd like to change my ticket to one-way.
00:04:57Ms. Piltner! Ms. Piltner, you were just recognized as Time Magazine's top CEO to watch,
00:05:02and your company is taking the New York architecture scene by storm.
00:05:06What's next for you?
00:05:07Um, I don't know. Taking over the world?
00:05:10Well, you and your boyfriend, billionaire politician Ned Vogel, are quite the power couple.
00:05:15He must be so proud.
00:05:17I'm not doing any of this for a man's approval.
00:05:19Well, word on the street is he's planning on proposing.
00:05:22You must be the luckiest girl in the world.
00:05:26The luckiest girl in the world?
00:05:28Right.
00:05:29Ms. Piltner and-
00:05:40Oh, my God!
00:05:45Ali Biltner, you are the most impressive woman I have ever met.
00:05:52You are my soulmate.
00:06:04Will you marry me?
00:06:09Will you marry me?
00:06:11How are you both men?
00:06:12I love you more than anything.
00:06:14You are my soulmate and the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:06:17Will you make me the luckiest man in the world and marry me?
00:06:21Allie.
00:06:22Allie.
00:06:24You're really leaving me to sweat here.
00:06:27And this suit is way too expensive for them.
00:06:29The most eligible bachelor in the country is proposing to me.
00:06:33So why am I thinking about Craig?
00:06:35He was a jerk and a liar.
00:06:37And I need to move on with my life.
00:06:42Of course I'll marry you.
00:06:52This ring must have cost a fortune.
00:06:55You're so lucky.
00:06:57When's the wedding?
00:06:58Ned wants to get married as soon as possible.
00:07:00Oh, you know, Hallie would love a hot tea.
00:07:06We have a problem.
00:07:08And that is?
00:07:09You're already married to a Craig Brody?
00:07:17He never signed the divorce papers?
00:07:22So you're still married?
00:07:24He was my high school sweetheart.
00:07:27We got married.
00:07:30But it didn't work out.
00:07:32I thought he had signed the divorce papers.
00:07:34Yes.
00:07:35Hallie, the election is in six weeks.
00:07:37This could ruin my campaign.
00:07:39Just imagine the headlines.
00:07:41Senator's fiancee.
00:07:42Already a wife?
00:07:43Aye.
00:07:44We'll get him to sign the papers.
00:07:45You better.
00:07:46Or there won't be a future for us, Hallie.
00:07:51I gotta take this.
00:07:52It's my campaign manager.
00:07:54But this is important.
00:07:55Yeah, so is this.
00:08:00Clarence.
00:08:00What's going on, buddy?
00:08:01Talk to me.
00:08:07Motherfucker.
00:08:25I never thought I'd hear from you again, huh?
00:08:32Thanks for meeting me here, Trista.
00:08:35So, you really ended it with her.
00:08:38What does it look like?
00:08:41Yeah.
00:08:42She's really gone.
00:08:44Good.
00:08:45So, there's this romantic movie playing at Cinema 6.
00:08:48I thought me and you can go and watch and we can cuddle.
00:08:52We're not going anywhere together, Trista.
00:08:55My heart still belongs to Hallie.
00:08:57And it always will.
00:09:00I don't understand.
00:09:02Sometimes, when you truly love someone,
00:09:07you have to let them go.
00:09:09No matter how much it hurts.
00:09:14Thank you for your help.
00:09:22I hate you, Hallie, Brody!
00:09:30Your call has been forwarded to an automatic...
00:09:34Fine.
00:09:35You want me to come after you, Craig Brody?
00:09:39I will.
00:09:49Leave the bag.
00:09:50I'll be five minutes.
00:10:10It's been seven years, Craig Brody, and you broke my heart.
00:10:14Somehow, the pieces still beat for you.
00:10:23Allie!
00:10:25What are you doing here, Hallie?
00:10:28Well, someone never signed the divorce papers, so we're still married.
00:10:32Sign the papers, Craig.
00:10:35I can't sign them.
00:10:37You can't?
00:10:38It's complicated.
00:10:40What?
00:10:41Then let me make it simple.
00:10:42I'm supposed to get married to, God, the man of my dreams, in six weeks.
00:10:47Only, the funny thing is, my ex-husband never signed the divorce papers.
00:10:52You're engaged.
00:10:53Yes, Craig!
00:10:54Or did you think I would never move on from you?
00:10:57Sign the papers!
00:10:58I can't sign them.
00:11:00Why not?
00:11:01There's something I have to tell you.
00:11:03Mommy!
00:11:11I can't sign them.
00:11:13Why not?
00:11:14Because we have a daughter together.
00:11:16And I never told you.
00:11:22You're finally approved.
00:11:26After all this time.
00:11:29You even remember?
00:11:37You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:11:42Mommy!
00:11:43I'm sorry, but I'm not your mommy.
00:11:47Yes, you are.
00:11:48You are my mommy.
00:11:50Tell her, Daddy.
00:11:51Uh...
00:11:51Craig?
00:11:52What is she talking about?
00:11:53Natalie, why don't you go grab the nest?
00:11:55Because I said we'd go catch bullfrogs, remember?
00:11:57Okay.
00:11:58Is mommy coming with us?
00:12:00No, mommy and daddy need to have a chat.
00:12:02All right?
00:12:03Okay, daddy.
00:12:07Want to tell me what the hell is going on?
00:12:11Well...
00:12:15Allie didn't come here to get back together.
00:12:17She came here to divorce me.
00:12:19And I have to let her move on.
00:12:26I tracked you down in the library in New York.
00:12:30And you were there with another guy.
00:12:33You looked happy.
00:12:36You looked free.
00:12:48Well?
00:12:49Um, you...
00:12:51You know, kids.
00:12:53Active imaginations.
00:12:54She thinks every woman who comes on the farm is her mom.
00:12:57All right, listen.
00:12:58Just leave the papers on the counter and I'll sign them.
00:13:01I have a flight back to New York in three hours and I am not leaving here without these papers
00:13:05signed.
00:13:06Well, I'm not signing them until I read them over first.
00:13:09Why, Craig?
00:13:11It's not like you have anything that I want.
00:13:13What do you have that I could possibly want?
00:13:17I'm ready, daddy.
00:13:19Okay, um...
00:13:20I promise I'll sign them.
00:13:22Okay?
00:13:22I know better than to trust your promises, Craig.
00:13:25I got one for you too, mommy.
00:13:27Uh...
00:13:27Oh, yeah.
00:13:28So, Miss Allie is going back to New York.
00:13:31So, it's just going to be you and me to get up.
00:13:32Like always.
00:13:33Okay.
00:13:36I'm sorry.
00:13:36Just leave them in the living room.
00:13:38I'll sign them.
00:13:38Let's go.
00:13:39Don't stop.
00:14:10Go, go, go!
00:14:12Wait!
00:14:13Ah!
00:14:14Ah!
00:14:23No cell service still?
00:14:26Ah!
00:14:28Guess I'm walking.
00:14:30Mommy, help!
00:14:32Daddy's hurt.
00:14:36What happened?
00:14:37Daddy got bit by a big snake.
00:14:39Yeah.
00:14:41Oh.
00:14:42Copperhead?
00:14:43Mm-hmm.
00:14:49Daddy.
00:14:51You still remember how to dry out snake venom?
00:14:53Well, I haven't forgotten everything you taught me, Craig Brody.
00:15:02Keep the pressure on.
00:15:03Mm-hmm.
00:15:04Okay.
00:15:06Your daddy will be fine.
00:15:07I promise.
00:15:15Mm-hmm.
00:15:16Hold still.
00:15:18Mm-hmm.
00:15:19Okay.
00:15:21Keep the pressure on.
00:15:29So your daughter, she looks about...
00:15:34Seven years old.
00:15:37So she's Trista's?
00:15:39No.
00:15:40She's yours.
00:15:42She's yours.
00:15:44So if she's not Trista's, how many other women were you sleeping with while we were together?
00:15:50I don't care if you were with the entire town.
00:15:52Just, um, sign the papers, Craig, and we can put this sham of marriage behind us.
00:15:57You've got to be kidding me.
00:15:59Where did they go?
00:16:00Daddy's had this photo in his nightstand for seven years, which means he still loves her.
00:16:06And if they loved each other once, they can love each other again.
00:16:10They just need another chance.
00:16:22Where are the divorce papers?
00:16:24No.
00:16:25I will check into the Picoi Inn for tonight.
00:16:38Um...
00:16:38And we can look for the divorce papers tomorrow.
00:16:40The Picoi closed years ago.
00:16:43There was always your father's...
00:16:44That's, um, not an option.
00:16:48The way she said that, that something happened between her and her father.
00:16:54Well, unless you want to stay outside, I guess you're stuck here.
00:17:01I guess you're stuck here.
00:17:05Fine.
00:17:06But I'm not staying in your room.
00:17:09Wouldn't dream it.
00:17:12You can stay in my room with me and Lucy.
00:17:15There you go.
00:17:25Wow, I love your room.
00:17:27Thanks, my daddy helped me decorate it.
00:17:38Okay, look.
00:17:43I know it hasn't been easy.
00:17:45I'm trying to start a family, but one day, the adoption will go through.
00:17:52We're gonna have that baby, and you will be the most amazing one.
00:18:23Good night, sweetheart.
00:18:28That logo.
00:18:30It's from the adoption agency.
00:18:33Is Natalie my daughter?
00:18:35That logo.
00:18:36It's from the adoption agency.
00:18:39Is Natalie my daughter?
00:18:47I guess I'm just remembering things wrong.
00:19:19Is this a actual place?
00:19:26Is it better?
00:19:28I guess I know.
00:19:28I'm reading books.
00:19:28It's a big issue.
00:19:28It's a big deal.
00:19:30It's almost a big deal.
00:19:30It doesn't matter.
00:19:32It was a trilogy.
00:19:38It's nothing I haven't seen before.
00:19:42Daddy?
00:19:43Oh god.
00:19:47Do you know where McHaley went?
00:19:49Uh, no.
00:19:51I haven't seen her.
00:19:52Do you think she left us, Daddy?
00:19:55You know what?
00:19:55Just give me five minutes and I'll help you look, okay, sweetie?
00:19:59Okay, Daddy.
00:20:04Ow!
00:20:05Oh, my God.
00:20:07Okay.
00:20:23Craig, I'm engaged to someone else.
00:20:27You're also married to me.
00:20:32Oh, could this get any messier?
00:20:40I should go.
00:20:55Hey.
00:20:58Hey.
00:20:59So I found the divorce papers.
00:21:04Natalie!
00:21:05I think she wants to keep us married.
00:21:08Would that be such a bad thing?
00:21:15Hello!
00:21:16I brought scones!
00:21:20What the hell are you doing here?
00:21:24Craig and Trista are still together?
00:21:27I mean...
00:21:28Hi, baby.
00:21:30I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
00:21:32What a pleasant surprise, Holly.
00:21:35Bye.
00:21:35Uh, excuse me.
00:21:40What the fuck are you doing here?
00:21:43It's none of your business.
00:21:46Actually, where Craig's concerned, it is.
00:21:48So, you and Craig are still together?
00:21:54We're not going anywhere together, Trista.
00:21:57My heart still belongs to Hallie, and it always will.
00:22:02Still together?
00:22:03Why, of course we're still together.
00:22:06We've been inseparable.
00:22:07Ever since that day at the airport, the day that Craig chose me over you.
00:22:12Don't tell me you've forgotten.
00:22:16How could I?
00:22:18It's the worst day of my life.
00:22:20Oh, it's not right to hear that.
00:22:22Because it was a pretty good day for me.
00:22:24I'm sure it was.
00:22:26Listen, if you're here to win Craig back, it's too late.
00:22:29Because I'm pretty sure he's planning on proposing to me.
00:22:32Any day now.
00:22:33So I need you to get your skinny little ass out of my town.
00:22:37Okay?
00:22:38Come here.
00:22:39Take a pastry for the bread.
00:22:41I insist.
00:22:46Eat it.
00:22:47Oh, my God.
00:22:48Because it's the closest you'll get to tasting Craig's mouth ever again.
00:22:55Oh, my God.
00:22:58You New York bitch.
00:23:00Oh, my God.
00:23:02Oh, my God.
00:23:07You think you can just waltz back in here and pick up where you left off?
00:23:11Craig will always choose me over you.
00:23:17What the hell is going on?
00:23:19Oh, my ankle.
00:23:21Oh, my ankle.
00:23:23That crazy bitch.
00:23:26Like I said, he will always choose me over you.
00:23:31Are you okay?
00:23:32Why are you asking her?
00:23:34I'm the one who's injured.
00:23:38All I did was offer her a scone and then she called it dog food and then she kicked me.
00:23:45Oh, poor little thing.
00:23:47You got, you got scone all over you.
00:23:49It's okay, Hallie.
00:23:50I forgive you.
00:23:51Even if you did break my leg.
00:23:53I didn't touch you.
00:23:55I need to put your petty jealousy aside.
00:23:57Craig divorced you for a reason.
00:24:00I'm coming back here.
00:24:01To bow for him back is just...
00:24:03...pothetic.
00:24:04Actually, I didn't divorce Hallie.
00:24:07She's still my wife.
00:24:10What?
00:24:12Hallie is still my wife.
00:24:14Which means you just insulted her in her own house.
00:24:17So please leave Trista.
00:24:20Wait, baby.
00:24:21This is just one big misunderstanding.
00:24:23You heard my daddy get out of our house before we call the cops.
00:24:28Oh my god, ew.
00:24:30What is that disgusting creature?
00:24:32I'm gonna vomit.
00:24:34Good job, Lucy.
00:24:36You know what?
00:24:37I should go.
00:24:38Hallie.
00:24:42It was nice meeting you, Natalie.
00:24:46I'm sorry.
00:24:53Lulu.
00:24:54Call me back.
00:24:57Hallie.
00:24:58No, I never understood why you left me for Trista.
00:25:01Of all people.
00:25:02You knew I couldn't stand her.
00:25:04That's why I didn't.
00:25:06Because I knew it would hurt me the most.
00:25:10Seeing her again, it just reminded me of the worst day of my life.
00:25:15Hallie.
00:25:17There's something I need to tell you about Trista.
00:25:21I don't want to talk about Trista anymore, okay?
00:25:24I have to take this.
00:25:25Lulu.
00:25:25Can you email me another copy of the divorce papers ASAP?
00:25:28Another copy?
00:25:29What happened to the originals?
00:25:31It's a long story.
00:25:35Can you do it?
00:25:36It's Saturday.
00:25:38City Hall's closed until Monday.
00:25:41You're gonna need a certified copy.
00:25:42I think you're gonna have to stay the weekend there, boss.
00:25:44I hope that's not a big problem.
00:25:48No.
00:25:49Of course not.
00:25:51Well, looks like I am staying until Monday.
00:25:53Until I can get a new copy of the divorce papers.
00:25:56I don't have anything.
00:25:58Not a change of clothes.
00:25:59Not even a toothbrush.
00:26:00You can just drive me to the store.
00:26:02Okay.
00:26:03Okay.
00:26:04Okay.
00:26:05Okay.
00:26:05Miss Hallie is staying.
00:26:23Stop looking at him like that, Hallie.
00:26:25You can't have feelings for him.
00:26:29Even if he is your husband.
00:26:38I can't believe how bad the town looks.
00:26:43When the factory closed, half the stores went with it.
00:26:47Well, at least Martha's diner is still here.
00:26:49Martha May makes the best burgers in the world.
00:26:53Yeah.
00:26:55Remember our crazy dream?
00:26:57You know, fix this place up?
00:26:59Of course I do.
00:27:01So, you probably have big plans after graduation.
00:27:06I'm applying to an architecture program in Paris.
00:27:09I doubt I'll get it, though.
00:27:11It's really competitive.
00:27:12Of course you will.
00:27:14I mean, they'd be fools not to take you.
00:27:16You think so?
00:27:17Oh, yeah.
00:27:18I know so.
00:27:20Well, after that, I want to come back here.
00:27:23Fix this town up.
00:27:24I am pretty good.
00:27:25I'm a glamour.
00:27:26I need an assistant.
00:27:27How about a partner?
00:27:33Sounds perfect.
00:27:36Man, I could really go for a burger right now.
00:27:39I have an idea.
00:27:42Where are you taking me, Craig Brody?
00:27:47A picnic.
00:27:49Just like old times.
00:27:51Allow me.
00:27:59I hate you, Hallie!
00:28:06Wow, it's just like in high school.
00:28:09Still looks the same, doesn't it?
00:28:12And feels the same.
00:28:15I love you, Hallie Biltner.
00:28:17I want you to know I will never, ever hurt you.
00:28:22I'm so sorry for hurting you, Hallie.
00:28:27Natalie and I were supposed to eat these on our fishing trip.
00:28:32I don't think Sheila forgave me.
00:28:37Triangles.
00:28:38Just the way you tell me.
00:28:40It's Natalie's favorite way to eat them, too.
00:28:43Oh, I have to take this.
00:28:45Hey.
00:28:46Hallie.
00:28:47The press wants to know why we haven't been seen together.
00:28:50They think we broke up.
00:28:51You need to get back here right now.
00:28:57I can't yet.
00:28:58I need to get new divorce papers in city halls.
00:29:01It's closed until Monday.
00:29:02New divorce papers?
00:29:04What?
00:29:04Your location says you're at your old high school.
00:29:06What the hell is going on?
00:29:08It's complicated.
00:29:12No, it is not complicated.
00:29:14Okay, look.
00:29:15I am pulling in a favor from the governor.
00:29:18We're going to get those papers expedited,
00:29:20and we are going to force that husband of yours into signing them if we have to.
00:29:24I need you on the next flight back in an hour.
00:29:27In an hour?
00:29:28Yeah.
00:29:29That's not going to be a problem, is it?
00:29:34Of course not.
00:29:59This is my last chance to tell her the truth.
00:30:04Well...
00:30:06Goodbye, I guess.
00:30:08Hallie, I...
00:30:09No, Craig.
00:30:10Oh, I'm done waiting.
00:30:13It's time for me to move on.
00:30:17Hmm...
00:30:19Hello?
00:30:20What?
00:30:22Are you sure?
00:30:24Okay.
00:30:25Okay.
00:30:26Um...
00:30:27Um, it's...
00:30:28My father.
00:30:29He's...
00:30:29Had a stroke.
00:30:30He's at the community hospital.
00:30:31Oh, come on.
00:30:32I'll drive you.
00:30:35Unless you're getting on that flight.
00:30:38No.
00:30:39Um...
00:30:39No, of course not.
00:30:40Okay, good, good, good.
00:30:41Come on.
00:30:44What's going on?
00:30:46The neighbor found him this morning on the lawn.
00:30:48Hallie, I didn't expect to see you here.
00:30:51Is he going to be okay?
00:30:52We're doing the best we can, but it's difficult, considering his condition.
00:30:57His condition?
00:30:58Your father is dying, Hallie, of kidney failure.
00:31:05How long does he have?
00:31:07A couple weeks.
00:31:08Maybe a month.
00:31:09I hope we're planning on sticking around this time.
00:31:13Excuse me.
00:31:18I had no idea.
00:31:20You didn't?
00:31:21When was the last time you saw him?
00:31:26Seven years ago.
00:31:33Hallie.
00:31:35Craig's divorcing me.
00:31:37He's been cheating on me.
00:31:38I knew that bastard wasn't good enough for you.
00:31:42But at least you found out before he followed you to Paris.
00:31:45No, I'm not going to Paris.
00:31:47I can't get on that plane.
00:31:49What?
00:31:51Craig was right.
00:31:52I'm not a real architect.
00:31:54Everyone's going to laugh at me.
00:31:56You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:31:58But, Daddy, I...
00:31:59If you come back now, you'll be a laughing stock.
00:32:02You'll be a divorced loser.
00:32:04No one will want you.
00:32:05Not Craig.
00:32:08Not even me.
00:32:10Daddy.
00:32:12You get on that plane, Hallie.
00:32:14I never want to see you again.
00:32:16You are a disgrace.
00:32:28Nobody's ever been so mean to me.
00:32:32Except you.
00:32:34That is...
00:32:35God, it's like the two of you were in cahoots.
00:32:38Should I tell her that we were?
00:32:41If I tell her the truth, she'll never forgive her dying father.
00:32:46Didn't work out for the best, though.
00:32:49I mean, look at the life you've built for yourself.
00:32:51You deserve more than this small town.
00:32:55You and my father certainly made it easy to leave.
00:33:00What's going on?
00:33:02Power grid has been happening for weeks.
00:33:09Natalie?
00:33:10Daddy.
00:33:12I'm scared.
00:33:13It's dark and there's someone outside.
00:33:16I'll be right there.
00:33:16Keep the doors locked.
00:33:18I have to go.
00:33:20No, I'm coming with you.
00:33:20Hallie, this isn't something that...
00:33:22I'm coming with you.
00:33:23Okay, okay, come on.
00:33:27Natalie?
00:33:29Oh, my God.
00:33:30Oh, my God.
00:33:30Oh, my God.
00:33:31Thank God.
00:33:35I was so scared.
00:33:37It's okay.
00:33:38It's okay.
00:33:38You're okay.
00:33:40It must have been raccoons.
00:33:42Broken through the window.
00:33:44Probably those scones, huh?
00:33:46Yeah.
00:33:47I'm so sorry for leaving you alone for so long.
00:33:50Oh, it's on.
00:33:51It's my fault.
00:33:51No, no, no, no.
00:33:52I was happy to help, but, um...
00:33:55I think you missed your flight.
00:33:58So you're saying we can watch a movie together?
00:34:03I, uh...
00:34:04Yes, we can.
00:34:09Miss Haley, come closer.
00:34:13Could...
00:34:15Daddy, come closer.
00:34:19Is it this great?
00:34:21Just the three of us.
00:34:25This blanket always makes my daddy fall asleep.
00:34:41Oh, my God.
00:34:44Oh, my God.
00:35:04We'll love you, Allie Brody.
00:35:06I love you, Allie Brody.
00:35:08Why does this feel so right?
00:35:13He's still my husband,
00:35:15and I know every freckle on his body.
00:35:18But no.
00:35:20I'm divorcing him,
00:35:21and marrying someone else.
00:35:27Oh, my God.
00:35:30Oh, my God.
00:35:33Oh, my God.
00:35:36Allie.
00:35:40Mommy and Daddy, I made breakfast.
00:35:50Do you like it?
00:35:51I made pancakes.
00:35:52They are excellent, sweetie.
00:35:56Mm-hmm.
00:35:57This is what families do.
00:35:58They eat breakfast together.
00:36:03What's up?
00:36:10There's some stupid birthday invitation.
00:36:13All the kids from school will be there,
00:36:14but I'm not going.
00:36:16Why not?
00:36:18Because everyone always says,
00:36:20if I had a mom,
00:36:21she'd help me pick up better gifts.
00:36:23And they say I'm just a momless loser.
00:36:26You are not a momless loser, Natalie.
00:36:30And don't let anyone make you feel less than you are.
00:36:35I grew up without a mom, too, you know.
00:36:39And it was hard.
00:36:41But I was always able to rely on my dad,
00:36:44just like you can.
00:36:48And by the way,
00:36:50your dad is worth a thousand mommies.
00:36:54That's true.
00:36:55She checked.
00:36:57So go to that party
00:36:58with your head held high.
00:37:00No one can take your power from you
00:37:02unless you let them.
00:37:07Okay, Miss Allie.
00:37:08I'll go to the party.
00:37:09Thanks.
00:37:16Oh, no.
00:37:18Excuse me.
00:37:19I have to take this.
00:37:26I see you got my messages.
00:37:29Delete that photo, Trista.
00:37:31Oh, which one?
00:37:32Because I have plenty.
00:37:36What's the problem?
00:37:37A rich fiancé isn't enough for you,
00:37:40so you have to come back
00:37:40and seduce your husband, too.
00:37:42I didn't come here
00:37:43to get back with Craig, Trista.
00:37:45I came here to divorce him.
00:37:47Really?
00:37:48Then prove it.
00:37:49Walk away now
00:37:50and leave this town for good.
00:37:52Otherwise,
00:37:54these photos
00:37:55would go to the senator.
00:37:58I could ruin you,
00:38:00Hallie.
00:38:01So don't mess with my life
00:38:03and I won't mess with yours.
00:38:11Hey.
00:38:13Everything okay?
00:38:15Fine.
00:38:16Who are you talking to?
00:38:17Oh, uh,
00:38:18my, uh,
00:38:19fiancé's lawyer.
00:38:20He'll be by
00:38:21with new divorce papers.
00:38:24Um,
00:38:25I have to go.
00:38:26Right now?
00:38:27Yes.
00:38:27I'm sorry,
00:38:28but yes.
00:38:29Can you call me a cab?
00:38:30Hallie.
00:38:31Call me a cab.
00:38:32Craig.
00:38:33Okay.
00:38:36My plan didn't work, Lucy.
00:38:38I guess Mommy
00:38:39isn't in love
00:38:39with Daddy after all.
00:38:51Martha May?
00:38:52Hallie Builder
00:38:53as I live and breathe.
00:38:55Oh!
00:38:55Oh,
00:38:56how are you so skinny?
00:38:57I thought that city of yours
00:38:58had a restaurant
00:38:59on every block.
00:39:00Oh, well, they do,
00:39:01but none of them
00:39:02make a burger
00:39:02as good as you do.
00:39:04Oh, well,
00:39:05that's nice to know
00:39:05I'll be remembered fondly
00:39:07at least.
00:39:08What?
00:39:08Don't tell me
00:39:09you're shutting down.
00:39:10Yeah,
00:39:10I don't have a choice.
00:39:11Rent's gone up
00:39:12and I can't afford
00:39:12the place anymore.
00:39:14No,
00:39:15no,
00:39:15there must be
00:39:15something I can do.
00:39:17Mayor Diggle,
00:39:18shut it down.
00:39:21Mayor Diggle.
00:39:24Dirk,
00:39:25I can't believe
00:39:26you're shutting down
00:39:27Martha's Diner.
00:39:28It's a town institution.
00:39:29Is it?
00:39:30Or are you just upset
00:39:31about it because
00:39:32you and your boyfriend,
00:39:33Craig,
00:39:33used to go there?
00:39:34This isn't high school
00:39:36anymore, Dirk,
00:39:36and this isn't a game.
00:39:39What is it going to take
00:39:40for you to leave
00:39:40the diner alone?
00:39:42Well,
00:39:43you know I've always
00:39:43liked you,
00:39:44so
00:39:46how about
00:39:47you and me
00:39:48handle this privately?
00:39:50I'll pay you
00:39:5112 months rent
00:39:52in advance.
00:39:55Listen,
00:39:56you think I want your money?
00:39:57No,
00:39:58I had something
00:39:58more interesting
00:39:59in mind.
00:40:00You.
00:40:01You're disgusting.
00:40:02Listen,
00:40:04Craig was here
00:40:04to save you last time,
00:40:06but he's not here now.
00:40:07Looks like you're
00:40:08all alone,
00:40:08Hallie.
00:40:09No,
00:40:09I'm...
00:40:10let go of my wallet!
00:40:20Well,
00:40:21you two are under arrest
00:40:23for assaulting the mayor.
00:40:26You know the drill.
00:40:27This is just like
00:40:28how I used to arrest you
00:40:29when you was back
00:40:30in high school.
00:40:39Wife, huh?
00:40:41Some habits
00:40:42are hard to break.
00:40:45God,
00:40:45this is so not funny.
00:40:47Ned is running
00:40:48for senator.
00:40:49What will this look like
00:40:50if anyone finds out?
00:40:51And who's going to
00:40:51check a county jail
00:40:53in a nowhere town?
00:40:54I should have
00:40:55never come back here.
00:40:56I should have
00:40:56sent my assistant.
00:40:57I should have
00:40:58hired a lawyer!
00:40:59Then why didn't you?
00:41:01I think he wanted
00:41:02to see me.
00:41:05I think he wanted
00:41:06to see me.
00:41:07In your dreams,
00:41:08I have moved on
00:41:09to bigger
00:41:09and better things.
00:41:11Yeah,

00:41:14you shut down

00:41:16out of work.
00:41:17And the complex

00:41:1910,000 jobs.
00:41:20Yeah,
00:41:21for Ivy Leaguers
00:41:22and corporate types.
00:41:23What about the blue collars?
00:41:25Hmm?
00:41:26What about the people
00:41:27you came from?
00:41:27I've tried to forget
00:41:28where I came from.
00:41:30Okay,
00:41:31isn't that what you
00:41:31wanted when you
00:41:32told me I don't
00:41:33belong here?
00:41:33I shouldn't have
00:41:34said that.
00:41:35No,
00:41:35you were right.
00:41:36I'm not
00:41:37the same girl
00:41:37you married.

00:42:12Craig Brody,
00:42:13the man who
00:42:14couldn't even sign
00:42:14a simple divorce paper.
00:42:16And you must be
00:42:17Ned Vogel,
00:42:18the man who
00:42:19thinks money
00:42:20can solve everything.
00:42:21Yeah,
00:42:21well,
00:42:22my money
00:42:22got you out of jail,
00:42:24didn't it?
00:42:25I didn't ask
00:42:25to be bailed out.
00:42:27Hmm,
00:42:27well,
00:42:27you can think of it
00:42:28as the government
00:42:29working for you.
00:42:30or you can shove
00:42:31your government
00:42:32up your silver spirit.
00:42:34please,
00:42:34stop.
00:42:35No,
00:42:36you're right.
00:42:36I'm not here to argue
00:42:38with a man who's
00:42:38holding on to the past.
00:42:43We got the divorce papers
00:42:44expedited,
00:42:45so,
00:42:46you can sign them,
00:42:47Craig.
00:42:49This nonsense
00:42:50has gone on long enough.
00:42:52Can I really
00:42:53divorce Hallie
00:42:55without her knowing
00:42:56about her own daughter?
00:42:59Sign the papers.
00:43:01or we take you
00:43:02to court.
00:43:04But I gotta tell you,
00:43:05my lawyer's a shark.
00:43:07Say something,
00:43:08Ellie.
00:43:10Say something
00:43:11to stop this.
00:43:13Sign the papers,
00:43:14Craig.
00:43:16Let me go.
00:43:17It's
00:43:18the least you can do.
00:43:26Wonderful.
00:43:27We will get these filed
00:43:28at the town hall.
00:43:30And you will be divorced
00:43:31in an hour.
00:43:34This nonsense
00:43:35has gone on long enough.
00:43:37It's time for you
00:43:38to finally
00:43:38move on with your life,
00:43:39Hallie.
00:43:43Well,
00:43:43are you coming?
00:43:46Yes,
00:43:47of course.
00:43:49Bye.
00:43:53Bye.
00:43:56That is who she ended up with.
00:43:59I always thought
00:44:00it'd be you.
00:44:02Yeah,
00:44:02well,
00:44:04sometimes things
00:44:04don't work out
00:44:05the way we want them to.
00:44:08Hallie,
00:44:08what were you thinking?
00:44:10Jail?
00:44:11Are you trying
00:44:12to ruin my campaign?
00:44:14No.
00:44:14No,
00:44:15this has
00:44:15nothing to do with you.
00:44:17you are going to be
00:44:18my wife.
00:44:20Everything you do
00:44:22reflects on me.
00:44:25Now,
00:44:25are there any other skeletons
00:44:28I should know about?
00:44:37No,
00:44:39nothing.
00:44:42This town
00:44:43is just how you
00:44:45described it.
00:44:47Low class,
00:44:49run down,
00:44:51depressing.
00:44:52It isn't
00:44:53that
00:44:54bad.
00:44:55Those are your words,
00:44:56Hallie.
00:44:57What's gotten into you?
00:44:58I don't know.
00:44:59Um,
00:45:00just
00:45:01being back here.
00:45:04Should I remind you
00:45:05how lucky you are
00:45:06to have gotten out?
00:45:08Last signature,
00:45:09Miss Bilner,
00:45:10and you'll be free
00:45:11and clear
00:45:11to be the wife
00:45:12of a senny.
00:45:23Okay.
00:45:24Let's go.
00:45:29Fair wages,
00:45:30fair pay.
00:45:31We all want to
00:45:31congrats today.
00:45:32Let us through.
00:45:33No one gets in
00:45:34or out today.
00:45:35Town workers on strike.
00:45:37We need to get
00:45:37these filed.
00:45:39We have a flight
00:45:39to catch in 30 minutes.
00:45:41Sorry,
00:45:41we can't do it.
00:45:46There you are,
00:45:47Mommy.
00:45:50Mommy?
00:45:54I knew you
00:45:55want to leave
00:45:55without me,
00:45:56Mommy.
00:45:58Mommy,
00:45:58you two have
00:45:59a kid together?
00:45:59No,
00:46:00no,
00:46:00no,
00:46:00of course not.
00:46:01Natalie,
00:46:02come on.
00:46:02Miss Hallie has to go.
00:46:04No,
00:46:04no!
00:46:06I'm so sorry.
00:46:07I hate you.
00:46:08I hate both of you.
00:46:11Another reason
00:46:12why I'm glad
00:46:13I don't have kids.
00:46:14Look,
00:46:14we need to get
00:46:15these signed.
00:46:16What's it going to
00:46:17cost me to make it happen?
00:46:19Whoa!
00:46:20Is this a
00:46:21city senate official
00:46:23bribing a city employee?
00:46:26You see,
00:46:27I have my fair share
00:46:28of scandals,
00:46:28but this,
00:46:29this is bad.
00:46:32Hallie,
00:46:33I see you
00:46:33got a fancy
00:46:34new fiancé.
00:46:37What happened
00:46:37to your husband?
00:46:38He's still
00:46:39locked away in jail?
00:46:40I think he means
00:46:41soon-to-be ex-husband.
00:46:43Ah,
00:46:44looks like your father
00:46:45got what he always wanted.
00:46:46You and Craig
00:46:47finally divorced.
00:46:50What do you mean
00:46:51what my father
00:46:52wanted?
00:46:53What do you mean
00:46:54what my father
00:46:55wanted?
00:46:57Wait,
00:46:58Craig never told-
00:46:59wait,
00:46:59it's fair,
00:47:00hey!
00:47:01Keep it down,
00:47:02all right,
00:47:02or I'll write you up
00:47:03for a noise violation.
00:47:04How about you pay us
00:47:05what we're owed
00:47:06and not waste
00:47:07our tax dollars
00:47:08on fancy new
00:47:10fire trucks
00:47:10and cocktail parties?
00:47:12Mayor Sullivan
00:47:13never would have
00:47:14done anything.
00:47:15All right,
00:47:15listen,
00:47:16Mayor Sullivan
00:47:16is not in charge
00:47:17anymore.
00:47:18I am,
00:47:19all right?
00:47:19So please just
00:47:20keep it down.
00:47:21Fair,
00:47:22it's fair,
00:47:23pay,
00:47:23all right,
00:47:23just keep it down.
00:47:24the day,
00:47:24fair,
00:47:25wait,
00:47:25it's fair,
00:47:26pay!
00:47:27I'll sign that
00:47:28paper for you.
00:47:29Yeah,
00:47:30all right,
00:47:30good.
00:47:33Where's the rest
00:47:34of it?
00:47:34What?
00:47:35Well,
00:47:35I can't sign this
00:47:36without a custody
00:47:36agreement.
00:47:37A custody agreement?
00:47:40Sure,
00:47:40this child is just
00:47:41as much Hallie's
00:47:42as she is Craig's.
00:47:45You lied.
00:47:47No,
00:47:47no,
00:47:47no,
00:47:48I didn't,
00:47:48no,
00:47:49I swear.
00:47:51How is this
00:47:51even possible?
00:47:53Well,
00:47:53she's adopted.
00:47:54I mean,
00:47:54I did the paperwork
00:47:55myself,
00:47:55you enlisted
00:47:56as parent number
00:47:56one.
00:47:57Geez,
00:47:57I would've thought
00:47:58he would've told
00:47:58you about it
00:47:59by now.
00:48:00This is not good.
00:48:01A husband is one
00:48:02thing,
00:48:03but a child?
00:48:04If this gets out,
00:48:05I am sunk.
00:48:06Right.
00:48:06A messy custody battle
00:48:08never sits well
00:48:08with voters.
00:48:09Who said anything
00:48:10about a custody agreement?
00:48:12Hallie doesn't even
00:48:12want the kid,
00:48:13right,
00:48:13Hallie?
00:48:14I mean,
00:48:15you barely even
00:48:15know the child.
00:48:16She'll give up
00:48:17custody right now.
00:48:17Where do we sign?
00:48:18It's not that simple.
00:48:19In a case like this,
00:48:20when a child's involved,
00:48:21both parties have to
00:48:22attend a parenting class.
00:48:24The next one
00:48:25starts tomorrow.
00:48:26Tomorrow?
00:48:27I do not
00:48:28have time for this.
00:48:29I have to get back
00:48:30to New York
00:48:31before the press
00:48:31starts asking questions.
00:48:35Go.
00:48:36Go,
00:48:36I'll get this
00:48:37sorted out.
00:48:38Fine.
00:48:39Take care
00:48:40of this child
00:48:41and this marriage
00:48:42quickly
00:48:43and quietly.
00:48:51How come you
00:48:51never told me
00:48:52that Natalie
00:48:52is my daughter?
00:48:57Natalie.
00:48:58No!
00:48:58You were just
00:48:59going to let me
00:48:59divorce you,
00:49:00never knowing
00:49:00that Natalie
00:49:01is my daughter?
00:49:02Shh.
00:49:10The adoption
00:49:11went through
00:49:12after you left.
00:49:14You didn't think
00:49:15I deserved to know?
00:49:16You could have
00:49:17called,
00:49:18written anything!
00:49:20I tried.
00:49:21What?
00:49:25And you were there
00:49:26with another guy.
00:49:27You looked
00:49:28happy,
00:49:30you looked free.
00:49:31Seems you don't
00:49:32need me and Natalie
00:49:33anymore.
00:49:34And that's why
00:49:35you never told me
00:49:36that I had
00:49:37a daughter?
00:49:39You looked like
00:49:40you'd moved on.
00:49:42Moved on?
00:49:44It took me years
00:49:45to move on.
00:49:49And honestly,
00:49:52I don't know
00:49:53if I ever have.
00:49:55Forget it.
00:49:57It doesn't matter
00:49:58now anyway.
00:50:00here.
00:50:05Parenting class.
00:50:08We need to take it
00:50:09in order to get
00:50:10divorced.
00:50:11Custody.
00:50:12Co-parenting.
00:50:14Legally,
00:50:15Natalie is just
00:50:16as much mine
00:50:17as she is yours.
00:50:18You haven't spent
00:50:19any time with her.
00:50:20You didn't raise her.
00:50:21I know.
00:50:23And whose fault
00:50:23is that?
00:50:26Class is at 8am.
00:50:27Don't be late.
00:50:32I knew
00:50:33Miss Hailey
00:50:34was my mommy.
00:50:36Mommy.
00:50:40Dad?
00:50:45Maya,
00:50:45what's going on?
00:50:54Daddy!
00:50:56He's okay.
00:50:57He's stabilized.
00:50:58Your old man's
00:50:59a fighter,
00:51:00Holly.
00:51:01And clearly
00:51:02he's fighting
00:51:02to see you again.
00:51:05No,
00:51:05fighting to see me?
00:51:07If anything,
00:51:08he'd be pissed
00:51:09to know I'm back.
00:51:11My dad hates me.
00:51:12That's not possible.
00:51:14Holly,
00:51:14he talks about you
00:51:15all the time.
00:51:16He does?
00:51:18Yep.
00:51:19Every Monday
00:51:19and Thursday
00:51:20at dialysis.
00:51:21That's how I know
00:51:22about your fancy job
00:51:24and your fancy boyfriend.
00:51:27None of this
00:51:28makes any sense.
00:51:29Holly,
00:51:30are you okay?
00:51:32Yeah,
00:51:33today's just been
00:51:35a lot.
00:51:36Maya,
00:51:37did you know
00:51:39that Natalie's
00:51:40my daughter?
00:51:44My shift
00:51:45ends in five minutes.
00:51:47Do you want
00:51:47to grab a drink?
00:51:50Craig has never
00:51:51revealed who
00:51:52Natalie's mother was,
00:51:53but he's never
00:51:55been with anyone
00:51:55since you,
00:51:56so we figured...
00:51:57Wait a second.
00:51:59He's never been
00:51:59with anyone
00:52:00since me.
00:52:01No,
00:52:02he left me
00:52:02for Trista.
00:52:03I saw him.
00:52:04Trista?
00:52:05She's been after him
00:52:06for years,
00:52:07sure,
00:52:07but he'd never
00:52:08touch her
00:52:08with a ten-foot pole.
00:52:09I don't understand.
00:52:11Just send me
00:52:12the divorce papers,
00:52:13okay?
00:52:15Craig!
00:52:17Oh my...
00:52:27Excuse me,
00:52:27Maya.
00:52:28I need to get
00:52:29to the bottom
00:52:29of this.
00:52:39Good to see you,
00:52:40Hallie.
00:52:41I know the truth.
00:52:42You were never
00:52:43with Trista.
00:52:45So tell me the truth
00:52:46about everything.
00:52:48Right now.
00:52:53Play me for it.
00:52:56If you win,
00:52:58I'll tell you.
00:53:06Looks like
00:53:07big city living
00:53:07hasn't dulled
00:53:08your A-middle.
00:53:09No,
00:53:10if anything,
00:53:10it made me sharper.
00:53:18You two are playing
00:53:19like your lives
00:53:20depend on it.
00:53:26Well,
00:53:28kinda do.
00:53:34Oops.
00:53:38If you do that
00:53:39again,
00:53:40I might just have
00:53:41to take you
00:53:41right here
00:53:42on the table.
00:53:44Too bad I'm engaged.
00:53:47What are you
00:53:48playing at,
00:53:49Hallie?
00:53:50I deserve the truth.
00:53:51Why?
00:53:53You came here
00:53:54to divorce me.
00:53:55What good
00:53:55would the truth do?
00:53:57I'll be the one
00:53:57to decide that.
00:54:11now,
00:54:13buss up.
00:54:21You scratched.
00:54:26I win.
00:54:27I win.
00:54:28Thank you, ladies.
00:54:29But I gotta go.
00:54:31I have an early start.
00:54:39Maybe I can find
00:54:40some clues
00:54:40in my father's room.
00:54:44Why didn't my father
00:54:45tell me he was sick?
00:54:46And why won't anyone
00:54:48just tell me the truth?
00:54:53Oh, my God.
00:55:00This will always
00:55:01belong to Hallie.
00:55:03And so will my heart.
00:55:04What is this doing here?
00:55:13What was this doing
00:55:14in my father's bedroom?
00:55:15Uh, Hallie...
00:55:16Tell me.
00:55:16Why was this
00:55:17in my father's room?
00:55:21Don't tell me
00:55:21you're about to
00:55:22propose, Hallie.
00:55:24Trista?
00:55:25What are you doing here?
00:55:26Surprise!
00:55:27I'm teaching the course.
00:55:30It's time for the
00:55:30two of you
00:55:31to get divorced.
00:55:34I mean,
00:55:34this is what
00:55:35you both want.
00:55:36Right?
00:55:37Of course.
00:55:39Hallie,
00:55:40you are
00:55:40Natalie's mother
00:55:42after all.
00:55:42Yes, but she
00:55:43doesn't know I did,
00:55:44so please
00:55:45keep this between us.
00:55:46I will always
00:55:48give you a favor, Craig.
00:55:49You know that.
00:55:51Okay.
00:55:51First topic.
00:55:53How to explain
00:55:54to your child
00:55:55why you're not
00:55:56together anymore.
00:55:57Uh, simple.
00:55:58Her father
00:55:59is a lying,
00:55:59manipulative jerk
00:56:00who hid the fact
00:56:01that I had a daughter
00:56:02for five years.
00:56:04Not to mention
00:56:05whatever other secrets
00:56:06he's keeping.
00:56:07And what would you
00:56:08have done
00:56:08if I'd come up to
00:56:09you in the library
00:56:09that day?
00:56:10Hallie,
00:56:11be honest.
00:56:12You're starting
00:56:13a new life somewhere else.
00:56:14Because you made me believe
00:56:15there was nothing
00:56:16left for me here.
00:56:17So what are you
00:56:17gonna do?
00:56:18You're gonna take
00:56:19Natalie to New York?
00:56:21Maybe.
00:56:22She belongs here.
00:56:24Not in New York
00:56:25with Central Air
00:56:27and no pair
00:56:28and I will be damned
00:56:29if I let Ned Vogel
00:56:31be my daughter's
00:56:33stepfather.
00:56:34Jealous, Craig.
00:56:35You know,
00:56:35of all the things Ned is,
00:56:36he's never lied to me.
00:56:38Never torn my world apart
00:56:39without so much
00:56:40as an explanation.
00:56:42You want an explanation?
00:56:43Yeah.
00:56:44I'll give you one.
00:56:45I did lie to you that day
00:56:46when I told you
00:56:47that I didn't love you
00:56:48anymore.
00:56:53I'm done here.
00:56:55I knew it.
00:56:58You just came here
00:56:58and you ruined everything
00:56:59like that.
00:57:00I knew you would.
00:57:01Ruined what exactly?
00:57:02I know the truth, Trista.
00:57:04You and Craig
00:57:05were never together.
00:57:07And that's about
00:57:08to change, sweetie.
00:57:10Once those divorce papers
00:57:11are finalized,
00:57:12I will have no choice
00:57:13but to choose me.
00:57:15Besides,
00:57:15Natalie needs a mother.
00:57:18you want to be
00:57:18Natalie's mom.
00:57:19Well, not particularly.
00:57:21But I can pretend.
00:57:23At least until I send her
00:57:24off to boarding school.
00:57:25After all these years,
00:57:27her father and I
00:57:27deserve some alone time.
00:57:29I mean, don't you think?
00:57:31Don't you dare.
00:57:36Go back to New York, Hallie.
00:57:38None of this
00:57:38concerns of you anymore.
00:57:40I think I'll go comfort
00:57:42your husband now.
00:57:45Oh, he looks upset.
00:58:03Let me out!
00:58:04Somebody!
00:58:08I'm so sorry about that.
00:58:10I didn't realize Hallie
00:58:11would try to provoke you
00:58:13like that.
00:58:13Oh, Hallie was right.
00:58:14I should have told her
00:58:16about Natalie.
00:58:17It was unfair.
00:58:18I need to apologize.
00:58:20Do you?
00:58:20Because you and I both
00:58:21know what Hallie would have
00:58:22chosen all those years ago.
00:58:24And it wouldn't have been
00:58:24you and them.
00:58:25I don't, because I never
00:58:26gave her the chance.
00:58:27I did.
00:58:29What?
00:58:30All those years ago,
00:58:32I told her about Natalie.
00:58:38I don't understand.
00:58:41I care about you, Craig.
00:58:43And I would never, ever
00:58:45lie to you.
00:58:46I told her that you
00:58:47had a daughter together.
00:58:48And she never even
00:58:50tried to contact you.
00:58:51Did she?
00:58:56I'm so sorry I didn't
00:58:57tell you before,
00:58:58but I was just trying
00:58:59to protect you.
00:59:00She said that the
00:59:01last thing that she
00:59:02wanted was a daughter
00:59:02with you.
00:59:04She said that?
00:59:05Yes.
00:59:06In fact, she said that
00:59:08she didn't want any
00:59:09kids at all.
00:59:10Hallie was born to be
00:59:11a mother.
00:59:12That's all she's ever
00:59:13wanted.
00:59:14Is it?
00:59:15This is from the judge.
00:59:18She's planning on
00:59:19giving up full custody.
00:59:21She's going to New York.
00:59:22She has no interest in
00:59:23fighting for you or Natalie.
00:59:26But I do.
00:59:27I do.
00:59:28I do.
00:59:34What are you doing?
00:59:37I'm just trying to help
00:59:38you move on, Craig.
00:59:40Hallie will never choose
00:59:42you.
00:59:42But I will.
00:59:44It's not going to happen,
00:59:46Trista.
00:59:46It's not.
00:59:47Natalie.
00:59:48Natalie needs a mother.
00:59:49You know it and I know it.
00:59:51You need to move on, Craig,
00:59:52and come back to reality.
00:59:54Let me out!
00:59:57Hallie?
00:59:59What did you do to her?
01:00:01Nothing!
01:00:01Nothing!
01:00:02Nothing!
01:00:02This was a mistake.
01:00:04Having you help me out
01:00:05all those years ago
01:00:06is the biggest regret
01:00:07of my life.
01:00:08It's never going to happen,
01:00:09no matter what happens
01:00:11with me and Hallie!
01:00:18You want to play it like that?
01:00:21So be it.
01:00:26Hi!
01:00:28I'd like to speak to
01:00:29Senator Ned Vogel, please.
01:00:34Are you okay?
01:00:36Don't.
01:00:38Why do you care, Craig?
01:00:39Is everything you tell me a lie?
01:00:42What?
01:00:42I saw you kissing Trista!
01:00:45Don't try and deny it.
01:00:46You told me you loved me.
01:00:49I don't believe a word you say.
01:00:51Hallie, please, please believe me.
01:00:53That was a mistake!
01:00:54God, the only mistake I ever made
01:00:56was coming back here.
01:00:58I don't know what I thought I'd find.
01:01:01But now I know.
01:01:03I dodged a bullet seven years ago.
01:01:09I don't know.
