00:00In just 10 minutes, we'll be interviewing the guy who stole girls' hearts worldwide, Ryan Mitchell.
00:04His third album has sold over 3 million copies in 24 hours.
00:08No, thank you.
00:09I was looking forward to watching that.
00:11What are you doing here?
00:12Easy. Don't take it out on the bread.
00:17Nervous.
00:18I don't know why. It is my second year teaching, and I am more nervous than when I started.
00:22You'll be fine. The kids love you.
00:24It is about leaving them, isn't it? They're only coming to mind.
00:26I know. It is just...
00:28Don't worry. They love me.
00:29Speaking of, where are they?
00:31Mommy!
00:32Good morning to you, too.
00:33Are we going to Uncle Jake's house today?
00:36You are? Mommy's starting work again, and tomorrow you're starting playgroup.
00:40With Gray?
00:41Mommy! Uncle Jakey!
00:42There is my girl.
00:43Nearly five years ago, I gave birth to my twins. Noah came first.
00:47Grace arrived nine minutes later, a complete surprise.
00:50Their father wasn't there. He hasn't been here since.
00:52Relax. Everything's fine.
00:54I'll be at yours around 5.
00:56I put everything in their bags.
00:58You have my number. They're medicine.
00:59It is not the first time I've looked after them, Emma.
01:02I just hate leaving them.
01:04Be good for Uncle Jake, okay?
01:06Yes, Mommy!
01:07I built this life from nothing.
01:09I have everything I need.
01:11Almost everything.
01:13Thank you, everyone.
01:17I teach music at the same school I graduated from.
01:21At first it was strange, reliving the good and the bad.
01:25But nothing really changes.
01:26High school will always be high school.
01:29Guess who?
01:30Emma!
01:31Uh...
01:32Damn!
01:33Every time!
01:34Hey, Emma.
01:35Excited for the new year?
01:36Always.
01:37You?
01:37Why not?
01:39Okay, class.
01:40First day of a new school.
01:42Scary older kids watching your every move.
01:44Not knowing anyone.
01:45Wanting to run home.
01:46Am I getting it right?
01:48I've been through it.
01:49Don't worry.
01:49It gets better today.
01:50Since it is our first class,
01:51I want you to get to know each other and feel comfortable here.
01:54Sound fair?
01:54I'll start.
01:55My name is Miss Clark.
01:57I have two beautiful children and I love music.
01:59My favorite instrument is the piano.
02:01Your turn.
02:02Okay.
02:03My name is Remy.
02:04I went to St. Peter's.
02:05I have a little sister who's six.
02:07And someday I hope to change the world.
02:09I believe you will.
02:14Mommy, Uncle Jake promised to take me swimming.
02:16Hey, kid.
02:17Did he eat now?
02:18Maybe.
02:19Always making promises.
02:21Mommy!
02:22Mommy!
02:22The Tickle Monster wants to play.
02:31What did I miss?
02:32My wedding photos finally came through.
02:34That is amazing.
02:35You brought them.
02:36Not yet.
02:37Still looking through them.
02:38I promise I'll bring them over.
02:39I'll hold you to that.
02:40So, what is new?
02:42Well, um, you know, maybe...
02:47What?
02:48Jake and I are moving the wedding forward.
02:50To when?
02:51I thought December.
02:52Two months forward.
02:53October.
02:54Seriously.
02:55Can you get everything done by then?
02:57That's what I have you girls for.
03:04No.
03:06Sir, the tour schedule has been set.
03:08I said no.
03:10My client isn't happy with the current schedule.
03:13We can tweak it.
03:14Of course.
03:14When would you prefer?
03:16When would you prefer?
03:17Mid-January.
03:18My boss will need a reason, sir.
03:23Family matter.
03:26This meeting is over.
03:27Total waste of time.
03:29But you got what you wanted.
03:30Vincent, I never want anything.
03:32The crowd's getting bigger since you arrived.
03:36Let's just get this over with.
03:37Five years of fame.
03:39I loved most of it.
03:40My first single hit number one in two days.
03:43I was dizzy.
03:44Tours, signings, sharing stages with idols.
03:48Two years flew by.
03:49But when it all fell quiet,
03:51I was alone.
03:55Hello?
03:55Hey, brother.
03:56Jack.
03:57It's been a while.
03:58Listen, I'm moving the wedding up to October.
04:00Need my best man there early.
04:01I'll drive back tomorrow.
04:02Ryan, there's something I need to talk to you about when you get here.
04:05What is it?
04:05Can't say over the phone.
04:06Just be prepared tomorrow.
04:08I want to help out.
04:10Besides, it's been years.
04:12I think that's a great idea.
04:17Come with me.
04:18And I don't want the paparazzi bothering you.
04:21I love how you protect me.
04:34Get some rest.
04:36Long day tomorrow.
04:38Five years ago, I left her.
04:40I made a promise, and I broke it.
04:43Tomorrow, I'm going back to that town.
04:45Where it all began.
04:46Where it all fell apart.
04:49Emma, I need to tell you something.
04:51Okay.
04:52Um, I, uh...
04:54Why is everyone doing this?
04:56This.
04:56Doing what?
04:57You start to say something, then you hesitate, then you change the subject, or just run off.
05:00You.
05:00Jack.
05:01Lily.
05:02Fiona.
05:02All of you.
05:03What are you hiding from me?
05:04Oh, that.
05:05Oh, that.
05:06I was hoping you could cover Mr. Henderson's English class for me on Thursday.
05:09He teaches English.
05:10And there's a schoolably on Thursday.
05:11I know.
05:12Please.
05:12I'm asking as a friend.
05:13And if you say no, I'm ordering you as the head of the music department.
05:16You can't refuse that.
05:17Fine.
05:18Can I ask why?
05:19No.
05:19Why not?
05:21I don't want to be the one who tells you.
05:22Remind me again why I, a music teacher, am covering an English class?
05:26Because you love me and you're willing to do me a favor.
05:28That's not a good enough reason.
05:34Does anyone know what's going on in the music department today?
05:37Some celebrity is speaking at the assembly.
05:39Great.
05:40And I'm stuck in here.
05:41Mother's so nice.
05:42We don't want to be stuck in a class.
05:43Tell you what.
05:44Go outside and write a one-page story about your summer vacation.
05:47Fair?
05:48Yeah.
05:50Miss Clark, why won't Mr. Market let you go to the assembly?
05:53I'd like to know that too.
05:55Then let's sneak in and see.
05:56I can't let you sneak into an assembly.
05:58Fine.
05:59We'll just stay outside and work on our assignments.
06:01Very seriously.
06:07I caught your three little swordsmen sneaking into my assembly.
06:10I told them not to go.
06:12I'm sure you did.
06:14He's so handsome.
06:15I can't believe the school got him.
06:17He's super famous.
06:18Who is the guest speaker?
06:20See you tomorrow.
06:22What is wrong with everyone?
06:23Honey, wake up.
06:24We're here.
06:26I'm up.
06:27Sort out your hair.
06:28I'm so excited seeing where you grew up, where you went to school.
06:32She hadn't met my parents yet.
06:33They've been doing better the last five years, but they barely spoke to me.
06:36Like they were angry at me for something I couldn't name.
06:39Ryan, tomorrow you are the guest speaker at your old school's music assembly.
06:43Sure.
06:44Aren't you excited to see your old friends?
06:46Some of them.
06:47I'm not sure how they'll react to me being back.
06:50It'll be fine.
06:51Just talk.
06:52Probably.
06:53My old locker, right next to hers.
06:56The football field where we celebrated after the big game.
06:59Every corner of this place holds a piece of her.
07:01Ryan, you okay?
07:02I am ready.
07:04Please welcome Ryan Mitchell.
07:09Welcome back.
07:10Six years ago, I was sitting in that crowd.
07:12Now look at me.
07:13Famous, successful, and completely lost.
07:15It's an honor to have you back, Ryan.
07:17It is a pleasure to be back, sir.
07:20That went well?
07:22Yeah, it did.
07:24She wasn't there.
07:25Part of me was relieved.
07:26The rest of me was terrified of what that meant.
07:29Thanks for coming early, man.
07:31Lily's been stressing about everything.
07:32That's what best men are for.
07:36It's the florist.
07:37I've got to take this.
07:38Come on, buddy.
07:39Let's go inside.
07:41Ryan, could you keep an eye on Grace?
07:43Sure.
07:44Grace?
07:45Grace?
07:46Where are you?
07:47Grace?
07:49Jake's going to kill me.
07:52Grace?
07:53Grace, what are you doing up there?
07:54What's your name?
07:55Ryan, now will you come down?
07:57Nope.
07:57Who are you?
07:58I'm here for the wedding.
07:59I'm the best man.
08:00Oh, the pig man.
08:01Pig man?
08:02That's what mummy calls you.
08:03She calls you other names too,
08:05but I'm not allowed to repeat those words.
08:07Right, now please come down.
08:08I haven't seen you before.
08:10No, first time home in five years.
08:12Why?
08:12I've been busy.
08:13No, you had the chance.
08:14You just didn't take it.
08:16Everybody has a choice.
08:17You just have to look harder and make room.
08:18You had the chance.
08:19You chose not to.
08:20How old are you?
08:21One, two, three, four.
08:23Four.
08:23Grace!
08:24Crap, Grace, come down.
08:25Fine, I can't.
08:26I'm too high.
08:27Grace, what did your mother tell you about climbing trees?
08:29I'm sorry, I want to come down.
08:32Okay, sweetie.
08:33Turn around.
08:34Put your foot in the hole in the tree.
08:35Can you do that?
08:43She needs stitches.
08:46Let's go.
08:47Now.
08:54Doctor, we need a doctor here.
08:58I need to make a call.
08:59Be right back.
09:04Who are you?
09:06Who are you?
09:06Sorry, kid.
09:07I've been gone five years.
09:08Will Grace be okay?
09:10Don't worry.
09:11She'll be fine.
09:13Maybe a little scar.
09:14Mom is gonna be so mad.
09:17Don't remind me.
09:19She's gonna kill me.
09:20When's mom coming?
09:21Any minute now.
09:22Okay.
09:24Okay.
09:26Okay.
09:26Where's Grace?
09:27She's fine.
09:27Just a few stitches.
09:29What is he doing here?
09:31He just got back yesterday.
09:33You're in big trouble.
09:34Emma will freak off when she sees him.
09:36Mom!
09:40Help me.
09:42Where is she?
09:43What happened?
09:43Is she okay?
09:44She's fine, Emma.
09:45She climbed a tree, fell, got a scratch.
09:47They're stitching her up now.
09:48A scratch, Jake?
09:49You call that a scratch?
09:53Okay.
09:57What is he doing here?
09:59Why is he here?
10:01Emma, I...
10:01Don't!
10:02Mom, what's wrong?
10:04Mommy's fine.
10:05Let's see your sister.
10:07This is what you've been hiding from me.
10:09What a mess.
10:19My baby, does it hurt?
10:22Mommy, my leg really hurts.
10:25It's okay.
10:25Don't be scared.
10:27You're very brave.
10:30I told you, don't climb trees.
10:33That uncle saved me.
10:35Which uncle?
10:36That piggy uncle.
10:38When I fell, he caught me.
10:47Is she okay?
10:48Not good.
10:49Twelve stitches.
10:50I'm sorry.
10:51I got distracted for just a second.
10:52I told you, no climbing that tree.
10:54I know.
10:54I already feel terrible.
11:05How long has he been back?
11:06He arrived yesterday.
11:07He's my best man.
11:08The wedding camp.
11:09Why didn't you tell me?
11:10Tell you.
11:10Would you have been okay with it?
11:11Definitely not.
11:12But I had a right to know.
11:13You, Lily, Fiona, Marcus, all of you.
11:16Treating me like I'll shatter.
11:17We just didn't want to hurt you.
11:18I don't need protection.
11:19I need honesty.
11:20He doesn't know about the twins.
11:22What?
11:23He doesn't know the kids are yours.
11:24He doesn't know he has a son and a daughter.
11:27Good.
11:28He can never know.
11:30Do you mind?
11:31You do?
11:38Okay.
11:39You've got some nerve showing up here.
11:40Jake invited me.
11:41I'm his best man.
11:42I'm not talking about the wedding, Ryan.
11:44I'm talking about right now.
11:45Sitting here.
11:46In her space.
11:47I didn't know the kids were-
11:49Hers.
11:49Yeah.
11:50They are.
11:51She has kids.
11:52Twins.
11:53She does.
11:54She raised them on her own.
11:55At 18.
11:57She looks...
11:58She looks good.
11:59Don't!
11:59Don't you dare sit here and-
12:04Hi, pig man.
12:05Hi, Grace.
12:06Grace, we're going home.
12:08Emma-
12:08Thank you for catching my daughter.
12:10We're even now.
12:10Goodbye.
12:11Emma, wait.
12:12Please.
12:13I know I don't deserve a single second of your time,
12:15but I'm going to be here for the wedding.
12:17We're going to see each other.
12:18Can we at least-
12:19At least what?
12:19Be civil?
12:20Fine.
12:21We'll be civil.
12:22But don't mistake that for forgiveness.
12:27She's stronger than you think.
12:29She had to be.
12:29Because you weren't there.
12:31She was a mother.
12:32She'd built an entire life without me.
12:34And I'd missed all of it.
12:36Mommy, is the pig man staying?
12:38For a little while.
12:39For Uncle Jake's wedding.
12:41He was nice.
12:41He caught me.
12:43I know he did, baby.
12:44Why don't you like him?
12:45It's complicated, sweetheart.
12:47Grown-up stuff.
12:48Did he make you sad?
12:50A long time ago.
12:52But I have you and Noah now,
12:54and you make me the happiest mommy in the world.
12:57Mommy?
12:57Yes, sweetheart.
12:58That man at the hospital.
12:59He looked at me funny, like he knew me.
13:02He's just Uncle Jake's friend.
13:03He hasn't been home in a long time.
13:05Does he know Daddy?
13:06Why do you ask that?
13:08Grace has Daddy's eyes.
13:09That man has the same eyes.
13:11You have a big imagination, mister.
13:13Get some sleep.
13:19Hey, how's Grace?
13:20Twelve stitches.
13:21She'll be fine.
13:22Fiona, he's here.
13:24I know.
13:24I'm sorry we didn't tell you.
13:26Noah noticed his eyes.
13:27He asked if Ryan knows his dad.
13:28Oh, Emma.
13:29What do I do?
13:30He's going to be here for weeks.
13:31The wedding, the preparations.
13:32He's the best man.
13:32I can't avoid him forever.
13:33You don't have to tell him anything you're not ready to tell him.
13:36But the kids, they look just like him.
13:38Grace is his mirror imagens.
13:39Anyone with eyes can see it.
13:41Then you deal with it when it comes,
13:42and we'll be right beside you.
13:43I spent five years building a life without him.
13:46I can't let him walk back in and destroy it.
13:47He won't.
13:48You're stronger than that.
13:53This is so wonderful.
13:55I've never seen an English countryside wedding before.
13:58I can't wait.
13:59So glad you could come.
14:03Ryan, the best man arrangements are set.
14:05Fitting for the suits next week.
14:06No problem.
14:07Anything else you need me to do?
14:09Just help out with the day-to-day stuff.
14:10And don't upset my sister.
14:13Sister, Jack.
14:14I've never heard you mention a sister before.
14:19Emma is my sister.
14:25You never mentioned this.
14:29Never had a chance to.
14:42So beautiful here.
14:44No wonder you love it.
14:59Is that Jack's sister?
15:01Yeah.
15:03She's beautiful.
15:04The little girl looks just like you.
15:06What?
15:07The eyes.
15:07She looks like she could be...
15:08Don't be ridiculous.
15:09Impossible.
15:10I saw it clearly.
15:12I'm not stupid.
15:14That child is clearly his mirror emission.
15:42You
16:25Hey, his girlfriend commented on my daughter's eyes Fiona, my daughter's eyes, which are his eyes. She doesn't know. How
16:32long before she figures it out? How long before he does? Grace is his carbon copy. What do you want
16:36to do? I want to get through this wedding and then never see him again.
16:39And if he finds out before then? Emma, I love you, but those kids are going to start asking questions.
16:45Noah already has. You can't run from this forever. Watch me. I'm fine. Let's go back in.
16:50So, entertainment. Emma's playing piano during the ceremony.
16:54You still play?
16:55Every day.
16:57That's great. You were always incredible.
16:59Thanks.
16:59Right, so Jake, bachelor party. When are we doing this?
17:01Two weeks before the wedding.
17:02Perfect. You're the best man. It's literally your job.
17:04Me? I'll sort something out.
17:06And we need to plan your hen night.
17:07Now we're talking.
17:08I vote spa weekend.
17:09I vote wine tasting.
17:10Why not both?
17:12Her laugh. I'd forgotten what it sounded like. No, I'd forced myself to forget. Because remembering her laugh meant remembering
17:19everything I walked away from.
17:22How did you get in here?
17:23Marcus. He said you'd be here.
17:25I'm gonna kill him.
17:27You teach here now?
17:28Music. Yes.
17:29That's perfect for you.
17:33This was Mrs. Patterson's room.
17:34It's mine now.
17:35What were you playing?
17:36Something I wrote.
17:37It was beautiful.
17:38Don't do that.
17:39Do what?
17:39Be nice.
17:40You act like we're old friends catching up. We're not.
17:43I know we're not. Emma, I know what I do.
17:45You promised you'd come back and you didn't. That's what you did.
17:48I wanted to come back every single day.
17:49You didn't. Every single day. For five years.
17:51I was scared.
17:53You were scared? I was 18, pregnant and alone. You don't get to talk to me about scared.
17:57Pregnant?
17:59Get out.
18:00Emma.
18:00Get out!
18:01Are they, are they mine? Emma, please. Are Wilson and Grace?
18:06Their names are Noah and Grace. And you don't get to ask me that. You lost that right five
18:11years ago.
18:12Please.
18:13Don't touch me.
18:17How was your day?
18:19It was good. Thank you.
18:25Are they my children?
18:32Noah and Grace. Are they mine?
18:39Emma. She let it slip. Jake, answer me.
18:44Yes.
18:47She found out she was pregnant after you left.
18:50She was 18. No job, no degree, all alone. She was going to put them up for adoption.
18:55I convinced her to keep them.
18:58Why did no one tell me?
19:01Because you left.
19:02You changed your number, disappeared, started a new life, and never looked back.
19:06Ryan, she raised them alone. The fevers, the sleepless nights, the first steps, the first
19:11words. She was there for all of it, alone.
19:13I have children. I'm a father.
19:15You're their biological father. A real father shows up.
19:19I want to know them. I want to be there for them. Then go earn it. Starting with Emma.
19:26I went to the school. And then Jake's.
19:28And?
19:29The twins. Noah and Grace. They're mine.
19:32I know.
19:33What?
19:34I've known since I saw that little girl through the cafe window. She has your face, Ryan.
19:38Your exact face. I was just waiting for you to tell me.
19:40Stella, I'm sorry. I didn't know-
19:42I believe you. But you know now. So what are you going to do?
19:45I want to be in their lives.
19:46And Emma?
19:47What about her?
19:48Do you still love her?
19:51I love you.
19:52That's not what I asked.
19:55I'm not going to compete with a ghost, Ryan. I've spent two years with you. I know when
19:59you're thinking about her. It's in the way you flinch at certain songs. The way you stare
20:04at nothing. The way you kissed me on our first date and whispered the wrong name.
20:08Stella!
20:08You corrected yourself so fast you thought I didn't notice. But I did. I've always noticed.
20:13That was two years ago. Things changed.
20:16Did they? Because from where I'm standing, you just found out you have two children with
20:20the love of your life, and you look more alive than I've ever seen you.
20:23I'm going to stay for the wedding. I like Jake and Lily. But you and I both know this
20:27changes everything.
20:33Mommy?
20:34Yes, sweetheart?
20:35The other kids at playgroup have daddies. Tommy's daddy picks him up every day, and Sadie's
20:39daddy coaches football. How come we don't have a daddy?
20:42Yeah, Mommy. Where's our daddy?
20:44Your daddy had to go away before you were born.
20:48Why?
20:48He had a job. A very important job. And he had to go far away to do it.
20:51Does he know about us?
20:52He does now.
20:53Is he coming back?
20:54I don't know, baby. I honestly don't know.
20:56Is it the pig man?
20:57Why would you say that?
20:58He has my eyes heads, and Uncle Jake calls him his best friend like Daddy was, and he
21:01caught me when I fell. Daddy's catchy when you fall.
21:04You two are too smart for your own good.
21:06Is that a yes?
21:07Yes. But listen to me. Just because someone is your daddy doesn't mean things will change
21:13right away. Okay? I need you to trust Mommy.
21:15We trust you, Mommy. Always.
21:18I'd five years protecting them from this moment, and a four-year-old figured it out in three days.
21:25Are you following me?
21:27Jake told me you'd be here. I asked permission.
21:30Permission? That's new for you.
21:32Can we talk?
21:33I'm busy.
21:34Five minutes. Please.
21:36Go play with no one for a minute, sweetheart. Talk.
21:39I want to be in their lives.
21:40No.
21:41Emma-
21:41You don't get to show up after five years and play father. They have a life. They have stability.
21:44They have me.
21:45I know that, and I'm not trying to take anything from you. I just, I want to know them.
21:49I want them to know me.
21:49They already know about you. Grace figured it out herself. She's four, and she's smarter than both of us.
21:54She's incredible.
21:54They both are. No thanks to you.
21:56I deserve that. I deserve all of it. But I'm here now, and I'm not leaving.
21:59You said that before.
22:00I know, and I broke that promise. I'll spend the rest of my life making up for it if you
22:03let me.
22:03Here's what's going to happen. You can spend time with them, supervised. At Jake's house, with me, or someone I
22:07trust present.
22:08You don't make promises you can't keep. You don't buy their love.
22:11And if you hurt them, if you disappear again, I will make sure you never see.
22:14I understand.
22:15And Ryan, this isn't forgiveness. This is me doing what's right for my children.
22:20Thank you, Emma. I won't waste this.
22:33Mr. Piggy!
22:35Grace, don't call him that. His name is Ryan.
22:39Can I secretly call him Mr. Piggy?
22:41Whatever you want.
22:43Noah. Noah, this is Ryan. He's Uncle Jack's friend. He wants to play with you today.
22:49Mommy will stay with you, okay?
22:53Do you play soccer?
22:56I used to be on my school's soccer team.
23:00Really?
23:00Of course. Want me to teach you a few moves?
23:09Okay.
23:14Noah, kick it hard. No, the other way.
23:19He's good with kids.
23:21It's only been one afternoon.
23:26He looks like a father.
23:27He is a father.
23:29He just never understood it before.
23:34Ryan, will you come back tomorrow?
23:38If your mom says yes...
23:44We'll see.
24:05Promise me something.
24:06Anything at all.
24:07When you make it big, and you will, don't forget about me.
24:11Not a chance.
24:12Emma Clark, you're the best thing that ever happened to me.
24:16Then you'll come back, right?
24:18Always. I promise.
24:27I got the record deal.
24:28I leave next week.
24:30I love you more than music.
24:35I'll come back for you.
24:36Wait for me.
24:37I love you.
24:38More than music.
24:39More than fame.
24:40More than anything in this world.
24:42Always yours, Ryan.
24:44You promised.
24:45I waited.
24:46Days turned into months.
24:48Till one day, I saw him on TV.
24:50A new life.
24:50A smile I didn't recognize.
24:52I stopped waiting.
24:52I started living.
24:53To Lily, who somehow convinced Jake Clark to commit.
24:56To Lily!
24:57I didn't convince him.
24:58He convinced me, eventually.
25:00After how many years of you playing hard to get?
25:02It was called quality control.
25:03Okay, truth time.
25:05Lily, when did you know Jake was the one?
25:06When he drove three hours in a snowstorm to bring me soup because I had a cold.
25:09He showed up soaking wet, holding a thermos, and said, I couldn't let my girl be sick alone.
25:14That's disgustingly adorable.
25:16Your brother has his moments.
25:17Don't tell him that.
25:18His ego's big enough.
25:19So, how are things with Ryan?
25:21He's been seeing the kids.
25:23Supervised.
25:25It's fine.
25:26He's trying.
25:27I'll give him that.
25:28Noah's warming up to him.
25:29Grace already has him wrapped around her finger.
25:30And you?
25:31What about me?
25:31How are you doing with all of this?
25:33I'm angry.
25:33I'm tired.
25:34And sometimes when I watch him with the kids, I forget to be angry.
25:36And that makes me even angrier.
25:37It's okay to feel more than one thing at once.
25:39I know.
25:39I just, I spent five years here when he was a villain.
25:41Now he's here and he's being decent.
25:43And I don't know what to do with decent.
25:44Maybe decent is a start.
25:46Exactly.
25:47Tonight isn't about me.
25:48Tonight is about Lily becoming Mrs. Clark.
25:51So, let's stop being deep and start being drunk.
25:53Now we're talking!
25:55To Jake, the bravest man I know, because marrying into that family requires serious courage.
26:00Watch it.
26:00Speech from the best man.
26:03Jake Clark is the best friend I've ever had.
26:05He took me in when my own family couldn't handle me.
26:07He trusted me with his home, his friendship, and the people he loves most.
26:11I didn't deserve that trust and I let him down, but he still asked me to stand beside him on
26:14the most important day of his life.
26:16That says everything about who he is.
26:17To Jake!
26:18To Jake!
26:19Good speech.
26:20Meant every word.
26:21I know you did.
26:22Jake, I need to ask you something.
26:23Go ahead.
26:24When Emma was pregnant, was she okay?
26:26No.
26:26She was terrified.
26:28She was 18, alone, and the guy she loved had vanished.
26:30She almost gave them up for adoption, Ryan.
26:32She was sitting in that hospital, holding two babies she didn't expect, and she almost signed the papers.
26:37What stopped her?
26:39Me.
26:40I told her she wouldn't be alone, that we'd all help.
26:42And mom walked in, saw those babies, and that was it.
26:45The whole family showed up.
26:47She looked around that room and decided to keep them.
26:49I should have been in that room.
26:50Yeah, you should have.
26:52But you're here now.
26:53That counts for something.
26:54Don't waste it.
26:55I won't.
26:56I swear on my life.
26:57Don't swear to me.
26:58Swear to them.
27:06This is Mommy, this is Noah, this is Uncle Jack, and this is Becky.
27:12That's amazing, Grace.
27:13And who is this in this drawing?
27:17It's you.
27:20Is that me?
27:21You're our family now.
27:23Mommy says family are those who stay by your side, and you're always there.
27:29I'll always be with you.
27:31I promise.
27:32Mommy says don't make promises lightly.
27:35Your mommy is right.
27:36That's right.
27:37If I had known...
27:38Would you have stayed?
27:40I would never have left.
27:42Can I call you Daddy?
27:45Of course, son.
27:48Yes, son.
27:49You can call me Daddy.
27:51Are you okay?
27:52Not at all.
27:53But the kids are fine.
27:55That's all that matters.
28:01What are you doing?
28:03Can't you tell?
28:05Stella.
28:07Today, the kids called you Dad.
28:10Jack told me.
28:11I'm not angry, Rayan.
28:13I'm just sad.
28:14For two years, I've hoped you'd look at me the way you look at her, but you never have.
28:18That's not...
28:18You love her.
28:19You always have.
28:20You just buried it under fame, distance, and me.
28:23You were never a consolation or a crutch, Stella.
28:26You matter to me.
28:28Immensely.
28:28I know.
28:29But it's not enough.
28:32I'll stay at a hotel in the next town.
28:34I promised Lily I'd be at her wedding.
28:36But after that, I'm going home.
28:37There was never an us, Rayan.
28:40Never.
28:40You were just trying to forget her.
28:42And I...
28:42I kept pretending not to see.
28:44Go be the father your kids actually need.
28:46And please, don't wait any longer.
28:49Tell her how...
28:55Where's Stella?
28:56She...
28:57had to leave early.
28:58She sends her love.
29:00As the guy who introduced these two idiots, I'd like to take full credit for this wedding.
29:04You introduced us at a football game.
29:05I spilled beer on her.
29:06And then he spent 20 minutes apologizing while I tried to tell him I didn't even like the shirt.
29:10Romance at its finest.
29:11To Jake and Lily.
29:12To Jake and Lily.
29:14I remember the time he had to give a speech in the third grade and his pants fell down.
29:19Following me again?
29:21Old habits.
29:22Stella left.
29:23I noticed.
29:24She said I never stopped loving you.
29:26Ryan, don't.
29:27I need to say this.
29:28I've been carrying it for five years and it's killing me.
29:30And what about what I've been carrying?
29:31You don't get to unload your guilt and call it love.
29:33It's not guilt.
29:34It's the truth.
29:34I loved you then.
29:36I love you now.
29:36I never stopped.
29:37Love doesn't leave, Ryan.
29:38Love doesn't change its number and disappear.
29:40Love shows up at 3 a.m. when your daughter has a fever.
29:43Love holds your hand when you're giving birth to twins you didn't expect.
29:46You don't get to call what you did love.
29:47You're right.
29:48What I did wasn't love.
29:49It was cowardice.
29:50But what I feel right now, standing here, that's real.
29:53And I'll spend the rest of my life proving it if you let me.
29:55I can't do this tonight.
29:57Tomorrow is about Jake and Lily.
30:00How do I look?
30:01Like the luckiest woman alive and my brother is the luckiest man.
30:04Don't make me cry.
30:05My makeup took an hour.
30:06You look incredible.
30:07I'll lose it when he sees you.
30:09Thank you for everything.
30:10For the planning, the decorations, the music.
30:12For being my sister before I even officially became one.
30:15You've been my sister since the day you made my brother smile again.
30:18How do I look?
30:18Like you're about to throw up.
30:20Helpful.
30:20You look great, man.
30:22She's going to love it.
30:22Ryan, I want to thank you for being here, for stepping up with the kids, for trying.
30:27You don't need to thank me.
30:28Yeah, I do.
30:29Five years ago, I wanted to kill you.
30:31Today, I'm glad you're standing next to me.
30:33Gentlemen, it's time.
30:43You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
30:48You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
30:50Don't make me cry.
30:52I just told Emma not to make me cry.
30:59Jake, do you take Lily to be your wife, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health,
31:04till death do you part?
31:06I do.
31:07Lily, do you take Jack to be your lawfully wedded husband?
31:10I do.
31:11Willingly.
31:12The rings, please.
31:18I pronounce you husband and wife.
31:21You may kiss your girl.
31:25Yay!
31:27Uncle Jake kissed Auntie Lily.
31:35Jack, you deserve every beautiful thing in this world.
31:39And lucky for him, that was supposed to be my title today.
31:43He became better because of you.
31:45To the happy couple.
31:46To the happy couple!
31:51Daddy, dance with me.
32:03Dance with me?
32:05No.
32:07Just one.
32:10For Jack and Lily's sake.
32:12That's all.
32:16One dance.
32:25You played beautifully today.
32:29The song you wrote.
32:31What's it called?
32:33Waiting.
32:34Emma.
32:34I wrote it the year you left.
32:36I played it every night, hoping you'd hear.
32:39Hoping you'd come home.
32:41I'm so sorry.
32:42I know you are, and I believe you mean it.
32:45But sorry doesn't fill five years.
32:47Then what will?
32:47Time.
32:48Being there.
32:49Every day.
32:50Not just the big moments.
32:51School runs, bedtime stories, skinned knees, nightmares.
32:55All of it.
32:56I want all of it.
32:56Your life is in L.A.
32:58Private planes, sold-out arenas, ours is here.
33:00School runs, grocery lists.
33:02What if I chose the ordinary?
33:13Show me.
33:14Don't just say it.
33:16Take your time.
33:17Ryan, the label needs you back by Friday.
33:19The January tour dates are locked.
33:20Press juggits start...
33:21Cancel them.
33:22Excuse me?
33:22Cancel the press juggits.
33:23Push the tour to March.
33:24I'm not coming back yet.
33:25Ryan, you can't...
33:26I can.
33:26I'm not retiring, Vincent.
33:27I'm restructuring.
33:28I'll record remotely.
33:29I'll do the tour in spring.
33:30But right now, I need to be here.
33:32This is about the girl, isn't it?
33:33It's about my children, and their mother, and the life I should have had.
33:38You've got until March.
33:39After that, the label won't wait.
33:41That's all I need.
33:49What are you doing here?
33:50School run, if you'll let me.
33:52You don't even know where the school is.
33:54That's why I need you to show me.
33:55Daddy, are you taking us to school?
33:58If mommy says yes.
34:00Fine.
34:01But I'm driving.
34:02Daddy, do you know the alphabet song?
34:04I think so.
34:05Sing it!
34:06Now I know my A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
34:09You're terrible.
34:10I know.
34:11That's why I sing other songs instead.
34:13Will you pick us up, too?
34:15Every day, if I can.
34:18You pushed your tour back.
34:19Jake told you?
34:20Jake tells me everything, eventually.
34:22I meant what I said.
34:23I choose sandwiches.
34:27Pick them up at three.
34:28Don't be late.
34:36I'm yours.
34:51Noah drew a family portrait at school today.
34:54You were in it, standing right next to me.
34:56He's never drawn a father before.
34:58Grace told her teacher, you're a famous singer who gave it all up just to get sandwiches.
35:01The teacher was so confused.
35:03Ryan, I need to say something.
35:04Go ahead.
35:06I can't forgive you yet.
35:07Not completely.
35:08Maybe not for a long time.
35:09But you've been here every day, every hard moment.
35:13And the kids, they love you so much.
35:15I love them, too.
35:16More than I ever knew I could.
35:18I know.
35:19Dad.
35:21I'm here, son.
35:24You're not leaving again, are you?
35:26I'm not leaving.
35:28Promise?
35:30Why not, Ryan?
35:33Why not, Ryan?
35:38Six months.
35:40I know.
35:43Can you answer me now?
35:47Ask me.
35:48Is there a chance for us?
35:58Noah, daddy's kissing mom, I...
36:02Some loves end in goodbye.
36:06Ours begins again.
36:09But you're not leaving.
36:09So far, I am.ushroom,
36:09of course.
