HOW ABOUT I WORK FOR YOU?

LEARN THE FAMILY

BUSINESS.

IF YOU'LL HAVE ME.

GRANDPA, I'VE SEEN

HOW EVERYONE RESPECTS YOU.

THIS TOWN IS BUILT ON

PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

I DON'T BELONG IN NEW YORK.

I BELONG HERE WITH YOU.

WELCOME HOME.

OH, WELCOME HOME.

BETTY'S BAKERY.

CAN I HELP YOU?

OH, HI, UH, IS

ROSEMARY AVAILABLE?

SHE LEFT ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.

GREAT. UM...

YOU CALLED YESTERDAY,

DIDN'T YOU?

LISTEN, I DON'T MEAN

TO BREAK YOUR HEART,

BUT ROSEMARY IS MARRIED.

SHE USED TO BE,

BUT NOT ANYMORE.

SHE'S WAY TOO GOOD

FOR THAT GUY.

HE'S A REAL JERK.

HEY, ZACH.

HI.

WANT TO GO:

THROW THE BALL AROUND?

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT,

GRAB SOME GLOVES.

JASON,

THERE'S A MAN OUTSIDE

WHO SAYS HE'S ZACH

AND HALEY'S FATHER.

HE WANTS TO TAKE THE KIDS.

I NEED BACK-UP.

YEAH.

I WANT MY KIDS. NOW.

THIS IS NOT THE WAY

TO HANDLE THIS.

YOU CANNOT MARCH IN HERE

AND PICK UP CHILDREN

WITHOUT THE PROPER

NOTIFICATION.

THAT'S AGAINST THE LAW.

GO CALL THEIR MOTHER.

YOU DON'T NEED

TO CALL HER.

YOU'RE NO GOING IN THERE.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, HUH?

STEP DOWN.

CALL THE MOTHER.

YEAH, GO AHEAD,

CALL HER.

TELL HER I'M DONE

PUTTING UP WITH THIS.

IF YOU ARE:

THOSE CHILDREN'S FATHER,

THEN YOU SHOULD:

ACT LIKE I INSTEAD OF

ACTING LIKE A FOOL.

I WANT MY KIDS.

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW MUCH

ABOUT THE LAW,

BUT ATTEMPTING TO TAKE YOUR KIDS

WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION

CAN GET YOU:

IN BIG TROUBLE.

SO CALM DOWN:

AND BACK OFF.

DID BRAD GET TO THE KIDS?

WELL, HE TRIED TO,

BUT THEY HAVE:

NO IDEA HE WAS HERE.

OH, THANK GOD.

THE JUDGE WILL NEVER

GRANT HIM CUSTODY

AFTER THIS.

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE

TO WORRY ABOUT HIM ANYMORE.

GLORY, YOU'RE SO BRAVE

TO STAND UP TO HIM.

NO, NO, IT WASN'T ME

WHO STOPPED BRAD

FROM GETTING TO YOUR KIDS,

IT WAS JASON.

JASON WAS NOT GOING TO LE BRAD TAKE ZACH AND HALEY.

JASON? JASON WHO?

HEY, MOM.

YOU!

YOU.

MOM!

HI, HONEY.

WAIT, YOU'RE

ZACH AND HALEY'S MOM?

YES.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.

ZACH AND HALEY:

ARE GREAT KIDS.

I KNOW,

I'M INCREDIBLY BLESSED.

SNACK TIME.

I'M-I'M SORRY I DOUBTED YOU.

NO.

NO, IT'S OKAY.

LOOK, I'M JUST A GUY

YOU BUMPED INTO ON THE STREET.

HOW COULD YOU KNOW?

THANK YOU FOR STANDING

UP TO MY EX.

I THINK YOU OWE ME.

I DO.

I TOTALLY OWE YOU.

ANYTHING.

ALMOST ANYTHING.

YOU STOOD ME UP, ACTUALLY.

NO, MY INTERVIEW

IN NEW YORK CAME THROUGH.

I CALLED TO LET YOU KNOW.

I'M SORRY, DID YOU NOT GE THE MESSAGE, ROSEMARY?

RIGHT...

OKAY, SO I'M NOT ROSEMARY.

I'M CHRISTINE.

MY NAME IS CHRISTINE EISLEY.

AND I WORK WITH ROSEMARY,

SO I WAS WEARING HER APRON

THAT DAY IN THE BAKERY,

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW

IF I COULD TRUST YOU,

SO I DIDN'T BOTHER TO--

-CHRISTINE?

-YEAH.

WAIT. WEIRD, UM...

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING

ALL OVER TOWN:

FOR A GIRL NAMED CHRISTINE.

SHE SAVED THE LIFE OF A WOMAN

WHO WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK.

YES, THAT WAS ME.

THAT HAPPENED TO ME

ON MY WAY TO WORK,

AND THE DAY I BUMPED INTO YOU

WAS THE DAY I LOST MY JOB.

WAIT...

OKAY, THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.

I, UH...

I GOTTA GO.

JUST...

YOU KNOW,

I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS

EVER SINCE:

YOU BUMPED INTO ME,

AND EVER SINCE:

YOU JUMPED IN FRONT OF MY CAR,

EVER SINCE I SAW YOU

OUTSIDE OF THE BAKERY,

AND INSIDE THE BAKERY...

WELL...

I GOT THAT OFF MY MIND.

WHAT A CHRISTMAS.

JUDY...

ARE THESE THE INVENTORY

FIGURES FOR TODAY,

OR LAST WEEK?

I'M CONFUSED.

MARSHALL,

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

JASON KNOWS:

WHAT HE'S DOING.

- I FOUND HER!

- WHO?

JUDY, I FOUND THE WOMAN

WHO SAVED YOUR LIFE.

WHERE IS SHE?

OH, GOSH,

SHE'S UNBELIEVABLE.

I'VE BEEN SEEING THIS

WOMAN ALL OVER TOWN

AND I NEVER KNEW.

SHE, UM...

SHE'S GOT THESE REALLY

BIG BROWN EYES,

HAIR DOWN TO:

ABOUT HERE,

A GREAT SMILE, AND--

JASON, WHO IS SHE?

HUH?

WHO IS SHE?

SHE'S A SINGLE MOM

WITH TWO GREAT KIDS.

CHRISTINE EISLEY.

SHE LIVES RIGHT HERE

IN WILSONVILLE.

MOM,

I CAN'T SLEEP!

KEEP TRYING.

ARE YOU:

CHRISTINE EISLEY?

YES.

SIGN HERE.

OH, I DIDN'T ORDER ANYTHING.

WHERE IS ALL THIS FROM?

IT'S A DELIVERY FROM WILSON'S.

IT'S AN ANONYMOUS SENDER.

THAT'S FOR YOU.

THANK YOU.

AND KINDNESS."

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

GIVE MY BEST TO SIMON.

CAN I HELP YOU?

YES, HI.

I RECEIVED A DELIVERY

FROM HERE LAST NIGHT,

BUT I DIDN'T ORDER ANYTHING.

CHRISTINE EISLEY?

YOU'RE CHRISTINE?

YES.

NO, THE ORDER WAS CORRECT.

UM... I'M SORRY,

WHO-WHO SENT IT?

MY WIFE AND I DID.

I'M MARSHALL WILSON.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

COME WITH ME.

JUDY?

YEAH?

THIS IS CHRISTINE.

OH, SWEETHEART.

YOU'RE THE WOMAN

FROM THE ACCIDENT.

OH, YOU SAVED MY LIFE.

I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE OKAY.

OH...

I OWE YOU EVERYTHING.

NO, NO, HONESTLY,

I DID WHAT ANYONE

WOULD HAVE DONE.

I WAS LATE GETTING MY KIDS

OFF TO SCHOOL,

I WAS LATE TO WORK,

I JUST WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE

AT THE RIGHT TIME.

NO, YOU WERE MEAN TO BE THERE.

REALLY, I DID

WHAT ANYONE ELSE WOULD DO.

THE GIFTS AND THE MONEY,

IT'S TOO MUCH.

OH, ON THE CONTRARY,

IT ISN'T NEARLY ENOUGH.

YOU SAVED:

TWO LIVES THAT DAY.

THIS IS MY GRANDSON, JASON.

WE'VE MET.

DID YOU KNOW ABOU ALL OF THIS YESTERDAY?

WELL, WHEN I FOUND YOU,

I KNEW I HAD TO TELL JUDY

AND GRANDPA RIGHT AWAY.

I WANT YOU TO TELL ME

EVERYTHING.

I CAN'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING

THAT'S HAPPENED THIS WEEK.

AND TOMORROW'S

CHRISTMAS.

AND ALL THOSE PHONE CALLS

FOR ROSEMARY.

AND YOU THINKING

THAT JASON WILSON

WAS FOLLOWING YOU.

I'VE KNOWN JASON

SINCE HE WAS A KID.

I USED TO WATCH HIM

AT LITTLE LEAGUE.

AND THEN LATER ON

IN HIGH SCHOOL.

HIS DAD WAS MY SON'S

BEST FRIEND.

OH!

BETTY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

WHAT IS IT?

THAT LOCKET,

WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

OH, UM, MY MOTHER.

MAY I?

SURE.

IT DOESN'T OPEN.

I GAVE MY SON THIS LOCKET...

JUST BEFORE HE WENT TO SEA.

NO, NO, THIS WAS MY MOTHER'S.

IT, UH, WAS GIVEN TO HER

BY MY FATHER.

AFTER THE ACCIDENT,

THEY SENT ME THIS KEY...

WITH HIS POSSESSIONS.

PLEASE?

OH...

GOD IN HEAVEN.

"FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS."

CHRISTINE...

THE GOOD NEWS:

DENNIS WANTED:

TO TELL ME ABOUT...

SURE, CLUTCH.

THIS IS FOR YOU.

I WANT YOU TO BE

WE'RE GOING TO BE

ON THE SAME TEAM, BUDDY.
