Holiday in the Hamptons (2024) Movie Script
(bright music)
(bright music continues)
(gentle lively music)
(phone ringing)
[Jade] Hey, it's Jade.
Leave a message.
(phone beeps)
[Dad] Jade, it's Dad.
I need you to call me.
[Jade] Hey, it's Jade.
Leave a message.
(phone beeps)
[Dad] Jade it's dad again.
You know, I don't
like repeating myself.
Call me.
It's important.
[Jade] Hey, it's Jade.
Leave a message.
(phone beeps)
[Dad] Jade, it's Dad.
Do not ignore me.
If you're upset that
we didn't have time
to see each other
at the funeral,
well, we're both busy people
and have to return
to the real world.
Call me.
Now!
Good morning, Jade.
Morning, Roxy.
Walter needs these
deals closed out by noon,
and your father's on line three.
You have my father on hold?
He insisted.
Take a message.
He's already left
eight messages this week.
Eight?
Plus three voice mails he
said he left on your phone.
What does he want?
I don't know.
He won't tell me.
Jade, I'm so sorry.
I know you said to never bother
you when your father calls,
but this is the ninth time
he's called this week.
Really?
Yes.
He has called twice
a day every day
since you got back from
your granddad's funeral.
Fine, I'll take care of it.
Thank you.
(jaunty music)
Hello.
I have been on
hold for 17 minutes.
I had a showing
this morning at 8:30
so the buyers could
get to work on time.
I left you three
voicemail messages.
I haven't had time
to listen to any of
my personal voice mails
since I've been back
from the funeral.
I've called you every day,
twice a day, since Monday
and left a message
every time I called.
I just got them.
I sent you an email
telling you to call me.
How can I help you, dad?
Well, you left before your
grandfather's will was read.
I had to get back in
the city for a closing.
Understood, but
you were in the will.
I was?
[Dad] Well, we were the
only family he had left.
I know, but he donated
to so many charities
when he was alive
I figured he'd leave
everything to them.
Oh, he left a lot of charity
from his estate, believe me.
There were so
many people there.
Everyone loved him.
Yeah, but he apparently
loved you most, Jade.
What do I have to
do to pick it up?
[Dad] Pick what up?
My inheritance.
I suppose there's some
paperwork I have to sign?
There's nothing
to pick up Jade,
except for maybe
sterling, I suppose.
Oh, great.
Maybe I can have somebody
ship it out to me.
Jade, he left you the
house in the Hamptons.
The cottage?
[Dad] Yeah.
But I haven't been
there since I was 10.
He wrote in his will that
his best memories there
were with you.
I haven't thought about
that place in years,
maybe decades even.
Well, considering how
often your mother and I
went to visit him
before she died,
he should have left
the house to me, but...
You hated going
to the Hamptons.
That was mom's thing.
Yeah, but I took her there
every summer till she died.
All he left me was a stupid car.
Maybe you can sell it for
me when you go out there.
I love that car.
Well, if you love this so
much, then you can buy it.
I'm not gonna ship it all
the way out here to Dallas.
I left your assistant
instructions
on how to get into the house.
Oh, I also left the state
attorney's phone number.
Call him, all right?
Okay, I will, dad.
Thanks.
[Dad] All right,
you're welcome.
I'm out.
Love you too, daddy.
(gentle bright music)
That's a great idea, Tom.
You know I've been looking
at making that move
for a few years now.
Yeah, we can get it set
up in the wintertime
and start in the spring.
I think that's perfect timing.
All right.
All right.
Yeah, I'll give you
a call back Monday.
Thanks, Tom.
You have a good weekend too.
And, oh, yeah,
tell Alyssa I said hi.
Okay.
Bye.
Jade.
How are you?
Oh, I'm fine.
Thanks.
I finished the paperwork on
those closings you asked for.
Hmm, okay.
Have a seat.
Is everything all right?
Well, I was gonna
ask you the same thing.
Haven't had a chance
to really speak to you
since you've gotten
back from D.C.
Oh, I'm fine, really.
I don't know much
about your family,
but Roxy told me
that your grandfather
was the last grandparent
you had left.
Yeah, yeah, he was.
And thank you for
giving me the time off
to go to his funeral.
Jade, you should have taken
the entire week off, okay?
I could have Andrew
cover for you.
No, no, I prefer to
do everything on my own.
And besides, it was just the
burial at Arlington Cemetery.
That's what he wanted.
I got back in time
to show the Hensons
the duplex on park
Monday morning.
Yes, you did.
And they were sure
excited to tell me
how much you helped them when
they submitted their offer.
I'm so glad.
Is there anything else?
Yes, as a matter of fact.
Are you working this weekend?
Oh, I wasn't planning on it.
But if you need me to,
I can change my plans.
No, if you have plans,
I certainly don't
wanna impose on you.
Well, it's just my
grandfather left me a sterling
and a house in the Hamptons.
I was gonna head
there after work
and appraise it
over the weekend.
I bet you were.
That's why you're
my top realtor.
Thank you.
You know, the Lord
works in mysterious ways.
And why do you say that?
So I've been looking at a
development in the Hamptons,
and I need my top agent
to head it up for me.
Seriously?
There's a developer
and a design firm.
So they've partnered to
create new neighborhoods
in underdeveloped
areas out there.
They're looking to bring
in a real estate partner
to create this perfect
real estate trifecta.
It's more than
I was planning on.
I was just going to appraise
my grandfather's house,
but this sounds like
a great opportunity.
Okay, it's settled.
You head out to the Hamptons
and work remotely and
stay in touch with me,
and I'll have some meetings
set up for Monday, okay?
Oh.
Oh, I wasn't planning on
staying longer than the weekend.
Oh, well is it a problem?
No, I just have
a bunch of meetings
and closings and
showings next week.
Don't worry about it.
Have Roxy reschedule 'em or
have Andrew cover for you.
He needs a commissions
for his wedding anyways.
That'll affect my commission.
No, no, no.
I'm gonna pay your
full commission
on all your deals while
you're out there, okay, Jade?
I need someone I can trust.
And that's me.
Great.
It's settled.
I'll give you a
call Monday, okay?
All right, I'll get on it.
Tom, I've got great news.
(bright music)
Hey, sorry, I
was having lunch.
I'm heading to the Hamptons.
The Hamptons
Hamptons out east?
Yes.
Ah, I've always wanted
to go to the Hamptons.
It's just beaches
and high prices, Roxy.
Still, all the
celebrities go there.
Now, during the winter,
it's a ghost town.
Why are you going then?
Well, for starters, my
grandfather left me his house.
You have a house
in the Hamptons?
It's more of a tiny
cottage from what I remember.
Oh, that's amazing.
Relax, Roxy, I'm
probably selling it.
Oh, that's too bad.
I don't have time to take
care of a house in the Hamptons,
or anywhere for that matter.
I could barely take care
of my own apartment.
Hey, you live in
Brooklyn, right?
Yes, Williamsburg.
Roommates?
Four.
Oh, well, how would you
like to stay at my apartment
and Tribeca while I'm gone.
Really?
Yeah, just take my
mail, water my plants
and make sure it's
clean when I get back.
Sure, yeah.
Thank you.
But how long are
you going away for?
I don't know.
Walter has some top secret
assignment for me to do
while I'm out there.
Can you set up remote
meetings where I can
and then have Andrew take
care of anything in person?
Andrew, really?
Yeah, that's
what Walter wants.
He's gonna insist on
taking half the commission.
I know.
Walter said he would
take care of it.
Besides, he needs the money
to pay for his wedding.
I don't think I've ever
heard of a Groomzilla before.
Here's the key.
I'll let the doorman
know that you're coming
and I'll text you the WiFi
code and security passcode,
and just help yourself
whatever you want.
When are you leaving?
Now.
I'm just heading home
to grab some clothes,
and then I'm heading out.
Have a good trip.
Yeah, well, see you next week.
I'm sure.
Bye.
(Roxy squealing)
(indistinct)
(train humming)
(gentle upbeat music)
(phone ringing)
Uh-huh.
Mm-hmm.
Just make sure the
listing is verified.
I already have signatures
from both parties,
so there's no issue there.
And run it by Andrew and make
sure he updates it online.
Got it.
So how is it?
Oh, I just got here
and it's windy and cold.
Ugh, and rich and
beautiful, I bet.
Roxy, I'm at a train station
Still.
So, did you get a ride?
Yeah, Arthur's picking me up.
Oh, who's Arthur?
My granddad's chauffeur
of like 30 years.
Oh.
Well, let me know when
you get to the house.
Will do, Roxy.
Bye.
Bye.
(bright music)
It is nice having
your back, Ms. Jade.
I'm just sorry it's under
these circumstances.
Thank you.
I know Teresa and Emilio
are excited to see you again.
Emilio's still here too?
Of course.
Your grandfather was
very good to them.
Their son too.
Diego.
I remember him.
You two are
inseparable every summer.
That was a long
time ago, Arthur.
I haven't seen him in 20 years.
Does he work at the house?
Diego?
No, he's very successful.
A landscape architect
at a very big firm,
as a matter of fact.
Well, I'm glad he is
done well for himself.
I wanna know if I
tripped over him.
I'm sure you'll be
reintroduced at some point.
Emilio and Teresa
took their day off
to celebrate their 35th
wedding anniversary,
but I'm sure they'll
be home later.
That's sweet.
I'll find a restaurant
in town or something.
Here we are.
Arthur, this is not
my granddad's house.
Yes, it is, I promise.
No.
No, I remember a cottage,
a tiny cottage with a blue
kitchen and a pink bathroom
that he had made just for me.
You're thinking
about the guest house.
The guest house?
Yes, you'll see
You aren't coming?
No, I have a client I
need to take to the airport.
Oh, well, it was really
nice seeing you, Arthur.
And if you need anything
while you're here,
you have my number.
Give a call.
Okay?
I will.
You better get going.
You don't wanna hit traffic.
You want me to
bring your bags in?
No, thank you.
All right, well,
enjoy your stay.
And if you need anything,
just gimme a call.
- Thank you.
- All right.
(gentle sanguine music)
(door squeaking)
(gentle bright music)
Oh, I always thought
this was a hotel.
(jaunty music)
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Get off of my stuff.
Get out of here.
Oh my god.
I'm calling the police.
Do you understand English?
The policia.
Vamonos, already.
(stranger speaking in Spanish)
Oh.
God.
A little warning would've
been nice as all.
Well, how is I to know you
wouldn't recognize the house?
Because I called it a cottage.
Mr. Lewis, I have the papers
for you ready to be signed.
In a minute.
Oh, I'm sorry.
[Dad] Do whatever
you want with it, Jade.
Like what?
It's a palace.
It's hardly a palace.
It's half the size
of the French villa
he left for the gardener's son.
[Jade] Diego?
I'm sorry.
I'll just wait outside.
Hang on, hang on.
This isn't important.
Of course it's important, dad.
Not you.
What?
Jade, I have things to do.
I don't care what you
do with the house.
Keep it, sell it.
It's yours.
I do not care.
Sell it?
You don't have
any memories there.
Get rid of it.
You should turn a tidy profit...
Maybe Walter can help you.
I don't need
Walter's help, dad.
I'm top realtor in Manhattan.
I'm sorry.
I'm in the way.
No, you're not.
Yes, I am.
There was that article
written about me that-
I just stay put
of it right there.
I don't need your help, dad.
I can handle this on my own.
Of course you can.
You're a Lewis
Then don't come out.
I never planned to.
So this is a test?
Jade, this isn't a test.
You're talking in circles.
You've never come to
me for advice before.
Why now?
You're all I have left.
You don't need anybody.
You never have.
You've been independent
since you were a little girl.
Yeah, that's
because I had to be.
Nonsense.
It's good for you.
Look at where you are now.
Do I have to sell the car?
(chuckles) That car?
You mean the old bucket of bolts
your grandfather left for me?
Yeah.
Mom loved that car.
Tell you what, baby.
Sell the house and buy the
car for me with the profits.
That's the suggestion
you're giving me?
Bottom line, do what
you wanna do, Jade.
Keep it, sell it.
It's yours.
I don't have time for this.
I'll speak you
after the new year.
(phone beeps)
I'm sorry, Mr. Lewis.
I didn't mean to interrupt
Kaitlyn, no need to apologize.
Money makes the world go 'round.
Right.
Of course.
Sorry.
Hmm. (Clears throat)
(gentle serene music)
(Jade exhales loudly)
(wood clacking)
(bright music)
(garage door buzzing)
What are you doing up there?
(Jade speaking in Spanish)
You...
You should have told me
that you were employed
at the house earlier.
I didn't mean to hit you.
I thought you were a thief.
You shouldn't be lurking around
people's things like that.
You know what?
No more work, okay?
Just take this and-
- But...
- Let's go.
No more trabajo, okay?
Just take the dinero and leavo.
(stranger speaking in Spanish)
It's very little, senora.
Are you kidding me?
(stranger speaking in Spanish)
I work many hours.
Okay, fine.
Here.
Okay, take that and go.
Adios.
Leave.
(stranger speaking in Spanish)
(gentle music)
(phone buzzing)
Jade Lewis.
[Roxy] Hey, Jade, it's Roxy.
Hey, Roxy.
Everything okay?
Yeah, it's fine.
Walter wanted me
to check with you
to see if you were
listing the house or not.
Which house?
The Hamptons house.
Wait, my granddad's house?
Yes.
He said you mentioned it to him.
Oh, I don't know.
It's much bigger
than I remember.
Well, there's a
developer out there
that he wants you to meet with
and he thinks that listing
a house is a good idea
to get in good with them.
I can't list my
own house, Roxy.
Which is why he
wants to send Andrew in
to list it for you.
But I haven't made
it in my mind yet.
Should I tell him that?
No.
I need the weekend
to think about it.
He wants you to meet
with the developer tonight.
Tonight?
I just got here.
They're having a holiday party
at a restaurant called
Manna Southampton.
He just wants you to pop in.
Do I need an invitation?
I don't think so.
He just told me to
tell you to show up.
Oh, ask for Tom Calloway.
Okay.
Anything else?
You've got a 9:00
AM with Tom Calloway
and a rep from the design firm
at their office on Monday.
I'll put the details
in your calendar
and email you the notes.
All right.
Have a good weekend, Jade,
and try to enjoy
yourself tonight.
Thanks.
And make sure to
bring in my mail.
[Roxy] You got it!
(bright music)
(lively music)
Excuse me.
Are you here for
the Christmas party?
Obviously.
You have to check in with me.
Jade Lewis.
I'm sorry, but you
can't go in there.
Lewis, L-E-W-I-S.
There is no Lewis on the list.
What about Walter Klein?
Are you Walter Klein?
No, of course not.
Then it doesn't matter
if he's on the list or not.
I can't let you in.
Listen, my boss asked
me to stop by this party
to speak with Tom Calloway.
A lot of people wanna
meet Mr. Calloway.
Right, but he
knows I'm coming.
Hmm, apparently he doesn't.
Can you just find him for me?
No, I'll lose my job.
Can I sit at the
bar and wait then?
Sure.
The bar is open.
Great.
Do they serve food at the bar?
Yes, but there's a
limited menu tonight.
There's a private Christmas
party in the back.
That's fine.
What can I get you?
Water, no ice, and a menu.
Greg.
I'm out of whiskey.
We need a refill.
I'll send some in.
Well, hurry up.
There's only an hour left
and I'm trying to take
advantage of the open bar.
Calm down.
I'll go get a box.
Thank you.
Do you know what
you wanna order?
Yeah, whiskey.
New England clam chowder
and a side salad, please.
What did you not
eat at the party?
That's okay.
I'm good out here.
You got a name?
Yeah.
I'm Chase.
You know you can tell
me your name, right?
I could, but I don't want to.
Are you playing hard to get?
No, I'm just not interested.
Maybe I can make you
a little interested.
Look, I said I
wasn't interested.
So why don't you just
go back to your party
and leave me alone?
Say please.
I think she says
she's not interested.
Well, well, well,
if it isn't protege.
All right, Chase, let
me get you a cab home.
Don't need a cab.
I'm not drunk.
All right, look, I think
it's time for you to go home.
Listen, I don't gotta take
orders from you until Monday.
I'm not telling you
this as your boss, man.
I'm telling you
this as your friend.
Friends?
We're not friends.
I've been here four
years longer than you,
you come in, take my
position as partner.
You're embarrassing
yourself, man.
Go home.
Yeah, well, I don't
gotta listen to you.
Yeah, I'm gonna go
back to the party.
Come on, sweetheart.
She said she's
not interested, man.
Greg, the whiskey.
I'm sorry about him.
You speak English?
Yes.
Very good English.
Where you going?
Don't talk to me.
Come on.
Look, let me buy you dinner.
Your food's almost up.
I've lost me appetite.
You still have to pay for it.
That's all right.
I got it.
That's my money.
Pay with your own.
Sorry, Greg.
Hey, wait up.
Ugh, go away.
Come on, I was only kidding.
Yeah, it was rude.
And assuming I only
spoke Spanish wasn't?
You could have said something.
You could have been nicer.
Why are you following me?
I'm not following you.
I live this way.
Then walk on the other
side of the street.
Come on, don't be silly.
Fine, then I will.
I said stop following me.
I just wanna make
sure you get home safe.
Someone has a hero complex.
There's a difference
between being a hero
and being a gentleman.
Yeah, and you're neither.
Are you actually mad that
I stepped in with Chase?
I didn't need any help.
I never said you did.
Oh, so you just butt into
other people's conversations
for fun then.
Sometimes.
That's rude.
I know you're following me.
I'm not following you.
I live right over there.
Yeah, sure you do.
Aren't you afraid
you're gonna get mugged?
I carry pepper spray.
Not by me.
Well, you're the only one
out here that might try.
Because I'm Latino?
Because you're following me.
I'm not following you.
Yeah, sure you're not.
Oh, I live right over there
with my parents and my dog.
I knew I heard voices.
Jade, is that you?
Yes.
Teresa.
Oh, it's me.
Look at the two of you.
Jade and Diego together
again after all this time.
Jade, feel free to call
me if you need anything.
My number is on the fridge.
I will.
Thank you.
I feel like my long
lost daughter is home.
I missed you too.
Okay.
I have to see to Emilio.
Goodnight.
I'll see you at home, ma.
Why didn't you just tell me?
Tell you what?
That you're a Diego.
Last time I checked,
I still am Diego.
It's been 20 years.
A little bit more
than that, I think.
So you should
have said something.
Jade, I didn't think
you'd remember me.
Of course I remember you.
How would I know that?
I haven't seen you since you
left for boarding school.
I wrote you letters.
And I wrote you back.
But you stopped after a while.
You didn't even come visit.
I couldn't.
Yeah, you could've.
Diego, I was 10 years old.
My dad sent me away
to boarding school,
so he didn't have
to deal with me.
What about your grandfather?
What about him?
You could've come visit him.
My father wouldn't let me.
He said it was too inconvenient.
He loved you, Jade.
I know.
Not having you
here broke his heart.
My grandad and I had
a great relationship.
I'm not saying you didn't.
Just saying that you should
have had the relationship
that I had with him.
What does that mean?
I was the grandchild
that he wanted you to be.
He was there at my graduation.
He was sitting right
there next to my parents.
He was at mine too.
But I was there
for your grandfather
right up until I
went to college.
And on my breaks, I
came to visit him.
Granddad came to
visit me all the time.
Yeah, but you should
have visited him
when you left boarding school
and you were in college.
I mean, he's the one
that paid for that.
No, my father
paid for my college.
Yeah?
You might wanna
ask him about that.
This is none of your business.
I mean, you're not
part of this family.
Why is that?
Hmm?
'Cause I'm the son of the
maid and the gardener?
Because you're
not blood, Diegito.
You don't have to
be blood to be family.
Your father's living
proof of that.
Mr. Brennan was as much my
grandfather as he was yours.
I'd like you to go.
Bye.
You can just leave the dishes.
Sure, my mom's
gonna clean them up.
Good morning, Jade.
Hi, Teresa.
What are you looking for?
The sterling.
Excuse me?
Granddad left me
sterling in the will.
I have gone through every drawer
in this dining room and kitchen
and I cannot find the sterling.
Have you asked Diego?
No.
Why would he know where it is?
Call him.
Ask.
I don't wanna
talk to him, Teresa.
Does he have it?
Just call him.
I don't have his number
Here.
Is this really necessary?
Hey, ma, what's up?
Do you have the sterling?
Where's my mom?
Why do you have her phone?
Is she okay?
She's fine.
She's standing right next to me.
Hi, Diego.
Jade is looking for sterling.
Why does she want to
know where sterling is?
You have it?
Why does it matter
to you if I have it?
My grandfather left
me sterling in the house
and I want what's legally mine.
Yeah, well, you're
not getting sterling.
Are you gonna make
me call the attorney?
Call the attorney?
I don't care.
You're not gonna get sterling.
Just bring
sterling here, Diego.
Mom, I'm not gonna
give up sterling.
Oh, yes, you are.
Bring sterling now.
- But...
- No buts, Diego.
We are waiting.
You might wanna wait
outside for Diego.
Why?
I think you're going to need
a little help with sterling.
Is there a lot of it?
You could say that.
What?
Forks and knives?
My grandmother's jewelry?
I don't know why he would
take that outta the house.
Sterling needs special care.
[Diego] Mama.
Oh, wow.
He wasn't kidding about
living across the street.
Go ahead.
I'll wait in here.
You are not taking my dog.
You don't even know him.
What are you talking about?
I want my sterling.
He's my Sterling.
The dog is named Sterling?
Yeah.
What did you think sterling was?
Silver.
Forks or knives or
platter or something.
You didn't know that
Sterling was Mr. Brennan's dog?
My father said that he left
me Sterling in his house.
No.
No, I didn't know
sterling was a dog.
You're not gonna take
him from me, are you?
I helped your granddad pick
him out three years ago.
I wouldn't do that.
I might be tough,
but I wouldn't come
between a man and his dog.
He left him for you.
I know.
We'll figure it out.
I'll call the
attorney on Monday.
Look, I'll pay you
for him, all right?
Whatever you want.
You can't put a price on love.
Thank you.
Come on, Sterling.
Come on, let's go.
Good boy.
Teresa.
[Teresa] In the kitchen.
You should have told me
that Sterling was dog's name.
You needed to find
out for yourself.
I wouldn't have felt
like such an idiot
if I knew Sterling was a
dog in the first place.
I think you and Diego
need to see each other's
personalities again.
You both love dogs.
We did.
What was granddad's dog's name?
Carrot.
Your grandfather
had several dogs,
but Diego took care of them.
Why?
There's plenty of room here.
Because Diego missed you.
What?
When you didn't come home
the summer after your mom died,
Diego kept coming here
to play with Carrot.
And when Carrot died,
your granddad got Goldie,
and Diego took care of Goldie.
And after Goldie, came Sterling.
It gave Diego purpose
and a chance to be connected
to your grandfather
and to you, Jade.
So you're telling me
a dog took my place?
No.
Not took your place,
just held it until
you came back.
What is this?
Does it look familiar?
It's our memory box.
Where did you find this?
Diego kept it in his
closet for 20 years.
I moved it to the basement
after we moved into his house
and found it last night
after I heard you arguing.
We weren't arguing.
I just didn't know who he was.
20 years is a long time, Jade.
It's a long, long time
to wait for someone
you're not sure is
going to come back.
You mean, me?
Do you know what
plant this is?
No, but they're in
every room with the house.
It's a jade plant.
If you take care of them,
they live for more
than 100 years.
My granddad kept
those to remember me?
No, Jade.
Diego did.
I think I'm gonna go
upstairs for a little while.
Shall I call you for lunch?
No.
You can go home, Teresa.
I think I'd like to be alone.
Okay.
I'll just finish my tea.
Thank you.
(gentle serene music)
[Mr. Brennan] Come on, kids.
Let's see some big smiles.
[Young Jade] How can we smile
when we won't ever
see each other again?
[Young Diego]
Don't see that, Jade.
You'll come back one day.
I'll wait for you.
[Young Jade]
But I'll miss you.
[Young Diego]
I'll miss you too,
but we'll have this picture
to remember us together.
[Young Jade] Dear, Diego,
I can't believe
we're teenagers now.
Remember when we said
we would run away
and get married when we were 16?
I can't believe that's
only three years from now.
I bet you have a girlfriend.
I hope you don't.
In case you do, I've
enclosed the key to our shed
so you can go there with her.
I wish I could have come
to grandad's to see you,
but my father said
that I have to stay at
school here in France.
Granddad bought a house here.
Maybe you can come and visit.
I miss you.
Love, Jade.
[Young Diego] When we're 16,
we'll come back
here and get married
and wanna wait together.
But we'll let your parents
and granddad know
where we are, right?
Well, duh.
Of course.
Just not your dad 'cause
he'll keep us apart.
Yeah.
And if I can't find you,
I'll come to the
shed at six o'clock
every single night
and wait for you.
You will?
Well, not all night.
I'll just walk by and
see if you're here.
Yeah, you wouldn't
wanna miss cartoons.
I'd miss cartoons to
see you again, Jade.
I would too.
Let's lock it up.
Ready?
[Young Jade] Ready.
[Young Diego] One.
[Young Jade] Two.
[Both] Three.
(gentle music)
(phone buzzing)
Jade Lewis.
Jade, it's Walter.
I'm sorry to have to
bother you on a Saturday.
That's no bother.
What can I do for you?
Tom told me you
didn't make it out
to the party last night.
I tried, but my name
wasn't on the list
and the hostess
wouldn't let me in.
Hmm.
I see.
Well, how do you feel about
having lunch with him tomorrow?
Sure, I'm free.
Great.
He and a rep from Lawrence
Architecture and Design,
they're gonna meet
you at two o'clock
at the Lobster Inn.
I'll be there.
So, how's the house?
It's beautiful.
Much bigger than I remember.
I'm gonna send Andrew
out there as well.
Andrew?
I'm sure I can handle
the meeting on my own.
Not for the meeting,
for the listing.
What listing?
Your house.
Jade, you know you can't
list your own house.
Oh, I'm not sure
I'm gonna sell it.
Oh.
Well, okay, no problem.
It's just, it was
my granddad's house
and I have so many
memories here.
Jade.
Really, no pressure.
I'll tell Andrew to stand down.
He knows about my house?
Well, I may have gotten
a little ahead of myself.
I'm sorry.
You know how I can get.
I'll tell him it's
not on the market.
Yet, anyways.
Thanks.
And I promise I'll
make a decision
by the time I get
back to Manhattan.
Great.
Do you know when
that'll be by chance?
Until Tuesday, at least.
You need to have the meeting
with the partners
on Monday first.
Keep in mind, Lynch is
an informal get together.
Lawrence Architecture
and Design,
they're the biggest
firm on Long Island.
They've been designing houses
with celebrities for years,
and now they wanna do
developments with Calloway.
I wanna be their
real estate company,
so make sure you impress 'em.
Understood.
And I'll give you
a call after lunch.
Great.
Thanks.
Bye.
(gentle music)
This will be the first time
that Jade sees her
abuelo's light display.
Yeah.
It is just sad that
he's not here to see it.
He is.
He can see us from above.
We just can't see him.
I miss him, you know.
I feel him around all the time.
He was so good to me.
Hey, you were
good to him, too.
Don't you forget that.
I know.
It's just that now I don't know
how I'm ever gonna
repay him, you know?
Repay him?
He love you like you were
his grandson, mijo, come on.
The only difference, mijo,
is that you are
actually here for him
when his granddaughter wasn't.
That's not fair.
You know that's not her fault.
Why not?
'Cause it was her
father's decision
to send her to boarding school.
You know that.
I do.
And don't forget that
I was staying in France
waiting at the house with you
and your mom to surprise her.
She never came 'cause she
had better things to do.
She had plans and
we were a surprise.
Okay.
What about after that?
What about after she
came back from France
and moved to the city?
New York City
is two hours away.
Two hours is nothing, Diego,
especially when
you love someone.
I loved him, you know.
Ms. Jade.
So nice to see you.
I loved him.
And we talked maybe, not
all the time, but a lot.
And he came to
visit me in France
and in New York and
wherever else I went.
I know he did, Ms. Jade.
I...
I didn't mean anything
about what I said.
I didn't know that
you were listening.
Well, that's how I know
you meant it, Emilio.
Is this what everybody thinks?
Ms. Jade, I'm sorry.
Well...
Well what?
Go after her.
(gentle music)
What are you doing?
We're decorating
for Christmas.
I'm not gonna be
here for Christmas.
It's your grandfather's wish
we decorate for
Christmas for you.
We've been doing it every
year since your mom passed.
(footsteps thumping)
Jade.
What did you do?
Nothing.
Why is she so upset then?
Ask your husband.
Should I go talk to her?
Yes.
No.
Diego will.
I will?
Go talk to her.
(knocking on door)
(Jade crying)
- Jade.
Where'd you get this?
No one thinks you didn't
love your grandfather, Jade.
I think we're all just upset
that you didn't come back.
My mom, my dad, Arthur, me.
Everyone.
We always thought you'd
come back and pick things up
where you left off for your mom.
I guess it hurt your dad
too much to let you go.
I know it hurt me a
lot to let you go.
But then again, I...
I don't think I ever really did.
And that hurt was
just impatience.
Just waiting for
you to come back.
But you're here now, right?
And my dad just said
that your grandfather's looking
down on all of us right now,
and I know he's smiling.
If you didn't love
your granddad, Jade,
you wouldn't be here.
You would've just sold
the house and moved on.
(gentle piano music)
I'll give you your space,
but I am here if you need me.
Is Jade coming down?
No.
She needs her space.
She needs a
shoulder to cry on.
I offered.
She doesn't want it.
Diego, you've been waiting
for this woman for 20 years.
Don't ruin your last chance.
Mom, she doesn't know me.
Then let her get to know you.
I'm a stranger, right?
She doesn't want to
get to know a stranger.
You are not a stranger.
You know her since she was born.
Yeah, and we lost
touch when we were 10.
He has a point, Teresa.
You said goodbye
when you were 10.
You wrote her letters
when she was in France.
You didn't lose touch
until you were older.
She has a point, Diego.
She's a stranger to me too.
I don't know anything about her.
That's not true.
You know everything about her.
Only what Mr. Brennan told me.
I didn't hear anything from her.
Maybe you should ask her then.
Fine.
You are right.
You are right.
You're right, of
course, you're right.
(gentle guitar music)
You need two
keys for that lock.
Oh, Diego, you scared
the daylights outta me.
What are you doing here, Jade?
Nothing.
I just wanted to see
what's in the shed.
You don't remember?
It was a long time ago.
I just wanted to see
if it was still here.
Oh, you mean if
I cleaned it up?
Did you?
I'll show you.
You wear it?
Well, at six o'clock, I was...
I was hoping you'd
finally be here.
You come here every
night at six o'clock?
Well, we promised, didn't we?
And when you left,
I would take Carrot on his
walks just to pass by the shed.
Then it was Goldie,
and, you know, it became
a routine, you know?
Oh, I see.
It wasn't every
night, all right?
I missed it when
I went to college.
But I do take Sterling on his
walks to pass by the shed.
So where is he now?
Well, I was hoping
you'd be here,
so my dad took him for a walk.
He feels really bad for
what he said, you know?
I know.
Are you ready?
One.
[Jade] Two.
[Both] Three.
(Jade chuckles)
[Jade] Oh, it's exactly
how I remember it.
[Diego] Yeah.
You never came in?
Nope.
Why not?
I sent you back the key.
I know.
And it broke my
13-year-old heart.
I never thought I'd
come in here again.
I don't remember this.
Oh, I forgot about that.
What is it?
Nothing.
Just give it here, Jade
To Jade.
Love, Diego.
Where'd this come from?
It was like 14
years ago, right?
I forgot all about it.
A present for me.
It was for you, but
you can give it back now.
No, it's mine.
It has my name on it.
Come on, Jade.
Tell me what it is
and I'll give it back.
It was a long time ago.
[Jade] Just tell
me what it is.
It's a promise ring.
A promise ring for me?
Why?
'Cause we said that we're
gonna run away together
when we were 16, remember?
You waited.
All night.
On your 16th birthday.
Till midnight.
And you never came.
I was in France.
I would've come.
Really?
Yeah.
You were the best part
of coming out here
during the summers.
I thought you
forgot all about me.
I can never forget
about you, Diego.
You know, I saved up my
money and I got you that ring.
I knew we weren't
gonna get married,
but I wanted to promise
that I would wait for you
for as long as it took.
But I never came.
Right.
So I pushed the box
through the window
and I still took my
walks at six, you know.
And then hope came back up
when I went to France with my
parents for your graduation,
but you never came to the house.
Why didn't you come
to my graduation?
'Cause we were told there
were only two tickets.
That was your father
and your grandfather,
and that we waited at the house.
My father never
came, you know?
Really?
I didn't know that.
He was supposed
to meet granddad,
but he had a meeting
and missed his flight.
I just felt so alone.
I didn't matter to him.
Yeah, well, you know,
you mattered to Mr.
Brennan and to me.
Yeah, I know that now.
You didn't know
that back then?
Maybe.
Or maybe I thought I just
made it up in my head.
When I was at boarding
school, I felt so alone.
I don't know.
I just felt like nobody
wanted me or loved me.
I did.
And I ruined it.
I pushed you away
because I didn't want you
to feel the way that I felt.
I didn't want you to feel sad,
and I didn't want you to wait.
I would've miss
cartoons for you, Jade.
Oh, well, I'm here now.
Is something wrong?
No.
It's just I am...
I waited a long time
to do this, you know.
Come on, (indistinct).
I'll walk you back.
You weren't locking it?
Oh, no, it's just a shed now.
I think we let all
the memories escape.
May I keep this?
Please?
Yeah, after all,
I bought it for you.
Thank you.
I doubt it even
fits you, you know?
I had no idea what I was
doing when I bought that.
Can I open it?
Oh, yeah, it's your ring.
Does it still have
a promise attached?
Part of me says yeah.
And what does
the other part say?
Well, the other part is,
it's my logical part,
which tells me that
it's been 20 years
since we last saw each other.
And when you leave, you
might not come back.
I don't wanna make a
promise I can't keep.
That's fair.
We gotta get to
know each other again.
Here we are.
Yes, we are.
Would you like to come inside?
Thank you,
but I don't know if
that's such a good idea.
Why not?
Because I don't want anything
to ruin how I feel right now.
I really wanna get
to know you, Jade.
You know me.
Not really.
We lived separate
lives for 20 years.
As much as I'd like
to fall in love
after just one kiss
over childhood memories,
I'm not naive,
but I do wanna see
where this goes.
So do I.
So I'll see you tomorrow then.
Same time, same place.
Maybe we can start with dinner
Same time then.
I'll pick you up at six.
Okay.
Goodnight, Diego.
Goodnight.
(gentle music)
(Jade chuckles)
Oh, I just got engaged.
I know.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
Okay.
Oh, oh.
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
[Arthur] Ms.
Jade, are you ready?
Yeah, just give me one second.
[Arthur] I'll be
in a car out front.
Okay.
Be right down.
Ow!
Ah.
It's okay.
People wear rings all the time
and maybe nobody will notice.
Ah.
Jade.
Jade Lewis.
Tom, so nice to meet you.
Likewise.
It's Trisha Lawrence,
owner of Lawrence
Architecture and Design.
Very nice to meet you.
I've heard nothing but great
things about you from Walter.
[Jade] Oh, thank you.
My newest partner is coming
and we'd like to talk to you
about the different amenities
you think would raise the value
of the properties we're
going to offer for sale.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I didn't prepare anything.
I thought this was
an informal meeting.
It is, but we'd still
like to hear your ideas.
You don't mind
if we wait for him
before we get started, do you?
Not at all.
Coffee?
Sure, thanks.
What a beautiful ring.
May I?
Oh, thanks.
Are you ready to order?
We'd just like some
coffee for now, please?
Sure thing.
Your fiance has
wonderful taste.
Oh, thanks, but I'm not...
Ah, here he is.
Jade Lewis, meet Diego Murillo.
- Murillo.
- Murillo.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
I didn't expect
to see you here.
Same.
Jade, Diego is our newest
partner with Lawrence A&D.
Yes, the new developments
will be his first
project as a partner.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Diego, Jade is a
real estate agent
with Walter Klein Realty,
and they're looking to expend
their offices out here.
- They are?
- We are?
Sorry, I jumped the gun.
I...
Please don't say anything
to Walter about that.
My lips are sealed.
Well, Jade just inherited
a property out here
so it makes sense that they
would send you over here.
No, actually Walter
didn't know about that
till after yesterday.
Well, the better then.
Do you two know each other?
Yes.
- Oh.
- Sort of.
It was a long time ago.
A very long time ago.
When we were children,
I used to spend my summers
out here in the Hamptons.
And last night
we got to reconnect
when she came back into town.
You better watch out.
Your fiance's gonna get jealous.
- Fiance?
- Milk or half and half?
Half and half, please.
You didn't mention
you have a fiance.
Maybe she doesn't wanna
talk about her personal life.
Yes.
We'll cross that bridge
while we get to it.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Well, you'll have to
relocate for the position,
but, of course, you'll
want to discuss that
with your fiance
before you accept.
We move out here permanently?
All right, we're getting
ahead of ourselves.
We're gonna discuss all this
in the meeting tomorrow morning.
This is just an
informal meet and greet.
Yeah, too bad you
couldn't bring your fiance.
Work and pleasure, Diego.
We will cross one
bridge at a time.
I hope this lunch will
be the first of many.
Well, you know
Lawrence A&D are in.
Diego and I are very
excited to get started.
And Jade.
Oh, as much as I would
love to join the team,
I would have to talk
to my boss first.
And your fiance.
I'm not sure who from the
team would take the position,
although I do know we would love
to work on the
developments out here.
Hey, that's good
enough for me.
Lovely meeting you.
Oh, you too.
If you'll excuse me.
See you guys at the
office on Monday.
I like her.
So do I.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Enjoy your Sunday.
(Jade groaning)
Ow.
Ow, ow, ow.
(Jade groaning)
(gentle bright music)
Hello.
Jade?
(tires screeching)
(gentle spirited music)
You might have to cut
the ring off, Ms. Jade.
I hope not.
Do you have any lotion
or petroleum jelly?
Maybe at the house.
We can swing by the
pharmacy if you like.
No, no, it's okay.
I'm sure Teresa will
know what to do.
She and Emilio are at church.
I'll just have to wait then.
Hello?
Anyone here?
Can I help you?
Yeah, I could ask
you the same thing.
Oh, do you work here?
Work here?
No.
Well, we haven't listed
the house for sale yet, so...
List it?
Jade's gonna sell this house?
I'm going to convince her to.
Don't, I'll buy it.
What?
Yeah, don't list it.
I'll buy it.
We don't even
have a price set-
I don't care.
I'll pay whatever
you want for it.
You probably need the money
for your wedding, huh?
That's a little
personal, don't you think?
Yeah?
How long have you been engaged?
What business is it of yours?
Just answer me.
Three years.
[Andrew] And we've dated
for four before that.
Unbelievable.
I don't see why
this concerns you.
What's going on?
Andrew, what are
you doing in my house?
Seven years, Jade?
What is with you?
Excuse me?
I thought you wanted to see
where things were
gonna go between us.
Now is not the time
for that conversation.
Oh, please don't
stop on my account.
[Diego] Why
didn't you tell me?
[Jade] I have nothing to tell.
Oh, yeah?
Well, what are you
gonna tell him?
I don't have
anything to tell him.
Andrew, leave.
Leaving.
No, Andrew, please stay.
Staying.
Diego, you're
making a mistake.
Yeah, like the mistake I made
when I kissed you last night.
Diego, please.
Tell him.
Tell him what?
Tell your fiance that
you kissed another man.
Fiance?
Jade, you're engaged?
To who?
To him.
Oh, that's nice.
Good choice.
That's the ring that I
got you when we were 16.
I tried it on this
morning and it got stuck.
Tricia thought I was engaged,
and I tried to correct her,
but then you showed up.
What would you have
liked me to have done?
Wait, so not engaged?
No.
Andrew, what are you
doing here anyway?
Walter said you were
thinking of selling the house.
Walter is wrong, and I
told him that this morning.
So I came out
here for nothing.
I don't know, Andrew.
There's a new
position opening up.
Ew.
I would never live
this far from the city.
It's nice for the summer.
Hmm, maybe a
destination wedding.
Can you please leave?
Oh.
Sure, I guess.
I am sorry for intruding.
I was talking to him.
Oh.
Well, I'm still gonna go.
Maybe hit the wine
trail or something.
Great.
Goodbye, Andrew.
So long.
I'd like you to go.
No.
Diego, get out of my house.
No.
Leave.
No.
Fine.
If you won't, I will.
You could've said something.
No one would let
me get a word in.
Well, you could've
interrupted.
How am I supposed
to explain this?
It isn't funny.
I didn't say it was.
[Jade] Then why
are you smiling?
Because I never thought I'd
see you wearing this ring.
Yeah, well, you wouldn't
have if it didn't get stuck.
Let me help you get it out.
No, I'll just cut it off.
No, you really wanna do that?
No.
Of course not.
But it's stuck and it's
cutting off my circulation.
All right, well,
stop playing with it
and just wait in the
living room, okay?
I'll be right there.
Ah.
Almost there.
Almost there.
Ow, okay.
Just cut it.
Ow, ow, ow, ow.
Voila.
You don't want it back?
Not really.
Why not?
I kind of like the way
it looked in your finger.
Yeah, maybe I
can get it resized.
Thank you.
For what?
The ring and for getting
it off without cutting it.
You're welcome.
(phone buzzing)
Oh, no, I forgot to
call Walter after lunch.
Is that your boss?
Yeah.
All right, take the call,
and when you're done,
meet me outside.
Why is that?
You trust me?
I do.
Finish the call and
meet me outside, okay?
Walter, I'm so sorry
I completely forgot to
call you after lunch.
It's fine.
I haven't heard from you,
so I thought I'd check in.
I think lunch went well.
You can say that again.
They're ready to enter
the contract tomorrow.
Really?
Congratulations.
Well, I hear congratulations
are an order for you.
Engaged?
Well, I was hoping you'd accept
the position in the
Hamptons expansion.
Do you need to speak
to your fiance?
No, there's no fiance.
They just assumed because of
a ring that I was wearing.
I tried to correct them, but
they moved on to conversation.
Okay, good.
Well, I was hoping we'd have
a better enough relationship
where you'd tell me
something like that.
So you don't have to
talk to your fiance?
No.
Boyfriend?
No.
Is there anyone
you need to talk to
to accept the position?
No.
Do you need to think about it?
No, not really.
Okay.
I'll go ahead and speak
to Andrew about it then.
Andrew?
What for?
To offer him the position.
But you just offered it to me.
Jade, am I missing
something here?
I accept.
I would love to open
your expansion out here.
I just need a few days to
move out of my apartment.
Hey, maybe Andrew
can list it for me.
Jade, that is wonderful news.
I'll get the paperwork
drawn up tomorrow.
Perfect.
Thank you, Walter.
You bet, thank you.
Goodnight.
Night.
Stay right here.
I plan on it.
What's that?
When you left
when you were 10,
your grandfather always said
that you would come back
and spend Christmas with us.
And I never did.
But still he had us
decorate this entire house
just for you.
He wanted to turn it
into a winter wonderland,
so he made us do the
same design every year.
Really?
Yeah.
That's what I was doing when
you found me on your roof.
When I thought you were
employed at the house?
Yeah.
My dad, your grandfather and I
would work on this every year.
Your grandfather really
wanted you to see this
and he made me promise
that I would keep it
going until you did.
Wow.
I hope he knows
you're showing me.
I'm sure he does.
You ready?
One.
Two.
[Both] Three.
(whimsical music)
Do you like it Jade?
I told you she would, Diego.
(gentle whimsical music)
Thank you.
He would've done
anything for you.
And so would I.
Anything?
Yeah.
How about keeping a promise
you made 14 years ago?
That's a good place to start.
(gentle bright music)
(gentle guitar music)
I want to believe in
the man in the moon
That the cute little dish
ran away with the spoon
Will come to her senses
and marry him soon
I really want to believe
I want to believe for
each broom there's a witch
That nine will be saved
when I made the first ditch
And counting my pennies
will make me grow rich
I really want to believe
I want to believe
there will be peace
Come next Christmas Eve
To believe magic is real
And not an illusion
of somebody's sleep
I want to believe for
my feet there's a cloud
That Jack was amazed at
that beanstalk he vowed
And no ugly duckling
grew up to be proud
I really want to believe
I want to believe
There will be peace
Come next Christmas Eve
To believe magic is real
And not an illusion
of somebody's sleep
(gentle music)
I want to believe
There will be peace
Come next Christmas Eve
To believe magic is real
And not an illusion
of somebody's sleep
I really really
really need to believe
(bright music continues)
(gentle lively music)
(phone ringing)
[Jade] Hey, it's Jade.
Leave a message.
(phone beeps)
[Dad] Jade, it's Dad.
I need you to call me.
[Jade] Hey, it's Jade.
Leave a message.
(phone beeps)
[Dad] Jade it's dad again.
You know, I don't
like repeating myself.
Call me.
It's important.
[Jade] Hey, it's Jade.
Leave a message.
(phone beeps)
[Dad] Jade, it's Dad.
Do not ignore me.
If you're upset that
we didn't have time
to see each other
at the funeral,
well, we're both busy people
and have to return
to the real world.
Call me.
Now!
Good morning, Jade.
Morning, Roxy.
Walter needs these
deals closed out by noon,
and your father's on line three.
You have my father on hold?
He insisted.
Take a message.
He's already left
eight messages this week.
Eight?
Plus three voice mails he
said he left on your phone.
What does he want?
I don't know.
He won't tell me.
Jade, I'm so sorry.
I know you said to never bother
you when your father calls,
but this is the ninth time
he's called this week.
Really?
Yes.
He has called twice
a day every day
since you got back from
your granddad's funeral.
Fine, I'll take care of it.
Thank you.
(jaunty music)
Hello.
I have been on
hold for 17 minutes.
I had a showing
this morning at 8:30
so the buyers could
get to work on time.
I left you three
voicemail messages.
I haven't had time
to listen to any of
my personal voice mails
since I've been back
from the funeral.
I've called you every day,
twice a day, since Monday
and left a message
every time I called.
I just got them.
I sent you an email
telling you to call me.
How can I help you, dad?
Well, you left before your
grandfather's will was read.
I had to get back in
the city for a closing.
Understood, but
you were in the will.
I was?
[Dad] Well, we were the
only family he had left.
I know, but he donated
to so many charities
when he was alive
I figured he'd leave
everything to them.
Oh, he left a lot of charity
from his estate, believe me.
There were so
many people there.
Everyone loved him.
Yeah, but he apparently
loved you most, Jade.
What do I have to
do to pick it up?
[Dad] Pick what up?
My inheritance.
I suppose there's some
paperwork I have to sign?
There's nothing
to pick up Jade,
except for maybe
sterling, I suppose.
Oh, great.
Maybe I can have somebody
ship it out to me.
Jade, he left you the
house in the Hamptons.
The cottage?
[Dad] Yeah.
But I haven't been
there since I was 10.
He wrote in his will that
his best memories there
were with you.
I haven't thought about
that place in years,
maybe decades even.
Well, considering how
often your mother and I
went to visit him
before she died,
he should have left
the house to me, but...
You hated going
to the Hamptons.
That was mom's thing.
Yeah, but I took her there
every summer till she died.
All he left me was a stupid car.
Maybe you can sell it for
me when you go out there.
I love that car.
Well, if you love this so
much, then you can buy it.
I'm not gonna ship it all
the way out here to Dallas.
I left your assistant
instructions
on how to get into the house.
Oh, I also left the state
attorney's phone number.
Call him, all right?
Okay, I will, dad.
Thanks.
[Dad] All right,
you're welcome.
I'm out.
Love you too, daddy.
(gentle bright music)
That's a great idea, Tom.
You know I've been looking
at making that move
for a few years now.
Yeah, we can get it set
up in the wintertime
and start in the spring.
I think that's perfect timing.
All right.
All right.
Yeah, I'll give you
a call back Monday.
Thanks, Tom.
You have a good weekend too.
And, oh, yeah,
tell Alyssa I said hi.
Okay.
Bye.
Jade.
How are you?
Oh, I'm fine.
Thanks.
I finished the paperwork on
those closings you asked for.
Hmm, okay.
Have a seat.
Is everything all right?
Well, I was gonna
ask you the same thing.
Haven't had a chance
to really speak to you
since you've gotten
back from D.C.
Oh, I'm fine, really.
I don't know much
about your family,
but Roxy told me
that your grandfather
was the last grandparent
you had left.
Yeah, yeah, he was.
And thank you for
giving me the time off
to go to his funeral.
Jade, you should have taken
the entire week off, okay?
I could have Andrew
cover for you.
No, no, I prefer to
do everything on my own.
And besides, it was just the
burial at Arlington Cemetery.
That's what he wanted.
I got back in time
to show the Hensons
the duplex on park
Monday morning.
Yes, you did.
And they were sure
excited to tell me
how much you helped them when
they submitted their offer.
I'm so glad.
Is there anything else?
Yes, as a matter of fact.
Are you working this weekend?
Oh, I wasn't planning on it.
But if you need me to,
I can change my plans.
No, if you have plans,
I certainly don't
wanna impose on you.
Well, it's just my
grandfather left me a sterling
and a house in the Hamptons.
I was gonna head
there after work
and appraise it
over the weekend.
I bet you were.
That's why you're
my top realtor.
Thank you.
You know, the Lord
works in mysterious ways.
And why do you say that?
So I've been looking at a
development in the Hamptons,
and I need my top agent
to head it up for me.
Seriously?
There's a developer
and a design firm.
So they've partnered to
create new neighborhoods
in underdeveloped
areas out there.
They're looking to bring
in a real estate partner
to create this perfect
real estate trifecta.
It's more than
I was planning on.
I was just going to appraise
my grandfather's house,
but this sounds like
a great opportunity.
Okay, it's settled.
You head out to the Hamptons
and work remotely and
stay in touch with me,
and I'll have some meetings
set up for Monday, okay?
Oh.
Oh, I wasn't planning on
staying longer than the weekend.
Oh, well is it a problem?
No, I just have
a bunch of meetings
and closings and
showings next week.
Don't worry about it.
Have Roxy reschedule 'em or
have Andrew cover for you.
He needs a commissions
for his wedding anyways.
That'll affect my commission.
No, no, no.
I'm gonna pay your
full commission
on all your deals while
you're out there, okay, Jade?
I need someone I can trust.
And that's me.
Great.
It's settled.
I'll give you a
call Monday, okay?
All right, I'll get on it.
Tom, I've got great news.
(bright music)
Hey, sorry, I
was having lunch.
I'm heading to the Hamptons.
The Hamptons
Hamptons out east?
Yes.
Ah, I've always wanted
to go to the Hamptons.
It's just beaches
and high prices, Roxy.
Still, all the
celebrities go there.
Now, during the winter,
it's a ghost town.
Why are you going then?
Well, for starters, my
grandfather left me his house.
You have a house
in the Hamptons?
It's more of a tiny
cottage from what I remember.
Oh, that's amazing.
Relax, Roxy, I'm
probably selling it.
Oh, that's too bad.
I don't have time to take
care of a house in the Hamptons,
or anywhere for that matter.
I could barely take care
of my own apartment.
Hey, you live in
Brooklyn, right?
Yes, Williamsburg.
Roommates?
Four.
Oh, well, how would you
like to stay at my apartment
and Tribeca while I'm gone.
Really?
Yeah, just take my
mail, water my plants
and make sure it's
clean when I get back.
Sure, yeah.
Thank you.
But how long are
you going away for?
I don't know.
Walter has some top secret
assignment for me to do
while I'm out there.
Can you set up remote
meetings where I can
and then have Andrew take
care of anything in person?
Andrew, really?
Yeah, that's
what Walter wants.
He's gonna insist on
taking half the commission.
I know.
Walter said he would
take care of it.
Besides, he needs the money
to pay for his wedding.
I don't think I've ever
heard of a Groomzilla before.
Here's the key.
I'll let the doorman
know that you're coming
and I'll text you the WiFi
code and security passcode,
and just help yourself
whatever you want.
When are you leaving?
Now.
I'm just heading home
to grab some clothes,
and then I'm heading out.
Have a good trip.
Yeah, well, see you next week.
I'm sure.
Bye.
(Roxy squealing)
(indistinct)
(train humming)
(gentle upbeat music)
(phone ringing)
Uh-huh.
Mm-hmm.
Just make sure the
listing is verified.
I already have signatures
from both parties,
so there's no issue there.
And run it by Andrew and make
sure he updates it online.
Got it.
So how is it?
Oh, I just got here
and it's windy and cold.
Ugh, and rich and
beautiful, I bet.
Roxy, I'm at a train station
Still.
So, did you get a ride?
Yeah, Arthur's picking me up.
Oh, who's Arthur?
My granddad's chauffeur
of like 30 years.
Oh.
Well, let me know when
you get to the house.
Will do, Roxy.
Bye.
Bye.
(bright music)
It is nice having
your back, Ms. Jade.
I'm just sorry it's under
these circumstances.
Thank you.
I know Teresa and Emilio
are excited to see you again.
Emilio's still here too?
Of course.
Your grandfather was
very good to them.
Their son too.
Diego.
I remember him.
You two are
inseparable every summer.
That was a long
time ago, Arthur.
I haven't seen him in 20 years.
Does he work at the house?
Diego?
No, he's very successful.
A landscape architect
at a very big firm,
as a matter of fact.
Well, I'm glad he is
done well for himself.
I wanna know if I
tripped over him.
I'm sure you'll be
reintroduced at some point.
Emilio and Teresa
took their day off
to celebrate their 35th
wedding anniversary,
but I'm sure they'll
be home later.
That's sweet.
I'll find a restaurant
in town or something.
Here we are.
Arthur, this is not
my granddad's house.
Yes, it is, I promise.
No.
No, I remember a cottage,
a tiny cottage with a blue
kitchen and a pink bathroom
that he had made just for me.
You're thinking
about the guest house.
The guest house?
Yes, you'll see
You aren't coming?
No, I have a client I
need to take to the airport.
Oh, well, it was really
nice seeing you, Arthur.
And if you need anything
while you're here,
you have my number.
Give a call.
Okay?
I will.
You better get going.
You don't wanna hit traffic.
You want me to
bring your bags in?
No, thank you.
All right, well,
enjoy your stay.
And if you need anything,
just gimme a call.
- Thank you.
- All right.
(gentle sanguine music)
(door squeaking)
(gentle bright music)
Oh, I always thought
this was a hotel.
(jaunty music)
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Get off of my stuff.
Get out of here.
Oh my god.
I'm calling the police.
Do you understand English?
The policia.
Vamonos, already.
(stranger speaking in Spanish)
Oh.
God.
A little warning would've
been nice as all.
Well, how is I to know you
wouldn't recognize the house?
Because I called it a cottage.
Mr. Lewis, I have the papers
for you ready to be signed.
In a minute.
Oh, I'm sorry.
[Dad] Do whatever
you want with it, Jade.
Like what?
It's a palace.
It's hardly a palace.
It's half the size
of the French villa
he left for the gardener's son.
[Jade] Diego?
I'm sorry.
I'll just wait outside.
Hang on, hang on.
This isn't important.
Of course it's important, dad.
Not you.
What?
Jade, I have things to do.
I don't care what you
do with the house.
Keep it, sell it.
It's yours.
I do not care.
Sell it?
You don't have
any memories there.
Get rid of it.
You should turn a tidy profit...
Maybe Walter can help you.
I don't need
Walter's help, dad.
I'm top realtor in Manhattan.
I'm sorry.
I'm in the way.
No, you're not.
Yes, I am.
There was that article
written about me that-
I just stay put
of it right there.
I don't need your help, dad.
I can handle this on my own.
Of course you can.
You're a Lewis
Then don't come out.
I never planned to.
So this is a test?
Jade, this isn't a test.
You're talking in circles.
You've never come to
me for advice before.
Why now?
You're all I have left.
You don't need anybody.
You never have.
You've been independent
since you were a little girl.
Yeah, that's
because I had to be.
Nonsense.
It's good for you.
Look at where you are now.
Do I have to sell the car?
(chuckles) That car?
You mean the old bucket of bolts
your grandfather left for me?
Yeah.
Mom loved that car.
Tell you what, baby.
Sell the house and buy the
car for me with the profits.
That's the suggestion
you're giving me?
Bottom line, do what
you wanna do, Jade.
Keep it, sell it.
It's yours.
I don't have time for this.
I'll speak you
after the new year.
(phone beeps)
I'm sorry, Mr. Lewis.
I didn't mean to interrupt
Kaitlyn, no need to apologize.
Money makes the world go 'round.
Right.
Of course.
Sorry.
Hmm. (Clears throat)
(gentle serene music)
(Jade exhales loudly)
(wood clacking)
(bright music)
(garage door buzzing)
What are you doing up there?
(Jade speaking in Spanish)
You...
You should have told me
that you were employed
at the house earlier.
I didn't mean to hit you.
I thought you were a thief.
You shouldn't be lurking around
people's things like that.
You know what?
No more work, okay?
Just take this and-
- But...
- Let's go.
No more trabajo, okay?
Just take the dinero and leavo.
(stranger speaking in Spanish)
It's very little, senora.
Are you kidding me?
(stranger speaking in Spanish)
I work many hours.
Okay, fine.
Here.
Okay, take that and go.
Adios.
Leave.
(stranger speaking in Spanish)
(gentle music)
(phone buzzing)
Jade Lewis.
[Roxy] Hey, Jade, it's Roxy.
Hey, Roxy.
Everything okay?
Yeah, it's fine.
Walter wanted me
to check with you
to see if you were
listing the house or not.
Which house?
The Hamptons house.
Wait, my granddad's house?
Yes.
He said you mentioned it to him.
Oh, I don't know.
It's much bigger
than I remember.
Well, there's a
developer out there
that he wants you to meet with
and he thinks that listing
a house is a good idea
to get in good with them.
I can't list my
own house, Roxy.
Which is why he
wants to send Andrew in
to list it for you.
But I haven't made
it in my mind yet.
Should I tell him that?
No.
I need the weekend
to think about it.
He wants you to meet
with the developer tonight.
Tonight?
I just got here.
They're having a holiday party
at a restaurant called
Manna Southampton.
He just wants you to pop in.
Do I need an invitation?
I don't think so.
He just told me to
tell you to show up.
Oh, ask for Tom Calloway.
Okay.
Anything else?
You've got a 9:00
AM with Tom Calloway
and a rep from the design firm
at their office on Monday.
I'll put the details
in your calendar
and email you the notes.
All right.
Have a good weekend, Jade,
and try to enjoy
yourself tonight.
Thanks.
And make sure to
bring in my mail.
[Roxy] You got it!
(bright music)
(lively music)
Excuse me.
Are you here for
the Christmas party?
Obviously.
You have to check in with me.
Jade Lewis.
I'm sorry, but you
can't go in there.
Lewis, L-E-W-I-S.
There is no Lewis on the list.
What about Walter Klein?
Are you Walter Klein?
No, of course not.
Then it doesn't matter
if he's on the list or not.
I can't let you in.
Listen, my boss asked
me to stop by this party
to speak with Tom Calloway.
A lot of people wanna
meet Mr. Calloway.
Right, but he
knows I'm coming.
Hmm, apparently he doesn't.
Can you just find him for me?
No, I'll lose my job.
Can I sit at the
bar and wait then?
Sure.
The bar is open.
Great.
Do they serve food at the bar?
Yes, but there's a
limited menu tonight.
There's a private Christmas
party in the back.
That's fine.
What can I get you?
Water, no ice, and a menu.
Greg.
I'm out of whiskey.
We need a refill.
I'll send some in.
Well, hurry up.
There's only an hour left
and I'm trying to take
advantage of the open bar.
Calm down.
I'll go get a box.
Thank you.
Do you know what
you wanna order?
Yeah, whiskey.
New England clam chowder
and a side salad, please.
What did you not
eat at the party?
That's okay.
I'm good out here.
You got a name?
Yeah.
I'm Chase.
You know you can tell
me your name, right?
I could, but I don't want to.
Are you playing hard to get?
No, I'm just not interested.
Maybe I can make you
a little interested.
Look, I said I
wasn't interested.
So why don't you just
go back to your party
and leave me alone?
Say please.
I think she says
she's not interested.
Well, well, well,
if it isn't protege.
All right, Chase, let
me get you a cab home.
Don't need a cab.
I'm not drunk.
All right, look, I think
it's time for you to go home.
Listen, I don't gotta take
orders from you until Monday.
I'm not telling you
this as your boss, man.
I'm telling you
this as your friend.
Friends?
We're not friends.
I've been here four
years longer than you,
you come in, take my
position as partner.
You're embarrassing
yourself, man.
Go home.
Yeah, well, I don't
gotta listen to you.
Yeah, I'm gonna go
back to the party.
Come on, sweetheart.
She said she's
not interested, man.
Greg, the whiskey.
I'm sorry about him.
You speak English?
Yes.
Very good English.
Where you going?
Don't talk to me.
Come on.
Look, let me buy you dinner.
Your food's almost up.
I've lost me appetite.
You still have to pay for it.
That's all right.
I got it.
That's my money.
Pay with your own.
Sorry, Greg.
Hey, wait up.
Ugh, go away.
Come on, I was only kidding.
Yeah, it was rude.
And assuming I only
spoke Spanish wasn't?
You could have said something.
You could have been nicer.
Why are you following me?
I'm not following you.
I live this way.
Then walk on the other
side of the street.
Come on, don't be silly.
Fine, then I will.
I said stop following me.
I just wanna make
sure you get home safe.
Someone has a hero complex.
There's a difference
between being a hero
and being a gentleman.
Yeah, and you're neither.
Are you actually mad that
I stepped in with Chase?
I didn't need any help.
I never said you did.
Oh, so you just butt into
other people's conversations
for fun then.
Sometimes.
That's rude.
I know you're following me.
I'm not following you.
I live right over there.
Yeah, sure you do.
Aren't you afraid
you're gonna get mugged?
I carry pepper spray.
Not by me.
Well, you're the only one
out here that might try.
Because I'm Latino?
Because you're following me.
I'm not following you.
Yeah, sure you're not.
Oh, I live right over there
with my parents and my dog.
I knew I heard voices.
Jade, is that you?
Yes.
Teresa.
Oh, it's me.
Look at the two of you.
Jade and Diego together
again after all this time.
Jade, feel free to call
me if you need anything.
My number is on the fridge.
I will.
Thank you.
I feel like my long
lost daughter is home.
I missed you too.
Okay.
I have to see to Emilio.
Goodnight.
I'll see you at home, ma.
Why didn't you just tell me?
Tell you what?
That you're a Diego.
Last time I checked,
I still am Diego.
It's been 20 years.
A little bit more
than that, I think.
So you should
have said something.
Jade, I didn't think
you'd remember me.
Of course I remember you.
How would I know that?
I haven't seen you since you
left for boarding school.
I wrote you letters.
And I wrote you back.
But you stopped after a while.
You didn't even come visit.
I couldn't.
Yeah, you could've.
Diego, I was 10 years old.
My dad sent me away
to boarding school,
so he didn't have
to deal with me.
What about your grandfather?
What about him?
You could've come visit him.
My father wouldn't let me.
He said it was too inconvenient.
He loved you, Jade.
I know.
Not having you
here broke his heart.
My grandad and I had
a great relationship.
I'm not saying you didn't.
Just saying that you should
have had the relationship
that I had with him.
What does that mean?
I was the grandchild
that he wanted you to be.
He was there at my graduation.
He was sitting right
there next to my parents.
He was at mine too.
But I was there
for your grandfather
right up until I
went to college.
And on my breaks, I
came to visit him.
Granddad came to
visit me all the time.
Yeah, but you should
have visited him
when you left boarding school
and you were in college.
I mean, he's the one
that paid for that.
No, my father
paid for my college.
Yeah?
You might wanna
ask him about that.
This is none of your business.
I mean, you're not
part of this family.
Why is that?
Hmm?
'Cause I'm the son of the
maid and the gardener?
Because you're
not blood, Diegito.
You don't have to
be blood to be family.
Your father's living
proof of that.
Mr. Brennan was as much my
grandfather as he was yours.
I'd like you to go.
Bye.
You can just leave the dishes.
Sure, my mom's
gonna clean them up.
Good morning, Jade.
Hi, Teresa.
What are you looking for?
The sterling.
Excuse me?
Granddad left me
sterling in the will.
I have gone through every drawer
in this dining room and kitchen
and I cannot find the sterling.
Have you asked Diego?
No.
Why would he know where it is?
Call him.
Ask.
I don't wanna
talk to him, Teresa.
Does he have it?
Just call him.
I don't have his number
Here.
Is this really necessary?
Hey, ma, what's up?
Do you have the sterling?
Where's my mom?
Why do you have her phone?
Is she okay?
She's fine.
She's standing right next to me.
Hi, Diego.
Jade is looking for sterling.
Why does she want to
know where sterling is?
You have it?
Why does it matter
to you if I have it?
My grandfather left
me sterling in the house
and I want what's legally mine.
Yeah, well, you're
not getting sterling.
Are you gonna make
me call the attorney?
Call the attorney?
I don't care.
You're not gonna get sterling.
Just bring
sterling here, Diego.
Mom, I'm not gonna
give up sterling.
Oh, yes, you are.
Bring sterling now.
- But...
- No buts, Diego.
We are waiting.
You might wanna wait
outside for Diego.
Why?
I think you're going to need
a little help with sterling.
Is there a lot of it?
You could say that.
What?
Forks and knives?
My grandmother's jewelry?
I don't know why he would
take that outta the house.
Sterling needs special care.
[Diego] Mama.
Oh, wow.
He wasn't kidding about
living across the street.
Go ahead.
I'll wait in here.
You are not taking my dog.
You don't even know him.
What are you talking about?
I want my sterling.
He's my Sterling.
The dog is named Sterling?
Yeah.
What did you think sterling was?
Silver.
Forks or knives or
platter or something.
You didn't know that
Sterling was Mr. Brennan's dog?
My father said that he left
me Sterling in his house.
No.
No, I didn't know
sterling was a dog.
You're not gonna take
him from me, are you?
I helped your granddad pick
him out three years ago.
I wouldn't do that.
I might be tough,
but I wouldn't come
between a man and his dog.
He left him for you.
I know.
We'll figure it out.
I'll call the
attorney on Monday.
Look, I'll pay you
for him, all right?
Whatever you want.
You can't put a price on love.
Thank you.
Come on, Sterling.
Come on, let's go.
Good boy.
Teresa.
[Teresa] In the kitchen.
You should have told me
that Sterling was dog's name.
You needed to find
out for yourself.
I wouldn't have felt
like such an idiot
if I knew Sterling was a
dog in the first place.
I think you and Diego
need to see each other's
personalities again.
You both love dogs.
We did.
What was granddad's dog's name?
Carrot.
Your grandfather
had several dogs,
but Diego took care of them.
Why?
There's plenty of room here.
Because Diego missed you.
What?
When you didn't come home
the summer after your mom died,
Diego kept coming here
to play with Carrot.
And when Carrot died,
your granddad got Goldie,
and Diego took care of Goldie.
And after Goldie, came Sterling.
It gave Diego purpose
and a chance to be connected
to your grandfather
and to you, Jade.
So you're telling me
a dog took my place?
No.
Not took your place,
just held it until
you came back.
What is this?
Does it look familiar?
It's our memory box.
Where did you find this?
Diego kept it in his
closet for 20 years.
I moved it to the basement
after we moved into his house
and found it last night
after I heard you arguing.
We weren't arguing.
I just didn't know who he was.
20 years is a long time, Jade.
It's a long, long time
to wait for someone
you're not sure is
going to come back.
You mean, me?
Do you know what
plant this is?
No, but they're in
every room with the house.
It's a jade plant.
If you take care of them,
they live for more
than 100 years.
My granddad kept
those to remember me?
No, Jade.
Diego did.
I think I'm gonna go
upstairs for a little while.
Shall I call you for lunch?
No.
You can go home, Teresa.
I think I'd like to be alone.
Okay.
I'll just finish my tea.
Thank you.
(gentle serene music)
[Mr. Brennan] Come on, kids.
Let's see some big smiles.
[Young Jade] How can we smile
when we won't ever
see each other again?
[Young Diego]
Don't see that, Jade.
You'll come back one day.
I'll wait for you.
[Young Jade]
But I'll miss you.
[Young Diego]
I'll miss you too,
but we'll have this picture
to remember us together.
[Young Jade] Dear, Diego,
I can't believe
we're teenagers now.
Remember when we said
we would run away
and get married when we were 16?
I can't believe that's
only three years from now.
I bet you have a girlfriend.
I hope you don't.
In case you do, I've
enclosed the key to our shed
so you can go there with her.
I wish I could have come
to grandad's to see you,
but my father said
that I have to stay at
school here in France.
Granddad bought a house here.
Maybe you can come and visit.
I miss you.
Love, Jade.
[Young Diego] When we're 16,
we'll come back
here and get married
and wanna wait together.
But we'll let your parents
and granddad know
where we are, right?
Well, duh.
Of course.
Just not your dad 'cause
he'll keep us apart.
Yeah.
And if I can't find you,
I'll come to the
shed at six o'clock
every single night
and wait for you.
You will?
Well, not all night.
I'll just walk by and
see if you're here.
Yeah, you wouldn't
wanna miss cartoons.
I'd miss cartoons to
see you again, Jade.
I would too.
Let's lock it up.
Ready?
[Young Jade] Ready.
[Young Diego] One.
[Young Jade] Two.
[Both] Three.
(gentle music)
(phone buzzing)
Jade Lewis.
Jade, it's Walter.
I'm sorry to have to
bother you on a Saturday.
That's no bother.
What can I do for you?
Tom told me you
didn't make it out
to the party last night.
I tried, but my name
wasn't on the list
and the hostess
wouldn't let me in.
Hmm.
I see.
Well, how do you feel about
having lunch with him tomorrow?
Sure, I'm free.
Great.
He and a rep from Lawrence
Architecture and Design,
they're gonna meet
you at two o'clock
at the Lobster Inn.
I'll be there.
So, how's the house?
It's beautiful.
Much bigger than I remember.
I'm gonna send Andrew
out there as well.
Andrew?
I'm sure I can handle
the meeting on my own.
Not for the meeting,
for the listing.
What listing?
Your house.
Jade, you know you can't
list your own house.
Oh, I'm not sure
I'm gonna sell it.
Oh.
Well, okay, no problem.
It's just, it was
my granddad's house
and I have so many
memories here.
Jade.
Really, no pressure.
I'll tell Andrew to stand down.
He knows about my house?
Well, I may have gotten
a little ahead of myself.
I'm sorry.
You know how I can get.
I'll tell him it's
not on the market.
Yet, anyways.
Thanks.
And I promise I'll
make a decision
by the time I get
back to Manhattan.
Great.
Do you know when
that'll be by chance?
Until Tuesday, at least.
You need to have the meeting
with the partners
on Monday first.
Keep in mind, Lynch is
an informal get together.
Lawrence Architecture
and Design,
they're the biggest
firm on Long Island.
They've been designing houses
with celebrities for years,
and now they wanna do
developments with Calloway.
I wanna be their
real estate company,
so make sure you impress 'em.
Understood.
And I'll give you
a call after lunch.
Great.
Thanks.
Bye.
(gentle music)
This will be the first time
that Jade sees her
abuelo's light display.
Yeah.
It is just sad that
he's not here to see it.
He is.
He can see us from above.
We just can't see him.
I miss him, you know.
I feel him around all the time.
He was so good to me.
Hey, you were
good to him, too.
Don't you forget that.
I know.
It's just that now I don't know
how I'm ever gonna
repay him, you know?
Repay him?
He love you like you were
his grandson, mijo, come on.
The only difference, mijo,
is that you are
actually here for him
when his granddaughter wasn't.
That's not fair.
You know that's not her fault.
Why not?
'Cause it was her
father's decision
to send her to boarding school.
You know that.
I do.
And don't forget that
I was staying in France
waiting at the house with you
and your mom to surprise her.
She never came 'cause she
had better things to do.
She had plans and
we were a surprise.
Okay.
What about after that?
What about after she
came back from France
and moved to the city?
New York City
is two hours away.
Two hours is nothing, Diego,
especially when
you love someone.
I loved him, you know.
Ms. Jade.
So nice to see you.
I loved him.
And we talked maybe, not
all the time, but a lot.
And he came to
visit me in France
and in New York and
wherever else I went.
I know he did, Ms. Jade.
I...
I didn't mean anything
about what I said.
I didn't know that
you were listening.
Well, that's how I know
you meant it, Emilio.
Is this what everybody thinks?
Ms. Jade, I'm sorry.
Well...
Well what?
Go after her.
(gentle music)
What are you doing?
We're decorating
for Christmas.
I'm not gonna be
here for Christmas.
It's your grandfather's wish
we decorate for
Christmas for you.
We've been doing it every
year since your mom passed.
(footsteps thumping)
Jade.
What did you do?
Nothing.
Why is she so upset then?
Ask your husband.
Should I go talk to her?
Yes.
No.
Diego will.
I will?
Go talk to her.
(knocking on door)
(Jade crying)
- Jade.
Where'd you get this?
No one thinks you didn't
love your grandfather, Jade.
I think we're all just upset
that you didn't come back.
My mom, my dad, Arthur, me.
Everyone.
We always thought you'd
come back and pick things up
where you left off for your mom.
I guess it hurt your dad
too much to let you go.
I know it hurt me a
lot to let you go.
But then again, I...
I don't think I ever really did.
And that hurt was
just impatience.
Just waiting for
you to come back.
But you're here now, right?
And my dad just said
that your grandfather's looking
down on all of us right now,
and I know he's smiling.
If you didn't love
your granddad, Jade,
you wouldn't be here.
You would've just sold
the house and moved on.
(gentle piano music)
I'll give you your space,
but I am here if you need me.
Is Jade coming down?
No.
She needs her space.
She needs a
shoulder to cry on.
I offered.
She doesn't want it.
Diego, you've been waiting
for this woman for 20 years.
Don't ruin your last chance.
Mom, she doesn't know me.
Then let her get to know you.
I'm a stranger, right?
She doesn't want to
get to know a stranger.
You are not a stranger.
You know her since she was born.
Yeah, and we lost
touch when we were 10.
He has a point, Teresa.
You said goodbye
when you were 10.
You wrote her letters
when she was in France.
You didn't lose touch
until you were older.
She has a point, Diego.
She's a stranger to me too.
I don't know anything about her.
That's not true.
You know everything about her.
Only what Mr. Brennan told me.
I didn't hear anything from her.
Maybe you should ask her then.
Fine.
You are right.
You are right.
You're right, of
course, you're right.
(gentle guitar music)
You need two
keys for that lock.
Oh, Diego, you scared
the daylights outta me.
What are you doing here, Jade?
Nothing.
I just wanted to see
what's in the shed.
You don't remember?
It was a long time ago.
I just wanted to see
if it was still here.
Oh, you mean if
I cleaned it up?
Did you?
I'll show you.
You wear it?
Well, at six o'clock, I was...
I was hoping you'd
finally be here.
You come here every
night at six o'clock?
Well, we promised, didn't we?
And when you left,
I would take Carrot on his
walks just to pass by the shed.
Then it was Goldie,
and, you know, it became
a routine, you know?
Oh, I see.
It wasn't every
night, all right?
I missed it when
I went to college.
But I do take Sterling on his
walks to pass by the shed.
So where is he now?
Well, I was hoping
you'd be here,
so my dad took him for a walk.
He feels really bad for
what he said, you know?
I know.
Are you ready?
One.
[Jade] Two.
[Both] Three.
(Jade chuckles)
[Jade] Oh, it's exactly
how I remember it.
[Diego] Yeah.
You never came in?
Nope.
Why not?
I sent you back the key.
I know.
And it broke my
13-year-old heart.
I never thought I'd
come in here again.
I don't remember this.
Oh, I forgot about that.
What is it?
Nothing.
Just give it here, Jade
To Jade.
Love, Diego.
Where'd this come from?
It was like 14
years ago, right?
I forgot all about it.
A present for me.
It was for you, but
you can give it back now.
No, it's mine.
It has my name on it.
Come on, Jade.
Tell me what it is
and I'll give it back.
It was a long time ago.
[Jade] Just tell
me what it is.
It's a promise ring.
A promise ring for me?
Why?
'Cause we said that we're
gonna run away together
when we were 16, remember?
You waited.
All night.
On your 16th birthday.
Till midnight.
And you never came.
I was in France.
I would've come.
Really?
Yeah.
You were the best part
of coming out here
during the summers.
I thought you
forgot all about me.
I can never forget
about you, Diego.
You know, I saved up my
money and I got you that ring.
I knew we weren't
gonna get married,
but I wanted to promise
that I would wait for you
for as long as it took.
But I never came.
Right.
So I pushed the box
through the window
and I still took my
walks at six, you know.
And then hope came back up
when I went to France with my
parents for your graduation,
but you never came to the house.
Why didn't you come
to my graduation?
'Cause we were told there
were only two tickets.
That was your father
and your grandfather,
and that we waited at the house.
My father never
came, you know?
Really?
I didn't know that.
He was supposed
to meet granddad,
but he had a meeting
and missed his flight.
I just felt so alone.
I didn't matter to him.
Yeah, well, you know,
you mattered to Mr.
Brennan and to me.
Yeah, I know that now.
You didn't know
that back then?
Maybe.
Or maybe I thought I just
made it up in my head.
When I was at boarding
school, I felt so alone.
I don't know.
I just felt like nobody
wanted me or loved me.
I did.
And I ruined it.
I pushed you away
because I didn't want you
to feel the way that I felt.
I didn't want you to feel sad,
and I didn't want you to wait.
I would've miss
cartoons for you, Jade.
Oh, well, I'm here now.
Is something wrong?
No.
It's just I am...
I waited a long time
to do this, you know.
Come on, (indistinct).
I'll walk you back.
You weren't locking it?
Oh, no, it's just a shed now.
I think we let all
the memories escape.
May I keep this?
Please?
Yeah, after all,
I bought it for you.
Thank you.
I doubt it even
fits you, you know?
I had no idea what I was
doing when I bought that.
Can I open it?
Oh, yeah, it's your ring.
Does it still have
a promise attached?
Part of me says yeah.
And what does
the other part say?
Well, the other part is,
it's my logical part,
which tells me that
it's been 20 years
since we last saw each other.
And when you leave, you
might not come back.
I don't wanna make a
promise I can't keep.
That's fair.
We gotta get to
know each other again.
Here we are.
Yes, we are.
Would you like to come inside?
Thank you,
but I don't know if
that's such a good idea.
Why not?
Because I don't want anything
to ruin how I feel right now.
I really wanna get
to know you, Jade.
You know me.
Not really.
We lived separate
lives for 20 years.
As much as I'd like
to fall in love
after just one kiss
over childhood memories,
I'm not naive,
but I do wanna see
where this goes.
So do I.
So I'll see you tomorrow then.
Same time, same place.
Maybe we can start with dinner
Same time then.
I'll pick you up at six.
Okay.
Goodnight, Diego.
Goodnight.
(gentle music)
(Jade chuckles)
Oh, I just got engaged.
I know.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
Okay.
Oh, oh.
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
[Arthur] Ms.
Jade, are you ready?
Yeah, just give me one second.
[Arthur] I'll be
in a car out front.
Okay.
Be right down.
Ow!
Ah.
It's okay.
People wear rings all the time
and maybe nobody will notice.
Ah.
Jade.
Jade Lewis.
Tom, so nice to meet you.
Likewise.
It's Trisha Lawrence,
owner of Lawrence
Architecture and Design.
Very nice to meet you.
I've heard nothing but great
things about you from Walter.
[Jade] Oh, thank you.
My newest partner is coming
and we'd like to talk to you
about the different amenities
you think would raise the value
of the properties we're
going to offer for sale.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I didn't prepare anything.
I thought this was
an informal meeting.
It is, but we'd still
like to hear your ideas.
You don't mind
if we wait for him
before we get started, do you?
Not at all.
Coffee?
Sure, thanks.
What a beautiful ring.
May I?
Oh, thanks.
Are you ready to order?
We'd just like some
coffee for now, please?
Sure thing.
Your fiance has
wonderful taste.
Oh, thanks, but I'm not...
Ah, here he is.
Jade Lewis, meet Diego Murillo.
- Murillo.
- Murillo.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
I didn't expect
to see you here.
Same.
Jade, Diego is our newest
partner with Lawrence A&D.
Yes, the new developments
will be his first
project as a partner.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Diego, Jade is a
real estate agent
with Walter Klein Realty,
and they're looking to expend
their offices out here.
- They are?
- We are?
Sorry, I jumped the gun.
I...
Please don't say anything
to Walter about that.
My lips are sealed.
Well, Jade just inherited
a property out here
so it makes sense that they
would send you over here.
No, actually Walter
didn't know about that
till after yesterday.
Well, the better then.
Do you two know each other?
Yes.
- Oh.
- Sort of.
It was a long time ago.
A very long time ago.
When we were children,
I used to spend my summers
out here in the Hamptons.
And last night
we got to reconnect
when she came back into town.
You better watch out.
Your fiance's gonna get jealous.
- Fiance?
- Milk or half and half?
Half and half, please.
You didn't mention
you have a fiance.
Maybe she doesn't wanna
talk about her personal life.
Yes.
We'll cross that bridge
while we get to it.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Well, you'll have to
relocate for the position,
but, of course, you'll
want to discuss that
with your fiance
before you accept.
We move out here permanently?
All right, we're getting
ahead of ourselves.
We're gonna discuss all this
in the meeting tomorrow morning.
This is just an
informal meet and greet.
Yeah, too bad you
couldn't bring your fiance.
Work and pleasure, Diego.
We will cross one
bridge at a time.
I hope this lunch will
be the first of many.
Well, you know
Lawrence A&D are in.
Diego and I are very
excited to get started.
And Jade.
Oh, as much as I would
love to join the team,
I would have to talk
to my boss first.
And your fiance.
I'm not sure who from the
team would take the position,
although I do know we would love
to work on the
developments out here.
Hey, that's good
enough for me.
Lovely meeting you.
Oh, you too.
If you'll excuse me.
See you guys at the
office on Monday.
I like her.
So do I.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Enjoy your Sunday.
(Jade groaning)
Ow.
Ow, ow, ow.
(Jade groaning)
(gentle bright music)
Hello.
Jade?
(tires screeching)
(gentle spirited music)
You might have to cut
the ring off, Ms. Jade.
I hope not.
Do you have any lotion
or petroleum jelly?
Maybe at the house.
We can swing by the
pharmacy if you like.
No, no, it's okay.
I'm sure Teresa will
know what to do.
She and Emilio are at church.
I'll just have to wait then.
Hello?
Anyone here?
Can I help you?
Yeah, I could ask
you the same thing.
Oh, do you work here?
Work here?
No.
Well, we haven't listed
the house for sale yet, so...
List it?
Jade's gonna sell this house?
I'm going to convince her to.
Don't, I'll buy it.
What?
Yeah, don't list it.
I'll buy it.
We don't even
have a price set-
I don't care.
I'll pay whatever
you want for it.
You probably need the money
for your wedding, huh?
That's a little
personal, don't you think?
Yeah?
How long have you been engaged?
What business is it of yours?
Just answer me.
Three years.
[Andrew] And we've dated
for four before that.
Unbelievable.
I don't see why
this concerns you.
What's going on?
Andrew, what are
you doing in my house?
Seven years, Jade?
What is with you?
Excuse me?
I thought you wanted to see
where things were
gonna go between us.
Now is not the time
for that conversation.
Oh, please don't
stop on my account.
[Diego] Why
didn't you tell me?
[Jade] I have nothing to tell.
Oh, yeah?
Well, what are you
gonna tell him?
I don't have
anything to tell him.
Andrew, leave.
Leaving.
No, Andrew, please stay.
Staying.
Diego, you're
making a mistake.
Yeah, like the mistake I made
when I kissed you last night.
Diego, please.
Tell him.
Tell him what?
Tell your fiance that
you kissed another man.
Fiance?
Jade, you're engaged?
To who?
To him.
Oh, that's nice.
Good choice.
That's the ring that I
got you when we were 16.
I tried it on this
morning and it got stuck.
Tricia thought I was engaged,
and I tried to correct her,
but then you showed up.
What would you have
liked me to have done?
Wait, so not engaged?
No.
Andrew, what are you
doing here anyway?
Walter said you were
thinking of selling the house.
Walter is wrong, and I
told him that this morning.
So I came out
here for nothing.
I don't know, Andrew.
There's a new
position opening up.
Ew.
I would never live
this far from the city.
It's nice for the summer.
Hmm, maybe a
destination wedding.
Can you please leave?
Oh.
Sure, I guess.
I am sorry for intruding.
I was talking to him.
Oh.
Well, I'm still gonna go.
Maybe hit the wine
trail or something.
Great.
Goodbye, Andrew.
So long.
I'd like you to go.
No.
Diego, get out of my house.
No.
Leave.
No.
Fine.
If you won't, I will.
You could've said something.
No one would let
me get a word in.
Well, you could've
interrupted.
How am I supposed
to explain this?
It isn't funny.
I didn't say it was.
[Jade] Then why
are you smiling?
Because I never thought I'd
see you wearing this ring.
Yeah, well, you wouldn't
have if it didn't get stuck.
Let me help you get it out.
No, I'll just cut it off.
No, you really wanna do that?
No.
Of course not.
But it's stuck and it's
cutting off my circulation.
All right, well,
stop playing with it
and just wait in the
living room, okay?
I'll be right there.
Ah.
Almost there.
Almost there.
Ow, okay.
Just cut it.
Ow, ow, ow, ow.
Voila.
You don't want it back?
Not really.
Why not?
I kind of like the way
it looked in your finger.
Yeah, maybe I
can get it resized.
Thank you.
For what?
The ring and for getting
it off without cutting it.
You're welcome.
(phone buzzing)
Oh, no, I forgot to
call Walter after lunch.
Is that your boss?
Yeah.
All right, take the call,
and when you're done,
meet me outside.
Why is that?
You trust me?
I do.
Finish the call and
meet me outside, okay?
Walter, I'm so sorry
I completely forgot to
call you after lunch.
It's fine.
I haven't heard from you,
so I thought I'd check in.
I think lunch went well.
You can say that again.
They're ready to enter
the contract tomorrow.
Really?
Congratulations.
Well, I hear congratulations
are an order for you.
Engaged?
Well, I was hoping you'd accept
the position in the
Hamptons expansion.
Do you need to speak
to your fiance?
No, there's no fiance.
They just assumed because of
a ring that I was wearing.
I tried to correct them, but
they moved on to conversation.
Okay, good.
Well, I was hoping we'd have
a better enough relationship
where you'd tell me
something like that.
So you don't have to
talk to your fiance?
No.
Boyfriend?
No.
Is there anyone
you need to talk to
to accept the position?
No.
Do you need to think about it?
No, not really.
Okay.
I'll go ahead and speak
to Andrew about it then.
Andrew?
What for?
To offer him the position.
But you just offered it to me.
Jade, am I missing
something here?
I accept.
I would love to open
your expansion out here.
I just need a few days to
move out of my apartment.
Hey, maybe Andrew
can list it for me.
Jade, that is wonderful news.
I'll get the paperwork
drawn up tomorrow.
Perfect.
Thank you, Walter.
You bet, thank you.
Goodnight.
Night.
Stay right here.
I plan on it.
What's that?
When you left
when you were 10,
your grandfather always said
that you would come back
and spend Christmas with us.
And I never did.
But still he had us
decorate this entire house
just for you.
He wanted to turn it
into a winter wonderland,
so he made us do the
same design every year.
Really?
Yeah.
That's what I was doing when
you found me on your roof.
When I thought you were
employed at the house?
Yeah.
My dad, your grandfather and I
would work on this every year.
Your grandfather really
wanted you to see this
and he made me promise
that I would keep it
going until you did.
Wow.
I hope he knows
you're showing me.
I'm sure he does.
You ready?
One.
Two.
[Both] Three.
(whimsical music)
Do you like it Jade?
I told you she would, Diego.
(gentle whimsical music)
Thank you.
He would've done
anything for you.
And so would I.
Anything?
Yeah.
How about keeping a promise
you made 14 years ago?
That's a good place to start.
(gentle bright music)
(gentle guitar music)
I want to believe in
the man in the moon
That the cute little dish
ran away with the spoon
Will come to her senses
and marry him soon
I really want to believe
I want to believe for
each broom there's a witch
That nine will be saved
when I made the first ditch
And counting my pennies
will make me grow rich
I really want to believe
I want to believe
there will be peace
Come next Christmas Eve
To believe magic is real
And not an illusion
of somebody's sleep
I want to believe for
my feet there's a cloud
That Jack was amazed at
that beanstalk he vowed
And no ugly duckling
grew up to be proud
I really want to believe
I want to believe
There will be peace
Come next Christmas Eve
To believe magic is real
And not an illusion
of somebody's sleep
(gentle music)
I want to believe
There will be peace
Come next Christmas Eve
To believe magic is real
And not an illusion
of somebody's sleep
I really really
really need to believe
