(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 g*n.

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
