EDNA: I don't understand.

How can the outpost be up for auction?

Sully?

The bank can't just
foreclose without notice.

Do you remember getting
a registered letter?

Registered letter.

Where is it? What did I do with it?

SULLY: This can't be happening.

Hey, where's that folder
that was on my desk?

Uh, what folder?

How many times do I got to tell you
not to mess with my things, Edna?

I didn't see a folder,

and I would have noticed a
registered letter from the bank.

Where did I put it?

[EXHALING SHARPLY]

"Notice of foreclosure."

MAGGIE: Almost ready?

Last time I wore a suit
was my father's funeral.

He's probably rolling over
in his grave right now.

Here, let me... Let me help with that.

Oh, this is ridiculous.

We need to make a good
impression at the bank.

This place has been in
our family for generations.

How could I forget
something this important?

Don't blame yourself.

Maybe if I hadn't
started drinking again...

b*ating yourself up isn't going to help.

I always thought I'd pass
this place on to you one day.

I can't lose the Crossing, Maggie.

Don't worry. We'll sort this out.

[BREATHING SHAKILY]

[EXHALING SHARPLY]

EDNA: How could Sully keep this from us?

He was having trouble
with his memory. Remember?

Not when he got that letter, Frank.

I should have suspected things weren't

going well when he didn't pay Rob.

It wasn't like him.

[SIGHING]

Did you know?

- Of course not.
- You're his best friend, Frank.

He didn't say anything?

I knew things were slow, same as you.

Why didn't he tell us?

We could have helped.

Maybe he didn't want to worry us.

Oh, that's no excuse. We're like family.

And family doesn't keep secrets
from each other, no matter what.

♪

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- Hey.
- Hey. Um...

This, uh... This really
isn't a good time, Cal.

Oh. I was just hoping we could talk.

I could tell what I said the
other night at dinner upset you.

Um, I'm sorry. I can't
do this right now.

Sully and I have to sort out
this foreclosure business.

What foreclosure?

I thought you would have heard.

The bank is putting the
Crossing up for auction.

Why?

Looks like Sully missed
one too many payments.

[SIGHING]

We're headed to the bank right now.

Is there anything I can help with?

No. I'm sure once I explain to
them Sully was in the hospital,

that they'll understand.

- I really got to get going.
- No, of course.

Go, go. Let me know if
there's anything I can do.

Thank you.

[SIGHING]

So, did, uh, Maggie tell
you what the plan is?

Uh, only that she's
hoping they'll be able

to sort things out at the bank.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

Who's that?

Just a robo-call.

Well, I should probably get going.

So, I'll see you later?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Hey, Harvey. It's Sydney Shandon.

I just wanted to see
if you'd had a chance

to think about taking me on again.

Hey...

Hey.

Thank you for calling.

Oh. Oh.

[CHUCKLING]

Where's Sully?

He's at the bank with Maggie.

I can't believe Maggie
didn't call me again.

We only just saw it in
the paper last night.

Yeah.

What are we going to do now, Edna?

[SIGHING]

Nimoo nik'shkayteo, my girl.

I wish I knew.

So, you can understand that
with my father's condition

and his being in the hospital,
it would have made it...

I appreciate all that, Miss Sullivan,

but it doesn't really
change our position.

Your father owes this
bank a lot of money,

and we need him to
make good on that debt.

I told you this would
be a waste of time.

Just a bunch of numbers
on a spreadsheet to them.

I'm done here.

- Ridiculous.
- Mr. Sullivan?

Look. I understand what
you're saying, Mr. Blake. I do.

But the Crossing isn't just a business;

it is the heart of this community,

and losing it is going to
impact a lot more people

than just my father.

I know he isn't the best
businessman in the world...

but Sully has made a difference

in the lives of...

everyone around here,

and those people are loyal
customers of this bank, too.

That should mean something
to you, shouldn't it?

I'm just asking for a little
more time to make this right.

I'm afraid it's out of
my hands, Miss Sullivan.

You have two weeks to pay off the debt,

or the Crossing goes
to the highest bidder.

Thank you for your time.

Sully can't lose the Crossing.

It means everything to him
and the people around here.

I know.

I may not be a Sullivan,

but Sully and the people
here, they're my family, too.

I know exactly how you feel.

Isn't there anything we can do?

I just don't know that
much about foreclosure law.

So, let's find someone who does.

[TIRES GRINDING ON GRAVEL]

I know you're upset, Sully,

but now's not the time to give up.

[SIGHING]

I just need a minute.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

Hey.

Hey. I just wanted to check
in and see how you're doing.

MAGGIE: Honestly, not good.

Remember how I told you

that Sully was struggling
with his memory?

- Yeah.
- Well, it turns out

that he forgot to respond to
a demand letter from the bank,

and now, if I can't come up
with a way to pay back his loan,

then the Crossing is
going up for auction.

ANDREW: I'm so sorry.

I know how much that place means to you.

I don't know what else to do.

You should contact an
attorney. Get some advice.

At least then, you'll
know what your options are.

Mags, I'm worried about you.

No, I'm fine. I'm fine.

I've just... I've got
to figure this out.

ANDREW: Remember, I'm
here if you need me.

Thanks for calling, Andrew.

ANDREW: Of course.

LOLA: Thank you very much, Mr. Kingston.

We'll be right in.

He said he can squeeze us
in if we leave right now.

Does he have any experience
with foreclosure law?

He said he's handled
a lot of bankruptcies.

Great.

Let's go.

Maggie.

How did it go at the bank?

They won't postpone the auction,

so we're going to have to
find another way to stop it.

Actually, Cal and I are on our
way to meet with an attorney

who said he might be able to help.

- You want to come with us?
- [PHONE VIBRATING]

Uh...

Sorry. I... I can't. I
forgot I have to meet Sydney.

Okay. Uh, we'll give you an
update when we get some news.

All right. Um, thanks, Cal.

♪

Maggie told me you'd be here.

I take it the meeting at
the bank didn't go that well?

[CHUCKLING MIRTHLESSLY]

That's an understatement.

It was humiliating.

I had to sit there while some banker

airs my dirty laundry
in front of my daughter.

I'm sure she understands.

I dedicated my life to
protecting this land.

If it goes up for auction,
who knows what will happen?

I did this, Frank.

I thought I was strong
enough to handle it all.

Maggie coming back here
opened up a lot for you.

I finally got her back.

If I lose the Crossing, I'll
probably never see her again.

We're here for you.

You don't have to do this alone.

Come on.

There's still time to
make a meeting today.

Okay.

- Oh, just...

Hello.

Hey, Auntie Syd.

Think maybe you could
give that phone a rest

and do some reading?

I am reading.

I mean reading a book with actual pages.

School starts this week and
you're going to need to get used to

spending less time on electronics.

Go get a book from the back.

Fine.

No Clover?

She stepped out with her boyfriend.

She doesn't really seem to
be helping you out that much.

Maybe you should consider
finding someone a little more reliable.

I don't think this is the right time

to be considering hiring
anybody more expensive.

If the Crossing closes,

business is definitely
going to take a hit.

I can't risk losing this place.

It means too much to me.

I get it.

Don't suppose you'd be
interested in helping me

empty the grease traps this weekend?

Actually, I need to tell you something.

Okay. What?

I'm leaving for New York this weekend.

New York?

What for?

I talked to my old agent

and he's agreed to
give me another chance.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

I'm a lot stronger than
I was back then, Rob.

Besides, it was not the modelling
I was having problems with.

As long as you're sure you're up for it.

I am.

I'm just not sure how
I'm going to tell Finn.

FRANK: Smells good in here.

Huh? Bake sale I didn't know about?

[PAN SLAMMING]

Frank, I need some flour
from the back, please.

Yep. On it.

[LID SLAMMING]

Uh, yeah. I... I owe you an apology.

I'm not mad you forgot, Sully. I'm hurt.

I don't understand why you
didn't feel you could tell us

that you were struggling.

I didn't want you and Frank to worry.

We could have shared the burden.

It's our home, too, Sully.

I know, and I'm sorry.

Where's that flour, Frank?

Yeah.

What do you mean?

I mean about Cal.

I already told you
what happened at dinner.

He made it perfectly clear that
he doesn't want to be a father.

But you didn't tell him about the baby?

Why would I after that?

So, that's it?

You're just going to give up on him?

I mean, I never should have let myself

get carried away in the first place.

I don't really know him.

You know, anyways, it
never would have worked out.

Cal wants to live here

and eventually, I'll be
moving back to Boston,

once it all settles down.

What?

I think you're making a mistake.

You saw how Andrew
acted at that poker game.

Take it from me. Guys
like that don't change.

That's not fair, Sydney. I
was with Andrew for two years.

He's been really working on himself.

I mean, he loves me.

He... He wants a family.

It makes sense, and he
deserves a second chance.

Okay. If that's how you feel.

Listen. My agent called,

and he wants me to fly
to New York this weekend.

But I can still cancel
if you want me to stay.

No, no. Sydney, this is what
you want to do. You should go.

You sure?

I'll be fine.

Okay. Well, I better get
home and book my ticket.

Good luck.

Thanks for squeezing us in.

Lola Gunderson?

Roy Gunderson's granddaughter?

Yes.

My.

I was so sad to hear
that he'd passed away.

- Please, sit down.
- Thank you.

Well, what can I do for you?

We're trying to help Sully
Sullivan stop the bank

from auctioning off the Crossing.

Now, have they scheduled an auction yet?

Yes.

Ah, well, that's going
to make it more tricky.

I was wondering if we
could file for an appeal.

On an emergency basis, yes,

as long as you can show the judge

that you have a good reason for it.

And if we had that reason,
how long would that take?

Oh, 24 to 48 hours.

And then, the judge could
direct to cancel the auction?

That's right.

What does that mean?

It means we need to convince the judge

that Sully being in the hospital

prevented him from making
his payments on time.

Now, you sound like a lawyer.

I was, in New York, but
I don't practise anymore.

Yeah? Why is that?

I didn't feel like, uh,

I was really making
much of a difference.

Well, small-town law, you
don't make the big bucks,

but it can be very rewarding.

Well, we should go, Cal,
to tell Sully the good news.

Yeah. Just remember,

if you're going to file the
appeal, you have to be able

to show that you have sufficient
funds to pay off the debt.

Okay. Thank you.

- I appreciate your help.
- Oh, it's been a pleasure.

Great to meet you.

- You, too.

Uh, well, we need to file

Sully couldn't make his payments

because he was in the hospital.

Is that it?

We just have to prove to the judge

that we have the money
to pay off his debt.
