The Heir Of My Konos
Transcript
00:00I'm looking for hidden gems.
00:02Careful.
00:03I'm from here.
00:04Could show you a few spots.
00:05Then you must owe me lunch.
00:07Get in, Alexandros.
00:09You will lose everything over this.
00:11Your name, your position.
00:13See, we're on the country pretty much.
00:15That's who I just had breakfast with?
00:16I was supposed to take over.
00:17Elena was part of the plan.
00:19Then what am I?
00:20You're the first thing I've ever chosen for myself.
00:22You walk away from me now.
00:23You are not walking away clean.
00:25Wait.
00:26She's pregnant?
00:27Something about this whole Elena thing doesn't add up.
00:29Your father's concerned.
00:31There's been talk about that girl.
00:33You will marry Elena.
00:34She fits the life you were born about.
00:37Well, if she won't leave on her own,
00:40it will help her heart.
00:42Is that what they think I am?
00:43A passing storm?
00:44She's just trying to scare you.
00:46The only reason any of this is happening is because of Elena.
00:48Then stop letting her win.
00:50Whatever Elena started, all ended.
00:52What exactly am I being paid for?
00:54To forget us all and to forget Greece.
00:57You can't buy me off.
00:58Still ignoring my text, huh?
00:59Andrew?
01:00Are you stalking me?
01:01People who care might give their business to know.
01:03I can't run the company anymore, Alex.
01:06It's your turn to lead.
01:07I never wanted the crown.
01:09I'll respect what you built.
01:10I'll protect it.
01:11But only on my terms.
01:12I love Kate.
01:13She's part of my future.
01:14You really think we can win against them?
01:16Only if we stop playing nice.
01:18Either we keep up or get replaced.
01:20I'm just scared of what this might mean for us.
01:23No matter what happens now, you're not doing this alone.
01:28Hey, careful.
01:29Oh my God.
01:30You just saved me a thousand euros.
01:31Then you must owe me lunch.
01:33To all locals who flirt after new collisions?
01:34You were in my way.
01:35Not my fault.
01:36Looking for something in particular?
01:37I just got here.
01:38I'm a photographer.
01:39I'm looking for hidden gems.
01:40I'm looking for hidden gems to shoot.
01:41And maybe a place to breathe.
01:42I love the sunlight here.
01:43I'm from here.
01:44I could show you a few spots.
01:45I'm from here.
01:46Hey, careful.
01:47Oh my God.
01:48You just saved me a thousand euros.
01:50Then you must owe me lunch.
01:51To all locals who flirt after new collisions?
01:53You are in my way.
01:55Not my fault.
01:56Looking for something in particular?
01:58I just got here.
02:00I'm a photographer.
02:01I'm looking for hidden gems to shoot.
02:04And maybe a place to breathe.
02:05I love the sunlight here.
02:07I'm from here.
02:08I could show you a few spots.
02:10No offense, but that's how tourists disappear.
02:13Oldest bakery on the islands around the corner.
02:15You're more than welcome to follow.
02:17Or not.
02:27You know my friend is Rebecca?
02:29Is everyone liking it?
02:31Who knows?
02:33Playing with the turrets?
02:35Yeah, I'll be keeping an eye on the follow.
02:38Okay, that was unreal.
02:44Told you, no tourist ever finds this place online.
02:49You're a real local.
02:51Suspicious?
02:52Curious.
02:54You coming or just making comments?
02:56I'd just like to know who I'm following.
02:58A new friend.
02:59Are you always this cryptic or just with tourists?
03:02Depends who's asking.
03:08All right.
03:11I'm impressed.
03:13You capture things most people miss.
03:17Flattery won't get you far.
03:20Or maybe it will.
03:22Who knows what the future holds.
03:25What was that?
03:26Something that felt right.
03:27Who are you?
03:28Does it matter?
03:30What was that?
03:31What was that?
03:32Probably just a tourist.
03:33Happens all the time.
03:34I get why people fall in love with this place.
03:37It's not just pretty.
03:38It feels rushed.
03:39No pressures.
03:40Do you like the sea?
03:41Salty?
03:42No.
03:43Calm.
03:44On the surface.
03:45I can see there's something white.
03:46I can see there's something white.
03:47I can see there's something white.
03:48Does it matter?
03:49Does it matter?
03:50What was that?
03:51You will marry Eleanor.
03:52She fits the life you were born for her.
03:53I didn't choose this.
03:54You forced it on me.
03:55You don't have to be ready.
04:24Where did your mind go just now?
04:26I'm not as free as I look.
04:27Some people have expectations for me.
04:30Family?
04:36Yes?
04:36People are watching at Mykonosal Express.
04:39End this quietly, please, and return to Athens.
04:42I need you here immediately.
04:52Your secret spot?
04:54Only for people I like.
05:02You joining?
05:04Wait, seriously?
05:08You're actually insane.
05:15You joining or just watching?
05:20Enjoying the view.
05:20Hello.
05:30Didn't want you thinking I stared intentionally.
05:32Maybe I hoped you were.
05:37So that kiss yesterday, just a thanks for the moment?
05:40Felt perfect.
05:42Like now.
05:54How is this shirt?
05:56European royalty?
05:56Are all Americans this nosy?
05:58Are all Americans this nosy?
06:01That felt like a long.
06:03We should head back.
06:05It'll get cold soon.
06:06Look who finally remembered me.
06:12Sorry I've been MIA.
06:14It's great here.
06:16And I haven't been scammed yet.
06:16And I haven't been scammed yet.
06:17I'm proud of you.
06:18Also, I met someone.
06:21Of course you did.
06:23We literally bumped into each other.
06:25He caught my camera when I dropped it and then offered to show me around.
06:29And for once, I said yes.
06:32Oh, no.
06:33I know.
06:34I know.
06:35Who is he?
06:36Maybe someone knows him.
06:37I actually don't even know his last name.
06:41Or much of anything, really.
06:46Hi, Alex.
06:48You've been hard to find.
06:49Not now, Marco.
06:50Your father's concerned.
06:52There's been talk about that girl.
06:54Let them talk.
06:55You know how this looks.
06:56Discretion used to matter to you.
06:59Say what you came to say.
07:00This sabbatical?
07:01Is it about Elena?
07:03What do you think?
07:04I think it is.
07:08From her.
07:18That might have been the best night I've had in a while.
07:23Same here.
07:24Thank you for staying.
07:28Are you hungry?
07:29Starving.
07:32You know that's my favorite T-shirt, right?
07:34But now, it's mine.
07:40Do you always keep a spare toothbrush in your guest drawer?
07:42Maybe I like to be prepared.
07:44For tourists.
07:45For possibilities.
07:47You ever say something real or just things that sound good?
07:52Lunch?
07:53Let's.
07:54You will love this one.
07:57You will love this one.
08:05Bordeaux, 2015.
08:06Correct.
08:07May I?
08:08Okay.
08:13Okay, shirt crest.
08:14And now this?
08:15Who are you?
08:16James Bond?
08:17The Greek can't have taste.
08:20Alex?
08:22Elena.
08:23What are you doing here?
08:24Your parents insist that I find you.
08:26They're worried.
08:27There's too much at stake to ignore this.
08:34What do you want to leave me here?
08:37Relax.
08:38I'm not here to start a scene.
08:39Then came what you came to say and go.
08:40Alex.
08:41We were always more than just feelings.
08:43There's still a future.
08:45If you want it.
08:47I don't.
08:48You act like you've escaped, but you're just on pause.
08:52I don't know about you, but I want a life I chose.
08:54Confusing the past doesn't erase it.
08:56It just means someone else decides for you.
09:05You need to come back to Athens.
09:07The board is moving without you.
09:09That endless thing with a tourist.
09:11People have seen you.
09:13It's getting embarrassing.
09:14He was speaking to his ex.
09:29When his father called.
09:31I answered his phone.
09:33Kate, I love you, but you always do this.
09:36You rush in hot first.
09:38Remember Andrew?
09:39This isn't Andrew.
09:40Maybe, but you need to stop guessing.
09:43Ask him.
09:44Really ask him.
09:55Anything you want to tell me?
09:57Or should I just wait for the next call?
09:59Look, Kate.
10:00My father oversteps.
10:01He always has.
10:02This isn't about him.
10:03It's about her.
10:04Elena.
10:05We were together since we were kids.
10:08The family's approved, but I moved on.
10:11She just never did.
10:13You weren't engaged?
10:17I never loved her, Kate.
10:18I should have told you.
10:20Just don't ask me anything else today, okay?
10:40Girls like you are summer storms.
10:42But storms pass.
10:43You're nothing special.
10:55Kate.
10:56Is that what they think I am?
10:57A passing storm?
10:58She's just trying to scare you.
11:00She's not wrong.
11:01This, us, it's not built to last.
11:02Then let's change that.
11:03I don't want to be a rebellion, Alec.
11:04You're not.
11:05You're the first thing I've ever chosen for myself.
11:06Then tell her.
11:07Tell her it's over.
11:08It's over.
11:09Has been for a long time.
11:10Good.
11:11She's not going away, is she?
11:12I think he's serious about her.
11:13Well, if she won't leave on her own, we'll help her find the door.
11:18You're not.
11:19You're not.
11:20You're the first thing I've ever chosen for myself.
11:22Then tell her.
11:23Tell her it's over.
11:24It's over.
11:25Has been for a long time.
11:26Good.
11:27She's not going away, is she?
11:28I think he's serious about her.
11:29Well, if she won't leave on her own, we'll help her find the door.
11:41You texted her.
11:57I just suggested she leave early.
11:59For her own good.
12:00You don't get to decide that.
12:02I warned her.
12:03Girls like her never last.
12:05You should thank me for speeding it up.
12:07What do you want, Elena?
12:08I want what I've always had.
12:11Your love.
12:20Get in, Alexandros.
12:22You will lose everything over this.
12:24Your name.
12:25Your position.
12:27And don't be fooled.
12:28Elena will not go easily.
12:30You've controlled me ever since I could walk.
12:32Not anymore.
12:33You always say that.
12:35But look where you are.
12:42Alex?
12:48You've been quiet since breakfast.
12:50Did my ex offend you?
12:51No.
12:52I just needed a walk.
12:53Is this your version of opening up?
12:55I want to.
12:56But there are some parts of me that are still tied to a life I never chose.
13:02Oh, let me help.
13:03Do you want to stay with me tonight?
13:05If you wanted to.
13:07I'm not good at this.
13:10The normal, everyday part.
13:12Try me.
13:13Some nights I wish I could burn it all down.
13:16The name, the expectations.
13:18What stops you?
13:19People like my mother.
13:21People who smile while pulling the strings.
13:24I'm cutting loose.
13:33You better move fast, Alex.
13:35She's already pulling strings.
13:37Everything okay?
13:38You tell me.
13:39Where'd you find this?
13:40It was by the door.
13:41No name.
13:42Just waiting.
13:43She's always known how to send a message.
13:44You said you wanted to burn it all down.
13:46Then do it.
13:47Or mean it.
13:48Look, Kate.
13:49I don't care about their money.
13:50Or their legacy.
13:51None of that really matters to me.
13:52But you really do.
13:53I'm falling for you, Kate.
13:54Fast.
13:55And maybe even recklessly.
13:56But it's all very real.
13:57Then stop holding back.
14:23Hmm.
14:24She's pretty.
14:25Interesting.
14:26Maybe someone from her past could be useful.
14:38Is it fair of the night?
14:39Kind of.
14:40A coffee always helps.
14:42I don't know.
14:43I don't know.
14:44I don't know.
14:45I don't know.
14:46I don't know.
14:47I don't know.
14:48I don't know.
14:49I don't know.
14:50I don't know.
14:51I don't know.
14:52I don't know.
14:53I don't know.
14:54So.
14:55This version of you.
14:56Coffee.
14:57Half naked.
14:58Charming.
14:59Is that sticking around?
15:00I don't know.
15:01What if it is?
15:02I meant what I said last night.
15:03I told Lena to meet her at the cafe by the marina.
15:06She'll think you kidnapped me.
15:07Wouldn't it be the worst rumor?
15:13Helena Vasilio, Georgiopoulos' family's former fiancee,
15:16is rumored to be determined to secure a place in their financial future
15:20despite their recent broken engagement.
15:31This wasn't some ex.
15:32This was the plan.
15:35Let's see what else you forgot to mention.
15:37I found this while I was waiting for you.
15:38I was just flipping through and bam.
15:50That's Elena and that's Alex's mother.
15:54Sofia Georgiopoulos.
15:55You know her?
15:56Everyone does.
15:57The Georgiopoulos family is Greece's biggest shipping dynasty.
16:01They run the country pretty much.
16:02That's who I just had breakfast with?
16:04You've been sleeping next to the air.
16:06And no one warned me?
16:07You didn't ask for his name, Kate.
16:09Now you know why he didn't offer it.
16:11This whole time.
16:12He never gave me the full story.
16:18So that's the girl.
16:20Hmm.
16:21Let's see what she's made of.
16:23That's where I learned how to play guitar.
16:24Let me guess.
16:25Your family hated after 10 minutes?
16:26Five.
16:27I was relentless.
16:28And now?
16:29Now I only play for carefully selected audiences.
16:30My compliment doesn't buy me a private concert.
16:33Something wrong?
16:34No.
16:35No.
16:36No.
16:37No.
16:38No.
16:39No.
16:40No.
16:41No.
16:42No.
16:43No.
16:44No.
16:45No.
16:46No.
16:47No.
16:48No.
16:49No.
16:50No.
16:51No.
16:52No.
16:53No.
16:54No.
16:55No.
16:56Just...
16:57Just have it.
16:58It's unreal.
16:59Like the whole world slows down just enough to breathe.
17:03That's why people never leave.
17:05Is that why you're still here?
17:06Something like that.
17:14You know him?
17:15No.
17:16Let's go the other way.
17:17Why?
17:18Can you just let it go?
17:19You've been dodging this since the first day.
17:21What is it I'm not supposed to see?
17:23What aren't you telling me?
17:28That's them, isn't it?
17:29You've been hiding something since the day we met.
17:44I'm done guessing.
17:45Who were they?
17:46My parents.
17:47And Elena?
17:48She was sent by them.
17:50My father runs Georgiopolis Shipping.
17:52I was supposed to take over.
17:53Elena was part of the plan.
17:55So she's not just your ex.
17:57She's your legacy.
17:58She's my past.
17:59And what am I?
18:00Everything with you is real.
18:01Except your name.
18:02Your past.
18:03And that your family could crush me without even blinking.
18:06I was just trying to protect you.
18:07Too late.
18:09You should have told me from the beginning.
18:12Can I come in?
18:24I didn't want you to find out like that.
18:26You had a hundred chances to tell me.
18:28But you didn't.
18:29I didn't lie to protect myself.
18:30I lied to protect this.
18:31And now?
18:32Now I want to try for real.
18:34Have lunch with me.
18:35With her.
18:36Your mother?
18:37Yes.
18:38We can call it character building.
18:48The weather's been kind this week.
18:50Mykonos is really stunning.
18:52So Kate, what brought you here?
18:54I'm a photographer.
18:55I freelance.
18:56I see.
18:58Alex has always liked foreign things.
19:01Hey.
19:02I meant art and languages.
19:05He's an excellent translator.
19:07And surprisingly, a great cook.
19:09Cooking is a skill for people with time.
19:12You're not going to be warm.
19:13At least be respectful.
19:14Respect is earned.
19:16And timing is everything.
19:19You will learn that eventually.
19:23And now?
19:24Excuse me.
19:25Excuse me.
19:35I know that look.
19:36Were you expecting me to be happy?
19:38I'm sorry.
19:39She's a particular taste.
19:40She looked at me like I was a waiter.
19:42I know.
19:43I know.
19:44I'm sorry.
19:45But at least we had a great dessert after all that.
19:50Stay again tonight?
19:51If you stop apologizing.
19:53Probably just the neighbor again.
20:02Good evening.
20:03Apologies for the drop in, but business doesn't wait.
20:06Elena.
20:07Kate.
20:08Still here.
20:09I see.
20:10Why are you here?
20:11Just finalizing a few things.
20:14Some of us still take matters seriously.
20:18Good luck.
20:19You'll need it.
20:26Whoa.
20:27These are shared transfer papers.
20:30She owns a piece of your family's company?
20:33She just declared war.
20:38This is real.
20:39She tied herself back in.
20:40She's a power junkie, losing me through her off balance.
20:43She's not done.
20:44No.
20:45But neither are we.
20:46You're the reason I want out.
20:48She doesn't get to write the ending.
20:52Didn't mean to wake you.
20:55What time is it?
20:56Early.
20:57I have to take care of something.
20:59Just a few days.
21:01You're really leaving?
21:02I have to.
21:04But I'll be back.
21:06Okay.
21:07Just come back home, please.
21:13Don't forget how this feels, okay?
21:24Looks like I'm not waiting after all.
21:26You came.
21:27I knew you would.
21:28Don't flatter yourself.
21:29I came for answers.
21:30You came.
21:31That's what matters.
21:32Skip the performance.
21:33What do you want?
21:34What I've always wanted.
21:35For you to grow up and take what's yours.
21:37Be part of the family.
21:38What family?
21:39The kind that sends assistance instead of invitations?
21:41You weren't exactly answering our calls.
21:42Now, if you want to act like a man, here's your crown.
21:44What is it?
21:46An official succession plan.
21:48We all signed it this morning.
21:50Well, you forged my name to trap me,
21:52and you just gave me a way out.
21:53Oh, no.
21:54No.
21:55No.
21:56No.
21:57No.
21:58No.
21:59No.
22:00No.
22:01No.
22:02No.
22:03No.
22:04No.
22:05No.
22:06No.
22:07No.
22:08No.
22:09No.
22:10No.
22:11No.
22:12No.
22:13We've done this before, Alexandros.
22:17Don't act like it's something sacred.
22:18And Elena, is she still part of the plan?
22:22Her name brings confidence.
22:25Investors, see stability.
22:27I'm not building a life with someone I've already left in the past.
22:31Because this tie...
22:33if you cut it, will cost the whole family.
22:37Then you've built the wrong family.
22:40family he's inside I thought you'd want to hear it all from him
23:01he said you asked for me of course he did you said you came to walk away but
23:07this place will always own you now it's my turn let's see what it would take for you to walk away
23:16this is for you
23:27what exactly am I being paid for to forget us all and to forget Greece you can't buy me off like you
23:34do with Elena your son is in your property neither am I he was supposed to leave our company not run
23:39off with a tourist what's going on your mother just tried to send me back to America if she truly cared
23:49she would leave on her own enough this ends here if she stays or if she goes that's her choice not yours
23:57so that went well I'm sorry she'll stop
24:07she won't but I'm not leaving
24:15enjoy your fairy tale Kate
24:31what now
24:40this was just dropped off at the estate just your father and the board
24:49she's twisting everything making it seem like I'm not my right mind it's already been forwarded to
25:02legal she's playing hardball now and what you're just the messenger you asked for honesty I'm just
25:07delivering it she lies slanders and yet she still ends up protected she's not protected she's strategic
25:14how unhinged the timing makes this impossible she's bluffing and desperate
25:26I passed mark on the hallway what happened a letter she sent to my father and the board and she slipped
25:36this in like it proves anything wait she's pregnant that's what she wants people to think but I know it's
25:43not mine the math doesn't add up and she sends that instead of saying a word that's the point
25:48she doesn't want to talk she wanted leverage then what now just give me time I'll prove it and then I'm
25:54done
25:54it's quiet out here like the rest of the world just doesn't exist that's why I brought you here
26:07when this is over I'm done for good no more strings no more secrets and when this ends if you still want
26:17me I'm yours
26:18she really did it you always said you wanted a family well here we are and what exactly were you
26:43gonna tell me I just did you had two months why now timing is everything you know it every part of
26:51this is calculated you're using a child as a pawn I'm not you think my timing changes what it is yes
26:57it does you walk away from me now you are not walking away clean I don't know who you are anymore I'm the
27:04mother of your child then you better be for their sake
27:08this is never about the baby it's always about the name
27:25I didn't follow you to fix things I just need you to know I'm not choosing her
27:37I know you're not but you still got between worlds Alex you didn't build the trap but you're still
27:43sitting in it and I'm trying to tear it down every day then do it let's stop acting like I'm the reason
27:49you might or might not I'm just afraid if I don't act fast enough she'll trap me in it if she already has
27:55you didn't think she was gonna go public no not like this then figure it out but please do it fast
28:08her past dig into it find someone who still got a hold on her let's see how committed she is
28:21wait what I just got an email from a gallery in Paris they want to feature me that's amazing
28:32have you applied no apparently someone saw my making those photos online gallery Leclerc okay
28:41they're legit but scroll to the bottom look look at the sponsor list
28:46Georgiopolis Cultural Foundation could be a coincidence or not might be worth a call ask how they found you
29:00god I'm so tired of all this
29:03did you really think I wasn't gonna find out you're welcome this isn't help it's manipulation
29:20I gave her something she was already looking for you just can't stand not pulling the strings
29:25I gave her something you couldn't she doesn't need your bribe you're not afraid of losing her
29:30you're afraid she never needed you in the first place if she walks now it's because of you and I
29:35won't forget that
29:36hey what's up hey didn't expect to see you here wanted to catch up yeah been thinking the same
29:52things have been uh off lately tell me about it if I were to ask you something straight would you be
29:59honest depends on what the questions are you've always been loyal to my father but you're not
30:05blind so tell me something I don't know because something about this whole Lena thing doesn't add up
30:11Alex I can't uh really talk about it right now not while she's here she's here then can you meet me
30:24tomorrow somewhere she doesn't know you pick the place okay
30:30if he finds out he won't be the only one who goes down
30:44where are you Marco
30:53coward little man you're never loyal just scared
31:05well well Andrew still ignoring my text huh what are you doing here I told you I'd cross an ocean for
31:19you no more mixed signals I'm here for us are you stalking me people who care make it their business to
31:26know who the hell is he and why is he touching her he was about to kiss you yesterday what case are
31:40you talking about I didn't even know he was here you have to believe that I was pushing him away but
31:45he is here Kate and you know exactly where to find you that doesn't just happen you think I planned
31:49this I don't know what to think anymore thank you what is this where did you get that came with
32:08your flowers Alex I didn't send it I swear I don't even remember that photo well someone does hey this
32:14is our mistake from the beginning
32:15one crack that's all it takes
32:26your gobblous air caught cheating Alex fiance expecting they don't even pretend to ask if it's true is your
32:39name in there too I should have seen it coming they want me gone then don't leave
32:44let them choke in their own mess sit let's keep it civil shall we the doctors told me I have to take
32:59it easy stress at my age isn't exactly harmless then stop fueling it you and mom both the board wants
33:07clarity I think I've lost control so I'm considering naming a successor you're asking me to choose
33:16between the life I want and the life you've chosen that's not clarity that's blackmail I'm asking you to
33:23think because once this is done there's no undoing it and don't forget Elena has been loyal to us why would
33:32you say that because you're not the only candidate especially when she's carrying the next generation
33:40of our family
33:41you haven't looked at me since we got back to Athens trying to fix this and clear our names
33:53maybe the easiest fix is still for me to go okay please don't say that the only reason any of this
33:58is happening is because of Elena then stop letting her win do you really think I believe
34:02she's pregnant what if it's staged or someone else's baby maybe but you're still using every second to
34:08twist the truth you need to see this now what is it I passed the florist in black or someone dropped
34:15this I grabbed it before they could
34:17your mom sent it she wanted you to think I lied tell me again this wasn't planned
34:28Elena's the reason my mother's acting like this she wants you gone she's using everyone to do it
34:34then let's make sure she's the one who disappears
34:37they tried to break us and if I hadn't opened that envelope maybe they would have
34:43whatever Elena started all ended we leave tomorrow let's go back to Mykonos just us
35:13your family tried to buy me off dig into my past like I'm some threat to your future
35:32they're afraid of you because you don't want anything from them that makes you dangerous
35:37and I'm done protecting their fears
35:39maybe it's time we hit back with our own story on our terms you really think we can win against
35:45them only if we stop playing nice
35:47are you coming to the house you should have called first I figured surprises were your thing
36:03this isn't how civilized people handle conflict neither is hiring investigators or sending bribes and
36:10envelopes but here we are if you think you're intimidating me I'm not here to scare you
36:15just to warn you a threat the fact you tried to ruin my relationship you failed keep pushing and the
36:23next thing you'll lose won't be a schema will be your son you're very bold Miss Miller that's the
36:28polite way to say you underestimated me no records no scandal just some love letters
36:38I won't need your services anymore
36:47oh well sooner or later Eleanor will sort something out
37:00I assumed I would see you eventually
37:08because of theatrics why'd you send the flowers I didn't send flowers I sent a warning you used Kate's
37:16pass as a weapon you really want her gone that badly can't you just see how incompatible she is in
37:22our world and what about Elena you really think she belongs what if her baby isn't mine
37:27then don't say it out loud unless you are really sure
37:33paternity test you really think she'd fake something like this yes I do be careful Alex
37:42accusing her means accusing the whole family for trusting her
37:46do it quietly and don't bring shame on the family unless you're sure she elected
37:55she picked the battlefield now I have to fight on her terms now we see how far she's really willing to go
38:08hey we need to talk I need the truth
38:20hey Alex you're putting me in an impossible situation no Elena has look Alex after you left
38:28she was a wreck she started calling dropping by and one night she kissed me and I didn't stop it
38:37I thought it would blow over but it didn't and when she said she was pregnant did you do the math
38:41look I don't know if I'm the father I know there may be a chance
38:46but I know I should have told you sooner Lisa didn't lie to my face
38:50he's treating me like a liar he wants a paternity test
39:03you'll let him humiliate me like that after everything I've done for this family
39:09you need to rest Elena the stress isn't good for you
39:13guess that test just became pointless
39:23there's no coming back from this even for her
39:28we've reviewed everything your messages the clinic records you never disclosed
39:37you went through my private medical file you dragged our name into the press
39:41and just to protect your position not the family
39:45Marco has been fired you're leaving the company effective immediately
39:49you can't be serious we're done being embarrassed please leave
39:54I'm glad she chose to leave the country in the end
40:02maybe she was never meant for this
40:04then who is
40:08Leo
40:12Leo
40:14someone help
40:17Leo
40:24he is stable for now but we need to keep him under observation
40:31you care about him
40:34of course I do
40:35then understand this
40:36we've all made choices we later may be regretted
40:40but no one in this family has acted with malice
40:44and yet it cost you almost everything
40:46then be better than we are
40:48that's the plan
40:49they always said succession would be clear
41:08but he didn't say if Alex wants it
41:11it doesn't matter what he wants anymore
41:13the company needs a future
41:16and this can't fall into the wrong hands
41:18it has to be Alex
41:21there is no one else
41:22mom you said something in that meeting about the company
41:33I said what your father should have said years ago
41:36do you really think it's the right time
41:38no one is ever ready
41:39but you've done what most people wouldn't dare
41:42you stood up for your life
41:44I didn't do any of it alone
41:46I know
41:46you made him stronger
41:48thank you for staying
41:50we made each other stronger
41:51and you didn't just stay
41:53you fought
41:54he's worth it
41:55I spent my life guarding our family status
41:57but you two are building something real
42:00then help us protect it
42:02he is awake
42:04and he asks for you
42:06I can't run the company anymore Alex
42:18it's your turn to lead
42:20I never wanted the crown
42:22nobody ever does
42:24not if they're decent
42:26or smart like you
42:28I respect what you built
42:30I'll protect it
42:31but only on my terms
42:32I love Kate
42:34she's part of my future
42:35and I see that now
42:37if I do this
42:38it won't be to preserve the past
42:41it'll be to build something better
42:42then build it
42:44but don't lose yourself in the process
42:48your life belongs to you now
42:51Alex
42:51so
43:00what did you decide
43:02I said yes
43:03but I told him this time
43:06I'm not choosing between love and family
43:08just make sure they know that
43:10and make sure they mean it
43:12your father's agenda
43:21from the last six months
43:22thank you
43:23I'll take it from here
43:25Kate
43:30I'm sorry
43:31give me an hour
43:33and I'll call you back
43:34okay
43:34it's okay
43:35I understand
43:36I meant it when I said
43:38I wouldn't let them get between us
43:39and
43:40I'm not asking you to choose
43:42I'm asking you to show up
43:44what exactly am I being paid for?
43:52to forget us all
43:53and to forget Greece
43:55maybe I was just the exception
43:57until the rules start applying again
44:00six months in Paris
44:05it's the life I wanted before any of this
44:07funny how the thing I wanted the most
44:12still wants me back
44:13this time
44:16I need to choose myself
44:18you know we could have stayed in Athens longer
44:37it didn't feel right
44:38I wanted us to say goodbye to this place too
44:40you got the offer
44:41to new you
44:42six months in Paris
44:44you're stepping into your world
44:46I need to figure out
44:46what to do with mine
44:47we'll make it work
44:48I want us to Alex
44:50but I can't keep putting my life on pause
44:53and I'm not asking you to
44:54just asking you to find a way together
44:58are you sure you don't want me to drive you?
45:04it's better if I go alone
45:05even if we're not together
45:07every day for a while
45:08you're still the person
45:09I want to build the rest of my life with
45:11I know we're strong
45:18I just hope we don't forget how to come back
45:20hey
45:38how's Paris treating you today?
45:41busy
45:41beautiful
45:42they want to feature my work in an opening preview
45:46that's huge Kate
45:48it feels like a dream
45:49but it still feels better when I hear your voice
45:52I miss you
45:54I booked a flight for Friday
45:55and again next week
45:57I'm not going to let distance come between us
45:59you're flying out here?
46:01every weekend I can
46:02I'm not good at long distance
46:04but I'll do everything I can to be there
46:06you making the effort
46:08that's what matters to me
46:09hey mom, what's up?
46:16Alex, you need to come to the hospital now
46:19it's your father
46:20was the funeral how you wouldn't want it?
46:35he hated long speeches
46:36I kept it short
46:38just like he did with his praise
46:40now his name's on the marble wall
46:43and I'm expected to fill the space he left behind
46:46he always trusted you
46:48even when he didn't say it
46:49I'll do everything I can to honor his legacy
46:52but I'm not him
46:53and I hope people would stop expecting me to be
46:55you don't have to do it his way
46:58you just have to leave
47:00like yourself
47:01if they still think I'm his weakness
47:22they've clearly underestimated both of us
47:25you push this through without consensus
47:31no, I push this through
47:32because it's delivering 50% growth month over month
47:35new markets, new partnerships
47:37that's how we move ahead
47:39Leo wouldn't have
47:40my father is in here
47:42and I'm not here to imitate him
47:43we build upon my father's legacy
47:46but the world is changing
47:47either we keep up
47:48or get replaced
47:49you just closed the biggest deal in years
47:53why do you look so lost?
47:55Kate should have been here
47:56Alex, I spent my entire life guarding your name
48:00but after your father
48:02I see it means nothing without love
48:04I don't want to lose her, Mom
48:07then give her more than a place in your heart
48:10let's help her build something here
48:12something that's truly hers
48:14the space looks beautiful
48:27thank you
48:27I still can't believe this is really happening
48:30well, the space is all yours
48:32for however long you want
48:34you can stay in Athens if you want
48:36that's generous
48:38and a lot
48:39but I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel right
48:41well, you don't have to decide now
48:44but I see how steady you make him feel
48:47and he needs that
48:48and maybe I need a place
48:50that I can grow and still be with him
48:52maybe this is it
48:54let's make this quick
48:56we need to leave in 20 minutes
48:58to get to Kate's gallery opening
48:59we've got bigger problem
49:00Eleanor's contracts are a mess
49:02and the press is circling
49:03if we don't get ahead of it
49:04this will land on your desk
49:05I gave my word
49:07then consider what your absence here then
49:09says about your priorities
49:10then let's fix it
49:17you said you'd come
49:32I looked for you all day
49:33I know, I'm sorry
49:34the board dropped a mess in my lap
49:36and missing this
49:37it's the last time I make that mistake
49:39this isn't about this
49:40it's about you showing me
49:41I'm not alone here
49:42Kate, you're not alone
49:43not now
49:44not ever
49:45will you marry me, Kate?
49:49yes
49:49yes
49:51Kate, are you okay?
49:59yes, it's just a wave of something
50:01I need to sit down
50:03really taking that old mug with you?
50:15it's the one I use every morning here
50:17it kind of feels like it holds more than coffee now
50:20are you okay?
50:21you seem very skeptical
50:22I'm just tired
50:24trying not to think too much
50:25maybe try thinking out loud with me
50:27maybe later, okay?
50:29okay
50:31maybe I'll take it
50:32maybe I'll tell you
50:33maybe I'll tell you
50:33maybe I'll tell you
50:34to say
50:35whether or not
50:36I'll tell you
50:37maybe I'll tell you
51:07Kate.
51:13Oh, Brendan.
51:17Are you okay?
51:21I don't know.
51:24I'm just scared of what this might mean for us, for everything.
51:28Hey, it means you start something new, together.
51:33I keep thinking of everything we've been through.
51:35All the noise, the pressure.
51:38What if it all starts again?
51:40Then we shut it out.
51:42We don't need to prove anything to anyone anymore.
51:46You really think we can start a family without letting all the old stuff get in the way?
51:51We won't follow their rules.
51:52We'll make our own.
51:53No matter what happens now, you're not doing this alone.
51:59This is really happening.
52:13Finally.
52:14No chaos, no cameras, no Giotopoulos drama.
52:17Just us, Lena, and the sea.
52:20And a few nosy neighbors, maybe.
52:21Exactly.
52:23The wedding I never knew I wanted.
52:27You two survived secrets, scandals, and at least three people who tried to sabotage this.
52:34So let's keep the drama and get to the good part.
52:37Also, I'm only legally ordained because of a dare and too much wine.
52:42That sounds about right.
52:45If either of you objects, blink twice now so I can run.
52:49Not blinking.
52:50Great.
52:51Then by the power of investors and me, by the internet and questionable life choices,
52:56I now pronounce you very brave.
53:00Or possibly just in love.
53:03I choose you every day, no matter where the story tastes.
53:07So let's write it again.
53:09I think they'll believe we really need it.
53:23They'll see it in everything we build next.
