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