The Heir Of My Konos
Transcript
00:01Then you must owe me lunch.
00:03Get in, Alexandros.
00:04You will lose everything over this.
00:06Your name, your position.
00:08They 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.
00:29She fits the life you were born with.
00:32Well, if she won't leave on her own,
00:35it will help her.
00:37Is 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.
00:53Still ignoring my text, huh?
00:54Andrew? Are you stalking me?
00:56People who care, I get their business to know.
00:58I can't 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.
01:20You're not doing this alone.
01:22...
01:40Hey, careful.
01:42Oh, my God. You just saved me 1,000 euros.
01:45Then you must owe me lunch.
01:47Do all locals who flirt after new collisions?
01:49You are in my way, not my fault.
01:52Looking for something in particular?
01:54I just got here. I'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. Could show you a few spots.
02:05No offense, but that's how tourists disappear.
02:08Oldest bakery on the island is around the corner.
02:10You're more than welcome to follow.
02:12Or not.
02:21You know, my friend is a baker, and I like it.
02:28Playing with her is it?
02:30Yeah, I'll be keeping in mind when we follow.
02:37Okay, that was unreal.
02:39Told you. No tourist ever finds this place online.
02:43Hey.
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?
03:37Probably just a tourist.
03:40Happens all the time.
03:45I 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?
03:57No.
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.
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?
04:26Yes?
04:31People are watching it because it was an exodus.
04:34End this quietly, please, and return to Athens.
04:37I need you here immediately.
04:46Your secret spot?
04:49Only for people I like.
04:50You joining?
04:57Wait, seriously?
05:03You're actually insane.
05:09You joining or just watching?
05:12I'm enjoying the view.
05:24I didn't want you thinking I stared intentionally.
05:28Maybe I hoped you were.
05:29You're right.
05:29You're right.
05:30I don't want you to.
05:30I don't want you to.
05:31I don't want you to.
05:31So, that kiss yesterday, just a thanks for the moment?
05:36Felt perfect. Like now.
05:49That was his shirt. European royalty?
05:52Are all Americans this nosy?
05:55That felt like a wall.
05:57We should head back. It'll get cold soon.
06:01Look who finally remembered me.
06:07Sorry I've been in my A. It's great here.
06:10And I haven't been scammed yet.
06:12Proud of you.
06:14Also, I met someone.
06:16Of course you did.
06:18We literally bumped into each other.
06:20He caught my camera when I dropped it and then offered to show me around.
06:24And for once, I said yes.
06:27Oh no.
06:28I know. I know.
06:30Who is he? Maybe someone knows him.
06:32I actually don't even know his last name.
06:35Or much of anything really.
06:37Hi, Alex.
06:42You've been hard to find.
06:43Not now, Marco.
06:44Your father's concerned.
06:46There's been talk about that girl.
06:48Let them talk.
06:49You know how this looks.
06:51Discretion used to matter to you.
06:53Say what you came to say.
06:54This sabbatical?
06:56Is it about Elena?
06:57What do you think?
06:58I think it is.
06:59From her.
07:03That might have been the best night I've had in a while.
07:17Same here.
07:18Thank you for staying.
07:19Are you hungry?
07:20Starving.
07:21You know that's my favorite t-shirt, right?
07:22But now, it's mine.
07:23Do you always keep a spare toothbrush in your guest drawer?
07:24Maybe I like to be prepared.
07:25For tourists.
07:26For possibilities.
07:27You ever say something real?
07:28Or just in such sound good.
07:29Lunch.
07:30Let's.
07:31You will love this one.
07:32I do not love this one.
07:34Yes.
07:35No, I love it.
07:40You will love this one.
07:43Bye.
07:45Bye.
07:46Bye.
07:47Bye.
07:52Bye.
07:56Bordeaux, 2015
08:02Correct
08:03Okay, Shirtcrest
08:10And Elvis
08:11Who are you?
08:12James Bond
08:13Greek can't have taste
08:14Alex?
08:17Helena
08:18What are you doing here?
08:19Your parents insist that I find you
08:21They're worried
08:23There's too much at stake to ignore this
08:26What do you want to leave me here?
08:32Relax, I'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
08:38There's still a future, if you want it
08:42Thank you, I don't
08:43You 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
08:49Confusing the past doesn't erase it
08:51It just means someone else decides for you
08:56You need to come back to Athens
09:02The Borde is moving without you
09:04And end this thing with a tourist
09:06People have seen you, it's getting embarrassing
09:09He was speaking to his ex
09:24Then his father called
09:26I answered his phone
09:27Kate, I love you, but you always do this
09:31You rush in hot first
09:32Remember Andrew?
09:34This isn't Andrew
09:35Maybe, but you need to stop guessing
09:38Ask him, really ask him
09:40Anything you want to tell me?
09:53Or should I just wait for the next call?
09:55Look, Kate, my father oversteps, he always has
09:58This isn't about him, it's about her, Elena
10:01We were together since we were kids
10:03The family's approved, but I moved on
10:06She just never did
10:08You were engaged?
10:12I never loved her, Kate
10:13I should have told you
10:15I should have told you
10:15Just don't ask me anything else today, okay?
10:35Girls like you are summer storms
10:37But storms pass, you're nothing special
10:41Kate
10:55Is that what they think I am?
10:57A passing storm?
10:58She's just trying to scare you
10:59She's not wrong
11:00This, us, it's not built to last
11:03Then let's change that
11:04I don't want to be a rebellion, Alec
11:05You're not, you're the first thing I've ever chosen for myself
11:08Then tell her
11:09Tell her it's over
11:10It's over
11:11Has been for a long time
11:13Good
11:14She's not going away, is she?
11:28I think he's serious about her
11:29Well, if she won't leave on her own
11:32We'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
11:57I warned her
11:59Girls like her never left
12:01You should thank me for speeding it up
12:03What do you want, Elena?
12:03I want what I've always had
12:06Your love
12:07Get in, Alexandros
12:16You will lose everything over this
12:19Your name
12:21Your position
12:22And 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
12:30But look where you are
12:32Alex?
12:43You've been quiet since breakfast
12:45Did my eggs offend you?
12:47No
12:47I 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
12:54Still tied to a life I never chose
12:57Oh, let me help
12:58Do you want to stay with me tonight?
13:01If you want me to
13:03I'm not good at this
13:05The normal, everyday part
13:07Try me
13:08Some nights I wish I could burn it all down
13:11The name
13:12The expectations
13:14What stops you?
13:15People like my mother
13:17People who smile while pulling the strings
13:20And cotton loose
13:21You better move fast, Alex
13:30She's already pulling strings
13:32Everything okay?
13:43You tell me
13:45Where'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
13:56Look, Kate
13:57I don't care about their money
13:58Or their legacy
14:00None of that really matters to me
14:01But you really do
14:02I'm falling for you, Kate
14:04Fast
14:05And maybe even recklessly
14:06But it's all very real
14:08Then stop holding back
14:13Hmm
14:27She's pretty
14:28Interesting
14:31Maybe someone from her past
14:33Could be useful
14:34You survive the night?
14:43Kind of
14:44The coffee always helps
14:46So
14:49This version of you
14:51Coffee
14:52Half naked
14:53Charming
14:54Is that sticking around?
14:56I don't know
14:57What if it is?
14:58I meant what I said last night
14:59I told Lena to meet her at the cafe by the marina
15:02She'll think you kidnapped me
15:03I want to be the worst rumor
15:05Hmm
15:07Helena Vassilio, Georgiopoulos' family's former fiancé
15:12Is rumored to be determined to secure a place in their financial future
15:16Despite their recent broken engagement
15:19This wasn't some ex, this was the plan
15:29Let's see what else you forgot to mention
15:33I found this while I was waiting for you
15:41I was just flipping through and
15:43Bam
15:46That's Elena
15:47And that's Alex's mother
15:49Sophia Georgiopoulos
15:51You know her?
15:52Everyone does
15:53The Georgiopoulos' family is Greece's biggest shipping dynasty
15:57They run the country pretty much
15:58That's who I just had breakfast with?
16:00You've been sleeping next to the air
16:02And no one warned me?
16:03You didn't ask for his name, Kate
16:05Now you know why he didn't offer it
16:07This whole time
16:08He never gave me the full story
16:09So that's the girl
16:16Hmm
16:17Let's see what she's made of
16:20That's where I learned how to play guitar
16:26Let me guess
16:28Your family hated after 10 minutes?
16:31Five
16:32I was relentless
16:32And now?
16:35Now I only play for carefully selected audiences
16:38My compliment doesn't buy me a private concert
16:41Something wrong?
16:49No, no
16:50Just
16:50Just have it
16:51It's unreal
16:54Like the whole world slows down just enough to breathe
16:58That's why people never leave
17:00Is that why you're still here?
17:02Something like that
17:03You know him?
17:11No
17:12Let's go the other way
17:13Why?
17:14You said it go
17:14You've been dodging this since the first day
17:17What is it I'm not supposed to see?
17:19What aren't you telling me?
17:23That's them, isn't it?
17:38You've been hiding something since the day we met
17:40I'm done guessing
17:41Who were they?
17:42My parents
17:42And Elena?
17:43She was sent by them
17:45My father runs Georgiopolis Shipping
17:48I was supposed to take over
17:49Elena was part of the plan
17:51So she's not just your ex
17:53She's your legacy
17:54She's my past
17:55Then what am I?
17:57Everything with you is real
17:58Except your name
17:58Your past
17:59And that your family could crush me without even blinking
18:02I was just trying to protect you
18:03Too late
18:04You should have told me from the beginning
18:08Can I come in?
18:20I didn't want you to find out like that
18:21You had a hundred chances to tell me
18:23But you didn't
18:24I didn't lie to protect myself
18:25I lied to protect this
18:27And now?
18:28Now I want to try for real
18:29Have lunch with me
18:30With her
18:31Your mother?
18:33Yes
18:34We can call it character building
18:37The weather's been kind this week
18:45Mykonos is really stunning
18:47So Kate
18:49What brought you here?
18:50I'm a photographer
18:51I freelance
18:52I see
18:54Alex has always liked foreign things
18:57Hey
18:57I meant art
18:59And languages
19:01He's an excellent translator
19:02And surprisingly
19:03A great cook
19:05Cooking is a skill
19:06For people with time
19:08You're not going to be warmed
19:09At least be respectful
19:10Respect is earned
19:12And timing is everything
19:14You will learn that eventually
19:16And now?
19:20Excuse me
19:21I know that look
19:31Were you expecting me to be happy?
19:33I'm sorry
19:34She's a particular taste
19:36She looked at me like I was a waiter
19:38I know
19:38I know
19:39I'm sorry
19:40But at least we had a great dessert
19:41After all that
19:42Stay again tonight?
19:47If you stop apologizing
19:48Probably just the neighbor again
19:52Good evening
19:58Apologies for the drop-in
20:00But business doesn't wait
20:01Elena
20:02Kate
20:03Still here
20:04I see
20:05Why are you here?
20:06Just finalizing
20:08A few things
20:09Some of us still take matters seriously
20:11Good luck
20:14You'll need it
20:15Whoa
20:22These are shared transfer papers
20:24She owns a piece of your family's company?
20:29She just declared war
20:30This is real
20:34She tied herself back in
20:36She's a power junkie
20:37Losing me through her off balance
20:39She's not done
20:40No
20:40But neither are we
20:41You're the reason I want out
20:43She doesn't get to write the ending
20:45Didn't mean to wake you
20:49What time is it?
20:52Early
20:52I have to take care of something
20:55Just a few days
20:56You're really leaving?
20:58I have to
20:59But I'll be back
21:00Okay
21:02Just come back home, please
21:04Don't forget how this feels, okay?
21:20Looks like I'm not waiting after all
21:22You came
21:30I knew you would
21:31Don't flatter yourself
21:32I came for answers
21:33You came
21:34That's what matters
21:36Skip the performance
21:37What do you want?
21:38What I've always wanted
21:39For you to grow up
21:41And take what's yours
21:42Be part of the family
21:43What family?
21:45The kind that sends assistants
21:46Instead of invitations?
21:47You weren't exactly
21:48Answering our calls
21:49Now
21:51If you want to act like a man
21:53Here's your crown
21:55What is it?
21:57An official succession plan
21:59We all signed it this morning
22:02Well you forged my name
22:04To trap me
22:04And you just gave me a way out
22:06We've done this before, Alexandros
22:11Don't act like it's something sacred
22:14And Elena
22:15She's still part of the plan
22:17Her name brings confidence
22:21Investors see stability
22:23I'm not building a life
22:25With someone I've already left in the past
22:27Because this tie
22:28If you cut it
22:30Will cost the whole family
22:32Then you built the wrong family
22:36He's inside
22:47I thought you'd want to hear it all from him
22:50He said you asked for me
22:58Of course he did
23:00You said you came to walk away
23:02But this place will always own you
23:04Now it's my turn
23:06Let's see what it will take
23:10For you to walk away
23:12This is for you
23:17What exactly am I being paid for?
23:25To forget us all
23:26And to forget Greece
23:27You can't buy me off
23:28Like you did with Elena
23:29Your son is in your property
23:31Neither am I
23:32He was supposed to lead our company
23:33Not run off with a tourist
23:35What's going on?
23:37Your mother just tried
23:38To send me back to America
23:39If she truly cared
23:44She would leave on her own
23:45Enough
23:46This ends here
23:48If she stays
23:49Or if she goes
23:50That's her choice
23:51Not yours
23:52So
23:58That went well
24:00I'm sorry
24:01She'll stop
24:03She won't
24:07But I'm not leaving
24:10Enjoy your fairy tale
24:25Kate
24:26What now?
24:35This was just dropped off
24:40At the estate
24:41Just your father
24:43And the board
24:44She's twisting everything
24:53Making it seem like
24:54I'm not in my right mind
24:55It's already been forwarded to legal
24:57She's playing hardball now
24:59And what?
24:59You're just the messenger
25:00You asked for honesty
25:02I'm just delivering it
25:03She lies
25:04Slanders
25:05And yet she still ends up protected
25:06She's not protected
25:07She's strategic
25:09How unhinged is she?
25:17The timing makes this impossible
25:19She's bluffing
25:20And desperate
25:21I passed a mark on the whole day
25:26What happened?
25:27A letter she sent to my father
25:28And the board
25:29And she slipped this in
25:31Like it proves anything
25:34Wait
25:34Is this pregnant?
25:36That's what she wants people to think
25:37But I know it's not mine
25:38The math doesn't add up
25:40And she sends that
25:41Instead of saying a word?
25:42That's the point
25:43She doesn't want to talk
25:44She wanted leverage
25:45Then what now?
25:47Just give me time
25:48I'll prove it
25:49And then I'm done
25:49It's quiet out here
25:58Like the rest of the world
26:00Just doesn't exist
26:01That's why I brought you here
26:03When this is over
26:05I'm done
26:06For good
26:07No more strings
26:09No more secrets
26:10And when this ends
26:11If you still want me
26:13I'm yours
26:13She really did it
26:31You always said you wanted a family
26:34Well
26:35Here we are
26:36And when exactly
26:38Were you going to tell me?
26:39I just did
26:40You had two months
26:41Why now?
26:43Timing is everything
26:44You know it
26:45Every part of this is calculated
26:46You're using a child as a pawn
26:48I'm not
26:49But you think my timing
26:50Changes what it is?
26:51Yes
26:52It does
26:52You walk away from me now
26:55You are not walking away clean
26:56I don't know who you are anymore
26:58I'm the mother of your child
27:01Then you better be
27:02For their sake
27:04This is never about the baby
27:19It's always about the name
27:20I didn't follow you to fix things
27:31I just need you to know
27:32I'm not choosing her
27:33I know you're not
27:34But you're still caught
27:35Between worlds, Alex
27:36You didn't build the trap
27:38But you're still sitting in it
27:39And I'm trying to tear it down
27:40Every day
27:41Then do it
27:42But stop acting like I'm the reason
27:44You might or might not
27:45I'm just afraid
27:45If I don't act fast enough
27:46She'll trap me in it
27:47And if she already has
27:50You didn't think
27:57She was gonna go public?
27:58No
27:59Not like this
28:00Then figure it out
28:01But please do it fast
28:03Her past
28:07Dig into it
28:08Find someone
28:10Who's still got a hold on her
28:11Let's see how committed she is
28:20Wait, what?
28:22I just got an email
28:23From a gallery in Paris
28:24They want to feature me
28:26That's amazing
28:27Had you applied?
28:28No
28:29Apparently someone saw
28:31My making those photos online
28:32Galerie Leclerc
28:34Okay, they're legit
28:37But scroll to the bottom
28:39Look at the sponsor list
28:41Georgiopolis Cultural Foundation
28:47Could be a coincidence
28:49Or not
28:51Might be worth a call
28:54Ask how they found you
28:55God
28:56I'm so tired of all this
28:58Did you really think
29:10I wasn't gonna find out?
29:12You're welcome
29:13This isn't help
29:14It's manipulation
29:15I gave her something
29:17She was already looking for
29:18You just can't stand
29:19Not pulling the strings
29:20I gave her something
29:22You couldn't
29:23She doesn't need your bribe
29:24You're not afraid of losing her
29:25You're afraid she never needed you
29:27In the first place
29:28If she walks now
29:29It's because of you
29:30And I won't forget that
29:31Hey
29:39What's up?
29:41Hey
29:42Didn't expect to see you here
29:44Wanted to catch up
29:45Yeah
29:46Been thinking the same
29:47Things have been
29:49Off
29:50Lately
29:51Tell me about it
29:52If I were to ask you
29:53Something straight
29:54Would you be honest?
29:56Depends on what
29:56The questions are
29:57You've always been
29:58Loyal to my father
29:59But you're not blind
30:00So tell me something
30:01I don't know
30:02Because
30:03Something about this
30:04Whole Lena thing
30:05Doesn't add up
30:06Alex
30:07I
30:08Can't
30:09Really
30:11Talk about it
30:12Right now
30:13Not while she's here
30:16She's here
30:18Then can you meet me tomorrow
30:20Somewhere she doesn't know
30:22You pick the place
30:23Okay
30:25If he finds out
30:37He won't be the only one
30:39Who goes down
30:39Where are you, Marco?
30:56Coward little man
30:57You were never loyal
30:59Just scared
31:00Well, well
31:08Andrew?
31:10Still ignoring my text, huh?
31:11What are you doing here?
31:13I told you I'd cross an ocean for you
31:15No more mixed signals
31:16I'm here for us
31:18Are you stalking me?
31:19People who care
31:20Make it their business to know
31:21Who the hell is he?
31:29And why is he touching her?
31:32He was about to kiss you yesterday
31:34What kiss are you talking about?
31:36I didn't even know he was here
31:38You have to believe that
31:38I was pushing him away
31:40But he is here, Kate
31:41And you knew exactly where to find you
31:42That doesn't just happen
31:43You think I planned this?
31:45I don't know what to think anymore
31:46Thank you
31:54What is this?
32:01Where did you get that?
32:03It came with your flowers
32:03Alex, I didn't send it, I swear
32:05I don't even remember that photo
32:07Well, someone does
32:08Maybe this is all a mistake
32:10From the beginning
32:16One crack
32:20That's all it takes
32:21Your gobblous air caught cheating
32:29While ex-fiance expecting
32:31They don't even pretend to ask if it's true
32:34Is your name in there too?
32:35I should have seen it coming
32:36They want me gone
32:38Then don't leave
32:39Let them choke in their own mess
32:46Sit
32:48Let's keep it civil, shall we?
32:52The doctors told me
32:53I have to take it easy
32:54Stress at my age
32:56Isn't exactly harmless
32:57Then stop fueling it
32:59You and mom both
33:00The board wants clarity
33:03I think I've lost control
33:06So I'm considering naming a successor
33:09You're asking me to choose
33:11Between the life I want
33:12And the life you've chosen
33:13That's not clarity
33:15That's blackmail
33:16I'm asking you to think
33:19Because once this is done
33:20There's no undoing it
33:22And don't forget
33:24Elena has been loyal to us
33:27Why would you say that?
33:29Because you're not the only candidate
33:31Especially when she's carrying
33:34The next generation of our family
33:36You haven't looked at me
33:44Since we got back to Athens
33:45I'm trying to fix this
33:47And clear our names
33:48Maybe the easiest fix
33:49Is still for me to go
33:50Kate, please don't say that
33:52The only reason
33:52Any of this is happening
33:53Is because of Elena
33:54Then stop letting her win
33:56Do you really think
33:57I believe she's pregnant?
33:58What if it's staged?
34:00Or someone else's baby?
34:01Maybe
34:01But she's still using every second
34:03To twist the truth
34:04You need to see this
34:07Now
34:08What is it?
34:09I passed the florist in black
34:09Or someone dropped this
34:10I grabbed it before they could
34:12Your mom sent it
34:19She wanted you to think I lied
34:20Tell me again this wasn't planned
34:23Elena's the reason my mother's acting like this
34:26She wants you gone
34:28She's using everyone to do it
34:29Then let's make sure
34:31She's the one who disappears
34:32They tried to break us
34:35And if I hadn't opened that envelope
34:37Maybe they would have
34:38Whatever Elena started
34:40All ended
34:41We leave tomorrow
34:42Let's go back to Mykonos
34:44Just us
34:58Your family tried to buy me off
35:24Dig into my past like I'm some threat to your future
35:27They're afraid of you
35:29Because you don't want anything from them
35:31That makes you dangerous
35:32And I'm done protecting their fears
35:34Maybe it's time we hit back with our own story
35:37On our terms
35:38You really think we can win against them?
35:40Only if we stop playing nice
35:42Are you coming to the house?
35:55You should have called first
35:56I figured surprises were your thing
35:58This isn't how civilized people handle conflict
36:02Neither is hiring investigators or sending bribes in envelopes
36:06But here we are
36:06If you think you're intimidating me
36:09I'm not here to scare you
36:10Just to warn you
36:11A threat
36:13A fact
36:13You tried to ruin my relationship
36:16You failed
36:17Keep pushing
36:18And the next thing you'll lose won't be a scheme
36:20It will be your son
36:20You're very bold, Miss Miller
36:22That's the polite way to say you underestimated me
36:25No records
36:30No scandal
36:31Just some love letters
36:33I won't need your services anymore
36:43Oh well
36:51Sooner or later
36:53Eleanor will sort something out
36:55I assumed I would see you eventually
37:04Because of theatrics
37:05Why'd you send the flowers?
37:07I didn't send flowers
37:08I sent a warning
37:10You used Kate's pass as a weapon
37:12You really want her gone that badly?
37:14Can't you just see how incompatible she is in our world?
37:18And what about Elena?
37:19You really think she belongs?
37:21What if her baby isn't mine?
37:23Then don't say it out loud
37:25Unless you are really sure
37:28A paternity test?
37:32You really think she'd fake something like this?
37:35Yes, I do
37:36Be careful, Alex
37:37Accusing her means accusing the whole family
37:40For trusting her
37:41Do it quietly
37:46And don't bring shame on the family
37:49Unless you're sure she inherited
37:50She picked the battlefield
37:57Now I have to fight on her terms
37:59Now we see how far she's really willing to go
38:11Hey
38:13We need to talk
38:14I need the truth
38:15Hey, Alex
38:17You're putting me in an impossible situation
38:20No, Elena has
38:21Look, Alex, after you left
38:23She was a wreck
38:24She started calling
38:26Dropping by
38:27And one night she kissed me
38:29And I didn't stop it
38:32I thought it would blow over
38:33But it didn't
38:33And when she said she was pregnant
38:35Did you do the math?
38:37Look, I don't know if I'm the father
38:39I know there may be a chance
38:41But I know I should have told you sooner
38:43At least it didn't lie to my face
38:45He's treating me like a liar
38:56He wants a paternity test
38:58You'll let him humiliate me like that?
39:02After everything I've done for this family?
39:04You need to rest, Elena
39:06The stress isn't good for you
39:11Guess that test just became pointless
39:18There's no coming back from this
39:22Even for her
39:24We've reviewed everything
39:28Your messages
39:29The clinic records you never disclosed
39:32You went through my private medical files
39:34You dragged our name into the press
39:36And just to protect your position
39:39Not the family
39:40Marco has been fired
39:41You're leaving the company
39:43Effective immediately
39:44You can't be serious
39:46We're done being embarrassed
39:48Please leave
39:49I'm glad she chose to leave the country in the end
39:57Maybe she was never meant for this
40:00Then who is?
40:06Leo
40:07Leo
40:10Someone help
40:12Leo
40:12He's stable for now
40:20But we need to keep him under observation
40:22You care about him?
40:29Of course I do
40:30Then understand this
40:31We've all made choices
40:33We later may be regretted
40:35But no one in this family has acted with malice
40:39And yet it costs you almost everything
40:41Then be better than we are
40:43That's the plan
40:44They always said succession would be clear
41:04But he didn't say if Alex wants it
41:06It doesn't matter what he wants anymore
41:08The company needs a future
41:11And this can't fall into the wrong hands
41:14It has to be Alex
41:16There is no one else
41:17Mom, you said something in that meeting
41:28About the company
41:29I said what your father should have said years ago
41:31Do you really think it's the right time?
41:33No one is ever ready
41:35But you've done what most people wouldn't dare
41:38You stood up for your life
41:39I didn't do any of it alone
41:41I know
41:41You made him stronger
41:43Thank you for staying
41:45We made each other stronger
41:46And you didn't just stay
41:48You fought
41:49He's worth it
41:50I spent my life guarding our family status
41:53But you two are building something real
41:55Then help us protect it
41:57He's awake
41:59And he asks for you
42:01I can't run the company anymore, Alex
42:13It's your turn to lead
42:15I never wanted the crown
42:18Nobody ever does
42:19Not if they're decent
42:21Or smart like you
42:23I respect what you built
42:25I'll protect it
42:26But only on my terms
42:28I love Kate
42:29She's part of my future
42:31And I see that now
42:32If I do this
42:33It won't be to preserve the past
42:36It'll be to build something better
42:37Then build it
42:39But don't lose yourself in the process
42:43Your life belongs to you now, Alex
42:46So
42:55What did you decide
42:57I said yes
42:58But I told him this time
43:01I'm not choosing between love and family
43:03Just make sure they know that
43:05And make sure they mean it
43:07Your father's agenda
43:16From the last six months
43:18Thank you
43:18I'll take it from here
43:20Kate, I'm sorry
43:27Give me an hour
43:28And I'll call you back, okay?
43:30It's okay
43:30I understand
43:31I meant it when I said
43:33I wouldn't let them get between us
43:34And
43:35I'm not asking you to choose
43:37I'm asking you to show up
43:39What exactly am I being paid for?
43:47To forget us all
43:48And to forget Greece
43:50Maybe I was just the exception
43:53Until the rules started playing again
43:55Six months in Paris
44:00It's the life I wanted before any of this
44:03Funny how the thing I wanted the most
44:07Still wants me back
44:08This time
44:11I need to choose myself
44:13You know we could have stayed in Athens longer
44:32It didn't feel right
44:33I wanted us to say goodbye to this place too
44:36You got the offer
44:36To know you
44:37Six months in Paris
44:39You're stepping into your world
44:41I need to figure out what to do with mine
44:42We'll make it work
44:44I want us to, Alex
44:45But I can't keep putting my life on pause
44:48And I'm not asking you to
44:50Just asking you to find a way together
44:53Are you sure you don't want me to drive you?
44:58It's better if I go alone
45:00Even if we're not together every day for a while
45:03You're still the person I want to build the rest of my life with
45:06I know we're strong
45:13I just hope we don't forget how to come back
45:28Hey
45:33How's Paris treating you today?
45:36Busy
45:36Beautiful
45:38They want to feature my work in an opening preview
45:42That's huge, Kate
45:43It feels like a dream
45:44But it still feels better when I hear your voice
45:47I miss you
45:49I booked a flight for Friday
45:51And again next week
45:52I'm not going to let distance come between us
45:54You're flying out here?
45:56Every weekend I can
45:57I'm not good at long distance
45:59But I'll do everything I can to be there
46:01Are you making the effort?
46:03That's what matters to me
46:05Hey mom, what's up?
46:12Alex, you need to come to the hospital now
46:14It's your father
46:15Was the funeral how you wouldn't want it?
46:30He hated long speeches
46:32I kept it short
46:33Just like he did with his praise
46:35Now his name's on the marble wall
46:38And I'm expected to fill the space he left behind
46:41He always trusted you
46:43Even when he didn't say it
46:44I'll do everything I can to honor his legacy
46:47But I'm not him
46:48And I hope people would stop expecting me to be
46:51You don't have to do it his way
46:53You just have to lead
46:55Like yourself
46:56If they still think I'm his weakness
47:17They've clearly underestimated both of us
47:20You push this through without consensus
47:26No, I push this through because it's delivering 50% growth month over month
47:30New markets, new partnerships
47:32That's how we move ahead
47:34Leo wouldn't have
47:36My father is in here
47:37And I'm not here to imitate him
47:38We build upon my father's legacy
47:41But the world is changing
47:42Either we keep up or get replaced
47:45You just closed the biggest deal in years
47:48Why do you look so lost?
47:50Kate should have been here
47:51Alex, I spent my entire life guarding your name
47:55But after your father, I see it means nothing without love
47:59I don't want to lose her, Mom
48:02Then give her more than a place in your heart
48:05Let's help her build something here
48:07Something that's truly hers
48:15The space looks beautiful
48:22Thank you
48:23I still can't believe this is really happening
48:25Well, the space is all yours for however long you want
48:29You can stay in Athens if you want
48:32That's generous
48:33And a lot
48:34But I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel right
48:37Well, you don't have to decide now
48:39But I see how steady you make him feel
48:42And he needs that
48:43And maybe I need a place
48:45That I can grow and still be with him
48:47Maybe this is it
48:49Let's make this quick
48:51We need to leave in 20 minutes
48:53To get to Kate's gallery opening
48:54We've got bigger problem
48:55Eleanor's contracts are a mess
48:57And the press is circling
48:58If we don't get ahead of it
48:59This will land on your desk
49:01I gave my word
49:02Then consider what your absence here then
49:04Says about your priorities
49:05Then let's fix it
49:12You said you'd come
49:27I looked for you all day
49:29I know, I'm sorry
49:30The board dropped a mess in my lap
49:31And missing this
49:33It's the last time I make that mistake
49:34This isn't about this
49:35It's about you showing me I'm not alone here
49:37Kate, you're not alone
49:38Not now
49:39Not ever
49:40Will you marry me, Kate?
49:44Yes
49:45Yes
49:46Kate, are you okay?
49:54Yes, it's just a wave of something
49:56I need to sit down
49:58Really taking that old mug with you?
50:10It's the one I use every morning here
50:12It kind of feels like
50:13It holds more than coffee now
50:15Are you okay?
50:16You seem very skeptical
50:18I'm just tired
50:19Trying not to think too much
50:20Maybe try thinking out loud with me
50:23Maybe later, okay?
50:24Okay
50:24I'm sure you're okay
50:54Kate.
51:09Oh, Brendan.
51:12Are you okay?
51:16I don't know.
51:19I'm just scared of what this might mean for us, for everything.
51:23Hey, it means we start something new, together.
51:28I keep thinking of everything we've been through.
51:31All the noise, the pressure.
51:33What if it all starts again?
51:35Then we shut it out.
51:37We don't need to prove anything to anyone anymore.
51:41You really think we can start a family without letting all the old stuff get in the way?
51:46We won't follow their rules.
51:47We'll make our own.
51:48No matter what happens now, you're not doing this alone.
51:55This is really happening.
52:08Finally.
52:09No chaos, no cameras, no George Ropolis drama.
52:12Just us, Lena, and the sea.
52:15And a few nosy neighbors, maybe.
52:16Exactly.
52:18The wedding I never knew I wanted.
52:23You two survived secrets, scandals, and at least three people who tried to sabotage this.
52:30So let's keep the drama and get to the good part.
52:32Also, I'm only legally ordained because of a dare and too much wine.
52:38That sounds about right.
52:39If either of you objects, blink twice now so I can run.
52:44Not blinking.
52:45Great.
52:46Then by the power of Estes and me, by the internet and questionable life choices,
52:51I now pronounce you very brave.
52:55Or possibly just in love.
52:58I choose you every day, no matter where the story tastes.
53:03So let's write it again.
53:04Do you think they'll believe we really do this?
53:18They'll see it in everything we build next.
53:24But I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel right.
53:28So let's write it again.
