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.
01:22Don't you think we are in the first place?
01:23Don't you think we're in the first place.

21:45the kind that sends assistants

21:47you weren't exactly
21:48answering our calls
21:49now
21:51if you want to act like a man

21:57an official succession plan
21:59we all signed it this morning
22:02well you forged my name to 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 would 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
24:38was just dropped off
24:40at the estate
24:41just to 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
24:56forwarded 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
25:05ends up protected
25:06she's not protected
25:07she's strategic
25:09how unhinged
25:10is she?
25:17the timing
25:18makes this impossible
25:19she's bluffing
25:20and desperate
25:21I passed Mark
25:25on the hallway
25:25what happened?
25:27a letter she sent
25:28to my father
25:28and the board
25:29and she slipped
25:31this in
25:31like it proves
25:33anything
25:34wait
25:34she's pregnant
25:35that's what she
25:36wants people to think
25:37but I know
25:38it's not mine
25:38the math
25:39doesn't add up
25:40and she sends that
25:41instead of saying
25:42a word
25:42that's the point
25:43she doesn't want to talk
25:44she wanted leverage
25:45then what now?

26:02when this is over
26:05I'm done
26:06for good
26:07no more strings
26:09no more secrets

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
26:46is calculated
26:46you're using a child
26:48as a pawn
26:48I'm not
26:49but you think my timing
26:50changes what it is?
26:51yes it does
26:52you walk away from me now
26:55you are not walking away clean
26:56I don't know
26:57who you are anymore
26:58I'm the mother
26:59of your child
27:01then you better be
27:02for their sake
27:13this 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 she 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 who's still got a hold on her
28:11let's see how committed she is
28:15wait, 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

29:51tell me about it
29:52if I were to ask you
29:53something straight
29:54would you be honest?
29:55depends on what the questions are
29:57you've always been loyal
29:58to my father
29:59but you're not blind
30:00so tell me something
30:01I don't know
30:02because something about
30:04this whole Lena thing
30:05doesn't add up
30:06Alex I
30:08can't
30:09really talk
30:12about it right now
30:13not while she's here
30:16she's here?
30:19then can you meet me tomorrow
30:20somewhere she doesn't know
30:22you pick the place
30:23okay?
30:25okay
30:25if he finds out
30:37he won't be the only one
30:39who goes down
30:40where are you, Marco?
30:48where 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
31:38that I was pushing him away
31:40but he is here, Kate
31:41and you knew exactly
31:42where 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
32:29caught cheating
32:30while ex-fiance expecting
32:31they don't even pretend
32:33to 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
32:41sit
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
33:08naming 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
33:41you 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 any of this
33:53is 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?
33:59or someone else's baby?
34:01maybe
34:01but she's still using every second
34:03to twist the truth
34:04I need to see this
34:07now
34:08what is it?
34:09I passed the floor
34:09it's 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
34:22this wasn't planned
34:23Elena's the reason
34:25my 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
34:37that 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
35:02your family tried to buy me off
35:24dig into my past
35:25like I'm some threat
35:26to your future
35:27they're afraid of you
35:29because you don't want
35:30anything from them
35:31that makes you dangerous
35:32and I'm done protecting
35:34their fears
35:34maybe it's time
35:35we hit back with our own story
35:37on our terms
35:38you really think
35:39we can win against them?
35:40only if we start playing nice
35:42are you coming to the house?
35:55you should have called first
35:56I figured surprises
35:57were your thing
35:58this isn't how civilized people
36:01handle conflict
36:02neither is hiring investigators
36:04or sending bribes and 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
36:19won't be a schemer
36:20will be your son
36:20you're very bold
36:22miss Miller
36:22that's the polite way to say
36:24you 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
36:54will 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
37:15how 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?
37:22then don't say it out loud
37:25unless you are really sure
37:28paternity 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 erected
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
38:03hey
38:13we need to talk
38:14I need the truth
38:15hi 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
38:34and 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
38:44at least you 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
39:08guess 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 effective 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?
40:09Leo?
40:10someone help!
40:12Leo!
40:19he is 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 room of hands
41:13it 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
41:52but 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
42:13I 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
42:46Alex
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
43:26I'm sorry
43:27give me an hour
43:28and I'll call you back
43:29okay
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 start applying 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
44:36didn't you?
44:38six months in Paris
44:39you're stepping into your world
44:41I need to figure out
44:42what 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?
44:59it's better if I go alone
45:00even if we're not together
45:02every day for a while
45:03you're still the person
45:04I want to build the rest of my life
45:05I know we're strong
45:13I just hope we don't forget
45:15how to come back
45:15hey
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
45:59I'll do everything I can to be there
46:01you making the effort
46:03that's what matters to me
46:05hey mom, what's up?
46:11Alex, 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
46:39I'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
46:46to 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
47:28because it's delivering 50% growth
47:29month over month
47:30new markets
47:31new 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
47:43or 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
47:54guarding your name
47:55but
47:55after your father
47:57I see it means nothing without love
47:59I don't want to lose her, Mom
48:02then give her more
48:03than 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
48:27for 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
48:46and 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
49:36I'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
50:24maybe later, okay?
50:25maybe later
50:26okay?
50:27maybe later
50:28okay?
51:00Kate.
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 you start something new, together.
51:26I 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.
51:39You 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.
51:51No 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.
52:17Exactly.
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.
53:02So let's write it again.
53:09Do you think they'll believe we really do this?
53:18They'll see it in everything we build next.
53:25But I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel right.
53:28So let's get started.
