00:00I'm looking for hidden gems.
00:02Be careful. I'm from here.
00:04Could show you a few spots.
00:06Then you must owe me lunch.
00:08Get in, Alexandros.
00:10You will lose everything over this.
00:12Your name, your position.
00:14They run the country pretty much.
00:16That's who I just had breakfast with?
00:18I was supposed to take over. Elena was part of the plan.
00:20And what am I? You're the first thing I've ever chosen for myself.
00:22You walk away from me now.
00:24You are not walking away clean.
00:26Wait, she's pregnant?
00:28Something about this whole Elena thing doesn't add up.
00:30Your father's concerned.
00:32There's been talk about that girl.
00:34You will marry Elena.
00:36She fits the life you were born with.
00:38Well, if she won't leave on her own,
00:40it will help her out.
00:42Is that what they think I am?
00:44A passing storm?
00:46She's just trying to scare you.
00:48The only reason any of this is happening is because of Elena.
00:50Then stop letting her win.
00:52Whatever Elena started, all ended.
00:54What exactly am I being paid for?
00:56To forget us all and to forget Greece.
00:58You can't buy me off. You're ignoring my text, huh?
01:00Are you stalking me?
01:02People who care, I get their business to know.
01:04I can't run the company anymore, Alex.
01:06It's your turn to lead.
01:08I never wanted the crown.
01:09I'll respect what you built.
01:10I'll protect it.
01:11But only on my terms.
01:12I love Kate.
01:13She's part of my future.
01:14You really think we can win against them?
01:16Only if we stop playing nice.
01:18Either we keep up or get replaced.
01:20I'm just scared of what this might mean for us.
01:23No matter what happens now.
01:25You're not doing this alone.
01:27a different point.
01:28You're not doing this alone.
01:29But only on my terms.
01:30I'm not doing this alone.
01:31I'm not doing this alone.
01:33Hey, careful.
01:34Oh, my god.
01:35You just saved me a thousand euros.
01:37Then you must owe me lunch.

23:55that's her choice
23:56not yours

25:00it's already been forwarded to legal
25:02she's playing hardball now
25:04and what

25:05you ask for honesty
25:07i'm just delivering it
25:08she lies
25:09slanders
25:10and yet she still ends up protected
25:11she's not protected
25:12she's strategic
25:14how unhinged is she
25:16the timing makes this impossible
25:24she's bluffing
25:25and desperate
25:26i passed mark on the whole day
25:31what happened
25:32a letter she sent to my father
25:33and the board
25:34and she slipped this in
25:36like it proves anything
25:39wait
25:39she's pregnant
25:40that's what she wants people to think
25:42but i know it's not mine
25:43the math doesn't add up
25:45and she sends that instead of saying a word
25:47that's the point
25:48she doesn't want to talk
25:49she wanted leverage
25:50then what now
25:52just give me time
25:53i'll prove it
25:54and then i'm done
25:54it's quiet out here
26:03like the rest of the world
26:05just doesn't exist
26:06that's why i brought you here
26:07when this is over

27:25i didn't follow you to fix things
27:36i just need you to know i'm not choosing her
27:37i know you're not
27:39but you're still caught between worlds alex
27:41you didn't build the trap
27:43but you're still sitting in it
27:44and i'm trying to tear it down every day
27:46then do it
27:47but stop acting like i'm the reason you might or might not
27:50i'm just afraid if i don't act fast enough
27:51she'll trap me in it
27:53and if she already has

31:37he was about to kiss you yesterday
31:39what kiss are you talking about

31:45but he is here kate
31:46and you knew exactly where to find you
31:47that doesn't just happen
31:48you think i planned this
31:50i don't know what to think anymore
31:59thank you

32:06where did you get that
32:07it came with your flowers
32:09alex i didn't send it i swear
32:10i don't even remember that photo
32:12well someone does
32:14maybe this is all a mistake from the beginning
32:24one crack that's all it takes
32:29i don't even pretend to ask if it's true
32:39is your name in there too
32:40i should have seen it coming
32:42they want me gone
32:43then don't leave
32:45let them choke in their own mess
32:52sit
32:53let's keep it civil shall we
32:56the doctors told me
32:58i have to take it easy
33:00stress at my age isn't exactly
33:02harmless
33:03then stop fueling it
33:04you and mom both
33:06the board wants clarity
33:09i think i've lost control
33:12so i'm considering naming a successor
33:14you're asking me to choose between the life i want and the life you've chosen
33:19that's not clarity
33:20that's blackmail
33:21i'm asking you to think
33:24because once this is done there's no undoing it
33:28and don't forget
33:30elena has been loyal to us
33:32why would you say that
33:34because you're not the only candidate
33:36especially when she's carrying the next generation of our family
33:48you haven't looked at me since we got back to athens
33:51i'm trying to fix this and clear our names
33:53maybe the easiest fix is still for me to go
33:55kate please don't say that the only reason any of this is happening is because of elena
33:59then stop letting her win
34:01do you really think i believe she's pregnant
34:03what if it's staged or someone else's baby
34:06maybe but you're still using every second to twist the truth
34:11you need to see this now what is it
34:13i passed the florist in black or someone dropped this i grabbed it before they could
34:22your mom sent it she wanted you to think i lied
34:26tell me again this wasn't planned
34:29elena is the reason my mother is acting like this
34:32she wants you gone she's using everyone to do it
34:35then let's make sure she's the one who disappears
34:39they tried to break us
34:41and if i hadn't opened that envelope maybe they would have
34:44whatever elena started all ended
34:46we leave tomorrow let's go back to mykonos just us
34:59because that's what it says
35:06i'm sorry
35:20i'm sorry
35:22Your family tried to buy me off.
35:30Dig into my past like I'm some threat to your future.
35:33They're afraid of you, because you don't want anything from them.
35:36That makes you dangerous.
35:38And I'm done protecting their fears.
35:40Maybe it's time we hit back with our own story.
35:42On our terms.
35:44You really think we can win against them?
35:45Only if we stop playing nice.
35:52Are you coming to the house?
36:00You should have called first.
36:01I figured surprise is where you think.
36:04This isn't how civilized people handle conflict.
36:08Neither is hiring investigators or sending bribes in envelopes, but here we are.
36:12If you think you're intimidating me...
36:14I'm not here to scare you, just to warn you.
36:17A threat.
36:18A fact.
36:19You tried to ruin my relationship, you failed.
36:22Keep pushing, and the next thing you'll lose won't be a schemer, it will be your son.
36:26You're very bold, Miss Miller.
36:27That's the polite way to say you underestimated me.
36:34No records, no scandal, just some love letters.
36:46I won't need your services anymore.
36:47Oh, well.
36:57Sooner or later, Eleanor will sort something out.
37:00I assumed I would see you eventually.
37:09Because of theatrics.
37:11Why'd you send the flowers?
37:12I didn't send flowers.
37:14I sent a warning.
37:15You used Kate's pass as a weapon.
37:17You really want her gone that badly?
37:19Can't you just see how incompatible she is in our world?
37:23And what about Elena?
37:24You really think she belongs?
37:25What if her baby isn't mine?
37:28Then don't say it out loud, unless you are really sure.
37:35Paternity test?
37:37You really think she'd fake something like this?
37:39Yes, I do.
37:41Be careful, Alex.
37:42Accusing her means accusing the whole family.
37:45Or trusting her.
37:46Do it quietly.
37:52And don't bring shame on the family, unless you're sure she hurt it.
38:01She picked the battlefield.
38:03Now I have to fight on her terms.
38:06Now we see how far she's really willing to go.
38:08Hey, we need to talk.
38:19I need the truth.
38:22Hey, Alex.
38:23You're putting me in an impossible situation.
38:25No, Elena has.
38:26Look, Alex, after you left, she was a wreck.
38:30She started calling, dropping by.
38:33And one night she kissed me, and I didn't stop it.
38:37I thought it would blow over, but it didn't.
38:39And when she said she was pregnant, did you do the math?
38:42Look, I don't know if I'm the father.
38:44I know there may be a chance, but I know I should have told you sooner.
38:49At least you didn't lie to my face.
38:59He's treating me like a liar.
39:01He wants a paternity test.
39:05You'll let him humiliate me like that?
39:07After everything I've done for this family?
39:09You need to rest, Elena.
39:12The stress isn't good for you.
39:21Guess that test just became pointless.
39:26There's no coming back from this.
39:28Even for her.
39:28We've reviewed everything.
39:33Your messages, the clinical records you never disclosed.
39:37You went through my private medical files.
39:39You dragged our name into the press.
39:42And just to protect your position, not the family.
39:45Marco has been fired.
39:47You're leaving the company effective immediately.
39:50You can't be serious.
39:51We're done being embarrassed.
39:53Please leave.
39:54I'm glad she chose to leave the country in the end.
40:03Maybe she was never meant for this.
40:07Then who is?
40:11Leo?
40:14Leo?
40:15Someone help!
40:17Leo!
40:17He's stable for now.
40:26But we need to keep him under observation.
40:32You care about him?
40:34Of course I do.
40:35Then understand this.
40:37We've all made choices we later may be regretted.
40:40But no one in this family has acted with malice.
40:45And yet it costs you almost everything.
40:47Then be better than we are.
40:49That's the plan.
41:06They always said the succession would be clear.
41:09Yeah, but he didn't say if Alex wants it.
41:11It doesn't matter what he wants anymore.
41:14The company needs a future.
41:16And this can't fall into the wrong hands.
41:19It has to be Alex.
41:21There is no one else.
41:31Mom, you said something in that meeting about the company.
41:34I said what your father should have said years ago.
41:37Do you really think it's the right time?
41:38No one is ever ready.
41:40But you've done what most people wouldn't dare.
41:43You stood up for your life.
41:45I didn't do any of it alone.
41:46I know.
41:47You made him stronger.
41:49Thank you for staying.
41:50We made each other stronger.
41:52And you didn't just stay.
41:53You fought.
41:54He's worth it.
41:55I spent my life guarding our family status.
41:58But you two are building something real.
42:01Then help us protect it.
42:03He's awake.
42:04And he asks for you.
42:06I can't run the company anymore, Alex.
42:19It's your turn to lead.
42:20I never wanted the crown.
42:23Nobody ever does.
42:25Not if they're decent.
42:27Or smart.
42:28Like you.
42:29I respect what you built.
42:30I'll protect it.
42:31But only on my terms.
42:33I love Kate.
42:34She's part of my future.
42:36And I see that now.
42:37If I do this,
42:39it won't be to preserve the past.
42:41It'll be to build something better.
42:42Then build it.
42:45But don't lose yourself in the process.
42:49Your life belongs to you now, Alex.
42:51So, what did you decide?
43:03I said yes.
43:05But I told him this time,
43:06I'm not choosing between love and family.
43:09Just make sure they know that.
43:11And make sure they mean it.
43:12Your father's agenda
43:21from the last six months.
43:24I'll take it from here.
43:30Kate, I'm sorry.
43:32Give me an hour
43:33and I'll call you back, okay?
43:35It's okay.
43:36I understand.
43:37I meant it when I said
43:38I wouldn't let them get between us.
43:39And that includes his company.
43:41I'm not asking you to choose.
43:42I'm asking you to show up.
43:50What exactly am I being paid for?
43:52To forget us all
43:53and to forget Greece.
43:56Maybe I was just the exception
43:58until the rules started applying again.
44:04Six months in Paris.
44:06It's the life I wanted
44:07before any of this.
44:09Funny how the thing
44:11I wanted the most
44:12still wants me back.
44:15This time,
44:17I need to choose myself.
44:18You know we could have stayed
44:36in Athens longer.
44:37It didn't feel right.
44:39I wanted us to say goodbye
44:40to this place, too.
44:41You got the offer.
44:42Didn't you?
44:43Six months in Paris.
44:44You're stepping into your world.
44:46I need to figure out
44:47what to do with mine.
44:47We'll make it work.
44:49I want us to, Alex.
44:51But I can't keep
44:52putting my life on pause.
44:53And I'm not asking you to.
44:56Just asking you
44:57to find a way together.
45:02Are you sure you don't want me
45:03to drive you?
45:04It's better if I go alone.
45:05Even if we're not together
45:07every day for a while,
45:09you're still the person
45:09I want to build
45:10the rest of my life with.
45:17I know we're strong.
45:18I just hope we don't forget
45:20how to come back.
45:20I know we're still living in Paris.
45:38Hey.
45:39How's Paris treating you today?
45:41Busy.
45:42Beautiful.
45:44They want to feature my work
45:45in an opening preview.
45:46you. That's huge, Kate. It feels like a dream. But it still feels better when I hear your
45:52voice. I miss you. I booked a flight for Friday and again next week. I'm not going to let
45:58distance come between us. You're flying out here? Every weekend I can. I'm not good at
46:03long distance, but I'll do everything I can to be there. You're making the effort. That's
46:09what matters to me. Hey, Mom, what's up? Alex, you need to come to the hospital now. It's
46:20your father. Was the funeral how you wouldn't want it? He hated long speeches. I kept it
46:38short, just like he did with his praise. Now his name's on the marble wall, and I'm expected
46:45to fill the space he left behind. He always trusted you, even when he didn't say it. I'll
46:50do everything I can to honor his legacy, but I'm not him, and I hope people would stop expecting
46:55you to be. You don't have to do it his way. You just have to lead, like yourself.
47:08If they still think I'm his weakness, they've clearly underestimated both of us.
47:29You push this through without consensus. No, I push this through because it's delivering 50%
47:34growth month over month. New markets, new partnerships. That's how we move ahead.
47:40Leo wouldn't have. My father is in here, and I'm not here to imitate him. We build upon my
47:45father's legacy, but the world is changing. Either we keep up or get replaced.
47:51You just closed the biggest deal in years. Why do you look so lost?
47:55Kate should have been here. Alex, I spent my entire life guarding your name,
48:00but after your father, I see it means nothing without love.
48:06I don't want to lose her, Mom. Then give her more than a place in your heart.
48:10Let's help her build something here. Something that's truly hers.
48:14The space looks beautiful. Thank you. I still can't believe this is really happening.
48:31Well, the space is all yours for however long you want. You can stay in Athens if you want.
48:37That's generous, and a lot. But I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel right.
48:42Well, you don't have to decide now, but I see how steady you make him feel, and he needs that.
48:48And maybe I need a place that I can grow and still be with him. Maybe this is it.
48:55Let's make this quick. We need to leave in 20 minutes to get to Kate's gallery opening.
48:59We've got bigger problems. Eleanor's contracts are a mess, and the press is circling.
49:03If we don't get ahead of it, this will land on your desk.
49:06I gave my word.
49:07Then consider what your absence here, then, says about your priorities.
49:10Then let's fix it.
49:31You said you'd come. I looked for you all day.
49:34I know. I'm sorry. The board dropped a mess in my lap, and missing this, it's the last time I make that mistake.
49:39This isn't about this. It's about you showing me I'm not alone here.
49:42Kate, you're not alone. Not now. Not ever.
49:47Will you marry me, Kate?
49:49Yes. Yes.
49:51Kate, are you okay?
49:59Yes, it's just a wave of something. I need to sit down.
50:04Okay.
50:13Are you really taking that old mug with you?
50:15It's the one I use every morning here. It kind of feels like it holds more than coffee now.
50:20Are you okay? You seem very skeptical.
50:23I'm just tired. I'm trying not to think too much.
50:26Maybe try thinking out loud with me.
50:28Maybe later, okay?
50:29I'm going to let you go.
50:41I'm going to let you go.
50:47Kate.
51:13Oh, Brendan.
51:17Are you okay?
51:21I don't know.
51:24I'm just scared of what this might mean for us, for everything.
51:28Hey, it means we start something new, together.
51:33I keep thinking of everything we've been through.
51:36All the noise, the pressure.
51:38What if it all starts again?
51:40Then we shut it out.
51:42We don't need to prove anything to anyone anymore.
51:44You really think we can start a family without letting all the old stuff get in the way?
51:51We won't follow their rules.
51:52We'll make our own.
51:56No matter what happens now, you're not doing this alone.
51:59This is really happening.
52:13Finally.
52:14No chaos, no cameras, no Giotopolis drama.
52:17Just us, Lena, and the scene.
52:20And a few nosy neighbors, maybe.
52:23Exactly.
52:23The wedding I never knew I wanted.
52:25You two survived secrets, scandals, and at least three people who tried to sabotage this.
52:35So let's keep the drama and get to the good part.
52:37Also, I'm only legally ordained because of a dare and too much wine.
52:43That sounds about right.
52:44If either of you objects, blink twice now so I can run.
52:49Not blinking.
52:50Great.
52:51Then by the power of investors and me, by the internet and questionable life choices,
52:56I now pronounce you very brave.
53:00Or possibly just in love.
53:03I choose you every day, no matter where the story tastes.
53:07So let's try it again.
53:09I think they'll believe we really did it.
53:23They'll see it in everything we build next.
