00:00:00My mentor, 2,000 years, and you have an age today.
00:00:06I only got to follow you for a few decades, and now, death's at my door.
00:00:18Grandpa, please.
00:00:19You're too sick to be out here in this weather.
00:00:22Whoever's coming can wait.
00:00:23Your health comes first.
00:00:26No, Dad, she's right.
00:00:28We should take you to the hospital.
00:00:30I'm fine.
00:00:31Go inside, all of you.
00:00:40He's here.
00:01:11A few years have been buying a blink, huh?
00:01:14I forgot how much time passed.
00:01:17Time catches up to everyone, except you.
00:01:21So, who are you these days, my friend?
00:01:24Keep it easy.
00:01:25Part-time swim coach.
00:01:31Sorry.
00:01:34You're done.
00:01:36You tell me, Charles, what is it you want from me?
00:01:42You can always see right through me.
00:01:45After following you for 50 years, consider this my last request.
00:01:51After I'm gone, please take care of my family for the next three years.
00:02:03Deal.
00:02:05But three years after that, the students are on their own.
00:02:08Thank you, Mr. Lancaster.
00:02:09Of course.
00:02:10What do you tell me, Charles?
00:02:11How do you expect me to fit in with them?
00:02:13Don't worry.
00:02:14I'm a friend.
00:02:18Hey.
00:02:19What's going on?
00:02:20Are you okay?
00:02:21Hold on a minute.
00:02:22Elaine, I need you to...
00:02:23I want to introduce you to somebody.
00:02:25This is Silas Lancaster.
00:02:27And, um, starting tonight, he's your husband.
00:02:33Grandpa, what are you talking about?
00:02:35I don't even know this guy, and I'm already in love with someone else.
00:02:38Dad?
00:02:40What the hell are you talking about?
00:02:41Who is this man?
00:02:42Mr. Lancaster is a respected college swimming coach,
00:02:46and a far better man than whoever Elaine thinks she's in love with.
00:02:51Mom.
00:02:52Dad, please.
00:02:53I don't want to marry some stranger.
00:02:56If anyone dares to object,
00:02:58I will freeze every Sterling account.
00:03:02And I will go to my grave knowing that my family filled me.
00:03:08Elaine, don't be selfish.
00:03:11Do as your grandfather asks.
00:03:13He knows what's best.
00:03:14She's right, sweetheart.
00:03:15I'll arrange a marriage score.
00:03:18Don't worry, Dad.
00:03:20I'll wake it up.
00:03:26All right, Grandpa.
00:03:28I'll marry him.
00:03:31It's the only way to make sure Mr. Lancaster
00:03:34watches over my family and our legacy
00:03:37for the next three years.
00:03:45Grandpa!
00:03:46Grandpa!
00:03:48Oh my God!
00:03:52Plan's simple.
00:03:53We hit the expensive equipment first.
00:03:55Destroy all of it.
00:03:57We're here to put the Sterling facility
00:03:58out of condition for good.
00:04:00Understand?
00:04:01Gather, boss.
00:04:02Good, let's go.
00:04:11What the hell are you?
00:04:12Get the book out of here!
00:04:14Get on over here.
00:04:36Run!
00:04:38Run!
00:04:39Run!
00:04:40Run!
00:04:42Run!
00:04:56Where the hell are you?
00:04:57Uh, Sterling Factory in Jersey.
00:04:59Why?
00:05:00What are you even doing there?
00:05:02Okay, never mind.
00:05:03Get to Club Pulse in Soho.
00:05:05You've got 10 minutes.
00:05:0810 minutes?
00:05:09Don't get in cabin time.
00:05:11Not my problem.
00:05:12Figure it out.
00:05:16Well?
00:05:17What did the old ball and chain say?
00:05:20He said sure, of course.
00:05:22Nice.
00:05:23Alright, game on.
00:05:2610 minutes.
00:05:27If Mr. Wifey doesn't show, then you're buying drinks.
00:05:31If he does, we are.
00:05:33Well then I hope you brought your black card.
00:05:37Elaine, come on.
00:05:39Silas is your husband.
00:05:40Do you think you're being a bit harsh?
00:05:43He brought it on himself.
00:05:44Since grandpa died three years ago, I have given him so many chances to walk away, but
00:05:50he refuses to divorce me.
00:05:52So fine.
00:05:53If he wants to stay that badly, he can stay.
00:05:55It's like having my own personal lap dog.
00:05:59Honestly, even calling him that is generous.
00:06:01He teaches swim lessons.
00:06:03Perp.
00:06:06He actually approaches a D1 program.
00:06:09They're going to be going to Nashville.
00:06:10The point is you are Elaine Sterling, heirs to the Sterling Empire.
00:06:15You're running the thing.
00:06:17Holy shit.
00:06:19Tristan is coming back into town in three days.
00:06:23You're Prince Charming is coming home.
00:06:26I bet you're excited.
00:06:27Come on.
00:06:28Gabriel, I'm married.
00:06:30You guys were the it couple in college.
00:06:33After your grandpa forced you to marry Silas, his family shipped him off so he could run
00:06:37the Italian office.
00:06:38But now that he's back, you should dump your useless stray mutt of a husband.
00:06:46Ten seconds and still no sign of old yeller.
00:06:53Guess you're losing this one.
00:07:00Oh, Gabriel.
00:07:08Damn, Elaine.
00:07:09You really trained him well.
00:07:13You called.
00:07:14Everything okay?
00:07:15Are you blind?
00:07:17I'm perfectly fine.
00:07:19Well, you called, so what's up?
00:07:23If you are that desperate to come to my rescue, my shoes are dirty.
00:07:28Clean them.
00:07:31What, are you too good for that?
00:07:33I mean, if you can't handle something as simple as this, what good are you to me anyway, Silas?
00:07:43Please, take care of my family for the next three years.
00:07:54Oh, come on.
00:07:56Elaine and I were just playing a little game called Dog Whistle.
00:08:01We bet that no matter where you were, if she called you, you would show up straight away like a
00:08:07good boy.
00:08:08I gotta say, you didn't disappoint.
00:08:11Seriously, there's so much traffic right now.
00:08:13How'd you get here?
00:08:14You have wings or something?
00:08:22You called me.
00:08:23I thought you were in trouble.
00:08:25About yours behind my back, calling me a dumb chud to your friends.
00:08:28That's right.
00:08:29Okay.
00:08:31Wait, are you, like, pissed or something?
00:08:34Oh, because I am just getting started.
00:08:52Well, if you hate it that much, then you can leave.
00:08:55I am not stopping you.
00:08:57That!
00:08:57I won't even pay you enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life.
00:09:02You know, if you have any ounce of pride left in your body, take the deal and get the hell
00:09:09out of my life.
00:09:12If I hadn't promised your grandfather I'd take care of your family for three years, I'd have walked away a
00:09:17long time ago.
00:09:18Whatever.
00:09:19Only three days left.
00:09:21The time's up.
00:09:22The Sterlings will never see me again.
00:09:24Hey, freeloader.
00:09:25Elaine is talking to you.
00:09:27Or do you need her permission to speak, too?
00:09:36It's getting late.
00:09:37We have a meeting tomorrow.
00:09:38Come on, let me, uh, let me drive you home.
00:09:43Man, Elaine just humiliated you in front of everyone.
00:09:47And you're still willing to be her personal Uber?
00:09:50Talk about desperate.
00:09:52I guess that's the secret to being a kept man.
00:09:55No shame.
00:09:56No spine.
00:09:59Thanks, but I'll get home myself.
00:10:09Elaine didn't mean to humiliate you.
00:10:12She's just, she's got a temper.
00:10:14That's all.
00:10:15Try not to take it to heart.
00:10:19Didn't mean to humiliate me.
00:10:22Whatever.
00:10:23Three more days.
00:10:24Then none of this will matter.
00:10:27He's a, he's a monster.
00:10:29Good thing he didn't come after us or we'd all be dead for sure.
00:10:32That guy, no, that thing, he's a human.
00:10:36He's a fucking demon.
00:10:37Makes sense.
00:10:39John Star is no gun.
00:10:40John's useless.
00:10:41He's hurt or spoiled.
00:10:43But yet they still own the fucking world's medicine scavenage.
00:10:47Ah, I guess now we know why.
00:10:48They've got something in room and going to the fucking empire.
00:10:52Let's get the hell out of the fucking New York tonight.
00:10:54I'm not running to the fucking freak ever again.
00:11:00You're back.
00:11:01Come sit down.
00:11:09Where the hell have you been?
00:11:11It's already late and dinner's not even ready.
00:11:14Did you want us to starve?
00:11:16I was out picking up Elaine and have my own things to do.
00:11:19If you guys are hungry, you can have the maid pick you up something.
00:11:22You gotta wait for me.
00:11:24Excuse me.
00:11:25We let you live here, eat our food, and now you don't even want to cook?
00:11:30You really are ungrateful.
00:11:32You know that?
00:11:33They can't stand the maid's cooking.
00:11:35So be useful for once and start getting dinner ready, Silas.
00:11:44What if I don't?
00:11:46What if one day I don't come back?
00:11:47Would you all just sit at the table waiting to be fed?
00:11:53Don't come back?
00:11:55What is that supposed to mean?
00:11:58What's that supposed to mean?
00:11:59Are you so tired of cooking that you're trying to pick a fight with me, Silas?
00:12:05Forget about it.
00:12:08Well then get in there and start cooking.
00:12:12Don't make me say it twice.
00:12:19Oh, Elaine, you have that meeting with Mr. Whitmore tomorrow.
00:12:23What are the odds that you land that Hudson Yards deal?
00:12:27We're still a few steps behind our competitors.
00:12:30But I'll do everything I can.
00:12:33You need to land this deal, sweetheart.
00:12:36The business depends on it.
00:12:40Your father just cares about golf.
00:12:43Silas is completely useless.
00:12:46You're all we've got.
00:12:47I know, Mom.
00:12:50Tristan's back in town, you know.
00:12:52And you have that meeting with his uncle tomorrow?
00:12:55Perfect timing.
00:12:57Give him a call.
00:12:58I know you two are so into each other in school.
00:13:02I'm sure he'd help.
00:13:08You need to land this deal, sweetheart.
00:13:11The business depends on it.
00:13:23Can't sleep?
00:13:24If I'm keeping you up, you can always take the couch.
00:13:27Don't worry about Hudson Yards.
00:13:29Alright?
00:13:30Don't overthink it.
00:13:33Yeah, like you know anything about business?
00:13:35It's not as simple as frying an egg.
00:13:53Hello?
00:13:54Elaine. I'm outside.
00:14:12I couldn't wait to see you.
00:14:14It's...
00:14:14It's been too long.
00:14:19Wait, I thought you weren't coming back for another three days.
00:14:24I mean, that's what I told everyone, but of course, you're not everyone.
00:14:28I couldn't go another day without seeing you.
00:14:32Tristan, I'm sorry, but...
00:14:34I'm married.
00:14:36I know. It's, uh...
00:14:39Silas, who's this stray dog that you picked up?
00:14:42But now that I'm back, you can cancel this joke wedding and...
00:14:45And Elaine?
00:14:47Will you marry me?
00:14:50Tristan, I'm glad that you're back, but this is too much. Too soon.
00:14:58Of course, it's...
00:14:59I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.
00:15:02Look, you can take your time and honestly just seeing you tonight...
00:15:05I mean, that was enough for me.
00:15:08Goodnight.
00:15:09Okay.
00:15:11Tristan.
00:15:13Yeah?
00:15:14I have a meeting with your Uncle Mark tomorrow about the Hudson Yards project.
00:15:18Is there any chance you can put in a good word for me?
00:15:22Help me land the deal?
00:15:24I can help you out. No worries.
00:15:27Tristan, if I can pull this deal off, I will owe you. Big time.
00:15:31Look, look, look. I can handle it, okay?
00:15:33It just... it's freezing cold out here and I really don't want you to catch a cold.
00:15:36So, you should probably go back inside. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
00:15:41Okay.
00:15:56I can sleep. I'll have some high tea might help.
00:16:01Wait.
00:16:03Are you really not gonna ask where I was just now?
00:16:06Can you tell me if I did?
00:16:07You know, since we got married, you've done everything for me.
00:16:12Never had a bad temper, never complained.
00:16:15You're just a good man.
00:16:18Kind and gentle.
00:16:20But I need you to understand something.
00:16:23Even if you spent another decade by my side, nothing is ever gonna happen between us.
00:16:30Kind and gentle is just another way of saying weak.
00:16:34Get some rest.
00:16:36It's late.
00:16:45Hello?
00:16:46Hi, Uncle Mark.
00:16:47Uh...
00:16:47I know it's late, but...
00:16:49I need a favor.
00:16:50Hudson Yards.
00:16:52Look, I'm gonna stop you right there.
00:16:54That deal is done.
00:16:55We're going with a company that was strongly recommended by our biggest investor.
00:17:00Stay out of it.
00:17:01Got it?
00:17:17Mr. Whitmore, I know that Sterling Group isn't the most obvious choice for the Hudson Yards project.
00:17:23But if you give us a shot, I will personally oversee every detail and I promise you we will exceed
00:17:31your expectations.
00:17:36Don't worry, Miss Sterling.
00:17:39Hudson Yards is yours.
00:17:44Contract's already drawn up.
00:17:45Just sign it and we're good to go.
00:17:47Mr. Whitmore, you don't even want to look at our proposal?
00:17:50Don't need to.
00:17:50Someone I trust vouch for Sterling Group personally.
00:17:54I have complete faith.
00:17:57Here.
00:18:01Who will exactly vouch for us?
00:18:04Let's just say it's someone who is very close to you.
00:18:10It had to be Tristan.
00:18:12It had to be Tristan.
00:18:14Thank you, Mr. Whitmore.
00:18:16We will not let you down.
00:18:18I am sure you won't.
00:18:28Hey.
00:18:29Sir.
00:18:30I followed your instructions to the letter, Mr. Lancaster.
00:18:34Mrs. Sterling, she just signed the contract.
00:18:36Great.
00:18:37I'll be a big time, Mark.
00:18:39Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:18:40I'm...
00:18:40I'm happy that I was able to help.
00:18:43If there's anything else you need, just say the word.
00:18:48Hey, look, I'm so sorry.
00:18:49Tristan, we got the Hudson Yards project.
00:18:51It is all thanks to you.
00:18:53You're a lifesaver.
00:18:55Wait.
00:18:56Uncle Mark said that the project had already been assigned.
00:18:59Did he change his mind to do me a favor?
00:19:01Yeah.
00:19:02No big deal.
00:19:03I mean, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters.
00:19:06Can I get you lunch?
00:19:08No.
00:19:08After everything you've done, I owe you this one.
00:19:21Oh, my cheeks feel hot.
00:19:24I think I've had too much.
00:19:26Really, I mean, I think you look gorgeous.
00:19:28I mean, as always.
00:19:30You know, I remember when we were in college.
00:19:32Everyone used to say that we were so good together.
00:19:36I think if I'd never left for London, then we would've even had kids or something by now.
00:19:42Three years is long enough to change everything.
00:19:51Why didn't you tell me when the contract had left?
00:19:54I've been waiting here for six, seven hours.
00:19:58I'm having lunch with a friend, so you can just go, okay?
00:20:02Are you even drinking?
00:20:03God, will you drop it already? I am hanging out...
00:20:07No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:20:08This must be Silas, right?
00:20:11Yeah, I'm Tristan Whitmore.
00:20:14Elaine's ex-boyfriend.
00:20:16Elaine's ex?
00:20:17You know, I know that I left and she had to settle for someone else, but now that I'm back...
00:20:23We should probably just walk away.
00:20:25Before things get ugly, of course.
00:20:27Okay.
00:20:28Silas, don't read into this.
00:20:30I'm treating Tristan to lunch.
00:20:32Because he helped me land the Hudson Yards deal and...
00:20:35We had a little bit too much to drink.
00:20:37I'll be home soon.
00:20:41You crossed the line, Tristan.
00:20:43Okay, look, I'm sorry, right?
00:20:46But I hate seeing you with that guy when you could be with me.
00:20:49I mean, you're way out of his league.
00:20:51Come on.
00:20:52Forget it, I should go.
00:20:54I'm just gonna get an oopie.
00:20:55Elaine, please.
00:20:56Look, I got all this wonderful sushi and we have this wonderful sake.
00:21:00Let's at least have one last cheers, yeah?
00:21:02One more drink, okay?
00:21:03And then we're gonna toast it.
00:21:08Sound good?
00:21:10Cheers.
00:21:12To us.
00:21:14And to our past.
00:21:25I should go.
00:21:27It's...
00:21:27It's good.
00:21:28Wait, hey, hey, hey.
00:21:30Hey!
00:21:31Elaine!
00:21:32Are you okay?
00:21:33I think I trained you.
00:21:35Okay, look, look, look.
00:21:36Just last night.
00:21:37Yeah?
00:21:45I'm leaving you.
00:21:47You're even more beautiful than I remember.
00:21:49I never stopped mourning you.
00:21:51No, Tristan, stop.
00:21:52I'm married.
00:21:56I can't resist you.
00:21:59Tristan, stop.
00:22:00Stop!
00:22:01I want to be with you, yeah?
00:22:03I want to be with...
00:22:04I want us to be together.
00:22:05Don't.
00:22:06Don't.
00:22:06Silas.
00:22:07Together, our feelings will be the most powerful in the city.
00:22:11No, don't.
00:22:12No!
00:22:13No!
00:22:22Silas?
00:22:23No!
00:22:24He actually fights?
00:22:26Oh my...
00:22:27Hey!
00:22:27No!
00:22:28Silas!
00:22:28Silas, stop!
00:22:29Leave him alone.
00:22:31So, you're Silas, huh?
00:22:33The loser who has been leeching off of her for years?
00:22:37Well, you know, now that you hit me, I'm not finished.
00:22:40Quick!
00:22:44Silas, apologize to Tristan now.
00:22:48Silas, apologize to Tristan now.
00:22:51Silas, apologize to Tristan now.
00:23:03I'm sorry.
00:23:07Good boy.
00:23:09You know, I'm gonna slide this down.
00:23:12Just for Wayne's sake.
00:23:15Okay?
00:23:16Look, I'm so sorry about earlier.
00:23:18I was drunk, okay?
00:23:19It was my mistake.
00:23:20I didn't hurt you right.
00:23:21Look, I'm sorry.
00:23:22It was my fault.
00:23:22It was my fault.
00:23:23Okay, it's fine.
00:23:25Look, it's late.
00:23:26We should just go.
00:23:27We'll talk later, right?
00:23:29Can I talk to you later?
00:23:46Elaine, how did it go with Mr. Whitmore?
00:23:49Did you get the Hudson Yards project?
00:23:51Judging by that look, I'm guessing not.
00:23:57What?
00:23:59What?
00:23:59Wow.
00:24:01That fast?
00:24:03It feels like this usually takes weeks to negotiate.
00:24:06Well, Tristan talked to his uncle.
00:24:10He really went out of his way to vouch for us.
00:24:12Of course, Tristan.
00:24:15There's one person who knows how to get things done.
00:24:19Unlike some people who just mooch off others and never do anything useful.
00:24:24Ever.
00:24:26You think Tristan got you Hudson Yards?
00:24:34What?
00:24:35So if it wasn't Tristan, then who was it?
00:24:37You?
00:24:41Go make us dinner.
00:24:43Can't you see that we're starving?
00:24:57I get why you're upset, but I appreciate you keeping your cool back at the restaurant.
00:25:03If you'd hit Tristan, things would have gotten a lot worse.
00:25:06You're thanking me for not hitting him.
00:25:08He tried to rape you, but since you think he got you the deal, you're gonna...
00:25:11Let it slide?
00:25:13You're overreacting.
00:25:14You're overreacting.
00:25:14Tristan was drunk.
00:25:15He didn't mean it.
00:25:18And...
00:25:19You have no idea how important this deal is for Sterling Group.
00:25:24Tristan was the only one who could help.
00:25:27Just...
00:25:27Just try to understand, okay?
00:25:29You think Tristan Whitmore got you the deal?
00:25:32Tristan might be a Whitmore, but his uncle sure as hell did not give him a seven-figure contract
00:25:38because his nephew asked nicely.
00:25:41Okay.
00:25:42Well, then who vouched for us?
00:25:44I don't know.
00:25:45Took anybody.
00:25:46But it sure as hell was a Tristan Whitmore.
00:25:50Look, you don't need to be jealous of Tristan.
00:25:54We're married, for God's sake.
00:25:56I'd never cross that line.
00:25:58Look, Elena, you need to grow up.
00:25:59Your grandfather started this company for nothing.
00:26:01Don't be the one to ruin his legs.
00:26:10Ruin it?
00:26:11Are you kidding me?
00:26:12I am the reason that Sterling Group is thriving.
00:26:15You, on the other hand, are just a house husband living off of my family.
00:26:21But now you think that you can lecture me?
00:26:24You've really forgotten your place, haven't you?
00:26:28I mean, I protected you too much.
00:26:31Because you are still just a spoiled princess who never had to face reality.
00:26:36Call me spoiled all you want, but you protect me.
00:26:41Really?
00:26:43Driving me around.
00:26:45Cooking.
00:26:46Driving.
00:26:47Waiting around for me.
00:26:48That is not protection.
00:26:49That's pathetic.
00:26:52Tomorrow, my promise to you, Grandfather Eddance.
00:26:55The time you finally learned the truth.
00:26:57Look, I've been holding your family together for three years now.
00:27:00You think Sterling Group's doing well because of you?
00:27:03No.
00:27:04Without me, you guys would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.
00:27:11How I guess Tristan really got under your skin, huh?
00:27:16You're actually saying that Sterling Group would fall apart without you.
00:27:20I'm just telling you the truth.
00:27:22Watch your tone with Elaine, or I'll throw you out of this house.
00:27:27Just kick him out.
00:27:28I mean, a man who lives off his wife has no room to mouth off.
00:27:31Mom.
00:27:32Dad, please.
00:27:33Silas was just... upset.
00:27:36Don't offend him, dear.
00:27:38You fulfilled your grandpa's last wish.
00:27:41Been married for three years now.
00:27:43It's time you file for divorce.
00:27:46Exactly.
00:27:47It's time for you to dump this loose.
00:27:50All right, Silas, listen.
00:27:52You crossed the line.
00:27:55But...
00:27:56I am generous enough to give you another chance.
00:28:01Say you're sorry.
00:28:03And we'll forget this happened.
00:28:06You want me to apologize?
00:28:09Yes.
00:28:10What, do you have a problem with that?
00:28:12You heard her.
00:28:14Apologize.
00:28:15Now.
00:28:18I'm losing my patience here, Silas.
00:28:21This is your last chance.
00:28:26And if I don't?
00:28:28Then we're done.
00:28:29You're out of the Sterling family for good.
00:28:33You hear that?
00:28:34If you don't apologize, you're out.
00:28:37So get to it.
00:28:43Then we're done.
00:28:44Let's get a divorce.
00:28:46What?
00:28:49What did you just say?
00:28:51Marriage court is closed by now, but we'll go tomorrow morning.
00:28:54Get the papers signed down.
00:28:58Did I hear that right?
00:29:01Silas wants to divorce you?
00:29:03Oh, thank God.
00:29:06You could do so much better than him, sweetheart.
00:29:08But what if Silas changes his mind?
00:29:11We know how obsessed he is with Elaine.
00:29:14And then we've dragged him to court ourselves.
00:29:16This divorce is happening tomorrow.
00:29:18Don't forget.
00:29:19It was his idea.
00:29:21Even if he changes his mind, I'm not forgiving him this time.
00:29:25Let's forget that loser.
00:29:27Well, if no one's cooking, looks like we're going out.
00:29:30Why don't you choose?
00:29:32I'm not hungry.
00:29:33You guys go ahead.
00:29:35Mm-hm.
00:29:36Mm-hm.
00:29:36Mm-hm.
00:29:36Mm-hm.
00:29:59Mm-hm.
00:30:01Honey?
00:30:03What now?
00:30:05Look.
00:30:08Silas?
00:30:09Had to be. We were out. He was the only one here.
00:30:13I told you he was bluffing. If he really wanted a divorce, he wouldn't go around cleaning like some maid.
00:30:19Unless he wants us to look like the bad guys or something.
00:30:23If he apologizes to you tomorrow, maybe you should think about taking it back.
00:30:31Been working on that Hudson Yards deal for a while now. Need some rest.
00:30:36Here. Want a massage?
00:30:39I knew it. Now he's trying to butter me up.
00:30:44Fine.
00:30:49Now that it's just the two of us, say you're sorry and we can pretend like this divorce BS never
00:30:55happened.
00:31:00Hey, I'm talking to you.
00:31:03Yelani?
00:31:07Get some rest.
00:31:10Still bluffing?
00:31:13Let's see how you act at the courthouse tomorrow.
00:31:33Goodbye, Yelani.
00:31:36But today our deal ends. From now on, the Sterlings are on their own.
00:31:40Let's go.
00:32:05How you doing, old friend?
00:32:07I've been protecting Elaine and the family for three years now.
00:32:10But after today, that deal ends.
00:32:13After this, they are on their own.
00:32:27Silas was up before sunrise making all this.
00:32:30Does this look like a man that's getting ready for a divorce?
00:32:33Maybe we keep him around for a little while.
00:32:36I've gotten used to his cooking after all.
00:32:42I've thought it over, Silas.
00:32:44I'll give you another chance.
00:32:46Sit down.
00:32:47Join us.
00:32:49I already ate.
00:32:50When you guys finish, we'll go to the courthouse and send divorce papers.
00:32:55What?
00:32:58Okay, that is enough.
00:33:00Silas, I am sick of this attitude of yours.
00:33:04I'll wait in the car.
00:33:09Unbelievable.
00:33:10Elaine gives him another chance and he just walks out.
00:33:13What does he think?
00:33:14He has options?
00:33:15Divorce him, sweetheart.
00:33:17He's asking for it.
00:33:18It just might work out.
00:33:20I mean, once you're divorced, maybe you and Tristan can get back together.
00:33:24Whatever his game is, I'm calling his bluff.
00:33:31Wait.
00:33:32Stand it first.
00:33:33And then we'll go in.
00:33:41You better not regret this.
00:33:54I thought he was bluffing.
00:33:56But he really went through with it.
00:33:58And didn't even ask for a single cent.
00:34:01Oh, this car belongs to the Sterling, so, uh, that's real.
00:34:11Oh, my God.
00:34:13I just realized.
00:34:15Three years and Silas never really owned a single thing.
00:34:20Even his car wasn't really his.
00:34:23It was just there to drive me around.
00:34:25All right.
00:34:27That's it, then.
00:34:29Goodbye for good.
00:34:40So, what did I even mean to him?
00:34:42Why bother marrying me at all?
00:34:45What the hell?
00:34:46Goodbye for good?
00:34:48What is that, some lame attempt to make me feel guilty?
00:34:51Sad?
00:34:53Well, screw you, because I am not falling for it.
00:35:06He threw this away?
00:35:09Did I really not mean anything to him?
00:35:14Where's Silas?
00:35:17So, is it official?
00:35:20You two are actually divorced?
00:35:22He didn't make a scene and beg you to forgive him?
00:35:27No.
00:35:29It was quick.
00:35:30Too quick.
00:35:32That's wonderful, sweetheart.
00:35:33You're finally free.
00:35:35It's a new beginning.
00:35:36We should go celebrate you finally getting rid of that dead weight.
00:35:40I think I just need to focus on work more.
00:35:43I'm going to the office this afternoon.
00:35:45The Hudson Yards project is already underway.
00:35:48That's my girl.
00:35:50Strong as ever.
00:35:51The worst can't get you down.
00:35:57She doesn't look happy.
00:35:59Do you think it's because of Silas?
00:36:02Honestly, I think it's normal.
00:36:03You can get attached to anything after three years.
00:36:05Even a mangy mutt.
00:36:07It's just habit.
00:36:08Not love.
00:36:09True.
00:36:10Silas was useless.
00:36:12But he did take care of Elaine.
00:36:15I just think she's not used to being alone.
00:36:17She never really loved him anyway.
00:36:19Just give it a few days.
00:36:21Oh.
00:36:22Tristan came back to town.
00:36:23Once he hears that Elaine is divorced,
00:36:26I'm sure he'll come running.
00:36:27That'll cheer her up.
00:36:49Thanks.
00:36:50Megan Palmer.
00:36:53Crews out with child...
00:36:56lotus友...
00:36:57I'm watching for the edge
00:36:58I feel as though I'm falling
00:37:01But I ain't falling yet
00:37:04I hold it in
00:37:06I push it out
00:37:08I breathe again
00:37:13Silas
00:37:14There's not a single trace of you left in the house
00:37:19Is this on purpose?
00:37:20Is this your way of punishing me by erasing yourself from my life?
00:37:27Fall and rise
00:37:30I am brave
00:37:33Just to breathe again
00:37:38Gone
00:37:41Everything's gone
00:37:46Silas
00:37:47You think that ghosting me
00:37:48Makes you the winner?
00:37:50I don't ever want to see your face again
00:38:01We're throwing you a fresh dark fiesta
00:38:03To celebrate your divorce
00:38:04We're at Tristan's house
00:38:05Get over here
00:38:06No Rebecca, I'm not really in the room
00:38:09Hello?
00:38:28Elaine, congrats!
00:38:30I mean, freedoms never looked so good on you
00:38:41Thanks
00:38:48What's up with Elaine?
00:38:49I thought she was into you
00:38:52Look, we just
00:38:54We just had a little misunderstanding
00:38:55Last time I saw her
00:38:56I think
00:38:57She might still be mad
00:38:59Well
00:39:00She's single again
00:39:01Golden opportunity like this
00:39:03Doesn't fall into your lap everyday
00:39:05Don't screw it up
00:39:06I won't let it slip this time
00:39:15Fiona can't make it
00:39:16We're swamped with exams
00:39:19She told us to take care of Elaine without her
00:39:23Let's start
00:39:25Elaine
00:39:26Today's all about you
00:39:28Come on, say something
00:39:30What's it like being single again?
00:39:34What's it like being single again?
00:39:38I... don't really feel anything
00:39:42I... don't really feel anything
00:39:44It's all good
00:39:46Just say whatever comes to mind, Elaine
00:39:48Yeah
00:39:49We know the past three years sucked for you
00:39:51So now that you finally got rid of that loser Silas
00:39:54You must have something to say
00:39:59These last three years have been rough
00:40:03You all know that my grandfather chose Silas
00:40:07Not me
00:40:09I thought that when we finally got divorced I'd be happy
00:40:12And you are now, right?
00:40:15No
00:40:17We signed the papers ten hours ago
00:40:20And I'm not happy at all
00:40:21Like not even a little
00:40:23Seriously?
00:40:24Don't tell me you regret filing for divorce
00:40:28Regretting?
00:40:28Of course not
00:40:29I mean the divorce is exactly what I wanted
00:40:32I just don't understand why I'm not happy
00:40:37Maybe Silas spoiled you
00:40:39I mean he was waiting on you hand and foot
00:40:41And for him to just suddenly be gone
00:40:43Like that's probably weird
00:40:44Yeah like I was obsessed with you
00:40:46I bet he's crying his eyes out now
00:40:50I'm not so sure about that
00:40:52Because he vanished completely
00:40:54Didn't leave a single trace behind
00:40:56Well there's one way to find out
00:40:59Let's play
00:41:01Dog whistle
00:41:08That's perfect
00:41:09Okay Elaine
00:41:10Hold on
00:41:11We're kind of far from the city
00:41:12So let's give him say 15 minutes to get here
00:41:15Okay
00:41:16Come on guys
00:41:17I am divorced now
00:41:19Elaine
00:41:20It's a phone call
00:41:21Besides he loved it
00:41:23That guy showed up right on cue every time
00:41:25Every time really?
00:41:27It's too far
00:41:2815 minutes is impossible
00:41:31Okay let's just call it a night
00:41:33But thank you guys for the party
00:41:36What's going on?
00:41:37Are you scared he won't show up this time?
00:41:40Come on Elaine
00:41:41Don't be such a buzz kill
00:41:43I mean we're just trying to have some fun
00:41:45Come on
00:41:46I mean don't you want to see if your little laptop still comes on your command?
00:41:52Fine
00:41:59Your call has been forwarded to voicemail
00:42:07Did he actually block you?
00:42:11Silas
00:42:11What are you doing?
00:42:14No there is no way that Silas would block Elaine
00:42:16He's probably playing some game with her to get her attention
00:42:21Exactly
00:42:21That loser is sneakier than he looks
00:42:24He's probably just trying to mess with your head
00:42:26He's not worth thinking about
00:42:28I just want to know what his game is
00:42:32Can you call him from your phone?
00:42:34Tell him he has 15 minutes to get here
00:42:37And if he does I might give him a second chance
00:42:42Wait
00:42:43So you're saying you're going to give him another chance?
00:42:46Relax man
00:42:46We're just making fun of that idiot Silas
00:43:02Oh maybe he didn't block Elaine
00:43:06He just got rid of his number
00:43:08Wait you guys don't think that he's so heartbroken over Elaine
00:43:11That he would be suicidal
00:43:16I mean think about it
00:43:18Elaine he was crazy about you
00:43:20You divorced him out of nowhere
00:43:22What if he can't handle life without you?
00:43:24Really I mean like
00:43:25Okay he's pathetic
00:43:27But is he that pathetic?
00:43:29Obsession makes people do crazy things
00:43:30Elaine was basically his only reason for living
00:43:36Okay
00:43:37Silas apologize to Tristan now
00:43:39Then we're done
00:43:40You are out of the Sterling family for good
00:43:44So that's it then
00:43:46Goodbye for good
00:43:50Oh hey hey
00:43:51Hey Helen are you okay?
00:43:52My chest hurts
00:43:54I'm calling 911
00:43:55No no no no no I'll be okay
00:43:57Wait wait wait everybody back up
00:43:58Give her air
00:44:01Jesus
00:44:02You don't really think that Silas would hurt himself right?
00:44:06I mean he may be pathetic but we were still together for three years
00:44:10I don't want anything to happen to him
00:44:12Can one of you guys go to his place?
00:44:15Where is it?
00:44:18I...
00:44:19Don't know
00:44:23He owned a loft before we got married
00:44:25Maybe check there
00:44:26We barely know the guy Elaine
00:44:28I mean
00:44:28You're the one who was married to him for three years
00:44:31You seriously don't know where he lived?
00:44:34I guess not
00:44:36You never went to his place?
00:44:39No
00:44:39Never
00:44:43Wait you guys were married for three years
00:44:45And you never went to his house?
00:44:47Look
00:44:48Silas he probably lives like in some cabin out in the woods somewhere
00:44:52I mean why should Elaine trek out into the wilderness?
00:44:55Well everyone knows it was a fake marriage anyway
00:44:58Elaine does he have any friends or family we could contact?
00:45:02No I never met any of his friends
00:45:04Let alone his family
00:45:08For three years
00:45:10Silas took care of everything
00:45:12What I ate
00:45:13What I wore
00:45:14Where I slept
00:45:15But I never bothered to learn anything about his life?
00:45:20He got a big settlement in the divorce right?
00:45:22Maybe his info is on the paperwork
00:45:23He left with nothing
00:45:24He even returned to the car then he drove around it
00:45:28Wait...
00:45:28So then what was he after?
00:45:32Elaine of course
00:45:33She's gorgeous
00:45:35She's smart
00:45:36She's sexy
00:45:37I mean what guy wouldn't want to be with her?
00:45:39No way man
00:45:40Everyone knows that they didn't even share a bed
00:45:47Alright!
00:45:48Let's forget about Silas
00:45:50And let's just have some fun
00:45:51Yeah?
00:45:52Get yourself a drink
00:45:54No!
00:45:55I'm going to find him
00:46:02Silas used to wait here for me after work
00:46:14Silas always helps me shop here
00:46:25Silas, where are you?
00:46:27Just tell me what game you're playing
00:46:29Thanks for keeping it so
00:46:36Can you do me a huge favour?
00:46:50What's up?

00:47:07I've actually got plans too tonight
00:47:08I forgot
00:47:12You know
00:47:12I'm the captain of the swim team
00:47:14I could
00:47:16Coach you
00:47:17If you guys
00:47:19One on one
00:47:20Yeah?
00:47:25Who the hell are you?
00:47:26Can't you see I'm busy?
00:47:28Can't you see I'm busy?
00:47:29Yeah so
00:47:29Coach Smith is out today
00:47:31How about your sub?
00:47:32Coach Lancaster
00:47:33Is that
00:47:34Elaine's
00:47:35Ex-husband?
00:47:36He coaches college swimming part time?
00:47:39You
00:47:39Coach me
00:47:41That's hilarious
00:47:42It is?
00:47:43Why is that?
00:47:44You really think you can teach me anything about swimming?
00:47:46I'm the captain of the god damn swim team
00:47:53I'm the captain of the god damn swim team
00:47:53Look I don't care if you're the champion of the tenium
00:47:56While I'm here
00:47:58Listen to me
00:47:58He doesn't seem as spineless as Elaine said
00:48:01Why are you so cocky?
00:48:03You're just a substitute
00:48:04You really think you can teach me anything about swimming?
00:48:07I promise you I am more than qualified to be your coach
00:48:10Don't gotta question that
00:48:11Okay
00:48:11Coach qualified
00:48:13You think you can handle a little challenge?
00:48:16Challenge?
00:48:17What are you thinking?
00:48:18A race
00:48:19You beat me?
00:48:21I'll admit you're good enough to coach us
00:48:23Sure
00:48:23Sounds good
00:48:24Let's do it
00:48:25Oh
00:48:27Not so fast
00:48:28If you lose
00:48:29You have to strip naked
00:48:30And bark like a dog
00:48:32You still feel ready?
00:48:35Bradley's not just the captain
00:48:37He's training for the Olympics
00:48:39The guy's a bullet in the water
00:48:42Most coaches wouldn't last a lap against him
00:48:45Bradley, Coach Lancaster's our sub today
00:48:47Show him some respect
00:48:48This is between us, Fiona
00:48:50Stay out of it
00:48:51Coach Lancaster
00:48:52You don't have to take the challenge
00:48:54No, it's fine
00:48:56I haven't swum in ages
00:48:58I can use a stretch
00:49:00Let's get to it
00:49:03Oh no
00:49:04He's asking for trouble
00:49:06Did the divorce really hit him that hard?
00:49:08Bradley, come on, Adam
00:49:09Let's go Bradley
00:49:10Lock him, lock him, lock him
00:49:12Come on
00:49:13Alright, tough guy
00:49:15You've got stones
00:49:16I'll give you that
00:49:18100 meter freestyle
00:49:19Right here
00:49:20Right here
00:49:21Right now
00:49:26Wow, those abs
00:49:29Okay
00:49:30Definitely didn't see those coming
00:49:31Hey old man
00:49:32Haven't worked out in ages, huh?
00:49:34Why don't you just quit now?
00:49:36We don't want you drowning in the pool
00:49:38Okay
00:49:4050 meters down
00:49:4150 back
00:49:42The first to touch the wall wins
00:49:44Alright, Coach Lancaster
00:49:46We got this
00:49:47Come on
00:49:49The last time I swam across the Pacific was
00:49:52What?
00:49:52500 years ago?
00:49:54I kind of missed that
00:49:59Oh my gosh
00:50:00No
00:50:00It's so funny
00:50:01Stop
00:50:02Stop
00:50:03Stop
00:50:03Stop
00:50:03Stop
00:50:04Stop
00:50:04Stop
00:50:04Stop
00:50:15Why is it freezing all of a sudden?
00:50:26There's a shark!
00:50:27There's a fucking shark!
00:50:31A shark?
00:50:39Coach Lancaster touches first!
00:50:41Bradley bailed halfway!
00:50:42The race goes to the coach!
00:50:44Let's go, coach!
00:50:51I saw a fucking shark!
00:50:55Shark!
00:50:56Shark!
00:50:56Shark!
00:50:58I guess we're gonna need a bigger pool!
00:51:01Sorry, Bradley.
00:51:02No one saw anything weird.
00:51:04Really doubling down on this whole shark sighting?
00:51:07Am I seeing things?
00:51:09God, I've got to be lazy.
00:51:11Too much damn stress.
00:51:12I'm a 500-meter butterfly.
00:51:14I could be a 400-meter headstruck.
00:51:16Do you think it's unfair?
00:51:22No.
00:51:23No.
00:51:23I'm just...
00:51:24I'm off my dad.
00:51:25You...
00:51:26You win.
00:51:30Bradley's been acting like he owns the whole damn pool because his dad's on the board and he's swim captain.
00:51:35It's always creepy young girls.
00:51:36What's that?
00:51:37I'm glad someone finally knocked him down a notch.
00:51:52Girl
00:51:55Girl
00:51:57Admit it, you have a thing for Coach Lancaster
00:52:00No, that's not true
00:52:02I do not
00:52:03It's not true
00:52:07I swear
00:52:08Don't look at me like that
00:52:16Alright guys, good practice today
00:52:19Have a good one and uh
00:52:27Coach Lancaster
00:52:28Wait, you really don't remember me?
00:52:31Should I?
00:52:33I mean, we've met a few times
00:52:35I'm Fiona Ashford
00:52:37Elaine's best friend
00:52:39Yeah, yeah, that's right
00:52:41Um, did you, did you need something?
00:52:45No
00:52:47Great, have a good day
00:52:52How can someone be so clueless about women?
00:52:55It's driving me nuts
00:52:59Ow
00:53:03Hey, Fiona, are you okay?
00:53:06My stomach, it hurts
00:53:10It hurts right here
00:53:11Abs feel hard and tight
00:53:13How do you know?
00:53:15It's an abdominal muscle spasm
00:53:16It happens when you don't warm up properly before swimming
00:53:19Great
00:53:20Student health center's probably closed by now
00:53:23Don't worry, I can
00:53:24Then call an ambulance
00:53:25No way, I'll pass out before it ever gets here
00:53:30Well, I know something that might help
00:53:32But
00:53:33You gotta trust me
00:53:34You can take this pain away?
00:53:36What are you
00:53:36You know, sports medicine or something?
00:53:40Not exactly
00:53:41It's just a truth I picked up from an old dealer
00:53:46Or I can go to the ambulance
00:53:47No, no, okay, please just, just help me
00:53:51Okay
00:53:55Here, lie down
00:53:59And lift your shirt up
00:54:02I need to see your stomach
00:54:04It's okay, Fiona
00:54:05You can trust me
00:54:12It might hurt a little bit
00:54:13But just try to relax and keep your ass closed
00:54:16Alright?
00:54:39Should be all good to go
00:54:40Oh my god
00:54:43My pain is totally gone
00:54:44How did you
00:54:47Wait a minute
00:54:49I want to
00:54:51You are?
00:54:56That old healer you talk about
00:54:59It's Mr. Miyagi, isn't it?
00:55:02God, you are unreal, Coach Lancaster
00:55:05I mean, is there anything that you can't do?
00:55:08Well, when you live long enough
00:55:13Anyways
00:55:15Just warm up properly
00:55:16Some dry clothes
00:55:17Only if you finish swimming
00:55:18And it should be good
00:55:21I'll be more diligent
00:55:22I promise
00:55:24Well, I uh
00:55:25Because I should be going good
00:55:28Wait
00:55:29Are you going to be running next swim practice too?
00:55:33Yeah
00:55:34Yeah
00:55:34Yeah, looks like it
00:55:36Um
00:55:37Do you maybe want to get lunch after?
00:55:40My treat
00:55:41Just
00:55:42A little way
