00:00:01My mentor. Two thousand years. And you have an age today.
00:00:07I only got to follow you for a few decades and now...
00:00:13Death's at my door.
00:00:18Grandpa. Grandpa, please.
00:00:20You're too sick to be out here in this weather.
00:00:22Whoever's coming can wait. Your health comes first.
00:00:27No. Dad, she's right. We should take you to the hospital.
00:00:30I'm fine. Go inside. All of you.
00:00:40He's here.
00:00:58No!
00:01:00Oh!
00:01:12A few years been buying a blink, huh?
00:01:15Yeah.
00:01:16I forgot how much time passed.
00:01:17Time catches up to everyone. Except you.
00:01:21So, who are you these days? No fun?
00:01:25Keepin' it easy. Part-time swim coach.
00:01:29Oh, so am I.
00:01:35You're done.
00:01:36You tell me Charles now.
00:01:38What is it you want from me?
00:01:42You can always see right through me.
00:01:46After following you for 50 years, consider this my last request.
00:01:52After I'm gone, please take care of my family for the next three years.
00:02:03No.
00:02:04No.
00:02:05But three years.
00:02:07After that, the students are on their own.
00:02:08Thank you, Mr. Lancaster.
00:02:10Of course.
00:02:11What do they tell me, Charles? How do you expect me to fit in with them?
00:02:13Don't worry.
00:02:15I'm fine.
00:02:19Hey!
00:02:20What's going on? Are you okay?
00:02:22I'm fine.
00:02:22Elaine, I need you.
00:02:23I want to introduce you to somebody.
00:02:25This is Silas Lancaster.
00:02:28And, um, starting tonight,
00:02:31he'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.
00:02:39Dad?
00:02:40What the hell are you talking about?
00:02:42Who is this man?
00:02:43Mr. 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, Dad, please. I don't want to marry some stranger.
00:02:56If anyone dares to object, I will freeze every Sterling account.
00:03:03And I will go to my grave knowing that my family failed me.
00:03:09Elaine, don't be selfish.
00:03:12Do as your grandfather asks. He knows what's best.
00:03:14She's right, sweetheart.
00:03:16I'll arrange a marriage score.
00:03:19Don't worry, Dad.
00:03:20Don't wake it up.
00:03:27Alright, Grandpa.
00:03:29I'll marry him.
00:03:32It'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.
00:03:52Plan is simple.
00:03:54We hit the expensive equipment first.
00:03:56Destroy all of it.
00:03:57We're here to put the Sterling facility out of commission for good.
00:04:01Understand?
00:04:02Gathered, boss.
00:04:03Good, let's go.
00:04:11What the hell are you?
00:04:13Get the fuck out of here!
00:04:15Get on over here.
00:04:23Oh!
00:04:24Nice!
00:04:31Ah!
00:04:35He's a fucking monster!
00:04:38Run!
00:04:39Ah!
00:04:40Ah!
00:04:42Ah!
00:04:47Ah!
00:04:48Ah!
00:04:49Ah!
00:04:50Ah!
00:04:50Ah!
00:04:50Ah!
00:04:51Ah!
00:04:53Ah!
00:04:54Ah!
00:04:55Ah!
00:04:57Ah!
00:04:57Where the hell are you?
00:04:58Ah!
00:04:58Sterling factory in Jersey.
00:05:00Why?
00:05:00What are you even doing there?
00:05:02Okay, never mind.
00:05:03Get to Club Pulse in Soho.
00:05:06You've got ten minutes.
00:05:09Ten minutes?
00:05:10Don't get in cabin time.
00:05:11Not my problem.
00:05:13Figure it out.
00:05:16Well?
00:05:18What did the old ball in chain say?
00:05:20He said sure.
00:05:22Of course.
00:05:23Nice!
00:05:24Nice!
00:05:24Alright.
00:05:25Game on.
00:05:27Ten minutes.
00:05:28Mr. Wifey doesn't show.
00:05:30Then you're buying drinks.
00:05:32If he does, we are.
00:05:34Well then I hope you brought your black card.
00:05:38Elaine, come on.
00:05:39Silas is your husband.
00:05:41Do 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 he refuses to
00:05:51divorce me.
00:05:52So fine.
00:05:53If he wants to stay that badly, he can stay.
00:05:56It's like having my own personal lap dog.
00:05:59Honestly, even calling him that is generous.
00:06:02He teaches swim lessons.
00:06:04Perf.
00:06:07He actually approaches a D1 program.
00:06:09They're going to be going to nationalists.
00:06:11The point is you are Elaine Sterling, heirs to the Sterling Empire.
00:06:16You're running the thing.
00:06:18Holy shit!
00:06:19Tristan is coming back into town in three days!
00:06:24Your Prince Charming is coming home.
00:06:26I bet you're excited.
00:06:28Come on.
00:06:29Gabriel, I'm married.
00:06:31You guys were the it couple in college.
00:06:34After your grandpa forced you to marry Silas, his family shipped him off so he could run the Italian office.
00:06:39But now that he's back, you should dump your useless stray mutt of a husband.
00:06:47Ten seconds and still no sign of old yeller.
00:06:54Guess you're losing this one.
00:07:00Oh. Gabriel.
00:07:08Damn, Elaine. You really trained him well.
00:07:13You called. Everything okay?
00:07:16Are you blind? I'm perfectly fine.
00:07:19Well, you called, so...
00:07:21What's up?
00:07:23If you are that desperate to come to my rescue...
00:07:27My shoes are dirty.
00:07:29Clean them.
00:07:32What, are you too good for that?
00:07:34I mean, if you can't handle something as simple as this...
00:07:37How good are you to me anyway, Silas?
00:07:43Please, take care of my family for the next three years.
00:07:53Oh, come on.
00:07:57Elaine and I were just playing a little game called Dog Whistle.
00:08:02We bet that no matter where you were, if she called you, you would show up straight away like a
00:08:08good boy.
00:08:09I gotta say, you didn't disappoint us.
00:08:11Seriously, there's so much traffic right now. How'd you get here? You have wings or something?
00:08:23You called me. I thought you were in trouble.
00:08:25About years behind my back calling me a dumb chud to your friends?
00:08:29That's right.
00:08:30Okay.
00:08:32Wait, are you like pissed or something?
00:08:34Oh, because I...
00:08:37I'm just getting started.
00:08:53Well, if you hate it that much, then you can leave. I am not stopping you.
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
00:09:10out 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
00:09:18long time ago.
00:09:19Whatever. Only three days left.
00:09:21The time's up and the Sterlings would never see me again.
00:09:24Hey, freeloader. Elaine is talking to you.
00:09:27Or do you need her permission to speak, too?
00:09:36It's getting late. We'll meet you tomorrow. Come on, let me, uh, let me drive you home.
00:09:43Man.
00:09:45Elaine just humiliated you in front of everyone and you're still willing to be her personal Uber?
00:09:51Talk about desperate.
00:09:52I guess that's the secret to being a kept man. No shame. No spine.
00:10:00Thanks, but I'll get home myself.
00:10:10Elaine didn't mean to humiliate you. She's just, she's got a temper. That's all. Try not to take it to
00:10:16heart.
00:10:20You didn't mean to humiliate me.
00:10:23Whatever. Three more days. And none of this will matter.
00:10:27He's a, he's a monster.
00:10:30Good thing he didn't come after us or we'd all be dead for sure.
00:10:33That guy. No. That thing. He's a human. He's a fucking demon.
00:10:38It makes sense. John Stern's no gun.
00:10:41Sun's useless. Hunt are spoiled.
00:10:43And yet they still own the fucking world's medicine scavenage.
00:10:47I guess now we know why.
00:10:49They've got something in women going to the fucking empire.
00:10:53Let's get down out of fucking New York tonight.
00:10:55I'm not running to the fucking freak ever again.
00:11:01You're back. Come sit down.
00:11:10Where the hell have you been?
00:11:12It's already late and dinner's not even ready.
00:11:14Did you want us to starve?
00:11:17I was out picking up Elaine and have my own things to do.
00:11:20If you guys are hungry, you can have the maid pick you up something.
00:11:23You gotta wait for me.
00:11:25Excuse me.
00:11:26We let you live here.
00:11:28Eat our food.
00:11:29And now you don't even want to cook?
00:11:31You really are ungrateful. You know that?
00:11:34They can't stand the maid's cooking.
00:11:36So be useful for once and start getting dinner ready, Silas.
00:11:45What if I don't?
00:11:46What if one day I don't come back?
00:11:48Would 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?
00:11:59What's that supposed to mean?
00:12:00Are you so tired of cooking that you're trying to take a fight with me, Silas?
00:12:06Forget about it.
00:12:08Well then get in there and start cooking.
00:12:12Don't make me say twice.
00:12:20Oh, Elaine, you have that meeting with Mr. Whitmore tomorrow.
00:12:24What are the odds that you land that Hudson Yards deal?
00:12:27We're still a few steps behind our competitors.
00:12:31But I'll do everything I can.
00:12:34You 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.
00:12:48I know, Mom.
00:12:51Tristan's back in town, you know.
00:12:53And you have that meeting with his uncle tomorrow?
00:12:56Perfect timing.
00:12:58Give him a call.
00:12:59I know you two are so into each other at school.
00:13:02I'm sure he'd help.
00:13:09You need to land this deal, sweetheart.
00:13:12The business depends on it.
00:13:24Cancel it?
00:13:25I'm keeping you up.
00:13:26You can always take the couch.
00:13:28Don't worry about Hudson Yards.
00:13:30Alright?
00:13:31Don't overthink it.
00:13:33Yeah, like you know anything about business?
00:13:36It's not as simple as frying an egg.
00:13:53Hello?
00:13:54Hello?
00:13:55I'm right in.
00:13:56I'm outside.
00:14:13I couldn't wait to see you. It's... it's been too long.
00:14:20Wait, I thought you weren't coming back for another three days.
00:14:25I mean, that's what I told everyone, but of course you're not everyone. I couldn't go another day without seeing
00:14:31you.
00:14:32Tristan, I'm sorry, but I'm married.
00:14:37I know, it's uh... Silas, this is a stray dog that you picked up, but now that I'm back, you
00:14:44can cancel this joke wedding and Elaine, will you marry me?
00:14:50Uh, Tristan, I'm glad that you're back, but this is too much, too soon.
00:14:58Of course, it's uh... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.
00:15:02Look, you can take your time, and honestly just seeing you tonight, I mean that was enough for me.
00:15:08Good night.
00:15:12Tristan...
00:15:14Yeah?
00:15:15I have a meeting with your Uncle Mark tomorrow about the Hudson Yards project.
00:15:19Is there any chance you can put in a good word for me? Help me land the deal?
00:15:24I can help you out. No worries.
00:15:26Thank you. Tristan, if I can pull this deal off, I will owe you. Big time.
00:15:31Look, look, look, I can handle it, okay? It just, it's freezing cold out here, and I really don't want
00:15:36you to catch a cold, so you should probably go back inside. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
00:15:42Wait.
00:15:57I can sleep. I'll buy a tea might help.
00:16:01Wait.
00:16:03Are you really not gonna ask where I was just now?
00:16:06You told me if I did.
00:16:07You know, since we got married, you've done everything for me.
00:16:13Never had a bad temper, never complained.
00:16:16You're just a good man.
00:16:19Kind and gentle.
00:16:21But I need you to understand something.
00:16:24Even if you spent another decade by my side, nothing is ever gonna happen between us.
00:16:31Kind and gentle is just another way of saying weak.
00:16:34Get some rest. It's late.
00:16:45Hello?
00:16:46Hi, Uncle Mark. Uh...
00:16:48I know it's late, but...
00:16:49I need a favor.
00:16:50Hudson Yards.
00:16:53Look, I'm gonna stop you right there. That deal is done.
00:16:56We'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.
00:17:18I know that Sterling Group isn't the most obvious choice for the Hudson Yards project.
00:17:24But if you give us a shot, I will personally oversee every detail and I promise you we will exceed
00:17:32your expectations.
00:17:36Don't worry, Miss Sterling.
00:17:40Hudson Yards is yours.
00:17:44Contract's already drawn up. Just sign it and we're good to go.
00:17:48Mr. Whitmore, you don't even want to look at our proposal?
00:17:50Don't need to.
00:17:52Someone I trust vouch for Sterling Group personally.
00:17:54I have complete faith.
00:17:57Here.
00:18:01Who will exactly vouch for us?
00:18:05Let's just say it's someone who is very close to you.
00:18:11It had to be Tristan.
00:18:13It had to be Tristan.
00:18:15Thank you, Mr. Whitmore. We will not let you down.
00:18:18I am sure you won't.
00:18:29Hey.
00:18:30Sir.
00:18:30I followed your instructions to the letter, Mr. Lancaster.
00:18:34Mrs. Sterling, she just signed the contract.
00:18:37Great.
00:18:38I'll get big time, Mark.
00:18:39Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:18:41I'm...
00:18:41I'm happy that I was able to help.
00:18:43If there's anything else you need, just say the word.
00:18:48Am I...
00:18:49Look, I'm so sorry.
00:18:50Tristan, we got the Hudson Yards project.
00:18:52It is all thanks to you. You're a lifesaver.
00:18:56Wait.
00:18:57Uncle Mark said that the project had already been assigned.
00:19:00Did he change his mind to do me a favor?
00:19:02Yeah, no big deal.
00:19:03I mean, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters.
00:19:07Can I get you lunch?
00:19:08No.
00:19:09After everything you've done, I owe you this one.
00:19:22Oh, my cheeks feel hot.
00:19:24I think I've had too much.
00:19:26Really, I mean...
00:19:27I think you look gorgeous.
00:19:29I mean, as always.
00:19:30You know, I remember when we were in college.
00:19:33Everyone used to say that we were so good together.
00:19:36I think if I'd never left London, then we would've even had kids or something by now.
00:19:42Three years is long enough to change everything.
00:19:52Why 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?
00:20:03Are you drinking?
00:20:04God, we dropped it already?
00:20:07I am hanging up...
00:20:08Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:20:09This must be Silas, right?
00:20:12Yeah, I'm Tristan Whitmore.
00:20:14Elaine's ex-boyfriend.
00:20:16Elaine's ex?
00:20:18You know, I know that I left and she had to settle for someone else, but now that I'm back...
00:20:24We should probably just walk away.
00:20:26Before things get ugly, of course.
00:20:28Okay.
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.
00:20:38I'll be home soon.
00:20:41You crossed the line, Tristan.
00:20:44Okay, look.
00:20:45I'm sorry, right?
00:20:47But I hate seeing you with that guy when you could be with me.
00:20:50I mean, you're way out of this league.
00:20:52Come on.
00:20:53Forget it.
00:20:54I should go.
00:20:54I'm just gonna get an oop.
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?
00:21:03One more drink, okay?
00:21:04And then we're gonna toast it.
00:21:08Sound good?
00:21:10Yeah.
00:21:11Cheers.
00:21:12To us.
00:21:15And to our past.
00:21:26I should go.
00:21:27It's...
00:21:28It's scary.
00:21:29Wait, hey, hey, hey.
00:21:31Hey!
00:21:31Wait!
00:21:32Are you okay?
00:21:34I think I drank too, man.
00:21:36Okay, okay, okay.
00:21:36It's a nice night.
00:21:37Yeah?
00:21:38Here we go.
00:21:40No!
00:21:40No!
00:21:41No!
00:21:43No!
00:21:43No!
00:21:43No!
00:21:46No!
00:21:46No!
00:21:47You're even more beautiful than I remember.
00:21:49You've never stopped wanting me.
00:21:51No.
00:21:52Tristan, stop.
00:21:53I'm married.
00:21:54Look!
00:21:55Look!
00:21:56Look!
00:21:56Look!
00:21:56No!
00:21:57I can't resist you anymore.
00:21:59Tristan, stop!
00:22:01Stop!
00:22:01I want to be with you, yeah?
00:22:03I want to be with...
00:22:04I want us to be together.
00:22:06Don't silence.
00:22:08Together.
00:22:08Our families will be the most powerful in the city.
00:22:12No, don't.
00:22:13No!
00:22:23Silas?
00:22:24He actually fights?
00:22:27Hey!
00:22:28No!
00:22:28Silas!
00:22:29Silas, stop!
00:22:30Leave him alone!
00:22:32So, you're Silas, huh?
00:22:34The loser who's been leeching off of her for years?
00:22:37Well, now that you hit me, I can't finish.
00:22:44Silas, apologize to Tristan now.
00:22:49Silas, apologize to Tristan now.
00:22:52He forced himself on top of you.
00:22:53You want me to apologize?
00:22:55Apologize.
00:23:03I'm sorry.
00:23:07Good boy.
00:23:09You know, I'm going to slide this time.
00:23:12Just for Wayne's sake.
00:23:15Hey, look, I'm so sorry about earlier.
00:23:19I was drunk, okay?
00:23:20It was my mistake.
00:23:21I didn't hurt you right.
00:23:22Look, I'm sorry.
00:23:22It was my fault.
00:23:23It was my fault.
00:23:24Okay, it's fine.
00:23:26Look, it's late.
00:23:27We should just go.
00:23:28We'll talk later, right?
00:23:30Can I talk to you later?
00:23:33Okay.
00:23:47Elaine, how did it go with Mr. Whitmore?
00:23:50Did you get the Hudson Yards project?
00:23:52Judging by that look, I'm guessing not.
00:23:58Contract side?
00:23:59What?
00:24:00Wow.
00:24:02That fast?
00:24:04It feels like this usually takes weeks to negotiate.
00:24:07Well, Tristan talked to his uncle.
00:24:10He really went out of his way to vouch for us.
00:24:13Of course.
00:24:14Tristan.
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 ever.
00:24:27You think Tristan got you Hudson Yards?
00:24:36So if it wasn't Tristan, then who was it?
00:24:38You?
00:24:42Go make us dinner.
00:24:43Can't you see that we're starving?
00:24:58I get why you're upset.
00:25:00But I appreciate you keeping your cool back at the restaurant.
00:25:04If you'd hit Tristan, things would have gotten a lot worse.
00:25:07You'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...
00:25:12Let's slide.
00:25:14You're overreacting.
00:25:15Tristan was drunk.
00:25:16He didn't mean it.
00:25:19And you have no idea how important this deal is for Sterling Group.
00:25:25Tristan was the only one who could help.
00:25:27Just try to understand, okay?
00:25:30You think Tristan Whitmore got you the deal?
00:25:33Tristan 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.
00:25:40Come on.
00:25:41Okay.
00:25:43Well, then who vouched for us?
00:25:44I don't know.
00:25:46Could be anybody.
00:25:47But it sure as hell was a Tristan Whitmore.
00:25:51Look, you don't need to be jealous of Tristan.
00:25:55We're married, for God's sake.
00:25:56I'd never cross that line.
00:25:58Look, Eleni, you'd grow up.
00:26:00Your grandfather started this company for nothing.
00:26:02Don't be the one to ruin his legs.
00:26:10Ruin it?
00:26:11Are you kidding me?
00:26:13I am the reason that Sterling Group is thriving.
00:26:16You, on the other hand, are just a house husband living off of my family.
00:26:22But now you think that you can lecture me?
00:26:25You've really forgotten your place, haven't you?
00:26:29I mean, I protected you too much.
00:26:31Because you are still just a spoiled princess who never had a face of reality.
00:26:37Call me spoiled all you want, but you protect me.
00:26:42Really?
00:26:44Driving me around, cooking, driving, waiting around for me?
00:26:48That is not protection.
00:26:50That's pathetic.
00:26:52Tomorrow my promised chief grandfather ends.
00:26:55Time you finally learned the truth.
00:26:58Look, I've been holding your family together for three years now.
00:27:01You 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.
00:27:12How I guess Tristan really got under your skin, huh?
00:27:16You're actually saying that Sterling Group would fall apart without you.
00:27:21I'm just telling you the truth.
00:27:23Watch your tone with Elaine, or I'll throw you out of this house.
00:27:28Just kick him out.
00:27:29I mean, a man who lives off his wife has no room to mouth off.
00:27:32Mom, Dad, please.
00:27:34Silas was just upset.
00:27:37Don't offend him, dear.
00:27:39You fulfilled your grandpa's last wish.
00:27:42Been married for three years now.
00:27:44It's time you file for divorce.
00:27:47Exactly.
00:27:47It's time for you to dump this, Luke.
00:27:50All right, Silas, listen.
00:27:53You crossed the line.
00:27:55What?
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.
00:28:07You want me to apologize?
00:28:09Yes.
00:28:11What, do you have a problem with that?
00:28:13You heard her.
00:28:15Apologize.
00:28:15Now.
00:28:19I'm losing my patience here, Silas.
00:28:22This is your last chance.
00:28:26And if I don't?
00:28:29Then we're done.
00:28:30You'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.
00:28:44Then we're done.
00:28:45Let's get a divorce.
00:28:46What?
00:28:50What did you just say?
00:28:52Marriage court is closed by now, but we'll go tomorrow morning.
00:28:55Get the papers signed.
00:28:59Did I hear that right?
00:29:01Silas wants to divorce you?
00:29:04Oh, thank God.
00:29:07You can do so much better than him, sweetheart.
00:29:09But what if Silas changes his mind?
00:29:12We know how obsessed he is with Elaine.
00:29:15And then we'll drag 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.
00:29:26Let's forget that loser.
00:29:28Well, if no one's cooking, looks like we're going out.
00:29:31Why don't you choose?
00:29:32I'm not hungry.
00:29:34You guys go ahead.
00:29:50I'm not hungry.
00:29:54I'm not hungry.
00:29:56I'm not hungry.
00:30:01You guys go ahead.
00:30:02I'm hungry.
00:30:04I'm not hungry.
00:30:06Look.
00:30:08Silas?
00:30:10Had to be.
00:30:11We were out. He was the only one here.
00:30:13I told you he was bluffing.
00:30:15If he really wanted a divorce,
00:30:17he wouldn't go around cleaning like some maid.
00:30:20Unless he wants us to look like the bad guys or something.
00:30:24If he apologizes to you tomorrow,
00:30:27maybe you should think about taking him back.
00:30:32Been working on that Hudson Yards deal for a while now.
00:30:34Need some rest.
00:30:37Here. Want a massage?
00:30:40I knew it.
00:30:41Now he's trying to butter me up.
00:30:44Fine.
00:30:49Now that it's just the two of us,
00:30:52say you're sorry and we can pretend like this divorce BS never happened.
00:31:01Hey, I'm talking to you.
00:31:03You know what I mean?
00:31:08It's rough.
00:31:11Still bluffing?
00:31:13Let's see how you act at the courthouse tomorrow.
00:31:34Goodbye, Elaine.
00:31:37But today our deal ends.
00:31:39From now on the Sterlings are on the road.
00:31:47Well done.
00:31:50Yeah.
00:31:54Yeah.
00:32:05You're okay.
00:32:06No, I used to know.
00:32:08I've been protecting Elaine and the family for three years now.
00:32:11But after today that deal ends.
00:32:13After this, they are on their own.
00:32:28Silas was up before sunrise making all this.
00:32:31Does 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.
00:32:43I've thought it over, Silas.
00:32:45I'll give you another chance.
00:32:47Sit down. Join us.
00:32:50I already ate.
00:32:51When you guys finish, we'll go to the courthouse and send the divorce papers.
00:32:55What?
00:32:59Okay, that is enough, Silas.
00:33:01I am sick of this attitude of yours.
00:33:05I'll wait in the car.
00:33:09Unbelievable.
00:33:11Elaine gives him another chance and he just walks out.
00:33:14What does he think? He has options?
00:33:16Divorce him, sweetheart.
00:33:18He's asking for it.
00:33:19It just might work out.
00:33:20I mean, once you're divorced, maybe you and Tristan can get back together.
00:33:23What?
00:33:25Whatever his game is, I'm calling his bluff.
00:33:31Wait.
00:33:33Sign it first, and then we're going.
00:33:42You better not regret this.
00:33:54I thought he was bluffing, but he really went through with it.
00:33:59And didn't even ask for a single cent.
00:34:01Oh.
00:34:04This car belongs to the Sterling, so, uh...
00:34:08That's real.
00:34:12Oh, my God.
00:34:13I just realized...
00:34:16Three years since Silas never really owned a single thing.
00:34:21Even his car wasn't really his.
00:34:23He was just there to drive me around.
00:34:26Alright.
00:34:27That's it, then.
00:34:29Goodbye for good.
00:34:40So...
00:34:41What did I even mean to him?
00:34:43Why bother marrying me at all?
00:34:46What the hell?
00:34:47Goodbye for good?
00:34:49What is that?
00:34:49Some lame attempt to make me feel guilty?
00:34:52Sad?
00:34:53Well, screw you, because I am not falling for it.
00:35:07He threw this away?
00:35:10Did I really not mean anything to him?
00:35:15Where's Silas?
00:35:18So...
00:35:19Is it official?
00:35:20You two are actually divorced?
00:35:22He didn't make a scene and beg you to forgive him?
00:35:28No.
00:35:29It was quick.
00:35:31Too quick.
00:35:32That's wonderful, sweetheart.
00:35:34You're finally free.
00:35:36It's a new beginning.
00:35:37We 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.
00:35:46The Hudson Yards project is already underway.
00:35:49That's my girl.
00:35:50Strong as ever.
00:35:52The 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.
00:36:04You can get attached to anything after three years.
00:36:06Even a mangy mutt.
00:36:07It's just habit.
00:36:09Not love.
00:36:10True.
00:36:11Silas was useless.
00:36:13But he did take care of Elaine.
00:36:16I just think she's not used to being alone.
00:36:18She never really loved him anyway.
00:36:20Just give it a few days.
00:36:21Oh.
00:36:22Tristan came back to town.
00:36:24Once he hears that Elaine is divorced,
00:36:26I'm sure he'll come running.
00:36:28That'll cheer her up.
00:36:47Fighting with the feelings I get
00:36:53Dancing with the shadows
00:36:57I'm pushing for the edge
00:36:59I feel as though I'm falling
00:37:03But I ain't falling yet
00:37:05I hold it in
00:37:07I push it out
00:37:08I breathe again
00:37:13Silas.
00:37:15There's not a single trace of you left in the house.
00:37:19Is this on purpose?
00:37:21Is this your way of punishing me
00:37:22by erasing yourself from my life?
00:37:25Watch me die
00:37:28Fall and rise
00:37:30I am brave
00:37:33Just to breathe again
00:37:38Gone.
00:37:41Everything's gone.
00:37:46Silas, you think that ghosting me
00:37:49makes you the winner?
00:37:51I don't ever
00:37:52want to see your face again.
00:38:01We're throwing you a fresh dark fiesta
00:38:04to celebrate your divorce
00:38:05for at Tristan's house.
00:38:06Get over here!
00:38:07No, Rebecca, I'm not really...
00:38:10Hello?
00:38:11I don't know.
00:38:29Elaine, congrats.
00:38:31I mean, freedom's never looked so good on you.
00:38:42Thanks.
00:38:48What's up with Elaine?
00:38:50I thought she was into you.
00:38:53Look, we just...
00:38:54We just had a little misunderstanding
00:38:56last time I saw her.
00:38:57I think she might still be mad.
00:39:00Well, she's single here.
00:39:02Golden opportunity like this
00:39:04doesn't fall into your lap every day.
00:39:06Don't screw it up.
00:39:07Come on, let us slip this down.
00:39:15Fiona can't make it.
00:39:17We're swamped with exams.
00:39:20She told us to take care of Elaine without her.
00:39:24Let's start.
00:39:26Elaine, today's all about you.
00:39:29Come on, say something.
00:39:30What's it like being single again?
00:39:34What's it like being single again?
00:39:38I...
00:39:39don't really feel anything.
00:39:43I...
00:39:43don't really feel anything.
00:39:45It's all good.
00:39:47Just say whatever comes to mind, Elaine.
00:39:49Yeah.
00:39:50We know the past three years sucked for you.
00:39:52So now that you finally got rid of that loser Silas,
00:39:55you must have something to say.
00:39:58Uh...
00:39:59These...
00:40:00last three years have been...
00:40:03Rough.
00:40:04You all know that...
00:40:06my grandfather chose Silas.
00:40:08Not me.
00:40:09I thought that when we finally got divorced,
00:40:12I'd be happy.
00:40:13And you are now.
00:40:14Right?
00:40:16No.
00:40:18We signed the papers ten hours ago,
00:40:20and I'm not happy at all.
00:40:22Like, not even a little.
00:40:24Seriously?
00:40:25Don't tell me you regret filing for divorce.
00:40:28Regretting?
00:40:29Of course not.
00:40:30I mean, the divorce is exactly what I wanted.
00:40:33I just don't understand why I'm not happy.
00:40:38Maybe Silas spoiled you.
00:40:40I mean, he was waiting on you hand and foot,
00:40:42and for him to just suddenly be gone?
00:40:43Like, that's probably weird.
00:40:45Yeah, that guy was obsessed with you.
00:40:47I bet he's crying his eyes out now.
00:40:51I'm not so sure about that.
00:40:53Because he vanished completely.
00:40:55Didn't leave a single trace behind.
00:40:58Well, there's one way to find out.
00:41:01Let's play...
00:41:02Dog Whistle!
00:41:09That's perfect!
00:41:10Okay, Eli.
00:41:10Go ahead.
00:41:11We're kinda far from the city,
00:41:13so let's give him, say, 15 minutes to get here.
00:41:16Okay.
00:41:17Come on, guys.
00:41:18I am divorced now.
00:41:20Elaine, it's a phone call.
00:41:22Besides, he loved it.
00:41:24That guy showed up right on cue every time.
00:41:26Every time? Really?
00:41:28It's too far.
00:41:2915 minutes is impossible.
00:41:32Okay, let's just call it a night.
00:41:34But thank you guys for the party.
00:41:36I'll tell ya.
00:41:37Are you scared you won't show up this time?
00:41:41Come on, Elaine.
00:41:42Don't be such a buzzkill.
00:41:44I mean, we're just trying to have some fun.
00:41:46Come on.
00:41:47I mean, don't you wanna see if your little lap dog still comes on your command?
00:41:52Fine.
00:42:00Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
00:42:08Did he actually block you?
00:42:11Silas, what are you doing?
00:42:14No, there is no way that Silas would block Elaine.
00:42:17He's probably playing some game with her to get her attention.
00:42:21Exactly.
00:42:22That loser is sneakier than he looks.
00:42:25He's probably just trying to mess with your head.
00:42:27He's not worth thinking about.
00:42:29I just wanna know what his game is.
00:42:33Can you call him from your phone?
00:42:35Tell him he has 15 minutes to get here.
00:42:38And if he does, I might give him a second chance.
00:42:43Wait, so you're saying you're gonna give him another chance?
00:42:46Relax, man.
00:42:47We're just making fun of that idiot Silas.
00:43:03Oh, maybe he didn't block Elaine, he just got rid of his number.
00:43:08Wait, you guys don't think that he's so heartbroken over Elaine that he would be suicidal?
00:43:13Suicidal.
00:43:17I mean, think about it.
00:43:19Elaine, he was crazy about you.
00:43:21You divorced him out of nowhere.
00:43:23What if he can't handle life without you?
00:43:25Really? I mean, like...
00:43:26Okay, he's pathetic, but is he that pathetic?
00:43:29Obsession makes people do crazy things.
00:43:31Elaine was basically his only reason for living.
00:43:37Silas, I apologize to Tristan now.
00:43:41Then we're done.
00:43:42You're out of the Sterling family for good.
00:43:45So that's it then.
00:43:47Goodbye for good.
00:43:51Hey, Elaine, are you okay?
00:43:53My chest hurts.
00:43:54I'm calling 911.
00:43:56No, no, no, no, I'll be okay.
00:43:58Wait, wait, wait, everybody back up!
00:43:59Keep her air!
00:44:01Jeez.
00:44:03You don't really think that Silas would hurt himself, right?
00:44:07I mean, he may be pathetic, but we were still together for three years.
00:44:11I don't want anything to happen to him.
00:44:13Can one of you guys go to his place?
00:44:16Where is he?
00:44:19I...
00:44:20Don't know.
00:44:24He owned a loft before we got married.
00:44:26Maybe check there?
00:44:27We barely know the guy, Elaine.
00:44:29You're the one who was married to him for three years.
00:44:32You seriously don't know where he lived?
00:44:35I guess not.
00:44:37You never went to his place?
00:44:39No, never.
00:44:44Wait, you guys were married for three years and you never went to his house?
00:44:48Look, Silas, he probably lives like in some cabin out in the woods somewhere.
00:44:53I mean, why should Elaine trek out into the wilderness?
00:44:56Well, everyone knows it was a fake marriage anyway.
00:44:59Elaine, does he have any friends or family we could contact?
00:45:03No, I never met any of his friends, let alone his family.
00:45:06Elaine.
00:45:09For three years, Silas took care of everything.
00:45:13What I ate, what I wore, where I slept.
00:45:16But 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.
00:45:24He left with nothing.
00:45:25He even returned to the car, then he drove around it.
00:45:28Wait, so then what was he after?
00:45:33Elaine, of course.
00:45:34She's gorgeous.
00:45:36She's smart.
00:45:37She's sexy.
00:45:38I mean, what guy wouldn't want to be with her?
00:45:40No way, man.
00:45:41Everyone knows that they didn't even share a battle.
00:45:43No way.
00:45:49Alright, let's forget about Silas, and let's just have some fun.
00:45:52Yeah?
00:45:53Get yourself a drink.
00:45:55No, I'm going to find him.
00:46:02Silas used to wait here for me after work.
00:46:14Silas always helps me shop here.
00:46:26Silas, where are you?
00:46:28Just tell me what game you're playing.
00:46:38Can you do me a huge favor?
00:46:51What's up?
00:46:55Hey, Fiona.
00:46:57Got plans tonight?
00:46:59I've got VIP tickets to the Rangers game.
00:47:02I have plans tonight, probably.
00:47:04Busy.
00:47:05Yeah, I've, uh...
00:47:07I've actually got plans too tonight.
00:47:09I forgot.
00:47:12You know, I'm the captain of the swim team.
00:47:16I could.
00:47:17Coach you.
00:47:18If you don't.
00:47:20One on one.
00:47:21Yeah?
00:47:26Who the hell are you?
00:47:27Can't you see I'm busy?
00:47:29Yeah, so...
00:47:30Coach Smith is out today.
00:47:32How about your sub?
00:47:33Coach Lancaster.
00:47:34Is that Elaine's ex-husband?
00:47:37He coaches college swimming part-time?
00:47:40Yeah.
00:47:41Coach me.
00:47:42That's hilarious.
00:47:43It is?
00:47:44Why is that?
00:47:45You really think you can teach me anything about swimming?
00:47:47I'm the captain of the goddamn swim team.
00:47:54Look, I don't care if you're the champion of the tenium.
00:47:57While I'm here, listen to me.
00:47:59He doesn't seem as spineless as Elaine said.
00:48:02Why are you so cocky?
00:48:04You're just a substitute.
00:48:05You really think you can teach me anything about swimming?
00:48:08I promise you I am more than qualified to be your coach.
00:48:11Don't gotta question that.
00:48:12Okay.
00:48:12Coach qualified.
00:48:13You think you can handle a little challenge?
00:48:16Challenge?
00:48:18What are you thinking?
00:48:19A race.
00:48:20You beat me?
00:48:21I'll admit you're good enough to coach us.
00:48:24Sure.
00:48:24Sounds good.
00:48:25Let's do it.
00:48:26Ooh.
00:48:27Not so fast.
00:48:28If you lose, you have to strip naked and bark like a dog.
00:48:33You still feel ready?
00:48:36Bradley's not just the captain.
00:48:38He's training for the Olympics.
00:48:40The guy's a bullet in the water.
00:48:43Most coaches wouldn't last a lap against him.
00:48:45Bradley, Coach Lancaster's our sub today.
00:48:48Show him some respect.
00:48:49This is between us, Fiona.
00:48:51Stay out of here.
00:48:52Coach Lancaster, you don't have to take the challenge.
00:48:55No, it's fine.
00:48:57Haven't swum in ages.
00:48:59I can use a stretch.
00:49:01Let's get to it.
00:49:04Oh, no.
00:49:05He's asking for trouble.
00:49:07Did the divorce really hit him that hard?
00:49:09Bradley, come on.
00:49:10Let's go, Bradley.
00:49:11Lock in.
00:49:12Lock in.
00:49:12Lock in.
00:49:12Come on.
00:49:14Alright, tough guy.
00:49:15You've got stones.
00:49:17I'll give you that.
00:49:18100-meter freestyle.
00:49:20Right here?
00:49:21Right now.
00:49:27Wow.
00:49:28Those abs.
00:49:29Okay.
00:49:31Definitely didn't see those coming.
00:49:32Hey, old man.
00:49:33Haven't worked out in ages, huh?
00:49:35Why don't you just quit now?
00:49:36We don't want you drowning in the pool.
00:49:39Okay.
00:49:4050 meters down.
00:49:4250 back.
00:49:43The first to touch the wall wins.
00:49:45Alright, Coach Lancaster.
00:49:47No, we've got this.
00:49:48Come on.
00:49:49The last time I swam across the Pacific was, what, 500 years ago?
00:49:54I was going to miss that.
00:49:55.
00:49:57.
00:49:58.
00:50:00.
00:50:00.
00:50:01.
00:50:01.
00:50:01.
00:50:02.
00:50:02.
00:50:03Let's go, let's go, let's go!
00:50:16Why is it freezing all of a sudden?
00:50:27There's a shark! There's a fucking shark!
00:50:31A shark?
00:50:33Woo!
00:50:40Coach Lancaster touches first! Bradley bailed halfway, the race goes to the coach!
00:50:44Woo! Let's go, go!
00:50:51I saw a fucking shark!
00:50:55Shark!
00:50:56Shark!
00:50:58I guess we're gonna need a bigger pool!
00:51:01Sorry Bradley, no one saw anything weird.
00:51:04You're really doubling down on this whole shark sighting?
00:51:08Am I seeing things?
00:51:10God, I've gotta be lazy. Too much damn stress.
00:51:13I want a 500 meter butterfly, and I'll give you a 400 meter headstruck.
00:51:17That's unfair?
00:51:22No. No. I'm just... I'm off my game.
00:51:26You... you win.
00:51:27You win.
00:51:31Bradley's been acting like he owns the whole damn pool because his dad's on the board and he's swim captain.
00:51:36It's always creeping on girls.
00:51:37I'm glad someone finally knocked him down a notch.
00:51:46a corner with my game.
00:51:56No.
00:51:57I'm just kidding.
00:51:58You're supposed to have a thing?
00:51:58You have a thing for Coach Lancaster.
00:52:01No, that's not true!
00:52:03I do not!
00:52:04It's not true.
00:52:08I swear, don't look at me like that.
00:52:17Alright guys, good practice today. Have a good one and uh...
00:52:27Coach Lancaster, you really don't remember me?
00:52:31Should I?
00:52:33I mean, we've met a few times.
00:52:36I'm Fiona Ashford.
00:52:38Elaine's best friend.
00:52:40Yeah, that's right.
00:52:43Did you need something?
00:52:46No.
00:52:48Great. Have a good day.
00:52:53How can someone be so clueless about women?
00:52:55It's driving me nuts.
00:53:00Ow!
00:53:04Hey, Fiona, are you okay?
00:53:07My stomach, it hurts.
00:53:11It hurts right here.
00:53:12Calms feel hard and tight.
00:53:15How do you know?
00:53:16It's an abdominal muscle spasm.
00:53:17It happens when you don't warm up properly before swimming.
00:53:20Great.
00:53:21Student Health Center's probably closed by now.
00:53:24Don't worry, I can...
00:53:25I can call an ambulance.
00:53:26No way, I'll pass out before it ever gets here.
00:53:31Well, I know something that might help, but...
00:53:33You gotta trust me.
00:53:35You can take this pain away?
00:53:37What are you...
00:53:37You know, sports medicine or something?
00:53:41Not exactly.
00:53:42It's just a truth I picked up from an old dealer.
00:53:46Or I can...
00:53:47Do all the animals.
00:53:48No.
00:53:49Okay.
00:53:50Please just...
00:53:50Just help me.
00:53:52Okay.
00:53:55Here, lie down.
00:53:59And lift your shirt up.
00:54:03I need to see your stomach.
00:54:05It's okay, Fiona.
00:54:06You can trust me.
00:54:13It might hurt a little bit.
00:54:14But just try to relax and...
00:54:16Keep your ass closed.
00:54:17Alright?
00:54:40Should be all good to go.
00:54:41Oh my god.
00:54:43My pain is totally gone.
00:54:45How did you...
00:54:47Wait a minute.
00:54:49I want to you.
00:54:52You are?
00:54:56That old healer you talk about?
00:54:59It's Mr. Miyagi, isn't it?
00:55:03God, you are unreal, Coach Lancaster.
00:55:06I mean, is there anything that you can't do?
00:55:09Well, when you live long enough...
00:55:13Anyways.
00:55:15Just, uh, warm up properly.
00:55:17Some dry clothes on when you finish swimming.
00:55:19And, uh, it should be good.
00:55:22I'll be more diligent.
00:55:23I promise.
00:55:25Well, I, uh, guess I should be going again.
00:55:28Wait.
00:55:30Are you gonna be running next swim practice, too?
00:55:34Yeah.
00:55:35Yeah, looks like it.
00:55:37Um, do you maybe want to get lunch after?
00:55:41My treat.
00:55:42Just...
00:55:43A little way of saying thank you for helping me out.
00:55:47Thanks, but...
00:55:48I'll pass.
00:55:49Have a good day.
00:55:53Seriously?
00:55:55Near, I thought that we were finally getting somewhere.
00:56:14It's been a whole week, and there's still no news of you.
00:56:21Silas, did you really disappear from my life for good?
00:56:29Elaine?
00:56:30Where have you been? We've all been trying to reach you for days.
00:56:33Just work's been crazy.
00:56:35So you know that you can talk to me, right?
00:56:38So what's next for you?
00:56:40Got any plans after the divorce?
00:56:42I heard Tristan's back in town.
00:56:44You two getting back together?
00:56:46Didn't know you were such a gossip, Fiona.
00:56:50Honestly, I don't feel anything for Tristan anymore.
00:56:53So there's still hope for her and Silas.
00:56:56Maybe they'll find their way back to each other.
00:57:01If you don't feel anything for Tristan, then why'd you get a divorce?
00:57:04I mean, I know that you and Silas fought...
00:57:07a lot.
00:57:10But...
00:57:10this time feels...
00:57:12final.
00:57:15So that's it then.
00:57:17Uh...
00:57:18far for good.
00:57:21Maybe...
00:57:22he...
00:57:22just...
00:57:23got tired.
00:57:24He got tired?
00:57:25Are you saying that Silas was the one who wanted the divorce?
00:57:28Worse than all.
00:57:29I was the one who ended.
00:57:31For what it's worth, Elaine,
00:57:33I think that Silas is a really good man.
00:57:40Come on.
00:57:44I think maybe you should take some time to think things through.
00:57:48Don't let pride make you walk away from someone that really cares about you.
00:57:51You really think he's a good man?
00:57:54A good man doesn't freeload off of my family for three years.
00:57:58He sure as hell doesn't marry a woman who's already in love with someone else.
00:58:02Wasn't Silas a victim too?
00:58:04I mean, your grandfather forced that marriage on the both of you.
00:58:07He was just trying to honor his wishes.
00:58:09No matter how badly you treated him.
00:58:12Silas never lost his temper.
00:58:14Doesn't that have to count for something?
00:58:19You called me.
00:58:20I thought you were in trouble.
00:58:22About yours behind my back calling me a dumb chud to your friends?
00:58:25That's right.
00:58:26Then we're done.
00:58:27You are out of the Sterling family for good.
00:58:32Maybe you're right, Fiona.
00:58:34But it doesn't matter. We're already divorced.
00:58:38You were married to Silas for three years.
00:58:40But you never really knew each other.
00:58:44Maybe this divorce could be the chance to start things over.
00:58:47Sit down with him as equals.
00:58:49Talk things through.
00:58:50You both deserve at least that much.
00:58:54I'd love to.
00:58:56But I don't even know where Silas is anymore.
00:58:59Well, then it's a good thing I do.
00:59:02You know where Silas is?
00:59:04He's been subbing as a swim coach at my university.
00:59:07Is he gonna be there tomorrow?
00:59:08Yeah, I think so.
00:59:11Elaine, what's going on? You look kinda tense.
00:59:14I... stopping. Just a slight headache.
00:59:17Come on. I'll take you home.
00:59:22Black Ivory Coffee.
00:59:23Your favorite coffee.
00:59:25I had it flown in from Thailand this morning just for you.
00:59:28You're trying to butter me up.
00:59:30What do you want, kid?
00:59:31Am I really so obvious?
00:59:34Well, look, as you know, I've been back home for a couple of days.
00:59:38And I have been dying to help out with the family business.
00:59:41I was thinking I could take point on the Hudson Yards.
00:59:44That is a great idea.
00:59:45It's good to see you stepping up for the family.
00:59:49Thank you so much.
00:59:50I will not let you down, okay?
00:59:52Oh, um...
00:59:54I also did want to ask.
00:59:56I heard that there was gonna be a VIP guest at the Whitmore Estate.
01:00:00Who exactly is that person?
01:00:02What?
01:00:07Let's...
01:00:09Tristan?
01:00:10Tell me.
01:00:11Have you ever seen a god?
01:00:14Are you being serious?
01:00:16I haven't seen a god.
01:00:17I don't think anyone has seen a god.
01:00:20You'd be surprised. Imagine someone lives for over 2,000 years.
01:00:25You've seen the rise and fall of civilizations.
01:00:28Commanded armies that have changed the course of history.
01:00:32They've mastered every field of human knowledge.
01:00:35And they have a speed and a strength beyond human capabilities.
01:00:41What would you call him?
01:00:422,000 years, you say, huh?
01:00:44Is there really a person like that?
01:00:46The world is a strange place, Tristan.
01:00:48Just because you haven't seen him?
01:00:50That doesn't mean he isn't.
01:00:54Alright guys, practice.
01:00:56Go home.
01:01:05I couldn't get the butterfly stroke if you showed me.
01:01:07It's Coach Lancaster and we're on camp.
01:01:10I'm...
01:01:11Coach Lancaster, could you please show me the butterfly again?
01:01:15Better.
01:01:16Coach Lancaster.
01:01:18Hey, I've been expecting you.
01:01:20Great to see you again.
01:01:22Oh, I'm sorry.
01:01:24Are you guys in the middle of something?
01:01:26No, it can wait.
01:01:27Okay.
01:01:28Great.
01:01:29Then I'd like to have a word with you in my office.
01:01:31Yeah, of course.
01:01:33Why is Dean Brown fanboying all over Silas?
01:01:36Is he really just a part-time swim coach?
01:01:44Wait!
01:01:49Silas, what the hell are you doing?
01:01:51Did you really change your number just to avoid me?
01:01:54I had that number you stay in contact with.
01:01:57We're divorced now.
01:01:58Why keep it?
01:01:59So you just disappear?
01:02:01Walk out of my life like I never meant anything to you?
01:02:04Are you really that cold?
01:02:06Cold.
01:02:07I didn't ask for a divorce.
01:02:10You didn't.
01:02:11Sit down with him as he thinks.
01:02:14Talk things through.
01:02:15You both deserve that much.
01:02:19You're right.
01:02:21I was the one who brought up the divorce.
01:02:24But I wasn't serious.
01:02:26Look, I just want to talk to you.
01:02:28Can you please give me a chance?
01:02:42What?
01:02:43You used to pull out my chair for me every single time we went out.
01:02:47Well, it didn't take you long to drop that habit, did it?
01:02:50We were divorced.
01:02:51That's my past.
01:02:54You.
01:02:59Fine.
01:03:00We're not a couple anymore.
01:03:02But we're still friends.
01:03:04You could still pull out my chair for me.
01:03:07Show a little gentlemanly courtesy, right?
01:03:10We're not friends.
01:03:10I'm not going to be a gentleman.
01:03:12You don't get to play with my emotions anymore.
01:03:14What did you just say?
01:03:15Okay, so you didn't come here to have a conversation.
01:03:17This was a mistake.
01:03:18Uh, I'm going to go.
01:03:19How long do you plan on sulking for?
01:03:22You think I'm sulking?
01:03:23Look, maybe I was too harsh before.
01:03:27But it's been days, Silas.
01:03:30I swallowed my pride to talk things through.
01:03:33Don't you think it's time to let that all go?
01:03:35Okay, so you admit you've been harsh.
01:03:37Yes.
01:03:38I was wrong.
01:03:39I admit.
01:03:41That's why I'm here.
01:03:43To ask you to come back home.
01:03:46You want me to come back home?
01:03:48That's right.
01:03:49My parents got used to your cooking and I got used to you taking care of me.
01:03:53If you come back, I won't be so hard on you.
01:03:56Maybe give you more spending money?
01:03:59So you want me to come back home and be a good boy for treats.
01:04:03Is that it?
01:04:04I mean, you really only view me as a family pet, don't you?
01:04:06I just want us to go back to living a good life.
01:04:10No, what you're saying is you want me to come back and cook for you and clean for you and
01:04:14be a servant to your family.
01:04:15That's not a good life.
01:04:16I don't-
01:04:17Don't test me, Silas.
01:04:19I'm running out of patience.
01:04:21If you came back to have a real conversation and apologize, I would listen.
01:04:26But you didn't.
01:04:27You came back to throw crumbs off your high horns.
01:04:29Because of that, I'm gonna go.
01:04:34Hey.
01:04:37I came here out of consideration for everything that you've done for me the past three years.
01:04:42But if you think that you can guilt me into submission, you are dead wrong.
01:04:47I am the Sterling heiress.
01:04:50I run half of the deals in this city.
01:04:52You really think that you can play games with me?
01:04:55You think you run half of the deals?
01:04:57That's really funny.
01:04:58Do you think any of these people would be lining up for you if it wasn't for my help?
01:05:01Your help?
01:05:02You? Who the hell do you think you are, Silas?
01:05:05You keep talking to me like that.
01:05:06I swear to God, I will take back every single thing I've ever given you.
01:05:09I'm sorry, what was that?
01:05:11You're taking back everything you gave me.
01:05:15Please, don't make me laugh.
01:05:17God, you have been mooching off of the Sterlings for three years and I never said a word.
01:05:22But, peering you like this?
01:05:25Charles Sterling made this company 50 years ago and you're gonna be the one to destroy it.
01:05:29You are still the same spoiled princess who never faced reality.
01:05:33Never learned your lesson.
01:05:34I feel like now's the time I should finally teach you that lesson.
01:05:37Well, please, by all means, great and powerful Silas, show me the error of my ways.
01:05:43Hey, guys.
01:05:45Why are we fighting?
01:05:47I thought you said that you were gonna talk things through, Aline.
01:05:50Start over, remember?
01:05:51Yeah, that's not necessary anymore.
01:05:53You were wrong, Fiona.
01:05:55Silas is not a good man.
01:05:57He's just a pathetic clown.
01:05:58No, you must have misunderstood something.
01:06:01Silas isn't like that.
01:06:02He's a decent person.
01:06:04Seriously?
01:06:05The man has no real job.
01:06:07He just sponges off of women.
01:06:09He is all swagger and no substance.
01:06:12What is so decent about that?
01:06:13He's not like that at all.
01:06:15You have it all wrong.
01:06:16Whose side are you on here, Fiona?
01:06:18Aren't you my friend?
01:06:19I am, but Silas is my friend, too.
01:06:23Since when?
01:06:27Wait, are you falling for him?
01:06:29No, no, it's not like that at all.
01:06:31I just, Silas is a good person.
01:06:33And you're a good person, too.
01:06:34I just don't think you guys should be fighting.
01:06:37Shut up, Fiona.
01:06:38If you think he's so great, then fine.
01:06:41He is all yours.
01:06:42Just don't ever speak to me again.
01:06:46Aline, wait!
01:06:49I'm sorry.
01:06:51Aline's just...
01:06:52Upset.
01:06:53That's all.
01:06:54No, don't defend her.
01:06:55She's still the same prideful Judd who is driven by ego
01:06:59and won't learn her lesson until life finally knocks her down.
01:07:03Knocks her down?
01:07:10Dad, why would Dean Brown act deferential towards someone?
01:07:14Warren Brown deferential?
01:07:16I find that hard to imagine.
01:07:18Yeah, he comes from old money.
01:07:20He's one of the most respected professors.
01:07:21He's worked with some of the most influential politicians,
01:07:25CEOs in the country.
01:07:26In this city, they defer to him, not the other way around.
01:07:31Weird.
01:07:32I definitely watched him totally fawn all over some time.
01:07:36What?
01:07:36Who was that?
01:07:37Warren Brown says it's time for you to wait.
01:07:39The President will wait for him.
01:07:41I find it hard to even earn that level of respect from him.
01:07:44Wow.
01:07:45So, Dean Brown's really that big of a deal?
01:07:48I know.
01:07:50So, Silas can't be just some part-time coach.
01:07:54I need to tell Aline.
01:07:59Oh, Aline.
01:08:01You're here.
01:08:02Tristan, what are you doing here?
01:08:04Well, you know, Uncle Mark.
01:08:06He had me lead the Hudson project.
01:08:08We're on point.
01:08:09Really do some logistical work and managerial stuff.
01:08:12The board gets weekly updates.
01:08:14You don't need to meet privately with me to discuss things.
01:08:17Aline.
01:08:18Don't be so rude.
01:08:20This project has a lot of details.
01:08:23It's a big deal for us.
01:08:24Please.
01:08:25Talk with Tristan.
01:08:26There's nothing to talk about.
01:08:28Aline.
01:08:29What are you talking about?
01:08:31Tristan, please.
01:08:32Don't take this personally.
01:08:34She's been on edge since the divorce.
01:08:37She didn't mean it.
01:08:38Right, Aline?
01:08:39I will present the project updates that the next board meeting is planned.
01:08:44Tristan.
01:08:45It's late.
01:08:47You realize I came back from London for you, right?
01:08:50And now what?
01:08:51Since you're divorced, you can't give me a chance.
01:08:53Aline.
01:08:54Don't be rude.
01:08:56This is me being polite.
01:08:57I have no interest in rehashing the past, so stop coming around to see me.
01:09:04Unbelievable.
01:09:05I mean, I get you the Hudson Yard project, and what?
01:09:08This is how you pay me back right now?
01:09:09Really?
01:09:10Nice try, Tristan.
01:09:11My people looked into Hudson Yards, and it was set aside for us.
01:09:15Long before your help.
01:09:19I mean, you're just a Nepo baby.
01:09:21You have zero influence over a deal this major.
01:09:24Mr. Whitmar already planned to give us the project?
01:09:27Why?
01:09:29Maybe he saw potential in us?
01:09:31Whatever the case, it has nothing to do with Tristan.
01:09:34So are you gonna leave, or do I need to show you the door?
01:09:38You'll regret this, Aline.
01:09:46Aline, you've been so tense lately.
01:09:49Is this about Silas?
01:09:50Of course not.
01:09:51I'm just sick of men proving that they are cut from the same disappointing cloth.
01:09:57What?
01:09:57What did I do?
01:10:00Silas, you wasted your chance.
01:10:03Don't come crawling to me when you finally realize it.
01:10:14What are you doing here, Silas?
01:10:16What?
01:10:17You've come to beg for your spot back at the Sterling house?
01:10:21Well, I hate to break it to you, but you're not welcome here anymore.
01:10:24What's the matter, Tristan?
01:10:25Sterling's took you out?
01:10:26Or maybe I just don't like you.
01:10:29Oh, man.
01:10:30Here's what these days.
01:10:31Got no respect.
01:10:32Don't call me kid.
01:10:34You asshole!
01:10:34I mean, if you hadn't messed up my dinner at the Japanese restaurant, I would be fucking
01:10:40delayed by now.
01:10:47Fucking hit me.
01:10:49Break his legs!
01:10:51Okay, Mr. Whiphog.
01:10:52Be careful there, chugs.
01:10:54Whatever you do right now, you can't undo.
01:10:56Big talk coming from a guy who was kicked on his ass to the street by the Sterlings.
01:11:01Now what the fuck are you guys waiting for?
01:11:03Get him!
01:11:04Get home!
01:11:15Wow.
01:11:16That's pretty impressive.
01:11:18I see where you get your attitude.
01:11:20But if you have forgotten, you fucked with the Whitmores.
01:11:22That's practically a death sentence.
01:11:25You're gonna keep talking or you can actually do something.
01:11:27You listen to me.
01:11:29The Whitmores, we're meeting with a very important VIP tonight.
01:11:32You might get on your knees and beg for my forgiveness, and I might just let this slide.
01:11:37And what if I told you that very important guest?
01:11:40That's me.
01:11:43I mean, you're kidding me, right?
01:11:45I mean, you're just a leech that suckles from the Sterlings.
01:11:49Do you think that VIP like you, who mooches off women, is that important?
01:11:54Hey, I'm here.
01:11:56Pick me up.
01:11:57Yes, sir.
01:11:58I'm on my way.
01:11:59The game's your foot.
01:12:00Let's go.
01:12:03Would you stop with this game?
01:12:04I mean, who are you really trying to fool?
01:12:12Uncle Mark?
01:12:13What are you doing here?
01:12:18Our utmost respect, Divine One.
01:12:24Mr. Lancaster is more than sufficient.
01:12:27As you wish, Mr. Lancaster.
01:12:29I can't be serious.
01:12:30I mean, he's just a freeloader for the Sterlings.
01:12:33Shut up!
01:12:34I am not in a giving vein today.
01:12:37Mr. Lancaster only humbled himself living with that family so he could honor Charles Sterling's
01:12:42dying witch.
01:12:44I mean, he's too young to be the VIP.
01:12:46Mr. Lancaster is immortal.
01:12:48He's looked exactly the same for over 2,000 years.
01:12:51Now you listen up.
01:12:53Sixty years ago when he arrived, Mr. Lancaster made New York's most powerful families and
01:12:58corporations alive.
01:13:01Every one of their leaders swore loyalty to him willingly.
01:13:08You're kidding, right?
01:13:09Yet it is.
01:13:10Now, get on your knees and apologize to Mr. Lancaster.
01:13:15Mr. Lancaster, I am so sorry.
01:13:17I had no idea it was you.
01:13:19Please find it in your heart.
01:13:24I apologize for two reasons.
01:13:25One, I'm leaving New York.
01:13:27I'm to the world again and I'll be back for a few decades.
01:13:31When you return, we will be here.
01:13:33The Whitmore loyalty is yours today, tomorrow, and from every generation after us.
01:13:38Second, the Sterling.
01:13:42Sir, don't worry.
01:13:43I myself will make sure that the Sterlings are well taken care of in your absence.
01:13:48No.
01:13:48Charles Sterling made a Sterling company 50 years ago.
01:13:52Williams now fit to it.
01:13:53Elaine is...
01:13:54Saragan.
01:13:55She's too young.
01:13:56The Sterlings will fail.
01:13:58You were right.
01:13:59As always.
01:14:01What do you need from us?
01:14:03True the Sterling group like any other company from here on out.
01:14:06No special treatment.
01:14:07No exceptions.
01:14:10Understood.
01:14:18Miss Sterling.
01:14:19Whitmore just froze the Hudson Yards project.
01:14:21They're questioning the company's qualifications and want to audit the entire project proposal.
01:14:25What?
01:14:26Our vendors are freaking out.
01:14:28Someone demanding payment in advance?
01:14:29What should we do?
01:14:31Just try to reassure them.
01:14:34I'll sort this out when I get in.
01:14:36Damn it.
01:14:37This was never part of the deal.
01:14:39Do we have the audit file they're asking for?
01:14:41No.
01:14:42Whitmore's benchmarks are sky high.
01:14:44Sterling can't deliver and honestly I can't even think of a company in New York that could.
01:14:48What the hell is wrong with the Whitmore's?
01:14:51Why mess with us?
01:14:52Wait.
01:14:53This has to be Tristan.
01:14:55You pissed him off and he's stormed out.
01:14:57This has to be payment.
01:14:58I don't think it's him.
01:15:00Who else could it be?
01:15:01Just call him and apologize.
01:15:04This business deal means everything for us.
01:15:08If Tristan really is trying to get back at us, do you actually think that apologizing would fix anything?
01:15:13Marry him.
01:15:15Marry him.
01:15:17He's into you and this is a perfect match for our families.
01:15:19What on earth are you talking about?
01:15:28You following me?
01:15:29Look, Uncle Mark, he told me to stick by you in case you need anything, so...
01:15:33Yeah.
01:15:34So he's hoping by you hanging around you'll, uh, lend me up?
01:15:37You don't miss a thing, do you, Mr. Lancaster?
01:15:40For Mark's sake.
01:15:41Sure.
01:15:42I'm gonna go for one more stroll around New York before I leave with the arrangements.
01:15:46Okay.
01:15:47Absolutely, Mr. Lancaster.
01:15:48I'll, I'll take care of all of it.
01:15:55Mr. Lancaster, can we get you some water?
01:15:57Okay.
01:15:57That's fine, but...
01:16:02What?
01:16:05I'll be right back.
01:16:06Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:16:07Tristan, what the hell?
01:16:08Your nose is so far up this loser's ass right now.
01:16:12You okay?
01:16:17What is wrong with you?
01:16:19You hit Gabriel over Silas?
01:16:21He kept you apart from Elaine for three years.
01:16:25What?
01:16:26No!
01:16:27No!
01:16:27Don't you two ever disrespect Mr. Lancaster again, okay?
01:16:32Otherwise we are done.
01:16:33Completely.
01:16:33What the hell?
01:16:34Does he have something on you or something?
01:16:36No, my respect for him is genuine.
01:16:39And here's a little piece of advice for you two.
01:16:40Mr. Lancaster's influence is far beyond anything you could ever imagine.
01:16:44You two better start showing him some respect, and real soon.
01:16:47Is Silas someone important?
01:16:50I don't know.
01:16:51The way that Tristan is acting, maybe?
01:16:54We better just apologize to him and get out of here, okay?
01:16:58Silas!
01:16:59Mr. Lancaster, we are very sorry we never meant any disrespect.
01:17:04Don't worry about it.
01:17:05You guys were never worth it.
01:17:07Right.
01:17:07Well, that's...
01:17:08Good, I guess.
01:17:14It's...
01:17:14The Sturmles.
01:17:17Tristan, honey.
01:17:18Elaine has something very important to say to you.
01:17:21Are you free right now?
01:17:22Maybe you could come over and have a chat.
01:17:24Sir, the Sturlings they want to meet you, should I turn them down?
01:17:28Let them come.
01:17:29You guys are welcome to come.
01:17:33I came as soon as I got your call.
01:17:35What's going on?
01:17:36We need to do a compliant audit for Hudson Yards, but we don't have the infrastructure set up yet.
01:17:42Your dad's an expert in that area.
01:17:44Is there any way he could help us?
01:17:46My dad's at a conference in Beijing, but I know someone who can.
01:17:49Please don't say Tristan.
01:17:51I was actually talking about Silas.
01:17:53Okay.
01:17:54I know I might sound crazy, but please just hear me out.
01:17:58Silas is actually a mythical being who has been alive for a long longer than we thought eventually.
01:18:22And it's a lot, I know.
01:18:26How could Silas possibly have anything to do with this?
01:18:29He's a complete nobody.
01:18:31I know it might be hard for you to believe, but Silas actually has a lot more power than you
01:18:36realize.
01:18:37So you know that I would never lie to you.
01:18:41Enough of this nonsense.
01:18:42Yes.
01:18:43Tristan's waiting.
01:18:44Elaine, let's go.
01:18:50Rebecca?
01:18:52Gabriel, what are you guys doing here?
01:18:53We just bumped into each other.
01:18:58Tristan, dear.
01:18:59You look more handsome every time I see you.
01:19:01Enough with the flattery, Miss Sherling.
01:19:03What are you really after?
01:19:04The Hudson Yards project seems to be put on hold, and we wondered if you could talk to your uncle.
01:19:10You know, smooth things over.
01:19:12Sorry, but I have no say in that.
01:19:14See? He has nothing to do with it.
01:19:16If you really want to talk to whoever calls the shots, you're going to have to speak to Mr. Lancaster
01:19:21himself.
01:19:22Mr. Lancaster?
01:19:24You mean Silas?
01:19:25Don't be ridiculous, Tristan. He doesn't have that kind of power.
01:19:29I mean, you guys only got the project because he was doing a favor for my Uncle Mark.
01:19:34Tristan, are you messing with me?
01:19:35Come on, everyone knows that you and Silas hate each other.
01:19:38You really expect me to believe a word of this?
01:19:40Would you believe it if I said it myself?
01:19:44Mr. Whitmore, how can we fix this Hudson Yards project?
01:19:48Mr. Whitmore, the Sterling Group might not have as much influence, but we signed a contract. You can't just push
01:19:55us around.
01:19:56Why do you think I gave you that contract in the first place?
01:19:58The Sterling Group clearly didn't meet the qualification. It was a favor to Mr. Lancaster.
01:20:04Since he's no longer tied to your family, well, business is business.
01:20:08My God. So was Silas all along.
01:20:11What are we supposed to do now?
01:20:13I told you Elaine Silas was a good man, but no. Just had to go and divorce him.
01:20:17Silas!
01:20:18Now, I know you're here.
01:20:29Don't you want to teach you a lesson, Sil?
01:20:32What did you learn?
01:20:34What, so that's what this is about? You wanted to see me break down, beg for your forgiveness?
01:20:40Oh, well, guess what? That is never gonna happen.
01:20:45Look, I don't know how you got to the Whitmore's, but Sterling Group will be just fine without Hudson Yards.
01:20:50We have plenty of other deals lined up.
01:20:52The truth is right in front of you. You're just choosing not to believe it.
01:20:55How do you explain the two harbor shipping licenses I secured last week?
01:21:00Massive shipments, worth billions, moving in and out every day. You're telling me that's because of you, too?
01:21:11Hey, the Sterling shipping license.
01:21:14Answer. Both ports.
01:21:16Yeah, immediately. Thanks so much.
01:21:19You're still keeping up this little act, Silas?
01:21:23You really think that if you just snap your fingers you can shut us down?
01:21:27Any second now.
01:21:28What?
01:21:36Miss Sterling, something's wrong. We just heard from the Port Authority. They're suspending both of our shipping licenses.
01:21:41What? Why is this happening to me?
01:21:44I worked so hard for all of this. It's over. I've lost everything.
01:21:52Elaine, don't say that. Silas is still here. You can fix this.
01:21:56So those contracts? All the partnerships? They were all because of you?
01:22:02You believe me now?
01:22:03All this time you were helping us from behind the scenes.
01:22:08Everything we have is because of you.
01:22:11God, I paraded around, proud, arrogant, showing off in front of you like a complete fool.
01:22:18You put up with three years of that. God, you must have hated every minute of it.
01:22:23It doesn't matter now. I just did what a husband should do.
01:22:27And what you're always asked. That's all.
01:22:30I'm so sorry, Silas.
01:22:33I was terrible to you. I pushed you away. I blamed you for everything.
01:22:39As soon as we got divorced, I regretted it immediately.
01:22:41And I searched everywhere for you.
01:22:45But when I finally found you and had the chance to tell you, I let my pride get in the
01:22:51way.
01:22:51And I destroyed us all over again. I am so sorry. So sorry.
01:22:58It's true. Elaine's been miserable since the divorce.
01:23:02Yeah, totally. She tried to come back, but...
01:23:04I know.
01:23:06Silas used to wait here for me after work.
01:23:13I know you're sorry, and I accept your apology.
01:23:16And if you want, I can get Sterling Group back on track.
01:23:20I want to rebuild Sterling on my own.
01:23:22I just have one last question for you, Silas.
01:23:27These three years, you never really loved me.
01:23:31That your kindness and your patience, it was just pity, wasn't it?
01:23:36I'm sorry.
01:23:38Adrian, you were never really equals.
01:23:42But I'm going to change that, step by step, on my own.
01:23:46And maybe one day, you'll finally respect me.
01:23:49I'm looking forward to it.
01:23:55I guess she really has changed.
01:23:59Yeah, she really has.
01:24:02So, Coach, what's next for you?
01:24:04I don't know.
01:24:06Because I'll leave New York.
01:24:07To the world.
01:24:08We're back in a few years, though.
01:24:09So it's changed.
01:24:10Take it easy, people.
01:24:15Damn, Fiona.
01:24:16You are so into him.
01:24:17I am not.
01:24:18I know.
01:24:19Please, we're not blind.
01:24:20Look, everyone deserves a chance at happiness.
01:24:23So what are you waiting for?
01:24:26Silas, wait.
01:24:28Take me with you.
01:24:29Take me with you.
01:24:30I'm not.
01:24:31I don't know.
01:24:32I'm not.
01:24:32I don't know.
01:24:33I'm not.
01:24:34I'm not.
01:24:35I'm not.
