00:00:00My mentor, 2,000 years, and you haven't aged today.
00:00:07I only got to follow you for a few decades, and now, death's at my door.
00:00:18Grandpa, please. You're too sick to be out here in this weather.
00:00:22Whoever's coming can wait. Your health comes first.
00:00:26No, death, 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.
00:01:12A few years been buying a blink, huh?
00:01:14Yeah.
00:01:15I forgot how much time passed.
00:01:17Time catches up to everyone, except you.
00:01:21So, who are you these days? No fun?
00:01:24Keepin' it easy. Part-time swim coach.
00:01:31So am I.
00:01:34You're done.
00:01:36You can tell me Charles now.
00:01:37What 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.
00:02:02Oh, do you want me?
00:02:05After three years. After that, the students are on their own.
00:02:08Thank you, Mr. Lancaster.
00:02:09Of course.
00:02:10What do I tell me, Charles? How do you expect me to fit in with them?
00:02:13Don't worry. I'm proud of you.
00:02:18Hey!
00:02:20What's going on? Are you okay?
00:02:22Elaine, I need you to... I want to introduce you to somebody.
00:02:25This is so funny.
00:02:25I'm Silas Lancaster. And, um, starting tonight, he's your husband.
00:02:33Grandpa, what are you talking about? I don't even know this guy and I'm already in love with someone else.
00:02:38Dad, what the hell are you talking about? Who is this man?
00:02:42Mr. Lancaster is a respected college swimming coach and a far better man than whoever Elaine thinks she's in love
00:02:50with.
00:02:50Mom, 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. Do as your grandfather asks. He knows what's best.
00:03:14She's right, sweetheart. I'll arrange the marriage as well.
00:03:18Don't worry, Dad. I'll wake it up.
00:03:26Alright, Grandpa. I'll marry him.
00:03:31It's the only way to make sure Mr. Lancaster watches over my family and our legacy for the next three
00:03:38years.
00:03:55We're here to put the Sterling facility out of commission for good. Understand?
00:04:01Yeah, the loss. Good. Let's go.
00:04:11What the hell are you? Get the fuck out of here!
00:04:14Get on over here.
00:04:23Get out of here.
00:04:33He's a fucking monster.
00:04:37Run!
00:04:56Where the hell are you?
00:04:57Uh, Sterling factory in Jersey. Why?
00:05:00What are you even doing there?
00:05:02Okay, never mind. Get to Club Fulce in Soho. You've got 10 minutes.
00:05:0810 minutes? Don't get in cabin time.
00:05:11Not my problem. Figure it out.
00:05:17Well, what did the old ball in chain say?
00:05:20He said, sure, of course.
00:05:22Nice. Alright, game on.
00:05:2610 minutes. 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. Silas 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.
00:05:50But he 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.
00:06:03Perfect.
00:06:06He actually approaches a D1 program.
00:06:09They're gonna be going to nationals.
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.
00:06:23Your 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 the Italian office.
00:06:38But 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.
00:07:00So, Gabriel.
00:07:08Damn, Elaine.
00:07:10You really trained him well.
00:07:13You called.
00:07:14Is everything okay?
00:07:15Are you blind?
00:07:17I'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...
00:07:26My 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...
00:07:37How good are you to me anyway, Silas?
00:07:43Please, take care of my family for the next three years.
00:07:52Oh, come on.
00:07:56Elaine and I were just playing a little game called...
00:07:59Dog whistle.
00:08:02We bet that no matter where you were, if she called you, you would show up straight away like a
00:08:07good boy.
00:08:08I 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?
00:08:22You called me. I thought you were in trouble.
00:08:25About years behind my back calling me a dumb chud of your friends?
00:08:27That's right.
00:08:29Okay.
00:08:31Wait, are you, like, pissed or something?
00:08:34Oh, because I...
00:08:36I'm just getting started.
00:08:46I'm just getting started.
00:08:47Oh!
00:08:52Well, if you hate it that much, then you can leave. I am not stopping with that.
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 haven'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. Only three days left.
00:09:21Time's up. The Sterlings will 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.
00:09:44Elaine just humiliated you in front of everyone, and you're still willing to be her personal Uber?
00:09:51Talk about desperate.
00:09:52Yes, that's the secret to being a kept man. No shame. No spine.
00:09:59Thanks, but I'll get home myself.
00:10:09Elaine didn't mean to humiliate you. She's just, she's got a temper. That's all. Try not to take it to
00:10:15heart.
00:10:19Didn't mean to humiliate me.
00:10:22Whatever. Three more days, then 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. He's a fucking demon.
00:10:37Makes sense. John Sterling's no gun.
00:10:40Sun's useless. Hunter's spoiled.
00:10:43And yet they still own the fucking world's medicine scavenage.
00:10:47Ah, I guess now we know why. They've got something in human going to the fucking empire.
00:10:52Let's get the hell out of the fucking New York tonight. I'm not running to the fucking freak ever again.
00:11:00You're back. Come sit down.
00:11:10Where the hell have you been? It's already late and dinner's not even ready. Did 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. We let you live here, eat our food, and now you don't even want to cook?
00:11:30You really are ungrateful. You 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 and ready 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 save 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?
00:12:26We'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.
00:12:39Your 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 at 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.
00:13:28Don'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.
00:13:55I'm outside.
00:14:12I couldn't wait to see you. It'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.
00:14:31Uh, Tristan, I'm sorry, but...
00:14:34I'm married.
00:14:36I know. It's, uh...
00:14:39To Silas.
00:14:40Who's this stray dog that you picked up?
00:14:42But now that I'm back, you can cancel this joke wedding and...
00:14:45Elaine?
00:14:47Will you marry me?
00:14:50Tristan, I'm glad that you're back, but this is too much.
00:14:54Too 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...
00:15:04Honestly, just seeing you tonight...
00:15:05I mean, that was enough for me.
00:15:08Good night.
00:15:11Tristan.
00:15:13Yeah?
00:15:14I 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?
00:15:22Can you help me land the deal?
00:15:24I can help you, Evan. No way.
00:15:27Tristan, if I can pull this deal off, I will owe you.
00:15:30Big 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.
00:15:37So, you should probably go back inside.
00:15:39I'll talk to you tomorrow.
00:15:41Great.
00:15:56I can sleep.
00:15:58Lots of 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?
00:16:08You know, since we got married, you've done everything for me.
00:16:12Never had a bad temper, never complained.
00:16:16You'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.
00:16:36Sleep.
00:16:45Hello?
00:16:46Hi, Uncle Mark.
00:16:47I know it's late, but...
00:16:48I need a favor.
00:16:50Hudson Yards.
00:16:52Look, I'm gonna stop you right there.
00:16:54That deal is done.
00:16:56We'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, I 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
00:17:31your expectations.
00:17:36Don't worry, Miss Sterling.
00:17:39Hudson Yards is yours.
00:17:44Contract's already drawn up. Just 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.
00:17:51Someone 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.
00:18:13It 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.
00:18:37Are you 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.
00:18:48Am I...
00:18:48Look, 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...
00:19:27I 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 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?
00:20:02I...
00:20:02Are you drinking?
00:20:04God, will you drop it already?
00:20:06I am hanging out...
00:20:07Wait, 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.
00:20:29Uh, I'm treating Tristan to lunch because 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.
00:20:44I'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 ooch.
00:20:55Hey, Elaine, 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?
00:21:09Yeah.
00:21:11Cheers.
00:21:11Cheers.
00:21:11To us.
00:21:14To us.
00:21:15To our past.
00:21:25I should go.
00:21:27It's...
00:21:27It's getting...
00:21:28Wait, hey, hey, hey.
00:21:30Hey, Elaine.
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'll leave you now.
00:21:46You're even more beautiful than I remember.
00:21:49Never stopped mourning, babe.
00:21:51No...
00:21:51Tristan, stop.
00:21:52I'm married.
00:21:54Look, look, look, look.
00:21:57I can't resist you.
00:21:58No, Tristan, 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.
00:22:05I want us to be together.
00:22:05Dump silence.
00:22:06Together, our families will be the most powerful in the city.
00:22:11No, don't! No!
00:22:22Silas?
00:22:23No!
00:22:24He actually fights?
00:22:26Hey! No! Silas! Silas, stop!
00:22:30Leave him alone!
00:22:31So, you're Silas, huh?
00:22:34The loser who's been leeching off of her for years?
00:22:36Well, you know, now that you hit me, let me finish.
00:22:44Silas, apologize to Tristan now.
00:22:48Silas, apologize to Tristan now.
00:22:51He've brought himself on top of you. He want me to apologize-
00:22:54Apologize.
00:23:02I'm sorry.
00:23:07Good boy.
00:23:09You know, I'm gonna slide this hat.
00:23:12Just for Elaine's sake.
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!
00:23:23It was my fault!
00:23:23Okay, it's fine.
00:23:25Look, it's late.
00:23:26Maybe we should just go.
00:23:28We'll talk later, right?
00:23:30Can I talk to you later?
00:23:47Elaine, how did it go with Mr. Whitmore?
00:23:49Did you get the Hudson Yards project?
00:23:51Judging by that look?
00:23:53I'm guessing not.
00:23:57What?
00:23:58What?
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, ever.
00:24:26You think Tristan got you Hudson Yards?
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.
00:25:00But 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.
00:25:14Tristan was drunk! He 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... just 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 because
00:25:38his nephew asked nicely.
00:25:41Okay, well then who vouched for us?
00:25:44I don't know. It could be 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. I'd never cross that line.
00:25:57Look, 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.
00:26:22But now you think that you can lecture me?
00:26:25You'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 a face reality.
00:26:36Call me spoiled all you want, but you protect me.
00:26:41Really?
00:26:43Driving me around, cooking, driving, waiting around for me?
00:26:48That is not protection, that's pathetic.
00:26:52Tomorrow my promised chief grandfather ends.
00:26:55Time 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.
00:27:12How I guess Tristan really got under your skin, huh?
00:27:16You're actually saying that Sterling Group would fall apart without you.
00:27:20I'm just telling you the truth.
00:27:22Launch 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, Dad, 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 loser.
00:27:50Alright, Silas, listen.
00:27:52You crossed the line.
00:27:54What?
00:27:56I am generous enough to give you another chance.
00:28:00Say you're sorry.
00:28:02And 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.
00:28:44Let'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.
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.
00:29:09But what if Silas changes his mind?
00:29:11We know how obsessed he is with Elaine.
00:29:14Then 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.
00:29:20Even if he changes his mind,
00:29:23I'm not forgiving him this time.
00:29:25Just forget that loser.
00:29:27Well, if no one's cooking,
00:29:29looks like we're going out.
00:29:31Why don't you choose?
00:29:32I'm not hungry.
00:29:33You guys go ahead.
00:30:01Honey?
00:30:03What now?
00:30:05Look.
00:30:08Silas?
00:30:09Had 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.
00:30:19Unless he wants us to look like the bad guys or something.
00:30:23If he apologizes to you tomorrow,
00:30:27maybe you should think about taking a bath.
00:30:31Been working on that Hudson Yards deal for a while now.
00:30:35Need some rest.
00:30:37Here. Want a massage?
00:30:39I 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,
00:30:51say you're sorry,
00:30:52and we can pretend like this divorce BS never happened.
00:31:00Hey, I'm talking to you.
00:31:03You know what I mean?
00:31:05What?
00:31:07It's rough.
00:31:11Still bluffing?
00:31:12Let's see how you act at the courthouse tomorrow.
00:31:15You know what I mean?
00:31:33Goodbye, Elaine.
00:31:37But today, our deal ends.
00:31:38From now on, the Sterlings are on their own.
00:32:04I have 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. I'll give you another chance.
00:32:46Sit down. Join us.
00:32:49I already ate. When you guys finish, we'll go to the courthouse and send the divorce papers.
00:32:55What?
00:32:58Okay, that is enough, Silas. 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? He has options?
00:33:16Divorce him, sweetheart. He'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.
00:33:30Wait.
00:33:32Sign it first.
00:33:34And...
00:33:34Then, we're going.
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.
00:34:03This car belongs to the Sterling, so, uh...
00:34:08That's real.
00:34:08Who?
00:34:11Oh, my God.
00:34:13I just realized...
00:34:15Three years, then Silas never really owned a single thing.
00:34:20Even his car wasn't really his.
00:34:23It was just there to drive him around.
00:34:26All right.
00:34:27That's it, then.
00:34:29Goodbye for good.
00:34:40So...
00:34:40What 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?
00:34:48Some lame attempt to make me feel guilty?
00:34:51Sad?
00:34:53Well, screw you.
00:34:54Cause I am not falling for it.
00:35:06He threw this away?
00:35:09Should I really not mean anything to him?
00:35:14Where's Silas?
00:35:17So, it's...
00:35:19Is it official?
00:35:20You two are actually divorced?
00:35:22He didn't make a scene?
00:35:23And 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.
00:35:39I 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, Tristan came back to town.
00:36:23Once he hears that Elaine is divorced, I'm sure he'll come running.
00:36:28That'll cheer her up.
00:36:31there you go.
00:36:47You must be alone of Tristan.
00:36:47That'll be right.
00:36:47Oh, Tristan, I'm so scared.
00:36:48Yeah, when I see a fun game,
00:36:49I'm gonna get like out of it.
00:36:53It's fine.
00:36:54Love you.
00:36:54It's okay.
00:36:55I'm so scared.
00:36:55We're so scared.
00:36:56I'm so scared.
00:36:58You're right.
00:36:59I 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
00:37:19Was this on purpose?
00:37:20Is this your way of punishing me by erasing yourself from my life?
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 makes 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 to celebrate your divorce. We're at Tristan's house. Get over here!
00:38:06No, Rebecca, I'm not really in the...
00:38:09Hello?
00:38:10No, Rebecca?
00:38:28Elaine, congrats!
00:38:30I mean, freedom's never looked so good on you.
00:38:42Thanks
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 last time I saw her. I think she might still be mad
00:38:59Well, she's single again. Golden opportunity like this doesn't fall into your lap every day. Don't screw it up.
00:39:06I won't let her slip this down.
00:39:15Fiona can't make it. We're swamped with exams.
00:39:19She told us to take care of Elaine without her.
00:39:23Let's start.
00:39:25Elaine, today's all about you.
00:39:28Come on, say something!
00:39:30What's it like being single again?
00:39:33What's it like being single again?
00:39:38I...
00:39:38Don't really feel anything.
00:39:42I...
00:39:43Don't really feel anything.
00:39:45It's all good. Just say whatever comes to mind, Elaine.
00:39:48Yeah.
00:39:49We know the past three years sucked for you.
00:39:52So now that you've finally got rid of that loser Silas, you must have something to say.
00:39:57Uh...
00:39:58These last three years have been...
00:40:02Rough.
00:40:03You all know that my grandfather chose Silas, not 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 and 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...
00:40:38Maybe Silas spoiled you.
00:40:39I mean, he was waiting on you hand and foot and for him to just suddenly be gone?
00:40:43Like...
00:40:43That's probably fair.
00:40:44Yeah, that guy 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.
00:40:55Didn't leave a single trace behind.
00:40:57Well, there's one way to find out.
00:41:00Let's play...
00:41:01Dog Whistle!
00:41:08That's perfect!
00:41:09Okay, Elaine.
00:41:10Call him.
00:41:11We're kind of far from the city, so let's give him, say, 15 minutes to get here.
00:41:15Okay.
00:41:16Come on, guy.
00:41:17I am divorced now.
00:41:20Elaine, it'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?
00:41:26Really?
00:41:27It's too far.
00:41:29It's too far.
00:41:2915 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 you won't show up this time?
00:41:40Come on, Elaine.
00:41:41Don't be such a buzzkill.
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 lap dog 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, what are you doing?
00:42:13No, there is no way that Silas would block Elaine.
00:42:17He's probably playing some game with her to get her attention.
00:42:20I mean, exactly.
00:42:22That 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.
00:42:43Wait, so you're saying you're going to give him another chance?
00:42:45Relax, man.
00:42:47We'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 that 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?
00:43:25I mean, like, okay, he's pathetic.
00:43:27But 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.
00:43:40Then we're done.
00:43:41You're out of the Sterling family for good.
00:43:44So that's it then.
00:43:46Goodbye for good.
00:43:50Hey, hey, hey, Helen, are you okay?
00:43:52My chest hurts.
00:43:54I'm calling 911.
00:43:55No, no, no, no, no.
00:43:56I'll be okay.
00:43:57Wait, wait, wait.
00:43:58Everybody back up!
00:43:59Keep her air!
00:44:01Jeez.
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.
00:44:26Maybe check there?
00:44:27We barely know the guy, Elaine.
00:44:29You're the one who was married to him for three years.
00:44:31You seriously don't know where he lived?
00:44:34I guess not.
00:44:36You never went to his place?
00:44:39No.
00:44:40Never.
00:44:43Wait, you guys were married for three years and you never went to his house?
00:44:47Look, 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?
00:44:55Well, everyone knows it was a fake marriage anyway.
00:44:59Elaine, does he have any friends or family we could contact?
00:45:02No, I never met any of his friends, let alone his family.
00:45:06Elaine.
00:45:08For three years, Silas took care of everything.
00:45:12What 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.
00:45:23He left with nothing.
00:45:25He even returned to the car, then he drove around it.
00:45:27Wait, so then what was he after?
00:45:32Elaine, of course.
00:45:34She's gorgeous.
00:45:35She's smart.
00:45:36She's sexy, Eddie.
00:45:38What 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.
00:45:47All right, let's forget about Silas, and let's just have some fun.
00:45:52Yeah?
00:45:53Get yourself a drink.
00:45:54No, 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.
00:46:25Silas, where are you?
00:46:27Just tell me what game you're playing.
00:46:37Can you do me a huge favor?
00:46:50What was that?
00:46:51What was that?
00:46:51Can you see?
00:46:55Hey, Fiona.
00:46:57Got plans tonight?
00:46:58I've got VIP tickets to the Rangers game.
00:47:01I have plans tonight, Bradley.
00:47:03Busy.
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.
00:47:15I could.
00:47:16Coach you.
00:47:19One on one.
00:47:20Yeah?
00:47:25Who the hell are you?
00:47:27Can't you see I'm busy?
00:47:28Yeah, so, Coach Smith is out today.
00:47:31How about your sub?
00:47:32Coach Lancaster.
00:47:34Is that Elaine's ex-husband?
00:47:36He coaches college swimming part-time?
00:47:39Yeah.
00:47:40Coach 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 goddamn swim team.
00:47:53Look, I don't care if you're the champion or the tenium.
00:47:56While I'm here, listen to me.
00:47:58He doesn't seem as spineless as Elaine said.
00:48:02Why 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.
00:48:12Coach qualified?
00:48:13You think you can handle a little challenge?
00:48:16Challenge?
00:48:17What are you thinking?
00:48:18A race.
00:48:20You beat me?
00:48:21I'll admit you're good enough to coach us.
00:48:23Sure.
00:48:24Sounds good.
00:48:24Let's do it.
00:48:25Oh.
00:48:27Not so fast.
00:48:28If you lose, you have to strip naked and 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 here.
00:48:51Coach Lancaster, you don't have to take the challenge.
00:48:54No, it's fine.
00:48:56I haven't swam 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, man.
00:49:10Go, Bradley.
00:49:10Lock him.
00:49:11Lock 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 now.
00:49:26Wow.
00:49:27Those abs.
00:49:29Okay.
00:49:30Definitely didn't see those coming.
00:49:32Hey, old man.
00:49:33Haven'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.
00:49:44All right, Coach Lancaster.
00:49:46We got this.
00:49:47Come on.
00:49:49The last time I swam across the Pacific was, what?
00:49:53500 years ago?
00:49:54Got to miss that.
00:49:59We got this.
00:50:00We got this.
00:50:01We got this.
00:50:02We got this.
00:50:02We got this.
00:50:03We got this.
00:50:03We got this.
00:50:04We got this.
00:50:05We got this.
00:50:07We got this.
00:50:08We got this.
00:50:08We got this.
00:50:09We got this.
00:50:10We got this.
00:50:15Why is it freezing all of a sudden?
00:50:26There's a shark!
00:50:27There's a fucking shark!
00:50:28Oh my...
00:50:31A shark?
00:50:32Okay.
00:50:39Coach Lancaster touches first.
00:50:41Bradley bailed halfway.
00:50:42The race goes to the coach.
00:50:43Woo!
00:50:44Let's go, coach!
00:50:50Bradley, I saw a fucking shark.
00:50:55Shark.
00:50:56Shark.
00:50:57Shark.
00:50:58I guess we're gonna need a bigger pool.
00:51:01Sorry, Bradley.
00:51:02No one saw anything weird.
00:51:04You're really doubling down on this whole shark sighting?
00:51:08Am I seeing things?
00:51:09God, I've gotta be lazy.
00:51:11Too much damn stress.
00:51:12I'm a 500-meter butterfly.
00:51:14I give you a 400-meter head start.
00:51:16That sounds fair.
00:51:22No.
00:51:23No.
00:51:23I'm just...
00:51:24I'm off my game.
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 creeping on girls.
00:51:37I'm glad someone finally knocked him down a notch.
00:51:53Girl.
00:51:55Girl.
00:51:57Admit it, you have a...
00:51:58You have a thing for Coach Lancaster.
00:52:00No.
00:52:01That's not true.
00:52:02No.
00:52:03I do not.
00:52:04It's not true.
00:52:07I swear.
00:52:09Don't look at me like that.
00:52:17Alright guys.
00:52:18Good practice today.
00:52:19Have a good one and uh...
00:52:27Coach Lancaster.
00:52:28Coach Lancaster.
00:52:28Like...
00:52:29You really don't remember me?
00:52:31Should I?
00:52:33I mean...
00:52:34We've met a few times.
00:52:35I'm Fiona Ashford.
00:52:37Elaine's best friend.
00:52:39Yeah.
00:52:40Yeah, that's right.
00:52:42Um...
00:52:43Did you...
00:52:44Did you need something?
00:52:46No.
00:52:47Great.
00:52:48Have 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.
00:53:05Are you okay?
00:53:06My stomach...
00:53:07It hurts.
00:53:10It hurts right here.
00:53:12Abs feel hard and tight.
00:53:14How do you know?
00:53:15It's an abdominal muscle spasm.
00:53:17It happens when you don't warm up properly before swimming.
00:53:19Great.
00:53:20The student health center's probably closed by now.
00:53:23Don't worry.
00:53:24I can...
00:53:24I can call an ambulance.
00:53:26No way.
00:53:26I'll pass out before it ever gets here.
00:53:30Well, I know something that might help, but...
00:53:33You gotta trust me.
00:53:34You can take this pain away?
00:53:36What do you...
00:53:37You know sports medicine or something?
00:53:40Not exactly.
00:53:42It's just a truth I picked up from an old dealer.
00:53:46Or I can do all the animals.
00:53:48No.
00:53:48No.
00:53:49Please just...
00:53:50Just help me.
00:53:52Okay.
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, but just try to relax and keep your eyes closed.
00:54:16Alright?
00:54:37Alright?
00:54:38Yes.
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 you.
00:54:52You 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, uh...
00:55:13Anyways.
00:55:14Just, uh, warm up properly.
00:55:17Some dry clothes on when you finish swimming and, uh, should be good.
00:55:21I'll be more diligent.
00:55:23I promise.
00:55:24Well, I, uh...
00:55:26Cause I should be going good.
00:55:28Wait.
00:55:29Are you gonna be running next swim practice, too?
00:55:33Yeah.
00:55:34Yeah, looks like it.
00:55:37Um...
00:55:37Do you maybe want to get lunch after?
00:55:41My treat.
00:55:42Just...
00:55:42A 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.
00:55:52Seriously?
00:55:54Near, I thought that we were finally getting somewhere.
00:56:14It's been a whole week, and there's still no news of you.
00:56:20Silas, did you really disappear from my life for good?
00:56:28Elaine?
00:56:30Where have you been?
00:56:31We've all been trying to reach you for days.
00:56:32Just...
00:56:33Work's been crazy.
00:56:35So you know that you can talk to me, right?
00:56:37So what's next for you?
00:56:39Got any plans after the divorce?
00:56:42I heard Tristan's back in town.
00:56:44You two getting back together?
00:56:45Didn't know you were such a gossip, Fiona.
00:56:47What?
00:56:49Honestly, 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.
00:57:00If 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.
00:57:09But...
00:57:09This time feels...
00:57:11Final.
00:57:14So that's it then.
00:57:17Bye for good.
00:57:21Maybe...
00:57:21He just...
00:57:23Got tired.
00:57:24He got tired?
00:57:25Are you saying that Silas was the one who wanted the divorce?
00:57:28Or so.
00:57:29I was the one who ended.
00:57:30For what it's worth, Elaine.
00:57:33I think that Silas is a really good man.
00:57:39Come on.
00:57:44I think maybe you should take some time to think things through.
00:57:47Don't let pride make you walk away from someone that really cares about you.
00:57:51You really think he's a good man?
00:57:53A good man doesn't freeload off of my family for three years.
00:57:57He sure as hell doesn't marry a woman who's already in love with someone else.
00:58:01Wasn't Silas a victim too?
00:58:03I mean, your grandfather forced that marriage on the both of you.
00:58:06He was just trying to honor his wishes.
00:58:09And no matter how badly you treated him, Silas never lost his temper.
00:58:13Doesn't that have to count for something?
00:58:18You called me.
00:58:19I thought you were in trouble.
00:58:21But you were just behind my back calling me a dumb chud to your friends?
00:58:24That's right.
00:58:25Then we're done.
00:58:26You are out of the Sterling family for good.
00:58:31Maybe you're right, Fiona.
00:58:34But it doesn't matter. We're already divorced.
00:58:37You were married to Silas for three years.
00:58:39But you never really knew each other.
00:58:43Maybe this divorce could be the chance to start things over.
00:58:46Sit down with him as equals.
00:58:48Talk things through.
00:58:50You both deserve at least that much.
00:58:53I'd love to.
00:58:55But 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?
00:59:03He's been subbing as a swim coach at my university.
00:59:06Is he gonna be there tomorrow?
00:59:08Yeah, I think so.
00:59:11Elaine, what's going on?
00:59:12You look kind of tense.
00:59:14It's nothing. It's just a slight headache.
00:59:17Come on. I'll take you home.
00:59:21Black Ivory Coffee.
00:59:23Your favorite coffee.
00:59:24I had it flown in from Thailand this morning just for you.
00:59:28You're trying to butter me up.
00:59:29What 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.
00:59:37And I have been dying to help out with the family business.
00:59:40I was thinking I could take point on the Hudson Yards.
00:59:43That is a great idea.
00:59:45It's good to see you stepping up for the family.
00:59:48Thank you so much. I will not let you down, okay?
00:59:53Oh, I also did want to ask.
00:59:55I heard that there was going to be a VIP guest at the Waitmore Estate.
00:59:59Who exactly is that person?
01:00:09Tristan, tell me, have you ever seen a god?
01:00:14Are you being serious? I haven't seen a god.
01:00:16I don't think anyone has seen a god.
01:00:19You'd be surprised.
01:00:21Imagine 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.
01:00:34And they have a speed and a strength beyond human capabilities.
01:00:40What would you call him?
01:00:412,000 years, you say, huh?
01:00:43Is there really a person like that?
01:00:45The world is a strange place, Tristan.
01:00:47Just because you haven't seen him, that doesn't mean he isn't.
01:00:53All right, guys.
01:00:54Practice.
01:00:55Go home.
01:01:03There's one.
01:01:05I couldn't get the butterfly stroke, would you show me?
01:01:07It's Coach Lancaster and Ron Cam.
01:01:09Fine.
01:01:11Coach Lancaster, could you please show me the butterfly again?
01:01:15Better.
01:01:15Coach Lancaster.
01:01:17Hi.
01:01:18I've been expecting you.
01:01:19Great to see you again.
01:01:22Oh, I'm sorry.
01:01:23Are you guys in the middle of something?
01:01:25No, it can wait.
01:01:26Okay.
01:01:27Great.
01:01:28Then I'd like to have a word with you in my office.
01:01:31Yeah, of course.
01:01:32Why is Dean Brown fanboying all over Silas?
01:01:36Is he really just a part-time swim coach?
01:01:43Wait.
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 to stay in contact with.
01:01:56We're divorced now.
01:01:57Why keep it?
01:01:58So you just disappear?
01:02:00You walk 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.
01:02:09You didn't.
01:02:11Sit down with those hate things.
01:02:13Talk things through.
01:02:14We both deserve that much.
01:02:18You're right.
01:02:20I was the one who brought up the divorce.
01:02:24But I wasn't serious.
01:02:25Look, I just want to talk to you.
01:02:28Can you please give me a chance?
01:02:41What?
01:02:42You used to pull out my chair for me every single time we went out.
01:02:47Didn't take you long to drop that habit, did it?
01:02:49We were divorced.
01:02:50That's the past.
01:02:54You...
01:02:58Fine.
01:02:59We're not a couple anymore, but we're still friends.
01:03:03You could still pull out my chair for me.
01:03:07Show a little gentlemanly courtesy, right?
01:03:09We're not friends.
01:03:10I'm not going to be a gentleman.
01:03:11You don't get to play with my emotions anymore.
01:03:13What did you just say?
01:03:14Okay, so you didn't come here to have a conversation.
01:03:16This was a mistake.
01:03:17Uh, I'm going to go.
01:03:19How long do you plan on sulking for?
01:03:21You think I'm sulking?
01:03:22Look, maybe I was too harsh before.
01:03:27But it's been days, Silas.
01:03:29I swallowed my pride to talk things through.
01:03:32Don't you think it's time to let that all go?
01:03:34Okay, so you admit you've been harsh.
01:03:36Yes.
01:03:37I was wrong.
01:03:39I admit.
01:03:40That's why I'm here.
01:03:42To 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.
01:03:52If you come back, I won't be so hard on you.
01:03:56Maybe give you more spending money?
01:03:58So you want me to come back home and be a good boy for treats?
01:04:02Is that it?
01:04:03I 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.
01:04:09No, what you're saying is you want me to come back and cook for you and clean for you and
01:04:13be a servant to your family.
01:04:15That's not a good life.
01:04:16I don't-
01:04:16Don'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.
01:04:25But you didn't.
01:04:26You came back to throw crumbs off your high horse.
01:04:28Because of that, I'm gonna go.
01:04:34Hey.
01:04:36I came here.
01:04:37Out 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.
01:04:49I run half of the deals in this city.
01:04:52You really think that you can play games with me?
01:04:54You think you run half of the deals?
01:04:56That's really funny.
01:04:57Do 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?
01:05:02Who the hell do you think you are, Silas?
01:05:04You keep talking to me like that.
01:05:06I swear to God, I will take back every single thing I've ever given you.
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:09What was that?
01:05:11You're taking back everything you gave me.
01:05:14Please, 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.
01:05:21What?
01:05:22Tearing you like this?
01:05:24Charles Sterling made this company fifty years ago and you're going to be the one to destroy it.
01:05:29You are still the same spoiled princess who never faced reality.
01:05:32You haven't learned your lesson.
01:05:33I feel like now is the time I should finally teach you that lesson.
01:05:37Well, please.
01:05:38By all means, great and powerful Silas, show me the error of my ways.
01:05:43Hey, guys.
01:05:44Why are we fighting?
01:05:46I thought you said that you were going to talk things through, Aline.
01:05:49Start over, remember?
01:05:50Yeah, that's not necessary anymore.
01:05:53You were wrong, Fiona.
01:05:54Silas is not a good man.
01:05:56He was just a pathetic clown.
01:05:58No, you must have misunderstood something.
01:06:00Silas isn't like that.
01:06:02He's a decent person.
01:06:03Seriously?
01:06:04The man has no real job.
01:06:06He just sponges off of women.
01:06:09He is all swagger and no substance.
01:06:11What is so decent about that?
01:06:13He's not like that at all.
01:06:14You have it all wrong.
01:06:16Whose side are you on here, Fiona?
01:06:17Aren'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.
01:06:36Shut up, Fiona.
01:06:38If you think he's so great, then fine.
01:06:40He is all yours.
01:06:42Just don't ever speak to me again.
01:06:45Elaine, wait!
01:06:48I'm sorry.
01:06:50Elaine's just upset.
01:06:52That's all.
01:06:53No, don't defend her.
01:06:55She's still the same prideful Judd who is driven by ego
01:06:58and won't learn her lesson until life finally knocks her down.
01:07:02Knocks her down?
01:07:10Dad, why would Dean Brown act deferential towards someone?
01:07:14Warren Brown deferential?
01:07:15I find that hard to imagine.
01:07:17He comes from old money.
01:07:19He's one of the most respected professors.
01:07:21He's worked with some of the most influential politicians and CEOs in the country.
01:07:25In this city, they defer to him, not the other weird one.
01:07:30Weird.
01:07:32I definitely watched him totally fawn all over some of the time.
01:07:35What? Who was that?
01:07:37Warren Brown says it's time for you to wait.
01:07:39The President will wait for him.
01:07:40I find it hard to even earn that level of respect from him.
01:07:44Wow, so Dean Brown's really that big of a deal?
01:07:49So Silas can't be just some part-time coach.
01:07:53I need to tell Elaine.
01:07:59Oh, Elaine, you're here.
01:08:01Tristan, what are you doing here?
01:08:04Well, you know, Uncle Mark, he 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.
01:08:13You don't need to meet privately with me to discuss things.
01:08:16Elaine, don't be so rude.
01:08:19This project has a lot of details.
01:08:22It's a big deal for us.
01:08:23Please, talk with Tristan.
01:08:25There's nothing to talk about.
01:08:27Elaine, what are you talking about?
01:08:30No, Tristan, please.
01:08:31Don't take this personally.
01:08:34She's been on edge since the divorce.
01:08:36She didn't mean it.
01:08:38Right, Elaine?
01:08:38I will present the project updates at the next board meeting as planned.
01:08:43Tristan, it's Elaine.
01:08:47You realize I came back from London for you, right?
01:08:49And now what?
01:08:50Since you're divorced, you can't give me a chance.
01:08:53But, Elaine, don't be rude.
01:08:55This is me being polite.
01:08:57I have no interest in rehashing the past.
01:09:00So stop coming around to see me.
01:09:03Unbelievable.
01:09:04I mean, I get you the Hudson Yard Project and what?
01:09:07This 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 long before your help.
01:09:17Help.
01:09:18I mean, you're just a Nepo baby.
01:09:20You have zero influence over a deal this major.
01:09:23Mr. Whitmar already planned to give us the project?
01:09:26Why?
01:09:28Maybe 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?
01:09:37You'll regret this, Elaine.
01:09:45Elaine, you've been so tense lately.
01:09:48Is 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.
01:09:56What?
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.
01:10:13What are you doing here, Silas?
01:10:16What?
01:10:16You've come to beg for your spot back at the Sterling house?
01:10:20Well, I hate to break it to you, but you're not welcome here anymore.
01:10:24What's the matter, Tristan?
01:10:25The Sterlings took you out?
01:10:26Or maybe I just don't like you.
01:10:28Oh, man.
01:10:29Here's what these days.
01:10:30Got no respect.
01:10:31Don't call me kid.
01:10:33You asshole!
01:10:34I mean, if you hadn't messed up my dinner at the Japanese restaurant,
01:10:38I would be fucking Elaine by now.
01:10:47Fucking hit me.
01:10:48Break his legs!
01:10:50Okay, Mr. Whirlpool.
01:10:51Be careful there, Chugs.
01:10:53What you do right now, you can't undo.
01:10:55Big 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?
01:11:02Get him!
01:11:08Oh!
01:11:09Oh!
01:11:11Oh!
01:11:11Oh!
01:11:13Oh!
01:11:13Oh!
01:11:15Wow.
01:11:15That's pretty impressive.
01:11:17I see where you get your attitude.
01:11:19But if you have forgotten, you fucked with the Whitmores.
01:11:22That's practically a death sentence.
01:11:24You're gonna keep talking or you can actually do something.
01:11:26You listen to me.
01:11:28The Whitmores, we're meeting with a very important VIP tonight.
01:11:32Get on your knees and beg for my forgiveness.
01:11:35And I might just let this slide.
01:11:36And what if I told you that very important guest?
01:11:39That's me.
01:11:42I mean, you're kidding me, right?
01:11:44I mean, you're just a leech that suckles from the Sterlings.
01:11:49You think a VIP like you who mooches off women, is that important?
01:11:54Hey, I'm here.
01:11:55Pick me up.
01:11:56Yes, sir.
01:11:57I'm on my way.
01:11:58The game's a point.
01:12:00Let's go.
01:12:02Would you stop with this game?
01:12:04I mean, who are you really trying to fool?
01:12:11Uncle Mark?
01:12:12What are you doing here?
01:12:17Our utmost respect, Divine One.
01:12:24Mr. Lancaster is more than sufficient.
01:12:26As you wish, Mr. Lancaster.
01:12:28I can't be serious.
01:12:29I mean, he's just a freeloader for the Sterlings.
01:12:32Shut up!
01:12:34I am not in a giving vein today.
01:12:36Mr. Lancaster only humbled himself living with that family
01:12:39so he could honor Charles Sterling's dying wish.
01:12:44He needs too young to be the VIP.
01:12:45Mr. Lancaster is immortal.
01:12:47He's looked exactly the same for over 2,000 years.
01:12:51You listen up.
01:12:52Sixty years ago when he arrived,
01:12:54Mr. Lancaster made New York's most powerful families and corporations alive.
01:13:00Every one of their leaders swore loyalty to him.
01:13:04Willingly.
01:13:07You'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.
01:13:18Please find it in your...
01:13:23I called you for two reasons.
01:13:24Why don't I leave in New York?
01:13:26I'm to the world again and, uh...
01:13:29I'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,
01:13:35and for every generation after us.
01:13:38Second, the Sterling.
01:13:41Sir, don't worry.
01:13:43I myself will make sure that the Sterlings are well taken care of in your absence.
01:13:47No.
01:13:48Charles Sterling made a Sterling company 50 years ago.
01:13:51Willing is now fit to leave.
01:13:52Elaine is...
01:13:54Sarrigan.
01:13:55She's too young.
01:13:56Ms. Sterling's will fail.
01:13:58You were right.
01:13:59As always.
01:14:01What do you need from us?
01:14:02True the Sterling group like any other company from here on out.
01:14:05No special treatment.
01:14:07No exceptions.
01:14:10Understood.
01:14:17Ms. Sterling, Whitmore just froze the Hudson Yards project.
01:14:20They're questioning the company's qualifications and want to audit the entire project proposal.
01:14:24What?
01:14:25Our vendors are freaking out.
01:14:27Someone demanding payment in advance?
01:14:29What should we do?
01:14:31Just try to reassure them.
01:14:33I'll sort this out when I get in.
01:14:36Damn it.
01:14:37This was never a part of the deal.
01:14:39Do we have the audit file they're asking for?
01:14:40No.
01:14:41Whitmore's benchmarks are sky high.
01:14:44Sterling can't deliver.
01:14:45Honestly, I can't even think of a company in New York that could.
01:14:48What the hell is wrong with the Whitmore's?
01:14:50Why mess with us?
01:14:51Wait.
01:14:52This has to be Tristan.
01:14:54You pissed him off and he's stormed out.
01:14:56This has to be payment.
01:14:57I don't think it's him.
01:14:59Who else could it be?
01:15:01Just call him and apologize.
01:15:04This business deal means everything for us.
01:15:07If Tristan really is trying to get back at us, do you actually think that apologizing would fix anything?
01:15:12Marry him.
01:15:15Marry him.
01:15:16He's into you and this is a perfect match for our families.
01:15:19What on earth are you talking about?
01:15:27You following me?
01:15:29Look, Uncle Mark, he told me to stick by you in case you need anything, so...
01:15:32Yeah.
01:15:33He was hoping by you hanging around you'll, uh, lend me over.
01:15:37You don't miss a thing, do you, Mr. Lancaster?
01:15:39For Mark's sake.
01:15:41Sure.
01:15:41I'm gonna go for one more stroll around New York before I leave with the arrangements.
01:15:45Okay.
01:15:46Absolutely, Mr. Lancaster.
01:15:47I'll, I'll take care of all of it.
01:15:54Mr. Lancaster, can we get you some water?
01:15:56Okay.
01:15:57That's fine, but...
01:16:00What?
01:16:04I'll be right back.
01:16:05Yeah.
01:16:05Yeah.
01:16:06Tristan, what the hell?
01:16:08Your nose is so far up this loser's ass right now.
01:16:11You okay?
01:16:16What is wrong with you?
01:16:18You hit Gabriel over Silas?
01:16:21He kept you apart from Elaine for three years.
01:16:24What?
01:16:25Oh!
01:16:26Don't you two ever disrespect Mr. Lancaster again, okay?
01:16:31Otherwise we are done.
01:16:32Completely.
01:16:33What the hell?
01:16:34Does he have something on you or something?
01:16:36No, my respect for him is genuine.
01:16:38And here's a little piece of advice for you too.
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?
01:16:49Maybe?
01:16:50I don't know.
01:16:51The way that Tristan is acting, maybe?
01:16:54Maybe?
01:16:54We better just apologize to him and get out of here, okay?
01:16:57Silas.
01:16:59Mr. Lancaster, we are very sorry we never meant any disrespect.
01:17:03Don't worry about it.
01:17:04You guys were never worth it.
01:17:06Right.
01:17:06Well, that's...
01:17:08Good, I guess.
01:17:13It's...
01:17:14Mr. Stirling.
01:17:17Tristan, honey.
01:17:18Elaine has something very important to say to you.
01:17:20Are you free right now?
01:17:21Maybe you could come over and have a chat.
01:17:23Sir, the Stirlings, they want to meet you.
01:17:26Should I turn them down?
01:17:27Let them come.
01:17:29You guys are welcome to come.
01:17:32I came as soon as I got your call.
01:17:34What's going on?
01:17:35We need to do a compliant audit for Hudson Yards,
01:17:38but we don't have the infrastructure set up yet.
01:17:41Your dad's an expert in that area.
01:17:43Is there any way he could help us?
01:17:45My dad's at a conference in Beijing,
01:17:47but I know someone who can.
01:17:49Please don't say Tristan.
01:17:51I was actually talking about Silas.
01:17:53Okay.
01:17:53I know I might sound crazy,
01:17:56but please just hear me out.
01:17:57Silas is actually a mythical being
01:18:00who has been alive for a lot longer than we thought, virtually.
01:18:22And it's a lot, I know.
01:18:25How could Silas possibly have anything to do with this?
01:18:29He's a complete nobody.
01:18:30I know it might be hard for you to believe,
01:18:33but Silas actually has a lot more power than you realize.
01:18:36Silas, you know that I would never lie to you.
01:18:40Enough of this nonsense.
01:18:42Tristan's waiting.
01:18:43Elaine, let's go.
01:18:50Rebecca?
01:18:51Gabriel, what are you guys doing here?
01:18:53We just bumped into each other.
01:18:57Tristan, dear, you look more handsome every time I see you.
01:19:00Enough with the flattery, Miss Sherling.
01:19:03What are you really after?
01:19:04The Hudson Yards project seems to be put on hold,
01:19:07and 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,
01:19:18you're going to have to speak to Mr. Lancaster himself.
01:19:21Mr. Lancaster?
01:19:23You mean Silas?
01:19:25Don't be ridiculous, Tristan.
01:19:27He doesn't have that kind of power.
01:19:28I mean, you guys only got the project
01:19:30because he was doing a favor for my Uncle Mark.
01:19:33Tristan, are you messing with me?
01:19:34Come 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,
01:19:52but we signed a contract. You can't just push us around.
01:19:55Why do you think I gave you that contract in the first place?
01:19:58The Sterling Group clearly didn't meet the qualification.
01:20:01It was a favor to Mr. Lancaster.
01:20:03Since he's no longer tied to your family,
01:20:05well, business is business.
01:20:07My God, so was Silas all along.
01:20:10What are we supposed to do now?
01:20:12I told you Elaine Silas was a good man, but no.
01:20:15Just had to go and divorce him, didn't you?
01:20:16Silas!
01:20:17I'm out! I know you're here!
01:20:28Don't y'all teach you a lesson, Sil?
01:20:31What'd you learn?
01:20:33What, so that's what this is about?
01:20:35You wanted to see me break down?
01:20:37Beg for your forgiveness?
01:20:39Oh, well guess what?
01:20:41That is never gonna happen.
01:20:44Look, I don't know how you got to the Whitmores,
01:20:46but Sterling Group will be just fine without Hudson Yards.
01:20:50We have plenty of other deals lined up.
01:20:51The truth is right in front of you.
01:20:53You're just choosing not to believe it.
01:20:54How do you explain the two harbor shipping licenses
01:20:58I secured last week?
01:20:59Massive shipments, worth billions,
01:21:02moving in and out every day.
01:21:04You're telling me that's because of you too?
01:21:11Hey, the Sterling shipping license.
01:21:14Answer.
01:21:15Both ports.
01:21:16Yeah, immediately.
01:21:17Thank you so much.
01:21:19You are still keeping up this little act, Silas?
01:21:22You really think that if you just snap your fingers
01:21:25you can shut us down?
01:21:26Any second now.
01:21:28What?
01:21:35Miss Sterling, something's wrong.
01:21:37We just heard from the Port Authority.
01:21:38They're suspending both of our shipping licenses.
01:21:40What?
01:21:41Why is this happening to me?
01:21:43I worked so hard for all of this.
01:21:46It's over.
01:21:47I've lost everything.
01:21:49Why?
01:21:51Elaine, don't say that.
01:21:53Silas is still here.
01:21:54You can fix this.
01:21:56So those contracts?
01:21:58All the partnerships?
01:21:59They were all because of you?
01:22:01Can you believe me now?
01:22:03All this time you were helping us from behind the scenes.
01:22:07Everything we have is because of you.
01:22:11Kai paraded around.
01:22:13Proud, arrogant, showing off in front of you like a complete fool.
01:22:17You put up with three years of that.
01:22:20God, you must have hated every minute of it.
01:22:23Doesn't matter now.
01:22:24I just did what a husband should do.
01:22:26And what you're always asked.
01:22:28That's all.
01:22:29I'm so sorry.
01:22:31Silas.
01:22:32I was terrible to you.
01:22:35I pushed you away.
01:22:36I blamed you for everything.
01:22:38As soon as we got divorced, I regretted it immediately.
01:22:41And I searched everywhere for you.
01:22:44But when I finally found you and had the chance to tell you,
01:22:48I let my pride get in the way.
01:22:50And I destroyed us all over again.
01:22:52I am so sorry.
01:22:55So sorry.
01:22:58It's true.
01:22:59Elaine's been miserable since the divorce.
01:23:02Yeah, totally.
01:23:02She tried to come back, but...
01:23:04I know.
01:23:06Silas used to wait here for me after work.
01:23:12I know you're sorry, and I accept your apology.
01:23:15And if you want, I can get Sterling Grove back on track.
01:23:19I want to rebuild Sterling on my own.
01:23:22I just have one last question for you.
01:23:24Silas.
01:23:26These three years, you never really loved me.
01:23:29That you...
01:23:31Your kindness and your patience, it was just pity, wasn't it?
01:23:35I'm sorry.
01:23:37Hey, Karen.
01:23:39You were never really equals.
01:23:41But I'm gonna change that.
01:23:43Step by step.
01:23:44On my own.
01:23:45Maybe one day, you'll finally respect me.
01:23:48I'm looking forward to it.
01:23:54This really has changed.
01:23:58Yeah.
01:23:59She really has.
01:24:01So, Coach.
01:24:02What's next for you?
01:24:04I don't know.
01:24:05I still have to leave New York.
01:24:06To the world.
01:24:07We're back in a few years, though.
01:24:09So it's changed.
01:24:10Take it easy.
01:24:14Damn, Fiona.
01:24:15You are so into him.
01:24:16I am not.
01:24:18I know.
01:24:18Please.
01:24:18We're not blind.
01:24:20Look.
01:24:20Everyone deserves a chance at happiness.
01:24:22So what are you waiting for?
01:24:25Silas, wait.
01:24:27Take me with you.
