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.
00:00:23Whoever's coming can wait. Your health comes first.
00:00:27No. 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.
00:01:00Oh!
00:01:12A few years been buying a blink, huh?
00:01:15Yeah.
00:01:16About how much time passed.
00:01:17Yeah. Time catches up to everyone. Except you.
00:01:21So...
00:01:22Who are you these days?
00:01:24No fun?
00:01:25Keepin' it easy.
00:01:26Part-time swim coach.
00:01:29Oh. Sorry.
00:01:35You're done.
00:01:36You tell me, Charles, now.
00:01:38What is it you want from me?
00:01:43You can always see right through me.
00:01:45Oh.
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.
00:02:03Oh.
00:02:04Deal.
00:02:05For three years.
00:02:07After that, the students are on their own.
00:02:09Thank you, Mr. Lancaster.
00:02:10Of course.
00:02:11What do you tell me, Charles?
00:02:12How do you expect me to fit in with them?
00:02:13Don't worry.
00:02:15I don't care.
00:02:20What's going on? Are you okay?
00:02:22Elaine, I need you to...
00:02:24I want to introduce you to somebody.
00:02:26This is Silas Lancaster.
00:02:28And, um, starting tonight, he's your husband.
00:02:33Grandpa, what are you talking about?
00:02:35I don't even know this guy and I'm already in love with someone else.
00:02:39Dad?
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.
00:03:10Elaine, don't be selfish.
00:03:12Do as your grandfather asks.
00:03:13He knows what's best.
00:03:15She's right, sweetheart.
00:03:16I'll arrange a marriage tomorrow.
00:03:19Don't worry, Dad.
00:03:20Don't wake it up.
00:03:27All right, Grandpa.
00:03:29I'll marry him.
00:03:32It's the only way to make sure Mr. Lancaster
00:03:35watches over my family and our legacy for the next three years.
00:03:52The plan 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?
00:04:02Gather, 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.
00:04:19Ah!
00:04:35He's a fucking monster!
00:04:38Run!
00:04:56Where the hell are you?
00:04:58Uh, Sterling Factory in Jersey.
00:05:00Why?
00:05:00What are you even doing there?
00:05:02Okay, never mind.
00:05:04Get to Club Pulse in Soho.
00:05:06You've got ten minutes.
00:05:09Ten minutes?
00:05:10We're not getting 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?
00:05:21He said sure, of course.
00:05:23Nice.
00:05:24Alright, game on.
00:05:27Ten minutes.
00:05:28Mr. Wifey doesn't show, then you're buying drinks.
00:05:32If he does, we are.
00:05:34Well, then I hope you brought your black card.
00:05:38Aline, come on.
00:05:40Silas is your husband.
00:05:42Do you think you're being a bit harsh?
00:05:43He brought it on himself.
00:05:45Since Grandpa died three years ago,
00:05:47I have given him so many chances to walk away,
00:05:50but he refuses to divorce me.
00:05:52So, fine.
00:05:54If 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.
00:06:10They're going to be going to nationals.
00:06:11The point is you are Elaine Sterling,
00:06:14heirs to the Sterling Empire.
00:06:16You're running the thing.
00:06:18Holy shit.
00:06:20Tristan is coming back into town in three days.
00:06:24Your Prince Charming is coming home.
00:06:27I 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,
00:06:36his family shipped him off so he could run the Italian office,
00:06:39but now that he's back,
00:06:41you 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.
00:07:01Oh, Gabriel.
00:07:09Damn, Elaine.
00:07:10You really trained him well.
00:07:14You called.
00:07:15Is everything okay?
00:07:16Are you blind?
00:07:17I'm perfectly fine.
00:07:20Well, you called, so what'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 anyways, Silas?
00:07:44Please take care of my family for the next three years.
00:07:55Oh, 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,
00:08:05if she called you,
00:08:06you would show up straight away like a good boy.
00:08:09I gotta say, you didn't disappoint.
00:08:11Seriously, there's so much traffic right now.
00:08:14How'd you get here?
00:08:15You have wings or something?
00:08:23You called me.
00:08:24I thought you were in trouble.
00:08:25About years behind my back,
00:08:27calling me a dumb chud of your friends.
00:08:29That's right.
00:08:29Okay.
00:08:31Wait, are you, like, pissed or something?
00:08:35Oh, because I...
00:08:37I'm just getting started.
00:08:47I'm just getting started.
00:08:48Oh!
00:08:53Well, if you hate it that much, then you can leave.
00:08:56I am not stopping you.
00:08:57That!
00:08:58I don't even pay you enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life.
00:09:03You know, if you have any ounce of pride left in your body,
00:09:07take the deal and get the hell out 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.
00:09:20Only three days left.
00:09:21Well, time's up.
00:09:22The Sterlings will never see me again.
00:09:24Hey, freeloader.
00:09:26Elaine is talking to you.
00:09:27Or do you need her permission to speak, too?
00:09:36It's getting late.
00:09:38We'll meet you tomorrow.
00:09:39Come on, let me, uh...
00:09:41Let me drive you home.
00:09:44Man.
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.
00:09:53I guess that's the secret to being a kept man.
00:09:56No shame.
00:09:57No spine.
00:10:00Thanks, but I'll get home myself.
00:10:10Elaine didn't mean to humiliate you.
00:10:12She's just...
00:10:13She's got a temper.
00:10:15That's all.
00:10:15Try not to take it to heart.
00:10:20Didn't mean to humiliate me.
00:10:23Whatever.
00:10:24Three more days.
00:10:24And none of this will matter.
00:10:27He's a...
00:10:28He's a monster.
00:10:30Good thing you didn't come after us ever.
00:10:31We'd all be dead for sure.
00:10:33That guy.
00:10:34No.
00:10:35That thing.
00:10:35He's a human.
00:10:36He's a fucking demon.
00:10:38It makes sense.
00:10:39John Star is no gun.
00:10:41John's useless.
00:10:42The vent are spoiled.
00:10:43But yet, they still own the fucking world's medicine scavenage.
00:10:48I guess now we know why.
00:10:49They've got something in human going to...
00:10:52An empire.
00:10:53Let's get the hell out of fucking New York tonight.
00:10:55I'm not running to the fucking freak ever again.
00:11:01You're back.
00:11:02Come sit down.
00:11:10Where the hell have you been?
00:11:12It's already late and dinner's not even ready.
00:11:15Did you want us to starve?
00:11:17I was out picking up Elaine.
00:11:18And 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.
00:11:33You know that?
00:11:34They can't stand the maid's cooking.
00:11:36So be useful for once.
00:11:38And 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.
00:12:21You have that meeting with Mr. Whitmore tomorrow.
00:12:24What are the odds that you land that Hudson Yards deal?
00:12:28We'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.
00:12:44Silas is completely useless.
00:12:46You're all we've got.
00:12:48I know, Mom.
00:12:51Dristen'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.
00:13:24Can't sleep?
00:13:25If I'm keeping you up, you can always take the couch.
00:13:28Don't worry about Hudson Yards.
00:13:30Alright?
00:13:31Don't overthink it.
00:13:34Yeah, like you know anything about business?
00:13:36It's not as simple as frying an egg.
00:13:39Okay.
00:13:53Hello?
00:13:55I'm in.
00:13:56I'm outside.
00:14:13I couldn't wait to see you.
00:14:15It'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.
00:14:29I couldn't go another day without seeing you.
00:14:32Tristan, I'm sorry, but I'm married.
00:14:37I know.
00:14:38It's Silas.
00:14:40Who's this stray dog that you picked up?
00:14:43Not that I'm back.
00:14:44You can cancel this joke wedding and Elaine?
00:14:48Will you marry me?
00:14:50Uh, Tristan, I'm glad that you're back, but this is too much.
00:14:55Too soon.
00:14:58Of course, it's...
00:15:00I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.
00:15:03Look, you can take your time and honestly just seeing you tonight.
00:15:06I mean, that was enough for me.
00:15:08Good night.
00:15:09Good 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?
00:15:23Help me land the deal?
00:15:25I can help you out. No worries.
00:15:28Tristan, if I can pull this deal off, I will owe you.
00:15:30Big time.
00:15:31Look, look, look.
00:15:32I can handle it, okay?
00:15:34It just...
00:15:34It'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.
00:15:42Bye.
00:15:57You can sleep.
00:15:59Lots of hot tea might help.
00:16:01Wait.
00:16:03Are you really not gonna ask where I was just now?
00:16:07Can you tell me if I did?
00:16:08You know, since we got married, you've done everything for me.
00:16:13Never had a bad temper.
00:16:15Never complained.
00:16:17You'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.
00:16:30Kind and gentle.
00:16:33Kind and gentle.
00:16:33It's just another way of saying weak.
00:16:35Get some rest.
00:16:36It's late.
00:16:45You know?
00:16:47Hi.
00:16:47Uncle 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.
00:17:01Stay out of it. Got it?
00:17:18Mr. 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,
00:17:30and I promise you we will exceed your expectations.
00:17:36Don't worry, Miss Sterling. Hudson 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?
00:17:51Don't need to. Someone I trust vouch for Sterling Group personally.
00:17:55I have complete faith. Here.
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. It had to be Tristan.
00:18:15Thank you, Mr. Whitmore. We will not let you down.
00:18:19I am sure you ought.
00:18:29Hey.
00:18:30Sir, I followed your instructions to the letter, Mr. Lancaster.
00:18:34Mrs. Sterling, she just signed the contract.
00:18:37Great. I get big time, Mark.
00:18:39Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'm happy that I was able to help.
00:18:43If there's anything else you need, just say the word.
00:18:48Hey, mate. Look, 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. Uncle 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. I mean, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters.
00:19:07Can I get you lunch?
00:19:08No. After everything you've done, I owe you this one.
00:19:22Oh, my cheeks feel hot. I think I've had too much.
00:19:26Really, I mean, I think you look gorgeous. I mean, as always.
00:19:31You know, I remember when we were in college, everyone used to say that we were so good together.
00:19:36I think if I'd never left for London, then we would have even had kids or something by now.
00:19:43Three years is long enough to change everything.
00:19:52Why didn't you tell me from the contract you left?
00:19:55I'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 even drinking?
00:20:04God, will you drop it already? I am hanging up.
00:20:08Wait, wait, wait, wait. This must be Silas, right?
00:20:12Yeah, I'm Tristan Whitmore, Elaine'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.
00:20:29Silas, don't re-enter this. I'm treating Tristan to lunch.
00:20:32Because he helped me land the Hudson Yards deal and...
00:20:36We had a little bit too much to drink. I'll be home soon.
00:20:42You crossed the line, Tristan.
00:20:44Okay, look. I'm sorry, right? But I hate seeing you with that guy when you could be with me.
00:20:50I mean, you're way out of his league. Come on.
00:20:53Forget it. I should go. I'm just gonna get an oopie.
00:20:55Elaine, please. Look, I got all this wonderful sushi and we have this wonderful sake.
00:21:01Let's at least have one last cheers, yeah?
00:21:03One more drink, okay? And then we're gonna toast it.
00:21:09Sound good?
00:21:11Cheers.
00:21:12To us.
00:21:15And to our past.
00:21:25I should go. It's... it's good.
00:21:29Wait, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:21:31Hey!
00:21:32Wait!
00:21:32Are you okay?
00:21:33Okay.
00:21:34I think I changed you.
00:21:36Okay, okay, okay, okay. Just last night.
00:21:37Yeah?
00:21:38Here we go.
00:21:46Okay, you know.
00:21:47You're even more beautiful than I remember.
00:21:50I never stopped mourning you.
00:21:51No, Tristan, stop. I'm married.
00:21:55Look, look, look, look.
00:21:57I can't resist you.
00:21:59I can't resist you.
00:22:01Stop! Stop!
00:22:01I want to be with you, yeah?
00:22:03I want to be with... I want us to be together.
00:22:06Don't.
00:22:07Silas.
00:22:08Together.
00:22:09Our families will be the most powerful in the city.
00:22:12No, don't! No!
00:22:23Silas?
00:22:25He actually fights?
00:22:27Hey!
00:22:28No!
00:22:29Silas!
00:22:29Silas, stop!
00:22:30Leave him alone!
00:22:32So, you're Silas, huh?
00:22:34The loser who has been leeching off of her for years?
00:22:37Well, you know, now that you hit me, I'm finished.
00:22:44Silas, apologize to Tristan now.
00:22:49Silas, apologize to Tristan now.
00:22:52He forced himself on top of you.
00:22:54He wants me to apologize.
00:22:55Apologize.
00:22:56Apologize.
00:23:03I'm sorry.
00:23:07Good boy.
00:23:08I...
00:23:10You know...
00:23:11I'm gonna slide this down.
00:23:12Just for the rain's sake.
00:23:16Hey, look.
00:23:17I'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...
00:23:25It's fine.
00:23:26Look, it's late.
00:23:27We should just go.
00:23:28But we'll talk later, right?
00:23:30Can I talk to you later?
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.
00:23:58What?
00:23:59What?
00:24:00Wow.
00:24:02That fast?
00:24:04It feels like this usually takes weeks to negotiate.
00:24:07While Tristan talked to his uncle.
00:24:10He really went out of his way to vouch for us.
00:24:13Of course, Tristan.
00:24:16There's one person who knows how to get things done.
00:24:19Unlike some people who just mooch off others
00:24:23and never do anything useful ever.
00:24:27You think Tristan got you Hudson Yards?
00:24:35What?
00:24:36So if it wasn't Tristan, then who was it?
00:24:38You?
00:24:42Go make us dinner.
00:24:44Can'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.
00:25:06You'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...
00:25:12Let it 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.
00:25:42Okay.
00:25:43Well then who vouched for us?
00:25:45I don't know.
00:25:46Could be anybody.
00:25:47But it sure as hell wasn't 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, I'll let you to grow up.
00:26:00Your grandfather started this company for nothing.
00:26:02Don't be the one to ruin his mix.
00:26:11Ruin it?
00:26:12Are you kidding me?
00:26:13I am the reason that Sterling Group is thriving.
00:26:16And you, 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.
00:26:32Because you are still just a spoiled princess who never had to face reality.
00:26:37Call me spoiled all you want, but you protect me.
00:26:42Really?
00:26:44Driving me around?
00:26:46Cooking?
00:26:47Driving?
00:26:48Waiting around for me?
00:26:49That is not protection.
00:26:50That's a fact.
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.
00:27:27Just kick him out.
00:27:29I mean, a man who lives off his wife has no room to mouth off.
00:27:32Mom.
00:27:32Dad, 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.
00:27:46Exactly.
00:27:48It's time for you to dump this, would you?
00:27:51Alright, Silas, listen.
00:27:53You crossed the line.
00:27:55What?
00:27:57I 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?
00:28:10Yes.
00:28:11What, do you have a problem with that?
00:28:13You heard her.
00:28:15Apologize.
00:28:16Now.
00:28:19I'm losing my patience here, Silas.
00:28:22This is your last chance.
00:28:27And 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.
00:28:50What 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?
00:29:02Silas 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 drag him to court ourselves.
00:29:17This divorce is happening tomorrow.
00:29:19Don't forget. It 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?
00:29:33I'm not hungry.
00:29:34You guys go ahead.
00:30:02Honey?
00:30:03What now?
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, he wouldn't go around cleaning like some maid.
00:30:20Unless he wants us to look like the bad guys or something.
00:30:23If he apologizes to you tomorrow, maybe you should think about taking him back.
00:30:32Been working on that Hudson Yards deal for a while now.
00:30:35Need 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.
00:30:49Well, now 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.
00:31:04You already?
00:31:08It's rough.
00:31:11Still bluffing?
00:31:13Well, let's see how you act at the courthouse tomorrow.
00:31:34Goodbye, Elaine.
00:31:37But today, our deal ends. From now on, the Sterlings are on the road.
00:32:05How are you doing, old friend?
00:32:08I've been protecting Elaine and the family for three years now, but 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. I'll give you another chance. Sit down. Join us.
00:32:50I already ate. When you guys finish, we'll go to the courthouse and send new force papers.
00:32:55What?
00:32:59Okay, that is enough, Silas. I am sick of this attitude of yours.
00:33:05I'll wait in the car.
00:33:09Unbelievable. Elaine gives him another chance and he just walks out. What does he think? He has options?
00:33:16Divorce him, sweetheart. He's asking for it.
00:33:19It just might work out. I mean, once you're divorced, maybe you and Tristan can get back together.
00:33:24Whatever his game is, I'm calling his bluff.
00:33:31Wait. Sign 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 and didn't even ask for a single cent.
00:34:01Oh. And this car belongs to the Sterling, so, uh, that's real.
00:34:12Oh my god. I just realized. Three years, then Silas never really owned a single thing.
00:34:21Even his car wasn't really his. It was just there to drive me around.
00:34:26All right. That's it, then. Goodbye for good.
00:34:40So, what did I even mean to him? Why bother marrying me at all?
00:34:46What the hell? Goodbye for good? What is that? Some lame attempt to make me feel guilty? Sad?
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, is it official? You two are actually divorced?
00:35:22He didn't make a scene and beg you to forgive him?
00:35:28No. It was quick. Too quick.
00:35:32That's wonderful, sweetheart. You're finally free.
00:35:36It's a new beginning. We 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. The Hudson Yards project is already underway.
00:35:49That's my girl. Strong as ever. The worst can't get you down.
00:35:57She doesn't look happy. Do you think it's because of Silas?
00:36:02Honestly, I think it's normal. You can get attached to anything after three years.
00:36:06Even a mangy mutt. It's just habit. Not love.
00:36:10True. Silas was useless. But he did take care of Elaine.
00:36:16I just think she's not used to being alone. She never really loved him anyway. Just give it a few
00:36:21days.
00:36:21Oh, Tristan came back to town. Once he hears that Elaine is divorced, I'm sure he'll come running.
00:36:28That'll cheer her up.
00:36:47Fightin' with the feelings I get
00:36:54dancing with the shadows reaching for the edge i feel as though i'm falling
00:37:02but i ain't falling yet i hold it in i push it out i breathe again
00:37:14silas there's not a single trace of you left in the house
00:37:18is this on purpose is this your way of punishing me by erasing yourself from my life
00:37:24watch me dive fall and rise i am brave just to breathe again
00:37:41gone everything's gone
00:37:47silas you think that ghosting me makes you the winner i 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 kristen's house

00:39:56uh these last three years have been rough
00:40:04you all know that my grandfather chose silas not me
00:40:09i thought that when we finally got divorced i'd be happy
00:40:13and you are now right no we signed the papers 10 hours ago and i'm not happy at all like
00:40:22not even
00:40:23a little seriously don't tell me you regret filing for divorce
00:40:28regretting of course not i mean the divorce is exactly what i wanted i just don't understand why i'm not
00:40:35happy
00:40:38maybe silas spoiled you i mean he was waiting on you hand and foot and for him to just suddenly
00:40:43be gone like that's probably weird
00:40:45yeah that guy was obsessed with you i bet he's crying his eyes out now

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
00:42:22exactly that 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

00:42:33can you call him from your phone

00:56:16and there's still no news of you
00:56:21silas
00:56:21did you really disappear from my life for good
00:56:29elaine
00:56:30where have you been
00:56:31we've all been trying to reach you for days
00:56:33just
00:56:33work's been crazy
00:56:36so 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
00:56:43i heard tristan's back in town
00:56:44you two getting back together
00:56:46didn't know you were such a gossip
00:56:48fiona
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
00:57:02then why'd you get a divorce
00:57:05i mean i know that you and silas fought
00:57:08a lot
00:57:09but
00:57:10this time feels
00:57:12final
00:57:15so that's it then
00:57:18bye for good
00:57:21maybe
00:57:22he just
00:57:23got tired
00:57:24he got tired
00:57:25are you saying that silas was the one who wanted the divorce
00:57:28of course not
00:57:29i was the one who ended
00:57:31for what it's worth
00:57:32elaine
00:57:34i 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 rather 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
00:58:01wasn't silas a victim too
00:58:03i 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
00:58:13doesn't that have to count for something
00:58:19you called me
00:58:20i thought you were in trouble
00:58:22but you're just behind my back calling me a dumb chud to your friends
00:58:24that's right
00:58:26then we're done
00:58:27you are out of the sterling family
00:58:29for good
00:58:32maybe you're right
00:58:33fiona
00:58:35but it doesn't matter
00:58:36we're already divorced
00:58:38you were married to silas for three years
00:58:40but
00:58:41you never really knew each other
00:58:44maybe this divorce could be the chance to start things over
00:58:46sit 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
00:59:00well 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?
00:59:09yeah i think so
00:59:11elaine what's going on?

01:06:54no, don't offend her
01:06:55she's still the same prideful judd
01:06:57who is
01:06:58driven by ego
01:06:59and won't learn her lesson
01:07:01until life finally knocks her down
01:07:02knocks her down?
01:07:04knocks her down?
01:07:11dad
01:07:11why 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
01:07:19he's one of the most respected professors
01:07:21he's worked with some of the most influential politicians
01:07:25and ceos in the country
01:07:26in this city
01:07:28they defer to him, not the other way around
01:07:31weird
01:07:32i definitely watched him totally fawn all over some of the time
01:07:36what? who was that?
01:07:38warren brown says it's time for you to wait
01:07:40the president will wait for him
01:07:41i find it hard to even earn that level of respect for him
01:07:45wow, so
01:07:46dean brown's really that big of a deal?
01:07:48nope
01:07:50so silas can't be just some part time coach

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
01:17:56but please just hear me out
01:17:58silas is actually a mythical being who has been alive for a lot longer than we thought originally
01:18:23and it's a lot i know
01:18:26how could silas possibly have anything to do with this he's a complete nobody
01:18:30i 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
01:18:43tristan's waiting
01:18:44elaine let's go
01:18:51rebecca

01:18:59you look more handsome every time i see you
01:19:01enough with the flattery miss shirling
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
01:19:19you're gonna have to speak to mr lancaster himself
01:19:22mr lancaster
01:19:24you mean silas
01:19:25don't be ridiculous tristan
01:19:27he doesn't have that kind of power
01:19:29i mean you guys only got the project
01:19:31because 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
01:19:46how can we fix this hudson yards project
01:19:48mr whitmore
01:19:49the sterling group might not have as much influence
01:19:53but we signed a contract you can't just push us around
01:19:56why do you think i gave you that contract in the first place
01:19:59sterling group clearly didn't meet the qualification
01:20:01it was a favor to mr lancaster
01:20:04since he's no longer tied to your family
01:20:06well 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

01:20:50we have plenty of other deals lined up
