00:00:00My mentor. Two thousand years. And you have an age today.
00:00:06I only got to follow you for a few decades and now... death at my door.
00:00:17Grandpa. Grandpa, 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. Dad, she's right. We should take you to the hospital.
00:00:29I'm fine. Go inside. All of you.
00:00:39He's here.
00:00:57No.
00:00:59Oh.
00:01:11A few years went by no blink, huh?
00:01:14Huh?
00:01:15Got how much time passed.
00:01:16Time catches up to everyone... except you.
00:01:20So, who are you these days?
00:01:23No fun?
00:01:24Keep it easy.
00:01:25Part-time swim coach.
00:01:31So, mate.
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,
00:01:48consider this my last request.
00:01:51After I'm gone,
00:01:52please take care of my family for the next three years.
00:02:03Deal.
00:02:04For three years.
00:02:06After that, the students are on their own.
00:02:08Thank you, Mr. Lancaster.
00:02:09Of course.
00:02:10What do you tell me, Charles?
00:02:11How do you expect me to fit in with them?
00:02:12Don't worry.
00:02:14I have a plan.
00:02:18Hey.
00:02:19What's going on?
00:02:20Are you okay?
00:02:21Elaine, I need you to...
00:02:23I want to introduce you to somebody.
00:02:25This is Silas Lancaster.
00:02:27And, um, starting tonight,
00:02:30he's your husband.
00:02:33Grandpa, what are you talking about?
00:02:34I don't even know this guy,
00:02:36and I'm already in love with someone else.
00:02:38Dad?
00:02:40What the hell are you talking about?
00:02:41Who is this man?
00:02:42Mr. Lancaster is a respected college swimming coach
00:02:46and a far better man
00:02:47than whoever Elaine thinks she's in love with.
00:02:51Mom.
00:02:52Dad, please.
00:02:53I don't want to marry some stranger.
00:02:56If anyone dares to object,
00:02:59I will freeze every Sterling account.
00:03:02And I will go to my grave
00:03:04knowing that my family filled me.
00:03:08Elaine, don't be selfish.
00:03:11Do as your grandfather asks.
00:03:13He knows what's best.
00:03:14She's right, sweetheart.
00:03:15All the rings in marriage is horrible.
00:03:18Don't worry, Dad.
00:03:20I'll wake it up.
00:03:26All right, Grandpa.
00:03:28I'll marry him.
00:03:31It's the only way to make sure Mr. Lancaster
00:03:34watches over my family
00:03:36and our legacy
00:03:37for the next three years.
00:03:51Plan is simple.
00:03:53We hit the expensive equipment first.
00:03:55Destroy all of it.
00:03:57We're here to put the Sterling facility
00:03:58out of condition for good.
00:04:00Understand?
00:04:01Yeah, boss.
00:04:02Good, let's go.
00:04:11Who the hell are you?
00:04:12Get the fuck out of here!
00:04:14Get on over here.
00:04:36Run!
00:04:38Run!
00:04:39Run!
00:04:40Run!
00:04:41Run!
00:04:56Where the hell are you?
00:04:57Uh, Sterling factory in Jersey.
00:04:59Why?
00:04:59What have you been doing there?
00:05:02Okay, never mind.
00:05:03Get to Club Pulse in Soho.
00:05:05You've got 10 minutes.
00:05:0810 minutes?
00:05:09I don't get in cabin time.
00:05:10Not my problem.
00:05:12Figure it out.
00:05:16Well?
00:05:17What did the old ball and chain say?
00:05:20He said, sure.
00:05:21Of course.
00:05:22Nice.
00:05:24Alright.
00:05:25Game on.
00:05:2610 minutes.
00:05:28Mr. 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.
00:05:38Aline, come on.
00:05:39Silas is your husband.
00:05:41Do you think you're being a bit harsh?
00:05:43He brought it on himself.
00:05:45Since 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.
00:06:07He actually approaches a D1 program.
00:06:09They're going to 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.
00:06:24Your Prince Charming is coming home.
00:06:26I bet you're excited.
00:06:28Come on.
00:06:29Gabriel, I'm married.
00:06:30You 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.
00:07:00Oh.
00:07:01Gabriel.
00:07:08Damn, Elaine.
00:07:10You really trained him well.
00:07:13You called.
00:07:14Is everything okay?
00:07:16Are 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...
00:07:27My shoes are dirty.
00:07:28Clean them.
00:07:31What, 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?
00:07:43Please take care of my family for the next three years.
00:07:54Oh, come on.
00:07:56Elaine and I were just playing a little game called dog whistle.
00:08:02We 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 yours behind my back, calling me a dumb chud to your friends?
00:08:28That's right.
00:08:29Okay.
00:08:31Wait, are you, like, pissed or something?
00:08:34Oh, because I...
00:08:37I'm just getting started.
00:08:52Well, if you hate it that much, then you can leave. I am not stopping with that.
00:08:58I won't even pay you enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life.
00:09:02You know, if you have any ounce of pride left in your body, take the deal and get the hell
00:09:09out of my life.
00:09:12If I hadn't promised your grandfather I'd take care of your family for three years, I'd have walked away a
00:09:17long time ago.
00:09:19Whatever.
00:09:20Only three days left.
00:09:21The time's up and the Sterlings will never see me again.
00:09:24Hey, freeloader.
00:09:25Elaine is talking to you.
00:09:27Or do you need her permission to speak, too?
00:09:36It's getting late.
00:09:37We'll meet you tomorrow.
00:09:38Come on, let me, uh, let me drive you home.
00:09:43Man.
00:09:45Elaine just humiliated you in front of everyone and you're still willing to be her personal Uber?
00:09:51Talk about desperate.
00:09:53I guess that's the secret to being a kept man.
00:09:56No shame.
00:09:57No spine.
00:09:59Thanks, but I'll get home myself.
00:10:10Elaine didn't mean to humiliate you.
00:10:12She's just, she's got a temper.
00:10:14That's all.
00:10:15Try not to take it to heart.
00:10:19Didn't mean to humiliate me.
00:10:22Whatever.
00:10:23Three more days.
00:10:24And none of this will matter.
00:10:27He's a monster.
00:10:30Good thing he didn't come after us or we'd all be dead for sure.
00:10:33That guy.
00:10:34No.
00:10:34That thing.
00:10:35He's a human.
00:10:36He's a fucking demon.
00:10:38It makes sense.
00:10:39Johnstern's no gun.
00:10:40Son's useless.
00:10:42The guns are spoiled.
00:10:43But yet they still own the fucking world's medicine scavenage.
00:10:47I guess now we know why.
00:10:49They've got some damn women going to the fucking empire.
00:10:52Just get the hell out of fucking New York tonight.
00:10:55I'm not running to the fucking freak ever again.
00:11:00You're back.
00:11:01Come sit down.
00:11:10Where the hell have you been?
00:11:12It's already late and dinner's not even ready.
00:11:14Did you want us to starve?
00:11:16I 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.
00:11:23You've got to wait for me.
00:11:25Excuse me.
00:11:26We let you live here, eat our food, and now you don't even want to cook?
00:11:31You really are ungrateful.
00:11:33You know that?
00:11:33They can't stand the maid's cooking.
00:11:36So be useful for once and start getting dinner ready, Silas.
00:11:45What if I don't?
00:11:46What if one day I don't come back?
00:11:48Would you all just sit at the table waiting to be fed?
00:11:53Don't come back?
00:11:55What is that supposed to mean?
00:11:59What's that supposed to mean?
00:12:00Are you so tired of cooking that you're trying to pick 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 it twice.
00:12:20Oh, Elaine, you have that meeting with Mr. Whitmore tomorrow.
00:12:23What are the odds that you land that Hudson Yards deal?
00:12:27We're still a few steps behind our competitors.
00:12:31But I'll do everything I can.
00:12:34You need to land this deal, sweetheart.
00:12:37The business depends on it.
00:12:40Your father just cares about golf.
00:12:44Silas is completely useless.
00:12:47You're all we've got.
00:12:48I know, Mom.
00:12:51Tristan's back in town, you know.
00:12:53And you have that meeting with his uncle tomorrow?
00:12:55Perfect timing.
00:12:57Give him a call.
00:12:59I know you two are so into each other at school.
00:13:02I'm sure he'd help.
00:13:09You need to land this deal, sweetheart.
00:13:12The business depends on it.
00:13:24Cancel it?
00:13:25If 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.
00:13:33Yeah, like you know anything about business.
00:13:36It's not as simple as frying an egg.
00:13:53Hello?
00:13:55Elaine.
00:13:56I'm outside.
00:14:13I can't wait to see you.
00:14:14It's...
00:14:15It's been too long.
00:14:20I can't wait to see you.
00:14:25It's...
00:14:26It's been too long.
00:14:27You've canceled everyone, but of course, you're not everyone.
00:14:29I couldn't go another day without seeing you.
00:14:32Uh...
00:14:32Tristan, I'm...
00:14:33Sorry, but...
00:14:35I'm married.
00:14:37I know.
00:14:38It's, uh...
00:14:40To Silas.
00:14:40Who's this stray dog that you picked up?
00:14:43But now that I'm back, you can cancel this joke wedding and...
00:14:46Elaine?
00:14:47Will you marry me?
00:14:51Tristan, 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.
00:15:03Look, you can take your time and honestly just seeing you tonight.
00:15:06I mean, that was enough for me.
00:15:08Good night.
00:15:11Tristan.
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?
00:15:24I can help you, Evan.
00:15:25No way.
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.
00:15:57I can't sleep.
00:15:58Lots of high tea might help.
00:16:02Wait.
00:16:04Are 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.
00:16:13Never 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.
00:16:31Kind and gentle is just another way of saying weak.
00:16:35Get some rest.
00:16:36It's late.
00:16:46Hello?
00:16:47Hi, Uncle Mark.
00:16:48I know it's late, but...
00:16:49I need a favor.
00:16:51Hudson Yards.
00:16:53Look, I'm gonna stop you right there.
00:16:55That 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.
00:17:02Got 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 and I promise you we will exceed
00:17:32your expectations.
00:17:36Don't worry, Miss Sterling.
00:17:40Hudson Yards is yours.
00:17:45Contract's already drawn up.
00:17:46Just 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.
00:17:52Someone I trust vouch for Sterling Group personally.
00:17:55I have complete faith.
00:17:58Here.
00:18:02Who will exactly vouch for us?
00:18:05Let's just say it's someone who is very close to you.
00:18:11It had to be Tristan.
00:18:14It had to be Tristan.
00:18:15Thank you, Mr. Whitmore.
00:18:17We will not let you down.
00:18:19I am sure you won't.
00:18:29Hey.
00:18:30Sir.
00:18:31I followed your instructions to the letter, Mr. Lancaster.
00:18:35Mrs. Sterling, she just signed the contract.
00:18:37Great.
00:18:38We had big time, Mark.
00:18:40Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:18:41I'm...
00:18:41I'm happy that I was able to help.
00:18:44If there's anything else you need, just say the word.
00:18:49Hey, Lane.
00:18:49Look, I'm so sorry.
00:18:50Tristan, we got the Hudson Yards project.
00:18:52It is all thanks to you.
00:18:54You're a lifesaver.
00:18:56Wait.
00:18:57Uncle Mark said that the project had already been assigned.
00:19:00Did he change his mind to do me a favor?
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:03No big deal.
00:19:04I mean, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters.
00:19:07Can I get you lunch?
00:19:09No.
00:19:09After everything you've done, I owe you this one.
00:19:22Oh, my cheeks feel hot.
00:19:25I think I've had too much.
00:19:27Really?
00:19:27I mean...
00:19:28I think you look gorgeous.
00:19:29I mean, as always.
00:19:31You know, I remember when we were in college.
00:19:33Everyone used to say that we were so good together.
00:19:37I think if I'd never left for London, then we would've 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 when the contract had left?
00:19:55I've been waiting here for six, seven hours.
00:19:59I'm having lunch with a friend, so you can just go, okay?
00:20:04Are you even drinking?
00:20:05God, are you dropping already?
00:20:07I am hanging out here.
00:20:08Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:20:10This must be Silas, right?
00:20:12Yeah.
00:20:13I'm Tristan Whitmore.
00:20:15Elaine's ex-boyfriend.
00:20:17Elaine'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...
00:20:25We should probably just walk away.
00:20:26Before things get ugly, of course.
00:20:28Okay.
00:20:29Silas, don't read into this.
00:20:31I'm treating Tristan to lunch because he helped me land the Hudson Yards deal.
00:20:36We had a little bit too much to drink.
00:20:39I'll be home soon.
00:20:42You crossed the line, Tristan.
00:20:45Okay, look.
00:20:45I'm sorry, right?
00:20:47But I hate seeing you with that guy when you could be with me.
00:20:51I mean, you're way out of his league.
00:20:53Come on.
00:20:54Forget it.
00:20:54I should go.
00:20:55I'm just gonna get an oopie.
00:20:56Elaine, please.
00:20:57Look, 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?
00:21:05And then we're gonna toast it.
00:21:09Sound good?
00:21:10Yeah.
00:21:12Cheers.
00:21:12Cheers.
00:21:13Cheers.
00:21:13To us.
00:21:14To us.
00:21:16And to our past.
00:21:26I...
00:21:27You should go.
00:21:28It's...
00:21:28It's good.
00:21:30Wait, hey, hey.
00:21:31Hey!
00:21:32Wait!
00:21:33Are you okay?
00:21:34I think I dreamt you.
00:21:36Okay, okay, okay. Just last night.
00:21:38Yeah?
00:21:46Okay, you know.
00:21:48You're even more beautiful than I remember.
00:21:50I never stopped mourning you.
00:21:52No, Tristan, stop. I'm married.
00:21:58I can't resist you.
00:22:00Tristan, stop. Stop!
00:22:02I want to be with you, yeah?
00:22:04I want to be with, I want us to be together.
00:22:07Don't, Silas.
00:22:09Together, our families
00:22:10will be the most powerful in the city.
00:22:12No, don't!
00:22:14No!
00:22:24Silas?
00:22:25He actually fights on you.
00:22:28Hey! No! Silas!
00:22:30Silas, stop!
00:22:31Leave him alone!
00:22:33So, you're Silas, huh?
00:22:35The loser who has been leeching off of her for three years?
00:22:38Well, you know, now that you hit me,
00:22:40I can't finish.
00:22:42Quick!
00:22:45Silas, apologize to Tristan now.
00:22:50Silas, apologize to Tristan now.
00:22:52He fought himself on top of you.
00:22:54You want me to apologize?
00:22:56Apologize.
00:23:04I'm sorry.
00:23:08Good boy.
00:23:10You know, I'm gonna slide this down.
00:23:13It's for Lance's sake.
00:23:16Okay.
00:23:17Okay.
00:23:18Look.
00:23:18I'm so sorry about earlier.
00:23:20I was drunk, okay?
00:23:21It was my mistake.
00:23:22I didn't hurt you right.
00:23:22Look, I'm sorry.
00:23:23It was my fault.
00:23:24It was my fault.
00:23:25Okay.
00:23:26It's fine.
00:23:27Look, it's late.
00:23:28We should just go.
00:23:29Well, we'll talk later, right?
00:23:31Can I talk to you later?
00:23:48Elaine, how did it go with Mr. Whitmore?
00:23:51Did you get the Hudson Yards project?
00:23:53Judging by that look?
00:23:55I'm guessing not.
00:23:58Contract side?
00:24:00What?
00:24:01Wow.
00:24:03Isn't that fast?
00:24:04It feels like this usually takes weeks to negotiate.
00:24:08While Tristan talked to his uncle.
00:24:11He really went out of his way to vouch for us.
00:24:14Of course, Tristan.
00:24:16There's one person who knows how to get things done.
00:24:20Unlike some people who just mooch off others and never do anything useful ever.
00:24:27You think Tristan got you Hudson Yards?
00:24:36What?
00:24:37So if it wasn't Tristan, then who was it?
00:24:39You?
00:24:43Go make us dinner.
00:24:45Can't you see that we're starving?
00:24:59I get why you're upset.
00:25:01But I appreciate you keeping your cool back at the restaurant.
00:25:05If you'd hit Tristan, things would have gotten a lot worse.
00:25:07You're thanking me for not hitting him.
00:25:09He tried to rape you.
00:25:10But since you think he got you the deal, you're gonna...
00:25:13Bloodslide?
00:25:15You're overreacting.
00:25:16Tristan was drunk.
00:25:17He didn't mean it.
00:25:20And...
00:25:20You have no idea how important this deal is for Sterling Group.
00:25:26Tristan was the only one who could help.
00:25:28Just... just try to understand, okay?
00:25:31You think Tristan Whitmore got you the deal?
00:25:34Tristan might be a Whitmore, but...
00:25:36His uncle sure as hell did not give him a seven-figure contract because his nephew asked nicely.
00:25:42Okay.
00:25:43Well then who vouched for us?
00:25:46I don't know.
00:25:47Could be anybody.
00:25:48But it sure as hell was a Tristan Whitmore.
00:25:52Look, you don't need to be jealous of Tristan.
00:25:56We're married, for God's sake. I'd never cross that line.
00:25:59Look, Elena, you'd grow up.
00:26:01Your grandfather started this company for nothing.
00:26:03Don't be the one to ruin his legs.
00:26:11Ruin it?
00:26:12Are you kidding me?
00:26:14I am the reason that Sterling Group is thriving.
00:26:17You, on the other hand, are just a house husband living off of my family.
00:26:23But now you think that you can lecture me?
00:26:26You've really forgotten your place, haven't you?
00:26:30I mean, I protected you too much.
00:26:32Because you are still just a spoiled princess who never had a face reality.
00:26:38Call me spoiled all you want, but you protect me.
00:26:43Really?
00:26:45Driving me around, cooking, driving, waiting around for me.
00:26:49That is not protection, that's a family.
00:26:53Tomorrow my promise to you grandfather ends.
00:26:56The time you finally learned the truth.
00:26:59Look, I've been holding your family together for three years now.
00:27:02You think Sterling Group's doing well because of you?
00:27:04No.
00:27:06Without me, you guys would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.
00:27:13How I guess Tristan really got under your skin, huh?
00:27:17You're actually saying that Sterling Group would fall apart without you.
00:27:22I'm just telling you the truth.
00:27:24Launch your tone with Elaine or I'll throw you out of this house.
00:27:29Just kick him out.
00:27:30I mean, a man who lives off his wife has no room to mouth off.
00:27:33Mom. Dad, please.
00:27:34Silas was just upset.
00:27:38Don't offend him, dear.
00:27:40You fulfilled your grandpa's last wish.
00:27:43Been married for three years now.
00:27:45It's time you file for divorce.
00:27:48Exactly.
00:27:49It's time for you to dump this lady.
00:27:52Alright, Silas, listen.
00:27:54You crossed the line.
00:27:56Right.
00:27:57I am generous enough to give you another chance.
00:28:02Say you're sorry.
00:28:04And we'll forget this happened.
00:28:08You want me to apologize?
00:28:10Yes.
00:28:12What, do you have a problem with that?
00:28:14You heard her.
00:28:16Apologize.
00:28:17Now.
00:28:20I'm losing my patience here, Silas.
00:28:23This is your last chance.
00:28:28And if I don't?
00:28:30Then we're done.
00:28:31You're out of the Sterling family for good.
00:28:34You hear that?
00:28:35If you don't apologize, you're out.
00:28:38So get to it.
00:28:45Then we're done.
00:28:46Let's get a divorce.
00:28:48Wha...
00:28:51Wha...
00:28:51What did you just say?
00:28:53Marriage court is closed by now, but we'll go tomorrow morning.
00:28:56Get the papers signed.
00:29:00Did I hear that right?
00:29:03Silas wants to divorce you?
00:29:05Oh, thank God.
00:29:08You can do so much better than him, sweetheart.
00:29:11But what if Silas changes his mind?
00:29:13We know how obsessed he is with Elaine.
00:29:16And then we drag him to court ourselves.
00:29:18This divorce is happening tomorrow.
00:29:20Don't forget.
00:29:21It was his idea.
00:29:22Even if he changes his mind.
00:29:25I'm not forgiving him this time.
00:29:27Just forget that, loser.
00:29:29Well, if no one's cooking...
00:29:31Looks like we're going out.
00:29:33Why don't you choose?

00:37:10I breathe again
00:37:15Silas
00:37:17There's not a single trace of you left in the house
00:37:21Is this on purpose?
00:37:23Is this your way of punishing me by erasing yourself from my life?
00:37:31Rise high and pray
00:37:35Just to breathe again
00:37:40Gone
00:37:43Everything's gone
00:37:48Silas
00:37:49You think that ghosting me
00:37:51Makes you the winner?
00:37:53I don't ever want to see your face again
00:38:03We're throwing you a fresh dark fiesta
00:38:05To celebrate your divorce
00:38:07We're at Tristan's house
00:38:08Get over here
00:38:08No, Rebecca, I'm not really near you
00:38:11Hello?
00:38:12I don't know
00:38:31Lynn, congrats
00:38:32I mean, freedom's never looked so good on you
00:38:44Thanks
00:38:50What's up with Elaine?
00:38:52I thought she was into you
00:38:55Look, we just
00:38:56We just had a little misunderstanding last time I saw her
00:38:59I think she might still be mad
00:39:02Well, she's single again
00:39:04Golden opportunity like this doesn't fall into your lap every day
00:39:07Don't screw it up
00:39:09I won't let it slip this time
00:39:17Fiona can't make it
00:39:19We're swamped with exams
00:39:22She told us to take care of Elaine without her
00:39:25Let's start
00:39:28Elaine, today's all about you
00:39:31Come on, say something
00:39:32What's it like being single again?
00:39:36What's it like being single again?
00:39:41I don't really feel anything
00:39:45I don't really feel anything
00:39:47It's all good, just say whatever comes to mind, Elaine
00:39:50Yeah
00:39:52We know the past three years sucked for you
00:39:54So now that you finally got rid of that loser Silas, you must have something to say
00:39:58Uh, these last three years have been rough
00:40:05You all know that my grandfather chose Silas, not me
00:40:11I thought that when we finally got divorced I'd be happy
00:40:15And you are now, right?
00:40:18No
00:40:20We signed the papers ten hours ago and I'm not happy at all
00:40:24Like not even a little
00:40:26Seriously?
00:40:27Don't tell me you regret filing for divorce
00:40:30Regretting?
00:40:31Of course not
00:40:32I mean, the divorce is exactly what I wanted
00:40:34I just don't understand why I'm not happy
00:40:40Maybe Silas spoiled you
00:40:41I mean, he was waiting on you hand and foot
00:40:44And for him to just suddenly be gone?
00:40:45Like, that's probably fair
00:40:47Yeah, like I was obsessed with you
00:40:49I bet he's crying his eyes out now
00:40:53I'm not so sure about that
00:40:55Because he vanished completely
00:40:57Didn't leave a single trace behind
00:41:00Well, there's one way to find out
00:41:03Let's play
00:41:04Dog Whistle
00:41:07Dog Whistle
00:41:11That's perfect
00:41:12Okay, Elaine
00:41:12Go ahead
00:41:13We're kind of far from the city
00:41:15So let's give him say 15 minutes to get here
00:41:18Okay
00:41:18Come on, guys
00:41:20I am divorced now
00:41:22Elaine, it's a phone call
00:41:24Besides, he loved it
00:41:26That guy showed up right on cue every time
00:41:28Every time, really?
00:41:30It's too far
00:41:3115 minutes is impossible
00:41:34Okay, let's just call it a night
00:41:36But thank you guys for the party
00:41:38That's how we are
00:41:39Are you scared?
00:41:40Do you want to show up this time?
00:41:43Come on, Elaine
00:41:44Don't be such a buzzkill
00:41:45I mean, we're just trying to have some fun
00:41:47Come on
00:41:49I mean, don't you want to see if your little lap dog still comes on your command?
00:41:54Fine
00:42:01Your call has been forwarded to voicemail
00:42:10Did he actually block you?
00:42:14Silas
00:42:14What are you doing?
00:42:16No, there is no way that Silas would block Elaine
00:42:19He's probably playing some game with her to get her attention
00:42:24Exactly
00:42:24That loser is sneakier than he looks
00:42:27He's probably just trying to mess with your head
00:42:29He's not worth thinking about
00:42:31I just want to know what his game is
00:42:35Can you call him from your phone?
00:42:37Tell him he has 15 minutes to get here
00:42:40And if he does, I might give him a second chance
00:42:46Wait, so you're saying you're going to give him another chance?
00:42:48Relax, man
00:42:49We're just making fun of that idiot Silas
00:43:06Oh, maybe he didn't block Elaine
00:43:09He just got rid of his number
00:43:11Wait, you guys don't think that he's so heartbroken over Elaine that he would be suicidal
00:43:19I mean, think about it
00:43:21Elaine, he was crazy about you
00:43:23You divorced him out of nowhere
00:43:25What if he can't handle life without you?
00:43:27Really? I mean, like
00:43:29Okay, he's pathetic
00:43:30But is he that pathetic?
00:43:32Obsession makes people do crazy things
00:43:34Elaine was basically his only reason for living
00:43:40Silas, apologize to Tristan now
00:43:42Then we're done
00:43:43You're out of the Sterling family
00:43:46For good
00:43:47So that's it then
00:43:49Come out for good
00:43:53Oh, hey
00:43:54Hey, Elaine, are you okay?
00:43:55My chest hurts
00:43:56I'm calling 911
00:43:58No, no, no, no, no
00:43:59I'll be okay
00:44:00Wait, wait, wait
00:44:01Everybody back up
00:44:01Give her air
00:44:04Jeez
00:44:05You don't really think that Silas would hurt himself, right?
00:44:09I mean, he may be pathetic, but we were still together for three years
00:44:13I don't want anything to happen to him
00:44:15Can one of you guys go to his place?
00:44:18Where is it?
00:44:22I don't know
00:44:26He owned a loft before we got married
00:44:28Maybe check there?
00:44:29We barely know the guy, Elaine
00:44:32You're the one who was married to him for three years
00:44:34You seriously don't know where he lived?
00:44:37I guess not
00:44:39You never went to his place?
00:44:42No
00:44:42Never
00:44:46Wait, you guys were married for three years and you never went to his house?
00:44:50Look, Silas, he probably lives like in some cabin out in the woods somewhere
00:44:55I mean, why should Elaine trek out into the wilderness?
00:44:58Well, everyone knows it was a fake marriage anyway
00:45:02Elaine, does he have any friends or family we could contact?
00:45:05No, I never met any of his friends
00:45:08Let alone his family
00:45:11For three years, Silas took care of everything
00:45:15What I ate, what I wore, where I slept
00:45:19But I never bothered to learn anything about his life
00:45:22He got a big settlement in the divorce, right?
00:45:25Maybe his info is on the paperwork
00:45:26He left with nothing
00:45:28He even returned to the car that he drove around in
00:45:31Wait, so then what was he after?
00:45:35Elaine, of course
00:45:36She's gorgeous
00:45:39She's smart
00:45:39She's sexy
00:45:40I mean, what guy wouldn't want to be with her?
00:45:42No way, man
00:45:43Everyone knows that they didn't even share a bed
00:45:51Alright, let's forget about Silas
00:45:53And let's just have some time
00:45:54Yeah?
00:45:56Get yourself a drink
00:45:57No, I'm going to find him
00:46:05Silas used to wait here for me after work
00:46:12I had plans for a stage in your way
00:46:17Silas always helps me shop here
00:46:28Silas, where are you?
00:46:30Just tell me what game you're playing
00:46:32Thanks for keeping it so
00:46:40Can you do me a huge favor?
00:46:53What was that?
00:46:54Can you see?
00:46:58Hey, Fiona
00:47:00Got plans tonight?
00:47:02I've got VIP tickets to the Rangers game
00:47:04I have plans tonight, probably
00:47:06Busy
00:47:08Yeah, I've uh
00:47:10I've actually got plans too tonight
00:47:12I forgot
00:47:15You know
00:47:16I'm the captain of the swim team
00:47:18I could
00:47:19I hope she
00:47:20I hope you guys
00:47:22One on one
00:47:24Yeah
00:47:29Who the hell are you?
00:47:30Can't you see I'm busy?
00:47:32Yeah, so
00:47:32Coach Smith is out today
00:47:34How about your sub?
00:47:36Coach Lancaster
00:47:37Is that Elaine's ex-husband?
00:47:40He coaches college swimming part-time?
00:47:42Yeah
00:47:43Coach me
00:47:44That's hilarious
00:47:46It is?
00:47:47Why is that?
00:47:47You really think you can teach me anything about swimming?
00:47:50I'm the captain of the goddamn swim team
00:47:56Look, I don't care if you're the champion or the 10 of them
00:48:00While I'm here, listen to me
00:48:02He doesn't seem as spineless as Elaine said
00:48:05Why are you so cocky?
00:48:06You're just a substitute
00:48:07You really think you can teach me anything about swimming?
00:48:11I promise you I am more than qualified to be your coach
00:48:13Don't gotta question that
00:48:14Okay
00:48:15Coach qualified
00:48:16You think you can handle a little challenge?
00:48:19Challenge
00:48:21What are you thinking?
00:48:22A race
00:48:23You beat me?
00:48:24I'll admit you're good enough to coach us
00:48:26Sure
00:48:27Sounds good
00:48:27Let's do it
00:48:29Oh
00:48:30Not so fast
00:48:31If you lose
00:48:32You can strip naked
00:48:33And bark like a dog
00:48:35You still feel ready?
00:48:39Bradley's not just the captain
00:48:40He's training for the Olympics
00:48:43The guy's a bullet in the water
00:48:45Most coaches wouldn't last a lap against him
00:48:48Bradley
00:48:49Coach Lancaster's our sub today
00:48:50Show him some respect
00:48:51This is between us, Fiona
00:48:53Stay out of it
00:48:55Coach Lancaster
00:48:56You don't have to take the challenge
00:48:57No, it's fine
00:48:59I haven't swam in ages
00:49:01I could use a stretch
00:49:04Let's get to it
00:49:07Oh no
00:49:08He's asking for trouble
00:49:09Did the divorce really hit him that hard?
00:49:12Bradley, come on
00:49:13Let's go
00:49:13Bradley, lock in
00:49:14Lock in
00:49:15Lock in
00:49:15Lock in
00:49:15Come on
00:49:17Alright, tough guy
00:49:18You've got stones
00:49:19I'll give you that
00:49:21100 meter freestyle
00:49:23Right here
00:49:24Right now
00:49:30Wow
00:49:31Those abs
00:49:32Okay
00:49:34Definitely didn't see those coming
00:49:35Hey, old man
00:49:36I've worn up there in ages, huh?
00:49:38Why don't you just quit now?
00:49:39We don't want you drowning in the pool
00:49:42Okay
00:49:4350 meters down
00:49:4550 back
00:49:46The first to touch the wall wins
00:49:48All right, Coach Lancaster
00:49:49We got this
00:49:50Come on
00:49:51The last time I swam across the Pacific was
00:49:55What?
00:49:56500 years ago?
00:49:57Gotta miss that
00:50:02Watch this
00:50:04Watch this
00:50:17Keep pushing
00:50:19Why is it freezing all of a sudden?
00:50:30There's a shark!
00:50:31There's a fucking shark!
00:50:34A shark?
00:50:43Coach Lancaster touches first
00:50:44Bradley bailed halfway
00:50:46The race goes to the coach
00:50:55I saw a fucking shark!
00:50:58Shark
00:50:59Shark
00:51:00Shark
00:51:02I guess we're gonna need a bigger pool
00:51:04Sorry, Bradley
00:51:05No one saw anything weird
00:51:08You're really doubling down on this whole shark sighting?
00:51:11Am I seeing things?
00:51:13God, I've got to be lazy
00:51:14Too much damn stress
00:51:16I'm with a 500 meter butterfly
00:51:18I'll give you a 400 meter head start
00:51:20It's unfair
00:51:25No
00:51:26No
00:51:27I'm just
00:51:27I'm off my day
00:51:29You
00:51:30You win
00:51:34Bradley's been acting like he owns the whole damn pool
00:51:36because his dad's on the board and he's swim captain
00:51:38It's always creeping on girls
00:51:41I'm glad someone finally knocked him down a notch
00:51:48Our men in flag bugs
00:51:59Girl
00:52:01Admit it, you have a thing for Coach Lancaster
00:52:04No
00:52:05You do
00:52:05It's not true! I do not!
00:52:08It's not true.
00:52:11I swear, don't look at me like that.
00:52:20All right guys, good practice today. Have a good one and uh...
00:52:31Coach Lancaster, wait, you really don't remember me?
00:52:35Should I?
00:52:37I mean, we've met a few times.
00:52:39I'm Fiona Ashton, Elaine's best friend.
00:52:43Yeah, yeah, that's right. Um, did you, did you need something?
00:52:49No.
00:52:51Great, have a good day.
00:52:56How can someone be so clueless about women? It's driving me nuts.
00:53:03Ow.
00:53:07Hey, Fiona, are you okay?
00:53:10My stomach, it, it hurts.
00:53:14It hurts right here. Abs feel hard and tight.
00:53:18How do you know?
00:53:19It's an abdominal muscle spasm. It happens when you don't warm up properly before swimming.
00:53:23Great. Student health center's probably closed by now.
00:53:27Don't worry, I can then call an ambulance.
00:53:30No way, I'll pass out before it ever gets here.
00:53:34Well, I know something that might help, but you gotta trust me.
00:53:38You can take this pain away?
00:53:39What do you know, sports medicine or something?
00:53:44Not exactly. It's just a treat I picked up from an old dealer.
00:53:50Or I can go to the ambulance.
00:53:52No, okay, please just, just help me.
00:53:56Okay.
00:53:59Here, light out.
00:54:03And lift your shirt up.
00:54:06I need to see your stomach.
00:54:08It's okay, Fiona. You can trust me.
00:54:16It might hurt a little bit, but just try to relax and keep your ass closed.
00:54:21Alright?
00:54:43Should be all good to go.
00:54:45Oh my god.
00:54:47My pain is totally gone. How did you...
00:54:51Wait a minute.
00:54:53I want to you.
00:54:56You are?
00:55:00That old healer you talk about?
00:55:03It's Mr. Miyagi, isn't it?
00:55:06God, you are unreal, Coach Lancaster.
00:55:09I mean, is there anything that you can't do?
00:55:12Well, when you live long enough...
00:55:17Anyways.
00:55:19Just, uh, warm up properly.
00:55:21Some dry clothes only if you're swimming and, uh, should be good.
00:55:25I'll be more diligent.
00:55:27I promise.
00:55:28Well, I, uh, guess I should be going then.
00:55:32Wait.
00:55:33Are you gonna be running next swim practice too?
00:55:37Yeah.
00:55:38Yeah, looks like it.
00:55:40Um, do you maybe want to get lunch after?
00:55:45My treat.
00:55:46Just a little way of saying thank you for helping me out.
00:55:50Thanks, bud.
00:55:52I'll pass.
00:55:53Have a good day.
00:55:57Seriously?
00:55:58Near, I thought that we were finally getting somewhere.
00:56:18It's been a whole week, and there's still no news of you.
00:56:24It's been a whole week.
00:56:24Silas, did you really disappear from my life for good?
00:56:32Elaine?
00:56:34Where have you been?
00:56:35We've all been trying to reach you for days.
00:56:36Just, work's been crazy.
00:56:39You know that you can talk to me, right?
00:56:41So what's next for you?
00:56:44Got any plans after the divorce?
00:56:46I heard Tristan's back in town.
00:56:48You two getting back together?
00:56:50Didn't know you were such a gossip, Fiona.
00:56:53Honestly, I don't feel anything for Tristan anymore.
00:56:57So there's still hope for her and Silas.
00:57:00Maybe they'll find their way back to each other.
00:57:04If you don't feel anything for Tristan, then why'd you get a divorce?
00:57:08I mean, I know that you and Silas fought a lot, but this time feels final.
00:57:19So that's it then.
00:57:21Bye for good.
00:57:25Maybe he just got tired.
00:57:28He got tired?
00:57:29Are you saying that Silas was the one who wanted the divorce?
00:57:32Of course not.
00:57:33I was the one who ended.
00:57:35For what it's worth, Elaine, I think that Silas is a really good man.
00:57:43Come on.
00:57:48I think maybe you should take some time to think things through.
00:57:51Don't let pride make you walk away from someone that really cares about you.
00:57:55You really think he's a good man?
00:57:58A good man doesn't freeload off of my family for three years.
00:58:01He sure as hell doesn't marry a woman who's already in love with someone else.
00:58:05Wasn't Silas a victim too?
00:58:07I mean, your grandfather forced that marriage on the both of you.
00:58:11He was just trying to honor his wishes.
00:58:13And no matter how badly you treated him, Silas never lost his temper.
00:58:17Doesn't that have to count for something?
00:58:22You called me.
00:58:23I thought you were in trouble.
00:58:25But you were just behind my back calling me a dumb chud to your friends?
00:58:28That's right.
00:58:30Then we're done.
00:58:31You are out of the Sterling family for good.
00:58:35Maybe you're right, Fiona.
00:58:38But it doesn't matter. We're already divorced.
00:58:41You were married to Silas for three years, but you never really knew each other.
00:58:47Maybe this divorce could be the chance to start things over.
00:58:50Sit down with him as equals. Talk things through.
00:58:54You both deserve at least that much.
00:58:58I'd love to.
00:59:00But I don't even know where Silas is anymore.
00:59:03Well, then it's a good thing I do.
00:59:06You know where Silas is?
00:59:08He's been subbing as a swim coach at my university.
00:59:10Is he going to be there tomorrow?
00:59:12Yeah, I think so.
00:59:15Elaine, what's going on? You look kind of tense.
00:59:18It's nothing. It's just a slight headache.
00:59:21Come on. I'll take you home.
00:59:25Black Ivory Coffee. Your favorite coffee.
00:59:29I had it flown in from Thailand this morning just for you.
00:59:32You're trying to butter me up.
00:59:33What do you want, kid?
00:59:35Am I really so obvious?
00:59:38Well, look, as you know, I've been back home for a couple of days.
00:59:41And I have been dying to help out with the family business.
00:59:45I was thinking I could take point on the Hudson Yards.
00:59:48That is a great idea.
00:59:49It's good to see you stepping up for the family.
00:59:53Thank you so much.
00:59:54I will not let you down, okay?
00:59:57Oh, I also did want to ask.
01:00:00I heard that there was going to be a VIP guest at the Whitmore Estate.
01:00:04Who exactly is that person?
01:00:13Tristan, tell me, have you ever seen a god?
01:00:18Are you being serious?
01:00:20I haven't seen a god.
01:00:21I don't think anyone has seen a god.
01:00:24You'd be surprised.
01:00:25Imagine someone lives for over 2,000 years.
01:00:29You've seen the rise and fall of civilizations.
01:00:32Commanded armies that have changed the course of history.
01:00:36They've mastered every field of human knowledge.
01:00:39And they have a speed and a strength beyond human capabilities.
01:00:45What would you call him?
01:00:462,000 years, you say, huh?
01:00:48Is there really a person like that?
01:00:50The world is a strange place, Tristan.
01:00:52Just because you haven't seen him, that doesn't mean he isn't.
01:00:58All right, guys, practice.
01:00:59You can go home.
01:01:08Ah, there's fun.
01:01:09I couldn't get the butterfly stroke if you show me.
01:01:11It's Coach Lancaster and we're on camp.
01:01:14Fine.
01:01:15Coach Lancaster, could you please show me the butterfly again?
01:01:19Better.
01:01:20Coach Lancaster.
01:01:22Hey, I've been expecting you.
01:01:24Great to see you again.
01:01:26Oh, I'm sorry.
01:01:28Are you guys in the middle of something?
01:01:30No, it can wait.
01:01:31Okay, great.
01:01:33Then I'd like to have a word with you in my office.
01:01:35Yeah, of course.
01:01:37Why is Dean Brown fanboying all over Silas?
01:01:40Is he really just a part-time swim coach?
01:01:48Wait.
01:01:53Silas, what the hell are you doing?
01:01:55Did you really change your number just to avoid me?
01:01:58I had that number to stay in contact with.
01:02:01We're divorced now.
01:02:02Why keep it?
01:02:03So you just disappear?
01:02:05Walk out of my life like I never meant anything to you?
01:02:08Are you really that cold?
01:02:10Cold.
01:02:11I didn't ask for a divorce.
01:02:13You didn't.
01:02:16Sit down with those hate things.
01:02:18Talk things through.
01:02:19You both deserve that much.
01:02:23You're right.
01:02:25I was the one who brought up the divorce.
01:02:29But I wasn't serious.
01:02:30Look, I just want to talk to you.
01:02:33Can you please give me a chance?
01:02:46What?
01:02:47Used to pull out my chair for me every single time we went out.
01:02:52Didn't take you long to drop that habit, did it?
01:02:54We were divorced.
01:02:55That's in the past.
01:02:58You.
01:03:03Fine.
01:03:04We're not a couple anymore, but we're still friends.
01:03:08You could still pull out my chair for me.
01:03:11Show a little gentlemanly courtesy, right?
01:03:14We're not friends.
01:03:15I'm not going to be a gentleman.
01:03:16You don't get to play with my emotions anymore.
01:03:18What did you just say?
01:03:19Okay, so you didn't come here to have a conversation.
01:03:21This was a mistake.
01:03:22I'm going to go.
01:03:24How long do you plan on sulking for?
01:03:26You think I'm sulking?
01:03:27Look, maybe I was too harsh before.
01:03:31But it's been days, Silas.
01:03:34I swallowed my pride to talk things through.
01:03:37Don't you think it's time to let that all go?
01:03:39Okay, so you meant you've been harsh.
01:03:41Yes.
01:03:42I was wrong, I admit.
01:03:45That's why I'm here.
01:03:47To ask you to come back home.
01:03:51Want me to come back home?
01:03:53That's right.
01:03:54My parents got used to your cooking, and I got used to you taking care of me.
01:03:57If you come back, I won't be so hard on you.
01:04:01Maybe give you more spending money?
01:04:03So you want me to come back home and be a good boy for treats?
01:04:07Is that it?
01:04:08I mean, you really only view me as a family pet, don't you?
01:04:11I just want us to go back to living a good life.
01:04:14No, what you're saying is you want me to come back and cook for you,
01:04:18and clean for you, and be a servant to your family.
01:04:20That's not a good life.
01:04:21I don't-
01:04:22Don't test me, Silas.
01:04:24I'm running out of patience.
01:04:26If you came back to have a real conversation and apologize, I would listen.
01:04:30But you didn't.
01:04:31You came back to throw crumbs off your high horse.
01:04:33Because of that, I'm gonna go.
01:04:39Hey.
01:04:41I came here out of consideration for everything that you've done for me the past three years.
01:04:47But if you think that you can guilt me into submission, you are dead wrong.
01:04:52I am the Sterling heiress.
01:04:54I run half of the deals in the city.
01:04:57You really think that you can play games with me?
01:04:59You think you run half of the deals?
01:05:01That's really funny.
01:05:02Do you think any of these people would be lining up for you if it wasn't for my help?
01:05:06Your help?
01:05:07You, who the hell do you think you are, Silas?
01:05:09You keep talking to me like that.
01:05:11I swear to god, I will take like every single thing I've ever given you.
01:05:14I'm sorry, what was that?
01:05:16You're taking back everything you gave me.
01:05:20Please, don't make me laugh.
01:05:22God, you have been mooching off of the Sterlings for three years.
01:05:26And I never said a word, but peering you like this?
01:05:29Charles Sterling made this company 50 years ago, and you're gonna be the one to destroy it.
01:05:34You are still the same spoiled princess who never faced reality.
01:05:37You have learned your lesson.
01:05:39I feel like now's the time I should finally teach you that lesson.
01:05:42Well please, by all means, great and powerful Silas, show me the error of my ways.
01:05:48Hey guys, why are we fighting?
01:05:52I thought you said that you were gonna talk things through, Aline.
01:05:54Start over, remember?
01:05:56Yeah, that's not necessary anymore.
01:05:58You were wrong, Fiona.
01:05:59Silas is not a good man.
01:06:01He's just a pathetic clown.
01:06:03No, you must have misunderstood something.
01:06:06Silas isn't like that.
01:06:07He's a decent person.
01:06:08Seriously?
01:06:10The man has no real job.
01:06:12He just sponges off of women.
01:06:14He is all swagger and no substance.
01:06:16What is so decent about that?
01:06:18He's not like that at all.
01:06:20You have it all wrong.
01:06:21Whose side are you on here, Fiona?
01:06:22Aren't you my friend?
01:06:24I am, but Silas is my friend too.
01:06:28Since when?
01:06:32Wait, are you falling for him?
01:06:34No, no, it's not like that at all.
01:06:36I just, Silas is a good person and you're a good person too.
01:06:39I just don't think you guys should be fighting.
01:06:41Shut up, Fiona.
01:06:43If you think he's so great, then fine.
01:06:46He is all yours.
01:06:47Just don't ever speak to me again.
01:06:50Aline, wait.
01:06:53I'm sorry.
01:06:55Aline's just upset, so.
01:06:59No, don't defend her.
01:07:00She's still the same prideful Judd who is driven by ego
01:07:04and won't learn her lesson until life finally knocks her down.
01:07:07Knocks her down?
01:07:15Dad, why would Dean Brown act deferential towards someone?
01:07:19Warren Brown deferential?
01:07:20I find that hard to imagine.
01:07:22Yeah, he comes from old money.
01:07:24He's one of the most respected professors.
01:07:26He's worked with some of the most influential politicians and CEOs in the country.
01:07:31In this city, they defer to him, not the other way around.
01:07:36Weird.
01:07:37I definitely watched him totally fawn all over some of the time.
01:07:40What?
01:07:41Who was that?
01:07:42Warren Brown says it's time for you to wait.
01:07:44The president will wait for him.
01:07:46I find it hard to even earn that level of respect for him.
01:07:49Wow, so Dean Brown's really that big of a deal?
01:07:54So Silas can't be just some part-time coach.
01:07:58I need to tell Elaine.
01:08:04Oh, Elaine, you're here.
01:08:07Tristan, what are you doing here?
01:08:09Well, you know, Uncle Mark, he had me lead the Hudson project, run point.
01:08:14Really do some logistical work and managerial stuff.
01:08:17The board gets weekly updates.
01:08:19You don't need to meet privately with me to discuss things.
01:08:22Elaine, don't be so rude.
01:08:25This project has a lot of details.
01:08:27It's a big deal for us.
01:08:29Please, talk with Tristan.
01:08:31There's nothing to talk about.
01:08:33Elaine, what are you talking about?
01:08:36Tristan, please, don't take this personally.
01:08:39She's been on edge since the divorce.
01:08:42She didn't mean it.
01:08:43Right, Elaine?
01:08:44I will present the project updates at the next board meeting as planned.
01:08:49Tristan, it's Elaine.
01:08:52You realize I came back from London for you, right?
01:08:55And now what?
01:08:56Since you're divorced, you can't give me a chance?
01:08:58But, Elaine, don't be rude.
01:09:00This is me being polite.
01:09:02I have no interest in rehashing the past,
01:09:05so stop coming around to see me.
01:09:09Unbelievable.
01:09:10I mean, I get you the Hudson Yard project,
01:09:12and what, this is how you pay me back right now?
01:09:14Really?
01:09:15Nice try, Tristan.
01:09:16My people looked into Hudson Yards,
01:09:18and it was set aside for us long before your help.
01:09:24I mean, you're just a Nepo baby.
01:09:25You have zero influence over a deal this major.
01:09:29Hey, Mr. Whitmar already planned to give us the project.
01:09:32Why?
01:09:34Maybe he saw potential in us?
01:09:36Whatever the case, it has nothing to do with Tristan.
01:09:40So are you gonna leave, or do I need to show you the door?
01:09:43You'll regret this, Elaine.
01:09:51Elaine, you've been so tense lately.
01:09:54Is this about Silas?
01:09:56Of course not.
01:09:57I'm just sick of men proving that they are cut from the same disappointing cloth.
01:10:02What? What did I do?
01:10:05Silas, you wasted your chance.
01:10:08Don't come crawling to me when you finally realize it.
01:10:19What are you doing here, Silas?
01:10:21What?
01:10:22You've come to beg for your spot back at the Sterling house?
01:10:26Well, I hate to break it to you, but you're not welcome here anymore.
01:10:29What's the matter, Tristan?
01:10:30Sterling's took you out?
01:10:32Or maybe I just don't like you.
01:10:34Oh, man.
01:10:35In case of these days, I've got no respect.
01:10:37Don't call me kid.
01:10:39You asshole.
01:10:40I mean, if you hadn't messed up my dinner at the Japanese restaurant, I would be fucking Elaine by now.
01:10:46Oh, man.
01:10:52Fucking hit me.
01:10:54Break his legs.
01:10:56Okay, Mr. Whipple.
01:10:57Be careful there, Chugs.
01:10:59What you do right now, you can't undo.
01:11:01Big talk coming from a guy who was kicked on his ass to the street by the Sterlings.
01:11:07Now, what the fuck are you guys waiting for?
01:11:08Get him.
01:11:20Wow, that's pretty impressive.
01:11:23I see where you get your attitude, but if you have forgotten, you fucked with the Whitmores.
01:11:28That's practically a death sentence.
01:11:30You're gonna keep talking or you can actually do something.
01:11:32You listen to me.
01:11:34The Whitmores, we're meeting with a very important VIP tonight.
01:11:37Get on your knees and beg for my forgiveness.
01:11:41And I might just let this slide.
01:11:42And what if I told you that very important guest does me?
01:11:48I mean, you're kidding me, right?
01:11:50I mean, you're just a leech that suckles from the Sterlings.
01:11:54You think that VIP like you, who mooches off women, is that important?
01:11:59Hey, I'm here.
01:12:01Pick me up.
01:12:02Yes, sir.
01:12:03I'm on my way.
01:12:04The game's a point.
01:12:06Let's go.
01:12:08Would you stop with this game?
01:12:10I mean, who are you really trying to fool?
01:12:17Uncle Mark, what are you doing here?
01:12:23Our utmost respect, Divine One.
01:12:30Mr. Lancaster is more than sufficient.
01:12:32As you wish, Mr. Lancaster.
01:12:34I can't be serious.
01:12:35I mean, he's just a freeloader for the Sterlings.
01:12:38Shut up!
01:12:39I am not in a giving vein today.
01:12:42Mr. Lancaster only humbled himself living with that family so he could honor Charles Sterling's dying wish.
01:12:50He's too young to be the VIP.
01:12:51Mr. Lancaster is immortal.
01:12:53He's looked exactly the same for over 2,000 years.
01:12:57Mr. Lancaster, you listen up.
01:12:58Sixty years ago when he arrived, Mr. Lancaster made New York's most powerful families and corporations alive.
01:13:06Every one of their leaders swore loyalty to him.
01:13:10Willingly.
01:13:13You're kidding, right?
01:13:15Yet it is.
01:13:16Now, get on your knees and apologize to Mr. Lancaster.
01:13:21Mr. Lancaster, I am so sorry.
01:13:23I had no idea it was you.
01:13:24Please find it in your...
01:13:29I apologize for two reasons.
01:13:31One, I'm leaving New York.
01:13:32I'm into the world again and I'll be back for a few decades.
01:13:37When you return, we will be here.
01:13:39The Whitmore loyalty is yours today, tomorrow, and from every generation after us.
01:13:44Second, the Sterling.
01:13:47Sir, don't worry.
01:13:49I myself will make sure that the Sterlings are well taken care of in your absence.
01:13:53No.
01:13:53Charles Sterling made a Sterling company 50 years ago.
01:13:57Williams now fit to lead.
01:13:59Elaine is...
01:14:00Saraghan.
01:14:01She's too young.
01:14:02The Sterlings will fail.
01:14:04You were right.
01:14:05As always.
01:14:06What do you need for us?
01:14:08True the Sterling Group like any other company from here on out.
01:14:11With no special treatment, no exceptions.
01:14:16Understood.
01:14:23Miss Sterling, Whitmore just froze the Hudson Yards project.
01:14:26They're questioning the company's qualifications and want to audit the entire project proposal.
01:14:30What?
01:14:31Our vendors are freaking out.
01:14:33Some are demanding payment in advance?
01:14:35What should we do?
01:14:37Just try to reassure them.
01:14:39I'll sort this out when I get in.
01:14:42Damn it.
01:14:43This was never part of the deal.
01:14:45Do we have the audit file they're asking for?
01:14:47No.
01:14:48Whitmore's benchmarks are sky high.
01:14:50Sterling can't deliver and honestly, I can't even think of a company in New York that could.
01:14:54What the hell is wrong with the Whitmore's?
01:14:56Why mess with us?
01:14:58Wait.
01:14:59This has to be Tristan.
01:15:00You pissed him off and he's stormed out.
01:15:02This has to be payment.
01:15:04I don't think it's him.
01:15:06Who else could it be?
01:15:07Just call him and apologize.
01:15:10This business deal means everything for us.
01:15:13If Tristan really is trying to get back at us, do you actually think that apologizing would fix anything?
01:15:19Marry him.
01:15:21Marry him.
01:15:22He's into you and this is a perfect match for our families.
01:15:25What on earth are you talking about?
01:15:33You following me?
01:15:35Look, Uncle Mark, he told me to stick by you in case you need anything, so yeah.
01:15:40He's hoping by you hanging around, you'll uh, let me open.
01:15:43You don't miss a thing, do you, Mr. Lancaster?
01:15:46For Mark's sake.
01:15:47Sure.
01:15:48I'm gonna go for one more stroll around New York before I leave with the arrangements.
01:15:52Okay, absolutely, Mr. Lancaster.
01:15:53I'll take care of all of it.
01:16:00Mr. Lancaster, can we get you some water?
01:16:02Okay, that's fine, but...
01:16:08What the?
01:16:13What the hell?
01:16:14Your nose is so far up this loser's ass right now.
01:16:17You okay?
01:16:23What is wrong with you?
01:16:25You hit Gabriel over Silas?
01:16:27He kept you apart from Elaine for three years.
01:16:31What?
01:16:33Don't you two ever disrespect Mr. Lancaster again, okay? Otherwise we are done completely.
01:16:39What the hell? Does he have something on you or something?
01:16:42No, my respect for him is genuine. And here's a little piece of advice for you two. Mr. Lancaster's
01:16:47influence is far beyond anything you could ever imagine. You two better start showing him some
01:16:52respect and real self.
01:16:54Is Silas someone important?
01:16:56I don't know. The way that Tristan is acting, maybe?
01:17:00Maybe.
01:17:00We better just apologize to him and get out of here, okay?
01:17:04Silas! Mr. Lancaster, we are very sorry we never meant any disrespect.
01:17:10Don't worry about it. You guys were never worth it.
01:17:12Right. Well, that's good, I guess.
01:17:20It's the Sterlings.
01:17:23Tristan, honey, Elaine has something very important to say to you.
01:17:27Are you free right now? Maybe you could come over and have a chat.
01:17:30Sir, the Sterlings, they want to meet you. Should I turn them down?
01:17:34Let them come.
01:17:35You guys are welcome to come.
01:17:39I came as soon as I got your call. What's going on?
01:17:41We need to do a compliant audit for Hudson Yards, but we don't have the infrastructure set up yet.
01:17:48Your dad's an expert in that area. Is there any way you could help us?
01:17:52My dad's at a conference in Beijing, but I know someone who can.
01:17:56Please don't say Tristan.
01:17:57I was actually talking about Silas. Okay, I know I might sound crazy, but please just hear me out.
01:18:04Silas is actually a mythical being who has been alive for a long longer than we thought, originally.
01:18:28And it's a lot, I know.
01:18:32How could Silas possibly have anything to do with this? He's a complete nobody.
01:18:37I know it might be hard for you to believe, but Silas actually has a lot more power than you
01:18:42realize.
01:18:43So you know that I would never lie to you.
01:18:47Okay.
01:18:47Enough of this nonsense. Tristan's waiting. Elaine, let's go.
01:18:56Rebecca? Gabriel? What are you guys doing here?
01:19:00We just bumped into each other.
01:19:04Tristan, dear, you look more handsome every time I see you.
01:19:08Enough with the flattery, Miss Sherling.
01:19:09What are you really after?
01:19:10The Hudson Yards project seems to be put on hold,
01:19:13and we wondered if you could talk to your uncle.
01:19:17You know, smooth things over.
01:19:18Sorry, but I have no say in that.
01:19:20See? He has nothing to do with it.
01:19:22If you really want to talk to whoever calls the shots,
01:19:25you're going to have to speak to Mr. Lancaster himself.
01:19:28Mr. Lancaster?
01:19:30You mean Silas?
01:19:31Don't be ridiculous, Tristan.
01:19:34He doesn't have that kind of power.
01:19:35I mean, you guys only got the project
01:19:37because he was doing a favor for my Uncle Mark.
01:19:40Tristan, are you messing with me?
01:19:41Come on, everyone knows that you and Silas hate each other.
01:19:44You really expect me to believe a word of this?
01:19:46Would you believe it if I said it myself?
01:19:51Mr. Whitmore, how can we fix this Hudson Yards project?
01:19:54Mr. Whitmore, the Sterling Group might not have as much influence,
01:19:59but we signed a contract.
01:20:00You can't just push us around.
01:20:02Why do you think I gave you that contract in the first place?
01:20:05Sterling Group clearly didn't meet the qualification.
01:20:07It was a favor to Mr. Lancaster.
01:20:10Since he's no longer tied to your family,
01:20:12well, business is business.
01:20:14My God, so was Silas all along.
01:20:17What are we supposed to do now?
01:20:19I told you Elaine Silas was a good man, but no.
01:20:21Just had to go and divorce him.
01:20:23Silas, come out.
01:20:26I know you're here.
01:20:35Don't you want to teach a lesson, Sal?
01:20:38What did you learn?
01:20:40What, so that's what this is about?
01:20:42You wanted to see me break down,
01:20:44beg for your forgiveness?
01:20:46Oh, well, guess what?
01:20:48That is never gonna happen.
01:20:51Look, I don't know how you got to the Whitmore's,
01:20:53but Sterling Group will be just fine without Hudson Yards.
01:20:57We have plenty of other deals lined up.
01:20:58The truth is right in front of you.
01:21:00You're just choosing not to believe it.
01:21:02How do you explain the two harbor shipping licenses
01:21:05I secured last week?
01:21:07Massive shipments worth billions,
01:21:09moving in and out every day.
01:21:11You're telling me that's because of you too?
01:21:18Hey, the Sterling shipping license.
01:21:21Dan, both ports.
01:21:23Yeah, immediately.
01:21:24Thanks so much.
01:21:26You're still keeping up this little act, Silas?
01:21:29You really think that if you just snap your fingers,
01:21:32you can shut us down?
01:21:33Any second now.
01:21:35What?
01:21:42Miss Sterling, something's wrong.
01:21:44We just heard from the Port Authority.
01:21:45They're suspending both of our shipping licenses.
01:21:47What?
01:21:48Why is this happening to me?
01:21:50I worked so hard for all of this.
01:21:53It's over.
01:21:55I've lost everything.
01:21:58Elaine, don't say that.
01:22:00Silas is still here.
01:22:01You can fix this.
01:22:03So those contracts,
01:22:05all the partnerships,
01:22:07they were all because of you?
01:22:08You believe me now?
01:22:10All this time you were helping us
01:22:12from behind the scenes.
01:22:14Everything we have is because of you.
01:22:18God, I paraded around.
01:22:21Proud, arrogant,
01:22:22showing off in front of you
01:22:23like a complete fool.
01:22:25You put up with three years of that.
01:22:27God, you must have hated every minute of it.
01:22:30Doesn't matter now.
01:22:31I just did what a husband should do.
01:22:33And what you're always asked.
01:22:35That's all.
01:22:36I'm so sorry.
01:22:38Silas,
01:22:39I was terrible to you.
01:22:42I pushed you away.
01:22:43I blamed you for everything.
01:22:45As soon as we got divorced,
01:22:46I regretted it immediately.
01:22:48And I searched everywhere for you.
01:22:51But when I finally found you
01:22:53and had the chance to tell you,
01:22:55I let my pride get in the way.
01:22:57And I destroyed us all over again.
01:23:00I am so sorry.
01:23:02So sorry.
01:23:05It's true.
01:23:06Elaine's been miserable since the divorce.
01:23:09Yeah, totally.
01:23:09She tried to come back, but...
01:23:11I know.
01:23:13Silas used to wait here for me after work.
01:23:20I know you're sorry,
01:23:21and I accept your apology.
01:23:23And if you want,
01:23:24I can get Sterling Group back on track.
01:23:26I want to rebuild Sterling on my own.
01:23:29I just have one last question for you.
01:23:32Silas,
01:23:33these three years,
01:23:35you never really loved me.
01:23:37That your kindness and your patience,
01:23:40it was just pity, wasn't it?
01:23:42I'm sorry.
01:23:45Hey, Karen.
01:23:46We were never really equals.
01:23:48But I'm going to change that,
01:23:50step by step,
01:23:51on my own.
01:23:53Maybe one day,
01:23:54you'll finally respect me.
01:23:56I'm looking forward to it.
01:24:02I guess it really has changed.
01:24:05Yeah.
01:24:06She really has.
01:24:08So, Coach,
01:24:10what's next for you?
01:24:11I don't know.
01:24:12I still need to leave New York
01:24:13to the world.
01:24:15We're back in a few years, though.
01:24:16So it's changed.
01:24:17Take it easy, dude.
01:24:21Damn, Fiona,
01:24:22you are so into him.
01:24:24I am not.
01:24:25I know who he is.
01:24:26We're not blind.
01:24:27Look,
01:24:28everyone deserves a chance at happiness.
01:24:30So what are you waiting for?
01:24:32Silas, wait.
01:24:34Take me with you.
