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 buying a blink, huh?
00:01:14Yeah.
00:01:15I forgot how much time passed.
00:01:16Time catches up to everyone. Except you.
00:01:19So, who are you these days? No fun?
00:01:24Keepin' it easy. Part-time swim coach.
00:01:28Oh, sorry.
00:01:34You're done.
00:01:36You can tell me Charles now.
00:01:37What is it you want from me?
00:01:42You can always see right through me.
00:01:45After following you for 50 years, consider this my last request.
00:01:51After I'm gone, please take care of my family for the next three years.
00:02:02No.
00:02:03Deal.
00:02:04But 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 did I tell me, Charles? How 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? Are you okay?
00:02:21Elaine, I need you to... I want to introduce you to somebody.
00:02:25This is so funny.
00:02:25I'm Styliss Lancaster. And, um, starting tonight, he's your husband.
00:02:33Grandpa, what are you talking about? I don't even know this guy and I'm already in love with someone else.
00:02:38Dad, what the hell are you talking about? Who is this man?
00:02:42Mr. Lancaster is a respected college swimming coach and a far better man than whoever Elaine thinks she's in love
00:02:50with.
00:02:50Mom, Dad, please. I don't want to marry some stranger.
00:02:56If anyone dares to object, I will freeze every Sterling account.
00:03:02And I will go to my grave knowing that my family filled me.
00:03:09Elaine, don't be selfish. Do as your grandfather asks. He knows what's best.
00:03:14She's right, sweetheart. I'll arrange the marriage score.
00:03:18Don't worry, Dad. I'll wake it up.
00:03:26Alright, Grandpa. I'll marry him.
00:03:31It's the only way to make sure Mr. Lancaster watches over my family and our legacy for the next three
00:03:38years.
00:03:55We're here to put the Sterling facility out of commission for good. Understand?
00:04:01Got it, boss.
00:04:02Good, let's go.
00:04:11What the hell are you? Get the fuck out of here!
00:04:14Get on over here.
00:04:33He's the fucking monster!
00:04:37Run!
00:04:38Get on over him!
00:04:40Yeah.
00:04:56Where the hell are you?
00:04:57Uh, Sterling Factory in Jersey. Why?
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 ten minutes.
00:05:08Ten minutes, man?
00:05:09Don't get in cabin time.
00:05:11Not my problem.
00:05:12Figure it out.
00:05:17Well, what did the old ball in chain say?
00:05:20He said, sure, of course.
00:05:22Nice.
00:05:24Alright, game on.
00:05:26Ten 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.
00:05:37Alain, 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,
00:05:47I have given him so many chances to walk away,
00:05:50but he refuses to divorce me.
00:05:52So, fine.
00:05:53If he wants to stay that badly, he can stay.
00:05:56It's like having my own personal lap dog.
00:05:59Honestly, even calling him that is generous.
00:06:01He teaches swim lessons.
00:06:03Perfect.
00:06:06He actually coaches a D1 program.
00:06:09They're going to be going to national.
00:06:10The point is, you are Elaine Sterling,
00:06:13heirs 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,
00:06:35his family shipped him off so he could run the Italian office.
00:06:38But now that he's back,
00:06:40you should dump your useless stray mutt of a husband.
00:06:47Ten seconds and still no sign of old yeller.
00:06:54Guess you're losing this one.
00:07:00Oh, Gabriel.
00:07:08Damn, Elaine.
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 what'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,
00:07:37what 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,
00:08:04if she called you,
00:08:05you would show up straight away like a good boy.
00:08:08I gotta say,
00:08:10you didn't disappoint us.
00:08:11Seriously,
00:08:12there's so much traffic right now.
00:08:13How'd you get here?
00:08:14You have wings or something?
00:08:22You called me.
00:08:23You called me.
00:08:24I thought you were in trouble.
00:08:25About yours behind my back,
00:08:26calling me a dumb chud to your friends.
00:08:28That's right.
00:08:29Okay.
00:08:31Wait, are you like pissed or something?
00:08:34Oh, because I am just getting started.
00:08:52Well, if you hate it that much,
00:08:54then you can leave.
00:08:56I 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,
00:09:07take the deal and get the hell out of my life.
00:09:12If I hadn't promised your grandfather
00:09:14I'd take care of your family for three years,
00:09:16I'd have walked away a long time ago.
00:09:19Whatever.
00:09:20Only three days left.
00:09:21The time's up.
00:09:22The Sterlings will never see me again.
00:09:24Hey, freeloader.
00:09:25Elaine is talking to you.
00:09:27Or do you need her permission to speak, too?
00:09:36It's getting late.
00:09:37We'll meet you tomorrow.
00:09:38Come on, let me drive you home.
00:09:43Man.
00:09:45Elaine just humiliated you in front of everyone,
00:09:48and 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.
00:09:55No 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, she's got a temper.
00:10:14That's all.
00:10:15Try not to take it to heart.
00:10:19You didn'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...
00:10:28He's a monster.
00:10:30Good thing he didn't come after us,
00:10:31or 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.
00:10:38Makes sense.
00:10:39John's story's no gun.
00:10:40John's useless.
00:10:42Hunter's spoiled.
00:10:43But yet, they still own the fucking world's medicines.
00:10:46Scavenage.
00:10:47Ah, I 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 the 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,
00:11:21you 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,
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?
00:11:33They 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
00:12:02that 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?
00:12:56Perfect 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?
00:13:25I'm keeping you up.
00:13:26You can always take the couch.
00:13:28Don't worry about Hudson Yards.
00:13:30Alright?
00:13:31Don't overthink it.
00:13:33Yeah, like you know anything about business.
00:13:36It's not as simple as frying an egg.
00:13:53Hello?
00:13:55Elaine.
00:13:56I'm outside.
00:13:58I'm outside.
00:14:13I couldn't wait to see you.
00:14:15It's...
00:14:15It's been too long.
00:14:20Wait, I thought you weren't coming back for another three days.
00:14:24Oh.
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, uh...
00:14:40Silas.
00:14:40Who's this stray dog that you picked up?
00:14:42Yeah, but now that I'm back, you can cancel this joke wedding and...
00:14:46Elaine?
00:14:48Will you marry me?
00:14:51Tristan, 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.
00:15:12Tristan.
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?
00:15:24I can help you, Evan.
00:15:25No worries.
00:15:26Oh, thank you.
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?
00:15:33It 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.
00:15:56You can sleep.
00:15:58Lots of high tea might help.
00:16:01Wait.
00:16:04Are you really not going to 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, never complained.
00:16:16You're just a good man.
00:16:19Kind and gentle.
00:16:21But I need you to understand something.
00:16:24Even if you spent another decade by my side, nothing is ever going to happen between us.
00:16:31Kind and gentle is just another way of saying weak.
00:16:35Get some rest.
00:16:36Sleep.
00:16:46Hello?
00:16:47Hi, Uncle Mark, uh...
00:16:48I know it's late but...
00:16:49I need a favor.
00:16:51Hudson Yards.
00:16:53Look, I'm going to 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.
00:17:01Stay 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.
00:17:37Don't worry, Miss Sterling. Hudson Yards is yours.
00:17:45Contract'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 vouched for Sterling Group personally. I 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. It had to be Tristan.
00:18:15Thank you, Mr. Whitmore. We will not let you down.
00:18:19I am sure you won't.
00:18:29Hey.
00:18:30Sir, I followed your instructions to the letter, Mr. Lancaster.
00:18:35Mrs. Sterling, she just signed the contract.
00:18:37Oh, great. We had big time, Mark.
00:18:40Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:18:40I'm, I'm happy that I was able to help.
00:18:44If there's anything else you need, just say the word.
00:18:49Hey, 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.
00:18:57Uncle Mark said that the project had already been assigned.
00:19:00Did he change his mind to do me a favor?
00:19:02Yeah, no big deal.
00:19:04I mean, as long as you're happy, that's, that's all that matters.
00:19:07Um, can 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, I mean,
00:19:28I think you look gorgeous.
00:19:29I mean, as always.
00:19:31You know,
00:19:32I remember when we were in college.
00:19:34Everyone used to say that we were so good together.
00:19:37I think if I'd never left London,
00:19:39then 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 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,
00:20:01so you can just go, okay?
00:20:03Are you even drinking?
00:20:05God, we dropped it already?
00:20:07I am hanging out.
00:20:08No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:20:10This must be Silas, right?
00:20:12Yeah, I'm Tristan Whitmore.
00:20:15Elaine's ex-boyfriend.
00:20:17Elaine's ex?
00:20:18You know, I know that I left
00:20:20and she had to settle for someone else,
00:20:23but 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
00:20:33because he helped me land the Hudson Yards deal
00:20:35and we had a little bit too much to drink.
00:20:38I'll be home soon.
00:20:42You crossed the line, Tristan.
00:20:45Okay, look,
00:20:46I'm sorry, right?
00:20:47But I hate seeing you with that guy
00:20:50when 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
00:20:59and 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 to us
00:21:16and to our past.
00:21:26I should go.
00:21:28It's, it's getting...
00:21:30Wait, hey, hey, hey.
00:21:31Hey, Elaine, are you okay?
00:21:34I think I drank too much.
00:21:36Okay, okay, okay.
00:21:37This is last night, yeah?
00:21:48You're even more beautiful than I remember.
00:21:50I never stopped mourning you.
00:21:52No, Tristan, stop.
00:21:53I'm married.
00:21:57I can't resist you.
00:22:00Tristan, stop.
00:22:01Stop!
00:22:02I want to be with you, yeah?
00:22:04I want to be with...
00:22:05I want us to be together.
00:22:07Dump silence.
00:22:08Together.
00:22:09Our families will be the most powerful to see.
00:22:12No, don't.
00:22:14No.
00:22:23Silas?
00:22:24No.
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's been leeching off of her
00:22:37for three years?
00:22:38Well, you know, now that you hit me,
00:22:40I'm here to finish.
00:22:41Come here.
00:22:45Silas, apologize to Tristan now.
00:22:50Silas, apologize to Tristan now.
00:22:53He fought himself on top of you.
00:22:54He won't really apologize.
00:22:56Apologize.
00:23:04I'm sorry.
00:23:08Good boy.
00:23:10You know, I'm going to slide this down.
00:23:13Just for Wayne's sake.
00:23:16Okay.
00:23:18Look, I'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.
00:23:24Okay, it's fine.
00:23:27Look, look, it's late.
00:23:28We should just go.
00:23:29We'll talk later, right?
00:23:31Can I talk to you later?
00:23:33Okay.
00:23:48Elaine, how did it go with Mr. Whitmore?
00:23:51Did you get the Hudson Yards project?
00:23:52Judging by that look?
00:23:55I'm guessing not.
00:23:58What?
00:24:00What?
00:24:01Wow.
00:24:03Isn't that fast?
00:24:04It feels like this usually takes weeks to negotiate.
00:24:08Well, Tristan talked to his uncle.
00:24:11He 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.
00:24:20Unlike some people who just mooch off others and never do anything useful, ever.
00:24:28You think Tristan got you Hudson Yards?
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?
00:24:58I 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, but since you think he got you the deal, you're gonna...
00:25:13Let's slide?
00:25:15You're overreacting.
00:25:16Tristan was drunk.
00:25:17He didn't mean it.
00:25:20And you have no idea how important this deal is for Sterling Group.
00:25:26Tristan was the only one who could help.
00:25:28Just try to understand, okay?
00:25:31You think Tristan Whitmore got you the deal?
00:25:34Tristan might be a Whitmore, but his uncle sure as hell did not give him a seven-figure contract
00:25:39because his nephew asked nicely.
00:25:42Okay.
00:25:44Well, 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.
00:25:57I'd never cross that line.
00:25:59Look, Eleni, you'd a girl off.
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 promised chief grandfather ends.
00:26:56Time 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.
00:27:24Watch 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.
00:27:33Dad, please.
00:27:35Silas was just upset.
00:27:38Don't defend 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.
00:27:51All right, Silas, listen.
00:27:54You crossed the line.
00:27:56What?
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.
00:28:51What did you just say?
00:28:53Marriage court is closed by now, but we'll go tomorrow morning.
00:28:56Get the papers sent.
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, I'm not forgiving him this time.
00:29:27Just forget that, loser.
00:29:29Well, if no one's cooking, looks like we're going out.
00:29:33Why don't you choose?
00:29:34I'm not hungry.
00:29:35You guys go ahead.
00:29:37Okay.
00:30:03Honey?
00:30:05What now?
00:30:07Look.
00:30:09Silas?
00:30:11Had to be.
00:30:12We were out.
00:30:14He was the only one here.
00:30:15I told you he was bluffing.
00:30:17If he really wanted a divorce, he wouldn't go around cleaning like some maid.
00:30:21Unless he wants us to look like the bad guys or something.
00:30:25If he apologizes to you tomorrow, maybe you should think about taking him back.
00:30:33I've been working on that Hudson Yards deal for a while now.
00:30:37Need some rest.
00:30:38Here.
00:30:39Want a massage?
00:30:41I knew it.
00:30:43Now he's trying to butter me up.
00:30:46Fine.
00:30:51Now that it's just the two of us, say you're sorry and we can pretend like this divorce B.S.
00:30:57never happened.
00:31:02Hey, I'm talking to you.
00:31:05You ready?
00:31:09Get some rest.
00:31:12Still bluffing?
00:31:14Well, let's see how you act at the courthouse tomorrow.
00:31:35Goodbye, Elaine.
00:31:36Good morning.
00:31:38But today our deal ends.
00:31:40From now on, the sterlings are on the road.
00:32:07How you doing, old friend?
00:32:09I've been protecting Elaine and the family for three years now.
00:32:12But after today, that deal ends.
00:32:15After this, they are...
00:32:18They're on their own.
00:32:29Silas was up before sunrise making all this.
00:32:32Does this look like a man that's getting ready for a divorce?
00:32:34Maybe we keep him around for a little while.
00:32:37I've gotten used to his cooking, after all.
00:32:44I've thought it over, Silas.
00:32:46I'll give you another chance.
00:32:48Sit down. Join us.
00:32:51I already ate.
00:32:52When you guys finish, we'll go to the courthouse and send divorce papers.
00:32:57What?
00:33:01Okay, that is enough.
00:33:02Silas, I am sick of this attitude of yours.
00:33:06I'll wait in the car.
00:33:11Unbelievable.
00:33:12Elaine gives him another chance and he just walks out.
00:33:15What does he think? He has options?
00:33:18Divorce him, sweetheart. He's asking for it.
00:33:20It just might work out.
00:33:22I mean, once you're divorced, maybe you and Tristan can get back together.
00:33:26Whatever his game is, I'm calling his bluff.
00:33:33Wait.
00:33:34Sign it first.
00:33:36And...
00:33:37Then we'll go in.
00:33:43You better not regret this.
00:33:56I thought he was bluffing.
00:33:58But he really went through with it.
00:34:00And didn't even ask for a single cent.
00:34:03Oh.
00:34:05And this car belongs to the Sterling, so, uh...
00:34:10That's real.
00:34:13Oh my god.
00:34:15I just realized...
00:34:17Three years, then Silas never really owned a single thing.
00:34:22Even his car wasn't really his.
00:34:25It was just there to drive me around.
00:34:28Alright.
00:34:29That's it then.
00:34:31Goodbye for good.
00:34:42So...
00:34:42What did I even mean to him?
00:34:44Why bother marrying me at all?
00:34:47What the hell?
00:34:49Goodbye for good?
00:34:50What is that?
00:34:51Some lame attempt to make me feel guilty?
00:34:53Sad?
00:34:55Well, screw you.
00:34:56Cause I am not falling for it.
00:34:59What the hell?
00:35:03Goodbye for good?
00:35:08He threw this away.
00:35:11Did I really not mean anything to him?
00:35:17Where's Silas?
00:35:19So it's...
00:35:21Is it official?
00:35:22You two are actually divorced?
00:35:24He didn't make a scene?
00:35:25And beg you to forgive him?
00:35:29No.
00:35:31It was quick.
00:35:32Too quick.
00:35:34That's wonderful, sweetheart.
00:35:36You're finally free.
00:35:37It's a new beginning.
00:35:38We should go celebrate you finally getting rid of that dead weight.
00:35:42I think I just need to focus on work more.
00:35:45I'm going to the office this afternoon.
00:35:47The Hudson Yards project is already underway.
00:35:50That's my girl.
00:35:52Strong as ever.
00:35:53The worst can't get you down.
00:35:59She doesn't look happy.
00:36:01Do you think it's because of Silas?
00:36:04Honestly, I think it's normal.
00:36:06You can get attached to anything after three years.
00:36:08Even a mangy mutt.
00:36:09It's just habit.
00:36:11Not love.
00:36:12True.
00:36:12Silas was useless.
00:36:15But he did take care of Elaine.
00:36:17I just think she's not used to being alone.
00:36:19She never really loved him anyway.
00:36:21Just give it a few days.
00:36:22Oh, Tristan came back to town.
00:36:25Once he hears that Elaine is divorced,
00:36:28I'm sure he'll come running.
00:36:30That'll cheer her up.
00:36:36If you'd like to stay up.
00:36:38Oh.
00:36:38Oh.
00:36:43Oh.
00:36:47Oh.
00:36:48Oh.
00:36:48Oh.

00:39:47it's all good just say whatever comes to mind Elaine
00:39:50yeah we know the past three years sucked for you so now that you finally got rid of that loser
00:39:56Silas you must have something to say
00:39:58uh
00:40:01these last three years have been
00:40:04rough
00:40:06you 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
00:40:16right?
00:40:18no
00:40:20we signed the papers ten hours ago and I'm not happy at all like not even a little
00:40:26seriously?

00:40:30regretting? of course not I mean the divorce is exactly what I wanted I just don't understand why I'm not
00:40:36happy
00:40:40maybe
00:40:40maybe Silas spoiled you
00:40:41I mean he was waiting on you hand and foot and for him to just suddenly be gone like that's
00:40:46probably fair
00:40:47yeah like I was obsessed with you I bet he's crying his eyes out now
00:40:52I'm not so sure about that
00:40:54because he vanished completely
00:40:57didn't leave a single trace behind
00:40:59well there's one way to find out

00:42:14Silas
00:42:14what are you doing?
00:42:16no
00:42:17there is no way that Silas would block Elaine
00:42:19he's probably playing some game with her to get her attention
00:42:23exactly
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?
00:42:36from your phone
00:42:37tell him he has 15 minutes to get here
00:42:40and if he does

00:43:09he just
00:43:09got rid of his number
00:43:11wait
00:43:11you guys don't think that he's so heartbroken over Elaine
00:43:14that he would be
00:43:16suicidal
00:43:19I mean think about it
00:43:21Elaine he was crazy about you
00:43:23you divorced him out of nowhere

00:43:27really I mean like

00:43:30but is he that pathetic?
00:43:32obsession makes people do crazy things

00:44:10I 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?

00:44:29we 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
00:44:51Silas he probably lives like in some cabin out in the woods somewhere
00:44:55I mean why should Elaine trek out into the wilderness?
00:44:59everyone knows it was a fake marriage anyway
00:45:02Elaine does he have any friends or family we could contact?

00:47:01I've got VIP tickets to the Rangers game.
00:47:04I have plans tonight, Bradley.
00:47:06Busy.
00:47:08Yeah, I've actually got plans too tonight.
00:47:12I forgot.
00:47:15You know, I'm the captain of the swim team.
00:47:18I could coach you.
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 Coach 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?
00:47:42You coach 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 ten 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.
00:48:08You 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.
00:48:15Okay.
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.
00:48:28Let's do it.
00:48:29Oh.
00:48:30Not so fast.
00:48:31If you lose, you can strip naked and bark like a dog.
00:48:35You still feel ready?
00:48:39Bradley's not just the captain.
00:48:41He'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, Coach Lancaster's our sub today.
00:48:51Show him some respect.
00:48:52This is between us, Fiona.
00:48:54Stay out of it.
00:48:55Coach Lancaster, you don't have to take the challenge.
00:48:58No, it's fine.
00:48:59Haven't swum in ages.
00:49:01I could use a stretch.
00:49:04Let's get to it.
00:49:06Oh, no.
00:49:08He's asking for trouble.
00:49:10Did the divorce really hit him that hard?
00:49:12Bradley, come on.
00:49:13Let's go, Bradley.
00:49:14Lock in.
00:49:14Lock in.
00:49:15Lock in.
00:49:15Come on.
00:49:17All right, tough guy.
00:49:18You've got stones.
00:49:20I'll give you that.
00:49:21100-meter freestyle.
00:49:23Right here?
00:49:24Right now.
00:49:27Right now.
00:49:29Wow.
00:49:30Those abs.
00:49:32Okay.
00:49:34Definitely didn't see those coming.
00:49:35Hey, old man.
00:49:36Haven't worked out 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.
00:49:50We got this.
00:49:51Come on.
00:49:52The last time I swam across the Pacific was, what?
00:49:56500 years ago?
00:49:57Kind of missed that.
00:50:19Why is it freezing all of a sudden?
00:50:29There's a shark.
00:50:31There's a fucking shark.
00:50:34A shark?
00:50:36Oh, my God.
00:50:43Coach Lancaster touches first.
00:50:45Bradley bailed halfway.
00:50:46The race goes to the coach.
00:50:47Woo!
00:50:48Let's go, go!
00:50:49Go, go!
00:50:54I saw a fucking shark.
00:50:58Shark.
00:50:59Shark.
00:51:00Shark.
00:51:02I guess we're going to 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.
00:51:15Too much damn stress.
00:51:16I'm 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...
00:51:28I'm off my game.
00:51:29You...
00:51:29You win.
00:51:34Bradley's been acting like he owns the whole damn pool because his dad's on the board and
00:51:38he's swim captain.
00:51:39It's always creeping on girls.
00:51:41I'm glad someone finally knocked him down a notch.
00:51:56Girl.
00:51:59Girl.
00:52:00Admit it, you have a thing for Coach Lancaster.
00:52:04No, you do.
00:52:05That's not true.
00:52:06I do not.
00:52:08It's not true.
00:52:11I swear.
00:52:13Don't look at me like that.
00:52:20All right, guys.
00:52:22Good practice today.
00:52:23Have a good one and...
00:52:28Uh...
00:52:31Coach Lancaster.
00:52:32You really don't remember me?
00:52:35Should I?
00:52:37I mean, we've met a few times.
00:52:39I'm Fiona Ashford.
00:52:41Elaine's best friend.
00:52:43Yeah.
00:52:44Yeah, that's right.
00:52:46Um...
00:52:47Did you...
00:52:47Did you need something?
00:52:49No.
00:52:51Great.
00:52:52Have a good day.
00:52:56How can someone be so clueless about women?
00:52:58It's driving me nuts.
00:53:01It's driving me nuts.
00:53:03Ow.
00:53:07Hey, Jonah.
00:53:08You okay?
00:53:10My stomach, it...
00:53:11It hurts.
00:53:14Hurts right here.
00:53:15Your abs feel hard and tight.
00:53:18How do you know?
00:53:19It's an abdominal muscle spasm.
00:53:21It happens when you don't warm up properly before swimming.
00:53:23Great.
00:53:25Student health center's probably closed by now.
00:53:27Don't worry.
00:53:28I can...
00:53:29I can call an ambulance.
00:53:30No way.
00:53:30I'll pass out before it ever gets here.
00:53:34Well, I know something that might help, but...
00:53:37You gotta trust me.
00:53:38You can take this pain away?
00:53:40What are you...
00:53:41You know sports medicine or something?
00:53:44Not exactly.
00:53:45It's just a treat I picked up from an old dealer.
00:53:50Or I can do all the ambulance.
00:53:52No.
00:53:52Okay.
00:53:53Please just...
00:53:54Just help me.
00:53:55Okay.
00:53:59Here.
00:53:59Light out.
00:54:03And lift your shirt up.
00:54:06I need to see your stomach.
00:54:08It's okay, Fiona.
00:54:09You can trust me.
00:54:14I'm sorry.
00:54:16It might hurt a little bit, but just try to relax and keep your ass closed.
00:54:21All right?
00:54:42You should be all good to go.
00:54:45Oh, my God.
00:54:47My pain is totally gone.
00:54:48How 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, uh...
00:55:17Anyways.
00:55:19Just, uh, warm up properly.
00:55:21Some dry clothes only if you're swimming, and, uh, it should be good.
00:55:25I'll be more diligent.
00:55:27I promise.
00:55:28Well, I, uh...
00:55:30Because I should be going, then.
00:55:32Wait.
00:55:33Are you going to 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.
00:56:24Silas, did you really disappear from my life for good?
00:56:29I don't know.
00:56:32Elaine?
00:56:34Where have you been?
00:56:35We've all been trying to reach you for days.
00:56:37Just work's been crazy.
00:56:39See, you know that you can talk to me, right?
00:56:42So 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 we 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.
00:57:12But 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?
00:57:36I mean, 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'd rather think he's a good man.
00:57:58A good man doesn't freeload off of my family for three years.
00:58:02He sure as hell doesn't marry a woman who's already in love with someone else.
00:58:05Wasn't Silas a victim too?
00:58:08I 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.
00:58:24I 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.
00:58:40We're already divorced.
00:58:41You were married to Silas for three years.
00:58:44But 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.
00:58:52Talk 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?
00:59:16You look kind of tense.
00:59:18It's nothing.
00:59:19It's just a slight headache.
00:59:21Come on.
00:59:22I'll take you home.
00:59:25Black Ivory Coffee.
00:59:27Your 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, and I have been dying to
00:59:43help out with the family business.
00:59:45I was thinking I could take point on the Hudson Yards.
00:59:47That 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.
01:00:59Practice.
01:01:00Go home.
01:01:08I'm going to get the butterfly stroke.
01:01:11It's Coach Lancaster, and we're on camp.
01:01:15I'm Coach Lancaster.
01:01:17Could 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.
01:01:32Great.
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 you stay in contact with.
01:02:01We're divorced now.
01:02:02Why keep it?
01:02:03So you just disappear?
01:02:05Did you walk 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 him as he thinks.
01:02:18Talk things through.
01:02:19We both deserve that much.
01:02:23You're right.
01:02:25I was the one who brought up the divorce.
01:02:28But I wasn't serious.
01:02:30Look, I just want to talk to you.
01:02:33Can you please give me a chance?
01:02:46You used 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.
01:03:12Show 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.
01:03:32But 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.
01:03:44I admit.
01:03:45That's why I'm here.
01:03:47To ask you to come back home.
01:03:50Want 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 and clean for you and
01:04:19be a servant to your family.
01:04:20That's not a good life.
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 going to go.
01:04:39Hey.
01:04:41I came here.
01:04:43Out 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?
01:05:07Who 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, and I never said a word.
01:05:27But peering you like this?
01:05:29Charles Sterling made this company 50 years ago, and you're going to 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.
01:05:43By all means, Creighton.
01:05:45Powerful Silas.
01:05:46Show me the error of my ways.
01:05:48Hey, guys.
01:05:50Why are we fighting?
01:05:52I thought you said that you were going to 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.
01:06:25But Silas is my friend, too.
01:06:28Since when?
01:06:32Wait, are you falling for him?
01:06:34No, no.
01:06:35It's not like that at all.
01:06:36I just...
01:06:36Silas is a good person.
01:06:38And 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.
01:06:50Elaine, wait!
01:06:53I'm sorry.
01:06:55Elaine'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.
01:07:22He 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.
01:07:41What?
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.
01:07:50So, 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.
01:08:13Run 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.
01:08:28It'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?
01:08:35No, Tristan, please.
01:08:37Don't take this personally.
01:08:39She's been on edge since the divorce.
01:08:41She 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?
01:08:59Elaine, don't be rude.
01:09:00This is me being polite.
01:09:02I have no interest in rehashing the past, so stop coming around to see me.
01:09:09Unbelievable.
01:09:10I mean, I get you the Hudson Yard Project, and what?
01:09:13This is how you pay me back right now?
01:09:14Really?
01:09:15Nice try, Tristan.
01:09:16My people looked into Hudson Yards, and 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.
01:09:29Mr. 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 going to 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?
01:10:03What did I do?
01:10:05Silas, you wasted your chance.
01:10:08Silas, don'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.
01:10:35Here's what these days.
01:10:36Got no respect.
01:10:37Don't call me kid.
01:10:39You asshole!
01:10:39I mean, if you hadn't messed up my dinner at the Japanese restaurant, I would be fucking Elaine by now.
01:10:52Fucking hit me.
01:10:54Break his legs!
01:10:56Okay, Mr. Whip-Hawk.
01:10:57Be careful there, Chugs.
01:10:59Whatever 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!
01:11:10Oh, man.
01:11:20Wow.
01:11:21That'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 going to keep talking, and you can actually do something.
01:11:32You listen to me.
01:11:34The Whitmores, we're meeting with a very important VIP tonight.
01:11:37I might get on your knees and beg for my forgiveness, and 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 a 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.
