00:14Hey, careful.
00:16Oh my god, you just saved me a thousand euros.
00:19Then you must owe me lunch.
00:21Do all locals who flirt after new collisions?
00:24You were in my way, not my fault.
00:26Looking for something in particular?
00:28I just got here.
00:30I'm a photographer.
00:31I'm looking for hidden gems to shoot.
00:33And maybe a place to breathe.
00:35I love the sunlight here.
00:37I'm from here.
00:37Could show you a few spots.
00:39No offense, but that's how tourists disappear.
00:43Oldest bakery on the islands around the corner.
00:45You're more than welcome to follow.
00:46Or not.
00:56You know, my friend is Rebecca.
00:58I don't like it.
00:59I don't like it.
01:00I don't like it.
01:02I don't like it.
01:02I don't like it.
01:02I don't like it.
01:03Playing with the turrets.
01:04Yeah, I'll be keeping an eye on the follow.
01:12Okay, that was unreal.
01:14Told you.
01:14No tourist ever finds this place online.
01:18You're a real local.
01:20Suspicious?
01:22Curious.
01:23You coming or just making comments?
01:25I'd just like to know who I'm following.
01:27A new friend.
01:28Are you always this cryptic or just with tourists?
01:31Depends who's asking.
01:40All right.
01:41I'm impressed.
01:44You capture things most people miss.
01:47Flattery won't get you far.
01:50Or maybe it will.
01:52Who knows what the future holds.
01:59What was that?
02:01Something that felt right.
02:04Who are you?
02:06Does it matter?
02:10What was that?
02:13Probably just a tourist.
02:14Happens all the time.
02:20I get why people fall in love with this place.
02:23It's not just pretty.
02:24It feels rushed.
02:26No pressures.
02:28Do you like the sea?
02:30Salty?
02:31No.
02:32Calm.
02:33On the surface.
02:34But I can see there's something wild under me.
02:39You will marry Eleanor.
02:43She fits the life you were born with.
02:45I didn't choose this.
02:47You forced it on me.
02:49You don't have to be ready.
02:53Where did your mind go just now?
02:55I'm not as free as I look.
02:57Some people have expectations for me.
03:00Family?
03:05Yes?
03:05People are watching it because of the next place.
03:09End this quietly, please, and return to Athens.
03:12I need you here immediately.
03:21Your secret spot?
03:23Only for people I like.
03:31You joining?
03:33Wait, seriously?
03:37You're actually insane.
03:44You joining or just watching?
03:49Enjoying the view!
04:00Didn't want you thinking I stared intentionally.
04:03Maybe I hoped you were.
04:06I was just a little confused.
04:07That kiss yesterday.
04:09Just a thanks for the moment.
04:11Felt perfect.
04:12Like now.
04:24How's this shirt?
04:26European royalty?
04:27Are all Americans this nosy?
04:30That felt like a while.
04:33We should head back.
04:34We'll get cold soon.
04:40Look who finally remembered me.
04:43Sorry I've been MIA.
04:44It's great here.
04:46And I haven't been scammed yet.
04:47Proud of you.
04:49Also, I met someone.
04:51Of course you did.
04:53We literally bumped into each other.
04:55He caught my camera when I dropped it
04:57and then offered to show me around.
05:00And for once, I said yes.
05:02Oh no.
05:03I know. I know.
05:05Who is he? Maybe someone knows him.
05:07I actually don't even know his last name.
05:10Or much of anything really.
05:15Hi Alex.
05:17You've been hard to find.
05:19It's not now, Marco.
05:20Your father's concerned.
05:22There's been talk about that girl.
05:24Let them talk.
05:25You know how this looks.
05:26Discretion used to matter to you.
05:29Say what you came to say.
05:30This sabbatical.
05:31Is it about Elena?
05:33What do you think?
05:34I think it is.
05:38From her.
05:47That might have been the best night I've had in a while.
05:52Same here.
05:54Thank you for staying.
05:58Are you hungry?
05:59I'm starving.
06:01You know that's my favorite t-shirt, right?
06:04But now, it's mine.
06:09Do you always keep a spare toothbrush in your guest drawer?
06:11Maybe I like to be prepared.
06:13For tourists.
06:15For possibilities.
06:16You ever say something real or just things that sound good?
06:21Lunch?
06:22Let's.
06:27You will love this one.
06:35Bordeaux, 2015.
06:37Correct.
06:38May I?
06:43Okay, Shirt Crest.
06:45And now this?
06:46Who are you?
06:47James Bond?
06:48The Greek can't have taste.
06:50Alex?
06:52Elena.
06:53What are you doing here?
06:54Your parents insist that I find you.
06:56They're worried.
06:57There's too much at stake to ignore this.
07:04What do you want to leave here?
07:06Relax.
07:07I'm not here to start a scene.
07:08Then came what you came to say and go.
07:10Alex.
07:11We were always more than just feelings.
07:13There's still a future.
07:15If you want it.
07:17I don't.
07:18You act like you've escaped.
07:19But you're just on pause.
07:21I don't know about you, but I want a life I chose.
07:24Refusing the past doesn't erase it.
07:26It just means someone else decides for you.
07:34You need to come back to Athens.
07:37The board is moving without you.
07:39I'd end this thing with a tourist.
07:41People have seen you.
07:42It's getting embarrassing.
07:56He was speaking to his ex.
07:59Lynn's father called.
08:00I answered his phone.
08:02Kate, I love you, but you always do this.
08:05You rush in hot first.
08:07Remember Andrew?
08:08This isn't Andrew.
08:09Maybe, but you need to stop guessing.
08:12Ask him.
08:13Really ask him.
08:25Anything you want to tell me?
08:26Or should I just wait for the next call?
08:29Look, Kate.
08:30My father oversteps.
08:31He always has.
08:32This isn't about him.
08:34It's about her.
08:34Elena.
08:36We were together since we were kids.
08:38The family's approved, but I moved on.
08:41She just never did.
08:43You weren't engaged?
08:46I never loved her, Kate.
08:48I should have told you.
09:00Just don't ask me anything else today, okay?
09:03Okay.
09:09Girls like you are summer storms.
09:12But storms pass.
09:13You're nothing special.
09:29Kate.
09:29Is that what they think I am?
09:31A passing storm?
09:32She's just trying to scare you.
09:33She's not wrong.
09:35This, us, it's not built to last.
09:37Then let's change that.
09:38I don't want to be a rebellion, Alec.
09:40You're not.
09:40You're the first thing I've ever chosen for myself.
09:43Then tell her.
09:44Tell her it's over.
09:45It's over.
09:46Has been for a long time.
09:48Good.
10:00She's not going away, is she?
10:02I think he's serious about her.
10:04Well, if she won't leave on her own, we'll help her find the door.
10:26You texted her.
10:27I just suggested she leave early.
10:29For her own good.
10:30You don't get to decide that.
10:31I warned her.
10:33Girls like her never left.
10:35You should thank me for speeding it up.
10:37What do you want, Elena?
10:38I want what I've always had.
10:40Your love.
10:49Get in, Alexandros.
10:51You will lose everything over this.
10:54Your name.
10:55Your position.
10:56And don't be fooled.
10:58Elena will not go easily.
11:00You've controlled me ever since I could walk.
11:02Not anymore.
11:03You always say that.
11:05But look where you are.
11:12Alex?
11:17You've been quiet since breakfast.
11:19Did my ex offend you?
11:20No.
11:21I just needed a walk.
11:23Is this your version of opening up?
11:25I want to.
11:27But there are some parts of me that are still tied to a life I never chose.
11:31Oh, let me help.
11:33Do you want to stay with me tonight?
11:35If you wanted to.
11:38I'm not good at this.
11:39The normal, everyday part.
11:41Try me.
11:43Some nights I wish I could burn it all down.
11:46The name, the expectations.
11:48What stops you?
11:50People like my mother.
11:51People who smile while pulling the strings.
11:54And cutting loose.
12:02You better move fast, Alex.
12:04She's already pulling strings.
12:16Everything okay?
12:18You tell me.
12:19Where'd you find this?
12:21It was by the door.
12:22No name.
12:23Just waiting.
12:24She's always known how to send a message.
12:26You said you wanted to burn it all down.
12:28Then do it.
12:29Or mean it.
12:30Look, Kate.
12:31I don't care about their money.
12:33Or their legacy.
12:34None of that really matters to me.
12:36But you really do.
12:36I'm falling for you, Kate.
12:39Fast.
12:39And maybe even recklessly.
12:41But it's all very real.
12:42Then stop holding back.
13:01She's pretty.
13:04Interesting.
13:05Maybe someone from her past could be useful.
13:15At least five of the night?
13:17Kind of.
13:19The coffee always helps.
13:22So.
13:24This version of you.
13:25Coffee.
13:26Half naked.
13:28Charming.
13:29Is that sticking around?
13:30I don't know.
13:31What if it is?
13:32I meant what I said last night.
13:33I told Lena to meet her at the cafe by the marina.
13:36She'll think you kidnapped me.
13:37I want to be the worst rumor.
13:43Helena Vassiliou, Georgiopoulos' family's former fiancee,
13:46is rumored to be determined to secure a place in their financial future
13:50despite their recent broken engagement.
14:01This wasn't some ex.
14:02This was the plan.
14:05Let's see what else you forgot to mention.
14:13I found this while I was waiting for you.
14:15I was just flipping through and...
14:19Bam.
14:21That's Elena.
14:22And that's Alex's mother.
14:24Sophia Georgiopoulos.
14:25You know her?
14:26Everyone does.
14:28The Georgiopoulos family is Greece's biggest shipping dynasty.
14:31They run the country pretty much.
14:32That's who I just had breakfast with?
14:34You've been sleeping next to the air.
14:36And no one warned me?
14:37You didn't ask for his name, Case.
14:39Now you know why he didn't offer it.
14:41This whole time.
14:42He never gave me the full story.
14:48So that's the girl.
14:52Let's see what she's made of.
14:59That's where I learned how to play guitar.
15:00Let me guess.
15:02Your family hated it after ten minutes?
15:05Five.
15:06I was relentless.
15:07And now?
15:08Now I only play for carefully selected audiences.
15:13My compliment doesn't buy me a private concert.
15:22Something wrong?
15:23No, no.
15:24Just...
15:24Just have it.
15:27It's unreal.
15:29Like the whole world slows down just enough to breathe.
15:33That's why people never leave.
15:34Is that why you're still here?
15:36Something like that.
15:44You know him?
15:45No.
15:46Let's go the other way.
15:47Why?
15:47You said it go.
15:48You've been dodging this since the first day.
15:50What is it I'm not supposed to see?
15:53What aren't you telling me?
15:57That's them, isn't it?
15:59Yeah.
16:11You've been hiding something since the day we met.
16:14I'm done guessing.
16:15Who were they?
16:15My parents.
16:16And Elena?
16:17She was sent by them.
16:19My father runs Georgopolis shipping.
16:22I was supposed to take over.
16:23Elena was part of the plan.
16:25So she's not just your ex.
16:27She's your legacy.
16:28She's my past.
16:29And what am I?
16:30Everything with you is real.
16:31Except your name, your past, and that your family could crush me without even blinking.
16:35I was just trying to protect you.
16:37Too late.
16:40You should have told me from the beginning.
16:51Can I come in?
16:53I didn't want you to find out like that.
16:55You had a hundred chances to tell me, but you didn't.
16:58I didn't lie to protect myself.
16:59I lied to protect this.
17:01And now?
17:01Now I want to try for real.
17:03Have lunch with me.
17:04With her.
17:06Your mother?
17:07Yes.
17:08We can call it character building.
17:17The weather's been kind this week.
17:19Mykonos is really stunning.
17:22So, Kate, what brought you here?
17:24I'm a photographer.
17:25I freelance.
17:26I see.
17:28Alex has always liked foreign things.
17:30Hey.
17:31I meant art and languages.
17:35He's an excellent translator.
17:36And surprisingly, a great cook.
17:38Cooking is a skill for people with time.
17:41You're not going to be warm.
17:43At least be respectful.
17:44Respect is earned.
17:46And timing is everything.
17:48You will learn that eventually.
17:52And now, excuse me.
18:03I know that look.
18:05Were you expecting me to be happy?
18:07I'm sorry.
18:08She's a particular taste.
18:10She looked at me like I was a waiter.
18:11I know.
18:12I know.
18:12I'm sorry.
18:13But at least we had a great dessert after all that.
18:19Stay again tonight?
18:20If you stop apologizing.
18:24Probably just the neighbor again.
18:31Good evening.
18:32Apologies for the drop-in, but business doesn't wait.
18:35Elena.
18:36Kate.
18:37Still here, I see.
18:38Why are you here?
18:39Just finalizing a few things.
18:43Some of us still take matters seriously.
18:46Good luck.
18:48You'll need it.
18:55Oh.
18:56These are shared transfer papers.
18:59She owns a piece of your family's company?
19:02She just declared war.
19:06This is real.
19:08She tied herself back in.
19:09She's a power junkie.
19:11Losing me through her off balance.
19:12She's not done.
19:14No.
19:14But neither are we.
19:15You're the reason I want out.
19:17She doesn't get to write the ending.
19:21Didn't mean to wake you.
19:24What time is it?
19:25Early.
19:26I have to take care of something.
19:29Just a few days.
19:30You're really leaving?
19:31I have to.
19:33But I'll be back.
19:35Okay.
19:36Just come back home, please.
19:42Don't forget how this feels, okay?
19:53Looks like I'm not waiting after all.
20:02You came.
20:03I knew you would.
20:04Don't flatter yourself.
20:06It came for answers.
20:07You came.
20:08That's what matters.
20:09Skip the performance.
20:10What do you want?
20:11What I've always wanted.
20:13For you to grow up and take what's yours.
20:15Be part of the family.
20:17What family?
20:18The kind that sends assistance instead of invitations?
20:21You weren't exactly answering our calls.
20:24Now, you want to act like a man?
20:27Here's your crown.
20:28What is it?
20:31An official succession plan.
20:34We all signed it this morning.
20:36Well, you forged my name to trap me.
20:38And you just gave me a way out.
20:42We've done this before, Alexandros.
20:45Don't act like it's something sacred.
20:47And Elena?
20:49She's still part of the plan?
20:52Her name brings confidence.
20:55Investors see stability.
20:57I'm not building a life with someone I've already left in the past.
21:00Because this tie, if you cut it, will cost the whole family.
21:08Then you've built the wrong family.
21:19He's inside.
21:21I thought you'd want to hear it all from him.
21:30He said you asked for me?
21:32Of course he did.
21:33You said you came to walk away.
21:35But this place will always own you.
21:38You know, it's my turn.
21:41Let's see what it would take for you to walk away.
21:50This is for you.
21:56What exactly am I being paid for?
21:58To forget us all and to forget Greece.
22:01You can't buy me off like you did with Elena.
22:03Your son is in your property and neither am I.
22:05He was supposed to lead our company, not run off with a tourist.
22:09What's going on?
22:10Your mother just tried to send me back to America.
22:16If she truly cared, she would leave on her own.
22:19Enough.
22:20This ends here.
22:22If she stays or if she goes, that's her choice.
22:25Not yours.
22:31So, that went well.
22:34I'm sorry.
22:35She'll stop.
22:40She won't.
22:42But I'm not leaving.
22:56Enjoy your fairy tale, Kate.
23:08What now?
23:11This was just dropped off at the estate.
23:15Just your father and the board.
23:26She's twisting everything.
23:27Making it seem like I'm not in my right mind.
23:29It's already been forwarded to legal.
23:31She's playing hardball now.
23:32And what?
23:33You're just the messenger.
23:34You asked for honesty.
23:35I'm just delivering it.
23:37She lies, slanders, and yet she still ends up protected.
23:40She's not protected.
23:41She's strategic.
23:43How unhinged is she?
23:50The timing makes this impossible.
23:52She's bluffing and desperate.
23:57I passed Mark on the hallway.
23:59What happened?
24:00A letter she sent to my father and the board.
24:03And she slipped this in.
24:06Like it proves anything.
24:07Wait, she's pregnant?
24:09That's what she wants people to think, but I know it's not mine.
24:12The math doesn't add up.
24:13And she sends that instead of saying a word?
24:16That's the point.
24:16She doesn't want to talk.
24:18She wanted leverage.
24:19Then what now?
24:20Just give me time.
24:21I'll prove it, and then I'm done.
24:30It's quiet out here.
24:32Like the rest of the world just doesn't exist.
24:35That's why I brought you here.
24:38When this is over, I'm done for good.
24:41No more strings, no more secrets.
24:44And when this ends, if you still want me, I'm yours.
25:03She really did it.
25:05You always said you wanted a family.
25:08Well, here we are.
25:10And what exactly were you going to tell me?
25:13I just did.
25:14You had two months.
25:15Why now?
25:16Timing is everything.
25:17You know it.
25:19Every part of this is calculated.
25:20You're using a child as a pawn.
25:22I'm not.
25:23You think my timing changes what it is?
25:25Yes, it does.
25:26You walk away from me now.
25:28You are not walking away clean.
25:30I don't know who you are anymore.
25:32I'm the mother of your child.
25:35Then you better be, for their sake.
25:51This is never about the baby.
25:52It's always about the name.
26:02I didn't follow you to fix things.
26:04I just need you to know I'm not choosing her.
26:06I know you're not.
26:08But you're still caught between worlds, Alex.
26:10You didn't build the trap, but you're still sitting in it.
26:13And I'm trying to tear it down every day.
26:14Then do it.
26:16But stop acting like I'm the reason you might or might not.
26:18I'm just afraid if I don't act fast enough, she'll trap me in it.
26:22And if she already has?
26:30You didn't think she was going to go public?
26:32No, not like this.
26:33Then figure it out.
26:35But please do it first.
26:40Her past.
26:41Dig into it.
26:42Find someone who's still got a hold on her.
26:47Let's see how committed she is.
26:53Wait, what?
26:55I just got an email from a gallery in Paris.
26:58They want to feature me.
26:59That's amazing.
27:01Had you applied?
27:02No.
27:03Apparently someone saw my making those photos online.
27:07Galerie Leclerc.
27:09Okay, they're legit, but scroll to the bottom.
27:13Look at the sponsor list.
27:19Georgiopoulos Cultural Foundation.
27:21Could be a coincidence or not.
27:26Might be worth a call.
27:27Ask how they found you.
27:29God, I'm so tired of all this.
27:43Did you really think I wasn't going to find out?
27:46You're welcome.
27:47This isn't help.
27:48It's manipulation.
27:49I gave her something she was already looking for.
27:52You just can't stand not pulling the strings.
27:54I gave her something you couldn't.
27:56She doesn't need your bribe.
27:57You're not afraid of losing her.
27:59You're afraid she never needed you in the first place.
28:01If she walks now, it's because of you.
28:03And I won't forget that.
28:13Hey, what's up?
28:15Hey, didn't expect to see you here.
28:18Wanted to catch up.
28:19Yeah, been thinking the same.
28:22Things have been off lately.
28:24Tell me about it.
28:26If I were to ask you something straight, would you be honest?
28:29Depends on what the questions are.
28:31You've always been loyal to my father, but you're not blind.
28:34So tell me something I don't know.
28:36Because something about this whole Lena thing doesn't add up.
28:40Alex, I can't really talk about it right now.
28:48Not while she's here.
28:50She's here?
28:52Then can you meet me tomorrow?
28:54Somewhere she doesn't know.
28:56You pick the place.
28:58Okay.
29:10If he finds out, he won't be the only one who goes down.
29:20Where are you, Marco?
29:30Coward little man.
29:31You were never loyal.
29:33Just scared.
29:40Well, well.
29:42Andrew?
29:43Still ignoring my text, huh?
29:45What are you doing here?
29:46I told you I'd cross an ocean for you.
29:49No more mixed signals.
29:50I'm here for us.
29:51Are you stalking me?
29:53People who care make it their business to know.
29:58Who the hell is he?
30:02And why is he touching her?
30:06He was about to kiss you yesterday.
30:08What kiss are you talking about?
30:10I didn't even know he was here.
30:11You have to believe that I was pushing him away.
30:13But he is here, Kate.
30:15And he knew exactly where to find you.
30:16That doesn't just happen.
30:17You think I planned this?
30:18I don't know what to think anymore.
30:32What is this?
30:34Where did you get that?
30:36It came with your flowers.
30:37Alex, I didn't send it, I swear.
30:39I don't even remember that photo.
30:40Well, someone does.
30:42Maybe this is all a mistake from the beginning.
30:52One crack.
30:53That's all it takes.
31:06Is your name in there too?
31:09I should have seen it coming.
31:10They want me gone.
31:11Then don't leave.
31:13Let them choke in their own mess.
31:21Sit.
31:23Let's keep it civil, shall we?
31:25The doctors told me I have to take it easy.
31:28Stress at my age isn't exactly harmless.
31:31Then stop fueling it.
31:33You and Mom both.
31:34The board wants clarity.
31:37They think I've lost control.
31:40So I'm considering naming a successor.
31:43You're asking me to choose between the life I want and the life you've chosen.
31:47That's not clarity.
31:48That's blackmail.
31:49I'm asking you to think.
31:52Because once this is done, there's no undoing it.
31:56And don't forget, Elena has been loyal to us.
32:00Why would you say that?
32:02Because you're not the only candidate.
32:06Especially when she's carrying the next generation of our family.
32:16You haven't looked at me since we got back to Athens.
32:19I'm trying to fix this and clear our names.
32:22Maybe the easiest fix is still for me to go.
32:24Kate, please don't say that.
32:25The only reason any of this is happening is because of Elena.
32:28Then stop letting her win.
32:29Do you really think I believe she's pregnant?
32:31What if it's staged?
32:33Or someone else's baby?
32:34Maybe.
32:34But she's still using every second to twist the truth.
32:40You need to see this.
32:41Now.
32:41What is it?
32:42I passed the florist in black and someone dropped this.
32:44I grabbed it before they could.
32:51Your mom sent it.
32:52She wanted you to think I lied.
32:54Tell me again this wasn't planned.
32:57Elena's the reason my mother's acting like this.
33:00She wants you gone.
33:01She's using everyone to do it.
33:03Then let's make sure she's the one who disappears.
33:07They tried to break us.
33:09And if I hadn't opened that envelope, maybe they would have.
33:12Whatever Elena started, all ended.
33:15We leave tomorrow.
33:16Let's go back to Mykonos.
33:17Just us.
33:21Just us.
33:22We leave tomorrow.
33:34We leave tomorrow.
33:41We leave tomorrow.
33:55Your family tried to buy me off.
33:58Dig into my past like I'm some threat to your future.
34:01They're afraid of you, because you don't want anything from them.
34:04That makes you dangerous.
34:06And I'm done protecting their fears.
34:08Maybe it's time we hit back with our own story.
34:10On our terms.
34:12You really think we can win against them?
34:14Only if we stop playing nice.
34:26Are you coming to the house?
34:28You should have called first.
34:29I figured surprises were your thing.
34:32This isn't how civilized people handle conflict.
34:36Neither is hiring investigators or sending bribes in envelopes, but here we are.
34:40If you think you're intimidating me...
34:42I'm not here to scare you, just to warn you.
34:45A threat.
34:46A fact.
34:47You tried to ruin my relationship, you failed.
34:50Keep pushing, and the next thing you'll lose won't be a schemer, it will be your son.
34:54You're very bold, Miss Miller.
34:56That's the polite way to say you underestimated me.
35:02No records, no scandal, just some love letters.
35:14I won't need your services anymore.
35:23Oh well.
35:25Sooner or later, Eleanor will sort something out.
35:35I assumed I would see you eventually.
35:38Because of theatrics.
35:39Why'd you send the flowers?
35:40I didn't send flowers.
35:42I sent a warning.
35:43You used Kate's pass as a weapon.
35:45You really want her gone that badly?
35:47Can't you just see how incompatible she is in our world?
35:51And what about Elena?
35:52You really think she belongs?
35:54What if her baby isn't mine?
35:56Then don't say it out loud, unless you are really sure.
36:03Paternity test?
36:05You really think she'd fake something like this?
36:08Yes, I do.
36:09Be careful, Alex.
36:10Accusing her means accusing the whole family of trusting her.
36:19Do it quietly.
36:20And don't bring shame on the family, unless you're sure she elected to.
36:29She picked the battlefield.
36:31Now I have to fight on her terms.
36:34Now we see how far she's really willing to go.
36:45Hey, we need to talk.
36:48I need the truth.
36:50Hey, Alex.
36:51You're putting me in an impossible situation.
36:53No, Elena has.
36:54Look, Alex, after you left, she was a wreck.
36:58She started calling.
37:00Dropping by.
37:00And one night she kissed me.
37:04And I didn't stop it.
37:05I thought it would blow over, but it didn't.
37:07And when she said she was pregnant, did you do the math?
37:10Look, I don't know if I'm the father.
37:12I know there may be a chance.
37:15But I know I should have told you sooner.
37:17At least you didn't lie to my face.
37:27He's treating me like a liar.
37:29He wants a paternity test.
37:33You'll let him humiliate me like that?
37:35After everything I've done for this family?
37:37You need to rest, Elena.
37:40The stress isn't good for you.
37:49I guess that test just became pointless.
37:54There's no coming back from this.
37:56Even for her.
38:00We've reviewed everything.
38:02Your messages, the clinical records you never disclosed.
38:05You went through my private medical files.
38:07You dragged our name into the press.
38:10And just to protect your position, not the family.
38:13Marco has been fired.
38:15You're leaving the company effective immediately.
38:18You can't be serious.
38:20We're done being embarrassed.
38:21Please leave.
38:28I'm glad she chose to leave the country in the end.
38:31Maybe she was never meant for this.
38:35Then who is?
38:40Leo?
38:42Leo?
38:44Someone help!
38:45Leo!
38:52He is stable for now.
38:54But we need to keep him under observation.
39:01You care about him?
39:02Of course I do.
39:03Then understand this.
39:05We've all made choices we later may be regretted.
39:09But no one in this family has acted with malice.
39:12And yet it costs you almost everything.
39:15Then be better than we are.
39:17That's the plan.
39:34They always said succession would be clear.
39:37But he didn't say if Alex wants it.
39:39It doesn't matter what he wants anymore.
39:42The company needs a future and this can't fall into the wrong hands.
39:47It has to be Alex.
39:49There is no one else.
39:59Mom, you said something in that meeting about the company.
40:02I said what your father should have said years ago.
40:05Do you really think it's the right time?
40:06No one is ever ready.
40:08But you've done what most people wouldn't dare.
40:11You stood up for your life.
40:13I didn't do any of it alone.
40:14I know.
40:15You made him stronger.
40:16So, thank you for staying.
40:18We made each other stronger.
40:20And you didn't just stay.
40:21You fought.
40:22He's worth it.
40:23I spent my life guarding our family status.
40:26But you two are building something real.
40:29Then help us protect it.
40:31He's awake.
40:33And he asks for you.
40:43I can't run the company anymore, Alex.
40:47It's your turn to lead.
40:49I never wanted the crown.
40:51Nobody ever does.
40:53Not if they're decent.
40:55Or smart like you.
40:57I respect what you built.
40:58I'll protect it.
40:59But only on my terms.
41:01I love Kate.
41:02She's part of my future.
41:04And I see that now.
41:06If I do this, it won't be to preserve the past.
41:09It'll be to build something better.
41:11Then build it.
41:13But don't lose yourself in the process.
41:17Your life belongs to you now, Alex.
41:28So, what did you decide?
41:30I said yes.
41:33But I told him this time, I'm not choosing between love and family.
41:37Just make sure they know that.
41:39And make sure they mean it.
41:48Your father's agenda from the last six months.
41:52I'll take it from here.
41:58Kate, I'm sorry.
42:00Give me an hour and I'll call you back, okay?
42:03It's okay.
42:04I understand.
42:05I meant it when I said I wouldn't let them get between us.
42:08And...
42:08I think this is company.
42:10I'm not asking you to choose.
42:11I'm asking you to show up.
42:18What exactly am I being paid for?
42:20To forget us all and to forget Greece.
42:24Maybe I was just the exception until the rules start applying again.
42:32Six months in Paris.
42:34It's the life I wanted before any of this.
42:38Funny how the thing I wanted the most still wants me back.
42:43This time, I need to choose myself.
43:03You know we could have stayed in Athens longer.
43:05It didn't feel right.
43:07I wanted us to say goodbye to this place, too.
43:09You got the offer.
43:10Didn't you?
43:11Six months in Paris.
43:13You're stepping into your world.
43:14I need to figure out what to do with mine.
43:16We'll make it work.
43:17I want us to, Alex.
43:19But I can't keep putting my life on pause.
43:22And I'm not asking you to.
43:25I'm just asking we find a way together.
43:31Are you sure you don't want me to drive you?
43:33It's better if I go alone.
43:36Even if we're not together every day for a while,
43:38you're still the person I want to build the rest of my life with.
43:46I know we're strong.
43:48I just hope we don't forget how to come back.
44:13I know we're still the person I want to do.
44:14my work in an opening preview that's huge kate it feels like a dream but it still feels better
44:21when i hear your voice i miss you i booked a flight for friday and again next week i'm not

45:24stop
45:24expecting me to be you don't have to do it his way you just have to lead like yourself
45:49if they still think i'm his weakness they've clearly underestimated both of us

46:03month over month new markets new partnerships that's how we move ahead leo wouldn't have my
46:10father is in here and i'm not here to imitate him we build upon my father's legacy but the world

46:38place in
46:38your heart let's help her build something here something that's truly hers
46:54the space looks beautiful thank you i still can't believe this is really happening well the space is
47:01all yours for however long you want you can stay in athensit if you want that's generous and a lot

47:20be with him

48:18yes
48:27kate are you okay yes it's just a wave of something i i need to sit down

48:47it
48:47holds more than coffee now are you okay you seem very skeptical i'm just tired trying not to think too
48:54much maybe try thinking out loud with me maybe later okay
49:17you're not alone here kate oh brendan
49:43oh brendan
49:46Are you okay?
49:50I don't know.
49:53I'm just scared of what this might mean for us, for everything.
49:57Hey, we need to start something new, together.
50:02I keep thinking of everything we've been through.
50:04All the noise, the pressure.
50:07What if it all starts again?
50:09Then we shut it out.
50:10We don't need to prove anything to anyone anymore.
50:15You really think we can start a family without letting all the old stuff get in the way?
50:19We won't follow their rules.
50:21We'll make our own.
50:25No matter what happens now, you're not doing this alone.
50:39This is really happening.
50:42Finally.
50:43No chaos, no cameras.
50:44You know what your triple is, drama.
50:46Just us, Lena, and the sea.
50:49And a few nosy neighbors, maybe.
50:51Exactly.
50:52The wedding I never knew I wanted.
50:56You two survived secrets, scandals, and at least three people who tried to sabotage this.
51:03So let's keep the drama and get to the good part.
51:05Also, I'm only legally ordained because of a dare and too much wine.
51:11That sounds about right.
51:13If either of you objects, blink twice now, so I can run.
51:17Not blinking.
51:19Great.
51:20Then by the power vested in me, by the internet and questionable life choices, I now pronounce
51:26you very brave.
51:28Or possibly just in love.
51:32I choose you every day, no matter where the story tastes.
51:36So let's ride it again.
51:38So let's ride it again.
51:49I think they'll believe we really did it.
51:52They'll see it in everything we build next.
51:53So let's ride it again.
51:57So friends, we're back together.
