00:00:01Where the hell are you?
00:00:04Grace, I...
00:00:05Save the excuses!
00:00:07I don't care about the storm. I gave you five minutes.
00:00:10Ethan, you only have 30 seconds left.
00:00:37Ethan, seven days left before you leave this world.
00:00:46I do not belong to this world.
00:01:03Ten years ago, my wife and daughter died on our anniversary.
00:01:07No! No! No!
00:01:11My life ended with them.
00:01:16I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:01:30System activated.
00:01:32Ten years.
00:01:34Serve a stranger and her child.
00:01:36Obey every order they give.
00:01:38Then your wife and daughter live again.
00:01:41Do you accept?
00:01:42Yes! Yes!
00:02:05The revised pledge packet.
00:02:07Your speaking cards, the speaking cards, the seating chart.
00:02:11You're late.
00:02:16Grace, the reserve service for table one is missing.
00:02:20Which one?
00:02:21The 2018 Reservo Sestra.
00:02:23That was the course I agreed to.
00:02:28You know where everything is.
00:02:31Go to the cold room and get the 2018 Reserve tin.
00:02:39To the freezer? He's soaked. Wouldn't he freeze in there?
00:02:45No.
00:02:48Ethan handles it. He always does.
00:02:55Not always.
00:02:57Seven more days, I leave for good.
00:03:01What did you just say?
00:03:07I've traveled a long way to get here.
00:03:10To find something I lost a long time ago.
00:03:13A part of myself I thought was gone forever.
00:03:16I have to go in there.
00:03:19I have to face the truth.
00:03:27I have to go, how can I win?
00:03:28And get the 2018 Reserve tin.
00:03:32I have to wait to get here.
00:03:50I have to wait for a long time ago.
00:03:52I can wait for it and see the rest of my room.
00:04:00Open the door!
00:04:02Open it!
00:04:04Help!
00:04:05Help!
00:04:07Open it!
00:04:08Open the door!
00:04:15Mom!
00:04:18Open it now!
00:04:33Open it now!
00:04:34This one.
00:04:41Inside the house, you are my husband.
00:04:44To Lily, you are a father in practice.
00:04:46Outside the house, you support the image when I need it.
00:04:51Okay.
00:04:52There is no legal marriage.
00:04:54No wedding, no shared room, no rights to my money, my company, or my life.
00:05:04Okay.
00:05:08Ten years.
00:05:10He never said no.
00:05:12Not once.
00:05:13His hands are freezing.
00:05:16Grace, table one is waiting.
00:05:21Get him a blanket.
00:05:28What am I thinking?
00:05:29It couldn't be concern.
00:05:30He never said no.
00:05:38Breakfast is ready.

00:17:56in the battle
00:17:57she was out of the way
00:17:59I didn't find it.
00:18:01It was here.
00:18:16I shouldn't have assumed.
00:18:18About the box.
00:18:22Her therapist moved Thursday to Friday.
00:18:28The house was perfect.
00:18:30Just like before.
00:18:32But I could feel him pulling away.
00:18:34And I hated myself for wondering, since when was I so afraid of losing him?
00:18:43My last birthday in this world.
00:18:45Two more days.
00:18:47Then I go home.
00:18:59Make a wish, Dad.
00:19:01A real one.
00:19:03Write it down or it won't work.
00:19:12For my wife and daughter.
00:19:15Safe, happy, and loved.
00:19:23Mr. Cole, Ms. Miller wants you downstairs to celebrate the birthday.
00:19:27My birthday?
00:19:34Is this for me?
00:19:38Thank you, Grace.
00:19:39You're welcome.
00:19:41Daddy, I got you a birthday gift.
00:19:45Okay, ready?
00:19:47Ready?
00:20:06Oh, you're here.
00:20:07Great.
00:20:08When they bring out dessert, you can cut the cake.
00:20:10Funny thing.
00:20:11We share a birthday.
00:20:18Then Ethan can wish, too.
00:20:21Come on.
00:20:23Come on.
00:20:25Just do it.
00:20:32Let me leave this world.
00:20:35Let me never see any of you again.
00:20:38One more day.
00:20:44Grace?
00:20:47Happy birthday.
00:20:54Miss Miller, the board guests are here.
00:20:57Set the bar site up for service.
00:21:02Perfect timing.
00:21:09Well, I guess I'll be going, then.
00:21:16This is a beautiful party.
00:21:18It is.
00:21:19Thank you so much for coming.
00:21:20We're so glad you could make it.
00:21:22You didn't really have the M's going to be like, how did you could make it?
00:21:24Oh, I love you.
00:21:25That's your first taste.
00:21:32You run this place beautifully.
00:21:38He's still here.
00:21:40That arrangement lasted longer than I expected.
00:21:43At least Lily finally has her real father back.
00:21:46That's a little too simple.
00:21:48Ethan has been here every day.
00:21:57Can we do this every year?
00:21:59As long as I'm around.
00:22:10One more day, then I'll have the best birthday gift of all.
00:22:14Go back to my wife and daughter and bring them to life.
00:22:31Can you bring the appetizer platter over?
00:22:33Can you bring the appetizer platter over?
00:22:48And thank you all for coming to my birthday party.
00:23:02Ryan.
00:23:13He's not breathing.
00:23:16Severe reaction.
00:23:19What did he eat?
00:23:22He only touched what you brought over.
00:23:26He asked me to carry the tray.
00:23:30He knows my allergies.
00:23:35Call emergency transport and police, Ryan.
00:23:38I'll make Ethan give you an explanation.
00:23:43No police.
00:23:46If this turns public, it hits Lily, you're bored, all of it.
00:23:53Let me handle him quietly.
00:23:57Mom.
00:24:01Let me talk to him and get the truth.
00:24:05Fine.
00:24:14You go with him.
00:24:17If that's what you want.
00:24:23Sir.
00:24:33Let's see if you'll make it through tonight.
00:24:36I'll pick you up tomorrow.
00:24:49Last night in this world, Grace told me to go with him.
00:24:5810 years of doing every assigned thing.
00:25:04I can't break the rules now.
00:25:11You weren't allergic at all.
00:25:14Why are you trying to frame me?
00:25:17So what?
00:25:21You should have left when you had the chance.
00:25:27That's fine.
00:25:32You stayed in my place for 10 years.
00:25:38You fed my kid.
00:25:43You stood beside my woman!
00:25:56Lily?
00:25:57Lily?
00:26:00Lily?
00:26:01Lily, what are you doing in here?
00:26:04There's nothing here anymore.
00:26:16What is that?
00:26:20For my wife and daughter, safe, happy, and loved.
00:26:27These are birthday cards.
00:26:29His birthday wish is all about us.
00:26:32He didn't even write it for himself.
00:26:35What if we've wronged him again?
00:26:42If I make one wrong move now, I don't just lose my own world.
00:26:46I lose my wife and daughter with it.
00:26:54You got too comfortable.
00:26:56She was never yours to leave and come back to.
00:27:03And she still picked me.
00:27:07Ethan, I need you downstairs.
00:27:10Ethan, where's my blue sweater?
00:27:11Ethan, my pills.
00:27:13Handled.
00:27:14Now.
00:27:14You can go.
00:27:16One more night.
00:27:17Then the 10 years are over.
00:27:19And I return to the world where I belong.
00:27:22To my wife and daughter.
00:27:23And I return to the world where I belong.
00:27:25I'm dead.
00:27:25What?
00:27:28Fuck.
00:27:33Fuck.
00:27:41Say hello.
00:27:44Ethan.
00:27:45Did he hurt you?
00:27:51No.
00:27:54We're coming!
00:27:57Keep going!
00:28:07Do not make any sound.
00:28:30Mission complete.
00:28:32Original world restoration approved.
00:28:35You may exit this world and restore your wife and daughter to the original world.
00:28:42One thing first.
00:28:44State request.
00:28:45Every lie.
00:28:47He knows my allergies.
00:28:49Deception detected.
00:28:50Every hit.
00:28:54Every second.
00:28:55System analysis indicates a high probability of deception.
00:28:59Leave it for them.
00:29:01Confirming.
00:29:09Ethan?
00:29:13He made me.
00:29:15Please.
00:29:21No!
00:29:50Now we will play the video
00:29:52Ethan left for you
00:30:11You did that?
00:30:14Grace, listen to me
00:30:17Get away from us
00:30:18Grace
00:30:19Security
00:30:24He was unstable
00:30:25I was trying to contain him
00:30:27You touched him again
00:30:28After he was tied down
00:30:29Sweetheart
00:30:31Don't call me that
00:30:32He's gone
00:30:33Because he wanted to leave you
00:30:36Mom, where did he go?
00:30:41I don't know
00:30:43But we will find him
00:30:57But we will find him
00:30:59He told us
00:31:10He knew everything
00:31:22Take Ryan's access away from every property
00:31:25It's done
00:31:27Pull every bank trance
00:31:28Every travel record
00:31:30Every call
00:31:30I want all of it
00:31:35Was he telling the truth?
00:31:38About what?
00:31:40Everything
00:31:46Go to bed
00:31:47He said he always came
00:31:49Go to bed, Lily
00:32:10He was packing
00:32:38He didn't keep anything
00:32:48I thought I lost this
00:32:51He labelled everything
00:32:53He was really leaving
00:32:55No
00:32:56He
00:32:59He won't leave us like this
00:33:01He loves us so much
00:33:07This isn't how he cuts it
00:33:08It's the same sandwich, sweetheart
00:33:10It's the syrup you want from Attach
00:33:12It's not
00:33:13Move the donor brunch to Friday
00:33:17What now?
00:33:18The soup was wrong last night
00:33:19The toast is wrong now
00:33:20The pills came late
00:33:22My sweater wasn't in the car
00:33:24Nobody told the driver I have therapy
00:33:26Sit down
00:33:29He never forgot anything
00:33:31Miss Miller
00:33:33Mr. Cole used to send us the order every morning
00:33:35Then why did that stop?
00:33:37Because he did it himself
00:33:43That one has expired
00:33:51Mr. Cole rotated them every week
00:33:57You said people would handle it
00:34:03He handled it
00:34:06I know
00:34:07There's news
00:34:08A mysterious person says they can help find Mr. Cole
00:34:21He vanished in front of me
00:34:23Did you see a body?
00:34:25No
00:34:26A vehicle?
00:34:27No
00:34:27A normal exit?
00:34:29No
00:34:31You're not describing a disappearance
00:34:33You're describing a displacement event
00:34:38I didn't come here for nonsense
00:34:40Then don't pay me with disbelief
00:34:47When did he appear in your life?
00:34:50What records existed before that?
00:34:52Did he ever speak about time running out?
00:34:55Did he ever refer to another family?
00:34:58Did he leave any object that felt out of place?
00:35:02He did mention about seven days
00:35:03Did he say that more than once?
00:35:05Yes
00:35:07Then he knew he was on borrowed time
00:35:10Where is he?
00:35:12Not dead
00:35:15Not in your world
00:35:22Say that again?
00:35:24He is not dead
00:35:25Then where?
00:35:30Most people never get close enough to prove it
00:35:32Grief covers what logic cannot hold
00:35:39Can he come back?
00:35:41That depends on why he came here
00:35:44And what he left unfinished where he belongs
00:35:48Can I reach him?
00:35:52Possibly
00:35:53Tell me
00:35:54A crossing is not travel the way you mean it
00:35:56It takes an anchor and it takes a cost
00:35:59What cost?
00:36:01Memory is the usual first price
00:36:05Whose memory?
00:36:07The one who crosses
00:36:09When?
00:36:12Not until you know what you are crossing for
00:36:17I'm crossing because I owe him the truth
00:36:20If you go
00:36:21You need to survive
00:36:23Seeing a life
00:36:24That was never yours
00:36:32You should be asleep
00:36:33I was looking for something
00:36:38I made this when I was seven
00:36:45Did you ever give it to him?
00:36:48I forgot
00:36:52Lily
00:36:53If I found him
00:36:54What would you want him to know?
00:36:56Sorry
00:36:57Sorry dad
00:36:57I picked someone else
00:36:59Just because I knew he'd come when I called
00:37:01I didn't know he could leave
00:37:07Tell him I was wrong
00:37:10Tell him I was wrong
00:37:10I will
00:37:14Why this drawing?
00:37:16Because he stayed in that picture longer than he stayed in our lives
00:37:20It is an anchor then
00:37:25What happens if I cross?
00:37:26You get one chance
00:37:28To arrive where his imprint is strongest now
00:37:35And after that
00:37:36If you return you will not come back untouched
00:37:41You may remember what you did
00:37:43You may remember what he meant
00:37:47Faces and voices are less stable
00:37:50Can I bring Lily?
00:37:51No
00:37:54A child does not survive this kind of dysplacient well
00:37:58Then I go alone
00:37:59You are not going to get him back
00:38:01I know
00:38:02Then why are you going?
00:38:07Because if he really belonged somewhere else
00:38:10I need to see what I stole from him
00:38:14Then tomorrow night we try
00:38:26If I don't come back
00:38:27You are not going there to disappear
00:38:37It's tonight
00:38:43Will he come home with you?
00:38:48I don't know
00:38:49If he doesn't
00:38:50Does that mean he hates us?
00:38:53No
00:38:55It may mean he belongs somewhere else more
00:39:00Then give him this
00:39:02Don't make him forgive us if he doesn't want to
00:39:08I won't
00:39:14Come back
00:39:15I'll try
00:39:21Mom
00:39:23If he looks happy
00:39:25Don't ruin it
00:39:53Say his name
00:39:56Ethan
00:39:57Ethan Cole
00:39:59Now say what ties him to you
00:40:03He raised my daughter
00:40:05Again
00:40:07He kept my house running
00:40:11He loved us in ways we did not deserve
00:40:17If you see him
00:40:18Do not touch him first
00:40:36Mr. Cole
00:40:40They're alive
00:40:41They're alive
00:40:41The surgery held
00:40:52Your wife regained consciousness twice
00:40:54Your daughter once
00:40:56Memory response is inconsistent
00:40:58What does that mean?
00:40:59They know their names
00:41:00They know who they are
00:41:01But personal recall is incomplete
00:41:09One minute
00:41:18I know your face
00:41:20That's enough
00:41:21That's enough
00:41:22What happened?
00:41:23The crash happened
00:41:25Surgery happened
00:41:26You made it
00:41:28My father's company
00:41:31Tell me it's still standing
00:41:33They froze the succession meeting when you went into surgery
00:41:37Then it's not lost yet
00:41:42Dad
00:41:43Ava
00:41:45Ava
00:41:56Mrs. Cole
00:41:57The board wants guidance before noon
00:42:01Then bring me the numbers
00:42:28He looks thinner
00:42:31More tired
00:42:32But more alive
00:42:53Emma can bear the limited decision making
00:42:56Not for strain
00:42:57My father built this company with full control
00:42:59If I don't show up
00:43:00They'll split it before I can stand
00:43:01We have a liquidity breach
00:43:03In 48 hours
00:43:04Unless the bridge facility closes
00:43:07Who offered the bridge?
00:43:08Sable Ridge
00:43:13They've been circling us for months
00:43:16Can we survive without them?
00:43:20Not long enough
00:43:24Mrs. Cole
00:43:26Your blood pressure is already climbing
00:43:28Then don't stand in the doorway like I'm a child
00:43:40Ethan can just split himself cleanly in two
00:43:43Protect the woman
00:43:44Protect the company
00:43:46Hold the child together
00:43:48Do all of it at once
00:43:53If we don't sign by tomorrow they call default language
00:43:57I need the truth
00:43:58The truth is we don't have enough information and we still may have to sign
00:44:14Did mom win?
00:44:16Not yet
00:44:19We are working
00:44:21That is his polite word for losing slowly
00:44:24Then win faster
00:44:37I need ten minutes
00:44:54You should not be here
00:44:56I wanted to know if you made it back alive
00:44:59You know now
00:45:00Go home
00:45:01I do not have one here
00:45:03That is not my problem
00:45:06I am not here to take anything from them
00:45:13Then stay away from them
00:45:19Who is she?
00:45:20Someone who should leave
00:45:32Ava
00:45:37Breathe with me
00:45:38Four in
00:45:40Four out
00:45:51You've done this before
00:45:55Yes
00:45:56Many times
00:45:58Yes
00:46:02Stay until I sleep
00:46:05I will
00:46:12I told you to leave
00:46:15I helped your CFO flag the shell entity connected to Sable Ridge
00:46:18That was you?
00:46:19Yes
00:46:20Why?
00:46:21Because I know what it looks like when you decide you can carry everything yourself
00:46:24I know what happens after
00:46:25Do not use what happened in your house to step into mine
00:46:27I am not asking to step into anything
00:46:30I am giving you something you need
00:46:33You still should not be here
00:46:35I know
00:46:35I also know I was wrong about why you stayed in our world
00:46:40I thought if someone carried us for ten years
00:46:42It had to mean we were the center of his life
00:46:45Good
00:46:46Ethan
00:46:48I am not asking you for anything
00:46:54Then keep it that way
00:47:03I want no filtered version
00:47:04Give me the real exposure
00:47:05If we do nothing
00:47:07Payroll fails first
00:47:08If we move too fast
00:47:10Control shifts before we can map the hidden structures
00:47:12Your father's old enemies are not buying debt
00:47:14They are buying position
00:47:15And the bridge paper
00:47:19Predatory
00:47:19Maybe survivable if we cut their teeth out before we sign
00:47:28Then do that
00:47:29Mrs. Cole
00:47:31This meeting should have ended 15 minutes ago
00:47:32Then come back in 15 more
00:47:52Ethan
00:47:54Stay
00:47:54Okay
00:47:55I am here with you
00:48:13We need execution tonight
00:48:15Where is the affiliate control disclosure?
00:48:18Appendix 3
00:48:26This is summary language
00:48:27I want beneficial ownership
00:48:29You do not have the time for a forensic exercise
00:48:32Then give us enough time
00:48:34Time is exactly what the market has decided not to offer
00:48:38Maturity dates move
00:48:40Fees cap
00:48:41Asset ring fashion expands
00:48:43Cross default language narrows
00:48:44Or there is no signature tonight
00:48:52You did not answer my question earlier
00:48:56Which one?
00:48:57Would you sign this?
00:49:00Only if doing nothing kills us faster
00:49:12You again
00:49:15Sable Ridge used a shell in Zurich three years ago
00:49:18To strip collateral through a delayed disclosure chain
00:49:20I had someone pull the old arbitration notes
00:49:22Who is someone?
00:49:24Some of them are people who owe me favors from another life
00:49:34Why are you doing this?
00:49:36Because if I am going to stand in the part of your life I do not belong in
00:49:40It should at least help you survive it
00:49:41You are still standing in it
00:49:43I know
00:49:45Do not come upstairs
00:49:46I won't
00:49:56Where did this come from?
00:49:58A source that wants Sable hurt more than we do
00:50:10Then I already like them
00:50:39You crossed worlds to help me with paper
00:50:41Work
00:50:41I crossed because leaving you with what I did felt worse than the cost of coming
00:50:46I am not confused anymore
00:50:48That matters
00:50:49About what?
00:50:50About the ten years
00:50:52You were not loving us the way I thought
00:50:54You were surviving us while trying to get back here
00:50:57That changes what I'm allowed to ask from you
00:51:00You should not be asking for anything
00:51:03Then I won't
00:51:05But I can still tell you when I see you caring too much
00:51:12That has never stopped being true
00:51:14Does Emma know about me?
00:51:18No
00:51:21Will she?
00:51:22I hope not
00:51:29Then I stay out of her way
00:51:41I heard you nearly sold the company to wolves
00:51:44We nearly died in surgery too
00:51:47Recovery does not mean the first decisions were clean
00:51:51And you
00:51:54We were boxed in
00:51:56I am not asking you to trust the paper I almost signed
00:51:59I am asking you to look at the structure we have now
00:52:03This keeps one facility alive
00:52:05One facility becomes proof
00:52:09Proof becomes leverage
00:52:17We bought time
00:52:20Yes
00:52:22That means we are allowed one decent meal tonight
00:52:28Can it be fries?
00:52:30For 90 days of breathing, yes
00:52:47Okay
00:52:48Okay
00:52:49You know where everything is already
00:52:52I put it there
00:52:53That sounds like dad
00:52:56Hello?
00:52:57No public statement yet
00:53:00We need one more week of calm
00:53:08Sit down
00:53:11I am standing
00:53:14Barely
00:53:22I hate this part
00:53:25Which part
00:53:30Needing you this much while still feeling pieces missing
00:53:34You do not owe me completed memory
00:53:37Before you lean on me
00:53:39That sounds practiced
00:53:47We can restart one line by Monday if the old supplier releases inventory
00:53:51That still leaves reputational risk and labor panic
00:53:57Can one line hold the room?
00:54:00One line tells everyone we are not dead
00:54:03Then one line lives
00:54:11That means we won, right?
00:54:15It means we did not lose today
00:54:22You will never stay with me again, Ethan
00:54:40This is the last time
00:54:41I am leaving soon
00:54:46Lily made it when she was seven
00:54:48She found it after you were gone
00:54:51She told me not to make you forgive us
00:54:53If you did not want to
00:54:55I came here to give you this
00:54:56And to say one thing clearly
00:54:57The ten years you carried in our house
00:54:59Should not disappear like they meant nothing
00:55:01Thank you
00:55:03Goodbye, Ethan
00:55:31The date of Related Party
00:55:33Disclosure does not match the earlier terms and conditions list
00:55:41They staged the exposure in layers
00:55:43The first set got us to sign
00:55:45The second set is meant to close around whatever we still have left
00:55:48How much time?
00:55:50Not much
00:55:52If we move loudly now, we show them where we are weak
00:55:57Then we move quietly
00:55:59If they think we are stabilizing, they will relax around the edges
00:56:05That is where we pull proof
00:56:09This is the cleanest version of a dirty option we can force by morning
00:56:12Do you still hate it?
00:56:13Yes
00:56:14Do we have better?
00:56:16I narrowed cross-default language
00:56:18I pushed disclosures
00:56:19I boxed off what I could
00:56:20If they are still hiding something, it is under a structure we cannot see yet
00:56:27Ethan
00:56:28Let me look at you one more time
00:56:30I'm leaving tonight
00:56:32Not signing may kill them faster than signing
00:56:34No
00:56:36Ethan
00:56:41If this goes wrong, it goes wrong with both our names on it
00:56:45No
00:56:52Cash pressure eases
00:56:54One creditor backs off
00:56:56Two board threats go quiet
00:57:01Tell me this one holds
00:57:04It bought us room
00:57:07Did we win?
00:57:10We survived the morning
00:57:19That would have meant nothing to me in my world
00:57:21Here it says everything
00:57:27If we get another week, I can rebuild supplier trust
00:57:32If we get another week, I can map the affiliates deeper
00:57:35Then maybe we really can hold this
00:57:45What is it?
00:57:46They moved through a controlled affiliate we were not shown
00:57:48The asset ringfast is being pierced through an internal timing trigger
00:57:52Christ
00:57:54This was held back
00:57:58Can we stop it?
00:58:02Emma
00:58:09Answer me
00:58:12Maybe part of it, not all of it
00:58:21Hello?
00:58:22The vendors got the notice
00:58:23If they file before morning, we lose the hold
00:58:27Take the injunction language
00:58:29Strip it to what survives tonight
00:58:31I believe you
00:58:38Sable triggered the affiliate lock
00:58:39The board just voted to recognize the transfer
00:58:45Say it clearly
00:58:46We lost control of the company
00:58:52I signed the term sheet, this is on me
00:58:54You signed what was in front of you
00:58:56I should have seen more
00:58:57They hid more
00:58:58I still signed it
00:59:02Everybody out
00:59:06You too
00:59:10Okay
00:59:22I know what happened
00:59:27Then you know I should have done better
00:59:29I was so close to happiness
00:59:30But I made a mistake
00:59:32What if Emma doesn't want me anymore?
00:59:34You did everything you could
00:59:35She won't hold a grudge against you
00:59:44It was not enough
00:59:46That matters to me
00:59:48You should not be here
00:59:49I did not cross worlds to leave that unsaid
00:59:52You should go
00:59:53Not before you hear me
00:59:58You came every time I called
01:00:01You raised my child
01:00:02You held my house together
01:00:04I let myself believe that would go on forever
01:00:07I know what I did
01:00:08I know who I kept choosing
01:00:09I know how late I am
01:00:12Grace
01:00:13No
01:00:14If you want me gone
01:00:15Tell me to my face
01:00:16Those ten years meant nothing
01:00:18They did not mean nothing
01:00:21Then do not stand there
01:00:23And make me feel insane
01:00:24For still carrying them
01:00:27I am not making you insane
01:00:29I am trying
01:00:31Not to making this worse
01:00:34You do not get to decide that alone
01:00:43You matter to me
01:00:44What happened in your house mattered
01:00:48What happened to Lily mattered
01:00:50What happened to me there mattered
01:00:52But Emma is my wife
01:00:54Ava is my daughter
01:00:55Even if she never remembers me
01:00:57The way she used to I stay
01:00:58I will not betray them
01:01:00So that is the truth
01:01:02Yes
01:01:05Then look at me and say
01:01:06There is nothing left of us in you
01:01:11There is something
01:01:12There will always be something
01:01:16That is enough to ruin me
01:01:18And not enough to keep you
01:01:24Do you know what the worst part is?
01:01:29I still cannot hate you
01:01:30For telling me the truth
01:01:33I was selfish
01:01:35I was blind
01:01:36I kept taking and taking
01:01:38And calling it normal
01:01:42I still came here thinking
01:01:43Maybe if I stood in front of you long enough
01:01:45You would turn and choose me
01:01:48Grace
01:01:49I know
01:01:50I know
01:01:51I know
01:01:53I live with you for ten years
01:01:58I know how you walk when you are tired
01:02:00I know what you do when you are angry
01:02:05I know the sound of your keys when you come in late
01:02:07I know what silence means when it comes from you
01:02:10You do not get to tell me I imagined all of that
01:02:18I am not saying you imagined it
01:02:21Then say what I was to you
01:02:25You were my family there
01:02:32I am not going to ask you to come with me
01:02:38I am not going to ask you to choose me
01:02:42I want one thing
01:02:45Do not forget me
01:02:46I will not
01:02:48Do not let those ten years disappear like they were a job you survived
01:03:00I won't erase them
01:03:05Goodbye, Ethan
01:03:12Goodbye, Grace
01:03:21Do not move
01:03:24What?
01:03:26I need to look at you while I still can
01:03:51Grace?
01:03:53What happened?
01:03:56I'm fine
01:03:57Did you find him?
01:03:59Yes
01:04:00Did you bring him back?
01:04:03No
01:04:04Then go home before your mind starts protecting you from what it cannot keep
01:04:14What fades first?
01:04:15His voice
01:04:16Then his face
01:04:18And one day
01:04:19You realize you cannot remember him at all
01:04:23Maybe that is the punishment
01:04:24Maybe it is also the mercy
01:04:45Did you see him?
01:04:48Yes
01:04:48Did he look happy?
01:04:52He was where he belonged
01:04:56Did he say anything?
01:05:02I said enough
01:05:05You're forgetting him
01:05:08Will you forget him before I do?
01:05:13I will remember what matters
01:05:29You should be resting
01:05:30I was
01:05:33Then I noticed
01:05:34My husband
01:05:35Disappeared into a glass box
01:05:37To decide my life for me
01:05:40Emma
01:05:41If you came out here to say it
01:05:43You do not have to make it gentle
01:05:44Say what?
01:05:46That it is over
01:05:48I don't have the right to stay after this
01:05:51I should have protected it better
01:05:53Because it was his
01:05:53And because it was yours
01:05:56You trusted me
01:05:57And I still let it happen
01:06:08Are you done?
01:06:15Emma
01:06:18You are my man
01:06:20If you were wrong
01:06:21Then I was wrong with you
01:06:25Emma
01:06:26We are standing in a world
01:06:27Where I woke up from surgery
01:06:28Without half the map in my head
01:06:30And you came back to me
01:06:31From something I still do not understand
01:06:33At this point
01:06:34I am not interested in pretending
01:06:36Certainty is our only respectable option
01:06:38On a world this unknown
01:06:40We move together
01:06:42I already lost my father's company
01:06:44I am not losing you too
01:06:47You do not know everything
01:06:48I woke up missing pieces of my life
01:06:50I watched my daughter know you before I did
01:06:53I watched you carry my company on no sleep
01:06:56And no room to fail
01:06:57My standards for impossible are lower now
01:07:01I did not come out here
01:07:03To dismiss you from my life
01:07:07I came out here because
01:07:10I have been watching you since I woke up
01:07:13And you were the only person in that room
01:07:15Who kept telling me the truth
01:07:17Even when it cut your own throat
01:07:25After the crash
01:07:26I did not wake up here
01:07:32I woke up in another life
01:07:36There was a woman named Grace
01:07:37And a little girl named Lily
01:07:40They thought I was there to stay
01:07:41I knew I was there on borrowed time
01:07:45Something called Atlas told me
01:07:46That if I completed the term there
01:07:47I could come back here
01:07:48And restore you and Ava
01:07:49That was the deal
01:07:51Ten years in their world
01:07:53For one chance to get my wife
01:07:54And daughter back in this one
01:07:56Grace needed a husband in public
01:07:58Lily needed a father in practice
01:08:00I became the person who handled everything
01:08:02School, medicine, meals, night terrors
01:08:05Logistics, board dinners, family emergencies
01:08:07Every day I told myself it was temporary
01:08:10Every year it stopped feeling temporary
01:08:14Near the end
01:08:15Grace's old partner came back
01:08:17He framed me
01:08:18Hurt Lily
01:08:20Blamed me for things he did himself
01:08:24Then he tied me to a chair
01:08:25And beat me because he knew I was in the way
01:08:28Atlas gave me the way back
01:08:29Right before Grace found me
01:08:33Grace was the woman who came here
01:08:40And all the time you were there
01:08:42You knew you were trying to get back to us
01:08:45Every day
01:08:46I wrote the same birthday wish every year
01:08:48For my wife and daughter
01:08:51Safe, happy, and loved
01:08:53I came back for you
01:08:54I came back for Ava
01:08:56If the deal opened again tomorrow
01:08:58I would still choose the road that led back here
01:09:02Did you love Grace?
01:09:06No
01:09:10It's you
01:09:14Always and forever
01:09:15That is the answer I needed
01:09:17Then stop standing out there like you're waiting for judgment
01:09:21You're in it
01:09:29Tell me something only my husband would know
01:09:34You hate the smell of hospital flowers
01:09:38You say they make sick rooms feel more like sick rooms
01:09:42You sleep with one foot outside the blanket
01:09:44You read bad news twice before you say it out loud
01:09:46You always pretend Ava's school projects are easy
01:09:49And then stay up until one in the morning fixing them
01:09:51Again
01:09:52You steal fries and call it quality control
01:09:54When you're annoyed you always start turning your cup in your hands
01:09:57On our second anniversary you said if we ever got rich
01:10:00You still wanted ugly kitchen mugs
01:10:01Because expensive ones make coffee taste like meetings
01:10:03I don't remember saying that
01:10:05You did
01:10:08It sounds like me
01:10:09It is you
01:10:14Say one more
01:10:21I missed your voice
01:10:26You still have it
01:10:30Not like this
01:10:32Not when it's aimed at me
01:10:37I missed you too
01:10:38I just didn't know what I was missing
01:10:45Look at me
01:10:48You are home
