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 wanted to go out then to work out.
00:03:28And get the 2018 Reserve 10.
00:03:31Um no, no.
00:03:32Oh no, no!
00:03:33Cooley!

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.

00:15:50You feel better?
00:15:52Yeah, but mom says I need calm.
00:16:00Check this out.
00:16:11Thanks, daddy. Besides mom, you're my favorite person.
00:16:23This isn't because they chose him.
00:16:26It's because in three days, the ten years end.
00:16:31And when it ends, I leave this world.
00:16:35I go back to my own timeline, to my wife and my daughter.
00:16:44What are you doing?
00:16:53Clearing out.
00:16:54Where's Lily's keepsake box?
00:16:57What?
00:16:58The white memory box.
00:16:59Her hospital bracelet.
00:17:01First curls.
00:17:02Ryan's cards.
00:17:03Baby photos.
00:17:03I didn't touch it.
00:17:10You've been clearing things out.
00:17:16Go get it back.
00:17:26No.
00:17:28Come on.
00:17:30Come on.
00:17:31Come on.
00:18:00I didn't find it.
00:18:01It was here.
00:18:16I shouldn't have assumed about the box.
00:18:21Her therapist moved Thursday to Friday.
00:18:28The house was perfect, just like before.
00:18:31But I could feel him pulling away, and I hated myself for wondering, since when was I so
00:18:39afraid 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, Miss Miller wants you downstairs to celebrate the birthday.
00:19:27My birthday?
00:19:35Is 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.
00:19:46Ready?
00:20:06Oh, you're here.
00:20:07Great.
00:20:07When 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!
00:20:24Just do it.
00:20:32Let me leave this world.
00:20:34Let 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 side up for service.
00:21:03Perfect timing.
00:21:08Well, 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, I was going to be really excited you could make it.
00:21:25Oh, that's your first taste.
00:21:32You run this place beautifully.
00:21:38He's still here.
00:21:39That arrangement lasted longer than I expected.
00:21:42At least Lily finally has her real father back.
00:21:46That's a little too simple.
00:21:49Ethan 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.
00:22:12Then I'll have the best birthday gift of all.
00:22:14Go back to my wife and daughter.
00:22:16And bring them to life.
00:22:17What's up.
00:22:19Two more.

00:28:42One thing first.
00:28:44State request.

00:28:47He knows my allergies.
00:28:49Deception detected.
00:28:50Every hit.
00:28:53Every 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.

00:29:24No!
00:29:28Oh.
00:29:32No!
00:29:50Now we will play the video easily.
00:29:52Nothing left for you.
00:30:11You did that?
00:30:14Grace, listen to me!
00:30:17Get away from us!
00:30:19Grace...
00:30:20Security!
00:30:24He was unstable. I was trying to contain him.
00:30:27You touched him again after he was tied down.
00:30:29Sweetheart, you know me.
00:30:31Don't call me that.
00:30:32He's gone because he wanted to leave you!
00:30:39Mom, where did he go?
00:30:41I don't know.
00:30:43But we will find him.
00:31:02He 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, every travel record, every 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.
00:31:48He said he always came.
00:31:49Go to bed, Lily.
00:32:11He was packing.
00:32:39He didn't keep anything.
00:32:40He didn't keep anything.
00:32:41He didn't keep anything.
00:32:48I thought I lost this.
00:32:51He labeled everything.
00:32:53He was really leaving.
00:32:55No.
00:32:57He...
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 a tax.
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.
00:33:21The 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.
00:33:36Then 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.
00:34:24Did you see a body?
00:34:25No.
00:34:26A vehicle?
00:34:27No.
00:34:28A 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.
00:34:48When 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.
00:35:04Did 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.
00:35:33Brief 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.
00:35:57It takes an anchor and it takes a cost.
00:36:00What 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, you need to survive seeing a life that was never yours.
00:36:32You should be asleep.
00:36:34I was looking for something.
00:36:38I made this when I was seven.
00:36:40I made this when I was seven.
00:36:45Did you ever give it to him?
00:36:48I forgot.
00:36:52Lily, if I found him, what would you want him to know?
00:36:56Sorry. Sorry, Dad. I picked someone else.
00:36:59Just because I knew he'd come when I called, I didn't know he could leave.
00:37:07Tell 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.
00:37:21It is an anchor then.
00:37:25What happens if I cross?
00:37:26You get one chance to arrive where his imprint is strongest now.
00:37:35And after that?
00:37:37If 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 you 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, does 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.
00:39:09I won't.
00:39:13Come back.
00:39:15I'll try.
00:39:21Mom!
00:39:22Mom!
00:39:24If he looks happy, don't ruin it.
00:39:50If he doesn't get happy, don't ruin it.
00:39:53Say his name
00:39:56Ethan 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
00:40:16If you see him, do not touch first
00:40:38Mr. Cole
00:40:40They're alive
00:40:41The surgery held
00:40:53Your wife regained consciousness twice
00:40:55Your 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
00:41:10One minute
00:41:19I know your face
00:41:20That's enough
00:41:22What happened?
00:41:24The 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
00:41:35When you went into surgery
00:41:36Then it's not lost yet
00:41:41Dad?
00:41:43Ava
00:42:05Ava
00:42:30He 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 in 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
00:43:14For months
00:43:15Can we survive without them?
00:43:19Not long enough
00:43:24Mrs. Cole
00:43:25Your 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
00:43:55They call default language
00:43:57I need the truth
00:43:58The truth is
00:43:59We don't have enough information
00:44:00And 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
00:44:39I 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
00:45:57Many times
00:45:59Yes
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 consclosure?
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
00:48:37Not 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?
00:48:58Would 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
00:49:17Three years ago
00:49:18To strip collateral
00:49:19Through 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
00:49:25Who owe me favors from another life
00:49:34Why are you doing this?
00:49:36Because if I am going to stand
00:49:38In the part of your life
00:49:39I 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
00:50:41With paperwork
00:50:41I crossed because leaving you
00:50:43With what I did felt worse
00:50:44Than 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
00:50:53The way I thought
00:50:54You were surviving us
00:50:55While trying to get back here
00:50:57That changes what I'm allowed
00:50:59To ask from you
00:51:00You should not be asking
00:51:01For anything
00:51:03Then I won't
00:51:05But I can still tell you
00:51:06When I see you
00:51:07Caring too much
00:51:12That has never stopped
00:51:13Being true
00:51:14Does Emma know about me?
00:51:18No
00:51:21Will she?
00:51:22I hope not
00:51:30Then 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
00:51:48The first decisions were clean
00:51:51And you
00:51:53We were boxed in
00:51:56I am not asking you
00:51:57To trust the paper
00:51:58I almost signed
00:51:59I am asking you
00:52:00To look at the structure
00:52:01We have now
00:52:03This keeps one facility alive
00:52:06One facility becomes proof
00:52:10Proof becomes leverage
00:52:17We bought time
00:52:20Yes
00:52:22That means we are allowed
00:52:24One decent meal tonight
00:52:28Can it be fries?
00:52:30For 90 days of breathing
00:52:31Yes
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
00:52:58No public statement yet
00:53:00We need one more week of calm
00:53:08Sit down
00:53:11I am standing
00:53:14Barely
00:53:21I hate this part
00:53:25Which part?
00:53:29Needing you this much
00:53:31While still feeling
00:53:32Pieces missing
00:53:33You do not owe me
00:53:36Completed memory
00:53:37Before you lean on me
00:53:39That sounds practiced
00:53:47We can restart one line
00:53:49By Monday
00:53:50If the old supplier
00:53:51Releases inventory
00:53:52That still leaves
00:53:53Reputational risk
00:53:55And labor panic
00:53:57Can one line
00:53:58Hold the room?
00:54:00One line tells everyone
00:54:02We are not dead
00:54:03Then one line lives
00:54:11That means we won
00:54:13Right?
00:54:14It means we did not lose today
00:54:22You will never stay with me again
00:54:23Ethan
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
00:55:00Like they meant nothing
00:55:01Thank you
00:55:03Goodbye, Ethan
00:55:04Goodbye, Ethan
00:55:11Takin'
00:55:13Goodbye, Ethan
00:55:20Goodbye, Clint
00:55:20Goodbye, everyone
00:55:29Goodbye, Clint
00:55:31Goodbye, Clint
00:55:31I will never try
00:55:33Goodbye, Lee
00:55:34Goodbye, Clint
00:55:34Goodbye, Clintabulary
00:55:34Closure 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.
00:55:49How 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.
00:56:21If they are still hiding something, it is under a structure we cannot see yet.
00:56:28Ethan, let me look at you one more time.
00:56:30I'm leaving tonight.
00:56:32Not signing may kill them faster than signing.
00:56:35No.
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, one creditor backs off, two 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.
00:57:22Here 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 ring fast 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.
00:58:24If 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.
00:58:37Sable 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.
00:58:53This 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.
00:59:03Everybody out.
00:59:07You 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, but I made a mistake.
00:59:32What if Emma doesn't want me anymore?
00:59:34You did everything you could.
00:59:36She 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.
01:00:03You 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.
01:00:10I know how late I am.
01:00:12Grace.
01:00:13No.
01:00:14If you want me gone, tell me to my face those ten years meant nothing.
01:00:18They did not mean nothing.
01:00:21Then do not stand there and make me feel insane for still carrying them.
01:00:27I am not making you insane.
01:00:29I am trying not 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.
01:00:56Even if she never remembers me the 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 there 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 and not enough to keep you.
01:01:24Do you know what the worst part is?
01:01:29I still cannot hate you for telling me the truth.
01:01:33I was selfish.
01:01:35I was blind.
01:01:37I kept taking and taking and calling it normal.
01:01:42I still came here thinking maybe if I stood in front of you long enough, you would turn and choose
01:01:46me.
01:01:48Grace.
01:01:49I know.
01:01:50I know.
01:01:53I live with you for ten years.
01:01:58I know how you walk when you are tired.
01:02:01I know what you do when you are angry.
01:02:05I know the sound of your keys when you come in late.
01:02:08I 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.
01:02:47I 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.
01:03:11Goodbye, Grace.
01:03:21Do not move.
01:03:24What?
01:03:26I need to look at you while I still can.
01:03:52Grace?
01:03:54What happened?
01:03:56I'm fine.
01:03:57Did you find him?
01:04:00Yes.
01:04:01Did you bring him back?
01:04:03No.
01:04:05Then go home before your mind starts protecting you from what it cannot keep.
01:04:13What fades first?
01:04:15His voice.
01:04:17Then his face.
01:04:18And one day, you realize you cannot remember him at all.
01:04:23Maybe that is the punishment.
01:04:25Maybe it is also the mercy.
01:04:44Did you see him?
01:04:48Did you see him?
01:04:49Did 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.
01:05:34I will remember what matters.
01:05:40Emma if you came out here to say it you do not have to make it gentle say what that
01:05:46it is over I
01:05:48Don't have the right to stay after this I
01:05:52Should have protected it better because it was his and because it was yours
01:05:56You trusted me, and I still let it happen
01:06:08Are you done?
01:06:16You
01:06:16You are my man if you were wrong then I was wrong with you
01:06:26We are standing in a world where I woke up from surgery without half the map in my head
01:06:30And you came back to me from something. I still do not understand at this point
01:06:34I am not interested in pretending certainty is our only respectable option on a world this unknown
01:06:40We move together. I already lost my father's company. I am not losing you, too
01:06:47You do not know everything I woke up missing pieces of my life
01:06:50I watched my daughter know you before I did I watched you carry my company on no sleep and no
01:06:56room to fail
01:06:57So my standards for impossible are lower now. I
01:07:01I did not come out here to dismiss you from my life
01:07:07I came out here because I have been watching you since I woke up and you are the only person
01:07:15in that room
01:07:15You kept telling me the truth even when it cut your own throat
01:07:25After the crash I did not wake up here
01:07:32I woke up in another life
01:07:36There was a woman named grace and a little girl named Lily
01:07:40They thought I was there to stay I knew I was there on borrowed time
01:07:45Something called Atlas told me that if I completed the term there I could come back here and restore you
01:07:49and Ava
01:07:49That was the deal
01:07:51Ten years in their world for one chance to get my wife and daughter back in this one
01:07:56Grace needed a husband in public Lily needed a father in practice
01:08:00I became the person who handled everything school medicine meals night terrors logistics board dinners family emergencies
01:08:07Every day I told myself it was temporary every year. It stopped feeling temporary
01:08:14Near the end grace's old partner came back
01:08:17He framed me hurt Lily blamed me for things. He did himself
01:08:24Then he tied me to a chair and beat me because he knew I was in the way
01:08:28Atlas gave me the way back right before grace found me
01:08:33Grace was the woman who came here
01:08:40And all the time you were there. You knew you were trying to get back to us
01:08:44Every day I wrote the same birthday wish every year for my wife and daughter
01:08:50Safe happy and loved I came back for you. I came back for Ava
01:08:56If the deal opened again tomorrow, I 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
01:09:18Then stop standing out there like you're waiting for judgment
01:09:21You're in it
01:09:30Tell me something only my husband won't 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 and then stay up until one in the morning fixing them
01:09:51Again
01:09:52You steal fries and call it quality control
01:09:55When 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 you still wanted ugly kitchen mugs because expensive ones
01:10:02make coffee taste like meetings
01:10:04I don't remember saying that
01:10:05It 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
01:10:39I just didn't know what I was missing
01:10:45Look at me
01:10:48You are home
01:10:56Mom?
01:11:05Did I do something wrong?
01:11:07No, baby
01:11:11No
01:11:11Come here
01:11:14Are you fighting?
01:11:19No
01:11:20You looked serious
01:11:22We were
01:11:23That doesn't mean bad
01:11:29Are you staying tonight?
01:11:32Shhh
01:11:34If you want me to
01:11:35That's not what I asked
01:11:40Yes
01:11:42I'm staying
01:11:43For real?
01:11:44For real
01:11:50That's grandpa's watch
01:11:52It is
01:11:52Why do you have it?
01:11:55Because we're carrying this together
01:11:56Okay
01:11:59So that means you're on the same team now
01:12:02Yes
01:12:03Good
01:12:04Because when you're not, everything feels weird
01:12:10We're on the same team
01:12:13Then what happens to grandpa's company?
01:12:16It means we have work to do
01:12:19Did bad people take it?
01:12:21Yes
01:12:22Yes
01:12:22Are you gonna take it back?
01:12:24We're going to build again
01:12:26From scratch?
01:12:27Maybe not all the way from scratch
01:12:29Is that better or worse?
01:12:31Harder at the start
01:12:33Better at the end
01:12:34Okay
01:12:37You two better still be on the same team when I wake up
01:12:40We will
01:12:41Promise
01:12:43We should go
01:12:45Yeah
01:12:48Tomorrow
01:12:49No guilt
01:12:50No retreat
01:12:51No disappearing into shame
01:12:53Yes ma'am
01:12:55Good
