00:00:04And get the 2018 Reserve 10.
00:00:38Open the door!
00:00:40Open it! Help! Help!
00:00:44Open it! Open the door!
00:00:52Mom!
00:00:56Open it now!
00:01:11This one.
00:01:19Inside the house, you are my husband. To Lily, you are a father in practice.
00:01:24Outside the house, you support the image when I need it.
00:01:28Okay.
00:01:30There is no legal marriage, no wedding, no shared room, no rights to my money, my company, or my life.
00:01:40Okay.
00:01:45Ten years.
00:01:47He never said no. Not once.
00:01:51His hands are freezing.
00:01:54Grace, table one is waiting.
00:01:59Get him a blanket.
00:02:05What am I thinking?
00:02:07It couldn't be a concern.
00:02:15Breakfast is ready.
00:02:24Nice to see the place still runs.
00:02:30Dad!
00:02:31Dad!
00:02:35Peace, sweetheart.
00:02:41You're staying here, right?
00:02:45For a while.
00:02:49Which room is mine?
00:02:51Open the East Guest Unit.
00:02:52Have the closet cleared and the bathroom stocked.
00:02:55Okay.
00:02:56Sure.
00:02:57You can settle in after breakfast.
00:03:24You can settle in after breakfast.
00:03:26Grace says you've built systems for everything.
00:03:30Someone had to.
00:03:36I need a full transition binder by tonight.
00:03:40Medical, school, food, panic triggers, writing notes, sleep routine, therapy, emergency contacts, everything.
00:03:51That'll help.
00:03:56Ryan is stepping into more of the parenting load.
00:03:58This has to be smooth.
00:04:00Okay.
00:04:04Dad, can you do my bracelet?
00:04:08Sure, honey.
00:04:17The lash catches left.
00:04:20I've got it.
00:04:31Dad, are you coming to pick up today?
00:04:34Yeah.
00:04:44Mr. Cole.
00:04:46I'm here for Lily.
00:04:51Dad!
00:05:00Ten years, I learned every way to keep her safe.
00:05:03Lisa.
00:05:04None of it was ever mine to keep.
00:05:11Looks like they got the update through.
00:05:20Dad, you came!
00:05:23Dad, you came!
00:05:32A few more days, cross into another parallel world to bring my real daughter home.
00:05:47Can I have dessert first?
00:05:49Sure.
00:05:50One bite won't kill ya.
00:05:51No.
00:05:52Excuse me?
00:05:53If she has dessert first, she won't touch dinner.
00:05:55He's right.
00:05:56Dinner first.
00:05:58Fine.
00:06:18Grace said I'm taking her.
00:06:20Do not put her on Monarch.
00:06:23Why?
00:06:24Why?
00:06:24He spooks in weather changes and drifts left on landing.
00:06:28You've got a note for everything, huh?
00:06:31Dad!
00:06:32Are we doing jumps?
00:06:36No jumps today.
00:06:38We'll see how you feel.
00:06:43She's not supposed to school over lines today.
00:06:49You can't let her do this.
00:07:01One small vertical win won't hurt.
00:07:07Don't.
00:07:22That's sweet, anh-
00:07:37No!
00:07:38Oh, my God!
00:07:42No.
00:07:48No, no.
00:07:48Lily!
00:07:48Lily, Lily, Lily!
00:07:57Lily! Lily!
00:08:01Let me take her.
00:08:03No.
00:08:26I can't feel my hand.
00:08:28Stay with me.
00:08:32What the hell are you doing?
00:08:33I didn't listen to you, but you still came, Dad.
00:08:37I always come.
00:08:40Riding fall. Possible head injury. Child.
00:08:48Are you the child's guardian?
00:08:53Lily!
00:08:54Lily!
00:08:54I tried to stop her, Grace. She was so upset.
00:08:58Lily!
00:08:59I can't run on where I just steered. The horse was calm until he rushed the ring.
00:09:06That's a lie!
00:09:10We need a signature.
00:09:12Give it!
00:09:14To her father.
00:09:23History of panic. Current meds. Prior injuries. Allergies. Sedation concerns.
00:09:30She had a-
00:09:30Shut up. Let Ryan talk.
00:09:36I-
00:09:36We need accurate information.
00:09:40Answer the doctor.
00:09:42Penicillin, amoxicillin, and other beta-like biotics. She's also allergic to ibuprofen and aspirin.
00:09:47Hmm.
00:09:58Take him downstairs. I don't want him near her right now.
00:10:01You, go to the basement and reflect on your actions.
00:10:04You, go to the basement and reflect on your actions.
00:10:30Yes.
00:10:31Yes.
00:10:34Then tomorrow you don't get ice cream.
00:10:37Not even if you want it.
00:10:41Okay.
00:10:44That's the punishment.
00:10:51Dad.
00:10:55Dad.
00:10:56Come home.
00:11:10Ryan made a bad call. He knows that. He feels terrible.
00:11:14That helps.
00:11:17Lily won't eat for anyone else. She wants your grilled cheese and tomato soup.
00:11:21You know it wasn't my fault.
00:11:23I know what happened.
00:11:24And this is still what you're doing.
00:11:26There are bigger things going on than how you feel about Ryan.
00:11:32Three more days. Then my time in your world is over.
00:11:37What does that mean?
00:11:42Nothing you need to worry about.
00:11:44No.
00:11:45No.
00:11:50Hold on, my wife.
00:11:51Hold on, my little girl.
00:11:53I'll soon travel back to our world and bring you back to life.
00:11:57No.
00:11:57No.
00:11:58No.
00:12:01No.
00:12:02No.
00:12:09Did it hurt?
00:12:13Eat before it gets cold.
00:12:28You feel better?
00:12:29Yeah, but mom says I need calm.
00:12:37Check this out.
00:12:48Thanks, daddy. Besides mom, you're my favorite person.
00:13:00This isn't because they chose him.
00:13:04It's because in three days,
00:13:07the ten years end.
00:13:09And when it ends,
00:13:10I leave this world.
00:13:12I go back to my own timeline.
00:13:14To my wife and my daughter.
00:13:21What are you doing?
00:13:30Clearing out.
00:13:32Where's Lily's keepsake box?
00:13:34What?
00:13:35The white memory box.
00:13:37Her hospital bracelet.
00:13:38First curls.
00:13:39Ryan's cards.
00:13:40Baby photos.
00:13:40I didn't touch it.
00:13:47You've been clearing things out.
00:13:53Go get it back.
00:13:55I don't know.
00:13:56I don't care.
00:14:02I don't know.
00:14:03I don't know.
00:14:04I don't know.
00:14:05I'm sorry.
00:14:05No!
00:14:05No!
00:14:37I didn't find it.
00:14:39It was here.
00:14:54I shouldn't have assumed.
00:14:56About the box.
00:14:59Her therapist moved Thursday to Friday.
00:15:06The house was perfect.
00:15:08Just like before.
00:15:09But I could feel him pulling away.
00:15:12And I hated myself for wondering,
00:15:14since when was I so afraid of losing him?
00:15:20My last birthday in this world.
00:15:23Two more days.
00:15:24Then I go home.
00:15:36Make a wish, Dad.
00:15:38A real one.
00:15:40Write it down or it won't work.
00:15:49For my wife and daughter.
00:15:52Safe, happy, and loved.
00:16:01Mr. Cole, Miss Miller wants you downstairs to celebrate the birthday.

00:31:33what cost
00:31:35memory is the usual first price
00:31:40whose memory
00:31:41the one who crosses
00:31:43when
00:31:46not until you know what you are crossing for
00:31:51i'm crossing because i owe him the truth
00:31:54if you go
00:31:55you need to survive
00:31:57seeing a life
00:31:59that was never yours
00:32:07he vanished in front of me
00:32:09did you see a body

00:32:12no
00:32:13a normal exit

00:32:15you're not describing a disappearance
00:32:18you're describing a displacement event
00:32:23i didn't come here for nonsense
00:32:25then don't pay me with disbelief
00:32:33when did he appear in your life
00:32:35what records existed before that
00:32:37did he ever speak about time running out
00:32:40did he ever refer to another family
00:32:43did he leave any object that felt out of place
00:32:47he did mention about seven days
00:32:49did he say that more than once
00:32:50yes
00:32:51yes
00:32:52then he knew he was on borrowed time

00:33:44tell him i was wrong
00:33:48i will
00:33:51why this drawing

00:33:57it is an anchor then
00:34:02what happens if i cross
00:34:04you get one chance to arrive where his imprint is strongest now
00:34:12and after that
00:34:14if you return you will not come back untouched
00:34:18you may remember what you did
00:34:20you may remember what he meant

00:34:36you are not going to get him back
00:34:38i know
00:34:39then why are you going

00:38:07the surgery held
00:38:19your wife regained consciousness twice
00:38:21your daughter once
00:38:22memory response is inconsistent
00:38:24what does that mean
00:38:25they know their names
00:38:26they know who they are
00:38:27but personal recall is incomplete
00:38:36one minute
00:38:43emma can bear the limited decision making
00:38:45not for strain
00:38:46my father built this company with full control
00:38:48if i don't show up they'll split it before i can stand
00:38:50we have a liquidity breach in 48 hours unless the bridge facility closes
00:38:54who offered the bridge
00:38:56sable ridge
00:39:01they've been circling us for months

00:39:13mrs cole
00:39:15your blood pressure is already climbing
00:39:17then don't stand in the doorway like i'm a child
00:39:29ethan can just split himself cleanly into protect the woman protect the company hold
00:39:35the child together do all of it at once
00:39:42if we don't sign by tomorrow they call default language
00:39:45i need the truth
00:39:46the truth is we don't have enough information and we still may have to sign
00:40:17if we don't have enough information and we don't have enough information to help
00:40:21He looks thinner, more tired, but more alive.
00:40:51Did mom win?
00:40:53Not yet.
00:40:56We are working.
00:40:59That is his polite word for losing slowly.
00:41:02Then win faster.
00:41:16I need ten minutes.
00:41:32You should not be here.
00:41:33I wanted to know if you made it back alive.
00:41:36You know now. Go home.
00:41:39I do not have one here.
00:41:41That is not my problem.
00:41:44I am not here to take anything from them.
00:41:50Then stay away from them.
00:41:56Who is she?
00:41:57Someone who should leave.
00:42:09Ava.
00:42:14Breathe with me.
00:42:15Four in, four out.
00:42:28You've done this before.
00:42:32Yes.
00:42:34Many times?
00:42:35Yes.
00:42:39Stay until I sleep.
00:42:42I will.
00:42:49I told you to leave.
00:42:52I helped your CFO flag the shell entity connected to Sable Ridge.
00:42:56That was you?
00:42:57Yes.
00:42:57Why?
00:42:58Because I know what it looks like when you decide you can carry everything yourself.
00:43:01I know what happens after.
00:43:02Do not use what happened in your house to step into mine.
00:43:05I am not asking to step into anything.
00:43:07I am giving you something you need.
00:43:10You still should not be here.
00:43:12I know.
00:43:13I also know I was wrong about why you stayed in our world.
00:43:17I thought if someone carried us for ten years, it had to mean we were the center of his life.
00:43:22Good.
00:43:23Ethan!
00:43:25I am not asking you for anything.
00:43:31Then keep it that way.
00:43:40I want no filtered version.
00:43:42Give me the real exposure.
00:43:43If we do nothing, payroll fails first.
00:43:46If we move too fast, control shifts before we can map the hidden structures.
00:43:49Your father's old enemies are not buying debt, they are buying position.
00:43:53And the bridge paper.
00:43:56Predatory.
00:43:57Maybe survivable if we cut their teeth out before we sign.
00:44:06Then do that.
00:44:07Mrs. Cole, this meeting should have ended 15 minutes ago.
00:44:10Then come back in 15 more.
00:44:29Ethan.
00:44:31Stay.
00:44:32Okay.
00:44:33I'm here with you.
00:44:50We need execution tonight.
00:44:53Where is the affiliate control disclosure?
00:44:56Appendix 3.
00:45:03this is summary language i want beneficial ownership you do not have the time for a
00:45:09forensic exercise then give us enough time time is exactly what the market has decided
00:45:14not to offer maturity dates move fees cap asset ring fashion expands
00:45:20cross default language narrows or there is no signature tonight
00:45:30you did not answer my question earlier which one would you sign this
00:45:38only if doing nothing kills us faster
00:45:49you again
00:45:52sable ridge used a shell in zurich three years ago to strip collateral through a delayed
00:45:57disclosure chain i had someone pull the old arbitration notes who is someone some of them
00:46:02are people who owe me favors for another life
00:46:11why are you doing this because if i am going to stand in the part of your life i do
00:46:16not belong in
00:46:17it should at least help you survive it you are still standing in it i know do not come upstairs
00:46:23i won't
00:46:33where did this come from a source that wants sable hurt more than we do
00:46:46then i already like them
00:46:48then i already like them
00:47:16you crossed worlds to help me with paperwork
00:47:19i crossed because leaving you with what i did felt worse than the cost of coming
00:47:23i am not confused anymore that matters
00:47:26about what
00:47:27about the ten years
00:47:29you were not loving us the way i thought
00:47:32you were surviving us while trying to get back here
00:47:34that changes
00:47:35what i'm allowed to ask from you
00:47:37you should not be asking for anything
00:47:40then i won't
00:47:42but i can still tell you when i see you caring too much
00:47:49that has never stopped being true
00:47:52does emma know about me
00:47:53does emma know about me
00:47:55no
00:47:58will she
00:48:00i hope not
00:48:07then i stay out of her way
00:48:19i heard you nearly sold the company to wolves
00:48:21we nearly died in surgery too
00:48:24recovery does not mean the first decisions were clean
00:48:28and you
00:48:31we were boxed in
00:48:33i am not asking you to trust the paper i almost signed
00:48:36i am asking you to look at the structure we have now
00:48:40this keeps one facility alive
00:48:44one facility becomes proof
00:48:47proof becomes leverage
00:48:54we bought time
00:48:57yes
00:49:00that means we are allowed one decent meal tonight
00:49:05can it be fries
00:49:06for 90 days of breathing
00:49:08yes
00:49:24okay
00:49:25okay
00:49:26you know where everything is already
00:49:29i put it there
00:49:31that sounds like dad
00:49:34hello
00:49:35no public statement yet
00:49:37we need one more week of calm
00:49:45sit down
00:49:48i am standing
00:49:51barely
00:49:59i hate this part
00:50:02which part
00:50:07meeting you this much while still feeling pieces missing
00:50:11you do not
00:50:12you do not owe me
00:50:13completed memory
00:50:15before you lean on me
00:50:17that sounds practiced
00:50:25we can restart one line by monday if the old supplier releases inventory
00:50:29that still leaves reputational risk and labor panic
00:50:35can one line hold the room
00:50:38can one line hold the room
00:50:38one line tells everyone we are not dead
00:50:40one line tells everyone we are not dead
00:50:41then one line lives
00:50:49that means we won right
00:50:52it means we did not lose today
00:50:59you will never stay with me again ethan
00:51:17you will never stay with me again ethan
00:51:18this is the last time
00:51:19i am leaving soon
00:51:23lily made it
00:51:24when she was seven
00:51:25she found it after you were gone
00:51:28she told me not to make you forgive us
00:51:30if you did not want to
00:51:32i came here to give you this
00:51:33and to say one thing clearly
00:51:34the ten years you carried in our house
00:51:36should not disappear like they meant nothing
00:51:39thank you
00:51:40goodbye ethan
00:52:09the date of related party disclosure does not match the earlier terms and conditions list
00:52:18they staged the exposure in layers
00:52:20the first set got us to sign
00:52:22the second set is meant to close around whatever we still have left
00:52:26how much time
00:52:27not much
00:52:29if we move loudly now we show them where we are weak
00:52:35then we move quietly
00:52:37if they think we are stabilizing
00:52:39they will relax around the edges
00:52:42that is where we pull proof
00:52:46this is the cleanest version of a dirty option we can force by morning
00:52:49do you still hate it
00:52:50yes
00:52:51do we have better
00:52:53i narrowed cross default language
00:52:55i pushed disclosures
00:52:57i boxed off what i could
00:52:58if they are still hiding something
00:53:00it is under a structure we cannot see yet
00:53:05ethan
00:53:05let me look at you one more time
00:53:07i'm leaving tonight
00:53:09not signing may kill them faster than signing
00:53:12no
00:53:13ethan
00:53:19if this goes wrong
00:53:20it goes wrong with both our names on it
00:53:22no
00:53:30cash pressure eases
00:53:31one creditor backs off
00:53:33two board threats go quiet
00:53:39tell me this one holds
00:53:41it bought us room
00:53:45did we win?
00:53:47we survived the morning
00:53:57that would have meant nothing to me in my world
00:53:59here it says everything
00:54:04if we get another week
00:54:05i can rebuild supplier trust
00:54:09if we get another week i can map the affiliates deeper
00:54:12then maybe we really can hold this
00:54:19sable triggered the affiliate lock
00:54:21the board just voted to recognize the transfer
00:54:26say it clearly
00:54:27we lost control of the company
00:54:33i signed the term sheet this is on me
00:54:35you signed what was in front of you
00:54:37i should have seen more
00:54:39they hid more
00:54:40i still signed it
00:54:44everybody out
00:54:48you too
00:54:52okay
00:54:52okay
00:55:04what is it?
00:55:05they moved through a controlled affiliate we were not shown
00:55:07the asset ring fast is being pierced through an internal timing trigger
00:55:11christ
00:55:13this was held back
00:55:18can we stop it?
00:55:22emma
00:55:29answer me
00:55:32maybe part of it not all of it
00:55:40hello?

00:56:08grace
00:56:09no
00:56:10if you want me gone
00:56:12tell me to my face those ten years meant nothing
00:56:14they did not mean nothing
00:56:18then do not stand there and make me feel insane for still carrying them
00:56:23i am not making you insane
00:56:25i am trying
00:56:27not to making this worse
00:56:31you do not get to decide that alone
00:56:41i know what happened
00:56:46then you know i should have done better
00:56:48i was so close to happiness but i made a mistake
00:56:51what if emma doesn't want me anymore
00:56:53you did everything you could
00:56:54she won't hold a grudge against you
00:57:03it was not enough
00:57:05that matters to me
00:57:07you should not be here
00:57:08i did not cross worlds to leave that unsaid
00:57:11you should go
00:57:12not before you hear me
00:57:20you matter to me
00:57:21what happened in your house mattered
00:57:25what happened to lily mattered
00:57:27what happened to me there mattered
00:57:29but emma is my wife
00:57:31ava is my daughter
00:57:32even if she never remembers me the way she used to i stay
00:57:35i will not betray them
00:57:37you
00:57:38so that is the truth
00:57:39yes
00:57:42then look at me and say there is nothing left of us in you
00:57:48there is something
00:57:50there will always be something
00:57:53that is enough to ruin me and not enough to keep you
00:58:02do you know what the worst part is
00:58:06i still cannot hate you for telling me the truth
00:58:11i was selfish
00:58:12i was blind
00:58:14i kept taking and taking and calling it normal
00:58:19i still came here thinking maybe if i stood in front of you long enough you would turn and choose
00:58:24me
00:58:25grace
00:58:26i know
00:58:27i live with you for ten years
00:58:35i know how you walk when you are tired
00:58:38i know what you do when you are angry
00:58:42i know the sound of your keys when you come in late
00:58:45i know what silence means when it comes from you
00:58:48you do not get to tell me i imagined all of that
00:58:55i am not saying you imagined it
00:58:57i am not saying you imagined it
00:58:58then say what i was to you
00:59:02you were my family there

00:59:53yes
00:59:53did you bring him back?
00:59:57no
00:59:57then go home before your mind starts protecting you from what it cannot keep
01:00:06what fades first?
01:00:08his voice
01:00:09then his face
01:00:11and one day
01:00:12you realize you cannot remember him at all
01:00:16maybe that is the punishment
01:00:17maybe it is also the mercy
01:00:30i am not going to ask you to come with me
01:00:36i am not going to ask you to choose me
01:00:40i want one thing
01:00:42do not forget me
01:00:44i will not
01:00:45do not let those ten years disappear like they were a job you survived
01:00:58i won't erase them
01:01:03goodbye Ethan
01:01:09goodbye grace
01:01:22did you see him?
01:01:25yes
01:01:26did he look happy?
01:01:29he was where he belonged
01:01:33did he say anything?
01:01:39i said enough
01:01:42you are forgetting him
01:01:45will you forget him before i do?
01:01:50i will remember what matters
01:02:05you should be resting
01:02:07i was
01:02:10then i noticed my husband disappeared into a glass box to decide my life for me
01:02:17Emma
01:02:18Emma
01:02:18if you came out here to say it you do not have to make it gentle
01:02:21say what?
01:02:23that it is over
01:02:25i don't have the right to stay after this
01:02:28i should have protected it better because it was his and because it was yours
01:02:33you trusted me and i still let it happen
01:02:45are you done?
01:02:53i woke up in another life
01:02:57there was a woman named grace and a little girl named lily
01:03:01they thought i was there to stay
01:03:02i knew i was there on borrowed time
01:03:06something called atlas told me that if i completed the term there i could come back here and restore you
01:03:10and Ava
01:03:10that was the deal
01:03:12ten years in their world for one chance to get my wife and daughter back in this one
01:03:17grace needed a husband in public lily needed a father in practice
01:03:21i became the person who handled everything
01:03:23school, medicine, meals, night terrors, logistics, board dinners, family emergencies
01:03:28everyday i told myself it was temporary
01:03:31every year it stopped feeling temporary
01:03:35near the end grace's old partner came back
01:03:38he framed me
01:03:39hurt lily
01:03:40blamed me for things he did himself
01:03:45then he tied me to a chair and beat me because he knew i was in the way
01:03:49atlas gave me the way back right before grace found me
01:03:54grace was the woman who came here
01:03:59Emma
01:04:02you are my man
01:04:05if you were wrong then i was wrong with you
01:04:09Emma
01:04:10we are standing in a world where i woke up from surgery without half the map in my head
01:04:14and you came back to me from something i still do not understand
01:04:18at this point i am not interested in pretending certainty is our only respectable option
01:04:22on a world this unknown
01:04:24we move together
01:04:26i already lost my father's company
01:04:28i am not losing you too
01:04:31you do not know everything
01:04:33i woke up missing pieces of my life
01:04:35i watched my daughter know you before i did
01:04:37i watched you carry my company on no sleep and no room to fail
01:04:42my standards for impossible are lower now
01:04:45i did not come out here to dismiss you from my life
01:04:52i came out here because
01:04:55i have been watching you since i woke up
01:04:57and you are the only person in that room who kept telling me the truth
01:05:01even when it cut your own throat
01:05:09after the crash
01:05:11i did not wake up here
01:05:16tell me something only my husband would know
01:05:20you hate the smell of hospital flowers
01:05:25you say they make sick rooms for more like sick rooms
01:05:28you sleep with one foot outside the blanket
01:05:30you read bad news twice before you say it out loud
01:05:33you always pretend ava's school projects are easy and then stay up until one in the morning fixing them
01:05:38again
01:05:39you steal fries and call it quality control
01:05:41when you are annoyed you always start turning your cup in your hands
01:05:44on our second anniversary you said if we ever got rich you still wanted ugly kitchen mugs
01:05:48because expensive ones make coffee taste like meetings
01:05:50i don't remember saying that
01:05:52you did
01:05:55it sounds like me
01:05:56it is you
01:06:01say one more
01:06:07and all the time you were there you knew you were trying to get back to us

01:11:40The revised pledge packet.
01:11:43Your speaking cards.
01:11:45The speaking cards, the seating chart.
01:11:47You're late.
01:11:52Grace, the reserve service for table one is missing.
01:11:56Which one?
01:11:56The 2018 Reserve Osestra.
01:11:59That was the course I agreed to.
01:12:04You know where everything is.
01:12:07Go to the cold room and get the 2018 Reserve tin.
01:12:15To the freezer.

01:12:43I've traveled a long way to get here.
01:12:46To find something I lost a long time ago.
01:12:49A part of myself I thought was gone forever.
01:12:52I have to go in there.
01:12:54I have to face the truth.
01:12:56I will ever be king for daddy.
01:12:57This is the final night.
01:12:57I need to pick aomed forward.
