00:00The sudden vertigo, I'd been writing off as typical pregnancy fatigue.
00:04Across the hall, my husband's hand was posted firmly on another woman's waist,
00:09steering her through the clinic.
00:10The betrayal didn't just break me, it rewired me.
00:18Dad?
00:20Remember what you told me? I'm doing it.
00:22I'm taking the baby overseas, and the baby's going to have my last name.
00:26About time you woke up.
00:27The Millers walk around like they're untouchable because they own the sky,
00:30but we're not some family begging for scraps.
00:33If you're miserable over there, you leave.
00:35You hear me? I will support you being a single mom by choice.
00:39You're right. Honey, if you're here with me, she's going to be upset.
00:42She won't know.
00:43She's pregnant too. Aren't you worried she'll...
00:45I don't know what's gotten into her lately, maybe hormones, but she's been acting up.
00:49If she starts something and stresses you out, that's on her.
00:51If she runs into us, she's so far along, I'm scared she might...
00:54What's there to be scared of?
00:56I'm supposed to be here. That baby's mine too.
00:58If she wants to pop off, I'll file.
00:59Since she returned, one text from her and he'd walk out mid-speetens like I was nothing.
01:03He called me jealous and unreasonable.
01:05Eight months pregnant.
01:07And he'd never once come with me to an appointment.
01:09Not one scan.
01:11Before I'd left for the hospital, he'd told me he had work stuff,
01:15simulator training, or a mandatory briefing.
01:18Work?
01:19Mrs. Miller, you're so lucky.
01:21Your husband comes to every appointment.
01:22Not many men are like that.
01:23I wasn't just being betrayed.
01:26I was being replaced.
01:33You can come out now.
01:34You've been standing there forever.
01:36What?
01:37Are you still not satisfied with the show?
01:38So you're really gonna keep pretending?
01:40Pretending you're Mrs. Miller?
01:42Even though you know damn well Elijah doesn't love you?
01:46That's bold.
01:47You knew he was married and still slid right into his schedule.
01:50Honey, I knew Elijah long before you did.
01:52If I hadn't gone overseas, you wouldn't have gotten within ten feet of his ring.
01:56But I'm back now and I'm carrying his child.
01:59It's time you hand over what was mine.
02:02Oh my god.
02:05Cancer?
02:06Seriously?
02:07So tell me, are you even gonna make it long enough to have that baby?
02:11Or are you and your little bastard both going down together?
02:19I wasn't trying to hide anything.
02:21I swear.
02:23I'm pregnant.
02:24Please don't hurt me.
02:29What the hell is wrong with you?
02:31Do you have any idea she's pregnant?
02:34Elijah, don't fight with her because of me.
02:37You're wrong.
02:38Apologize.
02:41Apologize?
02:42Elijah, do you even know what this is?
02:44Enough.
02:44I don't care what that is.
02:47Today you were cruel.
02:48How can you be so heartless to another pregnant woman?
02:53I'm not apologizing.
02:55You're the ones who should be apologizing.
02:57Both of you.
03:03Elijah, my belly hurts.
03:05But she matters more.
03:07You should go after her, honey.
03:08Forget her.
03:10She's eight months pregnant and still throwing tantrums.
03:12She's not going anywhere.
03:14I'll smooth it over later.
03:28Scarlet's not feeling well.
03:30You pushed her earlier.
03:32If she's sick, she should be in the hospital.
03:34Or did our living room suddenly become an ER?
03:37Watch your mouth.
03:39I'm cleaning up your mess.
03:42Scarlet is staying here.
03:46Don't get it twisted.
03:47I'm just here to rest and keep the baby safe.
03:51That's all.
03:51Elijah, this is our home.
03:53I'm not letting her move in.
03:58Enough.
03:58You're pregnant too.
03:59How do you have zero compassion?
04:01You started this.
04:03I need to keep an eye on her.
04:04If you can't handle her being here, then you can be the one to leave.
04:09Fine.
04:12I'll go.
04:16Honey, don't fight with her because of me.
04:18She's so upset she even took down your wedding photo.
04:21Ignore her.
04:22She loves drama.
04:24Once she realizes it doesn't work on me, she'll behave.
04:52Our little aviator deserves the best.
04:55Our child is going to have a legacy of excellence
05:06Get out
05:11What's wrong with you?
05:13You're giving her this room?
05:16Scarlet said she likes it
05:18Let her stay in here for now, what's the big deal?
05:24Enough
05:28The past couple of days, you've been a disappointment
05:31If you keep acting like this, I'll seriously reconsider whether this marriage should even exist
05:36You don't want our kid growing up without a father, do you?
05:43Don't be scared
05:46We don't need this room
05:49Mom's going to give you better
05:52Scarlet had sent voice messages
05:53I pressed play, and Elisha's voice filled the room
05:56He hadn't been learning for me
05:58I wasn't his partner
05:59I was the training ground
06:00My baby was the trial run
06:02It's okay, I'm leaving soon and I won't be anyone's practice wife
06:12Honey, I heard the Miller family legacy pendant is lucky
06:15The baby's been keeping me up and I'm so exhausted
06:18Can I wear it for a while?
06:20Just until he settles down?
06:24There will never be another
06:27This is the Millen promise
06:30You're my wife
06:32No one else wears this
06:36Of course, honey
06:37I'll get it for you
06:38Wear it as long as you need
06:40And we'll talk after the baby's born
06:44You heard that?
06:48She hasn't been sleeping
06:49And she's pregnant
06:50She needs support
06:51Just let her wear the pendant for a while, okay?
06:56She can have it
06:59But you're going to do one thing for me
07:02Thank you
07:04Nobody's taking your place
07:05You're still my...
07:06Don't get excited
07:07I don't care if she ever gives it back
07:15Just sign this
07:17Come on
07:18You don't have to make this so dramatic
07:20See?
07:21Happy now?
07:22If you want to shop, buy whatever you want
07:24I'll pay
07:24I know I've neglected you
07:26We'll fix it
07:31After the baby's born
07:32It goes back to you
07:33She can wear it as long as she wants
07:38Oh my god, you got it
07:40Honey, you got it so easy
07:52Okay, okay
07:57I'm coming over right now, honey
07:59Don't cry
08:00When you cry, it messes me up
08:09Hey
08:11I've got you
08:13I'm here
08:16Elijah
08:17I can't sleep without you
08:20Every time I close my eyes, I see it
08:22The engagement ending
08:24Everyone staring
08:25Me being tossed aside like I didn't matter
08:27I wake up shaking, honey
08:29I'm scared
08:31It's okay, I'll protect you
08:34I'm not going back to that room tonight
08:36I'm staying with you, alright?
08:38I'm right here
08:39But I keep taking you away from her
08:42If she finds out, she's gonna freak out
08:45And the baby's been restless
08:48When you're here, he calms down
08:50You're the only thing that works
08:51Don't worry about her
08:53Even if she finds out, we've got nothing to feel guilty about
08:56She can take care of herself
08:57Elijah, the doctor said the baby's stable now
09:00Four months
09:01We're past the scary part
09:04Tonight, let me take care of you, okay?
09:23Scarlett didn't feel great this morning
09:24So I made her some soup
09:26Just to help her stomach
09:28What do you think you're doing?
09:31Seriously?
09:31I cook her soup and you're gonna make a scene?
09:34You're that petty now?
09:37It's just soup?
09:38Wanna check your neck in a mirror
09:40Before you try to sell me that line, Captain?
09:45Mosquitoes
09:45There were mosquitoes in the room last night
09:48That's all it is
09:51Enough!
09:51I said mosquito!
09:53Stop acting jealous and crazy
09:55Elijah
09:57I have fault too
10:00Let me apologize to her
10:02Don't be mad
10:03You can have this
10:06Back off
10:07I'll let you drink it
10:10Elijah!
10:11It burns!
10:12Hey, hey
10:12I've got you
10:13Didn't I tell you to put yourself in someone else's shoes?
10:18You're the one throwing a tantrum
10:20Scarlett was trying to be kind
10:22And you attacked her
10:23Elijah, stop!
10:25No
10:25You're going to learn
10:30That's a warning
10:31Hurt her again and you'll wish you hadn't
10:40Are you
10:42Scared of me?
10:43Elijah
10:44The baby
10:45Don't use the baby to manipulate me
10:47You just hurt Scarlett's
10:49I haven't forgiven you
10:50Right now you and that kid together still don't matter as much as her
11:01Get OB down here
11:02She's crashing
11:04Possible placereal abruption
11:05We need a doctor now
11:08Honey, we need to call your husband
11:10We need consent form signed
11:17Do you have anyone else?
11:20I
11:20I'll sign
11:23Why are we waiting?
11:25A Miller VIP came in
11:26His pregnant girlfriend has a minor burn
11:29He pulled the on-call team
11:30Even some of our OB staff were redirected
11:35Stay with me
11:36We need help here!
11:40We're losing her!
11:41Get in here now!
11:43Get in here now!
11:50My baby
11:52Where's my baby?
11:55Where's my baby?
12:02No one would ever treat us as disposable again
12:04Two weeks later
12:06I'd filed the paperwork and signed the exit forms
12:09On a nearby screen
12:11A headline flashed about Elijah Miller going to war for his pregnant lover
12:15I boarded my flight to London without looking back
12:17The captain thought he owned the sky
12:20But I had already flown beyond his reach
12:28Elijah
12:29Honey, it hurts
12:31It really hurts
12:35They just treated you
12:37How are you still in pain?
12:38My stomach is cramping
12:40What if something happens to the baby?
12:43I was just trying to apologize to her
12:45But she totally lost it
12:46I spoiled her
12:48That's the problem
12:51I already handled her
12:53Honey
12:55I think she knows about us
12:57She's been texting me
12:59Threatening me
13:01Threatening you how?
13:02She said she's going to kill my baby
13:05No, she gets emotional
13:07But she isn't that kind of person
13:08I wish I was wrong
13:16I won't let her touch you
13:19Or the baby
13:24A month passed
13:25The silence grew from a minor annoyance into a deafening roar
13:29He remembered her weak call for help again
13:32Printing his teeth
13:33Elijah went to the police station
13:36He gave them my name and my photo
13:39Mr. Miller
13:40Our system shows your marriage to Ms. Langfield was legally dissolved a month ago
13:45What did you just say?
13:47You and Ms. Langston are divorced
13:50You don't have the standing to request her location
13:52And we can't release her information to you
13:56No
13:58That's not possible
13:59I never divorced
14:03This is the documentation
14:07He was the captain
14:08The one in charge
14:09Yet he had signed away the only thing that mattered
14:12Without even reading the manifest
14:14I was gone
14:15And for the first time in his life
14:16Elijah was flying blind
14:19What did you just say?
14:20The marriage is dissolved, Elijah
14:23Amelia Langfield isn't your wife anymore
14:24By the letter of the law
14:26You're a stranger to her medical records and her location
14:30He had signed those papers in the hallway weeks ago
14:33But he hadn't read them
14:34He had treated the document like a minor maintenance write-up
14:40He had assumed I was throwing a tantrum
14:42A brief bit of turbulence he could smooth over with his usual quiet authority
14:45He never thought I would actually steer the plane into the ground
14:53The air was cloying with Scarlet's perfume
14:55The crib was buried under luxury shopping bags and silk pregnancy pillows
15:00The space he had imagined for his child had been converted into a warehouse for Scarlet's vanity
15:12What is this?
15:15Elijah
15:15How did you and Amelia get divorced?
15:19For the first time, Elijah trained to spot the smallest anomaly in a cockpit
15:23Saw the greed beneath the grace
15:25The spell didn't break, but it cracked
15:29Revealing the cold reality of the woman he had sacrificed his wife to protect
15:37The police must have made a clerical error
15:40Amelia and I didn't divorce
15:42I wouldn't allow it
15:49Well
15:50If the papers are real, why don't we just make it official?
15:54Let's go down to the courthouse and get married, honey
15:58What did you just say?
16:00I'm just
16:01I just told you! I'm not divorced!
16:04Why are you jumping to this?
16:06My wife is missing and you're talking about a courthouse?
16:14Elijah
16:15I wasn't trying to steal anything
16:18I'm thinking about our baby
16:20I can't let him be born into a mess
16:22It hurts
16:25Please take me to the hospital
16:28I'm begging you
16:29He hadn't planned to investigate her
16:31For months he had treated Scarlet as a sacred debt
16:33His savior from the fire years ago
16:36But her reaction to the divorce papers had been too eager
16:38Too opportunistic
16:39The selfless woman who supposedly only wanted security for her child
16:42Was starting to look like a strategist who was eyeing the captain's chair
16:48Logan
16:50I want a full report on Scarlet
16:52Every flight she's taken
16:54Every man she's seen
16:54Every cent she's spent
16:55And pull the surveillance tapes
16:58My house
16:59The clinic
17:00The street cameras
17:01I want to see everything I missed while I was in the clouds
17:05I need everything
17:14What the hell are you doing?
17:16I can't let you think I'm that kind of woman
17:20But I can't accept my child being treated like a dirty secret either
17:24I know I ruined your marriage
17:28I'm the bad guy, right?
17:31Fine
17:32I'll take the baby and disappear
17:35You can go find Amelia with a clear conscience
17:38Scarlet, stop
17:41Don't do this
17:42Then what am I supposed to do?
17:44Let my baby be born without a legal father?
17:48If that's his future, I'd rather leave now
17:50That day in the fire
17:53I don't regret saving you, honey
17:55I don't
17:56But I can't let our baby suffer
17:58Okay, okay
17:59If you come down, I'll handle it
18:02I'll make sure the baby won't be treated like that
18:04When I find Amelia, we can work something out
18:07But you're already divorced, aren't you?
18:09The baby's due in a few months
18:11Is he just supposed to be born into nothing?
18:14Scarlet!
18:14Say it clearly
18:15I'll do it
18:16I'll marry you
18:20For the first time in months
18:22I could breathe without the static of Elijah's commands ringing in my ear
18:29Easy, sweetheart
18:30You've got a baby
18:32Don't squeeze him
18:42I'm here
18:46You're home
18:51I told you Elijah would never give you a peaceful life
18:54Elijah
18:55That man doesn't know how to be happy unless he's making someone else miserable
19:01You brought the baby back
19:02And you did the right thing
19:05From now on, he's a Langford
19:08We don't need Miller money
19:10We have our own
19:14When the time is right, I'll host a gala
19:17I'll announce the Langford air
19:19Loudly
19:20And don't get me started on that fire
19:23You saved him, and he didn't even thank you when he woke up
19:25The second I saw that, I knew he was the type to take until there was nothing left
19:29Those scars on your back, your father and I
19:32We wanted to tear the world apart when we saw them
19:34Elijah had built a life on a lie about a fire
19:37While the woman who actually pulled him out was fighting a battle he had no right to witness
19:42The captain thought he had grounded me
19:44But I was finally learning how to fly on my own terms
19:57Honey, I'm starving
19:59The baby's been kicking like crazy
20:01Make me that creamy mushroom soup you did last time, okay?
20:06Uh, hello?
20:09Why are you just standing there?
20:12Don't tell me you got what you wanted and now I'm suddenly annoying?
20:16Seriously, Elijah?
20:18He remembered why he'd made that soup in the first place
20:20Scarlet had claimed the baby needed better nutrition
20:22And he played the doting man in the kitchen
20:24And me, his actual wife, had never once been offered a bowl of it
20:29I'm exhausted
20:31Not tonight
20:32I'll make it tomorrow
20:33So you don't care anymore?
20:35That's what this is?
20:37You're already tired of me and the baby
20:39And I'm only four months along
20:41I should have jumped at the hospital
20:42I should have just done it
20:50Enough!
20:51Come down
20:52I'll make the soup
20:56Okay?
20:57Okay?
21:00Okay?
21:07Honey, feed me like you did before
21:13Honey?
21:27Babe, get over here
21:28You said you wanted to see me in it
21:31Do I look okay?
21:34It was smooth
21:35It was perfect
21:38Where are the scars?
21:40If Scarlet wasn't the one who had pulled me out of that fire
21:43Then who was?
21:56Where are you going, honey?
21:58What's so secret you can't say it in front of me?
22:00It's just work, honey
22:01You're pregnant
22:02I'm not going to stress you out with boring aviation business stuff
22:08Watch TV
22:09If you get bored, go shopping
22:11Don't pinch pennies
22:15Aw, thanks, hubby
22:29Show me
22:33Show me the wreckage I've caused
23:02You're pregnant
23:07Emilia.
23:12Elijah?
23:14I'm studying other drabians.
23:16What happened? Where are you taking him?
23:49So what if you know you're not getting rid of me that easily?
24:10Later, he learned a detail.
24:12To speed up the divorce proceedings, I pawned a Yadite pendant, not the one he'd given me, from the Miller
24:16family.
24:17This one belonged to the Langfords.
24:19It was the heirloom I'd worn close to my heart, pressed tight against my skin than any promise he'd ever
24:23made.
24:23I took it off my neck and traded for a clean set of legal papers.
24:27All just to get away from him as fast as I could.
24:30Find Emilia.
24:32Now, I don't care what it costs.
24:34Use every asset we have.
24:36Bring her back.
24:38She has cancer.
24:41And she has my child.
24:45I need her back.
24:46And ground Scarlet, put her somewhere she can't run her mouth, can't disappear, can't play the victim.
24:53Whatever she says, she doesn't leave the premises.
24:58What are you looking at? Move!
25:07Mr. Miller, there's a problem.
25:11Don't waste my time, Logan.
25:14Scarlet left a note. She's gone.
25:15Her closet's empty.
25:17Bags, clothes, jewelry.
25:20She thinks she can run.
25:21She can try.
25:22She won't make it to another gate.
25:24Forget her for now, you find Emilia.
25:26Three days.
25:26Use every Miller Group resource, every private investigator, every flight manifest in the system.
25:31And if you don't find her, you're not going to like the consequences.
25:56Elijah, honey. Thank God you're here. He broke in. He attacked me.
26:03I was so scared. I didn't know what to do.
26:11Elijah, I'm carrying your baby. Why would I ever...
26:17Wow, Scarlet. So you've been lying about more than one thing.
26:23Sir, please. She came on to me. I didn't know who she was. I can pay you whatever you want.
26:30Elijah, honey, you have to listen to me. Benjamin Hayes, he's a stalker. He's been following me since I left
26:37the estate.
26:37I... I was so scared for the baby that I didn't know who else to turn to.
26:43The baby, Scarlet?
26:48You've been playing a very dangerous game with my flight plan.
26:51You used the fire, the lie about saving my life to hijack my marriage.
26:56You used a pregnancy that isn't mine to ground my wife.
27:00And you thought I'd never check the black box.
27:07It was her idea, Captain. She said you were a cash cow.
27:11That you were so blinded by gratitude that you'd never look closely at the manifest.
27:15I just wanted the payout.
27:20Ground them.
27:22I want their professional reputations incinerated.
27:25Every airline, every charter service, every high-end hospitality group in the country is to receive a copy of this
27:30file.
27:30They are to be blacklisted from every restricted zone and lounge from here to London.
27:33Elijah, no! You can't do this! I saved you! Without me, you'd be ash!
27:40If you don't start talking, we are going to have a very different kind of conversation.
27:45You don't get to walk away clean from this, Scarlet.
27:48Everything you did to Amelia, I am going to pay it back with interest.
27:52I handle my flight logs, and I handle my debts.
27:56You are a liability that is about to be decommissioned.
27:59If she keeps her mouth shut, she is no longer my concern.
28:03Handle it. I don't care about the optics.
28:07Don't touch me! Get your hands off me!
28:10Fine! Fine! I'll talk! Just make them stop!
28:14I only know it was a girl with the last name Langford.
28:18She was torn up from saving you. Her back was covered in burns.
28:22When you were brought into the clinic, she was being treated in the room right next to you.
28:26I wasn't trying to do all this.
28:29You asked me if I saved you. I just... I nodded.
28:33You're the one who believed it, Elijah.
28:36Find the patient who was in the room next to mine after the crash.
28:40Match the age. Match the name.
28:43That's the biggest lie of all, isn't it?
28:45I saw the medical record, Scarlet.
28:47I saw the lack of scar tissue on your back at the boutique.
28:50My wife, Amelia Langfield, she's the one who carries the burns.
28:55She's the one who pulled me out while you were busy running for the exits.
28:58You're not a savior.
29:00You're just a stowaway who stayed too long.
29:03Get them out of my sight.
29:07I hate you, Elijah!
29:10You're never gonna find Amelia, and even if you do do, she'll never come back to you.
29:15Why would she?
29:16You pulled every doctor in that hospital to help me.
29:19Me!
29:19Your baby probably died because you were too busy worrying about my minor burn.
29:24You pushed her down. You cheated on her. You shredded her life.
29:27She has cancer, Elijah.
29:29Too late. You already hit the ground.
29:31She talked. So drag her out anyway.
29:36Ah!
29:38I meant what I said about the interest.
29:45Elijah, please. I'm sorry. I really am.
29:48Don't do this to me. We were together.
29:50You can't let them treat me like this.
29:53Amelia is sick. She won't live long.
29:56Keep me. I'll be whatever you want. I'll be your dog.
30:00I'll give you as many kids as you want.
30:03I'll even serve her. I'll be her nurse, her maid, anything.
30:06Just don't ground me like this, please.
30:10Get her out.
30:11Do I have to teach you how to do your jobs?
30:13Clear the deck.
30:23When they're done with her, take him, too.
30:27He thought he could scam a miller.
30:31He can pay the price in full.
30:33Please, I can pay.
30:34I can give you information.
30:36I'll disappear.
30:37You'll never see me again.
30:46Tell me you have a location for Amelia.
30:48Tell Almi the flight is clear.
30:49She's in London, sir.
30:50But there's a problem.
30:50Her father, Thomas Langfield, has placed the entire head under a no-fly zone.
30:53No one gets in, especially not you.
30:54Prepare the private jet.
30:55We're going to London.
30:56I'm taking back my command.
31:02She's recovering from the surgery, Miller.
31:04I just need to see her, Thomas.
31:05You had your chance to be her captain.
31:07I know the truth now.
31:08I know she saved me.
31:09I know about the cancer.
31:11You shredded her medical reports.
31:12You chose a mistress over your pregnant wife while she was bleeding on your kitchen floor.
31:15There is no making it right.
31:17The lawsuit Elijah had initiated wasn't just about the money.
31:20It was about professional annihilation.
31:21Scarlett was no longer a glamorous socialette.
31:23She was a convicted fraudist with 20 years of grounding ahead of her in a federal facility.
31:41Mom, I have cancer.
31:51Why didn't you tell us sooner?
31:53What did he do to you?
31:55What did Elijah Miller do to my daughter?
31:58I was scared you'd hate me for choosing him.
32:02I stayed too long.
32:04I thought I could handle the descent on my own.
32:23You stubborn girl.
32:25Why did you carry this manifest alone?
32:30It's mid-stage.
32:32Treatable, but the procedure is delicate.
32:36The specialist we need, Julian Hill, is currently in France.
32:40His schedule is locked.
32:41Name the price.
32:43I'll move the entire Langford liquid acid pool if I have to.
32:47My daughter is not going down.
32:49Mr. Lang, I know Julia.
32:51I can reach him.
32:52Consider the frequency open.
32:54Miles moved with a quiet, lethal efficiency Elijahs had never possessed.
32:59Within days, he cleared the regulatory hurdles and secured a specialist.
33:02Under Julian's care, my prognosis shifted from a desperate maybe to a calculated probable.
33:08The surgery was scheduled.
33:09The month before the procedure was the quietest I'd known in years.
33:12My body stabilized.
33:14My strength returned in small increments.
33:16I believed I had left Elijah in the wreckage of the past.
33:19Then, the day before my surgery, I saw him.
33:22Elijah stood at the gates of the Langdor estate like a man waiting for a flight he'd already missed.
33:27The second he saw me, he lit up with a desperate, flickering hope.
33:30I didn't feel nostalgia.
33:31I didn't feel the old urge to soothe him.
33:33I felt only a cold, professional indifference.
33:36I angled my body away and headed toward the house.
33:39Amelia!
33:40Wait!
33:41It's me!
33:42I finally found you!
33:44I've been looking everywhere!
33:48Why did you leave like that?
33:50Why did you go overseas without a word?
33:52Why did you...
33:53Why did you divorce me?
33:55Mr. Miller, we are no longer on the same manifest.
33:58You are an unauthorized person on this property.
34:01I'm your husband!
34:02I don't care what those papers say.
34:04I signed them when I was under stress.
34:05It doesn't count!
34:09Mr. Miller, let go of me.
34:11The flight has landed and the doors are locked.
34:14You are no longer the captain here.
34:18I'm your husband.
34:19Why are you calling me Mr. Miller?
34:21We're not divorced.
34:22That signature, I signed it when I was under extreme operational stress.
34:26It doesn't count.
34:27It's an invalid manifest.
34:33Mr. Miller, let go of me.
34:35Whether you choose to acknowledge the paperwork or not, the divorce is final.
34:41The flight is over.
34:44Amelia, I missed you.
34:47I know I messed up the flight plan.
34:49Please, just give me a chance to recalibrate.
34:53Okay?
34:57What do you actually want?
35:00If you came all this way to cry and play the victim, I'm going to save you some fuel.
35:04Get out.
35:05I'm not granting you forgiveness.
35:07I know you're still hung up on the Scarlet situation.
35:10I admit, I leaned too far toward her before.
35:14She was going through a crisis and I felt a professional duty to support her.
35:18But after you left, I found out she was doing things behind my back.
35:21She compromised everything.
35:24Amelia, I punished her.
35:26She's grounded.
35:27She's finished.
35:28After what she did to you, that's what the investigation demanded.
35:31Enough.
35:32I don't want to hear another word about you or Scarlet Taylor.
35:34Wasn't she your life-saving hero and you can still treat her like trash the second she becomes a liability?
35:38You can even throw away a child like it's a failed engine cart.
35:41No, it's not like that.
35:42I never even slept with her.
35:43That baby wasn't mine.
35:44I was lied to, Amelia.
35:45I was hijacked.
35:53You're still lying, Elijah.
35:56You're still trying to talk your way out of a crash.
35:58Just go.
35:58You know I have cancer, right?
36:01My surgery is tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock.
36:03I don't have time to play tug-of-war with your conscience.
36:09Amelia, no.
36:10I can't lose you.
36:14Don't be like this.
36:15You loved me.
36:16Don't you remember our flight over the Alps?
36:18Don't you remember the promises?
36:20We have a baby.
36:21Are you really going to let our child grow up without a father?
36:23I haven't even seen him once.
36:25I didn't even know his name until the private investigators found the birth certificate.
36:28Worried about my baby?
36:29When you pulled every specialized doctor off my case because Scarlett had a minor burn,
36:34where was that father energy then?
36:35When I was on that kitchen floor screaming your name and begging you to take me to the ER,
36:39where was your concern?
36:40Where was your child then?
36:41You told me he didn't matter as much as she did.
36:44That child is mine.
36:45Not ours.
36:46Mine.
36:47A Langford does not share bloodlines with men who abandon their crew in an emergency.
36:51My son will be a Langford heir.
36:53You don't get to claim him.
36:55Not now.
36:56Not ever.
36:56You've been stricken from the manifest.
36:58Amelia, I did screw up.
37:00But Scarlett tricked me.
37:01She played on my gratitude for the fire.
37:03I only found out the truth a couple of days ago.
37:08Just give me one chance to fix the wreckage.
37:10Let me make it up to you, please.
37:12Enough!
37:12I don't want to hear your excuses.
37:14In my eyes, you are the reason the engines failed.
37:16You are the reason we crashed.
37:17If I hadn't gotten lucky,
37:18my baby and I would have died in that hospital
37:20while you were playing house with a fraud.
37:21Stay far away from us, Elijah.
37:23The best thing you can do is disappear
37:24and never cross my path again.
37:26I can't.
37:27I can't leave you.
37:29I'll spend my whole life making it up to you.
37:31You said you'd love me forever.
37:33Why can't you give me one more chance?
37:41Enough!
37:43Did you not hear her?
37:45She doesn't forgive you.
37:46She doesn't want you on her manifest.
37:48Her surgery is at 8 o'clock tomorrow.
37:51And you're here, stirring up turbulence,
37:53acting like a selfish, desperate mess.
37:55Who the hell are you?
37:57This is a private matter between me and my wife.
38:01Elijah, we have been divorced for a month.
38:03I am no longer part of your crew.
38:06I am not your wife.
38:08Elijah, I'm Amelia's fiance.
38:11After her procedure is cleared, we're getting married.
38:14And you, you're just the ex-husband
38:15who is stripped of his rank.
38:19Stop acting like you own the airspace.
38:22She told me everything you did.
38:25The neglect, the betrayal,
38:27the way you abandoned her in an emergency.
38:30If you don't clear the perimeter now,
38:31I won't hesitate to have you removed.
38:35We've only been apart a month.
38:37She can't be your fiance.
38:38And we have a child.
38:40You don't have the authority to talk about my son.
38:43I'm not like you, Miller.
38:45I don't throw away something precious and then cry
38:48when a better man picks up the pieces.
38:50I don't care that Amelia has a child.
38:52I'll love that boy like he's my own co-pilot.
38:55You've been out of the game for a long time.
38:59That baby and Amelia are my future.
39:01And you don't get a vote on the flight plan.
39:06I don't get a vote on the flight plan.
39:14Amelia, why won't you look at me?
39:16I'm hurt worse than he is.
39:18Look at me.
39:18Why would I care, Elijah?
39:20We have nothing to do with each other.
39:21You are an unauthorized person on this property.
39:23Miles is my fiance.
39:25You put your hands on him
39:26because you can't handle a change in command.
39:27Get him out of here.
39:28He's grounded.
39:33I'm really sorry, Miles.
39:35You shouldn't have had to deal with that kind of turbulence.
39:37It's my mess and you're the one taking the impact.
39:40We have the gate security footage.
39:42If you want to file an incident report,
39:43if you want to press charges,
39:44I'll back you 100%.
39:45No hesitation.
39:47Yeah?
39:48You're always going to be on my side, Amelia?
39:51Always.
39:52Compared to Elijah,
39:52you're the only one I trust in the cockpit.
39:54What I said out there,
39:55I wasn't just broadcasting for the sake of the argument.
39:57You want to think about the flight plan, truly?
39:59Sorry, Miles.
40:00I think I hear the baby.
40:01Make yourself comfortable, okay?
40:09We're going to be okay.
40:11Mom's going to get through the procedure tomorrow.
40:13And after that,
40:15nobody gets to touch our flight path again.
40:17Breathe, sweetheart.
40:18The procedure is going to be a success.
40:21Your father and I will be right outside at the gate.
40:23And your baby,
40:24he's waiting for you to come home
40:25and take the controls again.
40:27I will.
40:28I'm coming out healthy.
40:29Mom,
40:31I'm not grounded yet.
40:32Amelia!
40:33Wait!
40:34I have something to say, please.
40:36Just one minute before you go in.
40:41You've got some damn nerves
40:42showing up here, Miller.
40:43What?
40:43Are you trying to finish the job?
40:45Well, we trusted you with our daughter.
40:47We promised you to protect her for life.
40:48Not even two years later,
40:50you were cheating, humiliating her,
40:51and now she's fighting for her life
40:53because of the neglect you put her through.
40:55Get out!
40:55And don't you ever show your face
40:57near my daughter again.
40:58Ever!
41:00Emma.
41:01Thomas, please.
41:02I know I was wrong.
41:03I swear I didn't know
41:04Scarlett was doing all that behind my back.
41:06I'll make it up to Amelia and the baby.
41:07No.
41:08I haven't targeted the Miller group yet.
41:09That's the only mercy you've gotten
41:11and you didn't deserve it.
41:12We should have let you burn
41:13in that cockpit that night.
41:14What?
41:15You want the truth?
41:16Amelia saved you.
41:17She was the one
41:18who pulled you out of that fire.
41:20She's the one
41:20who carries the scars on her back
41:21while you were worshipping a fraud.
41:23Drag him out.
41:24Amelia doesn't need to see that animal
41:26when she wakes up
41:27and if he fights,
41:28break him.
41:30By the time I woke up
41:31from the anesthetic clouds,
41:32Elijah was gone,
41:33flown back to the States
41:34to face a storm he couldn't outrun.
41:37Weeks later,
41:37I finally had the strength
41:38to hold my son
41:39without my arms shaking.
41:40I looked into his bright, clear eyes
41:42and felt the last
41:43of the turbulence fade away.
41:45My father and Miles
41:46mobilized the Langford influence
41:47targeting Elijah's investors,
41:48regulators and contracts.
41:50Elijah, too busy drowning
41:51his guilt in a bottle
41:52to maintain his command,
41:53let the company rot from the inside.
41:54With once Mighty Airline
41:55filed for bankruptcy,
41:57the final blow came
41:58from the very woman
41:59he'd sacrificed everything for.
42:00Scarlett and her lover,
42:01Benjamin,
42:02they sued him
42:02for the trauma
42:03of his final retaliation
42:04and the ensuing legal battle
42:06stripped him
42:06of his last remaining assets.
42:08In the end,
42:09between the corporate collapse
42:10and the criminal invest
42:11investigation into his conduct,
42:13Elijah was sentenced
42:14to 20 years.
42:15I had my son,
42:16I had my name
42:17and I had a new flight plan.
42:19I was a single mom
42:20by choice
42:21and I was going to build
42:22the Lang group
42:23into an empire
42:24so untouchable
42:25that no man like
42:26Elijah Miller
42:26would ever be allowed
42:27to enter my airspace again.
42:29Amen.
