00:05I'll have the contracts ready before the flight. No delays.
00:16It's a pleasure doing business with you.
00:19Mr. Victor,
00:22my name is Ethan Cross, CEO of M Corp International.
00:25Forbes calls me one of the most eligible bachelors in the world.
00:28I call myself a man who has everything.
00:29except a reason to come home.
00:42Hey! Hey, stay with me!
00:49Gerald, bring the car around.
00:51Now. I need a doctor.
00:53I didn't know it then, but this woman,
00:55this stranger covered in ash and fire
00:56was about to change everything.
01:01My name is Lena Vidal,
01:03heiress to the Vidal Fuentes Empire.
01:05At least, that's what they call it.
01:07What they don't tell you is that
01:09empires are built on the bones of their children.
01:12Darling,
01:13the guests are arriving.
01:15Your father, I need you downstairs.
01:18Mother, before the engagement party,
01:20I need to tell you something.
01:21Can we please reconsider?
01:22Your father and I have discussed this.
01:24The merger depends on this marriage.
01:26But I don't love Marco.
01:28I've never loved him.
01:28This company, it's swallowing my entire life.
01:31Leave this room.
01:32Smile.
01:32And do what this family needs you to do.
01:46There she is.
01:48My beautiful bride-to-be.
01:53They announced my engagement
01:55like a business deal
01:56because that's exactly what it was.
02:05I had given everything to this family.
02:07My education, my career, my dreams.
02:10I studied finance and economics.
02:13Not because I wanted to,
02:15because as they needed to,
02:16they could marry off
02:16to secure their crumbling empire.
02:18Father, please.
02:19I'll do anything else for this company,
02:21but I can't marry I don't love.
02:23Love?
02:23You think love keeps 3,000 employees fed?
02:26Our stock is 40%.
02:27The Duarte merger
02:28is the only thing standing but us in bank.
02:30Then let me find another way.
02:32I can restructure the debt,
02:33find new investors.
02:34You will follow my instructions.
02:36There is no more discussion.
02:37You may go.
02:39Either you agree,
02:40or I hand everything
02:41to the Duarte family myself.
02:43Your choice.
02:47In that moment,
02:48I understood.
02:49I would never be enough for them.
02:51I was never their daughter.
02:52I was their transaction.
02:54So I decided to run.
02:59My mother arranged everything.
03:01A private jet
03:02booked under a friend's name.
03:03Leaving at dawn
03:04from a private airstrip
03:05outside the estate,
03:06all I had to do
03:06was walk out the front gate.
03:08Long night, isn't it?
03:11Have a drink.
03:12You deserve it.
03:22Mom, thank you.
03:24I can't stop your father.
03:25And I may not be able
03:26to protect you after this.
03:27But I can give you a head start.
03:29Promise to take care of yourself.
03:30I promise.
03:32I'll find a way
03:32to save the company, too.
03:34I just need time.
03:36My brave girl.
03:37Now go.
03:39You have maybe six hours
03:40before he realizes you're gone.
03:49I didn't know where I was going.
03:50I only knew I was finally free.
03:57She's fine.
03:57Just shock and minor cuts.
03:59She'll wake in a few hours.
04:00The explosion destroyed the cafe
04:01next to the restaurant.
04:02She was caught in a blast.
04:04No ID.
04:05Just a woman in a ruined wedding dress,
04:06alone in the middle of chaos.
04:08Find out who she is.
04:09Check hospital records,
04:10missing persons, everything.
04:11Yes, sir.
04:11I told myself it was responsibility.
04:13I found her.
04:13I should make sure she's okay.
04:15But something about the way she looked,
04:17fragile and fierce at the same time,
04:18I couldn't walk away.
04:22Where, where am I?
04:23Who?
04:24Easy.
04:25You're safe.
04:26My name is Ethan Cross.
04:27There was an explosion.
04:28You were caught in it.
04:29I brought you here.
04:31I'm Lena.
04:32Lena.
04:34Are you all right?
04:35Is there someone I should call?
04:40No.
04:41There's no one to call.
04:51Good morning.
04:52How are you feeling?
04:55Better.
04:56Thank you for everything.
04:58I should probably go.
05:05Go where, exactly?
05:09I...
05:09I'll figure something out.
05:11You have no phone,
05:12no ID,
05:14and you were wearing a wedding dress
05:15in the middle of an explosion.
05:17You don't know anything about me.
05:21You're right.
05:22But I have a proposal.
05:23I'm leaving for my private island tomorrow.
05:25A vacation.
05:25Off the grid.
05:26Come with people.
05:27No press.
05:28Recover.
05:28No strings attached.
05:29You're asking a complete stranger
05:31to vacation on your private island?
05:33I'm asking someone
05:34who clearly needs to disappear for a while,
05:36and I happen to have the perfect place.
05:39Why would you help me?
05:42Because I can.
05:47Fine.
05:48But this is temporary,
05:50and I'm not your charity case.
05:54Wouldn't dream of it.
05:58This is...
06:00excessive.
06:01Says the woman who is wearing
06:03a couture wedding gown.
06:08Touché.
06:12We'll stop to refuel once.
06:15Total flight time about ten hours.
06:16Get some rest.
06:17Ten hours?
06:19Where exactly is this island?
06:21Somewhere no one will find you.
06:23I should have been terrified.
06:25A strange man,
06:27a private plane,
06:28an unknown destination.
06:30But for the first time in years,
06:31I wasn't afraid.
06:33I was relieved.
06:41I've built companies,
06:42closed billion-dollar deals,
06:44controlled every variable in my life.
06:45But this woman,
06:47sleeping on my shoulder,
06:49trusting me without reason,
06:50I had no plan.
07:07Oh, my God.
07:09Oh, my God.
07:09Welcome to Isla Serena.
07:11Population currently two.
07:24This isn't what I expected.
07:26What did you expect?
07:27I don't know.
07:28Gold toilets,
07:29a helipad shaped like your initials.
07:32The helipad is around back.
07:38I mean,
07:39Ethan,
07:40you didn't tell me
07:41you were bringing someone.
07:42Mom,
07:43this is my friend,
07:44Lena.
07:44Lena,
07:45this is my mother,
07:45Eleanor,
07:46and my grandfather,
07:48Henry.
07:48About time this boy
07:49brought someone home,
07:51we were starting to worry.
07:56It's wonderful to meet you both.
07:58Watching my mother hug her,
07:59watching Lena's walls come down
08:01for just a second,
08:01I knew I'd made the right call
08:02bringing her here.
08:04He thought of everything.
08:06Clothes that actually fit,
08:07sunscreen,
08:09books,
08:10even a journal.
08:12I don't know how he'd
08:13each other less than two days.
08:14Oh, you,
08:15Tauner,
08:15Summer,
08:17was I kidding you enough for a bet?
08:26That
08:28looks good on you.
08:33Thanks.
08:33Your mother has excellent taste.
08:35Or was this you?
08:37I may have made some suggestions.
08:44Lena, dear,
08:45you look lovely.
08:47Ethan,
08:47stop staring
08:48and pour the girl
08:48some juice.
08:50Can I ask you something?
08:52Anything.
08:53Why are you really doing this?
08:55Rich men don't
08:56are strangers
08:56and fly them
08:57to private islands
08:58out of kindness.
08:58What's the catch?
09:01What's the catch?
09:01No catch.
09:02I saw someone
09:03who needed help
09:04and honestly,
09:06I needed to get away too.
09:08From what?
09:10From being the person
09:11everyone expects me to be.
09:13I understand that.
09:16More than you know.
09:18I'll be with a stout, Gabe.
09:31So tell me about
09:33the great Ethan Cross.
09:35The internet says
09:36you're worth
09:3612 billion dollars
09:37and you've never been
09:38fade a draft smiling.
09:40The internet exaggerates.
09:42It's only 11 billion.
09:45I'm serious.
09:47Who are you
09:48when no one's watching?
09:51My father built
09:53Cross Industries
09:53from nothing.
09:54Shipping,
09:55real estate,
09:56finance.
09:56When I was 18,
09:57he handed me the keys
09:58and said,
09:59don't lose it.
10:00That was his version
10:01of love.
10:03And your mother?
10:04She's the opposite.
10:06All warmth,
10:07all heart.
10:08When dad died,
10:09she moved here.
10:10Said she'd spent
10:11enough years
10:11in boardrooms.
10:13She wanted sand
10:14between her toes.
10:15She sounds wonderful.
10:20She is.
10:22She's also the only person
10:23who's ever told me
10:24it's okay to want
10:25something other than success.
10:28And do you?
10:30Want something else?
10:32No.
10:33I'm starting to.
10:35So no girlfriend?
10:37No fiancé?
10:39Waiting somewhere
10:39with a pitchfork?
10:40There was someone.
10:42It ended badly.
10:44She wanted the name,
10:45not the man.
10:48I'm sorry.
10:50Don't be.
10:51It taught me something.
10:53The only people
10:54worth keeping
10:55are the ones
10:56who see you,
10:56not your bank account.
10:59Then I think
11:00we have more in common
11:01than either of us expected.
11:10this is...
11:11There are no words.
11:17I come here
11:18when I need to think.
11:21Or when I need
11:22to stop thinking.
11:24Ethan,
11:25I want to thank you.
11:26Not just for the island
11:27or the clothes
11:28or the food.
11:29For not questions.
11:31For just letting me breathe.
11:33You don't have to thank me
11:34for basic decency.
11:38You'd be surprised
11:39how rare that is
11:39in my world.
11:43Whatever you're carrying,
11:45whenever you're ready
11:46to put it down,
11:47I'll be here.
11:49I won't push.
11:51But I'll be here.
11:55You know what
11:55my little cousin Tommy
11:56calls you?
11:57What?
11:59Superheroes.
12:00He says you're
12:01my superheroes.
12:09Superheroes don't have
12:10private islands.
12:11No.
12:12He has something better.
12:14He shows up
12:15when it matters.
12:19Then I'll keep
12:20showing up.
12:21Come on,
12:21superheroes.
12:22Your mom's making dinner
12:23and I'm starving.
12:25That's when I knew.
12:27She wasn't just
12:28someone I wanted to help.
12:29She was someone
12:30I wanted to keep.
12:32Before I was an heiress,
12:33before I was
12:34a business degree,
12:35before I was
12:35someone's arranged bride,
12:37I was a girl
12:38who loved to sing.
12:43I was already falling
12:45before I knew you're
12:46to sing.
12:47Don't let me shatter,
12:49darling.
12:50Just hold on
12:51to my hand.
12:57How long have you been
12:58standing there?
13:06Long enough,
13:07that was...
13:08Lena,
13:09that was incredible.
13:11Why didn't you tell me
13:12you could sing like that?
13:13It was never important.
13:15Not to my family.
13:16They wanted spreadsheets,
13:17not songs.
13:18It's important.
13:20Your voice is important.
13:22Promise me you won't stop.
13:26You don't know
13:27how much that means.
13:32I think I do.
13:38We should...
13:39The stars are out.
13:41Want to see them
13:41from the beach?
13:43Yeah.
13:44Yeah, let's do that.
13:55Ethan.
13:58What is this?
13:59I realized we've spent
14:01a week together
14:01and never had a proper date.
14:03If you'd like one.
14:06This is the most beautiful thing
14:08anyone has ever done for me.
14:10Okay, your turn.
14:12Biggest fear?
14:14Losing someone I love
14:16and not being able
14:17to do anything about it.
14:28You won't lose me.
14:36Is that a promise?
14:40It's a promise.
14:49Lena, I need to tell you something.
14:52This week,
14:53being with you,
14:54it's changed something in me.
14:55I don't want this to end.
14:59Neither do I.
15:03Stay with me.
15:08I'm not going anywhere.
15:27Do you believe in wishes?
15:29I believe in making things happen.
15:32That's such a billionaire answer.
15:43Okay, here's the deal.
15:44We each make one wish
15:46on that star,
15:47the bright one,
15:48but you can't tell me.
15:49Why not?
15:51Because then it won't come to yours,
15:53obviously.
15:56Obviously.
16:01Done.
16:02Done.
16:04Can I at least ask,
16:06are you happy?
16:08Right now,
16:09in this moment?
16:10This is the happiest I've been
16:12in my entire life.
16:13And it terrifies me.
16:15Why?
16:17Because happy never lasts.
16:19Not for me.
16:27Then let me prove you wrong.
16:29We made the same wish that night.
16:32I know because months later,
16:34he told me.
16:36We both wished for the same thing.
16:46Whatever happens when we leave this island,
16:48I want you to have already changed my life.
16:50You've already changed my life.
17:00Three weeks.
17:02Three weeks since she vanished.
17:05Her father's people found nothing.
17:07The police found nothing.
17:11But I will find her.
17:13I always get what's mine.
17:15Sir,
17:15we've checked every airline,
17:16every border crossing,
17:17no record of Alina Vidal leaving the country.
17:19Then she used a different name.
17:21She had help.
17:22Find out who.
17:27Where are you hiding, my love?
17:34Sir,
17:35Mr. Vidal is online too.
17:37He wants an update.
17:38Tell Rodrigo I'll have his daughter back.
17:40And when I do,
17:41the wedding happens immediately.
17:43No more delays.
17:46No one leaves me, Lena.
17:49No one.
17:54It's me.
17:55I need you to expand the search.
17:57Pride Investigationers,
17:58international contacts.
17:59I don't care what it costs.
18:01And check every just
18:01Pride's a pair
18:02within 200 miles of Vida State.
18:04Someone flew her out.
18:05She thinks she can escape.
18:06She thinks distance will save her.
18:08But she doesn't understand.
18:09There is no distance far enough.
18:11I've waited too long.
18:14Sacrificed too much.
18:15She belongs to me.
18:26Hey, you're up early.
18:31What's wrong?
18:32I need to tell you something
18:34about who I am.
18:36About why I was in that wedding dress.
18:39My real name is Lena Vidal.
18:43My family owns Vidal Fiends Industries.
18:47Or they did.
18:49The company's been failing for years.
18:51My father arranged a marriage
18:53to a man named Marco Duarte
18:55to save the business through a merger.
18:58And you ran?
19:00I ran.
19:01The night of my engagement party.
19:03My mother helped me escape.
19:05I flew to the States with nothing.
19:07Fake name.
19:08Borrowed money.
19:11I was trying to get to a friend's place
19:13when the explosion happened.
19:19Marco isn't just my ex-fiancé.
19:21He's obsessive.
19:23Controlling.
19:24He's been watching me for years.
19:27Following me.
19:29Threatening anyone who got close.
19:31And my father doesn't care.
19:34Because Marco's money
19:35is the only thing
19:37keeping the company alive.
19:39Has he hurt you?
19:41Not physically.
19:42But there are other ways
19:43to cage someone.
19:46Thank you for telling me.
19:49None of this changes anything.
19:50You're not angry?
19:53That I lied?
19:55You didn't lie.
19:57You survived.
19:58There's a difference.
20:04Listen to me.
20:06No one is going to touch you.
20:08Not Marco.
20:10Not your father.
20:11Not anyone.
20:11I promise you that.
20:13You can't promise that.
20:15Watch me.
20:21Ethan, I've looked into the Vidal-Fanis situation.
20:23The company's hemorrhaging money.
20:25Rothergo Vidal has been selling off assets for months.
20:27The Duarte merger is their last play.
20:32And Marco Duterte?
20:34Bad news.
20:34He's connected.
20:36Politically.
20:36Financially.
20:37His family has ties to some very powerful people.
20:39If he's looking for Lena,
20:41he has the resources to find her.
20:44Then we need to be smarter.
20:46I want a full security assessment.
20:49Upgrade everything on the island.
20:51And Harris,
20:53start looking into Duarte's business dealings.
20:55Everyone has skeletons.
20:58You're going to war with
21:00Marco Duarte?
21:03If I have to.
21:11Hey.
21:12What's going on in that billionaire brain of yours?
21:17Just work stuff.
21:20Liar.
21:24You looked into Marco, didn't you?
21:28I needed to understand what we're dealing with.
21:30You keep saying we.
21:33Because that's what this is now.
21:35Ethan, I can't let you risk everything for me.
21:37Your company, your reputation.
21:39My company means nothing if I can't protect the people I care about.
21:43And I care about you, Lena.
21:44More than I planned to.
21:46More than I probably should.
21:48I care about you, too.
21:49That's what scares me.
21:50Everyone I care about gets hurt.
21:53Then we'll be scared together.
21:55My wife helped her escape.
21:58I'm certain of it.
21:59Then your wife is a problem.
22:02Sophia has been dealt with.
22:04She won't interfere again.
22:10And the private air filed?
22:12We traced the flight plan.
22:14The jet landed in Miami.
22:16But after that, the trail goes cold.
22:19She's with someone.
22:21A woman like Lena doesn't survive a loan for three weeks without help.
22:25Find out who.
22:26Marco, perhaps we should consider that she doesn't want this marriage.
22:33Perhaps what?
22:34Perhaps I should let your company collapse.
22:38Perhaps I should call in every loan your family owes mine.
22:40Is that what you prefer?
22:44Find your daughter.
22:45Bring her to me.
22:47Or I will find her myself and you won't like my methods.
22:51It's Duarte.
22:53I need your best man.
22:54Someone discreet.
22:55I'm looking for a woman and whoever's hiding her.
22:58Soon, my love.
23:00Very soon.
23:14Lena?
23:15Mom?
23:16Are you okay?
23:17I heard...
23:18I'm fine.
23:18Listen to me.
23:19Your father knows I helped you.
23:20Marco's hired investigators.
23:22They traced the jet to Miami.
23:25Do they know where I am?
23:27Not yet.
23:28But it's only a matter of time.
23:31Lena, whoever is helping you, you need to tell them the truth.
23:34All of it.
23:35Marco won't stop.
23:37I already told him, Mom.
23:39He...
23:40He's a good man.
23:41And hold on to him.
23:42Don't make my mistake.
23:44Don't let fear choose your life for you.
23:47I'm so sorry.
23:49I'm sorry I left you there.
23:51Don't you dare apologize.
23:54You are the bravest thing I've ever done.
23:58Now be brave a little longer.
24:12Lena?
24:18We're going to figure this out.
24:21Together.
24:22I promise.
24:25He's coming, Ethan.
24:28Marco's coming.
24:32Let him come.
24:38Sir, Mr. Harris called.
24:40Ethan.
24:41He says the security team arrives this afternoon.
24:46Good.
24:47And the background check on Duarda?
24:54Preliminary results are in.
24:56There's...
24:57quite a lot, sir.
25:04This man is a produtor.
25:09What are you looking at?
25:12Nothing you need to worry about right now.
25:15Don't do that.
25:17Don't protect me from the truth.
25:19I've had enough of men deciding what I can handle.
25:29Marco Duarte has a history.
25:31Fraud.
25:32Inimidation.
25:32A woman filed a restraining order against him two years ago.
25:35It disappeared from the records.
25:39I knew he was controlling.
25:41I didn't know about the other woman.
25:46This is leverage, Lena.
25:49If we can find her, get her testimony.
25:52You don't understand.
25:55Marco destroys people who stand against him.
25:57That woman probably disappeared because she was terrified.
26:03Then we make sure you don't have to be terrified anymore.
26:08I have resources.
26:10Lawyers, security.
26:11We can build a case against him, but I need you to trust me.
26:14I trust you.
26:16I just don't trust the world to be fair.
26:19Then we'll make it fair.
26:21Brother, I need you back.
26:23The Tokyo deal is falling apart without you, and the board is asking questions about your extended vacation.
26:31Tell them I'm handling things remotely.
26:33For how long?
26:34Ethan, you've been gone three weeks.
26:36People are talking.
26:36Let them talk.
26:41This is about the woman, isn't it?
26:43The one from the explosion.
26:45Ethan, be careful.
26:46You can't save everyone.
26:49I'm not trying to save everyone.
26:50Just one person.
27:00I heard your call.
27:02You need to go back.
27:05I'm not leaving you.
27:06Ethan, you have a company.
27:08Thousands of employees.
27:09A life.
27:10You can't put it all on hold for me.
27:13Watch me.
27:14Stop saying that!
27:16I won't be the reason you lose everything you've built!
27:20And I won't be the man who walked away when it mattered.
27:22I've done that before.
27:23I won't do it again.
27:24What do you mean?
27:28You've done that before?
27:34My ex.
27:35I chose the company over her.
27:37Every time.
27:38I realized I'd never really been there at all.
27:40I won't make that mistake with you.
27:42Then we go together.
27:43Back to the real world.
27:45And we face it.
27:46All of it.
27:47Side by side.
27:47Are you sure?
27:49I'm terrified.
27:50But I'm sure.
27:55I'm gonna miss that place.
28:00It's not going anywhere.
28:01We'll come back.
28:03Before we land, there's something I need to tell you.
28:05I've had my lawyers working on something.
28:07What kind of something?
28:09A legal strategy against Marco and your father's arrangement.
28:14Harris found enough evidence of financial artitionship.
28:19Scott to challenge the merger entirely.
28:22Ethan, that could take years in court.
28:23Or it could take weeks if we have the right pressure points.
28:26And we do.
28:35Duarte's been laundering money through three shell companies.
28:37Your father may not even know.
28:39If we bring this to the financial regulators.
28:41The merger collapses.
28:44Marco loses leverage over my family.
28:46Exactly.
28:47Your father won't need Marco's money if the deal is toxic.
28:49And Marco can't force a marriage if he's facing federal charges.
28:52You did all this for me?
28:56I did this for us.
28:58And for every person Marco has ever hurt.
29:05You're insane.
29:06You know that, right?
29:07Clinically?
29:09Probably.
29:13Penny for your thoughts?
29:15I was just thinking.
29:16A month ago, I was planning my escape from an engagement party.
29:20Now I'm standing in a pen to York with who makes me believe in second chances.
29:23Is that a good thing?
29:26It's the best thing.
29:40I run a 12 billion dollar company.
29:42And I can't boil spaghetti.
29:4611 billion.
29:49You're never going to let that go, are you?
29:51Never.
29:54Ethan?
29:56Hmm?
29:58I want to start writing music again.
30:01For real this time.
30:03I want to record something.
30:05I know a producer.
30:06I can set up a studio session.
30:08No.
30:09I want to do this on my own.
30:11No billionaire shortcuts.
30:13I need to earn it.
30:15Then earn it.
30:16I'll be your biggest fan.
30:19You already are.
30:28I was already falling before I knew your name.
30:32You pulled me from the fire and taught me love's not pain.
30:37That's the one.
30:38That's the take.
30:46Perfect.
30:52I did it.
30:54I actually did it.
30:55You did it.
30:57All you.
30:58Ethan, do you remember our wish?
31:00On the island?
31:03The star wish?
31:04I wished for love.
31:07Real love.
31:08The kind that stays.
31:11So did I.
31:12I know.
31:14I think I always knew.
31:15I love you, Lena Vidal.
31:21I love you too.
31:23My superhero.
31:24My impossible, ridiculous, wonderful man.
31:31When?
31:33How close?
31:34Lock everything down.
31:36Now.
31:45Lena.
31:48Marco's people found us.
31:55What?
31:55One of his investigators traced a purchase I made.
31:59Clothes shipped to the island.
32:02They connected it to my name.
32:03You're with me.
32:05No.
32:06No, no, no.
32:11Look at me.
32:12We prepared for this.
32:14Harris has the evidence read.
32:15The financial regulators are already reviewing Duarte's files.
32:19We just need a little more time.
32:20And he won't give us more money.
32:21He won't give us time.
32:23You don't know him, Ethan.
32:25He'll come here.
32:26He'll...
32:31Sir, there's a man in the lobby demanding to see you.
32:34He says his name is Marco Duarte.
32:39Send him up.
32:41Then, don't!
32:43I told you.
32:44Let him come.
32:46So this is where you've been hiding her.
32:51Impressive.
32:52You're in my home.
32:54I suggest you choose your next words carefully.
32:57Lena, darling.
32:58You've had your little adventure.
32:59It's time to come home.
33:04I'm not going anywhere with you, Marco.
33:07Not now.
33:08Not ever.
33:09Your father disagrees.
33:10The merger.
33:14The merger is dead.
33:16I know about the shell companies.
33:18The laundering.
33:19The fraud.
33:19Right now, my lawyers are presenting evidence to federal regulators.
33:22By tomorrow morning, your ass will be frozen.
33:24You have no idea who you're dealing with, Cross.
33:28Actually, I do.
33:30You're a man who confuses ownership with love.
33:34Who thinks money buys people?
33:36But here's what your money can't buy.
33:39Her.
33:40She's not yours.
33:41She never was.
33:42This what you want?
33:44This stranger over your own family.
33:46My family used me as currency.
33:49You treated me like property.
33:50Ethan is the first person who ever asked me what I wanted.
33:53So, yes, this is what I want.
34:01This isn't over.
34:03Yes, it is.
34:06Enjoy it while it lasts.
34:08Cross.
34:11You were incredible.
34:17I think I'm going to throw up.
34:20That's also incredible.
34:22The regulators move fast and freezing her this morning.
34:26Duarte's accounts are frozen as lawyers are scrambling.
34:28And my father.
34:29Rodrigo Dall has been cooperating reluctantly.
34:32Once he saw the evidence of fraud, he was the merger would have destroyed his company, not saved it.
34:38So now he listens.
34:40There's more.
34:41The woman who filed the restraining order, her name is Clara Mendez.
34:45She's agreed to testify.
34:49How?
34:54We offered her protection.
34:56A new identity if she needs it.
34:57She's been waiting years for someone to stand up to Marco.
34:59Lena, I just wanted you to know that you're not alone.
35:01All those years I thought I was the only one.
35:03You were never the only one.
35:07But you might be the one who ends it.
35:09Ms. Vidal.
35:11Is it true you're pressing charges against Marco Dutate?
35:14I'm here to tell the truth.
35:17That's all.
35:20Ms. Vidal, can you describe the nature of your relationship with the defendant?
35:25It was never a relationship.
35:26It was an arrangement made by my father and Marco's family for financial gain.
35:30I was never consulted if he was told I had no choice.
35:33And when you attempted to leave?
35:36Marco made it clear through threats, surveillance and intimidation that leaving was not an option.
35:41He monitored my movements.
35:42He threatened people close to me.
35:44He believed he owned me.
35:49He did the same to me.
35:51The surveillance, the threats.
35:54When I filed a restraining order, it disappeared.
35:56His lawyers made sure of it.
35:58I was terrified for three years.
36:03On the charges of financial fraud, money laundering and criminal intimidation,
36:07and the court finds the defendant Marco Dutate guilty on all counts.
36:26You did it.
36:28We did it.
36:30I am so proud of you.
36:38That was already filing by newcomer Lena Vidal.
36:41And folks, this one is climbing the charts fast.
36:47Heard you on the radio.
36:48The barista recognized your voice.
36:50I think you're famous now.
36:51Don't let it go to your head.
36:53You're still only worth 11 billion.
36:59Lena.
37:01Father.
37:02I owe you an apology.
37:04I put the company above my own daughter.
37:07I was wrong.
37:08Yes.
37:10You were.
37:11I'm not asking for forgiveness.
37:13I'm asking for a chance to earn it.
37:15Then earn it.
37:16Starting now.
37:20So, your song is a hit.
37:22Your father's actually trying.
37:23Marco's in prison.
37:24What's next for Lena Vidal?
37:26World domination?
37:27A Grammy?
37:28Teaching your mother how to use FaceTime?
37:30She's 73.
37:32That might be harder than the Grammy.
37:38I have something for you.
37:43Before you panic.
37:44It's not a ring.
37:46Not yet.
37:47Open it.
37:50The wishing star.
37:52I had it made after our night on the beach.
37:54One star for one wish.
37:57Put it on me.
37:59I love you, Ethan Cross.
38:01Every impossible, stubborn, generous part of you.
38:06I love you, Lena.
38:12You look like freedom.
38:14That's exactly what I feel like.
38:16Are you ready?
38:18I've been ready since the night he carried me out of the fire.
38:21It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
38:23You say that every morning.
38:24And I mean it every morning.
38:26Lena, a year ago I found a woman in a ruined dress in the middle of chaos.
38:33I thought I was saving her.
38:35But she saved from a life success meant everything, connection, my nothing.
38:38You tell me that the bravest thing a person can do is stay.
38:41So here I am.
38:42Staying.
38:43Ethan, I spent my whole life being told what to want, who to be, where to go.
38:46Then a building exploded and a stranger with gray eyes picked me up and said no one had ever said
38:49that to me before.
38:50You gave me a place to land.
38:51By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
38:56You may kiss.
39:01Remember our wish?
39:02Real love.
39:04The kind that stays.
39:07Wish granted.
39:11So what do we wish for now?
39:14Everything else.
39:17Together.
39:18They say billionaires can buy anything.
39:20But the thing wanted most, the thing we both wanted, was never for sale.
39:23It was built in fire, carried across oceans, and sealed under a sky full of stars.
39:27It was just love.
39:28Simple, structuring love.
39:29And it was ours.
