23:54it's finn glenn's trying to get custody he showed up at finn's school

24:08aunt marga glenn went to finn's school he's filing for custody
24:13he hasn't had a sober week in three years no judge he's got tammy backing him up playing house
24:20making it look stable stable that man couldn't keep a goldfish alive
24:26i need a lawyer a real one and i can't afford a parking ticket we'll figure it out your mother
24:33would have burned that house down before she let glenn take either of you mom's not here no but i
24:39am
24:39katya i need a family attorney best in the state no not for me it's for someone yes i'm sure
24:49just do it bill it to me and katya don't tell him
24:58i meant what i said sober i know three days since he told me to come back sober
25:04i've been sober every single one of them and i haven't said a word
25:11who the hell is katya what happened you ghosted the group chat all weekend
25:16nothing happened that's the problem this is about roman his sister's coming to visit katya he left
25:22me a note about it like i'm the housekeeper he has a sister he's never mentioned her to me directly
25:26i found out from documents in the house weeks ago so he's warning you that's not nothing it's a post
25:31-it
25:32note writ have you told him sober every time i get close to that door i think about all the
25:37reasons he'll
25:37say no you look thin i came because you stopped answering my calls i'm fine
25:47you're a terrible liar always have been and this must be the roommate elliott katya katya elliott
25:55he told me nothing about you which means you matter that's weirdly the nicest thing anyone said
26:00to me this month she likes you more than she likes me she told me about your mother's garden in
26:04saint petersburg she talks too much she loves you that's not talking too much i'm sober roman
26:10i've been sober every night since you said that and i'm saying it again i want this whatever this
26:14is i want it katya came here to convince me to go back to russia she needs me there for
26:20how long
26:20she says two weeks but katya always underestimates how much damage our family can do so that's your
26:25answer that's not my answer tell me what you want you obviously you you must be elliott and you
26:33must be the sister he failed to mention was arriving at seven in the morning he didn't
26:36mention you'd be this pretty either sit my brother doesn't share space with people he barely shares
26:40air so either you're paying him a fortune or he likes you trust me it's not the second one
26:46i said i'd pick you up at the airport and missed the chance to meet your roommate without you hovering
26:51never father wants you back for the board vote in march he's restructuring after after everything
26:55with orlov's network orlov's dead that doesn't make father safe it makes him desperate desperate enough
26:59to offer you full control of the european division no strings andre volov doesn't do no strings how
27:03sick enough that the board smells blood if you don't come back someone worse fills the vacuum
27:07so the sister just showed up like a vogue editorial with a law degree she looked at me like she
27:11was
27:11deposing a witness did she ask about you two there is no you two right you just lived together almost
27:17kissed twice had that whole drunk confession thing and now you sit on opposite sides of doors
27:20listening to each other breathe totally platonic he's here about his father something about going back to
27:24russia back for how long i don't know he won't talk to me about it he barely looked at me
27:29all morning
27:29because his sister's watching elliot if he might leave you need to say something the real thing
27:36sober she likes you katya she told me you're disarmingly genuine her words high praise from a volkov
27:43are you going back my father's dying apparently do you believe it i believe katya believes it
27:49that's not what i asked if i go back it won't be for a visit it's the kind of door
27:53that locks behind
27:54you then don't go it's not that simple yeah it is you told me to come back sober and say
27:59what i meant
27:59i'm sober roman i've been thinking about what katya said about going back to russia the board circling
28:06my father's losing control of the company if i don't go back roman i didn't come out here to talk
28:11about your father's board i know if i do this if we do this i can't promise you safe you
28:17understand that
28:18when is anything in my life was safe i don't know how to do this yeah me neither i missed
28:27you i
28:27missed you too katya's flight left at six she texted from the gate she say anything else she said don't
28:32be stupid which could mean anything with your family it usually means one specific thing i need to go
28:37through my mother's documents today the ones from the firm katya's files from yesterday she left a box
28:41financial records connecting my father to orlov's operations if the board sees these then your father
28:46loses the company or he buries anyone who has them where's the box my room show me these are
28:51wire transfers your father was funding him directly for 15 years before and after my mother died roman
28:57this means your father knew about what he was going to do to her did katya know all of his
29:01known for
29:02years waiting for me to be ready ready for what to destroy him if you take this to the board
29:06your
29:06father goes to prison you inherit an empire you never wanted if i don't someone worse fills the
29:11vacuum katya's words what do you want i want to stop running finn listen to me has he been drinking
29:17this week every night but tammy's here so he keeps it together mostly isn't good enough i'm calling margu
29:21tomorrow elliot don't make it worse please i can handle you're 13 you shouldn't have to handle anything

29:36accessory if olaf handled the logistics and your father funded the operations he's implicated in
29:41every crime olaf committed include including her murder katya spent years building this case she
29:46wanted me to have it because she knew i'd actually use it use it how you take this to the
29:50board your
29:50father's done you take it to authorities he goes to prison he killed my mother he just hired someone
29:54else to hold the gun i know but i need you to be sure because once you do this there's
29:58no version of
29:59your life where you have a father anymore i never had one roman's sister left him documents evidence
30:03against his father serious stuff went federal level serious and he's going to what go public
30:08he wants to take it to the volkov energy board first force his father out before involving
30:12prosecutors cleaner that way cleaner for who for the company for whatever's left of the family name
30:17the company the family name i'm scared for him he acts like he's made of iron but he's he's not
30:21and if
30:21this goes sideways the people around his father aren't corporate lawyers they're the kind of people
30:24who made orlov disappear orlov's dead you told me that and someone killed him that someone works for
30:28andre volkov then maybe the question isn't whether roman should do this it's whether you should be
30:32standing next to him when he does i want a meeting with the independent directors not fedorov
30:36not malkin the ones my father didn't handpick thursday zurich if necessary
30:43my cousin dasha has board access she's willing to present the documents if i provide a sworn
30:47statement from here video deposition dasha handles the room and your father what happens
30:52when he finds out his own son he'll know it was me he'll always know stay when i make the
30:58call
30:58to dasha i need someone in the room who isn't afraid of me your sister asked me to expect this
31:02before she before what happened she sent me documents shell companies wire transfers all
31:07linking my father to orlov's network i need to know if the board of i'm handy ammunition to
31:10people who'll bury it three board members owe your father their seats two others are afraid of him
31:14but the remaining four have been waiting for exactly this quietly for years and you i loved your
31:18mother roman she painted my daughter's portrait the year before she died i've been waiting longest of
31:21all do you have someone with you you shouldn't be alone for this i'm not alone so that's it you
31:28press send and your father's world collapses his world collapsed the day he ordered my mother killed
31:31this is just the paperwork catching up roman once you do this you can't undo it no take backs no
31:36middle ground think i haven't thought about that every night since katia brought that box i've thought
31:38about burning it just lighter fluid in a match and pretending none of it exists why didn't you
31:42because she died getting it to me and because you looked at those documents and you didn't flinch you
31:47didn't tell me to run i want him to answer for her the emails went through petrov confirmed receipt
31:53there's nothing else to do tonight hey you're not losing them again by doing this you're finishing
32:00what they started hey buddy you're up early dad showed up at aunt margett's last night bang on the
32:07door screaming about custody did he get in no margett called the cops but elliot he said he's filing he
32:11wants me back he said a judge would side with a father over an i promise you finn that is
32:14not gonna
32:14happen he sounded sober that's what scared me when he's drunk he's just loud but sober
32:17he means i'll call margot today we'll figure this out you hear me you're safe okay love you too kid
32:24glenn he wants finn back he's filing for custody he needs a lawyer a real one i can't afford i
32:28didn't
32:28ask if you could afford it i said he needs one the board meets thursday in st petersburg petrov has
32:32the proxy votes i need the filing submitted to the registry before my father's people can block it
32:35then find another way in i don't care if it's a back door thursday or none of this matters
32:40how bad andre's lawyers filed an injunction trying to freeze the board vote before it happens
32:45so what's the play petrov's leaking the documents to three financial outlets simultaneously
32:51if the board won't act the press will force their hand and your father will know it was you
32:56he called this morning what did he say that i'm making the same mistake my mother made he's scared
33:04scared people make threats scared people with private armies make graves you haven't said a word in two
33:10hours that's a personal record i'm focused you're spiraling there's a difference roman's going to
33:15st petersburg thursday to face his father and the board in person staying here obviously i've got
33:20class i've got shifts excuses you've got excuses what am i supposed to do win fly to russia i don't

33:49he thinks that's how he protects people by leaving them behind and you're in love with him yeah i am
33:55then go tell him that before he gets on a plane don't go alone we've discussed this no you decided
34:03that's not the same thing if something happens to me in st petersburg that's my inheritance if
34:08something happens to you that's something i not come back from you don't get to make that choice for

35:49the first move and your father he'll just accept it my father hasn't accepted anything in his life
