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