00:00Laurel Whitmer, you're asking for half the material assets under Eric Vaughn's name,
00:04and you're voluntarily giving up custody of your child.
00:08Is this your final decision?
00:14Yes.
00:16We'll file today.
00:18If mediation fails, formal proceedings should begin in about two weeks.
00:30I read that Eric had taken her to Iceland and booked a couple suite.
00:36It was photo 167. I forwarded it to Aaron.
00:40I nearly died giving birth. Theodore was the only child I'd ever have.
00:44I'd never missed a pickup.
00:46Are you feeling sick? Theodore's teacher called. You didn't pick him up.
00:50I'm fine. I just forgot.
00:54Dad, let Aunt Vanessa pick me up. She's prettier, and my friends like her better.
01:01Theodore, who taught you to speak to your mother like that?
01:06It's fine.
01:09Babe, there was a last-minute meeting. Vanessa only picked him up, that's all.
01:13Then let her do it from now on, whatever fits your schedule.
01:17Laurel, are you mad?
01:20I'm sorry. I won't let her get involved in family things again, okay?
01:24Okay.
01:26Two weeks from now, we'd be strangers on paper.
01:34He remembered every small preference. None of it stopped him from cheating.
01:39There's a charity auction today. Ocean's Heart. The sapphire you mentioned is on the list. I'm taking you to get
01:44it.
01:46Okay. Where's Theodore?
01:48The driver and nanny will handle school. If he can't appreciate you, stop revolving around him.
01:53Remember?
01:54Remember?
01:55He married you so you could enjoy life.
01:59Let's go.
02:03Mr. Vaughn, Mrs. Vaughn, your seats are ready. Let me take you inside.
02:07It's freezing. Why didn't you wait inside?
02:10I didn't want to miss you.
02:13Concern escaped him before he could hide it. That was love.
02:16Go ahead. I'll go in first.
02:19Vanessa, you're done here. Go back to the office.
02:26Her message said he'd called her most important. In his bed. Two days ago.
02:31Next lot, Ocean's Heart. Going once. Going twice. Sold to Mr. Vaughn.
02:41Then he bought an emerald necklace for nearly the same price.
02:44Babe, I need to get back to the office. Something came up.
02:49Her latest story showed the emerald necklace, her rich boyfriend's gift.
02:53I sent the screenshot to Aaron. One more piece in the timeline.
02:58Fairytale love wasn't rare. It just wasn't real.
03:03Eric stayed away for two full days.
03:05Then Vanessa messaged,
03:06If I want something, he gives it to me, even your only son.
03:13Babe, Theodore's off today.
03:16I'll have the driver bring him over so he won't bother you.
03:18Okay. Mrs. Wong can bring him.
03:20Two days and not one call.
03:23You really don't care anymore.
03:25I know you've been busy. Want me to come keep you company?
03:29No. I'm almost done. I'll bring Theodore home tonight.
03:34That tiny test answered everything.
03:36Mrs. Wong, Eric wants Theodore brought over.
03:41Ma'am, he's still little. Children need their mothers most.
03:45It's okay. He'll have someone with him.
03:48Vanessa would happily play future stepmother to look perfect for Eric.
03:51Eric, how did we end up here?
03:54When Eric's hired Vanessa, he demanded my approval.
03:58I ignored the perfume and hair until her first photo showed her arm across his chest.
04:04I passed a jewelry store and picked something out for you. Take a look. See if you like it.
04:08Expensive, delicate, completely wrong for me. It's pretty.
04:13I'm glad you like it. I'm going to shower.
04:20Every passcode he'd used was my birthday. In ten years, I'd never looked.
04:25Vanessa had chosen my gift.
04:28Eric replied, she loved it, but it looks better on you.
04:37I wanted to storm into the bathroom and demand why. Instead, I put his phone back exactly where he'd left
04:42it.
04:43Babe, what's wrong? You look awful. I'm calling the family doctor.
04:47Don't. It's just cramps. My period.
04:52Babe, I'm sorry. If I'd known having Theodore would hurt you like this, I never would have let you have
04:56him.
04:57It's fine. I wanted him. My period had ended days ago. He no longer knew me.
05:06Hello?
05:08Something's wrong with the project. Don't wait up. Get some sleep.
05:13Please watch Theodore tonight. Call me if anything happens.
05:22Rachel? Want to grab a drink?
05:24Liar. Did you call the wrong number? My laurel never asks me out.
05:29Prove it, or I'll eat the bottle. Future hotshot attorney. Red wine bottle or beer bottle?
05:39I'll eat the bottle or beer bottle or beer bottle.
05:40Laurel, I thought I'd never see you again. After you married him, you disappeared. Like our friendship didn't matter.
05:46I'd abandoned the one person who loved me unconditionally. Then let me tell you something that'll make you happier.
05:52Go on. I'm filing for divorce.
05:57Laurel, congratulations. Here's to tomorrow.
06:03For the first time since I married Eric, I didn't go home.
06:06No blanket checks. No 6 a.m. breakfast.
06:11Something came up at school. Call me if you need anything.
06:17Vanessa checked on me. My husband didn't.
06:26She was pregnant.
06:28Eric had stayed at the hospital with her.
06:30And she thanked my infertility for making room.
06:36Babe, which OBGIM clinic and doctor did you use? A client is expecting and wants a recommendation.
06:42I don't remember. I'm busy. I have to go.
06:50If my husband got another woman pregnant while we're still married, what happens?
06:54In D.C., the child keeps full legal rights and the father owes support.
06:58With proof, the pregnancy can affect divorce and property division.
07:01I understand.
07:07Why did you hang up on me? It's just a doctor. What's your problem?
07:14Which client?
07:19Company stuff. Why are you asking so many questions?
07:28For the first time, he spoke to me like an employee. He wasn't hiding anymore.
07:37I couldn't let him see me break.
07:44So you're really going to ignore me? Give me the cold shoulder? You've got no heart, babe.
07:47It's late. Just go to sleep.
07:48Hey, why are you crying?
07:51It's my fault. I shouldn't have snapped. Don't be mad. I won't do it again.
07:57That was all it took. I broke.
08:01Laurel, I'm sorry. Don't cry. I hate seeing you hurt.
08:08Go to sleep. You're pregnant. You can't stay up.
08:13Good night, babe.
08:15Relief, not heartbreak, softened his breath.
08:18Then he slept.
08:20Don't move. Your eyes are swollen. Let me ice them.
08:23What time is it? Why aren't you at the office?
08:25Look at you. I cleared my schedule for the week. I'm not going in.
08:28The hearing was this week.
08:30You've wanted the amusement park forever. Let's go today.
08:33Okay.
08:35I'd asked once, eight years ago. Now he remembered.
08:39Progesterone is low? How is that possible? I'm coming right now.
08:46Babe, I have to run out for a bit. Just wait for me, okay? I'll be back soon.
08:50Sure.
08:55Vanessa wrote, Eric doesn't love you anymore. Stop clinging to him.
08:59A promise he never respected was never going to be kept.
09:06He never came back. Not for the amusement park. Not for me.
09:17Babe, I might not come home for a couple of days. Work's insane. I can't get away.
09:25Don't be like that. When I'm back, I'll take you to the amusement park. For real this time.
09:30Mm-hmm. Whatever you say.
09:32Good. Get some sleep. I'll talk to you later.
09:45Snow used to feel like a promise, not a warning.
09:49Laurel, if we get snowed on together, we're basically going to grow old together.
09:54Doesn't that make me your forever person?
10:01You said we'd grow old together. Why did you leave me behind first?
10:08Mrs. Whitmer, you can come in now.
10:10I'll be there.
10:22I organized everything you provided. You don't need to add more. Sign here, and we'll wait for the hearing date.
10:27Do you promise, in sickness and health, to stay?
10:31I wrote my name under petition. No turning back.
10:39Three days before court, Eric still hadn't come home.
10:42Erin already had every photo, date, receipt, and message.
10:45Mom, pick me up after school again.
10:48Vanessa doesn't feel well, so you can do it until she's better.
10:51Theodore, I have things to do, too.
10:53You're not even a good mom!
10:56If Vanessa became your mom someday, would you be okay with that?
10:59Of course.
11:03Yeah.
11:06Soon I really won't be your mom.
11:10Babe, I'm sorry. I made you wait.
11:12It's okay.
11:14In ten hours, our marriage would be over on paper.
11:17When the holidays come, let's take a family trip to Florida.
11:20Somewhere warm.
11:21Sure. Have your assistant plan it.
11:24Why are you always so good?
11:25God, I love you.
11:31Too bad.
11:32Our love has been gone for a long time.
11:40Babe?
11:41I'm leaving.
11:43He barely woke, pulling my pillow into his arms.
11:5010 a.m. today.
11:52D.C. Superior Court.
11:54Don't be late.
12:04After ten years in that house, I left without hesitation.
12:16Babe, why'd you drag me to court?
12:18Our divorce hearing is today.
12:21What are you talking about? Divorce? What divorce?
12:23Mr. Vaughn, stop grilling me.
12:25Start thinking about how you'll defend yourself inside.
12:33The petition alleges a repeated affair with your corporate secretary, now pregnant.
12:37Serious marital misconduct.
12:38True or false?
12:41Evidence accepted.
12:43This marriage is irretutably broken.
12:45Miss Whitweald relinquishes custody of Theodore.
12:47Mr. Vaughn will pay spousal compensation within 30 business days and transfer 30% of his Vaughn group shares.
12:53Judgment entered.
12:57You planned this.
12:58You've been setting me up the whole time, haven't you?
13:01Yes.
13:02And what about it?
13:04Eric, this is what you owe me.
13:09Congratulations. You're officially starting over.
13:11Thank you, Aaron.
13:17Babe, are you really going to be this ruthless?
13:24I had my own place. I slept through the night.
13:27Once the papers were done, I was leaving Washington for Chicago.
13:30The next morning, Rachel insisted we celebrate.
13:35Babe, are you really leaving me and Theodore for good?
13:41We're officially divorced. Why are you still here?
13:44Vanessa and I, it was a drunken mistake.
13:47I wasn't in control.
13:48Drunk isn't unconscious. You weren't dead. Don't insult my intelligence.
13:52Come back. I'll end it with her. Completely. I swear.
13:55You're Vaughn group's public face.
13:57If this gets ugly, can your image and stock price take it?
14:01We're done. Go.
14:03What about Theodore? Are you abandoning him, too?
14:05He likes Vanessa. Marry her. Let her be his stepmother.
14:11That was perfect. Absolutely satisfying.
14:16For the first time, I'm actually free.
14:19Promise me, if he crawls back, don't soften. Not one inch.
14:22It won't happen. I know exactly who he is now.
14:27Her last photo showed Eric passed out against her.
14:30I typed, trash belongs with dogs.
14:33Wishing you a long, miserable life together.
14:36Keep your dog on a leash.
14:44Laurel, the agreement transferring percent of my Vaughn group shares is ready.
14:47Fine. Send the location.
14:53The agreement. Let's sign.
14:56Is that really all there is between us now?
14:58Nothing else left to say?
14:59I don't want any more entanglement.
15:01Let go with some grace before I lose the last respect I still have for you.
15:13Then at least, just finish this meal with me, okay?
15:19Right now, just looking at you makes me nauseous.
15:25The table was beautiful and expensive. Not one dish was mine.
15:29I ate for the papers, not the meal.
15:33The equity transfer agreement?
15:3530%. No hidden clauses. No tricks.
15:44Laurel, even if you still won't forgive me, can we at least be friends?
15:49There's no such thing as forgiveness here.
15:51And I don't want any kind of relationship with someone who has no morals.
15:56The next day, I booked a one-way flight to Chicago.
15:59A clothing studio had already offered me a design job.
16:09Laurel?
16:11Honey!
16:12Get over here! Look who's home!
16:15Sweetheart, why are you crying?
16:16You're a grown woman.
16:18Every favorite dish was waiting.
16:21Did you come back alone?
16:22I divorced him.
16:24What happened? Why didn't you tell us?
16:26After all these years, that's all you can say?
16:28Did he betray you?
16:30We weren't right.
16:31Wait. I'm staying in Chicago.
16:32I'm not going back, and I want no ties to him.
16:37I was home.
16:39I wasn't going back.
16:44Laurel left Washington.
16:45She's back in Chicago.
16:47She's gone?
16:48So we can finally...
16:51Vanessa, go rest. I'm tired.
16:53You promised.
16:54After divorcing Laurel, you'd marry me.
16:57I'd be Theodore's mom.
16:58Enough.
16:59Don't say her name again.
17:01You're not worthy of it.
17:02I'm pregnant with your child.
17:04That's the only value you ever had to me.
17:06Behave.
17:07Have the baby.
17:08Don't dream of anything else.
17:09Eric, you're really treating me like this?
17:13I knew none of this.
17:14I wanted a few days before work.
17:16Come on.
17:17We're taking a walk.
17:18There's a recipe you should try.
17:22Oh, my God.
17:27I'm so sorry.
17:28I ran to the restroom, thought he'd stay put.
17:35It's okay.
17:37He's cute.
17:38You can pet him.
17:39He's sweet.
17:42Oh, I'm meeting a friend at the community center.
17:45Walk home slowly.
17:48Your mom's adorable.
17:50Come walk Luke with me sometime.
17:52Sure.
17:53Thanks.
17:54I'm Theo.
17:55Swap numbers.
17:56I'll send you pictures of Luke.
17:59I realized he lived in the tower opposite my parents.
18:07What are you doing here again?
18:09Laurel, give me one more chance.
18:13Can't stand being dumped, Mr. Valkon.
18:15Come home.
18:16I'll explain everything.
18:19Sorry, Theo.
18:20Take Luke home.
18:21I'll see him another day.
18:23Sure.
18:24See you next time.
18:27There's nothing to discuss.
18:28I don't want to see you.
18:29The news?
18:30I'll go public.
18:31I'll clear your name.
18:33Enough.
18:36I left you to Vanessa.
18:37I'm not your third wheel.
18:39I ended it with her.
18:41And?
18:41What does that have to do with me?
18:44Last warning.
18:45Come again and Chicago's business reporters and city desks get everything.
18:49Your affair, the divorce filing.
18:59Years away hadn't stopped my learning.
19:02My boss had built this label from nothing.
19:05I'm divorced with a son.
19:07Me too.
19:08Dinner after work?
19:13Laurel.
19:14Theo Monroe?
19:23You two know each other?
19:26Mom.
19:31Your rebellious son, ma'am?
19:33That's how you introduce me?
19:36Exactly.
19:37Graduated.
19:38Ignored me.
19:39Started his own business.
19:41I studied computer science.
19:43I started an indie game freshman year.
19:45It took off senior year, so I registered a studio.
19:48Made money.
19:49I didn't want family help.
19:51Another setup, Mom?
19:52You set him up?
19:54I'm not forcing him.
19:56Always reserved.
19:56Few friends.
19:57Hardly any women.
19:58Just his studio.
20:02Had my son already grown used to Vanessa?
20:05Your neighbors?
20:07Theo, drive Lauren home.
20:08Of course.
20:10Luke steals socks.
20:11Thinks he owns the lake path.
20:15That guy, your husband?
20:17Ex-husband.
20:18I know Eric.
20:20How?
20:21The news.
20:22Chicago's business circles are talking.
20:25Mr. Vaughn?
20:26Mr. Vaughn.
20:28Sir, he's having a down-down.
20:30He wants his mom.
20:31Cancel my client dinner.
20:37What are you doing?
20:40Mom's been gone for days.
20:41She won't answer my calls.
20:44You want to see her?
20:45She might still be mad.
20:47He won't.
20:47Mom likes me the most.
20:50We'll find her, apologize, and ask her to forgive us.
20:53Okay.
20:58What are you doing here?
21:03Mom, you've been gone so long.
21:05Dad and I came to take you home.
21:09Where's your Aunt Vanessa?
21:12I have work.
21:14I can't spend time with you.
21:17Is this funny to you?
21:19Laurel, give me one more chance.
21:21I don't want this to get ugly.
21:23Keep coming, and I'll give the media your intimate photos with Vanessa.
21:34Sorry, ma'am.
21:35I have something to handle.
21:36I can't do dinner tonight.
21:39That's fine.
21:39We'll reschedule.
21:45I dropped Theodore back at the hotel first.
21:51Say what you came to say.
21:52I've got work tonight.
21:55You don't even have time to eat with me now?
21:59Then you order.
22:03I'd spent years ordering for him and Theodore, never asking for what I wanted.
22:11What?
22:11What is it?
22:12I'm allergic to seafood.
22:17You never remember stuff like that.
22:19It's fine.
22:20Just keep it short so I can go home and eat.
22:28I'm sorry, Lauren.
22:33Then step out of my life completely.
22:35This is where we end.
22:38Anything but that.
22:39I'll do anything else, please.
22:42That's all I want.
22:44We said it all in court.
22:45Go care for Vanessa.
22:47She's pregnant.
22:47We needn't meet again.
22:48Laurel, wait.
22:50Vanessa and I are over.
22:52The baby, she can take care of it.
22:54We can handle it.
22:55Eric, you're vicious.
22:56She's carrying your child.
23:00When I love, I give everything.
23:02Once I leave, I don't come back.
23:04Laurel, I...
23:07Who the hell are you?
23:09She doesn't want to talk.
23:10Didn't you hear her?
23:11Not your problem.
23:11This is between us.
23:13You're an outsider.
23:14Then stop grabbing her like she's your property.
23:18Let's go.
23:20Okay.
23:27Thank you, Theo.
23:28Don't thank me.
23:29If he comes again, tell me.
23:32We're not even anything.
23:33Why are you so invested?
23:36I just can't stand it.
23:38Seeing you hurt by him.
23:41Still, thank you.
23:43Haven't eaten, right?
23:44Let's grab something.
23:48Laurel, I know he hurt you.
23:50From now on, let me protect you.
23:57Okay.
23:57Fine.
23:59I wanted no more updates.
24:01I thought Eric had gone back to D.C.
24:07Are you Eric Vaughn's family?
24:09He's at Chicago downtown medical header after a car accident.
24:12You're his emergency contact.
24:13Please come.
24:14I'm not his family.
24:16Call his assistant, Trevor.
24:17You can...
24:18He says he only knows you in Chicago.
24:20We need...
24:21I understand.
24:22I'm on my way.
24:24Okay.
24:26Okay.
24:27Okay.
24:30You came.
24:31So I'm still in your heart.
24:33I came because I'm soft.
24:35I'd come for Vanessa, too.
24:37Don't confuse it with love.
24:40I handled everything.
24:42I fixed it.
24:42Why won't you forgive me?
24:44We don't need that word anymore.
24:46I'm not even blaming you.
24:51Because I don't love you anymore.
24:54I just want out.
24:57I've contacted your assistant.
24:59Don't use me for this again.
25:00If you feel guilty, go back to Washington.
25:03Live with Vanessa.
25:04She's carrying your child.
25:05I just want out.
25:29Laurel.
25:30What are you doing here?
25:32A friend's sick.
25:33You?
25:33Same.
25:34Wait two minutes.
25:35I'll walk you out.
25:37Have you eaten?
25:38Let me take you to dinner.
25:39We can go.
25:40I'm paying this time.
25:46The combo for three, please.
25:50Thanks.
25:51Without you, I wouldn't have known what to do.
25:54It was nothing.
25:55What's your plan now?
25:57I own Vaughn group shares.
25:59If he keeps pushing, I'll hit back where it hurts.
26:02Need anything?
26:03Call me.
26:03I'll hold you to that.
26:07Walk Luke tonight?
26:09Work's kept me busy.
26:10He'll be happy to see you.
26:11Sure.
26:15Sure.
26:17Sure.
26:20Sure.
26:27Sure.
26:30Sure.
26:30Sure.
26:31Sure.
26:32Sure.
26:36I loved you.
26:37I loved you for 10 years, raised Theodore for eight.
26:40And you treated me like hired help.
26:43And you treated me like hired help.
26:44I don't want you, and I don't want him either.
26:52Theo booked my meeting with a recommended lawyer near work.
26:57Mom, don't you want me?
26:59I miss you.
27:00I'm not your mom anymore.
27:02Dad will find one you like.
27:04I have 10 years.
27:06I don't believe you'd leave our family.
27:08She can choose.
27:10Stop using your kid.
27:11You're an outsider.
27:12Stay out.
27:14Too late.
27:15I'm in.
27:18Your dad was wrong.
27:19Mom can choose freedom.
27:21Would you give up dad, the big house, and your toys for her?
27:25He chose.
27:26Don't bring him again.
27:30Sorry.
27:30You're fine.
27:31Chicago, D.C., lawyers, media.
27:33Just ask.
27:34Thanks.
27:3610 years how?
27:37He pursued me.
27:38Marriage, a baby, changed nothing.
27:40I don't hate him.
27:42I regret wasted youth not loving him.
27:44I'm cutting my losses.
27:47Would you date again?
27:49Of course.
27:50I'm still young.
27:52Younger guys?
27:53You're in a hurry.
27:55Not to me.
27:59Mom sent me.
28:00Didn't want you alone.
28:01Fine.
28:02Thanks.
28:04Avoiding me, Laurel?
28:05Why?
28:05You barely reply.
28:07Always excuses to skip Luke.
28:09I think we need some distance.
28:12Laurel.
28:14You know I like you, right?
28:18Theo, don't be impulsive.
28:19I've been married.
28:20I have a child.
28:21I don't care.
28:27Theo, I truly see you as a little brother.
28:29I don't want anything else between us.
28:32So, that's a rejection?
28:34Yes.
28:38Then, can I still ask you to walk Luke with me?
28:42Eat together sometimes?
28:44Of course.
28:45I see you as family.
28:48Don't call me your little brother.
28:50I never said I was giving up.
28:52Laurel, I'm going to pursue you.
28:59I know that man hurt you.
29:01You don't trust anyone right now.
29:03It's fine.
29:04I can wait.
29:05I can even stay with you through the divorce case.
29:07I'll wait until the shadow in your heart clears.
29:13I knew that certainty.
29:15I'd once followed Eric to Washington.
29:18I had a week of work in Washington.
29:20I knew time and reality would test that fire.
29:23Love was the least reliable thing in the world.
29:26I was there to choose next season's fabrics.
29:29I'd already negotiated with the clothing company.
29:36Let me introduce you.
29:39Vaughn invests in fashion.
29:40Partners with factories.
29:41I've always supported your work.
29:42Come back.
29:43Use our resources.
29:44Bribery now?
29:45Threats next?
29:46No.
29:47Come back.
29:47Do whatever you want.
29:48Work pays pennies.
29:49The kid needs you.
29:50I'll buy whatever you want.
29:53You can't give me what I want.
29:55I've contacted reporters.
29:57Want cheating CEO headlines?
30:02Laurel.
30:03I lost my parents young.
30:06I had nothing.
30:07Nobody respected me.
30:09Only you believed in me.
30:11I didn't know how to love.
30:13I never meant harm.
30:15One last chance.
30:17Top of your class.
30:18You could have learned love.
30:19No excuses.
30:19This isn't business.
30:21I don't regret choosing you or leaving.
30:22I'm not coming back.
30:24You okay?
30:26I'm fine.
30:27Let's go.
30:28Mom!
30:31I avoided Vaughn Companies, finished work, and returned to Chicago with Theo.
30:35Dinner with me?
30:37There's no point.
30:38One last meal, please.
30:44Say it.
30:46I'm sorry.
30:47I've thought for weeks.
30:48Vanessa was a stupid thrill.
30:50I hurt you.
30:51I'm garbage.
30:52I don't deserve you.
30:54I'm not going to keep chasing you.
30:56I won't come bother you anymore.
30:58I won't come bother you anymore.
31:03If you've thought it through, that's best.
31:06We'll see.
31:07Even if we divorce, can we be friends?
31:10Okay.
31:18Did he come again?
31:19What happened?
31:20He's done.
31:21He won't bother me again.
31:22Relax.
31:23Great.
31:23I'm taking you out to decompress.
31:25Okay.
31:27Theo, your girlfriend?
31:28Knock it off.
31:30Come here often?
31:31I own it.
31:33I'm rarely here.
31:34Your bar?
31:35At 23?
31:36Impressive.
31:38I'm not a kid.
31:39I know what I'm doing.
31:40Date someone at school while you can.
31:42Zero chance?
31:43This feels like a phase.
31:44It's not.
31:45Trust me.
31:47I just ended a failed marriage.
31:49I can't start something new right now.
31:51So you're not rejecting me.
31:52You just need time.
31:55You can see it that way.
31:57I'll wait.
31:58Take all the time you need.
31:59I'll prove I'm not like him.
32:04Follow your heart.
32:06I understood my standing wouldn't change, whatever happened with Theo.
32:08Laurel.
32:10Our products, the team, and where we're headed.
32:13Damn, Theo.
32:14Already proofing your sister-in-law on your five-year plan?
32:17I'd trusted that fire before.
32:19Passion wasn't a promise.
32:22Shut up.
32:25Why so many models?
32:27Not toys.
32:28Character prototypes from our first indie game.
32:30Display only.
32:31They're cool, but wasted on me.
32:34They matter to me.
32:35I'd only give them to you.
32:41Theo.
32:42You're awake.
32:43Pain?
32:44Nausea?
32:44Thanks.
32:45I'm better.
32:46Such a thin coat.
32:47You scared me.
32:48Being sick's miserable.
32:52Sorry.
32:53Not blaming you.
32:54I'm scared you'll get sick again.
32:55I'm not mad.
32:56It's unreal.
32:57Even sick, I cared for everyone.
32:59Nobody stayed.
33:02I'll be here.
33:03From now on.
33:04Work gave me three days off.
33:06My school's winter formal is next week.
33:08Come?
33:09For students, I should pass.
33:10You're not 80.
33:11You don't look older.
33:12I'll go if work allows.
33:14Yeah.
33:14That boy begged me for once.
33:16The afternoon's yours.
33:20We're getting you a dress?
33:22I stopped buying pretty dresses years ago.
33:24Eric called them wasteful.
33:26This one.
33:27Trust me.
33:29Wow.
33:30Laurel, you look incredible.
33:33Yo, Theo brought somebody.
33:35About time.
33:35Faculty?
33:36Knock it off.
33:37I'm still chasing her.
33:38You scare her off, I'm screwed.
33:44Can I have this dance?
33:47I haven't danced in years.
33:48I'll go slow.
33:51I'll go slow.
33:52Stand on my feet.
33:53I'll carry you.
33:54I'm fine.
33:58Hey, sister-in-law.
34:00Stop.
34:01They're playing.
34:01We can leave.
34:02I'll play.
34:03Truth.
34:04What made you like Laurel?
34:06You picked truth.
34:08Her kindness and warmth drew me in.
34:10Then I saw her strength.
34:11Quiet, steady, soft, but she doesn't fold.
34:14That's rare.
34:15I like her.
34:16Seriously.
34:18I'm not that brave.
34:20I stopped automatically pulling away.
34:22Christmas Eve?
34:23Chicago River Wall with me?
34:26Only my parents knew my habits better.
34:28Any wishes?
34:29For work to go well?
34:31For my parents' health?
34:32No, mine.
34:32Laurel's.
34:34Work trip.
34:35You're in Chicago?
34:36How's Theodore?
34:37At home.
34:38There's help.
34:39We're about to eat.
34:39Need something?
34:40Call me if you need anything.
34:43Almost midnight.
34:44Let's watch the fireworks by the river.
34:46Okay.
34:49Merry Christmas.
34:52My wish is simple.
34:55I wish you'd always be this happy.
35:09Lauren, what are we right now?
35:13Can you give me some time to think?
35:15Okay.
35:16I'll wait.
35:16However long you need.
35:22Why hadn't I pulled away?
35:38How do you know?
35:42Mr. Vaughn, stay out of my private life if you want to keep contacting me.
35:48If true, why hadn't Theo told me?
35:52Sweetheart, you look exhausted.
35:54Are you okay?
35:56Is Theo going to Europe?
35:58I don't know the details.
36:00His father has wanted him in Europe for a long time.
36:03Theo hasn't made a clear statement.
36:04I understand.
36:07I hadn't promised him anything in that garage.
36:12Laurel, I'm not leaving.
36:14Even if it's for you, I'm staying.
36:16Believe me.
36:19Theo, if you want to go, go.
36:21Nothing ties us together.
36:23Don't say it's for me.
36:26You don't believe me?
36:29It's not about belief.
36:31We're not together.
36:32You don't need to factor me in.
36:34I'm not going.
36:35I want to stay with you.
36:37Don't gamble your future on a feeling you can't guarantee.
36:42He stopped coming.
36:43I didn't reach out.
36:49I told my dad I'm not going to Europe.
36:53You still don't trust me?
36:56I do.
36:57But I wouldn't turn down an opportunity like that.
36:59Our headquarters are in Paris.
37:01I'm leading the spring line.
37:03If it succeeds, I could transfer to France long term.
37:05I'm never giving up my career for anyone again.
37:12He didn't argue or press for answers.
37:20Merry Christmas.
37:21Come in, come in.
37:22I wanted to say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Whitmore.
37:27I've thought it through.
37:28If you're going to France, I'm coming with you.
37:43Eat more.
37:44Are you warm enough?
37:46I should spend the rest of the holiday with my family.
37:49Please, you shouldn't.
37:56You really mean it?
37:58You're going to France too?
38:00Dad no longer insists I stay in the States.
38:02If you go, I want to try going with you.
38:04I can start over and still build something.
38:07I'm not afraid.
38:09Theo, I...
38:10It's okay.
38:10You don't have to decide today.
38:12I'll wait.
38:12This is my choice.
38:14Theo hadn't crowd me.
38:16By early March, work gave me a short break before the show.
38:20Let me celebrate you.
38:22One night.
38:23I'd expected just us.
38:25To Laurel's show.
38:33I heard you're going to France.
38:36Maybe.
38:37Congratulations.
38:38It's not official.
38:39You're early.
38:40You can do it.
38:41You've always been exceptional.
38:42Can I see you off?
38:43No.
38:44We might never see each other again.
38:45We'll see.
38:46You turned down your dad's arrangement?
38:48France means losing your network here.
38:50Then why?
38:54Because I'm more afraid of losing her.
38:59Theo.
39:05We should go our separate ways.
39:07Did I do something wrong?
39:09No.
39:09Nothing wrong.
39:10This is better for both of us.
39:12Why?
39:13I don't want you regretting what you gave up for me if we fall apart.
39:16I won't.
39:16I used to believe that too.
39:18We were good friends.
39:20I hope you meet someone who fits you.
39:25By late March, I still hadn't seen Theo again.
39:28Excellent work, Laurel.
39:37My visa took over a month.
39:40The day you leave, can I take you to the airport?
39:44No need to make it dramatic.
39:49If those real world ties are gone someday and I'm still waiting, would you come to me?
39:55I can't promise the future, but maybe.
40:02You at the airport?
40:03I am.
40:05May the road ahead be kind to you.
40:07And I hope you find the freedom you keep pretending you don't need.
40:09I'm going to be in the airport.
40:09I'm going to be in the airport.
40:12I'm going to be in the airport.
40:13I'm going to be in the airport.
40:14I'm going to be in the airport.
