00:10My mom's dead, Gabriel. You can stop pretending to care about me.
00:14You're just my stepfather.
00:18I'm not pretending. If you have nowhere else to go, come home with me.
00:35Noah, wake up. Go to bed.
00:41You're late.
00:43Something came up at work. Don't wait up next time. Now go to bed.
00:56You look like you could use a drink. Have one with me.
01:02You're 18. You're not drinking bourbon.
01:10I can handle one drink.
01:15You're still underage.
01:19Fine. Then you drink.
01:24Fine. Then you drink.
01:38Fine. Then you drink.
01:39Fine. Then you drink.
01:40Fine. Then you drink.
01:40Fine. Then you drink.
01:40Fine. Then you drink.
01:40Fine. Then you drink.
01:40Fine. Then you drink.
01:41Fine. Then you drink.
01:42Fine. Then you drink.
01:44Fine. Then you drink.
01:45Fine. Then you drink.
01:48Fine. Then you drink.
01:49Fine. Then you drink.
02:54How do you expect to sleep after this?
02:58Bring me every draft.
03:00You're serious?
03:01It's midnight.
03:07Your load path is wrong.
03:09If you remove this column, the entire balcony collapses.
03:13Noah!
03:15What the hell?
03:24The whole damn house just shook.
03:29Noah, look at me.
03:31What causes thunder?
03:32Rapidly expanding air.
03:35Lightning heats the air.
03:36The air expands.
03:38And the pressure wave makes the sound.
03:41That's all it is.
03:43The storm can't get through reinforced glass.
03:47You're safe.
03:53I'm having a panic attack, and you're giving me a physics lesson.
04:02Is it working?
04:03Barely.
04:06I'm practically crushing his shirt, and he's still lecturing me.
04:10But I'm still scared.
04:14I don't have a home anymore.
04:17I want my mom back.
04:20My mom died on a night like this.
04:24When she was gone, I had nowhere left to call home.
04:34Don't be afraid, Noah.
04:36This house may not feel like home yet.
04:39But I'll make sure you have one.
04:45Gabriel.
04:49I'm here.
05:00You feel more like family than anyone I actually share blood with.
05:04You control my schedule, my portfolio, even what I drink.
05:09You're stricker than an actual father.
05:15I am your father.
05:18Legally.
05:19But now that my mother is dead, you're not even that anymore.
05:22Let go, Noah.
05:25You really hate it when I get close to you.
05:35You don't understand what you're asking for.
05:38The only way I can stay in your life is by never forgetting that I'm your father.
05:44I never asked you to be my father.
05:47I just asked you not to shut me out.
05:54When my mother got sick, she married Gabriel.
05:58The one man she trusted to protect the theater and manage my inheritance.
06:03From then on, he had legal control over every major decision in my life.
06:08My mother never loved Gabriel.
06:10She married him only so he could protect me.
06:15But I fell for him anyway.
06:18Even after she was gone, loving my mother's husband still felt like betraying her.
06:23I loved him.
06:24But every time I tried to get close, I got the same answer.
06:28Have you finished your work for today?
06:42Why don't you let me to drop the foundation program?
06:44I can learn more at the theater.
06:47You bombed one review.
06:49That doesn't mean you get to quit, get dressed.
06:51I had taken time away from the program after my mother died.
06:56Today was my first day back.
07:18I know losing your mom has been brutal.
07:21But you don't have to shut everyone out.
07:23I've liked you since the first night.
07:26You stayed after rehearsal to fix our set.
07:33So I'm done being subtle.
07:35Take me to prom, Noah.
07:38May I have one dance?
07:51Everybody, back up.
07:52Give him some room.
07:58Am I speaking with Noah Vale's emergency contact?
08:01Noah was injured in an accident at the theater.
08:04He's stable, but we need you to come in.
08:06I'm dead.
08:10How bad is it?
08:12It's a shallow cut.
08:13He doesn't need stitches.
08:14Thank you for calling me.
08:17And you are Noah's?
08:22No.
08:22No.
08:23No.
08:25No.
08:25No.
08:27No.
08:28No.
08:29No.
08:29No.
08:30No.
08:37No.
08:39No.
08:40No.
08:51No.
08:51No.
08:52No.
09:52Ask me. You know she isn't the person I want.
09:59I should be asking why you cared so much.
10:02You looked ready to throw her out of the building.
10:05Your first priority is finishing your portfolio and applications.
10:10Nothing else.
10:14And after I finish them, do I get to choose who I want then?
10:19We'll discuss it then.
10:25So, can you put the rest of this aside and focus on your work?
10:29Fine.
10:31I'll finish the portfolio.
10:33Then you don't get to avoid the question.
10:38From that day on, I crossed off each day until the final review.
10:44Gabriel said we would talk after I finished.
10:49I planned to hold him to it.
10:55I went too far the other day.
10:57But I wasn't joking.
11:00I really like you.
11:03Maddie, I don't feel that way about you.
11:05Don't waste your time on me.
11:09Then tell me what's wrong with me.
11:12Maybe I can fix it.
11:15Nothing's wrong with you.
11:17I just want someone older.
11:19Steady.
11:22Someone who sees through me.
11:24And stays anyway.
11:27I'm too months older than you.
11:29How much older are we talking?
11:33Maddie.
11:35I already want someone else.
11:39And I want him more than I should.
11:41Who is he?
11:44Is he in our program?
11:46I deserve a fair chance.
11:49Wait.
11:50I heard you moved into the Hawthorne estate.
11:53Are you living with your stepfather now?
11:58Did you know Gabriel Hawthorne is attending tonight's museum benefit?
12:01With Sloan Whitmore?
12:04Why would I care?
12:06Because every donor on the theater board thinks they're about to announce an engagement.
12:10She's 35.
12:11He's 40.
12:12No scandal.
12:14No explanations.
12:16Everyone thinks they make sense.
12:18Five years.
12:20The kind of difference no one would ever question.
12:28So, do you think they make sense?
12:31Not a chance.
12:44I have a museum benefit tonight.
12:46I'll take you home first.
12:48Dinner is waiting, and you still have work to finish.
12:51I'm coming with you.
12:53No.
12:54It's not a place for students.
12:58Why not?
12:58Is Sloan Whitmore going?
13:03Is that why you don't want me there?
13:07She sits on the museum board.
13:10It's a business event.
13:12Nothing more.
13:14Then take me with you.
13:17I don't want to sit at home wondering why she gets to be by your side, and I don't.
13:33Gabriel, who's this?
13:36His family.
13:41You really don't know.
13:43That's no avail.
13:45Gabriel's notoriously overprotected Stepson.
13:49I didn't know babysitting was part of the Hawthorne portfolio.
13:55I'm 18.
13:57Not a child.
14:01Watch yourself.
14:03He is not a joke.
14:12Put your bag here.
14:15Take out the pages you need to revise tonight.
14:18You can work here.
14:20Seriously?
14:21Seriously?
14:26This port follows me everywhere.
14:28Stay here.
14:29Call me if you need anything.
14:31I have donors to speak with.
14:57Finished?
15:00I have two details left.
15:04You look tired.
15:06Do you want anything?
15:07A double espresso.
15:10No.
15:11Then why did you ask?
15:14One decaf.
15:16That's it.
15:17That's not coffee.
15:25Wait here.
15:26I'm almost done.
15:32I need some air.
15:39I can't believe Gabriel actually brought Evelyn's son.
15:43He looks like a student who walked into the wrong building.
15:46He's an orphan with a collapsing theater.
15:52Everyone knows a Whitmore-Hawthorne alliance makes sense.
15:55Your families have been connected for years.
16:01Augustus wants the match.
16:03Gabriel is only managing the boy's trust.
16:05He won't risk his family name for a responsibility Evelyn left behind.
16:12I was wondering why the air smelled cheap.
16:14Turns out it was expensive perfume covering bad manners.
16:18Who let the student in?
16:21That's Evelyn Vale's son.
16:23The orphan living off Gabriel Hawthorne.
16:27I almost envy you, Sloane.
16:29It takes real confidence to confuse money with class.
16:34What did you say?
16:36You heard me.
16:37If the Whitmores want respect that badly, try buying some manners.
16:45Careful, Noah.
16:46You don't need to throw yourself at my feet just because Gabriel won't claim you.
16:58You attacked me!
17:00Don't touch me again.
17:03Gabriel!
17:03Gabriel!
17:27Gabriel!
17:28Bye!
19:12I can't do this anymore.
20:00Take 10 minutes, then you can go back to work.
20:31I don't need 10 minutes.
20:33And if you remove it, I lose part of my mother's original stage design.
20:41Then decide which loss you can defend.
20:48Will you still be here when I come out?
20:51Yes.
20:52Even if it takes hours?
21:03Why preserve the original stage wall when removing it would make the renovation easier?
21:07Because easier isn't always better.
21:11That wall carries the history of every production built around it.
21:18The building doesn't need to be frozen in time.
21:21It needs to keep living without forgetting what it was.
21:29You were right.
21:31They asked about the stage wall and the emergency routes.
21:33And?
21:34I made them see why it mattered.
21:37I knew you would.
21:39You really waited all day.
21:41I said I would.
21:46Theo is back from Europe.
21:49Should I be worried?
21:52Usually, Augustus wants the family.
22:05This year, Augustus wants the family.
22:05Remember to hear, Wolfie didn't need to hold a Pizza, huh?
22:07It seems to be fine.
22:07We did not have something.
22:09But it needs to be investigated.
22:09Oh, thank you, Dan.
22:11Andyホvie didn't need to balance the 대�ちは.
22:14You know it's expensive squared.
22:21I think we do not worth it, but it doesn't drink much.
22:21But when ever weband come in.
22:24Letting thementioned home that guitars lose out.
24:05He is my family.
24:07His future belongs to him.
24:09My responsibility is to protect his right to choose it, not to trade it for this family's convenience.
24:23I got in.
24:26Gabriel, I got in.
24:28I can stay in Boston.
24:33You did it.
24:34We did it.
24:36No, this part is yours.
24:47What were you doing when you were 18?
24:51Preparing to leave for university.
24:54Were you already this unbearable?
24:58No, worse.
25:03An acceptance letter is a beginning, Noah.
25:06You still have a great deal to learn.
25:08You waited almost five minutes before turning this into another lesson.
25:12I'm impressed.
25:16It's close enough.
25:18I could come home whenever I wanted.
25:20I wouldn't have to leave this house.
25:22I wouldn't have to leave you.
25:25I can say, Peter.
25:26You know, God's other giant.
25:28It's very good for you.
25:29I'm not starting in.
25:30There are no parties.
25:31I only show the general night.
25:42They've offered you a place in the fall program.
25:45You sent my portfolio to London.
25:47The London school was on the list of applications you signed.
25:49Buried between all the Boston schools.
25:51It was still your decision to apply.
25:54No.
25:55This was your decision.
25:57You're trying to send me away.
25:59London would give you access to restoration projects
26:01you won't find here.
26:03Your portfolio is strong enough to get you started there.
26:06You already chose the school, the residence,
26:08even the financial arrangements.
26:09Don't stand there and call this an option.
26:12I made sure it was a real option.
26:15Nothing has been booked.
26:17The final decision is yours.
26:20Do you want me to go?
26:23Yes.
26:24Because you know I love you.
26:27Because I know you've made me the center of a life
26:29that should be much larger than this house.
26:34Don't turn this into another lesson.
26:36I'm not.
26:37Then stop hiding behind what's good for me.
26:41You want me gone because loving me back
26:43would make you someone you can't bear to be.
26:46Noah.
26:49Am I wrong?
26:50Love means staying.
26:52It doesn't mean putting an ocean between us
26:53and calling it a gift.
26:54If I asked you to stay only because I couldn't bear to let you go,
26:56that wouldn't be love.
26:58It would be selfish.
26:59So you get to control every decision
27:00except the one where I choose you.
27:03The decision is still yours.
27:06You should be you.
27:07You've spent months making sure
27:09there's only one answer you can live with.
27:15Then answer one thing.
27:17Have you ever loved me?
27:18Even a little.
27:19Not like a son and not because of the promise you made to my mother.
27:22What you feel is real.
27:25I have never doubted that.
27:28I didn't ask what I feel.
27:30I asked what you feel.
27:31If I tell you what you want to hear,
27:33you'll stay for me.
27:34And one day you may hate me
27:37for letting you give up the world
27:38before you ever had the chance to see it.
27:40I won't do that to you.
27:43You can always find one more reason not to choose me.
27:45I want you to see more than this house.
27:48I want you to know who you are
27:50when I'm not deciding every part of your life.
27:53And I want you to meet people
27:54who can stand beside you without shame,
27:56without secrets,
27:57and without your mother's memory between you.
28:00You mean someone like Maddie?
28:01I mean someone you can choose freely.
28:05I am choosing freely.
28:07You're the one refusing to hear me.
28:10Tell me you love me.
28:11Three words.
28:12Is that really harder
28:13than sending me across an ocean?
28:17I can't.
28:18Then I understand.
28:20Fine.
28:21I'll go.
28:22And once I leave,
28:23I won't ask you that question again.
28:29You've been staring at that ginger ale
28:31like it personally betrayed you.
28:33It has.
28:36No.
28:37Absolutely not.
28:39You're 18.
28:39And I'm not explaining this to Gabriel.
28:44What if you and I dated?
28:47Absolutely not.
28:48You didn't even think about it.
28:51I have no desire to die young.
28:52I asked whether you'd date me,
28:54not whether you'd fight Gabriel.
28:56In this family,
28:57that is the same question.
28:59He doesn't want me.
29:00That isn't what I said.
29:01Am I really that impossible?
29:03You're smart,
29:04dramatic,
29:05and completely not my type.
29:07Also,
29:08my brother would bury me
29:09under the Winter Rose stage
29:11before breakfast.
29:13Both Hawthorne men
29:14have terrible taste.
29:18Yes,
29:19Noah's right here with me.
29:20Why is Noah at your auction house?
29:22That is a long
29:22and mostly innocent story.
29:24Has he been drinking?
29:26How strict is your definition of drinking?
29:29Keep him there.
29:31I'm coming.
29:32Don't come.
29:35Noah put Theo back on the phone.
29:36You wanted me gone, remember?
29:38You don't get to send me away
29:39and still decide
29:40where I'm allowed to be.
29:42Noah.
29:44That was my phone.
29:46Send the bill to my trust manager.
29:48You should probably prepare yourself.
29:50For what?
29:52He only uses that voice
29:54when he's terrified.
30:03Noah.
30:04Can you stand?
30:09Don't touch me.
30:16Put me down.
30:18No.
30:29You only want to be my father
30:32when it gives you the right
30:33to control me.
30:35Noah.
30:37The second I ask you to love me,
30:38you send me away.
30:39Noah.
30:41You're drunk.
30:42And you're a coward.
30:48You don't love me,
30:49but you still act like I belong to you.
30:59You don't love me,
31:00but you still act like I belong to you.
31:02I never said
31:02I didn't want you in my life.
31:08Then kiss me.
31:19That's what I thought.
31:20You still act like I belong to you.
31:41Noah.
31:42Yeah.
31:48Mr. Hawthorne, thank you for taking care of me.
31:52I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble.
31:53Noah!
32:08Hello?
32:09Mr. Vale?
32:10My name is Arthur Bennett.
32:11Mr. Hawthorne asked me to meet you.
32:14Have you collected your luggage?
32:18Of course he did.
32:23Welcome to London, Mr. Vale.
32:25Just Noah.
32:31The apartment is ready.
32:33If you need anything, you can call me at any hour.
32:40The kitchen has been stocked.
32:41A housekeeper will come twice a week, and a driver is available for your site visits.
32:47Did Gabriel arrange all of that?
32:49Every detail.
32:50He had arranged everything except a reason for me to forgive him.
33:06London was larger, colder, and more difficult than I expected.
33:10But Gabriel had been right about one thing.
33:13I began to discover who I was when no one was deciding for me.
33:18I didn't call him.
33:19He didn't call me.
33:33Noah, how have you been?
33:35I know Mr. Bennett has been reporting everything about me to you behind my back.
33:39I wanted to hear it from you.
33:42I'm doing great.
33:43There are parties every weekend.
33:46Half the architecture department is gorgeous, and people here actually know how to flirt.
33:50I might choose someone and try a proper London romance.
33:54Bob Kualitz.
33:54Bob Kualitz.
33:57Cesar, can you see the moon from there?
34:00The moon?
34:09Yes.
34:11I can see it.
34:13I knew he was looking at the same moon from the other side of the ocean.
34:17It was the closest either of us could come to saying we missed each other.
34:24It's clear here, too.
34:27It's beautiful tonight.
34:29It is.
34:31It's supposed to rain in London tomorrow.
34:34Take an umbrella.
34:35I know.
34:37The person you mentioned, are they good to you?
34:41Yes.
34:43Very.
34:47Dinner with me tonight.
34:49You're kind, but I can't.
34:54Um, someone back home?
34:57No.
34:59Just someone I haven't learned how to forget.
35:03London was good to me.
35:04The people were kind.
35:08None of them was him.
35:15Merry Christmas.
35:16Merry Christmas.
35:19What are you doing?
35:22Skiing with friends.
35:23Are you having a good time?
35:27I'm doing great.
35:29What exactly is so great about it?
35:31Yesterday, we surveyed a condemned music hall.
35:34Part of the ceiling collapsed.
35:36Were you hurt?
35:38Not even close.
35:39It missed me by six feet.
35:40Maybe five.
35:41That is not reassuring.
35:45You asked.
35:46Wear a hard hat.
35:47Follow the structural warnings.
35:48And stop treating condemned buildings like invitations.
35:54Merry Christmas to you, too.
36:01You've got to be kidding me.
36:03Mr. Hawthorne said that if you insist on entering unsafe buildings, someone should know how to pull you out of
36:06one.
36:08He's on another continent, and he's still impossible.
36:14You're different.
36:15Better or worse?
36:17More confident.
36:18You know what you want now.
36:20I'm in London for a year.
36:22We're not the same people we were in Boston.
36:25Maybe we should go on one real date.
36:28Maddie, I need to tell you the truth.
36:31I'm in love with Gabriel.
36:34Gabriel Hawthorne.
36:36The man who was married to your mother.
36:38My mother married him.
36:40So he could protect me.
36:42She never loved him.
36:43That won't matter to other people.
36:45They'll still see him as your father.
36:47I know.
36:49He's 22 years older than you.
36:52I know how subtraction works.
36:54Why him?
36:57I don't know if there was one moment.
37:01I only know he was the one who stayed.
37:04At my mother's funeral, everyone else left.
37:07Gabriel was the only one who waited.
37:09If you have nowhere else to go, come home with me.
37:18Chess, he never asked me to stop grieving.
37:22He just made sure I never had to do it alone.
37:33I don't have a home anymore.
37:38This house may not feel like home, but I'll make sure you have one.
37:45He took care of me.
37:46He taught me how to keep going when I wanted to stop.
37:50At first, I was grateful.
37:53Then I depended on him.
37:56Somewhere between those two things, I fell in love with him.
38:00Nearly two years had passed.
38:03I no longer needed him to plan my days or tell me how to live.
38:09But every night, the world went quiet.
38:12I still missed him.
38:17What's wrong with your voice?
38:21It's nothing.
38:22My throat's just sore.
38:24Drink something warm.
38:25No alcohol.
38:26And stay away from spicy food for a few days.
38:31You're still very good at giving orders from 3,000 miles away.
38:34Have you taken anything for it?
38:36Maddie is in London.
38:37She asked me out.
38:39She's good.
38:41Maybe I should try being with someone I wouldn't have to hide from everyone.
38:44If that's what you want.
38:46Maybe it is.
38:53It's a half not draw scene.
38:55I'd lie, and then the director said my timing was perfect.
38:58I'd have at least in draw a lie.
39:07What are you doing here?
39:09We need to talk.
39:11Mr. Hawthorne.
39:16Maddie.
39:20You don't have to leave.
39:22No, I do.
39:23Call me tomorrow.
39:36I'm going after Maddie.
39:38Why?
39:43Because I told her I'd give her an answer.
39:47What answer?
39:48That I'll try.
39:50Try what?
39:50A date.
39:52A relationship.
39:53Everything people do when they choose each other.
39:55Isn't that what you wanted?
39:56Someone who can stand beside me without shame or secrets.
40:00Do you love her?
40:01You never cared whether I loved her before.
40:04You only care now because I might actually choose her.
40:07Answer me.
40:08Maybe I could love her.
40:13She's my age.
40:15We don't need two years to decide whether we want someone.
40:18Mr. Hawthorne, let go of me.
40:22Maddie is waiting for my answer.
40:27Maddie is waiting for my answer.
40:31Tell me to let you go.
40:33If you kiss me now, don't you dare call it a mistake tomorrow.
40:47You crossed a line.
40:51I know.
40:53Maddie asked me on a date.
40:54If I say yes, what does that make you?
40:56Are you going after her?
40:58Maybe.
41:06Do you want me to stop?
41:09No.
41:18You're jealous.
41:20Yes.
41:21Because you love me?
41:21I shouldn't have kissed you before we talked.
41:24That isn't an answer.
41:26No more tonight.
41:35You still haven't answered me.
41:38Do you love me?
41:40I love you.
41:41I have.
41:43For so long that I don't know if I can forgive myself.
41:46Then why did you act like you felt nothing?
41:47Why did you send me this far away if you loved me?
41:49I never thought your feelings were childish.
41:51But when you fell in love with me, you had just lost your mother.
41:54I was the person who brought you home.
41:56I was the first person who stayed.
41:58I couldn't ask you to build your entire life around me before you knew who you were without me.
42:03You could have told me the truth.
42:07If I had told you, you would have stayed.
42:09I learned how to live without you.
42:12I just never stopped loving you.
42:14I love you, Noah.
42:17I loved you when I sent you away.
42:19That was the worst part.
42:21What happens now?
42:23That is your decision.
42:25Good answer.
42:27I'm not going home with you.
42:30I have two years left here.
42:31I didn't come to take you home.
42:33Then why did you come?
42:35Because you said you might choose Maddie.
42:38And I finally understood that you could.
42:41So you crossed an ocean because you were jealous?
42:45Yes.
42:47Then wait for me.
42:48How long?
42:49Until I finish what I came here to do.
42:52I can wait.
42:58Noah, enough.
43:00I'm 20.
43:01Stop treating me like a child.
43:04This has nothing you do with treating you like a child.
43:10I've spent two years forcing myself to stay away from you.
43:14If we keep going, I won't be able to stop again.
43:17Then don't stop.
43:19Are you sure?
43:22I've been sure for two years.
43:24Tell me if you change your mind.
43:26I won't.
43:42Are you still going to call this a mistake tomorrow?
43:46No.
43:48Never.
43:52In my fourth year in London.
43:56I was finally close to finishing my degree.
44:03Gabriel came to London more often.
44:06Sometimes for two days.
44:08Sometimes only for dinner.
44:10He still waited.
44:12And I kept building the life I wanted him to stand beside.
44:16Mr. Hawthorne, there are renewed rumors that a marriage between you and Sloane Whitemore
44:19could settle the dispute over the Winter Rose Theater.
44:22Is marriage finally part of your plans?
44:25Marriage is something I intend to address very soon.
44:50Are you home?
44:52I just left the studio.
44:54I'm heading to the library.
44:55Turn around.
44:56Turn around.
45:04What are you doing here?
45:09Why did you lie to me?
45:10Why did you let the entire world think you're marrying Sloane?
45:13This is about the interview.
45:15Everything between us is about what you refuse to say.
45:21You flew to London the moment you thought I might choose Maddie.
45:24Now the whole world thinks you're going to marry Sloane.
45:26And you expect me not to care.
45:28The interview was edited.
45:30Look at me.
45:31No.
45:32Tell me you honestly believe I would marry her after coming here and telling you I love you.
45:37I believe you're capable of leaving me again if you decide it's for my own good.
45:47You're right.
45:49I taught you to expect that from me.
45:59Marriage is something I intend to address very soon, but Sloane Whitmore will not be involved in that decision.
46:05Her company released the edited clip.
46:11Why?
46:12Because Sloane knows about us.
46:14She'll claim I used the trust to control you, then push the board to force a sale of the theater.
46:19I'll handle it.
46:20No.
46:23You don't get to protect me by making another decision alone.
46:26You know all me in this we try to foster you here.
46:28They will attack you publicly.
46:30Then stand beside me.
46:35You once promised that no matter what happened, you would stand with me first.
46:45Keep that promise.
46:47When I graduate, we go back together.
46:49Your authority under the trust ends with my degree.
46:52You step away from the veil board, and I present this plan myself.
46:55And after the board meeting?
46:57After that, you ask me what I want.
46:59What do you want?
47:00The winter rose.
47:02Work that belongs to me.
47:03And you, because I chose you for myself, not because anyone made that choice for me.
47:07Then that is what we'll build.
47:12Four years earlier, he waited outside my final review.
47:16Because I was afraid he might leave.
47:21This time, he waited because he finally understood the choice had to be mine.
47:26You waited.
47:28I said I would.
47:30Are you ready to go home?
47:33Only if I'm going home as myself, as yourself.
47:36Then I'm ready.
47:42Gabriel's personal relationship with the beneficiary makes his position impossible.
47:47He acted as Noah's stepfather and trustee while forming an intimate relationship with him.
47:52The trust must be transferred, and the theater should be sold before its value collapses any further.
47:58You're right about one thing.
47:59I should hold no authority over Noah while we have a personal relationship.
48:02Noah has completed his degree.
48:04Under Evelyn's terms, my interim authority ends today.
48:06I am also resigning from the Veil Foundation Board.
48:09I have no authority over Noah or the winter rose year.
48:10Then the theater has no Hawthorne financing.
48:12It doesn't need it.
48:14Phase 1 is fully funded through three independent preservation grants and a university restoration partnership.
48:21And what about your relationship with him?
48:24He was the husband my mother chose.
48:27Now he is the man I choose.
48:38You're waiting for me again?
48:40Yes.
48:41For how long?
48:45Year after year, if you'll let me.
48:47You don't have to ask anymore.
48:49At 18, I went home with him because I had nowhere else to go.
48:54At 22, I could go anywhere.
48:57I chose home.
