00:07Yeah?
00:08Marsh, it's the 15th. I'm changing the locks tomorrow.
00:10I told you I'd have it by Friday.
00:12You said that last month. And the month before that.
00:14Just give me 48 hours.
00:16You've got 12.
00:22400 a month in this city? It's gotta be a crawl space.
00:30What the hell?
00:36Hello? I'm here about the room.
00:43You're the one who called?
00:44Elliot Marsh, we texted about...
00:45I know what we texted about. I was hoping you wouldn't actually show up.
00:51Look, I listed the room because my accountant said I needed a tenant for tax purposes.
00:55I don't actually want someone living here.
00:57400 a month for this place? What's the catch?
01:00The catch is me.
01:02You can't afford real housing, so you're here, hoping the listing wasn't a scam.
01:06It's not.
01:07But I don't do roommates.
01:08I don't do small talk.
01:09And I don't do whatever sad little bonding ritual you're imagining.
01:12You done?
01:13Excuse me?
01:14I've been evicted.
01:14I slept in my car twice this week.
01:16And I just worked a double where a man threw soup at me because it was too hot.
01:19So forgive me if your whole brooding rich boy routine doesn't exactly intimidate me.
01:23You need a tenant.
01:23I need a room.
01:24This doesn't have to be a relationship.
01:26Fine. Move in.
01:28Let's see how long you last.
01:30What did I just do?
01:36Of course.
01:48You've got to be kidding me.
01:53It's 7 in the morning.
01:55And?
01:55Normal people don't blast music at 7 in the morning.
01:58I'm not normal people.
02:10Hey.
02:10He's drinking again.
02:12Found bottles in the garage.
02:13Tammy just pretends everything's fine.
02:15I'm gonna figure something out.
02:17Just stay out of his way, okay?
02:19Yeah.
02:20I know the drill.
02:28How did he even get my number?
02:32This is my living room.
02:35It's a shared space that was in the agreement.
02:37I don't recall agreeing to anything.
02:40What is your problem?
02:43I don't have a problem.
02:44I have a house.
02:46You're the problem in it.
02:47You advertised for a roommate!
02:48My sister advertised I'd rather live with the rats.
02:56Hey, babe.
02:58Yeah, I moved.
02:59It's fine.
03:00The roommate's...
03:01canageable.
03:04You've got to be kidding me.
03:09And he's charging me $800 a month?
03:13He didn't have to come all the way out here.
03:15Wanted to see where my boyfriend's been hiding.
03:17This place is insane.
03:18Who lives like this?
03:19My roommate.
03:20He's home.
03:26That's the roommate?
03:28Roman, this is Jasper.
03:29Jasper, Roman.
03:30The boyfriend.
03:32That's right.
03:33Didn't know you had a type.
03:34Thought it'd be...
03:35taller.
03:38I don't like this.
03:40Him walking around like that.
03:41You're here alone with him every night.
03:42He's my landlord, Jasper.
03:44That's it.
03:44Landlords don't look at their tenants like that.
03:46Like what?
03:47Like they're deciding what to do with them.
03:50Heating's been rattling.
03:51Called a guy.
03:52He wanted $400.
03:53Figured I'd just fix it.
03:55You don't have to.
03:56I was going to split the repair cost.
03:57It's done.
03:58We should go.
04:00Dinner's somewhere that isn't...
04:01this.
04:04I'll grab my jacket.
04:07Stay away from him.
04:08Or what?
04:14Don't start.
04:16Wasn't going to.
04:18Good.
04:20He hurts you again, I'll break his hand.
04:23You don't even like me.
04:25No.
04:26I don't.
04:29Good night, Roman.
04:33I know I was an ass last time.
04:35These are my apologies.
04:38You drove two hours to bring me roses?
04:40I drove two hours because I missed my boyfriend.
04:42Place still feels like a mausoleum.
04:44You sure you don't want to just come stay with me on weekends?
04:47Jasper.
04:49I'm here.
04:50Let's just have a good weekend.
04:55We're having dinner.
04:56Privately.
04:57It's my kitchen.
05:00Smells good, Marsh.
05:01You make enough for three?
05:02Roman.
05:03What?
05:04I'm being friendly.
05:05You're being a prick.
05:06Put a shirt on.
05:08Didn't realize the dress code chain.
05:10He walks around half-dressed and teases you by calling your last name like it's some private joke.
05:14Can't you see what he's doing?
05:16He's my roommate.
05:17He lives here.
05:18He's marking territory, Elliot.
05:19And you're letting him.
05:20That's insane.
05:21Is it?
05:22Are you sleeping with him?
05:23Don't.
05:24Don't.
05:25Don't do that.
05:26Then why won't you move out?
05:27I've asked you three times.
05:28Because I can't afford anywhere else.
05:30You know that.
05:32Let go.
05:33I'm trying to protect you.
05:35I said let go.
05:40Stay away from him.
05:41Or what?
05:42I mean it.
05:43Whatever game you're playing.
05:47No game.
05:49I just don't like watching someone get grabbed in my house.
05:53That the best you've got?
05:55Enough!
05:55Both of you!
05:56Enough!
05:59Why do you keep doing this?
06:01You already know why.
06:04You look terrible.
06:05Didn't sleep.
06:07Boyfriend keep you up?
06:08He left at midnight.
06:09You know that.
06:10Good.
06:11He's exhausting.
06:12What were you doing on the phone last night?
06:14Business.
06:15At one in the morning?
06:17In Russian?
06:18Sounding like-
06:18Like what?
06:19Forget it.
06:21He's not-
06:21What about him?
06:22He came to my room last night.
06:23After you fell asleep.
06:25What?
06:26He knocked.
06:27I opened.
06:28He stayed.
06:30You're lying.
06:30Am I?
06:31He tasted like the wine you bought for dinner.
06:34Why would you-
06:35Why would you tell me this?
06:36Because you deserve to know what he is.
06:49Hey babe.
06:50I was just about long have you been sleeping with Reed Ashby.
06:53What?
06:54That's insane.
06:55Who told you?
06:55Nobody told me.
06:56I read the messages.
06:57You went through my-
06:57He doesn't suspect anything.
06:59That's what you wrote.
07:00Three weeks ago.
07:01Elliot, listen to me.
07:02Whatever you think you saw-
07:03Don't.
07:03Reed is nobody.
07:04He's just a friend who we're done.
07:06You're overreacting.
07:07Sit down.
07:08Let's talk about this.
07:08Like-
07:13You lied.
07:15Yes.
07:16Jasper never came to your room.
07:18No.
07:19Then why the hell would you-
07:20Did you check his phone?
07:21That's not the point.
07:22You made me think-
07:24I made you look.
07:25That's all.
07:25You don't get to decide how I find out my boyfriend's cheating on me.
07:28That's not yours to-
07:29You're right.
07:30Don't ever lie to me again.
07:39You're going to starve.
07:40That's a stupid way to die.
07:43Drink.
07:44Doctor's orders.
07:45You're a hostess, Wint.
07:47I'm the hostess who's seen you drag yourself three shifts.
07:49Have a drink.
07:52So, Jasper.
07:54Cheating liar.
07:55That's all there is to it.
07:56And the roommate?
07:57The terrifyingly hot Russian who pays for everything?
07:59He lied to me.
08:01Told me Jasper slept with him.
08:02Just to, I don't know, blow it all up?
08:04Did it work?
08:05That's not the point.
08:06Kind of sounds like the point.
08:08He's infuriating.
08:09He breaks everything he touches and then just stands there.
08:12Like he's waiting to see if you'll still be in the room when the dust settles.
08:14Are you still talking about Jasper?
08:19You're up.
08:20I live here.
08:22Why'd you do it?
08:23You'll have to be specific.
08:25The lie.
08:26About Jasper.
08:27Why tell me something that disgusting if it wasn't true?
08:29Because you wouldn't have believed the truth.
08:31Not from me.
08:31You needed to see him clearly and you weren't going to, not while he was still touching you.
08:35So you decided for me?
08:37I gave you a reason to look.
08:39You found the real thing on your own.
08:41That's not your call to make.
08:42No.
08:43It wasn't.
08:44Why do you care what happens to me?
08:47You should eat.
08:48There's pasta in the fridge.
09:01Thanks.
09:04You're kidding me.
09:06I don't control the weather.
09:08Billion dollar family and you don't have a generator?
09:11It's decorative suffering.
09:12Builds character.
09:19Okay.
09:21That's actually kind of nice.
09:23Don't get comfortable.
09:24Power will be back in an hour.
09:27So what did you actually do in St. Petersburg?
09:29Before all this?
09:32Tried to be invisible.
09:33Didn't work.
09:34Hard to imagine you invisible?
09:36I was smaller then.
09:37My mom used to paint before she got sick.
09:40Watercolors mostly.
09:41Birds.
09:41She'd tape them all over the fridge and my dad would tear them down when he was drunk.
09:44Finn used to hide the best ones under his mattress.
09:46He's got like 30 of them.
09:47Your brother sounds braver than both of us.
09:48My mother painted too.
09:50Oils.
09:50Big canvas.
09:51She said painting was the only honest thing she did in that house.
09:53She'd let me sit in the corner and watch.
09:55I wasn't allowed to talk.
09:56Just be there.
09:57That sounds peaceful.
09:58It was the only thing that was.
10:12What the hell is that?
10:14A dog.
10:15I can see it's a dog, Roman.
10:16Why is it in our kitchen?
10:17She was under the porch.
10:19Skinny.
10:19Probably out there all night during the storm.
10:21We can't have a dog.
10:22I work doubles.
10:23You barely remember to feed yourself.
10:25She stays.
10:26You can't just...
10:26This isn't...
10:27You were saying?
10:28She needs a vet.
10:29And a name.
10:30Sable.
10:31You already named her?
10:32She looks like a Sable.
10:33She needs an actual leash.
10:34And shots.
10:35And probably deworming.
10:37I'll handle it.
10:38With what?
10:38Your black card?
10:39Yes, hello.
10:40I'd like the platinum puppy package.
10:41They have those.
10:42I've checked.
10:44This is weird, right?
10:45Us walking a dog together like normal people.
10:47I'm not normal people.
10:49Yeah, no kidding.
10:52You slept on my shoulder.
10:53I was cold.
10:54Don't make it a thing.
10:54I'm not making it anything.
10:55Good.
10:59So let me get this straight.
11:00He brought home a stray dog, named it without asking you, and now you're co-parenting?
11:04It's not co-parenting.
11:05Elliot.
11:06It's co-parenting.
11:07Hey!
11:08Elliot, this is Theo.
11:09Theo, my emotionally unavailable friend, Elliot.
11:12She undersells everyone.
11:13Hey, she oversells everyone, so brace yourself.
11:16I'd love to see your portfolio sometime.
11:18Maybe over here?
11:19Yeah.
11:19Sure.
11:20That'd be nice.
11:21Clean bill of health.
11:22Minor malnutrition.
11:24They estimated two years old.
11:25Thanks for taking her.
11:26Where were you?
11:27Coffee with Wren.
11:28She introduced me to someone.
11:30Theo Calloway.
11:31And?
11:32And he's nice.
11:33Asked me to dinner.
11:34Good for you.
11:34Roman!
11:35I'm going to bed.
11:36It's 7.30.
11:41You came.
11:42I was starting to think you'd fail.
11:43Almost did.
11:44Three times.
11:44In the elevator.
11:45Beckett's been asking about your roommate.
11:46Apparently they had some class together freshman year.
11:48Roman's not coming.
11:53You were saying?
11:54Of course.
11:55Of course.
11:56All right, birthday rules.
11:58Truth or dare?
11:59That looks like antifreeze.
12:01Tastes worse.
12:02Rank?
12:03Truth or dare?
12:04Truth.
12:05Who in this room would you most want to be stuck on a desert island with?
12:08Elliot.
12:09He can cook.
12:11Boring.
12:12Declan?
12:13Truth or dare?
12:13Dare.
12:14Done.
12:15She's going to kill me.
12:16Your turn.
12:17Truth or dare?
12:19Truth.
12:21Who in this room do you find most attractive?
12:25Him.
12:26Dare this time?
12:27I dare you to kiss the person you just named.
12:32You don't have to.
12:34Don't.
12:38Good.
12:44That was messed up.
12:45You can't just...
12:46In front of everyone.
12:47Why not?
12:48Because it was a game.
12:49Because Rin was right there and she...
12:50Because you don't mean it.
12:53That wasn't a game.
12:54I've never wanted anyone the way I want you.
12:56And it's inconvenient as hell.
12:58Finn?
12:59What's...
12:59Don't stop.
13:00Elliot, please.
13:01Please come get me.
13:02I'm coming.
13:03Don't move.
13:04Lock your door.
13:09Finn.
13:09Finn, listen to me.
13:10Where are you right now?
13:11Locked in the bathroom.
13:13He broke the...
13:13He broke the door to my room, Elliot.
13:15He just kept hitting me.
13:16Are you hurt?
13:17Tell me exactly.
13:17My face.
13:18My ribs, I think.
13:20He's downstairs.
13:21I can hear him.
13:22I'm driving.
13:24Move.
13:24He's 13, Roman.
13:26He's just a kid.
13:27We'll get him.
13:28If Glenn touched him again,
13:29if there's a mark on him that wasn't there last week...
13:30then we deal with it.
13:31But right now, breathe.
13:35You should have gotten him out sooner.
13:37You're getting him out now.
13:45What the hell are you doing here at this hour?
13:47Where's Finn?
13:48He threw a tantrum,
13:49locked himself in the bathroom like a little...
13:51Finn!
13:54Who the hell are you?
13:55A witness.
13:57It's me.
13:57Open up.
14:04I've got you.
14:05Pack a bag.
14:06Two minutes.
14:07Walk out that door with him,
14:08I'll call the cops.
14:09I've got custody.
14:10Call them.
14:11Let's see what they think about his face.
14:12You ungrateful little...
14:16Step aside.
14:26He can stay as long as he needs.
14:28Roman, I can't ask you to.
14:29You didn't ask.
14:38Don't.
14:40I've walked past this door a hundred times.
14:41You've never once opened it.
14:42Because it's none of your business.
14:44You told me about your father last night.
14:46You drove two hours to get my brother.
14:48At what point does something become my business?
14:50Finn's slow asleep?
14:51Yeah.
14:52Don't change the subject.
14:55Don't change the subject.
14:55Not today.
14:57Okay.
15:00I need to talk to someone about emergency custody options.
15:03Yes, for a minor.
15:04He's 13.
15:05You don't have to do all this.
15:07Yeah, I really do.
15:09Dad's gonna lose it when I realize I'm not coming back.
15:11Good.
15:12Let him.
15:15You bought Lucky Charms?
15:16They were on sale?
15:17No, they weren't pricey.
15:19A box only costs about five dollars.
15:21Inflation.
15:24Come here.
15:28You don't have to.
15:29I know I don't have to.
15:31Get up.
15:33Roman.
15:34My mother painted.
15:35Every day.
15:35Even when she was sick.
15:36Even when my father screamed at her to stop wasting time.
15:38Her name was Irina.
15:39Viktor Orlov had her killed.
15:40Made it look like a robbery, but everyone knew.
15:41My father knew.
15:42He did nothing.
15:43Because Viktor was useful to me.
15:43Business.
15:44Money.
15:44The empire.
15:45My mother was expendable.
15:46I found her in our kitchen in St. Petersburg.
15:49I was 17.
15:50Why are you showing me this?
15:51Because you asked.
15:53And because you're the first person I've wanted to answer.
15:55She was beautiful.
15:56She was everything.
16:00Now you know why no one should be close to me.
16:02Yeah, well.
16:03I've never been great at doing what I'm told.
16:06So, I need to tell you something and you're not allowed to make it weird?
16:10That's literally the worst way to start a sentence.
16:12I like Roman.
16:13Like, like?
16:14Don't say it like that.
16:15I'm not 12.
16:16I just, after Beckett's party, we talked for a while.
16:18He's actually funny when he's not being terrifying.
16:20Yeah, he has his moments.
16:21Would it be weird since you guys live together?
16:24Not weird at all.
16:25You should go for it.
16:26Maybe I'll ask him to that gallery opening on Friday.
16:28Think he'd say yes?
16:29Who says no to you?
16:36You look like you're solving World Harbor and losing.
16:39Just behind on a project.
16:41Brought you a peace offering.
16:43Oat milk, right?
16:44So, I've been trying to figure out a smooth way to do this for about three days and I've got
16:46nothing.
16:46So, dinner?
16:47Friday?
16:48Actual restaurant?
16:48Actual table?
16:49No, we're in moderating.
16:49Like a date?
16:51Exactly like a date.
16:52Yeah.
16:53Okay.
16:54Friday.
16:56See the layering?
16:57She builds up and scrapes back.
16:58It's about what's underneath.
16:59What you almost can't see anymore.
17:01My mother painted like that.
17:02Was she good?
17:04She was extraordinary.
17:06You okay?
17:08Always.
17:13You're up late.
17:14How was the gallery?
17:16Fine.
17:16Wren has good taste.
17:17She really likes you, you know.
17:19She's a good person.
17:20It's not what I said.
17:20Good.
17:21You deserve great.
17:24Roman.
17:26Did you have a good time with Wren?
17:28Honestly?
17:30She deserves someone who's actually there when they're with her.
17:36You didn't have to come.
17:37I'm capable of buying milk by myself.
17:38You bought four things.
17:39None of them were milk.
17:40I got distracted by the cereal aisle.
17:41You're a child.
17:42Says the man who put gummy bears on the counter and then pretended they were for me.
17:44You talked to Wren today.
17:45She called me.
17:46About you, actually.
17:47I told her you're emotionally available and terrible at texting.
17:48She already don't turn around again.
17:49Roman, walk faster.
17:51Next left.
17:55You can let go now.
17:57They might circle back.
17:58We wait.
17:58Where did you learn?
17:59St. Petersburg isn't a fairy tale, Elliot.
18:01You've done this before.
18:02Not the mugger thing.
18:03The protecting thing.
18:06The gummy bears survived.
18:07Let's go.
18:08You're not going to talk about it?
18:08Talk about what?
18:09We took a shortcut.
18:10Nothing happened.
18:11You shoved me against a wall and covered my mouth.
18:12Something happened.
18:13Would you have preferred I let them mug you?
18:14You had $11 in your wallet?
18:15They'd have been disappointed and angry.
18:17Wow.
18:17Even when you're saving me, you're insulting me.
18:19I wasn't going to let anything happen to you.
18:20I know.
18:21Those are yours.
18:21I don't eat candy.
18:22Liar.
18:23I remember what I said.
18:25Roman, that night on the ledger, you said it wasn't a game.
18:29Did you mean it?
18:32Go to bed, Elliot.
18:33That's not an answer.
18:36It's the only one I've got right now.
18:38You bruised my back, by the way, when you shoved me into that wall.
18:42You shoved me first.
18:44You deserved it.
18:47Probably.
18:53Your boyfriend's calling.
18:57He's not my boyfriend.
18:58Then answer it.
19:04You've been dodging me.
19:06I haven't been...
19:07Okay.
19:08Maybe a little.
19:09I can take a hint, Elliot.
19:10It's not you.
19:11That's such a cliche.
19:12I know, but things at home are complicated right now.
19:14The roommate.
19:14What about him?
19:15Nothing.
19:16Just the way you talk about him.
19:17You never say his name without your whole energy shifting.
19:19It's fine.
19:20I like you, but I'm not going to compete with someone you haven't figured out yet.
19:22When you sort it out, you've got my number.
19:28That looked good.
19:29Why'd you kill it?
19:30It wasn't right.
19:32Elliot, what's going on with you two?
19:33Nothing.
19:34Absolutely nothing.
19:35That's the problem.
19:36I thought you were seeing Theo.
19:37Theo just very gracefully dumped me at a coffee shop.
19:39Oh, because of Roman?
19:41Because of me.
19:42Because I'm an idiot who can't stop thinking about someone who communicates exclusively through
19:45sarcasm and property damage.
19:46I don't know what to do.
19:48Yeah, you do.
19:49You're just scared.
19:53Drinking alone.
19:54That's a new low, even for you.
19:56My father called.
19:58Andre?
19:59He wants me back in St. Petersburg.
20:01Says it's time I took responsibility for the family.
20:03His words.
20:04What'd you say?
20:05I hung up.
20:06Then I opened this bottle.
20:08You're not going back.
20:10Why do you care?
20:11Because Finn asks about you every time he calls.
20:13Because this house would be unbearable without someone to fight with.
20:16Because what?
20:18You know why.
20:23Say it.
20:24No.
20:25Coward.
20:27Theo's not coming back, is he?
20:28No.
20:29Good.
20:30Good.
20:34Stop.
20:35Stop thinking about it.
20:40Morning.
20:41Hmm.
20:43You touched my face.
20:45And said,
20:45I know what I said.
20:47You're overthinking it.
20:48Am I?
20:49You went on a date with three days ago.
20:50You let Rin set me up at a gallery.
20:52You don't know what you want, Elliot.
20:54That's not-
20:54Come find me when you do.
20:55You look like you haven't slept since Thursday.
20:58I slept.
21:00Liar.
21:01What happened?
21:02Nothing.
21:02Roman's being Roman.
21:04Talk to me.
21:05He basically told me to figure out what I want.
21:07And?
21:07What do you want?
21:08I don't know.
21:08That's the problem.
21:09He's-
21:09I can't think straight around him.
21:10And Theo's great.
21:11Theo's actually available and normal.
21:12And you're not talking about Theo with that look on your face.
21:16For what it's worth, the gallery thing with Roman and me, there was nothing there.
21:21He was polite, distant, and checked his phone every ten minutes.
21:24I think he was checking if you texted.
21:29Since when do you drink alone?
21:31Since tonight.
21:33Sit down.
21:36Let's play a game.
21:37Never have I ever.
21:38Fine.
21:39You first.
21:40Never have I ever kissed someone just to prove a point.
21:43Never have I ever stayed with someone I knew was wrong for me.
21:47Never have I ever wanted someone I was afraid to want.
21:50Never have I ever lied about not caring.
21:52I figured it out.
21:53What I want.
21:56Not like this.
21:57Come back to me sober and say it again.
22:00If you mean it in the morning, I'll know.
22:04Hey.
22:05Hey.
22:08About last night, you were drunk.
22:11I wasn't that drunk.
22:13Drunk.
22:13Drunk enough.
22:14Right.
22:15So we're just, we're just going to pretend I didn't, I'm not pretending anything.
22:19I told you to come back sober.
22:20I'm sober now.
22:23Then say it again.
22:26It's Finn.
22:28Glenn's trying to get custody.
22:30He showed up at Finn's school.
22:34He can't do that.
22:35There's a process.
22:36He doesn't care about process.
22:37He cares about control.
22:41Aunt Marga, Glenn went to Finn's school.
22:43He's filing for custody.
22:46He hasn't had a sober week in three years.
22:49No judge.
22:50He's got Tammy backing him up.
22:51Playing house.
22:52Making it look stable.
22:55Stable.
22:55That man couldn't keep a goldfish alive.
22:58I need a lawyer.
23:00A real one.
23:01And I can't afford a parking ticket.
23:03We'll figure it out.
23:05Your mother would have burned that house down before she let Glenn take either of you.
23:09Mom's not here.
23:10No.
23:11But I am.
23:12Katya.
23:13I need a family attorney.
23:15Best in the state.
23:16No, not for me.
23:18It's for someone.
23:19Yes, I'm sure.
23:22Just do it.
23:22Bill it to me.
23:23And Katya.
23:24Don't tell him.
23:30I meant what I said.
23:32Sober.
23:32I know.
23:33Three days since he told me to come back sober.
23:36I've been sober every single one of them.
23:38And I haven't said a word.
23:43Who the hell is Katya?
23:45What happened?
23:46You ghosted the group chat all weekend.
23:48Nothing happened.
23:49That's the problem.
23:50This is about Roman.
23:52His sister's coming to visit.
23:53Katya.
23:54He left me a note about it like I'm the housekeeper.
23:56He has a sister?
23:57He's never mentioned her to me directly.
23:58I found out from documents in the house weeks ago.
24:00So he's warning you.
24:02That's not nothing.
24:03It's a post-it note, Rit.
24:05Have you told him?
24:06Sober?
24:07Every time I get close to that door, I think about all the reasons he'll say no.
24:12You look thin.
24:14I came because you stopped answering my calls.
24:16I'm fine.
24:19You're a terrible liar.
24:21Always have been.
24:23And this must be the roommate.
24:25Elliot.
24:26Katya.
24:26Katya.
24:27Elliot.
24:27He told me nothing about you, which means you matter.
24:30That's weirdly the nicest thing anyone's said to me this month.
24:33She likes you more than she likes me.
24:35She told me about your mother's garden in St. Petersburg.
24:38She talks too much.
24:39She loves you.
24:40That's not talking too much.
24:42I'm sober, Roman.
24:43I've been sober every night since you said that.
24:44And I'm saying it again.
24:45I want this.
24:46Whatever this is, I want it.
24:49Katya came here to convince me to go back to Russia.
24:51She needs me there.
24:52For how long?
24:53She says two weeks.
24:54But Katya always underestimates how much damage our family can do.
24:57So that's your answer?
24:58That's not my answer.
24:59Tell me what you want.
25:01You.
25:02Obviously you.
25:03You must be Elliot.
25:05And you must be the sister he failed to mention was arriving at seven in the morning.
25:08He didn't mention you'd be this pretty either.
25:09Sit.
25:10My brother doesn't share space with people.
25:12He barely shares air.
25:13So either you're paying him a fortune or he likes you.
25:15Trust me, it's not the second one.
25:18I said I'd pick you up at the airport.
25:21And miss the chance to meet your roommate without you hovering?
25:24Never.
25:24Father wants you back for the board vote in March.
25:26He's restructuring after everything with Orlov's network.
25:28Orlov's dead.
25:29That doesn't make Father safe.
25:30It makes him desperate.
25:31Desperate enough to offer you full control of the European division.
25:33No strings.
25:34Andrei Volov doesn't do no strings.
25:35How sick.
25:36Enough that the board smells blood.
25:37If you don't come back, someone worse fills the vacuum.
25:39So the sister just showed up?
25:41Like a Vogue editorial with a law degree.
25:43She looked at me like she was deposing a witness.
25:45Did she ask about you two?
25:47There is no you two.
25:48Right.
25:48You just lived together, almost kissed twice, had that whole drunk confession thing,
25:51and now you sit on opposite sides of doors listening to each other breathe.
25:53Totally platonic.
25:54He's here about his father.
25:55Something about going back to Russia.
25:57Back?
25:58For how long?
25:59I don't know.
26:00He won't talk to me about it.
26:01He barely looked at me all morning.
26:02Because his sister's watching.
26:04Elliot, if he might leave, you need to say something.
26:07The real thing.
26:08Sober.
26:09She likes you, Katya.
26:11She told me you're disarmingly genuine.
26:13Her words.
26:15High praise from a Volkov.
26:16Are you going back?
26:17My father's dying, apparently.
26:19Do you believe it?
26:20I believe Katya believes it.
26:21That's not what I ask.
26:22If I go back, it won't be for a visit.
26:25It's the kind of door that locks behind you.
26:27Then don't go.
26:27It's not that simple.
26:29Yeah, it is.
26:30You told me to come back sober and say what I meant.
26:32I'm sober, Roman.
26:33I've been thinking about what Katya said.
26:35About going back.
26:36To Russia.
26:37The board's circling.
26:39My father's losing control of the company.
26:41If I don't go back...
26:41Roman.
26:42I didn't come out here to talk about your father's board.
26:44I know.
26:46If I do this, if we do this, I can't promise you safe.
26:50You understand that?
26:51When has anything in my life was safe?
26:55I don't know how to do this.
26:56Yeah, me neither.
26:58I missed you.
26:59I missed you too.
27:01Katya's flight left at six.
27:02She texted from the gate.
27:03Did she say anything else?
27:04She said don't be stupid, which could mean anything.
27:06With your family, it usually means one specific thing.
27:08I need to go through my mother's documents today.
27:10The ones from the firm.
27:11Katya's files from yesterday?
27:13She left a box.
27:14Financial records connecting my father to Orlov's operations.
27:16If the board sees these, then your father loses the company.
27:19Or he buries anyone who has them.
27:21Where's the box?
27:22My room.
27:23Show me.
27:23These are wire transfers.
27:25Your father was funding him directly.
27:26For 15 years.
27:27Before and after my mother died.
27:29Roman, this means your father knew about what he was going to do to her.
27:33Did Katya know all of this?
27:34She's known for years, waiting for me to be ready.
27:36Ready for what?
27:37To destroy him.
27:38If you take this to the board, your father goes to prison.
27:40You inherit an empire you never wanted.
27:42If I don't, someone worse fills the vacuum.
27:44Katya's words, what do you want?
27:46I want to stop running.
27:48Finn, listen to me.
27:48Has he been drinking this week?
27:49Every night.
27:50But Tammy's here, so he keeps it together.
27:52Mostly isn't good enough.
27:53I'm calling Margu tomorrow.
27:54Elliot, don't make it worse, please.
27:55I can handle it.
27:55You're 13.
27:56You shouldn't have to handle anything.
27:58Someone broke into Katya's firm.
27:59Her office in the city.
28:00Tonight.
28:00The files.
28:01We have the only copies.
28:02Whoever did this knows that now.
28:05I know what my father is.
28:07Do you?
28:07Because this isn't just corruption, Roman.
28:08This is accessory.
28:10If Olaf handled the logistics and your father funded the operations,
28:12he's implicated in every crime Olaf committed.
28:14Including her murder.
28:16Katya spent years building this case.
28:18She wanted me to have it because she knew I'd actually use it.
28:21Use it how?
28:22You take this to the board, your father's done.
28:23You take it to authorities, he goes to prison.
28:25He killed my mother.
28:26He just hired someone else to hold the gun.
28:28I know.
28:28But I need you to be sure.
28:29Because once you do this, there's no version of your life where you have a father anymore.
28:32I never had one.
28:34Roman's sister left him documents.
28:35Evidence against his father.
28:37Serious stuff went federal level serious.
28:39And he's going to, what, go public?
28:41He wants to take it to the Volkov Energy Board first.
28:43Force his father out before involving prosecutors.
28:45Cleaner that way.
28:46Cleaner for who?
28:47For the company.
28:48For whatever's left of the family name.
28:49The company?
28:50The family name?
28:51I'm scared for him.
28:52He acts like he's made of iron, but he's not.
28:53And if this goes sideways, the people around his father aren't corporate lawyers.
28:56They're the kind of people who made Orlov disappear.
28:58Orlov's dead.
28:58You told me that.
28:59And someone killed him.
29:00That someone works for Andrei Volkov.
29:01Then maybe the question isn't whether Roman should do this.
29:03It's whether you should be standing next to him when he does.
29:06I want a meeting with the independent directors.
29:08Not Fedorov.
29:09Not Malkin.
29:09The ones my father didn't handpick.
29:11Thursday.
29:12Zurich, if necessary.
29:15My cousin Dasha has board access.
29:17She's willing to present the documents if I provide a sworn statement.
29:20From here.
29:21Video deposition.
29:22Dasha handles the room.
29:23And your father?
29:24What happens when he finds out his own son?
29:25He'll know it was me.
29:26He'll always know.
29:28Stay.
29:29When I make the call to Dasha, I need someone in the room who isn't afraid of me.
29:33Your sister asked me to expect this before she, before what happened.
29:37She sent me documents, shell companies, wire transfers, all linking my father to Orlov's
29:41network.
29:41I need to know if the board I'm handing ammunition to people who'll bury it.
29:43Three board members owe your father their seats.
29:45Two others are afraid of him.
29:46But the remaining four have been waiting for exactly this, quietly, for years.
29:49And you?
29:49I loved your mother, Roman.
29:51She painted my daughter's portrait the year before she died.
29:53I've been waiting longest of all.
29:54Do you have someone with you?
29:56You shouldn't be alone for this.
29:57I'm not alone.
29:59So that's it.
30:00You press send and your father's world collapses.
30:02His world collapsed the day he ordered my mother killed.
30:04This is just the paperwork catching up.
30:05Roman, once you do this, you can't undo it.
30:07No takebacks, no middle ground.
30:08You think I haven't thought about that?
30:09Every night since Katya brought that box, I've thought about burning it.
30:11Just lighter fluid in a match and pretending none of it exists.
30:14Why didn't you?
30:15Because she died getting it to me.
30:17And because you looked at those documents and you didn't flinch.
30:20You didn't tell me to run.
30:21I want him to answer for her.
30:23The emails went through.
30:25Petrov confirmed receipt, but there's nothing else to do tonight.
30:29Hey, you're not losing them again by doing this.
30:32You're finishing what they started.
30:36Hey, buddy, you're up early.
30:37Dad showed up at Aunt Margaret's last night, bang on the door, screaming about custody.
30:40Did he get in?
30:40No, Margaret called the cops.
30:41But Elliot, he said he's filing.
30:43He wants me back.
30:44He said a judge would side with a father over an aunt.
30:45I promise you, Finn, that is not going to happen.
30:47He sounded sober.
30:48That's what scared me.
30:48When he's drunk, he's just loud.
30:49But sober, he means...
30:50I'll call Margot today.
30:51We'll figure this out.
30:52You hear me?
30:52You're safe.
30:53Okay.
30:53Love you.
30:53Love you too, kid.
30:56Glenn?
30:57He wants Finn back.
30:58He's filing for custody.
30:58He needs a lawyer.
30:59A real one.
30:59I can't afford it.
31:00I didn't ask if you could afford it.
31:01I said he needs one.
31:02The board meets Thursday in St. Petersburg.
31:04Petrov has the proxy votes.
31:05I need the filing submitted to the registry before my father's people can block it.
31:08Then find another way in.
31:09I don't care if it's a back door.
31:10Thursday.
31:11Or none of this matters.
31:13How bad?
31:14Andre's lawyers filed an injunction, trying to freeze the board vote before it happens.
31:17So what's the play?
31:19Petrov's leaking the documents to three financial outlets simultaneously.
31:23If the board won't act, the press will force their hand.
31:27And your father will know it was you.
31:29He called this morning.
31:30What did he say?
31:31That I'm making the same mistake my mother made.
31:34He's scared.
31:36Scared people make threats.
31:38Scared people with private armies make graves.
31:41You haven't said a word in two hours.
31:42That's a personal record.
31:44I'm focused.
31:44You're spiraling.
31:45There's a difference.
31:47Roman's going to St. Petersburg Thursday to face his father and the board in person.
31:51Staying here, obviously, I've got class, I've got shifts, I've got...
31:54Excuses.
31:55You've got excuses.
31:56What am I supposed to do, Wynn?
31:57Fly to Russia?
31:58I don't know.
31:59But I know what you look like when you're about to lose someone and you're already rehearsing
32:03how to be fine about it.
32:05He won't let me come.
32:06He said it's too dangerous.
32:08Since when do you do what you're told?
32:10You look like hell.
32:11Thanks.
32:12Very helpful.
32:13I heard about Jasmine trying to get back in touch.
32:14Wynn mentioned...
32:15That's not what this is about.
32:15Not even close.
32:16It's the roommate.
32:17He's going back to Russia to take down his father's company.
32:19His father, who had his mother killed.
32:21And he's going alone because he thinks that's how he protects people, by leaving them behind.
32:24And you're in love with him?
32:25Yeah.
32:25I am.
32:27Then go tell him that before he gets on a plane.
32:31Don't go alone.
32:32We've discussed this.
32:33No.
32:34You decided.
32:35That's not the same thing.
32:37If something happens to me in St. Petersburg, that's my inheritance.
32:40If something happens to you, that's something I not come back from.
32:44You don't get to make that choice for me.
32:46I'm making it anyway.
32:47Your mother and Katia fought alone.
32:48How did that work out?
32:50I'm sorry.
32:52But I'm not going to stand in this house.
32:54I love you.
32:56And I know the timing is garbage.
32:57And I know you're about to walk into something terrifying.
33:00But you're not doing it without me.
33:06Say it again.
33:08I love you.
33:09Then pack a bag.
33:10You leave at dawn.
33:13You've been staring at me for 20 minutes.
33:15You've been white-nuzzing that armrest was for 20 minutes.
33:18First time on a private jet.
33:20Excuse me for not being casual about it.
33:23I called Margo before we left.
33:26She's got Finn.
33:27He's okay.
33:28And your father?
33:29Margo filed for emergency custody last week.
33:32The hearing's in 10 days.
33:35If I'm not back, you'll be back.
33:37You don't know that.
33:38You're there as my partner.
33:40You sit in the hotel.
33:41You wait.
33:42You really think I flew 7,000 miles to sit in a hotel room?
33:44I think you flew 7,000 miles because you're stubborn and terrified and you love me.
33:48And I think at least one of those things should make you cautious.
33:50Say that last part again.
33:52Cautious?
33:53Before that.
33:54You know what I said.
33:56Yeah, I do.
33:57You look like you belong here.
33:59I do belong here.
34:01That's the problem.
34:03What's the plan?
34:05Mr. Petrov arranged a board meeting.
34:06Emergency session.
34:07I present the evidence.
34:09The shell companies, the diverted funds, the payments to Orloff before my mother's death.
34:12The board votes to remove my father as chairman.
34:14And if they don't, then I go to the federal prosecutor.
34:16But Petrov says the board will fold.
34:18Half of them have been waiting for someone to make the first move.
34:20And your father, he'll just accept it?
34:22My father hasn't accepted anything in his life.
34:24But he'll be in that room.
34:25And he'll see my face when it happens.
34:26Roman, what if he's dangerous?
34:27He's always been dangerous.
34:28The difference is now I have proof and I have something worth coming home to.
34:31Stay here.
34:32I mean it.
34:32Come back to me.
34:35So, the prodigal son.
34:37I'm not here for a reunion.
34:4014 shell companies, 47 million in diverted revenue,
34:44and three wire transfers to Viktor Orloff in the six months before my mother was murdered.
34:49You think paper frightens me?
34:50I built this company from...
34:52You built nothing.
34:53You married into it and bled it dry.
34:56The board knows.
34:57They've always known.
34:58We call the vote.
34:59You'll regret this.
35:01No, I won't.
35:08Well, it's done.
35:10He's out.
35:11Hey, you did it.
35:13He looked at me like I was nothing.
35:15Same way he looked at her.
35:19You're not nothing, you hear me?
35:24He says Glenn showed up at Margot's cottage.
35:27Margot, I need you to be honest with me.
35:29How is he?
35:29He's fine, sweetheart.
35:31Ate three pancakes this morning.
35:33Asked if he could adopt a cat.
35:35God, okay.
35:37That sounds like Finn.
35:38How's Russia?
35:40Cold.
35:41Complicated.
35:42Roman presented evidence to the board yesterday.
35:45They voted to suspend Andre pending a full audit.
35:48And how's Roman?
35:49He hasn't slept.
35:51He keeps checking his phone like he's waiting for something to explode.
35:54Sounds like someone else I knows.
35:57I'll call tonight.
35:58Kiss Finn for me.
36:02Board is shaken.
36:04Three members have already contacted their personal attorney.
36:07So father's allies are scattering like rats.
36:10And Andre himself?
36:11He knows.
36:12He called me at four this morning.
36:14Threatened to have me buried in paperwork for the next decade.
36:16That's his version of panic.
36:18You look like her, you know.
36:20Irina had that same calm before a storm.
36:24What's the next move?
36:25The forensic accountants finish their report by Friday.
36:28But Roman, your father has requested a meeting.
36:32Tonight.
36:33His residence.
36:35Fine.
36:36Roman.
36:37I said fine.
36:43You brought a guest.
36:44I brought the person I trust.
36:46Something you wouldn't understand.
36:48Sit.
36:50I'll...
36:53Airing family business before a boardroom of old men who owe me everything?
36:57They owed you.
36:58Past tense.
37:02Every ruble.
37:03Victor Orlov is dead.
37:04You sort of...
37:21A.
37:21A
37:21A
37:21A
37:21.
37:51.
38:21.
38:52.
38:53.
38:53.
38:59.
39:11I'll have the jet fueled in an hour.
39:13You can't leave. The board vote is tomorrow.
39:14The board can wait.
39:15No.
39:17It can't.
39:19You came here to finish this.
39:20So finish it.
39:21I can handle my family.
39:23I just got you back.
39:25I'm not-
39:25You're not losing me.
39:26But Finn is 13 and he's alone somewhere and I can't be on another continent right now.
39:32Find him.
39:33Call me the second you do.
39:36Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone.
39:38I'll try.
39:40Can you find me?
39:42Mom used to bring us here, before everything.
39:45You were too young to remember but I wasn't.
39:49I'm not going back.
39:51I know.
39:52I mean it Elliot.
39:53I'll run again.
39:54I'll keep running until-
39:55Hey.
39:56Look at me.
39:56You're not going back to Glenn's.
39:58Ever.
39:58Margot's gonna lose the custody fight.
40:00Dad's got a lawyer now.
40:01A real one.
40:02So do we.
40:03Katia's dead.
40:04Yeah.
40:05She is.
40:06I'm tired of being the thing everyone fights over.
40:08You're not a thing.
40:09You're my brother.
40:20Don't you ever do that to me again.
40:22I aged 40 years in one night.
40:25Sorry Margot.
40:27Glenn's lawyer filed an emergency motion.
40:28Hearings in three days.
40:29On what grounds?
40:30Parental rights.
40:31He's claiming I abducted Finn.
40:32Says I'm unstable.
40:33Single woman.
40:34No income.
40:34He's the one with the assault record.
40:35His record's clean Elliot.
40:36He never got charged.
40:37You know that.
40:39I'll do it.
40:40Honey you don't have to-
40:41I want to.
40:42I'll tell them everything.
40:44It's done.
40:45The boat passed.
40:46How'd he take it?
40:47He didn't say a word.
40:48Just stood up and walked out.
40:50That scares me.
40:51How's Finn?
40:53Found him.
40:53He's okay.
40:54Scared but okay.
40:55Glenn's fighting for custody.
40:56There's a hearing Friday.
40:58I'm catching a flight tonight.
40:59Roman you don't have to.
41:00I'm not asking permission.
41:01Okay.
41:02Elliot.
41:02We're going to win this.
41:04You don't know that.
41:05No.
41:05But I know you.
41:06I'll be there by morning.
41:17You look like your mother right now.
41:19Don't.
41:19Lorraine was a fighter.
41:21Do you think she'd recognize us?
41:23If she saw us now?
41:24I think she'd recognize you in a heartbeat.
41:26Roman's flying back tonight.
41:28That boy crossed an ocean for you.
41:31He's not.
41:32We're not.
41:32Don't waste time the way I did.
41:37Filings done?
41:38Everything Katya prepared it's all submitted?
41:39Filed this morning.
41:40Financial records.
41:41The documented abuse.
41:42Finn's written statement.
41:43Judge Harmon has it.
41:45We got the emergency hearing Thursday at 9.
41:48Thursday.
41:48Okay.
41:50Scale of 1 to 10?
41:51Honestly?
41:527?
41:53Maybe 8?
41:54Katya built us a bullet proof case.
41:56The lawyer says Glenn's countersuit is tissue paper.
41:59She never even met me?
42:00No.
42:02But Roman told her everything.
42:04Every bruise.
42:05Every text you sent me.
42:07Is Roman coming back?
42:10I don't know.
42:12You're lying.
42:13You always touch your ear when you lie.
42:16He said he'd be here.
42:17That's all I've got.
42:31Come home you stubborn bastard.
42:43Can't sleep either?
42:45Join the club.
42:46Did the judge's ruling come through yet?
42:48The final one?
42:50Marge's lawyer said we'll have the signed order by Monday.
42:52Glenn's petition got thrown out.
42:54You're staying here.
42:55For real this time?
42:56For real.
42:57Katya's filings made sure of that.
42:58Every document sealed and submitted before she...
43:00She never even met me.
43:01No.
43:02But she knew what mattered to Roman.
43:03And Roman knew what mattered to me.
43:06Is he coming back?
43:08I don't know.
43:11I finish it mama.
43:17Security confirmed.
43:18He boarded a private car.
43:19No statement to press.
43:20And the shares?
43:21Transferred.
43:21Volkov Energy is yours on paper.
43:23The board expects you in Moscow...
43:23I'm not going to Moscow.
43:25Sir?
43:26Sell it.
43:27The company, the holdings, the St. Petersburg offices.
43:29Liquidate what you can, endow the rest.
43:30That's a 12 billion dollar empire.
43:32I know what it costs.
43:33That's why I don't want it.
43:41He'll call when he calls.
43:42Watched pots and all that.
43:44I'm not watching anything.
43:45You've checked your phone 11 times since we sat down.
43:49Traitor.
43:50The custody orders official as of this morning.
43:52Filed, stamped, done.
43:53Finn stays with me.
43:54Guess you're stuck with me.
43:55Worst deal I ever made.
43:58Go.
44:02You said come home.
44:04I wasn't sure you meant it.
44:06I meant it.
44:09I sold it.
44:10All of it.
44:11The company, the houses, everything my father built.
44:14Why?
44:14Because none of it was worth keeping.
44:16And the only thing that is, I almost lost because I was 6,000 miles away dismantling a dead man's
44:20legacy.
44:21You look like hell.
44:23I missed you too.
44:26About time.
44:28About damn time.
44:30Katie, I would have hated this.
44:32What, fireflies?
44:34Sentiminality.
44:36She'd have told me to stop moping and file something.
44:40She'd have been right.
44:41I want to do something.
44:43For her.
44:44And for your mother.
44:45Something that lasts.
44:48Like what?
44:49A foundation.
44:50Art programs for kids in crisis.
44:52Irina Volkov and Lorraine Marsh.
44:54Their names.
44:55Together.
44:59You'd put my mother's name on it?
45:01She made you.
45:02That's enough.
45:03Okay.
45:06Okay.
45:07Yeah, okay.
45:09But I'm designing the building.
45:11Wouldn't trust anyone else.
45:22You didn't call.
45:23I drove straight from the airport.
45:25Get up here.
45:26I'm sorry about Katya.
45:27I'm sorry I wasn't here for the hearing.
45:29I'm sorry.
45:29Stop.
45:30You're here now.
45:31So you're the guy who made my brother stare at his phone like a psycho for two weeks?
45:35That's accurate.
45:36Yes.
45:37Cool.
45:37There's coffee.
45:39Roman Volkov.
45:41I've heard a lot.
45:42Hopefully not all of it.
45:43Enough to know you owe this family a very long stay and zero more disappearances.
45:47Finn's custody is temporary.
45:49Elliot needs a stable address for the permanent filing.
45:51That fancy house of yours still standing?
45:53It's standing.
45:54And it's big enough for three.
45:56What happens with your father?
45:57He signed the transition documents.
46:00Walked out of Volkov energy like it meant nothing.
46:02Petrov says he's at the lake house.
46:03Drinking.
46:04Probably.
46:05Do you care?
46:06I care that I don't care.
46:07Does that count?
46:08Yeah.
46:09It counts.
46:10I need to say this badly so let me be bad at it.
46:12I spent my whole life believing that anyone who got close to me would end up like my mother.
46:15And then you, you moved into my house with your broke ass suitcase and your cereal and your stupid courage
46:19and I-
46:19Roman.
46:19I don't want to go back to what I was before you.
46:21I can't.
46:22You remember what you said the first night?
46:23Let's see how long you last.
46:25I was an asshole.
46:26You were.
46:26But here's my answer.
46:31Elliot.
46:32Roman's hogging the kitchen again.
46:34I'm cooking.
46:35It's not hogging.
46:36That's providing.
46:37If it's that mushroom thing again, I swear.
46:39It's the mushroom thing.
46:41I'm ordering pizza.
46:45Things are short.
