Adrien Cross. I slept with my nemesis.

Oh no.

Impossible. How could the suppressors

have failed?

What is that scent?

[music]

Get out.

[music]

Your pherommones are all over this

floor.

What business is that of yours? [music]

If another alpha finds you like this,

you'll only be in more trouble. So,

[music] you're planning to play the good

Samaritan?

Do I look like one?

You'd better never find out what

happened last night.

[laughter]

[snorts]

Find him.

This can't be.

>> Why is it you? I should be asking you

that.

>> Cross and Vale will suspend their

commercial litigation on one condition.

Have you all lost your minds? The

wedding will take place within 3 months.

I refuse. For once, we agree.

refuse and Cross withdraws from the

joint venture. Valley will lose the

North Harbor development rights as

[music] well.

So, for the sake of two companies, I

have to marry him. You make it sound as

if I'm dying to marry you. I'm [music]

not interested in betas for starters.

Don't worry. Even if you suddenly

presented as an Omega, [music] I still

wouldn't be interested.

still got that smart mouth. Did you meet

me yesterday?

We can get married.

But let's make one thing clear. We stay

out of each other's lives. Exactly what

I want. Especially our love lives. I met

an Omega last night.

I'm going to find [music] him.

It was just a one night stand. Why do

you care so much?

At least finding him gives me more to

look forward to than marrying you.

Then I hope you find him soon.

First, our assets remain separate. Fine.

[music]

Second, we stay out of each other's

private relationships. Of course. Third,

no permanent marking.

You're a beta. Why are you worried about

being marked?

Just covering every contingency.

Don't worry, I'd rather sleep on the

couch.

>> Do you confirm that you are entering

into this marriage of your own free

[music] will?

>> No. Yes.

>> The North Harbor Project?

>> Yes. [music]

One year? What do you mean? We divorce

after [music] one year. Exactly what I

want.

>> Where's my room?

>> The old master ordered that the

newlyweds share a room.

>> The bed [music] is mine. You take the

couch.

Is making a guest sleep on the couch the

cross family's idea of [music]

hospitality?

You take it.

You dare order [music] me around. If you

can't understand me, cut your ears off.

The couch is over there. Dream on.

Was that really necessary? [music]

I was afraid I'd catch something filthy.

Funny you didn't [music] try to dodge me

just now.

Half each. [music]

Cross the line and you're out. You

wouldn't dare. Try me tonight.

Wait.

[music]

What now?

What [music] are you doing?

Don't move.

We signed the agreement only hours ago,

and you've already forgotten no

approaching without [music] consent.

You're only 2 years older than me.

Is your memory already so bad [music]

that I need to paste the clauses on your

forehead?

[snorts] Don't flatter yourself. I

wasn't [music] trying to touch you.

Then why are you so close? Checking me

for [music] fleas.

What was that scent on you just now?

What else could it be? Laundry

detergent. I'm a beta. I don't have

pherommones.

I've never [music] smelled a detergent

like that. That's because you have no

taste.

Couldn't [music] sleep last night. None

of your business.

>> The circles under your eyes are

practically at your chin.

[music]

Why are you staring at me?

>> [music]

>> finally realized I'm better looking and

more capable than you. I'm wondering how

anyone can be this narcissistic.

>> The [music] cameras on the 15th floor

were down from 9 to 10 on the night of

the gala.

>> What about the guest list?

>> No Omega matched the criteria. [music]

>> Should we keep looking?

>> Keep looking. [music]

One Julian is annoying enough. Now the

[music] family has to make things worse.

I just want to find this person.

>> How is married [music] life?

>> What are you doing? Play along. They're

all watching.

He's all bark. [laughter]

What's wrong?

>> His stomach's been acting up lately.

I'll go check on him.

[cough]

[panting]

>> I fed you one bite of beef. Was it

really disgusting enough [music] to make

you sick? I'm glad you're self-aware.

I was helping [music] you deal with them

back there. Who asked you to take it

upon yourself? What else was I supposed

to do? Let you keep acting like my enemy

in front of the whole family?

>> We are enemies.

Julian, don't touch me.

You're still trying to tough it out in

this state. [music] I can walk by

myself. You're white as a sheet.

[music] Stay upstairs tonight. What

about the family? I'll handle them.

Don't get the wrong [music] idea. I just

don't want rumors that I starved my

husband into the hospital during our

first week of marriage. [music]

You look terrible and you still drove

yourself. Save the lecture.

The pheromone imbalance is getting

worse. How long has this been going on?

Ever since that night 6 weeks ago.

Something's been wrong ever since.

You wouldn't be. I don't know.

Let's get you examined.

You're 6 weeks [music] pregnant.

The fetus is currently healthy, but

long-term use of highdose suppresses has

disrupted your pherommones. You must

stop taking them.

>> 6 weeks. It was that night.

[music] What are you going to do?

I'm keeping the baby.

Does Adrien [music] know? Does Adrien

know? No. You're married to him now.

[music]

That's why I'm going to tell him.

I [music] was the one with him that

night, and the baby is his. Are you sure

he'll believe you? I have to give

[music] him one chance.

I'll tell him everything tonight. What

if Adrien [music] won't accept it?

That's his problem.

You're not alone anymore.

>> If [music] this baby needs a father, I

can

>> Evan, that's not necessary.

What are you doing at an obstetrics

clinic?

Good. You're here.

I'm pregnant.

You're [music] pregnant?

Otherwise, would I be taking a walk at

an obstetrics clinic?

You're an [music] omega? Surprised?

You've hidden this from everyone for all

these years? Was I obligated [music] to

tell you? I'm your husband. A

contractual marriage. You were the one

who said we don't interfere [music] with

each other.

Who's the father? [music]

You

Julian, if you're going to lie, [music]

at least make it believable. I said it's

yours. After we got married, did I ever

touch you? [music] No. Then tell me, how

can this child be mine?

Adrien, he can't take any more stress

right now. You don't get a say here. I'm

his doctor. Just a doctor.

Enough.

Believe it or not, it's up to you.

Let go. You're like this and you still

want to drive yourself? Evan [music]

will take me. No need.

You don't even believe the [music] child

is yours. Whether the child is mine is

another matter.

You're still my husband right now.

Get in.

What's this? The medication [music] Evan

prescribed.

I thought you couldn't stand him. I hate

him. [music] Not the medicine. The

medicine wasn't standing in a parking

garage trying to steal someone from me.

Steal someone? Don't nitpick [music] my

words.

Take it. I'm not used to you being so

considerate all of a sudden. Don't

worry. Neither am I.

The baby isn't [music] yours. You don't

need to care this much. When did I ever

say it wasn't mine. You practically had

I don't believe you written across

[music] your forehead.

I just want to know how someone I've

never [music] slept with is carrying my

child. Then take your time figuring it

out.

Until [music] you do, stop acting like

you're the victim.

[snorts]

Feel like throwing up again?

Do you stay up at night just to spy on

your pregnant husband? The way you

rummage through the fridge could wake

the dead.

>> I'm hungry.

What do you want to eat?

You can cook. It's just noodles. The

crosshair isn't that useless.

What's that face for? Too much salt.

Then don't eat it.

I was giving you feedback. I never said

I wanted to throw it out. Why eat it if

it's bad? I'm hungry.

[snorts]

Adrien,

what are you complaining about now?

Thank you.

Did you just thank me? Are you going to

record it and play it on a loop as your

ringtone?

>> It's just the first time I've realized

you can say those words. Pretend I

didn't.

Give [music] it back. The doctor said to

avoid spicy food. What's it got to do

with you?

>> You're my legal spouse now, [music] and

you're clearly terrible at taking care

of yourself.

Julian, what's wrong? [music] Stay back.

Your face is burning red and you're

telling [music] me to stay back. Are

your pherommones unstable because of the

pregnancy? The doctor said I can't keep

using suppresses.

I'm fine. You're swaying like a flagpole

about to tobble. Stop pretending you're

fine. Your bedside manner is truly

touching. I wasn't trying to comfort

you.

>> [sighs and gasps]

>> Your pherommones.

Is there a problem? Don't stop.

I meant the pherommones. I know. What

did you think I was thinking? Nothing

good ever goes on in that head of yours.

>> Hello. Are you [music] feeling any

better?

>> Much better. Your doctor is certainly

dedicated. At least better than some

people who only know how to make

sarcastic remarks.

>> A high-ranking Omega.

The Veale family concealed this from the

Cross family for years and passed off an

Omega as a bey [music] to marry into

this family. What exactly are you trying

to do? First, I'm not merchandise.

Second, this is my private medical

information.

>> Private? You're pregnant? One month into

the marriage and 6 weeks pregnant. Who

is the father?

>> That's none of your business.

>> You're standing on cross family

property.

That doesn't make this an interrogation

room.

>> Julian Vale.

[music]

What are you shouting about?

>> The entire estate can hear you.

>> Good. [music] You're here. Sign it.

>> What is it?

>> An agreement to dissolve the marriage.

I can handle this myself.

>> Shut up.

I'm not helping you.

>> I haven't even said anything.

The Cross family has no place for an

Omega who falsified his designation

[music] and is carrying a child of

unknown paternity.

Then why didn't you think [music] it

through before forcing me to marry him?

>> You don't even know whoathered that

child.

That's between him and me.

No one else gets to decide what happens

to my husband.

Why did you help me back there?

Did I help you? You tore up the

agreement. Do you need me to remind you?

I just hate other people making

decisions [music] for me. That's the

only reason.

There's another.

[crying]

You bear the cross name now.

If they want to throw my husband out,

[music] they have to go through me

first.

That almost sounded human. Don't get

sentimental. [music] Don't worry, I'm

nowhere near that point.

What are you smiling [music] at? Who was

smiling?

Where's my coffee? Gone. I asked where

it went, not whether it died. I disposed

of it. What gave you the right? The

doctor said to cut back on coffee. The

doctor doesn't live here.

When the doctor's not here, you're under

my care.

[music] Give it back. No.

Adrien, even calling me husband won't

work today. [music]

Don't you think you're getting a little

carried away? [clears throat]

You're the one who said my name so

suggestively. [music] There's something

wrong with your ears. That's mine. It's

mine now.

>> [snorts]

>> Are you fighting with that button?

off.

You're still wearing your old size.

[music] It's only been a few weeks. It

can't be that dramatic. Don't squeeze

yourself into it. I can do it. My

[bell and music] If you could, you

wouldn't be strangling yourself red in

the face.

There.

your phone.

I hear it.

Still [music] looking for that person?

Of course.

That's quite some devotion. At least it

[music] hasn't lasted as long as some

people's secrets. Then I hope you find

them soon.

Only 12 people entered the VIP area on

the 15th floor that night.

[music] Him. Mr. Julian was at the hotel

that night, too.

But he was registered [music] under a

certain personal profile. We now know

the registration details were not

accurate.

[music]

What is it? the charity gala 6 weeks

ago.

What time [music] did you leave? Since

when does Crossgroup investigate my

whereabouts? Answer me. I don't

remember.

Your name is on the VIP elevator log. So

that Omega was there, too.

Adrien,

actually that night.

Do you know him? You helped conceal his

identity, didn't you?

I don't know him.

Then why were you [music] nervous just

now? Because this pose makes you look

like you're interrogating a suspect.

Back off. [music] You want to find him

that badly? Why?

I don't know. [music] I just can't

forget that scent.

Then keep looking.

What if I [music] find him? That's your

business.

If you're that uncomfortable, you can

wait outside.

>> Who says I'm uncomfortable?

>> You've looked at the door four times

since you sat down. [music]

>> I'm just not used to hospitals.

>> Just admit you're scared.

>> Shut up.

>> Everything is developing well.

>> [music]

>> Why are you looking at me? I wasn't

looking at you.

>> Let me see. It's not your child. Why do

you care?

>> The child isn't mine, but the child's

father [music] is shameless.

It's this small. It's still early.

Was that really the baby's heartbeat?

[music]

Yes.

Can the baby hear us yet? Aren't you

asking [music] a few too many questions?

I'm just curious.

[music]

>> Aren't you coming? Go wait in the car.

>> What are you hiding?

>> Nothing.

>> Your jacket is bulging.

>> Shut up.

Keep your hands to yourself. Why so

nervous? What kind of shameful secret

are you hiding in there?

>> What? Haven't you always despised me? I

never said I liked you.

Two accidents. The Cross family [music]

certainly has them often.

Get in. We still have the family dinner

tonight. Relax. I won't make [music] you

take responsibility for one kiss. Say

one more word and you can walk. Huh?

>> You told me to walk a minute ago and now

you're playing the gentleman. I don't

want you falling and blaming me again.

[music] Rest assured, I'm not so frail

that I need your help. I heard Julian is

pregnant, but you've only been married a

month.

I see you [music] haven't completely

forgotten your elementary school math.

It's just that an alpha has been

accompanying you to the hospital lately.

>> Evan, right?

So, is this child really yours?

>> Adrien, enough.

He is my husband. Whoever fathered the

child, none of you have the right to sit

here and interrogate him. Julian, I'm

not feeling well.

>> Wait, I already shut them up. Let go.

They [music] asked whether the baby was

yours. Julian, you thought about it for

3 seconds.

You weren't nearly so cautious when you

kissed me in the parking lot. Those are

two different things. Of course, they

are.

A kiss can be impulsive. It doesn't

require you to trust me. I understand.

What do you mean?

>> Nothing.

I just won't explain myself anymore.

You're serious?

What? You think I'd pack luggage at net

night for exercise?

We agreed on one year. I'll pay the

penalty.

You're divorcing me over those 3 seconds

tonight?

You still don't understand. Then make me

understand. [music] I've made myself

clear enough. I won't explain myself

anymore.

You're not going anywhere today. Move.

You're pregnant. [music] Where do you

think you're going?

What business is it of yours? [music]

I'm your husband. [gasps and sighs]

You remember that now?

Why didn't you remember it when I told

you the baby was yours? How was I

supposed to believe you? [music]

We haven't slept together once since we

got married.

I saw Evan taking you to the hospital,

supporting [music] you,

and saying he was willing to be the

child's father.

So, you'd rather believe half a sentence

than one complete sentence [music] from

me?

You cooked noodles for me at midnight,

held me while you soothed my

pherommones, came with me to hear the

baby's heartbeat. A few hours ago, you

kissed me twice. [sighs]

But when someone asked if the baby

[music] was yours, you needed 3 seconds

to think.

Adrien Cross, you really have a way of

showing someone [music] you care.

Who said I care about you?

Good.

>> [snorts]

[sighs]

>> I dare you [music] to take it off. You

can have it back.

If you leave now, are you going to Evan?

Think [music] whatever you want.

Fine. [music]

If you want to leave, then leave.

I won't acknowledge this child.

Remember

what you said today.

Then don't ever acknowledge the child.

Mr. Adrien, you also have a matchmaking

dinner tonight.

>> Cancel it.

>> This is the 12th one you [music] have

canceled this year.

>> Is this the restroom?

>> Clearly not.

>> Then your company has terrible signs.

>> Wait,

[music]

what is your name?

Shouldn't you introduce yourself before

asking someone else's name?

[snorts]

>> Adrien Cross.

>> Oh, so you're that badtempered Adrien.

[music]

>> Who told you that?

>> Daddy.

>> Who is your daddy? Leo.

>> Daddy.

>> How old is he? None of your business.

Julian. 5 years apart. [music] And

that's how politely you greet me. Then

you should consider yourself lucky. I

wasn't planning to say a single word to

you.

[music]

>> Stop.

>> 5 years [music] and you still haven't

lost the habit of ordering people

around. How old is he exactly?

4 and 1/2.

I won't acknowledge this child. Fine,

then don't ever acknowledge him. 4 and

1/2. What? Do you need a remedial lesson

in elementary school maths?

Why do you keep staring at me?

>> You look, don't read too much into it.

[music] He has nothing to do with you. I

haven't even asked anything yet. Your

face is easy to read.

>> Who is the child's father?

You asked once 5 years ago. I already

gave you the answer. Julian, you didn't

believe me.

So, don't ask now.

>> Daddy, why does he keep following us?

Maybe he's getting old and has no sense

of direction. I'm only [music] 35.

At least your hearing still works. I'll

drive you. No need. I only

[music]

Adrien, 5 years ago, you said you would

not acknowledge this child.

I'm simply helping you keep your [music]

promise.

Leo,

Uncle Evan.

Who invited you? It's a public

restaurant. Mr. Cross still has no sense

of boundaries. And you're still as fond

as ever of looking after someone else's

husband. Ex-husband. [music]

>> Daddy, is he your ex-husband?

>> He was.

>> Your taste took a dip once.

>> Is that funny?

>> Very.

>> Uncle Evan, where's the game you

promised me?

>> Uncle?

>> What else?

>> You're not trying to steal my uncle, are

you?

>> I'm not interested.

I only want to know who your biological

father is.

>> Daddy says it doesn't matter.

>> Then Evan,

>> Uncle Evan was there while I grew up.

[music]

>> What are you looking at? Nothing.

>> Leo [music] Valet, 4 and 1/2 years old.

His birth was registered in Canada.

>> Date of birth. [music]

>> Should I keep investigating or run a

kinship [music] investigation?

>> No.

>> But you've been investigating for 3

days.

>> I said no.

>> Impossible.

If he really [music] is,

the baby is yours.

>> [music]

>> You again

>> not welcome.

>> People who aren't welcome generally

don't ask twice.

>> What month were you born?

>> Are you interrogating me for my

household registration?

>> Just asking.

>> Daddy says to be careful when strangers

ask for personal information.

>> I'm not a stranger.

>> You're daddy's ex-husband. [music]

>> Do you know who your father is?

>> Yes.

Who?

>> Daddy. [music]

>> I mean, the other enough.

>> Are you interrogating a 4-year-old?

>> I'm only asking a few questions. Then

ask your lawyer, [snorts] Julian. I have

a right to know.

>> No, you don't.

What if I'm his father? What if?

>> 5 years ago, I gave you a definite

[music] answer.

Don't come to me now talking about

rights on the basis of an if.

>> Are you really my dad?

>> I

>> then where were you before?

>> Let's go.

>> I want to see Leo.

You've [music] already seen him today. I

mean alone. No.

If I'm his father right now, [music] you

only suspect that you're his biological

father.

Don't dress suspicion up as a right.

Then how am I supposed to prove it? I

never asked you to prove anything.

Are you planning to keep me away from

him forever? [music]

Leo is 4 and a half. You want to be his

father today because you finally seen

him. But where were you when he needed a

father?

I didn't know. I told you.

At least let [music] me say something to

him.

Do not go to his kindergarten,

investigate his address, or contact him

behind [music] my back. Julian,

you rejected him 5 years ago. You have

no right to make a child process [music]

your regret for you now.

Cross that line again and my lawyer will

speak to you.

Then can I at least know what he likes

and what he's afraid of? Those aren't

answers [music] for you to memorize

before an exam.

If you want to know him, first prove

that you can respect the word no.

[snorts]

just to save her.

>> That badteered man is here, too.

>> I saw him.

>> Can I go see the moving T-Rex?

>> Uncle Evan can take you,

>> but he has the audio guide.

>> 10 minutes. I'll be right beside you.

>> Okay.

Why aren't you asking strange questions

today?

>> Because your daddy said I couldn't.

>> You're surprisingly obedient.

>> Time's up. Thank [snorts] you. Don't

misunderstand. I won't let my hatred of

you decide who Leo may or may not speak

to. But this doesn't mean I recognize

you as his father, and it doesn't

guarantee a next time.

[music]

Do you want to keep going or go back to

daddy?

>> Keep going, but don't walk so fast.

>> Okay.

[music]

>> Send the entire set to the Veil

residence. Cancel it. It's just a gift

to you. It's a gift to a child. It's a

debt. I missed 4 years. At least let my

makeup. You can't.

You can buy this entire store, but you

can't buy his first fever, his first

steps, or the night he asked why

everyone else had a father. I'm not

trying to buy his affection. Then learn

to express your guilt without money.

>> You're not buying it.

>> No.

>> Why not?

>> Because just because I want to give you

something doesn't mean you have to

accept it.

>> Then you can have this. It's free.

>> Let's go.

>> He clearly likes it. Liking something

doesn't mean he has to own it. And I

don't want him thinking that accepting

something from you means he owes you

affection. Then do I owe him something

in return for accepting his gift? A

thank you is enough.

Thank you. I'll keep it safe.

Who would Leo like to give it to?

>> Daddy gets to see it first.

>> Does it look very real?

It looks very real.

>> Why do you look like you're going to

cry?

>> Because I missed [music] so much.

>> Enough. Your regret is [music] yours to

bear. Don't make Leo comfort you. I

didn't mean to. A child is not your

ticket to redemption.

Leo, I'm sorry.

>> Why are you apologizing to me?

>> Because I made you uncomfortable just

now. I'm not asking you [music] to

forgive me for anything else.

>> Then I can forgive that.

>> We're going home.

>> Don't be sad in front of me next time. I

don't comfort grown-ups.

>> Okay. Grown-ups are responsible [music]

for their own emotions.

>> Then you can learn from Uncle Evan. He's

very good at taking care of himself.

>> I'll take that advice. You heard him.

Leo [music] doesn't owe you

understanding. I'll remember.

>> Why are you standing outside?

>> Your daddy hasn't given me permission

[music] to come in.

>> What if I give you permission?

>> 15 minutes. Keep the door open.

>> Could you do this when you were little?

>> No. When I was little, I only knew how

to take things apart. [snorts]

>> No wonder you have such a bad temper.

>> There's still one side left.

>> If you want to, [music] we can finish it

next time.

>> He's not so bad today.

>> He doesn't dislike me.

>> So

maybe I can.

>> No, you can't.

Leo liking [music] you is his feeling.

It doesn't mean I trust you. and it

certainly doesn't grant you the status

of his father.

How long will [music] it take? Don't ask

me for a deadline. Someone who truly

won't leave doesn't start by calculating

how long persistence remains worthwhile.

[music]

What if he asks for a next time? I'll

judge the setting, timing, and his

emotional state. You don't get to

capitalize on the moment. Okay,

>> I'll leave the last side for now.

[music]

>> Why? to see whether you still remember

how next time.

>> I won't take Leo's sample behind your

back. If we do this, I want your

consent.

>> You finally learned to ask first.

I need certainty.

I was certain 5 years ago.

>> Are you afraid of the result?

I'm afraid you'll get the result [music]

and think one sheet of paper can

retroactively grant you four years of

parental rights. I won't. 5 years ago,

you trusted evidence, logic, and your

own judgment.

The one thing you didn't trust was my

word. [music] So, I'm the one who needs

this paper. You always were.

Will you consent?

I'll consider it.

How long?

Leo isn't a project. There is no

delivery date.

Until I consent, you will not

investigate the hospital, touch his

hair, or send anyone near him.

Okay.

If you [music] ultimately refuse, I

still won't do it behind your back.

You'd better keep your word. I'm not

saying it to soften you up. Leo's body

and personal information aren't mine.

5 years ago, you excelled at reaching

conclusions for everyone. So, this time,

I'll wait for you and Leo to decide.

Remember what you said today. It's

painless. But Leo [music] must know this

is a medical test, not a secret game.

If he refuses, we don't do it.

>> I agree. No one asked you.

>> When will he when he's ready? At least

how many days will the results take?

[music] You waited 5 years to start

asking.

You have no right to rush these few

days.

Okay, [music] I'll wait.

[music]

>> Stop everything. Destroy any private

information already obtained. But that

will affect the confirmation process.

[music]

>> Confirmation shouldn't be built on

violating his privacy.

>> It will confirm whether you and Mr.

[music] Cross are biologically related.

>> So it confirms whether he's my other

dad.

>> Biologically? Yes.

>> After that, do I have to call him dad?

>> No. You decide what you call anyone.

>> [music and bell]

>> If the result confirms it, what are you

going to do? Give Leo everything [music]

he's been denied. Money again.

Be there as he grows up. You're

traveling tomorrow [music] at a board

meeting the day after. And you may

change your mind next month.

I won't. [music]

You were certain 5 years ago, too.

If you really are, can I wait before

calling you dad?

>> Yes.

>> What if I don't like you?

>> That's allowed, too.

>> What if daddy never forgives you?

>> That's between daddy and me. It won't

change my [music] responsibility to you.

>> When the result comes back, will you

suddenly [music] start treating me extra

nicely?

Not suddenly. I'll go at the [music]

pace you allow.

>> And you can't go to my school and say

you're my dad.

>> I can't.

>> You can't give my photos to reporters?

[music]

>> Absolutely not.

>> Is every condition clear? everyone.

What the hell did I do?

I'm not using this to prove that I loved

him. Then what does it prove? that I

regretted it 5 years ago, but I was

[music] too much of a coward to ask you

for the truth, so I kept a pair of socks

instead.

Are you trying to move me? No.

For once, I [music] simply don't want to

make excuses for who I was back then.

Take it away.

>> Why?

>> Leo doesn't need you collecting regrets.

If he wants it someday, give it to him

[music] yourself. Until then, don't turn

it into evidence meant to guilt us into

softening.

>> The results belong to the child. [music]

They will not be made public.

>> The kinship [snorts] test results

Leave it there.

Aren't you going to look?

Get out.

>> [music]

>> If he really is mine,

>> then where were you before,

>> Mr. Cross? [music] Are you sure you want

to see the results now?

>> Tell me.

Based on the submitted samples,

the probability of paternity is

[sighs]

biologically speaking. You are Leo's

father.

That's impossible. The results are

conclusive.

>> Julian, the child is yours. If you're

going to lie, at least make it

believable. I've already given you the

answer.

>> [sighs and gasps]

>> The results are back. You knew all

along.

Of course. What? [snorts]

Why didn't I tell you?

I did.

Julian,

you wanted proof. Now you have it.

Congratulations. Don't you want to curse

me out at all?

What would be the point? I said enough 5

years ago. Leo really is mine.

Biologically, you haven't earned any

other claim to him yet.

When

did we

How can the child be mine?

Haven't you been searching for 5 years

for that Omega

that night at the hotel?

[music]

It was you?

>> Yes.

The person that night

was me.

Why didn't you tell me?

>> I was [music] going to. I told you the

child was yours.

I also gave you a chance to learn that

[music] I was the one from that night.

Two answers. You didn't believe either

[music] one.

Julian, don't call me that.

You found the [music] Omega you spent 5

years looking for. Now you can leave.

[music] I'm sorry

for every word I said 5 years ago. For

every time I doubted you, and for saying

I won't acknowledge the child.

Are you finished?

I don't [music] know what else to say.

Then don't say anything.

You think one apology can undo 5 years?

No. [music]

Good.

Because I'm sorry are the two most

useless words there are. I know.

I'm not here to buy your forgiveness.

I simply owed you an apology without

excuses.

At least give me one chance. Saturday at

9:00 a.m. the community library.

This isn't visitation. It's [music] an

evaluation. I'll be present the entire

time. 1 minute late and it's over. I'll

be there. Then keep your word. Don't

make Leo wait for you. [bell]

>> There's something I need to tell you.

>> Adrien is [music] my dad.

>> How did you know?

>> It's been written all over both your

faces lately.

>> So, it's true.

>> It's [snorts] true. O.

>> That's it. Just O.

>> What do you want me to do about it?

[music]

>> I want to be your dad.

>> You already are.

>> I mean, for real.

>> Then you'll have to pass an evaluation.

>> Who decided [music] that?

>> I did.

[bell]

>> Rule one, don't be late. Rule two, don't

make daddy angry.

>> Rule two is too hard. I'll try.

60 is a passing score.

>> 80.

>> Why?

>> Because you scored zero for the first

five years.

[snorts]

>> Okay.

>> No argument.

>> You're right this time.

We'll take the entire collection.

>> No.

>> Why not? [music]

>> Daddy says liking something doesn't mean

you have to buy all of it.

>> I can afford it.

>> So,

>> then which one do you want?

Just this one?

>> Yes.

>> Okay.

[bell]

>> Daddy, he didn't buy [music] a bunch of

things today.

A tremendous improvement.

>> Do you [music] two discuss my

performance behind my back every day?

>> Not behind your back.

>> We also do it to your face.

>> Fine. [music] Why are you so

good-tempered today? I'm on probation as

a dad.

>> One point for attitude.

>> I used to think [music] that if I could

give something, I should. Typical alpha

syndrome.

Now I realize that's wrong.

When [music] I force something on you

that you don't want, I'm really only

satisfying myself.

So, from now on, [music]

I'll ask first. Ask what? What do you

want?

>> Leo spilled an entire box of paint in

art [music] class today.

>> Did you fall into a paint palette?

>> An art related accident.

You don't know how to handle it? [music]

>> Who says I don't?

>> Then why are you calling daddy?

>> I was going to tell him you turned

yourself into a painting today.

>> Your excuses are getting smoother.

[music]

>> We're going home.

>> Daddy says you have to soak paint stains

[music] first.

>> I already did.

>> Daddy says you shouldn't pour in that

much detergent.

>> It's already in.

>> How much?

>> Half the bottle. Are you trying to wash

the shirt out of existence?

>> Don't say anything.

>> I didn't say a word.

>> You're laughing. The head of the cross

group defeated by a washing machine.

[laughter]

What are you looking at? I haven't seen

you laugh like that in 5 years.

Clean up the floor first. Yes, sir.

Don't read too much into it. I'm not

[music] pursuing you. I'm taking care of

the child first.

>> This goes here.

>> I know

>> you put it [music] on backward.

>> I was testing you.

>> Right. Is stubbornness hereditary in the

Cross family, [music] too?

>> I have a question.

>> Ask.

>> Do you still love Daddy?

>> Who taught you to ask that?

>> Television. [music]

>> Watch less of it from now on.

>> So, do you love him or not?

I do.

>> Then why didn't you want us before?

>> Because I was stupid.

>> How stupid?

>> Stupid enough. Stupid enough that when

someone put the [music] most important

answers right in front of me, I still

thought I was smarter than him.

>> That is pretty stupid.

>> No need to repeat it. [music]

>> So, you regret it now?

>> Every day.

>> Does daddy still love you?

>> I don't [music] know. Why don't you ask?

>> If he doesn't want to say, I won't

pressure him.

>> Then what are you going to do?

>> Keep working through [music] my

internship.

>> Good attitude. Two points.

>> Only two.

>> Don't be greedy.

>> If you're uncomfortable, I'll leave.

>> No need. Finish the contract.

I remember you grabbing my sleeve that

night and I remember that you remembered

nothing the next morning.

Afterward, all I remembered was the

scent.

I kept thinking that if I found [music]

that person, I'd finally have the

answer. The answer isn't who slept with

you.

It's how you [music] treated that person

after you woke up.

I got it wrong both times.

Yes.

I'll never use losing control as an

excuse again.

[music]

Want me to drive you? No.

You weren't the only one who lost

control back then.

But what hurt me afterward [music]

were the choices you made while you were

perfectly lucid.

Take it if you need it. If not, [music]

I'll leave right away.

You've certainly learned to keep your

distance

because I finally understand that

getting close isn't up to the person who

wants to.

What if you'd understood that 5 years

ago? There are no whatups. [music] All I

can do is make sure the person you are

today never has to fear me making the

same choices again.

If Leo didn't exist, would you still

have apologized?

See, it's not a pretty answer. I might

never have realized just how completely

wrong I was. But now that I have, I'm

not staying only because of the child.

Leo accepting you doesn't mean I accept

you. [music]

>> I know becoming his father doesn't mean

you get to be my partner again. I know

that too. As his father, I'll follow

Leo's wishes. As for the [music] path

back to you, if it never opens, I have

no right to force my way. Very

graciously put. I'll prove with time

that those aren't just lines.

Evan is in the parking lot. I'll ask him

to come up. You're not taking me. He's

the one you trust. [bell]

not stopping him this time. He needs a

doctor, [music] not a jealous

ex-husband.

That's quite an improvement. I'm not

doing it so you can grade me.

Can you pick Leo up?

>> Yes. What identification do I need?

>> I'll send you the authorization code.

Take him straight from kindergarten to

the apartment. 20 minutes. Understood.

[music]

>> Daddy said it's okay.

>> Then let's go. [music]

>> Safety matters more than 20 minutes, but

I'll explain why [music] we're late.

>> [music]

>> Why didn't you bring him upstairs to

wait?

>> Your authorization only extended to the

lobby.

>> He didn't even buy me ice cream. He's

boring. [music]

>> Rule number two. You passed today.

>> Next time.

If [music] there is a next time, I'll

still follow your rules.

>> [music]

>> Is he the crosshair? [music]

>> He is a minor. Please delete the photo.

Thank you for handling [music] the

reporters. Protecting Leo is my

responsibility as his father. You don't

need to thank me. You didn't use it as

an opportunity to make the [music]

paternity test results public. That's

his private information.

Stay with him.

Record his temperature every 10 minutes.

If it goes above [music] 39, call me

immediately. Don't leave his line of

sight.

>> Okay.

I won't leave him [music] alone.

>> Dad,

>> I'm here.

He's safe now. I should go. Thank you.

You can wake him. No need. His fever

just broke.

[music]

>> 37.2 stable. Dad, where are my stickers?

>> I called you that last night. It still

counts. [music]

>> You can change it back whenever you

want.

>> It's a trial run.

[music]

>> Where would the three of you like to

sit?

>> Two parents and one probationary

observer.

>> I thought I'd [music] been promoted.

Only your title was upgraded.

>> Mr. Cross, [music] have the medicine

delivered to the front desk at 3 this

afternoon. Still, Mr. Cross?

>> What else would I call you?

[music] He called me dad. That was Leo's

decision. I know.

Being allowed into his room doesn't mean

you're allowed into my bedroom.

You may take [music] him out to eat, but

that doesn't mean you can use dropping

him off as an excuse to stay. I

understand.

I'll cherish [music] the title he gave

me and respect the place you haven't.

>> Why aren't you coming upstairs?

>> Daddy didn't invite me.

>> But you're already dad.

Dad still has to [music] respect the

door to Daddy's home. You can video call

him for 10 minutes tonight. What time

works for you? 7:30. I'll be [music] on

time.

>> He's easier to handle now than before.

>> It's not that you're easier to manage.

You've learned to respect boundaries.

>> Sharks first, then cake.

>> Whatever you say.

Do we look like a family today?

>> Today we're the people celebrating your

birthday with you.

>> What about tomorrow?

>> Tomorrow will follow tomorrow's plans.

Daddy [music] is right. We enjoy today

without using it to pressure anyone

about tomorrow.

>> You're not coming in for a second slice

of cake.

>> Today's [music] arrangement ends at 8.

>> Happy birthday. Whether [music] we meet

tomorrow is up to you and daddy.

Take it with you. Don't waste it.

May I save it? For private use only.

Understood.

You're not going to [music] ask when the

next time will be. Today isn't over yet.

I won't ruin the present by asking for

the future.

>> I've never seen any of these because you

weren't there.

>> This is when I first learned to walk.

>> May I make a copy?

>> Yes, but the original belongs to Daddy.

>> Of course.

I can't make up for any of this.

You finally understand.

All I can do is make sure I don't miss

the next time.

>> You're not bringing him home to live

with us?

>> That's not my decision to make.

>> He is a cross. He is Leo first.

[music]

My teacher [music] said I can write down

the people who matter to me. We don't

have to share a last name.

>> Where do you [music] want to put me?

>> Here for now. Whether the line becomes

solid [music] will be decided later.

>> Okay.

for

>> I don't care.

>> Sorry, [music] traffic was bad.

>> You weren't late,

>> but I made you worry.

[applause]

>> Dad,

I'm here.

>> Why are you about to cry again?

>> People can cry when they're happy, too.

If daddy never gets back together with

you, will you still be my dad?

>> Always.

>> What if I get mad at you someday?

>> Still. Always.

You don't have to manage my

expectations. And calling me dad doesn't

mean you have to keep liking me forever.

>> Is this your biological son?

That is a private matter. Please respect

the minor's privacy.

>> Why didn't you tell other people?

>> Because calling me dad was your trust in

me, not a headline for the media.

>> Can I tell my classmates?

>> Of course. That's your decision.

>> She is a ser

No one else had that level of access.

>> The security footage also captured Mr.

Julian's car.

>> The evidence is conclusive now.

Julian Vale betrayed the cross group.

>> It wasn't him.

>> What? [music]

>> He says it wasn't him. So it wasn't

here to interrogate me. No.

I'm here to tell [music] you something.

Someone is framing you. How do you know

it [music] wasn't me? Because you said

it wasn't.

If you insist on shielding Julian, you

must temporarily recuse [music] yourself

from project decisions.

Fine.

For an outsider, you're willing to He

isn't an outsider.

I'll step aside for the duration of the

investigation. [music]

>> Adrien, find the person who actually

leaked it. Are you insane?

>> Not entirely.

They're taking your position away

[music] temporarily.

What if it really was me?

Then I'll accept it. Except what?

>> That I trusted the wrong person once,

[music]

but not like 5 years ago.

I won't suspect you first and then force

you to prove your innocence.

This time, I'm standing with [music] you

first.

As for the evidence, we'll find it

together.

[music] Adrien. Yes. This time you got

it right.

The account is mine,

but the device used [music] to log in

isn't.

Someone cloned my access credentials.

More precisely,

someone wanted me to doubt you again.

The device used for the download belongs

to Director Carl.

And there's the footage with the forged

license plate.

You have no evidence. That sentence

sounded enough like a confession. Still

as sharp tonged as ever.

I learned from you. [music]

What if we really couldn't find the

evidence today? Then we'd keep looking.

What if we never found it? [music] Then

I'd keep believing you.

What you wanted 5 years ago, was this

it?

[crying]

Are you still calling this an [music]

accident? No. Then what do you call it?

A reward. So, I've passed probation. You

think one kiss is worth [music] 5 years

of mistakes? No. That's why I'm in no

hurry. Whenever you're ready, that's

when I'll ask again.

Leo [music] is asleep.

Should I still come in?

I didn't ask you here because of Leo.

>> I haven't forgotten what happened 5

years ago.

>> You don't have to.

>> I'm here.

[gasps and sighs]

>> I dreamed you disappeared.

Dad disappeared, too. Dad,

>> I'm here. We're both here.

>> What about tomorrow?

>> We'll be here then, too.

[music]

>> What is it?

>> I only [music] went to comfort the

child. I didn't say tonight was over.

Who said you could hold me? You did last

[music] night. Last night's privileges

don't automatically renew. Then I'm

applying. Denied it.

[music]

>> Daddy, I'm hungry.

>> This is all your fault. Who was it that

pulled me inside last night? Get

dressed.

[music]

The heat was too high. So, it's the

pan's fault?

>> Possibly.

>> Is it really that hard to admit you

can't cook?

[music]

>> You didn't mind what I couldn't do last

night?

>> What did you do last night?

>> Adult negotiations.

>> Shut up.

>> You put this on backward.

>> I did not.

>> The instructions say you did.

>> Listen to him. Whose side are you on?

>> Daddy is on my side, of course. Then

what about your boyfriend?

>> Provisional. I accept the probationary

period.

>> I've kept it all this time.

Whether you wear it is up to you.

This isn't going back to 5 years ago.

It's a new beginning.

When something happens, ask me first.

Trust you first. Then we solve it

together. Okay.

>> Has dad graduated from his internship?

>> Permanent status pending review.

>> As it should be.

Family tradition.

>> You set the new rules. We decide

together.

>> Can I fold it into a paper airplane?

>> Yes. Make it fly far.
