02:31I will.
02:35Sterling Group will vertically integrate its new energy supply chain.
02:38We're investing $1 billion to build our own core component production lines.
02:43Ms. Sterling, that's extremely aggressive.
02:44The math's solid.
02:4518-month payback, not three years.
02:48Next question.
02:51She's insane.
02:52A billion dollars?
02:54Three years minimum to break even?
02:55Sir, she just cut off your entire attack room?
02:58Oracle.
02:59You're even meaner than I remember.
03:01What are your differing views on the future of North American new energy?
03:06Sterling's vertical integration is reckless.
03:09A billion dollars.
03:11Three-year payback.
03:12Too much risk.
03:14Oracle.
03:15You never used to gamble like this.
03:16Reckless?
03:17My model says 18 months, not three years.
03:20You're using old parameters.
03:21You didn't factor in the new government subsidies.
03:23How do you know what parameters I'm using?
03:24Because every public statement you make meets your model.
03:26Last week you said North American market growth will slow.
03:28That told me you left out policy variables.
03:30Today you said three-year payback.
03:31That told me you haven't updated your supply chain cost data.
03:35Oracle.
03:36You're embarrassing me in public.
03:37I ain't embarrassing you.
03:39I'm telling you, your data's obsolete.
03:42Mrs. Sterling, do you think you won?
03:44This ain't about winning or losing.
03:47It's about the numbers.
03:51You're welcome, Vic.
04:03Dad, this is the money you gave me for the West Coast move.
04:06I didn't use it.
04:07You're giving it back?
04:08I ain't here to ask for it back.
04:10I just want to pay what I owe.
04:12Sarah.
04:13I know.
04:13I got a long way to go.
04:15But I'm walking it.
04:32I want to pay back the money I took from the family.
04:34Keep it.
04:36Why?
04:36Donate it.
04:37The Sterling family's got a women's founder fund.
04:40Put it there.
04:40Help people like you.
04:41People like me?
04:42People who got underestimated.
04:43Victoria, I'm sorry.
04:46I'm sorry for everything.
04:46I'm sorry to mom, to dad, to Victoria.
04:48I'm so sorry.
04:50I'm so sorry.
04:51Enough.
04:53The past is already calculated.
04:55The present, we calculate together.
05:05You came.
05:08I came.
05:15You two going to hug or what?
05:19Can I?
05:41When you're heading back?
05:43Tomorrow morning.
05:45If you need anything, call.
05:48Why'd you help me?
05:49You didn't have to.
05:51Because you ain't bad, Sarah.
05:53You just didn't know who you could become.
05:57When'd you get so good at this?
05:59Alex taught me.
06:09Nervous?
06:11No.
06:12Liar.
06:172.3%.
06:18You're still the same, Victoria.
06:21Dad wants to know if you're ready.
06:22I'm ready.
06:23Vic, when you first came to this house, I thought you were a weirdo.
06:26Thanks.
06:26Then you got stronger.
06:27I thought you were a genius.
06:29Now, I think you're the person I'm most proud of.
06:32Nick, when'd you learn to talk like that?
06:34From my sister.
06:43You look beautiful.
06:44You clean up okay.
06:46And I didn't calculate anything.
06:48Calculate what?
06:49The probability you'd run away.
06:50Alexander Vance, do you take Victoria Sterling to be your wife in sickness and in health for richer or for
06:55poorer till death?
06:55Do you-
06:56I do.
06:56Victoria Sterling, do you take Alexander Vance to be your husband?
06:59I do.
07:01How are you crying more than the bride?
07:02You don't understand.
07:03I've been waiting for this day for ten years.
07:05To Victoria.
07:08I used to hate her.
07:10I thought she took everything from me, but she never took nothing.
07:15I just never held on to what was mine.
07:18Thank you for not giving up on me.
07:20To Sarah.
07:21To everyone.
07:23To finally being family.
07:38Thanks for coming to the Loster launch of the Women's Founder Fund.
07:44This fund is for women who've been told no because of who they are, not what they can do.
07:49I used to be one of them.
07:51I grew up in this family.
07:52I was adopted.
07:53I sat in the corner.
07:54No one thought I could do anything, but I did.
07:57These numbers ain't mine alone.
07:59They belong to my team, my family, my friends.
08:02Maya Chen, AI Healthcare founder.
08:05Her company quadrupled because her tech deserved it.
08:07When I helped her, I didn't expect nothing back.
08:11But she helped me when I needed it most.
08:14You, what's your name?
08:16Sarah.
08:17Sarah, you want to be an oracle?
08:19More than anything, then go calculate.
08:21A thousand times.
08:22Ten thousand.
08:23Get it wrong, then get it right.
08:26That's all there is.
08:39Vic, what you said up there about me helping you when you needed it most, when was that?
08:46The night the acquisition failed.
08:48You sent me a message.
08:49What'd I say?
08:50Numbers don't lie.
08:52But people need each other.
08:55You remember every word?
08:57Twenty-three characters, including punctuation?
08:59I remember every single one.
09:03You're the worst person I know at expressing feelings.
09:06I know.
09:07But your way of doing it, it's very you.
09:20Everything okay?
09:21Yeah.
09:22Just someone who don't know when to quit.
09:23I understand.
09:49Eight weeks.
09:51Everything looks normal.
10:00Lunch.
10:01I know you haven't eaten.
10:05What's that?
10:11Is this?
10:13Yours.
10:16Victoria.
10:17I calculated the impact.
10:19Manageable.
10:21You even calculated this?
10:23How else would I know if I could keep it?
10:26And what'd you calculate?
10:29That I want it.
10:33You're crying.
10:35No, I'm not.
10:37You're crying on my knees.
10:41I'm just wiping my eyes.
10:52Congrats.
10:53Congrats.
10:53Try to actually rest, though I know you won't.
10:55I'm gonna be a godmother.
10:57Don't argue.
10:59Vic, your mother, she cried.
11:03Is she okay?
11:03She's fine.
11:04She just never knows how to say it.
11:06I know.
11:15This is house arrest.
11:17This is doctor's orders.
11:18Your blood pressure's high.
11:20Your job right now is to grow a human, not calculate KPIs.
11:24Growing a human don't interfere with calculating KPIs.
11:27Yeah, it does.
11:29You're on her side.
11:31Heat's too high.
11:32Flip it gentle.
11:33Less salt.
11:34Can you stop commanding?
11:35You told me to rest.
11:37Resting makes me bored.
11:38Watch TV.
11:39TV's stupid.
11:41Sleep.
11:42Can't.
11:43Victoria, can you do one thing?
11:45Nothing?
11:46That's the 12th kick today.
11:48You're counting?
11:49What else am I supposed to do?
11:50You are the most terrifying pregnant woman I ever met.
11:55Vic, two private equity funds just teamed up with a competitor.
11:58Hostile takeover attempt stocked down 6%.
12:00Bring me my laptop.
12:01Alex won't let-
12:02Nick, bring me my laptop.
12:04She's supposed to be resting.
12:05Tell her that.
12:06I love you, but this is my company.
12:09No one takes it.
12:10Oracle, heard you were on leave.
12:12I am, working from the couch.
12:14Ain't you supposed to be in bed?
12:15Working from bed.
12:17Your fund's part of this takeover.
12:19Yeah.
12:20Pull out.
12:21Why would I?
12:22Because if you don't, I'll make your 200 billion euros evaporate in North America.
12:26You're bluffing.
12:27I don't bluff.
12:28I calculate outcomes.
12:30Pull out.
12:31Now.
12:31Sir, the law is-
12:32Now!
12:34That woman doesn't bluff.
12:36She calculates.
12:45Eve.
12:46Mommy won.
13:00Four minutes apart.
13:02Forty seconds each.
13:04Early stage.
13:06About six more hours.
13:07Alex.
13:12I'm in labor.
13:15What?
13:18Get up.
13:20Drive me to the hospital.
13:25You nervous?
13:26No.
13:27Your heart rate's 110.
13:29Normal's 60 to 80.
13:31I'm running.
13:36Okay.
13:37Maybe a little nervous.
13:43Mrs. Vance, one more push.
13:49Here we go.
13:53It's a girl.
13:57Holy crap.
13:58She's ugly.
14:00She's perfect.
14:02Ugly.
14:03Data don't lie.
14:05Then calculate if she'll get better looking.
14:0890% chance.
14:11And the other 10%?
14:1410%.
14:16She'll take after me.
14:18Eve Sterling Vance.
14:20Six pounds, eight ounces.
14:26Mom and baby are healthy.
14:30Dad.
14:31You okay?
14:40I made this.
14:42It ain't very good.
14:45It's good.
14:51I never...
14:52I never knew how to say...
14:54I know.
14:57She's so small.
14:59She'll grow.
15:00When?
15:01Fast.
15:02Soon she won't be a baby no more.
15:05She'll walk, talk, ask questions.
15:08Then she'll be grown.
15:10What are you calculating?
15:13The world she's going to inherit.
15:18Hey, Vic.
15:19Hmm?
15:20You ever going to say it?
15:24I love you.
15:25Both of you.
15:26Took you long enough.
15:28I had to calculate the odds.
15:29That's...
15:31I know.
15:52You ever need to know about this?
15:52I know.
15:52I know.
15:53I know.
15:55I know.
15:55I know.
15:57But I can't.
15:59I know.
16:00Mrs. Vann, a little left.
16:02Yeah.
16:05Now, more intensity in the eyes.
16:07Perfect.
16:07Please don't smile.
16:09I ain't smiling.
16:11Corner of your mouth's moving.
16:14I'm calculating.
16:15Calculating what?
16:16Whether your shutter speed and aperture are going to overexpose the shot.
16:22I never had a model do that.
16:24I ain't a model.
16:25I'm a CEO.
16:26Right now, you're a time cover.
16:32What do you think?
16:33Cover contrast could be 10% higher.
16:36You haven't changed.
16:40Yeah, I have.
16:45Mrs. Vann, what's your greatest achievement?
16:48Not the acquisitions.
16:50Not the numbers.
16:52Proving that where you come from don't define who you are.
17:00I don't know what to say.
17:09That's Mommy.
17:13Ma.
17:14Emma.
17:23What you thinking?
17:24What the world's going to be like when Eve grows up.
17:28What's it going to be like?
17:29I don't know.
17:30I can't calculate it.
17:32You finally found something you can't calculate.
17:35More than one thing.
17:37Like?
17:37Eve.
17:38You.
17:39My mother.
17:40Nick.
17:40Sarah.
17:41Maya.
17:43And this.
17:43This world I can't calculate.
17:46You don't need to.
17:48Why?
17:49Because it's already getting better.
17:52You're in it.
17:53Take back time.
17:55Loved you from the start.
18:00Like a stone fell.
18:02Mama.
18:08Say it again.
18:10Mama.
18:13Three.
18:14One for you.
18:15One for me.
18:16One backup.
18:17Backup coffee?
18:19You might spill.
18:20I never spilled coffee in my life.
18:22You will someday.
18:23Then you'll thank me.
18:25Let's go.
18:26Come on.
18:27Let's go.
18:28Come on.
18:29What's happening?
18:30What's happening?
18:31Emergency.
18:33This is an emergency?
18:35More urgent than an acquisition.
18:40Come here, uncle's girl.
18:49Shareholders.
18:50This is my final CEO report.
18:54Next year, I'll transition to chairman.
18:57The new CEO will be Rachel Chen.
19:00Five years ago, Sterling Group's market cap was five billionaires.
19:04Today, it's 20 billionaires.
19:05New energy market share, 32%.
19:07Women's founder fund, 47 companies back, 90% still running.
19:11But those numbers don't matter.
19:13What matters is that I found a family here.
19:15Not through blood.
19:16Through choice.
19:18What matters is that Eve knows who her mother is.
19:20What matters is that Sarah's got her own company.
19:21What matters is that Maya made cancer screening 10 times cheaper.
19:25What matters is that we all became who we wanted to be.
19:29That's more important than any KPI.
19:42You're welcome.
19:48Hey, Vic.
19:49Yeah?
19:51I love you.
19:52You know that?
19:57I know.
20:01Ready?
20:02Where are we going?
20:03Home.
20:06Mama.
20:06Mama.
20:07I'm here.
20:29No.
20:30No, that ain't possible.
20:31No, that ain't possible.
20:36No, that ain't possible.
20:38Any cara.
20:39Oh.
20:44Not anymore.
20:48I love you.
20:49Stories.
20:49Bye.
20:49Bye.
20:49Bye.
20:50Bye.
20:51Bye.
20:52Bye.
20:54Bye.
20:56Bye.
