That would be kidnapping.
You are in over your head, Michaela.
[ Sighs ] I think that's actually you
pretending you know how to be a father.
I know what Annalise has got you involved in.
I know.
Leave.
You want a father.
I see that, Michaela.
Well, fathers protect the people they love.
I can protect myself.
I'm saying you don't need to this time.
And I am saying I can save myself,
just like I always have.
The damn FBI's involved, Michaela.
And I grew up with every odd stacked against me,
but look at what I've done.
Yale, Middleton.
God only knows what brilliance I'll achieve after I graduate.
I am literally my ancestors' wildest dreams.
So, can you imagine if I actually had you growing up,
with all your money and contacts and privilege?
[ Chuckles ] I'd already be President.
And you still can be, if you would just let me help you.
I'm good.
Seriously. [ Scoffs ]
I'm gonna be President
or... a Supreme Court Justice
or CEO of some planet.
And when I do, I'll know that I got there on my own,
and you'll be really sorry you're not by my side.
So, thank you for abandoning me.
It made me even greater than I already am.
Please...
don't ever show up in my life again.

[ Knock on door ]
Come in?
You were right.
Family sucks.
What happened?
Just me being stupid enough to think that they changed.
They're not my family.
You are.
You've been there for me when no one else was.
Even when you disappointed me,
you still always had my back.
Do you know how much that means to me?
How much you mean to me?
You mean a lot to me, too.
Don't -- You don't have to say that.
No, I-I should tell you that more.
Because you've always had my back, too.
Even when I don't deserve it.
You're the only man in my life
who hasn't lied to me or left me.
I'll never leave you, Michaela.
Even if we don't end up together,
I want to be there for you for the rest of your life.
I'm still in love with you, Michaela.
I always will be.
Is this okay?

You're worried about Gabriel.
Yeah.
He's not the one, Michaela.
It's me.
