00:00:00I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:00:02Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:00:05What are you doing here?
00:00:07I work here.
00:00:08Must be a pity hire.
00:00:09Better than daddy buying my position for me.
00:00:12Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two.
00:00:15This girl is overstepping.
00:00:16You fire her and the ward will find another CEO.
00:00:19I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:00:22I need you to stay.
00:00:23It's just a dance. Do not be weird about this.
00:00:26And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:00:30Right.
00:00:38I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:00:41Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:00:47It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:00:50She likes you, you know?
00:00:51She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:00:54That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:00:57The only reason why she's working for you
00:00:59is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills
00:01:01if she kept you away from me.
00:01:02I can't keep lying to him.
00:01:04I think I'm falling for him.
00:01:27I'm following up with New York about next month.
00:01:29But, uh, how do you spell rapport?
00:01:32R-A-P-P-O-R-T.
00:01:35It comes from the French.
00:01:36Rapporteux.
00:01:37Bring back.
00:01:38As in, je rapporte ces plats à la cuisine.
00:01:41I'm bringing these dishes back to the kitchen.
00:01:43Well, you can bring that little attitude of yours back there as well.
00:01:48I'm sorry.
00:01:49I'm sorry.
00:01:50I'm sorry.
00:01:51I'm sorry.
00:01:52I'm sorry.
00:01:53I'm sorry.
00:01:54I'm sorry.
00:01:55I'm sorry.
00:01:57I didn't realize they taught French at waitress school.
00:02:01I went to UC Berkeley.
00:02:03Heard of it?
00:02:04That's where you went.
00:02:08I'll be right back, gentlemen.
00:02:13That's R-A-P-P-O-R-T.
00:02:16Yeah.
00:02:17I got it.
00:02:18Here comes the smart mouth again.
00:02:20You'd think a hospitality major would be a little bit more...
00:02:23hospitable.
00:02:26For your information, I studied business.
00:02:28Just graduated.
00:02:29Congrats on the degree.
00:02:30I can see things are really working out for you here.
00:02:33At least I know how to spell.
00:02:35Excuse me.
00:02:36I ordered this steak medium rare, and it is medium.
00:02:41I'll be with you in just a moment.
00:02:43I think I've waited long enough.
00:02:44She's busy right now.
00:02:45She'll be with you when she's done here.
00:02:47I can speak for myself.
00:02:51Daddy.
00:02:52One second, sweetheart.
00:02:54You sure about that?
00:02:55Seems like you got a little bit too much on your plate here.
00:03:03Malia.
00:03:04Oh, my God.
00:03:05Sweetheart.
00:03:06Sweetheart, hey.
00:03:07Dad, where are her pills?
00:03:08Here.
00:03:09Lay her down.
00:03:10I got you.
00:03:11Daddy's here.
00:03:12Hey, Malia.
00:03:13We need to elevate her legs and increase blood flow to the brain.
00:03:15Give her some room to breathe.
00:03:16She's my daughter.
00:03:17I know what's best for her.
00:03:18Clearly not, or you wouldn't be raising your voice right now.
00:03:21Now elevate her legs.
00:03:23I'm calling 911.
00:03:24Malia.
00:03:25Daddy.
00:03:26Honey, hey.
00:03:27Okay, sit up.
00:03:30Here.
00:03:31It's okay.
00:03:32It's like this.
00:03:35Little sips, okay, honey?
00:03:37We're good.
00:03:38Thanks.
00:03:42Honey, think you can stand up?
00:03:43Slow.
00:03:44Nice and slow.
00:03:45I got you.
00:03:46Look at me.
00:03:48You okay?
00:03:49I am taking you to see Dr. Schaffer right now to get you checked out.
00:03:52I'm fine.
00:03:53No buts.
00:03:54Okay?
00:03:55Come on.
00:03:56Dad, can you take care of the bill?
00:03:57Yeah.
00:04:08Please excuse my son.
00:04:11What he meant was, thank you.
00:04:13Alex.
00:04:15And it's all right.
00:04:16It was a stressful situation.
00:04:17Yeah, how do you know how to handle that?
00:04:22Sometimes I faint when I get stressed out.
00:04:24Heart defect.
00:04:25I was born with it.
00:04:26Learned how to take care of myself over the years.
00:04:28Well, you shouldn't be working as a waitress with a condition like that.
00:04:31You know, running around all day.
00:04:33Student loans and a looming surgery I can't even begin to afford don't just pay for themselves.
00:04:44Oh my God.
00:04:46You know, there's an opening at my office.
00:04:48A little less footwork, better pay.
00:04:52Why don't you come and see me Monday morning?
00:04:55All right?
00:04:56We'll have a chat.
00:04:589am.
00:05:00And don't be late.
00:05:12Yeah, absolutely.
00:05:13I'm getting in the elevator.
00:05:14Let me call you right back.
00:05:15Okay.
00:05:22Hmm.
00:05:26You.
00:05:28What are you doing here?
00:05:30I work here.
00:05:32I didn't realize the cafeteria was hiring.
00:05:35Mr. Blanford said he had a job for me.
00:05:37Must be a pity hire.
00:05:38Better than daddy buying my position for me.
00:05:42You know, you're a lot more charming in an apron, waitress.
00:05:49Your floor, by the way.
00:06:04You know what to do.
00:06:09I gotta go now.
00:06:10All right.
00:06:14Hello again, Alex.
00:06:16So I'll cut right to it.
00:06:17I'd like to offer you an executive assistant position.
00:06:21I need someone to rein in our interim CEO so that he can become the leader this company needs.
00:06:27So keep him out of trouble?
00:06:30No, he's just overwhelmed.
00:06:32And his ex, Camilla, isn't helping.
00:06:35I need you to keep her far away from him.
00:06:38Sir, I appreciate the offer, I do.
00:06:41But I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:06:44Think of yourself.
00:06:46Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:06:49I could use someone like you, you know.
00:06:52You're smart.
00:06:54You're good under pressure.
00:06:56And if you don't tell him the real reason why I hired you, I'll handle all those medical bills of yours.
00:07:03What do you say?
00:07:06I say...
00:07:08When do I start?
00:07:10Right now.
00:07:16Alex, meet Lincoln Blanford, the interim CEO of Blanford Corporation.
00:07:22And your new boss.
00:07:24Her?
00:07:25Are you joking?
00:07:27I certainly am not.
00:07:29I'm still CEO for now.
00:07:31You do as I say.
00:07:43Welcome aboard.
00:07:44Welcome aboard.
00:07:50Let's get started.
00:07:52Did you bring your notepad from the restaurant?
00:08:00Coffee. Black.
00:08:02Every day within five minutes of my arrival.
00:08:05Lunch will be at 1pm sharp.
00:08:08No fast food.
00:08:10Are you writing this down?
00:08:12I also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from Emilio's.
00:08:16Oh.
00:08:18And stay out of my personal life.
00:08:21That'll be all for now.
00:08:23I'll give you access to my work calendar later.
00:08:31That means you can go.
00:08:34Lincoln?
00:08:36Not like Lucifer.
00:08:38His bark's worse than his bite. Trust me.
00:08:41I'm Jace.
00:08:43Lucifer's angelic younger brother.
00:08:45You are?
00:08:46Alex.
00:08:47Lincoln's new assistant.
00:08:49And it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling.
00:08:54I've said worse.
00:08:55Your secret's safe with me.
00:08:57I'm sorry.
00:08:59I'm sorry.
00:09:01I'm sorry.
00:09:02You're safe with me.
00:09:05Alex. Get in here.
00:09:07We need to roll some calls to South Korea.
00:09:09You're gonna need that.
00:09:11Coming!
00:09:16We're still evaluating the Chicago hub closure.
00:09:20It's costing us.
00:09:22Labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times.
00:09:28Shifting our operations to Detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford right now.
00:09:34So what? We're just gonna bleed cash while you evaluate?
00:09:37I need solutions faster, not more excuses, people.
00:09:41We're exploring alternatives.
00:09:43Nothing definitive yet.
00:09:48Sorry to interrupt.
00:09:49But have you considered splitting freight between Detroit and Cleveland
00:09:53and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow?
00:09:57Huh.
00:09:59So what, you're now an expert in freight logistics?
00:10:02Uh, no.
00:10:04But I was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while I could be off,
00:10:09but Cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure.
00:10:14It wouldn't solve all of your problems,
00:10:16but it could keep the Detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely.
00:10:20Actually, that could work.
00:10:22Worth a shot.
00:10:24I mean, obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details.
00:10:29Is there anything else I should know about my business?
00:10:32Not yet.
00:10:39Uh, you heard her.
00:10:42Let's move on this right away.
00:10:44That'll be all.
00:10:48Alex has to go.
00:10:50Absolutely not. She stays.
00:10:53Look, Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two.
00:10:57Seven this year.
00:10:59This girl is overstepping.
00:11:01She's jumping on executive leadership calls.
00:11:03Yes, she was right.
00:11:05But she is undermining me in front of my team.
00:11:07How is that supposed to strengthen my position with the board?
00:11:09So you want to fire her for being too busy?
00:11:12Fire her for being too good at her job?
00:11:15A good leader isn't threatened by his employees.
00:11:18Threatened?
00:11:20I am not threatened by her.
00:11:22But she makes it look like I've lost control.
00:11:24Well, the board already thinks you've lost control.
00:11:26This constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak.
00:11:32You have to keep Alex.
00:11:35What are you saying?
00:11:37You fire her and the board will find another CEO.
00:11:42What?
00:12:02Hey.
00:12:04Malia, right?
00:12:06How are you feeling?
00:12:08Better. Thank you for helping me the other day.
00:12:10Of course.
00:12:12You know, if you ever start to feel like that,
00:12:14you should sit down and slow your heart rate.
00:12:16What the hell are you doing?
00:12:20Malia, honey.
00:12:22Why don't you get started on your homework, okay?
00:12:28Your job is to help with my work,
00:12:30not butt into my personal life.
00:12:32I was just trying to...
00:12:34From now on, I want you to leave my daughter alone.
00:12:37How about I leave you alone, huh?
00:12:38I quit.
00:12:40Come on, it's only been a week.
00:12:42You're really giving up that fast?
00:12:44You know what? Fine.
00:12:46Leave.
00:12:48I guess you're just not cut out for a big girl job,
00:12:50are you, waitress?
00:12:56Alex, hang on.
00:13:00Alex.
00:13:06Alex, wait.
00:13:08Alex.
00:13:12I told you to wait.
00:13:15I'm not going to stay here
00:13:17and subject myself to this bullshit any longer.
00:13:19I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:13:22I'll double your salary.
00:13:24I'll give you a four-day work week,
00:13:26whatever you want.
00:13:29Look, you can't leave, okay?
00:13:32I need you to stay.
00:13:36How about starting with an apology?
00:13:38I've been working my ass off all week
00:13:40doing everything you say
00:13:42and you're still a dick to me.
00:13:44What do I have to do to please you?
00:13:48Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:13:51It's not your fault.
00:13:54I just, uh...
00:14:05Alex, hang on.
00:14:08Alex, wait.
00:14:10Alex, hey, Alex, wait.
00:14:12Hold on a second.
00:14:14Look, I don't know what came over me, okay?
00:14:17But I can't lose you.
00:14:19I promise from now on
00:14:21I will clean up my act.
00:14:23No more verbal abuse?
00:14:25I didn't...
00:14:27Fine.
00:14:29No more.
00:14:31And no more calling me waitress.
00:14:33It's Miss Livingston or Alex.
00:14:35Got it.
00:14:37Got it.
00:14:39And you said something about doubling my salary.
00:14:43Stick around for a few more months
00:14:45and then we'll talk, okay?
00:14:50You won't regret it.
00:14:52Want a bet?
00:15:07Sorry, I'm late.
00:15:09Traffic was hell.
00:15:12A menu for you, sir.
00:15:18Hi, Malia.
00:15:20Can't compete with that iPad.
00:15:22We ordered drinks.
00:15:25Oh, I'm sorry.
00:15:27Oh, I'm sorry.
00:15:29Oh, I'm sorry.
00:15:31Oh, I'm sorry.
00:15:33Oh, I'm sorry.
00:15:35Oh, I'm sorry.
00:15:37A 2005 Romanée Conti.
00:15:40Best bottle on the menu.
00:15:42It better be.
00:15:43It cost $15,000.
00:15:45We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:47Not until after I get board approval.
00:15:54So,
00:15:55what did you want to talk to me about?
00:15:58Malia
00:15:59and I
00:16:00thought it would be nice
00:16:02to spend more time as a family.
00:16:04It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:16:08Malia, honey,
00:16:09you and I talked about this, right?
00:16:11Your mother and I love you very much.
00:16:14It's just
00:16:17it's not easy for us
00:16:18to be around each other right now.
00:16:21Maybe
00:16:24we could try a little harder.
00:16:25We could try a little harder.
00:16:33Hey.
00:16:35I just wanted to give you a status report
00:16:36before I head home.
00:16:38Thank you, Ms. Livingston.
00:16:42So, regarding South Korea,
00:16:43I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week.
00:16:45I'm working...
00:16:55It's all right.
00:16:59Bacon, are you listening to me?
00:17:03Sorry.
00:17:04As I was saying,
00:17:05where was I?
00:17:07You can just take your top off.
00:17:09Oh, my God.
00:17:10I meant
00:17:11you can just take it from the top.
00:17:17I gotta go.
00:17:25No soy sauce
00:17:26in this whole building?
00:17:29They're still here.
00:17:30That's surprising.
00:17:33You and my brother
00:17:34getting along better?
00:17:35Yeah,
00:17:36everything's just peachy.
00:17:39So,
00:17:40that little argument
00:17:41you guys had the other day,
00:17:42what was that?
00:17:43A lover's quarrel?
00:17:46Look who's blushing.
00:17:48I am not blushing
00:17:49and that wasn't
00:17:50a lover's quarrel.
00:17:51He's blushing.
00:17:53So,
00:17:54he didn't
00:17:55run after you
00:17:56in the elevator
00:17:57and sweep you off your feet?

00:19:42I like red.
00:19:43I like red.
00:19:44I like red.
00:19:45I like red.
00:19:46I like red.
00:19:47I like red.
00:19:49I like red.
00:20:05I thought I said I like red.
00:20:07Did you?
00:20:09Oops.
00:20:10Must have slipped my mind.
00:20:18Looks like we're almost there.
00:20:35Remember, this is a work event.
00:20:38The whole board's going to be there.
00:20:40It's easy on the drinks.
00:20:41Do as I say, not as I do.
00:21:00You ready?
00:21:01Yeah, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's
00:21:22do it, let's do it.
00:21:31So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight
00:21:44and-
00:21:45You lied to me.
00:21:49Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:54I thought only HR saw that.
00:21:58Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar.
00:22:01I think that's a very sweet name.
00:22:03I'm not embarrassed.
00:22:04It's just private.
00:22:09My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:14I see.
00:22:17I apologize.
00:22:18I didn't know.
00:22:20I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:23Hey.
00:22:25Alex.
00:22:29I mean...
00:22:31I'm sorry.
00:22:37I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:40I'll be right back.
00:22:48Look at you. You look stunning.
00:22:52Let's see the dress.
00:22:56Let's get turn you and me straight.
00:22:58Picked it out just for you.
00:22:59It's perfect.
00:23:00May I have this dance, milady?
00:23:18For you.
00:23:20Hey, bro. Is that for me?
00:23:21Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:23And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:28Date?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:30My guest.
00:23:31You know what I mean.
00:23:31Yeah, sure. I know what you mean.
00:23:33I'll take that. I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:49It's just a dance. Do not be weird about this.
00:23:52Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:54Everyone else is dancing.
00:23:55It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:58And besides...
00:24:00It's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:04Right.
00:24:17So...
00:24:19Something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:22Jace?
00:24:24Of course not. That was nothing.
00:24:26It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:29If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:33Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:35I'm just...
00:24:36Looking out for my assistant.
00:24:40Well, I doubt he's interested. He's...
00:24:43You know...
00:24:45He's what?
00:24:46What?
00:24:48You don't know?
00:24:51Never mind.
00:24:53So...
00:24:54You guys aren't that close then?
00:24:55Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:25:00If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.
00:25:05It's important to make time for family, Lincoln.
00:25:08That's none of your concern.
00:25:11Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:15It's unprofessional.
00:25:19What? This?
00:25:22This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:25Right. A totally normal boss-slash-assistant slow dance.
00:25:30It's completely innocent.
00:25:34We're barely touching.
00:25:40Lincoln.
00:25:43Dad.
00:25:45Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:48I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:50Miss Livingston?
00:25:53Shall we?
00:25:59Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:04Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:10Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:13Oh, yes.
00:26:15Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:16Nice work.
00:26:18Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:21I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:33Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:36Hi, Lincoln.
00:26:38What are you doing here?
00:26:39Just thought I'd stop by.
00:26:41Thought you could use the moral support.
00:26:43Where's Malia?
00:26:44I got a babysitter.
00:26:47I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:53Who's this?
00:26:55No one.
00:26:56Just my assistant.
00:26:59Alex.
00:27:01Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:04As I was saying, the transit times in New York are really...
00:27:07Come on, Lincoln.
00:27:09Don't be a whore.
00:27:10It's a party.
00:27:11No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:13Am I right?
00:27:15Let's dance.
00:27:16Maybe later.
00:27:17These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:20You don't mind if I steal him, do you?
00:27:30What are you doing?
00:27:32Are you drunk?
00:27:33The whole office is here.
00:27:34We never have any time together.
00:27:36And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:27:38We're not together anymore.
00:27:39You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.
00:27:43Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:45I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
00:27:47I just...
00:27:49I miss you.
00:27:51And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.
00:27:55I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:27:59For old time's sake.
00:28:02One dance.
00:28:14Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:19Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:21I know you miss this.
00:28:28This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:31Facts, Lincoln.
00:28:32So tense.
00:28:34I could fix that, you know.
00:28:37What do you want, hmm?
00:28:39And don't get me started.
00:28:40I don't know what you're talking about.
00:28:41I'm not talking about you.
00:28:42I'm talking about you.
00:28:44And don't give me some bullshit about missing me.
00:28:46I know you.
00:28:48You want money, don't you?
00:28:50Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:54Malia's getting older.
00:28:57It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.
00:29:01We should be a family.
00:29:03We tried.
00:29:05And failed miserably.
00:29:07I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:09Are you sure about that?
00:29:12Camilla.
00:29:13Don't.
00:29:14Kiss me.
00:29:15If you don't feel anything,
00:29:17I'll leave you alone.
00:29:22Stop.
00:29:23Jesus.
00:29:27Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:30Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:33Look at me.
00:29:35You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:38Because you know I will.
00:29:40Let me make something very clear to you.
00:29:43We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:29:45You hear me?
00:29:46Ever.
00:29:47Now, you need to go.
00:29:49Right now.
00:30:10I'm not having any fun.
00:30:19Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:27It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:30And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:33And Agnes, her old roommate,
00:30:35is drinking me under the table.
00:30:38And Agnes, her old roommate,
00:30:39slept with the bartender.
00:30:43So it's last call, right?
00:30:44I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:30:46Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.
00:30:47Oh my god!
00:30:49Stop!
00:30:52Something funny?
00:30:56Time to go.
00:31:01It's okay.
00:31:08Arturo.
00:31:10Took Miss Livingston home.
00:31:11You're being incredibly rude, you know that?
00:31:13You're getting wasted at a company party.
00:31:16It's totally inappropriate.
00:31:18Don't you inappropriate me.
00:31:19Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.
00:31:21You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:23Okay, first of all, she's my ex.
00:31:25And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:28I'm a CEO.
00:31:29Interrupt.
00:31:30Right.
00:31:32Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:31:34What, my time?
00:31:36What, my title not good enough for you?
00:31:38Charm your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:39CEO this week, chairman the next.
00:31:42Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.
00:31:45What do you care anyway?
00:31:46I thought you weren't attracted to me.
00:31:49I'm not.
00:31:50Oh yeah?
00:31:52Yeah.
00:31:53Liar.
00:32:06Fucking punks.
00:32:14Didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:17Yeah, well there's nothing you don't know about me.
00:32:27That cost $8,000.
00:32:29Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:32Now get the hell over here.
00:32:35Okay.
00:32:41Is that a scar?
00:32:44It's hot.
00:32:48Fuck me.
00:33:05I wanna be with you.
00:33:36You wanna come inside?
00:33:40Uh, no.
00:33:44Right.
00:33:45No.
00:33:47Of course not.
00:33:49Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:33:54Okay.
00:33:56Bye.
00:33:58Bye.
00:34:00Bye.
00:34:02Bye.
00:34:04I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:22Morning.
00:34:24Morning.
00:34:33I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.
00:34:38It's not your fault.
00:34:39Lakin barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:41Me, dad.
00:34:43But I've seen how he is with Malia and...
00:34:46He's a soft spot.
00:34:48Lakin's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:51Like, he needs therapy about it.
00:34:54Camila really messed him up.
00:34:57Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:35:00That bitch is a gold digger.
00:35:01I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.
00:35:04It took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did,
00:35:07ooh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:12Jesus.
00:35:14Maybe it's just best to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:17It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:24Look, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:27How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:29Seven? I'll text you the details.
00:35:32Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:34Great.
00:35:54Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:57Dad insisted.
00:35:59Something about never getting to see Malia these days?
00:36:02I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.
00:36:05You know, like normal business partners and not...
00:36:07Family members.
00:36:09Exactly.
00:36:14Did you, uh, give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:20Grandpa, I told you it's me!
00:36:23You? Ah, you're too tall.
00:36:25No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee-high.
00:36:29Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:32Hmm. Cause this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:37Are we expecting company?
00:36:49Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:56Alex?
00:36:58Lincoln?
00:36:59You made it!
00:37:00You made it!
00:37:23Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:27Me neither.
00:37:31It's okay.
00:37:32I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:35My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:39He's right.
00:37:41It is.
00:37:43Look on the bright side.
00:37:44At least it's not brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:54You're welcome.
00:37:56You're welcome.
00:37:58Thank you. That was delicious.
00:38:01Alright.
00:38:05Miss Livingston.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:15Uh, Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:21Alex, I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:24Really?
00:38:25It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:32You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.
00:38:37Thank you, Jace. You're very welcome.
00:38:39Jace, don't-
00:38:40Why?
00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:47But I wanna hang out with Alex.
00:38:49Please, Daddy. Please.
00:38:51Alex, please, Daddy. Please.
00:38:58Works for me.
00:39:11I'll be right back.
00:39:13Hey.
00:39:16Get your bed.
00:39:18Come on.
00:39:21Come on.
00:39:52She likes you, you know?
00:39:55She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:59I like her too.
00:40:06So, are we gonna figure out what happened, or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:15Your job is not in danger.
00:40:18Your job is not in danger.
00:40:22Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:28What do you want me to say, Alex? I-
00:40:31I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:33Not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:38But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever-
00:40:44I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:47I want you, Alex.
00:40:49That's the problem.
00:40:57What if we separate church and state?
00:41:02At work, we're professional.
00:41:06But outside of work, we're-
00:41:09Unprofessional?
00:41:13Unprofessional.
00:41:39Liam, hurry. Come on.
00:41:41Go! Come on!
00:41:43Let's go, Malia. Come on.
00:41:44Mom!
00:41:45Faster!
00:41:48Hey, uh, Lincoln's not here right now. He just landed in New-
00:41:52New York. I know.
00:41:55But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:59Going to LA. Business trip.
00:42:02So, she's all yours.
00:42:03Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be childcare.
00:42:07I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:10Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:20Why doesn't she want to be with me?
00:42:23Hey, hey. It's okay, Malia.
00:42:39Alex, what's going on?
00:42:40Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:41Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:44She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:46What?
00:42:48Let me talk to her.
00:42:53Hi, honey. Are you okay?
00:42:55Hi.
00:42:56Listen, uh, Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh-
00:43:00I'm gonna be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is gonna take care of you, okay?
00:43:03Everything is fine.
00:43:04I love you.
00:43:05I love you, too.
00:43:10I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:13So much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:15I woke up the first flight out this evening.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay. Bye.
00:43:28Okay, so, we'll get you fed, I can help you with your homework,
00:43:31and by the time your dad gets back-
00:43:34Is that too much rice?
00:43:36Rice?
00:43:38I'm sorry.
00:43:40You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:47Has your mom done this before?
00:43:51Sort of.
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with some of her friends for a few days,
00:43:56so she can go on work trips.
00:44:01Work trips. Huh.
00:44:04Does your dad know about this?
00:44:06I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:09He says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:15Shit! I mean, shoot!
00:44:34Oh my god! Malia!
00:44:37Malia.
00:44:41I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
00:44:57Better?
00:45:01Good.
00:45:04How about we order some pizza?
00:45:30Malia?
00:45:33Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:40You can talk to me.
00:45:43Believe me. I understand.
00:45:47What do you mean?
00:45:52It's from surgery.
00:45:54I was born with a heart defect.
00:45:56Just like you.
00:45:57Really?
00:45:58Really.
00:46:01I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:24Who is it?
00:46:25It's me.
00:46:28Hi.
00:46:34Lincoln.
00:46:36Hi.
00:46:38Hi.
00:46:40Can I see Malia?
00:46:58Hi.
00:47:09Daddy.
00:47:10Shh.
00:47:12It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here.
00:47:14Go back to sleep.
00:47:16No, stay.
00:47:20I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:22No, you stay too.
00:47:25It's alright with me.
00:47:56Where do you think you're going?
00:47:58To find Malia.
00:48:01I already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:05We're all alone.
00:48:09What about work?
00:48:13Time off for good behavior.
00:48:20I'm sorry.
00:48:22It's okay.
00:48:32Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:39It wasn't a problem.
00:48:43Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:47Let me make it up to you.
00:48:52How are you going to do that?
00:49:00Let me show you.
00:49:17I love you.
00:49:28You're like the neighbors.
00:49:47You know, I think more people should try co-workers with benefits.
00:49:57So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:05Not really.
00:50:10Sorry, I um...
00:50:12I was just curious.
00:50:15Congenital heart defect.
00:50:17You don't want to hear about it. It's too much.
00:50:19Too much?
00:50:21This condition, these bills, this scar.
00:50:25My parents were incredible.
00:50:28They gave up everything for me.
00:50:30They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves
00:50:34to try and make my life normal.
00:50:37And now they're gone.
00:50:39Car accident when I was a senior in high school.
00:50:42I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then...
00:50:46Alex.
00:50:48Sorry, way too much information.
00:50:50Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:52You don't need to know my sob story.
00:50:57You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:51:00I know. She told me.
00:51:02Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:07Look, I've never told her anything.
00:51:10Look, I've never told anybody this, but...
00:51:14Malia was born with her defect because Camilla...
00:51:18She took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight
00:51:22or lose out on modeling gigs.
00:51:25I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:27Oh my God.
00:51:29It's terrible.
00:51:31Truth is, she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:35I did.
00:51:37I did.
00:51:39I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:42Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:48I'm so sorry, Leekin.
00:51:51The only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:54is for the money.
00:51:56Not for me, and certainly not for her daughter.
00:52:00She's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt,
00:52:04abandoning her daughter like that, it's...
00:52:08Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:10I want to, but it's too risky.
00:52:13The courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:15I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:18They don't always.
00:52:22Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:26What did she say to you?
00:52:28Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips.
00:52:31It's dangerous, and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met.
00:52:35I think you could have a case here.
00:52:37I don't know.
00:52:39I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:41I mean, making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:44I can't do that.
00:52:46I know you want what's best for Malia.
00:52:49And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:52Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:55And if that's money, fine.
00:52:58You have it.
00:53:00Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.
00:53:03You're right.
00:53:05Malia deserves better.
00:53:08I will talk to her this week.
00:53:23Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:27Greedy?
00:53:29I meant breakfast.
00:53:32You can cook?
00:53:34Yes, I can.
00:53:36For the right company.
00:53:46Ta-da!
00:53:55I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:54:00Shit, fuck, I'm sorry.
00:54:02I didn't mean to.
00:54:04It's okay, really.
00:54:06It's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:54:11Thank you again for everything.
00:54:14I know this wasn't part of the job description.
00:54:17And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:24Right.
00:54:26Not exactly.
00:54:30He told you all of that?
00:54:32What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:34A saint?
00:54:35Hardly.
00:54:38Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone?
00:54:44Cross my heart, I hope to die.
00:54:49Your dad is paying me to do this.
00:54:51To help Laken.
00:54:54That's what a job is.
00:54:56You work for the company.
00:54:57You know that, right?
00:54:59You don't understand.
00:55:00Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck it out as Laken's assistant.
00:55:07He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla by any means necessary, he said.
00:55:13Now that Laken and I are...
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits?
00:55:17Co-workers with benefits, excuse me.
00:55:20It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:25Why? Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:28Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:30It won't feel like that if he finds out.
00:55:32He'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:34Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:37Chase, I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:39I think...
00:55:42I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:48So more than co-workers with benefits.
00:55:55Thanks for meeting me.
00:55:57I wanted to talk to you about...
00:55:59Your new girlfriend?
00:56:01What?
00:56:02I know all about your little sleepover.
00:56:05You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life.
00:56:10Especially that one.
00:56:12What do you mean by that one?
00:56:14Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in L.A.
00:56:18It was a work trip.
00:56:19Oh, really?
00:56:22She's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been.
00:56:25Which is actually why I'm here.
00:56:28Enough is enough.
00:56:30I want sole custody.
00:56:32So this is it?
00:56:35You want to break up our family for that lying little...
00:56:38You don't want a family.
00:56:40You don't want a family.
00:56:42You don't want a family.
00:56:44You don't want a family.
00:56:46You don't want a family.
00:56:48For that lying little...
00:56:49You don't want a family.
00:56:51You just want my money.
00:56:52I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:54You think I want money?
00:56:56How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:58What do you mean?
00:57:03I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:08That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:13I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:20What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:23The only reason why she's working for you is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.
00:57:31No, she wouldn't do that. That's not who she is.
00:57:36If you don't believe me, just ask your dad.
00:57:40Okay.
00:57:49Is it true?
00:57:51Lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:53Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:59It was for your own good.
00:58:00Do not give me that father knows best routine.
00:58:03This is a complete betrayal of my trust.
00:58:05Your personal issues were affecting not only the business, but our family.
00:58:09That is absurd. This has nothing to do with the company.
00:58:12Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader.
00:58:18As it does the way you close yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:22So what? I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart? That is bullshit.
00:58:26My love life, your business.
00:58:28But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:58:33It's a smart girl with a good heart.
00:58:36She cares about Malia.
00:58:38And she challenges you.
00:58:40She is fired.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:59:07What are you doing here?
00:59:11We need to talk.
00:59:13Oh yeah?
00:59:15You want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:19Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:22Because you still love her?
00:59:24God, I was so fucking stupid.
00:59:26Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:30God, Alex.
00:59:32I trusted you.
00:59:34I told you things that I've told my family.
00:59:37And this whole time...
00:59:39You were just in it for the money.
00:59:41I...
00:59:43That was before anything happened between us.
00:59:46Lincoln, I couldn't say no.
00:59:48That kind of money...
00:59:50You know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you.
00:59:52And fucking me, what? That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:56That's all I am to you? Just a transaction?
00:59:59Of course not.
01:00:02How dare you?
01:00:04Why should I believe you?
01:00:07You know, you're just like her.
01:00:10I am not like Camilla.
01:00:12Lincoln, I care about you.
01:00:14You're fired.
01:00:15And this thing between us?
01:00:17That's over too.
01:00:32God...
01:00:47Let's go.
01:01:02Rock you around, huh?
01:01:04I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:08You going to let me in or what?
01:01:14You are out of your mind.
01:01:16Showing up here is insane.
01:01:18Like you don't fucking love it?
01:01:20I don't fucking love it.
01:01:22I don't fucking love it.
01:01:24I don't fucking love it.
01:01:26I don't fucking love it.
01:01:28I don't fucking love it.
01:01:30I don't.
01:01:32I've changed.
01:01:34I've heard that before.
01:01:36God, it turns me on when you act like you do.
01:01:38Alright, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:41Have you left your house yet?
01:01:43Well, I'm going to try and get my old job back,
01:01:45so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.
01:01:52You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:56I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:02:00It was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:15What's wrong with me?
01:02:18Nothing.
01:02:20Absolutely nothing.
01:02:27I'm sorry.
01:02:30I just...
01:02:34I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:41Hey.
01:02:43Text me, okay?
01:02:45Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:49I will.
01:02:51I promise.
01:03:00Text me.
01:03:30Text me.
01:03:51Hey, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:54I used to work here.
01:03:57Hey, kid. Come on, man. Open up.
01:04:07You really need to give me a key.
01:04:11You want a drink?
01:04:13Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:14Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:17Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:21Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:24We were just fucking, and now we're not.
01:04:27I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit?
01:04:32I don't.
01:04:34Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:37Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:39I don't drink whiskey.
01:04:42Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:45Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:47What do you care?
01:04:49She's all yours now.
01:04:51Her little deal with Dad is moot, and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:54Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:05:02Yeah.
01:05:04You're always so wrapped up in your own shit,
01:05:06you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:12I'm sorry.
01:05:15Really.
01:05:18I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:23Are you good?
01:05:28I'm good.
01:05:42Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:47But you were always flirting with her, Al.
01:05:49I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:53She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:55She cares about you. A lot.
01:05:59She hated the deal.
01:06:01She hated lying to you.
01:06:03She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:08And why should I?
01:06:10Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:16Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:22Call her.
01:06:41Hey.
01:06:59Hey.
01:07:10Fuck.
01:07:33Fuck him.
01:07:36So, that's $250,000 a year.
01:07:40Every year.
01:07:42Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:44So, nine more years, then.
01:07:47Eight.
01:07:49You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:06Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:12You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:14She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:16I can't. I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:19Give her a kiss from me, will you?
01:08:36Good fucking riddance.
01:08:38I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:40It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:43I am going to speak to the board in the morning.
01:08:46All right?
01:08:48If you gentlemen will excuse me.
01:08:52I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:59Congrats, bro.
01:09:01Let's celebrate.
01:09:06Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:08Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11Yeah.
01:09:13And now Malia has to live the rest of her life
01:09:15knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her
01:09:17to fight for custody.
01:09:19On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:22You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:24What else could you want?
01:09:27Maybe a certain little assistant.
01:09:29Or maybe you're going to get a job.
01:09:33Maybe a certain little assistant that'll help you get custody.
01:09:37She blocked my number.
01:09:39And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees
01:09:42begging for her to take me back.
01:09:44That would make me look insane.
01:09:46Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:51She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:54And I don't blame her.
01:09:56Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back,
01:09:58but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:10:03She's working here again?
01:10:07Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:09Go get her.
01:10:24Hi.
01:10:25Ready to order?
01:10:26I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:33Alex.
01:10:36Lincoln?
01:10:39What are you doing here?
01:10:41Jace brought me.
01:10:43To celebrate.
01:10:45I won full custody.
01:10:48Congratulations.
01:10:50Yeah, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:54Alex, I want to apologize.
01:10:59I made a huge mistake.
01:11:01Thanks.
01:11:03I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:07No.
01:11:10Alex, here.
01:11:16You okay?
01:11:20Whoa!
01:11:21Someone call 911!
01:11:24Help!
01:11:25It's okay.
01:11:32It's okay.
01:11:44Any update?
01:11:50There's only so much that they'll tell me right now,
01:11:52but the doctor said that she's in critical condition,
01:11:57they're going to operate tomorrow,
01:12:00and that her chances are 50-50.
01:12:02Jesus.
01:12:04Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:09The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:13And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either.
01:12:16I should have just left her alone.
01:12:18It's not your fault, Lincoln.
01:12:21And now Alex could, she could...
01:12:23Hey, stop.
01:12:24Don't talk like that.
01:12:46Lincoln?
01:12:49Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:51Jesus Christ.
01:12:54I was so worried, I thought...
01:12:58I thought that I might have lost you.
01:13:03I'm fine.
01:13:06You should leave.
01:13:08What?
01:13:09What are you talking about?
01:13:10Lincoln, why are you here?
01:13:12I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:14Because you feel guilty.
01:13:17This is what you do.
01:13:19You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:22It's not like that.
01:13:23I don't want to be your charity case, Lincoln.
01:13:27I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:32You are not a burden.
01:13:34I don't think that.
01:13:36I'd like you to go.
01:13:52Okay.
01:14:18Morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:22Morning.
01:14:28It's good to see you awake.
01:14:30You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:36I got you something.
01:14:52This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:57Where did all the flowers come from?
01:15:00It was Dad.
01:15:02You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode,
01:15:05so he's been helping out with Malia while Lincoln watches over you here.
01:15:08I got you a bunch of different student cover.
01:15:11Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:14You shouldn't have.
01:15:16You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:18Dad was good for it. It's done.
01:15:21I don't deserve it.
01:15:24What are you talking about?
01:15:26Look at me, Jace. I'm literally fucking scarred. Why should I...
01:15:29Hey, hey, Alex.
01:15:32You deserve love.
01:15:36Get out of your own way and realize that.
01:16:01Jesus.
01:16:03Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:16:05Fuck. I'm sorry. I just...
01:16:08I thought you might need some help.
01:16:10Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:13Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:19Sorry. Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:22Alex, you're recovering from surgery.
01:16:26Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:35Thanks.
01:16:53Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:56She misses you. Everyone misses you.
01:17:00My dad, Jace...
01:17:04And me.
01:17:08It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:12I can see that now.
01:17:14I've just... I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:18And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:20It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:28What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you...
01:17:33Do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:37They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:40Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again, they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:46That's not sacrifice. That's love.
01:17:51I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:54About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:59I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:18:04But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me...
01:18:09Is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:17It is simply because you love them.
01:18:23Alex Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:37I can't stop.
01:18:39It's true.
01:18:41And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:48Prove it? How?
01:18:54Is that...
01:18:56Scars.
01:18:58Just like yours.
01:19:01Are those tattoos?
01:19:04I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:08I love you, Alex.
01:19:11I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:19Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:24Please.
01:19:28I love you too.
01:19:49What are you doing next week? I want to take you to a party.
01:19:55Another gala?
01:19:58Something like that. And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:04Who is it?
01:20:06You'll see.
01:20:10I'm sorry.
01:20:14You'll see.
01:20:21Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:27Happy birthday to you.
01:20:38What did you wish for?
01:20:41A little mommy.
01:20:44One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:49I got you something.
01:20:52It might not be the biggest present you get, but I think you'll like it.
01:20:57I have one too.
01:21:00Just like you.
01:21:11I love you.
01:21:41I love you.
