00:07:51let's get started did you bring your notepad from the restaurant

00:08:47i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are alex lincoln's new assistant and uh
00:08:56it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling
00:09:01i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:05alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea you're gonna need that coming
00:09:12we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution
00:09:24centers are already slowing down operation times and shifting our operations to detroit might create
00:09:30bottlenecks we we just can't afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:35i need solutions faster not more excuses people we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:48um sorry to interrupt
00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail
00:09:58contracts to offset the overflow
00:09:59uh so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics uh no but i was looking over last
00:10:09quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but cleveland's underutilized and you're already
00:10:14paying for the rail infrastructure it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the
00:10:20detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely actually that could work worth a shot i mean obviously
00:10:27my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details is there anything else i should know
00:10:33about my business not yet
00:10:41uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all

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