00:00Maggie. Maggie, can we not with the dramatics? Logan's family, he's my...
00:09He's your business partner. And I haven't seen him in like three years. I would have been
00:14perfectly fine staying home by myself. The way you've been acting, I don't trust you alone
00:19while I'm closing the Tokyo deal. Oh, the dean told me about...
00:23It wasn't my fault! It's not like I got expelled, it was just a suspension. I...
00:27Enough! I don't want to hear it.
00:34Okay, I have to go. Behave yourself. Do you hear me? Yes, dad.
00:41Excuse me? Who the hell are you? Oh, I...
00:57Doudrop!
00:59Doudrop!
01:11My God! You've really grown up.
01:20Right, um, this is my house manager, Estelle. Come on, let me show you your room.
01:29Wow. Holy shit. Look at this place.
01:43Now, there's a few rules I need you to follow while you're staying here.
01:50Seriously? Rules. I thought you said I was all grown up.
01:56Be that as a man, this is my house. And you were respected. No boys, no parties. No going into my office. Curfee's at 10.
02:04Hey, you're kidding, right? What are you, my jailer? Fuck off.
02:08What did I say about respect? I'm sorry. Forgive me. Please?
02:22Um, I'll leave you to unpack.
02:26Hmm.
02:34Oh, fuck.
02:45And the fucking nerve, still treating me like I'm a little girl.
02:48Maybe it's time to show him that I'm not.
02:58Why are you messing around with father time, anyways?
03:00Ugh.
03:03Maggie, you can't have boys over.
03:06Carter's just helping me move in. Chill.
03:10Look, I know your type. Spoiled little rich girl.
03:16Think you can just come in here and act like you own the place?
03:21Mr. Mallory is a decent man.
03:24And he's finally got his life back together after his wife passed.
03:28I will not let you ruin him and all the progress that we've made.
03:33We've? Huh.
03:36Sounds like someone's got the hots for the boss.
03:39There is room for only one woman in this house.
03:43Ugh, so nice chatting with you.
03:45Maybe you should just let her have the old timer.
03:55Are you kidding?
03:57Hell no.
03:58I'm not giving up on Operation Logan.
04:00What the hell is Operation Logan?
04:02Mmm, it was this plan I had the summer I turned 18.
04:06It's embarrassing, but I did everything I could to get him to take my virginity.
04:12But he kept pushing me away so I thought he wasn't interested.
04:15But there was something about the way he was looking at me today.
04:18Jesus, Maggie.
04:19I think your dad would like you calling his best friend, Daddy.
04:23Ugh, my dad doesn't give a fuck what I do.
04:26But he won't even care if he finds that I dropped out of college.
04:30It's like, ever since Mom died, he's...
04:36Anyways, he left me alone this summer.
04:41So, I'm just taking care of myself.
04:45You know, I can take care of you too.
04:49Hey, what did I tell you about having boys over?
04:55Uh, he's just a friend, it's not...
04:57I don't care, I want him out.
05:01What?
05:03See you around, Gramps.
05:14What was he doing here?
05:16Nothing, just helping me move in.
05:18Right.
05:19I'm off to work.
05:21Never strike one.
05:22Alright?
05:23Behave.
05:25Yes, Daddy?
05:30Yes, Daddy?
05:39Maggie.
05:40What the fuck are you doing?
05:42What does it look like I'm doing?
05:44I want you, Logan.
05:46Right.
05:47Now.
05:51Maggie?
05:52Maggie?
05:53Go to your room.
05:54This is not happening.
05:57I know you want me.
05:59That...
06:01I...
06:03No, there's nothing you can do to make me want to touch you.
06:06I want a beat.
06:07No, no, no, no.
06:08But...
06:09No...
06:10No, no...
06:11No, no, no, no.
06:12I don't think you're okay.
06:13No, no.
06:14I know you got nothing wrong.
06:15No, you got nothing wrong.
06:16No.
06:18No.
06:19No.
06:20No.
06:21No.
06:22No.
06:23No.
06:24No.
06:25No.
06:26No.
06:27No.
06:28No.
06:29No.
06:30No.
06:31No.
06:32No.
07:33Child, you have no idea where you're...
07:36We are not doing this.
07:40It would destroy my career and my reputation.
07:44Fuck.
07:45Your father is my business partner.
07:47He would shut the firm down like that if you found out.
07:52Stop throwing yourself at me, please.
07:54You're embarrassing the both of us.
07:56Yeah, fine.
08:00I'm sorry.
08:06No, oh my God, I am so sorry.
08:07I didn't mean to yell at you.
08:08It's fine.
08:11I'm fine.
08:12No.
08:12Maggie.
08:19That's beautiful, Maggie.
08:36It's nothing.
08:41Just a doodle.
08:42It's incredible.
08:43You have a real eye.
08:47That's what Mom used to say.
08:49I'm so sorry, Doudreau.
09:01I know you've had a hard time.
09:03When I, uh...
09:06When I lost Lauren, I, uh...
09:10It was painful.
09:12But, uh...
09:14You're not alone.
09:16It doesn't feel that way.
09:17My dad doesn't give a shit about me.
09:19After Mom died, he barely fucking talked to me.
09:22Oh, except to tell me that an art degree was a waste of my time and his money.
09:26You know your father cares about you.
09:28No, he doesn't.
09:30No one does.
09:31I do.
09:31I do.
10:03I, uh...
10:06Just wanted to say I was sorry about earlier.
10:10Um...
10:11Your artwork really is beautiful.
10:21Oh, Maggie.
10:36Oh, fuck.
10:39Maggie.
10:40Oh, my fucking God.
10:45Oh, Maggie.
10:46Oh.
10:46Oh, my God.
10:52Shit, I...
10:54I fucking knew it.
10:55This isn't what it looks like.
10:56Oh, so you weren't enjoying yourself to photos of me?
11:01No, absolutely not.
11:02I...
11:02So you don't think I look good?
11:05I do.
11:07I mean, no, that's not what I meant.
11:08I, I, I...
11:09You don't fantasize about me?
11:13I, uh...
11:13You don't want me?
11:17I do.
11:19But I can't, I can't give in to those feelings.
11:22Do you understand?
11:24Who said anything about feelings?
11:25I, uh...
11:29I, uh...
11:31I, uh...
11:31I, uh...
11:32I, uh...
11:34The Japanese are ready to close.
11:36They just need a few more assurances.
11:38Should be able to wrap this up in the next few weeks.
11:42Month tops.
11:43But more importantly, I wanted to talk to you about Maggie.
11:46I, I'm really sorry to make you babysit, but...
11:49You're the only man I trust with my little girl.
11:52I know you'll take good care of her.
11:54Logan, can you help me with something?
12:03Oh, yeah.
12:06Jesus Christ, Maggie, this, this is so fucking...
12:09He said you'd help me this summer and...
12:11My hand's getting a little tired.
12:13This is wrong.
12:23No one has to know.
12:25It could be our little secret.
12:26Okay.
12:26You don't need this with me.
12:46We do this, we do it my way.
12:49We can have sex once.
12:51You hear me?
12:52That is it.
12:58That is it.
13:04Is that understood?
13:08Yes.
13:11Please, Logan.
13:12Please.
13:19Oh, oh, oh, I...
13:21We were...
13:22Yeah.
13:24Why not?
13:25I thought you said you were desperate for it.
13:28Um, wait, wait, it's just...
13:31Well, what is it?
13:32Look, I know I talk a big game, and I want to.
13:40God.
13:43Believe me, I want to.
13:45I just...
13:47I've never done this before.
13:51Fuck.
13:52I'm a virgin.
13:57I'm nervous, okay?
13:59Hey.
13:59Look at me.
14:03Are you sure you want this?
14:06Yes.
14:07I do.
14:08I want this.
14:13I'm going to take care of you, Doudrop.
14:15I promise.
14:16Oh, my God.
14:30I don't know.
15:00I don't know.
15:07Does that feel good?
15:13Mm-hmm.
15:15Tell me.
15:16What are your words?
15:19Yes.
15:21It feels good, Logan.
15:22Yeah.
15:30That's my girl.
15:39Are you ready?
15:54Are you sure?
15:57Logan, I love this.
16:01I want you.
16:02I love you.
16:07I love you.
16:09I love you.
16:10I love you.
16:11I love you.
16:14Well?
16:18That was perfect.
16:34I'm surprised.
16:36Honestly, I thought you and that guy were...
16:39Carter?
16:40Yeah.
16:44Yeah, we've fooled around, but...
16:46Oh, no.
16:47He wasn't the one.
16:49You know?
16:56You are.
16:57I think it's time we set some new rules, Doudrop.
17:07Ugh.
17:08I hate rules.
17:09I...
17:10You know, we said one time...
17:12And I...
17:13I can't...
17:14I can't have these distractions right now.
17:15Not with the Tokyo deal this close.
17:17And your father...
17:18Don't worry about my father.
17:20I won't tell him.
17:21It's not like we talk anyways.
17:22It's not just that.
17:24I...
17:25I can't...
17:28I can't give you what you want.
17:30I can't...
17:32Give you...
17:34What you deserve.
17:35I know you miss Lauren.
17:44But it's okay to...
17:46I'm serious.
17:50It's gotta go back to the way it was between us, okay?
17:55No more touching.
17:58It'll...
17:59It'll be good, right?
18:00We could...
18:01We could...
18:02We could put this behind us now.
18:05Right?
18:07We got it out of our system.
18:14Mm-hmm.
18:34It's right!
18:36We can't even get the tea juice.
18:39Go, go, go, go!
18:40It's okay.
18:41Oh no, my God!
18:42Yeah, I believe they're all myахers because Jen is bright and you should check your Hands spec on your hands!
18:46Like, change it!
18:47Oh no more!
18:49Aw yeah!
18:55What?
18:56I believe Tenoy stays even more...
19:00Doodrop, I thought you weren't out.
19:21You're gonna burn.
19:26Mr. Mallory, phone call.
19:30We said no touching. You need to go.
19:35See you later, Mr. Mallory.
19:40Get a fucking grip, Logan. She is your best friend's daughter.
19:44She is off. Limits.
19:46Maggie, I need to talk to you.
20:01Is everything...
20:02I can't do this anymore.
20:03Do what?
20:04I can't have you in this house anymore.
20:06But I've been following all of your rules.
20:07Okay, that time you were working out, but it was just a towel, and in the pool, it was just sunscreen.
20:14Look, I told your father I would look after you while he was in Japan.
20:20I'm gonna book you a hotel in the city. You can stay there for the rest of the summer.
20:23I thought everything was good between us.
20:26You don't...
20:27You don't want me here.
20:40Look, I'm going into the office, and I won't be back until late.
20:47But I expect you out of here by the time I return.
20:51Is that understood?
20:52Yes, I understand, Mr. Mallory.
21:10It's just so frustrating.
21:12Like, I know he's hurting.
21:15I get that.
21:16But I can be there for him.
21:17I can help.
21:19You know, he's just doing the same shit he always does and pushing me away.
21:22I thought it would be different.
21:27After we...
21:32Vian, come here.
21:37You know, there's plenty of other fish in the sea.
21:41I mean, who knows, there might even be fish in this tide pool.
21:46Oh, yeah.
21:47Mr. No-strings-attached.
21:49You want a relationship with feelings and emotions.
21:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
21:52Fuck all the feelings and shit.
21:54I'm talking about good, clean fun.
21:56Where no one gets hurt.
21:58I mean...
21:59We had fun, didn't we?
22:03I think that's just what the doctor ordered.
22:05Fun, actually.
22:07Yeah, how about a party?
22:09You and me.
22:11Get the most out of this place while you're still here?
22:13Fuck it.
22:19Oh, man.
22:24One, two, three.
22:30Woo!
22:32Hey, girl.
22:33See?
22:34It's all fun.
22:35No feelings.
22:36I thought he actually cared.
22:42It's stupid.
22:43I know.
22:45Have you ever heard the term,
22:48the best way to get over someone
22:51is to get under someone else?
22:55I would be happy to volunteer.
22:58Come on.
23:03Let's dance.
23:04Come on.
23:04Let's dance.
23:06I miss this version of Maggie.
23:27Maggie, it's way better than
23:30Mopey Boomer Obsessed, Maggie.
23:32I'm not obsessed.
23:35Prove it.
23:36Ty.
23:52Ty.
23:52Ty.
23:53Ty.
23:54Ty.
23:54Ty.
23:54Ty.
24:02Maggie, are you fucking serious?
24:10Yeah, that's fucking funny.
24:15You know the rules.
24:17No boys.
24:18The rules don't imply anymore.
24:20You kicked me out, remember?
24:22Jesus Christ, Maggie.
24:24Can't you take a little responsibility for your actions?
24:27You gotta think about your future.
24:28What future?
24:29Your degree, for one.
24:31And your career, for another.
24:32Fuck a degree.
24:34I dropped out.
24:35You what?
24:37Who cares?
24:39I want to have fun.
24:43That's it.
24:44I'm taking you to bed.
24:45Party's over.
24:46Get the fuck out.
24:50Now!
24:53He's my guest.
24:54You can't just kick him out.
24:55Stop!
24:57Logan!
24:58Logan!
24:58Stop!
25:00Stop!
25:01Logan, put me down.
25:04Watch your head, man.
25:05Seriously, I'm not a child.
25:10Oh?
25:17Your room.
25:19Change your mind?
25:20No chance.
25:22Party pooper.
25:24All of it.
25:33All of it.
25:36I'm good at swallowing.
25:38Yeah.
25:40Mm-hmm.
25:40Come here.
25:41Why are you being so nice?
25:56Aren't you mad?
25:58Oh.
25:58I am mad, all right.
26:01But I told you I'd take care of you.
26:04And I meant it.
26:06Let me get you under the covers.
26:07Let's see.
26:08Oh, wait, wait.
26:26Don't go.
26:33Please.
26:34I'm not going anywhere.
26:46Hey.
26:47Get some sleep.
26:48And we'll talk in the morning.
26:49Hey.
26:50Hey.
26:51Hey.
26:52Hey.
27:12Hey.
27:13Hey.
27:15Hey.
27:16Hey.
27:16Oh, morning.
27:29What am I going to do with you, Doudrop?
27:36Well, you care about me, right?
27:46And I care about you.
27:51You're attracted to me.
27:53Maggie.
27:53And I'm attracted to you.
27:55It's really not that complicated.
27:58You know that it is.
28:01You're half my age and your father is my business partner.
28:05He's my best friend.
28:07He doesn't have to know.
28:10I can't.
28:12I'm not interested in another relationship.
28:14I can't do that again.
28:18What if it's just casual?
28:22Seriously, Logan.
28:24When was the last time you let yourself live a little?
28:29Three nights ago.
28:30For you.
28:32And didn't that feel good?
28:44I don't know.
28:55Hey, it's okay.
28:57Just do whatever feels good.
29:00Well, what are you doing?
29:14I guess I don't know if it feels good, right?
29:24Morgan?
29:25Can I speak with you?
29:26What the hell do you think you're doing with that girl?
29:47I just imagined...
29:47She needs to be disciplined.
29:50Did you see what she did to the living room?
29:51Yeah.
29:54I'm gonna talk to her.
29:56And it won't happen again.
29:57I thought you were gonna throw out that ungrateful little bitch.
30:01Estelle.
30:03Watch yourself.
30:06Maggie is...
30:08My friend.
30:09And her father is my friend.
30:10And I...
30:11I just hate seeing her push you around like this.
30:15You don't need the aggravation.
30:17Hmm.
30:18I hate watching you hurting.
30:21Remember how I took care of you after Lauren passed?
30:26I was there for you.
30:28Every step of the way.
30:30And I am grateful to you, Estelle.
30:34But Maggie, she's none of your business.
30:38Okay?
30:40Now, if you'll excuse me.
30:42I got a busy day today.
30:46Okay.
30:46Okay.
30:46Want to play hooky and go get some pizza?
31:07I, uh...
31:08I got a dozen reports to do, Maggie.
31:11I...
31:11Oh, come on.
31:13All work, no play makes Logan a dull boy.
31:15Oh, thank you.
31:28Oh, uh-uh.
31:30No work.
31:32You're going to have fun if it absolutely kills me.
31:39Hmm.
31:39Hmm.
31:39Hey.
31:53What was it?
31:54Nothing.
31:55Just...
31:56Just some girls from my old university.
31:59When I dropped out, they started this rumor that I...
32:02Became a stripper.
32:04You want to tell me why you dropped out?
32:08I'm guessing your dad doesn't know.
32:11Of course not.
32:13He prefers to pretend I don't exist anymore.
32:15I think I reminded my mom.
32:22After she died, he kind of just threw himself into work.
32:30I tried to do that with school.
32:32But after being there a while, I was just like, what's the point, you know?
32:37You only live once.
32:39You might as well have fun while you're here.
32:41I get it.
32:42I do.
32:43Trust me.
32:46But doesn't just having fun get boring?
32:49Don't you feel like you're wasting your potential by just...
32:52Wow!
32:52What is it with a third degree, dude?
32:55What?
32:55You a therapist as well as a CEO?
32:57You are a...
32:59talented artist.
33:02I'd hate to see you throw it away for...
33:04parties...
33:06and meaningless sex.
33:08Meaningless.
33:08Okay.
33:25I'm the therapist now.
33:27Let's talk about you and your afflictions, shall we?
33:31Afflictions?
33:32What afflictions?
33:33The rules.
33:34The obsession with work.
33:35I mean, you're literally cutting your pizza into bite-sized pieces.
33:41I've never seen anyone so controlling.
33:44What gives?
33:50When Lauren died, I was a fucking wreck.
33:53Couldn't eat.
33:54Could hardly get out of bed.
33:57Estelle had to nurse me back to health.
34:00She'll tell you.
34:01She is the reason that I am alive.
34:07I felt powerless.
34:12Works what saved me.
34:14It gave me...
34:15something to focus on.
34:18Gave me structure.
34:20Gave me purpose.
34:21Gave me.
34:22Gave me.
34:23I'm sorry.
34:25Hey.
34:30I'm sorry, Logan.
34:33I know how it...
34:36awful it feels to lose someone.
34:42But...
34:43I think it's time
34:46to stop
34:48and
34:48smell the roses.
34:57What?
34:58Uh-huh.
34:59Mm-hmm.
34:59Oh.
35:01Come on.
35:02Yes.
35:04Come on.
35:04Ah, come on.
35:07All right.
35:09Okay.
35:10Better?
35:18Better?
35:18It's good.
35:25Hey.
35:26Come with me.
35:27I think I know how to get back
35:28at those, uh, those girls.
35:31Come on.
35:33Come on.
35:33Follow my lead.
35:45You're a very impressive
35:46young woman, Miss Shirley.
35:48The courage it takes
35:49to leave school,
35:50to invest in yourself
35:51and in your business.
35:53It's inspiring.
35:56You know what?
35:56We're actually, um,
35:57renovating our Los Angeles headquarters
35:59and I would love
36:00to commission
36:00a few dozen
36:01of your paintings
36:02in our office.
36:04That sounds excellent,
36:05Mr. Mallory.
36:06I can't wait to begin.
36:18That was amazing!
36:21You know, I'm serious.
36:22I would love
36:23to buy a piece from you.
36:26Really?
36:26More roses to sniff.
36:41Age before beauty.
36:50Ooh.
36:52Um, yeah.
36:53Try again.
36:58Okay.
37:06Here.
37:12Okay.
37:12Okay, listen.
37:13Like that, yeah.
37:14Yeah, try it again.
37:15Okay.
37:16Okay.
37:16Okay.
37:17You like teasing me, huh?
37:29Maybe.
37:31I think it's my turn
37:34to tease you.
37:35Huh?
37:36Yeah.
37:39Let's get the fuck
37:42out of here.
37:43Mm-hmm.
37:44You're welcome.
37:45Please, Logan.
37:53Oh, my God.
37:55I need...
37:56What?
37:56What do you need, Doudra?
37:58I need you.
37:59I need you.
37:59I need you.
38:03I fucking knew it.
38:12You little whore.
38:14Estelle, calm down.
38:18Maggie, I'm gonna handle this.
38:19You go upstairs.
38:20I'll be up in a minute.
38:21That's right.
38:22Run, bitch.
38:23Excuse me?
38:24Maggie, go.
38:31Hey, you do not speak to her.
38:34Does Richard know?
38:34You're gonna throw away
38:38that friendship,
38:39your partnership,
38:41everything that you've
38:42worked so hard for?
38:44And for what?
38:47I am not gonna sit back
38:48and just let you
38:49ruin your life.
38:52Either you end things
38:53with her,
38:53or I'm going to tell
38:55Richard.
38:56You're right.
38:58I'll end things with Maggie.
39:00It's for the best,
39:01Logan.
39:02Hey, Maggie,
39:08I need to talk to you.
39:11Maggie?
39:20Estelle.
39:22Hey,
39:23where's Maggie?
39:25I thought you weren't
39:25concerned with her anymore.
39:27I'm her guardian.
39:28Where is she?
39:29She went out.
39:30Where?
39:44Either you end things
39:45with her,
39:46or I'm going to tell
39:47Richard, Richard.
39:51Oh, my God.
39:53Another piece?
39:54You're right.
40:01I want things with Maggie.
40:02Maggie.
40:03Who's the
40:05woman of your life?
40:06Woo!
40:07It's just a disguise.
40:10It gets you nowhere.
40:14Oh, my God.
40:15Oh, my God.
40:16Oh.
40:16Oh, my God.
40:17Oh, my God.
40:18Oh, my God.
40:18Oh, my God.
40:18Oh, my God.
40:18Oh, my God.
40:19Oh, my God.
40:20Oh, my God.
40:20Oh, my God.
40:22I've got to stay, stay here
40:27The hunters will hunt, take us home
40:32Oh, sorry.
40:39What are you doing here?
40:41What? You get lost on your way to the office?
40:44How much have you had to drink?
40:47That is none of my...
40:50Your business, mister
40:52Maggie, look, let's just, let's go home
40:54No, I'm not going to go, Hugh
40:57Maggie, please, listen, I know that you're upset with me
41:00But you shouldn't be out alone when you're this drunk
41:02Since when do you give a shit?
41:04Of course I do
41:05You know, you want me to come home with you?
41:08Drink me for it
41:08You out drink me
41:11And then I'll go
41:13Deal?
41:17Seriously
41:18Seriously
41:19You always made me play by your dumb rules
41:21Now you play by mine
41:23Fine
41:26You're on
41:28Are you sure you want to do this?
41:35Where you can't you bub, old man
41:37Three, two, one, go
41:40You can tap out any time
42:08Never
42:09Never
42:09Oh
42:11I think I'll take my prize now
42:26What, no
42:27You cheated
42:28I
42:30Run
42:30Hey, let me help you take your boots off
42:38I don't need your help
42:43Oh yeah
42:44You are a fucking coward
42:49You know that
42:50And you are drunk
42:52You know that
42:53Well
42:55You're a drunk too
42:58You are a fucking impossible spoiled brat
43:11Fuck
43:14And you love it
43:16And you love it
43:17Damn it
43:21Just fuck me already
43:28Oh my god
43:29Oh my god
43:30Oh my god
43:31Oh my god
43:31Stop
43:45Stop
43:55New steps up.
43:56Substitution.
43:57Oh, yeah?
44:03Now I've got you.
44:04Yes, you do.
44:08So, what's on the agenda today?
44:12Client lunches, quarterly reports, maybe even a board meeting.
44:18Actually, I thought I'd take the day off today.
44:20Go make some pancakes, chill in the jacuzzi.
44:25Maybe I'll talk about that painting I'm going to buy from you.
44:28What are you saying?
44:30Race you to the kitchen.
44:33Come on, old man, keep up.
44:42Stop it, don't you?
44:44Put me down, you're going to break your back.
44:47Maggie.
44:47Uh, Dad, what are you doing here?
44:56Richard, I realized you'd be back so soon.
44:59I called him.
45:03She said something was wrong?
45:06What's going on?
45:07Go on, tell him.
45:09Uh, Dad.
45:17Logan and I are...
45:18Maggie dropped out of school.
45:20You what?
45:21Is this true?
45:23Yes, but I...
45:24Go, go to your room.
45:25Pack your things.
45:26I'll deal with you later.
45:27Dad!
45:28Go!
45:28Put some clothes on, for God's sake.
45:35Logan, I am so sorry you had to deal with this.
45:37I told her to behave herself.
45:40Mr. Shirley, I actually invited you here to discuss something else.
45:44That'll be all, Estelle.
45:47Again, my apologies.
45:55We'll be out of your hair soon enough.
45:57It's okay.
45:58There are a couple of last-minute changes I want to do to the Tokyo contract before I get your eyes on it.
46:03Do you mind if I use your office?
46:05Um, yeah, okay.
46:08Come on, man, cheer up.
46:10This deal is everything you wanted, right?
46:13Okay.
46:17Get out.
46:30Maggie.
46:31Hey.
46:32What the hell was that?
46:34What, you're just gonna throw me to the wolves to save your own ass?
46:36He's your father, not the wolves.
46:37I can't believe you would do that to me.
46:39Why didn't you just tell him that we...
46:41Because we can't.
46:43Okay, we can't just tell him.
46:46Look.
46:48I know that's what I mean.
46:49My business.
46:51My whole life.
46:52It'll implode if this gets out.
46:55Your whole life.
46:56You know how much this means to me.
46:59Don't I mean something to you?
47:02We love each other.
47:04Right?
47:04You can't keep hiding behind the business anymore, Logan.
47:11You need to live.
47:13You need to love.
47:14And be loved.
47:16I know you're afraid.
47:19You think I wasn't scared to let you in?
47:22It's okay to let someone take care of you.
47:26You taught me that.
47:27Max, I can't.
47:38I can't do it, Maggie.
47:39Yeah, I care about you.
47:47But I can't just give up.
47:49I can't give up everything that I've worked for.
47:54I am so sorry.
47:57Maggie, you ready?
47:59Let's go.
47:59Yeah, Dad.
48:05I'm done here.
48:07Okay.
48:21Okay.
48:21I will call the dean on Monday
48:25and see what kind of magic I can pull off
48:27to get you back into class.
48:28I'm not going.
48:29I know what's best for you, Maggie.
48:31I'm your father.
48:32Right.
48:33Father of the fucking year.
48:34Excuse me?
48:36You left mom and me
48:37months before she died.
48:41I had to figure out
48:42how to deal with not having a mom
48:43all on my own.
48:45And yeah,
48:46you know, maybe it wasn't in the healthiest way.
48:49But I'm trying to be better.
48:52So fuck you.
48:54You don't get to just come in here
48:55and be my dad now.
48:57How dare you talk to me like that?
48:59After all the fucking money
49:00I put in that school,
49:01I'm doing my absolute best
49:03trying to provide for you.
49:04Hey, Richard.
49:06Relax, man.
49:07She's not...
49:08Wait, why are you defending her?
49:10She's just a spoiled brat
49:12who has no idea
49:13how the real world works.
49:15Hey, don't talk about it like that.
49:17Oh.
49:18Why are you getting involved, Logan?
49:20This is none of your business.
49:23It is my business.
49:27Because I love her.
49:29What?
49:29I love your daughter.
49:38This summer,
49:39staying in the same house,
49:41we fell in love.
49:43Estelle threatened to expose
49:45our love to you
49:45if I didn't break things off.
49:47And I did.
49:48At first.
49:50And I wanted to protect our business.
49:52I wanted to protect our friendship.
49:53But I can't do it anymore.
49:55I don't want to.
50:00I love you.
50:02Doudrop.
50:07You fucking monster!
50:09That's my little girl!
50:10No, come on.
50:11Stop!
50:11Don't hurt him!
50:12I'm not a little girl anymore!
50:14I'm an adult.
50:15I'm fully capable of...
50:16He took advantage of you, man.
50:18No, he didn't!
50:19I love him.
50:21You and I are done.
50:30Sorry.
50:32I can't believe you did that.
50:34You were right about everything.
50:35One of the reasons I love you.
50:40What about the deal and your business?
50:42No, there's more to life than work.
50:44You taught me that.
50:45Besides,
50:49maybe it's time I branch off on my own.
50:51Right?
50:51I start my own company.
50:54What the hell?
50:57What are we gonna do now?
50:59I have an idea.
51:03Estelle, come in here.
51:09What the hell is she still doing here?
51:11You want to do the honors?
51:15You were right about there only being enough room for one woman in this house.
51:25But, unfortunately for you, that woman is me.
51:29So, fuck off, why don't you?
51:34Logan!
51:36Logan!
51:38Please, the only reason I called him is because I care about you.
51:41You blackmailed me because you care about me?
51:44Seriously?
51:46Just, just go, Estelle.
51:47Your services are no longer required.
51:54God, that felt good.
51:58Hey.
52:00I'm sorry about your father.
52:03It's fine.
52:04He's hardly part of my life anyways.
52:06It's okay.
52:09I'm okay.
52:10I'm okay.
52:12I'm better than okay.
52:14Because I have you.
52:18Mm-hmm.
52:22Ben?
52:24Um, yeah.
52:26Just give me a few minutes.
52:28I'll be up soon.
52:29I mean it.
52:31No more fucking psycho housekeeper to keep me distracted from you.
52:41All right.
52:51Yeah.
52:52Hey, it's me.
52:53Don't hang up.
53:05What is this?
53:07Arranging out to CalArts, seeing if they'll take me as a chance for next semester.
53:12You inspired me.
53:14Don't worry.
53:15I'll still honor your commission.
53:16Expecting company?
53:28Come here.
53:39What the hell is he doing here?
53:41Maggie.
53:42I invited him over.
53:44Hear him out.
53:46I wanted to apologize to you both.
53:57I know I reacted poorly.
53:59That's an understatement.
54:01Thanks.
54:02Come on.
54:03After your mom passed away, I was so ashamed.
54:08I hated myself for not being there.
54:11For not putting my family before my work.
54:13And instead of talking to you, I doubled down.
54:20I said to myself that I was doing it for you.
54:23And that you'd be better off without me in your life.
54:25But I was wrong.
54:28I can see that now.
54:30I'm so sorry, Maggie.
54:36Logan.
54:37I'm proud of you for not making the same mistake I did.
54:42You're a good man.
54:43A man I'm proud to call my business partner.
54:48But just so you know, if you ever hurt her again, you'll get worse for me than a black guy.
54:54You understand?
54:56Yeah.
54:58Yeah.
54:58Does that mean we have your blessing?
55:09You do.
55:12You do.
55:24Sorry.
55:24I was not expecting that.
55:40What the hell did you say to him?
55:42I told him the truth.
55:44That you're an incredible young woman.
55:47You're smart.
55:48You're talented.
55:50Funny.
55:50That after Lauren, I never thought I would love again.
55:56That I would truly live again.
56:00But you taught me how to do both.
56:04That I would understand.
56:07If he'd want nothing to do with me.
56:10But he would be an idiot.
56:12To cut you out of his life.
56:17Of course.
56:20I would do anything for you.
56:22I love you, Doudrop.
56:26And I love you, Logan.
56:28Red Dragon.
56:55I love you.
