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

00:09:09you're gonna need that

00:09:12coming

00:09:16we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure

00:09:19it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing

00:09:26down operation times and shifting our operations to detroit might create bottlenecks we we just can't

00:09:32afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate i need solutions faster not

00:09:39more excuses people we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet

00:09:44um sorry to interrupt

00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your

00:09:57existing rail contracts to offset the overflow

00:10:02so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics

00:10:05uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but

00:10:12cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure

00:10:17it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting

00:10:21you down entirely actually that could work worth a shot i mean obviously my team would need to

00:10:28take a look at it and sort out the details is there anything else i should know about my business

00:10:34uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all

00:11:04right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my position with

00:11:09the board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job lincoln a good leader isn't threatened

00:11:16by his employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control

00:11:22well the board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive

00:15:40We are celebrating, Mr. CEO

00:15:43Not until after I get board approval

00:15:45So, what did you want to talk to me about?

00:15:55Malia and I thought it would be nice

00:15:58To spend more time as a family

00:16:00It's not easy on her poor little heart

00:16:03Malia, honey

00:16:06You and I talked about this, right?

00:16:08Your mother and I love you very much

00:16:10It's just

00:16:12It's not easy for us to be around each other right now

00:16:17Maybe

00:16:19We could try a little harder

00:16:23Hey

00:16:31I just wanted to give you a status report before I head home

00:16:34Thank you, Ms. Livingston

00:16:36So, regarding South Korea

00:16:40I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week

00:16:42I'm working

00:16:43Like the world is sending

00:16:46You can tell that it's all right

00:16:50It's all right

00:16:52It's all right

00:16:53I can, are you listening to me?

00:16:59Sorry, as I was saying

00:17:01Where was I?

00:17:03You can just take your top off

00:17:04Oh my god

00:17:06I meant you can just take it from the top

00:17:09I gotta go

00:17:14No soy sauce in this whole building

00:17:27They're still here

00:17:30That's surprising

00:17:31You and my brother getting along better?

00:17:35Yep, everything's just peachy

00:17:37So, that little argument you guys had the other day

00:17:42What was that?

00:17:42A lover's quarrel?

00:17:45Look who's blushing

00:17:46I am not blushing

00:17:49And that wasn't a lover's quarrel

00:17:51He doesn't like me like that

00:17:53So he didn't run after you in the elevator

00:17:56And sweep you off your feet?

00:17:58Chase

00:17:58Lakin

00:18:00So we were just talking about you

00:18:03Lovely assistant you've got here

00:18:05Such a sweetheart

00:18:06Anywho, I gotta go

00:18:07I'll talk to you later, Alex

00:18:08You needed me for something?

00:18:14The company's hosting a charity

00:18:16Fundraiser tomorrow night

00:18:17And I need you to go with me

00:18:19You need a date?

00:18:22No, what I need is my assistant close by

00:18:25So, if you have any plans

00:18:28Just go ahead and cancel them

00:18:30And here

00:18:31Take my card and buy yourself a dress this afternoon

00:18:34Try to keep it under $10,000, all right?

00:18:38No problem

00:18:39I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch

00:18:41Got it

00:18:45Under $10,000

00:18:46Oh

00:18:49And seeing as I'm buying

00:18:51I like red

00:18:54I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall

00:19:08Just go ahead and watch

00:19:09Just go ahead and watch

00:19:10And see you all

00:19:11I want to take your friend

00:19:12I want to take your friend

00:19:15I want to take your friend

00:19:47I thought I said I like red.

00:20:03Did you? Oops. Must have slipped my mind.

00:20:17Looks like we're almost there.

00:20:32Remember, this is a work event. The whole board is going to be there. It's easy on the drinks.

00:20:37Do as I say, not as I do.

00:20:52You ready?

00:20:56You ready?

00:20:58What I say?

00:21:03What I say.

00:21:05Alright, what I say.

00:21:06Here.

00:21:07So, Miss Livingston.

00:21:38I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight, and you lied to me.

00:21:46Your name's not Alexandra, is it?

00:21:51I thought only HR 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.

00:22:03My 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.

00:22:23Alex.

00:22:26I mean, I'm sorry.

00:22:28I think I owe you a drink.

00:22:37I'll be right back.

00:22:38Look, that's you.

00:22:46You look stunning.

00:22:49See the dress?

00:22:53Let's get to turn you and me straight.

00:22:55Picked it out just for you.

00:22:56It's perfect.

00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?

00:22:58For you.

00:23:19Hey, 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.

00:23:47It'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, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?

00:24:02Right.

00:24:14So, something going on between you and my brother?

00:24:20Jase?

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, I'd say you sound jealous.

00:24:30Don't be ridiculous.

00:24:32I'm just looking out for my assistant.

00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested.

00:24:39He's, you know.

00:24:42He's what?

00:24:43You don't know.

00:24:44You don't know?

00:24:46You don't know?

00:24:49Never mind.

00:24:50So, you guys aren't that close then?

00:24:53Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.

00:24:56If you hadn't noticed, if you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.

00:25:01It's important to make time for family, Lincoln.

00:25:04That's none of your concern.

00:25:06Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.

00:25:12It's unprofessional.

00:25:13Well, what, this?

00:25:18This is just two co-workers dancing.

00:25:21Right, a totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.

00:25:27It's completely innocent.

00:25:30Hmm.

00:25:31We're barely touching.

00:25:37Lincoln.

00:25:40Dad.

00:25:42Well, some of our board members are already here.

00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.

00:25:47Miss Livingston?

00:25:48Shall we?

00:25:56Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.

00:26:01Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.

00:26:08Miss Livingston has been a welcomed 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, making sure everything's running smoothly.

00:26:34I like it.

00:26:35What are you doing here?

00:26:37I 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.

00:26:45I 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?

00:27:30Are 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.

00:27:42I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.

00:27:44I just...

00:27:47I 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.

00:28:17Excuse 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.

00:28:34So tense.

00:28:36I 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?

00:29:07Camilla, don't.

00:29:11Kiss me.

00:29:12If you don't feel anything, I'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.

00:29:32You don't want me to make a scene, do you?

00:29:35Because you know I will.

00:29:37Let 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.

00:29:48Not having any fun?

00:30:13Let's see if we can change that.

00:30:28It'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.

00:30:38So it's the last call, right?

00:30:41I go up to the bar looking for this guy.

00:30:43Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.

00:30:45Oh my God!

00:30:46Stop!

00:30:49Something funny?

00:30:54Time to go.

00:30:59It's okay.

00:30:59Arturo.

00:31:09Take 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.

00:31:28Interrupt.

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?

00:31:44I thought you weren't attracted to me.

00:31:46I'm not.

00:31:48Oh yeah?

00:31:49Yeah.

00:31:51Liar.

00:31:57I didn't expect you to have tattoos.

00:32:16Yeah, well, there's a lot you don't know about me.

00:32:18That cost $8,000.

00:32:28Yeah, my fucking money.

00:32:31Now get the hell over here.

00:32:39Is that a scar?

00:32:42It's odd.

00:32:46Fuck me.

00:32:47I'll be back.

00:32:49I'm sorry.

00:32:49Leave us at some mouth away.

00:32:51Tonight that we both fell in.

00:32:53I wanna go away.

00:32:55I wanna be with you.

00:32:57I wanna be with you.

00:32:57We can't let this slip away.

00:32:59You know I know I won't give this thing.

00:33:01Cause I wanna be with you.

00:33:03I wanna be with you.

00:33:05I'll run away.

00:33:06We can't let this go too waste.

00:33:08I don't want to go to your house.

00:33:13Don't let this go too waste.

00:33:15Don't let this go too much.

00:33:22You, uh, want to come inside?

00:33:49Uh, no.

00:33:52Right. No. Of course not.

00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.

00:34:19Morning.

00:34:21Morning.

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. Laken 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.

00:34:46Laken's got some serious trust issues.

00:34:49Like, he needs therapy about it.

00:34:52Camilla really messed him up.

00:34:53Look, I consider myself a feminist, right? That bitch is a gold digger.

00:34:59I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career. It took him, like, three

00:35:03years to come to his senses, and when he finally did, oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly

00:35:07pregnant?

00:35:08I don't know.

00:35:09I don't know.

00:35:10I don't know.

00:35:11I don't know.

00:35:12I don't know.

00:35:13Jesus.

00:35:14Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened. It sounds like he's been through

00:35:16a lot.

00:35:17Oh, look. I gotta run to a meeting. How about you come over for dinner tonight? Seven? I'll

00:35:28text you the details.

00:35:30Yeah, I'm down.

00:35:32Great.

00:35:47I can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.

00:35:55Dad insisted. Something about never getting to see Malia these days. I wanted to have

00:36:01the gala postmortem at the office. You know, like, normal business partners and not...

00:36:06Family members.

00:36:07Exactly.

00:36:12Did you, uh, give Alex a ride on Saturday?

00:36:17Grandpa, I told you it's me.

00:36:21You?

00:36:22Ah, you're too tall.

00:36:24No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.

00:36:28Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?

00:36:30Hmm.

00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.

00:36:33Are we expecting company?

00:36:47Tell him to send an extra plate.

00:36:55Alex?

00:36:56Lincoln?

00:36:57You made it!

00:36:58Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.

00:37:24Me neither.

00:37:25It's okay.

00:37:37I don't like asparagus either.

00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.

00:37:43He's right.

00:37:45It is.

00:37:47Look on the bright side.

00:37:48At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?

00:37:59That was delicious.

00:38:00All right.

00:38:04Miss Livingston.

00:38:07A word.

00:38:07Uh, Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.

00:38:20Alex, 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.

00:38:29You planned this, didn't you?

00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.

00:38:37Thank you, Jace.

00:38:38You're very welcome.

00:38:39Jace, don't...

00:38:40Bye.

00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?

00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?

00:38:47But I want to hang out with Alex.

00:38:49Please, Daddy, please.

00:38:51Please.

00:38:51I'll be right back.

00:39:11Hey.

00:39:14Come on.

00:39:15Come on.

00:39:21Come on.

00:39:51She likes you, you know?

00:39:56She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.

00:39:59I like her, too.

00:40:07So, are we gonna figure out what happened?

00:40:11Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?

00:40:16Your job is not in danger.

00:40:17Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.

00:40:25What do you want me to say, Alex?

00:40:27I...

00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant.

00:40:31Not with the board watching my every move.

00:40:33But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...

00:40:41I 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 all of my problems and no.

00:41:17I can't make it through.

00:41:21Every night is the same.

00:41:23I keep running fast, left and right.

00:41:26Wondering where my head's gone now.

00:41:28I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems and no.

00:41:37Malia, hurry.

00:41:38Come on.

00:41:39Come on.

00:41:40Come on.

00:41:41Let's go, Malia.

00:41:42Come on.

00:41:43Mom!

00:41:44Faster.

00:41:46Hey.

00:41:48Uh, Lakin's not here right now.

00:41:50He just landed in New York.

00:41:51New York.

00:41:52I know.

00:41:53But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.

00:41:56Going to LA.

00:41:59Business trip.

00:42:00So, she's all yours.

00:42:02Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be childcare.

00:42:05I'm sure you'll figure something out.

00:42:09Mommy loves you, Malia.

00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?

00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?

00:42:22Hey, hey.

00:42:24It's okay, Malia.

00:42:26Alex, what's going on?

00:42:39Hey, we have a problem.

00:42:41Camilla 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.

00:42:52Hi, honey.

00:42:53Are you okay?

00:42:54Hi.

00:42:54Listen, uh, Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...

00:42:59I'm going to be back tonight, and 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.

00:43:10I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.

00:43:13So much for that family time she wanted.

00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.

00:43:18Okay.

00:43:19Bye.

00:43:28Okay, so we'll get you fed.

00:43:30I can help you with your homework.

00:43:31And by the time your dad gets back...

00:43:33Is that too much rice?

00:43:37I'm sorry.

00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.

00:43:41Has your mom done this before?

00:43:50Sort of.

00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work trips.

00:44:00Work trips.

00:44:01Huh.

00:44:03Does your dad know about this?

00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him.

00:44:08She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.

00:44:14Shit!

00:44:14I mean, shoot!

00:44:15Shoot!

00:44:16Oh, my God!

00:44:35Malia!

00:44:36Malia!

00:44:40I'm sorry.

00:44:41I didn't mean to.

00:44:46Better?

00:44:56Better?

00:44:59Good.

00:45:04How will we order some pizza?

00:45:09Hmm.

00:45:16Malia?

00:45:29Malia?

00:45:32Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?

00:45:39You can talk to me.

00:45:42Believe me.

00:45:43I understand.

00:45:44I understand.

00:45:46What do you mean?

00:45:51It's from surgery.

00:45:53I was born with a heart defect.

00:45:55Just like you.

00:45:57Really?

00:45:59I didn't know anyone was like me.

00:46:02I didn't know anyone was like me.

00:46:16Even...

00:46:16I don't know anyone was like me.

00:46:25I don't know anyone was like me.

00:46:27I didn't know anybody was like me.

00:46:28It was like me right away.

00:46:31But I know I totally know someone to tell you.

00:46:31Me.

00:46:31I can. Hi. Hi. Can I see Malia?

00:47:01Daddy, shh. It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here. Go back to sleep.

00:47:14Oh, stay. I can sleep on the couch. No, you stay too.

00:47:24It's alright with me.

00:47:28I'm ready.

00:47:58Where do you think you're going?

00:48:04To find Malia.

00:48:07I already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.

00:48:11We're all alone.

00:48:15What about work?

00:48:19Time off for good behavior.

00:48:28Thank you again for taking care of her.

00:48:38It wasn't a problem.

00:48:42Apparently, it is for her mother.

00:48:49Let me make it up to you.

00:48:54How are you going to do that?

00:48:58I don't know if I can take it.

00:49:01Must be a monster in my eyes.

00:49:03Let me show you.

00:49:05Lately it feels like I've been faking.

00:49:08Think there's a stranger here instead.

00:49:11There you have it.

00:49:13Night, night.

00:49:15I lie awake.

00:49:17One of the skaters.

00:49:19Hold tight.

00:49:22The air is changing.

00:49:25Let's run away.

00:49:27You're like the neighbors.

00:49:34You know, I think more people should try coworkers with benefits.

00:49:53So you want to tell me what happened here?

00:50:07Not really.

00:50:12Sorry, I was just curious.

00:50:15Congenital heart defect.

00:50:19You don't want to hear about it.

00:50:20It's too much.

00:50:21Too much?

00:50:23This condition.

00:50:24These bills.

00:50:26This 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

00:50:36and make my life normal.

00:50:39And now they're gone.

00:50:39Car accident when I was a senior in high school.

00:50:45I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.

00:50:50Alex.

00:50:51Sorry.

00:50:51Way too much information.

00:50:54Especially from a fuck buddy.

00:50:55You don't need to know my sob story.

00:50:57You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.

00:51:03I know.

00:51:04She told me.

00:51:06Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.

00:51:07Look, I've never told anybody this, but Malia was more with her defect because Camilla,

00:51:17she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out in modeling

00:51:24gigs.

00:51:25I only found out before it was too late.

00:51:28Oh my God.

00:51:30It's terrible.

00:51:32Truth is, she never really wanted to have a baby.

00:51:36I did.

00:51:37I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.

00:51:42Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.

00:51:47I'm so sorry, Lincoln.

00:51:50The only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.

00:51:55Not for me, and certainly not for her daughter.

00:51:59You know, she's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt, abandoning her daughter

00:52:05like that, it's...

00:52:05Have you thought about pursuing soul custody?

00:52:09I want to, but it's too risky.

00:52:13I mean, the courts usually side with the mother.

00:52:15I can't risk losing my daughter.

00:52:17They don't always.

00:52:21Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.

00:52:25What did she say to you?

00:52:26Camilla 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.

00:52:36I don't know.

00:52:38I don't want to put her through that.

00:52:40I 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, and 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.

00:52:57You have it.

00:52:59Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.

00:53:02You're right.

00:53:04Malia deserves better.

00:53:07I will talk to her this week.

00:53:08I will talk to her this week.

00:53:22Seems like I owe you again.

00:53:26Greedy?

00:53:28I meant breakfast.

00:53:31You can cook?

00:53:33Yes, I can.

00:53:35For the right company.

00:53:43I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.

00:54:00Shit.

00:54:00Fuck.

00:54:00I'm sorry.

00:54:01I didn't mean to.

00:54:03It's okay.

00:54:04Really, it's...

00:54:06Actually, 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.

00:54:16And 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.

00:54:26Okay.

00:54:27Okay.

00:54:28Okay.

00:54:29Okay.

00:54:30Okay.

00:54:31Okay.

00:54:32Okay.

00:54:33Okay.

00:54:34Okay.

00:54:38Okay.

00:54:43anything to anyone your dad is paying me to do this to help Lincoln that's what a job is you work

00:54:57for the company you know that right you don't understand your dad offered to pay off my student

00:55:03loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck it out as Lincoln's assistant he wanted

00:55:08me to keep him away from Camilla by any means necessary he said now that Lincoln and I are

00:55:15fucking like rabbits co-workers with benefits excuse me it just it seems wrong not to tell him

00:55:24why because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it seems like a

00:55:29win-win to me it won't feel like that if he finds out I don't think I'm just using him well maybe

00:55:35he doesn't have to find out geez I can't keep lying to him I think I think I'm falling for him

00:55:43so more than co-workers with benefits

00:55:49thanks for meeting me I wanted to talk to you about your new girlfriend

00:56:03what I know all about your little sleepover you know I'd appreciate it if you told me before

00:56:11bringing another woman into our daughter's life especially that one what do you mean by that one

00:56:16Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in LA it was a work trip oh really

00:56:23she's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been which is

00:56:36actually why I'm here enough is enough I want sole custody this is it you want to break up our family

00:56:48for that lying you don't want a family you just want my money I see right through you Camilla

00:56:53you think I want money how much do you know about your little assistant what do you mean

00:56:59I hate to be the one to tell you this but that girl is using you Lakin

00:57:10I overheard Jason her laughing about it in the break room earlier today

00:57:19what do you mean she's using me the only reason why she's working for you

00:57:26is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me

00:57:30no she wouldn't do that that's not who she is

00:57:35if you don't believe me just ask your dad

00:57:39is it true Lakin what are you doing here did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me

00:57:54it was for your own good do not give me that father knows best routine

00:58:01this is a complete betrayal of my trust your personal issues were affecting not

00:58:06only the business but our family that is absurd this has nothing to do with the

00:58:11company your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question

00:58:15your abilities as a leader as it does the way you close yourself off from any

01:03:18I promise

01:03:19I promise

01:03:20Hey, um...

01:03:50I'd like to apply for a job.

01:03:52I used to work here.

01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.

01:04:05You really need to give me a key.

01:04:09You want a drink?

01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?

01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.

01:04:20I heard you broke up with Alex.

01:04:26Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.

01:04:28We were just fucking, and now we're not.

01:04:32I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.

01:04:36I don't.

01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?

01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.

01:04:43What do you care?

01:04:45She's all yours now.

01:04:46Her little deal with dad is moot,

01:04:48and now you two can finally be together.

01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lincoln, I'm gay.

01:04:56Yeah.

01:04:59You're always so wrapped up in your own shit,

01:05:00you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.

01:05:02I'm sorry.

01:05:10Really.

01:05:13I can't believe I didn't...

01:05:18Are you good?

01:05:23I'm good.

01:05:32Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.

01:05:42But you're always flirting with her, Alex.

01:05:44I was trying to light a fire under your ass.

01:05:47She's a good person, Lincoln.

01:05:50She cares about you.

01:05:51A lot.

01:05:54She hated the deal.

01:05:56She hated lying to you.

01:05:58She knew you wouldn't trust her.

01:05:59And why should I?

01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla.

01:06:11Look, it's not too late to make it right.

01:06:16Call her.

01:06:17Call her.

01:06:29Call her.

01:06:29spécial

01:07:34That's $250,000 a year. Every year.

01:07:38Until Malia's 18th birthday.

01:07:41So, in nine more years then?

01:07:43Eight. You don't even know how old your daughter is?

01:07:46Yes.

01:08:05Pleasure doing business with you.

01:08:07You don't want to say goodbye? She's upstairs waiting.

01:08:15I can't. I have a flight to Miami in an hour. Give her a kiss for me, will you?

01:08:20Good fucking riddance.

01:08:33I'm proud of you, son.

01:08:35It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.

01:08:37I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?

01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.

01:08:48Congrats, bro. Let's celebrate.

01:08:56Come on. We should be celebrating.

01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.

01:09:11Yeah. And now Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.

01:09:19Okay. On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.

01:09:23You're going to be CEO in a month. What else could you want?

01:09:28Maybe a certain little assistant that'll help you get custody.

01:09:32She blocked my number.

01:09:34And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging 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.

01:09:51Well, 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?

01:10:01Is that why you brought me here?

01:10:03Go get her.

01:10:18Hi.

01:10:20Ready to order?

01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.

01:10:30Alex.

01:10:32Lincoln.

01:10:33Uh, what are you doing here?

01:10:36Uh, Jace brought me.

01:10:38To celebrate.

01:10:41I won full custody.

01:10:44Congratulations.

01:10:44Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.

01:10:49Uh...

01:10:50Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.

01:10:54I made a huge mistake.

01:10:56Thanks.

01:10:57I actually need to take my break right now.

01:11:05Alex, hey.

01:11:05You okay?

01:11:11Help!

01:11:12Someone call 911!

01:11:16Help!

01:11:17It's okay.

01:11:18Help! It's okay.

01:11:37Any update?

01:11:39There'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.

01:11:56Jesus.

01:11:57Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress. The stress that I fucking caused her.

01:12:05And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either. I should have just left her alone.

01:12:11It's not your fault, Lakin.

01:12:13And now Alex could... she could...

01:12:16Hey, stop. Don't talk like that.

01:12:35Hey, Lakin.

01:12:41Oh my god, Alex. You're awake. Jesus Christ. I was so worried. I thought...

01:12:49I thought that I might have lost you.

01:12:53Thank you. I'm fine.

01:12:57You should leave.

01:13:00What? What are you talking about?

01:13:03Lakin, why are you here?

01:13:05I'm here because I care about you. Because...

01:13:07Because you feel guilty.

01:13:09This is what you do. You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.

01:13:14No. It's not like that.

01:13:16I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.

01:13:20I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.

01:13:25You are not a burden. I don't think that.

01:13:29I'd like you to go.

01:13:31I don't know.

01:14:01I don't want to feel guilty.

01:14:03Good morning, sleepyhead.

01:14:04It's good to see you awake.

01:14:21You got me worried there for a minute.

01:14:24I got you something.

01:14:30This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.

01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?

01:14:53It was Dad.

01:14:55You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode,

01:14:58so he's been helping out with Malia while Aiken watches over you.

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.

01:15:15I don't deserve it.

01:15:17What are you talking about?

01:15:20Look at me, Jace.

01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred.

01:15:22Why should I...

01:15:23Hey, Alex.

01:15:26You deserve love.

01:15:27It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.

01:15:32I'm sorry.

01:15:33I didn't mean to scare you.

01:15:34Fuck.

01:15:34I'm sorry.

01:15:35I just...

01:15:36I'm sorry.

01:15:37I thought you might need some help.

01:15:52Doctor said no unnecessary stress.

01:15:53Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.

01:16:09Alex, you're recovering from surgery.

01:16:19Let me at least help you inside.

01:16:22Malia asks about you all the time, you know.

01:16:49She 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.

01:17:19What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you, do you

01:17:28really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?

01:17:32They lost everything they had because of me.

01:17:35Yeah, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again,

01:17:38they would do it exactly the same?

01:17:41That's not sacrifice.

01:17:42That's love.

01:17:46I've been thinking about it a lot.

01:17:49About 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.

01:17:57But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me, is that supporting someone is

01:18:07not 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.

01:18:31I can't stop.

01:18:32It's true.

01:18:35And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.

01:18:42Prove it?

01:18:43How?

01:18:52Is that...

01:18:54Scars.

01:18:55Just like yours.

01:18:59Are those tattoos?

01:19:00I wanted it to be permanent.

01:19:06I love you, Alex.

01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.

01:19:16Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?

01:19:21Please.

01:19:25I love you too.

01:19:30What are you doing next week?

01:19:55I want to take you to a party.

01:19:57Another gala?

01:20:02Something like that.

01:20:04And you know the guest of honor very well.

01:20:07Who is it?

01:20:09You'll see.

01:20:10Happy birthday, dear Malia.

01:20:20Happy birthday to you.

01:20:25Happy birthday, dear Malia.

01:20:28Happy birthday to you.

01:20:30Happy birthday.

01:20:32Happy birthday, dear Malia.

01:20:44Happy birthday, happy birthday to you.

01:20:45What did you wish for?

01:20:46A new mommy.

01:20:49One step at a time, sweetheart.

01:20:50I think you'll like it.

01:20:52I have one too.

01:20:56Just like you.

01:21:20No, come with us.

01:21:22Don't hold back.

01:21:24It's nice, oh yeah.

01:21:26The sky is going black.

01:21:29No, come with us.

01:21:32Don't hold back.
