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

00:19:52I thought I said I like red.
00:20:03Did you? Oops. Must have slipped my mind.
00:20:22Looks like we're almost there.
00:20:32Remember, this is a work event.
00:20:35The whole board's going to be there.
00:20:37It's easy on the drinks.
00:20:38Do as I say, not as I do.
00:20:54You ready?
00:20:57It's easy.
00:21:27So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight, and you lied to me.
00:21:45Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:48I 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.
00:22:18Hey.
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.
00:22:38I'll be right back.
00:22:38Look at you.
00:22:46You look stunning.
00:22:49Let's see 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?
00:22:58Hey.
00:23:17For 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.
00:23:27Dane?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29My 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,
00:23:56it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right.
00:24:14So,
00:24:15something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:18Jase?
00:24:21Of course not.
00:24:22That 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.
00:24:31I'm just
00:24:33looking out for my assistant.
00:24:37Well,
00:24:38I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's,
00:24:40you know.
00:24:42He's what?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind.
00:24:49so,
00:24:51you guys aren't that close then.
00:24:53Well,
00:24:53excuse me if I don't have time
00:24:54to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:24:57If you hadn't noticed,
00:24:58I'm somewhat busy running
00:24:59the largest shipping company in America.
00:25:02It's important to make time
00:25:03for family,
00:25:04Lincoln.
00:25:05That's none of your concern.
00:25:07Just focus on
00:25:09steering clear
00:25:09of an office romance,
00:25:11Miss Livingston.
00:25:12It's unprofessional.
00:25:16What?
00:25:17This?
00:25:18This is just
00:25:20two co-workers dancing.
00:25:22Right.
00:25:23A totally normal
00:25:25boss
00:25:25slash assistant
00:25:26slow dance.
00:25:28It's completely innocent.
00:25:30Hmm.
00:25:31We're barely touching.
00:25:37Lincoln.
00:25:40Dad.
00:25:42Well,
00:25:43some of our board members
00:25:44are already here.
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:47Miss Livingston?
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:56Well,
00:25:56Mr. Harris
00:25:57was just saying
00:25:58that he was very impressed
00:25:59with your recent progress.
00:26:01Wonderful to see
00:26:02that you're finally
00:26:03settling in,
00:26:04Lincoln.
00:26:07Miss Livingston
00:26:08has been a
00:26:09welcomed addition.
00:26:11Oh, yes.
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:14Nice work.
00:26:15Yes,
00:26:16and we're also
00:26:16improving transit times.
00:26:18I'll actually be
00:26:19in New York next week.
00:26:30Team there
00:26:31and finalizing everything,
00:26:32making sure
00:26:33everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34Lincoln.
00:26:35What are you doing here?
00:26:37I just thought
00:26:37I'd stop by.
00:26:38I thought you could
00:26:39use the moral support.
00:26:41Where's Malia?
00:26:42I got a babysitter.
00:26:45I think everyone
00:26:45knows Camilla,
00:26:46Malia'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,
00:26:59Alice.
00:27:00As I was saying,
00:27:03the transit times
00:27:03in New York.
00:27:04Oh, come on,
00:27:05Lincoln.
00:27:06Don't be a poor.
00:27:07It's a party.
00:27:09No one wants to talk
00:27:09about business.
00:27:10Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:13Maybe later.
00:27:15These gentlemen
00:27:15are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind
00:27:18if I steal them,
00:27:18do you?
00:27:19What are you doing?
00:27:30Are you drunk?
00:27:30The whole office is here.
00:27:32We never have
00:27:32any time together.
00:27:33And there's a reason
00:27:34for that, Camilla.
00:27:35We're not together anymore.
00:27:37You made that perfectly clear
00:27:38when you fucked
00:27:39my best friend.
00:27:40Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:42I'm sorry
00:27:43if I embarrassed you.
00:27:44I just...
00:27:46I miss you.
00:27:49And I was thinking
00:27:49about how we used
00:27:50to come to these things
00:27:51together.
00:27:53I was hoping
00:27:53you'd dance with me.
00:27:56For all time's sake.
00:28:00One dance.
00:28:14Excuse 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.
00:28:36I could fix that, you know.
00:28:39What do you want, hmm?
00:28:41And don't give me some bullshit
00:28:42about missing me.
00:28:44I know you.
00:28:45You want money, don't you?
00:28:47Have you given any more thought
00:28:49to the conversation
00:28:49we had the other day?
00:28:52Malia's getting older.
00:28:54It's only getting harder
00:28:55to take care of her,
00:28:56especially 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, don'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?
00:29:29Look at me.
00:29:32You 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.
00:29:48Right now.
00:29:55Not having any fun?
00:30:13Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:28It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:30And 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 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?
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:50Time to go.
00:30:59It's okay.
00:31:07Arturo.
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.
00:31:22First 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?
00:31:35Charming 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.
00:32:05Fuckin' buttons.
00:32:06I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:16Yeah, well, there's a lot you 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.
00:32:36Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:33:06I can't let this go to waste.
00:33:08I don't want nobody else.
00:33:13Don't let this go to waste.
00:33:15You are...
00:33:45Want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no.
00:33:52Right. No.
00:33:55Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:15Good morning.
00:34:21Good morning.
00:34:31I 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.
00:34:46Lincoln's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:49Like, he needs therapy about it.
00:34:52Camilla really messed him up.
00:34:54Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:57That bitch is a gold digger.
00:35:00I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.
00:35:03It took him, like, three years to come to his senses,
00:35:05and when he finally did,
00:35:05ooh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus.
00:35:12Maybe it's just best to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:22Look.
00:35:22I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:25How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details.
00:35:30Yeah.
00:35:31I'm down.
00:35:32Great.
00:35:33Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:55Dad insisted.
00:35:57Something 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...
00:36:06Family members.
00:36:07Exactly.
00:36:12Did 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.
00:36:24No, my Malia, last time I saw her,
00:36:25she was just about my knee high.
00:36:27Hey, has anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm.
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:33Hee hee hee.
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:49Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it!
00:36:58Uh...
00:36:59Uh...
00:37:00Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:23Me neither.
00:37:36It'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.
00:37:46Look 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,
00:38:18I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:20Alex,
00:38:22I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:24Really?
00:38:25It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:32You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.
00:38:37Thank you, Jace.
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.
00:38:56Works for me.
00:38:57I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:14Come on.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:17Come on.
00:39:17Come on.
00:39:27She likes you, you know?
00:39:54She'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?
00:40:15Your job is not in danger.
00:40:20Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:24What 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.
00:40:35But I also can't accept the fact that...
00:40:39Saturday 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 sleepwalking through all of my problems.
00:41:16I know I can't make it through.
00:41:20Every night is the same.
00:41:22I keep running fast, left and right.
00:41:26Wondering where my head's gone now.
00:41:29I'm sleepwalking through all of my problems.
00:41:34Malia, hurry, come on.
00:41:39Go, come on.
00:41:41Let'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.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:53But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:57Going to LA.
00:41:59Business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:01Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be child care.
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.
00:42:31Alex, 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.
00:42:55Listen, uh...
00:42:57Mommy 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.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Okay, so we'll get you fed.
00:43:30I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets back, is that too much rice?
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:45Has your mom done this before?
00:43:47Sort 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!
00:44:15Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:36Malia.
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:41I didn't mean to.
00:44:43I didn't mean to.
00:44:45But I can't.
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:05How will we order some pizza?
00:45:06oh
00:45:29Malia
00:45:32Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:36You can talk to me
00:45:41Believe me, I 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
00:45:56Really?
00:45:59I didn't know anyone was like me
00:46:06Who is it?
00:46:10It's me
00:46:11Who is it?
00:46:12It's me
00:46:13Who is it?
00:46:14It's me
00:46:15Who is it?
00:46:16It's me
00:46:17Who is it?
00:46:18It's me
00:46:20Who is it?
00:46:21Who is it?
00:46:22Who is it?
00:46:23It's me
00:46:24It's me
00:46:32Lincoln
00:46:34Hi
00:46:36Hi
00:46:38Can I see Malia?
00:46:54Daddy
00:46:55Shh
00:46:56It's okay, sweetie
00:46:57I'm right here
00:46:58Go back to sleep
00:46:59Oh, stay
00:47:00I can sleep on the couch
00:47:02No, you stay too
00:47:05It's alright with me
00:47:07I can sleep on the couch
00:47:08No, you stay too
00:47:11It's alright with me
00:47:12It's alright with me
00:47:26It's alright with me
00:47:42Where 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
00:48:10We're all alone
00:48:15What about work?
00:48:19Time off for good behavior
00:48:31Thank you again for taking care of her
00:48:38Wasn't a problem
00:48:41Apparently
00:48:43It is for her mother
00:48:49Let me make it up to you
00:48:54How are you going to do that?
00:49:03Let me show you
00:49:04What?
00:49:05What?
00:49:06Lately feels like I've been faking
00:49:07Think there's a stranger here instead
00:49:10There you have it
00:49:11There you have it
00:49:13Night
00:49:14Night
00:49:15I lie awake
00:49:16I'm gonna escape this
00:49:19Hold tight
00:49:21The air is changing
00:49:23Let's run away
00:49:27You're like the neighbors
00:49:28Somewhere away from all these nightmares
00:49:33Where nobody can find me
00:49:36Let's run away
00:49:38Let's run away
00:49:39Let's run away from all the pain
00:49:42You 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
00:50:08Sorry, I um
00:50:14I was just curious
00:50:17Congenital heart defect
00:50:18You don't want to hear about it
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
00:50:25This scar
00:50:27My parents were
00:50:29Incredible
00:50:30They gave up everything
00:50:31For me
00:50:32They drained their savings
00:50:33In what little life of wealth
00:50:34They built for themselves
00:50:35To try
00:50:36And make my life normal
00:50:38And now they're gone
00:50:41Car accident
00:50:42When I was a senior
00:50:43In high school
00:50:45I begged them to have a night to themselves
00:50:47For once and then
00:50:50Alex
00:50:51Sorry, way 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
00:51:10Look, I've never told anybody this, but
00:51:14Malia was born with her defect because Camilla
00:51:19She took diet pills during the pregnancy
00:51:21So she wouldn't gain weight
00:51:22Or lose out in modeling gigs
00:51:24I only found out before it was too late
00:51:28Oh my god
00:51:30It's terrible
00:51:32Truth is
00:51:34She never really wanted to have a baby
00:51:36I did
00:51:38I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family
00:51:41Turns 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
00:51:52Is for the money
00:51:55Not for me
00:51:56And certainly not for her daughter
00:51:58You know, she's always been irresponsible
00:52:01But this latest stunt
00:52:03Abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:05It's...
00:52:07Have you thought about pursuing soul custody?
00:52:09I want to, but
00:52:11It's too risky
00:52:13The courts usually side with the mother
00:52:14I can't risk losing my daughter
00:52:17They don't always
00:52:18Always
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?
00:52:27Camilla 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
00:52:34I 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
00:52:42I...
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
00:52:52Maybe 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
00:53:06I will talk to her this week
00:53:17Thank you
00:53:22Seems like I owe you again
00:53:26Greedy?
00:53:28I meant breakfast
00:53:30You can cook?
00:53:33Yes, I can
00:53:35For the right company
00:53:45Ta-da!
00:53:54I should've known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth
00:53:59Shit, fuck, I'm sorry
00:54:01I didn't mean to
00:54:02Me too
00:54:04It's okay
00:54:06Really, it's...
00:54:07Actually kinda 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
00:54:18Wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:24Right...
00:54:25Not exactly
00:54:26He told you all of that?
00:54:27What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:28A saint?
00:54:29Hardly
00:54:31Look, if I tell you something you promise not to say anything to anyone
00:54:45Cross my inner hope to die
00:54:47Your dad is paying me to do this
00:54:53To help Lakin
00:54:55That's what a job is
00:54:56You work for the company
00:54:58You know that, right?
00:54:59You don't understand
00:55:01Your dad offered to pay off my student loans
00:55:03And cover my medical bills for life
00:55:05If I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant
00:55:07He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla
00:55:10By any means necessary
00:55:11He said
00:55:13Now that Lakin and I are
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits
00:55:17Coworkers with benefits?
00:55:19Excuse me?
00:55:21It just...
00:55:22It seems wrong not to tell him
00:55:24Why?
00:55:25Cause you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:28Seems like a win-win to me
00:55:30It won't feel like that if he finds out
00:55:31He'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
00:55:39I think...
00:55:41I think I'm falling for him
00:55:47So more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:58Thanks for meeting me
00:56:00I wanted to talk to you about
00:56:02Your new girlfriend?
00:56:04What?
00:56:06I know all about your little sleepover
00:56:08You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me
00:56:10Before bringing another woman into our daughter's life
00:56:13Especially that one
00:56:15What do you mean by that one?
00:56:17Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in LA
00:56:21It was a work trip
00:56:22Oh really?
00:56:23She'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
00:56:44This is it?
00:56:46You wanna break up our family?
00:56:48For that lying little...
00:56:49You don't want a family
00:56:50You just want my money
00:56:51I see right through you, Camilla
00:56:53You think I want money?
00:56:56How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:58What do you mean?
00:57:00I hate to be the one to tell you this
00:57:06But...
00:57:08That girl is using you, Lakin
00:57:15I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today
00:57:19What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:23The only reason why she's working for you
00:57:26Is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills
00:57:29If she kept you away from me
00:57:31No, she wouldn't do that, that's not who she is
00:57:35If you don't believe me
00:57:37Just ask your dad
00:57:38Just 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?
00:57:58It was for your own good
00:57:59Do not give me that Father Knows Best routine
00:58:02This 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!
00:58:10This has nothing to do with the company
00:58:12Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader
00:58:17As it does the way you close yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:21So what, I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?
00:58:24That is bullshit!
00:58:25My love life is none of your business
00:58:28But the well-being of my granddaughter still is
00:58:32Alex is a smart girl with a good heart
00:58:35She cares about Malia
00:58:37And she challenges you
00:58:39She's fired
00:58:41Thanks to you
00:58:55What are you doing here?
00:59:10We need to talk
00:59:12Oh yeah?
00:59:14You wanna explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:18Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:21Because you still love her?
00:59:23God, I'm so fucking stupid
00:59:24Were you ever gonna tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:29God, Alex
00:59:31I trusted you
00:59:33I told you things that I've never even told my family
00:59:36And this whole time
00:59:38You were just in it for the money
00:59:40I...
00:59:42That was before anything happened between us
00:59:45Lakin, I couldn't say no
00:59:47That kind of money
00:59:49You 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?
00:59:55That'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?
01:00:05You know, you're just like her
01:00:08I am not like Camilla
01:00:10Lakin, I care about you
01:00:12You're fired
01:00:14And this thing between us
01:00:16That's over too
01:00:17Let's go
01:00:19Let's go
01:00:20Let's go.
01:00:50Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:13I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:15You're going to let me in or what?
01:01:20All right, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:40Have you left your house yet?
01:01:42Well, I'm going to try and get my old job back, so I'll probably be out of the house five
01:01:46days a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.
01:01:52You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:54I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:01:58I was so stupid thinking you actually cared about me.
01:02:15What's wrong with me?
01:02:17Nothing.
01:02:19Absolutely nothing.
01:02:22I'm sorry.
01:02:29I just...
01:02:33I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:40Hey.
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.
01:02:50I promise.
01:02:51I...
01:02:52I promise.
01:02:53I don't know.
01:02:57I promise.
01:03:01I promise.
01:03:06I'll be right back.
01:03:08I'll be right back.
01:03:10I promise.
01:03:13I don't know.
01:03:43Hey, um, 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.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:11Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:13I heard 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.
01:04:32I'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 mute, and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ.
01:04:51Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:56You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:07I'm sorry.
01:05:10Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:14Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:24I'm good.
01:05:24Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:42But you're always flirting with her at...
01:05:44I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:45She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:49She cares about you.
01:05:51A lot.
01:05:54She hated the deal.
01:05:55She hated lying to you.
01:05:58She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:02And why should I?
01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:10Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:12I don't know.
01:06:15Call her.
01:06:45Colin.
01:06:46I don't know.
01:06:46I don't know.
01:07:02I don't see.
01:07:11Bye.
01:07:13Bye.
01:07:14Bye.
01:07:15Bye.
01:07:15Bye.
01:07:15Bye.
01:07:15Bye.
01:07:15Fuck him.
01:07:32So, that's $250,000 a year?
01:07:36Every year?
01:07:38Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:40So, in nine more years then?
01:07:43Eight.
01:07:43Eight. You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:05Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:12You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:13She'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.
01:08:56Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11And now Malia has to live the rest of her life, knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:20On 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?
01:09:26Maybe a certain little assistant that helped 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.
01:09:45She 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?
01:10:01Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:15Hi.
01:10:19Ready to order?
01:10:20I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:29Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:34What are you doing here?
01:10:37Jace brought me.
01:10:38To celebrate.
01:10:41I want 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.
01:11:04Alex, hey.
01:11:10You okay?
01:11:12You okay?
01:11:13You okay?
01:11:14Help!
01:11:16Someone call 911!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20It's okay.
01:11:20Yeah.
01:11:20You okay?
01:11:21Yeah!
01:11:22Yeah!
01:11:26Year, you okay?
01:11:27Hey, sure.
01:11:28I'm not friends.
01:11:29Yeah, I'm not friends.
01:11:30Hey, you okay?
01:11:30Yeah.
01:11:30Yeah, I understand.
01:11:31Hey, I know.
01:11:32You okay?
01:11:32Yeah, you okay?
01:11:33Okay?
01:11:33Okay!
01:11:34I'm not, I just...
01:11:35I'm not, I'm not.
01:11:35I'm not.
01:11:36Hi.
01:11:36I'm not...
01:11:37I'm not.
01:11:37Any update?
01:11:44There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but
01:11:47The doctor said that she's in critical condition. They're gonna operate tomorrow
01:11:53And then her chances are 50 50 Jesus
01:11:58Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress
01:12:03The stress that I fucking cost her
01:12:07And seeing me at the restaurant that couldn't help either. I should have just left her alone. It's not your fault they can
01:12:15And now Alex could she could hey stop don't talk like that
01:12:37They can oh
01:12:43My god Alex you're awake Jesus Christ. I was so worried. I thought I
01:12:52Thought that I might have lost you
01:12:55Thank you, I'm fine
01:12:57You should leave
01:13:01What what are you talking about I can why are you here?
01:13:06I'm here because I care about you because because you feel guilty
01:13:11This is what you do you throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better. No, it's not like that. I don't want to be your charity case Lincoln. I
01:13:21Don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again
01:13:24You are not a burden. I don't think that I'd like you to go
01:13:31I know
01:14:01My face is lighter
01:14:02, I don't think so
01:14:12Good Morning sleepy head
01:14:21Its good to see you awake
01:14:23You got me worried there for minute
01:14:24for a minute. I got you something. This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:49Where did all the flowers come from? It was dad. You felt horrible he wasn't here after
01:14:57your episode, so he's been helping out with Mulya while Aiken watches over you here. Dad
01:15:01paid for everything your insurance didn't cover. Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name
01:15:07it. He shouldn't have. You made a deal, Alex. Dad was good for it. It's done. I don't deserve
01:15:16it. What are you talking about? Look at me, Jace. I'm literally fucking scarred. Why
01:15:22should I? Hey, Alex. You deserve love. It's about time you get out of your own way and realize
01:15:31that.
01:15:38Jesus. Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. Fuck. I'm sorry. I just... I thought you might
01:16:03need some help. Doctor said no unnecessary stress. Well, then you shouldn't have shown
01:16:10up. Sorry. Thank you, but I've got it from here. Alex, you're recovering from surgery.
01:16:19Let me at least help you inside. Malia asks about you all the time, you know. I'm sorry.
01:16:26Malia asks about you all the time, you know. She misses you. Everyone misses you. My dad,
01:16:33Jace, and me. My dad, Jace, and me. She misses you. Everyone misses you. My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:00It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money. I can see that now. I've just... I've spent
01:17:07my whole life thinking that I had to buy love. And I've just been hurt so many times. It's
01:17:14hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check. What
01:17:21you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you, do you really
01:17:27think that what they did for you makes you a burden? They lost everything they had because
01:17:33of me. Hey, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over
01:17:37again, they would do it exactly the same? That's not sacrifice. That's love. I've been thinking
01:17:46about it a lot. About what it means to give without expecting anything in return. I can't
01:17:53change the fact that I've been given more than most. But what you've taught me, what your
01:17:58parents have taught me, is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome. It is
01:18:11simply because you love them. Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful
01:18:26woman that I have ever met in my entire life. I can't stop. It's true. And since you clearly don't
01:18:36believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you. Prove it? How? Is that it? Scars. Just
01:18:55like yours. For those tattoos? I wanted it to be permanent. I love you, Alex. I love every single
01:19:09perfect inch of you. Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot? Please.
01:19:22I love you too.
01:19:25I love you too.
01:19:52What are you doing next week? I want to take you to a party. Another gala? Something
01:19:59like that. And you know the guest of honor very well. Who is it? You'll see.
01:20:13Happy birthday, dear Malia. Happy birthday to you.
01:20:26What did you wish for? A new mommy. One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:41Happy birthday to you. I got you something. It might not be the biggest present you get,
01:20:48but I think you'll like it. I have one too. Just like you.
01:20:56You'll be息. I got you. I iED
01:21:03with me. I see a live
01:21:07velociraptor on three
01:21:16Yeah, the sky's going black, so come with us, don't hold back tonight
01:21:25Yeah, the sky's going black, so come with us, don't hold back
