00:08:16oh
00:08:17and stay out of my personal life
00:08:20that'll be all for now
00:08:23i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:26that means you can go
00:08:33that means you can go
00:08:34laken
00:08:42i like lucifer
00:08:44this bark's worse than his bite trust me
00:08:47i'm jace
00:08:48i'm jace
00:08:49lucifer's angelic younger brother
00:08:51you are
00:08:52alex lincoln's new assistant
00:08:55and uh it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling
00:09:00i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:02alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea
00:09:08you're gonna need that
00:09:10coming
00:09:12we'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 and
00:09:27shifting our operations to detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford right now
00:09:33so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:35i need solutions faster not more excuses people
00:09:40we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:45um sorry to interrupt
00:09:50but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow
00:09:59so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:04uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off
00:10:12but cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure
00:10:16it 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 worth a shot
00:10:26i 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
00:10:34not yet
00:10:36uh
00:10:42you heard her
00:10:44let's uh let's move on this right away
00:10:46that'll be all
00:10:47alex has to go
00:10:51absolutely not she stays
00:10:54look dad i understand that i've been through an assistant or two
00:10:58seven this year
00:10:59this girl is overstepping
00:11:01she's jumping on executive leadership calls
00:11:04yes she was right
00:11:05but she is undermining me in front of my team
00:11:07how is that supposed to strengthen my position with the board
00:11:10so you want to fire her for being too good at her job
00:11:13like a good leader isn't threatened by his employees
00:11:17threatened
00:11:18i am not threatened by her
00:11:20but she makes it look like i've lost control
00:11:22well the board already thinks you've lost control
00:11:24this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak
00:11:29you have to keep alex
00:11:33what are you saying
00:11:36you fire her and the board will find another ceo
00:11:40hey

00:34:20Morning
00:34:21Morning
00:34:22I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me
00:34:35It's not your fault Lakin barely gives a shit about his own family you know
00:34:39Me, Dad
00:34:40But I've seen how he is with Malia and
00:34:43He's a soft spot
00:34:45Lakin's got some serious trust issues
00:34:48Like he needs therapy about it
00:34:51Camila really messed him up
00:34:53Look I consider myself a feminist right?
00:34:56That bitch is a gold digger
00:34:58That bitch is a gold digger
00:34:59I mean she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career
00:35:02It took him like three years to come to his senses
00:35:04And when he finally did
00:35:05Oh surprise surprise
00:35:06Guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:08Jesus
00:35:10Maybe it's just best to pretend like this never happened
00:35:14It sounds like he's been through a lot
00:35:16Look

00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant not 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
00:40:40I thought I did something wrong
00:40:45I want you Alex
00:40:47that's the problem
00:40:49what if we separate church and state
00:40:59at work we're professional
00:41:04but outside of work we're
00:41:07unprofessional
00:41:09I think the light is like

00:41:14all of my problems
00:41:16no
00:41:16I can't make it through

00:41:24left and right
00:41:26wondering where my head's gone
00:41:28I'm sleepwalking through
00:41:32all of my problems

00:45:40you can talk to me
00:45:41believe me
00:45:43I understand
00:45:44what do you mean?
00:45:47it's from surgery
00:45:52I was born with a heart defect
00:45:55just like you
00:45:56really?
00:45:57I didn't know anyone was like me
00:46:01who is it?
00:46:03it's me
00:46:08I can
00:46:15hi
00:46:16hi
00:46:18Who is it?
00:46:24It's me.
00:46:32Lincoln.
00:46:34Hi.
00:46:36Hi.
00:46:38Can I see Malia?
00:46:48Daddy.
00:47:08It's okay, sweetie.
00:47:11I'm right here.
00:47:13Go back to sleep.
00:47:15Oh, stay.
00:47:18I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:21No, you stay too.
00:47:26It's all right with me.
00:47:48Where do you think you're going?
00:48:04To find Malia.
00:48:05I 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.
00:48:20Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:38It wasn't a problem.
00:48:39Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:49Let me make it up to you.
00:48:55How are you going to do that?
00:48:56Let me show you.
00:49:04Let me show you.
00:49:04Let me show you.
00:49:05Lately, it feels like I've been faking.
00:49:08Think there's a stranger here and still dead.
00:49:11There you have it.
00:49:13Let my leg awake.
00:49:17One of the sky fears.
00:49:19Oh, no.
00:49:21Time here is changing.
00:49:23You're like the neighbors.
00:49:28Somewhere away from all these nightmares where nobody can find me.
00:49:37Let's run away.
00:49:41Fire away from all the pain.
00:49:43You know, I think more people should try co-workers with benefits.
00:50:00So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:07Not really.
00:50:08Sorry, I, um, I was just curious.
00:50:17Congenital heart defect.
00:50:19You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:20It's too much.
00:50:21Too much?
00:50:23This condition, these bills, this scar.
00:50:27My parents were incredible.
00:50:30They gave up everything for me.
00:50:32They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:39And now they're gone.
00:50:41Car accident.
00:50:42When 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, way too much information.
00:50:54Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:55You don't need to know my sob story.
00:50:56You 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 born with her defect because Camilla, she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out on modeling gigs.
00:51:24I 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.
00:51:48And the 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 like that, it's...
00:52:07Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:10I want to, but it's too risky.
00:52:13The courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:15I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:16They 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?
00:52:27Camilla 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.
00:52:35I 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.
00:52:44I know you want what's best for Malia, and sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:50Maybe 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.
00:53:21It seems like I owe you again.
00:53:26Greedy?
00:53:28I meant breakfast.
00:53:31You can cook?
00:53:32Yes, I can.
00:53:35For the right company.
00:53:45Ta-da!
00:53:46I 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.
00:54:09Thank 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.
00:54:26He told you all of that?
00:54:33What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:35A saint?
00:54:37Hardly.
00:54:39Look.
00:54:40If I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:46Cross my inner hope to die.
00:54:50Your dad is paying me to do this.
00:54:53To help Lakin.
00:54:53That's what a job is.
00:54:57You 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 and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck
00:55:05it out as Lakin's assistant.
00:55:07He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:55:10By any means necessary, he said.
00:55:14Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits.
00:55:17Coworkers with benefits?
00:55:19Excuse me?
00:55:20It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:25Why?
00:55:25Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:28Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:30It won't feel like that if he finds out.
00:55:32I'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:33Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:37Chase, I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:39I think...
00:55:40I 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?
00:56:04I know all about your little sleepover.
00:56:08You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life.
00:56:13Especially that one.
00:56:15What do you mean by that one?
00:56:17Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in L.A.
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.
00:56:43This is it?
00:56:46You want to break up our family for 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?
00:57:02I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:08That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:14I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:21What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:24The only reason why she's working for you...
00:57:27Is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.
00:57:33No, she wouldn't do that.
00:57:34That's not who she is.
00:57:36If you don't believe me...
00:57:38Just ask your dad.
00:57:39Is it true?
00:57:50Lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:52Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:54It was for your own good.
00:57:59Do not give me that father-knows-best routine.
00:58:02This 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.
00:58:09This has nothing to do with the company.
00:58:11Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader.
00:58:17As in does the way you've closed 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.
00:58:40She's fired.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:43Thanks to you.
00:58:44Thanks to you.
00:58:46Thanks to you.
00:58:50What are you doing here?
00:59:10We need to talk.
00:59:13We are?
00:59:14You want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:17Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:21Because you still love her?
00:59:23God, I'm so fucking stupid.
00:59:25Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:29God, Alex, I...
00:59:31I trusted you.
00:59:32I...
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.
00:59:41I...
00:59:41That 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.
00:59:52And 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?
00:59:58Of course not.
00:59:59Lakin, how dare you?
01:00:03Why should I believe you?
01:00:06You know, you're just like her.
01:00:09I am not like Camilla.
01:00:11Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:13You're fired.
01:00:14And this thing between us, that's over too.
01:00:17Let's go.
01:00:47Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:13I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:15You're going to let me in or what?
01:01:24You are out of your mind.
01:01:27Showing up here is insane.
01:01:28Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:30I don't.
01:01:32I've changed.
01:01:33I've heard that before.
01:01:35God, it turns me on when you act like...
01:01:37Alright, 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 days a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.
01:01:51You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:53I can't waste any more time on Lakin.
01:01:59I was so stupid thinking you actually cared about me.
01:02:14What's wrong with me?
01:02:16Nothing.
01:02:18Absolutely nothing.
01:02:26I'm sorry.
01:02:29I just...
01:02:30I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:34Hey.
01:02:42Text me, okay?
01:02:44Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:48We will.
01:02:50I promise.
01:02:51I promise.
01:02:51I promise.
01:02:52Text me, I promise.
01:02:52I don't have to wait.
01:03:13equal to the police.
01:03:15Text me, make sure.
01:03:17Text me.
01:03:17Text me, make sure.
01:03:18Text me, make sure.
01:03:19Text me, make sure.
01:03:20Let's go.
01:03:50Um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:52I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:05You really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12So I can cabinet to the left.
01:04:20I 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,
01:04:48and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:56You're always so wrapped up in your own shit,
01:05:00you 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...
01:05:17Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:37Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:41But 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, 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.
01:06:06Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:17All right.
01:06:30All right.
01:06:40I don't know.
01:07:10Fuck him.
01:07:33So, that's $250,000 a year?
01:07:37Every year?
01:07:38Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:41So, in nine more years then?
01:07:43Eight.
01:07:44You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:07:47Okay.
01:07:47Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:07You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:13She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:15I can't.
01:08:16I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:18Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:19Good fucking riddance.
01:08:33I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:35Only 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.
01:08:41All right?
01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:48Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on.
01:09:07We 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?
01:09:28Maybe a certain little assistant that 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.
01:09:50Well, 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.
01:10:04Hi.
01:10:19Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:29Alex.
01:10:30What are you doing here?
01:10:36Uh, Jace brought me to celebrate.
01:10:41I won full custody.
01:10:44Congratulations.
01:10:45Yeah, I, um...
01:10:46I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:49Uh...
01:10:50Alex, I, um...
01:10:52I want to apologize.
01:10:54I made a huge mistake.
01:10:55Thanks.
01:10:57I...
01:10:57I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:04Oh, here.
01:11:10You okay?
01:11:12You okay?
01:11:14Whoa!
01:11:15Someone call 911!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20Okay.
01:11:21Yeah.
01:11:22Yeah.
01:11:22Yeah.
01:11:22Yeah.
01:11:22Yeah.
01:11:23Yeah.
01:11:23Yeah.
01:11:23Yeah.
01:11:23Yeah.
01:11:23Yeah.
01:11:23Yeah.
01:11:23Yeah.
01:11:24Yeah.
01:11:24Yeah.
01:11:24Yeah.
01:11:24Yeah.
01:11:25Any update?
01:11:44There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but the doctor said that she's in critical
01:11:50condition, that they're going to operate tomorrow.
01:11:52And then her chances are 50-50.
01:11:57Jesus.
01:11:58Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:03The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:07And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't help either.
01:12:10I, I, I should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lincoln.
01:12:15And now Alex could, she could...
01:12:17Hey, stop.
01:12:18Don't talk like that in the store.
01:12:18Stop!
01:12:19Don't talk like that.
01:12:19Oh no.
01:12:21Don't talk like that.
01:12:21Stop.
01:12:23Don't talk like that.
01:12:25Okay.
01:12:30Hey.
01:12:34Hey, Lakin.
01:12:43Oh, my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:46Jesus Christ.
01:12:47I was so worried.
01:12:49I thought...
01:12:49I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:57I'm fine.
01:12:59You should leave.
01:13:02What?
01:13:03What are you talking about?
01:13:04Lakin, why are you here?
01:13:06I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:08Because you feel guilty.
01:13:11This is what you do.
01:13:12You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:15No, it's not like that.
01:13:17I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.
01:13:21I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:26You are not a burden.
01:13:28I don't think that.
01:13:30I'd like you to go.
01:13:32I don't want to any of you.
01:13:44I don't want to be your children.
01:13:45Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:15It's good to see you awake, you had me worried there for a minute, I got you something.
01:14:45This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:48Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:52It was dad.
01:14:55You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Muya while they can watch us over you here.
01:15:01Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:04Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:07He shouldn't have.
01:15:09You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:11Dad was good for it, just done.
01:15:14I don't deserve it.
01:15:16What are you talking about?
01:15:18Look at me, Jace.
01:15:20I'm literally fucking scarred, why should I?
01:15:22Hey, Alex.
01:15:25You deserve love.
01:15:27It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:34Jesus.
01:15:35Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:36Fuck.
01:15:37I'm sorry, I just thought you might need some help.
01:15:52Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:15:53Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:15:54Sorry.
01:15:55Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:15:56Alex, you're recovering from surgery.
01:15:57Let me at least help you inside.
01:15:58I'm sorry.
01:15:59I'm sorry.
01:16:00I'm sorry.
01:16:01I'm sorry.
01:16:02I'm sorry.
01:16:03I'm sorry.
01:16:04I'm sorry.
01:16:05I'm sorry.
01:16:06I'm sorry.
01:16:07I'm sorry.
01:16:08I'm sorry.
01:16:09I'm sorry.
01:16:10I'm sorry.
01:16:11I'm sorry.
01:16:12I'm sorry.
01:16:13I'm sorry.
01:16:14I'm sorry.
01:16:15I'm sorry.
01:16:16I'm sorry.
01:16:17But I've got it from here.
01:16:18Alex, you're recovering from surgery.
01:16:20Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:40Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:50She misses you.
01:16:52Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:03It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:06I can see that now.
01:17:08I've just, I'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.
01:17:23What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you,
01:17:28do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:32They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:35Hey, 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.
01:17:44That's love.
01:17:45I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:48About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:53I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:57But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me,
01:18:02is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:11It is simply because you love them.
01:18:15Miss 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.
01:18:33And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it? How?
01:18:44Is that...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:01I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:06I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:14Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:20Please.
01:19:25I love you, too.
01:19:44What are you doing next week?
01:19:55I want to take you to a party.
01:19:59Another gala?
01:20:01Something like that.
01:20:04And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:07Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:14Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:21Happy birthday to you.
01:20:33What did you wish for?
01:20:35A new mommy.
01:20:37One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:44I got you something.
01:20:46It might not be the biggest present you get, but...
01:20:50I think you'll like it.
01:20:52I have one, too.
01:20:55Just like you.
01:20:57Bye.
01:21:26I know I'm in the sky
01:21:28I know I'm like
