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 Ă 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.
00:12:50Huh.
00:12:55Alex, hang on.
00:12:59Alex!
00:13:05Alex, wait!
00:13:06Alex!
00:13:07I told you to wait.
00:13:14I'm not going to stay here and subject myself to this bullshit any longer.
00:13:18I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:13:21I'll double your salary.
00:13:23I'll give you a four-day work week, whatever you want.
00:13:28Look, you can't leave, okay?
00:13:31I need you to stay.
00:13:34How about starting with an apology?
00:13:37I'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.
00:13:53I just, uh...
00:14:04Alex, hang on.
00:14:07Alex, hey, Alex, hey, Alex, wait one 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...
00:14:25Fine.
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?
00:14:42Okay?
00:14:42You won't regret it.
00:14:48Want a bag?
00:14:49Sorry I'm late.
00:15:17Traffic was hell.
00:15:20A 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.
00:15:45So, 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.
00:16:00It'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.
00:16:21We could try a little harder.
00:16:23Hey.
00:16:32I just wanted to give you a status report before I head home.
00:16:35Thank you, Ms. 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
00:16:46We could tell that it's alright
00:16:50It's alright
00:16:51It's alright
00:16:53It's alright
00:16:53Lakin, are you listening to me?
00:16:57Sorry, as I was saying, 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.
00:17:14I gotta go.
00:17:14No soy sauce in this whole building?
00:17:29They're still here.
00:17:30That's surprising.
00:17:33You and my brother getting along better?
00:17:35Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:39So, that little argument you guys had the other day, what was that?
00:17:42A lover's quarrel?
00:17:44Look who's blushing.
00:17:47I am not blushing and that wasn't a lover's quarrel. He 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.
00:17:59Lakin.
00:18:01So we were just talking about you.
00:18:03Lovely assistant you've got here.
00:18:05Such a sweetheart.
00:18:07Anywho, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later, Alex.
00:18:10You needed me for something?
00:18:11The company's hosting a charity fundraiser tomorrow night and I need you to go with me.
00:18:21You 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, take my card and buy yourself a dress this afternoon.
00:18:35Try to keep it under $10,000, all right?
00:18:38No problem. I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.
00:18:41Got it. Under $10,000.
00:18:48Oh.
00:18:50And seeing as I'm buying,
00:18:52I like red.
00:18:54Yes.
00:18:54Yes.
00:18:55No.
00:18:56Stop me.
00:18:57Jesus.
00:18:58No.
00:18:59Do you need Justin?
00:19:00Yes.
00:19:00It does not.
00:19:01Yes, it does not.
00:19:02I bare call you.
00:19:05Okay.
00:19:05No.
00:19:07Yes.
00:19:07Sorry.
00:19:08No.
00:19:08No.
00:19:11No.
00:19:12No.
00:19:13No.
00:19:14No.
00:19:16No.
00:19:18I don't want to see you
00:19:33I don't want to see you
00:19:48I thought I said I like red
00:20:02Did you?
00:20:05Oops, must have slipped my mind
00:20:18Looks like we're almost there
00:20:23Remember, this is a work event
00:20:34The whole board is going to be there
00:20:36It's easy on the drinks
00:20:38Do as I say
00:20:48Not as I do
00:20:49You ready?
00:21:18Come here
00:21:19So, Miss Livingston
00:21:37I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight
00:21:41And you lied to me
00:21:43Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:48I thought only HR saw that
00:21:53Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar
00:21:57I think that's a very sweet name
00:21:59I'm not embarrassed, it's just private
00:22:03My parents were the only ones who called me that
00:22:08I see
00:22:11I apologize
00:22:15I didn't know
00:22:16I didn't mean to upset you
00:22:19Hey
00:22:21Alex
00:22:23I mean
00:22:26I'm sorry
00:22:28I think I owe you a drink
00:22:36I'll be right back
00:22:38Look at you
00:22:46You look stunning
00:22:47Let's see the dress
00:22:50Let's get turned even me straight
00:22:54Picked it out just for you
00:22:56It's perfect
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:58For you
00:23:18Hey, bro
00:23:20Is that for me?
00:23:21Get your own drink, bro
00:23:22And maybe your own date while you're at it
00:23:24Dane?
00:23:28I knew it
00:23:28Uh, my guest
00:23:30You know what I mean
00:23:31Yeah, sure, I know what you mean
00:23:32I'll take that, I'll leave you guys to it
00:23:34It's just a dance
00:23:48Do not be weird about this
00:23:49Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:51Everyone else is dancing
00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't
00:23:54And besides
00:23:56It's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right
00:24:02So
00:24:15Something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:20Chase?
00:24:21Of course not, that was nothing
00:24:22It didn't look like nothing
00:24:24If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous
00:24:28Don't be ridiculous
00:24:31I'm just looking out for my assistant
00:24:35Well, I doubt he's interested
00:24:39He's
00:24:39You know
00:24:40He's what?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind
00:24:49So, you guys aren't that close then?
00:24:52Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits
00:24:56If 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
00:25:07Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston
00:25:12It's unprofessional
00:25:13What, 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
00:25:29We're rarely touching
00:25:32Lincoln
00:25:38Dad
00:25:41Well, some of our board members are already here
00:25:44I need you to make your rounds
00:25:46Miss Livingston?
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:56Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress
00:26:00Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln
00:26:04Thank you
00:26:07Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition
00:26:10Oh, yes
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland
00:26:13Nice work
00:26:15Yes, and we're also improving transit times
00:26:18I'll actually be in New York next week
00:26:30Team there and finalizing everything
00:26:32Making sure everything's running smoothly
00:26:34I like it
00:26:34What are you doing here?
00:26:37I just thought I'd stop by
00:26:38I thought you could use the moral support
00:26:40Where's Malia?
00:26:42I got a babysitter
00:26:43I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother
00:26:47Who's this?
00:26:53Uh, no one
00:26:53Just, uh, my assistant
00:26:55Alex
00:26:57Nice to meet you, Alice
00:27:00As I was saying
00:27:02The transit time's in New York
00:27:04Oh, come on, Lincoln
00:27:05Don't be a poor
00:27:07It's a party
00:27:08No 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
00:27:16You 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
00:27:31We 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
00:27:38When you fucked my best friend
00:27:39Oh, come on, Lincoln
00:27:41I'm sorry if I embarrassed you
00:27:44I just
00:27:45I miss you
00:27:48And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together
00:27:51I was hoping you'd dance with me
00:27:55For all time's sake
00:27:57One dance
00:28:01Excuse me, gentlemen
00:28:18Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this
00:28:25This is a work event, Camilla
00:28:32Facts, Lincoln
00:28:34So tense
00:28:35I could fix that, you know
00:28:38What 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
00:28:53It's only getting harder to take care of her
00:28:56Especially with her situation
00:28:57We should be a family
00:29:00We tried
00:29:02And failed miserably
00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla
00:29:10Don't
00:29:10Kiss me
00:29:12If you don't feel anything
00:29:14I'll leave you alone
00:29:15Stop
00:29:20Jesus
00:29:21Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that
00:29:26Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me
00:29:31You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:35Because you know I will
00:29:36Let me make something very clear to you
00:29:40We are never getting back together, Camilla
00:29:43You hear me?
00:29:44Never
00:29:45Now, you need to go
00:29:46But
00:29:48Right now
00:29:48Not having any fun
00:30:13Let's see if we can change that
00:30:21This is my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:31And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table
00:30:34And 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
00:30:44Oh my god
00:30:46Stop
00:30:46Something funny?
00:30:54Time to go
00:30:54It's okay
00:30:59Arturo
00:31:08Take Miss Livingston home
00:31:10You're being incredibly rude, you know that?
00:31:12You're getting wasted at a company party
00:31:14It's totally inappropriate
00:31:16Don'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
00:31:23She's my ex
00:31:24And second of all
00:31:25I can do whatever I want
00:31:27I'm a CEO
00:31:28Interrupt
00:31:29Right
00:31:30Is 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
00:31:39Chairman the next
00:31:40Meanwhile you're wasted
00:31:41Hanging all over Jace
00:31:42What do you care anyway?
00:31:44I thought you weren't attracted to me
00:31:45I'm not
00:31:47Oh yeah?
00:31:49Yeah
00:31:50Liar
00:31:51I didn't expect you to have tattoos
00:32:15Yeah, well there's a lot you don't know about me
00:32:18That cost eight thousand dollars
00:32:28Yeah, my fucking money
00:32:30Now get the hell over here
00:32:33Is that a scar?
00:32:40It's hard
00:32:43It's hard
00:32:43Fuck me
00:32:47I don't even care
00:32:48Do you care?
00:32:49Leave us at some more for way
00:32:50Tonight
00:32:51That we both want
00:32:52I wanna go away
00:32:54I wanna be with you
00:32:56I wanna be with you
00:32:57We can't let this slip away
00:32:59You know
00:32:59I wanna give this things
00:33:01Because I wanna be with you
00:33:03I wanna be with you
00:33:05I'm on no way
00:33:06We can't let this go to waste
00:33:08I don't wanna put it all across
00:33:12Don't let this go to waste
00:33:15Ah
00:33:15Ah
00:33:19Ah
00:33:31You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:48Uh, no.
00:33:52Right. No.
00:33:55Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess...
00:34:01I'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...
00:34:44He'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.
00:34:54Look, 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.
00:35:03Took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did,
00:35:05Oh, 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. I'm down.
00:35:32Great.
00:35:52Can'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.
00:36:01I wanted to have the gala postmortem at the office.
00:36:03You 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?
00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me!
00:36:21You!
00:36:21Ah, 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.
00:36:33Hehehe.
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:50Okay.
00:36:51Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it!
00:36:58Uh...
00:36:59Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:23Me neither.
00:37:25It's okay.
00:37:34I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:42He's right.
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?
00:37:50Hehehe.
00:37:53Hm.
00:37:59That was delicious.
00:38:00All right.
00:38:01Miss Livingston.
00:38:05Miss Livingston.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:14Uh, 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?
00:38:24It'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.
00:38:56Works for me.
00:38:57I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:14Get you, man.
00:39:16Come 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, or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:13Your job is not in danger.
00:40:20Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:25What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I...
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...
00:40:42I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:45I want you, Alex.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:56What if we separate church and state?
00:41:01At work, we're professional.
00:41:05But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:09I think the light is like...
00:41:11I'm asleep walking through
00:41:14All of my problems, I know
00:41:16I can't make it through
00:41:20Every night is the same
00:41:22I keep running fast
00:41:24Left and right
00:41:26Wondering where my head's gone now
00:41:29I'm asleep walking through
00:41:32All of my problems, I know
00:41:35William, hurry.
00:41:38Oh, come on
00:41:40Let's go, Malia, come on
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster!
00:41:46Hey, uh...
00:41:48Lakin's not here right now
00:41:50He just landed in New York
00:41:51New York
00:41:51I know
00:41:52But it turns out
00:41:54I can't take Malia at all this week
00:41:56Going to LA
00:41:58Business trip
00:41:59So, she's all yours
00:42:01Oh, uh...
00:42:03I'm not really here to be child care
00:42:05I'm sure you'll figure something out
00:42:07Mommy loves you, Malia
00:42:11I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey
00:42:23It's okay, Malia
00:42:25Alex
00:42:38What's going on?
00:42:39Hey, we have a problem
00:42:40Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left
00:42:43She said she can't take care of this week after all
00:42:45What?
00:42:46Let me talk to her
00:42:47Hi, honey
00:42:53Are you okay?
00:42:54Hi
00:42:54Listen, uh...
00:42:57Mommy had to go away for a little bit
00:42:58But, uh...
00:42:59I'm going to be back tonight
00:43:00And in the meantime
00:43:00Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:02Everything is fine
00:43:03I love you
00:43:04I love you, too
00:43:05I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this
00:43:12So much for that family time she went
00:43:14I will book the first flight out this evening
00:43:17Okay
00:43:18Okay
00:43:19Okay
00:43:19Bye
00:43:20Okay, so we'll get you fed
00:43:29I can help you with your homework
00:43:31And by the time your dad gets back
00:43:33Is that too much rice?
00:43:37I'm sorry
00:43:38You have nothing to be sorry about
00:43:41Has your mom done this before?
00:43:49Sort of
00:43:51Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days so she can go on work trips
00:43:58Work trips, huh?
00:44:02Does your dad know about this?
00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him
00:44:07She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves
00:44:12Shit, I mean, shoot
00:44:16Oh my god, Malia
00:44:35Malia
00:44:37I'm sorry
00:44:41I didn't mean to
00:44:43Better?
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good
00:45:00How will we order some pizza?
00:45:06Malia?
00:45:30Malia?
00:45:30Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:34You 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?
00:45:57Really?
00:45:59I didn't know anyone was like me
00:46:02Who is it?
00:46:23It's me
00:46:24I can
00:46:33Hi
00:46:34Hi
00:46:37Can I see Malia?
00:46:40Daddy
00:46:50Shh
00:46:51Daddy, shh.
00:47:10It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here. Go back to sleep.
00:47:15Oh, stay.
00:47:18I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:20No. You stay, too.
00:47:25It's all right with me.
00:47:50Where 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.
00:48:14What about work?
00:48:19Time off for good behavior.
00:48:21Thank 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?
00:48:56I don't know if I can take it.
00:49:01Must be a monster in my life.
00:49:03Let me show you.
00:49:04You're like the neighbors.
00:49:28You know, I think more people should try coworkers with benefits.
00:49:54So 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?
00:50:22This condition, these bills, this scar.
00:50:27My parents were incredible.
00:50:30They gave up everything for me.
00:50:32They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:39And now they're gone.
00:50:41Car accident.
00:50:42I was a senior in high school.
00:50:45I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:50Alex.
00:50:50Sorry, way too much information.
00:50:54Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:55You don't need to know my sob story.
00:51:01You 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, she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out in modeling gigs.
00:51:24Because I 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.
00:51:44I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:50And the only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.
00:51:55Not for me, and certainly not for her daughter.
00:51:58You 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.
00:52:17They 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.
00:52:48And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:52Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:54And 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.
00:53:22Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:27Greedy?
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!
00:53:46I 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.
00:54:24Great.
00:54:26Not exactly.
00:54:26Okay.
00:54:32He told you all of that?
00:54:33What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:35A saint?
00:54:37Hardly.
00:54:39Look.
00:54:41If 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 Lincoln.
00:54:56That'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
00:55:05if I stuck it out as Lincoln's assistant.
00:55:08He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:55:10By any means necessary, he said.
00:55:14Now that Lincoln and I are...
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits?
00:55:17Co-workers with benefits?
00:55:19Excuse me?
00:55:21It just...
00:55:22It 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.
00:55:29It won't feel like that if he finds out.
00:55:32He'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:34Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:37Chase, 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.
00:55:49Thanks for meeting me.
00:56:00I wanted to talk to you about...
00:56:02Your new girlfriend?
00:56:04What?
00:56:05I know all about your little sleepover.
00:56:08You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's
00:56:12life.
00:56:13Especially that one.
00:56:15What do you mean by that one?
00:56:16Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in L.A.
00:56:21It was a work trip.
00:56:22Oh, really?
00:56:32She'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?
00:56:44You 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.
00:56:52I 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?
00:57:03I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:06But that girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:15I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:21What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:23The 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.
00:57:30No, 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?
00:57:58It 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.
00:58:09This 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 it does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:21So what?
00:58:21I 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.
00:58:27But 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.
00:58:57What 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 trusted you.
00:59:33I told you things that I've never even told my family.
00:59:37And this whole time, you 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?
00:59:56That's all I am to you.
00:59:57Just a transaction?
00:59:58Of course not.
01:00:01How dare you?
01:00:03Why should I believe you?
01:00:06You know, you're just like her.
01:00:09I am not like Camilla.
01:00:11Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:13You're fired.
01:00:14And this thing between us?
01:00:16That's over too.
01:00:32Let's go.
01:01:02Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:13I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:17You'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,
01:01:44so 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.
01:01:56I can't waste any more time on Lakin.
01:01:59I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:02What's wrong with me?
01:02:17Nothing.
01:02:19Absolutely nothing.
01:02:22I'm sorry.
01:02:27I just, I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:40Hey, text me, okay? Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:48I will. I promise.
01:02:57I will. I promise.
01:03:07I promise.
01:03:18Okay.
01:03:21I don't know.
01:03:51Did you apply for a job?
01:03:52I used to work here.
01:03:53Hey kid, come on man, open up.
01:03:58You really need to give me a key.
01:04:08You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:18Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:25Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:28We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:31I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:36I don't.
01:04:37Is 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, Lincoln, I'm gay.
01:04:55Yeah.
01:04:56You're always so wrapped up in your own shit you never thought to ask your brother about
01:05:01his own life.
01:05:02I'm sorry.
01:05:08Really.
01:05:10I can't believe I didn't.
01:05:14Are you good?
01:05:19I'm good.
01:05:24Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:42But you're always flirting with her.
01:05:43I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:47She's a good person, Lincoln.
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.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:46She's a good woman, you're so not too late.
01:06:48She's not too late to make it right.
01:06:49You're so tired.
01:06:50Stop watching her.
01:06:51I'm so tired.
01:06:52Just in turn.
01:06:54Bye.
01:06:56She's a beautiful lady.
01:06:58Call her.
01:06:59Call my friend, ma'am.
01:07:01Call me.
01:07:02Call me.
01:07:03Call me.
01:07:05Call me.
01:07:07Call me.
01:07:08Call me.
01:07:11Call me.
01:07:12Call me.
01:07:13Call me.
01:07:14Call me.
01:07:15Fuck him.
01:07:33So, that's $250,000 a year.
01:07:37Every 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.
01:08:50Congrats, 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?
01:11:12Hey.
01:11:14Someone call 911.
01:11:18Help.
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20It's okay.
01:11:38Any update?
01:11:38There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but the doctor said that she's in critical
01:11:50condition, 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.
01:12:03The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:07And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either.
01:12:10I, I, I should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lincoln.
01:12:13And now Alex could, she could.
01:12:17Hey, stop.
01:12:18Don't talk like that.
01:12:19Oh, my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:45Jesus Christ.
01:12:47I was so worried.
01:12:48I thought...
01:12:49I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:57I'm fine.
01:12:59You should leave.
01:13:02What?
01:13:02What are you talking about?
01:13:04Lakin, why are you here?
01:13:06I'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.
01:13:31I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:32I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:33I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:34I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:35I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:36I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:37I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:38I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:39I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:40I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:41I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:42I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:43I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:44I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:45I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:46I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:47I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:48I don't want to be your charity case.
01:13:49Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:19It's good to see you awake.
01:14:23You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:29I got you something.
01:14:44This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:49Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:52It was Dad.
01:14:54You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode,
01:14:57so he's been helping out with Mulya while Aiken watches over you here.
01:15:00Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:03Fancy 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. It's 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, hey, Alex.
01:15:24You deserve love.
01:15:26It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:31What is that?
01:15:41Jesus.
01:15:43Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:58Fuck.
01:15:59I'm sorry, I just-
01:16:01I thought you might need some help.
01:16:03Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:05Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:07Sorry.
01:16:09Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:11Alex.
01:16:12You're recovering from surgery.
01:16:13Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:15What?
01:16:16I've got it.
01:16:17I've got it from here.
01:16:18Alex.
01:16:19You're recovering from surgery.
01:16:20Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:22Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:50She misses you.
01:16:52Everyone misses you.
01:16:53My 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-
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.
01:17:14It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:18What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you, do you
01:17:27really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:31They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:34Hey, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again,
01:17:37they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:39That's not sacrifice.
01:17:42That's love.
01:17:44I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:48About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:52I 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,
01:18:06it's not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:11It is simply because you love them.
01:18:16Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:30I 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.
01:18:41Prove it?
01:18:42How?
01:18:43Is that...?
01:18:44Scars.
01:18:45Just like yours.
01:18:46Are those tattoos?
01:19:00I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:05I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:15Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:20Please.
