00:07:20and your new boss her are you joking i certainly am not i'm still ceo for now you do as i say
00:07:41welcome aboard
00:07:46all right let's get started did you bring your notepad from the restaurant
00:07:58coffee black every day within five minutes of my arrival lunch will be at 1 pm sharp no fast food
00:08:07are you writing this down i also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from amelio's
00:08:13oh and stay out of my personal life that'll be all for now i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:23that means you can go
00:08:38lakin i like lucifer
00:08:40this bark's worse than his bite trust me i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are
00:08:50alex lincoln's new assistant and uh it would be great if you didn't mention that super
00:08:55unprofessional name calling i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:08:59alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea you're gonna need that coming
00:09:09we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure it's costing us labor shortages
00:09:19at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times and shifting our operations
00:09:26to detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford right now so what we're just going to bleed
00:09:31cash while you evaluate i need solutions faster not more excuses people we're exploring alternatives
00:09:40nothing 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
00:09:55contracts to offset the overflow
00:09:56uh so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics uh no but i was looking over last
00:10:06quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but cleveland's underutilized and you're
00:10:11already paying for the rail infrastructure it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could
00:10:16keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely actually that could work worth a shot
00:10:22i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:29is there anything else i should know about my business not yet
00:10:38uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all
00:10:44alex has to go absolutely not she stays look dad i understand that i've been through an assistant or
00:10:54two seven this year this girl is overstepping she's jumping on executive leadership calls yes
00:11:01she was right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my
00:11:06position with the board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job lincoln a good leader
00:11:12isn't threatened by his employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like
00:11:18i've lost control well the board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover
00:11:24makes you look indecisive and weak you have to keep alex oh what are you saying you fire her and the
00:11:35board will find another ceo
00:11:58hey malia right how are you feeling better thank you for helping

00:32:55I'm gonna slip away, you know I won't do this thing
00:32:58Cause I won't be with you, I won't be with you
00:33:02I won't know why, we can't let this go to waste
00:33:05I don't want nobody else to see
00:33:09Don't let this go to waste
00:33:12I won't be with you, I won't be with you
00:33:25You, uh, wanna come inside?
00:33:45Uh, no
00:33:47Right, no, of course not
00:33:53Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday
00:33:59Morning
00:34:17Morning
00:34:23I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me
00:34:32It's not your fault, Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know
00:34:36Me, dad
00:34:38But I've seen how he is with Malia and...
00:34:40She's a soft spot
00:34:42Laken's got some serious trust issues
00:34:45Like, he needs therapy about it
00:34:48Camila really messed him up
00:34:50Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:54That bitch is a gold digger
00:34:56I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career
00:34:59It took him, like, three years to come to his senses
00:35:01And when he finally did
00:35:02Oh, surprise, surprise
00:35:03Guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:07Jesus
00:35:07Maybe it's just best to pretend like this never happened
00:35:12It sounds like he's been through a lot
00:35:14Look, I gotta run to a meeting
00:35:21How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:24Seven?
00:35:25I'll text you the details
00:35:26Yeah, I'm down
00:35:28Great
00:35:30Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner
00:35:51Dad insisted
00:35:53Something about never getting to see Malia these days
00:35:56I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office
00:36:00You know, like, normal business partners and not...
00:36:03Family members
00:36:03Exactly
00:36:05Did you, uh, give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:16Grandpa, I told you it's me
00:36:18You?
00:36:19Ah, you're too tall
00:36:20No, my Malia, last time I saw her
00:36:22She was just about my knee high
00:36:24Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:27Hmm
00:36:27Because this little woman is an imposter
00:36:30Are we expecting company?
00:36:34Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:46Alex?
00:36:53Lincoln?
00:36:54You made it
00:36:55Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex
00:37:20Me neither
00:37:22It's okay
00:37:33I don't like asparagus either
00:37:36My dad says I have to eat it
00:37:38Because it's healthy for me
00:37:40He's right
00:37:41It is
00:37:43Look on the bright side
00:37:44At least it's not brussel sprouts, am I right?
00:37:55Thank you
00:37:55That was delicious
00:37:56All right
00:37:58Miss Livingston
00:38:02A word
00:38:04Uh, Mr. Blainford
00:38:13About the other night
00:38:14I know the gala was a mess with Camilla
00:38:17Alex
00:38:18I've seen a change in my son
00:38:21Really?
00:38:22It's the first time I've seen him smile in years
00:38:25Keep doing what you're doing
00:38:26You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:30I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone
00:38:33Thank you, Jace
00:38:35You're very welcome
00:38:36Jace, don't
00:38:36Bye-bye
00:38:37Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:41Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:44But I want to hang out with Alex
00:38:46Please, Daddy
00:38:47Please
00:38:48Works for me
00:38:54I'll be right back
00:39:07Hey
00:39:08Come on
00:39:11Come on
00:39:14Let's go
00:39:43She likes you, you know?
00:39:52She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:56I like her too.
00:40:04So, are we going to figure out what happened?
00:40:08Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:10Your job is not in danger.
00:40:17Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:22What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:24I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:28Not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:32But 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.
00:40:43I want you, Alex.
00:40:45That's the problem.
00:40:52What if we separate church and state?
00:40:57At work, we're professional.
00:41:02But outside of work, we're...
00:41:05Unprofessional?
00:41:06I think the light is sliding.
00:41:08I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems and no.
00:41:14I can't make it through.
00:41:17Every night is the same.
00:41:20I keep running fast, left and right.
00:41:23Wondering where my head's gone now.
00:41:26I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems and no.
00:41:31Mulia, hurry.
00:41:35Come on.
00:41:36Come on.
00:41:36Come on.
00:41:38Let's go, Mulia.
00:41:39Come on.
00:41:40Mom!
00:41:41Faster.
00:41:41Leigh.
00:41:43Hey, uh...
00:41:45Lincoln's not here right now.
00:41:47He just landed in New York.
00:41:49I know.
00:41:50But it turns out I can't take Mulia at all this week.
00:41:53going to LA business trip

00:45:37You can talk to me. Believe me, I understand.
00:45:44What do you mean?
00:45:48It's from surgery. I was born with a heart defect, just like you.
00:45:54Really? I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:07Who is it?
00:46:20It's me.

00:48:06her to school we're all alone what about work hmm time off for good behavior
00:48:18thank you again for taking care of her
00:48:31it wasn't a problem
00:48:36apparently it is for her mother
00:48:41let me make it up to you
00:48:48how are you going to do that
00:48:53let me show you
00:49:01lately feels like i've been faking think there's a stranger here
00:49:07you like the neighbors
00:49:12you like the neighbors
00:49:24you like the neighbors
00:49:33you know i think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:42you know i think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:51so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:01not really
00:50:10sorry i um i was just curious
00:50:12congenital heart defect
00:50:19this condition these bills
00:50:21this scar my parents were incredible
00:50:27they gave up everything for me
00:50:29they drained their savings in what
00:50:31they did a life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal and now they're
00:50:36gone
00:50:38car accident when i was a senior
00:50:40in high school
00:50:49in high school
00:50:51i begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then
00:50:53i was just curious to know what i was saying
00:50:58you know that malia's heart condition is congenital
00:51:00i know
00:51:01she told me
00:51:03yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:05look i've never told anybody this but
00:51:11malia was born with her defect because camilla
00:51:16she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out in modeling gigs
00:51:22i only found out before it was too late
00:51:25oh my god
00:51:27it's terrible
00:51:29truth is
00:51:31she never really wanted to have a baby
00:51:33i did
00:51:35i was the one who wanted us to be a happy family
00:51:39turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket
00:51:44i'm so sorry lincoln
00:51:48the only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:51is for the money
00:51:52not for me and certainly not for her daughter
00:51:56you know she she's always been irresponsible but this latest stunt
00:52:00you know abandoning her daughter like that it's
00:52:04have you thought about pursuing soul custody
00:52:06i want to but it's too risky
00:52:09i mean the courts usually side with the mother i i can't risk losing my daughter
00:52:14they don't always
00:52:18malia told me this wasn't the first time camilla's done something like this
00:52:22what did she say to you
00:52:24camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips it's dangerous and clearly her emotional
00:52:30needs aren't being met i think you could have a case here i don't know i don't want to put her
00:52:36through that i mean making her testify against her own mother i can't do that
00:52:41i know you want what's best for malia and sharing her with camilla isn't it
00:52:49maybe you should just give camilla what she really wants
00:52:52and if that's money fine you have it
00:52:56malia deserves people in her life who care about her
00:52:59you're right malia deserves better
00:53:04i will talk to her this week
00:53:14thank you
00:53:19seems like i owe you again
00:53:24greedy i meant breakfast
00:53:26you can cook
00:53:30yes i can
00:53:32for the right company
00:53:42ta-da
00:53:51i should have known someone near sugar would have such a sweet tooth
00:53:56shit fuck i'm sorry i didn't mean to
00:54:00it's okay really it's
00:54:03actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again
00:54:08thank you again for everything i know this wasn't part of the job description
00:54:13and i'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:17great not exactly
00:54:29he told you all of that what are you a miracle worker
00:54:32the saint
00:54:33hardly
00:54:36look if i tell you something you promise not to say anything to anyone
00:54:43cross my heart hope to die
00:54:44your dad is paying me to do this to help lakin
00:54:53that's what a job is you work for the company you know that right
00:54:56you don't understand your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for
00:55:02life if i stuck it out as lakin's assistant he wanted me to keep him away from camilla
00:55:06by any means necessary he said now that lakin and i are
00:55:12fucking like rabbits co-workers with benefits excuse me it just it seems wrong not to tell him
00:55:22why because you're helping him get his together and getting paid for it seems like a win-win to me
00:55:26it won't feel like that if he finds out he'll think i'm just using him well maybe he doesn't
00:55:32have to find out chase i can't keep lying to him i think i think i'm falling for him
00:55:44so more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:55thanks for meeting me i wanted to talk to you about your new girlfriend
00:56:00what i know all about your little sleepover you know i'd appreciate it if you told me before
00:56:08bringing another woman into our daughter's life especially that one what do you mean by that one
00:56:14alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in la it was a work trip oh really
00:56:30she's already proven to be way better at taking care of malia than you've ever been which is
00:56:33actually why i'm here enough is enough i want sole custody so this is it you want to break up our
00:56:44family for that lying you don't want a family you just want my money i see right through you camilla
00:56:50you think i want money how much do you know about your little assistant what do you mean
00:57:00i hate to be the one to tell you this but that girl is using you lakin
00:57:12i overheard jason her laughing about it in the break room earlier today
00:57:16what do you mean she's using me the only reason why she's working for you
00:57:24is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me
00:57:30no she wouldn't do that that's not who she is if you don't believe me just ask your dad
00:57:36is it true lakin what are you doing here did you hire alex in order to keep tabs on me
00:57:55it was for your own good do not give me that father knows best routine
00:57:59this is a complete betrayal of my trust your personal issues were affecting not only the
00:58:04business but our family that is absurd this has nothing to do with the company your inability
00:58:09to cut camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader
00:58:14as it does the way you close yourself off from any connection romantic or so what i i can't be ceo
00:58:19if i don't open my heart that is my love life is none of your business but the well-being of my
00:58:26granddaughter still is a smart girl with a good heart she cares about malia and she challenges you
00:58:37she's fired thanks to you
00:58:56what are you doing here
00:59:07we need to talk
00:59:10we are you want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together
00:59:16is that why you haven't gotten custody of malia because you still love her god it was so stupid
00:59:22were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad god alex i i trusted you i i told
00:59:31you things that i've never even told my family and this whole time you you were just in it for the
00:59:37money i that was before anything happened between us lakin i couldn't say no that kind of money you
00:59:46know my situation but i never meant to hurt you and me what that was just a way to ensure job security
00:59:52that's all i am to you just a transaction of course not how dare you why should i believe you
01:00:03you know you're just like her i am not like camilla lincoln i care about you you're fired
01:00:11and this thing between us that's over too

01:00:51rocky road huh i've got the perfect pairing
01:01:12You're going to let me in or what?
01:01:21You are out of your mind.
01:01:23Showing up here is insane.
01:01:25Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:27I don't.
01:01:29I've changed.
01:01:30I've heard that before.
01:01:32God, it turns me on when you act like you're doing it.
01:01:34Alright, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:37Have you left your house yet?
01:01:39Well, I'm going to try and get my old job back so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:45Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.
01:01:48You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:53I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:01:56I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:09What's wrong with me?
01:02:14Nothing.
01:02:16Absolutely nothing.
01:02:23I'm sorry.
01:02:26I just...
01:02:30I think I'm going to be alone tonight.
01:02:32Hey.
01:02:39Text me, okay?
01:02:40Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:45We will.
01:02:48I promise.
01:03:02I don't know.
01:03:11I promise.
01:03:27You're so detailed.
01:03:28Hey, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:49I used to work here.
01:03:51Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:03:58You really need to give me a key.
01:04:06You want a drink?
01:04:07Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:09Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:18Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:23Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:25We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:29I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:33I don't.
01:04:35Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:38Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:40What do you care?
01:04:42She's all yours now.
01:04:43Her little deal with dad is mute, and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:47Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:53Yeah.
01:04:53You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about
01:04:59his own life.
01:05:04I'm sorry.
01:05:08Really.
01:05:08I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:11Are you good?
01:05:20I'm good.
01:05:21I'm good.
01:05:21Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:36But you're always flirting with her, Alex.
01:05:41I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:44She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:46She cares about you.
01:05:48A lot.
01:05:51She hated the deal.
01:05:53She hated lying to you.
01:05:55She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:05:56And why should I?
01:06:01Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:07Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:13Call her.
01:06:14Oh, God.
01:06:38Oh.
01:06:39Oh, God.
01:06:39Oh, God.
01:06:42Oh.
01:06:42Oh.
01:06:43Oh, God.
01:06:43It looks all that I have to put because I'm having the bathroom.
01:06:47It's not like my bathroom.
01:06:51I don't need to know that I can see my bathroom.
01:06:56I'll be in shape.
01:06:59I'm not going to have a bathroom.
01:07:04It's just a little bit dirty.
01:07:08I'm dying.
01:07:12Fuck him.
01:07:30So, that's $250,000 a year.
01:07:34Every year.
01:07:35Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:38So, in nine more years then?
01:07:40Eight.
01:07:42You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:02Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:09You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:10She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:12I can't.
01:08:13I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:15Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:27Good fucking riddance.
01:08:30I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:32Only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:34I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?
01:08:39If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:50Congrats, bro.
01:08:52Let's celebrate.
01:08:53Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:05Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:08And now Malia has to live the rest of her life, knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:17On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:20You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:22What else could you want?
01:09:25Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody?
01:09:29She blocked my number.
01:09:31And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:35That would make me look insane.
01:09:38Well, insane or romantic?
01:09:43She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:46And I don't blame her.
01:09:47Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:55She's working here again?
01:09:58Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:00Go get her.
01:10:05Hi.
01:10:17Ready to order?
01:10:18I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:27Alex.
01:10:29Lincoln?
01:10:30Uh, what are you doing here?
01:10:33Uh, Jace brought me.
01:10:35To celebrate.
01:10:38I want full custody.
01:10:41Congratulations.
01:10:42Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:46Uh.
01:10:47Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.
01:10:51I made a huge mistake.
01:10:53Thanks.
01:10:54I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:01Alex, hey.
01:11:02Someone call 911.
01:11:15Help!
01:11:16It's okay.
01:11:17Yeah.
01:11:17Any update?
01:11:41There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but
01:11:43the doctor said that
01:11:46she's in critical condition, they're gonna operate tomorrow,
01:11:50and then her chances are fifty-fifty.
01:11:53Jesus. Her heart
01:11:56must be overwhelmed by all the stress. The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:02And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't help either.
01:12:07I should have just left her alone. It's not your fault, Lakin.
01:12:10And now Alex could...
01:12:13She could... Hey, stop. Don't talk like that.
01:12:17Oh my god, Alex. You're awake. Jesus Christ. I was so worried. I thought...
01:12:21I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:25Oh my god, Alex. You're awake. Jesus Christ. I was so worried. I thought...
01:12:33I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:37I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:41Thank you. I'm fine.
01:12:43You should leave.
01:12:45What? What are you talking about?
01:12:47Lakin, why are you here?
01:12:51Lakin, why are you here?
01:12:52I'm here because I care about you. Because...
01:12:54Because you feel guilty.
01:12:56This is what you do. You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:02No. It's not like that. I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin. I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:20You are not a burden. I don't think that. I'd like you to go.
01:13:42Lakin, why are you here?
01:14:08Morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:12It's good to see you awake. You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:22I got you something.
01:14:28This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:44Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:48It was Dad.
01:14:52You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Mulya while Lakin watches over you here.
01:14:58Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:02Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:04He shouldn't have.
01:15:06You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:08Dad was good for it.
01:15:10It's done.
01:15:12I don't deserve it.
01:15:14What are you talking about?
01:15:16Look at me, Jace.
01:15:18I'm literally fucking scarred, why should I-
01:15:20Hey, Alex.
01:15:22You deserve love.
01:15:24It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:36It's about time you get out of your own way.
01:15:54Alex.
01:15:55Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:57Fuck.
01:15:58I'm sorry.
01:15:59I just-
01:16:00I thought you might need some help.
01:16:02Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:04Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:11Sorry.
01:16:12Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:14Alex.
01:16:15You're recovering from surgery.
01:16:17Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:24Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:48She misses you.
01:16:50Everyone misses you.
01:16:52My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:01It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:04I can see that now.
01:17:06I've just-
01:17:07I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:10And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:12It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:16What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you.
01:17:25Do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:28They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:32Hey, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again, they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:38That's not sacrifice.
01:17:41That's love.
01:17:43I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:45About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:50I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:55But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me, is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:08It is simply because you love them.
01:18:13Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:28I can't stop.
01:18:30It's true.
01:18:33And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:39Prove it? How?
01:18:42Is that...
01:18:51Scars.
01:18:53Just like yours.
01:18:56Are those tattoos?
01:18:59I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:03I love you, Alex.
01:19:06I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:12Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:17Please.
01:19:22I love you too.
01:19:24I love you too.
01:19:25Is that a good idea?
01:19:26Is that a good idea?
01:19:27Is that a bad idea?
01:19:28No.
01:19:29I am.
01:19:30I love you too.
01:19:31I love you too.
01:19:32I'm not.
01:19:33I'm not.
01:19:34I'm not.
01:19:35I'm not.
01:19:36I'm not.
01:19:37What are you doing next week?
01:19:52I want to take you to a party.
01:19:56Another gala?
01:19:58Something like that.
01:20:00And you know the guest department very well.
01:20:04Who is it?
01:20:05You'll see.
01:20:12Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:18Happy birthday to you.
01:20:25What did you wish for?
01:20:31A new mommy.
01:20:35One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:41I got you something.
01:20:44It might not be the biggest present you get, but I think you'll like it.
01:20:49I have one, too.
01:20:52Just like you.
01:20:53An easy step out.
01:20:56vereal.
01:20:58Come on.
01:21:07What?
01:21:09I got you.
01:21:09I got him.
01:21:11I got him.
01:21:12Tonight is all we have, the sky is going black
01:21:17So come with us, don't hold back
01:21:22Tonight is all we have, the sky is going black
01:21:27So come with us, don't hold back
