00:08:49lucifer's angelic younger brother
00:08:51you are
00:08:52alex lincoln's new assistant and 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
00:09:05get in here
00:09:06we 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
00:09:43nothing definitive yet
00:09:45um
00:09:48sorry 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
00:10:02you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:05uh
00:10:06no
00:10:07but
00:10:08i 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
00:10:23actually that could work
00:10:25worth a shot
00:10:26i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:32is there anything else i should know about my business
00:10:34not yet
00:10:36not yet
00:10:37not yet
00:10:39not yet
00:10:41not yet
00:10:42not yet
00:10:43you heard her
00:10:45let's move on this right away
00:10:47that'll be all
00:10:48not yet
00:10:50not yet
00:10:52absolutely not
00:10:53she stays
00:10:54not yet
00:10:55not yet
00:10:56not yet
00:10:57we're gonna be able to do
00:10:59through an assistant or two
00:11:00seven this year
00:11:01this girl is overstepping
00:11:02she's jumping on executive leadership calls
00:11:04yes she was right
00:11:05but she's 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
00:11:14Lincoln, a good leader isn't threatened by his employees.
00:11:17Threatened? I 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.
00:11:25This constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak.
00:11:31You have to keep Alex.
00:11:35What are you saying?
00:11:37You fire her and the board will find another CEO.
00:11:44Hey, Malia, right?
00:12:05How are you feeling?
00:12:06Better. Thank you for helping me the other day.
00:12:09Of course. You know, if you ever start to feel like that,
00:12:12you 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.
00:12:38Come on, it's only been a week.
00:12:41You 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?
00:12:55Alex, 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?
00:13:32I need you to stay.
00:13:33How about starting with an apology?
00:13:38I'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.
00:13:51Alex, hang on.
00:14:08Alex.
00:14:09Hey.
00:14:10Alex.
00:14:10Hey, Alex, wait one second.
00:14:12Look, 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.
00:14:32Got it.
00:14:35And you said something about doubling my salary.
00:14:39Stick around for a few more months and then we'll talk, okay?
00:14:46You won't regret it.
00:14:48Want to bet?
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:49Yeah.
00:15:02Sorry 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 ordered drinks.
00:15:32A 2005 Roman A. Conti.
00:15:36Best bottle on the menu.
00:15:39It better be.
00:15:39It costs $15,000.
00:15:41We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:43Not until after I get board approval.
00:15:50So, 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.
00:16:17Maybe we could try a little harder.
00:16:30Hey.
00:16:32I just wanted to give you a status report before I head home.
00:16:34Thank you, Ms. Livingston.
00:16:38So, regarding South Korea, I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week.
00:16:42I'm working...
00:16:43Lakin, are you listening to me?
00:16:59Uh, sorry.
00:17:00As I was saying, uh, where was I?
00:17:02You can just take your top off.
00:17:05Oh, my God.
00:17:06I 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 are getting along better?
00:17:35Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:37So, that little argument you guys had the other day, what was that?
00:17:42A lover's quarrel?
00:17:45Look who's blushing.
00:17:47I am not blushing, and that wasn't a lover's quarrel.
00:17:51He doesn't like me like that.
00:17:53So he didn't run after you in the elevator and sweep you off your feet?
00:17:58Chase.
00:17:59Lakin.
00:18:01So we were just talking about you.
00:18:03Lovely assistant you've got here.
00:18:05Such a sweetheart.
00:18:06Anywho, I gotta go.
00:18:08I'll talk to you later, Alex.
00:18:10You needed me for something?
00:18:14The, uh, the company's hosting a charity fundraiser tomorrow night,
00:18:18and I need you to go with me.
00:18:21You need a date?
00:18:22No, uh, what I need is my assistant close by.
00:18:26So, if you have any plans, just go ahead and cancel them.
00:18:30And here.
00:18:32Take my card and buy yourself a dress this afternoon.
00:18:34Try to keep it under $10,000, all right?
00:18:38No problem.
00:18:39I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.
00:18:44Got it.
00:18:45Under $10,000.
00:18:48Oh.
00:18:50And seeing as I'm buying,
00:18:52I like red.
00:18:54I like red.
00:18:59And I'm like, and I don't care.
00:19:09I want to take you back.
00:19:11I want to, I want to take you back.
00:19:49I thought I said I like red.
00:20:03Did you?
00:20:05Oops.
00:20:06Must have slipped my mind.
00:20:19Looks like we're almost there.
00:20:32Remember, this is a work event.
00:20:35The whole board's going to be there.
00:20:37It's easy on the drinks.
00:20:38Do as I say, not as I do.
00:20:54You ready?
00:20:57It's easy.
00:21:27Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar.
00:21:58I think that's a very sweet man.
00:22:00I'm not embarrassed.
00:22:01It's just private.
00:22:06My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:08I see.
00:22:14I apologize.
00:22:15I didn't know.
00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:19Hey.
00:22:19I need it.
00:22:26I'm sorry.
00:22:34I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:37I'll be right back.
00:22:38Look at you.
00:22:46You look stunning.
00:22:49Let's see the dress.
00:22:53Let's get to turn you and me straight.
00:22:55Picked it out just for you.
00:22:56It's perfect.
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:58I'll be right back.
00:23:04I'll be right back.
00:23:05It's just the way I've never let me go
00:23:09Why do we feel like we're not good enough
00:23:13Why don't we lose all of this care but it's fun
00:23:17For you.
00:23:19Hey, bro. Is that for me?
00:23:21Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:22And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:27Dane?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29Uh, my guest. You 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.
00:23:35It's just a dance. Do not be weird about this.
00:23:50Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:51Everyone else is dancing. It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:55And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right.
00:24:05So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:18Chase?
00:24:21Of course not. That was nothing.
00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:26If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:30Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:32I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:35Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's, you know.
00:24:42He's what?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind.
00:24:50So, you guys aren't that close then?
00:24:53Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:24:57If 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.
00:25:05That's none of your concern.
00:25:08Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:12It's unprofessional.
00:25:17What?
00:25:17This?
00:25:19This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:21Right.
00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.
00:25:28It's completely innocent.
00:25:30Hmm.
00:25:31We're rarely touching.
00:25:37Lincoln.
00:25:40Dad.
00:25:42Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:47Miss Livingston?
00:25:48Shall we?
00:25:56Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:01Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:08Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:11Oh, yes.
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:14Nice work.
00:26:14Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:18I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:30Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34I'm Lincoln.
00:26:35What are you doing here?
00:26:37I just thought I'd stop by.
00:26:38I thought you could use the moral support.
00:26:41Where's Malia?
00:26:41I got a babysitter.
00:26:44I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:51Who's this?
00:26:52Uh, no one.
00:26:54Just, uh, my assistant.
00:26:57Alex.
00:26:58Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:01As I was saying, the transit time's in New York.
00:27:04Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:06Don't be a poor.
00:27:07It's a party.
00:27:09No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:10Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:13Maybe later.
00:27:14These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:19What are you doing?
00:27:30Are you drunk?
00:27:30The whole office is here.
00:27:32We never have any time together.
00:27:33And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:27:35We're not together anymore.
00:27:37You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.
00:27:40Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:42I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
00:27:44I just...
00:27:46I miss you.
00:27:49And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.
00:27:53I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:27:56For all time's sake.
00:28:00One dance.
00:28:16Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Max Lincoln, so tense.
00:28:36I could fix that, you know.
00:28:38What 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.
00:28:54It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.
00:28:59We 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, don't.
00:29:11Kiss me.
00:29:12If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:20Stop.
00:29:20Jesus.
00:29:24Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:27Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me.
00:29:32You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:35Because you know I will.
00:29:38Let me make something very clear to you.
00:29:41We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:29:43You hear me?
00:29:44Ever.
00:29:45Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:30:00Not having any fun?
00:30:13Yeah.
00:30:13No.
00:30:20Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:21It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:31And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:35And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:40So it's the last call, right?
00:30:41I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:30:43Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.
00:30:44Oh, my God.
00:30:46Stop.
00:30:49Something funny?
00:30:54Time to go.
00:30:54It's okay.
00:31:07Arturo.
00:31:09Took Miss Livingston home.
00:31:10You're being incredibly rude.
00:31:12You know that?
00:31:12You're getting wasted at a company party.
00:31:15It's totally inappropriate.
00:31:17Don't you inappropriate me.
00:31:19Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.
00:31:20You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:22Okay, first of all, she's my ex.
00:31:25And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:27I'm a CEO.
00:31:29Interrupt.
00:31:30Right.
00:31:31Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:31:34What, my title not good enough for you?
00:31:35Charming your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:37CEO this week, chairman the next.
00:31:40Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.
00:31:42What do you care anyway?
00:31:44I thought you weren't attracted to me.
00:31:46I'm not.
00:31:48Oh, yeah?
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:51Liar.
00:31:51I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:15Yeah, well, there's a lot.
00:32:17You don't know about me.
00:32:26That cost $8,000.
00:32:28Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:31Now get the hell over here.
00:32:33Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:32:47I don't want to be with you.
00:33:00I don't want to be with you.
00:33:02I want to be with you.
00:33:05I don't want to be with you.
00:33:23You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:48Uh, no.
00:33:53Right. No. Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:18Morning.
00:34:21Morning.
00:34:23I 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.
00:34:52Camila really messed him up.
00:34:53Look, 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.
00:35:11Yeah.
00:35:12Maybe it's just best to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:17Look, I 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.
00:35:33I can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:55Dad insisted.
00:35:57Something about never getting to see Malia these days.
00:35:59I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.
00:36:03You know, like normal business partners and not...
00:36:06Family members.
00:36:07Exactly.
00:36:12Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me.
00:36:21You?
00:36:22Ah, you're too tall.
00:36:24No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.
00:36:27Hey, has anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm.
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:33Hee hee hee.
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:55Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it.
00:37:21Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:25Me neither.
00:37:25It's okay.
00:37:37I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:43He's right.
00:37:45It is.
00:37:46Look on the bright side.
00:37:48At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:59That was delicious.
00:38:00All right.
00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:07Mr. Blankton, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:20Alex, I have seen a change in my son.
00:38:24Really?
00:38:25It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:29You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.
00:38:37Thank you, Jace.
00:38:38You're very welcome.
00:38:39Jace, don't.
00:38:39Bye.
00:38:42Want to 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.
00:38:51I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:14I think you're bad.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:21I'll be right back.
00:39:51She likes you, you know?
00:39:56She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:59I like her, too.
00:40:07So, are we going to figure out what happened?
00:40:11Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:16Your job is not in danger.
00:40:17Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:25What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I 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...
00:40:41I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:46I want you, Alex.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:49What if we separate church and state?
00:41:01At work, we're professional.
00:41:05But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:09I think the light is sliding.
00:41:11I'm sleepwalking through all of my problems, no.
00:41:17I can't make it through.
00:41:20Every night is the same.
00:41:22I keep running fast, left and right.
00:41:26Wondering where my head's gone now.
00:41:29I'm sleepwalking through all of my problems, no.
00:41:34Malia, hurry.
00:41:38Come on.
00:41:39Go.
00:41:39Come on.
00:41:41Let's go, Malia.
00:41:42Come on.
00:41:43Mom.
00:41:44Faster.
00:41:46Hey.
00:41:47Uh, Lincoln's not here right now.
00:41:50He just landed in New York.
00:41:51New York.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:53But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:57Going to LA.
00:41:59Business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:02Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be childcare.
00:42:05I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:09Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey.
00:42:24It's okay, Malia.
00:42:25Okay.
00:42:31Alex, what'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.
00:42:52Hi, honey.
00:42:53Are you okay?
00:42:54Hi.
00:42:55Listen, uh, Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:42:59I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:02Everything is fine.
00:43:03I love you.
00:43:04I love you, too.
00:43:10I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:13So much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:24Okay, so we'll get you fed.
00:43:30I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets back, is that too much rice?
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:45Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of.
00:43:51Sometimes she leaves me with some of her friends for a few days, so she can go on work trips.
00:44:00Work trips.
00:44:01Huh.
00:44:03Does your dad know about this?
00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:08She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit!
00:44:14I mean, shoot!
00:44:21Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:36Malia.
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:41I didn't mean to.
00:44:43I'm sorry.
00:44:43I didn't mean to.
00:44:45I didn't mean to.
00:44:47I didn't mean to.
00:44:49I didn't mean to.
00:44:51I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:44:59Good.
00:45:04How will we order some pizza?
00:45:06Malia, do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:36You can talk to me. Believe me, I understand.
00:45:46What do you mean?
00:45:51It's from surgery. I was born with a heart defect, just like you.
00:45:56Really? I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:06Who is it?
00:46:23It's me.
00:46:28I can. Hi.
00:46:35Hi. Can I see Malia?

00:47:19I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:21No, you stay too.
00:47:26It's alright with me.
00:47:28No, I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:33Absolutely.
00:47:40No, I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:41No, I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:43I can sleep on the couch.

00:49:14you like the neighbors
00:49:18you like the neighbors
00:49:27you know I think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:36you know I think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:50you know I think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:55so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:04not really
00:50:08sorry I um I was just curious
00:50:15congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much
00:50:21too much
00:50:22this condition this condition these bills this scar
00:50:27my parents were incredible they gave up everything for me they drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal and now they're gone
00:50:39car accident when I was a senior in high school I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then
00:50:48Alex
00:50:50Alex
00:50:51sorry way too much information
00:50:53especially from a fuck buddy you don't need to know my sob story
00:50:57you know that Malia's heart condition is congenital
00:51:03I know
00:51:04she told me
00:51:05yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:08look I've never told anybody this but
00:51:12Malia was born with her defect because Camilla
00:51:17she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out in modeling gigs
00:51:24I only found out before it was too late
00:51:28oh my god
00:51:30it's terrible
00:51:32truth is
00:51:34she never really wanted to have a baby
00:51:36I did
00:51:38I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family
00:51:41turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket
00:51:45I'm so sorry Lincoln
00:51:49the only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:53is for the money
00:51:55not for me
00:51:56and certainly not for her daughter
00:51:58she's always been irresponsible but this latest stunt
00:52:03abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:05it's
00:52:06have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:10I want to but
00:52:11it's too risky
00:52:12the courts usually side with the mother
00:52:14I can't risk losing my daughter
00:52:16they don't always
00:52:19Malia 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
00:52:30it's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met
00:52:34I think you could have a case here
00:52:36I don't know
00:52:37I don't want to put her through that
00:52:39I mean
00:52:40making her testify against her own mother
00:52:43I can't do that
00:52:44I know you want what's best for Malia
00:52:47and sharing her with Camilla isn't it
00:52:50maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants
00:52:54and if that's money fine
00:52:56you have it
00:52:58Malia deserves people in her life who care about her
00:53:01you're right
00:53:03Malia deserves better
00:53:05I will talk to her this week
00:53:08thank you
00:53:18seems like I owe you again

00:54:13I know this wasn't part of the job description
00:54:15and I'm sure dealing with my ex
00:54:17wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:24right
00:54:25not exactly
00:54:27he told you all of that?
00:54:33what are you a miracle worker?

00:55:05if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant
00:55:07he wanted me to keep him away from Camilla

00:55:26cause 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
00:55:31he'll think I'm just using him
00:55:33well
00:55:34maybe he doesn't have to find out
00:55:37Chase
00:55:38I can't keep lying to him

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
00:57:07but that girl is using you Lakin
00:57:10I 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
00:57:29if 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
00:57:39just ask your dad
00:57:48is it true?
00:57:50Lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:52did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:58it was for your own good
00:57:59do not give me that father knows best routine
00:58:02this is a complete betrayal of my trust
00:58:04your personal issues were affecting not only the business but our family
00:58:08that is absurd
00:58:10this has nothing to do with the company
00:58:12your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader
00:58:17as in does the way you close yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:21so what? I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?
00:58:24that is bullshit
00:58:26my love life is none of your business
00:58:28but the well-being of my granddaughter still is
00:58:33Alex is a smart girl with a good heart
00:58:36she cares about Malia
00:58:38and she challenges you
00:58:40she's fired
00:58:42thanks to you
00:58:53what are you doing here?
00:59:10we need to talk
00:59:12we are?
00:59:14you want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:18is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:22because you still love her?
00:59:24god it was so fucking stupid
00:59:25were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:30god, Alex, I...
00:59:32I trusted you, I...
00:59:34I told you things that I've never even told my family
00:59:37and this whole time
00:59:39you were just in it for the money
00:59:41I...
00:59:43that was before anything happened between us

00:59:47that kind of money

00:59:50but I never meant to hurt you
00:59:52and fucking me what?
00:59:53that was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:55that's all I am to you?
00:59:57just...

01:03:52I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:04You really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:15I heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:25Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:28We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:32I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:36I don't.
01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:43What do you care?
01:04:45She's all yours now.
01:04:46Her little deal with dad is mute, and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:56You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:07I'm sorry.
01:05:10Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:15Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:24I'm good.
01:05:24Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:42But you're always flirting with her, Alex.
01:05:44I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:45She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:49She cares about you.
01:05:51A lot.
01:05:54She hated the deal.
01:05:55She hated lying to you.
01:05:58She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:02And why should I?
01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:10Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:15Call her.
01:06:45Call her.
01:06:46Call her.
01:06:47Call her.
01:06:48Call her.
01:06:49Call her.
01:06:50Call her.
01:06:51Call her.
01:06:52Call her.
01:06:53Call her.
01:06:54Call her.
01:06:55Call her.
01:06:56Call her.
01:06:57Call her.
01:06:58Call her.
01:06:59Call her.
01:07:00Call her.
01:07:01Call her.
01:07:02Call her.
01:07:03Call her.
01:07:04Call her.
01:07:05Call her.
01:07:06Call her.
01:07:07Call her.
01:07:08Call her.
01:07:09Call her.
01:07:10Call her.
01:07:11Call her.
01:07:12Call her.
01:07:13Call her.
01:07:14Call her.
01:07:15Fuck him.
01:07:33So, that's $250,000 a year?
01:07:37Every year?
01:07:38Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:41So, 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.
01:08:41All right?
01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me,
01:08:45I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:53Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11And now, Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:20On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:23You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:25What else could you want?
01:09:26Maybe a certain little assistant to 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?
01:09:45She 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?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:29Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:33Uh, what are you doing here?
01:10:36Uh, Jace 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 have seen you take my break right now.
01:11:04Alex, hey.
01:11:10You okay?
01:11:12You okay?
01:11:14Someone call 911!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20It's okay.
01:11:29Changing Dr. Benger.
01:11:31Changing Dr. Benger.
01:11:33Any 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, they're going to operate tomorrow, and that her chances are 50-50.
01:11:57Jesus.
01:11:57Jesus.
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.
01:12:46I 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.
01:13:08Because...
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 you to tell her.
01:13:36I don't want to take care of you.
01:13:38I'm sorry.
01:13:40I don't like you too much for watching.
01:13:41I don't...
01:13:42I don't know.
01:13:42I don't like you.
01:13:44See you.
01:13:44I don't like you.
01:13:46I want to tell her.
01:13:47I feel like I'll ever hurry up in a movie with a Tweetsh GREG
01:13:49or not million people.
01:13:51Are you worried about you?
01:13:52Sorry?
01:13:53No.
01:13:54I?
01:13:55I don't think of it so much for it.
01:13:56Do I know?
01:13:58You either?
01:13:58I know.
01:13:59What about YouTube?
01:14:00Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:21It's good to see you awake.
01:14:23You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:25I got you something.
01:14:44This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:53It was Dad.
01:14:55You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Mulya 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.
01:15:08He shouldn't have.
01:15:09You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:11Dad was good for it.
01:15:13It's done.
01:15:15I don't deserve it.
01:15:17What are you talking about?
01:15:19Look at me, Jace.
01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:15:22Why should I...
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:24You deserve love.
01:15:30It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:32Jesus.
01:15:38I'm sorry.
01:15:40I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:43Fuck.
01:15:43I'm sorry.
01:15:44I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:47Fuck.
01:15:48I thought you might need some help.
01:16:04Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:06Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:13Sorry.
01:16:15Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:17Alex.
01:16:18You're recovering from surgery.
01:16:20Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:22Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:49She misses you.
01:16:52Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad.
01:16:56Jace.
01:16:59And me.
01:16:59It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:07I can see that now.
01:17:09I've just...
01:17:09I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:12And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:15It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:18What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you, do you
01:17:28really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:32They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:35Yeah, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again,
01:17:38they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:41That's not sacrifice.
01:17:44That's love.
01:17:45I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:49About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:53I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:58But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me,
01:18:03is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:10It is simply because you love them.
01:18:17Miss Livingston,
01:18:18you are the most selfless, independent, strong,
01:18:26and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:31I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:33And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it?
01:18:43How?
01:18:52Is that...
01:18:53Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:00I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:06I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:16Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:21Please.
01:19:25I love you too.
01:19:26I love you too.
01:19:30What are you doing next week?
01:19:55I want to take you to a party.
01:19:57Another gala?
01:20:02Something like that.
01:20:04And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:07Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:16Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:20Happy birthday to you.
01:20:33What did you wish for?
01:20:35A new mommy.
01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:41I got you something.
01:20:47It might not be the biggest present you get,
01:20:49but I think you'll like it.
01:20:52I have one too.
01:20:55Just like you.
01:20:56Good night.
01:21:14Love you.
01:21:17I'm coming.
01:21:19Just like you.
01:21:20Come with us, don't hold back
01:21:25Tonight, I'm only in the sky
