00:00:00Assistant position.
00:00:01I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:00:03Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:00:07What are you doing here?
00:00:08I work here.
00:00:09Must be a pity hire.
00:00:11Better than daddy buying my position for me.
00:00:13Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two.
00:00:16This girl is overstepping.
00:00:17You'll fire her and the ward will find another CEO.
00:00:21I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:00:23I need you to stay.
00:00:25It's just a dance.
00:00:26Do not be weird about this.
00:00:27And besides, it's not like we're a jacket to each other, right?
00:00:31Right.
00:00:38I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:00:42Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:00:48It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:00:50She likes you, you know?
00:00:52She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:00:54That girl is using you, Lincoln.
00:00:57The only reason why she's working for you
00:00:59is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills
00:01:02if she kept you away from me.
00:01:03I can't keep lying to him.
00:01:05I think I'm falling for him.
00:01:06What if she did not make me 18 years later?
00:01:16What if she had to do she in the hospital?
00:01:18Oh, my God.
00:01:19How are you?
00:01:20I don't know.
00:01:21I don't know.

00:08:23i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:29that means you can go
00:08:41laken
00:08:42laken
00:08:42like lucifer
00:08:43this bark's worse than his bite
00:08:46trust me
00:08:47i'm jace
00:08:49lucifer's angelic younger brother
00:08:51you are
00:08:53alex laken's new assistant
00:08:55and uh
00:08:56it 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
00:09:05alex
00:09:05get in here
00:09:06we need to roll some calls to south korea
00:09:09you're gonna need that
00:09:12coming
00:09:12we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure
00:09:20it's costing us
00:09:22labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times and
00:09:28shifting 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
00:09:37i need solutions faster not more excuses people
00:09:41we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:48um sorry to interrupt
00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your
00:09:57existing rail contracts to offset the overflow
00:10:02so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:05uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional
00:10:10expense report while it could be off but cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for
00:10:15the rail infrastructure
00:10:17it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting
00:10:21you down entirely
00:10:22actually that could work worth a shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:31of course
00:10:32is there anything else i should know about my business
00:10:34you've heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all

00:11:19threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control well the board already thinks you've lost

00:21:46Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:51I thought only HR saw that.
00:21:55Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar.
00:21:58I think that's a very sweet man.
00:22:00I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.
00:22:06My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:11I see.
00:22:14I apologize. I didn't know.
00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:21Hey.
00:22:23Alex.
00:22:26I mean it.
00:22:28I'm sorry.
00:22:34I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:37I'll be right back.
00:22:38Look, that's you.
00:22:46You look stunning.
00:22:49See 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 with me, lady?
00:23:02We always want to put our camera in touch.
00:23:06It's just the way of never letting go.
00:23:10Why do we feel like we're not good enough?
00:23:14Why don't we lose all of this camera in touch?
00:23:17For you.
00:23:19Hey, bro.
00:23:20Is that for me?
00:23:21Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:23And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:27Dane?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29Uh, my guest.
00:23:30You know what I mean.
00:23:31Yeah, yeah, sure.
00:23:31I know what you mean.
00:23:32I'll take that.
00:23:33I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:47It's just a dance.
00:23:48Do not be weird about this.
00:23:50Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:52Everyone else is dancing.
00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:56And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right.
00:24:15So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:20Jace?
00:24:21Of course not.
00:24:22That was nothing.
00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:26If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:30Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:32I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:37Well, 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.
00:24:49So, 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, Lakin.
00:25:04That's none of your concern.
00:25:08Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:13It's unprofessional.
00:25:14Well, what, this?
00:25:18This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:22Right.
00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.
00:25:28It's completely innocent.
00:25:30Hmm.
00:25:31They're rarely touching.
00:25:32Lakin.
00:25:40Dad.
00:25:42Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:48Miss Livingston?
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:51Well, 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, Lakin.
00:26:08Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:11Oh, yes.
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:14Nice 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, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34Lakin.
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?
00:26:42I got a babysitter.
00:26:45I 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 times in New York can really...
00:27:05Oh, come on, Lakin.
00:27:06Don't be a bore.
00:27:07It's a party.
00:27:09No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:11Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:13Maybe later.
00:27:15These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:28What 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.
00:27:39Oh, come on, Lakin.
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 old time's sake.
00:28:00One dance.
00:28:01Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:25This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Laks, Lakin.
00:28:34So tense.
00:28:37I could fix that, you know.
00:28:39What 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.
00:29:01We tried.
00:29:02And failed miserably.
00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla.
00:29:11Don't.
00:29:11Kiss me.
00:29:13If 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.
00:29:28Lakin, 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?
00:29:44Never.
00:29:45Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:29:48Not having any fun?
00:30:13Let'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 that's the last call, right?
00:30:41I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:30:43Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.
00:30:45Oh my god!
00:30:46Stop!
00:30:49Something funny?
00:30:53Time to go.
00:30:59It's okay.
00:30:59Arturo, take 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?
00:31:35Charm 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.
00:31:57I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:16Yeah, well, there's a lot you don't know about me.
00:32:18That cost $8,000.
00:32:28Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:31Now get the hell over here.
00:32:39Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's hot.
00:32:43Fuck me.
00:32:47What are you doing?
00:33:17You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:47Uh, no.
00:33:52Right. No. Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:17Morning.
00:34:21Morning.
00:34:31I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.
00:34:36It's not your fault. 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...
00:34:44She'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.
00:34:53Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:58That 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.
00:35:10Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:22Look, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:25How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven? I'll text you the details.
00:35:31Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:32Great.
00:35:33Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:55Dad insisted.
00:35:57Something about never getting to see Malia these days.
00:35:59I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.
00:36:04You know, like, normal business partners and not...
00:36:06Family members.
00:36:08Exactly.
00:36:12Did you, uh, give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me!
00:36:21You?
00:36:22Ah, you're too tall.
00:36:24No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.
00:36:27Hey, ain'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.
00:36:55Alex?
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.
00:37:36It's okay.
00:37:37I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:43He's right.
00:37:45It is.
00:37:46Look on the bright side.
00:37:48At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:50Hehehe.
00:37:50Hehehe.
00:37:50Hehehe.
00:37:53Hehehe.
00:37:59That was delicious.
00:38:00All right.
00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:08I love you.
00:38:08I love you.
00:38:08I love you.
00:38:08I love you.
00:38:15Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:20Alex.
00:38:21Alex.
00:38:21Alex.
00:38:21I 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 Lakin some time alone.
00:38:37Thank you, Jace.
00:38:38You're very welcome.
00:38:39Jace, don't.
00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:48But I wanna hang out with Alex.
00:38:49Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:56Works for me.
00:38:59I'll be right back.
00:39:10Hey.
00:39:14Good job, Ed.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:29She likes you, you know?
00:39:54She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:59I like her, too.
00:40:07So, are we gonna figure out what happened?
00:40:11Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:16Your job is not in danger.
00:40:17Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:26What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I...
00:40:28I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:31Not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:33I...
00:40:34But I also can't accept the fact that...
00:40:39Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:42I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:46I want you, Alex.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:55What if we separate church and state?
00:41:01At work, we're professional.
00:41:05But outside of work, we're...
00:41:07Unprofessional?
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
00:41:23I 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
00:41:35Malia, hurry, come on
00:41:39Come on, 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
00:42:24It's okay, Malia
00:42:25Alex, 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?
00:42:47Let me talk to her
00:42:48Hi, honey
00:42:53Are you okay?
00:42:54Hi
00:42:55Listen, uh...
00:42:57Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:42:59I'm going to be back tonight
00:43:00And 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
00:43:05I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this
00:43:12So much for that family time she went
00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening
00:43:17Okay
00:43:18Okay, bye
00:43:20Okay, so we'll get you fed
00:43:30I 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?
00:43:50Sort of
00:43:51Sometimes she leaves me with some of her friends for a few days
00:43:55So she can go on work trips
00:43:58Work trips
00:44:01Huh
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
00:44:10To be able to take care of themselves
00:44:12Shit!
00:44:14I mean, shoot!
00:44:16Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:36Malia
00:44:37I'm sorry
00:44:41I didn't mean to
00:44:43Better?
00:44:57Better?
00:45:00Good
00:45:00How about we order some pizza?
00:45:13Malia
00:45:30Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:40You can talk to me
00:45:41Believe me
00:45:43I understand
00:45:44What do you mean?
00:45:51It's from surgery
00:45:52I was born with a heart defect
00:45:55Just like you
00:45:56Really?
00:46:00I didn't know anyone was like me

00:47:43I antagonize
00:47:44The
00:47:47Fast
00:47:47The
00:47:49Fast
00:47:50Derek
00:47:5230
00:47:54�
00:47:55a
00:47:56carta
00:47:56where do you think you're going to find Malia I already had the driver pick her up and take
00:48:09her to school we're all alone what about work hmm time off for good behavior
00:48:21thank you again for taking care of her
00:48:35wasn't a problem
00:48:40apparently it is for her mother
00:48:44let me make it up to you
00:48:51how are you going to do that
00:48:56let me show you
00:49:04lately feels like I've been faking think there's a stranger here
00:49:10you're like the neighbors
00:49:29you know I think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:53so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:01not 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 these bills this scar my parents were incredible they 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
00:50:37my life normal and now they're gone car accident when I was a senior in high school
00:50:44I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then
00:50:48Alex
00:50:50sorry way too much information especially from a fuck buddy you don't need to know my sob story
00:50:56you know that we is our condition is congenital I know she told me yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:07look I've never told anybody this but
00:51:11Malia was more with her defect because Camilla she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out modeling gigs
00:51:24I only found out before it was too late
00:51:27my god it's terrible truth is she never really wanted to have a baby I did I was the one who wanted us to be happy family
00:51:40turns out she was just in it for a mail ticket
00:51:44I'm so sorry Lincoln
00:51:48the only reason she wants to get back together is for the money not for me and certainly not for her daughter
00:51:58she's always been irresponsible but this latest stunt abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:05have you thought about pursuing soul custody I want to but it's too risky and the courts usually side with the mother I 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
00:52:26Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips it's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met I think you could have a case here
00:52:36I don't know I don't want to put her through that I mean making her testify against her own mother I can't do that
00:52:44I can't do that I know you want what's best for Malia and sharing her with Camilla isn't it
00:52:51maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants and if that's money fine you have it
00:52:59Malia deserves people in her life who care about her
00:53:02you're right Malia deserves better
00:53:06I will talk to her this week
00:53:09thank you
00:53:18seems like I owe you again
00:53:24greedy
00:53:28I meant breakfast

00:54:09thank you again for everything
00:54:12I know this wasn't part of the job description
00:54:15and I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:20right
00:54:23not exactly
00:54:27he told you all of that?
00:54:32what are you a miracle worker?
00:54:35a saint?

00:54:56you work for the company
00:54:57you know that right?
00:54:58you don't understand
00:54:59your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant
00:55:02he wanted me to keep him away from Camilla
00:55:05by any means necessary
00:55:07he said

00:55:09fucking like rabbits
00:55:11co-workers with benefits? excuse me
00:55:15it just
00:55:17it seems wrong not to tell him
00:55:19why? because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it? seems like a win-win to me
00:55:22it won't feel like that if he finds out
00:55:24I'll tell him to help him get his shit together and get paid for it
00:55:27it seems like a win-win to me

00:56:14especially that one
00:56:15what do you mean by that one?
00:56:18Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in LA
00:56:21it was a work trip
00:56:22oh really?
00:56:33she'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
00:56:40I want sole custody

00:57:17in the break room earlier today
00:57:18what do you mean she's using me?
00:57:21the only reason why she's working for you
00:57:25is because your dad promised to pay her medical income
00:57:27It's because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me
00:57:32No, she wouldn't do that. That's not who she is if you don't believe me just ask your dad
00:57:48Is it true
00:57:50Lakin, what are you doing here? Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:57It was for your own good. Do not give me that father knows best routine
00:58:02This is a complete betrayal of my trust your personal issues were affecting not only the business, but our family
00:58:08That is absurd. This 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 close yourself off from any connection romantic or so what I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart
00:58:23That is bullshit. My love life is none of your business, but 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 thanks to you
00:58:53What are you doing here?
00:59:10We need to talk
00:59:12We are you won't 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 because you still love her how it was so fucking stupid
00:59:25Were you ever gonna tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:29God Alex I
00:59:32trusted you I I told you things that I've never even told my family and this whole time
00:59:38You were just in it for the money
00:59:40I
00:59:42That was before anything happened between us Lincoln. I couldn't say no
00:59:48That kind of money, you know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you and fucking me what that was just a way to ensure job security
00:59:55That's all I am to you just a transaction of course not
01:00:01How dare you why should I believe you?
01:00:06You know you you're just like her I
01:00:08I am not like Camilla like and I care about you you're fired in this thing between us
01:00:16That's over too
01:00:38Let's go
01:00:46Let's go
01:00:48I can't go
01:00:58Oh
01:00:58I'm sorry
01:01:00Rocky 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...
01:01:37All right, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:40Have you left your house yet?
01:01:42Well, I'm going to try and get my old job back,
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 Lincoln.
01:01:57I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:02What's wrong with me?
01:02:17Nothing.
01:02:19Absolutely nothing.
01:02:20I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:40Hey.
01:02:42Text me, okay?
01:02:44Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:46I promise.
01:02:48We will.
01:02:50I promise.
01:02:51I promise.
01:02:54Wait.
01:03:25Hey, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:52I used to work here.
01:03:53Hey, kid, come on, man.
01:03:55Open up.
01:04:01You 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.
01:04:13I heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:26Can'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.
01:04:33I 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.
01:04:47Her little deal with dad is mute and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ.
01:04:51Lincoln, I'm gay.
01:04:52You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:16Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:37Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:40But you're always flirting with her, Alex.
01:05:44I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:47She's a good person, Lincoln.
01:05:50She cares about you.
01:05:51A lot.
01:05:54She hated the deal.
01:05:56She 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.
01:06:17I'm good.
01:06:38Oh, my God.
01:07:08Oh, my God.
01:07:38Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:41So, in nine more years, then?
01:07:43Eight.
01:07:44You don't even know how old your daughter is?

01:14:23You 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.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:53It was Dad.
01:14:55You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode,
01:14:58so 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.
01:15:10You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:12Dad was good for it. It's done.
01:15:15I don't deserve it.
01:15:18What are you talking about?
01:15:20Look at me, Jace.
01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred. Why should I-
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:26You deserve love.
01:15:30It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:33So do I get out of my ear?
01:15:34Yeah.
01:15:35So I can't get out of my mind.

01:16:09sorry thank you but i've got it from here alex you're recovering from surgery
01:16:19let me at least help you inside
01:16:22malia asks about you all the time you know she misses you
01:16:52everyone misses you my dad jace
01:16:56and me
01:16:59it was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money i can see that now
01:17:08i've just i've spent my whole life thinking that i had to buy love
01:17:12and i've just been hurt so many times it's hard to comprehend that
01:17:16that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check
01:17:23what you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you
01:17:27do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden
01:17:31they 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 they would
01:17:39do it exactly the same
01:17:41that's not sacrifice
01:17:43that's love
01:17:45i've been thinking about it a lot about what it means to give without expecting anything in return
01:17:53i can't change the fact that i've been given more than most
01:17:57but what you've taught me
01:17:59what your parents have taught me
01:18:02is that
01:18:04supporting someone
01:18:07it's not about an obligation
01:18:08or to force an outcome
01:18:10it is simply because
01:18:13you love them
01:18:15miss livingston
01:18:18you are the most
01:18:21selfless
