00:00:00Assistant position.
00:00:02I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:00:04Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:00:07What are you doing here?
00:00:09I work here.
00:00:10Must 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.
00:00:18You fire her and the ward will find another CEO.
00:00:21I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:00:24I need you to stay.
00:00:25It's just a dance.
00:00:26Do not be weird about this.
00:00:28And besides, it's not like we're a jacket to each other, right?
00:00:32Right.
00:00:39I 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.
00:00:51She likes you, you know?
00:00:52She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:00:55That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:00:58The only reason why she's working for you
00:01:00is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills
00:01:02if she kept you away from me.
00:01:04I can't keep lying to him.
00:01:05I think I'm falling for him.
00:01:07What's the new day could look for,
00:01:08so I'd go for help?

00:07:51let's get started did you bring your notepad from the restaurant
00:08:01coffee black every day within five minutes of my arrival lunch will be at 1 pm sharp no fast food

00:08:26that means you can go
00:08:41lakin like lucifer
00:08:44this bark's worse than his bite trust me
00:08:49i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are alex lincoln's new assistant and uh it would be
00:08:57great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling
00:09:01i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:03alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea you're gonna need that coming
00:09:16we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure
00:09:20it's costing us labor 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 so what
00:09:34we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate i need solutions faster not more excuses people
00:09:41we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:48um sorry to interrupt
00:09:50but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail
00:09:58contracts 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 expense report while i could be off but
00:10:13cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure
00:10:16it wouldn't solve all your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down
00:10:21entirely actually that could work worth a shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look
00:10:29at it and sort out the details is there anything else i should know about my business not yet
00:10:36uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all
00:10:50alex has to go absolutely not she stays look dad i understand that i've been through an assistant or two
00:10:58seven this year this girl is overstepping she's jumping on executive leadership calls
00:11:04yes she was right but she is undermining me in front of my team
00:11:08how is that supposed to strengthen my position with the board so you want to fire her for being
00:11:12too good at her job lincoln a good leader isn't threatened by his employees threatened i am not
00:11:19threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control well the board already thinks you've
00:11:24lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak
00:11:29you have to keep alex what are you saying you fire her and the board will find another ceo
00:11:59hey melia right how are you feeling better thank you for helping me the other day of course you
00:12:10know if you ever start to feel like that you should sit down and slow your heart rate the hell are you

00:28:25miss this.
00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Facts, Lakin.
00:28:35So tense.
00:28:37I could fix that, you know.
00:28:39What do you want,
00:28:41hmm? And don't give me some
00:28:42bullshit about missing me.
00:28:44I know you. You want money,
00:28:46don't you?
00:28:48Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:52Malia's
00:28:53getting older.
00:28:53It's only getting harder
00:28:55to take care of her, especially with her situation.
00:28:59We should
00:28:59be a family.
00:29:01We tried and failed
00:29:03miserably. I can't be with you,
00:29:06Camilla. Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla, don't.
00:29:11Kiss me. If you don't feel
00:29:13anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:20Stop. Jesus.
00:29:23Don't tell me you didn't
00:29:25enjoy that.
00:29:28Lakin, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me.
00:29:33You don't want me
00:29:33to make a scene, do you?
00:29:35Because you know I will.
00:29:38Let me make something
00:29:39very clear to you.
00:29:41We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:29:44You hear me?
00:29:44Ever.
00:29:46Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:29:49Not 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
00:30:32are drinking me under the table.
00:30:35And Agnes,
00:30:36her old roommate,
00:30:37slept with the bartender.
00:30:40So it's last call, right?
00:30:42I go up to the bar
00:30:42looking for this guy.
00:30:43Aggie's dragging him
00:30:44to the bathroom.
00:30:45Oh, my God!
00:30:46Stop!
00:30:49Something funny?
00:30:54Time to go.
00:30:59It's okay.
00:31:07Arturo.
00:31:09Took Miss Livingston home.
00:31:10You're being incredibly rude.
00:31:12You know that?
00:31:13You're getting wasted
00:31:13at a company party.
00:31:15It's totally inappropriate.
00:31:18Don't you inappropriate me.
00:31:19Your girlfriend was treating you
00:31:20like a stripper pole.
00:31:21You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:22Okay, first of all,
00:31:24she's my ex.
00:31:25And second of all,
00:31:26I can do whatever I want.
00:31:27I'm a CEO.
00:31:29Interrupt.
00:31:30Right.
00:31:31Is that why you're
00:31:32cozying up to my dad?
00:31:34What, my title
00:31:35not good enough for you?
00:31:36Charming your way
00:31:36up the corporate ladder?
00:31:38CEO this week,
00:31:39chairman the next.
00:31:40Meanwhile,
00:31:41you're wasted
00:31:41hanging all over Jace.
00:31:43What do you care anyway?
00:31:44I thought you
00:31:44weren't attracted to me.
00:31:46I'm not.
00:31:48Oh yeah?
00:31:50Yeah.
00:31:51Liar.
00:31:52I 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.
00:32:32Now get the hell over here.
00:32:33Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:32:47Yeah.
00:32:51No.
00:32:53I don't want it.
00:32:56You miss me.
00:33:04Nope.
00:33:07Bye.
00:33:09Bye.
00:33:10Bye.
00:33:11Bye.
00:33:12Bye.
00:33:12Bye.
00:33:15No, no, no.
00:33:45You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no.
00:33:53Right. No.
00:33:55Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:15Morning.
00:34:22Morning.
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?
00:34:40Me. Dad.
00:34:41But I've seen how he is with Malia, and...
00:34:44He's a soft spot.
00:34:47Laken'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,
00:35:06ooh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus.
00:35:13Maybe 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.
00:35:26How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:28Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details.
00:35:31Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:33Great.
00:35:47Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:56Dad insisted.
00:35:57Something about never getting to see Malia these days.
00:36:01I wanted to have the gala postmortem at the office.
00:36:04You know, like, normal business partners and not...
00:36:06Family members.
00:36:08Exactly.
00:36:13Did you, uh, give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:17Grandpa, 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.
00:36:28Has anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:31Hmm.
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:36Are we expecting company?
00:36:37Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:55Alex?
00:36:57Lincoln?
00:36:58You made it.
00:36:58Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:25Me neither.
00:37:26It's okay.
00:37:37I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:40My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:44He's right.
00:37:45It is.
00:37:47Look on the bright side.
00:37:48At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:59That was delicious.
00:38:01All right.
00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:08A word.
00:38:08Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:21Alex, I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:25Really?
00:38:25It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:29Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:30You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:34I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.
00:38:37Thank you, Jace.
00:38:38You're very welcome.
00:38:39Jace, don't...
00:38:40Bye.
00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:48But I wanna hang out with Alex.
00:38:50Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:51Please.
00:38:52I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:14Come on.
00:39:14I think you're bad.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:22I think you're bad.
00:39:52She likes you, you know?
00:39:56She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:40:00I 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.
00:40:34But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:43I 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 like...
00:41:11I'm asleep walking through
00:41:14All of my problems and no
00:41:17I 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
00:41:33All of my problems and no
00:41:35Let's go, Leah. Come on.
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster!
00:41:47Hey, uh...
00:41:49Lincoln'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.
00:41:58Going to LA.
00:41:59Business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:02Oh, uh...
00:42:03I'm not really here to be child care.
00:42:06I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:10Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:20Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:23Hey, hey.
00:42:24It's okay, Malia.
00:42:25Okay.
00:42:32Alex, what's going on?
00:42:40Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:41Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:44She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:46What?
00:42:47Let me talk to her.
00:42:52Hi, 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, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:02Everything is fine.
00:43:04I love you.
00:43:05I 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 went.
00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Okay, so we'll get you fed, I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad
00:43:33gets back, is that too much rice?
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:41Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of.
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work
00:43:58trips.
00:44:00Work trips.
00:44:02Huh.
00:44:03Does your dad know about this?
00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:07She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit!
00:44:15I mean, shoot!
00:44:34Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:42I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:05How will we order some pizza?
00:45:30Malia?
00:45:30Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:40You can talk to me.
00:45:42Believe me.
00:45:43I understand.
00:45:47What do you mean?
00:45:51It's from surgery.
00:45:53I was born with a heart defect.
00:45:56Just like you.
00:45:56Really?
00:45:57Really?
00:46:00I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:02I was born with a heart defect.
00:46:23Who is it?
00:46:24It's me.
00:46:26It's me.
00:46:26lincoln hi hi uh can i see malia

00:47:19i can sleep on the couch no you stay too
00:47:26it's all right with me
00:47:56where do you think you're going to find malia i already had the driver pick her up and take her to school
00:48:10we're all alone what about work
00:48:18hmm time off for good behavior
00:48:30thank you again for taking care of her
00:48:39wasn't a problem
00:48:43apparently it is for her mother
00:48:44let me make it up to you
00:48:55how are you going to do that
00:48:58i don't know if i can take it must be a monster in my life let me show you
00:49:18you're like the neighbors
00:49:31somewhere away from all these nightmares where nobody can find me
00:49:37you know i think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:54so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:08not really
00:50:12sorry i um i was just curious
00:50:15congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much too much
00:50:24this condition these bills this scar my parents were incredible they gave up everything for me
00:50:32they drained their savings and what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try
00:50:37and make my life normal and now they're gone
00:50:41car accident when i was a senior in high school i begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then
00:50:50alex sorry way too much information especially from a buddy you don't need to know my sob story
00:51:01you know that malia's heart condition is congenital i know she told me
00:51:06yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:11look i've never told anybody this but
00:51:15malia was more with her defect because camilla
00:51:19she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out modeling gigs
00:51:26i only found out before it was too late oh my god
00:51:29it's terrible truth is she never really wanted to have a baby i did i was the one who wanted us to
00:51:40be a happy family turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket
00:51:44i'm so sorry lincoln
00:51:48and the only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:53is for the money not for me and certainly not for her daughter
00:51:59you know she's always been irresponsible but this latest stunt abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:05have you thought about pursuing soul custody i want to but it's too risky and the courts usually
00:52:14side with the mother i i can't risk losing my daughter they don't always
00:52:19well you told me this wasn't the first time camilla's done something like this
00:52:25what did she say to you
00:52:28camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips
00:52:31it's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met
00:52:34i think you could have a case here i don't know i don't want to put her through that i mean
00:52:41making her testify against her own mother i can't do that i know you want what's best for malia
00:52:48and sharing her with camilla isn't it maybe you should just give camilla what she really wants
00:52:55and if that's money fine you have it malia deserves people in her life who care about her you're right
00:53:04malia deserves better i will talk to her this week
00:53:17thank you
00:53:22seems like i owe you again
00:53:27greedy i meant breakfast
00:53:30you can cook yes i can for the right company
00:53:46tada
00:53:46i should have known someone named sugar would have such a sweet tooth
00:54:00shit fuck i'm sorry i didn't mean to
00:54:04it's okay really it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again
00:54:09thank you again for everything i know this wasn't part of the job description
00:54:16and i'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:24great not exactly
00:54:27he told you all of that what are you a miracle worker a saint hardly
00:54:40look if i tell you something you promise not to say anything to anyone
00:54:46cross my inner hope to die
00:54:47your dad is paying me to do this to help lakin
00:54:56that's what a job is you work for the company you know that right you don't understand your dad
00:55:01offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if i stuck it out as lakin's
00:55:06assistant he wanted me to keep him away from camilla by any means necessary he said
00:55:12that now that lakin and i are freaking like rabbits co-workers with benefits excuse me
00:55:21it just it seems wrong not to tell him
00:55:25why because you're helping him get his together and getting paid for it seems like a win-win to me
00:55:30i won't feel like that if he finds out i'll think i'm just using him well
00:55:35maybe he doesn't have to find out jace i can't keep lying to him i think
00:55:42i think i'm falling for him
00:55:48so more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:58thanks for meeting me i wanted to talk to you about your new girlfriend
00:56:04what i know all about your little sleepover
00:56:08you know i'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life
00:56:14especially that one what do you mean by that one
00:56:18alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in la it was a work trip oh really
00:56:23she's already proven to be way better at taking care of malia than you've ever been which is actually why i'm here
00:56:39enough is enough
00:56:40i want sole custody
00:56:44this is it
00:56:46you want to break up our family for that lying you don't want a family you just want my money
00:56:52i see right through you camilla you think i want money
00:56:56how much do you know about your little assistant what do you mean
00:56:59i hate to be the one to tell you this but that girl is using you lincoln
00:57:15i overheard jason her laughing about it in the break room earlier today
00:57:21what do you mean she's using me
00:57:23the only reason why she's working for you is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills
00:57:29if she kept you away from me
00:57:33no she wouldn't do that that's not who she is
00:57:36if you don't believe me just ask your dad
00:57:39is it true
00:57:50lincoln what are you doing here did you hire alex in order to keep tabs on me
00:57:58it 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
00:58:07but our family that 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
00:58:16leader as it does the way you close yourself off from any connection romantic or so what i i
00:58:22can't be ceo if i don't open my heart that is bullshit my love life is none of your business
00:58:28but the well-being of my granddaughter still is
00:58:31is a smart girl with a good heart she cares about malia and she challenges you she's fired thanks to you
00:58:51what are you doing here
00:59:10we need to talk we are you want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're
00:59:16getting back together is that why you haven't gotten custody of malia because you still love
00:59:23her god i'm so stupid were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad
00:59:30god alex i i trusted you i i told you things that i've never even told my family
00:59:37and this whole time you were just in it for the money
00:59:40i that was before anything happened between us leaking i couldn't say no that kind of money
00:59:49you know my situation but i never meant to hurt you and fucking me what that was just a way to
00:59:53ensure job security that's all i am to you just a transaction of course not

01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:14I heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:26Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:29We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:32I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:34I don't.
01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:44What 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, Lincoln, 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.
01:05:02I'm sorry.
01:05:07I'm sorry.
01:05:10Really.
01:05:13I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:16Are you good?
01:05:23I'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.
01:05:46She'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.
01:06:03And why should I?
01:06:05Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:11Look, it's not too late to make it right.

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.
01:07:44What? You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:06Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:12You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:14She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:15I can't. I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:18Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:30Good fucking riddance.
01:08:33I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:34It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:38I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?
01:08:43If you gentlemen will excuse me,
01:08:45I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:54Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:10Ding 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.
01:09:26What else could you want?
01:09:26Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody.
01:09:32She blocked my number.
01:09:35And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:40That would make me look insane.
01:09:42Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:45She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:49And I don't blame her.
01:09:51Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back,
01:09:53but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:59She's working here again?
01:10:02Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:04Go get her.
01:10:15Hi.
01:10:20Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:35What are you doing here?
01:10:37Jace brought me.
01:10:39To celebrate.
01:10:41I want full custody.
01:10:44Congratulations.
01:10:44Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:50Uh.
01:10:50Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.
01:10:54I made a huge mistake.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:57I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:05Okay.

01:14:12morning sleepy head
01:14:17It's good to see you awake, you had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:29I got you something.
01:14:45This 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 Mulyo while they can watch us over you here.
01:15:01Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:04Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:07He shouldn't have.
01:15:09You made a deal, Alex. Dad was good for it. It's done.
01:15:15I don't deserve it.
01:15:17What are you talking about?
01:15:19Look at me, Jace. I'm literally fucking scarred. Why should I?
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:25You deserve love.
01:15:27It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:33I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:35Fuck. I'm sorry. I just...
01:15:37I thought you might need some help.
01:15:51Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:15:53Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:15:55Sorry.
01:15:57Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:15:59Alex, you're recovering from surgery.
01:16:01Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:03Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:05Hey, come on.
01:16:07Thanks, Alex.
01:16:08I'm sorry.
01:16:09I don't know.
01:16:10What's the answer?
01:16:11I don't know, maybe.
01:16:12Hey.
01:16:13What's the answer?
01:16:14It's about time, I know.
01:16:15Come on...
01:16:16I know.
01:16:17You're able to get out of here.
01:16:18Are you kidding?
01:16:19Are you kidding me?
01:16:20Well, I'm sorry.
01:16:21No.
01:16:22I don't believe him.
01:16:23I don't believe you.
01:16:24I don't believe me.
01:16:26Malia asks about you all the time.
01:16:51She misses you.
01:16:53Everyone misses you.
01:16:55My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:04It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:07I can see that now.
01:17:08I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love, and I've just been hurt so many
01:17:15times.
01:17:16It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:23What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you, 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,
01:17:39they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:41That's not sacrifice.
01:17:44That's love.
01:17:46I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:49About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:54I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:59But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me, is that supporting someone is
01:18:07not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:11It is simply because you love them.
01:18:18Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong, beautiful woman that I have ever met
01:18:29in my entire life.
01:18:31I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:34And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it?
01:18:43How?
01:18:44Is that...?
01:18:45Scars.
01:18:46Just like yours.
01:18:47Are those tattoos?
01:18:50I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:05I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:13Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:20Please.
01:19:22I love you, too.
01:19:27I love you.
01:19:47I love you.
01:19:52I love you.
