00:07:51let's get started did you bring your notepad from the restaurant

00:08:22that'll be all for now i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:26that means you can go
00:08:41lakin i like lucifer
00:08:43this bark's worse than his bite trust me i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are
00:08:53alex lincoln's new assistant and uh it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional
00:08:59name calling i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:02alex 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 it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution
00:09:24centers are already slowing down operation times and shifting our operations to detroit
00:09:30might create bottlenecks we we just can't afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash
00:09:35while you evaluate i need solutions faster not more excuses people we're exploring alternatives
00:09:43nothing definitive yet
00:09:48um sorry to interrupt
00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail
00:09:58contracts to offset the overflow huh so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics uh
00:10:06no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but cleveland's
00:10:13underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure it wouldn't solve all of your
00:10:18problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely actually that could work
00:10:24work worth a shot i 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 not yet
00:10:41uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all

00:11:04right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my position with
00:11:09the board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job like a good leader isn't threatened
00:11:16by his employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control
00:11:22well the board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive
00:11:28and weak you have to keep alex what are you saying you fire her and the board will find another ceo

00:21:30So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight,
00:21:41and you lied to me.
00:21:45Your 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 name.
00:21:59I'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, Alex.
00:22:25I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:29I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:37I'll be right back.
00:22:45Look at you.
00:22:46You look stunning.
00:22:49Let's see the dress.
00:22:50Let'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?
00:22:58For you.
00:23:18Hey, bro.
00:23:20Is that for me?
00:23:20Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:22And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:27Date?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29Uh, my guest.
00:23:30You know what I mean.
00:23:31Yeah, sure.
00:23:31I know what you mean.
00:23:32I'll take that.
00:23:33I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:34It's just a dance.
00:23:48Do not be weird about this.
00:23:50Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:51Everyone else is dancing.
00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:54And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right.
00:24:14So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:18Jace?
00:24:21Of course not.
00:24:21That 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?
00:24:48Never 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.
00:25:02It'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.
00:25:22Right.
00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.
00:25:28It's completely innocent.
00:25:31They're barely touching.
00:25:37Lincoln.
00:25:40Dad.
00:25:41Well, 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?
00:25:56Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:00Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:07Miss 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.
00:26:34I like it.
00:26:35What are you doing here?
00:26:36I just thought I'd stop by.
00:26:38I thought you could use the moral support.
00:26:40Where's Malia?
00:26:42I got a babysitter.
00:26:43I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:51Who'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 bore.
00:27:07It's a party.
00:27:09No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:10Am I right?
00:27:11Let'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?
00:27:28What 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, 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 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.
00:28:33Relax, Lincoln.
00:28:34So tense.
00:28:36I 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?
00:28:46Have 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, 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.
00:29:40We 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.
00:29:48Right now.
00:29:48Not having any fun?
00:30:13Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:28It'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.
00:30:38It's like 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.
00:30:59Okay.
00:30:59Arturo.
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.
00:31:28Interrupt.
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.
00:31:58I 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.
00:32:47What do you care?
00:32:48I don't care.
00:32:49Leave us as a mouth away tonight.
00:32:51We both love you.
00:32:53I wanna go.
00:32:55I wanna be with you.
00:32:57I wanna be with you.
00:32:57We can't let this slip away.
00:32:59You know I wanna give a stake.
00:33:01I wanna be with you.
00:33:03I wanna be with you.
00:33:05I'll run away.
00:33:06We can't let this go too waste.
00:33:08I don't want to hold it all out.
00:33:11I'll lose.
00:33:12Don't let this go too waste.
00:33:14I'm sorry.
00:33:44You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no.
00:33:52Right. No.
00:33:55Of course not.
00:33:57Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:14Morning.
00:34:21Morning.
00:34:30I 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.
00:34:37Laken 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?
00:34:57That bitch is a gold digger.
00:35:00I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.
00:35:03Took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did,
00:35:05Oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus.
00:35:12Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:17I'm sick.
00:35:22Look, 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.
00:35:33Can'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.
00:36:03You 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.
00:36:33Hehehe.
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?
00:37:59That was delicious.
00:38:00All right.
00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:07Mr. Blankford.
00:38:08I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:20I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:20Alex.
00:38:21I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:24Really?
00:38:24It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:29You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.
00:38:37Thank you, Jace.
00:38:38You're very welcome.
00:38:39Jace, don't...
00:38:39Bye.
00:38:41Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:47But I wanna hang out with Alex.
00:38:49Please, Daddy.
00:38:51Please.
00:38:51Please.
00:38:51Thanks.
00:38:52Works for me.
00:38:56I'll be right back.
00:39:10Hey.
00:39:11Come on.
00:39:12Come on.
00:39:13Come on.
00:39:14Come on.
00:39:15Come on.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:17Come on.
00:39:18Come on.
00:39:19Come on.
00:39:20Come on.
00:39:21Come on.
00:39:23I don't know.
00:39:53She 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 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.
00:40:20OK, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:23What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant,
00:40:31not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:35But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night
00:40:39was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:42I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:45I want you, Alex.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:55What 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 sleepwalking through
00:41:14All of my problems and all
00:41:16I can't make it through
00:41:20Every night is the same
00:41:22I keep running fast
00:41:24Left and right
00:41:25Wondering where my head's gone now
00:41:28I'm sleepwalking through
00:41:32All of my problems and all
00:41:34Malia, hurry. Come on.
00:41:39Go. Come on.
00:41:41Let'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.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:53But it turns out
00:41:54I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:57Going to LA.
00:41:59Business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:01Oh, uh...
00:42:03I'm not really here to be child care.
00:42:05I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:09Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:13I'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.
00:42:31Alex, 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...
00:42:56Mommy 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.
00:43:05I love you.
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.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:21Bye.
00:43:22Bye.
00:43:22Bye.
00:43:23Bye.
00:43:28Okay, so we'll get you fed, I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets
00:43:32back, send it to us rice.
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:46Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of.
00:43:51Uh, sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on
00:43:56work 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.
00:44:12Shit, I mean, shoot!
00:44:13Shit!
00:44:14I mean, shoot!
00:44:31Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:35Malia.
00:44:37I'm sorry.
00:44:40I didn't mean to.
00:44:42I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:44:58That's not good.
00:45:02I'll tell him.
00:45:03Good.
00:45:04How about 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 what do you mean it's from surgery I was

00:49:40let's run away
00:49:41let's run away from all the pain
00:49:43let's run away from all the pain
00:49:50you know I think more people should try coworkers with benefits
00:49:55so you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:02Not really.
00:50:12Sorry, I, um, I was just curious.
00:50:17Congenital heart defect.
00:50:19You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:20It's too much.
00:50:21Too much?
00:50:23This condition, these bills, this scar.
00:50:27My parents were incredible.
00:50:30They gave up everything for me.
00:50:32They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:39And now they're gone.
00:50:41Car accident.
00:50:42I was a senior in high school.
00:50:45I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:50Alex.
00:50:50Sorry, way too much information.
00:50:54Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:55You don't need to know my sob story.
00:50:56You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:51:03I know.
00:51:04She told me.
00:51:06Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:07Look, I've never told anybody this, but Malia was more with her defect because Camilla, she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out on modeling gigs.
00:51:24I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:28Oh my god.
00:51:30It's terrible.
00:51:31Truth is, she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:36I did.
00:51:37I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:42Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:47I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:50The only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.
00:51:55Not for me, and certainly not for her daughter.
00:51:57You know, she's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt, abandoning her daughter like that, it's...
00:52:06Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:10I want to, but it's too risky.
00:52:13The courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:14I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:17They don't always...
00:52:21Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:25What did she say to you?
00:52:26Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips.
00:52:31It's dangerous, and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met.
00:52:35I think you could have a case here.
00:52:36I don't know.
00:52:38I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:40I mean, making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:43I can't do that.
00:52:45I know you want what's best for Malia.
00:52:48And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:52Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:54And if that's money, fine.
00:52:57You have it.
00:52:59Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.
00:53:02You're right.
00:53:04Malia deserves better.
00:53:07I will talk to her this week.
00:53:22Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:26Greedy?
00:53:28I meant breakfast.
00:53:31You can cook?
00:53:32Yes, I can.
00:53:35For the right company.
00:53:45Ta-da!
00:53:46I should have known someone near Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:53:59Shit.
00:54:00Fuck.
00:54:00I'm sorry.
00:54:01I didn't mean to.
00:54:03It's okay.
00:54:04Really, it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:54:11Thank you again for everything.
00:54:12I 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.
00:54:24Right.
00:54:25Not exactly.
00:54:32He told you all of that?
00:54:33What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:35A saint?
00:54:37Hardly.
00:54:39Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:46Cross my inner hope to die.
00:54:50Your dad is paying me to do this, to help Lincoln.
00:54:56That's what a job is.
00:54:57You work for the company.
00:54:58You know that, right?
00:54:59You don't understand.
00:55:00Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck
00:55:05it out as Lincoln's assistant.
00:55:07He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:55:10By any means necessary, he said.
00:55:13Now that Lincoln and I are...
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits.
00:55:18Coworkers with benefits?
00:55:19Excuse me?
00:55:21It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:23Why?
00:55:25Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:28Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:30I won't feel like that if he finds out.
00:55:32He'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:33Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:37Chase, I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:39I think...
00:55:41I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:47So more than co-workers with benefits?
00:55:49Thanks for meeting me.
00:56:00I wanted to talk to you about...
00:56:02Your new girlfriend?
00:56:04What?
00:56:05I know all about your little sleepover.
00:56:08You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's
00:56:12life.
00:56:13Especially that one.
00:56:15What do you mean by that one?
00:56:16Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in L.A.
00:56:21It was a work trip.
00:56:22Oh, really?
00:56:32She's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been.
00:56:36Which is actually why I'm here.
00:56:39Enough is enough.
00:56:41I want sole custody.
00:56:43This is it?
00:56:44You want to break up our family for that lying little...
00:56:49You don't want a family.
00:56:50You just want my money.
00:56:52I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:53You think I want money?
00:56:56How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:58What do you mean?
00:57:02I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:06But that girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:15I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:21What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:22The only reason why she's working for you...
00:57:27...is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.
00:57:33No, she wouldn't do that.
00:57:34That's not who she is.
00:57:36If you don't believe me...
00:57:37...just ask your dad.
00:57:39Is it true?
00:57:50Lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:52Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:58It was for your own good.
00:57:59Do not give me that father knows best routine.
00:58:02This is a complete betrayal of my trust.
00:58:04Your personal issues were affecting not only the business, but our family.
00:58:08That is absurd.
00:58:09This has nothing to do with the company.
00:58:11Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader.
00:58:17As it does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:21So what, I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?
00:58:24That is bullshit.
00:58:25My love life is none of your business.
00:58:28But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:58:31Alex is a smart girl with a good heart.
00:58:35She cares about Malia.
00:58:37And she challenges you.
00:58:40She's fired.
00:58:41Thanks to you.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:46Thanks to you.
00:59:00What are you doing here?
00:59:10We need to talk.
00:59:13We are?
00:59:14You want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:19Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:21Because you still love her?
00:59:23God, I'm so fucking stupid.
00:59:24Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:29God, Alex, I...
00:59:31I trusted you.
00:59:32I...
00:59:33I told you things that I've never even told my family.
00:59:36And this whole time, you...
00:59:38You were just in it for the money.
00:59:41I...
00:59:41That was before anything happened between us.
00:59:45Lakin, I couldn't say no.
00:59:47That kind of money.
00:59:49You know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you.
00:59:52And fucking me, what?
00:59:52That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:55That's all I am to you.
00:59:57Just a transaction?
00:59:58Of course not.
00:59:59Lakin, how dare you?
01:00:03Why should I believe you?
01:00:06You know, you're just like her.
01:00:09I am not like Camilla.
01:00:11Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:13You're fired.
01:00:14And this thing between us, that's over too.
01:00:17Let's go.
01:00:47Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:13I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:15Okay.
01:01:17You're gonna let me in or what?
01:01:24You are out of your mind.
01:01:27Showing up here is insane.
01:01:28Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:30I don't.
01:01:32I've changed.
01:01:33I've heard that before.
01:01:35God, it turns me on when you act like...
01:01:37Alright, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:40Have you left your house yet?
01:01:42Well, I'm gonna try and get my old job back, so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same days a lot.
01:01:51You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:53I can't waste any more time on Lakin.
01:01:57I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:02What's wrong with me?
01:02:16Nothing.
01:02:18Absolutely nothing.
01:02:20I'm sorry.
01:02:29I just...
01:02:30I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:34Hey.
01:02:42Text me, okay?
01:02:43Just cause we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:48We will.
01:02:50I promise.
01:02:51Let's go.
01:03:21Hey, I'd like to apply to you.
01:03:51I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:52I used to work here.
01:03:53Hey, kid.
01:03:54Come on, man.
01:03:55Open up.
01:03:56You really need to give me a key.
01:04:07You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah.
01:04:11Where are your glasses?
01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:17I heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:24Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:28We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:31I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:36I don't.
01:04:37Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:43What do you care?
01:04:45She's all yours now.
01:04:46Her little deal with dad is mute and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ.
01:04:51Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:55Yeah.
01:04:57You're always so wrapped up in your own shit you never thought to ask your brother about
01:05:01his own life.
01:05:03I'm sorry.
01:05:04Really.
01:05:05I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:18Are 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.
01:05:43I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:47She'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.
01:05:57She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:02And why should I?
01:06:04Cause not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:10Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:12Call her.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:42Call her.
01:06:48No problem.
01:06:51Call her.
01:06:52Call her.
01:06:54Call her.
01:07:01Call her.
01:07:03Call her.
01:07:07Call her.
01:07:08Fuck 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.
01:07:44You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:05Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:06You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:13She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:15I can't.
01:08:16I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:18Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:19Good fucking riddance.
01:08:33I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:35It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:37I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?
01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:48Congrats, bro.
01:08:54Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11Yeah.
01:09:13And now Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:19On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:23You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:25What else could you want?
01:09:26Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody.
01:09:32She blocked my number.
01:09:34And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:39It would make me look insane.
01:09:41Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:46She 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, but 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.
01:10:18Hi.
01:10:19Ready to order?
01:10:20I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:29Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:34What are you doing here?
01:10:37Jace brought me.
01:10:38To celebrate.
01:10:41I won full custody.
01:10:44Congratulations.
01:10:45Yeah, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:49Alex, 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.
01:10:59Someone call 911.
01:11:13Help!
01:11:14It's okay.
01:11:15Help!
01:11:15Someone call 911!
01:11:16Help!
01:11:16It's okay.
01:11:18Help! It's okay.
01:11:37Any update?
01:11:44There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but
01:11:48the doctor said that she's in critical condition,
01:11:51that they're gonna operate tomorrow,
01:11:55and that her chances are 50-50.
01:11:57Jesus.
01:11:59Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:04The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:08And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either.
01:12:10I should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lincoln.
01:12:15And now Alex could... she could...
01:12:17Hey, stop. Don't talk like that.
01:12:19Don't talk like that.
01:12:41Hey, Lincoln.
01:12:43Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:46Jesus Christ.
01:12:48I was so worried, I thought...
01:12:52I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:56Thank you. I'm fine.
01:13:00You should leave.
01:13:02What? What are you talking about?
01:13:04Lincoln, why are you here?
01:13:05I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:08Because you feel guilty.
01:13:11This is what you do.
01:13:12You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:15No.
01:13:17It's not like that.
01:13:18I don't want to be your charity case, Lincoln.
01:13:21I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:25You are not a burden.
01:13:28I don't think that.
01:13:30I'd like you to go.
01:13:31I'd like you to go.
01:14:01Tomorrow's time.
01:14:02You don't want to feel guilty.
01:14:03You don't want to feel guilty.
01:14:04You don't want to feel guilty.
01:14:05Okay.
01:14:06Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:08Good.
01:14:09Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:11Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:14Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:20It's good to see you awake.
01:14:22I didn't see you awake.
01:14:24You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:30I got you something.
01:14:45This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:48Where 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 Aiken watches 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, hey. Alex.
01:15:26You deserve love.
01:15:30It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:32Jesus.
01:15:33Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:34Fuck.
01:15:35I'm sorry. I just-
01:15:37I thought you might need some help.
01:15:38Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:15:39I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:41Fuck.
01:15:42I'm sorry. I just-
01:15:44I thought you might need some help.
01:15:46Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:15:47Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:15:48Sorry.
01:15:49Thank you, buddy.
01:15:50I'm sorry.
01:15:51Thank you, buddy.
01:15:52I'm sorry.
01:15:53I'm sorry.
01:15:54I'm sorry.
01:15:55I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:56Fuck.
01:15:57I'm sorry. I just-
01:15:58I thought you might need some help.
01:15:59Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:00Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:01I'm sorry.
01:16:02I just-
01:16:03I thought you might need some help.
01:16:05Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:07Well, 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.
01:16:30Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:49She misses you.
01:16:52Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:00It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:07I can see that now.
01:17:09I've just-
01:17:10I'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.
01:17:23What you told me about your parents,
01:17:25and how they sacrificed everything for you,
01:17:28do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:32They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:35Hey, 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.
01:17:48About 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.
01:17:57But 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.
01:18:12It is simply because you love them.
01:18:15Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:30I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:36And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it? How?
01:18:44Is that...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:02I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:06I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:14Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:20Please.
01:19:25I love you too.
01:19:44What are you doing next week?
01:19:56I want to take you to a party.
01:20:00Another 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.
01:20:14Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:21Happy birthday to you.
01:20:33What did you wish for?
01:20:35A new mommy.
01:20:37Mommy.
01:20:40One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:45I got you something.
01:20:47It might not be the biggest present you get, but...
01:20:50I think you'll like it.
01:20:52I have one too.
01:20:56Just like you.
01:21:07We are amazing.
01:21:10A new mommy.
01:21:11I'm here.
01:21:12You're so happy.
01:21:14And I can't wait.
01:21:16I'm here.
01:21:17I am here.
01:21:19I'm here.
01:21:21I am.
01:21:23I am here.
01:21:24I am.
01:21:25I am here.
01:21:27I am here.
01:21:29I am here.
01:21:30I am here.
01:21:32I am here.
01:21:33You're so happy.
01:21:34I am here.
