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 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
00:01:01if she kept you away from me.
00:01:03I can't keep lying to him.
00:01:05I think I'm falling for him.
00:01:06A thing is, I'm falling for her to the most part.
00:01:11Right?
00:01:12Yeah?
00:01:13Yes.
00:01:13I'm following up with New York about next month, but, uh, how do you spell rapport?
00:01:42R-A-P-P-O-R-T comes from the French rapporteur, bring back, as in je rapporteur ses plats à la cousine, and bringing these dishes back to the kitchen.
00:01:54Well, you can bring that little attitude of yours back there as well.
00:01:58I didn't realize they taught French at waitress school.
00:02:02I went to UC Berkeley. Heard of it?
00:02:05That's where you went.
00:02:10I'll be right back, gentlemen.
00:02:12That's R-A-P-P-O-R-T.
00:02:17Yeah, I got it.
00:02:19Here comes the smart mouth again.
00:02:21You'd think a hospitality major would be a little bit more hospitable.
00:02:26For your information, I studied business. Just graduated.
00:02:29Congrats on the degree. I can see things are really working out for you here.
00:02:33At least I know how to spell.
00:02:34Excuse me, I ordered this steak medium rare, and it is medium.
00:02:42I'll be with you in just a moment.
00:02:43I think I've waited long enough.
00:02:44She's busy right now. She'll be with you when she's done here.
00:02:47I can speak for myself. Thank you.
00:02:48Daddy.
00:02:52One second, sweetheart.
00:02:54You sure about that?
00:02:56Seems like you got a little bit too much on your plate here.
00:02:58Malia, oh my god. Sweetheart.
00:03:07Sweetheart, hey. Dad, where are our pills?
00:03:08Here.
00:03:08Hey, come here.
00:03:09Lay her down.
00:03:11I got you. Daddy's here. Hey, Malia.
00:03:13We need to elevate her legs and increase blood flow to the brain.
00:03:16It's okay.
00:03:16Give her some room to breathe.
00:03:17She's my daughter. I know what's best for her.
00:03:19Clearly not, or you wouldn't be raising her voice right now.
00:03:22Now elevate her legs.
00:03:23I'm calling 911.
00:03:24Malia.
00:03:25Daddy.
00:03:27Honey, hey. Okay, sit up.
00:03:30Here. It's okay.
00:03:32Take this.
00:03:36Little sips, okay, honey?
00:03:37We're good. Thanks.
00:03:42Honey, you think you can stand up?
00:03:44Slow. Nice and slow.
00:03:46I got you.
00:03:47Look at me.
00:03:49You okay?
00:03:49I am taking you to see Dr. Schaffer right now to get you checked out.
00:03:52No, I'm fine.
00:03:53No butts. Okay?
00:03:55Come on.
00:03:56Dad, can you take care of the bill?
00:03:58No.
00:04:09Please excuse my son.
00:04:11What he meant was, thank you.
00:04:14Alex.
00:04:15And it's all right.
00:04:17It was a stressful situation.
00:04:18Yeah, how do you know how to handle that?
00:04:22Sometimes I faint when I get stressed out.
00:04:25Heart defect.
00:04:26I was born with it.
00:04:27Learned how to take care of myself over the years.
00:04:29Well, you shouldn't be working as a waitress with a condition like that.
00:04:32You know, running around all day.
00:04:34Student loans and a looming surgery I can't even begin to afford don't just pay for themselves.
00:04:40Oh, my God.
00:04:47You know, there's an opening at my office.
00:04:50Less footwork.
00:04:51Better pay.
00:04:52Why don't you come and see me?
00:04:55Monday morning, all right?
00:04:56We'll have a chat.
00:04:589 a.m.
00:04:59And don't be late.
00:05:12Yeah, absolutely.
00:05:13I'm getting in the elevator.
00:05:14Let me call you right back.
00:05:15Okay.
00:05:26You.
00:05:27What are you doing here?
00:05:30I work here.
00:05:32I didn't realize the cafeteria was hiring.
00:05:35Mr. Blainford said he had a job for me.
00:05:38Must be a pity hire.
00:05:39Better than Daddy buying my position for me.
00:05:43You know, you're a lot more charming in an apron, waitress.
00:05:50Your floor, by the way.
00:05:57You know what to do.
00:06:06Yeah.
00:06:07Well.
00:06:09I gotta go now.
00:06:11All right.
00:06:14Hello again, Alex.
00:06:16So I'll cut right to it.
00:06:17I'd like to offer you an executive assistant position.
00:06:22I need someone to rein in our interim CEO so that he can become the leader this company needs.
00:06:28So, keep him out of trouble?
00:06:31No, he's just overwhelmed.
00:06:33And his ex, Camilla, isn't helping.
00:06:36I need you to keep her far away from him.
00:06:39Sir, I appreciate the offer, I do, but I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:06:45Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:06:49I could use someone like you.
00:06:51You know, you're smart.
00:06:54You're good and under pressure.
00:06:55And if you don't tell him the real reason why I hired you, I'll handle all those medical bills of yours.
00:07:02What do you say?
00:07:05I say, when do I start?
00:07:10Right now.
00:07:15Hmm.
00:07:18Alex, meet Lakin Blanford, the interim CEO of Blanford Corporation.
00:07:22And you're a new boss.
00:07:25Her?
00:07:26Are you joking?
00:07:28I certainly am not.
00:07:30I'm still CEO for now.
00:07:32You do as I say.
00:07:44Welcome aboard.
00:07:49Hmm.
00:07:51Let's get started.
00:07:52Did you bring your notepad from the restaurant?
00:08:01Coffee.
00:08:02Black.
00:08:03Every day within five minutes of my arrival.
00:08:05Lunch will be at 1pm sharp.
00:08:08No fast food.
00:08:11Are you writing this down?
00:08:13I also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from Emilio's.
00:08:17Oh.
00:08:17And stay out of my personal life.
00:08:22That'll be all for now.
00:08:24I'll give you access to my work calendar later.
00:08:32That means you can go.
00:08:33Lakin.
00:08:42I like Lucifer.
00:08:45His bark's worse than his bite.
00:08:46Trust me.
00:08:48I'm Jace.
00:08:50Lucifer's angelic younger brother.
00:08:52You are?
00:08:53Alex.
00:08:54Lakin's new assistant.
00:08:55And, uh, it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling.
00:09:01I've said worse.
00:09:01Your secret's safe with me.
00:09:05Alex.
00:09:06Get in here.
00:09:07We need to roll some calls to South Korea.
00:09:09You're gonna need that.
00:09:11Coming.
00:09:12We're still evaluating the Chicago hub closure.
00:09:19It's costing us.
00:09:21Labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times.
00:09:27And shifting our operations to Detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford right now.
00:09:33So what?
00:09:34We're just gonna bleed cash while you evaluate?
00:09:37I need solutions faster.
00:09:39Not more excuses, people.
00:09:40We're exploring alternatives.
00:09:43Nothing definitive yet.
00:09:47Um, sorry to interrupt.
00:09:53But have you considered splitting freight between Detroit and Cleveland and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow?
00:10:01Huh.
00:10:02So what, you're now an expert in freight logistics?
00:10:05Uh, no.
00:10:07Oh, but I was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off, but Cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure.
00:10:17It wouldn't solve all of your problems, but it could keep the Detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely.
00:10:22Actually, that could work.
00:10:24Worth a shot.
00:10:26I mean, obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details.
00:10:31Is there anything else I should know about my business?
00:10:34Uh, you heard her.
00:10:44Let's, uh, let's move on this right away.
00:10:46That'll be all.
00:10:47Alex has to go.
00:10:51Absolutely not.
00:10:53She stays.
00:10:54Look, Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two.
00:10:58Seven this year.
00:10:59This girl is overstepping.
00:11:01She's jumping on executive leadership calls.
00:11:04Yes, she was right.
00:11:05But she is undermining me in front of my team.
00:11:08How is that supposed to strengthen my position with the board?
00:11:10So you want to fire her for being too good at her job?
00:11:14Lincoln, a good leader isn't threatened by his employees.
00:11:17Threatened?
00:11:18I am not threatened by her.
00:11:20But she makes it look like I've lost control.
00:11:22Well, the board already thinks you've lost control.
00:11:25This constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak.
00:11:31You have to keep Alex.
00:11:35What are you saying?
00:11:37You fire her and the board will find another CEO.
00:11:40You fire her and the board will find another CEO.
00:12:01Hey.
00:12:03Malia, right?
00:12:05How are you feeling?
00:12:07Better.
00:12:07Thank you for helping me the other day.
00:12:09Of course.
00:12:10You know, if you ever start to feel like that, you should sit down and slow your heart rate.
00:12:15What the hell are you doing?
00:12:19Malia, honey.
00:12:21Why don't you get started on your homework, okay?
00:12:27Your job is to help with my work, not butt into my personal life.
00:12:30I was just trying...
00:12:31From now on, I want you to leave my daughter alone.
00:12:34How about I leave you alone, huh?
00:12:38I quit.
00:12:39Come on, it's only been a week.
00:12:41You really giving up that fast?
00:12:43You know what?
00:12:44Fine.
00:12:45Leave.
00:12:46Guess you're just not cut out for a big girl job, are you, waitress?
00:12:55Alex, hang on.
00:12:56Alex!
00:12:57Alex!
00:12:58Alex!
00:13:05Alex, wait!
00:13:06Alex!
00:13:11I told you to wait.
00:13:12I'm not going to stay here and subject myself to this bullshit any longer.
00:13:18I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:13:21I'll double your salary.
00:13:23I'll give you a four-day work week, whatever you want.
00:13:25Look, you can't leave, okay?
00:13:31I need you to stay.
00:13:35How about starting with an apology?
00:13:38I've been working my ass off all week doing everything you say, and you're still a dick to me.
00:13:44What do I have to do to please you?
00:13:48Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:13:50It's not your fault.
00:13:51I just, uh...
00:13:58Alex, hang on.
00:14:08Alex.
00:14:09Hey.
00:14:10Alex.
00:14:10Hey, Alex, wait one second.
00:14:13Look, I don't know what came over me, okay?
00:14:16But I can't lose you.
00:14:18I promise from now on, I will clean up my act.
00:14:21No more verbal abuse?
00:14:23I didn't...
00:14:25Fine.
00:14:27No more.
00:14:28And no more calling me waitress.
00:14:30It's Miss Livingston or Alex.
00:14:33Got it.
00:14:35And you said something about doubling my salary.
00:14:39Stick around for a few more months, and then we'll talk, okay?
00:14:42Okay?
00:14:42You won't regret it.
00:14:48Want a bath?
00:14:49Sorry I'm late.
00:15:17Traffic was hell.
00:15:19A menu for you, sir.
00:15:25Hi, Malia.
00:15:27Can't compete with that iPad.
00:15:30We order drinks.
00:15:33A 2005 Roman Acon tea.
00:15:36Best bottle on the menu.
00:15:39It better be. It costs $15,000.
00:15:41We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:43Not until after I get board approval.
00:15:45What do you want?
00:15:50So, what did you want to talk to me about?
00:15:55Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:16:00It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:16:05Malia, honey, you and I talked about this, right?
00:16:08Your mother and I love you very much.
00:16:12It's just...
00:16:12It's not easy for us to be around each other right now.
00:16:19Maybe.
00:16:21We could try a little harder.
00:16:23Hey.
00:16:32I just wanted to give you a status report before I head home.
00:16:35Thank you, Miss Livingston.
00:16:36So, regarding South Korea, I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week.
00:16:42I'm working...
00:16:43I can, are you listening to me?
00:16:57Uh, sorry.
00:17:00As I was saying, uh, where was I?
00:17:03You can just take your top off.
00:17:05Oh my God, I meant you can just take it from the top.
00:17:14I gotta go.
00:17:14No soy sauce in this whole building?
00:17:29They're still here.
00:17:30That's surprising.
00:17:33You and my brother getting along better?
00:17:35Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:39So, that little argument you guys had the other day, what was that?
00:17:42A lover's quarrel?
00:17:45Look who's blushing.
00:17:47I am not blushing, and that wasn't a lover's quarrel.
00:17:51He doesn't like me like that.
00:17:53So he didn't run after you in the elevator and sweep you off your feet?
00:17:58Chase.
00:17:59Lakin.
00:18:01So we were just talking about you.
00:18:03Lovely assistant you've got here.
00:18:05Such a sweetheart.
00:18:07Anywho, I gotta go.
00:18:08I'll talk to you later, Alex.
00:18:10You needed me for something?
00:18:11The company's hosting a charity fundraiser tomorrow night, and I need you to go with me.
00:18:21You need a date?
00:18:23No, what I need is my assistant close by.
00:18:25So, if you have any plans, just go ahead and cancel them.
00:18:30And here.
00:18:32Take my card and buy yourself a dress this afternoon.
00:18:35Try to keep it under $10,000, all right?
00:18:37No problem.
00:18:39I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.
00:18:44Got it.
00:18:45Under $10,000.
00:18:48Oh.
00:18:49And seeing as I'm buying, I like red.
00:19:03I want to take your hand.
00:19:05I want to take your hand.
00:19:13Oh.
00:19:14I want to take your hand.
00:19:19I don't want to see you
00:19:33I don't want to see you
00:19:49I thought I said I like red
00:20:02Did you?
00:20:05Oops, must have slipped my mind
00:20:19Looks like we're almost there
00:20:31Remember, this is a work event
00:20:35The whole board is going to be there
00:20:37It's easy on the drinks
00:20:47Do as I say, not as I do
00:20:57You ready?
00:21:17Here, here, here
00:21:31So, Miss Livingston
00:21:37I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight
00:21:41And you lied to me
00:21:43Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:47I thought only HR saw that
00:21:53Oh, don't be embarrassed, Sugar
00:21:57I think that's a very sweet man
00:21:59I'm not embarrassed, it's just private
00:22:03My parents were the only ones who called me that
00:22:07I see
00:22:11I apologize
00:22:15I didn't know
00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you
00:22:19Hey
00:22:21Hey
00:22:23Alex
00:22:25I mean
00:22:27I'm sorry
00:22:29I think I owe you a drink
00:22:35I'll be right back
00:22:37I'll be right back
00:22:45Look at you
00:22:47You look stunning
00:22:49Let's see the dress
00:22:53This could turn even me straight
00:22:55Picked it out just for you
00:22:56It's perfect
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:23:17For 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, sure, I 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
00:23:49Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:51Everyone else is dancing
00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't
00:23:55And besides
00:23:57It's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right
00:24:15So
00:24:16Something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:18Jace?
00:24:20Of course not
00:24:21That was nothing
00:24:23It didn't look like nothing
00:24:25If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous
00:24:30Don't be ridiculous
00:24:32I'm just
00:24:33Looking out for my assistant
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested
00:24:39He's...
00:24:40You know
00:24:42He's what?
00:24:43You don't know?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind
00:24:51So...
00:24:52You guys aren't that close then
00:24:53Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits
00:24:57If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America
00:25:01It's important to make time for family, Lincoln
00:25:05That's none of your concern
00:25:07Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston
00:25:12It's unprofessional
00:25:17What? This?
00:25:19This is just two co-workers dancing
00:25:21Right
00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance
00:25:28It's completely innocent
00:25:30Hmm...
00:25:31They're rarely touching
00:25:37Lincoln
00:25:40Dad
00:25:42Well, some of our board members are already here
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds
00:25:47Miss Livingston?
00:25:48Miss Livingston?
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:56Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress
00:26:01Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln
00:26:06Thank you
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
00:26:19Team Darren finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly
00:26:34Hi, Lincoln
00:26:36What are you doing here?
00:26:37I just thought I'd stop by
00:26:39I 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?
00:26:53Uh, no one
00:26:54Just, uh, my assistant
00:26:57Alex
00:26:59Nice to meet you, Alice
00:27:01As I was saying
00:27:03The transit times in New York
00:27:04I really-
00:27:05Come on, Lincoln
00:27:07Don't be a bore, it's a party
00:27:09No one wants to talk about business
00:27:11Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance
00:27:14Maybe later, these gentlemen are on the board
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:19What are you doing?
00:27:29Are you drunk?
00:27:30The whole office is here
00:27:32We never have any time together
00:27:34And there's a reason for that, Camilla
00:27:36We're not together anymore
00:27:38You 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
00:27:48And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together
00:27:52I was hoping you'd dance with me
00:27:55For all time's sake
00:27:57One dance
00:28:00One dance
00:28:17Excuse me, gentlemen
00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you missed this
00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla
00:28:33Facts, 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?
00:28:47Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:51Malia's getting older
00:28:54It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation
00:28:58We should be a family
00:29:01We tried
00:29:03And failed miserably
00:29:05I can't be with you, Camilla
00:29:07Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla
00:29:11Don't
00:29:12Kiss me
00:29:13If you don't feel anything
00:29:15I'll leave you alone
00:29:20Stop!
00:29:21Jesus
00:29:24Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that
00:29:28Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me
00:29:33You 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
00:29:44You hear me?
00:29:45Never
00:29:46Now, you need to go
00:29:48But...
00:29:49Right now
00:29:57I'm not having any fun?
00:30:11Yeah, I'm the one I'm mad tired
00:30:13Yeah, I'm so mad into the
00:30:15Yeah, we're going up, up, up, up
00:30:18We're all to read
00:30:19Let's see if we can change that
00:30:21You sit
00:30:22That is to the top
00:30:23This is my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:31And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:35And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:40So it's 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! Stop!
00:30:49Something funny?
00:30:53Time to go.
00:31:07Arturo, take Miss Livingston home.
00:31:10You're being incredibly rude, you 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 the 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?
00:31:48Yeah.
00:31:51Liar.
00:31:52Liar.
00:32:05I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:15Yeah, it was 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.
00:32:32Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:32:47I don't know.
00:32:48I don't know.
00:32:49I don't think I can count on it.
00:32:49I don't know.
00:32:49It perfectly anything.
00:32:58I don't think that I need to have listener to the mookie of my dad's free.
00:33:02But here we have no sır's coming than supper.
00:33:04Get the hell out of your Justice baby.
00:33:06threw you anywhere.
00:33:07What could I use again?
00:33:09I don't know 100% of us.
00:33:10I don't know how many of us could have added the room this way.
00:33:13Can't leave us everything else to have a stroke.
00:33:14I need to söyleye the group with Paula Paragraph.
00:33:15You are...
00:33:45You want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no.
00:33:52Right.
00:33:54No.
00:33:55Of course not.
00:33:57Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:15Morning.
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.
00:34:37Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:39Me.
00:34:40Dad.
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.
00:35:04And when he finally did, oh, 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.
00:35:17Look, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:25How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details.
00:35:30Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:32Great.
00:35:33Great.
00:35:47Can'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.
00:36:00I wanted to have the gala postmortem 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?
00:36:17Grandpa, 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.
00:36:28Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm.
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:37Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:55Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it.
00:36:58Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:25Me neither.
00:37:25It's okay.
00:37:37I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:43He's right.
00:37:45It is.
00:37:46Look on the bright side.
00:37:48At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:59That was delicious.
00:38:00All right.
00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:07Uh, Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:20Alex, I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:24Really?
00:38:25It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:29You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.
00:38:37Thank you, Jace.
00:38:38You're very welcome.
00:38:39Jace, don't...
00:38:39Bye.
00:38:42Wanna 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, please.
00:38:51Please.
00:38:56Works for me.
00:38:59I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:13Come on.
00:39:14I can chill out.
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, or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:16Your job is not in danger.
00:40:17Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:25What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I...
00:40:27I 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...
00:40:38Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:41I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:46I want you, Alex.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:55What if we separate church and state?
00:41:00At 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...
00:41:21Every night it's the same.
00:41:23I keep running fast, left 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...
00:41:37William, hurry.
00:41:38Come on.
00:41:39Come on.
00:41:41Let's go, Malia.
00:41:42Come 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 I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:57Going to LA.
00:41:59Business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:02Oh, uh...
00:42:03I'm not really here to be childcare.
00:42:05I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:07Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey.
00:42:24It's okay, Malia.
00:42:25Alex, what's going on?
00:42:39Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:41Camilla 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...
00:42:57Mommy 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.
00:43:03I love you.
00:43:04I love you, too.
00:43:10I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:13So much for that family time she 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.
00:43:30I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets back, send you with rice.
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:45Has your mom done this before?
00:43:47Sort of.
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work trips.
00:44:00Work trips.
00:44:01Huh.
00:44:03Does your dad know about this?
00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:08She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit!
00:44:14I mean, shoot!
00:44:17Oh, my God!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:36Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:41I didn't mean to.
00:44:43I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:05How will we order some pizza?
00:45:06I don't know.
00:45:29Malia?
00:45:30Malia?
00:45:32Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:34You can talk to me.
00:45:42Believe me, I understand.
00:45:46What do you mean?
00:45:51It's from surgery.
00:45:53I was born with a heart defect.
00:45:55Just like you.
00:45:57Really?
00:45:57I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:23What is it?
00:46:23It's me.
00:46:24Lincoln.
00:46:32Lincoln.
00:46:34Hi.
00:46:36Hi.
00:46:39Can I see Malia?
00:46:40Malia?
00:46:40Daddy, shh.
00:47:10It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here. Go back to sleep.
00:47:15No, stay.
00:47:18I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:21No, you stay too.
00:47:26It's all right with me.
00:47:40No, no.
00:48:02Where do you think you're going?
00:48:04To find Malia?
00:48:07I've already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:11We're all alone.
00:48:15What about work?
00:48:19Time off for good behavior.
00:48:21Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:38It wasn't a problem.
00:48:39Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:49Let me make it up to you.
00:48:55How are you going to do that?
00:48:56I don't know if I can take it.
00:49:01Must be a monster in my eyes.
00:49:03Let me show you.
00:49:05Lately, it feels like I've been faking.
00:49:08Think there's a stranger here and stand.
00:49:11There you have it.
00:49:13Let me lie.
00:49:15I lie awake.
00:49:17I want to escape this.
00:49:19Oh, no.
00:49:21Time here is changing.
00:49:23You're like the neighbors.
00:49:28Somewhere away from all these nightmares
00:49:33Where nobody can find me
00:49:37Let's run away
00:49:40Fire away from all the pain
00:49:43You know, I think more people should try co-workers
00:49:53With benefits
00:49:54So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:07Not really
00:50:08Sorry, I was just curious
00:50:15Congenital 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
00:50:24These bills
00:50:25This scar
00:50:26My parents were incredible
00:50:29They gave up everything for me
00:50:32They drained their savings
00:50:33In what little life of wealth
00:50:35They built for themselves
00:50:36To try and make my life normal
00:50:38And now they're gone
00:50:39Car accident
00:50:42When I was a senior
00:50:43In high school
00:50:44I begged them to have a night to themselves
00:50:47For once
00:50:48And then
00:50:48Alex
00:50:50Sorry
00:50:51Way too much information
00:50:53Especially from a fuck buddy
00:50:55You don't need to know my sob story
00:50:57You know that Malia's heart condition
00:51:02Is congenital
00:51:03I know
00:51:04She told me
00:51:05Yeah, well
00:51:06She doesn't know everything
00:51:07Look, I've never told anybody this
00:51:12But
00:51:12Malia was more with her defect
00:51:16Because Camilla
00:51:17She took diet pills
00:51:20During the pregnancy
00:51:21So she wouldn't gain weight
00:51:22Or lose out on modeling gigs
00:51:24I only found out
00:51:26Before it was too late
00:51:27Oh my god
00:51:29It's terrible
00:51:31Truth is
00:51:33She never really wanted to have a baby
00:51:35I did
00:51:37I was the one who wanted us
00:51:39To be a happy family
00:51:40Turns out
00:51:42She was just in it
00:51:43For a meal ticket
00:51:44I'm so sorry, Lincoln
00:51:48The only reason
00:51:51She wants to get back together
00:51:52Is for the money
00:51:54Not for me
00:51:56And certainly not for her daughter
00:51:57You know
00:51:59She's always been irresponsible
00:52:01But
00:52:02This latest stunt
00:52:03Abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:05It's
00:52:05Have you thought about
00:52:08Pursuing sole custody?
00:52:10I want to
00:52:10But
00:52:11It's too risky
00:52:12I mean the courts usually
00:52:14Side with the mother
00:52:14I can't risk losing my daughter
00:52:16They don't always
00:52:18Malia told me
00:52:22This wasn't the first time
00:52:23Camilla's done something like this
00:52:25What did she say to you?
00:52:27Camilla leaves her with her friends
00:52:29When she goes on work trips
00:52:30It's dangerous
00:52:31And clearly her emotional needs
00:52:33Aren't being met
00:52:34I think you could have a case here
00:52:36I don't know
00:52:37I don't want to put her through that
00:52:40I mean
00:52:40Making her testify against her own mother
00:52:42I can't do that
00:52:44I know you want what's best for Malia
00:52:47But
00:52:48And sharing her with Camilla
00:52:49Isn't it
00:52:50Maybe you should just give Camilla
00:52:53What she really wants
00:52:54And if that's money
00:52:56Fine
00:52:56You have it
00:52:58Malia deserves people in her life
00:53:01Who care about her
00:53:02You're right
00:53:03Malia deserves better
00:53:05I will talk to her this week
00:53:08Thank you
00:53:17Seems like I owe you again
00:53:23Greedy
00:53:27I meant breakfast
00:53:30You can cook
00:53:32Yes
00:53:34I can
00:53:34For the right company
00:53:36Ta-da
00:53:46I should have known
00:53:55Someone named Sugar
00:53:55Would have such a sweet tooth
00:53:56Shit
00:54:00Fuck
00:54:00I'm sorry
00:54:01I didn't mean to
00:54:02It's okay
00:54:04Really
00:54:05It's
00:54:05Actually kind of nice
00:54:07To have someone call me
00:54:08By my real name again
00:54:09Thank you again
00:54:11For everything
00:54:12I know this wasn't part
00:54:14Of the job description
00:54:15And I'm sure
00:54:16Dealing with my ex
00:54:17Wasn't what you had in mind
00:54:19When my dad hired you
00:54:20Right
00:54:24Not exactly
00:54:26He told you all of that?
00:54:33What are you
00:54:34A miracle worker?
00:54:35A saint?
00:54:37Hardly
00:54:37Look
00:54:40If I tell you something
00:54:42You promise not to say anything
00:54:43To anyone
00:54:44Cross my heart
00:54:46I hope to die
00:54:47Your dad is paying me
00:54:52To do this
00:54:53To help Lakin
00:54:53That'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
00:55:01To pay off my student loans
00:55:03And cover my medical bills
00:55:04For life
00:55:05If I stuck it out
00:55:06As Lakin's assistant
00:55:07He wanted me to keep him
00:55:09Away from Camilla
00:55:09By any means necessary
00:55:11He said
00:55:12Now that Lakin and I are
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits
00:55:16Coworkers with benefits
00:55:19Excuse me
00:55:20It just
00:55:22It seems wrong
00:55:23Not to tell him
00:55:24Why?
00:55:25Because you're helping him
00:55:26Get his shit together
00:55:27And getting paid for it
00:55:28Seems like a win-win to me
00:55:29I won't feel like that
00:55:31If he finds out
00:55:31He'll think I'm just
00:55:32Using him
00:55:33Well
00:55:34Maybe he doesn't have to find out
00:55:36Chase
00:55:37I can't keep lying to him
00:55:39I think
00:55:39I think I'm falling for him
00:55:43So more than coworkers
00:55:48With benefits
00:55:49Thanks for meeting me
00:55:59I wanted to talk to you about
00:56:02Your new girlfriend
00:56:02What?
00:56:04I know all about
00:56:06Your little sleepover
00:56:07You know
00:56:09I'd appreciate it
00:56:10If he told me
00:56:10Before bringing another woman
00:56:11Into our daughter's life
00:56:12Especially that one
00:56:14What do you mean by that one?
00:56:17Alex actually stepped up
00:56:19When you abandoned her
00:56:19To go clubbing in LA
00:56:20It was a work trip
00:56:22Oh really?
00:56:32She's already proven
00:56:33To be way better
00:56:34At taking care of Malia
00:56:35Than you've ever been
00:56:35Which is actually
00:56:36Why I'm here
00:56:37Enough is enough
00:56:40I want sole custody
00:56:42This is it?
00:56:46You want to break up
00:56:47Our family
00:56:47For that lying
00:56:48You don't want a family
00:56:50You just want my money
00:56:51I see right through you
00:56:52Camilla
00:56:53You think I want money?
00:56:56How much do you know
00:56:57About your little assistant?
00:56:58What do you mean?
00:57:02I hate
00:57:03To be the one
00:57:05To tell you this
00:57:06But
00:57:07That girl
00:57:09Is using you
00:57:10Lakin
00:57:10I overheard
00:57:16Jason Herr
00:57:16Laughing about it
00:57:17In the break room
00:57:18Earlier today
00:57:18What do you mean
00:57:22She's using me?
00:57:24The only reason
00:57:24Why she's working
00:57:25For you
00:57:26Is because
00:57:27Your dad promised
00:57:28To pay her medical bills
00:57:29If she kept you
00:57:30Away from me
00:57:30No
00:57:33She wouldn't do that
00:57:34That's not who she is
00:57:35If you don't believe me
00:57:37Just ask your dad
00:57:39Is it true?
00:57:50Lakin
00:57:50What are you doing here?
00:57:52Did you hire Alex
00:57:53In order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:58It was for your own good
00:57:59Do not give me that
00:58:00Father knows best routine
00:58:01This is a complete betrayal
00:58:03Of my trust
00:58:04Your personal issues
00:58:05Were affecting
00:58:06Not only the business
00:58:07But our family
00:58:08That is absurd
00:58:09This has nothing
00:58:10To do with the company
00:58:11Your inability
00:58:12To cut Camilla
00:58:13From your life
00:58:13Seriously calls into question
00:58:15Your abilities
00:58:16As a leader
00:58:16As it does
00:58:18The way you've
00:58:18Closed yourself off
00:58:19From any connection
00:58:20Romantic or
00:58:21So what?
00:58:21I can't be CEO
00:58:22If I don't open my heart?
00:58:24That is bullshit
00:58:25My love life
00:58:26Is none of your business
00:58:27But the well-being
00:58:29Of my granddaughter
00:58:30Still is
00:58:31Alex is a smart girl
00:58:34With a good heart
00:58:34She cares about Malia
00:58:37And she challenges you
00:58:39She's fired
00:58:41Thanks to you
00:58:43What are you doing here?
00:59:08We need to talk
00:59:11Oh yeah?
00:59:14You want to explain
00:59:14What you were doing
00:59:15With your ex
00:59:16Looking like you're
00:59:16Getting back together?
00:59:19Is that why you haven't
00:59:20Got in custody of Malia?
00:59:21Because you still love her?
00:59:23God, it was so fucking stupid
00:59:24Were you ever gonna tell me
00:59:26About your little deal
00:59:26With my dad?
00:59:29God, Alex
00:59:30I trusted you
00:59:32I told you things
00:59:34That I've never even
00:59:35Told my family
00:59:35And this whole time
00:59:37You were just in it
00:59:39For the money
00:59:40I
00:59:41That was before
00:59:43Anything happened
00:59:44Between us
00:59:45Lakin
00:59:45I couldn't say no
00:59:47That kind of money
00:59:48You know my situation
00:59:50But I never meant
00:59:51To hurt you
00:59:51And fucking me
00:59:52What?
00:59:52That was just a way
00:59:53To ensure job security?
00:59:55That's all I am to you
00:59:56Just a transaction?
00:59:58Of course not
00:59:59How dare you?
01:00:03Why should I believe you?
01:00:05You know
01:00:06You're just like her
01:00:07I am not like Camilla
01:00:10Lakin
01:00:11I care about you
01:00:13You're fired
01:00:13And this thing between us
01:00:15That's over too
01:00:17Let's go
01:00:18Let's go
01:00:47Rocky road, huh?
01:01:12I've got the perfect pairing
01:01:15You're gonna let me in or what?
01:01:19You are out of your mind
01:01:25Showing up here is insane
01:01:28Like you don't fucking love it
01:01:29I don't
01:01:30I've changed
01:01:33I've heard that before
01:01:34God, it turns me on
01:01:36Alright, this is like a pandemic level
01:01:39Of Postmates orders
01:01:40Have you left your house yet?
01:01:42Well, I'm gonna try
01:01:43And get my old job back
01:01:44So I'll probably be out of the house
01:01:46Five days a week
01:01:47Girl, losing your job
01:01:49And getting dumped
01:01:50On the same days a lot
01:01:51You can take some time to mourn
01:01:53I can't waste any more time
01:01:57On Lakin
01:01:57I was so stupid thinking
01:02:01He actually cared about me
01:02:02What's wrong with me?
01:02:16Nothing
01:02:18Absolutely nothing
01:02:20I'm sorry
01:02:27I just
01:02:29I think I want to be alone tonight
01:02:34Hey
01:02:40Text me, okay?
01:02:44Just because we don't work together
01:02:44Doesn't mean we're not friends
01:02:45I will
01:02:49I promise
01:03:04I promise
01:03:05I promise
01:03:06I promise
01:03:07I promise
01:03:08I promise
01:03:09I promise
01:03:10I promise
01:03:11I promise
01:03:12I promise
01:03:13I promise
01:03:14I promise
01:03:15I promise
01:03:16I promise
01:03:17I promise
01:03:18I promise
01:03:19I promise
01:03:20I promise
01:03:21I promise
01:03:22I promise
01:03:23I promise
01:03:24I promise
01:03:25I promise
01:03:26I promise
01:03:27I promise
01:03:28I promise
01:03:29I promise
01:03:30I promise
01:03:31I promise
01:03:32I promise
01:03:33I promise
01:03:34Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:52I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:04You really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:21Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:25Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:28We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:32I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:34I don't.
01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:43What do you care?
01:04:45She's all yours now.
01:04:46Her little deal with dad is mute,
01:04:48and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:58You're always so wrapped up in your own shit,
01:05:00you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:04I'm sorry.
01:05:10Really.
01:05:13I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:14Are 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.
01:05:45She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:49She 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.
01:05:59And 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 not too late to make it right.
01:06:18I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:19I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:20I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:21I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:22I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:23I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:24I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:25I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:26I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:27I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:28I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:29I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:30I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:31I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:32I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:34I'm not too late to make it right.
01:07:35$50,000 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.
01:08:12You 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?
01:08:20Good 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.
01:08:53Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:09:02Come on.
01:09:07We should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong.
01:09:10The witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11Yeah.
01:09:14And now Malia has to live the rest of her life, knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:20On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:23You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:25What else could you want?
01:09:26Maybe a certain little assistant 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.
01:09:56She'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?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:26Alex.
01:10:31Lincoln?
01:10:33Uh, what are you doing here?
01:10:36Uh, Jace brought me to celebrate.
01:10:40I won full custody.
01:10:43Congratulations.
01:10:45Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:49Uh.
01:10:50Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.
01:10:54I made a huge mistake.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:57I, I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:04Alex, here.
01:11:05You okay?
01:11:11You okay?
01:11:12You okay?
01:11:14Oh!
01:11:15Someone call 911!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20It's okay.
01:11:20Any update?
01:11:44There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but
01:11:46the doctor said that
01:11:49she's in critical condition.
01:11:51They're going to operate tomorrow.
01:11:54And then her chances are 50-50.
01:11:56Jesus.
01:11:58Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:03The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:07And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't help either.
01:12:10I should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lakin.
01:12:15And now Alex could...
01:12:16She could...
01:12:17Hey, stop.
01:12:18Don't talk like that.
01:12:20Are you Lakin?
01:12:41Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:45Jesus Christ.
01:12:47I was so worried.
01:12:49I thought...
01:12:50I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:57I'm fine.
01:12:59You should leave.
01:13:02What?
01:13:02What are you talking about?
01:13:04Lakin, why are you here?
01:13:05I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:08I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:08Because you feel guilty.
01:13:11This is what you do.
01:13:13You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:15No.
01:13:16It's not like that.
01:13:17I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.
01:13:21I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:24You are not a burden.
01:13:28I don't think that.
01:13:30I'd like you to go.
01:13:32I don't think that.
01:13:39I don't think that.
01:13:53Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:21It's good to see you awake.
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, so he's been helping out with Muya 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.
01:15:09You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:11Dad was good for it.
01:15:12Just 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.
01:15:22Why should I-
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:25You deserve love.
01:15:30It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:32I'm sorry.
01:15:33I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:34Fuck.
01:15:35I'm sorry.
01:15:36I just-
01:15:37I thought you might need some help.
01:15:38Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:15:40Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:15:41I'm sorry.
01:15:42I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:43Fuck.
01:15:44I'm sorry.
01:15:45I just-
01:15:46I thought you might need some help.
01:15:47Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:15:49Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:15:52Sorry.
01:15:53I'm sorry.
01:15:54I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:55Fuck.
01:15:56I'm sorry.
01:15:58I just-
01:15:59I thought you might need some help.
01:16:01Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:03Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:04Sorry.
01:16:06Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:08Alex, you're recovering from your death.
01:16:13That's the truth.
01:16:15Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:17Alex, you're recovering from surgery.
01:16:20Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:44Malia asks about you all the time.
01:16:48She misses you.
01:16:52Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:03It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:07I can see that now.
01:17:09I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:12And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:15It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:23What you told me about your parents and 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?
01:17:40That'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.
01:17:53I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:58But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me,
01:18:03is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:10It is simply because you love them.
01:18:15Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:29I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:35And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it?
01:18:43How?
01:18:43Is that...
01:18:53Scars.
01:18:55Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:01I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:03I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:16Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:20Please.
01:19:25I love you too.
01:19:26I love you too.
01:19:26What are you doing next week?
01:19:54I want to take you to a party.
01:19:59Another gala?
01:20:01Something like that.
01:20:03And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:07Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:16Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:20Happy birthday to you.
01:20:33What did you wish for?
01:20:35A new mommy.
01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:41I got you something.
01:20:47It might not be the biggest present you get,
01:20:49but I think you'll like it.
01:20:52I have one too.
01:20:55Just like you.
01:20:56One step at a time.
01:21:12I don't want to go back.
01:21:15I don't want to go back.
01:21:17I like you.
01:21:19I like you.
01:21:19I like you.
01:21:20I like you.
01:21:21I like you.
01:21:21I don't hold back
01:21:24And I'm going back
01:21:27The sky is going back
01:21:29So I'm with
01:21:31I don't hold back
