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.

00:01:06I don't tongue fucks.

00:01:10I don't eat.

00:01:12I think it's good to touch her back.

00:01:16I think it came out.

00:01:17I just want Joarney, but I think it's fine.

00:01:19The other way she kind is eating looks like her party.

00:01:22It's just that she came out.

00:01:23When she had the house, she начинаers going to eat the dog.

00:01:27I hope to make a girl move.

00:08:49lucifer's angelic younger brother

00:08:51you are

00:08:52alex

00:08:54lincoln's new assistant

00:08:55and uh

00:08:56it would be

00:08:57great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling

00:09:00i've said worse

00:09:01your secret's safe with me

00:09:03alex

00:09:05get in here

00:09:06we need to roll some calls to south korea

00:09:08you're gonna need that

00:09:10coming

00:09:12we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure

00:09:19it's costing us

00:09:21labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times and

00:09:27shifting our operations to detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford right now

00:09:33so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate i need solutions faster not more excuses people

00:09:40we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet

00:09:44um sorry to interrupt

00:09:51but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow

00:09:59huh

00:10:01so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics

00:10:05uh

00:10:06no

00:10:07but

00:10:08i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but cleveland's underutilized

00:10:14and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure

00:10:16it 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

00:10:34not yet

00:11:05but she is undermining me in front of my team

00:11:07how is that supposed to strengthen my position with the board

00:11:10so you want to fire her for being too good at her job

00:11:14like a good leader isn't threatened by his employees

00:11:17threatened

00:11:20but she makes it look like i've lost control

00:11:22well the board already thinks you've lost control

00:15:20A menu for you, sir.

00:15:22Hi, Malia.

00:15:27Can't compete with that iPad.

00:15:30We order drinks.

00:15:31A 2005 Roman Acon tea.

00:15:36Best bottle on the menu.

00:15:38It better be.

00:15:39It costs $15,000.

00:15:41We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.

00:15:43Not until after I get board approval.

00:15:45So, 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.

00:16:01It'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.

00:16:10It's just, it's not easy for us to be around each other right now.

00:16:19Maybe.

00:16:21We could try a little harder.

00:16:30Hey.

00:16:32I just wanted to give you a status report before I head home.

00:16:35Thank you, Ms. 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, as 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.

00:17:37So, that little argument you guys had the other day, what was that?

00:17:42A lover's quarrel?

00:17:45Look who's blushing.

00:17:47I am not blushing, and that wasn't a lover's quarrel.

00:17:51He doesn't like me like that.

00:17:53So he didn't run after you in the elevator and sweep you off your feet?

00:17:58Chase.

00:17:59Lakin.

00:18:01So we were just talking about you.

00:18:03Lovely assistant you've got here.

00:18:05Such a sweetheart.

00:18:07Anywho, I gotta go.

00:18:08I'll talk to you later, Alex.

00:18:10You needed me for something?

00:18:14The, uh, the company's hosting a charity fundraiser tomorrow night, and I need you to go with me.

00:18:21You need a date?

00:18:23No, uh, what I need is my assistant close by.

00:18:26So, if you have any plans, just go ahead and cancel them.

00:18:30And here.

00:18:32Take my card and buy yourself a dress this afternoon.

00:18:35Try to keep it under $10,000, all right?

00:18:38No problem.

00:18:39I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.

00:18:44Got it.

00:18:45Under $10,000.

00:18:48Oh.

00:18:50And seeing as I'm buying,

00:18:52I like red.

00:18:54Well, let's go.

00:18:54We're going to go.

00:19:11We're on.

00:19:12Okay.

00:19:13All right.

00:19:13Bye.

00:19:14Bye.

00:19:15Bye.

00:19:16Bye.

00:19:17Bye.

00:19:18Bye.

00:19:19Bye.

00:19:20Bye.

00:19:21Bye.

00:19:22I don't know.

00:19:52I thought I said I like red.

00:20:03Did you?

00:20:05Oops.

00:20:06Must have slipped my mind.

00:20:22Looks like we're almost there.

00:20:32Remember, this is a work event.

00:20:35The whole board's going to be there.

00:20:37It's easy on the drinks.

00:20:38Do as I say, not as I do.

00:20:54You ready?

00:20:57You ready?

00:21:27You ready?

00:21:35So, Miss Livingston.

00:21:38I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight, and you lied to me.

00:21:46Your name's not Alexandra, is it?

00:21:48I thought only HR saw that.

00:21:55Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar.

00:21:58I think that's a very sweet name.

00:22:00I'm not embarrassed.

00:22:01It's just private.

00:22:03My parents were the only ones who called me that.

00:22:08I see.

00:22:14I apologize.

00:22:15I didn't know.

00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you.

00:22:20Hey.

00:22:23Alex.

00:22:26I mean, I'm sorry.

00:22:28I think I owe you a drink.

00:22:37I'll be right back.

00:22:38Look at you.

00:22:46You look stunning.

00:22:49Let's see the dress.

00:22:53Let's get to turn you and me straight.

00:22:55Picked it out just for you.

00:22:56It's perfect.

00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?

00:22:58For 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.

00:23:29My guest.

00:23:30You know what I mean.

00:23:31Yeah, yeah, sure.

00:23:31I know what you mean.

00:23:32I'll take that.

00:23:33I'll leave you guys to it.

00:23:47It's just a dance.

00:23:48Do not be weird about this.

00:23:50Oh, I'm being weird?

00:23:51Everyone else is dancing.

00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't.

00:23:55And besides,

00:23:56it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?

00:24:02Right.

00:24:02So,

00:24:15something going on between you and my brother?

00:24:20Jase?

00:24:21Of course not.

00:24:22That was nothing.

00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.

00:24:24If I didn't know any better,

00:24:27I'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.

00:24:40He's what?

00:24:45You don't know?

00:24:49Never mind.

00:24:50So,

00:24:51you guys aren't that close then?

00:24:53Well, excuse me if I don't have time

00:24:54to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.

00:24:57If you hadn't noticed,

00:24:58I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company

00:25:00in America.

00:25:01It's important to make time for family,

00:25:04Lincoln.

00:25:05That's none of your concern.

00:25:08Just focus on steering clear of an office romance,

00:25:11Miss Livingston.

00:25:12It's unprofessional.

00:25:17What?

00:25:17This?

00:25:19This is just two co-workers dancing.

00:25:21Right.

00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.

00:25:28It's completely innocent.

00:25:30Hmm.

00:25:31They'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?

00:25:50Shall we?

00:25:51Well, Mr. Harris was just saying

00:25:58that he was very impressed

00:25:59with your recent progress.

00:26:01Wonderful to see that you're finally

00:26:03settling in, Lincoln.

00:26:08Miss Livingston has been a

00:26:09welcomed 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.

00:26:20Team there and finalizing everything,

00:26:32making sure everything's running smoothly.

00:26:34I'm Lincoln.

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.

00:26:39Where's Malia?

00:26:42I got a babysitter.

00:26:44I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.

00:26:47Who's this?

00:26:52Uh, no one.

00:26:53Just, uh, my assistant.

00:26:57Alex.

00:26:58Nice to meet you, Alice.

00:27:00As I was saying,

00:27:03the transit times in New York,

00:27:04I really...

00:27:04Oh, come on, Lincoln.

00:27:06Don't be a poor.

00:27:07It's a party.

00:27:09No one wants to talk about business.

00:27:10Am I right?

00:27:12Let's dance.

00:27:13Maybe later.

00:27:14These gentlemen are on the board.

00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?

00:27:18What are you doing?

00:27:29Are you drunk?

00:27:30The whole office is here.

00:27:32We never have any time together.

00:27:33And there's a reason for that, Camilla.

00:27:35We're not together anymore.

00:27:37You made that perfectly clear

00:27:38when you fucked my best friend.

00:27:40Oh, come on, Lincoln.

00:27:41I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.

00:27:44I just...

00:27:46I miss you.

00:27:49And I was thinking about

00:27:50how we used to come to these things together.

00:27:52I was hoping you'd dance with me.

00:27:56For all time's sake.

00:28:00One dance.

00:28:11Excuse me, gentlemen.

00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?

00:28:24I know you miss this.

00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla.

00:28:33Facts, 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

00:28:42about missing me.

00:28:44I know you.

00:28:45You want money, don't you?

00:28:47Have you given any more thought

00:28:49to 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,

00:28:56especially with her situation.

00:28:59We should be a family.

00:29:01We tried.

00:29:02And failed miserably.

00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla.

00:29:06Are you sure about that?

00:29:09Camilla,

00:29:10don't.

00:29:11Kiss me.

00:29:12If you don't feel anything,

00:29:14I'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.

00:29:31You don't want me to make a scene, do you?

00:29:35Because you know I will.

00:29:38Let me make something very clear to you.

00:29:41We are never getting back together, Camilla.

00:29:43You hear me?

00:29:44Ever.

00:29:45Now, you need to go.

00:29:47But...

00:29:48Right now.

00:30:12Not having any fun?

00:30:13Let's see if we can change that.

00:30:28It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?

00:30:30And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.

00:30:35And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.

00:30:40So it's the last call, right?

00:30:41I go up to the bar looking for this guy.

00:30:43Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.

00:30:44Oh my God!

00:30:46Stop!

00:30:49Something funny?

00:30:50Something funny?

00:30:54Time to go.

00:30:54It's okay.

00:31:07Arturo.

00:31:09Took Miss Livingston home.

00:31:10You're being incredibly rude.

00:31:12You know that?

00:31:12You're getting wasted at a company party.

00:31:15It's totally inappropriate.

00:31:17Don't you inappropriate me.

00:31:19Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.

00:31:20You made out in front of everyone.

00:31:22First of all, she's my ex.

00:31:24And 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?

00:31:33What, 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.

00:31:54I 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'm going to leave her head.

00:32:47We also got her head.

00:32:49Leave us that sin by the way.

00:32:50To know that we both are left.

00:32:53I wanna be with her.

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'm the realest thing.

00:33:01Cause I wanna be with you.

00:33:03I wanna be with you.

00:33:05I run away.

00:33:06We can't let this go too many times.

00:33:08I don't want nobody else

00:33:11Don't let this go too late

00:33:38You, 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.

00:34:08Morning.

00:34:21Morning.

00:34:31I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.

00:34:35It's not your fault. Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?

00:34:39Me. Dad.

00:34:41But I've seen how he is with Malia, and...

00:34:44She's a soft spot.

00:34:46Laken's got some serious trust issues.

00:34:49Like, he needs therapy about it.

00:34:52Camilla really messed him up.

00:34:54Look, 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.

00:35:02It took 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.

00:35:22Look, I gotta run to a meeting.

00:35:24How about you come over for dinner tonight?

00:35:27Seven, I'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.

00:35:54Dad insisted.

00:35:57Something about never getting to see Malia these days.

00:36:00I 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.

00:36:28Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?

00:36:30Hmm.

00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.

00:36:35Are we expecting company?

00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.

00:36:51Alex?

00:36:56Lincoln?

00:36:57You made it!

00:36:58Uh...

00:36:59Uh...

00:37:00Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.

00:37:23Me neither.

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.

00:38:07Uh, 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?

00:38:24It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.

00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing.

00:38:32You 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.

00:38:40Wanna 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.

00:38:56Works for me.

00:38:57I'll be right back.

00:39:11Hey.

00:39:14Get your lead.

00:39:16Come on.

00:39:17Come on.

00:39:27She likes you, you know?

00:39:54She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.

00:39:59I like her, too.

00:40:07So, are we gonna figure out what happened?

00:40:11Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?

00:40:15Your job is not in danger.

00:40:20Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.

00:40:24What 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.

00:40:35But I also can't accept the fact that...

00:40:38Saturday 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 all of my problems, I know.

00:41:17I can't make it through.

00:41:21Every night is 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 all of my problems, I know.

00:41:35Malia, 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 I can't take Malia at all this week.

00:41:57Going to LA.

00:41:59Business trip.

00:41:59So, 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.

00:42:09Mommy loves you, Malia.

00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?

00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?

00:42:22Hey, hey.

00:42:24It's okay, Malia.

00:42:25Okay.

00:42:29Alex, 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.

00:43:20Okay, 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 a bunch of rice.

00:43:37I'm sorry.

00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.

00:43:41Oh.

00:43:46Has 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 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.

00:44:08He says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.

00:44:14Shit! I mean, shoot!

00:44:16Oh my god, Malia! Malia!

00:44:37I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

00:44:46I'm sorry.

00:44:56Better?

00:45:00Good.

00:45:05How will we order some pizza?

00:45:16Malia?

00:45:18Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?

00:45:26You can talk to me. Believe me, I understand.

00:45:33What do you mean?

00:45:36It's from surgery. I was born with a heart defect. Just like you.

00:45:43Really? I didn't know anyone was like me.

00:45:53I was born with a heart defect. Just like you.

00:45:57Really? I didn't know anyone was like me.

00:46:03What is it?

00:46:23Who is it?

00:46:24It's me.

00:46:33Makin.

00:46:34Hi.

00:46:37Hi.

00:46:39Uh, can I see Malia?

00:46:53Daddy, shh.

00:47:09It's okay, sweetie, I'm right here.

00:47:13Go back to sleep.

00:47:15Oh, stay.

00:47:19I can sleep on the couch.

00:47:21No, you stay too.

00:47:26It's alright with me.

00:47:51Where do you think you're going?

00:48:04To find Malia?

00:48:06I already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.

00:48:10We're all alone.

00:48:15What about work?

00:48:19Time off for good behavior.

00:48:32Thank you again for taking care of her.

00:48:39Wasn't a problem.

00:48:40Apparently, it is for her mother.

00:48:49Let me make it up to you.

00:48:55How are you gonna 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.

00:49:07Think there's a stranger here and still dead.

00:49:11There you have it.

00:49:12You're like the neighbors.

00:49:29You know, I think more people should try coworkers with benefits.

00:49:54So you want to tell me what happened here?

00:50:08Not really.

00:50:12Sorry, I was just curious.

00:50:18Congenital heart defect.

00:50:19You don't want to hear about it.

00:50:20It's too much.

00:50:21Too much?

00:50:22This 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 when I was a senior in high school.

00:50:45I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.

00:50:50Alex.

00:50:51Sorry.

00:50:52Way too much information.

00:50:54Especially from a fuck buddy.

00:50:55You don't need to know my sob story.

00:50:57You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.

00:51:03I know.

00:51:04She told me.

00:51:06Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.

00:51:08Look, 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.

00:51:32Truth 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.

00:51:44I'm so sorry, Lincoln.

00:51:47I'm so sorry, Lincoln.

00:51:49The only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.

00:51:55Not for me, and certainly not for her daughter.

00:51:58You 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.

00:52:15I 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?

00:52:27Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips.

00:52:30It's dangerous, and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met.

00:52:35I think you could have a case here.

00:52:37I don't know.

00:52:39I don't want to put her through that.

00:52:41I mean, making her testify against her own mother?

00:52:44I can't do that.

00:52:46I know you want what's best for Malia.

00:52:48And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.

00:52:51Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.

00:52:55And if that's money, fine.

00:52:58You 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.

00:53:18Seems like I owe you again.

00:53:23Where are you again?

00:53:27Greedy?

00:53:29I meant breakfast.

00:53:32You can cook?

00:53:34Yes, I can.

00:53:36For the right company.

00:53:37I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.

00:53:52Shit.

00:53:53Fuck.

00:53:54I'm sorry.

00:53:55I didn't mean to.

00:53:56It's okay.

00:53:57Really, it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.

00:54:01Thank you again for everything.

00:54:02I know this wasn't part of the job description.

00:54:03And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.

00:54:06Right.

00:54:07Not exactly.

00:54:08He told you all of that?

00:54:09What are you, a miracle worker?

00:54:10A saint?

00:54:12Hardly.

00:54:13Look.

00:54:14this wasn't part of the job description, and I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you

00:54:18had in mind when my dad hired you.

00:54:24Right. Not exactly.

00:54:32He told you all of that? What are you, a miracle worker? A saint?

00:54:36Hardly. Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.

00:54:45Cross my heart, hope to die.

00:54:50Your dad is paying me to do this, to help Lincoln.

00:54:56That's what a job is. You work for the company, you know that, right?

00:54:59You don't understand. Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life

00:55:05if I stuck it out as Lincoln's assistant. He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.

00:55:10By any means necessary, he said. Now that Lincoln and I are...

00:55:15Fucking like rabbits?

00:55:17Coworkers with benefits? Excuse me? It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.

00:55:25Why? Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it? Seems like a win-win to me.

00:55:30It won't feel like that if he finds out. He'll think I'm just using him.

00:55:33Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.

00:55:37Jeez, I can't keep lying to him. I think...

00:55:40I think I'm falling for him.

00:55:47So more than co-workers with benefits.

00:55:49Thanks for meeting me. I 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 life.

00:56:13Especially that one.

00:56:14What do you mean by that one?

00:56:17Alex 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.

00:56:40I want sole custody.

00:56:43This is it?

00:56:46You 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.

00:56:51I 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?

00:56:58I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...

00:57:08That girl is using you, Lakin.

00:57:14I 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...

00:57:26Is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.

00:57:32No, she wouldn't do that.

00:57:34That's not who she is.

00:57:36If you don't believe me...

00:57:38Just ask your dad.

00:57:46Is it true?

00:57:50Lakin, what are you doing here?

00:57:51Did 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?

00:58:21I 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.

00:58:27But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.

00:58:32Alex is a smart girl with a good heart.

00:58:35She cares about Malia.

00:58:38And she challenges you.

00:58:39She's fired.

00:58:42Thanks to you.

00:58:42What are you doing here?

00:59:10We need to talk.

00:59:11Oh yeah?

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, it was so fucking stupid.

00:59:25Were 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.

00:59:35And this whole time, you 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.

00:59:51And fucking me, what?

00:59:52That was just a way to ensure job security?

00:59:54That's all I am to you.

00:59:57Just a transaction?

00:59:58Of course not.

01:00:01How dare you?

01:00:03Why should I believe you?

01:00:06You know, you're just like her.

01:00:07I am not like Camilla.

01:00:11Lakin, I care about you.

01:00:13You're fired.

01:00:14And this thing between us?

01:00:16That's over too.

01:00:17No.

01:00:18No.

01:00:19No.

01:00:20No.

01:00:21No.

01:00:22No.

01:00:23No.

01:00:24No.

01:00:25No.

01:00:26No.

01:00:27No.

01:00:28No.

01:00:29No.

01:00:30No.

01:00:32No.

01:00:33No.

01:00:34No.

01:00:35No.

01:00:36No.

01:00:37No.

01:00:46Let's go.

01:01:07Rocky Road, huh?

01:01:13I've got the perfect pairing.

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...

01:01:37All right, 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,

01:01:44so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.

01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.

01:01:51You can take some time to mourn.

01:01:55I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.

01:01:59God was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.

01:02:02What's wrong with me?

01:02:17Nothing.

01:02:19Absolutely nothing.

01:02:26I'm sorry.

01:02:27I think I want to be alone tonight.

01:02:40Hey.

01:02:42Text me, okay?

01:02:44Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.

01:02:48I will.

01:02:49I promise.

01:02:51I promise.

01:03:21I promise.

01:03:22Hey, I'd like to apply for a job.

01:03:51Who needs to work here?

01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.

01:04:05You really need to give me a key.

01:04:09You want a drink?

01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?

01:04:12So I can cap it 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?

01:04:36I don't.

01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?

01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.

01:04:43What do you care?

01:04:45She's all yours now.

01:04:46Her little deal with dad is mute, and now you two can finally be together.

01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.

01:04:56Yeah.

01:04:58You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about

01:05:02his own life.

01:05:07I'm sorry.

01:05:10Really.

01:05:13I can't believe I didn't...

01:05:15Are 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.

01:05:47She'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.

01:06:02And why should I?

01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla.

01:06:10Look, it's not too late to make it right.

01:06:16Call her.

01:06:17Call her.

01:06:24Call her.

01:06:50She's a good person.

01:07:21Fuck 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?

01:07:51Pleasure 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?

01:08:30Good fucking riddance.

01:08:33I'm proud of you, son.

01:08:34It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.

01:08:38I am going to speak to the board in the morning.

01:08:41All right?

01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me,

01:08:45I have a granddaughter to comfort.

01:08:53Congrats, bro.

01:08:55Let's celebrate.

01:08:56Come on.

01:09:07We should be celebrating.

01:09:09Ding dong.

01:09:10The witch agreed to settle.

01:09:12Yeah.

01:09:14And now Malia has to live the rest of her life,

01:09:16knowing 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?

01:09:28Maybe a certain little assistant that help you get custody.

01:09:32She blocked my number.

01:09:34And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees,

01:09:37begging for her to take me back.

01:09:39It would make me look insane.

01:09:41Well, insane or romantic.

01:09:45She doesn't want to speak to me.

01:09:49And I don't blame her.

01:09:50Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back,

01:09:52but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.

01:09:58She's working here again?

01:10:01Is that why you brought me here?

01:10:03Go get her.

01:10:04Hi.

01:10:19Ready to order?

01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.

01:10:29Alex.

01:10:32Lincoln?

01:10:32Uh, what are you doing here?

01:10:36Uh, Jace brought me.

01:10:38To celebrate.

01:10:41I won full custody.

01:10:44Congratulations.

01:10:45Yeah, I, um...

01:10:47I couldn't have done it without you.

01:10:49Uh...

01:10:50Alex, I, um...

01:10:52I want to apologize.

01:10:54I made a huge mistake.

01:10:56Thanks.

01:10:57I have seen you take my break right now.

01:11:02Oh, shit.

01:11:06Are you okay?

01:11:13Help!

01:11:15Someone call 9-1-1!

01:11:17Help!

01:11:19It'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.

01:11:57Jesus.

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?

01:13:03What 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 want to feel guilty.

01:14:02Good 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.

01:14:32This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.

01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?

01:14:53It was Dad.

01:14:55You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode,

01:14:58so he's been helping out with Malia 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.

01:15:13It's done.

01:15:15I don't deserve it.

01:15:17What are you talking about?

01:15:19Look at me, Jace.

01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred.

01:15:22Why should I...

01:15:23Hi, 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.

01:15:38Jesus.

01:15:38I'm sorry.

01:15:43I didn't mean to scare you.

01:15:45Fuck.

01:15:46I'm sorry.

01:15:46I just...

01:15:51I thought you might need some help.

01:16:04Doctor said no unnecessary stress.

01:16:07Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.

01:16:09I'm sorry.

01:16:15Thank you, but I've got it from here.

01:16:17Alex.

01:16:18You're recovering from surgery.

01:16:20Let me at least help you inside.

01:16:22Malia asks about you all the time, y'all.

01:16:50She 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 just...

01:17:09I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.

01:17:12And I've just been hurt so many times.

01:17:15It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.

01:17:18What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you, do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
