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 know.
00:01:35I'm following up with New York about next month, but, uh, how do you spell rapport?
00:01:43R-A-P-P-O-R-T comes from the French rapport to, bring back, as in je rapport ses plats à la cousine,
00:01:51and 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.
00:02:14That'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.
00:02:29Oh, congrats on the degree. I can see things are really working out for you here.
00:02:33At least I know how to spell.
00:02:35Excuse 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.
00:02:49One second, sweetheart. You sure about that? Seems 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.
00:03:26Daddy.
00:03:27Honey.
00:03:27Hey.
00:03:28Okay, sit up.
00:03:31Here.
00:03:31It'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?
00:03:50I am taking you to see Dr. Schaffer right now to get you checked out.
00:03:52No, I'm fine.
00:03:53No buts, okay?
00:03:55Come on.
00:03:56Dad, can you take care of the bill?
00:03:58No.
00:03:58No.
00:03:58Please excuse my son.
00:04:12What 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.
00:04:27I learned 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.
00:04:45Oh, my God.
00:04:46You know, there's an opening at my office.
00:04:50Less footwork, better pay.
00:04:52Why don't you come and see me?
00:04:55Monday morning, all right?
00:04:56We'll have a chat.
00:04:579 a.m.
00:05:01And 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.
00:05:15Okay.
00:05:15You, what are you doing here?
00:05:29I work here.
00:05:31I didn't realize the cafeteria was hiring.
00:05:34Mr. Blanford 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.
00:05:51You know what to do.
00:06:05Yeah.
00:06:06Yeah.
00:06:06I got to go now.
00:06:10All right.
00:06:11Hello again, Alex.
00:06:15So I'll cut right to it.
00:06:19I'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.
00:06:27So, 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.
00:06:42But 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.
00:06:56And if you don't tell him the real reason why I hired you, I'll handle all those medical bills of yours.
00:07:03What do you say?
00:07:05I say, when do I start?
00:07:10Right now.
00:07:15Hmm.
00:07:16Alex, meet Lakin Blanford, the interim CEO of Blanford Corporation.
00:07:24And your 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.
00:07:46Let's get started.
00:07:53Did 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.
00:08:10Are you writing this down?
00:08:11I also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from Emilio's.
00:08:17Oh.
00:08:19And 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.
00:08:26That means you can go.
00:08:41Lakin?
00:08:42I like Lucifer.
00:08:45His bark's worse than his bite.
00:08:46Trust me.
00:08:47I'm Jace.
00:08:50Lucifer's angelic younger brother.
00:08:52You are?
00:08:53Alex.
00:08:54Lincoln's new assistant.
00:08:55And, uh, it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling.
00:09:00I've said worse.
00:09:01Your secret's safe with me.
00:09:05Alex.
00:09:06Get in here.
00:09:06We need to roll some calls to South Korea.
00:09:09You're gonna need that.
00:09:11Coming.
00:09:16We'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?
00:09:35I need solutions faster.
00:09:39Not more excuses, people.
00:09:41We're exploring alternatives.
00:09:43Nothing definitive yet.
00:09:47Um, sorry to interrupt.
00:09:52But have you considered splitting freight between Detroit and Cleveland and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow?
00:10:00Huh.
00:10:02So what, you're now an expert in freight logistics?
00:10:04Uh, no, but I 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.
00:10:23Actually, that could work.
00:10:25Worth a shot.
00:10:26I mean, obviously, my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details.
00:10:30Is there anything else I should know about my business?
00:10:34Not yet.
00:10:36Not yet.
00:10:41Uh, 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.
00:10:55Look, 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?
00:12:49Huh.
00:12:55Alex, hang on.
00:12:56Alex!
00:12:57Alex!
00:12:58Alex, wait.
00:12:58Alex!
00:12:59Alex!
00:12:59Alex!
00:12:59Alex!
00:13:05Alex, wait!
00:13:06Alex!
00:13:07Alex!
00:13:11I told you to wait.
00:13:14I'm not gonna stay here and subject myself to this bullshit any longer.
00:13:18I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:13:20I'll double your salary.
00:13:23I'll give you a four-day work week, whatever you want.
00:13:28Look, you can't leave, okay?
00:13:32I 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.
00:13:43What do I have to do to please you?
00:13:48Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:13:50It's not your fault.
00:13:54I just, uh...
00:14:04Alex, 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.
00:14:17I 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?
00:14:42You won't regret it.
00:14:48Want a bath?
00:14:49Huh.
00:14:49Sorry I'm late.
00:15:16Traffic was hell.
00:15:20A menu for you, sir.
00:15:25Hi, 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.
00:15:39It better be.
00:15:39It costs $15,000.
00:15:41We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:43Not until after I get board approval.
00:15:45I'm on.
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.
00:16:01It'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.
00:16:12It's just...
00:16:13It'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, Ms. Livingston.
00:16:39So, regarding South Korea, I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week.
00:16:42I'm working with you.
00:16:56Malia, are you listening to me?
00:17:00Sorry.
00:17:00As I was saying, where was I?
00:17:02You can just take your top off.
00:17:05Oh, my God.
00:17:06I meant you can just take it from the top.
00:17:14I gotta go.
00:17:25No soy sauce in this whole building.
00:17:27You're still here.
00:17:30That's surprising.
00:17:33You and my brother getting along better?
00:17:35Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:40So, that little argument you guys had the other day, what was that?
00:17:42A lover's quarrel?
00:17:45Look who's blushing.
00:17:46I 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.
00:18:26So, 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.
00:19:09I, I, I,
00:19:11I, I want to,
00:19:16I, I,
00:19:17I, I want to see your family.
00:19:21I, I, I,
00:19:22I, I,
00:19:30I, I want to,
00:19:32Take y 2018.
00:19:33I 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 is going to be there.
00:20:36It's easy on the drinks.
00:20:47Do as I say, not as I do.
00:20:54You ready?
00:21:01You ready?
00:21:02You ready?
00:21:05You ready?
00:21:08You ready?
00:21:14I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight, and you lied to me.
00:21:30So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight,
00:21:41and you lied to me.
00:21:46Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:51I thought only HR saw that.
00:21:55Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar.
00:21:58I think that's a very sweet name.
00:21:59I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.
00:22:06My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:11I see.
00:22:14I apologize. I didn't know.
00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:21Hey.
00:22:23Alex.
00:22:25I mean it.
00:22:28I'm sorry.
00:22:29I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:37I'll be right back.
00:22:45Look at you.
00:22:46You look stunning.
00:22:49Let's see the dress.
00:22:50Let's get to turn you and me straight.
00:22:55Picked it out just for you.
00:22:56It's perfect.
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:58For you.
00:23:18Hey, bro.
00:23:20Is that for me?
00:23:20Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:23And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:27Date?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29My guest.
00:23:30You know what I mean.
00:23:31Yeah, sure.
00:23:31I know what you mean.
00:23:32I'll take that.
00:23:33I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:34It's just a dance.
00:23:48Do not be weird about this.
00:23:50Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:51Everyone else is dancing.
00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:54And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right.
00:24:15So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:18Jace?
00:24:21Of course not.
00:24:22That was nothing.
00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:26If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:30Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:32I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's, you know.
00:24:42He's what?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind.
00:24:50So, you guys aren't that close then?
00:24:53Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:24:57If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.
00:25:02It's important to make time for family, Lincoln.
00:25:05That's none of your concern.
00:25:08Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:12It's unprofessional.
00:25:13What, this?
00:25:19This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:22Right.
00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.
00:25:27It's completely innocent.
00:25:30Hmm.
00:25:31They're rarely touching.
00:25:37Lincoln.
00:25:38Dad.
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 that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:01Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:08Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:11Oh, yes.
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:14Nice work.
00:26:14Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:18I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:30Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34I'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.
00:26:41Where's Malia?
00:26:42I got a babysitter.
00:26:43I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:51Who's this?
00:26:52Uh, no one.
00:26:53Just, uh, my assistant.
00:26:57Alex.
00:26:58Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:01As I was saying, the transit times in New York, I 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?
00:27:11Let's dance.
00:27:13Maybe later.
00:27:14These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:28What are you doing?
00:27:29Are 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 when you fucked my best friend.
00:27:40Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:42I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
00:27:44I just...
00:27:46I miss you.
00:27:49And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.
00:27:53I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:27:56For all time's sake.
00:27:57One dance.
00:28:17Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:18Doesn'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 about missing me.
00:28:44I know you.
00:28:44You want money, don't you?
00:28:47Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:52Malia's getting older.
00:28:54It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.
00:28:59We should be a family.
00:29:01We tried.
00:29:02And failed miserably.
00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla, don't.
00:29:11Kiss me.
00:29:12If you don't feel anything.
00:29:13I'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?
00:29:30Look at me.
00:29:32You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:35Because you know I will.
00:29:36Let 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.
00:29:48Right now.
00:29:48Not having any fun?
00:30:13Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:28It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:30And 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?
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:50Time to go.
00:30:58It'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.
00:31:22Okay.
00:31:22First 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?
00:31:33What?
00:31:34My title not good enough for you?
00:31:35Charming your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:37CEO this week.
00:31:39Chairman 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.
00:31:51Liar.
00:32:05Didn'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.
00:32:47Yeah.
00:32:48Dad.
00:32:51Really?
00:32:59Nah.
00:33:00Yeah.
00:33:01Thought i was fucking mad.
00:33:07Yeah.
00:33:08I don't want nobody else
00:33:11Don't let this go too late
00:33:15Don't let this go too late
00:33:16Don't let this go too late
00:33:18Don't let this go too late
00:33:38You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no
00:33:50Right, no, of course not
00:33:56Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday
00:34:08Morning
00:34:20Morning
00:34:22I can't believe I risked my job
00:34:33for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me
00:34:35It's not your fault
00:34:37Lakin 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
00:34:45Lakin's got some serious trust issues
00:34:48Like, he needs therapy about it
00:34:51Camilla really messed him up
00:34:53Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:57That bitch is a gold digger
00:34:59I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career
00:35:02Took him, like, three years to come to his senses
00:35:04And when he finally did, oh, surprise, surprise
00:35:06Guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus
00:35:10Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot
00:35:17Look, 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
00:35:29Yeah, I'm down
00:35:31Great
00:35:33Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner
00:35:54Dad insisted
00:35:56Something about never getting to see Malia these days
00:35:59I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office
00:36:03You know, like, normal business partners and not
00:36:05Family members
00:36:06Exactly
00:36:08Did you, uh, give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:18Grandpa, I told you it's me
00:36:21You, uh, you're too tall
00:36:23You know, my Malia, last time I saw her
00:36:25She was just about my knee high
00:36:27Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm, because this little woman is an imposter
00:36:33Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:49Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it!
00:36:58Uh
00:36:59Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex
00:37:23Me neither
00:37:25It's okay
00:37:36I don't like asparagus either
00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it
00:37:41Because it's healthy for me
00:37:43He's right
00:37:44It is
00:37:46Look on the bright side
00:37:47At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:50Thank you
00:37:58That was delicious
00:37:59All right
00:38:01Miss Livingston
00:38:05A word
00:38:07Uh, Mr. Blainford
00:38:16About the other night
00:38:17I know the gala was a mess with Camilla
00:38:20Alex
00:38:21I've seen a change in my son
00:38:24Really?
00:38:25It'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
00:38:36Thank 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, please, Daddy, please
00:38:51Works for me
00:38:57I'll be right back
00:39:10Hey
00:39:11Come on
00:39:14Come on
00:39:15Come on
00:39:45She likes you, you know
00:39:54She's not normally so comfortable with strangers
00:39:58I like her too
00:40:00So, are we gonna figure out what happened
00:40:10Or 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
00:40:23What 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
00:40:33But I also can't accept the fact that
00:40:38Saturday night was the last time
00:40:40That we'll ever
00:40:40I thought I did something wrong
00:40:45I want you, Alex
00:40:47That's the problem
00:40:49What if we separate church and state?
00:41:01At work, we're professional
00:41:04But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:10It's like I'm sleepwalking through
00:41:14All of my problems I know
00:41:16I can't make it through
00:41:20Every night it's the same
00:41:22I keep running fast
00:41:24Left and right
00:41:26Wondering where my head's gone now
00:41:29I'm sleepwalking through
00:41:32All of my problems I know
00:41:35Let's go, Malia, come on
00:41:43Let's go, Malia, come on
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster!
00:41:46Hey, uh...
00:41:48Lincoln's not here right now
00:41:50He just landed in New York
00:41:51New York
00:41:51I know
00:41:52But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week
00:41:56Going to LA
00:41:58Business trip
00:41:59So, she's all yours
00:42:01Oh, uh...
00:42:03I'm not really here to be childcare
00:42:04I'm sure you'll figure something out
00:42:07Mommy loves you, Malia
00:42:11I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey
00:42:23It's okay, Malia
00:42:25Alex, what's going on?
00:42:39Hey, we have a problem
00:42:40Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left
00:42:43She said she can't take care of this week after all
00:42:45What?
00:42:46Let me talk to her
00:42:47Hi, honey
00:42:53Are you okay?
00:42:54Hi
00:42:54Listen, uh...
00:42:57Mommy had to go away for a little bit
00:42:58But, uh...
00:42:59I'm going to be back tonight
00:43:00And in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:02Everything is fine
00:43:03I love you
00:43:04I love you, too
00:43:05I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this
00:43:12So much for that family time she wanted
00:43:14I will book the first flight out this evening
00:43:17Okay
00:43:18Okay, bye
00:43:20Okay, so we'll get you fed
00:43:29I can help you with your homework
00:43:31And by the time your dad gets back
00:43:33Is that too much rice?
00:43:36I'm sorry
00:43:38You have nothing to be sorry about
00:43:41Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of
00:43:51Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days
00:43:55So she can go on work trips
00:43:58Work trips
00:44:01Huh
00:44:02Does your dad know about this?
00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him
00:44:07She says it's important for girls my age
00:44:10To be able to take care of themselves
00:44:12Shit!
00:44:14I mean...
00:44:15Shoot!
00:44:16Oh my god!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:36Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry
00:44:41I didn't mean to
00:44:43Better?
00:45:00Good
00:45:00How will we order some pizza?
00:45:06Oh
00:45:06Malia?
00:45:32Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:34You can talk to me
00:45:41Believe me
00:45:43I understand
00:45:44What do you mean?
00:45:51It's from surgery
00:45:52I was born with a heart defect
00:45:55Just like you
00:45:56Really?
00:45:59I didn't know anyone was like me
00:46:02Who is it?
00:46:23It's me
00:46:24Lakin
00:46:33Hi
00:46:34Hi
00:46:37Hi
00:46:37Can I see Malia?
00:46:40Daddy.
00:47:08Daddy.
00:47:09Shh.
00:47:10It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here. Go back to sleep.
00:47:15No, stay.
00:47:19I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:21No, you stay too.
00:47:26It's alright with me.
00:47:40No, no, no.
00:48:03Where do you think you're going?
00:48:05To 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.
00:48:31Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:37It wasn't a problem.
00:48:42Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:49Let me make it up to you.
00:48:51How are you gonna do that?
00:49:03Let me show you.
00:49:04Let me show you.
00:49:05Lately feels like I've been faking.
00:49:07Think there's a stranger here instead.
00:49:10There you have it.
00:49:12At night.
00:49:14At night.
00:49:15At night.
00:49:16At night awake.
00:49:17I'm gonna escape this.
00:49:19Home.
00:49:20Time.
00:49:21Never's changing.
00:49:23Let's run away.
00:49:26You're like the neighbors.
00:49:28Somewhere away from all these nightmares.
00:49:33Where nobody can find me.
00:49:36Let's run away.
00:49:39You know, I think more people should try co-workers with benefits.
00:49:54So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:01Not really.
00:50:07Sorry, I, um, I was just curious.
00:50:14Congenital heart defect.
00:50:15You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:16It's too much.
00:50:17Too much?
00:50:18This condition.
00:50:19These bills.
00:50:20This scar.
00:50:21My parents were incredible.
00:50:22They gave up everything for me.
00:50:23They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to
00:50:25try and make my life normal.
00:50:26And now they're gone.
00:50:27Car accident.
00:50:28When I was a senior in high school.
00:50:29I begged them to have a night to themselves for once.
00:50:30And I was like, oh my god.
00:50:31I'm sorry.
00:50:32I'm sorry.
00:50:33I'm sorry.
00:50:34I'm sorry.
00:50:35I'm sorry.
00:50:36I'm sorry.
00:50:37I'm sorry.
00:50:38I'm sorry.
00:50:39I'm sorry.
00:50:40I'm sorry.
00:50:41I'm sorry.
00:50:42I'm sorry.
00:50:43I'm sorry.
00:50:44I'm sorry.
00:50:45I'm sorry.
00:50:46I'm sorry.
00:50:47I'm sorry.
00:50:48ña Tori.
00:50:49Aleks.
00:50:50Thanks.
00:50:51Katharine.
00:50:52Sorry.
00:50:53I'm sorry.
00:50:54I'm sorry.
00:50:55I got constant.
00:50:56I'm sorry.
00:50:57I'm sorry.
00:50:58There's no salah in the book.
00:50:59I can Vatican Wake is certain stories.
00:51:00Oh, look like you'll get onto all of us.
00:51:01You're honest.
00:51:02You know?
00:51:03Be so calm.
00:51:04I'm sorry.
00:51:05You're normal I can't.
00:51:06I can't.
00:51:07See you.
00:51:08I can't really talk much.
00:51:09Release.
00:51:10My phone number one.
00:51:11Mo people.
00:51:12I can't if I can't.
00:51:13I can't speak to anything.
00:51:14I can't speak to anything.
00:51:15Not?
00:51:16Mila, she took diet pills during the pregnancy, so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out in modeling gigs.
00:51:25I 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.
00:51:38I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:41Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:46I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:50The only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.
00:51:55Not for me, and certainly not for her daughter.
00:52:00She's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt, abandoning her daughter like that, it's...
00:52:06Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:10I want to, but it's too risky.
00:52:13The courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:14I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:17They don't always...
00:52:21Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:25What did she say to you?
00:52:27Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips.
00:52:31It's dangerous, and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met.
00:52:35I think you could have a case here.
00:52:36I don't know.
00:52:37I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:40I mean, making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:43I can't do that.
00:52:45I know you want what's best for Malia, and sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:52Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:54And if that's money, fine.
00:52:56You have it.
00:52:59Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.
00:53:02You're right.
00:53:04Malia deserves better.
00:53:05I will talk to her this week.
00:53:17Malia seems like I owe you again.
00:53:26Greedy?
00:53:28I meant breakfast.
00:53:31You can cook?
00:53:33Yes, I can.
00:53:35For the right company.
00:53:36I should have known someone near Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:53:59Shit, fuck, I'm sorry.
00:54:01I didn't mean to.
00:54:03It's okay.
00:54:04Really, it's...
00:54:06Actually, kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:54:11Thank you again for everything.
00:54:13I know this wasn't part of the job description.
00:54:16And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:24Right.
00:54:25Not exactly.
00:54:32He told you all of that?
00:54:33What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:35A saint?
00:54:36Hardly.
00:54:39Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:46Cross my heart, hope to die.
00:54:47Your dad is paying me to do this, to help Lakin.
00:54:56That's what a job is.
00:54:57You work for the company.
00:54:58You know that, right?
00:54:59You don't understand.
00:55:01Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant.
00:55:07He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla by any means necessary, he said.
00:55:12Now that Lakin and I are fucking like rabbits.
00:55:16Coworkers with benefits?
00:55:16Coworkers with benefits, excuse me?
00:55:20It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:23Why?
00:55:24Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:28It seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:29It 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.
00:55:37Chase, I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:39I think, I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:47So more than coworkers with benefits.
00:55:58Thanks for meeting me.
00:56:00I wanted to talk to you about...
00:56:02Your new girlfriend?
00:56:03What?
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.
00:56:15What 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?
00:56:22She's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been, which is actually why I'm here.
00:56:37Enough is enough.
00:56:39Enough is enough.
00:56:41I 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.
00:57:15I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:21What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:24The only reason why she's working for you...
00:57:27is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.
00:57:32No, she wouldn't do that. That's not who she is.
00:57:36If you don't believe me...
00:57:38Just ask your dad.
00:57:48Is it true?
00:57:50Lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:52Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:58It was for your own good.
00:57:59Do not give me that father-knows-best routine.
00:58:02This is a complete betrayal of my trust.
00:58:04Your personal issues were affecting not only the business, but our family.
00:58:08That is absurd. This has nothing to do with the company.
00:58:11Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader.
00:58:17As it does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:21So what? I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?
00:58:24That is bullshit.
00:58:25My love life is none of your business.
00:58:27But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:58:32Alex is a smart girl with a good heart.
00:58:34She cares about Malia.
00:58:38And she challenges you.
00:58:40She is fired.
00:58:41Thanks to you.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:44What 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?
00:59:55That's all I am to you.
00:59:57Just a transaction?
00:59:58Of course not.
00:59:59I...
00:59:59How dare you?
01:00:03Why should I believe you?
01:00:06You know, you're just like her.
01:00:08I am not like Camilla.
01:00:11Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:13You're fired.
01:00:14And this thing between us, that's over too.
01:00:17No.
01:00:32Let's go.
01:00:47Let's go.
01:00:47Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:13I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:15You're going to let me in or what?
01:01:23You 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 you.
01:01:37All right, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:40Have you left your house yet?
01:01:41Well, I'm going to try and get my old job back, so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same days a lot.
01:01:51You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:55I 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'm going 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.
01:02:50I promise.
01:02:51I promise.
01:02:51I promise.
01:02:58I won't.
01:03:18So,
01:03:19I promise.
01:03:20I promise.
01:03:24I promise.
01:03:25Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:52I used to work here.
01:03:53Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:01You really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12So I can cap it to the left.
01:04:21Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:23You can'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 his own life.
01:05:02I'm sorry.
01:05:07I'm sorry.
01:05:10Really.
01:05:12I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:15Are you good?
01:05:19I'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.
01:06:02And why should I?
01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:06Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:12Call her.
01:06:17Call her.
01:06:17Call her.
01:06:17Call her.
01:06:42Call her.
01:06:43Call her.
01:06:44Call her.
01:06:44Call her.
01:06:45Call her.
01:06:46Call her.
01:06:47Call her.
01:06:47Call her.
01:06:48Call her.
01:06:49Call her.
01:06:49Call her.
01:06:50Call her.
01:06:51Call her.
01:06:52Call her.
01:06:53Call her.
01:06:54Call her.
01:06:55Call her.
01:06:56Call her.
01:06:57Call her.
01:06:58Call her.
01:06:59Call her.
01:07:00Call her.
01:07:01Call her.
01:07:02Call her.
01:07:03Call her.
01:07:04Call her.
01:07:05Call her.
01:07:06Call her.
01:07:07Call her.
01:07:08Call her.
01:07:09Call her.
01:07:10Call her.
01:07:11Fuck him.
01:07:33So, that's $250,000 a year?
01:07:37Every year?
01:07:38Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:40So, 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.
01:08:10You 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.
01:08:41All right?
01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:53Congrats, bro.
01:08:54Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Let's celebrate.
01:09:02Come on.
01:09:07We should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11Yeah.
01:09:13And now Malia has to live the rest of her life, knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:20On 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.
01:11:02Alex.
01:11:02Alex, here.
01:11:05I, I, I, I, I.
01:11:11You okay?
01:11:13Okay.
01:11:14Whoa!
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 she's in critical condition,
01:11:51they're going to operate tomorrow,
01:11:53and 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.
01:12:13And now Alex could...
01:12:16She could...
01:12:17Hey, stop.
01:12:18Don't talk like that.
01:12:40Lakin.
01:12:41Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:45Jesus Christ.
01:12:47I was so worried, I 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?
01:13:06I'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.
01:13:26You are not a burden.
01:13:28I don't think that.
01:13:29I want you to go.
01:13:30I want you to go.
01:13:31I want you to go.
01:14:02Morning, 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.
01:14:54You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Mulya while they can watch us over you here.
01:15:01Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:04Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:08He shouldn't have.
01:15:09You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:11Dad was good for it.
01:15:13It's done.
01:15:13I 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...
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:26You deserve love.
01:15:29It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:32Jesus.
01:15:56Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:59Fuck.
01:16:00I'm sorry.
01:16:01I just...
01:16:02I thought you might need some help.
01:16:04Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:07Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:13Sorry.
01:16:14Thank 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.
01:16:22Okay.
01:16:44Malia asks about you all the time.
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 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.
01:20:56a new mom.
01:20:58Just like that.
01:21:01I can't do it.
01:21:02I know.
01:21:03What the show?
01:21:11I know.
01:21:15I don't...
01:21:15I...
01:21:15I...
01:21:15I...
01:21:16I...
01:21:16I...
01:21:17I...
01:21:17I...
01:21:17I...
01:21:18I...
01:21:18I...
01:21:18I...
01:21:19I...
01:21:19So come with us, don't hold back
01:21:24And I don't have disguise
01:21:28So come with us, don't hold back
