Transcript

00:00:00I'd like to offer you an executive assistant position.

00:00:03I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.

00:00:05Think of yourself as a fixer.

00:00:09What are you doing here?

00:00:10I work here.

00:00:11Must be a pity hire.

00:00:13Better than daddy buying my position for me.

00:00:15Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two.

00:00:18This girl is overstepping.

00:00:19You fire her and the ward will find another CEO.

00:00:23I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.

00:00:25I need you to stay.

00:00:26It's just a dance.

00:00:27Do not be weird about this.

00:00:29And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?

00:00:33Right.

00:00:40I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.

00:00:44Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.

00:00:50It's not easy on her poor little heart.

00:00:52She likes you, you know?

00:00:53She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.

00:00:56That girl is using you, Lincoln.

00:00:59The only reason why she's working for you

00:01:01is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills

00:01:03if she kept you away from me.

00:01:05I can't keep lying to him.

00:01:07I think I'm falling for him.

00:01:08And she's eating for her

00:01:16You're going to go.

00:01:21I'm going to let them do this.

00:01:26You're going to let them.

00:08:48his bark's worse than his bite trust me

00:08:50i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are alex lincoln's new assistant and uh

00:08:59it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling

00:09:04i've said worse your secret's safe with me

00:09:08alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea

00:09:11you're gonna need that

00:09:15coming

00:09:19we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure

00:09:23it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down

00:09:29operation times and shifting our operations to detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford right

00:09:36now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate i need solutions faster not more excuses people

00:09:44we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet

00:09:51um sorry to interrupt

00:09:56but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail contracts

00:10:02to offset the overflow

00:10:05so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics

00:10:09uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but

00:10:16cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure

00:10:21it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely

00:10:26actually that could work

00:10:28worth a shot

00:10:30i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details

00:10:35is there anything else i should know about my business

00:10:39not yet

00:10:45uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all

00:10:51alex has to go absolutely not she stays look dad i understand that i've been through an assistant

00:11:01or two seven this year this girl is overstepping she's jumping on executive leadership calls yes she

00:11:08was right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my position

00:11:13with the board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job

00:11:18like a good leader isn't threatened by his employees threatened i am not threatened by her

00:11:24but she makes it look like i've lost control well the board already thinks you've lost control

00:11:29this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak

00:11:35you have to keep alex

00:11:39what are you saying you fire her and the board will find another ceo

00:21:13We're at the same time.

00:21:16We're here.

00:21:18So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight and you lied to me.

00:21:48Your name's not Alexandra, is it?

00:21:54I thought only HR saw that.

00:21:56Oh, don't be embarrassed, Sugar. I think that's a very sweet name.

00:22:02I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.

00:22:08My parents were the only ones who called me that.

00:22:12I see.

00:22:16I apologize. I didn't know. I didn't mean to upset you.

00:22:22Hey, Alex.

00:22:28I mean, I'm sorry.

00:22:32I think I owe you a drink. I'll be right back.

00:22:40Look at you. You look stunning.

00:22:50Let's see the dress.

00:22:52Let's get to turn even me straight.

00:22:56Picked it out just for you.

00:22:58It's perfect.

00:23:00Let me have this dance, my lady.

00:23:04We always wanna put our camera in touch

00:23:08It's just the way of number letting it go

00:23:12Why do we feel like we're not good enough

00:23:16Why do we lose all of this camera in touch

00:23:20For you?

00:23:22Hey, bro. Is that for me?

00:23:24Get your own drink, bro.

00:23:26And maybe your own date while you're at it.

00:23:30Dane?

00:23:31I knew it.

00:23:32Uh, my guest. You know what I mean.

00:23:34Yeah, sure. I know what you mean.

00:23:36I'll take that. I'll leave you guys to it.

00:23:50It's just a dance. Do not be weird about this.

00:23:52Oh, I'm being weird?

00:23:54Everyone else is dancing.

00:23:56It would look strange if we didn't.

00:23:58And besides,

00:24:00it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?

00:24:04Right.

00:24:06So, something going on between you and my brother?

00:24:22Jase?

00:24:24Of course not. That was nothing.

00:24:26It didn't look like nothing.

00:24:28If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.

00:24:32Don't be ridiculous.

00:24:35I'm just looking out for my assistant.

00:24:39Well, I doubt he's interested. He's, you know...

00:24:45He's what?

00:24:47You don't know?

00:24:51Never mind.

00:24:53So, you guys aren't that close then?

00:24:56Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.

00:25:00If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.

00:25:04It's important to make time for family, Lakin.

00:25:08That's none of your concern.

00:25:10Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.

00:25:14It's unprofessional.

00:25:16What? This?

00:25:18This is just two co-workers dancing.

00:25:24Right. A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.

00:25:30It's completely innocent.

00:25:32Hmm.

00:25:34We're rarely touching.

00:25:36Lakin.

00:25:38Dad.

00:25:40Well, some of our board members are already here. I need you to make your rounds.

00:25:52Miss Livingston?

00:25:54Shall we?

00:26:00Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.

00:26:05Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lakin.

00:26:11Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.

00:26:14Oh, yes. Detroit and Cleveland. Nice work.

00:26:18Yes, and we're also improving transit times. I'll actually be in New York next week.

00:26:23Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.

00:26:38I like it.

00:26:39What are you doing here?

00:26:41I just thought I'd stop by.

00:26:42I thought you could use the moral support.

00:26:44Where's Malia?

00:26:46I got a babysitter.

00:26:48I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.

00:26:52Who's this?

00:26:56Uh, no one.

00:26:57Just, uh, my assistant.

00:27:01Alex.

00:27:02Nice to meet you, Alice.

00:27:05As I was saying, the transit time's in New York.

00:27:08Oh, come on, Lakin.

00:27:10Don't be a bore. It's a party.

00:27:12No one wants to talk about business.

00:27:14Am I right?

00:27:16Let's dance.

00:27:17Maybe later. These gentlemen are on the board.

00:27:20You don't mind if I steal them, do you?

00:27:33What are you doing?

00:27:34Are you drunk? The whole office is here.

00:27:36You never have any time together.

00:27:38And there's a reason for that, Camilla.

00:27:40We're not together anymore.

00:27:42You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.

00:27:45Oh, come on, Lakin.

00:27:47I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.

00:27:49I just...

00:27:51I miss you.

00:27:53And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.

00:27:57I was hoping you'd dance with me.

00:28:01For old time's sake.

00:28:05One dance.

00:28:06One dance.

00:28:07One dance.

00:28:08One dance.

00:28:09One dance.

00:28:10Two dance.

00:28:11One dance.

00:28:12One dance.

00:28:13One dance.

00:28:22Excuse me, gentlemen.

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

00:28:29Guys, I know you miss this.

00:28:37This is a work event, Camilla.

00:28:40Facts leak in, so tense.

00:28:43I could fix that, you know.

00:28:46What do you want, hmm?

00:28:48And don't give me some bullshit about missing me.

00:28:51I know you.

00:28:52You want money, don't you?

00:28:54Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?

00:28:57Okay, Malia's getting older.

00:29:01It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.

00:29:05We should be a family.

00:29:08We tried and failed miserably.

00:29:11I can't be with you, Camilla.

00:29:13Are you sure about that?

00:29:16Camilla, don't.

00:29:18Kiss me.

00:29:19If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.

00:29:26Stop.

00:29:27Jesus.

00:29:31Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.

00:29:34Lincoln, are you listening to me?

00:29:40Look at me.

00:29:41You don't want me to make a scene, do you?

00:29:44Because you know I will.

00:29:47Let me make something very clear to you.

00:29:50We are never getting back together, Camilla.

00:29:52You hear me?

00:29:53Never.

00:29:54Now, you need to go.

00:29:55But...

00:29:57Right now.

00:29:57Not having any fun?

00:30:27It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?

00:30:43And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.

00:30:46And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.

00:30:49So it's last call, right?

00:30:53I go up to the bar looking for this guy, Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.

00:30:56Oh my god, stop!

00:31:01Something funny?

00:31:05Time to go.

00:31:06It's okay.

00:31:10Arturo, take Miss Livingston home.

00:31:21You're being incredibly rude, you know that?

00:31:23You're getting wasted at a company party.

00:31:26It's totally inappropriate.

00:31:28Don't you inappropriate me!

00:31:30Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole, you made out in front of everyone!

00:31:33Okay, first of all, she's my ex.

00:31:36And second of all, I can do whatever I want.

00:31:38I'm a CEO.

00:31:39Interrupt.

00:31:40Right.

00:31:41Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?

00:31:44What, my title not good enough for you?

00:31:46Charm your way up the corporate ladder?

00:31:48CEO this week, chairman the next.

00:31:51Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.

00:31:53What do you care anyway?

00:31:54I thought you weren't attracted to me.

00:31:56I'm not.

00:31:57Oh yeah?

00:31:58Yeah.

00:31:59Liar.

00:32:00Didn't expect you to have tattoos.

00:32:15Yeah, well there's a lot you don't know about me.

00:32:31That cost $8,000.

00:32:39Yeah, my fucking money.

00:32:43Now get the hell over here.

00:32:51Is that a scar?

00:32:54It's odd.

00:32:58Fuck me.

00:32:59Fuck me.

00:33:04Fuck me.

00:33:17Fuck me.

00:33:24I don't know.

00:33:54I don't know.

00:34:24I don't know.

00:34:54I don't know.

00:34:55Right.

00:34:56No.

00:34:57Of course not.

00:35:00Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.

00:35:06I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't know what to do.

00:35:16I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.

00:35:37I don't know.

00:35:38It's not your fault.

00:35:39Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?

00:35:41Me.

00:35:42Dad.

00:35:43I've seen how he is with Malia and...

00:35:45She's a soft spot.

00:35:47Laken's got some serious trust issues.

00:35:50Like, he needs therapy about it.

00:35:53Camilla really messed him up.

00:35:55Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?

00:35:59That bitch is a gold digger.

00:36:01I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.

00:36:04It took him like three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did, oh, surprise,

00:36:08surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?

00:36:10Jesus.

00:36:12Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.

00:36:17It sounds like he's been through a lot.

00:36:23Look, I gotta run to a meeting.

00:36:26How about you come over for dinner tonight?

00:36:29Seven?

00:36:30I'll text you the details.

00:36:32Yeah, I'm down.

00:36:34Great.

00:36:40I can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.

00:36:57Dad insisted.

00:36:59Something about never getting to see Malia these days.

00:37:02I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.

00:37:05You know, like normal business partners and not...

00:37:07Family members.

00:37:09Exactly.

00:37:14Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?

00:37:21Grandpa, I told you it's me.

00:37:23You?

00:37:24Ah, you're too tall.

00:37:25No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.

00:37:30Has anybody seen my granddaughter?

00:37:32Hmm.

00:37:33Cause this little woman is an imposter.

00:37:35Hehehehe.

00:37:36Are we expecting company?

00:37:38Tell him to send an extra plate.

00:37:52Alex?

00:37:53Lincoln?

00:37:54You made it!

00:37:57I didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.

00:37:59What?

00:38:00I didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.

00:38:01I didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.

00:38:02Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.

00:38:27Me neither.

00:38:32It's okay, I don't like asparagus either.

00:38:42My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.

00:38:46He's right.

00:38:47It is.

00:38:48Look on the bright side, at least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?

00:39:01That was delicious.

00:39:03All right.

00:39:04Oh, Miss Livingston, a word.

00:39:17Uh, Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.

00:39:23Alex, I've seen a change in my son.

00:39:27Really?

00:39:28It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.

00:39:31Keep doing what you're doing.

00:39:34You planned this, didn't you?

00:39:36I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.

00:39:40Thank you, Jace.

00:39:41You're very welcome.

00:39:42Jace, don't...

00:39:42Bye.

00:39:44Wanna watch Disney with us?

00:39:47Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?

00:39:50But I wanna hang out with Alex.

00:39:52Alex, please, Daddy, please.

00:39:59Works for me.

00:40:12I'll be right back.

00:40:14Hey.

00:40:16Come on.

00:40:17I can chill, bud.

00:40:19Come on.

00:40:20Come on.

00:40:50She likes you, you know?

00:40:59She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.

00:41:02I like her, too.

00:41:10So, are we gonna figure out what happened?

00:41:14Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?

00:41:16Your job is not in danger.

00:41:23Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.

00:41:26What do you want me to say, Alex?

00:41:30I...

00:41:30I can't get involved with my assistant.

00:41:34Not with the board watching my every move.

00:41:36I...

00:41:37But I also can't accept the fact that...

00:41:42Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...

00:41:44I thought I did something wrong.

00:41:48I want you, Alex.

00:41:50That's the problem.

00:41:52That's the problem.

00:41:59What if we separate church and state?

00:42:04At work, we're professional.

00:42:08But outside of work, we're...

00:42:11Unprofessional?

00:42:12I think the light is like...

00:42:14I'm asleep walking through

00:42:17All of my problems, I know

00:42:20I can't make it through

00:42:23Every night is the same

00:42:26I keep running fast

00:42:27Left and right

00:42:29Wondering where my head's gone now

00:42:32I'm asleep walking through

00:42:35All of my problems, I know

00:43:05Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be child care.

00:43:09I'm sure you'll figure something out.

00:43:13Mommy loves you, Malia.

00:43:17I'll see you in two weeks, okay?

00:43:23Why doesn't you want to be with me?

00:43:26Hey, hey, it's okay, Malia.

00:43:35Alex, what's going on?

00:43:43Hey, we have a problem.

00:43:44Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.

00:43:47She said she can't take care of this week after all.

00:43:49What?

00:43:50Let me talk to her.

00:43:56Hi, honey. Are you okay?

00:43:58Hi.

00:43:59Listen, uh, Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...

00:44:03I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime,

00:44:04Alex is going to take care of you, okay?

00:44:06Everything is fine.

00:44:07I love you.

00:44:08I love you, too.

00:44:14I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.

00:44:17So much for that family time she wanted.

00:44:19I will book the first flight out this evening.

00:44:22Okay.

00:44:23Okay. Bye.

00:44:33Okay, so we'll get you fed.

00:44:34I can help you with your homework,

00:44:36and by the time your dad gets back,

00:44:39send you a rice.

00:44:41I'm sorry.

00:44:44You have nothing to be sorry about.

00:44:50Has your mom done this before?

00:44:55Sort of.

00:44:56Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends

00:44:59for a few days,

00:45:00so she can go on work trips.

00:45:05Work trips.

00:45:06Huh.

00:45:08Does your dad know about this?

00:45:10I'm not supposed to tell him.

00:45:13She says it's important for girls my age

00:45:15to be able to take care of themselves.

00:45:19Shit!

00:45:19I mean, shoot!

00:45:20Shoot!

00:51:19i was just curious

00:51:21congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much

00:51:26too much

00:51:27this condition these bills this scar

00:51:32my parents were incredible

00:51:34they gave up everything for me

00:51:37they drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try

00:51:41and make my life normal

00:51:43and now they're gone

00:51:45car accident when i was a senior in high school

00:51:49i begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then

00:51:54alex

00:51:55sorry way too much information

00:51:58especially from a fuck buddy you don't need to know my sob story

00:52:02you know that malia's heart condition is congenital

00:52:08i know

00:52:09she told me

00:52:11yeah well she doesn't know everything

00:52:16look i've never told anybody this but

00:52:20malia was born with her defect because camilla

00:52:24she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out in modeling gigs

00:52:30i only found out before it was too late

00:52:33oh my god

00:52:36it's terrible

00:52:37truth is

00:52:39she never really wanted to have a baby

00:52:42i did

00:52:44i was the one who wanted us to be a happy family

00:52:47turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket

00:52:52i'm so sorry leakin

00:52:56the only reason she wants to get back together

00:52:58is for the money

00:53:01not for me and certainly not for a daughter

00:53:04you know she's always been irresponsible but this latest stunt

00:53:09you know abandoning her daughter like that

00:53:13have you thought about pursuing sole custody

00:53:15i want to but it's too risky

00:53:18the courts usually side with the mother i i can't risk losing my daughter

00:53:23they don't always

00:53:24well yeah told me this wasn't the first time camilla's done something like this

00:53:31what did she say to you

00:53:33camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips it's dangerous and clearly her

00:53:38emotional needs aren't being met i think you could have a case here i don't know

00:53:42i don't want to put her through that i mean making her testify against her own mother

00:53:49i can't do that i know you want what's best for malia and sharing her with camilla isn't it

00:53:56maybe you should just give camilla what she really wants and if that's money fine you have it

00:54:05malia deserves people in her life who care about her you're right malia deserves better

00:54:11i will talk to her i will talk to her this week

00:54:23thank you

00:54:28seems like i owe you again

00:54:32greedy i meant breakfast

00:54:35you can cook yes i can for the right company

00:54:51tada

00:55:00i should have known someone near sugar would have such a sweet tooth

00:55:05shit fuck i'm sorry i didn't mean to

00:55:09it's okay really it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again

00:55:17thank you again for everything i know this wasn't part of the job description

00:55:22and i'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you

00:55:25great not exactly

00:55:38he told you all of that what are you a miracle worker a saint hardly

00:55:43look if i tell you something you promise not to say anything to anyone

00:55:52cross my inner hope to die

00:55:57your dad is paying me to do this to help lakin

00:56:02that's what a job is you work for the company you know that right you don't understand your dad offered

00:56:07to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if i stuck it out as lakin's assistant

00:56:14he wanted me to keep him away from camilla

00:56:16by any means necessary he said

00:56:20now that lakin and i are

00:56:21fucking like rabbits

00:56:23co-workers with benefits excuse me

00:56:27it just it seems wrong not to tell him

00:56:29why because you're helping him get his together and getting paid for it seems like a win-win to me

00:56:36it won't feel like that if he finds out he'll think i'm just using him well maybe he doesn't have

00:56:41to find out chase i can't keep lying to him i think i think i'm falling for him

00:56:49so more than co-workers with benefits

00:57:05thanks for meeting me i wanted to talk to you about your new girlfriend

00:57:10what i know all about your little sleepover you know i'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing

00:57:17another woman into our daughter's life especially that one what do you mean by that one alex actually

00:57:24stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in la it was a work trip oh really

00:57:39she's already proven to be way better at taking care of malia than you've ever been

00:57:42which is actually why i'm here enough is enough i want sole custody

00:57:50this is it you want to break up our family for that lying you don't want a family you just want

00:57:57my money i see right through you camilla you think i want money how much do you know about your little

00:58:03assistant what do you mean i hate to be the one to tell you this but that girl is using you lakin

00:58:21i overheard jason her laughing about it in the break room earlier today

00:58:25what do you mean she's using me the only reason why she's working for you

00:58:33is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me

00:58:39no she wouldn't do that that's not who she is if you don't believe me just ask your dad

00:58:46is it true lakin what are you doing here did you hire alex in order to keep tabs on me

00:59:05it was for your own good do not give me that father knows best routine

00:59:09this is a complete betrayal of my trust your personal issues were affecting not only the business

00:59:14but our family that is absurd this has nothing to do with the company your inability to cut camilla

00:59:20from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader as it does the way you've

00:59:25closed yourself off from any connection romantic or so what i i can't be ceo if i don't open my heart

00:59:31that is bullshit my love life is none of your business but the well-being of my granddaughter still is

00:59:37this alex is a smart girl with a good heart she cares about malia and she challenges you she's fired thanks to you

00:59:59what are you doing here we need to talk we are you want to explain what you were doing with your ex

01:00:23looking like you're getting back together is that why you haven't gotten custody of malia because you

01:00:29still love her god it was so stupid were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad

01:00:37god alex i trusted you i i told you things that i've never even told my family and this whole time

01:00:45you were just in it for the money i that was before anything happened between us lincoln i couldn't

01:00:54say no that the kind of money you know my situation but i never meant to hurt you and

01:00:59me what that was just a way to ensure job security that's all i am to you just a transaction of course not

01:01:07how dare you why should i believe you you know you're just like her i am not like camilla lincoln

01:01:19i care about you you're fired and this thing between us that's over too

01:02:25You gonna let me in or what?

01:02:31You are out of your mind.

01:02:33Showing up here is insane.

01:02:37I don't.

01:02:39I've changed.

01:02:41I've heard that before.

01:02:43God, it turns me on when you act like...

01:02:45Alright, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.

01:02:47Have you left your house yet?

01:02:49Well, I'm gonna try and get my old job back

01:02:51so I'll probably be out of the house

01:02:53five days a week.

01:02:55Girl, losing your job and getting dumped

01:02:57on the same day is a lot.

01:02:59You can take some time to mourn.

01:03:03I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.

01:03:07I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.

01:03:19What's wrong with me?

01:03:23Nothing.

01:03:25Absolutely nothing.

01:03:33I'm sorry.

01:03:35I just...

01:03:37I think I want to be alone tonight.

01:03:41Hey.

01:03:47Text me, okay?

01:03:49Just because we don't work together

01:03:51doesn't mean we're not friends.

01:03:53We will.

01:03:55I promise.

01:03:57I promise.

01:03:59Wait.

01:04:01Wait.

01:04:03Wait.

01:04:19Wait.

01:04:27Wait.

01:04:29Hey, um,

01:04:58I'd like to apply for a job.

01:05:00I used to work here.

01:05:02Hey kid, come on man, open up.

01:05:12You really need to give me a key.

01:05:16You want a drink?

01:05:18Yeah, where are your glasses?

01:05:20Second cabinet to the left.

01:05:29Heard you broke up with Alex.

01:05:33Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.

01:05:36We were just fucking and now we're not.

01:05:39I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.

01:05:44I don't.

01:05:45Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?

01:05:49Very dramatic by the way.

01:05:51What do you care?

01:05:53She's all yours now.

01:05:54Her little deal with dad is mute.

01:05:56And now you two can finally be together.

01:05:58Jesus Christ, Lincoln, I'm gay.

01:06:04Yeah.

01:06:07You're always so wrapped up in your own shit,

01:06:08you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.

01:06:16I'm sorry.

01:06:19Really.

01:06:21I can't believe I didn't...

01:06:26Are you good?

01:06:27Are you good?

01:06:32I'm good.

01:06:45Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.

01:06:50But you're always flirting with her, Alex.

01:06:52I was trying to light a fire under your ass.

01:06:55She's a good person, Lincoln.

01:06:58She cares about you.

01:07:00A lot.

01:07:03She hated the deal.

01:07:04She hated lying to you.

01:07:06She knew you wouldn't trust her.

01:07:11And why should I?

01:07:13Cause not everyone's Camilla.

01:07:19Look, it's not too late to make it right.

01:07:24Call her.

01:07:25Call her.

01:07:26Call her.

01:07:32Ah...

01:07:49Well...

01:07:50Oh

01:08:20Fuck him.

01:08:43So, that's $250,000 a year?

01:08:47Every year?

01:08:48Until Malia's 18th birthday.

01:08:51So, in nine more years then?

01:08:54Eight.

01:08:55You don't even know how old your daughter is?

01:09:16Pleasure doing business with you.

01:09:18You don't want to say goodbye?

01:09:24She's upstairs waiting.

01:09:26I can't.

01:09:27I have a flight to Miami in an hour.

01:09:29Give her a kiss for me, will you?

01:09:30Good fucking riddance.

01:09:43I'm proud of you, son.

01:09:46It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.

01:09:48I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?

01:09:53If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.

01:10:04Congrats, bro.

01:10:05Let's celebrate.

01:10:07Come on, we should be celebrating.

01:10:21Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.

01:10:23And now Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.

01:10:31On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.

01:10:35You're going to be CEO in a month.

01:10:37What else could you want?

01:10:38Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody.

01:10:44She blocked my number.

01:10:46And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.

01:10:51That would make me look insane.

01:10:53Well, insane or romantic.

01:10:58She doesn't want to speak to me.

01:11:01And I don't blame her.

01:11:02Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back.

01:11:04But I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.

01:11:10She's working here again?

01:11:13Is that why you brought me here?

01:11:15Go get her.

01:11:27Hi.

01:11:31Ready to order?

01:11:32I'll come back in a few more minutes.

01:11:41Alex.

01:11:43Lincoln?

01:11:46What are you doing here?

01:11:49Jace brought me to celebrate.

01:11:53I won full custody.

01:11:56Congratulations.

01:11:56Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.

01:12:01Uh.

01:12:02Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.

01:12:06I made a huge mistake.

01:12:08Thanks.

01:12:09I actually need to take my break right now.

01:12:16Oh, okay.

01:12:22You okay?

01:12:24Okay.

01:12:26Whoa.

01:12:28Someone call 911.

01:12:30Help.

01:12:31It's okay.

01:12:32It's okay.

01:12:32Any update?

01:12:56There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but

01:12:58the doctor said that she's in critical condition,

01:13:04they're going to operate tomorrow,

01:13:05and then her chances are 50-50.

01:13:09Jesus.

01:13:11Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.

01:13:16The stress that I fucking caused her.

01:13:20And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't help either.

01:13:22I should have just left her alone.

01:13:24It's not your fault, Lincoln.

01:13:25And now Alex could...

01:13:29She could...

01:13:30Hey, stop.

01:13:31Don't talk like that.

01:13:52I like it.

01:13:56Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.

01:13:58Jesus Christ.

01:14:00I was so worried.

01:14:01I thought...

01:14:02I thought that I might have lost you.

01:14:09I'm fine.

01:14:12You should leave.

01:14:13What?

01:14:15What are you talking about?

01:14:17Lincoln, why are you here?

01:14:19I'm here because I care about you.

01:14:20Because...

01:14:21Because you feel guilty.

01:14:24This is what you do.

01:14:25You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.

01:14:28No.

01:14:29It's not like that.

01:14:30I don't want to be your charity case, Lincoln.

01:14:34I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.

01:14:37You are not a burden.

01:14:41I don't think that.

01:14:43I'd like you to go.

01:14:44Come on.

01:15:14Good morning, sleepyhead.

01:15:34It's good to see you awake.

01:15:36You had me worried there for a minute.

01:15:42I got you something.

01:15:44This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.

01:16:03Where did all the flowers come from?

01:16:06It was Dad.

01:16:07You feel horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Malia while they can watch us over you here.

01:16:14Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.

01:16:17Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.

01:16:21He shouldn't have.

01:16:22You made a deal, Alex.

01:16:24Dad was good for it.

01:16:26It's done.

01:16:26I don't deserve it.

01:16:30What are you talking about?

01:16:32Look at me, Jace.

01:16:34I'm literally fucking scarred.

01:16:35Why should I...

01:16:36Hey, Alex.

01:16:39You deserve love.

01:16:42It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.

01:16:45Jesus.

01:17:09Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

01:17:12Fuck.

01:17:13I'm sorry.

01:17:14I just...

01:17:15I thought you might need some help.

01:17:18Doctor said no unnecessary stress.

01:17:20Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.

01:17:27Sorry.

01:17:27Thank you, but I've got it from here.

01:17:30Alex, you're recovering from surgery.

01:17:33Let me at least help you inside.

01:17:35Okay.

01:17:57Malia asks about you all the time, you know.

01:18:04She misses you.

01:18:06Everyone misses you.

01:18:07My dad, Jace, and me.

01:18:16It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.

01:18:20I can see that now.

01:18:22I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.

01:18:25And I've just been hurt so many times.

01:18:28It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.

01:18:36What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you,

01:18:41do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?

01:18:46They lost everything they had because of me.

01:18:48Hey, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again,

01:18:52they would do it exactly the same?

01:18:53That's not sacrifice.

01:18:57That's love.

01:19:00I've been thinking about it a lot.

01:19:03About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.

01:19:06I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.

01:19:12But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me,

01:19:16is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.

01:19:24It is simply because you love them.

01:19:30Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.

01:19:43I can't stop.

01:19:46It's true.

01:19:49And since you clearly don't believe me,

01:19:52I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.

01:19:56Prove it?

01:19:57How?

01:19:57Is that a...

01:20:07Scars.

01:20:09Just like yours.

01:20:13Are those tattoos?

01:20:14I wanted it to be permanent.

01:20:19I love you, Alex.

01:20:22I love every single perfect inch of you.

01:20:29Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?

01:20:34Please.

01:20:35I love you, too.

01:20:40I love you, too.

01:21:05What are you doing next week?

01:21:09I want to take you to a party.

01:21:13Another gala?

01:21:15Something like that.

01:21:17And you know the guest of honor very well.

01:21:21Who is it?

01:21:23You'll see.

01:21:30Happy birthday, dear Malia.

01:21:35Happy birthday to you.

01:21:47What'd you wish for?

01:21:49A new mommy.

01:21:53One step at a time, sweetheart.

01:21:58I got you something.

01:22:01It might not be the biggest present you get,

01:22:03but I think you'll like it.

01:22:06I have one, too.

01:22:09Just like you.

01:22:11I'm sorry.

01:22:12I'm sorry.

01:22:13I'm sorry.

01:22:14I'm sorry.

01:22:15I'm sorry.

01:22:16I'm sorry.

01:22:17I'm sorry.

01:22:18I'm sorry.

01:22:19I'm sorry.

01:22:20I have one.

01:22:25I have one.

01:22:26I know.

01:22:28Tonight, oh yeah, the sky is going black

01:22:33So come with us, don't hold back

01:22:38Tonight, oh yeah, the sky is going black

01:22:43So come with us, don't hold back
