00:07:45let's get started did you bring your notepad from the restaurant

00:08:10are you writing this down

00:08:11i also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from amelio's oh and stay out of my personal

00:08:45his bark's worse than his bite trust me

00:08:48i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are alex lakin's new assistant and uh it would be

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

00:09:01i've said worse your secret's safe with me

00:09:05alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea

00:09:09you're gonna need that

00:09:12coming

00:09:16we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure

00:09:19it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times and

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

00:09:33so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate

00:09:37i need solutions faster not more excuses people

00:09:41we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet

00:09:48um sorry to interrupt

00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail

00:09:58contracts to offset the overflow

00:10:02so what you're 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

00:10:12cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure

00:10:17it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you

00:10:21down entirely actually that could work worth a shot i 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 not yet

00:10:41uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all

00:11:09the board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job lincoln a good leader isn't threatened by

00:11:16his employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control well

00:11:23the board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive

00:33:11Don't let this go to waste

00:33:15Don't let this go to waste

00:33:34You, uh, wanna come inside?

00:33:49Uh, no

00:33:50Right, no

00:33:54Of course not

00:33:56Well, I guess

00:34:00I'll see you on Monday

00:34:02Morning

00:34:20Morning

00:34:22Morning

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

00:34:37Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know

00:34:39Me, dad

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

00:34:43And

00:34:44He's a soft spot

00:34:45Laken's got some serious trust issues

00:34:48Like, he needs therapy about it

00:34:51Camila 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

00:35:05Oh, surprise, surprise

00:35:06Guess who's suddenly pregnant?

00:35:10Jesus

00:35:10Maybe it's just

00:35:13Best to pretend like this never happened

00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot

00:35:17Look

00:35:22I gotta run to a meeting

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

00:35:27Seven?

00:35:28I'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

00:36:00I wanted to have the gala postmortem

00:36:02At the office

00:36:03You know, like, normal business partners

00:36:05And not

00:36:06Family members

00:36:06Exactly

00:36:08Did you, uh, 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

00:36:23No, 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

00:36:31Cause 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!

00:36:58Ah

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 brussel sprouts

00:37:49Am I right?

00:37:50Hehehe

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 want to hang out with Alex

00:38:49Please, Daddy

00:38:50Please

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

00:39:17Come on

00:39:47She likes you, you know?

00:39:56She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.

00:39:59I like her too.

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

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

00:40:13Your job is not in danger.

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

00:40:25What do you want me to say, Alex?

00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant.

00:40:31Not with the board watching my every move.

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

00:40:55What if we separate church and state?

00:41:01At work, we're professional.

00:41:05But outside of work, we're...

00:41:08Unprofessional?

00:41:09Unprofessional?

00:41:11I'm sleepwalking through all of my problems.

00:41:16I know I can't make it through.

00:41:20Every 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 sleepwalking through all of my problems.

00:41:34Malia, hurry.

00:41:38Come on.

00:41:39Come on.

00:41:41Let's go, Malia.

00:41:42Come on.

00:41:43Mom!

00:41:44Faster.

00:41:46Hey.

00:41:47Uh, Lincoln'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.

00:41:56Going to LA.

00:41:59Business trip.

00:42:00So, she's all yours.

00:42:02Oh, uh, I'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?

00:42:15Okay.

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

00:42:22Hey, hey.

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

00:42:38Alex, 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, Mommy 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 wanted.

00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.

00:43:18Okay.

00:43:19Okay.

00:43:20Bye.

00:43:21Okay, so we'll get you fed.

00:43:30I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets back, is that too much rice?

00:43:37I'm sorry.

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

00:43:46Has your mom done this before?

00:43:47Sort of.

00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work trips.

00:44:00Work trips.

00:44:01Huh.

00:44:03Does your dad know about this?

00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him.

00:44:07She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.

00:44:14Shit!

00:44:14I mean, shoot!

00:44:16Shoot!

00:44:20Oh my god!

00:44:34Malia!

00:44:35Malia!

00:44:36Malia!

00:44:40I'm sorry.

00:44:41I didn't mean to.

00:44:43I didn't mean to.

00:44:56Better?

00:44:56Good.

00:45:00Good.

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

00:45:06Malia, do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?

00:45:36You can talk to me. Believe me, I understand.

00:45:46What do you mean?

00:45:51It's from surgery. I was born with a heart defect, just like you.

00:45:56Really? I didn't know anyone was like me.

00:46:06Who is it?

00:46:23It's me.

00:46:28I can. Hi.

00:46:35Hi. Can I see Malia?

00:46:40Daddy, shh.

00:47:08It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here. Go 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.

00:47:28Don't worry.

00:47:29Don't worry.

00:47:41Don't worry.

00:47:43I can sleep on the couch.

00:47:45where do you think you're going to find Malia I already had the driver pick her up and take

00:48:09her to school we're all alone what about work time off for good behavior thank you again for taking care

00:48:34of her wasn't a problem apparently is for her mother let me make it up to you how are you gonna do that

00:48:56I don't know if I can take it must be a monster let me show you

00:49:04lately feels like I've been faking think there's a stranger here instead there you have it

00:49:12you like the neighbors

00:49:28you 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

00:50:08sorry I um I was just curious

00:50:15congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much too much

00:50:22this condition these bills this scar my parents were incredible they gave up everything for me

00:50:32they drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try

00:50:36and make my life normal and now they're gone

00:50:39car accident when I was a senior in high school

00:50:44I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then

00:50:48Alex sorry way too much information

00:50:53especially from a fuck buddy you don't need to know my soft story

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

00:51:03I know she told me

00:51:05yeah well she doesn't know everything

00:51:07look I've never told anybody this but

00:51:12Malia was more with her defect because Camilla

00:51:17she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out in modeling gigs

00:51:24I only found out before it was too late

00:51:27oh my god

00:51:29it's terrible

00:51:31truth is

00:51:33she never really wanted to have a baby

00:51:35I did

00:51:37I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family

00:51:40turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket

00:51:44I'm so sorry Lincoln

00:51:48the only reason she wants to get back together

00:51:53is for the money

00:51:55not for me

00:51:56certainly not for her daughter

00:51:58she's always been irresponsible

00:52:01but this latest stunt

00:52:03abandoning her daughter like that

00:52:05have you thought about pursuing soul custody

00:52:09I want to but

00:52:11it's too risky

00:52:12the courts usually side with the mother

00:52:14I can't risk losing my daughter

00:52:16they don't always

00:52:19Malia 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

00:52:34I think you could have a case here

00:52:36I don't know

00:52:37I don't want to put her through that

00:52:40I mean

00:52:40making her testify against her own mother

00:52:43I can't do that

00:52:45I know you want what's best for Malia

00:52:47and sharing her with Camilla isn't it

00:52:50maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants

00:52:54and if that's money, fine

00:52:57you have it

00:52:58Malia deserves people in her life who care about her

00:53:02you're right

00:53:03Malia deserves better

00:53:05I will talk to her this week

00:53:08thank you

00:53:17thank you

00:53:17seems like I owe you again

00:53:23greedy

00:53:27I meant breakfast

00:53:56shit, fuck, I'm sorry

00:54:01I didn't mean to

00:54:02it's okay

00:54:04really it's

00:54:05actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again

00:54:09thank you again for everything

00:54:12I know this wasn't part of the job description

00:54:15and I'm sure dealing with my ex

00:54:17wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you

00:54:20great

00:54:24not exactly

00:54:26he told you all of that

00:54:33what are you a miracle worker

00:54:35a saint

00:54:36hardly

00:54:37look

00:54:40if I tell you something

00:54:42you promise not to say anything to anyone

00:54:44cross my inner hope to die

00:54:47your dad is paying me to do this

00:54:53to help Lakin

00:54:54that's what a job is

00:54:57you work for the company

00:54:58you know that, right?

00:54:59you don't understand

00:55:00your dad offered to pay off my student loans

00:55:03and cover my medical bills for life

00:55:05if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant

00:55:07he wanted me to keep him away from Camilla

00:55:09by any means necessary

00:55:11he said

00:55:12now that Lakin and I are

00:55:15fucking like rabbits

00:55:16co-workers with benefits

00:55:19excuse me

00:55:20it just

00:55:22it seems wrong not to tell him

00:55:24why?

00:55:25because you're helping him get his shit together

00:55:27and getting paid for it

00:55:28seems like a win-win to me

00:55:29it won't feel like that if he finds out

00:55:32he'll think I'm just using him

00:55:33well

00:55:34maybe he doesn't have to find out

00:55:36Chase

00:55:37I can't keep lying to him

00:55:39I think

00:55:39I think I'm falling for him

00:55:43so more than co-workers with benefits

00:55:49thanks for meeting me

00:55:59I wanted to talk to you about

00:56:02your new girlfriend

00:56:03what?

00:56:05I know all about your little sleepover

00:56:07you know

00:56:09I'd appreciate it if you told me

00:56:10before bringing another woman

00:56:11into our daughter's life

00:56:12especially that one

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

00:56:17Alex actually stepped up

00:56:19when you abandoned her

00:56:20to go clubbing in LA

00:56:21it was a work trip

00:56:22oh really?

00:56:23she's already proven to be way better

00:56:34at taking care of Malia

00:56:35than you've ever been

00:56:36which is actually why I'm here

00:56:37enough is enough

00:56:40I want sole custody

00:56:42this is it?

00:56:46you want to break up our family

00:56:47for 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

00:56:57about your little assistant?

00:56:58what do you mean?

00:57:02I hate to be the one

00:57:05to tell you this

00:57:06but

00:57:07that girl is using you Lakin

00:57:10I overheard Jason Herr

00:57:16laughing about it

00:57:17in the break room

00:57:18earlier today

00:57:19what do you mean

00:57:22she's using me?

00:57:24the only reason

00:57:25why she's working for you

00:57:26is because your dad

00:57:28promised to pay her

00:57:28medical bills

00:57:29if she kept you away from me

00:57:30no she wouldn't do that

00:57:34that's not who she is

00:57:35if you don't believe me

00:57:37just ask your dad

00:57:39is it true?

00:57:50Lakin

00:57:51what are you doing here?

00:57:52did you hire Alex

00:57:53in order to keep tabs on me?

00:57:58it was for your own good

00:57:59do not give me that

00:58:00father knows best routine

00:58:01this is a complete betrayal

00:58:03of my trust

00:58:05were affecting

00:58:06not only the business

00:58:07but our family

00:58:08that is absurd

00:58:09this has nothing

00:58:10to do with the company

00:58:11your inability

00:58:12to cut Camilla

00:58:13from your life

00:58:14seriously calls into question

00:58:15your abilities

00:58:16as a leader

00:58:16as it does the way

00:58:18you close yourself off

00:58:19from any connection

00:58:20romantic or

00:58:21so what?

00:58:21I can't be CEO

00:58:22if I don't open my heart?

00:58:24that is bullshit

00:58:25my love life

00:58:26is none of your business

00:58:27but the well-being

00:58:29of my granddaughter

01:03:45Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.

01:03:52I used to work here.

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

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

01:04:09You want a drink?

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

01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.

01:04:15I heard you broke up with Alex.

01:04:26Can'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.

01:04:47Her little deal with dad is mute, and now you two can finally be together.

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

01:04:56Yeah.

01:04:56You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.

01:05:07I'm sorry.

01:05:11Really.

01:05:11I 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, Lincoln.

01:05:50She cares about you.

01:05:51A lot.

01:05:52She 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.

01:06:22Don't be happy.

01:06:36Oh, I feel it.

01:06:44I feel it.

01:06:45I might be happy.

01:06:45Nice to meet you.

01:07:15Fuck 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.

01:07:43Eight? You don't even know how old your daughter is?

01:08:05Pleasure doing business with you.

01:08:12You don't want to say goodbye?

01:08:13She's upstairs waiting.

01:08:15I can't. I 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, all right?

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

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

01:08:48Congrats, bro.

01:08:54Congrats, bro.

01:08:55Let's celebrate.

01:08:57Come on.

01:08:58Come on, we should be celebrating.

01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.

01:09:11Yeah.

01:09:13Yeah.

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,

01:09:52but 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.

01:10:20Ready to order?

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

01:10:26Alex.

01:10:32Lincoln?

01:10:33Uh, what are you doing here?

01:10:36Uh, Jace brought me to celebrate.

01:10:41I won full custody.

01:10:44Congratulations.

01:10:44Yeah, 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 actually need to take my break right now.

01:10:59You okay?

01:11:17Who?

01:11:17Someone call 911.

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, they're gonna operate tomorrow,

01:11:53and then her chances are fifty-fifty.

01:11:56Jesus. Her heart

01:11:59must be overwhelmed by all the stress. The stress that I fucking caused her.

01:12:05And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't help either.

01:12:10I should have just left her alone. It's not your fault, Lakin.

01:12:13And now Alex could...

01:12:16She could... Hey, stop. Don't talk like that.

01:12:20Oh my god, Alex. You're awake. Jesus Christ. I was so worried. I thought...

01:12:24I thought that I might have lost you.

01:12:28Oh my god, Alex. You're awake. Jesus Christ. I was so worried. I thought...

01:12:36I thought that I might have lost you.

01:12:40I thought that I might have lost you.

01:12:44Thank you. I'm fine. You should leave.

01:12:48What? What? What? What are you talking about?

01:12:52Lakin, why are you here?

01:12:54I'm here because I care about you. Because...

01:12:56Because you feel guilty.

01:12:58This is what you do. You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.

01:12:59No. It's not like that.

01:13:01I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.

01:13:03I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.

01:13:07I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.

01:13:11I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.

01:13:15I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.

01:13:19I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.

01:13:26You are not a burden. I don't think that.

01:13:29I'd like you to go.

01:13:49I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.

01:14:12Morning, sleepyhead.

01:14:19It's good to see you awake. You had me worried there for a minute.

01:14:29I got you something.

01:14:45This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.

01:14:47Where did all the flowers come from?

01:14:53It was Dad.

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

01:14:58so he's been helping out with Mulya while Lakin 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. It's done.

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

01:15:18What are you talking about?

01:15:20Look at me, Jace. I'm literally fucking scarred. Why should I...

01:15:23Hey, Alex.

01:15:26You deserve love.

01:15:30It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.

01:15:41I'm sorry.

01:15:55I didn't mean to scare you.

01:15:59Fuck.

01:15:59I'm sorry. I just...

01:16:01I thought you might need some help.

01:16:04Doctor said no unnecessary stress.

01:16:06Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.

01:16:13Sorry.

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

01:16:17Alex.

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

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

01:16:31Malia asks about you all the time, you know.

01:16:49She misses you.

01:16:52Everyone misses you.

01:16:54My dad.

01:16:55Jace.

01:16:59And me.

01:16:59It 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.

01:17:23What 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.

01:17:34Hey, 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.

01:17:54I 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

01:18:08or to force an outcome.

01:18:12It is simply because you love them.

01:18:17Miss Livingston,

01:18:20you are the most selfless, independent, strong,

01:18:25and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.

01:18:31I can't stop.

01:18:32It's true.

01:18:36And since you clearly don't believe me,

01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.

01:18:41It's true.

01:18:42Prove it?

01:18:43How?

01:18:52Is that?

01:18:53It's scars.

01:18:56Just like yours.

01:18:57Are those tattoos?

01:19:02I wanted it to be permanent.

01:19:06I love you, Alex.

01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.

01:19:11Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?

01:19:21Please.

01:19:25I love you too.

01:19:41What are you doing next week?

01:19:55I want to take you to a party.

01:19:59Another gala?

01:20:02Something like that.

01:20:04And you know the guest of honor very well.

01:20:05Who is it?

01:20:09You'll see.

01:20:16Happy birthday, dear Malia.

01:20:22Happy birthday to you.

01:20:33What'd you wish for?

01:20:36A new mommy.

01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.

01:20:44I got you something.

01:20:47It might not be the biggest present you get, but

01:20:50I think you'll like it.

01:20:52I have one too.

01:20:56Just like you.

01:21:05Stay there.

01:21:14I have one too.

01:21:16You know what?

01:21:17You know.

01:21:18And you can't let you know the good.

01:21:19You know.

01:21:20You know.

01:21:21She's like you.

01:21:21You know.

01:21:22I love you too.

01:21:23I know.

01:21:24You know.

01:21:25You know.

01:21:25She's like you.

01:21:25They're like you.

01:21:26You know.

01:21:27You know.

01:21:28Sky is going black, so come with us

01:21:32Don't hold back
