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 don't like lucifer
00:08:45this bark's worse than his bite
00:08:46trust me
00:08:48i'm jace
00:08:49lucifer's angelic younger brother
00:08:52you are
00:08:53alex lincoln's new assistant and uh
00:08:56it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling
00:09:01i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:02alex
00:09:06get in here we 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 and
00:09:28shifting 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
00:09:56and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow
00:10:02so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:05uh 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
00:10:21you down entirely
00:10:22actually that could work worth a shot
00:10:26i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:32is there anything else i should know about my business
00:10:35not yet
00:10:41uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all

00:11:09with the board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job
00:11:14like a good leader isn't threatened by his employees threatened i am not threatened by her
00:11:20but she makes it look like i've lost control well the board already thinks you've lost control
00:11:25this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak

00:16:55I can, are you listening to me?
00:16:59Uh, sorry.
00:17:00As I was saying, uh, where was I?
00:17:03You can just take your top off.
00:17:04Oh, my God, I meant you can just take it from the top.
00:17:14I gotta go.
00:17:25No soy sauce in this whole building.
00:17:29They're still here.
00:17:30That's surprising.
00:17:31You and my brother getting along better?
00:17:35Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:39So, that little argument you guys had the other day,
00:17:42what was that, a lover's quarrel?
00:17:45Look who's blushing.
00:17:47I am not blushing,
00:17:49and that wasn't a lover's quarrel.
00:17:51He doesn't like me like that.
00:17:53Oh, so he didn't run after you in the elevator
00:17:56and 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,
00:18:18and 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,
00:18:28just 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.
00:19:07I don't want to,
00:19:08I don't want to see your friend.
00:19:13Oh.
00:19:14I don't want to,
00:19:16I don't want to see your friend.
00:19:20I don't want to,
00:19:23I don't want to see your friend.
00:19:28I don't want to,
00:19:30I don't want to see your friend.
00:19:33I thought I said I like red.
00:20:03Did you?
00:20:05Oops, must 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?
00:21:01It's easy.
00:21:02I'm not going to be there.
00:21:04I'm not going to be there.
00:21:08I'm not going to be there.
00:21:11I'm not going to be there.
00:21:14I'm not going to be there.
00:21:18I'm not going to be there.
00:21:19I'm not going to be there.
00:21:21I'm not going to be there.
00:21:36So, Ms. Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight, and you lied to me.
00:21:43Your 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.
00:22:00I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.
00:22:06My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:11I see.
00:22:13I apologize.
00:22:15I didn't know.
00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:20Hey.
00:22:23Alex.
00:22:26I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:34I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:37I'll be right back.
00:22:43Look at you.
00:22:46You look stunning.
00:22:49Let's see the dress.
00:22:53Let's get to turn you and me straight.
00:22:55Picked it out just for you.
00:22:56It's perfect.
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:58I think I'm sorry.
00:23:01Night.
00:23:02We always wanna put a camera to touch.
00:23:06It's just the way I've never let me down.
00:23:10Why do we feel like we're not good enough?
00:23:13Why don't we lose all of this camera to touch?
00:23:17For you.
00:23:19Hey, bro.
00:23:20Is that for me?
00:23:21Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:22And maybe you're on date while you're at it
00:23:27Dane I knew it my guest, you know what I know sure I know what you mean. I'll take that I'll leave you guys to it
00:23:46It's just a dance do not be weird about this
00:23:49Oh, I'm being weird
00:23:51Everyone else is dancing. It would look strange if we didn't
00:23:55And besides
00:23:57It's not like we're attracted to each other, right
00:24:02Right
00:24:15So something going on between you and my brother
00:24:20Chase, of course not that 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. I'm just looking out for my assistant
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested he's you know
00:24:40He's what you 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
00:25:13It'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
00:25:29Who?
00:25:30We're rarely touching
00:25:37Lincoln
00:25:40Dad
00:25:41Well, some of our board members are already here
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds
00:25:48Miss Livingston
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:56Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress
00:26:02Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in Lincoln
00:26:05Thank you
00:26:08Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition
00:26:11Oh, yes
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland
00:26:14Nice work
00:26:15Yes, and we're also improving transit times
00:26:18I'll actually be in New York next week
00:26:30Team there and finalizing everything
00:26:32Making sure everything's running smoothly
00:26:34I like it
00:26:36What 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
00:26:45I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother
00:26:51Who's this?
00:26:53No one
00:26:54Just my assistant
00:26:57Alex
00:26:58Nice to meet you, Alice
00:27:00As I was saying, the transit times in New York
00:27:04I really
00:27:04Come on, Lincoln
00:27:06Don't be a bore, it's a party
00:27:09No one wants to talk about business
00:27:10Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance
00:27:13Maybe later
00:27:13Maybe later
00:27:14These gentlemen are on the board
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:19What are you doing?
00:27:28What 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
00:27:47I 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
00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this
00:28:27This is a work event, Camilla
00:28:33Well, actually again, so tense
00:28:37I could fix that, you know
00:28:39What do you want, hmm?
00:28:41And don't give me some bullshit about missing me
00:28:44I know you
00:28:45You want money, don't you?
00:28:48Have 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
00:28:56Especially with our situation
00:28:59We should be a family
00:29:01We tried
00:29:02And failed miserably
00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla
00:29:11Don't
00:29:11Kiss me
00:29:12If you don't feel anything
00:29:14I'll leave you alone
00:29:20Stop
00:29:20Jesus
00:29:24Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that
00:29:27Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me
00:29:31You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:35Because you know I will
00:29:36Let 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

00:33:56Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday
00:34:07Morning
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, Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know
00:34:39Me, Dad
00:34:41But I've seen how he is with Malia and
00:34:44She's a soft spot
00:34:45Laken'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
00:35:02It took 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 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?
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
00:35:59I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office
00:36:03You know, like normal business partners and not
00:36:06Family members
00:36:06Exactly
00:36:08Did you, uh, give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:19Grandpa, 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
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter
00:36:33Are we expecting company?
00:36:47Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:49Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it!
00:36:59Uh
00:36:59Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex
00:37:23Me neither
00:37:25It's okay
00:37:37I 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
00:37:49Am I right?
00:37:50Thank you
00:37:58That was delicious
00:37:59All right
00:38:01Miss Livingston
00:38:05A word
00:38:08Uh, 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
00:38:40Bye
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
00:39:12Come on
00:39:14Come on
00:39:16Come on
00:39:17Come on
00:39:18Come on
00:39:19Come on
00:39:21Come on
00:39:22Come on
00:39:23Come on
00:39:24Come on
00:39:25Come on
00:39:26Come on
00:39:27Come on
00:39:28Come on
00:39:29Come on
00:39:30Come on

00:39:35Come on
00:39:36Come on
00:39:37Come on
00:39:38Come on
00:39:39Come on
00:39:40Come on
00:39:41Come on
00:39:42Come on
00:39:43She 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?
00:40:10Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:16Your 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.
00:40:36But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night
00:40:39was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:44I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:46I want you, Alex.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:56What if we separate church and state?
00:40:59At work, we're professional.
00:41:05But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:09I think the light is sliding.
00:41:11I'm asleep walking through
00:41:14All of my problems and no
00:41:16I can't make it through
00:41:20Every night is 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 asleep walking through
00:41:32All of my problems and no
00:41:35Let's go, Leah. Come on.
00:41:38Let's go, Leah. Come on.
00:41:41Let's go, Leah. Come on.
00:41:42Mom!
00:41:43Faster!
00:41:46Hey, uh...
00:41:48Lakin's not here right now.
00:41:50He just landed in New York.
00:41:51New York.
00:41:52I know, but it turns out
00:41:54I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:57Going to LA. Business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:02Oh, uh...
00:42:03I'm not really here to be childcare.
00:42:05I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:10Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:15Why doesn't she 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 her this week after all.
00:42:45What?!
00:42:47Let me talk to her.
00:42:52Hi, honey. Are you okay?
00:42:54Hi.
00:42:55Listen, uh...
00:42:57Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:42:59I'm going to be back tonight,
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.
00:43:10I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:12Thanks so much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:14I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay. Bye.
00:43:28Okay, 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...
00:43:34Is 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.
00:43:51Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days,
00:43:55so she can go on work trips.
00:44:00Work trips.
00:44:01Huh.
00:44:03Does your dad know about this?
00:44:04I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:08She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit!
00:44:14I mean, shoot!
00:44:19Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:36Malia.
00:44:37I'm sorry.
00:44:41I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:44:56Good.
00:45:05How will we order some pizza?
00:45:26Malia?
00:45:32Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:40You can talk to me.
00:45:42Believe me, I understand.
00:45:46What do you mean?
00:45:51It's from surgery.
00:45:53I was born with a heart defect, just like you.
00:45:56Really?
00:46:00I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:22Who is it?
00:46:24It's me.
00:46:26I can.
00:46:32Lincoln.
00:46:34Hi.
00:46:36Hi.
00:46:39Can I see Malia?
00:46:48Daddy, shh.
00:47:10It's okay, sweetie.
00:47:11I'm right here.
00:47:13Go back to sleep.
00:47:15Oh, stay.
00:47:18I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:21No, you stay too.
00:47:26It's all right with me.
00:47:27It's all right.
00:47:48Where do you think you're going?
00:48:04To find Malia.
00:48:07I already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:11We're all alone.
00:48:13What about work?
00:48:19Time off for good behavior.
00:48:31Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:34It wasn't a problem.
00:48:42Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:49Let me make it up to you.
00:48:55How are you going to do that?
00:48:56I don't know if I can take it.
00:49:01Must be a monster in my life.
00:49:03Let me show you.
00:49:04Let me show you.
00:49:04You're like the neighbors.
00:49:28You know, I think more people should try coworkers with benefits.
00:49:54So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:07Not really.
00:50:12Sorry, I was just curious.
00:50:18Congenital heart defect.
00:50:19You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:20It's too much.
00:50:21Too much?
00:50:22This condition, these bills, this scar.
00:50:27My parents were incredible.
00:50:30They gave up everything for me.
00:50:32They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:39And now they're gone.
00:50:41Car accident.
00:50:42When I was a senior in high school.
00:50:45I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:50Alex.
00:50:50Sorry, way too much information.
00:50:54Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:55You don't need to know my sob story.
00:51:01You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:51:03I know.
00:51:04She told me.
00:51:06Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:07Look, I've never told anybody this, but Malia was more with her defect because Camilla, she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out on modeling gigs.
00:51:24I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:27Oh, my God.
00:51:28Oh, my God.
00:51:30It's terrible.
00:51:32Truth is, she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:36I did.
00:51:37I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:40Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:44I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:50And the only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.
00:51:55Not for me, and certainly not for her daughter.
00:51:59You know, she's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt, abandoning her daughter like that, it's...
00:52:06Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:10I want to, but it's too risky.
00:52:13I mean, the courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:15I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:17They don't always.
00:52:21Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:25What did she say to you?
00:52:27Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips.
00:52:31It's dangerous, and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met.
00:52:34But, I think you could have a case here.
00:52:37I don't know.
00:52:38I 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.
00:52:48And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:52Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:55And if that's money, fine.
00:52:57You have it.
00:52:59Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.
00:53:02You're right.
00:53:04Malia deserves better.
00:53:07I will talk to her this week.
00:53:22Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:23Greedy?
00:53:28I meant breakfast.
00:53:31You can cook?
00:53:33Yes, I can.
00:53:35For the right company.
00:53:45Ta-da!
00:53:46I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:54:00Shit.
00:54:00Fuck.
00:54:01I'm sorry.
00:54:01I didn't mean to.
00:54:02It's okay.
00:54:04Really, it's actually 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.
00:54:20He told you all of that?
00:54:33What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:35A saint?
00:54:37Hardly.
00:54:37Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:46Cross my inner 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
00:55:06it out as Lakin's assistant.
00:55:08He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:55:10By any means necessary, he said.
00:55:14Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits.
00:55:17Coworkers with benefits?
00:55:19Excuse me?
00:55:21It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:25Why?
00:55:25Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:28Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:30It won't feel like that if he finds out.
00:55:32He'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:34Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:37Chase, I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:39I think...
00:55:40I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:47So more than co-workers with benefits.
00:55:49Thanks for meeting me.
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
00:56:12life.
00:56:14Especially 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?
00:56:32She's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been.
00:56:36Which is actually why I'm here.
00:56:39Enough is enough.
00:56:41I want sole custody.
00:56:43So this 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.
00:56:52I 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?
00:57:03I 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.
00:57:19What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:24The only reason why she's working for you is because your dad promised to pay her medical
00:57:29bills if she kept you away from me.
00:57:33No, she wouldn't do that.
00:57:34That's not who she is.
00:57:36If you don't believe me, just ask your dad.
00:57:39Is 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.
00:58:09This has nothing to do with the company.
00:58:11Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities
00:58:16as a leader.
00:58:17As it does the way you close yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:21So what?
00:58:21I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?
00:58:24That is bullshit.
00:58:25My love life is none of your business.
00:58:27But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:58:33Alex is a smart girl with a good heart.
00:58:36She cares about Malia.
00:58:37And she challenges you.
00:58:40She's fired.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:42What are you doing here?
00:59:10We need to talk.
00:59:12Oh 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, I'm 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.
00:59:33I...
00:59:33I told you things that I've never even told my family.
00:59:37And this whole time, you...
00:59:38You were just in it for the money.
00:59:41I...
00:59:42That 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.
00:59:52And fucking me, what?
00:59:53That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:56That's all I am to you.
00:59:57Just a transaction?
00:59:58Of course not.
00:59:59Lakin, how dare you.
01:00:03Why should I believe you?
01:00:06You know, you're just like her.
01:00:09I am not like Camilla.
01:00:11Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:13You're fired.
01:00:14And this thing between us?
01:00:16That's over too.
01:00:17I don't know.
01:00:19I don't know.
01:00:20I don't know.
01:00:20I don't know.
01:00:21Let's go.
01:00:51Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:13I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:15You're going to let me in or what?
01:01:19You are out of your mind.
01:01:26Showing up here is insane.
01:01:27Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:29I 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're-
01:01:37Alright, 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,
01:01:44so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:47Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.
01:01:51You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:54I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:01:57I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:02What's wrong with me?
01:02:16Nothing.
01:02:17Absolutely nothing.
01:02:19I'm sorry.
01:02:26I just-
01:02:29I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:34Hey.
01:02:40Text me, okay?
01:02:42Just cause we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:45We will.
01:02:48I promise.
01:02:50I promise.
01:02:51I promise.
01:03:27Hey, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:52I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, Ken, come on, man.
01:03:55Open up.
01:03:57You 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.
01:04:13I 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.
01:04:33I 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.
01:04:52You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:17Are 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.
01:05:54She 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.
01:06:11Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:24I'm not kidding.
01:06:37I don't know.
01:06:38I don't know.
01:06:40I don't know.
01:06:41I don't know.
01:06:42But not in fear.
01:06:45I don't know.
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.
01:08:53Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11And 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.
01:09:45She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:49And I don't blame her.
01:09:51Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back.
01:09:52But I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:58She's working here again?
01:10:01Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:15Hi.
01:10:20Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:34What are you doing here?
01:10:37Jace brought me.
01:10:38To 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.
01:11:04Alex, hey.
01:11:10You okay?
01:11:12You okay?
01:11:13You okay?
01:11:14I'm okay.
01:11:15Woo!
01:11:15Someone call 911!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20Any update?
01:11:44There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but...
01:11:47The doctor said that she's in critical condition, that they're going to operate tomorrow, and that her chances are 50-50.
01:11:57Jesus.
01:11:59Her 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 have helped either. I should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lincoln.
01:12:15And now Alex could... she could...
01:12:17Hey, stop. Don't talk like that.
01:12:19Hey, Lincoln.
01:12:21Oh my God, Alex, you're awake. Jesus Christ.
01:12:25I was so worried, I thought... I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:27Oh my God, Alex, you're awake. Jesus Christ. I was so worried, I thought... I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:31Thank you. I'm fine. You should leave.
01:12:35What? What are you talking about? I... I... I... I... I... I...
01:12:41lacon oh my god alex you're awake jesus christ i was so worried i thought

01:13:16no it's not like that i don't want to be your charity case lacon
01:13:21i don't want to feel like i owe you or anyone again
01:13:26you are not a burden i don't think that i'd like you to go
01:13:41so
01:13:53Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:21It's good to see you awake.
01:14:23You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:29I got you something.
01:14:45This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:52It was Dad.
01:14:55You 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.
01:15:05Fancy 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.
01:15:18What are you talking about?
01:15:20Look at me, Jace.
01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:15:22Why should I...
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:26You deserve love.
01:15:27It'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.
01:16:09I'm sorry.
01:16:15Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:17Alex, you're recovering from surgery.
01:16:20Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:22Okay.
01:16:39Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:50She misses you.
01:16:52Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad, Jace,
01:16:57and me.
01:17:03It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:07I can see that now.
01:17:09I've just...
01:17:09I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:12And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:15It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:23What you told me about your parents
01:17:25and 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,
01:17:38and they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:41That'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.
01:17:57But what you've taught me,
01:18:00what your parents have taught me,
01:18:03is that
01:18:04supporting someone is not about an obligation
01:18:08or to force an outcome.
01:18:11It is simply because
01:18:13you love them.
01:18:15Miss Livingston,
01:18:18Miss Livingston,
01:18:19you are the most
01:18:21selfless,
01:18:23independent,
01:18:25strong,
01:18:26and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:31I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:34And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it? How?
01:18:52Is that...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:01I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:04I 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?
01:19:21Please.
01:19:25I love you, too.
01:19:34What are you doing next week?
01:19:55I want to take you to a party.
01:19:57Another 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.
01:20:10Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:21Happy birthday to you.
01:20:26What did you wish for?
01:20:36A new mommy.
01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:41I got you something.
01:20:45It might not be the biggest present you get, but I think you'll like it.
01:20:52I have one, too.
01:20:55Just like you.
01:20:56I'll, too.
01:20:57I love you.
01:21:13Don't hold back tonight, oh yeah
01:21:17The sky's going black, so come with us
01:21:22Don't hold back tonight, oh yeah
01:21:27The sky's going black, so come with us
01:21:33Don't hold back
