00:01:36I'm following up with New York about next month, but, uh, how do you spell rapport?

00:01:43R-A-P-P-O-R-T comes from the French rapport to bring back, as in je rapport ses plats à la cuisine,

00:01:52and bringing these dishes back to the kitchen.

00:01:54Well, you can bring that little attitude of yours back there as well.

00:01:59I didn't realize they taught French at waitress school.

00:02:02I went to UC Berkeley. Heard of it?

00:02:05That's where you went.

00:02:10I'll be right back, gentlemen.

00:02:14That's R-A-P-P-O-R-T.

00:02:17Yeah, I got it.

00:02:19Here comes the smart mouth again.

00:02:21You'd think a hospitality major would be a little bit more hospitable.

00:02:26For your information, I studied business. Just graduated.

00:02:29Congrats on the degree. I can see things are really working out for you here.

00:02:33At least I know how to spell.

00:02:35Excuse me. I ordered this steak medium rare, and it is medium.

00:02:42I'll be with you in just a moment.

00:02:43I think I've waited long enough.

00:02:44She's busy right now. She'll be with you when she's done here.

00:02:47I can speak for myself. Thank you.

00:02:48Daddy.

00:02:49One second, sweetheart. You sure about that? Seems like you got a little bit too much on your plate here.

00:02:58Malia, oh my God. Sweetheart. Sweetheart. Hey, Dad, where are our pills?

00:03:08Here.

00:03:08Hey, come here.

00:03:10Lay her down.

00:03:11I got you. Daddy's here. Hey, Malia.

00:03:13We need to elevate her legs and increase blood flow to the brain.

00:03:16It's okay. Hey.

00:03:16Give her some room to breathe.

00:03:17She's my daughter. I know what's best for her.

00:03:19Clearly not, or you wouldn't be raising her voice right now.

00:03:22Now elevate her legs. I'm calling 911.

00:03:24Malia.

00:03:26Daddy?

00:03:27Honey. Hey. Okay, sit up.

00:03:31Here. It's okay. Take this.

00:03:33Little sips, okay, honey?

00:03:37We're good. Thanks.

00:03:42Honey, you think you can stand up?

00:03:44Slow. Nice and slow.

00:03:46I got you.

00:03:47Look at me.

00:03:49You okay?

00:03:50I'm taking you to see Dr. Schaffer right now to get you checked out.

00:03:52No, I'm fine.

00:03:53No butts.

00:03:54Okay?

00:03:55Come on.

00:03:56Dad, can you take care of the bill?

00:03:58No.

00:03:58Please excuse my son.

00:04:12What he meant was, thank you.

00:04:14Alex.

00:04:15And it's all right.

00:04:17It was a stressful situation.

00:04:18Yeah, how do you know how to handle that?

00:04:22Sometimes I faint when I get stressed out.

00:04:25Heart defect.

00:04:26I was born with it.

00:04:27I learned how to take care of myself over the years.

00:04:30Well, you shouldn't be working as a waitress with a condition like that.

00:04:32You know, running around all day.

00:04:34Student loans and a looming surgery I can't even begin to afford don't just pay for themselves.

00:04:45Oh, my God. Thank you.

00:04:47You know, there's an opening at my office.

00:04:50Less footwork, better pay.

00:04:52Why don't you come and see me?

00:04:55Monday morning, all right?

00:04:56We'll have a chat.

00:04:589 a.m.

00:05:01And don't be late.

00:05:12Yeah, absolutely.

00:05:13I'm getting in the elevator.

00:05:14Let me call you right back.

00:05:15Okay.

00:05:15You.

00:05:28What are you doing here?

00:05:30I work here.

00:05:33I didn't realize the cafeteria was hiring.

00:05:35Mr. Blanford said he had a job for me.

00:05:38Must be a pity hire.

00:05:39Better than daddy buying my position for me.

00:05:43You know, you're a lot more charming in an apron, waitress.

00:05:50Your floor, by the way.

00:05:51You know what to do.

00:06:05I got to go now.

00:06:11All right.

00:06:11Hello again, Alex.

00:06:16So I'll cut right to it.

00:06:19I'd like to offer you an executive assistant position.

00:06:22I need someone to rein in our interim CEO so that he can become the leader this company needs.

00:06:27So, keep him out of trouble?

00:06:31No, he's just overwhelmed.

00:06:33And his ex, Camilla, isn't helping.

00:06:36I need you to keep her far away from him.

00:06:39Sir, I appreciate the offer.

00:06:41I do.

00:06:42But I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.

00:06:45Think of yourself as a fixer.

00:06:49I could use someone like you.

00:06:51You know, you're smart.

00:06:54You're good and under pressure.

00:06:56And if you don't tell him the real reason why I hired you, I'll handle all those medical bills of yours.

00:07:03What do you say?

00:07:05I say, when do I start?

00:07:10Right now.

00:07:15Alex, meet Laken Blanford, the interim CEO of Blanford Corporation.

00:07:24And your new boss.

00:07:25Her?

00:07:27Are you joking?

00:07:28I certainly am not.

00:07:30I'm still CEO for now.

00:07:32You do as I say.

00:07:33Welcome aboard.

00:07:51Let's get started.

00:07:53Did you bring your notepad from the restaurant?

00:07:54Coffee, black, every day within five minutes of my arrival.

00:08:05Lunch will be at 1 p.m. sharp.

00:08:08No fast food.

00:08:10Are you writing this down?

00:08:13I also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from Emilio's.

00:08:17Oh.

00:08:19And stay out of my personal life.

00:08:22That'll be all for now.

00:08:24I'll give you access to my work calendar later.

00:08:32That means you can go.

00:08:34Laken, I don't like Lucifer.

00:08:45His bark's worse than his bite.

00:08:47Trust me.

00:08:48I'm Jace.

00:08:50Lucifer's angelic younger brother.

00:08:52You are?

00:08:53Alex, Laken's new assistant.

00:08:55And it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling.

00:09:01I've said worse.

00:09:01Your secret's safe with me.

00:09:02Alex, get in here.

00:09:07We need to roll some calls to South Korea.

00:09:09You're going to need that.

00:09:11Coming.

00:09:15We're still evaluating the Chicago hub closure.

00:09:19It's costing us.

00:09:21Labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times.

00:09:27And shifting our operations to Detroit might create bottlenecks.

00:09:31We just can't afford right now.

00:09:33So what?

00:09:34We're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate?

00:09:35I need solutions faster, not more excuses, people.

00:09:41We're exploring alternatives.

00:09:43Nothing definitive yet.

00:09:44Sorry to interrupt.

00:09:50But have you considered splitting freight between Detroit and Cleveland and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow?

00:09:59Huh.

00:10:01So what?

00:10:02You're now an expert in freight logistics?

00:10:04Uh, no, but I was looking over last quarter's regional expense report.

00:10:11Well, it could be off, but Cleveland'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 down entirely.

00:10:22Actually, that could work.

00:10:25Worth a shot.

00:10:26I mean, obviously, my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details.

00:10:31Is there anything else I should know about my business?

00:10:35Not yet.

00:10:41Uh, you heard her.

00:10:44Let's, uh, let's move on this right away.

00:10:47That'll be all.

00:10:50Alex has to go.

00:10:51Absolutely not.

00:10:53She stays.

00:10:54Look, Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two.

00:10:58Seven this year.

00:10:59This girl is overstepping.

00:11:01She's jumping on executive leadership calls.

00:11:04Yes, she was right, but she is undermining me in front of my team.

00:11:08How is that supposed to strengthen my position with the board?

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

00:11:14Lincoln, a good leader isn't threatened by his employees.

00:11:17Threatened?

00:11:18I am not threatened by her.

00:11:20But she makes it look like I've lost control.

00:11:23Well, the board already thinks you've lost control.

00:11:25This constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak.

00:11:31You have to keep Alex.

00:11:33What are you saying?

00:11:37You fire her and the board will find another CEO.

00:11:39Oh.

00:11:40Hey.

00:11:48Malia, right?

00:12:04How are you feeling?

00:12:07Better.

00:12:07Thank you for helping me the other day.

00:12:09Of course.

00:12:10You know, if you ever start to feel like that, you should sit down and slow your heart rate.

00:12:15What the hell are you doing?

00:12:19Malia, honey.

00:12:21Why don't you get started on your homework, okay?

00:12:22Your job is to help with my work, not butt into my personal life.

00:12:30I was just trying...

00:12:31From now on, I want you to leave my daughter alone.

00:12:35How about I leave you alone, huh?

00:12:38I quit.

00:12:39Come on, it's only been a week.

00:12:41You really giving up that fast?

00:12:43You know what?

00:12:44Fine.

00:12:45Leave.

00:12:46Guess you're just not cut out for a big girl job, are you, waitress?

00:12:49Alex, hang on.

00:12:59Alex!

00:13:05Alex, wait.

00:13:06Alex!

00:13:11I told you to wait.

00:13:14I'm not going to stay here and subject myself to this bullshit any longer.

00:13:17I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.

00:13:21I'll double your salary.

00:13:23I'll give you a four-day work week, whatever you want.

00:13:28Look, you can't leave, okay?

00:13:31I need you to stay.

00:13:35How about starting with an apology?

00:13:38I've been working my ass off all week doing everything you say, and you're still a dick to me.

00:13:43What do I have to do to please you?

00:13:48Look, I'm sorry, okay?

00:13:51It's not your fault.

00:13:53I just, uh...

00:13:59Alex, hang on.

00:14:06Alex, hey, Alex, hey, Alex, wait one second.

00:14:13Look, I don't know what came over me, okay?

00:14:16But I can't lose you.

00:14:18I promise from now on, I will clean up my act.

00:14:21No more verbal abuse?

00:14:23I didn't...

00:14:26Fine.

00:14:28No more.

00:14:28And no more calling me waitress.

00:14:30It's Miss Livingston or Alex.

00:14:33Got it.

00:14:35And you said something about doubling my salary.

00:14:39Stick around for a few more months, and then we'll talk, okay?

00:14:46You won't regret it.

00:14:48Want to bet?

00:14:49Huh.

00:14:49Sorry I'm late.

00:15:17Traffic was hell.

00:15:19A menu for you, sir.

00:15:25Hi, Malia.

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

00:15:30We order drinks.

00:15:33A 2005 Roman Acon tea.

00:15:36Best bottle on the menu.

00:15:39It better be.

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

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

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

00:15:49So, what did you want to talk to me about?

00:15:55Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.

00:16:01It's not easy on her poor little heart.

00:16:03Malia, honey, you and I talked about this, right?

00:16:08Your mother and I love you very much.

00:16:12It's just...

00:16:13It's not easy for us to be around each other right now.

00:16:17Maybe we could try a little harder.

00:16:30Hey.

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

00:16:34Thank you, Ms. Livingston.

00:16:38So, regarding South Korea, I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week.

00:16:42I'm working...

00:16:43I think the world was ending.

00:16:47We could tell that it's alright.

00:16:50It's alright.

00:16:52It's alright.

00:16:56I 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.

00:17:05Oh my god, I meant you can just take it from the top.

00:17:09I got to go.

00:17:25No soy sauce in this whole building?

00:17:29They're still here.

00:17:30That's surprising.

00:17:33You and my brother getting along better?

00:17:35Yeah, everything's just peachy.

00:17:39So, that little argument you guys had the other day, what was that? A lover's quarrel?

00:17:45Look who's blushing.

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

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

00:17:58Chase.

00:17:59Lakin.

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

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

00:18:05Such a sweetheart.

00:18:07Anywho, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later, Alex.

00:18:09You needed me for something?

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

00:18:21You need a date?

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

00:18:25So, if you have any plans, just go ahead and cancel them.

00:18:30And here.

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

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

00:18:38No problem. I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.

00:18:41Got it. Under $10,000.

00:18:48Oh.

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

00:18:52I like red.

00:18:54I have a seat.

00:18:55I'll be right back.

00:19:09Oh.

00:19:09I don't want to keep it under $10,000.

00:19:11Oh.

00:19:12I don't want, I don't want to keep it under $10,000.

00:19:48I thought I said I like red.

00:20:03Did you?

00:20:05Oops.

00:20:06Must have slipped my mind.

00:20:18It looks like we're almost there.

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

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

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

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

00:20:54You ready?

00:20:57It's easy.

00:21:27So, Miss Livingston.

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

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

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

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

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

00:22:00I'm not embarrassed.

00:22:01It's just private.

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

00:22:11I see.

00:22:14I apologize.

00:22:15I didn't know.

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

00:22:21Hey.

00:22:21Alex.

00:22:25I mean, I'm sorry.

00:22:34I think I owe you a drink.

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

00:22:38Look at you.

00:22:46You look stunning.

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

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

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

00:22:56It's perfect.

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

00:22:58Picked it out just for you.

00:23:19Hey, bro.

00:23:20Is that for me?

00:23:21Get your own drink, bro.

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

00:23:27Dane?

00:23:28I knew it.

00:23:29My guest.

00:23:30You know what I mean.

00:23:31Yeah, yeah, sure.

00:23:31I know what you mean.

00:23:32I'll take that.

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

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

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

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

00:23:51Everyone else is dancing.

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

00:23:55And besides,

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

00:24:02Right.

00:24:02So,

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

00:24:18Chase?

00:24:20Of course not.

00:24:22That was nothing.

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

00:24:26If I didn't know any better,

00:24:27I'd say you sound jealous.

00:24:30Don't be ridiculous.

00:24:32I'm just looking out for my assistant.

00:24:35Well, I doubt he's interested.

00:24:39He's, you know.

00:24:42He's what?

00:24:45You don't know?

00:24:49Never mind.

00:24:49So,

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

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

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

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

00:24:58I'm somewhat busy running

00:24:59the largest shipping company in America.

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

00:25:04Lincoln.

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

00:25:08Just focus on steering clear

00:25:09of an office romance,

00:25:11Miss Livingston.

00:25:12It's unprofessional.

00:25:17What?

00:25:17This?

00:25:19This is just two coworkers dancing.

00:25:21Right.

00:25:23A totally normal

00:25:25boss slash assistant slow dance.

00:25:28It's completely innocent.

00:25:30Hmm.

00:25:31They're rarely touching.

00:25:37Lincoln.

00:25:40Dad.

00:25:42Well, some of our board members

00:25:44are already here.

00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.

00:25:48Miss Livingston?

00:25:48Shall we?

00:25:56Well, Mr. Harris was just saying

00:25:58that he was very impressed

00:25:59with your recent progress.

00:26:01Wonderful to see

00:26:02that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.

00:26:08Miss Livingston has been

00:26:09a welcomed addition.

00:26:11Oh, yes.

00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.

00:26:14Nice work.

00:26:16Yes, and we're also

00:26:16improving transit times.

00:26:18I'll actually be in

00:26:19New York next week.

00:26:30Team there and finalizing everything,

00:26:32making sure everything's

00:26:33running smoothly.

00:26:34I'm Lincoln.

00:26:35What are you doing here?

00:26:37I just thought I'd stop by.

00:26:38I thought you could use

00:26:39the moral support.

00:26:41Where's Malia?

00:26:42I got a babysitter.

00:26:43I think everyone knows

00:26:46Camilla, Malia's mother.

00:26:51Who's this?

00:26:53Uh, no one.

00:26:54Just, uh, my assistant.

00:26:57Alex.

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

00:27:02As I was saying,

00:27:03the transit times in New York

00:27:04can really...

00:27:05Come on, Lincoln.

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

00:27:07It's a party.

00:27:09No one wants to talk

00:27:09about business.

00:27:11Am I right?

00:27:12Let's dance.

00:27:13Maybe later.

00:27:15These gentlemen

00:27:15are on the board.

00:27:17You don't mind

00:27:18if I steal them, do you?

00:27:19What are you doing?

00:27:30Are you drunk?

00:27:30The whole office is here.

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

00:27:33And there's a reason

00:27:34for that, Camilla.

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

00:27:37You made that perfectly clear

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

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

00:27:42I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.

00:27:44I just...

00:27:46I miss you.

00:27:49And I was thinking about

00:27:50how we used to come

00:27:50to these things together.

00:27:53I was hoping you'd dance with me.

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

00:28:00One dance.

00:28:17Excuse me, gentlemen.

00:28:19Doesn't this feel nice?

00:28:24I know you miss this.

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

00:28:33Relax, Lincoln.

00:28:34So 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

00:28:42about missing me.

00:28:44I know you.

00:28:45I know you.

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

00:28:47Have you given any more thought

00:28:49to the conversation we had

00:28:50the other day?

00:28:52Malia's getting older.

00:28:54It's only getting harder

00:28:55to take care of her,

00:28:56especially with her situation.

00:28:59We should be a family.

00:29:01We tried.

00:29:02And failed miserably.

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

00:29:06Are you sure about that?

00:29:07Camilla, don't.

00:29:11Kiss me.

00:29:13If you don't feel anything,

00:29:14I'll leave you alone.

00:29:20Stop.

00:29:20Jesus.

00:29:21Don't tell me

00:29:25you didn't enjoy that.

00:29:28Lincoln, are you listening to me?

00:29:31Look at me.

00:29:32You don't want me

00:29:33to make a scene, do you?

00:29:35Because you know I will.

00:29:38Let me make something

00:29:39very clear to you.

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

00:29:43Camilla.

00:29:43You hear me?

00:29:44Ever.

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

00:29:47But...

00:29:48Right now.

00:29:51Not having any fun?

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

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

00:30:31And her sorority sisters

00:30:32are drinking me under the table.

00:30:35And Agnes,

00:30:36her old roommate,

00:30:37slept with the bartender.

00:30:38So it's the last call, right?

00:30:41I go up to the bar

00:30:42looking for this guy.

00:30:43Aggie's dragging him

00:30:44to the bathroom.

00:30:45Oh my God!

00:30:46Stop!

00:30:49Something funny?

00:30:54Time to go.

00:30:58It's okay.

00:30:59Arturo.

00:31:09Take Miss Livingston home.

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

00:31:12You know that?

00:31:12You're getting wasted

00:31:13at a company party.

00:31:15It's totally inappropriate.

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

00:31:19Your girlfriend was treating you

00:31:20like a stripper pole.

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

00:31:22Okay, first of all,

00:31:23she's my ex.

00:31:25And second of all,

00:31:26I can do whatever I want.

00:31:27I'm a CEO.

00:31:29Interrupt.

00:31:30Right.

00:31:31Is that why

00:31:32you're cozying up to my dad?

00:31:34What, my title

00:31:34not good enough for you?

00:31:35Charm your way up

00:31:36the corporate ladder?

00:31:37CEO this week,

00:31:39chairman the next.

00:31:40Meanwhile,

00:31:41you're wasted

00:31:41hanging all over Jace.

00:31:42What do you care anyway?

00:31:44I thought you weren't

00:31:44attracted to me.

00:31:46I'm not.

00:31:48Oh yeah?

00:31:49Yeah.

00:31:51Liar.

00:31:58I didn't expect you to have

00:32:14tattoos.

00:32:16Yeah, well there's a lot

00:32:17you don't know about me.

00:32:18That cost $8,000.

00:32:28Yeah, my fucking money.

00:32:31Now get the hell over here.

00:32:39Is that a scar?

00:32:42It's odd.

00:32:43Fuck me.

00:32:49Leave us at some

00:32:50love away

00:32:50tonight

00:32:51that we both wear

00:32:52I wanna be with you

00:32:54I wanna be with you

00:32:56I wanna be with you

00:32:57We can't let this slip away

00:32:59You know

00:33:00I won't give a stain

00:33:01Cause I wanna be with you

00:33:03I wanna be with you

00:33:05I wanna run away

00:33:06We can't let this go too waste

00:33:08I don't wanna put it

00:33:10We can't let this go too waste

00:33:11We can't let this go too waste

00:33:12We can't let this go too waste

00:33:13We can't let this go too waste

00:33:14We can't let this go too waste

00:33:15We can't let this go too waste

00:33:16We can't let this go too waste

00:33:17We can't let this go too waste

00:33:18We can't let this go too waste

00:33:19We can't let this go too waste

00:33:20We can't let this go too waste

00:33:21We can't let this go too waste

00:33:22We can't let this go too waste

00:33:23We can't let this go too waste

00:33:24We can't let this go too waste

00:33:25We can't let this go too waste

00:33:26We can't let this go too waste

00:33:27We can't let this go too waste

00:33:28We can't let this go too waste

00:33:29We can't let this go too waste

00:33:30We can't let this go too waste

00:33:31We can't let this go too waste

00:33:32You, uh, want to come inside?

00:33:48Uh, no.

00:33:52Right. No.

00:33:55Of course not.

00:33:56Um, well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.

00:34:15Morning.

00:34:21Morning.

00:34:26I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.

00:34:36It's not your fault. Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?

00:34:39Me, Dad.

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

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

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

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

00:34:52Camilla really messed him up.

00:34:53Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?

00:34:57That bitch is a gold digger.

00:35:00I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.

00:35:03Took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did,

00:35:05Oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?

00:35:10Jesus.

00:35:12Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.

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

00:35:17Look, I gotta run to a meeting.

00:35:25How about you come over for dinner tonight?

00:35:27Seven?

00:35:28I'll text you the details.

00:35:31Yeah, I'm down.

00:35:32Great.

00:35:33Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.

00:35:54Dad insisted.

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

00:36:00I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.

00:36:03You know, like normal business partners and not...

00:36:06Family members.

00:36:07Exactly.

00:36:12Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?

00:36:14Grandpa, I told you it's me.

00:36:21You?

00:36:22Ah, you're too tall.

00:36:24No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.

00:36:28Has anybody seen my granddaughter?

00:36:30Hmm.

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

00:36:35Are we expecting company?

00:36:37Company?

00:36:44Tell him to send an extra plate.

00:36:55Alex?

00:36:56Lincoln?

00:36:57You made it!

00:36:58Ah!

00:37:14I didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.

00:37:24Me neither.

00:37:36It's okay.

00:37:37I don't like asparagus either.

00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.

00:37:42Well, he's right.

00:37:45It is.

00:37:47Look on the bright side.

00:37:48At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?

00:37:59That was delicious.

00:38:00All right.

00:38:04Miss Livingston.

00:38:07A word.

00:38:12Uh, Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.

00:38:20Alex, I've seen a change in my son.

00:38:24Really?

00:38:25It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.

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

00:38:32You planned this, didn't you?

00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.

00:38:36Thank you, Jace.

00:38:38You're very welcome.

00:38:39Jace, don't.

00:38:40Bye.

00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?

00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?

00:38:47But I wanna hang out with Alex.

00:38:49Please, Daddy, please.

00:38:56Works for me.

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

00:39:11Hey.

00:39:13Come on.

00:39:14Get your bed.

00:39:16Come on.

00:39:17Come on.

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

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

00:39:59I like her, too.

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

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

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

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

00:40:24What do you want me to say, Alex?

00:40:27I...

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

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

00:40:36But I also can't accept the fact that...

00:40:38Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...

00:40:43I thought I did something wrong.

00:40:46I want you, Alex.

00:40:48That's the problem.

00:40:49What if we separate church and state?

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

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

00:41:08Unprofessional?

00:41:09I think the light is sliding.

00:41:11I'm asleep, walking through.

00:41:14All of my problems, I know.

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

00:41:21Every night is the same.

00:41:23I keep running fast, left and right.

00:41:26Wondering where my head's going, though.

00:41:29I'm asleep, walking through.

00:41:33All of my problems, I know.

00:41:35Malia, hurry, come on.

00:41:39Come on, come on.

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

00:41:43Mom!

00:41:44Faster!

00:41:46Hey, uh, Lakin's not here right now.

00:41:50He just landed in New York.

00:41:51New York.

00:41:52I know.

00:41:53But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.

00:41:57Going to LA.

00:41:59Business trip.

00:42:00So, 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?

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

00:42:22Hey, hey.

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

00:42:25Okay.

00:42:31Alex, 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.

00:43:20Okay, 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.

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

00:44:14Shit!

00:44:14I mean, shoot!

00:44:17Oh my god!

00:44:35Malia!

00:44:37Malia!

00:44:40I'm sorry.

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

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

00:44:56Better?

00:45:00Good.

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

00:45:06No.

00:45:06I don't know.

00:45:29Malia?

00:45:30Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?

00:45:34You can talk to me.

00:45:42Believe me, I understand.

00:45:46What do you mean?

00:45:51It's from surgery.

00:50:56you don't need to know my sob story

00:51:00you know that malia's heart condition is congenital

00:51:04i know

00:51:06yeah well she doesn't know everything

00:51:10look i've never told anybody this

00:51:12but

00:51:14malia was more with her defect

00:51:16because camilla

00:51:18she took diet pills

00:51:20during the pregnancy

00:51:22so she wouldn't gain weight

00:51:24or lose out on modeling gigs

00:51:26i only found out before it was too late

00:51:28oh my god

00:51:30it's terrible

00:51:32truth is

00:51:34she never really wanted to have a baby

00:51:36i did

00:51:38i was the one who wanted us to be a happy family

00:51:42turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket

00:51:44i'm so sorry

00:51:48leakin

00:51:50the only reason she wants to get back together

00:51:54is for the money

00:51:56not for me

00:51:58certainly not for her daughter

00:52:00she's always been irresponsible

00:52:02but this latest stunt

00:52:04abandoning her daughter like that

00:52:06it's

00:52:08have you thought about pursuing soul custody

00:52:10i want to but

00:52:12it's too risky

00:52:14the courts usually side with the mother

00:52:16i can't risk losing my daughter

00:52:18they don't always

00:52:20you

00:52:22melia told me this wasn't the first time camilla's done something like this

00:52:26what did she say to you

00:52:28camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips

00:52:32it's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met

00:52:36you should have a case here

00:52:38i don't know

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

00:52:40i mean

00:52:41making her testify against her own mother

00:52:44i can't do that

00:52:45i know you want what's best for melia

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

00:52:59melia deserves people in her life who care about her

00:53:02you're right

00:53:04melia deserves better

00:53:06i will talk to her this week

00:53:17thank you

00:54:06actually 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

00:54:18wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you

00:54:20great

00:54:21not exactly

00:54:23he told you all of that? what are you a miracle worker? a saint?

00:54:36hardly

00:54:38look

00:54:39if i tell you something you promise not to say anything to anyone

00:54:43cross my inner hope to die

00:54:46cross my inner hope to die

00:54:51your dad is paying me to do this

00:54:53to 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

00:55:00you don't understand

00:55:01your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life

00:55:05if i stuck it out as lakin's assistant

00:55:08he wanted me to keep him away from camilla

00:55:10by any means necessary

00:55:12he said

00:55:14now that lakin and i are

00:55:15fucking like rabbits

00:55:16co-workers with benefits?

00:55:19excuse me

00:55:21it just

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

00:55:25why? because 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

00:55:31he'll think i'm just using him

00:55:34well

00:55:35maybe he doesn't have to find out

00:55:37jace

00:55:38i can't keep lying to him

00:55:39i think

00:55:42i think i'm falling for him

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

00:55:58thanks for meeting me

00:56:00i wanted to talk to you about

00:56:02your new girlfriend?

00:56:04what?

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

00:56:08you know i'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life

00:56:13especially that one

00:56:15what do you mean by that one?

00:56:17alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in LA

00:56:21it was a work trip

00:56:23oh really?

00:56:33she'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

00:56:38enough 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

00:56:51you just want my money

00:56:52i see right through you Camilla

00:56:54you think i want money?

00:56:56how much do you know about your little assistant?

00:56:58what do you mean?

00:57:00i hate to be the one to tell you this

00:57:06but

00:57:08that girl is using you Lakin

00:57:11i overheard jason her laughing about it in the break room earlier today

00:57:19what do you mean she's using me?

00:57:23the only reason why she's working for you

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

00:57:31no she wouldn't do that that's not who she is

00:57:36if you don't believe me

00:57:38just ask your dad

00:57:39just ask your dad

00:57:48is it true?

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

00:57:52did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?

00:57:58it was for your own good

00:58:00do 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

00:58:10this has nothing to do with the company

00:58:12your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader

00:58:17as in does the way you close yourself off from any connection, romantic or...

00:58:22so what, i can't be CEO if i don't open my heart?

00:58:24that is bullshit

00:58:26my love life is none of your business

00:58:28but the well-being of my granddaughter still is

00:58:31Alex is a smart girl with a good heart

00:58:35she cares about Malia

00:58:38and she challenges you

00:58:40she is fired

00:58:42thanks to you

00:59:00what are you doing here?

00:59:11we need to talk

00:59:13we are?

00:59:15you wanna 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?

00:59:22because you still love her?

00:59:24god i'm so fucking stupid

00:59:25were you ever gonna tell me about your little deal with my dad?

00:59:29god, Alex

00:59:32i trusted you

00:59:34i told you things that i've never even told my family

00:59:37and this whole time

01:01:21you are out of your mind

01:01:26Showing up here is insane.

01:01:28Like you don't fucking love it.

01:01:30I don't.

01:01:32I've changed.

01:01:34I've heard that before.

01:01:36God, it turns me on when you act like...

01:01:38Alright, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.

01:01:40Have you left your house yet?

01:01:42Well, I'm gonna try and get my old job back,

01:01:44so I'll probably be out of the house

01:01:46five days a week.

01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped

01:01:50on the same days a lot.

01:01:52You can take some time to mourn.

01:01:56I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.

01:02:00I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.

01:02:14What's wrong with me?

01:02:16Nothing.

01:02:18Absolutely nothing.

01:02:26I'm sorry.

01:02:28I just...

01:02:32I think I want to be alone tonight.

01:02:40Hey.

01:02:42Text me, okay?

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

01:02:48I will.

01:02:50there's no instructors.

01:02:52I promise.

01:02:54Wait.

01:02:56Wait.

01:03:28Hey, I'd like to apply for a job.

01:03:52I used to work here.

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

01:03:58You 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.

01:06:24Call her.

01:06:35Call her.

01:06:36Call her.

01:06:37Oh.

01:06:40Call her.

01:06:41Call her.

01:06:42I don't know.

01:07:12Fuck him.

01:07:33So, that's $250,000 a year.

01:07:37Every year.

01:07:38Until Malia's 18th birthday.

01:07:40So, in nine more years, then?

01:07:43Eight.

01:07:44You don't even know how old your daughter is?

01:08:05Pleasure doing business with you.

01:08:10You don't want to say goodbye?

01:08:13She's upstairs waiting.

01:08:15I can't.

01:08:16I have a flight to Miami in an hour.

01:08:18Give her a kiss for me, will you?

01:08:20Good fucking riddance.

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

01:08:35Only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.

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

01:08:41All right?

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

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

01:08:53Congrats, bro.

01:08:55Let's celebrate.

01:08:56Come on.

01:09:07We should be celebrating.

01:09:09Ding dong.

01:09:10The witch agreed to settle.

01:09:13Yeah.

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

01:09:16knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.

01:09:20On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.

01:09:23You're going to be CEO in a month.

01:09:25What else could you want?

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

01:09:32She blocked my number.

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

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

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

01:09:41Well, insane or romantic?

01:09:46She 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?

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

01:10:36Uh, Jace brought me.

01:10:38To celebrate.

01:10:39I won full custody.

01:10:44Congratulations.

01:10:45Yeah, I, um,

01:10:46I couldn't have done it without you.

01:10:49Uh.

01:10:50Alex, I, um,

01:10:51I want to apologize.

01:10:54I made a huge mistake.

01:10:56Thanks.

01:10:57I actually need to take my break right now.

01:10:59Look.

01:11:14No!

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.

01:11:58Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.

01:12:03The stress that I fucking caused her.

01:12:07And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either. I should have just left her alone.

01:12:12It's not your fault, Lincoln.

01:12:13And 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...

01:12:37I thought that I might have lost you.

01:12:39I thought that I might have lost you.

01:12:56Thank you. I'm fine.

01:12:59You should leave.

01:13:00What? What are you talking about?

01:13:04Lincoln, why are you here?

01:13:06I'm here because I care about you. Because...

01:13:08Because you feel guilty.

01:13:11This is what you do.

01:13:13You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.

01:13:16No.

01:13:16It's not like that.

01:13:18I don't want to be your charity case, Lincoln.

01:13:21I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.

01:13:24You are not a burden.

01:13:28I don't think that.

01:13:31I'd like you to go.

01:13:32I'd like you to go.

01:13:54Morning, sleepyhead.

01:14:21It's good to see you awake.

01:14:22You had me worried there for a minute.

01:14:29I got you something.

01:14:44This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.

01:14:49Where did all the flowers come from?

01:14:53It was Dad.

01:14:55You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Mulya while he can watch us over you here.

01:15:01Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.

01:15:04Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.

01:15:07He 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.

01:15:17What are you talking about?

01:15:18Look at me, Jace. I'm literally fucking scarred. Why should I-

01:15:23Hey, Alex.

01:15:25You deserve love.

01:15:29It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.

01:15:31I didn't realize that.

01:15:32I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

01:15:45Jesus.

01:15:57Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

01:15:59Fuck.

01:16:00I'm sorry, I just...

01:16:02I thought you might need some help.

01:16:04Doctor said no unnecessary stress.

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

01:16:13Sorry.

01:16:14Thank you, but I've got it from here.

01:16:17Alex, you're recovering from surgery.

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

01:16:44Malia asks about you all the time, you know.

01:16:50She misses you.

01:16:52Everyone misses you.

01:16:54My dad, Jace, and 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 spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.

01:17:13And 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.

01:17:19What you told me about your parents, and how they sacrificed everything for you, do you

01:17:28really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?

01:17:32They lost everything they had because of me.

01:17:35Yeah, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again,

01:17:39they would do it exactly the same?

01:17:40That's not sacrifice.

01:17:44That's love.

01:17:46I've been thinking about it a lot.

01:17:49About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.

01:17:53I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.

01:17:58But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me,

01:18:02is that supporting someone, it's not about an obligation or to force an outcome.

01:18:11It is simply because you love them.

01:18:17Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong,

01:18:26and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.

01:18:30I can't stop.

01:18:33It'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.

01:18:42Prove it? How?

01:18:52Is that...

01:18:54Scars.

01:18:56Just like yours.

01:18:57Are those tattoos?

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

01:19:06I 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.

01:19:21I love you, too.

01:19:26I love you, too.

01:19:28What are you doing next week?

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

01:19:57Another gala?

01:20:02Something like that.

01:20:04And 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.

01:20:25Hope I will ask you.

01:20:34What did you wish for?

01:20:37A new mommy.

01:20:40Most of the time, sweetheart.

01:20:43I got you something.

01:20:47It 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.

01:21:13Don't hold back tonight, oh yeah, the sky's going black, so come with us.

01:21:22Don't hold back tonight, oh yeah, the sky's going black, so come with us.

01:21:33Don't hold back.
