00:07:49all right let's get started did you bring your notepad from the restaurant
00:07:55coffee black every day within five minutes of my arrival lunch will be at 1pm sharp no fast food
00:08:11are you writing this down i also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from amelio's

00:08:26that means you can go
00:08:41laken i don't like lucifer
00:08:45his bark's worse than his bite trust me
00:08:47i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are alex lincoln'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 you're gonna need that
00:09:10we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution
00:09:24centers are already slowing down operation times and shifting our operations to detroit might create
00:09:30bottlenecks we just can't afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:36i need solutions faster not more excuses people we'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 huh so 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
00:10:12but 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
00:10:23actually that could work worth a shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:30the details is 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
00:10:47alex has to go absolutely not she stays look dad i understand that i've been through an assistant or two
00:10:58seven this year this girl is overstepping she's jumping on executive leadership calls yes she was
00:11:04right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my position with the
00:11:09board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job like a good leader isn't threatened by his
00:11:16employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control well the
00:11:23board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak
00:11:29you have to keep alex what are you saying you fire her and the board will find another ceo
00:11:59who's that supposed to be that's what's wrong with her that's what's wrong with her that's what's wrong
00:12:02that's right
00:12:03hey malia right how are you feeling better thank you for helping me the other day of course you know

00:12:19malia honey why 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...

00:12:35How about I leave you alone, huh?
00:12:38I quit.

00:13:14I'm not going to stay here and subject myself to this bullshit any longer.
00:13:18I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.

00:13:23I'll give you a four-day work week, whatever you want.
00:13:28Look, you can't leave, okay?
00:13:32I need you to stay.

00:14:25Fine.
00:14:28No more.
00:14:28And no more calling me waitress.
00:14:30It's Miss Livingston or Alex.
00:14:32Got 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.
00:15:02Sorry I'm late.
00:15:17Traffic was hell.
00:15:20A menu for you, sir.
00:15:25Hi, Malia.
00:15:27Can't compete with that iPad.
00:15:30We ordered drinks.
00:15:31A 2005 Roman A. Conti.
00:15:36Best bottle on the menu.
00:15:39It better be.
00:15:40It costs $15,000.
00:15:41We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:44Not until after I get board approval on.
00:15:50So, what did you want to talk to me about?
00:15:55Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:16:01It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:16:05Malia, honey, you and I talked about this, right?
00:16:08Your mother and I love you very much.
00:16:12It's just...
00:16:13It's not easy for us to be around each other right now.
00:16:19Maybe.
00:16:19We could try a little harder.
00:16:30Hey.
00:16:32I just wanted to give you a status report before I head home.
00:16:35Thank you, Miss Livingston.
00:16:36So, regarding South Korea, I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week.
00:16:42I'm working...
00:16:43Like the world was ending.
00:16:47You would pretend that it's all right.
00:16:50It's all right.
00:16:52It's all right.
00:16:53I'm working...
00:16:54I can...
00:16:56Are 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.
00:17:06I meant you can just take it from the top.
00:17:14I gotta go.
00:17:14No soy sauce in this whole building?
00:17:29They're still here.
00:17:30That's surprising.
00:17:33You and my brother are getting along better?
00:17:35Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:40So, that little argument you guys had the other day,
00:17:42what was that?
00:17:42A lover's quarrel?
00:17:45Look who's blushing.
00:17:47I am not blushing, and that wasn't a lover's quarrel.
00:17:51He doesn't like me like that.
00:17:53So he didn't run after you in the elevator and sweep you off your feet?
00:17:58Chase.
00:17:59Lakin.
00:18:01So we were just talking about you.
00:18:03Lovely assistant you've got here.
00:18:05Such a sweetheart.
00:18:07Anywho, I gotta go.
00:18:08I'll talk to you later, Alex.
00:18:10You needed me for something?
00:18:11The company's hosting a charity fundraiser tomorrow night, and I need you to go with me.
00:18:21You need a date?
00:18:23No.
00:18:23What 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.
00:18:39I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.
00:18:41Got it.
00:18:46Under $10,000.
00:18:48Oh.
00:18:50And seeing as I'm buying, I like red.
00:18:54Okay.
00:18:54Yeah.
00:18:54What?
00:18:55What?
00:19:04I'm not sure.
00:19:10What?
00:19:15I don't want to see you in
00:19:19I don't want to see you in
00:19:34I don't want to see you in
00:19:45I thought I said I like red
00:20:02Did you?
00:20:05Oops, must have slipped my mind
00:20:15Looks like we're almost there
00:20:24Remember, this is a work event
00:20:34The whole board is going to be there
00:20:36It's easy on the drinks
00:20:38Do as I say, not as I do
00:20:50You ready?
00:20:57I don't want to see you in a good place
00:21:08So, 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?
00:21:51I 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.
00:22:03My 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.
00:22:19Hey, Alex, I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:28I 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 even me straight.
00:22:55Picked it out just for you.
00:22:56It's perfect.
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:58For you.
00:23:19Hey, 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.
00:23:24Dane?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29Uh, my guest.
00:23:30You know what I mean.
00:23:31Yeah, sure, I know what you mean.
00:23:32I'll take that, I'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.
00:23:56And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right.
00:24:15So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:20Jase?
00:24:21Of course not.
00:24:22That was nothing.
00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:26If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:30Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:32I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's, you know.
00:24:42He's what?
00:24:43You don't know.
00:24:44You don't know?
00:24:46Never 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, if 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.
00:25:04That's none of your concern.
00:25:08Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:12It's unprofessional.
00:25:14Well, what, this?
00:25:19This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:22Right.
00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.
00:25:27It's completely innocent.
00:25:30Hmm.
00:25:31They're rarely touching.
00:25:37Lincoln.
00:25:40Dad.
00:25:42Well, 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?
00:25:51Well, 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.
00:26:08Miss 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.
00:26:21Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34I like it.
00:26:35What are you doing here?
00:26:37I 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.
00:26:47Who'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, the transit time's in New York.
00:27:04Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:06Don't be a poor.
00:27:07It's a party.
00:27:09No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:11Am I right?
00:27:11Let's dance.
00:27:13Maybe later.
00:27:15These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:25What are you doing?
00:27:30Are you drunk?
00:27:31The whole office is here.
00:27:32We never have any time together.
00:27:33And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:27:35We're not together anymore.
00:27:37You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.
00:27:40Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:42I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
00:27:44I just...
00:27:46I miss you.
00:27:49And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.
00:27:53I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:27:56For old time's sake.
00:28:00One dance.
00:28:01One dance.
00:28:01Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:25This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Flax, Lincoln.
00:28:35So 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.
00:28:53It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.
00:28:59We should be a family.
00:29:01We tried.
00:29:02And failed miserably.
00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla, don't.
00:29:11Kiss me.
00:29:13If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:20Stop.
00:29:21Jesus.
00:29:23Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:27Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me.
00:29:32You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:35Because you know I will.
00:29:38Let me make something very clear to you.
00:29:41We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:29:43You hear me?
00:29:44Ever.
00:29:46Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:30:12Not having any fun?
00:30:13Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:28It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:30And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:35And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:40So it's the last call, right?
00:30:41I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:30:43Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.
00:30:45Oh my God!
00:30:46Stop!
00:30:47Something funny?
00:30:54Time to go.
00:30:59It's okay.
00:30:59Arturo, took Miss Livingston home.
00:31:10You're being incredibly rude, you know that?
00:31:12You're getting wasted at a company party.
00:31:15It's totally inappropriate.
00:31:17Don't you inappropriate me.
00:31:19Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.
00:31:21You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:22Okay, first of all, she's my ex.
00:31:25And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:27I'm a CEO.
00:31:29Interrupt.
00:31:30Right.
00:31:31Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:31:34What, my title not good enough for you?
00:31:36Charming your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:37CEO this week, chairman the next.
00:31:40Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.
00:31:43What do you care anyway?
00:31:44I thought you weren't attracted to me.
00:31:46I'm not.
00:31:48Oh yeah?
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:51Liar.
00:31:58I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:15Yeah, well, there's a lot you don't know about me.
00:32:26That cost $8,000.
00:32:28Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:31Now get the hell over here.
00:32:33Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:32:47I don't know what I'm talking about.
00:32:49Leave us at some of the way.
00:32:51Tonight that we both wear it.
00:32:53I wanna be with you.
00:32:55I wanna be with you.
00:32:57I wanna be with you.
00:32:57We can't let this slip away.
00:32:59You know, I don't want you to stay.
00:33:01Yes, I wanna be with you.
00:33:04I wanna be with you.
00:33:05I run away.
00:33:06We can't let this go too waste.
00:33:09I don't want to put it all over.
00:33:11I don't want to die.
00:33:17I don't want to die.
00:33:18I don't want to be with you.
00:33:25Okay.
00:33:25You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:48Uh, no.
00:33:52Right.
00:33:54No.
00:33:55Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:19Morning.
00:34:21Morning.
00:34:22I 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.
00:34:37Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:39Me.
00:34:40Dad.
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?
00:34:58That 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, oh, surprise,
00:35:06surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:08Jesus.
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.
00:35:22Look, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:26How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details.
00:35:29Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:32Great.
00:35:52Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:55Dad insisted.
00:35:56Something about never getting to see Malia these days.
00:36:01I wanted to have the gala postmortem at the office.
00:36:04You know, like, normal business partners and not...
00:36:06Family members.
00:36:08Exactly.
00:36:12Did you, uh, give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me!
00:36:21You?
00:36:22Nah, you're too tall.
00:36:23Now, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.
00:36:28Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm.
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:33Hee hee hee.
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:37Company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:49Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:58You made it!
00:36:58Uh...
00:36:59Uh...
00:37:00Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:25Me neither.
00:37:30It's okay, I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:40My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:44He's right.
00:37:45It is.
00:37:46Look on the bright side, at least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:38:01That was delicious.
00:38:03All right.
00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:06A word.
00:38:13Mr. 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.
00:38:29Keep 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.
00:38:38Thank you, Jace.
00:38:39You're very welcome.
00:38:40Jace, don't.
00:38:41Bye.
00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:45You have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:47But I want to hang out with Alex, please, Daddy, please.
00:38:57Works for me.
00:39:09I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:12Aw.
00:39:13Come on.
00:39:14I think you're bad.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:46She likes you, you know?
00:39:47She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:48I like her, too.
00:39:49So, are we gonna figure out what happened?
00:39:53Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:39:54Your job is not in danger.
00:39:55Okay.
00:39:56That doesn't totally answer my question.
00:39:57Okay.
00:39:58That doesn't totally answer my question.
00:39:59I don't know.
00:40:00I don't know.
00:40:01I don't know.
00:40:02I don't know.
00:40:03I don't know.
00:40:04I don't know.
00:40:05I don't know.
00:40:06I don't know.
00:40:07I don't know.
00:40:08So, are we gonna figure out what happened?
00:40:09I don't know.
00:40:10I don't know.
00:40:11I don't know.
00:40:12I don't know.
00:40:13I don't know.
00:40:14I don't know.
00:40:15Your job is not in danger.
00:40:19Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:25What do you want me to say, Alex? I...
00:40:28I can't get involved with my assistant, not 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 Will ever...
00:40:43I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:45I want you, Alex.
00:40:47That's the problem.
00:40:55What if we separate church and state?
00:40:59At work, we're professional.
00:41:03But outside of work, we're...
00:41:07Unprofessional?
00:41:13I can't make it through.
00:41:15I can't make it through.
00:41:19Every night is the same.
00:41:21I keep running fast.
00:41:23Left and right.
00:41:25Wondering where my head's going now.
00:41:27I'm asleep walking through all my problems now.
00:41:37Malia, hurry. Come on.
00:41:39Go. Come on.
00:41:41Let's go, Malia. Come on.
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster!
00:41:46Hey, uh...
00:41:48Lakin's not here right now. He just landed in New York.
00:41:51I know.
00:41:52But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:57Going to LA. Business trip.
00:41:59So, she's all yours.
00:42:01Oh, 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.
00:42:11I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:21Hey, hey.
00:42:23It's okay, Malia.
00:42:25Alex, what's going on?
00:42:39Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:40Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:43She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:45What?!
00:42:46Let me talk to her.
00:42:52Hi, honey. Are you okay?
00:42:53Hi.
00:42:54Listen, uh...
00:42:56Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:42:58I'm gonna be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is gonna take care of you, okay?
00:43:01Everything is fine.
00:43:02I love you.
00:43:03I love you, too.
00:43:09I should've known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:12So much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:14I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:17Okay.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Bye.
00:43:20Okay, so we'll get you fed, I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets back...
00:43:33Is that too much rice?
00:43:35I'm sorry.
00:43:36You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:45Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of.
00:43:51Sometimes 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.
00:44:13Shit!
00:44:14I mean...
00:44:15Shoot!
00:44:33Oh my god!
00:44:34Malia!
00:44:36Malia!
00:44:37I'm sorry.
00:44:38I didn't mean to...
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:41I didn't mean to...
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:01How will we order some pizza?
00:45:05Malia?
00:45:29Malia?
00:45:32Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:39You 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.
00:45:55Just like you.
00:45:56Really?
00:45:57I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:21Who is it?
00:46:23It's me.
00:46:27I can...
00:46:33Hi.
00:46:35Hi.
00:46:37Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:41I can see Malia.
00:46:51I can see Malia.
00:46:53I can see Malia.
00:46:55I can see Malia.
00:46:57I can see Malia.
00:46:59I can see Malia.
00:47:01I can see Malia.

00:48:51how are you going to do that
00:48:56let me show you
00:49:05it feels like i've been faking think there's a stranger here
00:49:10you're like the neighbors
00:49:15you're like the neighbors
00:49:29you know i think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:50so you want to tell me what happened here
00:49:59so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:04not really
00:50:10sorry i um i was just curious
00:50:15congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much
00:50:21too much
00:50:22this condition these bills this scar
00:50:27my parents were incredible
00:50:29they gave up everything for me
00:50:31they drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try
00:50:37and make my life normal
00:50:39now they're gone
00:50:41car accident
00:50:42car accident when i was a senior in high school
00:50:46i begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then
00:50:50alex sorry way too much information
00:50:53especially from a fuck buddy
00:50:55you don't need to know my sob story
00:50:59you 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
00:51:11look i've never told anybody this but
00:51:15malia was born with her defect because camilla
00:51:19she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight
00:51:23or lose out of modeling gigs i only found out before it was too late
00:51:28oh my god it's terrible truth is she never really wanted to have a baby
00:51:37i did i was the one who wanted us to be a happy family
00:51:42turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket
00:51:47i'm so sorry lincoln
00:51:51and the only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:54is for the money
00:51:56not for me and certainly not for her daughter
00:51:59you know she she's always been irresponsible but
00:52:02this latest stunt abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:08have 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 i i can't risk losing my daughter
00:52:18they don't always
00:52:22malia told me this wasn't the first time camilla's done something like this
00:52:25what did she say to you
00:52:28camilla 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
00:52:34i think you could have a case here i don't know
00:52:39i don't want to put her through that i mean making her testify against her own mother
00:52:44i can't do that i know you want what's best for malia
00:52:48and sharing her with camilla isn't it
00:52:50maybe you should just give camilla what she really wants
00:52:55and if that's money fine you have it
00:52:59malia deserves people in her life who care about her
00:53:02you're right malia deserves better
00:53:07i will talk to her this week
00:53:17thank you
00:53:20it seems like i owe you again
00:53:27greedy i meant breakfast
00:53:32you can cook yes i can for the right company
00:53:37i should have known someone near sugar would have such a sweet tooth
00:53:57shit fuck i'm sorry i didn't mean to
00:54:03it's okay really it's
00:54:06actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again
00:54:11thank you again for everything i know this wasn't part of the job description
00:54:15and i'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:24great not exactly
00:54:27he told you all of that what are you a miracle worker a saint
00:54:37hardly
00:54:37look if i tell you something you promise not to say anything to anyone
00:54:46cross my heart hope to die
00:54:47your dad is paying me to do this to help lakin
00:54:56that's what a job is you work for the company you know that right you 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 he said now that lakin and i are
00:55:15fucking like rabbits co-workers with benefits excuse me it just it seems wrong not to tell him
00:55:25why because you're helping him get his together and getting paid for it seems like a win-win to me
00:55:30it won't feel like that if he finds out he'll think i'm just using him well maybe he doesn't have
00:55:35to find out jace i can't keep lying to him i think i think i'm falling for him
00:55:48so more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:58thanks for meeting me i wanted to talk to you about your new girlfriend
00:56:03what i know all about your little sleepover you know i'd appreciate it if you told me before
00:56:11bringing another woman into our daughter's life especially that one what do you mean by that one
00:56:18alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in la it was a work trip oh really
00:56:33she's already proven to be way better at taking care of malia than you've ever been which is
00:56:36actually why i'm here enough is enough i want sole custody so this is it you want to break up our
00:56:47family for that lying you don't want a family you just want my money i see right through you camilla
00:56:53you think i want money how much do you know about your little assistant what do you mean
00:57:03i hate to be the one to tell you this but that girl is using you lakin
00:57:15i overheard jace and her laughing about it in the break room earlier today
00:57:19what do you mean she's using me the only reason why she's working for you
00:57:27is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me
00:57:33no she wouldn't do that that's not who she is if you don't believe me just ask your dad
00:57:39is it true lakin what are you doing here did you hire alex in order to keep tabs on me
00:57:58it was for your own good do not give me that father knows best routine
00:58:02this is a complete betrayal of my trust your personal issues were affecting not only the
00:58:07business but our family that is absurd this has nothing to do with the company your inability
00:58:12to cut camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader as it does the
00:58:18way you've closed yourself off from any connection romantic or so what i i can't be ceo if i don't
00:58:23open my heart that is bullshit my love life is none of your business but the well being of my granddaughter
00:58:30still has alex is a smart girl with a good heart she cares about malia and she challenges you she's fired thanks
00:58:42to you
00:58:56what are you doing here
00:59:10we need to talk we are you want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're
00:59:17getting back together is that why you haven't gotten custody of malia because you still love her god it

01:03:33Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:53I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:03You 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.
01:04:22Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:26Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:29We were just fucking, and now we're not.
01:04:30I'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.
01:04:44What 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, Lakin, 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.
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:13I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:16Are you good?
01:05:19I'm good.
01:05:37Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:40But 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, Lakin.
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.
01:06:00And why should I?
01:06:05Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:11Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:17Oh, my God.
01:06:38Oh, my God.
01:06:40Oh, my God.
01:06:42Oh, my God.
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.
01:07:45You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:07:46Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:12You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:14She'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.
01:08:32I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:35It 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?
01:08:41Well, if you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:54Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:13Yeah.
01:09:14And now Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:19Okay, on the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:23You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:26What else could you want?
01:09:28Maybe a certain little assistant that'll help you get custody.
01:09:32She blocked my number.
01:09:35And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:40That would make me look insane.
01:09:41Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:47She 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.
01:09:53But I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:59She's working here again?
01:10:02Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:04Go get her.
01:10:11Hi.
01:10:20Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln.
01:10:35What are you doing here?
01:10:37Jace brought me.
01:10:39To celebrate.
01:10:41I won full custody.
01:10:44Congratulations.
01:10:45Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:50Uh.
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.
01:11:05Okay.
01:11:05Okay.
01:11:05Someone call 9-1-1!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20It's okay.
01:11:20Any update?
01:11:35There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but the doctor said that she's in critical
01:11:50condition, 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.
01:12:04The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:08And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either.
01:12:10I, I, 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.
01:12:19Don't talk like that.
01:12:20Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:46Jesus Christ.
01:12:47I was so worried, I thought, I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:57I'm fine.
01:13:00You should leave.
01:13:02What?
01:13:03What are you talking about?
01:13:04Lincoln, why are you here?
01:13:06I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:09Because 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, it'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.
01:13:27You are not a burden.
01:13:28I don't think that.
01:13:31I'd like you to go.
01:13:32I don't want to be your charity case, Lincoln.
01:13:33I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:36I don't know.
01:14:06Morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:21It's good to see you awake.
01:14:24You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:30I got you something.
01:14:36This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:53It was Dad.
01:14:54He felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Malia while they can watch us over you here.
01:15:02Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:05Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:08He shouldn't have.
01:15:10You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:12Dad was good for it.
01:15:13It's done.
01:15:14I don't deserve it.
01:15:18What are you talking about?
01:15:20Look at me, Jace.
01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:15:23Why 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.
01:15:32Jesus.
01:15:57Sorry.
01:15:58I didn't mean to scare you.
01:16:00Fuck.
01:16:00I'm sorry.
01:16:01I just...
01:16:02I thought you might need some help.
01:16:05Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:08Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:14Sorry.
01:16:15Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:17Alex.
01:16:18You're recovering from surgery.
01:16:21Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:22Okay.
01:16:30Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:50She misses you.
01:16:53Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:03It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:07I can see that now.
01:17:09I've just...
01:17:10I'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 really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:33They 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, they 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.
01:17:50About 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.
01:17:57But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me, is that supporting someone, it's not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:12It is simply because you love them.
01:18:15Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:31I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:36And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:43Prove it? How?
01:18:45Is that a...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:59Are 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.
01:19:15Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:21Please.
01:19:25I love you too.
01:19:26I love you.
01:19:26What 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.
01:20:07Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:10Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:22Happy birthday to you.
01:20:29What did you wish for?
01:20:35A new mommy.
01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:45I 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.
01:20:56Just like you.
01:20:57I have two.
01:21:17I have two.
01:21:18I'm going back, so come with us, don't hold back
01:21:25And I'm going back, so come with us, don't hold back
