00:08:59unprofessional name calling i've said worse your secret safe with me alex get in here we need to
00:09:07roll some calls to south korea you're gonna need that coming
00:09:16we'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 we just can't afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:37i need solutions faster not more excuses people we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:44um 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 uh
00:10:06no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but cleveland's
00:10:13underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure it wouldn't solve all your
00:10:18problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely actually that could
00:10:24work worth a shot i 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 not yet

00:20:38Do as I say, not as I do.
00:20:54You ready?
00:20:57You ready?
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.
00:22:16I didn't know.
00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:21Hey.
00:22:21Alex.
00:22:26I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:34I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:37I'll be right back.
00:22:38Look, that's you.
00:22:46You look stunning.
00:22:49See the dress?
00:22:53Let's get turned 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?
00:22:58Picked it out just for me.
00:23:29Uh, my 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?
00:23:52Everyone else is dancing.
00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:55And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right.
00:24:02So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:18Jace?
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.
00:24:28Don'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.
00:24:40He's what?
00:24:45You 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.
00:25:17What?
00:25:17This?
00:25:18This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:22Right.
00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.
00:25:28It's completely innocent.
00:25:31We're barely 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?
00:25:56Well, 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.
00:26:08Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:11Oh, yes.
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:14Nice work.
00:26:16Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:18I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:20Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34I make it.
00:26:36What 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.
00:26:43I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:51Who's this?
00:26:53No one.
00:26:54Just my assistant.
00:26:57Alex.
00:26:59Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:00As I was saying, the transit times in New York, I really...
00:27:05Come on, Lincoln.
00:27:07Don't be a poor.
00:27:08It's a party.
00:27:09No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:11Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:14Maybe later.
00:27:15These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:19What were you doing?
00:27:30Are you drunk?
00:27:31The whole office is here.
00:27:32We never have any time together.
00:27:34And 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.
00:27:45I 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.
00:28:17Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:19Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:32Laxley again.
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 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?
00:28:51Malia is getting older.
00:28:52Malia is getting older.
00:28:54It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with our situation.
00:28:59We should be a family.
00:29:01We tried.
00:29:03And failed miserably.
00:29:05I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla, don't.
00:29:11Kiss me.
00:29:12If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:20Stop.
00:29:21Jesus.
00:29:21Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:28Liggett, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me.
00:29:33You 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.
00:29:44You hear me?
00:29:45Ever.
00:29:46Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:30:12Not having any fun?
00:30:13Yeah.
00:30:18Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:28This is my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:31And 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 last call, right?
00:30:41I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:30:43Aggy's dragging him to the bathroom.
00:30:45Oh my god, stop!
00:30:49Something funny?
00:30:54Time to go.
00:30:55It's okay.
00:31:07Arturo.
00:31:09Take 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.
00:31:18Don'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?
00:31:36Charm 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.
00:31:52I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:16Yeah, well, there's a lot you 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.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:32:48Yeah.
00:32:49Leave us a side to not the way,
00:32:51To the matter that we both will ever.
00:32:53I wanna be with you.
00:32:55I wanna be with you.
00:32:57We can't let this slip away.
00:32:59You know I won't give a stain.
00:33:01Cause I wanna be with you.
00:33:03I wanna be with you.
00:33:05Don't run away.
00:33:06We can't let this go too early.
00:33:09Cause I don't wanna know what it does.
00:33:12Don't let this go too early.
00:33:15Say that I will have a race.
00:33:17I'm a race.
00:33:18You, uh, wanna come inside?
00:33:48Uh, no Right, no, of course not, well, I guess, I'll see you on Monday
00:34:18Morning
00:34:20Morning
00:34:22I can't believe I risked my job for 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
00:34:40But I've seen how he is with Malia and
00:34:43She'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
00:35:02Took him, like, three years to come to his senses
00:35:04And when he finally did, oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:08Jesus
00:35:11Maybe 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
00:35:52Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner
00:35:54Dad insisted
00:35:56Something about never getting to see Malia
00:35:58These days
00:35:59I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office
00:36:02You know, like normal business partners and not
00:36:05Family members
00:36:06Exactly
00:36:12Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:18Grandpa, I told you it's me
00:36:20You?
00:36:21Ah, you're too tall
00:36:23No, my Malia, last time I saw her
00:36:25She was just about my knee high
00:36:27Knee high
00:36:28Has anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm
00:36:31Cause this little woman is an imposter
00:36:33Hehehe
00:36:36Are we expecting company?
00:36:37Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:55Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln
00:36:57You made it
00:36:58You made it
00:36:59Ah
00:37:00You didn't realize you were joining us, Alex
00:37:10Me neither
00:37:11It's okay, I don't like asparagus either
00:37:16My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me
00:37:17He's right
00:37:18It is

00:38:05A word
00:38:07Mr. Blainford
00:38:12About the other night
00:38:17I know the gala was a mess with Camilla
00:38:20Alex
00:38:21I have 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 Lakin some time alone
00:38:37Thank you, Jace, you're very welcome
00:38:39Jace, don't
00:38:40Bye bye
00:38:41Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:43Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:47But I wanna hang out with Alex, please
00:38:49Alex, please, daddy, please
00:38:56Works for me
00:39:09I'll be right back
00:39:10Hey
00:39:14I think you live
00:39:16Come on
00:39:17I can't
00:39:18ileri
00:39:19I
00:39:20What?
00:39:21You
00:39:22What?
00:39:23This is
00:39:24How many people
00:39:25And
00:39:26What?
00:39:27I'm
00:39:28Are you
00:39:30You
00:39:31How many people
00:39:32pointers
00:39:34Suppose you
00:39:37You
00:39:38Beh
00:39:40See
00:39:41You
00:39:42ED
00:39:43She likes you, you know?
00:39:56She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:40:00I 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.
00:40:26What 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
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 like...
00:41:11I'm asleep walking through
00:41:14All of my problems and no
00:41:17I can't make it through
00:41:20Every night is the same
00:41:23I keep running fast
00:41:24Left and right
00:41:26Wondering where my head's gone now
00:41:29I'm asleep walking through
00:41:33All of my problems and no
00:41:35Let's go, Malia, come on.
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster!
00:41:47Hey, uh...
00:41:49Lincoln's not here right now.
00:41:50He just landed in New York.
00:41:52New York.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:53But it turns out
00:41:55I 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...
00:42:03I'm not really here to be child care.
00:42:06I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:10Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:23Hey, hey.
00:42:24It's okay, Malia.
00:42:25Yeah.
00:42:32Alex, what's going on?
00:42:40Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:41Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:44She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:46What?
00:42:47Let me talk to her.
00:42:52Hi, honey.
00:42:53Are 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, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:02Everything is fine.
00:43:03I love you.
00:43:05I 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 went.
00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Okay, so we'll get you fed, I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad
00:43:32gets back, send you with rice.
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:41Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of.
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work
00:43:57trips.
00:44:00Work trips.
00:44:01Huh.
00:44:03Does your dad know about this?
00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:07She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit!
00:44:15I mean, shoot!
00:44:16Shoot!
00:44:20Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:42I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:05How would we order some pizza?
00:45:30Malia?
00:45:30Do 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.
00:45:56Just like you.
00:45:57Really?
00:45:57Really?
00:45:57I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:02I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:02I didn't know anyone's like me.
00:46:24It's me.
00:46:25It's me.
00:46:25lincoln hi hi uh can i see malia
00:46:55daddy shh it's okay sweetie i'm right here go back to sleep no stay

00:47:25it's all right with me
00:47:37where do you think you're going
00:48:04to find malia i've already had the driver pick her up and take her to school
00:48:10we're all alone what about work
00:48:16time off for good behavior
00:48:21thank you again for taking care of her
00:48:35it wasn't a problem
00:48:40apparently it is for her mother
00:48:44let me make it up to you
00:48:51how are you gonna do that
00:48:56i don't know if i can take it must be a monster in my life
00:49:04let me show you
00:49:16you're like the neighbors
00:49:38you know i think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:56so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:08not really
00:50:12sorry i um i was just curious
00:50:18congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much
00:50:21too much
00:50:22too much this condition these bills this scar my parents were incredible
00:50:30they gave up everything for me they drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for
00:50:35themselves to try and make my life normal and now they're gone
00:50:41car accident when 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 sorry way too much information especially from a buddy you don't need to know my sob story
00:50:57you know that malia's heart condition is congenital i know she told me yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:11look i've never told anybody this but
00:51:15malia was more with her defect because camilla
00:51:19she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out in modeling gigs
00:51:24i only found out before it was too late oh my god it's terrible truth is
00:51:34she never really wanted to have a baby i 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
00:51:48and the only reason she wants to get back together is for the money not for me and certainly not for her
00:51:58daughter you know she's always been irresponsible but this latest stunt you know abandoning her daughter
00:52:05like that it's have you thought about pursuing soul custody i want to but it's too risky and the
00:52:13courts usually side with the mother i i can't risk losing my daughter they 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 camilla 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
00:52:35i think you could have a case here i don't know
00:52:37i don't want to put her through that i mean making her testify against her own mother i i can't do
00:52:44that i know you want what's best for malia and sharing her with camilla isn't it
00:52:52maybe you should just give camilla what she really wants and if that's money fine you have it
00:52:59malia deserves people in her life who care about her you're right malia deserves better
00:53:05i will talk to her this week
00:53:17thank you
00:53:22seems like i owe you again
00:53:27greedy i meant breakfast
00:53:30you can cook yes i can for the right company
00:53:46ta-da
00:53:46i should have known someone named sugar would have such a sweet tooth
00:54:00shit fuck i'm sorry i i didn't mean to
00:54:04it's okay really it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again
00:54:09thank you again for everything i know this wasn't part of the job description and i'm sure dealing
00:54:17with 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 the saint hardly
00:54:40look 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 you work for the company you know that right you don't understand your dad
00:55:01offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if i stuck it out as
00:55:06lakin's assistant he wanted me to keep him away from camilla by any means necessary he said
00:55:12that now that lakin and i are looking like rabbits
00:55:18co-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
00:55:35have to find out chase i can't keep lying to him i think
00:55:42i 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
00:56:04what i 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 what do you mean by that one
00:56:18alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in l.a
00:56:21it was a work trip oh really
00:56:23she'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 enough is enough
00:56:40i want sole custody this is it you want to break up our family for that lying little
00:56:49you 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
00:56:59i hate to be the one to tell you this but that girl is using you lakin
00:57:15i overheard jason 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
00:57:40is 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
00:58:17as it does the way you close yourself off from any connection romantic or so what i i can't be ceo
00:58:23if i don't open my heart that is my love life is none of your business but the well-being of my
00:58:30granddaughter still is a smart girl with a good heart she cares about malia
00:58:38and she challenges you she's fired thanks to you
00:58:55what are you doing here
00:59:08we need to talk yeah 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
00:59:23god it was so stupid were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad
00:59:27god alex i trusted you i i told you things that i've never even told my family
00:59:37and this whole time you you were just in it for the money
00:59:40i that was before anything happened between us lakin i couldn't say no that kind of money you know my
00:59:50situation but i never meant to hurt you and fucking me what that was just a way to ensure job security
00:59:55that's all i am to you just a transaction of course not
01:00:02how dare you why should i believe you you know you're just like her

01:02:06what's wrong with me nothing absolutely nothing
01:02:20i'm sorry i think i want to be alone tonight

01:03:53I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:03:59You 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.
01:04:23You can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:29We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:32I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:36I don't.
01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:44What 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, Lincoln, I'm gay.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:59You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about
01:05:02his own life.
01:05:02I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:13I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:16Are you good?
01:05:24I'm good.
01:05:24I'm good.
01:05:32Suddenly, 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.
01:05:48She'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?
01:06:05Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:11Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:32Do you want to talk to them?
01:06:55Do you want toilit form?
01:06:57What is this?
01:06:58I saw you in your house.
01:06:59I saw you in your house.
01:07:01I saw you on your house.
01:07:01Fuck him.
01:07:31So, that's $250,000 a year, every year?
01:07:38Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:41So, in nine more years then?
01:07:43Eight.
01:07:45You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:01Pleasure 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.
01:08:33I'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, all right?
01:08:41Well, if you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:53Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:08:57Thanks.
01:08:58Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:10Ding dong, the 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.
01:09:26What else could you want?
01:09:26Maybe a certain little assistant that helped 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,
01:09:37begging for her to take me back.
01:09:40It would make me look insane.
01:09:42Well, 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.
01:09:56She's working here again?
01:10:02Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:04Go get her.
01:10:04I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:22Alex.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:35What are you doing here?
01:10:37Jace brought me to celebrate.
01:10:41I won full custody.
01:10:44Congratulations.
01:10:44Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:50Uh...
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.
01:11:04Alex, hey.
01:11:05Someone 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
01:11:46the doctor said that she's in critical condition,
01:11:52they're going to operate tomorrow,
01:11:53and 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 should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lincoln.
01:12:13And now Alex could...
01:12:17She could...
01:12:18Hey, stop.
01:12:19Don't talk like that.
01:12:40Hey, Lincoln.
01:12:44Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:46Jesus Christ.
01:12:48I was so worried.
01:12:49I thought...
01:12:50I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:57I'm fine.
01:13:00You should leave.
01:13:01What?
01:13:02What are you talking about?
01:13:04I...
01:13:05Lincoln, why are you here?
01:13:06I'm here because I care about you.
01:13:08Because...
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.
01:13:17It's not like that.
01:13:18I don't want to be your charity case, Lincoln.
01:13:22I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:25You are not a burden.
01:13:28I don't think that.
01:13:31I'd like you to go.
01:13:32Come on.
01:14:02Good morning, 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.
01:14:32This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:53It was Dad.
01:14:54You 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.
01:15:02Dad 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.
01:15:52Jesus.
01:15:55Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:16:00Fuck.
01:16:01I'm sorry, I 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, you're recovering from surgery.
01:16:20Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:47Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:51She misses you.
01:16:53Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad, Jace,
01:16:58and 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.
01:17:20What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you,
01:17:28do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:31They 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,
01:17:39they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:42That's not sacrifice.
01:17:44That's love.
01:17:45I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:48About 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,
01:18:02is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:12It is simply because you love them.
01:18:15Miss Livingston,
01:18:19you are the most selfless,
01:18:24independent,
01:18:25strong,
01:18:27and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:32I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:34And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:43Prove it?
01:18:43How?
01:18:53Is that...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:19:00Are those tattoos?
01:19:02I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:04I love you, Alex.
01:19:09I 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?
01:19:56I 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.
01:20:22Happy birthday to you.
01:20:26Who is it?
01:20:30What did you wish for?
01:20:36A new mommy.
01:20:40One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:41I 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.
01:21:11Come with us, don't hold back, tonight I'm going in, the sky's going black, so come with us, don't hold back.
