00:08:59name calling i've said worse your secret safe with me alex get in here we need to roll some calls
00:09:07to south korea you're gonna need that coming
00:09:16we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure
00:09:19it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times and
00:09:27shifting our operations to detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford right now
00:09:33so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:37i need solutions faster not more excuses people
00:09:41we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:48um sorry to interrupt
00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland
00:09:56and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow
00:10:02so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:05uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but
00:10:12cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure
00:10:17it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down
00:10:21entirely actually that could work worth the shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at
00:10:29it and sort out the details is there anything else i should know about my business not yet
00:10:36uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all

00:11:12good at her job like a good leader isn't threatened by his employees threatened i am not threatened by her
00:11:20but she makes it look like i've lost control well the board already thinks you've lost control

00:23:41i
00:23:42i
00:23:43i
00:23:45i
00:23:46It's just a dance. Do not be weird about this.
00:23:49Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:51Everyone else is dancing. It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:55And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:01Right.
00:24:02So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:19Jase? Of course not. That was nothing.
00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:26If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:29Don't be ridiculous. I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:36Well, I doubt he's interested. He's, you know...
00:24:41He's what?
00:24:44You don't know?
00:24:48Never mind. So, you guys aren't that close then?
00:24:52Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:24:56If 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.
00:25:07Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:12It's unprofessional.
00:25:13What? This?
00:25:18This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:21Right. A totally normal boss-slash-assistant slow dance.
00:25:27It's completely innocent.
00:25:29Hmm.
00:25:30We're rarely touching.
00:25:31We'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.
00:25:47Miss Livingston?
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:51Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:01Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:07Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:11Oh, yes. Detroit and Cleveland. Nice work.
00:26:14Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:18I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:30Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34Hi, Lincoln.
00:26:35What are you doing here?
00:26:36I just thought I'd stop by.
00:26:38I thought you could use the moral support.
00:26:40Where's Malia?
00:26:41I got a babysitter.
00:26:44I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:50Who's this?
00:26:52Uh, no one.
00:26:53Just, uh, my assistant.
00:26:56Alex.
00:26:58Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:01As I was saying, the transit time's in New York.
00:27:04Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:06Don't be a bore. It's a party.
00:27:08No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:10Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:13Maybe later?
00:27:14These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:16You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:27What are you doing?
00:27:29Are you drunk? The whole office is here.
00:27:31We never have any time together.
00:27:33And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:27:34We're not together anymore.
00:27:36You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.
00:27:39Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:41I'm sorry if I embarrass you.
00:27:44I just...
00:27:46I miss you.
00:27:48And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.
00:27:51I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:27:53For all time's sake.
00:27:55One dance.
00:27:59Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:00Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:01I know you miss this.
00:28:02This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:03This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:04Lax Lakin.
00:28:05This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:06Lax Lakin.
00:28:07So tense.
00:28:08Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Max Lincoln, so tense.
00:28:36We could fix that, you know.
00:28:39What do you want, hmm?
00:28:41And don't give me some bullshit about missing me.
00:28:44I know you.
00:28:45You want money, don't you?
00:28:48Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:52Malia's getting older.
00:28:54It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.
00:28:59We should be a family.
00:29:01We tried and failed miserably.
00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:07Are you sure about that?
00:29:07Camilla, 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.
00:29:28Lincoln, 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.
00:29:36Let me make something very clear to you.
00:29:41We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:29:43You hear me?
00:29:44Ever.
00:29:45Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
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.
00:31:07Arturo.
00:31:09Took Miss Livingston home.
00:31:10You're being incredibly rude.
00:31:12You 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?
00:31:35Charming 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 went attracted to me.
00:31:45I'm not.
00:31:48Oh, yeah?
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:51Liar.
00:31:52I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:15Yeah, well, there's a lot.
00:32:17You 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 about you.
00:33:01I want to be with you.
00:33:03I want to be with you.
00:33:05I'll run away.
00:33:07I can't let this go too waste.
00:33:08I don't want to go to your house
00:33:11Don't let this go too late
00:33:15Don't let this go too late
00:33:16Don't let this go too late
00:33:18Don't let this go
00:33:38You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no
00:33:50Right, no
00:33:54Of course not
00:33:56Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday
00:34:08Morning
00:34:20Morning
00:34:22I can't believe I risked my job
00:34:33For a guy who doesn't give two shits about me
00:34:35It's not your fault
00:34:37Lakin 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
00:34:45Lakin'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
00:35:05And when he finally did, oh, surprise, surprise
00:35:07Guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus
00:35:10Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot
00:35:17Look, I gotta run to a meeting
00:35:24How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details
00:35:29Yeah, I'm down
00:35:32Great
00:35:33Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner
00:35:54Dad insisted
00:35:56Something about never getting to see Malia these days
00:35:59I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office
00:36:03You know, like, normal business partners and not
00:36:06Family members
00:36:06Exactly
00:36:08Did you, uh, give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me
00:36:21You?
00:36:21You?
00:36:21You?
00:36:22Ah, you're too tall
00:36:23No, my Malia, last time I saw her
00:36:25She was just about my knee high
00:36:27Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter
00:36:33Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:49Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it!
00:36:58Ah

00:47:09It's okay, sweetie.
00:47:11I'm right here.
00:47:13Go back to sleep.
00:47:15Oh, stay.
00:47:19I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:21No, you stay too.
00:47:26It's all right with me.
00:47:34Where do you think you're going?
00:48:03To find Malia?
00:48:06I've already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:11We're all alone.
00:48:14What about work?
00:48:18Time off for good behavior.
00:48:22Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:34It wasn't a problem.
00:48:39Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:49Let me make it up to you.
00:48:54How are you gonna do that?
00:48:59I don't know if I can take it.
00:49:01Must be a monster in my head.
00:49:03Let me show you.
00:49:05Lately, it feels like I've been faking.
00:49:07Think there's a stranger here instead.
00:49:10There you have it.
00:49:12And at night, I lie awake.
00:49:16I'm gonna escape this.
00:49:19Hold tight.
00:49:21The air is changing.
00:49:24Let's run away.
00:49:27You know, I think more people should try coworkers with benefits.
00:49:55So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:02Not really.
00:50:08Sorry.
00:50:12I was just curious.
00:50:17Congenital heart defect.
00:50:19You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:20It's too much.
00:50:21Too much?
00:50:23This condition.
00:50:24These bills.
00:50:25This scar.
00:50:27My parents were incredible.
00:50:29They gave up everything for me.
00:50:32They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:38And now they're gone.
00:50:41Car accident.
00:50:42When I was a senior in high school.
00:50:45I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:49Alex.
00:50:50Sorry.
00:50:51Way too much information.
00:50:53Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:55You don't need to know my sob story.
00:50:57You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:51:03I know.
00:51:04She told me.
00:51:05Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:07Look, I've never told anybody this, but...
00:51:12Malia was born with her defect because Camilla...
00:51:17She took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out on modeling gigs.
00:51:25I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:28Oh my god.
00:51:30It's terrible.
00:51:32Truth is, she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:36I did.
00:51:38I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:41Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:45I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:49The only reason she wants to get back together...
00:51:53Is for the money.
00:51:55Not for me.
00:51:56Certainly not for her daughter.
00:51:58You know, she's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt...
00:52:03Abandoning her daughter like that, it's...
00:52:06Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:09I want to, but...
00:52:11It's too risky.
00:52:12The courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:14I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:17They don't always...
00:52:21Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:25What did she say to you?
00:52:27Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips.
00:52:30It's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met.
00:52:34I think you could have a case here.
00:52:36I don't know.
00:52:37I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:39I mean...
00:52:40Making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:43I...
00:52:44I can't do that.
00:52:45I know you want what's best for Malia.
00:52:47And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:50Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:54And if that's money, fine.
00:52:57You have it.
00:52:58Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.
00:53:02You're right.
00:53:03Malia deserves better.
00:53:05I will talk to her this week.
00:53:21Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:26Greedy?
00:53:28I meant breakfast.
00:53:31You can cook?
00:53:33Yes, I can.
00:53:35For the right company.
00:53:37I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:53:58Shit.
00:54:00Fuck.
00:54:01I'm sorry.
00:54:02I didn't mean to.
00:54:03It's okay.
00:54:04Really, it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:54:11Thank you again for everything.
00:54:13I know this wasn't part of the job description.
00:54:15And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:21Right.
00:54:22Not exactly.
00:54:23He told you all of that?
00:54:24What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:25A saint?
00:54:26Hardly.
00:54:27Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:30Cross my inner hope to die.
00:54:31Your dad is paying me to do this, to help Lincoln.
00:54:35That's what a job is.
00:54:36That's what a job is.
00:54:37You work for the company.
00:54:38You know that, right?
00:54:39You don't understand.
00:54:40Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life.
00:54:42That's what a job is.
00:54:43You work for the company.
00:54:44You know that, right?
00:54:45You don't understand.
00:54:46You don't understand.
00:54:47Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck
00:54:53it out as Lincoln's assistant.
00:54:55He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:54:56By any means necessary, he said.
00:54:59Now that Lincoln and I are-
00:55:01Fuckin' like rabbits.
00:55:02Coworkers with benefits?
00:55:03Excuse me?
00:55:04It just seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:05Why?
00:55:06Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:07Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:08It won't feel like that is gonna happen.
00:55:09It won't be like that.
00:55:10I had to tell him a half of my parents, I will tell him.
00:55:11That's my dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life
00:55:18if I stuck it out as Lincoln's assistant.
00:55:20He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:55:23By any means necessary, he said.
00:55:25Now that Lincoln and I are-
00:55:26Fucking like rabbits?
00:55:27Coworkers with benefits?
00:55:28Excuse me?
00:55:29It just- it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:30Why?
00:55:31But if he finds out, he'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:34Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:37Chase, I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:39I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:48So more than co-workers with benefits.
00:55:59Thanks for meeting me.
00:56:01I wanted to talk to you about...
00:56:02Your new girlfriend.
00:56:04What?
00:56:06I know all about your little sleepover.
00:56:09You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life.
00:56:14Especially that one.
00:56:15What do you mean by that one?
00:56:18Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in LA.
00:56:21It was a work trip.
00:56:22Oh, really?
00:56:25She's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been.
00:56:36Which is actually why I'm here.
00:56:39Enough is enough.
00:56:40I want sole custody.
00:56:44So this is it?
00:56:46You want to break up our family for that lying little...
00:56:49You don't want a family.
00:56:50You just want my money.
00:56:52I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:53You think I want money?
00:56:56How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:58What do you mean?
00:57:03I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:07That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:15I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:21What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:24The 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.
00:57:36If you don't believe me...
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.
00:58:09This has nothing to do with the company.
00:58:11Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader.
00:58:16As it does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:21So what?
00:58:22I 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.
00:58:33Alex is a smart girl with a good heart.
00:58:35She cares about Malia.
00:58:37And she challenges you.
00:58:39She is fired.
00:58:41Thanks to you.
00:58:43What are you doing here?
00:59:08We need to talk.
00:59:11Oh yeah?
00:59:13You want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:17Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:20Because you still love her?
00:59:22God, it was so fucking stupid.
00:59:24Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:29God, Alex, I...
00:59:32I trusted you.
00:59:33I...
00:59:33I told you things that I've never even told my family.
00:59:37And this whole time...
00:59:39You were just in it for the money.
00:59:41I...
00:59:42That was before anything happened between us.
00:59:45Lakin, I couldn't say no.
00:59:48That kind of money...
00:59:49You know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you.
00:59:52And fucking me what?
00:59:53That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:56That's all I am to you.
00:59:57Just...
00:59:58A transaction?
00:59:59Of course not.
01:00:02How dare you?
01:00:03Why should I believe you?
01:00:06You know, you're just like her.
01:00:09I am not like Camilla.
01:00:11Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:13You're fired.
01:00:14And this thing between us?
01:00:16That's over too.
01:00:23How dare you.
01:00:47Let's go.
01:00:48Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:14I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:15You're going to let me in or what?
01:01:24You are out of your mind.
01:01:27Showing 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 you're doing it.
01:01:37All right, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:40Have you left your house yet?
01:01:42Well, I'm going to try and get my old job back, so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.
01:01:52You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:56I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:01:59I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:02What's wrong with me?
01:02:17Nothing.
01:02:19Absolutely nothing.
01:02:26I'm sorry.
01:02:27I think I'm going to be alone tonight.
01:02:40Hey.
01:02:42Text me, okay?
01:02:44Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:48I will.
01:02:51I promise.
01:02:51Text me.
01:02:52Text me.
01:03:19Text me.
01:03:19Text.
01:03:20Let's go.
01:03:50Um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:53I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:05You really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:20I heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:26Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:28We were just fucking, and now we're not.
01:04:32I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:36I don't.
01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:44What do you care?
01:04:45She's all yours now.
01:04:47Her little deal with dad is mute,
01:04:48and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:59You're always so wrapped up in your own shit,
01:05:00you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:02I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:13I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:18Are you good?
01:05:23I'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.
01:05:47She'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.
01:06:02And 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.
01:06:32I'm sorry.
01:06:45He's not too late.
01:06:46But they're so proud of her.
01:06:47I'm sorry.
01:06:48I'm sorry.
01:06:48I'm sorry.
01:06:48I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:50I can't believe her or not.
01:06:51So I'm not good.
01:06:52I'm sorry.
01:06:52I can't believe I didn't trust her or not.
01:06:54I'm sorry.
01:06:55I can't believe I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:56Who is a guest of Beteosa well-made?
01:06:58But what's the name of Beteosa?
01:07:00What's the name of Beteosa?
01:07:02What's the name of Beteosa?
01:07:04Abhiya Betea
01:07:07Where you going from?
01:07:09I'm a user of Beteosa,
01:07:11living in then.
01:07:13Subtitles are available for Beteosa.
01:07:15Subtitles are available and is available for your friends.
01:07:17The name of Beteosa is a doctor.
01:07:19Beteosa is a doctor.
01:07:21The name of Beteosa is a doctor.
01:07:23Fuck him.
01:07:33So, that's $250,000 a year?
01:07:37Every year?
01:07:38Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:41So, in nine more years then?
01:07:43Eight.
01:07:44You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:07:53Pleasure 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?
01:08:23Good fucking riddance.
01:08:33I'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?
01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me,
01:08:45I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:49I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:53Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:09:07Come on.
01:09:08We should be celebrating.
01:09:10Ding 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.
01:09:19On 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.
01:09:35And 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.
01:09:45She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:49And I don't blame her.
01:09:51Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back,
01:09:53but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:58She's working here again?
01:10:02Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:04Hi.
01:10:20Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:32What are you doing here?
01:10:36Uh, Jace brought me.
01:10:39To celebrate.
01:10:41I want full custody.
01:10:44Congratulations.
01:10:45Yeah, I, um...
01:10:47I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:50Uh...
01:10:50Alex, I, um...
01:10:52I want to apologize.
01:10:54I made a huge mistake.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:57I actually need to take my break right now.
01:10:59That's awesome.
01:11:02No.
01:11:11You okay?
01:11:12You're okay?
01:11:13No.
01:11:14No.
01:11:16Someone call 9-1-1!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:21Yeah.
01:11:22Yeah.
01:11:22Any update?
01:11:44There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but
01:11:46the doctor said that
01:11:49she's in critical condition, that they're gonna
01:11:52operate tomorrow, and then 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 help either.
01:12:10I should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lakin.
01:12:15And now Alex could... she could...
01:12:17Hey, stop. Don't talk like that.
01:12:21Oh my God, Alex, you're awake. Jesus Christ. I was so worried, I thought...
01:12:28I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:37I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:44Thank you. I'm fine.
01:12:46You should leave.
01:12:48What? What? What are you talking about? Lakin, why are you here?
01:12:57I'm here because I care about you. Because...
01:12:58Because you feel guilty.
01:12:59This is what you do. You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:04No. It's not like that. I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin. I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:11You are not a burden. I don't think that. I don't think that. I'd like you to go.
01:13:18You are not a burden. I don't a burden. I don't a burden. I don't a burden. I don't think that.
01:13:31I don't think that. I need you to go.
01:14:01Morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:21It's good to see you awake.
01:14:24You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:29I got you something.
01:14:31This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:53It was Dad.
01:14:55You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode,
01:14:58so he's been helping out with Mulya
01:14:59while Mulya can watch us over you here.
01:15:01Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:05Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:08He shouldn't have.
01:15:10You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:12Dad was good for it.
01:15:13It's done.
01:15:15I 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
01:15:31and realize that.
01:15:32Jesus.
01:15:39I'm sorry.
01:15:39I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:43Fuck.
01:15:44I'm sorry.
01:15:45I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:59Fuck.
01:16:00I'm sorry.
01:16:01I just...
01:16:02I thought you might need some help.
01:16:05Doctor 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.
01:16:22I'm sorry.
01:16:22I'm sorry.
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?
01:17:31They 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, they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:42That'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.
01:17:53I 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, 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.
01:18:42Prove it? How?
01:18:45Is that...
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.
01:19:26What are you doing next week?
01:19:55I want to take you to a party.
01:19:59Another gala?
01:20:01Something 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.
01:20:26What did you wish for?
01:20:34A new mommy.
01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:45I got you something.
01:20:46it might not be the biggest present you get but
