00:08:15oh

00:08:19and stay out of my personal life
00:08:22that'll be all for now i'll give you access to my work calendar later

00:08:44this bark's worse than his bite trust me
00:08:48i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are
00:08:53alex lincoln's new assistant and uh it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name
00:08:59calling i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:05alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea
00:09:08you're gonna need that
00:09:11coming
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
00:09:26operation times and shifting our operations to detroit might create bottlenecks we we just can't
00:09:32afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate i need solutions faster
00:09:39not 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
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
00:10:21down entirely actually that could work worth a shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a
00:10:29look at it and sort out the details is there anything else i should know about my business
00:10:35not yet
00:10:41uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all

00:11:04right 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
00:11:23the board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive
00:11:28and weak

00:21:15So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight and he lied to me.
00:21:43Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:51I thought only HR saw that.
00:21:55Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar.
00:21:58I think that's a very sweet name.
00:22:00I'm not embarrassed.
00:22:01It's just private.
00:22:06My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:11I see.
00:22:11I see.
00:22:13I apologize.
00:22:15I didn't know.
00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:20Hey.
00:22:23Alex.
00:22:26I mean it.
00:22:28I'm sorry.
00:22:28I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:37I'll be right back.
00:22:45Look at you.
00:22:46You look stunning.
00:22:49Let's see the dress.
00:22:53Let's get to turn you and me straight.
00:22:55Picked it out just for you.
00:22:56It's perfect.
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:23:01We always want to put a camera to touch.
00:23:06It's just the way of them to let me go.
00:23:10Why do we feel like we're not good enough?
00:23:13Why don't we lose all of this camera to touch?
00:23:17For you.
00:23:18Hey, bro.
00:23:20Is that for me?
00:23:21Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:23And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:27Dane?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29My guest.
00:23:30You know what I mean.
00:23:31Yeah, sure.
00:23:31I know what you mean.
00:23:32I'll take that.
00:23:33I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:34It's just a dance.
00:23:48Do not be weird about this.
00:23:50Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:51Everyone else is dancing.
00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:55And besides,
00:23:57it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:23:59Right.
00:24:15So,
00:24:15something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:20Chase?
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,
00:24:27I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:29Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:32I'm just
00:24:33looking out for my assistant.
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's,
00:24:40you know.
00:24:42He's what?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind.
00:24:50So,
00:24:51you guys aren't that close then?
00:24:53Well, excuse me if I don't have time
00:24:54to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:24:57If you hadn't noticed,
00:24:58I'm somewhat busy running 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,
00:25:11Miss Livingston.
00:25:12It's unprofessional.
00:25:13It's unprofessional.
00:25:16What?
00:25:17This?
00:25:19This 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.
00:25:30Mm.
00:25:31We're rarely touching.
00:25:32Lakin.
00:25:37Lakin.
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
00:25:58that he was very impressed
00:25:59with your recent progress.
00:26:01Wonderful to see
00:26:02that you're finally settling in, Lakin.
00:26:08Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:11Oh, yes.
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:14Nice 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,
00:26:32making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34Lakin.
00:26:35What are you doing here?
00:26:37Just 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.
00:26:44I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:51Who's this?
00:26:52Uh, no one.
00:26:54Just, uh, my assistant.
00:26:57Alex.
00:26:58Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:01As I was saying,
00:27:03the transit time's in New York.
00:27:04Oh, come on, Lakin.
00:27:06Don't be a poor.
00:27:07It's a party.
00:27:09No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:10Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:13Maybe later.
00:27:14These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:28What are you doing?
00:27:30Are you drunk?
00:27:30The whole office is here.
00:27:32We never have any time together.
00:27:33And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:27:35We're not together anymore.
00:27:36You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.
00:27:40Oh, come on, Lakin.
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.
00:27:57One dance.
00:28:17Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:18Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Max Lakin.
00:28:34So tense.
00:28:37I could fix that, you know.
00:28:38What 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?
00:28:47Have 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.
00:29:12If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:20Stop.
00:29:20Jesus.
00:29:23Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:27Lakin, 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.
00:29:45Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:29:53Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:21This 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.
00:30:38So, 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.
00:30:49Something funny?
00:30:54Time to go.
00:30:54It's okay.
00:31:07Arturo.
00:31:09Take 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.
00:31:20You 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.
00:31:42What 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.
00:31:50Liar.
00:32:05Fuckin' abundance.
00:32:13Didn'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 fuckin' money.
00:32:31Now get the hell over here.
00:32:39Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:32:47What?
00:32:47Fuck me.
00:32:48Fuck me.
00:32:48Leave us all some left away.
00:32:51To know that we're both better.
00:32:53I wanna be with it.
00:32:55I wanna be with you.
00:32:57We can't let this slip away.
00:32:59You know I won't give us things.
00:33:01Because I wanna be with you.
00:33:03I wanna be with you.
00:33:05I don't want to run away.
00:33:06We can't let this go too late.
00:33:08I don't want me.
00:33:09Nobody else
00:33:11Don't let this go too late
00:33:39You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no
00:33:50Right, no, of course not
00:33:56Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday
00:34:09Morning
00:34:20Morning
00:34:22I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me
00:34:36It's not your fault, Lincoln 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
00:34:45Lincoln's got some serious trust issues
00:34:48Like, he needs therapy about it
00:34:51Camila 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?
00:35:08Yeah
00:35:09Jesus
00:35:10Maybe it's just best to pretend like this never happened
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot
00:35:17Look, I gotta run to a meeting
00:35:24How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details
00:35:29Yeah, I'm down
00:35:31Great
00:35:33Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner
00:35:54Dad insisted
00:35:56Something about never getting to see Malia these days
00:35:59I wanted to have the gala postmortem 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?
00:36:22Ah, 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
00:36:31Cause this little woman is an imposter
00:36:33Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:49Alex?
00:36:56Waken?
00:36:58Maybe
00:36:58Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex
00:37:23Me neither
00:37:25It's okay
00:37:36I don't like asparagus either
00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it
00:37:41Because it's healthy for me
00:37:43He's right
00:37:44It is
00:37:46Look on the bright side
00:37:47At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:50Hmm
00:37:50Hmm
00:37:54Thank you
00:37:58That was delicious
00:37:59Alright
00:38:01Miss Livingston
00:38:05A word
00:38:07Uh, Mr. Blainford
00:38:16About the other night
00:38:17I know the gala was a mess with Camilla
00:38:20Alex
00:38:21I've seen a change in my son
00:38:24Really?
00:38:25It's the first time I've seen him smile in years
00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing
00:38:29You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lakin some time alone
00:38:36Thank you, Jace
00:38:38You're very welcome
00:38:39Jace, don't
00:38:39Bye
00:38:40Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:47But I wanna hang out with Alex
00:38:49Please, Daddy
00:38:50Please
00:38:51Works for me
00:38:57I'll be right back
00:39:10Hey
00:39:11Come on
00:39:14I can chill out
00:39:15Come on
00:39:17Come on
00:39:42She likes you, you know?
00:39:56She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:59I like her, too.
00:40:07So, are we going to figure out what happened?
00:40:10Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:16Your job is not in danger.
00:40:20Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:25What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:31Not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:35But I also can't accept the fact that
00:40:38Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:41I 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 sleepwalking through
00:41:14All of my problems and no
00:41:16I can't make it through
00:41:20Every night is the same
00:41:22I keep running fast
00:41:24Left and right
00:41:26Wondering where my head's gone now
00:41:28I'm sleepwalking through
00:41:32All of my problems and no
00:41:34Let's go, Malia, come on.
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster!
00:41:46Hey, uh...
00:41:48Lincoln's not here right now.
00:41:50He just landed in New York.
00:41:51New York.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:53But it turns out
00:41:54I 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.
00:42:05I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:09Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey.
00:42:24It's okay, Malia.
00:42:31Alex, 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.
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.
00:43:04I love you, too.
00:43:10I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:13So much for that family time she 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, is that too much 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!
00:44:14I mean, shoot!
00:44:34Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:41I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:05How would we order some pizza?
00:45:29Malia?
00:45:30Do 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.
00:45:57Really?
00:45:57Really?
00:45:57I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:22Who is it?
00:46:24It's me.
00:46:24It's me.
00:46:24It's me.
00:46:25It's me.
00:46:25It's me.
00:46:27You're right.
00:46:31Lincoln.
00:46:34Hi.
00:46:36Hi.
00:46:37Hi.
00:46:38Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:40Daddy.
00:47:08Daddy.
00:47:09Shh. It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here. Go back to sleep.
00:47:15No, stay.
00:47:18I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:21No, you stay too.
00:47:26It's all right with me.
00:47:39Where do you think you're going?
00:48:04To find Malia.
00:48:06I've already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:11We're all alone.
00:48:15What about work?
00:48:19Time off for good behavior.
00:48:31Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:36It wasn't a problem.
00:48:42Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:49Let me make it up to you.
00:48:54How are you going to do that?
00:48:56Let me show you.
00:49:04You're like the neighbors.
00:49:28You know, I think more people should try coworkers with benefits.
00:49:54So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:07Not really.
00:50:08Sorry, I, um, I was just curious.
00:50:18Congenital heart defect.
00:50:19You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:20It's too much.
00:50:21Too much?
00:50:22This condition.
00:50:23This condition, these bills, this scar.
00:50:27My parents were incredible.
00:50:30They gave up everything for me.
00:50:32They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:39And now they're gone.
00:50:39Car 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.
00:50:50Sorry, way too much information.
00:50:54Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:55You don't need to know my sob story.
00:50:56You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:51:03I know.
00:51:04She told me.
00:51:06Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:07Look, I've never told anybody this, but Malia was born with her defect because Camilla, she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out on modeling gigs.
00:51:25I 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.
00:51:42Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:47I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:50The only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.
00:51:55Not for me, and certainly not for her daughter.
00:51:59You know, she's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt, abandoning her daughter like that, it's...
00:52:06Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:10I want to, but it's too risky.
00:52:12I mean, the courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:15I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:17They don't always.
00:52:21Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:25What did she say to you?
00:52:26Camilla 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.
00:52:36I don't know.
00:52:37I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:40I mean, making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:43I can't do that.
00:52:45I know you want what's best for Malia, 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.
00:52:57You have it.
00:52:59Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.
00:53:02You're right.
00:53:04Malia deserves better.
00:53:06I will talk to her this week.
00:53:21Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:26Greedy?
00:53:28I meant breakfast.
00:53:29You can cook?
00:53:33Yes, I can.
00:53:35For the right company.
00:53:45Ta-da!
00:53:54I should have known someone near Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:53:59Shit, fuck, I'm sorry.
00:54:01I 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,
00:54:16and I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:24Great.
00:54:25Not exactly.
00:54:26Okay.
00:54:27He told you all of that?
00:54:33What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:35A saint?
00:54:37Hardly.
00:54:39Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:46Cross my inner hope to die.
00:54:47Your dad is paying me to do this, to help Lakin.
00:54:56That's what a job is.
00:54:57You work for the company.
00:54:58You know that, right?
00:54:59You don't understand.
00:55:01Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant.
00:55:07He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:55:09By any means necessary, he said.
00:55:13Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits.
00:55:18Coworkers with benefits?
00:55:19Excuse me?
00:55:20It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:25Why?
00:55:25Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:28Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:30It won't feel like that if he finds out.
00:55:32I'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:33Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:37Chase, I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:39I think...
00:55:41I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:47So more than co-workers with benefits.
00:55:58Thanks for meeting me.
00:56:00I wanted to talk to you about...
00:56:02Your new girlfriend?
00:56:04What?
00:56:05I know all about your little sleepover.
00:56:07You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life.
00:56:13Especially that one.
00:56:15What do you mean by that one?
00:56:17Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in L.A.
00:56:21It was a work trip.
00:56:22Oh, really?
00:56:32She's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been.
00:56:36Which is actually why I'm here.
00:56:37Enough is enough.
00:56:41I want sole custody.
00:56:43So this is it?
00:56:46You want to break up our family for that lying little...
00:56:49You don't want a family.
00:56:50You just want my money.
00:56:52I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:53You think I want money?
00:56:56How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:57What do you mean?
00:56:58I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:08That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:10I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:21What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:22The only reason why she's working for you is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.
00:57:33No, she wouldn't do that.
00:57:34That's not who she is.
00:57:35If you don't believe me, just ask your dad.
00:57:39Is it true?
00:57:50Lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:52Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:54It was for your own good.
00:57:59Do not give me that father-knows-best routine.
00:58:02This is a complete betrayal of my trust.
00:58:04Your personal issues were affecting not only the business, but our family.
00:58:08That is absurd.
00:58:09This has nothing to do with the company.
00:58:11Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader.
00:58:17As in does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:21So what, I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?
00:58:23That is bullshit.
00:58:25My love life is none of your business.
00:58:28But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:58:32Alex is a smart girl with a good heart.
00:58:35She cares about Malia.
00:58:37And she challenges you.
00:58:40She's fired.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:53What are you doing here?
00:59:10We need to talk.
00:59:11We are?
00:59:14You want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:19Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:21Because you still love her?
00:59:23God, I'm so fucking stupid.
00:59:24Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:29God, Alex, I trusted you.
00:59:33I told you things that I've never even told my family.
00:59:37And this whole time, you were just in it for the money.
00:59:41I...
00:59:41That was before anything happened between us.
00:59:45Lakin, I couldn't say no.
00:59:47That kind of money...
00:59:49You know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you.
00:59:52And fucking me, what?
00:59:52That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:55That's all I am to you?
00:59:57Just a transaction?
00:59:58Of course not.
00:59:59I...
00:59:59How dare you?
01:00:03Why should I believe you?
01:00:06You know, you're just like her.
01:00:08I am not like Camilla.
01:00:11Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:13You're fired.
01:00:14And this thing between us, that's over too.
01:00:32Let's go.
01:00:47Let's go.
01:00:47Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:13I'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.
01:01:33I've heard that before.
01:01:35God, it turns me on when you act like...
01:01:37Alright, 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,
01:01:44so 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.
01:01:51You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:55I can't waste any more time on Lakin.
01:01:57I was so stupid thinking you actually cared about me.
01:02:02What's wrong with me?
01:02:16Nothing.
01:02:19Absolutely nothing.
01:02:20I'm sorry.
01:02:29I just...
01:02:29I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:39Hey.
01:02:42Text me, okay?
01:02:43Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:48We will.
01:02:50I promise.
01:02:55Wait.
01:02:55We will...
01:02:56Wait.
01:03:03Uh...
01:03:03My God.
01:03:07My God.
01:03:13I'm sorry.
01:03:14No.
01:03:17No.
01:03:17No.
01:03:18No, no.
01:03:18No.
01:03:18Let's go.
01:03:49Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:52They used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:05Really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12So I can cabinet to the left.
01:04:18I heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:25Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:28We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:32I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:33I don't.
01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:43What do you care?
01:04:45She's all yours now.
01:04:46Her little deal with dad is mute, and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lincoln, I'm gay.
01:04:51Hey.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:58You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about
01:05:01his own life.
01:05:02I'm sorry.
01:05:10Really.
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, Lincoln.
01:05:49She cares about you.
01:05:51A lot.
01:05:54She hated the deal.
01:05:55She hated lying to you.
01:05:58She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:02And why should I?
01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:10Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:32Call her.
01:06:55Call her.
01:06:56Call her.
01:06:59Call her.
01:07:00Call her.
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. You 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? She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:15I can't. I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:18Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:20Good 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.
01:08:41All right?
01:08:41Well, if you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:53Congrats, bro. Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on. We should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong. The witch agreed to settle.
01:09:12Yeah.
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.
01:09:22Well, you're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:25What else could you want?
01:09:28Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody.
01:09:32She blocked my number.
01:09:34And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees,
01:09:37begging for her to take me back.
01:09:39It would make me look insane.
01:09:41Well, insane or romantic?
01:09:46She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:49And I don't blame her.
01:09:50Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back,
01:09:52but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:58She's working here again?
01:10:01Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:04Hi.
01:10:19Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:32What are you doing here?
01:10:37Jace brought me to celebrate.
01:10:41I won full custody.
01:10:44Congratulations.
01:10:45Yeah, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:50Alex, I want to apologize.
01:10:54I made a huge mistake.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:57I have seen you take my break right now.
01:11:02Someone 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,
01:11:51they're going to operate tomorrow,
01:11:53and then her chances are 50-50.
01:11:57Jesus.
01:11:58Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:03The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:07And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either.
01:12:10I should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lakin.
01:12:13And now Alex could...
01:12:16She could...
01:12:17Hey, stop.
01:12:18Don't talk like that.
01:12:40Hey, Lakin.
01:12:43Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:46Jesus Christ.
01:12:47I was so worried.
01:12:49I thought...
01:12:49I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:57I'm fine.
01:12:59You should leave.
01:13:00What?
01:13:02What are you talking about?
01:13:04Lakin, why are you here?
01:13:06I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:08Because you feel guilty.
01:13:11This is what you do.
01:13:12You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:15No.
01:13:16It's not like that.
01:13:17I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.
01:13:21I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:24You are not a burden.
01:13:28I don't think that.
01:13:30I'd like you to go.
01:13:32Move.
01:13:32Move.
01:13:33Move.
01:13:34Move.
01:13:54Move.
01:13:54Move.
01:13:54Morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:21It's good to see you awake.
01:14:22You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:29I got you something.
01:14:45This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:53It was Dad.
01:14:55He felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Mulya while they can watch us over here.
01:15:01Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:04Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:08He shouldn't have.
01:15:09You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:11Dad was good for it.
01:15:13It's done.
01:15:13I don't deserve it.
01:15:17What are you talking about?
01:15:20Look at me, Jace.
01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:15:22Why should I...
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:26You deserve love.
01:15:27It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:32Jesus.
01:15:56Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:59Fuck.
01:16:00I'm sorry.
01:16:01I just...
01:16:02I thought you might need some help.
01:16:04Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:07Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:09Sorry.
01:16:15Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:17Alex.
01:16:18You're recovering from surgery.
01:16:20Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:22Okay.
01:16:39Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:50She misses you.
01:16:52Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad, Jace,
01:16:57and me.
01:17:03It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:07I can see that now.
01:17:08I've just...
01:17:09I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:12And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:15It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:23What you told me about your parents
01:17:24and how they sacrificed everything for you,
01:17:28do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:32They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:35Hey, but Alex, don't you think that
01:17:36if they were given the chance to do it all over again,
01:17:38they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:41That's not sacrifice.
01:17:44That's love.
01:17:46I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:48about 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.
01:17:58But what you've taught me,
01:18:00what your parents have taught me,
01:18:03is that
01:18:04supporting someone is not about an obligation
01:18:08or to force an outcome.
01:18:10It is simply because
01:18:13you love them.
01:18:17Miss Livingston,
01:18:18you are the most
01:18:21selfless,
01:18:23independent,
01:18:25strong,
01:18:26and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:29I can't stop.
01:18:31I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:36And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it?
01:18:43How?
01:18:43Is that?
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:01I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:06I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:13Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:21Please.
01:19:25I love you, too.
01:19:43What 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.
01:20:09Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:21Happy birthday to you.
01:20:28What did you wish for?
01:20:34A new mommy.
01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:44I got you something.
01:20:47It might not be the biggest present you get,
01:20:49but I think you'll like it.
01:20:52I have one, too.
01:20:55Just like you.
01:20:56It's good.
01:21:06The night is going right.
01:21:07The sky is going like,
01:21:08so.
01:21:10Come with us.
01:21:12Don't hold back.
01:21:15The night will be nice.
01:21:17The sky is going like,
01:21:20so.
01:21:20Come with us.
01:21:22I don't hold back, and I don't think I'm going back
