00:08:48i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are alex lakin's new assistant and uh it would be
00:08:57great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling
00:09:01i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:05alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea
00:09:09you're gonna need that
00:09:12coming
00:09:16we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure
00:09:20it'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 afford
00:09:32right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate i need solutions faster not more
00:09:39excuses 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 contracts
00:09:58to offset the overflow
00:10:00huh so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:04uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off
00:10:12but cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure
00:10:17it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you
00:10:21down entirely
00:10:23actually that could work worth a 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
00:10:41uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all

00:11:09with the board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job lincoln a good leader isn't
00:11:16threatened by his employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've
00:11:22lost control well the board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you

00:20:22Looks like we're almost there.
00:20:32Remember, this is a work event.
00:20:34The whole board is going to be there.
00:20:36It's easy on the drinks.

00:21:04I'm ready.
00:21:05Oh
00:21:35So Miss Livingston
00:21:39I 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?
00:21:52I thought only HR saw that
00:21:55Oh don't be embarrassed sugar
00:21:58I think that's a very sweet name. I'm not embarrassed. It's just private
00:22:06My parents are the only ones who called me that
00:22:11I see
00:22:14I apologize I didn't know I didn't mean to upset you
00:22:21Hey Alex
00:22:26I mean I'm sorry
00:22:28I think I owe you a drink. I'll be right back
00:22:38Look at you look stunning
00:22:49Let's see the dress
00:22:53Let's get turn even me straight picked it out just for you. It's perfect may have this dance me lady
00:22:58We always want to put a camera in touch
00:23:06It's just the way I've never let me down
00:23:10Why do we feel like we're not good enough
00:23:14Why don't we lose all of this camera touch
00:23:18For you
00:23:19Hey bro, is that for me?
00:23:21Get your own drink bro
00:23:23And maybe your own date while you're at it
00:23:24Dane?
00:23:27I knew it
00:23:28Uh, my guest
00:23:30You know what I mean
00:23:31Yeah, sure. I know what you mean
00:23:32I'll take that. I'll leave you guys to it
00:23:34It's just a dance. Do not be weird about this
00:23:49Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:52Everyone else is dancing. It would look strange if we didn't
00:23:55And besides
00:23:57It's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right
00:24:15So
00:24:16Something going on between you and my brother
00:24:19Chase?
00:24:21Of course not. That was nothing
00:24:24It didn't look like nothing
00:24:26If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous
00:24:30Don't be ridiculous
00:24:32I'm just looking out for my assistant
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested. He's, you know
00:24:43He's what?
00:24:45You don't know
00:24:46You 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 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
00:25:01It's important to make time for family, Lincoln
00:25:06That's none of your concern
00:25:08Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston
00:25:12It's unprofessional
00:25:13It's unprofessional
00:25:17What? This?
00:25:19This is just two co-workers dancing
00:25:23Right
00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance
00:25:28It's completely innocent
00:25:31We're rarely touching
00:25:38Lincoln
00:25:41Dad
00:25:43Well, some of our board members are already here
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds
00:25:48Miss Livingston
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:51Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress
00:26:02Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln
00:26:06Thank you
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
00:26:21I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother
00:26:51Who's this?
00:26:53Uh, no one
00:26:54Just, uh, my assistant
00:26:57Alex
00:26:59Nice to meet you, Alice
00:27:02As I was saying, the transit time's in New York
00:27:04I really...
00:27:05Oh, come on, Lincoln
00:27:07Don't be a bore, it'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?
00:27:21What are you doing?
00:27:30Are you drunk?
00:27:31The whole office is here
00:27:32We never have any time together
00:27:33And there's a reason for that, Camilla
00:27:36We'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...
00:27:47I 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
00:27:54For all time's sake
00:28:00One 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 Lincoln, so tense
00:28:37I could fix that, you know
00:28:40What 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
00:29:03And failed miserably
00:29:05I can't be with you, Camilla
00:29:07Are you sure about that?
00:29:10Camilla
00:29:11Don't
00:29:11Kiss me
00:29:13If you don't feel anything
00:29:15I'll leave you alone
00:29:20Stop, Jesus
00:29:24Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that
00:29:28Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me
00:29:31You 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?
00:29:45Never
00:29:46Now, you need to go
00:29:47But
00:29:48Right now
00:30:01Not having any fun?
00:30:20Let'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
00:30:40So it's the last call, right?
00:30:41I go up to the bar looking for this guy, Aggie'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
00:31:08I took Miss Livingston home
00:31:10You're being incredibly rude, you know that?
00:31:12You're getting wasted at a company party
00:31:16It'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
00:31:38CEO 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?
00:31:50Yeah
00:31:51Liar
00:32:03I didn't expect you to have tattoos
00:32:16Yeah, well there's a lot you don't know about me
00:32:27That cost eight thousand dollars
00:32:28Yeah, my fucking money
00:32:30I'll get the hell over here
00:32:39Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd
00:32:46Fuck me
00:33:00I love you
00:33:01I love you
00:33:05I love you
00:33:11Are you
00:33:13I love you
00:33:14It's got two eyes!
00:33:44You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no.
00:33:53Right. No.
00:33:56Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:14Morning. Morning.
00:34:22Morning.
00:34:31I 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? Me. Dad.
00:34:41But I've seen how he is with Malia, and...
00:34:44He's a soft spot.
00:34:46Lincoln's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:49Like, he needs therapy about it.
00:34:52Camilla really messed him up.
00:34:55Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:58That bitch is a gold digger.
00:35:00I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.
00:35:03Took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did,
00:35:06oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:09Jesus.
00:35:12Yeah.
00:35:13Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:22Look, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:25How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven? I'll text you the details.
00:35:30Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:32Great.
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 these days.
00:36:00I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.
00:36:03You know, like normal business partners and not...
00:36:05Family members.
00:36:07Exactly.
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, she was just about my knee high.
00:36:28Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm.
00:36:31Cause this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:36Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:55Alex?
00:36:57Lincoln?
00:36:58You made it!
00:37:00You didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:25Me neither.
00:37:30It's okay.
00:37:31I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:32My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:33He's right.
00:37:34It is.
00:37:35Look on the bright side.
00:37:36At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:37Hmm.
00:37:38Hmm.
00:37:40That was delicious.
00:37:41All right.
00:37:42Miss Livingston.
00:37:43Miss Livingston.
00:37:44A word.
00:37:45A word.
00:37:46A word.
00:37:48Uh, Mr. Blainford.
00:37:49Uh, Mr. Blainford.
00:37:50About the other night.
00:37:51Uh, Mr. Blainford.
00:37:52About the other night.
00:37:53I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:37:54I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:37:56Alex.
00:37:57I've seen a change in my son.
00:37:58Really?
00:37:59I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:00Really?
00:38:01It's the first time I've seen him smile in the years.
00:38:02Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:03You're feeling the need.
00:38:04It's the fear.
00:38:05But, for a long time, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:06Oh, right?
00:38:07I like the scared.
00:38:08I'm mad.
00:38:09Stop.
00:38:10Stop.
00:38:11Stop.
00:38:12Stop.
00:38:13Stop.
00:38:14I don't mind.
00:38:15Stop.
00:38:16Stop.
00:38:17Stop.
00:38:18Stop.
00:38:19Stop.
00:38:20Stop stop.
00:38:21Stop.
00:38:22Stop.
00:38:23Stop.
00:38:24Stop.
00:38:25Stop.
00:38:26Stop.
00:38:27Stop.
00:38:28Stop.
00:38:29Stop.
00:38:30You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:34I 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.
00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:48But I want to hang out with Alex.
00:38:50Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:56Works for me.
00:39:00I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:14Come on.
00:39:14Come on.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:17Come on.
00:39:20Come on.
00:39:27Come on.
00:39:27She likes you, you know?
00:39:54She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:58I like her, too.
00:40:08So are we gonna figure out what happened, or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:16Your job is not in danger.
00:40:19Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:23What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:29I can't get involved with my assistant, not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:36But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:43I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:45I want you, Alex.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:56What if we separate church and state?
00:41:01At work, we're professional, but outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:10I think the light is like...
00:41:11I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems.
00:41:16I know I can't make it through.
00:41:21Every night is the same.
00:41:23I keep running fast, left and right.
00:41:26Wondering where my head's gone now.
00:41:29I'm asleep, walking through all my problems.
00:41:35I have to hide out my problems.
00:41:37Let's go.
00:41:38Let's go, Leah.
00:41:40Come on.
00:41:41Mom!
00:41:43Faster.
00:41:44Hey, uh, Lakin's not here right now.
00:41:50He just landed in New York.
00:41:51New York.
00:41:52I know, but it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:58Going to LA. Business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:02Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be childcare.
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 she want to be with me?
00:42:23Hey, hey. It's okay, Malia.
00:42:38Alex, 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? Let me talk to her.
00:42:52Hi, honey. Are you okay?
00:42:54Hi.
00:42:55Listen, uh, Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:42:59I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:02Everything is fine.
00:43:04I love you.
00:43:05I love you, too.
00:43:05I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:13So much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:17Okay.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay. Bye.
00:43:24Okay, so we'll get you fed.
00:43:30I can help you with your homework.
00:43:31And by the time your dad gets back, it's too much rice.
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:46Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of.
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work trips.
00:43:58Work trips.
00:44:02Huh.
00:44:03Does your dad know about this?
00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:08She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit! I mean, shoot!
00:44:16Shoot!
00:44:20Shoot!
00:44:28Oh, my God! Malia!
00:44:37Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:42I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:44:58Good.

00:45:06Oh.
00:45:09Hmm.
00:45:28Malia?
00:45:30Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:40You can talk to me.

00:49:31you know i think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:53so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:05not really
00:50:11sorry i um i was just curious
00:50:15congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much
00:50:21too much
00:50:23this condition these bills this scar
00:50:27my parents were incredible
00:50:29they gave up everything for me
00:50:31they drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal
00:50:37and now they're gone
00:50:39car accident
00:50:41car accident
00:50:43when 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
00:50:51sorry way too much information
00:50:53especially from a fuck buddy you don't need to know my sob story
00:50:59you know that malia's heart condition is congenital
00:51:03i know
00:51:05yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:09look i've never told anybody this but
00:51:13malia was born with her defect because camilla
00:51:17she took diet pills during the pregnancy
00:51:21so she wouldn't gain weight
00:51:23or lose out modeling gigs
00:51:25i only found out before it was too late
00:51:27oh my god
00:51:29it's terrible
00:51:31truth is
00:51:33she never really wanted to have a baby
00:51:35i did
00:51:37i was the one who wanted us to be a happy family
00:51:39turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket
00:51:47i'm so sorry lincoln
00:51:49and the only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:53is for the money
00:51:55not for me and certainly not for her daughter
00:51:57she's
00:51:59she's always been irresponsible
00:52:01but this latest stunt
00:52:03abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:05it's
00:52:07have you thought about pursuing soul custody
00:52:09i want to
00:52:11i want to but
00:52:13it's too risky
00:52:15the courts usually side with the mother
00:52:17i i can't risk losing my daughter
00:52:19you
00:52:21malia told me this wasn't the first time
00:52:23camilla's done something like this
00:52:25what did she say to you
00:52:27camilla leaves her with her friends
00:52:29when she goes on work trips
00:52:31it's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs
00:52:33aren't being met
00:52:35i think you could have a case here
00:52:37i don't want to put her through that
00:52:39i mean
00:52:41making her testify against her own mother
00:52:43i 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
00:52:51maybe you should just give camilla what she really wants
00:52:55and if that's money fine
00:52:57you have it
00:52:59malia deserves people in her life who care about her
00:53:01you're right

00:55:01your dad offered to pay off my student loans
00:55:03and cover my medical bills for life
00:55:05if 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
00:55:11he said

00:55:15fucking like rabbits
00:55:17co-workers with benefits

00:55:23why
00:55:25because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it
00:55:27seems like a win-win to me
00:55:29it won't feel like that if he finds out
00:55:31he'll think i'm just using him
00:55:33well maybe he doesn't have to find out
00:55:35jace
00:55:37i can't keep lying to him
00:55:39i think
00:55:41i think i'm falling for him
00:55:43so more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:49thanks for meeting me
00:55:59i wanted to talk to you about
00:56:01your new girlfriend
00:56:03what?
00:56:05i know all about your little sleepover
00:56:07you know i'd appreciate it if you told me
00:56:09before bringing another woman into our daughter's life
00:56:11especially that one
00:56:13what do you mean by that one?
00:56:15alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in l.a.
00:56:19it was a work trip
00:56:21it was a work trip
00:56:23oh really?
00:56:25she's already proven to be way better at taking care of malia than you've ever been
00:56:35which is actually why i'm here
00:56:37enough is enough
00:56:39enough is enough
00:56:41i want sole custody
00:56:43so this is it?
00:56:45you want to break up our family for that lying little
00:56:49you don't want a family
00:56:51you just want my money
00:56:53i see right through you camilla
00:56:55how much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:57what do you mean?
00:57:03i hate to be the one to tell you this
00:57:05but
00:57:07that girl is using you lakin
00:57:15i overheard jason her laughing about it
00:57:17in the break room earlier today
00:57:21what do you mean she's using me?
00:57:23the only reason why she's working for you
00:57:25is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills
00:57:29if she kept you away from me
00:57:33no she wouldn't do that
00:57:34that's not who she is
00:57:36if you don't believe me
00:57:38just ask your dad
00:57:48is it true?
00:57:50lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:51did 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
00:58:01this is a complete betrayal of my trust
00:58:03your 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 it does the way you close yourself off from any connection romantic or
00:58:20so 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
00:58:27but 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

00:58:58we are?
00:58:59you want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:13is that why you haven't gotten custody of malia? because you still love her? god it was so fucking stupid
00:59:15were you ever gonna tell me about your little deal with my dad? god alex i trusted you i i told you things that i've never even told my family and this whole time you were just in it for the money
00:59:22i that was before anything happened between us

01:01:18You'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.
01:01:35God, it turns me on when you act like...
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,
01:01:45so 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.
01:02:00I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:02What's wrong with me?
01:02:16Nothing.
01:02:19Absolutely nothing.
01:02:20I'm sorry.
01:02:27I just...
01:02:29I think I want 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.
01:02:46I promise.
01:02:48I will.
01:02:50I promise.
01:03:07Okay.
01:03:08You're welcome.
01:03:39Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:53I used to work here.
01:03:55Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:05You really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:11Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:22Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:26Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:29We were just fucking, and now we're not.
01:04:30I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:37I don't.
01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:44What do you care?
01:04:45She's all yours now.
01:04:47Her little deal with dad is mute, and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:59You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about
01:05:02his own life.
01:05:03I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:15Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:24Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:42But you're always flirting with her, Alex.
01:05:44I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:48She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:50She cares about you.
01:05:52A lot.
01:05:52She hated the deal.
01:05:56She hated lying to you.
01:05:58She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:03And 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.
01:06:22It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:24It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:25It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:26It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:27It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:28It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:29It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:30It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:31It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:32It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:33It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:34It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:35It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:36It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:37It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:38It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:39It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:40It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:41I love you, too.
01:07:11Fuck him.
01:07:33So, that's $250,000 a year.
01:07:37Every year.
01:07:39Until 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?
01:08:06Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:11You 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.
01:08:36It 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?
01:08:43If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:54Congrats, bro.
01:08:54Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Let's celebrate.
01:09:07Come on.
01:09:08We should be celebrating.
01:09:10Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11And now Malia has to live the rest of her life, knowing that her mother didn't care enough
01:09:18about 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?
01:09:28Maybe a certain little assistant that help you get custody?
01:09:31She blocked my number.
01:09:35And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:40It 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, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:59She's working here again?
01:10:01Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:04Go get her.
01:10:19Hi.
01:10:20Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:31What 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.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:57I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:05Okay.
01:11:10You okay?
01:11:12I'm okay.
01:11:15Help!
01:11:16Someone call 911!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20I'm fine.
01:11:21You okay?
01:11:21I'm fine.
01:11:21No.
01:11:21Yeah.
01:11:22Yeah.
01:11:23Yeah.
01:11:23Yeah.
01:11:23Okay.
01:11:36Yeah.
01:11:37Yeah.
01:11:37Yeah.
01:11:38Yeah.
01:11:39Yeah.
01:11:39Yeah.
01:11:40There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but the doctor said that she's in critical condition, that they're going to operate tomorrow, and that her chances are 50-50.
01:11:57Jesus.
01:11:59Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:04The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:06And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either. I should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lakin.
01:12:15And now Alex could... she could...
01:12:18Hey, stop. Don't talk like that.
01:12:36Hey, Lakin.
01:12:44Oh my God, Alex, you're awake. Jesus Christ.
01:12:48I was so worried, I thought...
01:12:51I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:56Thank you. I'm fine.
01:13:00You should leave.
01:13:01What? What are you talking about?
01:13:04Lakin, why are you here?
01:13:06I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:09Because you feel guilty.
01:13:11This is what you do.
01:13:13You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:16No, it's not like that.
01:13:18I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.
01:13:22I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:27You are not a burden.
01:13:29I don't think that.
01:13:30I'd like you to go.
01:13:32I don't know.
01:14:00I don't know.
01:14:00I don't know.
01:14:01I don't know.
01:14:01Morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:21It's good to see you awake.
01:14:24You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:30I 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.
01:14:56You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode,
01:14:58so he's been helping out with Mulya
01:15:00while Mulya 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.
01:15:15I 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 and realize that.
01:15:32Jesus.
01:15:39Jesus.
01:15:39Sorry.
01:15:39I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:44Fuck.
01:15:44I'm sorry.
01:15:45I just...
01:15:49I thought you might need some help.
01:16:05Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:08Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:09Sorry.
01:16:15Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:17Alex.
01:16:18You're recovering from surgery.
01:16:21Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:22Okay.
01:16:22Okay.
01:16:22Okay.
01:16:39Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:51She misses you.
01:16:53Everyone misses you.
01:16:55My 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.
01:17:09I'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.
01:17:23What you told me about your parents
01:17:25and how they sacrificed everything for you,
01:17:28do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:33They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:35Yeah, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again,
01:17:39then they 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.
01:17:50About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:54I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:57But what you've taught me,
01:18:00what your parents have taught me,
01:18:03is that
01:18:04supporting someone,
01:18:07it's not about an obligation
01:18:09or to force an outcome.
01:18:12It is simply because
01:18:14you love them.
01:18:15Miss Livingston,
01:18:19Miss Livingston,
01:18:19you are the most
01:18:21selfless,
01:18:24independent,
01:18:25strong,
01:18:26and beautiful woman
01:18:28that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:32I 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.
01:18:41Prove it?
01:18:44How?
01:18:52Is that...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:02I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:03I 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.
01:19:26I love you, too.
01:19:33What are you doing next week?
01:19:56I want to take you to a party.
01:20:00Another 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.
01:20:17Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:23Happy birthday to you.
01:20:26Happy birthday to you.
01:20:27What did you wish for?
01:20:36A new mommy.
01:20:40One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:45I 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.
01:20:54I won't be the only one.
01:20:54Guys, I got you.
01:21:09No, I won't.
01:21:12Now I'm back.
01:21:15Tonight, I'm going.
01:21:17Yeah.
01:21:18Guys, I won't.
01:21:19So come with us, don't hold back
01:21:25And I know the sky is going black
01:21:30So come with us, don't hold back
