00:08:12i also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from amelio's
00:08:17oh and stay out of my personal life
00:08:22that'll be all for now i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:32that means you can go
00:08:40you can like lucifer
00:08:45his bark's worse than his bite trust me i'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
00:08:59name calling i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:02alex get in here we need to roll some calls to 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
00:09:27and shifting our operations to detroit might create bottlenecks we we just can't afford right now
00:09:33so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate i need solutions faster not more excuses people
00:09:41we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:44um sorry to interrupt
00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail
00:09:58contracts to offset the overflow
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 actually that could work worth a shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:31is there anything else i should know about my business not yet
00:10:41uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all
00:10:50alex has to go absolutely not she stays look dad i understand that i've been through an
00:10:57assistant or two seven this year this girl is overstepping she's jumping on executive leadership
00:11:03calls yes she was right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to
00:11:08strengthen my position with the board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job
00:11:14lincoln 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
00:11:25this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak
00:11:32you have to keep alex what are you saying you fire her and the board will find another ceo
00:11:54hey malia right how are you feeling better thank you for helping me the other day of course you know
00:12:10if you ever start to feel like that you should sit down and slow your heart rate what the hell are you

00:33:16Oh, my God.
00:33:46Do you want to come inside?
00:33:48Uh, no.
00:33:52Right. No. Of course not.
00:33:57Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:16Morning.
00:34:20Morning.
00:34:30I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.
00:34:35It's not your fault. Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know? Me. Dad.
00:34:40But I've seen how he is with Malia and...
00:34:43She's a soft spot.
00:34:45Laken's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:48Like, he needs therapy about it. Camila 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.
00:35:02It took him, like, three years to come to his senses.
00:35:04And when he finally did, oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:09Jesus.
00:35:11Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened. It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:21Look, I gotta run to a meeting. How about you come over for dinner tonight? Seven? I'll text you the details.
00:35:30Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:32Great.
00:35:41I can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:55Dad insisted.
00:35:57Something 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.
00:36:09Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:18Grandpa, I told you it's me.
00:36:20You?
00:36:21Ah, you're too tall.
00:36:23No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.
00:36:27Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:29Hmm.
00:36:30Cause this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:32Are we expecting company?
00:36:36Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:55Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it.
00:36:58I didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:10Me neither.
00:37:11It's okay.
00:37:12I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:29My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:42He's right.
00:37:43It is.
00:37:44Look on the bright side.
00:37:45At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:58That was delicious.
00:37:59Alright.
00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:05A word.
00:38:06Uh, Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:20Alex, I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:24Really?
00:38:25It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:30You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.
00:38:36Thank you, Jace.
00:38:37You're very welcome.
00:38:38Jace, don't-
00:38:39Bye.
00:38:41Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:43Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:47But I wanna hang out with Alex.
00:38:49Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:56Works for me.
00:39:00I'll be right back.
00:39:01Hey.
00:39:02Aw.
00:39:03Good job, Ed.
00:39:04Come on.
00:39:05Uh.
00:39:06Uh.
00:39:07Uh.
00:39:08Uh.
00:39:09Uh.
00:39:10Uh.
00:39:11Uh.
00:39:12Uh.
00:39:13Uh.
00:39:14Uh.
00:39:15Uh.
00:39:16Uh.
00:39:17Uh.
00:39:18Uh.
00:39:19Uh.
00:39:20Uh.
00:39:21Uh.
00:39:22Uh.
00:39:23Uh.
00:39:24Uh.
00:39:25Uh.
00:39:26Uh.
00:39:27Uh.
00:39:28Uh.
00:39:29Uh.
00:39:30Uh.
00:39:31Uh.
00:39:32Uh.
00:39:33Uh.
00:39:34Uh.
00:39:35Uh.
00:39:36Uh.
00:39:37Uh.
00:39:38Uh.
00:39:39Uh.
00:39:40Uh.
00:39:41Uh.
00:39:42Uh.
00:39:43Uh.
00:39:44Uh.
00:39:45Uh.
00:39:46Uh.
00:39:47Uh.
00:39:48Uh.
00:39:49Uh.
00:39:50Uh.
00:39:51Uh.
00:39:52Uh.
00:39:53Uh.
00:39:54Uh.
00:39:55Uh.
00:39:56Uh.
00:39:57Uh.
00:39:58I like her too.
00:40:06So, are we gonna figure out what happened?
00:40:10Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:15Your job is not in danger.
00:40:19Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:25What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:28I can't get involved with my assistant, not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:35But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:43I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:46I want you, Alex.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:49What if we separate church and state?
00:41:00At work, we're professional.
00:41:04But outside of work, we're...
00:41:07Unprofessional?
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:09I think the light is like...
00:41:10Unprofessional?
00:41:11Unprofessional?
00:41:12Unprofessional?
00:41:13Unprofessional?
00:41:16Unprofessional?
00:41:19Unprofessional?
00:41:20Like there's consistently dry day...
00:41:21It's the same, I keep running fast, left and right, wondering where my head's going now.
00:41:29I'm asleep, walking through all my problems now.
00:41:37Lea, hurry. Come on. Come on. Come on.
00:41:41Let's go, Lea. Come on.
00:41:43Come on.
00:41:44Faster.
00:41:46Hey, uh, Lakin's not here right now. He just landed in New York.
00:41:52I know, but it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:57Going to LA. Business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:02Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be childcare.
00:42:05I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:09Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:15Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey. It's okay, Malia.
00:42:25Alex, what's going on?
00:42:39Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:41Camilla 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?
00:42:47Let 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.
00:43:03I 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.
00:43:18Okay. Bye.
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.
00:43:46Has your mom done this before?
00:43:47Sort of.
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work trips.
00:44:00Work trips.
00:44:01Huh.
00:44:03Does your dad know about this?
00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:08She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit!
00:44:14I mean, shoot!
00:44:17Oh my god!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:37Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:42I didn't mean to.
00:44:43Better?
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:05How will we order some pizza?
00:45:06I don't know.
00:45:29Malia?
00:45:32Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:34You 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?
00:45:57I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:02I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:22Who is it?
00:46:23It's me.
00:46:24It's me.
00:46:32Lincoln.
00:46:34Hi.
00:46:36Hi.
00:46:37Can I see Malia?
00:46:40Daddy, shh.
00:47:10It'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 alright with me.
00:47:40No, no.
00:48:02Where do you think you're going?
00:48:05To find Malia?
00:48:07I'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.
00:48:21Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:38It wasn't a problem.
00:48:39Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:49Let me make it up to you.
00:48:55How are you going to do that?
00:48:56I don't know if I can take it.
00:49:01Must be a monster in my life.
00:49:03Let me show you.
00:49:05Lately feels like I've been faking.
00:49:08Think there's a stranger here and stuff.
00:49:11That you haven't.
00:49:13Let night.
00:49:15I lie awake.
00:49:17I want to escape this.
00:49:19Hold it tight.
00:49:22The air is changing.
00:49:23Let's run away.
00:49:28You're like the neighbors.
00:49:29Let's run away.
00:49:29Let's run away.
00:49:30Let's run away.
00:49:31Somewhere away from all these nightmares where nobody can find me.
00:49:37Let's run away.
00:49:41Let's run away from all the pain.
00:49:44You know, I think more people should try co-workers with men.
00:49:53Let's run away from all the benefits.
00:50:00So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:07Not really.
00:50:12Sorry.
00:50:13I 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, 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
00:50:36and make my life normal.
00:50:39And now they're gone.
00:50:41Car accident.
00:50:42When I was a senior in high school.
00:50:44I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:50Alex.
00:50:51Sorry.
00:50:51Way too much information.
00:50:54Especially 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.
00:51:06Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:10Look, 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.
00:51:31Truth 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.
00:51:58You know, she's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt?
00:52:04Abandoning her daughter like that, it's...
00:52:07Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:10I want to, but it's too risky.
00:52:13I mean, the courts usually side with the mother.
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.
00:52:37I don't know.
00:52:38I 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.
00:52:48And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:50Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:55And if that's money, fine.
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.
00:53:05I will talk to her this week.
00:53:22Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:23Greedy?
00:53:28I meant breakfast.
00:53:31You can cook?
00:53:33Yes, I can.
00:53:35For the right company.
00:53:36Ta-da.
00:53:54I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:54:00Shit.
00:54:00Fuck.
00:54:01I'm sorry.
00:54:01I didn't mean to.
00:54:03It's okay.
00:54:04Really, it's...
00:54:06Actually, kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:54:11Thank you again for everything.
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.
00:54:24Right.
00:54:26Not exactly.
00:54:32He told you all of that?
00:54:34What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:35A saint?
00:54:36Hardly.
00:54:40Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:46Cross my heart, hope to die.
00:54:51Your dad is paying me to do this, to help Lakin.
00:54:54That's what a job is.
00:54:55That's what a job is.
00:54:57You work for the company.
00:54:58You know that, right?
00:54:59You don't understand.
00:55:00Your 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 by any means necessary, he said.
00:55:12Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:14Fucking like rabbits?
00:55:16Coworkers with benefits?
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.
00:55:29I won't feel like that if he finds out, he'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:33Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:36Chase, I can't keep lying to him, I think, I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:47So more than co-workers with benefits.
00:55:49Thanks 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.
00:56:08You 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?
00:56:16Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in L.A.
00:56:21It was a work trip.
00:56:22Oh, really?
00:56:33She'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.
00:56:41I want sole custody.
00:56:44This is it?
00:56:44You 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...
00:57:06That 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?
00:57:23The 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.
00:57:34That's not who she is.
00:57:36If you don't believe me...
00:57:37Just 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?
00:57:58It 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.
00:58:10This 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'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?
00:58:24That is bullshit.
00:58:25My love life is none of your business.
00:58:28But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:58:31Alex is a smart girl with a good heart.
00:58:36She cares about Malia.
00:58:38And she challenges you.
00:58:40She's fired.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:43Thanks to you.
00:58:43Thanks to you.
00:58:47Thanks to you.
00:59:01What are you doing here?
00:59:10We need to talk.
00:59:13We 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.
00:59:25Were 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?
00:59:53That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:56That's all I am to you.
00:59:57Just a transaction?
00:59:59Of course not.
00:59:59Lakin, how 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, that's over too.
01:00:17Let's go.
01:00:47Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:13I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:17You'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...
01:01:37All 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,
01:01:44so 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.
01:01:54I can't waste any more time on Lakin.
01:01:57I 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.
01:02:29I just...
01:02:30I 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.
01:02:46We will.
01:02:50I promise.
01:02:51I promise.
01:03:16Text me, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,
01:03:46Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:53I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:05You 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.
01:04:16I 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.
01:04:43What do you care?
01:04:44Sarah, she's all yours now.
01:04:47Her little deal with dad is mute, and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lincoln, I'm gay.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:59You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:02I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:13I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:15Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:24I'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.
01:05:47She's a good person, Lincoln.
01:05:49She 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?
01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:06Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:17Call her.
01:06:17Call her.
01:06:47I don't know.
01:07:17Fuck 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?
01:07:46Yes.
01:08:05Pleasure 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?
01:08:30Good fucking riddance.
01:08:33I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:35Only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:38I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?
01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:49Congrats, bro.
01:08:54Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:09:07Come on.
01:09:07We should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong.
01:09:10The witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11And now, Malia has to be here, Malia has to live the rest of her life, knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:20On 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?
01:09:26Maybe 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 begging for her to take me back.
01:09:39It would make me look insane.
01:09:41Well, 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, but 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.
01:10:15Hi.
01:10:20Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:34What are you doing here?
01:10:37Jace brought me.
01:10:38To celebrate.
01:10:41I want full custody.
01:10:44Congratulations.
01:10:44Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:49Uh.
01:10:50Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.
01:10:54I made a huge mistake.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:57I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:05Alex, hey.
01:11:10You okay?
01:11:12You okay?
01:11:13You okay?
01:11:14Someone call 911.
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20It's okay.
01:11:25Okay.
01:11:37Any update?
01:11:43There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but...
01:11:47The doctor said that she's in critical condition.
01:11:50They're gonna operate tomorrow.
01:11:53And then her chances are 50-50.
01:11:56Jesus.
01:11:58Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:02The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:06And 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.
01:12:14And now Alex could... she could...
01:12:17Hey, stop. Don't talk like that.
01:12:36Hey, Lakin.
01:12:42Oh my god, Alex. You're awake. Jesus Christ.
01:12:47I was so worried. I thought...
01:12:50I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:54Thank you. I'm fine.
01:12:58You should leave.
01:13:00What? What are you talking about?
01:13:04Lakin, why are you here?
01:13:06I'm here because I care about you. Because...
01:13:08Because you feel guilty.
01:13:10This is what you do.
01:13:12You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:15No. It'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.
01:13:26You are not a burden. I don't think that.
01:13:30I'd like you to go.
01:14:00Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:21It's good to see you awake.
01:14:23You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:25I got you something.
01:14:30This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:47Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:52It was Dad.
01:14:54You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode,
01:14:57so he's been helping out with Mulya while Lakin watches over you here.
01:15:00Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:03Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:07He shouldn't have.
01:15:09You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:11Dad was good for it.
01:15:12It's done.
01:15:13I don't deserve it.
01:15:16What are you talking about?
01:15:18Look at me, Jace.
01:15:20I'm literally fucking scarred. Why should I-
01:15:22Hey, Alex.
01:15:25You deserve love.
01:15:27It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:31Jesus.
01:15:32Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:34Fuck.
01:15:35I'm sorry, I just-
01:15:36I thought you might need some help.
01:15:38Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:15:41Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:15:44I'm sorry, I just-
01:15:46I thought you might need some help.
01:15:48Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:15:50Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:15:51Sorry.
01:15:52Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:15:53Alex, you're recovering from surgery.
01:15:54I'm sorry.
01:15:55I'm sorry.
01:15:56I'm sorry.
01:15:57I'm sorry.
01:15:58I'm sorry.
01:15:59I'm sorry.
01:16:00I'm sorry.
01:16:01I'm sorry.
01:16:02I'm sorry.
01:16:03I'm sorry.
01:16:04I'm sorry.
01:16:05I'm sorry.
01:16:06I'm sorry.
01:16:07I'm sorry.
01:16:08I'm sorry.
01:16:09I'm sorry.
01:16:10I'm sorry.
01:16:12I'm sorry.
01:16:13I'm sorry.
01:16:14I'm sorry.
01:16:15I'm sorry.
01:16:16I'm sorry.
01:16:17I'm sorry.
01:16:18The autores STEM has come up to me.
01:16:19I'm sorry.
01:16:20I'm sorry.
01:16:21I'm sorry.
01:16:22I'm sorry.
01:16:23You're recovering from surgery.
01:16:24Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:38Malia 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.
01:17:09I've just, I'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,
01:17:26and 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 if they were given the chance to do it all over again,
01:17:38they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:40That's not sacrifice.
01:17:44That's love.
01:17:46I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:49About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:53I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:57But what you've taught me,
01:18:00what your parents have taught me,
01:18:03is that
01:18:04supporting someone,
01:18:07it's 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,
01:18:19you 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.
01:18:31I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:34And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it?
01:18:43How?
01:18:52Is that...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:57Are 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.
01:19:16Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:21Please.
01:19:25I love you, too.
01:19:27What are you doing next week?
01:19:55I want to take you to a party.
01:19:59Another gala?
01:20:02Something like that.
01:20:04And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:07Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:10Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:21Happy birthday to you.
01:20:26What did you wish for?
01:20:36A new mommy.
01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:44I got you something.
01:20:45it might not be the biggest present you get but
