00:09:03alex 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 it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution
00:09:24centers are already slowing down operation times and shifting our operations to detroit might create
00:09:31bottlenecks we just can't afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:37i need solutions faster not more excuses people we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:48um sorry to interrupt
00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland
00:09:57and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow
00:10:02so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:05uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but
00:10:13cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure
00:10:17it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down
00:10:21entirely actually that could work worth the shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at
00:10:29it and sort out the details is there anything else i should know about my business not yet
00:10:36uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all

00:11:05right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my position with
00:11:09the board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job lincoln a good leader isn't threatened
00:11:16by his employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control
00:11:23well the board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look
00:11:27indecisive and weak you have to keep alex oh what are you saying you fire her and the board will find

00:20:24This is a work event.
00:20:35The whole board's going to be there.
00:20:37It's easy on the drinks.
00:20:38Do as I say, not as I do.
00:20:53You ready?
00:20:57Let's see.
00:21:10So, Miss Livingston,
00:21:37I 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.
00:22:00I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.
00:22:03My parents are the only ones who called me that.
00:22:11I see.
00:22:14I apologize.
00:22:16I didn't know.
00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:21Hey.
00:22:23Alex.
00:22:23I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:34I 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.
00:22:50Let's get to turn even me straight.
00:22:55Picked it out just for you.
00:22:56It's perfect.
00:22:57Let me have this dance, me lady.
00:22:58It's just the way I've never had been done.
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.
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.
00:23:27Date?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29My guest.
00:23:30You know what I mean.
00:23:31Yeah, sure.
00:23:32I know what you mean.
00:23:33I'll take that.
00:23:33I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:47It's just a dance.
00:23:48Do not be weird about this.
00:23:50Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:52Everyone else is dancing.
00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:54And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right.
00:24:02So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:18Chase?
00:24:18Chase?
00:24:18Of course not.
00:24:22That was nothing.
00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:26If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:29Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:32I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's, you know.
00:24:40He's what?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind.
00:24:50So, you guys aren't that close then?
00:24:53Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:24:57If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.
00:25:03It'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.
00:25:13It's unprofessional.
00:25:14What, this?
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.
00:25:31They're rarely touching.
00:25:38Lincoln.
00:25:40Dad.
00:25:41Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:48Miss Livingston?
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:56Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:02Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:08Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:11Oh, yes.
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:14Nice work.
00:26:16Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:18I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:20Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34I make it.
00:26:36What are you doing here?
00:26:37I just thought I'd stop by.
00:26:38I thought you could use moral support.
00:26:41Where's Malia?
00:26:42I got a babysitter.
00:26:43I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:51Who's this?
00:26:53No one.
00:26:54Just my assistant.
00:26:57Alex.
00:26:59Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:00As I was saying, the transit times in New York, I really...
00:27:05Come on, Lincoln.
00:27:07Don't be a poor.
00:27:08It's a party.
00:27:09No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:11Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:14Maybe later.
00:27:15These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:19What are you doing?
00:27:30Are you drunk?
00:27:31The whole office is here.
00:27:32We never have any time together.
00:27:34And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:27:35We're not together anymore.
00:27:37You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.
00:27:40Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:42I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
00:27:45I just...
00:27:46I miss you.
00:27:49And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.
00:27:53I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:27:56For old time's sake.
00:28:00One dance.
00:28:17Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:19Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:34Facts, Lincoln.
00:28:35So 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?
00:28:48Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:51Malia is getting older.
00:28:52Malia is getting older.
00:28:54It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with 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.
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:10Camilla, don't.
00:29:11Kiss me.
00:29:12If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:20Stop.
00:29:21Jesus.
00:29:21Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:28Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me.
00:29:33You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:35Because you know I will.
00:29:38Let me make something very clear to you.
00:29:41We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:29:44You hear me?
00:29:45Ever.
00:29:46Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:30:12Not having any fun.
00:30:18Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:28This is my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:31And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:35And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:40So it's last call, right?
00:30:42I 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.
00:30:55It's okay.
00:31:07Arturo.
00:31:09Took Miss Livingston home.
00:31:10You're being incredibly rude.
00:31:12You know that?
00:31:12You're getting wasted at a company party.
00:31:15It's totally inappropriate.
00:31:18Don'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?
00:31:36Charming 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?
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:51Liar.
00:31:52Liar.
00:31:52I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:15Yeah, it was a lot.
00:32:17You don't know about me.
00:32:26That cost $8,000.
00:32:28Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:32Now get the hell over here.
00:32:39Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd.
00:32:43Fuck me.
00:32:47Fuck me.
00:32:47Fuck me.
00:32:49Evil sets a mouth away.
00:32:51Tonight that we both love.
00:32:53I wanna be with you.
00:32:55I wanna be with you.
00:32:57We can't let this slip away.
00:32:59You know how I want this thing.
00:33:01Yes, I wanna be with you.
00:33:03I wanna play with you.
00:33:05I want no way.
00:33:06We can't let this go to waste.
00:33:09I don't want nobody else to see.
00:33:12Don't let this go to waste.
00:33:15You are...
00:33:45Want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no.
00:33:52Right. No.
00:33:56Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:15Good morning.
00:34:22Good morning.
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.
00:34:37Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:40Me.
00:34:41Dad.
00:34:41But I've seen how he is with Malia and...
00:34:44He's a soft spot.
00:34:47Laken's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:49Like, he needs therapy about it.
00:34:52Camilla really messed him up.
00:34:53Look, 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.
00:35:05And when he finally did, oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus.
00:35:11Yeah.
00:35:12Maybe it's just best 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.
00:35:26How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:28Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details.
00:35:31Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:32Great.
00:35:42Can'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.
00:36:01I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.
00:36:04You know, like normal business partners and not...
00:36:06Family members.
00:36:08Exactly.
00:36:08Exactly.
00:36:12Did 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.
00:36:24No, 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.
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:42Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:55Alex?
00:36:56Wakan?
00:36:58Who made it?
00:36:58Uh...
00:36:59Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:25Me neither.
00:37:26It's okay.
00:37:37I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:44He's right.
00:37:45It is.
00:37:47Look on the bright side.
00:37:48At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:59That was delicious.
00:38:01All right.
00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:08A word.
00:38:08Uh, Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:21Alex, 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.
00:38:32You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lakin some time alone.
00:38:37Thank you, Jace.
00:38:38You'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 wanna hang out with Alex.
00:38:50Please, Daddy.
00:38:51Please.
00:38:56Works for me.
00:38:57I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:13Come on.
00:39:14Get your bed.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:17Come on.
00:39:27She likes you, you know?
00:39:54She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:40:00I like her, too.
00:40:07So, are we gonna figure out what happened?
00:40:11Or 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.
00:40:24What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I...
00:40:28I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:31Not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:36But I also can't accept the fact that 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?
00:41:01At work, we're professional.
00:41:05But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:09I think the light is like...
00:41:11I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems, no.
00:41:17I 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 going, oh.
00:41:29I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems, no.
00:41:35Let's go, Malia, come on.
00:41:44Faster.
00:41:47Hey, uh, Lincoln's not here right now.
00:41:50He just landed in New York.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:53But it turns out I 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, I'm not really here to be child care.
00:42:06I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:10Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't she want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey, it's okay, Malia.
00:42:29Alex, what's going on?
00:42:40Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:41Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:43She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:46What?
00:42:47Let me talk to her.
00:42:52Hi, honey. 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 wanted.
00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay. Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Okay, so we'll get you fed.
00:43:30I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets back, is that too much rice?
00:43:35I'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.
00:44:00Work 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!
00:44:15I mean, shoot!
00:44:16Shoot!
00:44:16Oh, my God!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:37Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:42I didn't mean to.
00:44:46I didn't mean to.
00:44:47I didn't mean to.
00:44:47I didn't mean to.
00:44:48I didn't mean to.
00:44:49I didn't mean to.
00:44:50I didn't mean to.
00:44:51I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:05Now, we'll order some pizza.

00:48:09her to school we're all alone what about work time off for good behavior
00:48:21thank you again for taking care of her
00:48:35it wasn't a problem
00:48:42apparently it is for her mother
00:48:49let me make it up to you
00:48:55how are you gonna do that
00:49:00if i can take it must be a monster in my life
00:49:06lately feels like i've been faking
00:49:08think there's a stranger here
00:49:22i feel like the neighbors
00:49:35you know i think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:54so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:08not really
00:50:12sorry 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 my parents were incredible
00:50:30they gave up everything for me they drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built
00:50:35for themselves to try and make my life normal and now they're gone
00:50:39car accident when i was a senior in high school i begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then
00:50:50alex sorry way too much information especially from a buddy you don't need to know my sob story
00:50:57you know that malia's heart condition is congenital i know
00:51:04she told me yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:11look i've never told anybody this but
00:51:15malia was more with her defect because camilla
00:51:19she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out on modeling gigs
00:51:24i only found out before it was too late oh my god
00:51:31it's terrible truth is she never really wanted to have a baby i 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 leakin
00:51:48the only reason she wants to get back together is for the money not for me and certainly not for
00:51:57her daughter you know she she's always been irresponsible but this latest stunt you know
00:52:04abandoning her daughter like that it's have you thought about pursuing soul custody i want to but
00:52:12it's too risky and the courts usually side with the mother i i can't risk losing my daughter
00:52:18they don't always
00:52:21malia told me this wasn't the first time camilla's done something like this
00:52:25what did she say to you
00:52:27camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips it's dangerous and clearly her emotional
00:52:33needs aren't being met i think you could have a case here i don't know
00:52:37i don't want to put her through that i mean making her testify against her own mother i
00:52:44i can't do that i know you want what's best for malia and sharing her with camilla isn't it
00:52:52maybe you should just give camilla what she really wants and if that's money fine you have it
00:52:59malia deserves people in her life who care about her you're right malia deserves better
00:53:05i will talk to her this week
00:53:17thank you
00:53:22seems like i owe you again
00:53:27greedy i meant breakfast
00:53:30you can cook yes i can for the right company
00:53:46ta-da
00:53:46i should have known someone near sugar would have such a sweet tooth
00:54:00shit fuck i'm sorry i i didn't mean to
00:54:03it's okay really it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again
00:54:09thank you again for everything i know this wasn't part of the job description and i'm sure dealing
00:54:17with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:24great not exactly
00:54:27he told you all of that what are you a miracle worker the saint hardly
00:54:40look if i tell you something you promise not to say anything to anyone cross my hair hope to die
00:54:47your dad is paying me to do this to help lakin
00:54:56that's what a job is you work for the company you know that right you don't understand your dad
00:55:01offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if i stuck it out as lakin's
00:55:06assistant he wanted me to keep him away from camilla by any means necessary he said
00:55:12that now that lakin and i are working like rabbits co-workers with benefits excuse me
00:55:21it just it seems wrong not to tell him why because you're helping him get his
00:55:26together and getting paid for it seems like a win-win to me i won't feel like that if he
00:55:31finds out i don't think i'm just using him well maybe he doesn't have to find out chase i can't
00:55:38keep lying to him i think i think i'm falling for him
00:55:47so more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:58thanks for meeting me
00:56:01i wanted to talk to you about your new girlfriend
00:56:03what i know all about your little sleepover you know i'd appreciate it if you told me before
00:56:11bringing another woman into our daughter's life especially that one what do you mean by that one
00:56:18alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in l.a it was a work trip oh really
00:56:30she's already proven to be way better at taking care of malia than you've ever been
00:56:36which is actually why i'm here enough is enough i want sole custody this is it you want to break up
00:56:47our family for that lying you don't want a family you just want my money i see right through you camilla
00:56:53you think i want money how much do you know about your little assistant what do you mean
00:57:03i hate to be the one to tell you this but that girl is using you lakin
00:57:15i overheard jason her laughing about it in the break room earlier today
00:57:19what do you mean she's using me the only reason why she's working for you
00:57:27is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me
00:57:33no she wouldn't do that that's not who she is if you don't believe me just ask your dad
00:57:39is it true lakin what are you doing here did you hire alex in order to keep tabs on me
00:57:58it was for your own good do not give me that father knows best routine
00:58:02this is a complete betrayal of my trust your personal issues were affecting not only the
00:58:07business but our family that is absurd this has nothing to do with the company your inability
00:58:12to cut camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader as in does the
00:58:18way you've closed yourself off from any connection romantic or so what i i can't be ceo if i don't
00:58:23open my heart that is bullshit my love life is none of your business but the well-being of my granddaughter

01:03:56You 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.
01:04:13I 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.
01:04:34I 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.
01:04:47Her little deal with dad is mute and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lincoln, I'm gay.
01:04:52You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:17Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:37Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:41But 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.
01:05:50She cares about you.
01:05:51A lot.
01:05:54She hated the deal.
01:05:56She hated lying to you.
01:05:58She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:03And why should I?
01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:06I feel like it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:17Don't do it.
01:06:22Yeah.
01:06:27You're welcome.
01:06:27Sandra.
01:06:28All right.
01:06:30Bye.
01:06:32Bye.
01:06:33Bye.
01:06:35Bye.
01:06:39Bye.
01:06:40Bye.
01:06:41Bye.
01:06:42Bye.
01:06:43Bye.
01:06:45Bye.
01:07:16Fuck 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.
01:07:43What? You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:06Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:07You 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.
01:08:35Only 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.
01:08:41All right?
01:08:41And if you don't want to excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:53Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on. We should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:13Yeah.
01:09:14And now Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:19On the positive side, Malia is all yours now.
01:09:23You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:25What else could you want?
01:09:28Maybe a certain little assistant to help you get custody.
01:09:32She blocked my number.
01:09:35And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:40It 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.
01:09:53But I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:58She's working here again?
01:10:02Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:15Hi.
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 have seen you take my break right now.
01:11:05Alex, here.
01:11:06You okay?
01:11:11Someone call 911!
01:11:17Help!
01:11:17It's okay.
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20Any update?
01:11:29Changing Dr. Benger.
01:11:31Changing Dr. Benger.
01:11:34Any update?
01:11:39There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but the doctor said that she's in critical
01:11:50condition, they're going to operate tomorrow, and that her chances are 50-50.
01:11:57Jesus.
01:11:57Her 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 help either.
01:12:10I, I, I should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lincoln.
01:12:13And now Alex could, she could.
01:12:17Hey, stop.
01:12:19Don't talk like that.
01:12:40Hey, Lincoln.
01:12:41Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:46Jesus Christ.
01:12:48I was so worried, I thought, I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:57I'm fine.
01:13:00You should leave.
01:13:02What?
01:13:02What are you talking about?
01:13:04Lincoln, why are you here?
01:13:06I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:08Because you feel guilty.
01:13:09This is what you do.
01:13:13You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:16No.
01:13:17It's not like that.
01:13:18I don't want to be your charity case, Lincoln.
01:13:21I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:26You are not a burden.
01:13:28I don't think that.
01:13:31I'd like you to go.
01:13:32You're not a burden.
01:13:40I don't want to tell you.
01:13:44You are not a burden.
01:13:45You are not a burden.
01:13:47You are my purse.
01:13:48You are not a burden.
01:13:57So make me feel.
01:13:59Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:21It's good to see you awake.
01:14:23You 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.
01:14:54He felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Malia while they can watch us over you here.
01:15:01Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:05Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:08He shouldn't have.
01:15:09You 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?
01:15:19Look 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.
01:15:57Sorry.
01:15:58I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:59Fuck.
01:16:00I'm sorry.
01:16:01I just...
01:16:02I thought you might need some help.
01:16:05Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:07Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:13Sorry.
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.
01:16:22I'm sorry.
01:16:22I'm sorry.
01:16:30Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:50She misses you.
01:16:52Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad.
01:16:56Jace.
01:16:59And 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.
01:17:12And 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 and how they sacrificed everything for you,
01:17:28do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:31They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:35Hey, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again,
01:17:39they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:41That'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.
01:17:54I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:57But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me,
01:18:03is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:11It is simply because you love them.
01:18:17Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong,
01:18:25and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:31I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:36And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it? How?
01:18:52Is that...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:55Just 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.
01:19:16Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:21Please.
01:19:21Please.
01:19:21I love you, too.
01:19:24I love you, too.
01:19:26I love you, too.
01:19:26What are you doing next week?
01:19:55I want to take you to a party.
01:19:59Another gala?
01:20:02Something like that.
01:20:04And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:07Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:16Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:20Happy birthday to you.
01:20:29What did you wish for?
01:20:35A new mommy.
01:20:37One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:44I got you something.
01:20:47It might not be the biggest present you get, but I think you'll like it.
01:20:52I have one, too.
01:20:56Just like you.
01:20:56I have one.
01:20:57I don't ever stop.
01:21:01Yeah, I need a miracle.
01:21:03Don't hold back tonight, don't hold back tonight
