00:08:12i also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from amelio's
00:08:16oh
00:08:17and stay out of my personal life
00:08:20that'll be all for now
00:08:23i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:26that means you can go
00:08:34lakin
00:08:42i like lucifer
00:08:44this bark's worse than his bite
00:08:46trust me
00:08:47i'm jace
00:08:49lucifer's angelic younger brother
00:08:52you are
00:08:52alex
00:08:54lincoln's new assistant
00:08:55and uh
00:08:56it would be
00:08:57great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling
00:09:00i've said worse
00:09:01your secret's safe with me
00:09:03alex
00:09:05get in here
00:09:06we need to roll some calls to south korea
00:09:08you're gonna need that
00:09:10coming
00:09:12we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure
00:09:19it's costing us
00:09:21labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times and
00:09:27shifting our operations to detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford right now
00:09:33so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:36i need solutions faster not more excuses people
00:09:40we're exploring alternatives
00:09:43nothing definitive yet
00:09:45um sorry to interrupt
00:09:50but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow
00:09:59so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:04uh
00:10:06uh no
00:10:07but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but cleveland's
00:10:13underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure
00:10:16it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely
00:10:22actually that could work worth a shot
00:10:26i 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
00:10:34you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away
00:10:46that'll be all
00:10:47alex has to go
00:10:51absolutely not she stays
00:10:54look dad i understand that i've been through an assistant or two
00:10:58seven this year
00:10:59this girl is overstepping
00:11:01uh... she's jumping on executive leadership calls
00:11:04yes she was right
00:11:05but she is undermining me in front of my team
00:11:08how is that supposed to strengthen my position with the board
00:11:10so you want to fire her for being too good at her job
00:11:14lincoln
00:11:15a good leader isn't threatened by his employees
00:11:17threatened
00:11:19i am not threatened by her
00:11:21but she makes it look like i've lost control
00:11:23well the board already thinks you've lost control
00:11:25this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak
00:11:31you have to keep alex
00:11:33what are you saying
00:11:36you fire her and the board will find another ceo
00:11:40no
00:11:42no
00:11:43no
00:11:47hey
00:11:50melia right

00:12:05How are you feeling?
00:12:07Better.
00:12:07Thank you for helping me the other day.
00:12:09Of course.
00:12:10You know, if you ever start to feel like that, you should sit down and slow your heart rate.
00:12:15What the hell are you doing?
00:12:15Malia, honey, why don't you get started on your homework, okay?
00:12:27Your job is to help with my work, not butt into my personal life.
00:12:30I was just trying...
00:12:31From now on, I want you to leave my daughter alone.
00:12:35How about I leave you alone, huh?
00:12:38I quit.
00:12:39Come on, it's only been a week.
00:12:41You really giving up that fast?
00:12:43You know what?
00:12:44Fine.
00:12:45Leave.
00:12:46Guess you're just not cut out for a big girl job, are you, waitress?
00:12:55Alex, hang on.
00:12:59Alex!
00:13:05Alex, wait.
00:13:06Alex!
00:13:11I told you to wait.
00:13:12I'm not going to stay here and subject myself to this bullshit any longer.
00:13:18I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:13:21I'll double your salary.
00:13:23I'll give you a four-day work week, whatever you want.
00:13:28Look, you can't leave, okay?
00:13:32I need you to stay.
00:13:35How about starting with an apology?
00:13:36I've been working my ass off all week, doing everything you say, and you're still a dick to me.
00:13:43What do I have to do to please you?
00:13:48Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:13:51It's not your fault.
00:13:54I just, uh...
00:13:55Alex, hang on.
00:14:08Alex, hey, Alex, hey, Alex, wait one second.
00:14:12Look, I don't know what came over me, okay?
00:14:16But I can't lose you.
00:14:18I promise from now on, I will clean up my act.
00:14:21No more verbal abuse?
00:14:23I didn't...
00:14:25Fine.
00:14:27No more.
00:14:28And no more calling me waitress.
00:14:30It's Miss Livingston or Alex.
00:14:33Got it.
00:14:35And you said something about doubling my salary.
00:14:39Stick around for a few more months, and then we'll talk, okay?
00:14:42Okay.
00:14:45You won't regret it.
00:14:48Want a bag?
00:14:49Huh.
00:15:15Sorry I'm late.
00:15:17Traffic was hell.
00:15:20A menu for you, sir.
00:15:25Hi, Malia.
00:15:27Can't compete with that iPad.
00:15:30We order drinks.
00:15:34A 2005 Roman Acon tea.
00:15:37Best bottle on the menu.
00:15:39It better be.
00:15:40It costs $15,000.
00:15:40We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:43Not until after I get board approval on.
00:15:51So, what did you want to talk to me about?
00:15:55Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:16:01It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:16:03Malia, honey, you and I talked about this, right?
00:16:08Your mother and I love you very much.
00:16:12It's just...
00:16:13It's not easy for us to be around each other right now.
00:16:19Maybe.
00:16:19We could try a little harder.
00:16:23Hey.
00:16:32I just wanted to give you a status report before I head home.
00:16:35Thank you, Ms. Livingston.
00:16:39So, regarding South Korea, I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week.
00:16:42I'm working...
00:16:43Like the world was ending.
00:16:47We could tell that it's alright.
00:16:50It's alright.
00:16:52It's alright.
00:16:53It's alright.
00:16:56Lakin, are you listening to me?
00:16:59Uh, sorry.
00:17:00As I was saying, uh, where was I?
00:17:03You can just take your top off.
00:17:05Oh my God, I meant you can just take it from the top.
00:17:09I got to go.
00:17:25No soy sauce in this whole building?
00:17:29They're still here.
00:17:30That's surprising.
00:17:33You and my brother getting along better?
00:17:35Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:39So, that little argument you guys had the other day, what was that?
00:17:42A lover's quarrel?
00:17:45Look who's blushing.
00:17:47I am not blushing, and that wasn't a lover's quarrel.
00:17:51He doesn't like me like that.
00:17:53So he didn't run after you in the elevator and sweep you off your feet?
00:17:58Chase.
00:17:59Lakin.
00:18:01So we were just talking about you.
00:18:03Lovely assistant you've got here.
00:18:05Such a sweetheart.
00:18:07Anywho, I gotta go.
00:18:08I'll talk to you later, Alex.
00:18:09You needed me for something?
00:18:14The, uh, the company's hosting a charity fundraiser tomorrow night, and I need you to go with
00:18:19me.
00:18:21You need a date?
00:18:23No, uh, what I need is my assistant close by.
00:18:26So, if you have any plans, just go ahead and cancel them.
00:18:30And here.
00:18:31Take my card and buy yourself a dress this afternoon.
00:18:35Try to keep it under $10,000, all right?
00:18:38No problem.
00:18:39I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.
00:18:45Got it.
00:18:45Under $10,000.
00:18:46Oh.
00:18:49And seeing as I'm buying, I like red.

00:20:04Did you?
00:20:05Oops.
00:20:06Must have slipped my mind.
00:20:22Looks like we're almost there.
00:20:24Looks like we're almost there.
00:20:32Remember, this is a work event.
00:20:35The whole void's going to be there.
00:20:37It's easy on the drinks.
00:20:38Do as I say, not as I do.
00:20:54You ready?
00:20:57It's easy on the drinks.
00:20:58It's easy on the drinks.
00:21:12So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight,
00:21:41and you lied to me.
00:21:46Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:51I thought only HR saw that.
00:21:55Oh, don't be embarrassed, Sugar.
00:21:58I think that's a very sweet name.
00:22:00I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.
00:22:06My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:11I see.
00:22:14I apologize.
00:22:15I didn't know.
00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:21Hey.
00:22:23Alex.
00:22:26I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:28I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:37I'll be right back.
00:22:45Look at you.
00:22:46You look stunning.
00:22:49See the dress?
00:22:53This could turn even me straight.
00:22:55Picked it out just for you.
00:22:56It's perfect.
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:23:18For 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.
00:23:27Dane?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29My guest.
00:23:30You know what I mean.
00:23:31Yeah, yeah, sure.
00:23:31I know what you mean.
00:23:32I'll take that.
00:23:33I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:47It'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.
00:23:55And 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?
00:24:20Jase?
00:24:21Of course not.
00:24:22That was nothing.
00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:24If 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.
00:24:35Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's, you know.
00:24:42He'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.
00:25:01It's important to make time for family, Lincoln.
00:25:05That's none of your concern.
00:25:08Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:12It's unprofessional.
00:25:17What, 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.
00:25:30Who?
00:25:31We're rarely touching.
00:25:37Lincoln.
00:25:40Dad.
00:25:42Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:48Miss Livingston?
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:51Okay.
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.
00:26:10Oh, yes.
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:14Nice work.
00:26:15Yes, 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.
00:26:35What are you doing here?
00:26:37I just thought I'd stop by.
00:26:38I thought you could use the moral support.
00:26:41Where's Malia?
00:26:42I got a babysitter.
00:26:45I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:51Who's this?
00:26:51Uh, no one.
00:26:54Just, uh, my assistant.
00:26:57Alex.
00:26:58Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:02As I was saying, the transit time's in New York.
00:27:04I really...
00:27:05Come on, Lincoln.
00:27:06Don't be a bore.
00:27:07It's a party.
00:27:09No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:11Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:13Maybe later.
00:27:15These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:16You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:28What are you doing?
00:27:30Are you drunk?
00:27:30The whole office is here.
00:27:32We never have any time together.
00:27:33And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:27:35We're not together anymore.
00:27:37You 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.
00:27:44I just...
00:27:46I miss you.
00:27:49And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.
00:27:53I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:27:56For all time's sake.
00:28:00One dance.
00:28:01Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:25This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Facts, Lincoln.
00:28:34So tense.
00:28:37I could fix that, you know.
00:28:39What do you want, hmm?
00:28:41And don't give me some bullshit about missing me.
00:28:44I know you.
00:28:45You want money, don't you?
00:28:46Have 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.
00:29:00We tried.
00:29:02And failed miserably.
00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla, don't.
00:29:11Kiss me.
00:29:12If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:15Stop.
00:29:21Jesus.
00:29:24Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:27Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me.
00:29:32You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:35Because you know I will.
00:29:38Let me make something very clear to you.
00:29:41We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:29:43You hear me?
00:29:44Ever.
00:29:45Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:30:12Not having any fun?
00:30:13No.
00:30:15Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:28It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:30And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:35And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:40So it's the last call, right?
00:30:41I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:30:43Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.
00:30:45Oh my God!
00:30:46Stop!
00:30:49Something funny?
00:30:50Time to go.
00:30:51Time to go.
00:31:07Arturo.
00:31:08I took 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.
00:31:14It's totally inappropriate.
00:31:17Don't you inappropriate me.
00:31:19Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.
00:31:20You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:22Okay, first of all, she's my ex.
00:31:25And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:27I'm a CEO.
00:31:29Interrupt.
00:31:30Right.
00:31:31Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:31:34What, my title not good enough for you?
00:31:35Charm your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:37CEO this week, chairman the next.
00:31:40Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.
00:31:42What do you care anyway?
00:31:44I thought you weren't attracted to me.
00:31:46I'm not.
00:31:48Oh yeah?
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:51Liar.
00:31:51I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:16Yeah, well, there's a lot you don't know about me.
00:32:18Okay.
00:32:21That cost $8,000.
00:32:28Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:31Now get the hell over here.
00:32:39Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:32:51I want to be with you.
00:33:14Oh!
00:33:20Whoop!
00:33:20You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:48Uh, no.
00:33:50Right, no, of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:02Good morning.
00:34:20Good morning.
00:34:22Good morning.
00:34:22Good morning.
00:34:23I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.
00:34:35No.
00:34:36It's not your fault.
00:34:37Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:39Me.
00:34:40Dad.
00:34:41I've seen how he is with Malia and...
00:34:43She's a soft spot.
00:34:46Laken's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:49Like, he needs therapy about it.
00:34:52Camilla really messed him up.
00:34:54Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:58That 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, and when he finally did, oh, surprise,
00:35:06surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:08Jesus.
00:35:10Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:18Look, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:25How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details.
00:35:29Yeah.
00:35:30I'm down.
00:35:31Great.
00:35:32Can'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...
00:36:06Family members.
00:36:07Exactly.
00:36:12Did you 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.
00:36:31Cause this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:33Hehehe.
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:47Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:49Alex?
00:36:50Wakan?
00:36:51You mean it.
00:36:52ALEKS?
00:36:53Wakan?
00:36:54You made it.
00:36:55Uh...
00:36:56ALEKS?
00:36:57Wakan?
00:36:58You made it.
00:36:59Uh...
00:37:00ALEKS?
00:37:03ALEKS?
00:37:05Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:24Me neither.
00:37:35It's okay. I don't like asparagus either. My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:43He's right. It is. Look on the bright side. At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:57Thank you. That was delicious.
00:37:59All right. Miss Livingston, a word.
00:38:14Uh, 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. Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:29You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lakin some time alone.
00:38:37Thank 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?
00:38:47But I wanna hang out with Alex. Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:56Works for me.
00:38:57I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:13Come on.
00:39:14Good job, Ed.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:17Come on.
00:39:17Come on.
00:39:18Come on.
00:39:48She likes you, you know?
00:39:56She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:59I like her, too.
00:40:00So, 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.
00:40:23What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I...
00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:31Not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:33I...
00:40:34But I also can't accept the fact that...
00:40:39Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:41I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:46I want you, Alex.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:56What if we separate church and state?
00:41:01At work, we're professional.
00:41:04But 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.
00:41:16I know I can't make it through.
00:41:21Every night is the same.
00:41:23I keep rolling fast, left and right.
00:41:26Wondering where my head's gone now.
00:41:29I'm asleep walking through all of my problems.
00:41:37Malia, hurry.
00:41:38Come on.
00:41:39Come on.
00:41:40Come on.
00:41:41Let's go, Malia.
00:41:42Come on.
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster!
00:41:46Hey.
00:41:48Uh, Lakin's not here right now.
00:41:50He just landed in New York.
00:41:51New York.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:53But it turns out 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 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?
00:42:19Why doesn't she want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey.
00:42:24It'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.
00:42:53Are 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.
00:43:17Okay, 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?
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:41Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of.
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work 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.
00:44:07Um, she says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit!
00:44:14I mean, shoot!
00:44:34Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:41I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:05How will we order some pizza?
00:45:29Malia?
00:45:30Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:39You can talk to me.
00:45:42Believe me, I understand.
00:45:46What do you mean?
00:45:47It's from surgery.
00:45:53I was born with a heart defect.
00:45:55Just like you.
00:45:57Really?
00:46:00I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:02I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:02Well, it's like me.
00:46:22Who is it?
00:46:24It's me.
00:46:25What?

00:50:12sorry i um i was just curious
00:50:17congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much too much
00:50:22this condition these bills this scar my parents were incredible they gave up everything for me they drained their savings and what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal
00:50:38and now they're gone
00:50:39car accident when i was a senior in high school i begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then
00:50:48alex
00:50:50sorry way too much information especially from a fuck buddy you don't need to know my sob story
00:50:57you know that malia's heart condition is congenital
00:51:03i know
00:51:04she told me
00:51:05yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:07look i've never told anybody this but
00:51:14malia 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 modeling gigs
00:51:25i only found out before it was too late
00:51:28oh my god
00:51:30it's terrible
00:51:32truth is
00:51:33she 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 leacon
00:51:51the only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:54is 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
00:52:03you know abandoning her daughter like that it's
00:52:07have you thought about pursuing soul custody
00:52:10i want to but
00:52:11it's too risky
00:52:13the courts usually side with the mother i i 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
00:52:26canada leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips
00:52:31it's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met
00:52:35i think you could have a case here
00:52:36i don't know
00:52:38i don't want to put her through that i mean
00:52:41making her testify against her own mother
00:52:44i 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

00:54:15and i'm sure dealing with my ex
00:54:18wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:24great
00:54:26not exactly
00:54:32he told you all of that
00:54:33what are you a miracle worker
00:54:35a saint
00:54:36hardly
00:54:39look
00:54:41if i tell you something you promise not to say anything to anyone
00:54:44cross my inner hope to die
00:54:51your 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
00:54:59you don't understand your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills
00:55:04for life if i stuck it out as lakin's assistant he wanted me to keep him away from camilla
00:55:09by any means necessary he said
00:55:14now that lakin and i are
00:55:15fucking like rabbits
00:55:17co-workers with benefits excuse me
00:55:21it just it seems wrong not to tell him
00:55:25why because you're helping him get his together and getting paid for it seems 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 well
00:55:34maybe he doesn't have to find out
00:55:37chase i can't keep lying to him i think
00:55:42i think i'm falling for him
00:55:43so more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:58thanks for meeting me
00:56:01i wanted to talk to you about your new girlfriend
00:56:04what i know all about your little sleepover
00:56:07you know i'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life
00:56:13especially that one
00:56:15what do you mean by that one
00:56:17alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in la
00:56:21it was a work trip
00:56:22oh really
00:56:32she's already proven to be way better at taking care of malia than you've ever been
00:56:36which is actually why i'm here
00:56:39enough is enough
00:56:41i want sole custody
00:56:44this is it
00:56:46you want to break up our family for that lying little
00:56:49you don't want a family you just want my money i see right through you camilla
00:56:53you think i want money
00:56:56how much do you know about your little assistant what do you mean
00:56:58i hate to be the one to tell you this but that girl is using you lakin
00:57:10i overheard jason her laughing about it in the break room earlier today
00:57:21what do you mean she's using me
00:57:24the only reason why she's working for you
00:57:27is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me
00:57:30no she wouldn't do that that's not who she is
00:57:36if you don't believe me just ask your dad
00:57:39is it true
00:57:50lakin what are you doing here
00:57:52did you hire alex in order to keep tabs on me
00:57:58it 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
00:58:09this has nothing to do with the company
00:58:11your inability to cut camilla from your life seriously calls into question your
00:58:15abilities 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 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
00:58:27but the well-being of my granddaughter still is
00:58:31alex is a smart girl with a good heart
00:58:35she cares about malia
00:58:38and she challenges you
00:58:40she's fired thanks to you
00:59:01what are you doing here

00:59:13we are you 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 because you still love her god it was so stupid

00:59:29god alex i i trusted you i i told you things that i've never even told my family
00:59:36and this whole time you were just in it for the money
00:59:41i that was before anything happened between us lakin i couldn't say no
00:59:47that kind of money you know my situation but i never meant to hurt you and
00:59:52fucking me what that was just a way to ensure job security

01:02:59you
01:03:45Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:52I 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.
01:04:15I 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?
01:04:45She's all yours now.
01:04:46Her little deal with dad is mute, and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lincoln, I'm gay.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:56You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about
01:05:02his own life.
01:05:07I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:14Are 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.
01:06:10Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:19Because not everyone else.
01:06:35I'm so thankful.
01:06:44I'm 25ions full stage.
01:06:47Goodbye.
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?
01:07:47You don't even know how old your daughter is.
01:08:05Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:12You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:13She'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.
01:08:37I 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.
01:08:53Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:08Ding dong, the 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.
01:09:39That would make me look insane.
01:09:41Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:46She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:47And I don't blame her.
01:09:50Well, 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?
01:10:01Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:17Hi.
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.
01:11:04Alex, hey.
01:11:10You okay?
01:11:12Hey.
01:11:14Someone call 911.
01:11:18Help.

01:11:46the doctor said that she's in critical condition they're going to operate tomorrow
01:11:52and then her chances are 50 50. Jesus her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress
01:12:01the stress that I fucking caused her and seeing me at the restaurant that couldn't help either
01:12:09I should have just left her alone it's not your fault Lakin and now Alex could she could

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
01:14:58so he's been helping out with Mulya while they can watch us over you here
01:15:01dad 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
01:15:13it's done
01:15:13I don't deserve it
01:15:16what are you talking about
01:15:19look at me Jace
01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred, why should I
01:15:23hey, Alex
01:15:24you deserve love
01:15:27it's about time you get out of your own way
01:15:31and realize that
01:15:32I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you
01:15:45Jesus
01:15:56sorry, I didn't mean to scare you
01:15:59fuck

01:16:01I thought you might need some help
01:16:04doctor said no unnecessary stress
01:16:06well then you shouldn't have shown up
01:16:09well then you shouldn't have shown up
01:16:09sorry
01:16:14thank you, but I've got it from here
01:16:17Alex
01:16:17you're recovering from surgery
01:16:19let me at least help you inside
01:16:22Malia asks about you all the time, you know
01:16:49she misses you
01:16:51everyone misses you
01:16:53my dad
01:16:55Jace
01:16:56and me
01:16:59it was wrong of me to accuse you
01:17:05of only wanting my money
01:17:06I can see that now
01:17:08I've just
01:17:09I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love
01:17:12and I've just been hurt so many times
01:17:15it's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check
01:17:18what you told me about your parents
01:17:25and how they sacrificed everything for you
01:17:27do 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
01:17:42that's love
01:17:45I've been thinking about it a lot
01:17:48about what it means to give
01:17:51without 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
01:18:02is 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
01:18:15Miss Livingston
01:18:18you are the most selfless
01:18:22independent
01:18:24strong
01:18:25and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life
01:18:30I can't stop
01:18:32it's true
01:18:34and since you clearly don't believe me
01:18:38I guess I'll just have to prove it to you
01:18:41prove it?
01:18:43how?
01:18:51is that?
01:18:54scars
01:18:54just like yours

01:19:01I wanted it to be permanent
01:19:03I love you Alex
