00:08:12i also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from amelio's
00:08:16oh
00:08:18and stay out of my personal life
00:08:21that'll be all for now
00:08:24i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:26that means you can go
00:08:34lakin
00:08:42i don't like lucifer
00:08:44his bark's worse than his bite
00:08:47trust me
00:08:47i'm jace
00:08:49lucifer's angelic younger brother
00:08:52you are
00:08:53alex lakin'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 your secret's safe with me
00:09:03alex
00:09:06get in here
00:09:07we need to roll some calls to south korea
00:09:09you're gonna need that
00:09:11coming
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
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
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
00:10:00so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:04uh
00:10:06no
00:10:07but
00:10:08i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while i could be off but cleveland's underutilized
00:10:14and 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
00:10:24worth 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
00:10:34uh
00:10:42you heard her
00:10:44let's uh let's move on this right away
00:10:46that'll be all
00:10:47alex has to go
00:10:52absolutely 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
00:11:01she's jumping on executive leadership calls
00:11:04yes she was right
00:11:05but she is undermining me in front of my team
00:11:07how 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
00:11:18i am not threatened by her
00:11:20but 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
00:11:29you have to keep alex
00:11:33what are you saying
00:11:36you fire her and the board will find another ceo

00:21:11So, Miss Livingston.
00:21:38Listen, I 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 man.
00:22:00I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.
00:22:03My parents were 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 you and me straight.
00:22:55Picked it out just for you.
00:22:56It's perfect.
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:23:18For 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.
00:23:31Sure, I 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.
00:23:56And besides,
00:23:57it'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?
00:24:19Chase?
00:24:20Of course not.
00:24:22That was nothing.
00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:25If I didn't know you and my brother, I would say you sound jealous.
00:24:29Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:30I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:35Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's, you know.
00:24:41He's what?
00:24:43You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind.
00:24:51So, 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.
00:25:12It's unprofessional.
00:25:17What?
00:25:18This?
00:25:18This 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.
00:25:30Ooh.
00:25:31They'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?
00:25:56Well, 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.
00:26:20I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:20Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34Hi, Lincoln.
00:26:36What 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?
00:26:53No one.
00:26:54Just my assistant.
00:26:57Alex.
00:26:58Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:00As I was saying, the transit times in New York, I really...
00:27:05Oh, come 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.
00:28:33Max Lincoln, so 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.
00:29:36Let 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.
00:29:49Right now.
00:30:06I'm not having any fun.
00:30:20Let'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.
00:30:34And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:40So it's the 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.
00:30:59It's okay.
00:31:04Arturo.
00:31:09Took Miss Livingston home.
00:31:10You're being incredibly rude.
00:31:12You know that?
00:31:13You'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?
00:31:50Yeah.
00:31:51Liar.
00:31:52I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:16Yeah, well, there's a lot you don't know about me.
00:32:18Yeah.
00:32:18That 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.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:32:47Fuck me.
00:32:48Fuck me.
00:33:03I didn't have to wait.
00:33:05I don't want to wait.
00:33:06I can't let this go too late.
00:33:07I don't want the bloody hell to lose.
00:33:13D phenomenon starts.
00:33:14It's got two eyes!
00:33:44You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no.
00:33:53Right. No.
00:33:56Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:14Morning.
00:34:22Morning.
00:34:31I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.
00:34:36It's not your fault. Lincoln barely gives a shit about his own family, you know? Me. Dad.
00:34:41But I've seen how he is with Malia, and...
00:34:44She's a soft spot.
00:34:46Lincoln's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:49Like, he needs therapy about it. Camila really messed him up.
00:34:54Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:57That bitch is a gold digger.
00:34:59I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.
00:35:02Took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did,
00:35:05oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:08Jesus.
00:35:12Yeah.
00:35:13Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:22Look, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:25How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven? I'll text you the details.
00:35:29Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:31Great.
00:35:32Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:36Dad insisted.
00:35:37Something about never getting to see Malia these days.
00:35:39I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.
00:35:41You know, like, normal business partners and not-
00:35:44Family members?
00:35:45Exactly.
00:35:46can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner dad insisted something about never
00:35:58getting to see Malia these days I wanted to have the gala postmortem at the office
00:36:03you know like normal business partners and not family members exactly

00:40:23what do you want me to say Alex I
00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant not with the board watching my every move
00:40:33but I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever
00:40:41I thought I did something wrong
00:40:44I want you Alex that's the problem
00:40:49what if we separate church and state at work we're professional but outside of work we're unprofessional
00:41:09I can't get involved with my friends I think the light is like I'm sleepwalking through

00:41:17I can't make it through

00:42:10Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't she want to be with me?
00:42:23Hey, hey, it's okay, Malia.
00:42:32Alex, what's going on?
00:42:40Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:41Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:44She said she can't take care of her 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.
00:43:05I 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 put the first flight out this evening.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay. 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.
00:43:41Has 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!
00:44:15I mean, shoot!
00:44:16Shoot!
00:44:20Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:42I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:05How would we order some pizza?
00:45:30Malia?
00:45:30Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:40You 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.
00:45:56Just like you.
00:45:57Really?
00:45:57Really?
00:46:00I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:02Who is it?
00:46:07It's me.
00:46:10Who is it?
00:46:11It's me.
00:46:24It's me.
00:46:25lincoln hi hi uh can i see malia
00:46:55daddy shh it's okay sweetie i'm right here go back to sleep oh stay
00:47:16i can sleep on the couch no you stay too
00:47:23it's all right with me
00:47:28oh
00:47:30oh
00:47:34oh
00:47:38Where do you think you're going?
00:48:05To find Malia.
00:48:06I 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.
00:48:23Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:35It wasn't a problem.
00:48:40Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:44Let me make it up to you.
00:48:50How are you going to do that?
00:48:55How are you going to do that?
00:48:59I don't know if I can take it.
00:49:01Must be a monster in my life.
00:49:04Let me show you.
00:49:06It feels like I've been faking.
00:49:08Think there's a stranger here instead.
00:49:11That you haven't.
00:49:13That night.
00:49:15You're like the neighbors.
00:49:28You know, I think more people should try coworkers with benefits.
00:49:53So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:06Not really.
00:50:12Sorry.
00:50:13I was just curious.
00:50:15Congenital heart defect.
00:50:16You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:17It's too much.
00:50:18Too much?
00:50:19This condition.
00:50:20These bills.
00:50:21This scar.
00:50:22My parents were incredible.
00:50:23They gave up everything for me.
00:50:24They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:38And now they're gone.
00:50:41Car accident.
00:50:42When I was a senior.
00:50:43In high school.
00:50:44I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:49Alex.
00:50:50Sorry.
00:50:51Way too much information.
00:50:53Especially 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.
00:51:05Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:10Look, I've never told anybody this, but Malia was more with her defect because Camilla, she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out on modeling gigs.
00:51:25I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:28Oh my god.
00:51:30It's terrible.
00:51:32Truth is, she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:36I did.
00:51:37I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:41Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:44I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:49And the only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.
00:51:55Not for me.
00:51:56And certainly not for her daughter.
00:51:58You know, she's always been irresponsible.
00:52:02But this latest stunt, abandoning her daughter like that, it's...
00:52:06Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:10I want to, but it's too risky.
00:52:13I mean, the courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:15I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:17They don't always.
00:52:22Malia 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.
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.
00:52:52Maybe 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.
00:53:07I will talk to her this week.
00:53:22Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:27Greedy?
00:53:28I meant breakfast.
00:53:31You can cook?
00:53:33Yes, I can.
00:53:35For the right company.
00:53:45Ta-da!
00:53:46I should have known someone near Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:53:56Shit, fuck.
00:53:57I'm sorry.
00:53:58I didn't mean to.
00:53:59It's okay.
00:54:00Really, it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:54:11Thank you again for everything.
00:54:13I know this wasn't part of the job description.
00:54:15And 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.
00:54:27He told you all of that?
00:54:28What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:30A saint?
00:54:31Hardly.
00:54:32Look.
00:54:33If I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:35Cross my heart, hope to die.
00:54:37Your dad is paying me to do this.
00:54:38To help Lakin.
00:54:39That's what a job is.
00:54:40You work for the company.
00:54:41You know that, right?
00:54:42You don't understand.
00:54:43Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck
00:54:50it out as Lakin's assistant.
00:54:52He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:54:53By any means necessary, he said.
00:55:03Now that Lakin and I are-
00:55:16Fucking like rabbits?
00:55:18Coworkers with benefits, excuse me?
00:55:20It just seems wrong.
00:55:22I do.
00:55:23not to tell him why cuz you're helping him get his shit together and getting
00:55:28paid for it seems like a win-win to me I won't feel like that if he finds out
00:55:32I'll think I'm just using him well 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 so more than
00:55:48co-workers with benefits thanks for meeting me I wanted to talk to you about
00:56:02your new girlfriend what I know all about your little sleepover you know I'd
00:56:09appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our
00:56:12daughter's life especially that one what do you mean by that one Alex
00:56:18actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in LA it was a work trip
00:56:22oh really
00:56:32she's already proven me 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
00:56:45you want to break up our family for that lie you don't want a family you just want
00:56:51my money I see right through you Camilla think I want money how much do you know
00:56:57about your little assistant what do you mean I hate to be the one to tell you
00:57:06this that girl is using you Lakin I overheard Jason her laughing about it in
00:57:18the break room earlier today what do you mean she's using me the only reason why
00:57:25she's working for you it's because your dad promised to pay her medical bills she
00:57:30kept you away from me no she wouldn't do that that's not who she is if you don't
00:57:37believe me just ask your dad
00:57:47is it true Lakin what are you doing here did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs

00:58:07only the business but our family that is absurd this has nothing to do with the
00:58:11company your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into
00:58:15question your abilities as a leader as it does the way you close yourself off from

01:01:52mourn
01:01:53I can't waste any more time on Lincoln
01:01:54I was so stupid thinking you actually cared about me
01:01:59I was so stupid thinking you actually cared about me
01:02:14what's wrong with me
01:02:16nothing

01:02:20I'm sorry

01:02:41I will
01:02:49I promise
01:02:55I know
01:03:56You really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12So I can cap it 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.
01:04:29We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:30I'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.
01:04:44What do you care?
01:04:45She's all yours now.
01:04:47Her little deal with dad is mute.
01:04:49And 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,
01:05:00you 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...
01:05:16Are you good?
01:05:19I'm good.
01:05:37Suddenly, 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.
01:05:49Lincoln, she 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?
01:06:05Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:11Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:19No.
01:06:29No.
01:06:33No.
01:06:40Wait.
01:06:41No.
01:06:41Okay.
01:06:42Bye.
01:06:42Bye.
01:06:44Bye.
01:07:14Fuck 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.
01:07:45You 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?
01:08:14She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:15I can't.
01:08:16I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:18Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:20Good fucking riddance.
01:08:33I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:35Only 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?
01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:49Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Let's celebrate.
01:09:02Come on.
01:09:08We should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong.
01:09:10Ding dong.
01:09:10The witch agreed to settle.
01:09:13Yeah.
01:09:13And now Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care enough
01:09:18about her to fight for custody.
01:09:19On 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 that 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.
01:09:42Well, insane or romantic?
01:09:46She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:48And 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.
01:10:18I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln.
01:10:33What are you doing here?
01:10:35Uh, Jace brought me to celebrate.
01:10:41I won full custody.
01:10:44Congratulations.
01:10:45Yeah, 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, um, I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:05Oh, shit.
01:11:10You okay?
01:11:12You okay?
01:11:13You okay?
01:11:14Woo!
01:11:16Someone call 911!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20Any update?
01:11:44There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but...
01:11:47The doctor said that she's in critical condition.
01:11:52They're gonna operate tomorrow.
01:11:54And that her chances are 50-50.
01:11:57Jesus.
01:11:59Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:03The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:07And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either.
01:12:10I, 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.
01:12:41Hey, Lincoln.
01:12:41Oh, my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:46Jesus Christ.
01:12:48I was so worried, I thought...
01:12:50I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:57I'm fine.
01:13:00You should leave.
01:13:02What?
01:13:03What 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.
01:13:27You are not a burden.
01:13:28I don't think that.
01:13:31I'd like you to go.
01:13:32I don't want you to go.
01:13:32I don't want you to go.
01:13:33I don't want you to go.
01:13:33I don't want you to go.
01:13:34I don't want you to go.
01:13:34I don't want you to go.
01:13:35I don't want you to go.
01:13:35I don't want you to go.
01:13:36I don't want you to go.
01:13:36I don't want you to go.
01:13:37I don't want you to go.
01:13:37I don't want you to go.
01:13:38I don't want you to go.
01:13:38I don't want you to go.
01:13:39I don't want you to go.
01:13:39I don't want you to go.
01:13:40I don't want you to go.
01:13:41I don't want you to go.
01:13:41I don't want you to go.
01:13:42I don't want you to go.
01:13:42I don't want you to go.
01:13:43I don't want you to go.
01:13:44I don't want you to go.
01:13:45Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:15It's good to see you awake.
01:14:22You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:29I got you something.
01:14:38This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:53It was Dad.
01:14:55You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so 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.
01:15:04Fancy 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.
01:15:15I don't deserve it.
01:15:17What are you talking about?
01:15:19Look at me, Jace.
01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:15:22Why should I?
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:25You deserve love.
01:15:30It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:36I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:46Fuck.
01:15:47I'm sorry, I just...
01:15:49I thought you might need some help.
01:15:51The doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:00Then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:05I'm sorry, but I've got it from here.
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, you're recovering from surgery.
01:16:21Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:37Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:50She misses you.
01:16:52Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:03It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:06I can see that now.
01:17:09I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:13And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:15It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:23What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you,
01:17:28do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:33They 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.
01:17:45I've been thinking about it a lot, about 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.
01:18:10It is simply because you love them.
01:18:17Miss Livingston,
01:18:19you are the most selfless, independent, strong,
01:18:26and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:30I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:36And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it?
01:18:43How?
01:18:44Is that a...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:01I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:06I love you, Alex.
01:19:07I 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.
01:19:37What are you doing next week?
01:19:56I want to take you to a party.
01:19:59Another gala?
01:20:02Something like that.
01:20:04And you know the guest department very well.
01:20:07Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:16Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:22Happy birthday to you.
01:20:29What did you wish for?
01:20:36A 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...
01:20:50I think you'll like it.
01:20:52I have one, too.
01:20:56Just like you.
01:20:56Don't hold back.
01:20:58Don't hold back.
01:21:01I hear you.
01:21:02Yeah.
01:21:03You know how I got you?
01:21:03Just like you.
01:21:04I'm Dr.
01:21:05You know how you want me to do it.
01:21:05I know how you want it.
01:21:06I know how you want it so far.
01:21:06The sky is going black, so come with us
01:21:12Don't hold back tonight
01:21:16The sky is going black, so come with us
01:21:23Don't hold back tonight
01:21:26The sky is going black
