00:00:00Assistant position.
00:00:02I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:00:04Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:00:07What are you doing here?
00:00:09I work here.
00:00:10Must be a pity hire.
00:00:11Better than daddy find my position for me.
00:00:13Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two.
00:00:16This girl is overstepping.
00:00:18You fire her and the ward will find another CEO.
00:00:21I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:00:24I need you to stay.
00:00:25It's just a dance.
00:00:26Do not be weird about this.
00:00:28And besides, it's not like we're a jacket to each other, right?
00:00:32Right.
00:00:39I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:00:42Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:00:48It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:00:51She likes you, you know?
00:00:52She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:00:55That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:00:57The only reason why she's working for you is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.
00:01:03I can't keep lying to him.
00:01:05I think I'm falling for him.
00:01:06I hope the easier for me to stay at home for him.
00:01:16I'm following up with New York about next month, but, uh, how do you spell rapport?
00:01:43R-A-P-P-O-R-T comes from the French, rapport 2, bring back, as in, je rapport ses plats à la cuisine, and bringing these dishes back to the kitchen.
00:01:54Well, you can bring that little attitude of yours back there as well.
00:01:59I didn't realize they taught French at waitress school.
00:02:02I went to UC Berkeley. Heard of it?
00:02:05That's where you went.
00:02:10I'll be right back, gentlemen.
00:02:13That's R-A-P-P-O-R-T.
00:02:17Yeah. I got it.
00:02:19Here comes the smart mouth again.
00:02:22You'd think a hospitality major would be a little bit more hospitable.
00:02:26For your information, I studied business. Just graduated.
00:02:29Congrats on the degree. I can see things are really working out for you here.
00:02:34At least I know how to spell.
00:02:35Excuse me. I ordered this steak, medium rare, and it is medium.
00:02:42I'll be with you in just a moment.
00:02:43I think I've waited long enough.
00:02:44She's busy right now. She'll be with you when she's done here.
00:02:47I can speak for myself. Thank you.
00:02:48Daddy.
00:02:53One second, sweetheart.
00:02:55You sure about that?
00:02:56Seems like you got a little bit too much on your plate here.
00:02:58Alia, oh my God. Sweetheart.
00:03:07Sweetheart, hey. Dad, where are our pills?
00:03:08Here.
00:03:09Hey, come here.
00:03:10Lay her down.
00:03:12I got you. Daddy's here. Hey, Alia.
00:03:13We need to elevate her legs and increase blood flow to the brain.
00:03:16It's okay.
00:03:16Give her some room to breathe.
00:03:17She's my daughter. I know what's best for her.
00:03:19Clearly not, or you wouldn't be raising her voice right now.
00:03:22Now elevate her legs.
00:03:23I'm calling 911.
00:03:24Honey, hey. Okay, sit up.
00:03:31Here. It's okay.
00:03:33Take this.
00:03:36Little sips, okay, honey?
00:03:38We're good. Thanks.
00:03:42Honey, think you can stand up?
00:03:44Slow, nice and slow.
00:03:46I got you.
00:03:47Look at me.
00:03:49You okay?
00:03:50I'm taking you to see Dr. Schaffer right now to get you checked out.
00:03:53No, I'm fine.
00:03:53No buts, okay?
00:03:55Come on.
00:03:56Dad, can you take care of the bill?
00:03:58No.
00:04:09Please excuse my son.
00:04:12What he meant was, thank you.
00:04:14Alex.
00:04:15And it's all right.
00:04:17It was a stressful situation.
00:04:18Yeah, how do you, uh, know how to handle that, huh?
00:04:22Sometimes I faint when I get stressed out.
00:04:25Heart defect.
00:04:26I was born with it.
00:04:28Learned how to take care of myself over the years.
00:04:30Well, you shouldn't be working as a waitress with a condition like that.
00:04:32You know, running around all day.
00:04:35Student loans and a looming surgery I can't even begin to afford don't just pay for themselves.
00:04:41Oh, my God.
00:04:47You know, there's an opening at my office.
00:04:50Less footwork, better pay.
00:04:52Why don't you come and see me?
00:04:55Monday morning, all right?
00:04:56We'll have a chat.
00:04:589 a.m.
00:04:59And don't be late.
00:05:12Yeah, absolutely.
00:05:13I'm getting in the elevator.
00:05:14Let me call you right back.
00:05:15Okay.
00:05:27You.
00:05:27What are you doing here?
00:05:31I work here.
00:05:33I didn't realize the cafeteria was hiring.
00:05:36Mr. Blanford said he had a job for me.
00:05:38Must be a pity hire.
00:05:39Better than Daddy buying my position for me.
00:05:43You know, you're a lot more charming in an apron, waitress.
00:05:50Your floor, by the way.
00:05:51Okay.
00:05:57You know what to do.
00:06:06Yeah.
00:06:07Well.
00:06:09I gotta go now.
00:06:11All right.
00:06:14Hello again, Alex.
00:06:16So I'll cut right to it.
00:06:18I'd like to offer you an executive assistant position.
00:06:23I need someone to rein in our interim CEO so that he can become the leader this company needs.
00:06:28So, keep him out of trouble?
00:06:31No, he's just overwhelmed.
00:06:34And his ex, Camilla, isn't helping.
00:06:36I need you to keep her far away from him.
00:06:39Sir, I appreciate the offer.
00:06:42I do.
00:06:42But I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:06:46Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:06:49I could use someone like you.
00:06:51You know, you're smart.
00:06:54You're good and under pressure.
00:06:55And if you don't tell him the real reason why I hired you, I'll handle all those medical bills of yours.
00:07:03What do you say?
00:07:06I say, when do I start?
00:07:10Right now.
00:07:15Hmm.
00:07:18Alex, meet Lakin Blanford, the interim CEO of Blanford Corporation.
00:07:23And you're a new boss.
00:07:26Her?
00:07:27Are you joking?
00:07:28I certainly am not.
00:07:30I'm still CEO for now.
00:07:32You do as I say.
00:07:44Welcome aboard.
00:07:49Hmm.
00:07:51Let's get started.
00:07:53Did you bring your notepad from the restaurant?
00:08:01Coffee.
00:08:02Black.
00:08:03Every day within five minutes of my arrival.
00:08:06Lunch will be at 1 p.m. sharp.
00:08:08No fast food.
00:08:11Are you writing this down?
00:08:13I also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from Emilio's.
00:08:16Oh.
00:08:19And stay out of my personal life.
00:08:22That'll be all for now.
00:08:24I'll give you access to my work calendar later.
00:08:32That means you can go.
00:08:34Lincoln.
00:08:34I like Lucifer.
00:08:43I like Lucifer.
00:08:45His bark's worse than his bite.
00:08:47Trust me.
00:08:48I'm Jace.
00:08:50Lucifer's angelic younger brother.
00:08:52You are?
00:08:53Alex, Lincoln's new assistant.
00:08:55And, uh, it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling.
00:09:00I've said worse.
00:09:02Your secret's safe with me.
00:09:05Alex, get in here.
00:09:07We need to roll some calls to South Korea.
00:09:09You're gonna need that.
00:09:12Coming.
00:09:12We're still evaluating the Chicago hub closure.
00:09:20It's costing us.
00:09:22Labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times.
00:09:27And shifting our operations to Detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford right now.
00:09:33So what?
00:09:34We're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate?
00:09:37I need solutions faster.
00:09:39Not more excuses, people.
00:09:40We're exploring alternatives.
00:09:43Nothing definitive yet.
00:09:48Um, sorry to interrupt.
00:09:53But have you considered splitting freight between Detroit and Cleveland and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow?
00:10:01Huh.
00:10:02So what, you're now an expert in freight logistics?
00:10:05Uh, no.
00:10:07Oh, but I was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off, but Cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure.
00:10:17It wouldn't solve all of your problems, but it could keep the Detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely.
00:10:22Actually, that could work.
00:10:24Actually, that could work.
00:10:25Worth a shot.
00:10:27I mean, obviously, my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details.
00:10:32Is there anything else I should know about my business?
00:10:34Not yet.
00:10:41Uh, you heard her.
00:10:44Let's, uh, let's move on this right away.
00:10:47That'll be all.
00:10:47Alex has to go.
00:10:52Absolutely not.
00:10:53She stays.
00:10:55Look, Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two.
00:10:58Seven this year.
00:11:00This girl is overstepping.
00:11:02She'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?
00:11:14Listen, a good leader isn't threatened by his employees.
00:11:18Threatened?
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.
00:11:35What are you saying?
00:11:37You fire her and the board will find another CEO.
00:11:40No.
00:12:01Hey.
00:12:03Malia, 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?
00:12:20Malia, honey.
00:12:21Why 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.
00:12:34How 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?
00:12:50Huh.
00:12:55Alex, hang on.
00:12:56Alex, wait.
00:13:06Alex, wait.
00:13:07Alex.
00:13:11I told you to wait.
00:13:13I'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?
00:13:31I...
00:13:31I need you to stay.
00:13:35How about starting with an apology?
00:13:38I've been working my ass off all week doing everything you say, and you're still a dick to me.
00:13:44What 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...
00:13:56Alex, hang on.
00:14:08Alex.
00:14:09Hey.
00:14:10Alex.
00:14:10Hey, Alex, wait one second.
00:14:13Look, I don't know what came over me, okay?
00:14:16But I can't lose you.
00:14:19I promise from now on, I will clean up my act.
00:14:22No more verbal abuse?
00:14:23I didn't...
00:14:24Fine.
00:14:28No more.
00:14:29And no more calling me waitress.
00:14:31It's Miss Livingston or Alex.
00:14:33Got it.
00:14:36And you said something about doubling my salary.
00:14:39Stick around for a few more months, and then we'll talk, okay?
00:14:46You won't regret it.
00:14:48Wanna bet?
00:14:49Huh.
00:14:54Sorry I'm late.
00:15:17Traffic was hell.
00:15:18A 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.
00:15:41We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:43Not until after I get bored of approval, huh?
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.
00:16:00It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:16:06Malia, honey, you and I talked about this, right?
00:16:09Your mother and I love you very much.
00:16:12It's just...
00:16:14It'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.
00:16:47You can tell that it's alright.
00:16:50It's alright.
00:16:52It's alright.
00:16:56Lakin, are you listening to me?
00:16:59Uh, sorry.
00:17:01As 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.
00:17:13I gotta 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 are getting along better?
00:17:35Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:40So, that little argument you guys had the other day, what was that?
00:17:42A lover's quarrel?
00:17:43Look who's blushing.
00:17:48I 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.
00:18:00Lakin.
00:18:02So 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.
00:18:10You needed me for something?
00:18:11The company's hosting a charity fundraiser tomorrow night, and I need you to go with me.
00:18:19You need a date?
00:18:22No, uh, what I need is my assistant close by.
00:18:26So, if you have any plans, just go ahead and cancel them.
00:18:31And here.
00:18:32Take my card and buy yourself a dress this afternoon.
00:18:36Try to keep it under $10,000, all right?
00:18:37No problem.
00:18:39I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.
00:18:45Got it.
00:18:46Under $10,000.
00:18:49Oh.
00:18:50And seeing as I'm buying,
00:18:53I like red.
00:18:54Okay.
00:19:01Bye.
00:19:06Bye.
00:19:23Bye.
00:19:23Bye.
00:19:54I thought I said I like red.
00:20:04Did you?
00:20:06Oops.
00:20:07Must have slipped my mind.
00:20:08Looks like we're almost there.
00:20:24Remember, 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.
00:21:27So, Miss Livingston.
00:21:38I 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?
00:21:49I 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.
00:22:01It'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.
00:22:19Hey.
00:22:23Alex.
00:22:26I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:29I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:37I'll be right back.
00:22:38Look at you.
00:22:47You look stunning.
00:22:49Let's see the dress.
00:22:53Let's get to turn you into me straight.
00:22:55Picked it out just for you.
00:22:56It's perfect.
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:58Hey, 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.
00:23:27Dean?
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.
00:24:15So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:18Jace?
00:24:21Of 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.
00:24:30Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:31I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's, you know.
00:24:43He'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.
00:25:02It'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.
00:25:30Hmm.
00:25:31They're rarely touching.
00:25:37Lincoln.
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 Darren finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34I like it.
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.
00:26:43I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:51Who's this?
00:26:53No one.
00:26:54Just my assistant.
00:26:57Alex.
00:26:58Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:00As I was saying, the transit times in New York.
00:27:04Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:07Don't be a poor.
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 him, do you?
00:27:28What are you doing?
00:27:30Are you drunk?
00:27:31The whole office is here.
00:27:32We never have any time together.
00:27:33And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:27:35We'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 old time's sake.
00:28:00One dance.
00:28:16Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:25This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Max Lincoln.
00:28:35So tense.
00:28:37I could fix that, you know.
00:28:38What do you want?
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?
00:28:48Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:51Malia's getting older.
00:28:52Malia's getting older.
00:28:54It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.
00:28:59We should be a family.
00:29:01We tried.
00:29:02And failed miserably.
00:29:05I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla, don't.
00:29:11Kiss me.
00:29:13If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:20Stop.
00:29:21Jesus.
00:29:24Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:28Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me.
00:29:32You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:34Because 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?
00:29:44Never.
00:29:46Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:30:04Not having any fun?
00:30:20Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:21It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:31And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:35And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:40So it's the last call, right?
00:30:41I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
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.
00:31:07Arturo.
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.
00:31:30Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:31:34What, my title not good enough for you?
00:31:36Charm your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:38CEO this week, chairman the next.
00:31:40Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.
00:31:43What do you care anyway?
00:31:44I thought you weren't attracted to me.
00:31:46I'm not.
00:31:48Oh, yeah?
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:51Liar.
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.
00:32:31Now get the hell over here.
00:32:33Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:32:47Fuck me.
00:33:03I won't believe you.
00:33:06I won't know what.
00:33:06I can't let this go too late.
00:33:08You're trying to wonder what he'll lose.
00:33:13Don't let this go too late.
00:33:17You're able to die.
00:33:19I'll have to be dead.
00:33:20Anything you want?
00:33:22I won't be dead.
00:33:25I'll be dead.
00:33:29I'll be dead.
00:33:30You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no.
00:33:53Right. No.
00:33:55Of course not.
00:33:58Well...
00:33:59I guess, I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:19Morning.
00:34:21Morning.
00:34:30I 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. Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:39Me. Dad.
00:34:41But I've seen how he is with Malia, and...
00:34:44He'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.
00:34:55Look, 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.
00:35:03Took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did,
00:35:05Oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:08Damn.
00:35:10Jesus.
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.
00:35:26How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details.
00:35:31Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:32Great.
00:35:52Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:56Dad insisted.
00:35:57Something about never getting to see Malia these days.
00:35:59I 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.
00:36:12Did 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.
00:36:28Hey, has anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm.
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:34Hehehe.
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:49Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it.
00:36:58Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:25Me neither.
00:37:28It's okay, I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:40My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:44He's right.
00:37:45It is.
00:37:46Look on the bright side, at least it's not brussel sprouts, am I right?
00:37:58That was delicious.
00:38:00Alright.
00:38:01Miss Livingston, a word.
00:38:08Uh, Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:21I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:23Really?
00:38:24It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:32You didn't plan 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.
00:38:41Wanna 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.
00:38:48Please, Daddy.
00:38:49Please.
00:38:50Works for me.
00:38:54I'll be right back.
00:39:09I'll be right back.
00:39:10Hey.
00:39:11Come on.
00:39:12Take care of that.
00:39:13Come on.
00:39:14Take care of that.
00:39:15Come on.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:17Come on.
00:39:44She likes you, you know?
00:39:55She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:58I like her, too.
00:40:03So, are we gonna figure out what happened, or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:13You're job is not in danger.
00:40:18Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:23What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:31Not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:35But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:43I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:45I want you, Alex.
00:40:47That's the problem.
00:40:55What if we separate church and state?
00:41:00At work, we're professional.
00:41:04But outside of work, we're...
00:41:07Unprofessional?
00:41:08I think the light is like...
00:41:09I'm asleep walking through all of my problems, I know.
00:41:14All of my problems, I know.
00:41:16I can't make it through.
00:41:20Every night it's the same.
00:41:22I keep running fast, left and right.
00:41:25Wondering where my head's gone now.
00:41:28I'm asleep walking through all of my problems, I know.
00:41:32I'm asleep walking through all of my problems, I know.
00:41:34And I'm asleep.
00:41:35I see.
00:41:36Let's go!
00:41:37Oh, come on!
00:41:39Let's go, Malia, come on!
00:41:41Mom!
00:41:42Faster!
00:41:43Hey!
00:41:44Uh, Lakin's not here right now.
00:41:49He 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 L.A. business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:02Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be childcare.
00:42:06I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:10Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't she want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey, it's okay, Malia.
00:42:38Alex, what's going on?
00:42:40Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:41Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:44She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:46What?
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.
00:43:17I'll be back.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:28Okay, so we'll get you fed.
00:43:30I can help you with your homework.
00:43:32And by the time your dad gets back...
00:43:34Is 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.
00:44:07She 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...
00:44:47Better?
00:44:57Better?
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?
00:45:40You can talk to me.
00:45:42Believe me.
00:45:43I 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?

00:48:56i don't know if i can take it must be a monster in my life
00:49:04let me show you
00:49:16you're like the neighbors
00:49:28you know i think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:42you know i think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:56so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:01not 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 too much
00:50:22this condition these bills this scar my parents were incredible they gave up everything for me
00:50:32they drained their savings and what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try
00:50:36and make my life normal and now they're gone
00:50:41car accident when i was a senior in high school
00:50:45i begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then
00:50:50alex
00:50:50sorry way too much information
00:50:54especially 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 she told me yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:11look i've never told anybody this but
00:51:14malia 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 in modeling gigs
00:51:24i only found out before it was too late oh my god it's terrible truth is
00:51:34she never really wanted to have a baby i did i was the one who wanted us to be a happy family
00:51:42turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket
00:51:47i'm so sorry lincoln
00:51:48the only reason she wants to get back together is for the money not for me and certainly not for
00:51:57her daughter
00:51:59you know she she's always been irresponsible but this latest stunt abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:08have you thought about pursuing soul custody i want to but it's too risky i mean the courts usually
00:52:14side with the mother i i can't risk losing my daughter they 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 camilla 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 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 can't do that
00:52:45i 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

00:54:09thank 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 a saint hardly
00:54:40look if i tell you something you promise not to say anything to anyone cross my heart 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
00:55:25why because you're helping him get his together and getting paid for it seems like a win-win to me
00:55:30it won't feel like that if he finds out i'll think i'm just using him well maybe he doesn't have
00:55:35to find out jace i can't keep lying to him i think
00:55:42i think i'm falling for him
00:55:47so more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:58thanks for meeting me i 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 what do you mean by that one
00:56:18alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in l.a
00:56:21it was a work trip oh really
00:56:23she'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
00:56:40i want sole custody this is it you want to break up our family for that lying you don't want a family
00:56:50you just want my money i see right through you camilla you think i want money
00:56:54how 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
00:57:10i overheard jason her laughing about it in the break room earlier today
00:57:21what 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
00:57:30no she wouldn't do that that's not who she is if you don't believe me just ask your dad
00:57:48is it true lakin what are you doing here did you hire alex in order to keep tabs on me
00:57:54it was for your own good do not give me that father knows best routine this is a complete
00:58:03betrayal of my trust your personal issues were affecting not only the business but our family
00:58:08that is absurd this has nothing to do with the company your inability to cut camilla from your
00:58:13life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader as it does the way you close yourself
00:58:19off from any connection romantic or so what i i can't be ceo if i don't open my heart
00:58:24that is bullshit my love life is none of your business but the well-being of my granddaughter still is
00:58:33alex is a smart girl with a good heart she cares about malia and she challenges you she's fired thanks to you
00:58:54what are you doing here
00:59:08we need to talk yeah you want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're
00:59:16getting back together is that why you haven't gotten custody of malia because you still love her
00:59:23god i'm so stupid were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad
00:59:27god alex i trusted you i i told you things that i've never even told my family

01:03:12Let's go.
01:03:42Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:53I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:05Really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:11The second cabinet to the left.
01:04:22Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:26Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:29We were just fucking, and now we're not.
01:04:32I'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...
01:05:15Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:24Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:42But you're always flirting with her, Al.
01:05:44I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:45She'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.
01:06:02And why should I?
01:06:05Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:11Look, it's not too late to make it right.

01:07:13Call her.
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.
01:08:12You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:14She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:15I can't.
01:08:16I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:18Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:20Good fucking riddance.
01:08:32I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:35It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:38I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?
01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:49Congrats, bro.
01:08:54Let'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 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'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.
01:09:35And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:39It would make me look insane.
01:09:42Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:46She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:49And I don't blame her.
01:09:51Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:58She's working here again?
01:10:02Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:09Hi.
01:10:20Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:33Uh, what are you doing here?
01:10:36Uh, Jace brought me.
01:10:39To celebrate.
01:10:41I want 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, I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:05Okay.
01:11:05Okay.
01:11:05Okay.
01:11:09She jejj.
01:11:16Someone call 9-1-1!
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
01:11:46the doctor said that she's in critical condition,
01:11:52they're going to operate tomorrow,
01:11:53and then 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 should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lincoln.
01:12:13And now Alex could...
01:12:17She could...
01:12:17Hey, stop.
01:12:19Don't talk like that.
01:12:40I had Lincoln.
01:12:43Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:46Jesus Christ.
01:12:48I was so worried.
01:12:49I 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?
01:13:05I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:08Because you feel guilty.
01:13:11This is what you do.
01:13:13You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:16No.
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.
01:13:30I'd like you to go.
01:13:32Oh, my God.
01:14:02Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:21It's good to see you awake.
01:14:24You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:29I got you something.
01:14:32This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:53It was Dad.
01:14:54You feel horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Mulya while they can watch us over you here.
01:15:02Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:05Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:08He shouldn't have.
01:15:10You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:12Dad was good for it.
01:15:13It's done.
01:15:13I don't deserve it.
01:15:18What are you talking about?
01:15:20Look at me, Jace.
01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:15:23Why should I...
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:26You deserve love.
01:15:30It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:32Jesus.
01:15:52Jesus.
01:15:56Sorry, I 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.
01:16:08Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:13I'm sorry.
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.
01:16:47Malia 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.
01:17:07I 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.
01:17:20What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you, do you
01:17:28really 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.
01:17:45I've been thinking about it a lot, about what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:53I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:58But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me,
01:18:02is that supporting someone, it's not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:11It is simply because you love them.
01:18:15Miss 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.
01:18:34And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it? How?
01:18:52Is that...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:01I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:04I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:16Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:21Please.
01:19:25I love you, too.
01:19:34What are you doing next week?
01:19:55I want to take you to a party.
01:19:57Another gala?
01:20:01Something like that.
01:20:04And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:07Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:10Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:21Happy birthday to you.
01:20:26What did you wish for?
01:20:34A new mommy.
01:20:39One 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.
01:20:56I love you.
01:20:58I love you.
01:21:10I love you.
01:21:15I love you.
01:21:17The sky's going black, so come with us, don't hold back
01:21:25The sky's going black, so come with us, don't hold back
