00:00:50She likes you, you know, she's not normally so comfortable with strangers
00:00:54That 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

00:06:05i got to go now all right
00:06:11hello again alex so i'll cut right to it i'd like to offer you an executive assistant position
00:06:22i 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 no he's just overwhelmed and his ex camilla isn't helping i need you to keep
00:06:37her far away from him sir i appreciate the offer i do but i'm not interested in being someone's babysitter
00:06:45think of yourself as a fixer i could use someone like you you know you're smart
00:06:54you're good under pressure and if you don't tell him the real reason why i hired you i'll handle all
00:07:00those medical bills of yours what do you say i say when do i start right now
00:07:18alex meet lakin blanford the interim ceo of blanford corporation
00:07:23and your new boss her are you joking i certainly am not i'm still ceo for now you do as i say
00:07:44welcome aboard
00:07:45let's get started did you bring your notepad from the restaurant
00:08:01coffee black every day within five minutes of my arrival lunch will be at 1pm sharp no fast food
00:08:09are you writing this down i also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from amelio's
00:08:17oh and stay out of my personal life that'll be all for now i'll give you access to my work calendar
00:08:26that means you can go
00:08:41lakin like lucifer
00:08:45his bark's worse than his bite trust me i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are alex
00:08:54lincoln's new assistant and uh it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional
00:08:59name calling i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:05alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea you're gonna need that coming
00:09:16we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure it's costing us labor shortages
00:09:23at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times and shifting our operations
00:09:29to detroit might create bottlenecks we we just can't afford right now so what we're just going
00:09:34to bleed cash while you evaluate i need solutions faster not more excuses people we're exploring
00:09:42alternatives nothing definitive yet um sorry to interrupt
00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail
00:09:58contracts to offset the overflow so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics uh
00:10:06no but 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 it wouldn't solve all of your
00:10:18problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely actually that could work
00:10:25worth a shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:31is there anything else i should know about my business not yet
00:10:41uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all
00:10:50alex has to go absolutely not she stays look dad i understand that i've been through an assistant or two
00:10:58seven this year this girl is overstepping she's jumping on executive leadership calls yes she
00:11:04was right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my position
00:11:09with the board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job like a good leader isn't threatened
00:11:16by his employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control well
00:11:23the board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive
00:11:28and weak you have to keep alex what are you saying you fire her and the board will find another ceo
00:11:53hey malia right how are you feeling better thank you for helping me the other day of course you know

00:25:48i
00:25:49i
00:25:50i
00:25:51i
00:25:53Well, Mr. Harris was just saying
00:25:58that 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.
00:26:23Team there and finalizing everything,
00:26:32making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34Hi, Lincoln.
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 is in New York.
00:27:04Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:06Don'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 them, 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...
00:27:45I 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.
00:27:57One dance.
00:28:17Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:27This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33I'm actually getting so 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?
00:28:48Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:52Malia's getting older.
00:28:53It'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.
00:29:04I 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,
00:29:14I'll leave you alone.
00:29:15Stop.
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?
00:29:35Because you know I will.
00:29:36Let me make something very clear to you.
00:29:41We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:29:43You hear me?
00:29:44Ever.
00:29:45Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:29:48Right now.
00:29:49You're not having any fun?
00:30:13No.
00:30:13Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:28This is my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:31And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:35And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:40So it's last call, right?
00:30:41I 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.
00:30:58It's okay.
00:31:07Arturo.
00:31:09Took Miss Livingston home.
00:31:10You're being incredibly rude.
00:31:12You know that?
00:31:12You're getting wasted at a company party.
00:31:15It's totally inappropriate.
00:31:18Don't you inappropriate me.
00:31:19Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.
00:31:21You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:22Okay, first of all, she's my ex.
00:31:25And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:27I'm a CEO.
00:31:29Interrupt.
00:31:30Right.
00:31:31Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:31:34What, my title not good enough for you?
00:31:36Charming your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:37You're CEO 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.
00:31:45I'm not.
00:31:47Oh, yeah?
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:51Liar.
00:31:52I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:15Yeah, well, there's a lot.
00:32:17You don't know about me.
00:32:26That cost $8,000.
00:32:28Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:30I got to get the hell out of here.
00:32:39Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:32:47I don't want to run away, we can't let this go to waste.
00:33:08I don't want to run away, we can't let this go to waste.
00:33:33You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no.
00:33:52Right. No.
00:33:55Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:03I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:33You're a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.
00:34:36It's not your fault.
00:34:37Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:39Me, Dad.
00:34:41But I've seen how he is with Malia, and...
00:34:44He's a soft spot.
00:34:45I mean, Laken'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.
00:35:00I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.
00:35:03Took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did,
00:35:05ooh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus.
00:35:11Yeah.
00:35:12Maybe 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?
00:35:28I'll text you the details.
00:35:31Yeah.
00:35:31I'm down.
00:35:32Great.
00:35:52Can'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.
00:35:59I 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.
00:36:27Hey, has anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm.
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:33Hee hee hee.
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:49James.
00:36:55Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:58Lincoln!
00:36:58Lincoln!
00:36:58Uh...
00:37:00I didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:25Me neither.
00:37:25It's okay.
00:37:37I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:40My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:43He's right.
00:37:45It is.
00:37:47Look on the bright side.
00:37:48At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:59That was delicious.
00:38:00All right.
00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:08Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:20Alex, I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:24Really?
00:38:25It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:32You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lakin some time alone.
00:38:37Thank you, Jace.
00:38:38You're very welcome.
00:38:39Jace, don't.
00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:47But I want to hang out with Alex.
00:38:49Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:56Works for me.
00:38:57I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:14Thank you, man.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:17Come on.
00:39:17Come on.
00:39:27She likes you, you know?
00:39:54She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:59I like her, too.
00:40:07So, are we gonna figure out what happened?
00:40:11Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:16Your job is not in danger.
00:40:20Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:24What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I...
00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:31Not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:34I...
00:40:34But I also can't accept the fact that...
00:40:39Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:43I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:46I want you, Alex.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:49What if we separate church and state?
00:41:01At work, we're professional.
00:41:05But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:09I think the light is light.
00:41:11I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems and all.
00:41:17I can't make it through.
00:41:21Every night is the same.
00:41:23I keep running fast, left and right.
00:41:26Wondering where my head's going now.
00:41:29I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems and all.
00:41:35I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems and all.
00:41:41Let's go, Malia, come on.
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster!
00:41:47Hey, uh...
00:41:48Lincoln's not here right now.
00:41:50He just landed in New York.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:53But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:57Going to LA.
00:41:59Business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:02Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be child care.
00:42:05I'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, it's okay, Malia.
00:42:29Alex, 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.
00:42:46What?
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,
00:43:01Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:02Everything is fine.
00:43:03I love you.
00:43:04I love you, too.
00:43:10I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:13So much for that family time she went.
00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay. Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:20Okay, so, we'll get you fed.
00:43:30I can help you with your homework,
00:43:31and by the time your dad gets back,
00:43:34send you a 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,
00:43:55so 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
00:44:10to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit!
00:44:14I mean, shoot!
00:44:34Oh, my God, Malia!
00:44:35I'm sorry.
00:44:42I 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?
00:45:40You 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.
00:45:55Just like you.
00:45:57Really?
00:45:57Really?
00:45:57I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:02I didn't know anyone was like me.

00:48:44let me make it up to you
00:48:51how are you gonna do that
00:48:56i don't know if i can take it must be a monster in my life
00:49:03let me show you
00:49:04lately feels like i've been faking think there's a stranger here and
00:49:10you're like the neighbors
00:49:28you know i think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:51you know i think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:50:00so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:08not really
00:50:12sorry i um i was just curious
00:50:18congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much
00:50:21too much
00:50:23this condition these bills this scar my parents were incredible
00:50:30they gave up everything for me they drained their savings in what little
00:50:34life of wealth they built for themselves to try
00:50:37and 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 sorry way too much information especially from a fuck buddy you don't
00:50:55need to know my sob story
00:51:01you know that malia's heart condition is congenital
00:51:03i know she told me yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:10look 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
00:51:22or lose out modeling gigs i only found out before it was too late
00:51:28oh my god it's terrible truth is she never really wanted to
00:51:35have a baby i did i was the one who wanted us to be
00:51:40a happy family turns out she was just in it for a meal
00:51:44ticket
00:51:47i'm so sorry lincoln
00:51:50and the only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:54is for the money not for me and certainly not for a daughter
00:51:59you know she she's always been irresponsible but
00:52:02this latest stunt you know abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:08have you thought about pursuing soul custody i want to but
00:52:12it's too risky i mean the courts usually side with the mother i i can't risk losing
00:52:16my daughter they don't always
00:52:21melina 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 i think you could have a case here
00:52:36i don't know i don't want to put her through that i mean
00:52:41making her testify against her own mother i can't do that
00:52:45i know you want what's best for melia 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
00:52:58melia deserves people in her life who care about her you're right melia deserves better
00:53:07i will talk to her this week
00:53:17thank you
00:53:22seems like i owe you again
00:53:23greedy i meant breakfast
00:53:31you can cook yes i can for the right company
00:53:36i should have known someone named sugar would have such a sweet tooth
00:53:56shit fuck i'm sorry i didn't mean to
00:54:03it's okay really it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again
00:54:11thank you again for everything i know this wasn't part of the job description
00:54:16and i'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:20great not exactly
00:54:32he told you all of that what are you a miracle worker the saint hardly
00:54:40look if i tell you something you promise not to say anything to anyone
00:54:46cross 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 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
00:55:24why 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 he'll think i'm just using him well
00:55:34maybe he doesn't have to find out jace i can't keep lying to him i think
00:55:39i think i think i'm falling for him
00:55:47so more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:49thanks for meeting me
00:56:01i wanted to talk to you about your new girlfriend
00:56:03what i know all about your little sleepover you know i'd appreciate it if you told me before
00:56:11bringing another woman into our daughter's life especially that one what do you mean by that one
00:56:16alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in la it was a work trip oh really
00:56:33she's already proven to be way better at taking care of malia than you've ever been
00:56:36which is actually why i'm here enough is enough i want sole custody this is it
00:56:46you want to break up our family for that lying you don't want a family you just want my money
00:56:52i see right through you camilla you think i want money
00:56:56how 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 off
00:58:19from any connection romantic or so what i i can't be ceo if i don't open my heart that is
00:58:24bullshit 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

00:59:13oh yeah you want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together
00:59:17is that why you haven't gotten custody of malia because you still love her god i'm so stupid were

01:03:53I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, Ken, come on, man, open up.
01:04:04You really need to give me a key.
01:04:07You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:22Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:23You can'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.
01:04:47Her little deal with dad is mute, and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:52You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:17Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:24Suddenly, 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.
01:05:45She's a good person, Lakin.
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?
01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:10Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:15Call her.
01:06:45So, let's go.
01:07:11But I was so scared like she doesn't feel like playing.
01:07:13And she doesn't feel like she's trying to be.
01:07:13Fuck 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?
01:08:05Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:07You 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.
01:08:31I'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 excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:49Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on.
01:09:07We should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong.
01:09:10The witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11And now Malia has to 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?
01:09:28Maybe a certain little assistant to help you get custody.
01:09:31She 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.
01:09:49And 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?
01:10:01Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:18Hi.
01:10:19Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:31What are you doing here?
01:10:37Jace brought me to celebrate.
01:10:41I won 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'll help you.
01:10:58I...
01:10:58I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:09Okay?
01:11:09Okay?
01:11:14Woo!
01:11:15Someone call 911!
01:11:17Everyone! Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:38Any update?
01:11:40There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but...
01:11:47The doctor said that she's in critical condition,
01:11:51that they're gonna operate tomorrow,
01:11:54and that her chances are 50-50.
01:11:56Jesus.
01:11:58Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:02The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:06And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't help either.
01:12:09I should've just left her alone.
01:12:11It's not your fault, Lakin.
01:12:13And now Alex could...
01:12:15She could...
01:12:16Hey, stop.
01:12:17Don't talk like that.
01:12:19Don't talk like that.
01:12:21Oh my god, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:23Jesus Christ.
01:12:25I was so worried, I thought...
01:12:27I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:32I'm fine.
01:12:33You should leave.
01:12:35What?
01:12:36What?
01:12:37What are you talking about?
01:12:38I...
01:12:39I...
01:12:40Lakin, why are you here?
01:12:41I'm here because I care about you.
01:12:42Because...
01:12:43Because you feel guilty.
01:12:44This is what you do.
01:12:45You throw money at your problems.
01:12:46You throw money at your problems to make yourself happy.
01:12:47You're awake.
01:12:48You're awake.
01:12:49You're awake.
01:12:50Jesus Christ.
01:12:51I was so worried.
01:12:52I thought...
01:12:53I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:55I'm fine.
01:12:57I'm fine.
01:13:00You should leave.
01:13:02What?
01:13:03What are you talking about?
01:13:04I...
01:13:05Lakin, why are you here?
01:13:06I'm here because I care about you.
01:13:08Because...
01:13:09Because 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, Lakin.
01:13:22I 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.
01:13:56You are awake.
01:13:57While we're sick.
01:13:58Jager, why not?
01:13:59I'm hungry.
01:14:00So, you don't want to be hungry.
01:14:01Yes, he is just I am hungry.
01:14:06Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:09Yes, but I can't just watch the buzzer.
01:14:14No husband.
01:14:15Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:16Yes, yes, that's so beautiful.
01:14:19Any lifeday, yourлоis, you are awake.
01:14:21antigua, when yourrewl is lying with a Platzir,
01:14:24You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:30I got you something.
01:14:45This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:54It was Dad.
01:14:56You 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.
01:15:02Dad 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. It's done.
01:15:16I don't deserve it.
01:15:18What are you talking about?
01:15:20Look at me, Jace. I'm literally fucking scarred. Why should I...
01:15:24Hey, Alex.
01:15:26You deserve love.
01:15:28It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:32I'm sorry, love, man.
01:15:33I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:34Fuck.
01:15:35Jesus.
01:15:57Sorry.
01:15:58I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:59Fuck.
01:16:00I'm sorry.
01:16:01I just...
01:16:02I thought you might need some help.
01:16:04Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:07Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:13Sorry.
01:16:15Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:17Alex, you're recovering from surgery.
01:16:20Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:34Malia 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 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?
01:17:31They 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,
01:17:38they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:41That's not sacrifice.
01:17:42That's love.
01:17:46I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:49About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:53I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:58But 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.
01:18:31I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:34And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it?
01:18:43How?
01:18:52Is that...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:00I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:06I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:16Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:21Please.
01:19:21Please.
01:19:21I love you, too.
01:19:50I love you, too.
