00:07:35welcome aboard
00:07:51let's get started did you bring your notepad from the restaurant
00:07:54coffee black every day within five minutes of my arrival lunch will be at 1pm sharp no fast food
00:08:11are 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
00:08:20that'll be all for now i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:32that means you can go
00:08:41lakin like lucifer
00:08:45his bark's worse than his bite trust me
00:08:47i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are alex lincoln's new assistant and uh
00:08:56it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling
00:09:01i'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
00:09:12we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution
00:09:24centers are already slowing down operation times and shifting our operations to detroit might create
00:09:30bottlenecks we we just can't afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:36i need solutions faster not more excuses people we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:48um sorry to interrupt
00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail
00:09:58contracts to offset the overflow
00:10:00so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics uh no but i was looking over last
00:10:09quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but cleveland's underutilized and you're
00:10:14already paying for the rail infrastructure it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could
00:10:19keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely actually that could work worth a shot
00:10:26i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:32is 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

00:11:04right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my position with
00:11:09the board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job lincoln a good leader isn't threatened by
00:11:16his employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control
00:11:22well the board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look
00:11:27indecisive and weak you have to keep alex oh what are you saying you fire her and the board will find
00:11:39another ceo

00:21:42You lied to me
00:21:43Your name's not Alexandra

00:21:51I thought only HR saw that
00:21:53Oh, don't be embarrassed
00:21:56Sugar
00:21:57I think that's a very sweet name
00:21:59I'm not embarrassed
00:22:01It's just
00:22:01Private
00:22:03My parents were the only ones
00:22:07Who called me that
00:22:08I see
00:22:12I apologize
00:22:15I didn't know
00:22:16I didn't mean to upset you
00:22:19Hey
00:22:21Alex
00:22:23I mean
00:22:26I'm sorry
00:22:28I think I owe you a drink
00:22:36I'll be right back
00:22:38Look at you
00:22:46You look stunning
00:22:47Let's see the dress
00:22:50Let's get turned even me straight
00:22:55Picked it out just for you
00:22:56It's perfect
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:58For you
00:23:18Hey, bro
00:23:20Is that for me?
00:23:21Get your own drink, bro
00:23:22And maybe your own date
00:23:23While you're at it
00:23:24Dane?
00:23:28I knew it
00:23:28Uh, my guest
00:23:30You know what I mean
00:23:31Yeah, yeah, sure
00:23:31I know what you mean
00:23:32I'll take that
00:23:33I'll leave you guys to it
00:23:34It's just a dance
00:23:48Do not be weird about this
00:23:49Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:52Everyone else is dancing
00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't
00:23:54And besides
00:23:56It's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right
00:24:02So
00:24:15Something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:20Jase?
00:24:21Of course not
00:24:22That was nothing
00:24:22It didn't look like nothing
00:24:25If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous
00:24:28Don't be ridiculous
00:24:31I'm just looking out for my assistant
00:24:35Well, I doubt he's interested
00:24:39He's
00:24:39You know
00:24:40He's what?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind
00:24:49So
00:24:51You 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
00:24:58If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America
00:25:01It's important to make time for family, Lincoln
00:25:04That's none of your concern
00:25:06That's none of your concern
00:25:07Just focus on steering clear of an office romance
00:25:11Miss Livingston
00:25:12It's unprofessional
00:25:14What?
00:25:17This?
00:25:19This is just two co-workers dancing
00:25:21Right
00:25:23A totally normal boss-slash-assistant slow dance
00:25:27It's completely innocent
00:25:29Hmm
00:25:30You're barely touching
00:25:32Lakin
00:25:38Dad
00:25:41Well, some of our board members are already here
00:25:44I need you to make your rounds
00:25:46Miss Livingston?
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:56Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress
00:26:00Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln
00:26:05Thank you
00:26:07Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition
00:26:10Oh, yes
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland
00:26:13Nice work
00:26:15Yes, and we're also improving transit times
00:26:18I'll actually be in New York next week
00:26:20Team there and finalizing everything
00:26:32Making sure everything's running smoothly
00:26:34Hi, Lincoln
00:26:34What are you doing here?
00:26:37I just thought I'd stop by
00:26:38I thought you could use the moral support
00:26:40Where's Malia?
00:26:42I got a babysitter
00:26:43I think everyone knows Camilla
00:26:46Malia's mother
00:26:47Who's this?
00:26:53Uh, no one
00:26:53Just, uh, my assistant
00:26:55Alex
00:26:57Nice to meet you, Alice
00:27:00As I was saying, the transit times in New York
00:27:04Oh, come on, Lincoln
00:27:05Don't be a poor, it's a party
00:27:08No one wants to talk about business
00:27:10Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance
00:27:13Maybe later, these gentlemen are on the board
00:27:16You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:18You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:23What are you doing?
00:27:30Are you drunk?
00:27:30The whole office is here
00:27:32We never have any time together
00:27:33And there's a reason for that, Camilla
00:27:35We're not together anymore
00:27:37You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend
00:27:40Oh, come on, Lincoln
00:27:41I'm sorry if I embarrassed you
00:27:44I just
00:27:45I miss you
00:27:48And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together
00:27:51I was hoping you'd dance with me
00:27:55For old time's sake
00:27:57One dance
00:28:01Excuse me, gentlemen
00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this
00:28:25This is a work event, Camilla
00:28:32Relax, Lincoln
00:28:34So tense
00:28:35I 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?
00:28:47Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:51Malia's getting older
00:28:53It's only getting harder to take care of her
00:28:56Especially with her situation
00:28:57We should be a family
00:29:00We tried
00:29:02And failed miserably
00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla
00:29:10Don't
00:29:11Kiss me
00:29:12If you don't feel anything
00:29:14I'll leave you alone
00:29:15Stop
00:29:20Jesus
00:29:21Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that
00:29:26Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me
00:29:31You 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
00:29:40We are never getting back together, Camilla
00:29:43You hear me?
00:29:44Ever
00:29:45Now, you need to go
00:29:46But
00:29:48Right now
00:29:48Right now
00:29:49Right now
00:29:49Right now
00:29:50Right now
00:29:51Not having any fun
00:30:09Not having any fun
00:30:13Let'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
00:30:34And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender
00:30:38So that's the last call, right?
00:30:41I go up to the bar looking for this guy
00:30:43Aggy's dragging him to the bathroom
00:30:44Oh my god
00:30:46Stop
00:30:47Something funny?
00:30:52Time to go
00:30:55It's okay
00:30:59Arturo
00:31:08Took Miss Livingston home
00:31:10You're being incredibly rude, you know that
00:31:12You're getting wasted at a company party
00:31:14It's totally inappropriate
00:31:16Don't you inappropriate me
00:31:19Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole
00:31:20You made out in front of everyone
00:31:22Okay, first of all, she's my ex
00:31:24And second of all, I can do whatever I want
00:31:27I'm the CEO
00:31:28Interrupt
00:31:29Right
00:31:30Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:31:34What, my title not good enough for you?
00:31:35Charm your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:37CEO this week, chairman the next
00:31:40Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace
00:31:42What do you care anyway?
00:31:44I thought you went attracted to me
00:31:45I'm not
00:31:47Oh yeah?
00:31:49Yeah
00:31:50Liar
00:31:58Fuckin' puppets
00:32:07Didn't expect you to have tattoos
00:32:15Yeah, it was
00:32:17Yeah, it was a lot
00:32:17You don't know about me
00:32:18That cost $8,000
00:32:27Yeah, my fuckin' money
00:32:30Now get the hell over here
00:32:33Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd
00:32:43Fuck me
00:32:47Fuck you
00:32:48What am I?
00:32:49Leave us outside self-love away
00:32:50To know that we both belong
00:32:52I wanna be with you
00:32:54I wanna feel with you
00:32:56We can't let this slip away
00:32:59You know I want you to stay
00:33:01Cause I wanna be with you
00:33:03I wanna be with you
00:33:05Oh
00:33:05There are no way I can let this go to waste
00:33:08I don't want to know what it all allows
00:33:12Don't let this go to waste
00:33:15Don't let this go to waste
00:33:35You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:48Uh, no.
00:33:52Right. No.
00:33:55Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:05Morning.
00:34:21Morning.
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. Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:40Me. 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.
00:34:53Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:57That 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,
00:35:05Oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:08Yeah.
00:35:10Jesus.
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, I'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.
00:36:07Exactly.
00:36:12Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me.
00:36:21You?
00:36:22Ah, you're too tall.
00:36:24No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.
00:36:27Hey, has anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm.
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:33Hehehe.
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!
00:36:59Ah...
00:37:00Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:24Me neither.
00:37:30It's okay.
00:37:37I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:43He'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.
00:38:15Mr. 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 Lincoln some time alone.
00:38:36Thank you, Jace.
00:38:38You're very welcome.
00:38:39Jace, don't...
00:38:40Bye.
00:38:42Want to 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.
00:38:51Please.
00:38:51Please.

00:45:27look
00:45:29Malia, do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:40You can talk to me. Believe me, I understand.
00:45:46What do you mean?
00:45:51It's from surgery. I was born with a heart defect, just like you.
00:45:57Really? I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:22Who is it?
00:46:24It's me.
00:46:27Lincoln. Hi.
00:46:33Hi.
00:46:35Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:39Can I see Malia?
00:46:40I see Malia.
00:46:41I see Malia.
00:46:46I see Malia.
00:46:47I see Malia.
00:46:48I see Malia.
00:46:52I see Malia.
00:46:53I see Malia.
00:47:06Daddy, shh.
00:47:10It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here. Go back to sleep.
00:47:14Oh, stay.
00:47:18I can sleep on the couch. No.
00:47:22You stay too.
00:47:26It's alright with me.
00:47:36Where do you think you're going?
00:47:52To find Malia.
00:48:00Where do you think you're going?
00:48:04To find Malia?
00:48:06I already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:10We're all alone.
00:48:12What about work?
00:48:16Time off for good behavior.
00:48:28Thank you again for taking care of me.
00:48:32Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:38It wasn't a problem.
00:48:42Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:48Let me make it up to you.
00:48:50How are you gonna do that?
00:49:02Let me show you.
00:49:04Lately, it feels like I've been faking.
00:49:06Think there's a stranger here instead.
00:49:10There you have it.
00:49:12Let, night.
00:49:14And I awake.
00:49:16I'm gonna escape this.
00:49:18Home.
00:49:20Time.
00:49:22Never changing.
00:49:24Let's run away.
00:49:26You're like the neighbors.
00:49:28Somewhere away from all these nightmares.
00:49:32Where nobody can find me.
00:49:36Let's run away.
00:49:38Let's run away from all the pain.
00:49:42You know, I think more people should try coworkers with benefits.
00:49:54So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:04Not really.
00:50:08Sorry.
00:50:12I, um...
00:50:14I was just curious.
00:50:16Congenital heart defect.
00:50:18You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:20It's too much.
00:50:21Too much?
00:50:22This condition.
00:50:24These bills.
00:50:25This scar.
00:50:26My parents were incredible.
00:50:29They gave up everything for me.
00:50:31They 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.
00:50:40Car accident.
00:50:41When I was a senior in high school.
00:50:44I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:48Alex.
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.
00:51:07Look, I've never told anybody this, but...
00:51:12Malia was born with her defect because Camilla...
00:51:17She took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out in modeling gigs.
00:51:24I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:27Oh my god.
00:51:29It's terrible.
00:51:31Truth is, she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:35I did.
00:51:36I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:41Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:47I'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.
00:52:01But this latest stunt, abandoning her daughter like that, it's...
00:52:06Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:09I want to, but...
00:52:11It's too risky.
00:52:12The courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:14I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:16They don't always.
00:52:18Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:24What did she say to you?
00:52:26Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips.
00:52:30It's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met.
00:52:34I think you could have a case here.
00:52:36I don't know.
00:52:37I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:39I mean, making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:42I can't do that.
00:52:44I know you want what's best for Malia.
00:52:47And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:50Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:54And if that's money, fine.
00:52:57You have it.
00:52:58Malia 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.
00:53:24Greedy?
00:53:25I meant breakfast.
00:53:26You can cook?
00:53:27Yes, I can.
00:53:28For the right company.
00:53:29Ta-da!
00:53:30I should have known someone near Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:53:37Shit.
00:53:38Fuck.
00:53:39I'm sorry.
00:53:40I didn't mean to.
00:53:41It's okay.
00:53:42It's okay.
00:53:43Really, it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:53:49Thank you again for everything.
00:53:50I know this wasn't part of the job description.
00:53:54And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:53:55Thank you again for everything.
00:53:56I know this wasn't part of the job description.
00:53:57And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:53:59Great.
00:54:00Not exactly.
00:54:01Not exactly.
00:54:02I'm sorry.
00:54:03I'm sorry.
00:54:04I'm sorry.
00:54:05I didn't mean to.
00:54:06It's okay.
00:54:07Really, 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.
00:54:16And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:20Great.
00:54:21Not exactly.
00:54:22He told you all of that?
00:54:23What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:24A saint?
00:54:25Hardly.
00:54:26Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:43Cross my heart, hope to die.
00:54:48Your dad is paying me to do this.
00:54:53To help Lakin.
00:54:54That's what a job is.
00:54:57You work for the company.
00:54:58You know that, right?
00:54:59You don't understand.
00:55:00Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck
00:55:05it out as Lakin's assistant.
00:55:07He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:55:10By any means necessary, he said.
00:55:13Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits.
00:55:16Coworkers with benefits?
00:55:19Excuse me?
00:55:21It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:24Why?
00:55:25Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:28Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:29I won't feel like that if he finds out.
00:55:31He'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:33Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:36Chase, I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:39I think...
00:55:40I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:43So more than co-workers with benefits.
00:55:49Thanks for meeting me.
00:56:00I wanted to talk to you about...
00:56:02Your new girlfriend?
00:56:03What?
00:56:04I 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.
00:56:12Especially that one.
00:56:14What do you mean by that one?
00:56:16Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in LA.
00:56:20It was a work trip.
00:56:22Oh 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.
00:56:39Enough is enough.
00:56:41I want sole custody.
00:56:44This is it?
00:56:46You wanna break up our family for that lying little...
00:56:49You don't want a family.
00:56:50You just want my money.
00:56:51I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:53You think I want money?
00:56:56How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:58What do you mean?
00:57:03I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:08That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:15I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:21What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:24The only reason why she's working for you...
00:57:27Is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.
00:57:30No, she wouldn't do that.
00:57:33That's not who she is.
00:57:35If you don't believe me, just ask your dad.
00:57:39Is it true?
00:57:40Lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:41Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:42It was for your own good.
00:57:44Do not give me that father knows best routine.
00:57:45This is a complete betrayal of my trust.
00:57:46Your personal issues were affecting not only the business, but our family.
00:57:47That is absurd.
00:57:48This has nothing to do with the company.
00:57:49Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader.
00:57:52As it does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or-
00:57:54So what?
00:57:55I-I can't.
00:57:56No.
00:57:57What?
00:57:58What's your fault?
00:57:59Why are there?
00:58:00That's not true.
00:58:01Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:58:02It was for your own good.
00:58:03Do not give me that father knows best routine.
00:58:04This is a complete betrayal of my trust.
00:58:05Your personal issues were affecting not only the business, but our family.
00:58:08That is absurd.
00:58:09This has nothing to do with the company.
00:58:11Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities
00:58:16as a leader.
00:58:17As it does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or-
00:58:21So what? I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?
00:58:24That is bullshit!
00:58:25My love life is none of your business.
00:58:27But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:58:32Alex is a smart girl with a good heart.
00:58:35She cares about Malia.
00:58:37And she challenges you.
00:58:39She's fired.
00:58:41Thanks to you.
00:58:47What are you doing here?
00:59:08We need to talk.
00:59:11We are?
00:59:13You want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back to her?
00:59:16Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:20Because you still love her?
00:59:22God, it was so fucking stupid.
00:59:24Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:28God, Alex, I trusted you.
00:59:32I told you things that I've never even told my family.
00:59:35And this whole time, you were just in it for the money.
00:59:39I...
00:59:41That was before anything happened between us.
00:59:45Lakin, I couldn't say no.
00:59:47That kind of money...
00:59:49You know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you.
00:59:51And fucking me, what?
00:59:52That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:54That's all I am to you.
00:59:56Just a transaction?
00:59:58Of course not.
00:59:59How dare you?
01:00:02Why should I believe you?
01:00:04You know, you're just like her.
01:00:08I am not like Camilla.
01:00:10Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:12You're fired.
01:00:13And this thing between us?
01:00:15That's over too.
01:00:43Let's go.
01:00:46Let's go.
01:00:47Let's go.
01:00:48Let's go.
01:00:49Let's go.
01:00:50Let's go.
01:00:51Let's go.
01:00:52Let's go.
01:01:11Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:13Got the perfect pairing.
01:01:15You gonna let me in or what?
01:01:24You are out of your mind.
01:01:26Showing up here is insane.
01:01:28Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:30I don't.
01:01:32I've changed.
01:01:33I've heard that before.
01:01:35God, it turns me on when you act like...
01:01:37Alright, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:40Have you left your house yet?
01:01:41Well, I'm gonna try and get my old job back,
01:01:44so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same days a lot.
01:01:51You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:53I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:01:57I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:02What's wrong with me?
01:02:15What's wrong with me?
01:02:17Nothing.
01:02:19Absolutely nothing.
01:02:20I'm sorry.
01:02:27I just...
01:02:29I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:34Hey.
01:02:35Text me, okay?
01:02:37Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:41We will.
01:02:42I promise.
01:02:47I promise.
01:02:48I will. I promise.
01:03:18I will.
01:03:49Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:52I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey kid, come on man, open up.
01:04:04You really need to give me a key.
01:04:08You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:18Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:25Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:28We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:31I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:36I don't.
01:04:37Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic by the way.
01:04:43What do you care?
01:04:44She's all yours now.
01:04:46Her little deal with dad is mute.
01:04:48And now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:55Yeah.
01:04:58You'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.
01:05:03Really.
01:05:04I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:05Are you good?
01:05:06I'm good.
01:05:07I'm good.
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:09I'm sorry.
01:05:10Really.
01:05:13I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:18Are you good?
01:05:19I'm good.
01:05:24I'm good.
01:05:37Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:40But you're always flirting with her at...
01:05:43I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:47She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:49She cares about you.
01:05:51A lot.
01:05:54She hated the deal.
01:05:55She hated lying to you.
01:05:58She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:05:59And why should I?
01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:10Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:29Don't cut her out.
01:06:30It'd be fun.
01:06:31It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:33I'm tired.
01:06:34It's really nice.
01:06:44I can't believe it.
01:06:45I'm so sorry, but I'm so sorry about it.
01:06:56It's over time.
01:07:00It's over time.
01:07:04It's over time.
01:07:07It's over time.
01:07:10Fuck 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?
01:08:20Good fucking riddance.
01:08:33I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:35It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:37I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?
01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:48Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:06Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:08And now Malia has to live the rest of her life, knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:17On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:20You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:22What else could you want?
01:09:25Maybe a certain little assistant that'll help you get custody.
01:09:28She blocked my number.
01:09:31And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:36It would make me look insane.
01:09:38Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:43She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:46And I don't blame her.
01:09:47Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:55She's working here again?
01:09:58Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:00Go get her.
01:10:15Hi.
01:10:16Ready to order?
01:10:18I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:27Alex.
01:10:28What are you doing here?
01:10:34Jace brought me to celebrate.
01:10:38I want full custody.
01:10:41Congratulations.
01:10:42Yeah, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:47Alex, I want to apologize.
01:10:51I made a huge mistake.
01:10:52Thanks.
01:10:53Thanks.
01:10:54I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:01Okay.
01:11:07You okay?
01:11:11Someone call 911!
01:11:14Help!
01:11:15It's okay.
01:11:17It's okay.
01:11:25Any update?
01:11:35there's only so much that they'll tell me right now but
01:11:43the doctor said that she's in critical condition they're going to operate tomorrow
01:11:49and then her chances are 50 50. Jesus her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress
01:11:58the stress that I fucking caused her and seeing me at the restaurant that couldn't help either
01:12:06I should have just left her alone it's not your fault Lakin and now Alex could she could

01:16:14Alex
01:16:14you're recovering from surgery
01:16:16let me at least help you inside
01:16:19Malia asks about you all the time you know
01:16:46she misses you
01:16:48everyone misses you
01:16:50my dad
01:16:52Jace
01:16:53and me
01:16:56it was wrong of me to accuse you
01:17:02of only wanting my money
01:17:03I can see that now
01:17:05I've just I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love
01:17:09and I've just been hurt so many times
01:17:12it's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check
01:17:15what you told me about your parents
01:17:22and how they sacrificed everything for you
01:17:24do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden
01:17:28they lost everything they had because of me
01:17:32hey but Alex don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again
01:17:35they would do it exactly the same
01:17:37that's not sacrifice
01:17:39that's love
01:17:42I've been thinking about it a lot
01:17:45about what it means to give
01:17:48without expecting anything in return
01:17:50I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most
01:17:54but what you've taught me
01:17:56what your parents have taught me
01:17:59is that
01:18:01supporting someone
01:18:04it's not about an obligation
01:18:05or to force an outcome
01:18:07it is simply because
01:18:10you love them
01:18:12Miss Livingston
01:18:15you are the most
01:18:18selfless
01:18:19independent
