00:07:08that'll be all for now
00:07:11I'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:07:14that means you can go
00:07:21Lakin
00:07:30like Lucifer
00:07:31his bark's worse than his bite
00:07:34trust me
00:07:35I'm Jace
00:07:37Lucifer's angelic younger brother
00:07:39you are?
00:07:41Alex
00:07:42Lakin's new assistant
00:07:43and uh
00:07:44it would be
00:07:44great if you didn't mention that
00:07:46super unprofessional name calling
00:07:48I've said worse
00:07:49your secret's safe with me
00:07:51Alex
00:07:53get in here
00:07:54we need to roll some calls to South Korea
00:07:56you're gonna need that
00:07:58coming
00:08:00we're still evaluating the Chicago hub closure
00:08:06it's costing us
00:08:08labor shortages at key distribution centers
00:08:12are already slowing down operation times
00:08:15and shifting our operations to Detroit
00:08:17might create bottlenecks
00:08:19we just can't afford right now
00:08:20so what
00:08:21we're just gonna bleed cash while you evaluate?
00:08:24I need solutions faster
00:08:26not more excuses people
00:08:28we're exploring alternatives
00:08:30nothing definitive yet
00:08:32um
00:08:36sorry to interrupt
00:08:37but have you considered splitting freight between Detroit and Cleveland
00:08:44and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow?
00:08:48huh
00:08:48so what
00:08:50you're
00:08:50you're now an expert in freight logistics?
00:08:53uh
00:08:53no
00:08:54but
00:08:55I was looking over last quarter's regional expense
00:08:58report while
00:08:58it could be off
00:08:59but Cleveland's underutilized
00:09:01and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure
00:09:03it wouldn't solve all of your problems
00:09:06but it could keep the Detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely
00:09:09actually that could work
00:09:11worth a shot
00:09:13I mean
00:09:14obviously my team would need to take a look at it
00:09:17and sort out the details
00:09:18is there anything else I should know about my business?
00:09:23not yet
00:09:23uh
00:09:29you heard her
00:09:31let's uh
00:09:32let's move on this right away
00:09:33that'll be all

00:09:41look dad
00:09:42I understand that I've been through an assistant or two
00:09:45seven this year
00:09:46this girl is overstepping
00:09:48she's jumping on executive leadership calls
00:09:51yes she was right
00:09:52but she is undermining me in front of my team
00:09:54how is that supposed to strengthen my position with the board?
00:09:57so you want to fire her for being too good at her job?
00:10:01like
00:10:01a good leader isn't threatened by his employees
00:10:04threatened?
00:10:05I am not threatened by her
00:10:07but she makes it look like I've lost control
00:10:09well
00:10:10the board already thinks you've lost control
00:10:12this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak
00:10:16you have to keep Alex
00:10:20what are you saying?
00:10:24you fire her and the board will find another CEO

00:19:07Looks like we're almost there.
00:19:17Remember, this is a work event.
00:19:20The whole board's going to be there.
00:19:21It's easy on the drinks.
00:19:22Do as I say, not as I do.
00:19:38You ready?
00:19:42It's easy.
00:20:12So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight,
00:20:26and you lied to me.
00:20:30Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:20:33I thought only H.R. saw that.
00:20:39Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar.
00:20:42I think that's a very sweet name.
00:20:44I'm not embarrassed.
00:20:45It's just private.
00:20:47My parents were the only ones who called me back.
00:20:55I see.
00:20:58I apologize.
00:20:59I didn't know.
00:21:01I didn't mean to upset you.
00:21:03Hey.
00:21:07Alex.
00:21:10I mean, I'm sorry.
00:21:18I think I owe you a drink.
00:21:21I'll be right back.
00:21:22Look at you.
00:21:30You look stunning.
00:21:33See the dress?
00:21:37Let's get turned even me straight.
00:21:39Picked it out just for you.
00:21:40It's perfect.
00:21:41May I have this dance, my lady?
00:21:42For you.
00:22:03Hey, bro.
00:22:04Is that for me?
00:22:05Get your own drink, bro.
00:22:06And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:22:11Dane?
00:22:11I knew it.
00:22:13My guest.
00:22:14You know what I mean.
00:22:15Sure, I know what you mean.
00:22:16I'll take that.
00:22:17I'll leave you guys to it.
00:22:30It's just a dance.
00:22:31Do not be weird about this.
00:22:33Oh, I'm being weird?
00:22:35Everyone else is dancing.
00:22:36It would look strange if we didn't.
00:22:39And besides,
00:22:40it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:22:45Right.
00:22:46So,
00:22:58something going on between you and my brother?
00:23:03Jase?
00:23:04Of course not.
00:23:05That was nothing.
00:23:07It didn't look like nothing.
00:23:08If I didn't know any better,
00:23:11I'd say you sound jealous.
00:23:14Don't be ridiculous.
00:23:15I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:23:18Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:23:22He's, you know.
00:23:26He's what?
00:23:28You don't know?
00:23:32Never mind.
00:23:34So, you guys aren't that close then?
00:23:36Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:23:40If you hadn't noticed,
00:23:41I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.
00:23:46It's important to make time for family, Lincoln.
00:23:49That's none of your concern.
00:23:51Just focus on steering clear of an office romance,
00:23:54Miss Livingston.
00:23:56It's unprofessional.
00:23:57What, this?
00:24:02This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:24:06Right.
00:24:06A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.
00:24:11It's completely innocent.
00:24:13Who?
00:24:14They're rarely touching.
00:24:21Lincoln.
00:24:23Dad.
00:24:24Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:24:28I need you to make your rounds.
00:24:31Miss Livingston?
00:24:33Shall we?
00:24:39Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:24:45Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:24:51Miss Livingston has been a...
00:24:53welcomed addition.
00:24:54Oh, yes.
00:24:55Detroit and Cleveland.
00:24:57Nice work.
00:24:58Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:25:01I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:25:13Team there and finalizing everything,
00:25:15making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:25:16I'm Lincoln.
00:25:17What are you doing here?
00:25:19I just thought I'd stop by.
00:25:21I thought you could use the moral support.
00:25:23Where's Malia?
00:25:24I got a babysitter.
00:25:27I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:25:30Who's this?
00:25:31Who's this?
00:25:35Uh, no one.
00:25:36Just, uh, my assistant.
00:25:40Alex.
00:25:41Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:25:42As I was saying, the transit times in New York.
00:25:47Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:25:49Don't be a poor.
00:25:50It's a party.
00:25:51No one wants to talk about business.
00:25:53Am I right?
00:25:55Let's dance.
00:25:56Maybe later.
00:25:57These gentlemen are on the board.
00:26:00You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:26:10What are you doing?
00:26:12Are you drunk?
00:26:13The whole office is here.
00:26:14We never have any time together.
00:26:16And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:26:18We're not together anymore.
00:26:19You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.
00:26:23Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:26:24I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
00:26:27I just...
00:26:28I miss you.
00:26:31And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.
00:26:35I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:26:38For old time's sake.
00:26:42One dance.
00:26:54Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:27:03Doesn't this feel nice?
00:27:06I know you miss this.
00:27:12This is a work event, Camilla.
00:27:15Max Lakin, so tense.
00:27:18I could fix that, you know.
00:27:22What do you want, hmm?
00:27:23And don't give me some bullshit about missing me.
00:27:26I know you.
00:27:27You want money, don't you?
00:27:30Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:27:34Malia's getting older.
00:27:35It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.
00:27:41We should be a family.
00:27:43We tried.
00:27:45And failed miserably.
00:27:47I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:27:48Are you sure about that?
00:27:52Camilla, don't.
00:27:53Kiss me.
00:27:55If you don't feel anything,
00:27:56I'll leave you alone.
00:28:02Stop.
00:28:03Jesus.
00:28:03Jesus.
00:28:05Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:28:10Lakin, are you listening to me?
00:28:13Look at me.
00:28:14You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:28:17Because you know I will.
00:28:20Let me make something very clear to you.
00:28:23We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:28:25You hear me?
00:28:26Ever.
00:28:27Now, you need to go.
00:28:29But...
00:28:30Right now.
00:28:35Let's see if we can change that.
00:28:54Not having any fun?
00:28:55Let's see if we can change that.
00:29:03It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:29:13And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:29:16And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:29:22So that's the last call, right?
00:29:23I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:29:25Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.
00:29:26Oh, my God.
00:29:28Stop.
00:29:31Something funny?
00:29:35Time to go.
00:29:40It's okay.
00:29:41Arturo.
00:29:50Took Miss Livingston home.
00:29:52You're being incredibly rude.
00:29:53You know that?
00:29:54You're getting wasted at a company party.
00:29:57It's totally inappropriate.
00:29:59Don't you inappropriate me.
00:30:00Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.
00:30:02You made out in front of everyone.
00:30:04First of all, she's my ex.
00:30:06And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:30:09I'm a CEO.
00:30:10Interrupt.
00:30:11Right.
00:30:13Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:30:15What, my title not good enough for you?
00:30:17Charming your way up the corporate ladder?
00:30:19CEO this week, chairman the next.
00:30:22Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.
00:30:24What do you care anyway?
00:30:25I thought you weren't attracted to me.
00:30:28I'm not.
00:30:29Oh, yeah?
00:30:31Yeah.
00:30:32Liar.
00:30:41I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:30:57Yeah, well, there's a lot you don't know about me.
00:30:59That cost $8,000.
00:31:09Yeah, my fucking money.
00:31:12Now get the hell over here.
00:31:20Is that a scar?
00:31:21It's odd.
00:31:23It's odd.
00:31:26Fuck me.
00:31:27I don't know.
00:31:57I don't know.
00:32:27I don't know.
00:32:57I don't know.
00:33:27Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:33:32I don't know.
00:34:02I don't know.
00:34:04I don't know.
00:34:06I don't know.
00:34:07I don't know.
00:34:08I don't know.
00:34:09I don't know.
00:34:10I don't know.
00:34:11I've seen how he is with Malia and...
00:34:13He's a soft spot.
00:34:15Lakin's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:18Like, needs therapy about it.
00:34:21Camilla really messed him up.
00:34:23Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:27That bitch is a gold digger.
00:34:29I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.
00:34:32It took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did, oh, surprise,
00:34:35surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:34:38Jesus.
00:34:39Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.
00:34:45It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:34:47Look, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:34:54How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:34:57Seven?
00:34:58I'll text you the details.
00:35:00Yeah.
00:35:01I'm down.
00:35:02Great.
00:35:03I can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:24Dad insisted.
00:35:26Something about never getting to see Malia these days.
00:35:29I wanted to have the gala postmortem at the office.
00:35:32You know, like normal business partners and not...
00:35:35Family members.
00:35:36Exactly.
00:35:41Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:35:48Grandpa, I told you it's me.
00:35:50You?
00:35:51Ah, you're too tall.
00:35:53No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.
00:35:57Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:35:59Hmm.
00:36:00Cause this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:02He he he.
00:36:04Are we expecting company?
00:36:06Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:20Alex?
00:36:21Lincoln?
00:36:22You made it.
00:36:23You made it.
00:36:24You didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:36:25You didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:36:26Me neither.
00:36:27You didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:36:28Me neither.
00:36:29Okay.
00:36:30You didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:36:34You didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:36:35Me neither.
00:36:36Okay.
00:36:38Okay.
00:36:39It's okay.

00:37:45about the other night
00:37:47I know the gala was a mess with
00:37:49Camilla
00:37:50Alex
00:37:50I've seen a change in my son
00:37:53really
00:37:54it's the first time I've seen him smile in years
00:37:57keep doing what you're doing

00:38:46uh
00:39:04come on
00:39:06She likes you, you know?
00:39:25She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:28I like her too.
00:39:36So, are we going to figure out what happened, or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:39:45Your job is not in danger.
00:39:49Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:39:54What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:39:56I can't get involved with my assistant, not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:02But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:11I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:15I want you, Alex.
00:40:17That's the problem.
00:40:18What if we separate church and state?
00:40:30At work, we're professional.
00:40:34But outside of work, we're...
00:40:37Unprofessional?
00:40:37I think the light is like...
00:40:39I'm asleep walking through
00:40:43All of my problems and no
00:40:45I can't make it through
00:40:49Every night it's the same
00:40:51I keep running fast
00:40:53Left and right
00:40:54Wondering where my head's gone
00:40:57I'm asleep walking through
00:41:01All of my problems and no
00:41:03Liam, hurry. Come on.
00:41:07Let's go. Come on.
00:41:10Let's go, Leah. Come on.
00:41:11Mom!
00:41:12Faster!
00:41:15Hey, uh...
00:41:17Lincoln's not here right now. He just landed in New York...
00:41:19New York. I know.
00:41:21But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:26Going to LA. Business trip.
00:41:29So, she's all yours.
00:41:30Oh, uh...
00:41:31I'm not really here to be childcare.
00:41:34I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:41:36Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:41:42I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:41:48Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:41:51Hey, hey.
00:41:52It's okay, Malia.
00:41:53Yeah.
00:41:53Alex, what's going on?
00:42:08Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:09Camila just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:12She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:14What?
00:42:15Let me talk to her.
00:42:16Hi, honey. Are you okay?
00:42:22Hi.
00:42:23Listen, uh...
00:42:25Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:42:27I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:42:30Everything is fine.
00:42:32I love you.
00:42:33I love you, too.
00:42:33I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:42:41So much for that family time she wanted.
00:42:43I'll book the first flight out this evening.
00:42:46Okay.
00:42:47Okay. Bye.
00:42:48Okay, so we'll get you fed.
00:42:58I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets back, it's such a lot of rice.
00:43:05I'm sorry.
00:43:07You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:14Has your mom done this before?
00:43:15Sort of.
00:43:20Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work trips.
00:43:28Work trips.
00:43:29Huh.
00:43:31Does your dad know about this?
00:43:33I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:43:36She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:43:42Shit!
00:43:42I mean, shoot!
00:43:45Oh, my God!
00:44:02Malia!
00:44:04Malia!
00:44:08I'm sorry.
00:44:09I didn't mean to.
00:44:10I didn't mean to.
00:44:11I didn't mean to.
00:44:12I didn't mean to.
00:44:14I didn't mean to.
00:44:23Better?
00:44:27Good.
00:44:32How about we order some pizza?
00:44:35Hmm.
00:44:35Malia, do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:05You can talk to me. Believe me, I understand.
00:45:13What do you mean?
00:45:18It's from surgery. I was born with a heart defect, just like you.
00:45:24Really? I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:45:35Who is it?
00:45:50It's me.
00:45:52Lincoln. Hi.
00:46:02Hi. Can I see Malia?
00:46:07Daddy, shh.
00:46:35Daddy, shh.
00:46:37It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here. Go back to sleep.
00:46:41No, stay.
00:46:45I can sleep on the couch.
00:46:47No, you stay too.
00:46:53It's alright with me.
00:47:05Where do you think you're going?
00:47:17Where do you think you're going?
00:47:31To find Malia.
00:47:33I've already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:47:37We're all alone.
00:47:39What about work?
00:47:43Time off for good behavior.
00:47:47Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:01It wasn't a problem.
00:48:05Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:11Let me make it up to you.
00:48:17How are you gonna do that?
00:48:21How are you gonna do that?
00:48:29Let me show you.
00:48:31You're like the neighbors.
00:48:55You know, I think more people should try coworkers with benefits.
00:49:19So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:49:31Not really.
00:49:35Sorry, I was just curious.
00:49:41Congenital heart defect.
00:49:45You don't want to hear about it.
00:49:46It's too much.
00:49:47Too much?
00:49:49This condition.
00:49:50These bills.
00:49:51This scar.
00:49:53My parents were incredible.
00:49:55They gave up everything for me.
00:49:57They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:04And now they're gone.
00:50:06Car accident.
00:50:08When I was a senior in high school.
00:50:10I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:16Alex.
00:50:17Sorry, way too much information.
00:50:19Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:21You don't need to know my sob story.
00:50:27You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:50:29I know.
00:50:30She told me.
00:50:31Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:50:33Look, I've never told anybody this, but Malia was born with her defect because Camilla, she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out modeling gigs.
00:50:50I only found out before it was too late.
00:50:53Oh my god.
00:50:54It's terrible.
00:50:55Truth is, she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:00I did.
00:51:01I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:05Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:09I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:10The only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.
00:51:21Not for me.
00:51:22Certainly not for her daughter.
00:51:24You know, she's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt?
00:51:29You know, abandoning her daughter like that, it's...
00:51:33Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:51:35I want to, but it's too risky.
00:51:38I mean, the courts usually side with the mother.
00:51:40I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:51:42They don't always...
00:51:45Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:51:50What did she say to you?
00:51:52Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips.
00:51:56It's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met.
00:52:00I think you could have a case here.
00:52:02I don't know.
00:52:03I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:05I mean, making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:08I can't do that.
00:52:10I know you want what's best for Malia.
00:52:13And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:16Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:20And if that's money, fine.
00:52:22You have it.
00:52:24Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.
00:52:27You're right.
00:52:29Malia deserves better.
00:52:31I will talk to her this week.
00:52:47Seems like I owe you again.
00:52:52Greedy?
00:52:54I meant breakfast.
00:52:57You can cook?
00:52:59Yes, I can.
00:53:01For the right company.
00:53:02I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:53:21Shit. Fuck. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
00:53:27It's okay.
00:53:29Really, it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:53:36Thank you again for everything.
00:53:38I know this wasn't part of the job description.
00:53:40And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:53:49Right.
00:53:51Not exactly.
00:53:57He told you all of that?
00:53:58What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:00A saint?
00:54:02Hardly.
00:54:05Look.
00:54:06If I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:11Cross my heart. I hope to die.
00:54:12Your dad is paying me to do this. To help Lakin.
00:54:21That's what a job is. You work for the company. You know that, right?
00:54:24You don't understand.
00:54:26Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant.
00:54:33He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:54:35By any means necessary, he said.
00:54:38Now that Lakin and I are-
00:54:40Fucking like rabbits?
00:54:42Coworkers with benefits? Excuse me?
00:54:46It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:54:49Why? Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:54:53Seems like a win-win to me.
00:54:55It won't feel like that if he finds out. He'll think I'm just using him.
00:54:59Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:02Jeez, I can't keep lying to him. I think...
00:55:07I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:12So more than co-workers with benefits.
00:55:23Thanks for meeting me.
00:55:25I wanted to talk to you about-
00:55:26Your new girlfriend?
00:55:27What?
00:55:30I know all about your little sleepover.
00:55:33You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life.
00:55:38Especially that one.
00:55:40What do you mean by that one?
00:55:42Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in LA.
00:55:46It was a work trip.
00:55:47Oh, really?
00:55:48She's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been.
00:56:01Which is actually why I'm here.
00:56:03Enough is enough.
00:56:05I want sole custody.
00:56:06I want sole custody.
00:56:08So this is it?
00:56:10You want to break up our family for that lying little-
00:56:13You don't want a family.
00:56:15You just want my money.
00:56:16I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:18You think I want money?
00:56:20How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:22What do you mean?
00:56:27I hate to be the one to tell you this, but that girl is using you, Lakin.
00:56:39I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:56:45What do you mean she's using me?
00:56:47The 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.
00:56:57No, she wouldn't do that. That's not who she is.
00:57:01If you don't believe me, just ask your dad.
00:57:12Is it true?
00:57:14Lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:16Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:22It was for your own good.
00:57:24Do not give me that Father Knows Best routine.
00:57:27This is a complete betrayal of my trust.
00:57:29Your personal issues were affecting not only the business, but our family.
00:57:33That is absurd. This has nothing to do with the company.
00:57:36Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader.
00:57:42As it does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or-
00:57:45So what? I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart? That is bullshit.
00:57:50My love life is none of your business.
00:57:52But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:57:55Alex is a smart girl with a good heart.
00:57:58She cares about Malia.
00:58:01And she challenges you.
00:58:03She's fired.
00:58:05Thanks to you.
00:58:06Thanks to you.
00:58:07What are you doing here?
00:58:08We need to talk.
00:58:12What are you doing here?
00:58:29What are you doing here?
00:58:35We need to talk.
00:58:38Oh, yeah?
00:58:38You want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:58:43Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:58:46Because you still love her?
00:58:48God, I'm so fucking stupid.
00:58:50Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:58:54God, Alex, I...
00:58:56I trusted you.
00:58:57I told you things that I've never even told my family.
00:59:01And this whole time, you were just in it for the money.
00:59:06I...
00:59:06That was before anything happened between us.
00:59:10Lakin, I couldn't say no.
00:59:12That kind of money.
00:59:14You know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you.
00:59:16And fucking me, what?
00:59:17That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:20That's all I am to you?
00:59:21Just a transaction?
00:59:23Of course not.
00:59:24How dare you?
00:59:28Why should I believe you?
00:59:30You know, you're just like her.
00:59:33I am not like Camilla.
00:59:36Lakin, I care about you.
00:59:38You're fired.
00:59:39And this thing between us, that's over too.
00:59:42Go.
00:59:45Let's go.
00:59:54Let's go.
00:59:54I'm not.
00:59:59Let's go.
01:00:29Rocky Road, huh?
01:00:38I've got the perfect pairing.
01:00:42You're going to let me in or what?
01:00:48You are out of your mind.
01:00:51Showing up here is insane.
01:00:52Like you don't fucking love it?
01:00:54I don't.
01:00:57I've changed.
01:00:57I've heard that before.
01:01:00God, it turns me on when you act like you.
01:01:01All right, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:05Have you left your house yet?
01:01:06Well, I'm going to try and get my old job back,
01:01:09so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:12Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.
01:01:16You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:20I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:01:24I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:01:27What's wrong with me?
01:01:42Nothing.
01:01:43Absolutely nothing.
01:01:46I'm sorry.
01:01:51I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:04Hey.
01:02:06Text me, okay?
01:02:08Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:12I will.
01:02:13I promise.
01:02:15I promise.
01:02:34I promise.
01:03:07Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:17I used to work here.
01:03:18Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:03:28You really need to give me a key.
01:03:33You want a drink?
01:03:34Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:03:35Second cabinet to the left.
01:03:45Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:03:49Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:03:52We were just fucking, and now we're not.
01:03:56I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:03:57I don't.
01:04:01Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:05Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:07What do you care?
01:04:09She's all yours now.
01:04:10Her little deal with dad is mute, and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:14Jesus Christ.
01:04:15Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:15You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about
01:04:25his own life.
01:04:31I'm sorry.
01:04:34Really.
01:04:34I can't believe I didn't...
01:04:39Are you good?
01:04:47I'm good.
01:04:47Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:06But you're always flirting with her, Alex.
01:05:07I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:09She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:13She cares about you.
01:05:15A lot.
01:05:17She hated the deal.
01:05:19She hated lying to you.
01:05:22She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:05:26And why should I?
01:05:28Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:05:34Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:05:39Call her.
01:05:40Call her.
01:06:09Call her.
01:06:11Call her.
01:06:30Call her.
01:06:35Call her.
01:06:37Call her.
01:06:39Fuck him.
01:06:55So, that's $250,000 a year?
01:06:59Every year?
01:07:01Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:03So, in nine more years then?
01:07:06Eight.
01:07:07You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:07:09I don't even know how old your daughter is.
01:07:28Pleasure doing business with you.
01:07:35You don't want to say goodbye?
01:07:36She's upstairs waiting.
01:07:38I can't.
01:07:39I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:07:41Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:07:53Good fucking riddance.
01:07:55I'm proud of you, son.
01:07:58It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:00I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?
01:08:05And if you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:11Congrats, bro.
01:08:17Let's celebrate.
01:08:29Come on.
01:08:30We should be celebrating.
01:08:32Ding dong.
01:08:32The witch agreed to settle.
01:08:33And now Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care enough
01:08:40about her to fight for custody.
01:08:42On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:08:46You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:08:48What else could you want?
01:08:48Maybe a certain little assistant to help you get custody.
01:08:54She blocked my number.
01:08:57And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:02It would make me look insane.
01:09:05Insane or romantic?
01:09:09She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:10And I don't blame her.
01:09:13Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:21She's working here again?
01:09:24Is that why you brought me here?
01:09:26Go get her.
01:09:40Hi.
01:09:42Ready to order?
01:09:43I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:09:52Alex.
01:09:54Lincoln?
01:09:55Uh, what are you doing here?
01:09:58Uh, Jace brought me to celebrate.
01:10:03I won full custody.
01:10:06Congratulations.
01:10:07Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:10Uh, Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.
01:10:16I made a huge mistake.
01:10:18Thanks.
01:10:19I actually need to take my break right now.
01:10:26Okay.
01:10:32You okay?
01:10:36Someone call 911!
01:10:40Help!
01:10:41It's okay.
01:10:42It's okay.
01:10:42It's okay.
01:10:42It's okay.
01:10:42It's okay.
01:10:46It's okay.
01:10:47It's okay.
01:10:51We'll be getting Dr. Becker.
01:10:52We're taking Dr. Becker.
01:11:00Any update?
01:11:06There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but...
01:11:08the doctor said that
01:11:11she's in critical condition
01:11:12they're going to operate tomorrow
01:11:14and then her chances are 50-50
01:11:18Jesus
01:11:19her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress
01:11:23the stress that I fucking caused her
01:11:27and seeing me at the restaurant
01:11:30that couldn't help either
01:11:31I should have just left her alone
01:11:34it's not your fault, Lincoln
01:11:35and now Alex could
01:11:38she could
01:11:39hey, stop
01:11:40don't talk like that
01:12:02hey, Lincoln
01:12:03oh my god, Alex
01:12:06you're awake
01:12:07Jesus Christ
01:12:08I was so worried
01:12:10I thought
01:12:10I thought that I might have lost you
01:12:15thank you
01:12:18I'm fine
01:12:19you should leave
01:12:22what?
01:12:24what are you talking about?
01:12:26Lincoln, why are you here?
01:12:28I'm here because I care about you
01:12:29because
01:12:30because you feel guilty
01:12:31this is what you do
01:12:34you throw money at your problems
01:12:35to make yourself feel better
01:12:37no
01:12:37it's not like that
01:12:39I don't want to be your charity case, Lincoln
01:12:41I don't want to feel like
01:12:44I owe you
01:12:45or anyone again
01:12:46you are not a burden
01:12:49I don't think that
01:12:51I'd like you to go
01:12:53it's not like that
01:12:54I don't care about you
01:12:55what you do
01:12:55I thought I might be
01:12:56not like you
01:12:56you do

01:13:08you
01:13:08you
01:13:08you
01:13:11you
01:13:12you
01:13:16you
01:13:16you
01:13:20Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:13:42It's good to see you awake.
01:13:45You had me worried there for a minute.
01:13:46I got you something.
01:14:06This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:11Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:14It was Dad.
01:14:16You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Malia while Aiken watches over you here.
01:14:22Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:14:25Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:14:29He shouldn't have.
01:14:30You made a deal, Alex.
01:14:32Dad was good for it.
01:14:34It's done.
01:14:36I don't deserve it.
01:14:39What are you talking about?
01:14:41Look at me, Jace.
01:14:42I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:14:43Why should I?
01:14:44Hey, Alex.
01:14:47You deserve love.
01:14:51It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:14:53Jesus.
01:14:59I'm sorry.
01:15:00I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:04Fuck.
01:15:05I'm sorry.
01:15:05I just...
01:15:09I thought you might need some help.
01:15:25Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:15:27Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:15:34Sorry.
01:15:36Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:15:38Alex.
01:15:39You're recovering from surgery.
01:15:41Let me at least help you inside.
01:15:43Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:09She misses you.
01:16:13Everyone misses you.
01:16:15My dad.
01:16:16Jace.
01:16:19And me.
01:16:24It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:16:27I can see that now.
01:16:30I've just...
01:16:30I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:16:32And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:16:36It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:16:43What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you,
01:16:48do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:16:53They lost everything they had because of me.
01:16:56Yeah, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again,
01:16:59they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:00That's not sacrifice.
01:17:04That's love.
01:17:06I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:09About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:14I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:17But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me,
01:17:23is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:17:32It is simply because you love them.
01:17:35Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:17:51I can't stop.
01:17:53It's true.
01:17:54And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:17:59I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:02Prove it?
01:18:03How?
01:18:12Is that...
01:18:14Scars.
01:18:16Just like yours.
01:18:17Are those tattoos?
01:18:21I wanted it to be permanent.
01:18:26I love you, Alex.
01:18:28I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:18:35Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:18:41Please.
01:18:41I love you, too.
01:18:46I love you, too.
01:18:46I love you, too.
01:19:11What are you doing next week?
01:19:15I want to take you to a party.
01:19:19Another gala?
01:19:21Something like that.
01:19:23And you know the guest department very well.
01:19:27Who is it?
01:19:29You'll see.
01:19:29Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:19:41Happy birthday to you.
01:19:53What'd you wish for?
01:19:55A new mommy.
01:19:57One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:04I got you something.
01:20:07It might not be the biggest present you get,
01:20:09but I think you'll like it.
01:20:12I have one, too.
01:20:15Just like you.
01:20:16I got you something.
01:20:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:20:36I got you something.
01:20:37The sky is going black, so come with us, don't hold back
01:20:44The sky is going black, so come with us, don't hold back
