00:00:00Assistant position.
00:00:01I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:00:03Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:00:07What are you doing here?
00:00:08I work here.
00:00:09Must be a pity hire.
00:00:11Better than daddy buying my position for me.
00:00:13Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two.
00:00:16This girl is overstepping.
00:00:17You fire her and the ward will find another CEO.
00:00:21I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:00:23I need you to stay.
00:00:25It's just a dance.
00:00:26Do not be weird about this.
00:00:27And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:00:31Right.
00:00:38I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:00:42Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:00:48It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:00:50She likes you, you know?
00:00:52She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:00:54That girl is using you, Lincoln.
00:00:57The only reason why she's working for you
00:00:59is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills
00:01:01if she kept you away from me.
00:01:03I can't keep lying to him.
00:01:05I think I'm falling for him.
00:01:06I don't care.
00:01:06I don't care.
00:01:11No.
00:01:12I don't care if you're working for a physical nurse.
00:01:14She thinks she's not na-
00:01:15she's not.
00:01:15Oh, no.

00:08:46trust me
00:08:47i'm jace
00:08:49lucifer's angelic younger brother
00:08:51you are
00:08:52alex
00:08:54lakin's new assistant
00:08:55and uh
00:08:56it would be
00:08:57great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling
00:09:00i've said worse
00:09:01your secret's safe with me
00:09:02alex
00:09:05get in here
00:09:06we need to roll some calls to south korea
00:09:08you're gonna need that
00:09:10coming
00:09:12we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure
00:09:19it's costing us
00:09:21labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times and
00:09:27shifting our operations to detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford right now
00:09:33so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:35i need solutions faster not more excuses people
00:09:40we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:45um sorry to interrupt
00:09:49but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow
00:09:59so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:04uh
00:10:05no
00:10:07but
00:10:08i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but
00:10:12cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure
00:10:16it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely
00:10:22actually that could work
00:10:24worth a shot
00:10:26i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:31is there anything else i should know about my business
00:10:34you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all
00:10:47alex has to go absolutely not she stays
00:10:54look dad i understand that i've been through an assistant or two seven this year
00:10:59this girl is overstepping
00:11:01she's jumping on executive leadership calls yes she was right but she is undermining me in front of my team
00:11:07how is that supposed to strengthen my position with the board
00:11:10so you want to fire her for being too good at her job
00:11:13like a good leader isn't threatened by his employees
00:11:17threatened
00:11:18i am not threatened by her
00:11:20but she makes it look like i've lost control
00:11:22well the board already thinks you've lost control
00:11:24this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak
00:11:29you have to keep alex
00:11:33what are you saying
00:11:36you fire her and the board will find another ceo
00:11:40hey

00:20:05Oops.
00:20:06Must have slipped my mind.
00:20:09It looks like we're almost there.
00:20:32Remember, this is a work event.
00:20:35The whole board is going to be there.
00:20:36It's easy on the drinks.
00:20:38Do as I say, not as I do.
00:20:54You ready?
00:20:57You ready?
00:21:18So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight,
00:21:41and you lied to me. Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:51I thought only HR saw that.
00:21:55Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar. I think that's a very sweet name.
00:22:00I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.
00:22:06My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:11I see. I apologize. I didn't know. I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:21Hey, Alex. I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:34I think I owe you a drink. I'll be right back.
00:22:41Look at you. You look stunning.
00:22:49Let's see the dress.
00:22:53Let's get to turn even me straight.
00:22:55Picked it out just for you.
00:22:56It's perfect. May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:58I'll be right back.
00:23:18For you.
00:23:19Hey, bro.
00:23:20Is that for me?
00:23:21Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:23And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:24Dane?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29Uh, my guest. You know what I mean.
00:23:31Yeah, sure. I know what you mean. I'll take that. I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:34It's just a dance. Do not be weird about this.
00:23:50Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:52Everyone else is dancing. It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:55And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:23:59Right.
00:24:15So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:20Jase? Of course not. That was nothing.
00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:24If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:30Don't be ridiculous. I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested. He's, you know.
00:24:42He's what?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind. So, you guys aren't that close then?
00:24:52Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:24:57If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.
00:25:02It's important to make time for family, Lincoln.
00:25:05That's none of your concern.
00:25:08Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:12It's unprofessional.
00:25:14What? This?
00:25:19This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:22Right. A totally normal boss-slash-assistant slow dance.
00:25:28It's completely innocent.
00:25:30Who?
00:25:31They're rarely touching.
00:25:32Lincoln.
00:25:40Dad.
00:25:42Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:48Miss Livingston?
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:51Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:02Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:08Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:11Oh, yes.
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:14Nice work.
00:26:15Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:18I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:30Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34Hi, Lincoln.
00:26:36What are you doing here?
00:26:36I 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?
00:26:53Uh, 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's in New York.
00:27:04I really...
00:27:04Come on, Lincoln.
00:27:06Don't be a bore.
00:27:07It's a party.
00:27:09No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:10Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:13Maybe later.
00:27:14These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:19What are you doing?
00:27:30Are you drunk?
00:27:30The 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.
00:27:42I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
00:27:44I just...
00:27:47I 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.
00:28:18Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Max Lincoln, so tense.
00:28:37I could fix that, you know.
00:28:39What 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.
00:28:54It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.
00:28:59We should be a family.
00:29:01We tried.
00:29:02And failed miserably.
00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla.
00:29:11Don't.
00:29:11Kiss me.
00:29:12If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:20Stop.
00:29:20Jesus.
00:29:24Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:27Lincoln, 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.
00:29:38Let 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.
00:29:48I'm not having any fun.
00:30:12Not having any fun?
00:30:13Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:21Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:26It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:31And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:35And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:40So it's last call, right?
00:30:41I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:30:43Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.
00:30:44Oh my god, stop!
00:30:49Something funny?
00:30:54Time to go.
00:31:07Arturo.
00:31:08I took 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.
00:31:17Don't you inappropriate me.
00:31:19Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.
00:31:20You meet 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.
00:31:28Interrupt.
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?
00:31:35Charm 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 weren't attracted to me.
00:31:46I'm not.
00:31:48Oh yeah?
00:31:48What?
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:51Liar.
00:32:06Fucking puppets.
00:32:13Didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:16Yeah, well there's a lot you don't know about me.
00:32:18That cost eight thousand dollars.
00:32:28Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:31Now get the hell over here.
00:32:39Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd.
00:32:43Fuck me.
00:32:44You're not.
00:32:44Fuck me.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:32:49Leave us that some love away tonight.
00:32:51I'll be both forever.
00:32:53I wanna be with you.
00:32:54I'll be here with you.
00:32:56I'll be here with you.
00:32:57We can't let this slip away.
00:32:59You know, I won't give us things.
00:33:01Cause I won't be with you.
00:33:03I won't be with you.
00:33:05I won't be with you.
00:33:06I won't be with you.
00:33:08I don't wanna put it all out
00:33:11Don't let this go too late
00:33:38You, uh, wanna come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no
00:33:50Right, no, of course not
00:33:56Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday
00:34:08Morning
00:34:20Morning
00:34:22I can't believe I risked my job
00:34:33for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me
00:34:35It's not your fault
00:34:37Lakin 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
00:34:44She's a soft spot
00:34:45Lakin's got some serious trust issues
00:34:48Like, he needs therapy about it
00:34:51Camilla really messed him up
00:34:53Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:58That bitch is a gold digger
00:34:59I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career
00:35:02Took him, like, three years to come to his senses
00:35:05And when he finally did, oh, surprise, surprise
00:35:07Guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus
00:35:10Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot
00:35:17Look
00:35:22I gotta run to a meeting
00:35:24How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details
00:35:29Yeah, I'm down
00:35:32Great
00:35:33Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner
00:35:54Dad insisted
00:35:56Something about never getting to see Malia these days
00:35:59I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office
00:36:03You know, like, normal business partners and not
00:36:06Family members
00:36:06Exactly
00:36:08Did you, uh, give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me
00:36:21You, uh, you're too tall
00:36:23You know, my Malia, last time I saw her
00:36:25She was just about my knee-high
00:36:27Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:29Hmm, cause this little woman is an imposter
00:36:32Are we expecting company?
00:36:36Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:39Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:41Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:43Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:45Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:47Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:49Alex?
00:36:54Lincoln?
00:36:55You made it!
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it!
00:36:58You didn't realize you were joining us, Alex?
00:37:03Me neither
00:37:09I didn't realize you were joining us, Alex
00:37:24Me neither
00:37:36It'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
00:37:44It is
00:37:45Look on the bright side
00:37:47At least it's not brussel sprouts, am I right?
00:37:58Thank you
00:37:59That was delicious
00:38:01Alright
00:38:04Miss Livingston
00:38:07A word
00:38:08Uh, Mr. Blainford
00:38:15About the other night
00:38:17I know the gala was a mess with Camilla
00:38:20Alex
00:38:22I've seen a change in my son
00:38:24Really?
00:38:25It's the first time I've seen him smile in years
00:38:27Keep doing what you're doing
00:38:29You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone
00:38:37Thank you, Jace
00:38:38You're very welcome
00:38:39Jace, don't
00:38:40Bye
00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:47But I wanna hang out with Alex
00:38:49Please, Daddy
00:38:50Please
00:38:51Works for me
00:38:56Works for me
00:39:09I'll be right back
00:39:11Hey
00:39:14I think you'll bet
00:39:16Come on
00:39:21I'll be right back
00:39:48Ah
00:39:51She likes you, you know?
00:39:56She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:59I like her, too.
00:40:07So, are we going to figure out what happened?
00:40:11Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:16Your job is not in danger.
00:40:17Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:26What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:31Not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:36But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:43I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:46I want you, Alex.
00:40:47That's the problem.
00:40:55What if we separate church and state?
00:41:00At work, we're professional.
00:41:05But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:09I think the light is like...
00:41:11I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems, I know.
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.
00:41:34Malia, hurry.
00:41:38Come on.
00:41:39Come on.
00:41:39Come on.
00:41:41Let's go, Malia.
00:41:42Come on.
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster.
00:41:46Hey.
00:41:48Uh, Lincoln's not here right now.
00:41:50He just landed in New York.
00:41:51New York.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:52But 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 childcare.
00:42:05I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:07Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey.
00:42:24It's okay, Malia.
00:42:25Yeah.
00:42:38Alex, 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.
00:42:53Are you okay?
00:42:54Hi.
00:42:55Listen, uh, Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:42:59I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:02Everything is fine.
00:43:03I love you.
00:43:04I love you, too.
00:43:07I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:13So much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:28Okay, so we'll get you fed.
00:43:30I can help you with your homework.
00:43:31And by the time your dad gets back...
00:43:34Is that too much rice?
00:43:35I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:46Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of.
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work trips.
00:43:58Work 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.
00:44:08She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit!
00:44:14I mean, shoot!
00:44:16Oh my god!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:37Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:42I didn't mean to.
00:44:43I don't know.
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:05How will we order some pizza?
00:45:06I don't know.
00:45:29Malia?
00:45:32Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:34You can talk to me.
00:45:42Believe me, I understand.
00:45:46What do you mean?
00:45:51It's from surgery.

00:50:40car accident when 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 way too much information
00:50:52especially from a fuck buddy you don't need to know my sob story
00:50:56you know that melina's heart condition is congenital
00:51:02i know she told me
00:51:04yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:06look i've never told anybody this but
00:51:10melia was born with her defect because camilla
00:51:14she took diet pills during the pregnancy
00:51:16so she wouldn't gain weight
00:51:18or lose out modeling gigs
00:51:20i only found out before it was too late
00:51:22oh my god
00:51:24it's terrible
00:51:26truth is
00:51:28she never really wanted to have a baby
00:51:30i did
00:51:32i was the one who wanted us to be happy for
00:51:34you
00:51:36i was the one who wanted us to be happy for you
00:51:38i was the one who wanted us to be happy family
00:51:42turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket
00:51:46i'm so sorry leakin
00:51:50the only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:52is for the money
00:51:54not for me
00:51:56and certainly not for her daughter
00:51:58you know she
00:52:00she's always been irresponsible but
00:52:02this latest stunt
00:52:04abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:06i
00:52:08have you thought about pursuing soul custody
00:52:10i want to but
00:52:12it's too risky
00:52:14the courts usually side with the mother
00:52:16i i can't risk losing my daughter
00:52:18they don't always
00:52:20melia 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
00:52:28it's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met
00:52:32i think you could have a case here
00:52:34i don't know
00:52:36i don't want to put her through that i mean
00:52:38making her testify against her own mother
00:52:40i can't do that
00:52:42i know you want what's best for melia
00:52:46and 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
00:52:56you have it
00:52:58melia deserves people in her life who care about her

00:55:24cause you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it
00:55:26seems like a win-win to me
00:55:28it won't feel like that if he finds out
00:55:30he'll think i'm just using him
00:55:32well
00:55:34maybe he doesn't have to find out
00:55:36chase i can't keep lying to him
00:55:38i think
00:55:40i think i'm falling for him
00:55:42i think i'm falling for him
00:55:44so more than co-workers with benefits

00:56:10especially that one
00:56:12what do you mean by 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
00:56:24she's already proven to be way better at taking care of malia than you've ever been
00:56:26which is actually why i'm here
00:56:28enough is enough
00:56:30i want sole custody
00:56:32so this is it
00:56:34you wanna break up our family

00:56:52to be the one to tell you this
00:56:54but
00:56:56that girl is using you lincoln
00:57:10i overheard jason her laughing about it in the break room earlier today
00:57:16what do you mean she's using me
00:57:18the only reason why she's working for you
00:57:22is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills
00:57:24if she kept you away from me
00:57:26no she wouldn't do that
00:57:28that's not who she is
00:57:30if you don't believe me
00:57:32just ask your dad
00:57:34is it true

00:57:58it was for your own good
00:58:00do not give me that father knows best routine
00:58:02this is a complete betrayal of my trust
00:58:04your personal issues were affecting not only the business but our family
00:58:08that is absurd
00:58:10this has nothing to do with the company
00:58:12your inability to cut camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader
00:58:16as it does the way you close yourself off from any connection romantic or
00:58:20so what i i can't be ceo if i don't open my heart that is bullshit
00:58:24my love life is none of your business
00:58:26but the well being of my granddaughter still is

01:01:18You're going to let me in or what?
01:01:24You are out of your mind.
01:01:27Showing up here is insane.
01:01:28Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:30I don't.
01:01:32I've changed.
01:01:34I've heard that before.
01:01:35God, it turns me on when you act like...
01:01:37All right, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:40Have you left your house yet?
01:01:42Well, I'm going to try and get my old job back,
01:01:45so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.
01:01:52You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:56I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:01:59I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:05What's wrong with me?
01:02:17Nothing.
01:02:19Absolutely nothing.
01:02:20I'm sorry.
01:02:29I just...
01:02:30I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:40Hey.
01:02:42Text me, okay?
01:02:44Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:46I just...
01:02:49I will.
01:02:51I promise.
01:02:55Wait.
01:03:13Text me, OK.
01:03:13Text me, OK.
01:03:14Text me, 1.
01:03:15Text me, OK.
01:03:15Text me, OK.
01:03:15Text me, OK.
01:03:16Text me, OK.
01:03:46Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:53I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:05You really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:16I heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:26Can'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.
01:04:44What 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.
01:04:51Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:52You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about
01:05:02his own life.
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:16Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:24Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:42But you're always flirting with her, Al.
01:05:44I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:47She'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.
01:06:03And why should I?
01:06:05Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:11Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:21I'm not too late to make it right.
01:06:25I'm on the top of my head.
01:06:32I'm here.
01:06:33I'm here.
01:06:34I'm here.
01:06:35I'm here.
01:06:37I'm here.
01:06:38I'm here.
01:06:39I'm here.
01:06:40I'm here.
01:06:40I'm here.
01:06:42I'm here.
01:06:42I don't know.
01:07:12Fuck him.
01:07:33So, that's $250,000 a year?
01:07:37Every year?
01:07:38Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:40So, in nine more years, then?
01:07:43Eight.
01:07:45You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:06Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:10You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:14She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:15I can't.
01:08:16I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:18Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:20Good fucking riddance.
01:08:33I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:35It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:38I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?
01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:53Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:10Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11And now Malia has to live the rest of her life, knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:20On 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?
01:09:26Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody.
01:09:32She blocked my number.
01:09:35And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:40That would make me look insane.
01:09:42Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:46She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:49And I don't blame her.
01:09:50Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:58She's working here again?
01:10:02Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:19Hi.
01:10:19Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln.
01:10:34What are you doing here?
01:10:37Jace brought me.
01:10:39To celebrate.
01:10:41I won full custody.
01:10:44Congratulations.
01:10:45Yeah, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:49Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.
01:10:54I made a huge mistake.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:57I actually need to take my break right now.
01:10:59I need to go.
01:11:00I need to go.
01:11:00I need to go.
01:11:02Okay.
01:11:10You okay?
01:11:11You okay?
01:11:13I'm okay.
01:11:14I'm okay.
01:11:14You okay?
01:11:15Help!
01:11:15Someone call 911!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20Any update?
01:11:44There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but
01:11:46the doctor said that she's in critical condition,
01:11:52they're going to operate tomorrow,
01:11:53and then her chances are 50-50.
01:11:57Jesus.
01:11:59Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:04The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:07And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either.
01:12:10I should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lincoln.
01:12:13And now Alex could...
01:12:17She could...
01:12:17Hey, stop.
01:12:19Don't talk like that.
01:12:40I like it.
01:12:43Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:46Jesus Christ.
01:12:48I was so worried.
01:12:49I thought...
01:12:50I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:57I'm fine.
01:13:00You should leave.
01:13:02What?
01:13:02What are you talking about?
01:13:04Lincoln, why are you here?
01:13:06I'm here because I care about you.
01:13:08Because...
01:13:08Because you feel guilty.
01:13:11This is what you do.
01:13:13You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:16No.
01:13:17It's not like that.
01:13:18I don't want to be your charity case, Lincoln.
01:13:22I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:25You are not a burden.
01:13:28I don't think that.
01:13:31I'd like you to go.
01:13:43I'd like you to go.
01:13:45Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:15It's good to see you awake.
01:14:22You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:29I got you something.
01:14:38This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:53It was Dad.
01:14:55You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Mulio while they can watch us over you here.
01:15:01Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:04Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:07He shouldn't have.
01:15:09You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:11Dad was good for it.
01:15:13It's done.
01:15:15I don't deserve it.
01:15:17What are you talking about?
01:15:19Look at me, Jace.
01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:15:22Why should I?
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:25You deserve love.
01:15:29It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:34I'm sorry.
01:15:48I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:49Fuck.
01:15:50I'm sorry, I just thought you might need some help.
01:16:04Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:06Well then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:09Sorry.
01:16:13Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:16Alex, you're recovering from surgery.
01:16:19surgery. Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:47Emily asks about you all the time, you know. She misses you. Everyone misses you. My dad,
01:16:56Jace, and me. It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money. I can see that
01:17:08now. I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love, and I've just been hurt
01:17:14so many times. It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than
01:17:18a blank check. What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything
01:17:27for you, do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden? They lost
01:17:33everything they had because of me. Hey, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given
01:17:37the chance to do it all over again, they would do it exactly the same? That's not
01:17:42sacrifice. That's love. I've been thinking about it a lot, about what it means to give
01:17:51without expecting anything in return. I can't change the fact that I've been given more than
01:17:56most. But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me, is that supporting someone is
01:18:07not about an obligation or to force an outcome. It is simply because you love them. Miss Livingston,
01:18:18you are the most selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my
01:18:29entire life. I can't stop. It's true. And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just
01:18:40have to prove it to you. Prove it? How? Is that... Scars. Just like yours. Are those tattoos? I wanted
01:19:02to prove it to be permanent. I love you, Alex. I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:16Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot? Please.
01:19:25I love you too.
01:19:32What are you doing next week? I want to take you to a party.
01:19:57Another gala?
01:20:02Something like that. And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:07Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:16Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:22Happy birthday to you.
01:20:27What did you wish for?
01:20:36A new mommy.
01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:45I got you something.
01:20:47It might not be the biggest present you get, but I think you'll like it.
01:20:51I have one, too.
01:20:56Just like you.
01:20:57Ilists you.
01:20:58I just love you.
01:21:02I just love your purity.
01:21:05All right.
01:21:07For real ë˜.
01:21:10You'll see your noise.
01:21:10You died.
01:21:11I know you lost your innocence.
01:21:14I have one, too.
01:21:16It might not be the same alimentos.
01:21:17I hurt you.
01:21:19You have two, too.
01:21:20So come with us, don't hold back
01:21:25It's nice, oh yeah, the sky is going black
01:21:30So come with us, don't hold back
