00:08:12i also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from amelio's
00:08:16oh
00:08:18and stay out of my personal life
00:08:21that'll be all for now
00:08:23i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:33that means you can go
00:08:34lincoln
00:08:42i like lucifer
00:08:44his bark's worse than his bite
00:08:47trust me
00:08:47i'm jace
00:08:49lucifer's angelic younger brother
00:08:52you are
00:08:53alex lincoln's new assistant
00:08:55and uh it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling
00:09:00i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:03alex
00:09:06alex
00:09:06get in here
00:09:07we 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
00:09:36i need solutions faster not more excuses people
00:09:40we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:45um sorry to interrupt
00:09:50but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow
00:10:00so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:04uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off
00:10:12but cleveland'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 worth a shot
00:10:26i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:31is there anything else i should know about my business
00:10:34not yet
00:10:36uh
00:10:42you heard her
00:10:44let's uh let's move on this right away
00:10:46that'll be all
00:10:48alex has to go
00:10:52absolutely 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
00:11:04yes she was right
00:11:05but 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
00:11:14lincoln 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
00:11:25this 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
00:11:39hey
00:11:46melia right

00:11:52Hey, Malia, right?
00:12:05How are you feeling?
00:12:07Better.
00:12:07Thank you for helping me the other day.
00:12:09Of course.
00:12:10You know, if you ever start to feel like that, you should sit down and slow your heart rate.
00:12:15What the hell are you doing?
00:12:16Malia, honey, why don't you get started on your homework, okay?
00:12:27Your job is to help with my work, not butt into my personal life.
00:12:30I was just trying...
00:12:31From now on, I want you to leave my daughter alone.
00:12:36How about I leave you alone, huh?
00:12:38I quit.
00:12:39Come on, it's only been a week.
00:12:41You really giving up that fast?
00:12:43You know what?
00:12:44Fine.
00:12:45Leave.
00:12:46Guess you're just not cut out for a big girl job, are you, waitress?
00:12:55Alex, hang on.
00:12:59Alex!
00:13:05Alex, wait.
00:13:07Alex!
00:13:12I told you to wait.
00:13:13I'm not going to stay here and subject myself to this bullshit any longer.
00:13:18I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:13:21I'll double your salary.
00:13:23I'll give you a four-day work week, whatever you want.
00:13:28Look, you can't leave, okay?
00:13:32I need you to stay.
00:13:35How about starting with an apology?
00:13:36I've been working my ass off all week, doing everything you say, and you're still a dick to me.
00:13:44What do I have to do to please you?
00:13:45Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:13:51It's not your fault.
00:13:54I just, uh...
00:13:55Alex, hang on.
00:14:06Alex, hey, Alex, hey, Alex, wait one second.
00:14:13Look, I don't know what came over me, okay?
00:14:15But I can't lose you.
00:14:18I promise from now on, I will clean up my act.
00:14:22No more verbal abuse?
00:14:23I didn't...
00:14:25Fine.
00:14:28No more.
00:14:29And no more calling me waitress.
00:14:31It's Miss Livingston or Alex.
00:14:33Got it.
00:14:36And you said something about doubling my salary.
00:14:39Stick around for a few more months, and then we'll talk, okay?
00:14:42Okay.
00:14:45You won't regret it.
00:14:48Want a bath?
00:14:49Huh.
00:15:15Sorry I'm late.
00:15:17Traffic was hell.
00:15:20A menu for you, sir.
00:15:25Hi, Malia.
00:15:27Can't compete with that iPad.
00:15:30We order drinks.
00:15:34A 2005 Roman Acon tea.
00:15:37Best bottle on the menu.
00:15:38It better be.
00:15:40It costs $15,000.
00:15:41We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:44Not until after I get board approval on.
00:15:51So, what did you want to talk to me about?
00:15:55Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:16:00It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:16:06Malia, honey, you and I talked about this, right?
00:16:09Your mother and I love you very much.
00:16:12It's just...
00:16:14It's not easy for us to be around each other right now.
00:16:19Maybe...
00:16:19We could try a little harder.
00:16:23Hey.
00:16:32I just wanted to give you a status report before I head home.
00:16:35Thank you, Ms. Livingston.
00:16:39So, regarding South Korea, I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week.
00:16:43I'm working...
00:16:43Lakin, are you listening to me?
00:16:59Uh, sorry.
00:17:01As I was saying, uh, where was I?
00:17:03You can just take your top off.
00:17:06Oh, my God.
00:17:06I meant you can just take it from the top.
00:17:13I got to go.
00:17:25No soy sauce in this whole building?
00:17:29They're still here.
00:17:30That's surprising.
00:17:33You and my brother are getting along better?
00:17:35Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:40So, that little argument you guys had the other day,
00:17:42what was that?
00:17:42The lover's quarrel?
00:17:45Look who's blushing.
00:17:48I am not blushing, and that wasn't a lover's quarrel.
00:17:51He doesn't like me like that.
00:17:53So, he didn't run after you in the elevator
00:17:56and sweep you off your feet?
00:17:58Chase.
00:18:00Lakin.
00:18:02So, we were just talking about you.
00:18:03Lovely assistant you've got here.
00:18:05Such a sweetheart.
00:18:07Anywho, I got to go.
00:18:08I'll talk to you later, Alex.
00:18:10You needed me for something?
00:18:12The company's hosting a charity fundraiser tomorrow night,
00:18:18and I need you to go with me.
00:18:21You need a date?
00:18:23No.
00:18:23What I need is my assistant close by.
00:18:25So, if you have any plans, just go ahead and cancel them.
00:18:31And here.
00:18:32Take my card and buy yourself a dress this afternoon.
00:18:36Try to keep it under $10,000, all right?
00:18:38No problem.
00:18:39I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.
00:18:41Got it.
00:18:46Under $10,000.
00:18:49Oh.
00:18:50And seeing as I'm buying,
00:18:52I like red.
00:18:54And see if you leave with me.
00:19:06I want to take you with me.
00:19:13Oh.
00:19:14Oh.
00:19:14I don't want to, I don't want to see you, I don't want to, I don't want to see you, I don't want to, I don't want to see you, I don't want to, I don't want to see you.
00:19:44I thought I said I like red.
00:20:04Did you?
00:20:06Oops.
00:20:07Must have slipped my mind.
00:20:14It looks like we're almost there.
00:20:32Remember, this is a work event.
00:20:35The whole board is going to be there.
00:20:37It's easy on the drinks.
00:20:44Do as I say, not as I do.
00:20:53You ready?
00:21:14I'm not going to be there.
00:21:23So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight,
00:21:41and you lied to me.
00:21:46Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:52I thought only HR saw that.
00:21:55Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar.
00:21:58I think that's a very sweet name.
00:22:00I'm not embarrassed.
00:22:01It's just private.
00:22:06My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:08I see.
00:22:14I apologize.
00:22:16I didn't know.
00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:21Hey.
00:22:23Alex.
00:22:26I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:29I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:37I'll be right back.
00:22:45Look at you.
00:22:47You look stunning.
00:22:49Let's see the dress.

00:33:53Right.
00:33:54No.
00:33:56Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess...
00:34:01I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:20Morning.
00:34:22Morning.
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.
00:34:37Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:40Me.
00:34:41Dad.
00:34:41But I've seen how he is with Malia, and...
00:34:44He's a soft spot.
00:34:47Laken's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:49Like, he needs therapy about it.
00:34:52Camilla really messed him up.
00:34:55Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:58That bitch is a gold digger.
00:35:00I 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,
00:35:06Oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus.
00:35:11Jesus.
00:35:11Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:16It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:22Look.
00:35:24I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:26How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:28Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details.
00:35:31Yeah.
00:35:31I'm down.
00:35:33Great.
00:35:33Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:56Dad insisted.
00:35:57Something about never getting to see Malia these days.
00:35:59I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.
00:36:04You know, like normal business partners and not...
00:36:06Family members.
00:36:08Exactly.
00:36:13Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me.
00:36:21You?
00:36:22Ah, you're too tall.
00:36:24No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.
00:36:28Hey, has anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:31Hmm.
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:34Hehehe.
00:36:36Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:55Alex?
00:36:57Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it.
00:37:21Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:25Me neither.
00:37:26It's okay.
00:37:36It's okay.
00:37:37I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:40My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:44He'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.
00:38:01All right.
00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:08I love you.
00:38:09Mr. Blankford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:21Alex, I have seen a change in my son.
00:38:25Really?
00:38:25It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:26It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:29Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:32You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:34I 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-bye.
00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:48But I wanna hang out with Alex.
00:38:50Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:56Works for me.
00:38:57I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:14Get your bed.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:27She likes you, you know?
00:39:55She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:40:00I like her, too.
00:40:07So, are we gonna figure out what happened, or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:16Your job is not in danger.
00:40:20Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:25What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I...
00:40:28I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:32Not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:36But I also can't accept the fact that...
00:40:39Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:44I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:46I want you, Alex.
00:40:49That's the problem.
00:40:49What if we separate church and state?
00:41:01At work, we're professional.
00:41:05But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:09I think the light is 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, I know.
00:41:35I'm asleep, I know.
00:41:39Oh, come on.
00:41:42Let's go, Leah, come on.
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster!
00:41:47Hey, uh...
00:41:49Lincoln's not here right now.
00:41:50He just landed in New York.
00:41:51New York.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:53But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:58Going to L.A.
00:41:59Business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:02Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be child care.
00:42:06I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:10Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:20Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:23Hey, hey, it's okay, Malia.
00:42:32Alex, what's going on?
00:42:40Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:41Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:44She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:46What?
00:42:47Let me talk to her.
00:42:52Hi, honey. Are you okay?
00:42:54Hi.
00:42:55Listen, uh, Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:42:59I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:02Everything is fine.
00:43:04I love you.
00:43:05I love you, too.
00:43:10I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:13So much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay. Bye.
00:43:20Okay, so we'll get you fed, I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets back, is that too much rice?
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:41Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of.
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work trips.
00:44:00Work trips.
00:44:02Huh.
00:44:03Does your dad know about this?
00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:07She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit!
00:44:15I mean, shoot!
00:44:16Shoot!
00:44:20Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:42I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:05How would we order some pizza?
00:45:30Malia?
00:45:30Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:40You can talk to me.
00:45:43Believe me, I understand.
00:45:47What do you mean?
00:45:51It's from surgery.

00:45:56Just like you.
00:45:57Really?
00:45:57Really?

00:49:13let me
00:49:15I lie awake
00:49:17I'm going to escape this
00:49:19you're like the neighbors
00:49:29you know I think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:50you know I think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:55so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:02not really
00:50:09sorry I um I was just curious
00:50:16congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much
00:50:21too much
00:50:22this condition these bills this scar
00:50:27my parents were incredible
00:50:29they gave up everything for me they drained their savings in what little life of wealth
00:50:35they built for themselves to try and make my life normal
00:50:38and now they're gone
00:50:39car accident when I was a senior in high school
00:50:43I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then
00:50:48Alex
00:50:51sorry way too much information
00:50:53especially from a fuck buddy you 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
00:51:08look I've never told anybody this but
00:51:13Malia was born with her defect because Camilla
00:51:17she took diet pills during the pregnancy
00:51:21so she wouldn't gain weight
00:51:23or lose out in modeling gigs
00:51:25I only found out before it was too late
00:51:28oh my god
00:51:29it's terrible
00:51:32truth is
00:51:33she never really wanted to have a baby
00:51:36I did
00:51:37I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family
00:51:41turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket
00:51:44I'm so sorry Lincoln
00:51:49the only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:53is for the money
00:51:55not for me
00:51:57certainly not for her daughter
00:51:58she's always been irresponsible
00:52:02but this latest stunt
00:52:03abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:06it's
00:52:06have you thought about pursuing soul custody?
00:52:10I want to
00:52:11but
00:52:11it's too risky
00:52:13the courts usually side with the mother
00:52:15I can't risk losing my daughter
00:52:17they don't always
00:52:19Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this
00:52:25what did she say to you?
00:52:28Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips
00:52:31it's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met
00:52:34I think you could have a case here
00:52:37I don't know
00:52:37I don't want to put her through that
00:52:40I mean
00:52:40making her testify against her own mother
00:52:43I can't do that
00:52:45I know you want what's best for Malia
00:52:48and sharing her with Camilla isn't it
00:52:51maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants
00:52:55and if that's money, fine
00:52:57you have it
00:52:59Malia deserves people in her life who care about her
00:53:02you're right
00:53:03Malia deserves better
00:53:06I will talk to her this week
00:53:09thank you
00:53:18seems like I owe you again
00:53:24greedy
00:53:28I meant breakfast
00:53:30you can cook
00:53:33yes, I can
00:53:35for the right company
00:53:37ta-da
00:53:46I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth
00:53:57shit, fuck, I'm sorry
00:54:01I didn't mean to
00:54:03it's okay
00:54:04really
00:54:05it's
00:54:06actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again
00:54:09thank 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
00:54:18wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:21right
00:54:25not exactly
00:54:27he told you all of that?
00:54:33what are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:35a saint?
00:54:36hardly
00:54:37look
00:54:40if I tell you something
00:54:42you promise not to say anything to anyone
00:54:44cross my inner hope to die
00:54:47your 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
00:55:03and cover my medical bills for life
00:55:05if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant
00:55:07he wanted me to keep him away from Camilla
00:55:10by any means necessary
00:55:12he said
00:55:14now that Lakin and I are
00:55:15fucking like rabbits
00:55:17co-workers with benefits
00:55:19excuse me
00:55:21it just
00:55:22it seems wrong not to tell him
00:55:24why?
00:55:25because you're helping him get his shit together
00:55:27and getting paid for it?
00:55:28seems like a win-win to me
00:55:29it won't feel like that if he finds out
00:55:31he'll think I'm just using him
00:55:33well
00:55:34maybe he doesn't have to find out
00:55:36Chase
00:55:37I can't keep lying to him
00:55:39I think
00:55:41I think I'm falling for him
00:55:44so more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:50thanks for meeting me
00:56:00I wanted to talk to you about
00:56:02your new girlfriend
00:56:04what?
00:56:05I know all about your little sleepover
00:56:08you know I'd appreciate it if you told me
00:56:10before bringing another woman into our daughter's life
00:56:13especially that one
00:56:15what do you mean by that one?
00:56:17Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in LA
00:56:21it was a work trip
00:56:22oh really?
00:56:23she's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been
00:56:36which is actually why I'm here
00:56:38enough is enough
00:56:40I want sole custody
00:56:42this is it?
00:56:45this is it?
00:56:46you want to break up our family?
00:56:48for 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?
00:56:55how much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:58what do you mean?
00:56:59I hate to be the one to tell you this
00:57:06but
00:57:07that girl is using you Lakin
00:57:11I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today
00:57:18what do you mean she's using me?
00:57:22what 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
00:57:29if she kept you away from me
00:57:33no she wouldn't do that
00:57:34that's not who she is
00:57:36if you don't believe me
00:57:38just ask your dad
00:57:48is it true?
00:57:50Lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:52did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:58it was for your own good
00:57:59do 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
00:58:09this has nothing to do with the company
00:58:11your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader
00:58:17as it does the way you close yourself off from any connection
00:58:20romantic 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
00:58:40thanks to you
00:58:41she's fired
00:58:42thanks to you
00:58:43what are you doing here?
00:59:08we need to talk
00:59:11we are?
00:59:14you want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:18is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:21because you still love her?
00:59:23god it was so fucking stupid
00:59:25were you ever gonna tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:28god Alex
00:59:30I trusted you
00:59:32I told you things that I've never even told my family
00:59:35and this whole time
00:59:37you were just in it for the money
00:59:40I
00:59:41that was before anything happened between us
00:59:45Lakin I couldn't say no
00:59:47that kind of money
00:59:48you 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?
01:00:01why should I believe you?
01:00:04you know you're just like her

01:03:50Hey, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:53I used to work here.
01:03:55Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:05You really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:11Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:19I heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:26Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:29We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:32I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:37I don't.
01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:42Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:44What do you care?
01:04:46She's all yours now.
01:04:47Her little deal with dad is mute,
01:04:49and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:51Jesus Christ, Lincoln, I'm gay.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:57You're always so wrapped up in your own shit,
01:05:01you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:16Are you good?
01:05:24I'm good.
01:05:38Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:40But you're always flirting with her, Alex.
01:05:44I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:48She's a good person, Lincoln.
01:05:50She cares about you.
01:05:52A 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.
01:06:10I feel like it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:17Call her.
01:06:17Fine.
01:06:20Fine.
01:06:21Fine.
01:06:45Hi.
01:06:46I don't know.
01:07:16Fuck him.
01:07:33So, that's $250,000 a year.
01:07:37Every year.
01:07:39Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:41So, in nine more years then?
01:07:44Eight.
01:07:44What? You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:06Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:12You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:14She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:16I can't. I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:18Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:31Good 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?
01:08:43And if you gentlemen will excuse me,
01:08:45I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:49Thanks.
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.
01:09:24You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:26What else could you want?
01:09:27Maybe 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.
01:09:40It would make me look insane.
01:09:43Insane or romantic?
01:09:46She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:49And I don't blame her.
01:09:51Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:59She's working here again?
01:10:02Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:04Go get her.
01:10:16Hi.
01:10:20Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:29Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:35What 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, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:50Uh.
01:10:51Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.
01:10:55I made a huge mistake.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:58I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:05Alex, hey.
01:11:11You okay?
01:11:13Hey.
01:11:15Whoa.
01:11:16Someone call 911.
01:11:19Help.
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20It's okay.
01:11:20Yeah.
01:11:29Any update?
01:11:39there's only so much that they'll tell me right now but
01:11:46the doctor said that she's in critical condition they're going to operate tomorrow
01:11:53and their chances are 50 50. Jesus her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress
01:12:01the stress that I fucking caused her and seeing me at the restaurant that couldn't help either
01:12:10I should have just left her alone it's not your fault Lincoln and now Alex could she could
01:12:18hey stop don't talk like that

01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred why should I
01:15:23hey Alex

01:15:59fuck

01:16:17Alex
01:16:18you're recovering from surgery
01:16:20let me at least help you inside
01:16:22Malia asks about you all the time you know
01:16:49she misses you
01:16:52everyone misses you
01:16:54my dad
01:16:56Jace
01:16:57and me
01:17:00it was wrong of me to accuse you
01:17:06of only wanting my money
01:17:07I can see that now
01:17:08I've just I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love
01:17:12and I've just been hurt so many times
01:17:15it's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check
01:17:19what you told me about your parents
01:17:25and how they sacrificed everything for you
01:17:28do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden
01:17:31they lost everything they had because of me
01:17:35yeah but Alex don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again
01:17:39they would do it exactly the same
01:17:40that's not sacrifice
01:17:43that's love
01:17:45I've been thinking about it a lot
01:17:48about what it means to give
01:17:51without expecting anything in return
01:17:54I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most
01:17:57but what you've taught me
01:18:00what your parents have taught me
01:18:03is that
01:18:05supporting someone
01:18:07it's not about an obligation
01:18:09or to force an outcome
01:18:11it is simply because
01:18:14you love them
01:18:16Miss Livingston
01:18:19you are the most
01:18:21selfless
01:18:23independent
01:18:24strong

01:18:30I can't stop
01:18:33it's true
01:18:34and since you clearly don't believe me
01:18:38I guess I'll just have to prove it to you
