00:06:34sir i appreciate the offer i do but i'm not interested in being someone's babysitter
00:06:41think of yourself as a fixer i could use someone like you you know you're smart
00:06:49you're good under pressure and if you don't tell him the real reason why i hired you i'll handle
00:06:55all those medical bills of yours what do you say i say when do i start right now
00:07:13alex meet lakin blanford the interim ceo of blanford corporation
00:07:19and you're a new boss her are you joking i certainly am not i'm still ceo for now you do
00:07:28as i say
00:07:39welcome aboard
00:07:46let's get started did you bring your notepad from the restaurant
00:07:56coffee black every day within five minutes of my arrival lunch will be at 1pm sharp no fast food
00:08:06are you writing this down i also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from amelio's
00:08:14oh and stay out of my personal life
00:08:18that'll be all for now i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:28that means you can go
00:08:36you can like lucifer this bark's worse than his bite trust me i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger
00:08:47brother you are alex lincoln's new assistant and uh it would be great if you didn't mention that
00:08:54super unprofessional name calling i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:00alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea you're gonna need that coming
00:09:11we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution
00:09:19centers are already slowing down operation times and shifting our operations to detroit might create
00:09:26bottlenecks we just can't afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:32i need solutions faster not more excuses people we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:43um sorry to interrupt
00:09:48but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and
00:09:52using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow huh so what you're you're now an expert
00:09:59in freight logistics uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it
00:10:06could be off but cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure
00:10:12it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down
00:10:17entirely actually that could work worth the shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at
00:10:25it and sort out the details is there anything else i should know about my business not yet
00:10:38uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all
00:10:45alex has to go absolutely not she stays look dad i understand that i've been through an assistant or
00:10:53two seven this year this girl is overstepping she's jumping on executive leadership calls yes she was
00:11:00right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my position with
00:11:05the
00:11:05board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job like a good leader isn't threatened
00:11:12by his
00:11:12employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control well the
00:11:18board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak
00:11:27you have to keep alex what are you saying you fire her and the board will find another ceo
00:11:58hey malia right how are you feeling better thank you for helping me the other day of course you know
00:12:06if you ever start to feel like that you should sit down and slow your heart rate what the hell

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

00:49:29where nobody can find me
00:49:33let's run away
00:49:36away from all the pain
00:49:46you 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
00:50:07sorry i um
00:50:09i was just curious
00:50:13congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much
00:50:16too much
00:50:18this condition these bills this scar my parents were incredible
00:50:25they gave up everything for me they drained their savings in what little life of wealth they
00:50:30built for themselves to try and make my life normal and now they're gone
00:50:36car accident when i was a senior in high school
00:50:40i begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then
00:50:45alex sorry way too much information especially from a
00:50:50fuck buddy you don't need to know my sob story
00:50:56you know that malia's heart condition is congenital
00:50:58i know she told me
00:51:01yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:06look i've never told anybody this but
00:51:10malia was born with her defect because camilla
00:51:14she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out in modeling gigs
00:51:21i only found out before it was too late
00:51:23oh my god
00:51:26it's terrible
00:51:27truth is she never really wanted to have a baby
00:51:31i did i was the one who wanted us to be a happy family
00:51:37turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket
00:51:42i'm so sorry lincoln
00:51:46the only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:49is for the money
00:51:51not for me and certainly not for her daughter
00:51:54you know she she's always been irresponsible but this latest stunt
00:51:58you know abandoning her daughter like that it's
00:52:03have you thought about pursuing soul custody
00:52:05i want to but it's too risky i mean the courts usually side with the mother i i can't risk
00:52:11losing
00:52:11my daughter they don't always
00:52:17malia told me this wasn't the first time camilla's done something like this
00:52:20what did she say to you camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips
00:52:26it's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met
00:52:30i think you could have a case here i don't know
00:52:34i don't want to put her through that i mean making her testify against her own mother
00:52:38i can't do that i know you want what's best for malia and sharing her with camilla isn't it
00:52:47maybe you should just give camilla what she really wants
00:52:49and if that's money fine you have it
00:52:54malia deserves people in her life who care about her
00:52:57you're right malia deserves better
00:53:02i will talk to her this week
00:53:12thank you
00:53:17seems like i owe you again
00:53:22greedy i meant breakfast
00:53:26you can cook yes i can for the right company
00:53:41ta-da
00:53:49i should have known someone near sugar would have such a sweet tooth
00:53:55shit fuck i'm sorry i i didn't mean to
00:53:59it's okay really it's
00:54:02actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again
00:54:06thank you again for everything i know this wasn't part of the job description
00:54:11and i'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:20great not exactly
00:54:27he told you all of that what are you a miracle worker the saint hardly
00:54:35look if i tell you something you promise not to say anything to anyone
00:54:41cross my inner hope to die
00:54:46your dad is paying me to do this to help lakin
00:54:51that's what a job is you work for the company you know that right you don't understand your dad
00:54:56offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if i stuck it out as
00:55:01lakin's
00:55:02assistant he wanted me to keep him away from camilla by any means necessary he said
00:55:09now that lakin and i are freaking like rabbits
00:55:13co-workers with benefits excuse me it just it seems wrong not to tell him
00:55:20why because you're helping him get his together and getting paid for it seems like a win-win to me
00:55:25i won't feel like that if he finds out he'll think i'm just using him well
00:55:30maybe he doesn't have to find out jace i can't keep lying to him i think
00:55:37i think i think i'm falling for him
00:55:43so more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:53thanks for meeting me i wanted to talk to you about your new girlfriend
00:56:00what i know all about your little sleepover
00:56:04you know i'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life
00:56:09especially that one what do you mean by that one alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go
00:56:15clubbing in la it was a work trip oh really
00:56:28she's already proven to be way better at taking care of malia than you've ever been
00:56:31which is actually why i'm here enough is enough i want sole custody so this is it
00:56:41you want to break up our family for that lying little you don't want a family you just want my
00:56:46money i see right through you camilla you think i want money how much do you know about your little
00:56:53assistant what do you mean
00:56:58i hate to be the one to tell you this but that girl is using you lakin
00:57:10i overheard jace and her laughing about it in the break room earlier today
00:57:16what do you mean she's using me the only reason why she's working for you
00:57:22is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me
00:57:28no she wouldn't do that that's not who she is if you don't believe me just ask your dad
00:57:43is it true lakin what are you doing here did you hire alex in order to keep tabs on me
00:57:53it was for your own good do not give me that father knows best routine this is a complete
00:57:58betrayal of my trust your personal issues were affecting not only the business but our family
00:58:03that is absurd this has nothing to do with the company your inability to cut camilla from your
00:58:09life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader as it does the way you close yourself off
00:58:15from any connection romantic or so what i i can't be ceo if i don't open my heart that is
00:58:20bullshit my love life is none of your business but the well-being of my granddaughter still is
00:58:28alex is a smart girl with a good heart she cares about malia and she challenges you she's fired thanks
00:58:37to
00:59:06you
00:59:08Oh, yeah? You want to explain what you were doing with your ex, looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:14Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia? Because you still love her?
00:59:18God, I'm so fucking stupid.
00:59:20Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:25God, Alex, I... I trusted you. I... I told you things that I've never even told my family.
00:59:32And this whole time, you... you were just in it for the money.
00:59:37I... that was before anything happened between us.
00:59:41Lakin, I couldn't say no. That kind of money... you know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you.
00:59:47And fucking me, what? That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:51That's all I am to you, just a transaction?
00:59:54Of course not. How dare you?
00:59:58Why should I believe you?
01:00:01You know, you're just like her.
01:00:04I am not like Camilla.
01:00:06Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:08You're fired.
01:00:10And this thing between us, that's over too.
01:00:30Let's go.
01:00:41Let's go.
01:01:07Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:09I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:13You're going to let me in or what?
01:01:19You are out of your mind.
01:01:22Showing up here is insane.
01:01:23Like you don't fucking love it?
01:01:25I don't.
01:01:27I've changed.
01:01:28I've heard that before.
01:01:31God, it turns me on when you act like you.
01:01:32All right, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:36Have you left your house yet?
01:01:37Well, I'm going to try and get my old job back,
01:01:39so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:43Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same days a lot.
01:01:47You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:51I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:01:55I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:09What's wrong with me?
01:02:12Nothing.
01:02:14Absolutely nothing.
01:02:21I'm sorry.
01:02:28I think I'm going to be alone tonight.
01:02:35Hey.
01:02:37Text me, okay?
01:02:39Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:43I will.
01:02:46I promise.
01:02:49I'll wait.
01:02:51I promise.
01:03:45Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:48I used to work here.
01:03:50Hey, Ken, come on, man, open up.
01:04:00You really need to give me a key.
01:04:04You want a drink?
01:04:05Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:07So I can cap it to the left.
01:04:17I heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:21Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:24We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:27I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:32I don't.
01:04:33Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:36Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:39What do you care?
01:04:40She's all yours now.
01:04:42Her little deal with dad is mute.
01:04:44And now you two can finally be together.
01:04:45Jesus Christ, Lincoln, I'm gay.
01:04:51Yeah.
01:04:54You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:03I'm sorry.
01:05:06Really.
01:05:08I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:13Are you good?
01:05:18I'm good.
01:05:32Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:37But you're always flirting with her, Alex.
01:05:39I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:43She's a good person, Lincoln.
01:05:45She cares about you.
01:05:46A lot.
01:05:49She hated the deal.
01:05:51She hated lying to you.
01:05:53She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:05:58And why should I?
01:06:00Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:06Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:10I'm sorry.
01:06:11Call her.
01:06:41I'm sorry.
01:06:47Bye-bye.
01:06:48Bye-bye.
01:06:57Bye-bye.
01:07:22Fuck him.
01:07:28So, that's $250,000 a year?
01:07:32Every year?
01:07:33Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:36So, in nine more years then?
01:07:38Eight.
01:07:39Eight. You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:01Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:07You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:09She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:10I can't. I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:13Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:25Good fucking riddance.
01:08:28I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:31Only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:33I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?
01:08:38If you don't want to excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:48Congrats, bro.
01:08:50Let's celebrate.
01:09:01Come on. We should be celebrating.
01:09:04Ding dong.
01:09:05Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:08Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:08Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:10And now Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care enough
01:09:13about her to fight for custody.
01:09:15Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:15On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:18You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:20What else could you want?
01:09:23Maybe a certain little assistant to help you get custody.
01:09:27She blocked my number.
01:09:30And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me
01:09:33back.
01:09:35It would make me look insane.
01:09:38Well, insane or romantic?
01:09:42She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:44And I don't blame her.
01:09:46Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find
01:09:49her.
01:09:54She's working here again?
01:09:57Is that why you brought me here?
01:09:59Go get her.
01:10:14Hi.
01:10:15Ready to order?
01:10:16I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:25Alex.
01:10:27Lincoln?
01:10:28Uh, what are you doing here?
01:10:31Uh, Jace brought me to celebrate.
01:10:36I won full custody.
01:10:39Congratulations.
01:10:40Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:45Uh.
01:10:45Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.
01:10:49I made a huge mistake.

01:16:47everyone misses you
01:16:49my dad
01:16:51jace
01:16:54and me
01:16:58it was wrong of me to accuse you
01:17:00of only wanting my money
01:17:02i can see that now
01:17:04i've just i've spent my whole life thinking that i had to buy love
01:17:08and i've just been hurt so many times
01:17:10it's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check
01:17:18what you told me about your parents
01:17:21and how they sacrificed everything for you
01:17:23do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden
01:17:28they lost everything they had because of me
01:17:30hey but alex don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again
01:17:34and they would do it exactly the same
01:17:36that's not sacrifice
01:17:39that's love
01:17:41i've been thinking about it a lot
01:17:44about what it means to give
01:17:46without expecting anything in return
01:17:48i can't change the fact that i've been given more than most
01:17:53but what you've taught me
01:17:56what your parents have taught me
01:17:59is that
01:18:01supporting someone
01:18:02it's not about an obligation
01:18:04or to force an outcome
01:18:07it is simply because
01:18:09you love them
01:18:12miss livingston
01:18:15you are the most
01:18:17selfless
01:18:19independent
