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 boy 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?
00:00:31No.
00:00:39I 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
00:01:02if she kept you away from me.
00:01:03I can't keep lying to him.
00:01:05I think I'm falling for him.
00:01:06Um...

00:07:44welcome aboard
00:07:51let's get started
00:07:52did you bring your notepad from the restaurant
00:08:01coffee
00:08:01black
00:08:02every day within five minutes of my arrival
00:08:05lunch will be at 1pm sharp
00:08:08no fast food
00:08:10are you writing this down
00:08:13i also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from amelio's
00:08:17oh
00:08:19and stay out of my personal life
00:08:22that'll be all for now
00:08:24i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:32that means you can go
00:08:34that means you can go
00:08:51your brother
00:08:52you are
00:08:53alex lincoln'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
00:09:01i've said worse
00:09:01your secret's safe with me
00:09:05alex
00:09:05get in here
00:09:06we need to roll some calls to south korea
00:09:09you're gonna need that
00:09:12coming
00:09:15we'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
00:09:37i need solutions faster not more excuses people
00:09:40we're exploring alternatives
00:09:43nothing definitive yet
00:09:48um sorry to interrupt
00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow
00:10:02so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:06uh 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
00:10:17it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely
00:10:23actually that could work
00:10:25worth a shot
00:10:26i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it
00:10:29and sort out the details
00:10:32is there anything else i should know about my business
00:10:35not yet
00:10:41uh
00:10:43you heard her
00:10:44let's uh let's move on this right away

00:11:04yes 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
00:11:14like a good leader isn't threatened by his employees
00:11:17threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control
00:11:22well the board already thinks you've lost control
00:11:24this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak
00:11:31you have to keep alex
00:11:35what are you saying
00:11:37you fire her and the board will find another ceo

00:21:24Okay.
00:21:24All right.
00:21:36So, Ms. Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight, and you lied to me.
00:21:46Your 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 man.
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.
00:22:14I apologize. I didn't know. I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:20Hey. Alex.
00:22:26I mean it. I'm sorry.
00:22:34I think I owe you a drink. I'll be right back.
00:22:45Look 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.
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:58Picked it out just for you.
00:23:02Picked it out just for you.
00:23:02We always wanna put a camera in touch.
00:23:06It's just the way I've never let me go.
00:23:09Why do we feel like we're not good enough?
00:23:13Why don't we lose all of this camera in touch?
00:23:17For 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.
00:23:27Date?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29My guest.
00:23:30You know what I mean.
00:23:31Yeah, sure. I know what you mean.
00:23:32I'll take that. I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:47It's just a dance.
00:23:48Do not be weird about this.
00:23:50Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:52Everyone else is dancing.
00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:55And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right.
00:24:16So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:20Chase?
00:24:21Of course not. That was nothing.
00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:26If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:30Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:31I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's, you know.
00:24:42He's what?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind.
00:24:51So, you guys aren't that close then?
00:24:53Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:24:56If 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.
00:25:16What? This?
00:25:18This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:22Right.
00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.
00:25:27It's completely innocent.
00:25:31They're rarely touching.
00:25:37Lincoln.
00:25:40Dad.
00:25:42Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:47Miss Livingston?
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:56Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:01Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:07Miss 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.
00:26:34I like it.
00:26:35What are you doing here?
00:26:37I just thought I'd stop by.
00:26:38I thought you could use the moral support.
00:26:41Where's Malia?
00:26:42I got a babysitter.
00:26:44I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:50Who's this?
00:26:52No one.
00:26:53Just my assistant.
00:26:56Alex.
00:26:58Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:02As I was saying, the transit times in New York, I really...
00:27:05Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:06Don't be a poor.
00:27:07It's a party.
00:27:08No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:10Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:13Maybe later.
00:27:14These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:28What are you doing?
00:27:29Are you drunk?
00:27:31The 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 all time's sake.
00:28:00One dance.
00:28:17Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Flax, Lincoln.
00:28:35So tense.
00:28:36We 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 should be a family.
00:29:02We tried.
00:29:02And failed miserably.
00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:10Camilla, don't.
00:29:11Kiss me.
00:29:12If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:19Stop.
00:29:20Jesus.
00:29:24Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:28Lincoln, 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.
00:30:12Not having any fun?
00:30:20Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:28This is 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.
00:30:45Oh, my God.
00:30:46Stop.
00:30:49Something funny?
00:30:54Time to go.
00:30:59It's okay.
00:31:07Arturo.
00:31:09Took 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.
00:31:21You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:22Okay, first of all, she's my ex.
00:31:24And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:27I'm a CEO.
00:31:29Interrupt.
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?
00:31:35Charming 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.
00:31:45I'm not.
00:31:48Oh, yeah?
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:51Liar.
00:32:13I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:16Yeah, well, there's a lot.
00:32:17You don't know about me.
00:32:20Okay.
00:32:26That cost $8,000.
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.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:32:53Fuck me.
00:33:03Fuck me.
00:33:05Fuck you.
00:33:05Come on.
00:33:09Fuck you.
00:33:13Don't let this go too late
00:33:44You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:48Uh, no
00:33:52Right, no, of course not
00:33:59Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday
00:34:20Morning
00:34:21Morning
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, Lincoln 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
00:34:46Lincoln's got some serious trust issues
00:34:48Like, he needs therapy about it
00:34:51Camilla really messed him up
00:34:54Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:57That 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
00:35:04And when he finally did, oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus
00:35:12Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot
00:35:22Look, I gotta run to a meeting
00:35:25How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details
00:35:31Yeah, I'm down
00:35:32Great
00:35:52Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner
00:35:55Dad insisted
00:35:57Something about never getting to see Malia these days
00:36:00I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office
00:36:03You know, like normal business partners and not
00:36:06Family members
00:36:07Exactly
00:36:12Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me
00:36:21You?
00:36:22Ah, you're too tall
00:36:23No, my Malia, last time I saw her
00:36:25She was just about my knee high
00:36:27Has anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm, because this little woman is an imposter
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:47Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:54Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57Who made it?
00:37:21Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex
00:37:25Me neither
00:37:36It's okay
00:37:37I don't like asparagus either
00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it
00:37:41Because it's healthy for me
00:37:43He's right
00:37:45It is
00:37:46Look on the bright side
00:37:47At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:53Hmm
00:37:53Hmm
00:37:57Thank you
00:37:58That was delicious
00:38:00All right
00:38:04Miss Livingston
00:38:07A word
00:38:14Uh, Mr. Blainford
00:38:16About 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
00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing
00:38:32You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone
00:38:37Thank you, Jace
00:38:38You're very welcome
00:38:39Jace, don't
00:38:39Bye-bye
00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:47But I want to hang out with Alex
00:38:49Please, Daddy
00:38:50Please
00:38:56Works for me
00:39:09I'll be right back
00:39:11Bye
00:39:11Bye-bye
00:39:13I think you're better
00:39:16Come on
00:39:17Ah.
00:39:53She 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?
00:40:10Or 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 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.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:55What if we separate church and state?
00:41:01At work, we're professional.
00:41:05But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:09Unprofessional?
00:41:11Unprofessional.
00:41:26Unprofessional?
00:41:33Unprofessional?
00:41:40Yeah.
00:41:42Come on, Malia, come on.
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster!
00:41:46Hey, uh, Lincoln'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.
00:41:57Going 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.
00:42:09Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:12Mmm.
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.
00:42:38Alex, what's going on?
00:42:39Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:40Um, Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:43She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:45What?
00:42:46Let 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.
00:43:10I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this, so much for that family time she went.
00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:20Okay.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:28Okay, so we'll get you fed, I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets
00:43:32back...
00:43:34Is that too much rice?
00:43:36I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:45Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of.
00:43:51Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work trips.
00:44:00Work trips.
00:44:01Huh.
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!
00:44:33Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:36Malia.
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:41I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Derp.
00:45:00Good.
00:45:04How will we order some pizza?
00:45:09oh
00:45:29Malia
00:45:32Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:39You can talk to me
00:45:42Believe me, I understand
00:45:46What do you mean?
00:45:51It's from surgery
00:45:53I was born with a heart defect
00:45:55Just like you
00:45:56Really?
00:46:00I didn't know anyone was like me
00:46:22Who is it?
00:46:24It's me
00:46:31Lincoln
00:46:34Hi
00:46:36Hi
00:46:38Uh, can I see Malia?
00:47:07Yeah
00:47:08Daddy
00:47:10It's okay, sweetie
00:47:11I'm right here
00:47:13Go back to sleep
00:47:15Oh, stay
00:47:18I can sleep on the couch
00:47:21No, you stay too
00:47:26It's alright with me
00:47:39Yeah
00:47:40No
00:47:40No
00:47:41No
00:47:41No
00:47:42No
00:47:51No
00:47:54No
00:47:56No
00:47:57No
00:47:59No
00:48:02Where do you think you're going?
00:48:05To find Malia.
00:48:07I already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:11We're all alone.
00:48:15What about work?
00:48:19Time off for good behavior.
00:48:31Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:38It wasn't a problem.
00:48:42Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:49Let me make it up to you.
00:48:55How are you going to do that?
00:48:59I don't know if I can take it.
00:49:01Must be a monster in my life.
00:49:03Let me show you.
00:49:05Lately feels like I've been faking.
00:49:08Think there's a stranger here instead.
00:49:11There you have it.
00:49:13That night.
00:49:15Am I awake?
00:49:17I'm gonna escape this.
00:49:19Home.
00:49:21Time.
00:49:22The ever-stranger.
00:49:25Let's run away.
00:49:27You're like the neighbors.
00:49:29Save me.
00:49:31Somewhere away from all these nightmares.
00:49:34Where nobody can find me.
00:49:38Let's run away.
00:49:41Let's run away from all the pain.
00:49:44You know, I think more people should try coworkers with benefits.
00:50:00So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:08Not really.
00:50:12Sorry, I, um, I was just curious.
00:50:18Congenital heart defect.
00:50:19You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:20It's too much.
00:50:21Too much?
00:50:23This condition, this condition, these bills, this scar.
00:50:27My parents were incredible.
00:50:30They gave up everything for me.
00:50:32They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life
00:50:37normal.
00:50:38And now they're gone.
00:50:41Car accident.
00:50:42When I was a senior in high school.
00:50:45I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:50Alex.
00:50:51Sorry, way too much information.
00:50:54Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:55You don't need to know my sob story.
00:51:00You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:51:03I know.
00:51:04She told me.
00:51:06Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:10Look, I've never told anybody this, but...
00:51:14Malia was born with her defect because Camilla...
00:51:19She took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out on modeling gigs.
00:51:25I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:28Oh my god.
00:51:30It's terrible.
00:51:33Truth is...
00:51:34She never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:36I did.
00:51:38I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:42Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:47I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:50And the only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.
00:51:55Not for me, and certainly not for her daughter.
00:51:59You know, she's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt, abandoning her daughter like that, it's...
00:52:07Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:10I want to, but it's too risky.
00:52:12I mean, the courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:15I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:17They don't always.
00:52:21Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:25What did she say to you?
00:52:27Camilla 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.
00:52:34But, I think you could have a case here.
00:52:36I don't know.
00:52:38I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:40I mean, making 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.
00:52:52Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:54And 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.
00:53:04Malia deserves better.
00:53:07I will talk to her this week.
00:53:22Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:26Greedy?
00:53:28I meant breakfast.
00:53:31You can cook?
00:53:32Yes, I can.
00:53:35For the right company.
00:53:45Ta-da!
00:53:54I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:54:00Shit.
00:54:00Fuck.
00:54:00I'm sorry.
00:54:01I didn't mean to.
00:54:03It's okay.
00:54:05Really, it's...
00:54:06It's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:54:11Thank you again for everything.
00:54:13I know this wasn't part of the job description.
00:54:16And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:24Great.
00:54:26Not exactly.
00:54:32He told you all of that?
00:54:33What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:35A saint?
00:54:37Hardly.
00:54:39Look.
00:54:41If I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:46Cross my inner hope to die.
00:54:51Your dad is paying me to do this, to help Lakin.
00:54:56That's what a job is.
00:54:57You work for the company.
00:54:58You know that, right?
00:54:59You don't understand.
00:55:00Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck
00:55:06it out as Lakin's assistant.
00:55:08He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:55:10By any means necessary, he said.
00:55:14Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits.
00:55:18Coworkers with benefits?
00:55:19Excuse me?
00:55:21It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:25Why?
00:55:25Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:28Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:30It won't feel like that if he finds out.
00:55:32He'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:34Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:37Chase, I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:39I think...
00:55:42I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:47So more than co-workers with benefits.
00:55:58Thanks 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 before 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 L.A.
00:56:21It was a work trip.
00:56:32She's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been.
00:56:36Which is actually why I'm here.
00:56:39Enough is enough.
00:56:41I once sold custody.
00:56:43So this is it?
00:56:46You want to break up our family for that lying little...
00:56:49You don't want a family.
00:56:50You just want my money.
00:56:51I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:53You think I want money?
00:56:56How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:58What do you mean?
00:57:03I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:08That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:15I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:21What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:24The only reason why she's working for you...
00:57:27...is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if 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, just 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 in does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:21So what?
00:58:21I 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.
00:58:27Yes, but 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.
00:58:40She's fired.
00:58:41Thanks to you.
00:59:07What are you doing here?
00:59:10We need to talk.
00:59:13Oh yeah?
00:59:14You want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:19Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:21Because you still love her?
00:59:23God, I'm so fucking stupid.
00:59:25Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:29God, Alex, I...
00:59:31I trusted you.
00:59:33I...
00:59:33I told you things that I've never even told my family.
00:59:36And this whole time...
00:59:38You were just in it for the money.
00:59:41I...
00:59:42That was before anything happened between us.
00:59:45Lakin, I couldn't say no.
00:59:47That kind of money...
00:59:49You know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you.
00:59:52And fucking me, what?
00:59:53That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:56That's all I am to you?
00:59:57Just a transaction?
00:59:58Of course not.
01:00:01How dare you?
01:00:03Why should I believe you?
01:00:06You know, you're just like her.
01:00:09I am not like Camilla.
01:00:11Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:13You're fired.
01:00:14And this thing between us?
01:00:16That's over too.
01:00:33Let's go.
01:01:11Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:13I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:16I'm sorry.
01:01:17You're gonna 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.
01:01:33I've heard that before.
01:01:36God, 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 gonna try and get my old job back, so I'll probably be out of the house five days
01:01:46a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same days a lot.
01:01:51You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:55I can't waste any more time on Lakin.
01:01:59I was so stupid thinking you actually cared about me.
01:02:15What's wrong with me?
01:02:16Nothing.
01:02:19Nothing.
01:02:20Absolutely nothing.
01:02:26I'm sorry.
01:02:28I just...
01:02:33I think I'm gonna be alone tonight.
01:02:39Hey.
01:02:42Text me, okay?
01:02:44Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:48I will.
01:02:50I promise.
01:02:51I'll be right back.
01:03:49I'll be right back.
01:03:51You know I'm gonna find for a job?
01:03:52I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, kid.
01:03:55Come on, man.
01:03:55Open up.
01:04:05You really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12So I can cabinet to the left.
01:04:22Heard 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
01:04:37I don't
01:04:37Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way
01:04:43What do you care?
01:04:45She's all yours now
01:04:46Her little deal with dad is mute
01:04:48And now you two can finally be together
01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lincoln, I'm gay
01:04:56Yeah
01:04:59You're always so wrapped up in your own shit
01:05:00You never thought to ask your brother about his own life
01:05:07I'm sorry
01:05:10Really
01:05:13I can't believe I didn't
01:05:17Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good
01:05:37Suddenly so many things make sense to me now
01:05:42But you're always flirting with her
01:05:43I was trying to light a fire under your ass
01:05:47She's a good person
01:05:48Lincoln
01:05:49She cares about you
01:05:51A lot
01:05:54She hated the deal
01:05:55She hated lying to you
01:05:58She knew you wouldn't trust her
01:06:02And why should I?
01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla
01:06:11Look, it's not too late to make it right
01:06:16Call her
01:06:23She's positive
01:06:24I'm good
01:06:30I got it
01:06:44I was able to talk to her
01:07:27Fuck 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.
01:07:44You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:05Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:12You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:13She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:15I can't.
01:08:16I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:18Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:30Good 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.
01:08:40All right?
01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me,
01:08:46I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:53Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:09:06Come on.
01:09:07We should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:14And now Malia has to live the rest of her life,
01:09:16knowing 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?
01:09:28Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody.
01:09:32She blocked my number.
01:09:34And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees,
01:09:37begging for her to take me back.
01:09:39It 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,
01:09:52but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:58She's working here again?
01:10:01Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:18Hi.
01:10:19Ready to order?
01:10:20I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:28Oh.
01:10:29Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:33Uh, what are you doing here?
01:10:36Uh, Jace brought me to celebrate.
01:10:41I'm in full custody.
01:10:43Congratulations.
01:10:45Yeah, I, um,
01:10:47I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:49Uh.
01:10:50Alex, I, um,
01:10:52I want to apologize.
01:10:54I made a huge mistake.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:57I, I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:02Come on.
01:11:04Oh, shit.

01:16:50she misses you
01:16:52everyone misses you
01:16:54my dad
01:16:56jace
01:16:59and me
01:17:03it was wrong of me to accuse you
01:17:05of only wanting my money
01:17:06i can see that now
01:17:09i'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
01:17:14it's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check
01:17:23what 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
01:17:32they lost everything they had because of me
01:17:35hey but alex don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again
01:17:38and they would do it exactly the same
01:17:41that's not sacrifice
01:17:44that's love
01:17:46i've been thinking about it a lot
01:17:49about what it means to give without expecting anything in return
01:17:53i can't change the fact that i've been given more than most
01:17:58but what you've taught me
01:18:00what your parents have taught me
01:18:03is that
01:18:06supporting someone
01:18:07it's not about an obligation
01:18:08or to force an outcome
01:18:11it is simply because
01:18:13you love them
01:18:17miss livingston
01:18:19you are the most
01:18:22selfless
