00:00:00I'd like to offer you an executive assistant position.
00:00:03I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:00:05Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:00:09What are you doing here?
00:00:10I work here.
00:00:11Must be a pity hire.
00:00:13Better than daddy buying my position for me.
00:00:15Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two.
00:00:18This girl is overstepping.
00:00:19You fire her and the board will find another CEO.
00:00:23I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:00:26I need you to stay.
00:00:27It's just a dance. Do not be weird about this.
00:00:29And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:00:33Right.
00:00:41I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:00:44Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:00:50It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:00:52She likes you, you know?
00:00:54She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:00:57That girl is using you, Macon.
00:00:59The only reason why she's working for you
00:01:02is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.
00:01:05I can't keep lying to him. I think I'm falling for him.
00:01:27I'm following up with New York about next month, but how do you spell rapport?
00:01:45R-A-P-P-O-R-T. Comes from the French, rapporteux.
00:01:50Bring back, as in je rapporte ces plats à la cuisine.
00:01:54I'm bringing these dishes back to the kitchen.
00:01:56Well, you can bring that little attitude of yours back there as well.
00:02:01I didn't realize they taught French at waitress school.
00:02:05I went to UC Berkeley. Heard of it?
00:02:07That's where you went.
00:02:12I'll be right back, gentlemen.
00:02:17That's R-A-P-P-O-R-T.
00:02:19Yeah, I got it.
00:02:22Here comes the smart mouth again.
00:02:24You think a hospitality major would be a little bit more hospitable?
00:02:28For your information, I studied business. Just graduated.
00:02:31Congrats on the degree. I can see things are really working out for you here.
00:02:35At least I know how to spell.
00:02:38Excuse me, I ordered this steak medium rare, and it is medium.
00:02:44I'll be with you in just a moment.
00:02:45I think I've waited long enough.
00:02:46She's busy right now. She'll be with you when she's done here.
00:02:49I can speak for myself, thank you.
00:02:54Daddy.
00:02:55One second, sweetheart. You sure about that?
00:02:58Seems like you got a little bit too much on your plate here.
00:03:06Malia, oh my god, sweetheart.
00:03:09Sweetheart, hey, dad, where are her pills?
00:03:12Lay her down.
00:03:14I got you, daddy's here. Hey, Malia.
00:03:15We need to elevate her legs and increase blood flow to the brain.
00:03:18Give her some room to breathe.
00:03:19She's my daughter, I know what's best for her.
00:03:21Clearly not, or you wouldn't be raising your voice right now.
00:03:24Now elevate her legs. I'm calling 911.
00:03:28Daddy.
00:03:29Honey, hey, okay, sit up.
00:03:33Here, it's okay.
00:03:35It's like this.
00:03:38Little sips, okay, honey?
00:03:39We're good, thanks.
00:03:44Honey, think you can stand up?
00:03:46Slow, nice and slow.
00:03:48I got you.
00:03:49Look at me.
00:03:51You okay?
00:03:52I'm taking you to see Dr. Schaffer right now to get you checked out.
00:03:55No, I'm fine.
00:03:55No buts, okay?
00:03:57Come on.
00:03:58Dad, can you take care of the bill?
00:04:00Yeah.
00:04:11Please excuse my son.
00:04:14What he meant was, thank you.
00:04:16Alex, and it's all right.
00:04:19It was a stressful situation.
00:04:21Yeah, how do you know how to handle that?
00:04:24Sometimes I faint when I get stressed out.
00:04:27Heart defect.
00:04:28I was born with it.
00:04:30Learned how to take care of myself over the years.
00:04:32Well, you shouldn't be working as a waitress with a condition like that, you know, running around all day.
00:04:36Student loans and a looming surgery I can't even begin to afford don't just pay for themselves.
00:04:47Oh my God, thank you.
00:04:49You know, there's an opening at my office.
00:04:52A little less footwork, better pay.
00:04:54Why don't you come and see me Monday morning, all right?
00:04:58We'll have a chat.
00:05:009 a.m.
00:05:03Don't be late.
00:05:14Yeah, absolutely.
00:05:15I'm getting the elevator.
00:05:16Let me call you right back.
00:05:17Okay.
00:05:29You, what are you doing here?
00:05:33I work here.
00:05:35I didn't realize the cafeteria was hiring.
00:05:38Mr. Blanford said he had a job for me.
00:05:40Must be a pity hire.
00:05:41Better than daddy buying my position for me.
00:05:45You know, you're a lot more charming in an apron, waitress.
00:05:52Your floor, by the way.
00:06:07You know what to do.
00:06:12I gotta go now.
00:06:17Hello again, Alex.
00:06:19So I'll cut right to it.
00:06:21I'd like to offer you an executive assistant position.
00:06:25I need someone to reign in our interim CEO so that he can become the leader this company needs.
00:06:31So keep him out of trouble.
00:06:34He's just overwhelmed and his ex Camilla isn't helping.
00:06:39I need you to keep her far away from him, sir.
00:06:43I appreciate the offer.
00:06:44I do but I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:06:48Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:06:52I could use someone like you, you know, you're smart.
00:06:56You're good under pressure.
00:06:59And if you don't tell him the real reason why I hired you, I'll handle all those medical bills of yours.
00:07:05What do you say?
00:07:08I say, when do I start?
00:07:12Right now.
00:07:20Alex meet Lincoln Blanford the interim CEO of Blanford Corporation.
00:07:26And your new boss her.
00:07:29Are you joking?
00:07:30I certainly am not.
00:07:32I'm still CEO for now.
00:07:34You do as I say.
00:07:46Welcome aboard.
00:07:54Let's get started.
00:07:55Did you bring your notepad from the restaurant?
00:08:03Coffee black every day within five minutes of my arrival lunch will be at 1 p.m.
00:08:10Sharp.
00:08:11No fast food.
00:08:13Are you writing this down?
00:08:16I also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from Emilio's.
00:08:20Oh.
00:08:22And stay out of my personal life.
00:08:25That'll be all for now.
00:08:27I'll give you access to my work calendar later.
00:08:35That means you can go.
00:08:44You can like Lucifer.
00:08:48His barks worse than his bite.
00:08:49Trust me.
00:08:51I'm Jace Lucifer's angelic younger brother.
00:08:55You are Alex Lincoln's new assistant.
00:08:58And it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name-calling.
00:09:03I've said worse your secret safe with me.
00:09:07Alex get in here.
00:09:09We need to roll some calls to South Korea.
00:09:12You need that coming.
00:09:19We're still evaluating the Chicago Hub closure.
00:09:22It's costing us.
00:09:24Labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times and
00:09:31shifting our operations to Detroit might create bottlenecks.
00:09:34We just can't afford right now.
00:09:36So what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate.
00:09:40I need solutions faster not more excuses people.
00:09:44We're exploring alternatives.
00:09:46Nothing definitive yet.
00:09:52Sorry to interrupt.
00:09:56But have you considered splitting freight between Detroit and Cleveland and using your
00:10:00existing rail contracts to offset the overflow?
00:10:05So what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics.
00:10:09No, but I was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while I could be off
00:10:15but Cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure.
00:10:20It wouldn't solve all of your problems, but it could keep the Detroit bottleneck from
00:10:24shutting you down entirely.
00:10:26Actually that could work worth a shot.
00:10:29I mean, obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details.
00:10:35Is there anything else I should know about my business?
00:10:38Not yet.
00:10:46You heard her.
00:10:47Let's let's move on this right away.
00:10:49That'll be all.
00:10:54Alex has to go.
00:10:55Absolutely not.
00:10:56She stays look dad.
00:10:59I understand that.
00:11:00I've been through an assistant or two seven this year.
00:11:03This girl is overstepping.
00:11:05She's jumping on executive leadership calls.
00:11:08Yes, she was right, but she is undermining me in front of my team.
00:11:11How is that supposed to strengthen my position with the board?
00:11:14So you want to fire her for being too good at her job.
00:11:18A good leader isn't threatened by his employees threatened.
00:11:22I am not threatened by her, but she makes it look like I've lost control.
00:11:26Well, the board already thinks you've lost control.
00:11:29This constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak.
00:11:35You have to keep Alex.
00:11:39What are you saying?
00:11:40You fire her and the board will find another CEO.
00:12:05Hey.
00:12:07Malia, right?
00:12:09How are you feeling better?
00:12:11Thank you for helping me the other day.
00:12:13Of course, you know, if you ever start to feel like that, you should sit down and slow your heart rate.
00:12:18The hell are you doing?
00:12:23Malia honey, why don't you get started on your homework?
00:12:26Okay.
00:12:31Your job is to help with my work and not butt into my personal life.
00:12:35From now on, I want you to leave my daughter alone.
00:12:39How about I leave you alone?
00:12:42I quit.
00:12:43Come on. It's only been a week.
00:12:45You really give it up that fast?
00:12:47You know what? Fine.
00:12:49Leave.
00:12:50Guess you're just not cut out for a big girl job.
00:12:52Are you waitress?
00:12:59Alex, hang on.
00:13:02Alex.
00:13:09Alex, wait. Alex.
00:13:15I told you to wait.
00:13:18I'm not going to stay here and subject myself to this bullshit any longer.
00:13:22I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:13:25I'll double your salary.
00:13:27I'll give you a four-day work week, whatever you want.
00:13:32Look, you can't leave, okay?
00:13:36I need you to stay.
00:13:39How about starting with an apology?
00:13:42I've been working my ass off all week doing everything you say,
00:13:45and you're still a dick to me.
00:13:48What do I have to do to please you?
00:13:52Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:13:55It's not your fault.
00:13:58I just, uh...
00:14:02Alex, hang on.
00:14:07Alex, hey.
00:14:09Alex, hey. Alex, wait.
00:14:11Hold on a second.
00:14:13Look, I don't know what came over me, okay?
00:14:16But I can't lose you.
00:14:18I promise from now on, I will clean up my act.
00:14:21No more verbal abuse?
00:14:23I didn't...
00:14:25I didn't...
00:14:27I didn't...
00:14:29I didn't...
00:14:32Fine. No more.
00:14:34And no more calling me waitress.
00:14:36It's Miss Livingston or Alex.
00:14:39Got it.
00:14:41And you said something about doubling my salary.
00:14:45Stick around for a few more months, and then we'll talk, okay?
00:14:52You won't regret it.
00:14:54Want a bag?
00:14:59Uh...
00:15:21Sorry I'm late.
00:15:23Traffic was hell.
00:15:26A menu for you, sir.
00:15:29Hi, Malia.
00:15:31Can't compete with that iPad.
00:15:34We order drinks.
00:15:38A 2005 Romanée Conti.
00:15:41Best bottle on the menu.
00:15:43It better be. It costs $15,000.
00:15:46We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:48Not until after I get board approval, huh?
00:15:51So, what did you want to talk to me about?
00:15:55Malia and I thought it would be nice
00:15:59to spend more time as a family.
00:16:02It'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...
00:16:15It's not easy for us.
00:16:18It's just...
00:16:21It's not easy for us to be around each other right now.
00:16:24Maybe...
00:16:27We could try a little harder.
00:16:36Hey.
00:16:38Just wanted to give you a status report before I head home.
00:16:41Thank you, Ms. Livingston.
00:16:44So, regarding South Korea, I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week.
00:17:01Bacon, are you listening to me?
00:17:04Sorry, as I was saying...
00:17:07Where was I?
00:17:09You can just take your top off.
00:17:11Oh my god, I meant you can just take it from the top.
00:17:19I gotta go.
00:17:31No soy sauce in this whole building?
00:17:35You're still here? That's surprising.
00:17:39You and my brother getting along better?
00:17:41Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:45So, that little argument you guys had the other day, what was that, a lover's quarrel?
00:17:51Look who's blushing.
00:17:53I am not blushing, and that wasn't a lover's quarrel.
00:17:57He doesn't like me like that.
00:17:59So he didn't run after you in the elevator and sweep you off your feet?
00:18:03Chase.
00:18:05Bacon.
00:18:07I was just talking about you.
00:18:09Lovely assistant you've got here.
00:18:11Such a sweetheart.
00:18:13Anywho, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later, Alex.
00:18:16You needed me for something?
00:18:20The company's hosting a charity fundraiser tomorrow night, and I need you to go with me.
00:18:27You need a date?
00:18:29No, what I need is my assistant close by.
00:18:32So, if you have any plans, just go ahead and cancel them.
00:18:36And here, take my card and buy yourself a dress this afternoon.
00:18:41Try to keep it under $10,000, alright?
00:18:44No problem, I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.
00:18:50Got it. Under $10,000.
00:18:54Oh, and seeing as I'm buying, I like red.
00:19:06I want to take you with me.
00:19:12I want to take you with me.
00:19:19I want to take you with me.
00:19:24I want to take you with me.
00:19:34I want to take you with me.
00:19:41I want to take you with me.
00:19:55I want to take you with me.
00:20:07I thought I said I like red.
00:20:09Did you? Oops, must've slipped my mind.
00:20:25Looks like we're almost there.
00:20:37Remember, this is a work event. The whole board's going to be there. It's easy on the drinks.
00:20:44Do as I say, not as I do.
00:21:02You ready?
00:21:15Here, here.
00:21:17Excuse me.
00:21:41So, Miss Livingston.
00:21:44I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight, and you lied to me.
00:21:51Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:57I thought only HR saw that.
00:22:00Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar. I think that's a very sweet name.
00:22:05I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.
00:22:11My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:16I see.
00:22:19I apologize. I didn't know. I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:26Hey, Alex.
00:22:31I mean it. I'm sorry.
00:22:40I think I owe you a drink. I'll be right back.
00:22:50Look at you. You look stunning.
00:22:54See the dress?
00:22:58It's gonna turn you and me straight.
00:23:00Picked it out just for you.
00:23:02It's perfect. May I have this dance, milady?
00:23:11Who are you?
00:23:13Hey, bro. Is that for me?
00:23:15Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:17And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:21Date?
00:23:22I knew it.
00:23:23Uh, my guest. You know what I mean.
00:23:25Yeah, yeah, sure. I know what you mean.
00:23:27I'll take that. I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:30Hey, Alex.
00:23:32Hey.
00:23:33Hey.
00:23:34Hey.
00:23:35Hey.
00:23:36Hey.
00:23:37Hey.
00:23:38Hey.
00:23:39Let's do it.
00:23:52It's just a dance. Do not be weird about this.
00:23:55Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:57Everyone else is dancing. It would look strange if we didn't.
00:24:01And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:07Right.
00:24:20So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:25Jase? Of course not. That was nothing.
00:24:29It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:32If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:36You're ridiculous. I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:42Well, I doubt he's interested. He's, you know...
00:24:47He's what?
00:24:50You don't know?
00:24:54Never mind. So, you guys aren't that close then?
00:24:58Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:25:02If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.
00:25:07It's important to make time for family, Lincoln.
00:25:10That's none of your concern.
00:25:13Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:18It's unprofessional.
00:25:22What, this?
00:25:24This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:28Right. A totally normal boss-slash-assistant slow dance.
00:25:33That's completely innocent.
00:25:36We're barely touching.
00:25:43Bacon.
00:25:46Dad.
00:25:48Well, some of our board members are already here. I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:53Miss Livingston?
00:25:56Shall we?
00:26:02Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:07Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:11Thank you. Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:16Oh, yes. Detroit and Cleveland. Nice work.
00:26:21And we're also improving transit times. I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:36Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:39Hi, Lincoln.
00:26:41What are you doing here?
00:26:42Just thought I'd stop by. Thought you could use some moral support.
00:26:46Where's Malia?
00:26:47I got a babysitter.
00:26:50I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:56Who's this?
00:26:58No one. Just my assistant.
00:27:02Alex. Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:07As I was saying, the transit time's in New York.
00:27:10Come on, Lincoln. Don't be a whore. It's a party.
00:27:14No one wants to talk about business. Am I right? Let's dance.
00:27:19Later. These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:22You don't mind if I steal him, do you?
00:27:33What are you doing? Are you drunk? The whole office is here.
00:27:37We never have any time together.
00:27:39And there's a reason for that, Camilla. We're not together anymore.
00:27:42You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.
00:27:45Oh, come on, Lincoln. I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
00:27:50I just... I miss you.
00:27:54And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.
00:27:58I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:28:01For old time's sake.
00:28:05One dance.
00:28:16Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Facts, Lincoln. So tense.
00:28:36I could fix that, you know.
00:28:39What are you wearing?
00:28:42I could fix that, you know.
00:28:45What do you want, hmm? And don't give me some bullshit about missing me.
00:28:49I know you. You want money, don't you?
00:28:53Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:57Malia's getting older.
00:29:00It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.
00:29:04We should be a family.
00:29:07We tried. And failed miserably.
00:29:10I want to be with you, Camilla.
00:29:12Are you sure about that?
00:29:15Camilla, don't.
00:29:17Kiss me. If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:25Stop. Jesus.
00:29:30Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:33Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:36Look at me.
00:29:38You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:41Because you know I will.
00:29:44Let me make something very clear to you.
00:29:47We are never getting back together, Camilla. You hear me?
00:29:50Ever. Now, you need to go.
00:29:53But... Right now.
00:30:08Let's go.
00:30:17Not having any fun?
00:30:25Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:33It was my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:36And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:39And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:45So it's last call, right? I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:30:48Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.
00:30:54Something funny?
00:30:58Time to go.
00:31:07Arturo.
00:31:10Take Miss Livingston home.
00:31:13You're being incredibly rude. You know that?
00:31:16You're getting wasted at a company party.
00:31:19It's totally inappropriate.
00:31:22Don't you inappropriate me. Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.
00:31:25You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:28First of all, she's my ex. And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:31I'm the CEO.
00:31:34Right. Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:31:37What, my title not good enough for you?
00:31:40Charm your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:43CEO this week, chairman the next.
00:31:46Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.
00:31:49What do you care anyway? I thought you weren't attracted to me.
00:31:52I'm not.
00:31:55Yeah? Yeah.
00:31:58Liar.
00:32:04What?
00:32:10Fucking perverts.
00:32:18Didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:21Yeah, well, there's nothing you don't know about me.
00:32:25Yeah.
00:32:31That cost $8,000.
00:32:34Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:37Now get the hell over here.
00:32:44Is that a scar?
00:32:47It's odd.
00:32:50Fuck me.
00:32:53Fuck me.
00:33:24Fuck me.
00:33:28Fuck me.
00:33:49You want to come inside?
00:33:52No.
00:33:57Right. No.
00:34:00Of course not.
00:34:03Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:08Okay.
00:34:24Morning.
00:34:27Morning.
00:34:30Morning.
00:34:36I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.
00:34:41It's not your fault. Lakin barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:44Me, Dad.
00:34:46But I've seen how he is with Malia and-
00:34:49He's a soft spot.
00:34:51Lakin's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:54Like, he needs therapy about it.
00:34:57I really messed him up.
00:35:00Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:35:03That bitch is a gold digger.
00:35:05I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.
00:35:08Took him, like, three years to come to his senses.
00:35:10And when he finally did, ooh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:15Jesus.
00:35:18Maybe it's just best to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:21It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:27Look, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:30How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:32Seven? I'll text you the details.
00:35:35Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:37Great.
00:35:57Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:36:00Dad insisted.
00:36:02Something about never getting to see Malia these days.
00:36:05I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.
00:36:08You know, like normal business partners and not-
00:36:10Family members.
00:36:12Exactly.
00:36:17Did you, uh, give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:23Grandpa, I told you it's me!
00:36:26You? Ah, you're too tall.
00:36:29You know, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.
00:36:33Anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:36Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:41Are we expecting company?
00:36:53You want me to send an extra plate?
00:37:00Alex?
00:37:01Lincoln?
00:37:02You made it!
00:37:24Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:28Me neither.
00:37:39It's okay. I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:43My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:47He's right. It is.
00:37:51Look on the bright side. At least it's not brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:38:02Thank you. That was delicious.
00:38:05Alright.
00:38:09Ms. Livingston.
00:38:11A word.
00:38:20Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:25Alex, I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:29Really?
00:38:30It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:33Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:37You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:38I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.
00:38:42Thank you, Jace. You're very welcome.
00:38:44Jace, don't.
00:38:45Bye.
00:38:47Is Disney with us?
00:38:49Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:52But I want to hang out with Alex. Please, Daddy, please.
00:39:01Works for me.
00:39:14I'll be right back.
00:39:19Get your bed.
00:39:21Come on.
00:39:45She likes you, you know?
00:40:00She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:40:04I like her, too.
00:40:11So, are we going to figure out what happened, or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:20Your job is not in danger.
00:40:24Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:30What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:33I can't get involved with my assistant, not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:40But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:48I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:50I want you, Alex. That's the problem.
00:41:00What if we separate church and state?
00:41:05At work, we're professional. But outside of work, we're...
00:41:12Unprofessional?
00:41:35Let's go. Come on.
00:41:46Let's go, Malia. Come on.
00:41:48Mom!
00:41:49Faster.
00:41:51Hey, uh, Lakin's not here right now. He just landed in New York.
00:41:56New York. I know.
00:41:58But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:42:02Going to LA. Business trip. So, she's all yours.
00:42:06Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be childcare.
00:42:10I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:14Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:18I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:24Why doesn't she want to be with me?
00:42:27Hey, hey. It's okay, Malia.
00:42:41Alex, what's going on?
00:42:43Hey, we have a problem. Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:47She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:49What?
00:42:50Let me talk to her.
00:42:56Hi, honey. Are you okay?
00:42:58Hi.
00:42:59Listen, uh, Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:43:03I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay? Everything is fine.
00:43:07I love you.
00:43:08I love you, too.
00:43:14I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:17So much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:19I'll book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:22Okay.
00:43:23Okay. Bye.
00:43:32Okay, so we'll get you fed, I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets back...
00:43:38Is that too much rice?
00:43:41I'm sorry.
00:43:43You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:50Has your mom done this before?
00:43:54Sort of.
00:43:56Sometimes she leaves me with some of her friends for a few days so she can go on work trips.
00:44:04Work trips. Huh.
00:44:07Does your dad know about this?
00:44:09I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:12She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:18I mean, shoot!
00:44:38Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:40Malia.
00:44:44I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
00:45:00Better?
00:45:04Good.
00:45:09Go order some pizza.
00:45:33Malia?
00:45:36You want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:43You can talk to me.
00:45:46Believe me, I understand.
00:45:50What do you mean?
00:45:55It's from surgery.
00:45:57I was born with a heart defect.
00:45:59Just like you.
00:46:00Really?
00:46:03I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:26Who is it?
00:46:27It's me.
00:46:33Megan.
00:46:37Hi.
00:46:39Hi.
00:46:41Can I see Malia?
00:47:01Hi.
00:47:12Daddy?
00:47:14It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here.
00:47:17Go back to sleep.
00:47:19No, stay.
00:47:23I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:25No, you stay too.
00:47:30It's alright with me.
00:47:48Where do you think you're going?
00:48:08To find Malia.
00:48:11I already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:15We're all alone.
00:48:19What about work?
00:48:23Time off for good behavior.
00:48:35Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:42It wasn't a problem.
00:48:46Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:53Let me make it up to you.
00:48:58How are you going to do that?
00:49:07Let me show you.
00:49:31You're like the name I should have.
00:49:54You know, I think more people should try co-workers with benefits.
00:50:03So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:11Not really.
00:50:15Sorry, I was just curious.
00:50:21Congenital heart defect. You don't want to hear about it. It's too much.
00:50:25Too much?
00:50:27This condition, these bills, this scar.
00:50:31My parents were incredible.
00:50:34They gave up everything for me.
00:50:36They drained their savings and what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:42And now they're gone.
00:50:45Car accident when I was a senior in high school.
00:50:49I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then...
00:50:53Alex.
00:50:54Sorry, way too much information.
00:50:57Especially from a fuck buddy. You don't even know my sob story.
00:51:04You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:51:07I know. She told me.
00:51:09Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:14Look, I've never told anybody this, but...
00:51:18Malia was born with her defect because Camilla...
00:51:22She took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out on modeling gigs.
00:51:29I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:32My God.
00:51:34It's terrible.
00:51:36Truth is, she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:40I did.
00:51:42I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:45Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:50I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:54The only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.
00:51:59Not for me, and certainly not for her daughter.
00:52:03She's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt?
00:52:07Abandoning her daughter like that?
00:52:11Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:13I want to, but it's too risky.
00:52:16The courts usually side with the mother. I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:20They don't always.
00:52:24Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:28What did she say to you?
00:52:30Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips.
00:52:34It's dangerous, and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met.
00:52:38I think you could have a case here.
00:52:40I don't know.
00:52:42I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:44Making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:47I can't do that.
00:52:49I know you want what's best for Malia.
00:52:52And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:55Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:58And if that's money, fine.
00:53:01You have it.
00:53:03Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.
00:53:06You're right.
00:53:08She deserves better.
00:53:11I will talk to her this week.
00:53:25Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:30Greedy?
00:53:32I meant breakfast.
00:53:35You can cook?
00:53:37Yes, I can.
00:53:39For the right company.
00:53:49Ta-da!
00:53:57I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:54:03Shit. Fuck. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
00:54:06It's okay. Really.
00:54:08It's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:54:14Thank you again for everything.
00:54:16I know this wasn't part of the job description.
00:54:19And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:27Right.
00:54:29Not exactly.
00:54:32He told you all of that?
00:54:34What are you, a miracle worker? A saint?
00:54:37Hardly.
00:54:40Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone?
00:54:46Cross my heart. I hope to die.
00:54:51Your dad is paying me to do this. To help Lakin.
00:54:56That's what a job is. You work for the company.
00:54:59That's what a job is. You work for the company. You know that, right?
00:55:02You don't understand.
00:55:04Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant.
00:55:10He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla by any means necessary, he said.
00:55:16Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:18Fucking like rabbits?
00:55:20Co-workers with benefits, excuse me?
00:55:24It just... it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:28Why? Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it? Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:33It won't feel like that if he finds out. He'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:37Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:40Chase, I can't keep lying to him. I think...
00:55:45I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:51So more than co-workers with benefits.
00:55:58Thanks for meeting me.
00:56:01I wanted to talk to you about...
00:56:03Your new girlfriend?
00:56:05What?
00:56:06I know all about your little sleepover.
00:56:09You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life.
00:56:14Especially that one.
00:56:16What do you mean by that one?
00:56:18Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in L.A.
00:56:22It was a work trip.
00:56:23Oh, really?
00:56:26She's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been.
00:56:29Which is actually why I'm here.
00:56:32Enough is enough.
00:56:34I want sole custody.
00:56:37This is it?
00:56:39You want to break up our family for that lying little...
00:56:42You don't want a family.
00:56:44You just want my money.
00:56:46I said I want my money.
00:56:48I said I want my money.
00:56:50You want to break up our family for that lying little...
00:56:52You don't want a family.
00:56:54You just want my money.
00:56:55I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:57You think I want money?
00:56:59How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:57:01What do you mean?
00:57:06I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:11That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:16I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:24What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:27The only reason why she's working for you...
00:57:30Is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.
00:57:36No, she wouldn't do that. That's not who she is.
00:57:39If you don't believe me, just ask your dad.
00:57:46Is it true?
00:57:48Lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:50Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:56It was for your own good.
00:57:58Do not give me that father-knows-best routine.
00:58:00This is a complete betrayal of my trust.
00:58:02Your personal issues were affecting not only the business, but our family.
00:58:06That is absurd. This has nothing to do with the company.
00:58:09You're in the business.
00:58:11That is absurd. This has nothing to do with the company.
00:58:14Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader.
00:58:20As it does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:24So what? I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?
00:58:27That is bullshit!
00:58:28My love life, your business.
00:58:30But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:58:35She's a smart girl with a good heart.
00:58:38She cares about Malia.
00:58:40She challenges you.
00:58:42She's fired.
00:58:44Thanks to you.
00:59:10What are you doing here?
00:59:13We need to talk.
00:59:16We are?
00:59:17You want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:22Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:25Because you still love her?
00:59:27God, I was so fucking stupid.
00:59:28Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:33God, Alex, I...
00:59:35I trusted you. I...
00:59:37I told you things that I've told my family.
00:59:40And this whole time...
00:59:42You were just in it for the money.
00:59:44I...
00:59:45That was before anything happened between us.
00:59:49Lincoln, I couldn't say no.
00:59:51That kind of money...
00:59:53You know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you.
00:59:55And fucking me, what? That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:59That's all I am to you? Just a transaction?
01:00:02Of course not.
01:00:05How dare you?
01:00:06Why should I believe you?
01:00:09You know, you're just like her.
01:00:12I am not like Camilla.
01:00:14Lincoln, I care about you.
01:00:16You're fired.
01:00:17And this thing between us?
01:00:19That's over too.
01:00:36Let's go.
01:00:50Let's go.
01:01:07Knock, knock, knock.
01:01:15Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:17I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:21You gonna let me in or what?
01:01:27You are out of your mind.
01:01:30Showing up here is insane.
01:01:31Like you don't fucking love it?
01:01:33I don't.
01:01:36I've changed.
01:01:37I've heard that before.
01:01:39God, it turns me on when you act like you do.
01:01:41Alright, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:44Have you left your house yet?
01:01:46Well, I'm gonna try and get my old job back,
01:01:48so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:52Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.
01:01:55You can take some time to mourn.
01:02:00I can't miss any more time on Lincoln.
01:02:03I'm so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:18What's wrong with me?
01:02:21Nothing.
01:02:22Absolutely nothing.
01:02:30I'm sorry.
01:02:32I just...
01:02:36I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:43Hey.
01:02:45Text me, okay?
01:02:47Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:52I will.
01:02:54I promise.
01:03:02I love you.
01:03:32I love you.
01:03:53Hey, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:56I used to work here.
01:03:59Hey, kid. Come on, man. Open up.
01:04:09You really need to give me a key.
01:04:13You want a drink?
01:04:14Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:16Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:28Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:32Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:35We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:38I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit?
01:04:43I don't.
01:04:44Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:47Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:50What do you care?
01:04:51She's all yours now.
01:04:53Her little deal with Dad is moot and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:56Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:05:04Yeah.
01:05:07You're always so wrapped up in your own shit you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:16I'm sorry.
01:05:19Really.
01:05:21I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:26Are you good?
01:05:31I'm good.
01:05:45Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:50But you're always flirting with her, Alex.
01:05:52I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:55She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:57She cares about you.
01:05:59A lot.
01:06:02She hated the deal.
01:06:03She hated lying to you.
01:06:06She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:10And why should I?
01:06:12Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:18Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:24Call her.
01:06:54I love you.
01:06:55I love you.
01:06:56I love you.
01:06:57I love you.
01:06:58I love you.
01:06:59I love you.
01:07:00I love you.
01:07:01I love you.
01:07:02I love you.
01:07:03I love you.
01:07:04I love you.
01:07:05I love you.
01:07:06I love you.
01:07:07I love you.
01:07:08I love you.
01:07:09I love you.
01:07:10I love you.
01:07:11I love you.
01:07:12I love you.
01:07:13I love you.
01:07:14I love you.
01:07:15I love you.
01:07:16I love you.
01:07:17I love you.
01:07:18I love you.
01:07:19I love you.
01:07:20I love you.
01:07:21I love you.
01:07:22I love you.
01:07:24I love you.
01:07:25I love you.
01:07:34Fuck him.
01:07:39So, that's $250,000 a year.
01:07:44Every year.
01:07:45Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:48So...
01:07:49Nine more years then.
01:07:50Eight!
01:07:51Eight. You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:14Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:16You don't want to say goodbye? She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:23I can't. I have a flight to Miami in an hour. Give her a kiss from me, will you?
01:08:28Good fucking riddance. I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:43It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:47I am going to speak to the board in the morning. If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a
01:08:56granddaughter to comfort.
01:09:02Congrats, bro. Let's celebrate.
01:09:13C'mon, we should be celebrating. Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:21Yeah. And now Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care
01:09:26enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:29On the positive side, Malia's all yours now. You're going to be CEO in a month. What else
01:09:34could you want? Maybe a certain little assistant to help you get custody.
01:09:41She blocked my number. And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging
01:09:46for her to take me back. That would make me look insane.
01:09:50Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:55She doesn't want to speak to me. And I don't blame her.
01:09:59Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can
01:10:02find her.
01:10:07She's working here again? Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:12Go get her.
01:10:27Hi. Ready to order? I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:38Alex.
01:10:40Lincoln? What are you doing here?
01:10:45Jace brought me. To celebrate. I won full custody.
01:10:52Congratulations.
01:10:53Yeah, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:58Alex, I want to apologize. I made a huge mistake.
01:11:04Thanks. Thank you. I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:13Oh, shit.
01:11:19You okay?
01:11:24Someone call 911! Help!
01:11:28It's okay.
01:11:35Dr. Benwick? Dr. Benwick?
01:11:46Any update?
01:11:52There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but the doctor said that she's
01:11:58in critical condition, they're going to operate tomorrow, and that her chances are 50-50.
01:12:05Jesus.
01:12:07Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress. The stress that I fucking caused her. And
01:12:16seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either. I should have just left
01:12:19her alone.
01:12:20It's not your fault, Lincoln.
01:12:23And now Alex could... she could...
01:12:25Hey, stop. Don't talk like that.
01:12:48Lincoln?
01:12:51Oh, my God, Alex, you're awake. Jesus Christ. I was so worried. I thought... I thought that
01:13:01I might have lost you.
01:13:04Thank you. I'm fine. You should leave.
01:13:10What? What are you talking about?
01:13:13Lincoln, why are you here?
01:13:15I'm here because I care about you. Because...
01:13:17Because you feel guilty. This is what you do. You throw money at your problems to make
01:13:23yourself feel better.
01:13:24No, it's not like that.
01:13:26I don't want to be your charity case, Lincoln. I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone
01:13:33again.
01:13:35You are not a burden. I don't think that.
01:13:39I'd like you to go.
01:13:47I'm sorry.
01:14:18Morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:29It's good to see you awake. You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:37I got you something.
01:14:48This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it. Where did all the flowers come from?
01:15:01It was Dad. You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out
01:15:07with Malia while Lincoln watches over you here. Dad paid for everything your insurance
01:15:11didn't cover. Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:16He shouldn't have.
01:15:18You made a deal, Alex. Dad was good for it. It's done.
01:15:23I don't deserve it.
01:15:26What are you talking about?
01:15:28Look at me, Jace. I'm literally fucking scarred. Why should I...
01:15:31Hey, Alex. You deserve love. It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:47Yeah.
01:16:04Jesus.
01:16:05Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
01:16:07Fuck.
01:16:08I'm sorry. I just... I thought you might need some help.
01:16:12Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:15Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:21Sorry. Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:25Alex, you're recovering from surgery. Let me at least help you to the side.
01:16:45Malia asks about you all the time, you know. She misses you. Everyone misses you.
01:17:02My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:09It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money. I can see that now.
01:17:15I've just... I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:19And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:21It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:29What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you...
01:17:35Do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:39They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:42Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again, they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:48That's not sacrifice. That's love.
01:17:53I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:56About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:18:01John, I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:18:06But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me,
01:18:11is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:19It is simply because you love them.
01:18:25Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:39I can't stop.
01:18:41It's true.
01:18:43And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:50Prove it? How?
01:18:55Here.
01:19:01Is that...
01:19:02Scars.
01:19:04Just like yours.
01:19:07Are those tattoos?
01:19:10I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:14I love you, Alex.
01:19:17I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:24Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:28Please.
01:19:33I love you too.
01:19:55What are you doing next week?
01:19:58I want to take you to a party.
01:20:01Another gala?
01:20:04Something like that.
01:20:06And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:09Who is it?
01:20:11You'll see.
01:20:15Who is it?
01:20:17You'll see.
01:20:24Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:30Happy birthday to you.
01:20:41What'd you wish for?
01:20:43You, mommy.
01:20:46One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:52I got you something.
01:20:55It might not be the biggest present you get, but I think you'll like it.
01:21:00I have one too.
01:21:03Just like you.
01:21:13I love you.
01:21:43I love you.
