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 war will find another CEO.
00:00:23I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:00:25I need you to stay.
00:00:27It's just a dance.
00:00:28Do 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.
00:00:56That girl is using you, Lincoln.
00:00:59The only reason why she's working for you
00:01:01is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills
00:01:04if she kept you away from me.
00:01:05I can't keep lying to him.
00:01:07I think I'm falling for him.
00:01:09I'm fine.
00:01:17I just want you.
00:01:19I'll because my kid tells you
00:01:25don't have to be free.
00:01:27I have to wear the mask and put me free.
00:01:28So that we can.
00:01:30You have to walk through some things.
00:01:30I don't want to walk through some of those folks,
00:01:32but we have to get a little happy room.
00:01:34If it says the other heart is so hunty,
00:01:35it's so that you're going to be free.
00:01:37I'm following up with New York about next month, but, uh, how do you spell rapport?
00:01:45R-A-P-P-O-R-T comes from the French rapport to bring back, as in je rapport ses plats à la cousine,
00:01:53and 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.
00:02:03I went to UC Berkeley. Heard of it?
00:02:07That's where you went.
00:02:12I'll be right back, gentlemen.
00:02:16That's R-A-P-P-O-R-T.
00:02:20Yeah, I got it.
00:02:21Here comes the smart mouth again.
00:02:23You'd 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.
00:02:54One second, sweetheart.
00:02:56You 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 our pills?
00:03:10Here.
00:03:10Hey, come here.
00:03:12Lay her down.
00:03:13I got you. Daddy's here. Hey, Malia.
00:03:15We need to elevate her legs and increase blood flow to the brain.
00:03:18It's okay.
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 her voice right now.
00:03:23Now 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, you 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?
00:03:51I'm taking you to see Dr. Schaffer right now to get you checked out.
00:03:54No, I'm fine.
00:03:55No butts.
00:03:56Okay?
00:03:57Come on.
00:03:58Dad, can you take care of the bill?
00:04:00No.
00:04:00Please excuse my son.
00:04:14What he meant was, thank you.
00:04:16Alex.
00:04:17And it's all right.
00:04:19It was a stressful situation.
00:04:20Yeah, how do you know how to handle that?
00:04:23Sometimes I faint when I get stressed out.
00:04:27Heart defect.
00:04:28I was born with it.
00:04:29Learned how to take care of myself over the years.
00:04:31Well, you shouldn't be working as a waitress with a condition like that.
00:04:34You 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.
00:04:42Oh, my God.
00:04:49You know, there's an opening at my office.
00:04:52Less footwork, better pay.
00:04:54Why don't you come and see me?
00:04:57Monday morning, all right?
00:04:58We'll have a chat.
00:05:009 a.m.
00:05:03And don't be late.
00:05:04Yeah, absolutely.
00:05:15I'm getting in the elevator.
00:05:16Let me call you right back.
00:05:17Okay.
00:05:29You.
00:05:30What are you doing here?
00:05:33I work here.
00:05:35I didn't realize the cafeteria was hiring.
00:05:37Mr. 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.
00:05:53You know what to do.
00:06:11I gotta go now.
00:06:13All right.
00:06:13Hello again, Alex.
00:06:18So I'll cut right to it.
00:06:21I'd like to offer you an executive assistant position.
00:06:24I need someone to rein in our interim CEO so that he can become the leader this company needs.
00:06:31So, keep him out of trouble?
00:06:33No, he's just overwhelmed.
00:06:36And his ex, Camilla, isn't helping.
00:06:39I need you to keep her far away from him.
00:06:41Sir, I appreciate the offer.
00:06:43I do, but I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:06:48Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:06:51I could use someone like you.
00:06:53You know, you're smart.
00:06:56You're good and under pressure.
00:06:57And 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.
00:07:17Hmm.
00:07:20Alex, meet Lakin Blanford, the interim CEO of Blanford Corporation.
00:07:25And you're a new boss.
00:07:28Her?
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.
00:07:52Hmm.
00:07:53Let's get started.
00:07:55Did you bring your notepad from the restaurant?
00:08:03Coffee.
00:08:04Black.
00:08:05Every day within five minutes of my arrival.
00:08:08Lunch will be at 1 p.m. sharp.
00:08:11No fast food.
00:08:13Are you writing this down?
00:08:15I also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from Emilio's.
00:08:19Oh.
00:08:21And stay out of my personal life.
00:08:23That'll be all for now.
00:08:26I'll give you access to my work calendar later.
00:08:28That means you can go.
00:08:36That means you can go.
00:08:36I can.
00:08:44I like Lucifer.
00:08:47His bark's worse than his bite.
00:08:49Trust me.
00:08:51I'm Jace.
00:08:52Lucifer's angelic younger brother.
00:08:54You are?
00:08:56Alex.
00:08:56Lincoln's new assistant.
00:08:57And, uh, it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling.
00:09:03I've said worse.
00:09:04Your secret's safe with me.
00:09:07Alex.
00:09:08Get in here.
00:09:09We need to roll some calls to South Korea.
00:09:11You're gonna need that.
00:09:14Coming.
00:09:14Coming.
00:09:14We'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.
00:09:30And shifting our operations to Detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford right now.
00:09:36So what?
00:09:37We're just gonna bleed cash while you evaluate?
00:09:38I need solutions faster, not more excuses, people.
00:09:44We're exploring alternatives.
00:09:46Nothing definitive yet.
00:09:50Um, sorry to interrupt.
00:09:55But have you considered splitting freight between Detroit and Cleveland and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow?
00:10:03Huh.
00:10:05So what, you're now an expert in freight logistics?
00:10:07Uh, no, but I was looking over last quarter's regional expense report.
00:10:14Well, it could be off, but 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 shutting you down entirely.
00:10:26Actually, that could work.
00:10:28Worth a shot.
00:10:29I mean, obviously, my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details.
00:10:34Is there anything else I should know about my business?
00:10:37Not yet.
00:10:44Uh, you heard her.
00:10:47Let's, uh, let's move on this right away.
00:10:49That'll be all.
00:10:50Alex has to go.
00:10:55Absolutely not.
00:10:56She stays.
00:10:58Look, Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two of them.
00:11:02Seven this year.
00:11:03This girl is overstepping.
00:11:05She's jumping on executive leadership calls.
00:11:08Yes, she was right.
00:11:08But 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?
00:11:18Lincoln.
00:11:18A good leader isn't threatened by his employees.
00:11:21Threatened?
00:11:22I am not threatened by her.
00:11:24But 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.
00:11:38What are you saying?
00:11:40You fire her and the board will find another CEO.
00:11:43Hey, Malia, right?
00:12:09How are you feeling?
00:12:10Better.
00:12:11Thank you for helping me the other day.
00:12:13Of course.
00:12:14You know, if you ever start to feel like that, you should sit down and slow your heart rate.
00:12:18What the hell are you doing?
00:12:23Malia, honey, why don't you get started on your homework, okay?
00:12:31Your job is to help with my work, not butt into my personal life.
00:12:34I was just trying...
00:12:35From now on, I want you to leave my daughter alone.
00:12:39How about I leave you alone, huh?
00:12:42I quit.
00:12:43Come on, it's only been a week.
00:12:44You really giving up that fast?
00:12:47You know what?
00:12:48Fine.
00:12:49Leave.
00:12:50Guess you're just not cut out for a big girl job, are you, waitress?
00:12:53Huh.
00:12:59Alex, hang on.
00:13:03Alice!
00:13:03Alex, wait.
00:13:10Alex!
00:13:10Alex!
00:13:15I told you to wait.
00:13:17I'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.
00:13:24I'll double your salary.
00:13:26I'll give you a four-day work week, whatever you want.
00:13:32Look, you can't leave, okay?
00:13:35I need you to stay.
00:13:36How about starting with an apology?
00:13:41I've been working my ass off all week doing everything you say, and you're still a dick to me.
00:13:47What do I have to do to please you?
00:13:52Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:13:54It's not your fault.
00:13:55I just, uh...
00:14:02Alex, hang on.
00:14:14Alex, hey.
00:14:16Alex, hey, Alex, wait one second.
00:14:20Look, I don't know what came over me, okay?
00:14:22But I can't lose you.
00:14:24I promise from now on, I will clean up my act.
00:14:28No more verbal abuse?
00:14:29I didn't...
00:14:31Fine.
00:14:34No more.
00:14:35And no more calling me waitress.
00:14:37It's Miss Livingston or Alex.
00:14:40Got it.
00:14:42And you said something about doubling my salary.
00:14:46Stick around for a few more months, and then we'll talk, okay?
00:14:48You won't regret it.
00:14:55Want a bag?
00:14:55Sorry I'm late.
00:15:22Traffic was hell.
00:15:26A menu for you, sir.
00:15:32Hi, Malia.
00:15:33Can't compete with that iPad.
00:15:36We order drinks.
00:15:37A 2005 Roman A. Conti.
00:15:43Best bottle on the menu.
00:15:45It better be.
00:15:46It costs $15,000.
00:15:48We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:50Not until after I get port approval.
00:15:52So, what did you want to talk to me about?
00:16:01Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:16:07It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:16:12Malia, honey, you and I talked about this, right?
00:16:15Your mother and I love you very much.
00:16:18It's just...
00:16:20It's not easy for us to be around each other right now.
00:16:25Maybe.
00:16:28We could try a little harder.
00:16:29Hey.
00:16:38I just wanted to give you a status report before I head home.
00:16:41Thank you, Ms. Livingston.
00:16:45So, regarding South Korea, I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week.
00:16:48I'm working with you.
00:17:02Macon, are you listening to me?
00:17:06Sorry.
00:17:07As I was saying, where was I?
00:17:09You can just take your top off.
00:17:12Oh, my God.
00:17:12I meant you can just take it from the top.
00:17:18I got to go.
00:17:31No soy sauce in this whole building?
00:17:35They're still here.
00:17:36That's surprising.
00:17:39You and my brother are getting along better?
00:17:41Yeah, everything is just peachy.
00:17:46So, that little argument you guys had the other day,
00:17:48what was that?
00:17:48A lover's quarrel?
00:17:51Look who's blushing.
00:17:54I 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
00:18:02and sweep you off your feet?
00:18:04Chase.
00:18:06Lakin.
00:18:08So, we were just talking about you.
00:18:09Lovely assistant you've got here.
00:18:11Such a sweetheart.
00:18:13Anywho, I got to go.
00:18:14I'll talk to you later, Alex.
00:18:14You needed me for something?
00:18:20The company's hosting a charity fundraiser tomorrow night,
00:18:24and I need you to go with me.
00:18:27You need a date?
00:18:29No.
00:18:29What I need is my assistant close by.
00:18:32So, if you have any plans, just go ahead and cancel them.
00:18:37And here.
00:18:37Take my card and buy yourself a dress this afternoon.
00:18:42Try to keep it under $10,000, all right?
00:18:44No problem.
00:18:45I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.
00:18:51Got it.
00:18:52Under $10,000.
00:18:55Oh.
00:18:56And seeing as I'm buying,
00:18:58I like red.
00:19:00I like red.
00:19:01I like red.
00:19:01I like red.

00:19:26I like red.
00:19:27I like red.
00:19:28I like red.
00:19:29I like red.
00:20:00I thought I said I like red.
00:20:10Did you?
00:20:11Oops.
00:20:13I lost a slip of my mind.
00:20:28Looks like we're almost there.
00:20:30Remember, this is a work event.
00:20:41The whole board's going to be there.
00:20:43It's easy on the drinks.
00:20:44Do as I say, not as I do.
00:21:00You ready?
00:21:03I'll see.
00:21:04Do as I say, not as I say, not as I do.
00:21:15I love you.
00:21:19So, Ms. Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight,
00:21:47and you lied to me.
00:21:52Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:57I thought only HR saw that.
00:22:00Oh, don't be embarrassed, Sugar.
00:22:04I think that's a very sweet name.
00:22:06I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.
00:22:12My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:17I see.
00:22:20I apologize.
00:22:21I didn't know.
00:22:23I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:26Hey, Alex, I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:40I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:43I'll be right back.
00:22:51Look at you.
00:22:52You look stunning.
00:22:55See the dress?
00:22:59This could turn even me straight.
00:23:01I picked it out just for you.
00:23:02It's perfect.
00:23:03May I have this dance, m'lady?
00:23:08We always wanna put a camouflage.
00:23:11It's just the way of love and love you've got.
00:23:15Why do we feel like we're not good enough?
00:23:19Why don't we lose all of this camouflage?
00:23:23For you.
00:23:24Hey, bro.
00:23:25Is that for me?
00:23:26Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:28And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:32Dane?
00:23:33I knew it.
00:23:34Uh, my guest.
00:23:35You know what I mean.
00:23:36Yeah, sure.
00:23:37I know what you mean.
00:23:38I'll take that.
00:23:39I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:52It's just a dance.
00:23:53Do not be weird about this.
00:23:55Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:57Everyone else is dancing.
00:23:58It would look strange if we didn't.
00:24:00And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:07Right.
00:24:08So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:25Jase?
00:24:26Of course not.
00:24:27That was nothing.
00:24:28It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:30If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:35Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:37I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:41Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:42He's, you know.
00:24:43He's what?
00:24:44You don't know?
00:24:45Never mind.
00:24:46So, you guys aren't that close then?
00:24:47Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:24:49If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.
00:24:51It's important to make time for family, Lincoln.
00:24:52That's none of your concern.
00:24:53Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:24:54It's unprofessional.
00:24:55It's unprofessional.
00:24:56What?
00:24:57This?
00:25:10This?
00:25:11That'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.
00:25:33It's completely innocent.
00:25:36They're rarely touching.
00:25:41Lakin.
00:25:46Dad.
00:25:48Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:51And you can make your rounds.
00:25:53Miss Livingston?
00:25:55Shall we?
00:26:01Well, 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, Lakin.
00:26:13Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:16Oh, yes.
00:26:18Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:19Nice work.
00:26:21Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:24I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:25Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:39Lakin.
00:26:41What are you doing here?
00:26:42I just thought I'd stop by.
00:26:44I thought you could use the moral support.
00:26:46Where's Malia?
00:26:47I got a babysitter.
00:26:48I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:56Who's this?
00:26:58Uh, no one.
00:26:59Just, uh, my assistant.
00:27:02Alex.
00:27:04Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:05As I was saying, the transit times in New York, I really...
00:27:10Oh, come on, Lakin.
00:27:12Don't be a poor.
00:27:13It's a party.
00:27:14No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:16Am I right?
00:27:17Let's dance.
00:27:19Maybe later.
00:27:20These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:22You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:24What are you doing?
00:27:35Are you drunk?
00:27:36The whole office is here.
00:27:37You never have any time together.
00:27:39And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:27:41We're not together anymore.
00:27:42You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.
00:27:46Oh, come on, Lakin.
00:27:48I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
00:27:50I just...
00:27:51I 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.
00:28:11Thanks.
00:28:22Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:24Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:29I know you miss this.
00:28:35This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:39Facts, Lakin.
00:28:40So tense.
00:28:42I could fix that, you know.
00:28:43What do you want?
00:28:45What do you want, hmm?
00:28:47And don't give me some bullshit about missing me.
00:28:49I know you.
00:28:51You want money, don't you?
00:28:53Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:56Malia's getting older.
00:28:57Malia is getting older.
00:29:00It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with our situation.
00:29:04We should be a family.
00:29:06We tried.
00:29:08And failed miserably.
00:29:10I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:12Are you sure about that?
00:29:15Camilla, don't.
00:29:17Kiss me.
00:29:17If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:25Stop.
00:29:26Jesus.
00:29:26Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:33Lakin, are you listening to me?
00:29:36Look at me.
00:29:38You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:40Because you know I will.
00:29:44Let me make something very clear to you.
00:29:47We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:29:49You hear me?
00:29:50Ever.
00:29:51Now, you need to go.
00:29:53But...
00:29:53Right now.
00:29:56Not having any fun?
00:30:18No.
00:30:19Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:34It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:37And 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 the last call, right?
00:30:47I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:30:49Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.
00:30:50Oh my God.
00:30:52Stop.
00:30:54Something funny?
00:30:59Time to go.
00:31:00It's okay.
00:31:12Arturo.
00:31:14Took Miss Livingston home.
00:31:15You're being incredibly rude.
00:31:17You know that?
00:31:18You're getting wasted at a company party.
00:31:21It's totally inappropriate.
00:31:23Don't you inappropriate me.
00:31:24Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.
00:31:26You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:27Hey, first of all, she's my ex.
00:31:30And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:32I'm a CEO.
00:31:34Interrupt.
00:31:35Right.
00:31:36Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:31:39What, my title not good enough for you?
00:31:41Charm your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:43CEO this week, chairman the next.
00:31:45Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.
00:31:48What do you care anyway?
00:31:49I thought you weren't attracted to me.
00:31:51I'm not.
00:31:53Oh yeah?
00:31:55Yeah.
00:31:55Liar.
00:32:11Fucking buns.
00:32:19Didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:21Yeah, I was.
00:32:22You don't know about me.
00:32:25That cost $8,000.
00:32:33Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:37Now get the hell over here.
00:32:44Is that a scar?
00:32:47It's hot.
00:32:51Fuck me.
00:32:52I met you.
00:33:00I had damn it.
00:33:03There you go.
00:33:05I met you.
00:33:06I met you.
00:33:10I'll run away, I can't let this go to waste
00:33:14I don't want nobody else
00:33:17Don't let this go to waste
00:33:20I'll run away, I can't let this go to waste
00:33:24I'll be there
00:33:40You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:54Uh, no
00:33:55Right, no, of course not
00:34:02Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday
00:34:10Morning
00:34:25Morning
00:34:27I can't believe I risked my job for a guy
00:34:39Who doesn't give two shits about me
00:34:40It's not your fault, Laken 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...
00:34:49She's a soft spot
00:34:50Laken's got some serious trust issues
00:34:53Like, he needs therapy about it
00:34:56Camilla really messed him up
00:34:58Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:35:02That bitch is a gold digger
00:35:04I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career
00:35:08It took him, like, three years to come to his senses
00:35:10And when he finally did
00:35:10Oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:15Jesus
00:35:16Maybe it's just best to pretend like this never happened
00:35:20It sounds like he's been through a lot
00:35:22Look, I gotta run to a meeting
00:35:30How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:33Seven?
00:35:33I'll text you the details
00:35:34Yeah, I'm down
00:35:37Great
00:35:38Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner
00:35:59Dad insisted
00:36:01Something about never getting to see Malia these days
00:36:04I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office
00:36:08You know, like normal business partners and not...
00:36:11Family members
00:36:12Exactly
00:36:13Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:24Grandpa, I told you it's me
00:36:26You?
00:36:27Ah, you're too tall
00:36:28No, my Malia, last time I saw her
00:36:31She was just about my knee high
00:36:33Hey, has anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:36Hmm, because this little woman is an imposter
00:36:38Are we expecting company?
00:36:53Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:54Alex?
00:37:02Lincoln?
00:37:03You mean it
00:37:04You didn't realize you were joining us, Alex?
00:37:30Me neither
00:37:31It's okay
00:37:42I don't like asparagus either
00:37:44My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me
00:37:48He's right
00:37:49It is
00:37:51Look on the bright side
00:37:53At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:55Thank you, that was delicious
00:38:04All right
00:38:06Miss Livingston
00:38:10A word
00:38:13Uh, Mr. Blaineford, about the other night
00:38:22I know the gala was a mess with Camilla
00:38:25Alex
00:38:26I'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
00:38:35You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:38I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone
00:38:41Thank you, Jace, you're very welcome
00:38:44Jace, don't
00:38:45Bye
00:38:45Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:49Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:53But I wanna hang out with Alex
00:38:54Please, Daddy, please
00:38:56Yes
00:38:57Works for me
00:39:03I'll be right back
00:39:15Hey
00:39:17I'll get you in bed
00:39:20Come on
00:39:22I'll get you in bed
00:39:52She likes you, you know
00:39:59She's not normally so comfortable with strangers
00:40:03I like her too
00:40:06So, are we gonna figure out what happened?
00:40:16Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:18Your job is not in danger
00:40:22Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question
00:40:28What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:32I...
00:40:32I can't get involved with my assistant
00:40:36Not with the board watching my every move
00:40:38But I also can't accept the fact that
00:40:43Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever
00:40:46I thought I did something wrong
00:40:50I want you, Alex
00:40:52That's the problem
00:40:54What if we separate church and state?
00:41:06At work, we're professional
00:41:09But outside of work, we're...
00:41:12Unprofessional
00:41:14I think the light is like...
00:41:16I'm asleep walking through
00:41:19All of my problems, I know
00:41:21I can't make it through
00:41:25Every night is the same
00:41:27I keep running fast
00:41:29Left and right
00:41:31Wondering where my head's gone now
00:41:34I'm asleep walking through
00:41:37All of my problems, I know
00:41:40Let's go, Leah, come on
00:41:48Mom!
00:41:49Faster!
00:41:51Hey, uh...
00:41:53Lincoln's not here right now
00:41:55He just landed in New York
00:41:56New York
00:41:56I know
00:41:57But it turns out
00:41:59I can't take Malia at all this week
00:42:01Going to LA
00:42:03Business trip
00:42:04So, she's all yours
00:42:06Oh, uh...
00:42:08I'm not really here to be child care
00:42:10I'm sure you'll figure something out
00:42:12Mommy loves you, Malia
00:42:16I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:24Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:27Hey, hey
00:42:28It's okay, Malia
00:42:30Alex, what's going on?
00:42:44Hey, we have a problem
00:42:45Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left
00:42:47She said she can't take care of this week after all
00:42:50What?
00:42:51Let me talk to her
00:42:52Hi, honey
00:42:57Are you okay?
00:42:58Hi
00:42:59Listen, uh...
00:43:01Mommy had to go away for a little bit
00:43:02But, uh...
00:43:03I'm going to be back tonight
00:43:04And in the meantime
00:43:05Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:06Everything is fine
00:43:07I love you
00:43:08I love you, too
00:43:09I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this
00:43:17So much for that family time she went
00:43:19I will put the first flight out this evening
00:43:21Okay
00:43:23Okay, bye
00:43:24Okay, so we'll get you fed
00:43:34I can help you with your homework
00:43:35And by the time your dad gets back
00:43:37Send you much rice
00:43:39I'm sorry
00:43:42You have nothing to be sorry about
00:43:45Has your mom done this before?
00:43:54Sort of
00:43:55Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days
00:43:59So she can go on work trips
00:44:02Or trips
00:44:05Huh
00:44:06Does your dad know about this?
00:44:09I'm not supposed to tell him
00:44:11She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves
00:44:16Shit! I mean, shoot!
00:44:20Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:41Malia
00:44:41I'm sorry
00:44:45I didn't mean to
00:44:47Better?
00:45:04Good
00:45:05How about we order some pizza?
00:45:10Malia, do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:40You can talk to me. Believe me, I understand.
00:45:50What do you mean?
00:45:55It's from surgery. I was born with a heart defect, just like you.
00:46:00Really? I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:10Who is it?
00:46:27It's me.
00:46:32Lincoln. Hi.
00:46:39Hi. Can I see Malia?
00:46:44Daddy, shh.
00:47:12It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here. Go back to sleep.
00:47:18Oh, stay.
00:47:22I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:24No, you stay too.
00:47:30It's alright with me.
00:47:34I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:44I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:46I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:50I can sleep on the couch.
00:48:02I can sleep on the couch.
00:48:06Where do you think you're going?
00:48:08To find Malia.
00:48:10I've already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:14We're all alone.
00:48:16What about work?
00:48:20Time off for good behavior.
00:48:36Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:40It wasn't a problem.
00:48:46Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:52Let me make it up to you.
00:48:58How are you gonna do that?
00:49:06Let me show you.
00:49:08Lately, it feels like I've been faking.
00:49:10Think there's a stranger here instead.
00:49:14That you haven't.
00:49:16Night, night, am I awake?
00:49:20Won't escape this home.
00:49:24Time, the air is changing.
00:49:28You know, I think more people should try co-workers with benefits.
00:49:56So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:12Not really.
00:50:16Sorry, I was just curious.
00:50:20Congenital heart defect.
00:50:22You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:24It's too much.
00:50:25This condition.
00:50:27These bills.
00:50:29This scar.
00:50:31My parents were incredible.
00:50:33They gave up everything for me.
00:50:35They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:41Now they're gone.
00:50:43Car accident.
00:50:45When I was a senior in high school.
00:50:47I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:53Alex.
00:50:55Sorry, way too much information.
00:50:57Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:59You don't need to know my sob story.
00:51:01You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:51:07I know.
00:51:09She told me.
00:51:11Look, I've never told anybody this but Malia was born with her defect because Camilla, she took diet pills during the pregnancy.
00:51:25She wouldn't gain weight or lose out on modeling gigs.
00:51:29I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:31Oh my god.
00:51:33It's terrible.
00:51:35Truth is, she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:39I did.
00:51:41I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:45Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:51I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:53The only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.
00:51:59Not for me and certainly not for her daughter.
00:52:01You know, she's always been irresponsible but this latest stunt, abandoning her daughter like that,
00:52:08Have you thought about pursuing soul custody?
00:52:12I want to but it's too risky.
00:52:16The courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:18I 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.
00:52:37I think you could have a case here.
00:52:39I don't know.
00:52:41I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:43I mean, making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:45I can't do that.
00:52:47I know you want what's best for Malia.
00:52:51And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:53Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:57And if that's money, fine.
00:52:59You have it.
00:53:01Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.
00:53:05You're right.
00:53:07Malia deserves better.
00:53:09I will talk to her this week.
00:53:25Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:30Greedy?
00:53:31I meant breakfast.
00:53:33You can cook?
00:53:35Yes, I can.
00:53:37For the right company.
00:53:39Ta-da!
00:53:49I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:54:02Shit.
00:54:03Fuck.
00:54:04I'm sorry.
00:54:05I didn't mean to.
00:54:06It's okay.
00:54:07Really, it'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.
00:54:23Right.
00:54:29Not exactly.
00:54:35He told you all of that?
00:54:36What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:38A saint?
00:54:39Hardly.
00:54:43Look.
00:54:44If I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:49Cross my heart, hope to die.
00:54:54Your dad is paying me to do this.
00:54:56To help Lakin.
00:54:59That's what a job is.
00:55:00You work for the company.
00:55:01You 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.
00:55:11He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:55:13By any means necessary, he said.
00:55:17Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:18Fucking like rabbits.
00:55:19Coworkers with benefits?
00:55:22Excuse me?
00:55:24It just...
00:55:25It seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:28Why?
00:55:29Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:31Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:33It won't feel like that if he finds out.
00:55:34He'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.
00:55:42I think...
00:55:44I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:46So more than co-workers with benefits.
00:55:51Thanks for meeting me.
00:55:52I wanted to talk to you about...
00:55:53Your new girlfriend?
00:55:54What?
00:55:55I know all about your little sleepover.
00:55:57You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life.
00:55:58Especially that one.
00:55:59What do you mean by that one?
00:56:00Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in L.A.
00:56:01It was a work trip.
00:56:02Oh, really?
00:56:03No.
00:56:04No.
00:56:05No.
00:56:06No.
00:56:07No.
00:56:08No.
00:56:09No.
00:56:10No.
00:56:11No.
00:56:12No.
00:56:13No.
00:56:14No.
00:56:15No.
00:56:16No.
00:56:17No.
00:56:18No.
00:56:19No.
00:56:20No.
00:56:21No.
00:56:22No.
00:56:23No.
00:56:24No.
00:56:25No.
00:56:26No.
00:56:27No.
00:56:28No.
00:56:29No.
00:56:30No.
00:56:31No.
00:56:32No.
00:56:33No.
00:56:34No.
00:56:35No.
00:56:36No.
00:56:37No.
00:56:38No.
00:56:39No.
00:56:40No.
00:56:41No.
00:56:42No.
00:56:43No.
00:56:44No.
00:56:45No.
00:56:46No.
00:56:47No.
00:56:48No.
00:56:49No.
00:56:50No.
00:56:51No.
00:56:52No.
00:56:53No.
00:56:54I just want my money. I 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 that girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:18I 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 is 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.
00:57:51Is it true?
00:57:52Lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:55Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:58:01It was for your own good.
00:58:02Do not give me that father knows best routine. This is a complete betrayal of my trust.
00:58:07Your personal issues were affecting not only the business but our family.
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 in 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? That is bullshit. My love life, your business.
00:58:31But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:58:34It's a smart girl with a good heart. She cares about Malia. And she challenges you.
00:58:43She is fired. Thanks to you.
00:58:46What are you doing here?
00:59:11What are you doing here?
00:59:14We need to talk.
00:59:16We are? You 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? Because you still love her? God, I'm so fucking stupid.
00:59:28Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad? God, Alex, I trusted you. I told you things that I've told my family. And this whole time, you were just in it for the money.
00:59:43I- That was before anything happened between us. Lakin, I couldn't say no. That kind of money. You 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? That's all I am to you? Just a transaction?
01:00:01Of course not. How dare you? Why should I believe you? You know, you're just like her.
01:00:12I am not like Camilla. Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:16You're fired. And this thing between us? That's over too.
01:00:46Let's go.
01:00:50Let's go.
01:00:52Let's go.
01:00:53Let's go.
01:00:54Let's go.
01:00:55Let's go.
01:00:56Let's go.
01:01:15Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:17I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:19You're gonna let me in or what?
01:01:27You are out of your mind. Showing appears insane.
01:01:31Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:33I don't. I've changed.
01:01:36I've heard that before. God, it turns me on when you act like you're-
01:01:40Alright, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders. Have you left your house yet?
01:01:45Well, I'm gonna try and get my old job back so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:51Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot. You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:57I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:02:01God was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:05What's wrong with me?
01:02:19Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
01:02:23I'm sorry. I just-
01:02:33I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:39Hey.
01:02:43Text me, okay?
01:02:46Just cause we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:49I will.
01:02:53I promise.
01:02:55Tell me.
01:03:10Okay.
01:03:14What's wrong with you?
01:03:48Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:57I used to work here.
01:04:01Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:11Really need to give me a key.
01:04:16You want a drink?
01:04:17Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:18Second 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.
01:04:39I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:40I don't.
01:04:44Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:48Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:50What do you care?
01:04:52She's all yours now.
01:04:54Her little deal with dad is moot, and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:57Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:05:05Yeah.
01:05:05You'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.
01:05:20I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:23Are you good?
01:05:32I'm good.
01:05:33Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:51But you're always flirting with her at...
01:05:52I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:56She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:58She cares about you.
01:06:00A lot.
01:06:03She hated the deal.
01:06:04She hated lying to you.
01:06:07She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:11And why should I?
01:06:13Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:19Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:22Call her.
01:06:25Call her.
01:06:52Call her.
01:06:53Call her.
01:06:54Call her.
01:06:55Call her.
01:06:56Call her.
01:06:57Call her.
01:06:58Call her.
01:06:59Call her.
01:07:00Call her.
01:07:01Call her.
01:07:02Call her.
01:07:03Call her.
01:07:04Call her.
01:07:05Call her.
01:07:06Call her.
01:07:07Call her.
01:07:08Call her.
01:07:09Call her.
01:07:10Call her.
01:07:11Call her.
01:07:12Call her.
01:07:13Call her.
01:07:14Call her.
01:07:15Call her.
01:07:16Call her.
01:07:17Call her.
01:07:18Call her.
01:07:19Call her.
01:07:20Call her.
01:07:21Fuck him.
01:07:42So, that's $250,000 a year?
01:07:46Every year?
01:07:47Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:50So, in nine more years then?
01:07:52Eight.
01:07:53You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:14Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:15You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:22She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:24I can't.
01:08:25I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:27Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:28Good fucking riddance.
01:08:42I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:44It 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.
01:08:49All right?
01:08:51If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:09:02Congrats, bro.
01:09:03Let's celebrate.
01:09:13Come on.
01:09:16We should be celebrating.
01:09:18Ding dong.
01:09:19The witch agreed to settle.
01:09:20And now Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care enough
01:09:26about her to fight for custody.
01:09:28On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:31You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:34What else could you want?
01:09:37Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody.
01:09:41She blocked my number.
01:09:43And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:48It would make me look insane.
01:09:50Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:55She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:58And I don't blame her.
01:09:59Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back.
01:10:01But I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:10:07She's working here again?
01:10:10Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:12Go get her.
01:10:27Hi.
01:10:27Ready to order?
01:10:29I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:38Alex.
01:10:40Lincoln?
01:10:43What are you doing here?
01:10:45Jace brought me.
01:10:47To celebrate.
01:10:49I won full custody.
01:10:52Congratulations.
01:10:53Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:58Uh...
01:10:59Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.
01:11:03I made a huge mistake.
01:11:04Thanks.
01:11:06I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:11Alex, hey.
01:11:14Oh.
01:11:15Oh.
01:11:15Oh.
01:11:15Oh.
01:11:15Someone call 9-1-1!
01:11:26Help!
01:11:27It's okay.
01:11:28Dr. Ben, can I hear you?
01:11:30Dr. Ben, can I hear you?
01:11:44Dr. Ben, can I hear you?
01:11:45You're fine.
01:11:46Dr. Ben.
01:11:47Any update?
01:11:47There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but the doctor said that she's in critical condition, they're going to operate tomorrow, and then her chances are 50-50.
01:12:05Jesus.
01:12:07Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:12The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:14And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either.
01:12:18I should have just left her alone.
01:12:21It's not your fault, Lakin.
01:12:24And now Alex could, she could...
01:12:26Hey, stop. Don't talk like that.
01:12:44Hey, Lakin.
01:12:52Oh my god, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:54Jesus Christ.
01:12:56I was so worried, I thought...
01:12:58I thought that I might have lost you.
01:13:06I'm fine.
01:13:08You should leave.
01:13:09What?
01:13:11What are you talking about?
01:13:13Lakin, why are you here?
01:13:15I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:17Because you feel guilty.
01:13:20This is what you do.
01:13:21You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:24No, it's not like that.
01:13:26I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.
01:13:30I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:33You are not a burden.
01:13:37I don't think that.
01:13:39I'd like you to go.
01:13:40I'd like you to go.
01:14:03Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:30It's good to see you awake.
01:14:31You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:38I got you something.
01:14:53This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:59Where did all the flowers come from?
01:15:02It was Dad.
01:15:04You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Melio while Lakin watches over you here.
01:15:10Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:13Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:16He shouldn't have.
01:15:18You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:20Dad was good for it.
01:15:21It's done.
01:15:22I don't deserve it.
01:15:23I don't deserve it.
01:15:26What are you talking about?
01:15:28Look at me, Jace.
01:15:29I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:15:31Why should I...
01:15:31Hey, Alex.
01:15:34You deserve love.
01:15:35It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:40Jesus.
01:15:47I'm sorry.
01:15:49I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:51I thought you might need some help.
01:16:12Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:16Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:22Sorry.
01:16:23Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:25Alex.
01:16:25Alex, you're recovering from surgery.
01:16:29Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:30Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:59She misses you.
01:17:00Everyone misses you.
01:17:02My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:11It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:15I can see that now.
01:17:17I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:21And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:23It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:27What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you, do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:39Alex, 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.
01:17:50That's not sacrifice.
01:17:51That's love.
01:17:53I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:56I've been thinking about what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:18:01I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most, but what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me, is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:18It is simply because you love them, Ms. 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.
01:18:42It's true.
01:18:43And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:48Prove it?
01:18:49How?
01:18:50Is that...?
01:18:51Scars.
01:18:52Just like yours.
01:18:53Are those tattoos?
01:18:54I wanted it to be perfect.
01:18:55It's true.
01:18:56It's true.
01:18:57And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:19:00Prove it?
01:19:01How?
01:19:02Is that...?
01:19:03Scars.
01:19:04Just like yours.
01:19:05Are those tattoos?
01:19:06I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:13I love you, Alex.
01:19:16I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:21Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:27Please.
01:19:29I love you, too.
01:19:34I love you, too.
01:20:02What are you doing next week?
01:20:04I want to take you to a party.

01:21:04Just like you.
