Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:00:02Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:00:05What are you doing here?
00:00:07I work here.
00:00:08Must be a pity hire.
00:00:10Better than daddy buying my position for me.
00:00:12Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two.
00:00:15This girl is overstepping.
00:00:17You fire her and the ward will find another CEO.
00:00:20I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:00:22I need you to stay.
00:00:24It's just a dance.
00:00:25Do not be weird about this.
00:00:26And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:00:29Right.
00:00:38I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:00:41Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:00:47It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:00:49She likes you, you know?
00:00:51She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:00:53That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:00:56The 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.
00:01:02I can't keep lying to him.
00:01:04I think I'm falling for him.
00:01:05We'll be playing for him.
00:01:10I'm following up with New York about next month,
00:01:39but, uh, how do you spell rapport?
00:01:42R-A-P-P-O-R-T comes from the French rapport to bring back as in Je rapport ses plats à la cuisine.
00:01:50I'm bringing these dishes back to the kitchen.
00:01:53Well, you can bring that little attitude of yours back there as well.
00:01:58I didn't realize they taught French at waitress school.
00:02:01I went to UC Berkeley. Heard of it?
00:02:04That's where you went.
00:02:05I'll be right back, gentlemen.
00:02:13That's R-A-P-P-O-R-T.
00:02:16Yeah, I got it.
00:02:18Here comes the smart mouth again.
00:02:20You'd think a hospitality major would be a little bit more hospitable.
00:02:25For your information, I studied business. Just graduated.
00:02:28Congrats on the degree. I can see things are really working out for you here.
00:02:32At least I know how to spell.
00:02:35Excuse me. I ordered this steak medium rare, and it is medium.
00:02:41I'll be with you in just a moment.
00:02:42I think I've waited long enough.
00:02:43She's busy right now. She'll be with you when she's done here.
00:02:46I can speak for myself. Thank you.
00:02:51Daddy.
00:02:51One second, sweetheart. You sure about that?
00:02:55Seems like you got a little bit too much on your plate here.
00:03:03Malia, oh my God. Sweetheart.
00:03:06Sweetheart, hey. Dad, where are our pills?
00:03:07Here.
00:03:07Hey, come here.
00:03:09Lay her down.
00:03:10I got you. Daddy's here. Hey, Malia.
00:03:12We need to elevate her legs and increase blood flow to the brain.
00:03:15It's okay.
00:03:15Give her some room to breathe.
00:03:16She's my daughter. I know what's best for her.
00:03:18Clearly not, or you wouldn't be raising her voice right now.
00:03:20No. Now elevate her legs. I'm calling 911.
00:03:25Daddy.
00:03:26Honey, hey. Okay, sit up.
00:03:30Here. It's okay. Take this.
00:03:35Little sips, okay, honey?
00:03:36We're good. Thanks.
00:03:41Honey, you think you can stand up?
00:03:43Slow, nice and slow.
00:03:45I got you. Look at me.
00:03:48You okay?
00:03:48I'm taking you to see Dr. Schaffer right now to get you checked out.
00:03:51No, I'm fine.
00:03:52No butts.
00:03:53Okay?
00:03:54Come on.
00:03:55Dad, can you take care of the bill?
00:03:57No.
00:03:57No.
00:03:57Please, excuse my son.
00:04:11What he meant was, thank you.
00:04:13Alex.
00:04:14And it's all right.
00:04:16It was a stressful situation.
00:04:17Yeah, how do you know how to handle that?
00:04:20Sometimes I faint when I get stressed out.
00:04:24Heart defect.
00:04:25I was born with it.
00:04:26Learned how to take care of myself over the years.
00:04:28Well, you shouldn't be working as a waitress with a condition like that.
00:04:31You know, running around all day.
00:04:33Student loans and a looming surgery I can't even begin to afford don't just pay for themselves.
00:04:39Oh my God.
00:04:46You know, there's an opening at my office.
00:04:49Less footwork, better pay.
00:04:51Why don't you come and see me?
00:04:54Monday morning, all right?
00:04:55We'll have a chat.
00:04:579 a.m.
00:05:00And don't be late.
00:05:01Yeah, absolutely.
00:05:12I'm getting in the elevator.
00:05:13Let me call you right back.
00:05:14Okay.
00:05:26You.
00:05:27What are you doing here?
00:05:30I work here.
00:05:32I didn't realize the cafeteria was hiring.
00:05:35Mr. Blanford said he had a job for me.
00:05:37Must be a pity hire.
00:05:38Better than daddy buying my position for me.
00:05:42You know, you're a lot more charming in an apron, waitress.
00:05:49Your floor, by the way.
00:05:50Okay.
00:05:50You know what to do.
00:06:04Yeah.
00:06:05Well, I got to go now.
00:06:10All right.
00:06:10Hello again, Alex.
00:06:15So I'll cut right to it.
00:06:18I'd like to offer you an executive assistant position.
00:06:21I need someone to rein in our interim CEO so that he can become the leader this company needs.
00:06:27So, keep him out of trouble?
00:06:29No, he's just overwhelmed.
00:06:32And his ex, Camilla, isn't helping.
00:06:35I need you to keep her far away from him.
00:06:38Sir, I appreciate the offer, I do.
00:06:41But I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:06:45Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:06:49I could use someone like you.
00:06:50You know, you're smart.
00:06:53You're good and under pressure.
00:06:54And if you don't tell him the real reason why I hired you, I'll handle all those medical bills of yours.
00:07:02What do you say?
00:07:05I say, when do I start?
00:07:09Right now.
00:07:14Alex, meet Lakin Blanford, the interim CEO of Blanford Corporation.
00:07:22And you're a new boss.
00:07:25Her?
00:07:26Are you joking?
00:07:27I certainly am not.
00:07:29I'm still CEO for now.
00:07:31You do as I say.
00:07:43Welcome aboard.
00:07:50Let's get started.
00:07:52Did you bring your notepad from the restaurant?
00:08:00Coffee.
00:08:01Black.
00:08:02Every day within five minutes of my arrival.
00:08:05Lunch will be at 1pm sharp.
00:08:08No fast food.
00:08:10Are you writing this down?
00:08:12I also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from Emilio's.
00:08:16Oh.
00:08:18And stay out of my personal life.
00:08:20That'll be all for now.
00:08:24I'll give you access to my work calendar later.
00:08:25That means you can go.
00:08:33I can.
00:08:41I like Lucifer.
00:08:44His bark's worse than his bite.
00:08:46Trust me.
00:08:48I'm Jace.
00:08:49Lucifer's angelic younger brother.
00:08:51You are?
00:08:53Alex.
00:08:53Lakin's new assistant.
00:08:54And, uh, it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling.
00:09:00I've said worse.
00:09:01Your secret's safe with me.
00:09:02Alex, get in here.
00:09:06We need to roll some calls to South Korea.
00:09:08You're gonna need that.
00:09:11Coming.
00:09:11We're still evaluating the Chicago hub closure.
00:09:19It's costing us.
00:09:21Labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times.
00:09:27And shifting our operations to Detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford right now.
00:09:33So what?
00:09:34We're just gonna bleed cash while you evaluate?
00:09:37I need solutions faster.
00:09:39Not more excuses, people.
00:09:41We're exploring alternatives.
00:09:43Nothing definitive yet.
00:09:47Um, sorry to interrupt.
00:09:49But have you considered splitting freight between Detroit and Cleveland and using your existing
00:09:58rail contracts to offset the overflow?
00:10:00Huh.
00:10:01So what, you're now an expert in freight logistics?
00:10:05Uh, no.
00:10:07But I was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off, but Cleveland's
00:10:13underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure.
00:10:16It wouldn't solve all of your problems, but it could keep the Detroit bottleneck from shutting
00:10:21you down entirely.
00:10:23Actually, that could work.
00:10:25Worth a shot.
00:10:26I mean, obviously, my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details.
00:10:31Is there anything else I should know about my business?
00:10:35Not yet.
00:10:41Uh, you heard her.
00:10:44Let's, uh, let's move on this right away.
00:10:46That'll be all.
00:10:51Alex has to go.
00:10:52Absolutely not.
00:10:53She stays.
00:10:55Look, Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two.
00:10:59Seven this year.
00:11:00This girl is overstepping.
00:11:02She's jumping on executive leadership calls.
00:11:05Yes, she was right.
00:11:06But she is undermining me in front of my team.
00:11:08How is that supposed to strengthen my position with the board?
00:11:10So you want to fire her for being too good at her job?
00:11:15Listen, a good leader isn't threatened by his employees.
00:11:18Threatened?
00:11:19I am not threatened by her.
00:11:21But she makes it look like I've lost control.
00:11:23Well, the board already thinks you've lost control.
00:11:26This constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak.
00:11:29You have to keep Alex.
00:11:35What are you saying?
00:11:37You fire her and the board will find another CEO.
00:11:40Hey, Malia, right?
00:12:05How are you feeling?
00:12:07Better.
00:12:08Thank you for helping me the other day.
00:12:10Of course.
00:12:11You know, if you ever start to feel like that, you should sit down and slow your heart rate.
00:12:15What the hell are you doing?
00:12:20Malia, honey, why don't you get started on your homework, okay?
00:12:28Your job is to help with my work, not butt into my personal life.
00:12:31I was just trying...
00:12:32From now on, I want you to leave my daughter alone.
00:12:35How about I leave you alone, huh?
00:12:38I quit.
00:12:40Come on, it's only been a week.
00:12:41You really giving up that fast?
00:12:44You know what?
00:12:45Fine.
00:12:46Leave.
00:12:47Guess you're just not cut out for a big girl job, are you, waitress?
00:12:56Alex, hang on.
00:13:00Alice!
00:13:00Alex, wait.
00:13:07Alex!
00:13:07Alex!
00:13:12I told you to wait.
00:13:14I'm not going to stay here and subject myself to this bullshit any longer.
00:13:19I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:13:21I'll double your salary.
00:13:24I'll give you a four-day work week, whatever you want.
00:13:29Look, you can't leave, okay?
00:13:32I need you to stay.
00:13:35How about starting with an apology?
00:13:37I've been working my ass off all week, doing everything you say, and you're still a dick to me.
00:13:44What do I have to do to please you?
00:13:49Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:13:51It's not your fault.
00:13:52I just, uh...
00:13:59Alex, hang on.
00:14:11Alex?
00:14:12Hey.
00:14:13Alex?
00:14:14Hey, Alex, wait one second.
00:14:15Look, I don't know what came over me, okay?
00:14:19But I can't lose you.
00:14:22I promise from now on, I will clean up my act.
00:14:25No more verbal abuse?
00:14:26I didn't...
00:14:29Fine.
00:14:31No more.
00:14:32And no more calling me waitress.
00:14:34It's Miss Livingston or Alex.
00:14:37Got it.
00:14:39And you said something about doubling my salary.
00:14:43Stick around for a few more months, and then we'll talk, okay?
00:14:45You won't regret it.
00:14:51Want a bag?
00:14:52Sorry I'm late.
00:15:20Traffic was hell.
00:15:23A menu for you, sir.
00:15:29Hi, Malia.
00:15:30Can't compete with that iPad.
00:15:33We order drinks.
00:15:37A 2005 Roman Acon tea.
00:15:40Best bottle on the menu.
00:15:42It better be.
00:15:43It costs $15,000.
00:15:45We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:47Not until after I get port approval.
00:15:54So, what did you want to talk to me about?
00:15:58Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:16:04It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:16:09Malia, honey, you and I talked about this, right?
00:16:12Your mother and I love you very much.
00:16:15It's just...
00:16:17It's not easy for us to be around each other right now.
00:16:20Maybe we could try a little harder.
00:16:33Hey.
00:16:35I just wanted to give you a status report before I head home.
00:16:37Thank you, Ms. Livingston.
00:16:42So, regarding South Korea, I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week.
00:16:46I'm working...
00:16:46Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:17:02Uh, sorry.
00:17:03As I was saying, uh, where was I?
00:17:06You can just take your top off.
00:17:09Oh my god, I meant you can just take it from the top.
00:17:12I gotta go.
00:17:28No soy sauce in this whole building?
00:17:32They're still here. That's surprising.
00:17:36You and my brother getting along better?
00:17:38Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:42So, that little argument you guys had the other day, what was that? A lover's quarrel?
00:17:48Look who's blushing.
00:17:50I am not blushing and that wasn't a lover's quarrel.
00:17:54He doesn't like me like that.
00:17:56So he didn't run after you in the elevator and sweep you off your feet?
00:18:00Chase.
00:18:02Lakin.
00:18:04So we were just talking about you.
00:18:06Lovely assistant you've got here.
00:18:08Such a sweetheart.
00:18:10Anywho, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later, Alex.
00:18:14You needed me for something?
00:18:16The company's hosting a charity fundraiser tomorrow night and I need you to go with me.
00:18:22You need a date?
00:18:24No, what I need is my assistant close by.
00:18:28So, if you have any plans just go ahead and cancel them.
00:18:32And here.
00:18:34Take my card and buy yourself a dress this afternoon.
00:18:38Try to keep it under 10,000, alright?
00:18:40No problem. I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.
00:18:48Got it. Under 10,000.
00:18:50Oh.
00:18:52And seeing as I'm buying,
00:18:54I like red.
00:18:56I like red.
00:18:58I like red.
00:19:00I like red.
00:19:02I like red.
00:19:04I love red.
00:19:06I love red.
00:19:08I like red.
00:19:10I like red.
00:19:12You needl.
00:19:14You needl.
00:19:16Oh.
00:19:17Oh, I.
00:19:19Then I'm fine.
00:19:20I want red.
00:19:23I'm fine.
00:19:25We'll see you next time.
00:19:55We'll see you next time.
00:20:25Looks like we're almost there.
00:20:35Remember, this is a work event.
00:20:38The whole board's gonna be there.
00:20:40It's easy on the drinks.
00:20:41Do as I say, not as I do.
00:20:52You ready?
00:21:00It's easy on the drinks.
00:21:30So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight,
00:21:44and you lied to me.
00:21:48Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:51I thought only H.R. saw that.
00:21:57Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar.
00:22:01I think that's a very sweet name.
00:22:03I'm not embarrassed.
00:22:04It's just private.
00:22:06My parents are the only ones who called me that.
00:22:14I see.
00:22:14I apologize.
00:22:18I didn't know.
00:22:20I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:23Hey.
00:22:24Alex.
00:22:28I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:37I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:38I'll be right back.
00:22:48Look at you.
00:22:49You look stunning.
00:22:52See the dress?
00:22:56This could turn even me straight.
00:22:58Picked it out just for you.
00:22:59It's perfect.
00:23:00May I have this dance, my lady?
00:23:01It's just the way of love and letting you go.
00:23:12Why do we feel like we're not good enough?
00:23:16Why don't we lose all of this camera first?
00:23:20For you.
00:23:22Hey, bro.
00:23:23Is that for me?
00:23:24Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:25And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:27Dane?
00:23:30I knew it.
00:23:32My guest.
00:23:33You know what I mean.
00:23:33Yeah, sure.
00:23:34I know what you mean.
00:23:35I'll take that.
00:23:36I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:49It's just a dance.
00:23:50Do not be weird about this.
00:23:52Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:54Everyone else is dancing.
00:23:55It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:58And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:04Right.
00:24:17So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:22Jase?
00:24:23Of course not.
00:24:24That was nothing.
00:24:26It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:29If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:33Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:35I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:41He's, you know.
00:24:45He's what?
00:24:47You don't know?
00:24:51Never mind.
00:24:52So, you guys aren't that close, then.
00:24:55Close, then.
00:24:55Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:24:59If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.
00:25:03It's important to make time for family, Lincoln.
00:25:07That's not your concern.
00:25:09Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:15It's unprofessional.
00:25:16What?
00:25:17I don't know.
00:25:18I don't know.
00:25:18I don't know.
00:25:19I don't know.
00:25:20But this?
00:25:20This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:23Right, a totally normal boss-slash-assistant slow dance.
00:25:30It's completely innocent.
00:25:32Hmm.
00:25:33You're rarely touching.
00:25:40Lincoln.
00:25:43Dad.
00:25:45Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:48And you can make your rounds.
00:25:50Miss Livingston?
00:25:52Shall we?
00:25:53Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:04Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:10Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:13Oh, yes.
00:26:15Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:16Nice work.
00:26:18Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:21I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:22Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:36Lincoln.
00:26:38What are you doing here?
00:26:39She thought I'd stop by.
00:26:41I thought you could use the moral support.
00:26:43Where's Malia?
00:26:44I got a babysitter.
00:26:47I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:53Who's this?
00:26:54Uh, no one.
00:26:56Just, uh, my assistant.
00:26:59Alex.
00:27:01Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:04As I was saying, the transit time's in New York.
00:27:07I really...
00:27:07Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:09Don't be a bore.
00:27:10It's a party.
00:27:11No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:13Am I right?
00:27:14Let's dance.
00:27:15Maybe later.
00:27:17These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:19You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:29What are you doing?
00:27:32Are you drunk?
00:27:33The whole office is here.
00:27:34You never have any time together.
00:27:36And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:27:38We're not together anymore.
00:27:39You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.
00:27:43Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:45I'm sorry if I embarrass you.
00:27:47I just...
00:27:48I miss you.
00:27:51And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.
00:27:55I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:27:58For old time's sake.
00:28:02One dance.
00:28:08Thanks.
00:28:09Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:24Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:26I know you miss this.
00:28:32This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:36Max Lakin, so tense.
00:28:38I could fix that, you know.
00:28:42What do you want, hmm?
00:28:44And don't give me some bullshit about missing me.
00:28:46I know you.
00:28:48You want money, don't you?
00:28:50Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:53Malia, Malia's getting older.
00:28:57It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with our situation.
00:29:01We should be a family.
00:29:03We tried.
00:29:05And failed miserably.
00:29:07I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:09Are you sure about that?
00:29:12Camilla, don't.
00:29:13Kiss me.
00:29:14Kiss me.
00:29:15If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:22Stop.
00:29:23Jesus.
00:29:23Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:30Liggett, are you listening to me?
00:29:33Look at me.
00:29:35You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:37Because you know I will.
00:29:39Let me make something very clear to you.
00:29:44We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:29:46You hear me?
00:29:47Ever.
00:29:48Now, you need to go.
00:29:50But...
00:29:50Right now.
00:29:51Right now.
00:30:09I'm not having any fun.
00:30:22Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:31It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:34And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:36And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:42So it's the last call, right?
00:30:44I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:30:46Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.
00:30:47Oh my god.
00:30:49Stop.
00:30:51Something funny?
00:30:56Time to go.
00:31:01Okay.
00:31:06Arturo.
00:31:11Take Miss Livingston home.
00:31:12You're being incredibly rude.
00:31:14You know that?
00:31:15You're getting wasted at a company party.
00:31:18It's totally inappropriate.
00:31:20Don't you inappropriate me.
00:31:21Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.
00:31:23You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:24Okay.
00:31:25First of all, she's my ex.
00:31:26And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:29I'm the CEO.
00:31:31Interrupt.
00:31:32Right.
00:31:33Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:31:36What, my title not good enough for you?
00:31:38Charm your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:40CEO this week, chairman the next.
00:31:42Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.
00:31:45What do you care anyway?
00:31:46I thought you weren't attracted to me.
00:31:48I'm not.
00:31:50Oh yeah?
00:31:52Yeah.
00:31:53Liar.
00:31:54Liar.
00:31:54I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:18Yeah, I was.
00:32:19I didn't know nothing about me.
00:32:20That cost $8,000.
00:32:30Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:34Now get the hell over here.
00:32:41Is that a scar?
00:32:44It's hot.
00:32:48Fuck me.
00:32:50Fuck me.
00:33:17Fuck me.
00:33:17Fuck me.
00:33:18You are...
00:33:48Want to come inside?
00:33:51Uh, no.
00:33:54Right. No.
00:33:58Of course not.
00:34:00Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:18Good morning.
00:34:24Good morning.
00:34:33I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.
00:34:38It's not your fault. Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:42Me. Dad.
00:34:43But I've seen how he is with Malia, and...
00:34:46He's a soft spot.
00:34:49Laken's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:51Like, he needs therapy about it.
00:34:54Camilla really messed him up.
00:34:55Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:35:00That bitch is a gold digger.
00:35:02I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.
00:35:05Took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did,
00:35:08Oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:12Jesus.
00:35:13Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:17It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:24Look, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:28How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:30Seven? I'll text you the details.
00:35:33Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:34Great.
00:35:43I can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:58Dad insisted.
00:35:59Something about never getting to see Malia these days.
00:36:03I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.
00:36:06You know, like normal business partners and not...
00:36:08Family members.
00:36:10Exactly.
00:36:13Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:21Grandpa, I told you it's me.
00:36:23You?
00:36:24Ah, you're too tall.
00:36:26No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.
00:36:30Has anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:33Hmm.
00:36:33Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:38Are we expecting company?
00:36:43Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:57Alex?
00:36:59Lincoln?
00:37:00You made it.
00:37:00Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:27Me neither.
00:37:28It's okay.
00:37:39I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:42My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:46He's right.
00:37:47It is.
00:37:49Look on the bright side.
00:37:50At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:38:01That was delicious.
00:38:03All right.
00:38:06Miss Livingston.
00:38:09A word.
00:38:10Uh, Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:23Alex, I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:26Really?
00:38:27It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:30Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:31You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:35I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.
00:38:39Thank you, Jace.
00:38:40You're very welcome.
00:38:41Jace, don't.
00:38:42Bye.
00:38:44Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:46Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:50But I wanna hang out with Alex.
00:38:52Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:53Please.
00:38:53Works for me.
00:39:11I'll be right back.
00:39:12Bye.
00:39:13Hey.
00:39:16Let me chill it.
00:39:18Come on.
00:39:23Let me chill it.
00:39:53She likes you, you know?
00:39:58She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:40:01I like her, too.
00:40:09So, are we gonna figure out what happened?
00:40:13Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:18Your job is not in danger.
00:40:19Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:28What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:29I...
00:40:29I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:33Not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:35But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:43I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:48I want you, Alex.
00:40:50That's the problem.
00:40:51What if we separate church and state?
00:41:03At work, we're professional.
00:41:07But outside of work, we're...
00:41:10Unprofessional?
00:41:11I think the light is like...
00:41:13I'm sleepwalking through
00:41:16All of my problems are new
00:41:18I can't make it through
00:41:22Every night is the same
00:41:24I keep running fast
00:41:26Left and right
00:41:28Wondering where my head's gone now
00:41:31I'm sleepwalking through
00:41:34All of my problems are new
00:41:37Malia, hurry.
00:41:40Come on.
00:41:41Go.
00:41:41Come on.
00:41:43Let's go, Malia.
00:41:44Come on.
00:41:45Mom!
00:41:46Faster!
00:41:48Hey, uh...
00:41:50Lincoln's not here right now.
00:41:52He just landed in New York.
00:41:53New York.
00:41:54I know.
00:41:55But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:59Going to LA.
00:42:01Business trip.
00:42:02So, she's all yours.
00:42:03Oh, uh...
00:42:05I'm not really here to be child care.
00:42:07I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:11Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:16I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:21Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:24Hey, hey.
00:42:26It's okay, Malia.
00:42:33Alex, what's going on?
00:42:41Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:42Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:45She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:47What?
00:42:48Let me talk to her.
00:42:53Hi, honey.
00:42:54Are you okay?
00:42:56Hi.
00:42:56Listen, uh...
00:42:57Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:43:00I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:03Everything is fine.
00:43:05I love you.
00:43:06I love you, too.
00:43:11I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:14So much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:16I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:20Okay.
00:43:20Okay.
00:43:21Bye.
00:43:21Bye.
00:43:21Bye.
00:43:21Bye.
00:43:21Bye.
00:43:21Bye.
00:43:21Bye.
00:43:21Bye.
00:43:21Bye.
00:43:21Bye.
00:43:21Bye.
00:43:22Bye.
00:43:23Bye.
00:43:25Bye.
00:43:29Okay, so we'll get you fed, I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets
00:43:34back, send you a lot of rice.
00:43:38I'm sorry.
00:43:40You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:47Has your mom done this before?
00:43:51Sort of.
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work
00:43:59trips.
00:44:01Work trips.
00:44:03Huh.
00:44:04Does your dad know about this?
00:44:06I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:09She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:15Shit!
00:44:15I mean, shoot!
00:44:17Go!
00:44:17No!
00:44:35Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:38Malia.
00:44:41I'm sorry.
00:44:42I didn't mean to.
00:44:44You're stuck!
00:44:45I'm sorry!
00:44:46I didn't mean to...
00:44:47Better?
00:44:58Better?
00:45:01Good.
00:45:06How about we order some pizza?
00:45:17Malia, do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:41You can talk to me.
00:45:44Believe me, I understand.
00:45:48What do you mean?
00:45:53It's from surgery.
00:45:55I was born with a heart defect.
00:45:57Just like you.
00:45:58Really?
00:46:01I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:14Who is it?
00:46:15It's me.
00:46:17Lincoln.
00:46:18Hi.
00:46:19Hi.
00:46:20Hi.
00:46:21Hi.
00:46:22Can I see Malia?
00:46:24Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:25Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:26Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:30Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:31Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:32Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:37Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:38Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:40Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:42Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:44I see Malia.
00:46:47Can I see?
00:46:48Just like Malia, can I see Malia?
00:46:49Uh, can I know?
00:46:55Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:56Oh man.
00:46:57Can I see Malia?
00:46:58I can see Malia.
00:46:59Oh man, can I see Malia?
00:47:00Daddy, shh.
00:47:11It's okay, sweetie.
00:47:12I'm right here.
00:47:14Go back to sleep.
00:47:16No, stay.
00:47:19I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:22No, you stay too.
00:47:27It's all right with me.
00:47:30It's all right.
00:48:00Where do you think you're going?
00:48:05To find Malia.
00:48:08I already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:12We're all alone.
00:48:16What about work?
00:48:20Time off for good behavior.
00:48:21Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:35It wasn't a problem.
00:48:40Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:50Let me make it up to you.
00:48:55How are you going to do that?
00:48:57I don't know if I can take it.
00:49:02Must be a monster in my life.
00:49:04Let me show you.
00:49:05I don't know if I can take care of her.
00:49:07It feels like I've been faking.
00:49:09Think there's a stranger here instead.
00:49:11There you have it.
00:49:14Night, night.
00:49:16I lie awake.
00:49:18Wanna escape this.
00:49:20Home, day.
00:49:23The air is changing.
00:49:24You're like the neighbors.
00:49:29Somewhere with all these nightmares
00:49:34Where nobody can find me
00:49:37Let's run away
00:49:40Fire with all the pain
00:49:44You know, I think more people should try co-workers with benefits.
00:50:00So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:08Not really.
00:50:09Sorry, I, um
00:50:14I was just curious.
00:50:18Congenital heart defect.
00:50:20You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:21It's too much.
00:50:22Too much?
00:50:24This condition, these bills
00:50:26This scar
00:50:27My parents were incredible.
00:50:31They gave up everything for me.
00:50:33They drained their savings
00:50:34in what little life of wealth
00:50:35they built for themselves
00:50:36to try and make my life normal.
00:50:39And now they're gone.
00:50:42Car accident
00:50:42when I was a senior
00:50:44in high school.
00:50:46I begged them
00:50:47to have a night to themselves
00:50:48for once and then.
00:50:51Alex.
00:50:51Sorry, way too much information.
00:50:54Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:56You don't need to know my sob story.
00:51:01You know that Malia's heart condition
00:51:03is congenital.
00:51:04I know.
00:51:05She told me.
00:51:07Yeah, well
00:51:07she doesn't know everything.
00:51:09Look, I've never told anybody this
00:51:13but
00:51:13Malia was born with her defect
00:51:16because Camilla
00:51:17she took diet pills
00:51:21during the pregnancy
00:51:22so she wouldn't gain weight
00:51:23or lose out in modeling gigs.
00:51:26I only found out
00:51:27before it was too late.
00:51:29Oh my god.
00:51:31It's terrible.
00:51:32Truth is
00:51:34she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:37I did.
00:51:38I was the one
00:51:40who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:42Turns out she was just in it
00:51:44for a meal ticket.
00:51:45I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:49I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:51The only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:53is for the money.
00:51:56Not for me
00:51:57and certainly not for her daughter.
00:52:00You know,
00:52:00she's always been irresponsible
00:52:02but this latest stunt
00:52:04abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:06have you thought about pursuing soul custody?
00:52:11I want to
00:52:11but
00:52:11it's too risky
00:52:13and the courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:15I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:17They don't always.
00:52:22Malia told me
00:52:23this wasn't the first time
00:52:24Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:26What did she say to you?
00:52:28Camilla leaves her with her friends
00:52:30when she goes on work trips.
00:52:31It's dangerous
00:52:32and clearly her emotional needs
00:52:34aren't being met.
00:52:35I think you could have a case here.
00:52:37I don't know.
00:52:39I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:41I mean
00:52:41making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:44I can't do that.
00:52:46I know you want
00:52:47what's best for Malia
00:52:48and sharing her with Camilla
00:52:50isn't it.
00:52:52Maybe you should just give Camilla
00:52:54what she really wants
00:52:55and if that's money
00:52:57fine
00:52:57you have it.
00:53:00Malia deserves people in her life
00:53:02who care about her.
00:53:03You're right.
00:53:05Malia deserves better.
00:53:08I will talk to her this week.
00:53:22It seems like I owe you again.
00:53:27Greedy?
00:53:28I meant breakfast.
00:53:32You can cook?
00:53:34Yes, I can.
00:53:36For the right company.
00:53:37I should have known someone named Sugar
00:53:56would have such a sweet tooth.
00:53:57Shit, fuck.
00:54:01I'm sorry.
00:54:02I didn't mean to.
00:54:04It's okay.
00:54:05Really, it's
00:54:06actually kind of nice
00:54:08to have someone call me
00:54:09by my real name again.
00:54:11Thank you again
00:54:12for everything.
00:54:14I know this wasn't part
00:54:15of the job description
00:54:16and I'm sure dealing with my ex
00:54:18wasn't what you had in mind
00:54:19when my dad hired you.
00:54:20Right.
00:54:26Not exactly.
00:54:32He told you all of that?
00:54:34What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:36A saint?
00:54:37Hardly.
00:54:40Look,
00:54:41if I tell you something
00:54:42you promise not to say
00:54:43anything to anyone.
00:54:46Cross my heart, hope to die.
00:54:50Your dad is paying me
00:54:52to do this,
00:54:53to help Lakin.
00:54:56That's what a job is.
00:54:58You work for the company.
00:54:59You know that, right?
00:55:00You don't understand.
00:55:01Your dad offered
00:55:02to pay off my student loans
00:55:03and cover my medical bills
00:55:05for life
00:55:06if I stuck it out
00:55:06as Lakin's assistant.
00:55:08He wanted me to keep him
00:55:09away from Camilla.
00:55:10By any means necessary,
00:55:12he said.
00:55:14Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:16Fucking like rabbits.
00:55:18Coworkers with benefits,
00:55:20excuse me?
00:55:22It just,
00:55:22it seems wrong
00:55:23not to tell him.
00:55:25Why?
00:55:26Because you're helping him
00:55:27get his shit together
00:55:27and getting paid for it?
00:55:29Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:30It won't feel like that
00:55:31if he finds out.
00:55:32I don't think I'm just using him.
00:55:34Well,
00:55:35maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:37Chase,
00:55:38I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:40I think...
00:55:42I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:44So more than co-workers
00:55:49with benefits.
00:55:59Thanks 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
00:56:07your little sleepover.
00:56:09You know,
00:56:10I'd appreciate it
00:56:10if you told me
00:56:11before bringing another woman
00:56:12into our daughter's life.
00:56:14Especially that one.
00:56:15What do you mean by that one?
00:56:18Alex actually stepped up
00:56:19when you abandoned her
00:56:20to go clubbing in L.A.
00:56:21It was a work trip.
00:56:23Oh, really?
00:56:23She's already proven
00:56:34to be way better
00:56:34at taking care of Malia
00:56:35than you've ever been.
00:56:37Which is actually
00:56:37why I'm here.
00:56:39Enough is enough.
00:56:42I want sole custody.
00:56:44This is it?
00:56:46You want to break up
00:56:47our family
00:56:48for that lying little...
00:56:49You don't want a family.
00:56:51You just want my money.
00:56:52I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:54You think I want money?
00:56:56How much do you know
00:56:57about your little assistant?
00:56:59What do you mean?
00:57:03I hate
00:57:04to be the one
00:57:06to tell you this,
00:57:07but
00:57:07that girl
00:57:09is using you, Lakin.
00:57:15I overheard
00:57:16Jason Herr laughing about it
00:57:18in the break room
00:57:19earlier today.
00:57:19What do you mean
00:57:22she's using me?
00:57:24The only reason
00:57:25why she's working
00:57:26for you
00:57:26is because your dad
00:57:28promised to pay
00:57:29her medical bills
00:57:30if she kept you
00:57:30away from me.
00:57:33No, she wouldn't do that.
00:57:35That's not who she is.
00:57:37If you don't believe me,
00:57:39just ask your dad.
00:57:40Is it true?
00:57:51Lakin,
00:57:52what are you doing here?
00:57:53Did you hire Alex
00:57:54in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:59It was for your own good.
00:58:00Do not give me
00:58:01that father-knows-best routine.
00:58:03This is a complete
00:58:04betrayal of my trust.
00:58:05Your personal issues
00:58:06were affecting
00:58:07not only the business,
00:58:08but our family.
00:58:09That is absurd.
00:58:10This has nothing
00:58:11to do with the company.
00:58:12Your inability
00:58:13to cut Camilla
00:58:14from your life
00:58:14seriously calls
00:58:15into question
00:58:16your abilities
00:58:16as a leader.
00:58:18As it does
00:58:19the way you've
00:58:19closed yourself off
00:58:20from any connection,
00:58:21romantic or...
00:58:22So what?
00:58:22I can't be CEO
00:58:23if I don't open my heart?
00:58:25That is bullshit.
00:58:26My love life,
00:58:27your business.
00:58:28But the well-being
00:58:30of my granddaughter
00:58:31still is.
00:58:33I still...
00:58:33She's a smart girl
00:58:34with a good heart.
00:58:35She cares about Malia.
00:58:38And she challenges you.
00:58:40She's fired.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:43What are you doing here?
00:59:09We need to talk.
00:59:14We are?
00:59:15You want to explain
00:59:15what you were doing
00:59:16with your ex
00:59:17looking like you're
00:59:17getting back together?
00:59:20Is that why you
00:59:20haven't gotten custody
00:59:21of Malia?
00:59:22Because you still love her?
00:59:24God, I'm so fucking stupid.
00:59:26Were you ever going to tell me
00:59:27about your little deal
00:59:27with my dad?
00:59:28God, Alex,
00:59:31I...
00:59:32I trusted you.
00:59:33I...
00:59:34I told you things
00:59:35that I've told my family.
00:59:37And this whole time,
00:59:38you...
00:59:39You were just in it
00:59:40for the money.
00:59:42I...
00:59:43That was before
00:59:44anything happened
00:59:45between us.
00:59:46Lakin,
00:59:47I couldn't say no.
00:59:48That kind of money...
00:59:50You know my situation,
00:59:51but I never meant
00:59:52to hurt you.
00:59:53And fucking me, what?
00:59:53That was just a way
00:59:54to ensure job security?
00:59:56That's all I am to you.
00:59:58Just a transaction?
00:59:59Of course not.
01:00:02How dare you?
01:00:04Why should I believe you?
01:00:07You know,
01:00:07you're just like her.
01:00:10I am not like Camilla.
01:00:12Lakin,
01:00:12I care about you.
01:00:14You're fired.
01:00:15And this thing between us,
01:00:17that's over too.
01:00:28Let's go.
01:00:48Let's go.
01:00:48Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:14I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:18You're gonna let me in or what?
01:01:25You are out of your mind.
01:01:28Showing up here is insane.
01:01:29Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:31I don't.
01:01:33I've changed.
01:01:34I've heard that before.
01:01:36God, it turns me on
01:01:38when you act like...
01:01:38Alright, this is like a pandemic level
01:01:40of Postmates orders.
01:01:41Have you left your house yet?
01:01:43Well, I'm gonna try
01:01:44and get my old job back
01:01:45so I'll probably be out
01:01:46of the house
01:01:47five days a week.
01:01:49Girl, losing your job
01:01:50and getting dumped
01:01:51on the same day is a lot.
01:01:52You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:57I can't waste any more time
01:01:58on Lakin.
01:02:00God was so stupid
01:02:01thinking he actually
01:02:02cared about me.
01:02:03What's wrong with me?
01:02:18Nothing.
01:02:20Absolutely nothing.
01:02:27I'm sorry.
01:02:30I just...
01:02:33I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:41Hey.
01:02:43Text me, okay?
01:02:45It's because we don't work together
01:02:46doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:49I will.
01:02:51I promise.
01:02:55I don't have to wait.
01:03:03I don't have to wait.
01:03:23I don't have to wait.
01:03:25I don't have to wait.
01:03:27Hey, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:53I used to work here.
01:03:57Lincoln, come on man, open up.
01:04:09Really need to give me a key.
01:04:11You want a drink?
01:04:14Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:15Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:26Good you broke up with Alex.
01:04:30Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:32We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:36I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:40I don't.
01:04:42Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:45Very dramatic by the way.
01:04:47What do you care?
01:04:49She's all yours now.
01:04:51Her little deal with dad is mute and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:54Jesus Christ, Lincoln, I'm gay.
01:04:57Yeah.
01:04:58You're always so wrapped up in your own shit you never thought to ask your brother about
01:05:04his own life.
01:05:06I'm sorry.
01:05:07Really.
01:05:08I can't believe I didn't.
01:05:21Are you good?
01:05:27I'm good.
01:05:42Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:48But you're always flirting with her, Alex.
01:05:49I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:53She's a good person, Lincoln.
01:05:55She cares about you.
01:05:56A lot.
01:05:59She hated the deal.
01:06:01She hated lying to you.
01:06:03She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:08And why should I?
01:06:10It's not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:17It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:21Call her.
01:06:40Call her.
01:06:53Call her.
01:06:55Call her.
01:06:57Call her.
01:07:03Call inspection.
01:07:05Fuck him.
01:07:35So, that's $250,000 a year, every year?
01:07:44Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:46So, in nine more years then?
01:07:49Eight.
01:07:50You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:05Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:18You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:19She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:21I can't.
01:08:22I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:24Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:25Good fucking riddance.
01:08:38I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:41It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:44I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?
01:08:47If you don't want to excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:59Congrats, bro.
01:09:01Let's celebrate.
01:09:02Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:15Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:18Yeah.
01:09:20And now Malia has to live the rest of her life,
01:09:22knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:25On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:29You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:31What else could you want?
01:09:34Maybe a certain little assistant that help you get custody.
01:09:38She blocked my number.
01:09:40And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees,
01:09:43begging for her to take me back.
01:09:45That would make me look insane.
01:09:47Well, insane or romantic?
01:09:52She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:55And I don't blame her.
01:09:56Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back,
01:09:58but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:10:04She's working here again?
01:10:07Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:09Go get her.
01:10:24Hi.
01:10:25Ready to order?
01:10:26I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:35Alex.
01:10:37Lincoln?
01:10:40What are you doing here?
01:10:42Jace brought me to celebrate.
01:10:46I won full custody.
01:10:49Congratulations.
01:10:50Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:55Uh...
01:10:55Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.
01:11:00I made a huge mistake.
01:11:01Thanks.
01:11:03I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:08Alex, hey.
01:11:11I'm coming.
01:11:15You're OK.
01:11:17You're OK.
01:11:18You're OK.
01:11:20Whoa!
01:11:21Someone call 911!
01:11:24Help!
01:11:25It's OK.
01:11:26Yeah.
01:11:27Any update?
01:11:49There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but
01:11:52the doctor said that
01:11:55she's in critical condition
01:11:56that they're going to operate tomorrow
01:11:58and then her chances are 50-50.
01:12:02Jesus.
01:12:04Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:09The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:13And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't help either.
01:12:15I should have just left her alone.
01:12:18It's not your fault, Lincoln.
01:12:21And now Alex could...
01:12:22She could...
01:12:23Hey, stop.
01:12:24Don't talk like that.
01:12:26Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:38Jesus Christ.
01:12:38I was so worried.
01:12:40I was so worried.
01:12:54I thought...
01:12:55I thought that I might have lost you.
01:13:02I'm fine.
01:13:05You should leave.
01:13:07What?
01:13:08What are you talking about?
01:13:10Lincoln, why are you here?
01:13:12I'm here because I care about you.
01:13:14Because...
01:13:14Because you feel guilty.
01:13:15This is what you do.
01:13:18You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:21No.
01:13:22It's not like that.
01:13:23I don't want to be your charity case, Lincoln.
01:13:27I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:32You are not a burden.
01:13:34I don't think that.
01:13:36I'd like you to go.
01:13:37I don't...
01:13:57Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:19It's good to see you awake, you got me worried there for a minute, I got you something.
01:14:45This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:54Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:58It was dad.
01:15:00You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Malia
01:15:05while they can watch us over you here.
01:15:07Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:10Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:13He shouldn't have.
01:15:15You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:17Dad was good for it.
01:15:19It's done.
01:15:21I don't deserve it.
01:15:23What are you talking about?
01:15:25Look at me, Jace.
01:15:27I'm literally fucking scarred, why should I-
01:15:29Hey, Alex.
01:15:31You deserve love.
01:15:33It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:43I'm sorry.
01:15:44I'm sorry.
01:15:45I'm sorry.
01:15:46I'm sorry.
01:15:47I'm sorry.
01:15:48I'm sorry.
01:15:49I'm sorry.
01:15:50I just- I thought you might need some help.
01:15:52Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:15:53Well then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:15:58jesus sorry i didn't mean to scare you fuck i'm sorry i just
01:16:07i thought you might need some help doctor said no unnecessary stress
01:16:12well then you shouldn't have shown up
01:16:14sorry thank you but i've got it from here alex you're recovering from surgery
01:16:25let me at least help you inside
01:16:39malia asks about you all the time you know
01:16:54she misses you everyone misses you my dad jace
01:17:02and me
01:17:05it was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money
01:17:12i can see that now i've just i've spent my whole life thinking that i had to buy love
01:17:17and i've just been hurt so many times it's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything
01:17:23other than a blank check
01:17:24what you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you
01:17:33do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden
01:17:36they lost everything they had because of me
01:17:40hey but alex don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again
01:17:44they would do it exactly the same
01:17:45that's not sacrifice
01:17:48that's love
01:17:50i've been thinking about it a lot
01:17:53about what it means to give without expecting anything in return
01:17:58i can't change the fact that i've been given more than most
01:18:02but what you've taught me
01:18:05what your parents have taught me
01:18:07is that
01:18:09supporting someone
01:18:12it's not about an obligation
01:18:14or to force an outcome
01:18:15it is simply because
01:18:18you love them
