Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.
00:00:02Think of yourself as a fixer.
00:00:06What 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.
00:00:16You fire her and the war will find another CEO.
00:00:20I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:00:23I 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?
00:00:30Right.
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.
00:00:50She 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.
00:01:01She kept you away from me.
00:01:02I can't keep lying to him.
00:01:04I think I'm falling for him.
00:01:05I can't keep lying to him.

00:08:09are you writing this down i also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from amelio's
00:08:16oh and stay out of my personal life
00:08:22that'll be all for now i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:32that means you can go
00:08:39you can like lucifer his bark's worse than his bite trust me i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother
00:08:51you are alex lincoln's new assistant and uh it would be great if you didn't mention that super
00:08:58unprofessional name calling i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:02alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea you're gonna need that coming
00:09:16we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution
00:09:24centers are already slowing down operation times and shifting our operations to detroit might create
00:09:30bottlenecks we just can't afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:37i need solutions faster not more excuses people we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:47um sorry to interrupt
00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail
00:09:58contracts to offset the overflow huh so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:05uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but
00:10:12cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure it wouldn't solve all of
00:10:18your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely
00:10:22actually that could work worth a shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at
00:10:29it and sort out the details is there anything else i should know about my business not yet
00:10:36uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all
00:10:51alex has to go absolutely not she stays look dad i understand that i've been through an assistant or two
00:10:58seven this year this girl is overstepping she's jumping on executive leadership calls yes she was right
00:11:06but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my position with the
00:11:10board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job lincoln a good leader isn't threatened by
00:11:17his employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control
00:11:23well the board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive
00:11:29and weak you have to keep alex what are you saying you fire her and the board will find another ceo
00:11:59hey melia right how are you feeling better thank you for helping me the other day of course you know

00:22:46May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:47We know we'd want to put a camera in trust.
00:22:50It's just the way of love a wedding you've done.
00:22:52Why do we feel like we're not good enough?
00:22:54Why don't we live our love?
00:22:56Why don't we love our love?
00:22:57I see you, baby.

00:23:51Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:53Everyone else is dancing. It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:57And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:03Right.
00:24:04So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:08Jase? Of course not. That was nothing.

00:34:22Morning
00:34:24I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me
00:34:37It's not your fault, Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know
00:34:41Me, dad
00:34:43But I've seen how he is with Malia and
00:34:46He's a soft spot
00:34:47Laken's got some serious trust issues
00:34:50Like, he needs therapy about it
00:34:53Camilla really messed him up
00:34:55Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:59That bitch is a gold digger
00:35:01I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career
00:35:05Took him like three years to come to his senses
00:35:07And when he finally did
00:35:07Oh, surprise, surprise
00:35:09Guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10I can't
00:35:11Jesus
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
00:35:19Look
00:35:20I gotta run to a meeting
00:35:27How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:30Seven?
00:35:30I'll text you the details
00:35:31Yeah, I'm down
00:35:34Great
00:35:49Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner
00:35:56Dad insisted
00:35:58Something about never getting to see Malia these days
00:36:01I wanted to have the gala postmortem at the office
00:36:05You know, like normal business partners and not
00:36:08Family members
00:36:09Exactly
00:36:10Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me
00:36:23You?
00:36:24Ah, you're too tall
00:36:25No, my Malia, last time I saw her
00:36:28She 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
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:39Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:51Alex?
00:36:59Lincoln?
00:37:00You made it
00:37:00Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex
00:37:25Me neither
00:37:28It's okay
00:37:39I don't like asparagus either
00:37:41My dad says I have to eat it
00:37:43Because it's healthy for me
00:37:45He's right
00:37:46It is
00:37:48Look on the bright side
00:37:50At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:52Thank you
00:38:00That was delicious
00:38:01All right
00:38:03Miss Livingston
00:38:07A word
00:38:10Uh, Mr. Blainford
00:38:18About the other night
00:38:19I know the gala was a mess with Camilla
00:38:22Alex
00:38:23I'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
00:38:32You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:35I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone
00:38:38Thank you, Jace
00:38:40You're very welcome
00:38:41Jace, don't
00:38:42Bye
00:38:42Wanna 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
00:38:51Please, Daddy, please
00:38:53Works for me
00:38:59I'll be right back
00:39:12Hey
00:39:14Come on
00:39:15Come on
00:39:16Come on
00:39:17Come on
00:39:19Come on
00:39:21Come on
00:39:35Come on
00:39:35Come on
00:39:36She likes you, you know?
00:39:58She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:40:01I like her, too.
00:40:06So, are we going to figure out what happened, or 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.
00:40:27What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:29I can't get involved with my assistant, not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:36But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:45I 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 asleep walking through
00:41:16All of my problems are new
00:41:18I can't make it through
00:41:22Every night is the same
00:41:25I keep running fast
00:41:26Left and right
00:41:28Wondering where my head's gone now
00:41:31I'm asleep walking through
00:41:34All of my problems are new
00:41:37Let's go, Leah, come on
00:41:44Let's go, Leah, come on
00:41:45Mom!
00:41:46Faster!
00:41:49Hey, uh, Lincoln'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
00:41:58Going to LA
00:42:00There's a strip
00:42:02So, she's all yours
00:42:03Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be childcare
00:42:07I'm sure you'll figure something out
00:42:11Mommy loves you, Malia
00:42:15I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:21Why doesn't she want to be with me?
00:42:23Hey, hey, it's okay, Malia
00:42:39Alex, what's going on?
00:42:40Hey, we have a problem
00:42:41Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left
00:42:44She said she can't take care of this week after all
00:42:46What?
00:42:47Let me talk to her
00:42:53Hi, honey, are you okay?
00:42:55Hi
00:42:56Listen, uh, mommy had to go away for a little bit
00:42:59But, uh, I'm gonna be back tonight
00:43:01And in the meantime, Alex is gonna take care of you, okay?
00:43:03Everything is fine
00:43:04I love you
00:43:05I love you too
00:43:06I love you too
00:43:11I should've known she'd pull a stunt like this
00:43:14So much for that family time she went
00:43:16I woke up the first flight out this evening
00:43:19Okay
00:43:20Okay, bye
00:43:25Okay, so we'll get you fed, I can help you with your homework
00:43:31And by the time your dad gets back
00:43:35Is that too much 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
00:43:53Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days
00:43:56So she can go on work trips
00:43:59Or trips
00:44:02Or trips
00:44:03Huh
00:44:05Does your dad know about this?
00:44:07I'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! I mean, shoot!
00:44:29Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:30Malia!
00:44:31I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
00:44:32I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
00:44:36Better?
00:44:37Good.
00:44:38How will we order some pizza?
00:44:40How will we order some pizza?
00:44:41I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
00:44:45Better?
00:44:58Better?
00:44:59Good.
00:45:02How about we order some pizza?
00:45:08Malia?
00:45:31Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:37You can talk to me. Believe me, I understand.
00:45:47What do you mean?
00:45:52It's from surgery. I was born with a heart defect. Just like you.
00:45:58Really? I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:07Who is it?
00:46:11It's me.
00:46:17It's me.
00:46:23Lincoln. Hi.
00:46:27Hi.
00:46:37Hi. Can I see Malia?
00:46:41Daddy.
00:46:57Daddy.
00:47:11It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here. Go back to sleep.
00:47:15Oh, stay.
00:47:18I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:21No. You stay too.
00:47:24It's alright with me.
00:47:28No.
00:47:29You stay all alone with me.
00:47:31No.
00:47:33No.
00:47:35No.
00:47:36No.
00:47:37No.
00:47:38No.
00:47:39No.
00:47:40Oh.
00:47:41No.
00:47:42No.
00:47:43No.
00:47:45No.
00:47:46No.
00:47:47No.
00:47:48No.
00:47:49No.
00:47:50No.
00:47:51No.
00:47:52where do you think you're going to find Malia I already had the driver pick her up and take
00:48:10you to school we're all alone what about work time off for good behavior thank you again for taking care of her
00:48:35wasn't a problem
00:48:40apparently it is for her mother
00:48:45let me make it up to you
00:48:52how are you going to do that
00:49:04let me show you
00:49:05it feels like I've been faking think there's a stranger here instead
00:49:11that you haven't
00:49:13you like the name
00:49:29you know I think more people should try coworkers with benefits
00:49:41you know I think more people should try coworkers with benefits
00:49:54so you want to tell me what happened there
00:50:03not really
00:50:13sorry I um I was just curious
00:50:16congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much
00:50:22too much this condition these bills this scar my parents were incredible
00:50:30they gave up everything for me they drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal now they're gone
00:50:40car accident
00:50:42car accident when I was a senior in high school
00:50:46I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then
00:50:48Alex
00:50:51sorry way too much information
00:50:55especially from a fuck buddy you don't need to know my sob story
00:50:57you know that we is our condition is congenital
00:51:05she told me
00:51:06yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:09look I've never told anybody this but
00:51:13Malia was born with her defect because Camilla
00:51:17she took diet pills during the pregnancy
00:51:22so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out in modeling gigs
00:51:26I only found out before it was too late
00:51:29oh my god
00:51:31it's terrible
00:51:33truth is
00:51:35she never really wanted to have a baby
00:51:37I did
00:51:39I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family
00:51:43turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket
00:51:48I'm so sorry Lincoln
00:51:51the only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:54is for the money
00:51:56not for me and certainly not for her daughter
00:52:01she's always been irresponsible but this latest stunt
00:52:04abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:08have you thought about pursuing sole custody
00:52:11I want to but it's too risky
00:52:14the courts usually side with the mother
00:52:15I can't risk losing my daughter
00:52:18they don't always
00:52:22Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this
00:52:26what did she say to you
00:52:28Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips
00:52:31it's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met
00:52:36I think you could have a case here
00:52:37I don't know
00:52:39I don't want to put her through that I mean
00:52:41making her testify against her own mother
00:52:43I can't do that
00:52:45I know you want what's best for Malia
00:52:48and sharing her with Camilla isn't it
00:52:51maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants
00:52:55and if that's money fine you have it
00:52:59Malia deserves people in her life who care about her
00:53:02you're right
00:53:04Malia deserves better
00:53:06I will talk to her this week
00:53:18thank you
00:53:18thank you
00:53:23seems like I owe you again
00:53:27greedy
00:53:29I meant breakfast
00:53:30you can cook
00:53:33yes I can
00:53:35for the right company
00:53:37I should have known someone near Sugar would have such a sweet tooth
00:54:00shit fuck I'm sorry I didn't mean to
00:54:04it's okay
00:54:04really it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again
00:54:12thank you again for everything
00:54:14I know this wasn't part of the job description
00:54:16and I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:24great
00:54:26not exactly
00:54:27he told you all of that
00:54:33what are you a miracle worker
00:54:36a saint
00:54:36hardly
00:54:38look
00:54:41if I tell you something you promise not to say anything to anyone
00:54:46cross my heart hope to die
00:54:47bye
00:54:51your dad is paying me to do this to help lakin
00:54:56that's what a job is you work for the company you know that right
00:55:00you don't understand your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for
00:55:05life if I stuck it out as lakin's assistant
00:55:08he wanted me to keep him away 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
00:55:18co-workers with benefits excuse me
00:55:22it just it seems wrong not to tell him
00:55:26why because you're helping him get his
00:55:27shit together and getting paid for it seems like a win-win to me
00:55:30i won't feel like that if he finds out i don't think i'm just using him
00:55:34well maybe he doesn't have to find out
00:55:37jace i can't keep lying to him i think
00:55:42i think i'm falling for him
00:55:48so more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:58thanks for meeting me
00:56:01i wanted to talk to you about your new girlfriend
00:56:05what i know all about your little sleepover
00:56:09you know i'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life
00:56:14especially that one what do you mean by that one
00:56:18alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in l.a it was a work trip oh really
00:56:28she's already proven to be way better at taking care of malia than you've ever been
00:56:36which is actually why 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 our family for that lying little
00:56:49you don't want a family you just want my money i see right through you camilla
00:56:54you think i want money
00:56:57how much do you know about your little assistant what do you mean
00:57:03i hate to be the one to tell you this but that girl is using you lacon
00:57:11i overheard jason her laughing about it in the break room earlier today
00:57:22what do you mean she's using me
00:57:25the only reason why she's working for you
00:57:27is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me
00:57:33no she wouldn't do that that's not who she is
00:57:37if you don't believe me just ask your dad
00:57:49is it true
00:57:51lacon what are you doing here did you hire alex in order to keep tabs on me
00:57:59it was for your own good
00:58:00do not give me that father knows best routine
00:58:03this is a complete betrayal of my trust your personal issues were affecting not only the
00:58:07business but our family that is absurd this has nothing to do with the company your inability to
00:58:13cut camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader
00:58:18as it does the way you close yourself off from any connection romantic or so what i i can't be ceo
00:58:23if i don't open my heart that is bullshit my love life your business but the well
00:58:29being of my granddaughter still is it's a smart girl with a good heart she cares about malia
00:58:38and she challenges you she's fired thanks to you

00:59:09we need to talk
00:59:14yeah you want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together
00:59:20is that why you haven't gotten custody of malia because you still love her god i'm so stupid
00:59:26were you ever gonna tell me about your little deal with my dad
00:59:28god alex i trusted you i i told you things that i've told my family and this whole time
00:59:39you were just in it for the money
00:59:41i that was before anything happened between us lakin i couldn't say no
00:59:48that kind of money you know my situation but i never meant to hurt you and fucking me what that
00:59:53was just a way to ensure job security that's all i am to you just a transaction of course not

01:01:18You gonna let me in or what?
01:01:24You walk out of your line.
01:01:26Showing up here is insane.
01:01:28Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:30I don't.
01:01:32I've changed.
01:01:34I've heard that before.
01:01:36God, it turns me on when you act like...
01:01:38Alright, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:40Have you left your house yet?
01:01:42Well, I'm gonna try and get my old job back,
01:01:44so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.
01:01:52You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:56I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:02:00You're so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:10What's wrong with me?
01:02:16Nothing.
01:02:18Absolutely nothing.
01:02:26I'm sorry.
01:02:28I just...
01:02:30I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:34Hey.
01:02:42Text me, okay?
01:02:44Just cause we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:48I will.
01:02:50I promise.
01:02:52people have a picture of Sparta in the room.
01:02:54I'm so thankful.
01:02:56I promise.
01:02:58I have to admit.
01:03:00I will be alone tonight.
01:03:06I will be alone tonight.
01:03:08I will be alone tonight.
01:03:10I will be alone tonight.
01:03:12I will be alone tonight.
01:03:14Wait.
01:03:46Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:54I used to work here.
01:03:58Hey, Ken, come on, man, open up.
01:04:08Really need to give me a key.
01:04:13You want a drink?
01:04:14Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:15Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:25Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:29Can'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.
01:04:37I don't.
01:04:41Is 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, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:05:02Yeah.
01:05:04You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about
01:05:07his own life.
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:16Really.
01:05:18I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:21Are you good?
01:05:29I'm good.
01:05:30I'm good.
01:05:30Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:48But you're always flirting with her, Al.
01:05:49I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:51She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:55She cares about you.
01:05:57A lot.
01:06:00She hated the deal.
01:06:01She hated lying to you.
01:06:04She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:08And why should I?
01:06:10Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:16Look, it's not too late to make it right.

01:07:21Fuck him.
01:07:38So, that's $250,000 a year?
01:07:43Every year?
01:07:44Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:46So, in nine more years then?
01:07:49Eight.
01:07:49Eight. You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:11Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:18You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:19She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:21I can't. I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:24Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:36Good fucking riddance.
01:08:39I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:40It 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?
01:08:48If you gentlemen will excuse me,
01:08:51I 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.
01:09:17And now, Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing 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?
01:09:32Maybe a certain little assistant that helped 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 begging for her to take me back.
01:09:45It would make me look insane.
01:09:47Huh?
01:09:48Insane or romantic?
01:09:51She 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.
01:10:21Hi.
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.
01:10:44To celebrate.
01:10:46I want full custody.
01:10:49Congratulations.
01:10:50Yeah, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:56Alex, 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.
01:11:10Alex, hey.

01:14:02Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:27It's good to see you awake.
01:14:29You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:32I got you something.
01:14:50This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:56Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:59It was Dad.
01:14:59You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Mulya while 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.
01:15:18It's done.
01:15:19I don't deserve it.
01:15:23What are you talking about?
01:15:25Look at me, Jace.
01:15:26I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:15:28Why should I...
01:15:28Hey, Alex.
01:15:31You deserve love.
01:15:35It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:37Jesus.
01:15:57Sorry.
01:16:03I didn't mean to scare you.
01:16:05Fuck.
01:16:06I'm sorry.
01:16:06I just...
01:16:07I thought you might need some help.
01:16:10Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:13Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:14Sorry.
01:16:20Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:22Alex.
01:16:23You're recovering from surgery.
01:16:26Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:27Okay.
01:16:44Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:55She misses you.
01:16:58Everyone misses you.
01:16:59My dad, Jace,
01:17:02and me.
01:17:08It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:12I can see that now.
01:17:14I've just...
01:17:15I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:18And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:20It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:28What you told me about your parents
01:17:30and how they sacrificed everything for you,
01:17:33do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:38They 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,
01:17:44and they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:47That's not sacrifice.
01:17:49That's love.
01:17:51I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:54About 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,
01:18:08is that
01:18:09supporting someone is not about an obligation
01:18:14or to force an outcome.
01:18:16It is simply because
01:18:18you love them.
01:18:20Miss Livingston,
01:18:23Miss Livingston,
01:18:23Miss Livingston,
01:18:25you are the most
01:18:26selfless,
01:18:28independent,
01:18:30strong,
01:18:32beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:36I can't stop.
01:18:38It's true.
01:18:39And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:44I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:47Prove it?
01:18:48How?
01:18:57Is that...
01:18:59Scars.
01:19:01Just like yours.
01:19:04Are those tattoos?
01:19:05I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:11I love you, Alex.
01:19:13I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:21Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:26Please.
01:19:30I love you too.
01:19:35What are you doing next week?
01:20:01I want to take you to a party.
01:20:02Another gala?
01:20:07Something like that.
01:20:09And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:12Who is it?
01:20:14You'll see.
01:20:22Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:25Happy birthday to you.
01:20:39What'd you wish for?
01:20:41You, mommy.
01:20:44One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:46I got you something.
01:20:52It might not be the biggest present you get,
01:20:54but I think you'll like it.
01:20:57I have one too.
01:21:01Just like you.
01:21:01And I won't feel...
01:21:18I don't...
01:21:23What's going like, don't come with us, don't hold back tonight
01:21:30What's going like, don't come with us, don't hold back
