00:08:26that means you can go
00:08:41lakin i like lucifer
00:08:43this bark's worse than his bite trust me i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are
00:08:53alex lincoln's new assistant and uh it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional
00:08:59name 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
00:09:30might create bottlenecks we we just can't afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash
00:09:35while you evaluate i need solutions faster not more excuses people we're exploring alternatives
00:09:43nothing definitive yet
00:09:48um sorry to interrupt
00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail
00:09:58contracts to offset the overflow huh so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics uh
00:10:06no but 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 it wouldn't solve all of your
00:10:18problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely actually that could work
00:10:24work worth a shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:32is there anything else i should know about my business not yet
00:10:41uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all

00:11:04right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my position with
00:11:09the board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job like a good leader isn't threatened
00:11:16by his employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control
00:11:22well the board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive
00:11:28and weak you have to keep alex what are you saying you fire her and the board will find another ceo

00:21:11Oh.
00:21:13Oh.
00:21:15So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight and you lied to me.
00:21:45Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:51I thought only HR saw that.
00:21:55Oh, don't be embarrassed, Sugar. I think that's a very sweet name.
00:22:00I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.
00:22:06My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:11I see.
00:22:14I apologize.
00:22:15I didn't know.
00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:20Hey.
00:22:23Alex.
00:22:26I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:34I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:37I'll be right back.
00:22:37Look at you.
00:22:46You look stunning.
00:22:49Let's see the dress.
00:22:53Let's get to turn you and me straight.
00:22:55Picked it out just for you.
00:22:56It's perfect.
00:22:57Let me have this dance, my lady.
00:22:58For you.
00:23:18Hey, bro.
00:23:20Is that for me?
00:23:20Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:22And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:27Date?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29My guest.
00:23:30You know what I mean.
00:23:31Yeah, sure.
00:23:31I know what you mean.
00:23:32I'll take that.
00:23:33I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:34It's just a dance.
00:23:48Do not be weird about this.
00:23:50Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:51Everyone else is dancing.
00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:54And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right.
00:24:14So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:20Jace?
00:24:21Of course not.
00:24:21That was nothing.
00:24:22It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:26If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:30Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:32I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's, you know.
00:24:42He's what?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind.
00:24:49So, you guys aren't that close then.
00:24:53Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:24:57If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.
00:25:01It's important to make time for family, Lincoln.
00:25:05That's none of your concern.
00:25:08Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:12It's unprofessional.
00:25:17What?
00:25:17This?
00:25:19This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:21Right.
00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.
00:25:28It's completely innocent.
00:25:30Hmm.
00:25:31They're rarely touching.
00:25:37Lincoln.
00:25:40Dad.
00:25:41Dad.
00:25:42Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:47Miss Livingston?
00:25:48Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:01Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:08Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:11Oh, yes.
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:14Nice work.
00:26:14Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:18I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:30Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34Hey, Lincoln.
00:26:35What are you doing here?
00:26:36I just thought I'd stop by.
00:26:38I thought you could use the moral support.
00:26:41Where's Malia?
00:26:41I got a babysitter.
00:26:44I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:51Who's this?
00:26:52No one.
00:26:54Just my assistant.
00:26:57Alex.
00:26:58Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:01As I was saying, the transit time's in New York.
00:27:04Come on, Lincoln.
00:27:06Don't be a poor.
00:27:07It's a party.
00:27:08No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:10Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:13Maybe later.
00:27:14These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:27What are you doing?
00:27:29Are you drunk?
00:27:30The whole office is here.
00:27:32We never have any time together.
00:27:33And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:27:35We're not together anymore.
00:27:36You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.
00:27:40Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:42I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
00:27:44I just...
00:27:45I miss you.
00:27:49And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.
00:27:53I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:27:56For old time's sake.
00:28:00One dance.
00:28:01One dance.
00:28:01Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:25This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Max Lincoln.
00:28:34So tense.
00:28:36I could fix that, you know.
00:28:39What do you want, hmm?
00:28:41And don't give me some bullshit about missing me.
00:28:44I know you.
00:28:45You want money, don't you?
00:28:46Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:52Malia's getting older.
00:28:54It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.
00:28:59We should be a family.
00:29:01We tried.
00:29:02And failed miserably.
00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla, don't.
00:29:11Kiss me.
00:29:12If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:20Stop.
00:29:20Jesus.
00:29:24Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:27Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me.
00:29:32You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:35Because you know I will.
00:29:38Let me make something very clear to you.
00:29:41We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:29:43You hear me?
00:29:44Ever.
00:29:45Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:29:48Not having any fun?
00:30:13Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:28It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:31And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:35And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:38It's like the last call, right?
00:30:41I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:30:43Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.
00:30:44Oh, my God.
00:30:46Stop.
00:30:49Something funny?
00:30:54Time to go.
00:30:59Okay.
00:30:59Arturo, took Miss Livingston home.
00:31:10You're being incredibly rude.
00:31:12You know that?
00:31:12You're getting wasted at a company party.
00:31:15It's totally inappropriate.
00:31:17Don't you inappropriate me.
00:31:19Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.
00:31:20You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:22Okay, first of all, she's my ex.
00:31:25And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:27I'm a CEO.
00:31:28Interrupt.
00:31:30Right.
00:31:31Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:31:34What, my title not good enough for you?
00:31:35Charm your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:37CEO this week, chairman the next.
00:31:40Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.
00:31:42What do you care anyway?
00:31:44I thought you weren't attracted to me.
00:31:46I'm not.
00:31:48Oh, yeah?
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:51Liar.
00:31:58I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:16Yeah, well, there's a lot.
00:32:17You don't know about me.
00:32:18That cost $8,000.
00:32:28Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:31Now get the hell over here.
00:32:39Is that a scar?
00:32:42It's odd.
00:32:43Fuck me.
00:32:47Fuck me.
00:32:49Leave us at some of the way tonight.
00:32:51We both love you.
00:32:53I wanna be with you.
00:32:55I wanna be with you.
00:32:57We can't let this slip away.
00:32:59You know, I won't give a stay.
00:33:01Cause I wanna be with you.
00:33:03I wanna be with you.
00:33:05I run away.
00:33:06We can't let this go to waste.
00:33:08I don't want to put it out.
00:33:10You know, I won't give a stay.
00:33:37You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:48Uh, no.
00:33:52Right. No.
00:33:55Of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:07Morning.
00:34:21Morning.
00:34:31I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.
00:34:36It's not your fault. Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:39Me. Dad.
00:34:41But I've seen how he is with Malia, and...
00:34:44She's a soft spot.
00:34:46Laken's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:49Like, he needs therapy about it.
00:34:52Camilla really messed him up.
00:34:54Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:57That bitch is a gold digger.
00:35:00I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.
00:35:02It took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did,
00:35:05Oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus.
00:35:12Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:22Look, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:25How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details.
00:35:30Yeah.
00:35:31I'm down.
00:35:32Great.
00:35:33Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:54Dad insisted.
00:35:57Something about never getting to see Malia these days.
00:36:00I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.
00:36:03You know, like normal business partners and not...
00:36:06Family members.
00:36:07Exactly.
00:36:12Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me!
00:36:20You?
00:36:22Ah, you're too tall.
00:36:24No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.
00:36:28Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm.
00:36:31Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:33Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:49Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it!
00:36:58You made it!
00:36:58I didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:24Me neither.
00:37:28It's okay, I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:44He's right.
00:37:45It is.
00:37:46Look on the bright side, at least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:54Thank you, that was delicious.
00:38:00Alright.
00:38:02Miss Livingston, a word.
00:38:08Uh, Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:19Alex, I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:23Really?
00:38:24It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:27Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:30You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:32I just thought I'd give you and Lakin some time alone.
00:38:36Thank you, Jace.
00:38:37You're very welcome.
00:38:38Jace, don't.
00:38:39Bye.
00:38:40Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:47But I wanna hang out with Alex.
00:38:49Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:52It works for me.
00:39:09I'll be right back.
00:39:10Hey.
00:39:11Come on.
00:39:12Come on.
00:39:13Come on.
00:39:14Come on.
00:39:15Come on.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:17Come on.
00:39:18Come on.
00:39:21Come on.
00:39:27She likes you, you know?
00:39:54She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:59I like her, too.
00:40:01So, are we gonna figure out what happened, or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:15Your job is not in danger.
00:40:19Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:25What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:28I can't get involved with my assistant, not 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.
00:40:45I want you, Alex.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:55What if we separate church and state?
00:41:00At work, we're professional.
00:41:04But outside of work, we're...
00:41:07Unprofessional?
00:41:09I think the light is like...
00:41:11I'm asleep walking through all of my problems, I know.
00:41:16I can't make it through.
00:41:20Every night is the same.
00:41:22I keep running fast, left and right.
00:41:25Wondering where my head's gone now.
00:41:28I'm asleep walking through all of my problems, I know.
00:41:34Malia, hurry, come on.
00:41:38Oh, come on.
00:41:40Let's go, Malia, come on.
00:41:42Mom!
00:41:43Faster!
00:41:46Hey, uh, Lakin's not here right now.
00:41:49He just landed in New York.
00:41:50New York.
00:41:51I know.
00:41:52But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:56Going to LA.
00:41:58Business trip.
00:41:59So, she's all yours.
00:42:01Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be childcare.
00:42:05I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:09Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:11Mwah.
00:42:13I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't she want to be with me?
00:42:21Hey, hey.
00:42:23It's okay, Malia.
00:42:31Alex, what's going on?
00:42:39Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:40Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:43She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:45What?
00:42:46Let me talk to her.
00:42:51Hi, honey. Are you okay?
00:42:53Hi.
00:42:54Listen, uh, Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:42:58I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:01Everything is fine.
00:43:02I love you.
00:43:03I love you, too.
00:43:09I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:12So much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:14I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:16Okay.
00:43:17Okay.
00:43:18Bye.
00:43:19Bye.
00:43:27Okay, so we'll get you fed, I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad gets back...
00:43:33Is that too much rice?
00:43:36I'm sorry.
00:43:38You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:45Has your mom done this before?
00:43:49Sort of.
00:43:51Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work trips.
00:43:59Work trips.
00:44:01Huh.
00:44:03Does your dad know about this?
00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:07She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:13Shit! I mean, shoot!
00:44:18Oh my god! Malia!
00:44:19Malia!
00:44:20Malia!
00:44:21I'm sorry.
00:44:22I didn't mean to.
00:44:23Oh my god!
00:44:24Malia!
00:44:25Malia!
00:44:26I'm sorry.
00:44:27I didn't mean to.
00:44:28I didn't mean to.
00:44:29I'm sorry.
00:44:30I didn't mean to.
00:44:31I'm sorry.
00:44:32I didn't mean to.
00:44:33Better?
00:44:34Good.
00:44:36I'm sorry.
00:44:37I'm sorry.
00:44:38I didn't mean to.
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:41I'm sorry.
00:44:42I didn't mean to.
00:44:43I'm sorry.
00:44:44I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:44:57Good.
00:44:58How about we order some pizza?
00:45:06Malia, do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:36You can talk to me. Believe me, I understand.
00:45:46What do you mean?
00:45:51It's from surgery. I was born with a heart defect, just like you.
00:45:56Really? I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:06Who is it?
00:46:23It's me.
00:46:28Lincoln. Hi.
00:46:36Hi. Can I see Malia?
00:46:40Daddy, shh.
00:47:08It's okay, sweetie. I'm right here. Go back to sleep.
00:47:14Oh, stay.
00:47:18I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:20No, you stay too.
00:47:24It's alright with me.
00:47:34I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:36You stay too.
00:47:50No.
00:47:52where do you think you're going to find Malia I already had the driver pick her up and take
00:48:09her to school we're all alone what about work hmm time off for good behavior
00:48:21thank you again for taking care of her
00:48:34wasn't a problem
00:48:39apparently it is for her mother
00:48:44let me make it up to you
00:48:51how are you going to do that
00:48:56let me show you
00:49:04you're like the neighbors
00:49:28you know I think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:54so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:01not really
00:50:08sorry I um I was just curious
00:50:15congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much
00:50:21too much
00:50:22this condition these bills this scar my parents were incredible they 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 and now they're gone
00:50:39car accident
00:50:41car accident when I was a senior in high school I begged them to have a night to themselves for
00:50:47for once and then
00:50:50Alex sorry way too much information especially from a fuck buddy you don't need to know my sob story
00:50:56you know that Malia's heart condition is congenital I know she told me yeah well she doesn't know everything
00:51:07look I've never told anybody this but Malia was born with her defect because Camila she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out modeling gigs I only found out before it was too late
00:51:26oh my god
00:51:28oh my god
00:51:30it's terrible
00:51:31truth is
00:51:33she never really wanted to have a baby
00:51:35I did
00:51:37I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family
00:51:40turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket
00:51:43I'm so sorry Lincoln
00:51:48the only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:52is for the money
00:51:54not for me
00:51:56certainly not for her daughter
00:51:58you know she's always been irresponsible but this latest stunt abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:05it's
00:52:06have you thought about pursuing sole custody
00:52:09I want to but it's too risky
00:52:12I mean the courts usually side with the mother I can't risk losing my daughter
00:52:16they don't always
00:52:19Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camila's done something like that
00:52:23what did she say to you
00:52:26Camila leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips
00:52:30it's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met
00:52:34I think you could have a case here
00:52:36I don't know
00:52:37I don't want to put her through that
00:52:39I mean making her testify against her own mother
00:52:42I can't do that
00:52:44I know you want what's best for Malia
00:52:47and sharing her with Camila isn't it
00:52:51maybe you should just give Camila what she really wants
00:52:54and if that's money fine
00:52:56you have it
00:52:58Malia deserves people in her life who care about her
00:53:01you're right
00:53:03Malia deserves better
00:53:05I will talk to her this week
00:53:07I will talk to her this week
00:53:16thank you
00:53:21seems like I owe you again

00:54:01I didn't mean to
00:54:03it's okay

00:54:06actually kinda nice to have someone call me by my real name again
00:54:10thank you again for everything
00:54:13I know this wasn't part of the job description
00:54:15and I'm sure dealing with my ex
00:54:17wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:23right
00:54:25not exactly
00:54:26I'm sorry
00:54:31he told you all of that?
00:54:33what are you a miracle worker?
00:54:34a saint?
00:54:36hardly
00:54:39look
00:54:40if I tell you something
00:54:41you promise not to say anything to anyone
00:54:45cross my inner hope to die
00:54:50your dad is paying me to do this
00:54:52to help Lakin
00:54:53that's what a job is
00:54:56you work for the company
00:54:57you know that right?
00:54:58you don't understand
00:55:00your dad offered to pay off my student loans
00:55:02and cover my medical bills for life
00:55:04if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant
00:55:07he wanted me to keep him away from Camilla
00:55:09by any means necessary
00:55:11he said
00:55:13now that Lakin and I are
00:55:14fucking like rabbits
00:55:16co-workers with benefits
00:55:18excuse me
00:55:19excuse me
00:55:21it just
00:55:22it seems wrong not to tell him
00:55:24why?
00:55:25cause you're helping him get his shit together
00:55:26and getting paid for it
00:55:27seems like a win-win to me
00:55:29it won't feel like that if he finds out
00:55:31he'll think I'm just using him
00:55:33well
00:55:34maybe he doesn't have to find out
00:55:36Chase
00:55:37I can't keep lying to him
00:55:38I think
00:55:40I think I'm falling for him
00:55:43so more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:49thanks for meeting me
00:55:55I wanted to talk to you about
00:55:57your new girlfriend
00:55:59what?
00:56:01I know all about your little sleepover
00:56:04you know I'd appreciate it if you told me
00:56:05before bringing another woman into our daughter's life
00:56:07I know all about your little sleepover
00:56:08you know I'd appreciate it if you told me
00:56:09before bringing another woman into our daughter's life
00:56:12especially that one
00:56:14what do you mean by that one?
00:56:16Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in LA
00:56:20it was a work trip
00:56:21oh really?
00:56:23she's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been
00:56:35which is actually why I'm here
00:56:36enough is enough
00:56:38enough is enough
00:56:40I want sole custody
00:56:42so this is it?
00:56:45you want to break up our family?
00:56:47for that lying little
00:56:48you don't want a family
00:56:50you just want my money
00:56:51I see right through you Camilla
00:56:53you think I want money?
00:56:55how much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:57what do you mean?
00:56:58what do you mean?
00:57:02I hate to be the one to tell you this
00:57:05but
00:57:07that girl is using you Lakin
00:57:10I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today
00:57:18what do you mean she's using me?
00:57:21what do you mean she's using me?
00:57:23the only reason why she's working for you
00:57:26is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills
00:57:29if she kept you away from me
00:57:32no she wouldn't do that
00:57:34that's not who she is
00:57:36if you don't believe me
00:57:38just ask your dad
00:57:39is it true?
00:57:49Lakin what are you doing here?
00:57:52did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:57it was for your own good
00:57:59do not give me that father knows best routine
00:58:02this is a complete betrayal of my trust
00:58:04your personal issues were affecting not only the business but our family
00:58:07that is absurd
00:58:09this has nothing to do with the company
00:58:11your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader
00:58:16as it does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection romantic or
00:58:21so what? I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?
00:58:24that is bullshit!
00:58:26my love life is none of your business
00:58:28but the well-being of my granddaughter still is
00:58:32Alex is a smart girl with a good heart
00:58:35she cares about Malia
00:58:37and she challenges you
00:58:39she is fired
00:58:41thanks to you
00:58:42what are you doing here?
00:58:43we need to talk
00:58:44what are you doing here?
00:58:45we need to talk
00:58:46we are?
00:58:47you want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like your girlfriend?
00:58:48you want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like your girlfriend?
00:58:49you're getting back together?
00:58:50what are you doing here?
00:58:51we need to talk
00:58:52we are? you want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like your getting back together?
00:58:56What are you doing here?
00:59:10We need to talk.
00:59:13We are?
00:59:14You want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:19Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:21Because you still love her?
00:59:23God, it was so fucking stupid.
00:59:24Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:29God, Alex, I trusted you.
00:59:32I told you things that I've never even told my family.
00:59:36And this whole time, you were just in it for the money.
00:59:41I, that was before anything happened between us.
00:59:45Lakin, I couldn't say no.
00:59:47That kind of money, you know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you.
00:59:52And fucking me what?
00:59:52That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:55That's all I am to you, just a transaction?
00:59:58Of course not.
01:00:01How dare you?
01:00:03Why should I believe you?
01:00:06You know, you're just like her.
01:00:08I am not like Camilla.
01:00:11Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:13You're fired.
01:00:14And this thing between us, that's over too.
01:00:17Let's go.
01:00:17Let's go.
01:00:47Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:12I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:15You're going to let me in or what?
01:01:22You are out of your mind.
01:01:26Showing up here is insane.
01:01:27Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:29I don't.
01:01:30I've changed.
01:01:32I've changed.
01:01:33I've heard that before.
01:01:35God, it turns me on when you act like...
01:01:37Alright, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:39Have you left your house yet?
01:01:41Well, I'm going to try and get my old job back, so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:47Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.
01:01:51You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:54I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:01:57I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:01What's wrong with me?
01:02:16Nothing.
01:02:17Nothing.
01:02:18Absolutely nothing.
01:02:19I'm sorry.
01:02:20I just...
01:02:21I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:24Hey.
01:02:25Text me, okay?
01:02:26Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:31I will.
01:02:32I promise.
01:02:33The bug that you still see you.
01:02:34I lost your blood.
01:02:35I will.
01:02:36I will.
01:02:37I will.
01:02:39I will.
01:02:40You have to try.
01:02:45I think I'm only going to be alone tonight.
01:02:51Hey.
01:02:52Text me, okay?
01:02:54If it works together, doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:03:28Hey, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:52I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, Katie, come on, man.
01:03:55Open up.
01:03:58You really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:11Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:13I heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:25Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:28We were just fucking and now we're not.
01:04:32I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.
01:04:33I don't.
01:04:37Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:43What do you care?
01:04:45She's all yours now.
01:04:46Her little deal with dad is mute and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:50Jesus Christ.
01:04:51Lakin, I'm gay.
01:04:51You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about
01:05:01his own life.
01:05:07I'm sorry.
01:05:10Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:17Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:24Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:42But you're always flirting with her, Alex.
01:05:44I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:47She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:49She cares about you.
01:05:51A lot.
01:05:54She hated the deal.
01:05:55She hated lying to you.
01:05:58She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:02And why should I?
01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:10Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:24They have to.
01:06:24They have to.
01:06:29They do.
01:07:12Fuck him.
01:07:32So, that's $250,000 a year.
01:07:37Every year.
01:07:38Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:40So, in nine more years, then?
01:07:43Eight.
01:07:44You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:05Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:10You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:13She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:15I can't.
01:08:16I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:18Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:19Good fucking riddance.
01:08:33I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:35It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:37I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?
01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:53Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on.
01:09:07We should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:12Yeah.
01:09:14And now Malia has to live the rest of her life, knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:20On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:23You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:25What else could you want?
01:09:28Maybe a certain little assistant that'll help you get custody?
01:09:32She blocked my number.
01:09:34And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:38It would make me look insane.
01:09:41Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:46She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:49And I don't blame her.
01:09:50Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:58She's working here again?
01:10:01Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:08Hi.
01:10:19Ready to order?
01:10:20I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:29Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:33Uh, what are you doing here?
01:10:36Uh, Jace brought me.
01:10:38To celebrate.
01:10:41I won full custody.
01:10:43Congratulations.
01:10:45Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:49Uh.
01:10:50Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.
01:10:54I made a huge mistake.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:57I, I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:04Okay.
01:11:05You okay?
01:11:11You okay?
01:11:12You okay?
01:11:14Help!
01:11:15Someone call 911!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20It's okay.
01:11:20waiting for me.
01:11:21it's okay.
01:11:38Any update?
01:11:38There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but the doctor said that she's in critical condition, that they're going to operate tomorrow, and that her chances are 50-50.
01:11:57Jesus.
01:11:58Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:03The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:05And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either.
01:12:10I should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lakin.
01:12:15And now Alex could...
01:12:16She could...
01:12:17Hey, stop.
01:12:18Don't talk like that.
01:12:19Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:45Jesus Christ.
01:12:47I was so worried, I thought...
01:12:49I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:57I'm fine.
01:12:59You should leave.
01:13:02What?
01:13:03What are you talking about?
01:13:04Lakin, why are you here?
01:13:05I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:08Because you feel guilty.
01:13:11This is what you do.
01:13:12You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:15No.
01:13:16It's not like that.
01:13:17I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.
01:13:21I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:26You are not a burden.
01:13:28I don't think that.
01:13:29I would like you to go.
01:13:59Morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:21It's good to see you awake.
01:14:23You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:29I got you something.
01:14:45This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:53It was dad.
01:14:55You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode,
01:14:58so he's been helping out with Mulya while Aiken watches over you here.
01:15:01Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:04Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:08He shouldn't have.
01:15:09You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:11Dad was good for it.
01:15:13It's done.
01:15:15I don't deserve it.
01:15:17What are you talking about?
01:15:19Look at me, Jace.
01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:15:22Why should I...
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:24You deserve love.
01:15:29It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:32Jesus.
01:15:38I'm sorry.
01:15:53I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:59Fuck.
01:16:00I'm sorry.
01:16:01I just...
01:16:02I thought you might need some help.
01:16:04Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:07Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:13Sorry.
01:16:15Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:17Alex.
01:16:18You're recovering from surgery.
01:16:20Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:22I'm sorry.
01:16:22I'm sorry.
01:16:22I'm sorry.
01:16:22I'm sorry.
01:16:22I'm sorry, but I've got it from here.
01:16:24I'm sorry.
01:16:24I'm sorry, but I've got it from here.
01:16:26I'm sorry.
01:16:26I'm sorry, but I've got it from here.
01:16:28Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:49She misses you.
01:16:51Everyone misses you.
01:16:53My dad, Jace, and me.
01:16:59It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:06I can see that now.
01:17:08I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love, and I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:14Alex, it's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:23What you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you, do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:31They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:35Hey, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again, they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:41That's not sacrifice.
01:17:44That's love.
01:17:45I've been thinking about it a lot, about what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:53I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most, 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.
01:18:10It 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.
01:18:31I can't stop.
01:18:32It's true.
01:18:35And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it? How?
01:18:52Is that...
01:18:53Scars.
01:18:55Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:00I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:06I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:16Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:20Please.
01:19:25I love you, too.
01:19:30What are you doing next week?
01:19:55I want to take you to a party.
01:19:57Another gala?
01:20:01Something like that.
01:20:03And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:07Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:09Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:21Happy birthday to you.
01:20:28What did you wish for?
01:20:34A new mommy.
01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:44I got you something.
01:20:47It might not be the biggest present you get, but I think you'll like it.
01:20:52I have one, too.
01:20:55Just like you.
01:20:56Now we're in the rain.
01:20:58I feel fine.
01:21:10Why?
01:21:10We did not run.
01:21:16Long?
01:21:16Well, yeah.
01:21:18Yeah.
01:21:18That's my story.
01:21:19We did not run.
01:21:19So come with us, don't hold back
01:21:25And I don't have the skies going black
01:21:29So come with us, don't hold back
