00:07:30i'm still ceo for now you do as i say
00:07:44welcome aboard
00:07:51let's get started did you bring your notepad from the restaurant
00:08:00coffee black every day within five minutes of my arrival
00:08:05lunch will be at 1pm sharp no fast food are you writing this down i also need you to pick up my
00:08:14dry cleaning every week from amelio's oh 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
00:08:26that 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

00:10:58two seven this year this girl is overstepping she's jumping on executive leadership calls yes she was
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

00:21:28So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight,
00:21:41and 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.
00:21:57I think that's a very sweet man.
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. I didn't know.
00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:21Hey, Alex.
00:22:23I 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.
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:58For you.
00:23:19Hey, bro.
00:23:20Is that for me?
00:23:21Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:22And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:24Dane?
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.
00:23:55And besides,
00:23:57it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right.
00:24:02So,
00:24:15something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:20Jase?
00:24:21Of course not.
00:24:21That was nothing.
00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:26If I didn't know any better,
00:24:27I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:30Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:32I'm just
00:24:33looking out for my assistant.
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's,
00:24:40you know.
00:24:42He's what?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:48Never mind.
00:24:50So,
00:24:51you guys aren't that close then?
00:24:53Well, excuse me
00:24:53if I don't have time
00:24:54to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:24:56If you hadn't noticed,
00:24:58I'm somewhat busy running
00:24:59the largest shipping company
00:25:00in America.
00:25:02It's important to make time
00:25:03for family,
00:25:04Lincoln.
00:25:05That's none of your concern.
00:25:08Just focus on steering clear
00:25:09of an office romance,
00:25:11Miss Livingston.
00:25:12It's unprofessional.
00:25:13What, this?
00:25:19This is just
00:25:20two co-workers dancing.
00:25:22Right.
00:25:23A totally normal
00:25:25boss-slash-assistant
00:25:26slow dance.
00:25:28It's completely innocent.
00:25:30Hmm.
00:25:31They're rarely touching.
00:25:32We could have
00:25:36Ligon.
00:25:40Dad.
00:25:42Well, some of our board members
00:25:44are already here.
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:47Miss Livingston?
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:56Well, Mr. Harris
00:25:57was just saying
00:25:58that he was very impressed
00:25:59with your recent progress.
00:26:00Wonderful to see
00:26:02that you're finally
00:26:03settling in, Ligon.
00:26:08Miss Livingston
00:26:08has been a
00:26:09welcomed addition.
00:26:11Oh, yes.
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:14Nice work.
00:26:15Yes, and we're also
00:26:16improving transit times.
00:26:18I'll actually be
00:26:19in New York next week.
00:26:20Oh, I got that five
00:26:21things to come alive.
00:26:23It's a picture-perfect
00:26:24picture-perfect
00:26:25picture-perfect
00:26:27picture-perfect
00:26:28Oh, I got that
00:26:29power-perfect
00:26:30that must be
00:26:30team there
00:26:31and finalizing everything
00:26:32making sure
00:26:33everything's running
00:26:33smoothly.
00:26:34I like it.
00:26:35What are you doing here?
00:26:37I just thought I'd
00:26:37stop by.
00:26:38I thought you could
00:26:39use the moral support.
00:26:40Where's Malia?
00:26:42I got a babysitter.
00:26:43I think everyone knows
00:26:46Camilla, 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.
00:27:00As I was saying,
00:27:03the transit times
00:27:03in New York.
00:27:04Oh, come on,
00:27:05like it.
00:27:06Don't be a poor.
00:27:07It's a party.
00:27:09No one wants to talk
00:27:09about business.
00:27:10Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:13Maybe later.
00:27:14These gentlemen
00:27:15are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind
00:27:18if I steal them,
00:27:18do you?
00:27:19What are you doing?
00:27:29Are you drunk?
00:27:30The whole office is here.
00:27:32We never have
00:27:32any time together.
00:27:33And there's a reason
00:27:34for that, Camilla.
00:27:35We're not together anymore.
00:27:37You made that perfectly clear
00:27:38when you fucked
00:27:39my best friend.
00:27:40Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:42I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
00:27:44I just...
00:27:46I miss you.
00:27:49And I was thinking
00:27:49about how we used
00:27:50to come to these things
00:27:51together.
00:27:53I was hoping
00:27:53you'd dance with me.
00:27:56For all time's sake.
00:28:00One dance.
00:28:17Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:19Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Relax, 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
00:28:42bullshit about missing me.
00:28:44I know you.
00:28:45You want money, don't you?
00:28:46Have you given any more thought
00:28:49to the conversation
00:28:49we had the other day?
00:28:52Malia's getting older.
00:28:54It's only getting harder
00:28:55to take care of her,
00:28:56especially 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,
00:29:14I'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?
00:29:29Look at me.
00:29:32You don't want me to make a scene,
00:29:34do you?
00:29:35Because you know I will.
00:29:38Let me make something
00:29:39very clear to you.
00:29:41We are never getting back together,
00:29:43Camilla.
00:29:43You hear me?
00:29:44Ever.
00:29:45Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:29:48No.
00:29:48No.

00:30:13No.
00:30:20Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:21It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:30And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:34And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:38Oh my God!
00:30:39Oh my God!
00:30:40It's 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!
00:30:45Stop!
00:30:46Something funny?
00:30:49Time to go.
00:30:53It's ok.

00:33:37You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no.
00:33:52Right. No.
00:33:55Of course not.
00:33:57Well, 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.
00:36:33Hehehe.
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:49Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:57You made it!
00:36:58Didn'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.
00:37:47Look on the bright side.
00:37:48At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:59That was delicious.
00:38:00All right.
00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:05A word.
00:38:14Uh, Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:20Alex, I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:24Really?
00:38:24It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:32You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lakin some time alone.
00:38:37Thank you, Jace.
00:38:38You're very welcome.
00:38:39Jace, don't...
00:38:39Bye.
00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:47But I want to hang out with Alex.
00:38:49Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:56Works for me.
00:39:09I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:14Chill out.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:17Come on.
00:39:47She likes you, you know?
00:39:55She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:59I like her, too.
00:40:00So, are we gonna figure out what happened, or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:13What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:14What 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, but I also
00:40:36can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:41I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:42I want you, Alex.
00:40:43That's the problem.
00:40:44I want you, Alex.
00:40:46That's the problem.
00:40:48What if we separate church and state?
00:40:49At work, we're professional.
00:40:50At work, we're professional.
00:40:53But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:09I think the light is light
00:41:11I'm sleepwalking through
00:41:14All of my problems I know
00:41:16I can't make it through
00:41:20Every night it's the same
00:41:22I keep running fast
00:41:24Left and right
00:41:26Wondering where my head's going now
00:41:29I'm sleepwalking through
00:41:32All of my problems I know
00:41:35Malia, hurry, come on
00:41:39Oh, come on
00:41:41Let's go Malia, come on
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster!
00:41:46Hey, uh, Lakin's not here right now
00:41:49He just landed in New York
00:41:51New York, I know
00:41:53But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week
00:41:57Going to LA, business trip
00:41:59So, she's all yours
00:42:01Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be childcare
00:42:04I'm sure you'll figure something out
00:42:09Mommy loves you, Malia
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
00:42:34Alex, 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
00:42:52Hi, honey, are you okay?
00:42:54Hi
00:42:55Listen, uh
00:42:56Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but uh
00:42:58I'm going to be back tonight
00:42:59And 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
00:43:04I love you too
00:43:05I should've known she'd pull a stunt like this
00:43:12So much for that family time she went
00:43:14I will book the first flight out this evening
00:43:17Okay
00:43:18Okay, bye
00:43:19Okay, bye
00:43:28Okay, so we'll get you fed
00:43:29I can help you with your homework
00:43:31And by the time your dad gets back
00:43:34Is that Jewish rice?
00:43:37I'm sorry
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about
00:43:45Has your mom done this before?
00:43:49Sort of
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days
00:43:55So she can go on work trips
00:44:00Work trips?
00:44:01Huh
00:44:03Does your dad know about this?
00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him
00:44:08She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves
00:44:14Shit! I mean, shoot!
00:44:19Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:36I'm sorry, I didn't mean to
00:44:42I didn't mean to
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good
00:45:01How will we order some pizza?
00:45:04How will we order some pizza?
00:45:06I think so
00:45:29Malia?
00:45:31Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:39You can talk to me
00:45:42Believe me, I understand
00:45:46What do you mean?
00:45:51It's from surgery
00:45:52I was born with a heart defect
00:45:55Just like you
00:45:57Really?
00:45:59I didn't know anyone was like me
00:46:01Almost like me
00:46:22Who is it?
00:46:23It's me
00:46:24It's me
00:46:32Lincoln
00:46:34Hi
00:46:36Hi
00:46:38Can I see Malia?
00:46:39Can I see Malia?
00:46:40Daddy?
00:46:41Shh
00:46:43It's okay, sweetie
00:46:58I'm right here
00:46:59Daddy, shh.
00:47:10It's okay, sweetie.
00:47:11I'm right here.
00:47:13Go back to sleep.
00:47:15Oh, stay.
00:47:18I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:21No, you stay too.
00:47:26It's alright with me.
00:47:29It's alright.
00:47:59Where do you think you're going?
00:48:04To find Malia.
00:48:07I've already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:11We're all alone.
00:48:15What about work?
00:48:19Time off for good behavior.
00:48:20Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:34It wasn't a problem.
00:48:42Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:49Let me make it up to you.
00:48:50How are you going to do that?
00:49:03Let me show you.
00:49:04You're like the neighbors.
00:49:28You know, I think more people should try coworkers with benefits.
00:49:53So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:01Not really.
00:50:12Sorry.
00:50:12I was just curious.
00:50:18Congenital heart defect.
00:50:19You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:20It's too much.
00:50:21Too much?
00:50:22This condition.
00:50:23This condition.
00:50:24These bills.
00:50:26This scar.
00:50:27My parents were incredible.
00:50:30They gave up everything for me.
00:50:32They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:38And now they're gone.
00:50:41Car accident.
00:50:42When I was a senior.
00:50:43In high school.
00:50:45I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:50Alex.
00:50:50Sorry.
00:50:51Way too much information.
00:50:54Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:55You don't need to know my sob story.
00:51:00You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:51:03I know.
00:51:04She told me.
00:51:06Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:08Look, I've never told anybody this, but Malia was born with her defect because Camilla, she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out on modeling gigs.
00:51:25I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:28Oh my God.
00:51:30It's terrible.
00:51:32Truth is, she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:36I did.
00:51:38I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:42Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:47I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:48The only reason she wants to get back together is for the money, not for me, and certainly not for her daughter.
00:51:59You know, she's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt, you know, abandoning her daughter like that, it's...
00:52:06Have you thought about pursuing soul custody?
00:52:09I want to, but it's too risky.
00:52:12I mean, the courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:14I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:16They don't always...
00:52:18Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:25What did she say to you?
00:52:26Camilla 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.
00:52:35I think you could have a case here.
00:52:36I don't know.
00:52:37I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:40I mean, making her testify against her own mother, I can't do that.
00:52:45I know you want what's best for Malia, and sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:52Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants, and if that's money, fine.
00:52:57You have it.
00:52:59Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.
00:53:02You're right.
00:53:04Malia deserves better.
00:53:07I will talk to her this week.
00:53:21Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:26Greedy?
00:53:28I meant breakfast.
00:53:31You can cook?
00:53:33Yes, I can.
00:53:35For the right company.
00:53:37I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:53:56Shit, fuck, I'm sorry.
00:54:01I didn't mean to.
00:54:03It's okay.
00:54:04Really, it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:54:11Thank you again for everything.
00:54:13I know this wasn't part of the job description, and I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:20He told you all of that?
00:54:33What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:35A saint?
00:54:36Hardly.
00:54:39Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:44Cross my inner hope to die.
00:54:50Your dad is paying me to do this, to help Lakin.
00:54:53That's what a job is.
00:54:57You work for the company.
00:54:58You know that, right?
00:54:59You don't understand.
00:55:01Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant.
00:55:07He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:55:10By any means necessary, he said.
00:55:12Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits.
00:55:18Coworkers with benefits, excuse me.
00:55:21It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:25Why?
00:55:25Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:28Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:30It won't feel like that if he finds out.
00:55:32He'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:33Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:37Chase, I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:39I think, I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:47So more than coworkers with benefits.
00:55:58Thanks for meeting me.
00:56:00I wanted to talk to you about...
00:56:02Your new girlfriend?
00:56:04What?
00:56:05I know all about your little sleepover.
00:56:07You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life.
00:56:13Especially that one.
00:56:15What do you mean by that one?
00:56:17Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in L.A.
00:56:21It was a work trip.
00:56:22Oh, really?
00:56:23She'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.
00:56:41I want sole custody.
00:56:43This is it?
00:56:46You want to break up our family for that lying little...
00:56:49You don't want a family.
00:56:50You just want my money.
00:56:52I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:53You think I want money?
00:56:56How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:58What do you mean?
00:56:58I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:08That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:14I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:19What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:24The only reason why she's working for you...
00:57:26Is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.
00:57:33No, 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?
00:57:50Lakin, what are you doing here?
00:57:52Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:58It 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.
00:58:08That 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.
00:58:17As 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.
00:58:25My 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.
00:58:40She is fired.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:42What are you doing here?
00:59:08We need to talk.
00:59:13Oh yeah?
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, I'm so fucking stupid.
00:59:25Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:27God, 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...
00:59:41That was before anything happened between us.
00:59:45Lakin, I couldn't say no.
00:59:47That kind of money...
00:59:49You 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?
00:59:54That's all I am to you.
00:59:57Just 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.
01:00:09I am not like Camilla.
01:00:11Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:13You're fired.
01:00:14And this thing between us?
01:00:16That's over too.
01:00:17Let's go.
01:00:47Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:13I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:17You're going to let me in or what?
01:01:24You are out of your mind.
01:01:27Showing up here is insane.
01:01:28Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:30I don't.
01:01:32I've changed.
01:01:33I'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.
01:01:40Have you left your house yet?
01:01:42Well, I'm going to try and get my old job back, so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same days a lot.
01:01:51You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:53I can't waste any more time on Lakin.
01:01:59God was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:02What's wrong with me?
01:02:16Nothing.
01:02:18Absolutely nothing.
01:02:20I'm sorry.
01:02:29I just...
01:02:30I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:39Hey.
01:02:42Text me, okay?
01:02:43Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:45We will.
01:02:50I promise.
01:02:51I promise.
01:02:54Wait.
01:03:15Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:03:24Here we go.
01:03:25What are you looking for?
01:03:26Choose what happens.
01:03:26semanaSabah.
01:03:27Bye.
01:03:28Bye.
01:03:29Bye.
01:03:31Bye.
01:03:31Bye.
01:03:34Bye.
01:03:34Bye.
01:03:34Bye.
01:03:34Bye.
01:03:36Bye.
01:03:38Bye.
01:03:39Bye.
01:03:41Bye.
01:03:44Bye.
01:03:45Bye.
01:03:45Bye.
01:03:45Bye.
01:03:45Bye.
01:03:45Bye.
01:03:45Deerun TIME.
01:03:45Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:52I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.
01:04:04You 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.
01:04:15I 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.
01:04:36I don't.
01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:43What do you care?
01:04:44Sure. She'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, Lincoln, I'm gay.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:58You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:02I'm sorry.
01:05:10Really.
01:05:13I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:14Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:24I'm good.
01:05:24I'm good.
01:05:24Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:42But you're always flirting with her at...
01:05:44I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:45She's a good person, Lincoln.
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.
01:05:59And 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.
01:06:17Call her.
01:06:18Call her.
01:06:20Call her.
01:06:34Call her.
01:06:36Call her.
01:06:38I don't know.
01:07:08I don't know.
01:07:15Fuck him.
01:07:33So, 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?
01:07:51I don't know how old your daughter is.
01:07:52I don't know how old your daughter is.
01:07:54I don't know how old your daughter is.
01:07:56What can I do?
01:07:57It's a pleasure doing business with you.
01:07:59Pleasure doing business with you
01:08:07You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:13She's upstairs waiting
01:08:14I can't
01:08:16I have a flight to Miami in an hour
01:08:17Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:29Good fucking riddance
01:08:31I'm proud of you, son
01:08:34It 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 only excuse me
01:08:44I have a granddaughter to comfort
01:08:48Congrats, bro
01:08:54Let's celebrate
01:08:56Come on, we should be celebrating
01:09:08Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle
01:09:11Yeah
01:09:13And now Malia has to live the rest of her life
01:09:16Knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody
01:09:19On the positive side, Malia's all yours now
01:09:22You're going to be CEO in a month
01:09:24What else could you want?
01:09:28Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody
01:09:30She blocked my number
01:09:33And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees
01:09:37Begging for her to take me back
01:09:38It would make me look insane
01:09:41Well, insane or romantic
01:09:45She doesn't want to speak to me
01:09:47And I don't blame her
01:09:50Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back
01:09:52But I may have a hot tip on where you can find her
01:09:54She's working here again?
01:10:01Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her
01:10:04Hi
01:10:19Ready to order?
01:10:20I'll come back in a few minutes
01:10:22Alex
01:10:30Alex
01:10:30Lincoln
01:10:32Uh
01:10:33What are you doing here?
01:10:36Uh
01:10:36Jace brought me
01:10:37To celebrate
01:10:39I won full custody
01:10:42Congratulations
01:10:44Yeah, I, um
01:10:46I couldn't have done it without you
01:10:48Uh
01:10:50Alex, I, um
01:10:51I want to apologize
01:10:53I made a huge mistake
01:10:55Thanks
01:10:56Thank you
01:10:57I
01:10:57I've seen you take my break right now
01:10:59Alex, here
01:11:05You okay?
01:11:12You okay?
01:11:14Someone call 911
01:11:17Help
01:11:18It's okay
01:11:20Any update?
01:11:44There's only so much that they'll tell me right now
01:11:45But
01:11:46The doctor said that
01:11:49She's in critical condition
01:11:50They're gonna operate tomorrow
01:11:52And then her chances are 50-50
01:11:56Jesus
01:11:57Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress
01:12:01The stress that I fucking caused her
01:12:05And seeing me at the restaurant
01:12:08That couldn't have helped either
01:12:09I, I
01:12:10I should have just left her alone
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lincoln
01:12:13And now Alex could
01:12:16She could
01:12:17Hey, stop
01:12:18Don't talk like that
01:12:20Oh my god, Alex, you're awake
01:12:33Jesus Christ
01:12:46I was so worried
01:12:48I thought
01:12:49I thought that I might have lost you
01:12:53Thank you
01:12:56Thank you
01:12:56I'm fine
01:12:58You should leave
01:13:00What?
01:13:02What are you talking about?
01:13:04I-
01:13:04Lincoln, why are you here?
01:13:06I'm here because I care about you
01:13:08Because
01:13:08Because you feel guilty
01:13:09This is what you do
01:13:12You throw money at your problems
01:13:14To 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, Lincoln
01:13:19I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again
01:13:24You are not a burden
01:13:27I don't think that
01:13:29I'd like you to go
01:13:32I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:34I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:35I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:36I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:37I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:38I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:39I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:40I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:41I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:42I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:43I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:44I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:45I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:46I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:47I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:48I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:49I don't want to feel like I'm here
01:13:50Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:20It's good to see you awake, you had me worried there for a minute, I got you something.
01:14:45This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:49Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:52It was dad.
01:14:55You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Mulya
01:14:59while Aiken watches over you here.
01:15:01Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:05Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:08He shouldn't have.
01:15:09You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:12Dad was good for it.
01:15:13It's done.
01:15:14I don't deserve it.
01:15:17What are you talking about?
01:15:19Look at me, Jace.
01:15:20I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:15:22Why should I?
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:24You deserve love.
01:15:28It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:30It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:35I'm sorry.
01:15:39I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:41Fuck.
01:15:42I'm sorry.
01:15:43I just...
01:15:45I thought you might need some help.
01:15:47Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:15:49Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:15:50Sorry.
01:15:51Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:15:52Alex.
01:15:53I'm sorry.
01:15:54I'm sorry.
01:15:55I'm sorry.
01:15:56I'm sorry.
01:15:57I'm sorry.
01:15:58I'm sorry.
01:15:59I'm sorry.
01:16:00I'm sorry.
01:16:01I'm sorry.
01:16:02I'm sorry.
01:16:03I'm sorry.
01:16:04I'm sorry.
01:16:05I'm sorry.
01:16:06I'm sorry.
01:16:07I'm sorry.
01:16:08I'm sorry.
01:16:09I'm sorry.
01:16:10I'm sorry.
01:16:11I'm sorry.
01:16:12I'm sorry.
01:16:13I'm sorry.
01:16:14I'm sorry.
01:16:15I'm sorry.
01:16:16I'm sorry.
01:16:17But I've got it from here.
01:16:18Alex.
01:16:19You're recovering from surgery.
01:16:20Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:37Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:51She misses you.
01:16:53Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:03It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:07I can see that now.
01:17:08I've just, I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love, and I've just been
01:17:13hurt so many times.
01:17:14It'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
01:17:28really 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,
01:17:38they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:41That's not sacrifice.
01:17:42That's love.
01:17:43I've been thinking about it a lot, about what it means to give without expecting anything
01:17:52in return.
01:17:53I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:58But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me, is that supporting someone,
01:18:06it's not about an obligation or to force an outcome, it is simply because you love them.
01:18:17Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:29I can't stop.
01:18:30It's true.
01:18:31And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:36Prove it?
01:18:37How?
01:18:38Is that...
01:18:39Scars.
01:18:40Just like yours.
01:18:41Are those tattoos?
01:18:42I wanted it to be permanent.
01:18:43I love you, Alex.
01:18:44I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:18:49I love you.
01:18:53I love every single perfect inch of you.
