00:07:44welcome aboard
00:07:51let's get started did you bring your notepad from the restaurant

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

00:11:09the 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

00:20:38Do as I say, not as I do.
00:20:54You ready?
00:20:57You ready?
00:21:27So, 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?
00:21:48I 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.
00:22:03My 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.
00:22:18Hey, Alex.
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.
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:58Let's go.
00:23:18For 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. I know what you mean.
00:23:32I'll take that. I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:47It'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, 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. That was nothing.
00:24:23It 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. He's, you know.
00:24:42He's what?
00:24:43You don't know.
00:24:44You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind.
00:24:50So, 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.
00:25:04That's none of your concern.
00:25:06Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:12It's unprofessional.
00:25:13Well, what? This?
00:25:19This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:22Right.
00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.
00:25:28It's completely innocent.
00:25:29We're rarely touching.
00:25:37Lincoln.
00:25:40Dad.
00:25:42Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:47Miss Livingston?
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:51Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:02Wonderful 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.
00:26:15Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:18I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:21Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34I make it.
00:26:35What are you doing here?
00:26:37I just thought I'd stop by.
00:26:38I thought you could use the moral support.
00:26:40Where's Malia?
00:26:42I 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.
00:27:04Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:06Don't be a poor.
00:27:07It's a party.
00:27:09No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:10Am I right?
00:27:11Let'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?
00:27:28What are you doing?
00:27:30Are 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.
00:27:37You 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...
00:27:46I 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.
00:28:33Facts, 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?
00:28:47Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:52Malia's getting older.
00:28:53It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with our 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.
00:29:21Jesus.
00:29:23Don'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.
00:30:11Not 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.
00:30:34And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:40So that'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!
00:30:46Stop!
00:30:49Something funny?
00:30:54Time to go.
00:30:54It's okay.
00:31:07Arturo.
00:31:09Took 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?
00:31:35Charming 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.
00:31:54I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:16Yeah, well there's a lot you 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?
00:32:40It's a scar?
00:32:42It's a scar.
00:32:45Fuck me.
00:32:50Leave us that sun off away.
00:32:51Tonight we both were ready.
00:32:53I wanna get away.
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 stain.
00:33:01Cause I wanna be with you.
00:33:03I wanna be with you.
00:33:05I don't run away.
00:33:06We can't let this go too waste.
00:33:08Cause I don't wonder what it else made.
00:33:13Don't let this go too waste.
00:33:19Ah!
00:33:20Ah!
00:33:20You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:48Uh, no.
00:33:50Right, no, of course not.
00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:02Good morning.
00:34:21Good morning.
00:34:22I 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.
00:34:37Laken 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.
00:35:03Took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did, oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:07Yeah.
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.
00:35:29Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:32Great.
00:35:52Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:35:55Dad insisted.
00:35:56Something 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, uh, give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me!
00:36:21You?
00:36:22Ah, you're too tall.
00:36:23You know, 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.
00:36:33Hee hee hee.
00:36:35Are we expecting company?
00:36:37Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:36:49Alex?
00:36:55Alex?
00:36:56Lincoln?
00:36:58You made it!
00:36:58Ah!
00:36:59Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:24Me neither.
00:37:29It'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.
00:38:00All right.
00:38:04Miss Livingston, a 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?
00:38:25It'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 Lincoln 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?
00:38:43Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:47But I wanna hang out with Alex.
00:38:49Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:55It works for me.
00:39:09I'll be right back.
00:39:10Hey.
00:39:11Come on.
00:39:12Come on.
00:39:14Come on.
00:39:15Come on.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:18Come on.
00:39:19Come on.
00:39:20Come on.
00:39:22Come on.
00:39:23Come on.
00:39:35Come on.
00:39:48Come on.
00:39:51She likes you, you know?
00:39:55She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:39:59I like her, too.
00:40:07So, are we going to figure out what happened?
00:40:10Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:16Your job is not in danger.
00:40:17Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:25What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:31Not 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.
00:40:46I 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.
00:41:05But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:09Unprofessional?
00:41:09Unprofessional?
00:41:11I'm sleepwalking through all of my problems and no.
00:41:17I can't make it through.
00:41:20Every night it's the same.
00:41:22I keep running fast, left and right.
00:41:26Wondering where my head's gone now.
00:41:28I'm sleepwalking through all of my problems and no.
00:41:34I'm sleepwalking through all of my problems.
00:41:37Malia, hurry. Oh, come on. Let's go, Malia, come on.
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster!
00:41:46Hey, uh, Lakin's not here right now. He just landed in New York.
00:41:51New York. I know. But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:57Going to LA. Business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:02Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be childcare.
00:42:05I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:07Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey. It's okay, Malia.
00:42:25Alex, 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, 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?
00:43:02Everything is fine.
00:43:03I love you.
00:43:04I love you, too.
00:43:10I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:13So much for that family time she went.
00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:16Okay.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay. Bye.
00:43:28Okay, so we'll get you fed.
00:43:30I can help you with your homework.
00:43:31And by the time your dad gets back...
00:43:34Is that too much rice?
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:41Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of.
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so 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.
00:44:07She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit!
00:44:14I mean, shoot!
00:44:34Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:35Malia!
00:44:40I'm sorry.
00:44:41I didn't mean to.
00:44:56Better?
00:45:00Good.
00:45:05How would we order some pizza?
00:45:29Malia?
00:45:30Do 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?
00:45:47It's from surgery.
00:45:53I was born with a heart defect.
00:45:55Just like you.
00:45:57Really?
00:45:59I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:02I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:02What is it?
00:46:10I was like.
00:46:22Who is it?
00:46:23It's me.
00:46:32Lincoln.
00:46:33Hi.
00:46:36Hi.
00:46:38Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:53Daddy, shh.
00:47:09It'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.
00:47:26It's alright with me.
00:47:50Where do you think you're going?
00:47:52To find Malia.
00:47:54I already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:47:56We're all alone.
00:47:58What about work?
00:48:00Time off for good behavior.
00:48:02Thank you again.
00:48:03For real life.
00:48:04For real life.
00:48:05Thank you again.
00:48:06For real life.
00:48:07I think you're going.
00:48:08To find Malia.
00:48:09I've already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:11We're all alone.
00:48:13What about work?
00:48:15Time off for good behavior.
00:48:18Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:21It wasn't a problem.
00:48:25Apparently it is for her mother.
00:48:31Let me make it up to you.
00:48:33It's okay.
00:48:35It's okay.
00:48:36It wasn't a problem.
00:48:42Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:49Let me make it up to you.
00:48:54How are you gonna do that?
00:49:03Let me show you.
00:49:06Look, I've been faking.
00:49:07Think there's a stranger here.
00:49:09It's dead.
00:49:10There you have it.
00:49:12That night.
00:49:15Am I awake?
00:49:16I'm gonna escape this.
00:49:19Hold tight.
00:49:21The air is changing.
00:49:23Let's run away.
00:49:27You're like the neighbors.
00:49:29Somewhere away from all these nightmares
00:49:33where nobody can find me.
00:49:36Let's run away.
00:49:39Let's run away from all the pain.
00:49:42You know, I think more people should try co-workers with benefits.
00:49:54So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:07Not really.
00:50:08Sorry, I, um...
00:50:14I was just curious.
00:50:17Congenital 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.
00:50:25This scar.
00:50:26My parents were incredible.
00:50:29They gave up everything for me.
00:50:31They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:37And now they're gone.
00:50:40Car accident.
00:50:41When I was a senior.
00:50:42In high school.
00:50:44I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then...
00:50:49Alex.
00:50:50Sorry.
00:50:51Way too much information.
00:50:53Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:54You don't need to know my sob story.
00:51:00You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:51:02I know.
00:51:03She told me.
00:51:04Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:10Look, I've never told anybody this, but...
00:51:14Malia was born with her defect because Camilla...
00:51:19She 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.
00:51:31Truth is...
00:51:34She 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.
00:51:41Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:47I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:48And the only reason she wants to get back together...
00:51:53Is for the money.
00:51:55Not for me.
00:51:56Certainly not for her daughter.
00:51:58You know, she...
00:52:00She's always been irresponsible.
00:52:01But this latest stunt...
00:52:03Abandoning her daughter like that...
00:52:05It's...
00:52:07Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:09I want to, but...
00:52:11It's too risky.
00:52:13The courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:15I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:17They don't always...
00:52:21Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:25What did she say to you?
00:52:27Camilla 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.
00:52:38I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:40I mean...
00:52:41Making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:43I can't do that.
00:52:44I 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.
00:52:54And 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.
00:53:22Seems 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.
00:53:45Ta-da.
00:53:53I should have known someone near Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:53:59Shit. Fuck. I'm sorry.
00:54:01I didn't mean to.
00:54:03It's okay.
00:54:05Really, it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:54:11Thank you again for everything.
00:54:12I know this wasn't part of the job description.
00:54:15And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:23Right.
00:54:25Not exactly.
00:54:31He told you all of that?
00:54:33What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:35A saint?
00:54:36Hardly.
00:54:37Look.
00:54:39If I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:44Cross my inner hope to die.
00:54:46Your dad is paying me to do this. To help Lakin.
00:54:48That's what a job is. You work for the company. You know that, right?
00:54:49You don't understand. Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant. He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla. By any means necessary, he said.
00:54:59Now that Lakin and I are fucking like rabbits.
00:55:00Coworkers with benefits?
00:55:01Coworkers with benefits? Excuse me?
00:55:02It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:03Why? Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it? Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:06It won't feel like that if he finds out. He'll think i'm just using him.
00:55:07Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:09I know you don't have to find out.
00:55:10No, we're going to work with you.
00:55:11What are you doing?
00:55:12You're going to work with me?
00:55:13I've got my plan on this.
00:55:14Who's going to work with me?
00:55:15You're going to work with that?
00:55:16Why?
00:55:17Why?
00:55:18Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?
00:55:19It's just a win-win to me.
00:55:21I won't feel like that if he finds out. I think I'm just using him.
00:55:34Maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:37Chase, I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:39I think...
00:55:41I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:47So I'm more than co-workers 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.
00:56:08You 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 LA.
00:56:21It was a work trip.
00:56:22Oh, really?
00:56:22She'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.
00:56:40I want sole custody.
00:56:43So this 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.
00:56:51I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:53You think I want money?
00:56:56How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:57What do you mean?
00:57:02I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:08That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:10I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:21What 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.
00:57:32No, 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.
00:57:40Is 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
00:58:16as a leader.
00:58:16As in does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:21So what?
00:58:21I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?
00:58:23That is bullshit!
00:58:25Shit!
00:58:26My love life is none of your business.
00:58:28But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:58:33Alex is a smart girl with a good heart.
00:58:35She cares about Malia.
00:58:36She cares about Malia.
00:58:37And she challenges you.
00:58:39She is fired.
00:58:41Thanks to you.
00:58:43She is fired on me.
00:58:44She is fired.
00:58:45She is fired.
00:58:46She is fired.
00:58:47She is fired.
00:58:48I bet I'm fired.
00:58:49She is fired.
00:58:50All right.
00:58:51I guess I'm fired.
00:58:52What 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.
00:59:25Were 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...
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?
00:59:55That's all I am to you.
00:59:57Just a transaction?
00:59:58Of course not.
01:00:01How dare you?
01:00:02Why 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, that'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.
01:01:26Showing up here is insane.
01:01:28Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:30I don't.
01:01:32I've changed.
01:01:33I've heard that before.
01:01:35God, it turns me on when you act like...
01:01:37All right, 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,
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.
01:01:51You 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?
01:02:17Nothing.
01:02:19Absolutely nothing.
01:02:20I'm sorry.
01:02:29Just...
01:02:30I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:39Hey.
01:02:41Text 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.
01:03:15Text me, please.
01:03:18Text me, please.
01:03:19Text me, please.
01:03:19Text me, please.

01:03:41Text me, please.
01:03:42Text me, please.
01:03:43Text me, please.
01:03:44Text me, please.
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.
01:06:17What do you want to do?
01:06:40What do you want to say?
01:06:42Oh, I can't believe I was.
01:06:43I don't think I'm going to be able to do it, but I don't think I'm going to be able to do it.
01:07:13Fuck him.
01:07:32So, that's $250,000 a year?
01:07:36Every 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.
01:08:12You 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.
01:08:31I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:34It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:38I 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.
01:08:48Congrats, bro.
01:08:54Let's celebrate.
01:08:56Come on.
01:08:58Come on, we should be celebrating.
01:09:09Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11And now I'm going to say goodbye.
01:09:12Yeah.
01:09:13And 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.
01:09:30She 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.
01:09:39It 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?
01:10:00Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:18Hi.
01:10:19Ready to order?
01:10:20I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:29Alex.
01:10:30What are you doing here?
01:10:37Jace brought me to celebrate.
01:10:40I won full custody.
01:10:43Congratulations.
01:10:45Yeah, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:50Alex, I want to apologize.
01:10:54I made a huge mistake.
01:10:55Thanks.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:57I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:02Oh.
01:11:04Oh, okay.
01:11:10You okay?
01:11:12You okay?
01:11:14Help!
01:11:15Someone call 911!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20Any update?
01:11:34Any update?
01:11:44There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but
01:11:46the doctor said that she's in critical condition,
01:11:51that they're going to operate tomorrow,
01:11:53and that her chances are 50-50.
01:11:57Jesus.
01:11:58Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:01The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:07And 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.
01:12:31Hey, Lakin.
01:12:43Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:45Jesus Christ.
01:12:47I was so worried.
01:12:48I 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?
01:13:06I'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.
01:13:19I 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.
01:13:30I'd like you to go.
01:13:49Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:13Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:19It's good to see you awake.
01:14:23You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:29I got you something.
01:14:30This 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,
01:14:57so he's been helping out with Mulyo while Lakin 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.
01:15:32I'm sorry.
01:15:37I'm sorry.
01:15:39I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:43Fuck.
01:15:44I'm sorry.
01:15:44I just...
01:15:48I just...
01:15:52I 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.
01:16:22Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:50She misses you.
01:16:52Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad, Jace,
01:16:57and me.
01:17:03It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:07I can see that now.
01:17:09I've just...
01:17:09I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:12And 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,
01:17:28do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:31They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:34Hey, 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?
01:17:40That's not sacrifice.
01:17:42That's not sacrifice.
01:17:42That's love.
01:17:45I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:48about 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.
01:17:56But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me,
01:18:02is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:11It is simply because you love them.
01:18:15Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful woman
01:18:27that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:31I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:35And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it?
01:18:43How?
01:18:45Is that a...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:55Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:01I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:06I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:15Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:21Please.
01:19:25I love you, too.
01:19:26What are you doing next week?
01:19:50What are you doing next week?
01:19:54I want to take you to a party.
01:19:59Another gala?
01:20:01Something like that.
01:20:02And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:07Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:09Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:20Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:21Happy birthday to you.
01:20:26Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:26Happy you.
01:20:32Happy birthday.
01:20:33What am I supposed to do here, dear Malia?
01:20:35Amen.
01:20:35Happy birthday to you.
01:20:36A little mommy.
01:20:37Happy birthday to you.
01:20:38Just like me.
01:20:39Happy birthday to you.
01:20:40Happy birthday to you.
01:20:44Ashley?
01:20:44What did you wish for?
01:20:46A new mommy.
01:20:46It might not be the biggest present you get, but I think you'll like it.
01:20:51I have one too.
01:20:55Just like you.
01:21:16Yeah, the sky is going black, so come with us, don't hold back tonight.
01:21:25Yeah, the sky is going black, so come with us, don't hold back.
