00:08:47i'm jace
00:08:49lucifer's angelic younger brother
00:08:51you are
00:08:52alex lincoln's new assistant and uh it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling
00:09:00i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:02alex
00:09:05get in here
00:09:06we need to roll some calls to south korea
00:09:08you're gonna need that
00:09:10coming
00:09:12we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure
00:09:19it's costing us
00:09:21labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times and
00:09:27shifting our operations to detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford right now
00:09:33so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:35i need solutions faster not more excuses people
00:09:40we're exploring alternatives
00:09:43nothing definitive yet
00:09:45um
00:09:48sorry to interrupt
00:09:50but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow
00:09:59so what
00:10:02you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:05uh
00:10:06no
00:10:07but
00:10:08i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure
00:10:17it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely
00:10:23actually that could work
00:10:25worth a shot
00:10:26i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:32is there anything else i should know about my business
00:10:34not yet
00:10:36not yet

00:11:16his employees threatened I am NOT threatened by her but she makes it look

00:34:22I can't believe I risked my job
00:34:33For a guy who doesn't give two shits about me
00:34:35It's not your fault
00:34:37Lakin 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
00:34:44He's a soft spot
00:34:45Lakin's got some serious trust issues
00:34:48Like, he needs therapy about it
00:34:51Camila really messed him up
00:34:53Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:57That bitch is a gold digger
00:34:59I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career
00:35:02It took him, like, three years to come to his senses
00:35:04And when he finally did
00:35:05And when he finally did
00:35:05Oh, surprise, surprise
00:35:06Guess who's suddenly pregnant
00:35:08Jesus
00:35:10Maybe it's just best to pretend like this never happened
00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot
00:35:17Look, I gotta run to a meeting
00:35:24How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:27Seven?
00:35:28I'll text you the details
00:35:29Yeah, I'm down
00:35:31Great
00:35:33Can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner
00:35:54Dad insisted
00:35:56Something about never getting to see Malia these days
00:35:59I wanted to have the gala postmortem at the office
00:36:03You know, like, normal business partners and not
00:36:06Family members
00:36:06Exactly
00:36:08Did 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
00:36:23No, my Malia, last time I saw her
00:36:25She was just about my knee high
00:36:27Ain'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
00:36:58Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex
00:37:23Me neither
00:37:25It's okay
00:37:36I don't like asparagus either
00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me
00:37:42He's right
00:37:44It is
00:37:46Look on the bright side
00:37:47At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:50Thank you
00:37:58That was delicious
00:37:59All right
00:38:01Miss Livingston
00:38:05A word
00:38:07Uh, Mr. Blainford
00:38:16About the other night
00:38:17I know the gala was a mess with Camilla
00:38:20Alex
00:38:21I'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
00:38:29You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone
00:38:36Thank you, Jace
00:38:38You're very welcome
00:38:39Jace, 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
00:38:51Works for me
00:38:57I'll be right back
00:39:10Hey
00:39:11Come on
00:39:14Come on
00:39:15Come on
00:39:17Come on
00:39:47She likes you, you know
00:39:54She's not normally so comfortable with strangers
00:39:58I like her too
00:40:00So, are we gonna figure out what happened?
00:40:11Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:13Your job is not in danger
00:40:17Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question
00:40:23What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:27I...
00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant
00:40:31Not with the board watching my every move
00:40:33But I also can't accept the fact that
00:40:38Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever
00:40:40I thought I did something wrong
00:40:45I want you, Alex
00:40:47That's the problem
00:40:49What if we separate church and state
00:40:59At work, we're professional
00:41:03But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional
00:41:09I think the light is sliding
00:41:11I'm sleepwalking through
00:41:14All of my problems, no
00:41:16I can't make it through
00:41:20Every night is the same
00:41:22I keep running fast
00:41:24Left and right
00:41:26Wondering where my head's gone
00:41:28I'm sleepwalking through
00:41:32All of my problems, no
00:41:35Malia, hurry, come on
00:41:39Go, come on
00:41:40Let's go, Malia, come on
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster
00:41:44Hey, uh, Lincoln's not here right now
00:41:50He just landed in New York
00:41:51I know
00:41:52But it turns out
00:41:54I 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
00:42:03I'm not really here to be child care
00:42:05I'm sure you'll figure something out
00:42:07Mommy loves you, Malia
00:42:11I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey
00:42:23It'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
00:42:47Hi, honey
00:42:53Are you okay?
00:42:53Hi
00:42:54Listen, uh
00:42:56Mommy had to go away for a little bit
00:42:58But, uh
00:42:59I'm going to be back tonight
00:43:00And in the meantime
00:43:00Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:02Everything is fine
00:43:03I love you
00:43:04I love you, too
00:43:05I 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
00:43:17Okay
00:43:17Okay
00:43:18Okay, bye
00:43:20Okay, 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
00:43:33Is that too much rice?
00:43:37I'm sorry
00:43:38You have nothing to be sorry about
00:43:41Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of
00:43:51Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days
00:43:55So she can go on work trips
00:43:58Work trips
00:44:01Huh
00:44:02Does 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
00:44:12Shit
00:44:14I mean
00:44:15Shoot
00:44:16Oh my god, Malia
00:44:35Malia
00:44:37I'm sorry
00:44:41I didn't mean to
00:44:43Better?
00:45:00Good
00:45:00How will we order some pizza?
00:45:06Oh
00:45:06Malia
00:45:30Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:34You can talk to me
00:45:41Believe me
00:45:43I understand
00:45:44What do you mean?
00:45:51It's from surgery
00:45:52I was born with a heart defect
00:45:55Just like you
00:45:56Really?
00:45:59I didn't know anyone was like me
00:46:02Who is it?
00:46:23It's me
00:46:24I can
00:46:33Hi
00:46:34Hi
00:46:37Hi
00:46:37Can I see Malia?
00:46:40Malia
00:46:40Daddy
00:46:54Shh
00:46:55Daddy, shh.
00:47:10It's okay, sweetie.
00:47:11I'm right here.
00:47:13Go back to sleep.
00:47:15No, stay.
00:47:16Stay.
00:47:18I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:21No, you stay too.
00:47:25It's all right with me.
00:47:55Where do you think you're going?
00:48:04To find Malia.
00:48:07I 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.
00:48:21Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:38It wasn't a problem.
00:48:42Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:44Let me make it up to you.
00:48:55How 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 co-workers with benefits.
00:49:54So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:07Not really.
00:50:12Sorry, I 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, these bills, this 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.
00:50:39And now they're gone.
00:50:41Car accident.
00:50:42I was a senior in high school.
00:50:45I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:50Alex.
00:50:50Sorry, way too much information.
00:50:54Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:55You don't need to know my sob story.
00:51:01You 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.
00:51:07Look, 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.
00:51:24I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:27Oh, my God.
00:51:30It's terrible.
00:51:32Truth is, she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:36I did.
00:51:37I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:42Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:44I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:50And the only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.
00:51:55Not for me, and certainly not for her daughter.
00:51:57You 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 sole custody?
00:52:10I want to, but it's too risky.
00:52:13I mean, the 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?
00:52:26Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips.
00:52:31It's dangerous, and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met.
00:52:35I 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, making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:43I can't do that.
00:52:45I know you want what's best for Malia.
00:52:48And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:52Maybe 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.
00:53:27Greedy?
00:53:28I meant breakfast.
00:53:31You can cook?
00:53:32Yes, I can.
00:53:35For the right company.
00:53:45Ta-da!
00:53:46I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:54:00Shit.
00:54:00Fuck.
00:54:00I'm sorry.
00:54:01I didn't mean to.
00:54:03It's okay.
00:54:04Really, it's...
00:54:06actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:54:09Thank you again for everything.
00:54:13I know this wasn't part of the job description.
00:54:16And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:24Right.
00:54:26Not exactly.
00:54:26Okay.
00:54:32He told you all of that?
00:54:33What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:35A saint?
00:54:37Hardly.
00:54:39Look.
00:54:40If I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:46Cross my inner hope to die.
00:54:50Your dad is paying me to do this.
00:54:53To help Lakin.
00:54:56That'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
00:55:05if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant.
00:55:08He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.
00:55:10By any means necessary, he said.
00:55:14Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits.
00:55:17Coworkers with benefits?
00:55:19Excuse me?
00:55:21It just...
00:55:22It 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.
00:55:32I don't 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...
00:55:41I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:47So more than co-workers with benefits.
00:55:49Thanks 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?
00:56:16Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in L.A.
00:56:21It was a work trip.
00:56:22Oh, really?
00:56:32She'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?
00:56:44You 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?
00:57:03I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:06That girl is using you, Lakin.
00:57:15I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.
00:57:21What do you mean she's using me?
00:57:22The only reason why she's working for you...
00:57:27...is 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...
00:57:37...just 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 in 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's fired.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:44What are you doing here?
00:59:10We need to talk.
00:59:11Oh 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?
00:59:29God, Alex, I...
00:59:31I trusted you.
00:59:32I...
00:59:33I told you things that I've never even told my family.
00:59:35And this whole time, you...
00:59:38You 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 gonna 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 gonna 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 day is a lot.
01:01:51You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:53I can't waste any more time on Lakin.
01:01:59I was so stupid thinking you actually cared about me.
01:02:02What's wrong with me?
01:02:17Nothing.
01:02:18Absolutely nothing.
01:02:20I'm sorry.
01:02:29I just...
01:02:30I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:34Hey.
01:02:42Text me, okay?
01:02:44Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:48We will.
01:02:50I promise.
01:02:51I promise.
01:02:51It's okay.
01:02:52It's okay.
01:02:54We'll wait.
01:03:18See you later.
01:03:49Hey, 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.
01:04:05You really need to give me a key.
01:04:09You want a drink?
01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:12So I can cabinet to the left.
01:04:19I 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.
01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:43What do you care?
01:04:45She'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, Lincoln, I'm gay.
01:04:51I don't know if 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.
01:05:07I'm sorry.
01:05:10Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:17Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:37Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:41But 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, 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.
01:06:02And why should I?
01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:06Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:17Call her.
01:06:25Call her.
01:06:26I think she's dream of being wised.
01:06:30I think she's a good person.
01:06:31She's just a little bit.
01:06:31She's a good person.
01:06:33I think she may be really big.
01:06:34I'm sorry.
01:06:35It's not too late to make it right.
01:06:38You're still in love.
01:06:39She's a good person.
01:06:40I don't even know.
01:06:41I'm sorry.
01:06:42I don't know.
01:06:43You're still in love.
01:06:43I don't know.
01:06:44You're still too late to make it.
01:07:15Fuck 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.
01:08:07You 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?
01:08:20Good fucking riddance.
01:08:33I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:35Only 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.
01:08:41All right?
01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:48Congrats, 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.
01:09:11And 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.
01:09:31She 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?
01:10:01Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:18Hi.
01:10:19Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:29Alex.
01:10:31What are you doing here?
01:10:37Jace brought me to celebrate.
01:10:41I won full custody.
01:10:44Congratulations.
01:10:44Yeah, 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 actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:02Oh, shit.
01:11:09You okay?
01:11:12You okay?
01:11:13You okay?
01:11:14Whoa!
01:11:15Someone call 911!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20I'm okay.

01:12:01the stress that I fucking
01:12:05caused her
01:12:05and seeing me at the restaurant
01:12:09that couldn't help either
01:12:09I should have just left her alone

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?
01:14:53It 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 they can watch us over here.
01:15:01Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:04Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:07He 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, why should I?
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:25You deserve love.
01:15:27It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:33Jesus.
01:15:45Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:47jesus sorry i didn't mean to scare you fuck i'm sorry i just
01:16:01i thought you might need some help doctor said no unnecessary stress
01:16:06well then you shouldn't have shown up
01:16:09sorry thank you but i've got it from here
01:16:17alex you're recovering from surgery
01:16:19let me at least help you inside
01:16:22malia asks about you all the time you know
01:16:49she misses you everyone misses you my dad jace
01:16:56and me
01:16:59it was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money
01:17:06i can see that now i've just i've spent my whole life thinking that i had to buy love
01:17:12and i've just been hurt so many times
01:17:14it's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check
01:17:18what you told me about your parents
01:17:24and how they sacrificed everything for you
01:17:27do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden
01:17:31they lost everything they had because of me
01:17:34yeah 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
01:17:43that's love
01:17:45i've been thinking about it a lot
01:17:48about what it means to give
01:17:51without expecting anything in return
01:17:53i can't change the fact that i've been given more than most
01:17:57but what you've taught me
01:17:59what your parents have taught me
01:18:02is that
01:18:04supporting someone
01:18:07it's not about an obligation
01:18:08or to force an outcome
01:18:10it is simply because
01:18:13you love them
