Transcript

00:00:00I'd like to offer you an executive assistant position.

00:00:03I'm not interested in being someone's babysitter.

00:00:05Think of yourself as a fixer.

00:00:08What are you doing here?

00:00:10I work here.

00:00:11Must be a pity hire.

00:00:12Better than daddy buying my position for me.

00:00:15Dad, I understand that I've been through an assistant or two.

00:00:18This girl is overstepping.

00:00:19You fire her and the world will find another CEO.

00:00:23I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.

00:00:25I need you to stay.

00:00:26It's just a dance.

00:00:27Do not be weird about this.

00:00:29And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?

00:00:33Right.

00:00:40I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.

00:00:44Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.

00:00:50It's not easy on her poor little heart.

00:00:52She likes you, you know?

00:00:53She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.

00:00:56That girl is using you, Lincoln.

00:00:59The only reason why she's working for you

00:01:01is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills

00:01:03if she kept you away from me.

00:01:05I can't keep lying to him.

00:01:07I think I'm falling for him.

00:01:08It's not easy on her.

00:01:32I don't know.

00:08:55alex lincoln's new assistant and uh it would be great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional

00:09:02name calling i've said worse your secret's safe with me

00:09:08alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea

00:09:12you're gonna need that

00:09:15coming

00:09:15we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution

00:09:27centers are already slowing down operation times and shifting our operations to detroit might create

00:09:34bottlenecks we we just can't afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate

00:09:39i need solutions faster not more excuses people we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet

00:09:51um sorry to interrupt

00:09:56but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail contracts to offset the overflow

00:10:03uh so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics uh no but i was looking over last

00:10:13quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but cleveland's underutilized and you're already

00:10:18paying for the rail infrastructure it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the

00:10:23detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely actually that could work worth a shot

00:10:30i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details

00:10:35is there anything else i should know about my business

00:10:39not yet

00:10:45uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all

00:11:01two seven this year this girl is overstepping she's jumping on executive leadership calls yes she was

00:11:08right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my position with the

00:11:13board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job lincoln a good leader isn't threatened by

00:11:20his employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control well

00:11:26the board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive

00:11:32and weak you have to keep alex oh what are you saying you fire her and the board will find another ceo

00:11:52hey malia right how are you feeling better thank you for helping me the other day of course you

00:21:23So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight,

00:21:43and you lied to me.

00:21:48Your name's not Alexandra, is it?

00:21:53I thought only HR saw that.

00:21:56Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar.

00:22:01I think that's a very sweet name.

00:22:03I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.

00:22:09My parents were the only ones who called me that.

00:22:14I see.

00:22:16I apologize.

00:22:18I didn't know.

00:22:20I didn't mean to upset you.

00:22:24Hey, Alex, I mean, I'm sorry.

00:22:37I think I owe you a drink.

00:22:39I'll be right back.

00:22:42Look at you.

00:22:49You look stunning.

00:22:51Let's see the dress.

00:22:53Let's get to turn even me straight.

00:22:57Picked it out just for you.

00:22:58It's perfect.

00:22:59May I have this dance, my lady?

00:23:01We always wanna put our camera in touch.

00:23:09It's just the way of love that I've begun.

00:23:13Why do we feel like we're not good enough?

00:23:17Why don't we lose all of this camera in touch?

00:23:21I love you.

00:23:22Hey, bro.

00:23:23Is that for me?

00:23:24Get your own drink, bro.

00:23:26And maybe your own date while you're at it.

00:23:30Date?

00:23:31I knew it.

00:23:32Uh, my guest.

00:23:33You know what I am.

00:23:34Yeah, sure.

00:23:35I know what you mean.

00:23:36I'll take that.

00:23:37I'll leave you guys to it.

00:23:50It's just a dance.

00:23:51Do not be weird about this.

00:23:53Oh, I'm being weird?

00:23:55Everyone else is dancing.

00:23:56It would look strange if we didn't.

00:23:59And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other,

00:24:02right?

00:24:05Right.

00:24:07So, something going on between you and my brother?

00:24:23Jase?

00:24:24Of course not.

00:24:25That was nothing.

00:24:27It didn't look like nothing.

00:24:29If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.

00:24:34Don't be ridiculous.

00:24:35I'm just looking out for my assistant.

00:24:41Well, I doubt he's interested.

00:24:43He's, you know.

00:24:46He's what?

00:24:49You don't know?

00:24:53Never mind.

00:24:54So, you guys aren't that close then?

00:24:56Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.

00:25:01If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.

00:25:06It's important to make time for family, Lincoln.

00:25:10That's none of your concern.

00:25:12Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.

00:25:17It's unprofessional.

00:25:21What?

00:25:22This?

00:25:23This is just two co-workers dancing.

00:25:26Right.

00:25:27A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.

00:25:31It's completely innocent.

00:25:33Hmm.

00:25:34Hmm.

00:25:34We're rarely touching.

00:25:36Hmm.

00:25:37Hmm.

00:25:38Hmm.

00:25:39Hmm.

00:25:40Hmm.

00:25:41Hmm.

00:25:42Megan.

00:25:43Dad.

00:25:44Well, some of our board members are already here.

00:25:49I need you to make your rounds.

00:25:51Miss Livingston?

00:25:52Miss Livingston?

00:25:53Shall we?

00:25:54Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.

00:26:05Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.

00:26:11Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.

00:26:15Oh, yes.

00:26:16Detroit and Cleveland.

00:26:18Nice work.

00:26:19Yes, and we're also improving transit times.

00:26:22I'll actually be in New York next week.

00:26:35Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.

00:26:38I like it.

00:26:40What are you doing here?

00:26:41I just thought I'd stop by.

00:26:42I thought you could use the moral support.

00:26:45Where's Malia?

00:26:46I got a babysitter.

00:26:49I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.

00:26:55Who's this?

00:26:57No one.

00:26:58Just my assistant.

00:27:01Alex.

00:27:03Nice to meet you, Alice.

00:27:04As I was saying, the transit times in New York can really-

00:27:09Oh, come on, Lincoln.

00:27:10Don't be a bore.

00:27:11It's a party.

00:27:12No one wants to talk about business.

00:27:14Am I right?

00:27:16Let's dance.

00:27:17Maybe later.

00:27:18These gentlemen are on the board.

00:27:21You don't mind if I steal them, do you?

00:27:23What are you doing?

00:27:24Are you drunk?

00:27:25The whole office is here.

00:27:26We never have any time together.

00:27:27And there's a reason for that, Camilla.

00:27:28We're not together anymore.

00:27:29You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.

00:27:30Oh, come on, Lincoln.

00:27:31I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.

00:27:32I just-

00:27:33I miss you.

00:27:34And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.

00:27:55I was hoping you'd dance with me.

00:28:00For old times' sake.

00:28:02One dance

00:28:06Excuse me, gentlemen

00:28:23Doesn't this feel nice?

00:28:30I know you missed this

00:28:32This is a work event, Camilla

00:28:38Flax, Lakin, so tense

00:28:42I could fix that, you know

00:28:45What do you want, hmm?

00:28:48And don't give me some bullshit about missing me

00:28:51I know you

00:28:51You want money, don't you?

00:28:54Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?

00:28:59Malia's getting older

00:29:00It's only getting harder to take care of her

00:29:03Especially with her situation

00:29:04We should be a family

00:29:07We tried

00:29:08And failed miserably

00:29:10I can't be with you, Camilla

00:29:12Are you sure about that?

00:29:16Camilla, don't

00:29:17Don't

00:29:18Kiss me

00:29:18If you don't feel anything

00:29:20I'll leave you alone

00:29:22Stop

00:29:27Jesus

00:29:28Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that

00:29:33Lincoln, are you listening to me?

00:29:36Look at me

00:29:40You don't want me to make a scene, do you?

00:29:44Because you know I will

00:29:45Let me make something very clear to you

00:29:49We are never getting back together, Camilla

00:29:52You hear me?

00:29:53Ever

00:29:54Now, you need to go

00:29:55But

00:29:57Right now

00:29:58Not having any fun?

00:30:22Let's see if we can change that

00:30:30It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?

00:30:42And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table

00:30:45And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender

00:30:49So it's the last call, right?

00:30:52I go up to the bar looking for this guy

00:30:54Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom

00:30:56Oh my god

00:30:57Stop

00:30:58Something funny?

00:31:05Time to go

00:31:06Okay

00:31:10Arturo

00:31:18Take Miss Livingston home

00:31:21You're being incredibly rude

00:31:23You know that?

00:31:23You're getting wasted at a company party

00:31:25It's totally inappropriate

00:31:27Don't you inappropriate me

00:31:29Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole

00:31:31You made out in front of everyone

00:31:33Okay, first of all

00:31:34She's my ex

00:31:35And second of all

00:31:36I can do whatever I want

00:31:38I'm a CEO

00:31:39Interrupt

00:31:40Right

00:31:41Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?

00:31:45What, my title not good enough for you?

00:31:46Charm your way up the corporate ladder?

00:31:48CEO this week

00:31:50Chairman the next

00:31:51Meanwhile, you're wasted

00:31:52Hanging all over Jace

00:31:53What do you care anyway?

00:31:55I thought you weren't attracted to me

00:31:56I'm not

00:31:58Oh yeah?

00:32:00Yeah

00:32:01Liar

00:32:02Didn't expect you to have tattoos

00:32:26Yeah, well there's a lot

00:32:29You don't know about me

00:32:30That cost $8,000

00:32:39Yeah, my fucking money

00:32:41Now get the hell over here

00:32:45Is that a scar?

00:32:53It's odd

00:49:19to find Malia?

00:49:21I already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.

00:49:26We're all alone.

00:49:28What about work?

00:49:32Time off for good behavior.

00:49:46Thank you again for taking care of her.

00:49:51It wasn't a problem.

00:49:57Apparently it is for her mother.

00:50:04Let me make it up to you.

00:50:09How are you gonna do that?

00:50:18Let me show you.

00:50:21It feels like I've been faking.

00:50:22Think there's a stranger here instead.

00:50:25There you have it.

00:50:27Night, night.

00:50:30I lie awake.

00:50:32I wanna escape this.

00:50:34Time, the air is changing.

00:50:38Let's run away.

00:50:42You're like the neighbors.

00:50:44Somewhere away from all these nightmares.

00:50:48Where nobody can find me.

00:50:52Let's run away.

00:50:55Fire away from all the pain.

00:50:58So you wanna tell me what happened here?

00:51:13Not really.

00:51:14Sorry, I, um...

00:51:20I was just curious.

00:51:23Congenital heart defect.

00:51:24You don't wanna hear about it.

00:51:25It's too much.

00:51:27Too much?

00:51:28This condition.

00:51:29This condition.

00:51:30These bills.

00:51:31This scar.

00:51:32My parents were incredible.

00:51:35They gave up everything for me.

00:51:37They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.

00:51:43And now they're gone.

00:51:46Car accident.

00:51:47When I was a senior.

00:51:48In high school.

00:51:50I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.

00:51:55Alex.

00:51:56Sorry.

00:51:57Way too much information.

00:51:59Especially from a fuck buddy.

00:52:00You don't need to know my sob story.

00:52:06You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.

00:52:08I know.

00:52:09She told me.

00:52:10Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.

00:52:16Look, I've never told anybody this, but...

00:52:20Malia was more with her defect because Camilla...

00:52:25She took diet pills during the pregnancy.

00:52:27So she wouldn't gain weight or lose out in modeling gigs.

00:52:31I only found out before it was too late.

00:52:34Oh my god.

00:52:36It's terrible.

00:52:38Truth is...

00:52:39She never really wanted to have a baby.

00:52:42I did.

00:52:44I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.

00:52:47Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.

00:52:53I'm so sorry, Lincoln.

00:52:54And the only reason she wants to get back together...

00:52:59Is for the money.

00:53:01Not for me.

00:53:02And certainly not for her daughter.

00:53:04You know, she's always been irresponsible.

00:53:07But this latest stunt?

00:53:09Abandoning her daughter like that?

00:53:11It's...

00:53:13Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?

00:53:15I want to, but...

00:53:17It's too risky.

00:53:18I mean, the courts usually side with the mother.

00:53:20I can't risk losing my daughter.

00:53:23They don't always...

00:53:27Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.

00:53:31What did she say to you?

00:53:33Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips.

00:53:37It's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met.

00:53:41I think you could have a case here.

00:53:42I don't know.

00:53:44I don't want to put her through that.

00:53:45I mean...

00:53:47Making her testify against her own mother?

00:53:49I...

00:53:50I can't do that.

00:53:51I know you want what's best for Malia.

00:53:54And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.

00:53:58Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.

00:54:01And if that's money, fine.

00:54:03You have it.

00:54:05Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.

00:54:08You're right.

00:54:10Malia deserves better.

00:54:13I will talk to her this week.

00:54:15Malia.

00:54:28Seems like I owe you again.

00:54:33Greedy?

00:54:35I meant breakfast.

00:54:37You can cook?

00:54:39Yes, I can.

00:54:41For the right company.

00:54:45I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.

00:55:02Shit.

00:55:06Fuck.

00:55:07I'm sorry.

00:55:08I didn't mean to.

00:55:10It's okay.

00:55:11Really, it's...

00:55:12actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.

00:55:17Thank you again for everything.

00:55:19I know this wasn't part of the job description.

00:55:22And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.

00:55:25Right.

00:55:26Not exactly.

00:55:27He told you all of that?

00:55:28What are you, a miracle worker?

00:55:29A saint?

00:55:30Hardly.

00:55:31Look.

00:55:32Look.

00:55:33If I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.

00:55:37Cross my inner hope to die.

00:55:40Your dad is paying me to do this.

00:55:42To help Lakin.

00:55:43Hardly.

00:55:45Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.

00:55:52Cross my inner hope to die.

00:55:56Your dad is paying me to do this, to help Lakin.

00:56:02That's what a job is. You work for the company. You know that, right?

00:56:05You don't understand. Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life

00:56:11if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant. He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla.

00:56:16By any means necessary, he said.

00:56:20Now that Lakin and I are...

00:56:21Freaking like rabbits?

00:56:24Coworkers with benefits? Excuse me?

00:56:27It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.

00:56:31Why? Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it?

00:56:34Seems like a win-win to me.

00:56:36It won't feel like that if he finds out. He'll think I'm just using him.

00:56:39Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.

00:56:43Chase, I can't keep lying to him. I think...

00:56:47I think I'm falling for him.

00:56:53So more than co-workers with benefits.

00:56:55Thanks for meeting me.

00:57:07I wanted to talk to you about...

00:57:08Your new girlfriend?

00:57:10What?

00:57:11I know all about your little sleepover.

00:57:15You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's life.

00:57:20Especially that one.

00:57:21What do you mean by that one?

00:57:24Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in L.A.

00:57:27It was a work trip.

00:57:29Oh, really?

00:57:39She's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been.

00:57:42Which is actually why I'm here.

00:57:44Enough is enough.

00:57:47I want sole custody.

00:57:50So this is it?

00:57:52You want to break up our family for that lying little...

00:57:55You don't want a family.

00:57:57You just want my money.

00:57:58I see right through you, Camilla.

00:57:59You think I want money?

00:58:02How much do you know about your little assistant?

00:58:04What do you mean?

00:58:05I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...

00:58:14That girl is using you, Lakin.

00:58:21I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it in the break room earlier today.

00:58:28What do you mean she's using me?

00:58:29The only reason why she's working for you is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.

00:58:39No, she wouldn't do that.

00:58:41That's not who she is.

00:58:42If you don't believe me, just ask your dad.

00:58:55Is it true?

00:58:57Lakin, what are you doing here?

00:58:58Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?

00:59:05It was for your own good.

00:59:06Do not give me that father-knows-best routine.

00:59:09This is a complete betrayal of my trust.

00:59:11Your personal issues were affecting not only the business, but our family.

00:59:15That is absurd.

00:59:16This has nothing to do with the company.

00:59:18Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader.

00:59:24As it does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or...

00:59:28So what?

00:59:28I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?

00:59:30That is bullshit.

00:59:32My love life is none of your business.

00:59:34But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.

00:59:39Alex is a smart girl with a good heart.

00:59:42She cares about Malia.

00:59:44And she challenges you.

00:59:46She is fired.

00:59:48Thanks to you.

00:59:49What are you doing here?

01:00:17We need to talk.

01:00:18We are?

01:00:21You want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back together?

01:00:26Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?

01:00:29Because you still love her?

01:00:31God, I'm so fucking stupid.

01:00:32Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?

01:00:37God, Alex, I...

01:00:38I trusted you.

01:00:40I...

01:00:40I told you things that I've never even told my family.

01:00:43And this whole time, you were just in it for the money.

01:00:48I...

01:00:49That was before anything happened between us.

01:00:53Lakin, I couldn't say no.

01:00:55That kind of money.

01:00:56You know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you.

01:00:59And fucking me, what?

01:01:00That was just a way to ensure job security?

01:01:03That's all I am to you.

01:01:04Just a transaction?

01:01:06Of course not.

01:01:07How dare you?

01:01:10Why should I believe you?

01:01:13You know, you're just like her.

01:01:16I am not like Camilla.

01:01:18Lakin, I care about you.

01:01:20You're fired.

01:01:21And this thing between us?

01:01:23That's over, too.

01:01:24Let's go.

01:01:54Rocky Road, huh?

01:02:21I've got the perfect pairing.

01:02:25You're gonna let me in or what?

01:02:31You are out of your mind.

01:02:34Showing up here is insane.

01:02:35Like you don't fucking love it.

01:02:37I don't.

01:02:40I've changed.

01:02:41I've heard that before.

01:02:43God, it turns me on when you act like...

01:02:45Alright, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.

01:02:48Have you left your house yet?

01:02:49Well, I'm gonna try and get my old job back, so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.

01:02:55Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same days a lot.

01:02:59You can take some time to mourn.

01:03:00I can't waste any more time on Lakin.

01:03:07I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.

01:03:09What's wrong with me?

01:03:24Nothing.

01:03:26Absolutely nothing.

01:03:27I'm sorry.

01:03:36I just...

01:03:37I think I want to be alone tonight.

01:03:42Hey.

01:03:49Text me, okay?

01:03:51Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.

01:03:55We will.

01:03:58I promise.

01:03:59I promise.

01:03:59I'll be right back.

01:04:59I applied for a job. I used to work here.

01:05:02Hey, kid, come on, man. Open up.

01:05:13You really need to give me a key.

01:05:17You want a drink?

01:05:18Yeah, where are your glasses?

01:05:20Second cabinet to the left.

01:05:29Heard you broke up with Alex.

01:05:33Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.

01:05:36We were just fucking, and now we're not.

01:05:40I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.

01:05:44I don't.

01:05:46Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?

01:05:49Very dramatic, by the way.

01:05:51What do you care?

01:05:53She's all yours now.

01:05:54Her little deal with dad is mute,

01:05:56and now you two can finally be together.

01:05:58Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.

01:06:04Yeah.

01:06:07You're always so wrapped up in your own shit,

01:06:09you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.

01:06:11I'm sorry.

01:06:19Really.

01:06:21I can't believe I didn't...

01:06:24Are you good?

01:06:32I'm good.

01:06:32Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.

01:06:50But you're always flirting with her, Alex.

01:06:52I was trying to light a fire under your ass.

01:06:56She's a good person, Lakin.

01:06:58She cares about you.

01:07:00A lot.

01:07:02She hated the deal.

01:07:04She hated lying to you.

01:07:06She knew you wouldn't trust her.

01:07:11And why should I?

01:07:13Because not everyone's Camilla.

01:07:19Look, it's not too late to make it right.

01:07:24Call her.

01:07:25Call her.

01:07:26Call her.

01:07:27Call her.

01:07:28Call her.

01:07:29Call her.

01:07:30Call her.

01:07:31Call her.

01:07:32Call her.

01:07:33Call her.

01:07:34Call her.

01:07:35Call her.

01:07:36Call her.

01:07:37Call her.

01:07:38Call her.

01:07:39Call her.

01:07:40Call her.

01:07:41Call her.

01:07:42Call her.

01:07:43Call her.

01:07:44Call her.

01:07:45Call her.

01:07:46Call her.

01:07:47Call her.

01:07:48Call her.

01:07:49Call her.

01:07:50Call her.

01:07:51Call her.

01:07:52Wow!

01:08:22Fuck him.

01:08:43So, that's $250,000 a year.

01:08:48Every year.

01:08:49Until Malia's 18th birthday.

01:08:50So, in nine more years, then?

01:08:54Eight.

01:08:55You don't even know how old your daughter is?

01:09:16Pleasure doing business with you.

01:09:20You don't want to say goodbye?

01:09:24She's upstairs waiting.

01:09:26I can't.

01:09:27I have a flight to Miami in an hour.

01:09:29Give her a kiss for me, will you?

01:09:30Good fucking riddance.

01:09:43I'm proud of you, son.

01:09:46Only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.

01:09:48I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?

01:09:53If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.

01:10:04Congrats, bro.

01:10:06Let's celebrate.

01:10:06Come on.

01:10:19We should be celebrating.

01:10:21Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.

01:10:23And now Malia has to live the rest of her life, knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.

01:10:31On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.

01:10:35You're going to be CEO in a month.

01:10:37What else could you want?

01:10:38Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody.

01:10:44She blocked my number.

01:10:46And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.

01:10:51That would make me look insane.

01:10:53Well, insane or romantic.

01:10:58She doesn't want to speak to me.

01:11:01And I don't blame her.

01:11:02Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.

01:11:10She's working here again?

01:11:13Is that why you brought me here?

01:11:15Go get her.

01:11:30Hi.

01:11:31Ready to order?

01:11:32I'll come back in a few more minutes.

01:11:41Alex.

01:11:43Lincoln?

01:11:46What are you doing here?

01:11:49Jace brought me.

01:11:50To celebrate.

01:11:53I won full custody.

01:11:56Congratulations.

01:11:57Yeah, I, um...

01:11:59I couldn't have done it without you.

01:12:01Uh...

01:12:02Alex, I, um...

01:12:04I want to apologize.

01:12:06I made a huge mistake.

01:12:08Thanks.

01:12:09I actually need to take my break right now.

01:12:11What a hell!

01:12:15Oh.

01:12:22You okay?

01:12:24What a hell.

01:12:25Oh, it's okay.

01:12:26Hey.

01:12:26Help!

01:12:27Someone call 911!

01:12:29Help!

01:12:30It's okay.

01:12:33Hey.

01:12:33Any update?

01:12:56There's only so much that they'll tell me right now,

01:12:58but the doctor said that she's in critical condition.

01:13:03They're going to operate tomorrow,

01:13:06and then her chances are 50-50.

01:13:09Jesus.

01:13:10Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.

01:13:15The stress that I fucking caused her.

01:13:19And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't help either.

01:13:22I should have just left her alone.

01:13:24It's not your fault, Lakin.

01:13:27And now Alex could... she could...

01:13:29Hey, stop. Don't talk like that.

01:13:32Oh, my God, Alex, you're awake. Jesus Christ.

01:13:47I was so worried. I thought... I thought that I might have lost you.

01:13:54Oh, my God, Alex, you're awake. Jesus Christ.

01:13:59I was so worried. I thought...

01:14:01I thought that I might have lost you.

01:14:06Thank you. I'm fine.

01:14:10You should leave.

01:14:13What? What are you talking about?

01:14:16Lakin, why are you here?

01:14:18I'm here because I care about you, because...

01:14:20Because you feel guilty.

01:14:23This is what you do.

01:14:25You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.

01:14:27No. It's not like that.

01:14:29I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.

01:14:33I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.

01:14:38You are not a burden.

01:14:40I don't think that.

01:14:42I'd like you to go.

01:14:44I'd like you to go.

01:15:12Good morning, sleepyhead.

01:15:32It's good to see you awake.

01:15:35You had me worried there for a minute.

01:15:40I got you something.

01:15:57This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.

01:16:03Where did all the flowers come from?

01:16:06It was Dad.

01:16:07You feel horrible he wasn't here after your episode, so he's been helping out with Malia while they can watch us over you here.

01:16:14Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.

01:16:17Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.

01:16:21He shouldn't have.

01:16:22You made a deal, Alex.

01:16:24Dad was good for it.

01:16:26It's done.

01:16:28I don't deserve it.

01:16:30What are you talking about?

01:16:32Look at me, Jace.

01:16:34I'm literally fucking scarred.

01:16:35Why should I?

01:16:36Hey, Alex.

01:16:38You deserve love.

01:16:42It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.

01:16:45Jesus.

01:16:51Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

01:17:12Fuck.

01:17:13I'm sorry, I just...

01:17:15I thought you might need some help.

01:17:18Doctor said no unnecessary stress.

01:17:20Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.

01:17:26Sorry.

01:17:28Thank you, but I've got it from here.

01:17:30Alex, you're recovering from surgery.

01:17:32Let me at least help you inside.

01:17:35Let me at least help you inside.

01:17:35Malia asks about you all the time, you know.

01:18:02She misses you.

01:18:06Everyone misses you.

01:18:07My dad, Jace, and me.

01:18:13It was wrong with me to accuse you of only wanting my money.

01:18:20I can see that now.

01:18:22I've just...

01:18:23I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.

01:18:26And I've just been hurt so many times.

01:18:28It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.

01:18:32What you told me about your parents, and how they sacrificed everything for you, do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?

01:18:46They lost everything they had because of me.

01:18:48Hey, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again, they would do it exactly the same?

01:18:55That's not sacrifice.

01:18:56That's love.

01:18:59I've been thinking about it a lot.

01:19:03About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.

01:19:07I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.

01:19:10But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me, is that supporting someone, it's not about an obligation or to force an outcome.

01:19:25It is simply because you love them.

01:19:28Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.

01:19:45I can't stop.

01:19:46It's true.

01:19:47And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.

01:19:56Prove it?

01:19:57How?

01:20:06Is that...

01:20:07Scars.

01:20:09Just like yours.

01:20:13Are those tattoos?

01:20:15I wanted it to be permanent.

01:20:17I love you, Alex.

01:20:22I love every single perfect inch of you.

01:20:29Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?

01:20:34Please.

01:20:39I love you, too.

01:20:40I love you.

01:20:47What are you doing next week?

01:21:08I want to take you to a party.

01:21:11Another gala?

01:21:15Something like that.

01:21:17And you know the guest department very well.

01:21:21Who is it?

01:21:23You'll see.

01:21:23Happy birthday, dear Malia.

01:21:35Happy birthday to you.

01:21:40Woops.

01:21:48Happy birthday to you.

01:21:48What did you wish for?

01:21:48A new mommy.

01:21:51me. One step at a time, sweetheart. I got you something. It might not be the biggest present

01:22:02you get, but I think you'll like it. I have one, too. Just like you.

01:22:21The sky's going black, so come with us. Don't hold back tonight.

01:22:39Don't hold back.

01:22:49You
