00:07:44welcome aboard
00:07:49all right let's get started did you bring your notepad from the restaurant
00:07:55coffee black every day within five minutes of my arrival lunch will be at 1pm sharp no fast food
00:08:11are you writing this down i also need you to pick up my dry cleaning every week from amelio's
00:08:16oh and stay out of my personal life that'll be all for now i'll give you access to my work calendar later
00:08:26that means you can go
00:08:41laken i don't like lucifer
00:08:45his bark's worse than his bite trust me
00:08:47i'm jace lucifer's angelic younger brother you are alex lincoln's new assistant and uh it would be
00:08:57great if you didn't mention that super unprofessional name calling
00:09:01i've said worse your secret's safe with me
00:09:05alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea you're gonna need that
00:09:10we'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 might create
00:09:30bottlenecks we just can't afford right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:36i need solutions faster not more excuses people we're exploring alternatives nothing 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
00:10:04uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off
00:10:12but 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 worth a shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at it and sort out the details
00:10:30the details is there anything else i should know about my business not yet
00:10:41uh you heard her let's uh let's move on this right away that'll be all
00:10:47alex has to go absolutely not she stays look dad i understand that i've been through an assistant or two
00:10:58seven this year this girl is overstepping she's jumping on executive leadership calls yes she was
00:11:04right but she is undermining me in front of my team how is that supposed to strengthen my position with the
00:11:09board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job like a good leader isn't threatened by his
00:11:16employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control well the
00:11:23board already thinks you've lost control this constant personnel turnover makes you look indecisive and weak
00:11:29you have to keep alex what are you saying you fire her and the board will find another ceo
00:11:59oine is
00:12:05how are you feeling better thank you for helping me the other day of course you know if you ever
00:12:11start to feel like that you should sit down and slow your heart rate the hell are you doing
00:12:19malia honey why don't you get started on your homework okay
00:12:22Your job is to help with my work, not butt into my personal life.
00:12:30I was just trying...
00:12:31From now on, I want you to leave my daughter alone.
00:12:35How about I leave you alone, huh?
00:12:38I quit.
00:12:39Come on, it's only been a week.
00:12:41You really giving up that fast?
00:12:43You know what? Fine. Leave.
00:12:46Guess you're just not cut out for a big girl job, are you, waitress?
00:12:52Alex, hang on.
00:12:59Alex!
00:13:05Alex, wait! Alex!
00:13:11I told you to wait.
00:13:14I'm not going to stay here and subject myself to this bullshit any longer.
00:13:18I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:13:20I'll double your salary.
00:13:23I'll give you a four-day work week, whatever you want.
00:13:28Look, you can't leave, okay?
00:13:32I need you to stay.
00:13:35How about starting with an apology?
00:13:38I've been working my ass off all week doing everything you say, and you're still a dick to me.
00:13:43What do I have to do to please you?
00:13:45Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:13:51It's not your fault.
00:13:54I just, uh...
00:14:00Alex, hang on.
00:14:08Alex, wait.
00:14:10Alex, wait one second.
00:14:12Look, I don't know what came over me, okay?
00:14:16But I can't lose you.
00:14:18I promise from now on, I will clean up my act.
00:14:21No more verbal abuse?
00:14:23I didn't...
00:14:25Fine.
00:14:28No more.
00:14:28And no more calling me waitress.
00:14:30It's Miss Livingston or Alex.
00:14:33Got it.
00:14:34And you said something about doubling my salary.
00:14:39Stick around for a few more months, and then we'll talk, okay?
00:14:46You won't regret it.
00:14:48Want to bet?
00:14:49Sorry I'm late.
00:15:16Traffic was hell.
00:15:20A menu for you, sir.
00:15:25Hi, Malia.
00:15:27Can't compete with that iPad.
00:15:30We order drinks.
00:15:33A 2005 Roman Acon tea.
00:15:36Best bottle on the menu.
00:15:39It better be.
00:15:40It costs $15,000.
00:15:41We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:43Not until after I get board approval on.
00:15:51So, what did you want to talk to me about?
00:15:55Malia and I thought it would be nice to spend more time as a family.
00:16:01It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:16:05Malia, honey, you and I talked about this, right?
00:16:08Your mother and I love you very much.
00:16:12It's just...
00:16:13It's not easy for us to be around each other right now.
00:16:19Maybe.
00:16:21We could try a little harder.
00:16:30Hey.
00:16:31Hey.
00:16:32I just wanted to give you a status report before I head home.
00:16:35Thank you, Miss Livingston.
00:16:36So, regarding South Korea, I'm scheduling a Zoom for next week.
00:16:42I'm working...
00:16:43I can, are you listening to me?
00:17:00Sorry.
00:17:00As I was saying, where was I?
00:17:03You can just take your top off.
00:17:05Oh my God, I meant you can just take it from the top.
00:17:14I gotta go.
00:17:14No soy sauce in this whole building.
00:17:29They're still here.
00:17:30That's surprising.
00:17:33You and my brother getting along better?
00:17:35Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:37So, that little argument you guys had the other day, what was that, a lover's quarrel?
00:17:45Look who's blushing.
00:17:48I am not blushing, and that wasn't a lover's quarrel.
00:17:51He doesn't like me like that.
00:17:53So he didn't run after you in the elevator and sweep you off your feet?
00:17:58Chase.
00:17:59Lakin.
00:18:01So we were just talking about you.
00:18:03Lovely assistant you've got here.
00:18:05Such a sweetheart.
00:18:07Anywho, I gotta go.
00:18:08I'll talk to you later, Alex.
00:18:10You needed me for something?
00:18:11The company's hosting a charity fundraiser tomorrow night, and I need you to go with me.
00:18:21You need a date?
00:18:23No, what I need is my assistant close by.
00:18:26So, if you have any plans, just go ahead and cancel them.
00:18:31And here.
00:18:32Take my card and buy yourself a dress this afternoon.
00:18:35Try to keep it under $10,000, all right?
00:18:38No problem.
00:18:39I'll ride my unicorn over to the mall after lunch.
00:18:41Got it.
00:18:46Under $10,000.
00:18:48Oh.
00:18:50And seeing as I'm buying, I like red.
00:19:11I don't want to see you.
00:19:16I don't want to see you.
00:19:18I don't want to see you.
00:19:20I don't want to see you.
00:19:28I don't want to see you.
00:19:33I don't want to see you.
00:19:37I don't want to see you.
00:19:38I don't want to see you.
00:19:48I don't want to see you.
00:19:50I thought I said I like red.
00:20:04Did you?
00:20:05Oops.
00:20:06Must have slipped my mind.
00:20:20It looks like we're almost there.
00:20:32Remember, this is a work event.
00:20:35The whole board is going to be there.
00:20:37It's easy on the drinks.
00:20:47Do as I say, not as I do.
00:20:50You ready?
00:20:57Do as I say, not as I do.
00:21:27Do as I say, not as I do.
00:21:35So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight,
00:21:41and you lied to me.
00:21:43Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:48I thought only H.R. saw that.
00:21:55Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar.
00:21:58I think that's a very sweet name.
00:22:00I'm not embarrassed.
00:22:01It's just private.
00:22:03My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:11I see.
00:22:12I apologize.
00:22:15I didn't know.
00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:19I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:20Hey.
00:22:22Alex.
00:22:26I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:34I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:37I'll be right back.
00:22:38Look at you.
00:22:46You look stunning.
00:22:49Let's see the dress.
00:22:53Let's get to turn even me straight.
00:22:55Picked it out just for you.
00:22:56It's perfect.
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:58Hey.
00:23:18For you.
00:23:19Hey, bro.
00:23:20Is that for me?
00:23:21Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:23And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:27Dean?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29My guest.
00:23:30You know what I mean.
00:23:31Yeah, sure.
00:23:31I know what you mean.
00:23:32I'll take that.
00:23:33I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:47It's just a dance.
00:23:48Do not be weird about this.
00:23:50Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:52Everyone else is dancing.
00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't.
00:23:55And besides.
00:23:57It's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right.
00:24:02So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:18Chase?
00:24:19Chase?
00:24:21Of course not.
00:24:22That 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.
00:24:35Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's, you know.
00:24:42He's what?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind.
00:24:50So, 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.
00:25:05That's none of your concern.
00:25:08Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:12It's unprofessional.
00:25:17What, this?
00:25:18This 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.
00:25:30Hmm.
00:25:31They're barely 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.
00:25:46Miss Livingston?
00:25:50Shall we?
00:25:56Well, 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.
00:26:30Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:34I like it.
00:26:34What are you doing here?
00:26:37I just thought I'd stop by.
00:26:38I thought you could use the moral support.
00:26:41Where's Malia?
00:26:42I got a babysitter.
00:26:45I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:47Who's this?
00:26:51Who's this?
00:26:53Uh, no one.
00:26:54Just, uh, my assistant.
00:26:57Alex.
00:26:58Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:02As I was saying, the transit time's in New York.
00:27:04I really...
00:27:05Oh, 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.
00:27:11Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:13Maybe later.
00:27:15These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:25What are you doing?
00:27:30Are you drunk?
00:27:31The 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 all time's sake.
00:28:00One 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.
00:28:33Flax, Lincoln.
00:28:35So tense.
00:28:37I 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?
00:28:48Have 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 her situation.
00:28:59We should be a family.
00:29:01We tried.
00:29:02And failed miserably.
00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla, don't.
00:29:11Kiss me.
00:29:13If you don't feel anything,
00:29:14I'll leave you alone.
00:29:20Stop.
00:29:21Jesus.
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.
00:29:46Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:30:12Not 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 it'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.
00:30:45Oh my God.
00:30:46Stop.
00:30:49Something funny?
00:30:54Time to go.
00:30:55Okay.
00:30:55Okay.
00:30:55It'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.
00:31:21You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:22Okay, first of all, she's my ex.
00:31:24And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:27I'm a CEO.
00:31:29Interrupt.
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?
00:31:36Charming your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:37CEO this week, chairman the next.
00:31:40Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.
00:31:43What 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.
00:32:15Yeah, 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?
00:32:42It's odd.
00:32:43Fuck me.
00:32:49Leave us that sun off away.
00:32:51Tonight we both bear.
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 want the guilty stain.
00:33:01Cause I wanna be with you.
00:33:04I wanna be with you.
00:33:05I wanna run away.
00:33:06We can't let this go to waste.
00:33:09I don't want to put it on the same.
00:33:12Don't let this go to waste
00:33:42You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no
00:33:50Right, no, of course not
00:33:56Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday
00:34:12Morning
00:34:20Morning
00:34:22I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me
00:34:35It's not your fault, Lincoln 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
00:34:45Lincoln's got some serious trust issues
00:34:48Like, he needs therapy about it
00:34:51Camilla really messed him up
00:34:53Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:34:58That bitch is a gold digger
00:34:59I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career
00:35:02Took him, like, three years to come to his senses
00:35:05And when he finally did, oh, surprise, surprise
00:35:07Guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus
00:35:11Maybe it's just us 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
00:35:32Great
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
00:36:28Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:30Hmm
00:36:31Cause 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?
00:36:58You made it!
00:36:58Ah
00:36:59Ah

00:37:25Me neither
00:37:36It's okay
00:37:37I don't like asparagus either
00:37:39My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me
00:37:43He's right
00:37:44It is
00:37:46Look on the bright side
00:37:48At least it's not Brussels sprouts
00:37:49Am I right
00:37:50Alright
00:37:50Hmm
00:37:50Thank you
00:37:56Thank you

00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:14Uh, Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:21Alex, 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.
00:38:31You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:34I just thought I'd give you and Lakin some time alone.
00:38:37Thank you, Jace. You're very welcome.
00:38:39Jace, don't...
00:38:40Bye.
00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:48But I wanna hang out with Alex.

00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant not with the board watching my every move
00:40:33but I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever
00:40:41I thought I did something wrong
00:40:45I want you Alex
00:40:47that's the problem
00:40:49what if we separate church and state

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!
00:44:15I mean, shoot!
00:44:16Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:37Malia

00:45:13Malia?

00:49:23let's run away
00:49:27you're like the neighbors
00:49:29you know I think more people should try co-workers with benefits
00:49:54so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:01not really
00:50:08sorry I um
00:50:13I was just curious
00:50:15congenital 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
00:50:24these bills
00:50:25this scar
00:50:27my parents were
00:50:28incredible
00:50:29they gave up everything
00:50:31for me
00:50:32they drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try
00:50:36and make my life normal
00:50:38and now they're gone
00:50:39car accident
00:50:42when I was a senior
00:50:43in high school
00:50:44I begged them to have a night to themselves for once
00:50:48and then
00:50:48Alex
00:50:50sorry way too much information
00:50:53especially from a fuck buddy
00:50:55you don't need to know my sob story
00:50:57you know that Malia's heart condition is congenital
00:51:03I know
00:51:04she told me
00:51:05yeah well
00:51:06she doesn't know everything
00:51:08look I've never told anybody this but
00:51:12Malia was born with her defect
00:51:16because Camila
00:51:17she took diet pills during the pregnancy
00:51:21so she wouldn't gain weight
00:51:23or lose out on modeling gigs
00:51:24I only found out before it was too late
00:51:28oh my god
00:51:29it's terrible
00:51:31truth is
00:51:33she 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
00:51:41turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket
00:51:44I'm so sorry Lincoln
00:51:48the only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:53is for the money
00:51:55not for me
00:51:56and certainly not for her daughter
00:51:58she's always been irresponsible
00:52:02but this latest stunt
00:52:03abandoning her daughter like that
00:52:05it's
00:52:06have you thought about pursuing soul custody
00:52:10I want to
00:52:11but
00:52:11it'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
00:52:19Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camila's done something like this
00:52:25what did she say to you?
00:52:28Camila 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
00:52:34I think you could have a case here
00:52:37I don't know
00:52:37I don't want to put her through that
00:52:40I mean
00:52:40making her testify against her own mother
00:52:43I can't do that
00:52:45I know you want what's best for Malia
00:52:47and sharing her with Camila isn't it
00:52:50maybe you should just give Camila what she really wants
00:52:54and if that's money, fine
00:52:57you have it
00:52:58Malia deserves people in her life who care about her
00:53:02you're right
00:53:03Malia deserves better
00:53:05I will talk to her this week
00:53:09thank you
00:53:18it seems like I owe you again
00:53:24greedy
00:53:27I meant breakfast
00:53:30you can cook
00:53:33yes I can
00:53:35for the right company
00:53:37ta da
00:53:46I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth
00:53:57shit fuck I'm sorry
00:54:01I didn't mean to
00:54:02it's okay
00:54:04really it's
00:54:05actually 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
00:54:15and I'm sure dealing with my ex
00:54:18wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you
00:54:20great
00:54:24not exactly
00:54:27he told you all of that
00:54:33what are you a miracle worker
00:54:35a saint
00:54:36hardly
00:54:37look
00:54:40if I tell you something
00:54:42you promise not to say anything to anyone
00:54:44cross my inner hope to die
00:54:47your dad is paying me to do this
00:54:53to help Lakin
00:54:54that's what a job is
00:54:57you work for the company
00:54:58you know that right
00:54:59you don't understand
00:55:00your dad offered to pay off my student loans
00:55:03and cover my medical bills for life
00:55:05if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant
00:55:07he wanted me to keep him away from Camilla
00:55:10by any means necessary
00:55:11he said
00:55:12now that Lakin and I are
00:55:15fucking like rabbits
00:55:16co-workers with benefits
00:55:19excuse me
00:55:20it just
00:55:22it seems wrong not to tell him
00:55:24why?
00:55:26because you're helping him get his shit together
00:55:27and getting paid for it
00:55:28seems like a win-win to me
00:55:30it won't feel like that if he finds out
00:55:32he'll think I'm just using him
00:55:33well
00:55:34maybe he doesn't have to find out
00:55:36Chase
00:55:37I can't keep lying to him
00:55:39I think
00:55:40I think I'm falling for him
00:55:43so more than co-workers with benefits
00:55:49thanks for meeting me
00:55:59I wanted to talk to you about
00:56:02your new girlfriend
00:56:03what?
00:56:05I know all about your little sleepover
00:56:08you know
00:56:09I'd appreciate it
00:56:10if he told me
00:56:11before bringing another woman
00:56:12into our daughter's life
00:56:13especially that one
00:56:15what do you mean by that one?
00:56:18Alex actually stepped up
00:56:19when you abandoned her
00:56:20to go clubbing in LA
00:56:21it was a work trip
00:56:22oh really?
00:56:23she's already proven to be way better
00:56:34at taking care of Malia
00:56:35than you've ever been
00:56:36which is actually why I'm here
00:56:38enough is enough

00:56:46you want to break up our family

00:57:03I hate
00:57:04to be the one
00:57:05to tell you this
00:57:06but
00:57:07that girl
00:57:09is using you
00:57:10Lakin

00:57:16Jason Herr
00:57:17laughing about it
00:57:18in the break room
00:57:18earlier today
00:57:19what do you mean
00:57:22she's using me?
00:57:24the only reason
00:57:25why she's working for you
00:57:26is because your dad
00:57:28promised to pay her
00:57:29medical bills
00:57:29if she kept you
00:57:30away from me
00:57:31no, she wouldn't do that
00:57:34that's not who she is
00:57:35if you don't believe me
00:57:37just ask your dad
00:57:40is it true?
00:57:50Lakin
00:57:51what are you doing here?

00:57:53in order to keep tabs on me?
00:57:58it was for your own good
00:57:59do not give me
00:58:00that father knows best routine
00:58:02this is a complete betrayal
00:58:04of my trust

00:58:06were affecting
00:58:06not only the business
00:58:07but our family
00:58:08that is absurd
00:58:09this has nothing
00:58:10to do with the company
00:58:11your inability
00:58:12to cut Camilla
00:58:13from your life
00:58:14seriously calls into question
00:58:15your abilities
00:58:16as a leader
00:58:17as it does
00:58:18the way you've
00:58:19closed yourself off

01:01:03Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:14I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:18You're going to let me in or what?
01:01:24You are out of your mind.
01:01:27Showing up here is insane.
01:01:28Like you don't fucking love it.
01:01:30I don't.
01:01:31I've changed.
01:01:34I've heard that before.
01:01:36God, 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,
01:01:45so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same days a lot.
01:01:52You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:56I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:01:59I'm so stupid.
01:02:01Thinking you actually cared about me.
01:02:15What's wrong with me?
01:02:17Nothing.
01:02:19Absolutely nothing.
01:02:24I'm sorry.
01:02:27I just...
01:02:30I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:40Hey.
01:02:42Text me, okay?
01:02:44Just because we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.
01:02:48I will.
01:02:49I promise.
01:02:51I promise.
01:02:51I promise.
01:03:15I promise.
01:03:15I promise.
01:03:45Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:53I used to work here.
01:03:54Hey, Ken, 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?
01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:15I heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:26Can'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.
01:04:44What do you care?
01:04:45She's all yours now.
01:04:47Her 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.
01:04:56You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about
01:05:02his own life.
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:13I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:14Are you good?
01:05:23I'm good.
01:05:24I'm good.
01:05:24Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:42But you're always flirting with her, Alex.
01:05:44I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:48She's a good person, Lincoln.
01:05:50She cares about you.
01:05:51A lot.
01:05:52She hated the deal.
01:05:56She hated lying to you.
01:05:58She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:03And why should I?
01:06:05Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:11Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:16Call her.
01:06:22Bye-bye.
01:06:35Bye-bye.
01:06:38Bye-bye.
01:06:49Bye-bye.
01:06:50I don't know.
01:07:20Fuck him.
01:07:33So, that's $250,000 a year?
01:07:37Every year?
01:07:38Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:41So, in nine more years then?
01:07:43Eight.
01:07:45You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:07:50Okay.
01:08:06Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:12You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:14She'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.
01:08:35It 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?
01:08:43If you gentlemen will excuse me,
01:08:44I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:50Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:09:07Come on.
01:09:08We should be celebrating.
01:09:10Ding dong, the witch agreed to settle.
01:09:11Yeah.
01:09:14And now Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.
01:09:20On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:23You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:26What else could you want?
01:09:26Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody.
01:09:32She blocked my number.
01:09:35And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:40That would make me look insane.
01:09:42Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:45She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:49And I don't blame her.
01:09:51Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:59She's working here again?
01:10:02Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:04Go get her.
01:10:04Hi.
01:10:20Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:32Lincoln?
01:10:33Uh.
01:10:34What are you doing here?
01:10:36Uh.
01:10:37Jace brought me.
01:10:39To celebrate.
01:10:41I won full custody.
01:10:44Congratulations.
01:10:45Yeah, I, um.
01:10:47I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:49Uh.
01:10:50Alex, I, um.
01:10:52I want to apologize.
01:10:54I made a huge mistake.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:57I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:04Oh, shit.
01:11:05Oh, shit.
01:11:10You okay?
01:11:12Mm-hmm.
01:11:13I'm okay.
01:11:14Help!
01:11:16Someone call 911!
01:11:17Help!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:18It's okay.
01:11:20It's okay.
01:11:20Uh, I, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh...
01:11:31Any update?
01:11:33Any update?
01:11:44There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but
01:11:46the doctor said that
01:11:49she's in critical condition,
01:11:52they're going to operate tomorrow,
01:11:54and that her chances are 50-50.
01:11:57Jesus.
01:11:59Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:03The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:08And 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, she could...
01:12:17Hey, stop.
01:12:19Don't talk like that.
01:12:33Hey, Lakin.
01:12:43Oh my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:46Jesus Christ.
01:12:48I was so worried, I thought...
01:12:50I thought that I might have lost you.
01:12:57I'm fine.
01:13:00You 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.
01:13:13You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:16No.
01:13:17It's not like that.
01:13:18I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.
01:13:21I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:27You are not a burden.
01:13:28I don't think that.
01:13:31I'd like you to go.
01:13:32I don't want to.
01:13:48Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:13Good morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:18It's good to see you awake.
01:14:24You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:29I got you something.
01:14:31This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:53It was Dad.
01:14:55You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode,
01:14:58so he's been helping out with Mulya while Lakin watches over you here.
01:15:02Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:05Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:08He shouldn't have.
01:15:10You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:12Dad was good for it.
01:15:13It's done.
01:15:15I don't deserve it.
01:15:18What are you talking about?
01:15:20Look at me, Jace.
01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred.
01:15:23Why should I...
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:26You deserve love.
01:15:27It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:32you deserve love.
01:15:40I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:50I'm freaking out.
01:15:51I'm freaking out.
01:15:51Jesus.
01:15:57Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:59Fuck.
01:16:00I'm sorry, I just...
01:16:02I thought you might need some help.
01:16:05Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:07Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:14Sorry.
01:16:15Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:17Alex, you're recovering from surgery.
01:16:20Let me at least help you inside.
01:16:47Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:51She misses you.
01:16:53Everyone misses you.
01:16:54My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:03It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:07I can see that now.
01:17:09I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:12And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:15It'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.
01:17:35Hey, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again,
01:17:39they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:42That's not sacrifice.
01:17:44That's love.
01:17:45I've been thinking about it a lot, about what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:17:54I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:17:57But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me,
01:18:03is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:12It is simply because you love them.
01:18:17Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong,
01:18:26and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:32I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:36And since you clearly don't believe me,
01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:43Prove it? How?
01:18:52Is that...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:02I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:06I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:11Will 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?
01:19:46What are you doing next week?
01:19:56I want to take you to a party.
01:20:00Another gala?
01:20:02Something like that.
01:20:04And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:07Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:16Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:22Happy birthday to you.
01:20:31What did you wish for?
01:20:35A new mommy.
01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:45I got you something.
01:20:47It might not be the biggest present you get, but I think you'll like it.
01:20:52I have one, too.
01:20:56Just like you.
01:20:57I'm not going to be the best then.
01:21:00I'm not going to be the best.
01:21:02Together...
01:21:02I'm not going to be the best.
01:21:04Don't come with us, don't hold back Tonight, oh yeah, the sky is going black
01:21:20So come with us, don't hold back Tonight, oh yeah, the sky is going black
01:21:30So come with us, don't hold back
