00:09:05alex get in here we need to roll some calls to south korea you're gonna need that
00:09:10coming
00:09:16we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution
00:09:24centers are already slowing down operation times and shifting our operations to detroit might create
00:09:31bottlenecks 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
00:10:00uh so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics uh no but i was looking over last
00:10:09quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but cleveland's underutilized and you're
00:10:14already paying for the rail infrastructure it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could
00:10:19keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down entirely actually that could work worth 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 not yet

00:22:55Picked it out just for you.
00:22:56It's perfect.
00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?
00:22:58Let's get to turn you over to me.
00:23:00Okay.
00:23:01We always wanna put a camera to touch.
00:23:06It's just the way I've never had began.
00:23:09Why do we feel like we're not good enough
00:23:13Why don't we lose all of this care that is such
00:23:17Who are you?
00:23:19Hey, bro. Is that for me?
00:23:21Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:23And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:27Date?
00:23:28I knew it.
00:23:29My guest. You know what I mean.
00:23:31Yeah, sure. I know what you mean.
00:23:33I'll take that. I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:39It's just a dance. Do 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.
00:23:56And besides,
00:23:57it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:02Right.
00:24:09So,
00:24:16something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:20Chase?
00:24:21Of course not. That was nothing.
00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:26If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:30Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:32I'm just
00:24:33looking out for my assistant.
00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:39He's,
00:24:40you know.
00:24:43He's what?
00:24:45You don't know?
00:24:49Never mind.
00:24:50So,
00:24:52you 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,
00:24:58I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.
00:25:02It'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,
00:25:11Miss Livingston.
00:25:13It's unprofessional.
00:25:17What?
00:25:18This?
00:25:19This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:22Right.
00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.
00:25:28It's completely innocent.
00:25:30Ooh.
00:25:31You're rarely touching.
00:25:38Lincoln.
00:25:40Dad.
00:25:43Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:48Miss Livingston?
00:25:49Shall we?
00:25:51Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:02Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:07Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:11Oh, yes.
00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:14Nice work.
00:26:16Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:18I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:20Team 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 moral support.
00:26:41Where's Malia?
00:26:42I got a babysitter.
00:26:43I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:51Who's this?
00:26:52Uh, no one.
00:26:54Just, uh, my assistant.
00:26:57Alex.
00:26:59Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:02As I was saying, the transit time's in New York.
00:27:04Come on, Lincoln.
00:27:07Don't be a bore.
00:27:08It's a party.
00:27:09No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:11Am I right?
00:27:12Let's dance.
00:27:14Maybe later.
00:27:15These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?
00:27:22What are you doing?
00:27:30Are you drunk?
00:27:31The whole office is here.
00:27:32We never have any time together.
00:27:34And 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.
00:27:45I just...
00:27:46I miss you.
00:27:49And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.
00:27:52I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:27:56For old time's sake.
00:28:00One dance.
00:28:01One.
00:28:17Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:18Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:24I know you miss this.
00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:33Facts, 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.
00:28:54It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.
00:28:59We should be a family.
00:29:01We tried.
00:29:03And failed miserably.
00:29:05I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:06Are you sure about that?
00:29:09Camilla, don't.
00:29:11Kiss me.
00:29:12If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:20Stop.
00:29:21Jesus.
00:29:21Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:28Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:31Look at me.
00:29:33You 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.
00:29:44You hear me?
00:29:45Ever.
00:29:46Now, you need to go.
00:29:47But...
00:29:48Right now.
00:30:12Not having any fun?
00:30:13Oh.
00:30:18Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:28This is my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:31And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:35And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:40So it's 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.
00:30:48Something funny?
00:30:54Time to go.
00:30:59It's okay.
00:31:07Arturo.
00:31:09Take 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.
00:31:16Don'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.
00:31:22First of all, she's my ex.
00:31:25And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:27I'm the 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?
00:31:37I'm the CEO 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.
00:31:52I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:15Yeah, it was a lot.
00:32:17You don't know about me.
00:32:26That cost $8,000.
00:32:28Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:32Now get the hell over here.
00:32:39Is that a scar?
00:32:40It's odd.
00:32:46Fuck me.
00:33:04I won't be with you.
00:33:05I won't know what.
00:33:07We can't let this go to waste.
00:33:08I don't wanna know what it is
00:33:11Don't let this go too high
00:33:38You, uh, wanna come inside?
00:33:49Uh, no
00:33:50Right, no, of course not
00:33:57Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday
00:34:08Morning
00:34:20Morning
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
00:34:44She's a soft spot
00:34:45Lakin's got some serious trust issues
00:34:48Like, 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
00:35:03Took him, like, three years to come to his senses
00:35:05And when he finally did, ooh, surprise, surprise
00:35:07Guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:10Jesus
00:35:11Maybe 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
00:35:25How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:28Seven?
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 post-mortem 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, uh, you're too tall
00:36:23You know, my Malia, last time I saw her
00:36:26She was just about my knee high
00:36:28Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:31Hmm, because this little woman is an imposter
00:36:33Are we expecting company?
00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate
00:36:49Alex?
00:36:56Waken?
00:36:58Waken?
00:36:58Waken?
00:36:58Waken?
00:37:19Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:25Me neither.
00:37:36It's okay. I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:40My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:43He's right. It is.
00:37:46Look on the bright side. At least it's not brussel sprouts, am I right?
00:37:54Thank you. That was delicious.
00:38:01All right.
00:38:04Miss Livingston.
00:38:07A word.
00:38:08Uh, 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.
00:38:30You 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.
00:38:49Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:56Works for me.
00:39:00I'll be right back.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:13Come on.
00:39:14Get your bed.
00:39:16Come on.
00:39:30She likes you, you know?
00:39:54She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:40:00I like her, too.
00:40:07So, are we gonna figure out what happened?
00:40:11Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:16Your job is not in danger.
00:40:17Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:26What 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.
00:40:33I...
00:40:34But I also can't accept the fact that...
00:40:38Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:41I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:46I want you, Alex.
00:40:48That's the problem.
00:40:55What if we separate church and state?
00:41:01At work, we're professional.
00:41:05But outside of work, we're...
00:41:08Unprofessional?
00:41:09I think the light is like...
00:41:11I'm asleep walking through
00:41:14All of my problems and no
00:41:17I can't make it through
00:41:20Every night is the same
00:41:23I keep running fast
00:41:24Left and right
00:41:26Wondering where my head's gone now
00:41:29I'm asleep walking through
00:41:33All of my problems and no
00:41:35Liam, hurry.
00:41:38Let's go, Malia, come on.
00:41:43Mom!
00:41:44Faster!
00:41:47Hey, uh...
00:41:48Lincoln's not here right now.
00:41:50He just landed in New York.
00:41:52I know.
00:41:53But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:41:57Going to LA.
00:41:59Business trip.
00:42:00So, she's all yours.
00:42:02Oh, uh...
00:42:03I'm not really here to be childcare.
00:42:06I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:10Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:19Why doesn't she want to be with me?
00:42:22Hey, hey.
00:42:24It's okay, Malia.
00:42:25Alex, what's going on?
00:42:40Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:41Camila just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:43She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:46What?
00:42:47Let me talk to her.
00:42:52Hi, honey.
00:42:53Are you okay?
00:42:54Hi.
00:42:55Listen, uh...
00:42:57Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:42:59I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:02Everything is fine.
00:43:03I love you.
00:43:04I love you, too.
00:43:05I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:13So much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:28Okay, so we'll get you fed.
00:43:30I can help you with your homework.
00:43:32And by the time your dad gets back...
00:43:34Is that too much rice?
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:46Has your mom done this before?
00:43:50Sort of.
00:43:52Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work trips.
00:44:00Work trips.
00:44:01Huh.
00:44:02Does your dad know about this?
00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:08She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:14Shit!
00:44:15I mean, shoot!
00:44:16Shoot!
00:44:20Shoot!
00:44:24Shoot!
00:44:25Shoot!

00:48:51how are you going to do that
00:48:56let me show you
00:49:05lately feels like i've been faking think there's a stranger here instead
00:49:11there you have it
00:49:12you're like the neighbors
00:49:29you know i think more people should try coworkers with benefits
00:49:51you know i think more people should try coworkers with benefits
00:49:59so you want to tell me what happened here
00:50:07not really
00:50:13sorry i um i was just curious
00:50:17congenital heart defect you don't want to hear about it it's too much too much
00:50:23this condition these bills this scar my parents were incredible they gave up everything for me they drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal now they're gone car accident i was a senior in high school i begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then
00:50:45alex
00:50:51sorry way too much information especially from a fuck buddy
00:50:57you know
00:51:01you know
00:51:03you know
00:51:09you know
00:51:11you know
00:51:13you know
00:51:15you know
00:51:17you know
00:51:19you know
00:51:21why
00:51:23you know
00:51:29you know
00:51:31you know
00:51:33you know
00:51:35and
00:51:36you know
00:51:37you know
00:51:39was the one who wanted us to be a happy family. Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:47I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:51The only reason she wants to get back together is for the money. Not for me, and certainly not
00:51:57for her daughter. She's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt, abandoning her daughter
00:52:05like that. Have you thought about pursuing sole custody? I want to, but it's too risky. The
00:52:13courts usually side with the mother. I can't risk losing my daughter. They 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? Camilla 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. I think you could have a case
00:52:36here. I don't know. I don't want to put her through that. I mean, making her testify against
00:52:42her own mother? I can't do that. I know you want what's best for Malia, and sharing her
00:52:49with Camilla isn't it. Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants, and if
00:52:56that's money, you're fine. You have it. Malia deserves people in her life who care about
00:53:02her. You're right. Malia deserves better. I will talk to her this week.
00:53:22It seems like I owe you again.
00:53:26Greedy? I meant breakfast.
00:53:31You can cook?
00:53:33Yes, I can. For the right company.
00:53:39I should have known someone near Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:54:00Shit. Fuck. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
00:54:02It's okay. Really, it's actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name
00:54:09again.
00:54:11Thank you again for everything. I know this wasn't part of the job description, and I'm
00:54:16sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:24Right. Not exactly.
00:54:27He told you all of that? What are you, a miracle worker? A saint?
00:54:37Hardly.
00:54:40Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:46Cross my heart, hope to die.
00:54:47Your dad is paying me to do this, to help Lakin.
00:54:56That's what a job is. You work for the company. You know that, right?
00:54:59You don't understand. Your dad offered to pay off my student loans and cover my medical
00:55:04bills for life if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant. He wanted me to keep him away from
00:55:09Camilla. By any means necessary, he said. Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:15Fucking like rabbits.
00:55:18Coworkers with benefits? Excuse me? It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:25Why? Because you're helping him get his shit together and getting paid for it? Seems like
00:55:29a win-win to me.
00:55:30It won't feel like that if he finds out. I'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:33Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:37Chase, I can't keep lying to him. I think...
00:55:41I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:47So more than co-workers with benefits.
00:55:58Thanks for meeting me. I wanted to talk to you about...
00:56:02Your new girlfriend?
00:56:04What?
00:56:05I know all about your little sleepover.
00:56:09You know, I'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing another woman into our daughter's
00:56:12life. Especially that one.
00:56:15What do you mean by that one?
00:56:18Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in L.A.
00:56:21It was a work trip.
00:56:22Oh, really?
00:56:23She's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been, which
00:56:36is actually why I'm here.
00:56:39Enough is enough.
00:56:41I want sole custody.
00:56:44So this is it?
00:56:46You want to break up our family for that lying little...
00:56:49You don't want a family.
00:56:51You just want my money.
00:56:51I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:53You think I want money?
00:56:56How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:56:58What do you mean?
00:56:59I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
00:57:08That 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?
00:57:24The only reason why she's working for you is because your dad promised to pay her medical
00:57:29bills if she kept you away from me.
00:57:33No, she wouldn't do that.
00:57:34That's not who she is.
00:57:35If you don't believe me, just ask your dad.
00:57:48Is 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.
00:58:00Do 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.
00:58:10This has nothing to do with the company.
00:58:11Your inability to cut Camilla from your life seriously calls into question your abilities
00:58:16as a leader.
00:58:17As in does the way you've closed yourself off from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:21So what?
00:58:22I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?
00:58:24That is bullshit.
00:58:26My love life is none of your business.
00:58:28Yes, but the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:58:33Alex is a smart girl with a good heart.
00:58:36She cares about Malia.
00:58:38And she challenges you.
00:58:40She's fired.
00:58:42Thanks to you.
00:58:43What are you doing here?
00:59:10We need to talk.
00:59:11We are?
00:59:14You want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting back
00:59:17together?
00:59:19Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:22Because you still love her?
00:59:23God, I'm so fucking stupid.
00:59:25Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:27God, Alex, I trusted you.
00:59:33I told you things that I've never even told my family.
00:59:37And this whole time, you were just in it for the money.
00:59:40I, that was before anything happened between us.
00:59:46Lincoln, I couldn't say no.
00:59:48That kind of money, you know my situation, but I never meant to hurt you.
00:59:52And fucking me, what?
00:59:53That was just a way to ensure job security?
00:59:54That's all I am to you.
00:59:57Just a transaction?
00:59:59Of course not.
01:00:01How dare you?
01:00:03Why should I believe you?
01:00:06You know, you're just like her.
01:00:08I am not like Camilla.
01:00:11Lincoln, I care about you.
01:00:13You're fired.
01:00:14And this thing between us, that's over too.
01:00:38Let's go.
01:00:47Let's go.
01:01:08Rocky 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.
01:01:32I've changed.
01:01:33I've heard that before.
01:01:36God, it turns me on when you act like you're a bitch.
01:01:37All right, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:40Have you left your house yet?
01:01:42Well, I'm going to try and get my old job back,
01:01:44so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.
01:01:48Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same day is a lot.
01:01:52You can take some time to mourn.
01:01:56I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.
01:01:59I was so stupid thinking you actually cared about me.
01:02:07What's wrong with me?
01:02:18Nothing.
01:02:19Absolutely nothing.
01:02:26I'm sorry.
01:02:27I just...
01:02:30I think I'm going 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.
01:03:09I promise.
01:03:12I promise.
01:03:14I promise.
01:03:46Hey, 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?
01:04:12So I can cabinet to the left.
01:04:16I 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.
01:04:43What 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 his own life.
01:05:08I'm sorry.
01:05:11Really.
01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:16Are you good?
01:05:23I'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.
01:05:47She's a good person, Lincoln.
01:05:50She cares about you.
01:05:51A lot.
01:05:52A lot.
01:05:54She hated the deal.
01:05:56She hated lying to you.
01:05:58She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:02And 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.
01:06:24Call her.
01:06:34Call her.
01:06:50Call her.
01:06:51Call her.
01:06:51I don't know.
01:07:21Fuck 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?
01:07:51Pleasure 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?
01:08:30Good fucking riddance.
01:08:31I'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?
01:08:42And if you don't want to excuse me,
01:08:45I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:08:49Congrats, bro.
01:08:55Let's celebrate.
01:09:07Come on.
01:09:08We 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
01:09:16knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her
01:09:18to 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
01:09:30to help you get custody.
01:09:32She blocked my number.
01:09:34And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep
01:09:37on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:40It 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.
01:09:51Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back,
01:09:53but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:09:58She's working here again?
01:10:02Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:03Go get her.
01:10:11Hi.
01:10:20Ready to order?
01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:30What are you doing here?
01:10:36Uh, Jace brought me
01:10:38to 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,
01:10:51I want to apologize.
01:10:54I made a huge mistake.
01:10:56Thanks.
01:10:57I, I actually need to take my break right now.
01:10:59Oh, shit.
01:11:08You okay?
01:11:12Hey.
01:11:13Hey.
01:11:14Whoa!
01:11:16Someone call 9-11!
01:11:18Help!
01:11:19It's okay.
01:11:20Any update?
01:11:39There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but the doctor said that she's in critical condition, they're going to operate tomorrow, and 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.
01:12:05And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't help either.
01:12:10I should have just left her alone.
01:12:12It's not your fault, Lakin.
01:12:15And now Alex could...
01:12:17She could...
01:12:17Hey, stop.
01:12:19Don't talk like that.
01:12:35Hey, 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?
01:13:02What 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, it's not like that.
01:13:17I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.
01:13:21I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:26You 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 feel like I owe you.
01:14:02I don't want to feel like I owe you.
01:14:04I don't want to feel like I owe you.
01:14:12Morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:21It's good to see you awake.
01:14:24You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:29I got you something.
01:14:30This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:53It was Dad.
01:14:55You feel horrible he wasn't here after your episode,
01:14:58so he's been helping out with Muleo while they can watch us 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.
01:15:09You 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. Why should I...
01:15:23Hey, Alex.
01:15:26You deserve love.
01:15:28It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:32I'm sorry.
01:15:33I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:34Fuck.
01:15:34I'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.
01:16:22Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:49She misses you.
01:16:52Everyone misses you.
01:16:53My dad, Jace, and me.
01:17:00It was wrong with me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:07I can see that now.
01:17:09I've just...
01:17:10I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:13And 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.
01:17:19What 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?
01:17:32They 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, they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:40That's not sacrifice.
01:17:44That's love.
01:17:46I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:49About 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, is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:11It is simply because you love them.
01:18:15Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:31I can't stop.
01:18:33It's true.
01:18:36And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:42Prove it? How?
01:18:45Is that a...
01:18:54Scars.
01:18:56Just like yours.
01:18:59Are those tattoos?
01:19:01I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:06I love you, Alex.
01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:15Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:21Please.
01:19:25I love you, too.
01:19:26I love you.
01:19:26What are you doing next week?
01:19:55I want to take you to a party.
01:19:59Another gala?
01:20:01Something like that.
01:20:04And you know the guest of honor very well.
01:20:06Who is it?
01:20:08Who is it?
01:20:09You'll see.
01:20:14Happy birthday, dear Malia.
01:20:21Happy birthday to you.
01:20:26What did you wish for?
01:20:36A new mommy.
01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:44I got you something.
01:20:45It 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.
01:20:56It might not be the biggest present you get, but I don't let you know.
01:21:00I just don't let you know.
01:21:01I'm sorry.
01:21:02I'm sorry.
01:21:03I'm sorry.
01:21:03I'm sorry.
01:21:03I'm sorry.
01:21:04I'm sorry.
01:21:05I'm sorry.
01:21:05I'm sorry.
01:21:05I'm sorry.
01:21:06I was sorry.
01:21:06You're a little, too.
01:21:07I'm sorry.
01:21:08I'm sorry.
01:21:09So come with us, don't hold back tonight
01:21:16Oh yeah, the sky's going black
01:21:20So come with us, don't hold back tonight
01:21:26Oh yeah, the sky's going black
