Short filmTranscript
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.
00:00:09What are you doing here?
00:00:10I work here.
00:00:11Must be a pity hire.
00:00:13Better 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 ward will find another CEO.
00:00:23I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:00:25I need you to stay.
00:00:27It's just a dance.
00:00:28Do not be weird about this.
00:00:29And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:00:33Right.
00:00:41I 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?
00:00:54She'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
00:01:04if she kept you away from me.
00:01:05I can't keep lying to him.
00:01:07I think I'm falling for him.
00:01:08If you can't do him, you can't wait until now.
00:01:16Hey!
00:01:19Wait!
00:01:21Hmm!
00:01:22Oh!
00:01:23Wait!
00:01:24This is all DWAREN, though.
00:01:25I'm following up with New York about next month, but, uh, how do you spell Rapport?
00:01:45R-A-P-P-O-R-T comes from the French Rapport 2, bring back, as in Je Rapport, c'est plat
00:01:52à la cuisine, I'm bringing these dishes back to the kitchen.
00:01:56Well, you can bring that little attitude of yours back there as well.
00:02:01I didn't realize they taught French at waitress school.
00:02:05I went to UC Berkeley.
00:02:06Heard of it?
00:02:07That's where you went.
00:02:12I'll be right back, gentlemen.
00:02:17That's R-A-P-P-O-R-T.
00:02:19Yeah.
00:02:20I got it.
00:02:22Here comes the smart mouth again.
00:02:24You'd think a hospitality major would be a little bit more hospitable?
00:02:27For your information, I studied business.
00:02:31Just graduated.
00:02:32Congrats on the degree.
00:02:33I can see things are really working out for you here.
00:02:35At least I know how to spell.
00:02:38Excuse me.
00:02:39I ordered this steak, medium rare, and it is medium.
00:02:43I'll be with you in just a moment.
00:02:45I think I've waited long enough.
00:02:46She's busy right now.
00:02:47She'll be with you when she's done here.
00:02:49I can speak for myself.
00:02:51Daddy.
00:02:52One second, sweetheart.
00:02:53You sure about that?
00:02:54Seems like you got a little bit too much on your plate here.
00:02:58Malia, oh my god.
00:02:59Sweetheart.
00:03:00Sweetheart.
00:03:01Sweetheart.
00:03:02Hey, dad, where are our pills?
00:03:03Here.
00:03:04Hey, come here.
00:03:05Lay her down.
00:03:06I got you.
00:03:07Daddy's here.
00:03:08Hey, Malia.
00:03:09We need to elevate her legs and increase blood flow to the brain.
00:03:11Give her some room to breathe.
00:03:12She's my daughter.
00:03:13I know what's best for her.
00:03:14Clearly not, or you wouldn't be raising her voice right now.
00:03:17Now elevate her legs.
00:03:18I'm calling 911.
00:03:19Daddy?
00:03:20Honey, hey.
00:03:21Okay, sit up.
00:03:22Here.
00:03:23It's okay.
00:03:24Take this.
00:03:25Little sips, okay, honey?
00:03:26We're good.
00:03:27Thanks.
00:03:28Honey, you think you can stand up?
00:03:30Slow, nice and slow.
00:03:31I got you.
00:03:32Look at me.
00:03:33You okay?
00:03:34I am taking you to see Dr. Schaff right now to get you checked out.
00:03:37No, I'm fine.
00:03:38No buts, okay?
00:03:39Come on.
00:03:40Come on.

00:03:58Dad, can you take care of the bill?
00:04:00Yeah.
00:04:10Please excuse my son.
00:04:13What he meant was, thank you...
00:04:16Alex.
00:04:17And it's alright.
00:04:18It was a stressful situation.
00:04:20Yeah, how do you know how to handle that?
00:04:23Sometimes I faint when I get stressed out.
00:04:26Heart defect.
00:04:27I was born with it.
00:04:29Learned how to take care of myself over the years.
00:04:31Well, you shouldn't be working as a waitress with a condition like that.
00:04:34You know, running around all day.
00:04:36Student loans and a looming surgery I can't even begin to afford don't just pay for themselves.
00:04:43Oh my god.
00:04:44Oh my god.
00:04:46You know, there's an opening at my office.
00:04:47Less footwork.

00:09:10korea you're gonna need that coming
00:09:19we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure
00:09:22it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down operation times and
00:09:30shifting our operations to detroit might create bottlenecks we we just can't afford right now
00:09:36so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate
00:09:40i need solutions faster not more excuses people
00:09:44we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet
00:09:50um sorry to interrupt
00:09:52but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your existing rail
00:10:01contracts to offset the overflow
00:10:05so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics
00:10:08uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but
00:10:15cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure
00:10:20it wouldn't solve all your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting you down
00:10:24entirely actually that could work worth a shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at
00:10:32it and sort out the details is there anything else i should know about my business not yet

00:21:09Come here
00:21:30So, Miss Livingston, I was looking over the official guest list for the party tonight,
00:21:47and you lied to me.
00:21:51Your name's not Alexandra, is it?
00:21:57I thought only HR saw that.
00:22:00Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar.
00:22:04I think that's a very sweet name.
00:22:06I'm not embarrassed, it's just private.
00:22:12My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:17I see.
00:22:20I apologize.
00:22:21I didn't know.
00:22:23I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:26Hey.
00:22:28Alex.
00:22:30I mean, I'm sorry.
00:22:40I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:43I'll be right back.
00:22:43Look at you.
00:22:52You look stunning.
00:22:55See the dress?
00:22:59This could turn even me straight.
00:23:01Picked it out just for you.
00:23:02It's perfect.
00:23:03May I have this dance, my lady?
00:23:04It's just the way I've never let me go.
00:23:15Why do we feel like we're not good enough?
00:23:19Why don't we lose all of this camera brush?
00:23:23For you.
00:23:25Hey, bro.
00:23:26Is that for me?
00:23:27Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:28And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:33Date?
00:23:33I knew it.
00:23:35My guest.
00:23:36You know what I mean.
00:23:37Yeah, sure.
00:23:37I know what you mean.
00:23:38I'll take that.
00:23:39I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:40It's just a dance.
00:23:53Do not be weird about this.
00:23:55Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:57Everyone else is dancing.
00:23:59It would look strange if we didn't.
00:24:00And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:07Right.
00:24:20So, something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:25Jase?
00:24:26Of course not.
00:24:27That was nothing.
00:24:29It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:32If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:36Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:37I'm just looking out for my assistant.
00:24:43Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:45He's, you know.
00:24:48He's what?
00:24:50You don't know?
00:24:54Never mind.
00:24:55So, you guys aren't that close then.
00:24:58Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:25:03If 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.
00:25:11That's none of your concern.
00:25:13Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.
00:25:18It's unprofessional.
00:25:19What, this?
00:25:23This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:28Right.
00:25:29A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.
00:25:34It's completely innocent.
00:25:35Hmm.
00:25:36We're barely touching.
00:25:37We could have had a...
00:25:42Lincoln.
00:25:46Dad.
00:25:48Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:51I need you to make your rounds.
00:25:53Miss Livingston?
00:25:55Shall we?
00:25:56Okay.
00:26:01Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:06Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:13Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:16Oh, yes.
00:26:18Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:19Nice work.
00:26:21Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:24I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:25Oh, you got that vibe, makes it come alive.
00:26:28You're so picture-perfect.
00:26:30You're so picture-perfect.
00:26:31You're so picture-perfect.
00:26:33You're so picture-perfect.
00:26:34You're so picture-perfect.
00:26:36Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:39I like it.
00:26:41What are you doing here?
00:26:42I just thought I'd stop by.
00:26:44I thought you could use the moral support.
00:26:46Where's Malia?
00:26:47I got a babysitter.
00:26:50I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:56Who's this?
00:26:58Uh, no one.
00:26:59Just, uh, my assistant.
00:27:00Alex, nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:07As I was saying, the transit times in New York, I really...
00:27:10Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:12Don't be a bore, it's a party.
00:27:14No one wants to talk about business.
00:27:16Am I right?
00:27:18Let's dance.
00:27:19Maybe later.
00:27:20These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:21You don't mind if I steal him, do you?
00:27:33What are you doing?
00:27:35Are you drunk?
00:27:36The whole office is here.
00:27:37You never have any time together.
00:27:39And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:27:41We're not together anymore.
00:27:42You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.
00:27:45Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:48I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
00:27:50I just...
00:27:51I miss you.
00:27:54And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.
00:27:58I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:28:01For old time's sake.
00:28:05One dance.
00:28:06Thanks.
00:28:15Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:27Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:29I know you miss this.
00:28:35This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:39Flax, Lincoln.
00:28:40So tense.
00:28:42I could fix that, you know.
00:28:45What do you want, hmm?
00:28:47And don't give me some bullshit about missing me.
00:28:49I know you.
00:28:51You want money, don't you?
00:28:53Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:57Malia's getting older.
00:29:00It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.
00:29:04We should be a family.
00:29:06We tried.
00:29:08And failed miserably.
00:29:10I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:12Are you sure about that?
00:29:15Camilla, don't.
00:29:17Kiss me.
00:29:18If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.
00:29:25Stop.
00:29:26Jesus.
00:29:30Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:33Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:36Look at me.
00:29:37You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:41Because you know I will.
00:29:44Let me make something very clear to you.
00:29:47We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:29:49You hear me?
00:29:50Ever.
00:29:51Now, you need to go.
00:29:53But...
00:29:53Right now.
00:30:17Not having any fun?
00:30:18Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:34It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:37And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.
00:30:40And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.
00:30:43So it's the last call, right?
00:30:47I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:30:49Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.
00:30:50Oh, my God.
00:30:52Stop.
00:30:54Something funny?
00:30:59Time to go.
00:31:04It's okay.
00:31:05Arturo.
00:31:14Took Miss Livingston home.
00:31:15You're being incredibly rude.
00:31:17You know that?
00:31:18You're getting wasted at a company party.
00:31:21It's totally inappropriate.
00:31:23Don't you inappropriate me.
00:31:24Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.
00:31:26You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:27Okay, first of all, she's my ex.
00:31:30And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:32I'm a CEO.
00:31:34Interrupt.
00:31:35Right.
00:31:36Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:31:39What, my title not good enough for you?
00:31:41Charm your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:43CEO this week, chairman the next.
00:31:45Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.
00:31:48What do you care anyway?
00:31:49I thought you weren't attracted to me.
00:31:51I'm not.
00:31:53Oh, yeah?
00:31:55Yeah.
00:31:56Liar.
00:31:57I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:20Yeah, it was.
00:32:21Yeah, it was.
00:32:22I can't even know about me.
00:32:31That cost $8,000.
00:32:33Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:37Now get the hell over here.
00:32:38Is that a scar?
00:32:47It's odd.
00:32:51Fuck me.
00:32:52Don't mind.
00:32:53I can't do it.
00:32:54You're right.
00:32:56I can't.
00:32:57I can't.
00:32:59You're right.
00:33:00I can't.
00:33:05I can't.
00:33:05I don't do this thing cause I wanna be with you
00:33:08I wanna be with you
00:33:10Don't run away, you can't let this go too waste
00:33:14I don't wanna do this, don't let this go too waste
00:33:20Don't let this go too waste
00:33:35You, uh, want to come inside?
00:33:54Uh, no.
00:33:58Right. No.
00:34:01Of course not.
00:34:02Um, well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.
00:34:20Morning.
00:34:26Morning.
00:34:32I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.
00:34:41It's not your fault.
00:34:42Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:45Me, Dad.
00:34:46But I've seen how he is with Malia, and...
00:34:49He's a soft spot.
00:34:52Laken's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:54Like, he needs therapy about it.
00:34:57Camilla really messed him up.
00:34:58Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:35:03That bitch is a gold digger.
00:35:05I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.
00:35:08Took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did,
00:35:11Oh, surprise, surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:15Jesus.
00:35:18Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.
00:35:20It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:22Look, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:31How about you come over for dinner tonight?
00:35:33Seven?
00:35:33I'll text you the details.
00:35:36Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:37Great.
00:35:38Great.
00:35:38I can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:36:01Dad insisted.
00:36:02Something about never getting to see Malia these days.
00:36:04I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.
00:36:09You know, like normal business partners and not...
00:36:11Family members.
00:36:13Exactly.
00:36:17Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:24Grandpa, I told you it's me.
00:36:26You?
00:36:27Ah, you're too tall.
00:36:29No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.
00:36:33Hey, has anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:36Hmm.
00:36:36Because this little woman is an imposter.
00:36:39Hee hee hee.
00:36:41Are we expecting company?
00:36:53Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:37:00Alex?
00:37:01Lincoln?
00:37:02You made it.
00:37:26Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:30Me neither.
00:37:31It's okay.
00:37:41It's okay.
00:37:42I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:44My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.
00:37:49He's right.
00:37:50It is.
00:37:52Look on the bright side.
00:37:53At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:38:04That was delicious.
00:38:06All right.
00:38:09Miss Livingston.
00:38:12A word.
00:38:13Mr. Blaine for the other night, I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:25Alex, I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:29Really?
00:38:30It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:33Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:34You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:38I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.
00:38:42Thank you, Jace.
00:38:43You're very welcome.
00:38:44Jace, don't.
00:38:45Bye.
00:38:47Want to watch Disney with us?
00:38:49Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?
00:38:53But I want to hang out with Alex.
00:38:54Please, Daddy.
00:38:56Please.
00:38:56Please.
00:38:56I'll be right back.
00:39:16Hey.
00:39:18Come on.
00:39:19I can chill, bud.
00:39:21Come on.
00:39:26Come on.
00:39:56She likes you, you know?
00:40:01She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.
00:40:04I like her, too.
00:40:12So, are we going to figure out what happened?
00:40:16Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:21Your job is not in danger.
00:40:22Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:31What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:32I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:36Not with the board watching my every move.
00:40:38But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:47I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:51I want you, Alex.
00:40:53That's the problem.
00:40:54What if we separate church and state?
00:41:06At work, we're professional.
00:41:10But outside of work, we're...
00:41:13Unprofessional?
00:41:14I think the light is like...
00:41:16I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems, I know.
00:41:22I can't make it through.
00:41:26Every night is the same.
00:41:28I keep running fast, left and right.
00:41:31Wondering where my head's gone now.
00:41:34I'm asleep, walking through all of my problems, I know.
00:41:40Malia, hurry, come on.
00:41:44Let's go, come on.
00:41:46Let's go, Malia, come on.
00:41:48Mom!
00:41:49Faster!
00:41:51Hey, uh, Lakin's not here right now.
00:41:55He just landed in New York.
00:41:56New York.
00:41:57I know.
00:41:58But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:42:02Going to LA.
00:42:04Business trip.
00:42:05So, she's all yours.
00:42:06Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be child care.
00:42:10I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:42:14Mommy loves you, Malia.
00:42:19I'll see you in two weeks, okay?
00:42:24Why doesn't you want to be with me?
00:42:27Hey, hey.
00:42:29It's okay, Malia.
00:42:30Yeah.
00:42:36Alex, what's going on?
00:42:44Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:45Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:48She said she can't take care of this week after all.
00:42:50What?
00:42:51Let me talk to her.
00:42:56Hi, honey.
00:42:57Are you okay?
00:42:58Hi.
00:42:59Listen, uh, Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:43:03I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?
00:43:06Everything is fine.
00:43:08I love you.
00:43:09I love you, too.
00:43:14I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.
00:43:17So much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:19I will book the first flight out this evening.
00:43:22Okay.
00:43:23Okay.
00:43:24Bye.
00:43:24Bye.
00:43:24Okay, so, we'll get you fed, I can help you with your homework, and by the time your dad
00:43:37gets back, send you a bunch of rice.
00:43:41I'm sorry.
00:43:43You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:50Has your mom done this before?
00:43:51Sort of.
00:43:56Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days, so she can go on work
00:44:02trips.
00:44:04Work trips.
00:44:06Huh.
00:44:07Does your dad know about this?
00:44:09I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:12She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:18Shit!
00:44:19I mean, shoot!
00:44:21Oh my god, Malia!
00:44:40Malia.
00:44:44I'm sorry.
00:44:46I didn't mean to.
00:44:47I didn't mean to.
00:45:00Better?
00:45:04Good.
00:45:09How will we order some pizza?
00:45:10Malia.
00:45:33Malia.
00:45:34Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:38You can talk to me.
00:45:46Believe me, I understand.
00:45:50What do you mean?
00:45:55It's from surgery.
00:45:57I was born with a heart defect.
00:45:59Just like you.
00:46:01Really?
00:46:01Really?
00:46:01I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:06Who is it?
00:46:28It's me.

00:48:53let me make it up to you
00:48:57how are you gonna do that
00:48:59how are you gonna do that
00:49:01i don't know
00:49:03i don't know if i can take it must be a monster
00:49:07let me show you
00:49:09lately feels like i've been faking think there's a stranger here instead
00:49:15you're like the neighbors
00:49:34You know, I think more people should try co-workers with benefits.
00:50:04So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:12Not really.
00:50:16Sorry, I was just curious.
00:50:22Congenital heart defect. You don't want to hear about it. It's too much.
00:50:26Too much?
00:50:28This condition, these bills, this scar.
00:50:32My parents were incredible.
00:50:34They gave up everything for me.
00:50:36They drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try and make my life normal.
00:50:42And now they're gone.
00:50:44Car accident when I was a senior in high school.
00:50:48I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then.
00:50:54Alex.
00:50:55Sorry, way too much information.
00:50:58Especially from a fuck buddy, you don't need to know my sob story.
00:51:01You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:51:07I know. She told me.
00:51:09Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:11Look, I've never told anybody this, but...
00:51:17Malia was born with her defect because Camilla...
00:51:21She took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out in modeling gigs.
00:51:29I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:31Oh my god.
00:51:33It's terrible.
00:51:35Truth is, she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:39I did.
00:51:41I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family.
00:51:45Turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:49I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:53The only reason she wants to get back together is for the money.
00:51:59Not for me, and certainly not for her daughter.
00:52:03You know, she's always been irresponsible, but this latest stunt...
00:52:07Abandoning her daughter like that...
00:52:09It's...
00:52:11Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:13I want to, but...
00:52:15It's too risky.
00:52:17The courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:19I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:21They don't always...
00:52:25Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:29What did she say to you?
00:52:31Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips.
00:52:35It's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met.
00:52:39I think you could have a case here.
00:52:41I don't know.
00:52:43I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:45I mean, making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:47I...
00:52:48I can't do that.
00:52:49I know you want what's best for Malia.
00:52:52And sharing her with Camilla isn't it.
00:52:55Maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants.
00:52:58And if that's money, fine.
00:53:01You have it.
00:53:03Malia deserves people in her life who care about her.
00:53:06You're right.
00:53:08Malia deserves better.
00:53:11I will talk to her this week.
00:53:22It seems like I owe you again.
00:53:31Greedy?
00:53:32I meant breakfast.
00:53:35You can cook?
00:53:37Yes, I can.
00:53:39For the right company.
00:53:41I should have known someone near Sugar would have such a sweet tooth.
00:54:00Shit.
00:54:02Fuck.
00:54:03I'm sorry.
00:54:04I didn't mean to.
00:54:06It's okay.
00:54:07Really.
00:54:08It's...
00:54:09Actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again.
00:54:14Thank you again for everything.
00:54:16I know this wasn't part of the job description.
00:54:19And I'm sure dealing with my ex wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:23Right.
00:54:24Not exactly.
00:54:25He told you all of that?
00:54:26What are you, a miracle worker?
00:54:27A saint?
00:54:28Hardly.
00:54:29Look, if I tell you something, you promise not to say anything to anyone.
00:54:32Cross my heart, I hope to die.
00:54:40Your dad is paying me to do this.
00:55:01you work for the company you know that right you don't understand your dad offered to pay
00:55:05off my student loans and cover my medical bills for life if i stuck it out as lakin's assistant
00:55:11he wanted me to keep him away from camilla by any means necessary he said
00:55:17now that lakin and i are working like rabbits co-workers with benefits excuse me
00:55:25it just it seems wrong not to tell him why because you're helping him get his
00:55:30together and getting paid for it seems like a win-win to me it won't feel like that if he
00:55:35finds out he'll think i'm just using him well maybe he doesn't have to find out jace i can't
00:55:41keep lying to him i think i think i'm falling for him so more than co-workers with benefits
00:56:00thanks for meeting me i wanted to talk to you about your new girlfriend what i know
00:56:09all about your little sleepover you know i'd appreciate it if you told me before bringing
00:56:14another woman into our daughter's life especially that one what do you mean by that one alex actually
00:56:22stepped up when you abandoned her to go clubbing in la it was a work trip oh really
00:56:36she's already proven to be way better at taking care of malia than you've ever been
00:56:39which is actually why i'm here enough is enough i want sole custody this is it
00:56:48you want to break up our family for that lying you don't want a family you just want my money
00:56:55i see right through you camilla you think i want money how much do you know about your
00:57:01little assistant what do you mean i hate to be the one to tell you this but that girl is using you lakin
00:57:18i overheard jace and her laughing about it in the break room earlier today
00:57:25what do you mean she's using me the only reason why she's working for you
00:57:31is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me
00:57:36no she wouldn't do that that's not who she is if you don't believe me just ask your dad
00:57:52is it true lakin what are you doing here did you hire alex in order to keep tabs on me
00:58:01it was for your own good do not give me that father knows best routine this is a complete
00:58:07betrayal of my trust your personal issues were affecting not only the business but our family
00:58:12that is absurd this has nothing to do with the company your inability to cut camilla from your
00:58:17life seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader as it does the way you close yourself off
00:58:23from any connection romantic or so what i i can't be ceo if i don't open my heart that is
00:58:28bullshit my love life your business but the well being of my granddaughter still is
00:58:36it's a smart girl with a good heart she cares about malia and she challenges you she's fired thanks to you
00:58:58what are you doing here
00:59:14we need to talk we are you want to explain what you were doing with your ex looking like you're getting
00:59:20back together is that why you haven't gotten custody of malia because you still love her god i'm so
00:59:28fucking stupid were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad

01:07:41So, that's $250,000 a year?
01:07:46Every year?
01:07:47Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:49So, in nine more years then?
01:07:52Eight.
01:07:53You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:07:55Yes.
01:08:14Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:15You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:22She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:24I can't.
01:08:25I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:27Give her a kiss for me, will you?
01:08:28Good fucking riddance.
01:08:41I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:44It only took me a decade to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:47I am going to speak to the board in the morning, all right?
01:08:51If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:09:02Congrats, bro.
01:09:03Let's celebrate.
01:09:11Come on.
01:09:16We should be celebrating.
01:09:18Ding dong.
01:09:19The witch agreed to settle.
01:09:20Yeah.
01:09:23And now Malia has to live the rest of her life knowing that her mother didn't care enough
01:09:26about her to fight for custody.
01:09:28On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.
01:09:32You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:34What else could you want?
01:09:37Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody?
01:09:41She blocked my number.
01:09:43And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.
01:09:48It would make me look insane.
01:09:50Well, insane or romantic.
01:09:55She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:58And I don't blame her.
01:09:59Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:10:07She's working here again?
01:10:10Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:12Go get her.
01:10:20Hi.
01:10:28Ready to order?
01:10:29I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:30Alex.
01:10:40Lincoln?
01:10:42Uh, what are you doing here?
01:10:45Uh, Jace brought me.
01:10:47To celebrate.
01:10:48I won full custody.
01:10:52Congratulations.
01:10:53Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:58Uh.
01:10:59Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.
01:11:03I made a huge mistake.
01:11:04Thanks.
01:11:06I, I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:13Alex, here.
01:11:18You okay?
01:11:19Help!
01:11:24Someone call 911!
01:11:27Help!
01:11:28It's okay.
01:11:29Yeah.
01:11:30Yeah.
01:11:44Any update?
01:11:47There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but the doctor said that she's
01:11:58in critical condition, they're going to operate tomorrow, and that her chances are 50-50.
01:12:05Jesus.
01:12:07Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.
01:12:12The stress that I fucking caused her.
01:12:14And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either.
01:12:18I, I, I should have just left her alone.
01:12:21It's not your fault, Lincoln.
01:12:24And now Alex could, she could.
01:12:26Hey, stop.
01:12:27Don't talk like that.
01:12:28Oh, my God.
01:12:53Alex you're awake Jesus Christ I was so worried I thought I thought that I might
01:13:01have lost you thank you I'm fine you should leave what what are you talking
01:13:12about I can why are you here I'm here because I care about you because because
01:13:17you feel guilty this is what you do you throw money at your problems
01:13:23to make yourself feel better no it's not like that I don't want to be your
01:13:27charity case Lincoln I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again you are
01:13:35not a burden I don't think that I'd like you to go
01:13:53good morning sleepyhead
01:14:21it's good to see you awake got me worried there for a minute
01:14:33I got you something
01:14:39this almost makes me wish I hadn't made it
01:14:56where did all the flowers come from it was dad you feel horrible he wasn't here after your episode so
01:15:06he's been helping out with Malia while they can watch us over here dad paid for everything your
01:15:11insurance didn't cover fancy pacemaker extra care you name it he shouldn't have you made a deal
01:15:19Alex dad was good for it it's done I don't deserve it what are you talking about look at me Jace I'm literally fucking scarred why should I hey Alex you deserve love
01:15:35it's about time you get out of your own way and realize that
01:15:42I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you fuck I'm sorry I just
01:16:10I thought you might need some help doctor said no unnecessary stress
01:16:15well then you shouldn't have shown up
01:16:17sorry thank you but I've got it from here Alex you're recovering from surgery
01:16:28let me at least help you inside
01:16:35Malia asks about you all the time you know
01:16:57she misses you everyone misses you my dad Jace
01:17:05and me
01:17:08it was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money I can see that now
01:17:16I've just I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love
01:17:20and I've just been hurt so many times it's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check
01:17:27what you told me about your parents and how they sacrificed everything for you
01:17:36do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden
01:17:39they lost everything they had because of me
01:17:43Alex don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again they would do it exactly the same
01:17:48that's not sacrifice
01:17:51that's love
01:17:53I've been thinking about it a lot
01:17:56about what it means to give without expecting anything in return
01:18:01I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most
01:18:05but what you've taught me
01:18:08what your parents have taught me
01:18:10is that
01:18:12supporting someone
01:18:15and it's not about an obligation
01:18:17or to force an outcome
01:18:19it is simply because
01:18:22you love them
01:18:24Miss Livingston
01:18:27you are the most
01:18:29selfless
01:18:31independent

01:18:38I can't stop
01:18:41it's true
01:18:43and since you clearly don't believe me
