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 board 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, Macon.
00:00:59The only reason why she's working for you
00:01:01is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills if she kept you away from me.
00:01:05I can't keep lying to him.
00:01:07I think I'm falling for him.
00:01:30I'm following up with New York about next month.
00:01:42But, uh, how do you spell rapport?
00:01:45R-A-P-P-O-R-T.
00:01:48Comes from the French, rapporteux.
00:01:50Bring back, as in, je rapporte ces plats à la cuisine.
00:01:54I'm bringing these dishes back to the kitchen.
00:01:56Well, you can bring that little attitude of yours back there as well.
00:02:00I didn't realize they taught French at waitress school.
00:02:04I went to UC Berkeley.
00:02:06Heard of it?
00:02:07That's where you went.
00:02:12I'll be right back, gentlemen.
00:02:16That's R-A-P-P-O-R-T.
00:02:19Yeah, I got it.
00:02:21Here comes the smart mouth again.
00:02:23You'd think a hospitality major would be a little bit more hospitable.
00:02:28For your information, I studied business.
00:02:30Just graduated.
00:02:31Congrats 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.
00:02:38I ordered this steak medium rare, and it is medium.
00:02:44I'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, thank you.
00:02:54Daddy?
00:02:55One second, sweetheart.
00:02:57You sure about that?
00:02:58Seems like you got a little bit too much on your plate here.
00:03:06Malia, oh my god, sweetheart.
00:03:08Sweetheart, hey.
00:03:09Dad, where are her pills?
00:03:12Lay her down.
00:03:14I got you.
00:03:14Daddy's here.
00:03:14Hey, Malia.
00:03:15We need to elevate her legs and increase blood flow to the brain.
00:03:18Give her some room to breathe.
00:03:19She's my daughter.
00:03:20I know what's best for her.
00:03:21Clearly not, or you wouldn't be raising your voice right now.
00:03:24Now elevate her legs.
00:03:25I'm calling 911.
00:03:28Daddy?
00:03:29Honey, hey.
00:03:30OK, sit up.
00:03:33Here, it's OK.
00:03:34It's like this.
00:03:38Little sips, OK, honey?
00:03:39We're good, thanks.
00:03:44Honey, do you think you can stand up?
00:03:46Slow, nice and slow.
00:03:48I got you.
00:03:49Look at me.
00:03:51You OK?
00:03:52I am taking you to see Dr. Schaffer right now to get you checked out.
00:03:54No, I'm fine.
00:03:55No buts, OK?
00:03:57Come on.
00:03:58Dad, can you take care of the bill?
00:04:11Please excuse my son.
00:04:14What he meant was, thank you.
00:04:16Alex, and it's all right.
00:04:19It 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.
00:04:28Learned how to take care of myself over the years.
00:04:30Well, you shouldn't be working as a waitress with a condition like that.
00:04:33You know, running around all day.
00:04:35Student loans and a looming surgery I can't even begin to afford don't just pay for themselves.
00:04:46Oh my god, thank you.
00:04:48You know, there's an opening at my office.
00:04:51A little less footwork, better pay.
00:04:54Why don't you come and see me?
00:04:57Monday morning, all right?
00:04:58We'll have a chat.
00:05:009 a.m.
00:05:03And don't be late.
00:05:14Yeah, absolutely.
00:05:15I'm getting in the elevator.
00:05:16Let me call you right back.
00:05:17OK.
00:05:21You.
00:05:22What are you doing here?
00:05:24I work here.
00:05:26I didn't realize the cafeteria was hiring.
00:05:28Mr. Blanford said he had a job for me.
00:05:30Must be a pity hire.
00:05:32Better than daddy buying my position for me.
00:05:34You know, you're a lot more charming in an apron, waitress.
00:05:36I'm not a waitress.
00:05:38I'm a waitress.
00:05:40I'm a waitress.
00:05:42I'm a waitress.
00:05:44I'm a waitress.
00:05:46I'm a waitress.
00:05:48I'm a waitress.
00:05:50I'm a waitress.
00:05:52Your floor, by the way.
00:06:06You know what to do.
00:06:12I gotta go now.
00:06:14All right.
00:06:16Hello again, Alex.
00:06:18So I'll cut right to it.
00:06:20I'd like to offer you
00:06:22an executive assistant position.
00:06:24I need someone to rein in
00:06:26our interim CEO so that he can
00:06:28become the leader this company needs.
00:06:30So...
00:06:32keep him out of trouble?
00:06:34No, he's just overwhelmed.
00:06:36And his ex, Camilla,
00:06:38isn't helping.
00:06:40I need you to keep her far away from him.
00:06:42Sir, I appreciate the offer.
00:06:44I do, but I'm not interested
00:06:46in being someone's babysitter.
00:06:48Think of yourself
00:06:50as a fixer.
00:06:52I could use someone like you.
00:06:54You're smart.
00:06:56You're good under pressure.
00:06:58And if you don't tell him
00:07:00the real reason why I hired you,
00:07:02I'll handle all those medical bills of yours.
00:07:04What do you say?
00:07:08I say...
00:07:10when do I start?
00:07:12Right now.
00:07:17Hmm.
00:07:19Alex,
00:07:21meet Lincoln Blanford,
00:07:23the interim CEO of Blanford Corporation.
00:07:25And your new boss.
00:07:27Her?
00:07:29Are you joking?
00:07:31I certainly am not.
00:07:33I'm still CEO for now.
00:07:35You do as I say.
00:07:46Welcome aboard.
00:07:52Hmm.
00:07:54Let's get started.
00:07:56Did you bring your notepad from the restaurant?
00:08:04Coffee. Black.
00:08:06Every day within five minutes of my arrival.
00:08:08Lunch will be at 1 p.m.
00:08:10sharp.
00:08:12No fast food.
00:08:14I'm writing this down.
00:08:16I also need you to pick up my dry cleaning
00:08:18every week from Emilio's.
00:08:20Oh.
00:08:22And stay out of my personal life.
00:08:24That'll be all for now.
00:08:26I'll give you access
00:08:28to my work calendar later.
00:08:34That means you can go.
00:08:44Lincoln?
00:08:46I like Lucifer.
00:08:48His bark's worse than his bite.
00:08:50Trust me.
00:08:52I'm Jace, Lucifer's
00:08:54angelic younger brother. You are?
00:08:56Alex, Lincoln's new assistant.
00:08:58And it would be
00:09:00great if you didn't mention that super
00:09:02unprofessional name-calling.
00:09:04I've said worse. Your secret's safe with me.
00:09:08Alex, get in here.
00:09:10We need to roll some calls to South Korea.
00:09:12You're gonna need that.
00:09:14Coming!
00:09:18We're still evaluating
00:09:20the Chicago hub closure.
00:09:22It's costing us.
00:09:24Labor shortages at
00:09:26key distribution centers are already
00:09:28slowing down operation times
00:09:30and shifting our operations
00:09:32to Detroit might create bottlenecks
00:09:34we just can't afford right now.
00:09:36So what? We're just gonna bleed cash
00:09:38while you evaluate?
00:09:40I need solutions faster
00:09:42not more excuses, people.
00:09:44We're exploring alternatives.
00:09:46Nothing definitive yet.
00:09:50Um, sorry
00:09:52to interrupt.
00:09:56But have you considered splitting
00:09:58freight between Detroit and Cleveland
00:10:00and using your existing rail contracts
00:10:02to offset the overflow?
00:10:04So what, you're
00:10:06now an expert in freight logistics?
00:10:08Uh, no.
00:10:10But I was looking
00:10:12over last quarter's regional expense report
00:10:14while I could be off, but
00:10:16Cleveland's underutilized and you're already
00:10:18paying for the rail infrastructure.
00:10:20It wouldn't solve all of your problems
00:10:22but it could keep the Detroit bottleneck
00:10:24from shutting you down entirely.
00:10:26Actually, that could work.
00:10:28Worth a shot.
00:10:30I mean, obviously my team would need
00:10:32to take a look at it and sort out the details.
00:10:34Is there anything else
00:10:36you know about my business?
00:10:38Not yet.
00:10:44Uh,
00:10:46you heard her. Let's
00:10:48move on this right away.
00:10:50That'll be all.
00:10:54Alex has to go.
00:10:56Absolutely not. She stays.
00:10:58Look, Dad, I understand
00:11:00that I've been through an assistant or two
00:11:02Seven this year.
00:11:04She was overstepping.
00:11:06She's jumping on executive leadership calls.
00:11:08Yes, she was right.
00:11:10But she is undermining me in front of my team.
00:11:12How is that supposed to strengthen my position with the board?
00:11:14So you want to fire her
00:11:16for being too good at her job?
00:11:18Like a good leader
00:11:20isn't threatened by his employees.
00:11:22Threatened? I am not threatened by her.
00:11:24But she makes it look like I've lost control.
00:11:26Well, the board already thinks
00:11:28you've lost control.
00:11:30This constant personnel turnover makes you look
00:11:32aggressive and weak.
00:11:36You have to keep Alex.
00:11:38What are you saying?
00:11:40You fire her
00:11:42and the board will find another CEO.
00:11:44Hey.
00:12:06Hey.
00:12:08Malia, right?
00:12:10How are you feeling?
00:12:12Thanks for helping me the other day.
00:12:14Of course. You know, if you ever start to feel like that
00:12:16you should sit down
00:12:18and slow your heart rate.
00:12:20What the hell are you doing?
00:12:24Malia, honey,
00:12:26why don't you get started on your homework, okay?
00:12:32Your job is to help with my work,
00:12:34not butt into my personal life.
00:12:36I was just trying to...
00:12:38From now on, I want you to leave my daughter alone.
00:12:40How about I leave you alone, huh?
00:12:42I quit.
00:12:44Come on, it's only been a week. You really give it up that fast?
00:12:46You know what?
00:12:48Fine. Leave.
00:12:50Guess you're just not cut out for a big girl job,
00:12:52are you, waitress?
00:13:00Alex, hang on.
00:13:02Alex!
00:13:10Wait! Alex!
00:13:16I told you to wait.
00:13:18I'm not gonna stay here
00:13:20and subject myself to this bullshit any longer.
00:13:22I'm not just another one of your disposable assistants.
00:13:26I'll double your salary.
00:13:28I'll give you a four-day work week, whatever you want.
00:13:32Look,
00:13:34you can't leave, okay?
00:13:36I need you to stay.
00:13:38How about starting with an apology?
00:13:42I've been working my ass off all week
00:13:44doing everything you say,
00:13:46and you're still a dick to me.
00:13:48What do I have to do to please you?
00:13:52Look, I'm sorry, okay?
00:13:54It's not your fault.
00:13:58I just, uh...
00:14:08Alex, hang on.
00:14:14Alex, hey.
00:14:16Alex, hey. Alex, wait.
00:14:18Hold on a second.
00:14:20Look, I don't know what came over me, okay?
00:14:22But I can't lose you.
00:14:24I promise from now on
00:14:26I will clean up my act.
00:14:28No more verbal abuse?
00:14:30I didn't...
00:14:32Fine.
00:14:34No more.
00:14:36You're calling me waitress.
00:14:38It's Miss Livingston or Alex.
00:14:40Got it.
00:14:42And you said something about doubling my salary.
00:14:46Stick around for a few more months
00:14:48and then we'll talk, okay?
00:14:54You won't regret it.
00:14:56Want a bag?
00:15:06Okay.
00:15:22Sorry I'm late.
00:15:24Traffic was hell.
00:15:26A menu for you, sir.
00:15:32Hi, Malia.
00:15:34I can't compete with that iPad.
00:15:36We ordered drinks.
00:15:40A 2005 Romanée Conti.
00:15:42Best bottle on the menu.
00:15:44It better be.
00:15:46It cost $15,000.
00:15:48We are celebrating, Mr. CEO.
00:15:50Not until after I get board approval.
00:15:58So, what did you want to talk to me about?
00:16:00Malia
00:16:02and I thought
00:16:04it would be nice to spend more time
00:16:06as a family.
00:16:08It's not easy on her poor little heart.
00:16:12Malia, honey, you and I talked about this, right?
00:16:14Your mother and I love you
00:16:16very much.
00:16:18It's just...
00:16:20It's not easy
00:16:22for us to be around each other right now.
00:16:24Maybe...
00:16:26Maybe...
00:16:28we could try a little harder.
00:16:36Hey.
00:16:38I just wanted to give you a status report
00:16:40before I head home.
00:16:42Thank you, Ms. Livingston.
00:16:44So, regarding
00:16:46South Korea, I'm scheduling a Zoom
00:16:48for next week.
00:16:56It's alright.
00:16:58It's alright.
00:17:02Bacon, are you listening to me?
00:17:06Sorry, as I was saying,
00:17:08where was I?
00:17:10You can just take your top off.
00:17:12Oh my god, I meant
00:17:14you can just take it from the top.
00:17:20I gotta go.
00:17:26I gotta go.
00:17:32No soy sauce in this whole building?
00:17:36You're still here? That's surprising.
00:17:40You and my brother getting along better?
00:17:42Yeah, everything's just peachy.
00:17:46So, that little argument you guys
00:17:48had the other day, what was that, a lover's quarrel?
00:17:52Look who's blushing.
00:17:54I am not blushing,
00:17:56and that wasn't a lover's quarrel.
00:17:58He doesn't like me like that.
00:18:00So he didn't run after you
00:18:02in the elevator and sweep you off your feet?
00:18:04Chase.
00:18:06Bacon.
00:18:08So we were just talking about you.
00:18:10Lovely assistant you've got here.
00:18:12Such a sweetheart.
00:18:14Anywho, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later, Alex.
00:18:16You needed me for something?
00:18:20The company's hosting
00:18:22a charity fundraiser tomorrow night
00:18:24and I need you to go with me.
00:18:28You need a date?
00:18:30No, what I need is my assistant close by.
00:18:32So, if you have any plans
00:18:34just go ahead and cancel them.
00:18:36And here,
00:18:38take my card and buy yourself
00:18:40a dress this afternoon.
00:18:42Try to keep it under $10,000, alright?
00:18:44No problem, I'll ride my unicorn
00:18:46over to the mall after lunch.
00:18:48Got it.
00:18:50Under $10,000.
00:18:52Oh.
00:18:54And seeing as I'm buying,
00:18:56I like red.
00:19:18Oh.
00:19:48I thought I said I like red.
00:19:50Did you?
00:19:52Oops.
00:19:54Must've slipped my mind.
00:20:00Hey.
00:20:02Hey.
00:20:04Hey.
00:20:06Hey.
00:20:08Hey.
00:20:10Hey.
00:20:12Hey.
00:20:14Hey.
00:20:16Hey.
00:20:28Looks like we're almost there.
00:20:38Remember,
00:20:40this is a work event.
00:20:42The whole board's gonna be there.
00:20:44Thanks.
00:20:54Do as I say, not as I do.
00:21:02You ready?
00:21:14Yeah.
00:21:18Yeah.
00:21:24Yeah.
00:21:26Yeah.
00:21:28Yeah.
00:21:30Cheers.
00:21:42So, Miss Livingston,
00:21:44I was looking over the official
00:21:46guest list for the party tonight and
00:21:48you lied to me.
00:21:52Your name's not Alexandra,
00:21:54is it?
00:21:56I thought
00:21:58only HR saw that.
00:22:00Oh, don't be embarrassed,
00:22:02sugar.
00:22:04I think that's a very sweet name.
00:22:06I'm not embarrassed, it's just
00:22:08private.
00:22:12My parents were the only ones who called me that.
00:22:16I see.
00:22:20I apologize.
00:22:22I didn't know.
00:22:24I didn't mean to upset you.
00:22:26Hey.
00:22:28Alex.
00:22:32I mean,
00:22:34I'm sorry.
00:22:40I think I owe you a drink.
00:22:42I'll be right back.
00:22:50Look at you.
00:22:52You look stunning.
00:22:54Let's see the dress.
00:22:58Let's get turn you and me straight.
00:23:00Picked it out just for you.
00:23:02It's perfect. May I have this dance,
00:23:04milady?
00:23:22For you.
00:23:24Hey, bro.
00:23:26Is that for me?
00:23:28Get your own drink, bro.
00:23:30And maybe your own date while you're at it.
00:23:32Date?
00:23:34I knew it.
00:23:36My guest. You know what I mean.
00:23:38Sure, I know what you mean.
00:23:40I'll take that. I'll leave you guys to it.
00:23:52It's just a dance.
00:23:54Do not be weird about this.
00:23:56Oh, I'm being weird?
00:23:58Everyone else is dancing.
00:24:00It would look strange if we didn't.
00:24:02And besides,
00:24:04it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?
00:24:08Right.
00:24:10So...
00:24:22Something going on between you and my brother?
00:24:26Jace? Of course not.
00:24:28That was nothing.
00:24:30It didn't look like nothing.
00:24:32If I didn't know any better,
00:24:34I'd say you sound jealous.
00:24:36Don't be ridiculous.
00:24:38I'm just...
00:24:40looking out for my assistant.
00:24:44Well, I doubt he's interested.
00:24:46He's, you know...
00:24:48He's what?
00:24:50You don't know?
00:24:54Never mind.
00:24:56So...
00:24:58you guys aren't that close then.
00:25:00Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.
00:25:02If you hadn't noticed,
00:25:04I'm somewhat busy running the largest
00:25:06dating company in America.
00:25:08It's important to make time for family, Lincoln.
00:25:10That's none of your concern.
00:25:14Just focus on steering clear of an office romance,
00:25:16Miss Livingston.
00:25:18It's unprofessional.
00:25:22What? This?
00:25:24This is just two co-workers dancing.
00:25:28Right.
00:25:30A totally normal boss-slash-assistant
00:25:32slow dance.
00:25:34That's completely innocent.
00:25:36Hmm. We're merely touching.
00:25:44Lincoln.
00:25:46Dad.
00:25:48Well, some of our board members are already here.
00:25:50And you can make your rounds.
00:25:54Miss Livingston?
00:25:56Shall we?
00:25:58Yes.
00:26:02Well, Mr. Harris was just saying
00:26:04that he was very impressed with your recent progress.
00:26:08Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.
00:26:14Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.
00:26:16Oh, yes.
00:26:18Detroit and Cleveland.
00:26:20Nice work.
00:26:22Yes, and we're also improving transit times.
00:26:24I'll actually be in New York next week.
00:26:28Okay.
00:26:36Team there and finalizing everything,
00:26:38making sure everything's running smoothly.
00:26:40Hi, Lincoln.
00:26:42What are you doing here?
00:26:44Just thought I'd stop by.
00:26:46Thought you could use some moral support.
00:26:48Where's Malia?
00:26:50I got a babysitter.
00:26:52I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.
00:26:54Who's this?
00:26:56Uh, no one.
00:26:58Just, uh, my assistant.
00:27:00Alex.
00:27:02Nice to meet you, Alice.
00:27:06As I was saying,
00:27:08the transit time's in New York.
00:27:10Come 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.
00:27:20Maybe later. These gentlemen are on the board.
00:27:22You don't mind if I steal him, do you?
00:27:34What are you doing?
00:27:36Are you drunk? The whole office is here.
00:27:38We never have any time together.
00:27:40And there's a reason for that, Camilla.
00:27:42We're not together anymore.
00:27:44You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.
00:27:46Oh, come on, Lincoln.
00:27:48I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
00:27:50I just...
00:27:52I miss you.
00:27:54And I was thinking about
00:27:56how we used to come to these things together.
00:27:58I was hoping you'd dance with me.
00:28:02For old time's sake.
00:28:06One dance.
00:28:20Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:28:24Doesn't this feel nice?
00:28:26I know you miss this.
00:28:32This is a work event, Camilla.
00:28:34Facts, Lincoln.
00:28:36So tense.
00:28:38I could fix that, you know.
00:28:40What do you want, hmm?
00:28:42And don't give me some bullshit
00:28:44about missing me.
00:28:46I know you.
00:28:48You want money, don't you?
00:28:50Have you given any more thought
00:28:52to the conversation we had the other day?
00:28:54Malia's getting older.
00:28:56It's only getting harder to take care of her,
00:28:58especially with her situation.
00:29:00We should be a family.
00:29:02We tried
00:29:04and failed miserably.
00:29:06I can't be with you, Camilla.
00:29:08Are you sure about that?
00:29:10Camilla,
00:29:12I'm sorry.
00:29:14Camilla,
00:29:16don't.
00:29:18Kiss me. If you don't feel anything,
00:29:20I'll leave you alone.
00:29:26Stop. Jesus.
00:29:30Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.
00:29:34Lincoln, are you listening to me?
00:29:36Look at me.
00:29:38You don't want me to make a scene, do you?
00:29:40Because you know I will.
00:29:44Let me make something very clear to you.
00:29:46We are never getting back together, Camilla.
00:29:48You hear me?
00:29:50Ever.
00:29:52Now, you need to go.
00:29:54Right now.
00:30:14Not having any fun?
00:30:24Let's see if we can change that.
00:30:32It was my mom's 60th birthday, right?
00:30:34And her sorority sisters
00:30:36are drinking me under the table.
00:30:38And Agnes, her old roommate,
00:30:40slept with the bartender.
00:30:42So it's the last call, right?
00:30:44I go up to the bar looking for this guy.
00:30:46Agnes is dragging him to the bathroom.
00:30:48Oh, my God. Stop.
00:30:52Something funny?
00:30:56Time to go.
00:31:02It's okay.
00:31:12Arturo.
00:31:14Take Miss Livingston home.
00:31:16You're being incredibly rude. You know that?
00:31:18You're getting wasted at a company party.
00:31:20It's totally inappropriate.
00:31:22Don't you inappropriate me.
00:31:24Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.
00:31:26You made out in front of everyone.
00:31:28First of all, she's my ex.
00:31:30And second of all, I can do whatever I want.
00:31:32I'm the CEO.
00:31:34Interrupt.
00:31:36Right. Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?
00:31:38What, my title not good enough for you?
00:31:40Charm your way up the corporate ladder?
00:31:42CEO this week, chairman the next.
00:31:44Meanwhile, you're wasted,
00:31:46hanging all over Jace.
00:31:48What do you care anyway?
00:31:50I thought you weren't attracted to me.
00:31:52I'm not.
00:31:54Oh, yeah?
00:31:56Yeah.
00:31:58Liar.
00:32:10Fucking perverts.
00:32:18I didn't expect you to have tattoos.
00:32:20Yeah, well,
00:32:22there's nothing you don't know about me.
00:32:30That cost $8,000.
00:32:32Yeah, my fucking money.
00:32:36Now get the hell over here.
00:32:40Yeah.
00:32:44Is that a scar?
00:32:48It's odd.
00:32:52Fuck me.
00:33:10Fuck.
00:33:12Fuck.
00:33:14Fuck.
00:33:16Fuck.
00:33:18Fuck.
00:33:20Fuck.
00:33:22Fuck.
00:33:24Fuck.
00:33:40Fuck.
00:33:50You, uh,
00:33:52want to come inside?
00:33:54Uh, no.
00:33:58Right.
00:34:00No.
00:34:02Of course not.
00:34:04Well,
00:34:06I guess
00:34:08you're right.
00:34:26Morning.
00:34:28Morning.
00:34:30Morning.
00:34:36I can't believe
00:34:38I risked my job for a guy
00:34:40who doesn't give two shits about me.
00:34:42It's not your fault.
00:34:44Lakin barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?
00:34:46Me, Dad.
00:34:48But I've seen how he is with Malia, and...
00:34:50He's a soft spot.
00:34:52Lakin's got some serious trust issues.
00:34:54Like,
00:34:56he needs therapy about it.
00:34:58I messed him up.
00:35:00Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?
00:35:02That bitch is a gold digger.
00:35:04I mean, she was basically
00:35:06using him to bankroll her modeling career.
00:35:08It took him, like, three years to come to his senses,
00:35:10and when he finally did, ooh, surprise, surprise,
00:35:12guess who's suddenly pregnant?
00:35:14Jesus.
00:35:16Yeah.
00:35:18Maybe it's just best to pretend
00:35:20like this never happened.
00:35:22It sounds like he's been through a lot.
00:35:28Well, I gotta run to a meeting.
00:35:30How about you come over
00:35:32for dinner tonight?
00:35:34Seven? I'll text you the details.
00:35:36Yeah, I'm down.
00:35:38Great.
00:35:58I can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.
00:36:00Dad insisted.
00:36:02Something about never getting to see Malia
00:36:04these days.
00:36:06I wanted to have the gala post-mortem
00:36:08at the office. You know, like,
00:36:10normal business partners and not...
00:36:12Family members.
00:36:14Exactly.
00:36:18Did you, uh, give Alex a ride on Saturday?
00:36:24Grandpa, I told you it's me.
00:36:26You?
00:36:28Ah, you're too tall.
00:36:30No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was
00:36:32just about my knee high.
00:36:34Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?
00:36:36Hmm. Cause this little woman is an
00:36:38imposter.
00:36:40Are we expecting
00:36:42company?
00:36:44No.
00:36:54Tell him to send an extra plate.
00:37:00Alex?
00:37:02Lincoln?
00:37:04You made it.
00:37:28Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.
00:37:32Me neither.
00:37:34It's okay.
00:37:36I don't like asparagus either.
00:37:38My dad says I have to eat it
00:37:40because it's healthy for me.
00:37:42He's right.
00:37:44It is.
00:37:46Look on the bright side.
00:37:48At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?
00:37:58You're welcome.
00:38:02That was delicious.
00:38:04Alright.
00:38:08Miss Livingston,
00:38:10a word.
00:38:18Uh, Mr. Blainford,
00:38:20about the other night,
00:38:22I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.
00:38:24Alex,
00:38:26I've seen a change in my son.
00:38:28Really?
00:38:30It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.
00:38:32Keep doing what you're doing.
00:38:36You planned this, didn't you?
00:38:38I just thought I'd give you and Lincoln some time alone.
00:38:40Thank you, Jace.
00:38:42You're very welcome.
00:38:44Jace, don't.
00:38:46Wanna watch Disney with us?
00:38:48Uh, you have a spelling test
00:38:50to study for, remember?
00:38:52But I wanna hang out with Alex.
00:38:54Please, Daddy, please.
00:38:56Daddy, please.
00:39:02Works for me.
00:39:14I'll be right back.
00:39:16Hey.
00:39:20Chill out.
00:39:22Come on.
00:39:26Come on.
00:39:56She likes you, you know?
00:39:58She's not normally so
00:40:00comfortable with strangers.
00:40:02I like her, too.
00:40:10So, are
00:40:12we gonna figure out what happened,
00:40:14or did I just fuck myself out of a job?
00:40:18Your job is not in danger.
00:40:22Okay, then.
00:40:24Okay,
00:40:26that doesn't totally answer my question.
00:40:30What do you want me to say, Alex?
00:40:32I...
00:40:34I can't get involved with my assistant.
00:40:36Not with the board watching
00:40:38my every move.
00:40:40But I also can't
00:40:42accept the fact that
00:40:44Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...
00:40:48I thought I did something wrong.
00:40:50I want you, Alex.
00:40:52That's the problem.
00:41:00What if we
00:41:02separate church and state?
00:41:06At work,
00:41:08we're professional.
00:41:10But outside of work,
00:41:12we're...
00:41:14Unprofessional?
00:41:22I can't
00:41:24make it through.
00:41:26Every night is the same.
00:41:28I keep running fast.
00:41:30Left and right.
00:41:32Wondering where my head's going.
00:41:34I'm asleep.
00:41:36Walking through
00:41:38all of my problems and more.
00:41:42Liam, hurry.
00:41:44Go! Come on!
00:41:46Let's go, Leah. Come on.
00:41:48Mom! Faster!
00:41:52Hey, uh...
00:41:54Lincoln's not here right now. He just landed in New York.
00:41:56New York. I know.
00:41:58But it turns out
00:42:00I can't take Malia at all this week.
00:42:02Going to LA.
00:42:04Business trip.
00:42:06So, she's all yours.
00:42:08Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be childcare.
00:42:10I'm sure you'll figure
00:42:12something out.
00:42:14Mommy loves you,
00:42:16Malia.
00:42:18I'll see you in
00:42:20two weeks, okay?
00:42:24Why doesn't she
00:42:26want to be with me?
00:42:28Hey, hey. It's okay, Malia.
00:42:42Alex, what's going on?
00:42:44Hey, we have a problem.
00:42:46Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.
00:42:48She said she can't take care of her this week after all.
00:42:50What?
00:42:52Let me talk to her.
00:42:56Hi, honey.
00:42:58Are you okay? Hi.
00:43:00Listen, uh,
00:43:02Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...
00:43:04I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime,
00:43:06Alex is going to take care of you, okay? Everything is fine.
00:43:08I love you. I love you, too.
00:43:14I should have known
00:43:16I wouldn't pull a stunt like this.
00:43:18So much for that family time she wanted.
00:43:20I woke up the first flight out this evening.
00:43:22Okay.
00:43:24Okay. Bye.
00:43:32Okay, so we'll get you fed.
00:43:34I can help you with your homework.
00:43:36And by the time your dad gets back...
00:43:38Is that too much rice?
00:43:42I'm sorry.
00:43:44You have nothing to be sorry about.
00:43:50Has your mom done this before?
00:43:54Sort of.
00:43:56Sometimes she leaves me with some of her friends
00:43:58for a few days,
00:44:00so she can go on work trips.
00:44:04Work trips.
00:44:06Huh.
00:44:08Does your dad know about this?
00:44:10I'm not supposed to tell him.
00:44:12He says it's important for girls my age
00:44:14to be able to take care of themselves.
00:44:18Shit! I mean, shoot!
00:44:38Oh, my God! Malia!
00:44:40Malia.
00:44:44I'm sorry.
00:44:46I didn't mean to.
00:45:00Better?
00:45:04Good.
00:45:06How about we order some pizza?
00:45:30Malia?
00:45:32Malia?
00:45:36Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?
00:45:44You can talk to me.
00:45:46Believe me.
00:45:48I understand.
00:45:50What do you mean?
00:45:56It's from surgery.
00:45:58I was born with a heart defect.
00:46:00Just like you.
00:46:02Really?
00:46:04I didn't know anyone was like me.
00:46:26Who is it?
00:46:28It's me.
00:46:36Lincoln.
00:46:38Hi.
00:46:40Hi.
00:46:42Uh, can I see Malia?
00:46:58Hi.
00:47:12Daddy.
00:47:14It's okay, sweetie.
00:47:16I'm right here.
00:47:18Go back to sleep.
00:47:20No, stay.
00:47:24I can sleep on the couch.
00:47:26You stay, too.
00:47:30It's all right with me.
00:47:56It's okay.
00:48:08Where do you think you're going?
00:48:10To find Malia.
00:48:12I already had the driver pick her up and take her to school.
00:48:16We're all alone.
00:48:20What about work?
00:48:22Time off for good behavior.
00:48:36Thank you again for taking care of her.
00:48:42It wasn't a problem.
00:48:46Apparently, it is for her mother.
00:48:52Let me make it up to you.
00:48:58How are you going to do that?
00:49:06Let me show you.
00:49:22It's okay.
00:49:32You're like the neighbors.
00:49:52You know, I think more people should try co-workers with benefits.
00:50:02So you want to tell me what happened here?
00:50:10Not really.
00:50:14Sorry, I, um...
00:50:16I was just curious.
00:50:18Congenital heart defect.
00:50:20You don't want to hear about it.
00:50:22It's too much.
00:50:24Too much?
00:50:26This condition, these bills.
00:50:28This scar.
00:50:30My parents were incredible.
00:50:32They gave up everything for me.
00:50:34They drained their savings
00:50:36and what little life of wealth
00:50:38they built for themselves
00:50:40to try and make my life normal.
00:50:42Now they're gone.
00:50:44Car accident when I was a senior in high school.
00:50:46I begged them to have a night to themselves for once
00:50:48and then...
00:50:50Alex.
00:50:52Sorry, way too much information.
00:50:54Especially from a fuck buddy.
00:50:56You don't even know my sob story.
00:51:02You know that Malia's heart condition is congenital.
00:51:04I know.
00:51:06She told me.
00:51:08Yeah, well, she doesn't know everything.
00:51:12Look, I've never told anybody this.
00:51:14Malia was born with her defect
00:51:16because Camilla...
00:51:18She took diet pills during the pregnancy
00:51:20so she wouldn't gain weight
00:51:22or lose out on modeling gigs.
00:51:24I only found out before it was too late.
00:51:26Oh, my God.
00:51:28It's terrible.
00:51:30Truth is,
00:51:32she never really wanted to have a baby.
00:51:34I did.
00:51:36I was the one who wanted us to be happy.
00:51:38It turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket.
00:51:40I'm so sorry, Lincoln.
00:51:42The only reason she wants to get back together
00:51:44is for the money.
00:51:46Not for me,
00:51:48and certainly not for her daughter.
00:51:50You know, she's always been irresponsible,
00:51:52but this latest stunt,
00:51:54you know, a baby,
00:51:56I mean,
00:51:58I don't know what to do.
00:52:00I don't know what to do.
00:52:02I don't know what to do.
00:52:04I don't know what to do.
00:52:06But this latest stunt,
00:52:08abandoning her daughter like that,
00:52:10it's...
00:52:12Have you thought about pursuing sole custody?
00:52:14I want to, but
00:52:16it's too risky.
00:52:18The courts usually side with the mother.
00:52:20I can't risk losing my daughter.
00:52:22They don't always.
00:52:26Malia told me this wasn't the first time
00:52:28Camilla's done something like this.
00:52:30What did she say to you?
00:52:32Camilla leaves her with her friends
00:52:34on work trips.
00:52:36It's dangerous, and clearly her emotional needs
00:52:38aren't being met.
00:52:40I think you could have a case here.
00:52:42I don't know.
00:52:44I don't want to put her through that.
00:52:46I mean, making her testify against her own mother?
00:52:48I can't do that.
00:52:50I know you want what's best for Malia,
00:52:52and sharing her with Camilla
00:52:54isn't it.
00:52:56Maybe you should just give Camilla
00:52:58what she really wants,
00:53:00and if that's money, fine.
00:53:02But Malia deserves
00:53:04people in her life who care about her.
00:53:06You're right.
00:53:08Malia deserves better.
00:53:10I will talk to her
00:53:12this week.
00:53:26Seems like I owe you again.
00:53:28Greedy?
00:53:30I meant breakfast.
00:53:34You can cook?
00:53:36Yes, I can.
00:53:38For the right company.
00:53:48Ta-da!
00:53:58I should have known someone named Sugar
00:54:00would have such a sweet tooth.
00:54:04Shit, fuck, I'm sorry.
00:54:06I didn't mean to.
00:54:08It's okay. Really, it's
00:54:10actually kind of nice to have someone
00:54:12call me by my real name again.
00:54:14Thank you again
00:54:16for everything.
00:54:18I know this wasn't part of the job description,
00:54:20and I'm sure dealing with my ex
00:54:22wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you.
00:54:28Right.
00:54:30Not exactly.
00:54:36He told you all of that?
00:54:38What are you, a miracle worker? A saint?
00:54:40Hardly.
00:54:44Look, if I tell you something,
00:54:46you promise not to say anything to anyone?
00:54:50Cross my heart. I hope to die.
00:54:54Your dad is paying me
00:54:56to do this, to help Lakin.
00:55:00That's what a job is.
00:55:02You work for the company. You know that, right?
00:55:04You don't understand.
00:55:06Your dad offered to pay off my student loans
00:55:08and cover my medical bills for life
00:55:10if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant.
00:55:12He wanted me to keep him away from Camilla
00:55:14by any means necessary, he said.
00:55:18Now that Lakin and I are...
00:55:20Fucking like rabbits?
00:55:22Co-workers with benefits?
00:55:24I...
00:55:26It just, it seems wrong not to tell him.
00:55:28Why?
00:55:30Because you're helping him get his shit together
00:55:32and getting paid for it?
00:55:34Seems like a win-win to me.
00:55:36It won't feel like that if he finds out.
00:55:38He'll think I'm just using him.
00:55:40Well, maybe he doesn't have to find out.
00:55:42Chase, I can't keep lying to him.
00:55:44I think...
00:55:46I think I'm falling for him.
00:55:48So...
00:55:52So more than co-workers with benefits.
00:56:02Thanks for meeting me.
00:56:04I wanted to talk to you about...
00:56:06Your new girlfriend.
00:56:08What?
00:56:10I know all about your little sleepover.
00:56:12You know, I'd appreciate it
00:56:14if you told me before bringing another woman
00:56:16into your daughter's life.
00:56:18Especially that one.
00:56:20What do you mean by that one?
00:56:22Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her
00:56:24to go clubbing in LA.
00:56:26It was a work trip.
00:56:28Oh, really?
00:56:36She's already proven to be way better
00:56:38at taking care of Malia than you've ever been.
00:56:40Which is actually why I'm here.
00:56:42Enough is enough.
00:56:44I want sole custody.
00:56:46So this is it?
00:56:48You want to break up our family
00:56:50for that lying little...
00:56:52You don't want a family.
00:56:54You just want my money.
00:56:56I see right through you, Camilla.
00:56:58You think I want money?
00:57:00How much do you know about your little assistant?
00:57:02What do you mean?
00:57:06I hate...
00:57:08to be the one to tell you this,
00:57:10but...
00:57:12that girl is using you, Megan.
00:57:18I overheard
00:57:20Jason Herr laughing about it
00:57:22in the break room earlier today.
00:57:24What do you mean
00:57:26she's using me?
00:57:28The only reason why she's working for you
00:57:30is because your dad promised
00:57:32to pay her medical bills
00:57:34if she kept you away from me.
00:57:36No, she wouldn't do that.
00:57:38That's not who she is.
00:57:40If you don't believe me,
00:57:42just ask your dad.
00:57:52Is it true?
00:57:54Megan, what are you doing here?
00:57:56Did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?
00:58:02It was for your own good.
00:58:04Do not give me that father knows best routine.
00:58:06This is a complete betrayal of my trust.
00:58:08Your personal issues were affecting
00:58:10not only the business, but our family.
00:58:12That is absurd.
00:58:14This has nothing to do with the company.
00:58:16Your inability to cut Camilla from your life
00:58:18seriously calls into question your abilities
00:58:20as a leader.
00:58:22As does the way you've closed yourself off
00:58:24from any connection, romantic or...
00:58:26So what, I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?
00:58:28That is bullshit.
00:58:30My love life, your business.
00:58:32But the well-being of my granddaughter still is.
00:58:34I said, that's 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.
00:59:04What are you doing here?
00:59:08We need to talk.
00:59:10We are?
00:59:12You want to explain what you were doing with your ex
00:59:14looking like you're getting back together?
00:59:16Is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?
00:59:18Because you still love her?
00:59:20God, I was so fucking stupid.
00:59:22Were you ever going to tell me about your little deal with my dad?
00:59:26God, I'm so sorry.
00:59:28I'm so sorry.
00:59:30I'm so sorry.
00:59:32God, Alex.
00:59:34I trusted you.
00:59:36I told you things that I've told my family.
00:59:40And this whole time,
00:59:42you were just in it for the money.
00:59:44I...
00:59:46That was before anything happened between us.
00:59:48Lakin, I couldn't say no.
00:59:50That kind of money...
00:59:52You know my situation,
00:59:54but I never meant to hurt you.
00:59:56And fucking me, what?
00:59:58That was just a way to ensure job security?
01:00:00That's all I am to you?
01:00:02Just a transaction?
01:00:04Of course not.
01:00:06How dare you?
01:00:08Why should I believe you?
01:00:10You know, you're just like her.
01:00:14I am not like Camilla.
01:00:16Lakin, I care about you.
01:00:18You're fired.
01:00:20And this thing between us?
01:00:22That's over too.
01:00:30Let's go.
01:00:50Let's go.
01:01:00Let's go.
01:01:16Rocky Road, huh?
01:01:18I've got the perfect pairing.
01:01:22You gonna let me in or what?
01:01:24No.
01:01:28You are out of your mind.
01:01:30Showing up here is insane.
01:01:32Like you don't fucking love it?
01:01:34I don't.
01:01:36I've changed.
01:01:38I've heard that before.
01:01:40God, it turns me on when you act like you do.
01:01:42Alright, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.
01:01:44Have you left your house yet?
01:01:46Well, I'm gonna try and get my old job back,
01:01:48so I'll probably be out of the house
01:01:50five days a week.
01:01:52Girl, losing your job and getting dumped
01:01:54on the same day is a lot.
01:01:56You can take some time to mourn.
01:02:00I can't waste any more time on Lakin.
01:02:04I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.
01:02:18What's wrong with me?
01:02:22Nothing.
01:02:24Absolutely nothing.
01:02:30I'm sorry.
01:02:34I just...
01:02:38I think I want to be alone tonight.
01:02:44Hey.
01:02:46Text me, okay?
01:02:48Just because we don't work together
01:02:50doesn't mean we're friends.
01:02:52We will.
01:02:54I promise.
01:03:20I love you.
01:03:50Hey, um...
01:03:52I'd like to apply for a job.
01:03:54I used to work here.
01:03:58Hey, kid. Come on, man. Open up.
01:04:10You really need to give me a key.
01:04:14You want a drink?
01:04:16Yeah, where are your glasses?
01:04:18Second cabinet to the left.
01:04:28Heard you broke up with Alex.
01:04:32Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.
01:04:34We were just fucking, and now we're not.
01:04:38I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit?
01:04:42I don't.
01:04:44Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?
01:04:48Very dramatic, by the way.
01:04:50What do you care?
01:04:52She's all yours now.
01:04:54Her little deal with Dad is moot,
01:04:56and now you two can finally be together.
01:04:58Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.
01:05:04Yeah.
01:05:08You're always so wrapped up in your own shit,
01:05:10you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.
01:05:12I'm sorry.
01:05:14Really.
01:05:18I can't believe I didn't...
01:05:22Are you good?
01:05:28I'm good.
01:05:42Oh.
01:05:46Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.
01:05:50But you're always flirting with her, Alex.
01:05:52I was trying to light a fire under your ass.
01:05:56She's a good person, Lakin.
01:05:58She cares about you.
01:06:00A lot.
01:06:02She hated the deal.
01:06:04She hated lying to you.
01:06:06She knew you wouldn't trust her.
01:06:12And why should I?
01:06:14Because not everyone's Camilla.
01:06:20Look, it's not too late to make it right.
01:06:26Call her.
01:06:42I love you.
01:06:44I love you.
01:06:46I love you.
01:06:48I love you.
01:06:50I love you.
01:06:52I love you.
01:06:54I love you.
01:06:56I love you.
01:06:58I love you.
01:07:00I love you.
01:07:02I love you.
01:07:04I love you.
01:07:06I love you.
01:07:08I love you.
01:07:10I love you.
01:07:36Fuck him.
01:07:40So.
01:07:42That's $250,000 a year.
01:07:44Every year.
01:07:46Until Malia's 18th birthday.
01:07:48So...
01:07:50Nine more years, then.
01:07:52Eight.
01:07:54You don't even know how old your daughter is?
01:08:10Pleasure doing business with you.
01:08:16You don't want to say goodbye?
01:08:18She's upstairs waiting.
01:08:20I can't.
01:08:22I have a flight to Miami in an hour.
01:08:24Give her a kiss from me, will you?
01:08:36Good fuck.
01:08:38Good fucking riddance.
01:08:40I'm proud of you, son.
01:08:42It only took me a decade
01:08:44to cut her out of my life for good.
01:08:46I am going to speak to the board in the morning.
01:08:48All right?
01:08:50If you gentlemen will excuse me.
01:08:54I have a granddaughter to comfort.
01:09:00Congrats, bro.
01:09:02Let's celebrate.
01:09:08Come on.
01:09:10We should be celebrating.
01:09:12Ding-dong.
01:09:14The witch agreed to settle.
01:09:16Yeah.
01:09:18And now Malia has to live the rest of her life
01:09:20knowing that her mother didn't care enough
01:09:22about her to fight for custody.
01:09:24On the positive side,
01:09:26Malia's all yours now.
01:09:28You're going to be CEO in a month.
01:09:30What else could you want?
01:09:32Maybe a certain job.
01:09:34Maybe a job.
01:09:36Maybe a certain little assistant
01:09:38that'll help you get custody.
01:09:40She blocked my number.
01:09:42And no, I'm not going to show up
01:09:44to her doorstep on my knees
01:09:46begging for her to take me back.
01:09:48That would make me look insane.
01:09:50Well...
01:09:52insane or...
01:09:54romantic?
01:09:56She doesn't want to speak to me.
01:09:58And I don't blame her.
01:10:00Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back,
01:10:02but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.
01:10:06She's working here again?
01:10:10Is that why you brought me here?
01:10:12Go get her.
01:10:26Hi.
01:10:28Ready to order?
01:10:30I'll come back in a few more minutes.
01:10:37Alex.
01:10:39Lakin?
01:10:41Uh...
01:10:43What are you doing here?
01:10:45Uh, Jace brought me.
01:10:47To celebrate.
01:10:49I won full custody.
01:10:51Congratulations.
01:10:53Yeah, I, um...
01:10:55I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:57Uh...
01:10:59Alex, I, um...
01:11:01I want to apologize.
01:11:03I made a huge mistake.
01:11:05Alex, thank you.
01:11:07I actually need to take my break right now.
01:11:13Oh, shit.
01:11:19You okay?
01:11:23Whoa!
01:11:25Someone call 911!
01:11:27Help!
01:11:29It's okay.
01:11:35It's okay.
01:11:47Any update?
01:11:53There's only so much that they'll tell me right now,
01:11:55but the doctor said that she's in critical condition,
01:12:00they're gonna operate tomorrow,
01:12:03and 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.
01:12:16And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either.
01:12:19I should have just left her alone.
01:12:21It's not your fault, Lakin.
01:12:23And now Alex could...
01:12:25She could...
01:12:27Hey, stop. Don't talk like that.
01:12:33I'm sorry.
01:12:50Lakin?
01:12:53Oh, my God, Alex, you're awake.
01:12:55Jesus Christ.
01:12:57I was so worried, I thought...
01:13:00I thought that I might have lost you.
01:13:04Thank you. I'm fine.
01:13:08You should leave.
01:13:10What? What are you talking about?
01:13:12Lakin, why are you here?
01:13:14I'm here because I care about you, because...
01:13:16Because you feel guilty.
01:13:19This is what you do.
01:13:21You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.
01:13:24No, it's not like that.
01:13:26I don't want to be your charity case, Lakin.
01:13:29I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.
01:13:34You are not a burden.
01:13:36I don't think that.
01:13:38I'd like you to go.
01:13:58Good night.
01:14:22Morning, sleepyhead.
01:14:29It's good to see you awake.
01:14:31You had me worried there for a minute.
01:14:37I got you something.
01:14:52This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.
01:14:55Where did all the flowers come from?
01:14:58It was Dad.
01:15:00You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode,
01:15:03so he's been helping out with Malia while Lakin watches over you here.
01:15:06Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.
01:15:09Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.
01:15:12He shouldn't have.
01:15:14You made a deal, Alex.
01:15:16Dad was good for it. It's done.
01:15:20I don't deserve it.
01:15:22What are you talking about?
01:15:24Look at me, Jace. I'm literally fucking scarred. Why should I...
01:15:27Hey, hey, Alex.
01:15:30You deserve love.
01:15:34It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.
01:15:53Jesus.
01:15:55Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
01:15:57Fuck.
01:15:58I'm sorry, I just...
01:16:00I thought you might need some help.
01:16:02Doctor said no unnecessary stress.
01:16:05Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.
01:16:11I'm sorry.
01:16:13I didn't mean to scare you.
01:16:15Fuck.
01:16:16I'm sorry, I just...
01:16:18I thought you might need some help.
01:16:21Sorry.
01:16:23Thank you, but I've got it from here.
01:16:25Alex, you're recovering from surgery.
01:16:28Let me at least help you to the side.
01:16:50I'm sorry.
01:16:56Malia asks about you all the time, you know.
01:16:59She misses you.
01:17:01Everyone misses you.
01:17:03My dad, Jace...
01:17:08and me.
01:17:12It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.
01:17:16I can see that now.
01:17:18I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.
01:17:21And I've just been hurt so many times.
01:17:24It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.
01:17:32What you told me about your parents...
01:17:34and how they sacrificed everything for you...
01:17:37do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?
01:17:41They lost everything they had because of me.
01:17:44Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again...
01:17:47they would do it exactly the same?
01:17:50That's not sacrifice.
01:17:53That's love.
01:17:55I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:17:58About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.
01:18:02I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.
01:18:07But what you've taught me...
01:18:09what your parents have taught me...
01:18:12is that...
01:18:14supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.
01:18:20It is simply because you love them.
01:18:26Miss Livingston...
01:18:28you are the most selfless...
01:18:31independent...
01:18:33strong...
01:18:35and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.
01:18:40I can't stop.
01:18:41It's true.
01:18:44And since you clearly don't believe me...
01:18:48I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.
01:18:51Prove it? How?
01:19:01Is that...
01:19:02Scars.
01:19:04Just like yours.
01:19:08Are those tattoos?
01:19:10I wanted it to be permanent.
01:19:15I love you, Alex.
01:19:17I love every single perfect inch of you.
01:19:25Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?
01:19:29Please.
01:19:34I love you too.
01:19:44I love you too.
01:20:02What are you doing next week?
01:20:04I want to take you to a party.
01:20:08Another gala?
01:20:10Something like that.
01:20:12And you know the guest department very well.
01:20:15Who is it?
01:20:17You'll see.
01:20:24Happy birthday dear Malia.
01:20:30Happy birthday to you.
01:20:42What'd you wish for?
01:20:44You, mommy.
01:20:48One step at a time, sweetheart.
01:20:53I got you something.
01:20:55It might not be the biggest present you get, but...
01:20:58I think you'll like it.
01:21:00I have one too.
01:21:04Just like you.
01:21:12I love you.
01:21:14I love you too.
01:21:42Don't hold back.
