00:09:09you're gonna need that

00:09:12coming

00:09:16we're still evaluating the chicago hub closure

00:09:19it's costing us labor shortages at key distribution centers are already slowing down

00:09:26operation times and shifting our operations to detroit might create bottlenecks we just can't afford

00:09:32right now so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate

00:09:37i need solutions faster not more excuses people

00:09:41we're exploring alternatives nothing definitive yet

00:09:44um sorry to interrupt

00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between detroit and cleveland and using your

00:09:57existing rail contracts to offset the overflow

00:10:02so what you're you're now an expert in freight logistics

00:10:05uh no but i was looking over last quarter's regional expense report while it could be off but

00:10:12cleveland's underutilized and you're already paying for the rail infrastructure

00:10:17it wouldn't solve all of your problems but it could keep the detroit bottleneck from shutting

00:10:21you down entirely actually that could work worth a shot i mean obviously my team would need to

00:10:28take a look at it and sort out the details is there anything else i should know about my business

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

00:22:55Picked it out just for you.

00:22:56It's perfect.

00:22:57May I have this dance, my lady?

00:23:13For you.

00:23:18Hey, bro. Is that for me?

00:23:20Get your own drink, bro.

00:23:22And maybe your own date while you're at it.

00:23:26Dane?

00:23:27I knew it.

00:23:28Uh, my guest. You know what I mean.

00:23:30Yeah, sure. I know what you mean.

00:23:32I'll take that. I'll leave you guys to it.

00:23:43It's just a dance. Do not be weird about this.

00:23:49Oh, I'm being weird?

00:23:51Everyone else is dancing. It would look strange if we didn't.

00:23:55And besides, it's not like we're attracted to each other, right?

00:24:01Right.

00:24:13So, something going on between you and my brother?

00:24:19Jase? Of 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 looking out for my assistant.

00:24:37Well, I doubt he's interested. He's, you know...

00:24:40He's what?

00:24:44You don't know?

00:24:48Never mind.

00:24:50So, you guys aren't that close then?

00:24:52Well, excuse me if I don't have time to listen to my brother's sexual exploits.

00:24:57If you hadn't noticed, I'm somewhat busy running the largest shipping company in America.

00:25:02It's important to make time for family, Lakin.

00:25:05That's none of your concern.

00:25:06Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.

00:25:12It's unprofessional.

00:25:16What? This?

00:25:18This is just two co-workers dancing.

00:25:21Right. A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.

00:25:27It's completely innocent.

00:25:29You're rarely touching.

00:25:31You're rarely touching.

00:25:37Lakin.

00:25:40Dad.

00:25:42Well, some of our board members are already here.

00:25:45I need you to make your rounds.

00:25:47Miss Livingston?

00:25:49Shall we?

00:25:50Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.

00:26:01Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lakin.

00:26:06Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.

00:26:08Oh, yes. Detroit and Cleveland. Nice work.

00:26:11Yes, and we're also improving transit times. I'll actually be in New York next week.

00:26:17Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.

00:26:33I like it.

00:26:35What are you doing here?

00:26:36I just thought I'd stop by.

00:26:38I thought you could use the moral support.

00:26:40Where's Malia?

00:26:42I got a babysitter.

00:26:44I think everyone knows Camilla, Malia's mother.

00:26:50Who's this?

00:26:52Uh, no one.

00:26:54Just, uh, my assistant.

00:26:56Alex.

00:26:58Nice to meet you, Alice.

00:26:59As I was saying, the transit times in New York.

00:27:04Oh, come on, Lakin.

00:27:06Don't be a bore. It's a party.

00:27:08No one wants to talk about business.

00:27:10Am I right?

00:27:12Let's dance.

00:27:14Maybe later. These gentlemen are on the board.

00:27:17You don't mind if I steal them, do you?

00:27:18What are you doing? Are you drunk? The whole office is here.

00:27:32We never have any time together.

00:27:34And there's a reason for that, Camilla. We're not together anymore.

00:27:37You made that perfectly clear when you fucked my best friend.

00:27:39Oh, come on, Lakin.

00:27:42I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.

00:27:44I just...

00:27:46I miss you.

00:27:48And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.

00:27:52I was hoping you'd dance with me.

00:27:55For old time's sake.

00:27:59One dance.

00:28:00One dance.

00:28:17Excuse me, gentlemen.

00:28:21Doesn't this feel nice?

00:28:24I know you miss this.

00:28:30This is a work event, Camilla.

00:28:33Well, actually again, so tense.

00:28:36I 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?

00:28:47Have you given any more thought to the conversation we had the other day?

00:28:51Malia's getting older.

00:28:54It's only getting harder to take care of her, especially with her situation.

00:28:57We should be a family.

00:29:00We tried.

00:29:02And failed miserably.

00:29:04I can't be with you, Camilla.

00:29:06Are you sure about that?

00:29:09Camilla, don't.

00:29:11Kiss me.

00:29:12If you don't feel anything, I'll leave you alone.

00:29:19Stop.

00:29:20Jesus.

00:29:24Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that.

00:29:25Lincoln, are you listening to me?

00:29:30Look at me.

00:29:32You don't want me to make a scene, do you?

00:29:35Because you know I will.

00:29:38Let me make something very clear to you.

00:29:41We are never getting back together, Camilla.

00:29:44You hear me?

00:29:45Ever.

00:29:46Now, you need to go.

00:29:48But...

00:29:49I'm not having any fun.

00:29:50I'm not having any fun.

00:29:51Yeah.

00:29:52I'm not having any fun.

00:29:54Let's see if we can change that.

00:30:11I'm not having any fun.

00:30:20Let'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.

00:30:38It's the last call, right?

00:30:41I go up to the bar looking for this guy.

00:30:43Aggie's dragging him to the bathroom.

00:30:45Oh, my God! Stop!

00:30:49Something funny?

00:30:54Time to go.

00:31:07Arturo.

00:31:09Take Miss Livingston home.

00:31:10You're being incredibly rude. You know that?

00:31:12You're getting wasted at a company party.

00:31:15It's totally inappropriate.

00:31:17Don't you inappropriate me.

00:31:19Your girlfriend was treating you like a stripper pole.

00:31:20You made out in front of everyone.

00:31:22Okay, first 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?

00:31:35Charm your way up the corporate ladder?

00:31:37CEO this week, chairman the next.

00:31:40Meanwhile, you're wasted hanging all over Jace.

00:31:42What 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.

00:31:51I 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.

00:32:31Now get the hell over here.

00:32:39Is that a scar?

00:32:42It's odd.

00:32:45Fuck me.

00:32:47Fuck me.

00:32:49Leave us that sun off away.

00:32:50Tonight that we both got up.

00:32:53I wanna be with you.

00:32:54I wanna be with you.

00:32:56We can't let this slip away.

00:32:59You know, I won't give a sting.

00:33:01Cause I wanna be with you.

00:33:03I wanna be with you.

00:33:05I run away.

00:33:06We can't let this go too late.

00:33:08Cause I don't wanna know what it all goes.

00:33:12Don't let this go too late.

00:33:15It sucks.

00:33:16I'm gonna be with you.

00:33:16I wanna be with you.

00:33:18I wanna be with you.

00:33:19I wanna be with you.

00:33:20You, uh, want to come inside?

00:33:48Uh, no.

00:33:50Right, no, of course not.

00:33:58Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday.

00:34:02Good morning.

00:34:20Good morning.

00:34:22Good morning.

00:34:23I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.

00:34:35No.

00:34:36It's not your fault.

00:34:37Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?

00:34:39Me.

00:34:40Dad.

00:34:41I've seen how he is with Malia, and...

00:34:43She's a soft spot.

00:34:46Laken's got some serious trust issues.

00:34:49He needs therapy about it.

00:34:51Camila really messed him up.

00:34:54Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?

00:34:57That 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, and when he finally did, oh, surprise, surprise,

00:35:07guess who's suddenly pregnant?

00:35:09What?

00:35:10Jesus.

00:35:11Yeah.

00:35:12Maybe it's just us to pretend like this never happened.

00:35:15It sounds like he's been through a lot.

00:35:22Look, I gotta run to a meeting.

00:35:25How about you come over for dinner tonight?

00:35:27Seven?

00:35:28I'll text you the details.

00:35:30Yeah.

00:35:31I'm down.

00:35:32Great.

00:35:39I can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.

00:35:55Dad insisted.

00:35:57Something about never getting to see Malia these days.

00:36:00I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.

00:36:03You know, like normal business partners and not...

00:36:05Family members.

00:36:07Exactly.

00:36:12Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?

00:36:19Grandpa, I told you it's me.

00:36:21You?

00:36:22Ah, you're too tall.

00:36:24No, my Malia, last time I saw her, she was just about my knee high.

00:36:28Ain't anybody seen my granddaughter?

00:36:30Hmm.

00:36:31Cause this little woman is an imposter.

00:36:33Hehehe.

00:36:36Are we expecting company?

00:36:48Tell him to send an extra plate.

00:36:55Alex?

00:36:56Lincoln?

00:36:57You made it.

00:36:58I didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.

00:37:11Me neither.

00:37:12Okay.

00:37:13It's okay.

00:37:14I don't like asparagus either.

00:37:16My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.

00:37:17He's right.

00:37:18It is.

00:37:19It is.

00:37:20Look on the bright side.

00:37:21Look on the bright side.

00:37:22At least it's not pressing.

00:37:23It's okay.

00:37:24It's okay.

00:37:25I don't like asparagus either.

00:37:26My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.

00:37:42He's right.

00:37:43It is.

00:37:44Look on the bright side.

00:37:45At least it's not Brussels sprouts, am I right?

00:37:58That was delicious.

00:37:59Alright.

00:38:00Miss Livingston.

00:38:01A word.

00:38:02Uh, Mr. Blainford.

00:38:03About the other night, I know that you're going to be a good one.

00:38:07I know the gala was a mess with Camilla.

00:38:20Alex, I've seen a change in my son.

00:38:24Really?

00:38:25It's the first time I've seen him smile in years.

00:38:28Keep doing what you're doing.

00:38:31You planned this, didn't you?

00:38:33I just thought I'd give you and Lakin some time alone.

00:38:36Thank you, Jace.

00:38:38You're very welcome.

00:38:39Jace, don't.

00:38:40Bye.

00:45:44What do you mean?

00:45:51It's from surgery.

00:45:53I was born with a heart defect.

00:45:55Just like you.

00:45:57Really?

00:45:59I didn't know anyone was like me.

00:46:47I know you, so.

00:46:51It's okay.

00:46:53It's okay.

00:46:55It's okay.

00:46:59Daddy, shh, it's okay, sweetie, I'm right here, go back to sleep, oh, stay, I can sleep

00:47:19on the couch, no, you stay too, it's all right with me,

00:47:29I can sleep on the couch, no, you stay, I can sleep on the couch, no, you stay, I can sleep

00:47:59where do you think you're going, to find Malia, I already had the driver pick her up and take

00:48:09her to school, we're all alone, what about work, time off for good behavior,

00:48:21thank you again for taking care of her,

00:48:35it wasn't a problem,

00:48:39apparently, it is for her mother,

00:48:47let me make it up to you,

00:48:51how are you going to do that,

00:48:56let me show you,

00:49:04you're like the neighbors,

00:49:29you know, I think more people should try co-workers with benefits,

00:49:54so you want to tell me what happened here,

00:50:01not really,

00:50:08sorry, I, um, I was just curious,

00:50:15congenital heart defect,

00:50:19you don't want to hear about it, it's too much,

00:50:21too much,

00:50:23this condition, these bills,

00:50:26this scar,

00:50:27my parents were incredible,

00:50:30they gave up everything for me,

00:50:32they drained their savings in what little life of wealth they built for themselves to try

00:50:36and make my life normal,

00:50:39and now they're gone,

00:50:39car accident when I was a senior in high school,

00:50:45I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then,

00:50:50Alex,

00:50:51sorry, way too much information,

00:50:53especially from a fuck buddy,

00:50:55you don't need to know my sob story,

00:50:57you know that Malia's heart condition is congenital,

00:51:03I know,

00:51:04she told me,

00:51:06yeah, well,

00:51:06she doesn't know everything,

00:51:08look,

00:51:11I've never told anybody this,

00:51:12but,

00:51:14Malia was born with her defect,

00:51:16because Camilla,

00:51:17she took diet pills during the pregnancy,

00:51:21so she wouldn't gain weight,

00:51:23or lose out on modeling gigs,

00:51:25I only found out before it was too late,

00:51:28oh my god,

00:51:30it's terrible,

00:51:32truth is,

00:51:34she never really wanted to have a baby,

00:51:36I did,

00:51:38I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family,

00:51:42turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket,

00:51:45I'm so sorry,

00:51:48Lincoln,

00:51:48and the only reason she wants to get back together,

00:51:53is for the money,

00:51:55not for me,

00:51:56and certainly not for her daughter,

00:51:58she's always been irresponsible,

00:52:01but this latest stunt,

00:52:04abandoning her daughter like that,

00:52:05it's,

00:52:06have you thought about pursuing sole custody,

00:52:10I want to,

00:52:11but,

00:52:11it's too risky,

00:52:13I mean,

00:52:13the courts usually side with the mother,

00:52:15I can't risk losing my daughter,

00:52:16they don't always,

00:52:19Malia told me this wasn't the first time,

00:52:23Camilla's done something like this,

00:52:25what did she say to you,

00:52:26Camilla leaves her with her friends,

00:52:29when she goes on work trips,

00:52:30it's dangerous,

00:52:31and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met,

00:52:34I think you could have a case here,

00:52:37I don't know,

00:52:38I don't want to put her through that,

00:52:40I mean,

00:52:41making her testify against her own mother,

00:52:43I can't do that,

00:52:45I know you want what's best for Malia,

00:52:48and sharing her with Camilla isn't it,

00:52:52maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants,

00:52:55and if that's money,

00:52:56fine,

00:52:57you have it,

00:52:59Malia deserves people in her life,

00:53:01who care about her,

00:53:02you're right,

00:53:04Malia deserves better,

00:53:06I will talk to her this week,

00:53:09thank you,

00:53:18it seems like I owe you again,

00:53:23greedy,

00:53:28I meant breakfast,

00:53:30you can cook,

00:53:32yes,

00:53:34I can,

00:53:35for the right company,

00:53:36for the right company,

00:53:37I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth,

00:53:57shit,

00:54:00fuck,

00:54:01I'm sorry,

00:54:01I didn't mean to,

00:54:03it's okay,

00:54:04really,

00:54:05it's actually kind of nice,

00:54:07to have someone call me by my real name again,

00:54:09thank you again,

00:54:12for everything,

00:54:13I know this wasn't part of the job description,

00:54:16and I'm sure dealing with my ex,

00:54:18wasn't what you had in mind,

00:54:19when my dad hired you,

00:54:20great,

00:54:24not exactly,

00:54:27he told you all of that,

00:54:33what are you,

00:54:34a miracle worker,

00:54:35a saint,

00:54:36hardly,

00:54:37hardly,

00:54:37look,

00:54:40if I tell you something,

00:54:42you promise not to say anything to anyone,

00:54:46cross my inner hope to die,

00:54:47your dad is paying me to do this,

00:54:53to help Lakin,

00:54:54that's what a job is,

00:54:57you work for the company,

00:54:58you know that right,

00:54:59you don't understand,

00:55:01your dad offered to pay off my student loans,

00:55:03and cover my medical bills for life,

00:55:05if I stuck it out as Lakin's assistant,

00:55:08he wanted me to keep him away from Camilla,

00:55:10by any means necessary,

00:55:12he said,

00:55:14now that Lakin and I are,

00:55:15fucking like rabbits,

00:55:17co-workers with benefits,

00:55:19excuse me,

00:55:21it just,

00:55:22it seems wrong not to tell him,

00:55:25why,

00:55:25because you're helping him get his shit together,

00:55:27and getting paid for it,

00:55:28seems like a win-win to me,

00:55:30it won't feel like that if he finds out,

00:55:32he'll think I'm just using him,

00:55:34well,

00:55:34maybe he doesn't have to find out,

00:55:37Chase,

00:55:37I can't keep lying to him,

00:55:39I think,

00:55:41I think I'm falling for him,

00:55:43so more than co-workers with benefits,

00:55:49thanks for meeting me,

00:56:00I wanted to talk to you about,

00:56:02your new girlfriend,

00:56:04what,

00:56:05I know all about your little sleepover,

00:56:08you know,

00:56:09I'd appreciate it if you told me,

00:56:10before bringing another woman,

00:56:12into our daughter's life,

00:56:13especially that one,

00:56:15what do you mean by that one,

00:56:18Alex actually stepped up,

00:56:19when you abandoned her,

00:56:20to go clubbing in LA,

00:56:21it was a work trip,

00:56:22oh really,

00:56:25she's already proven to be,

00:56:34way better at taking care of Malia,

00:56:35than you've ever been,

00:56:36which is actually why I'm here,

00:56:39enough is enough,

00:56:41I want sole custody,

00:56:42so this is it,

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

00:56:48for that lying little,

00:56:49you don't want a family,

00:56:50you just want my money,

00:56:52I see right through you Camilla,

00:56:53you think I want money,

00:56:55how much do you know,

00:56:57about your little assistant,

00:56:58what do you mean,

00:57:01I hate,

00:57:04to be the one,

00:57:05to tell you this,

00:57:06that girl is using you,

00:57:10Lakin,

00:57:11I overheard,

00:57:16Jason Herr laughing about it,

00:57:17in the break room earlier today,

00:57:19what do you mean,

00:57:22she's using me,

00:57:23the only reason,

00:57:25why she's working for you,

00:57:27is because your dad,

00:57:28promised to pay her medical bills,

00:57:29if she kept you away from me,

00:57:30no she wouldn't do that,

00:57:34that's not who she is,

00:57:35if you don't believe me,

00:57:38just ask your dad,

00:57:39is it true,

00:57:49Lakin,

00:57:51what are you doing here,

00:57:52did you hire Alex,

00:57:53in order to keep tabs on me,

01:02:57I promise,

01:03:27Hey, um, I'd like to apply for a job.

01:03:52I used to work here.

01:03:54Hey, kid, come on, man, open up.

01:03:57You really need to give me a key.

01:04:09You want a drink?

01:04:10Yeah, where are your glasses?

01:04:12Second cabinet to the left.

01:04:22Heard you broke up with Alex.

01:04:23You can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.

01:04:28We were just fucking, and now we're not.

01:04:32I'm supposed to believe you don't give a shit.

01:04:36I don't.

01:04:38Is that why you're drowning your sorrows in whiskey?

01:04:41Very dramatic, by the way.

01:04:44What do you care?

01:04:45She's all yours now.

01:04:47Her little deal with dad is mute, and now you two can finally be together.

01:04:50Jesus Christ, Lakin, I'm gay.

01:04:56Yeah.

01:04:59You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about

01:05:02his own life.

01:05:02I'm sorry.

01:05:11Really.

01:05:13I can't believe I didn't...

01:05:18Are 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, Lakin.

01:05:50She cares about you.

01:05:51A lot.

01:05:52She hated the deal.

01:05:56She hated lying to you.

01:05:58She knew you wouldn't trust her.

01:06:02And 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.

01:06:17He's a bad person.

01:06:18Okay.

01:06:38A 해요.

01:06:38I don't know.

01:07:08I don't know.

01:07:15Fuck him.

01:07:33So, that's $250,000 a year.

01:07:37Until Malia's 18th birthday.

01:07:39So, in nine more years then?

01:07:42Eight.

01:07:43You don't even know how old your daughter is?

01:07:46Okay.

01:07:47I don't know how old your daughter is.

01:07:49I don't know how old your daughter is.

01:07:51I don't know.

01:08:00It's been a pleasure doing business with you.

01:08:04Pleasure 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.

01:08:33I'm proud of you, son.

01:08:34It 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?

01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me,

01:08:45I have a granddaughter to comfort.

01:08:53Congrats, bro.

01:08:55Let's celebrate.

01:08:56Let's celebrate.

01:09:04Come on.

01:09:07We should be celebrating.

01:09:09Ding dong.

01:09:10The witch agreed to settle.

01:09:11And now Malia has to live the rest of her life, knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.

01:09:20On the positive side, Malia's all yours now.

01:09:23You're going to be CEO in a month.

01:09:25What else could you want?

01:09:28Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody.

01:09:31She blocked my number.

01:09:34And no, I'm not going to show up to her doorstep on my knees begging for her to take me back.

01:09:39It would make me look insane.

01:09:41Well, insane or romantic.

01:09:45She doesn't want to speak to me.

01:09:49And I don't blame her.

01:09:51Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.

01:09:58She's working here again?

01:10:02Is that why you brought me here?

01:10:03Go get her.

01:10:15Hi.

01:10:20Ready to order?

01:10:21I'll come back in a few more minutes.

01:10:30Alex.

01:10:32Lincoln?

01:10:34What are you doing here?

01:10:37Jace brought me.

01:10:38To celebrate.

01:10:41I want full custody.

01:10:44Congratulations.

01:10:44Yeah, I, um, I couldn't have done it without you.

01:10:50Uh.

01:10:50Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.

01:10:54I made a huge mistake.

01:10:56Thanks.

01:14:01Good morning, sleepyhead.

01:14:21It's good to see you awake.

01:14:23You had me worried there for a minute.

01:14:29I got you something.

01:14:31This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.

01:14:46Where did all the flowers come from?

01:14:51It was Dad.

01:14:53You feel horrible he wasn't here after your episode,

01:14:57so he's been helping out with Malia while Aiken watches over you here.

01:15:00Dad paid for everything your insurance didn't cover.

01:15:03Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.

01:15:06He shouldn't have.

01:15:08You made a deal, Alex.

01:15:10Dad was good for it.

01:15:12It's done.

01:15:14I don't deserve it.

01:15:16What are you talking about?

01:15:18Look at me, Jace.

01:15:20I'm literally fucking scarred.

01:15:22Why should I-

01:15:23Hey, Alex.

01:15:24You deserve love.

01:15:26You deserve love.

01:15:29It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.

01:15:31I didn't realize that.

01:15:32I didn't realize that.

01:15:38I don't deserve that.

01:15:39I don't think I was by the way.

01:15:40I don't think I was by the way.

01:15:41Jace.

01:15:42Jesus.

01:15:57Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

01:15:59Fuck.

01:16:00I'm sorry, I just...

01:16:02I thought you might need some help.

01:16:05Doctor said no unnecessary stress.

01:16:07Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.

01:16:12I'm sorry.

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.

01:16:42Malia asks about you all the time, you know.

01:16:50She misses you.

01:16:52Everyone misses you.

01:16:54My dad, Jace,

01:16:57and me.

01:17:00It was wrong of 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.

01:17:12And I've just been hurt so many times.

01:17:15It's hard to comprehend that a woman could see me as anything other than a blank check.

01:17:19What you told me about your parents

01:17:25and how they sacrificed everything for you,

01:17:28do you really think that what they did for you makes you a burden?

01:17:32They lost everything they had because of me.

01:17:35Yeah, but Alex, don't you think that

01:17:36if they were given the chance to do it all over again,

01:17:39they would do it exactly the same?

01:17:41That's not sacrifice.

01:17:44That's love.

01:17:45I've been thinking about it a lot.

01:17:49About what it means to give

01:17:51without expecting anything in return.

01:17:54I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.

01:17:58But what you've taught me,

01:18:01what your parents have taught me,

01:18:03is that

01:18:04supporting someone

01:18:07is not about an obligation

01:18:08or to force an outcome.

01:18:12It is simply because

01:18:13you love them.

01:18:17Miss Livingston,

01:18:19you are the most

01:18:21selfless,

01:18:23independent,

01:18:25strong,

01:18:26and beautiful woman

01:18:27that 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,

01:18:39I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.

01:18:41prove it?

01:18:43How?

01:18:52Is that...

01:18:54Scars.

01:18:56Just like yours.

01:18:59Are those tattoos?

01:19:00I wanted it to be permanent.

01:19:06I love you, Alex.

01:19:08I love every single perfect inch of you.

01:19:16Will you please forgive me

01:19:18for being such an idiot?

01:19:21Please.
