00:08:59name calling i've said worse your secret safe with me alex get in here we need to roll some calls to

00:09:07south korea you're gonna need that coming

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 operation times and

00:09:28shifting our operations to detroit might create bottlenecks we we just can't afford right now

00:09:33so what we're just going to bleed cash while you evaluate i need solutions faster not more excuses people

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

00:09:48um sorry to interrupt

00:09:53but have you considered splitting freight between

00:09:55detroit and cleveland and using your existing 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 i 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 you down

00:10:21entirely actually that could work worth the shot i mean obviously my team would need to take a look at

00:10:29it and sort out the details is there anything else i should know about my business not yet

00:11:09with the board so you want to fire her for being too good at her job like a good leader isn't threatened

00:11:16by his employees threatened i am not threatened by her but she makes it look like i've lost control

00:21:41And you lied to me

00:21:46Your name's not Alexandra, is it?

00:21:51I thought only HR saw that

00:21:55Oh, don't be embarrassed, sugar

00:21:58I think that's a very sweet name

00:21:59I'm not embarrassed

00:22:00It's just...

00:22:02Private

00:22:06My parents were the only ones who called me that

00:22:11I see

00:22:14I apologize

00:22:15I didn't know

00:22:17I didn't mean to upset you

00:22:45Look, that's you

00:22:46You look stunning

00:22:49Let's see the dress

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

00:22:55Picked it out just for you

00:22:56It's perfect

00:22:57Let me have this dance, my lady

00:22:58Okay

00:23:19Hey bro

00:23:20Is that for me?

00:23:21Get your own drink, bro

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

00:23:24Dane?

00:23:28I knew it.

00:23:29Uh, my guest.

00:23:30You know what I mean.

00:23:31Yeah, sure, I know what you mean.

00:23:32I'll take that.

00:23:33I'll leave you guys to it.

00:23:46It's just a dance.

00:23:48Do not be weird about this.

00:23:50Oh, I'm being weird?

00:23:51Everyone else is dancing.

00:23:53It would look strange if we didn't.

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

00:24:02Right.

00:24:14So, something going on between you and my brother?

00:24:20Chase?

00:24:21Of course not.

00:24:21That was nothing.

00:24:23It didn't look like nothing.

00:24:26If I didn't know any better, I'd say you sound jealous.

00:24:30Don't be ridiculous.

00:24:32I'm just looking out for my assistant.

00:24:35Well, I doubt he's interested.

00:24:39He's, you know.

00:24:42He's what?

00:24:45You don't know?

00:24:48Never mind.

00:24:49So, 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.

00:24:56If you hadn't noticed, if 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, Lincoln.

00:25:04I don't know.

00:25:05I don't know.

00:25:06That's none of your concern.

00:25:08Just focus on steering clear of an office romance, Miss Livingston.

00:25:12It's unprofessional.

00:25:16What?

00:25:17This?

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

00:25:22Right.

00:25:23A totally normal boss slash assistant slow dance.

00:25:28It's completely innocent.

00:25:30Hmm.

00:25:31We're barely touching.

00:25:37Lincoln.

00:25:40Dad.

00:25:41Well, some of our board members are already here.

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

00:25:48Miss Livingston?

00:25:50Shall we?

00:25:56Well, Mr. Harris was just saying that he was very impressed with your recent progress.

00:26:02Wonderful to see that you're finally settling in, Lincoln.

00:26:08Miss Livingston has been a welcomed addition.

00:26:11Oh, yes.

00:26:12Detroit and Cleveland.

00:26:14Nice work.

00:26:15Yes, and we're also improving transit times.

00:26:18I'll actually be in New York next week.

00:26:30Team there and finalizing everything, making sure everything's running smoothly.

00:26:34Hey, Lincoln.

00:26:35What are you doing here?

00:26:37I just thought I'd stop by.

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

00:26:39Where's Malia?

00:26:42I got a babysitter.

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

00:26:51Who's this?

00:26:52No one.

00:26:54Just my assistant.

00:26:57Alex.

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

00:27:00As I was saying, the transit times in New York.

00:27:04Come on, Lincoln.

00:27:06Don't be a poor.

00:27:07It's a party.

00:27:09No one wants to talk about business.

00:27:10Am I right?

00:27:12Let's dance.

00:27:13Maybe later.

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

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

00:27:19What are you doing?

00:27:29Are you drunk?

00:27:30The whole office is here.

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

00:27:33And there's a reason for that, Camilla.

00:27:35We're not together anymore.

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

00:27:40Oh, come on, Lincoln.

00:27:41I'm sorry if I embarrass you.

00:27:44I just...

00:27:46I miss you.

00:27:49And I was thinking about how we used to come to these things together.

00:27:53I was hoping you'd dance with me.

00:27:56For old time's sake.

00:28:00One dance.

00:28:11Excuse me, gentlemen.

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

00:28:24I know you miss this.

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

00:28:33Flax bacon.

00:28:34So 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?

00:28:52Malia's getting older.

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

00:28:59We should be a family.

00:29:01We tried.

00:29:02And failed miserably.

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

00:29:06Are you sure about that?

00:29:09Camilla.

00:29:10Don't.

00:29:11Kiss me.

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

00:29:20Stop.

00:29:20Jesus.

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

00:29:27Lincoln, are you listening to me?

00:29:31Look at me.

00:29:31You don't want me to make a scene, do you?

00:29:35Because you know I will.

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

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

00:29:43You hear me?

00:29:44Ever.

00:29:45Now, you need to go.

00:29:47But...

00:29:48Right now.

00:30:12Not having any fun?

00:30:13Let's see if we can change that.

00:30:21It's my mom's 60th birthday, right?

00:30:31And her sorority sisters are drinking me under the table.

00:30:35And Agnes, her old roommate, slept with the bartender.

00:30:40So it's last call, right?

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

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

00:30:44Oh, my God.

00:30:46Stop.

00:30:49Something funny?

00:30:54Time to go.

00:31:07Arturo.

00:31:09Took Miss Livingston home.

00:31:10You're being incredibly rude.

00:31:12You know that?

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

00:31:15It's totally inappropriate.

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

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

00:31:20You 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 a CEO.

00:31:29Interrupt.

00:31:30Right.

00:31:31Is that why you're cozying up to my dad?

00:31:34What, my title not good enough for you?

00:31:35Charming 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?

00:31:43I 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.

00:32:33Is that a scar?

00:32:42It's odd.

00:32:46Fuck me.

00:32:47I don't want to run away.

00:33:02I don't want to run away.

00:33:06I don't want to run away.

00:33:22You, uh, want to come inside?

00:33:49Uh, no.

00:33:52Right. No. Of course not.

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

00:34:02Good morning.

00:34:21Good morning.

00:34:22I can't believe I risked my job for a guy who doesn't give two shits about me.

00:34:35It's not your fault. Laken barely gives a shit about his own family, you know?

00:34:39Me. Dad.

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

00:34:44He's a soft spot.

00:34:45Laken's got some serious trust issues.

00:34:48Like, he needs therapy about it.

00:34:51Camila really messed him up.

00:34:53Look, I consider myself a feminist, right?

00:34:58That bitch is a gold digger.

00:34:59I mean, she was basically using him to bankroll her modeling career.

00:35:02It took him, like, three years to come to his senses, and when he finally did, oh, surprise,

00:35:06surprise, guess who's suddenly pregnant?

00:35:08Jesus.

00:35:10Maybe it's just best to pretend like this never happened.

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

00:35:17Look, I gotta run to a meeting.

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

00:35:28I'll taxi the details.

00:35:29Yeah.

00:35:30I'm down.

00:35:31Great.

00:35:32I can't remember the last time you had us over for dinner.

00:35:56Dad insisted.

00:35:57There's something about never getting to see Malia these days.

00:36:01I wanted to have the gala post-mortem at the office.

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

00:36:06Family members.

00:36:07Exactly.

00:36:08Did you give Alex a ride on Saturday?

00:36:15Grandpa, 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?

00:36:30Because this little woman is an imposter.

00:36:35Also, Neil.

00:36:36Are we expecting a company?

00:36:40'

00:37:05Didn't realize you were joining us, Alex.

00:37:24Me neither.

00:37:35It's okay. I don't like asparagus either. My dad says I have to eat it because it's healthy for me.

00:37:43He's right. It is. Look on the bright side. At least it's not brussel sprouts, am I right?

00:37:57Thank you. That was delicious.

00:37:59All right. Miss Livingston, a word.

00:38:15Mr. Blainford, about the other night, I 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. Keep doing what you're doing.

00:38:32You planned this, didn't you?

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

00:38:37Thank you, Jace. You're very welcome.

00:38:39Jace, don't.

00:38:42Wanna watch Disney with us?

00:38:44Uh, you have a spelling test to study for, remember?

00:38:47But I want to hang out with Alex. Please, Daddy, please.

00:38:54I'll be right back.

00:39:11Hey.

00:39:14Come on.

00:39:15Come on.

00:39:17Come on.

00:39:19Come on.

00:39:23Come on.

00:39:48She likes you, you know?

00:39:55She's not normally so comfortable with strangers.

00:39:59I like her, too.

00:40:07So, are we going to figure out what happened?

00:40:10Or did I just fuck myself out of a job?

00:40:16Your job is not in danger.

00:40:18Okay, that doesn't totally answer my question.

00:40:25What do you want me to say, Alex?

00:40:27I can't get involved with my assistant.

00:40:31Not with the board watching my every move.

00:40:35But I also can't accept the fact that Saturday night was the last time that we'll ever...

00:40:43I thought I did something wrong.

00:40:46I want you, Alex.

00:40:47Alex, that's the problem.

00:40:56What if we separate church and state?

00:41:01At work, we're professional.

00:41:04But outside of work, we're...

00:41:08Unprofessional?

00:41:09I think the light is like...

00:41:11I'm sleepwalking through all of my problems, no.

00:41:16I can't make it through.

00:41:20Every night is the same.

00:41:22I keep running fast, left and right.

00:41:25Wondering where my eyes go now.

00:41:28I'm sleepwalking through all of my problems, no.

00:41:34I don't know.

00:41:35I can't make it through all of my problems.

00:41:38I have no idea.

00:41:38I can't make it through all of my problems, no.

00:41:39I don't know.

00:41:40I can't.

00:41:40I don't know.

00:41:41Let's go, Malia. Come on.

00:41:43Mom!

00:41:44Faster!

00:41:46Hey, uh, Lincoln's not here right now. He just landed in New York.

00:41:51New York. I know.

00:41:53But it turns out I can't take Malia at all this week.

00:41:57Going to LA. Business trip.

00:42:00So, she's all yours.

00:42:02Oh, uh, I'm not really here to be childcare.

00:42:05I'm sure you'll figure something out.

00:42:07Mommy loves you, Malia.

00:42:14I'll see you in two weeks, okay?

00:42:19Why doesn't you want to be with me?

00:42:22Hey, hey. It's okay, Malia.

00:42:38Alex, what's going on?

00:42:39Hey, we have a problem.

00:42:40Camilla just dropped Malia off at the office and left.

00:42:43She said she can't take care of this week after all.

00:42:45What?

00:42:46Let me talk to her.

00:42:52Hi, honey. Are you okay?

00:42:54Hi.

00:42:55Listen, uh, Mommy had to go away for a little bit, but, uh...

00:42:59I'm going to be back tonight, and in the meantime, Alex is going to take care of you, okay?

00:43:02Everything is fine.

00:43:03I love you.

00:43:04I love you, too.

00:43:10I should have known she'd pull a stunt like this.

00:43:13So much for that family time she went.

00:43:15I will book the first flight out this evening.

00:43:18Okay.

00:43:19Okay. Bye.

00:43:20Bye.

00:43:21Bye.

00:43:22Bye.

00:43:23Bye.

00:43:24Bye.

00:43:25Bye.

00:43:26Bye.

00:43:27Bye.

00:43:28Bye.

00:43:28Okay.

00:43:29So we'll get you fed.

00:43:30I can help you with your homework.

00:43:31And by the time your Dad gets back...

00:43:34So too much rice.

00:43:37I'm sorry.

00:43:39You have nothing to be sorry about.

00:43:46Has your Mom done this before?

00:43:50Sort of.

00:43:51Sometimes she leaves me with someone with her friends for a few days so she

00:43:55can go on.

00:43:57Work trips.

00:44:00Work trips. Huh.

00:44:03Does your dad know about this?

00:44:05I'm not supposed to tell him.

00:44:08She says it's important for girls my age to be able to take care of themselves.

00:44:14Shit! I mean, shoot!

00:44:27Oh my god! Malia!

00:44:36Malia.

00:44:39I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

00:44:43Better?

00:44:56Better?

00:44:59Good.

00:45:04How will we order some pizza?

00:45:26Malia?

00:45:28Do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?

00:45:38You can talk to me. Believe me, I understand.

00:45:46What do you mean?

00:45:50It's from surgery. I was born with a heart defect. Just like you.

00:45:56Yeah.

00:45:57Really?

00:45:58I didn't know anyone was like me.

00:46:02.

00:46:22Who is it?

00:46:24It's me.

00:46:32Lincoln.

00:46:34Hi.

00:46:36Hi.

00:46:38Can I see Malia?

00:46:52Daddy, shh.

00:47:10It's okay, sweetie.

00:47:11I'm right here.

00:47:13Go back to sleep.

00:47:15Oh, stay.

00:47:16Stay.

00:47:18I can sleep on the couch.

00:47:21No, sweetie.

00:47:22You stay, too.

00:47:26It's all right with me.

00:47:27I can sleep on the couch.

00:47:32I can sleep on the couch.

00:47:34I can sleep on the couch.

00:47:36I can sleep on the couch.

00:47:45where 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 thank you again for taking care

00:48:34of her wasn't a problem apparently is for her mother let me make it up to you how are you gonna do that

00:48:56I don't know if I can take it must be a monster in my head let me show you

00:49:04lately feels like I've been faking think there's a stranger here

00:49:10you'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 you don't want to hear about it it's too much too much

00:50:22this condition these bills this scar my parents were incredible they 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 now they're gone car accident when I was a senior in high school

00:50:44I begged them to have a night to themselves for once and then

00:50:48Alex sorry way too much information

00:50:53especially from a fuck buddy you don't need to know my sob story

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

00:51:03I know she told me

00:51:05yeah well she doesn't know everything

00:51:08look I've never told anybody this but

00:51:13Malia was born with her defect because Camilla

00:51:17she took diet pills during the pregnancy so she wouldn't gain weight or lose out on modeling gigs

00:51:24I only found out before it was too late

00:51:27oh my god

00:51:29it's terrible

00:51:31truth is

00:51:33she never really wanted to have a baby

00:51:35I did

00:51:37I was the one who wanted us to be a happy family

00:51:40turns out she was just in it for a meal ticket

00:51:44I'm so sorry Lincoln

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

00:51:52is for the money

00:51:54not for me

00:51:56certainly not for her daughter

00:51:58she's always been irresponsible

00:52:01but this latest stunt

00:52:03abandoning her daughter like that

00:52:05have you thought about pursuing soul custody

00:52:09I want to but

00:52:11it's too risky

00:52:12the courts usually side with the mother

00:52:14I can't risk losing my daughter

00:52:16they don't always

00:52:18Malia told me this wasn't the first time Camilla's done something like this

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

00:52:27Camilla leaves her with her friends when she goes on work trips

00:52:30it's dangerous and clearly her emotional needs aren't being met

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

00:52:36I don't know

00:52:37I don't want to put her through that

00:52:40I mean

00:52:40making her testify against her own mother

00:52:43I can't do that

00:52:44I know you want what's best for Malia

00:52:47and sharing her with Camilla isn't it

00:52:50maybe you should just give Camilla what she really wants

00:52:54and if that's money, fine

00:52:57you have it

00:52:58Malia deserves people in her life who care about her

00:53:02you're right

00:53:03Malia deserves better

00:53:05I will talk to her this week

00:53:08thank you

00:53:17thank you

00:53:17seems like I owe you again

00:53:23greedy

00:53:27I meant breakfast

00:53:29you can cook

00:53:32yes I can

00:53:34for the right company

00:53:36ta-da

00:53:46I should have known someone named Sugar would have such a sweet tooth

00:53:56shit, fuck, I'm sorry

00:54:01I didn't mean to

00:54:02it's okay

00:54:04really

00:54:05it's

00:54:05actually kind of nice to have someone call me by my real name again

00:54:09thank you again for everything

00:54:12I know this wasn't part of the job description

00:54:15and I'm sure dealing with my ex

00:54:17wasn't what you had in mind when my dad hired you

00:54:20he told you all of that?

00:54:33what are you, a miracle worker?

00:54:34a saint?

00:54:36hardly

00:54:37look

00:54:40if I tell you something

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

00:54:44cross my inner hope to die

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

00:54:53to help Lakin

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

00:54:57you work for the company

00:54:58you know that, right?

00:54:59you don't understand

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

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

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

00:55:07he wanted me to keep him away from Camilla

00:55:09by any means necessary

00:55:11he said

00:55:13now 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

00:55:24why?

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

00:55:29it won't feel like that if he finds out

00:55:31he'll think I'm just using him

00:55:33well

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

00:55:36Chase

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

00:55:39I think

00:55:39I think I'm falling for him

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

00:55:49thanks for meeting me

00:55:59I wanted to talk to you about

00:56:02your new girlfriend

00:56:03what?

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

00:56:07you know, I'd appreciate it if you told me

00:56:10before bringing another woman into our daughter's life

00:56:12especially that one

00:56:14what do you mean by that one?

00:56:16Alex actually stepped up when you abandoned her

00:56:19to go clubbing in LA

00:56:20it was a work trip

00:56:21oh really?

00:56:22she's already proven to be way better at taking care of Malia than you've ever been

00:56:35which is actually why I'm here

00:56:37enough is enough

00:56:39I once stole custody

00:56:41this is it?

00:56:43so this is it?

00:56:45you wanna break up our family?

00:56:47for that lying little

00:56:48you don't want a family

00:56:50you just want my money

00:56:51I see right through you Camilla

00:56:52you think I want money?

00:56:55how much do you know about your little assistant?

00:56:57what do you mean?

00:57:02I hate to be the one to tell you this

00:57:06but

00:57:07that girl is using you, Lakin

00:57:14I overheard Jason Herr laughing about it

00:57:17in the break room earlier today

00:57:21what do you mean she's using me?

00:57:23the only reason why she's working for you

00:57:26is because your dad promised to pay her medical bills

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

00:57:32no, she wouldn't do that

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

00:57:36if you don't believe me

00:57:38just ask your dad

00:57:48is it true?

00:57:50Lakin, what are you doing here?

00:57:51did you hire Alex in order to keep tabs on me?

00:57:57it was for your own good

00:57:59do not give me that father knows best routine

00:58:01this is a complete betrayal of my trust

00:58:03your personal issues were affecting not only the business

00:58:06but our family

00:58:08that is absurd

00:58:09this has nothing to do with the company

00:58:11your inability to cut Camilla from your life

00:58:13seriously calls into question your abilities as a leader

00:58:17as in does the way you close yourself off from any connection

00:58:20romantic or...

00:58:21so what, I can't be CEO if I don't open my heart?

00:58:24that is bullshit

00:58:25my love life is none of your business

00:58:27but the well-being of my granddaughter still is

00:58:32Alex is a smart girl with a good heart

00:58:35she cares about Malia

00:58:37and she challenges you

00:58:39she's fired

00:58:41thanks to you

00:58:42what are you doing here?

00:58:58we need to talk

00:59:00we are?

00:59:13you want to explain what you were doing with your ex

00:59:15looking like you're getting back together?

00:59:18is that why you haven't gotten custody of Malia?

00:59:21because you still love her?

00:59:22god I'm so fucking stupid

00:59:24were you ever gonna tell me about your little deal with my dad?

00:59:27god Alex

00:59:31I trusted you

00:59:33I told you things that I've never even told my family

00:59:36and this whole time

00:59:38you were just in it for the money

00:59:41I...

00:59:45Lakin, I couldn't say no

00:59:47that kind of money

00:59:49you know my situation but

00:59:50I never meant to hurt you

00:59:52and fucking me what?

00:59:53that was just a way to ensure job security?

00:59:55that's all I am to you

00:59:56just...

00:59:58of course not

01:00:01how dare you

01:00:03why should I believe you?

01:00:05you know

01:00:06you're just like her

01:00:08I am not like Camilla

01:00:10Lakin

01:00:11I care about you

01:00:12you're fired

01:00:14and this thing between us

01:00:16that's over too

01:00:44let's go

01:00:46Let's go.

01:01:11Rocky Road, huh?

01:01:13I've got the perfect pairing.

01:01:17You gonna let me in or what?

01:01:23You are out of your mind.

01:01:25Showing up here is insane.

01:01:27Like you don't fucking love it.

01:01:29I don't.

01:01:31I've changed.

01:01:33I've heard that before.

01:01:35God, it turns me on when you act like...

01:01:37Alright, this is like a pandemic level of Postmates orders.

01:01:39Have you left your house yet?

01:01:41Well, I'm gonna try and get my old job back so I'll probably be out of the house five days a week.

01:01:47Girl, losing your job and getting dumped on the same days a lot.

01:01:51You can take some time to mourn.

01:01:53I can't waste any more time on Lincoln.

01:01:57I was so stupid thinking he actually cared about me.

01:02:01What's wrong with me?

01:02:03What's wrong with me?

01:02:15Nothing.

01:02:17Absolutely nothing.

01:02:19I'm sorry.

01:02:25I just...

01:02:29I think I'm gonna be alone tonight.

01:02:33I think I'm gonna be alone tonight.

01:02:39Hey.

01:02:41Text me, okay?

01:02:43Just cause we don't work together doesn't mean we're not friends.

01:02:47You will.

01:02:49I promise.

01:02:51I promise.

01:02:53I promise.

01:02:55I promise.

01:02:57I'll be right back.

01:02:59I'll be right back.

01:03:01I'm sorry.

01:03:03I got you right back.

01:03:05I'm sorry.

01:03:07I'll be right back.

01:03:09I'll be right back.

01:03:11I have no chance.

01:03:13This is an orangeermen.

01:03:45Hey, 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.

01:04:04You really need to give me a key.

01:04:09You want a drink?

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

01:04:11Second cabinet to the left.

01:04:15I heard you broke up with Alex.

01:04:25Can't really break up with someone you weren't dating.

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

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

01:04:36I don't.

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

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

01:04:43What do you care?

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

01:04:46Her little deal with dad is mute, and now you two can finally be together.

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

01:04:56Yeah.

01:04:56You're always so wrapped up in your own shit, you never thought to ask your brother about his own life.

01:05:07I'm sorry.

01:05:10Really.

01:05:11I can't believe I didn't...

01:05:15Are you good?

01:05:23I'm good.

01:05:24I'm good.

01:05:24Suddenly, so many things make sense to me now.

01:05:42But you're always flirting with her, Alex.

01:05:44I was trying to light a fire under your ass.

01:05:47She's a good person, Lincoln.

01:05:49She cares about you.

01:05:51A lot.

01:05:52A lot.

01:05:54She hated the deal.

01:05:55She hated lying to you.

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

01:06:02And why should I?

01:06:04Because not everyone's Camilla.

01:06:10Look, it's not too late to make it right.

01:06:16Call her.

01:06:24No.

01:06:31No.

01:06:32No.

01:06:33Oh, no.

01:06:33No.

01:06:35No.

01:06:37Oh, no.

01:06:39No.

01:06:40Oh, no.

01:07:11Fuck him.

01:07:32So, that's $250,000 a year?

01:07:37Every year?

01:07:38Until Malia's 18th birthday.

01:07:40So, in nine more years then?

01:07:43Eight.

01:07:44You don't even know how old your daughter is?

01:07:46Yes.

01:08:05Pleasure doing business with you.

01:08:06You don't want to say goodbye?

01:08:13She'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?

01:08:19Good fucking riddance.

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

01:08:35Only 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.

01:08:41All right?

01:08:42If you gentlemen will excuse me, I have a granddaughter to comfort.

01:08:53Congrats, bro.

01:08:54Let's celebrate.

01:09:04Come on.

01:09:07We should be celebrating.

01:09:09Ding dong.

01:09:10The witch agreed to settle.

01:09:11Yeah.

01:09:14And now Malia has to live the rest of her life, knowing that her mother didn't care enough about her to fight for custody.

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

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

01:09:25What else could you want?

01:09:26Maybe a certain little assistant that helped you get custody.

01:09:32She 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?

01:09:46She doesn't want to speak to me.

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

01:09:50Well, I can't guarantee she'll take you back, but I may have a hot tip on where you can find her.

01:09:56She's working here again?

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

01:10:03Go get her.

01:10:18Hi.

01:10:19Ready to order?

01:10:20I'll come back in a few more minutes.

01:10:26Alex.

01:10:32Lincoln?

01:10:34What are you doing here?

01:10:37Jace brought me to celebrate.

01:10:41I won full custody.

01:10:44Congratulations.

01:10:45Yeah, I couldn't have done it without you.

01:10:48Alex, I, um, I want to apologize.

01:10:54I made a huge mistake.

01:10:56Thanks.

01:10:57I actually need to take my break right now.

01:10:59Someone call 911!

01:11:18Help!

01:11:18It's okay.

01:11:20It's okay.

01:11:22It's okay.

01:11:28Raging Dr. Bedford. Raging Dr. Bedford.

01:11:37Any update?

01:11:43There's only so much that they'll tell me right now, but...

01:11:47The doctor said that she's in critical condition,

01:11:51that they're gonna operate tomorrow,

01:11:54and that her chances are 50-50.

01:11:56Jesus.

01:11:58Her heart must be overwhelmed by all the stress.

01:12:03The stress that I fucking caused her.

01:12:07And seeing me at the restaurant, that couldn't have helped either.

01:12:09I should have just left her alone.

01:12:11It's not your fault, Lincoln.

01:12:15And now Alex could... she could...

01:12:17Hey, stop. Don't talk like that.

01:12:26I see you, please. I see you, please. I see you, please. I see you.

01:12:40Hey, Lincoln.

01:12:41Oh my God, Alex, you're awake. Jesus Christ.

01:12:47I was so worried, I thought...

01:12:52I thought that I might have lost you.

01:12:56Thank you. I'm fine.

01:12:59You should leave.

01:13:01What? What are you talking about? I...

01:13:04Lincoln, why are you here?

01:13:06I'm here because I care about you, because...

01:13:08Because you feel guilty.

01:13:11This is what you do.

01:13:12You throw money at your problems to make yourself feel better.

01:13:15No. It's not like that.

01:13:17I don't want to be your charity case, Lincoln.

01:13:19I don't want to feel like I owe you or anyone again.

01:13:26You are not a burden. I don't think that.

01:13:30I'd like you to go.

01:13:49I don't want to be my charity.

01:14:04I don't want to be a charity case.

01:14:06I don't want to be a charity case.

01:14:10I don't want to be a charity case.

01:14:13Morning, sleepy head.

01:14:19It's good to see you awake.

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

01:14:29I got you something.

01:14:44This almost makes me wish I hadn't made it.

01:14:50Where did all the flowers come from?

01:14:53It was Dad.

01:14:55You felt horrible he wasn't here after your episode,

01:14:57so he's been helping out with Mulyo while they can watch us over you here.

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

01:15:04Fancy pacemaker, extra care, you name it.

01:15:07He shouldn't have.

01:15:09You made a deal, Alex.

01:15:11Dad was good for it. It's done.

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

01:15:17What are you talking about?

01:15:19Look at me, Jace.

01:15:21I'm literally fucking scarred. Why should I-

01:15:23Hey, Alex.

01:15:25You deserve love.

01:15:27It's about time you get out of your own way and realize that.

01:15:33I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

01:15:45I'm sorry. I just-

01:15:47I thought you might need some help.

01:15:49Doctor said no unnecessary stress.

01:15:51Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.

01:15:53Sorry.

01:15:54I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

01:15:55Fuck.

01:15:56I'm sorry. I just-

01:15:57I thought you might need some help.

01:15:58Doctor said no unnecessary stress.

01:16:00Well, then you shouldn't have shown up.

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

01:16:02Sorry.

01:16:03Thank you, but I've got it from here.

01:16:04Alex.

01:16:05You're recovering from surgery.

01:16:07Let me at least help you inside.

01:16:09I'm sorry.

01:16:10I'm sorry.

01:16:11Thank you, but I've got it from here.

01:16:12Alex.

01:16:13You're recovering from surgery.

01:16:14Let me at least help you inside.

01:16:15I'm sorry.

01:16:16Thank you, but I've got it from here.

01:16:17Alex.

01:16:18You're recovering from surgery.

01:16:20Let me at least help you inside.

01:16:39Malia asks about you all the time, you know.

01:16:50She misses you.

01:16:52Everyone misses you.

01:16:54My dad, Jace, and me.

01:17:03It was wrong of me to accuse you of only wanting my money.

01:17:06I can see that now.

01:17:08I've just, I've spent my whole life thinking that I had to buy love.

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

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

01:17:23What you told me about your parents, and how they sacrificed everything for you,

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

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

01:17:35Yeah, but Alex, don't you think that if they were given the chance to do it all over again, they would do it exactly the same?

01:17:41That's not sacrifice.

01:17:44That's love.

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

01:17:47About what it means to give without expecting anything in return.

01:17:52I can't change the fact that I've been given more than most.

01:17:56But what you've taught me, what your parents have taught me, is that supporting someone is not about an obligation or to force an outcome.

01:18:10It is simply because you love them.

01:18:14Miss Livingston, you are the most selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful woman that I have ever met in my entire life.

01:18:29I can't stop.

01:18:32It's true.

01:18:33And since you clearly don't believe me, I guess I'll just have to prove it to you.

01:18:41Prove it? How?

01:18:43How?

01:18:52Is that...?

01:18:54Scars.

01:18:56Just like yours.

01:18:59Are those tattoos?

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

01:19:03I love you, Alex.

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

01:19:16Will you please forgive me for being such an idiot?

01:19:20Please.

01:19:25I love you too.

01:19:33What are you doing next week?

01:19:55I want to take you to a party.

01:19:59Another gala?

01:20:00Something like that.

01:20:03And you know the guest of honor very well.

01:20:06Who is it?

01:20:08You'll see.

01:20:16Happy birthday, dear Malia.

01:20:22Happy birthday to you.

01:20:30What'd you wish for?

01:20:35A new mommy.

01:20:39One step at a time, sweetheart.

01:20:44I got you something.

01:20:47It might not be the biggest present you get, but...

01:20:50I think you'll like it.

01:20:52I have one too.

01:20:55Just like you.

01:21:00Maybe.

01:21:04I don't realize, maybe

01:21:07The sky is going black, so come with us

01:21:12Don't hold back tonight

01:21:15The sky is going black, so come with us

01:21:22Don't hold back tonight

01:21:26The sky is going black
