00:00:00Surrogacy? What's surrogacy?
00:00:02Harvard Business School. MBA. Top of class.
00:00:06As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:00:15Three years I've loved him. Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:00:20But they don't see the real Ethan. I know he loves me.
00:00:30Oh my god! Three years I've wasted on you!
00:00:37I'm not gonna let you take this from me too.
00:00:39I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:00:42One appointment, one sperm donor, I can have a baby of my own.
00:00:49Understand this clearly. We'll be parents, nothing more.
00:00:54Surrogacy. Five generations of Crawford dignity. Destroyed by tabloid gossip.
00:01:06Adrian, I can make all of this disappear.
00:01:10Perfect couple, right? Until...
00:01:13Dun-dun-dun.
00:01:15All you have to do is remember who you really belong with.
00:01:19That's for every lie you just told.
00:01:21Your fault!
00:01:22You really plan to get rid of it.
00:01:27Get out!
00:01:28I don't know!
00:01:31No!
00:01:36Three years. Three years I've loved him.
00:01:39Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:01:41That a man like him only loves himself.
00:01:46But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:01:49I know he loves me.
00:01:51Thank you so much. I really, really appreciate it.
00:01:55Tonight, it will be our big night.
00:01:58And I'll give him all of me.
00:02:01We'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:02:04A family of our own.
00:02:18I'm so sorry.
00:02:25No.
00:02:29Oh, no.
00:02:30Oh, no.
00:02:32No.
00:02:33Oh.
00:02:35Huh?
00:02:39Oh.
00:02:41Oh.
00:02:44Oh.
00:02:46Oh, no.
00:02:48Oh.
00:02:50Oh.
00:02:52Oh, my God.
00:03:22Oh, my God.
00:03:36Voila.
00:03:37You're early.
00:03:39Why so shocked, babe?
00:03:41You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:03:47Come and join us.
00:03:52Three years.
00:03:54Three years.
00:03:55I wasted on you.
00:03:58God, I'm such an idiot.
00:04:00I was thinking I was going to have a baby with you.
00:04:04Oh, baby.
00:04:07Sweetheart.
00:04:08You wouldn't even put out after three years, and now you're thinking about playing mommy.
00:04:12Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs, these lovely ladies can show you how
00:04:22it's done.
00:04:23Screw you.
00:04:25I'm not going to let you take this from me, too.
00:04:42You know what?
00:04:43I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:46One appointment, one sperm donor, I can have a baby of my own.
00:04:50Six months to produce an heir, or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:05:04Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:05:08The surrogate candidates are all thrilled with Ivy League educated, impeccable health histories.
00:05:15I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:05:17I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:05:20Find me someone who knows your place, and will disappear after delivery.
00:05:24I need someone who knows your place, and will disappear after delivery.
00:05:54Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:06:11The interview?
00:06:12Yes, of course.
00:06:18Miss, okay.
00:06:24Miss, please sit.
00:06:30Right, um, let's get started.
00:06:35Hey, um, education background.
00:06:39Excuse me?
00:06:40And I'm going to need a full medical history, specifically genetic disorders.
00:06:46Do you work out?
00:06:47I mean, you look acceptable.
00:06:58Do you have any idea who I am?
00:07:02I'm just trying to be thorough.
00:07:04It's about creating a healthy baby, after all.
00:07:06Why are attractive men so full of themselves?
00:07:13I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:07:16I need to know your reproductive history.
00:07:18So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:07:22Mr. Crawford, I can't show her out.
00:07:25Thompson, leave us.
00:07:27Michael, what are you doing?
00:07:33Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:07:43Harvard Business School.
00:07:45MBA.
00:07:46Top of class.
00:07:47No family history of genetic disorders.
00:07:49I work you out five times a week.
00:07:53As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:08:03Now Thompson is gone.
00:08:05Are you comfortable to share yours?
00:08:07Yes.
00:08:09Of course.
00:08:12I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:08:14No genetic disorders.
00:08:16And I get regular checkups.
00:08:18Um, I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:08:24You really do seem like the perfect match.
00:08:27Good.
00:08:29Now, regarding compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
00:08:34Well, I was thinking around $800.
00:08:39$800.
00:08:41I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:08:45I know, I know it's not a lot of money, but considering the quality, um, I could, I can help, I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:08:56Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:08:58Oh, all of this?
00:09:07Seriously?
00:09:08Take your time to review, but the key point is after birth, the child stays with me.
00:09:15No contact.
00:09:16You want to keep my baby?
00:09:20Are you insane?
00:09:21That's standard procedure for surrogacy arrangements.
00:09:30Surrogacy?
00:09:31Surrogacy.
00:09:32The position you're interviewing for.
00:09:34Interview?
00:09:35I'm hated by sperm.
00:09:38You came to what?
00:09:38I thought you were a donor.
00:09:41That's why I was asking you all the questions about the history and stuff.
00:09:46I thought you were here to be my surrogate.
00:09:49Right.
00:09:49Um, well, I guess, I guess I've, um, made a mistake, so I'm just gonna go.
00:09:55Wait!
00:09:55A million dollars, for carrying my child.
00:10:04I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford, not somebody else's.
00:10:10Ah, you might need that.
00:10:20Clean this up.
00:10:22Bring in the next.
00:10:25Hello?
00:10:31Miss Reed, your father, you need to come now.
00:10:35Okay, I'm coming.
00:10:55Doctor, how is he?
00:10:58How is my father?
00:11:00The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:11:03Then, then do something.
00:11:05Save him.
00:11:06Is there, is there a treatment you can do?
00:11:09Uh, there is a new treatment.
00:11:11Okay, then, then let's do it.
00:11:13But maybe it's, uh, quite expensive.
00:11:15How much?
00:11:16Around one million dollars.
00:11:18A million dollars?
00:11:20Yes.
00:11:20Can I get a, a, a loan or something?
00:11:24Actually, this is a new technology.
00:11:27And there is no loan policy.
00:11:28Sorry.
00:11:28Bye.
00:11:51Ah.
00:11:52Ah.
00:11:53Ah.
00:11:54Ah.
00:11:54Ah.
00:11:55Ah.
00:11:56This is the last batch.
00:12:10Yes, sir. The blonde want to know about ring sizes.
00:12:15And brunette asked about moving in.
00:12:19And the redhead...
00:12:20All of them want the Crawford name.
00:12:24No one's qualified.
00:12:27She was refreshing.
00:12:30No pretense. No schemes.
00:12:33But she wasn't even here for surrogacy.
00:12:36Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job.
00:12:52Hello.
00:12:53I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:13:05I've been thinking.
00:13:06I've been thinking.
00:13:08About yesterday, I may have been a bit hasty.
00:13:12You're reconsidering.
00:13:14Don't sound so smug about it. I have my reasons.
00:13:17As do I.
00:13:21I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:13:26What kind of modification?
00:13:28Joint custody. You wouldn't be just carrying the child. You'd be the baby's mother.
00:13:33Why would you agree to that?
00:13:35You're honest. Direct. No hidden agenda.
00:13:40Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:13:42So I'd really get to be a part of the baby's life?
00:13:45Yes. But understand this clearly.
00:13:48We'll be parents. Nothing more.
00:13:50No romantic entanglements. No emotional expectations.
00:13:57Don't flutter yourself.
00:13:59God, rich men and their egos.
00:14:01Father.
00:14:06The board is getting impatient.
00:14:09Have you considered the arrangements I suggested?
00:14:12I've already made my own plans.
00:14:14Adrian, if you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
00:14:22The Crawford name means something. I won't let it be tainted by...
00:14:26I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:14:29What?
00:14:30We'll discuss this at dinner.
00:14:33Did I just get promoted from surrogate to fiancé?
00:14:37Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just say, just parents, nothing more?
00:14:49The situation requires... adaptation.
00:14:54Is that CEO talk for I change my mind?
00:14:58We need a convincing story.
00:14:59You'll be staying at my house during the pregnancy.
00:15:02And after the baby comes?
00:15:03We'll arrange for an amicable separation, continue parenting, and I'll arrange for any additional compensation for the complexity.
00:15:12The original amount is fine, but I am going to need it soon.
00:15:17Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:15:19Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:15:39Wow.
00:15:41I think my whole apartment could fit in this entryway.
00:15:45Well, well, well. Missed me so much, you tracked me down.
00:16:02Can't get over me, huh?
00:16:06Following me here like a lost puppy?
00:16:09Following you? Why would I... What are you doing here?
00:16:12Sweetheart, this is my family's house. I'm sure you know that.
00:16:17Hmm. You never let me have sex with you.
00:16:21Look at you now, sneaking into my house.
00:16:24Finally realize what you're missing, baby?
00:16:27Get your hands off me, you creep!
00:16:30Playing hard to get used to be cute, but now?
00:16:33Come on, baby. We both know this is what you came here for.
00:16:36Uncle! What are you doing?
00:16:37Get your filthy hands off my fiancée!
00:16:42Your... your... what?
00:16:46Fiancée?
00:16:49Fiancée? How could she be your fiancée? She's just...
00:16:51Watch your mouth!
00:16:54Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:16:59This is crazy!
00:17:01You seriously don't know!
00:17:02I won't repeat myself.
00:17:04Stay away from my fiancée.
00:17:06One more word?
00:17:08You can kiss that trust fund.
00:17:10Goodbye.
00:17:11You alright?
00:17:12Yeah, so...
00:17:17Ethan...
00:17:19He's your nephew.
00:17:21And he's your...?
00:17:23Well, he was...
00:17:25He's kinda...
00:17:27He was my boyfriend.
00:17:28I mean, ex-boyfriend.
00:17:29I mean, ex-boyfriend.
00:17:31I mean, like, extremely ex-ex-boyfriend.
00:17:34I see.
00:17:36Thompson will bring your things in shortly.
00:17:38Sorry.
00:17:40Um, so...
00:17:41Where am I staying?
00:17:42Here.
00:17:44What?
00:17:46Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple sleep in separate rooms.
00:17:49Oh, of course.
00:17:51I mean, ex-boyfriend.
00:17:52I mean, ex-boyfriend.
00:17:53I mean, ex-boyfriend.
00:17:54I mean, ex-boyfriend.
00:17:55I mean, ex-extremely ex-ex-boyfriend.
00:17:57I see.
00:17:59Tell him someone will bring your things in shortly.
00:18:01Sorry.
00:18:02Um, so...
00:18:03Where am I staying?
00:18:05Here.
00:18:07What?
00:18:09Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple sleep in separate rooms?
00:18:10Oh, of course.
00:18:12Fake engagement.
00:18:13Real roommates.
00:18:17Don't worry.
00:18:18I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:18:40What are you doing?
00:18:41This is the line.
00:18:42Don't cross it.
00:18:43Ever.
00:18:44For sure.
00:18:45Good.
00:18:47My plan worked perfectly.
00:18:49Wait.
00:18:50How did I...
00:18:51How did I...
00:18:52Oh, no.
00:18:53No.
00:18:55Oh, no, no, no.
00:18:56Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:18:57Oh.
00:18:58Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:19:01No problem.
00:19:02Oh, no.
00:19:03Sorry.
00:19:09My plan worked perfectly.
00:19:14Wait.
00:19:15How did I...
00:19:16No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:19:19Sir, are you okay?
00:19:22Fine.
00:19:23Continue.
00:19:24Stay on your side.
00:19:43My love, wake up.
00:19:52Laila, please.
00:19:55Laila, please.
00:20:15Control.
00:20:17This is the next game.
00:20:18Control.
00:20:19Sorry.
00:20:20Didn't see you there.
00:20:22You're always in the way.
00:20:26Ah.
00:20:27My brother's mysterious fiancee.
00:20:28Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:29Catherine, please.
00:20:30We're family now.
00:20:31Supposedly.
00:20:32Helen, tea, please.
00:20:33Yes, Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:35Helen, tea, please.
00:20:36Yes, Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:37Yes, Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:38So, tell me, dear.
00:20:39How did you and Adrian meet us?
00:20:41Sorry.
00:20:42Sorry.
00:20:43Didn't see you there.
00:20:44You're always in the way.
00:20:45Ah.
00:20:46My brother's mysterious fiancee.
00:20:48Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:49Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:50Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:51Catherine, please.
00:20:52We're family now.
00:20:53Supposedly.
00:20:54Helen, tea, please.
00:20:56Yes, Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:58So, tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:21:05Through mutual friends.
00:21:06Oh, really?
00:21:07Mutual friends.
00:21:08Hmm.
00:21:09Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:21:22Unless this is more of a business arrangement?
00:21:25I'm sorry?
00:21:26Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved?
00:21:32The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:21:46Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancee, your presence is required.
00:21:53I'd be honored.
00:21:55Hmm.
00:21:56Perfect.
00:21:57I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:22:01You can go now.
00:22:04Excuse me, Miss Ri.
00:22:18I need to clean.
00:22:19Of course.
00:22:20Let me just...
00:22:21Yes.
00:22:22Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:22:28How creative.
00:22:29Must be hiding your family.
00:22:30Watching you chase after rich men.
00:22:31Let me help you with this.
00:22:32Oh!
00:22:33My dress!
00:22:34How clumsy of me.
00:22:35You did that on purpose.
00:22:36Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:22:37You're just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:41Mr. Crawford!
00:22:42Mr. Crawford!
00:22:43She just attacked me!

00:25:18Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:25:22Uh, yeah, I'm fine. I just need some assistance.
00:25:27Oh, do you need my help?
00:25:29No, I didn't mean...

00:26:04I just need you somewhere very far.
00:26:06I'm sorry.
00:26:10Well, that was helpful.
00:26:11Are you okay?
00:26:19Yeah.
00:26:20Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shops would hurt, but it's...
00:26:23It's causing you pain.
00:26:24Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable.
00:26:27But I mean, it will pass.
00:26:29Oh.
00:26:30Here.
00:26:32Oh, okay.
00:26:34Thanks.
00:26:52Well, the hormone shops were a part of the agreement, and...
00:26:54Any resulting pain is technically a work-related issue.
00:26:57And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:27:00Okay.
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:02Purely professional care.
00:27:30Purely professional, huh?
00:27:42Adrian.
00:27:50Adrian.
00:27:53Um, about this weekend...
00:27:55I'm sorry.
00:27:56There's an emergency in Atlanta.
00:27:57The merge is falling apart.
00:27:59Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:28:02Your family invited me to dinner.
00:28:05Guess I'll handle it on my own.
00:28:07Well, I don't suppose we should expect punctuality from a person who's probably never had a proper watch in her life.
00:28:18I introduce him to the Lawson Harris, the senator's daughter.
00:28:23I don't understand why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:28:27Uh, what did you say she did, Ethan?
00:28:29What did you say she did, Ethan?
00:28:30Retail?
00:28:31Worse.
00:28:32A wannabe writer.
00:28:33She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:28:41Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:28:43I had the chef prepare her place setting and everything.
00:28:46She probably couldn't figure out which work to do, though.
00:28:49I apologize for the slight delay.
00:29:07My, my.
00:29:08Trying so hard to look the part.
00:29:11James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner.
00:29:15I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:29:20And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breeding.
00:29:24Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:29:30Oh, darling.
00:29:32A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:29:35How quaint.
00:29:38At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian's socks.
00:29:41I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable.
00:29:49Integrity.
00:29:51Integrity.
00:29:53Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:29:58How much?
00:30:00How much will it take you to disappear?
00:30:03Pay your price.
00:30:04The difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford, is that I don't think that everything comes with a price tag.
00:30:14Excuse me.
00:30:23Stay calm.
00:30:27You can do this.
00:30:28Getting all dressed up for me, baby.
00:30:43What's the rush?
00:30:45We're all family here.
00:30:47Well, almost family.
00:30:49Don't touch me.
00:30:51You used to like it when I touched you.
00:30:52Remember how shy you were?
00:30:55Always saying no.
00:30:57Land off me, doctor!
00:31:00Be careful, Mel.
00:31:01One scream from you, and everyone at dinner is going to know what kind of girl you really are.
00:31:07Now, where were we?
00:31:09Where were we?
00:31:18Everything all right, dear?
00:31:20You look flushed.
00:31:22So, as I was saying about the muscles...
00:31:28Stop it!
00:31:30Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:31:32No, I just...
00:31:33Stop it!
00:31:35Enough!
00:31:37No class?
00:31:38No manners?
00:31:40I don't know how you seduced my son, but someone like you could never deserve a place in this family!
00:31:48I...
00:31:49I'm the one who sued her.
00:31:56Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:32:01Adrian...
00:32:02If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:32:05You wanna know how we met?
00:32:07She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:32:09Papers flying, coffee spilled.
00:32:11Unlike some people, she didn't care about my name or my money.
00:32:16She, uh...
00:32:18Refused me several times.
00:32:20Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:32:22First woman who dared to stand out to me.
00:32:25And that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:32:27I remember her.
00:32:28Sir, two things.
00:32:29Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner.
00:32:31And your jet is ready.
00:32:32We can go now.
00:32:34Cancel it, Lance.
00:32:36What's the merger?
00:32:38Yes, sir.
00:32:40Funny that last week's family's dinners were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:32:42Something's more important than business.
00:32:43Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:32:44Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:32:47What are you talking about?
00:32:49What are you talking about?
00:32:50Oh, can you tell me?
00:32:51Yeah.
00:32:53I don't know.
00:32:54I'm so sorry, walnuts.
00:32:56And I'm so sorry, man.
00:32:58I'm sorry.
00:32:59But it's only when...
00:33:00But the week's house is so sorry.
00:33:01No, sir.
00:33:03Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:33:07Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:33:12both. What are you talking about? We've been dating for three years. I have pictures of
00:33:21us together. What? She probably planned this from the start. Dating me to get close to
00:33:31the family, then setting her sights higher. You manipulative little trick. Face it, Uncle.
00:33:37You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:42That's for every lie you just told.
00:33:56Adrienne! How dare you hit my son! Where do you think you're going? We are not the finish
00:34:01here yet! Yes, we are.
00:34:08I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:34:10Thank you for coming back, and for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:34:20Your hands, what happened?
00:34:21As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts. I expect you to use them. I... I
00:34:43didn't want to presume. You're a Crawford now.
00:34:49Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
00:34:55Dr. Anderson. Mr. Crawford. Mr. Crawford. The embryos are ready, so we can proceed with the
00:35:03implantation tomorrow morning. I see. Thank you.
00:35:06What is it? What is it? Is-is something wrong with the embryos? I've been thinking...
00:35:12...perhaps we should approach this matter in a more... natural manner. Between the husband... and wife.
00:35:23What are your thoughts?
00:35:25I think that we should go to bed. We have a really big day tomorrow. So... I mean... goodnight.
00:35:39You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit. Focus on the procedure. Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:36:01There. See that white spot? That's our baby.
00:36:09You know, I can walk. Doctor's orders? You seem more nervous than I do.
00:36:23I'm merely following medical pursuit.
00:36:34Look at her. She's acting like a priest.
00:36:39She was probably a waitress last week.
00:36:44Now she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:37:00Oh...
00:37:01Adrien!
00:37:10Not quite. Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:37:14Let go of me!
00:37:22Come on! You used to love being in my arms. Remember how we would spend hours at the cafe? You would lean into me while reading your favorite book?
00:37:26Did she?
00:37:39Adrien! I was just... I was just getting food, I swear.
00:37:43Get out!
00:37:48Get out!
00:37:54My stomach.
00:37:54Byla, what's wrong?
00:37:56My stomach. I think that there's something wrong.
00:37:57If anything, anything happens to my fiancee or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:38:04And you. What you want, you will never have. Never.
00:38:12Child.
00:38:17Child.
00:38:18Three years she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:38:22In a few weeks, with my uncle, and she's carrying his child.
00:38:26You want the perfect family.
00:38:31It's not gonna happen.
00:38:43Thompson, clear my schedule. Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:47Sir, what happened?
00:38:48Do you need my help?
00:38:49You can't help on this one. Just do what I say.
00:38:52You and Ethan, you've never really gotten along, have you?
00:39:01Why is that?
00:39:09You seem very concerned about him.
00:39:11I... I just...
00:39:12Just get some rest. It's been a rough day for you.
00:39:14Adrian, why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:39:18No reason. I just know you're not like that.
00:39:23Thanks.
00:39:25Get some rest.
00:39:26Do whatever makes you comfortable. Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:39:30Anything I want? Are you sure about that?
00:39:33What are you doing?
00:39:48What are you doing?
00:40:03This is ambitious.
00:40:05The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:08The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:09Yeah.
00:40:10And chips and ice cream.
00:40:13You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you?
00:40:15I've been researching optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:40:20See, week by week guidelines.
00:40:22Okay, okay, okay. How about a compromise?
00:40:26One treat per day.
00:40:28Half a treat.
00:40:30Three quarters.
00:40:45Half a treat.
00:40:46Half a treat.
00:40:46Half a treat.
00:40:53Congratulations. The fetus is developing perfectly.
00:40:58Really?
00:41:00Everything looks wonderful.
00:41:02Now that we're in the stable period, I would recommend you starting some prenatal exercise.
00:41:08What kind of exercise?
00:41:10What kind of exercise?
00:41:11What kind of exercise?
00:41:12Now, hold her from behind in the maternal pose.
00:41:23Maybe we should skip this part.
00:41:25Good training.
00:41:26Let's do it properly.
00:41:27Guide her arms up.
00:41:28What kind of exercise?
00:41:38This is a little inlet.
00:41:40And now, the supporting stretch.
00:41:50Oh, waitress.
00:41:54Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:41:59Maybe we should continue this at home.
00:42:01Yeah, please.
00:42:20The charity gala isn't a test.
00:42:22Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:42:45You look perfect.
00:42:46The charity gala isn't a test.
00:42:50Just be yourself.
00:42:55Then...
00:42:57This...
00:43:00This is not me.
00:43:01This is not me.
00:43:05...
00:43:06It's been too long.
00:43:22...
00:43:24You look exactly the same.
00:43:39And you must be the fiancé.
00:43:42I'm so pleased Adrian has found someone after all these years.
00:43:46That's really kind, but I'm sorry. Who are you?
00:43:49I'm just someone who cares about Adrian's happiness more than anyone else.
00:44:02Oh, my God! You two are finally back together.
00:44:08Everyone, look who's here, the golden couple.
00:44:12I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged. I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:44:16When is the wedding?
00:44:20Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancé, Lala Reid.
00:44:33We're expecting our first child, and of course you're all welcome to the wedding.
00:44:37She's pregnant?
00:44:38Oh, I'm so sorry. I just assumed congratulations for you both.
00:44:49Adrian Crawford in a complete unknown? How did you manage that?
00:44:53Adrian chose for over Vivian? Is he crazy?
00:44:57Oh, Benji, how have you been?
00:44:59Great.
00:45:00Let's go, Ben.
00:45:07They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:45:11Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:45:13Gentlemen!
00:45:14What are y'all talking about?
00:45:15What are y'all talking about?
00:45:16They do look like the perfect couple.
00:45:29Drinking? I thought you were pregnant.
00:45:43None of your business.
00:45:44You know how Adrian is. Always has to win. Especially against me. He hates when I take things from him.
00:45:57What are you talking about?
00:46:06Perfect couple, right?
00:46:09Until...
00:46:13Vivian fell madly in love with me, leaving dear uncle heartbroken.
00:46:19Since then, whatever I want, he has to take.
00:46:24Whatever I have, he has to win. Like you.
00:46:31What you want, you never have. Never.
00:46:35You and Ethan, you've never really gone along, have you?
00:46:41You don't get it. Stop being naive. You're just his tool for revenge.
00:46:46I'm just his tool for revenge?
00:46:56What do you think you're doing? You are pregnant. Why are you drinking?
00:46:58Oh, now you care.
00:46:59It's soda. I know what I'm doing.
00:47:03It's soda. I know what I'm doing.
00:47:04What do you think you're doing? You are pregnant. Why are you drinking?
00:47:10Oh, now you care.
00:47:12It's soda. I know what I'm doing.
00:47:16What happened back there? Talk to me.
00:47:23Lila, I am worried.
00:47:24So you talked to Ethan, but not me.
00:47:26Oh, you do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:47:29Oh, you do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:47:46Well, you do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:48:05Violet, open the door.
00:48:10Please.
00:48:16We walked that season, I'd call.
00:48:41The eggs are still warm.
00:48:44I apologize about last night, I was just worried about you.
00:48:50Worried about me, or worried about the baby?
00:48:56What do you mean?
00:48:57Is this why you're being so nice to me?
00:49:01Making me breakfast, being all protective?
00:49:05It's just for the baby?
00:49:08Lila, you've been so strange since yesterday, why?
00:49:13Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:49:20Yes.
00:49:28And then she got with Ethan?
00:49:32Yes.
00:49:34Okay, so, so I'm just-
00:49:36Vivian and I were-
00:49:43Sir, the Singapore Marjorie is falling apart.
00:49:45We need you immediately.
00:49:46I'm in the middle of something.
00:49:48The board is threatening to pull out.
00:49:51I'll be there.
00:49:52We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back.
00:50:01Of course. Business first.
00:50:07Lila.
00:50:09Just go.
00:50:10Sir, there have been complications.
00:50:24Explain.
00:50:26During your absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members.
00:50:29Suggesting all sudden marriage plans indicate a stable decision-making.
00:50:35Several executors are questioning if someone so personally distracted should and hurt the company.
00:51:00Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing-
00:51:02My personal life.
00:51:03Your subtle access has-
00:51:04Let me be very clear.
00:51:12This company took a 40% profit loss before I took over.
00:51:17Within three years, I tripled our market share.
00:51:20Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge, my execution, my strategies.
00:51:27So yes, I am getting married.
00:51:31And yes, I took some time off.
00:51:33And no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:51:41Because without me, there wouldn't be a company left to inherit.
00:51:48Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:51:57Don't you know what it is?
00:51:59Yes, but sir, what is it?
00:52:00Yes!
00:52:02With no consequence, I have to start to find it.
00:52:05Excuse me.
00:52:07I heard you like a quarter or two.
00:52:11I've got a quarter or two.
00:52:13You need to go forward to meeting the other company.
00:52:15I'll go forward to make a quarter-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-the-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to.
00:52:19So yes, you need to do it.
00:52:21I think it'll do too.
00:52:23Adrian! What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:52:40I was doing my job.
00:52:41Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:52:45Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:52:51You leave Lila out of this.
00:52:54You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:52:57Yeah, run along. Adolfs are talking business now.
00:53:01We just need to bore him for a moment, dear. Business matters.
00:53:05You wouldn't understand.
00:53:13That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:53:21She's nothing but a broodmare.
00:53:26After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:53:31Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:53:34Someone like me.
00:53:37Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:53:41Non-negotiable.
00:53:42She will follow you every day, just like before.
00:53:46And your little pet project can't stay home and just state that's all she's good for.
00:53:54Get out!
00:53:55Both of you!
00:53:56How dare you!
00:53:57If you dare mention my wife's name again.
00:53:59I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before either of you get to touch it.
00:54:04Adrian, be reasonable.
00:54:06She is worth a thousand of you.
00:54:09Tomorrow, 9 a.m., Vivian starts.
00:54:13No discussion.
00:54:16Is that all?
00:54:18Yes, for now.
00:54:19But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:21I'll be right back.
00:54:51Stop it. Stop checking. This is ridiculous. I was independent before. I don't need a man
00:55:07to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep. No, I'm not going to be that
00:55:15girl. I can make my own meals. I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his
00:55:25nutritional spreadsheets. A broodmarrow. Way to get back at Ethan.
00:55:36Milo! I'm fine. You're not fine. Hospital. Now. I'm fine.
00:55:46Thanks. I know we've had our differences but I really appreciated you today.
00:56:05You know, you used to look at me like that. All sweet. Sincere.
00:56:15Don't. Why not? Is there really no chance for us?
00:56:20Ethan. Lila, he's just using you. You're his revenge against me. A tool. And you deserve better than that.
00:56:31Adrian, stop! What are you doing? I'm protecting you. From what? He's helping. He brought me here. My hand was bleeding.
00:56:41So now you're defending him. No, I'm defending the truth. Sometimes, I guess people surprise you.
00:56:49I see. Adrian. I'll call the doctor to come.
00:56:55I want a full blood panel. Fetal monitoring. Bring the OBGYN down immediately.
00:57:03Sir, it's just a minor call. I want a full prenatal checkup.
00:57:07I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson. He's going to be down here in 10 minutes.
00:57:11Always so controlled. Aren't you, Uncle? Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:57:21Remember our beach dates? How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:57:31Thompson, bring in the catering. The Michelin star one. Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:57:39Oh, well done. No sauce.
00:57:41I don't think that I did say...
00:57:43How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:57:47Pride and Prejudice. BBC adaptation, 1995. She likes to watch it when she's feeling stressed.
00:57:53Which is why I upgraded our home theater system. To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:57:59You did what? Wow!
00:58:03Using money to get to her heart. Huh, Uncle.
00:58:11The Alzheimer's Wing is fully renovated. Named after Lila's grandmother. As she mentioned.
00:58:17Oh, it's a fully funded. Anonymous donor. Hmm.
00:58:22He may be able to offer you money, but you're gonna miss this.
00:58:43Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:58:46Try smiling, huh?
00:58:49I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins. They should arrive shortly.
00:58:53They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:58:56Wow. You remembered all that about me.
00:58:59I remember everything about you.
00:59:05Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:59:10Guys, she's tired. We should leave. Let her rest.
00:59:13Is this just another competition, Ethan? Or does he actually care?
00:59:27you know?
00:59:29I don't know.
00:59:33Yes, father?
00:59:45Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:59:48Overwork, they say, from cleaning up your company's mess.
00:59:52I have meetings.
00:59:53Cancel them!
00:59:55Go to visit her right now.
00:59:57Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you,
01:00:01or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
01:00:21You came.
01:00:25Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
01:00:29Still so cold.
01:00:32Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was unwell?
01:00:35That was a long time ago.
01:00:38We were really great together, Adrian.
01:00:41We could be together again.
01:00:42I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
01:00:46What we had, I never took it as seriously as you pretended to.
01:00:51But Lila, she's different.
01:00:54She's real.
01:00:54Pregnant gold digger is real.
01:00:58Please.
01:01:05I guess some things never change.
01:01:11Watch your words.
01:01:14Stay away from my wife.
01:01:16My little girl.
01:01:27Daddy.
01:01:28No.
01:01:30Your hand.
01:01:31It's nothing.
01:01:34I need to tell you something.
01:01:36I'm going to be a mother.
01:01:39Is it that Ethan boys?
01:01:41No.
01:01:42No.
01:01:42Then who?
01:01:44It doesn't matter.
01:01:45But what does matter is that this is my baby.
01:01:49And I'm going to love them so much.
01:01:52With all the love that you gave me.
01:01:56Baby.
01:01:56Baby.
01:01:57I'm so sorry.
01:01:59I'm sorry I couldn't give you better.
01:02:04Daddy.
01:02:04If only I were healthy.
01:02:06If I could work.
01:02:07Daddy, don't.
01:02:09But the hospital bills.
01:02:11What are you getting money for?
01:02:14Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:02:16No.
01:02:17No.
01:02:17It's not like that.
01:02:19Did someone take advantage of you?
01:02:21My little girl pregnant all alone.
01:02:24She's not alone.
01:02:27Hi, Mr. Reid.
01:02:30I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:02:35I'm the father of her child.
01:02:37Adriana.
01:02:39I'm not just the father.
01:02:40I'm the man who's going to spend the rest of his life making sure your daughter and our child get everything they deserve.
01:02:46Pretty words from a rich man.
01:02:49Not words.
01:02:50Facts.
01:02:51I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:02:53Full treatment plan.
01:02:54Best specialists.
01:02:55Adrian.
01:02:59And I promise you this.
01:03:01Every morning she's going to wake up knowing that she is cherished.
01:03:05Every decision I make, every step I take will be to ensure her happiness.
01:03:10You really mean that, don't you?
01:03:12Yes, sir, I do.
01:03:14Well.
01:03:15Maybe I can stop worrying now.
01:03:27Thank you for what you said in there.
01:03:31I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:03:34No, no, no, no.
01:03:35I wasn't just doing anything.
01:03:37Every word I said in there is true.
01:03:40Adrian.
01:03:40Lila, I need to tell you something.
01:03:49I've been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
01:03:54Yes, we had a contract, but I realized you've become everything to me.
01:04:02You're not my surrogate.
01:04:05You're not my convenient fiancé.
01:04:07You're my partner.
01:04:12If you have me.
01:04:16But what about Ethan and Vivian?
01:04:19What about them?
01:04:23Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan?
01:04:25Revenge?
01:04:27I never loved Vivian.
01:04:29And Ethan, he's not worth a second thought.
01:04:31Really?
01:04:33And who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:04:38That was...
01:04:41I was jealous, okay?
01:04:46I thought of you with him.
01:04:50Wow.
01:04:51The great Mr. Crawford.
01:04:53Jealous?
01:04:53Don't mention that.
01:04:55I have a reputation to make that.
01:04:57Hmm.
01:05:10I'm not letting you go.
01:05:13Not ever.
01:05:22Surrogacy.
01:05:23Contract marriage?
01:05:25Oh, this is too perfect.
01:05:27I don't know.
01:05:57Whiskey. Neat.
01:06:06What's so urgent?
01:06:08I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you.
01:06:12Is this about her and my uncle?
01:06:14It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:06:17Your perfect uncle? He hired her.
01:06:21She's just a surrogate. Their whole engagement is a lie.
01:06:24A contract.
01:06:30The board would love to hear about this.
01:06:33Next week's family meeting.
01:06:36They'll reveal everything.
01:06:38Until then, let's gather more evidence.
01:06:40And once he's ruined...
01:06:45I'll comfort him.
01:06:46Help him rebuild.
01:06:48He'll remember who he truly belongs with.
01:06:54And Lila?
01:06:56Well, once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:07:00You can have your little toy back.
01:07:02Cheers.
01:07:21Um, Ethan's in meetings all afternoon.
01:07:24That's okay. I don't mind waiting.
01:07:26These documents require his immediate attention.
01:07:34Would you mind getting me some tea, dear?
01:07:42Sorry, you see agreements?
01:07:44The whole contracts?
01:07:47Come on.
01:07:48The train's always so organized.
01:07:52Where is everything?
01:08:01It's just a stupid cat.
01:08:02No!
01:08:08Are you okay?
01:08:16You're a beast!
01:08:18Attempt me!
01:08:20I need your bathroom!
01:08:22Now!
01:08:30Atrian!
01:08:32I've been waiting for you.
01:08:42You know,
01:08:43if you need an heir,
01:08:45we could make one.
01:08:46Right here.
01:08:49Right now.
01:08:52Lila doesn't have to know.
01:08:54She's already asleep.
01:08:57It could just be our
01:08:58little secret.
01:09:02Here?
01:09:02In the living room?
01:09:07Wherever you want.
01:09:09Someone might see us.
01:09:10Are you scared?
01:09:11Are you scared?
01:09:11I know somewhere more.
01:09:18Private.
01:09:26Where are we going?
01:09:27We can't risk being interrupted,
01:09:30can we?
01:09:30Ladies first.
01:09:37Enjoy the fresh air.
01:09:39Adrian!
01:09:40Adrian!
01:09:41You can't do this to me!
01:09:43I'm a Crawford executor!
01:09:44stop filming me!
01:09:52This is harassment!
01:09:53I will sue you!
01:09:54I will sue you so hard!
01:09:55Adrian!
01:10:00Adrian!
01:10:00Adrian!
01:10:00Adrian, let me in!
01:10:01Everyone, this crisis could have destroyed us, but thanks to your tireless efforts, Crawford is stronger than ever.
01:10:19To the best team in the business.
01:10:21Though, speaking of tonight's celebration, there's something you all should be prepared for.
01:10:33For what?
01:10:34My uncle is bringing his fiancee tonight.
01:10:39The thing is, her and I were together until very recently.
01:10:44I know, I know, I know.
01:10:48But please, when they arrive, act normal.
01:10:52I couldn't bear any drama.
01:10:54She left you for your uncle.
01:10:58These things happen.
01:11:01Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to my fiancee, Lila Reed.
01:11:07Hello everybody, it's lovely to meet you all.
01:11:09I need to check some numbers.
01:11:14Did I do something wrong?
01:11:18How are you feeling?
01:11:26Is the morning sickness over yet?
01:11:28I'm fine.
01:11:30You know, I've been worried.
01:11:33All this stress can't be good for the baby.
01:11:37Which hospital are you using?
01:11:39I could drive you next time.
01:11:41That's not necessary.
01:11:43Come on.
01:11:45We used to tell each other everything.
01:11:48Just want to make sure you're getting the proper care.
01:11:51If I know her hospital, then I can get her surrogate history.
01:11:55How thoughtful.
01:11:56But Adrian handles all my appointments personally.
01:12:00The real hero of the hour.
01:12:02Whoa!
01:12:02Beautiful, isn't she?
01:12:10The type of woman who belongs in Adrian's world.
01:12:14Excuse me.
01:12:16You know how my uncle thinks.
01:12:19Like a chess master.
01:12:21Every piece has its use.
01:12:23Some for business.
01:12:26Others for...
01:12:28You don't know him.
01:12:30Oh, but I do.
01:12:32Adrian Crawford cares exactly about one person.
01:12:36Adrian Crawford.
01:12:37He sees people as investments.
01:12:39Vivian?
01:12:40Perfect for managing the company.
01:12:43You?
01:12:44Well, I think we both know what your role is.
01:12:51He's wrong.
01:12:52He has to be wrong.
01:12:53Everyone in this world has their place.
01:13:15Their purpose.
01:13:18Maybe it's time I found mine again.
01:13:23Baby, when's the last time you ate something?
01:13:44I don't know.
01:13:46Breakfast.
01:13:47Yesterday's breakfast.
01:13:52That's enough for today.
01:13:53Okay.
01:13:58The prenatal instructor said this exercise should help.
01:14:02Okay.
01:14:03Like this?
01:14:04Uh, almost.
01:14:15Um, I think I need a little more instruction.
01:14:19Everything looks perfect.
01:14:44The baby's development's right on track.
01:14:47Really?
01:14:48Really?
01:14:49Really?
01:14:50Now that you're in the stable period, intimate relations is perfectly safe, as long as you're
01:14:56gentle.
01:14:57Just listen to your bodies and...
01:15:00Yes.
01:15:00Uh, thank you.
01:15:01Doctor.
01:15:07Everything will be open.
01:15:08Dr. Anderson?
01:15:17Dr. Anderson?
01:15:21Let's talk about Adrian Crawford's arrangement.
01:15:33Dr. Anderson, I hear that the new hospital complex is looking for department heads.
01:15:46Wouldn't it be a shame if your name was mysteriously removed from the list?
01:15:59Oh, my God.
01:16:02Now, about those hospital records.
01:16:06Oh, my God.
01:16:18Surrogacy. Surrogacy. Five generations of Crawford dignity destroyed by tabloid gossip.
01:16:40I knew that girl was hiding something. Did you? Did you really pay some nobody to carry your air? Tell me it isn't true. You. It's your doing. I... Adrienne.
01:17:08I need to discuss something with you. Privately.
01:17:19Adrienne. I can make all of this disappear. All you have to do is remember who you really belong with.
01:17:26Who I belong with.
01:17:27We were good together. We can't be again. Give me the position I deserve. As Mrs. Crawford by your side.
01:17:35I do need your help. Please, never show up again.
01:17:41I won't let them hurt you.
01:18:00It's not me I'm worried about.
01:18:02If they expose the truth about our arrangement, you could lose everything.
01:18:09Nothing's more important than you and our child.
01:18:11This emergency family meeting will come to order.
01:18:36I have proof.
01:18:39Miss Reed is not Adrienne's loving bride-to-be.
01:18:44She's just a surrogate.
01:18:46Paid to carry the Crawford heir.
01:18:52I have proof, too.
01:18:55Medical records from Crawford.
01:19:04Crawford.
01:19:05The medical center.
01:19:24Showing that Miss Reed.
01:19:29Underwent.
01:19:29Underwent.
01:19:35For which she was generously compensated.
01:20:05Paid surrogacy.
01:20:07Paid surrogacy.
01:20:09How come?
01:20:21I find you want the truth.
01:20:23Yes.
01:20:24It started with a surrogacy.
01:20:27But Lila.
01:20:28She's the woman I chose to be the mother of my child.
01:20:31And I won't let anyone here slander her.
01:20:35You want this arrangement?
01:20:36Fine.
01:20:38But then, it costs you everything.
01:20:51Resign from the company.
01:20:53Give up your inheritance.
01:20:54The child kissing the family, of course.
01:20:58But the mother, well, her services won't be required after delivery.
01:21:09Yes.
01:21:11I did the IVF treatment.
01:21:12But I never, never saw this baby as a business transaction.
01:21:21You know what?
01:21:22You can say whatever you want about me.
01:21:25But don't you dare question my love for this child.
01:21:29Don't you dare.
01:21:31Enough!
01:22:01I'm willing to give up everything, the company, the inheritance, all of it, but I won't give
01:22:20up her, she's my wife, the only one that I will ever want, we're getting married, properly,
01:22:30fine, you want to throw away everything, for this, for this woman, then you will get nothing
01:22:50from this family, nothing, sign it, renounce your inheritance, all of it,
01:23:00no, no, no, no, Adrian, stop, I'm not worth losing everything for, you're worth everything,
