Transcript
00:00:00Surrogacy? What's surrogacy?
00:00:02Harvard Business School.
00:00:04MBA. Top of class.
00:00:06As for...
00:00:08intimate matters,
00:00:11I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:00:15Three years I've loved him.
00:00:17Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:00:20But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:00:22I know he loves me.
00:00:30Oh my god!
00:00:34Three 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?
00:00:44I can have a baby of my own.
00:00:49Understand this clearly.
00:00:51We'll be parents, nothing more.
00:00:58Surrogacy.
00:00:59Five generations of Crawford dignity
00:01:02Destroyed by tabloid gossip!
00:01:06Adrian,
00:01:07I can make all of this disappear.
00:01:10Perfect couple, right?
00:01:11Until...
00:01:13All you have to do is remember
00:01:16who 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 me.
00:01:26Get up!
00:01:27Three years.
00:01:37Three years I've loved him.
00:01:39Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:01:41That a man like him only loves himself.
00:01:43But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:01:48I know he loves me.
00:01:51Thank you so much.
00:01:53I really, really appreciate it.
00:01:56Tonight, 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.
00:02:03A family of our own.
00:02:05I'm so sorry.
00:02:24I'm so sorry.
00:02:25Oh, my God.
00:02:55Oh, my God.
00:03:25Oh, my God.
00:03:36Lala, you're Earl.
00:03:39Why so shocked, babe?
00:03:41You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:03:44Come and join us.
00:03:53Three years.
00:03:54Three years.
00:03:55I wasted on you.
00:03:58God, I'm such an idiot.
00:04:01I 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.
00:04:13Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs,
00:04:18these lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:04:23Screw you.
00:04:36I'm not going to let you take this from me, too.
00:04:38You 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 throwlers, so I believe you're educated.
00:05:14Impeccable 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.
00:05:30Ah!
00:05:30Ah!
00:05:38Miss,
00:06:07Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:06:09The interview?
00:06:10Yes, of course.
00:06:11The interview?
00:06:12Yes, of course.
00:06:23Please, sit.
00:06:30Right, let's get started.
00:06:33Hey.
00:06:34Hey.
00:06:35Um, education background.
00:06:37Excuse me?
00:06:38And I'm gonna need a full medical history, specifically genetic disorders.
00:06:41Do you work out?
00:06:42I mean, you look acceptable.
00:06:43Hmm.
00:06:44Hmm.
00:06:45Hmm.
00:06:46Hmm.
00:06:47Hmm.
00:06:48Hmm.
00:06:49Hmm.
00:06:50Hmm.
00:06:51Hmm.
00:06:52Hmm.
00:06:53Hmm.
00:06:54Hmm.
00:06:55Hmm.
00:06:56Hmm.
00:06:57Hmm.
00:06:58Do you have any idea who I am?
00:07:00I'm just trying to be thorough
00:07:03It's about creating a healthy baby after all
00:07:07Why are attractive men so full of themselves
00:07:11I don't care if you're Brad Pitt
00:07:15I need to know your reproductive history
00:07:17So, sexual partners in the last six months
00:07:22Mr. Crawford, I can't show her out
00:07:25Thompson, leave us
00:07:28What are you doing?
00:07:33Making sure this interview is more thorough
00:07:36Harvard Business School, MBA, top of class
00:07:47No family history of genetic disorders
00:07:49I work you out five times a week
00:07:52As for intimate matters
00:07:57I can assure you performance has never been an issue
00:08:01Now Thompson is gone
00:08:04Are you comfortable to share yours?
00:08:06Yes, of course
00:08:09I'm perfectly healthy too
00:08:14No genetic disorders
00:08:16And I get regular checkups
00:08:18I've even been taking prenatal vitamins
00:08:21You really do seem like the perfect match
00:08:27Good
00:08:28Now, regarding compensation
00:08:31What figure did you have in mind?
00:08:34Well, I was thinking around $800
00:08:38$800
00:08:40I expected the fee to be significantly higher
00:08:45I know
00:08:47I know it's not a lot of money
00:08:49But considering the quality
00:08:51I could help
00:08:54I can do paperwork
00:08:55Whatever
00:08:55Talk to me
00:08:56Bring in the contracts
00:08:58All of this?
00:09:07Seriously?
00:09:08Take your time to review
00:09:10But the key point
00:09:12Is after birth
00:09:13The child stays with me
00:09:15No contact
00:09:16You want to keep my baby?
00:09:20Are you insane?
00:09:26That's standard procedure for surrogacy arrangements
00:09:29Surrogacy?
00:09:31Surrogacy
00:09:32The position you're interviewing for
00:09:34Interview?
00:09:35I'm hated by sperm
00:09:37You came to what?
00:09:39I thought you were a donor
00:09:41That's why I was asking you all the questions
00:09:43About the history and stuff
00:09:45I thought you were here to be my surrogate
00:09:48Right
00:09:49Well, I guess
00:09:51I guess I've made a mistake
00:09:53So I'm just gonna go
00:09:55Wait
00:09:55A million dollars
00:10:00For carrying my child
00:10:02I want my own baby
00:10:06Mr. Crawford
00:10:07Not somebody else's
00:10:09Ah
00:10:11You might need that
00:10:12Clean this up
00:10:21Bring in the next
00:10:23Hello?
00:10:31Miss Reed
00:10:31Your father
00:10:32You need to come now
00:10:34Okay, I'm coming
00:10:36Doctor, how is he?
00:10:58How is my father?
00:11:00The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment
00:11:03Then do something
00:11:05Save him
00:11:06Is there a treatment you can do?
00:11:09There is a new treatment
00:11:10Okay
00:11:11Then let's do it
00:11:12But maybe it's quite expensive
00:11:14How much?
00:11:16Around one million dollars
00:11:17A million dollars?
00:11:20Yes
00:11:20Can I get a loan or something?
00:11:25Actually, this is a new technology
00:11:26And there is no loan policy
00:11:28Sorry
00:11:28Sorry
00:11:29I don't know.
00:11:59I don't know.
00:12:29I don't know.
00:12:30Refreshing.
00:12:31No pretense.
00:12:32No schemes.
00:12:33But she wasn't even here for surrogacy.
00:12:37Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job.
00:12:43Hello.
00:12:53Hi, The Reed.
00:12:54I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:12:56I've been thinking.
00:13:06I've been thinking.
00:13:10About yesterday, I may have been a bit hasty.
00:13:13You're reconsidering.
00:13:14Don't sound so smug about it.
00:13:16I have my reasons.
00:13:18As do I.
00:13:22I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:13:27What kind of modification?
00:13:29Joint custody.
00:13:30You wouldn't be just carrying the child.
00:13:32You'd be the baby's mother.
00:13:33Why would you agree to that?
00:13:35You're honest.
00:13:36Direct.
00:13:37No hidden agenda.
00:13:40The qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:13:43So I'd really get to be a part of the baby's life?
00:13:45Yes.
00:13:46But understand this clearly.
00:13:48We'll be parents.
00:13:49Nothing more.
00:13:50No romantic entanglements.
00:13:53No emotional expectations.
00:13:56Don't flutter yourself.
00:13:59God, rich man in their egos.
00:14:06Father.
00:14:07The board is getting impatient.
00:14:09Have you considered the arrangements I suggested?
00:14:13I've already made my own plans.
00:14:15Adrian.
00:14:16If you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
00:14:22The Crawford name means something.
00:14:24I won't let it be tainted by...
00:14:27I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:14:29What?
00:14:30We'll discuss this at dinner.
00:14:34Did 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.
00:14:53Hmm.
00:14:54Is that CEO talk for I change my mind?
00:14:57If we need a convincing story, you'll be staying at my house during the pregnancy.
00:15:01And 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.
00:15:18Welcome 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.
00:15:56Missed me so much, you tracked me down.
00:16:03Can't get over me, huh?
00:16:07Following me here like a lost puppy?
00:16:09Following you?
00:16:10Why would I...
00:16:11What are you doing here?
00:16:13Sweetheart.
00:16:14This is my family's house.
00:16:16I'm sure you know that.
00:16:18Hmm.
00:16:19You never let me have sex with you.
00:16:21But look at you now, sneaking into my house.
00:16:25Finally realize what you're missing, baby?
00:16:27Get your hands off me, you creep!
00:16:30Hmm.
00:16:31Playing hard to get used to be cute, but now?
00:16:34Come on, baby.
00:16:35We both know this is what you came here for.
00:16:38Uncle!
00:16:39Uncle!
00:16:40What are you doing?
00:16:41Get your filthy hands off my fiancé!
00:16:44Your...
00:16:45Your...
00:16:46What?
00:16:47Fiancé?
00:16:50Fiancé?
00:16:51How could she be your fiancé?
00:16:52She's just...
00:16:53Watch your mouth.
00:16:55Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:16:57This is crazy!
00:16:58You seriously don't know!
00:16:59I won't repeat myself.
00:17:00Stay away from my fiancé.
00:17:01One more word?
00:17:02You can kiss that trust fund.
00:17:03Goodbye.
00:17:04Shhh.
00:17:05You all right?
00:17:06Yeah.
00:17:07No more word, you can kiss that trust fund.
00:17:10Goodbye.
00:17:28You all right?
00:17:30Yeah, so, Ethan, he's your nephew.
00:17:35And then he's your...
00:17:37Well, he was, he's kind of...
00:17:40He was my boyfriend.
00:17:42I mean, ex-boyfriend.
00:17:43I mean, like, extremely ex-ex-boyfriend.
00:17:47I see.
00:17:50Tom, so we'll bring your things in shortly.
00:17:53Sorry.
00:17:56Um, so, where am I staying?
00:18:01Here.
00:18:04What?
00:18:05Unless 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.
00:18:15Don't worry.
00:18:16I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:18:17Don't worry.
00:18:18I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:18:22What are you doing?
00:18:23This is the line.
00:18:24Don't cross it.
00:18:25Ever.
00:18:26For sure.
00:18:27Good.
00:18:28Good.
00:18:29Good.
00:18:30Good.
00:18:31Good.
00:18:32What are you doing?
00:18:47This is the line.
00:18:49Don't cross it.
00:18:51Ever.
00:18:52For sure.
00:18:54Good.
00:19:02My plan worked perfectly.
00:19:16Wait.
00:19:18How did I...
00:19:19Sir, are you okay?
00:19:31Fine.
00:19:32Continue.
00:19:41Stay on your side.
00:19:49Lila, wake up.
00:19:55Lila, please.
00:19:56What?
00:20:16Control.
00:20:16This is making control.
00:20:19Sorry.
00:20:22Didn't see you there.
00:20:40You're always in the way.
00:20:42Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancée.
00:20:49Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:51Catherine, please.
00:20:52We're family now.
00:20:54Supposedly.
00:20:56Helen, tea, please.
00:20:58Yes, Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:58So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrienne meet exactly?
00:21:07Through mutual friends.
00:21:11Oh, really?
00:21:12Mutual friends.
00:21:13Dear, what friend of Adrienne's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:21:22Unless this is more of a business arrangement?
00:21:26I'm sorry?
00:21:27Well, 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.
00:21:38Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrienne's fiancée, your presence is required.
00:21:54I'd be honored.
00:21:55Hmm.
00:21:57Perfect.
00:21:58I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:22:04You can go now.
00:22:05Excuse me, Miss Rie.
00:22:18I need to clean.
00:22:19Of course.
00:22:20Let me just...
00:22:21Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:22:30How creative.
00:22:31Must be hard in your family, watching you chase after rich men.
00:22:37Let me help you with this.
00:22:39My friends!
00:22:41How clumsy of me.
00:22:43You did that on purpose.
00:22:45Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:22:47You're just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:54Mr. Crawford, she just attacked me.
00:22:57I was trying to help with the...
00:23:01Get out!
00:23:02But I was just...
00:23:03One more word and you're fired.
00:23:06Get out.
00:23:15What happened?
00:23:16Nothing.
00:23:17I need some space.
00:23:18I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:23:20Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:23:21I need some space.
00:23:23You take the bed.
00:23:27I'll take the sofa.
00:23:29I miss you so much, Daddy.
00:23:32Don't worry about me, okay?
00:23:34As long as we can get you better,
00:23:36I won't let their words get to me.
00:23:38I promise.
00:23:40Lila, what happened?
00:23:42What should I do?
00:23:43What should I do?
00:23:43How's the happy couple?
00:24:06Oh, that's awkward.
00:24:08Just a small thing.
00:24:12Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:24:15It's okay.
00:24:16I'm here.
00:24:18You're safe.
00:24:21Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:34Shit.
00:24:35Shit.
00:24:35Shit.
00:24:35Shit.
00:24:35Shit.
00:24:35Shit.
00:24:36Shit.
00:24:36Shit.
00:24:36Shit.
00:24:37Shit.
00:24:37Shit.
00:24:38Shit.
00:24:38Shit.

00:24:41Shit.
00:24:41Shit.
00:24:41Shit.
00:24:42Shit.
00:25:07Focus.
00:25:08This is just a simple medical procedure.
00:25:13Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:25:19Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:25:22Um, yeah, I'm fine.
00:25:24I just need some assistance.
00:25:27Oh, do you need my help?
00:25:29No, uh, I didn't mean.
00:25:31Are you sure?
00:25:31Honestly, it's fine.
00:25:32Honestly, it's fine.
00:25:33I can come in if you need me to.
00:25:36Come in.
00:25:45So, you want to help?
00:25:48Of course.
00:25:49What, what do you need me to?
00:25:50Oh, you're...
00:25:51Oh, you're...
00:25:51Oh, you're...
00:25:55Oh, you're...
00:25:56I'm...
00:25:57I'm so sorry.
00:25:58I didn't...
00:25:59I didn't realize.
00:26:00I'm just...
00:26:01I'm just gonna...
00:26:02Just go somewhere.
00:26:03I just need you.
00:26:04Somewhere very far.
00:26:05Hey.
00:26:06Ah!
00:26:07It's fine.
00:26:09Well, that was helpful.
00:26:17Are you okay?
00:26:18Yeah.
00:26:19Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:26:22It's causing you pain.
00:26:24Yeah, it's...
00:26:25It's a little uncomfortable.
00:26:26But I mean, it will...
00:26:27It will pass.
00:26:29Oh.
00:26:30Here.
00:26:33Okay.
00:26:38Oh.
00:26:46Thanks.
00:26:51Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement.
00:26:53And any resulting pain is technically a work-related issue.
00:26:56And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:27:01Okay.
00:27:08Purely professional care.
00:27:29Hmm...
00:27:30Hmm...
00:27:31Hmm...
00:27:32Hmm...
00:27:33Hmm...
00:27:34Ooh...
00:27:35Hmm...
00:27:36Hmm...
00:27:37Hmm...
00:27:38Mm...
00:27:39Hmm...
00:27:40Hmm...
00:27:41Hmm...
00:27:42Um...
00:27:43Hmm...
00:27:44Hmm...
00:27:46Hmm...
00:27:46Hmm...
00:27:47Hmm...
00:27:48Hmm...
00:27:49Hmm...
00:27:50Anything?
00:27:52Uh...
00:27:53Hmm...
00:27:54Hmm...
00:27:55Where do you think about this weekend?
00:27:56I'm sorry. There is an emergency in Atlanta.
00:27:57The... The 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.
00:28:11Well, 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.
00:28:27What did you say she did, Ethan? Retail?
00:28:31Worse. A wannabe writer.
00:28:34She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:28:41Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:28:44I had the chef prepare her place setting and everything.
00:28:47She probably couldn't figure out which work to do.
00:28:57I apologize for the slight delay.
00:29:07My, my. Trying so hard to look the part.
00:29:12James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner.
00:29:16I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:29:19And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breeding.
00:29:24Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:29:31Oh, darling.
00:29:32A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:29:35How quaint.
00:29:37At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian's socks.
00:29:43I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable.
00:29:50Integrity.
00:29:51Integrity.
00:29:52Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:29:55How much, how much will it take you to disappear in your price?
00:30:06The 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.
00:30:24You can do this.
00:30:31Mm-hmm.
00:30:33Getting all dressed up for me.
00:30:36Baby.
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.
00:30:53Remember how shy you were?
00:30:56Always saying no.
00:30:58Run off me, bastard!
00:31:00Careful now.
00:31:01One scream from you and everyone at dinner is going to know what kind of girl you really are.
00:31:07Now.
00:31:08Where were we?
00:31:18Everything all right, dear?
00:31:19You look flushed.
00:31:21So, as I was saying about the muscles.
00:31:25Stop it.
00:31:26Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:31:27Stop it.
00:31:28Stop it.
00:31:29Stop it.
00:31:30Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:31:31Stop it.
00:31:32Enough.
00:31:33No class?
00:31:34No manners?
00:31:35I don't know how you seduced my son, but someone like you could never deserve a place in this family.
00:31:47I...
00:31:48I...
00:31:49I'm the one who pursued her.
00:31:56Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:32:01Adrienne.
00:32:02If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:32:05You wanna know how we met?
00:32:06She 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, refused me several times.
00:32:19Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:32:22First woman who dared to stand out to me.
00:32:24And that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:32:31Sir, two things.
00:32:32Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner.
00:32:35And your jet is ready.
00:32:36You can go now.
00:32:42Cancel it last.
00:32:43What's the merger?
00:32:47Yes, sir.
00:32:48Funny that last week family's dinners were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:32:58Something's more important than business.
00:33:04Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:33:07Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:33:14What are you talking about?
00:33:16We've been dating for three years.
00:33:19I have pictures of us together.
00:33:25What?
00:33:26She probably planned this from the start.
00:33:29Dating me to get close to the family, then setting her sights higher.
00:33:33You manipulative little troll.
00:33:35Face it, Uncle.
00:33:36You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:42Face it, Uncle.
00:33:43You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:51That's for every lie you just told.
00:33:56Adrian!
00:33:57How dare you hit my son!
00:33:59Where do you think you're going?
00:34:00We are not finished here yet!
00:34:01Yes, we are!
00:34:08I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:34:10Thank you for coming back.
00:34:12And for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:34:15Your hands, what happened?
00:34:20Your hands, what happened?
00:34:37As my fiance, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:40I expect you to use them.
00:34:43I... I didn't want to presume.
00:34:45You're a Crawford now.
00:34:57Dr. Anderson.
00:34:59Mr. Crawford.
00:35:00The embryos are ready, so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:35:05I see.
00:35:08What is it? Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:11I've been thinking.
00:35:13Perhaps we should approach this matter in a more natural manner.
00:35:20Between the husband and wife.
00:35:24What are your thoughts?
00:35:28I think that we should go to bed.
00:35:32We have a really big day tomorrow.
00:35:34So...
00:35:37I mean...
00:35:38Goodnight.
00:35:44You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit.
00:35:48Focus on the procedure.
00:35:52Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:35:54There.
00:35:55See that white spot?
00:35:59That's our baby.
00:36:00You know, I can walk.
00:36:02Doctor's orders?
00:36:03You seem more nervous than I do.
00:36:05Merely following the medical procedure.
00:36:06Merely following the medical procedure.
00:36:08Look at her.
00:36:09She's acting like a girl.
00:36:10She's acting like a girl.
00:36:12You know, I can walk.
00:36:14Doctor's orders?
00:36:15You seem more nervous than I do.
00:36:17Merely following the medical procedure.
00:36:20Look at her.
00:36:21She's acting like a princess.
00:36:22She was probably a waitress last week.
00:36:23Now she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:36:25Merely following the manual and the manual.
00:36:26You don't care.
00:36:27She's a baker for sure.
00:36:28You don't care.
00:36:30Look at her.
00:36:31She's acting like a princess.
00:36:32She was probably a waitress last week.
00:36:33Merely following the medical procedure.
00:36:34Merely following the manual.
00:36:35Merely following as a man.
00:36:36Merely following the manual,
00:36:37Merely following the manual,
00:36:38She looks awesome.
00:36:39Is this right here?
00:36:40She looks like a girl.
00:36:41You are back here.
00:36:42Yes, I see.
00:36:43Merely following the manual.
00:36:44Her name is the king in the monitor.
00:36:46It's necessary.
00:36:47She's the king in the courtroom.
00:36:48In the room.
00:36:49Still the mailer.
00:36:50She was an asshole.
00:36:51I see.
00:36:52I see.
00:36:53The owner.
00:36:54No.
00:36:55Adrian!
00:36:57Hmm, not quite.
00:36:59Looking a bit on stage.
00:37:21Adrian!
00:37:23Not quite. Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:37:25Let go of me!
00:37:27Come on, you used to love being in my arms.
00:37:31Remember how we would spend hours at the cafe?
00:37:34You would lean in to me while reading your favorite book?
00:37:37Did she?
00:37:41Adrian! I was just getting food, I swear.
00:37:47Get out!
00:37:53Stomach.
00:37:55Lila, what's wrong?
00:37:57In my stomach, I think that there's something wrong.
00:37:59If anything, anything,
00:38:01happens to my fiancé or child,
00:38:03I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:38:05It's better than you.
00:38:07What you want,
00:38:09you'll never have.
00:38:11Never.
00:38:17Child.
00:38:18Three years, she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:38:20In a few weeks,
00:38:22with my uncle,
00:38:24and she's carrying his child.
00:38:26You want the perfect family.
00:38:28Well...
00:38:30It's not gonna happen.
00:38:32Thompson,
00:38:42clear my schedule.
00:38:44Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:46Sir, what happened?
00:38:48Do you need my help?
00:38:49You can't help on this one.
00:38:50Just do what I say.
00:38:52You and Ethan,
00:38:54you've never really gotten along, have you?
00:39:01Why is that?
00:39:08You seem very concerned about him.
00:39:10I... I just...
00:39:12Just get some rest.
00:39:13It's been a rough day for you.
00:39:14Adrian,
00:39:15why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:39:19No reason.
00:39:21I just know you're not like that.
00:39:22Thanks.
00:39:24Get some rest.
00:39:26Do whatever makes you comfortable.
00:39:27Anything at all,
00:39:28I'll be around.
00:39:30Anything I want?
00:39:31Are you sure about that?
00:39:45What the...
00:40:00What are you doing?
00:40:02This isn't delicious.
00:40:04The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:06The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:09And chips and ice cream.
00:40:12You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you?
00:40:14I've been researching optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:40:19See?
00:40:20Week by week.
00:40:21Guidelines.
00:40:22Okay, okay, okay.
00:40:23How about a compromise?
00:40:25One treat per day.
00:40:27Half a treat.
00:40:29Three quarters.
00:40:31Bye.
00:40:32Oh.
00:40:39Bye.
00:40:40Missouri.
00:40:45Three quarters.
00:40:53Theagen Frontiers.
00:40:54Congratulations!
00:40:55The fetus is developing perfectly.
00:40:56Giustorisazione Mohammedmaani!
00:40:57Really?
00:40:59Everything looks wonderful.
00:41:01Now that we're in the stable period,
00:41:03I would recommend you starting
00:41:05some prenatal exercise.
00:41:07What kind of exercise?
00:41:11Now,
00:41:13hold her from behind in a maternal pose.
00:41:21Maybe we should skip this part.
00:41:25Let's do it properly.
00:41:27Guide her arms up.
00:41:37This is a little intimate.
00:41:39And now,
00:41:41the supporting stretch.
00:41:43Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:41:57Maybe we should continue this at home.
00:41:59Yeah.
00:42:01Please.
00:42:03A charity gala isn't a test.
00:42:05Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:42:17You look perfect.
00:42:19You look perfect.
00:42:21Just be yourself.
00:42:23Just be yourself.
00:42:25You look perfect.
00:42:27You look perfect.
00:42:29Just be yourself.
00:42:33Then...
00:42:35This...
00:42:39This...
00:42:41This is not me.
00:42:43This is not me.
00:42:45This is not me.
00:42:47This is not me.
00:42:49This is not me.
00:42:51This is not me.
00:42:53This is not me.
00:42:55This is not me.
00:42:57This is not me.
00:42:59This is not me.
00:43:01This is not me.
00:43:03This is not me.
00:43:04This is not me.
00:43:06This is not me.
00:43:07This is not me.
00:43:09You look at me.
00:43:10This is not me.
00:43:11This is not me.
00:43:12This is not me.
00:43:13Or you�g, I'm...
00:43:15You're making me.
00:43:17I'm making me innovation.
00:43:19Hey, tree.
00:43:21It's been too long.
00:43:23Oh.
00:43:27You look exactly the same.
00:43:30And you must be the fiancée.
00:43:42I'm so pleased Adrienne has found someone after all these years.
00:43:46That's really kind, but I'm sorry.
00:43:49Who are you?
00:43:52I'm just someone who cares about Adrienne's happiness.
00:43:55More than anyone else.
00:44:00Oh, my God.
00:44:05You two are finally back together.
00:44:08Everyone, look who's here, the golden couple.
00:44:13I heard Adrienne Corford was engaged.
00:44:16I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:44:18When is the wedding?
00:44:22Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancée, Lala Reid.
00:44:30We're expecting our first child, and of course, you're all welcome to the wedding.
00:44:38She's pregnant?
00:44:40Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:44:42I just assumed congratulations for you both.
00:44:49Adrienne Corford in a complete unknown?
00:44:52How did you manage that?
00:44:54Adrienne chose her over Vivian.
00:44:55Is he crazy?
00:44:56Oh, Benji, how have you been?
00:45:00Great.
00:45:01Let's go, Pam.
00:45:08They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:45:12Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:45:13Gentlemen, what are y'all talking about?
00:45:27They do look like the perfect couple.
00:45:37Drinking?
00:45:43I thought you were pregnant.
00:45:45None of your business.
00:45:50You know how Adrienne is.
00:45:52Always has to win.
00:45:54Especially against me.
00:45:56He hates when I take things from him.
00:45:58What are you talking about?
00:45:59Perfect couple, right?
00:46:09Until...
00:46:10Dun-dun-dun...
00:46:13Vivian fell madly in love with me.
00:46:17Leaving dear Uncle heartbroken.
00:46:20Since then, whatever I want, he has to take.
00:46:25Whatever I have, he has to win.
00:46:28Like you.
00:46:31What you want, you never have.
00:46:35Never.
00:46:36You and Ethan, you've never really...
00:46:39Gone along, have you?
00:46:41You don't get it.
00:46:43Stop being naive.
00:46:45You're just his tool for revenge.
00:46:49Shh.
00:46:49I'm just his tool for revenge?
00:46:57What do you think you're doing?
00:47:13You are pregnant.
00:47:14Why are you drinking?
00:47:15Oh, now you can't.
00:47:17Shh.
00:47:20It's soda.
00:47:21I know what I'm doing.
00:47:35What happened back there?
00:47:39Talk to me.
00:47:39Lila, I am worried.
00:47:44So you talk to Ethan, but not me.
00:47:48Oh, you do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:47:51Come on.
00:47:52Why don't you open the door?
00:48:04Rila, open the door.
00:48:10Please.
00:48:11We walked that season by ghosts
00:48:32I'd walk it in
00:48:41The eggs are still warm
00:48:45I apologize about last night, I was just worried about you
00:48:51Worried about me or worried about the baby?
00:48:57What do you mean?
00:48:59Is this why you're being so nice to me?
00:49:02Making me breakfast, being all protective
00:49:06It's just for the baby?
00:49:09Leila, you've been so strange since yesterday, why?
00:49:14Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:49:21Yes
00:49:29And then she got with Ethan?
00:49:33Yes
00:49:35Great, so I'm just...
00:49:36But Vivian and I were...
00:49:38No
00:49:39Sir, the Singapore version is falling apart
00:49:46We need you immediately
00:49:47I'm in the middle of summer
00:49:48The board is threatening to pull out
00:49:51I'll be there

00:55:08to 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
00:55:26nutritional spreadsheets. A broodmare. 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 him. 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 the morning. Come. I want a full prenatal check-up.
00:57:07I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson. He's going to be down here in ten 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 still 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?
00:58:01Wow!
00:58:03Using money to get to her heart. Huh, Uncle?
00:58:11Oh, the Alzheimer's wing is fully renovated. Named after Lila's grandmother. As she mentioned.
00:58:17Oh, it's a fully funded. Anonymous donor.
00:58:23He may be able to offer you money, but you're gonna miss this.
00:58:29Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:58:33Just a smart enough.
00:58:35I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins. They should arrive shortly. They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:58:43Wow. He remembered all that about me.
00:58:45I remember everything about you.
00:58:47Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:58:49Guys, she's tired. We should leave. Let her rest.
00:58:53Is this normal?
00:58:55Is this normal?
00:58:57No.
00:58:59No.
00:59:01It's normal.
00:59:02No.
00:59:03No.
00:59:05No.
00:59:07No.
00:59:09No.
00:59:11No.
00:59:13No.
00:59:15No.
00:59:17Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:59:25Or does he actually care?
00:59:44Yes, father?
00:59:45Sir, Vivian'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.
00:59:58Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you,
01:00:01or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
01:00:05Oh, you came.
01:00:25Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
01:00:27I'm still 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.
01:01:16A little girl.
01:01:27Daddy.
01:01:28Hello.
01:01:30Your hand.
01:01:31It's nothing.
01:01:34I need to tell you something.
01:01:37I'm going to be a mother.
01:01:40Is it that Ethan boys?
01:01:41No, no.
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.
01:01:58I'm so sorry.
01:01:59I'm sorry I couldn't give you better.
01:02:04Daddy.
01:02:04If only I were healthy, if I could work.
01:02:07Daddy, don't.
01:02:09The hospital bills.
01:02:12What are you getting money from?
01:02:13Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:02:17No, no.
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.
01:02:29Hi, Mr. Reid.
01:02:30I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:02:31I'm the father of her child.
01:02:37Adrian.
01:02:39I'm not just the father.
01:02:41I'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.
01:02:54Full treatment plan.
01:02:55Best specialists.
01:02:57Adrian.
01:02:57And 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.
01:03:17Maybe I can stop worrying.
01:03:20Thank 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.
01:03:46Laila, I need to tell you something.
01:03:48I've been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
01:03:55Yes, 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.
01:04:09You're my partner.
01:04:12If you have me.
01:04:13But what about Ethan and Vivian?
01:04:19What about them?
01:04:23Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan and...
01:04:26Revenge?
01:04:27I never loved Vivian.
01:04:29And Ethan, he's not worth a second thought.
01:04:31Really?
01:04:33Then who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:04:36Oh.
01:04:39That was...
01:04:40That was...
01:04:42I was jealous, okay?
01:04:47I...
01:04:47The thought of you with him.
01:04:50Wow.
01:04:51The great Mr. Crawford.
01:04:53Jealous.
01:04:54Don't mention it.
01:04:55I have a reputation to make it.
01:04:56I'm not letting you go.
01:05:13Not ever.
01:05:22Surrogacy?
01:05:24Contract of marriage?
01:05:25Oh, this is too perfect.
01:05:27Oh, this is too perfect.
01:05:27Oh, this is too perfect.
01:05:55Whiskey.
01:06:04Neat.
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?
01:06:19He hired her.
01:06:21She's just a surrogate.
01:06:23Their whole engagement is a lie.
01:06:25A contract.
01:06:30The board would love to hear about this.
01:06:34Next week's family meeting.
01:06:36He'll reveal everything.
01:06:38Until then, let's gather more evidence.
01:06:43And once he's ruined...
01:06:45I'll comfort him.
01:06:47Help him rebuild.
01:06:48He'll remember who he truly belongs with.
01:06:50And Lila?
01:06:55Well, once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:07:00You can have your little toy back.
01:07:04Cheers.
01:07:05Um, Ethan's in meetings all afternoon.
01:07:24That's okay.
01:07:25I 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?
01:07:44No contracts.
01:07:45No contracts.
01:07:47Come on.
01:07:49The train's fully so organized.
01:07:52Where is everything?
01:08:01It's just a stupid cat.
01:08:03Are you okay?
01:08:16You're a beast!
01:08:18Attach me!
01:08:20I need your bathroom.
01:08:22Now!
01:08:22Atrian!
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.
01:08:47Right here.
01:08:49Right now.
01:08:50Lila 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?
01:09:04In the living room?
01:09:07Wherever you want.
01:09:09Someone might see us.
01:09:11Are you scared?
01:09:16I know somewhere more
01:09:17private.
01:09:20Where are we going?
01:09:28Can't risk being interrupted,
01:09:30can we?
01:09:32Ladies first.
01:09:37Enjoy the fresh air.
01:09:39Atrian!
01:09:40Atrian!
01:09:41You can't do this to me!
01:09:43I'm a Crawford executive!
01:09:44I'm a Crawford executive!
01:09:44Let's go.
01:09:51Stop filming me.
01:09:52This is harassment.
01:09:53I will sue you.
01:09:54I will sue you so hard!
01:09:55Please!
01:09:59Adrian!
01:10:00Adrian!
01:10:01Adrian, let me in!
01:10:02Everyone, 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?
01:10:35My uncle is bringing his fiancée 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.
01:11:02Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to my fiancée, Lila Reed.
01:11:07Hello everybody, it's lovely to meet you all.
01:11:10I 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?
01:11:40I 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.
01:12:40Vivian?
01:12:41Perfect 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.
01:13:16Their 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, doctor.
01:15:07Everything will be open.
01:15:08Dr. Anderson?
01:15:09Dr. Anderson?
01:15:22Dr. Anderson?
01:15:22Let's talk about Adrian Crawford's arrangement.
01:15:33Dr. Anderson, I hear that the new hospital complex is looking for department heads.
01:15:50Wouldn't it be a shame if your name was mysteriously removed from the list?
01:16:01Now, about those hospital records.
01:16:05Dr. Anderson, I hear that the new hospital Spider-Man timeline rules.
01:16:22Oh, my God.
01:16:24Oh, my God.
01:16:31Surrogacy. Surrogacy.
01:16:35Five generations of Crawford dignity destroyed by tabloid gossip.
01:16:42I knew that girl was hiding something.
01:16:47Did you?
01:16:49Did you really pay some nobody to carry your heir?
01:16:52Tell me it isn't true.
01:17:02You. It's your doing.
01:17:06I...
01:17:07Adrian.
01:17:10I need to discuss something with you. Privately.
01:17:13Adrian. 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.
01:17:30Give me the position I deserve.
01:17:33As 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.
01:18:12This emergency family meeting will come to order.
01:18:37I have proof.
01:18:39Miss Reed is not Adrian's loving bride-to-be.
01:18:44She's just a surrogate.
01:18:46Paid to carry the Crawford heir.
01:18:53I have proof too.
01:18:55Medical records from Crawford.
01:18:57Maryann's medical center.
01:19:24showing that Miss Reed
01:19:25underwent
01:19:29fertility treatment
