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...
00:01:13Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun.
00:01:14All 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 out!
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.
00:01:55Tonight, it will be our big night.
00:01:58And I'll give him all of me.
00:02:00We'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:02:03A family of our own.
00:02:05We'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:02:07A family of our own.
00:02:09I'm so sorry.
00:02:19I'm so sorry.
00:02:19I'm so sorry.
00:02:20I'm so sorry.
00:02:26I'm so sorry.
00:02:28I'm so sorry.
00:02:30I don't know.
00:03:00I don't know.
00:03:30I don't know.
00:03:32I don't know.
00:03:34Oh, my God!
00:03:35Lala!
00:03:36You're early!
00:03:38Why so shocked, babe?
00:03:40You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:03:43Hm?
00:03:44Come and join us.
00:03:48Three years!
00:03:52Three years!
00:03:54Three years!
00:03:55I wasted on you!
00:03:57God, I'm such an idiot!
00:04:00I was thinking I was gonna have a baby!
00:04:02With you!
00:04:03Oh, baby!
00:04:06Sweetheart!
00:04:07You 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
00:04:21it's done.
00:04:22Screw you!
00:04:24I'm not gonna let you take this from me, too.
00:04:37You know what?
00:04:38I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:42One appointment?
00:04:43One sperm donor?
00:04:44I can have a baby of my own.
00:04:46Six months to produce an heir or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:05:03Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:05:08The surrogate candidates are all, for all the words, uh, Ivy League educated, impeccable
00:05:13health histories.
00:05:14I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:05:16I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:05:19Find me someone who knows your place and will disappear after delivery.
00:05:44Female singer Aunt
00:06:07Miss.
00:06:07Are you here for the interview?
00:06:09The interview.
00:06:13Yes, of course.
00:06:23Please sit.
00:06:29Right, let's get started.
00:06:35Hey, 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?
00:06:48I 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.
00:07:08Why 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?
00:07:23It's a craft novel.
00:07:23I can show you how out.
00:07:26Thompson, leave us.
00:07:31What 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.
00:07:50I work you out five times a week.
00:07:52As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:08:01Now Thompson is gone.
00:08:04Are you comfortable to share yours?
00:08:07Um, yes.
00:08:08Of course.
00:08:10Um, I'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.
00:08:21You 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.
00:08:47I know.
00:08:47I know it's not a lot of money, but considering the quality, I could help.
00:08:54I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:08:56Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:09:05All 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.
00:09:18You want to keep my baby?
00:09:20Are you insane?
00:09:26That'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.
00:09:37You came to what?
00:09:39I thought you were a donor.
00:09:41That's why I was asking you all the questions about the history and stuff.
00:09:45I 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.
00:10:02I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford, not somebody else's.
00:10:09Ah, you might need that.
00:10:16Clean this up.
00:10:21Bring in the next.
00:10:30Hello?
00:10:30Ms. Reed, your father, you need to come now.
00:10:35Okay, I'm coming.
00:10:57Doctor, how is he? How is my father?
00:10:58The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:11:03Then do something. Save him. Is there a treatment you can do?
00:11:09There is a new treatment.
00:11:11Okay, then let's do it.
00:11:13But maybe it's quite expensive.
00:11:15How much?
00:11:16Around one million dollars.
00:11:18A million dollars?
00:11:20Yes.
00:11:21Can I get a loan or something?
00:11:25Actually, this is a new technology and there is no loan policy. Sorry.
00:11:28Yes.
00:11:29Yes.
00:11:29Yes.
00:11:30Yes.
00:11:37Yes.
00:11:45No.
00:11:47This is the last batch.
00:12:10Yes sir, the blonde want to know about ring sizes.
00:12:14And Brunette asked about moving in.
00:12:19And the redhead...
00:12:20All of them want the Crawford name.
00:12:23No one's qualified.
00:12:27She was refreshing.
00:12:29No pretense.
00:12:31No schemes.
00:12:33But she wasn't even here for surrogacy.
00:12:36Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job.
00:12:44Hello.
00:12:51I'm the Reed.
00:12:54I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:12:56I've been thinking.
00:13:06I've been thinking.
00:13:09About yesterday, I may have been a bit hasty.
00:13:12You're reconsidering.
00:13:14Don't sound so smug about it.
00:13:15I have my reasons.
00:13:17As do I.
00:13:18I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:13:26What kind of modification?
00:13:28Joint 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.
00:13:40Qualities 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.
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.
00:13:57Don't flutter yourself.
00:13:59God, rich man in their egos.
00:14:01Father.
00:14:02The board is getting impatient.
00:14:07Have 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.
00:14:21The Crawford name means something.
00:14:24I won't let it be tainted by...
00:14:26I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:14:28What?
00:14:29We'll discuss this at dinner.
00:14:33Did I just get promoted from surrogate to fiancé?
00:14:41Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just say,
00:14:45just parents, nothing more?
00:14:48The situation requires...
00:14:52adaptation.
00:14:53Hmm.
00:14:54Is that CEO talk for I change my mind?
00:14:56If we need a convincing story,
00:14:58you'll be staying at my house during the pregnancy.
00:15:00And after the baby comes?
00:15:02We'll arrange for an amicable separation,
00:15:04continue parenting,
00:15:06and I'll arrange for any additional compensation for the complexity.
00:15:10The original amount is fine,
00:15:13but I am gonna need it soon.
00:15:16Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:15:19Wow.
00:15:20I think my whole apartment could fit in this entryway.
00:15:23Wow.
00:15:24I think my whole apartment could fit in this entryway.
00:15:29Well, well, well, well.
00:15:31Missed me so much, you tracked me down.
00:15:33Can't get over it.
00:15:34I can't get over it.
00:15:35Can't get over it.
00:15:36What?
00:15:37Oh no, I can't get over it.
00:15:38How about the story?
00:15:39Oh, how about the end of the story?
00:15:40The answer is that you can't get over it.
00:15:41I know, I know.
00:15:42What?
00:15:43How about the game?
00:15:44What?
00:15:45What's the matter?
00:15:46Well, well, well.
00:15:56Missed 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...
00:16:10What are you doing here?
00:16:13Sweetheart, this is my family's house.
00:16:15I'm sure you know that.
00:16:18You 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!
00:16:30Playing hard to get used to be cute, but now?
00:16:33Come on, baby. We both know this is what you came here for.
00:16:38Uncle, what are you doing?
00:16:40Get your filthy hands off my fiancée!
00:16:42You're... you're... what?
00:16:46Fiancée?
00:16:50Fiancée? How could she be your fiancée?
00:16:52She's just...
00:16:52Watch 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.
00:17:06Want more word?
00:17:08You can kiss that trust fund.
00:17:09Goodbye.
00:17:10You alright?
00:17:28Yeah, so...
00:17:30Ethan.
00:17:32He's your nephew.
00:17:34Then he's your...
00:17:36Well, he was...
00:17:38He's kinda...
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, someone bring your things in shortly.
00:17:51Um, so...
00:17:58Where 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.
00:18:12Real roommates.
00:18:16Don't worry.
00:18:18I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:18:19What 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.
00:19:11My plan worked perfectly.
00:19:14Wait.
00:19:17How did I...
00:19:19Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:19:23Sir, are you okay?
00:19:29Fine.
00:19:30Fine.
00:19:32Continue.
00:19:33Continue.
00:19:41Stay on your side.
00:19:43Lila.
00:19:51Lila.
00:19:51Lila.
00:19:52Wake up.
00:19:53Please.
00:19:54Lila, please.
00:19:56Control.
00:20:06This is the next game.
00:20:18Control.
00:20:19Sorry.
00:20:20Sorry.
00:20:21Didn't see you there.
00:20:28You're always in the way.
00:20:42Oh, my brother's mysterious fiancee.
00:20:49Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:50Catherine, please.
00:20:52We're family now.
00:20:53Supposedly.
00:20:54Helen, tea, please.
00:20:57Yes, 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.
00:21:16Dear, 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?
00:21:26Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved.
00:21:33The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:21:46Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrienne's fiancee, your presence is required.
00:21:54I'd be honored.
00:21:55Hmm.
00:21:56Perfect.
00:21:58I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:22:04You can go now.
00:22:16Excuse me, Miss Rie.
00:22:18I need to clean.
00:22:19Of course.
00:22:20Let me just move this.
00:22:21Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:22:30How creative.
00:22:32Must be hard on your family.
00:22:34Watching you chase after rich men.
00:22:37Let me help you with this.
00:22:38The dress.
00:22:39The dress.
00:22:40The dress.
00:22:41How clumsy of me.
00:22:43You did that on purpose.
00:22:44Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:22:47You're just some trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:51Oh.
00:22:54Mr. Crawford.
00:22:55She just attacked me.
00:22:59I was trying to help with it.
00:23:01Get out.
00:23:02But I was just.
00:23:03One more word and you're fired.
00:23:06Get out.
00:23:07What 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.
00:23:25You 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?
00:23:51How's the happy couple?
00:24:06Oh, that's awkward.
00:24:10Just 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.
00:24:18Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:22Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:48Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:25:15Mr. 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.
00:25:32I can come in if you need me to.
00:25:35Come in.
00:25:36Come in.
00:25:36Come in.
00:25:45So, you want to help?
00:25:48Of course.
00:25:49What, what do you need me to?
00:25:54Oh, you're...
00:25:56Oh, you're...
00:25:57I'm, I'm so sorry.
00:25:59I didn't, I didn't realize.
00:26:00I'm just, I'm just gonna just go somewhere.
00:26:04I just need you somewhere very far.
00:26:06Ah, it's fine.
00:26:10Well, that was helpful.
00:26:11Are you okay?
00:26:19Yeah.
00:26:20Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:26:23It's causing you pain.
00:26:24Yeah, it's, it's a little uncomfortable.
00:26:27But I mean, it will, it will pass.
00:26:30Oh.
00:26:30Here.
00:26:33Oh, okay.
00:26:34Okay.
00:26:34Oh, I can't.
00:26:47Thanks.
00:26:51Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically a work-related issue.
00:26:57And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:04Purely professional care.
00:27:30Purely professional, huh?
00:27:50Adrian.
00:27:53Um, about this weekend...
00:27:55I'm sorry, there's an emergency in Atlanta.
00:27:57The merge is falling apart.
00:27:59Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:28:03Your 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 heiress, 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?
00:28:30Retail?
00:28:31Worse.
00:28:32A 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, though.
00:28:49I apologize for the sight delay.
00:29:07My, my.
00:29:09Trying 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.
00:29:20And 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.
00:29:43I 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?
00:29:58How much?
00:29:59How much will it take you to disappear?
00:30:03Name 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.
00:30:29Getting all dressed up for me, baby.
00:30:36What'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.
00:30:58Runs off me, bastard!
00:31:00Careful, girl.
00:31:02One scream from you, and everyone at dinner is going to know what kind of girl you really are.
00:31:08Now, where were we?
00:31:10Everything all right, dear?
00:31:20You look flushed.
00:31:22So, as I was saying about the muscles...
00:31:27Stop it!
00:31:30Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:31:33Stop it!
00:31:36Enough!
00:31:37No class?
00:31:39No 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 pursued her.
00:31:56Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:32:00Adrian.
00:32:02If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:32:05You want to 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.
00:32:17She, uh, refused me several times.
00:32:20Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:32:22First woman who dared to stand out to me, and that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:32:27How do you meet me?
00:32:28I don't know.
00:32:28I don't know.
00:32:29I don't know.
00:32:30I don't know.
00:32:31I don't know.
00:32:32Sir, two things.
00:32:33Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner, and your jet is ready.
00:32:36You can go now.
00:32:37Cancel it, Lance.
00:32:38What's the merger?
00:32:39Yes, sir.
00:32:40It's funny that last week's family dinner were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:32:54Something'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?
00:33:15What are you talking about?
00:33:16What are you talking about?
00:33:17We've been dating for three years.
00:33:19I have pictures of us together.
00:33:21What?
00:33:22She probably planned this from the start, dating me to get close to the family, then setting
00:33:28her sights higher.
00:33:29You manipulative little troll.
00:33:30Face it, Uncle.
00:33:31You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:36Face it, Uncle.
00:33:37You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:43Face it, Uncle.
00:33:44You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:51That's for every lie you just told.
00:33:57Adrian!
00:33:58How dare you hit my son!
00:33:59Where do you think you're going?
00:34:00We are not finished here yet!
00:34:02Yes, we are.
00:34:06I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:34:11Thank you for coming back, and for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:34:21Your hands, what happened?
00:34:36As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:41I expect you to use them.
00:34:43I... I didn't want to presume.
00:34:45You're a Crawford now.
00:34:47Dr. Anderson.
00:34:58Mr. Crawford.
00:34:59The embryos are ready, so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:35:04I see.
00:35:05I see.
00:35:08What is it?
00:35:09Is 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?
00:35:25I think that we should go to bed.
00:35:32We have a really big day tomorrow.
00:35:35So...
00:35:37I mean...
00:35:39Goodnight.
00:35:44You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit.
00:35:49Focus on the procedure.
00:35:52Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:36:01There.
00:36:03See that white spot?
00:36:06That's our baby.
00:36:13You know, I can walk.
00:36:15Doctor's orders?
00:36:16You seem more nervous than I do.
00:36:22I'm merely following medical procedure.
00:36:34Look at her.
00:36:36She's acting like a princess.
00:36:39She was probably a waitress last week.
00:36:44Now she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:36:51She was seriously aggressive.
00:36:53I wonder if it was hard to do.
00:36:55She said I did not need a princess.
00:36:57My darling.
00:36:59Didn't you ask her?
00:37:01She's rising.
00:37:03The baby, she's rising.
00:37:05She's rising.
00:37:07She has another giant princess.
00:37:09It's the baby's age.
00:37:11She's rising.
00:37:12She's rising.
00:37:14I'm rising.
00:37:16They're rising.
00:37:18She's rising.
00:37:19She's rising.
00:37:20Adrian!
00:37:22Mmm, not quite.
00:37:24Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:37:26Let go of me!
00:37:28Come on, you used to love
00:37:30being in my arms.
00:37:32Remember how we would spend hours at the cafe?
00:37:34You would lean into me
00:37:36while reading your favorite book?
00:37:38Did she?
00:37:42Adrian! I was just getting food, I swear.
00:37:48Get out!
00:37:50Ah!
00:37:52Stomach.
00:37:54Lila, what's wrong?
00:37:56My stomach, I think that there's something wrong.
00:37:58If anything,
00:38:00ANYTHING,
00:38:02happens to my fiancé or child,
00:38:04I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:38:06And you,
00:38:08what you want,
00:38:10you'll never have.
00:38:12Never.
00:38:14Mmm.
00:38:16Child.
00:38:18Three years,
00:38:20she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:38:22And a few weeks,
00:38:24with my uncle,
00:38:26and she's carrying his child.
00:38:28Well...
00:38:30It's not gonna happen.
00:38:32It's not gonna happen.
00:38:34It's not gonna happen.
00:38:44Thompson,
00:38:45clear my schedule.
00:38:46Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:48What happened?
00:38:50Do you need my help?
00:38:51You can't help on this one.
00:38:52Just do what I say.
00:38:54You and Ethan,
00:38:56you've never really gotten along,
00:38:58have you?
00:39:00Why is that?
00:39:02You seem very concerned about him.
00:39:06I-I just-
00:39:08Just get some rest.
00:39:09It's been a rough day for you.
00:39:10Adrian,
00:39:12why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:39:14No reason.
00:39:16I just know you're not like that.
00:39:18Thanks.
00:39:20Get some rest.
00:39:22Do whatever makes you comfortable.
00:39:24Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:39:26Anything I want?
00:39:28Are you sure about that?
00:39:30Anything I want?
00:39:32Are you sure about that?
00:39:47What the-
00:40:00What are you doing?
00:40:02This isn't nutritious.
00:40:04The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:07The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:09Yeah.
00:40:10And chips and ice cream.
00:40:12You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you?
00:40:17I've been researching optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:40:20See, week by week guidelines.
00:40:22Okay, okay, okay.
00:40:24How about a compromise?
00:40:25One treat per day.
00:40:27Half a treat.
00:40:29Three quarters.
00:40:31Three quarters.
00:40:54Congratulations.
00:40:55The fetus is developing perfectly.
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 some pre-natal exercise.
00:41:07What kind of exercise?
00:41:09Now, hold her from behind in a maternal pose.
00:41:15Maybe we should skip this part.
00:41:25I'm here to train.
00:41:26Let's do it properly.
00:41:27Guide her arms up.
00:41:29This is a little implant.
00:41:41And now, the supporting stretch.
00:41:43The Musical.
00:41:44The musical is called the
00:41:47March of your age.
00:41:48Oh, my god.
00:41:50Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:41:55Maybe we should continue this at home?
00:42:00Yeah.
00:42:01Please.
00:42:02Please.
00:42:20The charity gala isn't a test.
00:42:24Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:42:32You look perfect.
00:42:49Just be yourself.
00:42:55Then this, this is not me.
00:43:02It's been too long.
00:43:22You look exactly the same.
00:43:39And you must be the fiancé.
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, more than anyone else.
00:44:02Oh 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 Colford was engaged.
00:44:16I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:44:17When is the wedding?
00:44:18Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancé, Lila Reid.
00:44:33We're expecting our first child, and of course you're all welcome to the wedding.
00:44:38She's pregnant?
00:44:39Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:44:42I just assumed congratulations for you both.
00:44:49Adrienne Colford in a complete unknown?
00:44:52How did you manage that?
00:44:54Adrienne chose for over Vivian.
00:44:55Is he crazy?
00:44:57Oh, Benji, how have you been?
00:45:00Great.
00:45:00Let's go, Vivian.
00:45:08They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:45:12Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:45:19Gentlemen!
00:45:20What are you all talking about?
00:45:21They do look like the perfect couple.
00:45:42Drinking?
00:45:43I thought you were pregnant.
00:45:45None of your business.
00:45:46You 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?
00:46:06Perfect couple, right?
00:46:10Until...
00:46:10Vivian fell madly in love with me.
00:46:16Leaving dear Uncle Heartbroken.
00:46:20Since then,
00:46:21whatever I want,
00:46:23he has to take.
00:46:25Whatever I have,
00:46:27he has to win.
00:46:29Like you.
00:46:31What you want,
00:46:32you never have.
00:46:35Never.
00:46:36You and Ethan,
00:46:37you've never really
00:46:38gone along, have you?
00:46:41You don't get it.
00:46:43Stop being naive.
00:46:45You're just his tool for revenge.
00:46:46I'm just his tool for revenge.
00:46:57I'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?
00:47:16Oh, now you can't.
00:47:20It's soda.
00:47:21I know what I'm doing.
00:47:22What happened back there?
00:47:39Talk to me.
00:47:41Lila,
00:47:42I am worried.
00:47:44So you talked to Ethan,
00:47:45but not me.
00:47:45You do care so much
00:47:49about your nephew,
00:47:51don't you?
00:48:05Lila,
00:48:06open the door.
00:48:07Please.
00:48:11Please.
00:48:11We lost that season of goals
00:48:32I don't want to get it
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, just for the baby?
00:49:09Leather, 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
00:49:34Okay, so I'm just...
00:49:36Vivian and I were...
00:49:38Sir, the Singapore Marjorie is falling apart
00:49:45We need you immediately
00:49:46I'm in the middle of summer
00:49:48The board is threatening to pull out
00:49:50I'll be there
00:49:57We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back
00:50:01Of course, business first
00:50:03Lila
00:50:05Just go
00:50:09Sir, there have been complications
00:50:24Explain
00:50:25During your absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members
00:50:30Suggesting your sudden marriage plans indicate a stable decision making
00:50:35Several executors are questioning if someone so personally distracted should and hurt the company
00:50:43Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing my personal life
00:51:03Your sudden access has let me be very clear
00:51:08This company took a 40% profit loss before I took over
00:51:18Within three years, I tripled our market share
00:51:21Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge, my execution, my strategies
00:51:29So yes, I am getting married
00:51:32And yes, I took some time off
00:51:34And no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability
00:51:42Because without me, there wouldn't be a company left to inherit
00:51:48Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:51:54No, shall we discuss the merger?
00:52:10No, shall we discuss the merger?
00:52:14No, shall we discuss the merger?
00:52:19Adrian! 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.
00:53:07That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:53:23She's nothing but a broodmare.
00:53:25After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:53:30Adrian needs someone who understands this world. Someone like me.
00:53:36Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow. Non-negotiable.
00:53:42She will follow you every day, just like before.
00:53:45And your little pet project can't stay home and just state that's all she's good for.
00:53:51Get out! Both 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.
00:54:08Tomorrow, 9am, Vivian starts. No discussion.
00:54:14Is that all?
00:54:17At all.
00:54:18Yes, for now.
00:54:19But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:47Stop it. Stop checking.
00:55:01This is ridiculous.
00:55:04I was independent before.
00:55:06I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep.
00:55:13No!
00:55:14I'm not going to be that girl.
00:55:19I can make my own meals.
00:55:22I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:55:29A broodmare.
00:55:34Way to get back at Ethan.
00:55:39Hello!
00:55:40I'm fine!
00:55:41You're not fine.
00:55:42Hospital!
00:55:43Now!
00:55:44I'm fine!
00:55:45Thanks.
00:55:46I know we've had our differences but I really appreciated you today.
00:55:53You know.
00:55:54You used to look at me like that.
00:55:56All sweet.
00:55:57Sincere.
00:55:58Don't.
00:55:59Why not?
00:56:00Is there really no chance for us?
00:56:01Ethan.
00:56:02Laila.
00:56:03Laila.
00:56:04Laila.
00:56:05He's just using you.
00:56:06You're his revenge against me.
00:56:07A tool.
00:56:08And you deserve better than me.
00:56:09Adrian!
00:56:10Stop!
00:56:11What are you doing?
00:56:12What are you doing?
00:56:13Protecting you.
00:56:14From what?
00:56:15He's helping.
00:56:16He brought me here.
00:56:17My hand was so bleeding.
00:56:18So now you're defending him.
00:56:19No.
00:56:20I'm defending him.
00:56:21No I'm defending the truth.
00:56:22sometimes....
00:56:28But what do I do in flashin' time?
00:56:32Sid speaking.
00:56:33Even the heck.
00:56:35He's my pick.
00:56:36No.
00:56:37Man.
00:56:38You are helping me.
00:56:40Out.
00:56:43Why not?
00:56:45Is there really no chance for us?
00:56:46I guess people surprise you.
00:56:49I see.
00:56:51Adrian.
00:56:53I'll call the doctor to come.
00:56:59I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring,
00:57:01bring the OBGYN down immediately.
00:57:04Sir, it's just the one to come.
00:57:06I want a full prenatal checkup.
00:57:08I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson.
00:57:09He's going to be down here in 10 minutes.
00:57:12Always so controlled, aren't you, Uncle?
00:57:15Well, some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:57:21Remember our beach dates?
00:57:25How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:57:31Thompson, bring in the catering, the Michelin star one.
00:57:35Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:57:39Oh, well done.
00:57:40No 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.
00:57:48BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:57:50She likes to watch it when she's still stressed.
00:57:53Which is why I upgraded our home theater system
00:57:55to have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:57:59You did what?
00:58:00Wow!
00:58:01Using money to get to her heart.
00:58:06Huh, Uncle?
00:58:11Oh, the Alzheimer's ring is fully renovated.
00:58:14Named after Lila's grandmother.
00:58:16As she mentioned.
00:58:17Oh, it's a fully funded.
00:58:20Anonymous donor.
00:58:21He may be able to offer you money,
00:58:28but you're gonna miss this.
00:58:30Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:58:46Oh, my God.
00:58:47I'm smart enough.
00:58:47I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins.
00:58:51They should arrive shortly.
00:58:53They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:58:56Wow.
00:58:57You remembered all that about me.
00:58:59I remember everything about you.
00:59:05Maybe you should come back
00:59:06when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:59:10Guys, she's tired.
00:59:11We should leave.
00:59:12Let her rest.
00:59:22Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:59:25Or does he actually care?
00:59:36Yes, Father?
00:59:45Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:59:48Overwork, they say,
00:59:49from 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
00:59:59to the woman I chose for you,
01:00:01or else I will have to call
01:00:03an emergency board meeting.
01:00:06You 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
01:00:34when I was on Will?
01:00:34That 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,
01:00:44but it won't work.
01:00:46What we had,
01:00:47I never took it as seriously
01:00:49as you pretended to.
01:00:51But Lila, she's different.
01:00:54She's real.
01:00:56Pregnant gold digger is real?
01:00:58Please.
01:00:59Please.
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.
01:01:27Daddy.
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.
01:01:39Is it that Ethan boys?
01:01:41No.
01:01:42No.
01:01:42Then who?
01:01:43It doesn't matter.
01:01:45But what does matter
01:01:46is 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,
01:02:05if I could work.
01:02:07Daddy, don't.
01:02:10But the hospital bills,
01:02:11what are you getting money for?
01:02:14Don't tell me you sold yourself
01:02:16to some men.
01:02:16No, 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
01:02:42the rest of his life
01:02:42making sure your daughter
01:02:43and our child
01:02:44get everything they deserve.
01:02:46Pretty words
01:02:47from a rich man.
01:02:49Not words.
01:02:50Facts.
01:02:51I've already arranged a transfer
01:02:52to a private medical facility.
01:02:53Full treatment plan,
01:02:55best specialists.
01:02:56Adrian.
01:02:57And I promise you this.
01:03:01Every morning,
01:03:02she's going to wake up
01:03:03knowing that she is cherished.
01:03:05Every decision I make,
01:03:06every step I take
01:03:07will 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
01:03:18I can stop worrying now.
01:03:20Thank you
01:03:28for
01:03:29what you said in there.
01:03:31I know you were just
01:03:32trying to make my father
01:03:33feel better.
01:03:34No, no, no, no.
01:03:35I wasn't just doing anything.
01:03:37Every word I said in there
01:03:38is true.
01:03:40Adrian.
01:03:46Laila,
01:03:46I need to tell you something.
01:03:47I've been falling for you
01:03:50ever since you crashed
01:03:51into my office
01:03:51with that ridiculous
01:03:53donor questionnaire.
01:03:55Yes, we had a contract,
01:03:56but
01:03:56I realized
01:03:58you'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
01:04:17Ethan
01:04:18and Vivian?
01:04:19What about them?
01:04:23Aren't you trying to
01:04:24just get revenge
01:04:25on Ethan
01:04:25and anything you said?
01:04:26Revenge?
01:04:27I never loved Vivian.
01:04:29And Ethan,
01:04:29he's not worth
01:04:30a second thought.
01:04:31Really?
01:04:33Then who was the guy
01:04:34I saw competing
01:04:35with Ethan?
01:04:39That was...
01:04:40I was jealous,
01:04:46okay?
01:04:47The thought of you
01:04:48with him.
01:04:50Wow.
01:04:51The great
01:04:51Mr. Crawford,
01:04:53jealous.
01:04:54Don't mention it.
01:04:55I have a reputation
01:04:56to maintain.
01:04:56Hmm.
01:04:57I'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
01:06:09about your little
01:06:09ex-girlfriend
01:06:10that might interest you.
01:06:12Is this about her
01:06:13and my uncle?
01:06:14It's about how
01:06:14she 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
01:06:24is a lie.
01:06:26A contract.
01:06:30The board would love
01:06:31to hear about this.
01:06:34Next week's family meeting.
01:06:36He'll reveal everything.
01:06:38Until then,
01:06:39let's gather more evidence.
01:06:43And once he's ruined...
01:06:45I'll comfort him.
01:06:46Help him rebuild.
01:06:48He'll remember
01:06:49who he truly belongs with.
01:06:50And Lila?
01:06:56Well, once the truth's out,
01:06:58she'll be worthless to him.
01:07:00You can have
01:07:00your little toy back.
01:07:04Cheers.
01:07:05Um, Ethan's in meetings
01:07:23all afternoon.
01:07:24That's okay.
01:07:25I don't mind waiting.
01:07:27These documents require
01:07:29his immediate attention.
01:07:30Would you mind
01:07:35getting me some tea, dear?
01:07:42Sorry to see agreements.
01:07:44I'm going to call contracts.
01:07:47Come on.
01:07:49The train's
01:07:50always so organized.
01:07:52Where is everything?
01:07:53I'm going to be
01:07:53in a minute.
01:08:00It's just a stupid cat.
01:08:05Are you okay?
01:08:16You're a beast.
01:08:18Attempt me.
01:08:19I need your bathroom.
01:08:22Now.
01:08:22Atrian.
01:08:32I've been waiting for you.
01:08:42You know,
01:08:42if you need an heir,
01:08:45we could make one.
01:08:47Right here.
01:08:49Right now.
01:08:50Lil doesn't have to know.
01:08:54She's already asleep.
01:08:57It could just be
01:08:58our
01:08:58little
01:08:59secret.
01:09:02Here.
01:09:03In the living room.
01:09:07Wherever you want.
01:09:09So when I see us.
01:09:10Are you scared?
01:09:11I know somewhere
01:09:17more
01:09:17private.
01:09:26Where are we going?
01:09:28Can't risk being
01:09:29interrupted,
01:09:30can we?
01:09:31Ladies first.
01:09:32Enjoy 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.
01:09:50Stop filming me.
01:09:52This is harassment.
01:09:53I will sue you.
01:09:54I will sue you so hard.
01:09:55Adrian.
01:09:59Adrian.
01:10:00Adrian.
01:10:01Adrian, let me in.
01:10:10Everyone,
01:10:11this crisis
01:10:12could have destroyed us.
01:10:14But thanks to your
01:10:15tireless efforts,
01:10:17Crawford
01:10:17is stronger than ever.
01:10:19to the best team
01:10:20in the business.
01:10:25Though,
01:10:26speaking of
01:10:27tonight's celebration,
01:10:30there's something
01:10:30you all should be
01:10:31prepared for.
01:10:33For what?
01:10:35My uncle
01:10:36is bringing
01:10:37his fiancee tonight.
01:10:39The thing is,
01:10:40her and I
01:10:41were together
01:10:41until very recently.
01:10:44I know.
01:10:46I know.
01:10:47I know.
01:10:48But please,
01:10:49when they arrive,
01:10:51act normal.
01:10:52I couldn't bear
01:10:53any drama.
01:10:54She left you
01:10:55for your uncle.
01:10:58These things happen.
01:11:01Everyone,
01:11:02I'd like to introduce
01:11:04you to my fiancee,
01:11:06Lila Reed.
01:11:07Hello, everybody.
01:11:07It's lovely to meet you all.
01:11:09I need to check
01:11:10some numbers.
01:11:14Did I do
01:11:15something wrong?
01:11:18How are you feeling?
01:11:26Is the morning sickness
01:11:27over yet?
01:11:28I'm fine.
01:11:30You know,
01:11:31I've been worried.
01:11:33All this stress
01:11:34can't be good for the baby.
01:11:37Which hospital
01:11:38are you using?
01:11:39I could drive you next time.
01:11:41That's
01:11:42not necessary.
01:11:43Come on.
01:11:45We used to tell
01:11:46each other everything.
01:11:48Just want to make sure
01:11:49you're getting
01:11:49the proper care.
01:11:51If I know her hospital,
01:11:52then I can get
01:11:53her surrogate history.
01:11:55How thoughtful.
01:11:56But Adrian handles
01:11:57all my appointments
01:11:58personally.
01:12:00The real
01:12:00hero of the hour.
01:12:02Whoa!
01:12:02Whoa!
01:12:07Beautiful,
01:12:09isn't she?
01:12:10The type of woman
01:12:11who belongs
01:12:11in Adrian's world.
01:12:14Excuse me.
01:12:16You know
01:12:17how my uncle thinks.
01:12:19Like a chess master.
01:12:21Every piece
01:12:22has its use.
01:12:24Some
01:12:24for business.
01:12:26Others
01:12:26for...
01:12:28You don't
01:12:28know him.
01:12:30Oh,
01:12:30but I do.
01:12:32Adrian Crawford
01:12:33cares exactly
01:12:34about one person.
01:12:36Adrian Crawford.
01:12:37He sees people
01:12:38as investments.
01:12:39Vivian?
01:12:40Perfect
01:12:41for managing
01:12:42the company.
01:12:43You?
01:12:44Well,
01:12:45I think we both
01:12:47know what your role is.
01:12:51He's wrong.
01:12:52He has to be wrong.
01:13:10everyone in this world
01:13:14has their place.
01:13:15Their purpose.
01:13:18Maybe it's time
01:13:19I found mine again.
01:13:19Maybe when's the last time
01:13:42you ate something.
01:13:44I don't know.
01:13:46Breakfast.
01:13:47Yesterday's breakfast.
01:13:48That's enough for today.
01:13:54Okay.
01:13:58The prenatal
01:13:59instructor said
01:14:00this exercise
01:14:01should help.
01:14:02Okay.
01:14:03Like this?
01:14:04Uh,
01:14:05almost.
01:14:05I think I need
01:14:17a little more
01:14:18instruction.
01:14:19Um,
01:14:19I think I need
01:14:21a little more instruction.
01:14:23I think I need
01:14:25a little more instruction.
01:14:27everything looks perfect.
01:14:44The baby's development's
01:14:46right on track.
01:14:47Really?
01:14:48Really?
01:14:49Really?
01:14:50Now that you're
01:14:51in the stable period,
01:14:53intimate relations
01:14:54is perfectly safe
01:14:55as long as
01:14:56you're gentle.
01:14:57Just listen to
01:14:58your bodies
01:14:59and...
01:15:00Yes.
01:15:00Ah,
01:15:00thank you.
01:15:01Doctor.
01:15:01Dr. Anderson.
01:15:21Let's talk about
01:15:31Adrian Crawford's
01:15:33arrangement.
01:15:34Was it a
01:15:35surrogacy contract?
01:15:39Mr. Harrington.
01:15:41Doctor patient
01:15:42confidentiality.
01:15:43Hmm.
01:15:44I hear
01:15:45that the new
01:15:47hospital complex
01:15:48is looking for
01:15:49department heads.
01:15:51Wouldn't it be a shame
01:15:53if your name was
01:15:54mysteriously removed
01:15:57from the list?
01:16:02Now,
01:16:03about those
01:16:04hospital records.
01:16:05Surrogacy.
01:16:33Surrogacy.
01:16:34Surrogacy.
01:16:34Five generations
01:16:36of Crawford dignity
01:16:37destroyed
01:16:39by tabloid gossip.
01:16:42I knew that girl
01:16:42was hiding something.
01:16:47Did you?
01:16:48Did you really
01:16:49pay some nobody
01:16:50to carry your heir?
01:16:53Tell me
01:16:54it isn't true.
01:17:02You.
01:17:03it's your doing.
01:17:04It's your doing.
01:17:06I...
01:17:06Adrian.
01:17:10I need to discuss
01:17:11something with you.
01:17:12Privately.
01:17:19Adrian.
01:17:20I can make
01:17:21all of this
01:17:21disappear.
01:17:22All you have to do
01:17:23is remember
01:17:24who you really
01:17:25belong with.
01:17:26Who I belong with.
01:17:26We were good together.
01:17:28We can't be again.
01:17:30Give me the position
01:17:31I deserve.
01:17:33As Mrs. Crawford
01:17:34by your side.
01:17:37I do need your help.
01:17:38Please
01:17:39never show up again.
01:17:41I won't let them hurt you.
01:17:59It's not me I'm worried about.
01:18:03If they expose the truth
01:18:04about our arrangement,
01:18:05you could lose everything.
01:18:06nothing's more important
01:18:10than you and our child.
01:18:11I can't.
01:18:21No.
01:18:21What we have that
01:18:22is.
01:18:25I cannot either
01:18:26or
01:18:27what buy them
01:18:27or
01:18:28I canSmallify.
01:18:29A
01:18:30see.
01:18:31This emergency
01:18:33family meeting
01:18:35will come to order.
01:18:36I have proof.
01:18:39Miss Reed is not Adrian's loving bride-to-be.
01:18:44She's just a surrogate, paid to carry the Crawford heir.
01:18:53I have proof, too.
01:18:55Medical records from Crawford.
01:19:05Crawford.
01:19:06Crawford's medical center.
01:19:24Showing that Miss Reed underwent...
01:19:36...for which she was generously compensated.
01:19:50...for which she was generously compensated.
01:19:54...for which she was generously compensated.
01:20:06Paid surrogacy.
01:20:08How come?
01:20:09I find you want the truth.
01:20:22Yes, it started with a surrogacy.
01:20:24But Lilo, she's the woman I chose to be the mother of my child.
01:20:30And I won't let anyone here slander her.
01:20:34You want this arrangement?
01:20:36Fine.
01:20:39But then, it costs you everything.
01:20:51Resign from the company.
01:20:52Give up your inheritance.
01:20:54Yes.
01:20:55The child can see in the family.
01:20:57Of course.
01:20:58But the mother, well, her services won't be required after delivery.
01:21:02Yes, I did the IVF treatment.
01:21:12But I never, never saw this baby as a business transaction.
01:21:16You know what?
01:21:17You can say whatever you want about me, but don't you dare question my love for this child.
01:21:37Enough!
01:21:44Enough!
01:21:46Enough!
01:22:07Enough!
01:22:10I'm willing to give up everything.
01:22:12The company.
01:22:14The inheritance.
01:22:15All of it.
01:22:19But I won't give up her.
01:22:22She's my wife.
01:22:24The only one that I would ever want.
01:22:27We're getting married.
01:22:29Properly.
01:22:31Publicly.
01:22:33Fine.
01:22:35You want to throw her away-
01:22:37If you pay everything for this, for this woman, then you will get nothing from this family.
01:22:52Nothing!
01:22:53Sign it.
01:22:55Renounce your inheritance.
01:22:56All of it.
01:23:00No, no, no, no, no, Adrian, stop.
01:23:03Not worth losing everything for.
01:23:05You're worth everything.
01:23:07The company, the assets, I built them once.
01:23:13I can build them again.
01:23:15But you, you and our child, you're our real future.
01:23:24Still time to think it over, son.
01:23:34Let's go.
01:23:35Let's go.
01:23:37Thanks.
01:23:56Thanks.
01:23:57You've been at this for hours.
01:24:01I just gotta finish this last chapter.
01:24:07I'll get you some food.
01:24:08What do you mean you're cancelling the contract?
01:24:21We've worked together for 10 years!
01:24:26No, no, no, no.
01:24:27Don't call Adrian.
01:24:28Hello?
01:24:29Hello?
01:24:30Hello?
01:24:31Hello?
01:24:31The Singapore merger just collapsed.
01:24:34They say they'll only work with Adrian.
01:24:36This is all your fault.
01:24:37You and your billion plan to get rid of them.
01:24:40My fault?
01:24:41You're the one who can't handle basic accounting.
01:24:43Enough!
01:24:45The board meeting starts in five minutes.
01:24:47Please tell me you have good news.
01:24:49Oh my god, this story sounds exactly like a powerful scandal.
01:25:03Wait, is this about the Adrian Crawford?
01:25:06The Billionaire CEO giving up everything for love and crying.
01:25:12Is everything okay?
01:25:17I think I just went viral.
01:25:21He heard out stories about us.
01:25:23Look!
01:25:25Should I be concerned about what else you've revealed about me?
01:25:28Have you seen the comments?
01:25:45They're calling us heartless villains!
01:25:47Can't believe they're trying to suppress our true love businesses.
01:25:53Crawford Industries lost my business.
01:25:55Team Adrian, all the way.
01:25:57Yes, Penguin Publishing.
01:26:00Um, sorry, I actually have Random House on the other line, so I'm gonna have to...
01:26:04The movie rights?
01:26:08Um, I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to call you right back.
01:26:11Okay, thank you.
01:26:12The movie rights!
01:26:14What?
01:26:15Oh my god.
01:26:16My wife is so popular now.
01:26:17I know.
01:26:23Your father?
01:26:27Son, the board wants you back.
01:26:30Take your position.
01:26:32Your inheritance.
01:26:34I'll have to ask my wife.
01:26:38What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:26:39First order of business.
01:26:46Starting without me.
01:26:48Perfect timing.
01:26:49I'm announcing your termination.
01:26:52You can't fire me.
01:26:54I'm a shareholder and a senior executive.
01:26:57The company crisis last month wasn't an accident.
01:27:00You and Ethan deliberately sabotaged our deals.
01:27:03You can't prove any great email, every call, every secret meeting without competitors.
01:27:10All documented.
01:27:12Lawsuit's already been filed.
01:27:14You and Ethan will be hearing from our lawyers.
01:27:15You and Ethan will be hearing from our lawyers.
01:27:26Oh my god.
01:27:33Adrian, I think my water just broke.
01:27:39Come home.
01:27:42Mr. Crawford, the vote for new director.
01:27:44For her, he'd drop everything.
01:27:55Including a multi-billion dollar card.
01:28:06Before we vote, there is something you should know.
01:28:10Adrian and Lila were legally married two months ago.
01:28:16And they have my full blessing.
01:28:20Both my girls still awake?
01:28:40I'm just finishing.
01:28:42I'm out.
01:28:49And Ivory, if you could see me, will you wait.
01:28:53I'm out.
01:28:56I'm out.
