00:00:00Harvard Business School, MBA, top of class.
00:00:03As for intimate matters,
00:00:08I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:00:12Three years I've loved him.
00:00:14Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:00:17But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:00:19I know he loves me.
00:00:20Oh my god!
00:00:31Three years I've wasted on you!
00:00:34I'm not gonna let you take this from me too.
00:00:36I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:00:39One appointment, one sperm donor,
00:00:41I can have a baby of my own.
00:00:46Understand this clearly.
00:00:48We'll be parents, nothing more.
00:00:50Surrogacy.
00:00:56Five generations of Crawford dignity
00:00:59destroyed by tabloid gossip.
00:01:03Adrian, I can make all of this disappear.
00:01:07Perfect couple, right?
00:01:08Until...
00:01:10All you have to do is remember
00:01:13who you really belong with.
00:01:15That's for every lie you just told.
00:01:18Your fault!
00:01:19You have to feel the plan to get rid of me.
00:01:24Get up!
00:01:24Three years.
00:01:34Three years I've loved him.
00:01:36Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:01:38That a man like him only loves himself.
00:01:40But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:01:45I know he loves me.
00:01:47Thank you so much.
00:01:49I really, really appreciate it.
00:01:52Tonight, it will be our big night.
00:01:54And I'll give him all of me.
00:01:56We'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:01:58A family of our own.
00:02:00I'm so sorry.
00:02:02I'm so sorry.
00:02:16I'm so sorry.
00:02:46I don't know.
00:03:16Oh, my God!
00:03:33Lala, you're early.
00:03:36Why so shocked, babe?
00:03:38You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:03:41Hmm?
00:03:44Come and join us.
00:03:46Three years.
00:03:51Three years!
00:03:52I wasted on you!
00:03:54God, I'm such an idiot!
00:03:58I was thinking I was going to have a baby with you!
00:04:01Oh, baby?
00:04:04Sweetheart.
00:04:05You wouldn't even put out after three years,
00:04:07and now you're thinking about playing Mommy.
00:04:10Though...
00:04:10If you're finally ready to spread those legs...
00:04:14These lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:04:19Screw you!
00:04:21You!
00:04:33I'm not going to let you take this from me, too.
00:04:39You know what?
00:04:40I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:43One appointment, one sperm donor...
00:04:45I can have a baby of my own.
00:04:47Six months to produce an heir, or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:05:00Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:05:05The surrogate candidates are all, for other words,
00:05:08so...
00:05:09Ivy League are educated.
00:05:11Impeccable health histories.
00:05:12I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:05:14I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:05:17Find me someone who knows your place,
00:05:19and will disappear after delivery.
00:05:21I need someone who knows your history.
00:05:23What?
00:05:26Oh!
00:05:27Ah!
00:05:34Ah!
00:05:36Ah!
00:05:37Ah!
00:05:39Ah!
00:05:39Ah!
00:05:39Ah!
00:05:40Ah!
00:05:40Ah!
00:05:41Ah!
00:05:43Ah!
00:05:46Ah!
00:05:47Eh!
00:05:47Ah!
00:05:48Ah!
00:05:48Ah!
00:05:49Ah!
00:05:49Ah!
00:05:50Ah!
00:05:50Ah!
00:05:51Ah!
00:05:51Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:06:08The interview?
00:06:09Yes, of course.
00:06:14Yes.
00:06:16Okay.
00:06:21Please sit.
00:06:27Right, um, let's get started.
00:06:32Hey, um, education background.
00:06:36Excuse me?
00:06:37And I'm gonna need a full medical history, specifically genetic disorders, to work out.
00:06:45I mean, you look acceptable.
00:06:51Do you have any idea who I am?
00:06:57I'm just trying to be thorough.
00:07:01It's about creating a healthy baby, after all.
00:07:05Why are attractive men so full of themselves?
00:07:10I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:07:13I need to know your reproductive history.
00:07:15So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:07:20You said, Crawford, I can't show her out.
00:07:22Tom, leave us.
00:07:24What are you doing?
00:07:30Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:07:40Harvard Business School.
00:07:42MBA.
00:07:43Top of class.
00:07:44No family history of genetic disorders.
00:07:47I work you out five times a week.
00:07:49As for intimate matters, I can assure you, performance has never been an issue.
00:08:00Now Thompson is gone, are you comfortable to share yours?
00:08:04Um, yes.
00:08:06Of course.
00:08:07I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:08:11No genetic disorders, and I get regular checkups.
00:08:15Um, I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:08:20You really do seem like the perfect match.
00:08:24Good.
00:08:26Now, regarding compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
00:08:31Well, I was thinking around $800.
00:08:35I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:08:44I know, I know it's not a lot of money, but considering the quality, I could, I could help, I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:08:53Talk to me.
00:08:54Bring in the contracts.
00:08:55All of this?
00:09:04Seriously?
00:09:06Take your time to review, but the key point is after birth, the child stays with me.
00:09:12No contact.
00:09:15You want to keep my baby?
00:09:17Are you insane?
00:09:18That's standard procedure for surrogacy arrangements.
00:09:27Surrogacy?
00:09:28Surrogacy.
00:09:29The position you're interviewing for.
00:09:31Interview?
00:09:32I'm hated by sperm.
00:09:35You came to what?
00:09:36Uh, I thought you were a donor.
00:09:38That's why I was asking you all the questions about the history and stuff.
00:09:43I thought you were here to be my surrogate.
00:09:45Right, um, well, I guess, I guess I've, um, made a mistake, so I'm just gonna go.
00:09:52Wait!
00:09:56A million dollars for carrying my child.
00:10:01I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford, not somebody else's.
00:10:07Ah, you might need that.
00:10:15Clean this up.
00:10:19Bring in the next.
00:10:27Hello?
00:10:28Miss Reed, your father.
00:10:30You need to come now.
00:10:32Okay, I'm coming.
00:10:33I'm coming.
00:10:45Doctor, how is he?
00:10:55How is my father?
00:10:57The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:11:00Then, then do something.
00:11:02Save him.
00:11:03Is there, is there a treatment you can do?
00:11:06Uh, there is a new treatment.
00:11:08Okay, then, then let's do it.
00:11:10But maybe it's, uh, quite expensive.
00:11:12How much?
00:11:13Around one million dollars.
00:11:15A million dollars?
00:11:17Yes.
00:11:18Can I get a, a, a loan or something?
00:11:22Actually, this is a new technology.
00:11:24And there is no loan policy.
00:11:25Sorry.
00:11:25Sorry.
00:11:44This is the last batch.
00:12:07Yes, sir.
00:12:08The blonde want to know about ring sizes.
00:12:12And brunette asked about moving in.
00:12:16And the redhead.
00:12:17All of them want the Crawford name.
00:12:21It was qualified.
00:12:24She was refreshing.
00:12:27No pretense.
00:12:28No schemes.
00:12:29But she wasn't even here for surrogacy.
00:12:34Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job.
00:12:36Hello.
00:12:49Hello.
00:12:50I'm the Reed.
00:12:51I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:12:52I've been thinking.
00:13:03I've been thinking.
00:13:03I've been thinking.
00:13:06About yesterday.
00:13:08I may have been a bit hasty.
00:13:10You're reconsidering.
00:13:11Don't sound so smug about it.
00:13:13I have my reasons.
00:13:15As do I.
00:13:18I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:13:24What kind of modification?
00:13:26Joint custody.
00:13:27You wouldn't be just carrying the child.
00:13:29You'd be the baby's mother.
00:13:31Why would you agree to that?
00:13:32You're honest.
00:13:34Direct.
00:13:35No hidden agenda.
00:13:38Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:13:40So I'd really get to be a part of the baby's life?
00:13:42Yes.
00:13:43But understand this clearly.
00:13:45We'll be parents.
00:13:46Nothing more.
00:13:48No romantic entanglements.
00:13:50No emotional expectations.
00:13:54Don't flutter yourself.
00:13:57God.
00:13:57Rich man and their egos.
00:14:03Father.
00:14:04The board is getting impatient.
00:14:07Have you considered the arrangements I suggested?
00:14:10I've already made my own plans.
00:14:12Adrian.
00:14:13If you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
00:14:19The Crawford name means something.
00:14:21I won't let it be tainted by...
00:14:24I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:14:26What?
00:14:27We'll discuss this at dinner.
00:14:30Did I just get promoted from surrogate to fiancé?
00:14:34Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just say, just parents, nothing more?
00:14:45The situation requires adaptation.
00:14:50Hmm.
00:14:51Is that CEO talk for I change my mind?
00:14:54If we need a convincing story, you'll be staying at my house during the pregnancy.
00:14:58And after the baby comes?
00:15:00We'll arrange for an amicable separation, continue parenting, and I'll arrange for any additional compensation for the complexity.
00:15:08The original amount is fine, but I am going to need it soon.
00:15:14Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:15:29I think my whole apartment could fit in this entryway.
00:15:51Well, well, well.
00:15:53Missed me so much, you tracked me down.
00:15:55Can't get over me, huh?
00:16:03Following me here like a lost puppy?
00:16:06Following you? Why would I...
00:16:07What are you doing here?
00:16:10Sweetheart, this is my family's house.
00:16:13I'm sure you know about it.
00:16:15You never let me have sex with you.
00:16:18But look at you now, sneaking into my house.
00:16:22Finally realize what you're missing, baby?
00:16:24Get your hands off me, you creep.
00:16:27Playing hard to get used to be cute, but now?
00:16:30Come on, baby.
00:16:31We both know this is what you came here for.
00:16:35Uncle, what are you doing?
00:16:37Get your filthy hands off my fiancée.
00:16:41Your... your... what?
00:16:44Fiancée?
00:16:47Fiancée?
00:16:47How could she be your fiancée?
00:16:49She's just...
00:16:49Watch your mouth.
00:16:51Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:16:54This is crazy.
00:16:58You seriously don't know.
00:16:59I won't repeat myself.
00:17:01Stay away from my fiancée.
00:17:03Want more word?
00:17:05You can kiss that trust fund.
00:17:06Goodbye.
00:17:07You all right?
00:17:25Yeah, so...
00:17:27Ethan...
00:17:28Ethan...
00:17:29He's your nephew.
00:17:31Then he's your...
00:17:33Well, he was...
00:17:35He's kinda...
00:17:37He was my boyfriend.
00:17:39I mean, ex-boyfriend.
00:17:40I mean, like, extremely ex-ex-boyfriend.
00:17:43I see.
00:17:47Tom, someone bring your things in shortly.
00:17:48Sorry.
00:17:48Sorry.
00:17:50Um, so...
00:17:54Where am I staying?
00:17:58Here.
00:18:01What?
00:18:01Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple sleep in separate rooms.
00:18:07Oh, of course.
00:18:09Fake engagement.
00:18:09Real roommates.
00:18:13Don't worry.
00:18:15I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:18:16What are you doing?
00:18:44This is the line.
00:18:46Don't cross it.
00:18:48Ever.
00:18:49For sure.
00:18:51Good.
00:19:08My plan worked perfectly.
00:19:13Wait.
00:19:15How did I...
00:19:16Sir, are you okay?
00:19:28Fine.
00:19:29Continue.
00:19:38Stay on your side.
00:19:40Lila, wake up.
00:19:52Lila, please.
00:19:53Lila, please.
00:19:54What?
00:19:58Little school.
00:20:14This is me.
00:20:16Little school.
00:20:17Oh.
00:20:17Oh.
00:20:18Oh.
00:20:19Sorry, didn't see you there.
00:20:37You're always in the way.
00:20:42Ah, my brother's mysterious fiance.
00:20:46Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:47Catherine, please. We're family now. Supposedly.
00:20:52Helen, tea, please.
00:20:55Yes, Mrs. Crawford?
00:20:59So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:21:04Through mutual friends.
00:21:08Oh, really? Mutual friends.
00:21:10Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:21:19Unless this is more of a business arrangement.
00:21:23I'm sorry?
00:21:24Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved.
00:21:29The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:21:43Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiance, your presence is required.
00:21:49I'd be honoured.
00:21:52Hmm.
00:21:54Perfect.
00:21:55I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:22:01You can go now.
00:22:02Excuse me, Miss Rie.
00:22:15I need to clean.
00:22:16Of course.
00:22:17Let me just...
00:22:18This.
00:22:18Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:22:27How creative.
00:22:29Must be hiding your family.
00:22:31Watching you chase after rich men.
00:22:34Let me help you with this.
00:22:36My friends!
00:22:38How clumsy of me.
00:22:40You did that on purpose.
00:22:41Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:22:44You're just some trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:48Mr. Crawford, she just attacked me.
00:22:56I was trying to help with the...
00:22:58Get out!
00:22:59But I was just...
00:23:00One more word and you're fired.
00:23:03Get out.
00:23:12What happened?
00:23:13Nothing.
00:23:14I need some space.
00:23:15I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:23:17Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:23:18I need some space.
00:23:22You take the bed.
00:23:24I'll take the sofa.
00:23:26I miss you so much, Teddy.
00:23:29Don't worry about me, okay?
00:23:31As long as we can get you better,
00:23:33I won't let their words get to me.
00:23:35I promise.
00:23:37Lila, what happened?
00:23:39What should I do?
00:23:40How's the happy couple?
00:23:54How's the happy couple?
00:23:54Oh, that's more weird.
00:24:07Just a small thing.
00:24:09Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:24:12It's okay.
00:24:13I'm here.
00:24:15You're safe.
00:24:18Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:19You should be...
00:24:49Focus. This is just a simple medical procedure. Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:25:16Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:25:19Yeah, I'm fine. I just need some assistance.
00:25:24Oh, do you need my help?
00:25:26No, I didn't mean...
00:25:28Are you sure? Honestly, it's fine. I can come in if you need me to.
00:25:32Come in.
00:25:42So, you want to help?
00:25:45Of course. What do you need me to...
00:25:48Oh, you're...
00:25:53Oh, you're...
00:25:54I'm so sorry. I didn't realize. I'm just gonna just go somewhere. I just need you. Somewhere very far.
00:26:03Hey. It's fine.
00:26:06Well, that was helpful.
00:26:14Are you okay?
00:26:15Yeah. Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:26:20It's causing you pain.
00:26:21Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable, but I mean, it will pass.
00:26:25Oh, okay.
00:26:27Here.
00:26:30Oh, okay.
00:26:31Okay.
00:26:43Thanks.
00:26:44Thanks.
00:26:44Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically a work-related issue.
00:26:54And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:26:57Okay.
00:26:59Okay.
00:27:00Okay.
00:27:01PURELY PROFESSIONAL CARE.
00:27:02Purely professional care.
00:27:27Purely professional, huh?
00:27:47Adrienne.
00:27:50Um, about this weekend.
00:27:52I'm sorry, there's an emergency in Atlanta.
00:27:54The merge is falling apart.
00:27:55Topson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:27:59Your family invited me to dinner.
00:28:02Guess I'll handle it on my own.
00:28:08Well, I don't suppose we should expect punctuality from a person who's probably never had a proper watch in her life.
00:28:15I introduce him to the Lawson heiress, the senator's daughter.
00:28:20I don't understand why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:28:24What did you say she did, Ethan?
00:28:27Retail?
00:28:28Worse.
00:28:29A wannabe writer.
00:28:31She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:28:38Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:28:41I had the chef prepare her place setting and everything.
00:28:43She probably couldn't figure out which work do you do.
00:28:46Well.
00:28:46I apologize for the sight delay.
00:29:04My, my.
00:29:06Trying so hard to look the part.
00:29:09James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner.
00:29:13I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:29:17And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breeding.
00:29:21Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:29:24Oh, darling.
00:29:29Woo.
00:29:30A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:29:32How quaint.
00:29:36At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian socks.
00:29:39I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable.
00:29:47Integrity.
00:29:48Integrity.
00:29:49Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:29:52How much, how much will it take you to disappear?
00:30:00Name your price.
00:30:03The difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford, is that I don't think that everything comes with a price tag.
00:30:11Excuse me.
00:30:20Stay calm.
00:30:21You can do this.
00:30:30Getting all dressed up for me, baby.
00:30:46What's the rush?
00:30:47What's the rush?
00:30:53We're all family here.
00:30:55Well, almost family.
00:30:57Don't touch me.
00:30:59You used to like it when I touched you.
00:31:01Remember how shy you were?
00:31:04Always saying no.
00:31:06Run off me, bastard!
00:31:08Careful, though.
00:31:09One scream from you and everyone at dinner is going to know what kind of girl you really are.
00:31:15Now, where were we?
00:31:26Everything all right, dear?
00:31:28You look flushed.
00:31:29So, as I was saying about the muscles.
00:31:36Stop it.
00:31:38Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:31:39Stop it.
00:31:44Enough.
00:31:45No class?
00:31:47No manners?
00:31:47I don't know how you seduced my son, but someone like you could never deserve a place in this family.
00:31:56I...
00:31:57I'm the one who sued her.
00:32:04Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:32:09Adrian.
00:32:09If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:32:13You want to know how we met?
00:32:15She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:32:17Papers flying, coffee spilled.
00:32:19Unlike some people, she didn't care about my name or my money.
00:32:25She, uh, refused me several times.
00:32:28Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:32:30First woman who dared to stand out to me.
00:32:33And that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:32:35Oh, you never met her.
00:32:36Sir, two things.
00:32:41Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner.
00:32:44And your jet is ready.
00:32:45You can go now.
00:32:51Cancel it, Liam.
00:32:52I said a merger.
00:32:55Yes, sir.
00:32:58Funny that last week's family's dinners were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:33:06Something's more important than business.
00:33:12Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:33:15Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:33:22What are you talking about?
00:33:24We've been dating for three years.
00:33:27I have pictures of us together.
00:33:29She probably planned this from the start.
00:33:37Dating me to get close to the family, then setting her sights higher.
00:33:42You manipulative little troll.
00:33:44Face it, Uncle.
00:33:45You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:50Face it, Uncle.
00:33:52You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:55That's for every lie you just told.
00:34:04Adrian!
00:34:05How dare you hit my son!
00:34:07Where do you think you're going?
00:34:08We are not finished here yet!
00:34:10Yes, we are.
00:34:16I'm sorry.
00:34:17I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:34:19Thank you for coming back.
00:34:21And for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:34:24Your hands, what happened?
00:34:45As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:49I expect you to use them.
00:34:51I didn't want to presume.
00:34:53You're the Crawford now.
00:35:05Dr. Anderson?
00:35:06Mr. Crawford?
00:35:08The embryos are ready, so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:35:13I see.
00:35:14What is it?
00:35:17Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:19I've been thinking.
00:35:21Perhaps we should approach this matter in a more natural manner.
00:35:28Between a husband and a wife.
00:35:33What are your thoughts?
00:35:33I think that we should go to bed.
00:35:40We have a really big day tomorrow.
00:35:43So, I mean, goodnight.
00:35:52You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit.
00:35:55Focus on the procedure.
00:36:01Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:36:09There.
00:36:11See that white spot?
00:36:14That's our baby.
00:36:15You know, I can walk.
00:36:23Doctor's orders?
00:36:24You seem more nervous than I do.
00:36:31Merely following medical procedure.
00:36:32Look at her.
00:36:44She's acting like a princess.
00:36:47She was probably a waitress last week.
00:36:51Now she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:37:02Adrian.
00:37:31Not quite.
00:37:32Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:37:34Let go of me!
00:37:36Come on, you used to love being in my arms.
00:37:40Remember how we would spend hours at the cafe?
00:37:43You would lean into me while reading your favorite book?
00:37:46Did she?
00:37:49Adrian!
00:37:50I was just getting food, I swear.
00:37:56Get out!
00:38:01Stop it.
00:38:03Tyler, what's wrong?
00:38:04In my stomach, I think that there's something wrong.
00:38:06If anything, anything happens to my fiancé or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:38:13Then you, what you want, you'll never have.
00:38:19Never.
00:38:25Child.
00:38:26Three years, she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:38:28In a few weeks, with my uncle, and she's carrying his child.
00:38:34You want the perfect family?
00:38:39It's not gonna happen.
00:38:51Thompson, clear my schedule.
00:38:53Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:55Sir, what happened?
00:38:56Do you need my help?
00:38:58You can't help on this one.
00:38:59Just do what I say.
00:39:02You and Ethan, you've never really gotten along, have you?
00:39:06Why is that?
00:39:17You seem very concerned about him.
00:39:19I just...
00:39:20Just get some rest.
00:39:21It's been a rough day for you.
00:39:23Adrian, why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:39:27No reason.
00:39:29I just know you're not like that.
00:39:31Thanks.
00:39:33Get some rest.
00:39:34Do whatever makes you comfortable.
00:39:36Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:39:38Anything I want?
00:39:39Are you sure about that?
00:39:55What the...
00:39:56What are you doing?
00:40:11This isn't nutritious.
00:40:13The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:15The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:17Yeah.
00:40:18And chips and ice cream.
00:40:21You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you?
00:40:23I've been researching optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:40:28See?
00:40:29Week by week guidelines.
00:40:31Okay, okay, okay.
00:40:32How about a compromise?
00:40:34One treat per day.
00:40:36Half a treat.
00:40:38Three quarters.
00:40:39Three quarters.
00:40:53Congratulations.
00:41:03The fetus is developing perfectly.
00:41:06Really?
00:41:08Everything looks wonderful.
00:41:10Now that we're in the stable period,
00:41:12I would recommend you starting some prenatal exercise.
00:41:16What kind of exercise?
00:41:18Now, hold her from behind in the maternal pose.
00:41:31Maybe we should skip this part.
00:41:33I'm here to train.
00:41:34Let's do it properly.
00:41:35Guide her arms up.
00:41:37This is a little intimate.
00:41:48And now, the supporting stretch.
00:42:02Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:42:06Maybe we should continue this at home.
00:42:09Yeah, please.
00:42:28The charity gala isn't a test.
00:42:30Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:42:53You look perfect.
00:42:58Just be yourself.
00:42:59Then, this, this is not me.
00:43:09You look exactly the same.
00:43:38And you must be the fiancée.
00:43:50I'm so pleased Adrian has found someone after all these years.
00:43:54That's really kind, but I'm sorry.
00:43:57Who are you?
00:44:00I'm just someone who cares about Adrian's happiness.
00:44:03More than anyone else.
00:44:04Oh, my God.
00:44:11Oh, my God.
00:44:13You two are finally back together.
00:44:16Everyone, look who's here.
00:44:18The golden couple.
00:44:19I heard Adrian's happiness.
00:44:21I heard Adrian's happiness.
00:44:22I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged.
00:44:24I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:44:25When is the wedding?
00:44:30Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancée, Lala Reid.
00:44:35We're expecting our first child, and of course, you're all welcome to the wedding.
00:44:45She's pregnant.
00:44:46She's pregnant?
00:44:47Oh, I'm, I'm so sorry.
00:44:50I just assumed congratulations for you both.
00:44:58Adrian Crawford in a complete unknown.
00:45:00How did you manage that?
00:45:02Adrian chose for me, Vivian.
00:45:03Is he crazy?
00:45:05Oh, Benji, how have you been?
00:45:07Great.
00:45:08Let's go, Ben.
00:45:16They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:45:20Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:45:27Gentlemen.
00:45:28What are you all talking about?
00:45:35They do look like the perfect couple.
00:45:50Drinking?
00:45:51I thought you were pregnant.
00:45:53None of your business.
00:45:58You know how Adrian is.
00:46:00Always has to win.
00:46:02Especially against me.
00:46:04He hates when I take things from him.
00:46:05What are you talking about?
00:46:14Perfect couple, right?
00:46:17Until...
00:46:18Dun-dun-dun...
00:46:21Vivian fell madly in love with me, leaving dear Uncle heartbroken.
00:46:27Since then, whatever I want, he has to take.
00:46:33Whatever I have, he has to win.
00:46:36Like you.
00:46:39What you want, you never have.
00:46:43Never.
00:46:44You and Ethan, you've never really gone along, have you?
00:46:48You don't get it.
00:46:51Stop being naive.
00:46:53You're just his tool for revenge.
00:47:03I'm just his tool for revenge?
00:47:05What do you think you're doing?
00:47:21You are pregnant.
00:47:22Why are you drinking?
00:47:24Oh, now you can't.
00:47:25Shh.
00:47:28It's soda.
00:47:29I know what I'm doing.
00:47:30What happened back there?
00:47:47Talk to me.
00:47:49Lila, I am worried.
00:47:52So you talked to Ethan, but not me.
00:47:53Oh, you do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:48:13Lila, open the door.
00:48:18Please.
00:48:23The eggs are still warm.
00:48:51The eggs are still warm.
00:48:53I apologize about last night.
00:48:55I was just worried about you.
00:48:58Worried about me or worried about the baby?
00:49:05What do you mean?
00:49:06Is this why you're being so nice to me?
00:49:10Making me breakfast, being all protective.
00:49:13It's just for the baby.
00:49:17Lila, you've been so strange since yesterday.
00:49:20Why?
00:49:20Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:49:29Yes.
00:49:36And then she got with Ethan?
00:49:41Yes.
00:49:43Okay, so I'm just...
00:49:44Vivian and I were...
00:49:45Sir, the Singapore version is falling apart.
00:49:54We need to immediately.
00:49:55I'm in the middle of something.
00:49:57The board is threatening to pull out.
00:50:00I'll be there.
00:50:07We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back.
00:50:09Of course, business first.
00:50:17Lila.
00:50:18Just go.
00:50:18Sir, there have been complications.
00:50:33Explain.
00:50:34During your absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members, suggesting your sudden marriage plans indicate unstable decision-making.
00:50:43Several executives are questioning if someone so personally distracted should and hurt the company.
00:50:51Mr. Grofford, we've been discussing my personal life.
00:51:11Your sudden access has let me be very clear.
00:51:16This company took a 40% profit loss before I took over.
00:51:26Within three years, I tripled our market share.
00:51:29Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge, my execution, my strategies.
00:51:36So, yes, I am getting married.
00:51:40And, yes, I took some time off.
00:51:42And, no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:51:50Because without me, there wouldn't be a company left to inherit.
00:51:56Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:52:01Let's see.
00:52:05Let's see.
00:52:18Let's see.
00:52:20Uh-huh.
00:52:22Adrian, what the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:52:48I was doing my job.
00:52:49Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:52:54Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:53:00You leave Lila out of this.
00:53:02You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:53:05Yeah, run along.
00:53:07Adults are talking business now.
00:53:09We just need to bore him for a moment, dear.
00:53:12Business matters.
00:53:13You wouldn't understand.
00:53:19That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:53:31She's nothing but a broodmare.
00:53:34After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:53:39Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:53:42Someone like me.
00:53:43Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:53:49Non-negotiable.
00:53:51She will follow you every day, just like before.
00:53:54And your little pet project can't stay home and just state that's all she's good for.
00:53:59Get out!
00:54:03Both of you!
00:54:04How dare you!
00:54:05If you dare mention my wife's name again, I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before either of you get to touch it!
00:54:12Adrian, be reasonable!
00:54:14She is worth a thousand to you.
00:54:17Tomorrow, 9 a.m. Vivian starts.
00:54:22No discussion.
00:54:22Is that all?
00:54:25Yes, for now.
00:54:27But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:55Stop it.
00:55:06Stop checking.
00:55:09This is ridiculous.
00:55:11I was independent before.
00:55:14I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep.
00:55:21No!
00:55:22I'm not going to be that girl.
00:55:23I can make my own meals.
00:55:30I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:55:38A broodmare.
00:55:42Way to get back at Ethan.
00:55:48Philo!
00:55:49I'm fine!
00:55:51You're not fine.
00:55:52Hospital, now!
00:55:53I'm fine!
00:56:08Thanks.
00:56:10I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciated you today.
00:56:13You know, you used to look at me like that.
00:56:21All sweet.
00:56:22Sincere.
00:56:23Don't.
00:56:24Why not?
00:56:26Is there really no chance for us?
00:56:28Ethan!
00:56:31Lila, he's just using you.
00:56:33You're his revenge against me.
00:56:36A tool.
00:56:36And you deserve better than you deserve better than that.
00:56:40Adrian, stop!
00:56:42What are you doing?
00:56:45I'm protecting you.
00:56:46From what?
00:56:47He's helping.
00:56:47He brought me here.
00:56:48My hand was bleeding.
00:56:49So now you're defending him.
00:56:50No, I'm defending the truth.
00:56:53Sometimes, I guess people surprise you.
00:56:57I see.
00:56:59Adrian.
00:57:00I'll call the doctor to come.
00:57:07I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OB-GYN down immediately.
00:57:12Sir, it's just the morning.
00:57:13Come.
00:57:14I want a full prenatal checkup.
00:57:16I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson.
00:57:17He's going to be down here in 10 minutes.
00:57:19Always so controlled.
00:57:22Aren't you, Uncle?
00:57:24Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:57:29Remember our beach dates?
00:57:33How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:57:39Thompson, bring in the catering.
00:57:42The Michelin star one.
00:57:43Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:57:47Oh, well done.
00:57:47No sauce.
00:57:50I don't think that I did say...
00:57:51How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:57:55Pride and Prejudice.
00:57:56Favorite movie.
00:57:58Pride and Prejudice.
00:57:59BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:58:01She likes to watch it when she's getting stressed.
00:58:04Which is why I upgraded our home theater system.
00:58:06To have all the original films from the BBC on the back.
00:58:10You did what?
00:58:11Wow!
00:58:14Using money to get to her heart.
00:58:16Huh, Uncle?
00:58:20Oh, the Alzheimer's wing is fully renovated.
00:58:25Named after Lila's grandmother.
00:58:27As she mentioned.
00:58:28Oh, it's a fully funded.
00:58:31Anonymous donor.
00:58:32Hmm.
00:58:37He may be able to offer you money,
00:58:39but you're gonna miss this.
00:58:41Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:58:56Oh, it's normal.
00:58:57Yes, mama.
00:59:00I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins.
00:59:02They should arrive shortly.
00:59:04They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:59:07Wow.
00:59:08He remembered all that about me.
00:59:10I remember everything about you.
00:59:11Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:59:21Guys, she's tired.
00:59:22We should leave.
00:59:23Let her rest.
00:59:24Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:59:36Or does he actually care?
00:59:38Yes, father?
00:59:56Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:59:59Overwork, they say,
01:00:00from cleaning up your company's mess.
01:00:03I have meetings.
01:00:04Cancel them.
01:00:06Go to visit her right now.
01:00:09Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you,
01:00:12or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
01:00:32You came.
01:00:34Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
01:00:40Still so cold.
01:00:43Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was unwell?
01:00:46That was a long time ago.
01:00:49We were really great together, Adrian.
01:00:52We could be together again.
01:00:53I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
01:00:56What we had,
01:00:58I never took it as seriously as you pretended to.
01:01:01But Lila,
01:01:03she's different.
01:01:04She's real.
01:01:07Pregnant gold digger is real?
01:01:09Please.
01:01:10I guess some things never change.
01:01:22Watch your words.
01:01:25Stay away from my wife.
01:01:26A little girl.
01:01:38Daddy.
01:01:39No.
01:01:41Your hand.
01:01:42It's nothing.
01:01:43I need to tell you something.
01:01:48I'm going to be a mother.
01:01:50Is it that Ethan boys?
01:01:52No.
01:01:52No.
01:01:53Then who?
01:01:55It doesn't matter.
01:01:56But what does matter is that this is my baby.
01:02:00And I'm going to love them so much.
01:02:03With all the love that you gave me.
01:02:07Baby.
01:02:09I'm so sorry.
01:02:10I'm sorry I couldn't give you better.
01:02:15Daddy.
01:02:15If only I were healthy, if I could work.
01:02:17Daddy, don't.
01:02:18But the hospital bills, what are you getting money for?
01:02:25Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:02:27No.
01:02:28No.
01:02:28It's not like that.
01:02:30Did someone take advantage of you?
01:02:32My little girl pregnant all alone?
01:02:35She's not alone.
01:02:39Hi, Mr. Reid.
01:02:41I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:02:42I'm the father of her child.
01:02:48Adrian.
01:02:49I'm not just the father.
01:02:51I'm the man who's going to spend the rest of his life making sure your daughter and our child get everything they deserve.
01:02:57Pretty words from a rich man.
01:03:00Not words.
01:03:01Facts.
01:03:02I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:03:04Full treatment plan.
01:03:05Best specialists.
01:03:07Adrian.
01:03:09And I promise you this.
01:03:12Every morning, she's going to wake up knowing that she is cherished.
01:03:16Every decision I make, every step I take will be to ensure her happiness.
01:03:20You really mean that, don't you?
01:03:22Yes, sir, I do.
01:03:25Well, maybe I can stop worrying.
01:03:38Thank you for what you said in there.
01:03:42I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:03:44No, no, no, no.
01:03:46I wasn't just doing anything.
01:03:48Every word I said in there is true.
01:03:51Adrian.
01:03:57Laila, I need to tell you something.
01:03:58I've been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
01:04:06Yes, we had a contract, but I realized you've become everything to me.
01:04:13You're not my surrogate.
01:04:14You're not my convenient fiancée.
01:04:20You're my partner.
01:04:22If you have me.
01:04:27But what about Ethan and Vivian?
01:04:30What about them?
01:04:30Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan and...
01:04:36Revenge?
01:04:38I never loved Vivian.
01:04:40And Ethan, he's not worth a second thought.
01:04:42Really?
01:04:44Then who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:04:47Oh, that was...
01:04:52I was jealous, okay?
01:04:58I thought of you with him.
01:05:00Wow.
01:05:01The great Mr. Crawford.
01:05:03Jealous.
01:05:04Don't mention it.
01:05:06I have a reputation to make it.
01:05:07I'm not letting you go.
01:05:24Not ever.
01:05:33Surrogacy?
01:05:34Contract of marriage?
01:05:36Oh, this is too perfect.
01:05:38Oh, this is too perfect.
01:06:06Whiskey.
01:06:14Neat.
01:06:17What's so urgent?
01:06:19I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you.
01:06:22Is this about her and my uncle?
01:06:24It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:06:28Your perfect uncle?
01:06:30He hired her.
01:06:32She's just a surrogate.
01:06:33Their whole engagement is a lie.
01:06:37A contract?
01:06:41The board would love to hear about this.
01:06:44Next week's family meeting.
01:06:47We'll reveal everything.
01:06:49Until then, let's gather more evidence.
01:06:51And once he's ruined?
01:06:56I'll comfort him.
01:06:57Help him rebuild.
01:06:59He'll remember who he truly belongs with.
01:07:05And Lila?
01:07:07Well, once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:07:11You can have your little toy back.
01:07:13Cheers.
01:07:16Cheers.
01:07:32Um, Ethan's in meetings all afternoon.
01:07:35That's okay.
01:07:35I don't mind waiting.
01:07:36These documents require his immediate attention.
01:07:45Would you mind getting me some tea, dear?
01:07:53Surrogacy agreements?
01:07:55Medical contracts?
01:07:58Come on.
01:08:00The train's always so organized.
01:08:03Where is everything?
01:08:04Everything.
01:08:04It's just a stupid cat.
01:08:20Are you okay?
01:08:27You're a beast!
01:08:29Attach me!
01:08:29I need your bathroom.
01:08:33Now!
01:08:34Adrian!
01:08:42I've been waiting for you.
01:08:52You know,
01:08:54if you need an heir,
01:08:56we could make one.
01:08:58Right here.
01:09:00Right now.
01:09:00Lila doesn't have to know.
01:09:04She's already asleep.
01:09:08It could just be our little secret.
01:09:12Here?
01:09:14In the living room?
01:09:18Wherever you want.
01:09:19Someone might see us.
01:09:21Are you scared?
01:09:22I know somewhere more private.
01:09:28I know somewhere more private.
01:09:37Where are we going?
01:09:39Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:09:42Ladies first.
01:09:47Enjoy the fresh air.
01:09:49Adrian!
01:09:50Adrian!
01:09:51Adrian!
01:09:52You can't do this to me!
01:09:53I'm a Crawford executor!
01:10:01Stop filming me!
01:10:02This is harassment!
01:10:04I will sue you!
01:10:05I will sue you so hard!
01:10:06Wait!
01:10:09Adrian!
01:10:10Adrian!
01:10:11Adrian!
01:10:11Adrian, let me in!
01:10:12Everyone,
01:10:22this crisis could have destroyed us.
01:10:25But thanks to your tireless efforts,
01:10:28Crawford is stronger than ever.
01:10:30To the best team in the business!
01:10:32Yay!
01:10:36Though,
01:10:37speaking of tonight's celebration,
01:10:39there's something you all should be prepared for.
01:10:43For what?
01:10:46My uncle
01:10:46is bringing his fiancée tonight.
01:10:50The thing is,
01:10:51her and I were together
01:10:52until very recently.
01:10:55I know,
01:10:57I know,
01:10:58I know.
01:10:59But please,
01:11:00when they arrive,
01:11:02act normal.
01:11:03I couldn't bear any drama.
01:11:05She left you for your uncle?
01:11:07These things happen.
01:11:12Everyone,
01:11:13I'd like to introduce you
01:11:15to my fiancée,
01:11:16Lila Reed.
01:11:17Hello, everybody.
01:11:18It's lovely to meet you all.
01:11:20I need to check some numbers.
01:11:25Did I do something wrong?
01:11:35How are you feeling?
01:11:36Is the morning sickness over yet?
01:11:39I'm fine.
01:11:40You know,
01:11:41I've been worried.
01:11:44All this stress
01:11:44can't be good for the baby.
01:11:48Which hospital are you using?
01:11:50I could drive you next time.
01:11:52That's not necessary.
01:11:54Come on.
01:11:56We used to tell each other everything.
01:11:59Just want to make sure
01:12:00you're getting the proper care.
01:12:01If I know her hospital,
01:12:03then I can get her surrogate history.
01:12:05How thoughtful.
01:12:07But Adrian handles
01:12:08all my appointments personally.
01:12:11The real hero of the hour.
01:12:13Wow!
01:12:18Beautiful,
01:12:19isn't she?
01:12:21The type of woman
01:12:22who belongs in Adrian's world.
01:12:25Excuse me.
01:12:26You know how my uncle thinks.
01:12:29Like a chess master.
01:12:32Every piece has its use.
01:12:35Some for business.
01:12:37Others for...
01:12:39You don't know him.
01:12:41Oh, but I do.
01:12:43Adrian Crawford cares exactly
01:12:45about one person.
01:12:46Adrian Crawford.
01:12:48He sees people as investments.
01:12:50Vivian?
01:12:51Perfect for managing the company.
01:12:54You?
01:12:55Well,
01:12:56I think we both know
01:12:58what your role is.
01:13:02He's wrong.
01:13:03He has to be wrong.
01:13:04He has to be wrong.
01:13:23Everyone in this world
01:13:24has their place.
01:13:26Their purpose.
01:13:29Maybe it's time
01:13:29I found mine again.
01:13:30Maybe when's the last time
01:13:53you ate something.
01:13:55I don't know.
01:13:57Breakfast.
01:13:57Yesterday's breakfast.
01:14:02That's enough for today.
01:14:05Okay.
01:14:09The prenatal instructor said
01:14:11this exercise should help.
01:14:13Okay.
01:14:14Like this?
01:14:15Almost.
01:14:16I think I need
01:14:28a little more
01:14:29instruction.
01:14:29Everything looks perfect.
01:14:55The baby's development's
01:14:57right on track.
01:14:57Really?
01:15:00Really.
01:15:01Now that you're
01:15:01in the stable period,
01:15:04intimate relations
01:15:05is perfectly safe
01:15:06as long as you're gentle.
01:15:08Just listen to your bodies
01:15:09and...
01:15:10Yes.
01:15:12Doctor.
01:15:17Everything will be open.
01:15:19Dr. Anderson.
01:15:40Let's talk about
01:15:42Adrian Crawford's arrangement.
01:15:44Was it a surrogacy contract?
01:15:50Mr. Harrington.
01:15:52Doctor patient confidentiality.
01:15:54Hmm.
01:15:55I hear
01:15:56that the new hospital complex
01:15:59is looking for department heads.
01:16:02Wouldn't it be a shame
01:16:04if your name was
01:16:05mysteriously removed
01:16:08from the list?
01:16:13Now,
01:16:14about those hospital records.
01:16:16Oh, God.
01:16:19Oh, God.
01:16:35Surrogacy.
01:16:43Surrogacy.
01:16:44Surrogacy.
01:16:46Five generations
01:16:47of Crawford dignity
01:16:48destroyed by tabloid gossip.
01:16:51I knew that girl
01:16:53was hiding something.
01:16:58Did you?
01:16:59Did you really pay
01:17:00some nobody
01:17:01to carry your heir?
01:17:03Tell me it isn't true.
01:17:13You.
01:17:14It's your doing.
01:17:16I...
01:17:18Adrian.
01:17:18I need to discuss
01:17:22something with you.
01:17:23Privately.
01:17:29Adrian.
01:17:31I can make
01:17:31all of this disappear.
01:17:33All you have to do
01:17:34is remember
01:17:34who you really belong with.
01:17:36Who I belong with.
01:17:37We were good together.
01:17:39We can't be again.
01:17:41Give me the position
01:17:42I deserve.
01:17:44As Mrs. Crawford
01:17:45by your side.
01:17:46I do need your help.
01:17:49Please
01:17:49never show up again.
01:18:08I won't let them hurt you.
01:18:10It's not me
01:18:12I'm worried about.
01:18:13If they expose
01:18:14the truth
01:18:15about our arrangement
01:18:16you could lose
01:18:16everything.
01:18:20Nothing's more important
01:18:21than you and our child.
01:18:22this emergency family meeting
01:18:46will come to order.
01:18:47I have proof
01:18:49Miss Reed
01:18:51is not
01:18:52Adrian's loving bride-to-be.
01:18:55She's just a surrogate
01:18:57paid to carry
01:18:58the Crawford heir.
01:19:03I have proof too.
01:19:06Medical records
01:19:07from Crawford
01:19:08showing that Miss Reed
01:19:36underwent
01:19:40fertility
01:19:59treatment
01:20:00for which
01:20:11she was
01:20:11generously
01:20:12compensated.
01:20:17Paid surrogacy.
01:20:19How come?
01:20:30All right, fine.
01:20:32You want the truth?
01:20:34Yes.
01:20:35It started
01:20:35with a surrogacy.
01:20:38But Lila
01:20:38she's the woman
01:20:40I chose
01:20:40to be the mother
01:20:41of my child.
01:20:42And I won't let
01:20:43anyone here
01:20:44slander her.
01:20:45You want
01:20:46this arrangement?
01:20:47Fine.
01:20:49But then
01:20:50it costs you
01:20:52everything.
01:21:00Resign from
01:21:02the company
01:21:03give up
01:21:04your inheritance.
01:21:06The child
01:21:07can see
01:21:07in the family
01:21:08of course.
01:21:09But the mother
01:21:10well
01:21:10her services
01:21:11won't be required
01:21:12after delivery.
01:21:20Yes
01:21:20I did the IVF
01:21:23treatment
01:21:23but I never
01:21:24never

01:23:14Not worth losing
01:23:15everything for.
01:23:16You're worth
01:23:16everything.
01:23:17The company,
01:23:22the assets,
01:23:22I built them
01:23:23once.
01:23:24I can build
01:23:24them again.
01:23:26But you,
01:23:28you and our
01:23:28child,
01:23:30you're our real
01:23:30future.
01:23:35Still time to
01:23:36think it over,
01:23:37son.
01:23:38Let's go.
01:24:07Thanks.
01:24:07You've been at
01:24:10this for hours.
01:24:12I just got to
01:24:13finish this last
01:24:14chapter.
01:24:18I'll get you
01:24:19some food.
01:24:29What do you mean
01:24:30you're canceling
01:24:31the contract?
01:24:32We've worked
01:24:32together for
01:24:33ten years!
01:24:34No, no, no, no.
01:24:38Don't call
01:24:39Adrian.
