Transcript
00:00:00Surrogacy? Surrogacy.
00:00:02Harvard Business School. MBA. Top of class.
00:00:06As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:00:15Three years I've loved him. Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:00:20But they don't see the real Ethan. I know he loves me.
00:00:30Oh my god! Three years I've wasted on you!
00:00:37I'm not gonna let you take this from me too.
00:00:39I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:00:42One appointment? One sperm donor? I can have a baby of my own.
00:00:49Understand this clearly. We'll be parents, nothing more.
00:00:53Surrogacy. Five generations of Crawford dignity destroyed by tabloid gossip.
00:01:06Adrian, I can make all of this disappear.
00:01:10Perfect couple, right? Until...
00:01:13Dun-dun-dun-dun.
00:01:14All you have to do is remember who you really belong.
00:01:17That's for every lie you just told.
00:01:21Your fault! You need your real plan to get rid of him.
00:01:26Get up!
00:01:35Three years. Three years I've loved him.
00:01:39Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:01:41That a man like him only loves himself.
00:01:43But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:01:48I know he loves me.
00:01:51Thank you so much.
00:01:53I really, really appreciate it.
00:01:56Tonight, it will be our big night.
00:01:58And I'll give him all of me.
00:02:01We'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:02:03A family of our own.
00:02:05I'm so sorry.
00:02:19I'm so sorry.
00:02:19I'm so sorry.
00:02:43Oh, my God.
00:03:13Oh, my God.
00:03:36Lala, you're Earl.
00:03:39Why so shocked, babe?
00:03:41You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:03:47Come and join us.
00:03:53Three years.
00:03:54Three years.
00:03:55I wasted on you.
00:03:58God, I'm such an idiot.
00:04:01I was thinking I was going to have a baby with you.
00:04:05Baby?
00:04:07Sweetheart.
00:04:08You wouldn't even put out after three years, and now you're thinking about playing mommy.
00:04:13Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs,
00:04:18these lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:04:23Screw you.
00:04:36I'm not going to let you take this from me, too.
00:04:38You know what?
00:04:43I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:46One appointment, one sperm donor, I can have a baby of my own.
00:04:50Six months to produce an heir, or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:05:04Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:05:08The surrogate candidates are all throwlers, so I believe you're educated.
00:05:14Impeccable health histories.
00:05:15I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:05:17I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:05:20Find me someone who knows your place, and will disappear after delivery.
00:05:30Ah!
00:05:30Ah!
00:05:30Ah!
00:05:38Miss,
00:06:07Are you here for the interview?
00:06:10Ah!
00:06:11The interview?
00:06:12Yes, of course.
00:06:23Please sit!
00:06:30Right, um, let's get started.
00:06:35Hey, um, education,
00:06:37And 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.
00:06:50Do you have any idea who I am?
00:07:02I'm just trying to be thorough.
00:07:04It's about creating a healthy baby, after all.
00:07:06Why are attractive men so full of themselves.
00:07:11I don't care if you're Brad Pitt, I need to know your reproductive history.
00:07:17So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:07:22I can't show her out.
00:07:25Thompson, leave us.
00:07:28What are you doing?
00:07:28What are you doing?
00:07:29What are you doing?
00:07:31What are you doing?
00:07:32Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:07:36Harvard Business School, MBA, top of class, no family history of genetic disorders.
00:07:49I 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?
00:08:06Um, yes, of course.
00:08:09I'm perfectly healthy too, no genetic disorders, and I get regular checkups.
00:08:18Um, I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:08:24You really do seem like the perfect match.
00:08:27Good.
00:08:29Now, regarding compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
00:08:34Well, I was thinking around eight hundred dollars.
00:08:39Eight hundred.
00:08:41I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:08:47I know, I know it's not a lot of money, but considering the quality, um, I could, I can help,
00:08:54I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:08:55Talk to me.
00:08:57Bring in the contracts.
00:09:06All of this?
00:09:07Seriously?
00:09:09Take 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?
00:09:31What's surrogacy?
00:09:32The position you're interviewing for.
00:09:34Interview?
00:09:36I'm hated by sperm.
00:09:38You came to what?
00:09:38I thought you were a donor.
00:09:41That's why I was asking you all the questions about the history and stuff.
00:09:45I thought you were here to be my surrogate.
00:09:49Right, um, well, I guess, I guess I've, um, made a mistake, so I'm just gonna go.
00:09:54Wait!
00:09:55A million dollars for carrying my child.
00:10:04I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford, not somebody else's.
00:10:10Ah, you might need that.
00:10:12Clean this up.
00:10:22Bring in the next.
00:10:30Hello?
00:10:30Miss Reed, your father, you need to come now.
00:10:34Oh, okay, I'm coming here.
00:10:49Doctor, how is he?
00:10:58How is my father?
00:11:00The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:11:03Uh, then, then do something, save him.
00:11:07Is there, is there a treatment you can do?
00:11:08Uh, there is a new treatment.
00:11:10Uh, okay, then, then let's do it.
00:11:12But maybe it's, uh, quite expensive.
00:11:14How much?
00:11:15Around one million dollars.
00:11:18A million dollars?
00:11:20Yes.
00:11:22Can I get a, a loan or something?
00:11:24Actually, this is a new technology and there is no loan policy, sorry.
00:11:33It's not really good.
00:11:34How much are you doing?
00:11:35I would do my life now.
00:11:36I can't for it.
00:11:37I have a plan.
00:11:44Oh, okay, okay.

00:25:21Yeah, I'm fine.
00:25:23I just need some assistance.

00:25:50Oh, you're...
00:25:55Oh, you're...
00:25:57I'm...
00:25:58I'm so sorry.
00:25:59I didn't...
00:26:00I didn't realize.
00:26:01I'm just...
00:26:02I'm just gonna...
00:26:03Just go somewhere.
00:26:04I just need you...
00:26:05Somewhere very far away.
00:26:06Ah!
00:26:07It's fine.
00:26:08Well, that was helpful.
00:26:15Are you okay?
00:26:18Yeah.
00:26:19Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:26:22It's causing you pain.
00:26:24Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable.
00:26:26But I mean, it will...
00:26:27It will pass.
00:26:29Oh.
00:26:30Here.
00:26:31Okay.
00:26:32Thanks.
00:26:33Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically
00:26:55a work-related issue, and as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:27:00Okay.
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:28Purely professional care.
00:27:32Purely professional, huh?
00:27:39Adrian.
00:27:40About this weekend...
00:27:41I'm sorry.
00:27:42There's an emergency in Atlanta.
00:27:43The merge is falling apart.
00:27:45Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:27:48Your family invited me to dinner.
00:27:49Guess I'll handle it on my own.
00:27:50Well, I don't suppose we should expect punctuality from a person who's probably never had a proper
00:27:51watch in her life.
00:27:52I truly agree with you.
00:27:53I'm sorry.
00:27:54I'm sorry.
00:27:55I'm sorry.
00:27:56I'm sorry.
00:27:57I'm sorry.
00:27:58I'm sorry.
00:27:59I'm sorry.
00:28:00I'm sorry.
00:28:01I'm sorry.
00:28:02I'm sorry.
00:28:03I'm sorry.
00:28:04I'm sorry.
00:28:05I'm sorry.
00:28:06I'm sorry.
00:28:07I'm sorry.
00:28:08There's an emergency in Atlanta.
00:28:09The merge is falling apart.
00:28:10Well, I don't suppose we should expect punctuality from a person who's probably never had a proper
00:28:16watch in her life.
00:28:17I introduce him to the Lawson Harris, the senator's daughter.
00:28:22I don't understand why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:28:27What did you say she did, Ethan?
00:28:29Retail?
00:28:30Worse.
00:28:31Worse.
00:28:32A wannabe writer.
00:28:33She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:28:37Hm.
00:28:40Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:28:43I had the chef prepare her place setting and everything.
00:28:46She probably couldn't figure out which work to do.
00:28:49Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:28:52Ha, ha, ha.
00:28:54I apologize for the slight delay.
00:29:07My, my.
00:29:08Trying so hard to look the part.
00:29:11James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner.
00:29:16I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:29:19And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breeding.
00:29:24Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:29:26Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:29:30Oh, darling.
00:29:31Whew.
00:29:32A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:29:35How quaint.
00:29:37Ha, ha, ha.
00:29:38At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian's socks.
00:29:42Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:29:43I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable.
00:29:48Integrity.
00:29:49Integrity.
00:29:50Integrity.
00:29:51Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:29:55How much, how much will it take you to disappear?
00:30:01Name 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.
00:30:13Excuse me.
00:30:15Stay calm.
00:30:16You can do this.
00:30:17Mm-hmm.
00:30:18Getting all dressed up for me.
00:30:19Baby.
00:30:20Ah!
00:30:21Ah!
00:30:22What's the rush?

00:37:22Not quite. Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:37:26Let go of me!
00:37:28Come on! You used to love being in my arms.
00:37:31Remember how we would spend hours at the cafe?
00:37:34You would lean into me while reading your favorite book?
00:37:38Did she?
00:37:41Adrien! I was just getting food, I swear.
00:37:47Get out!
00:37:53Stomach.
00:37:54Byla, what's wrong?
00:37:55My stomach. I think that there's something wrong.
00:37:57If anything, anything happens to my fiancé or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:38:05And you.
00:38:07What you want, you'll never have.
00:38:11Never.
00:38:12Child.
00:38:13Three years, she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:38:18And a few weeks, with my uncle, and she's carrying his child.
00:38:25You want the perfect family?
00:38:27It's not gonna happen.
00:38:31It's not gonna happen.
00:38:42Thompson, clear my schedule.
00:38:44Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:46Sir, what happened?
00:38:47Do you need my help?
00:38:48You can't help on this one.
00:38:50Just do what I say.
00:38:51You and Ethan, you've never really gotten along, have you?
00:39:01Why is that?
00:39:08You seem very concerned about him.
00:39:10I, I just...
00:39:11Just get some rest. It's been a rough day for you.
00:39:14Adrian, why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:39:19No reason.
00:39:21I just know you're not like that.
00:39:23Thanks.
00:39:25Get some rest.
00:39:26Do whatever makes you comfortable.
00:39:27Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:39:30Anything I want?
00:39:32Are you sure about that?
00:39:47What the...
00:39:51What are you doing?
00:40:02This isn't nutritious.
00:40:04The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:06The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:09And chips and ice cream.
00:40:12You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you?
00:40:14I've been researching optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:40:15See?
00:40:16Week by week guidelines.
00:40:17Okay, okay, okay.
00:40:18How about a compromise?
00:40:19One treat per day.
00:40:20Half a treat.
00:40:21Three quarters.
00:40:22Okay, okay, okay, okay.
00:40:23Okay, okay, okay.
00:40:24How about a compromise?
00:40:25One treat per day.
00:40:26Half a treat.
00:40:27Three quarters.
00:40:28Half a treat.
00:40:29Half a treat.
00:40:30Three quarters.
00:40:31Half a treat.
00:40:32Half a treat.
00:40:33Half a treat.
00:40:34Half a treat.
00:40:35Half a treat.
00:40:36Half a treat.
00:40:37Half a treat.
00:40:38Half a treat.
00:40:39Half a treat.
00:40:40Half a treat.
00:40:41Half a treat.
00:40:42Half a treat.
00:40:43Half a treat.
00:40:44Half a treat.
00:40:45Half a treat.
00:40:46Half a treat.
00:40:47Half a treat.
00:40:48Half a treat.
00:40:49Half a treat.
00:40:50Half a treat.
00:40:51Half a treat.
00:40:52Half a treat.
00:40:53Half a treat.
00:40:54Half a treat.
00:40:55Half a treat.
00:40:56Half a treat.
00:40:57Half a treat.
00:40:58Half a treat.
00:40:59Everything looks wonderful.
00:41:01Now that we're in the stable period,
00:41:03I would recommend you starting some prenatal exercise.
00:41:08What kind of exercise?
00:41:12Now, hold her from behind in a maternal pose.
00:41:22Maybe we should skip this part.
00:41:24Good train. Let's do it properly.
00:41:26Guide her arms up.
00:41:29This is a little implant.
00:41:39And now, the supporting stretch.
00:41:49Oh, Adrian.
00:41:54Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:41:57Maybe we should continue this at home.
00:42:00Yeah, please.
00:42:01Please.
00:42:02The charity gala isn't a test.
00:42:11Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:42:12The charity gala isn't a test.
00:42:21Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:42:24Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:42:27You look perfect.
00:42:29You look perfect.
00:42:45You look perfect.
00:42:50Just be yourself.
00:42:55Then...
00:42:57This...
00:43:00This is not me.
00:43:15Adrian, it's been too long.
00:43:27You look exactly the same.
00:43:39And you must be the fiancée.
00:43:42I'm so pleased Adrian has found someone after all these years.
00:43:46That's really kind, but I'm sorry, who are you?
00:43:52I'm just someone who cares about Adrian's happiness.
00:43:55More 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 Adrian Colford was engaged.
00:44:15I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:44:17When is the wedding?
00:44:21Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancée, Lala Reid.
00:44:27We're expecting our first child, and of course you're all welcome to the wedding.
00:44:37She's pregnant?
00:44:40Oh, I'm... I'm so sorry.
00:44:42I just assumed congratulations for you both.
00:44:49Adrian Crawford in a complete unknown?
00:44:51How did you manage that?
00:44:53Adrian chose her over Vivian.
00:44:54Is he crazy?
00:44:57Oh, Benji, how have you been?
00:44:59Great.
00:45:00Let's go, pal.
00:45:01They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:45:12Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:45:14Gentlemen!
00:45:19What are you all talking about?
00:45:27They do look like the perfect couple.
00:45:42Drinking?
00:45:43I thought you were pregnant.
00:45:44None of your business.
00:45:50You know how Adrian is.
00:45:51Always has to win.
00:45:53Especially against me.
00:45:55He hates when I take things from him.
00:45:57What are you talking about?
00:46:06Perfect couple, right?
00:46:07Until...
00:46:14Vivian fell madly in love with me.
00:46:17Leaving dear Uncle heartbroken.
00:46:20Since then...
00:46:22Whatever I want, he has to take.
00:46:26Whatever I have, he has to win.
00:46:29Like you.
00:46:32What you want, you never have.
00:46:35Never.
00:46:36You and Ethan, you've never really gone along, have you?
00:46:42You don't get it.
00:46:43Stop being naive.
00:46:45You're just his tool for revenge.
00:46:55I'm just his tool for revenge?
00:46:58What do you think you're doing?
00:47:11What do you think you're doing?
00:47:13You are pregnant.
00:47:14Why are you drinking?
00:47:16Oh, now you care.
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, I am worried.
00:47:44So you talked to Ethan, but not me.
00:47:46Oh, you do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:48:05Lila, open the door.
00:48:06Lila, open the door.
00:48:10Please.
00:48:11I love you.
00:48:12We walked that season I'd go
00:48:32I'd walk it
00:48:42The eggs are still warm
00:48:45I apologize about last night I was just worried about you
00:48:51Worried about me or worried about the baby?
00:48:57What do you mean?
00:48:59Is this why you're being so nice to me?
00:49:02Making me breakfast, being all protective
00:49:06It's just for the baby?
00:49:09Leila, you've been so strange since yesterday, why?
00:49:14Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:49:21Yes
00:49:29And then she got with Ethan
00:49:33Yes
00:49:35Okay, so I'm just-
00:49:36I'm Vivian and I'm-
00:49:38Sir, the Singapore Marjorie is falling apart
00:49:45We need you immediately
00:49:46I'm in the middle of something
00:49:48The board is threatening to pull out
00:49:51I'll be there
00:49:53We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back
00:50:01Of course, business first
00:50:03Lila
00:50:09Just go
00:50:10Sir, there have been complications
00:50:24Explain
00:50:25During an absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members
00:50:30Suggesting our sudden marriage plans indicate obstacle decision making
00:50:36Several executors are questioning if someone so personally distracted should inherit the company
00:50:43Mr. Grofford, we've been discussing my personal life
00:50:48Your sudden access has let me be very clear
00:50:56This company took a 40% profit loss before I took over
00:51:01Within three years, I tripled down market share
00:51:07Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge, my execution, my strategies
00:51:15So yes, I am getting married and yes, I took some time off and no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability
00:51:22Because without me, there wouldn't be a company left to be a company left to be a company left to inherit
00:51:29Now
00:51:35Shall we discuss the murder?
00:51:43Maybe there's going to be a company left to in here.
00:51:48Now, shall we discuss the murder?
00:52:13And will he be?
00:52:33Adrian!
00:52:35What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:52:39I was doing my job.
00:52:41Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:52:46Ever since she came into your life,
00:52:48you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:52:53You 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.
00:52:59Adults are talking business now.
00:53:02We just need to bore him for a moment, dear.
00:53:04Business matters.
00:53:06You wouldn't understand.
00:53:11That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:53:23She's nothing but a broodmare.
00:53:26After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:53:31Adrienne needs someone who understands this world.
00:53:34Someone like me.
00:53:37Vivienne is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:53:40Non-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
00:53:49that's all she's good for.
00:53:54Get out!
00:53:55Both of you!
00:53:56How dare you!
00:53:57If you dare mention my wife's name again,
00:53:59I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground
00:54:02before either of you get to touch it.
00:54:03Adrienne, be reasonable.
00:54:06She's worth a thousand of you.
00:54:08She's worth a thousand of you.
00:54:09Tomorrow, 9 a.m., Vivienne starts.
00:54:13No discussion.
00:54:14Is that all?
00:54:15Yes, for now.
00:54:16But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:17Is that all?
00:54:18Yes, for now.
00:54:19But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:20Don't disappoint me again.
00:54:50Stop it.
00:54:57Stop checking.
00:55:00This is ridiculous.
00:55:03I was independent before.
00:55:06I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed
00:55:10and to hold me whilst I sleep.
00:55:13No!
00:55:14I'm not going to be that girl.
00:55:20I can make my own meals.
00:55:22I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates
00:55:25or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:55:31A broodmare.
00:55:35Way to get back at Ethan.
00:55:40Arlo!
00:55:42I'm fine!
00:55:43You're not fine.
00:55:44Hospital!
00:55:45Now!
00:55:46I'm fine!
00:56:01Thanks.
00:56:02I know we've had our differences,
00:56:04but I really appreciated you today.
00:56:06You know,
00:56:09you used to look at me like that.
00:56:13All sweet.
00:56:14Sincere.
00:56:15Don't.
00:56:17Why not?
00:56:18Is there really no chance for us?
00:56:20Ethan!
00:56:23Lila, he's just using you.
00:56:26You're his revenge against me.
00:56:28A tool.
00:56:30And you deserve better than that.
00:56:32Adrian!
00:56:33Stop!
00:56:35What are you doing?
00:56:37I'm protecting you.
00:56:38From what?
00:56:39He's helping.
00:56:40He brought me here.
00:56:41My hand was bleeding.
00:56:42So now you're defending him?
00:56:43No, I'm defending the truth.
00:56:45Sometimes...
00:56:47I guess people surprise you.
00:56:49I see.
00:56:52Adrian...
00:56:54I'll call the doctor to come.
00:56:59I want a full blood panel,
00:57:00fetal monitoring,
00:57:01bring the OB-GYN down immediately.
00:57:04Sir, it's just a minor car.
00:57:06I want a full prenatal check-up.
00:57:08I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson.
00:57:09He's gonna be down here in 10 minutes.
00:57:10Always so control, aren't you uncle?
00:57:16Some 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.
00:57:33The Michelin star one.
00:57:35Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:57:38Oh, well done.
00:57:40No sauce.
00:57:42I don't think that I did say...
00:57:44How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:57:47Pride and Prejudice.
00:57:49BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:57:51She likes to watch it when she's feeling stressed.
00:57:53Which is why I upgraded our home theater system.
00:57:56To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:58:00You did what?
00:58:01Wow!
00:58:04Using 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.
00:58:18Oh, it's a fully funded.
00:58:20Anonymous donor.
00:58:26He may be able to offer you money, but you're gonna miss this.
00:58:30Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:58:46Just my mouth.
00:58:47I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins. They should arrive shortly.
00:58:52They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:58:56Wow, you remembered all that about me.
00:58:59I remember everything about you.
00:59:01Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:59:05Guys, she's tired. We should leave. Let her rest.
00:59:12Is this just another competition, Ethan? Or does he actually care?
00:59:27We can.
00:59:45Yes, father?
00:59:46Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:59:47Overworked, they say, from cleaning up your company's mess.
00:59:52I have meetings.
00:59:54Cancel them!
00:59:56Go to visit her right now.
00:59:58Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you,
01:00:02or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
01:00:05You came.
01:00:25Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
01:00:30Still so cold.
01:00:31Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was unwell?
01:00:36That was a long time ago.
01:00:38We were really great together, Adrian.
01:00:41We could be together again.
01:00:43I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
01:00:46What we had, I never took it as seriously as you pretended to.
01:00:51But Lila, she's different.
01:00:54She's real.
01:00:56A pregnant gold digger is real?
01:00:59Please.
01:01:02I guess some things never change.
01:01:12Watch your words.
01:01:14Stay away from my wife.
01:01:26My little girl.
01:01:28Daddy.
01:01:30Your hand.
01:01:32It's nothing.
01:01:35I need to tell you something.
01:01:38I'm gonna be a mother.
01:01:40Is it that Ethan boys?
01:01:41No, no.
01:01:42Then who?
01:01:43Who?
01:01:44It doesn't matter.
01:01:46But what does matter is that this is my baby.
01:01:49And I'm gonna love them so much with all the love that you gave me.
01:01:54Baby.
01:01:56Baby.
01:01:58I'm so sorry.
01:02:00I'm sorry I couldn't, couldn't give you better.
01:02:04Daddy.
01:02:05If only I were healthy, if I could work.
01:02:07Daddy, don't.
01:02:08The hospital bills, what are you getting money for?
01:02:14Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:02:17No, no, it's not like that.
01:02:19Did someone take advantage of you?
01:02:21My little girl pregnant all alone?
01:02:23She's not alone.
01:02:24She's not alone.
01:02:29Hi, Mr. Reid.
01:02:30I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:02:35I'm the father of her child.
01:02:37Adriana.
01:02:39I'm not just the father.
01:02:41I'm the man who's gonna spend the rest of his life making sure your daughter and our child get everything they deserve.
01:02:46Pretty words from a rich man.
01:02:49Not words. Facts.
01:02:51I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:02:54Full treatment plan, best specialists.
01:02:57Adriana.
01:02:59And I promise you this.
01:03:01Every morning, she's gonna wake up knowing that she is cherished.
01:03:05Every decision I make, every step I take will be to ensure her happiness.
01:03:10You really mean that, don't you?
01:03:12Yes, sir, I do.
01:03:15Well...
01:03:17Maybe...
01:03:19I can stop worrying now.
01:03:30For what you said in there.
01:03:32I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:03:34No, no, no, no.
01:03:35I wasn't just doing anything.
01:03:37Every word I said in there is true.
01:03:40Adriana.
01:03:46Laila, I need to tell you something.
01:03:49I've been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
01:03:55Yes, we had a contract, but...
01:03:57I realized...
01:03:59You've become everything to me.
01:04:02You're not my surrogate.
01:04:04You're not my convenient fiance.
01:04:07You're my partner.
01:04:11If you have me.
01:04:12If you have me.
01:04:16But what about Ethan and Vivian?
01:04:19What about them?
01:04:23Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan and...
01:04:25Revenge?
01:04:27I never loved Vivian.
01:04:29And Ethan, he's not worth a second thought.
01:04:32Really?
01:04:34And who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:04:39That was...
01:04:45I was jealous, okay?
01:04:48The thought of you with him.
01:04:50Wow.
01:04:51The great Mr. Crawford.
01:04:53Jealous.
01:04:54Don't mention that.
01:04:55I have a reputation to maintain.
01:04:57Hmm.
01:05:11I'm not letting you go.
01:05:13Not ever.
01:05:22Surrogacy?
01:05:24Contract of marriage?
01:05:26Oh, this is too perfect.
01:05:51I don't know.
01:05:52I don't know.
01:05:53I don't know.
01:05:54I don't know.
01:05:55I don't know.
01:05:56I don't know.
01:05:58I don't know.
01:05:59I don't know.
01:06:00I don't know.
01:06:01I don't know.
01:06:03Whiskey.
01:06:04Neat.
01:06:06What's so urgent?
01:06:08I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you.
01:06:12Is this about her and my uncle?
01:06:14It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:06:17Your perfect uncle?
01:06:19He hired her.
01:06:21She's just a surrogate.
01:06:23Their whole engagement is a lie.
01:06:27A contract.
01:06:30The board would love to hear about this.
01:06:34Next week's family meeting.
01:06:37We'll reveal everything.
01:06:39Until then, let's gather more evidence.
01:06:43And once he's ruined...
01:06:45I'll comfort him.
01:06:47Help him rebuild.
01:06:49He'll remember who he truly belongs with.
01:06:55And Lila?
01:06:57Well, once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:07:00You can have your little toy back.
01:07:05Cheers.
01:07:06Ethan's in meetings all afternoon.
01:07:24That's okay. I don't mind waiting.
01:07:28These documents require his immediate attention.
01:07:35Would you mind getting me some tea, dear?
01:07:43Sorry to see agreements.
01:07:45Medical contracts.
01:07:47Come on.
01:07:49The train's always so organized.
01:07:52Where is everything?
01:08:01It's just a stupid cat.
01:08:02Of course.
01:08:03You're just a stupid cat.
01:08:04Oh!
01:08:05No!
01:08:06Ah!
01:08:07Ah!
01:08:09Ah!
01:08:10Ah!
01:08:12Ah!
01:08:14Are you okay?
01:08:16You're a beast!
01:08:18Attach me!
01:08:20I need your bathroom.
01:08:21bathroom. Now!
01:08:30Atrian.
01:08:32I've been waiting
01:08:33for you.
01:08:42You know,
01:08:43if you need an heir,
01:08:45we could make one.
01:08:47Right here.
01:08:49Right now.
01:08:51Lil doesn't have to know.
01:08:54She's already asleep.
01:08:57It could just be
01:08:58our little secret.
01:09:02Here.
01:09:03In the living room.
01:09:07Wherever you want.
01:09:09Someone may see us.
01:09:11Are you scared?
01:09:16I know somewhere more.
01:09:18Right of it.
01:09:19Where are we going?
01:09:28Can't risk being interrupted,
01:09:30can we?
01:09:31Ladies first.
01:09:37Enjoy the fresh air.
01:09:39Adrian!
01:09:40Adrian!
01:09:41You can't do this to me!
01:09:43I'm a Crawford executor!
01:09:50Stop filming me!
01:09:52This is harassment!
01:09:53I will sue you!
01:09:54I will sue you so hard!
01:09:59Adrian!
01:10:00Adrian!
01:10:01Adrian, let me in!
01:10:02Everyone!
01:10:03This crisis could have destroyed us.
01:10:14But thanks to your tireless efforts,
01:10:17Crawford is stronger than ever
01:10:19to the best team in the business!
01:10:21Yeah!
01:10:22Thank you!
01:10:23I will sue you!
01:10:24I will sue you!
01:10:24I will sue you!
01:10:25I will sue you!
01:10:25I will sue you!
01:10:26I will sue you!
01:10:26I will sue you!
01:10:27Though, speaking of tonight's celebration,
01:10:30there's something you all should be prepared for.
01:10:33For what?
01:10:33My uncle is bringing his fiancée tonight.
01:10:39The thing is,
01:10:40her and I were together
01:10:41until very recently.
01:10:44I know, I know, I know.
01:10:48But please,
01:10:49when they arrive,
01:10:51act normal.
01:10:52I couldn't bear any drama.
01:10:54She left you for your uncle?
01:10:58These things happen.
01:11:02Everyone!
01:11:02I'd like to introduce you
01:11:04to my fiancée,
01:11:06Lila Reid.
01:11:07Hello, everybody.
01:11:07It's lovely to meet you all.
01:11:10I need to check some numbers.
01:11:14Did I do something wrong?
01:11:24How are you feeling?
01:11:26Is the morning sickness over 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 are you using?
01:11:40I could drive you next time.
01:11:41That's not necessary.
01:11:44Come on.
01:11:45We used to tell each other everything.
01:11:48Just want to make sure
01:11:49you're getting the proper care.
01:11:51If I know her hospital,
01:11:52then I can get her surrogate history.
01:11:54How thoughtful.
01:11:55How thoughtful.
01:11:56But Adrian handles all my appointments personally.
01:11:59The real hero of the hour!
01:12:02Beautiful, isn't she?
01:12:09The type of woman who belongs in Adrienne's world.
01:12:14Excuse me.
01:12:15You know how my uncle thinks.
01:12:18You know how my uncle thinks.
01:12:19Like a chess master.
01:12:21Every piece has its use.
01:12:24Some for business.
01:12:26Others for...
01:12:28You don't know him.
01:12:30Oh.
01:12:31But I do.
01:12:32Adrian Crawford cares exactly about one person.
01:12:36Adrian Crawford.
01:12:37He sees people as investments.
01:12:40Vivian?
01:12:40Perfect for managing the company.
01:12:43You?
01:12:44Well.
01:12:45I think we both know what your role is.
01:12:51He's wrong.
01:12:52He has to be wrong.
01:13:12Everyone in this world has their place.
01:13:15Their purpose.
01:13:18Maybe it's time I found mine again.
01:13:41Baby, when's the last time you ate something?
01:13:44I don't know.
01:13:45Breakfast?
01:13:46Breakfast?
01:13:47Yesterday's breakfast.
01:13:52That's enough for today.
01:13:54Okay.
01:13:58The prenatal instructor said this exercise should help.
01:14:02Okay.
01:14:03Like this?
01:14:04Uh, almost.
01:14:05Um, I think I need a little more instruction.
01:14:19Um, I think I need a little more instruction.
01:14:19Everything looks perfect.
01:14:32The baby's development's right on track.
01:14:45Really?
01:14:46The baby's development's right on track.
01:14:47Really?
01:14:49Really.
01:14:50Now that you're in the stable period, intimate relations is perfectly safe as long as you're
01:14:56gentle.
01:14:57Just listen to your bodies and...
01:15:00Yes, uh, thank you, doctor.
01:15:07Everything will be okay.
01:15:08Dr. Anderson?
01:15:21Let's talk about Adrian Crawford's arrangement.
01:15:33Dr. Anderson?
01:15:35Was it a surrogacy contract?
01:15:39Mr. Harrington?
01:15:41Dr. Patient Confidentiality.
01:15:43Hmm.
01:15:43I hear that the new hospital complex is looking for department heads.
01:15:51Wouldn't it be a shame if your name was mysteriously removed from the list?
01:16:01Now, about those hospital records.
01:16:05Oh, my God.
01:16:27Oh, my God.
01:16:32Surrogacy.
01:16:33Surrogacy.
01:16:34Five generations of Crawford dignity destroyed by tabloid gossip.
01:16:42I knew that girl was hiding something.
01:16:47Did you?
01:16:49Did you really pay some nobody to carry your heir?
01:16:53Tell me it isn't true.
01:17:02You.
01:17:03It's your doing.
01:17:05I...
01:17:06I...
01:17:06Adrian.
01:17:10I need to discuss something with you.
01:17:12Privately.
01:17:19Adrian.
01:17:20I can make all of this disappear.
01:17:22All you have to do is remember who you really belong 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 I deserve.
01:17:33As Mrs. Crawford by 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.
01:17:54I won't let them hurt you.
01:18:00It's not me I'm worried about.
01:18:02If they expose the truth about our arrangement, you could lose everything.
01:18:06Nothing's more important than you and our child.
01:18:11This emergency family meeting will come to order.
01:18:36I have proof.
01:18:39Miss Reed is not Adrian's loving bride-to-be.
01:18:44She's just a surrogate.
01:18:46Paid to carry the Crawford heir.
01:18:49I have proof too.
01:18:55Medical records from Crawford.
01:19:04Offer.
01:19:19Medical Center.
01:19:24Showing that Miss Reed.
01:19:28Underwent.
01:19:29Happy Treatment.
01:19:39M府.
01:19:49Detried.
01:19:51Mates.
01:19:53Mates.
01:19:53Mates.
01:19:55Mates.
01:19:59...for which she was generously compensated.
01:20:07Paid surrogacy.
01:20:09How common!
01:20:21Alright fine, you want the truth?
01:20:23Yes, it started with a surrogacy.
01:20:27But Lila, she's the woman I chose to be the mother of my child.
01:20:31And I won't let anyone here slander her.
01:20:35You want this arrangement? Fine.
01:20:39But then, it costs you everything.
01:20:51Resign from the company, give up your inheritance.
01:20:55The child can see in the family, of course.
01:20:59But the mother, well, her services won't be required after delivery.
01:21:03Yes, I did the IVF treatment.
01:21:13But I never, never saw this baby as a business transaction.
01:21:17You know what, you can say whatever you want about me.
01:21:23But don't you dare question my love for this child.
01:21:29I'm killed.
01:21:31Don't you dare to believe it.
01:21:33That's true.
01:21:39Enough!
01:21:41Enough!
01:21:46I'm willing to give up everything, the company, the inheritance, all of it.
01:22:16But I won't give up her.
01:22:22She's my wife, the only one that I will ever want.
01:22:27We're getting married.
01:22:29Properly.
01:22:31Publicly.
01:22:33Fine.
01:22:35You want to throw away everything for this, for this.
01:22:46This woman.
01:22:48Then 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, Adrian, stop.
01:23:03Not worth losing everything for.
01:23:05You're worth everything.
01:23:06The company, the assets, I built them once.
01:23:13I can build them again.
01:23:15But you.
01:23:17You and our child.
01:23:19You're our real future.
01:23:24Still time to think it over, son.
01:23:27Let's go.
01:23:35Let's go.
01:23:35Thanks.
01:23:57Thanks.
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.
01:24:29Hello?
01:24:30Hello?
01:24:31Hello?
01:24:32The Singapore merger just collapsed.
01:24:34They say they'll only work with Adrian.
01:24:36This is all your fault.
01:24:38You 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.
01:24:59Oh my God.
01:25:00This story sounds exactly like the Hell 4 scandal.
01:25:03Wait.
01:25:03Is this about the Adrian Crawford?
01:25:06The billionaire say you're giving up everything for love.
01:25:12I'm crying.
01:25:16Is everything okay?
01:25:17I think I just went viral.
01:25:21I 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 on true love businesses.
01:25:53Crawford industries lost my business.
01:25:55Team Adrian, all the way.
01:25:57Yes.
01:25:59Penguin Publishing.
01:26:00I'm sorry.
01:26:01I actually have Random House on the other line.
01:26:03I'm going to have to call you right back.
01:26:09I'm sorry.
01:26:09I'm going to have to call you right back.
01:26:11Okay.
01:26:13Don't put me right.
01:26:14What?
01:26:14Oh my God.
01:26:16My wife is so popular now.
01:26:17I know.
01:26:23Your father?
01:26:28Son.
01:26:29The board wants you back.
01:26:31Take your position.
01:26:33Your inheritance.
01:26:34I'll have to ask my wife.
01:26:36What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:26:44First 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 deal.
01:27:03You can't prove any great email, every call, every secret meeting with our competitors.
01:27:10All documented.
01:27:12Lawsuit's already been filed.
01:27:14You and Ethan will be hearing from our lawyers.
01:27:17Oh.
01:27:19Oh.
01:27:26Oh my God.
01:27:28Yeah.
01:27:29Mm.
01:27:30Mm.
01:27:31Mm.
01:27:32Mm.
01:27:33Adrian, I, uh, I think my water just broke.
01:27:38Yeah.
01:27:39Come home.
01:27:43Mr. Crawford, they vote for new director.

01:28:10Adrian and Lila were illegally married two months ago.
01:28:14And they have my full blessing.
01:28:31Both my girls still awake?
01:28:33I'm just finishing.
01:28:55Amen.
