Short filmTranscript
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-dun-dun.
00:01:14All you have to do is remember who you really belong with.
00:01:18That's for every lie you just told.
00:01:21It's your fault! You don't feel the 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.
00:01:46But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:01:48I know he loves me.
00:01:51Thank you so much. I 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.
00:02:25I'm so sorry.
00:02:38Oh, my God.
00:03:08Oh, my God.
00:03:36Marla, you're early.
00:03:39Why so shocked, babe?
00:03:41You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:03:45Come and join us.
00:03:48Three years.
00:03:54Three years.
00:03:55I wasted on you.
00:03:58God, I'm such an idiot.
00:04:00I was thinking I was going to have a baby with you.
00:04:05Baby?
00:04:07Sweetheart, you 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,
00:04:19these lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:04:22Screw 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.
00:05:29Ah! Ah! Ah!
00:05:38Miss,
00:06:07Are you here for the interview?
00:06:11The interview?
00:06:12Yes, of course.
00:06:23Please sit.
00:06:30Right, um, let's get started.
00:06:33Hey, um, education background.
00:06:39Excuse me?
00:06:40And I'm going to need a full medical history, specifically genetic disorders.
00:06:46Do you work out?
00:06:47Do you have any idea who I am?
00:07:00I'm just trying to be thorough.
00:07:03It's about creating a healthy baby, after all.
00:07:08Why 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?
00:07:22It's a craft car.
00:07:23I can show how it.
00:07:25Thompson, leave us.
00:07:30What 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.
00:08:03Now Thompson is gone, are 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, and I get regular checkups.
00:08:18Um, I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:08:23You 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.
00:08:39Eight hundred.
00:08:41I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:08:45I know, I know it's not a lot of money, but considering the quality, um, I could, I can help, I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:08:56Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:08:58Oh, all of this?
00:09:07Seriously?
00:09:09Take 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?
00:09:21That's standard procedure for surrogacy arrangements.
00:09:30Surrogacy?
00:09:31Surrogacy.
00:09:32The position you're interviewing for.
00:09:34Interview?
00:09:35I'm hated by sperm.
00:09:38You came to what?
00:09:39Uh, I 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.
00:09:55Wait!
00:09:59A million dollars.
00:10:01For carrying my child.
00:10:04I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:10:07Not somebody else's.
00:10:10Ah, you might need that.
00:10:12Clean this up.
00:10:22Bring in the next.
00:10:30Hello?
00:10:31Miss Reed, your father.
00:10:33You need to come now.
00:10:35Okay, I'm coming.
00:10:42Doctor, how is he?
00:10:58How is my father?
00:11:00The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:11:03Then, then do something.
00:11:05Save him.
00:11:06Is there, is there a treatment you can do?
00:11:09Uh, there is a new treatment.
00:11:11Okay, then, then let's do it.
00:11:13But maybe it's, uh, quite expensive.
00:11:15How much?
00:11:16Around one million dollars.
00:11:18A million dollars?
00:11:20Yes.
00:11:21Can I get a, a loan or something?
00:11:25Actually, this is a new technology.
00:11:27And there is no loan policy.
00:11:28Sorry.
00:11:28Sorry.
00:11:28Oh, my God.

00:20:40You're always in the way.
00:20:44Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancé.
00:20:49Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:50Catherine, please. We're family now. Supposedly.
00:20:55Helen, tea, please.
00:20:57Yes, Mrs. Crawford.
00:21:01So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:21:05Through mutual friends.
00:21:08Oh, really? Mutual friends?
00:21:13Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:21:21Unless this is more of a business arrangement?
00:21:25I'm sorry?
00:21:26Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved.
00:21:33The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:21:38Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancé, your presence is required.
00:21:53I'd be honored.
00:21:55Perfect. I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:22:01You can go now.
00:22:04Excuse me, Miss Rie. I need to clean.
00:22:18Of course. Let me just...
00:22:20Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:22:27How creative.
00:22:31Must be hard on your family.
00:22:33Watching you chase after rich men.
00:22:36Let me help you with this.
00:22:38My friends!
00:22:40How clumsy of me.
00:22:42You did that on purpose.
00:22:44Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:22:46You're just some trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:50Mr. Crawford! She just attacked me!
00:22:59I was trying to help with the...
00:23:00Get out!
00:23:01But I was just...
00:23:02One more word, and you're fired.
00:23:05Get out!
00:23:14What happened?
00:23:15Nothing.
00:23:16I need some space. I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:23:19Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:23:21I need some space.
00:23:25You take the bed. I'll take the sofa.
00:23:29I miss you so much, Daddy.
00:23:31Don't worry about me, okay?
00:23:33As long as we can get you better,
00:23:35I won't let their words get to me, I promise.
00:23:39Lila, what happened?
00:23:41What should I do?
00:23:43How's the happy couple?
00:23:56How's the happy couple?
00:24:06Oh, that's awkward.
00:24:08Just a small break.
00:24:11Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:24:13It's okay.
00:24:15I'm here.
00:24:17You're safe.
00:24:20Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:38Focus.
00:25:06Focus.
00:25:07This is just a simple medical procedure.
00:25:12Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:25:19Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:25:22Um, yeah, I'm fine. I just need some assistance.
00:25:27Oh, do you need my help?
00:25:29No, I didn't mean...
00:25:31Are you sure? Honestly, it's fine. I can come in if you need me to.
00:25:35Come in.
00:25:37So, you want to help?
00:25:48Of course. What do you need me to...
00:25:54Oh, you're...
00:25:56Oh, you're...
00:25:57I'm so sorry. I didn't realize.
00:26:00I'm just gonna just go somewhere.
00:26:04I just need you somewhere.
00:26:05I'm very sure. Hey. Ah!
00:26:07Let's go.
00:26:10Well, that was helpful.
00:26:17Are you okay?
00:26:19Yeah. Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:26:23It's causing you pain.
00:26:24Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable.
00:26:26Well, but I mean, it will... It will pass.
00:26:30Oh.
00:26:31Here.
00:26:33Oh, okay.
00:26:34Okay.
00:26:40Mm.
00:26:41Thanks.
00:26:42Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically
00:26:56a work-related issue, and as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:02Purely professional care.
00:27:30Purely professional, huh?
00:27:42Adrian.
00:27:44Um, about this weekend...
00:27:54I'm sorry. There's an emergency in Atlanta. The merge is falling apart.
00:27:59Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:28:03Your family invited me to dinner. Guess 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
00:28:17watch in her life.
00:28:18I introduce him to the Lawson Harris, the senator's daughter. I don't understand why he picked this
00:28:25gold digger from God knows where.
00:28:28What did you say she did, Ethan? Retail?
00:28:31Well, worse. A wannabe writer. She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:28:41Well, I have tried to be welcoming. I had the chef prepare her place, setting, and everything.
00:28:47She probably couldn't figure out which work do you do, though.
00:28:49I apologize for the sight delay.
00:29:07My, my. Trying so hard to look the part.
00:29:12James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner.
00:29:16I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:29:19And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breeding.
00:29:24Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:29:31Oh, darling.
00:29:32A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:29:35How quaint.
00:29:39At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian's socks.
00:29:42I 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?
00:29:55The difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford, is that I don't think that everything comes with a price tag.
00:30:14Excuse me.
00:30:15Stay calm.
00:30:24You can do this.
00:30:31Getting 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.
00:30:54Remember how shy you were?
00:30:56Always saying no.
00:30:58Land off me, bastard!
00:31:00Careful, though.
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?
00:31:18Everything all right, dear?
00:31:20You look flushed.
00:31:22So, as I was saying about the muscles...
00:31:28Stop it!
00:31:30Something wrong, Ms. Reed?
00:31:32No, I just...
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.
00:32:00Adrienne.
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...
00:32:18Refused me several times.
00:32:20Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:32:22The first woman who dared to stand out to me, and that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:32:27I...
00:32:28I...
00:32:28Sir, two things.
00:32:33Your sister has invited me to read to tonight's family dinner, and your jet is ready.
00:32:37We can go now.
00:32:38Cancel it, Lance.
00:32:44What's the merger?
00:32:47Yes, sir.
00:32:50Funny, but last week's family's dinners were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:32:58Something's more important in business.
00:33:00Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:33:08Too bad it's either a complete lie, or she's been playing us both.
00:33:14What are you talking about?
00:33:16We've been dating for three years.
00:33:20I have pictures of us together.
00:33:25What?
00:33:26She probably planned this from the start.
00:33:29Dating me to get close to the family, then setting her sights higher.
00:33:34You manipulative little trick.
00:33:36Face it, Uncle.
00:33:37You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:42Face 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.
00:33:56Adrian, how 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.
00:34:08I'm sorry.
00:34:09I 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.
00:34:20Your hands, what happened?
00:34:21What happened?
00:34:22What happened?
00:34:26As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:41I expect you to use them.
00:34:43I didn't want to presume.
00:34:45You're a Crawford now.
00:34:46Dr. Anderson?
00:34:58Mr. Crawford, the embryos are ready, so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:35:05I see.
00:35:08What is it?
00:35:09Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:11I've been thinking, perhaps we should approach this matter in a more natural manner between a husband and wife.
00:35:25What are your thoughts?
00:35:28I think that we should go to bed.
00:35:32We have a really big day tomorrow.
00:35:35So, let me know.
00:35:39Good night.
00:35:39Good night.
00:35:39Good night.
00:35:41You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit.
00:35:49Focus on the procedure.
00:35:53Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:36:01There.
00:36:03See that Y spot?
00:36:06That's our baby.
00:36:07Good night.
00:36:07Good night.
00:36:11You 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.
00:36:24Look at her.
00:36:36She's acting like a princess.
00:36:38She was probably a waitress last week.
00:36:42Now she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:36:48What the hell?
00:36:52We here's going to be a 할 study.
00:36:57Wait.
00:36:58I found her purse.
00:37:00I'm starting to restaurant here now.
00:37:01I'm starting to find her property.
00:37:04Honestly, she's going to go for real.
00:37:05I don't know why.
00:37:06So this is not her pick.
00:37:09I think that's BC's work.
00:37:11She was acaboudологin.
00:37:12Adrian!
00:37:23Hmm, not quite.
00:37:24Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:37:26Let go of me!
00:37:28Come on, you used to love being in my arms.
00:37:32Remember how we would spend hours at the cafe?
00:37:35You would lean into me while reading your favorite book?
00:37:38Did she?
00:37:42Adrian! I was just getting food, I swear.
00:37:48Get out!
00:37:53Stomach.
00:37:55Lila, what's wrong?
00:37:56My stomach, I think that there's something wrong.
00:37:59If anything, anything happens to my fiancé or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:38:05And you, what you want, you'll never have.
00:38:10Never.
00:38:17Child.
00:38:18Three years she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:38:22And a few weeks with my uncle, and she's carrying his child.
00:38:26You want the perfect family?
00:38:29Well, it's not gonna happen.
00:38:32Thompson, clear my schedule.
00:38:45Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:47Sir, what happened?
00:38:49Do you need my help?
00:38:50You can't help on this one.
00:38:51Just do what I say.
00:38:52You and Ethan, you've never really gotten along, have you?
00:38:58Why is that?
00:39:09You seem very concerned about him.
00:39:11I just...
00:39:12Just get some rest.
00:39:14It's been a rough day for you.
00:39:15Adrian, why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:39:18No 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.
00:39:28Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:39:30Anything I want?
00:39:32Are you sure about that?
00:39:33What are you doing?
00:40:02This isn't nutritious.
00:40:05The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:07The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:09Yeah.
00:40:10And chips and ice cream.
00:40:13You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you?
00:40:17I've been researching optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:40:20See, week by week, guidelines.
00:40:23Okay, okay, okay.
00:40:24How about a compromise?
00:40:26One treat per day.
00:40:28Half a treat.
00:40:30Three quarters.
00:40:32I've been thinking of sending it to you.
00:40:53Congratulations.
00:40:55The fetus is developing perfectly.
00:40:57Really?
00:40:59Everything looks wonderful.
00:41:02Now that we're in the stable period,
00:41:04I 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.
00:41:25Good drink. Let's do it properly.
00:41:27Guide her arms up.
00:41:38This is a little implant.
00:41:40And now, the supporting stretch.
00:41:50Oh, great drink.
00:41:52Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:41:59Maybe we should continue this at home.
00:42:01Yeah, please.
00:42:02Please.
00:42:03No.
00:42:04No.
00:42:05No.
00:42:06No.
00:42:07Okay.
00:42:20The charity gala isn't a test.
00:42:22test. Your father specifically invited me to attend. You look perfect. Just be yourself.
00:42:52Then...this...this is not me.
00:43:19Adrian, it's been too long. You look exactly the same. And you must be the fiance. I'm so pleased
00:43:43Adrian has found someone after all these years. That's really kind, but I'm sorry, who are
00:43:49you? I'm just someone who cares about Adrian's happiness. More than anyone else.
00:43:56Oh, my God! You two are finally back together. Everyone, look who's here, the golden couple.
00:44:11I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged. I knew it was you, Vivian. When is the wedding?
00:44:18Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiance, Lala Reid. We're expecting our first
00:44:35child. And of course, you're all welcome to the wedding. She's pregnant? Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:44:42I just assumed congratulations for you both. Adrian Crawford in a complete unknown. How did
00:44:52you manage that? Adrian Crawford over Vivian? Is he crazy? Oh, Benji, how have you been? Great. Let's go,
00:45:01man.
00:45:03They can be so judgmental, can't they? Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:45:19Gentlemen, what are y'all talking about?
00:45:27They do look like the perfect couple.
00:45:42Drinking? I thought you were pregnant.
00:45:45None of your business.
00:45:50You know how Adrian is. Always has to win. Especially against me. He hates when I take things from him.
00:45:58What are you talking about?
00:45:59Perfect couple, right?
00:46:08Perfect couple, right?
00:46:10Until...
00:46:11Dun-dun-dun...
00:46:12Vivian fell madly in love with me, leaving dear uncle heartbroken.
00:46:20Since then, whatever I want, he has to take. Whatever I have, he has to win. Like you.
00:46:32What you want, you never have. Never.
00:46:36You and Ethan, you've never really gone along, have you?
00:46:40You don't get it. Stop being naive. You're just his tool for revenge.
00:46:55I'm just his tool for revenge?
00:46:57What do you think you're doing?
00:47:13You are pregnant. Why are you drinking?
00:47:16Oh, now you can't.
00:47:20It's soda. I 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 talk to Ethan, but not me.
00:47:45Well, you do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:48:05Lila, open the door.
00:48:10Please.
00:48:11Please.
00:48:15The eggs are still warm.
00:48:43The eggs are still warm.
00:48:45I apologize about last night. I was, I was just worried about you.
00:48:50Worried about me or worried about the baby?
00:48:57What do you mean?
00:48:58Is this why you're being so nice to me?
00:49:02Making me breakfast, being all protective.
00:49:05It's just for the baby?
00:49:08Lila, you're being so strange since yesterday. Why?
00:49:12Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:49:21Yes.
00:49:28And then she got with Ethan?
00:49:33Yes.
00:49:35Okay, so, so I'm just...
00:49:36Vivian and I...
00:49:37Sir, the Singapore version is falling apart.
00:49:46We need you immediately.
00:49:47I'm in the middle of something.
00:49:49The board is threatening to pull out.
00:49:52I'll be there.
00:49:59We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back.
00:50:02Of course.
00:50:03Business first.
00:50:03Lila.
00:50:09Lila.
00:50:10Just go.
00:50:22Sir, there have been complications.
00:50:25Explain.
00:50:25During her absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members, suggesting her sudden marriage plans indicate obstacle decision-making.
00:50:35Several executors are questioning if someone so personally distracted should inherit the company.
00:50:55Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing my personal life. Your subtle access has let me be very clear.
00:51:12This company took a 40% profit loss before I took over. Within three years, I tripled our market share.
00:51:20Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge, my execution, my strategies.
00:51:28So yes, I am getting married. And yes, I took some time off.
00:51:33And no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:51:42Because without me, there wouldn't be a company left to inherit.
00:51:47Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:52:17Question 3
00:52:25dinosaur fusion
00:52:30Adrian!
00:52:31What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:52:36I was doing my job.
00:52:37you thinking at the board meeting yesterday? I was doing my job. Your job is to follow the family
00:52:44strategy. Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:52:52You leave Lila out of this. You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this. Yeah,
00:52:58run along. Adults are talking business now. We just need to bore him for a moment, dear.
00:53:04Business matters. You wouldn't understand.
00:53:14That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:53:23She's nothing but a broodmare. After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:53:31Adrienne needs someone who understands this world. Someone like me.
00:53:37Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow. Non-negotiable. She will follow you every day,
00:53:44just like before. And your little pet project can't stay home and gestate. That's all she's good for.
00:53:51more. Get out! Both of you. How dare you? If you dare mention my wife's name again. I will burn Crawford
00:54:01Industries to the ground before either of you get to touch it. Adrienne, be reasonable. She is worth a
00:54:07thousand of you. Tomorrow, 9 a.m. Vivian starts. No discussion. Is that all? Yes, for now. But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:24And become myself. Are you ready? That's all. And beijing.
00:54:32You love me.
00:54:46Where are you?
00:54:49You've come.
00:54:51Stop it! Stop checking. This is ridiculous. I was independent before. I don't need a man
00:55:07to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep. No! I'm not going to be that
00:55:15girl. I can make my own meals. I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his
00:55:25nutritional spreadsheets. A broodmare. Way to get back at Ethan.
00:55:36Milo! I'm fine! You're not fine. Hospital! Now! I'm fine!
00:56:00Thanks. I know we've had our differences but I really appreciated you today.
00:56:06You know, you used to look at me like that. All sweet. Sincere.
00:56:14Don't. Why not? Is there really no chance for us?
00:56:20Ethan. Lila, he's just using you. You're his revenge against me. A tool. And you deserve better than me.
00:56:31Adrian, stop! What are you doing? I'm protecting you.
00:56:38From what? He's helping. He brought me here. My hand was bleeding.
00:56:41So now you're defending him? No, I'm defending the truth. Sometimes, I guess people surprise you.
00:56:49I see.
00:56:51Adrian.
00:56:52I'll call the doctor to come.
00:56:58I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OB-GYN down immediately.
00:57:04Sir, it's just the minor car.
00:57:06I want a full prenatal checkup. I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson. He's going to be down here in 10 minutes.
00:57:11Always so controlled. Aren't you, Uncle?
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?
00:57:29Thompson, 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. No sauce.
00:57:41I don't think that I did say...
00:57:43How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:57:47Pride and Prejudice. BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:57:50She likes to watch it when she's still in stress.
00:57:53Which is why I upgraded our home theater system.
00:57:56To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:57:59You did what?
00:58:00Wow!
00:58:04Using money to get to her heart.
00:58:06Huh, Uncle?
00:58:10Oh, the Alzheimer's ring is fully renovated.
00:58:14Named after Lila's grandmother, as she mentioned.
00:58:17Oh, it's a fully funded.
00:58:20Anonymous donor.
00:58:21Hmm.
00:58:26He may be able to offer you money,
00:58:28but you're going to miss this.
00:58:43Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:58:45Oh, my God.
00:58:46Oh, my God.
00:58:46Oh, my God.
00:58:47Oh, my God.
00:58:47Oh, my God.
00:58:50I'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.
00:59:00Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:59:10Guys, she's tired.
00:59:12We should leave.
00:59:12Let her rest.
00:59:13Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:59:25Or does he actually care?
00:59:27Yes, father?
00:59:45Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:59:48Overwork, they say, from cleaning up your company's mess.
00:59:52I have meetings.
00:59:53Cancel them.
00:59:55Go to visit her right now.
00:59:58Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you,
01:00:01or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
01:00:05You came.
01:00:25Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
01:00:29Still so cold.
01:00:31Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was unwell?
01:00:35That was a long time ago.
01:00:38We were really great together, Adrian.
01:00:41We could be together again.
01:00:43I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
01:00:46What we had,
01:00:47I never took it as seriously as 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.
01:00:59I guess some things never change.
01:01:12Watch your words.
01:01:14Stay away from my wife.
01:01:16My little girl.
01:01:27Daddy.
01:01:30Your hand.
01:01:31It's nothing.
01:01:34I need to tell you something.
01:01:37I'm going to be a mother.
01:01:40Is it that Ethan boys?
01:01:41No.
01:01:41No, no.
01:01:42Then who?
01:01:44It doesn't matter.
01:01:45But what does matter is that this is my baby.
01:01:49And I'm going to love them so much.
01:01:52With all the love that you gave me.
01:01:56Baby.
01:01:58I'm so sorry.
01:01:59I'm sorry I couldn't give you better.
01:02:03If only I were healthy, if I could work.
01:02:07Daddy, don't.
01:02:10The hospital bills.
01:02:12What are you getting money for?
01:02:14Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:02:17No, no.
01:02:17It's not like that.
01:02:19Did someone take advantage of you?
01:02:21My little girl pregnant all alone.
01:02:24She's not alone.
01:02:25Hello.
01:02:29Hi, Mr. Reid.
01:02:30I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:02:35I'm the father of her child.
01:02:37Adrian.
01:02:39I'm not just the father.
01:02:41I'm the man who's going to spend the rest of his life
01:02:43making sure your daughter and our child
01:02:44get everything they deserve.
01:02:46Pretty words from a rich man.
01:02:49Not words.
01:02:50Facts.
01:02:51I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:02:54Full treatment plan.
01:02:55Best specialists.
01:02:56Adrian.
01:02:57And I promise you this.
01:03:01Every morning, she's going to wake up
01:03:03knowing that she is cherished.
01:03:05Every decision I make, every 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 I can stop worrying.
01:03:20Thank you for what you said in there.
01:03:31I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:03:34No, no, no, no.
01:03:35I wasn't just doing anything.
01:03:37Every word I said in there is true.
01:03:40Adrian.
01:03:40Lila, I need to tell you something.
01:03:49I've been falling for you ever since you crashed in my office
01:03:52with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
01:03:55Yes, we had a contract, but...
01:03:58I realized...
01:04:00you've become everything to me.
01:04:02You're not my surrogate.
01:04:05You're not my convenient fiancé.
01:04:07You're my partner.
01:04:12If you have me.
01:04:16But what about Ethan and Vivian?
01:04:19What about them?
01:04:23Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan?
01:04:26Revenge?
01:04:27I never loved Vivian.
01:04:29And Ethan, he's not worth a second thought.
01:04:31Really?
01:04:33Then who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:04:37That was...
01:04:42I was jealous, okay?
01:04:47I thought of you with him.
01:04:50Wow.
01:04:51The great Mr. Crawford.
01:04:53Jealous.
01:04:54Don't mention it.
01:04:55I have a reputation to maintain.
01:04:56Hmm.
01:04:57I'm not letting you go.
01:05:13Not ever.
01:05:14Surrogacy?
01:05:24Contract of marriage?

01:20:18All right, fine. You want the truth?
01:20:23Yes, it started with a surrogacy.
01:20:27But Lilo, 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?
01:20:36Fine.
01:20:38But then, it costs you everything.
01:20:48Resign from the company. Give up your inheritance.
01:20:55The child can see in the family. Of course.
01:20:58But the mother, well, her services won't be required after delivery.
01:21:02Yes. I did the IVF treatment.
01:21:13But I never, never saw this baby as a business transaction.
01:21:17You know what? You can say whatever you want about me.
01:21:25But don't you dare question my love for this child.
01:21:29Enough!
01:21:46I'm willing to give up everything.
01:22:11The company, the inheritance, all of it.
01:22:19But I won't give up her.
01:22:22She's my wife.
01:22:24The only one that I will ever want.
01:22:25We're getting married.
01:22:29Properly.
01:22:31Publicly.
01:22:33Fine.
01:22:35You want to throw away...
01:22:36Everything.
01:22:40For this.
01:22:42For this woman.
01:22:48Then, you will get nothing from this family.
01:22:52Nothing!
01:22:52Sign it.
01:22:55Renounce your inheritance.
01:22:56All of it.
01:23:00No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:23:02Adrian, stop.
01:23:03Not worth losing everything for.
01:23:05You're worth everything.
01:23:10The 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.
01:23:20Still time to think it over, son.
01:23:34Let's go.
01:23:35Let's go.
01:23:50Thanks.
01:23:59You'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.
01:24:49Oh my god, this story sounds exactly like the powerful scandal.
01:25:03Wait, is this about the Adrian Crawford?
01:25:08The billionaire CEO giving up everything for love.
01:25:12I'm crying.
01:25:12Is 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?
01:25:28I don't know.
01:25:42Have you seen the comments?
01:25:45They're culling us heartless villains!
01:25:49Can'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.
01:25:59Yes, Penguin Publishing.
01:26:00Um, sorry, I actually have Random House on the other line,
01:26:03so I'm gonna have to...
01:26:05The movie rights?
01:26:08Um, sorry, I'm gonna have to call you right back.
01:26:11Okay, thank you.
01:26:13The 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?
01:26:28Son, the board wants you back.
01:26:31Take your position, your inheritance.
01:26:34I'll have to ask my wife.
01:26:38What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:26:41First 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,
01:27:07every 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.
01:27:15Oh my god.
01:27:27Oh my god.
01:27:28Yeah.
01:27:33Adrian, I, uh, I think my water just broke.
01:27:38Yeah.
01:27:39Come home.
01:27:40Mr. Crawford, they vote for new director.
01:27:50For her, he'd drop everything.
01:27:55Including a multi-billion dollar company.
01:27:57Before we vote, there is something you should know.
01:28:10Adrian and Lila were illegally married two months ago.
01:28:16And they have my full blessing.
01:28:19Both my girls still awake?
01:28:40I'm just finishing.
01:28:42I'm just finishing.
