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