Transcript
00:00:00Surrogacy, what's 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.
00:00:17Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:00:20If they don't see the real Ethan, I know he loves me.
00:00:30Oh my God, three years I've wasted on you.
00:00:36I'm not going to let you take this from me too.
00:00:39I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:00:41One appointment, one sperm donor, I can have a baby of my own.
00:00:49Understand this clearly.
00:00:51We'll be parents, nothing more.
00:00:58Surrogacy.
00:00:59Five generations of Crawford dignity destroyed by tabloid gossip.
00:01:05Adrian, I can make all of this disappear.
00:01:10Perfect couple of life until...
00:01:12All you have to do is remember who you really belong to.
00:01:18That's for every lie you just told.
00:01:21Your fault!
00:01:22You really plan to get rid of it.
00:01:26Get up!
00:01:27Three 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.
00:01:43But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:01:48I know he loves me.
00:01:51Thank you so much.
00:01:52I really, really appreciate it.
00:01:55Tonight, it will be our big night.
00:01:58And I'll give him all of me.
00:02:00We'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:02:03A family of R.O.
00:02:04A family of R.O.
00:02:04A family of R.O.
00:02:04A family of R.O.
00:02:05Amen.
00:02:16Oh, my God.
00:02:17I'm so sorry.
00:02:19I don't know.
00:02:49I don't know.
00:03:19I don't know.
00:03:49I don't know.
00:04:19These lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:04:23Screw you.
00:04:25I'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.
00:05:07The surrogate candidates are all thorough with Ivy League educated, impeccable 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.
00:05:23I don't need her.
00:05:24I don't want her.
00:05:29Go!
00:05:30Ah!
00:05:30Ah!
00:05:30Ah!
00:06:30Um, let's get started.
00:06:34Hey, um, education background.
00:06:38Excuse me?
00:06:39And I'm going to need a full medical history, specifically genetic disorders.
00:06:45Do you work out?
00:06:47I mean, you look acceptable.
00:06:54Do 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.
00:07:08I 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.
00:07:18So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:07:22You said Kroffo.
00:07:23I can't show how it.
00:07:25Thompson.
00:07:27Leave us.
00:07:27What are you doing?
00:07:32Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:07:35Thorough.
00:07:43Harvard Business School.
00:07:45MBA.
00:07:45Top of class.
00:07:47No family history of genetic disorders.
00:07:49I work you out five times a week.
00:07:51As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:08:02Now Thompson is gone.
00:08:05Are you comfortable to share yours?
00:08:06Um, yes.
00:08:08Of course.
00:08:12I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:08:14No genetic disorders.
00:08:16And I get regular checkups.
00:08:17Um, 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.
00:08:39$800.
00:08:41I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:08:44I 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.
00:08:55Talk to me.
00:08:56Bring in the contracts.
00:08:57All 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.
00:09:37You came to what?
00:09:39Ah, 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.
00:09:48Right, um, well, I guess, I guess I've, um, made a mistake, so I'm just gonna go.
00:09:55Wait!
00:09:58A million dollars.
00:10:00For 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.
00:10:29Hello?

00:10:42Doctor, how is he?
00:10:58How is my father?
00:10:59The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:11:03Then do something.
00:11:05Save him.
00:11:06Is there a treatment you can do?
00:11:08Uh, there is a new treatment.
00:11:11Okay, then, then let's do it.
00:11:12But maybe it's, uh, quite expensive.
00:11:15How much?
00:11:15Around one million dollars.
00:11:18A million dollars?
00:11:19Yes.
00:11:21Can I get a, a loan or something?
00:11:24Actually, this is a new technology.
00:11:26And there is no loan policy.

00:19:56Please!
00:20:26Sorry, didn't see you there.
00:20:40You're always in the way.
00:20:45Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancé.
00:20:49Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:51Catherine, please. We're family now.
00:20:53Supposedly.
00:20:56Helen, tea, please.
00:20:57Yes, Mrs. Crawford?
00:21:02So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:21:07Through mutual friends.
00:21:10Oh, really? Mutual friends.
00:21:16Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:21:22Unless this is more of a business arrangement.
00:21:26I'm sorry?
00:21:27Well, 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.
00:21:54I'd be honored.
00:21:55Hmm.
00:21:56Perfect.
00:21:58I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:22:03You can go now.
00:22:05Excuse me, Miss Rie.
00:22:18I need to clean.
00:22:19Of course.
00:22:20Let me just move this.
00:22:25Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:22:30How creative.
00:22:31Must be hiding your family, watching you chase after each man.
00:22:37Let me help you with this.
00:22:39My friend!
00:22:41How clumsy of me.
00:22:43You did that on purpose.
00:22:44Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:22:47She was just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:54Mr. Crawford, she just attacked me.
00:22:57I was trying to help with the...
00:23:01Get out!
00:23:02But I was just...
00:23:03One more word and you're fired.
00:23:06Get out.
00:23:14What happened?
00:23:16Nothing.
00:23:17I need some space.
00:23:18I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:23:20Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:23:21I need some space.
00:23:23You take the bed.
00:23:27I'll take the sofa.
00:23:29I miss you so much, Daddy.
00:23:32Don't worry about me, okay?
00:23:34As long as we can get you better,
00:23:36I won't let their words get to me, I promise.
00:23:40Lila, what happened?
00:23:42What should I do?
00:23:43What should I do?
00:23:43How's the happy couple?
00:24:06Oh, that's awkward.
00:24:08Just a small thing.
00:24:12Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:24:15It's okay.
00:24:16I'm here.
00:24:18You're safe.
00:24:20Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:22I'll get you.
00:24:53Focus. This is just a simple...
00:25:09Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:25:18Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:25:21Uh, yeah, I'm fine. I just need some assistance.
00:25:27Oh, do you need my help?
00:25:29No, uh, I didn't mean...
00:25:31Are you sure? Honestly, it's fine. I can come in if you need me to.
00:25:35Come in.
00:25:36So, do you want to help?
00:25:48Of course. What do you need me to?
00:25:50Oh, you're... Oh, you're...
00:25:57I'm so sorry. I didn't... I didn't realize. I'm just... I'm just gonna... just go somewhere. I just need you somewhere very far.
00:26:06Hey. Ah!
00:26:10Well, that was helpful.
00:26:17Are you okay?
00:26:18Yeah. Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:26:23It's causing you pain.
00:26:24Yeah, it's... It's a little uncomfortable, but I mean, it will... It will pass.
00:26:29Oh.
00:26:30Here.
00:26:32Oh. Oh. Okay.
00:26:34Thanks.
00:26:51Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically a work-related issue, and as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:04Oh.
00:27:28Purely professional care.
00:27:34Purely professional, huh?
00:27:50Adrian.
00:27:53Um, about this weekend...
00:27:55I'm sorry. There's an emergency in Atlanta. The merge is falling apart.
00:27:59Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:28:02Your family invited me to dinner. I 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 watch 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.
00:28:26What did you say she did, Ethan? Retail?
00:28:30Well, I have tried to be welcoming. I had the chef prepare her place, setting, and everything. She probably couldn't figure out which work to use, girl.
00:28:49I apologize for the slight delay.
00:29:04My, my, 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.
00:29:30Oh, darling.
00:29:32Woo! A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:29:35How quaint.
00:29:38At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian's socks.
00:29:42I 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?
00:29:57How much, how much will it take you to disappear in 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.
00:30:14Excuse me.
00:30:23Stay calm.
00:30:27You can do this.
00:30:33Getting all dressed up for me, baby.
00:30:43What's the rush?
00:30:45We're all family here.
00:30:47Well, almost family.
00:30:49Don't touch me.
00:30:51You used to like it when I touched you.
00:30:53Remember how shy you were?
00:30:56Always saying no.
00:30:58Run off me, bastard!
00:31:00Careful, Mel.
00:31:01One 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...
00:31:25Stop it.
00:31:30Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:31:33Stop it!
00:31:36Enough!
00:31:37No class?
00:31:39No manners?
00:31:40I don't know how you seduced my son, but someone like you could never deserve a place in this family!
00:31:47I...
00:31:48I...
00:31:49I'm the one who sued her.
00:31:56Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:32:01Adrian.
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.
00:32:22First woman who dared stand out to me.
00:32:25And that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:32:32Sir, two things.
00:32:33Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner, and your jet is ready.
00:32:37You can go now.
00:32:37Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:32:43Cancel it last.
00:32:44Also, the merger...
00:32:45Yes, sir.
00:32:49Funny, but last week, family's dinners were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:32:58Something's more important in business.
00:33:04Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:33:07Too bad it's either a complete lie, or she's been playing us both.
00:33:12What are you talking about?
00:33:16We've been dating for three years.
00:33:19I have pictures of us together.
00:33:25What?
00:33:27She 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 tree.
00:33:36Face it, Uncle.
00:33:37You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:40Oh, my God.
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!
00:33:57How 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, I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:34:10Thank you for coming back, and for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:34:16Your hands, what happened?
00:34:21What happened?
00:34:21As 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.
00:34:51Dr. Anderson?
00:34:58Mr. Crawford, the embryos are ready, so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:35:04I see.
00:35:08What is it?
00:35:09Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:11I've been thinking.
00:35:13Perhaps we should approach this matter in a more natural manner.
00:35:19Between a husband and a wife.
00:35:24What 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.
00:35:38Good night.
00:35:44You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit.
00:35:47Focus on the procedure.
00:35:52Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:36:00Right there.
00:36:02See that white spot?
00:36:06That's her baby.
00:36:07You 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.
00:36:35She's acting like a princess.
00:36:39She was probably a waitress last week.
00:36:44Now she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:36:48She was like, oh, my God.
00:36:49She was like, oh, my God.
00:37:10She was like, oh, my God.

00:52:16let me
00:52:17let me
00:52:18make sure
00:52:18Adrian, what the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:52:39I was doing my job.
00:52:40Your job is to follow the family strategy.
00:52:44Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:52:51You leave Lila out of this.
00:52:53You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:52:56Yeah, run along. Adults are talking business now.
00:53:00We just need to bore him for a moment, dear. Business matters. You wouldn't understand.
00:53:07That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:53:22She's nothing but a broodmare. After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:53:29Adrian needs someone who understands this world. Someone like me.
00:53:36Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow. Non-negotiable.
00:53:41She will follow you every day, just like before.
00:53:44And your little pet project can stay home and gestate. That's all she's good for.
00:53:50Get out! Both of you!
00:53:55How dare you?
00:53:56If you dare mention my wife's name again, I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before either of you get to touch it.
00:54:03Adrian, be reasonable.
00:54:05She's worth a thousand to you.
00:54:07Tomorrow, 9am, Vivian starts. No discussion.
00:54:14Is that all?
00:54:16Yes, for now. But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:37Stop it. Stop checking. This is ridiculous.
00:55:02I was independent before. I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep.
00:55:12No! I'm not going to be that girl.
00:55:18I can make my own meals.
00:55:21I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:55:27Poodman.
00:55:33Way to get back at Ethan.
00:55:39Phil!
00:55:40I'm fine!
00:55:42You're not fine! Hospital. Now!
00:55:44I'm fine!
00:55:57Thanks.
00:55:59I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciated you today.
00:56:04You know, you used to look at me like that.
00:56:10All sweet. Sincere.
00:56:13Don't.
00:56:15Why not? Is there really no chance for us?
00:56:18It's Anna.
00:56:20Why not? He's just using you.
00:56:23You're his revenge against me. A tool.
00:56:28And you deserve better than me.
00:56:30Adrian, stop!
00:56:33What are you doing?
00:56:35I'm protecting you.
00:56:36From what? He's helping. He brought me here. My hand was bleeding.
00:56:40So now you're defending him?
00:56:41No, I'm defending the truth.
00:56:43Sometimes, I guess people surprise you.
00:56:47I see.
00:56:49Adrian.
00:56:51I'll call the doctor to come.
00:56:57I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OBGYN down immediately.
00:57:02Sir, it's just the minor car.
00:57:04I want a full prenatal check-up.
00:57:06I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson. He's going to be down here in 10 minutes.
00:57:10Always so controlled.
00:57:12Aren't you, Uncle?
00:57:14Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:57:19Remember our beach dates?
00:57:23How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:57:29Thompson, bring in the catering. The Michelin star one.
00:57:33Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:57:36Oh, well done. No sauce.
00:57:39I don't think that I did say-
00:57:41How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:57:44Pride and Prejudice. BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:57:48She likes to watch it when she's still in stress.
00:57:51Which is why I upgraded our home theater system.
00:57:54To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:57:57You did what?
00:57:58Wow!
00:58:00Using money to get to her heart.
00:58:04Huh, Uncle?
00:58:05Oh!
00:58:06Well, see.
00:58:08Ooh, the Alzheimer's ring is fully renovated.
00:58:11Named after Lila's grandmother.
00:58:13I bet she mentioned it.
00:58:15Oh, it's a fully funded.
00:58:17Anonymous donor.
00:58:19He may be able to offer you money, but you're gonna miss this.
00:58:28Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:58:43I'm trying to smile enough.
00:58:47I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins.
00:58:49They should arrive shortly.
00:58:50They're custom formulated through her blood and genetic profile.
00:58:53Wow.
00:58:54He remembered all that about me.
00:58:56I remember everything about you.
00:59:02Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:59:08Guys, she's tired.
00:59:09We should leave.
00:59:10Let her rest.
00:59:20Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:59:23Or does he actually care?
00:59:26Yes, father?
00:59:27Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:59:28Overwork, they say.
00:59:29From cleaning up your company's mess.
00:59:30I have meetings.
00:59:31Cancel them.
00:59:32Go to visit her right now.
00:59:34Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you.
00:59:36Or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
00:59:37I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
00:59:38I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
00:59:44I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
00:59:45I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
00:59:49I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
00:59:50I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
00:59:56Show proper respect to the woman I chose for you or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting
01:00:19You came
01:00:23Let's skip the performance
01:00:27It's still so cold
01:00:30Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was unwell?
01:00:33That was a long time ago
01:00:36We were really great together, Adrian
01:00:39We could be together again
01:00:40I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work
01:00:44What we had, I never took it as seriously as you pretended to
01:00:49But Lila, she's different
01:00:52She's real
01:00:52Pregnant gold digger is real? Please
01:00:57I guess something has never changed
01:01:05Watch your words
01:01:11Stay away from my wife
01:01:14A little girl
01:01:24Daddy
01:01:25No
01:01:26Your hand
01:01:29It's nothing
01:01:30I need to tell you something
01:01:34I'm gonna be a mother
01:01:37Is it that Ethan boys?
01:01:39No, no
01:01:40Then who?
01:01:41It doesn't matter
01:01:42But what does matter
01:01:43But what does matter is that this is my baby
01:01:46And I'm gonna love them
01:01:47And I'm gonna love them so much
01:01:49With all the love that you gave me
01:01:51Baby

01:02:09What are you getting money for?
01:02:11Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men
01:02:14No, no, it's not like that
01:02:16Did someone take advantage of you?
01:02:18My little girl pregnant all alone?
01:02:21She's not alone
01:02:26Hi, Mr. Reid
01:02:28I'm Adrian Crawford
01:02:33I'm the father of her child
01:02:36I'm not just the father
01:02:37I'm the man who's gonna spend the rest of his life
01:02:40Making sure your daughter and our child
01:02:42Get everything they deserve
01:02:43Pretty words from the rich man
01:02:46Not words, facts
01:02:48I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility
01:02:51Full treatment plan, best specialists
01:02:54Adrian
01:02:56And I promise you this
01:02:59Every morning she's gonna wake up knowing that she is cherished
01:03:03Every decision I make, every step I take will be to ensure her happiness
01:03:07You really mean that, don't you?
01:03:09Yes, sir, I do
01:03:10Well
01:03:15Maybe
01:03:16I can stop worrying
01:03:25Thank you
01:03:26For what you said in there
01:03:29I know you were just trying to make my father
01:03:30No
01:03:31No, no, no, no
01:03:32I wasn't just doing anything
01:03:34Every word I said in there is true
01:03:36Adrian
01:03:38Laila, I need to tell you something
01:03:45I've been falling for you
01:03:47Ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire
01:03:52Yes, we had a contract
01:03:53Yes, we had a contract, but
01:03:54I realized
01:03:55You've become everything to me
01:03:59You're not my surrogate
01:04:02You're not my convenient fiance
01:04:06You're my partner
01:04:09If you have me
01:04:13But what about Ethan and Vivian?
01:04:15What about them?
01:04:19Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan?
01:04:21And if you're so...
01:04:22Revenge?
01:04:23I never loved Vivian
01:04:25And Ethan, he's not worth a second thought
01:04:28Really?
01:04:30And who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:04:35That was...
01:04:41I was jealous, okay?
01:04:43I thought of you with him
01:04:46Wow
01:04:47The great Mr. Crawford, jealous
