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.
00:00:19If 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 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.
00:01:10You've got the couple, right? Until...
00:01:14All you have to do is remember who you really belong with.
00:01:17That's for every lie you just told.
00:01:21Your fault!
00:01:22You really plan to get rid of...
00:01:26Get up!
00:01:35Three years...
00:01:36Three years I've loved him.
00:01:38Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:01:40That 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.
00:01:56Tonight, 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.
00:02:13Oh my god...
00:02:17I'm so sorry.
00:02:18I'm so sorry.
00:02:19Oh, my God.
00:02:49Oh, my God.
00:03:19Oh, 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 I wasted on you!
00:03:56Oh, my God, I'm such an idiot to think I was going to have a baby with you.
00:04:04Oh, 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,
00:04:17these 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.
00:04:42You know what?
00:04:43I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:46One appointment, one sperm donut.
00:04:48I 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 all the words,
00:05:11Ivy League are 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 need someone who knows your place and will disappear after delivery.
00:05:53Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:06:10The interview?
00:06:12Yes, of course.
00:06:18Yes.
00:06:19Okay.
00:06:19Okay.
00:06:23Please, sit.
00:06:30Right, um, let's get started.
00:06:34Hey, um, education background.
00:06:38Excuse me?
00:06:40And I'm going to need a full medical history,
00:06:42specifically genetic disorders.
00:06:45Do you work out?
00:06:46Do you have any idea who I am?
00:07:01I'm just trying to be thorough.
00:07:03It's about creating a healthy baby after all.
00:07:06I 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?
00:07:22Mr. Crafton, I can show her out.
00:07:24Thompson, leave us.
00:07:30What are you doing?
00:07:32Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:07:43Harvard Business School.
00:07:44MBA, top of class, no family history of genetic disorders.
00:07:50I work you out five times a week.
00:07:53As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:08:03Now Thompson is gone.
00:08:05Are you comfortable to share yours?
00:08:06Um, yes, of course.
00:08:10Um, you know.
00:08:12I'm perfectly healthy too.
00:08:14No genetic disorders.
00:08:16And, uh, 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?
00:08:32Well, I was thinking around $800.
00:08:39$800.
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.
00:08:55Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:09:02Uh, 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?
00:09:21Are you insane?
00:09:26That'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.
00:09:46I thought you were here to be my surrogate.
00:09:49Right.
00:09:49Um, well, I guess, I guess I've, um, made a mistake, so I'm just gonna go.
00:09:55Wait!
00:09:55A million dollars for carrying my child.
00:10:02I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford, not somebody else's.
00:10:09Uh, you might need that.
00:10:20Clean this up.
00:10:22Bring in the next.
00:10:30Hello?
00:10:30Miss Reed, your father, you need to come now.
00:10:34Okay, I'm coming here.
00:10:36Doctor, how is he?
00:10:54How is my father?
00:10:58The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:11:03Then, then do something.
00:11:05Save him.
00:11:07Is 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.
00:11:12But 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, a loan or something?
00:11:24Actually, this is a new technology.
00:11:27And there is no loan policy.
00:11:28Sorry.
00:11:28Sorry.
00:11:42This is the last batch.
00:12:10Yes, sir.
00:12:11The blonde want to know about ring sizes.
00:12:15And brunette asked about moving in.
00:12:19And the redhead...
00:12:20All of them want the Crawford name.
00:12:23No one's qualified.
00:12:27She was refreshing.
00:12:30No pretense.
00:12:31No schemes.
00:12:33But she wasn't even here for surrogacy.
00:12:37Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job.
00:12:39Hello.
00:12:53I'm the Reed.
00:12:54I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:12:55I've been thinking.
00:13:06I'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.
00:13:21I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:13:27What kind of modification?
00:13:29Joint custody.
00:13:30You wouldn't be just carrying the child.
00:13:32You'd be the baby's mother.
00:13:34Why would you agree to that?
00:13:35You're honest.
00:13:37Direct.
00:13:38No hidden agenda.
00:13:41Qualities 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.
00:13:51No romantic entanglements.
00:13:53No emotional expectations.
00:13:57Don't flutter yourself.
00:14:00God, rich man and there he goes.
00:14:01Father.
00:14:07The board is getting impatient.
00:14:10Have you considered the arrangements I suggested?
00:14:13I've already made my own plans.
00:14:15Adrian, if you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
00:14:22The Crawford name means something.
00:14:24I won't let it be tainted by...
00:14:27I've already chosen my fiancée.
00:14:29What?
00:14:30We'll discuss this at dinner.
00:14:31Did I just get promoted from surrogate to fiancée?
00:14:41Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just say, just parents, nothing more?
00:14:49The situation requires adaptation.
00:14:54Hmm.
00:14:54Is that CEO talk for I change my mind?
00:14:57We need a convincing story.
00:14:59You'll be staying at my house during the pregnancy.
00:15:01And after the baby comes?
00:15:03We'll arrange for an amicable separation, continue parenting, and I'll arrange for any additional compensation for the complexity.
00:15:11The original amount is fine, but I am going to need it soon.
00:15:17Welcome to the family, Ms. Reed.
00:15:18Welcome to the family, Ms. Reed.

00:20:21Sorry, didn't see you there.
00:20:41You're always in the way.
00:20:45Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancé, Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:51Catherine, please. We're family now. Supposedly.
00:20:56Helen, tea, please.
00:20:58Yes, Mrs. Crawford?
00:21:02So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:21:07Through mutual friends.
00:21:11Oh, really? Mutual friends.
00:21:14Hmm.
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?
00:21:28Well, 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.
00:21:47Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancé, your presence is required.
00:21:52I'd be honoured.
00:21:56Hmm. Perfect.
00:21:58I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:22:04You can go now.
00:22:05Excuse me, Miss Rie.
00:22:18I need to clean.
00:22:20Of course. Let me just...
00:22:21Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:22:28How creative.
00:22:32Must be hot in your family.
00:22:34Watching you chase after each man.
00:22:37Let me help you with this.
00:22:39My friends!
00:22:41How clumsy of me.
00:22:43You did that on purpose.
00:22:45Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:22:48You're just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:55Mr. Crawford, she just attacked me.
00:22:58I was trying to help with the...
00:23:02Get out!
00:23:02But I was just...
00:23:04One more word and you're fired.
00:23:07Get out.
00:23:15What happened?
00:23:16Nothing.
00:23:18I need some space.
00:23:19I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:23:21Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:23:22I need some space.
00:23:26You take the bed.
00:23:27I'll take the sofa.
00:23:28I miss you so much, Daddy.
00:23:32Don't worry about me, okay?
00:23:34As long as we can get you better,
00:23:37I won't let their words get to me.
00:23:38I promise.
00:23:40Lila, what happened?
00:23:42What should I do?
00:23:43How's the happy couple?
00:23:58How's the happy couple?
00:23:58Oh, that's awkward.
00:24:04Oh, that's awkward.
00:24:08Just a small break.
00:24:13Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:24:15It's okay.
00:24:16I'm here.
00:24:18You're safe.
00:24:21Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:23I'm here.
00:24:35I'm here.
00:24:35Oh, my God.
00:25:05Focus.
00:25:08This is just a simple procedure.
00:25:13Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:25:19Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:25:22Uh, yeah, I'm fine.
00:25:24I 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.
00:25:32I can come in if you need me to.
00:25:36Come in.
00:25:46So, you want to help?
00:25:49Of course. What do you need me to...
00:25:51Oh, you're...
00:25:57Oh, you're...
00:25:58I'm so sorry. I didn't... I didn't realize.
00:26:01I'm just... I'm just gonna... just go somewhere.
00:26:05I just need you somewhere very far.
00:26:07Well, that was helpful.
00:26:11Are you okay?
00:26:19Yeah.
00:26:20Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:26:24It's causing me pain.
00:26:25Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable.
00:26:27But I mean, it will... it will pass.
00:26:30Oh.
00:26:31Here.
00:26:31Oh, okay.
00:26:47Thanks.
00:26:52Well, 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.
00:27:03Purely professional care.
00:27:31Purely professional, huh?
00:27:42Adrienne.
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.
00:28:07Well, 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.
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?
00:28:31Worse.
00:28:33A wannabe writer.
00:28:34She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:28:41Well, 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.
00:28:49I apologize for the sight delay.
00:29:08My, my.
00:29:09Trying 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.
00:29:21And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breeding.
00:29:25Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:29:31Oh, darling.
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.
00:29:42I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable.
00:29:50Integrity.
00:29:52Integrity.
00:29:53Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:29:58How much, how much will it take you to disappear?
00:30:03Name your price.
00:30:04The difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford, is that I don't think that everything comes with a price tag.
00:30:15Excuse me.
00:30:24Stay calm.
00:30:28You can do this.
00:30:29Getting all dressed up for me, baby.
00:30:44What's the rush?
00:30:45We're all family here.
00:30:47Well, almost family.
00:30:50Don't touch me.
00:30:52You used to like it when I touched you.
00:30:54Remember how shy you were?
00:30:56Always saying no.
00:30:58Run off me, baby!
00:31:01Careful, now.
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?
00:31:19Everything all right, dear?
00:31:20You look flushed.
00:31:23So, as I was saying about the whistle.
00:31:26Stop it.
00:31:30Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:31:33You're right.
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 could never deserve a place in this family.
00:31:48I...
00:31:49I'm the one who sued her.
00:31:57Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:32:02Adrian.
00:32:03If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:32:06You want to know how we met?
00:32:07She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:32:10Papers flying, coffee spilled.
00:32:12Unlike some people, she didn't care about my name or my money.
00:32:17She, uh, refused me several times.
00:32:21Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:32:23But first woman who dared to stand out to me.
00:32:26And that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:32:28I'm the man.
00:32:32Sir, two things.
00:32:34Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner.
00:32:37And your jet is ready.
00:32:38You can go now.
00:32:43Cancel it, Lance.
00:32:45What's the merger?
00:32:48Yes, sir.
00:32:49Funny that last week family's dinners were
00:32:53the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:32:59Something is more important to business.
00:33:05Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:33:08Too bad it's either a complete lie
00:33:11or she's been playing us both.
00:33:15What are you talking about?
00:33:17We've been dating for three years.
00:33:20I have pictures of us together.
00:33:26What?
00:33:27She probably planned this from the start.
00:33:30Dating me to get close to the family
00:33:32then setting her sights higher.
00:33:35You manipulative little tree.
00:33:37Face it, Uncle.
00:33:38You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:43Face it, Uncle.
00:33:44You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:52That's for every lie you just told.
00:33:57Adrian!
00:33:58How dare you hit my son!
00:34:00Where do you think you're going?
00:34:01We are not finished here yet!
00:34:02Yes, we are!
00:34:09I'm sorry.
00:34:10I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:34:12Thank you for coming back
00:34:13and for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:34:21Your hands, what happened?
00:34:22As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:42I expect you to use them.
00:34:44I...
00:34:44I didn't want to presume.
00:34:46You're a Crawford now.
00:34:47Mr. Crawford, the embryos are ready.
00:35:02So we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:35:05I see.
00:35:09What is it?
00:35:10Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:12I've been thinking
00:35:13perhaps we should approach this matter
00:35:17in a more natural manner
00:35:20between a husband and a wife.
00:35:25What are your thoughts?
00:35:29I think that we should go to bed.
00:35:33We have a really big day tomorrow.
00:35:36So...
00:35:38I mean...
00:35:39Good night.
00:35:40Good night.
00:35:42You know, you look like a giant polar bear
00:35:47in that outfit.
00:35:50Focus on the procedure.
00:35:53Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:36:02There.
00:36:03See that white spot?
00:36:07That's our baby.
00:36:12You know, I can walk.
00:36:16Doctor's orders?
00:36:17You seem more nervous than I do.
00:36:23I'm merely following medical procedure.
00:36:25Look at her.
00:36:35Look at her.
00:36:37She's acting like a princess.
00:36:40She was probably a waitress last week.
00:36:44Now she's got Mr. Crawford
00:36:47wrapped around her finger.
00:36:49What?
00:36:59Huh?

00:48:46I apologize about last night.
00:48:48I was just worried about you.
00:48:52Worried about me or worried about the baby?
00:48:58What do you mean?
00:49:00Is this why you're being so nice to me?
00:49:03Making me breakfast, being all protective?
00:49:07It's just for the baby?
00:49:10Lila, you've been so strange since yesterday.
00:49:13Why?
00:49:15Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:49:22Yes.
00:49:23And then she got with Ethan?
00:49:34Yes.
00:49:36Okay, so I'm just...
00:49:38Vivian and I were...
00:49:40Sir, the Singapore version is falling apart.
00:49:47We need to immediately.
00:49:48I'm in the middle of something.
00:49:50The board is threatening to pull out.
00:49:53I'll be there.
00:49:54We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back.
00:50:03Of course.
00:50:04Business first.
00:50:10Lila.
00:50:11Just go.
00:50:12Sir, there have been complications.
00:50:26Explain.
00:50:27During her absence,
00:50:28Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members.
00:50:31Suggesting her sudden marriage plans
00:50:33indicate obstacle decision-making.
00:50:37Several executives are questioning
00:50:39if someone so personally distracted
00:50:42should and hurt the company.
00:50:44Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing
00:51:04my personal life.
00:51:05Your sudden access has let me be very clear.
00:51:10This company took a 40% profit loss
00:51:17before I took over.
00:51:19Within three years,
00:51:20I tripled our market share.
00:51:22Every major merger,
00:51:23every successful acquisition,
00:51:25every stock surge,
00:51:27my execution,
00:51:28my strategies.
00:51:30So yes,
00:51:31I am getting married.
00:51:33And yes,
00:51:34I took some time off.
00:51:35And no,
00:51:37not a single person in this room
00:51:39has the right to question
00:51:40my commitment
00:51:41or my capability.
00:51:44Because without me,
00:51:45there wouldn't be a company
00:51:47left to inherit.
00:51:49Now,
00:51:51shall we discuss the merger?
00:52:09Adrian,
00:52:23what the hell were you thinking?
00:52:27Adrian,
00:52:28what the hell were you thinking?
00:52:31Adrian,
00:52:33what the hell were you thinking?
00:52:35What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:52:40I was doing my job.
00:52:43Your job is to follow the family strategy.
00:52:47Ever since she came into your life,
00:52:50you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:52:53You leave Lila out of this.
00:52:55You know,
00:52:56I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:52:59Yeah,
00:52:59run along.
00:53:01Adults are talking business now.
00:53:02We just need to bore him for a moment, dear.
00:53:06Business matters.
00:53:07You wouldn't understand.
00:53:15That girl
00:53:16is a poison
00:53:17to the Crawford name.
00:53:24She's nothing but a broodmare.
00:53:27After she delivers,
00:53:29pay her off
00:53:30and be done with it.
00:53:32Adrian needs someone
00:53:33who understands this world.
00:53:35Someone like me.
00:53:38Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:53:42Non-negotiable.
00:53:44She will follow you every day,
00:53:45just like before.
00:53:47And your little pet project
00:53:48can't stay home
00:53:50and just stay.
00:53:51That's all she's good for.
00:53:55Get up!
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
00:54:02to the ground
00:54:03before either of you
00:54:04get to touch it.
00:54:05Adrian,
00:54:06be reasonable.
00:54:08She is worth a thousand to you.
00:54:10Tomorrow,
00:54:129 a.m.
00:54:13Vivian starts.
00:54:15No discussion.
00:54:17Is that all?
00:54:19Yes,
00:54:19for now.
00:54:21But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:22You.
00:54:45Wow.
00:54:45Stop 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 gonna be that girl. I can
00:55:21make my own meals. I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional
00:55:27spreadsheets. Improved marrow. Way to get back at Ethan.
00:55:40Philo! I'm fine! You're not fine. Hospital, now! I'm fine!
00:55:57Thanks. I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciated you today.
00:56:08You 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?
00:56:21Lila, he's just using you. You're his revenge against me. A tool. And you deserve better
00:56:31than that. Adrian, stop! What are you doing?
00:56:37Protecting you. From what? He's helping. He brought me here. My hand was bleeding.
00:56:42So now you're defending him? No, I'm defending the truth. Sometimes, I guess people surprise
00:56:48you. I see. Adrian. I'll call the doctor to come.
00:56:59I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OBGYN down immediately.
00:57:03Sir, it's just the one to come. I want a full prenatal checkup. I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson.
00:57:09He's gonna be down here in ten minutes. Always so controlled, aren't you uncle?
00:57:15Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy. Remember our beach dates? How you said
00:57:26I was the most fun you ever had? Thompson, bring in the catering. The Michelin star one.
00:57:35Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef. Oh, well done. No sauce.
00:57:40I don't think that I did say. How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:57:46Pride and Prejudice. BBC adaptation, 1995. She likes to watch it when she's still stressed.
00:57:52Which is why I upgraded our home theater system. To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:57:59You did what? Wow. Using money to get to her heart. Huh, uncle.
00:58:07The Alzheimer's wings fully renovated. Named after Lila's grandmother, as she mentioned.
00:58:17Oh, it's a fully funded. Anonymous donor. Hmm.
00:58:26He may be able to offer you money, but you're gonna miss this.
00:58:30Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:58:46Just my mom.
00:58:49I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins. They should arrive shortly.
00:58:52They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:58:55Wow. He remembered all that about me.
00:58:58I remember everything about you.
00:59:04Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:59:10Guys, she's tired. We should leave. Let her rest.
00:59:12Is this just another competition, Ethan? Or does he actually care?
00:59:27Yes, father?
00:59:44Vivian's been hospitalized. Overworked, they say. From cleaning up your company's mess.
00:59:51I have meetings. Cancel them. Go to visit her right now.
00:59:57Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you,
01:00:00or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
01:00:04Board meeting!
01:00:21You came.
01:00:25Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
01:00:27I'm still 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.
01:00:37We were really great together, Adrian.
01:00:40We could be together again.
01:00:42I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
01:00:45What we had, I never took it as seriously as you pretended to.
01:00:49You pretended to.
01:00:51But Lila, she's different.
01:00:53She's real.
01:00:55A pregnant gold digger is real?
01:00:58Please.
01:01:05I guess some things never change.
01:01:11Watch your words.
01:01:14Stay away from my wife.
01:01:19A little girl.
01:01:23Daddy.
01:01:25Your hand.
01:01:27It's nothing.
01:01:29I need to tell you something.
01:01:32I'm gonna be a mother.
01:01:34Is it that Ethan Boyce?
01:01:36No, no.
01:01:38Then who?
01:01:40It doesn't matter.
01:01:42But what does matter is that this is my baby.
01:01:45And I'm gonna love them so much.
01:01:48With all the love that you gave me.
01:01:51Baby.
01:01:53I'm so sorry.
01:01:55I'm sorry I couldn't, couldn't give you better.
01:01:59Daddy.
01:02:00If only I were healthy, if I could work.
01:02:02Daddy, don't.
01:02:03The hospital bills.
01:02:04Where are you getting money from?
01:02:06Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:02:07No, no, it's not like that.
01:02:09Did someone take advantage of you?
01:02:11My little girl pregnant all alone?
01:02:13She's not alone.
01:02:15Hi, Mr. Reid.
01:02:16I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:02:17I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:02:18I'm the father of her child.
01:02:20Higiana?
01:02:21I'm not just the father.
01:02:23I'm the man who's gonna spend the rest of his life
01:02:24making sure your daughter and our child get everything they deserve.
01:02:26Pretty words.
01:02:28No.
01:02:29No, no.
01:02:30No.
01:02:31No.
01:02:32No.
01:02:33No, no.
01:02:34No.
01:02:35No.
01:02:36No.
01:02:37No.
01:02:38No.
01:02:39No.
01:02:40No.
01:02:42No.
01:02:43No.

01:18:28miss reed is not adrian's loving bride to be she's just a surrogate paid to carry the crawford air
01:18:37I have proof too. Medical records from Crawford Medical Center showing that Ms. Reed underwent fertility treatment, for which she was generously compensated.
01:18:52Paid surrogacy. How come?
01:18:56Alright, fine. You want the truth? Yes, it started with a surrogacy.
01:19:02But Lila, she's the woman I chose to be the mother of my child.
01:19:07And I won't let anyone here slander her.
01:19:10You want this arrangement? Fine.
01:19:14But then, it costs you everything.
01:19:19Resign from the company, give up your inheritance.
01:19:24The child can see in the family, of course.
01:19:26But the mother, well, her services won't be required after delivery.
01:19:37Yes, I did the IVF treatment.
01:19:41But I never, never saw this baby as a business transaction.
01:19:49You know what? You can say whatever you want about me.
01:19:52But don't you dare question my love for this child.
01:19:58Don't you dare.
01:19:59Don't you dare.
01:20:06Don't you dare.
01:20:08I'm willing to give up everything.
01:20:14The company, the inheritance, all of it.
01:20:17But I won't give up her.
01:20:20She's my wife.
01:20:21The only one that I will ever want.
01:20:25We're getting married.
01:20:27Properly.
01:20:28Publicly.
01:20:31Fine.
01:20:31You want to throw away everything for this, for this woman.
01:20:38Then, you will get nothing from this family.
01:20:41Nothing!
01:20:43Sign it.
01:20:44Renounce your inheritance.
01:20:46All of it.
01:20:50No, no, no, no, no.
01:20:51Adrian, stop.
01:20:52Not worth losing everything for.
01:20:54You're worth everything.
01:20:56The company, the assets, I built them once.
01:21:02I can build them again.
01:21:04But you.
01:21:06You and our child.

01:22:19Hello?
01:22:21Hello?
01:22:21The Singapore merger just collapsed.
01:22:23They say they'll only work with Adrian.
01:22:25This is all your fault!
01:22:27You and your billion plan to get rid of them.
01:22:29My fault?

01:23:17Have you seen the comments?
01:23:35They're calling us heartless villains!
01:23:38Can't believe they're trying to suffer a lot of business.
01:23:42Crawford Industries lost my business.
01:23:45Team Adrian, all the way.
