Surrogate For My Ex's Billionaire Uncle
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. Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:00:20But they don't see the real Ethan. I know he loves me.
00:00:30Oh my god! Three years I've wasted on you!
00:00:37I'm not gonna let you take this from me too.
00:00:39I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:00:42One appointment, one sperm donor, I can have a baby of my own.
00:00:49Understand this clearly. We'll be parents, nothing more.
00:00:53Surrogacy. Five generations of Crawford dignity destroyed by tabloid gossip.
00:01:06Adrian, I can make all of this disappear.
00:01:10Perfect couple, right? Until...
00:01:13Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun.
00:01:14All you have to do is remember who you really belong.
00:01:17That's for every lie you just told.
00:01:21Your fault! You have to build a plan to get rid of him.
00:01:26Get up!
00:01:35Three years. Three years I've loved him.
00:01:39Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:01:41That a man like him only loves himself.
00:01:43But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:01:48I know he loves me.
00:01:51Thank you so much.
00:01:53I really, really appreciate it.
00:01:56Tonight, it will be our big night.
00:01:58And I'll give him all of me.
00:02:01We'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:02:03A family of our own.
00:02:05I'm so sorry.
00:02:19I'm so sorry.
00:02:19I'm so sorry.
00:02:49I'm so sorry.
00:03:18Oh, my God!
00:03:36Voila!
00:03:37You're early.
00:03:39Why so shocked, babe?
00:03:41You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:03:44Hmm?
00:03:44Come and join us.
00:03:53Three years.
00:03:54Three years!
00:03:55I wasted on you!
00:03:58God, I'm such an idiot!
00:04:01I was thinking I was gonna have a baby with you!
00:04:04Oh, baby?
00:04:07Sweetheart.
00:04:08You wouldn't even put out after three years,
00:04:10and now you're thinking about playing mommy?
00:04:12Though...
00:04:14If you're finally ready to spread those legs...
00:04:17These lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:04:22Screw you!
00:04:24You!
00:04:36I'm not gonna 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?
00:04:47I don't need a man.
00:04:50One appointment?
00:04:52One sperm donor?
00:04:53I can have a baby of my own.
00:05:03Six months to produce an heir,
00:05:05or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:05:09Everything I've built over the last decade...
00:05:11Gone.
00:05:12The surrogate candidates are all thoroughbreds, sir.
00:05:16Ivy League are educated.
00:05:18Impeccable health histories.
00:05:19I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:05:21I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:05:24Find me someone who knows your place,
00:05:26and will disappear after delivery.
00:05:34Ah!
00:05:34Ah!

00:06:04Ah! Ah!
00:06:05Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:06:15The interview?
00:06:17Yes, of course.
00:06:28Please, sit.
00:06:34Right.
00:06:35Um, let's get started.
00:06:39Hey, um, education background.
00:06:43Excuse me?
00:06:44And I'm gonna need a full medical history, specifically genetic disorders.
00:06:50Do you work out?
00:06:52I mean, you look acceptable.
00:07:02Do you have any idea who I am?
00:07:04I'm just trying to be thorough.
00:07:08It's about creating a healthy baby, after all.
00:07:12Why are attractive men so full of themselves?
00:07:15I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:07:20I need to know your reproductive history.
00:07:22So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:07:27Mr. Crofton, I can show how it.
00:07:30Thompson, leave us.
00:07:32What are you doing?
00:07:36What are you doing?
00:07:37Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:07:40Harvard Business School, MBA, top of class.
00:07:52No family history of genetic disorders.
00:07:53I work you out five times a week.
00:07:56As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:08:05Now Thompson is gone.
00:08:09Are you comfortable to share yours?
00:08:11Um, yes.
00:08:12Of course.
00:08:14Um, I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:08:18No genetic disorders.
00:08:20And, uh, I get regular checkups.
00:08:22Um, I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:08:28You really do seem like the perfect match.
00:08:32Good.
00:08:33Now, regarding compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
00:08:38Well, I was thinking around $800.
00:08:43Eight hundred.
00:08:45I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:08:49I 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.
00:09:00Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:09:10All of this?
00:09:11Seriously?
00:09:12Take your time to review, but the key point is after birth, the child stays with me.
00:09:19No contact.
00:09:22You want to keep my baby?
00:09:24Are you insane?
00:09:31That's standard procedure for surrogacy arrangements.
00:09:34Surrogacy?
00:09:35Surrogacy.
00:09:36The position you're interviewing for.
00:09:38Interview?
00:09:40I'm hated by sperm.
00:09:42You came to what?
00:09:44Uh, I thought you were a donor.
00:09:45That's why I was asking you all the questions about the history and stuff.
00:09:50I thought you were here to be my surrogate.
00:09:53Right.
00:09:54Um, well, I guess, I guess I've, um, made a mistake, so I'm just gonna go.
00:09:59Wait.
00:10:00A million dollars for carrying my child.
00:10:08I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford, not somebody else's.
00:10:14Ah, you might need that.
00:10:17Clean this up.
00:10:26Bring in the next.
00:10:34Hello?
00:10:35Miss Reed, your father.
00:10:37You need to come now.
00:10:39Okay, I'm coming.
00:10:40Doctor, how is he?
00:11:02How is my father?
00:11:04The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:11:07Uh, then, then do something.
00:11:09Save him.
00:11:11Is there, is there a treatment you can do?
00:11:13Uh, there is a new treatment.
00:11:15Okay, then, then let's do it.
00:11:17But maybe it's, uh, quite expensive.
00:11:19How much?
00:11:20Around one million dollars.
00:11:22A million dollars?
00:11:24Yes.
00:11:26Can I get a, a loan or something?
00:11:29Actually, this is a new technology.
00:11:31And there is no loan policy.
00:11:32Sorry.
00:11:33Oh, my God.

00:21:02Yes, Mrs. Crawford.
00:21:04So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:21:10Through mutual friends.
00:21:13Oh, really?
00:21:15Mutual friends.
00:21:17Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:21:25Unless this is more of a business arrangement?
00:21:29I'm sorry.
00:21:30I'm sorry?
00:21:31Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved.
00:21:38The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:21:44I'm sorry.
00:21:46I'm sorry.
00:21:47I'm sorry.
00:21:48I'm sorry.
00:21:49I'm sorry.
00:21:50I'm sorry.
00:21:51Next weekend is our family dinner.
00:21:53And as Adrian's fiance, your presence is required.
00:21:57I'll be honored.
00:21:58I'll be honored.
00:21:59Hmm.
00:22:00Perfect.
00:22:01I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:22:08You can go now.
00:22:09Excuse me, Miss Rie.
00:22:22I need to clean.
00:22:23Of course.
00:22:24Let me just...
00:22:25Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:22:32How creative.
00:22:36Must be hard on your family.
00:22:38Watching you chase after rich men.
00:22:41Let me help you with this.
00:22:43My dress!
00:22:45How clumsy of me.
00:22:47You did that on purpose.
00:22:49Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:22:51You're just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:59Mr. Crawford, she just attacked me.
00:23:02I was trying to help with the...
00:23:05Get out.
00:23:06But I was just...
00:23:07One more word and you're fired.
00:23:11Get out.
00:23:19What happened?
00:23:20Nothing.
00:23:21I need some space.
00:23:22I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:23:24Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:23:26I need some space.
00:23:30You take the bed.
00:23:30I'll take the sofa.
00:23:34I miss you so much, daddy.
00:23:36Don't worry about me, okay?
00:23:38As long as we can get you better,
00:23:40I won't let their words get to me.
00:23:42I promise.
00:23:44Lila, what happened?
00:23:46What should I do?
00:23:47How's the happy couple?
00:24:01Oh, that's awkward.
00:24:12Just a small thing.
00:24:17Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:24:19It's okay.
00:24:20I'm here.
00:24:22You're safe.
00:24:25Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:31Zip Anal.
00:24:50Uh...
00:24:55Focus. This is just a simple metaphor procedure.
00:25:16Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:25:19Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:25:26Yeah, I'm fine. I just need some assistance.
00:25:31Oh, do you need my help?
00:25:33No, I didn't mean...
00:25:35Are you sure? Honestly, it's fine. I can come in if you need me to.
00:25:40Come in.
00:25:49So, you want to help?
00:25:52Of course. What do you need me to...
00:25:59Oh, you're... Oh, you're...
00:26:02I'm so sorry. I didn't realize. I'm just gonna go somewhere. I just need you. Somewhere very far.
00:26:14Well, that was helpful.
00:26:19Are you okay?
00:26:22Yeah. Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shocks would hurt, but it's...
00:26:27It's causing you pain.
00:26:28Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable. But I mean, it will pass.
00:26:34Oh. Here.
00:26:37Oh, okay.
00:26:38Okay.
00:26:51Thanks.
00:26:56Well, the hormone shocks were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically a work-related issue.
00:27:01And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:27:06Okay.
00:27:07Okay.
00:27:08Okay.
00:27:10Okay.
00:27:11Purely professional care.
00:27:41Purely professional, huh?
00:27:54Adrian.
00:27:58Um, about this weekend...
00:27:59I'm sorry, there's an emergency in Atlanta.
00:28:01The merge is falling apart.
00:28:04Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:28:07Your family invited me to dinner.
00:28:08I guess I'll handle it on my own.
00:28:15Well, I don't suppose we should expect punctuality from a person who's probably never had a proper watch in her life.
00:28:22I introduce him to the Lawson Harris, the senator's daughter.
00:28:27I don't understand why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:28:32What did you say she did, Ethan? Retail?
00:28:35Worse. A wannabe writer.
00:28:38She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:28:45Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:28:48I had the chef prepare her place, setting, and everything.
00:28:51She probably couldn't figure out which work to do.
00:28:53I apologize for the sight delay.
00:29:11My, my.
00:29:12Trying so hard to look the part.
00:29:16James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner.
00:29:21I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:29:24And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breeding.
00:29:29Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:29:31Oh, darling.
00:29:36A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:29:40How quaint.
00:29:43At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian's socks.
00:29:46I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable.
00:29:54Integrity.
00:29:55Integrity.
00:29:57Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:30:00How much, how much will it take you to disappear in your price?
00:30:11The difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford, is that I don't think that everything comes with a price tag.
00:30:19Excuse me.
00:30:27Stay calm.
00:30:30You can do this.
00:30:37Getting all dressed up for me, baby.
00:30:48What's the rush?
00:30:49We're all family here.
00:30:51Well, almost family.
00:30:54Don't touch me.
00:30:55You used to like it when I touched you.
00:30:58Remember how shy you were?
00:31:00Always saying no.
00:31:02Runs off me, bastard!
00:31:04Careful, pal.
00:31:05One scream from you, and everyone at dinner is going to know what kind of girl you really are.
00:31:12Now, where were we?
00:31:15Everything all right, dear?
00:31:24You look flushed.
00:31:26So, as I was saying about...
00:31:29Stop it!
00:31:34Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:31:36Stop it!
00:31:36Enough!
00:31:37No class?
00:31:38No manners?
00:31:39I don't know how you seduced my son, but someone like you could never deserve a place in this family!
00:31:51Stop it!
00:31:52I...
00:31:52I...
00:31:53I'm the one who sued her.
00:32:00Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:32:05Adrian.
00:32:06If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:32:09You want to know how we met?
00:32:10She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:32:14Papers flying, coffee spilled.
00:32:16Unlike some people, she didn't care about my name or my money.
00:32:21She, uh, refused me several times.
00:32:24Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:32:27First woman who dared to stand out to me, and that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:32:31Sir, two things.
00:32:36Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner, and your jet is ready.
00:32:41You can go now.
00:32:47Cancel it, Lance.
00:32:48What's the merger?
00:32:51Yes, sir.
00:32:53It's funny, but last week's family's dinners were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:33:02Something's more important than business.
00:33:09Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:33:12Too bad it's either a complete lie, or she's been playing us both.
00:33:19What are you talking about?
00:33:21We've been dating for three years.
00:33:24I have pictures of us together.
00:33:26What?
00:33:31She probably planned this from the start.
00:33:34Dating me to get close to the family, then setting her sights higher.
00:33:38You manipulative little trick.
00:33:40Face it, Uncle.
00:33:42You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:44That's for every lie you just told.
00:33:45Adrian!
00:33:46How dare you hit my son!
00:33:47Where do you think you're going?
00:33:48We are not finished here yet!
00:33:49Yes, we are.
00:33:50I'm sorry.
00:33:51I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:33:52Thank you for coming back.
00:33:53And for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:33:55Mm-hm.
00:33:56Your hands, what happened?
00:33:57I'm sorry.
00:33:58I'm sorry.
00:33:59I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:34:00Thank you for coming back.
00:34:01And for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:34:02Your hands, what happened?
00:34:03Oh!
00:34:04Where do you think you're going? We are not finished here yet.
00:34:06Yes, we are.
00:34:12I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:34:15Thank you for coming back and for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:34:25Your hands, what happened?
00:34:26As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts. I expect you to use them.
00:34:47I didn't want to presume.
00:34:49You're a Crawford now.
00:34:56Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.
00:35:01Dr. Anderson?
00:35:03Mr. Crawford, the embryos are ready, so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:35:09I see. Thank you.
00:35:12What is it? Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:15I've been thinking.
00:35:18Perhaps we should approach this matter in a more natural manner.
00:35:24between a husband and wife.
00:35:29What are your thoughts?
00:35:33I think that we should go to bed.
00:35:36We have a really big day tomorrow.
00:35:39So, I mean, goodnight.
00:35:48You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit.
00:35:51Focus on the procedure.
00:35:57Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:36:05There.
00:36:07See that white spot?
00:36:10That's her baby.
00:36:17You know, I can walk.
00:36:19Doctor's orders?
00:36:20You seem more nervous than I do.
00:36:27I'm merely following medical procedure.
00:36:38Look at her.
00:36:40She's acting like a princess.
00:36:42She was probably a waitress last week.
00:36:48Now she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:36:53Oh.
00:36:53Oh.
00:36:56Oh.
00:36:59Oh.
00:37:05Oh.
00:37:05Oh.
00:37:05Oh.
00:37:06Adrian!
00:37:10Hmm, not quite.
00:37:14Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:37:18The Gorky!
00:37:20Come on!
00:37:22You used to love being in my arms.
00:37:26I'm not quite.
00:37:28Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:37:30The Gorky!
00:37:32Come on!
00:37:34I love being in my arms.
00:37:36Remember how we would spend hours at the cafe?
00:37:38You would lean into me while reading your favorite book?
00:37:42Did she?
00:37:46Adrian! I was just getting food, I swear.
00:37:52Get out!
00:37:58Stomach.
00:38:00My stomach, I think that there's something wrong.
00:38:02If anything, anything happens to my fiancé or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:38:10And you.
00:38:12What you want, you'll never have.
00:38:16Never.
00:38:18Child.
00:38:22Three years, she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:38:26And a few weeks, with my uncle, and she's carrying his child.
00:38:30You want the perfect family?
00:38:32Well...
00:38:34It's not gonna happen.
00:38:36Happy.
00:38:46Thompson, clear my schedule.
00:38:48Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:50Sir, what happened?
00:38:52Do you need my help?
00:38:54You can't help on this one.
00:38:56Just do what I say.
00:38:58You and Ethan, you've never really gotten along, have you?
00:39:02Why is that?
00:39:12You seem very concerned about him.
00:39:14I... I just...
00:39:16Just get some rest.
00:39:18It's been a rough day for you.
00:39:20Adrian, why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:39:22No reason.
00:39:24I just know you're not like that.
00:39:26Thanks.
00:39:28Get some rest.
00:39:30Do whatever makes you comfortable.
00:39:32Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:39:34Anything I want?
00:39:36Are you sure about that?
00:39:38What the...
00:39:52What are you doing?
00:40:06This isn't nutritious.
00:40:08The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:10The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:12Yeah.
00:40:14And chips and ice cream.
00:40:16You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you?
00:40:20I've been researching optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:40:24See, week by week guidelines.
00:40:26Okay, okay, okay.
00:40:28How about a compromise?
00:40:30One treat per day.
00:40:32Half a treat.
00:40:34Three quarters.
00:40:58Congratulations. The fetus is developing perfectly.
00:41:02Really?
00:41:04Everything looks wonderful.
00:41:06Now that we're in the stable period,
00:41:08I would recommend you starting some prenatal exercise.
00:41:12What kind of exercise?
00:41:16Now, hold her from behind in the maternal pose.
00:41:20Maybe we should skip this part.
00:41:22Good drink.
00:41:24Let's do it properly.
00:41:26Guide her arms up.
00:41:28This is a little intimate.
00:41:30And now, the supporting stretch.
00:41:42Oh, Adrian.
00:41:44Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:41:48Maybe we should continue this at home.
00:41:50Yeah, please.
00:41:52Please.
00:41:54Oh, Adrian.
00:41:58Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:42:02Maybe we should continue this at home.
00:42:04Yeah, please.
00:42:06Please.
00:42:24The Charity Gala isn't a test.
00:42:26Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:42:32The Charity Gala.
00:42:50You look perfect.
00:42:52Just be yourself.
00:42:59Then this, this is not me.
00:43:22Adrien, it's been too long.
00:43:31You look exactly the same.
00:43:43And you must be the fiance.
00:43:46I'm so pleased Adrien has found someone after all these years.
00:43:51That's really kind, but I'm sorry.
00:43:53Who are you?
00:43:56I'm just someone who cares about Adrien's happiness.
00:43:59More than anyone else.
00:44:07Oh my god!
00:44:09You two are finally back together.
00:44:13Everyone, look who's here.
00:44:14The golden couple.
00:44:15I heard Adrien Colford was engaged.
00:44:20I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:44:22When is the wedding?
00:44:26Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiance, Lala Reed.
00:44:32We're expecting our first child, and of course, you're all welcome to the wedding.
00:44:42She's pregnant?
00:44:44Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:44:46I just assumed congratulations for you both.
00:44:50Adrien Colford and a complete unknown.
00:44:56How did you manage that?
00:44:58Adrien chose her over Vivian.
00:44:59Is he crazy?
00:45:02Oh, Benji, how have you been?
00:45:04Great.
00:45:05Let's go.
00:45:12They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:45:14Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:45:23Gentlemen!
00:45:24What are y'all talking about?
00:45:31They do look like the perfect couple.
00:45:44Drinking?
00:45:47I thought you were pregnant.
00:45:49None of your business.
00:45:54You know how Adrien is.
00:45:56Always has to win.
00:45:58Especially against me.
00:46:00He hates when I take things from him.
00:46:02What are you talking about?
00:46:11Perfect couple, right?
00:46:12Until...
00:46:14Dun-dun-dun...
00:46:17Vivian fell madly in love with me, leaving dear Uncle heartbroken.
00:46:24Since then, whatever I want, he has to take.
00:46:29Whatever I have, he has to win.
00:46:33Like you.
00:46:33What you want, you'll never have.
00:46:39Never.
00:46:40You and Ethan, you've never really gone along, have you?
00:46:46You don't get it.
00:46:47Stop being naive.
00:46:49You're just his tool for revenge.
00:46:51I'm just his tool for revenge?
00:47:02What do you think you're doing?
00:47:17You are pregnant.
00:47:18Why are you drinking?
00:47:20Oh, now you care.
00:47:24It's soda.
00:47:25I know what I'm doing.
00:47:27What happened back there?
00:47:42Lila, talk to me.
00:47:45Lila, I am worried.
00:47:48So you talk to Ethan, but not me.
00:47:52Oh, you do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:48:10Lila, open the door.
00:48:11Please.
00:48:15Please.
00:48:15We walked that season ago
00:48:36I'd walk it
00:48:45The act is still warm
00:48:49I apologize about last night I was just worried about you
00:48:54Worried about me or worried about the baby?
00:49:00What do you mean?
00:49:02Is this why you're being so nice to me?
00:49:05Making me breakfast, being all protective
00:49:09It's just for the baby?
00:49:12Leila, you've been so strange since yesterday, why?
00:49:18Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:49:25Yes
00:49:32And then she got with Ethan?
00:49:36Yes
00:49:38Okay, so I'm just-
00:49:40Vivian and I were-
00:49:47Sir, the Singapore Marjorie has flown apart
00:49:49We need to immediately
00:49:51I'm in the middle of summer
00:49:52The board is threatening to pull out
00:49:55I'll be there
00:49:57We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back
00:50:06Of course
00:50:07Business first
00:50:13Leila
00:50:14Just go
00:50:15Sir, there have been complications
00:50:28Explain
00:50:29During your absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members
00:50:33Suggesting your sudden marriage plans indicate obstacle decision-making
00:50:38Several executors are questioning if someone so personally distracted should enter the company
00:50:47Mr. Crawford
00:51:05Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing
00:51:06My personal life
00:51:07Your sudden access has let me be very clear
00:51:12This company took a 40% profit loss before I took over
00:51:21Within three years, I tripled our market share
00:51:24Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge
00:51:29My execution, my strategies
00:51:32So yes, I am getting married
00:51:35And yes, I took some time off
00:51:37And no
00:51:38Not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability
00:51:45Because without me, there wouldn't be a company left to inherit
00:51:50Now
00:51:52Shall we discuss the merger?
00:51:57Next
00:52:25Adrian, what the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:52:44I was doing my job.
00:52:45Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:52:50Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:52:55You leave Lila out of this.
00:52:58You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:53:01Yeah, run along. Adults are talking business now.
00:53:05We just need to bore him for a moment, dear. Business matters.
00:53:09You wouldn't understand.
00:53:17That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:53:26She's nothing but a broodmare.
00:53:30After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:53:35Adrian needs someone who understands this world. Someone like me.
00:53:39Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:53:45Non-negotiable.
00:53:47She will follow you every day, just like before.
00:53:50And your little pet project can't stay home and just state that's all she's good for.
00:53:55Get out! Both of you!
00:54:00How dare you!
00:54:01If you dare mention my wife's name again.
00:54:04I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before either of you get to touch it.
00:54:08Adrian, be reasonable!
00:54:10She is worth a thousand of you.
00:54:13Tomorrow.
00:54:159am.
00:54:16Vivian starts.
00:54:18No discussion.
00:54:20Is that all?
00:54:22Yes, for now.
00:54:24But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:40No.
00:54:41No.
00:54:42No.
00:54:43No.
00:55:01Stop it.
00:55:02Stop checking.
00:55:05This is ridiculous.
00:55:07I was independent before.
00:55:10I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep.
00:55:17No!
00:55:18I'm not gonna be that girl.
00:55:23I can make my own meals.
00:55:26I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:55:31Improved marrow.
00:55:39Way to get back at Ethan.
00:55:44Lilo!
00:55:46I'm fine!
00:55:48You're not fine. Hospital! Now!
00:55:50I'm fine!
00:56:01Thanks.
00:56:02I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciated you today.
00:56:12You know...
00:56:14You used to look at me like that.
00:56:17All sweet.
00:56:18Sincere.
00:56:19Don't.
00:56:21Why not?
00:56:23Is there really no chance for us?
00:56:24Ethan!
00:56:27Lilo, he's just using you.
00:56:30You're his revenge against me.
00:56:32A tool.
00:56:34And you deserve better than that.
00:56:37Adrian, stop!
00:56:39What are you doing?
00:56:41I'm protecting you.
00:56:42From what? He's helping. He brought me here. My hand was bleeding.
00:56:46So now you're defending him?
00:56:47No, I'm defending the truth.
00:56:49Sometimes...
00:56:51I guess people surprise you.
00:56:53I see.
00:56:56Adrian...
00:56:58I'll call the doctor to come.
00:57:03I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OBGYN down immediately.
00:57:08Sir, it's just the minor car.
00:57:10I want a full prenatal check-up.
00:57:12I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson. He's gonna be down here in 10 minutes.
00:57:15Always so controlled.
00:57:18Aren't you, Uncle?
00:57:20Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:57:25Remember our beach dates?
00:57:29How you said,
00:57:31I was the most fun you ever had?
00:57:36Thompson, bring in the catering.
00:57:38The Michelin star one.
00:57:40Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:57:43Oh, well done.
00:57:44No sauce.
00:57:46I don't think that I did say...
00:57:47How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:57:51Pride and Prejudice.
00:57:52BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:57:54She likes to watch it when she's feeling stressed.
00:57:57Which is why I upgraded our home theater system.
00:58:00To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:58:03You did what?
00:58:04Wow!
00:58:08Using money to get to her heart.
00:58:10Huh, Uncle.
00:58:15Oh, the Alzheimer's ring is fully renovated.
00:58:18Named after Lila's grandmother, as she mentioned.
00:58:21Oh, it's fully funded.
00:58:24Anonymous donor.
00:58:26Hmm.
00:58:30He may be able to offer you money,
00:58:33but you're gonna miss this.
00:58:34Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:58:50Just my mind.
00:58:53I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins.
00:58:55They should arrive shortly.
00:58:57They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:59:00Wow.
00:59:01He remembered all that about me.
00:59:02I remember everything about you.
00:59:09Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:59:14Guys, she's tired.
00:59:15We should leave.
00:59:16Let her rest.
00:59:20Hospitalized.
00:59:22Overwork, they say.
00:59:24Have meetings.
00:59:25Cancel them!
00:59:26Go to visit...
00:59:28Still so cold.
00:59:30Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was on one?
00:59:33We could be together again.
00:59:35I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
00:59:38What we have pretended to.
00:59:40But Lila, she's different.
00:59:43She's real.
00:59:45A pregnant gold digger is real?
00:59:47No.
00:59:48Please.
00:59:53I guess some things never change.
00:59:58All the love that you gave me.
01:00:01I'm so sorry.
01:00:03I'm sorry I couldn't give you better.
01:00:06Daddy.
01:00:07If only I were healthy.
01:00:08If I could work.
01:00:09Daddy, don't.
01:00:12But the pregnant all alone.
01:00:15She's not alone.
01:00:21Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
01:00:25That was a long time ago.
01:00:28We were really great together, Adrian.
01:00:31I never took it as seriously as you.
01:00:33She's different.
01:00:35She's real.
01:00:37A pregnant gold digger is real?
01:00:40Please.
01:00:46I guess some things never change.
01:00:48Watch your words.
01:00:54Stay away from my wife.
01:01:03My little girl.
01:01:05Daddy.
01:01:08Your hand.
01:01:10It's nothing.
01:01:13I need to tell you something.
01:01:15I'm gonna be a mother.
01:01:17Is it that Ethan boys?
01:01:19No. No.
01:01:20Then who?
01:01:22It doesn't matter.
01:01:24But what does matter is that this is my baby.
01:01:27And I'm gonna love them so much.
01:01:31Baby.
01:01:33Hospital bills.
01:01:35What are you getting money for?
01:01:37Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:01:40No. No. It's not like that.
01:01:42Did someone take advantage of you?
01:01:44My little girl.
01:01:46No.
01:01:49Hi, Mr. Reid.
01:01:50I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:01:55I'm the father of her child.
01:01:57Adrian.
01:01:59I'm not just the father.
01:02:01I'm the man who's gonna spend the rest of his life making sure your daughter and our child get everything they deserve.
01:02:06Pretty words from a rich man.
01:02:09Not words. Facts.
01:02:11I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:02:14Full treatment plan. Best specialists.
01:02:16Adrian.
01:02:18And I promise you this.
01:02:21Every morning she's gonna wake up knowing that she is cherished.
01:02:25Every decision I make, every step I take will be to ensure her happiness.
01:02:29You really mean that, don't you?
01:02:32Yes, sir, I do.
01:02:34Well...
01:02:37Maybe...
01:02:39I can stop worrying now.
01:02:40But I didn't know you should go into the wrong room.
01:02:43Thank you for what you said in there.
01:02:51I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:02:53No, no, no. I wasn't just doing anything. Every word I said in there is true.
01:03:00Adrian.
01:03:06Laila, I need to tell you something.
01:03:09I've been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
01:03:15Yes, we had a contract, but I realized you've become everything to me.
01:03:21You're not my surrogate.
01:03:25You're not my convenient fiancée.
01:03:29You're my partner.
01:03:32If you have me.
01:03:36But what about Ethan and Vivian?
01:03:39What about them?
01:03:43Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan?
01:03:46Revenge? I never loved Vivian.
01:03:49And Ethan, he's not worth a second thought.
01:03:51Really?
01:03:54Then who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:03:59That was...
01:04:02I was jealous, okay?
01:04:07I thought of you with him.
01:04:10Wow. The great Mr. Crawford. Jealous.
01:04:14Don't mention it. I have a reputation to maintain.
01:04:16I'm not letting you go.
01:04:33Not ever.
01:04:34Surrogacy?
01:04:42Surrogacy?
01:04:43Contract marriage?
01:04:46Oh, this is too perfect.
01:04:47My God.
01:04:48Oh, this is too perfect.
01:04:48Oh, this is too perfect.
01:04:51I don't care.
01:05:21Whiskey. Neat.
01:05:26What's so urgent?
01:05:28I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you.
01:05:31Is this about her and my uncle?
01:05:33It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:05:37Your perfect uncle?
01:05:39He hired her.
01:05:41She's just a surrogate.
01:05:43Their whole engagement is a lie.
01:05:46A contract?
01:05:49The board would love to hear about this.
01:05:53Next week's family meeting.
01:05:56He'll reveal everything.
01:05:58Until then, let's gather more evidence.
01:06:02And once he's ruined...
01:06:04I'll comfort him.
01:06:06Help him rebuild.
01:06:08He'll remember who he truly belongs with.
01:06:14And Lila?
01:06:16Well, once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:06:19You can have your little toy back.
01:06:23Cheers.
01:06:25Um...
01:06:40Ethan's in meetings all afternoon.
01:06:43That's okay. I don't mind waiting.
01:06:46These documents require his immediate attention.
01:06:54Would you mind getting me some tea, dear?
01:07:02I'm sorry to see agreements.
01:07:04The whole contracts.
01:07:07Come on.
01:07:09The train's always so organized.
01:07:11You're gonna miss everything.
01:07:12You're gonna miss everything.
01:07:21It's just a stupid cat.
01:07:22Don't!
01:07:23No!
01:07:24No!
01:07:25No!
01:07:26No!
01:07:27No!
01:07:28No!
01:07:29No!
01:07:30No!
01:07:31No!
01:07:32No!
01:07:33No!
01:07:34No!
01:07:35No!
01:07:36No!
01:07:37No!
01:07:38No!
01:07:39No!
01:07:40No!
01:07:41No!
01:07:42No!
01:07:43No!
01:07:44No!
01:07:45No!
01:07:46No!
01:07:47No!
01:07:48No!
01:07:49No!
01:07:50No!
01:07:51No!
01:07:52No!
01:07:53No!
01:07:54No!
01:07:55No!
01:07:56No!
01:07:57No!
01:07:58No!
01:07:59No!
01:08:00No!
01:08:01No!
01:08:02No!
01:08:03No!
01:08:04No!
01:08:05No!
01:08:06No!
01:08:07Right here, right now.
01:08:12Lil doesn't have to know.
01:08:14She's already asleep.
01:08:17It could just be our little secret.
01:08:22Here?
01:08:24In the living room?
01:08:27Wherever you want.
01:08:29Someone might see us.
01:08:31Are you scared?
01:08:31I know somewhere more, Rabbit.
01:08:46Where are we going?
01:08:48Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:08:52Ladies first.
01:08:57Enjoy the fresh air.
01:08:59Adrian! Adrian!
01:09:01You can't do this to me.
01:09:03I'm a Crawford executor.
01:09:10Stop filming me.
01:09:12This is harassment.
01:09:13I will sue you.
01:09:14I will sue you so hard.
01:09:19Adrian!
01:09:20Adrian!
01:09:21Adrian, let me in.
01:09:30Everyone.
01:09:31This crisis could have destroyed us, but thanks to your tireless efforts, Crawford is stronger
01:09:38than ever.
01:09:39To the best team in the business!
01:09:45Though, speaking of tonight's celebration, there's something you all should be prepared
01:09:52for.
01:09:52For what?
01:09:53For what?
01:09:53My uncle is bringing his fiancée tonight.
01:09:59The thing is, her and I were together until very recently.
01:10:04I know, I know, I know.
01:10:08But please, when they arrive, act normal.
01:10:12I couldn't bear any drama.
01:10:14She left you for your uncle.
01:10:18These things happen.
01:10:22Everyone.
01:10:23I'd like to introduce you to my fiancée, Lila Reed.
01:10:27Hello, everybody.
01:10:28It's lovely to meet you all.
01:10:30I need to check some numbers.
01:10:31Did I do something wrong?
01:10:44How are you feeling?
01:10:46Is the morning sickness over yet?
01:10:48I'm fine.
01:10:49You know, I've been worried.
01:10:53All this stress can't be good for the baby.
01:10:57Which hospital are you using?
01:11:00I could drive you next time.
01:11:01That's not necessary.
01:11:04Come on.
01:11:05We used to tell each other everything.
01:11:08Just want to make sure you're getting the proper care.
01:11:10If I know her hospital, then I can get her surrogate history.
01:11:15How thoughtful.
01:11:17But Adrian handles all my appointments personally.
01:11:20The real hero of the hour.
01:11:22Wow.
01:11:27Beautiful, isn't she?
01:11:30The type of woman who belongs in Adrian's world.
01:11:34Excuse me.
01:11:36You know how my uncle thinks.
01:11:38Like a chess master.
01:11:41Every piece has its use.
01:11:44Some for business.
01:11:46Others for...
01:11:48You don't know him.
01:11:50Oh, but I do.
01:11:52Adrian Crawford cares exactly about one person.
01:11:56Adrian Crawford.
01:11:57He sees people as investments.
01:12:00Vivian?
01:12:01Perfect for managing the company.
01:12:03You?
01:12:05Well, I think we both know what your role is.
01:12:08He's wrong.
01:12:12He has to be wrong.
01:12:13He has to be wrong.
01:12:13Everyone in this world has their place.
01:12:36Their purpose.
01:12:38Maybe it's time I found mine again.
01:12:40Maybe it's time I found mine again.
01:12:40Maybe when's the last time you ate something?
01:13:03I don't know.
01:13:04I don't know.
01:13:06Breakfast?
01:13:07Yesterday's breakfast.
01:13:12That's enough for today.
01:13:14Okay.
01:13:14The prenatal instructor said this exercise should help.
01:13:22Okay.
01:13:23Like this?
01:13:25Uh, almost.
01:13:25Um, I think I need a little more instruction.
01:13:39Everything looks perfect.
01:14:04The baby's development's right on track.
01:14:07Really?
01:14:09Really.
01:14:10Now that you're in the stable period, intimate relations is perfectly safe, as long as you're
01:14:16gentle.
01:14:17Just listen to your bodies and...
01:14:20Yes.
01:14:20Uh, thank you, doctor.
01:14:27Everything will be open.
01:14:41Dr. Anderson.
01:14:42Let's talk about Adrian Crawford's arrangement.
01:14:54Was it a surrogacy contract?
01:14:59Mr. Harrington.
01:15:01Dr. Patient Confidentiality.
01:15:03I hear that the new hospital complex is looking for department heads.
01:15:12Wouldn't it be a shame if your name was mysteriously removed from the list?
01:15:22Now, about those hospital records.
01:15:25Oh, my God.
01:15:52Surrogacy.
01:15:53Surrogacy.
01:15:54Five generations of Crawford dignity, destroyed by tabloid gossip.
01:16:02I knew that girl was hiding something.
01:16:07Did you?
01:16:09Did you really pay some nobody to carry your heir?
01:16:13Tell me it isn't true.
01:16:15You.
01:16:23You...
01:16:23It's your doing.
01:16:26I...
01:16:26Adrian.
01:16:30I need to discuss something with you.
01:16:33Privately.
01:16:33I can make all of this disappear.
01:16:42All you have to do is remember who you really belong with.
01:16:46Who I belong with.
01:16:47We were good together.
01:16:48We can't be again.
01:16:50Give me the position I deserve.
01:16:53As Mrs. Crawford by your side.
01:16:55I do need your help.
01:16:58Please, never show up again.
01:17:02I won't let them hurt you.
01:17:19It's not me I'm worried about.
01:17:23If they exposed the truth about our arrangement, you could lose everything.
01:17:29Nothing's more important than you and our child.
01:17:32This emergency family meeting will come to order.
01:17:57I have proof.
01:17:59Miss Reed is not Adrian's loving bride-to-be.
01:18:04She's just a surrogate.
01:18:07Paid to carry the Crawford heir.
01:18:13I have proof too.
01:18:15Medical records from Crawford.
01:18:25Crawford.
01:18:27The medical center.
01:18:44Showing that Miss Reed.
01:18:49Underwent.
01:18:57For which she was generously compensated.
01:19:22Paid surrogacy.
01:19:28How come?
01:19:41Fine, you want the truth?
01:19:42Yes, it started with a surrogacy.
01:19:47But Lila, she's the woman I chose to be the mother of my child.
01:19:51And I won't let anyone here slander her.
01:19:55You want this arrangement?
01:19:56Fine.
01:19:58But then, it costs you everything.
01:20:02Resign from the company.
01:20:12Give up your inheritance.
01:20:15The child can see in the family.
01:20:18Of course.
01:20:18But the mother will.
01:20:20Her services won't be required after delivery.
01:20:22Yes, I did the IVF treatment.
01:20:32But I never, never saw this baby as a business transaction.
01:20:38You know what?
01:20:42You can say whatever you want about me.
01:20:45But don't you dare question my love for this child.
01:20:50Don't you dare?
01:20:51Don't you dare?
01:20:52Don't you dare?
01:20:53Don't you dare?
01:20:54Enough!
01:20:56Enough!
01:21:06Enough!
01:21:08I'm willing to give up everything, the company, the inheritance of all of it.
01:21:38But I won't give up her, she's my wife, the only one that I will ever want.
01:21:48We're getting married, properly, publicly.
01:21:54Fine, you want to throw away everything for this, for this woman.
01:22:07Then, you will get nothing from this family.
01:22:12Nothing!
01:22:13Sign it, renounce your inheritance.
01:22:16All of it.
01:22:18No, no, no, no, Adrian, stop.
01:22:23Not worth losing everything for.
01:22:25You're worth everything.
01:22:30The company, the assets, I built them once.
01:22:33I can build them again.
01:22:35But you, you and our child, you're our real future.
01:22:40Still time to think it over, son.
01:22:55Let's go.
01:22:56Thanks.
01:22:57You've been at this for hours.
01:23:03I just gotta finish this last chapter.
01:23:16I'll get you some food.
01:23:17What do you mean you're canceling the contract?
01:23:19We've worked together for ten years.
01:23:20No, no, no, no, no.
01:23:21Don't call Adrian.
01:23:22What do you mean you're canceling the contract?
01:23:24We've worked together for ten years.
01:23:26No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:23:27Don't call Adrian.
01:23:28Hello?
01:23:29Hello?
01:23:30Hello?
01:23:31Hello?
01:23:32The Singapore merger just collapsed.
01:23:33They say they'll only work with Adrian.
01:23:34No, no, no, no.
01:23:35Don't call Adrian.
01:23:36Hello?
01:23:37Hello?
01:23:38Hello?
01:23:39Hello?
01:23:40The Singapore merger just collapsed.
01:23:41They say they'll only work with Adrian.
01:23:42This is all your fault.
01:23:43You and your billionaire plan to get rid of him.
01:23:44My fault.
01:23:45You're the one who can't handle basic accounting.
01:23:46Enough.
01:23:47The board meeting starts in five minutes.
01:23:48Please tell me you have good news.
01:23:49No, no, no.
01:23:50No, no, no.
01:23:51No, no, no.
01:23:52No, no, no.
01:23:53No, no.
01:23:54No, no.
01:23:55No, no, no.
01:23:56No, no, no.
01:23:57No, no, no.
01:23:58No, no, no.
01:23:59No, no.
01:24:00No, no, no.
01:24:01No, no.
01:24:02No, no, no.
01:24:03No, no, no.
01:24:04No, no, no.
01:24:05No, no, no.
01:24:06No, no, no.
01:24:07In five minutes, please tell me you have good news.
01:24:19Oh my god.
01:24:20This story sounds exactly like the powerful scandal.
01:24:23Wait.
01:24:24Is this about the Adrian Crawford?
01:24:29The billionaire CEO giving up everything for love.
01:24:32I'm crying.
01:24:33Is everything okay?
01:24:37I think I just went viral.
01:24:40I heard out stories about us.
01:24:43Look.
01:24:44Should I be concerned about what else you've revealed about me?
01:24:48Have you seen the comments?
01:25:05They're calling us heartless villains.
01:25:07Can't believe they're trying to surprise them.
01:25:11True love diseases.
01:25:13Crawford Industries lost my business.
01:25:15Team Adrian all the way.
01:25:19Yes.
01:25:20Penguin Publishing.
01:25:21Um, sorry.
01:25:22I actually have Random House on the other line,
01:25:24so I'm gonna have to...
01:25:26The movie rights?
01:25:29Um, I'm sorry.
01:25:30I'm gonna have to call you right back.
01:25:31Okay.
01:25:34The movie rights.
01:25:35What?
01:25:36Oh my god.
01:25:37My wife is so popular now.
01:25:38I know.
01:25:39Your father?
01:25:40Son.
01:25:41The board wants you back.
01:25:42Take your position.
01:25:43Your inheritance.
01:25:44I'll have to ask my wife.
01:25:45What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:25:47I know.
01:25:48I know.
01:25:49We've been there.
01:25:50Come back.
01:25:51Anyway, I to ask you.
01:25:52What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:25:54It's the first order of business.
01:25:55Starting without me.
01:25:56Perfect timing.
01:25:57I'm announcing your termination.
01:25:58You can't fire me.
01:26:00First order of business.
01:26:06Starting without me.
01:26:08Perfect timing.
01:26:09I'm announcing your termination.
01:26:12You can't fire me.
01:26:14I'm a shareholder and a senior executive.
01:26:17The company crisis last month wasn't an accident.
01:26:20You and Ethan deliberately sabotaged our deals.
01:26:23You can't prove any great email, every call, every secret meeting without a penny.
01:26:30All documented.
01:26:32Lawsuit's already been filed.
01:26:34You and Ethan will be hearing from our lawyers.
01:26:37Oh.
01:26:39Oh.
01:26:46Oh, my God.
01:26:48Yeah.
01:26:53Adrian.
01:26:55I, uh, I think my water just broke.
01:26:58Yeah.
01:26:59Come home.
01:27:02Mr. Crawford, they vote for new director.
01:27:10For her, he'd drop everything.
01:27:15Including a multi-billion dollar card.
01:27:17Before we vote, there is something you should know.
01:27:30Adrian and Lila were legally married two months ago.
01:27:34And they have my full blessing.
01:27:51Both my girls still awake?
