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.
00:02:49Oh, my God.
00:03:19Oh, my God.
00:03:36Voila, you're early.
00:03:39Why so shocked, babe?
00:03:41You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:03:44Hmm?
00:03:47Come and join us.
00:03:49Three 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 going to have a baby with you.
00:04:05Baby?
00:04:07Sweetheart.
00:04:08You wouldn't even put out after three years,
00:04:10and now you're thinking about playing mommy.
00:04:13Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs,
00:04:18these lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:04:23Screw you.
00:04:25I'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?
00:04:47I don't need a man.
00:04:50One appointment?
00:04:52One sperm donor?
00:04:53Well, I 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, gone.
00:05:12The surrogate candidates are all thoroughbreds,
00:05:16so I believe you're 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.
00:05:28Oh, god.
00:05:39Ah!
00:05:40Ah!
00:05:43Ah!
00:05:47Ah!
00:05:48Ah!
00:05:49Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:06:15The interview?
00:06:17Yes, of course.
00:06:19Please sit.
00:06:34Right, let's get started.
00:06:39Hey, education background.
00:06:43Excuse me?
00:06:44And I'm going to need a full medical history,
00:06:47specifically genetic disorders.
00:06:50Do you work out?
00:06:52I mean, you look acceptable.
00:07:00Do 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?
00:07:17I 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?
00:07:26Mr. Crofton, I can't show how it.
00:07:30Thompson, leave us.
00:07:35What 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.
00:07:54I work you out five times a week.
00:07:57As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:08:05Now Thompson is gone, are you comfortable to share yours?
00:08:11Yes, of course.
00:08:16I'm perfectly healthy too, no genetic disorders, and I get regular checkups.
00:08:23I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:08:28You really do seem like the perfect match.
00:08:32Good.
00:08:32Now, regarding compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
00:08:38Well, I was thinking around $800.
00:08:43$800.
00:08:45I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:08:51I know, I know it's not a lot of money, but considering the quality, I could help, I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:09:00Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:09:10All of this?
00:09:11Seriously?
00:09:13Take 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?
00:09:25Are you insane?
00:09:30That's standard procedure for surrogacy arrangements.
00:09:34Surrogacy?
00:09:35Surrogacy.
00:09:36The position you're interviewing for.
00:09:39Interview?
00:09:40I'm hated by sperm.
00:09:42You came to what?
00:09:44I thought you were a donor.
00:09:46That's why I was asking you all the questions about the history and stuff.
00:09:49I 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!
00:10:03A million dollars.
00:10:05For carrying my child.
00:10:06I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford, not somebody else's.
00:10:14Ah, you might need that.
00:10:24Clean this up.
00:10:26Bring in the next.
00:10:27Miss Reed, your father, you need to come now.
00:10:39Okay, I'm coming.
00:10:57Doctor, how is he?
00:11:02How is my father?
00:11:04The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:11:07Then do something.
00:11:09Save him.
00:11:11Is there a treatment you can do?
00:11:13Uh, there is a new treatment.
00:11:15Okay, then let's do it.
00:11:17But maybe it's quite expensive.
00:11:19How much?
00:11:20Around one million dollars.
00:11:22A million dollars?
00:11:24Yes.
00:11:24Can I get a loan or something?
00:11:29Actually, this is a new technology.
00:11:31And there is no loan policy.
00:11:32Sorry.
00:11:33Sorry.
00:11:33Sorry.
00:11:33Sorry.
00:11:33Sorry.
00:11:34Sorry.
00:11:35Sorry.
00:11:35Sorry.
00:11:35Sorry.
00:11:35Sorry.
00:11:36Sorry.
00:11:37Sorry.
00:11:37Sorry.
00:11:38I'm right.
00:11:38Sorry.
00:11:39Oh!
00:11:40I'm in the middle of a day.
00:11:41Yes.
00:11:45Oh!
00:11:46Yes.
00:12:00No.
00:12:00This is the last batch.
00:12:15Yes, sir.
00:12:15The blonde want to know about ring sizes.
00:12:19And brunette asked about moving in.
00:12:23And the redhead...
00:12:25All of them want the Crawford name.
00:12:28No one's qualified.
00:12:31She was refreshing.
00:12:34No pretense.
00:12:35No schemes.
00:12:37But she wasn't even here for surrogacy.
00:12:41Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job.
00:12:55Hello.
00:12:57I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:12:59I've been thinking.
00:13:11I've been thinking.
00:13:13About yesterday.
00:13:15I may have been a bit hasty.
00:13:17You're reconsidering.
00:13:19Don't sound so smug about it.
00:13:20I have my reasons.
00:13:21As do I.
00:13:25I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:13:31What kind of modification?
00:13:32Joint custody.
00:13:34You wouldn't be just carrying the child.
00:13:36You'd be the baby's mother.
00:13:38Why would you agree to that?
00:13:39You're honest.
00:13:41Direct.
00:13:42No hidden agenda.
00:13:45Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:13:47So I'd really get to be a part of the baby's life?
00:13:49Yes.
00:13:50But understand this clearly.
00:13:53We'll be parents.
00:13:54Nothing more.
00:13:55No romantic entanglements.
00:13:58No emotional expectations.
00:14:00Don't flutter yourself.
00:14:04God.
00:14:04Rich man and there he goes.
00:14:10Father.
00:14:11The board is getting impatient.
00:14:14Have you considered the arrangements I suggested?
00:14:17I've already made my own plans.
00:14:19Adrian.
00:14:20If you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
00:14:27The Crawford name means something.
00:14:29I won't let it be tainted by...
00:14:31I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:14:33What?
00:14:34We'll discuss this at dinner.
00:14:37Did I just get promoted from surrogate to fiancé?
00:14:45Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just say,
00:14:50Just parents, nothing more.
00:14:53The situation requires adaptation.
00:14:58Hmm.
00:14:58Is that CEO talk for I change my mind?
00:15:01If we need a convincing story,
00:15:03you'll be staying at my house during the pregnancy.
00:15:05And after the baby comes?
00:15:07We'll arrange for an amicable separation,
00:15:10continue parenting,
00:15:11and I'll arrange for any additional compensation for the complexity.
00:15:16The original amount is fine,
00:15:18but I am going to need it soon.
00:15:34Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:15:36I think my whole apartment could fit in this entryway.
00:15:58Well, well, well.
00:16:00Missed me so much, you tracked me down.
00:16:02You can't get over me, huh?
00:16:11Following me here like a lost puppy?
00:16:13Following you?
00:16:14Why would I...
00:16:15What are you doing here?
00:16:17Sweetheart,
00:16:18this is my family's house.
00:16:20I'm sure you know that.
00:16:22Hmm.
00:16:23You never let me have sex with you.
00:16:25Look at you now,
00:16:26sneaking into my house.
00:16:28Finally realize what you're missing, baby.
00:16:31Get your hands off me, you creep.
00:16:34Playing hard to get used to be cute,
00:16:36but now?
00:16:37Come on, baby.
00:16:39We both know this is what you came here for.
00:16:42Uncle, what are you doing?
00:16:44Get your filthy hands off my fiancé.
00:16:49Your...
00:16:49Your what?
00:16:51Fiancé?
00:16:51Fiancé?
00:16:55How could she be your fiancé?
00:16:56She's just...
00:16:57Watch your mouth.
00:16:59Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:17:03This is crazy.
00:17:05You seriously don't know.
00:17:06I won't repeat myself.
00:17:09Stay away from my fiancé.
00:17:11One more word?
00:17:12You can kiss that trust fund.
00:17:14Goodbye.
00:17:14Goodbye.
00:17:14You all right?
00:17:33Yeah, so...
00:17:35Ethan.
00:17:36He's your nephew.
00:17:39Then he's your...
00:17:41Well, he was...
00:17:42He's kind of...
00:17:44He was my boyfriend.
00:17:46I mean, ex-boyfriend.
00:17:47I mean, like, an extremely ex-ex-boyfriend.
00:17:51I see.
00:17:54Tom, someone bring your things in shortly.
00:17:57Sorry.
00:17:58Sorry.
00:18:00Um, so...
00:18:02Where am I staying?
00:18:06Here.
00:18:08What?
00:18:09Unless you prefer explaining to the staff
00:18:11why the happy couple
00:18:12sleep in separate rooms.
00:18:14Oh, of course.
00:18:16Fake engagement.
00:18:17Real roommates.
00:18:21Don't worry.
00:18:22I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:18:23What are you doing?
00:18:34What are you doing?
00:18:50This is the line.
00:18:53Don't cross it.
00:18:55Ever.
00:18:57For sure.
00:18:59Good.
00:18:59Oh, my plan worked perfectly.
00:19:05Oh, my plan worked perfectly.
00:19:21Wait.
00:19:22How did I...
00:19:23Sir, are you okay?
00:19:34Fine.
00:19:36Continue.
00:19:37Continue.
00:19:45Stay on your side.
00:19:47Lila, wake up.
00:19:55Lila, wake up.
00:19:59Lila, please.
00:20:01What?
00:20:01I don't know.
00:20:22I don't know.
00:20:22Control.
00:20:23Attention.
00:20:24Control.
00:20:24Sorry, didn't see you there.
00:20:44You're always in the way.
00:20:49Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancé.
00:20:53Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:55Catherine, please. We're family now. Supposedly.
00:21:00Helen, tea, please.
00:21:02Yes, Mrs. Crawford?
00:21:06So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:21:11Through mutual friends.
00:21:15Oh, really? Mutual friends.
00:21:17Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:21:26Unless this is more of a business arrangement.
00:21:30I'm sorry?
00:21:31Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved.
00:21:37The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:21:50Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancé, your presence is required.
00:21:58I'd be honored.
00:21:59Hmm, perfect. I'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. Let 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?
00:22:52You're just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:55Oh!
00:22:58Mr. Crawford!
00:23:00She 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.
00:23:23I 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.
00:23:31I'll take the sofa.
00:23:32I 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?
00:24:01How's the happy couple?
00:24:01How's the happy couple?
00:24:02Oh, that's awkward.
00:24:11I'm just a small thing.
00:24:17That is not a small pinch.
00:24:19It's okay.
00:24:20I'm here.
00:24:22You're safe.
00:24:23Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:53Focus, this is just a simple metaphor procedure.
00:25:17Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:25:21Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:25:26Yeah, I'm fine.
00:25:28I 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.
00:25:36I can come in if you need me to.
00:25:39Come in.
00:25:41What's up?
00:25:51You want to help?
00:25:52Of course.
00:25:53What do you need me to...
00:25:56Oh, you're...
00:25:59Oh, you're...
00:26:01I'm so sorry.
00:26:02I didn't...
00:26:03I didn't realize.
00:26:04I'm just...
00:26:05I'm just gonna...
00:26:06Just go somewhere.
00:26:07I just need you.
00:26:08Somewhere very far.
00:26:09I'm sorry.
00:26:10Well, that was helpful.
00:26:15Are you okay?
00:26:22Yeah.
00:26:23Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shocks would hurt, but it's...
00:26:27It's causing you pain.
00:26:28Yeah, it's...
00:26:29It's a little uncomfortable.
00:26:30But I mean, it will...
00:26:31It will pass.
00:26:32Oh.
00:26:33It's...
00:26:34Oh.
00:26:35Here.
00:26:36Oh.
00:26:37Oh.
00:26:38Okay.
00:26:39Hmm.
00:26:40Hmm.
00:26:41Oh.
00:26:42Thanks.
00:26:43Well, the hormone shocks were a part of the agreement.
00:26:58And any resulting pain is technically a work related issue.
00:27:01And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:27:06Okay.
00:27:31All right.
00:27:32Oh.
00:27:33Purely professional care.
00:27:44Purely professional, huh?
00:27:46Hmm.
00:27:54Adrian?
00:27:55um about this weekend i'm sorry there's an emergency in atlanta then the merge is falling

00:43:46I'm so pleased Adrienne 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 Adrienne's happiness, more than anyone else.
00:44:07Oh my God!
00:44:09You two are finally back together.
00:44:13Everyone, look who's here, the golden couple.
00:44:17I heard Adrienne Colford was engaged.
00:44:20I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:44:22When is the wedding?
00:44:23Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancé, Lala Reid.
00:44:38We're expecting our first child, and of course you're all welcome to the wedding.
00:44:42She's pregnant?
00:44:43Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:44:46I just assumed congratulations for you both.
00:44:54Adrienne Colford and a complete unknown?
00:44:56How did you manage that?
00:44:58Adrienne chose for over Vivian.
00:44:59Is he crazy?
00:45:02Oh, Benji, how have you been?
00:45:04Great.
00:45:04Let's go, Ben.
00:45:12They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:45:16Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:45:23Gentlemen!
00:45:24What are you all talking about?
00:45:25They do look like the perfect couple.
00:45:46Drinking?
00:45:47I thought you were pregnant.
00:45:49None of your business.
00:45:51You know how Adrienne 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?
00:46:14Until...
00:46:15Vivian fell madly in love with me.
00:46:21Leaving dear Uncle heartbroken.
00:46:24Since then,
00:46:26whatever I want,
00:46:27he has to take.
00:46:29Whatever I have,
00:46:31he has to win.
00:46:33Like you.
00:46:36What you want,
00:46:37you never have.
00:46:39Never.
00:46:40You and Ethan,
00:46:42you've never really
00:46:42gone 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.
00:47:02I'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.
00:47:26What happened back there?
00:47:43Talk to me.
00:47:45Lila,
00:47:46I am worried.
00:47:48So you talk to Ethan,
00:47:49but not me.
00:47:50Oh, you do care so much
00:47:54about your nephew,
00:47:55don't you?
00:48:10Lila,
00:48:10open the door.
00:48:11Please.
00:48:15Please.
00:48:15We walked that season by ghosts
00:48:37I'd walk it in
00:48:45The act is still warm
00:48:50I apologize about last night, I was just worried about you
00:48:55Worried about me or worried about the baby?
00:49:01What do you mean?
00:49:03Is this why you're being so nice to me?
00:49:06Making me breakfast, being all protective
00:49:10It's just for the baby?
00:49:13Leila, you've been so strange since yesterday, why?
00:49:18Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:49:25Yes
00:49:33And then she got with Ethan?
00:49:37Yes
00:49:39Okay, so I'm just-
00:49:40Let Vivian and I will-
00:49:42Sir, the Singapore Marjorie is falling apart
00:49:49We need to immediately
00:49:50I'm in the middle of summer
00:49:52The board is threatening to pull out
00:49:54I'll be there
00:49:56We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back
00:50:06Of course, business first
00:50:08Leila
00:50:20Just go
00:50:21Sir, there have been complications
00:50:24Sir, there have been complications.
00:50:29During your absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members.
00:50:34Suggesting your sudden marriage plans indicate obstacle decision making.
00:50:39Several executors are questioning if someone so personally distracted should inherit the company.
00:50:54Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing my personal life.
00:51:07Your sudden access has let me be very clear.
00:51:16This 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, my execution, my strategies.
00:51:32So yes, I am getting married.
00:51:35And yes, I took some time off.
00:51:37And no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:51:46Because without me, there wouldn't be a company left to inherit.
00:51:51Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:51:57Never.
00:51:59Never.
00:52:01Never.
00:52:02Never, never, never, never.
00:52:05Until it breaks…
00:52:06I had a short
00:52:15single movie slot called having a massive breakout.
00:52:21Adrian! 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.
00:52:49Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:52:56You leave Lila out of this.
00:52:58You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:53:02Yeah, run along. Adults are talking business now.
00:53:06We just need to bore him for a moment, dear. Business matters.
00:53:10You wouldn't understand.
00:53:11That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:53:27She'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.
00:53:38Someone like me.
00:53:41Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:53:46Non-negotiable.
00:53:47She will follow you every day, just like before.
00:53:50And your little pet project can stay home and gestate.
00:53:54That's all she's good for.
00:53:56Get out!
00:53:59Both of you!
00:54:00How dare you!
00:54:02If 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.
00:54:09Adrian, be reasonable.
00:54:11She is worth a thousand to you.
00:54:14Tomorrow, 9 a.m.
00:54:16Vivian starts.
00:54:18No discussion.
00:54:20Is that all?
00:54:22Yes, for now.
00:54:23But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:25But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:53Stop it.
00:55:02Stop checking.
00:55:05This is ridiculous.
00:55:08I 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 going to 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.
00:55:34A broodmare.
00:55:38Way to get back at Ethan.
00:55:40A broodmare.
00:55:41I'm fine.
00:55:42I'm fine.
00:55:43You're not fine.
00:55:44Hospital.
00:55:45Now.
00:55:46I'm fine.
00:55:47I'm fine.
00:55:48You're not fine.
00:55:49Hospital.
00:55:50Now.
00:55:51I'm fine!
00:55:52Thanks.
00:55:53I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciated you today.
00:56:12You know, you used to look at me like that.
00:56:17All sweet.
00:56:18Sincere.
00:56:19Don't.
00:56:21Why not?
00:56:22Is there really no chance for us?
00:56:24Ethan.
00:56:27Lila, 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!
00:56:40What are you doing?
00:56:41I'm protecting you.
00:56:42From what?
00:56:43He's helping.
00:56:44He brought me here.
00:56:45My hand was bleeding.
00:56:46So now you're defending him?
00:56:47No, I'm defending the truth.
00:56:48Sometimes...
00:56:51I guess people surprise you.
00:56:53I see.
00:56:56Adrian...
00:56:58I'll call the doctor to come.
00:56:59I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OBGYN down immediately.
00:57:08Sir, it's just a minor car.
00:57:10I want a full prenatal checkup.
00:57:12I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson. He's going to be down here in 10 minutes.
00:57:16Always so controlled, aren't you uncle?
00:57:19Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:57:25Remember our beach dates?
00:57:29How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:57:35Thompson, bring in the catering. The Michelin star one.
00:57:38Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:57:43Oh, well done. No sauce.
00:57:46I don't think that I did say...
00:57:48How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:57:51Pride and Prejudice, BBC 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.
00:58:04You did what?
00:58:05Wow!
00:58:08Using money to get to her heart.
00:58:11Huh, uncle.
00:58:16The Alzheimer's Wing is fully renovated.
00:58:18Named after Lila's grandmother, as she mentioned.
00:58:21Oh, it's fully funded.
00:58:24Anonymous donor.
00:58:30He may be able to offer you money, but you're gonna miss this.
00:58:47Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:58:51Just smiling.
00:58:54I'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.
00:59:03I 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. We should leave. Let her rest.
00:59:17The hospitalized. Overworked, they say.
00:59:19Have meetings.
00:59:20Cancel them.
00:59:21Go to visit.
00:59:22Still so cold.
00:59:24Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was on one?
00:59:25We could be together again.
00:59:26I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
00:59:27What we have pretended to.
00:59:29But Lila, she's different. She's real.
00:59:31Pregnant gold digger is real.
00:59:32Please.
00:59:33I guess some things never change.
00:59:34All the love that you gave me.
00:59:35I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't...
00:59:37I couldn't...
00:59:38I couldn't...
00:59:39I couldn't...
00:59:40I couldn't...
00:59:41But Lila, she's different.
00:59:42I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
00:59:43What we have pretended to.
00:59:44But Lila, she's different.
00:59:45She's real.
00:59:46Pregnant gold digger is real.
00:59:47Please.
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. I'm...
01:00:03Sorry I couldn't...
01:00:04I couldn't give you better.
01:00:07Daddy.
01:00:08If only I were healthy, if I could work.
01:00:09Daddy, don't.
01:00:13Pregnant all alone.
01:00:15She's not alone.
01:00:18Let'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.
01:00:34She's real.
01:00:37Pregnant gold digger is real.
01:00:39Please.
01:00:40I guess some things never change.
01:00:53Watch your words.
01:00:55Stay away from my wife.
01:00:57My little girl.
01:00:58Daddy.
01:00:59Hello.
01:01:00Your hand.
01:01:01It's...
01:01:02It's nothing.
01:01:03I need to tell you something.
01:01:04I'm gonna be a mother.
01:01:05Is it that Ethan boys?
01:01:06No.
01:01:07No.
01:01:08Then who?
01:01:09It doesn't matter.
01:01:10But what does matter is that this is my baby and I'm gonna love them so much.
01:01:16So...
01:01:17Baby.
01:01:18And hospital bills.
01:01:19What are you getting money for?
01:01:20Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:01:21No.
01:01:22No.
01:01:23It's not like that.
01:01:24Did someone take advantage of you?
01:01:25My little girl.
01:01:26My little girl.
01:01:27Hi Mr. Reid.
01:01:28I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:01:29I'm the father of her child.
01:01:30I'm the father of her child.
01:01:31And I'm gonna love them.
01:01:32And I'm gonna love them so much.
01:01:33So...
01:01:34Baby.
01:01:35I'm gonna love them so much.
01:01:36So...
01:01:37Baby.
01:01:38I'm gonna...
01:01:39Hospital bills.
01:01:40What are you getting money for?
01:01:41Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:01:42No.
01:01:43No.
01:01:44It's not like that.
01:01:45Did someone take advantage of you?
01:01:46My little girl.
01:01:48Hi Mr. Reid.
01:01:50I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:01:51I'm the father of her child.
01:01:56Adrian.
01:01:57I'm not just the father.
01:01:59I'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.
01:02:10Facts.
01:02:11I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:02:14Full treatment plan.
01:02:15Best specialists.
01:02:16Adrian.
01:02:17And I promise you this.
01:02:20Every 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.
01:02:30You really mean that, don't you?
01:02:32Yes sir, I do.
01:02:35Well...
01:02:36Maybe...
01:02:37I can stop worrying now.
01:02:39For...
01:02:40What you said in there.
01:02:41I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:02:42No, no, no, no.
01:02:43I wasn't just doing anything.
01:02:44Every word I said in there is true.
01:02:45Adrian.
01:02:46No.
01:02:47No.
01:02:48No.
01:02:49No.
01:02:50No.
01:02:51No.
01:02:52No.
01:02:53No, no, no, no.
01:02:54No.
01:02:55No.
01:02:56No.
01:02:57No.
01:02:58I wasn't just doing anything.
01:02:59Every word I said in there is true.
01:03:00Adrian.
01:03:02Laila, 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.
01:03:22You're not my surrogate.
01:03:25You're not my convenient fiancé.
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 and...
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...
01:04:00I was jealous, okay?
01:04:07I thought of you with him.
01:04:10Wow.
01:04:11The great Mr. Crawford.
01:04:13Jealous.
01:04:14Don't mention it.
01:04:15I have a reputation to maintain.
01:04:16I'm not letting you go.
01:04:33Not ever.
01:04:34Surrogacy.

01:09:39to the best team in the business.
01:09:45Though, speaking of tonight's celebration,
01:09:50there's something you all should be prepared for.
01:09:53For what?
01:09:55My uncle is bringing his fiance 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, I'd like to introduce you to my fiance, Lila Reed.
01:10:27Hello, everybody. It's lovely to meet you all.
01:10:30I need to check some numbers.
01:10:34Did I do something wrong?
01:10:38How are you feeling?
01:10:46Is the morning sickness over yet?
01:10:48I'm fine.
01:10:50You know, I've been worried.
01:10:53All this stress can't be good for the baby.
01:10:55Which 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.
01:11:11If I know her hospital,
01:11:12then I can get her surrogate history.
01:11:15How thoughtful.
01:11:16But Adrian handles all my appointments personally.
01:11:19The real hero of the hour.
01:11:22Wow!
01:11:27Beautiful.
01:11:29Isn'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.
01:11:39Like 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.
01:11:50But 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.
01:12:06I think we both know what your role is.
01:12:08He's wrong.
01:12:12He has to be wrong.
01:12:33Everyone in this world has their place.
01:12:36Their purpose.
01:12:38Maybe it's time I found mine again.
01:13:01Baby, when's the last time you ate something?
01:13:04I don't know.
01:13:06Breakfast?
01:13:06Yesterday's breakfast.
01:13:12That's enough for today.
01:13:14Okay.
01:13:19The prenatal instructor said this exercise should help.
01:13:22Okay.
01:13:23Like this?
01:13:25Almost.
01:13:25I think I need a little more instruction.
01:13:39I think I need a little more instruction.
01:13:39Everything looks perfect.
01:13:52The baby's development's right on track.
01:14:07Really?
01:14:08Really?
01:14:09Really?
01:14:10Now that you're in the stable period,
01:14:13intimate relations is perfectly safe,
01:14:15as long as you're gentle.
01:14:17Just listen to your bodies and...
01:14:20Yes.
01:14:20Thank you, doctor.
01:14:21Dr. Anderson.
01:14:39Dr. Anderson?
01:14:50Let's talk about Adrian Crawford's arrangement. Was it a surrogacy contract?
01:15:00Mr. Harrington, Dr. Patient Confidentiality.
01:15:03I hear that the new hospital complex is looking for department heads.
01:15:11Wouldn't it be a shame if your name was mysteriously removed from the list?
01:15:22Now, about those hospital records.
01:15:33Oh, my God.
01:15:43Oh, my God.
01:15:52Surrogacy. Surrogacy. Five generations of Crawford dignity destroyed by tabloid gossip.
01:16:01I 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.
01:16:22You. It's your doing.
01:16:26I...
01:16:28Adrian!
01:16:31I need to discuss something with you.
01:16:33Privately.
01:16:39Adrian, I can make all of this disappear.
01:16:43All 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.
01:16:57I do need your help.
01:16:59Please, never show up again.
01:17:01I won't let them hurt you.
01:17:03It's not me I'm worried about.
01:17:05If they expose the truth about our arrangement, you could lose everything.
01:17:08Nothing is more important than you and our child.
01:17:18I won't let them hurt you.
01:17:20It's not me I'm worried about.
01:17:23If they expose the truth about our arrangement, you could lose everything.
01:17:29Nothing's more important than you and our child.
01:17:48This emergency family meeting will come to order.
01:17:57I have proof.
01:17:59Miss Reed is not Adrienne's loving bride-to-be.
01:18:04She's just a surrogate, paid to carry the Crawford heir.
01:18:13I have proof too.
01:18:15Medical records from Crawford.
01:18:18She's just a surrogate, she's just a surrogate, she's just a surrogate.

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 dealings.
01:26:24You can't prove any great email, every call, every secret meeting with our competitors.
01:26:30I'll document it.
01:26:32Lawsuit's already been filed.
01:26:33You and Ethan will be hearing from our lawyers.
01:26:35Oh my god.
01:26:47Oh my god.
01:26:47Yeah.
01:26:48Mm.

01:26:58Yeah.
01:26:59Come home.
01:27:00Mr. Crawford, they vote for new director.
01:27:05For her, he'd drop everything, including a multi-billion dollar card.
01:27:17Before we vote, there is something you should know.
01:27:29Adrian and Lila were illegally married two months ago.
01:27:36And they have my full blessing.
01:27:40Both my girls still awake?
01:27:53I'm just finishing.
01:28:02And they have my life.
01:28:04I think that's what the matter is.
01:28:18Yes.
01:28:20No, no.
01:28:20No, no.
