00:00:00Your sister needs heart surgery now.
00:00:10$300,000. We don't... I... I need more time.
00:00:19If she doesn't have something to happen now, she's not going to make it.
00:00:22Oh, God, sis. What am I going to do?
00:00:28I have to find another way.
00:00:30Look, I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but there is a way to make that kind of money fast.
00:00:35Please, please, I'll do anything.
00:00:37It's a surrogacy program. You would be a surrogate.
00:00:43A surrogate?
00:00:58Alex?
00:01:02Don't you dare walk past me.
00:01:05I'm leaving for France, but we're dealing with this heir situation first.
00:01:10Oh, not this again. How many times do I have to tell you? No marriage, no kids.
00:01:15The moors need a family heir. Either you marry Jenny and give me a grandchild...
00:01:19I hate to break it to you, Mom, but I don't need to marry anyone to have a kid.
00:01:24You can't possibly mean...
00:01:26Hey, Kevin.
00:01:35Hey, Alex. What's going on?
00:01:38Find me a surrogate. I'm having a baby.
00:01:42Found the perfect surrogate for you. Picture myself.
00:01:535'8", 23, perfect health.
00:01:56I don't care who she is.
00:02:00Brunette? Brown eyes? Dimples? Exactly your type. I have a picture of her or something.
00:02:05It doesn't matter. Just go with her.
00:02:07You're not going to meet your surrogate?
00:02:09I can't risk it. You know, she finds out who I am next thing you know. Extortion.
00:02:14Got it. I'll have her sign everything ASAP.
00:02:18Just so we are clear, you won't be able to meet the father.
00:02:23When do I get the money?
00:02:25As soon as we know the procedure worked.
00:02:27Fine.
00:02:35Since you're here already, we could do this today if you want.
00:03:00Where'd you go?
00:03:01You're up.
00:03:02Good.
00:03:03I've got good news. I'm gonna have the money for your surgery soon.
00:03:07What?
00:03:09How?
00:03:10We can't afford it. What about dad's dead?
00:03:13Don't worry about that, okay? You just focus on getting better.
00:03:16Let me handle the money part.
00:03:18Tell me where it's coming from or I won't have the surgery.
00:03:22I...
00:03:23I became a surrogate.
00:03:25No.
00:03:29No.
00:03:30This is all my fault. Look at what I made you do.
00:03:32No, look. This is all that matters, okay?
00:03:34Taking care of you...
00:03:37That's what family does.
00:03:39And things will get better. I promise.
00:03:47Hi. I'm calling about the CEO's assistant position at New Wave Design.
00:03:51Can you start in two months?
00:03:53Yes.
00:03:54Yes.
00:03:55Yes.
00:03:56I'll be there.
00:04:01Sis?
00:04:04I got a job.
00:04:05A good one.
00:04:06What are you doing against me?
00:04:07What?
00:04:08I want to be doing fine.
00:04:09Alright.
00:04:10Music
00:04:11Talking about.
00:04:12You were WHITEB1
00:04:27Ok.
00:04:28You stole my job?
00:04:30Yeah, and what are you going to do about it?
00:04:34I mean, seriously, this is a fashion label.
00:04:38You really think you should be working for our CEO dress like that?
00:04:43My skills matter more than my looks.
00:04:46Hey, I earned this job.
00:04:49Skills?
00:04:51Our janitor dresses better than you.
00:04:55There.
00:04:57Now your cheap outfit has some style.
00:05:00You're welcome.
00:05:07I'll bark at you.
00:05:09Your hair looks better now, too.
00:05:11You're dead!
00:05:15Stop!
00:05:18Mr. Moore, I...
00:05:21You doing okay?
00:05:25Yes.
00:05:36This lunatic attacked me in front of everyone.
00:05:39She poured coffee all over me.
00:05:41Is that right?
00:05:43What started it?
00:05:44She said I stole her job.
00:05:46Did you?
00:05:47No, of course not.
00:05:48Mr. Moore, we need to get security.
00:05:51She's clearly unstable.
00:05:59You're right.
00:06:00Someone needs to go.
00:06:02Hear that?
00:06:03Get lost.
00:06:07Actually, I meant you.
00:06:09No.
00:06:14So, are you walking out on your own?
00:06:16Or do I need Nate here to escort you and the HR manager out?
00:06:20No, there's clearly been a mistake here.
00:06:22This...
00:06:23Thank you, Nate.
00:06:27Here.
00:06:29Thank you, Mr. Moore.
00:06:30Mr. Moore.
00:06:32Uh...
00:06:33And you are...
00:06:35Van...
00:06:36Vanessa.
00:06:37Scott.
00:06:39S...
00:06:40Scott.
00:06:42Why does that name sound so familiar?
00:06:48It's a...
00:06:49Common name.
00:06:51A...
00:06:52Pretty common face, too.
00:06:53It's probably...
00:06:54Everyone's unique, Ms. Scott.
00:06:57I saw yourself short.
00:07:01No one's ever, um...
00:07:06Come to my office.
00:07:07One last interview.
00:07:09If I like what I hear,
00:07:11the job's yours.
00:07:14Come on.
00:07:24Relax.
00:07:30Okay.
00:07:32We're launching a new kids' line.
00:07:35I need your design to impress me.
00:07:39Can I ask you something?
00:07:41Why kids' clothes?
00:07:43New Wave's fashion has always been high-end.
00:07:47I'm gonna be a father.
00:07:48This is a gift to my child.
00:07:51He's married?
00:07:54I'd use primary colors, but I wanted to keep it...
00:08:11bright and clean and simple.
00:08:14Basic geometric shapes that would work for kids.
00:08:17You erased the best part.
00:08:19Why?
00:08:21It was a bit too close to that movie poster.
00:08:24You know, the one with the controversy about the kids.
00:08:27I didn't think you'd want to risk that being anywhere near this line.
00:08:31You would rather protect children than keep your best work.
00:08:39That's exactly what I needed.
00:08:41Hey, Nate!
00:08:43Wait, does this mean...?
00:08:44Nate?
00:08:47Nate!
00:08:49Yeah, boss.
00:08:51Get the paperwork ready.
00:08:53Miss Scott's my new assistant.
00:08:55Junior designer.
00:08:59Thank you, Mr. Moore.
00:09:01I will not let you down.
00:09:03Go with him.
00:09:04Weird.
00:09:05He's never that nice.
00:09:07To anyone.
00:09:08Follow me.
00:09:10Sorry.
00:09:11Hey, surrogate mother's first check-up today.
00:09:12Need your signatures on some stuff.
00:09:13I told you, I'm not meeting you.
00:09:14Shh!
00:09:15Relax.
00:09:16You'll be next door.
00:09:17She won't even know you're there, but you can see everything about the baby's development
00:09:20on the monitor.
00:09:21Fine.
00:09:22On my way.
00:09:23Hey Doc?
00:09:24Where is she?
00:09:25Over there.
00:09:26Who's the guy?
00:09:29Hey, Doc.
00:09:30Hey Doc?
00:09:31Where is she?
00:09:32Over there.
00:09:33Who's the guy?
00:09:34the baby's development on the monitor.
00:09:37Fine, on my way.
00:09:41Hey Doc, where is she?
00:09:44Over there.
00:09:48Who's the guy?
00:09:53Thank you for coming.
00:09:55Hey come on, I've known you since we were five.
00:09:57Where else would I be?
00:10:00Hey look, this whole surrogacy thing, it's...
00:10:04It's for Sophia, isn't it?
00:10:06Whatever it takes to get her better.
00:10:09You are a great sister, seriously.
00:10:20You didn't tell me she has a boyfriend.
00:10:23What? No.
00:10:24That's impossible.
00:10:25Our screening was clear.
00:10:26She's single.
00:10:28Never been with anyone.
00:10:30A virgin?
00:10:31Okay, then who's out there with her?
00:10:33This baby's my heir.
00:10:35I need to know it's mine.
00:10:37What are you thinking?
00:10:41I'm asking her myself.
00:10:42I'm asking her myself.
00:10:55It's the client.
00:10:58Hello?
00:11:01Who's the man with you?
00:11:02What?
00:11:03Who is this?
00:11:06The kid's father.
00:11:07Wait, you're...
00:11:09How did you know I wasn't alone?
00:11:11Boss.
00:11:12It's Mr. Anderson.
00:11:13Emergency meeting.
00:11:14Uh, yeah.
00:11:15Get Vanessa there.
00:11:16The baby's dad is weird.
00:11:17And this is...
00:11:18I'm not really sure how that's relevant to our arrangement.
00:11:20I'm sorry.
00:11:21I'm sorry.
00:11:22Hello?
00:11:23Boss need to.
00:11:24Client meeting.
00:11:25Now.
00:11:26Now?
00:11:27But I'm at...
00:11:28Sending you the address.
00:11:29I'm so sorry.
00:11:30I'm gonna have to reschedule this.
00:11:31An emergency came up.
00:11:32Okay.
00:11:33Van, I...
00:11:34Van, I...
00:12:04I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:12:18Mr. Anderson, my new assistant and designer, Miss Scott.
00:12:23She'll be handling our children line negotiations.
00:12:26Me?
00:12:27I believe you can handle it.
00:12:29Uh, Mr. Anderson.
00:12:33Women can't design.
00:12:36Your work is trash.
00:12:38How about we talk business?
00:12:40Just us...
00:12:41Men.
00:12:42Disliking my work is no excuse for disrespect.
00:12:46How about you come back when you're more...
00:12:51qualified?
00:12:52...
00:12:53...
00:12:54...
00:12:55...
00:12:56...
00:12:58...
00:12:59Hello.
00:13:00You are much prettier than your work.
00:13:02How about you come home with me tonight?
00:13:03Hello. You are much prettier than your work. How about you come home with me tonight?
00:13:17Apologize to her now.
00:13:22You defending this little bitch?
00:13:24Her name is Vanessa.
00:13:26I'm your biggest client.
00:13:27I can replace you tomorrow.
00:13:30A talent like Vanessa, that's right.
00:13:33You're gonna regret this.
00:13:53For saving me again.
00:13:56Boss, Anderson just...
00:14:00You want me to handle it?
00:14:01You know what to do.
00:14:05Office.
00:14:07Yeah, boss.
00:14:15Breaking news. Mogul Alan Anderson's fashion label has come under massive financial attack.
00:14:21You scared of me?
00:14:30All right. We're here.
00:14:35I should head inside.
00:14:36Should we go to the hospital boss for the results?
00:14:37Tomorrow.
00:14:39Tomorrow.
00:14:40Okay.
00:14:41Okay.
00:14:42Okay.
00:14:43We're here.
00:14:44I should head inside.
00:14:45Should we go to the hospital boss for the results?
00:14:46Tomorrow.
00:14:48Kevin, talk to my lawyer. I need a paternity test agreement.
00:14:54Your surrogate might not.
00:14:55Kevin, you know how much is riding on this child. If she has a boyfriend people might start questioning my heirs bloodline.
00:15:05I'll try to, but if...
00:15:06No trying. She signs her the deal's off.
00:15:08Get it together. He's married.
00:15:10Oh my God.
00:15:34Get it together. He's married.
00:15:45Miss Scott, we need you to come back tomorrow.
00:15:49Right, the checkup.
00:15:51There's also another agreement to sign.
00:15:53What agreement?
00:15:54Let's go over in person. See you tomorrow.
00:16:04I'm sorry again about yesterday's scheduling.
00:16:11Let's take a look.
00:16:24You see that right there? A little bud.
00:16:27Bud?
00:16:29Yeah, yeah, right here.
00:16:34That's my baby.
00:16:36Remember, it's not yours.
00:16:41Maybe not.
00:16:44But it's still precious.
00:16:47You guys, wait right here.
00:16:48I'll be right back with that supplemental agreement.
00:16:54Oh, hey.
00:16:55You okay, Ben?
00:16:57Yeah, just like a little dizzy.
00:17:00Oh my god.
00:17:02Hey, Ben.
00:17:03Ben.
00:17:06Alex, your surrogate just passed out.
00:17:08You need to get to the hospital ASAP.
00:17:12Your surrogate just passed out.
00:17:13You need to get to the hospital ASAP.
00:17:16Whatever, just keep me posted.
00:17:18Oh, and hey, get her to sign those papers when she comes to.
00:17:22Seriously?
00:17:23She's carrying your kid.
00:17:24Still not.
00:17:36Hello?
00:17:37Boss, where are you going?
00:17:49Thought you weren't coming.
00:17:50I just was in the area.
00:17:52Right, right.
00:17:54Come on, let's go check on your surrogate before they take her for tests.
00:17:57No, no, you go ahead.
00:17:58I'm gonna sit here.
00:18:08Wait, hold up.
00:18:09Why does she look so familiar?
00:18:13She looked like Vanessa.
00:18:14Oh, thank god.
00:18:28Thank god, hey.
00:18:29You had us worried sick.
00:18:32What happened?
00:18:34You collapsed.
00:18:36Hey, Van, your body is telling you to slow down.
00:18:39Because overtime and pregnancy don't mix.
00:18:43With the baby.
00:18:44The baby is okay.
00:18:47But look, this job.
00:18:49It's running you into the ground.
00:18:50You've got to take care of yourself.
00:18:53My boss doesn't know about the baby.
00:18:58Well, he needs to know.
00:19:01The doctor said that either you slow down or the baby could be at risk.
00:19:13I don't know about the baby.
00:19:15Hey, how's it looking?
00:19:17They're both going to be fine.
00:19:18It's just exhaustion.
00:19:19Can we still do the paternity test?
00:19:21Yeah, as long as she's past eight weeks.
00:19:24It's just a blood draw.
00:19:25Here's the updated paperwork.
00:19:31Oh, wait.
00:19:32The surrogate's name is Vanessa Scott.
00:19:37That's my new assistant's name.
00:19:38Probably just coincidence.
00:19:41Pretty common name.
00:19:42Maybe.
00:19:43I had to go check it out for myself.
00:19:44Which room?
00:19:45Right down there.
00:19:47But, hey, take it easy if her boyfriend's there.
00:19:49She needs rest, not drama.
00:19:55I'm sorry, can I help you?
00:20:11Hey, this is a private room, buddy.
00:20:14Where's Miss Scott?
00:20:16Who's asking?
00:20:17Miss Scott, where is she?
00:20:19Look, that's none of your business.
00:20:21Just checking on her, that's all.
00:20:23Right.
00:20:25Look, you don't know her and you being here is messing with your recovery.
00:20:28Oh, and you being here isn't?
00:20:31I have every right to be here.
00:20:34I see.
00:20:35Getting some quality time with the girlfriend?
00:20:40Get out.
00:20:42Get out!
00:20:49Hey, uh, did you find the bathroom okay?
00:20:51Yeah, yeah.
00:20:52Who was that leaving?
00:20:53I don't know.
00:20:54It was some weirdo in a fancy coat.
00:20:57He came in here acting all weird, asking if you were my girlfriend.
00:21:00Looks like Mr. Moore from behind.
00:21:03I'm sorry, who?
00:21:03Uh, my boss.
00:21:05Is that you, Mr. Moore?
00:21:17My boss.
00:21:19Yeah, yeah, look, that's him.
00:21:20Total weirdo.
00:21:23Okay.
00:21:24Yo, van.
00:21:26Come on, you need to rest.
00:21:27No, I'm good.
00:21:28You should go.
00:21:31Okay.
00:21:35Mr. Moore, if that's really you, does this mean you know I'm a surrogate?
00:21:39Kevin, did she sign the agreement?
00:21:42I don't think she's awake yet.
00:21:44Uh, all right, let's just do it when she's better.
00:21:47Why?
00:21:47It was just low blood sugar.
00:21:49She'll be fine.
00:22:03Ms. Scott.
00:22:04Good, you're up.
00:22:06Listen, I need to talk to you.
00:22:08You still at the hospital?
00:22:09What's going on?
00:22:11What the hell is my assistant doing here?
00:22:20And why is she going into my surrogate mother's room?
00:22:31Alex, I heard about this situation with your surrogate.
00:22:35You are literally across the world.
00:22:37How are you up in my business?
00:22:38You're my son.
00:22:40I may get my business to know.
00:22:42Listen to me.
00:22:43This woman is clearly unreliable.
00:22:46You should marry Jenny and be done with it.
00:22:53Scott, got some paperwork here.
00:22:56Client's requesting a paternity test.
00:23:00What?
00:23:00Why?
00:23:01He has concerns.
00:23:05Concerns?
00:23:08I've passed every test.
00:23:10This is just...
00:23:11Look, your kid's going to be the family heir.
00:23:15Client wants to be 100% sure about bloodlines.
00:23:18I need time to think.
00:23:22I need time to be 100% sure about bloodlines.
00:23:34Every damn time with her, air this, air that.
00:23:37Hell, I don't even know if it's mine.
00:23:39I need time to be 100% sure about bloodlines.
00:23:44Did she take off?
00:23:46Yeah, she didn't sign.
00:23:48She said she needs to think about it.
00:23:50Fine.
00:23:52She can explain it to the judge.
00:23:53Oh, you know, this is perfect.
00:24:10I got a mother obsessed with legacy.
00:24:17And a father who couldn't even stick around.
00:24:23You know?
00:24:24Boss, what'd you say?
00:24:26Why is nothing going right?
00:24:29I mean, even this.
00:24:33Having a child?
00:24:36Can't happen.
00:24:37There it can.
00:24:39I don't know.
00:24:47Okay, you can be on your phone on a different day.
00:24:48Van, hey, I'm at the bar right now, and the boss is completely wasted.
00:24:55Can you come?
00:24:56I would, but I got a client meeting in like 20 minutes.
00:24:59Okay, I'll be there soon.
00:25:03You don't need to lie to people, you know.
00:25:10Stay here.
00:25:11Van's coming.
00:25:11She's going to take you home, okay?
00:25:12You got a strong grip.
00:25:15Just stay here.
00:25:16Oh, yeah, yeah, she's cool.
00:25:18Oh, God.
00:25:27Mr. Moore?
00:25:30Van.
00:25:31Mr. Moore, are you all right?
00:25:33Van.
00:25:36Alex.
00:25:38Alex, call me Alex.
00:25:40Alex, all right.
00:25:41Why don't we get you home?
00:25:44Oh, Van.
00:25:48I think I'm starting to like you.
00:26:02What did you say?
00:26:05I...
00:26:07I think I'm starting to like you.
00:26:09What did you say?
00:26:12You know...
00:26:12I don't.
00:26:28Uh...
00:26:32No.
00:26:32Why don't we, um...
00:26:34Let's get you home.
00:26:35Should we get home?
00:26:36Should we get home?
00:26:37Yeah.
00:26:38Okay.
00:26:39Whatever you say, boss.
00:26:42All right.
00:26:43All right.
00:26:44He's in there.
00:26:45Thank you, man.
00:26:46Of course.
00:26:47No, no, don't go.
00:26:48No.
00:26:51You have to promise me something, okay?
00:26:55I just stopped drinking like this.
00:26:56If you want to talk, just tell me instead.
00:27:00Okay.
00:27:02I paid some woman to have my baby.
00:27:05But she's probably carrying her boyfriend's instead.
00:27:09And there's no way I can tell you any of that.
00:27:13This isn't good for you.
00:27:23I don't know if I can tell you what I can tell you.
00:27:47Van, thank god.
00:27:48You gotta get back here now.
00:27:49Your place...
00:27:50What happened?
00:27:50Your place is completely a mess.
00:27:52Just hurry, okay?
00:27:55We're gonna...
00:27:55I have to make a stop at my place first, okay?
00:27:58I'm coming with you.
00:27:59Yeah.
00:28:09I'm gonna go check this out first.
00:28:10You just wait here.
00:28:16Why am I so obsessed with keeping her safe all the time?
00:28:22I'm going to go check this out.
00:28:32Nononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononon.
00:28:35Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you're all right, I got you.
00:28:47You're all good.
00:28:50What happened?
00:28:52Stag collectors.
00:28:55My dad, when he died, he left all these bills, and I couldn't pay them all at once, so they
00:29:04just, they took everything.
00:29:07What about your mom?
00:29:10She died when I was six.
00:29:12I'm sorry, Dan.
00:29:15You seem so delicate, and I had no clue this was, who are these guys?
00:29:23Look, I am, I'm sorry, I don't, I appreciate your help, but I've got this handled.
00:29:32Okay, but what if they come back?
00:29:35Then I'll figure something out, I, I just need to find a place for my sister and I to
00:29:40stay when she comes home from the hospital.
00:29:47Stay with me.
00:29:49What?
00:29:50My place is like a fortress, all right, you'll be completely safe there.
00:29:55The one who's wife might?
00:29:56Listen, my place is massive, there's enough room for you and your sister both.
00:30:04All right, that's it.
00:30:06You're moving in tonight.
00:30:19Welcome.
00:30:20Welcome.
00:30:20Yeah, just make yourself at home.
00:30:27Can I put my luggage down here?
00:30:31You don't need to be so polite.
00:30:33All right, your room's down the hall, and mine's up.
00:30:40I mean, uh, I'll be close by if you need anything.
00:30:44Thank you, Alex.
00:30:46Uh, get some rest.
00:30:56I, I gotta shower.
00:30:58Sober up.
00:31:15What?
00:31:16What?
00:31:16What?
00:31:17What?
00:31:17Um.
00:31:21What?
00:31:22What?
00:31:23Easter
00:31:23What?
00:31:24What?
00:31:24That's weird. Not one picture with his wife?
00:31:31Hey, Van. Mind grabbing me my other shirt? It's in my wardrobe.
00:31:42Sure. His wife must be out.
00:31:54Where's all his wife's stuff? Why is it like no woman has ever lived here?
00:32:10Alex, I have your shirt. Here.
00:32:22Thank you. Can you help me with my back? I have a sore muscle. It's a little bit in pain.
00:32:32Sure. Thank you.
00:32:34Is that a no? A little lower.
00:32:50Is that a no? A little lower.
00:32:54There.
00:33:06I mean, you've already seen my abs, so it's a little more.
00:33:20Seriously, Alex.
00:33:34Is his wife back?
00:33:48It's his wife. I hope she doesn't get the wrong idea.
00:34:00Sorry, I can never remember the code.
00:34:04Oh, hi. Hi. I'm Alex's new assistant, Vanessa. Van.
00:34:12Charlotte. Nice to meet you.
00:34:14Keeping up your tradition of hiring your pretty faces? I see.
00:34:18Is she warning me?
00:34:20Hey, we're starving. Can you make some dinner right away?
00:34:26You just tell her to cook like that?
00:34:28I mean, that's what she's here for.
00:34:30Hey, can you, uh, make some fruit for Van too? She hasn't eaten all day.
00:34:34No, no, I'm fine. Really, I'm okay.
00:34:36Oh, Charlotte, peel the apples.
00:34:38Of course.
00:34:40You shouldn't speak to her like that.
00:34:42She's pregnant.
00:34:44Pregnant?
00:34:46You shouldn't speak to her like that. She's pregnant.
00:34:48Pregnant?
00:34:50What are you talking about?
00:34:52Oh, honey, I promise.
00:34:54That's not what's happening here.
00:34:56Something's off with them.
00:34:58It's like every comment needs something else.
00:35:04Okay, dinner's ready.
00:35:10Oh, thank you.
00:35:18Alright, dig in.
00:35:28Oh, hey, Van, you okay?
00:35:32It's fine. I think I'm just not very used to the smell of rosemary.
00:35:36Oh, please come join us.
00:35:44No, no, no. She'll eat after we finish.
00:35:48Okay, I can't stand this anymore. She's your wife, not your servant.
00:35:55My what?
00:35:57Charlotte's my housekeeper.
00:36:00Oh, your housekeeper.
00:36:06I'm sorry. I think it's just been a long day and I think I just need some rest.
00:36:18Oh, hey. If something's wrong, you can talk to me.
00:36:30Between the break-in and move-in here, I guess it's all hitting her at once.
00:36:38Charlotte, can you go check on her?
00:36:40Yeah.
00:36:44Man, these pregnancy hormones are no joke.
00:36:52I'm reading into every little thing.
00:37:00Then, um, it's just me.
00:37:02Alex had a knee surgery last year and this was the only thing that helped him to get comfortable.
00:37:08My help with your current situation.
00:37:13What?
00:37:16Oh, I don't need, uh...
00:37:20You almost threw up at the dinner twice.
00:37:22Are you pregnant, right?
00:37:26Does Alex know?
00:37:28He's going to be so happy.
00:37:30What's all this for?
00:37:33What's all this for?
00:37:37What's all this for?
00:37:39That is pregnancy!
00:37:41So, when are you to make it official?
00:37:47Is it true?
00:37:49He's so excited.
00:37:51Yes.
00:37:53Okay, when were you planning on telling me?
00:37:54You've even made me think I was falling for you.
00:38:03I wasn't trying to keep it from you.
00:38:06If I hadn't even walked by, were you even going to tell me?
00:38:15So, tell me.
00:38:17Who's the father?
00:38:20Should I tell him I'm a surrogate?
00:38:21I'm a surrogate.
00:38:32Boss is in a terrible mood today.
00:38:35Just be careful.
00:38:36You, wait outside.
00:38:51Anything else, Miss Scott?
00:38:55I already told you I wasn't trying to hide the pregnancy from you.
00:39:04I've heard your excuse.
00:39:06Why don't we talk about who the father is instead?
00:39:10You're under my roof.
00:39:12I should know who might come looking for you.
00:39:15I can't tell him I'm a surrogate.
00:39:18My ex.
00:39:21He disappeared when he found out I was pregnant.
00:39:30What's his name?
00:39:32I'll take care of him.
00:39:34Hey, a guy like that doesn't deserve you.
00:39:38You've had a good heart, Ben.
00:39:40I'm glad you think so.
00:39:42Boss.
00:39:44What is it?
00:39:46Boss.
00:39:48What is it?
00:39:50The Baby Clothing Expo.
00:39:51You're 20 minutes late.
00:39:52Right.
00:39:53Okay, bring the car up.
00:39:54You promised to bring a female executive?
00:39:55You're with me.
00:39:57Excuse me.
00:39:59Here for the new class?
00:40:00Class.
00:40:02Oh, no.
00:40:03No.
00:40:04No.
00:40:05No.
00:40:06No.
00:40:08No.
00:40:09No.
00:40:11No.
00:40:13No.
00:40:14No.
00:40:16No.
00:40:17No.
00:40:19No.
00:40:21No.
00:40:23No.
00:40:24No.
00:40:25Class.
00:40:26We're supposed to be at a children's clothing expo?
00:40:29No.
00:40:30You must be at the wrong place.
00:40:31Is this new pass here?
00:40:32Yes.
00:40:47Nate.
00:40:48Why am I at a new parents class instead of a children's clothing expo?
00:40:55They got the wrong address.
00:40:59Guys!
00:41:01Come on in, plenty of seats left.
00:41:03We're not here for the...
00:41:05Everyone's nervous at first, but these are the skills that you need to know.
00:41:08For newlyweds, skills to get going.
00:41:11I promise you.
00:41:13Come on, okay?
00:41:15We're here. Might as well learn something.
00:41:28They said this teacher's won awards and stuff.
00:41:31Hi! You guys look amazing!
00:41:33Exciting!
00:41:35Thank you!
00:41:37That's look amazing!
00:41:39So in love?
00:41:40Very!
00:41:41Let's get started.
00:41:43We're doing the supportive position for a birthing today.
00:41:47Moms, I want you to go in between Dad's legs.
00:41:50Backs against his chest.
00:41:52Dads, I want you to hold your wife's hands.
00:41:55This connection is everything.
00:41:57I'm going to show you really quick.
00:41:59So you're here. I want you to turn around, turn around.
00:42:02You're going to hold the hands.
00:42:03And then Moms, you're just going to kind of lift up a little bit.
00:42:07Yeah, and then just kind of open up there.
00:42:11I want you to slide in.
00:42:13I want you to hold her hands.
00:42:15Yep, perfect.
00:42:20I guess she must have misunderstood what's going on between us.
00:42:23Doesn't matter.
00:42:25Looking kind of nervous.
00:42:27Not much physical contact with you guys.
00:42:31Make it sound like you're some kind of expert.
00:42:36What are you doing?
00:42:38I'm an expert now, am I?
00:42:40How about you guys demonstrate for the class?
00:42:45See that Dads, that's how attentive you should be.
00:43:06I wish this moment could last forever.
00:43:16Look at those protective instincts.
00:43:18They're the perfect couple guys.
00:43:20That's all for today.
00:43:34Thank you guys so much for coming.
00:43:36Thank you so much.
00:43:38Wonderful.
00:43:39Absolutely. Let's stand up.
00:43:41Be careful.
00:43:43Watch your bellies.
00:43:51Guess we should leave.
00:43:53Might as well keep up with appearances.
00:43:55They did, that was certainly something else.
00:44:09You cold?
00:44:11Here.
00:44:12No, no, no, I'm fine.

01:12:34Clear!
01:12:37How'd you know where to find us?
01:12:45Jenny and that host were giving me weird vibes.
01:12:48He seemed a little too interested in that card you pulled.
01:12:52How is she, Doc?
01:12:56She and the baby are stable.
01:12:58However, I recommend that she take it easy for the next 48 hours.
01:13:02Here is something safe that can help with the cough.
01:13:05Come on.
01:13:14Get out.
01:13:16Alex!
01:13:17I just wanted to make sure our dear little van was okay.
01:13:20You know, I would hate to hear if she got seriously hurt.
01:13:24Fuck off!
01:13:25What is wrong with you?
01:13:27You know, my family practically owns half the city, and yet you continue to choose this broke secretary over me!
01:13:35Executive assistant.
01:13:36Alright?
01:13:37And unlike you, she doesn't need to wave daddy's money around to get attention.
01:13:41Or hire someone to certify her.
01:13:48That wasn't me.
01:13:50Uh, no.
01:13:51Your mother.
01:13:52Ask her!
01:13:53I know she's neck deep in this.
01:13:55And trust me, I'll get to her.
01:13:56But you, you're going straight to jail.
01:13:59No.
01:14:00No, please.
01:14:01Yeah, Nate!
01:14:02No.
01:14:03Alex, please don't.

01:14:09Truly.
01:14:18Hey.
01:14:21You're awake.
01:14:23I love you.
01:14:25The doctor said you're going to be alright.
01:14:32You just need some rest.
01:14:34Oh, no, no, no.
01:14:35The baby's going to be okay, too.
01:14:39Oh, God.
01:14:40What did I do?
01:14:51Mr. Moore, we need to move on the paternity test.
01:14:55I know.
01:14:582pm at the New Wave building.
01:15:00We need to discuss the paternity test.
01:15:09I already told them no.
01:15:10Why won't they let this go?
01:15:12And why do they meet at my office?
01:15:14Of all places.
01:15:17What's wrong?
01:15:18Ms. Scott, Sophia's heart rate's destabilizing.
01:15:19You need to get here.
01:15:20Now.
01:15:21Okay, okay.
01:15:22I'm at the hospital.
01:15:23I can be there soon.
01:15:25I'm sorry.
01:15:26Where are you going?
01:15:27Boss, Chris, you coming to meet the surrogate?
01:15:29Uh, you go instead.
01:15:30I can be there soon, I'm sorry.
01:15:32Where are you going?
01:15:34Plus, Christopher, you coming to be the surrogate?
01:15:37Uh, you go instead.
01:15:39I gotta go see what's up with hand.
01:15:46I'm here, I'm here.
01:15:47Is she okay?
01:15:49We've stabilized her for now,
01:15:50but we're gonna keep an eye on her vitals overnight.
01:15:52All right, thank you.
01:15:57Hey.
01:16:01Yeah.
01:16:02Thank you for coming.
01:16:03Of course, of course, I'm here.
01:16:06How's she doing?
01:16:07She's stable.
01:16:11I hate to ask, but...
01:16:13Go.
01:16:15I'll stay here with her.
01:16:23Thank you, thank you.
01:16:24Of course.
01:16:30Uh, what are you doing here?
01:16:34My sister just had surgery.
01:16:36I'm taking care of her.
01:16:38Is that my surrogate's boyfriend?
01:16:40What's he doing here?
01:16:48Boss, the surrogate hasn't shown up,
01:16:50but Kevin thinks he saw her at the hospital.
01:16:56Uh, mind if I go in?
01:16:58I'm going to go in.
01:17:05Van, this is the guy who barged in earlier.
01:17:07What are you doing here?
01:17:08Wait, wait, you two know each other?
01:17:10Hey, where's your girlfriend?
01:17:12Girlfriend?
01:17:13Dude, I don't know what your problem is,
01:17:14but I don't have a girlfriend.
01:17:18What exactly is your relationship with this guy?
01:17:21He's a friend.
01:17:22He's a close friend.
01:17:23Okay, uh, Van, you're just, you're just going to leave?
01:17:30I leave, I leave, I leave.
01:17:38Uh, the photo, the one of the surrogate?
01:17:40I need to know.
01:17:41It's her.
01:17:48Van, she's been the mother of my child a whole lot.
01:17:56So, that guy earlier, he's your boss?
01:18:02Yeah, yeah.
01:18:04Yeah.
01:18:05But you two seem to really hate each other.
01:18:07What's the story there?
01:18:09You don't remember?
01:18:11That's the guy who barged into this room after you collapsed.
01:18:22It's the surrogate client.
01:18:27Hello?
01:18:29Why'd you stand me up again?
01:18:32Wait, your voice?
01:18:35It sounds familiar.
01:18:37Answer my question.
01:18:40When my sister went into surgery,
01:18:41there was complications after.
01:18:42I, I had to come to...
01:18:45Meet me outside your sister's hospital room,
01:18:47in the lobby.
