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.
00:00:58Surrogacy.
00:01:00Five 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-dun!
00:01:14All you have to do is remember who you really belong with.
00:01:18That's for every lie you just told.
00:01:21Your fault! You really plan to get rid of it.
00:01:26Get up!
00:01:27Three years, three years I've loved him.
00:01:39Everyone tells me Ethan will never change, that a man like him only loves himself.
00:01:46But 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, and I'll give him all of me.
00:02:01We'll make a beautiful baby together, a family of our own.
00:02:18I'm so sorry.
00:02:25I'm so sorry.
00:02:34I'm so sorry.
00:02:35I'm so sorry.
00:02:36I'm so sorry.
00:02:38I'm so sorry.
00:02:46I'm so sorry.
00:02:47I'm so sorry.
00:02:48I'm so sorry.
00:02:50I'm so sorry.
00:02:59I'm so sorry.
00:03:01I'm so sorry.
00:03:03I'm so sorry.
00:03:12I'm so sorry.
00:03:13I'm so sorry.
00:03:14I'm so sorry.
00:03:16I'm so sorry.
00:03:24I'm so sorry.
00:03:25I'm so sorry.
00:03:26I'm so sorry.
00:03:35I'm so sorry.
00:03:35I'm so sorry.
00:03:36Lila.
00:03:36You're early.
00:03:39You're so sorry.
00:03:40Why so shocked, babe?
00:03:41You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:03:44Hmm?
00:03:45Come 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.
00:04:06Baby?
00:04:07Sweetheart.
00:04:08You wouldn't even put out after three years, and now you're thinking about playing mommy?
00:04:13Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs,
00:04:18these lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:04:23Screw you.
00:04:36I'm not going to let you take this from me, too.
00:04:42You know what?
00:04:43I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:46One appointment, one sperm donor, I can have a baby of my own.
00:04:59Six months to produce an heir, or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:05:05Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:05:08The surrogate candidates are all thorough with Ivory League, educated, impeccable health histories.
00:05:15I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:05:17I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:05:20Find me someone who knows your place, and will disappear after delivery.
00:05:24Oh.
00:05:45Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:06:11The interview?
00:06:13Yes, of course.
00:06:15Please, sit.
00:06:30Right, let's get started.
00:06:35Hey, education background.
00:06:39Excuse me?
00:06:40And I'm going to need a full medical history,
00:06:42specifically genetic disorders.
00:06:46Do you work out?
00:06:48I mean, you look acceptable.
00:06:54Hmm.
00:06:58Do you have any idea who I am?
00:07:00I'm just trying to be thorough.
00:07:04It's about creating a healthy baby after all.
00:07:08I are attractive men, so full of themselves.
00:07:13I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:07:16I need to know your reproductive history.
00:07:18So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:07:22Mr. Crofton, I can show her out.
00:07:26Thompson, leave us.
00:07:31What are you doing?
00:07:33Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:07:36Harvard Business School, MBA, top of class.
00:07:47No family history of genetic disorders.
00:07:50I work you out five times a week.
00:07:53As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:08:01Now Thompson is gone.
00:08:05Are you comfortable to share yours?
00:08:07Yes.
00:08:09Of course.
00:08:12I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:08:14No genetic disorders.
00:08:16And I get regular checkups.
00:08:19I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:08:23You really do seem like the perfect match.
00:08:27Good.
00:08:28Now, regarding compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
00:08:34Well, I was thinking around $800.
00:08:39$800.
00:08:41I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:08:47I know.
00:08:47I know it's not a lot of money, but considering the quality, I could help.
00:08:54I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:08:56Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:08:58Oh, all of this?
00:09:07Seriously?
00:09:09Take your time to review.
00:09:11But the key point is after birth, the child stays with me.
00:09:15No contact.
00:09:18You want to keep my baby?
00:09:20Are you insane?
00:09:21That's standard procedure for surrogacy arrangements.
00:09:30Surrogacy?
00:09:31Surrogacy.
00:09:32The position you're interviewing for.
00:09:34Interview?
00:09:35I'm hated by sperm.
00:09:38You came to what?
00:09:38Oh, I thought you were a donor.
00:09:41That's why I was asking you all the questions about the history and stuff.
00:09:46I thought you were here to be my surrogate.
00:09:49Right.
00:09:49Um, well, I guess I've made a mistake, so I'm just going to go.
00:09:55Wait.
00:09:55A million dollars for carrying my child.
00:10:04I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford, not somebody else's.
00:10:10Ah, you might need that.
00:10:12Clean this up.
00:10:22Bring in the next.
00:10:30Hello?
00:10:31Miss Reed, your father.
00:10:33You need to come now.
00:10:35Okay, I'm coming.
00:10:42Doctor, how is he?
00:10:58How is my father?
00:11:00The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:11:03Then do something.
00:11:05Save him.
00:11:06Is there a treatment you can do?
00:11:08Uh, there is a new treatment.
00:11:11Okay, then let's do it.
00:11:13But maybe it's quite expensive.
00:11:15How much?
00:11:16Around one million dollars.
00:11:18A million dollars?
00:11:20Yes.
00:11:21Can I get a loan or something?
00:11:25Actually, this is a new technology.
00:11:27And there is no loan policy.
00:11:28Sorry.
00:11:28Sorry.
00:11:41This is the last batch.
00:12:10Yes, sir.
00:12:11The blonde want to know about ring sizes.
00:12:15And brunette asked about moving in.
00:12:19And the redhead...
00:12:20All of them want the Crawford name.
00:12:24No one's qualified.
00:12:27She was refreshing.
00:12:30No pretense.
00:12:31No schemes.
00:12:33But she wasn't even here for surrogacy.
00:12:36Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job.
00:12:52Hello.
00:12:53I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:12:55I've been thinking.
00:13:06What have you been thinking?
00:13:09About yesterday, I may have been a bit hasty.
00:13:13You're reconsidering.
00:13:14Don't sound so smug about it.
00:13:16I have my reasons.
00:13:17As do I.
00:13:21I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:13:27What kind of modification?
00:13:29Joint custody.
00:13:30You wouldn't be just carrying the child.
00:13:32You'd be the baby's mother.
00:13:34Why would you agree to that?
00:13:35You're honest.
00:13:37Direct.
00:13:38No hidden agenda.
00:13:41Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:13:42So I'd really get to be a part of the baby's life?
00:13:45Yes.
00:13:46But understand this clearly.
00:13:48We'll be parents.
00:13:49Nothing more.
00:13:51No romantic entanglements.
00:13:53No emotional expectations.
00:13:57Don't flutter yourself.
00:14:00God, rich men and their egos.
00:14:06Father.
00:14:07The board is getting impatient.
00:14:09Have you considered the arrangements I suggested?
00:14:13I've already made my own plans.
00:14:15Adrian.
00:14:16If you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
00:14:22The Crawford name means something.
00:14:24I won't let it be tainted by...
00:14:27I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:14:29What?
00:14:30We'll discuss this at dinner.
00:14:33Did I just get promoted from surrogate to fiancé?
00:14:39Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just say, just parents, nothing more?
00:14:49The situation requires adaptation.
00:14:54Hmm.
00:14:54Is that CEO talk for I change my mind?
00:14:57If we need a convincing story, you'll be staying at my house during the pregnancy.
00:15:01And after the baby comes?
00:15:03We'll arrange for an amicable separation, continue parenting, and I'll, uh, arrange for any additional compensation for the complexity.
00:15:12The original amount is fine, but I am going to need it soon.
00:15:17Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:15:32I think my whole apartment could fit in this entryway.
00:15:54Well, well, well.
00:15:56Missed me so much, you tracked me down.
00:15:58Can't get over me, huh?
00:16:06Following me here like a lost puppy?
00:16:09Following you?
00:16:10Why would I...
00:16:10What are you doing here?
00:16:13Sweetheart, this is my family's house.
00:16:16I'm sure you know about it.
00:16:18Hmm.
00:16:18You never let me have sex with you.
00:16:21But look at you now, sneaking into my house.
00:16:24Finally realize what you're missing, baby.
00:16:27Get your hands off me, you creep.
00:16:30Playing hard to get used to be cute, but now?
00:16:33Come on, baby.
00:16:34We both know this is what you came here for.
00:16:38Uncle, what are you doing?
00:16:40Get your filthy hands off my fiancé.
00:16:44Your... your... what?
00:16:47Fiancé?
00:16:50Fiancé?
00:16:50How could she be your fiancé?
00:16:52She's just...
00:16:53Watch your mouth.
00:16:54Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:16:59This is crazy.
00:17:01You seriously don't know.
00:17:02I won't repeat myself.
00:17:04Stay away from my fiancé.
00:17:06One more word?
00:17:08You can kiss that trust fund.
00:17:10Goodbye.
00:17:10Goodbye.
00:17:10Goodbye.
00:17:23You alright?
00:17:28You alright?
00:17:29Yeah.
00:17:30So...
00:17:30Ethan.
00:17:32He's your nephew.
00:17:34Then he's your...
00:17:36Well, he was...
00:17:38He's kinda...
00:17:40He was my boyfriend.
00:17:41I mean ex-boyfriend.
00:17:43I mean, like, extremely ex-ex-boyfriend.
00:17:47I see.
00:17:50Thompson will bring your things in shortly.
00:17:53Sorry.
00:17:53Um, so, where am I staying?
00:18:02Here.
00:18:04What?
00:18:05Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple sleep in separate rooms.
00:18:10Oh, of course.
00:18:12Fake engagement.
00:18:13Real roommates.
00:18:13Don't worry.
00:18:18I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:18:19What are you doing?
00:18:47This is the line.
00:18:49Don't cross it.
00:18:51Ever.
00:18:52For sure.
00:18:54Good.
00:19:11My plan worked perfectly.
00:19:17Wait.
00:19:17How did I...
00:19:19Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:19:27Achoo!
00:19:29Sir, are you okay?
00:19:31Fine.
00:19:32Continue.
00:19:33Stay on your side.
00:19:43Stay on your side.
00:19:49Lila, wake up.
00:19:54Please, Lila.
00:19:55Lila, please.
00:19:56Control.
00:20:06D compra.
00:20:08Control.
00:20:08This is the new king.
00:20:10Control.
00:20:12Oh.
00:20:13Oh.
00:20:13Oh.
00:20:14Oh.
00:20:15Oh.
00:20:15Oh.
00:20:16Oh.
00:20:16Oh.
00:20:17Oh.
00:20:17Oh.
00:20:17Let's make me control.
00:20:34Sorry, didn't see you there.
00:20:40You're always in the way.
00:20:42Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancé.
00:20:49Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:50Catherine, please. We're family now, supposedly.
00:20:55Helen, tea, please.
00:20:57Yes, Mrs. Crawford.
00:21:01So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:21:06Through mutual friends.
00:21:08Oh, really? Mutual friends.
00:21:15Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:21:21Unless this is more of a business arrangement?
00:21:25I'm sorry?
00:21:26Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved.
00:21:33The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:21:38Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancé, your presence is required.
00:21:53I'd be honored.
00:21:55Hmm. Perfect.
00:21:56I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:22:03You can go now.
00:22:04Excuse me, Miss Ri. I need to clean.
00:22:18Of course. Let me just...
00:22:21Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:22:26How creative.
00:22:27Must be hot in your family.
00:22:28Watching you chase after rich men.
00:22:29Let me help you with this.
00:22:30Oh, my friends!
00:22:31How clumsy of me.
00:22:32You did that on purpose.
00:22:33Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:22:34You're just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:35Mr. Crawford!
00:22:36Oh, my friends!
00:22:37How clumsy of me.
00:22:38You did that on purpose.
00:22:39Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:22:40Mr. Crawford?
00:22:41You're just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:45Mr. Crawford, she just attacked me.
00:22:46I was trying to help with the...
00:22:47Get out.
00:22:48But I was just...
00:22:49One more word and you're fired.
00:22:52Get out.
00:22:53Mr. Crawford, she just attacked me.
00:23:00I was trying to help with the-
00:23:01Get out.
00:23:02But I was just-
00:23:03One more word and you're fired.
00:23:06Get out.
00:23:15What happened?
00:23:16Nothing.
00:23:17I need some space.
00:23:18I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:23:20Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:23:21I need some space.
00:23:23You take the bed.
00:23:27I'll take the sofa.
00:23:29I miss you so much, Daddy.
00:23:32Don't worry about me, okay?
00:23:34As long as we can get you better,
00:23:36I won't let their words get to me.
00:23:38I promise.
00:23:40Lila, what happened?
00:23:42What should I do?
00:23:43How's the happy couple?
00:23:57How's the happy couple?
00:23:57Oh, that's for weird.
00:24:10Just a small thing.
00:24:13Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:24:15It's okay.
00:24:16I'm here.
00:24:18You're safe.
00:24:21Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:23What should I do?
00:24:23I'm here.
00:24:24I'm here.
00:24:24I'm here.
00:24:25I'm here.
00:24:25I'm here.
00:24:25I'm here.
00:24:26I'm here.
00:24:26I'm here.
00:24:27I'm here.
00:24:27I'm here.
00:24:28I'm here.
00:24:28I'm here.
00:24:29I'm here.
00:24:29I'm here.
00:24:30I'm here.
00:24:30I'm here.
00:24:31I'm here.
00:24:31I'm here.
00:24:32I'm here.
00:24:32I'm here.
00:24:33I'm here.
00:24:33I'm here.
00:24:34I'm here.
00:24:34I'm here.
00:24:35I'm here.
00:24:36I'm here.
00:24:37I'm here.
00:24:38I'm here.

00:24:40I'm here.
00:24:41I'm here.
00:24:42I'm here.
00:24:43I'm here.
00:24:44I'm here.
00:24:45I'm here.
00:24:46Focus. This is just a simple medical procedure.
00:25:12Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:25:16Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:25:22Um, yeah, I'm fine. I just need some assistance.
00:25:27Oh, do you need my help?
00:25:29No, I didn't mean...
00:25:31Are you sure? Honestly, it's fine. I can come in if you need me to.
00:25:36Come in.
00:25:36So, you want to help?
00:25:48Of course. What do you need me to?
00:25:50Oh, you're...
00:25:56Oh, you're...
00:25:58I'm so sorry. I didn't... I didn't realize.
00:26:00I'm just gonna just go somewhere.
00:26:04I just need you somewhere very far.
00:26:06Ah!
00:26:07Well, that was helpful.
00:26:11Are you okay?
00:26:19Yeah. Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shocks would hurt, but it's...
00:26:23It's causing you pain.
00:26:24Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable.
00:26:27But I mean, it will pass.
00:26:30Oh.
00:26:30Here.
00:26:33Oh, okay.
00:26:34Thanks.
00:26:52Well, the hormone shocks were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically a work-related issue.
00:26:57And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:04Purely professional care.
00:27:34Purely professional, huh?
00:27:50Adrian.
00:27:54Um, about this weekend...
00:27:55I'm sorry, there's an emergency in Atlanta.
00:27:57The merge is falling apart.
00:27:59Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:28:03Your family invited me to dinner.
00:28:05Guess I'll handle it on my own.
00:28:07Well, I don't suppose we should expect punctuality from a person who's probably never had a proper watch in her life.
00:28:18Introduce him to the Lawson Harris, the senator's daughter.
00:28:23I don't understand why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:28:27What did you say she did, Ethan?
00:28:30Retail?
00:28:31Worse.
00:28:32A wannabe writer.
00:28:34She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:28:41Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:28:44I had the chef prepare her place setting and everything.
00:28:47She probably couldn't figure out which work to do.
00:28:49I apologize for the slight delay.
00:29:07My, my.
00:29:09Trying so hard to look the part.
00:29:12James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner.
00:29:16I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:29:20And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breeding.
00:29:24Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:29:30Oh, darling.
00:29:32A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:29:35How quaint.
00:29:38At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian's socks.
00:29:42I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable.
00:29:50Integrity.
00:29:51Integrity.
00:29:52Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:29:58How much, how much will it take you to disappear?
00:30:03Name your price.
00:30:04The difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford, is that I don't think that everything comes with a price tag.
00:30:14Excuse me.
00:30:23Stay calm.
00:30:27You can do this.
00:30:29Getting all dressed up for me, baby.
00:30:43What's the rush?
00:30:45We're all family here.
00:30:47Well, almost family.
00:30:49Don't touch me.
00:30:51You used to like it when I touched you.
00:30:54Remember how shy you were?
00:30:56Always saying no.
00:30:58Hands off me, bastard!
00:31:00Careful, now.
00:31:02One scream from you, and everyone at dinner is going to know what kind of girl you really are.
00:31:08Now, where were we?
00:31:11Ow!
00:31:18Everything all right, dear?
00:31:20You look flushed.
00:31:22So, as I was saying about the listeners...
00:31:26Stop it!
00:31:30Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:31:32I just...
00:31:33Stop it!
00:31:36Enough!
00:31:37No class?
00:31:39No manners?
00:31:40I don't know how you seduced my son, but someone like you could never deserve a place in this family!
00:31:48I...
00:31:48I'm the one who pursued her.
00:31:56Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:32:01Adrian.
00:32:02If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:32:05You want to know how we met?
00:32:07She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:32:09Papers flying, coffee spilled.
00:32:11Unlike some people, she didn't care about my name or my money.
00:32:17She, uh, refused me several times.
00:32:20Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:32:23First woman who dared stand out to me.
00:32:25And that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:32:27I...
00:32:28Sir, two things.
00:32:33Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner, and your jet is ready.
00:32:37We can go now.
00:32:43Cancel it, Lance.
00:32:44What's the merger?
00:32:47Yes, sir.
00:32:50Funny that last week's family's dinners were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:32:55Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:33:08Too bad it's either a complete lie, or she's been playing us both.
00:33:14What are you talking about?
00:33:16We've been dating for three years.
00:33:20I have pictures of us together.
00:33:25What?
00:33:27She probably planned this from the start.
00:33:29Dating me to get close to the family, then setting her sights higher.
00:33:34You manipulative little troll.
00:33:36Face it, Uncle.
00:33:37You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:42Face it, Uncle.
00:33:44You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:51That's for every lie you just told.
00:33:55Adrian, how dare you hit my son?
00:33:59Where do you think you're going?
00:34:01We are not the finish here yet.
00:34:02Yes, we are.
00:34:08I'm sorry.
00:34:09I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:34:11Thank you for coming back, and for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:34:21Your hands, what happened?
00:34:22As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:41I expect you to use them.
00:34:43I didn't want to presume.
00:34:45You're a Crawford now.
00:34:46Dr. Anderson?
00:34:58Mr. Crawford, the embryos are ready, so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:35:04I see.
00:35:08What is it?
00:35:09Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:11I've been thinking.
00:35:14Perhaps we should approach this matter in a more natural manner.
00:35:20Between the husband and wife.
00:35:23What are your thoughts?
00:35:29I think that we should go to bed.
00:35:32We have a really big day tomorrow.
00:35:35So, I mean, goodnight.
00:35:39You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit.
00:35:49Focus on the procedure.
00:35:53Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:36:01There.
00:36:03See that white spot?
00:36:04That's our baby.
00:36:13You know, I can walk.
00:36:15Doctor's orders?
00:36:16You seem more nervous than I do.
00:36:23I'm merely following medical procedure.
00:36:34Look at her.
00:36:36She's acting like a princess.
00:36:40She was probably a waitress last week.
00:36:44Now she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:37:00Oh.
00:37:00Oh.
00:37:00Oh.
00:37:01Oh.
00:37:01Oh.
00:37:01Oh.
00:37:01Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:03Oh.
00:37:04Oh.
00:37:17Oh.
00:37:22Hey, Anna.
00:37:23Not quite.
00:37:25Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:37:26Let go of me.
00:37:28Come on.
00:37:29I used to love being in my arms.
00:37:32Remember how we would spend hours,
00:37:33at the cafe, you would lean into me
00:37:36while reading your favorite book?
00:37:38Did she?
00:37:41Adrian!
00:37:42I was just getting food, I swear.
00:37:48Get out!
00:37:53My stomach.
00:37:55Lila, what's wrong?
00:37:56My stomach, I think that there's something wrong.
00:37:59If anything, anything happens to my fiancé or child,
00:38:03I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:38:05And you, what you want, you will never have.
00:38:11Never.
00:38:17Child.
00:38:18Three years, she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:38:22In a few weeks, with my uncle,
00:38:24and she's carrying his child.
00:38:26You want the perfect family?
00:38:29Well, it's not gonna happen.
00:38:33Thompson, clear my schedule.
00:38:45Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:47Sir, what happened?
00:38:49Do you need my help?
00:38:50You can't help on this one.
00:38:51Just do what I say.
00:38:52You and Ethan, you've never really gotten along, have you?
00:39:01Why is that?
00:39:02You seem very concerned about him.
00:39:11I just...
00:39:12Just get some rest.
00:39:14It's been a rough day for you.
00:39:15Adrian,
00:39:16why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:39:19No reason.
00:39:21I just know you're not like that.
00:39:23Thanks.
00:39:25Get some rest.
00:39:26Do whatever makes you comfortable.
00:39:28Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:39:30Anything I want?
00:39:32Are you sure about that?
00:39:33What the...
00:39:48What are you doing?
00:40:03This isn't nutritious.
00:40:05The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:07The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:09Yeah.
00:40:10And chips and ice cream.
00:40:13You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you?
00:40:17I've been researching optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:40:20See?
00:40:21Week by week guidelines.
00:40:23Okay, okay, okay.
00:40:24How about a compromise?
00:40:26One treat per day.
00:40:28Half a treat.
00:40:30Three quarters.
00:40:31Three quarters.
00:40:31Congratulations.
00:40:55The fetus is developing perfectly.
00:40:58Really?
00:41:00Everything looks wonderful.
00:41:02Now that we're in the stable period,
00:41:04I would recommend you starting some prenatal exercise.
00:41:08What kind of exercise?
00:41:12Now, hold her from behind in the maternal pose.
00:41:23Maybe we should skip this part.
00:41:25Good training.
00:41:26Let's do it properly.
00:41:27Guide her arms up.
00:41:29Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:41:58Maybe we should continue this at home.
00:42:01Yeah.
00:42:02Please.
00:42:02Please.
00:42:02The Charity Gala isn't a test.
00:42:07The Charity Gala isn't a test.
00:42:24Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:42:27You look perfect.
00:42:33You look perfect.
00:42:46Just be yourself.
00:42:51Then...
00:42:56Then...
00:42:56This...
00:42:58This is not me.
00:43:01It's been too long.
00:43:26You look exactly the same.
00:43:31And you must be the fiancée.
00:43:42I'm so pleased Adrienne has found someone after all these years.
00:43:46That's really kind, but I'm sorry.
00:43:49Who are you?
00:43:52I'm just someone who cares about Adrienne's happiness.
00:43:55More than anyone else.
00:43:56Oh, my God.
00:44:05You two are finally back together.
00:44:08Everyone, look who's here.
00:44:10The golden couple.
00:44:11I heard Adrienne Colford was engaged.
00:44:16I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:44:18When is the wedding?
00:44:18Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancée, Lala Reid.
00:44:33We're expecting our first child, and of course, you're all welcome to the wedding.
00:44:38She's pregnant?
00:44:39Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:44:42I just assumed congratulations for you both.
00:44:50Adrienne Crawford and a complete unknown?
00:44:52How did you manage that?
00:44:54Adrienne chose to over Vivian.
00:44:55Is he crazy?
00:44:56Oh, Benji, how have you been?
00:45:00Great.
00:45:01Let's go, pal.
00:45:01They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:45:11Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:45:19Gentlemen!
00:45:20What are you all talking about?
00:45:27They do look like the perfect couple.
00:45:42Drinking?
00:45:43I thought you were pregnant.
00:45:45None of your business.
00:45:50You know how Adrienne is.
00:45:52Always has to win.
00:45:54Especially against me.
00:45:56He hates when I take things from him.
00:45:57What are you talking about?
00:46:06Perfect couple, right?
00:46:09Until...
00:46:11Dun-dun-dun...
00:46:13Vivian fell madly in love with me.
00:46:16Leaving dear Uncle heartbroken.
00:46:20Since then,
00:46:21whatever I want,
00:46:23he has to take.
00:46:24Whatever I have,
00:46:27he has to win.
00:46:28Like you.
00:46:31What you want,
00:46:33you never have.
00:46:35Never.
00:46:36You and Ethan,
00:46:37you've never really
00:46:38gone along, have you?
00:46:41You don't get it.
00:46:43Stop being naive.
00:46:45You're just his tool for revenge.
00:46:47I'm just his tool for revenge?
00:47:11What do you think you're doing?
00:47:13You are pregnant.
00:47:14Why are you drinking?
00:47:16Oh, now you care.
00:47:20It's soda.
00:47:21I know what I'm doing.
00:47:22What happened back there?
00:47:39Talk to me.
00:47:41Mila,
00:47:42I am worried.
00:47:44So you talk to Ethan,
00:47:45but not me.
00:47:45Oh, you do care so much
00:47:49about your nephew,
00:47:51don't you?
00:48:06Mila,
00:48:06open the door.
00:48:10Please.
00:48:11Please.
00:48:11Please.
00:48:15The eggs are still warm.
00:48:43The eggs are still warm.
00:48:45I apologize about last night.
00:48:47I was just worried about you.
00:48:50Worried about me
00:48:51or worried about the baby?
00:48:57What do you mean?
00:48:58Is this why you're being
00:49:00so nice to me?
00:49:02Making me breakfast,
00:49:03being all protective.
00:49:05It's just for the baby?
00:49:09Mila,
00:49:09you've been so strange
00:49:11since yesterday.
00:49:12Why?
00:49:12Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:49:21Yes.
00:49:28And then she got with Ethan?
00:49:33Yes.
00:49:35Okay, so,
00:49:36so I'm just...
00:49:37Vivian and I were...
00:49:38Sir,
00:49:44the Singapore Merchant
00:49:45is falling apart.
00:49:46We need to immediately.
00:49:47I'm in the middle of something.
00:49:49The board is threatening
00:49:50to pull out.
00:49:52I'll be there.
00:49:59We need to finish this conversation
00:50:00as soon as I get back.
00:50:01Of course.
00:50:03Business first.
00:50:04Vyla.
00:50:10Just go.
00:50:22Sir,
00:50:23there have been complications.
00:50:25Explain.
00:50:25During her absence,
00:50:27Mr. Ethan has been meeting
00:50:29with board members,
00:50:30suggesting her sudden
00:50:31marriage plans
00:50:32indicate
00:50:33abstable
00:50:34decision-making.
00:50:36Several executors
00:50:37are questioning
00:50:38if someone
00:50:38so personally
00:50:40distracted
00:50:40should
00:50:42inherit the company.
00:50:43Mr. Crawford,
00:51:02we've been discussing
00:51:02my personal life.
00:51:04Your sudden access
00:51:04has let me be very
00:51:06clear.
00:51:09This company took
00:51:14a 40% profit loss
00:51:15before I took over.
00:51:18Within three years,
00:51:19I tripled our market share.
00:51:21Every major merger,
00:51:22every successful acquisition,
00:51:24every stock surge,
00:51:25my execution,
00:51:27my strategies.
00:51:29So yes,
00:51:30I am getting married.
00:51:32And yes,
00:51:33I took some time off.
00:51:34And no,
00:51:35not a single person
00:51:37in this room
00:51:38has the right
00:51:38to question
00:51:39my commitment
00:51:40or my capability.
00:51:42Because without me,
00:51:44there wouldn't be
00:51:45a company
00:51:46left to inherit.
00:51:48Now,
00:51:50shall we discuss
00:51:53the merger?
00:51:53Oh,
00:52:10what do you think
00:52:13are true?
00:52:17What do you think
00:52:17is the secret
00:52:18of which
00:52:19is the secret
00:52:20of the new
00:52:22Adrian! What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:52:40I was doing my job.
00:52:41Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:52:46Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:52:52You leave Violet out of this.
00:52:54You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:52:57Yeah, run along. Adolfs are talking business now.
00:53:01We just need to bore him for a moment, dear. Business matters. You wouldn't understand.
00:53:13That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:53:22She's nothing but a broodmare. After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:53:31Adrian needs someone who understands this world. Someone like me.
00:53:35Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow. Non-negotiable. She will follow you every day, just like before. And your little pet project can stay home and gestate. That's all she's good for.
00:53:52Get out! Both of you!
00:53:56How dare you!
00:53:57If you dare mention my wife's name again. I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before either of you get to touch it.
00:54:04Adrian! Be reasonable!
00:54:06She is worth a thousand of you.
00:54:08Tomorrow. 9am. Vivian starts. No discussion.
00:54:15Is that all?
00:54:17Yes, for now. But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:21Me again?
00:54:22Yeah.
00:54:23You.
00:54:24You.
00:54:25Love.
00:54:26You.
00:54:27Love.
00:54:28You.
00:54:30Love.
00:54:31You.
00:54:32Love.
00:54:33You.
00:54:34Love.
00:54:35You...
00:54:37You...
00:54:38You...
00:54:39You...
00:54:57Stop it.
00:54:58Stop checking.
00:55:01This is ridiculous!
00:55:03I was independent before.
00:55:06I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep.
00:55:13No!
00:55:14I'm not gonna be that girl.
00:55:20I can make my own meals.
00:55:22I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:55:28I'm approved, Mara.
00:55:34Way to get back at Ethan.
00:55:40Philo!
00:55:41I'm fine!
00:55:43You're not fine! Hospital! Now!
00:55:45You don't know!
00:55:46I'm fine!
00:56:01Thanks.
00:56:02I know we've had our differences but I really appreciated you today.
00:56:08You know...
00:56:10You used to look at me like that.
00:56:13All sweet.
00:56:14Sincere.
00:56:15Don't.
00:56:17Why not?
00:56:18Is there really no chance for us?
00:56:20Ethan!
00:56:21Why not?
00:56:23Why not?
00:56:24He's just using you.
00:56:26You're his revenge against me.
00:56:28A tool.
00:56:30And you deserve better than that.
00:56:33Adrian!
00:56:34Stop!
00:56:36What are you doing?
00:56:37Protecting you.
00:56:38From what?
00:56:39He's helping.
00:56:40He brought me here.
00:56:41My hand was bleeding.
00:56:42So now you're defending him?
00:56:43No, I'm defending the truth.
00:56:45Sometimes...
00:56:47I guess people surprise you.
00:56:49I see.
00:56:52Adrian...
00:56:54I'll call the doctor to come.
00:56:59I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OBGYN down immediately.
00:57:04Sir, it's just the one call.
00:57:06I want a full prenatal check-up.
00:57:08I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson, he's gonna be down here in 10 minutes.
00:57:12Always so controlled.
00:57:14Aren't you, Uncle?
00:57:16Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:57:21Remember our beach dates?
00:57:25How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:57:32Thompson, bring in the catering.
00:57:34The Michelin star one.
00:57:35Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:57:39Oh, well done.
00:57:40No sauce.
00:57:42I don't think that I did say...
00:57:43How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:57:47Pride and Prejudice.
00:57:48BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:57:51She likes to watch it when she's feeling stressed.
00:57:53Which is why I upgraded our home theater system.
00:57:56To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:58:00You did what?
00:58:01Using money to get to her heart.
00:58:06Huh, Uncle.
00:58:12The Alzheimer's Wing is fully renovated.
00:58:14Named after Lila's grandmother.
00:58:16As she mentioned.
00:58:18Oh, it's fully funded.
00:58:20Anonymous donor.
00:58:21He may be able to offer you money, but you're gonna miss this.
00:58:30Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:58:45Just my mom.
00:58:46I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins.
00:58:47They should arrive shortly.
00:58:48They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:58:49Wow.
00:58:50He remembered all that about me.
00:58:51I remember everything about you.
00:58:52Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:58:55Guys, she's tired.
00:58:56We should leave, let her rest.
00:59:15Is this just another question.
00:59:17Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:59:25Or does he actually care?
00:59:44Yes, father?
00:59:45Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:59:47Overworked, they say, from cleaning up your company's mess.
00:59:52I have meetings.
00:59:53Cancel them!
00:59:54Go to visit her right now.
00:59:57Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you,
01:00:01or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
01:00:05Oh, you came.
01:00:17Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
01:00:27I'm still so cold.
01:00:31Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was unwell?
01:00:35That was a long time ago.
01:00:38We were really great together, Adrian.
01:00:40We could be together again.
01:00:42I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
01:00:45What we had, I never took it as seriously as you pretended to.
01:00:50But Lila?
01:00:52She's different.
01:00:53She's real.
01:00:54Pregnant gold digger is real?
01:00:56Pregnant gold digger is real?
01:00:57Please.
01:01:02I guess some things never change.
01:01:07Watch your words.
01:01:14Stay away from my wife.
01:01:26My little girl.
01:01:27Daddy.
01:01:31Your hand.
01:01:32It's nothing.
01:01:35I need to tell you something.
01:01:37I'm gonna be a mother.
01:01:40Is it that Ethan boys?
01:01:41No.
01:01:42No.
01:01:43Then who?
01:01:44It doesn't matter.
01:01:45But what does matter is that this is my baby.
01:01:49And I'm gonna love them so much.
01:01:52With all the love that you gave me.
01:01:56Baby.
01:01:58I'm so sorry.
01:02:00I'm sorry I couldn't, couldn't give you better.
01:02:04If only I were healthy, if I could work.
01:02:07Daddy don't.
01:02:10But the hospital bills, what are you getting money for?
01:02:14Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:02:16No, no it's not like that.
01:02:19Did someone take advantage of you?
01:02:21My little girl pregnant all alone?
01:02:24She's not alone.
01:02:25She's not alone.
01:02:29Hi Mr. Reid.
01:02:30I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:02:35I'm the father of her child.
01:02:38Adriana.
01:02:39I'm not just the father.
01:02:40I'm the man who's gonna spend the rest of his life making sure your daughter and our child get everything they deserve.
01:02:46Pretty words from a rich man.
01:02:49Not words.
01:02:50Facts.
01:02:51I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:02:54Full treatment plan, best specialists.
01:02:57Adrian.
01:02:59And I promise you this.
01:03:01Every morning, she's gonna wake up knowing that she is cherished.
01:03:05Every decision I make, every step I take will be to ensure her happiness.
01:03:10You really mean that, don't you?
01:03:12Yes sir, I do.
01:03:13Well, maybe I can stop worrying now.
01:03:28Thank you for what you said in there.
01:03:32I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:03:34No, no, no, no.
01:03:35I wasn't just doing anything.
01:03:37Every word I said in there is true.
01:03:40Adrian.
01:03:43Laila, I need to tell you something.
01:03:49I've been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
01:03:55Yes, we had a contract, but...
01:03:58I realized...
01:04:00You've become everything to me.
01:04:02You're not my surrogate.
01:04:05You're not my convenient fiance.
01:04:10You're my partner.
01:04:12If you have me.
01:04:16But what about Ethan and Vivian?
01:04:19What about them?
01:04:23Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan?
01:04:26Revenge?
01:04:28I never loved Vivian.
01:04:30And Ethan, he's not worth a second thought.
01:04:32Really?
01:04:34Then who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:04:39That was...
01:04:45I was jealous, okay?
01:04:48The thought of you with him.
01:04:49I am.
01:04:50Wow.
01:04:51The great Mr. Crawford.
01:04:53Jealous.
01:04:54Don't mention that.
01:04:55I have a reputation to maintain.
01:04:57Hmm.
01:04:58I'm not letting you go.
01:04:59Not ever.
01:05:00I'm not letting you go.
01:05:01Not ever.
01:05:02I'm not letting you go.
01:05:03I'm not letting you go.
01:05:04I'm not letting you go.
01:05:05Not ever.
01:05:07I'm not letting you go.

01:15:01doctor
01:15:03dr anderson
01:15:04let's talk about
01:15:09Dr. Anderson?
01:15:22Let's talk about Adrian Crawford's arrangement.
01:15:33Was it a surrogacy contract?
01:15:39Mr. Harrington, Dr. Patient Confidentiality.
01:15:45I hear that the new hospital complex is looking for department heads.
01:15:52Wouldn't it be a shame if your name was mysteriously removed from the list?
01:16:02Now, about those hospital records...
01:16:09Surrogacy... surrogacy... five generations of Crawford dignity destroyed by...
01:16:15tabloid gossip.
01:16:31I knew that girl was hiding something.
01:16:35Did you?
01:16:36Did you really pay some nobody to carry your heir?
01:16:40Tell me it isn't true.
01:16:57You!
01:17:03It's your doing!
01:17:05I...
01:17:07Adrian!
01:17:08I need to discuss something with you.
01:17:12Privately.
01:17:14Adrian, I can make all of this disappear.
01:17:22All you have to do is remember who you really belong with.
01:17:26Who I belong with.
01:17:27We were good together.
01:17:28We can't be again.
01:17:29Give me the position I deserve.
01:17:32As Mrs. Crawford by your side.
01:17:35I do need your help.
01:17:38Please, never show up again.
01:17:58I won't let them hurt you.
01:18:00It's not me I'm worried about.
01:18:02If they exposed the truth about our arrangement, you could lose everything.
01:18:08Nothing's more important than you and our child.
01:18:11This emergency family meeting will come to order.
01:18:37I have proof, Ms. Reed is not Adrienne's loving bride-to-be, she's just a surrogate, paid
01:18:47to carry the Crawford heir.
01:18:53I have proof too, medical records from Crawford.
01:19:10.
01:19:14.
01:19:22.
01:19:26Underwent
01:19:30Fertility
01:19:48Fertility
01:19:49Treatment
01:19:56Fertility
01:20:11But
01:20:25Diverse
01:20:26But Lila, she's the woman I chose to be the mother of my child, and I won't let anyone here slander her.
01:20:34You want this arrangement? Fine.
01:20:38But then, it costs you everything.
01:20:50Resign from the company, give up your inheritance.
01:20:54The child can see in the family, of course.
01:20:58But the mother, well, her services won't be required after delivery.
01:21:09Yes, I did the IVF treatment.
01:21:12But I never, never saw this baby as a business transaction.
01:21:17You know what, you can say whatever you want about me, but don't you dare question my love for this child.
01:21:29Enough!
01:21:33Enough!
01:21:35Enough!
01:21:37Enough!
01:21:44Enough!
01:21:48I'm willing to give up everything, the company, the inheritance, all of it.
01:22:18But I won't give up her, she's my wife, the only one that I will ever want.
01:22:28We're getting married, properly, publicly.
01:22:33Fine, you want to throw away everything for this, for this woman.
01:22:47Then, you will get nothing from this family.
01:22:51Nothing!
01:22:53Sign it, renounce your inheritance, all of it.
01:22:59No, no, no, no, Adrian, stop.
01:23:03Not worth losing everything for.
01:23:05You're worth everything.
01:23:07The company, the assets, I built them once.
01:23:13I can build them again.
01:23:15But you, you and our child, you're our real future.
01:23:25It's still time to think it over, son.
01:23:35Let's go.
01:23:37Thanks.
01:23:38You've been at this for hours.
01:23:47I just got to finish this last chapter.
01:24:08I'll get you some food.
01:24:15What do you mean you're cancelling the contract?
01:24:21We've worked together for ten years!
01:24:25No, no, no, no.
01:24:27Don't call Adrian.
01:24:29Hello?
01:24:30Hello?
01:24:31Hello?
01:24:32The Singapore merger just collapsed.
01:24:34They say they'll only work with Adrian.
01:24:36This is all your fault!
01:24:38You and your billion plan to get rid of her.
01:24:40My fault?
01:24:41You're the one who can't handle basic accounting!
01:24:43Enough!
01:24:44The board meeting starts in five minutes.
01:24:47Please tell me you have good news.
01:24:59Oh my god!
01:25:00This story sounds exactly like the powerful scandal.
01:25:03Wait, is this about the Adrian Crawford?
01:25:09The billionaire CEO giving up everything for love.
01:25:12I'm crying.
01:25:14Is everything okay?
01:25:17I think I just went viral.
01:25:20I figured out stories about us.
01:25:23Look!
01:25:24Should I be concerned about what else you've revealed about me?
01:25:28Have you seen the comments?
01:25:45They're calling us heartless villains!
01:25:47Can't believe they're trying to suffer from true love businesses.
01:25:53Crawford Industries lost my business.
01:25:55Team Adrian, all the way.
01:25:57Yes.
01:25:58Penguin Publishing.
01:25:59Sorry, I actually have Random House on the other line, so I'm going to have to...
01:26:04The movie rights?
01:26:06Sorry, I'm going to have to call you right back.
01:26:10Okay, thank you.
01:26:11The movie rights!
01:26:12What?
01:26:13Oh my god.
01:26:14My wife is so popular now.
01:26:15I know.
01:26:16Your father?
01:26:17Son, the board wants you back.
01:26:31Take your position.
01:26:32Your inheritance.
01:26:33I'll have to ask my wife.
01:26:34What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:26:36First order of business.
01:26:37Starting without me.
01:26:38Perfect timing.
01:26:39I'm announcing your termination.
01:26:40You can't fire me.
01:26:41I'm a shareholder and a senior executive.
01:26:43The company crisis last month wasn't an accident.
01:27:00You and Ethan deliberately sabotaged our deals.
01:27:03You can't prove any great email, every call, every secret meeting without competitors.
01:27:10All documented.
01:27:12Lawsuit's already been filed.
01:27:14You and Ethan will be hearing from our lawyers.
01:27:26Oh my god.
01:27:28Uh, um.
01:27:29Um, mm, mm.
01:27:30Um.
01:27:31Mmm, mm, mm.
01:27:32Um, mm, mm, mm.
01:27:33Um, mm, mm, mm.
01:27:34Adrian?
01:27:35Uh.
01:27:36I, uh.
01:27:37I think my water just broke.
01:27:38Um, yeah.
01:27:39Come home.
01:27:40Um, um, uh.
01:27:41Mr. Crawford!
01:27:42They vote for new director!
01:27:43Um, um.
01:27:45Mr. Crawford!
01:27:46They vote for new director!
01:27:51For her, he'd drop everything.
01:27:53drop everything, including a multi-billion dollar card.
01:28:06Before we vote, there is something you should know. Adrian and Lila were
01:28:12illegally married two months ago, and they have my full blessing.
01:28:31Both my girls still awake?
01:28:35I'm just finishing.
