00:00:00Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:00:27Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:00:34What does that mean?
00:00:40It means...
00:00:43I only want to think about you.
00:00:48My little dove.
00:00:56Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:12So you're interested in becoming a surrogate?
00:01:16Well, I can't think of anything more fulfilling than bringing new life into this world.
00:01:21That's beautiful, sweetheart.
00:01:23Did you bring everything I asked for?
00:01:25Oh, yes. Medical records, blood work, it's all there.
00:01:29Everything seems to be in order. You're young, you're healthy. I can already think of several clients who would love you.
00:01:38Oh, that's great. It's a huge relief, honestly.
00:01:41Oh, but, honey, wait. Your medical records are missing the details of your previous birth.
00:01:47Previous birth?
00:01:49Could be a surrogate you need to have given birth before. It was in the literature we sent over.
00:01:53No, please.
00:01:55Perhaps you can consider egg donation.
00:01:57That doesn't pay enough.
00:01:58Oh, sweetheart. Egg donation is still a beautiful way to help bring new life into the world.
00:02:03Let me get you a pamphlet.
00:02:33Hey, cutie.
00:02:36Hey.
00:02:37Oh, no, don't get up.
00:02:39It's fine.
00:02:40How are you feeling?
00:02:42Well, I can't live like this much longer.
00:02:44Come on, don't say that.
00:02:45I'm supposed to start college in three months.
00:02:47And instead, I'm here, rotting, on a couch.
00:02:52You just have to take things easy until we...
00:02:54I know, I know.
00:02:55By the way, um, have you heard of someone named Gideon Maslow?
00:03:04Yeah, of course.
00:03:06He's the CEO of Maslow Enterprises.
00:03:08He's a billionaire.
00:03:10Why?
00:03:11Just saw the name somewhere.
00:03:18Who is this?
00:03:19Hi, this is Alice Gardner.
00:03:22The Parkside Surrogacy Agency referred me.
00:03:24Kay.
00:03:26I'm here to help you have a baby.
00:03:28They were supposed to send me a selection of women to choose from.
00:03:31The agency is confident that I'm the best choice.
00:03:35Well, I can't speak about this now.
00:03:37My house tomorrow.
00:03:38I'll send a car.
00:03:40Sure, I'll text you my...
00:03:54Can I help you?
00:04:12Hi, yes, I'm here to see Mr. Maslow. I have an appointment.
00:04:16Oh, you must be Miss Gardner. Sorry, I thought you were selling something.
00:04:21What would I be selling?
00:04:23I wasn't sure.
00:04:25Ill-fitting jackets.
00:04:27I don't know.
00:04:32Alice.
00:04:33I see you met my house manager, Helga.
00:04:40Follow me.
00:04:49Sign.
00:04:50What is it?
00:04:51It's a non-disclosure agreement.
00:04:52Guys usually offer to buy me a drink first.
00:04:53Anything that I say in this meeting will not be repeated.
00:04:54Or else I will unleash a legal firestorm on your ass, the likes of which you couldn't
00:05:11even imagine.
00:05:12Your lawyers are gonna need lawyers.
00:05:15And their lawyers are gonna need lawyers.
00:05:17Okay.
00:05:18Geez.
00:05:19I get it.
00:05:22Could've just asked me to pinky promise.
00:05:25I take those very seriously.
00:05:27Alright.
00:05:28Let's get down to business.
00:05:31I need a surrogate of sorts.
00:05:35Of sorts?
00:05:37My proposition is a bit unconventional.
00:05:40I need to hire someone to marry me and give birth to my heir.
00:05:48I'm sorry.
00:05:49What?
00:05:51Oh.
00:05:53You're one of those billionaires.
00:05:56Freaky psychopath.
00:05:57Well the marriage would be a temporary situation.
00:06:00After the birth of my son.
00:06:01Your son?
00:06:02Or whatever.
00:06:03After the birth of my heir.
00:06:05We'll divorce.
00:06:07You'll retain visitation rights.
00:06:08But the marriage has to appear real for at least one year.
00:06:12Why?
00:06:13If I want my heir to eventually take over the company.
00:06:17He has to maintain my family's pristine reputation.
00:06:20See the community would never accept a bastard.
00:06:24I don't get it.
00:06:25You have money and a nice face and a great body.
00:06:29And you are tall.
00:06:30Like how tall are you?
00:06:33Why can't you just find a real wife?
00:06:36I don't get out much.
00:06:38I enjoy the solitude.
00:06:40And enjoy paying people to have sex with you?
00:06:43Who said anything about sex?
00:06:45I know how husbands and wives make babies.
00:06:48No, we would take the medical approach.
00:06:50This is a business proposition.
00:06:52Not a romantic one.
00:06:54These days, marriages, they're all financial relationships anyways.
00:06:59We would just be settling ours up front.
00:07:04I'm sorry.
00:07:05I can't do this.
00:07:07I agreed to have a child for you.
00:07:09Not to have a child with you.
00:07:12Ten million dollars.
00:07:21Ten...
00:07:23Ten... million dollars?
00:07:25Ten million dollars.
00:07:27Okay.
00:07:29Okay, I'll do it.
00:07:31Well, you can take your time and think.
00:07:33No, it's alright. Where do I sign?
00:07:35Slow down, Alice.
00:07:36I still have to think about it.
00:07:38You're the first woman that I interviewed for the position.
00:07:39Well, look no further.
00:07:41You've found me, Mrs. Gideon Maslow.
00:07:46You really like the sound of all that money, don't you?
00:07:49No, I don't like it.
00:07:51I need it.
00:07:55My brother has a hole in his heart.
00:07:57He needs surgery and the longer we wait, the less chance he has at making a full recovery.
00:08:02So why don't you ask your parents for the money?
00:08:06It's not an option.
00:08:07Look, I'll be the best fake wife you've ever had, okay?
00:08:13Please?
00:08:17Please?
00:08:21Alright.
00:08:22We'll call it highly motivated.
00:08:24I like that in a business partner.
00:08:27You're hired.
00:08:28I promise you, it's all quite standard.
00:08:34Yes, quite.
00:08:36It says here that I don't get the money until the baby is born.
00:08:40Yes, but I will front the cost of Nico's surgery.
00:08:44And all your day-to-day expenses will be taken care of.
00:08:47I have to live with you?
00:08:48I told you, the relationship has to appear real.
00:08:52Well, then Nico needs to live here too. My brother can't be alone.
00:08:58Alright.
00:09:00Now what? Why aren't you signing?
00:09:10I want you to meet him first.
00:09:12I'll send a car.
00:09:13No, no, I can't have him leave the house.
00:09:16Is he a kid or is he a dog?
00:09:19He's sick, Gideon.
00:09:21Alright, well I don't leave the estate.
00:09:22So if you want me to meet him, you'll bring him here.
00:09:24Alice has told me a lot about you.
00:09:29You're lucky. She just told me she was dating you.
00:09:32Well, everything that I do has a way of ending up in the press.
00:09:36So I asked her to keep our romance quiet, I hope.
00:09:40Well, I hope you can forgive me.
00:09:42Yeah, I think I can forgive anyone with a house this big.
00:09:45Don't get too excited, your heart.
00:09:47Karen, what are you doing here?
00:09:57Can't drop in to surprise my big brother?
00:10:00No, it's not a good time. I have guests.
00:10:04How was I supposed to know you've never had a guest?
00:10:08That's not true, Alice. This is my very funny brother, Kieran.
00:10:13It's good to meet you.
00:10:15Jenny, hi.
00:10:17And, uh, you are?
00:10:20Oh, I'm, uh, his girlfriend.
00:10:27Oh.
00:10:29So, you two have been dating how long?
00:10:32I don't think it's been so long.
00:10:36I'm pretty sure I mentioned Alice to you.
00:10:40Pretty sure you did.
00:10:42No, I'm pretty sure I have.
00:10:43Um, hey, how about we take a walk outside, take a walk around the grounds? It's a beautiful day today.
00:10:48Today.
00:10:50But you think that, like, maybe there would be enough more.
00:10:53I think everyone buys it.
00:10:55Maybe even two more.
00:10:56Do Carrie and Jenny have kids?
00:10:57They've been trying for some years, but, I mean, it's a sensitive topic.
00:11:02Sorry to hear that.
00:11:04Somebody's gotta carry on the Maslow name.
00:11:05I'll give him my best shot.
00:11:06Alice?
00:11:07No, I'm good.
00:11:08No, I'm good.
00:11:09Niko?
00:11:10Uh, your brother!
00:11:11Niko, no!
00:11:12Niko, no!
00:11:13His pulse is steady.
00:11:14Niko, can you hear me?

00:17:33This room is off limits to guests.
00:17:37I'm not a guest.
00:17:38You heard Mr. Maslow.
00:17:45Oh, thank you.
00:18:08You know, I've become such a fast reader these last few weeks.
00:18:12See? Perks of taking it easy.
00:18:14Exactly.
00:18:15Who needs friends when you have your sister's old books?
00:18:18Ha. Bunny.
00:18:20Really, I'm super proud of how seriously you're taking this recovery.
00:18:27Yeah, anything to get me back to real life faster.
00:18:30I hate to break it to you, buddy, but this is a lot more like real life than whatever you're missing over summer break.
00:18:36Like, how is this real life?
00:18:39Having your priorities straight, compromising on joy because it's what you have to do, it doesn't get more real life than that, babe.
00:18:49Looking good, isn't he?
00:18:50You've done great work.
00:18:52Well, I take tips.
00:18:55I'm a little strapped for cash at the moment.
00:18:57Saving up for a big surgery.
00:18:59Speaking of, we were able to set a date.
00:19:05The nurse will go over everything with you, but we're looking pretty good.
00:19:08Nico's on the up and up.
00:19:09So Helga told me you went snooping.
00:19:30What a tattletale.
00:19:31I gave you access to every other room in the house.
00:19:34You couldn't respect my one wish?
00:19:35Have you ever read the story of Bluebeard?
00:19:37Obviously not.
00:19:38Okay, well, it's a folktale about a woman who marries an older man named Bluebeard.
00:19:43She moves in with him, and he allows her access to every room in the house except for one.
00:19:48Sound familiar?
00:19:49So what?
00:19:51So, it turns out he had the corpses of six other wives stuffed in the room.
00:19:55You think I went through all this just to kill you?
00:19:59There's easier ways of doing that and much more fun ones.
00:20:03Well, when you tell me something is off limits, I'm gonna assume the worst.
00:20:06You are so stubborn.
00:20:09You did not disclose that in the contract before we signed it.
00:20:13Well, you're a secretive.
00:20:15You didn't mention that.
00:20:17And I don't think you're really 6'5".
00:20:18No, I'm 6'5".
00:20:21Come on, Gideon.
00:20:22You can trust me.
00:20:25Who is she?
00:20:26The woman in the painting.
00:20:27She's the reason why I won't trust you, or any other woman for that matter.
00:20:34She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:21:04Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:21:08Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:21:14What does that mean?
00:21:15That means I only want to think about you, my little dove.
00:21:29What the...
00:21:48What the...
00:21:49What the...
00:22:14Hey.
00:22:16Hello.
00:22:17Crazy how we live in the same house and I can still go days without seeing you.
00:22:21Big house.
00:22:22Gets lonely.
00:22:25Pancakes?
00:22:26Pancakes. Want some?
00:22:28No, I'm more of a waffle man.
00:22:30You know, there's more surface area for the syrup.
00:22:33Here, try one.
00:22:35It's good, I promise.
00:22:41It's my secret recipe.
00:22:44It's good, right?
00:22:55It's good. It's really good.
00:22:58You're not going to have any?
00:22:59No, I had the craziest craving for them this morning, but now my stomach feels a little weird.
00:23:04Alice.
00:23:06Hmm.
00:23:12You think?
00:23:13Do you have a test?
00:23:14What's it say?
00:23:26Negative.
00:23:27Damn.
00:23:29I really thought it would work.
00:23:31I'll get a better doctor.
00:23:32You know, maybe we need to do an egg retrieval first.
00:23:35Create an embryo.
00:23:37And plant it back into you.
00:23:38That could take months.
00:23:40But you signed the contract.
00:23:42You knew you were in this for the long haul.
00:23:44Oh, I know. I'm just bummed that it didn't work.
00:23:49Oh.
00:23:50Yeah.
00:23:52No.
00:23:53Me too.
00:23:54You know, there are other ways I could get pregnant that involves less needles and plastic cups and hospital gowns.
00:24:15Oh, yeah?
00:24:15Birds do it.
00:24:17Birds do it.
00:24:18Bees do it.
00:24:20I mean, why can't we do it?
00:24:23No, Alice, I'm not paying you to have sex with me.
00:24:29I know, but you are paying me to have a child with you, and this could really increase our chances.
00:24:35No, Alice.
00:24:36Sex, it complicates things.
00:24:38Of course it does, when feelings are involved.
00:24:40But we are two business partners with a goal, and sex could be the solution.
00:24:47Aren't you a little bit curious?
00:24:50No, I'm curious.
00:24:52I know you don't trust women, or whatever, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have any pleasure.
00:25:01And you must find me a little attractive.
00:25:03I mean, you want your heir to have half of my genes.
00:25:07You sure that's what you really want to do?
00:25:11I'm sure.
00:25:17There's just one thing you should know.
00:25:20Yeah?
00:25:20What is it?
00:25:23I'm a virgin.
00:25:27What?
00:25:28How?
00:25:30Our parents died when I was 17.
00:25:32I didn't have time to date if I wasn't working or I was with Nico.
00:25:36So you haven't been on one date?
00:25:39Men have asked me out, yeah.
00:25:41But they didn't understand why I couldn't leave my brother, and I didn't want to bring strangers back to our apartment.
00:25:46Look, this is the first time in my life where I haven't been worried about money, about how I'm going to pay rent, how I'm going to pay Nico's next medical bill.
00:25:57For once in my life, I can finally think about what I might want, what I might desire.
00:26:05So you were going to have my baby, and you've never had sex before?
00:26:10I know.
00:26:11I'm a saint.
00:26:12The Virgin Mary.
00:26:13What, does this void the deal?
00:26:23I should have told you.
00:26:24Yes.
00:26:25You should have told me.
00:26:29Hey, where are you going?
00:26:30I, uh, I have to think.
00:26:43Hello, brother.
00:26:45It's unlike you to have me over on a work day.
00:26:47I have a problem.
00:26:51Alice.
00:26:52Oh, the mystery girlfriend.
00:26:54Yeah, she's a, uh, a virgin.
00:27:00There's a twist.
00:27:06I'm very surprised.
00:27:07She's quite pretty.
00:27:10It's just a little more responsibility than I was prepared for.
00:27:15I know it's been a while since you've been with anyone, but I'm sure you remember how to do it.
00:27:20In fact, if I remember correctly, Jenny Mills was a virgin and you slept with her.
00:27:25So was I, and we were 16.
00:27:28So take it slow.
00:27:29Right?
00:27:30Come on.
00:27:32It's wine and diner.
00:27:34Ah, Gideon.
00:27:39You're going to have to behave like a gentleman.
00:27:43What will you do?
00:27:51Hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?
00:27:53No, I knew I shouldn't have told you.
00:27:56Just hold on a second.
00:27:57No, I should have known better.
00:27:58It's a mistake.
00:27:59Every time someone finds out, they look at me different.
00:28:01Like, like I'm something fragile.
00:28:03They're afraid of breaking.
00:28:04No, hey, please don't tell me what's going on in my own mind.
00:28:09Look me in the eyes and tell me you didn't change your opinion of me.
00:28:12No, truthfully, I don't know.
00:28:14I don't know how I, I don't know how I feel about it.
00:28:16I mean, it was certainly surprising.
00:28:17Bullshit.
00:28:18Alice, just slow down, okay?
00:28:23Is that fair?
00:28:29Fair?

00:32:00It didn't pass much time.
00:32:16Are you sure you want this?
00:32:37There's no pressure to feel any kind of way, and if it hurts or anything.
00:32:46I'll follow you, Lee, all right? You take control. Does that sound okay?
00:32:52I want you to take control.
00:33:13Good morning.
00:33:13Oh, hey. Good morning. You feeling okay?
00:33:20Yeah. That was good, right?
00:33:27Oh, yeah. It was really good.
00:33:32We could have another drink tonight.
00:33:35I actually forgot to tell you. We're going to have dinner with Karen and Jenny tonight.
00:33:39Dinner?
00:33:40Okay, but why?
00:33:45Well, I mean, we have to seem like a big, happy family.
00:33:48If we're getting divorced in a year, we don't have to appear that happy.
00:33:51Well, no. I mean, we can't have any cracks in our story.
00:33:54I love my brother, but, I mean, he's got a loud mouth.
00:33:58And Jenny will say anything about everything.
00:34:00Well, then we better get our story straight.
00:34:02If we're going to get grilled, we should be on the same page.
00:34:05I'm sure. We could practice.
00:34:07I mean, our brother isn't exactly Columbo, and Jenny and Helga are harmless.
00:34:14Helga's coming?
00:34:15Yeah, she says we wanted to get to know you.
00:34:18She has it out for me.
00:34:19It's one night. We can get through one night.
00:34:27Soup's almost ready. Just another few minutes.
00:34:30Thank you, Helga.
00:34:34It's nice to get some face time with you, Alice.
00:34:36I've been wanting to get to know you better.
00:34:39Well, you know what they say?
00:34:40You don't know someone until you see them eat.
00:34:42How do you eat, Alice?
00:34:49You want me to spoil the surprise?
00:34:51I'll tell you how I eat.
00:34:54Until I'm full.
00:34:57Can't attest to that.
00:34:59So tell us, how did you and Gideon meet?
00:35:02And the questions begin before we even had our appetizers.
00:35:06It'll be another few minutes.
00:35:07What were you saying, Gideon, about how you two met?
00:35:10Well, dear, would you like me to, or would you like to?
00:35:13Well, I just love the way you tell it.
00:35:16All right.
00:35:17Well, it's a very funny story, actually.
00:35:20We met at a charity event a few years ago,
00:35:23and then we happened to come across each other online
00:35:25a few months ago.
00:35:29What's funny about that?
00:35:31The way life works, sometimes.
00:35:35Well, honey, you forgot the funniest part
00:35:37about how later that night you accidentally tripped me.
00:35:40Oh, and then she dropped her champagne glass.
00:35:48What event was it?
00:35:52What charity event was it?
00:35:58The one for the opera.
00:36:00I remember this.
00:36:02I literally remember Gideon telling me
00:36:04that he tripped someone.
00:36:06Don't you remember, Kieran?
00:36:07I told you about this.
00:36:08You know,
00:36:09I just don't remember you in our circle.
00:36:15You don't seem like the type.
00:36:19Why?
00:36:20Am I not high class enough?
00:36:23I didn't mean that.
00:36:24No, it's okay.
00:36:25I get it.
00:36:26I would be worried, too,
00:36:27if I thought someone was trying
00:36:29to take advantage of my family.
00:36:31I know you have a lot to protect,
00:36:33and I don't come from a home like this.
00:36:37So you're right.
00:36:38I can't prove to you
00:36:39that I'm not some gold digger.
00:36:41All I can do is promise you
00:36:43that Gideon and I,
00:36:45we know the truth,
00:36:48and we trust each other.
00:36:50You really are a special girl.
00:37:00I had my doubts, of course.
00:37:03I couldn't be sure of your intentions,
00:37:05especially with the way
00:37:05you walked in that first day.
00:37:07Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
00:37:10You two moved in together so quick,
00:37:12I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.
00:37:16You can imagine my relief
00:37:17when I saw the negative pregnancy test.
00:37:20Pregnancy test?
00:37:25Were you going through my trash?
00:37:27Of course not, Alice.
00:37:29Be reasonable.
00:37:30I was cleaning up the mess
00:37:32you made in your bathroom
00:37:33and didn't know what I was looking at
00:37:35until it was too late.
00:37:36Are you trying to get pregnant?
00:37:37Of course not, Kieran,
00:37:38but accidents happen.
00:37:39We are trying.
00:37:45Gideon, you don't think
00:37:46it's a little rushed?
00:37:48Of course it's rushed.
00:37:49No.
00:37:49It's not.
00:37:51And how is that?
00:37:52Because we...
00:37:54It's okay.
00:37:58You can tell if I'm Gideon.
00:38:00I asked him to keep it a surprise,
00:38:02but we're getting married.
00:38:05What?
00:38:08When is this happening?
00:38:10Um, next week.
00:38:12And you're sure this is something
00:38:17you want to do?
00:38:22I'm positive.
00:38:28Well, in that case...
00:38:30Welcome to the family, Alice.
00:38:35Soup's on!
00:38:36I'm sorry I told everyone
00:38:40we're getting married.
00:38:41I panicked.
00:38:43Maybe we're going to find out
00:38:44sooner or later.
00:38:45You know, now we need to
00:38:46pull together a quick wedding.
00:38:48Sounds easy enough.
00:38:50Oh, we got to get Nico cleared
00:38:52for a couple hours from the hospital.
00:38:54Why?
00:38:56Don't you want your brother there?
00:38:57How would that help the plan?
00:39:02No, I mean...
00:39:03Don't you want your brother
00:39:04at the wedding?
00:39:06Now's not a good time.
00:39:09And besides,
00:39:10he'll be there when I get married
00:39:11for real one day.
00:39:12Yeah, no, that's fine.
00:39:16Um, I got to get prepared.
00:39:21You got to get a dress.
00:39:31I almost forgot.
00:39:42Need help?
00:39:51I think I got it.
00:39:53Please, let me help.
00:39:54It's what I'm here for.
00:39:59Are you nervous?
00:40:01Why would I be nervous?
00:40:03It's your wedding day.
00:40:05Right.
00:40:06I'm actually fine.
00:40:08Gideon's a great guy.
00:40:10I'm aware.
00:40:12I just mean there's nothing
00:40:13to be nervous about.
00:40:15I'm happy for you.
00:40:17Both of you.
00:40:18But especially you.
00:40:20What an amazing accomplishment.
00:40:23You should take your seat.
00:40:24The ceremony's starting soon,
00:40:26and I want to make sure
00:40:27you have a great view.
00:40:42It's bad luck to see each other
00:40:46before the wedding.
00:40:47I know.
00:40:49I think I can afford it.
00:40:51Why's that?
00:40:53Hold on one second.
00:40:54I got a surprise for you.
00:41:01Congratulations.
00:41:01What are you doing here?
00:41:06It's your big day.
00:41:07We thought we'd surprise you.
00:41:09We?
00:41:10Me and Gideon.
00:41:13Hey.
00:41:14Hey.
00:41:14Hey.
00:41:18Think about how happy
00:41:19Mom and Dad would be
00:41:20to see us right now.
00:41:23Two orphans all grown up.
00:41:24Why did you get so old?
00:41:32We both got old way too young.
00:41:36I love that you're here.
00:41:38Okay?
00:41:38But nothing is worth
00:41:39risking your health.
00:41:41You're all I got.
00:41:42You know that?
00:41:45Not anymore.
00:41:46You're sure you're okay
00:41:52to sit through
00:41:52the whole ceremony?
00:41:53Oh yeah.
00:41:54Definitely good enough
00:41:54to have a few drinks later.
00:41:56Let's get you wifed.
00:42:00Do you, Alice,
00:42:01take Gideon
00:42:02to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:42:04Promising to love
00:42:05and cherish
00:42:05through joy
00:42:06and sorrow
00:42:07through sickness
00:42:08and health
00:42:09and whatever challenges
00:42:09you may face
00:42:10as long as you both
00:42:11shall live?
00:42:13I do.
00:42:16Would you please
00:42:32exchange rings?
00:42:46By the power vested in me,
00:42:53I now pronounce you
00:42:53husband and wife.
00:42:55You may kiss the bride.
00:42:56you may kiss the bride.
00:43:04Woo!
00:43:12Woo!
00:43:13God, you are so beautiful.
00:43:32You have no idea how mad I am at you.
00:43:43You were incredible today.
00:43:54Have you ever even heard of a boundary?
00:43:58I've closed nine figure deals on seven continents.
00:44:01Of course I've heard of boundaries.
00:44:04I just, I don't know, I thought you'd be more appreciative.
00:44:08How? You totally ignored what I said.
00:44:12Because it wasn't what you wanted.
00:44:13What I want is for Nico to be healthy for his surgery.
00:44:17You jeopardized his health. Do you know how big of a violation that is?
00:44:21It's fine. Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:44:25He's going to get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow.
00:44:27You're not his father.
00:44:28You're not his mother.
00:44:34Alice.
00:44:34No, I don't want to see you.
00:44:37I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want.
00:44:41Tell her we're fighting.
00:44:43No, Alice.
00:44:56Today's the day.
00:44:58First day of the rest of my life.
00:45:01Or the last. We'll see.
00:45:03God, I hate when you say stuff like that.
00:45:05I'm just joking. Relax.
00:45:06It'll be fine.
00:45:11So where's your husband?
00:45:13You know, he doesn't leave the house much.
00:45:16Or at all, apparently.
00:45:18I was hoping he'd be with you.
00:45:22Well, don't worry about me.
00:45:24The doctor is going to take you to the operating room soon,
00:45:26and I will be here the whole time.
00:45:28I know you will be.
00:45:29I know you will be here the whole time.
00:45:54Gideon.
00:45:57You left the house.
00:45:59It was getting stuffy in there.
00:46:03What are you doing here?
00:46:05I just, I really want to be here with you.
00:46:26I'm a nervous wreck.
00:46:27It's going to be fine.
00:46:29You want to know how I know?
00:46:32How?
00:46:33Because I think you promised.
00:46:38I take these so seriously.
00:46:55Alice?
00:46:56Alice, how is he?
00:47:04Nico's surgery was a huge success.
00:47:07They'll bring him in here in just a moment.
00:47:09Okay.
00:47:10So everything went well?
00:47:12Better than we could have hoped for.
00:47:14We'll keep him for two more days and then he'll be free to go home.
00:47:17Two days?
00:47:19Is that enough time?
00:47:21I wanted to have around the clock medical care.
00:47:23What if there are complications?
00:47:25We don't foresee any complications.
00:47:27Money's not going to be a concern.
00:47:29Whatever it takes is fine.
00:47:31Money's not a concern for us either.
00:47:33The thing is, I don't think he needs to be here any longer.
00:47:37He'll make a speedy recovery.
00:47:38I know because we've been doing it now.
00:47:50We've been watching các bạn.
00:47:51What?
00:47:52That's what I'm saying.
00:47:54Gideon?
00:48:24What are you doing?
00:48:38I want this to be Nico's room.
00:48:42You don't have to do that.
00:48:44It's a big house. There are plenty of rooms.
00:48:46No.
00:48:48I'm ready to move on.
00:48:50To start over.
00:48:51Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:49:02Krista.
00:49:03She was quite the artist.
00:49:06Very famous.
00:49:08I'm sure you've heard of her.
00:49:09I'm absolutely sure I haven't.
00:49:13What happened between you two?
00:49:15She lied.
00:49:17She knew I wanted an heir.
00:49:19She had me fall in love with her.
00:49:23All the while knowing that she didn't want to become a mother.
00:49:27Women have always lied.
00:49:30Even when I was a kid, they would lie.
00:49:34Just to come to see my house.
00:49:36And then as we grew up, it became more about the gifts and the vacations.
00:49:41My point is, I'm used to it.
00:49:43What made her different?
00:49:49She really had me fooled.
00:49:55You know, I had to pay her off just to never see her again.
00:49:57I was so angry.
00:50:05I didn't want to see anyone.
00:50:06And that's when the rumors started.
00:50:08Recluse billionaire.
00:50:10Gideon Maslow.
00:50:12Must be hard to hear people say that about you.
00:50:15No, I didn't care what they said anymore.
00:50:18No, I had given up on love.
00:50:21But I had never given up on an heir.
00:50:22You know, I'm not going to hurt you like she did.
00:50:27You really can trust me.
00:50:31Can I tell you a secret?
00:50:36I think I believe you.
00:50:37I believe you.
00:50:38I don't.
00:50:43I don't believe you.
00:50:43I don't believe you.
00:50:45I think you must.
00:50:48I don't.
00:50:54Don't believe me.
00:51:03I don't believe you.
00:51:04I don't believe you.
00:51:05grandson.
00:53:06And we're nearly ready to send you some options.
00:53:10No, I'm very pleased with the one that you referred.
00:53:15Mr. Maslow, we never referred anyone.
00:53:19Well, what do you mean?
00:53:21I'm working with Alice Gardner.
00:53:22It was Alice Gardner.
00:53:31Is everything okay?
00:53:34I just got off the phone with Brenda, Parkside Surrogacy.
00:53:39Gideon.
00:53:40I thought you said that I can trust you.
00:53:43God, I almost believed you.
00:53:45All the while, you've been lying to my face.
00:53:47Gideon, just let me explain.
00:53:48You are just like the rest of them.
00:53:51You know that you are...
00:53:53You're just like her.
00:53:54Okay, you're right.
00:53:55I'm no different than her.
00:53:57I lied to get close to you and I was only in it for the money.
00:53:59But somewhere along the way, things changed.
00:54:02Okay, I fell in love with you.
00:54:05Gideon, I'm in love with you.
00:54:08That's what Krista said, too.
00:54:10I don't know what to say to make you believe me.
00:54:12Don't try, because it's not going to work.
00:54:15Right, I thought that having a contract would finally take the complications out of everything,
00:54:20letting me finally get an heir to my estate.
00:54:23God, you violated it from the start.
00:54:25You don't want an heir, Gideon.
00:54:28You want a child.
00:54:29You want to be a dad and to have a family.
00:54:31And deep down, you know that I don't want to leave when the money is paid.
00:54:35I want to stay and I want to have a family with you.
00:54:38You're not scared that it's fake.
00:54:41You're scared that it might actually be real this time.
00:54:46I feel sorry for you, Gideon.
00:54:48You have everything in this world.
00:54:51And you're going to end up with nothing.
00:55:05Oh, I didn't know you were here.
00:55:13I was going to make the bed.
00:55:16Looks like you already did.
00:55:19Looks like I already did.
00:55:25I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:55:26I know you were really hoping she would be the one.
00:55:31But I guess she was just another one.
00:55:35It makes me question if I could be of assistance.
00:55:40Not unless you can get me an heir.
00:55:42That's actually exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:55:48The last thing I want to do is overstep.
00:55:52It would be my nightmare to learn that I've crossed some sort of boundary.
00:55:55But I think Alice has confused you.
00:55:59Somewhere along the way, she got in your head and made it all mushy-gushy.
00:56:04What happened to you, Gideon?
00:56:06You want an heir?
00:56:08Then you need someone you can trust.
00:56:11Someone who you don't need to worry will start feeling feelings or thinking thoughts.
00:56:16Gideon, I've stood by you, unwaveringly, watching these women enter and exit your life.
00:56:26You really want an heir?
00:56:29The Gideon I know would put one inside me right now.
00:56:46No, she didn't confuse me.
00:56:54She colored me in.
00:56:57Shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:57:10It's never simple with you, is it?
00:57:14I guess not.
00:57:16But I won't be making that mistake again.
00:57:21Which mistake is that?
00:57:24Poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin?
00:57:30Falling in love.
00:57:37Okay.
00:57:39I am going to do something that is very unlike me and
00:57:44actually give a shit for a second.
00:57:51Gideon, aside from the doctor that delivered you,
00:57:54I have known you longer than anyone on this planet.
00:57:56And once I finally kill that doctor, it'll be just me.
00:58:01Through all the parties, all the success, and all the women,
00:58:05I've never seen you as happy as when you are with Alice.
00:58:09I know she lied to you.
00:58:14She lied to me from the very beginning, from the absolute onset.
00:58:18Everything was built on a lie.
00:58:19But if you're going to trust something, trust your heart.
00:58:27Do you really want to lose her?
00:58:29Is it really worth that?
00:58:32So it was never real.
00:58:40It wasn't.
00:58:41Why didn't you tell me?
00:58:44I didn't think you'd understand.
00:58:46You try to protect me way too much, Alice.
00:58:49That's my job.
00:58:50And you've done a good job.
00:58:52You fixed my broken heart.
00:58:56But now I can do all the things that we dreamed about when we were kids.
00:59:00I don't need a mom.
00:59:01I need a sister.
00:59:05I love you so much.
00:59:09Can I tell you something?
00:59:10Always.
00:59:12I really loved him too.
00:59:31Hey.
00:59:38Hi.
00:59:43Well, I'm going to go to my room.
00:59:45Be nice.
00:59:46Hi.
00:59:50I'm sorry for lying to you.
00:59:52No, I'm sorry for giving it all up and wanting to throw it all away.
00:59:58That's not what you do.
00:59:59You know when you love someone.
01:00:01I love you, Alice.
01:00:07I love you, Gideon.
01:00:09I want to be with you and I want a family with you.
01:00:13That's what I want.
01:00:14I want you forever.
01:00:26What is that?
01:00:31I felt a bit weird this morning, so I thought I'd check.
