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?

00:11:15It's okay.

00:11:16Open your eyes.

00:11:17Breathe.

00:11:18Breathe.

00:11:19Breathe.

00:11:21Oh, my God.

00:11:23I am so scared.

00:11:24It won't be a mess again.

00:11:25Dazuеб!

00:11:26T hand Auf Heyo!

00:11:27They are cold.

00:11:28Uh, you're用 of your brother!

00:11:30Uh, your brother!

00:11:31Niko, no!

00:11:32T hand me.

00:11:33Picoc

00:11:43His pulse is steady.

00:11:44Niko, can you hear me?

00:11:45It's okay.

00:11:46Open your eyes.

00:11:47Breathe.

00:11:47Oh, my God. I am so sorry.

00:11:51I think I just got a little overexcited.

00:11:54You've got nothing to be sorry about.

00:11:56It's fine. I can keep walking.

00:11:58Absolutely not.

00:12:00We're going to the hospital.

00:12:01Aiden, are you going to be okay to drive?

00:12:02I told you he shouldn't have come here.

00:12:07Alice!

00:12:16It's good that he's getting some rest.

00:12:17What did the lab say?

00:12:22His condition is getting worse.

00:12:25We need to take a more aggressive approach with this treatment.

00:12:28He should stay in the hospital until he's strong enough for surgery.

00:12:33You want him to live here full time?

00:12:36Well, make sure that he's very comfortable.

00:12:39And you can visit him whenever you like.

00:12:44Have you been able to figure out a payment plan?

00:12:45I've brokered a deal with the devil.

00:12:51Just have to sign it.

00:12:59I thought I'd never see you again.

00:13:01Do you have a pen?

00:13:02Helga will be overseeing your transition into the house.

00:13:11Welcome to the Maslow Estate.

00:13:13Must be exciting.

00:13:16Our bedroom is over there.

00:13:19It's all very nice.

00:13:20I work long hours, so try to keep quiet.

00:13:25I'll be spending most days at the hospital with Nico anyways.

00:13:35Hey, what's in here?

00:13:36Hey.

00:13:38You can have your run of the house.

00:13:39But that room is completely off limits.

00:13:44You understand?

00:13:46I do.

00:13:59Helga, help Alice get situated.

00:14:01I have to make a phone call.

00:14:01Of course, Mr. Maslow.

00:14:05Thanks for all your help.

00:14:07Of course.

00:14:08Anything for Gideon.

00:14:10He must do a really great job as house manager.

00:14:13I mean, he never wants to leave this place.

00:14:17Gideon is a very complicated and brilliant man.

00:14:20I'm sure he is.

00:14:23I've stood by him through great joy and great sorrow.

00:14:28That's nice.

00:14:31And sorrowful.

00:14:34Please feel free to call on me for anything that you need.

00:14:37I'll be nearby all the time, keeping an eye on you.

00:14:41I thought you'd be asleep.

00:14:59Restless, I guess.

00:15:02So how was your first day at the house?

00:15:07I don't think Helga likes me very much.

00:15:11You know, she's been with me for years.

00:15:12She's very loyal.

00:15:14Yeah, she mentioned something about that.

00:15:18You know, I don't know why women become so paranoid.

00:15:22You know, I think you need to get some sleep.

00:15:24Because stress is bad for baby making.

00:15:28Our appointment is tomorrow.

00:15:30Are you going to come with me?

00:15:31I sent my sample to the doctor already.

00:15:33So he's just going to insert it into you.

00:15:37How romantic.

00:15:41He's like, oh she's got one night.

00:15:42Yes.

00:15:42He is going to let me drop you.

00:15:47And that doesn't have to remember.

00:15:50Okay.

00:17:21This room is off limits to guests.

00:17:37I'm not a guest.

00:17:38You heard Mr. Maslow.

00:17:45Oh, thank you.

00:18:08And 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.

00:18:29I hate to break it to you, buddy, but this is a lot more like real life than whatever you're missing over a summer break.

00:18:37How 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.

00:18:47Looking good, isn't he?

00:18:51You'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.

00:18:58Speaking 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.

00:19:24So Helga told me you went snooping.

00:19:28What a tattletale.

00:19:32I 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.

00:19:39Okay, well, it's a folk tale 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?

00:19:58There's easier ways of doing that, and much more fun ones.

00:20:03Well, when you tell me something is off limits, I'm going to assume the worst.

00:20:07You 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.

00:20:29She's the reason why I won't trust you.

00:20:32Or any other woman for that matter.

00:20:34Oh, I don't know.

00:20:44I don't know.

00:20:45I don't know.

00:20:46I don't know.

00:20:50Why 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?

00:21:20That means, I only want to think about you, my little dove.

00:21:48What the?

00:21:50What does that mean?

00:21:52Don't leave me alone.

00:21:55I love you.

00:21:56I love you.

00:21:58I love you.

00:22:07I love you.

00:22:12I love you.

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. You know, there's more surface area for the syrup.

00:22:33Here, try one. It's good. I promise.

00:22:36This is my secret recipe.

00:22:53It's good, right?

00:22:55It's good. It's really good. You'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.

00:23:05Alice.

00:23:06You think?

00:23:13Do you have a test?

00:23:22What'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.

00:23:34Create 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.

00:23:52Oh.

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.

00:24:14Oh, yeah?

00:24:17Birds do it.

00:24:18Bees do it.

00:24:20I mean...

00:24:21Why can't we do it?

00:24:26No, Alice.

00:24:27I'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.

00:24:39When feelings are involved.

00:24:40But we are two business partners with a goal, and sex could be the solution.

00:24:45Aren't you a little bit curious?

00:24:50No, I'm curious.

00:24:53I know you don't trust women or whatever, but...

00:24:57That 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.

00:25:15There'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.

00:25:34If I wasn't working, 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,

00:25:44and I didn't want to bring strangers back to our apartment.

00:25:48Look, this is the first time in my life where I haven't been worried about money.

00:25:53About how I'm going to pay rent, how I'm going to pay Nico's next medical bill.

00:25:58For once in my life, I can finally think about what I might want.

00:26:03What I might desire.

00:26:06So 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.

00:26:18What?

00:26:18Does this void the deal?

00:26:23I should have told you.

00:26:24Yes.

00:26:25You should have told me.

00:26:29Where are you going?

00:26:30I, uh...

00:26:35I 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.

00:26:53The mystery girlfriend.

00:26:54Yeah, she's a, uh...

00:26:57A virgin.

00:26:58There'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.

00:27:21In fact, if I remember correctly, Jenny Mills was a virgin, and you slept with her.

00:27:25So was I, and we were 16.

00:27:28Just take it slow.

00:27:29Right?

00:27:30Come on.

00:27:32Just wine and diner.

00:27:34Ah, Gideon.

00:27:38You're gonna have to behave like a gentleman.

00:27:43What will you do?

00:27:44Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:27:53What 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.

00:28:04Hey, please don't tell me what's going on in my own mind.

00:28:07Look 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 feel about it.

00:28:16I mean, it was certainly surprising.

00:28:17Bullshit.

00:28:19Alice?

00:28:20Just slow down, okay?

00:28:23Is that fair?

00:28:30Fair?

00:28:34How about I take you for a drink?

00:28:35I thought you don't leave the house.

00:28:41Secret bar.

00:28:43Very James Bond.

00:28:48You know, I don't think it's such a bad thing.

00:28:51Not you being a virgin and all.

00:28:53I think that it points to some level of discipline.

00:28:58Can we talk about something else?

00:29:01It's been a while since I've been on a date.

00:29:04I'm a bit rusty.

00:29:05So what do you do locked away here all the time?

00:29:10Dress up in costumes and fight crime?

00:29:14Well, it helps to have a full bar next to the living room.

00:29:18So you really never leave?

00:29:21Never.

00:29:22Not even on a drive?

00:29:24Not even on a drive.

00:29:28Wild.

00:29:28There are benefits, though.

00:29:32Like?

00:29:35I don't normally tell people this.

00:29:37But I make the greatest martini in the entire world.

00:29:43Oh, yeah?

00:29:46Prove it.

00:29:47Well, I'll give it to you.

00:30:03That is a damn good drink.

00:30:06Have you ever even had a martini?

00:30:08No.

00:30:09No.

00:30:10But I'm from Iowa.

00:30:11And we know drinking.

00:30:14Thank you, bartender.

00:30:18So what brings you to this bar so late at night?

00:30:20Oh, you know.

00:30:25I was supposed to meet someone here.

00:30:28Was he a good-looking guy?

00:30:31Well, he certainly seems to think so.

00:30:34You been working here long?

00:30:36No, I took it over from my father.

00:30:38I was supposed to be here.

00:30:41Yeah?

00:30:42Yeah.

00:30:44I grew up in this house.

00:30:49God, I thought I told you that.

00:30:51No.

00:30:53But you don't really tell me anything.

00:30:57Well, when my parents died, I took over the estate.

00:31:02Are we sleeping in their bed?

00:31:04No.

00:31:05No.

00:31:05Absolutely not.

00:31:06Well, I mean, maybe the mattress pad.

00:31:08Oh, very sexy.

00:31:11Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to be sexy.

00:31:14Well, it would certainly help pass the time.

00:31:36How was that?

00:32:00It didn't pass much time.

00:32:02Are you sure you want this?

00:32:30There's no pressure.

00:32:38You have to feel any kind of way.

00:32:39And if it hurts or anything.

00:32:40Yeah, thank you.

00:32:46I'll follow you, Lee.

00:32:48All right?

00:32:48You take control.

00:32:49Does that sound okay?

00:32:49I want you to take control.

00:33:08Good morning.

00:33:13Oh, hey.

00:33:16Good morning.

00:33:17You feeling okay?

00:33:20Yeah.

00:33:22That was good, right?

00:33:25Oh, yeah.

00:33:28It was really good.

00:33:32We could have another drink tonight.

00:33:35I actually forgot to tell you.

00:33:37We're going to have dinner with Karen and Jenny tonight.

00:33:39Dinner?

00:33:43Okay, 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.

00:33:52I 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.

00:34:06We could practice.

00:34:07I mean, our brother isn't exactly Columbo.

00:34:10And Jenny and Helga are harmless.

00:34:13Helga'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.

00:34:21We can get through one night.

00:34:27Soup's almost ready.

00:34:28Just 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.

00:34:38Well, you know what they say?

00:34:40You don't know someone until you see them eat.

00:34:44How 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?

00:35:01And the questions begin before you 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 a few months ago.

00:35:27What's funny about that?

00:35:31The way life works, sometimes.

00:35:35Well, honey, you forgot the funniest part about how later that night you accidentally tripped me.

00:35:40Oh, and then she dropped her champagne glass.

00:35:43What event was it?

00:35:52What charity event was it?

00:35:58The one for the opera.

00:35:59I remember this.

00:36:02I literally remember Gideon telling me that he tripped someone.

00:36:06Don't you remember, Kieran?

00:36:07I told you about this.

00:36:08You know, I just don't remember you in our circle.

00:36:15You don't seem like the type.

00:36:16Why?

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, if I thought someone was trying to take advantage of my family.

00:36:31I know you have a lot to protect, and I don't come from a home like this.

00:36:37So you're right.

00:36:38I can't prove to you that I'm not some gold digger.

00:36:41All I can do is promise you that Gideon and I, we know the truth, and we trust each other.

00:36:58You really are a special girl.

00:37:00I had my doubts, of course.

00:37:02I couldn't be sure of your intentions, especially with the way you walked in that first day.

00:37:07Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

00:37:09You two moved in together so quick, I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.

00:37:16You can imagine my relief when I saw the negative pregnancy test.

00:37:22Pregnancy 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 you made in your bathroom and didn't know what I was looking at until it was too late.

00:37:36Are you trying to get pregnant?

00:37:37Of course not, Kieran, but accidents happen.

00:37:39We are trying.

00:37:45Gideon, you don't think it's a little rushed?

00:37:48Of course it's rushed.

00:37:49No, it's not.

00:37:51And how is that?

00:37:52Because we...

00:37:54It's okay, you can tell if I'm Gideon.

00:37:59I asked him to keep it as a surprise, but we're getting married.

00:38:05What?

00:38:08When is this happening?

00:38:11Next week?

00:38:15And you're sure this is something you want to do?

00:38:18I'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 we're getting married.

00:38:41I panicked.

00:38:43Maybe we're going to find out sooner or later.

00:38:45You know, now we need to pull together a quick wedding.

00:38:48Sounds easy enough.

00:38:49Oh, we've got to get Nico cleared for a couple of hours from the hospital.

00:38:54Why?

00:38:56Don't you want your brother there?

00:38:58How would that help the plan?

00:39:02No, I mean...

00:39:03Don't you want your brother at the wedding?

00:39:06Now's not a good time.

00:39:07And besides, he'll be there when I get married for real one day.

00:39:15Yeah, no, that's fine.

00:39:17I've got to get prepared.

00:39:21You've got to get a dress.

00:39:31I almost forgot.

00:39:37Need 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.

00:40:05I'm actually fine.

00:40:08Gideon's a great guy.

00:40:10I'm aware.

00:40:11I just mean there's nothing to 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, and...

00:40:26I want to make sure you have a great view.

00:40:35It's bad luck to see each other before the wedding.

00:40:47I know.

00:40:49I think I can afford it.

00:40:51Why's that?

00:40:52Hold on one second.

00:40:54I've got a surprise for you.

00:40:55What 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.

00:41:18Think about how happy Mom and Dad would be to see us right now.

00:41:21Two orphans all grown up.

00:41:28Why 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 risking your health.

00:41:41You're all I got.

00:41:42You know that?

00:41:43Not anymore.

00:41:50You're sure you're okay to sit through the whole ceremony?

00:41:53Oh, yeah.

00:41:54Definitely good enough to have a few drinks later.

00:41:56Let's get you wifed.

00:42:00You, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband.

00:42:04Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow,

00:42:07through sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face

00:42:10as long as you both shall live?

00:42:13I do.

00:42:17And do you, Gideon,

00:42:19take Alice to be your lawfully wedded wife?

00:42:21Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow,

00:42:24sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face

00:42:26as long as you both shall live?

00:42:29I do.

00:42:31Would you please exchange rings?

00:42:33Yes.

00:42:34Yes.

00:42:35Yes.

00:42:36Yes.

00:42:37Yes.

00:42:38Yes.

00:42:39Yes.

00:42:40Yes.

00:42:51Yes.

00:42:52By the power vested in me,

00:42:53I now pronounce you husband and wife.

00:42:56You may kiss the bride.

00:43:01Yes.

00:43:02Yes.

00:43:03Yes.

00:43:04Yes.

00:43:05Yes.

00:43:06Yes.

00:43:07Yes.

00:43:08Yes.

00:43:09Yes.

00:43:10Yes.

00:43:10God, you were so beautiful.

00:43:32You have no idea how mad I am at you.

00:43:40You 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?

00:44:09You totally ignored what I said.

00:44:12Because it wasn't what you wanted.

00:44:14What I want is for Nico to be healthy for his surgery.

00:44:17You jeopardized his health.

00:44:19Do you know how big of a violation that is?

00:44:21It's fine.

00:44:22Kieran 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.

00:44:35I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want.

00:44:41Tell her we're fighting.

00:44:43No, Alice.

00:44:43Today's the day.

00:44:58First day of the rest of my life.

00:45:01Or the last.

00:45:02We'll see.

00:45:03God, I hate when you say stuff like that.

00:45:05I'm just joking.

00:45:06Relax.

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.

00:45:54Gideon.

00:45:55You 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.

00:46:06I don't know.

00:46:25I'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.

00:46:40Alice?

00:46:58Yes?

00:46:59How 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.

00:47:10Um, so 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.

00:47:18Two days?

00:47:19Is that enough time?

00:47:21I want him to have around the clock medical care.

00:47:23What if there are complications?

00:47:25We don't foresee any complications.

00:47:27I mean, money's not going to be a concern.

00:47:29Whatever it takes is fine.

00:47:31Money's not a concern for us either.

00:47:32The thing is, I don't think he needs to be here any longer.

00:47:37He'll make a speedy recovery.

00:47:38I don't think he needs to be here any longer.

00:47:40He'll make a speedy recovery.

00:47:42No, but I mean, it's incredible.

00:47:49It's all the strings around us, right?

00:47:51What?

00:47:52Yes, that's what I'm saying.

00:47:54Gideon?

00:48:12Gideon?

00:48:12What 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.

00:48:45There are plenty of rooms.

00:48:46No.

00:48:48I'm ready to move on.

00:48:50To start over.

00:48:53Are 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.

00:49:12What happened between you two?

00:49:15She lied.

00:49:17She knew I wanted an heir.

00:49:20She 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.

00:49:35And then as we grew up, it became more about the gifts and the vacations.

00:49:41My point is, I'm used to it.

00:49:45What made her different?

00:49:49She really had me fooled.

00:49:50You know, I had to pay her off just to never see her again.

00:49:59I 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.

00:50:11Must be hard to hear people say that about you.

00:50:15No, I didn't care what they said anymore.

00:50:18I had given up on love.

00:50:20But I had never given up on an heir.

00:50:23You 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?

00:50:32I think I believe you.

00:50:37I think I believe you.

00:51:02I think I believe you.

00:51:32I think I believe you.

00:52:02I think I believe you.

00:52:32Hello, Mr. Maslow, this is Brenda from Parkside Surrogacy Agency, returning your call.

00:52:58Brenda, that's strange, I didn't recall you.

00:53:02Really? I wondered why we never heard from you.

00:53:06We'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.

00:53:20Well, what do you mean? I'm working with Alice Gardner.

00:53:23Who's Alice Gardner?

00:53:27Is 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. God, I almost believed you. All 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. You know that you are...

00:53:53You're just like her.

00:53:54Okay, you're right. I'm no different than her. I lied to get close to you and I was only in it for the money, but somewhere along the way things changed.

00:54:02Okay, I fell in love with you. Gideon, 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.

00:54:14Right? I thought that having a contract would finally take the complications out of everything, letting me finally get an heir to my estate.

00:54:22God, you violated it from the start.

00:54:25You don't want an heir, Gideon.

00:54:27You want a child. You want to be a dad and to have a family and deep down you know that I don't want to leave when the money is paid.

00:54:34I 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.

00:54:45I feel sorry for you, Gideon.

00:54:48You have everything in this world and you're gonna end up with nothing.

00:55:04Oh, I didn't know you were here. I was gonna make the bed.

00:55:16Looks like you already did.

00:55:18Hmm, looks like I already did.

00:55:24I'm sorry, Gideon.

00:55:26I know you were really hoping she would be the one, but I guess she was just another one.

00:55:34It makes me question if I could be of assistance.

00:55:39Not unless you can get me an heir.

00:55:42That's actually exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.

00:55:47The last thing I want to do is overstep.

00:55:51It would be my nightmare to learn that I've crossed some sort of boundary.

00:55:55But I think Alice has confused you.

00:55:58Somewhere along the way she got in your head and made it all mushy-gushy.

00:56:03What happened to you, Gideon?

00:56:06You want an heir?

00:56:08Then you need someone you can trust.

00:56:10Someone who you don't need to worry will start feeling feelings or thinking thoughts.

00:56:18Gideon, I've stood by you, unwaveringly, watching these women enter and exit your life.

00:56:25You really want an heir?

00:56:28The Gideon I know would put one inside me right now.

00:56:33No, she didn't confuse me.

00:56:52She 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.

00:57:20Which mistake is that?

00:57:23Poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin?

00:57:29Falling in love.

00:57:32Okay.

00:57:40I am going to do something that is very unlike me and actually give a shit for a second.

00:57:50Gideon, aside from the doctor that delivered you, I have known you longer than anyone on

00:57:56this planet.

00:57:57And once I finally kill that doctor, it'll be just me.

00:58:01Through all the parties, all the success, and all the women, I've never seen you as happy

00:58:08as when you are with Alice.

00:58:13I know she lied to you.

00:58:14She lied to me from the very beginning, from the absolute onset.

00:58:17Everything was built on a lie.

00:58:20But if you're going to trust something, trust your heart.

00:58:27Do you really want to lose her?

00:58:31Is it really worth that?

00:58:36So it was never real?

00:58:39It wasn't.

00:58:42Why didn't you tell me?

00:58:44I didn't think you'd understand.

00:58:46You tried 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.

00:58:54But now I can do all the things that we dreamed about when we were kids.

00:58:59I don't need a mom.

00:59:02I need a sister.

00:59:04I love you so much.

00:59:07Can I tell you something?

00:59:10Always.

00:59:11I really loved him too.

00:59:13I really loved him too.

00:59:35Hey.

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.

00:59:57That's not what you do, you know, when you love someone.

01:00:03I 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.

01:00:15What is that?

01:00:26What is that?

01:00:27I felt a bit weird this morning, so I thought I'd check.
