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?
00:01:03Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:09Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:12Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:16I can't think of anything more fulfilling than bringing new life into this world.
00:01:20That's beautiful sweetheart.
00:01:23Did you bring everything I asked for?
00:01:25Yes.
00:01:26Medical records, blood work, it's all there.
00:01:30Everything seems to be in order.
00:01:32You're young.
00:01:33You're healthy.
00:01:34I can already think of several clients who would love you.
00:01:37Oh, that's great.
00:01:38It's a huge relief, honestly.
00:01:41Honey, wait.
00:01:42Your medical records are missing the details of your previous birth.
00:01:46Previous birth?
00:01:48To be a surrogate, you need to have given birth before.
00:01:51It was in the literature we sent over.
00:01:53No.
00:01:54Please.
00:01:55Perhaps you can consider egg donation.
00:01:57That doesn't pay enough.
00:01:58Oh, sweetheart.
00:01:59Egg 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.
00:02:34Hey.
00:02:35Hey.
00:02:36Oh, no.
00:02:37Don't get up.
00:02:38It's fine.
00:02:39How are you feeling?
00:02:40Well, I can't live like this much longer.
00:02:43Come on.
00:02:44Don't say that.
00:02:45I'm supposed to start college in three months.
00:02:47And instead, I'm here.
00:02:49Rotting.
00:02:50On a couch.
00:02:51You just have to take things easy until we-
00:02:53I know, I know.
00:02:58By the way, um, have you heard of someone named Gideon Matthews?
00:03:02Yeah, of course.
00:03:03He's the CEO of Maslow Enterprises.
00:03:04He's a billionaire.
00:03:05Why?
00:03:06Just saw the name somewhere.
00:03:09Who is this?
00:03:10Hi.
00:03:11This is Alice Gardner.
00:03:12The Parkside Surrogacy Agency referred me.
00:03:13Okay.
00:03:14I'm here to help you have a baby.
00:03:15They were supposed to send me a selection of women to choose from.
00:03:18Well, the agency is confident that I'm the best choice.
00:03:19Well, I can't speak about this now.
00:03:20My house tomorrow.
00:03:21I'll send a car.
00:03:22Sure.
00:03:23I'll text you right now.
00:03:24Sure.
00:03:25I'll text you right now.
00:03:26Sure.
00:03:27I'll text you right now.
00:03:28Okay.
00:03:29So send me a selection of women to choose from.
00:03:32The agency is confident that I'm the best choice.
00:03:35Well, I can't speak about this now.
00:03:37My house tomorrow, I'll send a car.
00:03:41Sure, I'll text you right now.
00:03:59Can I help you?
00:04:13Hi, yes, I'm here to see Mr. Maslow.
00:04:15I have an appointment.
00:04:17Oh, you must be Miss Gardner.
00:04:19Sorry, I thought you were selling something.
00:04:21What would I be selling?
00:04:24I wasn't sure.
00:04:25Ill-fitting jackets.
00:04:29Alice, I see you met my house manager, Helga.
00:04:40Follow me.
00:04:49Sign.
00:04:53What is it?
00:04:55It's a non-disclosure agreement.
00:04:57Guys usually offer to buy me a drink first.
00:05:02Anything that I say in this meeting will not be repeated.
00:05:07Or else I will unleash a legal firestorm on your ass.
00:05:10The likes of which you couldn't even imagine.
00:05:14Your lawyers are going to need lawyers.
00:05:16And their lawyers are going to need lawyers.
00:05:18Okay, jeez, I get it.
00:05:20You could have just asked me to pinky promise.
00:05:24I 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?
00:05:36My proposition is a bit unconventional.
00:05:40I need to hire someone to marry me and give birth to my heir.
00:05:45I'm sorry.
00:05:49What?
00:05:51Oh.
00:05:52You're one of those billionaires.
00:05:55Freaky psychopath.
00:05:57Well, the marriage would be a temporary situation.
00:05:59After 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.
00:06:06He'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.
00:06:16He 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.
00:06:30How 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?
00:06:42Who said anything about sex?
00:06:44I know how husbands and wives make babies.
00:06:47No, we would take the medical approach.
00:06:50This is a business proposition, not 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.
00:07:06Alice, I agreed to have a child for you, not to have a child with you.
00:07:11Ten million dollars.
00:07:20Ten?
00:07:21Ten mil- million dollars?
00:07:24Ten million dollars.
00:07:26Okay.
00:07:28Okay, I'll do it.
00:07:28Well, you can take your time and think.
00:07:31No, it's all right.
00:07:32Where do I sign?
00:07:33No, slow down, Alice.
00:07:35I still have to think about it.
00:07:37You'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.
00:07:44You really like the sound of all that money, don't you?
00:07:48No, I don't like it.
00:07:50I need it.
00:07:54My 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 she ask your parents for the money?
00:08:06It's not an option.
00:08:09Look, 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.
00:08:27You're hired.
00:08:31I promise you, it's all quite standard.
00:08:35Yes, quite.
00:08:37It 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?
00:08:49I told you, the relationship has to appear real.
00:08:55Well, then Nico needs to live here, too.
00:08:57My brother can't be alone.
00:09:01Alright.
00:09:01Now what?
00:09:08Why aren't you signing?
00:09:10I want you to meet him first.
00:09:12Well, send the car.
00:09:13No, no.
00:09:14I can't have him leave the house.
00:09:15Is he a kid or is he a dog?
00:09:18He's sick, Gideon.
00:09:20Alright, well, I don't leave the estate.
00:09:22So if you want me to meet him, you'll bring him here.
00:09:26Alice has told me a lot about you.
00:09:29Hey, Lucky.
00:09:29She just told me she was dating you.
00:09:32Well, everything that I do has a way of ending up in the press.
00:09:35So I asked her to keep our romance quiet, I hope.
00:09:40Well, I hope you can forgive me.
00:09:41Yeah, 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?
00:09:56Can't drop in to surprise my big brother?
00:09:59No, it's not a good time.
00:10:01I have guests.
00:10:03How was I supposed to know you've never had a guest?
00:10:07That's not true, Alice.
00:10:09This is my very funny brother, Kieran.
00:10:12It's good to meet you.
00:10:14Jenny.
00:10:14Hi.
00:10:15And, uh, you are?
00:10:19Oh, I'm, uh, his girlfriend.
00:10:26Oh.
00:10:28So, you two have been dating how long?
00:10:32I don't think it's been so long.
00:10:34I'm pretty sure I mentioned Alice to you.
00:10:39Pretty sure you didn't.
00:10:41No, I'm pretty sure I have.
00:10:44Hey, how about we take a walk outside, take a walk around the grounds?
00:10:48It's a beautiful day today.
00:10:53But you think that, like, maybe there would be enough.
00:10:56I think everyone buys it.
00:10:59Do Karen and Jenny have kids?
00:11:01They've been trying for some years, but, I mean, it's a sensitive topic.
00:11:06Sorry to hear that.
00:11:07Somebody's got to carry on the Maslow name.
00:11:11I'll give him my best shot.
00:11:15Alice?
00:11:16No, I'm good.
00:11:17Nico?
00:11:19Your brother!
00:11:21Nico, no!
00:11:31His pulse is steady.
00:11:34Nico, can you hear me?
00:11:35It's okay.
00:11:36Open your eyes.
00:11:37Breathe.
00:11:37Breathe.
00:11:48Oh, my God.
00:11:49I am so sorry.
00:11:51I, I, I, I, I think I just got a little overexcited.
00:11:54You've got nothing to be sorry about.
00:11:56It's fine.
00:11:56I can keep walking.
00:11:57Absolutely not.
00:11:58We're going to the hospital.
00:12:01Aiden, you're going to be okay to drive?
00:12:02I told you he shouldn't have come here.
00:12:06Alice!
00:12:15It's good that he's getting some rest.
00:12:20What did the lab say?
00:12:22His condition is getting worse.
00:12:25We need to take a more aggressive approach for 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?
00:12:35Well, make sure that he's very comfortable.
00:12:39And you can visit him whenever you like.
00:12:43Have 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?
00:13:07Helga will be overseeing your transition into the house.
00:13:10Welcome to the Maslow Estate.
00:13:13Must be exciting.
00:13:16Our bedroom is over there.
00:13:19It's all very nice.
00:13:22I work long hours, so try to keep quiet.
00:13:25I'll be spending most days at the hospital with Nico anyways.
00:13:27Hey, what's in here?
00:13:36Hey.
00:13:37You can have your run of the house.
00:13:40But that room is completely off limits.
00:13:43You understand?
00:13:46I do.
00:13:46Helga, help Alice get situated.
00:14:00I have to make a phone call.
00:14:01Of course, Mr. Maslow.
00:14:05Thanks for all your help.
00:14:07Of course, anything 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.
00:14:15Gideon is a very complicated and brilliant man.
00:14:21I'm sure he is.
00:14:23I've stood by him through great joy and great sorrow.
00:14:27That's nice.
00:14:30And sorrowful.
00:14:33Please feel free to call on me for anything that you need.
00:14:36I'll be nearby all the time, keeping an eye on you.
00:14:45I thought you'd be asleep.
00:14:59Restless, I guess.
00:15:02So how was your first day at the house?
00:15:04I don't think Helga likes me very much.
00:15:10You 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.
00:15:21You know, I think you need to get some sleep.
00:15:23Because stress is bad for baby making.
00:15:27Our appointment is tomorrow.
00:15:29Are 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.
00:15:38How romantic.
00:15:38Kyuze.
00:15:39How romantic.
00:15:56How romantic.
00:16:02Things.
00:16:06Things.
00:16:06Things.
00:16:07Things.
00:16:08Things.
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. Who needs friends when you have your sister's old books?
00:18:18Ha. Funny.
00:18:19Really, I'm super proud of how seriously you're taking this recovery.
00:18:26Yeah, 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.
00:18:36How is this real life?
00:18:38Having 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. Saving 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.
00:19:09So Helga told me you went snooping.
00:19:30What a tattletale.
00:19:31I gave you access to every other room in the house. You couldn't respect my one wish?
00:19:35Have you ever heard 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.
00:19:42She 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?
00:19:50So, 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. You didn't mention that.
00:20:16And I don't think you're really 6'5".
00:20:18No, I'm 6'5".
00:20:20Come on, Gideon. You can trust me.
00:20:23Who is she? The woman in the painting.
00:20:29She's the reason why I won't trust you, or any other woman for that matter.
00:20:33Who is her?
00:20:38Who is she?
00:20:40Who is she?
00:20:43Who is she?
00:20:43Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:21:08Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:21:13What does that mean?
00:21:19It means I only want to think about you, my little dove.
00:21:38What the...
00:21:50I don't want to think about you.
00:21:56I don't want to think about you.
00:22:01I don't want to think about you.
00:22:07I don't want to think about you.
00:22:11I don't want to think about you.
00:22:13Hey.
00:22:14Hello.
00:22:15Crazy how we live in the same house and I can still go days without seeing you.
00:22:21Big house.
00:22:22Gets lonely.
00:22:23Pancakes?
00:22:24Pancakes.
00:22:25Want some?
00:22:26No, I'm more of a waffle man.
00:22:29You know, there's more surface area for the syrup.
00:22:32What?
00:22:33Here.
00:22:34Try one.
00:22:35It's good.
00:22:36I promise.
00:22:39It's my secret recipe.
00:22:44It's good, right?
00:22:46It's good.
00:22:47It's really good.
00:22:48You're not going to have any?
00:22:49No.
00:22:50I had the craziest craving for them this morning, but now my stomach feels a little weird.
00:23:04Alice.
00:23:05You think?
00:23:06Do you have a test?
00:23:07What's it say?
00:23:08Negative.
00:23:09Damn.
00:23:10I really thought it would work.
00:23:11I'll get a better doctor.
00:23:12Maybe we need to do an egg retrieval first.
00:23:13No, no, no.
00:23:14No, no.
00:23:15No, no.
00:23:16No, no.
00:23:17No, no.
00:23:18No, no.
00:23:19No, no.
00:23:20No, no.
00:23:21No, no.
00:23:22No, no.
00:23:23No, no.
00:23:24No, no.
00:23:25No, no.
00:23:26No, no.
00:23:27No, no.
00:23:28No, no.
00:23:29No, no.
00:23:30No, no.
00:23:31No, no.
00:23:32No, no.
00:23:33No, no.
00:23:34No, no.
00:23:35Create an embryo and 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.
00:23:45I'm just bummed that it didn't work.
00:23:49Oh.
00:23:50Yeah.
00:23:51No.
00:23:52Me too.
00:24:05You know, there are other ways I could get pregnant that involves less needles and plastic
00:24:12cups and hospital gowns.
00:24:14Oh, yeah?
00:24:15Birds do it.
00:24:18Bees do it.
00:24:19I mean...
00:24:20Why can't we do it?
00:24:21I mean...
00:24:22Why can't we do it?
00:24:25No, Alice.
00:24:26I'm not paying you to have sex with me.
00:24:28I know.
00:24:29But you are paying me to have a child with you and this could really increase our chances.
00:24:34No, Alice.
00:24:35Sex.
00:24:36It complicates things.
00:24:37Of course it does.
00:24:38When feelings are involved.
00:24:40But we are two business partners with a goal and sex could be the solution.
00:24:46Aren't you a little bit curious?
00:24:49I'm curious.
00:24:50I know you don't trust women or whatever, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have any
00:24:59pleasure.
00:25:00And you must find me a little attractive.
00:25:03I mean, you want your heir to have half of my genes.
00:25:06You sure that's what you really want to do?
00:25:09I'm sure.
00:25:12There's just one thing you should know.
00:25:19Yeah?
00:25:20What is it?
00:25:22I'm a virgin.
00:25:27What?
00:25:28How?
00:25:29Our 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?
00:25:39Well, men have asked me out.
00:25:40Yeah.
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.
00:25:47Look, 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.
00:25:55How 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.
00:26:02What 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?
00:26:19Does 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?
00:26:31I, uh, I have to think.
00:26:42Hello, brother.
00:26:44It's unlike you to have me over on a work day.
00:26:47I have a problem.
00:26:50Alice.
00:26:52Oh, the mystery girlfriend.
00:26:54Yeah, she's a, uh, uh, a virgin.
00:27:02There's a twist.
00:27:06I'm very surprised.
00:27:07She's quite pretty.
00:27:10There's just a little more responsibility than I was prepared for.
00:27:14I 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.
00:27:28Just take it slow.
00:27:29Right?
00:27:30Come on.
00:27:31It's wine and diner.
00:27:33Ah, Gideon.
00:27:35You're gonna have to behave like a gentleman.
00:27:43What will you do?
00:27:51Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:27:52What are you doing?
00:27:53No, I knew I shouldn't have told you.
00:27:55Just hold on a second.
00:27:56No, 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.
00:28:02They're afraid of breaking.
00:28:03No, 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.
00:28:13I don't know how I feel about it.
00:28:15I mean, it was certainly surprising.
00:28:16Bullshit.
00:28:18Alice?
00:28:20Just slow down, okay?
00:28:23Is that fair?
00:28:29Fair?
00:28:33How about I take you for a drink?
00:28:37I 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.
00:28:52I 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.
00:29:07So what do you do locked away here all the time?
00:29:10Dress up in costumes and fight crime?
00:29:12Well, it helps to have a full bar next to the living room.
00:29:17So you really never leave?
00:29:20Never.
00:29:22Not even on a drive?
00:29:24Not even on a drive.
00:29:27Wild.
00:29:29There are benefits though.
00:29:31Like?
00:29:32I 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.
00:30:10But 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?
00:30:23Well, you know.
00:30:25I was supposed to meet someone here.
00:30:27Was he a good looking guy?
00:30:30Well, he certainly seems to think so.
00:30:33You been working here long?
00:30:36No, I took it over from my father.
00:30:40Yeah?
00:30:42Yeah.
00:30:44I grew up in this house.
00:30:48I 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. No.
00:31:06Absolutely not.
00:31:07Well, I mean, maybe the mattress pad.
00:31:08Oh.
00:31:09Very sexy.
00:31:10Oh, I didn't know how I was supposed to be sexy.
00:31:14Well, it would certainly help pass the time.
00:31:38How was that?
00:31:39It didn't pass much time.
00:31:40It didn't pass much time.
00:31:41It didn't pass much time.
00:31:42It didn't pass much time.
00:31:47It didn't pass much time.
00:31:49It didn't pass much time.
00:31:54Oh, I'm sorry.

00:43:22God, you were so beautiful.
00:43:32You have no idea how mad I am at you.
00:43:49You were incredible today.
00:43:53Have you ever even heard of a boundary?
00:43:57I've closed nine-figure deals on seven continents.
00:44:00Of course I've heard of boundaries.
00:44:03I just, I don't know, I thought you'd be more appreciative.
00:44:08How? You totally ignored what I said.
00:44:11Because it wasn't what you wanted.
00:44:13What I want is for Nico to be healthy for his surgery.
00:44:16You jeopardized his health. Do you know how big of a violation that is?
00:44:20It's fine. Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:44:24He's going to get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow.
00:44:26You're not his father.
00:44:27You're not his mother.
00:44:33Alice.
00:44:33No, I don't want to see you.
00:44:34I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want.
00:44:41Tell her we're fighting.
00:44:42No, Alice.
00:44:42Today's the day.
00:44:57First day of the rest of my life.
00:45:00Or the last. We'll see.
00:45:02God, I hate when you say stuff like that.
00:45:04I'm just joking. Relax.
00:45:07It'll be fine.
00:45:10So where's your husband?
00:45:12You know, he doesn't leave the house much.
00:45:15Or at all, apparently.
00:45:17I was hoping he'd be with you.
00:45:21Well, don't worry about me.
00:45:23The doctor's going to take you to the operating room soon,
00:45:25and I will be here the whole time.
00:45:28I know you will be.
00:45:28I know you will be.
00:45:29I know you will be.
00:45:59I know you will be in there.
00:46:02What are you doing here?
00:46:04I just, I really want to be here with you.
00:46:25I'm a nervous wreck.
00:46:26It's going to be fine.
00:46:29You want to know how I know?
00:46:31How?
00:46:32Because I think you promise.
00:46:37I take these so seriously.
00:46:39Alice?
00:46:52Yes?
00:46:53How is he?
00:46:55Nico's surgery was a huge success.
00:47:06They'll bring him in here in just a moment.
00:47:08Okay.
00:47:09So everything went well?
00:47:11Better than we could have hoped for.
00:47:12We'll keep him for two more days and then he'll be free to go home.
00:47:17Two days?
00:47:18Is that enough time?
00:47:20I want him to have around-the-clock medical care.
00:47:22What if there are complications?
00:47:24We don't foresee any complications.
00:47:26Money's not going to be a concern.
00:47:28Whatever it takes is fine.
00:47:30Money's not a concern for us either.
00:47:32The thing is, I don't think he needs to be here any longer.
00:47:36He'll make a speedy recovery.
00:47:47No, but I mean, this is incredible.
00:47:48It's like the strings of the brothers, right?
00:47:50What?
00:47:51Yes, what I'm saying.
00:47:53Gideon?
00:48:23What are you doing?
00:48:37I want this to be Nico's room.
00:48:41You don't have to do that.
00:48:43It's a big house.
00:48:44There are plenty of rooms.
00:48:45No.
00:48:47I'm ready to move on.
00:48:49To start over.
00:48:50Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:49:01Krista.
00:49:02She was quite the artist.
00:49:05Very famous.
00:49:07I'm sure you've heard of her.
00:49:08I'm absolutely sure I haven't.
00:49:12What happened between you two?
00:49:14She lied.
00:49:16She knew I wanted an heir.
00:49:17She had me fall in love with her.
00:49:22All the while knowing that she didn't want to become a mother.
00:49:26Women have always lied.
00:49:29Even when I was a kid, they would lie.
00:49:33Just to come to see my house.
00:49:35And then as we grew up, it became more about the gifts and the vacations.
00:49:40My point is, I'm used to it.
00:49:44What made her different?
00:49:45She really had me fooled.
00:49:54You know, I had to pay her off just to never see her again.
00:49:58I was so angry.
00:50:04I didn't want to see anyone.
00:50:05And that's when the rumors started.
00:50:07Recluse billionaire.
00:50:09Gideon Maslow.
00:50:10Must be hard to hear people say that about you.
00:50:14No, I didn't care what they said anymore.
00:50:17You know, I had given up on love.
00:50:20But I had never given up on an heir.
00:50:22You know, I'm not going to hurt you like she did.
00:50:26You really can trust me.
00:50:28Can I tell you a secret?
00:50:35I think I believe you.
00:50:36Well, you know, I think I did.
00:53:02Really?
00:53:03I wondered why we never heard from you.
00:53:05We're nearly ready to send you some options.
00:53:08No, I'm very pleased with the one that you referred.
00:53:12Mr. Maslow, we never referred anyone.
00:53:15What do you mean?
00:53:19I'm working with Alice Gardner.
00:53:21Who's Alice Gardner?
00:53:23Is everything okay?
00:53:32I just got off the phone with Brenda.
00:53:36Parkside surrogacy.
00:53:38Gideon.
00:53:39I thought you said that I can trust you.
00:53:41God, I almost believed you.
00:53:43All the while you've been lying to my face.
00:53:46Gideon, just let me explain.
00:53:47You are just like the rest of them.
00:53:49You know that you are...
00:53:51You're just like her.
00:53:53Okay, you're right.
00:53:54I'm no different than her.
00:53:55I lied to get close to you and I was only in it for the money.
00:53:58But somewhere along the way, things changed.
00:54:00Okay, I fell in love with you.
00:54:03Gideon, I'm in love with you.
00:54:06That's what Krista said too.
00:54:08I don't know what to say to make you believe me.
00:54:10Don't try, because it's not going to work.
00:54:13But I thought that having a contract would finally take the complications out of everything,
00:54:18letting me finally get an heir to my estate.
00:54:21God, you violated it from the start.
00:54:24You don't want an heir, Gideon.
00:54:26You want a child.
00:54:27You want to be a dad and to have a family.
00:54:29And deep down, you know that I don't want to leave when the money is paid.
00:54:33I want to stay and I want to have a family with you.
00:54:37You're not scared that it's fake.
00:54:40You're scared that it might actually be real this time.
00:54:44I feel sorry for you, Gideon.
00:54:47You have everything in this world.
00:54:50And you're gonna end up with nothing.
00:55:03Oh, I didn't know you were here.
00:55:11I was gonna make the bed.
00:55:15Looks like you already did.
00:55:17Hmm, looks like I already did.
00:55:23I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:55:25I know you were really hoping she would be the one.
00:55:28But I guess she was just another one.
00:55:32It makes me question if I could be of assistance.
00:55:38Not unless you can get me an heir.
00:55:40That's actually exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:55:45The last thing I want to do is overstep.
00:55:50It would be my nightmare to learn that I've crossed some sort of boundary.
00:55:54But I think Alice has confused you.
00:55:57Somewhere along the way, she got in your head and made it all mushy-gushy.
00:56:01What happened to you, Gideon?
00:56:04Gideon, you want an heir?
00:56:06Then you need someone you can trust.
00:56:09Someone 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.
00:56:25You really want an heir?
00:56:28The Gideon I know would put one inside me right now.
00:56:34No, she didn't confuse me.
00:56:52She colored me in.
00:56:55Shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:57:01It's never simple with you, is it?
00:57:11I guess not.
00:57:14But I won't be making that mistake again.
00:57:18Which mistake is that?
00:57:21Poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin?
00:57:27Falling in love.
00:57:36Okay.
00:57:38I am going to do something that is very unlike me and actually give a shit for a second.
00:57:46Gideon, aside from the doctor that delivered you, I have known you longer than anyone on this planet.
00:57:55And once I finally kill that doctor, it'll be just me.
00:57:58Through all the parties, all the success, and all the women, I've never seen you as happy as when you are with Alice.
00:58:07I know she lied to you.
00:58:12She lied to me from the very beginning, from the absolute onset.
00:58:16Everything was built on a lie.
00:58:18But if you are going to trust something, trust your heart, do you really want to lose her?
00:58:30Is it really worth that?
00:58:35So it was never real?
00:58:38It wasn't.
00:58:40Why didn't you tell me?
00:58:43I didn't think you'd understand.
00:58:45You try to protect me way too much, Alice.
00:58:48That's my job.
00:58:49And you've done a good job.
00:58:51You fixed my broken heart.
00:58:54But now I can do all the things that we dreamed about when we were kids.
00:58:58I don't need a mom.
00:59:01I need a sister.
00:59:03I love you so much.
00:59:06Can I tell you something?
00:59:09Always.
00:59:10I really loved him too.
00:59:28Hey.
00:59:29Hi.
00:59:30Well, I'm going to go to my room.
00:59:44Be nice.
00:59:45Hi.
00:59:48I'm sorry for lying to you.
00:59:50No, I'm sorry for giving it all up and wanting to throw it all away.
00:59:56That's not what you do, you know, when you love someone.
01:00:01I love you, Alice.
01:00:05I love you, Gideon.
01:00:08I want to be with you and I want a family with you and-
01:00:11That's what I want.
01:00:12I want you forever.
01:00:14What is that?
01:00:29I felt a bit weird this morning, so I thought I'd check.
01:00:35Thank you so much.
