Short filmTranscript
00:00:00When a mysterious billionaire asks you to marry him for a year and give him an heir,
00:00:04what do you say? He offered me $10 million. I needed the money to pay for my little brother's
00:00:11heart surgery. I couldn't say no. So I moved into his mansion and slowly I got to know him.
00:00:19His likes, his dislikes, his smile, those lips. The man behind the six foot five perfect body,
00:00:26the heart he liked to pretend he didn't have. And eventually I started to realize
00:00:32I wanted this baby and the strange little family we'd become. I wanted him. But my year with Gideon
00:00:40Maslow was coming to an end. Was it possible he felt the same way?
00:00:56Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:26Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:01:33What does that mean?
00:01:39It means I only want to think about you.
00:01:47My little dove.
00:01:56So you're interested in becoming a surrogate?
00:02:16Well, I can't think of anything more fulfilling than bringing new life into this world.
00:02:20That's beautiful, sweetheart. Did you bring everything I asked for?
00:02:25Oh, yes. Medical records, blood work, it's all there.
00:02:31Everything seems to be in order. You're young, you're healthy. I can already think of several
00:02:37clients who would love you.
00:02:38Oh, that's great. It's a huge relief, honestly.
00:02:41Oh, but honey, wait. Your medical records are missing the details of your previous birth.
00:02:47Previous birth?
00:02:48To be a surrogate, you need to have given birth before.
00:02:51It was in the literature we sent over.
00:02:53No, please.
00:02:55Perhaps you can consider egg donation.
00:02:57That doesn't pay enough.
00:02:58Oh, sweetheart, egg donation is still a beautiful way to help bring new life into the world.
00:03:04Let me get you a pamphlet.
00:03:35Hey, cutie.
00:03:38Hey.
00:03:39Oh, no. Don't get up.
00:03:41It's fine.
00:03:42How are you feeling?
00:03:44Well, I can't live like this much longer.
00:03:46Come on, don't say that.
00:03:47I'm supposed to start college in three months.
00:03:49And instead, I'm here, rotting on a couch.
00:03:53You just have to take things easy until we...
00:03:55I know, I know.
00:03:56By the way, um...
00:04:02Have you heard of someone named Gideon Maslow?
00:04:06Yeah, of course.
00:04:08He's the CEO of Maslow Enterprises.
00:04:10He's a billionaire.
00:04:12Why?
00:04:12I just saw the name somewhere.
00:04:20Who is this?
00:04:23Hi, uh, this is Alice Gardner.
00:04:25The Parkside Surrogacy Agency referred me.
00:04:28Okay.
00:04:30I'm here to help you have a baby.
00:04:32They were supposed to send me a selection of women to choose from.
00:04:36Well, the agency is confident that I'm the best choice.
00:04:39Well, I can't speak about this now.
00:04:41My house tomorrow.
00:04:42I'll send a car.
00:04:43Sure, I'll text you my...
00:04:46Can I help you?
00:05:16Hi, yes.
00:05:17I'm here to see Mr. Maslow.
00:05:19I have an appointment.
00:05:20Oh, you must be Miss Gardner.
00:05:22Sorry, I thought you were selling something.
00:05:25What would I be selling?
00:05:27I wasn't sure.
00:05:29Ill-fitting jackets.
00:05:35Alice, I see you met my house manager, Helga.
00:05:44Follow me.
00:05:46Sign.
00:05:53Sign.
00:05:59What is it?
00:06:00It's a non-disclosure agreement.
00:06:03Guys usually offer to buy me a drink first.
00:06:06Anything that I say in this meeting will not be repeated, or else I will unleash a legal firestorm
00:06:14on your ass, the likes of which you couldn't even imagine.
00:06:18Your lawyers are going to need lawyers, and their lawyers are going to need lawyers.
00:06:23Okay, jeez, I get it.
00:06:25You could've just asked me to pinky-promise.
00:06:29I take those very seriously.
00:06:31All right.
00:06:33Let's get down to business.
00:06:36I need a surrogate of sorts.
00:06:39Of sorts?
00:06:41My proposition is a bit unconventional.
00:06:45I need to hire someone to marry me and give birth to my heir.
00:06:50I'm sorry, what?
00:06:55What?
00:06:56What?
00:06:57Oh.
00:06:58You're one of those billionaires.
00:07:01Freaky psychopath.
00:07:02Well, the marriage would be a temporary situation.
00:07:05After the birth of my son.
00:07:07Your son?
00:07:08Or whatever.
00:07:09After the birth of my heir.
00:07:11We'll divorce, he'll retain visitation rights, but the marriage has to appear real for at least
00:07:17one year.
00:07:18Why?
00:07:19If I want my heir to eventually take over the company, he has to maintain my family's pristine
00:07:25reputation.
00:07:26See, the community would never accept a bastard.
00:07:30I don't get it.
00:07:32You have money and a nice face and a great body and you are tall, like how tall are you?
00:07:39Why can't you just find a real wife?
00:07:41I don't get out much.
00:07:44I enjoy the solitude.
00:07:47And enjoy paying people to have sex with you?
00:07:49Who said anything about sex?
00:07:51I know how husbands and wives make babies.
00:07:54No, we would take the medical approach.
00:07:56This is a business proposition, not a romantic one.
00:08:01These days, marriages, they're all financial relationships anyways.
00:08:05We would just be settling ours up front.
00:08:11I'm sorry, I can't do this.
00:08:13I agreed to have a child for you, not to have a child with you.
00:08:2010 million dollars.
00:08:3010 million dollars?
00:08:3210 million dollars.
00:08:33Okay.
00:08:34Okay.
00:08:35Okay.
00:08:36I'll do it.
00:08:37Well, you can take your time and think.
00:08:39No, it's all right.
00:08:40Where do I sign?
00:08:41No, slow down, Alice.
00:08:42I still have to think about it.
00:08:44You're the first woman that I interviewed for the position.
00:08:47Well, look no further.
00:08:48You've found me, Mrs. Gideon Maslow.
00:08:51You really like the sound of all that money, don't you?
00:08:55No, I don't like it.
00:08:57I need it.
00:09:03My brother has a hole in his heart.
00:09:05He needs surgery and the longer we wait, the less chance he has at making a full recovery.
00:09:09So why don't you ask your parents for the money?
00:09:14It's not an option.
00:09:16Look, I'll be the best fake wife you've ever had.
00:09:19Okay?
00:09:20Please?
00:09:22Please?
00:09:25All right.
00:09:30We'll call it highly motivated.
00:09:32I like that in a business partner.
00:09:35You're hired.
00:09:37I promise you, it's all quite standard.
00:09:43Hmm, yes, quite.
00:09:46It says here that I don't get the money until the baby is born.
00:09:49Yes, but I will front the cost of Nico's surgery.
00:09:53And all your day-to-day expenses will be taken care of.
00:09:56I have to live with you?
00:09:58I told you, the relationship has to appear real.
00:10:03Well, then Nico needs to live here, too.
00:10:06My brother can't be alone.
00:10:08All right.
00:10:11Now what?
00:10:13Why aren't you signing?
00:10:18I want you to meet him first.
00:10:21Well, send the car.
00:10:22No, no.
00:10:23I can't have him leave the house.
00:10:24Is he a kid or is he a dog?
00:10:27He's sick, Gideon.
00:10:29All right.
00:10:30Well, I don't leave the estate.
00:10:31So if you want me to meet him, you'll bring him here.
00:10:35Alice has told me a lot about you.
00:10:37You're lucky.
00:10:38She just told me she was dating you.
00:10:41Well, everything that I do has a way of ending up in the press.
00:10:44So I asked her to keep our romance quiet, I hope.
00:10:48Well, I hope you can forgive me.
00:10:50Yeah, I think I can forgive anyone with a house this big.
00:10:53Don't get too excited your heart.
00:11:00Karen, what are you doing here?
00:11:05Can't drop in to surprise my big brother?
00:11:08No, it's not a good time.
00:11:10I have guests.
00:11:12How was I supposed to know you've never had a guest?
00:11:16That's not true, Alice.
00:11:18This is my very funny brother, Karen.
00:11:21It's good to meet you.
00:11:22Jenny.
00:11:23Hi.
00:11:26And you are?
00:11:28Oh, I'm his girlfriend.
00:11:35Oh.
00:11:36So you two have been dating how long?
00:11:43I don't think it's been so long.
00:11:46I'm pretty sure I mentioned Alice to you.
00:11:50Pretty sure you did.
00:11:52No, I'm pretty sure I have.
00:11:54Hey, how about we take a walk outside, take a walk around the grounds?
00:11:59It's a beautiful day today.
00:12:04But you think that, like, maybe there would be enough more?
00:12:07I think everyone buys it.
00:12:11Do Karen and Jenny have kids?
00:12:12They've been trying for some years, but, I mean, it's a sensitive topic.
00:12:16It's hard to hear that.
00:12:18Somebody's got to carry on the Maslow name.
00:12:22I'll give it my best shot.
00:12:26Alice?
00:12:27No, I'm good.
00:12:28I'm good.
00:12:29Nico?
00:12:31Uh, your brother!
00:12:33Nico, no!
00:12:44His pulse is steady.
00:12:47Nico, can you hear me?
00:12:48It's okay.
00:12:49Open your eyes.
00:12:50Breathe.
00:12:51Breathe.
00:12:58Oh, my God.
00:12:59I am so sorry.
00:13:00I, I, I, I, I, I think I just got a little overexcited.
00:13:03You got nothing to be sorry about.
00:13:04It's fine.
00:13:05I can keep walking.
00:13:06Absolutely not.
00:13:07We're going to the hospital.
00:13:08Hayden, are you going to be okay to drive?
00:13:09I told you he shouldn't have come here.
00:13:10Alice!
00:13:11Alice!
00:13:12It's good that he's getting some rest.
00:13:14What did the lab say?
00:13:15His condition is getting worse.
00:13:16We need to take a more aggressive approach with this treatment.
00:13:17He should stay in the hospital until he's strong enough for surgery.
00:13:18He should stay in the hospital until he's strong enough for surgery.
00:13:23It's good that he's getting some rest.
00:13:36What did the lab say?
00:13:38His condition is getting worse.
00:13:40We need to take a more aggressive approach with this treatment.
00:13:44He should stay in the hospital until he's strong enough for surgery.
00:13:49You want him to live here full time?
00:13:51We'll make sure that he's very comfortable.
00:13:55And you can visit him whenever you like.
00:13:59Have you been able to figure out a payment plan?
00:14:04I've brokered a deal with the devil.
00:14:07Just have to sign it.
00:14:15I thought I'd never see you again.
00:14:17Do you have a pen?
00:14:21Helga will be overseeing your transition into the house.
00:14:29Welcome to the Maslow Estate.
00:14:31Must be exciting.
00:14:34Our bedroom is over there.
00:14:37It's all very nice.
00:14:40I work long hours, so try to keep quiet.
00:14:43I'll be spending most days at the hospital with Nico anyways.
00:14:46Hey, what's in here?
00:14:55Hey.
00:14:56You can have your run of the house.
00:14:58But that room is completely off limits.
00:15:02You understand?
00:15:04I do.
00:15:05Helga, help Alice get situated.
00:15:22I have to make a phone call.
00:15:23Of course, Mr. Maslow.
00:15:27Thanks for all your help.
00:15:28Of course, anything for Gideon.
00:15:30He must do a really great job as house manager.
00:15:34I mean, he never wants to leave this place.
00:15:38Gideon is a very complicated and brilliant man.
00:15:43I'm sure he is.
00:15:45I've stood by him through great joy and great sorrow.
00:15:49That's nice.
00:15:52And sorrowful.
00:15:53Please, feel free to call on me for anything that you need.
00:15:58I'll be nearby.
00:15:59All the time.
00:16:01Keeping an eye on you.
00:16:20I thought you'd be asleep.
00:16:23Restless, I guess.
00:16:28So, how was your first day at the house?
00:16:32I don't think Helga likes me very much.
00:16:36You know, she's been with me for years.
00:16:38She's very loyal.
00:16:40Yeah, she mentioned something about that.
00:16:44You know, I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:47You know, I think you need to get some sleep.
00:16:49Because stress is bad for baby making.
00:16:51Our appointment is tomorrow.
00:16:55Are you going to come with me?
00:16:57I sent my sample to the doctor already.
00:16:59So he's just going to insert it into you?
00:17:03How romantic.
00:17:03So he's going to make.
00:17:22So, you know, I think.
00:17:23He's going to message you.
00:17:32To be continued...
00:18:02To be continued...
00:18:32To be continued...
00:19:02Ms. Cardinal...
00:19:08This room is off-limits to guests.
00:19:12I'm not a guest.
00:19:13You heard Mr. Maslow.
00:19:21I'm not a guest.
00:19:23I'm not a guest.
00:19:27I'm not a guest.
00:19:29I'm not a guest.
00:19:31I'm not a guest.
00:19:32I'm not a guest.
00:19:33I'm not a guest.
00:19:37I'm not a guest.
00:19:38I'm not a guest.
00:19:43Oh, thank you.
00:19:47You know, I've become such a fast reader these last few weeks.
00:19:53See? Perks of taking it easy.
00:19:55Exactly.
00:19:56Who needs friends when you have your sister's old books?
00:19:59Ha. Bunny.
00:20:03Really, I'm super proud of how seriously you're taking this recovery.
00:20:07Yeah, anything to get me back to real life faster.
00:20:11I hate to break it to you, buddy, but this is a lot more like real life than whatever you're missing over summer break.
00:20:18How is this real life?
00:20:20Having your priorities straight, compromising on joy because it's what you have to do,
00:20:26it doesn't get more real life than that, babe.
00:20:30Looking good, isn't he?
00:20:31You've done great work.
00:20:33Well, I take tips.
00:20:36I'm a little strapped for cash at the moment, saving up for a big surgery.
00:20:40Speaking of, we were able to set a date.
00:20:45The nurse will go over everything with you, but we're looking pretty good.
00:20:49Nico's on the up and up.
00:21:05So Helga told me you went snooping.
00:21:07What a tattletale.
00:21:08I gave you access to every other room in the house.
00:21:09You couldn't respect my one wish?
00:21:10Have you ever heard the story of Bluebeard?
00:21:11Obviously not.
00:21:12Okay.
00:21:13Well, it's a folk tale about a woman who marries an older man named Bluebeard.
00:21:14She moves in with him, and he allows her access to every room in the house except for one.
00:21:16Sound familiar?
00:21:17So what?
00:21:18So it turns out he had the corpses of six other wives stuffed in the room.
00:21:25You think I went through all this just to kill you?
00:21:27There's easier ways of doing that and much more fun ones.
00:21:31Well, when you tell me something is off limits, I'm going to assume the worst.
00:21:32You are so stubborn.
00:21:33You did not disclose that in the contract before we signed it.
00:21:34Well, you're a secretive.
00:21:35You didn't mention that.
00:21:36And I don't think you're really 6'5".
00:21:37Well, I don't think you're really 6'5".
00:21:39No.
00:21:40I'm, I'm 6'5".
00:21:41Come on, Gideon.
00:21:42You can trust me.
00:21:43No.
00:21:44Go on, Gideon.
00:21:45No.
00:21:46Come on.
00:21:47No.
00:21:48You're on.
00:21:49Come on, Gideon.
00:21:50You can trust me.
00:21:51No.
00:21:52I messed with you.
00:21:53I'm a secretive.
00:21:54No.
00:21:55I'm not.
00:21:56You're richest.
00:21:57I'm not.
00:21:58You're a secretive.
00:21:59I'm a secretive.
00:22:00No.
00:22:01No.
00:22:02No.
00:22:03No.
00:22:04No.
00:22:05No.
00:22:06Who is she, the woman in the painting?
00:22:10She's the reason why I won't trust you,
00:22:13or any other woman for that matter.
00:22:36Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:22:52Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:22:58What does that mean?
00:22:59That means I only want to think about you.
00:23:11My little dove.
00:23:29What the?
00:23:32What the?
00:23:47Hey!
00:24:00Hello.
00:24:01Crazy how we live in the same house
00:24:03and I can still go days without seeing you.
00:24:05Big house.
00:24:07Gets lonely.
00:24:09Pancakes?
00:24:11Pancakes.
00:24:12Want some?
00:24:13No, I'm more of a waffle man.
00:24:14You know, there's more surface area for the syrup.
00:24:17Here, try one.
00:24:19It's good.
00:24:20I promise.
00:24:26It's my secret recipe.
00:24:31It's good, right?
00:24:33It's good.
00:24:35It's really good.
00:24:36You're not going to have it?
00:24:38No, I had the craziest craving for them this morning,
00:24:40but now my stomach feels a little weird.
00:24:43Alice.
00:24:44Hmm.
00:24:45You think?
00:24:47Do you have a test?
00:24:49I don't know.
00:24:50I don't know.
00:24:51I don't know.
00:24:52I don't know.
00:24:53I don't know.
00:24:54I don't know.
00:24:55I don't know.
00:24:56I don't know.
00:24:57I don't know.
00:24:58I don't know.
00:24:59I don't know.
00:25:01I don't know.
00:25:09What's it say?
00:25:12Negative.
00:25:13Damn.
00:25:14I really thought it would work.
00:25:16I'll get a better doctor.
00:25:19You know, maybe we need to do an egg retrieval first,
00:25:21create an embryo, and plant it back into you.
00:25:25That could take months.
00:25:26But you signed the contract.
00:25:28You knew you were in this for the long haul.
00:25:30Oh, I know.
00:25:31I'm just bummed that it didn't work.
00:25:35Oh, yeah.
00:25:37No, me too.
00:25:40You know, there are other ways I could get pregnant that
00:25:44involves less needles and plastic cups and hospital gowns.
00:26:00Oh, yeah?
00:26:02Birds do it.
00:26:04Bees do it.
00:26:05I mean, why can't we do it?
00:26:07I mean, why can't we do it?
00:26:13No, Alice, I'm not paying you to have sex with me.
00:26:17I know, but you are paying me to have a child with you.
00:26:19And this could really increase our chances.
00:26:22No, Alice, sex, it complicates things.
00:26:25Of course it does, when feelings are involved.
00:26:27But we are two business partners with a goal.
00:26:30And sex could be the solution.
00:26:32Aren't you a little bit curious?
00:26:35Aren't you a little bit curious?
00:26:38Yeah, I'm curious.
00:26:40I know you don't trust women or whatever, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have any pleasure.
00:26:46And you must find me a little attractive.
00:26:50I mean, you want your heir to have half of my genes.
00:26:54You sure that's what you really want to do?
00:26:57I'm sure.
00:27:04There's just one thing you should know.
00:27:06Yeah? What is it?
00:27:08I'm a virgin.
00:27:11What?
00:27:16How?
00:27:18Our parents died when I was 17.
00:27:21I didn't have time to date if I wasn't working or I was with Nico.
00:27:25So you haven't been on one date?
00:27:28Men have asked me out, yeah.
00:27:30But they didn't understand why I couldn't leave my brother.
00:27:33And I didn't want to bring strangers back to our apartment.
00:27:36Look, this is the first time in my life where I haven't been worried about money.
00:27:42About how I'm going to pay rent.
00:27:44I'm going to pay Nico's next medical bill.
00:27:46For once in my life, I can finally think about what I might want.
00:27:50What I might desire.
00:27:54So you were going to have my baby and you've never had sex before?
00:27:58I know.
00:27:59I'm a saint.
00:28:00The Virgin Mary.
00:28:02What, does this void the deal?
00:28:07I should have told you.
00:28:12Yes, you should have told me.
00:28:14Hey, where are you going?
00:28:18I, uh, I have to think.
00:28:24Hello, brother.
00:28:26It's unlike you to have me over on a work day.
00:28:29I have a problem.
00:28:32Alice.
00:28:33Oh.
00:28:35A mystery girlfriend.
00:28:37Yeah, she's a, uh, a virgin.
00:28:41There's a twist.
00:28:43I'm very surprised.
00:28:57She's quite pretty.
00:28:59It's just a little more responsibility than I was prepared for.
00:29:03I know it's been a while since you've been with anyone, but I'm sure you remember how to do it.
00:29:11In fact, if I remember correctly, Ginny Mills was a virgin and he slept with her.
00:29:15So was I, and we were 16.
00:29:18Just take it slow.
00:29:19Right?
00:29:20Come on.
00:29:21Just wine and diner.
00:29:23Ah, Gideon.
00:29:25You're going to have to behave like a gentleman.
00:29:33What will you do?
00:29:43Hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?
00:29:45No, I knew I shouldn't have told you.
00:29:47Just hold on a second.
00:29:48No, I should have known better.
00:29:50It's a mistake.
00:29:51Every time someone finds out, they look at me different.
00:29:53Like, like I'm something fragile.
00:29:55They're afraid of breaking.
00:29:56No, hey, please don't tell me what's going on in my own mind.
00:30:01Look me in the eyes and tell me you didn't change your opinion of me.
00:30:04No, truthfully, I don't know.
00:30:06I don't know how I, I don't know how I feel about it.
00:30:08I mean, it was certainly surprising.
00:30:09Bullshit.
00:30:10Alice?
00:30:11Just slow down, okay?
00:30:14Is that fair?
00:30:21Fair?
00:30:23How about I take you for a drink?
00:30:27I thought you don't leave the house.
00:30:31Secret bar.
00:30:36Very James Bond.
00:30:38Yeah, I don't think it's such a, a bad thing.
00:30:44That you being a virgin and all.
00:30:46I think that it points to some level of discipline.
00:30:51Can we talk about something else?
00:30:54It's been a while since I've been on a date.
00:30:57I'm a bit rusty.
00:31:00So what do you do locked away here all the time?
00:31:03Dress up in costumes and fight crime?
00:31:06Well, it helps to have a full bar next to the living room.
00:31:10So you really never leave?
00:31:13Never.
00:31:15Never.
00:31:16Not even on a drive?
00:31:17Not even on a drive.
00:31:19Wild.
00:31:21There are benefits though.
00:31:23Like?
00:31:25I don't normally tell people this, but I make the greatest martini in the entire world.
00:31:37Oh yeah?
00:31:39Prove it.
00:31:43Well, I'll give it to you.
00:31:45That is a damn good drink.
00:31:47Have you ever even had a martini?
00:31:50No.
00:31:51But I'm from Iowa and we know drinking.
00:31:55Thank you, bartender.
00:31:57So what brings you to this bar so late at night?
00:32:01Well, you know, I was supposed to meet someone here.
00:32:05Was he a good looking guy?
00:32:07No.
00:32:08No.
00:32:09No.
00:32:10No.
00:32:11No.
00:32:12No.
00:32:13No.
00:32:14No.
00:32:15No.
00:32:16No.
00:32:17No.
00:32:18No.
00:32:19No.
00:32:20No.
00:32:21No.
00:32:22No.
00:32:23No.
00:32:24No.
00:32:25Well, he certainly seems to think so.
00:32:28You been working here long?
00:32:30No.
00:32:31I took it over for my father.
00:32:34Yeah?
00:32:36Yeah.
00:32:38I grew up in this house.
00:32:40God, I thought I told you that.
00:32:46No.
00:32:47But you didn't really tell me anything.
00:32:49Well, when my parents died, I, um, I took over the estate.
00:32:56Are we sleeping in their bed?
00:32:59No, no, absolutely not.
00:33:01Well, I mean, maybe the mattress bed.
00:33:03Oh, very sexy.
00:33:05Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to be sexy.
00:33:09Well, it would certainly help pass the time.
00:33:19Oh, my God.
00:33:49How was that?
00:33:56It didn't pass much time.
00:34:19Are you sure you want this?
00:34:28I'm sure.
00:34:28There's no pressure to feel any kind of way.
00:34:36And if it hurts or anything, I'll follow you, all right?
00:34:45You take control.
00:34:46Does that sound okay?
00:34:47I want you to take control.
00:34:51Good morning.
00:35:12Oh, hey.
00:35:15Good morning.
00:35:17You feeling okay?
00:35:19Yeah.
00:35:19That was good, right?
00:35:26Oh, yeah.
00:35:27It was really good.
00:35:28We could have another drink tonight.
00:35:34I actually forgot to tell you.
00:35:35We're going to have dinner with Karen and Jenny tonight.
00:35:38Dinner?
00:35:38Okay, but why?
00:35:44Well, I mean, we have to seem like a big, happy family.
00:35:46Well, if we're getting divorced in a year, we don't have to appear that happy.
00:35:50Well, no.
00:35:50I mean, we can't have any cracks in our story.
00:35:53I love my brother, but I mean, he's got a loud mouth, and Jenny will say anything about
00:35:58everything.
00:35:59Well, then we better get our story straight.
00:36:01If we're going to get grilled, we should be on the same page.
00:36:03I'm sure.
00:36:04We could practice.
00:36:06I mean, our brother isn't exactly Columbo, and Jenny and Helga are harmless.
00:36:12Helga's coming?
00:36:14Yeah, she says she wanted to get to know you.
00:36:17She has it out for me.
00:36:18It's one night.
00:36:19We can get through one night.
00:36:22Soup's almost ready.
00:36:28Just another few minutes.
00:36:30Thank you, Helga.
00:36:34It's nice to get some face time with you, Alice.
00:36:37I've been wanting to get to know you better.
00:36:39Well, you know what they say?
00:36:40You don't know someone until you see them eat.
00:36:44How do you eat, Alice?
00:36:50You want me to spoil the surprise?
00:36:51I'll tell you how I eat.
00:36:55Until I'm full.
00:36:57Can attest to that.
00:36:59So tell us, how did you and Gideon meet?
00:37:02And the questions begin before you even hire appetizers.
00:37:05It'll be another few minutes.
00:37:07What were you saying, Gideon, about how you two met?
00:37:11Well, dear, would you like me to, or would you like to?
00:37:14Well, I just love the way you tell it.
00:37:16All right.
00:37:17Well, it's a very funny story, actually.
00:37:21We met at a charity event a few years ago, and then we happened to come across each other
00:37:25online a few months ago.
00:37:29What's funny about that?
00:37:32The way life works sometimes.
00:37:35Well, honey, you forgot the funniest part about how later that night you accidentally tripped me.
00:37:41Oh, and then she dropped her champagne glass.
00:37:48What event was it?
00:37:52What charity event was it?
00:37:53The one for the opera.
00:38:02I remember this.
00:38:04I literally remember Gideon telling me that he tripped someone.
00:38:08Don't you remember, Kieran?
00:38:09I told you about this.
00:38:10You know, I just don't remember you in our circle.
00:38:16You don't seem like the type.
00:38:18Why am I not high class enough?
00:38:24I didn't mean that.
00:38:26No, it's okay.
00:38:27I get it.
00:38:28I would be worried, too, if I thought someone was trying to take advantage of my family.
00:38:33I know you have a lot to protect, and I don't come from a home like this.
00:38:39So you're right.
00:38:40I can't prove to you that I'm not some gold digger.
00:38:43All I can do is promise you that Gideon and I, we know the truth, and we trust each other.
00:38:59You really are a special girl.
00:39:02I had my doubts, of course.
00:39:04I couldn't be sure of your intentions, especially with the way you walked in that first day.
00:39:09Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
00:39:11You two moved in together so quick, I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.
00:39:17You can imagine my relief when I saw the negative pregnancy test.
00:39:24Pregnancy test?
00:39:28Were you going through my trash?
00:39:31Of course not, Alice.
00:39:32Be reasonable.
00:39:34I was cleaning up the mess you made in your bathroom and didn't know what I was looking at until it was too late.
00:39:40Are you trying to get pregnant?
00:39:40Of course not, Kieran, but accidents happen.
00:39:43We are trying.
00:39:48Gideon, you don't think it's a little rushed?
00:39:51Of course it's rushed.
00:39:53No, it's not.
00:39:54And how is that?
00:39:55Because we...
00:39:58It's okay, you can tell if I'm Gideon.
00:40:02I asked him to keep it as a surprise, but we're getting married.
00:40:09What?
00:40:14When is this happening?
00:40:15Um, next week?
00:40:21And you're sure this is something you want to do?
00:40:23Well, in that case, welcome to the family, Alice.
00:40:40Soup's on.
00:40:41I'm sorry, I told everyone we're getting married.
00:40:47I panicked.
00:40:48They were going to find out sooner or later.
00:40:50You know, now we need to pull together a quick wedding.
00:40:53Sounds easy enough.
00:40:55Oh, we got to get Nico cleared for a couple hours from the hospital.
00:40:59Why?
00:41:01Don't you want your brother there?
00:41:02How would that help the plan?
00:41:07No, I mean, don't you want your brother at the wedding?
00:41:12Now's not a good time.
00:41:14And besides, he'll be there when I get married for real one day.
00:41:20Yeah, no, that's fine.
00:41:21I got to get a...prepared...
00:41:25You got to get a dress.
00:41:32I almost forgot.
00:41:58Need help?
00:42:00I think I got it.
00:42:01Please, let me help.
00:42:03That's what I'm here for.
00:42:08Are you nervous?
00:42:10Why would I be nervous?
00:42:11It's your wedding day.
00:42:14Right.
00:42:15I'm actually fine.
00:42:17Gideon's a great guy.
00:42:19I'm aware.
00:42:20I just mean there's nothing to be nervous about.
00:42:24I'm happy for you.
00:42:25Both of you.
00:42:27But especially you.
00:42:29What an amazing accomplishment.
00:42:31You should take your seat.
00:42:33The ceremony's starting soon, and I want to make sure you have a great view.
00:42:37It's bad luck to see each other before the wedding.
00:42:56I know.
00:42:57I think I can afford it.
00:43:00Why's that?
00:43:01Hold on one second.
00:43:03I've got a surprise for you.
00:43:09Congratulations.
00:43:16What are you doing here?
00:43:18It's your big day.
00:43:19We thought we'd surprise you.
00:43:21We?
00:43:22Me and Gideon.
00:43:23Hey, hey, hey.
00:43:31Think about how happy Mom and Dad would be to see us right now.
00:43:35Two orphans all grown up.
00:43:36Why did you get so old?
00:43:44We both got old way too young.
00:43:48I love that you're here.
00:43:50Okay, but nothing is worth risking your health.
00:43:54You're all I got, you know that?
00:43:58Not anymore.
00:43:58You're sure you're okay to sit through the whole ceremony?
00:44:05Oh, yeah.
00:44:06Definitely good enough to have a few drinks later.
00:44:08Let's get you wifed.
00:44:09Do you, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband, promising to love and cherish
00:44:20through joy and sorrow, through sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face
00:44:25as long as you both shall live?
00:44:28I do.
00:44:32And do you, Gideon, take Alice to be your lawfully wedded wife, promising to love and cherish
00:44:37through joy and sorrow, sickness and health, and whatever challenges you may face as long
00:44:42as you both shall live?
00:44:44I do.
00:44:46Would you please exchange rings?
00:44:48By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:45:10You may kiss the bride.
00:45:12I do.
00:45:16And you're so beautiful.
00:45:46You have no idea how mad I am at you.
00:46:06You were incredible today.
00:46:10Have you ever even heard of a boundary?
00:46:13Come on, I've closed nine-figure deals on seven continents.
00:46:18Of course I've heard of boundaries.
00:46:20I just, I don't know, I thought you'd be more appreciative.
00:46:24How? You totally ignored what I said.
00:46:28Because it wasn't what you wanted.
00:46:30What I want is for Nico to be healthy for his surgery.
00:46:33You jeopardized his health.
00:46:35Do you know how big of a violation that is?
00:46:37He's fine.
00:46:38Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:46:41He's gonna get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow.
00:46:43You're not his father.
00:46:44You're not his mother.
00:46:50Alice.
00:46:51No, I don't want to see you.
00:46:53I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want.
00:46:57Tell her we're fighting.
00:46:59No, Alice.
00:47:00Today's the day.
00:47:17First day of the rest of my life.
00:47:19Or the last, we'll see.
00:47:22God, I hate when you say stuff like that.
00:47:24I'm just joking.
00:47:25Relax.
00:47:26It'll be fine.
00:47:31So, where's your husband?
00:47:32You know, he doesn't leave the house much.
00:47:35Or at all, apparently.
00:47:38I was hoping he'd be with you.
00:47:41Well, don't worry about me.
00:47:43The doctor is gonna take you to the operating room soon,
00:47:46and I will be here the whole time.
00:47:48I know you will be.
00:47:49I know you will be.
00:48:14Gideon.
00:48:19You left the house.
00:48:21It was getting stuffy in there.
00:48:26What are you doing here?
00:48:27I just, I really want to be here with you.
00:48:49I'm a nervous wreck.
00:48:50He's gonna be fine.
00:48:52You want to know how I know?
00:48:54How?
00:48:56Because I think he promised.
00:49:01I take these so seriously.
00:49:03Alice?
00:49:18Yes?
00:49:19How is Eve?
00:49:21Nico's surgery was a huge success.
00:49:22They'll bring him in here in just a moment.
00:49:23Okay.
00:49:24Um, so everything went well?
00:49:25Better than we could have hoped for.
00:49:26We'll keep him for two more days, and then he'll be free to go home.
00:49:28Two days?
00:49:29Is that enough time?
00:49:30I want him to have around the clock medical care.
00:49:31What if there are complications?
00:49:33We don't foresee any complications.
00:49:35Money is not gonna be a concern.
00:49:37Whatever is takes is fine.
00:49:39Money's not a concern for us either.
00:49:40Then he'll be free to go home.
00:49:43Two days?
00:49:43Is that enough time?
00:49:45I want him to have around the clock medical care.
00:49:48What if there are complications?
00:49:49We don't foresee any complications.
00:49:52Money's not going to be a concern.
00:49:54Whatever it takes is fine.
00:49:55Money's not a concern for us either.
00:49:57The thing is, I don't think he needs to be here any longer.
00:50:01He'll make a speedy recovery.
00:50:10No, but I mean it is incredible because it's like strings as a mouse, right?
00:50:16What?
00:50:17Yes, that's what I'm saying.
00:50:36Gideon?
00:50:40What are you doing?
00:51:02I want this to be Nico's room.
00:51:06You don't have to do that.
00:51:08It's a big house.
00:51:09There are plenty of rooms.
00:51:10No.
00:51:12I'm ready to move on.
00:51:14To start over.
00:51:17Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:51:28Krista.
00:51:29She was quite the artist.
00:51:32Very famous.
00:51:33I'm sure you've heard of her.
00:51:35I'm absolutely sure I haven't.
00:51:39What happened between you two?
00:51:40She lied.
00:51:41She knew I wanted an heir.
00:51:44She had me fall in love with her.
00:51:47All the while knowing that she didn't want to become a mother.
00:51:51Women have always lied, even when I was a kid, they would lie just to come to see my house.
00:52:01And then as we grew up, it became more about the gifts and the vacations.
00:52:06And my point is, I'm used to it.
00:52:09What made her different?
00:52:12She really had me fooled.
00:52:21You know, I had to pay her off just to never see her again.
00:52:25I was so angry.
00:52:31I didn't want to see anyone.
00:52:34And that's when the rumors started.
00:52:36Recluse billionaire.
00:52:37Gideon Maslow.
00:52:40Must be hard to hear people say that about you.
00:52:42No, I didn't care what they said anymore.
00:52:45You know, I had given up on love.
00:52:48But I had never given up on an heir.
00:52:50You know, I'm not going to hurt you like she did.
00:52:55You really can trust me.
00:52:58Can I tell you a secret?
00:53:04I think I believe you.
00:53:06Can I tell you a secret?
