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.
00:13:22It's good that he's getting some rest.
00:13:36What did the lab say?
00:13:38His condition is getting worse.
00:13:41We 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.
00:15:39Gideon 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 just going with me.
00:17:15I don't know.
00:17:24I don't know.
00:17:25So I think...
00:17:26I don't know.
00:19:06Miss Cardinal.
00:19:09This room is off limits to guests.
00:19:12I'm not a guest.
00:19:19You heard Mr. Maslow.
00:19:26Oh, thank you.
00:19:50You know, I've become such a fast reader these last few weeks.
00:19:53See? Perks of taking it easy.
00:19:55Exactly. Who needs friends when you have your sister's old books?
00:19:59Ha. Funny.
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.
00:20:10I 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.
00:20:18How is this real life?
00:20:20Having your priorities straight, compromising on joy because it's what you have to do, it doesn't get more real life than that, babe.
00:20:28Looking 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.
00:20:38Saving up for a big surgery.
00:20:40Speaking of, we were able to set a date.
00:20:43The 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.
00:21:14I gave you access to every other room in the house.
00:21:16You couldn't respect my one wish?
00:21:17Have you ever heard the story of Bluebeard?
00:21:19Obviously not.
00:21:21Okay, well, it's a folk tale about a woman who marries an older man named Bluebeard.
00:21:25She moves in with him, and he allows her access to every room in the house except for one.
00:21:30Sound familiar?
00:21:31So what?
00:21:33So it turns out he had the corpses of six other wives stuffed in the room.
00:21:37You think I went through all this just to kill you?
00:21:41There's easier ways of doing that and much more fun ones.
00:21:45Well, when you tell me something is off limits, I'm going to assume the worst.
00:21:49You are so stubborn.
00:21:52You did not disclose that in the contract before we signed it.
00:21:55Well, you're a secretive.
00:21:57You didn't mention that.
00:21:59And I don't think you're really 6'5".
00:22:00No, I'm 6'5".
00:22:03Come on, Gideon.
00:22:04You can trust me.
00:22:07Who is she, the woman in the painting?
00:22:11She's the reason why I won't trust you, or any other woman for that matter.
00:22:15I'm so glad you're Watching.
00:22:17I'm so sorry.
00:22:44Why 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?
00:23:03It means I only want to think about you.
00:23:11My little dove.
00:23:14What the?
00:23:32What the?
00:23:34What the?
00:23:36What the?
00:23:38What the?
00:23:40What the?
00:23:42What the?
00:23:44What the?
00:23:46What the?
00:23:48What the?
00:23:58Hey.
00:24:00Hello.
00:24:01Crazy how we live in the same house and I can still go days without seeing you.
00:24:05Big house.
00:24:07Gets lonely.
00:24:09Pancakes?
00:24:10Pancakes.
00:24:11Want some?
00:24:12No, I'm more of a waffle man.
00:24:14You know, there's more surface area for the syrup.
00:24:17Here.
00:24:18Try one.
00:24:19It's good.
00:24:20I promise.
00:24:26It's my secret recipe.
00:24:27It's good, right?
00:24:28It's good.
00:24:29It's really good.
00:24:30You're not going to have it?
00:24:31No.
00:24:32I had the craziest craving for them this morning but now my stomach feels a little weird.
00:24:33Alice.
00:24:34You think?
00:24:38Do you have a test?
00:24:39Yes.
00:24:40No.
00:24:41No, I'm going to talk a bit more about it because I'm going to have it.
00:24:45It's good, right?
00:24:46It's good, right?
00:24:47It's good.
00:24:48It's really good.
00:24:49You're not going to have it?
00:24:50No, I had the craziest craving for them this morning but now my stomach feels a little
00:24:51weird.
00:24:52Alice.
00:24:54You think?
00:24:55You have a test?
00:24:59You think?
00:25:01What's it say?
00:25:12Negative.
00:25:14Damn.
00:25:15I really thought it would work.
00:25:17I'll get a better doctor.
00:25:19You know, maybe we need to do an egg retrieval first.
00:25:21Create an embryo.
00:25:23And 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.
00:25:36Yeah.
00:25:38No.
00:25:39Me too.
00:25:52You know, there are other ways I could get pregnant that involves less needles and plastic cups and hospital gowns.
00:26:01Oh, yeah?
00:26:03Birds do it.
00:26:05Bees do it.
00:26:06I mean, why can't we do it?
00:26:09No, 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, and this could really increase our chances.
00:26:22No, Alice, sex, it complicates things.
00:26:25Of course it does, when feelings are involved.
00:26:28But we are two business partners with a goal, and sex could be the solution.
00:26:33Aren'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.
00:26:51I mean, you want your heir to have half of my genes.
00:26:55You sure that's what you really want to do?
00:26:59I'm sure.
00:26:59There's just one thing you should know.
00:27:07Yeah?
00:27:08What is it?
00:27:10I'm a virgin.
00:27:15What?
00:27:15How?
00:27:19Our 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, and I didn't want to bring strangers back to our apartment.
00:27:37Look, 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, how I'm going to pay Nico's next medical bill.
00:27:47For once in my life, I can finally think about what I might want.
00:27:52What I might desire.
00:27:55So you were going to have my baby, and you've never had sex before?
00:27:59I know.
00:28:00I'm a saint.
00:28:01The Virgin Mary.
00:28:07What?
00:28:07Does this void the deal?
00:28:12I should have told you.
00:28:13Yes.
00:28:14You should have told me.
00:28:18Hey, where are you going?
00:28:22I, uh, I have to think.
00:28:33Hello, brother.
00:28:35It's unlike you to have me over on a work day.
00:28:38I have a problem.
00:28:39Um, Alice.
00:28:43Oh.
00:28:43The mystery girlfriend.
00:28:45Yeah, she's a, uh, a virgin.
00:28:52There's a twist.
00:28:56I'm very surprised.
00:28:58She's quite pretty.
00:29:01It's just a little more responsibility than I was prepared for.
00:29:05I 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.
00:29:16So was I, and we were 16.
00:29:18Let's take it slow.
00:29:20Right?
00:29:21Come on.
00:29:22Let's wine a diner.
00:29:24Ah, Gideon.
00:29:26You're gonna have to behave like a gentleman.
00:29:34What will you do?
00:29:35Hey, hey, 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.
00:29:49No, 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.
00:30:03No, truthfully, I don't know.
00:30:06I don't know how I feel about it.
00:30:08I mean, it was certainly surprising.
00:30:09Bullshit.
00:30:10Alice, just slow down, okay?
00:30:15Is that fair?
00:30:21Fair.
00:30:26How about I take you for a drink?
00:30:29I thought you don't leave the house.
00:30:33Secret bar.
00:30:37Very James Bond.
00:30:41Yeah, I don't think it's such a bad thing.
00:30:45Not 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.
00:30:58So what do you do locked away here all the time?
00:31:03Dress up in costumes and fight crime?
00:31:07Well, it helps to have a full bar next to the living room.
00:31:11So you really never leave?
00:31:14Never.
00:31:15Not even on a drive?
00:31:18Not even on a drive.
00:31:21Wild.
00:31:21There are benefits, though.
00:31:25Like?
00:31:28I don't normally tell people this,
00:31:31but I make the greatest martini in the entire world.
00:31:37Oh, yeah?
00:31:39Prove it.
00:31:40Well, I'll give it to you.
00:31:58That is a damn good drink.
00:32:00Have you ever even had a martini?
00:32:03No.
00:32:04But I'm from Iowa,
00:32:06and we know drinking.
00:32:09Thank you, bartender.
00:32:12So what brings you to this bar so late at night?
00:32:18Well, you know,
00:32:19I was supposed to meet someone here.
00:32:22Is he a good-looking guy?
00:32:25Well, he certainly seems to think so.
00:32:28You been working here long?
00:32:29No, I took it over from my father.
00:32:35Yeah?
00:32:37Yeah.
00:32:39I grew up in this house.
00:32:43God, I thought I told you that.
00:32:46No.
00:32:47But you don't really tell me anything.
00:32:51Well, when my parents died,
00:32:53I took over the estate.
00:32:56Are we sleeping in their bed?
00:32:58No, no.
00:33:00Absolutely not.
00:33:01Well, I mean, maybe the mattress pad.
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.
00:33:11Well, anyway,
00:33:20I didn't know if he was anything.
00:33:28I'm so sorry.
00:33:28How was that?
00:33:56It didn't pass much time.
00:33:58Are you sure you want this?
00:34:27It didn't pass much time.
00:34:28It didn't pass much time.
00:34:29It didn't pass much time.
00:34:30It didn't pass much time.
00:34:31It didn't pass much time.
00:34:32I'm sure you want this.
00:34:33I'm sure you want this.
00:34:34There's no pressure.
00:34:35I have to feel any kind of way, and if it hurts or anything.
00:34:37I'll follow you, Leigh.
00:34:38All right?
00:34:39You take control.
00:34:40Does that sound okay?
00:34:41I want you to take control.
00:34:42I'll follow you, Leigh.
00:34:43All right?
00:34:44You take control.
00:34:45Does that sound okay?
00:34:46I want you to take control.
00:34:53Good morning.
00:34:54Oh.
00:34:55Hey.
00:34:56Good morning.
00:34:57You feeling okay?
00:34:58Yeah.
00:34:59That was good, right?
00:35:04Oh, yeah.
00:35:05It was really good.
00:35:06We could have another drink tonight.
00:35:07I actually forgot to tell you.
00:35:08we're going to have dinner with Karen and Jenny tonight.
00:35:09Oh, good morning.
00:35:10Good morning.
00:35:11Oh, hey.
00:35:12Good morning.
00:35:13You feeling okay?
00:35:14Yeah.
00:35:15That was good, right?
00:35:19Oh, yeah.
00:35:20It was really good.
00:35:25We could have another drink tonight.
00:35:33I actually forgot to tell you.
00:35:35We're going to have dinner with Karen and Jenny tonight.
00:35:37Dinner.
00:35:38Okay, but why?
00:35:42Well, I mean, we have to seem like a big happy family.
00:35:45Well, if we're getting divorced in a year, we don't have to appear that happy.
00:35:49Well, no.
00:35:50I mean, we can't have any cracks in our story.
00:35:52I love my brother, but he's got a loud mouth.
00:35:55And Jenny will say anything about everything.
00:35:58Well, then we better get our story straight.
00:36:00If we're going to get grilled, we should be on the same page.
00:36:03I'm sure.
00:36:04We could practice.
00:36:05I mean, our brother isn't exactly Columbo.
00:36:08And Jenny and Helga are harmless.
00:36:11Helga's coming?
00:36:13Yeah.
00:36:14She said she wanted to get to know you.
00:36:15She has it out for me.
00:36:17It's one night.
00:36:18We can get through one night.
00:36:20Soup's almost ready.
00:36:21Just another few minutes.
00:36:22Thank you, Helga.
00:36:23It's nice to get some face time with you, Alice.
00:36:36I've been wanting to get to know you better.
00:36:38Well, you know what they say?
00:36:40You don't know someone until you see them eat.
00:36:42How do you eat, Alice?
00:36:48You want me to spoil the surprise?
00:36:51I'll tell you how I eat.
00:36:52Until I'm full.
00:36:55Can attest to that.
00:36:58So tell us, how did you and Gideon meet?
00:37:01And 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?
00:37:10Well, dear, would you like me to or would you like to?
00:37:13Well, I just love the way you tell it.
00:37:15All right.
00:37:16Well, it's a very funny story, actually.
00:37:20We met at a charity event a few years ago,
00:37:23and then we happened to come across each other online
00:37:26a few months ago.
00:37:29What's funny about that?
00:37:31The way life works, sometimes.
00:37:34Well, honey, you forgot the funniest part
00:37:37about how later that night you accidentally tripped me.
00:37:40Oh, and then she dropped her champagne glass.
00:37:43What event was it?
00:37:50Hmm?
00:37:51What charity event was it?
00:37:59The one for the opera.
00:38:01I remember this.
00:38:03I literally remember Gideon telling me that he tripped someone.
00:38:07Don't you remember, Kieran?
00:38:08I told you about this.
00:38:10You know, I just don't remember you in our circle.
00:38:15You don't seem like the type.
00:38:20Why?
00:38:21Am I not high-class enough?
00:38:23I didn't mean that.
00:38:25No, it's okay.
00:38:26I get it.
00:38:27I would be worried, too, if I thought someone was trying to take advantage of my family.
00:38:31I know you have a lot to protect, and I don't come from a home like this.
00:38:38So you're right.
00:38:39I can't prove to you that I'm not some gold digger.
00:38:42All I can do is promise you that Gideon and I,
00:38:46we know the truth, and we trust each other.
00:38:59You really are a special girl.
00:39:01I had my doubts, of course.
00:39:03I couldn't be sure of your intentions.
00:39:05Especially with the way you walked in that first day.
00:39:08Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
00:39:10You two moved in together so quick, I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.
00:39:16You can imagine my relief when I saw the negative pregnancy test.
00:39:20Pregnancy test?
00:39:23Pregnancy test?
00:39:28Were you going through my trash?
00:39:30Of course not, Alice.
00:39:32Be reasonable.
00:39:33I was cleaning up the mess you made in your bathroom,
00:39:36and didn't know what I was looking at until it was too late.
00:39:39Are you trying to get pregnant?
00:39:40Of course not, Kieran, but accidents happen.
00:39:42We are trying.
00:39:48Gideon.
00:39:49You don't think it's a little rushed?
00:39:51Of course it's rushed.
00:39:52No.
00:39:53It's not.
00:39:54And how is that?
00:39:55Because...
00:39:56We...
00:39:57It's okay.
00:40:01You can tell if I'm Gideon.
00:40:03I asked him to keep it a surprise, but...
00:40:06We're getting married.
00:40:08What?
00:40:13When is this happening?
00:40:15Um...
00:40:16Next week?
00:40:20And you're sure this is something you want to do?
00:40:27I'm positive.
00:40:33Well, in that case...
00:40:36Welcome to the family, Alice!
00:40:40Soup's on!
00:40:41I'm sorry, I told everyone we're getting married.
00:40:46I panicked.
00:40:47They were gonna find out sooner or later.
00:40:49You know, now we need to pull together a quick wedding.
00:40:52Sounds easy enough.
00:40:54Oh, we gotta get Nico cleared for a couple hours from the hospital.
00:40:58Why?
00:41:00Don't you want your brother there?
00:41:02How would that help the plan?
00:41:06No, I mean...
00:41:08Don't you want your brother at the wedding?
00:41:11Now's not a good time.
00:41:13And besides, he'll be there when I get married for real one day.
00:41:16Yeah, no, that's fine.
00:41:20Um...
00:41:21I gotta get a...
00:41:23Get a...
00:41:24Prepared...
00:41:25Um...
00:41:26You gotta get a dress.
00:41:36I almost forgot.
00:41:37Need help?
00:41:59I think I got it.
00:42:01Please, let me help.
00:42:02It's what I'm here for.
00:42:07Are you nervous?
00:42:09Why would I be nervous?
00:42:11It's your wedding day.
00:42:13Right.
00:42:15I'm actually fine.
00:42:16Gideon's a great guy.
00:42:18I'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.
00:42:26But especially you.
00:42:28What an amazing accomplishment.
00:42:31You should take your seat.
00:42:32The ceremony's starting soon and...
00:42:34I wanna make sure you have a great view.
00:42:37It's bad luck to see each other before the wedding.
00:42:55I know.
00:42:57I think I can afford it.
00:42:59Why's that?
00:43:00Hold on one second.
00:43:02I got a surprise for you.
00:43:08Congratulations.
00:43:16What are you doing here?
00:43:17It's your big day.
00:43:18We thought we'd surprise you.
00:43:20We?
00:43:21Me and Gideon.
00:43:22Hey.
00:43:23Hey.
00:43:24Hey.
00:43:25Hey.
00:43:26Hey.
00:43:30Think about how happy Mom and Dad would be to see us right now.
00:43:34Two orphans all grown up.
00:43:36Why did you get so old?
00:43:40Why did you get so old?
00:43:44We both got old way too young.
00:43:48I love that you're here.
00:43:49Okay.
00:43:50But nothing is worth risking your health.
00:43:53You're all I got.
00:43:54You know that?
00:43:55Not anymore.
00:43:58Not anymore.
00:44:02You're sure you're okay to sit through the whole ceremony?
00:44:04Oh yeah.
00:44:05Definitely good enough to have a few drinks later.
00:44:07Let's get you wifed!
00:44:08Let's get you wifed!
00:44:14Do you, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband, promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow, through sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face as long as you both shall live?
00:44:28I do.
00:44:29Would you please exchange rings?
00:44:59By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:45:10You may kiss the bride.
00:45:11I do.
00:45:14Oh!
00:45:16Oh!
00:45:19Oh!
00:45:20God, you are so beautiful.
00:45:47You have no idea how mad I am at you.
00:45:50You are incredible today.
00:46:11Have you ever even heard of a boundary?
00:46:14I've closed nine-figure deals on seven continents.
00:46:18Of course I've heard of boundaries.
00:46:19I just, I don't know, I thought you'd be more appreciative.
00:46:25How?
00:46:26You 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.
00:46:39Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:46:41He's going to 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.
00:46:54I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want.
00:46:58Tell her we're fighting.
00:46:59No, Alice.
00:47:00Today's the day.
00:47:18First day of the rest of my life.
00:47:21Or the last.
00:47:22We'll see.
00:47:22God, I hate when you say stuff like that.
00:47:24I'm just joking.
00:47:26Relax.
00:47:27It'll be fine.
00:47:31So where's your husband?
00:47:33You know, he doesn't leave the house much.
00:47:36Or 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 going to 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.
00:47:54You left the house.
00:48:22It was getting stuffy in there.
00:48:24What 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 going to be fine.
00:48:52You want to know how I know?
00:48:54I don't know.
00:48:56Because I think he promised.
00:49:01I take these so seriously.
00:49:18Alice?
00:49:18Yes.
00:49:22How is he?
00:49:28Nico's surgery was a huge success.
00:49:32They'll bring him in here in just a moment.
00:49:33Okay.
00:49:35So everything went well?
00:49:36Better than we could have hoped for.
00:49:38We'll keep him for two more days, and then he'll be free to go home.
00:49:41Two days, is 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.
00:50:02No, but the music is incredible.
00:50:14It's like streams is a balance, right?
00:50:16What?
00:50:16Yes.
00:50:17Yes.
00:50:17That's what I'm saying.
00:50:18I don't see.
00:50:20Gideon?
00:50:50What are you doing?
00:51:02I want this to be Nico's room.
00:51:07You don't have to do that.
00:51:08It's a big house, there are plenty of rooms.
00:51:10No, I'm ready to move on, to start over.
00:51:17Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:51:19Krista, she 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?
00:51:41She lied.
00:51:43She knew I wanted an heir.
00:51:46She had me fall in love with her.
00:51:49All the while knowing that she didn't want to become a mother.
00:51:53Women have always lied.
00:51:56Even when I was a kid, they would lie.
00:52:00Just to come to see my house.
00:52:01And then as we grew up, it became more about the gifts and the vacations.
00:52:06My point is, I'm used to it.
00:52:09What made her different?
00:52:12She really had me fooled.
00:52:22You know, I had to pay her off just to never see her again.
00:52:26I was so angry.
00:52:32I didn't want to see anyone.
00:52:33And that's when the rumors started.
00:52:35A recluse billionaire.
00:52:37Gideon Maslow.
00:52:38Must be hard to hear people say that about you.
00:52:42You know, 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.
00:52:59Can I tell you a secret?
00:53:04I think I believe you.
00:53:26You know, I'm not going to hurt you.
00:53:48I don't know.
00:54:18I don't know.
00:54:48I don't know.
00:55:18Hello?
00:55:23Hello, Mr. Maslow.
00:55:24This is Brenda from Parkside Surrogacy Agency, returning your call.
00:55:27Brenda?
00:55:28That's strange.
00:55:29I didn't call you.
00:55:31Really?
00:55:32I wondered why we never heard from you.
00:55:33And we're nearly ready to send you some options.
00:55:39No, I'm very pleased with the one that you referred.
00:55:44Mr. Maslow, we never referred anyone.
00:55:49Wait, what do you mean?
00:55:50I'm working with Alice Gardner.
00:55:52Who's Alice Gardner?
00:55:53Is everything okay?
00:56:05No, I just got off the phone with, uh, Brenda.
00:56:08Parkside Surrogacy.
00:56:10Gideon.
00:56:10I thought you said that I can trust you.
00:56:13God, I almost believed you.
00:56:15All the while, you've been lying to my face.
00:56:18Gideon, just let me explain.
00:56:19No, you are just like the rest of them.
00:56:22You know that you are...
00:56:24You're just like her.
00:56:25Okay, you're right.
00:56:26I'm no different than her.
00:56:27I lied to get close to you, and I was only in it for the money.
00:56:30But somewhere along the way, things changed.
00:56:33Okay, I fell in love with you.
00:56:36Gideon, I'm in love with you.
00:56:39That's what Krista said, too.
00:56:41I don't know what to say to make you believe me.
00:56:43Don't try, because it's not going to work.
00:56:46But I thought that having a contract would finally take the complications out of everything,
00:56:50letting me finally get an heir to my estate.
00:56:54God, you violated it from the start.
00:56:56You don't want an heir, Gideon.
00:56:58You want a child.
00:56:59You want to be a dad and to have a family.
00:57:02And deep down, you know that I don't want to leave when the money is paid.
00:57:05I want to stay, and I want to have a family with you.
00:57:09You're not scared that it's fake.
00:57:12You're scared that it might actually be real this time.
00:57:16I feel sorry for you, Gideon.
00:57:19You have everything in this world, and you're going to end up with nothing.
00:57:29Oh, I didn't know you were here.
00:57:46I was going to make the bed.
00:57:47Looks like you already did.
00:57:51Hmm.
00:57:52Looks like I already did.
00:57:57I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:57:58I know you were really hoping she would be the one, but I guess she was just another one.
00:58:07It makes me question if I could be of assistance.
00:58:12Not unless you can give me an heir.
00:58:17That's actually exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:58:21The last thing I want to do is overstep.
00:58:24It would be my nightmare to learn that I've crossed some sort of boundary.
00:58:28But I think Alice has confused you.
00:58:32Somewhere along the way, she got in your head and made it all mushy-gushy.
00:58:37What happened to you, Gideon?
00:58:39You want an heir?
00:58:40Then you need someone you can trust.
00:58:43Someone who you don't need to worry will start feeling feelings or thinking thoughts.
00:58:51Gideon, I've stood by you.
00:58:53Unwaveringly, watching these women enter and exit your life.
00:58:59You really want an heir?
00:59:02The Gideon I know would put one inside me right now.
00:59:06No, she didn't confuse me.
00:59:26She colored me and shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:59:44It's never simple with you, is it?
00:59:46I guess not.
00:59:50But I won't be making that mistake again.
00:59:56Which mistake is that?
00:59:58Poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin?
01:00:05Falling in love.
01:00:06Okay.
01:00:14I am going to do something that is very unlike me and actually give a shit for a second.
01:00:22Gideon, aside from the doctor that delivered you, I have known you longer than anyone on
01:00:30this planet.
01:00:32And once I finally kill that doctor, it'll be just me.
01:00:35Through all the parties, all the success, and all the women, I've never seen you as happy
01:00:42as when you are with Alice.
01:00:44Alice, I know she lied to you.
01:00:49She lied to me from the very beginning, from the absolute onset.
01:00:52Everything was built on a lie.
01:00:55But if you're going to trust something, trust your heart.
01:01:02Do you really want to lose her?
01:01:06Is it really worth that?
01:01:07So it was never real?
01:01:16It wasn't.
01:01:18Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:20I didn't think you'd understand.
01:01:22You try to protect me way too much, Alice.
01:01:25That's my job.
01:01:26And you've done a good job.
01:01:28You fixed my broken heart.
01:01:32But now I can do all the things that we dreamed about when we were kids.
01:01:34Alice, I don't need a mom.
01:01:38I need a sister.
01:01:41I love you so much.
01:01:44Can I tell you something?
01:01:46Always.
01:01:48I really loved him too.
01:01:50I really loved him too.
01:02:04I love you.
01:02:06I love you too.
01:02:06I love you too.
01:02:07I love you too.
01:02:08I love you too.
01:02:13Hey.
01:02:15Hi.
01:02:20Well, I'm going to go to my room.
01:02:22Be nice.
01:02:23Hi.
01:02:24I'm sorry for lying to you.
01:02:28No, I'm sorry for giving it all up
01:02:32and wanting to throw it all away.
01:02:34That's not what you do, you know, when you love someone.
01:02:40I love you, Alice.
01:02:44I love you, Gideon.
01:02:46I want to be with you, and I want a family with you.
01:02:50That's what I want.
01:02:51I want you forever.
01:02:58What is that?
01:03:08I felt a bit weird this morning, so I thought I'd check.
01:03:28I don't know.
