The Billionaire's Baby
Transcript
00:00:00What do you say? He offered me 10 million dollars. I needed the money to pay for my little brother's
00:00:06heart surgery. I couldn't say no. So I moved into his mansion and slowly I got to know him. His
00:00:14likes, his dislikes, his smile, those lips. The man behind the six foot five perfect body. The
00:00:22heart he liked to pretend he didn't have. And eventually I started to realize I wanted this
00:00:29baby and the strange little family we'd become. I wanted him. But my year with Gideon Maslow
00:00:36was coming to an end. Was it possible he felt the same way?
00:00:59Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:08Why won't you tell me who that woman is? Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:01:24Why won't you tell me who that woman is? What does that mean? It means I only want to think
00:01:38about you. My little dove.
00:01:43I don't know.
00:02:13It's more fulfilling than bringing new life into this world.
00:02:16That's beautiful, sweetheart.
00:02:18Did you bring everything I asked for?
00:02:20Oh, yes.
00:02:21Medical records, blood work, it's all there.
00:02:26Everything seems to be in order.
00:02:28You're young, you're healthy.
00:02:30I can already think of several clients who would love you.
00:02:33Oh, that's great.
00:02:34It's a huge relief, honestly.
00:02:36Oh, but honey, wait.
00:02:38Your medical records are missing the details of your previous birth.
00:02:42Previous birth?
00:02:44To be a surrogate, you need to have given birth before.
00:02:46It was in the literature we sent over.
00:02:48No, please.
00:02:50Perhaps you can consider egg donation.
00:02:52That doesn't pay enough.
00:02:54Oh, sweetheart, egg donation is still a beautiful way to help bring new life into the world.
00:02:59Let me get you a pamphlet.

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