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.
00:13:18He should stay in the hospital until he's strong enough for surgery.
00:13:23Let's go.
00:13:24it's good that he's getting some rest
00:13:33what did the lab say his condition is getting worse we need to take a more aggressive approach

00:18:03To be continued...
00:18:33To be continued...
00:19:03Miss Cardinal...
00:19:08This room is off-limits to guests.
00:19:12I'm not a guest.
00:19:13You heard Mr. Maslow.
00:19:21Oh, thank you.
00:19:49You 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.
00:20:00Bunny.
00:20:00Really, 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.
00:20:17How is this real life?
00:20:19Having your priorities straight, compromising on joy because it's what you have to do, doesn't get more real life than that, babe.
00:20:28Looking good, isn't he?
00:20:32You'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.
00:20:39Speaking of, we were able to set a date.
00:20:46The 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?
00:22:08The woman in the painting.
00:22:11She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:22:14Or any other woman for that matter.
00:22:15Or any other woman for that matter.
00:22:27Okay.
00:22:27Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:22:52Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:22:57What does that mean?
00:23:03It means I only want to think about you.
00:23:11My little dove.
00:23:27What the...
00:23:32Hey.
00:23:59Hello.
00:24:00Crazy how we live in the same house and I can still go days without seeing you.
00:24:05Big house.
00:24:06Gets lonely.
00:24:08Pancakes?
00:24:09Pancakes.
00:24:10Want some?
00:24:11No, I'm more of a waffle man.
00:24:14You know, there's more surface area for the syrup.
00:24:16Here.
00:24:17Try one.
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.
00:24:49Alice.
00:24:57You think?
00:24:58Do you have a test?
00:24:59What's it say?
00:25:00Negative.
00:25:01Damn.
00:25:02I really thought it would work.
00:25:04I'll get a better doctor.
00:25:05You know, maybe we need to do an egg retrieval first, create an embryo, and plant it back
00:25:11into you.
00:25:12That could take months.
00:25:13But you signed the contract.
00:25:15You knew you were in this for the long haul.
00:25:17Oh, I know.
00:25:18I'm just bummed that it didn't work.
00:25:19Oh.
00:25:20Yeah.
00:25:21Oh.
00:25:22Me too.
00:25:23Oh.
00:25:24Oh.
00:25:25Oh.
00:25:26Oh.
00:25:27Oh.
00:25:28Oh.
00:25:29Oh.
00:25:30Oh.
00:25:31Oh.
00:25:32Oh.
00:25:33Oh.
00:25:34Oh.
00:25:35Oh.
00:25:36Oh.
00:25:37Oh.

00:25:47Oh.
00:25:52You know, there are other ways I could get pregnant that involves less needles and plastic
00:25:59cups and hospital gowns.
00:26:00Oh yeah?
00:26:03Birds do it, bees do it.
00:26:06I mean, why can't we do it?
00:26:13No.
00:26:14Alice, I'm not paying you to have sex with me.

00:26:21increase our chances no alice sex it complicates things of course it does when feelings are

00:34:28I'm sure.
00:34:34There's no pressure.
00:34:35Do you feel any kind of way?
00:34:36And if it hurts or anything?
00:34:37Yeah, thanks for you.
00:34:44I'll follow you, Lee.
00:34:45All right, you take control.
00:34:46Does that sound OK?
00:34:49I want you to take control.
00:35:11Good morning.
00:35:14Oh.
00:35:15Hey, good morning.
00:35:17You feeling OK?
00:35:19Yeah.
00:35:21That was good, right?
00:35:26Oh, yeah.
00:35:27It was really good.
00:35:31We 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?
00:35:38We're going to have to be a good dinner.
00:35:39I'm going to have to be a good dinner.
00:35:40Okay, but why?
00:35:42Well, 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.
00:35:49Well, 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.
00:35:56And Jenny will say anything about everything.
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.
00:36:20We can get through one night.
00:36:27Soup'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?
00:36:41You don't know someone until you see them eat.
00:36:43How do you eat, Alice?
00:36:49You want me to spoil the surprise?
00:36:52I'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 have our appetizers.
00:37:06It'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?
00:37:13Would 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,
00:37:23and then we happened to come across each other online a few months ago.
00:37:27What'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, then she dropped her champagne glass.
00:37:43What event was it?
00:37:52What 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.
00:38:08Don'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?
00:38:22Am 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.
00:38:32I 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,
00:38:47we know the truth, and we trust each other.
00:38:59You really are a special girl.
00:39:02I had my doubts, of course.
00:39:05I couldn't be sure of your intentions,
00:39:06especially with the way you walked in that first day.
00:39:09Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
00:39:12You two moved in together so quick,
00:39:14I 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?
00:39:30Of 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
00:39:38at until it was too late.
00:39:40Are you trying to get pregnant?
00:39:41Of course not, Kieran, but accidents happen.
00:39:43We are trying.
00:39:44Gideon, 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 a surprise, but we're getting married.
00:40:09What?
00:40:13When is this happening?
00:40:15Um, next week?
00:40:21And you're sure this is something you want to do?
00:40:23I'm positive.
00:40:33Well, in that case, welcome to the family, Alice.
00:40:40Soup's on.
00:40:41I'm sorry.
00:40:45I 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.
00:41:21Um, I gotta get, uh, prepared.
00:41:25Um, you gotta get a dress.
00:41:32Um, I 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.
00:42:28What 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.
00:45:11You may kiss the bride.
00:45:12You may kiss the bride.
00:45:13You may kiss the bride.
00:45:14You may kiss the bride.
00:45:15You may kiss the bride.
00:45:16You may kiss the bride.
00:45:17You may kiss the bride.
00:45:18You may kiss the bride.
00:45:19You may kiss the bride.
00:45:20You may kiss the bride.
00:45:21You may kiss the bride.
00:45:22You may kiss the bride.
00:45:23You may kiss the bride.
00:45:24You may kiss the bride.
00:45:25You may kiss the bride.
00:45:26You may kiss the bride.
00:45:27You may kiss the bride.
00:45:28You may kiss the bride.
00:45:29You may kiss the bride.
00:45:30You may kiss the bride.
00:45:31You may kiss the bride.
00:45:32You may kiss the bride.
00:45:33You may kiss the bride.
00:45:34You may kiss the bride.
00:45:35You may kiss the bride.
00:45:36You may kiss the bride.
00:45:37You may kiss the bride.
00:45:38God, you are so beautiful.
00:45:45You have no idea how mad I am at you.
00:45:49You were incredible today.
00:46:08Have you ever even heard of a boundary?
00:46:12Well, I've closed nine-figure deals on seven continents.
00:46:15Of course I've heard a boundary.
00:46:17I just, I don't know, I thought you'd be more appreciative.
00:46:23How? You totally ignored what I said.
00:46:27Because it wasn't what you wanted.
00:46:29What I want is for Nico to be healthy for his surgery.
00:46:32You jeopardized his health. Do you know how big of a violation that is?
00:46:37He's fine. Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:46:40He's gonna get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow.
00:46:43You're not his father.
00:46:44You're not his mother.
00:46:46Alice.
00:46:50No, I don't want to see you.
00:46:52I'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.
00:47:16First day of the rest of my life.
00:47:20Or the last. We'll see.
00:47:22God, I hate when you say stuff like that.
00:47:24I'm just joking. Relax.
00:47:26It'll be fine.
00:47:31So where's your husband?
00:47:33You know he doesn't leave the house much.
00:47:35Or at all, apparently.
00:47:37I was hoping he'd be with you.
00:47:40Well, 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.
00:47:50Yeah.
00:47:51I know you will be.
00:47:52I know you will get you higher.
00:47:53Yeah.
00:47:54You know I have a long sleep.
00:47:56Gideon.
00:48:15You left the house.
00:48:22It was getting stuffy in there.
00:48:26What are you doing here?
00:48:28I 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?
00:48:55How?
00:48:57Because I think you promised.
00:49:01I take these so seriously.
00:49:04Alice?
00:49:05Yes?
00:49:06How is Eve?
00:49:14Yes?
00:49:15How is Eve?
00:49:17Nico's surgery was a huge success.
00:49:19They'll bring him in here in just a moment.
00:49:21Okay.
00:49:22So everything went well?
00:49:23Better than we could have hoped for.
00:49:24We'll keep him for two more days and then he'll be free to go home.
00:49:29Two days?
00:49:30Is that enough time?
00:49:32I want him to have around-the-clock medical care.
00:49:33What if there are complications?
00:49:34We don't foresee any complications.
00:49:35Money's not going to be a concern.
00:49:36Whatever it takes is fine.
00:49:37Money's not a concern for us either.
00:49:37The thing is, I don't think he needs to be here any longer.
00:49:38He'll make a mistake.
00:49:39He'll make a mistake.
00:49:40He'll make a mistake.
00:49:41He'll make a mistake.
00:49:42He'll make a mistake.
00:49:43He'll make a mistake.
00:49:44He'll make a mistake.
00:49:45I want him to have around-the-clock medical care.
00:49:47I mean, what if there are complications?
00:49:49We don't foresee any complications.
00:49:51I mean, money'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.
00:50:15What?
00:50:16Yes, that's what I'm saying.
00:50:35Gideon?
00:50:45What are you doing?
00:50:58I want this to be Nico's room.
00:51:04You don't have to do that.
00:51:07It's a big house, there 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?
00:51:27Krista.
00:51:29She was quite the artist.
00:51:31Very famous.
00:51:33I'm sure you've heard of her.
00:51:35I'm absolutely sure I haven't.
00:51:37What 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.
00:51:54Even when I was a kid, they would lie.
00:51:58Just to come to see my house.
00:52:00And then as we grew up, it became more about the gifts and the vacations.
00:52:05And my point is, I'm used to it.
00:52:10What made her different?
00:52:14She really had me fooled.
00:52:21You know, I had to pay her off just to never see her again.
00:52:24I was so angry.
00:52:31I didn't want to see anyone.
00:52:33And that's when the rumors started.
00:52:35Recluse billionaire.
00:52:36Gideon Maslow.
00:52:39Must be hard to hear people say that about you.
00:52:41No, I didn't care what they said anymore.
00:52:44You know, I had given up on love.
00:52:46But I had never given up on an heir.
00:52:49You know, I'm not gonna hurt you like she did.
00:52:54You really can trust me.
00:52:58Can I tell you a secret?
00:53:03I think I believe you.
00:53:04I love you.
00:53:34I love you.
00:53:35Maybe you can trust me.
00:53:36I love you.
00:53:37I'm a little-
00:54:03I don't know.
00:54:33I don't know.
00:55:03I don't know.
00:55:21Hello?
00:55:23Hello, Mr. Maslow.
00:55:24This is Brenda from Parkside's surrogacy agency, returning your call.
00:55:27Brenda?
00:55:28That's strange.
00:55:29I didn't recall you.
00:55:29Really?
00:55:32I wondered why we never heard from you.
00:55:35We'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.
00:55:51It was Alice Gardner.
00:56:03Is everything okay?
00:56:05No, I just got off the phone with, uh, Brenda.
00:56:08Parkside's 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.
00:56:46Right, 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, and deep down, you know that I don't want
00:57:04to leave when the money is paid.
00:57:06I 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.
00:57:49Looks like you already did.
00:57:52Looks like I already did.
00:57:53I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:58:00I 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.
00:58:13Not unless you can get me an heir.
00:58:15That'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.
00:58:29But I think Alice has confused you.
00:58:32Somewhere along the way, she got in your head and made it all mushy-gushy.
00:58:36What 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, unwaveringly, watching these women enter and exit your life.
00:58:59You really want an heir?
00:59:01Remember, the Gideon I know would put one inside me right now.
00:59:23No.
00:59:25She didn't confuse me.
00:59:26She colored me and shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:59:45It's never simple with you, is it?
00:59:49I guess not.
00:59:51But I won't be making that mistake again.
00:59:54Which mistake is that?
00:59:58Poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin?
01:00:05Falling in love.
01:00:12Okay.
01:00:14I am going to do something that is very unlike me and actually give a shit for a second.
01:00:24Gideon, 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.
01:00:44I know she lied to you.
01:00:48She 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.
01:01:29But now I can do all the things that we dreamed about when we were kids.
01:01:36I 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 don't need a sister.
01:02:11Hey.
01:02:14Hi.
01:02:16Hi.
01:02:20Well, I'm going to go to my room.
01:02:22Be nice.
01:02:23Hi.
01:02:27I'm sorry for lying to you.
01:02:29No, I'm sorry for giving it all up and wanting to throw it all away.
01:02:35That'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.
01:03:03What is that?
01:03:08I felt a bit weird this morning, so I thought I'd check.
01:03:13I want to be with you.
01:03:16Thanks.
