00:00:00Surrogacy, what's surrogacy?
00:00:02Harvard Business School, MBA, top of class.
00:00:06As for intimate matters,
00:00:11I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:00:15Three years I've loved him.
00:00:17Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:00:19But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:00:22I know he loves me.
00:00:30Oh my god! Three years I've wasted on you!
00:00:36I'm not gonna let you take this from me too.
00:00:39I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:00:42One appointment, one sperm donor, I can have a baby of my own.
00:00:49Understand this clearly. We'll be parents, nothing more.
00:00:53Surrogacy, five generations of Crawford dignity.
00:01:02Destroyed by tabloid gossip.
00:01:05Adrian, I can make all of this disappear.
00:01:10You've got the couple, right? Until...
00:01:14All you have to do is remember who you really belong with.
00:01:18That's for every lie you just told.
00:01:21It's your fault!
00:01:22You really plan to get rid of him.
00:01:27Get up!
00:01:35Three years.
00:01:36Three years I've loved him.
00:01:39Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:01:41That a man like him only loves himself.
00:01:46But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:01:48I know he loves me.
00:01:51Thank you so much. I really, really appreciate it.
00:01:55Tonight, it will be our big night.
00:01:58And I'll give him all of me.
00:02:01We'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:02:03A family of our own.
00:02:04A family of our own.
00:02:18I'm so sorry.
00:02:19Well...
00:02:21A family of our own.
00:02:22I'll give him a few more.
00:02:23Do you want to take care of me?
00:02:24I've got a family of my own.
00:02:25I'm so sorry.
00:02:26You've got a family of others in the house.
00:02:27I've got a family of my own.
00:02:29You've got a family of our own.
00:02:30I'm so sorry.
00:02:31Oh, my God.
00:03:01Oh, my God.
00:03:31Oh, my God.
00:03:35Lala, you're early.
00:03:39Why so shocked, babe?
00:03:41You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:03:46Come and join us.
00:03:48Three years.
00:03:54Three years.
00:03:55I wasted on you.
00:03:57God, I'm such an idiot.
00:04:00I was thinking I was going to have a baby with you.
00:04:04Oh, baby.
00:04:07Sweetheart, you wouldn't even put out after three years and now you're thinking about playing mommy.
00:04:13Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs,
00:04:18these lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:04:22Screw you.
00:04:35I'm not going to let you take this from me, too.
00:04:38You know what?
00:04:43I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:46One appointment, one sperm donor.
00:04:49I can have a baby of my own.
00:04:50Six months to produce an heir or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:05:04Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:05:07The surrogate candidates are all thoroughbreds, so I have legal educated, impeccable health histories.
00:05:15I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:05:17I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:05:20Find me someone who knows their place and will disappear after delivery.
00:05:29Ah!
00:05:30Ah!
00:05:37Miss,
00:06:07Are you here for the interview?
00:06:09Yeah.
00:06:11The interview?
00:06:12Yes, of course.
00:06:23Please sit.
00:06:30Right, um, let's get started.
00:06:34Hey, um, education.
00:06:37Background.
00:06:39Excuse me?
00:06:40And I'm going to need a full medical history.
00:06:42Specifically genetic disorders.
00:06:45Do you work out?
00:06:47I mean, you look acceptable.
00:06:50Do you have any idea who I am?
00:07:01I'm just trying to be thorough.
00:07:03It's about creating a healthy baby after all.
00:07:06Why are attractive men so full of themselves.
00:07:11I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:07:15I need to know your reproductive history.
00:07:18So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:07:21Mr. Crossbow, I can't show her out.
00:07:24I can't show her out.
00:07:24I can't show her out.
00:07:24I can't show her out.
00:07:25Thompson, leave us.
00:07:30What are you doing?
00:07:31Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:07:43Harvard Business School.
00:07:45MBA.
00:07:45Top of class.
00:07:47No family history of genetic disorders.
00:07:49I work you out five times a week.
00:07:52As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:08:03Now Thompson is gone, are you comfortable to share yours?
00:08:06Um, yes, of course.
00:08:09Um, I'm perfectly healthy too, no genetic disorders, and I get regular check-ups.
00:08:18Um, I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:08:23You really do seem like the perfect match.
00:08:27Good.
00:08:29Now, regarding compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
00:08:32Well, I was thinking around $800.
00:08:39$800.
00:08:41I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:08:46I know, I know it's not a lot of money, but considering the quality, I could, I could help, I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:08:55Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:09:02Oh, all of this?
00:09:07Seriously?
00:09:09Take your time to review, but the key point is after birth, the child stays with me.
00:09:15No contact.
00:09:18You want to keep my baby?
00:09:20Are you insane?
00:09:21Are you insane?
00:09:21That's standard procedure for surrogacy arrangements.
00:09:30Surrogacy?
00:09:31Surrogacy.
00:09:32The position you're interviewing for.
00:09:34Interview?
00:09:35I'm hated by sperm.
00:09:38You came to what?
00:09:39Uh, I thought you were a donor.
00:09:41That's why I was asking you all the questions about the history and stuff.
00:09:46I thought you were here to be my surrogate.
00:09:48Right, um, well, I guess, I guess I've, um, made a mistake, so I'm just gonna go.
00:09:55Wait!
00:09:59A million dollars.
00:10:01For carrying my child.
00:10:04I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:10:07Not somebody else's.
00:10:10Ah, you might need that.
00:10:18Clean this up.
00:10:22Bring in the next.
00:10:30Hello?
00:10:31Miss Reed, your father.
00:10:33You need to come now.
00:10:35Okay, I'm coming here.
00:10:36Doctor, how is he?
00:10:58How is my father?
00:11:00The cancer has spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:11:03Then, then do something.
00:11:05Save him.
00:11:07Is there, is there a treatment you can do?
00:11:09Uh, there is a new treatment.
00:11:11Okay, then, then let's do it.
00:11:13But maybe it's, uh, quite expensive.
00:11:15How much?
00:11:16Around one million dollars.
00:11:18A million dollars?
00:11:20Yes.
00:11:21Can I get a, a loan or something?
00:11:25Actually, this is a new technology.
00:11:27And there is no loan policy.
00:11:28Sorry.
00:11:28Sorry.
00:11:29Hey, what do you want to do?
00:11:50I don't know what's with him.
00:11:50Mom!
00:11:50This is the last batch.
00:12:10Yes, sir.
00:12:11The blonde wanted to know about ring sizes.
00:12:15And Brunette asked about moving in.
00:12:19And the redhead...
00:12:20All of them want the Crawford name.
00:12:23No one's qualified.
00:12:27She was refreshing.
00:12:30No pretense.
00:12:31No schemes.
00:12:33But she wasn't even here for surrogacy.
00:12:37Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job.
00:12:39Hello.
00:12:51Hello.
00:12:53I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:12:55I've been thinking.
00:13:06I've been thinking.
00:13:09About yesterday, I may have been a bit hasty.
00:13:13You're reconsidering.
00:13:15Don't sound so smug about it.
00:13:16I have my reasons.
00:13:18As do I.
00:13:21I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:13:27What kind of modification?
00:13:29Joint custody.
00:13:30You wouldn't be just carrying the child.
00:13:32You'd be the baby's mother.
00:13:33Why would you agree to that?
00:13:35You're honest.
00:13:37Direct.
00:13:38No hidden agenda.
00:13:41Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:13:43So I'd really get to be a part of the baby's life?
00:13:45Yes.
00:13:46But understand this clearly.
00:13:48We'll be parents.
00:13:49Nothing more.
00:13:51No romantic entanglements.
00:13:53No emotional expectations.
00:13:56Don't flutter yourself.
00:14:00God, rich man and there he goes.
00:14:06Father.
00:14:07The board is getting impatient.
00:14:10Have you considered the arrangements I suggested?
00:14:13I've already made my own plans.
00:14:15Adrian, if you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
00:14:22The Crawford name means something.
00:14:24I won't let it be tainted by...
00:14:27I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:14:29What?
00:14:30We'll discuss this at dinner.
00:14:33Did I just get promoted from surrogate to fiancé?
00:14:41Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just say, just parents, nothing more?
00:14:49The situation requires adaptation.
00:14:52Adaptation.
00:14:54Hmm.
00:14:54Is that CEO talk for I change my mind?
00:14:57If we need a convincing story, you'll be staying at my house during the pregnancy.
00:15:01And after the baby comes?
00:15:03We'll arrange for an amicable separation, continue parenting, and I'll arrange for any additional
00:15:10compensation for the complexity.
00:15:11The original amount is fine, but I am going to need it soon.
00:15:17Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:15:32I think my whole apartment could fit in this entryway.
00:15:45I think my whole apartment could fit in this entryway.
00:15:45Well, well, well.
00:15:56Missed me so much, you tracked me down.
00:15:58Can't get over me, huh?
00:16:06Following me here like a lost puppy?
00:16:09Following you?
00:16:10Why would I...
00:16:11What are you doing here?
00:16:13Sweetheart, this is my family's house.
00:16:16I'm sure you know that.
00:16:18Hmm.
00:16:18You never let me have sex with you.
00:16:21But look at you now, sneaking into my house.
00:16:25Finally realize what you're missing, baby?
00:16:27Get your hands off me, you creep.
00:16:30Playing hard to get used to be cute, but now?
00:16:33Come on, baby.
00:16:35We both know this is what you came here for.
00:16:38Uncle, what are you doing?
00:16:40Get your filthy hands off my fiancé.
00:16:45Your...
00:16:45Your...
00:16:46What?
00:16:47Fiancé?
00:16:48How could she be your fiancé?
00:16:52She's just...
00:16:53Watch your mouth.
00:16:55Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:17:00This is crazy.
00:17:01You seriously don't know.
00:17:03I won't repeat myself.
00:17:05Stay away from my fiancé.
00:17:07One more word.
00:17:08You can kiss that trust fund.
00:17:10Goodbye.
00:17:10Goodbye.
00:17:18You alright?
00:17:28You alright?
00:17:29Yeah.
00:17:30So...
00:17:31Ethan.
00:17:33He's your nephew.
00:17:35And he's your...
00:17:36Well, he was...
00:17:38He's kinda...
00:17:40He was my boyfriend.
00:17:42I mean, ex-boyfriend.
00:17:43I mean, like, extremely ex-ex-boyfriend.
00:17:47I see.
00:17:50Tell him someone bring your things in shortly.
00:17:53Sorry.
00:17:54Um, so...
00:17:58Where am I staying?
00:18:02Here.
00:18:04What?
00:18:05Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple sleep in separate rooms.
00:18:11Oh, of course.
00:18:12Fake engagement.
00:18:13Real roommates.
00:18:13Don't worry.
00:18:18I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:18:19I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:18:43What are you doing?
00:18:48This is the line.
00:18:49Don't cross it.
00:18:51Ever.
00:18:53For sure.
00:18:55Good.
00:18:55My plan worked perfectly.
00:19:17Wait.
00:19:18How did I...
00:19:19No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:19:25Sir, are you okay?
00:19:31Fine.
00:19:33Continue.
00:19:41Stay on your side.
00:19:49Myla, wake up.
00:19:51Please.
00:19:55Myla, please.
00:19:59My...
00:19:59Control.
00:20:01This is Liz Reed.
00:20:19Control.
00:20:20Sorry, didn't see you there.
00:20:40You're always in the way.
00:20:45Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancé.
00:20:50Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:51Catherine, please. We're family now. Supposedly.
00:20:56Helen, tea, please.
00:20:58Yes, Mrs. Crawford?
00:21:02So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:21:07Through mutual friends.
00:21:11Oh, really? Mutual friends.
00:21:14Hmm.
00:21:16Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:21:22Unless this is more of a business arrangement?
00:21:26I'm sorry?
00:21:28Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved?
00:21:33The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:21:46Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancé, your presence is required.
00:21:53I'd be honoured.
00:21:56Hmm. Perfect.
00:21:58I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:22:04You can go now.
00:22:05Excuse me, Miss Rie.
00:22:18I need to clean.
00:22:20Of course.
00:22:20Let me just...
00:22:21Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:22:28How creative.
00:22:32Must be hot in your family.
00:22:34Watching you chase after each man.
00:22:38Let me help you with this.
00:22:39My friends!
00:22:41How clumsy of me.
00:22:43You did that on purpose.
00:22:45Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:22:48She was just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:55Mr. Crawford, she just attacked me.
00:22:58I was trying to help with a...
00:23:02Get out!
00:23:03But I was just...
00:23:04One more word and you're fired.
00:23:07Get out.
00:23:15What happened?
00:23:16Nothing.
00:23:18I need some space.
00:23:19I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:23:21Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:23:22I need some space.
00:23:26You take the bed.
00:23:27I'll take the sofa.
00:23:28I miss you so much, Daddy.
00:23:32Don't worry about me, okay?
00:23:34As long as we can get you better,
00:23:37I won't let their words get to me.
00:23:38I promise.
00:23:40Lila, what happened?
00:23:42What should I do?
00:23:43How's the happy couple?
00:23:58How's the happy couple?
00:23:58Oh, that's awkward.
00:24:07Oh, that's awkward.
00:24:11Just a small break.
00:24:13Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:24:15It's okay.
00:24:16I'm here.
00:24:18You're safe.
00:24:21Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:37Sorry.
00:24:38y'all jump in.
00:24:42This is funny.
00:24:43e'boh
00:24:57the
00:25:00Ahh
00:25:03Focus. This is just a simple procedure. Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:25:19Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:25:22Uh, yeah, I'm fine. I just need some assistance.
00:25:27Oh, do you need my help?
00:25:29No, I didn't mean...
00:25:31Are you sure? Honestly, it's fine. I can come in if you need me to.
00:25:36Come in.
00:25:46So, you want to help?
00:25:49Of course. What do you need me to?
00:25:55Oh, you're...
00:25:57Oh, you're...
00:25:58I'm... I'm so sorry. I didn't... I didn't realize. I'm just... I'm just gonna... just go somewhere. I just need you somewhere very far.
00:26:07Well, that was helpful.
00:26:11Are you okay?
00:26:19Yeah. Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:26:24It's causing you pain.
00:26:25Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable. But I mean, it will... it will pass.
00:26:30Oh.
00:26:31Here.
00:26:33Oh, okay.
00:26:34Thanks.
00:26:52Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically a work-related issue.
00:26:58And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:03Purely professional care.
00:27:31Purely professional, huh?
00:27:51Adrian.
00:27:54Um, about this weekend...
00:27:56I'm sorry. There's an emergency in Atlanta. The... the merge is falling apart.
00:28:00Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:28:03Your family invited me to dinner. Guess I'll handle it on my own.
00:28:07Well, I don't suppose we should expect punctuality from a person who's probably never had a proper watch in her life.
00:28:18I introduce him to the Lawson Harris, the senator's daughter. I don't understand why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:28:28What did you say she did, Ethan?
00:28:29What did you say?
00:28:30What did you say she did, Ethan? Retail?
00:28:32Worse. A wannabe writer. She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:28:38Well, I have tried to be welcoming. I had the chef prepare her place setting and everything. She probably couldn't figure out which work she did at all.
00:28:50I apologize for the sight delay.
00:29:05My, my. Trying so hard to look the part. James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner. I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:29:20And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breathing.
00:29:25Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:29:31Oh, darling. A seamstress for a daughter-in-law? How quaint. At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian's socks.
00:29:43I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable. Integrity.
00:29:51Integrity. Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:29:56How much, how much will it take you to disappear in your price?
00:30:07The difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford, is that I don't think that everything comes with a price tag.
00:30:15Excuse me.
00:30:16Stay calm.
00:30:28You can do this.
00:30:34Getting all dressed up for me, baby.
00:30:37What's the rush? We're all family here.
00:30:47Well, almost family.
00:30:50Don't touch me.
00:30:52You used to like it when I touched you.
00:30:54Remember how shy you were?
00:30:57Always saying no.
00:30:59Run off me, doctor!
00:31:00Be careful now.
00:31:01One scream from you and everyone at dinner is going to know what kind of girl you really are.
00:31:09Now, where were we?
00:31:19Everything alright, dear?
00:31:21You look flushed.
00:31:23So, as I was saying about the muscles...
00:31:26Stop it!
00:31:31Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:31:34Stop it!
00:31:37Enough!
00:31:38No class?
00:31:39No manners?
00:31:41I don't know how you seduced my son,
00:31:44but someone like you could never deserve a place in this family!
00:31:49I...
00:31:50I'm the one who pursued her.
00:31:57Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:32:02Adrian...
00:32:04If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:32:06You wanna know how we met?
00:32:08She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:32:10Papers flying, coffee spilled.
00:32:12Unlike some people, she didn't care about my name or my money.
00:32:17She, uh...
00:32:19Refused me several times.
00:32:21Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:32:22The first woman who dared to stand out to me.
00:32:26And that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:32:28I've never met her.
00:32:33Sir, two things.
00:32:34Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner,
00:32:37and your jet is ready. We can go now.
00:32:43Cancel it, Lance.
00:32:45What's the merger?
00:32:48Yes, sir.
00:32:50Funny that last week family's dinners were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:32:56Something is more important than business.
00:33:02Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:33:08Too bad it's either a complete lie, or she's been playing us both.
00:33:13What are you talking about?
00:33:17We've been dating for three years.
00:33:20I have pictures of us together.
00:33:26What?
00:33:28She probably planned this from the start.
00:33:30Dating me to get close to the family, then setting her sights higher.
00:33:35You manipulative little tree.
00:33:37Face it, Uncle.
00:33:38You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:43Face it, Uncle.
00:33:45You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:52That's for every lie you just told.
00:33:57Adrian! How dare you hit my son!
00:34:00Where do you think you're going? We are not finished here yet!
00:34:02Are you finished here yet?
00:34:03Yes, we are!
00:34:09I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:34:12Thank you for coming back.
00:34:14And for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:34:22Your hands, what happened?
00:34:23As my fiance, you have access to the family accounts. I expect you to use them.
00:34:44I... I didn't want to presume.
00:34:46You're a Crawford now.
00:34:47No.
00:34:58Dr. Anderson.
00:35:00Mr. Crawford.
00:35:02The embryos are ready, so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:35:06I see.
00:35:10What is it? Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:12I've been thinking...
00:35:14Perhaps we should approach this matter in a more...
00:35:19Natural...
00:35:20Manner.
00:35:22Between a husband...
00:35:24And a wife.
00:35:26What are your thoughts?
00:35:30I think that we should go to bed.
00:35:33We have a really big day tomorrow.
00:35:36So...
00:35:38I mean...
00:35:40Good night.
00:35:42You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit.
00:35:50Focus on the procedure.
00:35:54Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:36:02There.
00:36:04See that white spot?
00:36:07That's our baby.
00:36:13You know, I can walk.
00:36:16Doctor's orders?
00:36:18You seem more nervous than I do.
00:36:24Merely following medical procedure.
00:36:25Look at her.
00:36:37She's acting like a princess.
00:36:40She was probably a waitress last week.
00:36:45Now she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:36:48Oh.
00:36:49She's going to get her finger.
00:36:50Oh.
00:36:51Oh.
00:36:59Oh.
00:37:00Oh.
00:37:02Oh.
00:37:03Oh.
00:37:04Oh.
00:37:05Oh.
00:37:07Oh.
00:37:09Oh.
00:37:11Adrien!
00:37:24Not quite. Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:37:27Let go of me!
00:37:29Come on, you used to love being in my arms.
00:37:32Remember how we would spend hours at the cafe?
00:37:35You would lean into me while reading your favorite book?
00:37:39Did she?
00:37:41Adrien! I was just getting food, I swear.
00:37:49Get out!
00:37:55Stomach.
00:37:56Lila, what's wrong?
00:37:57My stomach, I think that there's something wrong.
00:38:00If anything, anything happens to my fiancee or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:38:06And you, what you want.
00:38:10You'll never have.
00:38:12Never.
00:38:18Child.
00:38:19Three years she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:38:22And a few weeks with my uncle and she's carrying his child.
00:38:27You want the perfect family.
00:38:28Well, it's not gonna happen.
00:38:32It's not gonna happen.
00:38:33Thompson, clear my schedule.
00:38:46Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:48Sir, what happened?
00:38:49Sir, what happened?
00:38:50Do you need my help?
00:38:51You can't help on this one.
00:38:52Just do what I say.
00:38:53You and Ethan, you've never really gotten along, have you?
00:39:00Why is that?
00:39:02You seem very concerned about him.
00:39:03I, I just...
00:39:04Just get some rest.
00:39:05It's been a rough day for you.
00:39:06Adrian, why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:39:08No reason.
00:39:09I just know you're not like that.
00:39:11Thanks.
00:39:12Get some rest.
00:39:13Do whatever makes you comfortable.
00:39:14Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:39:15Anything I want?
00:39:16Are you sure about that?
00:39:17No.
00:39:18No.
00:39:19No.
00:39:20No.
00:39:21No.
00:39:22No.
00:39:23I just know you're not like that.
00:39:24Thanks.
00:39:26Get some rest.
00:39:27Do whatever makes you comfortable.
00:39:29Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:39:31Anything I want?
00:39:33Are you sure about that?
00:39:47What the...
00:39:49What are you doing?
00:40:03This isn't nutritious.
00:40:05The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:08The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:10Yeah.
00:40:11And chips and ice cream.
00:40:14You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you?
00:40:16I've been researching optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:40:21See, week by week guidelines.
00:40:23Okay, okay, okay.
00:40:25How about a compromise?
00:40:27One treat per day.
00:40:29Half a treat.
00:40:31Three quarters.
00:40:33Wheeze.
00:40:34Wheeze.
00:40:35Wheeze.
00:40:36Wheeze.
00:40:37Wheeze.
00:40:42Wheeze.
00:40:44Wheeze.
00:40:46Wheeze.
00:40:48Wheeze.
00:40:49Wheeze.
00:40:50Wheeze.
00:40:51Wheeze.
00:40:52Wheeze.
00:40:53Wheeze.
00:40:54Wheeze...
00:40:55Congratulations.
00:40:56The fetus is developing perfectly.
00:40:59Really?
00:41:01Everything looks wonderful.
00:41:03Now that we're in the stable period,
00:41:05I would recommend you starting some pre-natal exercise.
00:41:10What kind of exercise?
00:41:13Now, hold her from behind in a maternal pose.
00:41:24Maybe we should skip this part.
00:41:26Good train. Let's do it properly.
00:41:28Guide her arms up.
00:41:39This is a little intimate.
00:41:42And now, the supporting stretch.
00:41:51Oh, Adrian.
00:41:56Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:42:00Maybe we should continue this at home.
00:42:02Yeah, please.
00:42:04The Charity Gala isn't a test.
00:42:10The Charity Gala isn't a test.
00:42:11Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:42:17The Charity Gala isn't a test.
00:42:22The Charity Gala isn't a test.
00:42:23Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:42:28You look perfect.
00:42:44You look perfect.
00:42:51Just be yourself.
00:42:56Then... this...
00:43:00This is not me.
00:43:14Adrian!
00:43:19It's been too long.
00:43:25You look... exactly the same.
00:43:40And you must be the fiancee.
00:43:43I'm so pleased Adrian has found someone after all these years.
00:43:48That's really kind, but I'm sorry, who are you?
00:43:54I'm just someone who cares about Adrian's happiness. More than anyone else.
00:44:04Oh my god!
00:44:07You two are finally back together.
00:44:09Everyone, look who's here. The golden couple.
00:44:15I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged. I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:44:19When is the wedding?
00:44:20Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancee, Lala Reid.
00:44:35We're expecting our first child and of course you're all welcome to the wedding.
00:44:38She's pregnant?
00:44:40Oh, I'm... I'm so sorry. I just assumed... congratulations for you both.
00:44:51Adrian Crawford and a complete unknown? How did you manage that?
00:44:55Adrian chose her over Vivian. Is he crazy?
00:44:57Oh, Benji, how have you been?
00:45:01Great.
00:45:03Let's go, Ben.
00:45:09They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:45:12Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:45:14Gentlemen! What are y'all talking about?
00:45:29They do look like the perfect couple.
00:45:30Perfect couple.
00:45:44Drinking? I thought you were pregnant.
00:45:47None of your business.
00:45:52You know how Adrian is. Always has to win.
00:45:56Especially against me.
00:45:58He hates when I take things from him.
00:46:00What are you talking about?
00:46:09Perfect couple, right?
00:46:11Until...
00:46:15Vivian fell madly in love with me.
00:46:19Leaving dear uncle heartbroken.
00:46:21Since then...
00:46:23Whatever I want...
00:46:25He has to take.
00:46:27Whatever I have...
00:46:29He has to win.
00:46:31Like you.
00:46:33What you want, you never have.
00:46:36Never.
00:46:38You and Ethan, you've never really...
00:46:41Gone along, have you?
00:46:43You don't get it.
00:46:45Stop being naive.
00:46:47You're just his tool for revenge.
00:46:48I'm just his tool for revenge?
00:46:58I'm just his tool for revenge?
00:47:00What do you think you're doing?
00:47:02You are pregnant. Why are you drinking?
00:47:03Oh, now you care.
00:47:11I'm in pain.
00:47:13It's soda. I know what I'm doing.
00:47:15Ah!
00:47:16I'm not in pain...
00:47:18What is roleazon?
00:47:20This is проект crazy...
00:47:22I'm dying...
00:47:24Uh...
00:47:26Now...
00:47:30one more patient...
00:47:31What happened back there?
00:47:40Talk to me.
00:47:43Lila, I am worried.
00:47:45So you talked to Ethan, but not me.
00:47:49Well, you do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:48:01Lila, open the door.
00:48:12Please.
00:48:12Please.
00:48:43The act is still warm.
00:48:46I apologize about last night.
00:48:48I was just worried about you.
00:48:52Worried about me or worried about the baby?
00:48:58What do you mean?
00:49:00Is this why you're being so nice to me?
00:49:03Making me breakfast, being all protective.
00:49:07It's just for the baby.
00:49:08Lila, you've been so strange since yesterday.
00:49:13Why?
00:49:15Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:49:22Yes.
00:49:23And then she got with Ethan?
00:49:34Yes.
00:49:36Okay, so I'm just...
00:49:38Vivian and I were...
00:49:39Sir, the Singapore version is falling apart.
00:49:47We need to immediately.
00:49:48I'm in the middle of something.
00:49:50The board is threatening to pull out.
00:49:53I'll be there.
00:49:54We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back.
00:50:03Of course.
00:50:04Business first.
00:50:05Lila.
00:50:11Just go.
00:50:12Just go.
00:50:12Just go.
00:50:12Sir, there have been complications.
00:50:26During your absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members, suggesting your sudden
00:50:32marriage plans indicate obstacle decision-making.
00:50:37Several executives are questioning if someone so personally distracted should and hurt the company.
00:50:56Mr. Groffo, we've been discussing my personal life.
00:51:05Your sudden access has...
00:51:06Let me be very clear.
00:51:14This company took a 40% profit loss before I took over.
00:51:19Within three years, I tripled our market share.
00:51:21Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge, my execution, my strategies.
00:51:30So, yes, I am getting married.
00:51:33And, yes, I took some time off.
00:51:35And, no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:51:44Because without me, there wouldn't be a company left to inherit.
00:51:48Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:51:54Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:51:58Now, shall we announce the merger?
00:52:02Now, shall we go?
00:52:12Well, Mr. Mark is smiling.
00:52:15Now, shall we go?
00:52:17Oh.
00:52:20This is not even a玩-lo-sourgamed user.
00:52:22Now, shall we let you go?
00:52:23There's a win-lo-sourgamed user.
00:52:24Now, shall we,
00:52:25it's blasphemy.
00:52:25This is not a good time.
00:52:26Adrian, what the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:52:41I was doing my job.
00:52:43Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:52:47Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:52:53You leave Lila out of this.
00:52:55You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:52:59Yeah, run along.
00:53:01Adolfs are talking business now.
00:53:03We just need to bore him for a moment, dear.
00:53:06Business matters.
00:53:07You wouldn't understand.
00:53:15That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:53:19She's nothing but a broodmare.
00:53:27After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:53:32Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:53:35Someone like me.
00:53:36Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:53:42Non-negotiable.
00:53:44She will follow you every day, just like before.
00:53:47And your little pet project can't stay home and just state.
00:53:51That's all she's good for.
00:53:52Get out!
00:53:56Both of you!
00:53:57How dare you!
00:53:59If you dare mention my wife's name again, I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground
00:54:03before either of you get to touch it.
00:54:05Adrian, be reasonable.
00:54:08She is worth a thousand to you.
00:54:10Tomorrow, 9 a.m.
00:54:13Vivian starts.
00:54:15No discussion.
00:54:15Is that all?
00:54:19Yes, for now.
00:54:21But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:45Stop it.
00:54:59Stop checking.
00:55:02This is ridiculous.
00:55:04I was independent before.
00:55:07I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep.
00:55:13No!
00:55:15I'm not going to be that girl.
00:55:20I can make my own meals.
00:55:23I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:55:31A broodmare.
00:55:35Way to get back at Ethan.
00:55:41Philo!
00:55:42I'm fine!
00:55:44You're not fine!
00:55:45Hospital!
00:55:46Now!
00:55:46I'm fine!
00:56:01Thanks.
00:56:02I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciated you today.
00:56:06You know, you used to look at me like that.
00:56:13All sweet.
00:56:15Sincere.
00:56:15Don't.
00:56:17Why not?
00:56:19Is there really no chance for us?
00:56:21Ethan.
00:56:23Lila, he's just using you.
00:56:26You're his revenge against me.
00:56:28A tool.
00:56:29And you deserve better than that.
00:56:33Adrian!
00:56:34Stop!
00:56:36What are you doing?
00:56:37I'm protecting you.
00:56:39From what?
00:56:39He's helping.
00:56:40He brought me here.
00:56:41My hand was bleeding.
00:56:42So now you're defending him?
00:56:43No, I'm defending the truth.
00:56:46Sometimes, I guess people surprise you.
00:56:50I see.
00:56:52Adrian.
00:56:53Adrian.
00:56:53I'll call the doctor to come.
00:57:00I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OBGYN down immediately.
00:57:04Sir, it's just the minor car.
00:57:06I want a full prenatal checkup.
00:57:08I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson.
00:57:10He's going to be down here in 10 minutes.
00:57:12Always so control.
00:57:15Aren't you, Uncle?
00:57:17Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:57:20Remember our beach dates?
00:57:25How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:57:32Thompson, bring in the catering.
00:57:34The Michelin star one.
00:57:36Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:57:39Oh, well done.
00:57:40No sauce.
00:57:42I don't think that I did say...
00:57:44How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:57:47Pride and Prejudice.
00:57:49BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:57:51She likes to watch it when she's still distressed.
00:57:53Which is why I upgraded our home theater system.
00:57:56To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:58:00You did what?
00:58:01Wow.
00:58:04Using money to get to her heart.
00:58:07Huh, Uncle?
00:58:10Well, see.
00:58:10Oh, the Alzheimer's ring is fully renovated.
00:58:14Named after Lila's grandmother.
00:58:16As she mentioned.
00:58:18Oh, it's a fully funded.
00:58:20Anonymous donor.
00:58:22Hmm.
00:58:26He may be able to offer you money,
00:58:29but you're going to miss this.
00:58:30Hmm.
00:58:30Hmm.
00:58:31Hmm.
00:58:31Hmm.
00:58:31Hmm.
00:58:31Hmm.
00:58:31Hmm.
00:58:31Hmm.
00:58:31Hmm.
00:58:32Hmm.
00:58:33Hmm.
00:58:33Hmm.
00:58:33Hmm.
00:58:33Hmm.
00:58:34Hmm.
00:58:34Hmm.
00:58:35Hmm.
00:58:35Hmm.
00:58:36Hmm.
00:58:37Hmm.
00:58:37Hmm.
00:58:38Hmm.
00:58:39Hmm.
00:58:39Hmm.
00:58:40Hmm.
00:58:43Is this normal, rich people behavior?
00:58:47Just my mouth.
00:58:50I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins.
00:58:51They should arrive shortly.
00:58:53They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:58:56Wow.
00:58:57He remembered all that about me.
00:58:59I remember everything about you.
00:59:05Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:59:10Guys, she's tired.
00:59:12We should leave.
00:59:12Let her rest.
00:59:23Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:59:26Or does he actually care?
00:59:27Hmm.
00:59:28Hmm.
00:59:29Hmm.
00:59:30Hmm.
00:59:31Hmm.
00:59:32Hmm.
00:59:33Hmm.
00:59:34Hmm.
00:59:35Hmm.
00:59:36Hmm.
00:59:37Hmm.
00:59:38Hmm.
00:59:39Hmm.
00:59:40Hmm.
00:59:41Hmm.
00:59:42Hmm.
00:59:43Hmm.
00:59:44Yes, father?
00:59:45Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:59:47Overwork, they say, from cleaning up your company's mess.
00:59:51I have meetings.
00:59:52Cancel them.
00:59:53Go to visit her right now.
00:59:56Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you, or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
01:00:04Hmm.
01:00:21Hmm.
01:00:22You came.
01:00:25Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
01:00:27Hmm.
01:00:30Still so cold.
01:00:32Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was unwell?
01:00:35That was a long time ago.
01:00:38We were really great together, Adrian.
01:00:41We could be together again.
01:00:42I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
01:00:46What we had, I never took it as seriously as you pretended to.
01:00:50But Lila, she's different.
01:00:53She's real.
01:00:55A pregnant gold digger is real?
01:00:58Please.
01:01:05I guess some things never change.
01:01:11Watch your words.
01:01:14Stay away from my wife.
01:01:20My little girl.
01:01:27Daddy.
01:01:30Your hand.
01:01:32It's nothing.
01:01:34I need to tell you something.
01:01:37I'm gonna be a mother.
01:01:39Is it that Ethan Boyce?
01:01:41No, no.
01:01:42Then who?
01:01:44It doesn't matter.
01:01:45But what does matter is that this is my baby.
01:01:49And I'm gonna love them so much.
01:01:52With all the love that you gave me.
01:01:56Baby.
01:01:58I'm so sorry.
01:02:00I'm...
01:02:01Sorry I couldn't...
01:02:02Couldn't give you better.
01:02:04Daddy.
01:02:05If only I were healthy.
01:02:06If I could work.
01:02:07Daddy, don't.
01:02:10The hospital bills.
01:02:11What are you getting money from?
01:02:14Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:02:16No, no.
01:02:17It's not like that.
01:02:19Did someone take advantage of you?
01:02:21My little girl pregnant all alone.
01:02:24She's not alone.
01:02:29Hi Mr. Reid.
01:02:30I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:02:35I'm the father of her child.
01:02:37Adriana.
01:02:38I'm not just the father.
01:02:39I'm the man who's gonna spend the rest of his life making sure your daughter and our child get everything they deserve.
01:02:46Pretty words from the rich man.
01:02:49Not words. Facts.
01:02:51I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:02:53Full treatment plan, best specialists.
01:02:56Adrian.
01:02:58And I promise you this.
01:03:01Every morning, she's gonna wake up knowing that she is cherished.
01:03:05Every decision I make, every step I take will be to ensure her happiness.
01:03:10You really mean that, don't you?
01:03:12Yes sir, I do.
01:03:14Well...
01:03:15Maybe...
01:03:18I can stop worrying now.
01:03:29For...
01:03:30What you said in there.
01:03:31I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:03:33No, no, no, no.
01:03:35I wasn't just doing anything.
01:03:37Every word I said in there is true.
01:03:40Adrian.
01:03:45Laila, I need to tell you something.
01:03:48I've been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
01:03:54Yes, we had a contract, but...
01:03:57I realized...
01:03:59You've become everything to me.
01:04:01You're not my surrogate.
01:04:04You're not my convenient fiance.
01:04:09You're my partner.
01:04:11If you have me.
01:04:15But what about Ethan and Vivian?
01:04:18What about them?
01:04:22Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan?
01:04:24Revenge?
01:04:26I never loved Vivian.
01:04:28And Ethan, he's not worth a second thought.
01:04:30Really?
01:04:32Then who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:04:37That was...
01:04:38I was...
01:04:43I was jealous, okay?
01:04:46I thought of you with him.
01:04:48Wow.
01:04:50The great Mr. Crawford.
01:04:51Jealous.
01:04:53Don't mention it.
01:04:54I have a reputation to maintain.
01:04:56Hmm.
01:05:09I'm not letting you go.
01:05:12Not ever.
01:05:21Surrogacy?
01:05:23Contract marriage?
01:05:25Oh, this is too perfect.
01:05:38I don't know.
01:05:39I don't know.
01:06:01Whiskey.
01:06:02Neat.
01:06:05What's so urgent?
01:06:06I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you.
01:06:10Is this about her and my uncle?
01:06:12It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:06:16Your perfect uncle?
01:06:18He hired her.
01:06:20She's just a surrogate.
01:06:22Their whole engagement is a lie.
01:06:25A contract?
01:06:26The board would love to hear about this.
01:06:32Next week's family meeting.
01:06:35We'll reveal everything.
01:06:37Until then, let's gather more evidence.
01:06:41And once he's ruined...
01:06:43I'll comfort him.
01:06:45Help him rebuild.
01:06:47He'll remember who he truly belongs with.
01:06:49And Lila?
01:06:51Well, once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:06:54You can have your little toy back.
01:06:56Cheers.
01:06:58Um, Ethan's in meetings all afternoon.
01:07:01That's okay, I don't mind waiting.
01:07:02These documents require his immediate attention.
01:07:03Um, Ethan's in meetings all afternoon.
01:07:08That's okay, I don't mind waiting.
01:07:10These documents require his immediate attention.
01:07:14Peter, I'm sorry to hear me.
01:07:16No, no, no.
01:07:18What do you do?
01:07:19What?
01:07:20Uh...
01:07:21Ethan's in meetings all afternoon.
01:07:23That's okay, I don't mind waiting.
01:07:25These documents require his immediate attention.
01:07:29Would you mind getting me some tea, dear?
01:07:34I'm sorry to see agreements, and people contracts, come on, the train's always so organized.
01:07:49Where is everything?
01:07:55It's just a stupid cat.
01:08:01Are you okay?
01:08:14You're a beast! Attach me!
01:08:18I need your bathroom, now!
01:08:24Adrian, I've been waiting for you.
01:08:39You know, if you need an heir, we could make one. Right here. Right now.
01:08:48Lil doesn't have to know. She's already asleep.
01:08:54It could just be our little secret.
01:08:59Here? In the living room?
01:09:04Wherever you want.
01:09:06Someone might see us.
01:09:08Are you scared?
01:09:13I know somewhere more private.
01:09:23Where are we going?
01:09:25Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:09:28Ladies first.
01:09:34Enjoy the fresh air!
01:09:36Adrian! Adrian!
01:09:38You can't do this to me! I'm a Crawford executor!
01:09:47Stop filming me!
01:09:49This is harassment!
01:09:50I will sue you!
01:09:51I will sue you so hard!
01:09:56Adrian! Adrian! Adrian, let me in!
01:09:59Everyone, this crisis could have destroyed us.
01:10:11But thanks to your tireless efforts, Crawford is stronger than ever!
01:10:16To the best team in the business!
01:10:22Though, speaking of tonight's celebration,
01:10:26There's something you all should be prepared for.
01:10:29For what?
01:10:31My uncle is bringing his fiancée tonight.
01:10:35The thing is, her and I were together until very recently.
01:10:42I know, I know, I know.
01:10:45But please, when they arrive, act normal.
01:10:49I couldn't bear any drama.
01:10:51She left you for your uncle?
01:10:54These things happen.
01:10:58Everyone!
01:10:59I'd like to introduce you to my fiancée, Lila Reid.
01:11:03Hello everybody, it's lovely to meet you all.
01:11:06I need to check some numbers.
01:11:10Did I do something wrong?
01:11:20How are you feeling?
01:11:22Is the morning sickness over yet?
01:11:23I'm fine.
01:11:26You know, I've been worried.
01:11:28All this stress can't be good for the baby.
01:11:33Which hospital are you using?
01:11:35I could drive you next time.
01:11:37That's not necessary.
01:11:39Come on.
01:11:41We used to tell each other everything.
01:11:43Just want to make sure you're getting the proper care.
01:11:45If I know her hospital, then I can get her surrogate history.
01:11:50How thoughtful.
01:11:52But Adrian handles all my appointments personally.
01:11:55The real hero of the hour!
01:11:57Beautiful, isn't she?
01:11:58The type of woman who belongs in Adrian's world.
01:12:11Excuse me.
01:12:12You know how my uncle thinks.
01:12:15Like a chess master.
01:12:17Every piece has its use.
01:12:19Some for business.
01:12:22Others for...
01:12:24You don't know him.
01:12:26Oh, but I do.
01:12:28Adrian Crawford cares exactly about one person.
01:12:31Adrian Crawford.
01:12:33He sees people as investments.
01:12:35Vivian?
01:12:37Perfect for managing the company.
01:12:39You?
01:12:40Well.
01:12:41I think we both know what your role is.
01:12:46He's wrong.
01:12:48He has to be wrong.
01:12:49Everyone in this world has their place.
01:13:11Their purpose.
01:13:13Maybe it's time I found mine again.
01:13:19Maybe when's the last time you ate something?
01:13:39I don't know.
01:13:41Breakfast?
01:13:43Yesterday's breakfast.
01:13:47That's enough for today.
01:13:49Okay.
01:13:54The prenatal instructor said this exercise should help.
01:13:58Okay. Like this?
