00:00:00Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:00:27Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:00:34What does that mean?
00:00:40It means...
00:00:43I only want to think about you.
00:00:48My little dove.
00:00:57My little dove.
00:01:04My little dove.
00:01:09My little dove.
00:01:16Well, I can't think of anything more fulfilling than bringing new life into this world.
00:01:21That's beautiful, sweetheart.
00:01:23Did you bring everything I asked for?
00:01:25Oh, yes.
00:01:26Medical records, blood work, it's all there.
00:01:31Everything seems to be in order.
00:01:33You're young.
00:01:34You're healthy.
00:01:35I can already think of several clients who would love you.
00:01:38Oh, that's great.
00:01:39It's a huge relief, honestly.
00:01:41Oh, but...
00:01:42Honey, wait.
00:01:43Your medical records are missing the details of your previous birth.
00:01:47Previous birth?
00:01:48To be a surrogate, you need to have given birth before.
00:01:51It was in the literature we sent over.
00:01:53No.
00:01:54Please.
00:01:55Perhaps you can consider egg donation.
00:01:57That doesn't pay enough.
00:01:58Oh, sweetheart.
00:01:59Egg donation is still a beautiful way to help bring new life into the world.
00:02:03Let me get you a pamphlet.
00:02:05All right.
00:02:07Anyone will follow me again until you know just about 105.
00:02:08If you will follow me, I'm planning to order to make the estado of New York.
00:02:09Whenever I had toγ£γ¦γ up in Nile, I had to go for approximately 800 and 80% of anyone who loved it.

00:15:31i sent my sample to the doctor already
00:15:33so he's just gonna
00:15:35insert her into you
00:15:36how romantic
00:15:38so
00:19:08Nico's on the up-and-up.
00:19:09So Helga told me you went snooping.
00:19:26What a tattletale.
00:19:31I gave you access to every other room in the house.
00:19:34You couldn't respect my one wish?
00:19:35Have you ever read the story of Bluebeard?
00:19:37Obviously not.
00:19:39Okay, well, it's a folk tale about a woman who marries an older man named Bluebeard.
00:19:43She moves in with him, and he allows her access to every room in the house except for one.
00:19:48Sound familiar?
00:19:49So what?
00:19:51So it turns out he had the corpses of six other wives stuffed in the room.
00:19:55You think I went through all this just to kill you?
00:19:59There's easier ways of doing that and much more fun ones.
00:20:03Well, when you tell me something is off limits, I'm going to assume the worst.
00:20:07You are so stubborn.
00:20:09He did not disclose that in the contract before we signed it.
00:20:13Well, you're a secretive.
00:20:15You didn't mention that.
00:20:17And I don't think you're really 6'5".
00:20:18No, I'm 6'5".
00:20:21Come on, Gideon.
00:20:22You can trust me.
00:20:25Who is she?
00:20:26The woman in the painting.
00:20:29She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:32Or any other woman for that matter.
00:20:48Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:21:08Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:21:14What does that mean?
00:21:18That means
00:21:21I only want to think about you.
00:21:28My little dove.
00:21:29What the?
00:21:49What the?
00:21:49What the?

00:26:56a virgin
00:26:58there's a twist
00:27:03i'm very surprised she's quite pretty
00:27:09it's just a little more responsibility than i was prepared for
00:27:15i know it's been a while since you've been with anyone but i'm sure you remember how to do it
00:27:20in fact if i remember correctly jenny mills was a virgin and you slept with her

00:28:01like i'm something fragile they're afraid of breaking
00:28:04no hey please don't tell me what's going on in my own mind

00:43:04you
00:43:05you
00:43:06God, you are so beautiful.
00:43:33You have no idea how mad I am at you.
00:43:36You are incredible today.
00:43:54Have you ever even heard of a boundary?
00:43:58I've closed nine figure deals on seven continents.
00:44:01Of course I've heard of boundaries.
00:44:03I just, I don't know, I thought you'd be more appreciative.
00:44:09How?
00:44:09You totally ignored what I said.
00:44:12Because it wasn't what you wanted.
00:44:14What I want is for Nico to be healthy for his surgery.
00:44:17You jeopardized his health.
00:44:19Do you know how big of a violation that is?
00:44:21It's fine.
00:44:22Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:44:25He's going to get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow.
00:44:27You're not his father.
00:44:28You're not his mother.
00:44:34Alice.
00:44:34No, I don't want to see you.
00:44:37I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want.
00:44:41Tell her we're fighting.
00:44:43No, Alice.
00:44:43Today's the day.
00:44:58First day of the rest of my life.
00:45:01Or the last.
00:45:02We'll see.
00:45:03God, I hate when you say stuff like that.
00:45:05I'm just joking.
00:45:06Relax.
00:45:08It'll be fine.
00:45:09So where's your husband?
00:45:13You know, he doesn't leave the house much.
00:45:16Or at all, apparently.
00:45:18I was hoping he'd be with you.
00:45:22Well, don't worry about me.
00:45:24The doctor is going to take you to the operating room soon.
00:45:26And I will be here the whole time.
00:45:28I know you will be.
00:45:29I know you will be.
00:45:30Gideon.
00:45:57You left the house.
00:45:58It was getting stuffy in there.
00:46:03What are you doing here?
00:46:05I just, I really want to be here with you.
00:46:26I'm a nervous wreck.
00:46:27He's going to be fine.
00:46:29You want to know how I know?
00:46:32How?
00:46:33Because I think you promised.
00:46:38I take these so seriously.
00:46:40Alice?
00:46:58Yes?
00:46:59How is Eve?
00:47:04Nico's surgery was a huge success.
00:47:06They'll bring him in here in just a moment.
00:47:09Okay.
00:47:10Um, so everything went well?
00:47:12Better than we could have hoped for.
00:47:14We'll keep him for two more days and then he'll be free to go home.
00:47:18Two days?
00:47:19Is that enough time?
00:47:21I want him to have around the clock medical care.
00:47:23What if there are complications?
00:47:25We don't foresee any complications.
00:47:27I mean, money's not going to be a concern.
00:47:29Whatever it takes is fine.
00:47:31Money's not a concern for us either.
00:47:33The thing is, I don't think he needs to be here any longer.
00:47:37He'll make a speedy recovery.
00:47:38I don't see if he'll make a speedy recovery.
00:47:51What?
00:47:53Yes, I'm saying.
00:47:55Ouch.
00:47:56Gideon?
00:48:26What are you doing?
00:48:38I want this to be Nico's room.
00:48:42You don't have to do that.
00:48:43It's a big house, there are plenty of rooms.
00:48:46No, I'm ready to move on, to start over.
00:48:53Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:49:02Krista, she was quite the artist, very famous, I'm sure you've heard of her.
00:49:09I'm absolutely sure I haven't.
00:49:14What happened between you two?
00:49:15She lied.
00:49:17She knew I wanted an heir.
00:49:20She had me fall in love with her, all the while knowing that she didn't want to become
00:49:25a mother.
00:49:28Women have always lied.
00:49:31Even when I was a kid, they would lie, just to come to see my house.
00:49:36And then as we grew up, it became more about the gifts and the vacations.
00:49:41My point is, I'm used to it.
00:49:44What made her different?
00:49:49She really had me fooled.
00:49:55You know I had to pay her off, just to never see her again?
00:50:00I was so angry.
00:50:03I didn't want to see anyone, and that's when the rumors started, recluse billionaire, Gideon
00:50:10Maslow.
00:50:12Must be hard to hear people say that about you.
00:50:15No, I didn't care what they said anymore.
00:50:17I had given up on love, but I had never given up on an heir.
00:50:22You know, I'm not going to hurt you like she did.
00:50:27You really can trust me.
00:50:30Can I tell you a secret?
00:50:36I think I believe you.
00:50:58You really can trust me.
00:51:04You and me are the only one.
00:51:05I think I think I believe you.
00:51:07What are you doing?
00:51:08Sure.
00:51:09No, I know.
00:51:11I think I think I am the best friend of mine.
00:51:15I just think I got to be happy to express myself.
00:51:17I bet you can trust me.
00:51:18It is hard to do.
00:51:20I don't know.
00:51:23I don't know.
00:53:55I'm no different than her.
00:53:57I lied to get close to you, and I was only in it for the money,
00:53:59but somewhere along the way, things changed.
00:54:02Okay, I fell in love with you, Gideon.
00:54:06I'm in love with you.
00:54:08That's what Krista said, too.
00:54:10I don't know what to say to make you believe me.
00:54:12Don't try, because it's not going to work.
00:54:15Right, I thought that having a contract
00:54:17would finally take the complications out of everything,
00:54:20letting me finally get an heir to my estate.
00:54:22God, you violated it from the start.
00:54:26You don't want an heir, Gideon.
00:54:28You want a child.
00:54:29You want to be a dad and to have a family,
00:54:31and deep down, you know that.
00:54:33I don't want to leave when the money is paid.
00:54:35I want to stay, and I want to have a family with you.
00:54:38You're not scared that it's fake.
00:54:41You're scared that it might actually be real this time.
00:54:46I feel sorry for you, Gideon.
00:54:48You have everything in this world,
00:54:50and you're going to end up with nothing.
00:55:10Oh!
00:55:11I didn't know you were here.
00:55:13I was going to make the bed.
00:55:16Looks like you already did.
00:55:19Looks like I already did.
00:55:20I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:55:27I know you were really hoping she would be the one,
00:55:31but I guess she was just another one.
00:55:35It makes me question if I could be of assistance.
00:55:40Not unless you can get me an heir.
00:55:42That's actually exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:55:48The last thing I want to do is overstep.
00:55:52It would be my nightmare to learn that I'd cross some sort of boundary.
00:55:55But I think Alice has confused you.
00:55:58Somewhere along the way, she got in your head and made it all mushy-gushy.
00:56:04What happened to you, Gideon?
00:56:05Gideon, you want an heir?
00:56:07Then you need someone you can trust.
00:56:11Someone who you don't need to worry will start feeling feelings or thinking thoughts.
00:56:16Gideon, I've stood by you, unwaveringly, watching these women enter and exit your life.
00:56:25If you really want an heir, the Gideon I know would put one inside me right now.
00:56:33No, she didn't confuse me.
00:56:54She colored me in.
00:56:57Shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:57:03It's never simple with you, is it?
00:57:14I guess not.
00:57:16But I won't be making that mistake again.
00:57:21Which mistake is that?
00:57:24Poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin?
00:57:30Falling in love.
00:57:33Okay.
00:57:40I am going to do something that is very unlike me and actually give a shit for a second.
00:57:51Gideon, aside from the doctor that delivered you, I have known you longer than anyone on this planet.
00:57:57And once I finally kill that doctor, it'll be just me.
00:58:01Through all the parties, all the success, and all the women, I've never seen you as happy as when you are with Alice.
00:58:09I know she lied to you.
00:58:14She lied to me from the very beginning, from the absolute onset.
00:58:18Everything was built on a lie.
00:58:21But if you're going to trust something,
00:58:24trust your heart.
00:58:27Do you really want to lose her?
00:58:29Is it really worth that?
00:58:37So it was never real?
00:58:40It wasn't.
00:58:43Why didn't you tell me?
00:58:44I didn't think you'd understand.
00:58:46You try to protect me way too much, Alice.
00:58:49That's my job.
00:58:50And you've done a good job.
00:58:52You fixed my broken heart.
00:58:56But now I can do all the things that we dreamed about when we were kids.
00:59:00I don't need a mom.
00:59:02I need a sister.
00:59:05I love you so much.
00:59:09Can I tell you something?
00:59:11Always.
00:59:11I really loved him too.
00:59:36Hey.
00:59:38Hi.
00:59:41Well, I'm going to go to my room.
00:59:45Be nice.
00:59:46Hi.
00:59:50I'm sorry for lying to you.
00:59:52No, I'm sorry for giving it all up and wanting to throw it all away.
00:59:58That's not what you do.
00:59:59You know when you love someone.
01:00:03I love you.
01:00:05Alice.
01:00:07I love you, Gideon.
01:00:09I want to be with you and I want a family with you and...
01:00:13That's what I want.
01:00:14I want you forever.
01:00:26What is that?
01:00:27I want you to be with you and I want you to be with you and I want you to be with you and I want you to be with you.
01:00:31I felt a bit weird this morning, so I thought I'd check.
