00:00:00You
00:00:12Where's Dorian?
00:00:14Maybe he's coming any second now
00:00:16Can a husband disappears in a moment like this? He'll be here soon
00:00:21You're just going to get his mom
00:00:23Seriously, thank you, Anita
00:00:25For being here
00:00:27I'm your best friend
00:00:29I wouldn't miss this for the world
00:00:33I'm gonna go grab the doctor
00:00:46Chairman Astor, this gift just came in for you
00:00:49The CEO of Cartelier
00:00:51It's a custom cheetah brooch
00:00:53It's the purest ruby
00:00:55On the planet
00:00:57Not bad
00:01:10Dad?
00:01:12I'm about to have the baby
00:01:14What?
00:01:16Virus
00:01:17What?
00:01:19Are you really walking out on your family?
00:01:22Dad
00:01:24You were wrong about Dorian, okay?
00:01:26He doesn't care about money
00:01:28He loves me
00:01:30And I choose him
00:01:33If you walk through that gate
00:01:35You are no longer my daughter
00:01:38And you'll have nothing to do with the Astor name
00:01:41Ever again
00:01:47Even if you never call me your daughter again
00:01:50I'm still your dad
00:01:54And I love your dad
00:01:56I always will
00:01:59But I choose him
00:02:00Because our love is real dad
00:02:02And I'm gonna prove it to you
00:02:04And I'm gonna prove it to you
00:02:19Congratulations, sir
00:02:21You're gonna be your grandfather
00:02:23Dorian still rubs me the wrong way
00:02:29He barely looks like he could take care of a goldfish
00:02:32Let alone a family
00:02:34Still, Irish chose him
00:02:37And now they're about to have a baby
00:02:40Maybe it's time I gave the guy a chance
00:02:43Get the finest gifts money can buy
00:02:46I want my grandchild to enter the world like royalty
00:02:49I guess I'll finally see if Dorian's truly worthy of Iris
00:02:57If not
00:02:59He'll have me to answer to
00:03:19Mr. Holland
00:03:20Mr. Holland, what's wrong?
00:03:21What happened?
00:03:22You sounded like you were having a heart attack
00:03:24Hurry, I need to get the Baltimore Sierra from the vault
00:03:27I need it delivered to Miss Astor ASAP
00:03:29You're giving that away?
00:03:31I just got word that Miss Astor
00:03:33The richest heiress on earth
00:03:34Is having a baby today
00:03:35We must congratulate it with a most spectacular gift
00:03:38If we pull this off
00:03:39We could have a partnership with THE Astor Dominion
00:03:42We're talking billions, Jessica
00:03:44Billions
00:03:45Now go, run, now
00:03:49A private hospital?
00:04:05Doesn't it cost like two grand a night just to stay here?
00:04:09She's burning through your money like it grows on trees
00:04:12Mom, please don't get worked up
00:04:14The doctor said Iris has placenta previa
00:04:16It's serious
00:04:18There's a real risk of bleeding
00:04:20Oh, Dorian
00:04:22Your wife's just being dramatic
00:04:24And who does she think she is?
00:04:25Some royal heiress or something?
00:04:27This is why we're bleeding money
00:04:30If you let her stay in a fancy hospital like this today
00:04:34Tomorrow, she's gonna wanna live in Nanny
00:04:37And then what? A private chef? A butler?
00:04:40What do I do, Mom?
00:04:42You haven't paid the hospital bill yet, right?
00:04:44No, not yet
00:04:45Good
00:04:47When we get inside, stay quiet and follow my lead
00:04:51Okay, Mom
00:04:52Just remember, no other woman will ever love you as much as Mommy does
00:04:58Oh, my precious baby
00:05:03Iris, placenta previa is serious
00:05:06You need to rest and take it easy
00:05:07We've got you covered around the clock
00:05:10We'll do everything we can to keep you and your little ones safe
00:05:13Thank you
00:05:18Mommy and Daddy are so excited to meet you
00:05:21You are going to be the happiest baby in the entire planet, I promise
00:05:30Tessa, we're in your hair
00:05:32Look at this room
00:05:39This isn't a hospital
00:05:41She's treating labor like it's a spa retreat
00:05:45Do you know that my friend's daughter-in-laws gave birth at local clinics?
00:05:51And it only cost three grand total
00:05:54But your wife is spending two grand a night
00:05:59I don't know, Mom
00:06:01I think she's just trying to do what's best for the baby
00:06:04Oh, Dorian
00:06:06Don't be stupid
00:06:08This has nothing to do with the baby
00:06:11She's flaunting
00:06:13She just wants to tell her friends that she gave birth in some luxury suite
00:06:17I warned you
00:06:19She is not as sweet as she seems
00:06:22If you keep letting her burn through your money like this
00:06:26One day you're gonna wake up with nothing left
00:06:31Then what do I do?
00:06:33Don't worry, my sweet boy
00:06:36You're gonna handle everything, okay?
00:06:38Okay
00:06:40Let's go
00:06:42Tessa, Dorian
00:06:43What were you guys talking about out there?
00:06:44Oh, actually, the doctor said the bill was due
00:06:47Do you think you could take care of that?
00:06:50Iris
00:06:51Do you have any idea what all this costs?
00:06:54A room like this runs 50, 60 grand
00:06:58Dorian busts his ass every day to support this family
00:07:02Stop blowing through his savings
00:07:06And leave this hospital immediately
00:07:10What?
00:07:12What? Leave the hospital?
00:07:14A good wife doesn't rack up mountains of debt
00:07:17Before the baby's even born
00:07:19Could you just think about Dorian for once?
00:07:24Tessa
00:07:26I love him
00:07:28I'm not wasting anyone's money
00:07:30I chose this hospital because I have placentia previa
00:07:33I could bleed out
00:07:34And it's the only hospital that is equipped for that kind of emergency
00:07:37I'm not here for comfort
00:07:39I'm here to protect the baby and make sure that they're safe
00:07:43Dorian
00:07:45I know how hard you work
00:07:48Just let me stay one night and just to make sure the baby is stable and then we can transfer, I promise
00:07:55Son, don't fall for that
00:07:58We don't even know if the baby's coming tonight
00:08:01If she drags this out, it's gonna be thousands more down the drain
00:08:05Tessa, this is between my husband and I
00:08:08Please just give us a moment
00:08:09I'm his mother
00:08:11Dorian's opinion is my opinion
00:08:13Now come on
00:08:15We are leaving this hospital
00:08:17Ow!
00:08:20Dorian
00:08:26Dorian
00:08:27Hey
00:08:30Iris
00:08:31Let's just go to a local clinic
00:08:33Raising a kid is expensive
00:08:34We need to save where we can
00:08:36That's right
00:08:37We're not the bad guys here
00:08:39Tons of women give birth at local hospitals
00:08:42But you are a greedy little leech
00:08:46And I'm not letting you bleed my son dry
00:08:49What do you think he is?
00:08:51Your personal ATM?
00:08:53I'm not trying to waste anyone's money
00:08:54I have a low-lying placenta
00:08:57And if something goes wrong
00:08:59The BB could die
00:09:01Don't go soft on her
00:09:03Let her play you
00:09:05Every pregnant woman has complications
00:09:07Just because it's risky
00:09:08Doesn't mean it's gonna happen
00:09:10If you cave now
00:09:12She will bleed you dry for the rest of your life
00:09:15You're right mom
00:09:17Thanks for always having my back
00:09:19Mhmm
00:09:20I'm here for you
00:09:21Unlike certain people
00:09:24I will never let someone make a fool of you
00:09:28Iris
00:09:30If you wanna stay in this hospital
00:09:32Fine
00:09:33But you're gonna pay for it yourself
00:09:35I'm not letting a greedy little wife like you
00:09:40Waste one more cent of my son's money
00:09:44Something's wrong with me
00:09:46I think you called an entrepreneur
00:09:48Please
00:09:49No
00:09:50Do not take one more step
00:09:52Until she agrees to pay for it herself
00:09:53I'll see Iris first
00:09:54You wait here
00:09:55I'll see Iris first
00:10:09You wait here
00:10:11I'll see Iris first
00:10:13You wait here
00:10:14Do not take one more step
00:10:16Until she agrees to pay for it herself
00:10:18Dorian, what happened to you?
00:10:20Okay, I'm all about to pay for it
00:10:22Hi, could you settle the bill with us please?
00:10:23Thank you
00:10:24I'll see Iris first
00:10:26I'll see Iris first
00:10:27You wait here
00:10:28See?
00:10:29She had the cash all along
00:10:32Women like her
00:10:34Always pretend that they're broke
00:10:35Until it's time to spend your money
00:10:36She doesn't feel the pressure now
00:10:37She's never gonna pay for it
00:10:38She agrees to pay for it herself
00:10:39Dorian, what happened to you?
00:10:40Okay
00:10:41I'm all about to pay for it
00:10:42Hi
00:10:43Could you settle the bill with us please?
00:10:44Thank you
00:10:45See?
00:10:46She had the cash all along
00:10:49Women like her
00:10:50Always pretend that they're broke
00:10:52Until it's time to spend your money
00:10:55She doesn't feel the pressure now
00:10:57She's never gonna know what it takes
00:10:59To keep a family afloat
00:11:01You're right mom, you always are
00:11:03You really are the only person
00:11:04That's truly looking out for me
00:11:06That's right
00:11:07Very precious baby boy
00:11:10I'm sorry ma'am, your card was declined
00:11:13You're short about $20,000
00:11:15If you can't pay
00:11:17We have to discharge you
00:11:20This is everything I have left
00:11:26Is she really broke?
00:11:28Doesn't make any sense
00:11:30With her three jobs she should have saved
00:11:31At least $20,000
00:11:33Yeah, well that's because I cover all the household bills
00:11:36And ever since I got pregnant
00:11:37Everything has been going to prenatal stuff
00:11:39Vitamins, supplements, hospital visits
00:11:41I mean it all adds up, Dorian
00:11:44What on earth has she been through these past three years?
00:11:48Dorian, can you just...
00:11:50Please just consider it alone
00:11:51Just...
00:11:53I swear I'll pay you back
00:11:55Absolutely not
00:11:57Don't fall for this
00:11:59Every wife stashes emergency cash
00:12:03Did you see how she pulled that card out like it was nothing?
00:12:05Do you think it's her only one?
00:12:07She's still hiding money
00:12:09I know she is
00:12:10Dory
00:12:16Dory, please...
00:12:17Please just help me pay the $20,000
00:12:19I swear I'll pay you back
00:12:22Don't fall for her act
00:12:24I know what you're playing at
00:12:26You're trying to squeeze money out of Dory
00:12:29And then you're just gonna run away without paying a cent
00:12:33How could you say that?
00:12:34How could you say that?
00:12:38Okay...
00:12:40Okay, Dorian
00:12:42I think something's wrong with the baby
00:12:44The baby's in trouble
00:12:46You're not fooling anyone
00:12:48If you're really so broke
00:12:50Why are you insisting on staying at such a luxury hospital?
00:12:54You've already drained him dry
00:12:57What more do you want from him?
00:12:59Dorian...
00:13:01Please, I am begging you
00:13:02Please just say something
00:13:04Don't fall for her drama
00:13:06You have two choices
00:13:08Either we can transfer her to a cheaper hospital
00:13:11Or she can pay for everything herself
00:13:13And if she doesn't want to do either
00:13:16Then we don't want the baby anyway
00:13:19Okay
00:13:21I'll listen to you, Mom
00:13:24Okay
00:13:26I'll listen to you, Mom
00:13:27Dorian, I gave up my family to be with you
00:13:30And when you started your business, I supported you
00:13:33I gave you everything that I have
00:13:37I mean, I paid for the mortgage and the car payments
00:13:39I have nothing left
00:13:40Please save us the sob story
00:13:44You ruined your own ties with your family
00:13:47Don't blame Dorian for that
00:13:49If you want to stay here
00:13:51Then fine
00:13:52Pay for it yourself
00:13:54But the Bates family is not paying a single cent
00:14:01Dorian, it hurts
00:14:03Please, can I just...
00:14:05Can I just see a doctor of hers?
00:14:06Oh my God, Iris
00:14:08Stop acting like the victim
00:14:09Now it all makes sense
00:14:11You stayed here to show off
00:14:13When did he become so shallow?
00:14:15He used to become shallow
00:14:18Well, aren't you?
00:14:20If you were really worried about the baby
00:14:23Why wouldn't you take out a loan?
00:14:25This is 2025
00:14:27There's apps for that
00:14:28You want me to take out a highly predatory
00:14:31A high interest loan to give birth
00:14:34Who's gonna be your grandchild?
00:14:35I mean, how could you be so heartless?
00:14:38Are you really guilt-tripping me right now?
00:14:42You're the one refusing to pay for your own baby
00:14:45God, in my day, we didn't need luxury hospitals to give birth
00:14:49We gave birth at home for free
00:14:52I don't know what my son saw in a gold digger like you
00:14:56This is ridiculous
00:14:57I didn't marry Dorian for the money
00:15:01Stop lying!
00:15:03If you weren't after our money
00:15:06Why haven't you taken out the loan yet?
00:15:09Quit stalling!
00:15:13That hurts!
00:15:14That hurts!
00:15:18Bastards!
00:15:19How dare you treat my precious daughter like this!
00:15:22BELL RINGS
00:15:40Where's Dorian?
00:15:42My baby's coming any second now
00:15:44What kind of husband disappears in a moment like this?
00:15:47He'll be here soon
00:15:48He's going to get his mom
00:15:51Seriously, thank you Anita
00:15:53For being here
00:15:55I'm your best friend
00:15:57I wouldn't miss this for the world
00:16:00I'm gonna go grab the doctor
00:16:02Chairman Astor, this gift just came in for you
00:16:16The CEO of Cartelier
00:16:19It's a custom cheetah broach
00:16:21It's the purest ruby

00:16:25Not bad
00:16:38Dad?
00:16:40I'm about to have the baby
00:16:42What?!
00:16:44Virus!
00:16:46What?
00:16:47Are you really walking out on your family?
00:16:51Dad!
00:16:52You were wrong about Dorian, okay?
00:16:55He doesn't care about money
00:16:57He loves me
00:16:59And I choose him
00:17:01If you walk through that gate
00:17:04You are no longer my daughter
00:17:07And you'll have nothing to do with the Astor name
00:17:09Ever again
00:17:11Even if you never call me your daughter again
00:17:14Even if you never call me your daughter again
00:17:18I'm still your dad
00:17:20And I love your dad
00:17:22I always will
00:17:25But I choose him
00:17:28Because our love is real dad
00:17:30And I'm gonna prove it to you
00:17:32I'm gonna prove it to you
00:17:33I'm gonna prove it to you
00:17:47Congratulations, sir
00:17:49You're gonna be your grandfather
00:17:51Dorian still rubs me the wrong way
00:17:57He barely looks like he could take care of a goldfish
00:18:00Let alone a family
00:18:02Still, Irish chose him
00:18:05And now they're about to have a baby
00:18:08Maybe it's time I gave the guy a chance
00:18:10Get the finest gifts money can buy
00:18:14I want my grandchild to enter the world like royalty
00:18:17Guess I'll finally see if Dorian's truly worthy of Iris
00:18:24If not
00:18:26Oh, he'll have me to answer to
00:18:40Mr. Holland, Mr. Holland, what's wrong? What happened? You sounded like you were having a heart attack
00:18:52Hurry, I need to get the Baltimore Tierra from the vault
00:18:55I need it delivered to Miss Astor ASAP
00:18:57You're giving that away?
00:18:59I just got word that Miss Astor, the richest heiress on earth, is having a baby today
00:19:03We must congratulate her with the most spectacular gift
00:19:05If we pull this off, we could have a partnership with THE Astor Dominion
00:19:10We're talking billions, Jessica! Billions!
00:19:13Now go! Run! Now!
00:19:31A private hospital?
00:19:32Doesn't it cost like two grand a night just to stay here?
00:19:36She's burning through your money like it grows on trees
00:19:40Mom, please don't get worked up
00:19:42The doctor said Iris has placenta previa
00:19:44It's serious! There's a real risk of bleeding
00:19:47Oh, Dorian!
00:19:49Your wife's just being dramatic
00:19:51And who does she think she is? Some royal heiress or something?
00:19:54This is why we're bleeding money
00:19:57If you let her stay in a fancy hospital like this today
00:20:00Tomorrow, she's gonna wanna live in Nanny
00:20:04And then what? A private chef? A butler?
00:20:08What do I do, Mom?
00:20:10You haven't paid the hospital bill yet, right?
00:20:12No, not yet
00:20:13Good
00:20:15When we get inside, stay quiet and follow my lead
00:20:19Okay, Mom
00:20:20Just remember, no other woman will ever love you as much as Mommy does
00:20:26Oh, my precious baby
00:20:30Iris, placenta previa is serious
00:20:34You need to rest and take it easy
00:20:36We've got you covered around the clock
00:20:37We'll do everything we can to keep you and your little ones safe
00:20:41Thank you
00:20:46Mommy and Daddy are so excited to meet me
00:20:49You are going to be the happiest baby in the entire planet, I promise
00:20:58Tessa, we're in your hair
00:21:00Look at this room
00:21:07This isn't a hospital
00:21:09She's treating labor like it's a spa retreat
00:21:13Do you know that my friend's daughter-in-laws gave birth at local clinics?
00:21:19And it only cost three grand total
00:21:22But your wife is spending two grand a night
00:21:27I don't know, Mom
00:21:28I think she's just trying to do what's best for the baby
00:21:31Oh, Dorian
00:21:33Don't be stupid
00:21:35This has nothing to do with the baby
00:21:38She's flaunting
00:21:40She just wants to tell her friends that she gave birth in some luxury suite
00:21:45I warned you
00:21:47She is not as sweet as she seems
00:21:50If you keep letting her burn through your money like this
00:21:54One day you're gonna wake up with nothing left
00:21:59Then what do I do?
00:22:01Don't worry, my sweet boy
00:22:04You're gonna handle everything, okay?
00:22:06Okay
00:22:08Let's go
00:22:10Tessa, Dorian
00:22:11What were you guys chatting about out there?
00:22:12Oh, actually, um
00:22:14The doctor said the bill was due
00:22:15Do you think you could take care of that?
00:22:17Iris
00:22:19Do you have any idea what all this costs?
00:22:22A room like this runs 50, 60 grand
00:22:25Dorian busts his ass every day to support this family
00:22:30Stop blowing through his savings
00:22:33And leave this hospital immediately
00:22:38What?
00:22:40What? Leave the hospital?
00:22:41A good wife doesn't rack up mountains of debt before the baby's even born
00:22:47Could you just think about Dorian for once?
00:22:52Tessa
00:22:54I love him
00:22:56I'm not wasting anyone's money
00:22:58I chose this hospital because I have placentia previa
00:23:01I could bleed out
00:23:02And it's the only hospital that is equipped for that kind of emergency
00:23:05I'm not here for comfort
00:23:08I'm here to protect the baby
00:23:10Make sure that they're safe
00:23:12Dorian
00:23:14I know how hard you work
00:23:16Just let me stay one night
00:23:19And just to make sure the baby is stable
00:23:22And then we can transfer, I promise
00:23:24Son, don't fall for that
00:23:26We don't even know if the baby's coming tonight
00:23:29If she drags this out
00:23:31It's gonna be thousands more down the drain
00:23:33Tessa, this is between my husband and I
00:23:35Please just give us a moment
00:23:38I'm his mother
00:23:39Dorian's opinion is my opinion
00:23:41Now come on
00:23:42We are leaving this hospital
00:23:45Ow!
00:23:48Dorian
00:23:54Dorian
00:23:57Iris
00:23:59Let's just go to a local clinic
00:24:01Raising a kid is expensive
00:24:02We need to save where we can
00:24:03That's right
00:24:05We're not the bad guys here
00:24:07Tons of women give birth at local hospitals
00:24:10But you are a greedy little leech
00:24:14And I'm not letting you bleed my son dry
00:24:17What do you think he is?
00:24:19Your personal ATM?
00:24:21I'm not trying to waste anyone's money
00:24:23I have a low-lying placenta
00:24:25And if something goes wrong
00:24:27The BB could die
00:24:28Don't go soft on her
00:24:31Let her play you
00:24:33Every pregnant woman has complications
00:24:35Just because it's risky
00:24:36Doesn't mean it's gonna happen
00:24:38If you cave now
00:24:40She will bleed you dry for the rest of your life
00:24:43You're right, Mom
00:24:45Thanks for always having my back
00:24:47Mm-hmm
00:24:49I'm here for you
00:24:50Unlike certain people
00:24:52I will never let someone make a fool of you
00:24:56Iris
00:24:58If you wanna stay in this hospital
00:25:00Fine
00:25:01But you're gonna pay for it yourself
00:25:03I'm not letting a greedy little wife like you
00:25:08Waste one more cent of my son's money
00:25:11Ah!
00:25:13Something's wrong with me
00:25:14You call the doctor, please
00:25:15No!
00:25:17Do not take one more step
00:25:19Until she agrees to pay for it herself
00:25:44Dorian, what happened to you?
00:25:45Okay, well, I know I'll pay for it
00:25:47Hi, could you settle the bill with us, please?
00:25:49Thank you
00:25:50See?
00:25:52Yes
00:25:53Yes
00:25:54Yes
00:25:55Yes
00:25:56Yes
00:25:57Yes
00:25:58Yes
00:25:59Yes
00:26:00Yes
00:26:01Yes
00:26:02Yes
00:26:03Yes
00:26:04Yes
00:26:05Yes
00:26:06Yes
00:26:07Yes
00:26:08Yes
00:26:10Yes
00:26:11Yes
00:26:12Yes
00:26:13Yes
00:26:14I had the cash all along
00:26:17Women like her
00:26:19Always pretend that they're broke
00:26:21Until it's time to spend your money
00:26:23She doesn't feel the pressure now
00:26:25She's never gonna know what it takes to keep a family afloat
00:26:29You're right, mom, you always are
00:26:31You really are the only person that's truly looking out for me
00:26:34That's right, very precious baby boy
00:26:38I'm sorry, ma'am, your card was declined
00:26:41You're short about $20,000
00:26:42If you can't pay, we have to discharge you
00:26:44This is everything I have left
00:26:45Is she really broke?
00:26:46Doesn't make any sense
00:26:47With her three jobs, she should have saved at least 20 grand
00:26:48Yeah, well that's because I cover all the household bills
00:26:49Yeah, well that's because I cover all the household bills
00:26:51And ever since I got pregnant, everything has been going to prenatal stuff, vitamins, supplements, hospital visits, I mean it all adds up, Dorian
00:26:54What on earth has she been through these past three years?
00:26:55What on earth has she been through these past three years?
00:26:56Brian, can you just...
00:26:57Please just consider it alone, just...
00:26:58I swear I'll wear you back
00:26:59Absolutely not!
00:27:00Don't fall for this!
00:27:01Every wife stashes emergency cash
00:27:04Did you see how she pulled that card out like it was nothing?
00:27:07Do you think it's her only one?
00:27:08She's still hiding money
00:27:09I know she is
00:27:10She's still hiding money
00:27:11I know she didn't
00:27:37I know she is.
00:27:43Dory, please. Please just help me pay the 20 grand. I swear. I'll pay you back.
00:27:49Don't fall for her act.
00:27:52I know what you're playing at. You're trying to squeeze money out of Dory.
00:27:56And then you're just gonna run away without paying a cent.
00:28:00How could you say that?
00:28:02Oh, okay. Okay, Dory.
00:28:09I think something's going to happen with the baby. The baby's in trouble.
00:28:13You're not fooling anyone.
00:28:15If you're really so broke, why are you insisting on staying at such a luxury hospital?
00:28:22You've already drained him dry.
00:28:25What more do you want from him?
00:28:27Dory, Dory, please. I'm begging you. Please just say something.
00:28:30Hey, don't fall for her drama.
00:28:34You have two choices. Either we can transfer her to a cheaper hospital, or she can pay for everything herself.
00:28:40And if she doesn't want to do either, then we don't want the baby anyway.
00:28:46Okay. I'll listen to you, Mom.
00:28:49Okay. I'll listen to you, Mom.
00:28:55Dory, I gave up my family to be with you.
00:28:58And when you started your business, I supported you.
00:29:01I gave you everything that I have.
00:29:03I mean, I paid for the mortgage in the car, baby. I have nothing left.
00:29:08Please save us the sob story.
00:29:12You ruined your own ties with your family.
00:29:15Don't blame Dory for that.
00:29:16If you want to stay here, then fine.
00:29:20Pay for it yourself.
00:29:21But the Bates family is not paying a single cent.
00:29:29It hurts.
00:29:31Please, can I just...
00:29:32Can I just see a doctor of hers?
00:29:34Oh, my God, Iris. Stop acting like the victim.
00:29:37Now it all makes sense.
00:29:39You stayed here to show off.
00:29:41When did he become so shallow?
00:29:43He's become shallow.
00:29:45Well, aren't you?
00:29:47If you were really worried about the baby,
00:29:50why wouldn't you take out a loan?
00:29:52This is 2025.
00:29:54There's apps for that.
00:29:55You want me to take out a highly predatory,
00:29:59high-interest loan to give birth.
00:30:02Who's going to be your grandchild?
00:30:04I mean, how could you be so heartless?
00:30:06Are you really guilt-tripping me right now?
00:30:10You're the one refusing to pay for your own baby.
00:30:12God, in my day, we didn't need luxury hospitals to give birth.
00:30:17We gave birth at home for free.
00:30:20I don't know what my son saw in a gold digger like you.
00:30:24This is ridiculous.
00:30:26I didn't marry Dorian for the money.
00:30:28Stop lying!
00:30:31If you weren't after our money,
00:30:34why haven't you taken out the loan yet?
00:30:36Quit stalling.
00:30:38BASTARDS!
00:30:46How dare you treat my precious daughter like this!
00:30:49BASTARDS!
00:30:50How dare you treat my precious daughter like this!
00:30:53Where's Dorian?
00:31:10Maybe he's coming any second now.
00:31:12What kind of husband disappears in a moment like this?
00:31:15He'll be here soon.
00:31:17He's going to get his mom.
00:31:17Seriously, thank you, Anita, for being here.
00:31:23I'm your best friend.
00:31:25I wouldn't miss this for the world.
00:31:28I'm going to go grab the doctor.
00:31:29Chairman Astor,
00:31:43the skip just came in for you.
00:31:45The CEO of Cartelier.
00:31:47It's a custom cheetah brooch.
00:31:49It's the purest ruby on the planet.
00:31:52Not bad.
00:31:53Dad?
00:32:06Dad?
00:32:07I'm about to have the baby.
00:32:09What?
00:32:12Virus!
00:32:14What?
00:32:15Are you really walking out on your family?
00:32:18Dad!
00:32:20You were wrong about Dorian, okay?
00:32:22He doesn't care about money.
00:32:25He loves me.
00:32:26And I choose him.
00:32:29If you walk through that gate,
00:32:32you are no longer my daughter.
00:32:35And you'll have nothing to do with the Astor name ever again.
00:32:42Even if you never call me your daughter again,
00:32:45I'm still your dad.
00:32:49And I love you, Dad.
00:32:51I always will.
00:32:54But I choose him.
00:32:56Because our love is real, Dad.
00:32:59And I'm going to prove it to you.
00:33:01Congratulations, sir.
00:33:16You're going to be your grandfather.
00:33:22Dorian still rubs me the wrong way.
00:33:24He barely looks like he could take care of a goldfish,
00:33:28let alone a family.
00:33:30Still, Iris chose him.
00:33:33And now they're about to have a baby.
00:33:36Maybe it's time I gave the guy a chance.
00:33:39Get the finest gifts money can buy.
00:33:41I want my grandchild to enter the world like royalty.
00:33:48I guess I'll finally see if Dorian's truly worthy of Iris.
00:33:52If not,
00:33:54he'll have me to answer to.
00:33:57Mr. Holland!
00:34:15Mr. Holland, what's wrong?
00:34:17What happened?
00:34:17You sounded like you were having a heart attack.
00:34:19Hurry.
00:34:20I need to get the Baltimore Sierra from the vault.
00:34:22I need it delivered to Miss Astor ASAP!
00:34:24You're giving that away?
00:34:26I just got word that Miss Astor,
00:34:28the richest heiress on Earth,
00:34:29is having a baby today.
00:34:31We must congratulate you with a most spectacular gift.
00:34:33If we pull this off,
00:34:34we could have a partnership with THE Astor Dominion.
00:34:38We're talking billions, Jessica!
00:34:40Billions!
00:34:40Now go!
00:34:41Run!
00:34:42Now!
00:34:54A private hospital?
00:35:01Doesn't it cost like two grand a night just to stay here?
00:35:04She's burning through your money like it grows on trees.
00:35:07Mom, please don't get worked up.
00:35:09The doctor said Iris has placenta previa.
00:35:12It's serious.
00:35:13There's a real risk of bleeding.
00:35:15Oh, Dorian!
00:35:17Your wife's just being dramatic.
00:35:19And who does she think she is?
00:35:20Some royal heiress or something?
00:35:22This is why we're bleeding money.
00:35:25If you let her stay in a fancy hospital like this today,
00:35:29tomorrow she's going to want to live in Nanny.
00:35:32And then what?
00:35:33A private chef?
00:35:34A butler?
00:35:36What do I do, Mom?
00:35:38You haven't paid the hospital bill yet, right?
00:35:40No, not yet.
00:35:41Good.
00:35:42When we get inside, stay quiet and follow my lead.
00:35:46Okay, Mom.
00:35:47Just remember, no other woman will ever love you as much as Mommy does.
00:35:53Oh, my precious baby.
00:35:58Iris, placenta previa is serious.
00:36:01You need to rest and take it easy.
00:36:03We've got you covered around the clock.
00:36:05We'll do everything we can to keep you and your little ones safe.
00:36:11Mommy and Daddy are so excited to meet you.
00:36:17You are going to be the happiest baby in the entire planet, I promise.
00:36:26Tessa, we're in your hair.
00:36:27Yeah.
00:36:32Look at this room.
00:36:35This isn't a hospital.
00:36:37She's treating labor like it's a spara treat.
00:36:40Do you know that my friend's daughter-in-law's gave birth at local clinics, and it only cost three grand total.
00:36:50But your wife is spending two grand a night.
00:36:54I don't know, Mom.
00:36:56I think she's just trying to do what's best for the baby.
00:36:58Oh.
00:36:59Oh, Dorian.
00:37:01Don't be stupid.
00:37:02This has nothing to do with the baby.
00:37:05She's flaunting.
00:37:07She just wants to tell her friends that she gave birth in some luxury suite.
00:37:12I warned you, she is not as sweet as she seems.
00:37:17If you keep letting her burn through your money like this, one day you're going to wake up with nothing left.
00:37:25Then what do I do?
00:37:29Don't worry, my sweet boy.
00:37:31You're going to handle everything, okay?
00:37:34Okay.
00:37:35Let's go.
00:37:37Tessa, Dorian.
00:37:38What were you guys chatting about out there?
00:37:40Oh, actually, um, the doctor said the bill was due.
00:37:43Do you think you could take care of that?
00:37:44Oh, Iris, do you have any idea what all this costs?
00:37:49A room like this runs 50, 60 grand.
00:37:53Dorian busts his ass every day to support this family.
00:37:57Stop blowing through his savings and leave this hospital immediately.
00:38:06What?
00:38:07What?
00:38:08Leave the hospital.
00:38:09A good wife doesn't rack up mountains of debt before the baby's even born.
00:38:14Could you just think about Dorian for once?
00:38:20Tessa, I love him.
00:38:23I'm not wasting anyone's money.
00:38:25I chose this hospital because I had placentia previa.
00:38:28I could bleed out.
00:38:29And it's the only hospital that is equipped for that kind of emergency.
00:38:33I'm not here for comfort.
00:38:36I'm here to protect the baby and make sure that they're safe.
00:38:39Dorian, I know how hard you work.
00:38:43God, just let me stay one night and just, just to make sure the baby is stable and then we can transfer, I promise.
00:38:51Son, don't fall for that.
00:38:53We don't even know if the baby's coming tonight.
00:38:56If she drags this out, it's going to be thousands more down the drain.
00:39:01Tessa, this is between my husband and I.
00:39:03Please just give us a moment.
00:39:05I'm his mother.
00:39:07Dorian's opinion is my opinion.
00:39:09Now, come on.
00:39:10We are leaving this hospital.
00:39:12Ow!
00:39:16Dorian!
00:39:22Dorian!
00:39:22Iris, let's just go to a local clinic.
00:39:28Raising a kid is expensive.
00:39:30We need to save where we can.
00:39:31That's right.
00:39:32We're not the bad guys here.
00:39:34Tons of women give birth at local hospitals.
00:39:37But you are a greedy little leech.
00:39:41And I'm not letting you bleed my son dry.
00:39:44What do you think he is?
00:39:46Your personal ATM?
00:39:48I'm not trying to waste anyone's money.
00:39:50I have a low-lying placenta.
00:39:53And if something goes wrong, the BB could die.
00:39:56Don't go soft on her.
00:39:58Let her play you.
00:40:00Every pregnant woman has complications.
00:40:03Just because it's risky doesn't mean it's going to happen.
00:40:05If you cave now, she will bleed you dry for the rest of your life.
00:40:11You're right, Mom.
00:40:12Thanks for always having my back.
00:40:14Mm-hmm.
00:40:15Mom, I'm here for you.
00:40:17Unlike certain people, I will never let someone make a fool of you.
00:40:24Iris, if you want to stay in this hospital, fine.
00:40:28But you're going to pay for it yourself.
00:40:30I'm not letting a greedy little wife like you waste one more cent of my son's money.
00:40:40Something's wrong with me.
00:40:42You called the doctor, please.
00:40:43No.
00:40:44Do not take one more step until she agrees to pay for it herself.
00:40:49I'll see Iris first.
00:41:16You wait here.
00:41:20Do not take one more step until she agrees to pay for it herself.
00:41:26Dorian, what happened to you?
00:41:28Okay.
00:41:29I'll let her know about pay for it.
00:41:35Hi.
00:41:36Could you settle the bill with us, please?
00:41:40See?
00:41:41She had the cash all along.
00:41:45Women like her always pretend that they're broke until it's time to spend your money.
00:41:50She doesn't feel the pressure now.
00:41:53She's never going to know what it takes to keep a family afloat.
00:41:56You're right, Mom.
00:41:57You always are.
00:41:58You really are the only person that's truly looking out for me.
00:42:01That's right.
00:42:02Very precious baby boy.
00:42:04I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:42:07Your card was declined.
00:42:08You're short about $20,000.
00:42:11If you can't pay, we have to discharge you.
00:42:14This is everything I have left.
00:42:21Is she really broke?
00:42:23Doesn't make any sense.
00:42:25With her three jobs, she should have saved at least $20,000.
00:42:28Yeah, well, that's because I cover all the household bills.
00:42:31And ever since I got pregnant, everything has been going to prenatal stuff.
00:42:34Vitamins, supplements, hospital visits.
00:42:37I mean, it all adds up, Dorian.
00:42:39What on earth has she been through these past three years?
00:42:42Dorian, can you just...
00:42:45Please, just consider it alone.
00:42:47Just...
00:42:48I swear, I'll pay you back.
00:42:50Absolutely not.
00:42:52Don't fall for this.
00:42:54Every wife stashes emergency cash.
00:42:58Did you see how she pulled that card out like it was nothing?
00:43:01Do you think it's her only one?
00:43:02She's still hiding money.
00:43:05I know she is.
00:43:11Dorian, please.
00:43:12Please just help me pay the 20 grand.
00:43:14I swear, I will pay you back.
00:43:17Don't fall for her act.
00:43:19I know what you're playing at.
00:43:21You're trying to squeeze money out of Dorian.
00:43:24And then you're just going to run away without paying a cent.
00:43:28How could you say that?
00:43:30You're not fooling anyone.
00:43:43If you're really so broke, why are you insisting on staying at such a luxury hospital?
00:43:49You've already drained him dry.
00:43:52What more do you want from him?
00:43:55Dorian, Dorian, please.
00:43:56I am begging you.
00:43:57Please just say something.
00:43:59Don't fall for her drama.
00:44:01You have two choices.
00:44:03Either we can transfer her to a cheaper hospital, or she can pay for everything herself.
00:44:07And if she doesn't want to do either, then we don't want the baby anyway.
00:44:14Okay.
00:44:16I'll listen to you, Mom.
00:44:19Okay.
00:44:21I'll listen to you, Mom.
00:44:23Dorian, I gave up my family to be with you.
00:44:24And when you started your business, I supported you.
00:44:28I gave you everything that I have.
00:44:32I mean, I paid for the mortgage and the car payments.
00:44:34I have nothing left.
00:44:36Please save us the sob story.
00:44:40You ruined your own ties with your family.
00:44:42Don't blame Dorian for that.
00:44:44If you want to stay here, then fine.
00:44:48Pay for it yourself.
00:44:49But the Bates family is not paying a single cent.
00:44:54It hurt, it hurts.
00:44:58Please, can I just see a doctor of hers?
00:45:02Oh my God, Iris.
00:45:03Stop acting like the victim.
00:45:05Now it all makes sense.
00:45:07You stayed here to show off.
00:45:09When did you become so shallow?
00:45:11You become shallow.
00:45:13Well, aren't you?
00:45:15If you were really worried about the baby, why wouldn't you take out a loan?
00:45:20This is 2025.
00:45:22There's apps for that.
00:45:23You want me to take out a highly predatory, high-interest loan to give birth.
00:45:29Who's going to be your grandchild?
00:45:31I mean, how could you be so heartless?
00:45:34Are you really guilt-tripping me right now?
00:45:37You're the one refusing to pay for your own baby.
00:45:40God, in my day, we didn't need luxury hospitals to give birth.
00:45:45We gave birth at home for free.
00:45:48I don't know what my son saw in a gold digger like you.
00:45:52This is ridiculous.
00:45:53I didn't marry Dorian for the money.
00:45:56Stop lying!
00:45:58If you weren't after our money, why haven't you taken out the loan yet?
00:46:04Quit stalling!
00:46:08That hurts!
00:46:13Bastards!
00:46:14How dare you treat my precious daughter like this!
00:46:28Where's Dorian?
00:46:37My baby's coming any second now.
00:46:40What kind of husband disappears in a moment like this?
00:46:42He'll be here soon.
00:46:44He's going to get his mom.
00:46:45Seriously, thank you, Anita.
00:46:48For being here.
00:46:50I'm your best friend.
00:46:52I wouldn't miss this for the world.
00:46:56I'm going to go grab the doctor.
00:47:09Chairman Astor, this gift just came in for you.
00:47:12The CEO of Cartelier.
00:47:14It's a custom cheetah brooch.
00:47:17It's the purest droopy on the planet.
00:47:20Not bad.
00:47:33Dad?
00:47:35I'm about to have the baby.
00:47:37What?
00:47:40Virus!
00:47:42What?
00:47:42Are you really walking out on your family?
00:47:46Dad!
00:47:47You were wrong about Dorian, okay?
00:47:50He doesn't care about money!
00:47:52He loves me!
00:47:54And I choose him!
00:47:56If you walk through that gate, you are no longer my daughter.
00:48:02And you'll have nothing to do with the Astor name ever again!
00:48:05Even if you never call me your daughter again, I'm still your dad.
00:48:17And I love you, dad.
00:48:19I always will.
00:48:22But I choose him.
00:48:23Because our love is real, dad.
00:48:25And I'm going to prove it to you.
00:48:28Congratulations, sir.
00:48:44You're going to be your grandfather.
00:48:45Dorian still rubs me the wrong way.
00:48:53He barely looks like he could take care of a goldfish, let alone a family.
00:48:58Still, Irish chose him.
00:49:00And now they're about to have a baby.
00:49:03Maybe it's time I gave the guy a chance.
00:49:07Get the finest gifts money can buy.
00:49:09I want my grandchild to enter the world like royalty.
00:49:15I guess I'll finally see if Dorian's truly worthy of Iris.
00:49:20If not, he'll have me to answer to.
00:49:39Mr. Holland, Mr. Holland, what's wrong?
00:49:44What happened?
00:49:45You sounded like you were having a heart attack.
00:49:47Hurry, I need to get the Baltimore Sierra from the vault.
00:49:50I need it delivered to Miss Astor ASAP.
00:49:52You're giving that away?
00:49:54I just got word that Miss Astor, the richest heiress on Earth, is having a baby today.
00:49:58We must congratulate her with a most spectacular gift.
00:50:01If we pull this off, we could have a partnership with THE Astor Dominion.
00:50:05We're talking billions, Jessica.
00:50:08Billions.
00:50:08No, go!
00:50:09Run!
00:50:10Now!
00:50:24A private hospital?
00:50:28Doesn't it cost like two grand a night just to stay here?
00:50:32She's burning through your money like it grows on trees.
00:50:35Mom, please don't get worked up.
00:50:37The doctor said Iris has placenta previa.
00:50:39It's serious.
00:50:40There's a real risk of bleeding.
00:50:42Oh, Dorian.
00:50:44Your wife's just being dramatic.
00:50:47And who does she think she is?
00:50:48Some royal heiress or something?
00:50:49This is why we're bleeding money.
00:50:52If you let her stay in a fancy hospital like this today, tomorrow, she's going to want to live in Nanny.
00:50:59And then what?
00:51:01A private chef?
00:51:02A butler?
00:51:03What do I do, Mom?
00:51:04What do I do, Mom?
00:51:05You haven't paid the hospital bill yet, right?
00:51:07No, not yet.
00:51:09Good.
00:51:10When we get inside, stay quiet and follow my lead.
00:51:14Okay, Mom.
00:51:15Just remember, no other woman will ever love you as much as Mommy does.
00:51:21Oh, my precious baby.
00:51:25Iris, placenta previa is serious.
00:51:29You need to rest and take it easy.
00:51:30We've got you covered around the clock.
00:51:33We'll do everything we can to keep you and your little ones safe.
00:51:41Mommy and Daddy are so excited to meet you.
00:51:44You are going to be the happiest baby in the entire planet, I promise.
00:51:53Tessa, Dorian, you're here.
00:52:00Look at this room.
00:52:03This isn't a hospital.
00:52:05She's treating labor like it's a spa retreat.
00:52:08Do you know that my friend's daughter-in-laws gave birth at local clinics,
00:52:14and it only cost three grand total.
00:52:18But your wife is spending two grand a night.
00:52:23I don't know, Mom.
00:52:24I think she's just trying to do what's best for the baby.
00:52:26Ugh.
00:52:27Oh, Dorian.
00:52:29Don't be stupid.
00:52:31This has nothing to do with the baby.
00:52:34She's flaunting.
00:52:35She just wants to tell her friends that she gave birth in some luxury suite.
00:52:40I warned you.
00:52:42She is not as sweet as she seems.
00:52:45If you keep letting her burn through your money like this,
00:52:49one day you're going to wake up with nothing left.
00:52:54Then what do I do?
00:52:56Don't worry, my sweet boy.
00:52:58I'm going to handle everything, okay?
00:53:02Okay.
00:53:03Let's go.
00:53:05Tessa, Dorian, what were you guys chatting about out there?
00:53:07Oh, actually, um, the doctor said the bill was due.
00:53:10Do you think you could take care of that?
00:53:11Oh, Iris, do you have any idea what all this costs?
00:53:17A room like this runs 50, 60 grand.
00:53:21Dorian busts his ass every day to support this family.
00:53:25Stop blowing through his savings and leave this hospital immediately.
00:53:31But leave the hospital.
00:53:37A good wife doesn't rack up mountains of debt before the baby's even born.
00:53:42Could you just think about Dorian for once?
00:53:45Tessa, I love him.
00:53:51I'm not wasting anyone's money.
00:53:53I chose this hospital because I had placentia previa.
00:53:56I could bleed out.
00:53:57And it's the only hospital that is equipped for that kind of emergency.
00:54:01I'm not here for comfort.
00:54:02I'm here to protect the baby and make sure that they're safe.
00:54:07Dorian, I know how hard you work.
00:54:11God, just let me stay one night and just to make sure the baby is stable.
00:54:17And then we can transfer, I promise.
00:54:19Son, don't fall for that.
00:54:21We don't even know if the baby's coming tonight.
00:54:24If she drags this out, it's going to be thousands more down the drain.
00:54:29Tessa, this is between my husband and I.
00:54:30Please just give us a moment.
00:54:33I'm his mother.
00:54:34Dorian's opinion is my opinion.
00:54:37Now, come on.
00:54:38We are leaving this hospital.
00:54:44Dorian.
00:54:49Dorian.
00:54:52Iris, let's just go to a local clinic.
00:54:56Raising a kid is expensive.
00:54:57We need to save where we can.
00:54:59That's right.
00:55:00We're not the bad guys here.
00:55:02Tons of women give birth at local hospitals.
00:55:05But you are a greedy little leech.
00:55:09And I'm not letting you bleed my son dry.
00:55:12What do you think he is?
00:55:14Your personal ATM?
00:55:15I'm not trying to waste anyone's money.
00:55:18I have a low-lying placenta.
00:55:20And if something goes wrong, the BB could die.
00:55:24Don't go soft on her.
00:55:26Let her play you.
00:55:27Every pregnant woman has complications.
00:55:30Just because it's risky doesn't mean it's going to happen.
00:55:33If you cave now, she will bleed you dry for the rest of your life.
00:55:38You're right, Mom.
00:55:40Thanks for always having my back.
00:55:42Mm-hmm.
00:55:43I'm here for you.
00:55:45Unlike certain people, I will never let someone make a fool of you.
00:55:52Iris, if you want to stay in this hospital, fine.
00:55:56But you're going to pay for it yourself.
00:55:57I'm not letting a greedy little wife like you waste one more cent of my son's money.
00:56:08Something's wrong with me.
00:56:09You called an entrepreneur.
00:56:11No.
00:56:12Do not take one more step until she agrees to pay for it herself.
00:56:27Dorian, what happened to you?
00:56:56Okay.
00:56:56I'm really not a lot about pay for it.
00:57:03Kai, could you settle the bill with us, please?
00:57:08See?
00:57:09She had the cash all along.
00:57:12Women like her always pretend that they're broke until it's time to spend your money.
00:57:18She doesn't feel the pressure now.
00:57:20She's never going to know what it takes to keep a family afloat.
00:57:24You're right, Mom.
00:57:25You always are.
00:57:25You really are the only person that's truly looking out for me.
00:57:29That's right.
00:57:30Very precious baby boy.
00:57:31I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:57:34Your card was declined.
00:57:36You're short about $20,000.
00:57:39If you can't pay, we have to discharge you.
00:57:42This is everything I have left.
00:57:48Is she really broke?
00:57:51It doesn't make any sense.

00:58:02Vitamins, supplements, to hospital visits.
00:58:04I mean, it all adds up, Dorian.
00:58:06What on earth has she been through these past three years?
00:58:10Dorian, can you just, please, just consider it alone.
00:58:15Just, I swear, I'll put you back.
00:58:18Absolutely not.
00:58:20Don't fall for this.
00:58:22Every wife stashes emergency cash.
00:58:26Did you see how she pulled that card out like it was nothing?
00:58:29Do you think it's her only one?
00:58:30She's still hiding money.

00:58:49You're trying to squeeze money out of Dorian.
00:58:52And then you're just gonna run away without paying a cent.
00:58:56How could you say that?
00:58:58Okay, okay, Dorian.
00:59:05I think something's going to happen with the baby.
00:59:07The baby's in trouble.
00:59:09You're not fooling anyone.
00:59:11If you're really so broke,
00:59:13why are you insisting on staying at such a luxury hospital?
00:59:17You've already drained him dry.
00:59:20What more do you want from him?
00:59:22Dorian, Dorian, please, I'm begging you.
00:59:25Please just say something.
00:59:26Hey, don't fall for her drama.
00:59:29You have two choices.

00:59:33or she can pay for everything herself.

00:59:42Okay.
00:59:44I'll listen to you, Mom.
00:59:47Okay.
00:59:48I'll listen to you, Mom.
00:59:50Dorian, I gave up my family to be with you.
00:59:52And when you started your business, I supported you.
00:59:56I gave you everything that I have.
01:00:00I mean, I paid for the mortgage and the car payments.

01:00:48This is 2025.
01:00:50There's apps for that.
01:00:51You want me to take out a highly predatory,
01:00:55a high-interest loan to give birth.
01:00:57Who's going to be your grandchild?

01:01:41Bastards!
01:01:42How dare you treat my precious daughter like this!
01:01:45Where's Dorian?
01:02:05My baby's coming any second now.
01:02:07What kind of husband disappears in a moment like this?
01:02:10He'll be here soon.
01:02:12He's going to get his mom.
01:02:13Seriously, thank you, Anita.
01:02:16For being here.

01:02:45It's the purest droopy

01:02:48Not bad.
01:02:49Dad.
01:03:01I'm about to have the baby.
01:03:05What?
01:03:07Virus!
01:03:09What?
01:03:10Are you really
01:03:12walking out on your family?
01:03:14Dad!
01:03:14You were wrong
01:03:16about Dorian, okay?
01:03:18He doesn't care
01:03:19about money.
01:03:20He loves me.
01:03:22And I choose
01:03:23him.
01:03:24If you
01:03:25walk through that gate,
01:03:27you are
01:03:28no longer
01:03:29my daughter.
01:03:30And you'll have
01:03:31nothing to do with
01:03:31the Esther name
01:03:32ever again.
01:03:33Again.
01:03:33Even if you
01:03:38never call me
01:03:39your daughter again,
01:03:41I'm still
01:03:41your dad.
01:03:44And I love
01:03:45your dad.
01:03:47I always will.
01:03:49But I choose
01:03:50him.
01:03:51Because our love
01:03:52is real, dad.
01:03:54And I'm
01:03:55going to prove
01:03:55it to you.
01:04:03Congratulations, sir.
01:04:12You're going to be
01:04:13your grandfather.
01:04:17Dorian
01:04:18still rubs me
01:04:19the wrong way.
01:04:20He barely
01:04:21looks like he
01:04:22could take care
01:04:22of a goldfish,
01:04:23let alone a family.
01:04:25Still,
01:04:26Irish chose him.
01:04:28And now
01:04:29they're about
01:04:29to have a baby.
01:04:31Maybe it's time
01:04:32I gave the guy
01:04:32a chance.
01:04:33get the finest
01:04:36gifts money can
01:04:36buy.
01:04:37I want my
01:04:38grandchild to
01:04:39enter the world
01:04:39like royalty.
01:04:43Guess I'll
01:04:44finally see if
01:04:45Dorian's truly
01:04:46worthy of Iris.
01:04:48If not,
01:04:50he'll have
01:04:51me to answer
01:04:52to.
01:05:03Mr. Holland,
01:05:10Mr. Holland,
01:05:11what's wrong?
01:05:12What happened?
01:05:13You sounded like
01:05:13you were having
01:05:13a heart attack.
01:05:15Hurry,
01:05:15I need to get
01:05:16the Baltimore
01:05:16Sierra from
01:05:17the vault.
01:05:18I need it
01:05:18delivered to
01:05:19Miss Astor
01:05:19ASAP.
01:05:20You're giving
01:05:21that away?
01:05:22I just got word
01:05:22that Miss Astor,
01:05:23the richest heiress
01:05:24on earth,
01:05:25is having a baby
01:05:25today.
01:05:26We must congratulate
01:05:27it was the most
01:05:27spectacular gift.
01:05:29If we pull this
01:05:29off, we could have
01:05:30a partnership with
01:05:31THE Astor
01:05:32Dominion.
01:05:33We're talking
01:05:34billions, Jessica!
01:05:35Billions!
01:05:36Now go!
01:05:37Run!
01:05:37Now!
01:05:38A private hospital?
01:05:56Doesn't it cost
01:05:57like two grand
01:05:58a night
01:05:58just to stay here?
01:05:59She's burning
01:06:00through your money
01:06:01like it grows
01:06:02on trees.
01:06:03Mom,
01:06:03please don't get
01:06:04worked up.
01:06:05The doctor said
01:06:05Iris has placenta
01:06:06previa.
01:06:07It's serious.
01:06:08There's a real
01:06:09risk of bleeding.
01:06:10Oh, Dorian.
01:06:12Your wife's
01:06:13just being dramatic.
01:06:15And who does
01:06:15she think she is?
01:06:16Some royal heiress
01:06:17or something?
01:06:18This is why
01:06:19we're bleeding money.
01:06:20If you let her
01:06:21stay in a fancy
01:06:22hospital like this
01:06:23today, tomorrow
01:06:25she's going to
01:06:26want to live
01:06:26in Nanny.
01:06:27And then what?
01:06:28A private chef?
01:06:30A butler?
01:06:31What do I do, Mom?
01:06:33You haven't paid
01:06:34the hospital bill yet,
01:06:35right?
01:06:35No, not yet.
01:06:37Good.
01:06:37When we get inside,
01:06:39stay quiet
01:06:40and follow my lead.
01:06:42Okay, Mom.
01:06:43Just remember,
01:06:44no other woman
01:06:45will ever love you
01:06:47as much as
01:06:47Mommy does.
01:06:49Oh,
01:06:49my precious baby.
01:06:53Iris,
01:06:54placenta
01:06:55previa
01:06:55is serious.
01:06:56You need to rest
01:06:57and take it easy.
01:06:58We've got you
01:06:59covered around the clock.
01:07:00We'll do everything
01:07:01we can to keep you
01:07:02and your little ones
01:07:03safe.
01:07:09Mommy and Daddy
01:07:10are so excited
01:07:11to meet you.
01:07:12You are going to be
01:07:13the happiest baby
01:07:14in the entire planet,
01:07:15I promise.
01:07:21Tessa,
01:07:22we're in your hair.
01:07:23Look at this room.
01:07:31This isn't a hospital.
01:07:33She's treating labor
01:07:34like it's a spa retreat.
01:07:36Do you know
01:07:37that my friend's
01:07:39daughter-in-laws
01:07:39gave birth
01:07:40at local clinics
01:07:41and it only cost
01:07:43three grand
01:07:44total,
01:07:46but your wife
01:07:47is spending
01:07:48two grand
01:07:49a night.
01:07:49I don't know,
01:07:51Mom,
01:07:51I think she's
01:07:52just trying to do
01:07:53what's best
01:07:53for the baby.
01:07:54Oh,
01:07:55oh, Dorian,
01:07:56don't be stupid.
01:07:59This has nothing
01:08:00to do with the baby.
01:08:02She's flaunting.
01:08:03She just wants
01:08:04to tell her friends
01:08:05that she gave birth
01:08:06in some luxury suite.
01:08:08I warned you,
01:08:09she is not
01:08:11as sweet
01:08:11as she seems.
01:08:13If you keep
01:08:14letting her burn
01:08:15through your money
01:08:16like this,
01:08:17one day you're
01:08:17going to wake up
01:08:18with nothing.
01:08:19left.
01:08:22Then what do I do?
01:08:24Don't worry,
01:08:25my sweet boy.
01:08:27You're going to
01:08:27handle everything,
01:08:28okay?
01:08:29Okay.
01:08:31Let's go.
01:08:33Tessa, Dorian,
01:08:34what were you guys
01:08:34talking about?
01:08:35Oh, actually,
01:08:36the doctor said
01:08:37the bill was due.
01:08:38Do you think
01:08:38you could take care
01:08:39of that?
01:08:41Iris,
01:08:42do you have
01:08:43any idea
01:08:44what all this costs?
01:08:45A room like this
01:08:46runs 50,
01:08:4760 grand.
01:08:48Dorian busts
01:08:50his ass
01:08:50every day
01:08:51to support
01:08:52this family.
01:08:53Stop blowing
01:08:54through his
01:08:55savings
01:08:56and leave
01:08:57this hospital
01:08:58immediately.
01:09:01What?
01:09:03What?
01:09:03Leave the hospital.
01:09:04a good wife
01:09:06doesn't rack up
01:09:07mountains of debt
01:09:08before the baby's
01:09:09even born.
01:09:10Could you just
01:09:11think about Dorian
01:09:12for once?
01:09:15Tessa,
01:09:16I love him.
01:09:19I'm not wasting
01:09:20anyone's money.
01:09:21I chose this hospital
01:09:22because I have
01:09:23placentia previa.
01:09:24I could bleed out.
01:09:25And it's the only hospital
01:09:26that is equipped
01:09:27for that kind
01:09:27of emergency.
01:09:28I'm not here
01:09:29for comfort.
01:09:31I'm here
01:09:32to protect
01:09:32the baby
01:09:32and make sure
01:09:33that they're safe.
01:09:35Dorian,
01:09:37I know
01:09:37how hard you work.
01:09:39God,
01:09:39just let me stay
01:09:41one night
01:09:42and just,
01:09:43just to make sure
01:09:43the baby is stable
01:09:44and then we can
01:09:45transfer,
01:09:45I promise.
01:09:46Son,
01:09:47don't fall for that.
01:09:49We don't even know
01:09:50if the baby's
01:09:51coming tonight.
01:09:52If she drags
01:09:53this out,
01:09:54it's gonna be
01:09:54thousands more
01:09:55down the drain.
01:09:56Tessa,
01:09:57this is between
01:09:57my husband and I.
01:09:59Please just
01:09:59give us a moment.
01:10:01I'm his mother.
01:10:02Dorian's opinion
01:10:03is my opinion.
01:10:04Now,
01:10:05come on.
01:10:05We are leaving
01:10:06this hospital.
01:10:08Ow!
01:10:11Dorian.
01:10:17Dorian!
01:10:20Iris,
01:10:21let's just go
01:10:22to a local clinic.
01:10:24Raising a kid
01:10:24is expensive.
01:10:25We need to save
01:10:26where we can.
01:10:27That's right.
01:10:28We're not the bad
01:10:29guys here.
01:10:30Tons of women
01:10:31give birth
01:10:31at local hospitals.
01:10:33But you
01:10:34are a greedy
01:10:35little leech
01:10:37and I'm not
01:10:37letting you
01:10:38bleed my son dry.
01:10:40What do you think
01:10:40he is?
01:10:41Your personal
01:10:42ATM?
01:10:43I'm not trying
01:10:44to waste anyone's money.
01:10:46I have a low-lying
01:10:47placenta
01:10:47and if something
01:10:49goes wrong,
01:10:50the BB
01:10:51could die.
01:10:52Don't go soft
01:10:53on her.
01:10:54Let her play you.
01:10:55every pregnant woman
01:10:56has complications.
01:10:58Just because it's risky
01:10:59doesn't mean
01:11:00it's gonna happen.
01:11:01If you cave now,
01:11:03she will bleed you dry
01:11:04for the rest
01:11:05of your life.
01:11:06You're right, Mom.
01:11:08Thanks for always
01:11:08having my back.
01:11:10Mm-hmm.
01:11:11I'm here for you.
01:11:13Unlike certain people,
01:11:15I will never let
01:11:17someone make
01:11:17a fool of you.
01:11:18Iris,
01:11:20if you want to stay
01:11:21in this hospital,
01:11:22fine.
01:11:23But you're gonna
01:11:24pay for it yourself.
01:11:26I'm not letting
01:11:27a greedy
01:11:28little wife like you
01:11:30waste one more cent
01:11:32of my son's money.
01:11:34Ah!
01:11:35Something's wrong with me.
01:11:37I think
01:11:37you can call
01:11:38an entrepreneur.
01:11:39No!
01:11:40Do not take
01:11:41one more step
01:11:42until she agrees
01:11:43to pay for it herself.
01:11:45I'll see Iris first.
01:12:13You wait here.
01:12:15Do not take
01:12:17one more step
01:12:18until she agrees
01:12:19to pay for it herself.
01:12:21Dorian,
01:12:22what happened to you?
01:12:24Okay.
01:12:25I'm all about
01:12:26paying for it.
01:12:31Hi.
01:12:32Could you settle
01:12:33the bill with us, please?
01:12:35See?
01:12:37She had the cash
01:12:38all along.
01:12:40Women like her
01:12:42always pretend
01:12:43that they're broke
01:12:43until it's time
01:12:45to spend your money.
01:12:46She doesn't feel
01:12:47the pressure now.
01:12:48She's never gonna know
01:12:49what it takes
01:12:50to keep a family afloat.
01:12:52You're right, Mom.
01:12:53You always are.
01:12:54You really are
01:12:54the only person
01:12:55that's truly looking out
01:12:56for me.
01:12:57That's right.
01:12:58Very precious baby boy.
01:13:00Ooh.
01:13:01I'm sorry, ma'am.
01:13:02Your card was declined.
01:13:04You're short
01:13:04about $20,000.
01:13:06If you can't pay,
01:13:07we have to discharge you.
01:13:09This is everything
01:13:15I have left.
01:13:17Is she really broke?
01:13:19Doesn't make any sense.
01:13:20With her three jobs,
01:13:21she should have saved
01:13:22at least $20,000.
01:13:24Yeah, well, that's because
01:13:25I cover all the household bills.
01:13:27And ever since I got pregnant,
01:13:28everything has been going
01:13:29to prenatal stuff,
01:13:30vitamins, supplements,
01:13:31to hospital visits.
01:13:32I mean, it all adds up, Dorian.
01:13:34What on earth
01:13:35has she been through
01:13:36these past three years?
01:13:39Dorian, can you just...
01:13:40Please, just consider it alone.
01:13:43Just...
01:13:44I swear, I'll pay you back.
01:13:46Absolutely not.
01:13:48Don't fall for this.
01:13:50Every wife stashes emergency cash.
01:13:53Did you see how she pulled
01:13:55that card out
01:13:55like it was nothing?
01:13:56Do you think it's her only one?
01:13:58She's still hiding money.
01:14:00I know she is.
01:14:03Dorian, please.
01:14:08Please, just help me
01:14:09pay the 20 grand.
01:14:10I swear, I'll pay you back.
01:14:13Don't fall for her act.
01:14:15I know what you're playing at.
01:14:17You're trying to squeeze
01:14:18money out of Dorian.
01:14:20And then you're just
01:14:21going to run away
01:14:22without paying a cent.
01:14:24How could you say that?
01:14:28Oh, okay.
01:14:31Okay, Dorian.
01:14:32Dorian, I think something's
01:14:33going to happen with the baby.
01:14:35The baby's in trouble.
01:14:36You're not fooling anyone.
01:14:39If you're really so broke,
01:14:41why are you insisting
01:14:42on staying at such
01:14:43a luxury hospital?
01:14:45You've already drained him dry.
01:14:48What more do you want from him?
01:14:50Dorian?
01:14:51Dorian, please.
01:14:52I'm begging you.
01:14:53Please just say something.
01:14:55Don't fall for her drama.
01:14:57You have two choices.
01:14:58Either we can transfer her
01:15:00to a cheaper hospital
01:15:01or she can pay
01:15:02for everything herself.
01:15:03And if she doesn't
01:15:05want to do either,
01:15:07then we don't want
01:15:08the baby anyway.
01:15:10Okay.
01:15:11I'll listen to you, Mom.
01:15:15Okay.
01:15:16I'll listen to you, Mom.
01:15:18Dorian, I gave up my family
01:15:19to be with you.
01:15:20And when you started
01:15:22your business,
01:15:23I supported you.
01:15:24I gave you everything
01:15:25that I have.
01:15:27I mean, I paid for the mortgage
01:15:29and the car payments.
01:15:30I have nothing left.
01:15:32Please save us
01:15:34the sob story.
01:15:35You ruined your own ties
01:15:37with your family.
01:15:38Don't blame Dorian for that.
01:15:40If you want to stay here,
01:15:42then fine.
01:15:43Pay for it yourself.
01:15:45But the Bates family
01:15:46is not paying
01:15:47a single cent.
01:15:49Oh, my God, Iris.
01:15:59Stop acting like the victim.
01:16:01Now it all makes sense.
01:16:02You stayed here to show off.
01:16:04When did you become so shallow?
01:16:07You become shallow.
01:16:09Well, aren't you?
01:16:10If you were really worried
01:16:12about the baby,
01:16:14why wouldn't you take out alone?
01:16:15This is 2025.
01:16:17There's apps for that.
01:16:19You want me
01:16:20to take out a highly predatory,
01:16:22high-interest loan
01:16:24to give birth.
01:16:25Who's going to be your grandchild?
01:16:27I mean, how could you
01:16:28be so heartless?
01:16:29Are you really
01:16:30guilt-tripping me right now?
01:16:33You're the one
01:16:34refusing to pay
01:16:34for your own baby.
01:16:37God, in my day,
01:16:38we didn't need
01:16:38luxury hospitals
01:16:39to give birth.
01:16:40We gave birth at home
01:16:42for free.
01:16:43I don't know
01:16:44what my son saw
01:16:45in a gold digger
