Transcript
00:00:00When a mysterious billionaire asks you to marry him for a year and give him an heir,
00:00:04what do you say? He offered me $10 million. I needed the money to pay for my little brother's
00:00:11heart surgery. I couldn't say no. So I moved into his mansion and slowly I got to know him.
00:00:19His likes, his dislikes, his smile, those lips. The man behind the six foot five perfect body,
00:00:26the heart he liked to pretend he didn't have. And eventually I started to realize I wanted this
00:00:34baby and the strange little family we'd become. I wanted him. But my year with Gideon Maslow was
00:00:41coming to an end. Was it possible he felt the same way?
00:00:56Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:25Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:01:32What does that mean?
00:01:38It means I only want to think about you.
00:01:46My little dog.
00:01:55So you're interested in becoming a surrogate?
00:02:14Well, I can't think of anything more fulfilling than bringing new life into this world.
00:02:18That's beautiful, sweetheart. Did you bring everything I asked for?
00:02:23Oh, yes. Medical records, blood work, it's all there.
00:02:29Everything seems to be in order. You're young, you're healthy. I can already think of several
00:02:35clients who would love you.
00:02:36Oh, that's great. It's a huge relief, honestly.
00:02:39Wait. Oh, but honey, wait. Your medical records are missing the details of your previous birth.
00:02:45Previous birth?
00:02:46To be a surrogate, you need to have given birth before. It was in the literature we sent over.
00:02:51No, please.
00:02:53Perhaps you can consider egg donation.
00:02:55That doesn't pay enough.
00:02:56Oh, sweetheart. Egg donation is still a beautiful way to help bring new life into the world.
00:03:02Let me get you a pamphlet.
00:03:34Hey, cutie.
00:03:35Hey.
00:03:37Oh, no. Don't get up.
00:03:38It's fine.
00:03:39How are you feeling?
00:03:41Well, I can't live like this much longer.
00:03:43Come on. Don't say that.
00:03:44I'm supposed to start college in three months.
00:03:46And instead, I'm here.
00:03:49Rotting. On a couch.
00:03:50You just have to take things easy until we...
00:03:52I know, I know.
00:03:53By the way, um, have you ever heard of someone named Gideon Maslow?
00:04:03Yeah, of course. He's the CEO of Maslow Enterprises.
00:04:07He's a billionaire.
00:04:09Why?
00:04:09I just saw the name somewhere.
00:04:17Who is this?
00:04:19Hi. Uh, this is Alice Gardner.
00:04:21The Parkside Surrogacy Agency referred me.
00:04:24Okay.
00:04:26I'm here to help you have a baby.
00:04:28They were supposed to send me a selection of women to choose from.
00:04:31Well, the agency is confident that I'm the best choice.
00:04:35Well, I can't speak about this now.
00:04:37My house tomorrow.
00:04:38I'll send a car.
00:04:39Sure. I'll text you my...
00:04:42Can I help you?
00:05:11Hi. Yes, I'm here to see Mr. Maslow.
00:05:14I have an appointment.
00:05:16Oh, you must be Miss Gardner.
00:05:18Sorry, I thought you were selling something.
00:05:21What would I be selling?
00:05:23I wasn't sure.
00:05:24Ill-fitting jackets.
00:05:31Alice.
00:05:32I see you met my house manager, Helga.
00:05:40Follow me.
00:05:41Son.
00:05:49What is it?
00:05:56It's a non-disclosure agreement.
00:05:59Guys usually offer to buy me a drink first.
00:06:01Anything that I say in this meeting will not be repeated, or else I will unleash a legal firestorm
00:06:10on your ass, the likes of which you couldn't even imagine.
00:06:14Your lawyers are going to need lawyers, and their lawyers are going to need lawyers...
00:06:18Okay, jeez.
00:06:20I get it.
00:06:22Could have just asked me to pinky promise.
00:06:25I take those very seriously.
00:06:27Alright.
00:06:29Let's get down to business.
00:06:30I need a surrogate of sorts.
00:06:35Of sorts?
00:06:37My proposition is a bit unconventional.
00:06:40I need to hire someone to marry me and give birth to my heir.
00:06:45I'm sorry, what?
00:06:52Oh.
00:06:53You're one of those billionaires.
00:06:56Freaky psychopath.
00:06:58Well, the marriage would be a temporary situation.
00:07:00After the birth of my son.
00:07:02Your son?
00:07:02Or whatever.
00:07:04After the birth of my heir.
00:07:06We'll divorce.
00:07:07He'll retain visitation rights.
00:07:09But the marriage has to appear real for at least one year.
00:07:13Why?
00:07:14If I want my heir to eventually take over the company,
00:07:17he has to maintain my family's pristine reputation.
00:07:21See, the community would never accept a bastard.
00:07:25I don't get it.
00:07:26You have money and a nice face and a great body, and you are tall.
00:07:31Like, how tall are you?
00:07:34Why can't you just find a real wife?
00:07:37I don't get out much.
00:07:39I enjoy the solitude.
00:07:41And enjoy paying people to have sex with you?
00:07:43Who said anything about sex?
00:07:45I know how husbands and wives make babies.
00:07:48No, we would take the medical approach.
00:07:51This is a business proposition, not a romantic one.
00:07:55These days, marriages, they're all financial relationships anyways.
00:07:59We would just be settling ours up front.
00:08:05I'm sorry.
00:08:06I can't do this.
00:08:07I agreed to have a child for you, not to have a child with you.
00:08:16Ten million dollars.
00:08:22Ten?
00:08:24Ten million dollars?
00:08:26Ten million dollars.
00:08:28Okay.
00:08:30Okay, I'll do it.
00:08:32Well, you can take your time and think.
00:08:34No, it's all right.
00:08:35Where do I sign?
00:08:36No, slow down, Alice.
00:08:38I still have to think about it.
00:08:39You're the first woman that I interviewed for the position.
00:08:42Well, look no further.
00:08:43You've found me, Mrs. Gideon Maslow.
00:08:48You really like to sound all that money, don't you?
00:08:51No, I don't like it.
00:08:53I need it.
00:08:54But my brother has a hole in his heart.
00:09:00He needs surgery, and the longer we wait, the less chance he has at making a full recovery.
00:09:05So why don't you ask your parents for the money?
00:09:08It's not an option.
00:09:11Look, I'll be the best fake wife you've ever had, okay?
00:09:15Please?
00:09:20Please?
00:09:20Please?
00:09:24All right.
00:09:26We'll call it highly motivated.
00:09:28I like that in a business partner.
00:09:31You're hired.
00:09:36I promise you, it's all quite standard.
00:09:39Yes, quite.
00:09:41It says here that I don't get the money until the baby is born.
00:09:44Yes, but I will front the cost of Nico's surgery, and all your day-to-day expenses will be taken care of.
00:09:52I have to live with you?
00:09:54I told you, the relationship has to appear real.
00:09:59Well, then Nico needs to live here, too.
00:10:01My brother can't be alone.
00:10:05All right.
00:10:06Now what?
00:10:13Why aren't you signing?
00:10:15I want you to meet him first.
00:10:16Well, send the car.
00:10:17No, no.
00:10:18I can't have him leave the house.
00:10:20Is he a kid, or is he a dog?
00:10:23He's sick, Gideon.
00:10:24All right.
00:10:25Well, I don't leave the estate.
00:10:26So if you want me to meet him, you'll bring him here.
00:10:31Alice has told me a lot about you.
00:10:33You're lucky.
00:10:34She just told me she was dating you.
00:10:36Well, everything that I do has a way of ending up in the press, so I asked her to keep our romance quiet, I hope.
00:10:44Well, I hope you can forgive me.
00:10:46Yeah, I think I can forgive anyone with a house this big.
00:10:49Don't get too excited, your heart.
00:10:58Karen, what are you doing here?
00:11:00Karen, can't drop in to surprise my big brother?
00:11:03No, it's not a good time.
00:11:06I have guests.
00:11:08How was I supposed to know you've never had a guest?
00:11:12That's not true, Alice.
00:11:14This is my very funny brother, Karen.
00:11:17It's good to meet you.
00:11:18Jenny.
00:11:19Hi.
00:11:21And you are?
00:11:24Oh, I'm his girlfriend.
00:11:26I'm your friends.
00:11:31Oh.
00:11:34So you two have been dating how long?
00:11:38I don't think it's been so long.
00:11:42I'm pretty sure I mentioned Alice to you.
00:11:46Pretty sure you did.
00:11:47No, I'm pretty sure I have.
00:11:49Um, hey, how about we take a walk outside, take a walk around the grounds?
00:11:54It's a beautiful day today.
00:11:59But you think that, like, maybe there would be enough money?
00:12:03I think everyone buys it.
00:12:05Maybe even two more.
00:12:06Do Karen and Jenny have kids?
00:12:08They've been trying for some years, but, I mean, it's a sensitive topic.
00:12:12It's hard to hear that.
00:12:13Somebody's got to carry on the Maslow name.
00:12:17I'll give him my best shot.
00:12:22Alice?
00:12:22No, I'm good.
00:12:24Nico?
00:12:25Uh, your brother!
00:12:27Nico, no!
00:12:37His pulse is steady.
00:12:40Nico, can you hear me?
00:12:41It's okay.
00:12:43Open your eyes.
00:12:44Breathe.
00:12:44Breathe.
00:12:52Oh, my God.
00:12:55I am so sorry.
00:12:58I, I, I, I, I, I think I just got a little overexcited.
00:13:01You got nothing to be sorry about.
00:13:03It's fine.
00:13:03I can keep walking.
00:13:04Absolutely not.
00:13:06We're going to the hospital.
00:13:08Hayden, you're going to be okay to drive?
00:13:09I told you he shouldn't have come here.
00:13:11Alice!
00:13:23It's good that he's getting some rest.
00:13:27What did the lab say?
00:13:29His condition is getting worse.
00:13:32We need to take a more aggressive approach with this treatment.
00:13:34He should stay in the hospital until he's strong enough for surgery.
00:13:40You want him to live here full time?
00:13:43Well, make sure that he's very comfortable.
00:13:46And you can visit him whenever you like.
00:13:47Have you been able to figure out a payment plan?
00:13:55I've brokered a deal with the devil.
00:13:58Just have to sign it.
00:13:59I thought I'd never see you again.
00:14:08Do you have a pen?
00:14:15Helga will be overseeing your transition into the house.
00:14:18Welcome to the Maslow Estate.
00:14:20It must be exciting.
00:14:23Our bedroom is over there.
00:14:26It's all very nice.
00:14:28I work long hours, so try to keep quiet.
00:14:32I'll be spending most days at the hospital with Nico anyways.
00:14:42Hey, what's in here?
00:14:44Hey.
00:14:45You can have your run of the house.
00:14:48But that room is completely off limits.
00:14:51You understand?
00:14:52I do.
00:15:07Helga, help Alice get situated.
00:15:09I have to make a phone call.
00:15:10Of course, Mr. Maslow.
00:15:13Thanks for all your help.
00:15:15Of course, anything for Gideon.
00:15:18You must do a really great job as house manager.
00:15:20I mean, he never wants to leave this place.
00:15:25Gideon is a very complicated and brilliant man.
00:15:30I'm sure he is.
00:15:31I've stood by him through great joy and great sorrow.
00:15:36That's nice.
00:15:39And sorrowful.
00:15:42Please feel free to call on me for anything that you need.
00:15:45I'll be nearby all the time, keeping an eye on you.
00:15:50I thought you'd be asleep.
00:16:07Restless, I guess.
00:16:08So, how was your first day at the house?
00:16:15I don't think Helga likes me very much.
00:16:19You know, she's been with me for years.
00:16:21She's very loyal.
00:16:23Yeah, she mentioned something about that.
00:16:27You know, I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:29You know, I think you need to get some sleep.
00:16:32Because stress is bad for baby making.
00:16:36Our appointment is tomorrow.
00:16:38Are you going to come with me?
00:16:40I sent my sample to the doctor already.
00:16:42So, he's just going to insert it into you.
00:16:46How romantic.
00:16:47I think.
00:16:54I think.
00:18:40Miss Cardinal.
00:18:43This room is off-limits to guests.
00:18:46I'm not a guest.
00:18:47You heard, Mr. Maslow.
00:18:54Oh, thank you.
00:19:20You know, I've become such a fast reader these last few weeks.
00:19:22See? Perks of taking it easy.
00:19:24Exactly.
00:19:25Who needs friends when you have your sister's old books?
00:19:28Ha.
00:19:29Bunny.
00:19:29Really, I'm super proud of how seriously you're taking this recovery.
00:19:37Yeah, anything to get me back to real life faster.
00:19:40I hate to break it to you, buddy, but this is a lot more like real life than whatever you're
00:19:45missing over summer break.
00:19:46How is this real life?
00:19:49Having your priorities straight, compromising on joy because it's what you have to do, it
00:19:55doesn't get more real life than that, babe.
00:19:59Looking good, isn't he?
00:20:00You've done great work.
00:20:02Well, I take tips.
00:20:05I'm a little strapped for cash at the moment, saving up for a big surgery.
00:20:09Speaking of, we were able to set a date.
00:20:15The nurse will go over everything with you, but we're looking pretty good.
00:20:18Nico's on the up and up.
00:20:19So Helga told me you went snooping.
00:20:40What a tattletale.
00:20:42I gave you access to every other room in the house.
00:20:44You couldn't respect my one wish?
00:20:46Have you ever heard the story of Bluebeard?
00:20:48Obviously not.
00:20:49Okay, well, it's a folktale about a woman who marries an older man named Bluebeard.
00:20:53She moves in with him, and he allows her access to every room in the house except for one.
00:20:58Sound familiar?
00:21:00So what?
00:21:01So, it turns out he had the corpses of six other wives stuffed in the room.
00:21:06You think I went through all this just to kill you?
00:21:09There's easier ways of doing that and much more fun ones.
00:21:13Well, when you tell me something is off limits, I'm going to assume the worst.
00:21:17You are so stubborn.
00:21:20You did not disclose that in the contract before we signed it.
00:21:24Well, you're a secretive.
00:21:25You didn't mention that.
00:21:27And I don't think you're really 6'5".
00:21:28Oh, I'm 6'5".
00:21:31Come on, Gideon.
00:21:33You can trust me.
00:21:35Who is she?
00:21:36The woman in the painting.
00:21:40She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:21:42Or any other woman for that matter.
00:21:44She's the one who's here.
00:21:47She's a friend, and she's the one who's left.
00:21:53There's a woman in the painting.
00:21:54She's the one who's left.
00:21:55She's the one who's left.
00:21:55She's the one who holds up in the painting.
00:21:56She's the one who has the other man.
00:21:57So we can't be able to see it.
00:22:00But, in fact, this is a woman.
00:22:03She's the one who lives in the painting.
00:22:05She's the one who lives in the studio.
00:22:06Well, if you're like, the man.
00:22:07Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:22:19Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:22:25What does that mean?
00:22:31It means I only want to think about you.
00:22:37My little dove.
00:22:58What the...
00:23:07Hey.
00:23:27Hello.
00:23:28Crazy how we live in the same house and I can still go days without seeing you.
00:23:32Big house.
00:23:34Gets lonely.
00:23:34Pancakes?
00:23:37Pancakes.
00:23:38Want some?
00:23:39No, I'm more of a waffle man.
00:23:41You know, there's more surface area for the syrup.
00:23:44Here.
00:23:45Try one.
00:23:46It's good.
00:23:47I promise.
00:23:53It's my secret recipe.
00:23:54It's good, right?
00:24:06It's good.
00:24:07It's really good.
00:24:09You're not going to have any?
00:24:10No, I had the craziest craving for them this morning, but now my stomach feels a little weird.
00:24:16Alice.
00:24:16You think?
00:24:24Do you have a test?
00:24:34What's it say?
00:24:38Negative.
00:24:39Damn.
00:24:41I really thought it would work.
00:24:42I'll get a better doctor.
00:24:44You know, maybe we need to do an egg retrieval first.
00:24:47Create an embryo.
00:24:49And plant it back into you.
00:24:50That could take months.
00:24:52But you signed the contract.
00:24:54You knew you were in this for the long haul.
00:24:56Oh, I know.
00:24:57I'm just bummed that it didn't work.
00:25:01Oh.
00:25:02Yeah.
00:25:03No.
00:25:04Uh, me too.
00:25:18You know, there are other ways I could get pregnant that involves less needles and plastic cups and hospital gowns.
00:25:27Oh, yeah?
00:25:29Birds do it.
00:25:30Bees do it.
00:25:31I mean, why can't we do it?
00:25:38No, Alice, I'm not paying you to have sex with me.
00:25:42I know, but you are paying me to have a child with you, and this could really increase our chances.
00:25:47No, Alice, sex, it complicates things.
00:25:50Of course it does, when feelings are involved.
00:25:53But we are two business partners with a goal, and sex could be the solution.
00:25:58Aren't you a little bit curious?
00:26:03Yeah, I'm curious.
00:26:05I know you don't trust women or whatever, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have any pleasure.
00:26:13And you must find me a little attractive.
00:26:16I mean, you want your heir to have half of my genes.
00:26:19Are you sure that's what you really want to do?
00:26:23I'm sure.
00:26:30There's just one thing you should know.
00:26:32Yeah?
00:26:33What is it?
00:26:35I'm a virgin.
00:26:36What?
00:26:41How?
00:26:43Our parents died when I was 17.
00:26:45I didn't have time to date if I wasn't working or I was with Nico.
00:26:49So you haven't been on one date?
00:26:52Men have asked me out, yeah.
00:26:54But they didn't understand why I couldn't leave my brother, and I didn't want to bring strangers back to our apartment.
00:26:59Look, this is the first time in my life where I haven't been worried about money.
00:27:06About how I'm going to pay rent, how I'm going to pay Nico's next medical bill.
00:27:11For once in my life, I can finally think about what I might want.
00:27:15What I might desire.
00:27:19So you were going to have my baby, and you've never had sex before.
00:27:23I know.
00:27:24I'm a saint.
00:27:25The Virgin Mary.
00:27:26What, does this void the deal?
00:27:35I should have told you.
00:27:37Yes, you should have told me.
00:27:42Where are you going?
00:27:46I, uh...
00:27:48I have to think.
00:27:56Hello, brother.
00:27:58It's unlike you to have me over on a work day.
00:28:01I have a problem.
00:28:04Alice.
00:28:05Oh.
00:28:06A mystery girlfriend.
00:28:08Yeah, she's a, uh, uh, a virgin.
00:28:15There's a twist.
00:28:19I'm very surprised.
00:28:20She's quite pretty.
00:28:24It's just a little more responsibility than I was prepared for.
00:28:28I know it's been a while since you've been with anyone, but I'm sure you remember how to do it.
00:28:34In fact, if I remember correctly, Ginny Mills was a virgin and he slept with her.
00:28:39So was I, and we were 16.
00:28:41Let's take it slow.
00:28:43Right?
00:28:44Come on.
00:28:45Let's wine a diner.
00:28:47Ah, Gideon.
00:28:49You're gonna have to behave like a gentleman.
00:28:57What will you do?
00:29:06Hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?
00:29:08No, I knew I shouldn't have told you.
00:29:11Just hold on a second.
00:29:12No, I should have known better.
00:29:14It's a mistake.
00:29:14Every time someone finds out, they look at me different.
00:29:16Like, like I'm something fragile.
00:29:18They're afraid of breaking.
00:29:19No, hey, please don't tell me what's going on in my own mind.
00:29:24Look me in the eyes and tell me you didn't change your opinion of me.
00:29:27No, truthfully, I don't know.
00:29:29I don't know how I feel about it.
00:29:31I mean, it was certainly surprising.
00:29:32Bullshit.
00:29:34Alice, just slow down, okay?
00:29:38Is that fair?
00:29:45Fair?
00:29:46How about I take you for a drink?
00:29:52I thought you don't leave the house.
00:29:58Secret bar.
00:30:00Very James Bond.
00:30:04Yeah, I don't think it's such a bad thing.
00:30:07Not you being a virgin and all.
00:30:09I think that it points to some level of discipline.
00:30:14Can we talk about something else?
00:30:17It's been a while since I've been on a date.
00:30:20I'm a bit rusty.
00:30:21So what do you do locked away here all the time?
00:30:26Dress up in costumes and fight crime?
00:30:30Well, it helps to have a full bar next to the living room.
00:30:32So you really never leave?
00:30:37Never.
00:30:38Not even on a drive?
00:30:41Not even on a drive.
00:30:44Wild.
00:30:45There are benefits, though.
00:30:48Like?
00:30:48I don't normally tell people this, but I make the greatest martini in the entire world.
00:30:59Oh, yeah?
00:31:02Prove it.
00:31:03Well, I'll give it to you.
00:31:21That is a damn good drink.
00:31:23Have you ever even had a martini?
00:31:26No.
00:31:27But I'm from Iowa, and we know drinking.
00:31:30Thank you, bartender.
00:31:35So what brings you to this bar so late at night?
00:31:41Well, you know, I was supposed to meet someone here.
00:31:45Is he a good-looking guy?
00:31:48Well, he certainly seems to think so.
00:31:51You been working here long?
00:31:54No, I took it over for my father.
00:31:58Yeah?
00:32:00I grew up in this house.
00:32:06God, I thought I told you that.
00:32:09No.
00:32:10But you don't really tell me anything.
00:32:14Well, when my parents died, I took over the estate.
00:32:19Are we sleeping in their bed?
00:32:22No, no.
00:32:23Absolutely not.
00:32:24Well, I mean, maybe the mattress pad.
00:32:26Oh, very sexy.
00:32:28Oh, I didn't know how I was supposed to be sexy.
00:32:31Well, it would certainly help pass the time.
00:32:34But I was like, Mr.
00:32:37Yeah.
00:32:37Okay.
00:32:39Okay.
00:32:40I don't know what a seeing.
00:32:50Well, I able to lean on my bed.
00:32:52Okay.
00:32:52Do you?
00:32:53Okay.
00:32:53I�.
00:32:54Okay.
00:32:54Okay.
00:32:54Indeed, let's say.
00:32:55Okay.
00:32:55I'll have an empty there.
00:32:56How about me?
00:32:57Well, I'm asking you to be nice.
00:32:57Okay.
00:32:57My mom, who's on the internet?
00:32:57I'm asking you to be ник okay.
00:32:57Aye.
00:32:57I'm expecting me to be nice on my mother.
00:32:59And every time I'll try to eat.
00:32:59Okay.
00:33:00I'll be doing that, but you중 to love it.
00:33:00At the beginning of my time.
00:33:01How was that?
00:33:19It didn't pass much time.
00:33:21Are you sure you want this?
00:33:50I'm sure you want this.
00:33:57There's no pressure to feel any kind of way, and if it hurts or anything.
00:34:00Yeah, thanks, baby.
00:34:06I'll follow your lead, all right? You take control. Does that sound okay?
00:34:11I want you to take control.
00:34:15Good morning.
00:34:22Good morning.
00:34:29Oh, hey. Good morning. You feeling okay?
00:34:37Yeah. That was good, right?
00:34:44Oh, yeah. It was really good.
00:34:49We could have another drink tonight?
00:34:55I actually forgot to tell you. We're gonna have dinner with Karen and Jenny tonight.
00:34:59Dinner? Okay, but why?
00:35:04Well, I mean, we have to seem like a big, happy family.
00:35:07Well, if we're getting divorced in a year, we don't have to appear that happy.
00:35:11Well, no. I mean, we can't have any cracks in our story.
00:35:13I love my brother, but he's got a loud mouth, and Jenny will say anything about everything.
00:35:19Well, then we better get our story straight.
00:35:22If we're gonna get grilled, we should be on the same page.
00:35:24Sure. We could practice.
00:35:27I mean, our brother isn't exactly Columbo, and Jenny and Helga are harmless.
00:35:32Helga's coming?
00:35:34Yeah, she said she wanted to get to know you.
00:35:37She has it out for me.
00:35:39It's one night. We can get through one night.
00:35:42Soup's almost ready. Just another few minutes.
00:35:50Thank you, Helga.
00:35:54It's nice to get some face time with you, Alice.
00:35:57I've been wanting to get to know you better.
00:35:59Well, you know what they say?
00:36:01You don't know someone until you see them eat.
00:36:03How do you eat, Alice?
00:36:08You want me to spoil the surprise?
00:36:11I'll tell you how I eat.
00:36:14Until I'm full.
00:36:17Can attest to that.
00:36:19So tell us, how did you and Gideon meet?
00:36:22And the questions begin before you even had our appetizers.
00:36:25It'll be another few minutes.
00:36:27What were you saying, Gideon, about how you two met?
00:36:30Well, dear, would you like me to, or would you like to?
00:36:34Well, I just love the way you tell it.
00:36:36All right.
00:36:37Well, it's a very funny story, actually.
00:36:40We met at a charity event a few years ago,
00:36:43and then we happened to come across each other online
00:36:46a few months ago.
00:36:49What's funny about that?
00:36:51The way life works, sometimes.
00:36:54Well, honey, you forgot the funniest part about how later that night you accidentally tripped me.
00:37:01Oh, and then she dropped her champagne glass.
00:37:03What event was it?
00:37:09Hmm?
00:37:12What charity event was it?
00:37:14The one for the opera.
00:37:20I remember this.
00:37:22I literally remember Gideon telling me that he tripped someone.
00:37:26Don't you remember, Kieran?
00:37:28I told you about this.
00:37:29You know, I just don't remember you in our circle.
00:37:34You don't seem like the type.
00:37:40Why?
00:37:41Am I not high class enough?
00:37:43I didn't mean that.
00:37:45No, it's okay.
00:37:46I get it.
00:37:47I would be worried too if I thought someone was trying to take advantage of my family.
00:37:51I know you have a lot to protect, and I don't come from a home like this.
00:37:57So you're right.
00:37:59I can't prove to you that I'm not some gold digger.
00:38:02All I can do is promise you that Gideon and I...
00:38:08We know the truth, and we trust each other.
00:38:19You really are a special girl.
00:38:21I had my doubts, of course.
00:38:24I couldn't be sure of your intentions, especially with the way you walked in that first day.
00:38:28Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
00:38:31You two moved in together so quick, I...
00:38:34I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.
00:38:37You can imagine my relief when I saw the negative pregnancy test.
00:38:43Pregnancy test?
00:38:47Were you going through my trash?
00:38:49Of course not, Alice.
00:38:50Be reasonable.
00:38:52I was cleaning up the mess you made in your bathroom and didn't know what I was looking at until it was too late.
00:38:57Are you trying to get pregnant?
00:38:58Of course not, Kieran, but accidents happen.
00:39:00We are trying.
00:39:05Gideon, you don't think it's a little rushed?
00:39:09Of course it's rushed.
00:39:10No.
00:39:11It's not.
00:39:12And how is that?
00:39:13Because...
00:39:14We...
00:39:19It's okay.
00:39:20You can tell if I'm Gideon.
00:39:21I asked him to keep it a surprise, but...
00:39:25We're getting married.
00:39:26What?
00:39:30When is this happening?
00:39:31Um...
00:39:33Next week.
00:39:34And you're sure this is something you want to do?
00:39:44I'm positive.
00:39:50Well, in that case...
00:39:53Welcome to the family, Alice!
00:39:57Soup's on!
00:40:01I'm sorry, I told everyone we're getting married.
00:40:03I panicked.
00:40:05They were gonna find out sooner or later.
00:40:06You know, now we need to...
00:40:08Pull together a quick wedding.
00:40:10Sounds easy enough.
00:40:12Oh.
00:40:13We gotta get Nico cleared for a couple hours from the hospital.
00:40:16Why?
00:40:18Don't you want your brother there?
00:40:20How would that help the plan?
00:40:24No, I mean...
00:40:25Don't you want your brother at the wedding?
00:40:28Now's not a good time.
00:40:29And besides, he'll be there when I get married for real one day.
00:40:34Oh.
00:40:36Yeah, no.
00:40:37That's fine.
00:40:38Um...
00:40:39I gotta get a...
00:40:40Get a...
00:40:41Prepared...
00:40:42Um...
00:40:43You gotta get a dress.
00:40:44I almost forgot.
00:40:45Need help?
00:40:46I think I got it.
00:40:47Please.
00:40:48Let me help.
00:40:49It's what I'm here for.
00:40:50Please.
00:40:51Let me help.
00:40:52It's what I'm here for.
00:40:53Are you nervous?
00:40:54You're burnt.
00:40:55I don't want it.
00:40:56I didn't want it.
00:40:57Okay.
00:40:58I almost forgot.
00:40:59Can you see I can leave?
00:41:00I don't like it.
00:41:01I guess.
00:41:02I'm fine.
00:41:03No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:41:04You've got to keep going.
00:41:06I'm fine.
00:41:07I'm fine.
00:41:08I'll never forget.
00:41:09I'm fine.
00:41:10I'm fine.
00:41:11No, no, no...
00:41:12I'm fine.
00:41:13I'll never forget.
00:41:14I'm fine.
00:41:15I'm fine.
00:41:17I'll never forget.
00:41:18My mom's fine.
00:41:19I'll never forget.
00:41:20I almost forgot.
00:41:21Are you nervous? Why would I be nervous? It's your wedding day. Right. I'm actually
00:41:30fine. Gideon's a great guy. I'm aware. I just mean there's nothing to be nervous
00:41:36about. I'm happy for you. Both of you. But especially you. What an amazing
00:41:44accomplishment. You should take your seat. The ceremony's starting soon and I want
00:41:50to make sure you have a great view. It's bad luck to see each other before the
00:42:09wedding. I know. I think I can afford it. Why's that? Hold on one second. I got a
00:42:18surprise for you. Congratulations. What are you doing here? It's your big day. We
00:42:31thought we'd surprise you. We? Me and Gideon. Hey. Hey. Hey. Think about how happy mom and
00:42:43dad would be to see us right now. Two orphans all grown up.
00:42:51Why did you get so old?
00:42:56We both got old way too young.
00:42:59I love that you're here. Okay. But nothing is worth risking your health. You're all I got.
00:43:06Do you know that? Not anymore.
00:43:14You're sure you're okay to sit through the whole ceremony? Oh yeah. Definitely good enough to have
00:43:18a few drinks later. Let's get you wifed.
00:43:20Do you, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband? Promising to love and cherish
00:43:29through joy and sorrow, through sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face
00:43:34as long as you both shall live? I do.
00:43:41And do you, Gideon, take Alice to be your lawfully wedded wife? Promising to love and cherish through
00:43:47joy and sorrow, sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face, as long as you both shall live?
00:43:53I do.
00:43:55Would you please exchange rings?
00:43:57By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.
00:44:20I do.
00:44:21I do.
00:44:22I do.
00:44:23I do.
00:44:24I do.
00:44:25I do.
00:44:26I do.
00:44:27I do.
00:44:28I do.
00:44:29I do.
00:44:30I do.
00:44:31I do.
00:44:32I do.
00:44:33I do.
00:44:34I do.
00:44:35I do.
00:44:36I do.
00:44:37I do.
00:44:38I do.
00:44:39I do.
00:44:40I do.
00:44:41I do.
00:44:42I do.
00:44:43I do.
00:44:44I do.
00:44:45I do.
00:44:46I do.
00:44:47I do.
00:44:48God, you were so beautiful.
00:44:56You have no idea how mad I am at you.
00:45:14You were incredible today.
00:45:18Have you ever even heard of a boundary?
00:45:22Well, I've closed nine-figure deals on seven continents.
00:45:25Of course I've heard of boundaries.
00:45:28I just... I don't know. I thought you'd be more appreciative.
00:45:33How? You totally ignored what I said.
00:45:36Because it wasn't what you wanted.
00:45:38What I want is for Nico to be healthy for his surgery.
00:45:41You jeopardized his health. Do you know how big of a violation that is?
00:45:45That is fine. Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:45:49He's gonna get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow.
00:45:51You're not his father.
00:45:52You're not his mother.
00:45:58Alice...
00:45:59No, I don't want to see you.
00:46:01I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want.
00:46:05Tell her we're fighting.
00:46:06No, Alice!
00:46:07Today's the day.
00:46:22First day of the rest of my life.
00:46:25Or the last. We'll see.
00:46:26God, I hate when you say stuff like that.
00:46:29I'm just joking. Relax.
00:46:32It'll be fine.
00:46:35So, where's your husband?
00:46:37You know, he doesn't leave the house much.
00:46:40Or at all, apparently.
00:46:42I was hoping he'd be with you.
00:46:45Well, don't worry about me.
00:46:47The doctor is gonna take you to the operating room soon.
00:46:50And I will be here the whole time.
00:46:52I know you will be.
00:46:53I know you will be.
00:47:19Gideon.
00:47:21You left the house.
00:47:24It was getting stuffy in there.
00:47:28What are you doing here?
00:47:30I just, I really want to be here with you.
00:47:51I'm a nervous wreck.
00:47:52He's gonna be fine.
00:47:54You want to know how I know?
00:47:56How?
00:47:58Because I think you promise.
00:48:03I take these so seriously.
00:48:20Alice?
00:48:23Yes?
00:48:24How is he?
00:48:30Nico's surgery was a huge success.
00:48:33They'll bring him in here in just a moment.
00:48:35Okay.
00:48:36So everything went well?
00:48:38Better than we could have hoped for.
00:48:40We'll keep him for two more days, and then he'll be free to go home.
00:48:44Two days? Is that enough time?
00:48:46I want him to have around the clock medical care.
00:48:49What if there are complications?
00:48:51We don't foresee any complications.
00:48:53Money's not gonna be a concern.
00:48:55Whatever it takes is fine.
00:48:56Money's not a concern for us either.
00:48:58The thing is, I don't think he needs to be here any longer.
00:49:02He'll make a speedy recovery.
00:49:03Make a speedy recovery.
00:49:33Gideon?
00:49:37Gideon?
00:49:54What are you doing?
00:50:04I want this to be Nico's room.
00:50:08You don't have to do that.
00:50:10It's a big house. There are plenty of rooms.
00:50:12No.
00:50:14I'm ready to move on.
00:50:16To start over.
00:50:19Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:50:20Krista.
00:50:30She was quite the artist.
00:50:32Very famous.
00:50:34I'm sure you've heard of her.
00:50:36I'm absolutely sure I haven't.
00:50:40What happened between you two?
00:50:42She lied.
00:50:44She knew I wanted an heir.
00:50:46She had me fall in love with her.
00:50:49All the while knowing that she didn't want to become a mother.
00:50:54Women have always lied.
00:50:56Even when I was a kid.
00:50:58They would lie.
00:51:00Just to come to see my house.
00:51:02And then as we grew up,
00:51:04it became more about the gifts and the vacations.
00:51:07My point is...
00:51:09I'm used to it.
00:51:12What made her different?
00:51:15She really had me fooled.
00:51:21You know I had to pay her off.
00:51:23Just to never see her again.
00:51:26I was so...
00:51:29Angry.
00:51:31I didn't want to see anyone.
00:51:33And that's when the rumors started.
00:51:35Recluse billionaire.
00:51:37Gideon Maslow.
00:51:39Must be hard to hear people say that about you.
00:51:41No, I didn't care what they said anymore.
00:51:44You know I had given up on love.
00:51:47But I had never given up on an heir.
00:51:49You know I'm not gonna hurt you like she did.
00:51:53You really can trust me.
00:51:58Can I tell you a secret?
00:51:59I think I believe you.
00:52:03I think I believe you.
00:52:04I think I'll be the best for you.
00:52:06I think I'm just talking to you.
00:52:08I love you.
00:52:10I love you.
00:52:12I love you.
00:52:14I love you.
00:52:16Bye.
00:52:18I love you.
00:52:20You never know I'm sorry for you.
00:52:22I love you.
00:52:24You never know.
00:52:26You never know.
00:54:29Really?
00:54:31I wondered why we never heard from you.
00:54:34And we're nearly ready to send you some options.
00:54:38No, I'm very pleased with the one that you referred.
00:54:43Mr. Maslow, we never referred anyone.
00:54:45Yeah, what do you mean?
00:54:49I'm working with Alice Gardner.
00:54:51Who's Alice Gardner?
00:54:53Is everything okay?
00:55:03I just got off the phone with, uh, Brenda.
00:55:07Parkside surrogacy.
00:55:08Gideon.
00:55:09I thought you said that I can trust you.
00:55:12God, I almost believed you.
00:55:13All the while, you've been lying to my face.
00:55:16Gideon, just let me explain.
00:55:17No, you are just like the rest of them.
00:55:20You know that you were...
00:55:22You're just like her.
00:55:23Okay, you're right.
00:55:24I'm no different than her.
00:55:25I lied to get close to you, and I was only in it for the money.
00:55:28But somewhere along the way, things changed.
00:55:31Okay, I fell in love with you.
00:55:34Gideon, I'm in love with you.
00:55:37That's what Krista said, too.
00:55:39I don't know what to say to make you believe me.
00:55:41Don't try, because it's not going to work.
00:55:44But I thought that having a contract would finally take the complications out of everything,
00:55:49letting me finally get an heir to my estate.
00:55:52God, you violated it from the start.
00:55:54You don't want an heir, Gideon.
00:55:57You want a child.
00:55:58You want to be a dad and to have a family.
00:56:00And deep down, you know that I don't want to leave when the money is paid.
00:56:04I want to stay, and I want to have a family with you.
00:56:07You're not scared that it's fake.
00:56:10You're scared that it might actually be real this time.
00:56:15I feel sorry for you, Gideon.
00:56:17You have everything in this world, and you're going to end up with nothing.
00:56:36Oh, I didn't know you were here.
00:56:43I was going to make the bed.
00:56:46Looks like you already did.
00:56:49Looks like I already did.
00:56:50I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:56:58I know you were really hoping she would be the one.
00:57:01But I guess she was just another one.
00:57:05It makes me question if I could be of assistance.
00:57:11Not unless you can give me an heir.
00:57:12That's actually exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:57:19The last thing I want to do is overstep.
00:57:22It would be my nightmare to learn that I've crossed some sort of boundary.
00:57:27But I think Alice has confused you.
00:57:30Somewhere along the way, she got in your head and made it all mushy-gushy.
00:57:34What happened to you, Gideon?
00:57:36Gideon, you want an heir?
00:57:38Then you need someone you can trust.
00:57:41Someone who you don't need to worry will start feeling feelings or thinking thoughts.
00:57:48Gideon, I've stood by you, unwaveringly, watching these women enter and exit your life.
00:57:57You really want an heir?
00:58:00The Gideon I know would put one inside me right now.
00:58:06No, she didn't confuse me.
00:58:25She colored me in.
00:58:29Shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:58:36It's never simple with you, is it?
00:58:46I guess not.
00:58:48But I won't be making that mistake again.
00:58:53Which mistake is that?
00:58:56Poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin?
00:59:00Falling in love.
00:59:09Okay.
00:59:11I am going to do something that is very unlike me and actually give a shit for a second.
00:59:20Gideon, aside from the doctor that delivered you, I have known you longer than anyone on this planet.
00:59:29And once I finally kill that doctor, it'll be just me.
00:59:33Through all the parties, all the success, and all the women, I've never seen you as happy as when you are with Alice.
00:59:41I know she lied to you.
00:59:46She lied to me from the very beginning, from the absolute onset.
00:59:49Everything was built on a lie.
00:59:52But if you're going to trust something, trust your heart.
00:59:59Do you really want to lose her?
01:00:00Is it really worth that?
01:00:12So it was never real?
01:00:14It wasn't.
01:00:16Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:18I didn't think you'd understand.
01:00:20You try to protect me way too much, Alice.
01:00:23That's my job.
01:00:24And you've done a good job.
01:00:26You fixed my broken heart.
01:00:28But now I can do all the things that we dreamed about when we were kids.
01:00:34I don't need a mom.
01:00:36I need a sister.
01:00:39I love you so much.
01:00:43Can I tell you something?
01:00:44Always.
01:00:46I really loved him too.
01:00:58I love you.
01:01:15I love you.
01:01:16Hi.
01:01:20Well, I'm going to go to my room.
01:01:22Be nice.
01:01:23I'm sorry for lying to you.
01:01:28No, I'm sorry for giving it all up and wanting to throw it all away.
01:01:34That's not what you do, you know, when you love someone.
01:01:39I love you, Alice.
01:01:44I love you, Gideon.
01:01:46I want to be with you and I want a family with you.
01:01:50That's what I want.
01:01:51I want you forever.
01:02:03What is that?
01:02:04I felt a bit weird this morning, so I thought I'd check.
01:02:12I want you.
01:02:34I want you to be with you.
