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

00:53:24is everything okay you know i just got off the phone with uh brenda parkside surrogacy
00:53:39gideon i thought you said that i can trust you god i almost believed you all the while you've
00:53:45been lying to my face gideon just let me explain you are just like the rest of them you know that you
00:53:52are you're just like her okay you're right i'm no different than her i lied to get close to you and
00:53:58i was only in it for the money but somewhere along the way things changed okay i fell in love with you
00:54:05gideon i'm in love with you that's what krista said too i don't know what to say to make you believe me
00:54:12don't try because it's not gonna work right i thought that having a contract would finally take
00:54:18the complications out of everything letting me finally get an heir to my estate god you violated
00:54:25it from the start you don't want an heir gideon you want a child you you want to be a dad and to have
00:54:31a family and deep down you know that i don't want to leave when the money is paid i want to stay and i
00:54:36want to have a family with you you're not scared that it's fake you're scared that it might actually be
00:54:43real this time you know i i feel sorry for you gideon you have everything in this world and you're gonna
00:54:52end up with nothing
00:55:10oh i didn't know you were here i was gonna make the bed
00:55:14looks like you already did looks like i already did
00:55:25i'm sorry gideon i know you were really hoping she would be the one but i guess she was just another
00:55:33one it makes me question if i could be of assistance not unless you can get me an heir
00:55:44that's actually exactly what i wanted to talk to you about the last thing i want to do is overstep
00:55:52it would be my nightmare to learn that i've crossed some sort of boundary
00:55:56but i think alice has confused you somewhere along the way she got in your head and made it all mushy
00:56:02gushy what happened to you gideon you want an heir then you need someone you can trust
00:56:09someone who you don't need to worry will start feeling feelings or thinking thoughts
00:56:18gideon i've stood by you unwaveringly watching these women enter and exit your life
00:56:25you really want an heir the gideon i know would put one inside me right now
00:56:41no she didn't confuse me
00:56:54she colored me in
00:56:55and shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up
00:57:01it's never simple with you is it
00:57:14i guess not but i won't be making that mistake again
00:57:20which mistake is that poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin
00:57:31falling in love
00:57:38okay
00:57:40i am going to do something that is very unlike me and
00:57:44uh actually give a shit for a second
00:57:51gideon aside from the doctor that delivered you i have known you longer than anyone on this planet
00:57:57and once i finally kill that doctor it'll be just me
00:58:01through all the parties all the success and all the women i've never seen you as happy as when you
00:58:08are with alice
00:58:13i know she lied to you she lied to me
00:58:15from the very beginning from the absolute onset everything was built on a lie
00:58:21but if you're gonna trust something
00:58:24trust your heart
00:58:28do you really want to lose her
00:58:31is it really worth that
