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.
00:04:03Ill-fitting jackets.
00:04:04I'm here to see you.
00:04:05Um.
00:04:06Oh.
00:04:07Oh.
00:04:08Oh.
00:04:09Oh.
00:04:10Oh.
00:04:11Oh.
00:04:12Oh.
00:04:13Oh.
00:04:14Oh.
00:04:15Oh.
00:04:16Oh.
00:04:17Oh.
00:04:18Oh.
00:04:19Oh.
00:04:20Oh, oh.
00:04:21Oh.
00:04:22Oh.
00:04:23Oh.
00:04:24Oh, oh.
00:04:25Oh, oh.
00:04:26Oh, oh.
00:04:27Oh, oh.
00:04:28What?
00:04:29Oh, oh.
00:04:30Alice, I see you met my house manager, Helga.
00:04:40Follow me.
00:04:49Sign.
00:04:53What is it?
00:04:55It's a non-disclosure agreement.
00:04:58Guys usually offer to buy me a drink first.
00:05:02Anything that I say in this meeting will not be repeated.
00:05:07Or else I will unleash a legal firestorm on your ass, the likes of which you couldn't even imagine.
00:05:14Your lawyers are going to need lawyers, and their lawyers are going to need lawyers.
00:05:18Okay, jeez, I get it.
00:05:22Could have just asked me to pinky promise.
00:05:25I take those very seriously.
00:05:26All right, let's get down to business.
00:05:31I need a surrogate of sorts.
00:05:35Of sorts?
00:05:37My proposition is a bit unconventional.
00:05:40I need to hire someone to marry me and give birth to my heir.
00:05:45I'm sorry.
00:05:49What?
00:05:51Oh.
00:05:53You're one of those billionaires.
00:05:56Freaky psychopath.
00:05:57Well, the marriage would be a temporary situation.
00:05:59After the birth of my son.
00:06:01Your son?
00:06:02Or whatever.
00:06:03After the birth of my heir.
00:06:05We'll divorce.
00:06:06He'll retain visitation rights.
00:06:09But 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
00:06:19reputation.
00:06:21See, the community would never accept a bastard.
00:06:24I don't get it.
00:06:25You have money and a nice face and a great body, and you are tall.
00:06:30Like, how tall are you?
00:06:32Why can't you just find a real wife?
00:06:36I don't get out much.
00:06:38I 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.
00:06:50This is a business proposition, not a romantic one.
00:06:54These days, marriages, they're all financial relationships anyways.
00:06:59We would just be settling ours up front.
00:07:02Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:07:05I can't do this.
00:07:06I agreed to have a child for you, not to have a child with you.
00:07:15Ten million dollars.
00:07:20Ten?
00:07:21Ten milion dollars?
00:07:24Ten million dollars.
00:07:26Okay.
00:07:27Okay, I'll do it.
00:07:29Well, you can take your time and think.
00:07:31No, it's all right.
00:07:32Where do I sign?
00:07:33No, slow down, Alice.
00:07:35I still have to think about it.
00:07:37You're the first woman that I interviewed for the position.
00:07:39Well, look no further.
00:07:41You've found me, Mrs. Gideon Maslow.
00:07:46You really like to send all that money, don't you?
00:07:48No, I don't like it.
00:07:50I need it.
00:07:51My 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.
00:08:09Look, I'll be the best fake wife you've ever had, okay?
00:08:13Please?
00:08:13Please?
00:08:21All right.
00:08:22We'll call it highly motivated.
00:08:24I like that in a business partner.
00:08:27You're hired.
00:08:32I promise you, it's all quite standard.
00:08:35Yes, quite.
00:08:36It 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.
00:08:55Well, then Nico needs to live here, too.
00:08:57My brother can't be alone.
00:09:01All right.
00:09:06Now what?
00:09:08Why aren't you signing?
00:09:10I want you to meet him first.
00:09:12Well, send the car.
00:09:13No, no.
00:09:14I can't have him leave the house.
00:09:15Is he a kid or is he a dog?
00:09:18He's sick, Gideon.
00:09:20All right, well, I don't leave the estate.
00:09:22So 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,
00:09:35so 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.
00:09:53Karen, 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, Kieran.
00:10:12It's good to meet you.
00:10:14Jenny.
00:10:14Hi.
00:10:17And you are?
00:10:18Oh, I'm, uh, his girlfriend.
00:10:26Oh.
00:10:28So, 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 didn't.
00:10:41No, I'm pretty sure I have.
00:10:43Um, hey, how about we take a walk outside, take a walk around the grounds?
00:10:48It's a beautiful day today.
00:10:52Today.
00:10:53But you think that, like, maybe there would be enough money?
00:10:57I think everyone buys it.
00:10:59Maybe even two more.
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.
00:11:06Sorry to hear that.
00:11:07Somebody's got to carry on the Maslow name.
00:11:11I'll give him my best shot.
00:11:16Alice?
00:11:16No, I'm good.
00:11:17Nico?
00:11:20Your 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.
00:11:48Oh, my God.
00:11:49I am so sorry.
00:11:51I, 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.
00:12:01Hayden, you're going to be okay to drive?
00:12:02I told you he shouldn't have come here.
00:12:06Alice!
00:12:16It's good that he's getting some rest.
00:12:20What did the lab say?
00:12:21His condition is getting worse.
00:12:25We need to take a more aggressive approach with his 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?
00:12:36We'll 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.
00:13:10Welcome to the Maslow Estate.
00:13:13It must be exciting.
00:13:16Our 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.
00:13:28Hey, what's in here?
00:13:37Hey, you can have your run of the house.
00:13:40But that room is completely off limits.
00:13:44You understand?
00:13:46I do.
00:13:58Helga, help Alice get situated.
00:14:01I have to make a phone call.
00:14:02Of course, Mr. Maslow.
00:14:05Thanks 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.
00:14:17Gideon is a very complicated and brilliant man.
00:14:22I'm sure he is.
00:14:23I've stood by him through great joy.
00:14:26And great sorrow.
00:14:28That's nice.
00:14:31And sorrowful.
00:14:34Please, 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.
00:14:55I thought you'd be asleep.
00:14:58Restless, I guess.
00:15:02So, how was your first day at the house?
00:15:07I don't think Helga likes me very much.
00:15:10You 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.
00:15:25Our appointment is tomorrow.
00:15:29Are 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.
00:15:38She's style.
00:15:40And it's like...
00:15:40She's very realistic.
00:15:43She's very enthusiastic.
00:15:45She's very hippie.
00:15:51Iaban and once you're tired, I know this.
00:15:51I mean, try this right for you.
00:15:53What do we think?
00:15:57What do we think?
00:15:57Well, what do we think?
00:15:58What?
00:15:59We haven't heard of the love of soup.
00:16:00And when I'm estasuk, I'm going to share a lot of.."
00:16:01I don't know.
00:16:31I don't know.
00:17:01I don't know.
00:17:31Cardinal, this room is off limits to guests.
00:17:37I'm not a guest.
00:17:38You heard, Mr. Maslow.
00:17:45Oh, 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.
00:18:19Bunny.
00:18:20Really, 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.
00:18:36How is this real life?
00:18:39Having your priorities straight?
00:18:42Compromising on joy because it's what you have to do?
00:18:45It doesn't get more real life than that, babe.
00:18:49Looking good, isn't he?
00:18:50You'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.
00:19:32I gave you access to every other room in the house.
00:19:34You couldn't respect my one wish?
00:19:35Have you ever read the story of Bluebeard?
00:19:37Obviously not.
00:19:38Okay, 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...
00:20:20I'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, or any other woman for that matter.
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...
00:21:48What the...
00:21:49What the...
00:21:50What the...

00:32:05Are you sure you want this?
00:32:30I'm sure.
00:32:35There's no pressure to feel any kind of way, and if it hurts or anything, I'll follow you, Lee, all right?
00:32:48You take control.
00:32:49Does that sound okay?
00:32:49I want you to take control.
00:33:08Good morning.
00:33:13Oh, hey.
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.
00:33:48If 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 he's got a loud mouth, and 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.
00:34:08I 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.
00:34:34It'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.
00:34:55Until I'm full.
00:34:56I can 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?
00:35:13Well, 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, and then we happened to come across each other
00:35:25online a few months ago.
00:35:27What's funny about that?
00:35:31The way life works, sometimes.
00:35:35Well, honey, you forgot the funniest part about how later that night you accidentally tripped me.
00:35:40Oh, and then she dropped her champagne glass.
00:35:48What event was it?
00:35:52What charity event was it?
00:35:57The 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, if I thought someone was trying to take advantage of my family.
00:36:31I know you have a lot to protect, and 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, we know the truth, and we trust each other.
00:36:54You really are a special girl.
00:37:00I had my doubts, of course.
00:37:03I couldn't be sure of your intentions, especially 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, I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.
00:37:16You can imagine my relief when I saw the negative pregnancy test.
00:37:19Pregnancy test?
00:37:25Were you going through my trash?
00:37:27Of course not, Alice.
00:37:29Be reasonable.
00:37:31I was cleaning up the mess you made in your bathroom and didn't know what I was looking at until it was too late.
00:37:36Are you trying to get pregnant?
00:37:37Of course not, Karen, but accidents happen.
00:37:39We are trying.
00:37:40Gideon, you don't think it's a little rushed?
00:37:48Of course it's rushed.
00:37:49No, it's not.
00:37:51And how is that?
00:37:52Because we...
00:37:54It's okay, you can tell if I'm Gideon.
00:38:00I asked him to keep it a surprise, but we're getting married.
00:38:05What?
00:38:06When is this happening?
00:38:10Um...
00:38:11Next week.
00:38:15And 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.
00:38:32Soup's on!
00:38:39I'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.
00:38:50Oh, we got to get Nico cleared for a couple hours from the hospital.
00:38:54Why?
00:38:56Don't you want your brother there?
00:38:59How 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 gotta get prepared.
00:39:21You gotta get a dress.
00:39:22I almost forgot.
00:39:32Need help?
00:39:51I think I got it.
00:39:53Please, let me help.
00:39:54It's what I'm here for.
00:39:59Are you nervous?
00:40:00Why 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.
00:40:26And I want to make sure you have a great view.
00:40:28It's bad luck to see each other before the wedding.
00:40:48I know.
00:40:49I think I can afford it.
00:40:51Why's that?
00:40:53Hold on one second.
00:40:54I 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.
00:41:09We?
00:41:10Me and Gideon.
00:41:13Hey.
00:41:14Hey.
00:41:14Hey.
00:41:15Hey.
00:41:18Think about how happy mom and dad would be to see us right now.
00:41:21Two orphans all grown up.
00:41:28Why 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?
00:41:43Not anymore.
00:41:51You'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.
00:42:00You, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband.
00:42:04Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow.
00:42:07Sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face as long as you both shall live?
00:42:13I do.
00:42:17And do you, Gideon, take Alice to be your lawfully wedded wife.
00:42:21Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow.
00:42:24Sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face as long as you both shall live?
00:42:29I do.
00:42:30Would you please exchange rings?
00:42:51By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:42:56You may kiss the bride.
00:43:00You may kiss the bride.
00:43:30You 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?
00:43:56Come on, I'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.
00:44:09How?
00:44:09You totally ignored what I said.
00:44:12Because it wasn't what you wanted.
00:44:14What I want is for Nico to be healthy for his surgery.
00:44:17You jeopardized his health.
00:44:19Do you know how big of a violation that is?
00:44:21It's fine.
00:44:22Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:44:25He's going to get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow.
00:44:27You're not his father.
00:44:28You're not his mother.
00:44:34Alice.
00:44:34No, I don't want to see you.
00:44:37I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want.
00:44:42Tell her we're fighting.
00:44:43No, Alice.
00:44:56Today'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.
00:45:06Relax.
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.
00:45:30Okay.
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.
00:47:42Me will make a speedy recovery.
00:48:04What?
00:48:04Gideon?
00:48:12What are you doing?
00:48:34I want this to be Nico's room.
00:48:42You don't have to do that.
00:48:44It's a big house, there 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?
00:48:55Krista.
00:49:03She was quite the artist.
00:49:05Very famous.
00:49:07I'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.
00:49:27Women have always lied.
00:49:30Even when I was a kid, they 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.
00:49:40My point is, I'm used to it.
00:49:45What made her different?
00:49:49She really had me fooled.
00:49:54You know I had to pay her off, just to never see her again.
00:49:59I was so... angry.
00:50:04I didn't want to see anyone.
00:50:06And that's when the rumors started.
00:50:08Recluse billionaire.
00:50:09Gideon Maslow.
00:50:11Must be hard to hear people say that about you.
00:50:14No, I didn't care what they said anymore.
00:50:17You know I had given up on love.
00:50:20But I had never given up on an heir.
00:50:22You know I'm not gonna hurt you like she did.
00:50:26You really can trust me.
00:50:31Can I tell you a secret?
00:50:36I think I believe you.
00:50:56It's not true.
00:50:58No nothing.
00:51:02No.
00:51:03No.
00:51:04No.
00:51:05No.
00:51:06No.
00:51:07Yes.
00:51:08Oh.
00:51:09Yes.
00:51:10Yes.
00:51:13Yes.
00:51:14No.
00:51:15No.
00:51:16No.
00:51:17No.
00:51:19No.
00:51:20No.
00:51:21I don't know.
00:51:22No.
00:51:23No.
00:51:24No.
00:52:55This is Brenda from Parkside Surrogacy Agency, returning your call.
00:52:58Brenda? That's strange. I didn't call you.
00:53:02Really? I wondered why we never heard from you.
00:53:06We're nearly ready to send you some options.
00:53:10No, I'm... I'm very pleased with the one that you referred.
00:53:15Mr. Maslow, we never referred anyone.
00:53:17Wait, what do you mean? I'm working with Alice Gardner.
00:53:23Who's Alice Gardner?
00:53:24Is everything okay?
00:53:34I just got off the phone with, uh, Brenda. Parkside Surrogacy.
00:53:39Gideon.
00:53:40I thought you said that I can trust you. God, I almost believed you.
00:53:45All the while, you've been lying to my face.
00:53:47Gideon, just let me explain.
00:53:49You are just like the rest of them. You know that you are...
00:53:53You're just like her.
00:53:54Okay, you're right. I'm no different than her.
00:53:57I lied to get close to you, and I was only in it for the money.
00:53:59But somewhere along the way, things changed.
00:54:02Okay, I... I fell in love with you.
00:54:05Gideon, uh... I'm in love with you.
00:54:08That's what Krista said, too.
00:54:10I don't know what to say to make you believe me.
00:54:12Don't try, because it's not gonna work.
00:54:15Right, I thought that having a contract
00:54:17would finally take the complications out of everything,
00:54:20letting me finally get an heir to my estate.
00:54:23God, you violated it from the start!
00:54:26You don't want an heir, Gideon.
00:54:27You want a child. You want to be a dad and to have a family.
00:54:31And deep down, you know that I don't want to leave when the money is paid.
00:54:35I want to stay, and I want to have a family with you.
00:54:38You're not scared that it's fake.
00:54:41You're scared that it might actually be real this time.
00:54:46I feel sorry for you, Gideon.
00:54:48You have everything in this world,
00:54:51and you're gonna end up with nothing.
00:54:57Oh!
00:54:58I didn't know you were here.
00:55:13I was gonna make the bed.
00:55:16Looks like you already did.
00:55:18Hmm. Looks like I already did.
00:55:20i'm sorry gideon i know you were really hoping she would be the one but i guess
00:55:31she was just another one it makes me question if i could be of assistance
00:55:39not unless you can give me an air
00:55:44that's actually exactly what i wanted to talk to you about
00:55:47the last thing i want to do is overstep it would be my nightmare to learn that i've crossed some
00:55:54sort of boundary but i think alice has confused you somewhere along the way she got in your head
00:56:02and made it all mushy gushy what happened to you gideon you want an air then you need someone you
00:56:09can trust someone who you don't need to worry will start feeling feelings or thinking thoughts
00:56:16yes gideon i've stood by you unwaveringly watching these women enter and exit your life
00:56:25you really want an air the gideon i know would put one inside me right now
00:56:33no she didn't confuse me
00:56:52she colored me in shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up
00:57:01it's never simple with you is it
00:57:12i 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 a trying to impregnate a virgin
00:57:28you're falling in love
00:57:32okay
00:57:38i am going to do something that is very unlike me and uh
00:57:45actually give a shit for a second
00:57:48gideon
00:57:51aside from the doctor that delivered you
00:57:54i have known you longer than anyone on this planet
00:57:57and once i finally kill that doctor it'll be just me
00:58:00through all the parties all the success
00:58:04and all the women
00:58:05i've never seen you as happy as when you are with alice
00:58:09i know she lied to you
00:58:14she lied to me
00:58:15from the very beginning from the absolute onset
00:58:18everything was built on a lie
00:58:19but if you're gonna trust something
00:58:22trust your heart
00:58:25do you really want to lose her
00:58:29is it really worth that
00:58:33so it was never real
