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 I only want to think about you.
00:00:48My little dove.
00:00:56Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:03Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:09Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:12Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:16I can't think of anything more fulfilling than bringing new life into this world.
00:01:21You're beautiful, sweetheart. Did you bring everything I asked for?
00:01:24Oh, yes. Medical records, blood work, it's all there.
00:01:30Everything seems to be in order. You're young, you're healthy. I 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 honey, wait. Your medical records are missing the details of your previous birth.
00:01:46Previous birth?
00:01:47To be a surrogate, you need to have given birth before. It 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, egg donation is still a beautiful way to help bring new life into the world.
00:02:02Let me get you a pamphlet.
00:02:32Hey, cutie.
00:02:35Hey.
00:02:36Oh, no, don't get up.
00:02:38It's fine.
00:02:39How are you feeling?
00:02:41Well, 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, and instead I'm here, rotting, on a couch.
00:02:51You just have to take things easy until we...
00:02:53I know, I know.
00:02:54By the way, um, have you heard of someone named Gideon Maslow?
00:03:04Yeah, of course.
00:03:05He's the CEO of Maslow Enterprises.
00:03:07He's a billionaire.
00:03:09Why?
00:03:10Just saw the name somewhere.
00:03:17Who is this?
00:03:19Hi, this is Alice Gardner.
00:03:21The Parkside Surrogacy Agency referred me.
00:03:24Okay.
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.
00:03:32The 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 car.
00:03:40Sure, I'll text you right now.
00:03:49Can I help you?
00:04:12Hi.
00:04:13Yes, I'm here to see Mr. Maslow.
00:04:15I have an appointment.
00:04:16Oh, you must be Miss Gardner.
00:04:18Sorry, I thought you were selling something.
00:04:21What would I be selling?
00:04:23I wasn't sure.
00:04:24Ill-fitting jackets.
00:04:31Alice, I see you met my house manager, Helga.
00:04:40Follow me.
00:04:48Sign.
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.
00:05:06Or else I will unleash a legal firestorm on your ass.
00:05:10The likes of which you couldn't even imagine.
00:05:13Your lawyers are gonna need lawyers.
00:05:15And their lawyers are gonna need lawyers.
00:05:17Okay.
00:05:18Geez.
00:05:19I get it.
00:05:22Could've just asked me to pinky promise.
00:05:24I take those very seriously.
00:05:27Alright.
00:05:28Let'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.
00:05:43And give birth to my heir.
00:05:47I'm sorry.
00:05:49What?
00:05:51Oh.
00:05:53You're one of those billionaires.
00:05:55Freaky 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?
00:06:13If I want my heir to eventually take over the company,
00:06:16he has to maintain my family's pristine reputation.
00:06:20See, 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.
00:06:29And 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?
00:06:45I 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.
00:07:04I'm sorry, I can't do this.
00:07:06I agreed to have a child for you, not to have a child with you.
00:07:10Ten million dollars.
00:07:12Ten?
00:07:14Ten million dollars?
00:07:16Ten million dollars?
00:07:18Ten million dollars.
00:07:20Okay.
00:07:22Okay, I'll do it.
00:07:24Well, you can take your time and think.
00:07:26No, it's all right.
00:07:27Where do I sign?
00:07:28Slow down, Alice.
00:07:30I still have to think about it.
00:07:31You're the first woman that I interviewed for the position.
00:07:33Well, look no further.
00:07:34You've found me, Mrs. Gideon Maslow.
00:07:38You really like the sound of all that money, don't you?
00:07:40No, I don't like it.
00:07:42I need it.
00:07:44My brother has a hole in his heart.
00:07:46He needs surgery, and the longer we wait, the less chance he has at making a full recovery.
00:07:49So, why don't you ask your parents for the money?
00:07:51It's not an option.
00:07:53Look, I'll be the best fake wife you've ever had, okay?
00:07:56Please?
00:07:58Please?
00:08:01Please?
00:08:03Please?
00:08:05No, no, no.
00:08:07I don't really have a problem.
00:08:08No, no, no, no.
00:08:10No.
00:08:11No, no, no.
00:08:12No, no, no.
00:08:13No, no, no.
00:08:14No, no, no, no.
00:08:15I don't.
00:08:17No, no, no.
00:08:18No, no, no, no.
00:08:19All right, we'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.
00:08:37It 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,
00:08:44and 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.
00:09:07Now what? Why aren't you signing?
00:09:10I want you to meet him first.
00:09:12I'll send a 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.
00:09:19Gideon?
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,
00:09:36so 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.
00:09:53Karen, what are you doing here?
00:09:55Can'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.
00:10:15And, uh, you are?
00:10:19Oh, 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 did.
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.
00:10:52But you think that, like, maybe there would be enough more?
00:10:57I think everyone buys it.
00:11:00Do Karen 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.
00:11:13Alice?
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.
00:11:38Breathe.
00:11:48Oh, my God.
00:11:49I am so sorry.
00:11:51I, I, I, I, I, I think I just got a little overexcited.
00:11:55You've got nothing to be sorry about.
00:11:56It's fine.
00:11:57I can keep walking.
00:11:58Absolutely not.
00:11:59We're going to the hospital.
00:12:01I mean, you're going to be okay to drive?
00:12:02I told you he shouldn't have come here.
00:12:07Alice!
00:12:07Alice!
00:12:07It'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 about this treatment.
00:12:29He 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?
00:12:48I'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.
00:13:13It 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.
00:13:31Hey, 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.
00:13:47Helga, 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.
00:14:09He 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 and great sorrow.
00:14:26That'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.
00:14:41I thought you'd be asleep.
00:14:59Restless, I guess.
00:15:02So how was your first day at the house?
00:15:07I don't think Helga likes me very much.
00:15:11You know, she's been with me for years.
00:15:13She'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.
00:15:41You know, I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:42I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:42I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:43I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:44I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:45I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:46I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:47I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:48I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:49I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:50I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:51I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:52I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:53I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:54I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:55I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:56I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:57I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:17:28Ms. Cardinal, 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.
00:18:15Exactly.
00:18:15Who needs friends when you have your sister's old books?
00:18:18Ha. Bunny.
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.
00:18:29I 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.
00:18:59Speaking 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.
00:19:24So Helga told me you went snooping.
00:19:29What a tattletale.
00:19:32I gave you access to every other room in the house.
00:19:34You couldn't respect my one wish?
00:19:36Have you ever heard the story of Bluebeard?
00:19:37Obviously not.
00:19:39Okay, well, it's a folk tale about a woman who marries an older man named Bluebeard.
00:19:43She moves in with him, and he allows her access to every room in the house except for one.
00:19:48Sound familiar?
00:19:49So what?
00:19:51So, it turns out he had the corpses of six other wives stuffed in the room.
00:19:55You think I went through all this just to kill you?
00:19:59There's easier ways of doing that, and much more fun ones.
00:20:03Well, when you tell me something is off limits, I'm gonna assume the worst.
00:20:07You 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.
00:20:29She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:32Or any other woman for that matter.
00:20:34She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:35She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:36She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:37She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:38She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:39She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:40She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:41She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:42She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:43She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:44She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:45She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:46She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:47She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:48She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:49She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:50She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:20:51Why 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.
00:21:45What the...
00:21:49Hey!
00:22:14Hello.
00:22:16Crazy how we live in the same house and I can still go days without seeing you.
00:22:20Big house.
00:22:22Gets lonely.
00:22:24Pancakes?
00:22:25Pancakes. Want some?
00:22:27No, I'm more of a waffle man.
00:22:29You know, there's more surface area for the syrup.
00:22:32Here, try one. It's good. I promise.
00:22:36It's my secret recipe.
00:22:53It's good, right?
00:22:54It's a good one. It's a really good one.
00:22:57You're not gonna have any?
00:22:58No, I had the craziest craving for them this morning, but now my stomach feels a little weird.
00:23:02Alice.
00:23:03Hmm.
00:23:04You think?
00:23:05Do you have a test?
00:23:08What's it say?
00:23:09Negative.
00:23:10Damn.
00:23:11I really thought it would work.
00:23:12I'll get a better doctor.
00:23:13Maybe we need to do an egg retrieval first, create an embryo, and plant it back into you.
00:23:22That could take months.
00:23:23But you signed the contract.
00:23:24You knew you were in this for the long haul.
00:23:25Oh, I know.
00:23:26I'm just bummed that it didn't work.
00:23:27Oh.
00:23:28Yeah.
00:23:29No.
00:23:30No.
00:23:31No.
00:23:32No.
00:23:33No.
00:23:34No.
00:23:35No.
00:23:36No.
00:23:37No.
00:23:38No.
00:23:39No.
00:23:40No.
00:23:41No.
00:23:42No.
00:23:43No.
00:23:44No.
00:23:45No.
00:23:46No.
00:23:47No.
00:23:48No.
00:23:49No.
00:23:50No.
00:23:51No.
00:23:53Oh, me too.
00:24:06You know, there are other ways I could get pregnant that involves less needles and plastic
00:24:13cups and hospital gowns.
00:24:15Oh, yeah?
00:24:16Birds do it.
00:24:19Bees do it.
00:24:20I mean, why can't we do it?
00:24:26No, 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,
00:24:32and 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,
00:24:43and sex could be the solution.
00:24:47Aren't you a little bit curious?
00:24:51I'm curious.
00:24:53I know you don't trust women or whatever,
00:24:56but 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,
00:25:44and 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.
00:25:54About how I'm going to pay rent,
00:25:56how 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.
00:26:18What?
00:26:18Does this void the deal?
00:26:23I should have told you.
00:26:24Yes.
00:26:25You should have told me.
00:26:30Where are you going?
00:26:31I, uh, I have to think.
00:26:43Hello, 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, a virgin.
00:27:01There's a twist.
00:27:06I'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,
00:27:19but I'm sure you remember how to do it.
00:27:21In fact, if I remember correctly,
00:27:23Jenny Mills was a virgin, and you slept with her.
00:27:26So was I, and we were 16.
00:27:28Let's take it slow.
00:27:30Right?
00:27:31Come on.
00:27:32It'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?
00:27:54No, 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.
00:28:18Alice, just slow down, okay?
00:28:23Is that fair?
00:28:29Fair?
00:28:30How about I take you for a drink?
00:28:37I thought you don't leave the house.
00:28:42Secret bar.
00:28:44Very James Bond.
00:28:48Yeah, I don't think it's such a, 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.
00:29:07So 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?
00:29:20Never.
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.
00:29:50Well, 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.
00:30:10But I'm from Iowa,
00:30:11and we know drinking.
00:30:15Thank you, bartender.
00:30:16So what brings you to this bar so late at night?
00:30:24Well, you know,
00:30:25I 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?
00:30:37No, I took it over from my father.
00:30:38Yeah?
00:30:41Yeah?
00:30:43You know?
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.
00:30:55Well, when my parents died,
00:30:58I took over the estate.
00:31:02Are we sleeping in their bed?
00:31:04No.
00:31:05No.
00:31:06Absolutely not.
00:31:07Well, I mean, maybe the mattress bed.
00:31:08Oh.
00:31:10Very sexy.
00:31:11Oh, I didn't know how it was supposed to be sexy.
00:31:14Well, it would certainly help pass the time.
00:31:16Well, it would certainly be nice to see you.
00:31:46How was that?
00:32:00It didn't pass much time.
00:32:16Are you sure you want this?
00:32:30I'm sure.
00:32:37There's no pressure to feel any kind of way, and if it hurts or anything...
00:32:40I'll follow you, Leigh, all right? You take control. Does that sound okay?
00:32:52I want you to take control.
00:33:10Good morning.
00:33:15Oh, hey. Good morning. You feeling okay?
00:33:20Yeah. That was good, right?
00:33:27Oh, yeah. It was really good.
00:33:32We could have another drink tonight.
00:33:35I actually forgot to tell you. We'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. I 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.
00:34:04I'm sure. We could practice.
00:34:06I mean, our brother isn't exactly Columbo, and Jenny and Helga are harmless.
00:34:14Helga's coming?
00:34:14Yeah. She says she wanted to get to know you.
00:34:18She has it out for me.
00:34:19It's one night. We can get through one night.
00:34:22Soup's almost ready. Just another few minutes.
00:34:29Thank 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? You don't know someone until you see them eat.
00:34:42Hmm. How do you eat, Alice?
00:34:50You 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 you even had our appetizers.
00:35:05It'll be another few minutes. What were you saying, Gideon, about how you two met?
00:35:10Well, dear, would you like me to, or what would you like to?
00:35:13Well, I just love the way you tell it.
00:35:15All right. Well, it's a very funny story, actually.
00:35:20We met at a charity event a few years ago, and then we happened to come across each other online
00:35:26a few months ago.
00:35:29What's funny about that?
00:35:30The 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?
00:35:58The one for the opera.
00:36:00I remember this.
00:36:02I, I literally remember Gideon telling me that he tripped someone.
00:36:06Don't you remember, Kieran? I told you about this.
00:36:09You 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. I 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. All I can do is promise you that Gideon and I,
00:36:44I, we know the truth, and we trust each other.
00:36:50You really are a special girl.
00:37:00I had my doubts, of course.
00:37:02I 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, I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.
00:37:16You can imagine my relief when I saw the negative pregnancy test.
00:37:22Pregnancy test?
00:37:25Were you going through my trash?
00:37:27Of course not, Alice. Be reasonable.
00:37:31I was cleaning up the mess you made in your bathroom and
00:37:33didn'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, Kieran, 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, it's not.
00:37:51And how is that?
00:37:52Because we...
00:37:57It'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?
00:38:08When is this happening?
00:38:12Next week.
00:38:16And you're sure this is something you want to do?
00:38:22I'm positive.
00:38:23Well, in that case, welcome to the family, Alice.
00:38:35Soup's on.
00:38:39I'm sorry.
00:38:39I told everyone we're getting married.
00:38:42I panicked.
00:38:43They were 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 gotta 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?
00:39:02No, I mean, don'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.
00:39:12Yeah, no, that's fine.
00:39:16Um, I gotta get prepared.
00:39:21You gotta get a dress.
00:39:22I almost forgot.
00:39:50Need help?
00:39:50I 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.
00:40:07I'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.
00:40:23You 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.
00:40:34It's bad luck to see each other before the wedding.
00:40:46I know.
00:40:48I think I can afford it.
00:40:50It's bad luck to see each other.
00:40:51Why's that?
00:40:53Hold on a second.
00:40:54I've got a surprise for you.
00:40:55It's good luck to see each other.
00:41:00All right.
00:41:01Congratulations.
00:41:04What 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, hey, hey.
00:41:18Think about how happy Mom and Dad would be to see us right now.
00:41:23Two orphans all grown up.
00:41:28Why did you get so old?
00:41:32We both got old way too young.
00:41:34I love that you're here.
00:41:37Okay, but nothing is worth risking your health.
00:41:41You're all I got, you know that?
00:41:45Not anymore.
00:41:50You're sure you're okay to sit through the whole ceremony?
00:41:52Oh yeah, definitely good enough to have a few drinks later.
00:41:55Let's get you wifed!
00:42:00You, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband.
00:42:03Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow, through sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face as long as you both shall live?
00:42:13I do.
00:42:14Would you?
00:42:17And do you, Gideon, take Alice to be your lawfully wedded wife, promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow, sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face as long as you both shall live?
00:42:29I do.
00:42:30I do.
00:42:31Would you please exchange rings?
00:42:32I do.
00:42:33Would you please exchange rings?
00:42:34By 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.
00:43:06God, you are so beautiful.
00:43:33You have no idea how mad I am at you.
00:43:36You are incredible today.
00:43:54Have you ever even heard of a boundary?
00:43:58I've closed nine figure deals on seven continents.
00:44:01Of course I've heard of boundaries.
00:44:03I just, I don't know, I thought you'd be more appreciative.
00:44:09How?
00:44:09You totally ignored what I said.
00:44:12Because it wasn't what you wanted.
00:44:14What I want is for Nico to be healthy for his surgery.
00:44:17You jeopardized his health.
00:44:19Do you know how big of a violation that is?
00:44:21It's fine.
00:44:22Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:44:25He's going to get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow.
00:44:27You're not his father.
00:44:28You're not his mother.
00:44:34Alice.
00:44:34No, I don't want to see you.
00:44:37I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want.
00:44:41Tell her we're fighting.
00:44:43No, Alice.
00:44:43Today's the day.
00:44:58First day of the rest of my life.
00:45:01Or the last.
00:45:02We'll see.
00:45:03God, I hate when you say stuff like that.
00:45:05I'm just joking.
00:45:06Relax.
00:45:08It'll be fine.
00:45:09So, where's your husband?
00:45:13You know, he doesn't leave the house much.
00:45:16Or at all, apparently.
00:45:18I was hoping he'd be with you.
00:45:22Well, don't worry about me.
00:45:24The doctor is going to take you to the operating room soon.
00:45:26And I will be here the whole time.
00:45:29I know you will be.
00:45:30I know you will be.
00:45:30I know you will be.
00:45:39Gideon.
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.
00:46:07I'm a nervous wreck.
00:46:28It's going to be fine.
00:46:30You want to know how I know?
00:46:32How?
00:46:34Because I think you promised.
00:46:37I take these so seriously.
00:46:55Alice?
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.
00:47:11So 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.
00:47:24What if there are complications?
00:47:25We don't foresee any complications.
00:47:27I mean, money's not going to be a concern.
00:47:29Whatever it takes is fine.
00:47:31Money's not a concern for us either.
00:47:32The 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.
00:47:38He'll make a speedy recovery.
00:47:38What?
00:47:48No, but I mean, it's going to be this incredible.
00:47:50It's just trying to do some numbers, right?
00:47:52What?
00:47:53So that's-
00:47:53Yes!
00:47:53That's what I'm saying.
00:48:11Gideon?
00:48:23What 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?
00:49:02Krista.
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.
00:49:22All 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.
00:49:41My point is, I'm used to it.
00:49:44What made her different?
00:49:49She really had me fooled.
00:49:55You know I had to pay her off just to never see her again?
00:49:57I 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.
00:50:13Must be hard to hear people say that about you.
00:50:15No, I didn't care what they said anymore.
00:50:18No, I had given up on love.
00:50:19But 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.
00:50:37I think I believe you.
00:51:07I think I believe you.
00:51:37I think I believe you.
00:52:52Hello?
00:52:54Hello, Mr. Maslow. This 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.
00:53:04So, we're nearly ready to send you some options.
00:53:10No, I'm very pleased with the one that you referred.
00:53:15Mr. Maslow, we never referred anyone.
00:53:20Wait, 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.
00:53:40Gideon.
00:53:40I thought you said that I can trust you.
00:53:43God, I almost believed you.
00:53:45All the while, you've been lying to my face.
00:53:47Gideon, just let me explain.
00:53:48No, you are just like the rest of them.
00:53:51You 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, but somewhere along the way, things changed.
00:54:02Okay, I fell in love with you.
00:54:05Gideon, 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 going to work.
00:54:15Right, I thought that having a contract would finally take the complications out of everything, letting 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.
00:54:28You 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.
00:54:39You're not scared that it's fake.
00:54:40You'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, and you're going to end up with nothing.
00:54:53Oh, I didn't know you were here.
00:55:13I was going to make the bed.
00:55:16Looks like you already did.
00:55:19Looks like I already did.
00:55:23I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:55:28I know you were really hoping she would be the one, but I guess she was just another one.
00:55:35It makes me question if I could be of assistance.
00:55:41Not unless you can get me an heir.
00:55:42That's actually exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:55:48The last thing I want to do is overstep.
00:55:52It would be my nightmare to learn that I'd crossed some sort of boundary.
00:55:56But I think Alice has confused you.
00:56:00Somewhere along the way, she got in your head and made it all mushy-gushy.
00:56:03What happened to you, Gideon?
00:56:06You want an heir?
00:56:08Then you need someone you can trust.
00:56:11Someone who you don't need to worry will start feeling feelings or thinking thoughts.
00:56:18Gideon, I've stood by you, unwaveringly, watching these women enter and exit your life.
00:56:25If you really want an heir, the Gideon I know would put one inside me right now.
00:56:33Yeah.
00:56:49No.
00:56:50She didn't confuse me.
00:56:54She colored me in.
00:56:57Shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:57:03It's never simple with you, is it?
00:57:14I guess not.
00:57:16But I won't be making that mistake again.
00:57:22Which mistake is that?
00:57:24Poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin?
00:57:31Falling in love.
00:57:33Okay.
00:57:40I am going to do something that is very unlike me and actually give a shit for a second.
00:57:51Gideon, aside from the doctor that delivered you, I have known you longer than anyone on this planet.
00:57:57And once I finally kill that doctor, it'll be just me.
00:58:01Through all the parties, all the success, and all the women, I've never seen you as happy as when you are with Alice.
00:58:09I know she lied to you.
00:58:14She lied to me from the very beginning, from the absolute onset.
00:58:18Everything was built on a lie.
00:58:21But if you're going to trust something,
00:58:24trust your heart.
00:58:27Do you really want to lose her?
00:58:29Is it really worth that?
00:58:37So it was never real?
00:58:40It wasn't.
00:58:43Why didn't you tell me?
00:58:45I didn't think you'd understand.
00:58:47You try to protect me way too much, Alice.
00:58:49That's my job.
00:58:50And you've done a good job.
00:58:52You fixed my broken heart.
00:58:56But now I can do all the things that we dreamed about when we were kids.
00:59:00I don't need a mom.
00:59:02I need a sister.
00:59:03I love you so much.
00:59:09Can I tell you something?
00:59:11Always.
00:59:13I really loved him too.
00:59:33Hey.
00:59:39Hi.
00:59:43Well, I'm going to go to my room.
00:59:45Be nice.
00:59:46Hi.
00:59:50I'm sorry for lying to you.
00:59:52No, I'm sorry for giving it all up and wanting to throw it all away.
00:59:58That's not what you do.
00:59:59You know when you love someone.
01:00:00I love you, Alice.
01:00:07I love you, Gideon.
01:00:09I want to be with you and I want a family with you.
01:00:13That's what I want.
01:00:14I want you forever.
01:00:26What is that?
01:00:30I felt a bit weird this morning, so I thought I'd check.
