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