00:00I'm looking for someone classy, confident, someone who can hold an intelligent conversation.
00:25I run an elite circle.
00:27She cannot embarrass me.
00:28But a girl like that is going to cost you.
00:34Money is not an issue for me.
00:36Just get me what I'm asking for.
00:39Okay, so let me get this straight, Mr. Brandt.
00:43You want this girl to masquerade as your wife at your fancy pants Ivy League parties, move into your mansion with you, and on top of all of that, bury your child.
00:53Am I right?
00:56That's right.
00:57This is purely an arrangement.
01:00No love, no sex, no strings attached.
01:04No sex.
01:06I don't want things to get messy.
01:08We're making a baby in a clinic, artificially.
01:12Hmm.
01:12It's going to cost you $500,000, Mr. Brandt.
01:16My girls are top-notch, Mr. Brandt, and you want her to carry your baby for nine months.
01:24I'm willing to bet you pay your lawyers a lot more than that.
01:30Fine.
01:31So who is she?
01:33I have someone perfect for you in mind.
01:35Just give me 48 hours.
01:36She'll be in touch with you, Mr. Brandt.
01:39I don't know if I can do this, Madam Celine.
01:59I didn't sign up to be a wife and have a baby.
02:04Don't be an idiot, Katie.
02:06I can buy a million virgins, okay?
02:10But baby is a little more complicated.
02:13A baby is a living, breathing human.
02:18I can't just be the surrogate to some billionaire.
02:22You know who else is a living, breathing human?
02:25Your sister.
02:29Oh.
02:30The one with stage three cancer.
02:45Maya, baby, you're burning up.
02:48We have to get you to a doctor.
02:50What's a doctor going to do, Katie?
02:53It's cancer.
02:54I'm going to get you into the new clinical trial, okay?
02:57We can't afford it.
02:58Since I dropped out, we have my scholarship money.
03:02And we can mortgage the house.
03:04Oh, great.
03:05So now I'm cancer-free, but now we're freaking homeless?
03:09Good.
03:10When did Mom and Dad adopt such an idiot?
03:19Adopted or not, I'm your older sister.
03:24How can you say that?
03:26After we both lost Mom and Dad?
03:29You're all I have left, Maya.
03:32I'm sorry, Katie.
03:34You got into Princeton, had to drop out to take care of me, and I'm just so tired of ruining
03:40your life.
03:41And without you, who would I have left to live for?
03:50Okay.
03:52I'll get you into that clinical trial, no matter what.
03:58Just don't give up, Maya.
03:59Five.
04:06Great.
04:09Great.
04:10You start tonight at 8 p.m.
04:13Show yourself in, and don't be late.
04:16Mr. Brandt doesn't like tardiness.
04:18Yes.
04:36Hello?
04:38Anyone home?
04:38Holy crap.
05:08He must be Evan Brandt.
05:10Oh, crap.
05:11This is a horrible first impression.
05:13I am so, so sorry.
05:19Here, let me...
05:24Don't worry about it. I wouldn't want you to get your dress dirty.
05:31That would be a shame.
05:33I can clean it for you.
05:34Don't worry about it.
05:36I have plenty more where these old, boring shirts came from.
05:40Matter of fact, go grab me one from the dresser.
05:50Oh, my gosh!
06:06Why would a man like this need a fake wife? Katie, what have you gotten yourself into?
06:14So before I call the police on you for trespassing, I want you to tell me who you are and what you're doing in my bedroom.
06:20And what you're doing in my bedroom.
06:22I'm Katie Marshall.
06:24Hello.
06:26Oh, my God.
06:31Right, um...
06:32Celine gave me the key to your house.
06:35I signed the contract.
06:38The contract to be my wife and the mother of my child.
06:41It's a big decision.
06:44You sure you're up for it?
06:48I am 100% up for it, Mr. Bran.
06:54I have my reasons.
06:59Excellent.
07:00Oh.
07:01Call me Evan.
07:04Or honey, if you want to make it extra believable.
07:10Come on.
07:11Welcome to Hotel Brandt.
07:25All expenses paid.
07:28Are you sure about all this?
07:31I can sleep on the couch.
07:32I really don't mind.
07:34Katie, are you serious?
07:36I wouldn't mind if you chose a different room for every day of the week.
07:38I have plenty of space.
07:41Get some rest.
07:45Good night, Mr. Bran.
07:47Sorry.
07:49Evan.
07:51We should establish some ground rules.
07:53Look, what or who you do after my contract is fulfilled, that's your business.
07:58But when you're legally married to a Bran, you need to watch out for the paparazzi and all that stuff.
08:04Paparazzi?
08:05Trust me, you really don't have to worry about any of that.
08:11I will respect your rules and our relationship.
08:22Treat yourself to whatever you want.
08:28Evan, you really don't have to do all this.
08:31I mean it.
08:34I'm your husband now.
08:36If you need anything, anything at all, you come to me.
08:42Hurry up, Katie! If you are late to work one more time, you're fired!
08:55I'll be right there.
08:56Okay.
09:08Where are you headed to this early in the morning?
09:10I probably shouldn't tell Evan I have a side gig.
09:14Not to mention it's kind of embarrassing.
09:16Nowhere. Just going to meet a friend.
09:21A friend that's a man?
09:24If you have a boyfriend, you can just tell me.
09:28It's nothing like that. I don't have a boyfriend.
09:33Katie, I should tell you this now, that I don't tolerate anyone lying to me.
09:37Lying to me.
09:39Lying?
09:41I'm not lying.
09:43We might have a contract, but you don't own me.
09:47I can still be free to go out, correct?
09:50Correct.
09:52Just remember my ground rules.
09:54I'm not breaking any rules here.
09:57In the contract, it says you only need me for certain events.
10:00So, if there are no such events, I'll be going.
10:11She's definitely hiding something.
10:16Hey, I got order number 42 for you.
10:18Oh, my freaking goodness. Is that Katie Marshall?
10:25No way.
10:27Damn, talk about peaking in high school.
10:29Went from first in your class to flipping burgers now?
10:33I'm so sending this to the senior group chat.
10:37Hey, you guys. It's been a while since high school.
10:42Wait a second.
10:44Didn't you get a full ride into Princeton?
10:46Don't be rude, Bryce.
10:49Everybody knows that she dropped out.
10:53What happened, Katie?
10:56Were the Ivy Weeks not as easy as you thought?
11:00Bummer.
11:02Samara.
11:04I had to take time off from Princeton to take care of my sister.
11:08She has cancer.
11:11Oh, my gosh.
11:13Cancer?
11:14Cancer?
11:16I had no idea that the both of you were such f-
11:23Mads, you didn't!
11:26Oh, my God!
11:28Mads!
11:30One kid's flipping burgers and the other one is busy dying.
11:34Poor parents.
11:35Well, look at the bright side.
11:37They're probably both happy that they're dead.
11:41You two sound like such a drag.
11:45What's the holdup?
11:47We're in the middle of our lunch rush, so enjoy your meal.
11:53That'll be $12.99.
11:59These burgers look kind of bland.
12:03It needs just a little splash.
12:06Madison, that's my uniform!
12:10What's the attitude, Katie?
12:12Actually, hold on.
12:13Katie, I got something to cheer you right up.
12:14For $5,000.
12:16You know, for an ugly dork back in high school.
