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.
00:00:55Why 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, honey, 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, egg donation is still a beautiful way to help bring new life into the world.
00:02:02Let me get you a pamphlet.
00:02:17Hey, cutie.
00:02:35Hey.
00:02:36Oh, no, don't get up.
00:02:38It's fine.
00:02:39How are you feeling?
00:02:41Well, 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.
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, have 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?
00:03:12Just saw the name somewhere.
00:03:15Who is this?
00:03:19Hi.
00:03:20Uh, 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 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 Mr. Maslow.
00:03:48I have an appointment.
00:03:49Oh, you must be Miss Gardner.
00:03:50Sorry.
00:03:51I thought you were selling something.
00:03:52What would I be doing?
00:03:53I'm here to see Mr. Maslow.
00:03:54I have an appointment.
00:03:55Oh, you must be Miss Gardner.
00:03:57Sorry.
00:03:58I thought you were selling something.
00:03:59What would I be selling?
00:04:00I wasn't sure.
00:04:01Ill-fitting jackets.
00:04:02Oops.
00:04:03I'm here.
00:04:12Tears.
00:04:13I'll text you my door.
00:04:14I'm here to see Mr. Maslow.
00:04:15I have an appointment.
00:04:16Oh, you must be Miss Gardner.
00:04:17Sorry, I thought you were selling something.
00:04:18What would I be selling?
00:04:19I wasn't sure?
00:04:20Ill-fitting jackets.
00:04:21Hmm?
00:04:22selling. I wasn't sure. Ill-fitting jackets. Alice, I see you met my house manager, Elga.
00:04:40Follow me.
00:04:41What is it?
00:04:55It's a non-disclosure agreement. Guys usually offer to buy me a drink first.
00:05:02Anything that I say in this meeting will not be repeated or else I will unleash a legal firestorm
00:05:09on your ass, the likes of which you couldn't even imagine. Your lawyers are going to need lawyers,
00:05:16and their lawyers are going to need lawyers. Okay, jeez, I get it.
00:05:22Could have just asked me to pinky promise. I take those very seriously.
00:05:27All right, let's get down to business. I need a surrogate of sorts.
00:05:34Of sorts?
00:05:37My proposition is a bit unconventional. I need to hire someone to marry me and give birth to my heir.
00:05:48I'm sorry, what?
00:05:51Oh, 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.
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.
00:06:23I don't get it. You have money, and a nice face, and a great body, and you are tall.
00:06:30Like, how tall are you? Why can't you just find a real wife?
00:06:36I don't get out much. I enjoy the solitude.
00:06:39And enjoy paying people to have sex with you?
00:06:42Who said anything about sex?
00:06:44Well, I 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.
00:06:54These 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.
00:07:1010 million dollars.
00:07:2010? 10 million dollars?
00:07:2410 million dollars.
00:07:26Okay. Okay, I'll do it.
00:07:28Well, you can take your time and think.
00:07:31No, it's all right. 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 interviewed for the position.
00:07:39Well, look no further. You've found me, Mrs. Gideon Maslow.
00:07:46You really like the sound of all that money, don't you?
00:07:48No, I don't like it. I need it.
00:07:55My 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.
00:08:12Okay? Please?
00:08:17Please?
00:08:21All right. We'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.
00:08:44And all your day-to-day expenses will be taken care of.
00:08:47I have to live with you?
00:08:48I told you, the relationship has to appear real.
00:08:55Well, then Nico needs to live here too. My brother can't be alone.
00:08:58All right.
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.
00:09:20All right. Well, I don't need the estate. So if you want me to meet him, you'll bring him here.
00:09:26Alice has told me a lot about you.
00:09:28You're lucky. She 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?
00:09:56Can't drop in to surprise my big brother?
00:09:58No, it's not a good time. I have guests.
00:10:03How was I supposed to know you've never had a guest?
00:10:07That's not true, Alice. This 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?
00:10:19Oh, 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.
00:10:40Pretty 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.
00:10:53But you think that, like, maybe there would be enough.
00:10:56I think everyone buys it.
00:11:00Do Karen and Jenny have kids?
00:11:01They'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 it my best shot.
00:11:12Alice?
00:11:14No, 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.
00:11:35Open your eyes, breathe, breathe.
00:11:38Oh, my God, I 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.
00:11:56I can keep walking.
00:11:57Absolutely not.
00:12:00We're going to the hospital.
00:12:01Aiden, are you going to be okay to drive?
00:12:02I told you he shouldn't have come here.
00:12:04Alice!
00:12:16It's good that he's getting some rest.
00:12:20What did the lab say?
00:12:22His condition is getting worse.
00:12:25We need to take a more aggressive approach about 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?
00:12:35Well, 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.
00:12:52I 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.
00:13:16Our bedroom is over there.
00:13:19It's all very nice.
00:13:20I work long hours, so try to keep quiet.
00:13:24I'll be spending most days at the hospital with Nico anyways.
00:13:35Hey, what's in here?
00:13:36Hey, you can have your run of the house,
00:13:40but that room is completely off limits.
00:13:44You understand?
00:13:44I do.
00:13:59Helga, help Alice get situated.
00:14:00I can make a phone call.
00:14:01Of 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.
00:14:21I'm sure he is.
00:14:22I'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.
00:14:39Keeping an eye on you.
00:14:40I thought you'd be asleep.
00:14:59Restless, I guess.
00:15:02So how was your first day at the house?
00:15:04I 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.
00:15:28Our appointment is tomorrow.
00:15:30Are you going to come with me?
00:15:31I sent my sample to the doctor already.
00:15:33So he's just going to insert her into you?
00:15:37How romantic.
00:16:03How romantic.
00:16:06So, get one.
00:16:12This craziness.
00:16:14This is great.
00:16:15This is my confidence.
00:16:18This is my argument.
00:16:18We will be with you.
00:16:18We will be with you.
00:16:19You meet with me.
00:16:20This is my promise.
00:16:20This is my advice.
00:16:20This is from myszew.
00:16:22I don't know.
00:16:52I don't know.
00:17:22I don't know.
00:17:30Miss Cardinal.
00:17:33This room is off limits to guests.
00:17:36I'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.
00:18:19Really, 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 a summer break.
00:18:37How is this real life?
00:18:38Having 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.
00:18:52Well, 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.
00:19:02The nurse will go over everything with you, but we're looking pretty good.
00:19:08Nico's on the up and up.
00:19:24So 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?
00:19:35Have 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.
00:19:42She 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?
00:19:50So, 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?
00:19:57Well, there'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.
00:20:09You did not disclose that in the contract before we signed it.
00:20:13Well, you're a secretive.
00:20:14You didn't mention that.
00:20:16And I don't think you're really 6'5".
00:20:18No, I'm-I'm 6'5".
00:20:20Come 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.
00:20:33The woman in the painting.
00:20:57Why 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?
00:21:20It means I only want to think about you.
00:21:27My little dove.
00:21:47What the?
00:21:57What the?
00:22:13Hey.

00:31:59It didn't pass much time.
00:32:08Are you sure you want this?
00:32:30There's no pressure if I could feel any kind of way, and if it hurts or anything.
00:32:46I'll follow you, Lee, all right?
00:32:47You take control.
00:32:48Does that sound okay?
00:32:52I want you to take control.
00:33:00Good morning.
00:33:14Oh, hey.
00:33:16Good morning.
00:33:17You feeling okay?
00:33:19Yeah.
00:33:21That was good, right?
00:33:26Oh, yeah.
00:33:28It was really good.
00:33:30We could have another drink tonight.
00:33:35I actually forgot to tell you.
00:33:36We're going to have dinner with Karen and Jenny tonight.
00:33:39Dinner?
00:33:42Okay, but why?
00:33:44I mean, we have to seem like a big, happy family.
00:33:47If we're getting divorced in a year, we don't have to appear that happy.
00:33:50Well, no.
00:33:51I mean, we can't have any cracks in our story.
00:33:53I 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.
00:34:04I'm sure.
00:34:05We could practice.
00:34:07I mean, our brother isn't exactly Columbo, and Jenny and Helga are harmless.
00:34:13Helga's coming?
00:34:14Yeah, she says she wanted to get to know you.
00:34:16She has it out for me.
00:34:19It's one night.
00:34:20We can get through one night.
00:34:26Soup's almost ready.
00:34:28Just another few minutes.
00:34:29Thank you, Helga.
00:34:33It's nice to get some face time with you, Alice.
00:34:36I've been wanting to get to know you better.
00:34:38Well, you know what they say?
00:34:40You 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.
00:34:55I can attest to that.
00:34:58So tell us, how did you and Gideon meet?
00:35:01And the questions begin before we even had our appetizers.
00:35:05It'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.
00:35:15All right.
00:35:16Well, it's a very funny story, actually.
00:35:20We met at a charity event a few years ago,
00:35:22and then we happened to come across each other online a few months ago.
00:35:28What's funny about that?
00:35:31The way life works, sometimes.
00:35:34Well, honey, you forgot the funniest part
00:35:37about how later that night you accidentally tripped me.
00:35:40Oh, and then she dropped her champagne glass.
00:35:47What event was it?
00:35:50Hmm?
00:35:51What charity event was it?
00:35:57The one for the opera.
00:35:59I remember this.
00:36:01I literally remember Gideon telling me that he tripped someone.
00:36:05Don't you remember, Kieran?
00:36:06I told you about this.
00:36:08You know, I just don't remember you in our circle.
00:36:14You don't seem like the type.
00:36:18Why?
00:36:20Am I not high-class enough?
00:36:22I didn't mean that.
00:36:23No, it's okay.
00:36:24I get it.
00:36:26I would be worried, too,
00:36:27if I thought someone was trying to take advantage of my family.
00:36:29I know you have a lot to protect and I don't come from a home like this.
00:36:36So you're right.
00:36:37I can't prove to you that I'm not some gold digger.
00:36:40All I can do is promise you that Gideon and I,
00:36:44we know the truth and we trust each other.
00:36:50You really are a special girl.
00:36:59I had my doubts, of course.
00:37:02I couldn't be sure of your intentions,
00:37:04especially with the way you walked in that first day.
00:37:07Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
00:37:08You two moved in together so quick, I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.
00:37:15You can imagine my relief when I saw the negative pregnancy test.
00:37:21Pregnancy test?
00:37:22Were you going through my trash?
00:37:27Of course not, Alice.
00:37:28Be reasonable.
00:37:30I was cleaning up the mess you made in your bathroom
00:37:32and didn't know what I was looking at until it was too late.
00:37:36Are you trying to get pregnant?
00:37:36Of course not, Kieran, but accidents happen.
00:37:38We are trying.
00:37:44Gideon, you don't think it's a little rushed?
00:37:47Of course it's rushed.
00:37:48No, it's not.
00:37:50And how is that?
00:37:51Because we...
00:37:54It's okay, you can tell if I'm Gideon.
00:37:59I asked him to keep it a surprise, but...
00:38:02We're getting married.
00:38:05What?
00:38:07When is this happening?
00:38:09Um, next week?
00:38:15And you're sure this is something you want to do?
00:38:21I'm positive.
00:38:27Well, in that case...
00:38:29Welcome to the family, Alice!
00:38:34Soup's on!
00:38:35I'm sorry, I told everyone we're getting married.
00:38:41I panicked.
00:38:42They were going to find out sooner or later.
00:38:44You know, now we need to pull together a quick wedding.
00:38:47Sounds easy enough.
00:38:49Oh, we got to get Nico cleared for a couple hours from the hospital.
00:38:53Why?
00:38:55Don't you want your brother there?
00:38:56How would that help the plan?
00:39:01No, I mean...
00:39:02Don't you want your brother at the wedding?
00:39:06Now's not a good time.
00:39:08And besides, he'll be there when I get married for real one day.
00:39:11Yeah, no, that's fine.
00:39:16Um, I gotta get prepared.
00:39:20You gotta get a dress.
00:39:30I almost forgot.
00:39:41Need help?
00:39:50I think I got it.
00:39:52Please, let me help.
00:39:54That's what I'm here for.
00:39:58Are you nervous?
00:40:00Why would I be nervous?
00:40:02It's your wedding day.
00:40:04Right.
00:40:06I'm actually fine.
00:40:08Gideon's a great guy.
00:40:09I'm aware.
00:40:10I just mean there's nothing to be nervous about.
00:40:14I'm happy for you.
00:40:16Both of you.
00:40:17But especially you.
00:40:19What an amazing accomplishment.
00:40:22You should take your seat.
00:40:24The ceremony's starting soon, and...
00:40:26I want to make sure you have a great view.
00:40:40It's bad luck to see each other before the wedding.
00:40:47I know.
00:40:48I think I can afford it.
00:40:50Why's that?
00:40:52Hold on one second.
00:40:53I've got a surprise for you.
00:40:54What are you doing here?
00:41:05It's your big day.
00:41:06We thought we'd surprise you.
00:41:08We?
00:41:09Me and Gideon.
00:41:12Hey.
00:41:13Hey.
00:41:13Hey.
00:41:18Think about how happy mom and dad would be to see us right now.
00:41:22Two orphans all grown up.
00:41:23Why did you get so old?
00:41:31We both got old way too young.
00:41:35I love that you're here.
00:41:37Okay?
00:41:37But nothing is worth risking your health.
00:41:41You're all I got.
00:41:42You know that?
00:41:42Not anymore.
00:41:50You're sure you're okay to sit through the whole ceremony?
00:41:52Oh, yeah.
00:41:53Definitely good enough to have a few drinks later.
00:41:55Let's get you wifed.
00:41:59You, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband.
00:42:03Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow,
00:42:07through sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face
00:42:10as long as you both shall live.
00:42:12I do.
00:42:16And do you, Gideon,
00:42:18take Alice to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:42:20Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow,
00:42:23sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face
00:42:26as long as you both shall live?
00:42:28I do.
00:42:30Would you please exchange rings?
00:42:32I do.
00:42:42By the power vested in me,
00:42:52I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:42:55You may kiss the bride.
00:42:56I do.
00:42:57I do.
00:42:57I do.
00:43:01I do.
00:43:05I do.
00:43:05God, you are so beautiful.
00:43:32You have no idea how mad I am, are you?
00:43:35You are incredible today.
00:43:53Have you ever even heard of a boundary?
00:43:57I've closed nine-figure deals on seven continents.
00:44:00Of course I've heard of boundaries.
00:44:02I just, I don't know, I thought you'd be more appreciative.
00:44:08How? You totally ignored what I said.
00:44:11Because it wasn't what you wanted.
00:44:13What I want is for Nico to be healthy for his surgery.
00:44:16You jeopardized his health. Do you know how big of a violation that is?
00:44:20He's fine. Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:44:24He's going to get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow.
00:44:26You're not his father.
00:44:27You're not his mother.
00:44:33Alice.
00:44:33No, I don't want to see you.
00:44:36I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want.
00:44:40Tell her we're fighting.
00:44:42No, Alice.
00:44:42Today's the day.
00:44:57First day of the rest of my life.
00:45:00Or the last, we'll see.
00:45:02God, I hate when you say stuff like that.
00:45:04I'm just joking. Relax.
00:45:07It'll be fine.
00:45:08So, where's your husband?
00:45:12You know, he doesn't leave the house much.
00:45:15Or at all, apparently.
00:45:17I was hoping he'd be with you.
00:45:21Well, don't worry about me.
00:45:23The doctor is going to take you to the operating room soon.
00:45:25And I will be here the whole time.
00:45:28I know you will be.
00:45:29I know you will be.
00:45:29I know you will be.
00:45:38Gideon.
00:45:56You left the house.
00:45:58It was getting stuffy in there.
00:46:02What are you doing here?
00:46:04I just, I really want to be here with you.
00:46:06I don't know.
00:46:08I'm a nervous wreck.
00:46:27He's going to be fine.
00:46:29You want to know how I know?
00:46:31How?
00:46:33Because I think you promised.
00:46:34I take these so seriously.
00:46:54Alice?
00:46:57Yes?
00:46:58How is Eve?
00:46:59Nico's surgery was a huge success.
00:47:07They'll bring him in here in just a moment.
00:47:08Okay.
00:47:10So everything went well?
00:47:11Better than we could have hoped for.
00:47:13We'll keep him for two more days, and then he'll be free to go home.
00:47:17Two days?
00:47:18Is that enough time?
00:47:20I want him to have around-the-clock medical care.
00:47:23What if there are complications?
00:47:24We don't foresee any complications.
00:47:26I mean, money's not going to be a concern.
00:47:28Whatever it takes is fine.
00:47:30Money's not a concern for us either.
00:47:32The thing is, I don't think he needs to be here any longer.
00:47:36He'll make a speedy recovery.
00:47:37He'll make a speedy recovery.
00:47:37No, but I mean, this is going to be as extreme as it happens, right?
00:47:51What?
00:47:52Yes, I'm saying.
00:47:53Gideon?
00:48:11Gideon?
00:48:11What are you doing?
00:48:28I want this to be Nico's room.
00:48:41You don't have to do that.
00:48:43It's a big house.
00:48:44There are plenty of rooms.
00:48:45No.
00:48:47I'm ready to move on.
00:48:49To start over.
00:48:52Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:49:01Krista.
00:49:02She was quite the artist.
00:49:05Very famous.
00:49:07I'm sure you've heard of her.
00:49:08I'm absolutely sure I haven't.
00:49:12What happened between you two?
00:49:14She lied.
00:49:16She knew I wanted an heir.
00:49:19She had me fall in love with her.
00:49:22All the while knowing that she didn't want to become a mother.
00:49:27Women have always lied.
00:49:28Even when I was a kid, they would lie just to come to see my house.
00:49:35And then as we grew up, it became more about the gifts and the vacations.
00:49:40My point is, I'm used to it.
00:49:44What made her different?
00:49:48She really had me fooled.
00:49:49You know, I had to pay her off just to never see her again.
00:49:58I was so angry.
00:50:04I didn't want to see anyone.
00:50:05And that's when the rumors started.
00:50:07Reclused billionaire.
00:50:09Gideon Maslow.
00:50:12Must 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 going to hurt you like she did.
00:50:26You really can trust me.
00:50:30Can I tell you a secret?
00:50:35I think I believe you.
00:50:36I believe you.
00:50:44I think I believe you.
00:51:14I think I believe you.
00:51:44I think I believe you.
00:52:44Hello?
00:52:53Hello, Mr. Maslow.
00:52:54This is Brenda from Parkside Surrogacy Agency, returning your call.
00:52:57Brenda?
00:52:58That's strange.
00:52:59I didn't call you.
00:53:01Really?
00:53:02I wondered why we never heard from you.
00:53:05We're nearly ready to send you some options.
00:53:09No, I'm very pleased with the one that you referred.
00:53:14Mr. Maslow, we never referred anyone.
00:53:19Wait, what do you mean?
00:53:20I'm working with Alice Gardner.
00:53:22Who's Alice Gardner?
00:53:23Is everything okay?
00:53:33I just got off the phone with, uh, Brenda.
00:53:37Parkside Surrogacy.
00:53:38Gideon.
00:53:39I thought you said that I can trust you.
00:53:42God, I almost believed you.
00:53:44All the while, you've been lying to my face.
00:53:46Gideon, just let me explain.
00:53:47No, you are just like the rest of them.
00:53:50You know that you are...
00:53:52You're just like her.
00:53:53Okay, you're right.
00:53:54I'm no different than her.
00:53:56I lied to get close to you, and I was only in it for the money, but somewhere along the
00:53:59way, things changed.
00:54:01Okay, I fell in love with you.
00:54:04Gideon, I'm in love with you.
00:54:07That's what Krista said, too.
00:54:09I don't know what to say to make you believe me.
00:54:11Don't try, because it's not going to work.
00:54:14Right, I thought that having a contract would finally take the complications out of everything,
00:54:19letting me finally get an heir to my estate.
00:54:22God, you violated it from the start.
00:54:25You don't want an heir, Gideon.
00:54:27You want a child.
00:54:28You want to be a dad and to have a family, and deep down, you know that I don't want
00:54:32to leave when the money is paid.
00:54:34I want to stay, and I want to have a family with you.
00:54:37You're not scared that it's fake.
00:54:40You're scared that it might actually be real this time.
00:54:45I feel sorry for you, Gideon.
00:54:47You have everything in this world, and you're going to end up with nothing.
00:55:07Oh, I didn't know you were here.
00:55:12I was going to make the bed.
00:55:15Looks like you already did.
00:55:18Looks like I already did.
00:55:19I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:55:26I know you were really hoping she would be the one, but I guess she was just another one.
00:55:34It makes me question if I could be of assistance.
00:55:38Not unless you can give me an heir.
00:55:43That's actually exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:55:47The last thing I want to do is overstep.
00:55:51It would be my nightmare to learn that I've crossed some sort of boundary.
00:55:54But I think Alice has confused you.
00:55:58Somewhere along the way, she got in your head and made it all mushy-gushy.
00:56:03What happened to you, Gideon?
00:56:04Gideon, you want an heir?
00:56:07Then you need someone you can trust.
00:56:09Someone who you don't need to worry will start feeling feelings or thinking thoughts.
00:56:17Gideon, I've stood by you, unwaveringly, watching these women enter and exit your life.
00:56:25You really want an heir?
00:56:28The Gideon I know would put one inside me right now.
00:56:34No, she didn't confuse me.
00:56:53She colored me in.
00:56:56Shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:57:04It's never simple with you, is it?
00:57:13I guess not.
00:57:15But I won't be making that mistake again.
00:57:20Which mistake is that?
00:57:23Poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin?
00:57:27Falling in love.
00:57:36Okay.
00:57:39I am going to do something that is very unlike me and actually give a shit for a second.
00:57:47Gideon, aside from the doctor that delivered you, I have known you longer than anyone on this planet.
00:57:56And once I finally kill that doctor, it'll be just me.
00:58:00Through all the parties, all the success, and all the women, I've never seen you as happy as when you are with Alice.
00:58:08I know she lied to you.
00:58:13She lied to me from the very beginning, from the absolute onset.
00:58:17Everything was built on a lie.
00:58:19But if you're going to trust something,
00:58:23trust your heart.
00:58:26Do you really want to lose her?
00:58:30Is it really worth that?
00:58:31So it was never real?
00:58:39It wasn't.
00:58:42Why didn't you tell me?
00:58:43I didn't think you'd understand.
00:58:45You try to protect me way too much, Alice.
00:58:48That's my job.
00:58:49And you've done a good job.
00:58:51You fixed my broken heart.
00:58:55But now I can do all the things that we dreamed about when we were kids.
00:58:59I don't need a mom.
00:59:00I need a sister.
00:59:04I love you so much.
00:59:08Can I tell you something?
00:59:10Always.
00:59:11I really loved him too.
00:59:13I love you.
00:59:30Well, I'm going to go to my room.
00:59:44Be nice.
00:59:45Hi.
00:59:45I'm sorry for lying to you.
00:59:50No, I'm sorry for giving it all up and wanting to throw it all away.
00:59:56That's not what you do, you know, when you love someone.
01:00:02I love you, Alice.
01:00:04I love you, Gideon.
01:00:08I want to be with you and I want a family with you.
01:00:12That's what I want.
01:00:13I want you forever.
01:00:13What is that?
01:00:30I felt a bit weird this morning, so I thought I'd check.
01:00:35I want to be with you.
01:00:51All right.
01:00:51Good.
01:00:52You
