Short filmTranscript
00:00:00When a mysterious billionaire asks you to marry him for a year and give him an heir,
00:00:05what do you say? He offered me $10 million. I needed the money to pay for my little brother's
00:00:11heart surgery. I couldn't say no. So I moved into his mansion and slowly I got to know him.
00:00:19His likes, his dislikes, his smile, those lips. The man behind the six foot five perfect body,
00:00:26the heart he liked to pretend he didn't have. And eventually I started to realize I wanted this
00:00:34baby and the strange little family we'd become. I wanted him. But my year with Gideon Maslow was
00:00:41coming to an end. Was it possible he felt the same way?
00:00:56Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:25Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:01:32What does that mean?
00:01:38It means I only want to think about you.
00:01:46My little dumb.
00:01:55So you're interested in becoming a surrogate?
00:02:14Well, I can't think of anything more fulfilling than bringing new life into this world.
00:02:19That's beautiful, sweetheart. Did you bring everything I asked for?
00:02:23Oh, yes. Medical records, blood work, it's all there.
00:02:29Everything seems to be in order. You're young, you're healthy. I can already think of several
00:02:35clients who would love you.
00:02:36Oh, that's great. It's a huge relief, honestly.
00:02:39Oh, but, honey, wait. Your medical records are missing the details of your previous birth.
00:02:45Previous birth?
00:02:47To be a surrogate, you need to have given birth before. It was in the literature we sent over.
00:02:52No, please.
00:02:53Perhaps you can consider egg donation.
00:02:55That doesn't pay enough.
00:02:57Oh, sweetheart, egg donation is still a beautiful way to help bring new life into the world.
00:03:02Let me get you a pamphlet.
00:03:03Let me get you.
00:03:33Hey, cutie.
00:03:35Hey.
00:03:37Oh, no, don't get up.
00:03:38It's fine.
00:03:39How are you feeling?
00:03:41Well, I can't live like this much longer.
00:03:43Come on, don't say that.
00:03:44I'm supposed to start college in three months.
00:03:47And instead, I'm here, rotting, on a couch.
00:03:51You just have to take things easy until we...
00:03:53I know, I know.
00:03:53By the way, um, have you ever heard of someone named Gideon Maslow?
00:04:03Yeah, of course.
00:04:05He's the CEO of Maslow Enterprises.
00:04:07He's a billionaire.
00:04:09Why?
00:04:09I just saw the name somewhere.
00:04:17Who is this?
00:04:19Hi, uh, this is Alice Gardner.
00:04:21The Parkside Surrogacy Agency referred me.
00:04:25Okay.
00:04:25I'm here to help you have a baby.
00:04:28They were supposed to send me a selection of women to choose from.
00:04:32Well, the agency is confident that I'm the best choice.
00:04:35Well, I can't speak about this now.
00:04:37My house tomorrow.
00:04:38I'll send a car.
00:04:39Sure, I'll text you right now.
00:04:42I'll text you right now.
00:05:09Can I help you?
00:05:12Hi, yes, I'm here to see Mr. Maslow.
00:05:15I have an appointment.
00:05:16Oh, you must be Miss Gardner.
00:05:18Sorry, I thought you were selling something.
00:05:21What would I be selling?
00:05:23I wasn't sure.
00:05:25Ill-fitting jackets.
00:05:31Alice, I see you met my house manager, Helga.
00:05:39Follow me.
00:05:49Sign.
00:05:54What is it?
00:05:56It's a non-disclosure agreement.
00:05:59Guys usually offer to buy me a drink first.
00:06:03Anything that I say in this meeting will not be repeated,
00:06:06or else I will unleash a legal firestorm on your ass,
00:06:11the likes of which you couldn't even imagine.
00:06:14Your lawyers are going to need lawyers,
00:06:16and their lawyers are going to need lawyers.
00:06:18Okay, jeez, I get it.
00:06:23Could have just asked me to pinky promise.
00:06:25I take those very seriously.
00:06:28All right.
00:06:28Let's get down to business.
00:06:31I need a surrogate of sorts.
00:06:36Of sorts?
00:06:37My proposition is a bit unconventional.
00:06:41I need to hire someone to marry me
00:06:43and give birth to my heir.
00:06:48I'm sorry.
00:06:50What?
00:06:50Oh, you're one of those billionaires.
00:06:56Freaky psychopath.
00:06:58Well, the marriage would be a temporary situation.
00:07:00After the birth of my son.
00:07:02Your son?
00:07:03Or whatever.
00:07:04After the birth of my heir.
00:07:06We'll divorce.
00:07:07You'll retain visitation rights.
00:07:10But the marriage has to appear real for at least one year.
00:07:13Why?
00:07:14If I want my heir to eventually take over the company,
00:07:17he has to maintain my family's pristine reputation.
00:07:22See, the community would never accept a bastard.
00:07:25I don't get it.
00:07:26You have money and a nice face and a great body,
00:07:30and you are tall.
00:07:31Like, how tall are you?
00:07:34Why can't you just find a real wife?
00:07:37I don't get out much.
00:07:39I enjoy the solitude.
00:07:41And enjoy paying people to have sex with you?
00:07:43Who said anything about sex?
00:07:45I know how husbands and wives make babies.
00:07:48No, we would take the medical approach.
00:07:51This is a business proposition, not a romantic one.
00:07:55These days, marriages, they're all financial relationships anyways.
00:08:00We would just be settling ours up front.
00:08:05I'm sorry.
00:08:06I can't do this.
00:08:07I agreed to have a child for you,
00:08:10not to have a child with you.
00:08:1210 million dollars.
00:08:2210?
00:08:2410 million dollars?
00:08:2710 million dollars.
00:08:29Okay.
00:08:30Okay, I'll do it.
00:08:32Well, you can take your time and think.
00:08:34No, it's all right.
00:08:35Where do I sign?
00:08:36No, slow down, Alice.
00:08:38I still have to think about it.
00:08:40You're the first woman that I interviewed for the position.
00:08:42Well, look no further.
00:08:43You've found me, Mrs. Gideon Maslow.
00:08:48You really like to send all that money, don't you?
00:08:51No, I don't like it.
00:08:53I need it.
00:08:54My brother has a hole in his heart.
00:09:00He needs surgery, and the longer we wait,
00:09:02the less chance he has at making a full recovery.
00:09:05So why don't you ask your parents for the money?
00:09:08It's not an option.
00:09:11Look, I'll be the best fake wife you've ever had, okay?
00:09:16Please?
00:09:16Please?
00:09:22Please?
00:09:24All right.
00:09:26We'll call it highly motivated.
00:09:28I like that in a business partner.
00:09:31You're hired.
00:09:37I promise you, it's all quite standard.
00:09:39Hmm, yes, quite.
00:09:42It says here that I don't get the money until the baby is born.
00:09:45Yes, but I will front the cost of Nico's surgery,
00:09:49and all your day-to-day expenses will be taken care of.
00:09:52I have to live with you?
00:09:53I told you, the relationship has to appear real.
00:09:59Well, then Nico needs to live here, too.
00:10:01My brother can't be alone.
00:10:05All right.
00:10:12Now what?
00:10:13Why aren't you signing?
00:10:15I want you to meet him first.
00:10:16I'll send a car.
00:10:18No, no, I can't have him leave the house.
00:10:19Is he a kid or is he a dog?
00:10:23He's sick, Gideon.
00:10:25All right, well, I don't leave the estate.
00:10:26So if you want me to meet him, you'll bring him here.
00:10:31Alice has told me a lot about you.
00:10:33You're lucky.
00:10:34She just told me she was dating you.
00:10:37Well, everything that I do has a way of ending up in the press,
00:10:40so I asked her to keep our romance quiet, I hope.
00:10:44Well, I hope you can forgive me.
00:10:46Yeah, I think I can forgive anyone with a house this big.
00:10:49Don't get too excited, your heart.
00:10:51Karen, what are you doing here?
00:11:01Can't drop in to surprise my big brother?
00:11:04No, it's not a good time.
00:11:06I have guests.
00:11:08How was I supposed to know you've never had a guest?
00:11:12That's not true, Alice.
00:11:14This is my very funny brother, Karen.
00:11:17It's good to meet you.
00:11:18Jenny.
00:11:19Hi.
00:11:19Hi.
00:11:21And, uh, you are?
00:11:24Oh, I'm, uh, his girlfriend.
00:11:31Oh.
00:11:34So you two have been dating how long?
00:11:38I don't think it's been so long.
00:11:42I'm pretty sure I mentioned Alice to you.
00:11:46Pretty sure you did.
00:11:47No, I'm pretty sure I have.
00:11:49Um, hey, how about we take a walk outside, take a walk around the grounds?
00:11:54It's a beautiful day today.
00:11:58Dang.
00:11:59But you think that, like, maybe there would be enough more?
00:12:03I think everyone buys it.
00:12:05Maybe even two more.
00:12:06Do Carrie and Jenny have kids?
00:12:08They've been trying for some years, but, I mean, it's a sensitive topic.
00:12:12It's hard to hear that.
00:12:13Somebody's got to carry on the Maslow name.
00:12:17I'll give him my best shot.
00:12:22Alice?
00:12:22No, I'm good.
00:12:24Nico?
00:12:24Uh, your brother!
00:12:28Nico, no!
00:12:28His pulse is steady.
00:12:40Nico, can you hear me?
00:12:42It's okay.
00:12:43Open your eyes.
00:12:44Breathe.
00:12:44Breathe.
00:12:45Breathe.
00:12:52Oh, my God.
00:12:56I am so sorry.
00:12:56I, I, I, I, I, I think I just got a little overexcited.
00:13:01You've got nothing to be sorry about.
00:13:03It's fine.
00:13:03I can keep walking.
00:13:04Absolutely not.
00:13:06We're going to the hospital.
00:13:08Aiden, you're going to be okay to drive?
00:13:09I told you he shouldn't have come here.
00:13:13Alice!
00:13:23It's good that he's getting some rest.
00:13:26What did the lab say?
00:13:29His condition is getting worse.
00:13:32We need to take a more aggressive approach with this treatment.
00:13:35He should stay in the hospital until he's strong enough for surgery.
00:13:40You want him to live here full time?
00:13:43We'll make sure that he's very comfortable.
00:13:44And you can visit him whenever you like.
00:13:51Have you been able to figure out a payment plan?
00:13:55I've brokered a deal with the devil.
00:13:58Just have to sign it.
00:13:59I thought I'd never see you again.
00:14:08Do you have a pen?
00:14:15Helga will be overseeing your transition into the house.
00:14:18Welcome to the Maslow Estate.
00:14:21Must be exciting.
00:14:23Our bedroom is over there.
00:14:26It's all very nice.
00:14:29I work long hours, so try to keep quiet.
00:14:32I'll be spending most days at the hospital with Nico anyways.
00:14:35Hey, what's in here?
00:14:44Hey, you can have your run of the house.
00:14:48But that room is completely off limits.
00:14:51You understand?
00:14:53I do.
00:14:54I do.
00:15:05Helga, help Alice get situated.
00:15:09I have to make a phone call.
00:15:10Of course, Mr. Maslow.
00:15:13Thanks for all your help.
00:15:15Of course, anything for Gideon.
00:15:18You must do a really great job as house manager.
00:15:21I mean, he never wants to leave this place.
00:15:25Gideon is a very complicated and brilliant man.
00:15:30I'm sure he is.
00:15:31I've stood by him through great joy and great sorrow.
00:15:36That's nice.
00:15:39And sorrowful.
00:15:42Please feel free to call on me for anything that you need.
00:15:45I'll be nearby.
00:15:46All the time.
00:15:48Keeping an eye on you.
00:16:03I thought you'd be asleep.
00:16:05Restless, I guess.
00:16:11So, how was your first day at the house?
00:16:16I don't think Helga likes me very much.
00:16:19You know, she's been with me for years.
00:16:21She's very loyal.
00:16:23Yeah, she mentioned something about that.
00:16:27You know, I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:30You know, I think you need to get some sleep.
00:16:32Because stress is bad for baby making.
00:16:36Our appointment is tomorrow.
00:16:38Are you going to come with me?
00:16:39I sent my sample to the doctor already.
00:16:42So he's just going to insert it into you.
00:16:46How romantic.
00:16:47Is it okay?
00:16:48You know, she's kind of sick.
00:16:49I mean, she's still going to come with me.
00:16:50I don't think it's still happening.
00:16:51I think you're going to be a solid thing.
00:16:52I don't know.
00:16:52I don't know.
00:16:52I don't know.
00:16:52I don't know.
00:16:52I don't know.
00:16:53I know.
00:16:53I don't know.
00:16:53I don't know.
00:16:53I don't know.
00:18:40Miss Cartney.
00:18:41This room is off-limits to guests.
00:18:46I'm not a guest.
00:18:53You heard Mr. Maslow.
00:18:54Oh, thank you.
00:19:18You know, I've become such a fast reader these last few weeks.
00:19:22See? Perks of taking it easy.
00:19:24Exactly.
00:19:25Who needs friends when you have your sister's old books?
00:19:28Ha. Funny.
00:19:33Really, I'm super proud of how seriously you're taking this recovery.
00:19:37Yeah, anything to get me back to real life faster.
00:19:40I hate to break it to you, buddy, but this is a lot more like real life than whatever you're missing over summer break.
00:19:46How is this real life?
00:19:48Having your priorities straight, compromising on joy because it's what you have to do, doesn't get more real life than that, babe.
00:19:57Looking good, isn't he?
00:20:01You've done great work.
00:20:02Well, I take tips.
00:20:05I'm a little strapped for cash at the moment.
00:20:07Saving up for a big surgery.
00:20:09Speaking of, we were able to set a date.
00:20:12The nurse will go over everything with you, but we're looking pretty good.
00:20:18Nico's on the up and up.
00:20:34So Helga told me you went snooping.
00:20:41What a tattletale.
00:20:42I gave you access to every other room in the house.
00:20:44You couldn't respect my one wish?
00:20:46Have you ever heard the story of Bluebeard?
00:20:48Obviously not.
00:20:49Okay, well, it's a folktale about a woman who marries an older man named Bluebeard.
00:20:53She moves in with him, and he allows her access to every room in the house except for one.
00:20:58Sound familiar?
00:21:00So what?
00:21:01So, it turns out he had the corpses of six other wives stuffed in the room.
00:21:06You think I went through all this just to kill you?
00:21:08Well, there's easier ways of doing that and much more fun ones.
00:21:13Well, when you tell me something is off limits, I'm going to assume the worst.
00:21:18You are so stubborn.
00:21:20We did not disclose that in the contract before we signed it.
00:21:24Well, you're a secretive.
00:21:25You didn't mention that.
00:21:27And I don't think you're really 6'5".
00:21:29Oh, I'm 6'5".
00:21:31Come on, Gideon.
00:21:33You can trust me.
00:21:35Who is she?
00:21:36The woman in the painting.
00:21:40She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:21:42Or any other woman for that matter.
00:21:44The woman in the painting.
00:22:14Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:22:19Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:22:25What does that mean?
00:22:31It means...
00:22:33I only want to think about you.
00:22:39My little dove.
00:22:40What the...
00:22:59What the...
00:23:00What the...
00:23:24Hey!
00:23:25Hey!
00:23:26Hello.
00:23:27Crazy how we live in the same house and I can still go days without seeing you.
00:23:32Big house.
00:23:33Gets lonely.
00:23:35Pancakes?
00:23:36Pancakes.
00:23:37Want some?
00:23:38No, I'm more of a waffle man.
00:23:40You know, there's more surface area for the syrup.
00:23:43Here.
00:23:44Try one.
00:23:45It's good.
00:23:46I promise.
00:23:52It's my secret recipe.
00:23:55It's good, right?
00:23:56It's good.
00:23:57It's really good.
00:23:58You're not gonna have any?
00:23:59No, I had the craziest craving for them this morning, but now my stomach feels a little
00:24:14weird.
00:24:15Alice.
00:24:16Hmm.
00:24:17You think?
00:24:18Do you have a test?
00:24:23What's it say?
00:24:24Negative.
00:24:25Damn.
00:24:26I really thought it would work.
00:24:28I'll get a better doctor.
00:24:29You know, maybe we need to do an egg retrieval first, create an embryo, and plant it back
00:24:33into you.
00:24:34That could take months.
00:24:35But you signed the contract.
00:24:36You knew you were in this for the long haul.
00:24:37Oh, I know.
00:24:38I'm just bummed that it didn't work.
00:24:40Oh, yeah.
00:24:41Oh, me too.
00:24:42Oh, me too.
00:24:43Oh, me too.
00:24:44Oh, me too.
00:24:45Oh, me too.
00:24:46Oh, me too.
00:24:47Oh, me too.
00:24:48Oh, me too.
00:24:49Oh, me too.
00:24:50Oh, me too.
00:24:51You know, there are other ways.
00:24:52the contract. You knew you were in this for the long haul. Oh, I know. I'm just bummed that it
00:24:58didn't work. Oh, yeah. Oh, me too.
00:25:06You know, there are other ways I could get pregnant that involves less needles and plastic
00:25:25cups and hospital gowns. Oh, yeah? Birds do it. Bees do it. I mean, why can't we do it?
00:25:36No, Alice, I'm not paying you to have sex with me. I know, but you are paying me to have
00:25:43a child with you, and this could really increase our chances. No, Alice, sex, it complicates
00:25:50things. Of course it does, when feelings are involved. But we are two business partners
00:25:55with a goal, and sex could be the solution. Aren't you a little bit curious? I'm curious.
00:26:05I know you don't trust women or whatever, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have any
00:26:11pleasure. And you must find me a little attractive. I mean, you want your heir to have half of
00:26:18my jeans. You sure that's what you really want to do? I'm sure.
00:26:30There's just one thing you should know. Yeah? What is it?
00:26:33What? Our parents died when I was 17. I didn't have time to date if I wasn't working or I was with
00:26:48Nico. So you haven't been on one date? Men have asked me out, yeah, but they didn't understand why
00:26:56I couldn't leave my brother, and I didn't want to bring strangers back to our apartment.
00:27:01Look, this is the first time in my life where I haven't been worried about money.
00:27:06About how I'm going to pay rent, how I'm going to pay Nico's next medical bill.
00:27:11For once in my life, I can finally think about what I might want.
00:27:16What I might desire.
00:27:18So you were going to have my baby, and you've never had sex before?
00:27:23I know. I'm a saint. The Virgin Mary.
00:27:31What? Does this void the deal?
00:27:36I should have told you.
00:27:37Yes, you should have told me.
00:27:42Where are you going?
00:27:43I, uh, I have to think.
00:27:56Hello, brother.
00:27:58It's unlike you to have me over on a work day.
00:28:01I have a problem.
00:28:04Alice.
00:28:06Oh, the mystery girlfriend.
00:28:08Yeah, she's a, uh, a virgin.
00:28:12There's a twist.
00:28:19I'm very surprised.
00:28:21She's quite pretty.
00:28:24It's just a little more responsibility than I was prepared for.
00:28:28I know it's been a while since you've been with anyone, but I'm sure you remember how to do it.
00:28:34In fact, if I remember correctly, Jenny Mills was a virgin.
00:28:37And he slept with her.
00:28:39So was I, and we were 16.
00:28:41Just take it slow.
00:28:43Right?
00:28:44Come on.
00:28:45Just wind a diner.
00:28:47Ah, Gideon.
00:28:52You're going to have to behave like a gentleman.
00:28:57What will you do?
00:28:58Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?
00:29:09No, I knew I shouldn't have told you.
00:29:11Just hold on a second.
00:29:12No, I should have known better.
00:29:14It's a mistake.
00:29:14Every time someone finds out, they look at me different.
00:29:16Like, like I'm something fragile.
00:29:18They're afraid of breaking.
00:29:19No, hey, please don't tell me what's going on in my own mind.
00:29:24Look me in the eyes and tell me you didn't change your opinion of me.
00:29:27No, truthfully, I don't know.
00:29:29I don't know how I feel about it.
00:29:31I mean, it was certainly surprising.
00:29:32Bullshit.
00:29:34Alice, just slow down, okay?
00:29:38Is that fair?
00:29:45Fair.
00:29:49How about I take you for a drink?
00:29:52I thought you don't leave the house.
00:29:57Secret bar.
00:30:00Very James Bond.
00:30:04Yeah, I don't think it's such a bad thing.
00:30:08Not you being a virgin and all.
00:30:09I think that it points to some level of discipline.
00:30:14Can we talk about something else?
00:30:17It's been a while since I've been on a date.
00:30:19I'm a bit rusty.
00:30:23So what do you do locked away here all the time?
00:30:26Dress up in costumes and fight crime?
00:30:30Well, it helps to have a full bar next to the living room.
00:30:34So you really never leave?
00:30:37Never.
00:30:38Not even on a drive?
00:30:41Not even on a drive.
00:30:42Wild.
00:30:45There are benefits, though.
00:30:48Like?
00:30:51I don't normally tell people this,
00:30:53but I make the greatest martini in the entire world.
00:31:00Oh, yeah?
00:31:02Prove it.
00:31:03Well, I'll give it to you.
00:31:21That is a damn good drink.
00:31:23Have you ever even had a martini?
00:31:26No.
00:31:27But I'm from Iowa,
00:31:29and we know drinking.
00:31:32Thank you, bartender.
00:31:35So what brings you to this bar so late at night?
00:31:41Well, you know,
00:31:42I was supposed to meet someone here.
00:31:45Is he a good-looking guy?
00:31:48Well, he certainly seems to think so.
00:31:51You been working here long?
00:31:52No, I took it over from my father.
00:31:58Yeah?
00:32:00Yeah.
00:32:02I grew up in this house.
00:32:06God, I thought I told you that.
00:32:09No.
00:32:10But you don't really tell me anything.
00:32:14Well, when my parents died,
00:32:16I took over the estate.
00:32:19Are we sleeping in their bed?
00:32:21No, no.
00:32:23Absolutely not.
00:32:24Well, I mean, maybe the mattress pad.
00:32:26Oh, very sexy.
00:32:28Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to be sexy.
00:32:32Well, it would certainly help pass the time.
00:32:34But before I was sleeping.
00:32:38Okay.
00:32:49I'm ready, isn't it?
00:32:51Yes.
00:32:52Wait a moment.
00:32:53Okay.
00:33:00Bye-bye.
00:33:01Bye-bye.
00:33:02Bye-bye.
00:33:02Bye-bye.
00:33:02Bye-bye.
00:33:03Bye-bye.
00:33:03Bye-bye.
00:33:04How was that?
00:33:19It didn't pass much time.
00:33:34Are you sure you want this?
00:33:57There's no pressure.
00:33:59Do you feel any kind of way?
00:34:00And if it hurts or anything?
00:34:01Yeah, thank you.
00:34:04I'll follow you, Lee, all right?
00:34:08You take control.
00:34:09Does that sound OK?
00:34:13I want you to take control.
00:34:34Good morning.
00:34:36Oh, hey.
00:34:37Good morning.
00:34:39You feeling OK?
00:34:41Yeah.
00:34:43That was good, right?
00:34:48Oh, yeah.
00:34:49It was really good.
00:34:50We could have another drink tonight.
00:34:56I actually forgot to tell you.
00:34:58We're going to have dinner with Karen and Jenny tonight.
00:35:00Dinner?
00:35:03OK, but why?
00:35:06Well, I mean, we have to seem like a big, happy family.
00:35:08If we're getting divorced in a year, we don't have to appear that happy.
00:35:12Well, no.
00:35:12I mean, we can't have any cracks in our story.
00:35:15I love my brother, but he's got a loud mouth.
00:35:19And Jenny will say anything about everything.
00:35:21Well, then we better get our story straight.
00:35:23If we're going to get grilled, we should be on the same page.
00:35:25I'm sure.
00:35:27We could practice.
00:35:28I mean, our brother isn't exactly Columbo, and Jenny and Helga are harmless.
00:35:34Helga's coming?
00:35:36Yeah, she says she wanted to get to know you.
00:35:39She has it out for me.
00:35:40It's one night.
00:35:42We can get through one night.
00:35:48Soup's almost ready.
00:35:50Just another few minutes.
00:35:51Thank you, Helga.
00:35:52It's nice to get some face time with you, Alice.
00:35:58I've been wanting to get to know you better.
00:36:00Well, you know what they say?
00:36:02You don't know someone until you see them eat.
00:36:06How do you eat, Alice?
00:36:11You want me to spoil the surprise?
00:36:13I'll tell you how I eat.
00:36:16Until I'm full.
00:36:19Can attest to that.
00:36:20So tell us, how did you and Gideon meet?
00:36:23And the questions begin before you even hire appetizers.
00:36:27It'll be another few minutes.
00:36:29What were you saying, Gideon, about how you two met?
00:36:32Well, dear, would you like me to, or would you like to?
00:36:35Well, I just love the way you tell it.
00:36:37All right.
00:36:38Well, it's a very funny story, actually.
00:36:42We met at a charity event a few years ago, and then we happened to come across each other online a few months ago.
00:36:51What's funny about that?
00:36:53The way life works, sometimes.
00:36:56Well, honey, you forgot the funniest part about how later that night you accidentally tripped me.
00:37:02Oh, and then she dropped her champagne glass.
00:37:10What event was it?
00:37:13What charity event was it?
00:37:14The one for the opera.
00:37:22I remember this.
00:37:24I literally remember Gideon telling me that he tripped someone.
00:37:28Don't you remember, Kieran?
00:37:29I told you about this.
00:37:30You know, I just don't remember you in our circle.
00:37:37You don't seem like the type.
00:37:38Why?
00:37:42Am I not high class enough?
00:37:44I didn't mean that.
00:37:46No, it's okay.
00:37:47I get it.
00:37:48I would be worried, too, if I thought someone was trying to take advantage of my family.
00:37:53I know you have a lot to protect, and I don't come from a home like this.
00:37:59So you're right.
00:38:00I can't prove to you that I'm not some gold digger.
00:38:03All I can do is promise you that Gideon and I, we know the truth, and we trust each other.
00:38:19You really are a special girl.
00:38:22I had my doubts, of course.
00:38:25I couldn't be sure of your intentions, especially with the way you walked in that first day.
00:38:29Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
00:38:31You two moved in together so quick, I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.
00:38:37You can imagine my relief when I saw the negative pregnancy test.
00:38:44Pregnancy test?
00:38:47Were you going through my trash?
00:38:50Of course not, Alice.
00:38:51Be reasonable.
00:38:53I was cleaning up the mess you made in your bathroom and didn't know what I was looking at until it was too late.
00:38:58Are you trying to get pregnant?
00:38:59Of course not, Kieran, but accidents happen.
00:39:01We are trying.
00:39:07Gideon, you don't think it's a little rushed?
00:39:10Of course it's rushed.
00:39:11No, it's not.
00:39:13And how is that?
00:39:14Because we...
00:39:17It's okay, you can tell if I'm Gideon.
00:39:21I asked him to keep it a surprise, but we're getting married.
00:39:27What?
00:39:31When is this happening?
00:39:32Um, next week?
00:39:38And you're sure this is something you want to do?
00:39:40Well, in that case, welcome to the family, Alice.
00:39:58Soup's on!
00:39:58I'm sorry, I told everyone we're getting married.
00:40:04I panicked.
00:40:05They were going to find out sooner or later.
00:40:07You know, now we need to pull together a quick wedding.
00:40:11Sounds easy enough.
00:40:13Oh, we got to get Nico cleared for a couple hours from the hospital.
00:40:17Why?
00:40:19Don't you want your brother there?
00:40:20How would that help the plan?
00:40:24No, I mean, don't you want your brother at the wedding?
00:40:29Now's not a good time.
00:40:31And besides, he'll be there when I get married for real one day.
00:40:37Yeah, no, that's fine.
00:40:40I gotta get prepared.
00:40:44You gotta get a dress.
00:40:50I almost forgot.
00:41:13Need help?
00:41:14I think I got it.
00:41:16Please, let me help.
00:41:17It's what I'm here for.
00:41:20Are you nervous?
00:41:24Why would I be nervous?
00:41:26It's your wedding day.
00:41:28Right.
00:41:30I'm actually fine.
00:41:31Gideon's a great guy.
00:41:33I'm aware.
00:41:35I just mean there's nothing to be nervous about.
00:41:38I'm happy for you.
00:41:40Both of you.
00:41:41But especially you.
00:41:43What an amazing accomplishment.
00:41:46You should take your seat.
00:41:47The ceremony's starting soon, and I want to make sure you have a great view.
00:41:51It's bad luck to see each other before the wedding.
00:42:11I know.
00:42:12I think I can afford it.
00:42:13Why's that?
00:42:16Hold on one second.
00:42:17I've got a surprise for you.
00:42:24Congratulations.
00:42:28What are you doing here?
00:42:30It's your big day.
00:42:31We thought we'd surprise you.
00:42:33We?
00:42:33Me and Gideon.
00:42:37Hey.
00:42:37Hey.
00:42:38Hey.
00:42:42Think about how happy mom and dad would be to see us right now.
00:42:46Two orphans all grown up.
00:42:48Why did you get so old?
00:42:56We both got old way too young.
00:42:59I love that you're here.
00:43:01Okay, but nothing is worth risking your health.
00:43:05You're all I got, you know that?
00:43:09Not anymore.
00:43:10You're sure you're okay to sit through the whole ceremony?
00:43:17Oh, yeah.
00:43:17Definitely good enough to have a few drinks later.
00:43:19Let's get you wifed.
00:43:24Do you, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:43:28Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow, through sickness and health,
00:43:33and whatever challenges you may face as long as you both shall live?
00:43:37I do.
00:43:38Would you please exchange rings?
00:43:57I do.
00:43:58Would you please exchange rings?
00:43:59I do.
00:44:00I do.
00:44:01I do.
00:44:02I do.
00:44:03I do.
00:44:05I do.
00:44:06By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:44:20You may kiss the bride.
00:44:20You may kiss the bride.
00:44:21I do.
00:44:22I do.
00:44:23I do.
00:44:24I do.
00:44:25I do.
00:44:26I do.
00:44:27I do.
00:44:28I do.
00:44:29I do.
00:44:30I do.
00:44:31I do.
00:44:32I do.
00:44:33I do.
00:44:34I do.
00:44:35I do.
00:44:36I do.
00:44:37I do.
00:44:38I do.
00:44:39I do.
00:44:40I do.
00:44:41I do.
00:44:42I do.
00:44:43I do.
00:44:44I do.
00:44:45Oh, my God, you were so beautiful.
00:44:56You have no idea how mad I am at you.
00:44:59You were incredible today.
00:45:16Have you ever even heard of a boundary?
00:45:20Well, I've closed nine-figure deals on seven continents.
00:45:25Of course I've heard of boundaries.
00:45:27I just, I don't know, I thought you'd be more appreciative.
00:45:32How? You totally ignored what I said.
00:45:35Because it wasn't what you wanted.
00:45:37What I want is for Nico to be healthy for his surgery.
00:45:41You jeopardized his health. Do you know how big of a violation that is?
00:45:45It's fine. Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:45:48He's gonna get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow.
00:45:51You're not his father.
00:45:52You're not his mother.
00:45:57Alice.
00:45:58No, I don't want to see you.
00:46:00I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want.
00:46:05Tell her we're fighting.
00:46:07No, Alice.
00:46:08Today's the day.
00:46:22First day of the rest of my life.
00:46:25Or the last, we'll see.
00:46:27God, I hate when you say stuff like that.
00:46:29I'm just joking. Relax.
00:46:31It'll be fine.
00:46:33So where's your husband?
00:46:37You know, he doesn't leave the house much.
00:46:40Or at all, apparently.
00:46:42I was hoping he'd be with you.
00:46:44Well, don't worry about me.
00:46:47The doctor is gonna take you to the operating room soon,
00:46:50and I will be here the whole time.
00:46:52I know you will be.
00:46:54Gideon.
00:47:19Gideon.
00:47:22You left the house.
00:47:23It was getting stuffy in there.
00:47:28What are you doing here?
00:47:29I just, I really want to be here with you.
00:47:49I'm a nervous wreck.
00:47:52He's gonna be fine.
00:47:54You want to know how I know?
00:47:56How?
00:47:58Because I think you promise.
00:48:03I take these so seriously.
00:48:19Alice?
00:48:24Yes?
00:48:25How is Eve?
00:48:30Nico's surgery was a huge success.
00:48:33They'll bring him in here in just a moment.
00:48:35Okay.
00:48:36Um, so everything went well?
00:48:38Better than we could have hoped for.
00:48:40We'll keep him for two more days,
00:48:41and then he'll be free to go home.
00:48:44Two days?
00:48:45Is that enough time?
00:48:47I want him to have around-the-clock medical care.
00:48:49What if there are complications?
00:48:51We don't foresee any complications.
00:48:53Money's not gonna be a concern.
00:48:55Whatever it takes is fine.
00:48:56Money's not a concern for us either.
00:48:58The thing is, I don't think he needs to be here any longer.
00:49:02He'll make a speedy recovery.
00:49:04I don't know what to do.
00:49:05I don't know.
00:49:06No, but then he's just-
00:49:10It's incredible.
00:49:12It's my strings and elements, right?
00:49:13What?
00:49:14Yes, I'm sorry.
00:49:17Ouch.
00:49:19Ouch.
00:49:21I don't know what you want, I don't know what you want.
00:49:37Gideon?
00:49:51What are you doing?
00:50:03I want this to be Nico's room.
00:50:07You don't have to do that. It's a big house, there are plenty of rooms.
00:50:12No. I'm ready to move on. To start over.
00:50:18Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:50:21I'm ready to go.
00:50:29Krista. She was quite the artist. Very famous. I'm sure you've heard of her.
00:50:36I'm absolutely sure I haven't.
00:50:40What happened between you two?
00:50:42She lied. She knew I wanted an heir.
00:50:46She had me fall in love with her.
00:50:48All the while knowing that she didn't want to become a mother.
00:50:53Women have always lied.
00:50:56Even when I was a kid, they would lie.
00:51:00Just to come to see my house.
00:51:02And then as we grew up, it became more about the gifts and the vacations.
00:51:06My point is, I'm used to it.
00:51:12What made her different?
00:51:13She really had me fooled.
00:51:17You know, I had to pay her off just to never see her again.
00:51:23I was so angry.
00:51:24I didn't want to see anyone.
00:51:25And that's when the rumors started.
00:51:26Recluse billionaire.
00:51:27Gideon Maslow.
00:51:28Must be hard to hear people say that about you.
00:51:29No, I didn't care what they said anymore.
00:51:30You know, I had given up on love.
00:51:31But I had never given up on an heir.
00:51:36You know, I'm not going to hurt you like she did.
00:51:41You really can trust me.
00:51:44Can I tell you a secret?
00:51:46I know you're not going to hurt you, you're not going to hurt you yet.
00:51:48but I had never given up on an heir.
00:51:50You know, I'm not gonna hurt you like she did.
00:51:55You really can trust me.
00:51:58Can I tell you a secret?
00:52:04I think I believe you.
00:52:18I think I believe you.
00:52:48I think I believe you.
00:53:18I think I believe you.
00:53:48I think I believe you.
00:54:18I think I believe you.
00:54:20Hello?
00:54:21Hello, Mr. Maslow.
00:54:23This is Brenda from Parkside Surrogacy Agency returning your call.
00:54:26Brenda?
00:54:27That's strange.
00:54:28I didn't call you.
00:54:30Really?
00:54:31I wondered why we never heard from you.
00:54:32And we're nearly ready to send you some options.
00:54:38No, I'm very pleased with the one that you referred.
00:54:43Mr. Maslow, we never referred anyone.
00:54:48What do you mean?
00:54:49I'm working with Alice Gardner.
00:54:52Who's Alice Gardner?
00:54:53Is everything okay?
00:55:02I just got off the phone with, uh, Brenda.
00:55:07Parkside Surrogacy.
00:55:08Gideon.
00:55:09I thought you said that I can trust you.
00:55:12God, I almost believed you.
00:55:14All the while, you've been lying to my face.
00:55:16Gideon, just let me explain.
00:55:17You are just like the rest of them.
00:55:20You know that you were...
00:55:22You're just like her.
00:55:23Okay, you're right.
00:55:24I'm no different than her.
00:55:26I lied to get close to you,
00:55:27and I was only in it for the money,
00:55:28but somewhere along the way, things changed.
00:55:31Okay, I fell in love with you.
00:55:34Gideon, I'm in love with you.
00:55:37That's what Krista said, too.
00:55:39I don't know what to say to make you believe me.
00:55:41Don't try, because it's not going to work.
00:55:44Right, I thought that having a contract
00:55:46would finally take the complications out of everything,
00:55:49letting me finally get an heir to my estate.
00:55:52God, you violated it from the start.
00:55:54You don't want an heir.
00:55:56Gideon, you want a child.
00:55:58You want to be a dad and to have a family,
00:56:00and deep down, you know that.
00:56:02I don't want to leave when the money is paid.
00:56:04I want to stay, and I want to have a family with you.
00:56:07You're not scared that it's fake.
00:56:10You're scared that it might actually be real this time.
00:56:15I feel sorry for you, Gideon.
00:56:17You have everything in this world,
00:56:20and you're going to end up with nothing.
00:56:22Oh, I didn't know you were here.
00:56:43I was going to make the bed.
00:56:44Looks like you already did.
00:56:49Hmm.
00:56:49Looks like I already did.
00:56:55I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:56:56I know you were really hoping she would be the one,
00:57:01but I guess she was just another one.
00:57:05It makes me question if I could be of assistance.
00:57:10Not unless you can get me an heir.
00:57:15That's actually exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:57:19The last thing I want to do is overstep.
00:57:22It would be my nightmare to learn that I've crossed some sort of boundary.
00:57:25But I think Alice has confused you.
00:57:30Somewhere along the way, she got in your head and made it all mushy-gushy.
00:57:34What happened to you, Gideon?
00:57:37You want an heir?
00:57:38Then you need someone you can trust.
00:57:41Someone who you don't need to worry will start feeling feelings or thinking thoughts.
00:57:46Gideon, I've stood by you, unwaveringly, watching these women enter and exit your life.
00:57:57You really want an heir?
00:58:00The Gideon I know would put one inside me right now.
00:58:16No, she didn't confuse me.
00:58:26She colored me in.
00:58:29Shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:58:42It's never simple with you, is it?
00:58:46I guess not.
00:58:48But I won't be making that mistake again.
00:58:53Which mistake is that?
00:58:56Poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin?
00:59:02Falling in love.
00:59:09Okay.
00:59:10I am going to do something that is very unlike me and actually give a shit for a second.
00:59:22Gideon, aside from the doctor that delivered you, I've known you longer than anyone on this planet.
00:59:29And once I finally kill that doctor, it'll be just me.
00:59:31Through all the parties, all the success, and all the women, I've never seen you as happy as when you are with Alice.
00:59:41I know she lied to you.
00:59:46She lied to me from the very beginning, from the absolute onset.
00:59:49Everything was built on a lie.
00:59:52But if you're going to trust something,
00:59:56trust your heart.
00:59:59Do you really want to lose her?
01:00:00Is it really worth that?
01:00:11So it was never real?
01:00:14It wasn't.
01:00:17Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:18I didn't think you'd understand.
01:00:20You try to protect me way too much, Alice.
01:00:23That's my job.
01:00:24And you've done a good job.
01:00:26You fixed my broken heart.
01:00:28But now I can do all the things that we dreamed about when we were kids.
01:00:34I don't need a mom.
01:00:36I need a sister.
01:00:39I love you so much.
01:00:43Can I tell you something?
01:00:45Always.
01:00:46I really loved him too.
01:00:58Hey.
01:01:15Hi.
01:01:16Hi.
01:01:20Well, I'm going to go to my room.
01:01:22Be nice.
01:01:23Hi.
01:01:23I will.
01:01:27I'm sorry for lying to you.
01:01:29No, I'm sorry for giving it all up
01:01:32and wanting to throw it all away.
01:01:35That's not what you do, you know, when you love someone.
01:01:40I love you, Alice.
01:01:44I love you, Gideon.
01:01:47I want to be with you, and I want a family with you, and-
01:01:50That's what I want, I want you forever.
01:01:53What is that?
01:02:11I felt a bit weird this morning, so I thought I'd check.
