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, I thought you were selling something.
00:03:59What would I be selling?
00:04:00I wasn't sure.
00:04:01I'm here to see Mr. Maslow.
00:04:02I have an appointment.
00:04:03Oh, you must be Miss Gardner.
00:04:04Sorry, I thought you were selling something.
00:04:05What would I be selling?
00:04:06I wasn't sure.
00:04:07Ill-fitting jackets.
00:04:08I think they were your family fixed.
00:04:09I'm there to be a place.
00:04:10I was in the store.
00:04:11I was in the store.
00:04:12I was in the store.
00:04:13Yes, I was in the store.
00:04:14I was in the store.
00:04:15I was in the store.
00:04:16And if you were gone, where I was in the store.
00:04:17But you could see her.
00:04:18Like what's going on?
00:04:19I was going to go.
00:04:20Oh, I was going to work.
00:04:21And let's go.
00:04:24I wasn't sure.
00:04:25Ill-fitting jackets.
00:04:31Alice.
00:04:33I see you met my house manager, Elga.
00:04:40Follow me.
00:04:49Sign.
00:04:50What 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, jeez, I 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?
00:05:36My 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, what?
00:05:50Oh.
00:05:52You're one of those billionaires.
00:05:55Freaky psychopath.
00:05:56Well, the marriage would be a temporary situation.
00:05:59After the birth of my son.
00:06:00Your son?
00:06:01Or whatever.
00:06:02After the birth of my heir.
00:06:04We'll divorce.
00:06:06He'll retain visitation rights.
00:06:08But 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.
00:06:19See, the community would never accept a bastard.
00:06:23I don't get it.
00:06:25You have money, and a nice face, and a great body,
00:06:29and you are tall.
00:06:31How tall are you?
00:06:33Why 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?
00:06:42Who said anything about sex?
00:06:44I know how husbands and wives make babies.
00:06:46No, we would take the medical approach.
00:06:49This is a business proposition, not a romantic one.
00:06:53These days, marriages, they're all financial relationships anyways.
00:06:58We would just be settling ours up front.
00:07:03I'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.
00:07:20Ten...
00:07:22Ten... million dollars?
00:07:24Ten million dollars.
00:07:26Okay.
00:07:28Okay, I'll do it.
00:07:30Well, you can take your time and think.
00:07:32No, it's alright. Where do I sign?
00:07:34Slow down, Alice.
00:07:36I 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.
00:07:41You've found me, Mrs. Gideon Maslow.
00:07:45You really like the sound of all that money, don't you?
00:07:48No, I don't like it.
00:07:50I need it.
00:07:54My 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.
00:08:01So why don't she ask your parents for the money?
00:08:05It's not an option.
00:08:08Look, I'll be the best fake wife you've ever had, okay?
00:08:12Please?
00:08:16Please?
00:08:20Alright.
00:08:22We'll call it highly motivated.
00:08:24I like that in a business partner.
00:08:26You're hired.
00:08:28I promise you, it's all quite standard.
00:08:33Yes, quite.
00:08:35It says here that I don't get the money until the baby is born.
00:08:39Yes, but I will front the cost of Nico's surgery.
00:08:43And all your day-to-day expenses will be taken care of.
00:08:46I have to live with you?
00:08:47I have to live with you?
00:08:49I told you, the relationship has to appear real.
00:08:54Well, then Nico needs to live here too.
00:08:56My brother can't be alone.
00:09:00Alright.
00:09:07Now what? Why aren't you signing?
00:09:09I want you to meet him first.
00:09:11I'll send a car.
00:09:12No, no, I can't have him leave the house.
00:09:14Is he a kid or is he a dog?
00:09:18He's sick, Gideon.
00:09:19Alright, well I don't leave the estate.
00:09:21So 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.
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.
00:09:35So I asked her to keep our romance quiet, I hope.
00:09:39Well, I hope you can forgive me.
00:09:41Yeah, I think I can forgive anyone with a house this big.
00:09:44Don't get too excited, your heart.
00:09:52Karen, what are you doing here?
00:09:55Can't drop in to surprise my big brother?
00:09:57No, it's not a good time. I have guests.
00:10:02How was I supposed to know you've never had a guest?
00:10:06That's not true, Alice. This is my very funny brother, Kieran.
00:10:11It's good to meet you.
00:10:13Jenny.
00:10:14Hi.
00:10:16And you are?
00:10:18Oh, I'm his girlfriend.
00:10:26Oh.
00:10:28So you two have been dating how long?
00:10:31I don't think it's been so long.
00:10:35I'm pretty sure I mentioned Alice to you.
00:10:39Pretty sure you did.
00:10:41No, I'm pretty sure I have.
00:10:42Hey, how about we take a walk outside, take a walk around the grounds?
00:10:47It's a beautiful day today.
00:10:52But you think that, like, maybe there would be enough?
00:10:56I think everyone buys it.
00:10:59Do Carrie and Jenny have kids?
00:11:01They've been trying for some years, but, I mean, it's a sensitive topic.
00:11:05It's hard to hear that.
00:11:07Somebody's got to carry on the Maslow name.
00:11:09I'll give him my best shot.
00:11:15Alice?
00:11:16No, I'm good.
00:11:17Nico?
00:11:19Your brother!
00:11:21Nico, no!
00:11:31His pulse is steady.
00:11:33Nico, can you hear me?
00:11:35It's okay.
00:11:36Open your eyes, breathe, breathe.
00:11:39Oh my God, I am so sorry.
00:11:40I, I, I, I, I think I just got a little overexcited.
00:11:42You got nothing to be sorry about.
00:11:44It's fine, I can keep walking.
00:11:45Absolutely not.
00:11:47We're going to the hospital.
00:11:48Aiden, are you going to be okay to drive?
00:11:49I told you he shouldn't have come here.
00:11:51Alice!
00:11:52It's good that he's getting some rest.
00:11:53What did the lab say?
00:11:54What did the lab say?
00:11:55His condition is getting worse.
00:11:56His condition is getting worse.
00:11:57We need to take a more aggressive approach.
00:11:58We need to take a more aggressive approach.
00:11:59It's fine, I can keep walking.
00:12:00It's fine, I can keep walking.
00:12:01Absolutely not.
00:12:02He should stay in the hospital until he's strong enough for surgery.
00:12:03I told you he shouldn't have come here.
00:12:04I told you he shouldn't have come here.
00:12:05I told you he shouldn't have come here.
00:12:06Alice!
00:12:07It's good that he's getting some rest.
00:12:19What did the lab say?
00:12:22His condition is getting worse.
00:12:24We 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.
00:12:33You want him to live here full time?
00:12:35We'll make sure that he's very comfortable.
00:12:38And you can visit him whenever you like.
00:12:43Have 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.
00:12:58I thought I'd never see you again.
00:13:01Do you have a pen?
00:13:05Helga will be overseeing your transition into the house.
00:13:10Welcome to the Maslow Estate.
00:13:13Must be exciting.
00:13:15Our bedroom is over there.
00:13:18It's all very nice.
00:13:19I work long hours, so try to keep quiet.
00:13:24I'll be spending most days at the hospital with Nico anyways.
00:13:26Hey, what's in here?
00:13:31Hey.
00:13:32You can have your run of the house, but that room is completely off limits.
00:13:41You understand?
00:13:42I do.
00:13:43Helga, help Alice get situated.
00:13:44I can make a phone call.
00:13:45Of course, Mr. Maslow.
00:13:47Thanks for all your help.
00:13:48Of course, anything for Gideon.
00:13:49You must do a really great job as house manager.
00:13:50I mean, he never wants to leave this place.
00:13:51Gideon is a very complicated and brilliant man.
00:13:54You must do a really great job as house manager.
00:13:55I mean, he never wants to leave this place.
00:13:56Gideon is a very complicated and brilliant man.
00:13:57I'm sure he is.
00:14:20I'm sure he is.
00:14:23I've stood by him through great joy and great sorrow.
00:14:27That'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 all the time, keeping an eye on you.
00:14:50I 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.
00:15:10You know, she's been with me for years.
00:15:12She's very loyal.
00:15:14Yeah, she mentioned something about that.
00:15:16You 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.
00:15:27Our 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.
00:15:46You know, I 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.
00:15:58I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:15:59I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:00I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:01I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:02I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:03I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:17:34I'm not a guest.
00:17:43You heard, Mr. Maslow.
00:18:04Oh, thank you.
00:18:09You know, I've become such a fast reader these last few weeks.
00:18:12See? Perks of taking it easy.
00:18:14Exactly. Who needs friends when you have your sister's old books?
00:18:18Ha. Funny.
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.
00:18:30I hate to break it to you, buddy, but this is a lot more like real life than whatever you're missing over summer break.
00:18:36How 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.
00:18:52Well, I take tips.
00:18:55I'm a little strapped for cash at the moment.
00:18:57Saving up for a big surgery.
00:18:58Speaking of, we were able to set a date.
00:19:05The nurse will go over everything with you, but we're looking pretty good.
00:19:08Nico's on the up and up.
00:19:24So Helga told me you went snooping.
00:19:28What 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 folk tale 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?
00:19:58There'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.
00:20:33I don't know.
00:20:35Yeah, we need her.
00:20:35Okay.
00:20:55Yeah.
00:20:56Yeah.
00:20:56Why 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.
00:21:26My little dove.
00:21:47What the?
00:21:56What the?
00:21:57What the?
00:21:58What the?
00:21:59What the?
00:22:00What the?
00:22:01What the?
00:22:02What the?
00:22:03What the?
00:22:04What the?
00:22:05What the?
00:22:06What the?
00:22:08What the?
00:22:09What the?
00:22:10What the?
00:22:11What the?
00:22:11What the?
00:22:13What the?
00:22:15Hey.
00:22:16Hello.
00:22:17Crazy how we live in the same house and I can still go days without seeing you.
00:22:21Big house.
00:22:22Gets lonely.
00:22:24Pancakes?
00:22:26Pancakes.
00:22:27Want some?
00:22:28No, I'm more of a waffle man.
00:22:30You know, there's more surface area for the syrup.
00:22:32Here, try one.
00:22:34It's good.
00:22:35I promise.
00:22:41It's my secret recipe.
00:22:53It's good, right?
00:22:55It's good.
00:22:56It's really good.
00:22:57You're not going to have it?
00:22:59No, I had the craziest craving for them this morning, but now my stomach feels all weird.
00:23:04Alice.
00:23:06Hmm.
00:23:11You think?
00:23:13Do you have a test?
00:23:22What's it say?
00:23:25Negative.
00:23:27Damn.
00:23:28I really thought it would work.
00:23:30I'll get a better doctor.
00:23:32You know, maybe we need to do an egg retrieval first, create an embryo, and plant it back into you.
00:23:38That could take months.
00:23:40But you signed the contract.
00:23:42You knew you were in this for the long haul.
00:23:44Oh, I know.
00:23:45I'm just bummed that it didn't work.
00:23:49Oh.
00:23:50Yeah.
00:23:51No.
00:23:53Me too.
00:24:05You know, there are other ways I could get pregnant that involves less needles and plastic cups and hospital gowns.
00:24:15Oh, yeah?
00:24:16Birds do it.
00:24:18Bees do it.
00:24:19I mean, why can't we do it?
00:24:22No, 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, and this could really increase our chances.
00:24:34No, Alice, sex, it complicates things.
00:24:37Of course it does, when feelings are involved, but we are two business partners with a goal, and sex could be the solution.
00:24:45Aren't you a little bit curious?
00:24:50I'm curious.
00:24:51I know you don't trust women or whatever, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have any pleasure.
00:24:58And you must find me a little attractive.
00:25:03I mean, you want your heir to have half of my genes.
00:25:06Are you sure that's what you really want to do?
00:25:11I'm sure.
00:25:11There's just one thing you should know.
00:25:19Yeah?
00:25:20What is it?
00:25:22I'm a virgin.
00:25:27What?
00:25:28How?
00:25:28Our parents died when I was 17.
00:25:32I didn't have time to date if I wasn't working or 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, and I didn't want to bring strangers back to our apartment.
00:25:46Look, this is the first time in my life where I haven't been worried about money, about how I'm going to pay rent, how 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, what I might desire.
00:26:06So you were going to have my baby, and you've never had sex before?
00:26:10I know.
00:26:10I'm a saint.
00:26:12The Virgin Mary.
00:26:16What, does this void the deal?
00:26:22I should have told you.
00:26:24Yes, you should have told me.
00:26:29Where are you going?
00:26:33I, uh, I have to think.
00:26:42Hello, brother.
00:26:43It's unlike you to have me over on a work day.
00:26:47I have a problem.
00:26:50Alice.
00:26:52Oh, a mystery girlfriend.
00:26:54Yeah, she's a, uh, a virgin.
00:27:01There's a twist.
00:27:02I'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, but I'm sure you remember how to do it.
00:27:20In fact, if I remember correctly, Jenny Mills was a virgin, and you slept with her.
00:27:24So was I, and we were 16.
00:27:28So take it slow.
00:27:29Right?
00:27:30Come on.
00:27:31Let's wine and diner.
00:27:33Ah, Gideon.
00:27:38You're going to have to behave like a gentleman.
00:27:43What will you do?
00:27:51Hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?
00:27:53No, I knew I shouldn't have told you.
00:27:55Just 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.
00:28:02They're afraid of breaking.
00:28:03No.
00:28:04Hey, 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.
00:28:15I mean, it was certainly surprising.
00:28:17Bullshit.
00:28:18Alice?
00:28:18Just slow down, okay?
00:28:22Is that fair?
00:28:29Fair.
00:28:33How about I take you for a drink?
00:28:35I thought you don't leave the house.
00:28:41Secret bar.
00:28:43Very James Bond.
00:28:47You know, I don't think it's such a bad thing.
00:28:51Not you being a virgin and all.
00:28:53I think that it points to some level of discipline.
00:28:56Can 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?
00:29:21Never.
00:29:22Not even on a drive?
00:29:24Not even on a drive.
00:29:26Wild.
00:29:29There are benefits, though.
00:29:31Like?
00:29:35I don't normally tell people this.
00:29:37But I make the greatest martini in the entire world.
00:29:43Oh, yeah?
00:29:46Prove it.
00:29:46Prove it.
00:29:56Well, I'll give it to you.
00:30:03That is a damn good drink.
00:30:05Have you ever even had a martini?
00:30:07No.
00:30:07But I'm from Iowa, and we know drinking.
00:30:14Thank you, bartender.
00:30:17So what brings you to this bar so late at night?
00:30:19Well, you know, I was supposed to meet someone here.
00:30:27Is he a good-looking guy?
00:30:30Well, he certainly seems to think so.
00:30:33You been working here long?
00:30:36No, I took it over from my father.
00:30:38Yeah?
00:30:38I grew up in this house.
00:30:48God, I thought I told you that.
00:30:51No.
00:30:53But you don't really tell me anything.
00:30:54Well, when my parents died, I, um, I took over the estate.
00:31:02Are we sleeping in their bed?
00:31:04No, no.
00:31:05Absolutely not.
00:31:06Well, I mean, maybe the mattress pad.
00:31:08Oh, very sexy.
00:31:10Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to be sexy.
00:31:14Well, it would certainly help pass the time.
00:31:24Well, it would certainly be sexy.
00:31:54How was that?
00:32:00It didn't pass much time.
00:32:01I don't know.
00:32:24Are you sure you want this?
00:32:30Yeah, I'm sure.
00:32:37There's no pressure.
00:32:38You have to feel any kind of way.
00:32:39And if it hurts or anything...
00:32:40Yeah, thank you.
00:32:40I'll follow you, Lee.
00:32:47All right?
00:32:47You take control.
00:32:48Does that sound okay?
00:32:52I want you to take control.
00:32:53Good morning.
00:33:13Oh, 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.
00:33:29We 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?
00:33:44Well, I 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.
00:33:57And 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,
00:34:10and Jenny and Helga are harmless.
00:34:13Helga's coming?
00:34:14Yeah, she says she wanted to get to know you.
00:34:17She 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.
00:34:44Hmm.
00:34:45How 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.
00:34:57Can't 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.
00:35:04It'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.
00:35:26What'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.
00:35:42What event was it?
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.
00:36:07You 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.
00:36:30I know you have a lot to protect,
00:36:32and 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,
00:36:47and 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.
00:37:09You two moved in together so quick,
00:37:11I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.
00:37:14You can imagine my relief when I saw the negative pregnancy test.
00:37:21Pregnancy test?
00:37:24Were you going through my trash?
00:37:27Of course not, Alice.
00:37:28Be reasonable.
00:37:29I 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.
00:37:39Gideon, 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 them, Gideon.
00:37:59I asked him to keep it a surprise,
00:38:01but we're getting married.
00:38:04What?
00:38:07When is this happening?
00:38:10Um...
00:38:10Next 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.
00:38:39I 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 got to get prepared.
00:39:20You got to get a dress.
00:39:30I almost forgot.
00:39:31Need help?
00:39:50I think I got it.
00:39:52Please, let me help.
00:39:54It'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.
00:40:11I just mean there's nothing to be nervous about.
00:40:15I'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.
00:40:29It'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 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.
00:41:14Hey.
00:41:18Think about how happy Mom and Dad would be to see us right now.
00:41:20Two orphans all grown up.
00:41:27Why 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!
00:41:56Do you, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband, promising to love and cherish
00:42:05through joy and sorrow, through 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, take Alice to be your lawfully wedded wife, promising to love and cherish
00:42:22through joy and sorrow, sickness and health, and whatever challenges you may face as long
00:42:26as you both shall live?
00:42:28I do.
00:42:30Would you please exchange rings?
00:42:32By 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.
00:43:19You may kiss the bride.
00:43:23God, you are so beautiful.
00:43:32You have no idea how mad I am at you.
00:43:49You were incredible today.
00:43:53Have you ever even heard of a boundary?
00:43:57Come on, I've closed nine-figure deals on seven continents.
00:44:00Of course I've heard of boundaries.
00:44:03I 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?
00:44:20It'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.
00:44:35I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want.
00:44:41Tell 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 something.
00:45:04I'm just joking. Relax.
00:45:07It'll be fine.
00:45:10So 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.
00:45:34You 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.
00:46:25I'm a nervous wreck.
00:46:27It's going to be fine.
00:46:29You want to know how I know?
00:46:31How?
00:46:31Because I think you promised.
00:46:37I take these so seriously.
00:46:54Alice?
00:46:55Yes.
00:46:58How is he?
00:47:03Nico'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,
00:47:15and 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.
00:47:27I 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.
00:47:37I don't think he needs to be here any longer.
00:48:07Gideon?
00:48:15What are you doing?
00:48:28What are you doing?
00:48:28I want this to be Nico's room
00:48:38You don't have to do that
00:48:42It's a big house, there are plenty of rooms
00:48:45No
00:48:46I'm ready to move on
00:48:48To start over
00:48:50Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:48:58Krista, she was quite the artist
00:49:04Very famous
00:49:06I'm sure you've heard of her
00:49:08I'm absolutely sure I haven't
00:49:10What happened between you two?
00:49:14She lied
00:49:15She knew I wanted an heir
00:49:18She had me fall in love with her
00:49:21All the while knowing that she didn't want to become a mother
00:49:25Women have always lied
00:49:28Even when I was a kid
00:49:31They would lie
00:49:32Just to come to see my house
00:49:34And then as we grew up
00:49:36It became more about the gifts
00:49:38And the vacations
00:49:39My point is
00:49:41I'm used to it
00:49:43What made her different?
00:49:48She really had me fooled
00:49:49You know I had to pay her off
00:49:55Just to never see her again
00:49:56I was so
00:50:00Angry
00:50:02I didn't want to see anyone
00:50:05And that's when the rumors started
00:50:07Reclused billionaire
00:50:08Gideon Maslow
00:50:10Must be hard to hear people say that about you
00:50:14No, I didn't care what they said anymore
00:50:16You know, I had given up on love
00:50:18But I had never given up on an heir
00:50:21You know, I'm not gonna hurt you like she did
00:50:25You really can trust me
00:50:28Can I tell you a secret?
00:50:35I think I believe you
00:50:36I'm not going to hurt you much
00:50:41It's not that long
00:50:42What do you think?
00:50:45You know, we don't want to know
00:50:46You want to look at how the ŃŠ¾Š²ŠµŃ
00:50:49You be mistaken
00:50:54I might say
00:50:55I don't see anything
00:50:56I don't see anything
00:50:57I don't see all people
00:50:58You have to read
00:50:59To be continued...
00:51:29To be continued...
00:51:59To be continued...
00:52:29To be continued...
00:52:59To be continued...
00:53:29To be continued...
00:53:59Somewhere along the way, things changed.
00:54:01Okay, I...
00:54:02I 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 gonna work.
00:54:14Right?
00:54:14I thought that having a contract would finally take the complications out of everything, letting 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.
00:54:26You 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.
00:54:30And deep down, you know that I don't want to 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.
00:54:39You'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.
00:54:50And you're gonna end up with nothing.
00:54:52Oh, I didn't know you were here.
00:55:12I was gonna make the bed.
00:55:15Looks like you already did.
00:55:17Hmm, looks like I already did.
00:55:22I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:55:26I know you were really hoping she would be the one.
00:55:30But I guess she was just another one.
00:55:34It makes me question if I could be of assistance.
00:55:39Not 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.
00:55:50It would be my nightmare to learn that I've crossed some sort of boundary.
00:55:55But 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?
00:56:05You 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.
00:56:14Gideon, 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.
00:56:32No, she didn't confuse me.
00:56:51She colored me and shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:57:09It's never simple with you, is it?
00:57:11I 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?
00:57:29Falling in love.
00:57:30Okay.
00:57:38I am going to do something that is very unlike me and actually give a shit for a second.
00:57:50Gideon, 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.
00:57:59Through all the parties, all the success, and all the women, I've never seen you as happy as when you are with Alice.
00:58:12I 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, trust your heart.
00:58:26Do you really want to lose her?
00:58:29Is it really worth that?
00:58:36So 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.
00:59:01I need a sister.
00:59:02I love you so much.
00:59:08Can I tell you something?
00:59:09Always.
00:59:11I really loved him too.
00:59:13I love you.
00:59:35Hey.
