00:00:00When a mysterious billionaire asks you to marry him for a year and give him an heir, what do you say?
00:00:06He offered me 10 million dollars. I needed the money to pay for my little brother's heart surgery.
00:00:13I couldn't say no.
00:00:14So, I moved into his mansion, and slowly, I got to know him.
00:00:19His likes, his dislikes, his smile, those lips.
00:00:24The man behind the 6'5 perfect body. The heart he liked to pretend he didn't have.
00:00:30And eventually, I started to realize, I wanted this baby, and the strange little family we'd become.
00:00:38I wanted him.
00:00:40But my year with Gideon Maslow was coming to an end.
00:00:43Was it possible he felt the same way?
00:01:00Why 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?
00:01:34That means, I only want to think about you.
00:01:46My little dove.
00:01:47So, 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.
00:02:22Did you bring everything I asked for?
00:02:23Oh, yes. Medical records, blood work, it's all there.
00:02:26Everything seems to be in order.
00:02:31You're young, you're healthy.
00:02:33I can already think of several clients who would love you.
00:02:36Oh, that's great. It's a huge relief, honestly.
00:02:39Oh, but...
00:02:40Honey, 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.
00:02:50It 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.
00:02:58Egg donation is still a beautiful way to help bring new life into the world.
00:03:02Let me get you a pamphlet.
00:03:34Hey, 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.
00:03:45I'm supposed to start college in three months.
00:03:47And instead, I'm here...
00:03:48Rotting. On a couch.
00:03:51You just have to take things easy until we...
00:03:53I know, I know.
00:03:58By the way, um...
00:04:00Have you heard of someone named Gideon Maslow?
00:04:04Yeah, of course.
00:04:05He's the CEO of Maslow Enterprises.
00:04:07He's a billionaire.
00:04:09Why?
00:04:11Just saw the name somewhere.
00:04:17Who is this?
00:04:18Hi, uh...
00:04:20This is Alice Gardner.
00:04:22The Parkside Surrogacy Agency referred me.
00:04:25Okay.
00:04:26I'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.
00:04:41I'll text you my...
00:04:42Can I help you?
00:05:00Can I help you?
00:05:12Hi.
00:05:13Yes, 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?
00:05:22I wasn't sure.
00:05:24Ill-fitting jackets?
00:05:31Alice.
00:05:33I see you met my house manager, Helga.
00:05:40Follow 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.
00:06:07Or 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.
00:06:19Jeez.
00:06:20I get it.
00:06:20You could have just asked me to pinky promise.
00:06:25I take those very seriously.
00:06:28Alright.
00:06:29Let's get down to business.
00:06:32I 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.
00:06:44And give birth to my heir.
00:06:48I'm sorry.
00:06:49What?
00:06:52Oh.
00:06:54You're one of those billionaires.
00:06:57Freaky psychopath.
00:06:58Well, the marriage would be a temporary situation.
00:07:01After 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.
00:07:08You'll retain visitation rights.
00:07:10But the marriage has to appear real for at least one year.
00:07:13Why?
00:07:13If I want my heir to eventually take over the company, he has to maintain my family's pristine
00:07:20reputation.
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.
00:07:32Like, how tall are you?
00:07:33Why 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?
00:07:44Who said anything about sex?
00:07:46I 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, not to have a child with you.
00:08:16Ten million dollars.
00:08:18Ten million dollars.
00:08:27Ten 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.
00:08:44You've found me, Mrs. Gideon Maslow.
00:08:47You really like the sound of 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, the less chance he has at making a full recovery.
00:09:05So why don't you ask your parents for the money?
00:09:09It's not an option.
00:09:12Look, I'll be the best fake wife you've ever had, okay?
00:09:15Please?
00:09:20Please?
00:09:25Alright.
00:09:27We'll call it highly motivated.
00:09:29I like that in a business partner.
00:09:31You're hired.
00:09:32I promise you, it's all quite standard.
00:09:40Yes, 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, and all your day-to-day expenses will be taken care of.
00:09:52I have to live with you?
00:09:54I told you, the relationship has to appear real.
00:09:56Well, then Nico needs to live here, too.
00:10:01My brother can't be alone.
00:10:06Alright.
00:10:12Now what?
00:10:13Why aren't you signing?
00:10:15I want you to meet him first.
00:10:17I'll send a car.
00:10:18No, no, I can't have him leave the house.
00:10:20Is he a kid or is he a dog?
00:10:23He's sick, Gideon.
00:10:25Alright, 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, so I asked her to keep our romance quiet, I hope.
00:10:45Well, I hope you can forgive me.
00:10:47Yeah, I think I can forgive anyone with a house this big.
00:10:50Don'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, Kieran.
00:11:17It's good to meet you.
00:11:19Jenny.
00:11:19Hi.
00:11:22And you are?
00:11:24Oh, I'm his girlfriend.
00:11:27So you two have been dating how long?
00:11:39I 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.
00:11:51Hey, how about we take a walk outside, take a walk around the grounds.
00:11:54It's a beautiful day today.
00:11:55But 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 Karen and Jenny have kids?
00:12:08They've been trying for some years, but, I mean, it's a sensitive topic.
00:12:12Sorry to hear that.
00:12:14Somebody's got to carry on the Maslow name.
00:12:18I'll give him my best shot.
00:12:22Alice?
00:12:23No, I'm good.
00:12:24Nico?
00:12:24Uh, your brother!
00:12:28Nico, no!
00:12:38His 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.
00:12:45Oh, my God.
00:12:56I am so sorry.
00:12:58I, 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.
00:13:07We'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.
00:13:14Alice!
00:13:23It's good that he's getting some rest.
00:13:27What did the lab say?
00:13:28His 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.
00:13:41You want him to live here full time?
00:13:43Well, make sure that he's very comfortable.
00:13:46And you can visit him whenever you like.
00:13:48Have you been able to figure out a payment plan?
00:13:55I've brokered a deal with the devil.
00:13:59Just have to sign it.
00:14:06I thought I'd never see you again.
00:14:08Do you have a pen?
00:14:09Helga will be overseeing your transition into the house.
00:14:19Welcome to the Maslow Estate.
00:14:21Must be exciting.
00:14:24Our bedroom is over there.
00:14:27It'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.
00:14:39Hey, 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?
00:14:54I do.
00:15:07Helga, 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.
00:15:19You must do a really great job as house manager.
00:15:21I mean, he never wants to leave this place.
00:15:26Gideon is a very complicated and brilliant man.
00:15:30I'm sure he is.
00:15:32I've stood by him through great joy and great sorrow.
00:15:36That's nice.
00:15:37And 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.
00:15:49I thought you'd be asleep.
00:16:08Restless, I guess.
00:16:11So how was your first day at the house?
00:16:13I 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.
00:16:25You 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.
00:16:39Are you going to come with me?
00:16:40I sent my sample to the doctor already.
00:16:42So he's just going to insert her into you.
00:16:46How romantic.
00:16:47How romantic.
00:16:47You know, I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:48I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:50I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:52I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:53I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:54I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:55I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:56I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:57I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:58I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:59I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:17:00I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:17:01I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:17:02I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:17:03I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:17:04I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:17:05I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:18:36Ms. Cardinal, this room is off limits to guests.
00:18:46I'm not a guest.
00:18:48You 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.
00:19:25Exactly. Who needs friends when you have your sister's old books?
00:19:28Ha. Funny.
00:19:30Really, 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?
00:19:49Having 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.
00:20:03Well, I take tips.
00:20:05I'm a little strapped for cash at the moment.
00:20:07Saving up for a big surgery.
00:20:10Speaking of, we were able to set a date.
00:20:12The nurse will go over everything with you, but we're looking pretty good.
00:20:19Niko'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.
00:20:59Sound 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.
00:21:14Well, when you tell me something is off limits, I'm gonna assume the worst.
00:21:18You are so stubborn.
00:21:20You 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".
00:21:29No.
00:21:30I'm-I'm 6'5".
00:21:31Come on, Gideon.
00:21:33You can trust me.
00:21:36Who is she?
00:21:36The woman in the painting.
00:21:37She's the reason why I won't trust you, or any other woman for that matter.
00:21:44She's the reason why I won't trust you, or any other woman for that matter.
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?
00:22:26That means I only want to think about you, my little dove.
00:22:40What the-
00:22:59What the-
00:23:00Hey!
00:23:22Hey.
00:23:26Hello.
00:23:27Crazy how we live in the same house,
00:23:29and I can still go days without seeing you.
00:23:32Big house.
00:23:33Gets lonely.
00:23:35Pancakes?
00:23:37Pancakes.
00:23:38Want some?
00:23:39No, I'm more of a waffle man.
00:23:41You know, there's more surface area for the syrup.
00:23:44Here.
00:23:45Try one.
00:23:46It's good.
00:23:47I promise.
00:23:52It's my secret recipe.
00:24:05It's good, right?
00:24:07It's good.
00:24:08It's really good.
00:24:09You're not gonna have any?
00:24:11No, I had the craziest craving for them this morning,
00:24:13but now my stomach feels all weird.
00:24:16Alice.
00:24:18Hm.
00:24:22You think?
00:24:24Do you have a test?
00:24:35What's it say?
00:24:38Negative.
00:24:39Damn.
00:24:41I really thought it would work.
00:24:43I'll get a better doctor.
00:24:44You know, maybe we need to do an egg retrieval first,
00:24:47create an embryo,
00:24:49and plant it back into you.
00:24:51That could take months.
00:24:52But you signed the contract.
00:24:54You knew you were in this for the long haul.
00:24:56Oh, I know.
00:24:57I'm just bummed that it didn't work.
00:25:01Oh.
00:25:02Yeah.
00:25:03Oh.
00:25:04Me too.
00:25:06Me too.
00:25:19You know,
00:25:20there are other ways I could get pregnant
00:25:22that involves less needles and plastic cups and hospital gowns.
00:25:27Oh, yeah?
00:25:29Birds do it.
00:25:30Bees do it.
00:25:31I mean...
00:25:34Why can't we do it?
00:25:39No, Alice.
00:25:40I'm not paying you to have sex with me.
00:25:42I know, but you are paying me to have a child with you,
00:25:44and this could really increase our chances.
00:25:47No, Alice.
00:25:48Sex, it complicates things.
00:25:50Of course it does, when feelings are involved.
00:25:53But we are two business partners with a goal,
00:25:56and sex could be the solution.
00:26:00Aren't you a little bit curious?
00:26:03Yeah, I'm curious.
00:26:06I know you don't trust women or whatever,
00:26:08but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have any pleasure.
00:26:12And you must find me a little attractive.
00:26:16I mean,
00:26:17you want your heir to have half of my genes.
00:26:20You sure that's what you really want to do?
00:26:24I'm sure.
00:26:30There's just one thing you should know.
00:26:32Yeah?
00:26:33What is it?
00:26:36I'm a virgin.
00:26:40What?
00:26:42How?
00:26:43Our parents died when I was 17.
00:26:45I didn't have time to date if I wasn't working
00:26:48or I was with Nico.
00:26:49So you haven't been on one date?
00:26:53Men have asked me out, yeah.
00:26:54But they didn't understand why I couldn't leave my brother,
00:26:57and I didn't want to bring strangers back to our apartment.
00:27:01Look, this is the first time in my life
00:27:04where I haven't been worried about money.
00:27:07About how I'm going to pay rent,
00:27:08how I'm going to pay Nico's next medical bill.
00:27:11For once in my life,
00:27:12I can finally think about what I might want.
00:27:16What I might...
00:27:18desire.
00:27:19So you were going to have my baby,
00:27:21and you've never had sex before?
00:27:23I know.
00:27:24I'm a saint.
00:27:26The Virgin Mary.
00:27:27What, does this void the deal?
00:27:36I should have told you.
00:27:37Yes.
00:27:38You should have told me.
00:27:43Hey, where are you going?
00:27:44I, uh...
00:27:49I have to think.
00:27:57Hello, brother.
00:27:59It's unlike you to have me over on a work day.
00:28:01I have a problem.
00:28:04Alice.
00:28:06Oh!
00:28:07A mystery girlfriend.
00:28:08Yeah, she's a, uh...
00:28:11A virgin.
00:28:16There's a twist.
00:28:17Ahem.
00:28:20I'm very surprised.
00:28:21She's quite pretty.
00:28:24It's just a little more responsibility
00:28:27than I was prepared for.
00:28:29I know it's been a while since you've been with anyone,
00:28:32but I'm sure you remember how to do it.
00:28:35In fact, if I remember correctly,
00:28:36Ginny Mills was a virgin,
00:28:37and he slept with her.
00:28:39So was I, and we were 16.
00:28:42Just take it slow.
00:28:43Right?
00:28:44Come on.
00:28:45Let's wind a diner.
00:28:48Ah, Gideon.
00:28:52You're gonna have to behave like a gentleman.
00:28:57What will you do?
00:29:07Hey.
00:29:08Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:29:09What are you doing?
00:29:10No, 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.
00:29:15Every time someone finds out,
00:29:16they look at me different.
00:29:17Like, like I'm something fragile.
00:29:18They're afraid of breaking.
00:29:19No.
00:29:20Hey, please don't tell me
00:29:21what's going on in my own mind.
00:29:24Look me in the eyes
00:29:25and tell me you didn't change your opinion of me.
00:29:28No, truthfully, I don't know.
00:29:29I don't know how I,
00:29:30I don't know how I feel about it.
00:29:31I mean, it was certainly surprising.
00:29:33Bullshit.
00:29:34Alice?
00:29:36Just slow down.
00:29:37Okay?
00:29:38Is that fair?
00:29:39Fair?
00:29:40How about I take you for a drink?
00:29:41I thought you don't leave the house.
00:29:54Secret bar.
00:29:55Very James Bond.
00:29:56Yeah, I don't think it's such a, a bad thing.
00:30:09Not you being a virgin and all.
00:30:10I think that it points to some level of discipline.
00:30:13Can we talk about something else?
00:30:18It's been a while since I've been on a date.
00:30:21I'm a bit rusty.
00:30:24So what do you do locked away here all the time?
00:30:27Dress up in costumes and fight crime?
00:30:31Well, it helps to have a full bar next to the living room.
00:30:34So you really never leave?
00:30:38Never.
00:30:39Not even on a drive?
00:30:40Not even on a drive.
00:30:44Wild.
00:30:46There are benefits though.
00:30:48Like?
00:30:52I don't normally tell people this,
00:30:54but I make the greatest martini in the entire world.
00:31:00Oh yeah?
00:31:02Prove it.
00:31:10Well, 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.
00:31:28But I'm from Iowa and we know drinking.
00:31:30Thank you, bartender.
00:31:33So what brings you to this bar so late at night?
00:31:41Well, you know, I was supposed to meet someone here.
00:31:45Is he a good looking guy?
00:31:47Well, he certainly seems to think so.
00:31:50You've been working here long?
00:31:53No, I took it over for my father.
00:31:56Yeah?
00:31:58Yeah.
00:32:00I grew up in this house.
00:32:04God, I thought I told you that.
00:32:06No.
00:32:08But you don't really tell me anything.
00:32:11Well, when my parents died, I took over the estate.
00:32:15Are we sleeping in their bed?
00:32:17No, no.
00:32:19Absolutely not.
00:32:20Well, I mean, maybe the mattress bed.
00:32:21Very sexy.
00:32:22Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to be sexy.
00:32:25Well, it would certainly help pass the time.
00:32:51How was that?
00:33:18It didn't pass.
00:33:19It didn't pass much time.
00:33:50Are you sure you want this?
00:33:51I'm sure.
00:33:58There's no pressure to feel any kind of way.
00:34:00And if it hurts or anything.
00:34:01Yeah, thanks.
00:34:07I'll follow you.
00:34:08Alright?
00:34:09You take control.
00:34:10Does that sound okay?
00:34:13I want you to take control.
00:34:19Good morning.
00:34:31Oh, hey.
00:34:32Good morning.
00:34:33Good morning.
00:34:35Oh, hey, good morning.
00:34:39You feeling okay?
00:34:41Yeah.
00:34:43That was good, right?
00:34:47Oh, yeah.
00:34:49It was really good.
00:34:53We could have another drink tonight?
00:34:56I actually forgot to tell you.
00:34:58We're gonna have dinner with Karen and Jenny tonight.
00:35:00Dinner?
00:35:02Okay, but why?
00:35:06Well, I mean, we have to seem like a big happy family.
00:35:09If we're getting divorced in a year, we don't have to appear that happy.
00:35:12Well, no, I mean, we can't have any cracks in our story.
00:35:15I love my brother, but, I mean, 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 gonna get grilled, we should be on the same page.
00:35:26Sure, we could practice.
00:35:29I mean, our brother isn't exactly Columbo, and Jenny and Helga are harmless.
00:35:35Helga'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.
00:35:49Soup's almost ready. Just another few minutes.
00:35:51Thank you, Helga.
00:35:55It'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.
00:36:04How do you eat, Alice?
00:36:09You want me to spoil the surprise?
00:36:13I'll tell you how I eat.
00:36:14Until I'm full.
00:36:17Can attest to that.
00:36:20So tell us, how did you and Gideon meet?
00:36:23And the questions begin before you even have our 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,
00:36:45and 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,
00:36:59about how later that night you accidentally tripped me.
00:37:02Oh, and then she dropped her champagne glass.
00:37:10What event was it?
00:37:12Hmm?
00:37:13What charity event was it?
00:37:20The 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.
00:37:41Why?
00:37:42Am I not high-class enough?
00:37:45I didn't mean that.
00:37:46No, it's okay.
00:37:47I get it.
00:37:48I would be worried too,
00:37:49if I thought someone was trying to take advantage of my family.
00:37:53I know you have a lot to protect,
00:37:55and 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,
00:38:09we know the truth and we trust each other.
00:38:12We trust each other.
00:38:20You really are a special girl.
00:38:23I had my doubts, of course.
00:38:25I couldn't be sure of your intentions.
00:38:27Especially with the way you walked in that first day.
00:38:30Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
00:38:32You two moved in together so quick,
00:38:35I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.
00:38:38You can imagine my relief when I saw the negative pregnancy test.
00:38:44Pregnancy test?
00:38:48Were you going through my trash?
00:38:50Of course not, Alice.
00:38:52Be reasonable.
00:38:54I was cleaning up the mess you made in your bathroom
00:38:56and didn't know what I was looking at until it was too late.
00:38:59Are you trying to get pregnant?
00:39:00Of course not, Kieran.
00:39:01But accidents happen.
00:39:02We are trying.
00:39:07Gideon, you don't think it's a little rushed?
00:39:11Of course it's rushed.
00:39:12No.
00:39:13It's not.
00:39:14And how is that?
00:39:15Because we...
00:39:20It's okay.
00:39:21You can tell if I'm Gideon.
00:39:23I asked him to keep it a surprise,
00:39:25but we're getting married.
00:39:28What?
00:39:31When is this happening?
00:39:32Um...
00:39:34Next week.
00:39:38And you're sure this is something you want to do?
00:39:45I'm positive.
00:39:46Well, in that case...
00:39:53Welcome to the family, Alice.
00:39:58Soup's on!
00:40:02I'm sorry. I told everyone we're getting married.
00:40:05I panicked.
00:40:06They were gonna find out sooner or later.
00:40:08You know, now we need to pull together a quick wedding.
00:40:11Sounds easy enough.
00:40:13Oh.
00:40:14We gotta get Nico cleared for a couple hours from the hospital.
00:40:17Why?
00:40:19Don't you want your brother there?
00:40:21How would that help the plan?
00:40:25No, I mean...
00:40:27Don'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.
00:40:40Um...
00:40:42I gotta get a...prepared...
00:40:44You gotta get a dress.
00:40:45I almost forgot.
00:41:13Need help?
00:41:15I think I got it.
00:41:17Please, let me help.
00:41:18It's what I'm here for.
00:41:23Are you nervous?
00:41:25Why would I be nervous?
00:41:26It's your wedding day.
00:41:28Right.
00:41:30I'm actually fine.
00:41:32Gideon's a great guy.
00:41:34I'm aware.
00:41:36I just mean there's nothing to be nervous about.
00:41:39I'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.
00:41:48The ceremony's starting soon and...
00:41:50I want to make sure you have a great view.
00:41:51It's bad luck to see each other before the wedding.
00:41:58I know.
00:41:59I think I can afford it.
00:42:00Why's that?
00:42:01Hold on one second.
00:42:02I got a surprise for you.
00:42:03Congratulations.
00:42:04What are you doing here?
00:42:05It's your big day.
00:42:06We thought we'd surprise you.
00:42:07We?
00:42:08Me and Gideon.
00:42:09Hey.
00:42:10Hey.
00:42:11Hey.
00:42:12Hey.
00:42:13Hey.
00:42:14Hey.
00:42:15Hey.
00:42:16It's your big day.
00:42:17We thought we'd surprise you.
00:42:18We?
00:42:19Me and Gideon.
00:42:21Hey.
00:42:22Hey, hey.
00:42:24Hey.
00:42:25Hey.
00:42:26Hey.
00:42:27Hey.
00:42:28Hey.
00:42:30Hey.
00:42:31Hey, hey.
00:42:33Hey.
00:42:34Hey.
00:42:35Hey.
00:42:36Hey.
00:42:37Hey, hey, hey
00:42:42Think about how happy mom and dad would be to see us right now
00:42:46Two orphans all grown up
00:42:52Did you get so old
00:42:56We both got old way too young I
00:43:00Love that you're here, okay, but nothing is worth risking your health
00:43:04You're all I got you know that
00:43:09Not anymore
00:43:14You're sure you're okay to sit through the whole ceremony. Oh, yeah, definitely good enough to have a few drinks later. Let's get you wifed
00:43:24You Alice take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband
00:43:27Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow through sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face as long as you both shall live
00:43:38I do
00:43:41And do you Gideon take Alice to be your lawfully wedded wife
00:43:45Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face as long as you both shall live
00:43:52I do
00:43:55Would you please exchange rings?
00:43:57Please
00:44:15By the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride
00:44:27Thank you
00:44:52God you're so beautiful
00:44:57You have no idea how mad I am at you
00:45:15You were incredible today
00:45:19Have you ever even heard of a boundary
00:45:21Come on. I've closed nine figure deals on seven continents. Of course, I've heard of boundaries
00:45:29I just I don't know. I thought you I thought you'd be more appreciative
00:45:33How you totally ignored what I said
00:45:37Because it wasn't what you wanted
00:45:38What I want is for Nico to be healthy for his surgery
00:45:42You 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
00:45:49He's gonna get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow. You're not his father. You're not his mother
00:45:58Alice no, I don't want to see you
00:46:02I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want
00:46:06Tell her we're fighting no Alice
00:46:19Today's the day
00:46:21Today's the day
00:46:23First day of the rest of my life
00:46:26Or the last we'll see
00:46:28God I hate when you say stuff like that
00:46:30I'm just joking relax
00:46:33It'll be fine
00:46:36So where's your husband?
00:46:38You know he doesn't leave the house much
00:46:41Or at all apparently
00:46:42I was hoping he'd be with you
00:46:47Well don't worry about me
00:46:49The doctor is going to take you to the operating room soon
00:46:51And I will be here the whole time
00:46:54I know you will be
00:46:56I need to take you to the outside
00:46:57You know, the room's so good
00:46:57Great
00:46:58I need to take you to the outside
00:47:02Thank you
00:47:03Gideon
00:47:15You left the house
00:47:16It was getting stuffy in there
00:47:19I left the house
00:47:21It was getting stuffy in there
00:47:22You left the house it was getting stuffy in there
00:47:28What are you doing here I just I really want to be here with you
00:47:32I'm a nervous wreck he's gonna be fine. You want to know how I know how because I think you promise
00:48:02I
00:48:04Take these so seriously
00:48:21Alice
00:48:24Yes, how is he
00:48:26Niko surgery was a huge success
00:48:34They'll bring him in here in just a moment
00:48:36Okay, so everything went well better than we could have hoped for we'll keep him for two more days and then he'll be free to go home
00:48:43Two days is that enough time? I want him to have around-the-clock medical care. What if there are complications?
00:48:51We don't foresee any complications
00:48:53Money's not gonna be a concern. Whatever it takes is fine
00:48:57Money's not a concern for us either. The thing is I don't think he needs to be here any longer
00:49:02He'll make a speedy recovery
00:49:14No, but I mean this is incredible
00:49:16What?
00:49:18What?
00:49:20Yes, I'm sorry
00:49:22Gideon
00:49:38Gideon?
00:49:40What are you doing?
00:49:54What are you doing?
00:50:04I want this to be Nico's room
00:50:08You don't have to do that. It's a big house. There are plenty of rooms
00:50:12No
00:50:14I'm ready to move on
00:50:16To start over
00:50:18Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:50:29Krista
00:50:30She was quite the artist
00:50:32Very famous
00:50:34I'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
00:50:43She 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
00:50:54Women have always lied
00:50:56Even when I was a kid
00:50:58They would lie
00:51:00Just to come to see my house
00:51:02And then as we grew up
00:51:04It became more about the gifts
00:51:06And the vacations
00:51:08My point is
00:51:10I'm used to it
00:51:12What made her different?
00:51:14She really had me fooled
00:51:22You know I had to pay her off
00:51:24Just to never see her again?
00:51:26I was so
00:51:30Angry
00:51:32I didn't want to see anyone
00:51:34And that's when the rumors started
00:51:36Reclused billionaire
00:51:37Gideon Maslow
00:51:38Must be hard to hear people say that about you
00:51:42No I didn't care what they said anymore
00:51:44You know I had given up on love
00:51:46But I had never given up on an heir
00:51:48You know I'm not gonna hurt you like she did
00:51:52You really can trust me
00:51:54Can I tell you a secret?
00:51:56I think I believe you
00:52:04I think I believe you
00:52:06Catching you
00:52:10That's true
00:52:12That's true
00:52:13That's true
00:52:14And I love it
00:52:15You know
00:52:16I'm not gonna look up
00:52:18You know
00:52:19I'm not gonna look up
00:52:20You know
00:52:21I don't need to come up
00:52:22Now I know
00:52:23I'm gonna look up
00:52:24You know
00:52:25You're gonna get me
00:52:27Transcribed by ESO, translated by —
00:54:27That's strange. I didn't call you.
00:54:30Really? I wondered why we never heard from you.
00:54:34We're nearly ready to send you some options.
00:54:38No, I'm... I'm very pleased with the one that you referred.
00:54:43Mr. Maslow, we never referred anyone.
00:54:45Wait, what do you mean? I'm working with Alice Gardner.
00:54:52Who's Alice Gardner?
00:54:53Is everything okay?
00:55:03I just got off the phone with, uh, Brenda. Parkside 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.
00:55:18You 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. I'm no different than her.
00:55:26I lied to get close to you, and 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.
00:55:44But I thought that having a contract would 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.
00:55:55You don't want an heir, Gideon.
00:55:57You want a child.
00:55:58You want to be a dad and to have a family.
00:56:00And deep down, you know that I 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, and you're going to end up with nothing.
00:56:37Oh, I didn't know you were here.
00:56:43I was going to make the bed.
00:56:47Looks like you already did.
00:56:50Looks like I already did.
00:56:51I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:56:58I 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.
00:57:11Not unless you can give me an heir.
00:57:12That'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.
00:57:26But 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?
00:57:36Gideon, you 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.
00:57:48Gideon, 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.
00:58:06No, she didn't confuse me.
00:58:26She colored me in.
00:58:29Shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:58:36It'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?
00:59:00Falling in love.
00:59:09Okay.
00:59:12I am going to do something that is very unlike me and actually give a shit for a second.
00:59:20Gideon, 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.
00:59:33Through 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.
00:59:50Everything was built on a lie.
00:59:53But if you're going to trust something, trust your heart.
00:59:59Do you really want to lose her?
01:00:01Is it really worth that?
01:00:11So it was never real?
01:00:14It wasn't.
01:00:17Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:19I didn't think you'd understand.
01:00:21You try to protect me way too much, Alice.
01:00:23That's my job.
01:00:25And 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.
01:00:47I really loved him too.
01:00:58Hey.
01:01:13Hey.
01:01:15Hi.
01:01:20Well, I'm going to go to my room.
01:01:22Be nice.
01:01:23I'm sorry for lying to you.
01:01:29No, I'm sorry for giving it all up and wanting to throw it all away.
01:01:34That's not what you do, you know, when you love someone.
01:01:40I love you, Alice.
01:01:44I love you, Gideon.
01:01:46I want to be with you and I want a family with you.
01:01:50That's what I want.
01:01:51I want you forever.
01:02:03What is that?
01:02:04I felt a bit weird this morning, so I thought I'd check.
