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 dollars. I needed the money to pay for my
00:00:10little brother's heart surgery. I couldn't say no. So I moved into his mansion and slowly
00:00:17I got to know him. His likes, his dislikes, his smile, those lips. The man behind the six foot
00:00:25five perfect body. The heart he liked to pretend he didn't have. And eventually I started to realize
00:00:33I wanted this baby and the strange little family we'd become. I wanted him. But my year with Gideon
00:00:40Maslow was coming to an end. Was it possible he felt the same way?
00:00:55Why 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. My little dove.
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.
00:02:56Oh, sweetheart, egg donation is still a beautiful way to help bring new life into the world.
00:03:02Let me get you a pamphlet.
00:03:33Hey, 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.
00:03:58By the way, have you 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?
00:04:11Just saw the name somewhere.
00:04:17Who is this?
00:04:18Hi, this is Alice Gardner.
00:04:21The 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, I'll text you my...
00:04:42Can 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?
00:05:23I wasn't sure.
00:05:25Ill-fitting jackets.
00:05:31Alice, I see you met my house manager, Helga.
00:05:35Follow 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.
00:06:01Anything 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.
00:06:27Alright.
00:06:29Let'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 and give birth to my heir.
00:06:48I'm sorry.
00:06:50What?
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.
00:07:00After the birth of my son.
00:07:02Your son?
00:07:03Or whatever.
00:07:04After the birth of my heir.
00:07:05We'll divorce.
00:07:07He'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.
00:07:31How 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.
00:07:49No, we would take the medical approach.
00:07:51This is a business proposition, not a romantic one.
00:07:54These 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...
00:08:23Ten 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.
00:08:43You've found me, Mrs. Gideon Maslow.
00:08:48You really like the sound of all that money, don't you?
00:08:51No, I don't like it.
00:08:53I need it.
00:08:57My 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?
00:09:08It's not an option.
00:09:12Look, I'll be the best fake wife you've ever had, okay?
00:09:16Please?
00:09:20Please?
00:09:25All 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.
00:09:40Yes, 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.
00:09:59Well, then Nico needs to live here, too.
00:10:01My brother can't be alone.
00:10:05All right.
00:10:06All right.
00:10:06All right.
00:10:06All right.
00:10:06All right.
00:10:10Now what?
00:10:13Why aren't you signing?
00:10:15I want you to meet him first.
00:10:16Well, send a car.
00:10:18No, no.
00:10:18I can't have him leave the house.
00:10:20Is he a kid or is he a dog?
00:10:23He's sick, Gideon.
00:10:25All right.
00:10:25Well, I don't leave the estate.
00:10:26So if you want me to meet him, you'll bring him here.
00:10:28Alice 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.
00:10:46Yeah, I think I can forgive anyone with a house this big.
00:10:50Don't get too excited.
00:10:51Your 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.
00:11:58Today.
00:11:59But you think that, like, maybe there will 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.
00:12:12Sorry to hear that.
00:12:13Somebody's got to carry on the Maslow name.
00:12:18I'll give him my best shot.
00:12:22Alice?
00:12:22No, I'm good.
00:12:24Nico?
00:12:26Your brother!
00:12:28Nico, no!
00:12:28No!
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.
00:12:50Oh, my God.
00:12:56I am so sorry.
00:12:56I, I, 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.
00:13:08Hayden, 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.
00:13:41You 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.
00:14:21It must 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.
00:14:54I 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.
00:15:18He 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 all the time, keeping 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.
00:16:22Yeah, 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.
00:16:47So fucking hearted.
00:16:54I think I'm to wait to me.
00:16:58Yeah, I think.
00:16:59And sometimes I'm going to take a moment.
00:17:00Nothing.
00:17:03Absolutely.
00:17:04I know how many
00:17:05are you.
00:17:06I know how many of my ideas are coming to me today.
00:17:09Obviously, it's not a lot, but it's a lot.
00:17:10But I'm going to start with you,
00:17:12but it físico.
00:17:12I look like I'm going to play along.
00:17:13I don't know.
00:17:43I don't know.
00:18:13I don't know.
00:18:43This room is off limits to guests.
00:18:46I'm not a guest.
00:18:53You heard Mr. Maslow.
00:19:13Oh, thank you.
00:19:20You know, I've become such a fast reader these last few weeks.
00:19:22See?
00:19:23Perks of taking it easy.
00:19:24Exactly.
00:19:25Who needs friends when you have your sister's old books?
00:19:28Ha.
00:19:29Funny.
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.
00:19:47How is this real life?
00:19:49Having your priorities straight?
00:19:52Compromising on joy because it's what you have to do?
00:19:55It 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.
00:20:15The nurse will go over everything with you, but we're looking pretty good.
00:20:19Nico's on the up and up.
00:20:34So Helga told me you went snooping.
00:20:38What 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 folk tale 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?
00:21:09There's easier ways of doing that, and much more fun ones.
00:21:13Well, 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".
00:21:29Oh, I'm-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's reign is shot.
00:21:47No way.
00:21:49Ooh, come on.
00:21:51You can trust me.
00:21:51Next lady, the woman in the tiger, and the cat-
00:21:56I didn't suggest the cat-
00:21:57but the little cat-
00:21:59I didn't feel terrible.
00:22:01Or my 남자メ's growl.
00:22:03Who is she?
00:22:04Where is she?
00:22:05Why 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.
00:22:56What the?
00:23:25Hey.
00:23:27Hello.
00:23:28Crazy how we live in the same house and I can still go days without seeing you.
00:23:32Big house.
00:23:34Gets lonely.
00:23:36Pancakes?
00:23:37Pancakes.
00:23:39Want 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, try one.
00:23:46It's good.
00:23:47I promise.
00:23:53It's my secret recipe.
00:23:54It's good, right?
00:24:06It's good.
00:24:08It's really good.
00:24:09You're not going to have it?
00:24:10No, I had the craziest craving for them this morning, but now my stomach feels a little weird.
00:24:16Alice.
00:24:16You think?
00:24:24Do you have a test?
00:24:25What's it say?
00:24:38Negative.
00:24:39Damn.
00:24:40I 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.
00:24:50That 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.
00:25:04No.
00:25:05Me too.
00:25:06You know, there are other ways I could get pregnant that 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, why can't we do it?
00:25:36No, Alice, I'm not paying you to have sex with me.
00:25:42I know, but you are paying me to have a child with you, and this could really increase our chances.
00:25:47No, Alice, sex, it complicates things.
00:25:50Of course it does, when feelings are involved.
00:25:53But we are two business partners with a goal, and sex could be the solution.
00:26:00Aren't you a little bit curious?
00:26:04I'm curious.
00:26:05I know you don't trust women, or whatever, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have any pleasure.
00:26:13And you must find me a little attractive.
00:26:16I mean, you 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.
00:26:24There's just one thing you should know.
00:26:32Yeah?
00:26:33What is it?
00:26:35I'm a virgin.
00:26:40What?
00:26:41How?
00:26:43Our parents died when I was 17.
00:26:45I didn't have time to date.
00:26:47If I wasn't working, I was with Nico.
00:26:49So you haven't been on one date?
00:26:52Men have asked me out, yeah.
00:26:54But they didn't understand why I couldn't leave my brother, and I didn't want to bring
00:26:58strangers back to our apartment.
00:26:59Look, 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.
00:27:24I'm a saint.
00:27:25The Virgin Mary.
00:27:31What?
00:27:31Does this void the deal?
00:27:36I should have told you.
00:27:37Yes.
00:27:38You should have told me.
00:27:43Where are you going?
00:27:46I, uh...
00:27:48I 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.
00:28:06A mystery girlfriend.
00:28:08Yeah, she's a, uh...
00:28:10Uh, a virgin.
00:28:15There's a twist.
00:28:16Mm-hmm.
00:28:18I'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, Ginny Mills was a virgin, and he slept with her.
00:28:39So was I, and we were 16.
00:28:42Let's take it slow.
00:28:43Right?
00:28:43Come on.
00:28:45Come on.
00:28:45Come on.
00:28:45Come on.
00:28:45Come on.
00:28:45Let's wine a diner.
00:28:47Ah, Gideon.
00:28:52You're gonna have to behave like a gentleman.
00:28:57What will you do?
00:28:58Hey, hey, 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.
00:29:15Every time someone finds out, they look at me different.
00:29:17Like, like I'm something fragile.
00:29:18They're afraid of breaking.
00:29:19No.
00:29:19Hey, please don't tell me what's going on in my own mind.
00:29:23Look 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.
00:29:33Bullshit.
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?
00:29:50I thought you don't leave the house.
00:29:58Secret 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?
00:30:18It's been a while since I've been on a date.
00:30:20I'm a bit rusty.
00:30:23So what do you do locked away here all the time?
00:30:27Dress 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.
00:30:44Wild.
00:30:44There are benefits, though.
00:30:48Like?
00:30:51I 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.
00:31:03Well, I'll give it to you.
00:31:21That is a damn good drink.
00:31:23Have you ever even had a martini?
00:31:25No.
00:31:26But I'm from Iowa, and 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, I was supposed to meet someone here.
00:31:45Was he a good-looking guy?
00:31:46Well, he certainly seems to think so.
00:31:51You been working here long?
00:31:54No, 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.
00:32:11But you don't really tell me anything.
00:32:12Well, when my parents died, I took over the estate.
00:32:20Are we sleeping in their bed?
00:32:22No.
00:32:22No.
00:32:23Absolutely not.
00:32:24Well, I mean, maybe the mattress pad.
00:32:26Oh.
00:32:27Very sexy.
00:32:28Oh, I didn't know how it was supposed to be sexy.
00:32:32Well, it would certainly help pass the time.
00:32:42Whoa.
00:32:53Cool.
00:32:57Hmm.
00:32:58Hmm.
00:33:07Huh?
00:33:08Hmm.
00:33:09How was that?
00:33:20It didn't pass much time.
00:33:39Are you sure you want this?
00:33:58There's no pressure.
00:33:59Do you feel any kind of way?
00:34:00And if it hurts or anything?
00:34:01I can't see you.
00:34:07I'll follow you, all right?
00:34:09Take control.
00:34:09Does that sound okay?
00:34:13I want you to take control.
00:34:33Good morning.
00:34:36Oh, hey.
00:34:37Good morning.
00:34:39You feeling okay?
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.
00:34:55I actually forgot to tell you.
00:34:58We're going to have dinner with Karen and Jenny tonight.
00:35:00Dinner?
00:35:01Okay.
00:35:02Okay.
00:35:04Okay.
00:35:04But why?
00:35:05I mean, we have to seem like a big, happy family.
00:35:08Well, if we're getting divorced in a year, we're getting divorced in a year, we don't have to appear that happy.
00:35:11Well, no.
00:35:12I mean, we can't have any cracks in our story.
00:35:14I love my brother, but I mean, he's got a loud mouth and Jenny will say anything about everything.
00:35:21Well, then we better get our story straight.
00:35:22Well, then we better get our story straight.
00:35:23If we're going to get grilled, we should be on the same page.
00:35:25Sure.
00:35:26We could practice.
00:35:27I mean, our brother isn't exactly Columbo, and Jenny and Helga are harmless.
00:35:33Helga's coming?
00:35:35Yeah.
00:35:36She said she wanted to get to know you.
00:35:39She has it out for me.
00:35:40It's one night.
00:35:41We can get through one night.
00:35:48Soup's almost ready.
00:35:49Just another few minutes.
00:35:50Thank you, Helga.
00:35:54It's nice to get some face time with you, Alice.
00:35:57I've been wanting to get to know you better.
00:36:00Well, you know what they say?
00:36:01You 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?
00:36:12I'll tell you how I eat.
00:36:15Until 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.
00:36:26It'll be another few minutes.
00:36:28What were you saying, Gideon, about how you two met?
00:36:31Well, dear, would you like me to or would you like to?
00:36:34Well, I just love the way you tell it.
00:36:36All right.
00:36:37Well, it's a very funny story, actually.
00:36:41We met at a charity event a few years ago, and then we happened to come across each other online a few months ago.
00:36:48What's funny about that?
00:36:52The way life works.
00:36:54Sometimes.
00:36:55Well, honey, you forgot the funniest part about how later that night you accidentally tripped me.
00:37:01Oh, then she dropped her champagne glass.
00:37:04What event was it?
00:37:11Hmm?
00:37:12What charity event was it?
00:37:15The one for the opera.
00:37:21I remember this.
00:37:23I literally remember Gideon telling me that he tripped someone.
00:37:27Don't you remember, Kieran?
00:37:28I told you about this.
00:37:29You know, I just don't remember you in our circle.
00:37:34You don't seem like the type.
00:37:37Why?
00:37:38Am I not high class enough?
00:37:43I didn't mean that.
00:37:45No, it's okay.
00:37:46I get it.
00:37:47I would be worried, too, if I thought someone was trying to take advantage of my family.
00:37:52I know you have a lot to protect, and I don't come from a home like this.
00:37:58So you're right.
00:37:59I can't prove to you that I'm not some gold digger.
00:38:02All I can do is promise you that Gideon and I, we know the truth and we trust each other.
00:38:12You really are a special girl.
00:38:21I had my doubts, of course.
00:38:24I couldn't be sure of your intentions.
00:38:26Especially 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.
00:38:41Pregnancy test?
00:38:47Were you going through my trash?
00:38:49Of course not, Alice.
00:38:51Be reasonable.
00:38:52I 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.
00:39:02Gideon, you don't think it's a little rushed?
00:39:10Of course it's rushed.
00:39:11No.
00:39:12It's not.
00:39:13And how is that?
00:39:14Because we...
00:39:16It's okay, you can tell if I'm Gideon.
00:39:21I asked him to keep it a surprise, but...
00:39:25We're getting married.
00:39:27What?
00:39:30When is this happening?
00:39:32Um...
00:39:33Next week?
00:39:38And you're sure this is something you want to do?
00:39:40I'm positive.
00:39:50Well, in that case...
00:39:53Welcome to the family, Alice!
00:39:57Soup's on!
00:39:58I'm sorry, I told everyone we're getting married.
00:40:03I panicked.
00:40:04They were going to find out sooner or later.
00:40:07You know, now we need to pull together a quick wedding.
00:40:10Sounds easy enough.
00:40:12Oh, we gotta get Nico cleared for a couple hours from the hospital.
00:40:16Why?
00:40:18Don't you want your brother there?
00:40:20How would that help the plan?
00:40:23No, I mean, don't you want your brother at the wedding?
00:40:28Now'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.
00:40:39Um...
00:40:40I gotta get a...
00:40:41Get a...
00:40:42Prepared...
00:40:43Um...
00:40:44You gotta get a dress.
00:40:54I almost forgot.
00:40:57Need help?
00:41:14I think I got it.
00:41:16Please, let me help.
00:41:17It's what I'm looking for.
00:41:22Are you nervous?
00:41:23Why 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.
00:41:45You should take your seat.
00:41:47The ceremony's starting soon and...
00:41:49I want to make sure you have a great view.
00:41:51It's bad luck to see each other before the wedding.
00:42:10I know.
00:42:12I think I can afford it.
00:42:14Why's that?
00:42:16Hold on one second.
00:42:17I got a surprise for you.
00:42:23Congratulations.
00:42:28What are you doing here?
00:42:29It's your big day.
00:42:30We thought we'd surprise you.
00:42:32We?
00:42:34Me and Gideon.
00:42:36Hey!
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.
00:42:52Why 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.
00:43:03You'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?
00:43:16Oh yeah.
00:43:17Definitely good enough to have a few drinks later.
00:43:19Let's get you wifed!
00:43:24You, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband.
00:43:28Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow,
00:43:31sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face,
00:43:34as long as you both shall live?
00:43:37I do.
00:43:41And do you, Gideon, take Alice to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:43:44Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow, sickness and health,
00:43:48and whatever challenges you may face, as long as you both shall live?
00:43:51I do.
00:43:53Would you please exchange rings?
00:43:56exchange rings.
00:44:15By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:44:18You may kiss the bride.
00:44:19The bride.
00:44:20The bride and wife, you may kiss the bride.
00:44:52God, you were so beautiful.
00:44:57You have no idea how mad I am at you.
00:45:14You were incredible today.
00:45:19Have you ever even heard of a boundary?
00:45:22Come on, I've closed nine-figure deals on seven continents.
00:45:26Of course I've heard of boundaries.
00:45:29I just, I don't know, I thought you'd be more appreciative.
00:45:33How? You totally ignored what I said.
00:45:36Because it wasn't what you wanted.
00:45:38What 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.
00:45:47Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:45:49He's going to get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow.
00:45:51You're not his father.
00:45:52You're not his mother.
00:45:58Alice.
00:45:59No, I don't want to see you.
00:46:02I'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.
00:46:23First 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...
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.
00:46:43I 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.
00:46:53I know you will be.
00:47:00You left the house.
00:47:24It was getting stuffy in there.
00:47:28What are you doing here?
00:47:30I just...
00:47:31I really want to be here with you.
00:47:51I'm a nervous wreck.
00:47:53He's going to be fine.
00:47:55You want to know how I know?
00:47:57How?
00:47:57Because I think he promised.
00:48:04I take these so seriously.
00:48:21Alice?
00:48:21Yes?
00:48:24Yes?
00:48:25How is he?
00:48:30Nico's surgery was a huge success.
00:48:34They'll bring him in here in just a moment.
00:48:35Okay.
00:48:37So everything went well?
00:48:38Better than we could have hoped for.
00:48:40We'll keep him for two more days,
00:48:42and then he'll be free to go home.
00:48:43Two days?
00:48:43Two days?
00:48:45Is that enough time?
00:48:47I want him to have around-the-clock medical care.
00:48:50What if there are complications?
00:48:51We don't foresee any complications.
00:48:54Money's not going to be a concern.
00:48:56Whatever it takes is fine.
00:48:57Money's not a concern for us either.
00:48:59The thing is, I don't think he needs to be here any longer.
00:49:03He'll make a speedy recovery.
00:49:04He'll make a speedy recovery.
00:49:30I won't be free.
00:49:30I'll make a speedy recovery.
00:49:32Gideon?
00:49:38What are you doing?
00:50:02I want this to be Nico's room.
00:50:08You don't have to do that.
00:50:09It's a big house.
00:50:10There are plenty of rooms.
00:50:12No.
00:50:13I'm ready to move on.
00:50:15To start over.
00:50:19Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:50:28Krista.
00:50:30She was quite the artist.
00:50:32Very famous.
00:50:33I'm sure you've heard of her.
00:50:35I'm absolutely sure I haven't.
00:50:39What happened between you two?
00:50:41She lied.
00:50:42She knew I wanted an heir.
00:50:46She had me fall in love with her.
00:50:49All 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 just to come to see my house.
00:51:02And then as we grew up, it became more about the gifts and the vacations.
00:51:07My point is, I'm used to it.
00:51:11What made her different?
00:51:15She really had me fooled.
00:51:21You know, I had to pay her off just to never see her again.
00:51:26I was so angry.
00:51:31I didn't want to see anyone.
00:51:33And that's when the rumors started.
00:51:35Recluse billionaire.
00:51:36Gideon Maslow.
00:51:38Must be hard to hear people say that about you.
00:51:41No, I didn't care what they said anymore.
00:51:44You know, I had given up on love.
00:51:47But I had never given up on an heir.
00:51:49You know, I'm not gonna hurt you like she did.
00:51:53You really can trust me.
00:51:56Can I tell you a secret?
00:51:59I think I believe you.
00:52:03I think I believe you.
00:52:06Oh no.
00:52:09I feel.
00:52:14Yeah.
00:52:19So let me explain.
00:52:27A
00:52:30The
00:52:33The
00:52:37The
00:52:42The
00:52:45The
00:52:47The
00:52:49The
00:52:51The
00:54:37I'm very pleased with the one that you referred.
00:54:41Mr. Maslow, we never referred anyone.
00:54:47Wait, what do you mean?
00:54:49I'm working with Alice Gardner.
00:54:51Who's Alice Gardner?
00:54:53Is everything okay?
00:55:01I just got off the phone with Brenda, Parkside Surrogacy.
00:55:07Gideon.
00:55:08I thought you said that I can trust you.
00:55:10God, I almost believed you.
00:55:12All the while you've been lying to my face.
00:55:15Gideon, just let me explain.
00:55:16You are just like the rest of them.
00:55:18You know that you are...
00:55:20You're just like her.
00:55:22Okay, you're right.
00:55:23I'm no different than her.
00:55:24I lied to get close to you and I was only in it for the money.
00:55:27But somewhere along the way things changed.
00:55:30Okay, I fell in love with you.
00:55:33Gideon, I'm in love with you.
00:55:36That's what Krista said too.
00:55:38I don't know what to say to make you believe me.
00:55:40Don't try, because it's not going to work.
00:55:43But I thought that having a contract would finally take the complications out of everything,
00:55:48letting me finally get an heir to my estate.
00:55:51God, you violated it from the start.
00:55:54You don't want an heir, Gideon.
00:55:56You want a child.
00:55:57You want to be a dad and to have a family.
00:55:59And deep down, you know that I don't want to leave when the money is paid.
00:56:03I want to stay and I want to have a family with you.
00:56:06You're not scared that it's fake.
00:56:09You're scared that it might actually be real this time.
00:56:14I feel sorry for you, Gideon.
00:56:16You have everything in this world.
00:56:19And you're gonna end up with nothing.
00:56:33Oh, I didn't know you were here.
00:56:42I was gonna make the bed.
00:56:46Looks like you already did.
00:56:48Hmm, looks like I already did.
00:56:54I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:56:56I know you were really hoping she would be the one.
00:57:00But 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.
00:57:14That's actually exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:57:17The 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.
00:57:29Somewhere along the way, she got in your head and made it all mushy-gushy.
00:57:34What happened to you, Gideon?
00:57:36You want an heir?
00:57:38Then you need someone you can trust.
00:57:40Someone who you don't need to worry will start feeling feelings or thinking thoughts.
00:57:45Gideon, I've stood by you, unwaveringly, watching these women enter and exit your life.
00:57:56You really want an heir?
00:57:59The Gideon I know would put one inside me right now.
00:58:15No, she didn't confuse me.
00:58:25She colored me in.
00:58:28Shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:58:32It'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?
00:58:54Poaching 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 have 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.
00:59:44I 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.
00:59:51But if you're going to trust something, trust your heart.
00:59:56Do you really want to lose her?
01:00:02Is it really worth that?
01:00:10So it was never real?
01:00:13It wasn't.
01:00:15Why 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.
01:00:29But 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.
01:00:42Can I tell you something?
01:00:44Always.
01:00:46I really loved him too.
01:00:47You loved him too.
01:00:48We eat him too.
01:00:49We have to keep a friend.
01:00:50I can tell you something about me now.
01:00:52We eat him too.
01:01:10I don't even want him too.
01:01:12I love you.
01:01:13I love you too.
01:01:15Hi.
01:01:20Well, I'm going to go to my room.
01:01:22Be nice.
01:01:23Hi.
01:01:26I'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.
01:01:34That's not what you do.
01:01:36You know when you love someone.
01:01:40I love you, Alice.
01:01:43I 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?
01:02:08I felt a bit weird this morning,
01:02:10so I thought I'd check.
