00:00:00When a mysterious billionaire asks you to marry him for a year and give him an heir, what do you say?
00:00:07He offered me $10 million. I needed the money to pay for my little brother's heart surgery. I couldn't say no.
00:00:14So, I moved into his mansion, and slowly, I got to know him. His 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, and eventually, I started to realize I wanted this baby, and the strange little family we'd become.
00:00:38I wanted him. But my year with Gideon Maslow was coming to an end. Was it possible he felt the same way?
00:00:54Gideon Maslow
00:01:24Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:27Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:01:33What does that mean?
00:01:39It means...
00:01:41I only want to think about you.
00:01:47My little dog.
00:01:54ы
00:01:59So you're interested in becoming a surrogate?
00:02:03so you're interested in becoming a surrogate well i can't think of anything more fulfilling

00:02:31you're young you're healthy i can already think of several clients who would love you oh that's great
00:02:37it's a huge relief honestly oh but honey wait your medical records are missing the details of
00:02:43your previous birth previous birth to be a surrogate you need to have given birth before
00:02:50it was in the literature we sent over no please perhaps you can consider egg donation that doesn't
00:02:56pay enough oh sweetheart egg donation is still a beautiful way to help bring new life into the
00:03:01world let me get you a pamphlet
00:03:15hey cutie hey oh no don't get up it's fine how are you feeling well i can't live like this much

00:03:58by the way um have you heard of someone named gideon maslow yeah of course he's the ceo of
00:04:06maslow enterprises he's a billionaire why just saw the name somewhere
00:04:17who is this hi uh this is alice gardner the parkside surrogacy agency referred me okay i'm

00:05:49what is it it's a non-disclosure agreement guys usually offer to buy me a drink first
00:06:03anything that i say in this meeting will not be repeated or else i will unleash a legal firestorm
00:06:10on your ass the likes of which you couldn't even imagine your lawyers are going to need lawyers and
00:06:16their lawyers are going to need lawyers okay geez i get it
00:06:23could have just asked me to pinky promise i take those very seriously all right let's get down to
00:06:30business i need a surrogate of sorts of sorts my 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 what
00:06:52oh you're one of those billionaires
00:06:57freaky psychopath well the marriage would be a temporary situation after the birth of my son
00:07:02your son or whatever after the birth of my heir
00:07:05will divorce you'll retain visitation rights but the marriage has to appear real for at least one
00:07:12year why if i want my heir to eventually take over the company he has to maintain my family's pristine
00:07:20reputation see the community would never accept a bastard i don't get it you have money and a nice
00:07:29face and a great body and you are tall like how tall are you why can't you just find a real wife
00:07:37i don't get out much i enjoy the solitude and enjoy paying people to have sex with you who said
00:07:44anything about sex i know how husbands and wives make babies no we would take the medical approach this
00:07:51is a business proposition not a romantic one these days marriages they're all financial relationships
00:07:59anyways we would just be settling ours up front yeah i'm sorry i can't do this i i agreed to have a
00:08:09child for you not to have a child with you 10 million dollars
00:08:2310 10 million dollars 10 million dollars okay okay i'll do it well you can take your time and and

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 it's not an option
00:09:12look i'll be the best fake wife you've ever had okay please

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.
00:19:23See? 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.
00:19:47How is this real life?
00:19:49Having your priorities straight, compromising on joy because it's what you have to do, it doesn't get more real life than that, babe.
00:19:57Looking 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.
00:20:19Nico's on the up and up.
00:20:34So Haga told me you went snooping.
00:20:41What a tattletale.
00:20:42I gave you access to every other room in the house.
00:20:45You couldn't respect my one wish?
00:20:46Have you ever read 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?
00:22:31It means...
00:22:33I only want to think about you.
00:22:39My little dove.
00:22:40What the...
00:22:59What the...

00:28:16i'm very surprised

00:28:22it's just a little more responsibility than i was prepared for
00:28:28i know it's been a while since you've been with anyone but i'm sure you remember how to do it
00:28:34in fact if i remember correctly jenny mills was a virgin and he slept with her

00:33:30Are you sure you want this?
00:33:51I'm sure.
00:33:51There's no pressure if you feel any kind of way, and if it hurts or anything, I'll follow
00:34:08you, all right?
00:34:09You take control.
00:34:10Does that sound okay?
00:34:13I want you to take control.
00:34:21Good morning.
00:34:36Oh, hey.
00:34:38Good 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.
00:34:51We could have another drink tonight.
00:34:56I actually forgot to tell you.
00:34:58We're going to have dinner with Karen and Jenny tonight.
00:35:00Dinner?
00:35:04Okay, 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.
00:35:13I 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, and Jenny will say anything about
00:35:20everything.
00:35:21Well, then we better get our story straight.
00:35:23If we're going to get grilled, we should be on the same page.
00:35:26Sure.
00:35:27We 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.
00:35:41We can get through one night.
00:35:49Soup's almost ready.
00:35:50Just another few minutes.
00:35:51Thank you, Helga.
00:35:52It's nice to get some face time with you, Alice.
00:35:58I've been wanting to get to know you better.
00:36:00Well, you know what they say?
00:36:02You don't know someone until you see them eat.
00:36:04How do you eat, Alice?
00:36:11You want me to spoil the surprise?
00:36:13I'll tell you how I eat.
00:36:16Until I'm full.
00:36:17I can attest to that.
00:36:21So tell us, how did you and Gideon meet?
00:36:23And the questions begin before you even hire appetizers.
00:36:27It'll be another few minutes.
00:36:29What were you saying, Gideon, about how you two met?
00:36:32Well, dear, would you like me to, or would you like to?
00:36:35Well, I just love the way you tell it.
00:36:37All right.
00:36:38Well, it's a very funny story, actually.
00:36:42We met at a charity event a few years ago,
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.
00:37:02And then she dropped her champagne glass.
00:37:07What event was it?
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,
00:37:50if 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,
00:38:07we know the truth,
00:38:10and we trust each other.
00:38:12You really are a special girl.
00:38:22I 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,
00:38:34I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.
00:38:38You can imagine my relief
00:38:39when I saw the negative pregnancy test.
00:38:42Pregnancy test?
00:38:47Were you going through my trash?
00:38:50Of course not, Alice.
00:38:51Be reasonable.
00:38:53I was cleaning up the mess you made in your bathroom
00:38:55and didn't know what I was looking at until it was too late.
00:38:59Are you trying to get pregnant?
00:38:59Of course not, Kieran, but accidents happen.
00:39:01We are trying.
00:39:07Gideon, you don't think it's a little rushed?
00:39:10Of course it's rushed.
00:39:12No.
00:39:12It's not.
00:39:13And how is that?
00:39:14Because we...
00:39:17It's okay, you can tell if I'm Gideon.
00:39:22I asked him to keep it a surprise,
00:39:24but we're getting married.
00:39:28What?
00:39:31When is this happening?
00:39:32Um, next week.
00:39:35And you're sure this is something you want to do?
00:39:45I'm positive.
00:39:51Well, in that case...
00:39:53Welcome to the family, Alice.
00:39:58Soup's on!
00:39:59I'm sorry, I told everyone we're getting married.
00:40:04I panicked.
00:40:06They were going to 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, we got to get Nico cleared for a couple hours from the hospital.
00:40:17Why?
00:40:19Don't you want your brother there?
00:40:20How would that help the plan?
00:40:25No, I mean...
00:40:26Don't you want to have a good time.
00:40:32And besides, he'll be there when I get married for real one day.
00:40:35Yeah, no, that's fine.
00:40:39Um, I got to get a prepared...
00:40:43Um, you got to get a dress.
00:40:54I almost forgot.
00:41:05Need help?
00:41:14I think I got it.
00:41:16Please, let me help.
00:41:18That's what I'm here for.
00:41:22Are you nervous?
00:41:24Why would I be nervous?
00:41:26It's your wedding day.
00:41:28Right.
00:41:30I'm actually fine.
00:41:32Gideon's a great guy.
00:41:33I'm aware.
00:41:35I just mean there's nothing to be nervous about.
00:41:38I'm happy for you.
00:41:40Both of you.
00:41:41But especially you.
00:41:43What an amazing accomplishment.
00:41:46You should take your seat.
00:41:48The ceremony's starting soon, and...
00:41:50I want to make sure you have a great view.
00:42:05It's bad luck to see each other before the wedding.
00:42:10I might 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.
00:42:24Congratulations.
00:42:24What are you doing here?
00:42:30It's your big day.
00:42:31We thought we'd surprise you.
00:42:33We?
00:42:34Me and Gideon.
00:42:37Hey.
00:42:38Hey.
00:42:38Hey.
00:42:38Think about how happy Mom and Dad would be to see us right now.
00:42:46Two orphans all grown up.
00:42:48Why did you get so old?
00:42:56We both got old way too young.
00:43:00I love that you're here.
00:43:01Okay?
00:43:02But nothing is worth risking your health.
00:43:05You're all I got.
00:43:06You know that?
00:43:07Not anymore.
00:43:14You're sure you're okay to sit through the whole ceremony?
00:43:17Oh yeah.
00:43:17Definitely good enough to have a few drinks later.
00:43:19Let's get you wifed.
00:43:24Do you, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:43:28Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow,
00:43:32through sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face
00:43:35as long as you both shall live?
00:43:37I do.
00:43:41And do you, Gideon,
00:43:43take Alice to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:43:45Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow,
00:43:48sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face
00:43:51as long as you both shall live?
00:43:53I do.
00:43:55Would you please exchange rings?
00:44:07By the power vested in me,
00:44:17I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:44:20You may kiss the bride.
00:44:21I do.
00:44:22I do.
00:44:45Oh, my God, you were so beautiful.
00:44:53You 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?
00:45:22I'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.
00:45:42You jeopardized his health.
00:45:43Do you know how big of a violation that is?
00:45:46It'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.
00:45:52You're not his father.
00:45:53You'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.
00:46:06Tell her we're fighting.
00:46:07No, Alice.
00:46:13Today's the day.
00:46:23First day of the rest of my life.
00:46:26Or the last.
00:46:27We'll see.
00:46:28God, I hate when you say stuff like that.
00:46:30I'm just joking.
00:46:31Relax.
00:46:33It'll be fine.
00:46:34So, 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.
00:46:54I know you will be.
00:46:55I know you will be.
00:47:04Gideon.
00:47:22You left the house.
00:47:24It was getting stuffy in there.
00:47:28What are you doing here?
00:47:30I just, I really want to be here with you.
00:47:34I'm a nervous wreck.
00:47:53He's going to be fine.
00:47:55You want to know how I know?
00:47:57How?
00:47:59Because I think you promise.
00:48:04I take these so seriously.
00:48:21Alice?
00:48:24Yes?
00:48:24How is he?
00:48:26Nico'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.
00:48:45Two days?
00:48:46Is that enough time?
00:48:47I mean,
00:48:48we don't foresee any complications.
00:48:53Money'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,
00:49:00I don't think he needs to be here any longer.
00:49:03He'll make a speedy recovery.
00:49:14No, but I mean,
00:49:15I just can visit you for the book.
00:49:16It's like strings and mountains, right?
00:49:18What?
00:49:19Yes, what I'm saying.
00:49:20Gideon?
00:49:37Gideon?
00:49:38What are you doing?
00:50:04I want this to be Nico's room.
00:50:08You don't have to do that.
00:50:10It's a big house.
00:50:11There are plenty of rooms.
00:50:13No.
00:50:14I'm ready to move on.
00:50:16To start over.
00:50:19Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:50:29Krista.
00:50:30She was quite the artist.
00:50:33Very famous.
00:50:35I'm sure you've heard of her.
00:50:36I'm absolutely sure I haven't.
00:50:38What happened between you two?
00:50:42She lied.
00:50:43She knew I wanted an heir.
00:50:47She had me fall in love with her.
00:50:50All the while knowing that she didn't want to become a mother.
00:50:54Women have always lied.
00:50:57Even when I was a kid, they would lie.
00:51:01Just 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.
00:51:12What made her different?
00:51:16She really had me fooled.
00:51:17You know, I had to pay her off just to never see her again.
00:51:27I was so...
00:51:29angry.
00:51:32I didn't want to see anyone.
00:51:34And that's when the rumors started.
00:51:36Recluse 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.
00:51:45You know, I had given up on love.
00:51:48But I had never given up on an heir.
00:51:50You know, I'm not gonna hurt you like she did.
00:51:54You really can trust me.
00:51:56Can I tell you a secret?
00:52:03I think I believe you.
00:52:26I'm not telling you.
00:52:31I don't want to speak about this.
00:52:33I'm not anything else.
00:52:33I don't know that much.
00:52:40I don't see men.
00:52:44I do like my thing.
00:52:46I don't want you to know if my sister is saying,
00:52:46see who I am?
00:52:47I don't think my sister is saying.
00:52:51She looks like a teenager.
00:52:53I like his daughter.
00:52:53I don't know if I can hear someone.
00:52:54I'm not going to be sizzling.
00:56:11I'm scared that it might actually be real this time.
00:56:15I feel sorry for you, Gideon.
00:56:18You have everything in this world,
00:56:21and you're gonna end up with nothing.
00:56:24Oh, I didn't know you were here.
00:56:43I was gonna make the bed.
00:56:46Looks like you already did.
00:56:49Looks like I already did.
00:56:54I'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 get me an heir.
00:57:14That'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.
00:57:29Somewhere along the way, she got in your head and made it all mushy-gushy.
00:57:33What 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.
00:57:49Gideon, 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.
00:58:04No.
00:58:05She didn't confuse me.
00:58:11She colored me in.
00:58:13Shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:58:18It's never simple with you, is it?
00:58:19I guess not.
00:58:20It's never simple with you, is it?
00:58:21It's never simple with you, is it?
00:58:22I guess not.
00:58:23But I won't be making that mistake again.
00:58:27It's never simple with you, is it?
00:58:45I guess not.
00:58:46I guess not.
00:58:47But I won't be making that mistake again.
00:58:52Which mistake is that?
00:58:56Poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin?
00:59:03Falling in love.
00:59:10Okay.
00:59:11I am going to do something that is very unlike me and actually give a shit for a second.
00:59:23Gideon, aside from the doctor that delivered you, I have known you longer than anyone on
00:59:28this 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
00:59:40as when you are with Alice.
00:59:45I 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.
00:59:52But if you're going to trust something, trust your heart.
00:59:58Do you really want to lose her?
01:00:03Is it really worth that?
01:00:08So 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.
01:00:27You fixed my broken heart.
01:00:29But now I can do all the things that we dreamed about when we were kids.
