00:00:00Miss Ri, your ovaries aren't doing their best lately.
00:00:06This could be the start of ovarian failure.
00:00:09Ovarian failure? I mean, I'm so young.
00:00:12Is this gonna mess with me having kids?
00:00:14I always wanted to be a mom.
00:00:16If you want a child, it is medically advisable to do so within the next six months.
00:00:22Through everything, here we stand.
00:00:26Babe, meet you at X Hotels, 3.02 at 7pm.
00:00:30Got a surprise for you.
00:00:34Ethan loves me so much, maybe...
00:00:37Maybe it's not such a bad idea to have a baby sooner rather than later.
00:00:43No, I'm gonna tell him now.
00:00:45Yeah, okay.
00:00:47Oh!
00:01:05Early ovarian failure at 25?
00:01:07If someone sees this, die of embarrassment.
00:01:13Sorry.
00:01:14Are you okay?
00:01:15Yeah, yeah.
00:01:17Oh!
00:01:34Oh my god!
00:01:36Lila!
00:01:37You said you'd be back at 7.
00:01:39Chidi, is this the big surprise you had planned for me?
00:01:42Oh, you're such a buzzkill.
00:01:47You always said you wanted to try something new?
00:01:49Come join us.
00:01:54You always said you wanted to try something new?
00:01:55Come join us.
00:01:57Three years.
00:01:58You know, I wasted three years on you.
00:02:01God, I'm such an idiot.
00:02:03You know, I was planning on having a baby.
00:02:05A baby.
00:02:06A baby.
00:02:07A baby.
00:02:08Sweetheart.
00:02:18You really think I'd marry you for your cheap love over legs like these?
00:02:24You know what?
00:02:26We're done.
00:02:28Six months?
00:02:29What, am I just supposed to find some random guy to get me pregnant?
00:02:32I don't need a man to have my dreams come true.
00:02:46One appointment.
00:02:48One sperm donor.
00:02:49And I can have my own baby.
00:02:58Six months to produce an heir or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:03:04Everything I've built over the last decade.
00:03:07Gone.

00:03:11I mean, Ivy League graduates.
00:03:16Expectable health histories.
00:03:17I don't need resumes.
00:03:18I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:03:21Find me someone who knows their place.
00:03:23Someone who will quietly disappear after they give birth.
00:03:31It's you.
00:03:35Miss, are you here for the interview?

00:04:06Um, sir, I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:04:07I need to know about your reproductive history.
00:04:08Sexual partners in the last six months?

00:18:19Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:22Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:28Tell me, dear.
00:18:38How did you meet Adrian?
00:18:41Through mutual friends.
00:18:43Really?
00:18:45Mutual friends?
00:18:48Pray tell, what mutual friend would Adrian possibly have in your social circle?
00:18:55Unless, of course, it was a business arrangement.
00:18:58I'm sorry?
00:19:00Hmm.
00:19:01A girl in your position surely would have negotiated.
00:19:10The only negotiations was whether I'd take his last name or keep mine.
00:19:15Well, then.
00:19:17Next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:20You, as Adrian's fiancee, would be expected to attend.
00:19:26I'd be honored.
00:19:28Wonderful.
00:19:29Well, I'm sure you can find something suitable to wear.
00:19:36Helen, make sure to take good care of your mistress.

00:19:53Need to clean.
00:19:54Oh, of course.
00:19:55Let me just get my stuff out of your way.
00:19:58Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:05How creative.
00:20:08Must be harder than your family and watching you change a rich man.
00:20:12As a maid, maybe you should just focus on your own job.
00:20:15My business is none of your concern.
00:20:17Oh!
00:20:18How clumsy of me.
00:20:19Stop it!
00:20:20Oh, really?
00:20:21I can see you.

00:21:29I promise.
00:21:38Milo, what happened?
00:21:42What should I do?
00:21:43How's the happy couple today?
00:22:04This is awkward.
00:22:05No worries.
00:22:06It's just a small pinch.
00:22:07That is not small.
00:22:08It's okay.
00:22:09Come here.
00:22:10Take a sec.
00:22:11It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:12No worries.
00:22:13It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:15Mr. Crawford, it is your time.
00:22:16It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:17It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:18It's the perfect timing for the injection.

00:22:23No need.
00:22:24Come here, take a sec.
00:22:31It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:43Mr Crawford, it is your time for the sperm collection.
00:22:46Okay, how do we do this water puppet? Do we need?
00:22:49No need. Just head to the collection room and use your hand.
00:22:53Okay.
00:23:15And pretend she's not right out that door.
00:23:21Mr Crawford, are you alright in there?
00:23:23I'm fine. I just need some assistance.
00:23:33Oh, do you need help?
00:23:34What? No, wait, I didn't mean...
00:23:36Are you sure? I can come in there.
00:23:38Um...
00:23:40Um...
00:23:45Okay. Come in.
00:23:47I mean...
00:23:58So...
00:24:00Want to help?
00:24:01Yeah, what can I...
00:24:02Why?
00:24:05Oh my God.
00:24:06You thought...
00:24:08No, no, I didn't.
00:24:09Um, I didn't...
00:24:11I, um...
00:24:12I'm...

00:24:19Away.
00:24:20Helpful.
00:24:21Are you okay?
00:24:22Dr. Anderson said the hormone shots might hurt a little, but...
00:24:27You're in pain.
00:24:28It's just some discomfort.
00:24:29It'll pass.
00:24:30I'll be okay.
00:24:31Here, this should help.
00:25:01um well the hormone shots were part of the agreement so any resulting discomfort is
00:25:14technically a work-related issue and as your employer have a duty of care
00:25:31purely professional care

00:26:57digger from god knows where ethan what did you say that she does a fashion designer worse
00:27:07seamstress she probably thinks having the proper family do her name will raise her to the top and
00:27:13then she can have her own fashion show she's poor fine but no sense of time either i need to have a
00:27:22serious talk with adrian probably just digging for a wardrobe can't find something to wear

00:56:50You're going to be a grandpa.
00:56:52Is that one of Ethan's boys?
00:56:54No, not him.
00:56:56Then who?
00:56:57It doesn't matter.
00:56:59Dad, look, what really matters is that this is my baby.
00:57:04And I am going to love them just like you love me.
00:57:08Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry.
00:57:11I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you.
00:57:13If I was healthier, if I could work.
00:57:16Dad, it's okay.
00:57:18The hospital bills.
00:57:20Where are you going to get the money from?
00:57:22How are you going to pay for them?
00:57:25Please tell me you didn't sell yourself to someone.
00:57:28No, Dad, it isn't like that.
00:57:30Did someone take advantage of you?
00:57:32My little girl, pregnant and alone.
00:57:36She's not alone.
00:57:41Adrian.
00:57:43Mr. Reid.
00:57:44I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:57:46I'm the father of the child.
00:57:49Not just the father.
00:57:51I'm the man who's going to spend the rest of his life making sure that your daughter and our child have everything they deserve.
00:57:58Pretty words from a rich man.
00:58:01Not words.
00:58:03Facts.
00:58:04I've already arranged for you to be transferred to a private medical facility.
00:58:08Full treatment plan.
00:58:09The very best specialists.
00:58:11Adrian.
00:58:12And I promise you this.
00:58:14Every morning, your daughter will wake up knowing that she's cherished.
00:58:19Every decision I make, every step I take, will be to ensure her happiness.
00:58:27You really mean that, don't you?
00:58:29Yes, I do.
00:58:32Well, maybe I don't have to worry so much anymore.
00:58:37Thank you for saying all that. I know you were just trying to make my dad feel better.
00:58:48I wasn't just trying to do anything.
00:58:51Everything I said was true.
00:58:54I thought you were just worried about me breaking the contract.
00:58:58Finally, you have to understand something.
00:59:01I have been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
00:59:08Yes, we had a contract.
00:59:11But I realized you've become everything to me.
00:59:15Not my surrogate.
00:59:17Not my pretend fiance.
00:59:20If you're willing, would you like to forget the contract and become?
00:59:27My real wife.
00:59:29I'm being in you.
00:59:30Did she come and see you?
00:59:31Did she hurt you?
00:59:32No.
00:59:33Just...
00:59:34Was it she or Trevilla? I saw you taking care of her.
00:59:36What?
00:59:37I have nothing to do with her anymore.
00:59:38Yes, my father asked her over, but I kicked her out.
00:59:39No.
00:59:40I'm not.
00:59:41I'm not.
00:59:42I'm not.
00:59:43I'm not.
00:59:44I'm not.
00:59:45I'm not.
00:59:46I'm not.
00:59:47I'm not.
00:59:48I'm not.
00:59:49I'm not.
00:59:50I'm not.
00:59:51I'm not.
00:59:52I'm not.
00:59:53I'm not.
00:59:54I'm not.
00:59:55My father asked her over, but I kicked her out.
00:59:57I haven't had feelings for her since we broke up.
01:00:00Really?
01:00:01Really?
01:00:10I'm not letting you go.
01:00:12Not ever.
01:00:21Surrogacy?
01:00:22Contract marriage?
01:00:26No, this is perfect.
01:00:31What was so urgent?
01:00:32I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you.
01:00:36If this is about Lila and my uncle...
01:00:38It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:00:41Your perfect uncle?
01:00:43He hired her.
01:00:44She's just a surrogate.
01:00:46The whole engagement is a lie.
01:00:49A contract?
01:00:53Oh, the board would love to hear about this.
01:00:57Next week's family meeting, we reveal everything.
01:01:01Until then, we need to find some evidence.
01:01:06And once he's ruined?
01:01:08I'll comfort him.
01:01:09Help him rebuild, of course.
01:01:11Show him who really belongs by his side.
01:01:14And Lila?
01:01:16Once the truce out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:01:19You can have your little toy back.
01:01:22Thankfully, Mr. Crawford gave me the key.
01:01:35Surrogate agreement.
01:01:36Medical history.
01:01:37There must be some evidence somewhere.
01:01:38Adrian's always so organized.
01:01:39Where are the important documents?
01:01:40Where are the important documents?
01:01:41Where are the important documents?
01:01:42There must be some evidence somewhere.
01:01:43Adrian's always so organized.
01:01:44Where are the important documents?
01:02:18Adrien?
01:02:23Is that you?
01:02:30Shit.
01:02:36Vivian.
01:02:39Oh, Adrien.
01:02:40What are you doing here?
01:02:43I was just looking for you.
01:02:45You know, Adrien, if it's an heir you want,
01:02:49we can make one right now.
01:02:52Poor Lila doesn't have to know.
01:02:55She's already asleep.
01:02:57It'll be our little secret.
01:03:02Here, in the hallway.
01:03:04Wherever you want, darling.
01:03:06What if someone sees us?
01:03:08Scared?
01:03:10I know somewhere.
01:03:13Private.
01:03:18We can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:03:25Adrien?
01:03:26Adrien!
01:03:27Enjoy the storage closet!
01:03:30Adrien!
01:03:31How'd it go?
01:03:47Just drive.
01:03:48Guessed as much.
01:03:50Don't worry.
01:03:50I've got a new plan now.
01:03:53Dr. Anderson will tell us if there's a surrogate involved.
01:04:00Everything looks perfect.
01:04:01The baby is developing perfectly.
01:04:03Really?
01:04:04Really.
01:04:04You have officially entered the stable station.
01:04:07As long as you are gentle, intimacy is perfectly safe.
01:04:13Oh.
01:04:15Listen to your buddies and then...
01:04:17Thanks, thanks, Doc.
01:04:18Thanks.
01:04:18Mr. Anderson.
01:04:33Let's talk about the scene Sinclair's...
01:04:36arrangement.
01:04:38Was it a contract surrogacy?
01:04:40Mr. Herringham, I've come to discuss the patient information.
01:04:44I hear the hospital is opening up a new wing.
01:04:48It'd be a shame if your name mysteriously disappeared from the best.
01:04:55Won't it?
01:04:58Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:12Oh, my God.
01:05:13Oh, my God.
01:05:18Surrogacy!
01:05:24Surrogacy!
01:05:27Five generations.
01:05:30Four for dignity.
01:05:32All trashed by a tabloid scandal.
01:05:35A surrogate?
01:05:37You used a surrogate to gain the inheritance?
01:05:40If that's what you wanted, Adrian, why didn't you just say it?
01:05:44Why drag the family's name through the mud?
01:05:48This isn't true.
01:05:50It's nothing but a malicious rumor.
01:05:52Don't believe everything you see in the news.
01:05:56Lila and I...
01:05:57We're in love.
01:05:58Your lives stop here, Uncle.
01:06:07Grandfather, the files.
01:06:10Proving their contract.
01:06:12Lila isn't his fiancée.
01:06:14She's just a surrogate who got hired to bear an heir.
01:06:17Medical files from Crawford Fertility Center.
01:06:24They show Miss Reed undergoing IVF treatment.
01:06:28And was generously compensated.
01:06:32A surrogate.
01:06:33How vulgar.
01:06:34You dare deceive me with this filth?
01:06:38Dragging the Crawford name through the mud?
01:06:41I'll deal with it.
01:06:43Right.
01:06:44How?
01:06:45God knows what else you've schemed.
01:06:48Actually, I might have a solution.
01:06:52Replace Adrian's fiancée with me.
01:06:55Let Lila take the fall in the media.
01:06:59She's just a desperate gold digger who wants to bear an heir
01:07:02just so she can become queen.
01:07:05Shut your mouth.
01:07:10Fine!
01:07:12Marry Vivian now.
01:07:14Will you give up your shares and get out?
01:07:17Adrian, I always get the man you want.
01:07:24Mother, if he does this, you could still get the inheritance.
01:07:27No rush.
01:07:29Let's get them into trouble.
01:07:32He's fought too hard to lose everything now.
01:07:36He'll do it.
01:07:38I'll give it all up.
01:07:40The company.
01:07:42My inheritance.
01:07:45Everything.
01:07:47But not Lila.
01:07:49Not my wife.
01:07:51The only woman I've ever loved.
01:07:54And we're getting married.
01:07:56Officially.
01:07:58Publicly.
01:07:59Sign.
01:08:13You want to give up everything for her.
01:08:14Give up your inheritance.
01:08:15Everything goes to Eden.
01:08:17Adrian.
01:08:19You're giving up your inheritance just for her?
01:08:22Are you insane?
01:08:23I would never choose anything over my wife.
01:08:27Not ever.
01:08:28And I would never choose you.
01:08:30You'll regret this.
01:08:35Go on.
01:08:37Sign this.
01:08:39Walk away from your legacy.
01:08:41So you've had this planned all along?
01:08:49Excuse me, wait.
01:08:50No, I'm not worth giving up your future.
01:08:56You are my future.
