00:00:00Miss Ri, your ovaries aren't doing their best lately.
00:00:07This could be the start of ovarian failure.
00:00:09Ovarian failure? I mean, I'm so young.
00:00:12Is this going to mess with me having kids?
00:00:14I've 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 7 p.m.
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, fine.
00:01:17Oh!
00:01:34Oh my god!
00:01:36Lila!
00:01:37You said you'd be back at 7.
00:01:39Cheating?
00:01:40Is this the big surprise you had planned for me?
00:01:43Oh, 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?
00:01:56Come 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.
00:02:08Sweet art.
00:02:18You really think I'd marry you for your cheap love over legs like these?
00:02:23You know what?
00:02:24We're done.
00:02:25Six months?
00:02:26What, am I just supposed to find some random guy to get me pregnant?
00:02:30Am I just supposed to find some random guy to get me pregnant?
00:02:43I don't need a man to have my dreams come true.
00:02:45One appointment, one sperm donor, and I can have my own baby.
00:02:52Six 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, gone.
00:03:07Well, sir, the surrogate candidates have all been vetted thoroughly.
00:03:11I mean, Ivy League graduates.
00:03:15Expectable 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.
00:03:31You.
00:03:35Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:03:36Oh.
00:03:37Um.
00:03:38Right.
00:03:39Well, let's get started.
00:03:44Education background?
00:03:45Excuse me?
00:03:46And I'm going to need a complete medical history.
00:03:48Family genetic conditions, mostly.
00:03:50Um.
00:03:51Do you exercise regularly?
00:03:52You look...
00:03:56Acceptable.
00:03:58Do you have any idea who I am?
00:04:00I'm just being thorough.
00:04:02This is about making a healthy baby, after all.
00:04:07Why are men always so full of themselves?
00:04:09Um.
00:04:11Um, sir, I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:04:13I need to know about your...
00:04:15reproductive history.
00:04:17Sexual partners in the last six months?
00:04:19Mr. Crawford, I can show her out.
00:04:21It's okay.
00:04:22Thompson, you can leave us.
00:04:23Okay.
00:04:24What are you doing?
00:04:25What are you doing?
00:04:33I'm making sure this is...
00:04:35thorough.
00:04:36Um.
00:04:37Um.
00:04:38Um.
00:04:39Um.
00:04:40Um.
00:04:41Of course.
00:04:42Uh.
00:04:43I'm perfectly healthy too.
00:04:44Uh.
00:04:45No kinetic conditions.
00:04:46I get checkups regularly.
00:04:47I haven't started taking prenatal vitamins.
00:04:48Good.
00:04:49I have to say, you're a perfect match.
00:04:50How about in regards to compensation?
00:04:51Have you got a figure in mind?
00:04:52Well, I was thinking...
00:04:54A little bit of it.
00:04:55Uh.
00:04:56I was thinking...
00:04:57Hey, no.
00:04:58No.
00:04:59I...
00:05:00I was thinking...
00:05:01Hey.
00:05:02I'm not.
00:05:03Um.
00:05:04I...
00:05:05Do not.
00:05:06I didn't even want a...
00:05:07Go ahead.
00:05:08No.
00:05:09In terms of pain.
00:05:10No.
00:05:11No.
00:05:12No.
00:05:13No.
00:05:14No.
00:05:15No.
00:05:16No.
00:05:17No.
00:05:18No.
00:05:19No.
00:05:20No.
00:05:21No.
00:05:22$800? $800? Well, I was expecting a figure much higher than that.
00:05:32I know it's not much, but, you know, considering the quality, and I could help out in other ways, I could do your paperwork.
00:05:41Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:05:52Are you serious? All this?
00:05:56Take your time reviewing, but the key point is, after birth, the child stays with me. No contact.
00:06:01Are you kidding me? You want to keep my baby? Are you kidding me? You want to keep my baby? My baby! Is this some kind of sick joke?
00:06:13That's standard procedure for a surrogacy agreement.
00:06:16Surrogacy what? Surrogacy!
00:06:18The position that you're interviewing for.
00:06:20No, I came here to buy sperm.
00:06:23You came to what?
00:06:28Oh, my God.
00:06:31I?
00:06:34I thought you were a donor.
00:06:36That is why I came here asking you all those questions about your qualifications.
00:06:41And I thought you were applying to be my surrogate.
00:06:45I am so sorry about all the confusion.
00:06:49I...
00:06:49I'm going to go.
00:06:55A million dollars.
00:06:58For caring my child.
00:07:04I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:07:08Not somebody else's.

00:18:05Sorry, didn't see you.
00:18:09It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:15Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancee.
00:18:19Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:22Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:35Tell me dear, how did you meet Adrian?
00:18:41Through mutual friends.
00:18:43Really?
00:18:44Mutual friends?
00:18:48Pray tell, what mutual friend would Adrian possibly have in your social circle?
00:18:54Unless, of course, it was a business arrangement.
00:18:57I'm sorry?
00:18:59A girl in your position surely would have negotiated.
00:19:09The only negotiations was whether I'd take his last name or keep mine.
00:19:14Well then, next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:19You, as Adrian's fiancee, would be expected to attend.
00:19:25I'd be honored.
00:19:26Wonderful.
00:19:27I'm sure you can find something suitable to wear.
00:19:32Helen, make sure to take good care of your mistress.
00:19:40Excuse me, Miss Reed.
00:19:41Need to clean.
00:19:42Oh, of course.
00:19:43Let me just get my stuff out of your way.
00:19:47Is this what you're worrying to the family dinner?
00:20:05Oh, great.
00:20:08It must be harder than your family and watching you change in each month.
00:20:12As a maid, maybe you should just focus on your own job and my business is none of your concern.
00:20:16Oh, how long tell me.
00:20:23Stop it!
00:20:27Really?
00:20:28The thing is you could just marry a rich man,
00:20:31you're just trash trying to climb a social ladder.
00:20:34Hey, Mr. Crawford?
00:20:37She was trying to attack me.
00:20:42I'm just trying to help.
00:20:45Get out.
00:20:46I'm sorry.
00:20:47I can't explain.
00:20:48One more word and you're fired.
00:20:49Get out.
00:20:54What happened?
00:20:55Nothing.
00:20:56I just...
00:20:58I need some space.
00:21:01I'll stay in the guest room tonight.
00:21:03Lali, you don't have to.
00:21:04Please.
00:21:06I need some time alone.
00:21:08No, you stay.
00:21:10I'll sleep on the salt.
00:21:15I miss her so much, Daddy.
00:21:22Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:24As long as we can get you better,
00:21:27I will if they weren't to get to me.
00:21:29I promise.
00:21:30Lali, what happened?
00:21:40What should I do?
00:21:42How's the happy couple today?
00:21:55This is awkward.
00:21:56No worries.
00:21:57It's just a small pinch.
00:21:58That is not small.
00:22:00That's okay.
00:22:01How are you?
00:22:02That's okay.
00:22:03Come here.
00:22:04Here's that.
00:22:05No worries.
00:22:14It's just a small pinch.
00:22:15That is not small.
00:22:22It's okay.
00:22:24Over here.
00:22:24Over here, side.
00:22:31It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:35Mr. Crawford, it is your time for the sperm collection.
00:22:46Okay, how do we do this water equipment do we need?
00:22:49No need.
00:22:50Just head to the correction room and use your hand.
00:22:53Okay.
00:23:05And pretend she's not right out that door.
00:23:21Mr. Crawford, are you all right in there?
00:23:22I'm fine.
00:23:28I just need some assistance.
00:23:32Oh, do you need help?
00:23:34No, wait.
00:23:34I didn't mean...
00:23:36Are you sure?
00:23:36I can come in there.
00:23:45Okay.
00:23:45Come in.
00:23:58So...
00:23:59You want to help?
00:24:01Yeah, what can I?
00:24:04Oh, my God.
00:24:06You thought...
00:24:08No, no, I didn't.
00:24:08Um, I didn't...
00:24:10I, um...
00:24:12I'm...
00:24:12I'm...
00:24:13I'm gonna go.
00:24:15I'm gonna go.
00:24:17I'm gonna go so far away.
00:24:19Helpful.
00:24:20Are you okay?
00:24:36Dr. Anderson said the hormone shots might hurt a little, but...
00:24:39You're in pain.
00:24:41It's just some discomfort.
00:24:42It'll pass.
00:24:43I'll be okay.
00:24:43Here, this should help.
00:25:08Um, well, the hormone shots were part of the agreement.
00:25:11So, any resulting discomfort is technically a work-related issue.
00:25:16And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:18And as your employer, I am going to go so hard.
00:25:26Thorop Yes.
00:25:27Have a duty.
00:25:30It's not too late.
00:25:32Sorry.
00:25:33Who?
00:25:34It's just going on.
00:25:36I don't know.
00:25:38You does.
00:25:38I'm of the people away.
00:25:42Fearless.
00:25:44Fearless.
00:25:44Fearless.
00:25:47Fearless.
00:25:47Purely professional care.
00:26:14Purely professional care.
00:26:17Purely professional care.
00:26:47Purely professional care.
00:26:49I don't know why he picked this gold deal from...
00:26:50God knows where.
00:26:53Ethan, what did you say that she does?
00:26:54A fashion designer?
00:26:55Worse.
00:26:57This gold digger from God knows where.
00:27:01Ethan, what did you say that she does?
00:27:04A fashion designer?
00:27:06Worse.
00:27:08Seamstress.
00:27:09She probably thinks having the proper family do her name
00:27:12will raise her to the top,
00:27:13and then she can have her own fashion show.
00:27:16She's poor.
00:27:17Fine.
00:27:18But no sense of time, either.
00:27:21I need to have a serious talk with Adrian.
00:27:23Probably just stinging for a wardrobe.
00:27:25Can't find something to wear.
00:27:27A fashion designer scrounging around for an outfit.
00:27:31How ironic.
00:27:32Maybe her designs are just too embarrassing to be seen in public.
00:27:36Okay.
00:27:37But seriously.
00:27:39I mean, I do pity her, right?
00:27:42Her worthless clothing in our beautiful home.
00:27:45I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:50Go get her now.
00:27:52Apologies for the delay.
00:28:15Okay.
00:28:15My, my, my.
00:28:26Trying hard to get the part.
00:28:29James!
00:28:30Make sure none of the silver is missing after dinner.
00:28:34At least we know that Adrian's credit card is being put to good use.
00:28:44Although money can buy you designer clothing,
00:28:48it can't buy you a good upbringing.
00:28:51Actually, I made the dress myself.
00:28:53The little seamstress that you are.
00:28:56How quaint.
00:28:57At least we know who will be darning.
00:29:00Adrian sucks.
00:29:01You know, I wasn't brought up into wealth,
00:29:06but I was raised with something far more valuable.
00:29:09Integrity.
00:29:11Integrity.
00:29:12Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:29:21How much?
00:29:23How much would it take for you to disappear?
00:29:27Name your price.
00:29:28Mr. Crawford, I believe that's the difference between you and me.
00:29:31I don't think everything can be bought with money.
00:29:36Excuse me.
00:29:48Stay calm.
00:29:50You got this.
00:29:52I'll dress up for me, baby.
00:29:58I need to get back to dinner.
00:30:01What's the rush?
00:30:02We're all family here.
00:30:06Almost family.
00:30:08Don't touch me.
00:30:09You used to like it when I touched you.
00:30:11Remember how shy you were?
00:30:12Always saying no.
00:30:14Let go of me, you creep.
00:30:15All right?
00:30:16Careful now.
00:30:17One scream and everyone at dinner will find out
00:30:19what kind of a girl you really are
00:30:20and her love history.
00:30:22Oh!
00:30:23Oh!
00:30:23Come on.
00:30:34Is everything okay?
00:30:36You look a bit flustered.
00:30:40As I was saying, about the Wilson, would you?
00:30:45Stop it.
00:30:47Something wrong with me, read.
00:30:49Enough!
00:30:58No manners.
00:31:00No class.
00:31:01I don't know how you managed to seduce my son.
00:31:03Someone like you never deserve a place in this family.
00:31:08I'm the one that told her to stay here and be with me.
00:31:11Adrian.
00:31:19If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:31:24You want to know how we met?
00:31:26She crashed into my life.
00:31:28Quite literally.
00:31:29She's brave.
00:31:31It's just a love letter in her hand.
00:31:33She confessed to me right there at the hospital.
00:31:36She's not into money.
00:31:37Even if someone dropped a million dollars at her feet, she would have been blank.
00:31:42For carrying my child.
00:31:44I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:31:47Not somebody else's.
00:31:49And she's tough.
00:31:51Even after everything you did to humiliate her, she didn't walk away in anger.
00:31:55And she's still here.
00:31:57I thought you were supposed to be in Atlanta.
00:31:58How did you...
00:32:00I'm sorry.
00:32:01Sir, two things.
00:32:03First, your mother's invited Mrs. Crawford to the family dinner.
00:32:05Second, the daddy's ready.
00:32:07We can go now.
00:32:11Cancel it, Lana.
00:32:13But, but, but, sir, is there the murder?
00:32:17Murder.
00:32:18Yes, sir.
00:32:18What a touching story, Uncle.
00:32:35Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:32:39What are you talking about?
00:32:42We've been dating for three years.
00:32:45See?
00:32:45So, clearly she planned all this, dated me first to get to know the family, and now, well, set her sights higher.
00:33:02Manipulative little...
00:33:03Face it, Uncle.
00:33:04You're just another step on her ladder to the top.
00:33:07Who knows how many men she's slept with already, right?
00:33:10You're right.
00:33:14We did date for three years, but you were cheating on me for two of them.
00:33:21What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:24Nudes?
00:33:27What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:30Nudes?
00:33:31Or do you record videos?
00:33:32That was for every lie you just told me.
00:33:40You, Lila!
00:33:42How dare you, Adrian, hit my son!
00:33:48Lila.
00:33:51Where do you think you're going?
00:33:52We're not finished yet.
00:33:56Yes, we are.
00:33:57Oh, I'm sorry.
00:34:02I should have never left you alone with my family.
00:34:05It's okay.
00:34:07Thank you for coming back.
00:34:09And for all the kind lies you said about us.
00:34:14What happened to your hands?
00:34:16Oh, I was fixing the hemline, and I can get kind of clumsy with the needles.
00:34:21Lila, sit down.
00:34:22Let me have a look at that.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:27Sit down.
00:34:28Let me have a look at that.
00:34:30Okay.
00:34:33As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:37I expect you to use them.
00:34:39I didn't want to assume.
00:34:43You're Crawford now.
00:34:47I'm blank.
00:34:48I'm blank.
00:34:48Dr. Anderson.
00:35:02Mr. Crawford, the psychos are ready.
00:35:05We can proceed with the implementation tomorrow morning.
00:35:07I see.
00:35:10What is it?
00:35:10Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:12So I've been thinking.
00:35:13Perhaps we could approach this in a more natural manner.
00:35:19That's something wrong.
00:35:26So, what do you think?
00:35:28Can't afford to let you in.
00:35:30Wow.
00:35:32Um.
00:35:34We should probably get some sleep.
00:35:37You know, the procedure.
00:35:38Good night, Mr. Crawford.
00:35:54You don't need to be so nervous.
00:35:56Mrs. Crawford, try to relax.
00:35:58Can I open up the window?
00:36:00It might feel a little bit cold.
00:36:03Is it cold?
00:36:04That white little spot.
00:36:10Yeah.
00:36:11That's our baby.
00:36:15Really?
00:36:23I can't walk, you know.
00:36:25The doctor said to stay off your feet.
00:36:27Complete rest.
00:36:28You seem more nervous than I am.
00:36:29Hey, I'm just following medical protocol.
00:36:31Ethan, in order to claim your inheritance, you have to find a way to break them up.
00:36:52No matter what it takes.
00:36:56Maybe finding the chance to get her back into my arms is the best way.
00:37:01Adrian?
00:37:30Adrian?
00:37:31Not quite.
00:37:32You want my help?
00:37:34Let go of me.
00:37:36You used to like being in my arms.
00:37:38Remember all those late nights together?
00:37:41Did she?
00:37:48Remember all those late nights together?
00:37:51Did she?
00:37:52I was just telling you some food.
00:38:03Get out.
00:38:07Adrian?
00:38:09Mama.
00:38:11What's wrong with me?
00:38:12My stomach.
00:38:14If anything, anything happens to me, Fionki, or our unborn child,
00:38:20that you will pay.
00:38:28So you've been cheating all along.
00:38:31A few weeks with my uncle and you're carrying his child.
00:38:34You want a perfect little family?
00:38:36It is not going to happen.
00:38:38Thompson, cancel all my plans.
00:38:51Everything for the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:53Sir, what happened?
00:38:55You need my help?
00:38:56You can't help me on this.
00:38:57Just do as I say.
00:38:57You and Ethan, you've never gotten along, have you?
00:39:05Why?
00:39:06You seem to care a lot about him.
00:39:08No, it's not like that.
00:39:11Just get some rest.
00:39:12You had a rough day.
00:39:14Why did you choose to believe me about Ethan?
00:39:17Just...
00:39:17Just...
00:39:19I know you're not like that.
00:39:22Just get some rest.
00:39:25Make yourself at home.
00:39:27Anything you need, anything you want, I'll be around.
00:39:30Whatever I want?
00:39:31What in the...
00:39:50What are you doing?
00:39:52This is junk food.
00:39:55Like, these have zero nutritional value.
00:39:57You can't take those.
00:40:00The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:01The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:04And chips.
00:40:05And chips.
00:40:06And ice cream.
00:40:07You wouldn't deny anyone.
00:40:10I've been doing research into optimal pregnancy nutrition, okay?
00:40:14Week by week, what you should be having every day.
00:40:16I've got a meal plan, breakfast, lunch.
00:40:18How about a compromise?
00:40:21One treat per day.
00:40:23Half a treat.
00:40:24Three quarters?
00:40:25Three quarters.
00:40:31Three quarters.
00:40:32Three quarters.
00:40:32Three quarters.
00:40:33Three quarters.

00:50:01Adrian!
00:50:07What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:10Of doing my job.
00:50:12Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:50:15Ever since she came into your life,
00:50:17you've been ruining,
00:50:19you've been undermining everything that we built.
00:50:21Leave Ryla out of this.
00:50:23I don't need to stand here and listen to you.
00:50:25Oh, run along.
00:50:27The adults are talking business now.
00:50:29Don't worry, dear.
00:50:31We just need to borrow him for a moment.
00:50:33Business matters.
00:50:35Who wouldn't understand?
00:50:39She's nothing but a brute mare.
00:50:41Once she delivers,
00:50:43you pay her off and you'll be done with it.
00:50:45Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:50:49Someone like me.
00:50:55Vivian joins Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:50:57Non-negotiable.
00:50:59She'll be with you every day.
00:51:01Just like before.
00:51:03And your little pet project.
00:51:05She can stay at home with a jest egg.
00:51:07That's all she's good for.
00:51:09Get out!
00:51:11Both of you!
00:51:13Dare you!
00:51:15If you ever speak about my wife like that again,
00:51:17I swear I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground
00:51:19before I let either of you touch it.
00:51:21Adrian!
00:51:25Be reasonable!
00:51:27She is worth a thousand up here.
00:51:29Tomorrow, 9am.
00:51:31Vivian starts.
00:51:33No discussion.
00:51:35Is that all?
00:51:37For now,
00:51:39don't disappoint me again.
00:51:41Stop it! Stop checking!
00:51:55I was independent before him.
00:51:57I didn't need someone to create a meal plan for me
00:52:01or hold me while I sleep.
00:52:03No.
00:52:05I'm not gonna be that girl.
00:52:07I can work on my own.
00:52:09You know, I don't need his...
00:52:11arranged mincer, his...
00:52:13dental care, I...
00:52:15just a tool for a baby.
00:52:17Ah!
00:52:18Mm.
00:52:19So Lila and Adrian's relationship is on the rocks.
00:52:34Well, if it isn't the perfect opportunity to gain her trust
00:52:38and trick her back to me...
00:52:41Lila!
00:52:42I'm fine.
00:52:43You're not fine.
00:52:44You're not fine.
00:52:45Well, if it isn't the perfect opportunity to gain her trust
00:52:46You're not fine.
00:52:48Hospital.
00:52:49Now.
00:52:50Put me down.
00:52:51Put me down.
00:52:58Thank you for bringing me here.
00:53:00I know we've had our differences.
00:53:04I'm like...
00:53:05Now you used to look at me like this.
00:53:08So sweet and sincere.
00:53:10No.
00:53:11Why not?
00:53:13You're telling me there's really nothing still between us.
00:53:16Ethan.
00:53:17He's using you, Lila.
00:53:19Yeah, I know I've messed up, but...
00:53:21Seeing the way he treats you, it's tearing me apart.
00:53:27Ethan, you...
00:53:28Adrian, stop!
00:53:31What are you doing?
00:53:32I'm protecting you!
00:53:33Ethan, help me!
00:53:34He found me bleeding and brought me here.
00:53:36Now you're defending him?
00:53:37I'm defending the truth.
00:53:39Sometimes people surprise you.
00:53:42I see.
00:53:44Adrian.
00:53:44I'll get the doctor.
00:53:47Adrian.
00:53:47I want a full blood work, fetal monitoring, and get the OBGYN down here.
00:53:58So, it's just a minor cough.
00:54:02I want to get a complete prenatal checkup.
00:54:04I've already called Dr. Reynolds.
00:54:06She'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:54:07So bossy.
00:54:09No, some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:54:12None of those beach dates we used to have.
00:54:15You said I was the best.
00:54:20Thompson, call in the catering.
00:54:23Yeah, the one in the push list.
00:54:26Lila's been cravings.
00:54:28Medium fatty cut.
00:54:30No, what's up?
00:54:31I didn't say those.
00:54:33The prenatal vitamins I researched should arrive shortly.
00:54:36They're custom formulated for a Lila flood type and genetic makeup.
00:54:45Everything's already being taken care of.
00:54:48You can defend him.
00:54:49If he touches you, Reagan.
00:54:52I'll be there.
00:54:53I didn't mean to.
00:54:56Hello?
00:54:56But...
00:54:57Vivian was sick.
00:55:06I gave her a key and let her rest at our place.
00:55:09Overwork, they say.
00:55:11I'm cleaning up your company's mess.
00:55:13I have meetings.
00:55:16Well, cancel them.
00:55:18You're going to take care of her now.
00:55:20No negotiation.
00:55:21Well, either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you.
00:55:27Or I'll call an emergency board meeting.
00:55:34You can skip the performance, Vivian.
00:55:37It's still so cold.
00:55:40Remember the first time you bought me flowers?
00:55:43Yeah, that was a long time ago.
00:55:47Adrian, we could be that again.
00:55:51Whatever game you're playing here, it won't work.
00:55:59Get out.
00:56:00I don't want my fiance seeing you here.
00:56:04Maybe I was wrong.
00:56:06I should have trusted him.
00:56:07I should have given him a chance to explain.
00:56:13Because some things never change.
00:56:15Lila.
00:56:31Lila.
00:56:32Hi, Dad.
00:56:39Your hand.
00:56:40It's nothing.
00:56:43Dad, I have something I want to tell you.
00:56:49I'm having a baby.
00:56:50You're going to be a grandpa.
00:56:53Is that one of Ethan's boys?
00:56:55No, not him.
00:56:56Then who?
00:56:58It 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.
00:57:09Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry.
00:57:12I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you.
00:57:14If I was healthier, if I could work.
00:57:17Dad, it's okay.
00:57:19The hospital bills.
00:57:20Where are you going to get the money from?
00:57:23How are you going to pay for them?
00:57:26Please tell me you didn't sell yourself to someone.
00:57:29No, Dad, it isn't like that.
00:57:31Did someone take advantage of you?
00:57:33My little girl, pregnant and alone.
00:57:36She's not alone.
00:57:43Adrian.
00:57:44Mr. Reid.
00:57:45I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:57:47I'm the father of the child.
00:57:50Not just the father.
00:57:52I'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.
00:57:59Pretty words from a rich man.
00:58:01Not words.
00:58:04Facts.
00:58:05I've already arranged for you to be transferred to a private medical facility.
00:58:09Full treatment plan.
00:58:10The very best specialists.
00:58:12Adrian.
00:58:13And I promise you this.
00:58:15Every morning, your daughter will wake up knowing that she's cherished.
00:58:20Every decision I make, every step I take, will be to ensure her happiness.
00:58:26You really mean her, don't you?
00:58:30Yes, I do.
00:58:33Well, maybe I don't have to worry so much anymore.
00:58:42Saying all that, I know you were just trying to make my dad feel better, but...
00:58:49I wasn't just trying to do anything.
00:58:52Everything I said was true.
00:58:55I thought you were just worried about me breaking the contract.
00:58:59Arlene, you have to understand something.
00:59:02I have been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
00:59:08Yes, we had a contract.
00:59:13But I realized you've become everything to me.
00:59:17Not my surrogate.
00:59:19Not my pretend fiancé.
00:59:23If you're willing, would you like to forget the contract and become my real wife?
00:59:38Did she come and see you?
00:59:44Did she hurt you?
00:59:45No.
00:59:46Just...
00:59:47Wasn't she your true love?
00:59:50I saw you taking care of her.
00:59:51What?
00:59:52I have nothing to do with her anymore.
00:59:55Yes, my father asked her over, but I kicked her out.
00:59:58I haven't had feelings for her since we broke up.
01:00:01Really?
01:00:02Really?
01:00:02Really?
01:00:08I don't care if it tears me apart.
01:00:10I'm not letting you go.
01:00:12From the dead go.
01:00:13Not ever.
01:00:14I think we're past trying to hide who we are.
01:00:22Surrogacy?
01:00:23Contract 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...
01:00:39It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:00:42Your perfect uncle?
01:00:43He hired her.
01:00:45She'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.
01:01:02Until then, we need to find some evidence.
01:01:05And once he's ruined?
01:01:09I'll comfort him.
01:01:10Help him rebuild, of course.
01:01:12Show him who really belongs by his side.
01:01:15And Lila?
01:01:17Once the truce out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:01:20You can have your little toy back.
01:01:22Thankfully, Mr. Crawford gave me the key.
01:01:36Surrogatically moot.
01:01:57Rindical history.
01:01:58There must be some evidence somewhere.
01:02:04Adrian's always so organized.
01:02:08Where are the important documents?
01:02:09Adrian?
01:02:23Is that you?
01:02:28Shit.
01:02:29Oh, Adrian.
01:02:30Oh, shit.
01:02:37Vivian.
01:02:39Oh, Adrian.
01:02:41What are you doing here?
01:02:43I was just looking for you.
01:02:45You know, Adrian, if it's an heir you want,
01:02:49you can make one right now.
01:02:53Poor Lila doesn't have to know.
01:02:55She's already asleep.
01:02:57It'll be our little secret.
01:03:02Here.
01:03:03In the hallway.
01:03:04Wherever you want, darling.
01:03:06What if someone sees us?
01:03:08Scared.
01:03:10I know somewhere up in the room.
01:03:13Private.
01:03:19Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:03:24Adrian?
01:03:27Adrian!
01:03:28Enjoy the storage closet.
01:03:30Adrian!
01:03:45How'd it go?
01:03:47Just drive.
01:03:48Guessed as much.
01:03:49Don't worry.
01:03:50I've got a new plan now.
01:03:51Dr. 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,
01:04:09intimacy is perfectly safe.
01:04:13Oh.
01:04:15Listen to your buddies and then...
01:04:17Thanks.
01:04:17Thanks, Doc.
01:04:18Thanks.
01:04:19Thanks.
01:04:19Let's talk about the scene Sinclair's arrangement.
01:04:38Was it a contract surrogacy?
01:04:40Mr. Harrington, I can't discuss patient information.
01:04:45I hear the hospital is opening up a new wing.
01:04:47It would be a shame if your name mysteriously disappeared in the best room.
01:04:55Won't it?
01:04:58Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:01Oh, my God.
01:05:13Oh, my God.
01:05:22Surrogacy?
01:05:24Surrogacy?
01:05:25Five generations.
01:05:30Four for dignity.
01:05:32All trash by a tabloid scandal.
01:05:36A surrogate?
01:05:37You used a surrogate to gain the inheritance?
01:05:41If that's what you wanted, Adrian, why didn't you just say it?
01:05:44Why drag the family's name through the mud?
01:05:46This isn't true.
01:05:48This isn't true.
01:05:50It's nothing but a malicious rumor.
01:05:53Don't believe everything you see in the news.
01:05:56Lila and I...
01:05:58We're in love.
01:06:02Your lives stop here, Uncle.
01:06:04Grandfather, the files.
01:06:10Proving their contract.
01:06:12Lila isn't his fiance.
01:06:14She's just a surrogate who got hired to bear an heir.
01:06:19Medical files.
01:06:21From Crawford Fertility Center.
01:06:23They show Ms. Reed undergoing IVF treatment.
01:06:27And was generously compensated.
01:06:32A surrogate?
01:06:33How vulgar.
01:06:35You dare deceive me with this, filth?
01:06:38Dragging the four-foot name through the mud?
01:06:41I'll deal with it.
01:06:43All right.
01:06:44How?
01:06:45God knows what else you schemed.
01:06:48Actually, I might have a solution.
01:06:52Replace Adrian's fiance with me.
01:06:54Let 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.
01:07:14Or you give up your shares and get out.
01:07:18Adrian, I always get the man I want.
01:07:24Now that if he does this, he 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.
01:07:46But 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.
01:08:08Say it!
01:08:10You want to give up everything for her?
01:08:12Give up your inheritance.
01:08:14Everything goes to Ethan.
01:08:15Adrian!
01:08:19You're giving up your inheritance just for her?
01:08:22Are you insane?
01:08:24I 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?
01:08:43Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:08:52Don't look.
01:08:54I'm not worth giving up your future.
01:08:56You are my future.
01:08:59You're my everything.
01:09:01You and our child.
01:09:03Let's go.
01:09:16Let's go.
01:09:26Adrian.
01:09:27Hey, what's wrong?
01:09:30Don't tell me you only love me for my CEO status and my money.
01:09:34No, I can make more money.
01:09:36You know, I'm kind of excited to be your sugar mommy.
01:09:40I've always wanted a sugar mommy.
01:09:41I...
01:09:41Wait, yeah, I was going to grab somebody from the car.
01:09:44Okay.
01:09:56What are you doing here?
01:09:57Why?
01:09:59What does she have that I don't?
01:10:01Why do you always choose her?
01:10:03It's simple.
01:10:04I love her.
01:10:06Not you.
01:10:07Adrian, please.
01:10:09I was wrong.
01:10:10I love her.
01:10:11Fuck.
01:10:16Fuck.
01:10:37Fuck.
01:10:38Fuck.
01:10:38Fuck.
01:10:39Fuck.
01:10:39Hey.
01:10:42Hi.
01:10:44Beautiful.
01:10:50Yeah, it is.
01:11:00Milo, were you?
01:11:02Yes, of course.
01:11:09When did you get this?
01:11:16Back when I realized I'd give up everything for you.
01:11:36How's it going?
01:11:38Good.
01:11:39Just finished my last sketch.
01:11:41I didn't hear Sugar Mommy just landed another big deal.
01:11:50Yeah?
01:11:51Adrian, come back to the Crawford family.
01:11:54Come back to your position and your inheritance.
01:11:59What do you mean you're canceling the contract?
01:12:05We've been partners for ten years.
01:12:12Grandfather, no.
01:12:13Please don't call Adrian.
01:12:17So you want me to come back?
01:12:18I'm sorry to come back.
01:12:19I have to ask my wife.
01:12:24What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:12:26First order of business today.
01:12:34What is this?
01:12:35Starting without me.
01:12:36Perfect timing.
01:12:37I was just announcing your termination.
01:12:41The company crisis last month turns out wasn't an accident.
01:12:45Ethan deliberately sabotaged every deal.
01:12:48There's no proof.
01:12:49You misappropriated partnership funds to indulge in your own personal affairs.
01:12:55Bad investments, shady deals, and reckless spending have led us to financial setbacks and operational setbacks.
01:13:02And it's all documented right here.
01:13:10The lawsuit's already been filed.
01:13:12What?
01:13:14You actually did this?
01:13:16No, Grandfather.
01:13:17He's lying.
01:13:18It's all a lie.
01:13:21Dad.
01:13:22Either you let me handle this my way.
01:13:25Or I can still walk.
01:13:26Adrian.
01:13:27Mr. Crawford, the vote for new director.
01:13:42Competence is everything.
01:13:46I'm getting old.
01:13:48And from now on, Adrian will handle everything.
01:13:53No.
01:13:54Don't listen to him.
01:13:55Don't listen to him.
01:13:56Please.
01:13:57You're making a mistake.
01:13:58Where are you going?
01:14:02My company.
01:14:03You hear that?
01:14:04My fucking company.
01:14:05Come back.
01:14:11The baby's asleep.
01:14:13Guess that means I get you all to myself.
01:14:17Don't distract me.
01:14:19I'm almost finished.
01:14:21I'm denying my wedding dress.
01:14:23Incredible.
01:14:25I might hire you to design my tux.
01:14:29You know, I think I'm going to have to check my schedule.
01:14:33Oh, it's like that.
01:14:37I still can't believe we're getting married.
01:14:40Ever since you crashed into me at the hospital, I haven't been able to get you out of my head.
01:14:43And soon I'll be able to love you openly and officially for the rest of my life.
01:14:50Uh, practicing your vows?
01:14:53Yeah.
01:14:57Can we practice the kiss as well?
01:14:59If we have to.
01:15:00If we have to.
01:15:14Your father said, no fiancé by Christmas.
01:15:17No inheritance.
01:15:18Do you really want to give all of that up?
01:15:26Everybody?
01:15:27This is my new girlfriend.
01:15:30You didn't tell me your parents were this rich.
01:15:34I brought you all a basket from the Miller Farm.
01:15:36A bottom.
01:15:37A bottom.
