00:00:00Miss Ri, your ovaries aren't doing their best lately, this could be the start of ovarian failure.
00:00:09Ovarian failure? I mean I'm so young, is this gonna 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.
00:00:52Every part of me, I'm young.
00:01:04Early ovarian failure at 25?
00:01:07If someone sees this, die of embarrassment.
00:01:13Sorry.
00:01:14Are you okay?
00:01:15Yeah, I'm fine.
00:01:17Oh my god!
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?
00:01:42Oh, 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?
00:02:08Sweetheart.
00:02:12You 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?
00:02:42I don't need a man to have my dreams come true.
00:02:46One appointment.
00:02:48One sperm donor.
00:02:50And 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.
00:03:08Is there...
00:03:09The surrogate candidates have all been vetted thoroughly.
00:03:11I mean...
00:03:13Ivy 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.
00:03:31It's you.
00:03:32Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:03:37Oh, um...
00:03:39Right, well, let's get started.
00:03:42Um...
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...
00:04:01Just being thorough.
00:04:02This is about making a healthy baby, after all.
00:04:07Gosh, why are men almost so full of themselves?
00:04:10Um...
00:04:11Um, sir, I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:04:14I need to know about your...
00:04:16Reproductive history.
00:04:18Sexual partners in the last six months?
00:04:19Mr. Crawford, I can show her out.
00:04:21It's okay.
00:04:22Compton, you can leave us.
00:04:23Okay.
00:04:25What are you doing?
00:04:32I'm making sure this is...
00:04:34thorough.
00:04:39Harvard Business School.
00:04:40MBA.
00:04:41Top of my class.
00:04:43No family history of any genetic disorders.
00:04:45I work out five times a week.
00:04:47Crossfit.
00:04:48Yoga.
00:04:49Rock climbing.
00:04:50Cycling.
00:04:51As for...
00:04:53Intimate matters.
00:04:54I can assure you that performance has never been a problem.
00:04:58Now that Thompson's gone, are you comfortable sharing yours?
00:05:01Um...
00:05:02Of course.
00:05:03I'm perfectly healthy too.
00:05:05I know kinetic conditions.
00:05:06I get checkups regularly.
00:05:08I haven't started taking prenatal vitamins.
00:05:12Good.
00:05:13I...
00:05:14I have to say...
00:05:15You're a perfect match.
00:05:16How about...
00:05:17In regards to compensation, have you got a figure in mind?
00:05:20Well, I was thinking...
00:05:22Eight hundred?
00:05:23Dollars?
00:05:24Eight hundred dollars?
00:05:26Well...
00:05:28I was expecting a figure...
00:05:31Much higher than that.
00:05:32I know it's not much, but...
00:05:34You know...
00:05:36Considering the quality...
00:05:37And I could help out in other ways.
00:05:38I could do your paperwork, or...
00:05:41Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:05:53Are you serious?
00:05:55All this?
00:05:56Take your time reviewing, but the key point is...
00:05:58After birth, the child stays with me.
00:06:00No contact.
00:06:01Are you...
00:06:02Are you kidding me?
00:06:03You wanna keep my baby?
00:06:06Are you kidding me?
00:06:07Are you kidding me?
00:06:08You wanna keep my baby?
00:06:09My baby!
00:06:11Is this some kind of sick joke?
00:06:13That's standard procedure for a surrogacy agreement.
00:06:16Surrogacy what?
00:06:17Surrogacy!
00:06:18The position that you're interviewing for.
00:06:20Interviewing? No, I came here to buy sperm.
00:06:24You came to what?
00:06:29Oh my God.
00:06:31I?
00:06:35I thought you were a donor.
00:06:36That is why I came here to ask you all those questions about your...
00:06:40Qualifications.
00:06:42And I thought you were applying to be my surrogate.
00:06:45I am...
00:06:47So sorry about all the confusion.
00:06:49I...
00:06:52I'm gonna go.
00:06:53A million dollars.
00:06:54For caring my child.
00:06:55I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:06:56Not somebody else's.
00:06:57Next.
00:06:58Miss Reed.
00:06:59Your father.
00:07:00You need to come now.
00:07:01You need to come now.
00:07:02You need to come now.
00:07:04You need to come now.
00:07:05You need to come now.
00:07:07You need to come now.
00:07:08You need to come now.
00:07:09You need to come now.
00:07:10You need to me.
00:07:11You need to come now.
00:07:12I need to come now.
00:07:14You need to come now.
00:07:16Miss Reed, your father.
00:07:23You need to come now.
00:07:35It's going to be okay, Dad.
00:07:37You're going to be okay.
00:07:38I'm not afraid to die.
00:07:42I'm just afraid to leave you.
00:07:46I'm not alone.
00:07:47Dad?
00:07:49Dad?
00:07:50Doctor!
00:07:51Help, please!
00:08:00A doctor, my father.
00:08:02How is he?
00:08:03The cancer has spread aggressively, without immediate treatment.
00:08:07Then treat him.
00:08:08Now.
00:08:08The full course of treatment will cost approximately $1 million.
00:08:12Aristocratic etiquette training, influencer, bachelor in economics.
00:08:19Yeah, right.
00:08:20She's underage.
00:08:21Is this the last batch?
00:08:22Yes, sir.
00:08:23The brunette asked about ring sizes.
00:08:25Blonde.
00:08:26All she asked about were the names.
00:08:28And the redhead.
00:08:29All of them just wanted.
00:08:30Crawford name.
00:08:31But none of them are suitable.
00:08:38This one was refreshing.
00:08:42She was real.
00:08:44No schemes.
00:08:46Well, Mr. Crawford, she wasn't here for servicing.
00:08:48Sometimes the best candidates aren't looking for the job.
00:08:51Oh, my God.
00:08:52A million dollars?
00:08:53I...
00:08:54Maybe I could get a loan?
00:08:56A million dollars for caring my child.
00:09:17Hello?
00:09:18Lila Reid.
00:09:19This is Adrienne Crawford.
00:09:20I saw us thinking about the other day.
00:09:32I think I may have been a little hasty.
00:09:36You're reconsidering?
00:09:37I look so smug.
00:09:38I just...
00:09:41I have my reasons.
00:09:45As do I.
00:09:46I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:09:54What kind of modification?
00:09:56Joint custody.
00:09:58As well as caring the child you'd be its mother.
00:10:04Why would you do that?
00:10:06You're direct.
00:10:07Honest.
00:10:08No hidden agendas.
00:10:10Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:10:12So...
00:10:16I'd really be a part of the baby's life?
00:10:19Yes.
00:10:20But just to be clear,
00:10:22we'll be parents.
00:10:23Nothing more.
00:10:25No emotional entanglements.
00:10:26No romantic expectations.
00:10:28Please don't flatter yourself.
00:10:32Father.
00:10:34The board is getting impatient.
00:10:37Have you considered the arrangement that I suggested?
00:10:40I have my own plans.
00:10:41Hey,
00:10:42if you're thinking of using some random surrogate
00:10:45to produce an error,
00:10:47forget it.
00:10:48The Crawford name means something.
00:10:51I won't have it tainted by...
00:10:54I've already chosen my fiancée.
00:10:57What?
00:10:58I will talk about it again.
00:11:00I'm sorry.
00:11:02Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiancée?
00:11:06Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiancée?
00:11:11I...
00:11:11Didn't somebody just say,
00:11:15just parents, nothing more?
00:11:17The situation requires...
00:11:20adaptation.
00:11:22Is that CEO speak for I changed my mind?
00:11:25You'll need a convincing story.
00:11:26You'll stay at my house during the pregnancy.
00:11:28Okay.
00:11:30Um...
00:11:31What about after?
00:11:33We'll arrange an amicable split.
00:11:36Continue co-parenting.
00:11:37I'll provide additional compensation for the complexity.
00:11:41No, the original match is fine.
00:11:42It's just...
00:11:43I do need it soon.
00:11:51So?
00:11:51So?
00:11:51So?
00:12:13Welcome to the family, Ms. Reed.
00:12:22We were heightened.
00:12:23We were heightened.
00:12:43My whole apartment could fit in this hallway.
00:12:55Well, well.
00:12:57Missed me so much, you had to track me down.
00:13:02Couldn't get over me, huh?
00:13:05Had to follow me here like a lost puppy dog.
00:13:09Followed you?
00:13:10No, I didn't...
00:13:11Wait, what are you doing here?
00:13:13What am I doing here?
00:13:14Sweetheart, you should know better.
00:13:16This is my family's home.
00:13:21You were so mad last time I saw you.
00:13:24Now I find you wandering around.
00:13:28I finally realized what you were missing, huh?
00:13:30Get your hands off me.
00:13:33Playing hard to get.
00:13:35Now that was cute before, but now...
00:13:39Come on, baby.
00:13:40This is what you really came in for.
00:13:43All right?
00:13:49Uncle!
00:13:51What are you doing?
00:13:52Your filthy hands off of my fiancée.
00:13:58Fiancée?
00:13:59Uncle?
00:13:59Fiancée?
00:14:04No way.
00:14:07She is just...
00:14:08Shut your mouth.
00:14:10Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:14:14Come on.
00:14:15This is crazy.
00:14:18You seriously don't know.
00:14:19I won't repeat myself.
00:14:24Stay away from my fiancée.
00:14:28One more word and you can kiss your trust when goodbye.
00:14:30Are you all right?
00:14:46Yeah.
00:14:47Yeah, I'm fine.
00:14:48I just...
00:14:52Ethan's your nephew?
00:14:54And he's your...
00:14:54Well...
00:14:57He may have been kind of...
00:15:00My boyfriend.
00:15:03Ex.
00:15:04Ex-boyfriend.
00:15:05Very ex.
00:15:06Extremely ex.
00:15:07I see.
00:15:09Thompson will bring your things up shortly.
00:15:11Thanks.
00:15:12Um...
00:15:13Where will I be staying?
00:15:16Here.
00:15:16What?
00:15:23Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple are sleeping in separate rooms.
00:15:28Oh.
00:15:31Right.
00:15:32Fake engagement.
00:15:34Real roommates.
00:15:37This is the line.
00:15:39Don't cross it.
00:15:40Ever.
00:15:41I wasn't planning on it.
00:15:42Good.
00:15:43Didn't want you to.
00:15:44Good.
00:15:45I won't.
00:15:45Okay.
00:15:46See?
00:16:02My brilliant plan work.
00:16:06Wait.
00:16:07How did I?
00:16:10So our new project in Singapore has been blooming.
00:16:13I mean, we have some meetings for you to attend.
00:16:16We have to discuss our future plans with the board members.
00:16:18Sir?
00:16:24You okay?
00:16:26Achoo!
00:16:27Jesus Christ!
00:16:29You okay?
00:16:30Yeah.
00:16:30We're fine.
00:16:31Continue.
00:16:32Okay.
00:16:33So, the meeting.
00:16:34Singapore.
00:16:34Layla.
00:16:34Stay on your side.
00:16:35Stay on your side.
00:16:50Layla.
00:16:52Layla, wake up.
00:16:53Layla.
00:17:01Layla.
00:17:01Layla.
00:17:09Layla.
00:17:11Oh
00:17:41Okay, maintain control.
00:17:55That's cold.
00:17:57That's cold.
00:18:02Sorry, didn't see you.
00:18:10It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:15Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancée.
00:18:19Mrs Crawford.
00:18:23Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:36Tell 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?
00:18:55Unless, of course, it was a business arrangement.
00:18:58I'm sorry?
00:19:00A girl in your position surely would have negotiated.
00:19:10The only negotiations was whether I'd take his last name or keep mine.
00:19:14Well then, next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:19You, as Adrian's fiancée, would be expected to attend.
00:19:26I'd be honored.
00:19:27Wonderful.
00:19:28I'm sure you can find something suitable to wear.
00:19:32Helen, make sure to take good care of your mistress.
00:19:41Excuse me, Miss Reed, need to clean.
00:19:55Oh, of course, let me just get my stuff out of your way.
00:20:02Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:05How creative.
00:20:09Must be harder than your family watching you change a rich man.
00:20:13As a maid, maybe you should just focus on your own job.
00:20:15My business is none of your concern.
00:20:21Oh, how clumsy of me.
00:20:26Stop it!
00:20:28Really?
00:20:29The thing is you could just marry a rich man,
00:20:31you're just trash trying to climb a social ladder.
00:20:35Hey!
00:20:36Mr. Crawford!
00:20:39She was trying to attack me.
00:20:44I'm just trying to help.
00:20:45Get out.
00:20:46I'm sorry.
00:20:47Can't explain.
00:20:48One more word and you're fired.
00:20:49Get out.
00:20:54What happened?
00:20:56Nothing.
00:20:57I just...
00:20:59I need some space.
00:21:02I'll stay in the guest room tonight.
00:21:03Lali, you don't have to.
00:21:04Please.
00:21:07I need some time alone.
00:21:08No, you stay.
00:21:10I'll sleep on the side.
00:21:20I miss her so much, Daddy.
00:21:22Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:25As long as we can get you better,
00:21:27I will if they were to get to me.
00:21:29I promise.
00:21:30Lali, what happened?
00:21:31What should I do?
00:21:33Lali, what happened?
00:21:35What should I do?
00:21:37Lali, what happened?
00:21:38Lali, what happened?
00:21:39What should I do?
00:21:40What should I do?
00:21:54How's the happy couple today?
00:21:55No worries, it's just a small pinch that is not small
00:22:25Mr. Crawford, it is your time for the sperm collection
00:22:46Okay, how do we do this? What equipment do we need?
00:22:49No need, just head to the correction room and use your hand
00:22:53Okay
00:22:53And pretend she's not right out that door
00:23:17Mr. Crawford, are you all right in there?
00:23:23I'm fine, I just need some assistance
00:23:30Oh, do you need help?
00:23:34No, wait, I didn't mean
00:23:35Are you sure? I can come in there
00:23:37Okay, come in
00:23:47So, do you want to help?
00:24:01Yeah, what can I?
00:24:04Oh my god, you thought...
00:24:06No, no, no, I didn't go
00:24:08Um, I didn't...
00:24:10I, um, I'm...
00:24:12I'm...
00:24:13I'm gonna go
00:24:15I'm gonna go
00:24:16I'm gonna go so far away
00:24:18Helpful
00:24:20Are you okay?
00:24:36Dr. Anderson said the hormone shots might hurt a little, but...
00:24:39You're in pain
00:24:40It's just some discomfort, it'll pass
00:24:42I'll be okay
00:24:43Here, this should help
00:24:50Thank you
00:24:57Um, well, the hormone shots were part of the agreement
00:25:11So any resulting discomfort is technically a work-related issue
00:25:15And as your employer, I have a duty of care
00:25:18If you don't lose anyonos, you know...
00:25:19You could be okay
00:25:21Well, I don't do an
00:25:44Even if you don't take it
00:25:47Purely professional care.
00:26:13Purely professional care.
00:26:17Purely professional care.
00:26:24Adrian, wait. About this weekend.
00:26:26Sorry, emergency in Atlanta. The merger's falling apart.
00:26:29What?
00:26:30Thompson, have the jet ready in 20.
00:26:32Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:34Now you know what?
00:26:36I can do it myself.
00:26:40I don't suppose that we could expect punctuality
00:26:44from someone who has never owned a watch in her entire life.
00:26:51I introduced him to the Thompson Harris.
00:26:53Senator's daughter.
00:26:55I don't know why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:26:59Ethan, what did you say that she does? A fashion designer?
00:27:05Worse.
00:27:06Seamstress.
00:27:08She probably thinks having the proper family do her name will raise her to the top and then she can have her own fashion show.
00:27:15If she's poor, fine. But no sense of time either.
00:27:20I need to have a serious talk with Adrian.
00:27:23Probably just staying for a wardrobe. Can't find something to wear.
00:27:27A fashion designer scrounging around for an outfit. How 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 and our beautiful home.
00:27:45I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:51Go get her now.
00:28:02Every part of me, I'm yours.
00:28:12Do everything.
00:28:14Apologies for the delay.
00:28:24My, my, my. Trying hard to get the part.
00:28:27James, make sure none of the silver is missing after dinner.
00:28:37At least we know that Adrian's credit card is being put to good use.
00:28:44Although money can buy you designer clothing, it can't buy you a good upbringing.
00:28:51Actually, I made the dress myself.
00:28:53The little seamstress that you are. How quaint.
00:28:57At least we know who will be darning.
00:29:00Adrian sucks.
00:29:04You know, I wasn't brought up into wealth, but 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?
00:29:16How much, how much would it take for you to disappear? Name your price.
00:29:28Mr. Crawford, I believe that's the difference between you and me.
00:29:30I don't think everything can leave a lot of money.
00:29:36Excuse me.
00:29:48Stay calm.
00:29:50You got this.
00:29:52I'll dress up for me, baby.
00:29:53I need to get back to dinner.
00:29:54What's the rush?
00:29:55We're all family here.
00:29:56Almost family.
00:29:57Don't touch me.
00:29:58You used to like it when I touched you.
00:29:59Remember how shy you were?
00:30:00Always saying no.
00:30:01Let go of me, you creep.
00:30:02Eh?
00:30:03Careful now.
00:30:04One scream and everyone at dinner will find out what kind of a girl you really are.
00:30:08And our love history.
00:30:09Oh!
00:30:10Oh!
00:30:11Oh!
00:30:13Is everything okay?
00:30:15You look a bit flustered.
00:30:17Oh, no.
00:30:18I'm sorry.
00:30:19I'm sorry.
00:30:20No.
00:30:21But I'm sorry.
00:30:22Oh, no.
00:30:23I'm sorry.
00:30:24You're sorry.
00:30:25No.
00:30:26I'm sorry.
00:30:27I'm sorry.
00:30:28I'm sorry.
00:30:29I'm sorry.
00:30:30You're sorry.
00:30:31No.
00:30:32I'm sorry.
00:30:33No.
00:30:34No.
00:30:35No.
00:30:36No.
00:30:37As I was saying, about the wills, aren't you?
00:30:45Stop it.
00:30:47Something wrong with us, Reed?
00:30:57Enough! No manners, no class.
00:31:00I 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.
00:31:18Adrian.
00:31:19If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:31:24You wanna know how we met?
00:31:26She crashed into my life, quite 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.
00:31:35She's not into money.
00:31:37Even if someone dropped a million dollars at her feet, she wouldn't have been blank.
00:31:41For carrying my child.
00:31:43I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:31:47Not somebody else's.
00:31:49And she's tough.
00:31:50Even after everything you did to humiliate her.
00:31:53She didn't walk away in anger.
00:31:54And she's still here.
00:31:56I thought you were supposed to be in Atlanta.
00:31:58How did you...
00:32:01Sir.
00:32:02Two 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 Atlanta.
00:32:12Sir.
00:32:13Sir.
00:32:14Is that the...
00:32:16Andrew.
00:32:17Yes, sir.
00:32:18Yes, sir.
00:32:19What a touching story, Uncle.
00:32:34Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:32:38What are you talking about?
00:32:40We've been dating for three years.
00:32:44See?
00:32:53So, clearly she planned all this.
00:32:56Dated me first to get to know the family.
00:32:58And now, well, set her sights higher.
00:33:01Manipulative 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.
00:33:09Right?
00:33:12You're right.
00:33:14We did date for three years, but you were cheating on me.
00:33:16For two of them.
00:33:21What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:23Nudes?
00:33:27What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:29Nudes?
00:33:30Or do you record videos?
00:33:32That was for every lie you just told.
00:33:39You Lila!
00:33:42How dare you, Adrian, hit my son!
00:33:48Lila.
00:33:51Where do you think you're going?
00:33:52No way?
00:33:53We're not finished yet.
00:33:55Yes, we are.
00:34:01Oh, I'm sorry.
00:34:02I should have never left you alone with my family.
00:34:04It's okay.
00:34:07Thank you for coming back.
00:34:09And for all the kind lies you said about us.
00:34:11What happened to your hands?
00:34:12Oh, 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.
00:34:23Okay.
00:34:27Sit down.
00:34:28Let me have a look at that.
00:34:29Okay.
00:34:32As my fiance, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:36I expect you to use them.
00:34:39I didn't want to assume.
00:34:43You're Crawford now.
00:34:47I'm blank.
00:35:00Dr. Anderson.
00:35:02Mr. Crawford.
00:35:03The psychos are ready.
00:35:05We can proceed with the implementation tomorrow morning.
00:35:07I see.
00:35:09What is it?
00:35:10Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:12That's what I've been thinking.
00:35:14Perhaps we could approach this in a more natural manner.
00:35:19That's something.
00:35:26So, what do you think?
00:35:29You will.
00:35:32Um.
00:35:34We should probably get some sleep.
00:35:36You know, the procedure.
00:35:39Oh.
00:35:41Good night, Mr. Crawford.
00:35:54You don't need to be so nervous.
00:35:56Mrs. Crawford, try to relax.
00:35:57Can I open up the chin?
00:36:00It might feel a bit cold.
00:36:03Is it cold?
00:36:08The white little spot?
00:36:10Yeah?
00:36:11It's our baby.
00:36:14Really?
00:36:15I can't walk, you know.
00:36:16The doctor said to stay off your feet.
00:36:17Complete rest.
00:36:18You seem more nervous than I am.
00:36:19Hey, I'm just following medical protocol.
00:36:20Ethan.
00:36:21Ethan.
00:36:22In order to claim your inheritance, you have to be dead.
00:36:23I can't walk, you know.
00:36:24The doctor said to stay off your feet.
00:36:25Complete rest.
00:36:26The 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. No matter what it takes.
00:36:52Maybe finding the chance to get her back into my arms is the best way.
00:37:01raline?
00:37:02Oh nooooh.
00:37:03What?
00:37:04I leave.
00:37:06Oh nooooh.

00:43:16I'm sorry, you are...
00:43:18Just someone who wants Adrian's happiness.
00:43:21More than anything.
00:43:26Oh my God.
00:43:27You two are finally back together.
00:43:29Everyone, look who is here.
00:43:32The golden couple.
00:43:34I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged.
00:43:38I knew it must be you, Vivian.
00:43:41It's a perfect match.
00:43:43Just like a harvard.
00:43:45Where's your wedding?
00:43:51Actually, I'd like everyone to meet my fiancé.
00:43:57Lila Reid.
00:43:59We're expecting our first child.
00:44:01And yes, you're all invited to the wedding.
00:44:04She's pregnant?
00:44:10I'm so sorry.
00:44:12I just assumed my congratulations to you both.
00:44:17Okay, I'm...
00:44:18I want to talk to you both.
00:44:19It's...
00:44:20Marginally black.
00:44:21I don't know.
00:44:30They could be so judgmental, can't they?
00:44:32Don't take us personally, dear.
00:44:33I do look like the perfect couple.
00:44:47I know he'd do anything for her, you can save her from the pains of childbirth.
00:45:06Look. Aren't they the perfect couple? You know, he'd do anything for her. Even save
00:45:15her from the pains of childbirth. Yeah, they've been real happy ever since she
00:45:23got back. Get it now, don't you? He's just using you to have a baby so that she
00:45:33doesn't have to. You're so naïve. So I'm just a tool to have a baby?
00:45:48I don't want my fiance thinking there's anything between it.
00:46:03What do you think you're doing? You're pregnant. Why are you drinking?
00:46:11Why do you care? It's soda, okay? I know what I'm doing.
00:46:23What happened back there? I talked to you. Lila, I'm worried.
00:46:28What? So you'll talk to Ethan but not me? When you were having such a lovely chat
00:46:34with your girlfriend back there, did you even notice I was there?
00:46:41Lila, I'm worried about you. Worried about me or worried about your baby?
00:46:51Worried about me or worried about your baby? What's that supposed to mean, man?
00:46:55You know, is that why you've been so nice to be all of a sudden giving me snacks and being
00:46:59protected? What? Because I'm carrying your child? Lila, why are you acting so weird since
00:47:03yesterday? Did you date Vivian? Yes. And now she wants to get back together with
00:47:07you? Yes. So what? Am I just some replacement for her? Is that why you were looking for a
00:47:11surrogate? Yes, I wanted a surrogate but it wasn't for Vivian. It was- No, you know what?
00:47:16I get it. I get it. Follow the contract, have your baby.
00:47:23Thompson. Sir, sorry to bother you at night. The Singapore merger is falling apart. We need
00:47:28you here immediately. I'm in the middle of something. I can't- The board is threatening to pull out.
00:47:35Okay, I'll be there.
00:47:42Isla, we need to talk about this. As soon as I get back. Sure. Business first.
00:47:50Sir, there have been some complications. Explain. Well, during your absence, Ethan has been meeting
00:47:58with board members suggesting that your sudden marriage plans may indicate that you're unstable
00:48:02to run the company. Sir, several executives have questioned if somebody so personally invested
00:48:07could run the company.
00:48:09Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing- My personal life? Your sudden absence has- Let me be very
00:48:26clear about something. This company had a 40% profit loss before I took over. Within three
00:48:34years, I tripled our market share. Every major merger. Every successful acquisition. Every
00:48:40stock surge. My strategies. My execution. So yes, I'm getting married. And yes, I took some
00:48:52time off. But no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or
00:48:59my capability. Because without me, there wouldn't even be a company to inherit. So now, shall
00:49:07we discuss the merger?
00:49:29get out. Lila, there's nothing between me and Vivian. The surrogacy is not for her.
00:49:35I know what I saw. Just get out.
00:49:59Adrian! What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:11Of doing my job.
00:50:12Your job is to follow the family strategy. Ever since she came into your life, you've been
00:50:18ruining- You've been undermining everything that we built.
00:50:21Leave Lila out of this.
00:50:23I don't need to stand here and listen to you.
00:50:25Oh, run along. The adults are talking business now.
00:50:30Don't worry, dear. We just need to borrow him for a moment. Business matters. Who wouldn't
00:50:35understand?
00:50:36She's nothing but a brute mare. Once she delivers, you pay her off and you'll be done with it.
00:50:46Adrian needs someone who understands this world. Someone like me.
00:50:51Vivian joins Crawford Industries tomorrow. Unnegotiable.
00:51:00She'll be with you every day. Just like before. And your little pet project. She can stay at home with just eight. That's all she's good for.
00:51:10Get out! Both of you!
00:51:13Dare you! If you ever speak about my wife like that again, I swear I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before I let either of you touch it.
00:51:24Adrian, be reasonable. She is worth a thousand up here. Tomorrow, 9am. Vivian starts. No discussion. Is that all?
00:51:38For now, don't disappoint me again.
00:51:41Stop it! Stop checking! I was independent before him. I didn't need someone to create a meal plan for me or hold me while I sleep.
00:52:04No. I'm not going to be that girl. I can work on my own. You know, I don't need his arrangements or his dental care. I'm just a tool for a baby.
00:52:25So Lila and Adrian's relationship is on the rocks. Well, if it isn't the perfect opportunity to gain her trust and trick her back to me.
00:52:43Lila! I'm fine.
00:52:46You're not fine. Hospital. Now. Put me down! Put me down!
00:52:57Thank you for bringing me here. I know we've had our differences.
00:53:04I'm like...
00:53:05Now you used to look at me like this. So sweet and sincere.
00:53:09No.
00:53:10Why not? You're telling me there's really nothing still between us.
00:53:15Ethan...
00:53:16He's using you, Lila. Yeah, I know I've messed up, but seeing the way he treats you, it's tearing me apart.
00:53:23Ethan, you...
00:53:28Adrian, stop! What are you doing?
00:53:31I'm protecting you!
00:53:32Ethan, help me! He found me bleeding and brought me here.
00:53:35Now you're defending him?
00:53:37I'm defending the truth.
00:53:38Sometimes people surprise you.
00:53:40I see.
00:53:43Adrian...
00:53:44I'll get the doctor.
00:53:46Adrian...
00:53:47I want full blood work, fetal monitoring, and get the OBGYN down here.
00:53:58Sir, it's just a minor cough.
00:54:01I want to get a complete prenatal check-up.
00:54:04I've already called Dr. Reynolds. She'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:54:07So bossy.
00:54:08No, some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:54:12Some of those beach dates we used to have.
00:54:15You said I was the best.
00:54:19Thompson, call in the catering.
00:54:22Yeah, the one on the push list.
00:54:25Lila's been cravings, sir.
00:54:28Meat and fatty cut.
00:54:29No, what's up?

01:04:17Thanks, Doc
01:04:18Thanks
01:04:33Let's talk about the scene Sinclair's
01:04:36Arrangement
01:04:38Was it a contract surrogacy?
01:04:40Mr. Harrington
01:04:41I can't discuss the patient information
01:04:45I hear the hospital is opening up a new wing
01:04:48It would be a shame if your name
01:04:50Mysteriously
01:04:52Disappeared
01:04:53In the best
01:04:55Weren't it?
01:04:59Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:10Oh my god
01:05:12Oh my god
01:05:22Surrogacy!
01:05:23Surrogacy!
01:05:24Surrogacy!
01:05:28Five 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
01:05:43Why didn't you just say it?
01:05:44Why drag the family's name through the mud?
01:05:47This isn't true
01:05:49It's nothing but a malicious rumor
01:05:52Don't believe everything you see in the news
01:05:55Lila and I
01:05:57Were in love
01:06:02Your lives stop here, Uncle
01:06:04Grandfather
01:06:08The files
01:06:10Proving their contract
01:06:12Lila isn't his fiancee
01:06:14She's just a surrogate
01:06:16Who got hired to bear an heir
01:06:20Medical files
01:06:22From Crawford Fertility Center
01:06:24They show Miss Reed
01:06:26Undergoing IVF treatment
01:06:29And was generously compensated
01:06:31A surrogate!
01:06:33How vulgar!
01:06:35You dare deceive me with this filth?
01:06:38Dragging the 12 foot name through the mud?
01:06:41I'll deal with it
01:06:43Right
01:06:45How?
01:06:46God knows what else you've schemed
01:06:48Actually, I might have a solution
01:06:51Replace Adrian's fiancee with me
01:06:55Let Lila take the fall in the media
01:06:58She's just a desperate gold digger
01:07:01Who wants to bear an heir
01:07:03Just 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
01:07:16And get out!
01:07:18Adrian
01:07:19I always get the man I want
01:07:21I want
01:07:25If he does this
01:07:26He could still get the inheritance
01:07:28No rush
01:07:29Let's get them into trouble
01:07:31He'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
01:07:48Not my wife
01:07:50Not my wife
01:07:52The only woman I've ever loved
01:07:54And we're getting married
01:07:56Officially
01:07:58Publicly
01:08:09Say it!
01:08:10You wanna 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
01:08:20Just for her?
01:08:22Are you insane?
01:08:24I would never choose anything over my wife
01:08:27Not ever
01:08:29And I would never choose you
01:08:31You'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?
01:08:42It was planned all along
01:08:50Wait, wait, wait
01:08:52Don't
01:08:54I'm not right giving up your future
01:08:56You are my future
01:08:58You might everything
01:09:01You and our child
01:09:02You and our child
01:09:15Let's go
01:09:27Adrian
01:09:28Hey, what's wrong?
01:09:30Don't tell me you only love me for my CEO status and money
01:09:34No, I can make more money
01:09:36You know, I'm kind of excited to be a sugar mommy
01:09:40I've always wanted a sugar mommy
01:09:42Wait, yeah, I was gonna grab somebody from the car
01:09:44What are you doing here?
01:09:58Why?
01:10:00What does she have that I don't?
01:10:02Why do you always choose her?
01:10:04It's simple
01:10:05Love her
01:10:07Not you
01:10:08Adrian, please
01:10:09I was wrong
01:10:35Hey
01:10:36Hey
01:10:37Hi
01:10:38Beautiful
01:10:39Yeah, it is
01:10:52Lilo, were you?
01:10:53Yes
01:10:54Of course
01:10:55Lilo, were you?
01:10:56Yes, of course
01:10:59When did you get this?
01:11:01Back when I realized I'd give up everything for you
01:11:02Back when I realized I'd give up everything for you
01:11:16Back when I realized I'd give up everything for you
01:11:32How's it going on?
01:11:33Good
01:11:35Just finished my last sketch
01:11:37I didn't hear a sugar mommy just landed another big deal
01:11:39Yeah?
01:11:40Adrian
01:11:41Come back to the Quarfort family
01:11:43Come back to your position and your inheritance
01:11:46What do you mean you're cancelling the contract?
01:11:47We've been partners for 10 years
01:11:49Grandfather, no, please don't call Adrian
01:11:50Yeah?
01:11:51Adrian
01:11:52Come back to the Quarfort family
01:11:53Come back to your position and your inheritance
01:11:56What do you mean you're cancelling the contract?
01:11:57We've been partners for 10 years
01:11:59Grandfather, no, please don't call Adrian
01:12:01So you want me to come back?
01:12:02I have to ask my wife
01:12:04What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:12:05What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:12:06We've been partners for 10 years.
01:12:12Grandfather, no.
01:12:13Please don't call Adrian.
01:12:17So you want me to come back?
01:12:20I have to ask my wife.
01:12:23What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:12:30First 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.
01:12:46Ethan deliberately sabotaged every deal.
01:12:49There's no proof.
01:12:50You 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.
01:13:09The lawsuit's already been filed.
01:13:12What?
01:13:13You actually did this?
01:13:16No, Grandfather.
01:13:17He's lying.
01:13:18It's all a lie.
01:13:20Dad, either you let me handle this my way, or I can still walk.
01:13:26Mr. Crawford, the vote for new director.
01:13:39Competence is everything.
01:13:46I'm getting old, and 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?
01:13:59My company, you hear that?
01:14:03My fucking company.
01:14:05Come back.
01:14:10The baby's asleep.
01:14:13I guess that means I get you all to myself.
01:14:17Don't distract me.
01:14:18I'm almost finished.
01:14:20I'm designing my wedding dress.
01:14:23Incredible.
01:14:25I might hire you to design my tux.
01:14:27You 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.
01:14:44And soon I'll be able to love you openly and officially for the rest of my life.
01:14:51Are you practicing your vows?
01:14:53Yeah.
01:14:57Can we practice the kiss as well?
01:14:59If we have to.
01:15:00Yeah.
01:15:01Your father said, no fiancé by Christmas, no inheritance.
01:15:18Do you really want to give all that up?
01:15:26Everybody, this is my new girlfriend.
01:15:28You didn't tell me your parents were this rich.
01:15:34I brought you all a basket from the Miller farm.
01:15:37A bottom.
