00:00:00Three years. Three years I've loved him. Everyone tells me Ethan will never change, that a man like him only loves himself.
00:00:10But they don't see the real Ethan. I know he loves me.
00:00:17Thank you so much. I really, really appreciate it. Thank you.
00:00:22Tonight it will be our big night and I'll give him all of me. We'll make a beautiful baby together, a family of our own.
00:00:43Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
00:00:52Oh my god.
00:00:57Hmhm.
00:00:58Hmm?
00:01:01Ha ha.
00:01:04I don't know.
00:01:34Oh my god!
00:02:02Lila!
00:02:04You're early.
00:02:06Why so shocked, babe?
00:02:07You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:02:11Come and join us.
00:02:15Three years.
00:02:21Three years I wasted on you!
00:02:24God, I'm such an idiot!
00:02:27To think I was going to have a baby with you!
00:02:30Oh, baby?
00:02:33Sweetheart, you wouldn't even put out after three years and now you're thinking about playing mommy.
00:02:39Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs,
00:02:44these lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:02:49Screw you!
00:02:51I'm not going to let you take this from me, too.
00:03:04You know what?
00:03:09I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:03:12One appointment, one sperm donor, I can have a baby of my own.
00:03:16Six months to produce an heir or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:03:31Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:03:34The surrogate candidates are all, for all the words,
00:03:38Ivy League are educated.
00:03:40Impeccable health histories.
00:03:41I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:03:43I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:03:46Find me someone who knows your place and will disappear after delivery.
00:04:04Miss, I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:34Are you here for the interview?
00:04:37The interview?
00:04:38Yes, of course.
00:04:49Please sit.
00:04:56Right, let's get started.
00:04:59Hey, um, education background.
00:05:04Excuse me?
00:05:06And I'm going to need a full medical history, specifically genetic disorders.
00:05:12Do you work out?
00:05:14I mean, you look acceptable.
00:05:21Do you have any idea who I am?
00:05:26I'm just trying to be thorough.
00:05:30It's about creating a healthy baby, after all.
00:05:34Why are attractive men so full of themselves?
00:05:39I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:05:42I need to know your reproductive history.
00:05:44So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:05:48Mr Crawford, I can't show her out.
00:05:51Thompson, leave us.
00:05:56What are you doing?
00:05:59Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:06:09Harvard Business School.
00:06:11MBA.
00:06:11Top of class.
00:06:13No family history of genetic disorders.
00:06:15I work you out five times a week.
00:06:18As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:06:29Now Thompson is gone.
00:06:31Are you comfortable to share yours?
00:06:32Oh, um, yes.
00:06:34Of course.
00:06:35I don't know.
00:06:36I don't know.
00:06:36I don't know.
00:06:38I'm perfectly healthy too.
00:06:40No genetic disorders.
00:06:42And, uh, I get regular checkups.
00:06:44Um, I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:06:49You really do seem like the perfect match.
00:06:53Good.
00:06:55Now, regarding compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
00:06:58Well, I was thinking around $800.
00:07:05$800.
00:07:07I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:07:12I know.
00:07:13I know it's not a lot of money, but considering the quality, I could help.
00:07:20I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:07:21Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:07:24Yes.
00:07:24All of this?
00:07:33Seriously?
00:07:35Take your time to review, but the key point is after birth, the child stays with me.
00:07:41No contact.
00:07:43You want to keep my baby?
00:07:46Are you insane?
00:07:47That's standard procedure for surrogacy arrangements.
00:07:56Surrogacy?
00:07:56What's surrogacy?
00:07:58The position you're interviewing for.
00:08:00Interview?
00:08:01I'm hated by sperm.
00:08:03You came to what?
00:08:05Uh, I thought you were a donor.
00:08:07That's why I was asking you all the questions about the history and stuff.
00:08:11I thought you were here to be my surrogate.
00:08:14Right.
00:08:15Um, well, I guess, I guess I've, um, made a mistake, so I'm just gonna go.
00:08:21Wait!
00:08:24A million dollars.
00:08:26For carrying my child.
00:08:30I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:08:33Not somebody else's.
00:08:34Ah, you might need that.
00:08:46Clean this up.
00:08:48Bring in the next.
00:08:56Hello?
00:08:56Miss Reed, your father.
00:08:59You need to come now.
00:09:01Okay, I'm coming.
00:09:04Doctor, how is he?
00:09:23How is my father?
00:09:25The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:09:29Then, then do something.
00:09:31Save him.
00:09:32Is there, is there a treatment you can do?
00:09:34Uh, there is a new treatment.
00:09:36Okay, then, then let's do it.
00:09:38But maybe it's, uh, quite expensive.
00:09:40How much?
00:09:41Around one million dollars.
00:09:44A million dollars?
00:09:45Yes.
00:09:47Can I get a, a loan or something?
00:09:50Actually, this is a new technology.
00:09:52And there is no loan policy.
00:09:54Sorry.
00:09:54Sorry.
00:09:54And there is no loan.
00:09:55What?
00:09:55What?
00:09:55I keep a call for a loan.
00:09:57I'm gone, I'm heads.
00:10:18So bad.
00:10:19What?
00:10:20this is the last batch yes sir the blonde want to know about ring sizes and brunette asked about
00:10:43moving in and the redhead all of them want the Crawford name no one's qualified she was refreshing
00:10:55no pretence no schemes but she wasn't even here for surrogacy sometimes the best candidate isn't
00:11:04looking for the job hello I've been thinking
00:11:32about yesterday I may have been a bit hasty you're reconsidering don't sound so smug about
00:11:41it I have my reasons as do I I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms what kind of
00:11:53modification joint custody you wouldn't be just carrying the child you'd be the baby's mother
00:11:58why would you agree to that you're honest direct no hidden agenda qualities I want in my child's
00:12:08mother so I'd really get to be a part of the baby's life yes but understand this clearly
00:12:13we'll be parents nothing more no romantic entanglements no emotional expectations
00:12:21father the board is getting impatient have you considered the arrangements I suggested I I've
00:12:39already made my own plans Adrian if you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an air
00:12:46forget it the Crawford name means something I won't let it be tainted by I've already chosen my fiance what
00:12:55we'll discuss this at dinner did I just get promoted from surrogate to fiance correct me if I'm wrong but
00:13:09didn't you just say just parents nothing more the situation requires adaptation mmm is that CEO talk for
00:13:21I change my mind if we need a convincing story you'll be staying at my house during the pregnancy and after
00:13:27the baby comes we'll arrange for an amicable separation continue parenting and I'll arrange for any additional
00:13:35compensation for the complexity the original amount is fine but I am going to need it soon

00:18:39Sorry, didn't see you there.
00:18:59You're always in the way.
00:19:01Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancé.
00:19:07Mrs. Crawford.
00:19:09Catherine, please. We're family now. Supposedly.
00:19:13Helen, tea, please.
00:19:15Yes, Mrs. Crawford.
00:19:21So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:19:25Through mutual friends.
00:19:27Oh, really? Mutual friends.
00:19:35Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:19:41Unless this is more of a business arrangement?
00:19:44I'm sorry?
00:19:45Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved?
00:19:51The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:20:05Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancé, your presence is required.
00:20:13I'd be honoured.
00:20:14Hmm. Perfect.
00:20:16I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:20:22You can go now.
00:20:34Excuse me, Miss Rie.
00:20:36I need to clean.
00:20:38Of course. Let me just move this.
00:20:40Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:46How creative.
00:20:48Must be hot in your family.
00:20:50Watching you chase after rich men.
00:20:54Let me help you with this.
00:20:56My dress!
00:20:58How clumsy of me.
00:21:00You did that on purpose.
00:21:02Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:21:04You're just some trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:21:12Mr. Crawford! She just attacked me!
00:21:18I was trying to help with the-
00:21:19Get out!
00:21:20But I was just-
00:21:21One more word and you're fired.
00:21:23Get out!
00:21:25Get out!
00:21:33What happened?
00:21:34Nothing.
00:21:35I need some space.
00:21:36I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:21:38Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:21:39I need some space!
00:21:44You take the bed.
00:21:45I'll take the sofa.
00:21:46I miss you so much, Daddy.
00:21:49Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:51As long as we can get you better,
00:21:53I won't let their words get to me.
00:21:56I promise.
00:21:58Lila, what happened?
00:22:00What should I do?
00:22:14How's the happy couple?
00:22:15Well, that's awkward.
00:22:29Just a small prick.
00:22:30Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:22:32It's okay.
00:22:34I'm here.
00:22:36You're safe.
00:22:39Perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:45What?
00:22:47Yeah!
00:22:50Ugh, I need to rebuild my Pensacola outta here.
00:22:51Aw and your coward, who knew him?
00:22:53If you knew, you would once be doomed.
00:22:55Rod cost me for if you could.
00:22:57I need a knife.
00:23:08Focus. This is just a simple medical procedure.
00:23:31Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:23:33Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:23:39Uh, yeah, I'm fine. I just need some assistance.
00:23:44Oh, do you need my help?
00:23:46No, uh, I didn't mean...
00:23:49Are you sure? Honestly, it's fine. I can come in if you need me to.
00:23:54Come in.
00:24:03So, you want to help?
00:24:06Of course. What, what do you need me to...
00:24:13Oh, you're... Oh, you're...
00:24:16I'm, I'm so sorry. I didn't, I didn't realize.
00:24:18I'm just, I'm just gonna just go somewhere.
00:24:22I just need you somewhere very far.
00:24:28Well, that was helpful.
00:24:29Are you okay?
00:24:36Yeah. Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:24:41It's causing you pain.
00:24:42Yeah, it's, it's a little uncomfortable, but I mean, it will, it will pass.
00:24:47Oh.
00:24:48Here.
00:24:51Oh, okay.
00:24:52Thanks.
00:25:09Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically
00:25:14a work-related issue, and as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:18Sure.
00:25:20Okay.
00:25:20Purely professional care.
00:25:50PURELY PROFESSIONAL, HUH?
00:26:08ADRIAN!
00:26:11Um, about this weekend...
00:26:13I'm sorry, there's an emergency in Atlanta.
00:26:15The merge is falling apart.
00:26:17Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:26:21Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:23Guess I'll handle it on my own.
00:26:29Well I don't suppose we should expect punctuality from a person who's probably never had a proper
00:26:34watch in her life.
00:26:36I introduce him to the Lawson Harris, the senator's daughter.
00:26:41I don't understand why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:26:46What did you say she did, Ethan?
00:26:48Retail?
00:26:49Worse.
00:26:50A wannabe writer.
00:26:52She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:26:57Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:27:01I had the chef prepare her place setting and everything.
00:27:05She probably couldn't figure out which work to use, though.
00:27:11I apologize for the slight delay.
00:27:25My, my.
00:27:26Trying so hard to look the part.
00:27:29James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner.
00:27:34I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:27:37And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breathing.
00:27:42Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:27:45Oh, darling, a seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:27:53How quaint.
00:27:57At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian's socks.
00:28:01I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable.
00:28:07Integrity.
00:28:09Integrity.
00:28:10Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:28:15How much?
00:28:17How much will it take you to disappear?
00:28:20Name your price.
00:28:24The difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford,
00:28:28is that I don't think that everything comes with a price tag.
00:28:31Excuse me.
00:28:41Stay calm.
00:28:45You can do this.
00:28:49Mm-mm.
00:28:51Getting all dressed up for me, baby.
00:28:54What's the rush?
00:28:59We're all family here.
00:29:01Well, almost family.
00:29:03Don't touch me.
00:29:04Don't touch me.
00:29:05You used to like it when I touched you.
00:29:07Remember how shy you were?
00:29:09Always saying no.
00:29:11Run off me, Batman!
00:29:13Careful now.
00:29:15One scream from you and everyone at dinner is going to know what kind of girl you really are.
00:29:22Now, where were we?
00:29:33Everything all right, dear?
00:29:34You look flushed.
00:29:36So, as I was saying about the Wilson danger...
00:29:39Stop it!
00:29:43Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:29:45No, I just...
00:29:46Stop it!
00:29:47Enough!
00:29:48No class?
00:29:49No manners?
00:29:50I don't know how you seduced my son, but someone like you could never deserve a place in this family!
00:30:02I...
00:30:03I...
00:30:04I'm the one who pursued her.
00:30:11Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:30:15Adrian...
00:30:16If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:30:19You want to know how we met?
00:30:21She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:30:23Papers flying, coffee spilled.
00:30:26Unlike some people, she didn't care about my name or my money.
00:30:30She, uh, refused me several times.
00:30:34Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:30:36First woman who dared to stand out to me.
00:30:39And that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:30:41I thought you were in Atlanta.
00:30:46Sir, two things.
00:30:47Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner.
00:30:50And your jet is ready.
00:30:51We can go now.
00:30:57Cancel Atlanta?
00:30:58What's the merger?
00:31:02Yes, sir.
00:31:04Funny that last week's family dinners were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:31:12Something's more important than business.
00:31:19Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:31:22Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:31:29What are you talking about?
00:31:30We've been dating for three years.
00:31:34I have pictures of us together.
00:31:39What?
00:31:41She probably planned this from the start.
00:31:43Dating me to get close to the family, then setting her sights higher.
00:31:48You manipulative little tramp.
00:31:50Face it, Uncle.
00:31:51You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:31:56Face it, Uncle.
00:31:58You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:32:01That's for every lie you just told.
00:32:10Adrian!
00:32:11How dare you hit my son!
00:32:13Where do you think you're going?
00:32:14We are not finished here yet!
00:32:15Yes, we are!
00:32:22I'm sorry.
00:32:23I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:32:25Thank you for coming back and for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:32:30Your hands, what happened?
00:32:46As my fiancee, you have access to the family accounts.
00:32:55I expect you to use them.
00:32:56I didn't want to presume.
00:32:58You're a Crawford now.
00:33:11Dr. Anderson.
00:33:12Mr. Crawford.
00:33:13The embryos are ready, so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:33:18I see.
00:33:22What is it?
00:33:23Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:33:25I've been thinking.
00:33:26Perhaps we should approach this matter in a more natural manner.
00:33:34Between a husband and wife.
00:33:38What are your thoughts?
00:33:42I think that we should go to bed.
00:33:46We have a really big day tomorrow.
00:33:48So, I mean, good night.
00:33:56You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit.
00:34:02Focus on the procedure.
00:34:06Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:34:15There.
00:34:16See that Y spot?
00:34:17That's our baby.
00:34:26You know, I can walk.
00:34:29Doctor's orders?
00:34:30You seem more nervous than I do.
00:34:31I'm merely following medical procedure.
00:34:47Look at her.
00:34:49She's acting like a princess.
00:34:53She was probably a waitress last week.
00:34:55Now, she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:35:08She's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:35:14She's been doing good.
00:35:19It's the only way she lays out her finger.
00:35:23Well, I'm so excited she would be her.
00:35:25I'm so excited.
00:35:27I hate the cold.
00:35:31No, I'm so excited.
00:35:34It's my little genius.
00:35:35That's the end of my life.
00:35:36I love my life.
00:35:36I love my life.
00:35:36No, I love my life.
00:35:37No, that's a gift.
00:35:38I love my life.
00:35:39No, it's a gift.
00:35:40No.
00:35:41No, I love myself.
00:35:42You used to love being in my arms.
00:35:45Remember how we would spend hours at the cafe?
00:35:48You would lean into me while reading your favorite book.
00:35:52Did she?
00:35:55Adrian!
00:35:56I was just getting food, I swear.
00:36:01Get out!
00:36:07My stomach.
00:36:08Lida, what's wrong?
00:36:09My stomach. I think that there's something wrong.
00:36:11If anything, anything happens to my fiancé or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:36:19And you, what you want, you'll never have.
00:36:25Never.
00:36:30Child.
00:36:32Three years she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:36:35And a few weeks with my uncle and she's carrying his child.
00:36:39You want the perfect family.
00:36:44It's not gonna happen.
00:36:56Thompson, clear my schedule.
00:36:58Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:37:00Sir, what happened?
00:37:02Do you need my help?
00:37:02You can't help on this one.
00:37:04Just do what I say.
00:37:07You and Ethan, you've never really gotten along, have you?
00:37:12Why is that?
00:37:22You seem very concerned about him.
00:37:24I, I just...
00:37:25Just get some rest.
00:37:27It's been a rough day for you.
00:37:28Adrian, why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:37:32No reason.
00:37:33I just know you're not like that.
00:37:36Thanks.
00:37:38Get some rest.
00:37:40Do whatever makes you comfortable.
00:37:41Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:37:43Anything I want?
00:37:45Are you sure about that?
00:37:47No.
00:37:47What the?
00:38:14What are you doing?
00:38:15This isn't nutritious.
00:38:18The baby wants chocolate.
00:38:20The baby wants chocolate.
00:38:22Yeah.
00:38:23And chips and ice cream.
00:38:26You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you?
00:38:30I've been restarting optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:38:33See, week by week, guidelines.
00:38:36Okay, okay, okay.
00:38:37How about a compromise?
00:38:39One treat per day.
00:38:41Half a treat.
00:38:43Three quarters.
00:38:44Two quarters.
00:38:52See, week by week.
00:39:06Congratulations.
00:39:08The fetus is developing perfectly.

00:46:57I apologize about last night.
00:46:58I was just worried about you.
00:47:02Worried about me or worried about the baby?
00:47:08What do you mean?
00:47:09Is this why you're being so nice to me?
00:47:13Making me breakfast, being all protective?
00:47:17It's just for the baby?
00:47:20Lila, you've been so strange since yesterday.
00:47:24Why?
00:47:25Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:47:33Yes.
00:47:39And then she got with Ethan?
00:47:44Yes.
00:47:46Great, so I'm just...
00:47:48But Vivian and I were...
00:47:49Sir, the Singapore merger is falling apart.
00:47:57We need you immediately.
00:47:58I'm in the middle of something.
00:48:00The board is threatening to pull out.
00:48:03I'll be there.
00:48:04We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back.
00:48:13Of course.
00:48:14Business first.
00:48:20Lila.
00:48:21Just go.
00:48:22Sir, there have been complications.
00:48:36Explain.
00:48:37During your absence,
00:48:39Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members,
00:48:42suggesting your sudden marriage plans
00:48:44indicate obstacle decision-making.
00:48:46Several executors are questioning
00:48:49if someone so personally distracted
00:48:52should inherit the company.
00:49:12Mr. Crawford,
00:49:13we've been discussing
00:49:14my personal life.
00:49:15Your sudden access has...
00:49:16Let me be very...
00:49:18clear.
00:49:24This company took a 40% profit loss
00:49:27before I took over.
00:49:29Within three years,
00:49:30I tripled our market share.
00:49:32Every major merger,
00:49:33every successful acquisition,
00:49:35every stock surge,
00:49:36my execution,
00:49:38my strategies.
00:49:40So yes,
00:49:41I am getting married.
00:49:43And yes,
00:49:44I took some time off
00:49:45and no,
00:49:47not a single person
00:49:48in this room
00:49:49has the right to question
00:49:50my commitment
00:49:51or my capability.
00:49:53Because without me,
00:49:56there wouldn't be a company
00:49:57left to inherit.
00:49:59Now,
00:50:00shall we discuss the merger?
00:50:04We will be McDea
00:50:07which is a капiton
00:50:08which is always
00:50:09qualty which was
00:50:10called anigerson
00:50:14.
00:50:14How do you
00:50:20do this?
00:50:25Yeah.
00:50:26You guys are
00:50:27today to
00:50:28take care of
00:50:29my partner.
00:50:30I'll come back to
00:50:30you
00:50:31to
00:50:32Adrian, what the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:50I was doing my job.
00:50:52Your job is to follow the family strategy.
00:50:56Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:51:02You leave Lila out of this.
00:51:05You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:51:08Yeah, run along. Adults are talking business now.
00:51:12We just need to bore him for a moment, dear.
00:51:15Business matters. You wouldn't understand.
00:51:24That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:51:32She's nothing but a broodmare. After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:51:41Adrian needs someone who understands this world. Someone like me.
00:51:46Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow. Non-negotiable.
00:51:53She will follow you every day, just like before.
00:51:56And your little pet project can't stay home and gestate. That's all she's good for.
00:52:02Get out! Both of you!
00:52:06How dare you!
00:52:08If you dare mention my wife's name again.
00:52:10I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before either of you get to touch it.
00:52:14Adrian, be reasonable.
00:52:17She is worth a thousand to you.
00:52:19Tomorrow. 9am. Vivian starts. No discussion.
00:52:26Is that all?
00:52:28Yes, for now. But don't disappoint me again.
00:52:31Don't disappoint me again.
00:53:01Stop it. Stop checking.
00:53:11This is ridiculous.
00:53:14I was independent before.
00:53:17I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep.
00:53:24No! I'm not gonna be that girl.
00:53:26I can make my own meals.
00:53:32I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:53:41A prude marrow.
00:53:45A way to get back at Ethan.
00:53:51Lilo!
00:53:52I'm fine!
00:53:53You're not fine! Hospital! Now!
00:53:56I'm fine!
00:54:10Thanks.
00:54:12I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciated you today.
00:54:17You know, you used to look at me like that.
00:54:23All sweet. Sincere.
00:54:25Don't.
00:54:27Why not?
00:54:28Is there really no chance for us?
00:54:30Ethan!
00:54:33Lila, he's just using you.
00:54:36You're his revenge against me.
00:54:38A tool.
00:54:40And you deserve better than that.
00:54:42Adrian, stop!
00:54:45What are you doing?
00:54:47I'm protecting you.
00:54:48But what? He's helping. He brought me here. My hand was bleeding.
00:54:52So now you're defending him?
00:54:53No, I'm defending the truth.
00:54:55Sometimes...
00:54:57I guess people surprise you.
00:54:59I see.
00:55:01Adrian...
00:55:03I'll call the doctor to come.
00:55:08I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OBGYN down immediately.
00:55:13Sir, it's just the morning call.
00:55:15I want a full prenatal checkup.
00:55:17I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson. He's going to be down here in 10 minutes.
00:55:21Always so controlling, aren't you uncle?
00:55:24Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:55:30Remember our beach dates?
00:55:34How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:55:41Thompson, bring in the catering. The Michelin star one.
00:55:45Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:55:48Oh, well done. No sauce.
00:55:50I don't think that I did say...
00:55:53How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:55:56Pride and Prejudice. BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:56:00She likes to watch it when she's feeling stressed.
00:56:03Which is why I upgraded our home theater system.
00:56:06To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:56:09You did what?
00:56:11Wow!
00:56:13Using money to get to her heart.
00:56:16Huh, uncle?
00:56:17Oh, the Alzheimer's wings fully renovated.
00:56:23Named after Lila's grandmother.
00:56:25As she mentioned.
00:56:27Oh, it's a fully funded.
00:56:29Anonymous donor.
00:56:31Hmm.
00:56:35He may be able to offer you money.
00:56:38But you're gonna miss this.
00:56:39Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:56:55Which I smile not.
00:56:58I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins. They should arrive shortly.
00:57:02They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:57:04Wow.
00:57:06He remembered all that about me.
00:57:08I remember everything about you.
00:57:13Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:57:17Guys, she's tired. We should leave. Let her rest.
00:57:21Is this just another competition, Ethan? Or does he actually care?
00:57:36Take care.
00:57:53Yes, father?
00:57:55Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:57:57Overwork, they say.
00:57:58From cleaning up your company's mess.
00:58:01I have meetings.
00:58:02Cancel them.
00:58:04Go to visit her right now.
00:58:06Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you.
00:58:10Or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
00:58:29You came.
00:58:34Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
00:58:38Still so cold.
00:58:40Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was unwell?
00:58:44That was a long time ago.
00:58:47We were really great together, Adrian.
00:58:49We could be together again.
00:58:51I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
00:58:53What we had, I never took it as seriously as you pretended to.
00:58:59But Lila, she's different.
00:59:02She's real.
00:59:04The pregnant gold digger is real?
00:59:07Please.
00:59:13I guess some things never change.
00:59:20Watch your words.
00:59:21Stay away from my wife.
00:59:34My little girl.
00:59:35Daddy.
00:59:36No.
00:59:38Your hand.
00:59:40It's nothing.
00:59:43I need to tell you something.
00:59:46I'm gonna be a mother.
00:59:48Is it that Ethan boys?
00:59:49No.
00:59:50No.
00:59:51Then who?
00:59:52It doesn't matter.
00:59:53But what does matter is that this is my baby.
00:59:57And I'm gonna love them so much.
01:00:00With all the love that you gave me.
01:00:04Baby.
01:00:06I'm so sorry.
01:00:08I'm sorry I couldn't give you better.
01:00:12Daddy.
01:00:13If only I were healthy.
01:00:14If I could work.
01:00:15Daddy don't.
01:00:18But the hospital bills.
01:00:19What are you getting money for?
01:00:22Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:00:24No.
01:00:25No.
01:00:26It's not like that.
01:00:27Did someone take advantage of you?
01:00:30My little girl pregnant all alone?
01:00:32She's not alone.
01:00:37Hi Mr. Reid.
01:00:38I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:00:43I'm the father of her child.
01:00:45Adriana.
01:00:47I'm not just the father.
01:00:48I'm the man who's gonna spend the rest of his life making sure your daughter and our child get everything they deserve.
01:00:54Pretty words from a rich man.
01:00:57Not words. Facts.
01:00:59I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:01:02Full treatment plan. Best specialists.
01:01:04Adriana.
01:01:06And I promise you this.
01:01:09Every morning she's gonna wake up knowing that she is cherished.
01:01:13Every decision I make, every step I take will be to ensure her happiness.
01:01:18You really mean that don't you?
01:01:20Yes sir I do.
01:01:22Well.
01:01:25Maybe I can stop worrying now.
01:01:37For what you said in there.
01:01:39I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:01:41No no no no.
01:01:43I wasn't just doing anything.
01:01:45Every word I said in there is true.
01:01:48Adriana.
01:01:54Laila I need to tell you something.
01:01:56I've been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
01:02:02Yes we had a contract but.
01:02:05I realized.
01:02:07You've become everything to me.
01:02:09You're not my surrogate.
01:02:12You're not my convenient fiance.
01:02:17You're my partner.
01:02:19If you have me.
01:02:23But what about Ethan?
01:02:26What about them?
01:02:28Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan?
01:02:32Revenge?
01:02:34I never loved Vivian.
01:02:36And Ethan, he's not worth a second thought.
01:02:38Really?
01:02:40And who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:02:45That was...
01:02:51I was jealous, okay?
01:02:53The thought of you with him.
01:02:56Wow.
01:02:58The great Mr. Crawford.
01:02:59Jealous.
01:03:01Don't mention it.
01:03:02I have a reputation to maintain.
01:03:17I'm not letting you go.
01:03:19Not ever.
01:03:20Not ever.
01:03:28Surrogacy?
01:03:30Contract marriage?
01:03:32Oh, this is too perfect.
01:03:33This is too perfect.
01:03:54Great.
01:04:03Whiskey.
01:04:04Neat.
01:04:13What's so urgent?
01:04:15I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you.
01:04:18Is this about her and my uncle?
01:04:20It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:04:23Your perfect uncle?
01:04:25He hired her.
01:04:27She's just a surrogate.
01:04:29Their whole engagement is a lie.
01:04:31A contract.
01:04:33The board would love to hear about this.
01:04:38Next week's family meeting.
01:04:41He'll reveal everything.
01:04:43Until then, let's gather more evidence.
01:04:46And once he's ruined...
01:04:49I'll comfort him.
01:04:52Help him rebuild.
01:04:54He'll remember who he truly belongs with.
01:05:00And Lila?
01:05:02Well, once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:05:05You can have your little toy back.
01:05:07Cheers.
01:05:10Cheers.
01:05:26Um, Ethan's in meetings all afternoon.
01:05:29That's okay. I don't mind waiting.
01:05:30These documents require his immediate attention.
01:05:39Would you mind getting me some tea, dear?
01:05:41Sorry, can you see agreements?
01:05:50I'm going to go contracts.
01:05:52Oh, come on.
01:05:54The train's always so organized.
01:05:57Where is everything?
01:06:06It's just a stupid cat.
01:06:07Are you okay?
01:06:21You're a beast!
01:06:23Attack me!
01:06:25I need your bathroom.
01:06:27Now!
01:06:28Adrian!
01:06:37I've been waiting for you.
01:06:43You know...
01:06:45If you need an heir,
01:06:47we could make one.
01:06:49Right here.
01:06:50Right now.
01:06:53Lila doesn't have to know.
01:06:55She's already asleep.
01:06:58It could just be our little secret.
01:07:03Here.
01:07:05In the living room.
01:07:08Wherever you want.
01:07:10Someone might see us.
01:07:12Are you scared?
01:07:17I know somewhere more...
01:07:20private.
01:07:21Where are we going?
01:07:29Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:07:32Ladies first.
01:07:38Enjoy the fresh air!
01:07:40Adrian! Adrian!
01:07:42You can't do this to me!
01:07:44I'm a Crawford executive!
01:07:45I'm an executive!
01:07:51Stop filming me!
01:07:53This is harassment!
01:07:54I will sue you!
01:07:55I will sue you so hard!
01:08:00Adrian!
01:08:01Adrian!
01:08:02Adrian, let me in!
01:08:03Everyone!
01:08:11This crisis could have destroyed us.
01:08:15But thanks to your tireless efforts,
01:08:18Crawford is stronger than ever!
01:08:20To the best team in the business!
01:08:22Yay!
01:08:26Though, speaking of tonight's celebration,
01:08:29there's something you all should be prepared for.
01:08:33For what?
01:08:35My uncle is bringing his fiancée tonight.
01:08:39The thing is,
01:08:41her and I were together until very recently.
01:08:46I know, I know, I know.
01:08:49But please, when they arrive, act normal.
01:08:53I couldn't bear any drama.
01:08:55She left you for your uncle?
01:08:58These things happen.
01:09:02Everyone!
01:09:04I'd like to introduce you to my fiancée,
01:09:06Lila Reid.
01:09:08Hello everybody, it's lovely to meet you all.
01:09:10I need to check some numbers.
01:09:15Did I do something wrong?
01:09:24How are you feeling?
01:09:25Is the morning sickness over yet?
01:09:28I'm fine.
01:09:30You know, I've been worried.
01:09:32All this stress can't be good for the baby.
01:09:37Which hospital are you using?
01:09:39I could drive you next time.
01:09:41That's not necessary.
01:09:43Come on.
01:09:45We used to tell each other everything.
01:09:47Just want to make sure you're getting the proper care.
01:09:49If I know her hospital, then I can get her surrogate history.
01:09:54How thoughtful.
01:09:56But Adrian handles all my appointments personally.
01:09:59The real hero of the hour!
01:10:02Wow!
01:10:07Beautiful, isn't she?
01:10:09The type of woman who belongs in Adrian's world.
01:10:13Excuse me.
01:10:15You know how my uncle thinks.
01:10:18Like a chess master.
01:10:21Every piece has its use.
01:10:23Some for business.
01:10:26Others for...
01:10:28You don't know him.
01:10:30Oh, but I do.
01:10:32Adrian Crawford cares exactly about one person.
01:10:35Adrian Crawford.
01:10:37He sees people as investments.
01:10:39Vivian?
01:10:41Perfect for managing the company.
01:10:43You?
01:10:45Well, I think we both know what your role is.
01:10:50He's wrong.
01:10:52He has to be wrong.
01:10:53Everyone in this world has their place.
01:11:14Their purpose.
01:11:16Maybe it's time I found mine again.
01:11:18I found mine again.
01:11:40Baby, when's the last time you ate something?
01:11:43I don't know.
01:11:45Breakfast.
01:11:46Yesterday's breakfast.
01:11:50Wait.
01:11:52That's enough for today.
01:11:54Okay.
01:11:58The prenatal instructor said this exercise should help.
01:12:02Okay. Like this?
01:12:04Uh, almost.
01:12:05Um, I think I need a little more instruction.
01:12:15Um, I think I need a little more instruction.
01:12:36Everyone has my experience.
01:12:38All right.
01:12:41Everything looks perfect.
01:12:43The baby's development's right on track.
01:12:45Really?
01:12:47Really.
01:12:49Now that you're in the stable period,
01:12:51intimate relations is perfectly safe.
01:12:53As long as you're gentle.
01:12:55Just listen to your bodies and—
01:12:57Yes, thank you, doctor.
01:12:58Yes, thank you, Doctor.
01:13:05Everything will be okay.
01:13:19Dr. Anderson.
01:13:21Let's talk about Adrian Crawford's arrangement.
01:13:32Was it a surrogacy contract?
01:13:37Mr. Harrington.
01:13:39Dr. Patient Confidentiality.
01:13:42I hear that the new hospital complex is looking for department heads.
01:13:48Wouldn't it be a shame if your name was mysteriously removed from the list?
01:13:59Now, about those hospital records.
01:14:19Oh, my God.
01:14:23Oh, my God.
01:14:28Surrogacy.
01:14:30Surrogacy.
01:14:32Five generations of Crawford dignity destroyed by tabloid gossip.
01:14:38I knew that girl was hiding something.
01:14:41Did you?
01:14:45Did you really pay some nobody to carry your heir?
01:14:49Tell me it isn't true.
01:14:59You. It's your doing.
01:15:02I...
01:15:03Adrian.
01:15:06I need to discuss something with you.
01:15:09Privately.
01:15:15Adrian.
01:15:17I can make all of this disappear.
01:15:19All you have to do is remember who you really belong with.
01:15:22Who I belong with.
01:15:24We were good together. We can't be again.
01:15:26Give me the position I deserve.
01:15:29As Mrs. Crawford by your side.
01:15:33I do need your help.
01:15:35Please, never show up again.
01:15:38I won't let them hurt you.
01:15:53It's not me I'm worried about.
01:15:56If they expose the truth about our arrangement, you could lose everything.
01:16:01Nothing's more important than you and our child.
01:16:05This emergency family meeting will come to order.
01:16:29I have proof.
01:16:30Miss Reed is not Adrian's loving bride-to-be.
01:16:35She's just a surrogate.
01:16:38Paid to carry the Crawford heir.
01:16:43I have proof too.
01:16:45Medical records from Crawford Medical Center.
01:16:48Showing that Miss Reed underwent fertility treatment.
01:16:51For which she was generously compensated.
01:16:55Paid surrogacy.
01:16:57How common?
01:16:59All right, fine. You want the truth?
01:17:02Yes. It started with a surrogacy.
01:17:05But Lilo.
01:17:07She's the woman I chose to be the mother of my child.
01:17:10And I won't let anyone here slander her.
01:17:13You want this arrangement?
01:17:15Fine.
01:17:16But then, it costs you everything.
01:17:21Resign from the company.
01:17:24Give up your inheritance.
01:17:26The child can save the family. Of course.
01:17:30But the mother, well, her services won't be required after delivery.
01:17:33Yes.
01:17:34I did the IVF treatment.
01:17:35But I never, never saw this baby as a business transaction.
01:17:48You know what? You can say whatever you want about me.
01:17:55But don't you dare question my love for this child.
01:17:59I'm willing to give up everything. The company, the inheritance, all of it. But I won't give up her. She's my wife. The only one that I will ever want.
01:18:13We're getting married. Properly. Publicly.
01:18:16Fine. You want to throw away everything. For this. For this woman. Then, you will get nothing from this family.
01:18:21I'm willing to give up everything. The company, the inheritance, all of it. But I won't give up her.
01:18:26She's my wife. The only one that I will ever want.
01:18:29We're getting married. Properly. Publicly.
01:18:33Fine. You want to throw away everything. For this. For this woman.
01:18:39Then, you will get nothing from this family. Nothing!
01:18:45Sign it. Renounce your inheritance. All of it.
01:18:52No, no, no, no, no. Adrian, stop. I'm not worth losing everything for.
01:18:57You're worth everything.
01:19:01The company, the assets, I built them once. I can build them again. But you.
01:19:07You. You and our child. You're our real future.
01:19:16Still time to think it over, son.
01:19:26Let's go.
01:19:37Thanks.
01:19:51You've been at this for hours.
01:19:53I just got to finish this last chapter.
01:19:56I'll get you some food.
01:19:59I'll get you some food.
01:20:10What do you mean you're canceling the contract? We've worked together for 10 years!
01:20:14No, no, no, no. Don't call Adrian.
01:20:20Hello?
01:20:22Hello?
01:20:23Hello?
01:20:24The Singapore merger just collapsed.
01:20:26They say they'll only work with Adrian.
01:20:27This is all your fault!
01:20:29You and your billion plan to get rid of him.
01:20:31My fault?
01:20:32You're the one who can't handle basic accounting!
01:20:34Enough!
01:20:36The board meeting starts in five minutes.
01:20:38Please tell me you have good news.
01:20:40Oh my god! This story sung exactly like the powerful scandal.
01:20:54Wait, is this about the... Adrian Crawford?
01:21:00The billionaire CEO giving up everything for love. I'm crying.
01:21:03Is everything okay?
01:21:08I think I just went viral.
01:21:11They figured out that the story is about us! Look!
01:21:15Should I be concerned about what else you've revealed about me?
01:21:18Have you seen the comments? They're calling us heartless villains!
01:21:39Can't believe they're trying to suppress our true love businesses.
01:21:43Crawford Industries lost my business.
01:21:45Team Adrian, all the way.
01:21:49Yes, Penguin Publishing.
01:21:51Um, sorry, I actually have Random House on the other line, so I'm gonna have to...
01:21:56The movie rights?
01:21:59Um, I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to call you right back.
01:22:02Okay, thank you.
01:22:04The movie rights!
01:22:06Oh my god!
01:22:07My wife is so popular now.
01:22:08I know!
01:22:09No!
01:22:14Your father?
01:22:19Son.
01:22:21The board wants you back.
01:22:23Take your position.
01:22:24Your inheritance.
01:22:26I'll have to ask my wife.
01:22:29What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:22:30First order of business.
01:22:31Starting without me.
01:22:32Perfect timing.
01:22:33I'm announcing your termination.
01:22:35You can't fire me.
01:22:36I'm a shareholder and a senior executive.
01:22:37The company crisis last month wasn't an accident.
01:22:39You and Ethan deliberately sabotaged our deal.
01:22:42You can't prove any brief...
01:22:44Email, every call, every secret meeting with our competitors.
01:22:47All documented.
01:22:49Lawsuit's already been filed.
01:22:51You and Ethan will be hearing from our lawyers.
01:22:52Oh my god.
01:22:53We have that.
01:22:54You can't prove any great email, every call, every secret meeting with our competitors.
01:23:01All documented.
01:23:03Lawsuit's already been filed.
01:23:05You and Ethan will be hearing from our lawyers.
01:23:17Oh my god.
01:23:24Adrian, I think my water just broke.
01:23:29Yeah, come home.
01:23:33Mr. Crawford, the vote for new director.
01:23:41For her, he'd drop everything.
01:23:46Including a multi-billion dollar...
01:23:54Before we vote, there is something you should know.
01:24:01Adrian and Lila were legally married two months ago.
01:24:06And they have my full blessing.
01:24:10Blessing.
01:24:23Both my girls still awake?
01:24:31I'm just finishing.
01:24:35I'm doing it.
01:24:36I'm doing it.
01:24:38I'm doing it.
01:24:39I'm doing it.
01:24:40I'm doing it.
01:24:42I like it.
01:24:44I don't know what to do.
01:24:46I'm doing it, because I'm going to change your mouth.
01:24:48I don't know how I'm thinking about it.
01:24:50I felt like the word is not a commissioner.
01:24:53I'm doing it.
01:24:55I was learning too.
01:24:57I was just focusing on thehaven side.
01:24:59I was thinking about it.
