00:00:03Miss Ri, your ovaries aren't doing their best lately.
00:00:07This could be the start of ovarian failure.
00:00:10Ovarian failure? I mean, I'm so young.
00:00:13Is this gonna mess with me having kids?
00:00:15I've always wanted to be a mom.
00:00:17If 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, me at X Hotels, 3.02 at 7 p.m.
00:00:30Got a surprise for you.
00:00:35Ethan 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.
00:00:49Oh!
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.
00:01:34Oh, my God.
00:01:36Lila.
00:01:37You said you'd be back at 7.
00:01:39Chidi, is this the big surprise you had planned for me?
00:01:43Oh, my God.
00:01:45Oh, you're such a buzzkill.
00:01:48You always said you wanted to try something new.
00:01:50Come 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.
00:02:02God, I'm such an idiot.
00:02:03You know, I was planning on having a baby.
00:02:06A baby?
00:02:08Sweet art.
00:02:18You really think I'd marry you for your cheap love over legs like these?
00:02:24You know what?
00:02:26We're done.
00:02:28Six months?
00:02:30What, am 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.
00:02:46One appointment, one sperm donor, and 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, gone.
00:03:08Well, sir, the surrogate candidates have all been vetted thoroughly.
00:03:11I mean, Ivy League graduates, impeccable health histories.
00:03:17I don't need resumes.
00:03:19I 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?
00:03:37Oh, um, right.
00:03:39Well, let's get started.
00:03:42Um, education background?
00:03:46Excuse me?
00:03:47And I'm going to need a complete medical history.
00:03:49Family genetic conditions, mostly.
00:03:50Um, do you exercise regularly?
00:03:52You look...
00:03:56Acceptable.
00:03:58Do you have any idea who I am?
00:04:01I'm just being thorough.
00:04:03This is about making a healthy baby, after all.
00:04:07Gosh, why are men always so fools of themselves?
00:04:10Um, um, sir, I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:04:14I need to know about your reproductive history.
00:04:18Sexual partners in the last six months?
00:04:19Mr. Crawford, I can show her out.
00:04:22It's okay.
00:04:22Thompson, you can leave us.
00:04:24Okay.
00:04:25What are you doing?
00:04:32I'm making sure this is thorough.
00:04:53I'm making sure this is thorough.
00:04:56That performance has never been a problem.
00:04:58Now that Thompson's gone, are you comfortable sharing yours?
00:05:01Oh, um, of course.
00:05:03Uh, I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:05:05Uh, no kinetic conditions.
00:05:06I get checkups regularly.
00:05:09I haven't started taking prenatal vitamins.
00:05:12Good.
00:05:13I have to say, you're a perfect match.
00:05:16How about, in regards to compensation, have you got a figure in mind?
00:05:21Well, I was thinking, $800.
00:05:25$800?
00:05:26$800?
00:05:27Well, I was expecting a figure much higher than that.
00:05:33I know it's not much, but, you know, considering the quality, and I could help out in other ways.
00:05:39I could do your paperwork.
00:05:42Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:05:53Are you serious?
00:05:56All this?
00:05:57Take your time reviewing, but the key point is, after birth, the child stays with me.
00:06:01No contact.
00:06:02Are you kidding me?
00:06:03You want to keep my baby?
00:06:07Are you kidding me?
00:06:08You want to keep my baby?
00:06:10My baby!
00:06:11Is this some kind of sick joke?
00:06:14That's standard procedure for a surrogacy agreement.
00:06:17Surrogacy what?
00:06:18Surrogacy!
00:06:18The position that you're interviewing for.
00:06:21Interviewing?
00:06:21No, 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.
00:06:37That is why I came here asking you all those questions about your qualifications.
00:06:42And I thought you were applying to be my surrogate.
00:06:45I am so sorry about all the confusion.
00:06:50I...
00:06:52I'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.
00:07:14Next.
00:07:21Miss Reed, your father.
00:07:23You need to come now.
00:07:27Thanks.
00:07:29And we'll see you all the time.
00:07:34My love.
00:07:36It's going to be okay, Dad.
00:07:38You're going to be okay.
00:07:39I'm not afraid to die.
00:07:43I'm just afraid to leave you alone.
00:07:48Dad?
00:07:49Dad?
00:07:50Doctor! Help! Please!
00:08:01Doctor, my father, how is he?
00:08:04The cancer has spread aggressively, without immediate treatment.
00:08:07Then treat him! Now!
00:08:09The full course of treatment will cost approximately one million dollars.
00:08:15Aristocratic etiquette, training, influencer, bachelor in economics.
00:08:20Yeah, right, she's underage.
00:08:21Is this the last batch?
00:08:23Yes, sir.
00:08:24The brunette asked about ring sizes.
00:08:26Blonde.
00:08:26Well, she asked about moving in.
00:08:29And the redhead.
00:08:30Well, all of them just wanted a Crawford name.
00:08:33But none of them are suitable.
00:08:39This one was refreshing.
00:08:42She was real.
00:08:45No schemes.
00:08:47Well, Mr. Crawford, she wasn't here for servicing.
00:08:49Sometimes the best candidates aren't looking for the job.
00:08:52Oh, my God.
00:08:53A million dollars?
00:08:56Maybe I could get a loan?
00:09:01A million dollars.
00:09:04For carrying my child.
00:09:18Hello?
00:09:19Myla Reed.
00:09:20This is Adrienne Crawford.
00:09:27I've been thinking.
00:09:28I saw her thinking.
00:09:32About the other day.
00:09:33I think I may have been...
00:09:35A little hasty.
00:09:37You're reconsidering?
00:09:38Don't look so smug.
00:09:39I just...
00:09:44I have my reasons.
00:09:46As do I.
00:09:47I'd like to propose a modification to the original tombs.
00:09:54What kind of modification?
00:09:57Joint custody.
00:09:59As well as carrying the child you'd be its mother.
00:10:05Why would you do that?
00:10:07You're direct.
00:10:08Honest.
00:10:09No hidden agendas.
00:10:11Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:10:16So...
00:10:17I'd really be a part of the baby's life?
00:10:20Yes.
00:10:21But just to be clear, we'll be parents.
00:10:24Nothing more.
00:10:25No emotional entanglements.
00:10:27No romantic expectations.
00:10:28Please don't flatter yourself.
00:10:33Father.
00:10:35The board is getting impatient.
00:10:37Have you considered the arrangement that I suggested?
00:10:40I have my own plans.
00:10:43Aiden.
00:10:43If you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
00:10:49The Crawford name means something.
00:10:52I won't have it tainted by...
00:10:54I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:10:57What?
00:10:58I will talk about it at dinner.
00:11:01I'm sorry.
00:11:03Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiancé?
00:11:09Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiancé?
00:11:13Didn't somebody just say, just parents, nothing more?
00:11:18The situation requires...
00:11:22Adaptation.
00:11:23Is that CEO speak for I changed my mind?
00:11:25You'll need a convincing story.
00:11:27You'll stay at my house during the pregnancy.
00:11:30Okay.
00:11:32What about after?
00:11:34We'll arrange an amicable split.
00:11:36Continue co-parenting.
00:11:38I'll provide additional compensation for the complexity.
00:11:41No.
00:11:42The original match is fine.
00:11:43It's just...
00:11:47I do need it soon.
00:11:51So?
00:11:52No.
00:12:20Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:12:48My whole apartment could fit in his hallway.
00:12:56Well, well.
00:12:58Missed me so much you had to track me down.
00:13:03Couldn't get over me, huh?
00:13:06Had to follow me here like a lost puppy dog.
00:13:10Father, do you know I didn't...
00:13:12Wait, 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.
00:13:22You were so mad last time I saw you.
00:13:25Now I find you wandering around.
00:13:28I finally realized what you were missing, huh?
00:13:31Get your hands off me.
00:13:34Plain hard to get.
00:13:36I thought it was cute before, but now...
00:13:39Come on, baby.
00:13:41This is what you really came in for.
00:13:45Right?
00:13:50Uncle!
00:13:52What are you doing?
00:13:53Your filthy hands off of my fiancée.
00:13:58Fiancée?
00:13:59Uncle?
00:14:04Fiancée?
00:14:06No way.
00:14:07She is just...
00:14:09Shut your mouth.
00:14:10Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:14:15Come on.
00:14:16This is crazy.
00:14:18You seriously don't know.
00:14:23I won't repeat myself.
00:14:24You stay away from my fiancée.
00:14:29One more word and you can kiss your trust fund goodbye.
00:14:45Are you alright?
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:48Yeah, I'm fine.
00:14:50I just...
00:14:54Ethan's your nephew?
00:14:55And he's your...
00:14:58Well...
00:14:59He may have been kind of...
00:15:01My boyfriend.
00:15:04Ex.
00:15:05Ex-boyfriend.
00:15:06Very ex.
00:15:07Extremely ex.
00:15:08I see.
00:15:10Thompson will bring your things up shortly.
00:15:12Thanks.
00:15:13Um...
00:15:15Where will I be staying?
00:15:17Here.
00:15:23What?
00:15:24Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple are sleeping in separate rooms.
00:15:29Oh.
00:15:32Right.
00:15:33Fake engagement.
00:15:35Real roommates.
00:15:38This is the line.
00:15:40Don't cross it.
00:15:41Ever.
00:15:42I wasn't planning on it.
00:15:43Good.
00:15:44Didn't want you to.
00:15:45Good.
00:15:46I won't.
00:15:46Okay.
00:16:01See?
00:16:02My brilliant plan work.
00:16:07Wait, how did I...
00:16:11Sir, our new project in Singapore has been blooming.
00:16:14I mean, we have some meetings for you to attend to discuss our future plans with the board members.
00:16:19Sir?
00:16:24You okay?
00:16:26You okay?
00:16:27I changed.
00:16:28Jesus Christ.
00:16:29You okay?
00:16:30Yeah.
00:16:31I'm fine.
00:16:32Continue.
00:16:33Okay.
00:16:33So, the meeting.
00:16:34Singapore.
00:16:43Layla.
00:16:45Stay on your side.
00:16:51Layla.
00:16:53Layla, wake up.
00:17:07Layla.
00:17:09Oh, my God.
00:17:47Okay, maintain control.
00:17:54Oh, that's cold.
00:17:57That's cold.
00:18:06Ow.
00:18:07Sorry.
00:18:09I didn't see you.
00:18:10It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:16Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancée.
00:18:20Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:23Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:36Tell me, dear, how did you meet Adrienne?
00:18:42Through mutual friends.
00:18:43Really?
00:18:45Mutual friends.
00:18:48Pray tell, what mutual friend would Adrienne possibly have in your social circle?
00:18:55Unless, of course, it was a business arrangement.
00:18:59I'm sorry.
00:19:04A girl in your position surely would have negotiated.
00:19:11The only negotiations was whether I'd take his last name or keep mine.
00:19:14Well, then, next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:21You, as Adrienne's fiancée, would be expected to attend.
00:19:27I'd be honored.
00:19:32Helen, make sure to take good care of your mistress.
00:19:53Excuse me, Miss Reed.
00:19:54I need to clean.
00:19:56Oh, of course.
00:19:57Let me just get myself out of your way.
00:20:02Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:08How creative.
00:20:09It must be harder in your family watching you change a rich man.
00:20:13As a maid, maybe you should just focus on your own job.
00:20:16My business is none of your concern.
00:20:22Oh, how long told me.
00:20:26Stop it.
00:20:29Oh, really?
00:20:29I can see you.
00:20:30You could just marry a rich man.
00:20:32You're just trash trying to climb a social ladder.
00:20:36Hey, Mr. Crawford.
00:20:40She was trying to attack me.
00:20:44I'm just trying to help.
00:20:46Get out.
00:20:47It's so I can't explain.
00:20:49One more word and you're fired.
00:20:50Get out.
00:20:55What happened?
00:20:56Nothing.
00:20:58I just...
00:21:00I need some space.
00:21:02I'll stay in the guest room tonight.
00:21:04Lali, you don't have to.
00:21:05Please.
00:21:08I need some time alone.
00:21:09No, you stay.
00:21:11I'll sleep on the salt.
00:21:20I miss her so much, Daddy.
00:21:23Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:25As long as we can get you better,
00:21:28I will let the words get to me.
00:21:30I promise.
00:21:38Lali, what happened?
00:21:42What should I do?
00:21:54How's the happy couple today?
00:22:03Oh, this is awkward.
00:22:05Oh, this is awkward.
00:22:14No worries.
00:22:15It's just a small pinch.
00:22:16That is not small.
00:22:23It's okay.
00:22:24Over here.
00:22:25Here's that.
00:22:32It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:43Mr. Crawford, it is your time for the sperm collection.
00:22:47Okay.
00:22:48How do we do this water equipment?
00:22:49Do we need?
00:22:50No need.
00:22:51Just head to the correction room
00:22:52and use your hand.
00:22:54Okay.
00:22:55Okay.
00:22:55Okay.
00:22:57Okay.
00:22:59Okay.
00:23:02Okay.
00:23:15And pretend she's not right out that door.
00:23:21Mr. Crawford, are you all right in there?
00:23:27I'm fine.
00:23:28I just, uh, need some assistance.
00:23:32Oh, do you need help?
00:23:34What?
00:23:35No, wait.
00:23:35I didn't mean.
00:23:36Are you sure?
00:23:37I can come in there.
00:23:41Um.
00:23:46Okay.
00:23:47Come in.
00:23:59So.
00:24:01Do you want to help?
00:24:02Yeah.
00:24:02What can I?
00:24:05Oh my God.
00:24:06You saw.
00:24:08No, no.
00:24:09I didn't.
00:24:09Um.
00:24:10I didn't.
00:24:11I, um.
00:24:12I'm.
00:24:13I'm.
00:24:15I'm going to go.
00:24:16I'm going to go.
00:24:17I'm going to go so far away.
00:24:20Helpful.
00:24:35Are you okay?
00:24:36Dr. Anderson said the hormone shots might hurt a little, but...
00:24:40You're in pain.
00:24:41It's just some discomfort.
00:24:42It'll pass.
00:24:43I'll be okay.
00:24:45Okay.
00:24:49Here, this should help.
00:25:09Um, well, the hormone shots were part of the agreement.
00:25:12So any resulting discomfort is technically a work-related issue.
00:25:17And as your employer, have a duty of care.
00:27:19But no sense of time either.
00:27:21I need to have a serious talk with Adrian.
00:27:24Probably just staying for a wardrobe.
00:27:25Can't find something to wear.
00:27:28A fashion designer scrounging around for an outfit.
00:27:32How ironic.
00:27:33Maybe her designs are just too embarrassing to be seen in public.
00:27:37Okay.
00:27:38But seriously.
00:27:39I mean, I do pity her, right?
00:27:43Her worthless clothing and our beautiful home.
00:27:46I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:51Go get her now.
00:28:14Apologies for the delay.
00:28:24My, my, my.
00:28:26Trying hard to get the part.
00:28:30James!
00:28:31Make 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.
00:28:45Although money can buy you designer clothing, it can't buy you a good upbringing.
00:28:52Actually, I made the dress myself.
00:28:54The little seamstress that you are.
00:28:56How quaint.
00:28:58At least we know who will be darning.
00:29:01Adrian sucks.
00:29:05You know, I wasn't brought up into wealth, but I was raised to something far more valuable.
00:29:10Integrity.
00:29:12Integrity.
00:29:13Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:29:22How much?
00:29:24How much would it take for you to disappear?
00:29:28Name your price.
00:29:29Mr. Crawford, I believe that's the difference between you and me.
00:29:32I don't think everything can be bothered me.
00:29:37Excuse me.
00:29:39Excuse me.
00:29:49Stay calm.
00:29:51You got this.
00:29:53All dressed up for me, baby.
00:30:01I need to get back to dinner.
00:30:02What's the rush?
00:30:03We're all family here.
00:30:07Almost family.
00:30:08Don't touch me.
00:30:09You used to like it when I touched you.
00:30:12Remember how shy you were?
00:30:13Always saying no.
00:30:14Let go of me, you creep.
00:30:16Right?
00:30:16Careful now.
00:30:17One scream and everyone at dinner will find out what kind of a girl you really are.
00:30:21And her love history.
00:30:23Oh!
00:30:34Is everything okay?
00:30:36Hey, you look a bit flustered.
00:30:40As I was saying about the Wilson, Roger.
00:30:46Stop it.
00:30:48Something wrong with us, read.
00:30:58Enough.
00:30:59No manners, no class.
00:31:01I don't know how you managed to seduce my son.
00:31:04Someone like you never deserve a place in this family.
00:31:09I'm the one that told her to stay here and be with me.
00:31:18Adrian.
00:31:20If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:31:24You want to know how we met?
00:31:27She crashed into my life.
00:31:28Quite literally.
00:31:30She'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.
00:31:38Even 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.
00:31:48Not somebody else's.
00:31:50And she's tough.
00:31:51Even after everything you did to humiliate her,
00:31:54she didn't walk away in anger.
00:31:55And she's still here.
00:31:57I thought you were supposed to be in Atlanta.
00:31:59How did you...
00:32:02Sir, two things.
00:32:04First, your mother's invited Mrs. Crawford to the family dinner.
00:32:06Second, the daddy's ready.
00:32:08We can go now.
00:32:12Cancel Atlanta.
00:32:14But, but, but, sir, the...
00:32:17Roger.
00:32:18Yes, sir.
00:32:32What a cutchin' story, Uncle.
00:32:35Good bad it's either a complete lie or...
00:32:38She's been playing us both.
00:32:40What are you talking about?
00:32:42We've been dating for three years.
00:32:45See?
00:32:54So, clearly she planned all this.
00:32:57Dated me first to get to know the family.
00:32:59And now, well, set her sights higher.
00:33:03Manipulative little...
00:33:04Face it, Uncle.
00:33:05You're just another step on her ladder to the top.
00:33:08Who knows how many men she's slept with already, right?
00:33:12You're right.
00:33:14We did date for three years, but you were cheating on me for two of them.
00:33:22What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:24Nudes?
00:33:28What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:30Nudes?
00:33:31Or do you record videos?
00:33:38That was for every lie you just told me.
00:33:40You lie lie.
00:33:42How dare you, Adrian, hit my son!
00:33:51Where do you think you're going?
00:33:53We're not finished yet.
00:33:56Yes, we are.
00:34:02I'm sorry.
00:34:03I should have never left you alone with my family.
00:34:05It's okay.
00:34:08Thank you for coming back.
00:34:10And for all the kind lies you said about us.
00:34:15What happened to your hands?
00:34:17Oh, I was fixing the hemline and I can get kind of clumsy with the needles.
00:34:21Lava, sit down.
00:34:23Let me have a look at that.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:28Sit down.
00:34:29Let me have a look at that.
00:34:30Okay.
00:34:33As my fiance, 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.
00:35:01Dr. Anderson.
00:35:02Mr. Crawford, the psychos are ready.
00:35:05We can proceed with the implementation tomorrow morning.
00:35:08I see.
00:35:10What is it?
00:35:11Is it going along 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 how it's been.
00:35:27So, what do you think?
00:35:33Um, we should probably get some sleep.
00:35:37You know, the procedure.
00:35:39Oh.
00:35:41Good night, Mr. Crawford.
00:35:54You don't need to be so nervous.
00:35:56Mr. Crawford, try to relax.
00:35:59Can I open up the chin?
00:36:00It might feel a little bit cold.
00:36:04Is it cold?
00:36:09That white little spot.
00:36:11Yeah.
00:36:12That's our baby.
00:36:15Really?
00:36:24I 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.
00:36:30Hey, I'm just following medical protocol.
00:36:47Ethan, in order to claim your inheritance, you have to find a way to break them up, no matter what
00:36:54it takes.
00:36:56Maybe finding the chance to get her back into my arms is the best way.
00:37:23Maybe finding the chance to get her back into my arms is the best way.
00:37:31Adrian?
00:37:32I'm quiet.
00:37:33You want my help?
00:37:35Let go of me.
00:37:36You used to like being in my arms.
00:37:39Remember all those late nights together?
00:37:41Did she?
00:37:49Remember all those late nights together?
00:37:52Did she?
00:38:01I was just getting some food.
00:38:04Get out.
00:38:07Adrian?
00:38:10Mother.
00:38:11What's wrong?
00:38:12My stomach.
00:38:15If anything, anything happens to me, Fionki, or our unborn child, you will pay.
00:38:29So you've been cheating all along.
00:38:31A few weeks with my uncle and you're carrying his child.
00:38:35You want a perfect little family?
00:38:37It is not going to happen.
00:38:49Thompson, cancel all my plans.
00:38:51Everything for the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:54Sir, what happened?
00:38:55You need my help?
00:38:56You can't help me on this.
00:38:57Just do as I say.
00:39:01You and Ethan, you've never gotten along, have you?
00:39:06Why?
00:39:07You seem to care a lot about him.
00:39:09No, it's not like that.
00:39:11Just get some rest.
00:39:13You had a rough day.
00:39:15Why did you choose to believe me about Ethan?
00:39:18Just...
00:39:19Just...
00:39:20I know you're not like that.
00:39:24Just get some rest.
00:39:26Make yourself a home.
00:39:27Anything you need, anything you want, I'll be around.
00:39:31Whatever I want?
00:39:48What in the...
00:39:50What are you doing?
00:39:52This is junk food.
00:39:55Like, these have zero nutritional value.
00:39:58You can't take those.
00:40:00The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:02The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:04And chips.
00:40:05And chips.
00:40:06And ice cream.
00:40:08You wouldn't deny anyone, Jack.
00:40:10I've been doing research into optimal pregnancy nutrition, okay?
00:40:14Week by week, what you should be having every day.
00:40:17I've got a meal plan, breakfast, lunch.
00:40:19How about a compromise?
00:40:22One treat per day.
00:40:24Half a treat.
00:40:25Three quarters?
00:40:26Three quarters?
00:40:27Three quarters?
00:40:27Three quarters?
00:40:31Four quarters?
00:40:32Three quarters?
00:40:32Three quarters?
00:40:35Four alone?
00:40:37The Murphy's building is stable and developing perfectly.
00:40:40Really?
00:40:41Three quarters?
00:40:47Six quarters.
00:40:48Six quarters.
00:40:49Five quarters.
00:40:56Six quarters.
00:40:57Yeah, I got it. I promise. I can do it myself.
00:41:05Maybe you should call the doctor.
00:41:09Yeah.
00:41:10Yeah, Dr. Anderson. Yeah, we're ready.
00:41:12I'm putting you on speaker.
00:41:16First, remove the clothes.
00:41:22Now, exposing your legs.
00:41:26Apply the oil and gently massage her muscles with your palms.
00:41:42You know, I'm actually feeling kind of sick, so why don't we try this again tomorrow?
00:41:50And, um, I'm gonna go.
00:41:56I'm gonna go.
00:42:00Yeah, sorry, Dr. Anderson. We might have to try this again sometime.
00:42:03Yeah, thank you. Bye.
00:42:17The Charity Gala isn't a test.
00:42:19Your dad requests specifically that I attend.
00:42:22And you look perfect.
00:42:36Just be yourself.
00:42:50Adrian!
00:42:52It's been so long.
00:42:55You look exactly the same.
00:43:07And you must be the fiancé.
00:43:10I'm so pleased Adrian's finally found someone after all this time.
00:43:16Thank you. It's very sweet.
00:43:17I'm sorry, you are just someone who wants Adrian's happiness.
00:43:22More than anything.
00:43:27Oh, my God.
00:43:29You two are finally back together.
00:43:31Everyone, look who is here.
00:43:33The golden couple.
00:43:36I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged.
00:43:39I knew.
00:43:40It must be you, Vivian.
00:43:43It's a perfect match.
00:43:45Just like Harvard.
00:43:47Where is your wedding?
00:43:54Actually, I'd like everyone to meet my fiancé, Lila Reed.
00:43:59We're expecting our first child.
00:44:02And yes, you're all invited to the wedding.
00:44:09She's pregnant?
00:44:11I'm so sorry.
00:44:13I just assumed.
00:44:16My congratulations to you both again.
00:44:19I want to talk to you about this.
00:44:21Marriage, you're going to be back.
00:44:31They could be so judgmental, can't they?
00:44:34Don't take it personally, dear.
00:44:43You do look like the perfect couple.
00:44:51Drinking.
00:44:53Thought you were pregnant.
00:44:56That's none of your business.
00:44:58Do you even know the true Adrian?
00:45:00I tell you he's someone who cares a lot about love.
00:45:04What do you want?
00:45:08Look.
00:45:11Are they the perfect couple?
00:45:13You know, he'd do anything for her.
00:45:15Even save her from the pains of childbirth.
00:45:21Yeah.
00:45:22They've been real happy ever since she got back.
00:45:28Get it now, don't you?
00:45:31He's just using you to have a baby so that she doesn't have to.
00:45:35You're so naive.
00:45:39So I'm just a tool to have a baby?
00:45:49I don't want my fiancé thinking there's anything between them.
00:46:06What do you think you're doing?
00:46:08You're pregnant.
00:46:10Why are you drinking?
00:46:11Why do you care?
00:46:14It's soda, okay?
00:46:15I know what I'm doing.
00:46:24What happened back there?
00:46:26Talk to me.
00:46:28Lila, I'm worried.
00:46:29What, so you'll talk to Ethan but not me?
00:46:33When you were having such a lovely chat with your girlfriend back there,
00:46:36did you even notice I was there?
00:46:43Lila, I'm worried about you.
00:46:45Worried about me?
00:46:46Or worried about your baby?
00:46:51Worried about me?
00:46:53Or worried about your baby?
00:46:54What's that supposed to mean, Amy?
00:46:56You know, is that why you've been so nice to me?
00:46:57All of a sudden, giving me snacks and being protected.
00:47:00What, because of carrying your child?
00:47:02Lila, why are you acting so weird since yesterday?
00:47:05Did you date Vivian?
00:47:06Yes.
00:47:07And now she wants to get back together with you?
00:47:09Yes.
00:47:09So what, am I just some replacement for her?
00:47:11Is that why you were looking for a surrogate?
00:47:13Yes, I wanted a surrogate, but it wasn't for Vivian.
00:47:16No, you know what, I get it.
00:47:17I get it.
00:47:18Follow the contract, have your baby.
00:47:25Thompson.
00:47:26Sir, sorry to bother you at night.
00:47:28The Singapore merger is falling apart.
00:47:29We need you here immediately.
00:47:31I'm in the middle of something.
00:47:32I can't.
00:47:33The board is threatening to pull out.
00:47:38Okay, I'll be there.
00:47:42Lila, we need to talk about this.
00:47:45As soon as I get back.
00:47:46Sure.
00:47:48Business first.
00:47:55Sir, there have been some complications.
00:47:57Explain.
00:47:58Well, during your absence, Ethan has been meeting with board members.
00:48:00Suggestion that your sudden marriage plans may indicate that you're unstable to run the company.
00:48:04Sir, several executives are questioning if somebody so personally invested could run the company.
00:48:21Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing...
00:48:23My personal life?
00:48:24Your sudden absence has...
00:48:26Let me be very clear about something.
00:48:28This company had a 40% profit loss before I took over.
00:48:34Within three years, I tripled our market share.
00:48:37Every major merger.
00:48:39Every successful acquisition.
00:48:41Every stock surge.
00:48:42My strategies.
00:48:43My execution.
00:48:49So yes, I'm getting married.
00:48:52And yes, I took some time off.
00:48:54But no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:49:02Because without me, there wouldn't even be a company to inherit.
00:49:06So now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:49:17No.
00:49:30Get out.
00:49:31Lila, there's nothing between me and Vivian.
00:49:34The surrogacy is not for her.
00:49:36I know what I saw.
00:49:37Just get out.
00:50:04Uh...
00:50:05Adrian!
00:50:08What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:12They're doing my job.
00:50:13Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:50:16Ever since she came into your life.
00:50:19You've been ruining...
00:50:20You've been undermining everything that we built.
00:50:22Leave Lila out of this.
00:50:24I don't need to stand here and listen to you.
00:50:26Oh, run along.
00:50:28The adults are talking business now.
00:50:31Don't worry, dear.
00:50:32We just need to borrow him for a moment.
00:50:34Business matters.
00:50:36Who wouldn't understand?
00:50:40She's nothing but a broodmare.
00:50:43Once she delivers, you pay her off and you'll be done with it.
00:50:47Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:50:50Someone like me.
00:50:55Vivian joins Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:50:59Non-negotiable.
00:51:01We'll be with you every day.
00:51:03Just like before.
00:51:05In your little pet project.
00:51:07She can stay at home with just eight.
00:51:09That's all she's good for.
00:51:12Get out!
00:51:13Both of you!
00:51:14Dare you!
00:51:16If you ever speak about my life like that again,
00:51:19I swear I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before I let either of you touch it.
00:51:25Adrian!
00:51:27Be reasonable!
00:51:29She's worth a thousand up here.
00:51:32Tomorrow, 9am.
00:51:34Vivian starts.
00:51:36No discussion.
00:51:38Is that all?
00:51:39For now, don't disappoint me again.
00:51:54Stop it! Stop checking!
00:51:56I was independent before him.
00:51:58I didn't need someone to create a real plan for me or hold me while I sleep.
00:52:07No.
00:52:09I'm not going to be that girl.
00:52:15I can work on my own.
00:52:18You know, I don't need his arrangements or his dental care.
00:52:25Just a tool for a baby.
00:52:35So Lila and Adrian's relationship is on the rocks.
00:52:38Well, if it isn't the perfect opportunity to gain her trust and trick her back to me.
00:52:44Lila!
00:52:46I'm fine.
00:52:47You're not fine.
00:52:48Hospital.
00:52:50Now.
00:52:51Put me down!
00:52:52Put me down!
00:52:58Thank you for bringing me here.
00:53:01I know we've had our...
00:53:03Differences.
00:53:05I'm like...
00:53:06Now you used to look at me like this.
00:53:08So sweet and sincere.
00:53:11No.
00:53:12Why not?
00:53:13You're telling me there's really nothing still between us.
00:53:17Ethan...
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.
00:53:29Ethan...
00:53:30Adrian, stop!
00:53:31What are you doing?
00:53:32I'm protecting you!
00:53:34Ethan, help me!
00:53:35He found me bleeding and brought me here.
00:53:37So now you're defending him?
00:53:38I'm defending the truth.
00:53:40Sometimes people surprise you.
00:53:42I see.
00:53:45Adrian...
00:53:45I'll get the doctor.
00:53:48Adrian...
00:53:53I want full blood work, fetal monitoring, and get the OBGYN down here.
00:53:59Sir, it's just a minor cut.
00:54:02I want to get a complete prenatal check-up.
00:54:05I've already called Dr. Reynolds, she'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:54:08So bossy.
00:54:09No, some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:54:14None of those beach dates we used to have.
00:54:16Ah, you said I was the best.
00:54:20Thompson, call on the catering.
00:54:24Yeah, they're one of the questions.
00:54:26Lila's been craving, sir.
00:54:29Medium 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 take-up.
00:54:46Everything's already being taken care of.
00:54:48You can defend him.
00:54:50If he touches you, Reagan.
00:54:53I'll be there.
00:54:55I didn't need to.
00:54:57Hey.
00:55:05Vivian was sick.
00:55:06I gave her a key and let her rest at our place.
00:55:10Overworked, they say.
00:55:11I'm cleaning up your company's mess.
00:55:14I have meetings.
00:55:16Well, cancel them.
00:55:18You're going to take care of her now.
00:55:21No negotiation.
00:55:22Well, either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you.
00:55:27Or I'll call an emergency board meeting.
00:55:35You can skip the performance, Vivian.
00:55:38It's still so cold.
00:55:41Remember the first time you bought me flowers?
00:55:44Yeah, that was a long time ago.
00:55:47Adrian, we could be that again.
00:55:53Whatever game you're playing here, it won't work.
00:55:59Get out.
00:56:01I don't want my fiance seeing you here.
00:56:04Maybe I was wrong.
00:56:07I should have trusted him.
00:56:08I should have given him a chance to explain.
00:56:14Because some things never change.
00:56:22Or maybe maybe maybe.
00:56:25Go back away.
00:56:39I'm not a good guy.
00:56:41No, I'm not a bad guy.
00:56:46I'm not a bad guy.
00:56:51They were so deaf-eyed.
00:56:51going to be a grandpa. Is that one of Ethan's boys? No, not him. Then who? It doesn't matter.
00:57:00Dad, look, what really matters is that this is my baby, and I am going to love them just
00:57:07like you love me. Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you. If
00:57:15I was healthier, if I could work. Dad, it's okay. The hospital bills, where are you going
00:57:22to get the money from? How are you going to pay for them? Please tell me you didn't sell
00:57:28yourself to someone. No, Dad, it isn't like that. Did someone take advantage of you? My
00:57:34little girl, pregnant and alone. She's not alone.
00:57:44Adrian. Mr. Reid. I'm Adrian Crawford. I'm the father of the child. Not 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
00:57:57our child have everything they deserve. Pretty words from a rich man. Not words. Facts. I've
00:58:06already arranged for you to be transferred to a private medical facility. Full treatment
00:58:10plan. The very best specialists. Adrian. And I promise you this. Every morning, your daughter
00:58:18will wake up knowing that she's cherished. Every decision I make, every step I take, will
00:58:25be to ensure her happiness. You really mean that, don't you? Yes, I do.
00:58:34Well, maybe I don't have to worry so much anymore.
00:58:46Saying 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. Everything I said was true.
00:58:56I thought you were just worried about me breaking the contract.
00:59:00Eileen, you have to understand something. I have been falling for you ever since you crashed
00:59:06into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
00:59:11Yes, we had a contract. But I realized you've become everything to me. Not my surrogate.
00:59:19Not my pretend fiancé. If you're willing, would you like to forget the contract and become
00:59:29my real wife?
00:59:40I have been... Did she come and see you? Did she hurt you?
00:59:45No. Just...
00:59:49Was it she or Trevilla? I saw you taking care of her.
00:59:52What? I have nothing to do with her anymore. Yes, my father asked her over, but I kicked her
00:59:58her out. I haven't had feelings for her since we broke up.
01:00:02Really?
01:00:11I'm not letting you go. Not ever.
01:00:22Surrogacy? Contract marriage?
01:00:27No, this is perfect.
01:00:31What was so urgent?
01:00:33I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you.
01:00:37If this is about Lila and my uncle...
01:00:39It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:00:42Your perfect uncle? He hired her. She's just a surrogate.
01:00:47The whole engagement is a lie.
01:00:50A contract?
01:00:54Oh, the board would love to hear about this.
01:00:58Next week's family meeting, we reveal everything.
01:01:02Until then, we need to find some evidence.
01:01:07And once he's ruined?
01:01:09I'll comfort him.
01:01:11Help him rebuild, of course.
01:01:13Show him who really belongs by his side.
01:01:16And Lila?
01:01:18Once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:01:21You can have your little toy back.
01:01:35Thankfully, Mr. Crawford gave me the key.
01:01:53Surrogatically moved.
01:01:57Limpical history.
01:01:59There must be some evidence somewhere.
01:02:04Adrian's always so organized.
01:02:08Where are the important documents?
01:02:22Adrian?
01:02:24Is that you?
01:02:26Is that you?
01:02:31Oh, shit.
01:02:37Vivian?
01:02:40Adrian?
01:02:42What are you doing here?
01:02:43I was just looking for you.
01:02:46You know, Adrian, if it's an heir you want,
01:02:50you 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.
01:03:05Wherever you want, darling.
01:03:07What if someone sees us?
01:03:09Scared?
01:03:11I know somewhere.
01:03:13Private.
01:03:19Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:03:25Adrian?
01:03:27Adrian?
01:03:28Enjoy the storage closet.
01:03:31Adrian!
01:03:46How'd it go?
01:03:47Just tried.
01:03:49Guessed as much.
01:03:50Don't worry.
01:03:51Got a new plan now.
01:03:53Dr. Anderson will tell us
01:03:55if there's a surrogate involved
01:04:00Everything looks perfect
01:04:01The baby is developing perfectly
01:04:03Really?
01:04:04Really, you have officially entered the stable station
01:04:08As long as you are gentle
01:04:10Intimacy is perfectly safe
01:04:15Listen to your buddies and then
01:04:17Thanks, thanks doc
01:04:19Thanks
01:04:29Mr. Anderson
01:04:34Let's talk about Lucene Sinclair's
01:04:37Arrangement
01:04:38Was it a contract surrogacy?
01:04:41Mr. Harrington
01:04:41I can't discuss the patient information
01:04:45I hear the hospital is opening up a new wing
01:04:49It would be ashamed of your name
01:04:51Mysteriously
01:04:53Disappeared
01:04:54The best
01:04:54Won't it?
01:04:59Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:12Oh my god
01:05:23Surrogacy
01:05:24Surrogacy
01:05:27Surrogacy
01:05:28Five generations
01:05:29Four for dignity
01:05:31All trash by a tabloid scandal
01:05:36A surrogacy
01:05:37A surrogate
01:05:38You used a surrogate
01:05:40To gain the inheritance?
01:05:42If that's what you wanted
01:05:43Adrian
01:05:43Why didn't you just say it?
01:05:45Why drag the family's name through the mud?
01:05:48This isn't true
01:05:50It's nothing but a malicious rumor
01:05:53Don't believe everything you see in the news
01:05:56Lila and I
01:06:12Lila and I
01:06:25We're in love
01:06:25They show Miss Reed
01:06:26Undergoing IVF treatment
01:06:28And was generously compensated
01:06:31A surrogate
01:06:33How vulgar
01:06:34You dare deceive me with this filth?
01:06:38Dragging the
01:06:39Crawford
01:06:40May through the mud
01:06:41I'll deal with it
01:06:43All right
01:06:44How?
01:06:46God knows what else you've schemed
01:06:49Actually
01:06:50I might have a solution
01:06:53Replace Adrian's fiance
01:06:54With me
01:06:56Let Lila take the fall in the media
01:06:59She's just a desperate gold digger
01:07:01Who wants to bear an heir
01:07:02Just so she can become queen
01:07:05Shut your mouth
01:07:11Fine
01:07:12We marry Vivian now
01:07:14Before you give up your shares
01:07:16And get out
01:07:18Adrian
01:07:19I always get the money we want
01:07:25Although if he does this
01:07:26He could still get inheritance
01:07:28No rush
01:07:29Let's get them into trouble
01:07:32He's fought too hard
01:07:33Until he's everything now
01:07:36He'll do it
01:07:39I'll give it all up
01:07:40The company
01:07:42My inheritance
01:07:45Everything
01:07:47But not Lila
01:07:50Not my wife
01:07:51The only woman I've ever loved
01:07:54And we're getting married
01:07:57Officially
01:07:59Publicly
01:08:09Simon
01:08:10You want to give up everything for her
01:08:12Give up your inheritance
01:08:14Everything goes to Eden
01:08:18Adrian
01:08:19You're giving up your inheritance
01:08:21Just for her
01:08:22Are you insane?
01:08:24I would never choose anything
01:08:26Over 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.
01:08:42So you've had this planned all along?
01:08:50Wait, wait, wait.
01:08:54I'm not worth giving up your future.
01:08:57You are my future.
01:08:58You might everything.
01:09:02You are natural.
01:09:15Let's go.
01:09:26Adrian.
01:09:28Hey, what's wrong?
01:09:31Don't tell me you only love me for my CEO status and your money.
01:09:34No, I can make more money.
01:09:37You know, I'm kind of excited to be your sugar mommy.
01:09:40I've always wanted sugar mommy.
01:09:41I hate you.
01:09:43Wait, yeah, I was going to grab something from the car.
01:09:56What are you doing here?
01:09:58Why?
01:09:59Why?
01:10:00What does she have that I don't?
01:10:01Why do you always choose her?
01:10:03It's simple.
01:10:05I love her.
01:10:07Not you.
01:10:08Adrian, please.
01:10:09Please.
01:10:09I was wrong.
01:10:11Please.
01:10:19I'm a happy soul.
01:10:19I'm a happy soul.
01:10:20I'm a happy soul.
01:10:33I'm happy.
01:10:33I'm happy.
01:10:38I'm happy.
01:10:39I have to make you feel free.
01:10:39You're happy.
01:10:40I'm happy.
01:10:41I'm happy.
01:10:41Hey.
01:10:44Hi.
01:10:45Beautiful.
01:10:50Yeah, it is.
01:11:00Milo, were you?
01:11:03Yes, of course.
01:11:15When did you get this?
01:11:17Back when I realized I'd give up everything for you.
01:11:37How's it going?
01:11:39Good.
01:11:40Just finished my last sketch.
01:11:42Because when you were sugar mom, you just landed another big deal.
01:11:50Yeah?
01:11:51Adrian, come back to the Crawford family.
01:11:55Come back to your position and your inheritance.
01:12:04What do you mean you're canceling the contract?
01:12:07We've been partners for ten years.
01:12:12Grandfather, no.
01:12:14Please don't call Adrian.
01:12:18So you want me to come back?
01:12:20I have to ask my wife.
01:12:24What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:12:31First order of business today.
01:12:34What is this?
01:12:36Starting without me.
01:12:37Perfect timing.
01:12:38I was just announcing your termination.
01:12:42The company crisis last month, turns out, wasn't an accident.
01:12:46Ethan deliberately sabotaged every deal.
01:12:49There's no proof.
01:12:51You misappropriated partnership funds to indulge in your own personal affairs.
01:12:56Bad investments, shady deals, and reckless spending have led us to financial setbacks and operational setbacks.
01:13:06And, and it's all documented right here.
01:13:10The lawsuit's already been filed.
01:13:13What?
01:13:14You actually did this?
01:13:16No, Grandpa.
01:13:18He's lying.
01:13:19It's all a lie.
01:13:21Dad.
01:13:22Either you let me handle this my way,
01:13:25or I can still walk.
01:13:31Adrian.
01:13:37Mr. Crawford, the vote for new director.
01:13:43Competence is everything.
01:13:46I'm getting old.
01:13:48And from now on,
01:13:51Adrian will handle everything.
01:13:53No.
01:13:55Don't listen to him.
01:13:56Don't listen to him.
01:13:57Please.
01:13:58You're making a mistake.
01:13:59Where are you going?
01:14:02My company, you hear that?
01:14:04My fucking company.
01:14:05Come back.
01:14:11The baby's asleep.
01:14:14Guess that means I get you all to myself.
01:14:18Don't distract me.
01:14:19I'm almost finished.
01:14:21I'm designing my wedding dress.
01:14:24Incredible.
01:14:26I might hire you to design my tux.
01:14:29You know,
01:14:31I 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,
01:14:42I haven't been able to get you out of my head.
01:14:45And soon I'll be able to love you openly
01:14:48and officially for the rest of my life.
01:14:52I'm practicing your vows.
01:14:54I'm practicing your vows.
01:14:58We practice the kiss as well.
01:15:00If you have to.
01:15:14Your father said no fiancé by Christmas,
01:15:18no inheritance.
01:15:19Do you really want to give all of that up?
01:15:27Everybody,
01:15:28this is my new girlfriend.
01:15:30You didn't tell me your parents were this rich.
01:15:35I brought you all a basket from the Miller Farm.
01:15:37A bottom.
01:15:38I'm having to live.
