00:00:04Miss 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 going to 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.
00:00:27Babe, 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...
00:00:38Maybe it's not such a bad idea to have a baby sooner rather than later.
00:00:44No, I'm gonna tell him now.
00:00:46Yeah.
00:00:46Here.
00:00:50Oh!
00:01:05Early ovarian failure at 25?
00:01:08If 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!
00:01:38You said you'd be back at 7.
00:01:40Chidi?
00:01:40Is this the big surprise you had planned for me?
00:01:46Oh, 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?
00:01:57Come join us.
00:01:58Three years.
00:01:59You know, I wasted three years on you.
00:02:02God, I'm such an idiot.
00:02:04You know, I was planning on having a baby.
00:02:06A baby.
00:02:07A baby.
00:02:09Sweetheart.
00:02:18You really think I'd marry you for your cheap love over legs like these?
00:02:24You know what?
00:02:27We're done.
00:02:29Six months?
00:02:30What?
00:02:31Am I just supposed to find some random guy to get me pregnant?
00:02:44I don't need a man to have my dreams come true.
00:02:47One appointment.
00:02:48One sperm donor.
00:02:51And I can have my own baby.
00:02:59Six months to produce an heir or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:03:05Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:03:08Sir, the surrogate candidates have all been vetted thoroughly.
00:03:12I mean, Ivy League graduates, impeccable healthcare histories.
00:03:17I don't need resumes.
00:03:19I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:03:22Find me someone who knows their place.
00:03:24Someone who will quietly disappear after they give birth.
00:03:32You.
00:03:35Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:03:37Oh, um, right.
00:03:40Well, let's get started.
00:03:44Education background?
00:03:46Excuse me?
00:03:47And I'm going to need a complete medical history.
00:03:49Family genetic conditions, mostly.
00:03:51Um, do you exercise regularly?
00:03:53You look...
00:03:57Acceptable.
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.
00:04:08Why are men always so fools themselves?
00:04:10Um...
00:04:12Um, 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?
00:04:20Mr. Crawford, I can show her out.
00:04:22It's okay.
00:04:23Thompson, you can leave us.
00:04:24Okay.
00:04:26What are you doing?
00:04:33I'm making sure this is thorough.
00:04:41I'm making sure this is thorough.
00:04:50Cycling.
00:04:51As for...
00:04:54Intimate matters, I can assure you that performance has never been a problem.
00:04:59Now that Thompson's gone, are you comfortable sharing yours?
00:05:01Um, of course.
00:05:03I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:05:05I know kinetic conditions, I get checkups regularly.
00:05:09I haven't started taking prenatal vitamins.
00:05:13Good.
00:05:14I have to say, you're a perfect match.
00:05:17How about...
00:05:18In regards to compensation, have you got a figure in mind?
00:05:21Well, I was thinking...
00:05:23Eight hundred dollars?
00:05:25Eight hundred dollars?
00:05:27Well...
00:05:29I was expecting a figure...
00:05:32Much higher than that.
00:05:33I know it's not much, but...
00:05:34You know...
00:05:36Considering the quality...
00:05:38And I could help out in other ways.
00:05:39I could do your paperwork, or...
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...
00:05:59After birth, the child stays with me.
00:06:01No contact.
00:06:02Are you...
00:06:03Are you kidding me?
00:06:04You wanna keep my baby?
00:06:07Are you kidding me?
00:06:08You wanna keep my baby?
00:06:10My baby!
00:06:12Is this some kind of sick joke?
00:06:14That's standard procedure for a surrogacy agreement.
00:06:17Surrogacy what? Surrogacy!
00:06:19The position that you're interviewing for.
00:06:21Interviewing? No, I came here to buy sperm.
00:06:24You came to what?
00:06:29Oh my god.
00:06:32I...
00:06:35I thought you were a donor.
00:06:37That is why I came in asking you all those questions about your...
00:06:40qualifications.
00:06:42And I thought you were applying to be my surrogate.
00:06:46I am...
00:06:48So sorry about all the confusion. I...
00:06:53I'm gonna go.
00:06:56A million dollars.
00:06:58For caring my child.
00:07:05I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:07:08Not somebody else's.
00:07:14Next.
00:07:22Miss Reed.
00:07:23Your father.
00:07:24You need to come now.
00:07:34My love.
00:07:37Excuse me.
00:07:38Okay, dad. You're gonna be okay.
00:07:40I'm not afraid to die.
00:07:43I'm just afraid to leave you alone.
00:07:48Dad?
00:07:50Dad.
00:07:51Doctor!
00:07:52Help! Please!
00:08:02A doctor. My father. How is he?
00:08:04The cancer has spread aggressively, without immediate treatment.
00:08:08Then treat him. Now!
00:08:10The 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.
00:08:22Is this the last batch?
00:08:23Yes, sir.
00:08:24The brunette asked me if I can do this.
00:08:25She asked about ring sizes.
00:08:26Blonde.
00:08:27All she asked about?
00:08:28A big name?
00:08:29And a redhead.
00:08:30Yeah, well, all of them just want the Crawford name.
00:08:34But none of them are suitable.
00:08:39This one was refreshing.
00:08:43She was real.
00:08:45No schemes.
00:08:46Well, Mr. Crawford, she wasn't here for servicing.
00:08:50Sometimes the best candidates aren't looking for the job.
00:08:53Oh my God.
00:08:53A million dollars?
00:08:56Maybe I could get a loan?
00:09:02A million dollars.
00:09:04For caring my child.
00:09:18Hello?
00:09:19Lila Reid.
00:09:20This is Adrienne Crawford.
00:09:27I saw her thinking.
00:09:32About the other day, I think I may have been a 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.
00:09:48I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:09:55What kind of modification?
00:09:57Joint custody.
00:10:00As 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.
00:10:11The qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:10:16So...
00:10:18I'd really be a part of the baby's life?
00:10:20Yes.
00:10:20But just to be clear, we'll be parents.
00:10:24Nothing more.
00:10:26No emotional entanglements.
00:10:27No romantic expectations.
00:10:29Please don't flatter yourself.
00:10:33Father.
00:10:35The board is getting impatient.
00:10:37Have you considered the arrangement that I suggested?
00:10:41I have my own plans.
00:10:43Hey.
00:10:43If you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an error.
00:10:48Forget it.
00:10:49The quote-unquote name means something.
00:10:52I won't have it tainted by...
00:10:55I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:10:58What?
00:10:58I will talk about it again.
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?
00:11:14Didn't somebody just say,
00:11:16Just parents, nothing more?
00:11:19The 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.
00:11:33What 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.
00:11:42No, the original match is fine.
00:11:44It's just...
00:11:47I do need it soon.
00:11:51So?
00:12:20Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:12:23We were heightened.
00:12:49My whole apartment could fit in this 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?
00:13:07Had to follow me here like a lost puppy dog.
00:13:10Followed you? No, I didn't...
00:13:12Wait, what are you doing here?
00:13:14What am I doing here?
00:13:15Sweetheart, you should know better.
00:13:17This is my family's home.
00:13:22You were so mad last time I saw you.
00:13:25Now I find you wandering around.
00:13:29I finally realized what you were missing, huh?
00:13:31Get your hands off me.
00:13:34Playing hard to get.
00:13:36I thought it was cute before, but now...
00:13:40Come on, baby.
00:13:41This is what you really came in for.
00:13:45Alright?
00:13:50Uncle!
00:13:52What are you doing?
00:13:53Your filthy hands off of my fiancé.
00:13:58Fiancé?
00:14:00Uncle?
00:14:05Fiancé?
00:14:06No way.
00:14:08She is just...
00:14:09Shut your mouth.
00:14:11Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:14:15Come on.
00:14:16This is crazy.
00:14:19You seriously don't know.
00:14:23I won't repeat myself.
00:14:25Stay away from my fiancé.
00:14:29One more word and you can kiss your trust fund goodbye.
00:14:37No way.
00:14:37No way.
00:14:38No way.
00:14:40No way.
00:14:46Are you alright?
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:48Yeah, I'm fine.
00:14:49I...
00:14:50I just...
00:14:54Ethan's your nephew?
00:14:55And he's your...
00:14:58Well...
00:15:00He may have been kinda...
00:15:02My 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.
00:15:14Um...
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.
00:16:02See?
00:16:03My brilliant plan work.
00:16:07Wait, how did I...
00:16:11Sir, our new project in Singapore has been blooming.
00:16:13I mean, we have some meetings for you to attend, to discuss our future plans with the board members.
00:16:19Sir?
00:16:25You okay?
00:16:27Achoo!
00:16:28Jesus Christ!
00:16:30You okay?
00:16:31Yeah.
00:16:31We're fine.
00:16:32Continue.
00:16:33Okay.
00:16:33We're fine.
00:16:34So, the meeting.
00:16:35Singapore.
00:16:44Lila.
00:16:45Stay on your side.
00:16:51Lila.
00:16:53Lila, wake up.
00:17:07Lila.
00:17:10Come on!
00:17:13Feel free.
00:17:27Ah!
00:17:48Okay. Maintain control.
00:17:54Oh, that's cold. That's cold.
00:18:06Ow.
00:18:08Sorry, didn't see you.
00:18:10It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:15Ah.
00:18:16Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancée.
00:18:21Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:23Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:36Tell me, dear, how did you meet Adrian?
00:18:42Through mutual friends.
00:18:43Really? Mutual friends.
00:18:48Pray tell, what mutual friend would Adrian possibly have in your social circle?
00:18:56Unless, 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.
00:19:15Well, then, next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:21You, as Adrian's fiancée, would be expected to attend.
00:19:27I'd be honored.
00:19:29Wonderful.
00:19:29I'm sure you can find something suitable to wear.
00:19:38Helen, make sure to take good care of your mistress.
00:19:53Excuse me, Miss Reed.
00:19:55Need to clean.
00:19:56Oh, of course.
00:19:57Let me just get my stuff out of your way.
00:20:02Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:08How creative.
00:20:10It must be harder than your family watching you change a rich man.
00:20:14As a maid, maybe you should just focus on your own job.
00:20:16My business is none of your concern.
00:20:22Oh, how planned to help me.
00:20:27Stop it!
00:20:29Really?
00:20:30The thing is, you could just marry a rich man.
00:20:32You're just trash trying to climb a social ladder.
00:20:36Hey!
00:20:37Mr. Crawford!
00:20:40She was trying to attack me.
00:20:44I'm just trying to help.
00:20:47Get out.
00:20:47I'm sorry.
00:20:48Can you explain?
00:20:49One more word and you're fired.
00:20:51Get out.
00:20:55What happened?
00:20:57Nothing.
00:20:58I just...
00:21:00I need some space.
00:21:03I'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.
00:21:10No, you stay.
00:21:11I'll sleep on the song.
00:21:20I miss her so much, Daddy.
00:21:24Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:25As long as we can get you better,
00:21:28I won't let the words get to me.
00:21:30I promise.
00:21:39Lali, what happened?
00:21:42What should I do?
00:21:55How's the happy couple today?
00:22:03Oh, 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.
00:22:26Here's that.
00:22:32It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:44Mr. Crawford,
00:22:45it is your time for the sperm collection.
00:22:47Okay.
00:22:48How do we do this?
00:22:49What equipment do we need?
00:22:50No need.
00:22:51Just head to the collection room
00:22:52and use your hand.
00:22:54Okay.
00:23:16And pretend she's not right out that door.
00:23:22Mr. Crawford, are you all right in there?
00:23:27I'm fine.
00:23:28I just need some assistance.
00:23:33Oh, do you need help?
00:23:35No, wait.
00:23:35I didn't mean...
00:23:37Are you sure?
00:23:37I can come in there.
00:23:41Um...
00:23:45Okay.
00:23:47Come in.
00:23:49Come in.
00:23:59So...
00:24:01Do you want to help?
00:24:02Yeah, what can I...
00:24:05Oh, my God.
00:24:07You thought...
00:24:08No, no, I didn't.
00:24:10Um, I didn't.
00:24:11I, um...
00:24:12I'm...
00:24:14I'm...
00:24:14I'm gonna go.
00:24:16I'm gonna go.
00:24:18I'm gonna go so far away.
00:24:20Helpful.
00:24:35Are you okay?
00:24:37Dr. Anderson said the hormone chops 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.
00:24:50Here, this should help.
00:25:08Um, well, the hormone chops were part of the agreement.
00:25:13So any resulting discomfort is technically a work-related issue.
00:25:17And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:58Purely professional care.
00:26:26Adrian, wait.
00:26:26About this weekend.
00:26:28Sorry, emergency in Atlanta.
00:26:29The merger's falling apart.
00:26:31But...
00:26:31Thompson, have the jet ready in 20.
00:26:33Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:35Now, you know what?
00:26:37I can do it myself.
00:26:41I don't suppose that we could expect punctuality from someone who has never owned a watch in
00:26:49her entire life.
00:26:51I introduced him to the Thompson Arons.
00:26:55Senator Stolter.
00:26:56I don't know why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:27:02Ethan, what did you say that she does?
00:27:05A fashion designer?
00:27:06Worse.
00:27:09Seamstress.
00:27:10She probably thinks having the proper family do her name will raise her to the top and then
00:27:15she can have her own fashion show.
00:27:17She's poor.
00:27:18Fine.
00:27:19But no sense of time either.
00:27:22I need to have a serious talk with Adrian.
00:27:24Probably just staying for a wardrobe.
00:27:26Can'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.
00:27:40I mean, I do pity her, right?
00:27:43Her worthless clothing in our beautiful home.
00:27:46I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:51Go get her now.
00:27:57And I lay down with everything.
00:28:03Every white of me.
00:28:06I'm gone.
00:28:12To everything.
00:28:14Apologies for the delay.
00:28:25My, my, my.
00:28:27Trying hard to get the part.
00:28:30James!
00:28:31Make sure none of the silver is missing after dinner.
00:28:38At 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.
00:28:57How quaint.
00:28:58At least we know who will be darning Adrian's socks.
00:29:05You know, I wasn't brought up into wealth, but I was raised with 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 bought with me.
00:29:37Excuse me.
00:29:41Excuse 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.
00:30:09Don'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.
00:30:15Let go of me, you creep.
00:30:16Right?
00:30:17Careful now.
00:30:18One scream and everyone at dinner will find out what kind of a girl you really are.
00:30:22And her love history.
00:30:24Oh, come on.
00:30:35Is everything okay?
00:30:37You look a bit flustered.
00:30:41As I was saying about the rules of the furniture.
00:30:46Stop it.
00:30:48Something wrong with us, Reed?
00:30:58Enough.
00:30:59No manners.
00:31:01No 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.
00:31:19Adrian.
00:31:20If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:31:25You want to know how we met?
00:31:27She crashed into my life.
00:31:29Quite literally.
00:31:30She's brave.
00:31:32It's just a love letter in her hand.
00:31:33She confessed to me right there at the hospital.
00:31:37She's not into money.
00:31:38Even if someone dropped a million dollars in her feet, she would have been blank.
00:31:43For carrying my child.
00:31:45I 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, she didn't walk away in anger.
00:31:56And she's still here.
00:31:58I 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.
00:32:07Second, the daddy's ready.
00:32:08We can go now.
00:32:12Cancel Atlanta.
00:32:14But, but, but, sir, the murder...
00:32:18Murder?
00:32:19Yes, sir.
00:32:32What a touching story, Uncle.
00:32:36Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:32:40What are you talking about?
00:32:43We've been dating for three years.
00:32:46See?
00:32:55So, clearly she planned all this.
00:32:58Dated me first to get to know the family.
00:33:00And 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?
00:33:13You're right.
00:33:15We 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?
00:33:25Nudes?
00:33:28What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:31Nudes?
00:33:31Or do you record videos?
00:33:38That was for every lie you just told.
00:33:41You lie lie.
00:33:43How dare you, Adrian, hit my son!
00:33:52Where do you think you're going?
00:33:53We're not finished yet.
00:33:57Yes, 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.
00:34:22Landa, sit down.
00:34:23Let me have a look at that.
00:34:25Okay.
00:34:28Sit down.
00:34:29Let me have a look at that.
00:34:31Okay.
00:34:33As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:37I expect you to use them.
00:34:40I didn't want to assume.
00:34:44You're a Crawford now.
00:34:48I'd like it.
00:35:01Dr. Anderson.
00:35:03Mr. Crawford, the psychos are ready.
00:35:06We can proceed with the implementation tomorrow morning.
00:35:08I see.
00:35:11What is it?
00:35:11Is 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.
00:35:20That'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.
00:35:40Oh.
00:35:41Good night.
00:35:42Mr. Crawford.
00:35:55You don't need to be so nervous.
00:35:57Mrs. Crawford, try to relax.
00:35:59Can I open up this window?
00:36:01It might feel a little bit cold.
00:36:04You cold?
00:36:09The white little spot?
00:36:11Yeah.
00:36:12What's our baby?
00:36:15Really?
00:36:24I can't walk, you know.
00:36:26The doctor said to stay off your feet.
00:36:28Complete rest.
00:36:29You seem more nervous than I am.
00:36:30Hey, I'm just following medical protocol.
00:36:48Ethan, in order to claim your inheritance, you have to find a way to break them up, no matter what
00:36:54it takes.

00:48:06somebody so personally invested could run the company
00:48:21mr crawford we've been discussing my personal life your sudden absence is let me be very clear about something this

00:49:44and
00:50:04adrian
00:50:08What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:12Of doing my job.
00:50:13Your job is to follow the family's tragedy.
00:50:16Ever since she came into your life, you've been ruining, you've been undermining everything that we built.
00:50:23Leave 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.
00:50:35Business matters.
00:50:36I wouldn't understand.
00:50:40She's nothing but a fruit mare.
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.
00:51:04Just like before.
00:51:05And your little pet project.
00:51:07She can stay at home with a jest egg.
00:51:10That's all she's good for.
00:51:13Get out!
00:51:14Both of you!
00:51:15Dare you!
00:51:16If you ever speak about my wife like that again, I swear I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground
00:51:22before I let either of you touch it.
00:51:27Adrian, be reasonable.
00:51:29She is worth a thousand up here.
00:51:32Tomorrow, 9 a.m.
00:51:35Vivian starts.
00:51:36No discussion.
00:51:37Is that all?
00:51:39For now, don't disappoint me again.
00:51:55Stop it.
00:51:56Stop checking.
00:51:57I was independent before him.
00:51:58I didn't need someone to create a meal plan for me or hold me while I sleep.
00:52:08No.
00:52:10I'm not going to be that girl.
00:52:16I can work on my own.
00:52:18You know, I don't need his arrangements or his dental care.
00:52:25I'm just a tool for a baby.
00:52:35So Lila and Adrian's relationship is on the rocks.
00:52:39Well, 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 differences.
00:53:05I'm like...
00:53:06Now you used to look at me like this.
00:53:09So sweet and sincere.
00:53:11No.
00:53:12Why not?
00:53:14You're telling me there's really nothing still between us?
00:53:17Ethan.
00:53:18He's using you, Lila.
00:53:20Yeah, I know I've messed up, but...
00:53:22Seeing the way he treats you, it's tearing me apart.
00:53:28Ethan, you...
00:53:31Adrian, stop!
00:53:32What are you doing?
00:53:33I'm protecting you!
00:53:34Ethan, help me!
00:53:35He found me bleeding and brought me here.
00:53:37Now you're defending him?
00:53:38I'm defending the truth.
00:53:40Sometimes people surprise you.
00:53:43Now I see.
00:53:45Adrian.
00:53:46I'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 cough.
00:54:02I want to get a complete prenatal check-up.
00:54:05I've already called Dr. Reynolds.
00:54:07She'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:54:08So bossy.
00:54:10No, some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:54:14One of those beach dates we used to have.
00:54:17You said I was the best.
00:54:21Thompson, call in the catering.
00:54:24Yeah, they're one of the questions.
00:54:26Lila's been craving something.
00:54:29Medium fatty cut.
00:54:31Girl was up.
00:54:32I didn't say those.
00:54:34The prenatal vitamins I researched should arrive shortly.
00:54:37They're custom formulated for a Lila flood type and genetic makeup.
00:54:46Everything's already being taken care of.
00:54:49You can defend him.
00:54:50If he touches you, Reagan.
00:54:53I'll be there.
00:54:56I didn't mean to.
00:55:05Vivian was sick.
00:55:06I gave her a key and let her rest at our place.
00:55:10Overworked, they say.
00:55:12I'm cleaning up your company's mess.
00:55:14I have meetings.
00:55:17Well, cancel them.
00:55:19You're going to take care of her now.
00:55:21No negotiation.
00:55:23Well, 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.
00:55:39It's still so cold.
00:55:41Remember the first time you bought me flowers?
00:55:44Yeah, that was a long time ago.
00:55:48Adrian, we could be that again.
00:55:54Whatever game you're playing here, it won't work.
00:56:00Get out.
00:56:01I want my fiancee seeing you.
00:56:05Maybe I was wrong.
00:56:07I should have trusted him.
00:56:09I should have given him a chance to explain.
00:56:14I guess something's never changed.
00:56:32Laila.
00:56:33Hi, Dad.
00:56:40Your hand.
00:56:41It's nothing.
00:56:44Dad, I have something I want to tell you.
00:56:50I'm having a baby.
00:56:51You're going to be a grandpa.
00:56:54Is that one of Ethan's boys?
00:56:56No, not him.
00:56:57Then who?
00:56:59It doesn't matter.
00:57:00Dad, look.
00:57:02What really matters is that this is my baby.
00:57:05And I am going to love them just like you love me.
00:57:10Oh, sweetheart.
00:57:11I'm so sorry.
00:57:13I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you.
00:57:15If I was healthier, if I could work.
00:57:18Dad, it's okay.
00:57:20The hospital bills.
00:57:21Where are you going to get the money from?
00:57:24How are you going to pay for them?
00:57:27Please tell me you didn't sell yourself to someone.
00:57:30No, Dad.
00:57:30It isn't like that.
00:57:32Did someone take advantage of you?
00:57:34My little girl.
00:57:36Pregnant and alone.
00:57:38She's not alone.
00:57:44Adrian.
00:57:45Mr. Reed.
00:57:46I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:57:48I'm the father of the child.
00:57:51Not just the father.
00:57:53I'm the man who's going to spend the rest of his life making sure that your daughter and our child
00:57:58have everything they deserve.
00:58:00Pretty words from a rich man.
00:58:03Not words.
00:58:05Facts.
00:58:06I've already arranged for you to be transferred to a private medical facility.
00:58:10Full treatment plan.
00:58:11The very best specialists.
00:58:13Adrian.
00:58:14And I promise you this.
00:58:16Every morning, your daughter will wake up knowing that she's cherished.
00:58:21Every decision I make, every step I take, will be to ensure her happiness.
00:58:29You really mean that, don't you?
00:58:31Yes, I do.
00:58:34Well, maybe I don't have to worry so much anymore.
00:58:43Thank you for saying all that.
00:58:47I know you were just trying to make my dad feel better, but...
00:58:50I wasn't just trying to do anything.
00:58:54Everything I said was true.
00:58:56I thought you were just worried about me breaking the contract.
00:59:00Finally, you have to understand something.
00:59:03I have been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
00:59:11Yes, we had a contract.
00:59:14But I realized you've become everything to me.
00:59:18Not my surrogate.
00:59:20Not my pretend fiancé.
00:59:24If you're willing, would you like to forget the contract and become my real wife?
00:59:41I have been in love.
00:59:42I have been in love.
00:59:42Babe...
00:59:42Did she come and see you?
00:59:45Did she hurt you?
00:59:46No.
00:59:48Just...
00:59:49Was it she or Truella?
00:59:51I saw you taking care of her.
00:59:52What?
00:59:53I have nothing to do with her anymore.
00:59:56Yes, my father asked her over, but I kicked her out.
00:59:58I haven't had feelings for her since we broke up.
01:00:02Really?
01:00:11I'm not letting you go.
01:00:14Not ever.
01:00:22Surrogacy?
01:00:24Contract marriage?
01:00:27No, this is perfect.
01:00:32What 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?
01:00:40It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:00:42Your perfect uncle?
01:00:44He hired her.
01:00:46She'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.
01:01:03Until then, we need to find some evidence.
01:01:08And 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 truce 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.
01:01:53Surrogate agreement.
01:01:57What a cool history.
01:01:59There must be some evidence somewhere.
01:02:05Adrian's always so organized.
01:02:07Where are the important documents?
01:02:22Adrian?
01:02:24Is that you?
01:02:31Shit.
01:02:32What?
01:02:37Vivian!
01:02:40Oh, Adrian!
01:02:42What are you doing here?
01:02:44I was just looking for you.
01:02:46You know, Adrian, if it's an heir you want, you can make one right now.
01:02:54Poor Lila doesn't have to know.
01:02:56She's already asleep.
01:02:58It'll be our little secret.
01:03:02Here.
01:03:04In the hallway.
01:03:05Wherever you want, darling.
01:03:08What if someone sees us?
01:03:09Scared?
01:03:11I know somewhere.
01:03:14Private.
01:03:20Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:03:26Adrian?
01:03:27Adrian!
01:03:28Enjoy the storage closet.
01:03:31Adrian!
01:03:46How'd it go?
01:03:48Just drive.
01:03:49Guessed as much.
01:03:50Don't worry.
01:03:51Got a new plan now.
01:03:54Dr. Anderson will tell us if there's a surrogate involved.
01:04:01Everything looks perfect.
01:04:02The baby is developing perfectly.
01:04:04Really?
01:04:05Really.
01:04:05You have officially entered the stable station.
01:04:08As long as you are gentle, intimacy is perfectly safe.
01:04:14Oh.
01:04:15Listen to your buddies, and then...
01:04:18Thanks, Doc.
01:04:19Thanks.
01:04:26Thanks, Doc.
01:04:29Thanks.
01:04:29Mr. Anderson.
01:04:34Douglas, let's talk about the scene Sinclair's...
01:04:38Arrangement.
01:04:39Was it a contract service suit?
01:04:41Mr. Harrington.
01:04:42I can't discuss the patient information.
01:04:45I heard the hospital was opening up a new wind...
01:04:49Would you be ashamed if your name mysteriously...
01:04:55Want it?
01:04:59Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:12Oh, my God.
01:05:23Sir, is it?
01:05:25Sir, is it?
01:05:28Five generations.
01:05:30Four for dignity.
01:05:32Old trash by a tabloid scandal.
01:05:36A surrogate?
01:05:38You used a surrogate to gain the inheritance?
01:05:42If that's what you wanted, Adrian, why 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.
01:05:57Lila and I were in love.
01:06:03Your lives stop here, Uncle.
01:06:08Grandfather, the files.
01:06:11Proving their contract.
01:06:13Lila isn't his fiance.
01:06:14She's just a surrogate who got hired to bear an heir.
01:06:20Medical files from Crawford Fertility Center.
01:06:24They show Miss Reed undergoing IVF treatment and was generously compensated.
01:06:33A surrogate.
01:06:34A surrogate.
01:06:34How vulgar.
01:06:36You dare deceive me with this, Ralph?
01:06:39Dragging the Crawford name through the mud?
01:06:42I'll deal with it.
01:06:44I'll deal with it.
01:06:44All right.
01:06:45How?
01:06:46God knows what else you've schemed.
01:06:49Actually, I might have a solution.
01:06:53Replace Adrian's fiance with me.
01:06:57Let Lila take the fall in the media.
01:06:59She's just a desperate gold digger who wants to bear an heir just so she can become queen.
01:07:06I'll tell you now.
01:07:11Fine.
01:07:13Marry Vivian now.
01:07:15Will you give up your shares and get up?
01:07:19Adrian, I always get the man you want.
01:07:25Well, if he does this, he could still get the inheritance.
01:07:28No rush.
01:07:30Let's get them into trouble.
01:07:32He's fought too hard to lose everything now.
01:07:37He'll do it.
01:07:39I'll give it all up.
01:07:41The company.
01:07:43My inheritance.
01:07:46Everything.
01:07:48But not Lila.
01:07:50Not my wife.
01:07:52The only woman I've ever loved.
01:07:55And we're getting married.
01:07:57Officially.
01:07:59Publicly.
01:08:09Silence!
01:08:11You want to give up everything for her?
01:08:13Give up your inheritance.
01:08:15Everything goes to Eden.
01:08:18Adrian!
01:08:19You're giving up your inheritance just for her?
01:08:23Are you insane?
01:08:24I would never choose anything over my wife.
01:08:28Not ever.
01:08:29And I would never choose you.
01:08:31You'll regret this.
01:08:36Go on.
01:08:38Sign this.
01:08:40Walk away from your legacy.
01:08:42So you've had this planned all along?
01:08:50Hey, hey, hey, hey, wait.
01:08:53Don't, uh, I'm not worth giving up your future.
01:08:57You are my future.
01:09:00You might everything.
01:09:02You and I try.
01:09:15Let's go.
01:09:27Adrian.
01:09:29Hey, what's wrong?
01:09:31Don't tell me you only love me for my CEO status and my money.
01:09:35No, 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 a sugar mommy.
01:09:42I...
01:09:43Wait, yeah, I was going to grab somebody from the car.
01:09:45I didn't.
01:09:57What 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.
01:10:05I love her.
01:10:07Not you.
01:10:09Adrian, please.
01:10:10I was wrong.
01:10:13I don't know.
01:10:14I don't know.
01:10:18I don't know.
01:10:19I don't know.
01:10:22I don't know.
01:10:26I don't know.
01:10:28I don't know.
01:10:31I don't know.
01:10:32I don't know.
01:10:33I don't know.
01:10:34I don't know.
01:10:36I don't know.
01:10:38I don't know.
01:10:39I don't know.
01:10:40I don't know.
01:10:41I don't know.
01:10:42I don't know.
01:10:42I don't know.
01:10:42Hey.
01:10:44Hi.
01:10:46Beautiful.
01:10:51Yeah, it is.
01:11:01Milo, 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. Just finished my last sketch.
01:11:42I didn't hear Sugar Mommy just landed another big deal.
01:11:51Yeah?
01:11:52Adrian, come back to the Crawford family.
01:11:56Come back to your position and your inheritance.
01:12:05What do you mean you're canceling the contract?
01:12:07We've been partners for ten years.
01:12:13Grandfather, no. Please don't call Adrian.
01:12:18So you want me to come back?
01:12:21I have to ask my wife.
01:12:24What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:12:31First order of business today.
01:12:35What 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 it's all documented right here.
01:13:10The lawsuit's already been filed.
01:13:13What?
01:13:14You actually did this?
01:13:17No, Grandpa.
01:13:18He's lying.
01:13:19It's all a lie.
01:13:21Dad, either you let me handle this my way, or I can still walk.
01:13:31Adrian.
01:13:37Mr. Crawford, the vote for new director.
01:13:43Competence is everything.
01:13:47I'm getting old, and from now on, Adrian will handle everything.
01:13:54No.
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?
01:14:03My company, you hear that?
01:14:04My fucking company.
01:14:06Come 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.
01:14:22I'm designing my wedding dress.
01:14:24Incredible.
01:14:26I might hire you to design my tux.
01:14:30You know, I think I'm going to have to check my schedule.
01:14:34Oh, it's like that.
01:14:38I still can't believe we're getting married.
01:14:41Ever since you crashed into me at the hospital, I haven't been able to get you out of my head.
01:14:45And soon I'll be able to love you openly and officially for the rest of my life.
01:14:52Uh, practicing your vats?
01:14:54Yeah.
01:14:58Can we practice the kiss as well?
01:15:00If you have to.
01:15:15Your father said, no fiance by Christmas.
01:15:18No inheritance.
01:15:19Do you really want to give all that up?
01:15:27Everybody?
01:15:28This is my new girlfriend.
01:15:29This is my new girlfriend.
01:15:31You didn't tell me your parents were this rich.
01:15:35I brought you all a basket from the Miller farm.
01:15:38A bottom.
