00:00:04Ovarian failure
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?
00:00:12I 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
00:00:20to do so within the next six months.
00:00:22Through everything
00:00:25Here we stand
00:00:26Babe, me at X Hotels
00:00:29302 at 7pm
00:00:30Got a surprise for you.
00:00:35Ethan loves me so much
00:00:36Maybe...
00:00:38Maybe it's not such a bad idea to have a baby sooner
00:00:40rather than later.
00:00:44No, I'm gonna tell him now.
00:00:50Oh!
00:01:05Early ovarian failure at 25?
00:01:08If someone sees this,
00:01:09die of embarrassment.
00:01:13Sorry.
00:01:14Are you okay?
00:01:16Yeah.
00:01:34Oh my god!
00:01:36Lila!
00:01:38You said you'd be back at 7pm.
00:01:40Cheating?
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.
00:01:55You always said you wanted to try something new?
00:01:57Come join us.
00:01:58Three years.
00:01:59You know,
00:01:59I wasted three years on you.
00:02:02God, I'm such an idiot.
00:02:04You know,
00:02:04I was planning on having a baby.
00:02:06A baby?
00:02:09Sweetheart.
00:02:10Oh.
00:02:19You really think I'd marry you
00:02:20for your cheap love
00:02:22over legs like these?
00:02:25You know what?
00:02:26You 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
00:03:01or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:03:05Everything I've built over the last decade,
00:03:08gone.
00:03:08Sir,
00:03:10the surrogate candidates have all been vetted thoroughly.
00:03:12I mean,
00:03:13Ivy League graduates,
00:03:16impeccable health histories.
00:03:18I 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.
00:03:36Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:03:37Oh.
00:03:38Um.
00:03:39Right.
00:03:40Well, let's get started.
00:03:43Um.
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.
00:03:52Do you exercise regularly?
00:03:53You look...
00:03:57Acceptable.
00:03:59Do 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 of themselves?
00:04:10Um.
00:04:12Um, sir,
00:04:13I 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,
00:04:21I can show her out.
00:04:22It's okay.
00:04:23Thompson, you can leave us.
00:04:24Okay.
00:04:25What are you doing?
00:04:33I'm making sure this is...
00:04:39Harvard Business School.
00:04:41MBA.
00:04:42Top of my class.
00:04:43No family history of any genetic disorders.
00:04:46I work out five times a week.
00:04:48Crossfit.
00:04:49Yoga.
00:04:50Rock climbing.
00:04:50Cycling.
00:04:51As for...
00:04:54Intimate matters.
00:04:55I 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.
00:05:02Of course.
00:05:03Uh.
00:05:04I'm perfectly healthy too.
00:05:06Uh.
00:05:06No genetic conditions.
00:05:07I get checkups regularly.
00:05:09I haven't started taking prenatal vitamins.
00:05:13Good.
00:05:13I have to say...
00:05:16You'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...
00:05:23$800.
00:05:25$800.
00:05:26$800.
00:05:28Well...
00:05:29I was expecting a figure...
00:05:32Much higher than that.
00:05:33I know it's not much, but...
00:05:35You know...
00:05:36Considering the quality, and...
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?
00:06:09You 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?
00:06:18Surrogacy?
00:06:19The 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.
00:06:32I?
00:06:35I thought you were a donor.
00:06:36That is why I came here asking you all those questions about your...
00:06:41Qualifications.
00:06:42And I thought you were applying to be my surrogate.
00:06:47I am...
00:06:48So sorry about all the confusion.
00:06:50I...
00:06:53I'm gonna go.
00:06:56A million dollars...
00:06:59For carrying my child.
00:07:00No problem.
00:07:05I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:07:09Not somebody else's.
00:07:14Next.
00:07:22Miss Reed.
00:07:23Your father.
00:07:23You need to come now.
00:07:37Excuse me.
00:07:38Okay, Dad.
00:07:38I'm gonna be okay.
00:07:40I'm not afraid to die.
00:07:44I'm just afraid to leave you alone.
00:07:48Dad?
00:07:50Dad.
00:07:51Doctor!
00:07:52Help!
00:07:53Please!
00:08:02Doctor!
00:08:03My father.
00:08:03How is he?
00:08:04The cancer has spread aggressively, without immediate treatment.
00:08:08Then treat him.
00:08:09Now!
00:08:10The full course of treatment will cost approximately one million dollars.
00:08:15Aristocratic etiquette training.
00:08:17Influencer.
00:08:19Bachelor in economics.
00:08:20Yeah, right.
00:08:21She's underage.
00:08:22Is this the last batch?
00:08:23Yes, sir.
00:08:24The brunette asked about ring sizes.
00:08:26Blonde.
00:08:27Well, she asked about two big names.
00:08:29And the redhead?
00:08:30Yeah.
00:08:30All of them just wanted.
00:08:32Crawford name.
00:08:34But none of them are suitable.
00:08:39This one was refreshing.
00:08:43She was real.
00:08:45No schemes.
00:08:47Well, Mr. Crawford, she wasn't here for servicing.
00:08:50Sometimes the best candidates aren't looking for the job.
00:08:52Oh, my God.
00:08:54A million dollars?
00:08:55I...
00:08:56Maybe I could get a loan?
00:09:02A million dollars.
00:09:04For carrying my child.
00:09:18Hello?
00:09:19Myla Reid.
00:09:20This is Adrienne Crawford.
00:09:27I saw her thinking.
00:09:32About the other day.
00:09:33I think I may have been...
00:09:36A little hasty.
00:09:37You're reconsidering?
00:09:38Don't look so smug.
00:09:40I 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.
00:10:02Its mother.
00:10:05Why would you do that?
00:10:07You're direct.
00:10:08Honest.
00:10:09No hidden agendas.
00:10:12Qualities 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.
00:10:21But just to be clear.
00:10:23We'll be parents.
00:10:24Nothing more.
00:10:26No emotional entanglements.
00:10:27No romantic expectations.
00:10:29Please don't flatter yourself.
00:10:34You're not.
00:10:34The board is getting impatient.
00:10:37Have you considered?
00:10:39The arrangement that I've suggested.
00:10:41I have my own plans.
00:10:42Hey, if you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an error, forget it.
00:10:49The crowfoot name means something.
00:10:52I won't have it tainted by...
00:10:55I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:10:58What?
00:10:59I will talk about it at dinner.
00:11:01I'm sorry.
00:11:03Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiancé?
00:11:14Didn't somebody just say, just parents, nothing more?
00:11:19The situation requires... adaptation.
00:11:23Is that CEO speak for I changed my mind?
00:11:26You'll need a convincing story. You'll stay at my house during the pregnancy.
00:11:32Okay, um... what about after?
00:11:34We'll arrange an amicable split.
00:11:37Continue co-parenting.
00:11:38I'll provide additional compensation for the complexity.
00:11:42No, the original match is fine. It's just...
00:11:47I do need it soon.
00:11:52So?
00:12:20Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:12:23We were heightened.
00:12:49My whole apartment could fit in his hallway.
00:12:56Well, well, missed me so much you had to track me down.
00:13:04Couldn't get over me, huh?
00:13:07Had to follow me here like a lost puppy dog.
00:13:10Father, do you not? I didn't...
00:13:12Wait, what are you doing here?
00:13:14What am I doing here? Sweetheart, 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.
00:13:34Plain hard to get.
00:13:36Now that 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?
00:13:54Your filthy hands off of my fiancée.
00:13:58Fiancée?
00:14:00Uncle?
00:14:05No way.
00:14:08She is just shut up.
00:14:10Shut 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 fiancée.
00:14:29One more word and you can kiss your trust fund goodbye.
00:14:40Bye.
00:14:46Are you alright?
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:48Yeah, I'm fine.
00:14:51I just...
00:14:54Ethan's your nephew?
00:14:55And he's your...
00:14:59Well...
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.
00:15:11Thompson will bring your things up shortly.
00:15:12Thanks.
00:15:14Um...
00:15:16Where 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.
00:15:30Oh.
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.
00:15:47Okay.
00:16:02See?

00:22:23It's okay.
00:22:25Over here.
00:22:26It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:44Mr. Crawford, it 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 and 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, I didn't mean...

00:24:18I'm gonna go.
00:24:18So far.
00:24:19Away.
00:24:20Helpful.
00:24:35Are you okay?
00:24:37Dr. Anderson said the hormone chops might hurt a little bit.
00:24:40You're in pain.
00:24:42It's just some discomfort.
00:24:43It'll pass.
00:24:44I'll be okay.
00:24:50Here.
00:24:51This should help.
00:25:09Um, well, the hormone shots 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.
00:25:44So the coffee- Sweater will change the lemon in the water.
00:25:45If you're not, I don't have a duty of a-care-domy area.
00:25:46I'm going to walk the water.
00:25:47But it's a big part.
00:25:47I'll be okay.
00:25:47You see this tomorrow's case.
00:25:48It's a big part.
00:25:49I'll be okay.
00:25:49I'll be fine.
00:25:49You'll be fine.
00:25:53You'll be fine.
00:25:58Purely professional care.
00:26:15Purely professional care.
00:26:26Adrian, wait. About this weekend.
00:26:28Sorry, emergency in Atlanta. The merger's falling apart.
00:26:31Thompson, have the jet ready in 20.
00:26:34Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:36Now you know what?
00:26:37I can do it myself.
00:26:42I don't suppose that we could expect punctuality
00:26:46from someone who has never owned a watch in her entire life.
00:26:52I introduced him to the Thompson errors.
00:26:55Senator's daughter.
00:26:57I don't know why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:27:02Ethan, what did you say that she does a fashion designer?
00:27:07Worse.
00:27:09Seamstress.
00:27:10She probably thinks having the proper family do her name
00:27:13will raise her to the top and then she can have her own fashion show.
00:27:16If she's poor, fine.
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. Can't find something to wear.
00:27:28A fashion designer scrounging around for an outfit. How ironic.
00:27:33Maybe her designs are just too embarrassing to be seen in public.
00:27:36Okay.
00:27:38But seriously.
00:27:40I mean, I do pity her, right?
00:27:43Her worthless clothing and our beautiful home.
00:27:46I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:52Come get her now.
00:27:58Dip in your mouth.
00:28:15Apologies for the delay.
00:28:25my my my trying hard to get the part
00:28:31james make 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 made the dress myself the little seamstress that you are how 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 integrity is that what you call seducing your way into our family
00:29:22how much how much would it take for you to disappear name your price
00:29:29mr crawford i believe that's the difference between you and me

00:34:08Thank you for coming back.
00:34:11And for all the kind lies you said about us.
00:34:15What happened to your hands?
00:34:17Oh, I was fixing the hemline
00:34:19and I can get kind of clumsy with the needles.
00:34:22Landa, sit down.
00:34:23Let me have a look at that.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:28Sit down.

00:34:31Okay.
00:34:34As my fiance,
00:34:35you 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 Crawford now.
00:34:48I'm like...
00:35:01Dr. Anderson.
00:35:03Mr. Crawford,
00:35:04the psychos are ready.
00:35:06We can proceed with the implementation tomorrow morning.
00:35:08I see.
00:35:09I see.
00:35:11What is it?
00:35:11Is there something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:13That's what I've been thinking.
00:35:15Perhaps we could approach this in a more...
00:35:18natural manner.
00:35:20That's how it's been.
00:35:27So, what do you think?
00:35:29Can't afford to let you in.
00:35:33Um,
00:35:36we should probably get some sleep.
00:35:38You know, the procedure.
00:35:42Good night, Mr. Crawford.
00:35:55You don't need to be so nervous.
00:35:57Mr. Crawford,
00:35:58try to relax.
00:35:59Can I open up this window?
00:36:01You 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 the medical protocol.
00:36:48Ethan,
00:36:49in order to claim your inheritance,
00:36:51you have to find a way to break them up.
00:36:53No matter what it takes.
00:36:57Maybe finding the chance to get her back into my arms
00:37:00is the best way.
00:37:20Oh, no, no, no.
00:37:31Adrian?
00:37:32Not quite. You want my help?
00:37:35Let go of me.
00:37:37You used to like being in my arms.
00:37:39Remember all those late nights together?
00:37:42Did 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?
00:38:11Mother.
00:38:12Your stomach.
00:38:15If anything,
00:38:17anything happens to Tony Fionki
00:38:19or our unborn child,
00:38:21you will pay.
00:38:30You've been cheating all along.
00:38:32A few weeks with my uncle
00:38:34and you're carrying his child.
00:38:35You want a perfect little family?
00:38:37It is not going to happen.
00:38:41I don't know what's going to happen.
00:38:49I don't know what's going to happen.
00:38:50Thompson, cancel all my plans.
00:38:52Everything for the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:54Sir, what happened?
00:38:56You need my help?
00:38:57You can't help me on this.
00:38:58Just do as I say.
00:39:01You and Ethan,
00:39:02you've never gotten along,
00:39:04have you?
00:39:06Why?
00:39:07You seem to care a lot about him.
00:39:09No, it's not like that.
00:39:12Just get some rest.
00:39:14You had a rough day.
00:39:15Why did you choose
00:39:16to believe me about Ethan?
00:39:18Just...
00:39:19Just...
00:39:21I know you're not like that.
00:39:25Just get some rest.
00:39:26Make yourself a home.
00:39:28Anything you need,
00:39:29anything you want,
00:39:30I'll be around.
00:39:31Whatever I want?
00:39:49What in the...
00:39:51What are you doing?
00:39:53This is junk food.
00:39:56Like, these have zero nutritional value.
00:39:58You can't take those.
00:40:00The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:02The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:05And chips.
00:40:06And chips.
00:40:07And ice cream.
00:40:08You wouldn't deny anyone, Jack.

00:57:18Dad, it's okay
00:57:19The hospital bills

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, it isn't like that
00:57:31Did 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. Reid
00:57:46I'm Adrian Crawford
00:57:49I'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
00:57:55Making sure that your daughter
00:57:57And 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
00:58:09Full treatment plan
00:58:11The very best specialists
00:58:13Adrian
00:58:14And I promise you this
00:58:16Every morning
00:58:17Your daughter will wake up knowing that she's cherished
00:58:21Every decision I make
00:58:23Every step I take
00:58:25Will be to ensure her happiness
00:58:28You're ready to meet me now, don't you?
00:58:31Yes, I do
00:58:34Well
00:58:35Maybe I don't have to worry so much anymore
00:58:43Thank you
00:58:46Saying all that
00:58:47I know you were just trying to make my dad feel better
00:58:49I 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
00:59:00Riley, you have to understand something
00:59:03I have been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office
00:59:07With that ridiculous donor questionnaire
00:59:11Yes, we had a contract
00:59:14But I realized you've become everything to me
00:59:17Not my surrogate
00:59:20Not my pretend fiance
00:59:25If you're willing
00:59:27Would you like to forget the contract
00:59:29And become
00:59:30My real wife
00:59:42Did she come and see you?
00:59:45Did she hurt you?
00:59:46No
00:59:47Just
00:59:49Wasn't she your true love?
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
00:59:58But I kicked her out
00:59:59I 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
01:00:15I think we're past trying to hide who we are
01:00:23Surrogacy?
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
01:00:36That 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
01:00:45She's just a surrogate
01:00:47The whole engagement is a lie
01:00:49A contract?
01:00:54Oh, the board would love to hear about this
01:00:58Next week's family meeting
01:01:00We reveal everything
01:01:03Until then
01:01:04We 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
01:01:14Show him who really belongs by his side
01:01:16And Lila?
01:01:18Once the truth's out
01:01:19She'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 a claimant
01:01:57Mimical history
01:01:59There must be some evidence somewhere
01:02:05Adrien's always so organized
01:02:08Where are the important documents?
01:02:23Adrien?
01:02:24Is that you?
01:02:32Shit
01:02:38Vivian
01:02:41Oh, Adrien
01:02:42What are you doing here?
01:02:44I was just looking for you
01:02:46You know, Adrien
01:02:48If it's an heir you want
01:02:50You can make one right now
01:02:54Poor Lila doesn't have to know
01:02:55She's already asleep
01:02:58It'll be our little
01:03:00Secret
01:03:03Here
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
01:03:12I'm
01:03:14Private
01:03:20Can't risk being interrupted
01:03:22Can we?
01:03:26Adrien?
01:03:27Adrien!
01:03:29Enjoy the storage closet
01:03:31Adrien!
01:03:33Adrien!
01:03:47How'd it go?
01:03:48Just drive
01:03:49Guessed as much
01:03:50Don't worry
01:03:51I've got a new plan now
01:03:54Dr. Anderson will tell us
01:03:56If 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
01:04:06The stable station
01:04:08As long as you are gentle
01:04:10Intimacy is perfectly safe
01:04:14I'll
01:04:16Listen to your buddies
01:04:17And then
01:04:17Thanks
01:04:18Thanks, Doc
01:04:19Thanks
01:04:29Mr. Anderson
01:04:34Let's talk about
01:04:35The scene
01:04:36Sinclair's
01:04:38Arrangement
01:04:38Was it a contract
01:04:40Surrogacy?
01:04:41Mr. Herringham
01:04:42I've come discussed
01:04:43Patient information
01:04:46I hear the hospital
01:04:47Is opening up
01:04:48A new wing
01:04:49It'd be a shame
01:04:50If your name
01:04:52Mysteriously
01:04:53Severe
01:04:54In the best
01:04:56Weren't it?
01:04:59Shall we talk about
01:05:01That arrangement
01:05:01Now?
01:05:13Oh my god
01:05:23Surrogacy
01:05:24Surrogacy
01:05:28Five generations
01:05:30Four for dignity
01:05:32All trash
01:05:34By a
01:05:34Tabloid scandal
01:05:36A surrogate
01:05:38You used a surrogate
01:05:40To gain the inheritance
01:05:42If that's what you wanted
01:05:43Adrian
01:05:44Why didn't you just say it?
01:05:45Why drag the family's name
01:05:47Through the mud?
01:05:49This isn't true
01:05:50It's nothing but
01:05:51A malicious rumor
01:05:53Don't believe everything
01:05:54You see in the news
01:05:57Lila and I
01:05:58Were in love
01:06:03Your lives
01:06:04Stop here
01:06:05I'll call
01:06:08Grandfather
01:06:09The files
01:06:10Proving their contract
01:06:12Lila isn't his fiance
01:06:14She's just a surrogate
01:06:16Who got hired
01:06:17To bear an heir
01:06:20Medical files
01:06:21From Crawford
01:06:23Fertility Center
01:06:24They show
01:06:26Miss Reed
01:06:27Undergoing
01:06:27IVF treatment
01:06:29And was
01:06:30Generously compensated
01:06:32A surrogate
01:06:34How vulgar
01:06:36You dare deceive me
01:06:37With this
01:06:38Filth
01:06:38Dragging the
01:06:40Crawford name
01:06:41Through the mud
01:06:42I'll deal with it
01:06:44Right
01:06:45How?
01:06:46God knows
01:06:47What else
01:06:48You've schemed
01:06:49Actually
01:06:50I might have a solution
01:06:53Replace
01:06:54Adrian's
01:06:54Fiance
01:06:55With me
01:06:56Let Lila
01:06:58Take the fall
01:06:58In the media
01:07:00She's just a desperate
01:07:01Gold digger
01:07:01Who wants to bear an heir
01:07:03Just so she can become queen
01:07:06Shut your mouth
01:07:11Fine
01:07:13Marry Vivian now
01:07:15Will you give up your shares
01:07:17And get up
01:07:19Adrian
01:07:19I always get the man you want
01:07:25Mother if she does this
01:07:27You could still get inheritance
01:07:28No rush
01:07:29Let'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
01:07:40The 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
01:07:54And we're getting married
01:07:57Officially
01:07:59Publicly
01:08:22I would never choose anything over my wife
01:08:27Not ever
01:08:29And I would never choose you
01:08:31You'll regret this
01:08:36Go on
01:08:38Sign this
01:08:39Walk away from your legacy
01:08:41So you've had this planned all along
01:08:50Hey, hey, hey, wait
01:08:53Don't let her
01:08:55I'm not worth giving up your future
01:08:58You are my future
01:09:00You might everything
01:09:03You are natural
01:09:15Let's go
01:09:26Adrian
01:09:29Hey, what's wrong
01:09:31Don't tell me you only love me for my CEO status
01:09:34No, I can make more money
01:09:38You know, I'm kind of excited to be your sugar mommy
01:09:40I've always wanted a sugar mommy
01:09:43Wait, yeah, I was going to grab somebody from the car
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
01:10:08Adrian, please
01:10:09I was wrong
01:10:36I love her
01:10:42Hey.
01:10:44Hi.
01:10:46Beautiful.
01:10:51Yeah, it is.
01:11:00Milo, were you?
01:11:03Yes, of course.
01:11:15When did you get this?
01:11:18Back 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.
01:11:42I didn't hear a 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.
01:12:14Please 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.
01:12:47Ethan 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.
01:13:07And it's all documented right here.
01:13:11The 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.
01:13:23Either 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.
01:13:44Competence is everything.
01:13:47I'm getting old.
01:13:49And from now on, Adrian will handle everything.
01:13:54No.
01:13:55Don't listen to him.
01:13:57Don't listen to him.
01:13:57Please.
01:13:58You're making a mistake.
01:14:00Where are you going?
01:14:03My company.
01:14:04You hear that?
01:14:05My fucking company.
01:14:06Come back.
01:14:06Yeah.
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.
01:14:26Might 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 vows?
01:14:54Yeah.
01:14:58Can we practice the kiss as well?
01:15:01If you have to.
01:15:15Your father said, no fiancé by Christmas.
01:15:18No inheritance.
01:15:20Do you really want to give all that up?
01:15:28Everybody?
01:15:28This 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.
