Short filmTranscript
00:00:04Miss Ri, your ovaries aren't doing their best lately.
00:00:07This could be the start of ovarian failure.
00:00:11Ovarian 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's medically advisable to do so within the next six months.
00:00:27Babe, me at X Hotels, 3.02 at 7 p.m.
00:00:31Got 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 going to tell him now.
00:00:46Yeah.
00:00:47Okay.
00:01:05Early ovarian failure at 25.
00:01:08If someone sees this, die of embarrassment.
00:01:13Sorry.
00:01:14Are you okay?
00:01:16Yeah.
00:01:16I'm fine.
00:01:34Oh, my God.
00:01:36Lila.
00:01:38You said you'd be back at 7.
00:01:40Chidi, is 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, 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?
00:02:09Sweetheart.
00:02:19You really think I'd marry you for your cheap love over legs like these?
00:02:25You know what?
00:02:27We're done.
00:02:29Six months?
00:02:30What, am 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 neck.
00:03:05Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:03:09Sir, the surrogate candidates have all been vetted thoroughly.
00:03:12I mean, Ivy League graduates.
00:03:16Inspecable health histories.
00:03:18I don't need resumes.
00:03:20I 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?
00:03:38Oh, um.
00:03:40Right, well, let's get started.
00:03:43Um.
00:03:45Education 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 almost 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 reproductive 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.
00:04:25Okay.
00:04:26What are you doing?
00:04:33I'm making sure this is thorough.
00:04:40Harvard 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.
00:04:51Cycling.
00:04:52As 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?
00:05:01Oh, um, of course, uh, I'm perfectly healthy too.
00:05:06Uh, no 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 in regards to compensation, have you got a figure in mind?
00:05:21Well, I was thinking, $800?
00:05:25$800?
00:05:28Well, 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.
00:05:40I could do your paperwork.
00:05:42Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:05:54Are 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, are you kidding me?
00:06:04You want to keep my baby?
00:06:07Are you kidding me?
00:06:09You want to keep my baby?
00:06:11My baby!
00:06:12Is this a 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.
00:06:25You came to what?
00:06:30Oh my God.
00:06:32I?
00:06:36I thought you were a donor.
00:06:37That is why I came here to ask you all those questions about your qualifications.
00:06:43And 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 gonna go.
00:06:56A million dollars.
00:06:58For caring my child.
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.
00:07:24You need to come now.
00:07:37Excuse me.
00:07:38Okay, dad.
00:07:38It's gonna be okay.
00:07:40I'm not afraid to die.
00:07:44I'm just afraid to leave you alone.
00:07:49Dad?
00:07:50Dad?
00:07:51Doctor!
00:07:52Help!
00:07:53Please!
00:08:02A doctor, my father.
00:08:04How 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.
00:08:18Bachelor 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.
00:08:27All she asked about.
00:08:28The biddies.
00:08:29And the redhead.
00:08:30Yeah, all 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.
00:08:53Oh, my God.
00:08:54A million dollars?
00:08:55What is that?
00:08:56Maybe I could get a loan?
00:09:01Or...
00:09:02A million dollars.
00:09:04For carrying my child.
00:09:18Hello?
00:09:19Mila Reed.
00:09:20This is Adrienne Crawford.
00:09:27I saw her thinking.
00:09:32About the other day.
00:09:34I think I may have been...
00:09:36A little hasty.
00:09:37You're reconsidering?
00:09:39Don'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 its mother.
00:10:05Why would you do that?
00:10:07You're direct.
00:10:09Honest.
00:10:09No hidden agendas.
00:10:11All these 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.
00:10:34Father.
00:10:35The board is getting impatient.
00:10:38Have you considered
00:10:39the arrangement that I suggested?
00:10:41I have my own plans.
00:10:43Eight.
00:10:43If you're thinking of using some random surrogate
00:10:46to produce an heir,
00:10:48forget it.
00:10:50The Crawford name means something.
00:10:52I won't have it tainted by...
00:10:55I've already chosen my fiance.
00:10:57What?
00:10:59I will talk about it at dinner.
00:11:01I'm sorry.
00:11:03Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiance?
00:11:09Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiance?
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?
00:11:26You'll need a convincing story.
00:11:28You'll stay at my house during the pregnancy.
00:11:31Okay.
00:11:33Um...
00:11:33What about after?
00:11:35We'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.
00:11:44It's just...
00:11:47I do need it soon.
00:11:52So?
00:12:20Welcome to the family, Ms. Reid.
00:12:48My whole apartment could fit in this hallway.
00:12:56Well, well.
00:12:59Missed 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.
00:13:11Followed you?
00:13:11No, I didn't...
00:13:13Wait, 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.
00:13:34Plain hard to get.
00:13:36Now that was cute before, but now...
00:13:40Come on, baby.
00:13:42This is what you really came in for.
00:13:46Right?
00:13:50Uncle!
00:13:52What are you doing?
00:13:54Your filthy hands off of my fiancée.
00:13:59Fiancée?
00:14:00Uncle?
00:14:05Fiancée?
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.
00:14:17This 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.
00:14:46Are you all right?
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:49Yeah, I'm fine.
00:14:52I just...
00:14:54You think it's your nephew?
00:14:55And he's your...
00:14:59Well...
00:15:00He may have been kind of...
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.
00:15:13Thanks.
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
00:15:27why 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.
00:15:44Good.
00:15:44Didn't want you to.
00:15:46Good.
00:15:46I won't.
00:15:47Okay.
00:16:02See?
00:16:03My brilliant plan work.
00:16:08Wait.
00:16:08How 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,
00:16:18to discuss our future plans with the board members.
00:16:20Sir?
00:16:25Are you okay?
00:16:27Are you okay?
00:16:29I...
00:16:29Jesus Christ.
00:16:30Are you okay?
00:16:31Yeah.
00:16:32I'm fine.
00:16:32Continue.
00:16:33Okay.
00:16:34So, the meeting.
00:16:35Singapore.
00:16:44Layla.
00:16:45Stay on your side.
00:16:51Layla.
00:16:53Layla, wake up.
00:17:08My love.
00:17:48Okay, maintain control.
00:17:55Oh, that's cold.
00:17:57That's cold.
00:18:06Ow.
00:18:08Sorry, didn't see you.
00:18:11It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:15Ah, my brother's mysterious fiance.
00:18:21Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:23Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:36Tell me, dear.
00:18:39How did you meet Adrian?
00:18:42Through mutual friends.
00:18:43Really?
00:18:46Mutual friends.
00:18:49Pray tell, what mutual friend would Adrian possibly have in your social circle?
00:18:56Unless, of course, it was a business arrangement.
00:19:00I'm sorry?
00:19:05A girl in your position surely would have negotiated.
00:19:12The 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 fiancee, would be expected to attend.
00:19:27I'd be honored.
00:19:29Wonderful.
00:19:30I'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.
00:19:57Oh, of course.
00:19:58Let 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.
00:20:10Must 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 clumsy of me.
00:20:27Stop it!
00:20:30You can just marry a rich man.
00:20:33You're just trash trying to climb a social ladder.
00:20:36Hey!
00:20:37Mr. Croppert!
00:20:41She was trying to attack me.
00:20:45I'm just trying to help.
00:20:47Get out.
00:20:47Sorry.
00:20:48Can't 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.
00:21:05Lali, you don't have to.
00:21:06Please.
00:21:08I need some time alone.
00:21:10No, you stay.
00:21:12I'll sleep on the salt.
00:21:21I miss her so much, daddy.
00:21:24Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:26As long as we can get you better.
00:21:29I won't.
00:21:29They won't get to me.
00:21:30I promise.
00:21:38You have to help.
00:21:39What happened?
00:21:42What should I do?
00:21:59What happened?
00:22:14No worries, it's just a small pinch that is not small
00:22:44Mr. Crawford, it is your time for the sperm collection
00:22:47Okay, how do we do this water equipment do we need?
00:22:50No need, just 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 alright in there?
00:23:27I'm fine, I just need some assistance
00:23:33Oh, do you need help?
00:23:35No wait, I didn't mean
00:23:37Are you sure? I can come in there
00:23:47Okay, come in
00:24:01So, do you want to help?
00:24:02Yeah, what can I...
00:24:05Oh my god
00:24:07You saw...
00:24:08No, no, I didn't
00:24:10Um, I didn't
00:24:11I...
00:24:12Um...
00:24:13I'm...
00:24:14I'm...
00:24:15I'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...
00:24:41You're in pain
00:24:41It's just some discomfort, it'll pass
00:24:43I'll be okay
00:24:50Okay
00:24:51Here, this should help
00:24:58Thank you
00:25:04Um, 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 have a duty of care
00:25:32Algorithm
00:25:33Else
00:25:33To regard the challenges as a rapper
00:25:33She always fights

00:34:06It's okay. Thank you.
00:34:09Thank 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 and I can get kind of clumsy with the needles.
00:34:22Landa, sit down. Let me have a look at that.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:28Sit down. Let me have a look at that.
00:34:31Okay.
00:34:34As 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 crofter now.
00:34:48I like it.
00:35:02Dr. Anderson.
00:35:03Mr. Crawford, the psychos are ready.
00:35:06We can proceed with the implementation tomorrow morning.
00:35:09I see. Thank you.
00:35:11What is it? Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:13That's what I've been thinking.
00:35:15Perhaps we can approach this in a more...
00:35:18natural manner.
00:35:20That's how it goes.
00:35:27So, what do you think?
00:35:29Can't afford to let you in.
00:35:35Um...
00:35:36We should probably get some sleep.
00:35:38You know, the procedure.
00:35:40Oh.
00:35:42Good night, Mr. Crawford.
00:35:55You don't need to be so nervous.
00:35:57Mr. Crawford, try to relax.
00:35:59Can I open up your chin?
00:36:01You might feel a bit cold.
00:36:05You cold?
00:36:09The white little spot?
00:36:12Yeah?
00:36:13What's that, baby?
00:36:16Really?
00:36:16Okay.
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.
00:36:31Hey, I'm just following 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.
00:37:14I'm sorry.
00:37:15Oof.
00:37:31Adrien?
00:37:32Not quite.
00:37:33You want my help?
00:37:36Let 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?
00:38:00I was just getting some food.
00:38:04Get out.
00:38:08Adrien?
00:38:11My love.
00:38:12Your stomach.
00:38:16If anything, anything happens to me, Fionki, or our unborn child, you will pay.
00:38:30You've been cheating all along.
00:38:32A 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.
00:38:42I'm not sorry.
00:38:46What?
00:38:48Eason?
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 Eason, you've never gotten along, have you?
00:39:06Why?
00:39:08You 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 to believe me about Eason?
00:39:18Just...
00:39:20Just...
00:39:21I know you're not like that.
00:39:25Just get some rest.
00:39:26Make yourself at home.
00:39:28Anything you need, anything you want, I'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.
00:39:59You 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.
00:40:11I've been doing research into optimal pregnancy nutrition, okay?
00:40:15Week 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?
00:40:27Half a treat.
00:40:27Half a treat.
00:40:28Half a treat.
00:40:28Half a treat.
00:40:31Half a treat.
00:40:38Half a treat.
00:40:39Half a treat.
00:40:40Half a treat.
00:40:41Half a treat.
00:40:41Half a treat.
00:40:41Half a treat.
00:40:42Half a treat.
00:40:43Half a treat.
00:40:44Half a treat.
00:40:44Half a treat.
00:40:44Half a treat.
00:40:46Half a treat.
00:40:47Half a treat.
00:40:48Half a treat.
00:40:50Half a treat.
00:40:57Lie down.
00:40:58Yeah, I got it. I can do it myself.
00:41:06Maybe you should call the doctor.
00:41:09Yeah.
00:41:10Yeah, Dr. Anderson. Yeah, we're ready.
00:41:13I'm putting you on speaker.
00:41:16First, remove the clothes.
00:41:22Now, exposing your legs.
00:41:27Apply the oil and gently massage her muscles with your palms.
00:41:43You know, I'm actually feeling kind of sick,
00:41:47so why don't we try this again tomorrow?
00:41:51And, um, I'm gonna go.
00:41:57I'm gonna go.
00:42:00Yeah, sorry, Dr. Anderson.
00:42:02We might have to try this again sometime.
00:42:04Yeah, thank you. Bye.
00:42:17The Charity Gala isn't a test.
00:42:20Your dad requests specifically that I attend.
00:42:22And you look perfect.
00:42:36Just be yourself.
00:42:51Adrian, it's been so long.
00:42:56You look exactly the same.
00:43:07And you must be the fiancé.
00:43:11I'm so pleased Adrian's finally found someone after all this time.
00:43:16It's very sweet.
00:43:18I'm sorry.
00:43:18You are just someone who wants Adrian's happiness.
00:43:23More than anything.
00:43:27Oh, my God.
00:43:29You two are finally back together.
00:43:31Everyone, look who is here.
00:43:34It's a golden couple.
00:43:36I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged.
00:43:40I knew.
00:43:41It must be you, Vivian.
00:43:43Perfect march.
00:43:45Just like a harvard.
00:43:47Where's your wedding?
00:43:55Actually, I'd like everyone to meet my fiancé, Lila Reid.
00:44:00We're expecting our first job.
00:44:02And yes, you're all invited to the wedding.
00:44:09She's pregnant?
00:44:12I'm so sorry.
00:44:14I just assumed.
00:44:16My congratulations to you both again.
00:44:19I want to talk to you.
00:44:20I guess.
00:44:22Where is your wedding?
00:44:23Come on.
00:44:31They could be so judgmental, can't they?
00:44:34Don't take it personally, dear.
00:44:43They do look like the perfect couple.
00:44:52Drinking.
00:44:54Thought you were pregnant.
00:44:57That's none of your business.
00:44:59Do you even know the true Adrian?
00:45:02I tell you he's someone who cares a lot about love.
00:45:05What do you want?
00:45:08Look.
00:45:12Aren't they the perfect couple?
00:45:14You know, he'd do anything for her.
00:45:16Even save her from the pains of childbirth.
00:45:22Yeah.
00:45:23They've been real happy ever since she got back.
00:45:29Get it now, don't you?
00:45:32He's just using you to have a baby so that she doesn't have to.
00:45:36You're so naive.
00:45:40So I'm just a tool to have a baby?
00:45:50I don't want my fiancee thinking there's anything between them.
00:46:07What do you think you're doing?
00:46:09You're pregnant.
00:46:10Why are you drinking?
00:46:12Why do you care?
00:46:14It's soda, okay?
00:46:16I know what I'm doing.
00:46:24What happened back there?
00:46:27Talk to me.
00:46:28Lila, I'm worried.
00:46:30What, so you'll talk to Ethan but not me?
00:46:33When you were having such a lovely chat with your girlfriend back there,
00:46:37did you even notice I was there?
00:46:43Lila, I'm worried about you.
00:46:46Worried about me or worried about your baby?
00:46:52Worried about me or worried about your baby?
00:46:55What's that supposed to mean?
00:46:56You know, is that why you've been so nice to me?
00:46:58All of a sudden giving me snacks and being protected?
00:47:01What, because of carrying your child?
00:47:03Lila, why are you acting so weird since yesterday?
00:47:05Did you date Vivian?
00:47:07Yes.
00:47:07And now she wants to get back together with you?
00:47:09Yes.
00:47:09So what, is I just some replacement for her?
00:47:12Is that why you were looking for a surrogate?
00:47:14Yes, I wanted a surrogate, but it wasn't for Vivian.
00:47:16It was-
00:47:17No, you know what?
00:47:17I get it.
00:47:18I get it.
00:47:19Follow the contract.
00:47:20Have your baby.
00:47:25Thumpson!
00:47:26Sir, sorry to bother you at night.
00:47:28The Singapore merger is falling apart.
00:47:30We need you to hit immediately.
00:47:31I'm in the middle of something.
00:47:33I can't-
00:47:34The board is threatening to pull out.
00:47:38Okay, I'll be there
00:47:42Isla
00:47:43Do you need to talk about this
00:47:46As soon as I get back
00:47:48Sure, business first
00:47:55Sir, there have been some complications
00:47:58Explain
00:47:58Well, during your absence, Ethan has been meeting board members
00:48:01Suggesting 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
00:48:12Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing
00:48:24My personal life?
00:48:25Your sudden absence is
00:48:26Let me be very clear about something
00:48:29This 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 cert
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
00:48:58Has the right to question my commitment
00:49:00Or my capability
00:49:02Because without me
00:49:03There wouldn't even be a company to inherit
00:49:07So now
00:49:08Shall we discuss the merger?
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
00:49:37I know what I saw
00:50:05Just get out
00:50:05Adrian
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 strategy
00:50:17Ever since she came into your life
00:50:19You've been ruining
00:50:20You'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
00:50:34Business matters
00:50:36Who wouldn't understand?
00:50:40She's nothing but a brute mare
00:50:42Once she delivers
00:50:44You pay her off
00:50:45And you'll be done with it
00:50:47Adrian needs someone who understands this world
00:50:50Someone like me
00:50:56Vivian joins Crawford Industry
00:50:58Tomorrow
00:51:00Non-negotiable
00:51:02We'll be with you
00:51:03Every day
00:51:04Just like before
00:51:06And your little pet project
00:51:07She can stay at home
00:51:09And just take
00:51:09That's all she's good for
00:51:13Get out
00:51:14Both of you
00:51:15Dare you
00:51:17If you ever speak about my wife like that again
00:51:19I swear I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground
00:51:22Before I let either of you touch it
00:51:26Adrian
00:51:27Be reasonable
00:51:29She's worth a thousand up here
00:51:32Tomorrow
00:51:339am
00:51:34Vivian starts
00:51:36No discussion
00:51:37Is that all?
00:51:40For now
00:51:40Don't disappoint me again
00:51:55Stop it
00:51:56Stop checking
00:51:57I
00:51:57I was independent before him
00:51:58I didn't need someone to
00:52:01Create a meal plan for me
00:52:03Or
00:52:04Hold me while I sleep
00:52:08No
00:52:10I'm not gonna be that girl
00:52:16I can work on my own
00:52:18You know
00:52:19I don't
00:52:19I don't need his
00:52:22Arrangements
00:52:22Or his
00:52:23Dental care
00:52:25I'm just a tool
00:52:26For 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
00:52:42And 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
00:52:59Thank you
00:53:00For 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?
00:53:14You'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
00:53:21Seeing the way he treats you it's tearing me apart
00:53:28Ethan you
00:53:31Adrian stop what 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?
00:53:39I'm defending the truth
00:53:40Someone just may have to surprise you
00:53:43I see
00:53:45Adrian
00:53:46I'll get the doctor
00:53:48Adrian
00:53:54I want full blood work
00:53:55Fetal monitoring
00:53:56And get the OBGYN down here
00:54:00Sir
00:54:00It's just a minor car
00:54:03I want to get a complete prenatal checkup
00:54:05I've already called Dr. Reynolds
00:54:07She'll be here in 10 minutes
00:54:08So bossy
00:54:10You know
00:54:10Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy
00:54:14None of those beach dates we used to have
00:54:16I think you said I was the best
00:54:21Thompson
00:54:21Call in the catering
00:54:24The other one in the push list
00:54:27Lila's been craving something
00:54:29Medium fatty cut
00:54:30I didn't say those
00:54:33The prenatal vitamins I researched should arrive shortly
00:54:37They're custom formulated for a Lila flood type and genetic makeup
00:54:47Everything'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
00:54:56I 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
00:55:24You 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
00:55:42Remember the first time you bought me flowers?
00:55:44Yeah that was a long time ago
00:55:48Adrian
00:55:49We could be that again
00:55:54Whatever game you're playing here
00:55:56It won't work
00:56:00Get out
00:56:02I want my fiance 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
00:56:31Lila
00:56:33Hi dad
00:56:39Your 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
00:56:56Not him
00:56:57In who?
00:56:59It doesn't matter
00:57:00Dad look
00:57:02What really matters is that
00:57:03This is my baby
00:57:05And I am going to love them
00:57:08Just like you love me
00:57:10Oh sweetheart
00:57:11I'm so sorry
00:57:12I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you
00:57:15If I was healthier
00:57:17If I could work
00:57:18Dad it's okay
00:57:19The 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
00:57:28You didn't sell yourself to someone
00:57:30No dad
00:57:30It 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. Reed
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
00:58:08To 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
00:58:17Every morning
00:58:18Your daughter will wake up
00:58:20Knowing that she's cherished
00:58:22Every decision I make
00:58:23Every step I take
00:58:25Will be to ensure her happiness
00:58:28You really mean that, don't you?
00:58:31Yes, I do
00:58:34Well
00:58:35Maybe I don't have to worry
00:58:38So much anymore
00:58:43Thank you
00:58:47Saying all that
00:58:47I know you were just trying
00:58:48To make my dad feel better
00:58:49But
00:58:50I wasn't just
00:58:51Trying to do anything
00:58:54Everything I said was true
00:58:56I thought you were just worried
00:58:57About me breaking the contract
00:59:01I'm young to understand something
00:59:03I have been falling for you
00:59:05Ever since you crashed into my office
00:59:07With that ridiculous donor questionnaire
00:59:11Yes, we had a contract
00:59:14But I realize you've become everything to me
00:59:17Not my surrogate
00:59:20Not my pretend fiancé
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
00:59:49Was it 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
01:00:01Since we broke up
01:00:02Really?
01:00:12I'm not letting you go
01:00:14Not ever
01:00:15I think we're past
01:00:17Trying to hide who we are
01:00:23Surrogacy?
01:00:24Contract marriage?
01:00:27No, this is perfect
01:00:32What was so urgent?
01:00:34I know something about
01:00:35Your 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
01:00:50A contract?
01:00:54Oh, the board would love to hear about this
01:00:58Next week's family meeting
01:01:00We reveal everything
01:01:02Until 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 truce out
01:01:19She'll be worthless to him
01:01:21You can have your little toy back
01:01:36Thankfully, Mr. Crawford gave me the key
01:01:53Surrogate agreement
01:01:57I'm gonna call history
01:01:59There must be some evidence somewhere
01:02:06Adrian's always so organized
01:02:08Where are the important documents?
01:02:23Adrian?
01:02:25Is that you?
01:02:32Shit
01:02:38Vivian
01:02:41Oh, Adrian
01:02:42What are you doing here?
01:02:44I was just looking for you
01:02:47You know, Adrian
01:02:48If it's an air 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
01:03:08What if someone sees us?
01:03:10Scared?
01:03:10I know somewhere
01:03:13Private
01:03:20Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:03:26Adrian?
01:03:27Adrian!
01:03:29Enjoy the storage closet
01:03:30Adrian!
01:03:47How'd it go?
01:03:48Just try
01:03:48Guess 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
01:04:10Intimacy is perfectly safe
01:04:14Oh
01:04:16Listen to your buddies and then
01:04:18Thanks
01:04:18Thanks, Doc
01:04:19Thanks
01:04:30Mr. Anderson
01:04:34Let's talk about the scene Sinclair's
01:04:38Arrangement
01:04:38Was it a contract surrogacy?
01:04:41Mr. Herringham
01:04:42I can't discuss patient information
01:04:46I heard the hospital is opening up a new wing
01:04:49It'd be a shame if your name
01:04:52Mysteriously
01:04:54Disappeared
01:04:54In the best
01:04:56Weren't it?
01:05:00Shall we talk about my arrangement now?
01:05:13Oh my God
01:05:23Surrogacy
01:05:24Surrogacy
01:05:28Surrogacy
01:05:29Five generations
01:05:30Four for dignity
01:05:32All 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
01:05:44Why didn't you just say it?
01:05:46Why drag the family's name through the mud?
01:05:49This isn't true
01:05:51It's nothing but a malicious rumor
01:05:53Don't believe everything you see in the news
01:05:57Lila and I
01:05:58Were in love
01:06:03Your lives stop here, Uncle
01:06:09Grandfather
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 to bear an heir
01:06:20Medical files
01:06:22From Crawford Fertility Center
01:06:24They show Ms. Reed
01:06:27Undergoing IVF treatment
01:06:29And was generously compensated
01:06:32A surrogate
01:06:34How vulgar
01:06:35You dare deceive me with this?
01:06:38Filth?
01:06:39Dragging the
01:06:40Crawford name through the mud?
01:06:42I'll deal with it
01:06:44All right
01:06:45How?
01:06:46God knows what else you've schemed
01:06:50Actually
01:06:50I might have a solution
01:06:53Replace Adrian's fiance
01:06:55With me
01:06:57Let Lila take the fall in the media
01:07:00She's just a desperate gold digger
01:07:02Who wants to bear an heir
01:07:03Just so she can become queen
01:07:06I'll tell you about
01:07:11Fine
01:07:14Marry Vivian now
01:07:15Or you give up your shares
01:07:17And get out
01:07:19Adrian
01:07:19I always get the man you want
01:07:22If she does this
01:07:27You could still get inheritance
01:07:28No rush
01:07:30Let's get them into trouble
01:07:33He's fought too hard
01:07:34To 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
01:07:54And we're getting married
01:07:57Officially
01:07:59Publicly
01:08:10Simon
01:08:10You want to give up
01:08:12Everything for her
01:08:13Give 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?
01:08:25I would never choose anything
01:08:26Over 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?
01:08:51Hey, hey, hey, wait
01:08:53I'm not
01:08:55I'm not worth giving up your future
01:08:58You are my future
01:09:00You're my everything
01:09:03You are not
01:09:15Let's go
01:09:26Adrian
01:09:29Hey, what's wrong?
01:09:32Don't tell me you only love me
01:09:33For my CEO status
01:09:34And my money
01:09:35No
01:09:36I can make more money
01:09:38You know
01:09:38I'm kind of excited
01:09:39To be your sugar mommy
01:09:41I've always wanted a sugar mommy
01:09:44Wait, yeah
01:09:44I was going to grab somebody
01:09:45From the car
01:09:57What are you doing here?
01:09:59Why?
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
01:10:08Not you
01:10:08Adrian, please
01:10:10I was wrong
01:10:38I was wrong
01:10:41Hey
01:10:43Hi
01:10:45Beautiful
01:10:51Yeah
01:10:52It is
01:11:01Milo
01:11:02Will you
01:11:03Yes
01:11:04Of course
01:11:15When did you get this?
01:11:18Back when I realized
01:11:19I'd give up everything
01:11:20True
01:11:38How's it going on?
01:11:39Good
01:11:40Just finished my last sketch
01:11:42I didn't hear a sugar mommy
01:11:44Just then
01:11:44Another big deal
01:11:51Yeah
01:11:52Adrian
01:11:52Come back to the Crawford family
01:11:55Come back to your position
01:11:58And your inheritance
01:12:05What do you mean
01:12:06You're canceling the contract?
01:12:08We've been partners for 10 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
01:12:25Mrs. 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
01:12:44Turns out wasn't an accident
01:12:46Ethan deliberately sabotaged every deal
01:12:49There's no proof
01:12:51You misappropriated partnership funds
01:12:53To indulge in your own personal affairs
01:12:56Bad investments
01:12:57Shady deals
01:12:59And reckless spending
01:13:00Have led us to financial setbacks
01:13:02And operational setbacks
01:13:05And
01:13:06And it's all documented right here
01:13:10The lawsuit's already been filed
01:13:13What?
01:13:15You actually did this?
01:13:17No, Grandpa
01:13:18He's lying
01:13:19It's all a lie
01:13:22Dad
01:13:23Either you let me handle this my way
01:13:25Or I can still walk
01:13:31Adrian
01:13:38Mr. Crawford
01:13:39The vote for new director
01:13:44Competence
01:13:44Is everything
01:13:47I'm getting old
01:13:48And from now on
01:13:51Adrian
01:13:52Will 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
01:14:04You hear that?
01:14:05My 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
01:14:31I 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
01:14:43I haven't been able to get you out of my head
01:14:45And soon I'll be able to love you openly
01:14:49And officially for the rest of my life
01:14:52Are you practicing your vats?
01:14:54Yeah
01:14:58Can we practice kiss as well?
01:15:01If you have to
01:15:15Your father said
01:15:17No fiancé 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
01:15:31You didn't tell me your parents were this rich
01:15:35I brought you all a basket
01:15:37From the Miller Park
01:15:37A bottle
