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.
00:10:34Father.
00:10:35The board is getting impatient.
00:10:38Have you considered the arrangement that I suggested?
00:10:41I have my own plans.
00:10:43If you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
00:10:49The Crawford name means something.
00:10:51something i won't have it changed it by i've already chosen my fiance what i will talk about
00:11:01i'm sorry did you just promote me from surrogate to fiance
00:11:09did you just promote me from surrogate to fiance

00:18:09Sorry, didn't see you.
00:18:10It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:15Ah, 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 Adrienne?
00:18:41Through mutual friends.
00:18:44Really?
00:18:45Mutual friends.
00:18:48Pray tell, what mutual friend would Adrienne possibly have in your social circle?
00:18:55Unless, of course, it was a business arrangement.
00:19:00I'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.
00:19:16Well, then.
00:19:18Next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:21You, as Adrienne's fiancée, would be expected to attend.
00:19:27I'd be honored.
00:19:28I'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.
00:19:55I need to clean.
00:19:57Oh, of course.
00:19:58Let me just get myself out of your way.
00:20:02Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:08How creative.
00:20:10It 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 long told me.
00:20:27Stop it.
00:20:30You could just marry a rich man.
00:20:32You're just trash trying to climb a social ladder.
00:20:36Hey.
00:20:37Mr. Covert.
00:20:41She was trying to take me.
00:20:45I'm just trying to help you.
00:20:47Get out.
00:20:47I'm sorry.
00:20:48I can'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.
00:21:04Lali, you don't have to.
00:21:05Please.
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.
00:21:23Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:26As long as we can get you better,
00:21:28I will if they weren't to get to me.
00:21:30I promise.
00:21:38Lali, what happened?
00:21:42What should I do?
00:21:55How's the happy couple today?
00:22:04Oh, this is awkward.
00:22:06Oh, 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.
00:22:25It's okay.
00:22:25Over here.
00:22:26It's okay.
00:22:32It'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 water equipment?
00:22:50Do we need?
00:22:50No need.
00:22:51Just head to the collection room and use your hand.
00:23:16And pretend she's not right out that door.
00:23:22Mr. Crawford, are you all right in there?
00:23:27Mr. Crawford, are you all right in there?
00:23:28I'm fine.
00:23:28I just need some assistance.
00:23:33Oh, do you need help?
00:23:35No, wait.
00:23:36I didn't mean...
00:23:37Are you sure?
00:23:37I can come in there.
00:23:46Okay.
00:23:47Come in.
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.
00:24:10I didn't.
00:24:11All right.
00:24:13I'm...
00:24:14I'm...
00:24:15I'm...
00:24:15I'm...
00:24:15I'm just going to go.
00:24:17I'm going to go.
00:24:18I'm going to go so far away.
00:24:20Helpful.
00:24:33Helpful.
00:24:35Are you okay?
00:24:37Dr. Anderson said the hormone shots might hurt a little, but...
00:24:41You're in pain.
00:24:42It's just some discomfort.
00:24:43It'll pass.
00:24:44I'll be okay.
00:24:50Here, this 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.
00:25:58Purely professional care.
00:26:15Purely professional care.
00:26:26Adrian, wait.
00:26:27About this weekend.
00:26:28Sorry, emergency in Atlanta.
00:26:29The merger's falling apart.
00:26:31But...
00:26:32Thompson, 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.
00:26:41I don't suppose that we could expect punctuality from someone who has never owned a watch in her entire life.
00:26:52I introduced him to the Thompson Arons, Senator Stolter.
00:26:57I don't know why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:27:01Ethan, what did you say that she does a fashion designer?
00:27:07I don't know.
00:27:07Worse.
00:27:08Seamstress.
00:27:09She probably thinks having the proper family do her name will raise her to the top and then she can
00:27:15have 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 and our beautiful home.
00:27:46I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:52Come get her now.
00:28:15Apologies for the delay.
00:28:25My, my, my.
00:28:27Trying hard to get the part.
00:28:30James, 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, I made the dress myself.
00:28:54The little seamstress that you are, how quaint.
00:28:58At least we know who will be darning.
00:29:01Adrian sucks.
00:29:05You know, I wasn't brought up into wealth, but I was raised to something far more valuable.
00:29:10Integrity.
00:29:13Integrity.
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 leap off of mine.
00:29:37Excuse me.
00:29:49Stay calm.
00:29:52You got this.
00:29:53All dressed up for me, baby?
00:30:01I need to get back to dinner.
00:30:03What's the rush?
00:30:03We're all family here.
00:30:07Almost family.
00:30:09Don't touch me.
00:30:10You 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.
00:30:18On screen, 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.
00:30:28So cute.
00:30:35Is everything okay?
00:30:37You look a bit flustered.
00:30:41As I was saying about the Wilson, Roger.
00:30:46Stop it.
00:30:48Something wrong with us, Reed.
00:30:58Enough.
00:31:00No manners.
00:31:01No class.
00:31:02I 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.
00:31:34She confessed to me right there at the hospital.
00:31:37She's not into money.
00:31:38Even if someone dropped a million dollars at her feet, she wouldn't even drink.
00:31:43For caring my child.
00:31:45I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:31:48Not somebody else's.
00:31:51And she's tough.
00:31:52Even 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.
00:32:00How 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 it, Lana.
00:32:14But, but, but, sir, is there the murder?
00:32:18Murder?
00:32:19Yes, sir.
00:32:20Yes, sir.
00:32:33What a touching story, Uncle.
00:32:35Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:32:41What are you talking about?
00:32:43We've been dating for three years.
00:32:46See?
00:32:55So, clearly she planned all this, dated me first to get to know the family, and now, well, set her
00:33:01sights higher.
00:33:04Manipulative little...
00:33:04Face it, Uncle.
00:33:05You're just another step on her ladder to the top.
00:33:09Who 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 me.
00:33:41You, Lila!
00:33:43How dare you, Adrian, hit my son!
00:33:49Lila.
00:33:52Where do you think you're going?
00:33:54We'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.
00:34:06It's okay.
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, and I can get kind of clumsy with the needles.
00:34:22Lila.
00:34:23Sit 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.
00:34:34As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:37I expect you to use them.
00:34:40I don't want to assume.
00:34:44You're Crawford now.
00:34:48I 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 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 natural 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, we 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, try to relax.
00:35:59Can I open up this window?
00:36:00Um, you might feel a little bit cold.
00:36:04Are you 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.
00:36:31Hey, I'm just following a medical protocol.
00:36:48Ethan, in order to claim your inheritance, you 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 is the best way.
00:37:24Maybe finding the chance to get her back into my arms is the best way.
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?
00:37:49Remember all those late nights together?
00:37:59I was just getting some food.
00:38:03Get out.
00:38:08Adrian?
00:38:11My stomach.
00:38:15I was just holding my arms.
00:38:16If anything.
00:38:17Anything happens to me Bianchi or our unborn child.
00:38:21You 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.
00:38:41A few weeks with my uncle and you're carrying his child.
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 Ethan?
00:39:18Just...
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, 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.
00:39:58You can take those.
00:40:00The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:02The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:04And chips.
00:40:06And chips.
00:40:07And ice cream.
00:40:08You wouldn't do that anymore, Jake.
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?
00:40:33Two quarters?
00:40:36Congratulations.
00:40:38The feet have been stable and developing perfectly.
00:40:41Really?
00:40:46Everything looks wonderful.
00:40:48Now that we are in a stable period,
00:40:50I would like to discuss some prenatal care.
00:40:55Okay.
00:40:57Lie down.
00:40:58Yeah.
00:40:58Yes.
00:40:59I got it.
00:41:01I can do it myself.
00:41:06Maybe you should call the doctor.
00:41:09Yeah.
00:41:10Yeah, Dr. Anderson.
00:41:12Yeah, we're ready.
00:41:13I'm putting you on speaker.
00:41:16First, remove the clothes.
00:41:23Now, exposing your legs.
00:41:27Apply the oil and gently massage her muscles with your palm.
00:41:43You know, I'm actually feeling kind of sick.
00:41:47Okay, so, why don't we try this again tomorrow?
00:41:51And, um, I'm gonna go.
00:41:56All right, I'm gonna go.
00:42:00Yeah, sorry, Dr. Anderson.
00:42:02We might have to try this again sometime.
00:42:04Yeah, thank you.
00:42:06Bye.
00:42:17The charity goal is in the test.
00:42:19Your dad requests specifically that I attend.
00:42:23And you look perfect.
00:42:36Just be yourself.
00:42:51Adrian, it's been so long.
00:42:55You look exactly the same.
00:43:03You look exactly the same.
00:43:08And 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.
00:43:17I'm sorry, you are...
00:43:19Just 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.
00:43:34The golden couple.
00:43:36I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged.
00:43:40I knew it must be you, Vivian.
00:43:43It's a perfect match.
00:43:45Just like a Harvard.
00:43:47Where's your wedding?
00:43:55Actually, I'd like everyone to meet my fiancé.
00:43:58Lila Reed.
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, brother.
00:44:19I want to talk to you about this.
00:44:21Marriage, you're going to meet.
00:44:23Come on.
00:44:32They could be so judgmental, can't they?
00:44:34Don't take it personally, dear.
00:44:43You do look like the perfect couple.
00:44:52Drinking.
00:44:54Thought you were pregnant.
00:44:57That's none of your business.
00:44:59Do you even know the true Adrian?
00:45:01I tell you he's someone who cares a lot about love.
00:45:05What do you want?
00:45:08Look.
00:45:12Are they the perfect couple?
00:45:14You know, he'd do anything for her.
00:45:16Even save her from the pains of childbirth.
00:45:21Yeah.
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.
00:45:35You're so naive.
00:45:40So I'm just a tool to have a baby?
00:45:50I don't want my fiancé thinking there's anything between you.
00:45:53I don't want my fiancé thinking there's anything between you.
00:45:54I don't care if it tears me apart.
00:45:58We couldn't let go.
00:46:07What do you think you're doing?
00:46:09You're pregnant.
00:46:10What are you doing?
00:46:12Why do you care?
00:46:14It's soda, okay?
00:46:16I know what I'm doing.
00:46:17I don't want my fiancé thinking there's anything between you.
00:46:24What happened back there?
00:46:26Talk 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, babe?
00:46:56You know, I thought you'd been so nice to me.
00:46:58All of a sudden, giving me snacks and being protected.
00:47:01What, because I'm 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, am I just some replacement for her?
00:47:12Is that why you were looking for a surrogate?
00:47:13Yes, I wanted a surrogate, but it wasn't for Vivian.
00:47:16It was...
00:47:17No, you know what, I get it.
00:47:18I get it.
00:47:19Follow the contract, have your baby.
00:47:25Thompson.
00:47:26Sir, sorry to bother you at night.
00:47:28The Singapore merger is falling apart.
00:47:29We need you here immediately.
00:47:31I'm in the middle of something.
00:47:33I can't...
00:47:34The board is threatening to pull out.
00:47:38Okay, I'll be there.
00:47:42Lila, we need to talk about this.
00:47:45As soon as I get back.
00:47:47Sure.
00:47:48Business first.
00:47:55Sir, there have been some complications.
00:47:57Explain.
00:47:58Well, during your absence, Ethan has been meeting with board members.
00:48:01It's a question that your sudden marriage plans may indicate that you're unstable to run the company.
00:48:05Sir, several executives are questioning if somebody so personally invested could run the company.
00:48:21Mr. 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.
00:48:35Within three years, I tripled our market share.
00:48:37Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge, my strategies, my execution.
00:48:49So, yes, I'm getting married.
00:48:52And yes, I took some time off.
00:48:55But no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:49:02Because without me, there wouldn't even be a company to inherit.
00:49:07So now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:49:30Get out.
00:49:31Lila, there's nothing between me and Vivian.
00:49:35The surrogacy is not for her.
00:49:36I know what I saw.
00:49:38Just get out.
00:49:44I know what I saw.
00:50:09What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:12Of doing my job.
00:50:14Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:50:17Ever since she came into your life,
00:50:19you've been ruining,
00:50:21you've been undermining everything that we built.
00:50:23Leave Ryla 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.
00:50:33We just need to borrow him for a moment.
00:50:35Business matters.
00:50:36Who wouldn't understand?
00:50:40She's nothing but a fruit mare.
00:50:43Once she delivers,
00:50:44you 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.
00:51:00Unnegotiable.
00:51:01We'll be with you every day.
00:51:04Just like before.
00:51:06In your little pet project.
00:51:07She can stay at home with just that.
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 life like that again,
00:51:19I swear I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before I let either of you touch it.
00:51:26Adrian, be reasonable.
00:51:30She's worth a thousand up here.
00:51:32Tomorrow, 9am.
00:51:35Vivian starts.
00:51:36No discussion.
00:51:38Is that all?
00:51:39For now, don't disappoint me again.
00:51:55Stop it!
00:51:56Stop 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.
00:52:24I...
00:52:25Just a tool for a baby?
00:52:27Ah!
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.
00:52:45Lila!
00:52:47I'm fine.
00:52:47You're not fine.
00:52:49Hospital.
00:52:50Now.
00:52:51Put me down!
00:52:53Put me down!
00:52:54Put me down!
00:52:59Thank 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...
00:53:21Seeing the way he treats you, it's tearing me apart.
00:53:29Ethan...
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.
00:53:43I see.
00:53:45Adrian...
00:53:46I'll get the doctor.
00:53:49Ethan...
00:53:53I want full blood work, fetal monitoring, and get the OBGYN down here.
00:54:00Sir, it's just a minor cut.
00:54:02I want to get a complete prenatal check-up.
00:54:05I've already called Dr. Reynolds, she'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:54:08It's so bossy.
00:54:10No.
00:54:10Some 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 on the push list.
00:54:27Lila's been craving, sir.
00:54:29You need a fatty cut.
00:54:31No, what's up?
00:54:31I 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.
00:54:57Hello?
00:54:58But...
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.
00:55:15I 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.
00:56:02I don't want my fiance seeing you here.
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.
00:56:16I guess something's never changed.
00:56:40Your head.
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.
00:57:00It doesn't matter.
00:57:01Dad, 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, it 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. Reid.
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
00:57:56and our child have 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,
00:58:25will be to ensure her happiness.
00:58:28You really mean that, don't you?
00:58:31Yes, I do.
00:58:35Well, maybe I don't have to worry so much anymore.
00:58:46Saying all that, I know you were just trying to make my dad feel better, but...
00:58:50I 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.
00:59:01Eileen, 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'd become everything to me.
00:59:18Not my surrogate.
00:59:20Not my pretend fiance.
00:59:24If you're willing, would you like to forget the contract and become my real wife?
00:59:31What?
00:59:32You're lying about me.
00:59:33I'm salvation.
00:59:40I'll be hiding in here.
00:59:42Did she come and see you?
00:59:45Did she hurt you?
00:59:46No.
00:59:48Just...
00:59:49Wasn't she your true love? I saw you taking care of her.
00:59:52What? I have nothing to do with her anymore.
00:59:56Yes, my father asked her over, but I kicked her out.
00:59:59I haven't had feelings for her since we broke up.
01:00:03Really?
01:00:11I'm not letting you go. Not ever.
01:00:23Surrogacy? Contract 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.
01:00:43Your perfect uncle? He 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?
01:01:10I'll comfort him.
01:01:11Help him rebuild, of course.
01:01:13Show him who really belongs by his side.
01:01:16And Lila?
01:01:18Once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:01:21You can have your little toy back.
01:01:35Thankfully, Mr. Crawford gave me the key.
01:01:53Surrogatic laments.
01:01:57biblical history
