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.
00:10:34As you're saying.
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...
00:10:43Hey, 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 every day.
00:11:01I'm sorry.
00:11:03Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiancé?
00:11:09Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiancé?
00:11:13I...
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.
00:11:27You'll stay at my house during the pregnancy.
00:11:30Okay.
00:11:32Um...
00:11:33What 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.
00:11:48And...
00:11:50I do need it soon.
00:11:53Sound.
00:11:55Sound.
00:12:20Welcome to the family, Ms. Reed.
00:12:23We were heightened.
00:12:48Wow, my whole apartment could fit in his hallway.
00:12:56Well, well.
00:12:58Missed me so much, you had to track me down.
00:13:04Couldn'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?
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.
00:13:36I thought it was cute before, but now...
00:13:40Come on, baby.
00:13:42This is what you really came in for.
00:13:46All right?
00:13:50Uncle!
00:13:51What are you doing?
00:13:54Your filthy hands off of my fiancée.
00:13:58Fiancée?
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.
00:14:25You stay 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.
00:14:48Yeah, I'm fine.
00:14:51I just...
00:14:54Ethan's your nephew.
00:14:55And he's your...
00:14:59Well...
00:14:59He 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.
00:15:10Thompson will bring your things up shortly.
00:15:12Thanks.
00:15:13Um...
00:15:15Where will I be staying?
00:15:17Here.
00:15:23What?
00:15:24Unless you prefer explaining to the staff
00:15:26why 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.
00:15:48Okay.
00:15:52Okay.
00:16:02See?
00:16:03My brilliant plan work.
00:16:08Wait, how did I...
00:16:11Sir, our new project in Singapore has been blooming.
00:16:14I mean, we have some meetings for you to attend, to discuss our future plans with the board members.
00:16:19Sir?
00:16:25You okay?
00:16:28I'm fine.
00:16:30I'm fine.
00:16:32I'm fine.
00:16:34I'm fine.
00:16:35I'm fine.
00:16:44You okay?
00:16:44Yeah.
00:16:46I'm fine.
00:16:55Continue.
00:16:57I'm fine.
00:16:58I'm fine.
00:17:00I'm fine.
00:17:08I'm fine.
00:17:16I'm fine.
00:17:18I'm fine.
00:17:19I'm fine.
00:17:20I'm fine.
00:17:22I'm fine.
00:17:24I'm fine.
00:17:25I'm fine.
00:17:25I'm fine.
00:17:48Okay, maintain control.
00:17:55Oh, that's cold, that's cold.
00:18:08Sorry, didn't see you.
00:18:10It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:16Ah, my brother's mysterious fiance.
00:18:20Mrs Crawford.
00:18:23Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:36Tell me dear, how did you meet Adrian?
00:18:42Through mutual friends.
00:18:44Really? Mutual friends?
00:18:48Pray tell, what mutual friend would Adrian possibly have in your social circle?
00:18:56Unless, of course, it was a business arrangement.
00:19:00I'm sorry?
00:19:05A girl in your position surely would have negotiated.
00:19:11The only negotiations was whether I'd take his last name or keep mine.
00:19:15Well then.
00:19:18Next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:21You, as Adrian's fiance, 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.
00:19:56Oh, 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.
00:20:10Must 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 a plan filled me.
00:20:27Stop it!
00:20:29Really?
00:20:30I can see you.
00:20:31You 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 duck 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.
00:21:11I'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.
00:21:29I won't let the words get to me.
00:21:30I promise.
00:21:39Lila, what happened?
00:21:42What should I do?
00:21:53What should I do?
00:21:55How's the happy couple today?
00:22:05I'll do something.
00:22:10No worries.
00:22:15It's just a small pinch.
00:22:16That is not small.
00:22:23It's okay.
00:22:25Over here.
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 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.
00:23:34Oh, do you need help?
00:23:35No, wait, I didn't mean...
00:23:37Are you sure?
00:23:37I can come in there.
00:23:43Um...
00:23:46Okay.
00:23:47Come in.
00:24:00So...
00:24:01Want help?
00:24:02Yeah, what can I...
00:24:05Oh my God.
00:24:07You thought...
00:24:09No, no, I didn't.
00:24:10Um, I didn't...
00:24:11I, um...
00:24:13I'm...
00:24:14I'm...
00:24:14I'm gonna go.
00:24:17I'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 shots might hurt a little, but...
00:24:41You're in pain.
00:24:42It's just some discomfort, it'll pass.
00:24:43I'll be okay.
00:24:44Okay.
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.
00:25:18And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:42And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:46What would be that?
00:25:58Purely professional care.
00:26:26Adrian, wait. About this weekend.
00:26:28Sorry, emergency in Atlanta. The merger's falling apart.
00:26:31But...
00:26:31Thompson, have the jet ready in 20.
00:26:34Your family invited me to dinner. Now, you know what? I can do it myself.
00:26:42I 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 Stalter.
00:26:56I don't know why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:27:02Ethan, what did you say that she does? A fashion designer?
00:27:07Worse. Seamstress.
00:27:10She 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. 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. But seriously. I mean, I do pity her, right?
00:27:43Her worthless clothing and our beautiful home. I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:52Come get her now.
00:28:15Apologies for the delay.
00:28:25My, my, my, my. Trying 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 Adrian's socks.
00:29:05You know, I wasn't brought up into wealth, but I was raised with something far more valuable.
00:29:10Integrity.
00:29:13Integrity. Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:29:23How much?
00:29:25How much would it take for you to disappear?
00:29:28Name your price.
00:29:29Mr. Crawford, I believe that's the difference between you and me.
00:29:32I don't think everything can be bought for me.
00:29:37Excuse me.
00:29:49Stay calm.
00:29:51You got this.
00:29:53I'll dress up for me, baby.
00:30:01I need to get back to dinner.
00:30:02What's the rush?
00:30:03We're all family here.
00:30:09Don'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.
00:30:34Is everything okay?
00:30:37You look a bit flustered.
00:30:41As I was thinking about the world for the future.
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 think.
00:31:43For caring my child.
00:31:45I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:31:48Not somebody else's.
00:31:50And she's tough.
00:31:52Even 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.
00:32:13Cancel it, Lana.
00:32:14But, but, but, sir, the murder...
00:32:18Murder.
00:32:19Yes, sir.
00:32:33What a touching story, Uncle.
00:32:36Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:32:40What are you talking about?
00:32:43We've been dating for three years.
00:32:46See?
00:32:55So, clearly she planned all this.
00:32:58Dated me first to get to know the family.
00:33:00And now, well, set her sights higher.
00:33:03Manipulative little...
00:33:04Face it, Uncle.
00:33:05You're just another step on her ladder to the top.
00:33:08Who knows how many men she's slept with already, right?
00:33:13You're right.
00:33:13You'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?
00:33:32Or 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, sit down.
00:34:23Let me have a look at that.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:28Sit down.
00:34:29Let me have a look at that.
00:34:31Okay.
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 Crawford now.
00:34:48I'm like...
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...
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.
00:35:35We 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?
00:36:01It might feel a bit cold.
00:36:09That white little spot?
00:36:11Yeah.
00:36:12That's our baby.
00:36:16Really?
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.
00:37:02I don't know.
00:37:31I don't know.
00:37:32Not quite.
00:37:33You 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.
00:38:08Adrian?
00:38:11My stomach.
00:38:15If anything, anything happens to Tony Fionke 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.
00:38:49Thompson, cancel all my plans.
00:38:52Everything for the next month goes to Jack.
00:38:54Sir?
00:38:55What happened?
00:38:56You need my help?
00:38:57No, you can't help me on this.
00:38:58Just do as I say.
00:39:01You and Ethan, you've never gotten along, have you?
00:39:06Why?
00:39:07You seem to care a lot about him.
00:39:09No, it's not like that.
00:39:12Just get some rest.
00:39:13You had a rough day.
00:39:15Why did you choose to believe me about Ethan?
00:39:18Just...
00:39:20Just...
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.
00:39:55Like, these have zero nutritional value.
00:39:58You can take those.
00:40:00The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:02The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:05And chips.
00:40:06And chips.
00:40:07And ice cream.
00:40:08You wouldn't deny anyone, Jack.
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?
00:40:36Half a treat.
00:40:37Fat, y'all have no IDs for believe me when you're taking a visit.

00:50:13Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:50:16Ever since she came into your life, you've been ruining, you've been undermining everything
00:50:22that 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.
00:50:32We 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 brute mare.
00:50:42Once she delivers, you pay her off and you'll be done with it.
00:50:47Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:50:50Someone like me.
00:50:56Vivian joins Crawford Industry tomorrow.
00:51:00Non-negotiable.
00:51:02She'll be with you every day.
00:51:04Just like before.
00:51:06In your little pet project.
00:51:08She can stay at home with just eight.
00:51:10That's all she's good for.
00:51:13Get out!
00:51:14Both of you!
00:51:15Get at you!
00:51:17If you ever speak about my life like that again, I swear I will burn Crawford Industries
00:51:22to the ground before I let either of you touch it.
00:51:27Adrian, be reasonable.
00:51:30She is worth a thousand of you.
00:51:32Tomorrow, 9 a.m.
00:51:35Vivian starts.
00:51:36No discussion.
00:51:38Is that all?
00:51:39For now, don't disappoint me again.
00:51:44Ah.
00:51:55Stop it.
00:51:56Stop checking.
00:51:57I was independent before him.
00:51:58I didn't need someone to create a meal plan for me or hold me while I sleep.
00:52:08No.
00:52:10I'm not going to be that girl.
00:52:16I can work on my own.
00:52:18You know, I don't need his arrangements or his dental care.
00:52:25Just a tool for a baby.
00:52:35So Lila and Adrian's relationship is on the rocks.
00:52:39Well, if it isn't the perfect opportunity to gain her trust and trick her back to me.
00:52:45Lila.
00:52:46I'm fine.
00:52:47You're not fine.
00:52:49Hospital.
00:52:50Now.
00:52:51Put me down.
00:52:52Put 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 seeing the way he treats you, it's tearing me apart.
00:53:28Ethan, you.
00:53:31Adrian, stop.
00:53:32What are you doing?
00:53:33I'm protecting you.
00:53:34Ethan, help me.
00:53:35He found me bleeding and brought me here.
00:53:37Now you're defending him?
00:53:38I'm defending the truth.
00:53:40Sometimes people surprise you.
00:53:43I see.
00:53:45Adrian.
00:53:46I'll get the doctor.
00:53:48Adrian.
00:53:53I want full blood work, fetal monitoring, and get the OB-GYN down here.
00:54:00Sir, it's just a minor cough.
00:54:02I 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.
00:54:10No, some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:54:14One of those beach dates we used to have.
00:54:17You said I was the best.
00:54:21Thompson, call on the catering.
00:54:24The other one, the push list.
00:54:27Lila's been craving, sir.
00:54:29Femilien, fatty, cut.
00:54:31No, what's up?
00:54:32I didn't say those.
00:54:34The prenatal vitamins I researched should arrive shortly.
00:54:37They're custom formulated for a Lila flood type and genetic makeup.
00:54:46Everything's already being taken care of.
00:54:49You can defend him if he touches you, Reagan.
00:54:53I'll be there.
00:54:56I didn't mean to.
00:54:57Hello?
00:54:57Wait.
00:55:05Vivian was sick.
00:55:06I gave her a key and let her rest at our place.
00:55:10Overworked, they say.
00:55:12I'm cleaning up your company's mess.
00:55:14I have meetings.
00:55:17Well, cancel them.
00:55:19You're going to take care of her now.
00:55:21No negotiation.
00:55:23Well, either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you,
00:55:27or I'll call an emergency board meeting.
00:55:35You can skip the performance, Vivian.
00:55:38It's still so cold.
00:55:41Remember the first time you bought me flowers?
00:55:44Yeah, that was a long time ago.
00:55:48Adrian, 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.
00:56:32Laila.
00:56:33Hi, Dad.
00:56:40Your hand.
00:56:41It's nothing.
00:56:44Dad, I have something I want to tell you.
00:56:50I'm having a baby.
00:56:52You're going to be a grandpa.
00:56:54Is that one of Ethan's boys?
00:56:56No, not him.
00:56:57Then who?
00:56:59It doesn't matter.
00:57:00Dad, look.
00:57:02What really matters is that this is my baby.
00:57:05And I am going to love them just like you love me.
00:57:10Oh, sweetheart.
00:57:11I'm so sorry.
00:57:13I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you.
00:57:15If I was healthier, if I could work...
00:57:18Dad, it's okay.
00:57:20The hospital bills.
00:57:21Where are you going to get the money from?
00:57:24How are you going to pay for them?
00:57:25Mom, please tell me you didn't sell yourself to someone.
00:57:30No, Dad.
00:57:30It isn't like that.
00:57:32Did someone take advantage of you?
00:57:34My little girl.
00:57:36Pregnant and alone.
00:57:38She's not alone.
00:57:44Adrian.
00:57:45Mr. 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, will 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.
00:59:00Eileen, you have to understand something.
00:59:03I have been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
00:59:11Yes, we had a contract.
00:59:14But I realized you've become everything to me.
00:59:18Not my surrogate.
00:59:20Not my pretend fiancé.
00:59:25If you're willing, would you like to forget the contract and become my real wife?
00:59:41Babe.
00:59:42Did she come and see you?
00:59:45Did she hurt you?
00:59:46No.
00:59:48Just...
00:59:49Was it she 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, but 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.
01:00:18I don't know.
01:00:26I think we're past trying to hide who we are.
01:00:31I don't know.
01:00:31I know.
01:00:33was so urgent. I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you. If this
01:00:38is about Lila and my uncle, it's about how she really got pregnant. Your perfect uncle, he hired
01:00:45her. She's just a surrogate. The whole engagement is a lie. A contract. Oh, the board would love to
01:00:57hear about this. Next week's family meeting, we reveal everything. Until then, we need to find some
01:01:05evidence. And once he's ruined? I'll comfort him. Help him rebuild, of course. Show him who really
01:01:15belongs by his side. And Lila? Once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him. You can have your
01:01:22little toy back. Thankfully, Mr. Crawford gave me the key.
01:01:53Surrogate agreement. Limpical history. There must be some evidence somewhere.
01:02:06Adrian's always so organized. Where are the important documents?
01:02:22Adrian? Is that you?
01:02:32Shit.
01:02:37Vivian.
01:02:40Oh, Adrian.
01:02:42What are you doing here?
01:02:44I was just looking for you.
01:02:46You know, Adrian. If it's an heir you want, we can make one right now. Poor Lila doesn't have to
01:02:55know. She's already asleep. It'll be our little secret.
01:03:03Here. In the hallway.
01:03:05Wherever you want, darling.
01:03:08What if someone sees us?
01:03:09Scared?
01:03:10I know somewhere.
01:03:14I'm a private.
01:03:20Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:03:26Adrian? Adrian!
01:03:29Enjoy the storage closet!
01:03:31Adrian!
01:03:47How'd it go?
01:03:48Just drive.
01:03:49Guess as much.
01:03:51Don't worry.
01:03:51I've got 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.
01:04:14How?
01:04:16Listen to your bodies and then...
01:04:18Thanks, thanks, Doc.
01:04:19Thanks.
01:04:29Mr. Anderson.
01:04:34Let's talk about the scene Sinclair's arrangement.
01:04:39Was it a contract surrogacy?
01:04:41Mr. Herringham, I've come discuss patient information.
01:04:46I heard the hospital is opening up a new wing.
01:04:49It would be a shame if your name mysteriously disappeared in the vest.
01:04:56Won't it?
01:04:59Shall we talk about the arrangement now?
01:05:03Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:13Oh my God.
01:05:23Surrogacy! Surrogacy!
01:05:28Five generations. Four for dignity.
01:05:33All trashed by a tabloid scandal.
01:05:36A surrogate? You used a surrogate to gain the inheritance?
01:05:42If that's what you wanted, Adrian, why didn't you just say it?
01:05:45Why drag the family's name through the mud?
01:05:49This isn't true.
01:05:50It's nothing but a malicious rumor.
01:05:53Don't believe everything you see in the news.
01:05:57Myla and I, we're in love.
01:06:03Your lives stop here, Uncle.
01:06:08Grandfather, the files. Proving their contract.
01:06:13Lila isn't his fiancee.
01:06:15She's just a surrogate who got hired to bear an heir.
01:06:20Medical files from Crawford Fertility Center.
01:06:24They show Ms. Reed undergoing IVF treatment.
01:06:29And was generously compensated.
01:06:33A surrogate. How vulgar.
01:06:36You dare deceive me with this?
01:06:38Filth? Dragging the clawfoot name through the mud?
01:06:42I'll deal with it.
01:06:44Right.
01:06:45How? God knows what else you've schemed.
01:06:50Actually, I might have a solution.
01:06:53Replace Adrian's fiancee with me.
01:06:57Let Lila take the fall in the media.
01:07:00She's just a desperate gold digger who wants to bear an heir just so she can become queen.
01:07:06Shut your mouth.
01:07:11Fine!
01:07:13We marry Vivian now.
01:07:15Before you give up your shares and get out!
01:07:19Adrian, I always get the man you want.
01:07:25Now that she does this, you could still get inheritance.
01:07:29No rush. Let's get them into trouble.
01:07:32He's fought too hard to lose everything now.
01:07:37He'll do it.
01:07:39I'll give it all up.
01:07:41The company.
01:07:43My inheritance.
01:07:46Everything.
01:07:48But not Lila.
01:07:50Not my wife.
01:07:52The only woman I've ever loved.
01:07:55And we're getting married.
01:07:57Officially.
01:07:59Publicly.
01:08:00No.
01:08:05It's a VB.
01:08:06Elizabeth.
01:08:09She's a man.
01:08:10You want to give up everything for her.
01:08:13Give up your inheritance.
01:08:15Everything goes to it!
01:08:18The only woman.
01:08:20You're giving up your inheritance just for her?
01:08:23I don't think!
01:08:23Are you insane?
01:08:25I would never choose anything more for my wife.

01:10:51Yeah.
01:10:53It is.
01:11:01Milo, were you?
01:11:03Yes.
01:11:04Of 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.
01:13:06And, and it's all documented right here.
01:13:11The 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.
01:13:21Dad.
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.
01:14:11The baby's asleep.
01:14:14Guess that means I get you all to myself.
01:14:18Don't distract me.
01:14:19I'm almost finished.
01:14:22I'm designing my wedding dress.
01:14:24Incredible.
01:14:26I might hire you to design my tux.
01:14:30You know, I think I'm going to have to check my schedule.
01:14:34Oh, it's like that.
01:14:38I still can't believe we're getting married.
01:14:41Ever since you crashed into me at the hospital, I haven't been able to get you out of my head.
01:14:45And soon I'll be able to love you openly and officially for the rest of my life.
01:14:52Uh, practicing your 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 fiance by Christmas.
01:15:18No inheritance.
01:15:20Do 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 from the Miller farm.
01:15:38A bottom.
