00:00:03Miss Ri, your ovaries aren't doing their best lately.
00:00:07This could be the start of ovarian failure.
00:00:10Ovarian failure? I mean, I'm so young.
00:00:12Is this gonna mess with me having kids?
00:00:14I've always wanted to be a mom.
00:00:16If you want a child, it is medically advisable to do so within the next six months.
00:00:22Through everything, here we stand.
00:00:26Babe, me at X Hotels, 3.02 at 7 p.m.
00:00:30Got a surprise for you.
00:00:34Ethan loves me so much, maybe...
00:00:37Maybe it's not such a bad idea to have a baby sooner rather than later.
00:00:43No, I'm gonna tell him now.
00:00:45Yeah, okay.
00:00:49Oh!
00:01:04Early ovarian failure at 25.
00:01:07If someone sees this, die of embarrassment.
00:01:13Sorry.
00:01:14Are you okay?
00:01:15Yeah, I'm fine.
00:01:22I'm fine.
00:01:33Oh, my God!
00:01:35Lila!
00:01:37You said you'd be back at 7.
00:01:39Cheating?
00:01:40Is this the big surprise you had planned for me?
00:01:45Oh, you're such a buzzkill.
00:01:47You always said you wanted to try something new?
00:01:49Come join us.
00:01:54You always said you wanted to try something new?
00:01:56Come join us.
00:01:57Three years.
00:01:58You know, I wasted three years on you.
00:02:01God, I'm such an idiot.
00:02:03You know, I was planning on having a baby.
00:02:05A baby.
00:02:06A baby.
00:02:07Oh.
00:02:08Sweet art.
00:02:18You really think I'd marry you for your cheap love over legs like these?
00:02:24You know what?
00:02:26We're done.
00:02:28Six months?
00:02:29What, am I just supposed to find some random guy to get me pregnant?
00:02:43I don't need a man to have my dreams come true.
00:02:46One appointment, one sperm donor, and I can have my own baby.
00:02:58Six months to produce an heir, or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:03:04Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:03:08Well, sir, the surrogate candidates have all been vetted thoroughly.
00:03:11I mean, Ivy League graduates.
00:03:15Expectable health histories.
00:03:17I don't need resumes.
00:03:19I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:03:21Find me someone who knows their place.
00:03:23Someone who will quietly disappear after they give birth.
00:03:31It's you.
00:03:35Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:03:37Oh, um...
00:03:39Right, well, let's get started.
00:03:44Education background?
00:03:45Excuse me?
00:03:46Um...
00:03:47And I'm going to need a complete medical history.
00:03:48Family genetic conditions, mostly.
00:03:51Um...
00:03:51Do you exercise regularly?
00:03:52You look...
00:03:56Acceptable.
00:03:58Do you have any idea who I am?
00:04:00I'm just being thorough.
00:04:02This is about making a healthy baby, after all.
00:04:07Gosh, why are men almost so full of themselves?
00:04:10Um...
00:04:11Um, sir, I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:04:14I need to know about your...
00:04:15Reproductive history.
00:04:17Sexual partners in the last six months?
00:04:19Mr Crawford, I can show her out.
00:04:21It's okay.
00:04:22Thompson, you can leave us.
00:04:24Okay.
00:04:25What are you doing?
00:04:32I'm making sure this is...
00:04:35Thorough.
00:04:39Harvard Business School.
00:04:40MBA.
00:04:41Top of my class.
00:04:43No family history of any genetic disorders.
00:04:45I work out five times a week.
00:04:47Crossfit.
00:04:48Yoga.
00:04:49Rock climbing.
00:04:50Cycling.
00:04:50As for...
00:04:53Intimate matters.
00:04:55I can assure you that performance has never been a problem.
00:04:58Now that Thompson's gone, are you comfortable sharing yours?
00:05:01Of course.
00:05:03I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:05:05No genetic conditions.
00:05:06I get checkups regularly.
00:05:08I haven't started taking prenatal vitamins.
00:05:13I have to say, you're a perfect match.
00:05:16How about in regards to compensation, have you got a figure in mind?
00:05:20Well, I was thinking...
00:05:22Eight hundred?
00:05:23Dollars?
00:05:24Eight hundred dollars?
00:05:27Well...
00:05:28I was expecting a figure...
00:05:31Much higher than that.
00:05:32I know it's not much, but...
00:05:34You know...
00:05:36Considering the quality, and...
00:05:37And 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?
00:05:55All this?
00:05:56Take your time reviewing, but the key point is...
00:05:58After birth, the child stays with me.
00:06:00No contact.
00:06:01Are you...
00:06:02Are you kidding me?
00:06:03You wanna keep my baby?
00:06:07Are you kidding me?
00:06:08You wanna keep my baby?
00:06:09My baby!
00:06:11Is this some kind of sick joke?
00:06:13That's standard procedure for a surrogacy agreement.
00:06:16Surrogacy what?
00:06:17Surrogacy!
00:06:18The position that you're interviewing for.
00:06:20Interviewing? No, I came here to buy sperm.
00:06:23You came to what?
00:06:29Oh my god.
00:06:32I...
00:06:33I...
00:06:34I thought you were a donor.
00:06:36That is why I came here asking you all those questions about your...
00:06:40Qualifications.
00:06:42And I thought you were applying to be my surrogate.
00:06:45I am...
00:06:47So sorry about all the confusion. I...
00:06:52I'm gonna go.
00:06:55A million dollars.
00:06:58For carrying my child.
00:07:04I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:07:08Not somebody else's.
00:07:13Next.
00:07:21Miss Reed, your father.
00:07:23You need to come now.
00:07:33My love.
00:07:36It's gonna be okay, dad. You're gonna be okay.
00:07:39I'm not afraid to die.
00:07:43I'm just afraid...
00:07:45To leave you alone.
00:07:47Dad?
00:07:49Dad?
00:07:50Doctor!
00:07:51Help! Please!
00:08:01A doctor, my father. How is he?
00:08:04The cancer has spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:08:07Then treat him. Now!
00:08:09The full course of treatment will cost approximately one million dollars.
00:08:14Aristocratic etiquette training.
00:08:17Influencer.
00:08:18Bachelor in economics.
00:08:19Yeah, right. She's underage.
00:08:21Is this the last batch?
00:08:22Yes, sir.
00:08:23The brunette asked about ring sizes.
00:08:25Blonde.
00:08:26That's all she asked about.
00:08:27A good name.
00:08:28And a red hat.
00:08:29All of them just want the Crawford name.
00:08:33But none of them are suitable.
00:08:38This one was refreshing. She was real. No schemes.
00:08:46Well, Mr. Crawford, she wasn't here for servicing.
00:08:49Sometimes the best candidates aren't looking for the job.
00:08:51Oh, my God.
00:08:53A million dollars? I...
00:08:55Maybe I could get a loan?
00:09:01A million dollars.
00:09:04For carrying my child.
00:09:17Hello?
00:09:18Mila Reed.
00:09:19This is Adrienne Crawford.
00:09:27I saw her thinking.
00:09:31About the other day.
00:09:33I think I may have been...
00:09:35A little hasty.
00:09:37You're reconsidering?
00:09:38Don't look so smug.
00:09:39I just...
00:09:43I have my reasons.
00:09:45As do I.
00:09:48I could propose a modification to the original tombs.
00:09:54What kind of modification?
00:09:56Joint custody.
00:09:59As well as carrying the child you'd be.
00:10:01Its mother.
00:10:04Why would you do that?
00:10:06You're direct.
00:10:08Honest.
00:10:09No hidden agendas.
00:10:11Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:10:15So...
00:10:17I'd really be a part of the baby's life?
00:10:19Yes.
00:10:21But just to be clear.
00:10:22You'll be parents.
00:10:24Nothing more.
00:10:25No emotional entanglements.
00:10:26No romantic expectations.
00:10:28Please don't flatter yourself.
00:10:33From the snow.
00:10:34The board is getting impatient.
00:10:37Have you considered the arrangement that I've suggested?
00:10:40I have my own plans.
00:10:42Hey, if you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
00:10:49The Crowfoot name means something.
00:10:51I won't have it changed by...
00:10:55I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:10:57What?
00:10:58I will talk about it again.
00:11:00I'm sorry.
00:11:03Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiancé?
00:11:08Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiancé?
00:11:13Didn't somebody just say, just parents, nothing more?
00:11:18The situation requires adaptation.
00:11:22Is that CEO speak for I changed my mind?
00:11:25You'll need a convincing story.
00:11:27You'll stay at my house during the pregnancy.
00:11:30Okay.
00:11:32What about after?
00:11:34We'll arrange an amicable split.
00:11:36Continue co-parenting.
00:11:37I'll provide additional compensation for the complexity.
00:11:41No, the original match is fine.
00:11:43It's just...
00:11:46I do need it soon.
00:11:51So?
00:12:20Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:12:47My whole apartment could fit in this hallway.
00:12:55Well, well.
00:12:58Missed me so much, you had to track me down.
00:13:03Couldn't get over me, huh?
00:13:06Had to follow me here like a lost puppy dog.
00:13:10Father, do you know I didn't...
00:13:12Wait, what are you doing here?
00:13:13What am I doing here?
00:13:14Sweetheart, you should know better.
00:13:16This is my family's home.
00:13:21You were so mad last time I saw you.
00:13:25Now I find you wandering around.
00:13:28I finally realized what you were missing, huh?
00:13:30Get your hands off me.
00:13:33Plain hard to get.
00:13:35Now that was cute before, but now...
00:13:39Come on, baby.
00:13:40This is what you really came in for.
00:13:44Alright?
00:13:49Uncle!
00:13:51What are you doing?
00:13:53Your filthy hands.
00:13:55Off of my fiancé.
00:13:58Fiancé?
00:13:59Uncle?
00:14:04No way.
00:14:07She is just...
00:14:08Shut your mouth.
00:14:10Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:14:14Come on.
00:14:16This is crazy.
00:14:18You seriously don't know.
00:14:22I won't repeat myself.
00:14:24Stay away from my fiancé.
00:14:28One more word and you can kiss your trust fund goodbye.
00:14:45Are you alright?
00:14:46Yeah.
00:14:48Yeah, I'm fine.
00:14:50I just...
00:14:53Ethan's your nephew?
00:14:54And he's your...
00:14:58Well...
00:14:58He may have been kind of...
00:15:01My boyfriend.
00:15:03Ex!
00:15:04Ex-boyfriend.
00:15:06Very ex.
00:15:06Extremely 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?
00:15:16Here.
00:15:22What?
00:15:23Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple are sleeping in separate rooms.
00:15:29Oh.
00:15:31Right.
00:15:32Fake engagement.
00:15:34Real roommates.
00:15:37This is the line.
00:15:39Don't cross it.
00:15:41Ever.
00:15:41I wasn't planning on it.
00:15:43Good.
00:15:43Didn't want you to.
00:15:45Good.
00:15:45I won't.
00:15:46Okay.
00:15:51Okay.
00:16:01See?
00:16:02My brilliant plan work.
00:16:07Wait, how did I...
00:16:10Sir, our new project in Singapore has been blooming.
00:16:13I mean, we have some meetings for you to attend, to discuss our future plans with the board members.
00:16:19Sir?
00:16:24You okay?
00:16:26You okay?
00:16:26I changed.
00:16:28Jesus Christ.
00:16:29You okay?
00:16:30Yeah.
00:16:31I'm fine.
00:16:31Continue.
00:16:32Okay.
00:16:33So, the meeting.
00:16:34Singapore.
00:16:44Layla, stay on your side.
00:16:50Layla.
00:16:52Layla, wake up.
00:17:07Layla.
00:17:09Layla.
00:17:13Layla.
00:17:15Layla.
00:17:17Layla.
00:17:18Layla.
00:17:19Layla.
00:17:19Layla.
00:17:20Layla.
00:17:21Layla.
00:17:22Layla.
00:17:23Layla.
00:17:23Layla.
00:17:47Okay, maintain control.
00:17:54Oh, that's cold. That's cold.
00:18:05Ow!
00:18:07Sorry, didn't see you. It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:15Ah, my brother's mysterious fiance.
00:18:20Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:23Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:35Tell me, dear, how did you meet Adrian?
00:18:41Through mutual friends.
00:18:42Really? Mutual friends.
00:18:48Pray tell, what mutual friend would Adrian possibly have in your social circle?
00:18:55Unless, of course, it was a business arrangement.
00:18:58I'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.
00:19:14Well then, next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:20You, as Adrian's fiancee, would be expected to attend.
00:19:27I'd be honored.
00:19:28Wonderful.
00:19:29I'm sure you can find something suitable to wear.
00:19:37Helen, make sure to take good care of your mistress.
00:19:52Excuse me, Miss Reed.
00:19:54Need to clean.
00:19:56Oh, of course. Let me just get my stuff out of your way.
00:20:02Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner room?
00:20:07How creative.
00:20:09Must be harder than your family watching you change a rich man.
00:20:13As a maid, maybe you should just focus on your own job.
00:20:15My business is none of your concern.
00:20:21Oh, how clumsy of me.
00:20:26Stop it!
00:20:28Really?
00:20:29The thing is you could just marry a rich man.
00:20:32You're just trash trying to climb a social ladder.
00:20:36Hey!
00:20:37Mr. Crawford!
00:20:40She was trying to attack me.
00:20:44I'm just trying to help.
00:20:46Get out.
00:20:46I'm sorry. I can't explain.
00:20:48One more word and you're fired.
00:20:50Get out.
00:20:54What happened?
00:20:56Nothing.
00:20:57I just...
00:20:59I need some space.
00:21:02I'll stay in the guest room tonight.
00:21:04Lali, you don't have to.
00:21:05Please.
00:21:07I need some time alone.
00:21:09No, you stay.
00:21:11I'll sleep on the salt.
00:21:20I miss her so much, daddy.
00:21:23Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:25As long as we can get you better,
00:21:28I will let the words get to me.
00:21:30I promise.
00:21:38Lali, what happened?
00:21:41What should I do?
00:21:54How's the happy couple today?
00:22:03How's the happy couple today?
00:22:13No worries.
00:22:14It's just a small pinch.
00:22:16That is not small!
00:22:22It's okay.
00:22:24Over here.
00:22:25Understand?
00:22:31It's the perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:43Mr. Crawford, it is your time for the sperm collection.
00:22:46Okay, how do we do this water prep do we need?
00:22:49No need.
00:22:50Just head to the collection room and use your hand.
00:22:53Okay.
00:23:21Mr. Crawford, are you all right in there?
00:23:26Mr. Crawford, I'm fine.
00:23:28I just need some assistance.
00:23:32Oh, do you need help?
00:23:34No, wait, I didn't mean...
00:23:36Are you sure?
00:23:37I can come in there.
00:23:45Um, okay. Come in.
00:24:00So, you want to help?
00:24:01Yeah, what can I?
00:24:04Oh, my God. You thought...
00:24:08No, no, I didn't. Um, I didn't.
00:24:11I, um, I'm...
00:24:13I'm... I'm gonna go.
00:24:16I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go so far away.
00:24:20Helpful.
00:24:34Are you okay?
00:24:36Dr. Anderson said the hormone shots might hurt a little, but...
00:24:40You're in pain.
00:24:41It's just some discomfort. It'll pass. I'll be okay.
00:24:49Here, this should help.
00:25:02Um, well, the hormone shots were part of the agreement.
00:25:12So, any resulting discomfort is technically a work-related issue.
00:25:16And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:19There, it's one you're doing.
00:25:22How did you do it?
00:25:28Tandem'o.
00:25:58Professional care.
00:26:15You're a professional care.
00:26:25Adrian, wait. About this weekend.
00:26:27Sorry, emergency in Atlanta. The merger's falling apart.
00:26:30But...
00:26:31Thompson, have the jet ready in 20.
00:26:33Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:35Now you know what?
00:26:37I can do it myself.
00:26:41I don't suppose that we could expect punctuality
00:26:45from someone who has never owned a watch in her entire life.
00:26:51I introduced him to the Thompson Arons.
00:26:54Senator's daughter.
00:26:56I don't know why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:27:01Ethan, what did you say that she does?
00:27:04A fashion designer?
00:27:06Worse.
00:27:08Seamstress.
00:27:09She probably thinks having the Crawford family do her name will raise her to the top
00:27:14and then she can have her own fashion show.
00:27:16She's poor. Fine.
00:27:19But no sense of time either.
00:27:21I need to have a serious talk with Adrian.
00:27:24Probably just digging for a wardrobe.
00:27:25Can't find something to wear.
00:27:27A fashion designer scrounging around for an outfit.
00:27:31How ironic.
00:27:32Maybe her designs are just too embarrassing to be seen in public.
00:27:36Okay.
00:27:37But seriously.
00:27:39I mean, I do pity her, right?
00:27:42Her worthless clothing and our beautiful home.
00:27:46I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:51Go get her now.
00:28:14Apologies for the delay.
00:28:24My, my, my.
00:28:26Trying hard to get the part.
00:28:29James!
00:28:31Make sure none of the silver is missing after dinner.
00:28:37At least we know that Adrian's credit card is being put to good use.
00:28:44Although money can buy you designer clothing,
00:28:49it can't buy you a good upbringing.
00:28:51Actually, I made the dress myself.
00:28:53The little seamstress that you are.
00:28:56How quaint.
00:28:57At least we know who will be darning.
00:29:00Adrian sucks.
00:29:04You know, I wasn't brought up into wealth,
00:29:06but I was raised with something far more valuable.
00:29:10Integrity.
00:29:12Integrity.
00:29:13Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:29:22How much?
00:29:24How much would it take for you to disappear?
00:29:27Name your price.
00:29:28Mr. Crawford, I believe that's the difference between you and me.
00:29:32I don't think everything can be bought with money.
00:29:37Excuse me.
00:29:48Stay calm.
00:29:51You got this.
00:29:52I'll dress up for me, baby.
00:30:00I need to get back to dinner.
00:30:02What's the rush?
00:30:03We're all family here.
00:30:07Almost family.
00:30:08Don't touch me.
00:30:09You used to like it when I touched you.
00:30:11Remember how shy you were?
00:30:13Always saying no.
00:30:14Let go of me, you creep.
00:30:15Right?
00:30:16Careful now.
00:30:17On Scream and everyone at dinner will find out what kind of a girl you really are.
00:30:21and her love history.
00:30:23Oh!
00:30:26Stop.
00:30:27Stop.
00:30:34Is everything okay?
00:30:36You look a bit flustered.
00:30:40As I was saying, about the Wilson, would you?
00:30:45Stop it.
00:30:47Something wrong with me.
00:30:58I don't know how you managed to seduce my son.
00:31:04Someone like you never deserve a place in this family.
00:31:08I'm the one that told her to stay here and be with me.
00:31:19If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:31:24You want to know how we met?
00:31:26She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:31:30She's brave.
00:31:31It's just a love letter in her hand.
00:31:33She confessed to me right there at the hospital.
00:31:36She's not into money.
00:31:38Even if someone dropped a million dollars at her feet, she wouldn't even think.
00:31:42For caring my child.
00:31:44I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:31:48Not somebody else's.
00:31:50And she's tough.
00:31:51Even after everything you did to humiliate her, she didn't walk away in anger.
00:31:55And she's still here.
00:31:57I thought you were supposed to be in Atlanta.
00:31:59How did you...
00:32:02Sir, two things.
00:32:03First, your mother's invited Mrs. Crawford to the family dinner.
00:32:06Second, the daddy's ready.
00:32:07We can go now.
00:32:12Cancel it, Lana.
00:32:13But, but, but, sir, is that a murder?
00:32:17Murder.
00:32:18Yes, sir.
00:32:32What a touching story, Uncle.
00:32:34Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:32:40What are you talking about?
00:32:42We've been dating for three years.
00:32:45See?
00:32:54So, clearly she planned all this.
00:32:57Dated me first to get to know the family.
00:32:59And 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?
00:33:12You're right.
00:33:14We did date for three years, but you were cheating on me for two of them.
00:33:21What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:24Nudes?
00:33:27What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:30Nudes?
00:33:31Or do you record videos?
00:33:37That was for every lie you just told.
00:33:40You Lila!
00:33:42How dare you, Adrian, hit my son!
00:33:48Lila.
00:33:51Where do you think you're going?
00:33:53We're not finished yet.
00:33:56Yes, we are.
00:34:02I'm sorry.
00:34:03I should have never left you alone with my family.
00:34:05It's okay.
00:34:08Thank you for coming back.
00:34:10And for all the kind lies you said about us.
00:34:14What happened to your hands?
00:34:17Oh, I was fixing the hemline and I can get kind of clumsy with the needles.
00:34:21Lila, sit down.
00:34:22Let me have a look at that.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:28Sit down.
00:34:28Let me have a look at that.
00:34:30Okay.
00:34:33As my fiance, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:36I expect you to use them.
00:34:39I didn't want to assume.
00:34:43You're Crawford now.
00:34:48I'd like it.
00:35:01Dr. Anderson.
00:35:02Mr. Crawford, the zygots are ready.
00:35:05We can proceed with the implementation tomorrow morning.
00:35:08I see.
00:35:10What is it?
00:35:11Is there something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:12So I've been thinking.
00:35:14Perhaps we could approach this in a more natural manner.
00:35:19Let's help.
00:35:26So, what do you think?
00:35:28Can't afford to let you in.
00:35:30Wow.
00:35:33Um.
00:35:35We should probably get some sleep.
00:35:37You know, the procedure.
00:35:39Oh.
00:35:41Good night, Mr. Crawford.
00:35:54You don't need to be so nervous.
00:35:56Mr. Crawford, try to relax.
00:35:58Can I open up the window?
00:36:00It might feel a bit cold.
00:36:04You cold?
00:36:08That white little spot.
00:36:11Yeah.
00:36:12That's our baby.
00:36:15Really?
00:36:23I can't walk, you know.
00:36:25The doctor said to stay off your feet.
00:36:27Complete rest.
00:36:28You seem more nervous than I am.
00:36:30Hey, I'm just following a medical protocol.
00:36:47Ethan, in order to claim your inheritance, you have to find a way to break them up, no matter what
00:36:53it takes.
00:36:56Maybe finding the chance to get her back into my arms is the best way.
00:37:18Adrian, what do you think?
00:37:30Adrian?
00:37:31Not quite.
00:37:32You want my help?
00:37:35Let go of me.
00:37:36You used to like being in my arms.
00:37:38Remember all those late nights together?
00:37:41Did she?
00:37:43No.
00:37:44No.

00:49:52and vivian
00:50:07What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:11Of doing my job.
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 that we built.
00:50:22Leave Ryla out of this.
00:50:23I don't need to stand here and listen to you.
00:50:25Oh, run along.
00:50:27The adults are talking business now.
00:50:30Don't worry, dear.
00:50:32We just need to borrow him for a moment.
00:50:34Business matters.
00:50:35I wouldn't understand.
00:50:39She's nothing but a brute mare.
00:50:42Once she delivers, you pay her off and you'll be done with it.
00:50:46Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:50:49Someone like me.
00:50:55Vivian joins Crawford Industry tomorrow.
00:50:59Non-negotiable.
00:51:01We'll be with you every day.
00:51:03Just like before.
00:51:05And your little pet project.
00:51:07She can stay at home with just eight.
00:51:09That's all she's good for.
00:51:12Get out!
00:51:13Both of you!
00:51:14Dare you!
00:51:16If you ever speak about my wife like that again, I swear I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground
00:51:22before I let either of you touch it.
00:51:26Adrian, be reasonable.
00:51:29She is worth a thousand up here.
00:51:31Tomorrow, 9 a.m.
00:51:34Tomorrow, 9 a.m.
00:51:34Vivian starts.
00:51:35No discussion.
00:51:37Is that all?
00:51:38For now, don't disappoint me again.
00:51:54Stop it.
00:51:55Stop checking.
00:51:56I was independent before him.
00:51:58I didn't need someone to create a meal plan for me or hold me while I sleep.
00:52:07No.
00:52:09I'm not going to be that girl.
00:52:15I can work on my own.
00:52:18You know, I don't need his arrangements or his dental care.
00:52:24I'm just a tool for a baby.
00:52:34So Lila and Adrian's relationship is on the rocks.
00:52:38Well, if it isn't the perfect opportunity to gain her trust and trick her back to me.
00:52:44Lila!
00:52:46I'm fine.
00:52:47You're not fine.
00:52:48Hospital.
00:52:49Now.
00:52:50Put me down.
00:52:52Put me down!
00:52:58Thank you for bringing me here.
00:53:00I know we've had our differences.
00:53:05I'm like...
00:53:06Now you used to look at me like this.
00:53:08So sweet and sincere.
00:53:10No.
00:53:11Why not?
00:53:13You're telling me there's really nothing still between us.
00:53:16Ethan...
00:53:17He's using you, Lila.
00:53:19Yeah, I know I've messed up, but seeing the way he treats you,
00:53:22it's tearing me apart.
00:53:28Ethan, you...
00:53:30Adrian, stop!
00:53:31What are you doing?
00:53:32I'm protecting you!
00:53:33Ethan, help me!
00:53:34He found me bleeding and brought me here.
00:53:36Now you're defending him?
00:53:38I'm defending the truth.
00:53:40Sometimes I need to surprise you.
00:53:42I see.
00:53:45Adrian...
00:53:45I'll get the doctor.
00:53:48Adrian...
00:53:53I want full blood work, fetal monitoring, and get the OB-GYN down here.
00:53:59Sir, it's just a minor cough.
00:54:02I want to get a complete prenatal checkup.
00:54:04I've already called Dr. Reynolds.
00:54:06She'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:54:07So bossy.
00:54:09You know, some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:54:13One of those beach dates we used to have.
00:54:16You said I was the best.
00:54:20Thompson, call in the catering.
00:54:23Yeah, the one with the questions.
00:54:26Lila's been craving something.
00:54:30I didn't say those.
00:54:33The prenatal vitamins I researched should arrive shortly.
00:54:36They're custom formulated for a Lila flood type and genetic makeup.
00:54:46Everything's already being taken care of.
00:54:48You can defend him.
00:54:50If he touches you, Reagan.
00:54:52I'll be there.
00:54:55I didn't mean to.
00:55:04Vivian was sick.
00:55:06I gave her a key and let her rest at our place.
00:55:09Overworked, they say.
00:55:11I'm cleaning up your company's mess.
00:55:14I have meetings.
00:55:16Well, cancel them.
00:55:18You're going to take care of her now.
00:55:20No negotiation.
00:55:22Well, either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you.
00:55:26Or I'll call at an emergency board meeting.
00:55:34You 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.
00:55:47Adrian, we could be that again.
00:55:53Whatever game you're playing here, it won't work.
00:55:59Get out.
00:56:01I don't want my fiancee seeing you here.
00:56:04Maybe I was wrong.
00:56:06I should have trusted him.
00:56:08I should have given him a chance to explain.
00:56:13I guess some things never change.
00:56:15I guess some things never change.
