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...
00:04:39Harvard 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, I 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.
00:05:12Good.
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.
00:10:33No.
00:10:34The board is getting impatient.
00:10:37Have you considered the arrangement that I suggested?
00:10:40I have my own plans.
00:10:41Hey, if you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an error, forget it.
00:10:49The crowfoot name means something. I won't have it tainted by...
00:10:54I've already chosen my fiancée. What? I will talk about it again.
00:11:00I'm sorry. Did you just promote me from surrogate to fiancée?
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. You'll stay at my house during the pregnancy.
00:11:31Okay. What about after?
00:11:34We'll arrange an amicable split.
00:11:36Continue co-parenting. I'll provide additional compensation for the complexity.
00:11:41No, the original match is fine. It's just...
00:11:46I do need it soon.
00:11:50So...
00:11:52So...
00:12:20Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:12:23We were hiding.
00:12:48My whole apartment could fit in his 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.
00:13:15You should know better.
00:13:16This is my family's home.
00:13:21You were so mad last time I saw you.
00:13:24Now 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.
00:13:42This is what you really came in for.
00:13:45Right?
00:13:49Uncle!
00:13:51What are you doing?
00:13:52Take your filthy hands off of my fiancee.
00:13:58Fiancee?
00:13:59Uncle?
00:14:04Fiancee?
00:14:05No 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 fiancee.
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.
00:14:49I just...
00:14:53Ethan's your nephew?
00:14:54And he's your...
00:14:58Well...
00:14:59He may have been kind of...
00:15:01My boyfriend.
00:15:03Ex!
00:15:04Ex-boyfriend.
00:15:06Ex-extremely.
00:15:07Ex.
00:15:08I see.
00:15:10Thompson will bring your things up shortly.
00:15:12Thanks.
00:15:14Um...
00:15:15Where will I be staying?
00:15:16Here.
00:15:23What?
00:15:24Unless 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.
00:15:46With that.
00:16:15Good point.
00:16:16To attend to discuss our future plans with the board members, sir
00:16:24Okay
00:16:28Jesus Christ, okay. Yeah, I'm fine. Continue. Okay, so the meeting Singapore
00:16:44Lila, stay on your side
00:16:52By the wake up
00:17:07Lila
00:17:08Lila
00:17:29Lila
00:17:42Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:17:47Okay, maintain control.
00:17:53Oh, that's cold.
00:17:56That's cold.
00:18:07Sorry, didn't see you.
00:18:10It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:15Ah, my brother's mysterious fiance.
00:18:20Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:22Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:35Tell me, dear, how did you meet Adrian?
00:18:41Through mutual friends.
00:18:43Really?
00:18:45Mutual 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.
00:18:59I'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.
00:19:15Well then, next weekend is our family dinner.
00:19:20You, as Adrian's fiance, would be expected to attend.
00:19:26I'd be honored.
00:19:27Wonderful.
00:19:30I'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.
00:19:57Let me just get my stuff out of your way.
00:20:02Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
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!
00:20:22How 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!
00:20:36Mr. 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.
00:20:47I 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.
00:21:03Lala, 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 song.
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, I won't let the words get to me.
00:21:29I promise.
00:21:38Lala, what happened?
00:21:41What should I do?
00:21:54How's the happy couple today?
00:22:03Well, this is awkward.
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.
00:22:25Here's that.
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.
00:22:47How do we do this?
00:22:48What equipment do we need?
00:22:49No need.
00:22:50Just head to the collection room and use your hand.
00:22:53And the cake.
00:23:15And pretend she's not right out the door.
00:23:21Mr. Crawford, are you all right in there?
00:23:26I'm fine.
00:23:28I just, uh, need some assistance.
00:23:33Oh, do you need help?
00:23:34What? No, wait. I didn't mean...
00:23:36Are you sure? I can come in there.
00:23:40Um.
00:23:45Okay.
00:23:47Come in.
00:23:47Come in.
00:24:00So, do you want to help?
00:24:01Yeah, what can I?
00:24:04Oh, my God.

00:39:03Have you?
00:39:06Why?
00:39:06You seem to care a lot about him.
00:39:09No, it's not like that.
00:39:11Just get some rest.
00:39:13You had a rough day.
00:39:14Why did you choose to believe me about Ethan?
00:39:17Just...
00:39:19Just...
00:39:20I know you're not like that.
00:39:24Just get some rest.
00:39:26Make yourself a home.
00:39:27Anything you need, anything you want, I'll be around.
00:39:30Whatever I want?
00:39:48What in the...
00:39:50What are you doing?
00:39:52This is junk food.
00:39:55Like, these have zero nutritional value.
00:39:58You can't take those.
00:40:00The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:02The baby wants chocolate.
00:40:04And chips.
00:40:05And chips.
00:40:06And ice cream.
00:40:07You wouldn't deny anyone.
00:40:10I've been doing research into optimal pregnancy nutrition, okay?
00:40:14Week by week, what you should be having every day.
00:40:16I've got a meal plan, breakfast, lunch...
00:40:18Okay, okay.
00:40:18Uh, how about a compromise?
00:40:22One treat per day.
00:40:23Half a treat.
00:40:25Three quarters?
00:40:25Two quarters?
00:40:35Congratulations.
00:40:37The feet have been stable and developing perfectly.
00:40:40Really?
00:40:45Everything looks wonderful.
00:40:47Now that we are in a stable period,
00:40:49I would like to discuss some prenatal care.
00:40:54Okay.
00:40:56Lie down.
00:40:57Yeah.
00:40:58I got it.
00:41:00I can do it myself.
00:41:05Maybe you should call the doctor.
00:41:08Yeah.
00:41:09Yeah, Dr. Anderson.
00:41:11Yeah, we're ready.
00:41:12I'm putting you on speaker.
00:41:16First, remove the clothes.
00:41:21Now, exposing your legs.
00:41:26Apply the oil and gently massage her muscles with your palm.
00:41:42You know, I'm actually feeling kind of sick.
00:41:47So, why don't we try this again tomorrow?
00:41:50And, um, I'm gonna go.
00:41:55I'm gonna go.
00:41:59Uh, sorry, Dr. Anderson.
00:42:01We might have to try this again sometime.
00:42:03Yeah, thank you.
00:42:05Bye.
00:42:16The Charity Gala isn't a test.
00:42:19Your dad requests specifically that I attend.
00:42:22And you look perfect.
00:42:35Just be yourself.
00:42:37Just be yourself.
00:42:50Adrian!
00:42:51It's been so long.
00:42:55You look exactly the same.
00:43:03You look exactly the same.
00:43:07And you must be the fiancé.
00:43:10I'm so pleased.
00:43:11Adrian's finally found someone after all this time.
00:43:15That's very sweet.
00:43:17I'm sorry, you are...
00:43:18Just someone who wants Adrian's happiness.
00:43:22More than anything.
00:43:26Oh, my God.
00:43:29You two are finally back together.
00:43:30Everyone, look who is here.
00:43:33The golden couple.
00:43:35I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged.
00:43:39I knew.
00:43:40It must be you, Vivian.
00:43:42It's a perfect match.
00:43:44Just like a harvard.
00:43:46Where's your wedding?
00:43:54Actually, I'd like everyone to meet my fiancé.
00:43:58Lila Reid.
00:43:59We're expecting our first child.
00:44:01And yes, you're all invited to the wedding.
00:44:08She's pregnant?
00:44:11I'm so sorry.
00:44:13I just assumed.
00:44:15My congratulations to you.
00:44:18I want to talk to you.
00:44:20Marginally black.
00:44:30They could be so judgmental, can't they?
00:44:33Don't take it personally, dear.
00:44:42I do look like the perfect couple.
00:44:51Drinking.
00:44:53I thought you were pregnant.
00:44:56That's none of your business.
00:44:58Do you even know the true Adrian?
00:45:01I tell you, he's someone who cares a lot about love.
00:45:04What do you want?
00:45:07Look.
00:45:11Are they the perfect couple?
00:45:13You know, he'd do anything for her.
00:45:15Even save her from the pains of childbirth.
00:45:21Yeah.
00:45:22They've been real happy ever since she got back.
00:45:28Get it now, don't you?
00:45:31He's just using you to have a baby so that she doesn't have to.
00:45:35You're so naive.
00:45:39So I'm just a tool to have a baby?
00:45:49I don't want my fiance thinking there's anything between them.
00:46:06What do you think you're doing?
00:46:08You're pregnant.
00:46:10Why are you drinking?
00:46:11Why do you care?
00:46:13It's soda, okay?
00:46:15I know what I'm doing.
00:46:24What happened back there?
00:46:26Talk to me.
00:46:27Lila, I'm worried.
00:46:29What, so you'll talk to Ethan but not me?
00:46:32When you were having such a lovely chat with your girlfriend back there,
00:46:36did you even notice I was there?
00:46:42Lila, I'm worried about you.
00:46:45Worried about me?
00:46:46Or worried about your baby?
00:46:51Worried about me?
00:46:52Or worried about your baby?
00:46:54What's that supposed to mean, babe?
00:46:55You know, is that why you've been so nice to me?
00:46:57All of a sudden, giving me snacks and being protected?
00:47:00What, because of carrying your child?
00:47:02Lila, why are you acting so weird since yesterday?
00:47:04Did you date Vivian?
00:47:06Yes.
00:47:06And now she wants to get back together with you?
00:47:08Yes.
00:47:09So what, am I just some replacement for her?
00:47:11Is that why you were looking for a surrogate?
00:47:13Yes, I wanted a surrogate, but it wasn't for Vivian.
00:47:16No, you know what, I get it.
00:47:18Follow the contract, have your baby.
00:47:20The phone calls for me
00:47:23The phone calls for me
00:47:24Thompson
00:47:25Sir, sorry to bother you at night.
00:47:27The Singapore merger is falling apart.
00:47:29We need you here immediately.
00:47:30I'm in the middle of something, I can't...
00:47:33The board is threatening to pull out.
00:47:37Okay, I'll be there
00:47:41Isla
00:47:42We need to talk about this
00:47:45As soon as I get back
00:47:47Sure, business first
00:47:54Sir, there have been some complications
00:47:57Explain
00:47:57Well, during your absence Ethan has been meeting with board members
00:48:00Suggesting that your sudden marriage plans may indicate that you're unstable to run the company
00:48:03Sir
00:48:04Several executives are questioning if somebody so personally invested could run the company
00:48:11Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing
00:48:23My personal life
00:48:24Your sudden absence
00:48:25Let me be very clear about something
00:48:28This company had a 40% profit loss before I took over
00:48:33Within three years, I tripled our market share
00:48:36Every major merger
00:48:38Every successful acquisition, every stock surge, my strategies
00:48:42My execution
00:48:48So yes, I'm getting married
00:48:52And yes, I took some time off
00:48:54But no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment
00:48:59Or my capability
00:49:01Because without me
00:49:03There wouldn't even be a company to inherit
00:49:06So now
00:49:08Shall we discuss the merger?
00:49:29Get out
00:49:30Lila
00:49:31Lila, there's nothing between me and Vivian
00:49:33The surrogacy is not for her
00:49:36I know what I saw
00:49:37Just get out
00:49:39Lila, there's nothing between me and Vivian
00:50:04Adrian
00:50:07What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:50:11I'm doing my job
00:50:12I'm doing my job
00:50:13Your job is to follow the family's strategy
00:50:16Ever since she came into your life
00:50:18You've been ruining
00:50:19You've been undermining everything that we built
00:50:22Leave Lila 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
00:50:31We just need to borrow him for a moment
00:50:34Business matters
00:50:35Who wouldn't understand?
00:50:39She's nothing but a brute mare
00:50:42Once she delivers
00:50:43You pay her off
00:50:44And 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
00:50:57Tomorrow
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
00:51:06She can stay at home with just that
00:51:09That's all she's good for
00:51:12Get out!
00:51:13Both of you!
00:51:14Get at you
00:51:16If you ever speak about my wife like that again
00:51:18I swear I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground
00:51:22Before I let either of you touch it
00:51:26Adrian
00:51:26Be reasonable
00:51:28She's worth a thousand up here
00:51:31Tomorrow, 9am
00:51:33Vivian starts
00:51:35No discussion
00:51:36Is that all?
00:51:39For now
00:51:39Don't disappoint me again
00:51:53Stop it! Stop checking!
00:51:56I was independent before him
00:51:58I didn't need someone to
00:52:00Create a meal plan for me
00:52:02Or hold me while I sleep
00:52:07No
00:52:09I'm not gonna be that girl
00:52:15I can work on my own
00:52:17You know, I don't need his
00:52:21Arrangements or his
00:52:22Dental care
00:52:24Just 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
00:52:42And trick her back to me
00:52:43Lila!
00:52:46I'm fine
00:52:46You're not fine
00:52:47Hospital
00:52:49Now
00:52:50Put me down
00:52:51Put me down
00:52:57Thank you
00:52:59For bringing me here
00:53:00I know we've had our differences
00:53:04I'm like
00:53:05Now 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
00:53:20But
00:53:21Seeing the way he treats you
00:53:22It's tearing me apart
00:53:28Ethan
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
00:53:44Adrian
00:53:45I'll get the doctor
00:53:47Adrian
00:53:53I want full blood work
00:53:54Fetal monitoring
00:53:55And get the OBGYN down here
00:53:59Sir, it's just a minor cough
00:54:02I want to get a complete prenatal checkup
00:54:05I've already called Dr. Reynolds
00:54:06She'll be here in 10 minutes
00:54:07So bossy
00:54:09No, 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 of the questions
00:54:26Lila's been craving something
00:54:28Median fatty cut
00:54:30No, what's up?
00:54:31I didn't say those
00:54:32The prenatal vitamins I researched should arrive shortly
00:54:36They're custom formulated for Lila flood type and genetic take up
00:54:46Everything's already being taken care of
00:54:47You can defend him
00:54:49If he touches you, Reagan
00:54:52I'll be there
00:54:55I didn't mean to
00:54:56Hello?
00:54:57But
00:55:04Vivian was sick
00:55:05I 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
00:55:13I 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
00:55:23You show proper respect to the woman I chose for you
00:55:26Or I'll call 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
00:55:55It won't work
00:55:59Get out
00:56:01I don't want my fiance 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
00:56:32Laila
00:56:33Hi, Dad
00:56:39Your head
00:56:40It's nothing
00:56:44Dad, I have something I want to tell you
00:56:49I'm having a baby
00:56:51You're going to be a grandpa
00:56:53Is that one of Ethan's boys?
00:56:55No, not him
00:56:56Then who?
00:56:58It doesn't matter
00:56:59Dad, look
00:57:01What really matters is that
00:57:02This is my baby
00:57:04And I am going to love them
00:57:07Just like you love me
00:57:09Oh, sweetheart
00:57:10I'm so sorry
00:57:12I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you
00:57:14If I was healthier
00:57:16If I could work
00:57:17Dad, it's okay
00:57:19The hospital bills
00:57:21Where are you going to get the money from?
00:57:23How are you going to pay for them?
00:57:26Please tell me you didn't sell yourself to someone
00:57:29No, Dad
00:57:30It isn't like that
00:57:30Did someone take advantage of you?
00:57:33My little girl
00:57:35Pregnant and alone
00:57:38She's not alone
00:57:43Adrian
00:57:44Mr. Reid
00:57:46I'm Adrian Crawford
00:57:48I'm the father of the child
00:57:50Not just the father
00:57:52I'm the man who's going to spend the rest of his life
00:57:54Making sure that your daughter
00:57:56And our child
00:57:57Have everything they deserve
00:57:59Pretty words from a rich man
00:58:02Not words
00:58:04Facts
00:58:05I've already arranged for you to be transferred to a private medical facility
00:58:09Full treatment plan
00:58:10The very best specialists
00:58:12Adrian
00:58:13And I promise you this
00:58:16Every morning
00:58:17Your daughter will wake up knowing that she's cherished
00:58:21Every decision I make
00:58:22Every step I take
00:58:24Will be to ensure her happiness
00:58:28You really mean that, don't you?
00:58:30Yes, I do
00:58:33Well
00:58:35Maybe I don't have to worry so much anymore
00:58:42Thank you
00:58:45Saying all that, I know you were just trying to make my dad feel better
00:58:48But
00:58:49I wasn't just trying to do anything
00:58:53Everything I said was true
00:58:55I thought you were just worried about me breaking the contract
00:59:00I think 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
00:59:10Yes, we had a contract
00:59:13But I realized you've become everything
00:59:15Not my surrogate
00:59:18Not my pretend fiancé
00:59:24If you're willing
00:59:26Would you like to forget the contract
00:59:28And become
00:59:29My real wife
00:59:39I'm being in you
00:59:41Did she come and see you?
00:59:44Did she hurt you?
00:59:45No
00:59:46Just
00:59:48Was it she or Trevella?
00:59:50I saw you taking care of her
00:59:51What?
00:59:53I have nothing to do with her anymore
00:59:54Yes, my father asked her over
00:59:57But I kicked her out
00:59:58I haven't had feelings for her since we broke up
01:00:02Really?
01:00:10I'm not letting you go
01:00:13Not ever
01:00:14I think we're past trying to hide who we are
01:00:22Surrogacy?
01:00:23Contract marriage?
01:00:26No, this is perfect
01:00:31What was so urgent?
01:00:33I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you
01:00:36If this is about Lila and my uncle
01:00:39It's about how she really got pregnant
01:00:41Your perfect uncle
01:00:43He hired her
01:00:44She's just a surrogate
01:00:46The whole engagement is a lie
01:00:49A contract?
01:00:54Oh, the board would love to hear about this
01:00:58Next week's family meeting
01:00:59We reveal everything
01:01:01Until then
01:01:03We need to find some evidence
01:01:07And once he's ruined
01:01:08I'll comfort him
01:01:10Help him rebuild, of course
01:01:13Show him who really belongs by his side
01:01:15And Lila?
01:01:17Once the truth's out
01:01:18She'll be worthless to him
01:01:20You can have your little toy back
01:01:35Thankfully, Mr. Crawford gave me the key
01:01:52Surrogately moved
01:01:56Wonderful history
01:01:58There must be some evidence somewhere
01:02:04Adrian's always so organized
01:02:07Where are the important documents?
01:02:21Adrian?
01:02:22Is that you?
01:02:31Shit!
01:02:37Vivian!
01:02:39Oh, Adrian!
01:02:41What are you doing here?
01:02:43I was just looking for you
01:02:46You know, Adrian
01:02:47If it's an heir you want
01:02:50You can make one right now
01:02:53Poor Lila doesn't have to know
01:02:55She's already asleep
01:02:57It'll be our little
01:02:59Secret
01:03:02Here
01:03:03In the hallway
01:03:04Wherever you want, darling
01:03:06What if someone sees us?
01:03:09Scared
01:03:09I know someone
01:03:13Private
01:03:19Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:03:25Adrian?
01:03:26Adrian!
01:03:28Enjoy the storage closet!
01:03:30Adrian!
01:03:46How'd it go?
01:03:47Just drive
01:03:48Guess as much
01:03:49Don't worry
01:03:50I've got a new plan now
01:03:53Dr. Anderson will tell us
01:03:55If there's a surrogate involved
01:03:59Thank you
01:03:59Everything looks perfect
01:04:01The baby is developing perfectly
01:04:03Really?
01:04:04Really
01:04:04You have officially entered the stable station
01:04:07As long as you are gentle
01:04:09Intimacy is perfectly safe
01:04:15Listen to your buddies and then
01:04:17Thanks, thanks doc
01:04:18Thanks
01:04:29Mr. Anderson
01:04:33Let's talk about the scene
01:04:35Sinclair's
01:04:37Arrangement
01:04:37Was it a contract surrogacy?
01:04:40Mr. Herringham
01:04:41I can't discuss the patient information
01:04:45I hear the hospital is opening up a new wing
01:04:48It'd be a shame if your name
01:04:51Mysteriously
01:04:53Disappeared
01:04:53In the best
01:04:55Won't it?
01:04:58Shall we talk about that arrangement now?
01:05:12Oh my god
01:05:22Surrogacy?
01:05:24Surrogacy?
01:05:26Surrogacy?
01:05:27Surrogacy?
01:05:28Five generations
01:05:29Four for dignity
01:05:31All trashed by a tabloid scandal
01:05:36A surrogacy?
01:05:37Surrogacy?
01:05:38You used a surrogacy
01:05:39To gain the inheritance?
01:05:41If that's what you wanted, Adrian
01:05:43Why didn't you just say it?
01:05:45Why drag the family's name through the mud?
01:05:48This isn't true
01:05:50It's nothing but a malicious rumor
01:05:52Don't believe everything you see in the news
01:05:56Lila and I
01:05:57We're in love
01:06:02Your lives stop here, uncle
01:06:08Grandfather
01:06:08The files
01:06:09Proving their contract
01:06:11Lila isn't his fiance
01:06:13She's just a surrogate
01:06:16Who got hired to bear an heir
01:06:19Medical files
01:06:21From Crawford Fertility Center
01:06:23They show Ms. Reed
01:06:26Undergoing IVF treatment
01:06:28And was generously compensated
01:06:31A surrogate
01:06:33How vulgar
01:06:35You dare deceive me with this filth?
01:06:38Dragging the Crawford name through the mud?
01:06:41I'll deal with it
01:06:43All right
01:06:44How?
01:06:45God knows what else you scheme
01:06:49Actually
01:06:49I might have a solution
01:06:52Replace Adrian's fiance
01:06:54With me
01:06:56Let Lila take the fall in the media
01:06:59She's just a desperate gold digger
01:07:01Who wants to bear an heir
01:07:02Just so she can become queen
01:07:05Shut your mouth
01:07:10Fine
01:07:13Marry Vivian now
01:07:14Or you give up your shares
01:07:16And get out
01:07:18Adrian
01:07:18I always get the man you want
01:07:24Mother, if he does this
01:07:26He could still get inheritance
01:07:27No rush
01:07:29Let's get them into trouble
01:07:32He's fought too hard to lose everything now
01:07:36He'll do it
01:07:38I'll give it all up
01:07:40The company
01:07:42My inheritance
01:07:45Everything
01:07:47But not Lila
01:07:50Not my wife
01:07:52The only woman I've ever loved
01:07:53And we're getting married
01:07:56Officially
01:07:58Publicly
01:08:09Sign it
01:08:10You want to give up everything for her
01:08:12Give up your inheritance
01:08:14Everything goes to Eden
01:08:18Adrian
01:08:18You're giving up your inheritance just for her?
01:08:22Are you insane?
01:08:24I would never choose anything over my wife
01:08:26Not ever
01:08:28And I would never choose you
01:08:30You'll regret this
01:08:35Go on
01:08:37Sign this
01:08:38Walk away from your legacy
01:08:40So you've had this planned all along?
01:08:49You need to wait
01:08:52Don't look
01:08:54I'm not worth giving up your future
01:08:57You are my future
01:08:59You might everything
01:09:02You are natural
01:09:15Let's go
01:09:26Adrian
01:09:28Hey, what's wrong?
01:09:31Don't tell me you only love me for my CEO status and my money
01:09:34No
01:09:34I can make more money
01:09:37You know
01:09:37I'm kind of excited to be your sugar mommy
01:09:39I've always wanted sugar mommy
01:09:43Wait, yeah
01:09:43I was going to grab somebody from the car
01:09:56What are you doing here?
01:09:58Why?
01:09:59What does she have that I don't?
01:10:01Why do you always choose her?
01:10:03It's simple
01:10:04I love her
01:10:07Not you
01:10:07Adrian, please
01:10:09I was wrong
01:10:10I was wrong
01:10:10I was wrong
01:10:11I was wrong
01:10:13I was wrong
01:10:16I was wrong
01:10:17I was wrong
01:10:17I was wrong
01:10:21I was wrong
01:10:21I was wrong
01:10:23I was wrong
01:10:23I was wrong
01:10:26I was wrong
01:10:27I was wrong
01:10:27I was wrong
01:10:32I was wrong
01:10:32I was wrong
01:10:41Hey.
01:10:43Hi.
01:10:45Beautiful.
01:10:50Yeah.
01:10:52It is.
01:11:00Lilo, were you?
01:11:02Yes.
01:11:03Of course.
01:11:14When did you get this?
01:11:17Back when I realized I'd give up everything for you.
01:11:36How's it going?
01:11:38Good.
01:11:39Just finished my last sketch.
01:11:41Your sugar mommy just landed another big deal.
01:11:50Yeah?
01:11:51Adrian, come back to the Crawford family.
01:11:55Come back to your position and your inheritance.
01:12:04What do you mean you're canceling the contract?
01:12:06We've been partners for ten years.
01:12:12Grandfather, no. Please don't call Adrian.
01:12:17So you want me to come back?
01:12:20I have to ask my wife.
01:12:24What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:12:30First order of business today.
01:12:34What is this?
01:12:35Starting without me.
01:12:37Perfect timing.
01:12:38I was just announcing your termination.
01:12:41The company crisis last month turns out wasn't an accident.
01:12:46Ethan deliberately sabotaged every deal.
01:12:49There's no proof.
01:12:50You misappropriated partnership funds to indulge in your own personal affairs.
01:12:55Bad investments, shady deals, and reckless spending have led us to financial setbacks and operational setbacks.
01:13:05And it's all documented right here.
01:13:10The lawsuit's already been filed.
01:13:13What?
01:13:14You actually did this?
01:13:16No, Grandpa.
01:13:17He's lying.
01:13:18It's all a lie.
01:13:21Dad, either you let me handle this my way, or I can still walk.
01:13:30Adrian.
01:13:37Mr. Crawford, the vote for new director.
01:13:43Competence is everything.
01:13:46I'm getting old, and from now on, Adrian will handle everything.
01:13:53No.
01:13:54Don't listen to him.
01:13:56Don't listen to him.
01:13:56Please.
01:13:57You're making a mistake.
01:13:59Where are you going?
01:14:02My company, you hear that?
01:14:04My fucking company.
01:14:05Come back.
01:14:10The baby's asleep.
01:14:13I guess that means I get you all to myself.
01:14:17Don't distract me.
01:14:19I'm almost finished.
01:14:21I'm designing my wedding dress.
