Short filmTranscript
00:06Three years I've loved him, tonight I'll give him all of me.
00:10My heart, my body, my future, we'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:56Three years of my life that I've wasted on.
01:01Oh my god, I'm such an idiot, I actually thought about having a baby with you.
01:06A baby?
01:09You didn't quit out for three years, and now you want to talk about playing mommy?
01:15If you are ready to finally spread those legs, you could probably learn a thing to do from these lovely
01:20ladies.
01:36I don't need a man to have my dreams come true.
01:40One sperm donor, one appointment, and I'll have my own baby.
01:52Sir, six months to produce an error, I lose control of Crawford Industries.
01:57To my sister and her little monster.
02:00Sir, the surrogate candidates are fully vetted.
02:04All Ivy League graduates, and...
02:06I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
02:08Find me someone who knows their place.
02:10And they'll disappear after delivery.
02:23Oh my god.
02:24No, no, no, no, no.
02:25I think I got almost all of them.
02:28Are you here for the interview?
02:29Yes, I am.
02:30Alright, let's get started.
02:34I'm going to need a complete medical history, including any family genetic disorders.
02:39Do you exercise regularly?
02:41You look susceptible.
02:45Do you have any idea who I am?
02:47I'm just trying to be thorough.
02:49We're talking about a baby coming into this world.
02:52God, why are all attractive men so self-involved?
02:57I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
02:58I still need to know your reproductive history and all of your sexual partners in the last
03:02next month.
03:03Sir, I am so sorry.
03:05I can ask her to leave.
03:06Thompson, leave us.
03:10Why'd you ask him to leave?
03:12Chatsworth MBA.
03:13Top of class.
03:14No family history of genetic disorders.
03:16I work out five times a week.
03:18As for intimate matters, I assure you performance is not an issue.
03:23Are you willing to share yours?
03:24Of course, yeah.
03:28I am perfectly healthy as well.
03:30No genetic issues.
03:32I go to regular checkups.
03:33I even started taking prenatal vitamins.
03:36You know, I think that you're the perfect match.
03:40Great.
03:41Now concerning compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
03:45I was thinking 800.
03:47I was expecting the fee to be significantly higher.
03:49I know it's not very much, but I figured because of the quality, I could help out with other
03:55things like paperwork or something.
03:58Thompson, bring in the contracts.
04:02Take your time reviewing.
04:03One key point.
04:05After the birth, the child stays with me.
04:08You want to keep my baby?
04:13You want to keep my baby?
04:15Are you insane?
04:17Is this some kind of sick joke?
04:19That's standard procedure for surrogacy agreements.
04:22Surrogacy?
04:22What surrogacy?
04:23The position you're interviewing for.
04:25Interview?
04:26I came here to buy sperm.
04:28You came here to what?
04:30Oh my God.
04:33I thought you were a donor.
04:35That's why I was asking all of those questions about your qualifications.
04:39I'm so sorry for all the misunderstandings.
04:42I should probably go.
04:44Wait.
04:46A million dollars.
04:48Preparing my child.
04:50I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
04:53Not someone else's.
04:56Next.
05:01Hello?
05:02Ms. Reed, your father.
05:04You need to come now.
05:05I will be right there.
05:12Doctor, my father, how is he?
05:15Well, the cancer has spread aggressively.
05:18Without immediate treatment.
05:19And no, then treat him.
05:20Do whatever it takes, please.
05:22Okay, but the full course of treatment could cost as much as a million dollars.
05:27One million dollars.
05:31Okay, I could take out a loan or...
05:43Is this the last batch?
05:45Uh, yes, sir.
05:46All of them want the Crawford name.
05:48None of them are qualified.
05:50She was refreshing.
05:53No pretense.
05:55No schemes.
05:56Uh, sir, she was not here for the surrogacy.
05:59Ugh.
06:00Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job, Thompson.
06:11Hello?
06:13Hello?
06:15I've been thinking.
06:19I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
06:22What kind of modification?
06:23Joint custody.
06:25You wouldn't just be carrying the child, you'd be its mother.
06:29Why would you agree to do that?
06:31You're direct.
06:32Honest.
06:33No hidden agendas.
06:35Qualities I want in my child's mother.
06:37So you're saying that I could really be a part of the baby's life?
06:40Yes.
06:41But understand this clearly.
06:43We'd be parents.
06:45Nothing more.
06:46No emotional entanglements.
06:49No romantic expectations.
06:50Oh, please.
06:52Don't flatter yourself.
06:54God, rich people and their egos.
06:59Father.
07:00The board is getting impatient.
07:02I have my own plans.
07:04Adrian, if you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
07:09I've already found my fiancé.
07:11Your what?
07:13We'll discuss this at dinner.
07:18Um, did you just promote me from surrogate to fiancé?
07:25Correct me if I'm wrong, but you just finished saying something about nothing more than parents.
07:31Certain situations require adaptation.
07:34Is that CEO speak for I changed my mind?
07:37We need a convincing story.
07:39You'll stay at my house during the pregnancy.
07:42And what about after the baby's born?
07:45We'll arrange for an amicable separation.
07:48Continue co-parenting.
08:03Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
08:24I think my entire apartment could fit inside this entry away.
08:29Well, well.
08:32You missed me so much you tracked me down.
08:37Missed me so much you tracked me down.
08:39You followed me here like a lost puppy.
08:42Followed?
08:43What are you doing here?
08:46Sweetheart, this is my family's house.
08:49I'm sure you know that.
08:52You never let me have sex with you.
08:54I'll look at you now, sneaking into my house.
08:57Finally realize what you missed.
08:58Get your hands off me!
09:00Playing hard to get was cute before, but now, we both know what you're giving.
09:09Uncle, what?
09:10What's your filthy hands off my fiancé?
09:13What's your fiancé?
09:15Uncle?
09:17Uncle?
09:19No, no, no, no.
09:20She cannot be your fiancé.
09:21She's just a...
09:22What's your mouth?
09:22What's your future aunt you're talking about?
09:25This?
09:25This is crazy.
09:27I mean, you can't be serious.
09:29You know what's going on.
09:30I won't repeat myself.
09:31Stay away from my fiancé.
09:32One more word and you can kiss your trust phone.
09:34Goodbye.
09:44Are you all right?
09:48Yeah.
09:49I'm fine.
09:51So, Ethan is your nephew.
09:55And he's your...
09:57Um, he was my boyfriend.
09:59He was my ex-boyfriend.
10:00Ex.
10:01Very ex.
10:03I see you.
10:05Well, Thompson will be up shortly with your bags.
10:09So, which bedroom am I going to be staying in?
10:14Here.
10:15What?
10:36That's the line.
10:37Don't cross it.
10:38Heather.
10:39Of course.
10:40Good.
10:40Good.
10:41Good.
10:57See?
10:59My brilliant plan worked.
11:03Wait, how did this happen?
11:07Oh, uh, sir, are you okay?
11:10Fine, continue.
11:23Stay on your side.
11:34Lila, wake up.
11:40Lila, please.
11:55Oh, sorry, dear. Didn't see you there. Hard to notice the hell.
12:05If it isn't my brother's mysterious fiancée.
12:10Mrs. Crawford?
12:11No, call me Catherine.
12:13We are family, apparently.
12:15Tell me again, how did you and Adrienne meet?
12:18We met through mutual friends.
12:21Mutual friends? Oh, honey.
12:24What friend of Adrienne's could possibly run in your social circles?
12:28Unless this was more of a business arrangement.
12:32I'm sorry?
12:32A girl in your position.
12:35Surely there was some negotiation involved.
12:38The only negotiation was whether I would keep my last name or take his.
12:42Next weekend is our family dinner.
12:45As Adrienne's fiancée, your presence is required.
12:48Yeah, I'd be honored.
12:50Perfect.
12:51I'm sure you'll find something more appropriate to wear.
13:04Hi, Daddy.
13:06How are you feeling?
13:08Well, you know, I've had better days.
13:11How's my baby doing?
13:13What are you working on there?
13:16Um...
13:16It's a dress.
13:17I have to go to this fancy dinner for my new job and I needed to make one.
13:22Huh.
13:23Let me see.
13:24And...
13:25It's finished.
13:26Wow.
13:27But that...
13:28That's just beautiful.
13:31Oh, wow.
13:33Meds are making me a little woozy.
13:35I think I better get some rest.
13:36Of course.
13:37Okay.
13:38I will let you sleep.
13:40Yeah.
13:41I love you.
13:42I love you.
13:53I love you.
13:54I love you so much, Daddy.
13:56I'll be strong for you, Daddy.
13:57I promise.
13:58Naila, what happened?
14:02What should I do?
14:06How was my happy couple today?
14:10all right then let's see just a small pinch that's not small that's not small at all

16:22well technically the hormone shots were a part of our agreement
16:26the resulting pain is a work-related issue so
16:30i have a duty of care
16:32yeah
16:33yeah
16:34yeah
16:36yeah
16:36yeah
16:47yeah
16:49yeah
17:22Hmm, purely professional, huh?
17:30Wait, but Adrian, about this weekend...
17:34There's an emergency in Atlanta. The merger's falling apart.
17:36Thompson, get the jet ready.
17:38Wait, but your family, they invite me to go to dinner.
17:43Okay, I can deal with this myself.
17:49I guess we can't expect punctuality from someone who's probably never owned a proper watch in her life.
17:55I introduced him to the Thompsoners, the senator's daughter.
17:59Why pick this gold digger from God knows where?
18:02What did you say she did again, Ethan? Retail?
18:06Worse, she's a wannabe writer.
18:08She probably thought landing a proffer would get her best son's score.
18:12Well, at least I tried to be welcoming.
18:14Had the chef prepared a place at the table and everything.
18:17Although she probably would have had trouble figuring out which fork to use.
18:31I'm so sorry for my slight delay.
18:36Wow.
18:37Look at you, trying to dress the part.
18:40Looks like Adrian's credit card has gotten a good workout.
18:43Money can buy you designer clothes.
18:46Too bad it can't buy you braiding.
18:47Actually, I made this dress myself.
18:50A seamstress for a sister-in-law.
18:53At least you know who's going to be in Adrian Sox.
18:56I may not be born from privilege, but I was raised with someone from my family.
19:06That's what you call seducing your way into my family, huh?
19:09How much?
19:10What will it take to make you disappear?
19:13Name me a price.
19:14Do you want to know the difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford?
19:17I don't think that everything is a price tag.
19:19Excuse me.
19:34It's okay.
19:35Stay calm.
19:35You can do this.
19:39All dressed up for me, baby.
19:43I need to return to dinner.
19:45What's the rush?
19:46I mean, we're all family.
19:51Don't touch me.
19:53You used to like it when I touched you.
19:55Remember how you'd always say no?
19:56You need to let go of me, you bastard!
19:58Careful now.
20:00One screen and everyone at dinner finds out what kind of girl you really are.
20:04And our love history.
20:05Now, where were we?
20:13Is everything all right, dear?
20:14You look a little bluster.
20:18As I was saying, the Wilson merger was moving on the place.
20:23Stop it!
20:26Something wrong, Miss Reed?
20:27No.
20:28I am.
20:33Enough.
20:34No class, no manners.
20:36I don't know what you did to seduce my son.
20:38But someone like you will never deserve a place in this family.
20:43Well, I...
20:47I'm the one who pursued her.
20:48I asked her to give you the chance.
20:51If anyone's unworthy of this relationship, it's me.
20:54You want to know how we met?
20:56She fell into my life.
20:57Papers flying everywhere.
20:59Cough is spilled.
21:00But unlike some people, she didn't care about my name or my money.
21:03I asked her to be with me.
21:05She said no.
21:06I said I was too controlling.
21:07She's the only woman who ever dared to stand up to me.
21:10That's exactly why I asked her to be my fiance.
21:15I thought you were in Atlanta.
21:16How did you get here?
21:20Uh, sir?
21:21Two things.
21:22Your sister has invited Mrs. Crawford to the family dinner.
21:25And the jet is ready.
21:26We can leave whenever you're ready.
21:28Cancel Atlanta.
21:29But, sir, what about the merger?
21:30Yes, sir.
21:33I thought you were in Atlanta.
21:35How did you get here?
21:36Some things are more important than business.
21:42It's a very touching story, Uncle.
21:44But either it's a complete lie, or she's playing both of us.
21:47What are you talking about?
21:49We've been dating for three years.
21:51I have pictures of us together.
21:53What?
21:53She probably planned this from the start.
21:55Dating me to get close to the family, and then setting her sights high on me.
21:59You may do it to a little.
22:00Face it, Uncle.
22:01You're just another rung and her ladder to the top.
22:04Isn't that right, Lila?
22:09That's for all the lies you just told.
22:12You filthy little...
22:14Adrian!
22:15How dare you hit my son!
22:18Lila!
22:21Where do you think you're going?
22:23We are not finished here!
22:25Yes, we are.
22:39I'm sorry.
22:40I should have never left you alone with them.
22:42Thank you for coming back, and for making up that beautiful story about us.
22:48Lila, your dress.
22:49What happened?
22:53As my fiancé, you have access to the family accounts.
22:57I want you to use them to buy yourself some clothes, whatever else you need.
23:01I didn't want to presume.
23:03You are not just a surrogate.
23:05My fiancé, act like one.
23:10Dr. Anderson?
23:12Mr. Crawford, the embryos are ready.
23:13We can proceed with implantation tomorrow morning.
23:16I see.
23:19Is something wrong with the embryos?
23:22Well, I was thinking maybe we could approach this matter from a more natural manner.
23:28Between husband and wife.
23:33What are your thoughts?
23:36I have a big procedure tomorrow, but we should get some rest.
23:45Good night.
23:46Good night.
23:55You look like a giant polar bear in that suit.
23:58You need to focus on the procedure.
24:01Try to relax, Miss Crawford.
24:04And...
24:06There.
24:09Congratulations to the Crawfords.
24:10You're now officially pregnant.
24:16Whoa.
24:18You know I can walk, right?
24:20Doctor's orders, complete rest.
24:21You seem more nervous than I am.
24:23I'm merely following medical protocol.
24:27Look at her.
24:28Acting like a princess.
24:30Yeah.
24:31Apparently last week, she was a waitress.
24:33And now, she has Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
24:59Sorry, dear.
25:00Didn't see you there.
25:04Adrien.
25:05Not cool.
25:07She's got a bit unstable there.
25:09You need someone to hold you up?
25:10Let me go!
25:11Why?
25:12You used to love spending time with me.
25:14I mean, we would spend hours in cafes.
25:16You would lean into me while reading your favorite...
25:17Did she?
25:20Did she?
25:21Get out.
25:24Oh, Adrien.
25:26What's wrong?
25:27My stomach, it hurts.
25:30Anything, anything happens to my fiancé or our child, I can't guarantee what I might do.
25:36What you want, we'll never have it.
25:39Never.
25:40Come on.
25:45Child.
25:47Three years, and she wouldn't let me touch her.
25:49And now she's carrying my uncle's child?
25:52You want a perfect little family?
25:54It's not gonna happen.
26:04Thompson, clear my schedule.
26:06Everything for the next month goes to Jack.
26:09Sir, what happened?
26:10Do you need my help?
26:12I can't help on this one.
26:13Just do what I say.
26:16You and Ethan have never gotten lonely, have you?
26:21Why?
26:23You seem very concerned about him.
26:26I just...
26:27Rest.
26:27You can do whatever makes you comfortable.
26:29Anything you want.
26:30Anything I want?
26:32Rest.
26:33We have a big day tomorrow.
26:48Congratulations.
26:49The fetus is stable.
26:50You're developing perfectly.
26:52Really?
26:54Everything looks wonderful.
26:55Now that you're in a stable period, I'm going to start recommending you do some prenatal exercise.
27:00What kind of exercise?
27:06Um, I don't think I can hold this pose for much longer.
27:10It's okay.
27:11I got you.
27:12It's all in the hips.
27:15I'm a ginger.
27:19This is very intimate.
27:23We are here to train.
27:24Let's do it properly.
27:27Good job.
27:29Good job.
27:41Gala isn't a test.
27:43I know, but as the school's largest donor, they specifically requested that you come.
27:48We look perfect.
28:01It's been yourself.
28:07Adrian, it's been too long.
28:10You look exactly the same.
28:16And you must be the fiance.
28:19I'm so pleased.
28:21Adrian finally found somebody.
28:23That's really nice.
28:25I'm sorry, who are you?
28:27Just someone who wants Adrian's happiness more than anything.
28:32Oh, my God.
28:33You two are finally back together.
28:36Everyone, look at me.
28:38The golden couple.
28:40I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged.
28:42I knew it had to be you, Vivian.
28:45The perfect match.
28:46Just like a chat sword.
28:49When's the wedding?
28:55Everyone, I'd like you all to meet my fiancee, Valerine.
28:59We're expecting our first child.
29:01And yes, you'll all be invited to the wedding.
29:04Oh, I'm so sorry.
29:05I just assumed.
29:07Congratulations to both of you.
29:10Adrian Crawford in a complete end.
29:13How did she do that?
29:15Oh, my God.
29:16She's pregnant.
29:17Can you knock her out?
29:18Yeah.
29:20They can be so judgmental.
29:22Can't they?
29:23Don't take it personally.
29:25Dear.
29:33They do look like the perfect couple.
29:46Drinking?
29:47I thought you were pregnant.
29:50It's none of your business.
29:52You know, Uncle Adrian, he...
29:56He always has to win.
29:58Especially if I take something from him.
30:00What are you talking about?
30:06Perfect couple, huh?
30:08Yeah, that was until I took Vivian away from him.
30:11She fell madly in love with me.
30:14Ever since then, he always has to have what I want.
30:16He always has to win whatever I have.
30:19Like you.
30:20What you want, you'll never have it.
30:22You and your friend have never gotten along, have you?
30:27I love you.
30:29I love you.
30:29Do you not understand?
30:30Don't be so naive.
30:31You're just a tool for revenge.
30:39What do you think you're doing?
30:41You're pregnant.
30:43Why are you drinking?
30:44Oh, now you care?
30:45It's just soda.
30:46I know what I'm doing.
30:53What happened back there?
30:54Talk to me.
30:55Lila, I'm worried.
30:58So you'll talk to Ethan, but not to me.
31:00You do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
31:13The age is still warm.
31:16I wanted to apologize for last night.
31:19I was just worried about you.
31:22Worried about me or worried about your baby?
31:25What do you mean?
31:27Is that why you're being so nice to me?
31:29Making me breakfast, being protective.
31:33Is it all just for the baby's health?
31:35Lila, why have you been so weird since yesterday?
31:37Was Vivian your girlfriend?
31:39Yes.
31:41And then she got together with Ethan?
31:43Yes.
31:45So, I'm just...
31:47Vivian and I never...
31:53What is it?
31:54Sir, the Sigboard merger is falling apart.
31:57We need you here immediately.
31:59I'm in the middle of a...
32:00The board is threatening to pull out.
32:03I'll be right there.
32:04Can we discuss this later?
32:06I have to go.
32:06Of course.
32:07Business first.
32:08Lila, I...
32:09Just go.
32:19Sir.
32:20Sir.
32:21Sir.
32:22There have been some complications.
32:25Explain.
32:26In your absence, Ethan's been meeting with members of the board, suggesting that due to your
32:31sudden marriage plans, you might be showing erratic decision-making.
32:38And now certain executives believe that maybe someone so personally distracted isn't fit to inherit the company.
32:44Fascinating.
32:50Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing my personal life.
32:56Your sudden absence has caused many problems.
33:00Let me be very clear here.
33:02This company suffered 40% profit loss before I took over.
33:07Within the last three years, I tripled our market share.
33:10Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge.
33:16It's been because of my execution and my strategies.
33:21So yes, I'm getting married.
33:24But yeah, I took some time off.
33:27And no, no one in this room has the right to question my commitment or capability.
33:33Because without me, there wouldn't even be a company.
33:36Now, shall we discuss the merger?
33:39Mr. Crawford, I'm sorry about her in the air.
33:48What's she saying?
33:56It's beautiful.
33:58I love this one.
34:03Adrian!
34:04What the hell were you thinking in the board meeting yesterday?
34:07I was doing my job.
34:09Your job is to follow the family strategy.
34:12Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
34:16Leave Lila out of here.
34:18I don't need to sit here and listen to this.
34:20Yes, run along.
34:21The adults are talking business.
34:23I'll take care of this, dear.
34:25Don't worry, I'll bear it out.
34:27This girl is poison to the Crawford name.
34:30She's nothing but a broodmare.
34:32What she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
34:37She's nothing but a broodmare.
34:39What she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
34:42Adrian needs someone who knows this world.
34:45Someone like me.
34:46Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow.
34:49Non-negotiable.
34:50She'll be with you every day, just like before.
34:52Your little pet project can stay home ingesting.
34:55That's all she's good for.
35:08Get out!
35:09Book!
35:10How dare you!
35:11If you ever speak about my wife that way again, I'll burn Crawford Industries to the ground.
35:14Adrian, be reasonable!
35:16Enough!
35:179am tomorrow, Vivian starts.
35:19Defy me, I'll dilute this shit.
35:23Is that all?
35:28Hey, Lila!
35:29Lila!
35:31Are you okay?
35:33Don't worry.
35:35I got you.
35:41Thank you for helping me.
35:45I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciate it.
35:52You know, you used to look at me like that all the time.
35:55All sweet and sincere.
35:58Please don't.
36:00Why not, Lila?
36:02I mean, are we really so impossible?
36:04Ethan.
36:07No!
36:13Adrian!
36:13Adrian, stop!
36:14What are you doing?
36:15Protecting you.
36:16Look, he saved me.
36:18He helped me and he brought me here today after I fainted.
36:21So now you're defending him.
36:22I'm defending the truth.
36:25Sometimes people can surprise you.
36:27I see.
36:29Adrian.
36:30I'll call the doctor.
36:31Adrian.
36:37I want a full blood panel.
36:39Fetal monitoring and get the OBGYN down here immediately.
36:43Mr. Crawford, it was a minor fall.
36:45A complete prenatal checkup as well.
36:47I already called the neurologist.
36:49Okay.
36:54Always so controlling, aren't you, Uncle?
36:56At least one of us knows how to make Lila happy.
36:59You remember our beach dates?
37:01You said that I was the most fun you ever had.
37:04Thompson, bring in the following catering.
37:07The one with the Michelin star.
37:08I believe Lila mentioned she was craving salmon.
37:11Medium fatty cut.
37:12No wasabi.
37:13I didn't say I was.
37:15You remember when we'd watch movies?
37:17Her favorite movie was always Pride and Prejudice.
37:20BBC adaptation, 1995.
37:22She watches it when she's stressed out.
37:25Which is why I had our home theater upgraded with the original film reels from the BBC archives.
37:30You did what?
37:31Okay, both of you, get out.
37:34Is this just a competition between you two?
37:37Go.
37:37I need to be alone.
37:45Lila, my baby.
37:47Hi, Daddy.
37:50What happened?
37:52Oh, it's nothing.
37:54Don't worry.
37:55Oh.
37:55I have to tell you something.
37:59I'm going to be a mother.
38:02It's not that Ethan voice, is it?
38:04No, it's not his.
38:06Oh.
38:08Good.
38:09Well, then who's?
38:11It doesn't matter who the father is.
38:13What matters is that he's going to be my baby.
38:16And I'm going to love it so much, just like you loved me.
38:19Oh, sweetheart.
38:21I could have given you so much more.
38:24I should have given you so much more if I was healthier.
38:27If I...
38:28No.
38:29No, no, no.
38:29If I was in this hospital, I...
38:31Don't do that.
38:34Who...
38:36Wait a minute.
38:37Who's paying the bills for the hospital?
38:40Who's...
38:40You didn't sell yourself to some men, did you?
38:43It's not like that.
38:45Did someone take advantage of you?
38:49Wait a minute.
38:50My poor girl.
38:51Alone and pregnant?
38:53You...
38:53You...
38:53She's not alone.
38:56Mr. Reed.
38:58Majin Crawford.
39:00Father of her child.
39:03Adrian.
39:05I'm not just the father.
39:07I'm the man who's going to spend the rest of his life making sure that your daughter
39:10and our child have everything they deserve.
39:14That's pretty words coming from a rich man.
39:17Not words, sir.
39:18Facts.
39:20No, Adrian.
39:21I promise you this.
39:23Every morning, when your daughter wakes up,
39:27she'll know she's cherished.
39:29Every decision I make, every step I take,
39:33will be to ensure her happiness.
39:35You really mean that, don't you?
39:40Yes, sir, I do.
39:43Oh, I can finally stop worrying now.
39:51Lila.
39:52Lila.
39:56Pace.
39:58Thank you for saying all that.
40:01I know you were just trying to make my father feel better, but...
40:03No.
40:04Lila.
40:05I wasn't just doing anything.
40:07Every word I said in there was true.
40:10Adrian.
40:13Lila, I need you to understand something.
40:16I've been falling for you since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
40:22Yes, we started with a contract, but...
40:26I realize you become everything to me.
40:28Not my surrogate, not my convenient fiancé.
40:32My partner.
40:34If you'll have me.
40:36But what about Ethan and Vivian?
40:39What about them?
40:40You were just using me to get revenge on Ethan, right?
40:44Revenge?
40:45I never loved Vivian.
40:47And Ethan, she's not worth a second thought.
40:50You're the woman I never thought I'd find.
40:53The mother of my future child, my future wife.
40:56And...
40:58Love of my life.
41:00I'm not letting you go.
41:02Not ever.
41:06Surrogacy.
41:07A contract marriage.
41:09Oh, this is too perfect.
41:17What's so urgent?
41:19I know something about our little problem that might interest you.
41:24If this is about her and Adrian.
41:26It's about how she actually got pregnant.
41:32My perfect uncle?
41:34He hired her.
41:36She's a surrogate.
41:38I mean, their whole...
41:39Their whole engagement is a lie.
41:42The contract.
41:45I'm bored with love to hear about this.
41:49At our next family meeting, we will reveal everything.
41:53But we need to gather hard evidence until then.
41:58And once he's ruined?
42:00I'll take the company, of course.
42:03And you'll have Adrian all to yourself.
42:06And Lila?
42:09Lila...
42:10She's fine.
42:24Surrogacy agreement.
42:26Marriage contract.
42:27There's got to be a booth somewhere.
42:30Adrian, you are always so...
42:32Organized.
42:33There's going to be important documents here somewhere.
42:50Mr. Cropper!
43:10Oh, Adrian.
43:12I've been waiting for you.
43:17No, Adrian.
43:20An error is what you need.
43:23We could make one.
43:25Right now.
43:28Poor Lila doesn't have to know.
43:31It could be our...
43:33It's all secret.
43:35Right now.
43:37Anytime you want to.
43:40What if Lila comes back?
43:42Scared.
43:43Why don't we...
43:45Go down to the wine cellar.
43:48You know I've always loved it down there.
43:51Better put this on.
43:58Perfect.
44:08Adrian.
44:10You can't do this to me.
44:12I'm a Crawford Industries executive.
44:16This is harassment.
44:20Adrian.
44:30It'll be mine soon.
44:38Everyone.
44:40This crisis almost destroyed us.
44:44But thanks to your tireless efforts,
44:47Crawford is stronger than ever.
44:50Cheers!
44:51To the best company in the world.
44:57Although,
44:58speaking of tonight's celebration,
45:01there is something that you should all be prepared for.
45:04For what?
45:06Well,
45:07my uncle
45:08is bringing his fiance.
45:11But the thing is,
45:14she and I used to be together
45:16until very recently.
45:19I know, I know, I know.
45:21But listen,
45:22when they arrive,
45:23I want us just to
45:24act normal.
45:26Now,
45:26I can't bear
45:27any more drama.
45:28So,
45:29she left you for
45:30your uncle?
45:32These things happen.
45:34Everyone,
45:35I'd like you all to meet my fiance,
45:38Lila Reid.
45:40Hi.
45:41It's lovely to meet you all.
45:46Hello,
45:47everyone.
45:49Real hero of the hour.
45:59How are you feeling?
46:00Is the morning sickness gone yet?
46:02I'm fine.
46:04And I'm worried about you.
46:06All this stress,
46:07it can't be good for the baby.
46:09Have you gone to the doctor lately?
46:11Because I could drive you next time.
46:13That won't be necessary.
46:14Come on,
46:16Byron.
46:16We used to tell each other everything.
46:18I just want to make sure
46:20you're getting the proper care you need.
46:22It's very thoughtful,
46:23but Adrian takes me to
46:24always do the part
46:25in this personal.
46:26She's beautiful,
46:27isn't she?
46:29She's just the kind of woman
46:31that belongs in Adrian's world.
46:33It's beautiful.
46:35We both know how Adrian thinks.
46:38I mean,
46:38he's like a chess master.
46:41Every piece
46:42has its use.
46:43Some are for business
46:44and others
46:45are for it.
46:46You don't know him.
46:48Oh, but I do.
46:51Adrian Crawford
46:52loves exactly one person
46:53and that's Adrian Crawford.
46:57People are like investments to him.
47:00You know, Vivian,
47:01she's perfect to run the company.
47:04And I think we both know
47:05what your role is.
47:12He's wrong.
47:14He has to be wrong.
47:23Everyone in this world
47:24has their place
47:26or purpose.
47:30I think it's time
47:31I found mine again.
47:34Vivian.
47:48Vivian,
47:49when's the last time you ate?
47:52Um,
47:53breakfast?
47:55Yesterday's breakfast.
47:58I think that's enough for today.
48:00You still have to train.
48:01Come on.
48:08Good.
48:10So apparently,
48:11this position
48:12works with pregnancy.
48:18Like this?
48:20Almost.
48:23You know,
48:24I think I need more instruction.
48:26I don't want to think
48:28I'm trying to move
48:32people
48:32because they move
48:37Well,
48:39everything looks perfect.
48:40The baby's development
48:41is right on track.
48:43Really?
48:44Really.
48:45Now that we're in this
48:46stable period,
48:47um,
48:48intimate relations
48:49are, uh,
48:51completely safe.
48:52Right?
48:52Be gentle.
48:54Yes.
48:55Thank you, doctor.
48:55Appreciate it.
48:56Sure.
48:57Yeah.
49:06Dr. Anderson,
49:07let's talk about this
49:09agreement.
49:10Can you confirm
49:11that it is
49:12a service-y contract?
49:14Mr. Harrington,
49:15patient confidentiality
49:17precludes me
49:17from discussing
49:18anything about my patients.
49:20You know,
49:20the new hospital complex
49:21is looking for
49:22department heads.
49:23It would be a shame
49:24if your name
49:25got mysteriously
49:26removed from consideration.
49:31Sign here.
49:48Oh, no.
49:54Surrogacy?
49:56Surrogacy?
49:57Five generations
49:58of Crawford dignity
50:00destroyed by
50:01tabloid gossip.
50:03I knew that
50:04there was something
50:04wrong with that girl.
50:05Did you really pay
50:06something?
50:07Nobody
50:08to carry your air?
50:10Tell me this
50:10isn't true.
50:12You.
50:14This is your doing.
50:21Adrian,
50:22I need to discuss
50:23something.
50:24Private.
50:26Private.
50:27I can make
50:27all these disappear.
50:29All you have
50:30to do
50:32is
50:32make me
50:33the true
50:34Mrs. Crawford.
50:35The true
50:36Mrs. Crawford?
50:38We're so perfect
50:39together.
50:40We can be again.
50:42Let's give me
50:43the position
50:43I deserve.
50:46You know,
50:46I do need
50:47your help,
50:48actually.
50:48Please,
50:49never show up
50:50here again.
50:59I'm not going to
51:00let them hurt you.
51:01I'm not worried
51:02about you.
51:05If they expose
51:06the truth
51:06about our
51:07relationship,
51:08you're going to
51:09lose everything
51:09that you worked
51:10so hard for.
51:11Nothing is more
51:12important than
51:12you and our
51:14child.
51:21This emergency
51:22family meeting
51:23will come to
51:24order.
51:25I have proof.
51:26Mrs. Reed
51:27isn't Adrienne's
51:28loving bride-be.
51:29These are
51:30medical records
51:31showing that
51:31she underwent
51:32IVF treatment.
51:35Showing that
51:36she underwent
51:37IVF treatment.
51:38I have proof
51:40soon.
51:41Here,
51:42the surrogacy
51:42contracts.
51:44It will show
51:44you how much
51:45she was
51:45compensated
51:47generously.
51:47I have paid
51:49surrogacy.
51:51How come?
51:53Fine.
51:54You know what
51:54the truth?
51:55This started
51:56as surrogacy.
51:57But Lila,
52:00she's the mother
52:01I chose for my
52:01child.
52:03And I won't
52:04let any of you
52:04slander her.
52:06You want
52:06this arrangement?
52:07Fine.
52:08But it costs
52:09you everything.
52:11Resign from
52:12the company.
52:13Give up
52:14your inheritance.
52:15The child
52:16can stay
52:17in the family
52:18of course.
52:19But the mother,
52:21you know,
52:22after delivering
52:23your services
52:23will no longer
52:24be required.
52:25Yes,
52:26I did IVF treatment.
52:28But I never,
52:30never thought
52:31about this baby
52:32as a business
52:32transaction.
52:34You can think
52:34whatever you want
52:35about me.
52:37But don't you
52:37ever question
52:39my love for this
52:39child.
52:42enough.
52:43I'm willing
52:44to give up
52:44everything.
52:45The company,
52:47the inheritance.
52:48But I won't
52:49give her up.
52:50She's my wife.
52:52And I'm willing
52:53to do anything
52:53for her.
52:55We're getting
52:56married.
52:57Properly.
52:58Publicly.
53:00You want to
53:01throw everything
53:01away for this
53:02woman?
53:04Then you get
53:05nothing from
53:06this family.
53:07nothing.
53:09Sign it.
53:11Renounce
53:11your inheritance.
53:13All of it.
53:14Adrian,
