Short filmTranscript
00:06Three years I've loved him. Tonight I'll give him all of me. My heart, my body, my future. We'll make
00:13a beautiful baby together.
00:38Oh my god!
00:39What? It's my birthday. You wouldn't give me the gift that once and I took matters into my own hands.
00:46Are you really so shocked? I mean, you're always telling me to try new things. Why don't you come join
00:52us?
00:56Three years of my life that I have wasted on you. Oh my god, I'm such an idiot. I actually
01:04thought about having a baby with you.
01:06A baby? You didn't put 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. One sperm donor, one appointment, and I'll have my
01:44own baby.
01:50Sir.
01:53Six months to produce an error, I lose control of Crawford Industries. To my sister and her little monster.
02:01Sir, the surrogate candidates are fully vetted. All Ivy League graduates and...
02:06I don't need their resumes, Thompson. Find me someone who knows their place.
02:10And they'll disappear after delivery.
02:14Ah!
02:24No, no, no, no, no, no. I think I got almost all of them.
02:28Are you here for the interview?
02:29Yes, I am.
02:31Alright, 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?
02:47Just trying to be thorough. We're talking about a baby coming into this world. God!
02:52Why are all attractive men so self-involved?
02:57I don't care if you're Brad Pitt. I still need to know your reproductive history and all of your sexual
03:01partners in the last six months.
03:03Sir, I am so sorry. I can ask her to leave.
03:06Thompson, leave us.
03:10Why'd you ask him to leave?
03:12Chatsworth MBA. Top of class. No family history of genetic disorders. I 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?
03:25Of course. Yeah.
03:28I am perfectly healthy as well.
03:30No genetic issues. I go to regular check-ups. I even started taking prenatal vitamins.
03:36You know, I think that you're the perfect match.
03:40Great. Now concerning compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
03:45I was thinking 800.
03:47I was expecting the fee to be significantly higher.
03:50I know it's not very much, but I figured because of the quality, I could help out with other things
03:55like 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? What surrogacy?
04:23The position you're interviewing for.
04:26Interview? I 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.
04:41I should probably go.
04:44Wait.
04:46A million dollars.
04:48Becaring my child.
04:50I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
04:53Not someone else's.
04:56Next.
05:01Hello?
05:02Miss Reed, your father.
05:04You need to come now.
05:05I will be right there.
05:12Doctor, my father.
05:13How is he?
05:15Well, the cancer has spread aggressively.
05:18Without immediate treatment.
05:19No, 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?
05:43Is this the last batch?
05:45Uh, yes, sir.
05:47All of them want the Crawford name.
05:48None of them are qualified.
05:50She was refreshing.
05:53No pretense.
05:55No schemes.
05:56Ah, sir, she was not here for the surrogacy.
06:00Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job, Thompson.
06:11Hello?
06:15I was thinking.
06:19I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
06:22What kind of modification?
06:23Joint custody.
06:25She 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.
06:44We'd be parents.
06:45Nothing more.
06:47No emotional entanglements.
06:49No romantic expectations.
06:51Oh, 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.
07:33Is that CEO speak for I changed my mind?
07:37We need a convincing story.
07:39You'll stay at my house during the pregnancy.
07:43And what about after the baby's born?
07:45We'll arrange for an amicable separation.
07:48Continue co-parenting.
08:04Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
08:08Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
08:24I think my entire apartment could fit inside this entryway.
08:30Well, 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 pup.
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, finally realize what you missed.
08:58Get your hands off me!
09:00My heart to get was cute before, but now, we both know what you're giving.
09:10Uncle, what?
09:10What's your filthy hands off my fiancé?
09:13What's your fiancé?
09:15Uncle?
09:17Uncle?
09:19No, 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.
09:33One more word and you can kiss your trustfully goodbye.
09:43Are you all right?
09:48Yeah.
09:49I'm fine.
09:51So, Ethan is your nephew.
09:54And he's your...
09:56Um, he was my boyfriend.
09:59He was my ex-boyfriend.
10:01Ex.
10:01Very ex.
10:03I see.
10:05Well, Thompson will be up shortly with your bags.
10:09So, which bedroom am I going to be staying in?
10:14Here.
10:16What?
10:36That's the line.
10:37Don't cross it, Heather.
10:39Of course.
10:40Good.
10:41Good.
10:41Good.
10:42Good.
10:44Good.
10:45Good.
10:46Good.
10:47Good.
10:57See?
10:59My brilliant plan worked.
11:03Wait, how did this happen?
11:07Oh, uh, sir.
11:09Are you okay?
11:10Fine.
11:11Continue.
11:23Stay on your side.
11:32Lila?
11:34Wake up.
11:40Lila, please.
11:55Oh, sorry, dear.
11:56Didn't see you there.
11:58Hard to notice the hell.
12:06If it isn't my brother's mysterious fiancé.
12:10This is Crawford.
12:11I know.
12:12Call me Catherine.
12:13We are family, apparently.
12:16Tell me again.
12:17How did you and Adrienne meet?
12:18We met through mutual friends.
12:21Mutual friends?
12:22Oh, 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?
12:33A 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 fiancé, 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?
13:15Um, it'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 it's finished.
13:26Wow.
13:27But that, that's just beautiful.
13:31Oh, wow.
13:32Just a little, meds 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 so much, Daddy.
13:56I'll be strong for you, Daddy.
13:57I promise.
13:58Mila, what happened?
14:02What should I do?
14:06How was my happy couple today?
14:11All right, then.
14:12Let's see.
14:13Just a small pinch.
14:14That's not small.
14:16That's not small at all.
14:18Remember, million dollars.
14:23What should I do?
14:28Yeah.
14:30Back out.
14:41Focus.
14:43It's a simple medical procedure.
14:45Just pretend like she isn't outside.
14:49Mr. Crawford?
14:51Is everything okay in there?
14:53Uh, fine.
14:54I...
14:55I just need some assistance.
14:57Okay.
14:57Well, do you need my help?
14:59What?
15:00No.
15:01I didn't mean...
15:01Are you sure?
15:02Because I don't mind.
15:03I can come in there.
15:05Yeah, come in.
15:09So you want to help?
15:11Yeah.
15:12What do you need me to do?
15:16Oh.
15:18Oh.
15:19You meant like...
15:20I...
15:21I didn't...
15:22I wasn't...
15:23I'm just gonna go.
15:25I'm gonna...
15:25I'm gonna wait outside somewhere far away.
15:28Extremely far away.
15:32That was helpful.
15:43Are you okay?
15:45Dr. Anderson said the shots might hurt, but...
15:47It's causing you pain?
15:49It's just a little uncomfortable.
15:50It'll pass.
15:56Here.
15:58Should help with the pain.
16:22Well, technically the...
16:24Homo shots were a part of our agreement.
16:27The resulting pain is a work-related issue, so...
16:30I have a duty of care.
16:32Yeah.
16:34Yeah.
16:48To be continued...
17:05To be continued...
17:35Anna, the merger's falling apart. Thompson, get to Jeopardy.
17:38Wait, but your family, they invited me to go to dinner.
17:42Okay. 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 Thompson heirs, the senator's daughter.
17:59Why pick this gold digger from God knows where?
18:02What did you say she did again, Ethan?
18:05Retail?
18:06Worse, she's a wannabe writer.
18:08She probably thought landing in Crawford would get her a best son in the story.
18:12Well, at least I tried to be welcoming.
18:14Had the chef prepared a place at the table and everything.
18:18Although she probably would have had trouble figuring out which book to use.
18:31I'm so sorry for my slight delay.
18:36Wow.
18:37Look at you, trying to dress the part.
18:41Looks like Adrienne's credit card has gotten a good workout.
18:43Money can buy you designer clothes.
18:46Too bad it can't buy you bragging.
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 making Adrienne socks.
18:56I may not be born from privilege, but I was raised with someone from my family.
19:03You don't like me.
19:05I don't like you.
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.
19:19Hey, excuse 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?
19:57You need to let go of me, you bastard!
19:59Careful now.
20:00One screen and everyone at dinner finds out what kind of girl you really are.
20:03And our love history.
20:05Now, where were we?
20:13Is everything all right, dear?
20:15You look a little bluster.
20:18As I was saying, the Wilson merger was moving on twice.
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 a chance.
20:51If anyone's unworthy of this relationship, it's me.
20:55You want to know how we met?
20:56She fell into my life.
20:57Papers flying everywhere.
20:59Coffee spilled.
21:00But unlike some people, she didn't care about my name or my money.
21:03I asked her to be with me.
21:05But she 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 fiancé.
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.
21:29Sir, what about the merger?
21:30Yes, sir.
21:34I 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?
21:54She probably planned this from the start.
21:55Dating me to get close to the family, and then setting her sights higher.
21:59You may give it to a table.
22:01Face it, Uncle.
22:02You'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 fiancée, 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.
23:05A fiancée.
23:06Act like one.
23:11Dr. 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...
24:07There.
24:09Congratulations to the Crawfords.
24:11You'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.
25:00I didn't see you there.
25:03Adrian.
25:04Adrian.
25:05It's not clear.
25:07She's got a bit unstable there.
25:08You 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.
25:15You would lean into me while reading your favorite.
25:17Did she?
25:20Did she?
25:21Get out.
25:24Oh, Adrian.
25:26What's wrong?
25:27My stomach, it hurts.
25:30Anyway, anything happens to my fiancé or our child, I can't guarantee what I might do.
25:36What you want, you'll never have it.
25:39Never.
25:40Come on.
25:45Child.
25:47Three years, and she wouldn't let me touch her.
25:50And now, she's carrying my uncle's child?
25:52You want a perfect little family?
25:54It's not gonna happen.
26:04Thompson.
26:05Clear my schedule.
26:07Everything 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 along, 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.
26:59What kind of exercise?
27:08Um...
27:08I 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.
27:15Let me go with you.
27:18This is very intimate.
27:22We are here to train.
27:25Let's do it properly.
27:27Good job.
27:31Good job.
27:41Gala isn't a test.
27:43I know, but as the school's largest donor, they specifically requested that you come.
27:48You look perfect.
28:01It's been yourself.
28:08Adrian, it's been too long.
28:11You look exactly the same.
28:15And you must be the fiancé.
28:19I'm so pleased Adrian finally found somebody.
28:23That's really nice.
28:25I'm sorry.
28:26Who 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 you.
28:38The golden couple.
28:40I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged.
28:43I knew it had to be you, Vivian.
28:45The perfect match.
28:46Just like a chat's work.
28:49When's the wedding?
28:56Everyone, I'd like you all to meet my fiancé, Valerie.
28:59We're expecting our first child.
29:01And yes, we'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.
29:12Adrian Crawford in a complete unknown.
29:13How did she do that?
29:15Oh my gosh, she's pregnant.
29:17Can you knock her out?
29:20They can be so judgmental.
29:22Can't they?
29:23Don't take it personally.
29:26Yeah.
29:33They do look like the perfect couple.
29:46Drinking?
29:47I thought you were pregnant.
29:50It's none of your business.
29:53You 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?
30:09Yeah, 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?
30:28Lival, do 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 egg 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?
31:38Was 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 Singapore 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.
32:03We'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.
32:20Sir?
32:21Sir!
32:21There have been some complications.
32:25Explain.
32:26In your absence,
32:27Ethan's been meeting with members of the board.
32:30Suggesting that,
32:31due to your sudden marriage plans,
32:33you might be showing
32:35erratic decision making.
32:38And now certain executives believe
32:40that maybe someone so personally distracted
32:42isn't fit to inherit the company.
32:44Fascinating.
32:50Mr. Crawford.
32:53We've been discussing
32:54my personal life.
32:56Your sudden absence has caused
32:58many problems.
33:00Let me be very clear here.
33:02This company suffered
33:0440% profit loss
33:05before I took over.
33:07Within the last three years,
33:08I tripled our market share.
33:09Every major merger,
33:12every successful acquisition,
33:14every stock surge,
33:17has been because of my execution
33:18and my strategies.
33:21So yes,
33:23I'm getting married.
33:25And yeah,
33:26I took some time off.
33:27And no,
33:28no one in this room
33:29has the right to question
33:30my commitment
33:31or capability.
33:33Because without me,
33:34there wouldn't even be
33:35a company.
33:36Now,
33:38shall we discuss the merger?
33:46I'm sorry about her in the air.
33:49She's...
33:56It's beautiful.
33:58Yeah,
33:58I love this one.
34:03Adrian!
34:04What the hell were you thinking
34:06in the board meeting yesterday?
34:07I was doing my job.
34:09Your job
34:10is to follow
34:11the family strategy.
34:12Ever since she came
34:13into your life,
34:14you've been undermining
34:15everything you've built.
34:16Leave Lila out of here.
34:18I don't need to sit here
34:19and listen to this.
34:20Yes,
34:20run along.
34:21The adults are talking
34:22business now.
34:23I'll take care of this dear.
34:25Don't worry,
34:25I'll bear it out.
34:27This girl is poison
34:28to the Crawford name.
34:30She's nothing
34:31but a broodmare.
34:32What she delivers,
34:33pay her off
34:34and be done with it.
34:37She's nothing
34:38but a broodmare.
34:39When she delivers,
34:40pay her off
34:41and be done with it.
34:42Adrian needs something
34:43like me.
34:44Who's this one?
34:45Someone like me.
34:46Vivian is joining
34:47Crawford Industries tomorrow.
34:49Non-negotiable.
34:50She'll be with you
34:51every day,
34:51just like before.
34:52Your little pet project
34:53can stay home
34:54majestic.
34:55That's all she's good for.
35:08Get out!
35:09Book!
35:10How dare you!
35:11If you ever speak
35:11about my life that way again,
35:13I'll burn Crawford Industries
35:14to the ground.
35:15Adrian,
35:15be reasonable!
35:16Enough!
35:179am tomorrow,
35:18Vivian starts.
35:20Defy me,
35:21I'll dilute this shit.
35:23Is that all?
35:28Hey,
35:29Lila!
35:30Lila!
35:31Are you okay?
35:34Don't worry,
35:35I got you.
35:42Thank you
35:44for helping me.
35:46I know
35:46we've had our differences,
35:48but
35:49I really appreciate it.
35:52You know,
35:53you used to look at me
35:53like that all the time.
35:55All sweet and sincere.
35:58Please don't.
36:00Why not, Lila?
36:02I mean,
36:02are we really so impossible?
36:04Ethan.
36:07No!
36:13Adrian!
36:13Adrian!
36:14Stop!
36:14What are you doing?
36:15Protecting you.
36:16No,
36:17he saved me.
36:18He helped me
36:19and he brought me here today
36:20after I fainted.
36:21So now you're defending him.
36:23I'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
36:40and get the OB-GYN
36:41down here immediately.
36:43Mr. Crawford,
36:44it was a minor fall.
36:45A complete prenatal checkup as well.
36:47I already called the neurologist.
36:49Okay.
36:54Always so controlling,
36:55aren't you,
36:55Uncle?
36:56At least one of us knows
36:57how to make Lila happy.
36:59Do you remember our beach dates?
37:01You said that I was the most fun
37:02you ever had.
37:04Thompson,
37:05bring in the following catering.
37:07The one with the Michelin star,
37:08I believe Lila mentioned
37:09she was craving salmon.
37:11Medium fatty cut,
37:12no sabi.
37:13I didn't say I was.
37:15Do you remember
37:15when we'd watch movies?
37:17Her favorite movie
37:18was always Pride-
37:19Pride and Prejudice,
37:20BBC adaptation,
37:211995.
37:22She watches it
37:23when she's stressed out.
37:25Which is why
37:25I had our home theater
37:26upgraded with the original
37:28film reels
37:28from the BBC archives.
37:30You did what?
37:31Okay, both of you,
37:33get out.
37:34Is this just a competition
37:35between you two?
37:37Go.
37:38I need to be alone.
37:45Lila, my baby.
37:47Hi, Daddy.
37:50What happened?
37:53Oh, it's nothing.
37:54Don't worry.
37:55Oh.
37:56I have to tell you something.
38:00I'm going to be a mother.
38:02It's not that Ethan voice,
38:04is it?
38:04No, it's not his.
38:06Oh.
38:08Good.
38:09Well, then who's?
38:11It doesn't matter
38:12who the father is.
38:13What matters is that
38:14it's going to be my baby
38:16and I'm going to love it
38:17so much
38:17just like you loved me.
38:19Oh, sweetheart.
38:21I could have given you
38:22so much more.
38:24I should have given you
38:25so much more
38:26if I was healthier.
38:27If I...
38:28No.
38:29No, no, no.
38:29If I was in this hospital,
38:31I'd...
38:31Don't do that.
38:34Who?
38:36Wait a minute.
38:37Who's paying the bills
38:39for the hospital?
38:40Who's...
38:40You didn't sell yourself
38:42to some men,
38:43did you?
38:43It's not like that.
38:45Did someone take advantage
38:46of you?
38:49Wait a minute.
38:50My poor girl.
38:52Alone and pregnant?
38:53You...
38:53You...
38:54She's not alone.
38:56Mr. Reid,
38:58I'm Adrian Crawford,
38:59father of her child.
39:03Adrian.
39:05I'm not just the father.
39:07I'm the man
39:08who's going to spend
39:08the rest of his life
39:09making sure that
39:10your daughter
39:10and our child
39:12have everything
39:13they deserve.
39:14That's pretty words
39:15coming from a rich man.
39:17Not words, sir.
39:19Facts.
39:20No, Adrian.
39:21I promise you this.
39:23Every morning
39:24when your daughter
39:25wakes up,
39:27she'll know
39:28she's cherished.
39:29Every decision I make,
39:30every step I take
39:33will be to
39:34ensure her happiness.
39:36You really mean that,
39:38don't you?
39:40Yes, sir, I do.
39:43Oh, I can finally
39:45stop worrying
39:46now.
39:51Come on.
39:56Pace.
39:58Thank you
39:59for saying all of that.
40:01I know you were just
40:01trying to make my father
40:02feel better, but...
40:03No.
40:04Lala.
40:05I wasn't just doing anything.
40:07Every word I said
40:08in there
40:09was true.
40:10Adrian.
40:13Lala,
40:14I need you to
40:14understand something.
40:16I've been falling for you
40:18since you crashed
40:18into my office
40:19with that ridiculous
40:20donor questionnaire.
40:22Yes,
40:23we started with a contract,
40:25but...
40:26I realize
40:27you become everything to me.
40:29Not my surrogate.
40:30Not my convenient fiancé.
40:32My partner.
40:34If you'll have me.
40:36But what about
40:37Ethan and Vivian?
40:39What about them?
40:40You were just
40:41using me
40:42to get revenge
40:43on Ethan, right?
40:44Revenge?
40:45I never loved Vivian.
40:47And Ethan,
40:48she's not worth
40:49a second thought.
40:50You're the woman
40:51I never thought
40:52I'd find.
40:53The mother
40:53of my future child,
40:54my future wife.
40:56And...
40:58love of my life.
41:00I'm not letting you go.
41:02Not ever.
41:07Surrogacy.
41:07A contract marriage.
41:09Oh, this is too perfect.
41:17What's so urgent?
41:19I know something
41:20about our little problem
41:21that might interest you.
41:24If this is about her
41:25and Adrian...
41:26It's about how
41:27she actually
41:27got pregnant.
41:32my perfect uncle,
41:34he hired her.
41:36She's a servant.
41:38I mean,
41:39their whole
41:39engagement is a lie.
41:42The contract.
41:46I'm bored with love
41:47to hear about this.
41:50At our next family meeting,
41:52we will reveal everything.
41:53But we need to gather
41:55hard evidence
41:56until then.
41:58And once he's ruined?
42:00I'll take the company,
42:02of course.
42:03And you'll have Adrian
42:04all to yourself.
42:05And Lila?
42:08Lila.
42:10She's fine.
42:24Surrogacy agreement.
42:26Marriage contract.
42:27There's gotta be
42:28a booth somewhere.
42:30Adrian,
42:31you are always
42:31so organized.
42:33It's gonna be
42:34important documents
42:35here somewhere.
42:50Mr. Cropper!
43:01Shit, shit, shit.
43:10Oh, Adrian.
43:12I've been waiting
43:14for you.
43:17No, Adrian.
43:20An heir
43:20is what you need.
43:23We
43:24could make one
43:25right
43:26now.
43:28poor Lila
43:29doesn't have to know.
43:30It could be our
43:33little secret.
43:35Right now?
43:37Anytime you want to.
43:40What if Lila
43:41comes back?
43:42Scared.
43:44Why don't we
43:45go down to the
43:46wine cellar?
43:48You know
43:49I've always loved it
43:50down there.
43:51Hmm.
43:51better put this
43:53on.
43:58Perfect.
44:09Adrian?
44:10You can't do this
44:12to me!
44:12I'm a Crawford
44:14Industries
44:14executive!
44:16No!
44:16This is harassment!
44:20Adrian?
44:29No, Adrian.
44:31It'll be mine soon.
44:38Everyone!
44:40This crisis
44:42almost destroyed us.
44:44But thanks to your
44:45tireless efforts,
44:47Crawford
44:48is stronger
44:49than ever.
44:50Cheers
44:51to the best
44:53company
44:54in the world.
44:57Although,
44:59speaking of
44:59tonight's celebration,
45:01there is something
45:02that you should all
45:03be prepared for.
45:04For what?
45:06Well,
45:07my uncle
45:08is bringing
45:09his fiancée.
45:11But the thing is,
45:15she and I
45:15used to be
45:16together
45:16until very recently.
45:20I know,
45:20I 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
45:29for your uncle?
45:32These things happen.
45:34Everyone,
45:35I'd like you all
45:36to meet my fiancée,
45:38Myla Reed.
45:40Hi!
45:41It's lovely
45:42to meet you all.
45:46Hello,
45:47everyone!
45:50Real hero
45:51of the hour!
45:59How are you
45:59feeling?
46:00Is the morning sickness
46:01gone yet?
46:02I'm fine.
46:04I'm worried
46:05about you.
46:06All this stress,
46:07it can't be good
46:07for the baby.
46:09Have you gone
46:09to the doctor lately?
46:11Because I could
46:11drive you next time.
46:13That won't be
46:13necessary.
46:15Come on,
46:16Byron.
46:16We used to tell
46:17each other everything.
46:19I just want to make
46:20sure you're getting
46:20the proper care
46:21you need.
46:22It's very thoughtful,
46:23but Adrian
46:24picks me to all
46:25of you
46:25in the right
46:25and it's personal.
46:26She's beautiful,
46:28isn't she?
46:29She's just
46:30the kind of woman
46:31that belongs
46:31in Adrian's world.
46:34Okay,
46:34this is you.
46:35We both know
46:36how Adrian thinks.
46:38I mean,
46:38he's like
46:39a chess master.
46:41Every piece
46:42has its use.
46:43Some are for business
46:44and others
46:45are for.
46:46You don't know him.
46:49Oh,
46:49but I do.
46:51Adrian Crawford
46:52loves exactly
46:53one person
46:53and that's
46:54Adrian Crawford.
46:57People are like
46:58investments to him.
47:00You know,
47:00Vivian,
47:01she's perfect
47:02to run the company.
47:04And I think
47:05we 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.
47:50when's the last time
47:50you ate?
47:52Um,
47:53breakfast?
47:55Yesterday's breakfast.
47:58I think that's
47:59enough for today.
48:00You still have to train.
48:02Come on.
48:07good.
48:09So apparently
48:11this position
48:12what's with pregnancy?
48:17Like this?
48:20Almost.
48:23You know,
48:24I think I need
48:24more instruction.
48:26I don't want to
48:28think
48:28I'm trying to
48:30move
48:32people
48:32always
48:33fight
48:33move
48:38Well,
48:39everything looks perfect.
48:40The baby's development
48:41is right on track.
48:43Really?
48:44Really.
48:45Now that we're
48:46in this stable period,
48:47um,
48:49intimate relations
48:49are, uh,
48:51completely safe.
48:52Right?
48:53I mean,
48:53be gentle.
48:54Yes.
48:55Thank you, doctor.
48:56Appreciate it.
48:57Sure.
48:57Yeah.
49:06Dr. Anderson,
49:07let's talk about
49:09this agreement.
49:10Can you confirm
49:11that it is
49:12surrogacy contract?
49:14Mr. Harrington,
49:15patient confidentiality
49:17precludes me
49:17from discussing
49:18anything
49:19about my patients.
49:20You know,
49:20the new hospital
49:21complex is looking
49:22for department
49:22heads.
49:23It would be
49:24a shame
49:24if your name
49:25got mysteriously
49:26removed from
49:26consideration.
49:31Sign here.
49:48Oh, no.
49:54surrogacy.
49:56Surrogacy.
49:57Surrogacy.
49:57Five generations
49:58of proper dignity
50:00destroyed by
50:01tabloid gossip.
50:03I knew that
50:04there was something
50:04wrong with that,
50:05Did you really
50:06pay something?
50:07Nobody
50:08to carry your
50:09anger.
50:10Tell me this
50:10isn't true.
50:12You.
50:14This is your
50:15doing.
50:16Oh, no.
50:18I'm sorry.
50:19I'm sorry.
50:19I'm sorry.
50:19I'm sorry.
50:21Adrian, I need
50:23to discuss
50:23something private.
50:26Adrian, I can
50:27make all these
50:28disappear.
50:29All you have
50:30to do
50:32is make me
50:33the true
50:34Mrs. Crawford.
50:35The true
50:36Mrs. Crawford?
50:38I'm so perfect
50:39together.
50:40We can be
50:41again.
50:43Let's give me
50:43the position
50:44I deserve.
50:46You know,
50:47I do need
50:47your help,
50:48actually.
50:49Please,
50:49never show up
50:50here again.
50:59I'm not
51:00going to let them
51:00hurt you.
51:01I'm not
51:02worried about
51:02you.
51:05If they
51:06expose the
51:06truth about
51:07our
51:07relationship,
51:08you're going
51:09to lose
51:09everything that
51:10you worked
51:10so hard
51:10for.
51:11Nothing is
51:12more important
51:12than you
51:13and our
51:14child.
51:21This
51:22emergency
51:22family meeting
51:23will come
51:24to order.
51:25I have proof
51:26Ms. Reed
51:27isn't Adrienne's
51:28loving bride-to-be.
51:29These are
51:30medical records
51:31showing that
51:32she underwent
51:32IVF treatment.
51:35Showing that
51:36she underwent
51:37IVF treatment.
51:38I have proof
51:40to.
51:41Here,
51:42the surrogacy
51:43contract.
51:44It will show
51:44you how much
51:45she was compensated
51:46generously,
51:47Lila.
51:49Paid
51:49surrogacy.
51:51How
51:52common?
51:53Fine.
51:54You know
51:54what the truth?
51:55This started
51:56as surrogacy.
51:57But Lila,
52:00she's the
52:01mother I chose
52:01for my child.
52:03And I won't
52:04let any of you
52:04slander her.
52:06You want
52:06this arrangement?
52:07Fine.
52:09But it costs
52:10you everything.
52:11Resign from
52:12the company.
52:13Give up
52:14your inheritance.
52:16The child
52:17can stay
52:17in the family
52:18of course.
52:20But the
52:20mother,
52:21you know,
52:22after delivery,
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
52:35whatever 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.
52:46The company,
52:47the inheritance.

52:52and I'm willing
52:53to do anything
52:53for her.
52:55we're getting
52:56married properly.

53:01throw everything
53:02away for this
53:02this woman?
53:04Then you get

53:15I'm not worth
53:17losing everything
53:18over.
53:20You're worth
53:20everything.
53:21This company,
53:22these assets,
53:24built them
53:25once I can
53:25build them
53:25again.
53:26But you
53:27and this baby,
53:28you're my
53:28future now.
53:30And I need
53:31you to build it.
53:31Still time
53:32to reconsider,
53:33son.
53:49You've been
53:49at this for
53:50hours.

54:03Come.
54:10No, I
54:11I
54:12understand.
54:13Then you
54:14can't cancel
54:15the contract.
54:16I mean,

54:17together for
54:17ten years.
54:18Just

54:22No, no, no.
54:23Don't call
54:23Adrian.
54:24Just listen
54:24to me.
54:25Hello?
54:27Hello?
54:30The Singapore
54:31merger just
54:31collapsed.
54:32They say they'll
54:33only deal with
54:33Adrian.
54:34This is all
54:35your fault.
54:36It was your
54:37brilliant idea
54:37to get rid of
54:38Adrian.
54:39My fault?
54:39You're the one
54:40who can't handle
54:41basic accounting.
54:44The board
54:45needs to
54:45take five minutes.
54:47Please tell me
54:48that you have
54:48good news.
54:51No, no, no.
54:52No, no, no.

55:07Everything okay?
55:10I think I just went viral.
55:15They must have figured out that the story's about us.
55:19Should I be worried
55:20about what else
55:20you revealed about?
55:39Hello?
55:41Penguin Publishing House?
55:43Yes, this is she.
55:46Oh, my God.
55:48Hold on, sorry.
55:49There's someone
55:49on the other line.
55:53Random House Publishing?
55:55The movie, right?
55:57Uh, yeah,
55:58let me call you back.
56:00Popular woman I married.
56:08Um, it's your dad.
56:10What?
56:13Son,
56:14the board wants you back.
56:16Please take your position.
56:18Your inheritance.
56:20Well, I'll have to ask my wife.
56:22What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
56:31Okay, personal business.
56:34Starting without me?
56:35Perfect timing.
56:36I was just announcing your termination.
56:39You can't fire me.
56:41I'm a share reader.
56:43I'm a senior executive.
56:45Turns out our company crisis last month
56:47wasn't an accident.
56:49You and Ethan have been sabotaging our deals.
56:52You can't prove anything.
56:54Every email,
56:55every phone call,
56:56every private meeting
56:58with our competitor,
57:00it's all documented.
57:02Lawsuit's already been filed.
57:04I'll see both of you
57:05in court.
57:12Adrian,
57:13I think the baby.
57:18Mr. Crawford,
57:20but what about the vote for new director?
57:22For her,
57:23he dropped everything.
57:25Even a multi-billion dollar company.
57:30Before we vote,
57:31there's something you should know.
57:34Adrian and Lila
57:35were legally married two months ago.
57:38And they have my full blessing.
57:47Are both my girls still awake?
57:49Just finishing up.
57:52Good.
57:59Good.
58:05Good.
58:06Good.
58:07Good.
58:08Good.
