00:00:03Miss Ri, your ovaries aren't doing their best lately.
00:00:06This could be the start of ovarian failure.
00:00:09Ovarian failure? I mean, I'm so young.
00:00:12Is this gonna mess with me having kids?
00:00:14I 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.
00:00:21Through everything, here we stand.
00:00:26Babe, meet you 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.
00:01:12Sorry.
00:01:13Are you okay?
00:01:14Yeah.
00:01:15I'm fine.
00:01:16Oh.
00:01:27Huh...
00:01:27Ugh.
00:01:33Oh, my God!
00:01:35Lila!
00:01:37You said you'd be back at 7.
00:01:39Cheating?
00:01:39Is this the big surprise you had planned for me?
00:01:45You're such a buzzkill
00:01:47You always said you wanted to try something new
00:01:49Come join us
00:01:53You always said you wanted to try something new
00:01:55Come join us
00:01:56Three years
00:01:57You 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
00:02:08Sweetheart
00:02:17You really think I'd marry you
00:02:19For your cheap love
00:02:21Over legs like these
00:02:23You 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
00:02:47One sperm donor
00:02:50And I can have my own baby
00:02:58Six months to produce an heir
00:03:00Or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew
00:03:04Everything I've built over the last decade
00:03:07Gone
00:03:07Well, sir
00:03:08The circuit candidates have all been vetted thoroughly
00:03:10I mean
00:03:12Ivy League graduates
00:03:15Expectable health histories
00:03:16I don't need resumes
00:03:18I 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
00:03:31You
00:03:34Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:03:37Oh, um
00:03:38Right, well, let's get started
00:03:43Education background?
00:03:45Excuse me?
00:03:46And I'm going to need a complete medical history
00:03:48Family genetic conditions mostly
00:03:49Um, do 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
00:04:04After all
00:04:07Gosh, why are men almost so fools of themselves?
00:04:09Um
00:04:11Um, sir
00:04:11I don't care if you're Brad Pitt
00:04:13I need to know about your
00:04:15Reproductive history
00:04:17Sexual partners in the last six months
00:04:19Mr. Crawford
00:04:19I can show her out
00:04:21It's okay
00:04:21Tom, you can leave us
00:04:23Okay
00:04:24What are you doing?
00:04:32I'm making sure this is thorough
00:04:38Harvard Business School
00:04:40MBA
00:04:41Top of my class
00:04:42No family history of any genetic disorders
00:04:45I work out five times a week
00:04:46CrossFit
00:04:47Yoga
00:04:48Rock climbing
00:04:49Cycling
00:04:50As for
00:04:53Intimate matters
00:04:54I can assure you that performance has never been a problem
00:04:57Now that Thompson's gone
00:04:59Are you comfortable sharing yours?
00:05:00Oh, um
00:05:01Of course
00:05:02Uh
00:05:02I'm perfectly healthy too
00:05:04Uh, no kinetic conditions
00:05:06I get checkups regularly
00:05:08I haven't started taking prenatal vitamins
00:05:12Good
00:05:12I have to say
00:05:14You're a perfect match
00:05:16How about
00:05:16In regards to compensation
00:05:18Have you got a figure in mind?
00:05:20Well, I was thinking
00:05:22Eight hundred
00:05:23Dollars
00:05:24Eight hundred dollars
00:05:26Well
00:05:28I was expecting a figure
00:05:31Much higher than that
00:05:32I know it's not much
00:05:33But
00:05:33You know
00:05:35Considering the quality
00:05:36And
00:05:37And I could help out
00:05:38In other ways
00:05:38I could do your paperwork
00:05:41Thompson, bring in the contracts
00:05:52Are you serious?
00:05:55All this?
00:05:56Take your time reviewing
00:05:57But the key point is
00:05:58After birth
00:05:59The child stays with me
00:06:00No contact
00:06:01Are you
00:06:02Are you kidding me?
00:06:03You want to keep my baby?
00:06:06Are you kidding me?
00:06:08You want to keep my baby?
00:06:09My baby
00:06:11Is this some kind of sick joke?
00:06:13That's standard procedure
00:06:14For a surrogacy agreement
00:06:16Surrogacy?
00:06:17What?
00:06:17Surrogacy?
00:06:18The position that you're interviewing for
00:06:20Interviewing, no
00:06:20I came here to buy sperm
00:06:23You came to what?
00:06:28Oh my God
00:06:31I?
00:06:34I thought you were a donor
00:06:36That is why I came here
00:06:37Asking you all those questions
00:06:38About your
00:06:40Qualifications
00:06:41And I thought you were
00:06:43Applying to be my surrogate
00:06:45I am
00:06:47So sorry
00:06:48About all the confusion
00:06:49I
00:06:51I'm gonna go
00:06:55A million dollars
00:06:57For carrying my child
00:07:03I want my own baby
00:07:05Mr. Crawford
00:07:08Not somebody else's
00:07:13Next
00:07:17Mr. Reid
00:07:22Your father
00:07:22You need to come now
00:07:35It's gonna be okay
00:07:37Dad you're gonna be okay
00:07:38I'm not afraid to die
00:07:42I'm just afraid
00:07:44To leave you
00:07:45Alone
00:07:46Dad?
00:07:49Dad
00:07:50Doctor
00:07:50Help
00:07:52Please
00:08:01Doctor my father
00:08:02How is he?
00:08:03The cancer has spread aggressively
00:08:05Without immediate treatment
00:08:06Then treat him
00:08:07Now
00:08:08The full course of treatment
00:08:10Will cost approximately
00:08:11One million dollars
00:08:14Aristocratic etiquette
00:08:15Training
00:08:15Influencer
00:08:17Bachelor in economics
00:08:19Yeah
00:08:19Right
00:08:20She's underage
00:08:21Is this the last batch?
00:08:22Yes sir
00:08:23The brunette asked about
00:08:24Ring sizes
00:08:25Blonde
00:08:25Well she asked about
00:08:27Veneas
00:08:27And the redheads
00:08:29All of them just wanted
00:08:30Crawford name
00:08:33But none of them
00:08:34Are suitable
00:08:38This one
00:08:41Was refreshing
00:08:42She was real
00:08:44No schemes
00:08:45Well Mr. Crawford
00:08:47She wasn't here for servicing
00:08:48Sometimes the best candidates
00:08:50Aren't looking for the job
00:08:51Oh my god
00:08:52A million dollars?
00:08:54I
00:08:55Maybe I could get a loan
00:09:01A million dollars
00:09:03For caring my child
00:09:17Hello?
00:09:18Lila Reid
00:09:19This is Adrienne Crawford
00:09:26I'm sorry I was thinking
00:09:31About the other day
00:09:32I think I may have been
00:09:35A little hasty
00:09:36You're reconsidering?
00:09:37Don't look so smug
00:09:38I just
00:09:43I have my reasons
00:09:45As do I
00:09:47I'd like to propose
00:09:48A modification
00:09:49To the original terms
00:09:54What kind of modification?
00:09:56Joint custody
00:09:59As well as carrying the child
00:10:00You'd be
00:10:01Its mother
00:10:04Why would you do that?
00:10:06You're direct
00:10:08Honest
00:10:08No hidden agendas
00:10:11Qualities I want
00:10:11In my child's mother
00:10:14So
00:10:17I'd really be a part
00:10:18Of the baby's life?
00:10:19Yes
00:10:19But just to be clear
00:10:21You'll be parents
00:10:23Nothing more
00:10:24No emotional entanglements
00:10:26No romantic expectations
00:10:28Please don't flatter yourself
00:10:33Father
00:10:33The board
00:10:35Is getting impatient
00:10:36Have you considered
00:10:37The arrangement
00:10:39That I suggested?
00:10:40I have my own plans
00:10:41Hey
00:10:42If you're thinking
00:10:43Of using some
00:10:44Random surrogate
00:10:45To produce an error
00:10:47Forget it
00:10:48The quote
00:10:49Name means
00:10:50Something
00:10:51I won't have it
00:10:52Changed it by
00:10:54I've already chosen
00:10:55My fiance
00:10:56What?
00:10:58I will talk about it
00:11:00I'm sorry
00:11:02Did you just promote me
00:11:04From surrogate
00:11:05To fiance?
00:11:08Did you just promote me
00:11:10From surrogate
00:11:10To fiance?
00:11:12Didn't somebody
00:11:14Just say
00:11:15Just parents
00:11:16Nothing more?
00:11:18The situation
00:11:19Requires
00:11:21Adaptation
00:11:22Is that CEO
00:11:23Speak for
00:11:24I changed my mind?
00:11:25You'll need a convincing story
00:11:26You'll stay at my house
00:11:27During the pregnancy
00:11:29Okay
00:11:30Um
00:11:32What about after?
00:11:33We'll arrange
00:11:34An amicable split
00:11:35Continue co-parenting
00:11:37I'll provide
00:11:38Additional compensation
00:11:39For the complexity
00:11:41No
00:11:41The original match
00:11:42Is fine
00:11:42It's just
00:11:46I do need it soon
00:11:51So?
00:12:19Welcome to the family
00:12:20Misread
00:12:22We were heightened
00:12:47My whole apartment
00:12:49Could fit in this hallway
00:12:55Well, well
00:12:57Missed me so much
00:12:58You had to track me down
00:13:02Couldn't get over me, huh?
00:13:06Had to follow me here
00:13:07Like a lost puppy dog
00:13:10Followed you?
00:13:10No, I didn't
00:13:11Wait, what are you doing here?
00:13:13What am I doing here?
00:13:14Sweetheart
00:13:14You should know better
00:13:16This is my family's home
00:13:21You were so mad
00:13:23Last time I saw you
00:13:24Now I find you wandering around
00:13:28Now I find you wandering around
00:13:28Finally realized what you were missing, huh?
00:13:30Get your hands off me
00:13:33Plain hard to get
00:13:35Plain hard to get
00:13:35Now that was cute before
00:13:36But now
00:13:39Come on, baby
00:13:41This is what you really came in for
00:13:44All right?
00:13:49Uncle
00:13:51What are you doing?
00:13:52Your filthy hands
00:13:54You're filthy hands
00:13:55Off of my fiancée
00:13:57Fiancée?
00:13:59Uncle?
00:14:04Fiancée?
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
00:14:15This is crazy
00:14:18You seriously don't know
00:14:22I won't repeat myself
00:14:23Stay away from my fiancée
00:14:28One more word and you can kiss your trust fund goodbye
00:14:45Are you all right?
00:14:46Yeah
00:14:48Yeah, I'm fine
00:14:48I just
00:14:53Ethan's your nephew?
00:14:54And he's your
00:14:57Well
00:14:59He may have been kind of
00:15:01My boyfriend
00:15:03Ex
00:15:04Ex-boyfriend
00:15:05Very ex
00:15:06Extremely ex
00:15:07I see
00:15:09Thompson will bring your things up shortly
00:15:11Thanks
00:15:12Um
00:15:14Where will I be staying?
00:15:16Here
00:15:22What?
00:15:23Unless you prefer explaining to the staff
00:15:25Why 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
00:15:40Ever
00:15:41I wasn't planning on it
00:15:42Good
00:15:43Didn't want you to
00:15:44Good
00:15:45I won't
00:15:45Okay
00:15:46Okay
00:16:01See?
00:16:02My brilliant plan work
00:16:07Wait, how did I?
00:16:10Sir
00:16:10Sir, our new project in Singapore has been blooming
00:16:13I mean, we have some meetings for you to attend to discuss our future plans with the board members
00:16:18Sir?
00:16:23You okay?
00:16:26You okay?
00:16:26I changed me
00:16:27Jesus Christ
00:16:28You okay?
00:16:30Yeah, I'm fine
00:16:31Continue
00:16:32Okay
00:16:32So, the meeting
00:16:34Singapore
00:16:42Myla
00:16:43Stay on your side
00:16:49Myla
00:16:51Myla
00:16:53Myla
00:17:07Myla
00:17:08Myla
00:17:19Myla
00:17:24Myla
00:17:25Myla
00:17:42Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:17:47Okay, maintain control.
00:17:54Oh, that's cold, that's cold.
00:18:07Sorry, didn't see you.
00:18:09It's hard to notice the help.
00:18:14Ah.
00:18:16My brother's mysterious fiancée.
00:18:20Mrs. Crawford.
00:18:22Catherine, we're family now, supposedly.
00:18:35Tell me, dear, how did you meet Adrienne?
00:18:41Through mutual friends.
00:18:42Really?
00:18:44Mutual friends.
00:18:47Pray tell, what mutual friend would Adrienne possibly have in your social circle?
00:18:55Unless, of course, it was a business arrangement.
00:18:58I'm sorry.
00:19:04A girl in your position surely would have negotiated.
00:19:10The 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 Adrienne's fiancée, would be expected to attend.
00:19:26I'd be honored.
00:19:27I'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.
00:19:54I need to clean.
00:19:56Oh, of course.
00:19:57Let me just get my stuff out of your way.
00:20:01Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:07How creative.
00:20:09It must be harder than your family watching you change a rich man.
00:20:13As a maid, maybe you should just focus on your own job.
00:20:15My business is none of your concern.
00:20:21Oh, how clumsy of me.
00:20:26Stop it!
00:20:28I don't really have a team.
00:20:30You could just marry a rich man.
00:20:31You're just trash trying to climb a social ladder.
00:20:35Hey!
00:20:36Mr. Crawford!
00:20:39She was trying to attack me.
00:20:44I'm just trying to help her.
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.
00:21:03Lali, you don't have to.
00:21:04Please.
00:21:07I need some time alone.
00:21:09No, you stay.
00:21:10I'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,
00:21:27I won't let the words get to me.
00:21:29I promise.
00:21:37Lali, what happened?
00:21:41What should I do?
00:21:54How's the happy couple today?
00:22:03This 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.
00:22:23I'll be here for a second.
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 water paper?
00:22:49Do we need?
00:22:49No need.
00:22:50Just head to the collection room and use your hand.
00:22:53Okay.
00:22:54Okay.
00:23:15And pretend she's not right out that door.
00:23:21Mr. Crawford, are you all right in there?
00:23:26I'm fine.
00:23:27I just need some assistance.
00:23:32Oh, do you need help?
00:23:34No, wait.
00:23:35I didn't mean...
00:23:36Are you sure?
00:23:36I can come in there.
00:23:45Okay.
00:23:46Come in.
00:24:07Helpful.
00:24:13I'm going to go.
00:24:16I'm going to go so far away.
00:24:19Helpful.
00:24:34Are you okay?
00:24:36Dr. Anderson said the hormone shots might hurt a little bit.
00:24:39You're in pain.
00:24:41It's just some discomfort.
00:24:42It'll pass.
00:24:42I'll be okay.
00:24:44Okay.
00:24:49Here, this should help.
00:25:08Um, well, the hormone shots were part of the agreement.
00:25:12So any resulting discomfort is technically a work-related issue.
00:25:16And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:57Purely professional care.
00:26:25Adrian, wait. About this weekend.
00:26:27Sorry, emergency in Atlanta. The merger's falling apart.
00:26:30But...
00:26:30Thompson, have the jet ready in 20.
00:26:33Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:34Now you know what?
00:26:36I can do it myself.
00:26:41I don't suppose that we could expect punctuality from someone who has never owned a watch in
00:26:48her entire life.
00:26:51I introduced him to the Thompson Arons.
00:26:54Senator Stolter.
00:26:55I don't know why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:27:01Ethan, what did you say that she does? A fashion designer?
00:27:06Worse.
00:27:08Seamstress.
00:27:09She probably thinks having the proper family do her name will raise her to the top and
00:27:14then she can have her own fashion show.
00:27:16She's poor. Fine.
00:27:18But no sense of time either.
00:27:21I need to have a serious talk with Adrian.
00:27:23Probably just stinging through her wardrobe. Can't find something to wear.
00:27:27A fashion designer scrounging around for an outfit. How ironic.
00:27:32Maybe her designs are just too embarrassing to be seen in public.
00:27:36Okay. But seriously. I mean, I do pity her, right?
00:27:42Her worthless clothing and our beautiful home. I mean, it must be incredibly humiliating.
00:27:51Go get her now.
00:27:56And I lay down
00:27:58Everything
00:28:01Every part of me
00:28:13Apologies for the delay.
00:28:24My, my, my, my
00:28:26Trying hard to get the part
00:28:29James
00:28:30Make sure
00:28:32None of the silver is missing after dinner
00:28:37At least we know that
00:28:40Adrian's credit card is being put to good use
00:28:44Although money can buy you designer clothing
00:28:48It can't buy you a good upbringing
00:28:51Actually, I made the dress myself
00:28:53The little seamstress that you are
00:28:55How quaint
00:28:57At least we know who will be darning
00:29:00Adrian sucks
00:29:04You know, I wasn't brought up into wealth
00:29:06But I was raised with something far more valuable
00:29:09Integrity
00:29:11Integrity
00:29:12Is that what you call
00:29:14Seducing your way into our family?
00:29:21How much?
00:29:23How much would it take for you to disappear?
00:29:27Name your price
00:29:28Mr. Crawford
00:29:29I believe that's the difference between you and me
00:29:31I don't think everything can be bought
00:29:33Excuse me
00:29:48Stay calm
00:29:50You got this
00:29:51All dressed up for me, baby
00:30:00I need to get back to dinner
00:30:01What's the rush?
00:30:02We're all family here
00:30:06Almost family
00:30:07Don't touch me
00:30:08You used to like it when I touched you
00:30:11Remember how shy you were?
00:30:12Always saying no
00:30:13Let go of me, you creep
00:30:15Right?
00:30:16Careful now
00:30:16One scream and everyone at dinner
00:30:18Will find out what kind of a girl you really are
00:30:20And her love history
00:30:23Oh, come on
00:30:34Is everything okay?
00:30:36You look a bit flustered
00:30:45Stop it
00:30:47Something wrong with us, are you?
00:30:57Enough
00:30:58No manners
00:30:59No class
00:31:01I don't know how you managed to seduce my son
00:31:03Someone like you
00:31:04Never deserve a place in this family
00:31:08I'm the one that told her to stay here and be with me
00:31:18Adrian
00:31:19If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me
00:31:24You want to know how we met?
00:31:26She crashed into my life
00:31:28Quite literally
00:31:29She's brave
00:31:31It's just a love letter in her hand
00:31:32She confessed to me right there at the hospital
00:31:36She's not into money
00:31:37Even if someone dropped a million dollars at her feet
00:31:39She wouldn't have been blank
00:31:42For carrying my child
00:31:44I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford
00:31:47Not somebody else's
00:31:49And she's tough
00:31:50Even after everything you did to humiliate her
00:31:53She didn't walk away in anger
00:31:55And she's still here
00:31:56I thought you were supposed to be in Atlanta
00:31:58How did you?
00:32:01Sir, two things
00:32:03First, your mother's invited Mrs. Crawford to the family dinner
00:32:05Second, the daddy's ready
00:32:07We can go now
00:32:12Cancel Atlanta
00:32:13But, but, but, but, sir, is that the mer-
00:32:15The voice so soft and strong
00:32:17Merger
00:32:18Yes, sir
00:32:32What a touching story, uncle
00:32:34Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both
00:32:39What are you talking about?
00:32:42We've been dating for three years
00:32:44See?
00:32:54So, clearly she planned all this
00:32:56Dated me first to get to know the family
00:32:59And now, well, set her sights higher
00:33:02Manipulative little-
00:33:03Face it, uncle
00:33:04You're just another step on her ladder to the top
00:33:08Who knows how many men she's slept with already, right?
00:33:12You're right
00:33:14We did date for three years
00:33:15But you were cheating on me
00:33:17For two of them
00:33:21What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:24Nudes?
00:33:27What kind of pictures do you take with your secret girls?
00:33:30Nudes?
00:33:30Or do you record videos?
00:33:37That was for every lie you just told
00:33:39You Lila
00:33:42How dare you, Adrian, hit my son
00:33:48Lila
00:33:51Where do you think you're going?
00:33:52We're not finished yet
00:33:56Yes, we are
00:34:01I'm sorry, I should have never left you alone with my family
00:34:04It's okay
00:34:06Thank you
00:34:07Thank you for coming back
00:34:09And for all the kind lies you said about us
00:34:14What happened to your hands?
00:34:16Oh, I was fixing the hemline
00:34:18And I can get kind of clumsy with the needles
00:34:21Lila
00:34:21Sit down, let me have a look at that
00:34:24Okay
00:34:27Sit down, let me have a look at that
00:34:30Okay
00:34:33As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts
00:34:36I expect you to use them
00:34:39I didn't want to assume
00:34:43You're Crawford now
00:34:47I'd like it
00:34:53Dr. Anderson
00:35:01Mr. Crawford
00:35:03The zygote are ready
00:35:05We can proceed with the implementation tomorrow morning
00:35:07I see, thank you
00:35:10What is it, is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:12So I've been thinking
00:35:14Perhaps we could approach this in a more
00:35:17Natural manner
00:35:19That's how it's been
00:35:25So, what do you think?
00:35:28Can't afford to let you in
00:35:32Um, we should probably get some sleep
00:35:36You know, the procedure
00:35:38Oh
00:35:40Good night, Mr. Crawford
00:35:54You don't need to be so nervous
00:35:55Mr. Crawford, try to relax
00:35:58Can I open up this window?
00:36:00It might feel a bit cold
00:36:08That white little spot?

01:10:45Beautiful.
01:10:50Yeah, it is.
01:10:59Milo, were you?
01:11:02Yes, of 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'll have to ask my wife.
01:12:23What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:12:30First order of business today.
01:12:34What is this?
01:12:35Starting without me.
01:12:36Perfect timing.
01:12:37I was just announcing your termination.
01:12:41The company crisis last month turns out wasn't an accident.
01:12:45Ethan, Ethan 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.
01:13:12What?
01:13:13You actually did this?
01:13:16No, Grandpa.
01:13:17He's lying. It's all a lie.
01:13:20Dad.
01:13:21Dad, either you let me handle this my way, or I can still walk.
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.
01:13:55Don'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?
01:14:03My fucking company.
01:14:05Come back.
01:14:10The baby's asleep.
01:14:13Guess that means I get you all to myself.
01:14:17Don't distract me.
01:14:18I'm almost finished.
01:14:21I'm designing my wedding dress.
01:14:23Incredible.
01:14:25I might hire you to design my tux.
01:14:29You know, I think I'm going to have to check my schedule.
01:14:33Oh, it's like that.
01:14:37I still can't believe we're getting married.
01:14:40Ever since you crashed into me at the hospital,
01:14:42I haven't been able to get you out of my head.
01:14:44And soon I'll be able to love you openly.
01:14:48And officially for the rest of my life.
01:14:51Uh, practicing your vows?
01:14:53Yeah.
01:14:57Can we practice the kiss as well?
01:15:00If we have to.
01:15:00Yeah.
01:15:14Your father said no fiance by Christmas.
01:15:17No inheritance.
01:15:19Do you really want to give all that up?
01:15:26Everybody?
01:15:27This is my new girlfriend.
01:15:30You didn't tell me your parents were this rich.
01:15:34I brought you all a basket from the Miller farm.
01:15:37A bottom.
01:15:37How do you know, I?
01:15:37You still have to be easy.
