00:00:01Three years. Three years I've loved him.
00:00:05Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:00:08That a man like him only loves himself.
00:00:12But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:00:15I know he loves me.
00:00:17Thank you so much. I really, really appreciate it.
00:00:22Tonight, it will be our big night.
00:00:24And I'll give him all of me.
00:00:26We'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:00:30A family of our own.
00:00:44I'm so sorry.
00:00:57Oh!
00:01:00Heh heh heh.
00:01:04Hehehe hehehe.
00:01:07Hehehe hehehe.
00:01:09Oh, my God.
00:01:59Oh, my God.
00:02:02Marla, you're early.
00:02:06Why so shocked, babe?
00:02:07You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:02:13Come and join us.
00:02:19Three years.
00:02:21Three years.
00:02:22I wasted on you.
00:02:24God, I'm such an idiot.
00:02:27I was thinking I was going to have a baby with you.
00:02:33Baby, sweetheart, you wouldn't even put out after three years and now you're thinking
00:02:37about playing mommy.
00:02:41Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs, these lovely ladies can show you
00:02:48how it's done.
00:02:50Screw you.
00:03:02I'm not going to let you take this from me, too.
00:03:08You know what?
00:03:10I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:03:13One appointment, one sperm donor, I can have a baby of my own.
00:03:25Six months to produce an heir or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:03:31Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:03:35The surrogate candidates are all, for all words, so Ivy League are educated, impeccable health
00:03:41histories.
00:03:41I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:03:44I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:03:46Find me someone who knows their place and will disappear after delivery.
00:04:33Miss, I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:34Are you here for the interview?
00:04:37The interview?
00:04:39Yes, of course.
00:04:49Please sit.
00:04:56Right, let's get started.
00:05:01Hey, um, education background.
00:05:05Excuse me?
00:05:06And I'm going to need a full medical history, specifically genetic disorders.
00:05:12Do you work out?
00:05:14I mean, you look acceptable.
00:05:20Hmm.
00:05:24Do you have any idea who I am?
00:05:28I'm just trying to be thorough.
00:05:30It's about creating a healthy baby after all.
00:05:34I are attractive men, so full of themselves.
00:05:39I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:05:42I need to know your reproductive history.
00:05:44So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:05:48It's a craft novel.
00:05:50I can't show her out.
00:05:52Thompson, leave us.
00:05:57What are you doing?
00:05:59Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:06:10Harvard Business School, MBA, top of class.
00:06:13No family history of genetic disorders.
00:06:16I work you out five times a week.
00:06:19As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:06:29Now Thompson is gone, are you comfortable to share yours?
00:06:33Um, yes.
00:06:35Of course.
00:06:36Um, I'm perfectly healthy too.
00:06:41No genetic disorders, and I get regular checkups.
00:06:45Um, I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:06:50You really do seem like the perfect match.
00:06:54Good.
00:06:55Now, regarding compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
00:07:01Well, I was thinking around $800.
00:07:06$800.
00:07:07I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:07:13I know, I know it's not a lot of money, but considering the quality, um, I could, I can help,
00:07:20I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:07:22Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:07:32All of this?
00:07:33Seriously?
00:07:35Take your time to review, but the key point is after birth, the child stays with me.
00:07:42No contact.
00:07:44You want to keep my baby?
00:07:46Are you insane?
00:07:53That's standard procedure for surrogacy arrangements.
00:07:56Surrogacy?
00:07:57Surrogacy.
00:07:58The position you're interviewing for.
00:08:00Interview?
00:08:02I'm hit by sperm.
00:08:04You came to what?
00:08:06Uh, I thought you were a donor.
00:08:08That's why I was asking you all the questions about the history and stuff.
00:08:12I thought you were here to be my surrogate.
00:08:15Right.
00:08:16Um, well, I guess, I guess I've, um, made a mistake, so I'm just gonna go.
00:08:21Wait!
00:08:25A million dollars.
00:08:27For carrying my child.
00:08:30I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:08:33Not somebody else's.
00:08:37Ah.
00:08:38You might need that.
00:08:46Clean this up.
00:08:48Bring in the next.
00:08:56Hello?
00:08:57Miss Reed.
00:08:58Your father.
00:08:59You need to come now.
00:09:01Okay.
00:09:02I'm coming here.
00:09:23Doctor, how is he?
00:09:24How is my father?
00:09:26The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:09:29Uh, then, then do something.
00:09:31Save him.
00:09:33Is there, is there a treatment you can do?
00:09:35Uh, there is a new treatment.
00:09:37Okay, then, then let's do it.
00:09:39But maybe it's, uh, quite expensive.
00:09:41How much?
00:09:42Around one million dollars.
00:09:45A million dollars?
00:09:46Yes.
00:09:48Can I get a, a loan or something?
00:09:51Actually, this is a new technology.
00:09:52And there is no loan policy.
00:09:55Sorry.
00:09:55I'm sorry.
00:10:34this is the last batch yes sir the blonde want to know about ring sizes and brunette
00:10:43asked about moving in and the redhead all of them want the Crawford name it's qualified

00:11:35about yesterday I may have been a bit hasty you're reconsidering don't sound so smug about
00:11:42it I have my reasons as do I I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms
00:11:52what kind of modification joint custody you wouldn't be just carrying the child you'd be
00:11:59the baby's mother why would you agree to that you're honest direct no hidden agenda qualities

00:18:47Oh!
00:19:01Sorry.
00:19:02Didn't see you there.
00:19:07You're always in the way.
00:19:11Ah!
00:19:12My brother's mysterious fiancé.
00:19:15Mrs. Crawford.
00:19:17Catherine, please.
00:19:18We're family now.
00:19:20Supposedly.
00:19:22Helen, tea, please.
00:19:24Yes, Mrs. Crawford?
00:19:28I don't think you're a little bit.
00:19:29So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrienne meet exactly?
00:19:33Through mutual friends.
00:19:37Oh, really? Mutual friends?
00:19:42Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:19:48Unless this is more of a business arrangement?
00:19:52I'm sorry?
00:19:53Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved?
00:19:59The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:20:12Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancée, your presence is required.
00:20:20I'd be honored.
00:20:23Perfect. I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:20:30You can go now.
00:20:43Excuse me, Miss Ri. I need to clean.
00:20:45Of course. Let me just move this.
00:20:52Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:56How creative.
00:20:58Must be hiding your family, watching you chase after rich men.
00:21:03Let me help you with this.
00:21:05My friends!
00:21:07How clumsy of me.
00:21:09You did that on purpose.
00:21:11Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:21:13You're just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:21:20Mr. Crawford! She just attacked me!
00:21:26I was trying to help with the-
00:21:28Get out!
00:21:28But I was just-
00:21:30One more word and you're fired.
00:21:33Get out!
00:21:41What happened?
00:21:42Nothing.
00:21:43I need some space.
00:21:45I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:21:46Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:21:48I need some space.
00:21:52You take the bed.
00:21:53I'll take the sofa.
00:21:56I miss you so much, Daddy.
00:21:58Don't worry about me, okay?
00:22:00As long as we can get you better,
00:22:02I won't let their words get to me.
00:22:04I promise.
00:22:06Lila, what happened?
00:22:08What should I do?
00:22:22How's the happy couple?
00:22:32Oh, that's awkward.
00:22:37Just a small thing.
00:22:38Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:22:41It's okay.
00:22:42I'm here.
00:22:44You're safe.
00:22:47Perfect timing for the injection.
00:23:32Focus.
00:23:33This is just a simple medical procedure.
00:23:38Okay.
00:23:39Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:23:45Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:23:48Um, yeah, I'm fine.
00:23:50I just need some assistance.
00:23:53Oh, do you need my help?
00:23:55No, uh, I didn't mean-
00:23:57Are you sure?
00:23:57Honestly, it's fine.
00:23:58I can come in if you need me to.
00:24:02Come in.
00:24:11What's up?
00:24:13You wanna help?
00:24:14Of course.
00:24:15What, what do you need me to?
00:24:20Oh, you're-
00:24:22Oh, you're-
00:24:23Oh, you're-
00:24:23I'm-
00:24:24I'm so sorry.
00:24:25I didn't-
00:24:25I didn't realize.
00:24:26I'm just-
00:24:27I'm just gonna-
00:24:28Just go somewhere.
00:24:29Somewhere.
00:24:30I just need you.
00:24:31Somewhere very far.
00:24:36Well, that was helpful.
00:24:43Are you okay?
00:24:45Yeah.
00:24:46Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's-
00:24:49It's causing you pain.
00:24:50Yeah, it's-
00:24:51It's a little uncomfortable.
00:24:53But I mean, it will-
00:24:53It will pass.
00:24:56Here.
00:24:59Okay.
00:25:12Thanks.
00:25:17Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement.
00:25:20And any resulting pain is technically a work-related issue.
00:25:23And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:28Okay.
00:25:33Okay.
00:25:41Okay.
00:25:43Okay.
00:25:45Okay.
00:25:54Okay.
00:25:55Purely professional care.
00:26:05Purely professional, huh?
00:26:16Adrian.
00:26:19Um, about this weekend.
00:26:21I'm sorry.
00:26:22There's an emergency in Atlanta.
00:26:23The merge is falling apart.
00:26:25Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:26:28Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:31Guess I'll handle it on my own.
00:26:37Well, I don't suppose we should expect punctuality from a person who's probably never had a proper watch in her
00:26:43life.
00:26:44I introduce him to the Lawson Harris, the Senator's daughter.
00:26:49I don't understand why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:26:53What did you say she did, Ethan?
00:26:56Retail?
00:26:57Worse.
00:26:58A wannabe writer.
00:27:00She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:27:03Hmm.
00:27:07Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:27:10I had the chef prepare her place setting and everything.
00:27:13She probably couldn't figure out which work to do, though.
00:27:28I apologize for the slight delay.
00:27:33My, my.
00:27:34Trying so hard to look the part.
00:27:38James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner.
00:27:42I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:27:46And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breeding.
00:27:50Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:27:56Oh, darling.
00:27:58A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:28:02How quaint.
00:28:04At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian's socks.
00:28:09I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable.
00:28:16Integrity.
00:28:17Integrity.
00:28:18Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:28:23How much, how much will it take you to disappear in your price?
00:28:32The difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford, is that I don't think that everything comes with a price tag.
00:28:40Excuse me.
00:28:49Stay calm.
00:28:53You can do this.
00:28:59Getting all dressed up for me.
00:29:02Baby.
00:29:06What's the rush?
00:29:08We're all family here.
00:29:10Well, almost family.
00:29:12Don't touch me.
00:29:14You used to like it when I touched you.
00:29:16Remember how shy you were?
00:29:19Always saying no.
00:29:21Lance, off me! Backer!
00:29:23Careful, though.
00:29:25One scream from you and everyone at dinner is going to know what kind of girl you really are.
00:29:31Now, where were we?
00:29:41Everything alright, dear?
00:29:43You look flushed.
00:29:45So...
00:29:46As I was saying about...
00:29:51Stop it!
00:29:53Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:29:55Stop it!
00:29:59Enough!
00:30:00No class?
00:30:02No manners?
00:30:03I don't know how you seduced my son,
00:30:06but someone like you could never deserve a place in this family!
00:30:11I...
00:30:12I'm the one who pursued her.
00:30:19Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:30:25Adrian...
00:30:25If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:30:28You wanna know how we met?
00:30:29She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:30:32Papers flying, coffee spilled.
00:30:34Unlike some people, she didn't care about my name or my money.
00:30:40She, uh...
00:30:41Refused me several times.
00:30:43Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:30:45First woman who dared stand out to me.
00:30:48And that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:30:55Sir, two things.
00:30:56Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner.
00:30:59And your jet is ready.
00:31:00We can go now.
00:31:06Cancel it, Lance.
00:31:07What's the merger?
00:31:10Yes, sir.
00:31:12It's funny that last week's family dinners were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:31:21Something's more important than business.
00:31:27Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:31:31Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:31:37What are you talking about?
00:31:39We've been dating for three years.
00:31:42I have pictures of us together.
00:31:48What?
00:31:50She probably planned this from the start.
00:31:52Dating me to get close to the family, then setting her sights higher.
00:31:57You manipulative little trick.
00:31:59Face it, Uncle.
00:32:00You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:32:05Face it, Uncle.
00:32:07You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:32:14That's for every lie you just told.
00:32:19Adrian!
00:32:20How dare you hit my son!
00:32:22Where do you think you're going? We are not finished here yet!
00:32:25Yes, we are.
00:32:31I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:32:34Thank you for coming back.
00:32:36And for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:32:43Your hands, what happened?
00:33:00As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:33:04I expect you to use them.
00:33:05I... I didn't want to presume.
00:33:08You're a Crawford now.
00:33:20Dr. Anderson.
00:33:21Mr. Crawford.
00:33:22The embryos are ready, so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:33:27I see.
00:33:31What is it?
00:33:32Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:33:34I've been thinking.
00:33:36Perhaps we should approach this matter in a more natural manner.
00:33:43Between the husband and wife.
00:33:47What are your thoughts?
00:33:51I think that we should go to bed.
00:33:55We have a really big day tomorrow.
00:33:59So...
00:34:00I mean...
00:34:01Goodnight.
00:34:07You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit.
00:34:12Focus on the procedure.
00:34:15Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:34:24There.
00:34:25See that white spot?
00:34:29That's her baby.
00:34:36You know, I can walk.
00:34:38Doctor's orders?
00:34:39You seem more nervous than I do.
00:34:45I'm merely following medical procedure.
00:34:57Look at her.
00:34:59She's acting like a princess.
00:35:02She was probably a waitress last week.
00:35:06Now she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:35:12hey,
00:35:27we were making retops.
00:35:27It was fantastic.
00:35:27one or two Random meno peogle,
00:35:28groups are dying for the Red Sea.
00:35:28You're losing sight?
00:35:29No.
00:35:34Intelli교!
00:35:35No!
00:35:45Adrian!
00:35:46Hmm, not quite.
00:35:47Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:35:49Let go of me!
00:35:51Come on, you used to love being in my arms.
00:35:54Remember how we would spend hours at the cafe?
00:35:58You would lean into me while reading your favorite book?
00:36:01Did she?
00:36:04Adrian!
00:36:05I was just getting food, I swear.
00:36:11Get out!
00:36:17Stomach.
00:36:18Lila, what's wrong?
00:36:19My stomach, I think that there's something wrong.
00:36:21If anything, anything happens to my fiancée or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:36:28And you, what you want.
00:36:32You will never have.
00:36:34Never.
00:36:40Child.
00:36:41Three years she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:36:44And a few weeks with my uncle, and she's carrying his child.
00:36:49You want the perfect family?
00:36:51Well, it's not going to happen.
00:37:06Thompson, clear my schedule.
00:37:08Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:37:10Sir, what happened?
00:37:11Do you need my help?
00:37:12You can't help on this one.
00:37:14Just do what I say.
00:37:17You and Ethan, you've never really gotten along, have you?
00:37:24Why is that?
00:37:31You seem very concerned about him.
00:37:34I just...
00:37:35Just get some rest.
00:37:36It's been a rough day for you.
00:37:38Adrian, why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:37:42No reason.
00:37:44I just know you're not like that.
00:37:46Thanks.
00:37:47Get some rest.
00:37:49Do whatever makes you comfortable.
00:37:51Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:37:53Anything I want?
00:37:55Are you sure about that?
00:38:10What the...
00:38:23What are you doing?
00:38:25This isn't nutritious.
00:38:27The baby wants chocolate.
00:38:30The baby wants chocolate.
00:38:32Yeah.
00:38:33And chips and ice cream.
00:38:36You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you?
00:38:39I've been researching optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:38:43See, week by week guidelines.
00:38:45Okay, okay, okay.
00:38:46How about a compromise?
00:38:49One treat per day.
00:38:51Half a treat.
00:38:53Three quarters.
00:38:55One treat.
00:39:16Congratulations.
00:39:18The fetus is developing perfectly.
00:39:21Really?
00:39:23Everything looks wonderful.
00:39:25Now that we're in the stable period,
00:39:27I would recommend you starting some prenatal exercise.
00:39:31What kind of exercise?
00:39:35Now, hold her from behind in a maternal pose.
00:39:45Maybe we should skip this part.
00:39:47I'm here to drink. Let's do it properly.
00:39:50Guide your arms up.
00:40:00This is a little intimate.
00:40:03And now, the supporting stretch.
00:40:13Ah, I'm here to drink.
00:40:17Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:40:22Maybe we should continue this album.
00:40:24Yeah, please.

00:47:04The eggs are still warm.
00:47:07I apologize about last night.
00:47:09I was just worried about you.
00:47:13Worried about me or worried about the baby?
00:47:19What do you mean?
00:47:21Is this why you're being so nice to me?
00:47:24Making me breakfast, being all protective?
00:47:28It's just for the baby?
00:47:31Lila, you've been so strange since yesterday. Why?
00:47:36Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:47:43Yes.
00:47:51And then she got with Ethan?
00:47:55Yes.
00:47:57Okay, so I'm just...
00:47:59Vivian and I were...
00:48:06Sir, the Singapore version is falling apart.
00:48:08We need to immediately.
00:48:09I'm in the middle of summer.
00:48:11The board is threatening to pull out.
00:48:14I'll be there.
00:48:21We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back.
00:48:24Of course.
00:48:25Business first.
00:48:31Lila.
00:48:32Just go.
00:48:44Sir, there have been complications.
00:48:47Explain.
00:48:48During your absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members, suggesting your sudden marriage plans indicate unstable decision-making.
00:48:57Several executors are questioning if someone so personally distracted should and hurt the company.
00:49:23Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing my personal life.
00:49:26Your sudden access has let me be very clear.
00:49:34This company took a 40% profit loss before I took over.
00:49:40Within three years, I tripled our market share.
00:49:43Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge, my execution, my strategies.
00:49:51So yes, I am getting married.
00:49:54And yes, I took some time off.
00:49:56And no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:50:05Because without me, there wouldn't be a company left to me.
00:50:13Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:50:25I'll tell you something.
00:50:27What's up for me?
00:50:34Thanks.
00:50:57Adrian, what the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:51:02I was doing my job.
00:51:03Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:51:08Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:51:15You leave Lila out of this.
00:51:16You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:51:20Yeah, run along.
00:51:21Adults are talking business now.
00:51:24We just need to bore him for a moment, dear.
00:51:26Business matters.
00:51:27You wouldn't understand.
00:51:35That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:51:44She's nothing but a broodmare.
00:51:47After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:51:52Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:51:56Someone like me.
00:51:57Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:52:03Non-negotiable.
00:52:04She will follow you every day, just like before.
00:52:07And your little pet project can't stay home and just state that's all she's good for.
00:52:16Get out!
00:52:17Both of you!
00:52:18How dare you!
00:52:19If you dare mention my wife's name again, I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground
00:52:24before either of you get to touch it!
00:52:26Adrian!
00:52:27Be reasonable!
00:52:28She is worth a thousand to you.
00:52:32Tomorrow, 9am, Vivian starts.
00:52:35No discussion.
00:52:38Is that all?
00:52:39Yes, for now.
00:52:41But don't disappoint me again.
00:52:46On the other mind!
00:53:03Alright, I am dying.
00:53:18Stop it! Stop checking. This is ridiculous. I was independent before. I don't need a man
00:53:29to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep. No! I'm not going to be that
00:53:37girl. I can make my own meals. I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his
00:53:47nutritional spreadsheets. A broodmare. Way to get back at Ethan.
00:54:03Follow! I'm fine! You're not fine. Hospital. Now! I'm fine!
00:54:22Thanks. I know we've had our differences but I really appreciated you today.
00:54:29You know, you used to look at me like that. All sweet. Sincere.
00:54:36Don't. Why not? Is there really no chance for us?
00:54:41Ethan. Lila, he's just using you. You're his revenge against me. A tool. And you deserve better than that.
00:54:54Adrian! Stop! What are you doing? I'm protecting you.
00:54:59From what? He's helping. He brought me here. My hand was bleeding.
00:55:02So now you're defending him. No, I'm defending the truth. Sometimes, I guess people surprise you.
00:55:11I see.
00:55:13Adrian.
00:55:15I'll call the doctor to come.
00:55:20I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OBGYN down immediately.
00:55:25Sir, it's just a minor car. I want a full prenatal checkup.
00:55:29I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson. He's going to be down here in ten minutes.
00:55:33Always so controlled. Aren't you, Uncle? Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:55:42Remember our beach dates? How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:55:52Thompson, bring in the catering. The Michelin star one. Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:56:00Oh, well done. No sauce.
00:56:03I don't think that I did say...
00:56:05How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:56:08Pride and Prejudice. BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:56:11She likes to watch it when she's still stressed.
00:56:14Which is why I upgraded out home to your system.
00:56:17To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:56:20You did what?
00:56:21Wow!
00:56:25Using money to get to her heart.
00:56:27Huh, Uncle?
00:56:32The Alzheimer's Wings fully renovated. Named after Lila's grandmother.
00:56:37As she mentioned.
00:56:38Oh, it's fully funded. Anonymous donor.
00:56:42Hmm.
00:56:47He may be able to offer you money, but you're gonna miss this.
00:57:04Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:57:07Just my mom.
00:57:10I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins. They should arrive shortly.
00:57:13They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:57:17Wow. You remembered all that about me.
00:57:20I remember everything about you.
00:57:25Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:57:31Hey, I'm sure how you do this.
00:57:32Guys. She's tired. We should leave. Let her rest.
00:57:43Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:57:46Or does he actually care?
00:58:04Yes, father?
00:58:06Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:58:09Overwork, they say, from cleaning up your company's mess.
00:58:13I have meetings.
00:58:14Cancel them!
00:58:15Go to visit her right now.
00:58:18Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you,
00:58:22or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
00:58:42You came.
00:58:46Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
00:58:50Still so cold.
00:58:52Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was unwell?
00:58:56That was a long time ago.
00:58:59We were really great together, Adrian.
00:59:01We could be together again.
00:59:03I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
00:59:06What we had, I never took it as seriously as you pretended to.
00:59:12But Lila, she's different.
00:59:14She's real.
00:59:16A pregnant gold digger isn't real?
00:59:19Please.
00:59:26I guess some things never change.
00:59:32Watch your words.
00:59:34Stay away from my wife.
00:59:45My little girl.
00:59:47Daddy.
00:59:48Hello.
00:59:50Your hand.
00:59:52Your hand.
00:59:52It's nothing.
00:59:55I need to tell you something.
00:59:58I'm gonna be a mother.
01:00:00Is it that Ethan boys?
01:00:01No.
01:00:02No.
01:00:03Then who?
01:00:04It doesn't matter.
01:00:05But what does matter is that this is my baby.
01:00:09And I'm gonna love them so much.
01:00:12With all the love that you gave me.
01:00:16Baby.
01:00:18I'm so sorry.
01:00:20I'm sorry I couldn't, couldn't give you better.
01:00:24Daddy.
01:00:25If only I were healthy.
01:00:26If I could work.
01:00:27Daddy, don't.
01:00:30But the hospital bills.
01:00:32What are you getting money for?
01:00:34Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:00:37No, no.
01:00:38It's not like that.
01:00:39Did someone take advantage of you?
01:00:41My little girl pregnant all alone?
01:00:44She's not alone.
01:00:49Hi, Mr. Reid.
01:00:50I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:00:55I'm the father of her child.
01:00:58Adriana.
01:00:59I'm not just the father.
01:01:00I'm the man who's gonna spend the rest of his life making sure your daughter and our child get everything
01:01:05they deserve.
01:01:06Pretty words from a rich man.
01:01:09Not words. Facts.
01:01:11I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:01:14Full treatment plan, best specialists.
01:01:17Adriana.
01:01:18And I promise you this.
01:01:21Every morning, she's gonna wake up knowing that she is cherished.
01:01:25Every decision I make, every step I take will be to ensure her happiness.
01:01:30You really mean that, don't you?
01:01:32Yes, sir, I do.
01:01:36Well...
01:01:38Maybe...
01:01:39I can stop worrying now.
01:01:43Maybe...
01:01:48Maybe...
01:01:49Or...
01:01:50What you said in there.
01:01:51I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:01:54No, no, no, no.
01:01:55I wasn't just doing anything.
01:01:57Every word I said in there is true.
01:02:01Adriana...
01:02:06Laila, I need to tell you something.
01:02:09I've been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
01:02:14Yes, we had a contract, but I realized you've become everything to me.
01:02:22You're not my surrogate.
01:02:25You're not my convenient fiancée.
01:02:29You're my partner.
01:02:32If you have me.
01:02:35But what about Ethan and Vivian?
01:02:39What about them?
01:02:42Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan and...
01:02:45Revenge? I never loved Vivian.
01:02:48And Ethan, he's not worth a second thought.
01:02:50Really?
01:02:52Then who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:02:58That was...
01:03:03I was jealous, okay?
01:03:06I thought of you with him.
01:03:09Wow.
01:03:10The great Mr. Crawford.
01:03:12Jealous.
01:03:13Don't mention it.
01:03:14I have a reputation to maintain.
01:03:29I'm not letting you go.
01:03:32Not ever.
01:03:41Surrogacy.
01:03:42Surrogacy.
01:03:43Contract marriage.
01:03:44Oh, this is too perfect.
01:04:13Oh, my God.
01:04:21Whiskey. Neat.
01:04:25What's so urgent?
01:04:26I know something about your little ex-girlfriend that might interest you.
01:04:30Is this about her and my uncle?
01:04:32It's about how she really got pregnant.
01:04:36Your perfect uncle? He hired her.
01:04:39She's just a surrogate.
01:04:41Their whole engagement is a lie.
01:04:45A contract.
01:04:47Hmm. The board would love to hear about this.
01:04:52Next week's family meeting.
01:04:55We'll reveal everything.
01:04:57Until then, let's gather more evidence.
01:05:01And once he's ruined...
01:05:03I'll comfort him.
01:05:05Help him rebuild.
01:05:06He'll remember who he truly belongs with.
01:05:13And Lila?
01:05:15Well, once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:05:18You can have your little toy back.
01:05:23Cheers.
01:05:39Um, Ethan's in meetings all afternoon.
01:05:42That's okay. I don't mind waiting.
01:05:45These documents require his immediate attention.
01:05:52Would you mind getting me some tea, dear?
01:06:00Sorry to see agreements.
01:06:02I'm going to call contracts.
01:06:05Come on.
01:06:07The train's always so organized.
01:06:19He's just a stupid cat.
01:06:34He's just a stupid cat.
01:06:35Attacks me!
01:06:37I need your bathroom.
01:06:40Now!
01:06:48Adrian.
01:06:49I've been waiting for you.
01:06:56You know, if you need an heir, we could make one.
01:07:01Right here.
01:07:03Right now.
01:07:06Lila doesn't have to know.
01:07:08She's already asleep.
01:07:11It could just be our little secret.
01:07:16Here.
01:07:18In the living room.
01:07:21Wherever you want.
01:07:23Someone might see us.
01:07:25Are you scared?
01:07:30I know somewhere more...
01:07:32private.
01:07:40Where are we going?
01:07:42Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:07:45Ladies first.
01:07:51Enjoy the fresh air.
01:07:53Adrian.
01:07:54Adrian.
01:07:55You can't do this to me.
01:07:57I'm a Crawford executor.
01:08:04Stop filming me.
01:08:06This is harassment.
01:08:07I will sue you.
01:08:08I will sue you so hard.
01:08:13Adrian.
01:08:14Adrian.
01:08:15Adrian, let me in.
01:08:23Everyone, this crisis could have destroyed us.
01:08:27But thanks to your tireless efforts, Crawford is stronger than ever.
01:08:33To the best team in the business.
01:08:34To the best team in the business.
01:08:38Though, speaking of tonight's celebration, there's something you all should be prepared
01:08:45for.
01:08:46For what?
01:08:48My uncle is bringing his fiancee tonight.
01:08:52The thing is, her and I were together until very recently.
01:08:59I know, I know, I know.
01:09:02But please, when they arrive, act normal.
01:09:06I couldn't bear any drama.
01:09:08She left you for your uncle.
01:09:11These things happen.
01:09:16Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to my fiancee, Lila Reed.
01:09:20Hello, everybody.
01:09:21It's lovely to meet you all.
01:09:23I need to check some numbers.
01:09:27Did I do something wrong?
01:09:37How are you feeling?
01:09:39Is the morning sickness over yet?
01:09:41I'm fine.
01:09:43You know, I've been worried.
01:09:46All this stress can't be good for the baby.
01:09:50What hospital are you using?
01:09:52I could drive you next time.
01:09:54That's not necessary.
01:09:57Come on.
01:09:58We used to tell each other everything.
01:10:01Just want to make sure you're getting the proper care.
01:10:03If I know her hospital, then I can get her surrogate history.
01:10:08How thoughtful.
01:10:09But Adrian handles all my appointments personally.
01:10:13The real hero of the hour.
01:10:15Wow.
01:10:20Beautiful, isn't she?
01:10:23The type of woman who belongs in Adrian's world.
01:10:27Excuse me.
01:10:29You know how my uncle thinks.
01:10:32Like a chess master.
01:10:34Every piece has its use.
01:10:36Some for business.
01:10:39Others for...
01:10:41You don't know him.
01:10:42Oh, but I do.
01:10:45Adrian Crawford cares exactly about one person.
01:10:48Adrian Crawford.
01:10:50He sees people as investments.
01:10:52Vivian?
01:10:53Perfect for managing the company.
01:10:56You?
01:10:57Well, I think we both know what your role is.
01:11:04He's wrong.
01:11:05He has to be wrong.
01:11:24Everyone in this world has their place.
01:11:27Their purpose.
01:11:30Maybe it's time I found mine again.
01:11:53Baby, when's the last time you ate something?
01:11:55I don't know.
01:11:58Breakfast?
01:11:59Yesterday's breakfast.
01:12:04That's enough for today.
01:12:06Okay.
01:12:10The prenatal instructor said this exercise should help.
01:12:14Okay.
01:12:15Like this?
01:12:17Almost.
01:12:28Um, I think I need a little more instruction.
01:12:53Everything looks perfect.
01:12:55The baby's development's right on track.
01:12:58Really?
01:13:00Really.
01:13:01Now that you're in the stable period,
01:13:04intimate relations is perfectly safe,
01:13:06as long as you're gentle.
01:13:09Just listen to your bodies and...
01:13:11Yes.
01:13:11Ah, thank you.
01:13:12Doctor.
01:13:18Everything will be open.
01:13:31Dr. Anderson.
01:13:40Let's talk about...
01:13:42Adrian Crawford's arrangement.
01:13:45Was it a surrogacy contract?
01:13:50Mr. Harrington.
01:13:52Doctor patient confidentiality.
01:13:54Hmm.
01:13:55I hear that the new hospital complex is looking for department heads.
01:14:01Wouldn't it be a shame if your name was mysteriously removed from the list?
01:14:13Now, about those hospital records.
01:14:33Oh, my God.
01:14:35Oh, my God.
01:14:38Oh, my God.
01:14:46Of Crawford dignity destroyed by tabloid gossip.
01:14:51Oh, my God.
01:14:52I knew that girl was hiding something.
01:14:57Did you?
01:14:58Did you really pay some nobody to carry your heir?
01:15:03Tell me it isn't true.
01:15:12You!
01:15:13You! It's your doing!
01:15:16I...
01:15:17Adrian!
01:15:20I need to discuss something with you.
01:15:22Privately.
01:15:28Adrian, I can make all of this disappear.
01:15:32All you have to do is remember who you really belong with.
01:15:35Who I belong with.
01:15:36We were good together.
01:15:38We can't be again.
01:15:40Give me the position I deserve.
01:15:43As Mrs. Crawford by your side.
01:15:46I do need your help.
01:15:48Please, never show up again.
01:16:05I won't let them hurt you.
01:16:08It's not me I'm worried about.
01:16:10If they expose the truth about our arrangement, you could lose everything.
01:16:17Nothing's more important than you and our child.
01:16:19Time to go.
01:16:24L engineers.
01:16:27I take him out.
01:16:38Emergency family meeting will come to order.
01:16:42I have proof. Miss Reed is not Adrienne's loving bride-to-be. She's just a surrogate, paid to carry the
01:16:53Crawford heir.
01:16:56I have proof too. Medical records from Crawford Medical Center showing that Miss Reed underwent fertility treatment, for which she
01:17:05was generously compensated.
01:17:09Paid surrogacy. How common?
01:17:13Alright fine, you want the truth? Yes, it started with a surrogacy.
01:17:19But Lilo, she's the woman I chose to be the mother of my child. And I won't let anyone here
01:17:25slander her.
01:17:27You want this arrangement? Fine. But then, it costs you everything.
01:17:36Resign from the company, give up your inheritance.
01:17:40The child can save the family, of course.
01:17:43But the mother, well, her services won't be required after delivery.
01:17:53Yes, I did the IVF treatment. But I never, never saw this baby as a business transaction.
01:18:06You know what? You can say whatever you want about me. But don't you dare question my love for this
01:18:13child.
01:18:15But don't you dare question my love for this child.
01:18:23But don't you dare question my love for this child.
01:18:26But don't you dare question my love for this child.
01:18:28I'm willing to give up everything. The company, the inheritance, all of it. But I won't give up her.
01:18:36She's my wife. The only one that I will ever want.
01:18:41We're getting married. Properly. Publicly.
01:18:47Fine. If you want to throw away everything for this, for this woman, then you will get nothing from this
01:18:57family.
01:18:57Nothing. Sign it. Renounce your inheritance. All of it.
01:19:06No, no, no, no, no, no. Adrian, stop. I'm not worth losing everything for.
01:19:11You're worth everything.
01:19:15The company, the assets, I built them once. I can build them again. But you.
01:19:22You and our child, they're our real future.
01:19:30Still time to think it over, son.
01:19:40Let's go.
01:20:02Thanks.
01:20:04You've been at this for hours.
01:20:07I just gotta finish this last chapter.
01:20:13I'll get you some food.
01:20:24What do you mean you're cancelling the contract? We've worked together for ten years.
01:20:32No, no, no. Don't call Adrian.
01:20:35Hello?
01:20:36Hello?
01:20:38The Singapore merger just collapsed.
01:20:40They say they'll only work with Adrian.
01:20:42This is all your fault. You and your billion plan to get rid of her.
01:20:45My fault. You're the one who can't handle basic accounting.
01:20:49Enough.
01:20:51The board meeting starts in five minutes.
01:20:53Please tell me you have good news.
01:21:04Oh, my God. This story sounds exactly like a powerful scandal.
01:21:09Wait, is this about the Adrian Crawford?
01:21:14The billionaire say you're giving up everything for love and crying.
01:21:21Is everything okay?
01:21:23I think I just went viral.
01:21:27He figured out stories about us. Look.
01:21:30Should I be concerned about what else you've revealed about me?
01:21:49Have you seen the comments? They're calling us harmless villains!
01:21:54Can't believe they're trying to suppress all true love diseases.
01:21:59Crawford Industries lost my business.
01:22:00Team Adrian all the way.
01:22:04Yes, Penguin Publishing.
01:22:06Sorry, I actually have Random House on the other line, so I'm gonna have to...
01:22:11The movie rights?
01:22:14Um, I'm sorry. I'm gonna have to call you right back.
01:22:17Okay, thank you.
01:22:19The movie rights!
01:22:20Oh, my God.
01:22:21My wife is so popular now.
01:22:23I know.
01:22:28Your father?
01:22:34Son.
01:22:35The board wants you back.
01:22:37Take your position.
01:22:38Your inheritance.
01:22:40I'll have to ask my wife.
01:22:43What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:22:50First order of business.
01:22:51Starting without me.
01:22:53Perfect timing.
01:22:55I'm announcing your termination.
01:22:57You can't fire me.
01:22:59I'm a shareholder and a senior executive.
01:23:02The company crisis last month wasn't an accident.
01:23:05You and Ethan deliberately sabotaged our deal.
01:23:09You can't prove any great email, every call, every secret meeting without editors.
01:23:16All documented.
01:23:17Lawsuit's already been filed.
01:23:19You and Ethan will be hearing from our lawyers.
01:23:31Oh, my God.
01:23:39Adrian.
01:23:41I, uh, I think my water just broke.
01:23:44Yeah.
01:23:45Come home.
01:23:48Mr. Crawford, they vote for new director.
01:23:56For her, he'd drop everything, including a multi-billion dollar gun.
01:24:12Before we vote, there is something you should know.
01:24:16Adrian and Lila were legally married two months ago.
01:24:21And they have my full blessing.
01:24:37Both my girls still awake?
01:24:45I'm just finishing.
01:24:48When that means a lot of people닉.
01:24:48I'm so sorry.
01:24:48I have my own lives here at the beginning of the year.
01:24:49I know.
01:24:50I know.
01:24:50I know.
01:24:53I know.
