00:00:01Three years. Three years I've loved him.
00:00:05Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:00:07That a man like him only loves himself.
00:00:12But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:00:14I 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.
00:01:19I'm so sorry.
00:01:29Oh, my God.
00:02:00Oh, my God.
00:02:02Marla, you're early.
00:02:06Why so shocked, babe?
00:02:08You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:02:13Come and join us.
00:02:19Three years.
00:02:20Three years, I 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.
00:02:32Baby?
00:02:34Sweetheart.
00:02:35You wouldn't even put out after three years and now you're thinking about playing mommy.
00:02:41Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs.
00:02:44These lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:02:49Screw you.
00:03:02I'm not going to let you take this from me, too.
00:03:09You know what?
00:03:09I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:03:12One 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 other words, Ivy League educated, impeccable health histories.
00:03:41I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:03:43I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:03:46Find me someone who knows your place and will disappear after delivery.
00:04:11I need someone who knows your place and will disappear after delivery.
00:04:33Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:04:37The interview?
00:04:39Yes, of course.
00:04:44Yes.
00:04:45Okay.
00:04:50Please, sit.
00:04:56Right, um, 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.
00:05:24Do 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.
00:05:34Why 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?
00:05:49It's a cross-conference.
00:05:50I can't show her out.
00:05:52Thompson, leave us.
00:05:56Look, what are you doing?
00:05:59Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:06:09Harvard Business School.
00:06:11MBA.
00:06:12Top of class.
00:06:13No family history of genetic disorders.
00:06:16I work you out five times a week.
00:06:18As 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.
00:06:34Of course.
00:06:36Um, I'm perfectly healthy, too.
00:06:41No genetic disorders, and I get regular checkups.
00:06:44Um, 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 could help,
00:07:20I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:07:22Talk to me.
00:07:23Bring in the contracts.
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?
00:07:57What's surrogacy?
00:07:58The position you're interviewing for.
00:08:00Interview?
00:08:02I'm hated by sperm.
00:08:04You came to what?
00:08:05Uh, 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.
00:08:36Ah, you might need that.
00:08:46Clean this up.
00:08:48Bring in the next.
00:08:56Hello?
00:08:57Miss Reed, your father.
00:08:59You need to come now.
00:09:01Okay, I'm coming.
00:09:23Doctor, how is he?
00:09:24How is my father?
00:09:26The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:09:29Then do something.
00:09:31Save him.
00:09:33Is there a treatment you can do?
00:09:35Uh, there is a new treatment.
00:09:37Okay, 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.
00:09:53And there is no loan policy.
00:09:54Sorry.
00:09:55Sorry.
00:10:03Are you...
00:10:15Oh!
00:10:16Oh!
00:10:22Yes!
00:10:24No!
00:10:35This is the last batch.
00:10:36Yes sir, the blonde want to know about ring sizes.
00:10:41And Brunette asked about moving in.
00:10:45And the redhead...
00:10:47All of them want the Crawford name.
00:10:49No one's qualified.
00:10:53She was refreshing.
00:10:56No pretense.
00:10:57No schemes.
00:10:59But she wasn't even here for surrogacy.
00:11:03Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job.
00:11:17Hello.
00:11:19I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:11:31I've been thinking.
00:11:35About yesterday. I may have been a bit hasty.
00:11:39You're reconsidering.
00:11:41Don't sound so smug about it. I have my reasons.
00:11:44As do I.
00:11:47I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:11:53What kind of modification?
00:11:55Joint custody.
00:11:56You wouldn't be just carrying the child.
00:11:58You'd be the baby's mother.
00:12:00Why would you agree to that?
00:12:01You're honest.
00:12:03Direct.
00:12:05No hidden agenda.
00:12:07Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:12:09So I'd really get to be a part of the baby's life?
00:12:11Yes.
00:12:12But understand this clearly.
00:12:14We'll be parents.
00:12:15Nothing more.
00:12:16No romantic entanglements.
00:12:20No emotional expectations.
00:12:24Don't flutter yourself.
00:12:26God.
00:12:26Rich man in their egos.
00:12:32Father.
00:12:33The board is getting impatient.
00:12:36Have you considered the arrangements I suggested?
00:12:39I've already made my own plans.
00:12:41Adrian.
00:12:42If you're thinking of using some random surrogate
00:12:46to produce an heir.
00:12:47Forget it.
00:12:48The Crawford name means something.
00:12:51I won't let it be tainted by-
00:12:53I've already chosen my fiance.
00:12:55What?
00:12:56We'll discuss this at dinner.
00:12:59Did I just get promoted from surrogate to fiance?
00:13:07Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just say,
00:13:12just parents, nothing more?
00:13:15The situation requires adaptation.
00:13:20Is that CEO talk for I change my mind?
00:13:23We need a convincing story.
00:13:25You'll be staying at my house during the pregnancy.
00:13:28And after the baby comes?
00:13:29We'll arrange for an amicable separation,
00:13:31continue parenting, and I'll arrange for any additional compensation for the complexity.
00:13:38The original amount is fine, but I am going to need it soon.
00:13:56Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:14:05Wow.
00:14:07I think my whole apartment could fit in this entryway.
00:14:20Well, well, well.
00:14:22Missed me so much, you tracked me down.
00:14:28You can't get over me, huh?
00:14:33Following me here like a lost puppy?
00:14:35Following you?
00:14:36Why would I-
00:14:36What are you doing here?
00:14:39Sweetheart, this is my family's house.
00:14:41I'm sure you know that.
00:14:44Hmm.
00:14:45You never let me have sex with you.
00:14:47But look at you now, sneaking into my house.
00:14:51Finally realize what you're missing, baby?
00:14:53Get your hands off me, you creep!
00:14:55I know.
00:14:56Playing hard to get used to be cute, but now?
00:14:59Come on, baby.
00:15:01We both know this is what you came here for.
00:15:04Uncle, what are you doing?
00:15:06Get your filthy hands off my fiance.
00:15:10Your-your what?
00:15:12Fiance?
00:15:16Fiance?
00:15:17How could she be your fiance?
00:15:18She's just-
00:15:19Watch your mouth.
00:15:20Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:15:25This is crazy.
00:15:27You seriously don't know.
00:15:29I won't repeat myself.
00:15:30Stay away from my fiance.
00:15:33One more word?
00:15:34You can kiss that trust fund.
00:15:36Goodbye.
00:15:53You alright?
00:15:55Yeah, so...
00:15:57Ethan.
00:15:58He's your nephew.
00:16:01Then he's your...
00:16:02Well, he was...
00:16:04He's kinda...
00:16:06He was my boyfriend.
00:16:08I mean ex-boyfriend.
00:16:09I mean like extremely ex-ex-boyfriend.
00:16:13I see.
00:16:16Tom, so we'll bring your things in shortly.
00:16:19Sorry.
00:16:20Sorry.
00:16:23Um...
00:16:23So...
00:16:24Where am I staying?
00:16:28Here.
00:16:30What?
00:16:31Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple sleep in separate rooms.
00:16:37Oh, of course.
00:16:38Fake engagement.
00:16:39Real roommates.
00:16:42Don't worry.
00:16:44I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:17:07Don't worry.
00:17:09I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:17:11What are you doing?
00:17:13This is the line.
00:17:15Don't cross it.
00:17:17Ever.
00:17:18For sure.
00:17:19Good.
00:17:37My plan worked perfectly.
00:17:43Wait.
00:17:44How did I...
00:17:46Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:17:53Achoo!
00:17:55Sir, are you okay?
00:17:57Fine.
00:17:59Continue.
00:18:07Stay on your side.
00:18:15Lila, wake up.
00:18:21Lila, please.
00:18:42Control.
00:18:43This is the next game.
00:18:45Control.
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.
00:19:28Sorry.
00:19:28So tell me, dear.
00:19:30How did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:19:33Through mutual friends.
00:19:37Oh, really?
00:19:38Mutual 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.
00:19:56Surely 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 fiancé, your presence is required.
00:20:20I'd be honored.
00:20:21Hmm.
00:20:23Perfect.
00:20:24I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:20:30You can go now.
00:20:43Excuse me, Miss Ri.
00:20:44I need to clean.
00:20:45Of course.
00:20:46Let me just...
00:20:52see what she's wearing to the family dinner.
00:20:56How creative.
00:20:58Must be hiding your family.
00:21:00Watching 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?
00:21:14You're just some trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:21:20Mr. Crawford!
00:21:22She just attacked me!
00:21:26I was trying to help with the...
00:21:27Get out!
00:21:28But...
00:21:29I was just...
00:21:29One more word and you're fired.
00:21:32Get 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.
00:21:47I need some space.
00:21:51You take the bed.
00:21:53I'll take the sofa.
00:21:55I 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.
00:22:36Just a small thing.
00:22:39Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:22:41It's okay.
00:22:42I'm here.
00:22:44You're safe.
00:22:46Perfect timing for the injection.
00:23:15Okay.
00:23:32Focus.
00:23:33This is just a simple, helpful procedure.
00:23:38Just 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...
00:23:57Oh, sure, honestly, it's fine.
00:23:58I can come in if you need me to.
00:24:01Come in.
00:24:11What's up?
00:24:13You want to help?
00:24:14Of course.
00:24:15What, what do you need me to?
00:24:21Oh, you're...
00:24:22Oh, you're...
00:24:24I'm, I'm so sorry.
00:24:25I didn't, I didn't realize.
00:24:26I'm just, I'm just gonna just go somewhere.
00:24:30I just need you somewhere very far.
00:24:32Hey, I...
00:24:33It's fine.
00:24:36Well, that was helpful.
00:24:43Are you okay?
00:24:44Yeah.
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, it's a little uncomfortable.
00:24:53But I mean, it will, it will pass.
00:24:55Oh.
00:24:56Here.
00:24:59Oh, okay.
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.
00:25:54Purely 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.
00:26:43I introduce him.
00:26:45I 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?
00:26:57No.
00:26:57Worse.
00:26:58A wannabe writer.
00:26:59She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:27:03Hmm.
00:27:07Hmm.
00:27:07Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:27:10I had the chef prepare her place setting and everything.
00:27:12She probably couldn't figure out which work to do.
00:27:15There you go.
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.
00:27:41I 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.
00:29:13You used to like it when I touched you.
00:29:16Remember how shy you were?
00:29:19Always saying no.
00:29:21That's off me, bastard!
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?
00:29:33Oh!
00:29:41Everything alright, dear?
00:29:43You look... flushed.
00:29:45So, as I was saying about the monsters...
00:29:51Stop it!
00:29:53Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:29:55I just... stop it!
00:29:59Enough!
00:30:00No class?
00:30:01No manners?
00:30:03I don't know how you seduced my son, but someone like you could never deserve a place in this family!
00:30:11I...
00:30:11I'm the one who sued her.
00:30:19Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:30:24Adrian...
00:30:25If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:30:27You want to 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... refused me several times.
00:30:43Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:30:45First woman who dared to stand out to me.
00:30:48And that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:30:50I...
00:30:51I...
00:30:52I...
00:30:55Sir, two things.
00:30:56Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner, and your jet is ready.
00:31:00We can go now.
00:31:06Cancel it, Liam.
00:31:07What's the merger?
00:31:10Yes, sir.
00:31:12It's funny that last week family's dinners were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:31:21Something's more important in 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?
00:31:49She 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 troll.
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, and for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:32:43What happened?
00:32:44Your hands, what happened?
00:33:00As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:33:04I expect you to use them.
00:33:06I... I didn't want to presume.
00:33:07You're a Crawford now.
00:33:18You'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.
00:34:35You know, I can walk.
00:34:38Doctor's orders?
00:34:39You seem more nervous than I do.
00:34:46Merely following medical procedure.
00:34:56Look 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.
00:35:17Go.
00:35:45Adriana!
00:35:45Hmm, not quite. Looking 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! I was just getting food, I swear.
00:36:11Get out!
00:36:15Ah! Stomach!
00:36:17Lila, what's wrong?
00:36:18My stomach, I think that there's something wrong.
00:36:21If anything, anything happens to my fiancé or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:36:28And you.
00:36:30What you want, you'll never have.
00:36:34Never.
00:36:40Child.
00:36:41Three years she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:36:44In a few weeks, with my uncle, and she's carrying his child.
00:36:49You want the perfect family?
00:36:53Well, it's not gonna 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, I 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?
00:37:54Are you sure about that?
00:38:09What the...
00:38:23What are you doing?
00:38:24This 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?
00:38:48One treat per day.
00:38:51Half a treat.
00:38:52Three quarters.
00:38:55Three quarters.
00:39:16Congratulations the fetus is developing perfectly really everything looks wonderful now that we're in

00:47:04The eggs are still warm.
00:47:07I apologize about last night, I 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, it's just for the baby?
00:47:32Lila, 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...
00:47:59But Vivian 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.
00:48:10The 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 her absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members.
00:48:52Suggesting her sudden marriage plans indicate obstacle decision-making.
00:48:58Several executors are questioning if someone so personally distracted should inherit the company.
00:49:23Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing my personal life.
00:49:26Your second access has...
00:49:27Let 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 would be a company left to me here.
00:50:13Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:50:31It is okay.
00:50:35Wanna get started.
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 strategy.
00:51:07Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:51:14You leave Lila out of this.
00:51:16You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:51:19Yeah, 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.
00:51:45She's nothing but a broodmare.
00:51:47After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:51:53Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:51:55Someone like me.
00:51:59Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:52:03Non-negotiable.
00:52:05She will follow you every day, just like before.
00:52:08And your little pet project can't stay home and gestate.
00:52:12That's all she's good for.
00:52:16Get out, both of you.
00:52:18How dare you?
00:52:19If you dare mention my wife's name again.
00:52:22I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before either of you get to touch it.
00:52:26Adrian, be reasonable.
00:52:28She is worth a thousand of 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.
00:52:55You, you, you, you love me.
00:53:01You, you.
00:53:04You, you, you.
00:53:18Stop it.
00:53:20Stop checking.
00:53:22This is ridiculous.
00:53:25I was independent before.
00:53:28I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep.
00:53:35No, I'm not going to be that girl.
00:53:41I can make my own meals.
00:53:43I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:53:52I'm approved, Mara.
00:53:56Way to get back at Ethan.
00:54:02You, you.
00:54:03I'm fine.
00:54:05You're not fine.
00:54:06Hospital, now.
00:54:07I'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.
00:54:38Why not? Is there really no chance for us?
00:54:41Ethan.
00:54:44Lila, 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?
00:54:58I'm protecting you.
00:54:59From what? He's helping. He brought me here. My hand was bleeding.
00:55:03So now you're defending him?
00:55:04No, I'm defending the truth.
00:55:07Sometimes, I guess people surprise you.
00:55:10I see.
00:55:13Adrian.
00:55:14I'll call the doctor to come.
00:55:20I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OB-GYN down immediately.
00:55:25Sir, it's just a minor call.
00:55:27I want a full prenatal checkup.
00:55:29I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson. He's going to be down here in 10 minutes.
00:55:32It's always so control, aren't you, Uncle?
00:55:37Well, some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:55:42Remember our beach dates?
00:55:46How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:55:52Thompson, bring in the catering. The Michelin star one.
00:55:56Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:55:59Oh, well done.
00:56:01No sauce.
00:56:02I don't think that I did say...
00:56:05How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:56:08Pride and Prejudice.
00:56:09BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:56:11She likes to watch it when she's still in stress.
00:56:13Which is why I upgraded our home theater 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?
00:56:30Well, let's see.
00:56:32The Alzheimer's wing is fully renovated.
00:56:35Named after Lila's grandmother.
00:56:37As she mentioned.
00:56:38Oh, it's fully funded.
00:56:41Anonymous donor.
00:56:42Hmm.
00:56:47He may be able to offer you money.
00:56:49But you're gonna miss this.
00:57:04Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:57:07Try to smile or not.
00:57:10I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins.
00:57:12They should arrive shortly.
00:57:13They custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:57:17Wow.
00:57:18You 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.
00:57:31Guys, she's tired.
00:57:32I'm worried we should leave.
00:57:33I'm worried we should leave.
00:57:33Let her rest.
00:57:43Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:57:46Or does he actually care?
00:58:04Yes, father?
00:58:06Yes, father?
00:58:06Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:58:09Overworked, 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.
00:58:41Oh.
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?
00:58:55That was a long time ago.
00:58:58We 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.
00:59:16Pregnant gold digger is real?
00:59:19Please.
00:59:25Well, I 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.
00:59:51Your hand.
00:59:52It's nothing.
00:59:55I need to tell you something.
00:59:58I'm going to be a mother.
00:59:59Is 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 going to 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 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.
01:00:57Adrian.
01:00:59I'm not just the father.
01:01:00I'm the man who's going to spend the rest of his life making sure your daughter and our child get
01:01:05everything they deserve.
01:01:06Pretty words from a rich man.
01:01:09Not words.
01:01:10Facts.
01:01:11I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:01:14Full treatment plan.
01:01:15Best specialists.
01:01:16Adrian.
01:01:18And I promise you this.
01:01:21Every morning she's going to 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.
01:01:32I do.
01:01:34Well.
01:01:38Maybe I can stop worrying now.
01:01:47Thank you for what 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.
01:02:00Adrian.
01:02:01Adrian.
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 fiancé.
01:02:29You're my partner.
01:02:31If 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?
01:02:45Revenge?
01:02:46I never loved Vivian.
01:02:48And Ethan, he's not worth his 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.
01:03:16Hmm.
01:03:29I'm not letting you go.
01:03:32Not ever.
01:03:41Surrogacy.
01:03:42Contract marriage.
01:03:44Oh, this is too perfect.
01:03:48Oh, this is too perfect.
01:03:50Oh, this is too perfect.
01:04:21Whiskey.
01:04:22Neat.
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.
01:04:35Your perfect uncle?
01:04:37He hired her.
01:04:39She's just a surrogate.
01:04:41Their whole engagement is a lie.
01:04:44A contract.
01:04:48The board would love to hear about this.
01:04:52Next week's family meeting.
01:04:55He'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.
01:05:22Cheers.
01:05:39Um, Ethan's in meetings all afternoon.
01:05:42That's okay.
01:05:42I 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.
01:06:02No contracts.
01:06:05Come on.
01:06:07The train's always so organized.
01:06:10Where is everything?
01:06:12Everything.
01:06:18It's just a stupid cat.
01:06:32Are you okay?
01:06:34You're a beast!
01:06:36Attack me!
01:06:37I need your bathroom.
01:06:39Now!
01:06:41Now!
01:06:48Atrian!
01:06:50I've been waiting for you.
01:06:56You know...
01:06:57If you need an heir...
01:06:59We could make one.
01:07:01Right here.
01:07:03Right now.
01:07:05Lila doesn't have to know.
01:07:07She'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.
01:07:24Are you scared?
01:07:30I know somewhere more...
01:07:33private.
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!
01:08:10Ah!
01:08:13Adrian!
01:08:14Adrian!
01:08:15Adrian, let me in!
01:08:21I'm sorry!
01:08:22I will sue you!
01:08:23I will sue you!
01:08:23I will sue you!
01:08:24Everyone, 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!
01:08:35Yeah!
01:08:36Yeah!
01:08:36Let's do it!
01:08:39Though, 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.
01:09:05I couldn't bear any drama.
01:09:08She left you for your uncle.
01:09:12These things happen.
01:09:16Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to my fiancee, Lila Reed.
01:09:20Hello everybody, it'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.
01:09:56Come 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.
01:10:07How thoughtful, but Adrian handles all my appointments personally.
01:10:13The real hero of the hour!
01:10:15Wow!
01:10:20Beautiful, isn't she?
01:10:22You're the 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.
01:10:37Some for business.
01:10:39Others for...
01:10:40You don't know him.
01:10:42Oh, but I do.
01:10:45Adrian Crawford cares exactly about one person.
01:10:48Adrian Crawford.
01:10:49He sees people as investments.
01:10:52Vivian?
01:10:53Perfect for managing the company.
01:10:56You?
01:10:58Well...
01:10:58I think we both know what your role is.
01:11:04He's wrong.
01:11:05He has to be wrong.
01:11:25Everyone in this world has their place.
01:11:27Their purpose.
01:11:30Maybe it's time I found mine again.
01:11:53Maybe when's the last time you ate something?
01:11:56I dunno.
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?
01:12:17Uh, almost.
01:12:27Um, 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, intimate relations is perfectly safe, as long as you're
01:13:07gentle.
