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.
00:01:05I'm so sorry.
00:01:10I'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.
00:09:55I'm sorry.
00:10:04I don't know.
00:10:05Okay.

00:11:02sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job
00:11:18hello I'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 don't sound so smug about it I have my reasons as do I
00:11:47I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms what kind of modification
00:11:54joint custody you wouldn't be just carrying the child you'd be the baby's mother why
00:12:00would you agree to that you're honest direct no hidden agenda qualities I want in my child's
00:12:09mother so I'd really get to be a part of the baby's life yes but understand this clearly
00:12:14we'll be parents nothing more no romantic entanglements no emotional expectations
00:12:23don't flutter yourself god rich man and there he goes
00:12:32father the board is getting impatient have you considered the arrangements I suggested
00:12:39I've already made my own plans Adrian if you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce
00:12:47an air forget it the Crawford name means something I won't let it be tainted by
00:12:53I've already chosen my fiance what we'll discuss this at dinner did I just get promoted from surrogate to
00:13:07fiance correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you just say just parents nothing more the situation requires adaptation

00:13:26house during the pregnancy and after the baby comes we'll arrange for an amicable separation

00:19:01Sorry.
00:19:02Didn't see you there.
00:19:07You're always in the way.
00:19:12Ah, my 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.
00:19:28So tell me, dear, how 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, surely some negotiation was involved.
00:19:59The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:20:13Next 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.
00:20:42Excuse me, Miss Ri.
00:20:44I need to clean.
00:20:45Of course.
00:20:46Let me just move this.
00:20:52Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:56How creative.
00:20:58Must be hot in 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?
00:21:13You're just 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 I was just-
00:21:29One more word and you're fired.
00:21:32Get out.
00:21:41What happened?
00:21:42What 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.
00:21:52You 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.
00:22:37Just a small break.
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 medical 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, I didn't mean...
00:23:57Are you sure? Honestly, it's fine.
00:23:58I can come in if you need me to.
00:24:01Come in.
00:24:11So...
00:24:13You want to help?
00:24:14Of course.
00:24:15What...
00:24:15What do you need me to...
00:24:20Oh, you're...
00:24:22Oh, 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...
00:24:29Somewhere.
00:24:30I just need you.
00:24:31Somewhere very far away.
00:24:33I'm sorry.
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.
00:24:51It's...
00:24:51It's a little uncomfortable.
00:24:53But I mean, it will...
00:24:53It will pass.
00:24:55Oh.
00:24:56Here.
00:24:59Oh.
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.
00:25:30Oh.
00:25:54Purely professional care.
00:26:05Hmmmm.
00:26:06Hmmmm.
00:26:06Hmmmm.
00:26:06Hmmmm.
00:26:06Purely professional, huh?
00:26:10Hmmmm.
00:26:12Hmmmm.

00:26:48i don't understand why he picked this gold digger from god knows where what did you say she did ethan

00:35:44i'm 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! I was just getting food, I swear.
00:36:11Get out!
00:36:16Stomach!
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 fiancée or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:36:28And you, what you want, you'll never have. Never.
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?
00:36:52Well...
00:36:53It'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. Just 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. It's been a rough day for you.
00:37:38Adrian, why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:37:42No reason. I just know you're not like that.
00:37:46Thanks.
00:37:47Get some rest.
00:37:49Do whatever makes you comfortable. Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:37:53Anything I want? Are you sure about that?
00:38:10What 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.
00:38:35You 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. How about a compromise?
00:38:48One treat per day.
00:38:51Half a treat.
00:38:52Three quarters.
00:38:54Three quarters.
00:38:55Three quarters.
00:38:55Three quarters.
00:39:16Congratulations. The fetus is developing perfectly.
00:39:20Really?
00:39:22Everything looks wonderful.
00:39:24Now that we're in the stable period, I would recommend you starting some prenatal exercise.
00:39:31What kind of exercise?
00:39:32But...
00:39:35Now, hold her from behind in the 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 her arms up.
00:40:00This is a little intimate.
00:40:03And now the supporting stretch.
00:40:06Shhh.
00:40:16Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:40:21Maybe we should continue this out.
00:40:24Yeah, please.
00:40:43The Charity Gala isn't a test.
00:40:47Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:41:07You look perfect.
00:41:12Just be yourself.
00:41:18Then...
00:41:19This...
00:41:22This is not me.
00:41:35This is not me.
00:41:41Adrian!
00:41:43It's been too long.
00:41:49You look...
00:41:51exactly the same.
00:42:02And you must be the fiancé.
00:42:04I'm so pleased Adrian has found someone after all these years.
00:42:09That's really kind, but I'm sorry.
00:42:11Who are you?
00:42:15I'm just someone who cares about Adrian's happiness.
00:42:18More than anyone else.
00:42:25Oh my god!
00:42:28You two are finally back together.
00:42:31Everyone, look who's here. The golden couple.
00:42:36I heard Adrian Crawford was engaged.
00:42:38I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:42:40When is the wedding?
00:42:45Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancé...
00:42:49Lala Reid.
00:42:56We're expecting our first child, and of course you're all welcome to the wedding.
00:43:01She's pregnant?
00:43:03Oh, I'm... I'm so sorry. I just...
00:43:05She's pregnant.
00:43:07Congratulations for you both.
00:43:12Adrian Crawford in a complete unknown?
00:43:15How did you manage that?
00:43:16Adrian chose her over Vivian. Is he crazy?
00:43:20Oh, Benji. How have you been?
00:43:23Great.
00:43:23Let's go.
00:43:24Let's go.
00:43:31They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:43:34Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:43:36Shh.
00:43:41Gentlemen!
00:43:43What are you all talking about?
00:43:49They do look like the perfect couple.
00:44:05Drinking?
00:44:06I thought you were pregnant.
00:44:08None of your business.
00:44:13You know how Adrian is.
00:44:15Always has to win.
00:44:17Especially against me.
00:44:18He hates when I take things from him.
00:44:21What are you talking about?
00:44:29Perfect couple, right?
00:44:33Until...
00:44:36Vivian fell madly in love with me.
00:44:39Leaving dear uncle heartbroken.
00:44:42Since then, whatever I want, he has to take.
00:44:48Whatever I have, he has to win.
00:44:52Like you.
00:44:54What you want, you never have.
00:44:57Never.
00:44:59You and Ethan, you've never really gone along, have you?
00:45:04You don't get it.
00:45:06Stop being naive.
00:45:08You're just his tool for revenge.
00:45:18I'm just his tool for revenge?
00:45:34What do you think you're doing?
00:45:36You are pregnant.
00:45:37Why are you drinking?
00:45:38Oh, now you care.
00:45:43It's soda.
00:45:44I know what I'm doing.
00:45:59What happened back there?
00:46:01Talk to me.
00:46:04Mila, I am worried.
00:46:06So you talked to Ethan, but not me.
00:46:10You do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:46:15You do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:46:38And I'm going to give her a ride.
00:46:55I'm hanging out with my nephew.
00:46:55I'm hanging out.
00:46:56I'm hanging out with my nephew.
00:46:57I'd walk it every day.
00:47:02And you will be very careful.
00:47:04And you will be no longer.
00:47:05You're packing on my nephew.
00:47:06What happened to him?
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.
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 something.
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. Business first.
00:48:26We need to finish it 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 suggesting her sudden marriage
00:48:54plans indicate a stable decision-making.
00:48:58Several executives are questioning if someone so personally distracted should inherit the
00:49:05company.
00:49:23Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing my personal life.
00:49:26Your sudden access has let me be very clear.
00:49:35This company took a 40% profit loss before I took over.
00:49:40Within three years, I tripled our market share.
00:49:42Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge, my execution, my strategies.
00:49:51So yes, I am getting married, and yes, I took some time off, and no, not a single person
00:49:59in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability, because without
00:50:05me, there's going to be a company left to me.
00:50:13Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:50:33So good.
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.
00:51:08Ever 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.
00:51:19Yeah, run along.
00:51:21Adolfs 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, be 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.
00:52:52Don't disappoint me again.
00:52:54I am sorry.
00:52:54I am sorry.
00:52:54I am sorry.
00:52:56I am sorry.
00:52:59I am sorry.
00:53:03I am sorry, I am sorry.
00:53:18Stop it. Stop checking. This is ridiculous. I was independent before. I don't need a man to make me breakfast
00:53:31in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep.
00:53:34No! I'm not going to be that girl. I can make my own meals. I don't need his perfectly prepared
00:53:46little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:53:52A broodmare. Way to get back at Ethan.
00:54:02Follow! I'm fine!
00:54:05You're not fine. Hospital. 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.
00:55:15I'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 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 ten minutes.
00:55:33Always so controlled.
00:55:35Aren't you, Uncle?
00:55:37Some 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.
00:56:00Oh, 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 our home theater system.
00:56:17To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:56:20You did what?
00:56:25Using money to get to her heart.
00:56:27Huh, Uncle?
00:56:30Oh.
00:56:32Oh, the Al Starmer's Wings fully renovated.
00:56:35Named after Lila's grandmother.
00:56:37As she mentioned.
00:56:38Oh, it's a fully funded.
00:56:41Anonymous donor.
00:56:47He may be able to offer you money, but you're gonna miss this.
00:57:04What?
00:57:04Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:57:07Try to smile or not.
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. He remembered all that about me.
00:57:19I 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. We should leave. Let her rest.
00:57:43Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:57:45Or does he actually care?
00:58:04Yes, Father?
00:58:06Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:58:08Overwork, 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.
00:58:58We 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...
00:59:08I never took it as seriously as you pretended to.
00:59:12But Lila?
00:59:13She's different.
00:59:14She's real.
00:59:16A pregnant gold digger is real?
00:59:19Please.
00:59:25I guess some things never change.
00:59:28A pregnant.
00:59:32Watch your words.
00:59:34Stay away from my wife.
00:59:45My little girl.
00:59:47Daddy.
00:59:50Your 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, no.
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...
01:00:20Sorry I couldn't...
01:00:22Couldn'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.
01:00:30The...
01:00:31The 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. It'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.
01:00:57Adriana.
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. Facts.
01:01:11I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:01:14Full treatment plan. Best specialists.
01:01:17Adriana.
01:01:19And 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, I do.
01:01:37Well, maybe I can stop worrying now.
01:01:47Thank you for what you said in there. I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:01:53No, no, no, no. I wasn't just doing anything. Every word I said in there is true.
01:02:00Adriana.
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.
01:02:13Yes, we had a contract, but I realized you've become everything to me.
01:02:21You're not my surrogate.
01:02:25You're not my convenient fiancee.
01:02:29You're my partner.
01:02:31If you have me.
01:02:35But what about Ethan and Vivian?
01:02:38What about them?
01:02:42Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan?
01:02:45Revenge? I never loved Vivian.
01:02:48And Ethan, he's not worth his second thought.
01:02:50Really?
01:02:52And who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:02:59That was...
01:03:04I was jealous, okay?
01:03:07The thought of you with him.
01:03:09Wow. The great Mr. Crawford. Jealous.
01:03:13Don't mention it. I have a reputation to maintain.
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.
01:03:55I'm the one.
01:04:15You're not my uncle.
01:04:15Why is he keeping him roomative?
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.
01:04:35Your perfect uncle? He hired her.
01:04:39She's just a surrogate. Their whole engagement is a lie.
01:04:45A contract?
01:04:48The board would love to hear about this.
01:04:52Next week's family meeting.
01:04:55We'll reveal everything. Until then, let's gather more evidence.
01:05:01And once he's ruined...
01:05:03I'll comfort him. Help 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?
01:06:00I'm sorry to see agreements.
01:06:02I have no contracts.
01:06:05I'm gone.
01:06:07The train's always so organized.
01:06:10It's almost everything.
01:06:19It's just a stupid cat.
01:06:21No!
01:06:23No!
01:06:26Ah!
01:06:28Ah!
01:06:28Ah!
01:06:30Ah!
01:06:30Ah!
01:06:32Are you okay?
01:06:33You're a beast! Attach me! I need your bathroom! Now!
01:06:49Adrian, I've been waiting for you.
01:06:56You know, if you need an heir, we could make one. Right here.
01:07:03Right now.
01:07:06Lil doesn't have to know. She's already asleep.
01:07:11It could just be our little secret.
01:07:17Here. In the living room.
01:07:21Wherever you want.
01:07:23Someone might see us.
01:07:24Are you scared?
01:07:25Hmm.
01:07:30I know somewhere more.
01:07:32Rivet.
01:07:40Where are we going?
01:07:42Can't risk being interrupted, can we?
01:07:46Ladies first.
01:07:51Enjoy the fresh air.
01:07:53Adrian! Adrian!
01:07:55You can't do this to me! I'm a Crawford executor!
01:08:04Stop filming me! This is harassment! I will sue you! I will sue you so hard!
01:08:13Adrian! Adrian! Adrian, let me in!
01:08:23Everyone! This crisis could have destroyed us. But thanks to your tireless efforts, Crawford is stronger than ever! To the
01:08:33best team in the business!
01:08:34Yes!
01:08:38Though, speaking of tonight's celebration, there's something you all should be prepared for.
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. But please, when they arrive, act normal. I 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 Reid.
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? Is the morning sickness over yet?
01:09:41I'm fine.
01:09:43You know, I've been worried. All this stress can't be good for the baby.
01:09:50What hospital are you using? I could drive you next time.
01:09:54That's not necessary.
01:09:57Come on. We 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. But Adrian handles all my appointments personally.
01:10:12The 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.
01:10:38Others 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.
01:10:50He sees people as investments.
01:10:52Vivian?
01:10:53Perfect for managing the company.
01:10:56You?
01:10:57Well.
01:10:59I 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 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. Like this?
01:12:17Uh, almost.
01:12:27Um, I think I need a little more instruction.
