00:00:013 years. 3 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.
00:01:03You are my sweet child.
00:01:16I'm so sorry.
00:01:19Oh, my God.
00:02:00Oh, my God.
00:02:02Voila, 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.
00:02:20Three years.
00:02:21Three years.
00:02:22I wished it on you.
00:02:24God, I'm such an idiot.
00:02:27He's thinking I was going to have a baby with you.
00:02:30Oh, baby.
00:02:34Sweetheart.
00:02:35You wouldn't even put out after three years, and now you're thinking about playing mommy.
00:02:40Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs, these lovely ladies can show you how
00:02:48it's done.
00:02:50Screw 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.
00:03:13One 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, in other words, Ivy League, educated, impeccable health
00:03:41histories.
00:03:42I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:03:44I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:03:47Find me someone who knows their place, and will disappear after delivery.
00:04:11I need someone who knows their place, and will disappear after delivery.
00:04:33Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:04:37The interview?
00:04:39Yes, of course.
00:04:44Miss, okay.
00:04:50Missy, 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?
00:05:13Well, I 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.
00:05:39I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:05:42I need to know your reproductive history.
00:05:45So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:05:49It's a craftsmanship.
00:05:50I can't show how it.
00:05:51Thompson, 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.
00:06:14No 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 don't know.
00:06:37I don't know.
00:06:39I'm perfectly healthy too.
00:06:41No genetic disorders.
00:06:42And, uh, 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.
00:07:08I 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 contract.
00:07:31Oh, all 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?
00:07:47Are 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.
00:08:01Interview?
00:08:01You?
00:08:02I'm hated 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.
00:08:22Wait.
00:08:25A million dollars.
00:08:27For carrying my child.
00:08:31I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford, not 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, your father.
00:08:59You need to come now.
00:09:01Okay, I'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.
00:09:30Then, then do something.
00:09:32Save 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, a loan or something?
00:09:51Actually, this is a new technology.
00:09:53And there is no loan policy.
00:09:55Sorry.
00:09:55Yeah.
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.
00:10:50No 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.
00:11:02Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job.
00:11:29I've been thinking...
00:11:31I've been thinking...
00:11:36About yesterday, I may have been a bit hasty.
00:11:40You're reconsidering.
00:11:41Don't sound so smug about it.
00:11:43I have my reasons.
00:11:44As do I.
00:11:48I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:11:53What kind of modification?
00:11:55Joint custody.
00:11:57You wouldn't be just carrying the child.
00:11:59You'd be the baby's mother.
00:12:00Why would you agree to that?
00:12:02You'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?
00:12:12Yes.
00:12:13But understand this clearly.
00:12:15We'll be parents.
00:12:16Nothing more.
00:12:17No romantic entanglements.
00:12:20No emotional expectations.
00:12:24Don't flutter yourself.
00:12:26God, rich man in their egos.
00:12:32Father.
00:12:33The board is getting impatient.
00:12:35Have you considered the arrangements I suggested?
00:12:39I've already made my own plans.
00:12:41Adrian, if you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
00:12:49The Crawford name means something.
00:12:51I won't let it be tainted by...
00:12:53I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:12:56What?
00:12:56We'll discuss this at dinner.
00:13:00Did I just get promoted from surrogate to fiancé?
00:13:08Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just say, just parents, nothing more?
00:13:15The situation requires adaptation.
00:13:20Hmm.
00:13:21Is 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, continue parenting, and I'll arrange for...
00:13:35any 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.
00:14:07I think my whole apartment could fit in this entryway.
00:14:20Well, well, well.
00:14:22Missed me so much, you tracked me down.
00:14:29Can't get over me, huh?
00:14:33Following me here like a lost puppy?
00:14:35Following you?
00:14:36Why would I...
00:14:37What are you doing here?
00:14:39Sweetheart, this is my family's house.
00:14:42I'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.
00:14:56Playing hard to get used to be cute, but now?
00:15:00Come on, baby.
00:15:01We both know this is what you came here for.
00:15:05Uncle, what are you doing?
00:15:06Get your filthy hands off my fiancé.
00:15:10Your, your, what?
00:15:13Fiancé?
00:15:16Fiancé?
00:15:17How could she be your fiancé?
00:15:19She's just...
00:15:19Watch your mouth.
00:15:21Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:15:26This is crazy.
00:15:27You seriously don't know.
00:15:29I won't repeat myself.
00:15:31Stay away from my fiancé.
00:15:33One more word.
00:15:34You can kiss that trust fund.
00:15:36Goodbye.
00:15:53You alright?
00:15:55Yeah, so...
00:15:58Ethan.
00:15:58He's your nephew.
00:16:01And he's your...
00:16:03Well, he was...
00:16:05He's kinda...
00:16:06He was my boyfriend.
00:16:07I mean, ex-boyfriend.
00:16:09I mean, like, an extremely ex-ex-boyfriend.
00:16:13I see.
00:16:16Thompson will bring your things in shortly.
00:16:19Sorry.
00:16:23Um, so...
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.
00:16:43Don't worry.
00:16:44I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:17:12What are you doing?
00:17:13This is the line.
00:17:15Don't cross it.
00:17:17Ever.
00:17:19For sure.
00:17:21Good.
00:17:38My plan worked perfectly.
00:17:43Wait.
00:17:44How did I...
00:17:54Sir, are you okay?
00:17:57Fine.
00:17:59Continue.
00:18:02Continue.
00:18:08Stay on your side.
00:18:15Lila, wake up.
00:18:20Please.
00:18:21Lila, please.
00:18:38Lila, please.
00:19:02Sorry, didn't see you there.
00:19:07You're always in the way.
00:19:12Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancée.
00:19:16Mrs. Crawford.
00:19:17Catherine, please.
00:19:18We're family now, supposedly.
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?
00:19:39Mutual 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?
00:19:54Well, a girl of your position.
00:19:56Surely some negotiation was involved.
00:20:00The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:20:07I'm sorry.
00:20:10I'm sorry.
00:20:12I'm sorry.
00:20:13Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancée, your presence is required.
00:20:20I'd be honored.
00:20:22Hmm.
00:20:23Perfect.
00:20:24I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:20:30You can go now.
00:20:40You can go now.
00:20:43Excuse me, Miss Rie.
00:20:44I need to clean.
00:20:46Of 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 hiding your family.
00:21:00Watching you chase after rich men.
00:21:04Let me help you with this.
00:21:06Miss Rie!
00:21:07How clumsy of me.
00:21:09You did that on purpose.
00:21:11Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:21:13She was just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:21:21Mr. Crawford!
00:21:22She 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.
00:21:33You get out.
00:21:41What happened?
00:21:42Nothing.
00:21:44I 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, Teddy.
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?
00:22:36How's the happy couple?
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.
00:23:08This is a good thing.
00:23:09You're safe.
00:23:10It's here.
00:23:12You're safe.
00:23:15I'm ready.
00:23:17It's okay.
00:23:18You're safe.
00:23:33Focus. This is just a simple medical procedure. Just pretend she's not. Right outside.
00:23:45Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:23:48Uh, yeah, I'm fine. I 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? Honestly, it's fine. I can come in if you need me to.
00:24:02Come in.
00:24:13So, you want to help?
00:24:14Of course. What do you need me to?
00:24:21Oh, you're...
00:24:22Oh, you're...
00:24:23I'm... I'm so sorry. I didn't... I didn't realize. I'm just... I'm just gonna just go somewhere. I just need
00:24:31you somewhere very far.
00:24:32Hey. Ah!
00:24:36Well, that was helpful.
00:24:43Are you okay?
00:24:45Yeah. Dr. 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, but I mean, it will... It will pass.
00:24:55Oh.
00:24:56Here.
00:24:59Oh, okay.
00:25:13Thanks.
00:25:18Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement, and...
00:25:20Any resulting pain is technically a work-related issue, and as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:28Okay.
00:25:54Purely professional care.
00:26:06Purely professional, huh?
00:26:16Adrienne.
00:26:19Um, about this weekend...
00:26:21I'm sorry. There's an emergency in Atlanta. The merge is falling apart.
00:26:25Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:26:29Your family invited me to dinner. Guess 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? Retail?
00:26:57Worse. A wannabe writer. She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:27:07Well, I have tried to be welcoming. I had the chef prepare her place, setting, and everything.
00:27:13She probably couldn't figure out which work duty to fill.
00:27:28I apologize for the sight delay.
00:27:33My, my. Trying 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.
00:27:57Oh, darling.
00:27:59A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:28:02How quaint.
00:28:05At 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?
00:28:24How much, how much will it take you to disappear, Anger 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.
00:29:00Getting 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.
00:29:21Run off me!
00:29:23Back room!
00:29:24Careful now.
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 all right, 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?
00:29:55Stop it!
00:29:59Enough!
00:30:00No class?
00:30:02No 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...
00:30:12I'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.
00:30:28You want to know how we met?
00:30:30She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:30:32Papers flying, coffee spilled.
00:30:35Unlike 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.
00:30:46First woman who dared to 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 and your jet is ready.
00:31:00You can go now.
00:31:06Cancel it, Lance.
00:31:07What's the merger?
00:31:10Yes, sir.
00:31:13Funny that last week family's dinners were the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:31:21Something is 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.
00:31:50She 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 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.
00:32:20Adrian, how dare you hit my son?
00:32:22Where do you think you're going?
00:32:24We are not the finish here yet.
00:32:25Yes, we are.
00:32:31I'm sorry.
00:32:32I 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.
00:32:44Your 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 didn't want to presume.
00:33:08You're a Crawford now.
00:33:20Dr. Anderson.
00:33:21Mr. Crawford.
00:33:23The embryos are ready, so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:33:28I 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.
00:33:58So, I mean, good night.
00:34:07You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit.
00:34:12Focus on the procedure.
00:34:16Try 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.
00:34:56Look at her.
00:34:59She's acting like a princess.
00:35:02She was probably a waitress last week.
00:35:07Now she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:35:11What?
00:35:20She's acting like a woman.
00:35:21Oh, she's acting like a girl.
00:35:30That's how she is.
00:35:45Adrien!
00:35:46Hmm, 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?
00:36:05Adrien! I was just getting food, I swear.
00:36:11Get out!
00:36:17Stomach.
00:36:18Father, what's wrong?
00:36:19My stomach, I think that there's something wrong.
00:36:20If anything, anything happens to my fiancé or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:36:28And you, what you want, you'll never have.
00:36:34Never.
00:36:40Child.
00:36:41Three years, she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:36:44And a few weeks, with my uncle, and she's carrying his child.
00:36:49You want the perfect family?
00:36:53Well...
00:36:53It's not gonna happen.
00:37:06It's not gonna happen.
00:37:07Thompson, clear my schedule.
00:37:08Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:37:10Sir, what happened?
00:37:12Do you need my help?
00:37:13You 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?
00:37:21No.
00:37:24Why is that?
00:37:32You seem very concerned about him.
00:37:35I... I just...
00:37:35Just get some rest.
00:37:37It'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.
00:37:48Get 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?
00:38:24What are you doing?
00:38:26What are you doing?
00:38:26isn't delicious. The baby wants chocolate. The baby wants chocolate. Yeah. And chips and ice cream.
00:38:36You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you? I've been researching optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:38:43See, week by week guidelines. Okay, okay, okay. How about a compromise? One treat per day.
00:38:51Half a treat. Three quarters.
00:39:10Three quarters.
00:39:16Congratulations. The fetus is developing perfectly.
00:39:21Really?
00:39:23Everything looks wonderful. Now that we're in the stable period,
00:39:27I would recommend you starting some pre-natal exercise.
00:39:31What kind of exercise?
00:39:35Now, hold her from behind in a maternal pose.
00:39:46Maybe we should skip this part.
00:39:48Good train.
00:39:49Let's do it properly.
00:39:50Guide her arms up.
00:40:00This is a little implant.
00:40:03And now, the supporting stretch.
00:40:17Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:40:22Maybe we should continue this at home.
00:40:43The charity gala isn't a test.
00:40:47Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:41:08You look perfect.
00:41:12Just be yourself.
00:41:18Then, this, this is not me.
00:41:40You look exactly the same.
00:41:44It's been too long.
00:42:02And you must be the fiancée.
00:42:05I'm so pleased Adrienne has found someone after all these years.
00:42:10That's really kind, but I'm sorry. Who are you?
00:42:15I'm just someone who cares about Adrienne's happiness.
00:42:18More than anyone else.
00:42:26Oh, my God.
00:42:28You two are finally back together.
00:42:32Everyone, look who's here. The golden couple.
00:42:36I heard Adrienne Crawford was engaged.
00:42:39I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:42:41When is the wedding?
00:42:45Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancée.
00:42:50Lala Reid.
00:42:57We'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 so sorry. I just assumed congratulations for you both.
00:43:13Adrienne Crawford and a complete unknown.
00:43:15How did you manage that?
00:43:17Adrienne Crawford and Vivian, is he crazy?
00:43:21Oh, Benji, have you a bit.
00:43:23Great.
00:43:24Let's go, Ben.
00:43:31They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:43:35Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:43:37Shh.
00:43:42Gentlemen.
00:43:43What are you all talking about?
00:43:50They do look like the perfect couple.
00:43:55Don't take it.
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.
00:44:19He hates when I take things from him.
00:44:21What are you talking about?
00:44:30Perfect couple, right?
00:44:33Until...
00:44:36Vivian fell madly in love with me, leaving dear uncle heartbroken.
00:44:43Since then, whatever I want, he has to take.
00:44:48Whatever I have, he has to win.
00:44:52Like you.
00:44:55What you want, you never have.
00:44:58Never.
00:44:59You and Ethan, you've never really gone along, have you?
00:45:05You 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?
00:45:39Oh, now you care.
00:45:43It's soda.
00:45:44I know what I'm doing.
00:46:00What happened back there?
00:46:01Talk to me.
00:46:04Lila, I am worried.
00:46:07So you talk to Ethan, but not me.
00:46:10Well, you do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:46:28Lila, open the door.
00:46:33Please.
00:46:50We walked that season of gold.
00:47:04The eggs are still warm.
00:47:08I apologize about last night.
00:47:10I 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.
00:47:32Lila, you've been so strange since yesterday.
00:47:35Why?
00:47:35Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:47:44Yes.
00:47:51And then she got with Ethan?
00:47:55Yes.
00:47:56Okay, so I'm just...
00:48:00No.
00:48:01No.
00:48:06Sir, the Singapore emergency is falling apart.
00:48:09We need you to immediately.
00:48:10I'm in the middle of something.
00:48:11The board is threatening to pull out.
00:48:15I'll be there.
00:48:22We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back.
00:48:24Of course. Business first.
00:48:31Lila.
00:48:32Just go.
00:48:44Sir, there have been complications.
00:48:48Explain.
00:48:49During your absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members.
00:48:53Suggesting your sudden marriage plans indicate obstacle decision-making.
00:48:58Several executors are questioning if someone so personally distracted should enter the company.
00:49:23Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing my personal life.
00:49:26Your sudden access has let me be very clear.
00:49:35This 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.
00:49:57And 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.
00:50:14Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:50:34No kidding.
00:50:36I am done for many a minute.
00:50:38Check your queue.
00:50:39So you won't come.
00:50:39You don't.
00:50:39Bye.
00:50:41And the company left.новаver
00:50:44broke down to your request. You don't
00:50:45fall asleep? No kidding.
00:50:45뭐oresver?
00:50:45I'm sorry.
00:50:57Adrian, what the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:51:02I was doing my job.
00:51:04Your 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.
00:51:17You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:51:20Yeah, run along.
00:51:22Adolfs are talking business now.
00:51:24We just need to bore him for a moment, dear.
00:51:27Business matters.
00:51:28You wouldn't understand.
00:51:36That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:51:45She's nothing but a broodmare.
00:51:48After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:51:53Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:51:56Someone 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 just state that's all she's good for.
00:52:16Get out!
00:52:17Both of you!
00:52:18How dare you!
00:52:20If you dare mention my wife's name again, I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before either of you
00:52:25get to touch it.
00:52:27Adrian, be reasonable.
00:52:29She is worth a thousand of you.
00:52:32Tomorrow, 9 a.m.
00:52:34Vivian starts.
00:52:36No discussion.
00:52:38Is that all?
00:52:40Yes, for now.
00:52:42But don't disappoint me again.
00:53:19Stop it.
00:53:20Stop checking.
00:53:23This is ridiculous.
00:53:26I 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!
00:53:36I'm not going to be that girl.
00:53:41I can make my own meals.
00:53:44I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:53:52A brood marrow.
00:53:56Way to get back at Ethan.
00:54:04I'm not going to go.
00:54:05You're not fine.
00:54:06Hospital.
00:54:07Now.
00:54:07I'M FINE!
00:54:22Thanks.
00:54:23I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciated you today.
00:54:30You know, you used to look at me like that.
00:54:34All sweet.
00:54:36Sincere.
00:54:36Don't.
00:54:38Why not?
00:54:40Is there really no chance for us?
00:54:42Ethan.
00:54:44Lila, he's just using you.
00:54:47You're his revenge against me.
00:54:49A tool.
00:54:51And you deserve better than that.
00:54:54Adrian, stop!
00:54:57What are you doing?
00:54:59I'm protecting you.
00:55:00From 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...
00:55:08I guess people surprise you.
00:55:11I see.
00:55:14Adrian...
00:55:15I'll call the doctor to come.
00:55:21I 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 10 minutes.
00:55:33Always so control.
00:55:35Aren't you uncle?
00:55:38Some 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?
00:55:53Thompson, bring in the catering, the Michelin star one.
00:55:57Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian lagoon beef.
00:56:00Oh, well done.
00:56:01No 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.
00:56:10BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:56:12She likes to watch it when she's still in stress.
00:56:14Which is why I upgraded our home theater system.
00:56:17To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:56:21You did what?
00:56:22Wow!
00:56:25Using money to get to her heart.
00:56:28Huh, uncle?
00:56:31Oh!
00:56:32The Alzheimer's wings, fully renovated.
00:56:35Named after Lila's grandmother.
00:56:37As she mentioned.
00:56:39Oh, 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.
00:57:04Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:57:07Tries, mama.
00:57:10I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins.
00:57:12They should arrive shortly.
00:57:14They'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.
00:57:26Maybe 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?
00:57:47Or does he actually care?
00:58:05Yes, 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.
00:58:53Don'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.
00:59:02We 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.
00:59:11But Lila, she's different.
00:59:14She's real.
00:59:16A pregnant gold digger is real?
00:59:19Please.
00:59:26I guess some things never change.
00:59:32Watch your words.
00:59:35Stay away from my wife.
00:59:46My little girl.
00:59:47Daddy.
00:59:50Your hand.
00:59:52It's...
00:59:53It'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?
01:00:02No. No.
01:00:03Then who?
01:00:04It doesn't matter.
01:00:06But what does matter is that this is my baby.
01:00:10And I'm gonna love them so much.
01:00:13With all the love that you gave me.
01:00:17Baby.
01:00:19I'm so sorry.
01:00:20I'm...
01:00:21Sorry 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?
01:00:35Don'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?
01:00:42My little girl pregnant all alone?
01:00:44She's not alone.
01:00:49Hi Mr. Reid.
01:00:51I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:00:55I'm the father of her child.
01:00:58Adriana.
01:00:59I'm not just the father.
01:01:01I'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.
01:01:07Pretty words from a rich man.
01:01:09Not words. Facts.
01:01:11I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility. Full treatment plan, best specialists.
01:01:17Adrian.
01:01:19And I promise you this.
01:01:21Every morning, she's gonna wake up knowing that she is cherished.
01:01:26Every 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...
01:01:38Maybe...
01:01:39I can stop worrying now.
01:01:50For what you said in there.
01:01:52I 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.
01:02:02Adrian.
01:02:06Lila, 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.
01:02:15Yes, we had a contract, but...
01:02:18I realized...
01:02:20You've become everything to me.
01:02:22You're not my surrogate.
01:02:25You're not my convenient fiancee.
01:02:29You're my partner.
01:02:32If you have me.
01:02:36But 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?
01:02:46I never loved Vivian.
01:02:49And Ethan, he's not worth his second thought.
01:02:50Really?
01:02:53And 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.
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.
01:03:30I'm not letting you go.
01:03:32Not ever.
01:03:41Surrogacy.
01:03:42Contract marriage.
01:03:45Oh, this is too perfect...
01:03:55Oh, my God.
01:04:21Whiskey. Neat.
01:04:25What's so urgent?
01:04:27I 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.
01:04:40She's just a surrogate. Their whole engagement is a lie.
01:04:45A contract.
01:04:49The 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.
01:05:07He'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.
01:05:40Ethan's in meetings all afternoon.
01:05:42That's okay. I don't mind waiting.
01:05:46These 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'm going to go contracts.
01:06:05I'm gone.
01:06:07The train's always so organized.
01:06:10Where is everything?
01:06:19It's just a stupid cat.
01:06:32Are you okay?
01:06:34You're a beast!
01:06:36Attack me!
01:06:38I need your bathroom.
01:06:40Now!
01:06:48Adrian!
01:06:50I've been waiting for you.
01:06:56You know,
01:06:57if you need an heir,
01:07:00we could make one.
01:07:02Right 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...
01:07:33private.
01:07:41Where are we going?
01:07:43Can't risk being interrupted,
01:07:44can we?
01:07:46Ladies first.
01:07:51Enjoy the fresh air.
01:07:54Adrian!
01:07:55Adrian!
01:07:56You can't do this to me!
01:07:57I'm a Crawford executor!
01:08:05Stop 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!
01:08:16Adrian, let me in!
01:08:23Everyone!
01:08:24Everyone!
01:08:25This crisis could have destroyed us.
01:08:28But thanks to your tireless efforts,
01:08:31Crawford is stronger than ever.
01:08:33To the best team in the business!
01:08:35Yes!
01:08:39Though, speaking of tonight's celebration,
01:08:44there's something you all should be prepared for.
01:08:46For what?
01:08:48My uncle is bringing his fiancée tonight.
01:08:53The thing is,
01:08:54her and I were together until very recently.
01:08:59I know, I know, I know.
01:09:02But please,
01:09:03when they arrive,
01:09:05act normal.
01:09:06I couldn't bear any drama.
01:09:08She left you for your uncle.
01:09:12These things happen.
01:09:15Everyone!
01:09:16I'd like to introduce you to my fiancée,
01:09:20Lila Reed.
01:09:21Hello, everybody.
01:09:21It's lovely to meet you all.
01:09:23I need to check some numbers.
01:09:28Did 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,
01:09:44I've been worried.
01:09:46All this stress can't be good for the baby.
01:09:50Which hospital are you using?
01:09:53I 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.
01:10:04If I know her hospital,
01:10:05then I can get her surrogate history.
01:10:08How thoughtful.
01:10:10But 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.
01:10:39Some for business.
01:10:40Others for...
01:10:41You don't know him.
01:10:43Oh, but I do.
01:10:45Adrian Crawford cares exactly about one person.
01:10:49Adrian Crawford.
01:10:50He sees people as investments.
01:10:53Vivian?
01:10:54Perfect for managing the company.
01:10:56You?
01:10:58Well, I 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.
01:11:28Their purpose.
01:11:30Maybe it's time I found mine again.
01:11:53Baby, when's the last time you ate something?
01:11:56I don't know.
01:11:58Breakfast?
01:12:00Yesterday's breakfast.
01:12:04That's enough for today.
01:12:06Okay.
01:12:11The prenatal instructor said this exercise should help.
01:12:15Okay.
01:12:15Like this?
01:12:17Uh, almost.
01:12:28Um, I think I need a little more instruction.
01:12:54Everything looks perfect.
01:12:56The 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
01:13:08gentle.

01:20:04You've been at this for hours.
01:20:06I 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?
01:20:38Hello?
01:20:38The Singapore merger just collapsed.
01:20:40They say they'll only work with Adrian.
01:20:42This is all your fault!
01:20:44This is all your fault!
01:20:44You and your billion plan to get rid of them!
01:20:46My fault?
01:20:47You'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.
01:21:05Oh my god, this story sounds exactly like the top four scandal.
01:21:09Wait, is this about the Adrian Crawford?
01:21:14The billionaire CEO giving up everything for love.
01:21:18I'm crying.
01:21:22Everything okay?
01:21:23I think I just went viral.
01:21:27They've heard out stories about us.
01:21:29Look!
01:21:30Should I be concerned about what else you've revealed about me?
01:21:50Have you seen the comments?
01:21:51They're calling us heartless villains!
01:21:55Can't believe they're trying to suffer from true love businesses.
01:21:59Crawford Industries lost my business.
01:22:01Team 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?
01:22:12What?
01:22:14Um, I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to call you right back.
01:22:17Okay, thank you.
01:22:19Don't put me right.
01:22:20What?
01:22:21Oh my god.
01:22:22My wife is so popular now.
01:22:23I know.
01:22:29Your father?
01:22:34Son.
01:22:35The board wants you back.
01:22:37Take your position.
01:22:39Your inheritance.
01:22:40I'll have to ask my wife.
01:22:43What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:22:50The first order of business.
01:22:52Starting without me.
01:22:54Perfect timing.
01:22:55I'm announcing your termination.
01:22:58You can't fire me.
01:22:59I'm a shareholder and a senior executive.
01:23:03The company crisis last month wasn't an accident.
01:23:06You and Ethan deliberately sabotaged our deal.
01:23:09You can't prove any...
01:23:11Email, every call, every secret meeting with our competitors.
01:23:16All documented.
01:23:18Lawsuit's already been filed.
01:23:19You and Ethan will be hearing from our lawyers.
01:23:32Oh my god.
01:23:33Yeah.
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.
01:24:01Including a multi-billion dollar company.
01:24:12Before we vote, there is something you should know.
01:24:16Adrian and Lila were legally married two months ago.
01:24:22And they have my full blessing.
01:24:37Both my girls still awake?
01:24:46I'm just finishing.
01:25:01We will call you everything else.
01:25:02In the sense of the QUESTION,
