Transcript
00:00:02Three years. Three years I've loved him. Everyone tells me Ethan will never change. That a man like him only
00:00:09loves himself.
00:00:12But they don't see the real Ethan. I know he loves me.
00:00:17Thank you so much. I really, really appreciate it. Thank you.
00:00:22Tonight it will be our big night and I'll give him all of me. We'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:00:30A family of our own.
00:00:44I'm so sorry.
00:00:55It's like a family of our own.
00:00:58Hmm?
00:01:04I'm so sorry.
00:01:09I'm so sorry.
00:01:13Huh?
00:01:21What is that?
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.
00:02:14Come and join us.
00:02:20Three years.
00:02:21Three years!
00:02:22I wasted on you!
00:02:24God, I'm such an idiot!
00:02:27I was thinking I was gonna have a baby with you!
00:02:32Baby?
00:02:34Sweetheart, you wouldn't even put out after three years
00:02:37and now you're thinking about playing mommy?
00:02:40Though...
00:02:41If you're finally ready to spread those legs...
00:02:45These lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:02:50Screw you!
00:03:02I'm not gonna let you take this from me too.
00:03:09You know what?
00:03:10I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:03:12One appointment.
00:03:14One sperm donor.
00:03:15I 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,
00:03:39Ivy League educated.
00:03:40Impeccable health histories.
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 your place and will disappear after delivery.
00:03:56No!
00:03:57No!
00:03:57Ah!
00:03:57Oh, my God.
00:04:43Oh, my God.
00:04:57Um, let's get started.
00:05:01Hey, um, education background.
00:05:05Excuse me?
00:05:06And I'm gonna 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.
00:05:34I are attractive men, so full of themselves.
00:05:39I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:05:42I need to know your reproductive history.
00:05:45So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:05:49I can't show her out.
00:05:52Thompson, leave us.
00:05:57What are you doing?
00:05:59Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:06:10Harvard Business School, MBA, top of class.
00:06:14No 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, of course, um, I'm perfectly healthy too, no genetic disorders, and, 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?
00:07:02Well, 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, uh, considering the quality, um, I could, I could
00:07:20help, I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:07:22Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:07:31Uh, all of this?
00:07:34Seriously?
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.
00:07:57Surrogacy?
00:07:58Surrogacy.
00:07:58The position you're interviewing for.
00:08:01Interview?
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, um, 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.
00:08:34Not 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?
00:09:25How 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.
00:09:56Sorry.
00:09:56I'm passing.
00:10:03Hi.

00:11:36about yesterday I may have been a bit hasty you're reconsidering don't sound so smug about
00:11:42it I have my reasons as do I I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms what kind
00:11:54of modification joint custody you wouldn't be just carrying the child you'd be the baby's
00:11:59mother why would you agree to that you're honest direct no hidden agenda qualities I want in my

00:18:42Control, this is the next game.
00:18:45Control.
00:19:01Sorry, didn't see you there.
00:19:07You're always in the way.
00:19:11Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancΓ©.
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? Mutual friends?
00:19:42Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:19:49Unless 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.
00:20:00The 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 fiancΓ©, your presence is required.
00:20:21I'll be honored.
00:20:22Hmm. Perfect.
00:20:24I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:20:30You can go now.
00:20:43Excuse me, Miss Rie.
00:20:44I need to clean.
00:20:46Of course.
00:20:46Let me just...
00:20:47What is this?
00:20:52Is this what she's 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.
00:21:04Let me help you with this.
00:21:06My friends!
00:21:08How 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 trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:21:21Mr. Crawford, she just attacked me.
00:21:26I was trying to help with it.
00:21:28Get out.
00:21:29But 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.
00:21:47Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:21:48I need some space.
00:21:52You take the bed.
00:21:53I'll take the sofa.
00:21:56I miss you so much, Daddy.
00:21:58Don't worry about me, okay?
00:22:00As long as we can get you better,
00:22:02I won't let their words get to me.
00:22:04I promise.
00:22:06Lila, what happened?
00:22:08What should I do?
00:22:22How's the happy couple?
00:22:33Oh, that's awkward.
00:22:37Just 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.
00:22:47Perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:49What should I do?
00:23:06Ah!
00:23:33Focus.
00:23:34This is just a simple, not medical procedure.
00:23:39Just pretend she's out, right outside.
00:23:45Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:23:49Yeah, 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...
00:23:57Oh, sure, honestly, it's fine.
00:23:58I can come in if you need me to.
00:24:02Come in.
00:24:13So, you want to help?
00:24:14Of course.
00:24:15What do you need me to...
00:24:21Oh, 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.
00:24:27I'm just...
00:24:27I'm just gonna...
00:24:28Just go somewhere.
00:24:30I just need you.
00:24:31Somewhere very far.
00:24:33I'm sorry.
00:24:34Okay.
00:24:36Well, that was helpful.
00:24:43Are you okay?
00:24:45Yeah.
00:24:46Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:24:49It's causing you pain.
00:24:51Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable, but I mean, it will pass.
00:24:55Oh.
00:24:56Here.
00:24:59Oh.
00:25:00Okay.
00:25:13Thanks.
00:25:17Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically
00:25:22a 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?
00:26:16Adrian.
00:26:20Um, about this weekend...
00:26:21I'm sorry, there's an emergency in Atlanta.
00:26:23The merge is falling apart.
00:26:25Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:26:29Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:31Guess I'll handle it on my own.
00:26:37Well, I don't suppose we should expect punctuality from a person who's probably never had a proper watch in her
00:26:43life.
00:26:44I introduce him to the lawson heiress, the senator's daughter.
00:26:49I don't understand why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:26:53What did you say she did, Ethan?
00:26:56Retail?
00:26:57Worse.
00:26:58A wannabe writer.
00:27:00She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:27:07Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:27:10I had the chef prepare her place setting and everything.
00:27:13She probably couldn't figure out which work to do, though.
00:27:27I apologize for the slight delay.
00:27:33My, my.
00:27:35Trying 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 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, baby.
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.
00:29:17Remember how shy you were?
00:29:19Always saying no.
00:29:22Land off me, bastard!
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?
00:29:41You're all right, dear.
00:29:43You look flushed.
00:29:46So, as I was saying about it, let's…
00:29:51Stop it.
00:29:53Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:29:56Stop it!
00:29:59Enough!
00:30:01No class?
00:30:02No manners?
00:30:03I don't know how you seduced my son,
00:30:06but someone like you
00:30:08could never deserve a place in this family!
00:30:11I...
00:30:12Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:30:24Adrian.
00:30:25If anyone's unworthy in this relationship,
00:30:27it's me.
00:30:28You wanna 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
00:30:37my name or my money.
00:30:40She, uh,
00:30:41refused me several times.
00:30:43Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:30:46The first woman who dared
00:30:47to stand out to me, and that's when
00:30:49I knew I had to have her.
00:30:55Sir, two things.
00:30:56Your sister has invited Miss Reed
00:30:58to tonight's family dinner,
00:30:59and your jet is ready.
00:31:00We can go now.
00:31:06Cancel it, Lance.
00:31:08What's the merger?
00:31:10Yes, sir.
00:31:13Funny,
00:31:14that last week family's dinners were
00:31:15the most pointless waste of time
00:31:17in existence.
00:31:22Something's more important than business.
00:31:23Something's more important than business.
00:31:28Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:31:31Too bad it's either a complete lie,
00:31:34or she's been playing us both.
00:31:38What are you talking about?
00:31:39We've been dating for three years.
00:31:42I have pictures of us together.
00:31:48What?
00:31:50She probably planned this from the start.
00:31:52Dating me to get close to the family,
00:31:55then 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
00:32:03to the top.
00:32:05Face it, Uncle.
00:32:07You're just another rung on her ladder
00:32:09to the top.
00:32:14That's for every lie you just told.
00:32:20Adrian!
00:32:21How dare you hit my son!
00:32:22Where do you think you're going?
00:32:24We are not finished here yet!
00:32:25Yes, we are.
00:32:31I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:32:34Thank you for coming back
00:32:35and for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:32:44Your hands, what happened?
00:33:00As my fiancΓ©e, you have access to the family accounts.
00:33:04I expect you to use them.
00:33:06I... I didn't want to presume.
00:33:08You're a Crawford now.
00:33:20Dr. Anderson.
00:33:21Mr. Crawford.
00:33:23The embryos are ready,
00:33:25so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:33:28I see.
00:33:31What is it?
00:33:32Is-is something wrong with the embryos?
00:33:34I've been thinking...
00:33:36perhaps we should approach this matter in a more...
00:33:41natural...
00:33:42manner.
00:33:43Between the husband...
00:33:45and wife.
00:33:47What are your thoughts?
00:33:49Yes.
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...
00:34:01Good 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.
00:34:26See that white spot?
00:34:29That's our baby.
00:34:36You know, I can walk.
00:34:38Doctor's orders?
00:34:39You seem more nervous than I do.
00:34:46I'm merely following medical procedure.
00:34:57Look at her.
00:34:59She's acting like a princess.
00:35:02She was probably a waitress last week.
00:35:07Now she's got Mr. Crawford wrapped around her finger.
00:35:36Oh...
00:35:45Adrian!
00:35:46Hmm...
00:35:47Not quite.
00:35:47Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:35:49Let go of me!
00:35:51Come on!
00:35:52You used to love being in my arms.
00:35:55Remember how we would spend hours at the cafe?
00:35:58You would lean into me while reading your favorite book?
00:36:01Did she?
00:36:04Adrian!
00:36:05I was...
00:36:06I was just getting food, I swear.
00:36:11Get out!
00:36:17Stomach.
00:36:18Lada, what's wrong?
00:36:19My stomach.
00:36:19I think that there's something wrong.
00:36:22If anything...
00:36:24Anything...
00:36:24Happens to my fiancee or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:36:28And you...
00:36:30What you want.
00:36:32You'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?
00:36:52Well...
00:36:54It's not gonna happen.
00:37:06Thombone....
00:37:06ThOmpson.
00:37:07Clear 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?
00:37:24Why is that?
00:37:32You seem very concerned about him.
00:37:34I 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.
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. 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?
00:38:26Yes, it's nutritious.
00:38:28The baby wants chocolate.
00:38:30The baby wants chocolate.
00:38:32Yeah, and chips and ice cream.
00:38:36You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you?
00:38:40I've been researching optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:38:43See, week by week, guidelines.
00:38:46Okay, okay, okay.
00:38:47How about a compromise?
00:38:49One treat per day.
00:38:51Half a treat.
00:38:53Three quarters.
00:38:54Happy years.
00:39:16Congratulations.
00:39:18The fetus is developing perfectly.
00:39:21Really?
00:39:23Everything looks wonderful.
00:39:25Now that we're in the stable period,
00:39:27I would recommend you starting some prenatal exercise.
00:39:31What kind of exercise?
00:39:35Now, hold her from behind in a maternal post.
00:39:45Maybe we should skip this part.
00:39:48I'm here to drink. Let's do it properly.
00:39:50Guide her arms up.
00:40:01This is a little intimate.
00:40:03And now, the supporting stretch.
00:40:13Good drink.
00:40:17Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:40:22Maybe we should continue this album.
00:40:24Yeah, please.
00:40:43The Charity Gala isn't a test.
00:40:46Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:41:08You're perfect.
00:41:12Just be yourself.
00:41:18Then...
00:41:20This...
00:41:21This is not me.
00:41:24The Charity Gala's is a re-interested one.
00:41:34No.
00:41:50The Charity Gala's is a re-interested one.
00:41:51We're all over her.
00:41:52The Charity Gala.
00:41:52The Charity Gala.
00:41:53The Charity Gala.
00:42:02And you must be the fiancΓ©e.
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, you two are finally back together.
00:42:31Everyone, look who's here, the golden couple.
00:42:36I heard Adrienne Colford was engaged. I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:42:41When is the wedding?
00:42:45Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancΓ©e, Lala 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 so sorry. I just assumed congratulations for you both.
00:43:12Adrienne Colford and a complete unknown? How did you manage that?
00:43:17Adrienne chose her over Vivian. Is he crazy?
00:43:20Oh, Benji, how have you been?
00:43:23Great.
00:43:24Let's go.
00:43:31They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:43:35Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:43:42Gentlemen, what are y'all talking about?
00:43:50They do look like the perfect couple.
00:44:05Drinking? I thought you were pregnant.
00:44:08None of your business.
00:44:13You know how Adrienne 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?
00:44:29Perfect couple, right?
00:44:33Until...
00:44:34Dun-dun-dun...
00:44:36Vivian fell madly in love with me.
00:44:40Leaving dear Uncle heartbroken.
00:44:43Since then,
00:44:45whatever I want,
00:44:46he has to take.
00:44:48Whatever I have,
00:44:50he has to win.
00:44:52Like you.
00:44:54What you want,
00:44:56you never have.
00:44:58Never.
00:44:59You and Ethan,
00:45:00you've never really
00:45:01gone 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?
00:45:39Oh, now you care.
00:45:43It's soda.
00:45:44I know what I'm doing.
00:45:47I know what I'm doing.
00:45:48I know what I'm doing.
00:45:51I know what I'm doing.
00:46:00I 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 talked to Ethan but not me.
00:46:10Oh, you do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:46:28Violet, open the door.
00:46:33Please.
00:46:50We walked that season, I'd go.
00:47:02The eggs are still warm.
00:47:08I 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? Making me breakfast, being all protective, just for the baby?
00:47:32Natalie, you've been so strange since yesterday, why?
00:47:35Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:47:44Yes.
00:47:51Yes.
00:47:52And then she got with Ethan?
00:47:55Yes.
00:47:58Okay, so I'm just...
00:47:59Vivian and I were...
00:48:00No.
00:48:01No.
00:48:06Sir, the Singapore Virgin is falling apart.
00:48:08We need you immediately.
00:48:10I'm in the middle of something.
00:48:12The board is threatening to pull out.
00:48:15I'll be there.
00:48:21We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back.
00:48:24Of course. Business first.
00:48:31Lila.
00:48:32Just go.
00:48:45Sir.
00:48:45Sir. There have been complications.
00:48:47Explain.
00:48:48During your absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members, suggesting a sudden marriage
00:48:54plans indicate a stable decision-making.
00:48:58Several executors are questioning if someone so personally distracted should have the company.
00:49:23Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing my personal life. Your sudden access has let me be very...
00:49:30clear.
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. And yes, I took some time off. And no, not a single person in
00:50:00this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:50:05Because without me, there will be a company left to inherit. Now, shall we discuss the murder?
00:50:16So no, shall we accept the murder?
00:50:17No.
00:50:34Now, shall I have one?
00:50:34Yes, shall we Australisle?
00:50:58What the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:51:02I was doing my job.
00:51:04Your job?
00:51:05It's to follow the family's strategy.
00:51:08Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:51:15You leave Lila out of this.
00:51:16You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:51:20Yeah, run along.
00:51:22Adults 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.
00:51:35That 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.
00:51:52Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:51:56Someone like me.
00:51:57Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:52:02Non-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.
00:52:22I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before either of you get to touch it.
00:52:27Adrian, be reasonable.
00:52:28She's worth a thousand of you.
00:52:31Tomorrow, 9 a.m., Vivian starts.
00:52:36No discussion.
00:52:38Is that all?
00:52:40Yes, for now.
00:52:42But don't disappoint me again.
00:52:47I'll be right back.
00:52:49I will.
00:53:18Stop it.
00:53:20Stop.
00:53:21Checking.
00:53:23This 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 while 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.
00:53:53Poot, Mara.
00:53:56Way to get back at Ethan.
00:54:02Follow!
00:54:03I'm fine!
00:54:05You're not fine.
00:54:06Hospital!
00:54:07Now!
00:54:07I'm fine!
00:54:09I'm fine!
00:54:22Thanks.
00:54:23I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciated you today.
00:54:29You know, you used to look at me like that.
00:54:34All sweet.
00:54:35Sincere.
00:54:36Don't.
00:54:38Why not?
00:54:40Why not?
00:54:40Is there really no chance for us?
00:54:42Ethan.
00:54:44Why not?
00:54:45Why not?
00:54:45He'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!
00:54:55Stop!
00:54:57What are you doing?
00:54:58I'm protecting you.
00:55:00From what?
00:55:00He's helping.
00:55:01He brought me here.
00:55:02My hand was bleeding.
00:55:03So now you're defending him?
00:55:04No.
00:55:05I'm defending the truth.
00:55:08Sometimes, I guess people surprise you.
00:55:11I see.
00:55:13Adrian.
00:55:15I'll call the doctor to come.
00:55:20I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OBGYN down immediately.
00:55:25Sir, it's just the one.
00:55:27Come.
00:55:27I want a full prenatal checkup.
00:55:29I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson.
00:55:31He's going to be down here in 10 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?
00:55:53Thompson, bring in the catering.
00:55:55The 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.
00:56:03I don't think that I did say...
00:56:05How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:56:08Pride and Prejudice.
00:56:09BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:56:12She likes to watch it when she's getting stressed.
00:56:14Which is why I upgraded out 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.
00:56:27Huh, Uncle?
00:56:32Oh, the Alzheimer's ring is 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?
00:57:07Yes, 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.
00:57:18You 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.
00:57:33We should leave.
00:57:33Let her rest.
00:57:43Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:57:46Or does he actually care?
00:57:59Mmm, mmm, mmm.
00:58:01Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
00:58:05Yes, father?
00:58:06Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:58:09Overworked, they say.
00:58:10From 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
00:59:01We 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, she'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
00:59:32Watch 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 Boyce?
01:00:02No, no
01:00:02Then who?
01:00:04It doesn't matter
01:00:05But what does matter is that this is my baby
01:00:08And I'm gonna love them so much
01:00:12With all the love that you gave me
01:00:16Baby
01:00:18I'm so sorry
01:00:20I'm sorry I couldn't
01:00:22Couldn't give you better
01:00:24If 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?
01:00:35Don'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
01:00:43Pregnant 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
01:00:58Ejiana
01:00:59I'm not just the father
01:01:01I'm the man who's gonna spend the rest of his life
01:01:03Making sure your daughter and our child get everything they deserve

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

01:02:36But what about Ethan and Vivian?

01:16:56I have proof too
01:16:59medical records from Crawford's medical center
01:17:01showing that Ms. Reed underwent fertility treatment
01:17:04for which she was generously compensated
01:17:08paid surrogacy

01:17:43but the mother, well, her services won't be required after delivery
01:17:55yes, I did the IVF treatment
01:17:57but I never, never saw this baby as a business transaction
01:18:06you know what, you can say whatever you want about me
01:18:09but don't you dare question my love for this child

01:18:34but I won't give up her
01:18:37she's my wife
01:18:38the only one that I will ever want
01:18:42We're getting married. Properly. Publicly.
01:18:47Fine. If you want to throw away everything for this, for this woman, then you will get nothing from this
01:18:57family.
01:18:58Nothing!
01:18:59Sign it. Renounce your inheritance. All of it.
01:19:07No, no, no, no. Adrian, stop. Not worth losing everything for.
01:19:11You're worth everything.
01:19:16The company, the assets, I built them once. I can build them again.
01:19:21But you, you and our child, we're our real future.
01:19:30Still time to think it over, son.
01:19:40Let's go.
01:19:51Thanks.
01:20:04You've been at this for hours.
01:20:07I just gotta finish this last chapter.
01:20:13I'll get you some food.
01:20:24What do you mean you're cancelling the contract? We've worked together for ten years!
01:20:32No, no, no. Don't call Adrian. Hello? Hello? Hello?
01:20:38The Singapore merger just collapsed. They say they'll only work with Adrian.
01:20:42This is all your fault! You and your billion plan to get rid of her.
01:20:46My fault? You're the one who can't handle basic accounting!
01:20:49Enough!
01:20:51The board meeting starts in five minutes. Please tell me you have good news.
01:21:05Oh my god, this story sounds exactly like a helpful scandal.
01:21:09Wait, is this about the... Adrian Crawford?
01:21:14The billionaires say you're giving up everything for love. I'm crying.
01:21:21Is everything okay? I think I just went viral.
01:21:26I heard out stories about us. Look!
01:21:30Should I be concerned about what else you've revealed about me?
01:21:49Have you seen the comments? They're calling us heartless villains!
01:21:55Can't believe they're trying to separate our true love businesses.
01:21:59Crawford Industries lost my business.
01:22:01Team Adrian all the way.
01:22:04Yes, Penguin Publishing. Sorry, I actually have Random House on the other line, so I'm gonna have to...
01:22:11The movie rights?
01:22:14Um, I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to call you right back.
01:22:17Okay, thank you.
01:22:19The movie rights!
01:22:20What?
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.
01:22:38Your inheritance.
01:22:40I'll have to ask my wife.
01:22:43What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:22:50First order of business.
01:22:52You're starting without me.
01:22:54Perfect timing.
01:22:55I'm announcing your termination.
01:22:57You can't fire me.
01:22:59I'm a shareholder and a senior executive.
01:23:02The company crisis last month wasn't an accident.
01:23:06You and Ethan deliberately sabotaged our deal.
01:23:09You can't prove any free email, every call, every secret meeting without competitors.
01:23:16All documented.
01:23:18Lawsuit's already been filed.
01:23:19You and Ethan will be hearing from our lawyers.
01:23:21What?
01:23:23What?
01:23:31Oh my god.
01:23:33Oh my god.
01:23:39Adrian.
01:23:41I think my water just broke.
01:23:44Yeah.
01:23:45Come home.
01:23:48Mr. Crawford, they vote for new director.
01:23:56For her, he'd drop everything, including a multi-billion dollar card.
01:24:12Before we vote, there is something you should know.
01:24:15Adrian and Lila were legally married two months ago.
01:24:21And they have my full blessing.
01:24:37Both my girls still awake?
01:24:45I'm just finishing.
01:24:48I'm just finishing.
01:25:00I'm just finishing.
01:25:02I'm just finishing.
