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.
00:01:20But I'm so sorry, Ethan.
00:01:22I'm so sorry.
00:01:23I'm so sorry.
00:01:24I can't remember.
00:01:25I don't know.
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.
00:02:21Three years, I wasted on you!
00:02:23Oh, God, 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, you wouldn't even put out after three years
00:02:37and now you're thinking about playing Mommy.
00:02:40Though,
00:02:42if you're finally ready to spread those legs,
00:02:44these lovely ladies can show you how it'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?
00:03:10I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:03:13One appointment,
00:03:14one sperm donor,
00:03:15and now I can have a baby of my own.
00:03:25Six months to produce an heir
00:03:27or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:03:31Everything I've built over the last decade,
00:03:34gone.
00:03:35The surrogate candidates are all thoroughbreds,
00:03:38so...
00:03:39Ivy League educates
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 their place
00:03:48and will disappear after delivery.
00:04:13I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:20I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:22I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:33Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:04:37The interview?
00:04:39Yes, of course.
00:04:45Okay.
00:04:50Please sit
00:04:56Right, um, let's get started
00:05:01Hey, um, education background
00:05:04Excuse me?
00:05:06And I'm gonna need a full medical history
00:05:09Specifically genetic disorders
00:05:11Do 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 crossword
00:05:50I can't show her out
00:05:51Thompson
00:05:52Leave us
00:05:57What are you doing?
00:05:59Making sure this interview is more thorough
00:06:10Harvard 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
00:06:22Intimate matters
00:06:23I can assure you performance has never been an issue
00:06:29Now Thompson is gone
00:06:31Are you comfortable to share yours?
00:06:33Um, yes
00:06:34Of course
00:06:38I'm perfectly healthy too
00:06:40No genetic disorders
00:06:42And I get regular checkups
00:06:44Um, I've even been taking prenatal vitamins
00:06:50You really do seem like the perfect match
00:06:53Good
00:06:55Now, regarding compensation
00:06:57What figure did you have in mind?
00:07:01Well, I was thinking around $800
00:07:08I expected the fee to be significantly higher
00:07:13I know, I know it's not a lot of money
00:07:15But considering the quality
00:07:18I could, I could help
00:07:20I can do paperwork
00:07:21Whatever
00:07:22Thompson
00:07:22Bring in the contracts
00:07:32All of this?
00:07:34Seriously?
00:07:35Take your time to review
00:07:37But the key point
00:07:38Is after birth
00:07:40The 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
00:08:00Interview?
00:08:02I'm hit by sperm
00:08:03You came to what?
00:08:06I thought you were a donor
00:08:08That's why I was asking you all the questions
00:08:10About the history and stuff
00:08:12I thought you were here to be my surrogate
00:08:15Right, um, well
00:08:17I guess, I guess I've, um
00:08:18Made a mistake
00:08:19So I'm just gonna go
00:08:21Wait
00:08:25A million dollars
00:08:26For carrying my child
00:08:30I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford
00:08:33Not somebody else's
00:08:36Ah
00:08:37You might need that
00:08:46Clean this up
00:08:48Bring in the next
00:08:56Hello?
00:08:57Miss Reed
00:08:58Your father
00:08:59You need to come now
00:09:00Okay
00:09:01Okay, I'm coming
00:09:02I'm coming here
00:09:30Do something
00:09:31Save him
00:09:32Save him
00:09:33Is there a treatment you can do?
00:09:35Ah, there is a new treatment
00:09:37Okay, then let's do it
00:09:39But maybe it's quite expensive
00:09:41How much?
00:09:42Around one million dollars
00:09:44A million dollars?
00:09:46Yes
00:09:48Can I get a loan or something?
00:09:51Actually, this is a new technology
00:09:52And there is no loan policy
00:09:54Sorry
00:10:23Sorry
00:10:34This is the last batch.
00:10:37Yes, sir.
00:10:37The blonde wanted to know about ring sizes, and brunette asked about moving in, and the
00:10:46redhead...
00:10:47All of them want the Crawford name.
00:10:50Everyone's qualified.
00:10:53She was refreshing.
00:10:56No pretense.
00:10:57No schemes.
00:10:59But she wasn't even here for surrogacy.
00:11:03Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job.
00:11:18Hello.
00:11:19I'm the Reid.
00:11:20I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:11:31I've been thinking.
00:11:35About yesterday.
00:11:37I may have been a bit hasty.
00:11:39You're reconsidering.
00:11:41Don't sound so smug about it.
00:11:42I have my reasons.
00:11:44As do I.
00:11:47I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:11:52What kind of modification?
00:11:55Joint custody.
00:11:56You wouldn't be just carrying the child.
00:11:58You'd be the baby's mother.
00:12:00Why would you agree to that?
00:12:01You're honest.
00:12:02Direct.
00:12:04No hidden agenda.
00:12:07Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:12:09So I'd really get to be a part of the baby's life?
00:12:11Yes.
00:12:12But understand this clearly.
00:12:14We'll be parents.
00:12:15Nothing more.
00:12:17No romantic entanglements.
00:12:20No emotional expectations.
00:12:23Don't flutter yourself.
00:12:25God.
00:12:26Rich man and 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.
00:12:42If you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir.
00:12:47Forget it.
00:12:48What?
00:12:48The Crawford name means something.
00:12:50I won't let it be tainted by...
00:12:53I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:12:55What?
00:12:56We'll discuss this at dinner.
00:12:59Did I just get promoted from surrogate to fiancé?
00:13:07Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just say,
00:13:11just parents, nothing more?
00:13:14The situation requires adaptation.
00:13:20Is that CEO talk for I change my mind?
00:13:23We need a convincing story.
00:13:25You'll be staying at my house during the pregnancy.
00:13:27And after the baby comes?
00:13:29We'll arrange for an amicable separation,
00:13:31continue parenting,
00:13:32and I'll arrange for any additional compensation for the complexity.
00:13:38The original amount is fine, but I am going to need it soon.
00:13:56Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:14:05Wow.
00:14:07I think my whole apartment could fit in this entryway.
00:14:20Well, well, well.
00:14:22Missed me so much you tracked me down.
00:14:28Can't get over me, huh?
00:14:32Following me here like a lost puppy?
00:14:35Following you? Why would I...
00:14:36What are you doing here?
00:14:39Sweetheart, this is my family's house.
00:14:41I'm sure you know that.
00:14:43Hmm.
00:14:44You never let me have sex with you.
00:14:47But look at you now, sneaking into my house.
00:14:51Finally realize what you're missing, baby?
00:14:53Get your hands off me, you creep!
00:14:55I know.
00:14:56Playing hard to get used to be cute, but now?
00:14:58Huh?
00:14:59Come on, baby.
00:15:00We both know this is what you came here for.
00:15:04Uncle, what are you doing?
00:15:06Get your filthy hands off my fiancée!
00:15:10Your... your... what?
00:15:12Fiancée?
00:15:15Fiancée?
00:15:16How could she be your fiancée?
00:15:18She's just...
00:15:18Watch your mouth.
00:15:19Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:15:25This is crazy!
00:15:27You seriously don't know!
00:15:28I won't repeat myself.
00:15:30Stay away from my fiancée.
00:15:32One more word?
00:15:33You can kiss that trust fund.
00:15:35Goodbye.
00:15:36Goodbye.
00:15:53You alright?
00:15:55Yeah.
00:15:56So...
00:15:57Ethan.
00:15:58He's your nephew.
00:16:00Then he's your...
00:16:02Well, he was...
00:16:04He's kinda...
00:16:05He was my boyfriend.
00:16:07I mean, ex-boyfriend.
00:16:09I mean, like, extremely ex-ex-boyfriend.
00:16:13I see.
00:16:15Thompson will bring your things in shortly.
00:16:22Um...
00:16:23So...
00:16:24Where am I staying?
00:16:27Here.
00:16:29What?
00:16:30Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple sleep in separate rooms.
00:16:36Oh, of course.
00:16:37Fake engagement.
00:16:38Real roommates.
00:16:42Don't worry.
00:16:43I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:17:11What are you doing?
00:17:13This is the line.
00:17:15Don't cross it.
00:17:16Ever.
00:17:18For sure.
00:17:20Good.
00:17:37My plan worked perfectly.
00:17:42Wait.
00:17:43How did I...
00:17:52Sir?
00:17:55Are you okay?
00:17:57Fine.
00:17:58Continue.
00:18:07Stay on your side.
00:18:15Lila.
00:18:16Wake up.
00:18:21Lila.
00:18:21Please.
00:18:22What?
00:18:23No.
00:18:25No.
00:18:26No.
00:18:55C-
00:19:01Sorry. Didn't see you there.
00:19:06You're always in the way.
00:19:11Ah! My brother's mysterious fiancé.
00:19:15Mrs. Crawford.
00:19:16Catherine, please. We're family now. Supposedly.
00:19:21Helen, tea, please.
00:19:23Yes, Mrs. Crawford.
00:19:27So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:19:32Through mutual friends.
00:19:36Oh, really? Mutual friends?
00:19:42Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:19:48Unless this is more of a business arrangement.
00:19:51I'm sorry?
00:19:52Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved.
00:19:59The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:20:12Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancé, your presence is required.
00:20:20I'd be honored.
00:20:22Perfect. I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:20:29You can go now.
00:20:42Excuse me, Miss Ri.
00:20:44I need to clean.
00:20:45Of course. Let me just...
00:20:46Do you think of this?
00:20:51Is this what she wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:55How creative.
00:20:57It must be hot on your family.
00:20:59Watching you chase after rich men.
00:21:03Let me help you with this.
00:21:05My friends!
00:21:07How clumsy of me.
00:21:08You did that on purpose.
00:21:10Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:21:13You're just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:21:20Mr. Crawford, she just attacked me!
00:21:25I was trying to help with the-
00:21:27Get out!
00:21:28But I was just-

00:21:41Nothing.
00:21:43I need some space. I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:21:46Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:21:47I need some space!
00:21:51You take the bed. I'll take the sofa.
00:21:55I miss you so much, Teddy.
00:21:57Don't worry about me, okay?
00:21:59As long as we can get you better,
00:22:02I won't let their words get to me.
00:22:04I promise.

00:26:50this gold digger from god knows where what did you say she did ethan retail worse a wannabe writer she
00:26:59probably thought that landing a crawford would be her best-selling story

00:35:29she's got mr crawford wrapped around her finger
00:35:44Adrian!
00:35:45Hmm, not quite.
00:35:47Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:35:49Let go of me!
00:35:50Oh, come on.
00:35:51You used to love being in my arms.
00:35:54Remember how we would spend hours at the cafe?
00:35:57You would lean into me while reading your favorite book?
00:36:01Did she?
00:36:04Adrian! I was just getting food, I swear.
00:36:10Get out!
00:36:16My stomach.
00:36:17Lida, what's wrong?
00:36:18My stomach, I think that there's something wrong.
00:36:21If anything, anything happens to my fiancé or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:36:27And you.
00:36:30What you want, you'll never have.
00:36:33Never.
00:36:39Child.
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, it's not gonna happen.
00:37:05Thompson, clear my schedule.
00:37:07Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:37:10Sir, what happened?
00:37:11Do you need my help?
00:37:12You can't help on this one.
00:37:13Just do what I say.
00:37:17You and Ethan, you've never really gotten along, have you?
00:37:24Why is that?
00:37:31You seem very concerned about him.
00:37:34I just...
00:37:35Just get some rest.
00:37:36It's been a rough day for you.
00:37:37Adrian, why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:37:41No reason.
00:37:43I just know you're not like that.
00:37:46Thanks.
00:37:47Get some rest.
00:37:49Do whatever makes you comfortable.
00:37:50Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:37:53Anything I want?
00:37:54Are you sure about that?
00:38:23What are you doing?
00:38:24Yes, it's 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.
00:38:42See, week by week, guidelines.
00:38:45Okay, okay, okay.
00:38:46How about a compromise?
00:38:48One treat per day.
00:38:50Half a treat.
00:38:52Three quarters.
00:38:54Three quarters.
00:38:55Three quarters.
00:39:16One treat.
00:39:16Congratulations.
00:39:17The fetus is developing perfectly.
00:39:20Really?
00:39:22Everything looks wonderful.
00:39:24Now that we're in the stable period,
00:39:26I would recommend you starting some prenatal exercise.
00:39:31What kind of exercise?
00:39:34Now, hold her from behind in a maternal pose.
00:39:45Maybe we should skip this part.
00:39:47I'm here to train. Let's do it properly.
00:39:49Guide her arms up.
00:40:00This is a little intimate.
00:40:03And now, the supporting stretch.
00:40:17Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:40:21Maybe we should continue this at home.
00:40:23Yeah, please.
00:40:42The charity gala isn't a test.
00:40:46Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:40:51Yeah.
00:41:07You look perfect.
00:41:11Just be yourself.
00:41:18Then...
00:41:19This...
00:41:21This is not me.
00:41:40Adrian!
00:41:43It's been too long.
00:41:49You look exactly the same.
00:42:02And you must be the fiancé.
00:42:04I'm so pleased Adrienne has found someone after all these years.
00:42:09That's really kind, but I'm sorry. Who are you?
00:42:15I'm just someone who cares about Adrienne's happiness. More than anyone else.
00:42:25Oh my god! You two are finally back together.
00:42:31Everyone, look who's here, the golden couple.
00:42:35I heard Adrienne Corford was engaged. I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:42:40When is the wedding?
00:42:44Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancé, Lala Reid.
00:42:56We're expecting our first child, and of course you're all welcome to the wedding.
00:43:00She's pregnant?
00:43:02Oh, I'm so sorry. I just assumed congratulations for you both.
00:43:12Adrienne Corford and a complete unknown? How did you manage that?
00:43:16Adrienne chose her over Vivian. Is he crazy?
00:43:20Oh, Benji. How have you been?
00:43:22Great.
00:43:23Let's go, pal.
00:43:30They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:43:34Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:43:41Gentlemen!
00:43:42What are y'all talking about?
00:43:49They do look like the perfect couple.
00:44:04Drinking?
00:44:05I thought you were pregnant.
00:44:08None of your business.
00:44:12You know how Adrienne is.
00:44:14Always has to win.
00:44:16Especially against me.
00:44:18He hates when I take things from him.
00:44:20What are you talking about?
00:44:29Perfect couple, right?
00:44:32Until...
00:44:33Dun-dun-dun!
00:44:36Vivian fell madly in love with me.
00:44:39Leaving dear Uncle heartbroken.
00:44:42Since then,
00:44:44whatever I want,
00:44:46he has to take.
00:44:48Whatever I have,
00:44:49he has to win.
00:44:51Like you.
00:44:54What you want,
00:44:55you never have.
00:44:57Never.
00:44:58You 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.
00:45:07You're just his tool for revenge.
00:45:18I'm just his tool for revenge?
00:45:34I'm just his tool for revenge.
00:45:35I'm just his tool for revenge.
00:45:38Oh, now you care.
00:45:42It's soda.
00:45:43I know what I'm doing.
00:45:59What happened back there?
00:46:01Talk to me.
00:46:03Lila, I'm worried.
00:46:06So 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.
00:46:32Please.
00:46:35Lila, open the door.
00:46:39Please.
00:46:39Please.
00:46:39Please.
00:46:39Please.
00:46:40I love you.
00:47:01Please.
00:47:02Please.
00:47:04Please.
00:47:04still warm? I apologize about last night. I was just worried about you. Worried about
00:47:13me or worried about the baby? What do you mean? Is this why you're being so nice to me? Making
00:47:24me breakfast, being all protective, just for the baby? Laila, you've been so strange since
00:47:34yesterday. Why? Was Vivian your girlfriend? Yes. And then she got with Ethan? Yes. Okay, so I'm just... Vivian and
00:47:59I were...
00:48:05Sir, the Singapore version is falling apart. We need to immediately. I'm in the middle of summer.
00:48:11The board is threatening to pull out. I'll be there.
00:48:21We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back. Of course. Business first.
00:48:31Laila. Just go.
00:48:44Sir, there have been complications. Explain. During your absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members,
00:48:52suggesting our sudden marriage plans indicate a stable decision-making. Several executors are
00:48:59questioning if someone so personally distracted should and hurt the company.
00:49:22Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing my personal life. Your sudden access has let me be very clear.
00:49:34This company took a 40% profit loss before I took over. Within three years, I tripled our market share.
00:49:42Every major merger. Every major merger. Every successful acquisition. Every stock surge. My execution. My strategies.
00:49:50So yes, I am getting married. And yes, I took some time off. And no, not a single person in
00:49:59this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:50:04Because without me, there wouldn't be a company left to me. Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:50:48Yes, sir.
00:50:56Adrian, what the hell were you thinking of the board meeting yesterday?
00:51:01I was doing my job.
00:51:03Your job is to follow the family strategy.
00:51:07Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:51:14You leave Violet out of this.
00:51:16You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:51:19Yeah, run along. Adolfs are talking business now.
00:51:23We just need to bore him for a moment, dear.
00:51:26Business matters. You 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.
00:51:52Adrienne needs someone who understands this world.
00:51:55Someone like me.
00:51:58Vivian 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 stay.
00:52:11That's all she's good for.
00:52:15Get out!
00:52:16Both of you!
00:52:18How dare you!
00:52:19If you dare mention my wife's name again.
00:52:21I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before either of you get to touch it.
00:52:26Adrienne, be reasonable.
00:52:28She's worth a thousand of you.
00:52:32Tomorrow, 9am. Vivian starts. No discussion.
00:52:37Is that all?
00:52:39Yes, for now.
00:52:41But don't disappoint me again.
00:52:43We don't have to wait!
00:52:46I have to wait!
00:52:47I'm in the back.
00:52:53You can't be in the back.
00:52:55You, you, you.
00:52:59You, you, you.
00:53:17Stop it! Stop checking! This is ridiculous!
00:53:25I was independent before. I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst
00:53:33I sleep.
00:53:34No! I'm not going to be that girl. I can make my own meals.
00:53:43I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:53:52Improved marrow. Way to get back at Ethan.
00:54:01Philo! I'm fine!
00:54:04You're not fine! Hospital! Now!
00:54:07I'm fine!
00:54:08Philo!
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.
00:54:37Why 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.
00:54:53Adrian, 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.
00:55:02So now you're defending him?
00:55:04No, I'm defending the truth. Sometimes, I guess people surprise you.
00:55:10I see.
00:55:12Adrian.
00:55:14I'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 morning to come.
00:55:27I want a full prenatal check-up. I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson. He's going to be down here in
00:55:31ten minutes.
00:55:33Always so controlled. Aren't you, Uncle?
00:55:37Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:55:42Remember our beach dates?
00:55:45How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:55:52Thompson, bring in the catering. The Michelin star one. Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian lagoon beef.
00:55:59Oh, well done. No sauce.
00:56:02I don't think that I did say...
00:56:04How 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.
00:56:13Which is why I upgraded out home to your system.
00:56:16To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:56:20You did what?
00:56:21Wow!
00:56:24Using money to get to her heart.
00:56:27Huh, Uncle?
00:56:32Oh, the Alzheimer's ring is fully renovated. Named after Lila's grandmother. As she mentioned.
00:56:38Oh, it's a fully funded. Anonymous donor. Hmm.
00:56:46He may be able to offer you money, but you're gonna miss this.
00:57:03Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:57:07Try to smile, ma.
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.
00:57:16Wow.
00:57:17Wow. You 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.
00:57:42Is this just another competition, Ethan? Or does he actually care?
00:58:04Yes, father?
00:58:06Vivian's been hospitalized. Overwork, they say, from cleaning up your company's mess.
00:58:12I have meetings.
00:58:13Cancel them.
00:58:15Go to visit her right now.
00:58:18Either you show proper respect the woman I chose for you,
00:58:21or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
00:58:42You came.
00:58:45Let'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?
00:58:55No.
00:58:55No.
00:58:55That was a long time ago.
00:58:58We were really great together, Adrian.
00:59:01We could be together again.
00:59:03I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
00:59:06What we had, I never took it as seriously as you pretended to.
00:59:11But Lila, she's different.
00:59:14She's real.
00:59:16Pregnant gold digger is real?
00:59:18No, please.
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.
00:59:46Daddy.
00:59:48No.
00:59:50Your hand.
00:59:51It's nothing.
00:59:54I need to tell you something.
00:59:57I'm gonna be a mother.
00:59:59Is it that Ethan boys?
01:00:01No, no.
01:00:02Then who?
01:00:03It 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.
01:00:19I'm sorry I couldn't, couldn't give you better.
01:00:24Daddy.
01:00:24If only I were healthy, if I could work.
01:00:27Daddy, don't.
01:00:30The hospital bills, what are you getting money for?
01:00:34Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:00:36No, no.
01:00:37It'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.
01:00:48Hi, Mr. Reid.
01:00:50I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:00:55I'm the father of her child.
01:00:57Adriana.
01:00:58I'm not just the father.
01:01:00I'm the man who's gonna spend the rest of his life making sure your daughter and our child get everything
01:01:05they deserve.
01:01:06Pretty words from a rich man.
01:01:09Not words. Facts.
01:01:10I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:01:13Full treatment plan, best specialists.
01:01:16Adrian.
01:01:17Adrian.
01:01:18And I promise you this.
01:01:21Every morning, she's gonna wake up knowing that she is cherished.
01:01:25Every decision I make, every step I take will be to ensure her happiness.
01:01:29You really mean that, don't you?
01:01:31Yes sir, I do.
01:01:35Well...
01:01:38Maybe...
01:01:38I can stop worrying now.
01:01:49For...
01:01:49What you said in there.
01:01:51I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:01:53No, no, no, no.
01:01:54I wasn't just doing anything.
01:01:57Every word I said in there is true.
01:02:00Adrian.
01:02:06Laila, I need to tell you something.
01:02:08I've been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
01:02:14Yes, we had a contract, but...
01:02:16I realized...
01:02:19You've become everything to me.
01:02:21You're not my surrogate.
01:02:24You're not my convenient fiance.
01:02:28You'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 and...
01:02:44Revenge?
01:02:45I never loved Vivian.
01:02:48And Ethan, he's not worth his second thought.
01:02:50Really?
01:02:52Then who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:02:59That was...
01:03:03I was jealous, okay?
01:03:05I...
01:03:06The thought of you with him.
01:03:08Wow.
01:03:09The great Mr. Crawford.
01:03:11Jealous.
01:03:12Don't mention it.
01:03:14I have a reputation to maintain.
01:03:15Hmm.
01:03:29I'm not letting you go.
01:03:32Not ever.
01:03:41surrogacy.
01:03:42Contract of marriage.
01:03:44Oh, this is too perfect.
01:03:53I don't know.
01:04:21Whiskey. Neat.
01:04:24What'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.
01:04:41Their whole engagement is a lie.
01:04:44A contract.
01:04:47Hmm. The board would love to hear about this.
01:04:52Next week's family meeting.
01:04:54We'll reveal everything.
01:04:56Until then, let's gather more evidence.
01:05:01And once he's ruined...
01:05:03I'll comfort him.
01:05:04Help him rebuild.
01:05:06He'll remember who he truly belongs with.
01:05:12And Lila?
01:05:14Well, once the truth's out, she'll be worthless to him.
01:05:17You can have your little toy back.
01:05:22Cheers.
01:05:39Ethan's in meetings all afternoon.
01:05:42That's okay. I don't mind waiting.
01:05:45These documents require his immediate attention.
01:05:52Would you mind getting me some tea, dear?
01:06:00Sorry to see agreements.
01:06:01No contracts.
01:06:04Come on.
01:06:07The train's always so organized.
01:06:09Where is everything?
01:06:19It's just a stupid cat.
01:06:31Are you okay?
01:06:33You're a beast!
01:06:35Attack me!
01:06:37I need your bathroom.
01:06:39Now!
01:06:47Adrian!
01:06:49I've been waiting for you.
01:06:55You know,
01:06:57if you need an heir,
01:06:59we could make one.
01:07:01Right here.
01:07:03Right now.
01:07:05Lila doesn't have to know.
01:07:07She's already asleep.
01:07:10It could just be our
01:07:12little secret.
01:07:15Here?
01:07:17In the living room?
01:07:20Wherever you want.
01:07:22Someone might see us.
01:07:24Are you scared?
01:07:29I know somewhere more
01:07:31private.
01:07:40Where are we going?
01:07:42Can't risk being interrupted,
01:07:44can we?
01:07:45Ladies first.
01:07:50Enjoy the fresh air.
01:07:53Adrian!
01:07:54Adrian!
01:07:55You can't do this to me!
01:07:57I'm a Crawford executor!
01:08:04Stop filming me!
01:08:05This is harassment!
01:08:07I will sue you!
01:08:08I will sue you so hard!
01:08:12Adrian!
01:08:13Adrian!
01:08:14Adrian, let me in!
01:08:23Everyone,
01:08:24this crisis
01:08:25could have destroyed us.
01:08:27But thanks to your
01:08:28tireless efforts,
01:08:30Crawford
01:08:31is stronger than ever.
01:08:32To the best team
01:08:33in the business!
01:08:34Yes!
01:08:38Though,
01:08:39speaking of tonight's celebration,
01:08:43there's something you all
01:08:44should be prepared for.
01:08:45For what?
01:08:48My uncle
01:08:49is bringing his fiancee tonight.
01:08:52The thing is,
01:08:53her and I were together
01:08:55until very recently.
01:08:59I know,
01:09:00I know,
01:09:00I know.
01:09:01But please,
01:09:02when they arrive,
01:09:04act normal.
01:09:05I couldn't bear any drama.
01:09:07She left you
01:09:09for your uncle.
01:09:11These things happen.
01:09:15Everyone,
01:09:16I'd like to introduce you
01:09:17to my fiancee,
01:09:19Lila Reed.
01:09:20Hello, everybody.
01:09:20It's lovely to meet you all.
01:09:22I need to check some numbers.
01:09:27Did I do something wrong?
01:09:37How are you feeling?
01:09:38Is the morning sickness over yet?
01:09:40I'm fine.
01:09:42You know,
01:09:43I've been worried.
01:09:45All this stress
01:09:46can't be good for the baby.
01:09:50Which hospital are you using?
01:09:52I could drive you next time.
01:09:54That's not necessary.
01:09:56Come on.
01:09:58We used to tell each other everything.
01:10:00Just want to make sure
01:10:01you're getting the proper care.
01:10:03If I know her hospital,
01:10:05then I can get her surrogate history.
01:10:07How thoughtful.
01:10:09But Adrian handles
01:10:10all my appointments personally.
01:10:12The real hero of the hour.
01:10:15Whoa!
01:10:20Beautiful,
01:10:21isn't she?
01:10:22The type of woman
01:10:23who belongs in Adrian's world.
01:10:26Excuse me.
01:10:28You know how my uncle thinks.
01:10:31Like a chess master.
01:10:34Every piece has its use.
01:10:36Some for business.
01:10:38Others for...
01:10:39You don't know him.
01:10:42Oh.
01:10:43But I do.
01:10:45Adrian Crawford cares exactly
01:10:46about one person.
01:10:48Adrian Crawford.
01:10:49He sees people as investments.
01:10:52Vivian?
01:10:53Perfect for managing the company.
01:10:56You?
01:10:57Well,
01:10:58I think we both know
01:10:59what your role is.
01:11:03He's wrong.
01:11:05He has to be wrong.
01:11:24Everyone in this world
01:11:25has their place.
01:11:27Their purpose.
01:11:30Maybe it's time
01:11:30I found mine again.
01:11:53Baby,
01:11:53when's the last time
01:11:54you ate something?
01:11:55I don't know.
01:11:58Breakfast?
01:11:59Yesterday's breakfast.
01:12:03That's enough for today.
01:12:06Okay.
01:12:10The prenatal instructor said
01:12:12this exercise should help.
01:12:14Okay.
01:12:15Like this?
01:12:16Uh,
01:12:17almost.
01:12:28I think I need a little more instruction.
01:12:53Everything looks perfect.
01:12:55The baby's development's right on track.
01:12:58Really?
01:13:00Really.
01:13:01Now that you're in the stable period,
01:13:04intimate relations is perfectly safe
01:13:06as long as you're gentle.
01:13:08Just listen to your bodies and...
01:13:11Yes.
01:13:11Thanks, uh, thank you, doctor.
01:13:17Let everything reveal.
01:13:31Dr. Andersen.
01:13:33Dr. Andersen.
01:13:54I hear that the new hospital complex
01:13:59is looking for department heads.
01:14:02Wouldn't it be a shame
01:14:03if your name was
01:14:07mysteriously removed from the list?
01:14:12Now,
01:14:14about those hospital records.
01:14:34Oh, my God.
01:14:41Surrogacy.
01:14:42Surrogacy.
01:14:44Five generations of Crawford dignity
01:14:47destroyed by tabloid gossip.
01:14:50I knew that girl
01:14:52was hiding something.
01:14:56Did you?
01:14:58Did you really pay some nobody
01:15:00to carry your heir?
01:15:02Tell me it isn't true.
01:15:11You.
01:15:13It's your doing.
01:15:15I...
01:15:16Adrian.
01:15:19I need to discuss something with you.
01:15:22Privately.
01:15:28Adrian.
01:15:29I can make all of this disappear.
01:15:32All you have to do is remember
01:15:33who you really belong with.
01:15:35Who I belong with.
01:15:36We were good together.
01:15:37We can't be again.
01:15:40Give me the position I deserve.
01:15:42As Mrs. Crawford by your side.
01:15:46I do need your help.
01:15:48Please,
01:15:49never show up again.
01:16:05I won't let them hurt you.
01:16:07It's not me I'm worried about.
01:16:10If they expose the truth
01:16:11about our arrangement,
01:16:13you could lose everything.
01:16:16Nothing is more important
01:16:18than you and our child.
01:16:37This emergency family meeting
01:16:40will come to order.
01:16:42I have proof.
01:16:43Miss Reed
01:16:45is not Adrian's loving bride-to-be.
01:16:49She's just a surrogate
01:16:51paid to carry
01:16:52the Crawford heir.
01:16:56I have proof too.
01:16:58Medical records
01:16:59from Crawford's medical center
01:17:01showing that Miss Reed
01:17:02underwent fertility treatment
01:17:04for which she was
01:17:05generously compensated.
01:17:08Paid surrogacy.
01:17:09How common?
01:17:13All right, fine.
01:17:14You want the truth?
01:17:15Yes.
01:17:16It started with a surrogacy.
01:17:19But Lilo,
01:17:20she's the woman I chose
01:17:21to be the mother of my child.
01:17:23And I won't let anyone here
01:17:25slander her.
01:17:27You want this arrangement?
01:17:28Fine.
01:17:30But then,
01:17:31it costs you everything.
01:17:35Resign from the company,
01:17:37give up your inheritance.
01:17:39The child can save the family.
01:17:42Of course.
01:17:43But the mother,
01:17:44well,
01:17:44her services won't be required
01:17:46after delivery.
01:17:53Yes.
01:17:55I did the IVF treatment.
01:17:57But I never,
01:17:58never saw this baby
01:18:00as a business transaction.
01:18:06You know what?
01:18:07You can say whatever
01:18:07you want about me.
01:18:09But don't you dare
01:18:11question my love
01:18:12for this child.
01:18:25enough!
01:18:28I'm willing to give up everything.
01:18:30The company,
01:18:31the inheritance,
01:18:31all of it.
01:18:33But I won't give up her.
01:18:36She's my wife.
01:18:37The only one
01:18:38that I will ever want.
01:18:41We're getting married.
01:18:43Properly.
01:18:44Publicly.
01:18:47Fine.
01:18:48You want to throw away everything
01:18:50for this,
01:18:51for this woman,
01:18:53then you will get
01:18:55nothing from this family.
01:18:57Nothing!
01:18:59Sign it.
01:19:00Renounce your inheritance.
01:19:02All of it.
01:19:06No, no, no, no, no,
01:19:07Adrian, stop.
01:19:09Not worth losing everything for.
01:19:11You're worth everything.
01:19:15The company,
01:19:16the assets,
01:19:17I built them once.
01:19:18I can build them again.
01:19:20But you,
01:19:22you and our child,
01:19:24you're our real future.
01:19:29Still time to
01:19:30think it over, son.
01:19:40Let's go.

01:20:24What do you mean
01:20:25you're cancelling the contract?
01:20:26We've worked together
01:20:27for 10 years!
01:20:31No, no, no.
01:20:33Don't call Adrian.
01:20:34Hello?
01:20:35Hello?
01:20:37Hello?

01:20:38just collapsed.

01:20:40work with Adrian.
01:20:41This is all your fault!
01:20:43You and your billion
01:20:44plan to get rid of them.
01:20:45My fault?

01:20:47who can't handle
