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.
00:00:55I'm so sorry.
00:00:58Uh huh.
00:01:00Hmm?
00:01:03Hm?
00:01:04Hm?
00:01:09Oh, my God.
00:02:00Oh, my God.
00:02:02My love, 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.
00:02:19Three 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 going to have a baby with you.
00:02:31Oh, baby.
00:02:34Sweetheart, you wouldn't even put out after three years and now you're thinking about playing mommy.
00:02:41Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs,
00:02:45these lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:02:50Screw you.
00:03:03I'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, one sperm donor, I can have a baby of my own.
00:03:25Six months to produce an heir or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:03:31Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:03:35The surrogate candidates are all, for other words,
00:03:39Ivy League educated, impeccable 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.
00:04:34The surrogate candidates are all, for other words,
00:04:34Are you here for the interview?
00:04:37The interview? Yes, of course.
00:04:50Please sit.
00:04:56Right, um, let's get started.
00:05:01Hey, um, education background.
00:05:05Excuse me?
00:05:06And I'm gonna need a full medical history, specifically genetic disorders, to 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.
00:05:34I 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?
00:05:49Mr. Croft, Harvard. I can't show her out.
00:05:52Thompson.
00:05:53Leave 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.
00:06:14No 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.
00:06:38I'm perfectly healthy too, no genetic disorders, and I get regular checkups.
00:06:44Um, I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:06:50You really do seem like the perfect match.
00:06:54Good.
00:06:55Now, regarding compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
00:07:01Well, I was thinking around $800.
00:07:06$800.
00:07:07$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, I could, I can help, I
00:07:21can do paperwork, whatever.
00:07:22Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:07:31Oh, 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.
00:07:56Surrogacy?
00:07:57Surrogacy.
00:07:58The position you're interviewing for.
00:08:01Interview?
00:08:02I'm hated by sperm.
00:08:04You came to what?
00:08:06I thought you were a donor, that'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.
00:08:21Wait!
00:08:25A million dollars.
00:08:27For carrying my child.
00:08:31I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford.
00:08:33Not somebody else's.
00:08:36Ah, you might need that.
00:08:46Clean this up.
00:08:48Bring in the next.
00:08:56Hello?
00:08:57Ms. Reed, your father.
00:08:59You need to come now.
00:09:01Okay, I'm coming here.
00:09:23Doctor, how is he? How is my father?
00:09:26The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:09:29Then do something.
00:09:31Save him!
00:09:33Is there a treatment you can do?
00:09:35There 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.
00:09:45A million dollars?
00:09:46Yes.
00:09:48Can I get a loan or something?
00:09:51Actually, this is a new technology.
00:09:53And there is no loan policy. Sorry.
00:09:55I'm sorry.
00:10:25I'm sorry.
00:10:26I'm sorry.
00:10:27I'm sorry.
00:10:27I'm sorry.
00:10:28I'm sorry.
00:10:28I'm sorry.
00:10:34This is the last batch?
00:10:36Yes sir.
00:10:38The blonde wanted 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.
00:10:50It's qualified.
00:10:53she was refreshing no pretence no schemes but she wasn't even here for surrogacy
00:11:02sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job
00:11:17hello

00:12:39I've already made my own plans
00:12:41Adrian
00:12:41if you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir
00:12:47forget it
00:12:48the Crawford name means something I won't let it be tainted by
00:12:53I've already chosen my fiancee

00:18:42Control.
00:18:43This is the next game.
00:18:45Control.
00:19:00Sorry, didn't see you there.
00:19:06You're always in the way.
00:19:11Ah, my brother's mysterious fiance.
00:19:15Mrs. Crawford.
00:19:16Catherine, please. We're family now. Supposedly.
00:19:21Helen, tea, please.
00:19:23Yes, Mrs. Crawford.
00:19:28So 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?
00:19:53Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved?
00:19:59The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:20:12Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancee, your presence is required.
00:20:20I'd be honored.
00:20:22Perfect.
00:20:23I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:20:42Excuse me, Miss Rie.
00:20:44I need to clean.
00:20:45Of course.
00:20:46Let me just move this.
00:20:51Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:55How creative.
00:20:58Must be hot in 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.
00:21:09You did that on purpose.
00:21:10Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:21:13Mr. Crawford, she was just trashed trying to climb the social ladder.
00:21:20Mr. Crawford, she just attacked me.
00:21:25I was trying to help with it.
00:21:27Get out!
00:21:28But I was just...
00:21:29One more word and you're fired.
00:21:32Get out.
00:21:40What happened?
00:21:41Nothing.
00:21:43I need some space.
00:21:44I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:21:46Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:21:47I need some space.
00:21:51You take the bed.
00:21:52I'll take the sofa.
00:21:55I miss you so much, Daddy.
00:21:58Don'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.
00:22:05Lila, what happened?
00:22:08What should I do?
00:22:21How's the happy couple?
00:22:24How's the happy couple?
00:22:36How's the happy couple?
00:22:38Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:22:40It's okay.
00:22:42I'm here.
00:22:43You're safe.
00:22:46Perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:48Unателейapan.
00:22:56What's the flip of your shoes?
00:22:57I'm here.
00:23:01I'm here.
00:23:03I'm here.
00:23:07I'm here.
00:23:32Focus, this is just a simple medical procedure.
00:23:38Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:23:44Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:23:48Yeah, I'm fine. I just need some assistance.
00:23:52Oh, do you need my help?
00:23:54No, I didn't mean...
00:23:56Are you sure? Honestly, it's fine. I can come in if you need me to.
00:24:01Come in.
00:24:12So, you want to help?
00:24:14Of course. What do you need me to...
00:24:20Oh, you're... Oh, you're... I'm so sorry. I didn't realize.
00:24:25I'm just... I'm just gonna just go somewhere. I just need you somewhere very far away.
00:24:35Well, that was helpful.
00:24:43Are you okay?
00:24:44Yeah. Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:24:49It's causing you pain.
00:24:50Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable, but I mean, it will pass.
00:24:53Here.
00:24:57Oh, okay.
00:25:11Thanks.
00:25:17Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically a work-related issue.
00:25:23And as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:25It's not...
00:25:26It's not...
00:25:27It's not...
00:25:28It's not...
00:25:55It's not...
00:26:06PURELY PROFESSIONAL, HUH?
00:26:15ADRIAN!
00:26:19Um, 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.
00:26:28Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:30Guess I'll handle it on my own.
00:26:37Well, I don't suppose we should expect punctuality
00:26:40from a person who's probably never had a proper watch in her life.
00:26:43Introduce him to the Lawson Harris, the senator's daughter.
00:26:48I 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.
00:26:59She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:27:06Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:27:09I had the chef prepare her place setting and everything.
00:27:12She probably couldn't figure out which work to do, though.
00:27:16Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:27:19Ah, ah!
00:27:27I apologize for the sight delay.
00:27:32My, my.
00:27:34Trying so hard to look the part.
00:27:37James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner.
00:27:41I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:27:45And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breeding.
00:27:50Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:27:56Oh, darling.
00:27:58A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:28:01How quaint.
00:28:04At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian socks.
00:28:09I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable.
00:28:15Integrity.
00:28:16Integrity.
00:28:18Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:28:23How much?
00:28:25How much will it take you to disappear in your price?
00:28:32The difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford,
00:28:35is that I don't think that everything comes with a price tag.
00:28:40Excuse me.
00:28:48Stay calm.
00:28:52You can do this.
00:28:58Getting all dressed up for me, baby.
00:29:06What's the rush?
00:29:07We're all family here.
00:29:09Well, almost family.
00:29:12Don't touch me.
00:29:13You used to like it when I touched you.
00:29:16Remember how shy you were?
00:29:18Always saying no?
00:29:21That's awfully better.
00:29:23Careful, though.
00:29:24One scream from you, and everyone at dinner is going to know what kind of girl you really are.
00:29:30Now, where were we?
00:29:40Everything all right, dear?
00:29:42You look flushed.
00:29:45So, as I was saying about the lessons...
00:29:51Stop it!
00:29:52Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:29:55Stop it!
00:29:58Enough!
00:30:00No class?
00:30:01No manners?
00:30:02I don't know how you seduced my son,
00:30:05but someone like you
00:30:07could never deserve a place in this family!
00:30:10I...
00:30:11I'm the one who refused her.
00:30:17I'm the one who refused her.
00:30:19Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:30:23Adrian.
00:30:25If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:30:28You want to know how we met?
00:30:29She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:30:32Papers flying, coffee spilled.
00:30:34Unlike some people,
00:30:35she didn't care about my name or my money.
00:30:39She, uh...
00:30:40refused me several times.
00:30:42Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:30:45First woman who dared stand out to me.
00:30:47And that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:30:50I...
00:30:54Sir, two things.
00:30:56Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner,
00:30:58and your jet is ready.
00:30:59We can go now.
00:31:05Cancel it, Leo.
00:31:07What's the merger?
00:31:10Yes, sir.
00:31:12It's funny that last week family's dinners were
00:31:15the most pointless waste of time.
00:31:16In existence.
00:31:21Something's more important than business.
00:31:27Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:31:30Too bad it's either a complete lie,
00:31:33or she's been playing us both.
00:31:36What are you talking about?
00:31:39We've been dating for three years.
00:31:42I have pictures of us together.
00:31:48What?
00:31:49She probably planned this from the start.
00:31:52Dating me to get close to the family,
00:31:54then setting her sights higher.
00:31:56You're a manipulative little tree.
00:31:58Face it, Uncle.
00:31:59You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:32:05Face it, Uncle.
00:32:06You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:32:14That's for every lie you just told.
00:32:19Adrian!
00:32:20How dare you hit my son!
00:32:22Where do you think you're going?
00:32:23We are not the finish here yet!
00:32:24Yes, we are!
00:32:31I'm sorry.
00:32:32I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:32:33Thank you for coming back
00:32:35and for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:32:43Your hands, what happened?
00:33:00As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:33:03I expect you to use them.
00:33:05I... I didn't want to presume.
00:33:07You're a Crawford now.
00:33:19Dr. Anderson?
00:33:21Mr. Crawford, the embryos are ready,
00:33:24so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:33:27I see.
00:33:31What is it?
00:33:32Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:33:33I've been thinking.
00:33:36Perhaps we should approach this matter
00:33:38in a more natural manner
00:33:42between a husband and a wife.
00:33:47What are your thoughts?
00:33:51I think that we should go to bed.
00:33:54We have a really big day tomorrow.
00:33:58So...
00:34:00I mean...
00:34:00Good night.
00:34:07You know, you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit.
00:34:11Focus on the procedure.
00:34:15Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:34:23There.
00:34:25See that white spot?
00:34:28That's her baby.
00:34:35You know, I can walk.
00:34:38Doctor's orders?
00:34:39You seem wondrous than I do.
00:34:45I'm merely following medical pursuit.
00:34:56Look at her.
00:34:58She's acting like a princess.
00:35:02She was probably a waitress last week.
00:35:06Now she's got Mr. Crawford
00:35:08wrapped around her finger.
00:35:10She was my dad.
00:35:14She's a very you.

00:41:41Adrian, it's been too long. You look exactly the same.
00:42:02And you must be the fiance. I'm so pleased Adrian has found someone after all these years.
00:42:09That's really kind, but I'm sorry, who are you?
00:42:14I'm just someone who cares about Adrian's happiness. More than anyone else.
00:42:25Oh my god! You two are finally back together. Everyone, look who's here, the golden couple.
00:42:35I heard Adrian Colford was engaged. I knew it was you, Vivian. When is the wedding?
00:42:44Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancee, 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? Oh, I'm, I'm so sorry. I just assumed, um, congratulations for you both.
00:43:12Adrian Colford in a complete unknown? How did you manage that?
00:43:16Adrian chose her over Vivian. Is he crazy?
00:43:20Oh, Benji, how have you been? Great. Let's go, Pam.
00:43:30They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:43:34Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:43:41Gentlemen! What are y'all talking about?
00:43:49They do look like the perfect couple.
00:43:53They do look like the perfect couple.
00:43:56They do look like the perfect couple.
00:43:57They do look like the perfect couple.
00:44:04Drinking? I thought you were pregnant.
00:44:07None of your business.
00:44:12You know how Adrian is. Always has to win.
00:44:16Especially against me. He hates when I take things from him.
00:44:20What are you talking about?
00:44:29Perfect couple, right?
00:44:32Until...
00:44:36Vivian fell madly in love with me, leaving dear Uncle heartbroken.
00:44:42Since then, whatever I want, he has to take.
00:44:48Whatever I have, he has to win.
00:44:51Like you.
00:44:54What you want, you never have.
00:44:57Never.
00:44:58You and Ethan, you've never really gone 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?
00:45:32I'm just his tool for revenge?
00:45:33What do you think you're doing?
00:45:35You are pregnant. Why are you drinking?
00:45:38Oh, now you care.
00:45:42It's soda. I know what I'm doing.
00:45:59What happened back there?
00:46:01Talk to me.
00:46:03My love, I am worried.
00:46:06So you talk to Ethan, but not me.
00:46:10You do care so much about your nephew, don't you?
00:46:28Violet, open the door.
00:46:31Please.
00:46:49We watched that season ago

00:47:43yes
00:47:50and then she got with Ethan yes okay so I'm just
00:48:07so we need to immediately I'm in the middle of something the board is
00:48:12threatening to pull out I'll be there
00:48:21we need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back of course business
00:48:29first
00:48:30Lila
00:48:32just go
00:48:44Sir there have been complications
00:48:46explain
00:48:47during your absence Mr Ethan has been meeting with board members suggesting
00:48:52our sudden marriage plans indicate a stable decision-making
00:48:57several executors are questioning if someone so personally distracted
00:49:02showed in her the company
00:49:09you
00:49:22Mr. Croffer we've been discussing my personal life your sudden access has let me be very
00:49:34This company took a 40% profit loss before I took over.
00:49:39Within 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.
00:49:56Not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:50:04Because without me, there wouldn't be a company left to inherit.
00:50:13Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:50:31Look at this.
00:50:34Yes.
00:50:57Adrian, what the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:51:01I was doing my job.
00:51:03Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:51:07Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:51:14You leave Lila out of this.
00:51:16You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:51:19Yeah, run along.
00:51:21Adults are talking business now.
00:51:23We just need to bore him for a moment, dear.
00:51:26Business matters.
00:51:27You wouldn't understand.
00:51:35That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:51:44She's nothing but a broodmare.
00:51:47After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:51:52Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:51:55Someone 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 stay home and gestate.
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, I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground
00:52:24before either of you get to touch it!
00:52:26Adrian, be reasonable!
00:52:28She is worth a thousand to you.
00:52:32Tomorrow, 9am, Vivian starts.
00:52:35No discussion.
00:52:37Is that all?
00:52:39Yes, for now.
00:52:41But don't disappoint me again.
00:53:18Stop it.
00:53:19Stop checking.
00:53:22This is ridiculous.
00:53:25I was independent before.
00:53:27I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep.
00:53:34No!
00:53:35I'm not going to be that girl.
00:53:40I can make my own meals.
00:53:43I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:53:52A broodmare.
00:53:55Way to get back at Ethan.
00:54:02Philo!
00:54:03I'm fine!
00:54:04You're not fine.
00:54:06Hospital, now!
00:54:06I'm fine!
00:54:21Thanks.
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.
00:54:33All sweet.
00:54:35Sincere.
00:54:36Don't.
00:54:37Why not?
00:54:39Is there really no chance for us?
00:54:41Ethan.
00:54:44Lila, he's just using you.
00:54:46You're his revenge against me.
00:54:49A tool.
00:54:50And you deserve better than that.
00:54:53Adrian, stop!
00:54:56What are you doing?
00:54:57I'm protecting you.
00:54:59I'm protecting you.
00:54:59I'm protecting you.
00:54:59From what?
00:55:00He's helping.
00:55:01He brought me here.
00:55:01My hand was bleeding.
00:55:02So now you're defending him?
00:55:04No, I'm defending the truth.
00:55:07Sometimes, I guess people surprise you.
00:55:10I see.
00:55:12Adrian.
00:55:14I'll call the doctor to come.
00:55:20I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OB-GYN down immediately.
00:55:24Sir, it's just a minor car.
00:55:27I want a full prenatal checkup.
00:55:29I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson.
00:55:30He's going to be down here in 10 minutes.
00:55:32Always 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.
00:55:54The Michelin star one.
00:55:56Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian lagoon beef.
00:55:59Oh, well done.
00:56:01No 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.
00:56:09BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:56:11She likes to watch it when she's still stressed.
00:56:13Which is why I upgraded our home theater 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?
00:56:30Well, see.
00:56:32Oh, the Alzheimer's ring is fully renovated.
00:56:34Named after Lila's grandmother, as she mentioned.
00:56:38Oh, it's a fully funded.
00:56:41Anonymous donor.
00:56:42Hmm.
00:56:46He may be able to offer you money, but you're going to miss this.
00:57:03Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:57:06Oh, yeah.
00:57:07Just my mom.
00:57:10I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins.
00:57:12They should arrive shortly.
00:57:13They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:57:17Wow.
00:57:17You 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.
00:57:32We should leave.
00:57:33Let her rest.
00:57:43Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:57:45Or does he actually care?
00:58:04Yes, Father?
00:58:06Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:58:08Overwork, they say.
00:58:10From cleaning up your company's mess.
00:58:12I have meetings.
00:58:13Cancel them!
00:58:14Go to visit her right now.
00:58:18Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you,
00:58:21or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
00:58:41You came.
00:58:45Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
00:58:49Still so cold.
00:58:52Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was unwell?
00:58:55That was a long time ago.
00:58:58We were really great together, Adrian.
00:59:01We could be together again.
00:59:02I don't know what game you're playing.
00:59:04I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
00:59:06I 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.
00:59:10I don't know what game you do.
00:59:11But, Lila, she's different.
00:59:14She's real.
00:59:16A pregnant gold digger is real?
00:59:18Please
00:59:24I guess some things never change
00:59:31Watch your words
00:59:33Stay away from my wife
00:59:45My little girl
00:59:46Daddy
00:59:47No
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 give you better
01:00:24If only I were healthy
01:00:25If I could work
01:00:26Daddy, don't
01:00:30The hospital bills
01:00:31What are you getting money for?
01:00:34Don't tell me you sold yourself to some man
01:00:36No, no, it's not like that
01:00:38Did someone take advantage of you?
01:00:41My little girl pregnant all alone
01:00:43She's not alone
01:00:48Hi, Mr. Reid
01:00:50I'm Adrian Crawford
01:00:55I'm the father of her child
01:00:58I'm not just the father
01:01:00I'm the man who's going to spend the rest of his life
01:01:02Making sure your daughter and our child get everything they deserve
01:01:05Pretty words from a rich man
01:01:08Not words
01:01:09Facts
01:01:10I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility
01:01:13Full treatment plan
01:01:14Best specialists
01:01:16Adrian
01:01:18And I promise you this
01:01:21Every morning
01:01:22She's gonna wake up knowing that she is cherished
01:01:24Every decision I make
01:01:26Every step I take
01:01:27Will be to ensure her happiness
01:01:29You really mean that, don't you?
01:01:31Yes, sir, I do
01:01:34Well
01:01:37Maybe
01:01:38I can stop worrying
01:01:47Thank you
01:01:49For
01:01:49What you said in there
01:01:51I know you were just trying to make my father
01:01:53No, no, no
01:01:54I wasn't just doing anything
01:01:56Every word I said in there is true
01:02:00Adrian
01:02:05Lila, I need to tell you something
01:02:08I've been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office
01:02:11With that ridiculous donor questionnaire
01:02:14Yes, we had a contract, but
01:02:17I realized
01:02:19You've become everything to me
01:02:21You're not my surrogate
01:02:24You're not my convenient fiancé
01:02:28You're my partner
01:02:31If you have me
01:02:35But what about
01:02:36Ethan and Vivian?
01:02:38What about them?
01:02:42Are you trying to just get revenge on Ethan?
01:02:44Revenge?
01:02:45I never loved Vivian
01:02:47And Ethan, he's not worth a second thought
01:02:50Really?
01:02:52And who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:02:57Oh
01:02:58That was
01:03:03I was jealous, okay
01:03:05The thought of you with him
01:03:07Wow
01:03:09The great Mr. Crawford
01:03:11Jealous
01:03:12Don't mention it
01:03:14I have a reputation to maintain
01:03:29I'm not letting you go
01:03:32Not ever
01:03:41Surrogacy
01:03:41Contract of marriage
01:03:43Oh, this is too perfect
01:03:46A fact
01:03:46What?
01:03:55I don't care.
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. Their 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. Until then, let's gather more evidence.
01:05:00And 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.
01:05:41That's okay. I don't mind waiting.
01:05:45These documents require his immediate attention.
01:05:51Would you mind getting me some tea, dear?
01:06:00Sorry.
01:06:00You see agreements?
01:06:02Medical contracts?
01:06:04Come on.
01:06:06The train's always so organized.
01:06:09Breakfast everything.
01:06:18It'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, if you need an heir, we 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 little secret.
01:07:16Here.
01:07:17In the living room.
01:07:21Wherever you want.
01:07:22Someone might see us.
01:07:24Are you scared?
01:07:29I know somewhere more...
01:07:32private.
01:07:40Where are we going?
01:07:42Can't risk being interrupted, can 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!
01:08:05Stop filming me!
01:08:06This 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, this crisis could have destroyed us.
01:08:27But thanks to your tireless efforts, Crawford is stronger than ever.
01:08:32To the best team in the business!
01:08:34To the best team in the business!
01:08:36Thank you!
01:08:38Though, speaking of tonight's celebration, there's something you all should be prepared for.
01:08:45For what?
01:08:48My uncle is bringing his fiancée tonight.
01:08:52The thing is, her and I were together until very recently.
01:08:58I know, I know, I know.
01:09:01But please, when they arrive, act normal.
01:09:05I couldn't bear any drama.
01:09:07She left you for your uncle?
01:09:11These things happen.
01:09:15Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to my fiancée, Lila Reed.
01:09:20Hello, everybody. It'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, I've been worried.
01:09:45All this stress can'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.
01:09:57We used to tell each other everything.
01:10:00Just want to make sure you're getting the proper care.
01:10:03If I know her hospital, then I can get her surrogate history.
01:10:06How thoughtful.
01:10:09But Adrian handles all my appointments personally.
01:10:12The real hero of the hour.
01:10:14Wow!
01:10:20Beautiful, isn't she?
01:10:22The type of woman who belongs in Adrian's world.
01:10:26Excuse me.
01:10:28You know how my uncle thinks.
01:10:32Like a chess master.
01:10:33Every piece has its use.
01:10:35Some for business.
01:10:38Others for...
01:10:40You don't know him.
01:10:42Oh, but I do.
01:10:45Adrian Crawford cares exactly about one person.
01:10:48Adrian Crawford.
01:10:49He 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 what your role is.
01:11:03He's wrong.
01:11:05He has to be wrong.
01:11:24Everyone in this world has their place.
01:11:27Their purpose.
01:11:29Maybe it's time I found mine again.
01:11:53Maybe when's the last time you ate something?
01:11:55I don't know.
01:11:57Breakfast?
01:11:59Yesterday's breakfast.
01:12:04That's enough for today.
01:12:05Okay.
01:12:10The prenatal instructor said this exercise should help.
01:12:14Okay.
01:12:15Like this?
01:12:16Uh, almost.
01:12:27Um, I think I need a little more instruction.
01:12:53Everything looks perfect.
01:12:55The baby's development's right on track.
01:12:57Really?
01:12:59Really.
01:13:01Now that you're in the stable period, intimate relations is perfectly safe, as long as you're
01:13:07gentle.
01:13:08Just listen to your bodies and...
01:13:10Yes.
01:13:11Uh, thank you.
01:13:12Doctor.
01:13:18Everything will be open.
01:13:31Dr. Anderson.
01:13:40Let's talk about Adrian Crawford's arrangement.
01:13:49Dr. Anderson.
01:13:54I hear that the new hospital complex is looking for department heads.
01:14:02Mr. Harrington, doctor patient confidentiality.
01:14:14About those hospital records.
01:14:34Oh my god.
01:14:41Surrogacy
01:14:43Surrogacy
01:14:44Five generations of Crawford dignity
01:14:47Destroyed by tabloid gossip
01:14:50I knew that girl was hiding something
01:14:56Did you?
01:14:58Did you really pay some nobody to carry your heir?
01:15:02Tell me it isn't true
01:15:12You
01:15:12It's your doing
01:15:14I
01:15:16Adrian
01:15:19I need to discuss something with you
01:15:21Privately
01:15:28Adrian
01:15:29I can make all of this disappear
01:15:31All 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
01:15:39Can't be the position I deserve
01:15:42As Mrs. Crawford by your side
01:15:46I do need your help
01:15:47Please
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 about our arrangement
01:16:12You could lose everything
01:16:16Nothing's more important than you and our child
01:16:37This emergency family meeting will come to order
01:16:41I have proof
01:16:43Miss Reed
01:16:45Is not Adrian's loving bride to be
01:16:48She's just a surrogate
01:16:51Paid to carry the Crawford heir
01:16:56I have proof too
01:16:57Medical records from Crawford Medical Center
01:17:01Showing that Miss Reed underwent fertility treatment
01:17:04For which she was generously compensated
01:17:08Paid surrogacy
01:17:09Paid surrogacy
01:17:10How come
01:17:13Alright fine you want the truth
01:17:15Yes it started with a surrogacy
01:17:19But Lilo
01:17:20She's the woman I chose to be the mother of my child
01:17:23And I won't let anyone here slander her
01:17:26You want this arrangement
01:17:28Fine
01:17:30But then it costs you everything
01:17:35Resign from the company
01:17:37Give up your inheritance
01:17:40The child can see in the family
01:17:41Of course
01:17:43But the mother well
01:17:44Her services won't be required after delivery
01:17:53Yes
01:17:55I did the IVF treatment
01:17:56But I never
01:17:58Never
01:17:59Saw this baby as a business transaction
01:18:06You know what
01:18:07You can say whatever you want about me
01:18:09But don't you dare
01:18:11Question my love for this child
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
01:18:34Give up her
01:18:36She's my wife
01:18:37The only one
01:18:39That I will ever want
01:18:41We're getting married
01:18:42Properly
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
01:18:54You will get nothing from this family
01:18:57Nothing
01:18:59Sign it
01:19:00Renounce your inheritance
01:19:01All of it
01:19:06No, no, no, no, no
01:19:08Adrian, stop
01:19:08I'm not 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
01:19:30Still time to
01:19:30Think it over, son
01:19:40Let's go
01:20:02Thanks
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
01:20:26We've worked together for 10 years
01:20:31No, no, no
01:20:32Don't call Adrian
01:20:33Hello?
01:20:35Hello?
01:20:37Hello?
01:20:38The Singapore merger just collapsed
01:20:39They say they'll only work with Adrian
01:20:41This is all your fault
01:20:42This is all your fault
01:20:43You and your billion plan to get rid of her
01:20:45My fault
01:20:46You're the one who can't handle basic accounting
01:20:48Enough
01:20:50The board meeting starts in five minutes
01:20:52Please tell me you have good news
01:21:04Oh my god
01:21:05This story is exactly like a powerful scandal
01:21:08Wait
01:21:09Is this about the Adrian Crawford?
01:21:14The billionaire CEO giving up everything for love
01:21:17I'm crying
01:21:21So is he okay?
01:21:23I think I just went viral
01:21:26I heard out stories about us
01:21:28Look
01:21:30Should I be concerned about what else you've revealed about me?
01:21:49Have you seen the comments?
01:21:51They're calling us harmless villains
01:21:54Can't believe they're trying to suppress all true love diseases
01:21:58Crawford Industries lost my business
01:22:00Team Adrian all the way
01:22:04Yes
01:22:04Penguin Publishing

01:22:36Take your position
01:22:38Your inheritance
01:22:39I'll have to ask my wife
01:22:43What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:22:49First order of business
01:22:51Starting without me
01:22:53Perfect timing
01:22:54I'm announcing your termination
01:22:57You can't fire me
01:22:58I'm a shareholder and a senior executive
01:23:01The company crisis last month
01:23:04Wasn't an accident
01:23:05You and Ethan deliberately sabotaged our deal
01:23:08You can't prove any free
01:23:11Email, every call, every secret meeting without editors
01:23:15All documented
01:23:16Lawsuit's already been filed
01:23:19You and Ethan will be hearing from our lawyers
01:23:40I think my water just broke
01:23:44Come home
01:23:48Mr. Crawford
01:23:49They vote for new director
01:23:55For her
01:23:57He'd drop everything
01:24:00Including a multi-billion dollar card
01:24:11Before we vote
01:24:12There is something you should know
01:24:15Adrian and Lila
01:24:17Were legally married
01:24:18Two months ago
01:24:21And they have
01:24:22My full blessing
01:24:37Both my girls still awake?
01:24:44I'm just finishing
01:25:00I'm just finishing
01:25:01I'm going for a secondess
01:25:01I'm going for a secondess
