Transcript
00:00:00When a mysterious billionaire asks you to marry him for a year and give him an heir,
00:00:07what do you say?
00:00:09He offered me $10 million.
00:00:11I needed the money to pay for my little brother's heart surgery.
00:00:15I couldn't say no.
00:00:17So, I moved into his mansion, and slowly, I got to know him.
00:00:22His likes, his dislikes, his smile, those lips.
00:00:27The man behind the 6'5 perfect body.
00:00:30The heart he liked to pretend he didn't have.
00:00:33And eventually, I started to realize I wanted this baby,
00:00:38and the strange little family we'd become.
00:00:41I wanted him.
00:00:42But my year with Gideon Maslow was coming to an end.
00:00:45Was it possible he felt the same way?
00:00:57Why won't you tell me who this is?
00:01:26Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:01:29Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:01:35What does that mean?
00:01:41It means I only want to think about you.
00:01:49My little dove.
00:02:15So, you're interested in becoming a surrogate?
00:02:17Well, I can't think of anything more fulfilling than bringing new life into this world.
00:02:22That's beautiful, sweetheart.
00:02:24Did you bring everything I asked for?
00:02:26Oh, yes.
00:02:27Medical records, blood work, it's all there.
00:02:32Everything seems to be in order.
00:02:34You're young, you're healthy.
00:02:36I can already think of several clients who would love you.
00:02:39Oh, that's great.
00:02:40It's a huge relief, honestly.
00:02:42Honey, wait.
00:02:43Your medical records are missing the details of your previous birth.
00:02:47Previous birth?
00:02:49To be a surrogate, you need to have given birth before.
00:02:52It was in the literature we sent over.
00:02:54No, please.
00:02:56Perhaps you can consider egg donation.
00:02:58That doesn't pay enough.
00:02:59Oh, sweetheart.
00:03:00Egg donation is still a beautiful way to help bring new life into the world.
00:03:04Let me get you a pamphlet.
00:03:35Hey, cutie.
00:03:37Hey.
00:03:39Oh, no, don't get up.
00:03:40It's fine.
00:03:41How are you feeling?
00:03:43Well, I can't live like this much longer.
00:03:45Come on, don't say that.
00:03:46I'm supposed to start college in three months, and instead I'm here, rotting on a couch.
00:03:53We just have to take things easy until we...
00:03:55I know, I know.
00:03:57By the way, have you heard of someone named Gideon Maslow?
00:04:05Yeah, of course.
00:04:07He's the CEO of Maslow Enterprises.
00:04:09He's a billionaire.
00:04:11Why?
00:04:13Just saw the name somewhere.
00:04:19Who is this?
00:04:21Hi, this is Alice Gardner.
00:04:23The Parkside Surrogacy Agency referred me.
00:04:26Okay.
00:04:28I'm here to help you have a baby.
00:04:30They were supposed to send me a selection of women to choose from.
00:04:33Well, the agency is confident that I'm the best choice.
00:04:37Well, I can't speak about this now.
00:04:39My house is tomorrow.
00:04:40I'll send a car.
00:04:42Sure, I'll text you my...
00:04:54Hello?
00:05:13Can I help you?
00:05:14Hi, yes, I'm here to see Mr. Maslow.
00:05:16I have an appointment.
00:05:18Oh, you must be Miss Gardner.
00:05:20Sorry, I thought you were selling something.
00:05:23What would I be selling?
00:05:25I wasn't sure.
00:05:26Ill-fitting jackets?
00:05:33Alice.
00:05:34I see you met my house manager, Helga.
00:05:42Follow me.
00:05:51Son.
00:05:54What is it?
00:05:56It's a non-disclosure agreement.
00:05:59Guys usually offer to buy me a drink first.
00:06:03Anything that I say in this meeting will not be repeated,
00:06:07or else I will unleash a legal firestorm on your ass,
00:06:11the likes of which you couldn't even imagine.
00:06:14Your lawyers are going to need lawyers,
00:06:16and their lawyers are going to need lawyers...
00:06:19Okay, jeez, I get it.
00:06:21I get it.
00:06:24Could have just asked me to pinky promise.
00:06:27I take those very seriously.
00:06:29All right, let's get down to business.
00:06:33I need a surrogate of sorts.
00:06:37Of sorts?
00:06:39My proposition is a bit unconventional.
00:06:42I need to hire someone to marry me and give birth to my heir.
00:06:48I'm sorry, what?
00:06:52Oh, you're one of those billionaires.
00:06:56Freaky psychopath.
00:06:58Well, the marriage would be a temporary situation.
00:07:01After the birth of my son.
00:07:02Your son?
00:07:03Or whatever, after the birth of my heir.
00:07:06We'll divorce, he'll retain visitation rights,
00:07:10but the marriage has to appear real for at least one year.
00:07:13Why?
00:07:14Why?
00:07:15If I want my heir to eventually take over the company,
00:07:18he has to maintain my family's pristine reputation.
00:07:22You see, the community would never accept a bastard.
00:07:26I don't get it.
00:07:27You have money and a nice face and a great body,
00:07:31and you are tall.
00:07:32Like, how tall are you?
00:07:35Why can't you just find a real wife?
00:07:38I don't get out much.
00:07:40I enjoy the solitude.
00:07:42And enjoy paying people to have sex with you.
00:07:45Who said anything about sex?
00:07:47I know how husbands and wives make babies.
00:07:50No, we would take the medical approach.
00:07:52This is a business proposition, not a romantic one.
00:07:56These days, marriages, they're all financial relationships anyways.
00:08:01We would just be settling ours up front.
00:08:06I'm sorry, I can't do this.
00:08:08I agreed to have a child for you,
00:08:11not to have a child with you.
00:08:17Ten million dollars.
00:08:22Ten?
00:08:24Ten million dollars?
00:08:26Ten million dollars.
00:08:28Okay.
00:08:30Okay, I'll do it.
00:08:32You can take your time and think.
00:08:34No, it's alright.
00:08:35Where do I sign?
00:08:36No, slow down, Alice.
00:08:38I still have to think about it.
00:08:40You're the one that I interviewed for the position.
00:08:42Well, look no further.
00:08:44You've found me, Mrs. Gideon Maslow.
00:08:48You really like to send all that money, don't you?
00:08:51No, I don't like it.
00:08:53I need it.
00:08:57My brother has a hole in his heart.
00:09:00He needs surgery, and the longer we wait,
00:09:02the less chance he has at making a full recovery.
00:09:05So why don't you ask your parents for the money?
00:09:08It's not an option.
00:09:11Look, I'll be the best fake wife you've ever had, okay?
00:09:15Please?
00:09:19Please?
00:09:23Alright.
00:09:24We'll call it highly motivated.
00:09:26I like that in a business partner.
00:09:29You're hired.
00:09:34I promise you, it's all quite standard.
00:09:37Yes, quite.
00:09:39It says here that I don't get the money until the baby is born?
00:09:42Yes, but I will front the cost of Nico's surgery,
00:09:46and all your day-to-day expenses will be taken care of.
00:09:49I have to live with you?
00:09:51I told you, the relationship has to appear real.
00:09:57Well, then Nico needs to live here too.
00:09:59My brother can't be alone.
00:10:03Alright.
00:10:08Now what? Why aren't you signing?
00:10:11I want you to meet him first.
00:10:13I'll send a car.
00:10:14No, no, I can't have him leave the house.
00:10:16Is he a kid or is he a dog?
00:10:19He's sick, Gideon.
00:10:21Alright, well, I don't need the estate.
00:10:23So if you want me to meet him, you'll bring him here.
00:10:27Alice has told me a lot about you.
00:10:29You're lucky. She just told me she was dating you.
00:10:33Well, everything that I do has a way of ending up in the press,
00:10:36so I asked her to keep our romance quiet.
00:10:39I hope you can forgive me.
00:10:42Yeah, I think I can forgive anyone with a house this big.
00:10:45Don't get too excited. You're hurt.
00:10:54Karen, what are you doing here?
00:10:57Can't drop in to surprise my big brother?
00:11:00No, it's not a good time. I have guests.
00:11:04How was I supposed to know you've never had a guest?
00:11:08That's not true. Alice, this is my very funny brother, Kieran.
00:11:13It's good to meet you.
00:11:15Jenny.
00:11:16Hi.
00:11:18And you are?
00:11:20Oh, I'm his girlfriend.
00:11:24Oh.
00:11:26So, you two have been dating how long?
00:11:30I don't think it's been so long.
00:11:34I'm pretty sure I mentioned Alice to you.
00:11:38Pretty sure you did.
00:11:40No, I'm pretty sure I have.
00:11:43Hey, how about we take a walk outside, take a walk around the grounds?
00:11:47It's a beautiful day today.
00:11:51I think everyone buys it.
00:11:54Do Kieran and Jenny have kids?
00:11:56They've been trying for some years, but I mean, it's a sensitive topic.
00:12:00Sorry to hear that.
00:12:02Somebody's got to carry on the Maslow name.
00:12:06I'll give it my best shot.
00:12:10Alice?
00:12:11No, I'm good.
00:12:12I'm good.
00:12:13I'm good.
00:12:14I'm good.
00:12:15I'm good.
00:12:16I'm good.
00:12:17I'm good.
00:12:18Alice?
00:12:19No, I'm good.
00:12:20Nico?
00:12:23Your brother!
00:12:24Nico, no!
00:12:34His pulse is steady.
00:12:37Nico, can you hear me?
00:12:38It's okay.
00:12:39Open your eyes, breathe, breathe.
00:12:49Oh my God, I am so sorry.
00:12:52I think I just got a little overexcited.
00:12:55You've got nothing to be sorry about.
00:12:57It's fine.
00:12:58I can keep walking.
00:12:59Absolutely not.
00:13:01We're going to the hospital.
00:13:02Are you going to be okay to drive?
00:13:04I told you he shouldn't have come here.
00:13:08Alice!
00:13:19It's good that he's getting some rest.
00:13:23What did the lab say?
00:13:26His condition is getting worse.
00:13:28We need to take a more aggressive approach with this treatment.
00:13:32He should stay in the hospital until he's strong enough for surgery.
00:13:37You want him to live here full time?
00:13:39We'll make sure that he's very comfortable.
00:13:42And you can visit him whenever you like.
00:13:45Have you been able to figure out a payment plan?
00:13:49I've brokered a deal with the devil.
00:13:52I just have to sign it.
00:13:59I thought I'd never see you again.
00:14:02Do you have a pen?
00:14:08Helga will be overseeing your transition into the hospital.
00:14:11Helga will be overseeing your transition into the house.
00:14:15Welcome to the Maslow Estate.
00:14:17It must be exciting.
00:14:20Our bedroom is over there.
00:14:23It's all very nice.
00:14:26I work long hours, so try to keep quiet.
00:14:29I'll be spending most days at the hospital with Nico anyways.
00:14:39Hey, what's in here?
00:14:40Hey, you can have your run of the house.
00:14:44But that room is completely off limits.
00:14:47You understand?
00:14:50I do.
00:15:03Helga, help Alice get situated. I have to make a phone call.
00:15:06Of course, Mr. Maslow.
00:15:07Thanks for all your help.
00:15:10Of course, anything for Gideon.
00:15:13He must do a really great job as house manager.
00:15:16I mean, he never wants to leave this place.
00:15:20Gideon is a very complicated and brilliant man.
00:15:24I'm sure he is.
00:15:27I've stood by him through great joy and great sorrow.
00:15:30That's nice.
00:15:33And sorrowful.
00:15:35And sorrowful?
00:15:38Please, feel free to call me for anything that you need.
00:15:41I'll be nearby. All the time.
00:15:44Keeping an eye on you.
00:15:59I thought you'd be asleep.
00:16:02Restless, I guess.
00:16:06So, how was your first day at the house?
00:16:11I don't think Helga likes me very much.
00:16:14You know, she's been with me for years. She's very loyal.
00:16:18Yeah, she mentioned something about that.
00:16:22You know, I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:25You know, I think you need to get some sleep.
00:16:28Because stress is bad for baby making.
00:16:32Our appointment is tomorrow. Are you going to come with me?
00:16:36I sent my sample to the doctor already.
00:16:39So he's just going to insert it into you.
00:16:42How romantic.
00:17:01I love you.
00:17:31I love you.
00:18:01I love you.
00:18:32Miss Cardinal.
00:18:36This room is off limits to guests.
00:18:39I'm not a guest.
00:18:45You heard Mr. Maslow.
00:19:01Oh, thank you.
00:19:04You know, I've become such a fast reader these last few weeks.
00:19:07See? Perks of taking it easy.
00:19:10Exactly. Who needs friends when you have your sister's old books?
00:19:14Ha. Funny.
00:19:18Really, I'm super proud of how seriously you're taking care of me.
00:19:22I'm so proud of you.
00:19:25I'm so proud of you.
00:19:28Really, I'm super proud of how seriously you're taking this recovery.
00:19:33Yeah, anything to get me back to real life faster.
00:19:36I hate to break it to you, buddy, but this is a lot more like real life than whatever you're missing over summer break.
00:19:43How is this real life?
00:19:46Having your priorities straight. Compromising on joy because it's what you have to do.
00:19:51It doesn't get more real life than that, babe.
00:19:54Looking good, isn't he?
00:19:57Great work.
00:19:59Well, I take tips.
00:20:01I'm a little strapped for cash at the moment. Saving up for a big surgery.
00:20:05Speaking of, we were able to set a date.
00:20:10The nurse will go over everything with you, but we're looking pretty good.
00:20:14Nico's on the up and up.
00:20:28So Helga told me you went snooping.
00:20:34What a tattletale.
00:20:36I gave you access to every other room in the house. You couldn't respect my one wish?
00:20:40Have you ever heard the story of Bluebeard?
00:20:42Obviously not.
00:20:44Well, it's a folk tale about a woman who marries an older man named Bluebeard.
00:20:48She moves in with him and he allows her access to every room in the house except for one.
00:20:52Sound familiar?
00:20:54So what?
00:20:55So, it turns out he had the corpses of six other wives stuffed in the room.
00:20:59You think I went through all this just to kill you?
00:21:03There's easier ways of doing that and much more fun ones.
00:21:07Well, when you tell me something is off limits, I'm gonna assume the worst.
00:21:11You are so stubborn.
00:21:14You did not disclose that in the contract before we signed it.
00:21:18Well, you're a secretive. You didn't mention that.
00:21:21And I don't think you're really 6'5".
00:21:22No, I'm 6'5".
00:21:25Come on, Gideon. You can trust me.
00:21:29Who is she? The woman in the painting?
00:21:33She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:21:36Or any other woman for that matter.
00:21:53I'm sorry.
00:22:12Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:22:15Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:22:18What does that mean?
00:22:23That means...
00:22:26I only want to think about you.
00:22:31My little dove.
00:22:48Hmm.
00:22:54What the...
00:23:18Hey.
00:23:20Hello.
00:23:22Crazy how we live in the same house and I can still go days without seeing you.
00:23:26Big house.
00:23:28Gets lonely.
00:23:30Pancakes?
00:23:32Pancakes. Want some?
00:23:34No, I'm more of a waffle man.
00:23:36You know, there's more surface area for the syrup.
00:23:39Here. Try one.
00:23:41It's good. I promise.
00:23:48My secret recipe.
00:24:00It's good, right?
00:24:02It's good. It's really good.
00:24:04You're not going to have any?
00:24:06No, I had the craziest craving for them this morning, but now my stomach feels all weird.
00:24:11Alice.
00:24:13Hmm?
00:24:18You think?
00:24:20Do you have a test?
00:24:29What's it say?
00:24:32Negative.
00:24:34Damn.
00:24:36I really thought it would work.
00:24:38I'll get a better doctor.
00:24:40You know, maybe we need to do an egg retrieval first.
00:24:42Create an embryo.
00:24:44And plant it back into you.
00:24:45That could take months.
00:24:47But you signed the contract.
00:24:49You knew you were in this for the long haul.
00:24:51Oh, I know. I'm just bummed that it didn't work.
00:24:56Oh. Yeah.
00:24:58No.
00:25:00Me too.
00:25:01Oh.
00:25:13You know, there are other ways I could get pregnant that involves less needles and plastic cups and hospital gowns.
00:25:22Oh yeah?
00:25:24Birds do it.
00:25:26Bees do it.
00:25:28I mean, why can't we do it?
00:25:32No, Alice. I'm not paying you to have sex with me.
00:25:36I know, but you are paying me to have a child with you, and this could really increase our chances.
00:25:42No, Alice. Sex, it complicates things.
00:25:45Of course it does, when feelings are involved.
00:25:48But we are two business partners with a goal, and sex could be the solution.
00:25:54Aren't you a little bit curious?
00:25:57Yeah, I'm curious.
00:25:59I know you don't trust women or whatever, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have any pleasure.
00:26:07And you must find me a little attractive. I mean, you want your heir to have half of my genes.
00:26:13You sure that's what you really want to do?
00:26:17I'm sure.
00:26:23There's just one thing you should know.
00:26:26Yeah? What is it?
00:26:27I'm a virgin.
00:26:32What? How?
00:26:35Our parents died when I was 17. I didn't have time to date. If I wasn't working, I was with Nico.
00:26:42So you haven't been on one date?
00:26:45Men have asked me out, yeah, but they didn't understand why I couldn't leave my brother.
00:26:50And I didn't want to bring strangers back to our apartment.
00:26:52Look, this is the first time in my life where I haven't been worried about money.
00:26:57About how I'm going to pay rent, how I'm going to pay Nico's next medical bill.
00:27:02For once in my life, I can finally think about what I might want.
00:27:06What I might desire.
00:27:10So you were going to have my baby, and you've never had sex before?
00:27:14I know. I'm a saint. The Virgin Mary.
00:27:18What? Does this void the deal?
00:27:23I should have told you.
00:27:25Yes, you should have told me.
00:27:30Wait, where are you going?
00:27:34I, uh, I have to think.
00:27:39Hello, brother. It's unlike you to have me over on a work day.
00:27:43I have a problem.
00:27:46Alice.
00:27:48Oh, the mystery girlfriend.
00:27:50Yeah, she's a, uh, a virgin.
00:27:57She's a virgin?
00:27:59Yeah, she's a virgin.
00:28:01She's a virgin?
00:28:03Yeah, she's a virgin.
00:28:05A virgin.
00:28:10There's a twist.
00:28:14I'm very surprised.
00:28:16She's quite pretty.
00:28:18It's just a little more responsibility than I was prepared for.
00:28:23I know it's been a while since you've been with anyone, but I'm sure you remember how to do it.
00:28:29In fact, if I remember correctly, Ginny Mills was a virgin, and you slept with her.
00:28:33So was I, and we were 16.
00:28:36Let's take it slow. Right?
00:28:38Come on.
00:28:40Let's wind a diner.
00:28:42Ugh, Gideon.
00:28:46You're gonna have to behave like a gentleman.
00:28:51What will you do?
00:28:59Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?
00:29:02I knew I shouldn't have told you.
00:29:04Just hold on a second.
00:29:06No, I should have known better. It's a mistake. Every time someone finds out, they look at me different.
00:29:10Like I'm something fragile they're afraid of breaking.
00:29:12No, hey, please don't tell me what's going on in my own mind.
00:29:17Look me in the eyes and tell me you didn't change your opinion of me.
00:29:20No, truthfully, I don't know. I don't know how I feel about it. I mean, it was certainly surprising.
00:29:25Bullshit.
00:29:27Alice, just slow down. Okay?
00:29:31Is that fair?
00:29:37Fair.
00:29:42How about I take you for a drink?
00:29:45I thought you don't leave the house.
00:29:50Secret bar.
00:29:52Very James Bond.
00:29:56I don't think it's such a bad thing.
00:30:00Not you being a virgin and all. I think that it points to some level of discipline.
00:30:06Can we talk about something else?
00:30:09It's been a while since I've been on a date. I'm a bit rusty.
00:30:15So what do you do locked away here all the time? Dress up in costumes and fight crime?
00:30:22Well, it helps to have a full bar next to the living room.
00:30:26So you really never leave?
00:30:28Never.
00:30:30Not even on a drive?
00:30:32Not even on a drive.
00:30:35Wild.
00:30:37There are benefits though.
00:30:39Like?
00:30:42I don't normally tell people this, but I make the greatest martini in the entire world.
00:30:51Oh yeah?
00:30:53Prove it.
00:30:59Well, I'll give it to you. That is a damn good drink.
00:31:04Have you ever even had a martini?
00:31:07No, but I'm from Iowa and we know drinking.
00:31:13Thank you, bartender.
00:31:16So what brings you to this bar so early in the morning?
00:31:19I'm here to see you.
00:31:21I'm here to see you.
00:31:23I'm here to see you.
00:31:25I'm here to see you.
00:31:26So what brings you to this bar so late at night?
00:31:32Well, you know, I was supposed to meet someone here.
00:31:36Is he a good looking guy?
00:31:39Well, he certainly seems to think so.
00:31:42You been working here long?
00:31:45I took it over from my father.
00:31:49Yeah?
00:31:51Yeah.
00:31:53I grew up in this house.
00:31:57I thought I told you that.
00:32:00No.
00:32:02But you don't really tell me anything.
00:32:05Well, when my parents died, I took over the estate.
00:32:11Are we sleeping in their bed?
00:32:13No, no. Absolutely not.
00:32:16Well, I mean, maybe the mattress bed.
00:32:18Very sexy.
00:32:20Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to be sexy.
00:32:23Well, it would certainly help pass the time.
00:32:26Yeah.
00:32:57How was that?
00:33:00It didn't pass much time.
00:33:27What's going on?
00:33:38Are you sure you want this?
00:33:40I'm sure.
00:33:46There's no pressure.
00:33:48You don't have to feel any kind of way, if it hurts or anything.
00:33:50I can't think anymore.
00:33:56I'll follow you, all right?
00:33:58You take control. Does that sound okay?
00:34:02I want you to take control.
00:34:23Good morning.
00:34:25Oh, hey. Good morning.
00:34:28You feeling okay?
00:34:30Yeah.
00:34:32That was good, right?
00:34:37Oh, yeah. It was really good.
00:34:42We could have another drink tonight?
00:34:45I actually forgot to tell you.
00:34:47We're going to have dinner with Karen and Jenny tonight.
00:34:49Dinner?
00:34:52Okay, but why?
00:34:54Well, I mean, we have to seem like a big happy family.
00:34:57Well, if we're getting divorced in a year, we don't have to appear that happy.
00:35:00Well, no. I mean, we can't have any cracks in our story.
00:35:03I love my brother, but, I mean, he's got a loud mouth.
00:35:07And Jenny will say anything about everything.
00:35:10Well, then we better get our story straight.
00:35:12If we're going to get grilled, we should be on the same page.
00:35:14Sure. We could practice.
00:35:17I mean, our brother isn't exactly Columbo, and Jenny and Helga are harmless.
00:35:21Helga's coming?
00:35:23Yeah, she said she wanted to get to know you.
00:35:26She has it out for me.
00:35:28It's one night. We can get through one night.
00:35:35Soup's almost ready. Just another few minutes.
00:35:38Thank you, Helga.
00:35:42It's nice to get some face time with you, Alice.
00:35:45I've been wanting to get to know you better.
00:35:48Well, you know what they say?
00:35:49You don't know someone until you see them eat.
00:35:55How do you eat, Alice?
00:35:58You want me to spoil the surprise?
00:36:00I'll tell you how I eat.
00:36:03Until I'm full.
00:36:06Can attest to that.
00:36:08So tell us, how did you and Gideon meet?
00:36:11And the questions begin before we even had our appetizers.
00:36:14It'll be another few minutes.
00:36:16What were you saying, Gideon?
00:36:17About how you two met?
00:36:19Well, dear, would you like me to?
00:36:21Or would you like to?
00:36:23Well, I just love the way you tell it.
00:36:25All right.
00:36:27Well, it's a very funny story, actually.
00:36:30We met at a charity event a few years ago.
00:36:32And then we happened to come across each other online.
00:36:35A few months ago.
00:36:38What's funny about that?
00:36:40The way life works.
00:36:42Sometimes.
00:36:44Well, honey, you forgot the funniest part.
00:36:47About how later that night you accidentally tripped me.
00:36:51Oh, and she dropped her champagne glass.
00:36:58What event was it?
00:37:01What charity event was it?
00:37:08The one for the opera.
00:37:10I remember this.
00:37:12I literally remember Gideon telling me that he tripped someone.
00:37:16Don't you remember, Karen?
00:37:18I told you about this.
00:37:20You know, I just don't remember you in our circle.
00:37:25You don't seem like the type.
00:37:29Why?
00:37:31Am I not high class enough?
00:37:33I didn't mean that.
00:37:35No, it's okay. I get it.
00:37:37I would be worried, too, if I thought someone was trying to take advantage of my family.
00:37:41I know you have a lot to protect, and...
00:37:43I don't come from a home like this.
00:37:46So you're right.
00:37:48I can't prove to you that I'm not some gold digger.
00:37:51All I can do is promise you that Gideon and I...
00:37:56We know the truth, and...
00:37:58We trust each other.
00:38:07You really are a special girl.
00:38:10I had my doubts, of course.
00:38:11I couldn't be sure of your intentions.
00:38:13Especially with the way you walked in that first day.
00:38:16Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
00:38:18You two moved in together so quick, I...
00:38:21I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.
00:38:24You can imagine my relief when I saw the negative pregnancy test.
00:38:30Pregnancy test?
00:38:33Were you going through my trash?
00:38:36Of course not, Alice.
00:38:38Be reasonable.
00:38:39I was cleaning up the mess you made in your bathroom and...
00:38:42Didn't know what I was looking at until it was too late.
00:38:45Are you trying to get pregnant?
00:38:47Of course not, Kieran, but accidents happen.
00:38:49We are trying.
00:38:53Gideon, you don't think it's a little rushed?
00:38:57Of course it's rushed.
00:38:59No, it's not.
00:39:01And how is that?
00:39:03Because we...
00:39:05Just...
00:39:08It's okay, you can tell them, Gideon.
00:39:10I asked him to keep it a surprise, but...
00:39:14We're getting married.
00:39:16What?
00:39:19When is this happening?
00:39:22Next week.
00:39:26And you're sure this is something you want to do?
00:39:28I'm positive.
00:39:34Well, in that case...
00:39:37Welcome to the family, Alice!
00:39:41Soup's on!
00:39:45I'm sorry, I told everyone we're getting married.
00:39:48I panicked.
00:39:50They were going to find out sooner or later.
00:39:52You know, now we need to pull together right now.
00:39:54We were going to find out sooner or later.
00:39:56You know, now we need to pull together a quick wedding.
00:39:59Sounds easy enough.
00:40:01Oh, we've got to get Nico cleared for a couple of hours from the hospital.
00:40:05Why?
00:40:07Don't you want your brother there?
00:40:09How would that help the plan?
00:40:13No, I mean, don't you want your brother at the wedding?
00:40:17Now's not a good time.
00:40:20And besides, he'll be there when I get married for real one day.
00:40:25Yeah, no, that's fine.
00:40:28I've got to get prepared.
00:40:32You've got to get a dress.
00:40:42I almost forgot.
00:40:54I'm sorry.
00:41:01Need help?
00:41:03I think I got it.
00:41:05Please, let me help.
00:41:07It's what I'm here for.
00:41:11Are you nervous?
00:41:13Why would I be nervous?
00:41:15It's your wedding day.
00:41:17Right.
00:41:19I'm actually fine.
00:41:21Gideon's a great guy.
00:41:22I just mean there's nothing to be nervous about.
00:41:26I'm happy for you.
00:41:28Both of you.
00:41:30But especially you.
00:41:32What an amazing accomplishment.
00:41:34You should take your seat.
00:41:36The ceremony's starting soon and I want to make sure you have a great view.
00:41:53It's bad luck to see each other before the wedding.
00:41:56I know.
00:41:58I don't think I can afford it.
00:42:00Why's that?
00:42:02Hold on one second.
00:42:04I've got a surprise for you.
00:42:09Congratulations.
00:42:13What are you doing here?
00:42:15It's your big day.
00:42:17We thought we'd surprise you.
00:42:19We?
00:42:20Me and Gideon.
00:42:23Hey, hey, hey.
00:42:29Think about how happy mom and dad would be to see us right now.
00:42:33Two orphans all grown up.
00:42:38When did you get so old?
00:42:42We both got old way too young.
00:42:46I love that you're here.
00:42:47Okay, but nothing is worth risking your health.
00:42:51You're all I got, you know that?
00:42:55Not anymore.
00:43:00You're sure you're okay to sit through the whole ceremony?
00:43:03Oh yeah, definitely good enough to have a few drinks later.
00:43:06Let's get you wifed.
00:43:10Do you, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:43:13Do you, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:43:16Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow, through sickness and health,
00:43:21and whatever challenges you may face, as long as you both shall live?
00:43:25I do.
00:43:29And do you, Gideon, take Alice to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:43:33Promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow, sickness and health,
00:43:37and whatever challenges you may face, as long as you both shall live?
00:43:41I do.
00:43:43Would you please exchange rings?
00:44:03By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:44:07You may kiss the bride.
00:44:15Woo!
00:44:40God, he was so beautiful.
00:44:45You have no idea how mad I am at you.
00:45:03You were incredible today.
00:45:07Have you ever even heard of a boundary?
00:45:10I've closed nine figure deals on seven continents.
00:45:14Of course I've heard of boundaries.
00:45:16I just, I don't know, I thought you'd be more appreciative.
00:45:21How? You totally ignored what I said.
00:45:24Because it wasn't what you wanted.
00:45:26What I want is for Nico to be healthy for his surgery.
00:45:29You jeopardized his health. Do you know how big of a violation that is?
00:45:33He's fine.
00:45:35Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:45:36He's going to get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow.
00:45:39You're not his father.
00:45:40You're not his mother.
00:45:45Alice.
00:45:46No, I don't want to see you.
00:45:49I'm moving to another room to tell Helga whatever you want.
00:45:53Tell her we're fighting.
00:45:55No, Alice.
00:46:07Today's the day.
00:46:09First day of the rest of my life.
00:46:12Or the last, we'll see.
00:46:14God, I hate when you say stuff like that.
00:46:16I'm just joking, relax.
00:46:19It'll be fine.
00:46:22So, where's your husband?
00:46:24You know, he doesn't leave the house much.
00:46:27Or at all, apparently.
00:46:29I was hoping he'd be with you.
00:46:33Well, don't worry about me.
00:46:34The doctor is going to take you to the operating room soon, and I will be here the whole time.
00:46:39I know you will be.
00:47:05Gideon.
00:47:08You left the house.
00:47:10It was getting stuffy in there.
00:47:14What are you doing here?
00:47:16I just, I really want to be here with you.
00:47:35I'm a nervous wreck.
00:47:37It's going to be fine.
00:47:39You want to know how I know?
00:47:41How?
00:47:43Because I think you promise.
00:47:48I take these so seriously.
00:48:05Alice?
00:48:08Yes?
00:48:10How is he?
00:48:15Nico's surgery was a huge success.
00:48:18They'll bring him in here in just a moment.
00:48:20Okay.
00:48:22So everything went well?
00:48:24Better than we could have hoped for.
00:48:26We'll keep him for two more days, and then he'll be free to go home.
00:48:30Two days?
00:48:32Is that enough time?
00:48:34I want him to have around-the-clock medical care.
00:48:37What if there are complications?
00:48:39We don't foresee any complications.
00:48:41Money's not going to be a concern.
00:48:43Whatever it takes is fine.
00:48:45Money's not a concern for us either.
00:48:47The thing is, I don't think he needs to be here any longer.
00:48:50He'll make a speedy recovery.
00:49:05What?
00:49:25Gideon?
00:49:34Gideon?
00:49:42What are you doing?
00:49:52I want this to be Nico's room.
00:49:56You don't have to do that.
00:49:58It's a big house. There are plenty of rooms.
00:50:00No.
00:50:02I'm ready to move on.
00:50:04It's over.
00:50:07Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:50:16Krista.
00:50:18She was quite the artist.
00:50:20Very famous.
00:50:22I'm sure you've heard of her.
00:50:24I'm absolutely sure I haven't.
00:50:27What happened between you two?
00:50:29She lied.
00:50:31She knew I wanted an heir.
00:50:34She had me fall in love with her.
00:50:36All the while knowing that she didn't want to become a mother.
00:50:41Women have always lied.
00:50:44Even when I was a kid, they would lie.
00:50:48Just to come to see my house.
00:50:50And then as we grew up, it became more about the gifts and the vacations.
00:50:54My point is, I'm used to it.
00:50:59What made her different?
00:51:00She really had me fooled.
00:51:06You know, I had to pay her off.
00:51:08Just to never see her again.
00:51:11I was so...
00:51:14angry.
00:51:16I didn't want to see anyone.
00:51:18And that's when the rumors started.
00:51:20Recluse billionaire.
00:51:22Gideon Maslow.
00:51:24Must be hard to hear people say that about you.
00:51:27No, I didn't care.
00:51:28I didn't care what they said anymore.
00:51:30I had given up on love.
00:51:33But I had never given up on an heir.
00:51:35You know, I'm not going to hurt you like she did.
00:51:39You really can trust me.
00:51:43Can I tell you a secret?
00:51:48I think I believe you.
00:51:49I think I believe you.
00:52:19Okay.
00:52:49I love you.
00:53:19Okay.
00:53:50Hello?
00:53:52Hello, Mr. Maslow.
00:53:54This is Brenda from Parkside Surrogacy Agency,
00:53:56returning your call.
00:53:58Brenda?
00:53:59That's strange.
00:54:00I didn't even call you.
00:54:02Really?
00:54:03I wondered why we never heard from you.
00:54:05I didn't know you were here.
00:54:07I didn't know you were here.
00:54:09I didn't know you were here.
00:54:11I didn't know you were here.
00:54:13I didn't know you were here.
00:54:15I didn't know you were here.
00:54:17I didn't know you were here.
00:54:20We're nearly ready to send you some options.
00:54:24No, I'm very pleased with the one that you referred.
00:54:28Mr. Maslow, we never referred anyone.
00:54:33Wait, what do you mean?
00:54:35I'm working with Alice Gardner.
00:54:37Who's Alice Gardner?
00:54:46Is everything okay?
00:54:47Is everything okay?
00:54:49I just got off the phone with Brenda,
00:54:51Parkside Surrogacy.
00:54:53Gideon.
00:54:55I thought you said that I can trust you.
00:54:57God, I almost believed you.
00:54:59All the while, you've been lying to my face.
00:55:01Gideon, just let me explain.
00:55:03You are just like the rest of them.
00:55:05You know that you are,
00:55:07you're just like her.
00:55:09Okay, you're right.
00:55:11I'm no different than her.
00:55:13I lied to get close to you,
00:55:15and I was only in it for the money,
00:55:17okay?
00:55:19I fell in love with you.
00:55:21Gideon, I'm in love with you.
00:55:24That's what Krista said too.
00:55:26I don't know what to say to make you believe me.
00:55:28Don't try, because it's not going to work.
00:55:30Right, I thought that having a contract
00:55:33would finally take the complications out of everything,
00:55:35letting me finally get an heir to my estate.
00:55:38God, you violated it from the start.
00:55:41You don't want an heir, Gideon.
00:55:43You want a child.
00:55:45You want to be a dad and to have a family,
00:55:47but you know that I don't want to leave
00:55:49when the money is paid.
00:55:51I want to stay and I want to have a family with you.
00:55:53You're not scared that it's fake.
00:55:56You're scared that it might actually be real this time.
00:56:01I feel sorry for you, Gideon.
00:56:03You have everything in this world,
00:56:06and you're going to end up with nothing.
00:56:18Oh!
00:56:20I didn't know you were here.
00:56:22I was going to make the bed.
00:56:25Looks like you already did.
00:56:27Hmm, looks like I already did.
00:56:34I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:56:37I know you were really hoping she would be the one,
00:56:40but I guess
00:56:42she's not the one.
00:56:44She would be the one,
00:56:46but I guess
00:56:48she was just another one.
00:56:50It makes me question
00:56:52if I could be of assistance.
00:56:55Not unless you can get me an heir.
00:56:59That's actually exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:57:03The last thing I want to do is overstep.
00:57:07It would be my nightmare to learn that I've crossed some sort of boundary.
00:57:11But I think Alice has confused you.
00:57:14Somewhere along the way she got in your head and made it all mushy-gushy.
00:57:19What happened to you, Gideon?
00:57:21You want an heir?
00:57:23Then you need someone you can trust.
00:57:25Someone who you don't need to worry will start feeling feelings or thinking thoughts.
00:57:33Gideon,
00:57:35I've stood by you,
00:57:37unwaveringly,
00:57:39watching these women enter and exit your life.
00:57:41You really want an heir?
00:57:44The Gideon I know would put one inside me right now.
00:58:04No.
00:58:06She didn't confuse me.
00:58:09She colored me in.
00:58:12Shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:58:25It's never simple with you, is it?
00:58:29I guess not.
00:58:31But,
00:58:33I won't be making that mistake again.
00:58:36Which mistake is that?
00:58:38Poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin?
00:58:45Falling in love.
00:58:52Okay.
00:58:54I am going to do something that is very unlike me and
00:59:01actually give a shit for a second.
00:59:05Gideon,
00:59:06Gideon,
00:59:08aside from the doctor that delivered you, I have known you longer than anyone on this planet.
00:59:13And once I finally kill that doctor, it'll be just me.
00:59:16Through all the parties, all the success,
00:59:20and all the women,
00:59:22I've never seen you as happy as when you are with Alice.
00:59:28I know she lied to you.
00:59:30She lied to me from the very beginning, from the absolute onset.
00:59:33Everything was built on a lie.
00:59:36But if you're going to trust something,
00:59:40trust your heart.
00:59:43Do you really want to lose her?
00:59:47Is it really worth that?
00:59:53So it was never real?
00:59:56It wasn't.
00:59:58Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:00I didn't think you'd understand.
01:00:03You try to protect me way too much, Alice.
01:00:05That's my job.
01:00:07And you've done a good job.
01:00:09You fixed my broken heart.
01:00:12But now I can do all the things that we dreamed about when we were kids.
01:00:16I don't need a mom.
01:00:18I need a sister.
01:00:21I love you so much.
01:00:25Can I tell you something?
01:00:27Always.
01:00:29I really loved him too.
01:00:34Okay.
01:00:52Hey.
01:00:55Hi.
01:01:00Well, I'm going to go to my room.
01:01:02Be nice.
01:01:05I'm sorry for lying to you.
01:01:07No, I'm sorry for giving it all up and wanting to throw it all away.
01:01:13That's not what you do, you know, when you love someone.
01:01:18I love you, Alice.
01:01:23I love you, Gideon.
01:01:25I want to be with you and I want a family with you.
01:01:28That's what I want.
01:01:30I want you forever.
01:01:35I love you.
01:01:43What is that?
01:01:48I felt a bit weird this morning, so I thought I'd check.
01:02:04I love you.
01:02:06I love you.
