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.
00:00:19And 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
00:00:36I 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?
00:00:58A YEAR LATER
00:01:01A YEAR LATER
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...
00:01:43I only want to think about you.
00:01:49My little dove.
00:01:59A YEAR LATER
00:02:15So, you're interested in becoming a surrogate?
00:02:17Well, I can't think of anything more fulfilling
00:02:19than bringing new life into this world.
00:02:22That's beautiful, sweetheart.
00:02:24Did you bring everything I asked for?
00:02:26Yes. Medical records, blood work, it's all there.
00:02:31Everything seems to be in order.
00:02:33You're young, you're healthy.
00:02:35I can already think of several clients who would love you.
00:02:38Oh, that's great. It's a huge relief, honestly.
00:02:41Oh, but, honey, 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.
00:02:51It was in the literature we sent over.
00:02:53No, please.
00:02:55Perhaps you can consider egg donation.
00:02:57That doesn't pay enough.
00:02:59Oh, sweetheart, egg donation is still a beautiful way
00:03:02to help bring new life into the world.
00:03:04Let me get you a pamphlet.
00:03:25Hey, cutie.
00:03:37Hey.
00:03:39Oh, no, don't get up.
00:03:40It's fine.
00:03:42How are you feeling?
00:03:43Well, I can't live like this much longer.
00:03:45Come on, don't say that.
00:03:47I'm supposed to start college in three months,
00:03:49and 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.
00:04:00By the way, um,
00:04:02have you heard of someone named Gideon Maslow?
00:04:06Yeah, of course.
00:04:07He's the CEO of Maslow Enterprises.
00:04:10He'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
00:04:31a selection of women to choose from.
00:04:34The agency is confident that I'm the best choice.
00:04:37Well, I can't speak about this now.
00:04:39My house tomorrow.
00:04:40I'll send a car.
00:04:43Sure, I'll text you my...
00:04:45Can 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, I see you met my house manager, Helga.
00:05:42Follow me.
00:05:51Son.
00:05:55What is it?
00:05:57It's a non-disclosure agreement.
00:06:00Guys usually offer to buy me a drink first.
00:06:04Anything that I say in this meeting
00:06:07will not be repeated,
00:06:09and I will unleash a legal firestorm on your ass,
00:06:12the likes of which you couldn't even imagine.
00:06:16Your lawyers are going to need lawyers,
00:06:18and their lawyers are going to need lawyers.
00:06:20Okay, jeez, I 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
00:06:45and give birth to my heir.
00:06:49I'm sorry, what?
00:06:53Oh, you're one of those billionaires.
00:06:57Freaky psychopath.
00:06:59Well, the marriage would be a temporary situation.
00:07:01After the birth of my son.
00:07:03Your son?
00:07:04Or whatever.
00:07:05After the birth of my heir.
00:07:07We'll divorce, he'll retain visitation rights,
00:07:11but the marriage has to appear real for at least one year.
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.
00:07:32How tall are you?
00:07:34Why can't you just find a real wife?
00:07:37I don't get out much.
00:07:39I enjoy the solitude.
00:07:41And enjoy paying people to have sex with you?
00:07:44Who said anything about sex?
00:07:46I know how husbands and wives make babies.
00:07:49No, we would take the medical approach.
00:07:51This is a business proposition, not a romantic one.
00:07:55These 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, not 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.
00:08:32Well, you can take your time and think.
00:08:34No, it's alright. Where do I sign?
00:08:36No, slow down, Alice.
00:08:38I still have to think about it.
00:08:40You're the first woman 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.
00:08:56My brother has a hole in his heart.
00:08:59He needs surgery, and the longer we wait, the less chance he has at making a full recovery.
00:09:04So 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?
00:09:22Alright.
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.
00:09:50I have to live with you?
00:09:52I 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.
00:10:10Now what? Why aren't you signing?
00:10:12I want you to meet him first.
00:10:14I'll send a car.
00:10:16No, no, I can't have him leave the house.
00:10:18Is he a kid or is he a dog?
00:10:21He's sick, Gideon.
00:10:23Alright, well, I don't need the estate.
00:10:25So if you want me to meet him, you'll bring him here.
00:10:29Alice has told me a lot about you.
00:10:31You're lucky. She just told me she was dating you.
00:10:35Well, everything that I do has a way of ending up in the press,
00:10:39so I asked her to keep our romance quiet.
00:10:42I hope you can forgive me.
00:10:45I think I can forgive anyone with a house this big.
00:10:48Don't get too excited. You're heart.
00:10:56Kieran, what are you doing here?
00:10:59Can't drop in to surprise my big brother?
00:11:02No, it's not a good time. I have guests.
00:11:06How was I supposed to know you've never had a guest?
00:11:10That's not true, Alice.
00:11:12This is my very funny brother, Kieran.
00:11:15It's good to meet you.
00:11:16Jenny.
00:11:17Hi.
00:11:19And you are?
00:11:21Oh, I'm his girlfriend.
00:11:29Oh.
00:11:31So you two have been dating how long?
00:11:35I don't think it's been so long.
00:11:39I'm pretty sure I mentioned Alice to you.
00:11:42Pretty sure you did.
00:11:44No, I'm pretty sure I have.
00:11:47Hey, how about we take a walk outside, take a walk around the grounds?
00:11:51It's a beautiful day today.
00:11:59I think everyone buys it.
00:12:02Do Kieran and Jenny have kids?
00:12:05I've been trying for some years, but I mean, it's a sensitive topic.
00:12:09Sorry to hear that.
00:12:11Somebody's got to carry on the Maslow name.
00:12:14I'll give it my best shot.
00:12:19Alice?
00:12:20No, I'm good.
00:12:21Nico?
00:12:23Your brother!
00:12:24Nico, no!
00:12:35Your pulse is steady.
00:12:37Nico, can you hear me?
00:12:39It's okay.
00:12:40Open your eyes.
00:12:41Breathe.
00:12:42Breathe.
00:12:52Oh, my God.
00:12:53I am so sorry.
00:12:55I think I just got a little overexcited.
00:12:58You've got nothing to be sorry about.
00:13:00It's fine.
00:13:01I can keep walking.
00:13:02Absolutely not.
00:13:04I'm going to the hospital.
00:13:05Are you going to be okay to drive?
00:13:06I told you he shouldn't have come here.
00:13:10Alice!
00:13:20It's good that he's getting some rest.
00:13:24What did the lab say?
00:13:26His condition is getting worse.
00:13:29We 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.
00:13:47Have you been able to figure out a payment plan?
00:13:52I've brokered a deal with the devil.
00:13:55Just have to sign it.
00:14:03I thought I'd never see you again.
00:14:05Do you have a pen?
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?
00:14:41Hey, you can have your run of the house.
00:14:44But that room is completely off-limits.
00:14:48You understand?
00:14:50I do.
00:15:00Helga, help Alex get situated. I have to make a phone call.
00:15:03Of course, Mr. Maslow.
00:15:07Thanks for all your help.
00:15:09Of course. Anything for Gideon.
00:15:12He must do a really great job as house manager.
00:15:15I mean, he never wants to leave this place.
00:15:19Gideon is a very complicated and brilliant man.
00:15:23I'm sure he is.
00:15:25I've stood by him through great times.
00:15:27He is.
00:15:28I've stood by him through great joy.
00:15:30And great sorrow.
00:15:32That's nice.
00:15:35And sorrowful.
00:15:38Please feel free to call me for anything that you need.
00:15:41I'll be nearby.
00:15:43All the time.
00:15:44Keeping an eye on you.
00:15:58I thought you'd be asleep.
00:16:02Restless, I guess.
00:16:06So, how was your first day at the house?
00:16:10I don't think Helga likes me very much.
00:16:14You know, she's been with me for years. She's very loyal.
00:16:17Yeah, she mentioned something about that.
00:16:21You know, I don't know why women become so paranoid.
00:16:24You know, I think you need to get some sleep.
00:16:26Because stress is bad for baby making.
00:16:30Our appointment is tomorrow.
00:16:32Are you going to come with me?
00:16:34I sent my sample to the doctor already.
00:16:36So he's just going to insert it into you.
00:16:40How romantic.
00:16:54I love you.
00:16:55I love you too.
00:16:56I love you.

00:18:46I love you.
00:18:47I love you.
00:18:48I love you.
00:18:49You heard Mr. Maslow.
00:19:12Oh, thank you.
00:19:15You know, I've become such a fast reader these last few weeks.
00:19:18See?
00:19:19Perks of taking it easy.
00:19:20Exactly.
00:19:21Who needs friends when you have your sister's old books?
00:19:24Ha.
00:19:25Funny.
00:19:28Really, I'm super proud of how seriously you're taking this recovery.
00:19:32Yeah, 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?
00:19:45Having your priorities straight, compromising on joy because it's what you have to do, it doesn't get more real life than that, babe.
00:19:54Looking good, isn't he?
00:19:56You've done great work.
00:19:58Well, I take tips.
00:20:00I'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.
00:20:30So Helga told me you went snooping.
00:20:36What a tattletale.
00:20:37I gave you access to every other room in the house.
00:20:39You couldn't respect my one wish?
00:20:41Have you ever heard the story of Bluebeard?
00:20:43Obviously not.
00:20:45Well, it's a folk tale about a woman who marries an older man named Bluebeard.
00:20:49She moves in with him and he allows her access to every room in the house except for one.
00:20:54Sound familiar?
00:20:55So what?
00:20:57So, it turns out he had the corpses of six other wives stuffed in the room.
00:21:01You think I went through all this just to kill you?
00:21:05There's easier ways of doing that and much more fun ones.
00:21:09Well, when you tell me something is off limits, I'm gonna assume the worst.
00:21:13You are so stubborn.
00:21:15We did not disclose that in the contract before we signed it.
00:21:19Well, you're a secretive. You didn't mention that.
00:21:22And I don't think you're really 6'5".
00:21:24Oh, I'm 6'5".
00:21:27Come on, Gideon. You can trust me.
00:21:31Who is she? The woman in the painting?
00:21:35She's the reason why I won't trust you.
00:21:38Or any other woman for that matter.
00:21:43I don't know.
00:21:45The next morning
00:22:11Why won't you tell me who that woman is?
00:22:14Because I don't want to talk about other women.
00:22:20What does that mean?
00:22:26That means...
00:22:29I only want to think about you.
00:22:34My little dove.
00:22:44My little dove.
00:22:55What the...
00:23:15Hey.
00:23:17Hello.
00:23:18Crazy how we live in the same house and I can still go days without seeing you.
00:23:22Big house.
00:23:24Gets lonely.
00:23:26Pancakes?
00:23:28Pancakes. Want some?
00:23:30No, I'm more of a waffle man.
00:23:32You know, there's more surface area for the syrup.
00:23:35Here, try one.
00:23:37It's good, I promise.
00:23:41It's good, I promise.
00:23:48It's my secret recipe.
00:24:00It's good, right?
00:24:01It's good.
00:24:03It's really good.
00:24:04You're not going to have any?
00:24:05No, I had the craziest craving for them this morning but now my stomach feels all weird.
00:24:11Alice.
00:24:18You think?
00:24:19Do you have a test?
00:24:29What's it say?
00:24:32Negative.
00:24:34Damn.
00:24:36I really thought it would work.
00:24:37I'll get a better doctor.
00:24:38You know, maybe we need to do an egg retrieval first.
00:24:41Create an embryo.
00:24:43And plant it back into you.
00:24:45That could take months.
00:24:46But you signed the contract.
00:24:48You knew you were in this for the long haul.
00:24:50Oh, I know, I'm just bummed that it didn't work.
00:24:55Oh.
00:24:56Yeah.
00:24:57Oh.
00:24:59Me too.
00:25:09You know, there are other ways I could get pregnant that involves less needles and plastic cups and hospital gowns.
00:25:18Oh, yeah?
00:25:20Birds do it.
00:25:22Bees do it.
00:25:23I mean, why can't we do it?
00:25:29No, Alice, I'm not paying you to have sex with me.
00:25:33I know, but you are paying me to have sex with you.
00:25:35I'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.
00:25:41No, Alice, sex, it complicates things.
00:25:44Of course it does, when feelings are involved.
00:25:47But 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.
00:26:00I know you don't trust women or whatever, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have any pleasure.
00:26:08And you must find me a little attractive. I mean, you want your heir to have half of my genes.
00:26:14You sure this is what you really want to do?
00:26:18I'm sure.
00:26:24There's just one thing you should know.
00:26:26Yeah? What is it?
00:26:30I'm a virgin.
00:26:34What? How?
00:26:37Our parents died when I was 17. I didn't have time to date. If I wasn't working, I was with Nico.
00:26:43So you haven't been on one date?
00:26:46Men have asked me out, yeah, but they didn't understand why I couldn't leave my brother.
00:26:51And I didn't want to bring strangers back to our apartment.
00:26:55Look, this is the first time in my life where I haven't been worried about money,
00:27:00about how I'm going to pay rent, how I'm going to pay Nico's next medical bill.
00:27:05For once in my life, I can finally think about what I might want, what I might desire.
00:27:13So you were going to have my baby, and you've never had sex before?
00:27:17I know. I'm a saint. The Virgin Mary.
00:27:25What? Does this void the deal?
00:27:30I should have told you.
00:27:31Yes, you should have told me.
00:27:37Where are you going?
00:27:40I, uh, I have to think.
00:27:45Hello, brother. It's unlike you to have me over on work day.
00:27:49I have a problem.
00:27:53Alice.
00:27:54Oh, the mystery girlfriend.
00:27:56Yeah, she's a, uh, a virgin.
00:28:04There's a twist.
00:28:05I'm very surprised.
00:28:06She's quite pretty.
00:28:09It's just a little more responsibility than I was prepared for.
00:28:14I know it's been a while since you've been with anyone, but I'm sure you remember how to do it.
00:28:20In fact, if I remember correctly, Ginny Mills was a virgin, and you slept with her.
00:28:24So was I, and we were 16 years old.
00:28:27I don't know.
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.
00:28:36Just take it slow. Right?
00:28:38Come on. It's wine and diner.
00:28:41Ugh, Gideon.
00:28:46You're gonna have to behave like a gentleman.
00:28:51What will you do?
00:28:59Hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?
00:29:01No, I knew I shouldn't have told you.
00:29:03Just hold on a second.
00:29:05No, I should have known better.
00:29:06It's a mistake. Every time someone finds out, they look at me different.
00:29:09Like 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.
00:29:23I mean, it was certainly surprising.
00:29:25Bullshit.
00:29:27Alice, just slow down, okay?
00:29:31Is that fair?
00:29:38Fair.
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.
00:29:56You know, I don't think it's such a bad thing.
00:30:00Not you being a virgin and all.
00:30:02I think that it points to some level of discipline.
00:30:06Can we talk about something else?
00:30:10It's been a while since I've been on a date.
00:30:13I'm a bit rusty.
00:30:16So what do you do locked away here all the time?
00:30:19Dress 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?
00:30:29Never.
00:30:30Not even on a drive?
00:30:33Not even on a drive.
00:30:36Wild.
00:30:37There are benefits, though.
00:30:40Like?
00:30:43I don't normally tell people this, but I make the greatest martini in the entire world.
00:30:52Oh yeah?
00:30:54Prove it.
00:31:10Well, I'll give it to you.
00:31:12That is a damn good drink.
00:31:15Have you ever even had a martini?
00:31:17No.
00:31:18But I'm from Iowa, and we know drinking.
00:31:23Thank you, bartender.
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.
00:32:15Well, I mean, maybe the mattress bed.
00:32:18Very sexy.
00:32:19Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to be sexy.
00:32:23Well, it would certainly help pass the time.
00:32:48How was that?
00:32:50It didn't pass much time.
00:33:00I'm sorry.
00:33:02I'm sorry.
00:33:04I'm sorry.
00:33:06I'm sorry.
00:33:08I'm sorry.
00:33:10I'm sorry.
00:33:12I'm sorry.
00:33:14I'm sorry.
00:33:16I'm sorry.
00:33:18I'm sorry.
00:33:39Are you sure you want this?
00:33:40I'm sure.
00:33:47There's no pressure.
00:33:48You don't have to feel any kind of way.
00:33:49And if it hurts or anything...
00:33:50Yeah, thanks. Thank you.
00:33:56I'll follow you along.
00:33:57Alright? You take control.
00:33:58Does that sound okay?
00:34:02I want you to take control.
00:34:12I love you.
00:34:23Good morning.
00:34:25Oh, hey. Good morning.
00:34:28You feeling okay?
00:34:30Yeah.
00:34:32That was...
00:34:33good.
00:34:34Right?
00:34:37Oh, yeah.
00:34:38It was really good.
00:34:42We could have another drink tonight?
00:34:45I actually forgot to tell you.
00:34:46We'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...
00:35:05I mean, he's got a loud mouth.
00:35:07And Jenny will say anything about everything.
00:35:09Well, then we better get our story straight.
00:35:11If 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...
00:35:20Jenny and Helga are harmless.
00:35:23Helga's coming?
00:35:24Yeah, she said she wanted to get to know you.
00:35:27She has it out for me.
00:35:28It's one night.
00:35:30We can get through one night.
00:35:36Soup's almost ready.
00:35:37Soup's almost ready. Just another few minutes.
00:35:39Thank you, Helga.
00:35:43It's nice to get some face time with you, Alice.
00:35:46I've been wanting to get to know you better.
00:35:48Well, you know what they say?
00:35:50You don't know someone until you see them eat.
00:35:56How do you eat, Alice?
00:35:59You want me to spoil the surprise?
00:36:01I'll tell you how I eat.
00:36:04Until I'm full.
00:36:07Can attest to that.
00:36:09So tell us, how did you and Gideon meet?
00:36:12And the questions begin before you even had our appetizers.
00:36:16It'll be another few minutes.
00:36:17What were you saying, Gideon, about how you two met?
00:36:20Well, dear, would you like me to, or would you like to?
00:36:23Well, I just love the way you tell it.
00:36:26All right.
00:36:27Well, it's a very funny story, actually.
00:36:30We met at a charity event a few years ago.
00:36:33And then we happened to come across each other online a few months ago.
00:36:39What's funny about that?
00:36:41The way life works.
00:36:43Sometimes.
00:36:45Well, honey, you forgot the funniest part about how later that night you accidentally tripped me.
00:36:50Oh, and she dropped her champagne glass.
00:36:58What event was it?
00:36:59What charity event was it?
00:37:05The one for the opera.
00:37:08I remember this.
00:37:10I literally remember Gideon telling me that he tripped someone.
00:37:14Don't you remember, Karen?
00:37:15I told you about this.
00:37:16You know, I just don't remember you in our circle.
00:37:23You don't seem like the type.
00:37:25You don't seem like the type.
00:37:29Why?
00:37:30Am I not high class enough?
00:37:33I didn't mean that.
00:37:34No, it's okay.
00:37:35I get it.
00:37:36I 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 I don't come from a home like this.
00:37:47So 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,
00:37:57we know the truth and we trust each other.
00:38:08You really are a special girl.
00:38:10I had my doubts, of course.
00:38:13I couldn't be sure of your intentions.
00:38:15Especially with the way you walked in that first day.
00:38:18Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
00:38:20You two moved in together so quick, I assumed that Gideon got you pregnant.
00:38:26You can imagine my relief when I saw the negative pregnancy test.
00:38:32Pregnancy test?
00:38:35Were you going through my trash?
00:38:38Of course not, Alice.
00:38:39Be reasonable.
00:38:41I was cleaning up the mess you made in your bathroom and didn't know what I was looking at until it was too late.
00:38:47Are you trying to get pregnant?
00:38:48Of course not, Kieran, but accidents happen.
00:38:50We are trying.
00:38:55Gideon, you don't think it's a little rushed?
00:38:59Of course it's rushed.
00:39:00Mom.
00:39:01It's not.
00:39:02And how is that?
00:39:03Because we...
00:39:08It's okay, you can tell them, Gideon.
00:39:11I asked him to keep it a surprise, but we'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?
00:39:33I'm positive.
00:39:39Well, in that case...
00:39:42Welcome to the family, Alice!
00:39:46Soup's on!
00:39:49I'm sorry, I told everyone we're getting married. I panicked.
00:39:54They 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.
00:40:26Yeah, 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.
00:40:47Okay.
00:41:01Need help?
00:41:03I think I got it.
00:41:05Please, let me help. It's what I'm here for.
00:41:11Are you nervous?
00:41:13Why would I be nervous?
00:41:14It's your wedding day.
00:41:16Right.
00:41:18I'm actually fine. Gideon's a great guy. I'm aware.
00:41:23I just mean there's nothing to be nervous about.
00:41:27I'm happy for you. Both of you. But especially you.
00:41:31What an amazing accomplishment.
00:41:34You should take your seat. The ceremony's starting soon and I want to make sure you have a great view.
00:41:56It's bad luck to see each other before the wedding.
00:41:59I know. I think I can afford it.
00:42:03Why's that?
00:42:05Hold on one second. I've got a surprise for you.
00:42:12Congratulations.
00:42:15What are you doing here?
00:42:17It's your big day. We thought we'd surprise you.
00:42:20We?
00:42:22Me and Gideon.
00:42:24Hey, hey, hey.
00:42:29Think about how happy mom and dad would be to see us right now.
00:42:34Two orphans all grown up.
00:42:39Why did you get so old?
00:42:44We both got old way too young.
00:42:48I love that you're here. Okay, but nothing is worth risking your health.
00:42:53You're all I got, you know that?
00:42:57Not anymore.
00:43:02You're sure you're okay to sit through the whole ceremony?
00:43:05Oh yeah. Definitely good enough to have a few drinks later.
00:43:08Let's get you wifed!
00:43:10Do you, Alice, take Gideon to be your lawfully wedded husband,
00:43:15promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow,
00:43:19through sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face,
00:43:22as long as you both shall live?
00:43:24I do.
00:43:28And do you, Gideon, take Alice to be your lawfully wedded wife,
00:43:32promising to love and cherish through joy and sorrow,
00:43:35sickness and health and whatever challenges you may face,
00:43:37as long as you both shall live?
00:43:39I do.
00:43:41Would you please exchange rings?
00:44:02By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:44:05You may kiss the bride.
00:44:36God, you are so beautiful.
00:44:41You have no idea how mad I am at you.
00:44:57You were incredible today.
00:45:02You were incredible today.
00:45:06Have 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.
00:45:20How? 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.
00:45:28You jeopardized his health.
00:45:31Do you know how big of a violation that is?
00:45:33He's fine.
00:45:35Kieran is driving him back as we speak.
00:45:37He's going to get plenty of rest for his procedure tomorrow.
00:45:39You're not his father.
00:45:41You're not his mother.
00:45:45Alice.
00:45:47No, I don't want to see you.
00:45:49I'm moving to another room.
00:45:51Tell Helga whatever you want.
00:45:53Tell her we're fighting.
00:45:55No, Alice.
00:45:59Okay.
00:46:09Today's the day.
00:46:11First day of the rest of my life.
00:46:14Or the last, we'll see.
00:46:16God, I hate when you say stuff like that.
00:46:18I'm just joking, relax.
00:46:20It'll be fine.
00:46:24So where's your husband?
00:46:26You know he doesn't leave the house much.
00:46:28Or at all, apparently.
00:46:31I was hoping he'd be with you.
00:46:34Well, don't worry about me.
00:46:36The doctor is going to take you to the operating room soon.
00:46:39And I will be here the whole time.
00:46:41I know you will be.
00:46:56Gideon.
00:46:59You left the house.
00:47:01I was getting stuffy in there.
00:47:05What are you doing here?
00:47:07I just, I really want to be here with you.
00:47:09You left the house.
00:47:11I was getting stuffy in there.
00:47:15What are you doing here?
00:47:17I just, I really want to be here with you.
00:47:39I'm a nervous wreck.
00:47:41It's going to be fine.
00:47:43You want to know how I know?
00:47:45How?
00:47:47Because I think you promised.
00:47:52I take these so seriously.
00:48:08Alice?
00:48:11Yes?
00:48:13How is he?
00:48:18Nico's surgery was a huge success.
00:48:21They'll bring him in here in just a moment.
00:48:23Okay.
00:48:25So everything went well?
00:48:27Better than we could have hoped for.
00:48:29We'll keep him for two more days and then he'll be free to go home.
00:48:32Two days?
00:48:34Is that enough time?
00:48:35We 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?
00:49:25Julian?
00:49:36Julian?
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.
00:50:03To start over.
00:50:06Are you ready to tell me about her?
00:50:15Krista.
00:50:17She was quite the artist.
00:50:19Very famous.
00:50:21I'm sure you've heard of her.
00:50:23I'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?
00:51:03She really had me fooled.
00:51:09You know, I had to pay her off.
00:51:11Just to never see her again.
00:51:14I was so...
00:51:17Angry.
00:51:19I didn't want to see anyone.
00:51:21And that's when the rumors started.
00:51:23Recluse billionaire.
00:51:25Gideon Maslow.
00:51:27Must be hard to hear people say that about you.
00:51:30No, I didn't care what they said anymore.
00:51:32I had given up on love.
00:51:35But I had never given up on an heir.
00:51:37You know, I'm not going to hurt you like she did.
00:51:41You really can trust me.
00:51:45Can I tell you a secret?
00:51:50I think I believe you.
00:52:01I love you.
00:52:31I love you.
00:53:01I love you.
00:53:31Come here.
00:54:02Hello?
00:54:04Hello, Mr. Maslow.
00:54:06This is Brenda from Parkside Surrogacy Agency, returning your call.
00:54:09Brenda?
00:54:11That's strange, I didn't even call you.
00:54:13Really?
00:54:15I wondered why we never heard from you.
00:54:18We're nearly ready to send you some options.
00:54:21No, I'm...
00:54:23I'm very pleased with the one that you referred.
00:54:26Mr. Maslow, we never referred it.
00:54:29Mr. Maslow, we never referred anyone.
00:54:34Wait, what do you mean?
00:54:36I'm working with Alice Gardner.
00:54:38Who's Alice Gardner?
00:54:47Is everything okay?
00:54:49I just got off the phone with Brenda.
00:54:52Parkside Surrogacy.
00:54:54Gideon...
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.
00:55:02Gideon, just let me explain.
00:55:04You are just like the rest of them.
00:55:06You know that you are...
00:55:08You're just like her.
00:55:10Okay, you're right. I'm no different than her.
00:55:12I lied to get close to you and I was only in it for the money, but somewhere along the way things changed.
00:55:17Okay, I fell in love with you.
00:55:20Gideon, I'm in love with you.
00:55:23That's what Krista said too.
00:55:24I don't know what to say to make you believe me.
00:55:27Don't try, because it's not going to work.
00:55:29I thought that having a contract would finally take the complications out of everything, letting me finally get an heir to my estate.
00:55:37God, you violated it from the start.
00:55:40You don't want an heir, Gideon.
00:55:42You want a child. You want to be a dad and to have a family.
00:55:46And deep down you know that I don't want to leave when the money is paid.
00:55:49I want to stay and I want to have a family with you.
00:55:51You're not scared that it's fake.
00:55:53You're scared that it might actually be real this time.
00:55:58I feel sorry for you, Gideon.
00:56:01You have everything in this world and you're going to end up with nothing.
00:56:22Oh, I didn't know you were here.
00:56:26I was going to make the bed.
00:56:29Looks like you already did.
00:56:31Hmm, looks like I already did.
00:56:37I'm sorry, Gideon.
00:56:40I know you were really hoping she would be the one, but I guess she was just another one.
00:56:46It makes me question if I could be of assistance.
00:56:51Not unless you can get me an heir.
00:56:55That's actually exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:56:59The last thing I want to do is overstep.
00:57:03It would be my nightmare to learn that I've crossed some sort of boundary.
00:57:07But I think Alice has confused you.
00:57:10Somewhere along the way she was trying to help 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, I've stood by you.
00:57:36Unwaveringly.
00:57:38Watching 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.
00:58:08She colored me in.
00:58:11Shaded me into three dimensions and she tore it all up.
00:58:24It's never simple with you, is it?
00:58:28I guess not.
00:58:30But I won't be making that mistake again.
00:58:33I won't be making that mistake again.
00:58:37Which mistake is that?
00:58:39Poaching a surrogate for a contract marriage or trying to impregnate a virgin?
00:58:46Falling in love.
00:58:53Okay.
00:58:55I am going to do something that is very unlike me and actually give a shit for a second.
00:59:06Gideon, aside 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, and 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. Everything was built on a lie.
00:59:36But if you're going to trust something, trust your heart.
00:59:43Do you really want to lose her?
00:59:47Is it really worth that?
00:59:52So it was never real.
00:59:55It wasn't.
00:59:58Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:00I didn't think you'd understand.
01:00:02You try to protect me way too much, Alice.
01:00:05That's my job.
01:00:06And you've done a good job.
01:00:08You fixed my broken heart.
01:00:11But now I can do all the things that we dreamed about when we were kids.
01:00:16I don't need a mom. I need a sister.
01:00:21I love you so much.
01:00:24Can I tell you something?
01:00:26Always.
01:00:28I really loved him too.
01:00:52Hey.
01:00:55Hi.
01:00:59Well, I'm going to go to my room. Be nice.
01:01:02I will.
01:01:06I'm sorry for lying to you.
01:01:08No, I'm sorry for giving it all up and wanting to throw it all away.
01:01:14That's not what you do, you know, when you love someone.
01:01:19I love you.
01:01:21Alice.
01:01:23I love you, Gideon.
01:01:26I want to be with you and I want a family with you.
01:01:29That's what I want. I want you forever.
01:01:42What is that?
01:01:43What is that?
01:01:48I felt a bit weird this morning, so I thought I'd check.
01:02:13I'm sorry.
