00:13:27How about you come home with me tonight?
00:13:33Apologize to her, now.
00:13:41You're defending this little bitch?
00:13:43Her name is Vanessa.
00:13:45I'm your biggest client.
00:13:46I can replace you tomorrow.
00:13:49A talent like Vanessa, that's right.
00:13:52You're gonna regret this.
00:14:12For saving me again.
00:14:15Boss, Anderson just...
00:14:19You want me to handle it?
00:14:20You know what to do.
00:14:24Office.
00:14:25Yeah, boss.
00:14:33Breaking news.
00:14:34Mobile Allen Anderson's fashion label has come under massive financial attack.
00:14:47You scared of me?
00:14:58Alright.
00:15:00We're here.
00:15:04I should head inside.
00:15:14Should we go to the hospital, boss, for the results?
00:15:17Tomorrow.
00:15:19Kevin, talk to my lawyer.
00:15:29I need a paternity test agreement.
00:15:31Your surrogate might not.
00:15:33Kevin, you know how much is riding on this child?
00:15:35If she has a boyfriend, people might start questioning my heir's bloodline.
00:15:38I'll try to, but if...
00:15:40No trying.
00:15:42She signs or the deal's off.
00:15:50Get it together.
00:15:53He's married.
00:16:03Miss Scott, we need you to come back tomorrow.
00:16:07Right, the check-up.
00:16:09There's also another agreement to sign.
00:16:11What agreement?
00:16:13Let's go over it in person.
00:16:14See you tomorrow.
00:16:19I'm sorry, again, about yesterday's scheduling.
00:16:24Let's take a look.
00:16:39You see that right there?
00:16:41My little butt.
00:16:43Yeah, right here.
00:16:47That's my baby?
00:16:49Remember, it's not yours.
00:16:54Maybe not.
00:16:56But it's still precious.
00:16:59You guys wait right here.
00:17:01I'll be right back with that supplemental agreement.
00:17:04I'll be right back.
00:17:06It's still precious.
00:17:08You guys wait right here.
00:17:10I'll be right back with that supplemental agreement.
00:17:15Oh, hey.
00:17:17You okay, Ben?
00:17:19Yeah, just like a little dizzy.
00:17:22Oh my God, hey, Ben?
00:17:24Ben!
00:17:28Alex, your surrogate just passed out.
00:17:30You need to get to the hospital ASAP.
00:17:32Your surrogate just passed out.
00:17:34You need to get to the hospital ASAP.
00:17:36Whatever, just keep me posted.
00:17:38Oh, and hey, get her to sign those papers when she comes to.
00:17:41Seriously, she's carrying your kid.
00:17:44Still no.
00:17:56Hello?
00:17:59Hello?
00:18:04Boss, where are you going?
00:18:13I thought you weren't coming.
00:18:14I just was in the area.
00:18:16Right, right.
00:18:18Come on, let's go check on your surrogate before they take her for tests.
00:18:22No, no, you go ahead. I'm going to sit here.
00:18:28Okay.
00:18:34Wait, hold up.
00:18:36Why does she look so familiar?
00:18:39She looked like Vanessa.
00:18:53Oh, thank God.
00:18:55Thank God, hey.
00:18:57I was worried sick.
00:18:59What happened?
00:19:01You collapsed.
00:19:03Hey, Van, your body is telling you to slow down.
00:19:06Because overtime and pregnancy don't mix.
00:19:10But the baby...
00:19:11The baby is okay.
00:19:14But look, this job, it's running you into the ground.
00:19:17You've got to take care of yourself.
00:19:20My boss doesn't know about the baby.
00:19:25Well, he needs to know.
00:19:28The doctor said that either you slow down or the baby could be at risk.
00:19:42Hey, how's it looking?
00:19:44They're both going to be fine. It's just exhaustion.
00:19:46Can we still do the paternity test?
00:19:48Yeah, as long as she's past eight weeks.
00:19:50It's just a blood draw.
00:19:52Here's the updated paperwork.
00:19:56Oh, wait.
00:19:58The surrogate's name is Vanessa Scott.
00:20:02That's my new assistant's name.
00:20:05Probably just a coincidence.
00:20:07Pretty common name.
00:20:08Maybe.
00:20:09I've got to go check it out for myself.
00:20:11Which room?
00:20:12Right down there.
00:20:13But, hey, take it easy if her boyfriend's there.
00:20:16She needs rest, not drama.
00:20:26I'm sorry, can I help you?
00:20:29Hey, this is a private room, buddy.
00:20:32Where's Ms. Scott?
00:20:34Who's asking?
00:20:35Ms. Scott, where is she?
00:20:37Look, that's none of your business.
00:20:39Just checking on her, that's all.
00:20:41Right.
00:20:42Look, you don't know her, and you being here is messing with her.
00:20:45I'm not messing with her.
00:20:47I'm not messing with her.
00:20:48I'm not messing with her.
00:20:49I'm not messing with her.
00:20:50I'm not messing with her.
00:20:51I'm not messing with her.
00:20:52I'm not messing with her.
00:20:53Look, you don't know her, and you being here is messing with her recovery.
00:20:56Oh, and you being here isn't?
00:20:59I have every right to be here.
00:21:02I see.
00:21:03Getting some quality time with your girlfriend?
00:21:08Get out.
00:21:10Get out!
00:21:17Hey, did you find the bathroom okay?
00:21:19Yeah, yeah, who was that leaving?
00:21:21I don't know.
00:21:22Some weirdo in a fancy coat.
00:21:24He came in here acting all weird, asking if you were my girlfriend.
00:21:27Kinda looks like Mr. Moore from behind.
00:21:30I'm sorry, who?
00:21:31Uh, my boss.
00:21:40Is that you, Mr. Moore?
00:21:44Uh, my boss.
00:21:47Yeah, yeah, look, that's him.
00:21:50Total weirdo.
00:21:52Yo, Van.
00:21:54Come on, you need to rest.
00:21:56No, I'm good.
00:21:57You should go.
00:21:59Okay.
00:22:03Mr. Moore, if that's really you, does this mean you know I'm a surrogate?
00:22:09Kevin, did she sign the agreement?
00:22:11I don't think she's awake yet.
00:22:13Uh, alright, let's just do it when she's better.
00:22:15Why?
00:22:16It was just low blood sugar.
00:22:18She'll be fine.
00:22:23Miss Scott?
00:22:24Good, you're up.
00:22:25Listen, I need to talk to you.
00:22:27Are you still at the hospital?
00:22:29What's going on?
00:22:31What the hell is my assistant doing here?
00:22:39And why is she going into my surrogate mother's room?
00:22:44I don't know.
00:22:45I don't know.
00:22:46I don't know.
00:22:47I don't know.
00:22:48I don't know.
00:22:49I don't know.
00:22:50I don't know.
00:23:00Alex, I heard about the situation with your surrogate.
00:23:04You are literally across the world.
00:23:06How are you up in my business?
00:23:08You're my son.
00:23:09I make it my business to know.
00:23:11Listen to me.
00:23:12This woman is clearly unreliable.
00:23:15You should marry Jenny and be done with it.
00:23:21Miss Scott, got some paperwork here.
00:23:24Client's requesting a paternity test.
00:23:27Oh.
00:23:28What?
00:23:29Why?
00:23:30He has concerns.
00:23:34Concerns?
00:23:37I've passed every test.
00:23:39This is just...
00:23:40Look, your kid's going to be the family heir.
00:23:43The client wants to be 100% sure about bloodlines.
00:23:47I need time to think.
00:23:51Okay.
00:24:03Every damn time with her, air this, air that.
00:24:06Hell, I don't even know if it's mine.
00:24:12Did she take off?
00:24:14Yeah.
00:24:15She didn't sign.
00:24:16She said she needs to think about it.
00:24:20She can explain it to the judge.
00:24:37Oh.
00:24:38You know, this is perfect.
00:24:43I got a mother obsessed with legacy.
00:24:48And a father who couldn't even stick around.
00:24:54You know?
00:24:55Boss, what'd you say?
00:24:57Why is nothing going right?
00:25:00I mean, even this.
00:25:04Having a child?
00:25:06Can't happen.
00:25:08Or it can.
00:25:10I don't know.
00:25:12Okay.
00:25:13You can be on your phone on a different day.
00:25:16Ben, hey.
00:25:17I'm at the bar right now, and the boss is completely wasted.
00:25:21Can you come?
00:25:22I would, but I've got a client meeting in like 20 minutes.
00:25:25Okay.
00:25:26I'll be there soon.
00:25:29You don't need to lie to people, you know?
00:25:36Just stay here.
00:25:39Just stay here.
00:25:40Van's coming.
00:25:41She's gonna take you home, okay?
00:25:42You got a strong grip.
00:25:44Just stay here.
00:25:46Yeah, she's cool.
00:25:50Oh, God.
00:25:56Mr. Moore?
00:25:59Van.
00:26:00Mr. Moore, are you alright?
00:26:02Van.
00:26:05Alex.
00:26:07Alex.
00:26:08Alex.
00:26:09Call me Alex.
00:26:10Alex.
00:26:11Yeah.
00:26:12Alright.
00:26:13Why don't we get you home?
00:26:14Oh, Van.
00:26:27I think I'm starting to like you.
00:26:31What did you say?
00:26:37I...
00:26:39I think I'm starting to like you.
00:26:42What did you say?
00:26:44You know...
00:27:03No.
00:27:05Why don't we...
00:27:06Let's get you home.
00:27:08Should we go home?
00:27:09Yeah.
00:27:10Okay.
00:27:11Whatever you say, boss.
00:27:13Alright.
00:27:15Alright.
00:27:16He's in there.
00:27:17Thank you, Van.
00:27:18Where is he?
00:27:19No, don't go.
00:27:20No.
00:27:23You have to promise me something, okay?
00:27:26You gotta stop drinking like this.
00:27:29If you wanna talk, just tell me instead.
00:27:32Okay.
00:27:33I paid some woman to have my baby.
00:27:36Oh, no.
00:27:37But she's probably carrying her boyfriend's instead.
00:27:40And there's no way I can tell you any of that.
00:27:44Isn't good for you.
00:28:04Okay.
00:28:17Van, thank God.
00:28:18You gotta get back here now.
00:28:19Your place...
00:28:20What happened?
00:28:21Your place is completely a mess.
00:28:23Just hurry, okay?
00:28:25We're gonna have to make a stop at my place first, okay?
00:28:28I'm coming with you.
00:28:30Yeah.
00:28:34Okay.
00:28:40I'm gonna go check this off first.
00:28:41You just wait here.
00:28:46Why am I so obsessed with keeping her safe all the time?
00:28:57Van?
00:29:01Van!
00:29:03Van?
00:29:12Van!
00:29:14Van.
00:29:16Hey.
00:29:17Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:29:19Hey, hey, you're all right.
00:29:20I got you.
00:29:22You're all good.
00:29:24What happened?
00:29:26It's debt collectors.
00:29:30My dad, when he died here...
00:29:34He left all these bills, and I...
00:29:36I couldn't pay them all at once, so they just...
00:29:38They took everything.
00:29:42What about your mom?
00:29:44She died when I was six.
00:29:47I'm sorry, Dan.
00:29:50You seem so delicate, and I had no clue this was...
00:29:54Who are these guys?
00:29:57Look, I am...
00:29:58I'm sorry, I don't...
00:30:01I appreciate your help, but I am...
00:30:03I've got this handled.
00:30:06Okay, but what if they come back?
00:30:09Then we'll figure something out.
00:30:10I...
00:30:12I just need to find a place for my sister and I to stay
00:30:14when she comes home from the hospital.
00:30:20Stay with me.
00:30:23What?
00:30:24My place is like a fortress.
00:30:25All right, you'll be completely safe there.
00:30:28But won't his wife find?
00:30:34Listen, my place is massive.
00:30:36There's enough room for you and your sister both.
00:30:39All right, that's it.
00:30:41You're moving in tonight.
00:30:55Welcome.
00:31:01Yeah, just make yourself at home.
00:31:03Can I put my luggage down here?
00:31:07You don't need to be so polite.
00:31:11All right, your room's down the hall, and mine's up.
00:31:15I mean, I'll be close by if you need anything.
00:31:20Thank you, Alex.
00:31:28Get some rest.
00:31:31I've got to shower. Sober up.
00:31:58That's weird.
00:32:00Not one picture with his wife?
00:32:10Hey, Van, mind grabbing me my other shirt?
00:32:12It's in my wardrobe.
00:32:14Sure.
00:32:18His wife must be out.
00:32:28Where's all his wife's stuff?
00:32:40Why is it like no woman has ever lived here?
00:32:48Alex, I have your shirt.
00:32:57Here.
00:33:01Can you help me with my back? I have a sore muscle.
00:33:06It's a little bit in pain.
00:33:08Sure.
00:33:27Is that enough?
00:33:29A little lower.
00:33:43There.
00:33:58Oh!
00:34:05I mean, you've already seen my abs, so it's a little more...
00:34:09Seriously, Alex?
00:34:12I'm sorry.
00:34:25Is his wife back?
00:34:36It's his wife. I hope she doesn't get the wrong idea.
00:34:39Sorry, I can never remember the codes.
00:34:44Oh, hi.
00:34:46Hi, I'm Alex's new assistant, Vanessa.
00:34:49Van.
00:34:50Charlotte. Nice to meet you.
00:34:53Keeping up your traditional pretty faces?
00:34:55I see.
00:34:56Is she warning me?
00:34:58Hey, we're starving. Can you make some dinner right away?
00:35:04You just tell her to cook like that?
00:35:06I mean, that's what she's here for.
00:35:08Hey, can you make some fruit for Van, too? She hasn't eaten all day.
00:35:12No, no, I'm fine, really. I'm okay.
00:35:14Charlotte, peel the apples.
00:35:16Worse.
00:35:17You shouldn't speak to her like that. She's pregnant.
00:35:20Pregnant?
00:35:23You shouldn't speak to her like that. She's pregnant.
00:35:26Pregnant? What are you talking about?
00:35:29Honey, I promise, that's not what's happening here.
00:35:32Something's off with them.
00:35:34It's like every comment means something else.
00:35:39Okay, dinner's ready.
00:35:55Alright, dig in.
00:36:03What?
00:36:05Oh, Van, you okay?
00:36:10It's fine. I think I'm just not very used to the smell of rosemary.
00:36:19Please, come join us.
00:36:21No, no, no. She'll eat after we finish.
00:36:25Okay, I can't stand this anymore. She's your wife, not your servant.
00:36:33My what?
00:36:35Charlotte's my housekeeper.
00:36:38Oh, your housekeeper.
00:36:47Charlotte's my housekeeper.
00:36:49Oh, your housekeeper.
00:36:54I'm sorry. I think it's just been a long day and I think I just need some rest.
00:37:00Oh, hey. If something's wrong, you can talk to me.
00:37:10Between the break-in and move-in here, I guess it's all hitting her at once.
00:37:17Uh, Charlotte, can you go check on her?
00:37:21Yeah.
00:37:28Man, these pregnancy hormones are no joke.
00:37:32I'm reading into every little thing.
00:37:40Van, it's just me.
00:37:42Alex had a knee surgery last year and this was the only thing that helped him to get comfortable.
00:37:49My help with your current situation.
00:37:52What?
00:37:55Oh, I don't need...
00:37:59You almost threw up at the dinner twice.
00:38:01Are you pregnant, right?
00:38:05Does Alex know?
00:38:07He's going to be so happy.
00:38:12What's all this for?
00:38:17What's all this for?
00:38:19Van is pregnant.
00:38:21So, when are you two making an official?
00:38:27Is it true?
00:38:29He's so excited.
00:38:32Yes.
00:38:33Okay, when were you planning on telling me?
00:38:39You've even made me think I was falling for you.
00:38:43I wasn't trying to keep it from you.
00:38:46If I hadn't even walked by, were you even going to tell me?
00:38:52No.
00:38:55So, tell me.
00:38:57Who's the father?
00:39:00Should I tell him I'm a surrogate?
00:39:13Boss is in a terrible mood today. Just be careful.
00:39:16You, wait outside.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:35Anything else, Miss Scott?
00:39:37I already told you I wasn't trying to hide the pregnancy from you.
00:39:46I've heard your excuse.
00:39:48Why don't we talk about who the father is instead?
00:39:51I should know who might come looking for you.
00:39:55I can't tell him I'm a surrogate.
00:39:59My ex.
00:40:02He...
00:40:04He disappeared when he found out I was pregnant.
00:40:12What's his name?
00:40:14I'll take care of it.
00:40:17Hey, a guy like that doesn't deserve you.
00:40:22You've had a good heart, Ben.
00:40:26I'm glad you think so.
00:40:29Boss.
00:40:32Uh, what is it?
00:40:36Boss.
00:40:37Uh, what is it?
00:40:39The Baby Clothings Expo. You're 20 minutes late.
00:40:42Right.
00:40:43Okay, uh, bring the car up.
00:40:45You promised to bring a female executive.
00:40:48You're with me.
00:40:51Okay.
00:41:01Excuse me.
00:41:03Here for the new class?
00:41:05Class?
00:41:06We're supposed to be at a children's clothing expo?
00:41:08No, that, you must be at the wrong place.
00:41:10This is for a new parents class.
00:41:22Nate, why am I at a new parents class instead of a children's clothing expo?
00:41:31Nate got the wrong address.
00:41:35Guys, come on in. Plenty of seats left.
00:41:37We're not here for that.
00:41:39Everyone's nervous at first, but these are the skills that you need to know.
00:41:42For newlyweds, skills are good.
00:41:44Go, go, go, go.
00:41:45I promise you.
00:41:47Okay?
00:41:59We're here. Might as well learn something.
00:42:03Nate said this teacher's won awards and stuff.
00:42:06Hi!
00:42:07Exciting!
00:42:09Okay.
00:42:11So, what are we doing?
00:42:12Exciting!
00:42:17Amazing.
00:42:18So in love?
00:42:19Very!
00:42:21Let's get started.
00:42:22So, we're going to be doing the supportive position for birthing today.
00:42:26Moms, I want you to go in between Dad's legs.
00:42:29Backs against his chest.
00:42:31Dads, I want you to hold your wife's hands.
00:42:34This connection is everything.
00:42:36I'm going to show you really quick.
00:42:38So, you're here.
00:42:39I want you to turn around.
00:42:40Turn around.
00:42:41Hold the hands.
00:42:42And the arms are just going to kind of lift up a little bit.
00:42:47Just kind of open up here.
00:42:49You slide in.
00:42:54Yep, perfect.
00:42:59I guess she must have misunderstood what's going on between us.
00:43:03Doesn't matter.
00:43:04Looking kind of nervous.
00:43:08Not much physical contact with you guys.
00:43:11Make it sound like you're some kind of expert.
00:43:15What are you doing?
00:43:17I'm an expert now, am I?
00:43:24How about you guys demonstrate for the class?
00:43:40See that, Dads?
00:43:41That's how attentive you should be.
00:43:50I wish this moment could last forever.
00:43:53Look at those protective instincts.
00:43:55They're the perfect couple, guys.
00:44:11That's all for today.
00:44:12Thank you guys so much for coming.
00:44:13Thank you so much.
00:44:14Absolutely.
00:44:15You look wonderful.
00:44:16Absolutely.
00:44:21Be careful.
00:44:22Watch your bellies.
00:44:29I guess we should leave.
00:44:31Might as well keep up with appearances.
00:44:41They did.
00:44:42That was certainly something.
00:44:45You cold?
00:44:46Here.
00:44:47No.
00:44:48No.
00:44:49I'm fine.
00:44:50You don't have to.
00:44:51It's all good.
00:44:56There you go.
00:44:57Thank you, Mr. Moore.
00:44:59You know, I wish you'd just call me Alex.
00:45:03Good God, the offices might get the runaround.
00:45:05I'm sorry.
00:45:06It's okay.
00:45:08People at the offices might get the wrong idea.
00:45:10And what about the people at home?
00:45:12Even me.
00:45:15Mr. Moore at the office.
00:45:17And Alex at home.
00:45:21Perfect.
00:45:26One second.
00:45:30We still haven't heard back from your surrogate about the paternity test.
00:45:33Maybe you should talk to her directly.
00:45:36All right.
00:45:37Send me your info.
00:45:50Your phone.
00:45:51Yep.
00:45:53Hello?
00:45:56Hello?
00:45:57Hey, since we haven't heard back about the paternity test,
00:46:00the client wants to handle this directly now.
00:46:02I'm sending you his number.
00:46:06What is this number?
00:46:07It looks so familiar.
00:46:11Is something wrong?
00:46:15Is it the debt collectors again?
00:46:17No, it's just work stuff.
00:46:30Oh God, it's the surrogate client.
00:46:35I can't answer this here.
00:46:38He'll find out what I am.
00:46:44Are you done with your call?
00:46:45Should we head back?
00:46:46You know, that rang for a while.
00:46:48Why didn't you pick up?
00:46:55Oh, it was just a client.
00:46:58Then why did you hang up?
00:47:01That's not how we treat clients.
00:47:03Well, I...
00:47:04Then?
00:47:05If it's the debt collectors or anything else,
00:47:08you know you can come to me, right?
00:47:11I know.
00:47:13I know, and I really appreciate it.
00:47:17Should we get back to the office?
00:47:19Yeah.
00:47:20Hold on, I gotta take care of something really quick.
00:47:23Sure.
00:47:24Hey, Ms. Scott, I'm the father of your baby.
00:47:26Let's meet today at Sitmo Cafe.
00:47:282 p.m.
00:47:29Come alone, please.
00:47:34Okay.
00:47:37Actually, there's something I have to handle at a cafe.
00:47:42Which one?
00:47:44Sitmo?
00:47:46Sitmo.
00:47:47What are the odds that's exactly where I'm headed?
00:47:54What are the odds that's exactly where I'm headed?
00:47:58We should go together.
00:48:00Actually, there's just some materials I need to grab from the office first,
00:48:04but you go ahead.
00:48:06But I'll see you there.
00:48:09Okay.
00:48:24Alex!
00:48:26Hey.
00:48:27Doc.
00:48:28Why are you here?
00:48:29Because your surrogate was uncomfortable meeting you one-on-one.
00:48:32She asked if I could be here.
00:48:35Alright.
00:48:36Where is she?
00:48:37Come back from work.
00:48:50Where are you going?
00:48:56You here?
00:48:59Yes.
00:49:06Who is this client you're meeting?
00:49:13Why are you so nervous?
00:49:17Where is this client?
00:49:24Boss, your mother's back from France.
00:49:26She wants you and Van at her cocktail party.
00:49:28This afternoon.
00:49:29Fine.
00:49:31Got it.
00:49:33Is something wrong?
00:49:34Yeah.
00:49:35My mother's back.
00:49:36Oh.
00:49:37Well, you need to go see her.
00:49:38I can stay here and wait for you.
00:49:39She wants to meet you.
00:49:48Hey.
00:49:49Come with me.
00:49:50His mother?
00:49:51Has she heard about us living together?
00:49:53I won't force you if you don't want to.
00:49:55No.
00:49:56No.
00:49:57No.
00:49:58I'll go.
00:50:00Whatever she's after, I'm not letting him face her alone.
00:50:04Hey.
00:50:05If anyone gives you trouble, they answer to me.
00:50:08Alright?
00:50:10I know.
00:50:12Miss Scott!
00:50:17Miss Scott!
00:50:18Miss Scott!
00:50:24Um, I'm going to go wait outside and see if Nate's here.
00:50:38Yeah, you're going to have to handle this surrogate meeting.
00:50:40After all, I have to go wrangle my mother.
00:50:43Wait, what do you mean?
00:50:44Wasn't that just her?
00:50:47Who?
00:50:52Her?
00:50:53Forget it.
00:50:55Just handle this meeting, alright?
00:50:59Too many surgeries lately.
00:51:10Mother, this is Vanessa Scott, my assistant.
00:51:13Really nice to meet you.
00:51:16Not much to look at.
00:51:19Why don't you go check out the garden?
00:51:21Mother and I need to have a chat.
00:51:25Of course.
00:51:26I'll see you later.
00:51:32Alright, Mom.
00:51:34Leave her alone before the money train stops.
00:51:37Living with your assistant now?
00:51:39Really?
00:51:41And is this random employee going to be around my future grandchild?
00:51:46Because a child needs breeding, stability.
00:51:52Not some desperate girl clearly hiding something.
00:51:57That's rich coming from you.
00:51:59You know, you were never much of a mother.
00:52:01So you don't get to decide who's in my life.
00:52:04Or who's around my child.
00:52:11Bring that girl here.
00:52:26I've been here for three hours and still no sign of your surrogate.
00:52:30She's definitely dodging us.
00:52:32Keep trying to reach her.
00:52:34I am so sorry.
00:52:37Keep trying to reach her.
00:52:38I am sending you my lawyer's number now.
00:52:42If it comes down to it, loop him in.
00:52:51Boss, Ben's in trouble.
00:52:53Butler's taking her to the garden right now.
00:52:55As for your mother, she's got that look in her eye.
00:52:58Ah, damn it.
00:52:59Alright, let's go.
00:53:05You wanted to see me?
00:53:08Leave my son.
00:53:10Take the money and disappear.
00:53:15I think there's been a mistake.
00:53:18Mr. Moore and I are just colleagues.
00:53:20Just colleagues?
00:53:22Please.
00:53:24You're living under his roof.
00:53:26And you show up as a hostess?
00:53:29It's not what you think. I need this job.
00:53:32Three million dollars.
00:53:34Take the money and walk away.
00:53:37Perhaps I should be more direct, Ms. Scott.
00:53:41Or would you prefer to be called surrogate?
00:53:51How did you...
00:53:52I had someone look into it.
00:53:54You became a surrogate for someone else.
00:53:57Alex doesn't need some knocked up schemer complicating his life.
00:54:07You don't know shit about me.
00:54:10I'm just trying to make it and I only take money that I've earned.
00:54:15Leave on your own or I'll make you disappear.
00:54:18One way or another, you're leaving Alex's life, you little bitch.
00:54:23Who, exactly, are you planning on making disappear?
00:54:27We're done here.
00:54:29You're choosing this gold digger over your own mother?
00:54:32Don't.
00:54:34Alex, baby, you have no idea who she really is.
00:54:42I know exactly who she is.
00:54:44She's kind.
00:54:47Talented.
00:54:49And real.
00:54:51You let this little con artist fool you.
00:54:56Cool.
00:54:58You would know all about that, wouldn't you?
00:55:00What are you talking about?
00:55:02You don't remember when I was eight years old?
00:55:04You went overseas to get me the best toys in the world.
00:55:07Yeah, truth is, you were running off with your boy toy, Frederick,
00:55:10and I haven't trusted you since.
00:55:13Ahem.
00:55:28Thank you for defending me.
00:55:30Thank you for defending me.
00:55:32My baggage.
00:55:35Will you stay with me?
00:55:38For now?
00:55:48Miss Scott, where were you? You didn't show.
00:55:51Um, something came up.
00:55:53Fine. The client's lawyer will be at the cafe in an hour.
00:55:57Don't be late again.
00:56:01Uh, who was that?
00:56:04It was... the client.
00:56:07The way she's avoiding my eyes.
00:56:10That nervous energy.
00:56:12Yeah, something definitely up with her.
00:56:14So, uh, what's with all the secrecy?
00:56:21You know what? I'm gonna come with you to meet this client.
00:56:25No, no, it's... I've got it handled.
00:56:31I understand Kevin brought you up to speed.
00:56:34I'm here to walk you through the paternity agreement.
00:56:45I'm not signing something that insults my integrity like this.
00:56:48Listen, I get why you're upset.
00:56:50That's why we're offering extra money as part of the agreement.
00:56:55I am sick of people just throwing money at me.
00:56:59I'm sorry, but no paycheck can make treating me like dirt okay.
00:57:05Sir, your circuit is flat out refusing to sign the papers.
00:57:08You've gotta be kidding me.
00:57:10At this point, you might just have to do this one on your own.
00:57:13Whatever. Set it up at my office. Make it soon.
00:57:29Hey, Van? You here? Van?
00:57:32Hey, Van, are you alright?
00:57:34Should I call a doctor?
00:57:36No, I'm fine.
00:57:38Okay.
00:57:39Lawyer, do you need to...
00:57:41I don't know.
00:57:44Let me, let me...
00:57:47Alright, being pregnant must be hard.
00:57:49Yeah, I know.
00:57:51I'm sorry.
00:57:53I'm sorry.
00:57:55I'm sorry.
00:57:57Alright, being pregnant must be hard.
00:57:59Let me help carry some of the weight.
00:58:19Hey, Nate, what helps with pregnancy sickness?
00:58:21Pregnancy sickness?
00:58:23Boss, don't scare me like that.
00:58:25Just answer the question.
00:58:27I'll send you a recipe, but you gotta tell me.
00:58:33I'm gonna make you some lemon tea.
00:58:36Should help with the nausea.
00:58:42Yeah, good girl. Just wait for me.
00:58:46You're so thoughtful.
00:58:49Your wife must be really lucky.
00:58:53How about being my wife and making me the happiest man?
00:59:03Don't you already have a wife?
00:59:05I, uh...
00:59:07Never mind.
00:59:13Here.
00:59:14I got it.
00:59:15No, just let me, okay?
00:59:23Alex, you're like...
00:59:27The best boss in the world.
00:59:30Boss wouldn't do that.
00:59:33Haven't you heard Nate call me the ice king?
00:59:39After what happened earlier, maybe we should get you checked up.
00:59:52I can't reach your surrogate to set the meeting.
00:59:54She's good at disappearing.
00:59:57Uh, fine. I'll take care of it myself. Just know I'm cutting your fee in half.
01:00:01Nate is right.
01:00:03Call the ice king, bud.
01:00:23Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.
01:00:26Are you okay?
01:00:29Oh, my stomach hurts so much.
01:00:31I'm calling you a doctor.
01:00:33Let me help you up.
01:00:52Well, Mr. Moore, your wife and your baby are doing just fine.
01:00:56Oh, I'm not his wife.
01:00:58She's in pain. Can we do anything about that?
01:01:02Massage oil. Thoroughly apply it daily.
01:01:05And that should help with the discomfort.
01:01:09I can... I can manage.
01:01:12I bet his wife wouldn't love him giving me a massage.
01:01:16Another person thinking she's my...
01:01:19No wonder she pulled away.
01:01:21Let me help.
01:01:23Alex, what are you...
01:01:27Let me take care of you, okay?
01:01:33Let me take care of you, okay?
01:01:41Does that hurt?
01:01:43He's being so gentle and attentive.
01:01:46His wife is so lucky.
01:01:51Um, I feel better now.
01:01:56The doctor said to be thorough, all right?
01:01:58I don't want you hurting later.
01:02:00It's fine.
01:02:20Boss, Jenny's back.
01:02:22She says she's not leaving until she sees you.
01:02:24Oh, that woman.
01:02:26Just stay here and rest.
01:02:28I've got to take care of some other office.
01:02:30I feel better.
01:02:32I'm coming with you.
01:02:37Alex!
01:02:39God, I missed you.
01:02:41Hey, hey, hey.
01:02:42Scream.
01:02:44In the office.
01:02:46Oh, come on.
01:02:48We're too close for that, right?
01:02:50You're here for the fall catalog shoot, right?
01:02:52Mm-hmm.
01:02:53They're waiting for you down the hall in Studio C.
01:02:55Oh, Studio C.
01:02:57Just like old times.
01:02:59Well, you're coming to the shoot, right?
01:03:02Actually, Ben is coordinating this one.
01:03:06Oh.
01:03:08Ben, this is Jenny Green.
01:03:10Jenny Green.
01:03:12Jenny Green.
01:03:14Ben, this is Jenny Green, our lead model.
01:03:17It's nice to meet you.
01:03:19Likewise.
01:03:24So, you're Alex's new secretary.
01:03:28I'm Mr. Moore's executive assistant.
01:03:31Call yourself whatever you want, honey.
01:03:34But don't get any ideas.
01:03:36Alex is mine.
01:03:40Is she Alex's wife?
01:03:43Anyways, I brought you a little welcome gift.
01:03:46You know, to welcome you to New Wave.
01:03:50What's wrong?
01:03:52Are you refusing my gift?
01:03:54No, I put a lot of thought into this.
01:03:57All right.
01:03:59Thanks.
01:04:03Oh!
01:04:05Oh, Ben, honey, you're so cute.
01:04:07Oh, Ben, honey, you're so jumpy.
01:04:11Wait, are you pregnant?
01:04:13Hey, what's going on?
01:04:15I gave Ben a welcome gift and she just threw it on the floor.
01:04:18Are you feeling sick?
01:04:20Wait, Alex already knows she's pregnant?
01:04:23And the way he's touching her stomach.
01:04:26God, is she carrying his baby?
01:04:31Take your things and get the fuck out of my company.
01:04:42Take your things and get the fuck out of my company.
01:04:45You're kicking me out over her?
01:04:48What about the fall catalog?
01:04:50Oh, you wear clothes.
01:04:52Jenny, a mannequin can do your job.
01:04:55But, Ben, she's not just my assistant.
01:05:00She's irreplaceable.
01:05:04I'm your fiancé.
01:05:06Fiancé?
01:05:08Is she pregnant, too?
01:05:10My mother chose you.
01:05:13That's all you'll ever be.
01:05:15Her choice.
01:05:16And I sent her meddling ass back to France, understand?
01:05:19I don't believe you.
01:05:21Okay, believe whatever you want.
01:05:23But call me your fiancé again.
01:05:25And I'll make sure every agency in this city knows exactly who you are.
01:05:30Are we clear?
01:05:35I'm going to make sure that you find out who your new secretary really is.
01:05:41Executive assistant.
01:05:53Detective, tell me you found something.
01:06:00Vanessa Scott, pregnant alright.
01:06:02Booth here's the kicker.
01:06:03Off the record.
01:06:04A nurse at her doc's office told Mesh, basically a professional baby oven.
01:06:09Getting paid to pop out somebody else's kid.
01:06:12You are worth every penny.
01:06:15I'll send you the money right away.
01:06:19Oh, Van.
01:06:21Meet me at the cafe downstairs.
01:06:23Or I'll tell everyone what kind of mother-to-be you really are.
01:06:30What are you trying to pull?
01:06:33Pack your shit and vanish.
01:06:35Or this goes public.
01:06:42Is that it?
01:06:44Is that it?
01:06:46Mr. Moore knows that I'm pregnant.
01:06:49Oh, but he doesn't know that you're a walking rent-a-womb.
01:06:54A walking what?
01:06:56No, I don't think you'll be so irreplaceable once Alex finds out that you're popping out a baby for money.
01:07:07Prove it.
01:07:09Oh, awkward.
01:07:11You can't, can you?
01:07:14Fine.
01:07:16Why don't you come to my welcome back party tonight?
01:07:21And then we'll see how tough you really are.
01:07:26No can do, sorry.
01:07:28I've got a full schedule of literally anything else.
01:07:32How's your sister doing?
01:07:34Sophia, right?
01:07:36She's still recovering from her surgery?
01:07:39What are you planning?
01:07:42Looks like anything else just got canceled.
01:07:48Fine.
01:07:50I'll go.
01:07:55After tonight, honey, you'll be nothing but a bad memory.
01:08:12Enjoying the party?
01:08:14I came, I saw, and I'm not sleeping.
01:08:19Ow!
01:08:20No, no, no. You need to have a drink first.
01:08:23I promise, it's just a regular, baby-friendly orange juice.
01:08:32Darling, look what you did to your dress!
01:08:35Shit, I borrowed this dress. It's ruined, and I can't afford to replace it.
01:08:40You know, sweetie, that is never coming out.
01:08:44You could just dye the rest of the dress orange, and then you'd look like a fancy barking cone.
01:08:52Don't touch me, you psycho!
01:08:56Yeah, I'm the mentally unwell one here, Miss Assault and Battery.
01:09:02Jenny, this is your last warning. Don't touch her.
01:09:11Don't worry.
01:09:17Oh my God, you must be cold in that white dress.
01:09:20Nate, collection.
01:09:29I wanted to surprise you.
01:09:32Pick one.
01:09:33Those are Dior one-offs. That red one is seven figures.
01:09:38Who the hell is she to have...
01:09:44Oh, Alex, darling, you shouldn't have. I'll just...
01:09:48Jenny, know your place.
01:09:55Know your place.
01:09:58They're all so beautiful, I don't know which...
01:10:09Wow, like it was made for you.
01:10:15Uh, Jenny, who?
01:10:19May I have this dance, princess?
01:10:22Sure.
01:10:23I'm sorry.
01:10:24It's okay.
01:10:25It's okay.
01:10:26It's okay.
01:10:27It's okay.
01:10:28It's okay.
01:10:29It's okay.
01:10:30It's okay.
01:10:31It's okay.
01:10:32It's okay.
01:10:33It's okay.
01:10:34It's okay.
01:10:35It's okay.
01:10:36It's okay.
01:10:37What was this?
01:10:38I don't know.
01:10:49Enjoy your Cinderella moment.
01:10:51Midnight's coming.
01:10:54Well, and here I thought I had the only surprise tonight.
01:10:57Speaking of which, who's ready for a little adventure?
01:11:01Oh!
01:11:02We have something special planned.
01:11:04An escape room challenge.
01:11:06It's time to separate the problem solvers from the party goers.
01:11:13Remember the arrangement?
01:11:15Tonight's the night she disappears.
01:11:23I hope we'll be on the same team.
01:11:25Yeah, me too.
01:11:36I'll see you soon. I have a feeling we'll be teammates.
01:11:52Just wait. You'll see.
01:11:54You'll see.
01:12:04After tonight, you're finished.
01:12:10Great! Everybody to your assigned rooms.
01:12:24I wonder who my partner will be.
01:12:46Hi.
01:12:51Looks like we're stuck together.
01:12:53Guess so. Trying to find our way out of here?
01:12:56Yeah, I think there's a clue hidden in this riddle.
01:13:04Do you think that means there's a key somewhere in the bookshelf?
01:13:07She's in this one.
01:13:19Uh, yes.
01:13:23Oh.
01:13:30Alex.
01:13:39Smoke.
01:13:43Oh, fuck! That's hot!
01:13:46Someone said...
01:13:49It's locked! It's locked!
01:13:52Oh, shit!
01:13:54Here, here, here. Breathe, breathe. Breathe through this.
01:13:59You're gonna be okay.
01:14:02Am I dying?
01:14:04No, no. I will not let that happen.
01:14:12No.
01:14:14Please.
01:14:22Alex.
01:14:24Smoke.
01:14:52Alex.
01:15:18Boss!
01:15:19You breathing okay?
01:15:20Get a doctor! Now!
01:15:23Come on, let's go!
01:15:38How'd you know where to find us?
01:15:43Jenny and that host were giving me weird vibes.
01:15:47You seemed a little too interested in that card you pulled.
01:15:53How did she die?
01:15:55She and the baby are stable.
01:15:56However, I recommend that she take it easy for the next 48 hours.
01:16:04Here is something safe that can help with a cough.
01:16:08Come on.
01:16:16Let's go.
01:16:27Get out.
01:16:28Alex, I just wanted to make sure our dear little van was okay.
01:16:34Now, I would hate to hear if she got seriously hurt.
01:16:37Fuck off!
01:16:38What is wrong with you?
01:16:42You know, my family practically owns half the city.
01:16:46And yet, you continue to choose this broke secretary over me.
01:16:52Executive assistant.
01:16:54And unlike you, she doesn't need to wave daddy's money around to get attention.
01:17:00Or hire someone to certify her.
01:17:07That wasn't me.
01:17:09That wasn't me.
01:17:11No, your mother.
01:17:16Ask her.
01:17:17I know she's an addict deep in this.
01:17:20And trust me, I'll get to her.
01:17:22But you, you're going straight to jail.
01:17:25No, please.
01:17:26Yes, Nathan.
01:17:27Alex, don't.
01:17:28No.
01:17:29Alex, please don't.
01:17:30I'm so sorry, really.
01:17:31Forgive me, please.
01:17:32I'm sorry, truly.
01:17:40Hey.
01:17:45You're always waiting for me.
01:17:51Fuck.
01:18:09Fuck.
01:18:21The doctor said you're going to be alright.
01:18:24You just need some rest.
01:18:26Oh, no, no.
01:18:27The baby's going to be okay, too.
01:18:31Oh, God.
01:18:32What did I do?
01:18:33What did I do?
01:18:44Mr. Moore, we need to move on the paternity test.
01:18:48I know.
01:18:512 p.m. at the New Wave building.
01:18:53We need to discuss the paternity test.
01:19:04I already told them no.
01:19:07Why won't they let this go?
01:19:11And why meet at my office?
01:19:13Of all places.
01:19:15What's wrong?
01:19:26Ms. Scott, Sophia's heart rate's destabilizing.
01:19:28You need to get here now.
01:19:30Sophia's heart rate's destabilizing.
01:19:32You need to get here now.
01:19:34Okay, okay.
01:19:35I can be there soon.
01:19:36I'm sorry.
01:19:37Where are you going?
01:19:38Plus, my best friend.
01:19:40You coming to get the surrogate?
01:19:42Uh, you go instead.
01:19:44I gotta go see what's up with Pam.
01:19:56I'm here.
01:19:57I'm here.
01:19:58Is she okay?
01:19:59We've stabilized her for now, but we're gonna keep an eye on her vitals overnight.
01:20:03Great.
01:20:13Thank you for coming.
