00:18:29What happened?
00:18:31You collapsed.
00:18:33Hey, Van, your body is telling you to slow down.
00:18:36Because overtime and pregnancy don't mix.
00:18:40But the baby...
00:18:41The baby is okay.
00:18:44But look, this job, it's running you into the ground.
00:18:47You've got to take care of yourself.
00:18:50My boss doesn't know about the baby.
00:18:55Well, he needs to know.
00:18:58The doctor said that either you slow down,
00:19:02or the baby could be at risk.
00:19:12Hey, how's it looking?
00:19:14They're both going to be fine. It's just exhaustion.
00:19:16Can we still do the paternity test?
00:19:18Yeah, as long as she's past eight weeks.
00:19:20It's just a blood draw. Here's the updated paperwork.
00:19:27Oh wait, the surrogate's name is Vanessa Scott.
00:19:33That's my new assistant's name.
00:19:36Probably just a coincidence. Pretty common name.
00:19:38Maybe. I've got to go check it out for myself. Which room?
00:19:42Right down there.
00:19:44Hey, take it easy if her boyfriend's there.
00:19:46She needs rest, not drama.
00:20:05I'm sorry, can I help you?
00:20:08Hey, this is a private room, buddy.
00:20:11Where's Miss Scott?
00:20:13Who's asking?
00:20:14Miss Scott, where is she?
00:20:16Look, that's none of your business.
00:20:18Just checking on her, that's all.
00:20:20Right. Look, you don't know her, and you being here is messing with her recovery.
00:20:25Oh, and you being here isn't?
00:20:28I have every right to be here.
00:20:31I see. Getting some quality time with your girlfriend?
00:20:36Get out. Get out!
00:20:42Hey, did you find the bathroom okay?
00:20:47Yeah, yeah. Who was that leaving?
00:20:49I don't know. Some weirdo in a fancy coat.
00:20:53He came in here acting all weird, asking if you were my girlfriend.
00:20:56That looks like Mr. Moore from behind.
00:20:58I'm sorry, who?
00:21:00My boss.
00:21:03Is that you, Mr. Moore?
00:21:08My boss.
00:21:11Yeah, yeah, look, that's him.
00:21:14Total weirdo.
00:21:16Yo, Van. Come on, you need to rest.
00:21:20No, I'm good. You should go.
00:21:23Okay.
00:21:25Mr. Moore, if that's really you, does this mean you know I'm a surrogate?
00:21:30Kevin, did she sign the agreement?
00:21:32I don't think she's awake yet.
00:21:34Alright, let's just do it when she's better.
00:21:36Why? It was just low blood sugar. She'll be fine.
00:21:41Ms. Scott. Good, you're up.
00:21:43Listen, I need to talk to you.
00:21:45Are you still at the hospital?
00:21:47What's going on?
00:21:49What the hell is my assistant doing here?
00:21:51I don't know.
00:21:53I don't know either.
00:21:55I don't know either.
00:21:57I don't know either.
00:21:59I don't know either.
00:22:01I don't know either.
00:22:03I don't know either.
00:22:05I don't know either.
00:22:07I don't know either.
00:22:09What is my assistant doing here?
00:22:17And why is she going into my surrogate mother's room?
00:22:28Alex, I heard about the situation with your surrogate.
00:22:32You are literally across the world. How are you up in my business?
00:22:36You're my son. I make it my business to know.
00:22:39Listen to me. This woman is clearly unreliable.
00:22:43You should marry Jenny and be done with it.
00:22:50Ms. Scott. Got some paperwork here.
00:22:53Client's requesting a paternity test.
00:22:55Oh. What? Why?
00:22:58He has...concerns.
00:23:02Concerns?
00:23:05I've passed every test. This is just...
00:23:08Look. Your kid's going to be the family heir.
00:23:11Client wants to be 100% sure about bloodlines.
00:23:15I need time to think.
00:23:18Every damn time with her. Air this, air that.
00:23:21Hell, I don't even know if it's mine.
00:23:27Did she take off?
00:23:29Yeah. She didn't sign.
00:23:31She said she needs to think about it.
00:23:33Fine.
00:23:35I'll call her.
00:23:37I'll call her.
00:23:39I'll call her.
00:23:41I'll call her.
00:23:43I'll call her.
00:23:46Fine.
00:23:48She can explain it to the judge.
00:24:03Oh.
00:24:05You know.
00:24:07This is perfect.
00:24:09I got...
00:24:11A mother obsessed with legacy.
00:24:14And a father who couldn't even stick around.
00:24:19You know?
00:24:21Boss. What'd you say?
00:24:23Why is nothing going right?
00:24:26I mean, even this.
00:24:29Having a child?
00:24:32Can't happen.
00:24:34Or it can.
00:24:36I don't know.
00:24:42Okay.
00:24:44You can be on your phone a different day.
00:24:46Van, hey.
00:24:48I'm at the bar right now, and the boss is completely wasted.
00:24:52Can you come?
00:24:53I would, but I've got a client meeting in like 20 minutes.
00:24:56Okay. I'll be there soon.
00:24:59You don't need to lie to people, you know.
00:25:06Just stay here. Van's coming.
00:25:08She's gonna take you home, okay?
00:25:09You've got a strong grit.
00:25:11Just stay here.
00:25:13Yeah, she's cool.
00:25:17Oh, God.
00:25:23Mr. Moore?
00:25:25Van.
00:25:27Mr. Moore, are you alright?
00:25:29Van.
00:25:32Alex.
00:25:34Alex. Call me Alex.
00:25:36Alex.
00:25:37Alright.
00:25:38Why don't we get you home?
00:25:40Oh, Van.
00:25:52I think I'm starting to like you.
00:25:57What did you say?
00:26:01I...
00:26:03I think I'm starting to like you.
00:26:07What did you say?
00:26:09You know...
00:26:28No.
00:26:30Why don't we... Let's get you home.
00:26:32Should we go home?
00:26:33Yeah.
00:26:34Okay.
00:26:35Whatever you say, boss.
00:26:37Alright.
00:26:39Alright.
00:26:40Please, in there.
00:26:41Thank you, Van.
00:26:42Of course.
00:26:43No, don't go. No.
00:26:47You have to promise me something, okay?
00:26:50You gotta stop drinking like this.
00:26:53If you want to talk, just tell me instead.
00:26:56Okay.
00:26:57I paid some woman to have my baby.
00:27:00Oh, no.
00:27:01But she's probably carrying her boyfriends instead.
00:27:04And there's no way I can tell you any of that.
00:27:08Then good for you.
00:27:34Van, thank God.
00:27:35You gotta get back here now.
00:27:37Your place...
00:27:38What happened?
00:27:39Your place is completely a mess.
00:27:41Just hurry, okay?
00:27:43We're gonna have to make a stop at my place first, okay?
00:27:46I'm coming with you.
00:27:48Yeah.
00:28:04I'm gonna go check this out first.
00:28:05You just wait here.
00:28:10Why am I so obsessed with keeping her safe all the time?
00:28:21Van?
00:28:25Van!
00:28:32Van!
00:28:35Van.
00:28:37Hey.
00:28:38Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:28:40Hey, hey, you're all right. I got you.
00:28:43You're all good.
00:28:45What happened?
00:28:47Stank collectors.
00:28:51My dad, when he died, he...
00:28:55He left all these bills, and I...
00:28:57I couldn't pay them all at once, so they just...
00:29:00They took everything.
00:29:03What about your mom?
00:29:05She died when I was six.
00:29:08I'm sorry, Dan.
00:29:11You seem so delicate, and I had no clue this was...
00:29:16Who are these guys?
00:29:18Look, I am...
00:29:20I'm sorry, I don't...
00:29:22I appreciate your help, but I am...
00:29:25I've got this handled.
00:29:27Okay, but what if they come back?
00:29:30I'll figure something out.
00:29:32I just need to find a place for my sister and I to stay when she comes home from the hospital.
00:29:41Stay with me.
00:29:43What?
00:29:45My place is like a fortress. All right, you'll be completely safe there.
00:29:49The one his wife might?
00:29:53Listen, my place is massive. There's enough room for you and your sister both.
00:29:59All right, that's it. You're moving in tonight.
00:30:14Welcome.
00:30:19Yeah, just make yourself at home.
00:30:22Can I put my luggage down here?
00:30:26You don't need to be so polite.
00:30:30All right, your room's down the hall, and mine's up.
00:30:34I mean, I'll be close by if you need anything.
00:30:39Thank you, Alex.
00:30:46Uh, get some rest.
00:30:50I gotta shower. Sober up.
00:30:55Okay.
00:30:57That's weird. Not one picture with his wife?
00:31:28Hey, Van, mind grabbing me my other shirt? It's in my wardrobe.
00:31:36Sure.
00:31:40His wife must be out.
00:31:49Where's all his wife's stuff?
00:31:58Why is it like no woman has ever lived here?
00:32:05Alex, I have your shirt.
00:32:15Here.
00:32:19Can you help me with my back? I have a sore muscle.
00:32:23It's a little bit in pain.
00:32:26Sure.
00:32:44Is that enough?
00:32:46A little lower.
00:32:56Okay.
00:33:00There.
00:33:03Okay.
00:33:22I mean, you've already seen my abs once a little more.
00:33:26Seriously, Alex?
00:33:32Okay.
00:33:42Is his wife back?
00:33:52It's his wife. I hope she doesn't get the wrong idea.
00:33:56Sorry, I can never remember the code.
00:34:00Oh, hi.
00:34:02Hi, I'm Alex's new assistant, Vanessa. Van.
00:34:06Charlotte, nice to meet you.
00:34:09Keeping up the tradition of hiring pretty faces? I see.
00:34:13Is she warning me?
00:34:15Hey, we're starving. Can you make some dinner right away?
00:34:21You just tell her to cook like that?
00:34:23I mean, that's what she's here for.
00:34:25Hey, can you make some fruit for Van too? She hasn't eaten all day.
00:34:29No, no, I'm fine, really. I'm okay.
00:34:31Charlotte, peel the apples.
00:34:33Of course.
00:34:34You shouldn't speak to her like that. She's pregnant.
00:34:37Pregnant?
00:34:39You shouldn't speak to her like that. She's pregnant.
00:34:42Pregnant? What are you talking about?
00:34:45Honey, I promise, that's not what's happening here.
00:34:51Something's off with them. It's like every comment means something else.
00:34:57Okay, dinner's ready.
00:35:12Alright, dig in.
00:35:20Oh, Van, you okay?
00:35:26It's fine. I think I'm just not very used to the smell of rosemary.
00:35:35Please come join us.
00:35:37No, no, no. She'll eat after we finish.
00:35:41Okay, I can't stand this anymore. She's your wife, not your servant.
00:35:48My what?
00:35:50Charlotte's my housekeeper.
00:35:53Oh, your housekeeper.
00:35:57I'm sorry. I think it's just been a long day, and I think I just need some rest.
00:36:02Oh, hey. If something's wrong, you can talk to me.
00:36:12Between the break-in and move-in here, I don't know what's going on.
00:36:17I don't know.
00:36:22Between the break-in and move-in here, I guess it's all hitting her at once.
00:36:29Uh, Charlotte, can you go check on her?
00:36:33Yeah.
00:36:40Man, these pregnancy hormones are no joke.
00:36:44I'm reading into every little thing.
00:36:48Then, it's just me.
00:36:51Alex had a knee surgery last year, and this was the only thing that helped him to get comfortable.
00:36:58My help with your current situation.
00:37:02What?
00:37:05Oh, I don't need a...
00:37:08You almost threw up at the dinner twice.
00:37:11Are you pregnant, right?
00:37:13You almost threw up at the dinner twice.
00:37:16Are you pregnant, right?
00:37:19Does Alex know?
00:37:21He's going to be so happy!
00:37:26What's all this for?
00:37:31What's all this for?
00:37:33Ben is pregnant!
00:37:35So, when are you two making it official?
00:37:41Is it true?
00:37:42He's so excited.
00:37:45Yes.
00:37:46Okay, when were you planning on telling me?
00:37:52You've even made me think I was falling for you.
00:37:56I wasn't trying to keep it from you.
00:37:59If I hadn't even walked by, were you even going to tell me?
00:38:04So, tell me. Who's the father?
00:38:09Should I tell him I'm a surrogate?
00:38:22Boss is in a terrible mood today. Just be careful.
00:38:25You, wait outside.
00:38:33Okay.
00:38:47Anything else, Miss Scott?
00:38:49I already told you, I wasn't trying to hide the pregnancy from you.
00:38:58I've heard your excuse.
00:39:00Why don't we talk about who the father is instead?
00:39:04You're under my roof. I should know who might come looking for you.
00:39:09I can't tell him I'm a surrogate.
00:39:12My ex, he...
00:39:17He disappeared when he found out I was pregnant.
00:39:26What's his name? I'll take care of it.
00:39:31Hey, a guy like that doesn't deserve you.
00:39:35You've got a good heart, Ben.
00:39:39I'm glad you think so.
00:39:42Boss.
00:39:46What is it?
00:39:49Boss.
00:39:51What is it?
00:39:52The Baby Clothings Expo. You're 20 minutes late.
00:39:55Right. Okay, bring the car up.
00:39:59You promised to bring a female executive.
00:40:01You're with me.
00:40:14Excuse me.
00:40:16Here for the new class?
00:40:18Class? We're supposed to be at a children's clothing expo?
00:40:21No, that... you must be at the wrong place.
00:40:24Is this for new parents class?
00:40:29Meow.
00:40:40Nate, why am I at a new parents class instead of a children's clothing expo?
00:40:50Nate got the wrong address.
00:40:54Guys, come on in. Plenty of seats left.
00:40:56We're not here for the...
00:40:57Everyone's nervous at first, but these are the skills that you need to know.
00:41:01For newlyweds, skills are good.
00:41:04I promise you.
00:41:06Okay?
00:41:16We're here. Might as well learn something.
00:41:20Nate said this teacher's won awards and stuff.
00:41:23Hi! Exciting!
00:41:26Exciting.
00:41:30That's amazing.
00:41:31So in love?
00:41:32Very.
00:41:34Let's get started. So we're going to be doing the supportive position for birthing today.
00:41:39Moms, I want you to go in between Dad's legs.
00:41:42Backs against his chest.
00:41:44Dads, I want you to hold your wife's hands.
00:41:47This connection is everything.
00:41:49I'm going to show you really quick.
00:41:51So you're here. I want you to turn around, turn around.
00:41:54You're going to hold the hands and the bum's just going to kind of lift up a little bit.
00:42:00Just kind of lift it up for you.
00:42:02You can slide it in.
00:42:07Yep, perfect.
00:42:12I guess she must have misunderstood what's going on between us.
00:42:16Doesn't matter.
00:42:17Looking kind of nervous.
00:42:21Not much physical contact with you guys.
00:42:24Make it sound like we're some kind of expert.
00:42:28What'd you do?
00:42:30I'm an expert now, Emma.
00:42:35How about you guys demonstrate for the class?
00:42:39Um...
00:42:55See that, Dad? That's how attentive you should be.
00:43:05I wish this moment could last forever.
00:43:08Look at those protective instincts. They're the perfect couple, guys.
00:43:25That's all for today. Thank you guys so much for coming.
00:43:28Thank you so much.
00:43:30You look wonderful.
00:43:31Absolutely. Let's stand up here.
00:43:35Be careful. Watch your bellies.
00:43:43I guess we should leave.
00:43:45Might as well keep up with appearances.
00:43:55They did. That was certainly something.
00:43:59You cold?
00:44:00No, no. I'm fine.
00:44:02You don't have to.
00:44:04It's all good.
00:44:10There you go.
00:44:11Thank you, Mr. Moore.
00:44:13You know, I wish you'd just call me Alex.
00:44:17People at the offices might get the wrong idea.
00:44:19And what about the people at home?
00:44:21Mr. Moore, at the office.
00:44:23And Alex at home.
00:44:27Perfect.
00:44:32One second.
00:44:36We still haven't heard back from your surrogate about the paternity test.
00:44:39Maybe you should talk to her directly.
00:44:42Alright. Send me your info.
00:44:44Your phone.
00:44:45Yep.
00:44:47Hello?
00:44:50Hello?
00:44:51Hey, since we haven't heard back about the paternity test,
00:44:53the client wants to handle this directly now.
00:44:55We're sending you a three-way.
00:44:57Do you think you can handle this yourself?
00:44:59Yes.
00:45:00We'll put you on the phone and you can call her.
00:45:02Alright.
00:45:04Hello?
00:45:05Hello?
00:45:06Hello?
00:45:07Hey, since we haven't heard back about the paternity test,
00:45:10the client wants to handle this directly now.
00:45:12I'm sending you his number.
00:45:14What does this number look so familiar?
00:45:22Is something wrong?
00:45:25Is it the debt collectors again?
00:45:27No, it's just work stuff.
00:45:39Oh God, it's the surrogate client.
00:45:43I can't answer this here.
00:45:46He'll find out what I am.
00:45:51Are you done with your call? Should we head back?
00:45:53You know, that rang for a while. Why didn't you pick up?
00:46:00Oh, it was just a client.
00:46:03Then why did you hang up?
00:46:06That's not how we treat clients.
00:46:09Well, I...
00:46:10Dan.
00:46:11If it's the debt collectors or anything else,
00:46:14you know you can come to me, right?
00:46:17I know.
00:46:19I know, and I really appreciate it.
00:46:23Should we get back to the office?
00:46:25Yeah.
00:46:26Hold on, I gotta take care of something really quick.
00:46:29Sure.
00:46:30Hey, Ms. Scott, I'm the father of your baby.
00:46:32Let's meet today at Sitmo Cafe.
00:46:342 p.m. Come alone, please.
00:46:41Actually, there's something I have to handle at a cafe.
00:46:47Which one?
00:46:48Uh, Sitmo? Sitmo.
00:46:52What are the odds? That's exactly where I'm headed.
00:46:58What are the odds? That's exactly where I'm headed.
00:47:02We should go together.
00:47:04Actually, there's just some materials I need to grab from the office first,
00:47:08but you go ahead.
00:47:10But I'll see you there.
00:47:13Okay.
00:47:27Alex!
00:47:30Hey.
00:47:31Doc, why are you here?
00:47:33Because your surrogate was uncomfortable meeting you one-on-one.
00:47:36She asked if I could be here.
00:47:38Alright, uh, where is she?
00:47:41Come back from work.
00:47:53Where are you going?
00:47:59You here?
00:48:07Who is this client you're meeting?
00:48:14Why are you so nervous?
00:48:17Where is this client?
00:48:25Boss, your mother's back from France.
00:48:27She wants you and Van at her cocktail party this afternoon.
00:48:30Fine.
00:48:32Got it.
00:48:33Is something wrong?
00:48:34Yeah, my mother's back.
00:48:36Oh, well, you need to go see her. I can stay here and wait for you.
00:48:39She wants to meet you.
00:48:48Hey, come with me.
00:48:50His mother? Has she heard about us living together?
00:48:54I won't force you if you don't want to.
00:48:56No, no, no, I, um...
00:48:58I won't force you if you don't want to.
00:49:00No, no, no, I, um...
00:49:03I'll go.
00:49:04Whatever she's after, I'm not letting him face her alone.
00:49:09Hey, if anyone gives you trouble, they answer to me, alright?
00:49:15I know.
00:49:17Miss Scott!
00:49:22Miss Scott!
00:49:23Oh!
00:49:27Um, I'm gonna go wait outside and see if Nate's here.
00:49:41Uh, yeah, you're gonna have to handle this surrogate meeting.
00:49:44After all, I have to go wrangle my mother.
00:49:47Wait, what do you mean? Wasn't that just her?
00:49:50Who?
00:49:54Her?
00:49:55Forget it.
00:49:57Just handle this meeting, alright? Thank you.
00:50:01Too many surgeries lately.
00:50:11Mother, this is Vanessa Scott, my assistant.
00:50:14Really nice to meet you.
00:50:17Not much to look at.
00:50:19Why don't you go check out the garden?
00:50:21Mother and I need to have a chat.
00:50:25Of course. I'll see you later.
00:50:32Alright, Mom.
00:50:33Leave her alone, or the money train stops.
00:50:37Living with your assistant now? Really?
00:50:41And is this random employee going to be around my future grandchild?
00:50:46Because a child needs breeding, stability.
00:50:52Not some desperate girl clearly hiding something.
00:50:57That's rich coming from you.
00:50:59You know, you were never much of a mother.
00:51:01So you don't get to decide who's in my life or who's around my child.
00:51:07Bring that girl here.
00:51:21I've been here for three hours and still no sign of your surrogate.
00:51:24I'm sorry.
00:51:25I'm sorry.
00:51:26I'm sorry.
00:51:27I'm sorry.
00:51:28I'm sorry.
00:51:29I'm sorry.
00:51:30I'm sorry.
00:51:31I'm sorry.
00:51:32I'm sorry.
00:51:33I'm sorry.
00:51:34I'm sorry.
00:51:35She has no sign of your surrogate.
00:51:37She's definitely dodging us.
00:51:38Keep trying to reach her.
00:51:39I am sending you my Lawyer's number now.
00:51:43If it comes down to it, loop him in.
00:51:52Boss, Van is in trouble.
00:51:54Butler's taking her to the Garden rite now.
00:51:56As for your mother…
00:51:58She's got that look in her eye.
00:51:59Aw damn it.
00:52:00Alright, let's go.
00:52:05You wanted to see me?
00:52:09Leave my son. Take the money and disappear.
00:52:16I think there's been a mistake.
00:52:19Mr. Moore and I are just colleagues.
00:52:21Just colleagues?
00:52:23Please.
00:52:25You're living under his roof and you show up as a hostess?
00:52:30It's not what you think. I need this job.
00:52:33Three million dollars.
00:52:35Take the money and walk away.
00:52:37Perhaps I should be more direct, Ms. Scott.
00:52:41Or would you prefer to be called...
00:52:43Surrogate?
00:52:51How did you...
00:52:52I had someone look into it.
00:52:54You became a surrogate for someone else.
00:52:56Alex doesn't need some knocked up schemer complicating his life.
00:53:05You don't know shit about me.
00:53:12I'm just trying to make it and I only take money that I've earned.
00:53:17Leave on your own or I'll make you disappear.
00:53:20One way or another, you're leaving Alex's life, you little bitch.
00:53:25Who, exactly, are you planning to make disappear?
00:53:29We're done here.
00:53:32You're choosing this gold digger over your own mother?
00:53:35Don't.
00:53:36Alex, baby, you have no idea who she really is.
00:53:42I know exactly who she is.
00:53:44She's kind.
00:53:47Talented.
00:53:49And real.
00:53:51You let this little con artist fool you.
00:53:54Fool?
00:53:56You would know all about that, wouldn't you?
00:53:58What are you talking about?
00:53:59Oh, you don't remember when I was eight years old?
00:54:01You went overseas to get me the best toys in the world.
00:54:04Yeah, truth is, you were running off with your boy toy, Frederick, and I haven't trusted you since.
00:54:25Thank you for defending me.
00:54:26My baggage.
00:54:29Will you stay with me?
00:54:32For now?
00:54:42Miss Scott, where were you? You didn't show.
00:54:45Um, something came up.
00:54:47Fine. The client's lawyer will be at the cafe in an hour. Don't be late again.
00:54:57Who was that?
00:54:58It was... the client.
00:55:01The way she's avoiding my eyes. That nervous energy. Yeah, something definitely up with her.
00:55:08So, uh, what's with all the secrecy?
00:55:14You know what? I'm gonna come with you to meet this client.
00:55:18No, no. It's... I've got it handled.
00:55:22I understand Kevin brought you up to speed. I'm here to walk you through the paternity agreement.
00:55:36I'm not signing something that insults my integrity like this.
00:55:39Listen, I get why you're upset. That's why we're offering extra money as part of the agreement.
00:55:43I am sick of people just throwing money at me.
00:55:46I'm sorry, but no paycheck can make treating me like dirt okay.
00:55:52Sir, your surrogate is flat out refusing to sign the papers.
00:55:55You've got to be kidding me.
00:55:57At this point, you might just have to do this one on your own.
00:56:00Whatever. Set it up at my office. Make it soon.
00:56:04At this point, you might just have to do this one on your own.
00:56:07Whatever. Set it up at my office. Make it soon.
00:56:11Hey, Van? You here? Van?
00:56:36Hey, Van, are you alright?
00:56:38Should I call a doctor?
00:56:39No, I'm fine.
00:56:40Okay.
00:56:41Lawyer, do you need to...
00:56:43No.
00:56:46Let me, let me...
00:56:49Alright, being pregnant must be hard.
00:56:51Let me help carry some of the weight.
00:57:09Hey, Nate, what helps with pregnancy sickness?
00:57:14Pregnancy sickness? Boss, don't scare me like that.
00:57:17Just answer the question.
00:57:19I'll send you a recipe, but you gotta tell me.
00:57:25I'm gonna make you some lemon tea.
00:57:28Should help with the nausea.
00:57:34Yeah, good girl. Just wait for me.
00:57:39You're so... thoughtful.
00:57:42Your wife must be really lucky.
00:57:47How about being my wife and making me the happiest man?
00:57:55Don't you already have a wife?
00:57:57I, uh...
00:57:59Love a wife.
00:58:05Here.
00:58:06I got it.
00:58:07Just let me, okay?
00:58:16Alex, you're like...
00:58:20The best boss in the world.
00:58:23Boss wouldn't do that.
00:58:26Haven't you heard Nate call me the ice king?
00:58:32Now, after what happened earlier, maybe we should get you checked up.
00:58:38I can't reach your surrogate to set the meeting.
00:58:41She's good at disappearing.
00:58:44Uh, fine. I'll take care of it myself. Just know I'm cutting your fee in half.
00:58:48Nate is right.
00:58:50Total ice king vibe.
00:58:59Okay.
00:59:08Hey.
00:59:20Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.
00:59:22Are you okay?
00:59:25Oh, my stomach hurts so much.
00:59:27I'm calling you a doctor.
00:59:29Let me help you up.
00:59:38Okay.
00:59:44Well, Mr. Moore, your wife and your baby are doing just fine.
00:59:48Oh, I'm not his wife.
00:59:51She's in pain. Can we do anything about that?
00:59:54Massage oil. Thoroughly apply it daily.
00:59:57And that should help with the discomfort.
01:00:01I can... I can manage.
01:00:05Bet his wife wouldn't love him giving me a massage.
01:00:08Another person thinking she's my...
01:00:11No wonder she pulled away.
01:00:14Let me help.
01:00:15Alex, what are you...
01:00:18Just...
01:00:19Let me take care of you, okay?
01:00:25Let me take care of you, okay?
01:00:28Okay.
01:00:33Does that hurt?
01:00:34He's being so gentle and attentive.
01:00:38His wife is so lucky.
01:00:43I feel better now.
01:00:48The doctor said to be thorough, all right?
01:00:50I don't want you hurting later.
01:00:52It's fine.
01:00:57I love you.
01:01:13Boss, Jenny's back.
01:01:14She says she's not leaving until she sees you.
01:01:17Oh, that woman.
01:01:19Just stay here and rest.
01:01:20I've got to take care of something at the office.
01:01:22I feel better. I'm coming with you.
01:01:28Alex!
01:01:30God, I missed you.
01:01:32Hey, hey, hey.
01:01:33Miss Green.
01:01:34In the office, our CEO prefers to be called Mr. Moore.
01:01:38Oh, come on.
01:01:40We're too close for that, right?
01:01:42You're here for the full catalog shoot, right?
01:01:44Mm-hmm.
01:01:45They're waiting for you down the hall in Studio C.
01:01:47Oh, Studio C.
01:01:49Just like old times.
01:01:52Well, you're coming to the shoot, right?
01:01:55Actually, Van is coordinating this one.
01:02:00Van, this is Jenny Green, our lead model.
01:02:03It's nice to meet you.
01:02:05Likewise.
01:02:10So, you're Alex's new secretary.
01:02:14I'm Mr. Moore's executive assistant.
01:02:17Call yourself whatever you want, honey.
01:02:20But don't get any ideas.
01:02:22Alex is mine.
01:02:27Is she Alex's wife?
01:02:29Anyways, I brought you a little welcome gift.
01:02:32You know, to welcome you to New Wave.
01:02:36What's wrong?
01:02:38Are you refusing my gift?
01:02:40No, I put a lot of thought into this.
01:02:44Alright.
01:02:45Thanks.
01:02:47Oh!
01:02:49Oh, Van, honey, you're so jumpy!
01:02:52Wait, are you pregnant?
01:02:54Hey, what's going on?
01:02:56I gave Van a welcome gift and she just threw it on the floor.
01:02:59Are you feeling sick?
01:03:01Wait, Alex already knows she's pregnant?
01:03:04And the way he's touching her stomach.
01:03:07God, is she carrying his baby?
01:03:11Take your things and get the fuck out of my company.
01:03:16Take your things and get the fuck out of my company.
01:03:19You're kicking me out over her?
01:03:22What about the fall catalog?
01:03:24Oh, you wear clothes.
01:03:26Jenny, a mannequin can do your job.
01:03:29But Van, she's not just my assistant.
01:03:33She's irreplaceable.
01:03:36She's not just my assistant.
01:03:38She's irreplaceable.
01:03:42I'm your fiancé.
01:03:44Fiancé?
01:03:46Is she pregnant too?
01:03:48My mother chose you.
01:03:50That's all you'll ever be.
01:03:52Her choice.
01:03:53And I sent her meddling ass back to France, understand?
01:03:56I don't believe you.
01:03:58Okay, believe whatever you want.
01:04:00But call me your fiancé again.
01:04:02And I'll make sure every agency in this city knows exactly who you are.
01:04:07Are we clear?
01:04:12I'm gonna make sure that you find out who your new secretary really is.
01:04:18Executive assistant.
01:04:21Detective, tell me you found something.
01:04:26Vanessa Scott, pregnant alright.
01:04:28Bootheer's the kicker.
01:04:29Off the record.
01:04:30A nurse at her doc's office told Mesh
01:04:32basically a professional baby oven.
01:04:34Getting paid to pop out somebody else's kid.
01:04:37Oh, you are worth every penny.
01:04:41I don't know what you're talking about.
01:04:43I'm not talking about you.
01:04:46Oh, you are worth every penny.
01:04:50I'll send you the money right away.
01:04:56Oh, Van, meet me at the cafe downstairs
01:05:00or I'll tell everyone what kind of mother-to-be you really are.
01:05:07What are you trying to pull?
01:05:09Pack your shit and vanish
01:05:12or this goes public.
01:05:18Is that it?
01:05:20Mr. Moore knows that I'm pregnant.
01:05:23Oh, but he doesn't know that you're a walking rent-a-womb.
01:05:27A walking what?
01:05:29No, I don't think you'll be so irreplaceable
01:05:33once Alex finds out that you're popping out a baby for money.
01:05:39Prove it.
01:05:41Oh, awkward.
01:05:43You can't, can you?
01:05:46Fine.
01:05:48Why don't you come to my welcome back party tonight
01:05:52and then we'll see how tough you really are.
01:05:57No can do, sorry.
01:05:59I've got a full schedule of literally anything else.
01:06:03How's your sister doing?
01:06:05Sophia, right?
01:06:07She's still recovering from her surgery?
01:06:10What are you planning?
01:06:13Looks like anything else just got cancelled.
01:06:19Fine.
01:06:21I'll go.
01:06:25After tonight, you'll be nothing but a bad memory.
01:06:37Enjoying the party?
01:06:39I saw.
01:06:41And I'm leaving.
01:06:43No, no, no. You need to have a drink first.
01:06:46I promise it's just regular baby-friendly orange juice.
01:06:53Darling, look what you did to your dress.
01:06:56Shit, I borrowed this dress.
01:06:58It's ruined. I can't afford to replace it.
01:07:01You know, sweetie, that is never coming out.
01:07:05You could just dye the rest of the dress orange
01:07:08and then you'd look like a fancy barking cone.
01:07:11Don't touch me, you psycho!
01:07:16Yeah, I'm the mentally unwell one here, Miss Assault and Battery.
01:07:22Jenny, this is your last warning. Don't touch her.
01:07:28Don't worry, I'm here.
01:07:33Oh my god, you must be cold in that white dress.
01:07:37Nate, collection.
01:07:44I wanted to surprise you.
01:07:47Pick one.
01:07:48Those are Dior one-offs.
01:07:50That red one is seven figures.
01:07:53Who the hell is she to have...
01:07:58Oh, Alex, darling, you shouldn't have. I'll just...
01:08:02Jenny, know your place.
01:08:07Know your place.
01:08:11They're all so beautiful, I don't know which...
01:08:36Wow, like it was made for you.
01:08:41Uh, Jenny who?
01:08:45May I have this dance, princess?
01:08:58Enjoy your Cinderella moment.
01:09:01Midnight's coming.
01:09:04Well, and here I thought I had the only surprise tonight.
01:09:07Speaking of which, who's ready for a little adventure?
01:09:12We have something special planned. An escape room challenge.
01:09:15Time to separate the problem solvers from the party goers.
01:09:23Remember the arrangement? Tonight's the night she disappears.
01:09:30I hope we'll be on the same team.
01:09:32Me too.
01:09:46I'll see you soon. I have a feeling we'll be teammates.
01:09:55Just wait. You'll see.
01:10:03After tonight, you're finished.
01:10:09Great! Everybody to your assigned rooms.
01:10:13I wonder who my partner will be.
01:10:24Hi.
01:10:25Hi.
01:10:26Hi.
01:10:27Hi.
01:10:28Hi.
01:10:29Hi.
01:10:30Hi.
01:10:31Hi.
01:10:32Hi.
01:10:33Hi.
01:10:34Hi.
01:10:35Hi.
01:10:36Hi.
01:10:37Hi.
01:10:38Hi.
01:10:39Hi.
01:10:40Hi.
01:10:41Hi.
01:10:46Looks like we're stuck together.
01:10:48Guess so. Trying to find our way out of here?
01:10:51Yeah, I think there's a clue hidden in this riddle.
01:10:59Do you think that means there's a key somewhere in the bookshelf?
01:11:02She's in this one.
01:11:12Ah, yes.
01:11:24Alex.
01:11:32Smoke.
01:11:36Oh, fuck this!
01:11:38Fuck this!
01:11:40Someone said...
01:11:42It's locked! It's locked!
01:11:44Oh, shit.
01:11:45Here, here, here. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe through this.
01:11:50You're gonna be okay.
01:11:53Am I dying?
01:11:54No. No, I will not let that happen, okay?
01:12:00No.
01:12:01Please don't hurt me.
01:12:04Just let me be.
01:12:08I'm sorry.
01:12:18Boss!
01:12:19You breathing okay?
01:12:20Get a doctor!
01:12:22Now!
01:12:23Come on, let's go!
01:12:34How'd you know where to find us?
01:12:37Jenny and that host were giving me weird vibes.
01:12:40They seemed a little too interested in that card you pulled.
01:12:45How is she, Doc?
01:12:47She and the baby are stable.
01:12:49However, I recommend that she take it easy for the next 48 hours.
01:12:53Here is something safe that can help with the cough.
01:12:56Come on.
01:12:57Thanks.
01:13:05Get out.
01:13:06Alex!
01:13:07I just wanted to make sure our dear little Van was okay.
01:13:11You know, I would hate to hear if she got seriously hurt.
01:13:15Fuck off!
01:13:16What is wrong with you?
01:13:18You know, my family practically owns half the city,
01:13:21and yet you continue to choose this broke secretary over me.
01:13:25Executive assistant.
01:13:26Alright, and unlike you, she doesn't need to wave daddy's money around to get attention.
01:13:32Or hire someone to certify her.
01:13:37That wasn't me.
01:13:40No, your mother.
01:13:42Ask her.
01:13:43I know she's neck deep in this, and trust me, I'll get to her.
01:13:46But you, you're going straight to jail.
01:13:49No, please.
01:13:50Yeah, Nate.
01:13:51Alex, don't.
01:13:52No.
01:13:53Alex, please don't.
01:13:54I'm so sorry.
01:13:55Really.
01:13:56Forgive me.
01:13:57Please.
01:13:58I'm sorry.
01:13:59Truly.
01:14:08Hey.
01:14:11You're awake.
01:14:13Look.
01:14:21The doctor said you're going to be alright.
01:14:23You just need some rest.
01:14:24Oh, no, no.
01:14:25The baby's going to be okay, too.
01:14:29Oh, God.
01:14:30What did I do?
01:14:41Mr. Moore, we need to move on the paternity test.
01:14:45I know.
01:14:482 p.m. at the new Wave building.
01:14:50We need to discuss the paternity test.
01:14:53Okay.
01:14:59I already told them no.
01:15:01Why won't they let this go?
01:15:03And why meet at my office?
01:15:05Of all places.
01:15:07What's wrong?
01:15:14Ms. Scott, Sophia's heart rate's destabilizing.
01:15:17You need to get here now.
01:15:19Okay, okay.
01:15:20I'm at the hospital.
01:15:21I'll be there soon.
01:15:22Where are you going?
01:15:23Bus.
01:15:24Brisbane.
01:15:25You coming to meet the surrogate?
01:15:27Uh, you go instead.
01:15:28I got to go see what's up with Amanda.
01:15:35I'm here.
01:15:36I'm here.
01:15:37Is she okay?
01:15:38We've stabilized her for now,
01:15:40but we're going to keep an eye on her vitals overnight.
01:15:42Great.
01:15:46Hey.
01:15:51Yeah.
01:15:52Thank you for coming.
01:15:53Of course.
01:15:54Of course, I'm here.
01:15:56How's she doing?
01:15:57She's stable.
01:16:01I hate to ask, but...
01:16:03Go.
01:16:05I'll stay here with her.
01:16:07Yeah.
01:16:14Of course.
01:16:21Uh, what are you doing here?
01:16:24My sister just had surgery.
01:16:27I'm taking care of her.
01:16:29Is that my surrogate's boyfriend?
01:16:31What's he doing here?
01:16:39Boss, the surrogate hasn't shown up,
01:16:41but Kevin thinks he saw her at the hospital.
01:16:46Uh, mind if I go in?
01:16:55Ben, this is the guy who barged in earlier.
01:16:57What are you doing here?
01:16:58Wait, wait, you two know each other?
01:17:00Hey, where's your girlfriend?
01:17:02Girlfriend?
01:17:03Dude, I don't know what your problem is,
01:17:04but I don't have a girlfriend.
01:17:07What exactly is your relationship with this guy?
01:17:10He's a friend.
01:17:11He's a close friend.
01:17:16Okay, uh...
01:17:17Ben, you're just gonna leave?
01:17:27Uh, the photo, the one of the surrogate?
01:17:30I need to know.
01:17:38It's her.
01:17:40Ben, she's been the mother of my child all along.
01:17:46So, that guy earlier, he's your boss?
01:17:52Yeah, yeah.
01:17:54But you two seem to really hate each other.
01:17:56What's the story there?
01:17:59You don't remember?
01:18:01That's the guy who barged into this room
01:18:03after you collapsed.
01:18:11It's the surrogate client.
01:18:16Hello?
01:18:18Why'd you stand me up again?
01:18:21Wait, your voice.
01:18:24It sounds familiar.
01:18:26Answer my question.
01:18:29When my sister went into surgery
01:18:30and there was complications after,
01:18:32I had to come to...
01:18:34Meet me outside your sister's hospital room,
01:18:36in the lobby.
01:18:38I'm waiting.
01:18:40How do you know where I am?
01:18:45I don't know.
01:18:59Alex?
01:19:04You just got a call.
01:19:06Someone told you to come out here, right?
01:19:09Wait, but...
01:19:12Yeah.
01:19:14You're having my baby.
01:19:18I'm your baby's daddy.
01:19:22It's really you?
01:19:32But first, that boyfriend story?
01:19:35I made it up.
01:19:38I didn't want you to know I was a surrogate.
01:19:44Can I kiss you now?
01:19:50Actually...
01:19:53I have a better idea.
01:20:03Then...
01:20:05Marry me.
01:20:07Yes!
01:20:14Yes!
01:20:27Ready for our picnic, little one?
01:20:35Thank you for making me this happy.
01:20:38Thank you for making me this happy.
