00:00:00Father? What's the meaning of this? How could you do this to me?
00:00:03Well, good morning, Emmeline. I see you're in a great mood again.
00:00:07After everything I've done for you, the family, the company, this is how you reward me?
00:00:11Calm down and let me know what you're saying.
00:00:13Oh, so you're gonna deny it?
00:00:15Denying what? I still have no idea what you're talking about.
00:00:18The rumors going around the company that you're stepping down in three months
00:00:21and you've already named Jonas your successor.
00:00:23So that's what this drama is about?
00:00:24Yes!
00:00:25Yeah, it's true.
00:00:26That's ridiculous! Jonas can't take care of himself, let alone the whole company.
00:00:30I mean, all he does is spend his money on partying and women, and I'm the one who actually does the work?
00:00:35Yes, and that's why you're the chief operating officer.
00:00:38Look, I need you, with your skill set in that role, so that you can support your brother
00:00:42so that he, too, can succeed.
00:00:44Well, what if I make you an offer when you can't refuse?
00:00:49I'm listening.
00:00:51I'm listening. Have a seat.
00:00:55Father, I am certain this is an offer you're going to appreciate.
00:00:59An offer I'm going to appreciate?
00:01:01You're getting married? Great, because we both know you're not getting any younger.
00:01:05What? No, I'm talking about a business proposal, not a marriage.
00:01:09Yeah, okay, well, what's your business proposal?
00:01:13Okay, so, what is it?
00:01:18Okay, so, what if I could secure a partnership with the Anderson Corporation?
00:01:22The Anderson Corporation? I've been trying to land that account for ten years.
00:01:26It's impossible. It can't be done.
00:01:29I have my ways, father. I just need you to trust me.
00:01:33If it was anybody else, I would say no.
00:01:37But you're my daughter, and I trust you.
00:01:41But, just to let you know, I am going to be publicly announcing my retirement in three months.
00:01:47So you have three months to change my mind.
00:01:51Um, thank you, but I was hoping just to have a little more time.
00:01:55Three months, and not a day more.
00:02:12Fucking hell. I just don't get it.
00:02:16I have sent out a million proposals at this point, and I've still had no response.
00:02:26Mail for Mr. Blancastro?
00:02:28Yes, thank you.
00:02:31Yes, who is it?
00:02:33Yes, Cynthia, what do you want?
00:02:35Um, I've got mail from the Anderson Corporation. I think they finally responded.
00:02:39What'd they say?
00:02:40Oh, I don't know. It's sealed.
00:02:42Don't just stand there. Read it to me.
00:02:44Okay.
00:02:45Okay.
00:02:46Okay.
00:02:47Okay.
00:02:48Okay.
00:02:49Okay.
00:02:50Okay.
00:02:51Okay.
00:02:52Okay.
00:02:53Okay.
00:02:54Okay.
00:02:55Okay.
00:02:56Okay.
00:02:57Okay.
00:02:58Okay.
00:03:00Oh my god.
00:03:02This is from Mr. X himself.
00:03:04He's asked me to come meet him at his private residence to discuss the terms of the contract.
00:03:09Oh my god. It's great news.
00:03:11I'll cancel the rest of your appointments for the afternoon.
00:03:14No. No, I don't think that'll be necessary.
00:03:17Why not?
00:03:18Because I'm not going.
00:03:21What do you mean you're not going?
00:03:23This is the big break you've been waiting for.
00:03:25I know. I know, but...
00:03:27doesn't something about this seem off to you?
00:03:30Off? What do you mean, off?
00:03:33You've sent out a million proposals,
00:03:35and now suddenly we get a response from Mr. X himself?
00:03:38I guess so, Ms. Castro, but what do you have to lose?
00:03:41Honestly, it's not a big deal.
00:03:43It's not a big deal.
00:03:45It's not a big deal.
00:03:47It's not a big deal.
00:03:49Honestly, you've been waiting for this.
00:03:52Might as well.
00:04:10Hey, you! Gardner!
00:04:13I'm here to meet Mr. X. Am I in the right place?
00:04:19Do I know you from somewhere?
00:04:21Yes, I imagine you do. I'm...
00:04:24Unimportant. I'm here to meet Mr. X.
00:04:27Is this the place?
00:04:29He's waiting for you.
00:04:31Just through that door and down the hall.
00:04:49Mr. X.
00:04:51Mr. X.
00:04:53Mr. X.
00:04:55Mr. X.
00:04:57Mr. X.
00:04:59Mr. X.
00:05:01Mr. X.
00:05:03Mr. X.
00:05:05Mr. X.
00:05:07Mr. X.
00:05:09Mr. X.
00:05:11Mr. X.
00:05:13Mr. X.
00:05:15Mr. X.
00:05:18Mr. X.
00:05:20Mr. X.
00:05:22Mr. X.
00:05:24Mr. Y.
00:05:26Mr. Y.
00:05:28Hello, Hawaii.
00:05:33Look, I don't know what kind of a sick game you're playing,
00:05:36but you should go back outside and keep raking up leaves.
00:05:39I don't think your boss would be too happy with you wearing his clothes
00:05:42and sitting on his expensive couch.
00:05:45No way, you're Jeff?
00:05:58In the flesh.
00:05:59You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:06:03You haven't answered my question.
00:06:05What's going on here?
00:06:06Well, you arranged a meeting with Mr. X, so here we are.
00:06:11I imagine this is all a little much for you to take in.
00:06:13This doesn't make any sense.
00:06:20I just saw you outside pruning plants, and now you're giving me a glass of whiskey?
00:06:26Is this a prank?
00:06:27Are there cameras?
00:06:28Cameras?
00:06:29I don't much care for intrusive technology, and I don't think it's a crime for a man to
00:06:36tend his own garden.
00:06:37I get a lot of satisfaction from doing it myself.
00:06:40It's therapeutic.
00:06:42So, what you're trying to tell me is-
00:06:44I'm Mr. X.
00:06:46I'm the one you came here to see.
00:06:48Now shall we dispense with the charades and get down to business, or would you care to
00:06:52be hysterical for a few more minutes?
00:06:55Bullshit.
00:06:56You're lying.
00:06:57Will you just admit it and stop playing games?
00:06:59You don't have to believe me.
00:07:01I'm not trying to convince you.
00:07:02The door's still open.
00:07:03You're welcome to leave.
00:07:13I've got to say, this looks really good.
00:07:16One of the best proposals I've read in a while, in fact.
00:07:20I guess all the media say about you is true.
00:07:23But the figures we're looking at here are running the billions of dollars.
00:07:26Are you sure you can manage such resources?
00:07:29But I have a detailed project plan, and I'm-
00:07:34I've looked at your plan, and I've had my team go through it as well.
00:07:38The simple truth is, your company does not have the resources to manage such a large
00:07:42project.
00:07:43On paper, at least.
00:07:44Your father has consecutively been turned down over thirty times in the past ten years
00:07:48for this reason alone.
00:07:49What makes you think we'd accept your company's offer this time, if you've been rejected so
00:07:53many times before?
00:07:54You had all that information, and you've still invited me here.
00:07:58So that begs the question, what am I really doing here?
00:08:03Oh, Emma.
00:08:05You're always as intelligent as you are beautiful.
00:08:08Don't patronize me.
00:08:09All right.
00:08:10I won't waste your time.
00:08:11I brought you here to make you an offer.
00:08:15One that could help you secure what you came for.
00:08:25Help me secure what I came for?
00:08:27You mean the contract?
00:08:29Did you come for something else?
00:08:31No.
00:08:32I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
00:08:35What's the offer?
00:08:38Take it.
00:08:40Open it.
00:08:43What is this supposed to be?
00:08:46You're a smart woman, Emma.
00:08:47I'm sure you can read what's on the paper.
00:08:50This is a marriage contract.
00:08:53Between you and me.
00:08:56Contractual terms of the marriage outlined in detail.
00:08:59Contract set to expire in three months.
00:09:01What makes you think I would ever, in a million years,
00:09:04accept something as bizarre as this?
00:09:06You think I would willingly sell myself into servitude
00:09:09just for a contract?
00:09:11Let's not play games, Emma.
00:09:13I feel they're a waste of time, and I don't have much of it to spare.
00:09:16I'm guessing the same is true for you.
00:09:19I know the reason you're here.
00:09:21Or, dare I say, the motive behind your actions.
00:09:24What, Mattis, could that possibly be?
00:09:26Oh, I don't know.
00:09:28The fact that your father is publicly resigning
00:09:31from his position as CEO in three months?
00:09:34Or that he's naming someone who is not you as his successor?
00:09:37So, you thought that securing a massive contract
00:09:40like the Anderson Corporation
00:09:43could change his mind,
00:09:46and finally give you the recognition you feel you deserve.
00:09:49Let me know if I missed something.
00:09:52How could you possibly know all this?
00:09:55It's down to such detail.
00:09:58In this line of business, information is key.
00:10:01And I always have my way of getting the information I want.
00:10:04So you've been spying on me.
00:10:07I should get a restraining order against you.
00:10:10I wouldn't call it spying when your family's business is always on the news.
00:10:13It's just simple deduction, putting two and two together.
00:10:16And how exactly do you plan to get a restraining order
00:10:19against a man who doesn't exist?
00:10:22What are you talking about?
00:10:25I know you. You're sitting right in front of me.
00:10:28What do you really know about me,
00:10:31besides the fact that my name might be Jeff?
00:10:34Might be.
00:10:37The world knows me as Mr. X.
00:10:40You have a name and a face, but little else.
00:10:43I drove here, remember? I know where you live.
00:10:47I have a lot of things in my estate, none of which are in my name.
00:10:50But I think we're getting a little off topic here.
00:10:53You have a contract in front of you that can make all of your dreams come true.
00:10:56The question is, do you have the balls to take it?
00:10:59Of course.
00:11:02You could walk away, turn it down,
00:11:05and none of this will have happened.
00:11:08But remember, this is a one-time offer.
00:11:11So, decide.
00:11:17Can I at least take some time to go through it carefully
00:11:20and then make a decision?
00:11:23Smart woman.
00:11:26I'll give you three days to decide.
00:11:29After which, the contract will be withdrawn.
00:11:32And nobody is to know about our little arrangement.
00:11:35Is that clear?
00:11:38Yes.
00:11:41Goddammit.
00:11:44This ass almost had to be out of his goddamn mind.
00:11:47He wants to turn me into a slave, and for what?
00:11:50Are you hiding something from me, baby sister?
00:11:53Hiding? I don't need to hide anything from you.
00:11:56You're always too intoxicated to see clearly anyway.
00:11:59Oh, Emma.
00:12:02You never miss an opportunity to have a go at me, do you?
00:12:05It's bad enough I always have pops on my back.
00:12:08You're clearly his favorite.
00:12:11I mean, he gives you everything on a gulp platter, and you just take it for granted.
00:12:14You think you have everything figured out, don't you?
00:12:17When in truth, you're just a scared little girl
00:12:20running around seeking validation from her daddy.
00:12:23What are you doing here, Jonas?
00:12:26I know you didn't just come to say hi.
00:12:29I have a lot to get done today.
00:12:32What, I can't just come check up on my little sister?
00:12:35I just have a lot going on. Have a seat.
00:12:45This is a nice office you have here.
00:12:48But remind me to give you a raise when I finally take over.
00:12:51Now can you please tell me why you're here?
00:12:54Get down to business, you mean?
00:12:57Well, I'd like you to tell father
00:13:00that you're no longer interested in the position of CEO
00:13:03and that you would gladly let me take the lead as your big brother.
00:13:13And why the hell would I want to do that?
00:13:16Maybe because I asked nicely?
00:13:19With a cute little smile on my face?
00:13:22I could do a sad face if you'd like.
00:13:25This is ridiculous. I don't have time for this. I have work to do.
00:13:28I don't have time for your games.
00:13:31Is that a threat, big brother?
00:13:34A threat? I'm just trying to look out for you, kiddo.
00:13:37Politics can be a dirty game.
00:13:40Well, thank you so much for your concern, Jonas.
00:13:43I really appreciate it, but I've made up my mind.
00:13:46I'm not chickening out.
00:13:49You've always had a hard time listening to simple instructions, haven't you?
00:13:52You see, here's what bothers me.
00:13:55Why do you even want it, anyway?
00:13:59I mean, you barely have enough time for yourself,
00:14:02let alone running the day-to-day operations of a huge company like this.
00:14:05And even if I'm CEO,
00:14:08you'll still have plenty of money to fund your extravagant lifestyle.
00:14:11So why do you want it?
00:14:14You know what? You're right.
00:14:17I don't have time to manage any of this.
00:14:20Which is why I want to make you second-in-command.
00:14:23You'll get to manage all the day-to-day operations and make the big decisions.
00:14:26You'll basically be the one in charge,
00:14:29and I'll just be the pretty face of the company.
00:14:32How does that sound to you?
00:14:35You're out of your mind, Jonas.
00:14:38So let me get this straight.
00:14:41You want me to do all the work around here,
00:14:44and you just get to take the credit?
00:14:47Would that be too much to ask of my little sister?
00:14:50I don't know what delusional world you're living in,
00:14:53but let me ask you this.
00:14:56How do you envision this will end?
00:14:59You think I'd stand idly by while you take my fucking birthright?
00:15:02Well, when last I checked, we both had the same last name.
00:15:05I don't remember when that right was conferred to you.
00:15:08You think Father will entertain this sick fantasy of yours?
00:15:11Just like when we were kids,
00:15:14he wants to just see you get tired out before he comes to console you.
00:15:17I'm just trying to save you from all that stress.
00:15:20Thank you for your concern, brother.
00:15:23It's deeply appreciated.
00:15:26But I'll have to pass on your offer.
00:15:29Fine.
00:15:32If you won't heed the voice of reason, so be it.
00:15:35But don't come crying to me when things get ugly.
00:15:38Dare I ask, is that a threat I detect, brother?
00:15:41It's not a very nice way to talk to your little sister, is it?
00:15:44You know, you're lucky I-
00:15:47Alright, Cynthia, my brother here was just leaving.
00:15:50This isn't over, little sister.
00:15:53I'll be back.
00:16:07You have something for me?
00:16:10Oh, yeah, your 3 o'clock appointment.
00:16:13You told me to remind you when our client is here.
00:16:16Sorry, Cynthia. I guess I was just a bit distracted.
00:16:19Can we reschedule that meeting for later in the week?
00:16:22I'm just not in the right frame of mind right now.
00:16:25I'm sorry to hear that. Is it anything to do with you-know-who?
00:16:28My brother is just being his usual self.
00:16:31He's usually pretty hard to understand.
00:16:34I guess you can't choose your family, can you?
00:16:37Tell me about it. I also have an insufferable brother
00:16:40who doesn't look as good in those jeans.
00:16:44Oh, um, nothing.
00:16:47Could I get you a coffee or a cold drink?
00:16:50Oh, you're sweet. But no, it's alright, Cynthia.
00:16:53I think I just need to be alone with my thoughts.
00:16:56Oh, yes, alright.
00:16:59Well, I will take care of the meeting and I will get out of your hair.
00:17:02If you need anything, let me know.
00:17:14Father!
00:17:17We need to talk.
00:17:20Clearly you've forgotten your manners and how to knock on a door.
00:17:23Forgive me, Father. I just felt the matter was too urgent.
00:17:26Standing around knocking on doors felt like a waste of time.
00:17:29Right, but what is the matter and why do you smell like a sewer rat?
00:17:32I've just been working hard all day, Father.
00:17:35Working hard inside a bar?
00:17:38Look, I don't have time for this. What do you want?
00:17:41It's funny how nobody around here ever seems to have time when I'm around.
00:17:44It's like I'm some disease that you all want to keep at arm's length.
00:17:47Jonas, you're a grown man.
00:17:50Stop carrying on like a child
00:17:53and tell me what it is that you want.
00:17:56I'd like to know why do you insist on giving Emma the false hope
00:17:59that she could actually take my birthright?
00:18:02Seems pretty cruel, even by your standards.
00:18:05I'll have you know she has every opportunity to succeed in running this company
00:18:08If she lands the deal, I will honor my promise and hand over the reins.
00:18:11No.
00:18:14You can't do that.
00:18:17You can't do that!
00:18:20Oh, can't I? Just watch me.
00:18:28You can't do this.
00:18:31It's not fair. You can't do this.
00:18:34Wait.
00:18:37You're just trying to teach me a lesson, aren't you?
00:18:40To show me the error of my ways.
00:18:43Well, lesson learned.
00:18:46You didn't have to go this far.
00:18:49Jonas, come and sit down and we'll talk about this man to man.
00:19:01Castro Enterprises is a family business
00:19:04It was my grandfather's and he passed it down to my father.
00:19:07My father then passed it down to me.
00:19:10But I had to earn it.
00:19:13He didn't just give it over.
00:19:16I had to work my butt off to prove myself to him and earn his respect.
00:19:19Just like your sister has done every single day.
00:19:22But what are you doing?
00:19:25All you are doing is spending our fortune, every nickel, penny and dime.
00:19:28I mean, that was a $500,000 bill just on champagne alone.
00:19:31What are you spending that kind of money on booze for?
00:19:34Are you opening a winery?
00:19:37Jonas, I need you.
00:19:40I need you to start earning my respect and my trust.
00:19:43Not squandering our fortune.
00:19:46Father, are you okay?
00:19:49I'm fine. Worry more about your own reputation rather than my health.
00:19:52You know what, father?
00:19:55You're right. I'll do just that.
00:19:58Thank you for setting me on the right path.
00:20:01As always, I won't disappoint you.
00:20:04I promise.
00:20:22Who is it?
00:20:26You're the best. And I told you, you don't need to be so formal with me.
00:20:29Oh, yes. Sorry. I keep forgetting.
00:20:32Bring me that coffee.
00:20:35No worries, Emma.
00:20:38Oh, I forgot to ask you. How did things go with Mr. X?
00:20:41He's obviously not a serial killer.
00:20:44No, he was something worse. He's a psychopath.
00:20:47I'm sorry to hear that. So does that mean you're not going to go ahead with the project?
00:20:50Sorry, one second.
00:20:53Mr. X sends a message.
00:20:56Time's up.
00:20:59Who was it?
00:21:02Is everything okay?
00:21:05Speak of the devil.
00:21:23How do you ever expect me to sign this?
00:21:26Do you really think I'm that desperate?
00:21:29I have to be very careful.
00:21:32Even one excess drop could kill her.
00:21:40There. Done.
00:21:43Now, what were you saying, my dear?
00:21:46First of all, I am not here, dear.
00:21:49And second of all, do you really expect me to sign this?
00:21:52It's like selling myself into slavery.
00:21:55Are you listening to me? Is this a joke to you?
00:21:58I can hear you.
00:22:01And yelling is not going to help me hear you any better.
00:22:04Yes, that contract in front of you is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery.
00:22:09Because I will own you for the duration.
00:22:12But you're under no obligation to sign it.
00:22:15You could walk out of here right now and nobody would stop you.
00:22:18So, the fact of the matter remains.
00:22:21You have a decision to make.
00:22:27Fox, take it.
00:22:35Fine. I'll do it.
00:22:38Fantastic.
00:22:41I knew you had it in you.
00:22:44But can I just make one request?
00:22:47I don't know if I'll like this.
00:22:50But go on.
00:22:53The contract stipulates that I have to publicly agree to be marrying a common gardener, not Mr. X.
00:22:59Yes, I remember putting that in.
00:23:02What about it?
00:23:05Well, just if you could give me some time to convince him.
00:23:08He's stubborn, but I think I can bring him around eventually.
00:23:11This could be problematic.
00:23:14But I'll grant it.
00:23:17You have 14 days to convince your father.
00:23:20But no other requests will be granted.
00:23:26Now, shall we proceed?
00:23:36What do you get out of this anyway?
00:23:39Is it some kind of payback or revenge?
00:23:43Just a sick thrill.
00:23:46I guess we'll never know.
00:23:49Maybe one day I'll tell you.
00:24:13It's done. Are you happy now?
00:24:16Happy? This is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:24:19So don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:24:22Here, let me give you a hand with that.
00:24:25I can do it myself, thank you.
00:24:28You're just about done.
00:24:35There.
00:24:38I need to change my clothes.
00:24:41Turn around or close your eyes or something?
00:24:44I could, but I think we need to start getting comfortable with each other sooner rather than later.
00:24:47We're a happily married couple now, remember?
00:24:50It says so right on the certificate.
00:24:53But I guess...
00:24:56We don't have to get comfortable right now.
00:24:59I promise I won't stare.
00:25:06Is this the part where you forced me to sleep with you to consummate our fake marriage?
00:25:09I did not force you to do anything.
00:25:12But if I wished for you to fulfill your marital obligations,
00:25:15I would expect you to do so with a smile on your face.
00:25:21Do we have an understanding?
00:25:33Someday we are going to be together.
00:25:39If you don't have an appointment,
00:25:42please sit down and I'll be with you shortly.
00:25:45I don't think I need an appointment.
00:25:48I pretty much own the company.
00:25:51I am so sorry, Mr. Castro.
00:25:54I didn't see you walk in.
00:25:57It's okay, sweetheart.
00:26:00Have you seen my sister around?
00:26:03I've been trying to get a hold of her.
00:26:06I can write down something for you and I can get it to her.
00:26:09No, it's fine.
00:26:12I prefer to have my meetings face to face, if you know what I mean.
00:26:15Just let me know when she comes by, okay?
00:26:18Yes, of course.
00:26:21You're Emma's personal assistant, right?
00:26:26So you know a lot about the things that go on around here, right?
00:26:29I mean, I do her schedules,
00:26:32I write her meetings,
00:26:35I write her proposals while I draft them,
00:26:38and then I also run around all day making sure...
00:26:41I am so sorry, Mr. Castro.
00:26:44I kind of start blabbing and then I can't stop and then it just...
00:26:47It's okay, sweetheart.
00:26:50You know, I do have a thing for intelligent women.
00:26:53Why don't I take you on a date?
00:26:56I'll take that as a yes.
00:26:59I'll call you.
00:27:02My sister can't know about this.
00:27:26Emma! Where have you been?
00:27:30I haven't seen you in two days. Are you okay?
00:27:33You look terrible, no offense.
00:27:36Yeah, sorry. I've just had a lot going on, that's all.
00:27:39Yeah, yeah, of course. Do you care to tell me?
00:27:42Close the door.
00:27:50Alright, what I'm about to say...
00:27:53It has to stay between you and me, okay?
00:27:56It needs to be confidential.
00:27:59Sometimes I feel like you're the only one I can trust.
00:28:02So the last two days I was away,
00:28:05I got married and kind of signed my life away.
00:28:08Oh my god.
00:28:11I have so many questions.
00:28:14I bet. Let's hear them.
00:28:17Well, who did you get married to? Where did you get married?
00:28:20How?
00:28:23All I can say is I've married a gardener.
00:28:26And I even have a marriage contract to prove it.
00:28:29I'm supposed to make an announcement in two weeks' time,
00:28:32but no one can know until I've had a chance to speak with my father first.
00:28:35Yes, of course. Do you think he's going to approve?
00:28:38I don't think he is.
00:28:41Tell me about it.
00:28:44So what else happened when I was away?
00:28:47Not much. Really, just your brother came in?
00:28:50Jonas was here? Yeah.
00:28:53No, he didn't say anything to me.
00:28:59Well, out with it already.
00:29:02Did he do or say something while I was away?
00:29:05No, he pretty much just told me to let you know that he dropped by.
00:29:08That was it.
00:29:11Are you okay?
00:29:14Yeah, I'm fine. Did you want me to call him for you?
00:29:17I can let him know and maybe leave a note.
00:29:20No, it's fine. I'm seeing him tonight for a family dinner,
00:29:23so whatever he has to say to me, he can say it then.
00:29:26Okay.
00:29:50You look as ravishing as ever, little sister.
00:29:53Did you do something with your hair?
00:29:56No, it's the same as when you saw it last time.
00:29:59But you look a little less drunk than usual.
00:30:02That's an improvement.
00:30:05Darling sister, might you by any chance be implying in front of father
00:30:08that I'm an alcoholic?
00:30:11Now that wouldn't be very nice, would it?
00:30:14I'm certainly not implying you're a workaholic, that's for sure.
00:30:17Enough! Can't we just have one meal in peace, please?
00:30:20Sorry, father.
00:30:28Father,
00:30:31if I were to tell you I'm getting married,
00:30:34getting married to a man,
00:30:37how would you feel about that?
00:30:40Well, that would be wonderful news.
00:30:43The best news I've heard in a long, long time.
00:30:47Who is this mystery man?
00:30:56Well, don't get too excited.
00:30:59It's just a hypothetical question.
00:31:02You really had me going there for a second.
00:31:05I almost took you seriously.
00:31:08What dude would want to get married to boring old you?
00:31:11What did you just say to me?
00:31:14Father, did you hear what he just called me?
00:31:17Sure, go running to daddy.
00:31:20Maybe he'll tuck you in and rock you to sleep too.
00:31:23You're out of line, Jonas.
00:31:26Then why don't you put me in line, Emma?
00:31:29Or do you need daddy's help to do that too?
00:31:32No, I don't need anybody's help.
00:31:35Enough, enough!
00:31:38Seriously, why must you always beat each other's throats?
00:31:41I'm sorry about that, father.
00:31:44I'm sorry.
00:31:47Now, you were going to tell me about your hypothetical husband.
00:31:50Oh, um, yes.
00:31:53Yes, father.
00:31:56What does your hypothetical husband do?
00:31:59He's um...
00:32:02It's okay, you can tell me.
00:32:05Is he an entrepreneur, a business owner?
00:32:08Well, you see, he's um...
00:32:11A gardener.
00:32:14A what?
00:32:20He's a gardener.
00:32:29Why are we laughing, father?
00:32:32You're a joke. It was hilarious.
00:32:35It's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.
00:32:37Well, you know me. I'm always trying to make you laugh.
00:32:40Yes, and I just...
00:32:43I just wish your mother would have been here to hear it as well.
00:32:46She would have just laughed her head off.
00:32:49So, what is it you really wanted to talk to me about?
00:32:52Oh, um...
00:32:55Just that I've opened talks with the Anderson Corporation
00:32:58and they seem quite receptive.
00:33:01So I think it's only a matter of weeks before the deal is sealed.
00:33:04You know, I actually thought this was an impossible undertaking
00:33:07but you're doing it with exceptional ease.
00:33:10Clearly the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.
00:33:13Thank you, father. I learned from the best.
00:33:16Well, I would like to know
00:33:19how did you manage to pull this off?
00:33:22Well, um...
00:33:25I was able to negotiate a mutually beneficial deal
00:33:28and show them how to increase profits
00:33:31and it's smooth sailing from there.
00:33:34Very impressive.
00:33:37You are clearly going to make an outstanding CEO.
00:33:40Thank you, father.
00:33:44Cynthia, darling.
00:33:47This is Jonas. How are you?
00:33:50Yeah, I'm good.
00:33:53I was just calling to see if you were free tonight
00:33:56for that date we were talking about.
00:33:59I can pick you up after work?
00:34:02Perfect.
00:34:05Hey, I couldn't be more busy.
00:34:08I have a lot of work to do.
00:34:11Perfect.
00:34:14Hey, I could really use your help in grabbing a file from my sister's office.
00:34:17Could you be a sweetheart and do that for me?
00:34:20Wow, perfect. You're the best.
00:34:23I'll see you soon.
00:34:26Alright, bye.
00:34:29Are you alright?
00:34:32You seem a lot quieter than usual tonight.
00:34:35Why do you even care?
00:34:38I still don't understand
00:34:41the point of this marriage.
00:34:44I mean, you haven't even touched me, let alone looked at me
00:34:47since we've been sleeping in the same bed.
00:34:50We hardly ever talk.
00:34:53I don't know what you're talking about.
00:34:56We hardly ever talk.
00:34:59I mean, what is your deal?
00:35:02What is your deal?
00:35:05Touch me?
00:35:08I could have you
00:35:11anytime,
00:35:14anywhere I choose.
00:35:17I've just chosen
00:35:20not to exercise that right.
00:35:23What, because you feel you own me?
00:35:26Well, the contract says I do.
00:35:29So why have you chosen not to?
00:35:32Because I'm not that kind of person.
00:35:35What kind of person are you?
00:35:38It's like you don't even exist.
00:35:41I do exist.
00:35:44You just don't know who I am.
00:35:47The only person I've ever wanted to genuinely see the real me.
00:35:50But you were too blinded by my poverty
00:35:53to see anything else.
00:35:56And you think subjugating me will change that?
00:35:59I thought I was just doing this for revenge.
00:36:02God, you're so annoying.
00:36:05Why can't anything with you just be simple and straightforward?
00:36:08You might want to save that loud voice of yours.
00:36:11I think I've finally decided to exercise my rights.
00:36:15Don't stay away from me!
00:36:18Don't touch me or I will scream.
00:36:21Scream?
00:36:24For who? The police? Miles away?
00:36:27And what would you tell them anyway?
00:36:30That your husband wanted to touch you?
00:36:33I mean it. Don't come any closer!
00:36:36Relax.
00:36:39I don't want to hurt you.
00:36:42I just meant I want to hear what's bothering you.
00:36:45If you'll share it with me, of course.
00:36:48But now I'm supposed to believe you care about me
00:36:51after all the games you've been playing?
00:36:54I haven't given you any reason to distrust me.
00:36:57Why would I start now?
00:37:00God, I've never been so confused in my life.
00:37:03Okay, fine.
00:37:06Look, I...
00:37:09Look, I tried talking to my father
00:37:12about the idea of me marrying a gardener
00:37:15and he just laughed like it was a joke.
00:37:18I can't even imagine what his reaction would be
00:37:21if it came out in the news.
00:37:24He'd probably disown me.
00:37:27Well, I can't do anything about your father.
00:37:30But I can give you another two weeks to try to convince him.
00:37:33But the contract won't change.
00:37:36Thank you, but why would you do that?
00:37:39I have my reasons.
00:37:42Maybe someday soon, everything will make sense.
00:37:56What is taking this bitch so long?
00:37:59Got other shit to do.
00:38:06Hi.
00:38:17Hi.
00:38:25Yeah, I love you.
00:38:30Shit.
00:38:36Gotcha.
00:39:06Hey there, beautiful.
00:39:09Hey.
00:39:12Did you get it?
00:39:15Uh, yeah. Here.
00:39:23You okay? What's wrong?
00:39:26Um, yeah, I'm fine. It's just...
00:39:29You're gonna help Emma, right?
00:39:32Yeah, of course.
00:39:35You're just like my father.
00:39:38She never would have agreed to faster up front.
00:39:41Here.
00:39:44You know, there's a lot of space in the back.
00:39:47Here?
00:39:50In public?
00:39:53My sister will never know.
00:39:56Yes, yes, Mr. Rodrigo.
00:39:59Everything's in place to finalize the procurement.
00:40:02Thank you so much for your continual support.
00:40:05I...I am...
00:40:08I'm gonna have to call you back.
00:40:11Breaking news. Top executive Mary McDarden labeled us.
00:40:14The business world is stunned by the rumors
00:40:17that the chief operating officer of Castro Enterprises,
00:40:20one of the largest pharmaceutical conglomerates,
00:40:24is tying the knot with an ordinary working-class man.
00:40:27Mr. Castro, you have your reports.
00:40:30Shortly after it was announced that she was on the verge
00:40:33of sealing the company's largest contract in her company's history,
00:40:36many questioned her judgment
00:40:39and the impact this union would have on her family name.
00:40:42And in other news...
00:40:45I trusted you. This is how you repay me?
00:40:48It wasn't me. I swear. You've got to believe me.
00:40:51You're the only one I told. How did the media get wind of it?
00:40:54Emma, I would never betray you. You've got to believe me.
00:40:57If you didn't leak the information, then who did?
00:41:00I don't know. I wish I knew.
00:41:12You bastard! How could you? How could you do this to me?
00:41:17Emma, you're home early. Is everything alright?
00:41:20No, everything is not alright. How could you do this to me
00:41:23after you gave me your word? You betrayed me.
00:41:26I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:41:29But I'll be with you in just a sec.
00:41:32I have to finish up here.
00:41:35No one cares about your stupid plans, Jeff.
00:41:38Just tell me why you did it. Tell me!
00:41:41You should not have done that.
00:41:44You really should not have done that.
00:41:47What are you going to do?
00:41:50Leak more stuff to the press?
00:41:53I see you already have a pretty good head start on that.
00:41:56What are you talking about? None of this makes sense.
00:41:59Leak what to the press?
00:42:02Oh, you don't know. Let me refresh your memory.
00:42:05This is unexpected.
00:42:08But I assure you, I had nothing to do with this.
00:42:11You fucking liar! It has your fingerprints all over it!
00:42:14You're betraying your trust.
00:42:17What would you have to gain?
00:42:20I don't know, Jeff. I don't know why you do anything you do.
00:42:23You have completely ruined my life.
00:42:26Emma, I...
00:42:34Hello, Father?
00:42:44What am I going to do?
00:42:47What the fuck am I going to do?
00:42:50This is a complete disaster!
00:42:53How about you just calm down?
00:42:56Take a few deep breaths.
00:42:59It might not be as bad as you make it out to be.
00:43:02Might not be as bad? Are you fucking kidding me?
00:43:05What am I going to say to my father?
00:43:08Yeah, this looks grim, but I had nothing to do with this.
00:43:11How about instead of throwing accusations around,
00:43:14I just call the station and ask them who gave them the information?
00:43:17Even if you could do that, they would never tell you.
00:43:20Give me a sec.
00:43:23Who the hell are you texting?
00:43:26My accountants, so they can buy the new station and get me the information.
00:43:29You're bluffing. And even if you could do that, that would take forever to arrange.
00:43:32You'd be surprised how quickly you can get things done when you're misdirected.
00:43:35This is a waste of my time.
00:43:39I just have to face my father and talk to him once and for all.
00:43:42Thanks for nothing.
00:43:45Done.
00:43:48Jonas Castro.
00:43:51I believe that's your brother, isn't it?
00:43:58Well, if it isn't the latest bride-to-be.
00:44:01I gotta be honest, I didn't see it coming.
00:44:04But the media seems to love it.
00:44:07To be fair, I was surprised as well.
00:44:10I thought you would have had better taste.
00:44:13But I guess you gotta lower your standards when you've been single for so long.
00:44:16Well, thanks for your concern about my love life.
00:44:19Why don't you mind your own business and butt out?
00:44:22Well, little sister, it became my business
00:44:25when you decided to embarrass the family name and drag us all through the month.
00:44:28That's rich. Coming from the guy who's depraved lifestyle
00:44:31gets him in the media every weekend.
00:44:34What can I say? I'm the life of the party.
00:44:37You seem confident, like you think you have me beat.
00:44:40But I'm the one who's about to close the biggest deal in the company's history.
00:44:43You know our father better than anyone.
00:44:46He would never condone any of this.
00:44:49Plus, you're not the only one that can cut big deals for the company.
00:44:52Oh, you think you can cut a deal?
00:44:55You don't even know your way around the office.
00:44:58You'll soon find out I'm a man of many talents.
00:45:01Good luck.
00:45:04You'll need it.
00:45:07Father?
00:45:10Tell me it isn't true.
00:45:13Tell me this is just another media stunt
00:45:16designed to ruin this family's reputation.
00:45:19Father, I'm sorry. What the media is saying is true.
00:45:22I never meant for you to find out like this.
00:45:25Em, of all the men in the world, you choose a mere commoner, a gardener?
00:45:28Have you no self-respect? Have you no respect for this family?
00:45:31I know it doesn't make sense, but please, I need you to trust me.
00:45:34Trust you?
00:45:37You're actively bringing shame to this family and you expect me to trust you?
00:45:40Father, please.
00:45:43Who is this man? What is he doing to manipulate you like this?
00:45:46Are you being blackmailed? Are you pregnant?
00:45:49Once I seal the deal with the Anderson Corporation, I promise you it'll all make sense.
00:45:52I'm afraid that will no longer be necessary.
00:45:55What? What do you mean?
00:45:58While you were busy gardening, your brother came to me with a proposal
00:46:01that I could not refuse.
00:46:04A proposal?
00:46:07Open it.
00:46:10This is my client's!
00:46:16Not anymore.
00:46:25But, father, that's not fair. This is my client!
00:46:28Not anymore. It doesn't matter how Jonas got the account, it is his now.
00:46:31Emmeline, you no longer need to worry about the Anderson Corporation account.
00:46:34No, please, don't stop me now when I'm so close to the end.
00:46:37My decision is made.
00:46:40Jonas will now be the successor of Castro Enterprises.
00:46:43Oh, father, please, please, I'm begging you, don't do this to me, please.
00:46:46All right.
00:46:49I will give you one more chance, on one condition.
00:46:52Of course, of course, anything.
00:46:55I want to meet this gardener of yours.
00:46:58I want to know who it is that has stolen my daughter's heart.
00:47:01You can't do this, father. You simply just can't.
00:47:04She would disgrace the family name and you would condone it?
00:47:07Jonas, how dare you speak to me like that? Have you lost your mind?
00:47:10No, father, I've lost my patience.
00:47:13I am your son. I am your heir.
00:47:16It is my birthright to be your successor!
00:47:20Jonas, how dare you speak to me like this?
00:47:23I will decide who will and who will not run this company.
00:47:26Father? Father, are you okay?
00:47:29Father, no! Father!
00:47:37Oh, Em, with that sad look off your face,
00:47:40it's going to take a lot more than this to bring me down.
00:47:43Father, that's not funny. You shouldn't be speaking. You should be resting.
00:47:46And what, you're going to start treating me like a vagabond?
00:47:49You're going to start treating me like a vegetable now?
00:47:52The doctor said all I need to do is take those tablets
00:47:55and I'll be as right as rain.
00:47:58Oh, darling, you're looking more and more like your mother.
00:48:01She would have been so proud of you
00:48:04and the woman you've become, just as I am.
00:48:07Where's your brother?
00:48:10Right here, old man.
00:48:13Glad to see you're still kicking.
00:48:16For a moment there, I thought you...
00:48:19Don't you fucking dare. You did this to him.
00:48:22So it's my fault he's lying in bed like this? I'm the one that put him in this state?
00:48:25Please, stop this bickering. I really can't cope with it anymore.
00:48:28Sorry, Father.
00:48:31Look, since I am temporarily unable
00:48:34to fulfill my role as the head of Castro Enterprises,
00:48:37I will need to appoint a temporary CEO.
00:48:40And Jonas, despite everything you have done,
00:48:43you have proven yourself a worthy candidate,
00:48:46so I will appoint you as CEO temporarily.
00:48:49What? No!
00:48:52Em, this is not a permanent position.
00:48:55I will not make my final decision until I have met your man
00:48:58and seen the contract.
00:49:10Jonas.
00:49:28Jonas, what are you doing here?
00:49:31Hello, Father.
00:49:34Are you feeling well-rested? Do you feel any better?
00:49:37No, not really. About the same.
00:49:40But, uh,
00:49:43why the sudden interest in my well-being?
00:49:46It's a little out of character for you.
00:49:49That's hurtful, Father. Your health is of top priority to me.
00:49:52I noticed your pills were running low,
00:49:55so I decided to refill them for you.
00:49:58Would you like to have a look?
00:50:01No, just give them to me, please.
00:50:11Well, I should be getting out of your hair.
00:50:14Get well soon, Pops.
00:50:27Well, hey! Watch where you're going!
00:50:30Sorry, Sister. I didn't see you there.
00:50:34I wasn't minded.
00:50:37You're being too nice. What are you up to?
00:50:40What do you mean, what am I up to?
00:50:43I just apologized for almost pushing you over.
00:50:46What are you doing in Father's room?
00:50:49Now I can't check up on my own father?
00:50:52What do you people take me for around here?
00:50:55Jonas?
00:50:58What are you doing here, and why are you in my seat?
00:51:01Ooh, didn't you hear?
00:51:04I'm in charge now, so technically, this is my seat.
00:51:07Do you actually need something,
00:51:10or did you just come here to gloat?
00:51:13Emma, Emma.
00:51:16You always like to get straight down to business, don't you?
00:51:19Well, let's get to it.
00:51:22You are obligated to report all findings and dealings to the company head,
00:51:25yet after looking through all your files,
00:51:28I can't seem to find anything on the Anderson Corporation.
00:51:31Why is that?
00:51:34Why do you want the details of the deal?
00:51:37So you can steal my client again, like you did last time?
00:51:40Come on, Emma. Don't be petty.
00:51:43I finalized a contract that was sitting on your desk for weeks.
00:51:46It's all in the company's best interest.
00:51:49Company's best interest? Or your best interest, Jonas?
00:51:52Well, I am currently the chief executive officer,
00:51:55so my interest is the company's best interest.
00:51:58Of course,
00:52:01you never did tell me how you got the details of the contract in the first place.
00:52:04I never pegged you as someone who was scurrying around like a rat.
00:52:07I don't scurry.
00:52:10I have people for that.
00:52:13It's the mark of a true leader.
00:52:16Did you really learn a thing or two from me, Emma?
00:52:19I knew it. I knew you had someone on the inside.
00:52:22Wait.
00:52:25That means that someone's...
00:52:28That fucking bitch!
00:52:40Emma, good. It's Ms. Castro to you.
00:52:43Yes, I have something to tell you that...
00:52:46Meaning to tell me what, exactly? That you're a liar?
00:52:49A backstabber that you've been conniving with my brother behind my back?
00:52:52What exactly were you meaning to tell me?
00:52:55Emma, I know it looks bad, but I never lied about any...
00:52:58Don't lie to me.
00:53:01Have some dignity. I trusted you and you betrayed me.
00:53:06I hardly think this is appropriate workplace behavior, little sister.
00:53:09I could have you sanctioned for assaulting my personal assistant.
00:53:13Your personal assistant.
00:53:16So that's what this is. You sold me out.
00:53:19Cynthia, darling, wait for me in my office.
00:53:22I'll be with you shortly.
00:53:25Emma, it wasn't meant to be like this.
00:53:28I'm sorry.
00:53:39As CEO, I'm responsible for the well-being of all my employees.
00:53:42I'm sure you understand.
00:53:45Interim CEO.
00:53:48Let's see how long you can hold on to that position once father recovers, sweet brother.
00:53:55Oh, Emma.
00:53:58I plan to hold on to this position for a very, very long time.
00:54:01Hey.
00:54:04I really wanted to apologize
00:54:07for the way I treated you
00:54:10and that I doubted you.
00:54:13And I shouldn't have broken your plan.
00:54:16That was a stupid thing to do.
00:54:19I never thought I'd see the day that Emmaline Castro would apologize.
00:54:22Well, don't get used to it.
00:54:25It's not going to happen again.
00:54:28Actually, scratch that.
00:54:31I think...
00:54:34I think it will happen more often.
00:54:37I know I haven't been the best fake wife to you,
00:54:40but you've been good to me.
00:54:43And you've been kind and patient
00:54:46and you didn't try and force yourself on me when you could have.
00:54:49Emma, you don't have to...
00:54:52No, please, just let me finish, okay?
00:54:55It's really hard for me to say,
00:54:58but I also want to apologize for how I've treated you in the past.
00:55:01I've been self-centered and egocentric
00:55:04and I'm sorry.
00:55:07It's okay, Emma.
00:55:10And just so you know, this isn't about revenge.
00:55:13What is it about?
00:55:16I mean, what do you stand to gain from this contract?
00:55:19I can't tell you. Not yet.
00:55:22Can you show me what you're painting?
00:55:25I never knew you were an artist.
00:55:28There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:55:31I bet. So, can I see it?
00:55:34Wanna come see?
00:55:37But...
00:55:40But why?
00:55:47It's beautiful,
00:55:51Why would you paint a picture of me?
00:55:54I don't recall it being a crime to paint a picture
00:55:57of a beautiful and fascinating woman.
00:56:00Well, maybe I can see it when it's finished.
00:56:03Maybe.
00:56:06We'll see.
00:56:09Emma,
00:56:12I know you just didn't come all this way
00:56:15to apologize.
00:56:18And I know that look on your face.
00:56:21What's going on?
00:56:24So now you can read my emotions and know when something's wrong?
00:56:27I think I've always been able to do that with you.
00:56:30You pat your lips every time you're worried.
00:56:33I also know
00:56:36that your father's fallen ill
00:56:39and that your brother's taken control of the company.
00:56:42How do you know that? That hasn't even gone public yet.
00:56:45And I always keep a close eye on my assets.
00:56:48The question is, what are you going to do?
00:56:53At this stage, I don't know.
00:56:56My father said the only way he'd even entertain
00:56:59the idea of me getting married to a gardener
00:57:02is if he met the man first, but
00:57:05I know the contract I signed says that I can't do that,
00:57:08so I guess you could say I'm out of options.
00:57:15That is a precarious situation
00:57:18and it would void the contract.
00:57:21But I'll do it.
00:57:24What?
00:57:27What did you just say?
00:57:30I said I'll do it. I'll go with you to see your father.
00:57:33But why would you do that? That doesn't make any sense.
00:57:36All I can say is that in this respect,
00:57:39our goals are aligned.
00:57:42What goals are you talking about, Jeff?
00:57:45Don't worry about that now. Everything will make sense soon.
00:57:54We can go right now if you'd like.
00:57:57I'll grab my coat.
00:58:05Cynthia, darling. Why the long face?
00:58:08We should be celebrating my victory, not sulking.
00:58:11Your sister hates me because she thinks I betrayed her.
00:58:14And rightfully so.
00:58:17I didn't realize you were going to use that information against her,
00:58:20and if I did, I wouldn't have helped you.
00:58:23All you care about is yourself.
00:58:26I think you've been well compensated for your efforts.
00:58:29A salary bump, a triple promotion.
00:58:32I'd expect you to be more grateful.
00:58:35I'm sorry, I'm grateful, but what's going to happen when your dad wakes up?
00:58:38Who says my father's going to recover?
00:58:47What do you mean by that?
00:58:50Everyone keeps going on and on about how my father's going to recover
00:58:53and all the things that will happen, but my father has a very serious illness
00:58:56and he might not recover, and that's just a fact.
00:58:59How could you say that about your own father?
00:59:02I don't think I've said anything out of place.
00:59:05My father is very sick and he might be in bed for a very long time.
00:59:08And I'm sure that would definitely suit your agenda, wouldn't it?
00:59:11Are you accusing me of something?
00:59:14No, Jonah, I'm not accusing you of anything. I just think I chose the wrong side.
00:59:17And what side is that?
00:59:20Look, you're not the man that I thought you were.
00:59:23I heard stories, but I didn't think they were true, but clearly they are.
00:59:29And what stories are those?
00:59:33Tell me the tales of Jonas Castro.
00:59:36Jonas Castro? Well, Jonas Castro loves himself.
00:59:39He's an alcoholic. He's a womanizer.
00:59:42He's just pure evil.
00:59:45That's who Jonas Castro is.
00:59:50Look, I can't do this.
00:59:53I'm leaving.
00:59:56Where the fuck do you think you're going?
00:59:59Seems you've forgotten your place.
01:00:02Maybe it's time I reminded you.
01:00:05Please, let go.
01:00:08Jonas.
01:00:11You really think you can say whatever the fuck you want and get away with it?
01:00:14Look, I think you're drunk and I think you just need to get off me, please.
01:00:17Let me remind you, you were just a pawn in all of this.
01:00:20Before I came into your life, you were nothing.
01:00:23Please, I'm sorry.
01:00:26I'll forget about it and we can go.
01:00:29I think I need to teach you a lesson.
01:00:32And you'll never forget.
01:00:38You seem pretty confident.
01:00:41I guess you've done a lot of stuff like this before.
01:00:44Not really. Any advice on approaching your father?
01:00:47Well, he already doesn't like you.
01:00:50So I guess just be yourself.
01:00:53Let's get this over with.
01:00:56I'm here.
01:00:59You're not alone. I'm with my fiancé.
01:01:02That's you.
01:01:05Wait, you two know each other?
01:01:08Your father and I have met.
01:01:11It was a long time ago. I'm surprised he remembers.
01:01:14I never forget a face. Especially one as unique as yours.
01:01:19Wait, hang on. This doesn't make any sense.
01:01:22Someone needs to give me some answers.
01:01:25He wrote to me a few years ago,
01:01:28asking for a private meeting
01:01:31to discuss a very important proposal.
01:01:55Answer!
01:02:00You're the man I spoke with on the phone?
01:02:03Yes, sir.
01:02:06It's not every day I have a meeting with a total stranger.
01:02:09But you said you had an interesting business proposal.
01:02:12So what is it?
01:02:15Of course, sir. I understand perfectly.
01:02:18But I said I had an interesting proposal for you.
01:02:21It may not be exactly considered a business proposal.
01:02:24Young man, I don't have time for your silly little word games.
01:02:27So you have five minutes to tell me what the proposal is,
01:02:30or I will have you thrown out.
01:02:33Right down to business.
01:02:36I would like to ask for your daughter, Emma's...
01:02:39...hand in marriage.
01:02:47I'm sorry. I think my hearing must be playing tricks on me.
01:02:50Could you repeat that for me, please?
01:02:54I said I would like...
01:02:57...your daughter's hand in marriage.
01:03:00So it seems like my hearing is fine.
01:03:03No, sir. I believe your hearing is still top-notch.
01:03:06So what makes you think I would go for such a ludicrous idea?
01:03:09Well, I didn't think you'd have a problem with it,
01:03:12since I am the heir to my family's billion-dollar fortune.
01:03:15Is that supposed to impress me?
01:03:18Anyone can claim to be anything these days.
01:03:21That's my family's name, our net worth.
01:03:24We operate several business enterprises,
01:03:27as well as doing philanthropic work.
01:03:30So?
01:03:33A union between your daughter and I would strengthen both our families,
01:03:36galvanizing our position in high society, making us a formidable force.
01:03:39I didn't think you'd have a problem with it.
01:03:42Well, I see you've done your research.
01:03:45But even if I were to give this union my blessing,
01:03:48I don't think you'd be able to convince a woman from a line to marry someone
01:03:51that she didn't choose herself.
01:03:54Well, I believe that's where I come in.
01:03:57How so?
01:04:00So, how exactly do you plan on wooing my daughter?
01:04:03Well, in all honesty, sir,
01:04:06it's not a very good plan,
01:04:09but it's one that sets my heart at ease.
01:04:12What exactly are you talking about?
01:04:15They always seem to be after me for access to my money.
01:04:18I'm so sick of it.
01:04:21So I intend to disguise myself as a nobody.
01:04:24Are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money,
01:04:27like some pathetic little gold digger?
01:04:30No, no, sir.
01:04:33I just want Emma to get to know me for me, that's all.
01:04:36This is a ridiculous plan. It'll never work.
01:04:39I know. But I'm still willing to try.
01:04:42And if it goes south, no harm done.
01:04:45So what exactly do you want from me?
01:04:48Well, I was hoping you could put in a good word for me.
01:04:51But Emma can't know that you know who I am.
01:04:54Maybe you could say that I'm the son of an old friend.
01:04:57This is a ridiculous plan. I think you just need to leave.
01:05:00It's no secret that you yearn for your daughter
01:05:03to get married to someone worthy from high society.
01:05:06Please just consider the plan.
01:05:09Act.
01:05:14Thank you for your time.
01:05:17If you reconsider, please give me a call.
01:05:22How arrogant.
01:05:25Reminds me of my younger self.
01:05:33Wait, so hang on. What you're trying to tell me is...
01:05:37I've never been poor a day in my life.
01:05:40I just wanted you to see the real me.
01:05:43That's what I was trying to tell you that day in the restaurant.
01:05:46But you wouldn't hear me out.
01:05:49So you just created a fake marriage? A contract marriage?
01:05:52And why not move on to someone else?
01:05:55Contract marriage?
01:05:58But what if I hadn't signed it? What was going to be your next scheme?
01:06:01I told you. You're the only person that I ever wanted to see me for who I was.
01:06:04And it wasn't a sham contract.
01:06:07I would have kept my end of the bargain at the end of the three months.
01:06:10What if I hadn't signed it?
01:06:13What would have your next scheme been?
01:06:16There was no next scheme because I knew you would sign it.
01:06:19How did you know that?
01:06:22Because I know you, Emma.
01:06:25You're willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want.
01:06:28Just like I am.
01:06:31I really don't know what's going on here.
01:06:34But, Em, if you're willing to accept his marriage proposal,
01:06:37you can have the company.
01:06:43No, Father. There's no marriage proposal.
01:06:46Just a web of lies and deceit and this sick man's games.
01:06:51There is now.
01:06:54Emma, you're the only one I've ever wanted.
01:06:57The only one I love.
01:07:00I'm sorry I had to pretend to be someone I wasn't.
01:07:04But, if you are willing to make an honest man out of me,
01:07:07I promise no more games or half-truths.
01:07:11Emma, will you marry me?
01:07:21Will you marry me?
01:07:24Jeff, you're a very curious human being.
01:07:27But you have been very kind and caring to me
01:07:30over the last few months.
01:07:33Even though I've been a total bitch.
01:07:36I hate to admit it, but I have grown fond of you.
01:07:39So is that a yes?
01:07:42Well, we've already been married for two months.
01:07:45Might as well give it a real shot.
01:07:48Yes!
01:07:51Oh.
01:07:54Oh, looks like I missed the family reunion.
01:07:57Guess my invitation got lost in the mail.
01:08:00No, Jonas. You're just in the nick of time.
01:08:03Your sister is getting married.
01:08:06Oh, that's wonderful news.
01:08:09I'm not finished.
01:08:12It is also my final decision that she takes over as CEO of Castro Enterprises
01:08:15and that you step down effective immediately.
01:08:19Like hell I will. I'm your son!
01:08:22No son of mine would swap out my medication for a placebo
01:08:25so that I would die faster.
01:08:28Yeah, I knew about that.
01:08:31I might be sick, but I am not senile.
01:08:34I didn't want it to come to this.
01:08:37I don't love someone. You are the choice.
01:08:40What are you doing?
01:08:43I'm doing what I should have done a long time ago, little sister.
01:08:46Please, that's our father. Just think about what you're doing. Put it down.
01:08:57Step out of the way, Emma.
01:09:00I'm not going to tell you again.
01:09:03No, please. Think about what you're doing. This is our father. Put it down.
01:09:06What the fuck do you think you're doing, Emma? Get out of the way.
01:09:09It's okay, Emma. I'll handle this.
01:09:12No, please let me talk to him.
01:09:15This is a disgraceful excuse for a man that I'm ashamed to call my son.
01:09:18Your mother was right about you.
01:09:21If you refuse to get out of the way, Emma,
01:09:24then you can go to the grave with him.
01:09:27No, no, no.
01:09:30Father, no.
01:09:33No, father.
01:09:36Father, please, no.
01:09:39Please, call an ambulance.
01:09:42It's too late, Emma.
01:09:45Father, please.
01:09:48Emma, don't worry. It's fine.
01:09:51Know that I'm so proud of you.
01:09:54And your mother would have been so proud of you, too.
01:09:57I'll send her your love.
01:10:00Father, no.
01:10:12Emma.
01:10:15Emma.
01:10:18Emma.
01:10:21Emma.
01:10:24Emma.
01:10:27Emma.
01:10:30Emma.
01:10:33Emma.
01:10:36Emma.
