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

01:10:02No, no.
