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