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 a whole company.
00:00:30All 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.
00:01:51Thank 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.
00:02:41Yes, who is it?
00:02:43Yes, Cynthia, what do you want?
00:02:45I've got mail from the Anderson Corporation. I think they finally responded.
00:02:49What did they say?
00:02:50Oh, I don't know. It's sealed.
00:02:52Don't just stand there. Read it to me.
00:03:01Oh my God.
00:03:03This is from Mr. X himself.
00:03:05He'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 will be necessary.
00:03:17Why not?
00:03:18Because I'm not going.
00:03:27What do you mean you're not going?
00:03:29This is the big break you've been waiting for.
00:03:31I know. I know, but...
00:03:33Doesn't something about this seem off to you?
00:03:36Off? What do you mean off?
00:03:39You've sent out a million proposals, and now suddenly we get a response from Mr. X himself?
00:03:45I guess so, Miss Castro, but what do you have to lose?
00:03:48Honestly, you've been waiting for this.
00:03:51Might as well.
00:04:09Hey, you! Gardner!
00:04:12I'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.
00:05:09Hello.
00:05:23Hello, 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.
00:05:34I don't think your boss would be too happy with you wearing his clothes and sitting on his expensive couch.
00:05:41You still don't remember me, do you?
00:05:44Remember you?
00:05:56No way. You're Jeff?
00:05:58In the flesh.
00:06:01You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:06:03You haven't answered my question. What's going on here?
00:06:06Well, you arranged a meeting with Mr. X, so here we are.
00:06:10I imagine this is all a little much for you to take in.
00:06:16This doesn't make any sense.
00:06:19I just saw you outside pruning plants, and now you're giving me a glass of whiskey?
00:06:26Is this a prank? Are there cameras?
00:06:29Cameras? I 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?
00:06:55Bullshit. You're lying. Will you just admit it and stop playing games?
00:06:59You don't have to believe me. I'm not trying to convince you.
00:07:02The door's still open. You'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. Are you sure you can manage such resources?
00:07:28But I have a detailed project plan, and I-
00:07:33I've looked at your plan. And I've had my team go through it as well.
00:07:37The 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 thirty times in the past ten years for this reason alone.
00:07:49Well, what 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.
00:07:58So that begs the question, what am I really doing here?
00:08:03Oh, Emma. You're always as intelligent as you are beautiful.
00:08:08Don't patronize me.
00:08:10All right. I won't waste your time.
00:08:13I brought you here to make you an offer. One that could help you secure what you came for.
00:08:19What offer?
00:08:25Help me secure what I came for. You mean the contract.
00:08:29Did you come for something else?
00:08:31No. I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
00:08:35So what's the offer?
00:08:38Take it. Open it.
00:08:44What is this supposed to be?
00:08:47Oh, Emma. I'm sure you can read what's on the paper.
00:08:49This is a marriage contract. Between you and me.
00:08:55Contractual 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.
00:09:19I 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?
00:09:36So, 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.
00:09:56How 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.
00:10:06So you've been spying on me. 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.
00:10:15It'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.
00:10:44I 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 could 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.
00:11:44Goddammit. This ass almost had to be out of his goddamn mind.
00:11:48He wants to turn me into a slave, and for what?
00:11:52Are you hiding something from me, baby sister?
00:11:55Hiding? I don't need to hide anything from you.
00:11:57You're always too intoxicated to see clearly anyway.
00:12:01Oh, 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.
00:12:09I mean, he gives you everything on a gulp platter, and you just take it for granted.
00:12:13You think you have everything figured out, don't you?
00:12:16When 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.
00:12:25I have a lot to get done today.
00:12:27What? I can't just come check up on my little sister?
00:12:30You 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.
00:12:45This is a nice office you have here.
00:12:48But, uh, remind me to give you a raise when I finally take over.
00:12:52Now, can you please tell me why you're here?
00:12:54Get down to business, you mean?
00:12:57Well, I'd like you to tell father that you're no longer interested in the position of CEO,
00:13:02and 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?
00:13:15Maybe 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. I don't have time for your games.
00:13:27Or 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. Politics 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.
00:13:48You've always had a hard time listening to simple instructions, haven't you?
00:13:52See, here's what bothers me. Why do you even want it, anyway?
00:13:58I mean, you barely have enough time for yourself, let alone running the day-to-day operations of a huge company like this.
00:14:04And even if I'm CEO, you'll still have plenty of money to fund your extravagant lifestyle.
00:14:09So why do you want it?
00:14:11You know what? You're right. I don't have time to manage any of this.
00:14:15Which is why I want to make you second-in-command.
00:14:18You'll get to manage all the day-to-day operations and make the big decisions.
00:14:22You'll basically be the one in charge, and I'll just be the pretty face of the company. How does that sound to you?
00:14:28You're out of your mind, Jonas.
00:14:33So, let me get this straight. You want me to do all the work around here?
00:14:38And you just get to take the credit?
00:14:40Would that be too much to ask of my little sister?
00:14:43I don't know what delusional world you're living in, but you need to wake up, because that's never going to happen, Jonas.
00:14:49Let me ask you this. How do you envision this will end?
00:14:54You think I'd stand idly by while you take my fucking birthright?
00:14:58Well, when last I checked, we both had the same last name.
00:15:01I don't remember when that right was conferred to you.
00:15:04You think Father will entertain this sick fantasy of yours?
00:15:07Just like when you were kids, he wants to just see you get tired out before he comes to console you.
00:15:12I'm just trying to save you from all that stress.
00:15:15Again, thank you for your concern, brother. It's deeply appreciated.
00:15:19But I'll have to pass on your offer.
00:15:22Fine.
00:15:24If you won't heed the voice of reason, so be it.
00:15:27But don't come crying to me when things get ugly.
00:15:30Dare I ask, is that a threat I detect, brother?
00:15:33It's not a very nice way to talk to your little sister, is it?
00:15:36You know, you're lucky I-
00:15:38Emma, you asked me to remind you of, um...
00:15:41Sorry, I didn't realize you were-
00:15:43It's alright, Cynthia. My brother here was just leaving.
00:15:47This is an over, little sister. I'll be back.
00:16:01Ahem.
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.
00:16:20Um, 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's just being his usual self. He's usually pretty hard to understand.
00:16:33Guess 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.
00:16:55Oh, 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!
00:17:17We 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. 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.
00:17:45It'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?
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.
00:18:10If 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!
00:18:21Oh, can't I? Just watch me.
00:18:29You can't do this! It's not fair! You can't do this!
00:18:36Wave, 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.
00:19:01Castro 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. But 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? All 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? Are 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.
00:19:51You know what, father? You're right. I'll do just that.
00:19:57Thank you for setting me on the right path. As always, I won't disappoint you.
00:20:04I promise.
00:20:22Who is it?
00:20:23Miss Castor, I have your 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.
00:20:33No worries, Emma.
00:20:36Oh, I forgot to ask you. How did things go with Mr. X? He's obviously not the serial killer.
00:20:42No, 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.
00:21:00Who was it? Is everything okay?
00:21:03Speak of the devil.
00:21:22How do you ever expect me to sign this? Do you really think I'm that desperate?
00:21:30I have to be very careful.
00:21:34Even one excess drop could kill her.
00:21:41There. Done.
00:21:45Now what were you saying, my dear?
00:21:47First of all, I am not your dear. And second of all, do you really expect me to sign this? It's like selling myself into slavery.
00:21:55Are 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.
00:22:12But 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. You have a decision to make.
00:22:28Fox, 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? 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.
00:23:01Yes, I remember putting that in. What about it?
00:23:04Well, just if you could give me some time to convince him. He'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. But no other requests will be granted.
00:23:25Now, shall we proceed?
00:23:37What do you get out of this anyway? Is 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.
00:23:57It'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. But I guess.
00:24:55We don't have to get comfortable right now. I promise I won't stare.
00:25:05Is this the part where you force me to sleep with you to consummate our fake marriage?
00:25:09I 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?
00:25:25Yes.
00:25:34Someday we are going to be together.
00:25:46If you don't have an appointment, please sit down and I'll be with you shortly.
00:25:50I don't think I need an appointment. I pretty much own the company.
00:25:55I am so sorry, Mr. Castro. I didn't see you walk in.
00:25:59It's okay, sweetheart. Have you seen my sister around? I've been trying to get a hold of her.
00:26:04No, 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.
00:26:15Just 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?
00:26:29I 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...
00:26:47It's okay, sweetheart. You know I do have a thing for intelligent women.
00:26:51Why don't I take you on a date?
00:26:55I'll take that as a yes. I'll call you.
00:26:58And remember, my sister can't know about this.
00:27:22Emma!
00:27:23Where have you been? I haven't seen you in two days. Are you okay?
00:27:27You look terrible, no offense.
00:27:29Yeah, sorry. I just had a lot going on, that's all.
00:27:32Yeah, yeah, of course. Do you care to tell me?
00:27:36Right. Close the door.
00:27:38Yeah, of course.
00:27:45All right.
00:27:47All right. What I'm about to say, it has to stay between you and me, okay? It needs to be confidential.
00:27:53Yes, yes, of course. You can trust me.
00:27:55I know. Sometimes I feel like you're the only one I can trust.
00:27:59So, 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.
00:28:09I bet. Let's hear them.
00:28:11Well, who did we get married to?
00:28:14Well, who did we get married to? Where did you get married? How?
00:28:22All I can say is I've married a gardener. And I even have a marriage contract to prove it.
00:28:28I'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?
00:28:49Yeah.
00:28:50He's always up to something. Did he say something to you?
00:28:53No, 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...
00:29:20No, 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.
00:29:28Okay.
00:29:43You look as ravishing as ever, little sister. Did you do something with your hair?
00:29:48No, it's the same as when you saw it last time. But you look a little less drunk than usual. That's an improvement.
00:29:56Darling sister, might you by any chance be...
00:29:58Don't.
00:29:59Don't.
00:30:00Don't.
00:30:01Don't.
00:30:02Don't.
00:30:03Don't.
00:30:04Don't.
00:30:05Don't.
00:30:06Don't.
00:30:07Don't.
00:30:08Don't.
00:30:09Don't.
00:30:10Don't.
00:30:11Don't 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?
00:30:25Sorry, 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?
00:30:41Well, that would be wonderful news. The best news I've heard in a long, long time. So, who is this mystery man?
00:30:56Well, don't get too excited. It's just a hypothetical question.
00:31:04You really had me going there for a second. I almost took you seriously. What dude would want to get married to boring old you?
00:31:12What did you just say to me? Father, did you hear what he just called me?
00:31:16Sure, 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.
00:31:28Enough! Enough! Seriously, why must you always beat each other's throats? Emmaline, put the knife away.
00:31:34Jonas, 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 or a business owner?
00:32:06Uh, no. Well, you see, he's, um, a gardener.
00:32:13A what?
00:32:16He's a gardener.
00:32:27Why are we laughing, father?
00:32:30Your joke. It was hilarious. It's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.
00:32:34Oh, well, you know me. I'm always trying to make you laugh.
00:32:38Yes, and I just wish your mother would have been here to hear it as well.
00:32:44She 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.
00:33:13Thank 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. You are clearly going to make an outstanding CEO.
00:33:38Thank you, father.
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.
00:34:08I 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.
00:34:17Could 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.
00:34:39Are 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.
00:34:52I 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?
00:35:08Touch me.
00:35:12I could have you anytime, anywhere I choose.
00:35:20I've just chosen not to exercise that right.
00:35:24What, because 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.
00:35:51But 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.
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.
00:37:08Okay, fine.
00:37:10Look, I tried talking to my father about the idea of me marrying a gardener,
00:37:16and 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.
00:37:23He'd probably disown me.
00:37:26Well, I can't do anything about your father.
00:37:30But I can give you another two weeks to try to convince him.
00:37:33But the contract won't change.
00:37:36Thank you, but why would you do that?
00:37:39I have my reasons.
00:37:42Maybe someday soon, everything will make sense.
00:37:56What is taking this bitch so long?
00:37:59Got other shit to do.
00:38:25May I have a word with you?
00:38:47Gotcha.
00:38:56Hey there, beautiful.
00:38:58Hey.
00:39:00Did you get it?
00:39:02Uh, yeah. Here.
00:39:11You okay? What's wrong?
00:39:14I don't know.
00:39:16I don't know.
00:39:18I don't know.
00:39:20I don't know.
00:39:23You okay? What's wrong?
00:39:25Um, yeah, I'm fine. It's just...
00:39:29You're gonna help Emma, right?
00:39:31Yeah, of course.
00:39:33You know how my sister is. Strong-headed, just like my father.
00:39:36She never would have agreed to faster up front.
00:39:43You know, there's a lot of space in the back.
00:39:49Here? In public?
00:39:51My sister will never know.
00:40:02Yes, yes, Mr. Rodrigo.
00:40:04Everything's in place to finalize the procurement.
00:40:06Thank you so much for your continual support.
00:40:08I... I am... I'm gonna have to call you back.
00:40:13Breaking news. Top executive Mary McDarden labeled us.
00:40:17The business world is stunned by the rumors
00:40:19that 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. Stradivarius...
00:40:31Shortly after it was announced that she was on the verge
00:40:33of sealing the company's largest contract in her company's history,
00:40:37many questioned her judgment
00:40:39and the impact this union would have on her family name.
00:40:43And 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.
00:40:52How did the media get wind of it?
00:40:53Emma, I would never betray you.
00:40:55You 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.
00:41:03You bastard! How could you? How could you do this to me?
00:41:15Emma, you're home early. Is everything alright?
00:41:19No, everything is not alright.
00:41:21How could you do this to me after you gave me your word?
00:41:24You betrayed me.
00:41:26I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:41:29But I'll be with you in just a sec.
00:41:31Just a sec? I have to finish up here.
00:41:34No one cares about your stupid plans, Jeff.
00:41:38Just tell me why you did it. Tell me!
00:41:41You should not have done that.
00:41:44You really should not have done that.
00:41:48Or what? What are you gonna do?
00:41:50Leak more stuff to the press?
00:41:52I see you already have a pretty good head start on that.
00:41:55What are you talking about?
00:41:57None 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 it had nothing to do with this.
00:42:09You fucking liar! It has your fingerprints all over it!
00:42:12What would I have to gain from betraying your trust?
00:42:15What would you have to gain?
00:42:17I don't know, Jeff. I don't know why you do anything you do.
00:42:20But you have completely ruined my life.
00:42:24Emma, I...
00:42:32Hello? Father?
00:42:49What am I gonna do? What the fuck am I gonna do?
00:42:51This is a complete disaster!
00:42:54How about you just calm down, take a few deep breaths.
00:42:57It might not be as bad as you make it out to be.
00:42:59Might not be as bad? Are you fucking kidding me?
00:43:02What am I gonna say to my father?
00:43:05Yeah, this looks grim, but it had nothing to do with this.
00:43:10How about instead of throwing accusations around,
00:43:13I 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?
00:43:24My accountants, so they can buy the news station and get me the information.
00:43:28You're bluffing. And even if you could do that, that would take forever to arrange.
00:43:32You'd be surprised how quickly you can get things done when you're Mr. X.
00:43:36This is a waste of my time.
00:43:38I just have to face my father and talk to him once and for all.
00:43:42Thanks for nothing.
00:43:44Done.
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 when you've been single for so long.
00:44:16Well, thanks for your concern about my love life.
00:44:18Why 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.
00:44:27That's rich.
00:44:28Coming 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 seem confident, like you think you have me beat.
00:44:39But I'm the one who's about to close the biggest deal in the company's history.
00:44:43You know our father better than anyone.
00:44:45He would never condone any of this.
00:44:47Plus, you're not the only one that can cut big deals for the company.
00:44:50Oh, you think you can cut a deal?
00:44:52You don't even know your way around the office.
00:44:54You'll soon find out I'm a man of many talents.
00:44:57Why don't you go see father? He's been waiting for you.
00:45:04Good luck. You'll need it.
00:45:12Father?
00:45:13Father?
00:45:14Tell me it isn't true.
00:45:15Tell 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.
00:45:22I 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?
00:45:45Are 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.
00:45:55What? What do you mean?
00:45:57While 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's.
00:46:13Not anymore.
00:46:24But Father, that's not fair. This is my client's.
00:46:27Not anymore. It doesn't matter how John has got the account. It is his now.
00:46:31Emmeline, you no longer need to worry about this.
00:46:34Emmeline, you no longer need to worry about the Anderson Corporation account.
00:46:37No, please. Don't stop me now when I'm so close to the end.
00:46:41My decision is made. Jonas will now be the successor of Castro Enterprises.
00:46:46Oh, Father, please. Please, I'm begging you. Don't do this to me. Please.
00:46:50All right. I will give you one more chance. On one condition.
00:46:55Of course. Of course. Anything.
00:46:57I want to meet this gardener of yours. I want to know who it is that has stolen my daughter's heart.
00:47:02You can't do this, Father. You simply just can't.
00:47:05She would disgrace the family name and you would condone it?
00:47:08Jonas, how dare you speak to me like that? Have you lost your mind?
00:47:11No, Father. I've lost my patience.
00:47:14I am your son. I am your heir. It is my birthright to be your successor.
00:47:21Jonas, how dare you speak to me like this?
00:47:23I will decide who will and who will not run this company.
00:47:28Father? 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.
00:47:44Father, that's not funny. You shouldn't be speaking. You should be resting.
00:47:48What, you're going to start treating me like a vegetable now?
00:47:51The 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, just as I am.
00:48:08Where's your brother?
00:48:09Right here, old man.
00:48:15Glad to see you're still kicking. For a moment there, I thought you...
00:48:18Don't you fucking dare. You did this to him.
00:48:21So it's my fault he's lying in bed like this? I'm the one that put him in this state?
00:48:25Please stop this bickering. I really can't cope with it anymore.
00:48:29Sorry, Father.
00:48:32Look, 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.
00:48:43And 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!
00:48:55This is not a permanent position.
00:48:57I will not make my final decision until I have met your man and seen the contract.
00:49:26Jonas, what are you doing here?
00:49:31Hello, Father. Are you feeling well-rested? Do you feel any better?
00:49:36No, not really. About the same.
00:49:40But why the sudden interest in my well-being? It's a little out of character for you.
00:49:47That's hurtful, Father. Your health is of top priority to me.
00:49:51I noticed your pills were running low, so I decided to refill them for you.
00:49:56Would you like to have a look?
00:49:57No, just give them to me, please.
00:50:10Well, I should be getting out of your hair. Get well soon, Pops.
00:50:22Well, hey! Watch where you're going!
00:50:25Sorry, sister. I didn't see you there. I must have been absent-minded.
00:50:29You're being too nice. What are you up to?
00:50:32What do you mean, what am I up to? I just apologized for almost pushing you over.
00:50:37What are you doing in Father's room?
00:50:39Now I can't check up on my own father? What do you people take me for around here?
00:50:44I don't know.
00:50:45Now I can't check up on my own father? What do you people take me for around here?
00:51:02Jonas! What are you doing here, and why are you in my seat?
00:51:07Didn't you hear? I'm in charge now, so technically, this is my seat.
00:51:13Do 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?
00:51:40Come on, Emma. Don't be petty.
00:51:43I finalized a contract that was sitting on your desk for weeks.
00:51:47It's all in the company's best interest.
00:51:49Company's best interest? Or your best interest, Jonas?
00:51:52Well, I am currently the Chief Executive Officer, so my interest is the company's best interest.
00:52:00Of course, you never did tell me how you got the details of the contract in the first place.
00:52:06I never pegged you as someone who was scurrying around like a rat.
00:52:10I don't scurry. I have people for that. It's the mark of a true leader.
00:52:15You 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!
00:52:28Emma!
00:52:39Emma, good-
00:52:41It's Miss Castro to you.
00:52:43Going somewhere?
00:52:45Um, yes. 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. I 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.
00:53:38As CEO, I'm responsible for the well-being of all my employees. I'm sure you understand.
00:53:44Interim CEO. Let's see how long you can hold on to that position once father recovers, sweet brother.
00:53:53Oh, Emma. I plan to hold on to this position for a very, very long time.
00:54:10Hey, um, I really wanted to apologize for the way I treated you and that I doubted you.
00:54:18And I shouldn't have broken your plan. That was a stupid thing to do.
00:54:23I never thought I'd see the day that Emmeline Castro would apologize.
00:54:27Well, don't get used to it. It's not going to happen again.
00:54:32Actually, scratch that. I think it will happen more often.
00:54:39I know I haven't been the best fake wife to you, but you've been good to me.
00:54:45And you've been kind and patient, and you didn't try and force yourself on me when you could have.
00:54:50Emma, you don't have to...
00:54:52No, please. Just let me finish, okay? This is really hard for me to say.
00:54:57But I also want to apologize for how I've treated you in the past.
00:55:01I'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.
00:55:19Good. 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?
00:55:39But... but why?
00:55:41Why?
00:55:48It's beautiful. But why would you paint a picture of me?
00:55:53I don't recall it being a crime to paint a picture of a beautiful and fascinating woman.
00:56:01Well, maybe I can see it when it's finished.
00:56:04Maybe. We'll see.
00:56:08Emma, I know you just... you didn't come all this way to apologize.
00:56:16And 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.
00:56:29You pat your lips every time you're worried.
00:56:32Every 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.
00:56:56My father said the only way he'd even entertain the idea of me getting married to a gardener
00:57:02is 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.
00:57:25What? 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.
00:58:05Cynthia, 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.
00:58:20And if I did, I wouldn't have helped you.
00:58:22All you care about is yourself.
00:58:24I'm well compensated for your efforts.
00:58:26A salary bump. A triple promotion.
00:58:29I'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
00:58:52and all the things that will happen.
00:58:54But my father has a very serious illness and he might not recover.
00:58:58And that's just a fact.
00:59:00How could you say that about your own father?
00:59:02I don't think I've said anything out of place.
00:59:04My father is very sick and he might be in bed for a very long time.
00:59:09And I'm sure that would definitely suit your agenda, wouldn't it?
00:59:12Are you accusing me of something?
00:59:14No, Jonah. I'm not accusing you of anything.
00:59:16I just think I chose the wrong side.
00:59:18And what side is that?
00:59:19Look, you're not the man that I thought you were.
00:59:22I heard stories, but I didn't think they were true.
00:59:25But clearly they are.
00:59:29And what stories are those?
00:59:31Tell me the tales of Jonas Castro.
00:59:34Jonas Castro?
00:59:36Well, Jonas Castro loves himself.
00:59:38He's an alcoholic. He's a womanizer.
00:59:40He's just pure evil.
00:59:43That's who Jonas Castro is.
00:59:45Look, I can't do this.
00:59:48I'm leaving.
00:59:51Where the fuck do you think you're going?
00:59:55It seems you've forgotten your place.
00:59:58Maybe it's time I reminded you.
01:00:02Please, let go.
01:00:05Jonas.
01:00:07You 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're drunk.
01:00:13I think you're drunk and I think you just need to get off me, please.
01:00:18Let me remind you, you were just a pawn in all of this.
01:00:21Before I came into your life, you were nothing.
01:00:24Please, I'm sorry. I'll forget about it and we can go.
01:00:28No, no, no.
01:00:30I think I need to teach you a lesson.
01:00:32One you'll never forget.
01:00:38You seem pretty confident.
01:00:40I guess you've done a lot of stuff like this before.
01:00:43Not really.
01:00:45Any advice on approaching your father?
01:00:47Well, he already doesn't like you.
01:00:49So I guess just be yourself.
01:00:52Let's get this over with.
01:00:55Father?
01:00:57I'm here.
01:00:59You're not alone. I'm with my fiancé.
01:01:03That's you.
01:01:06Wait, you two know each other?
01:01:09Your father and I have met.
01:01:11It was a long time ago.
01:01:13We're family members.
01:01:15I never forget a face.
01:01:17Especially one as unique as yours.
01:01:20Wait, hang on.
01:01:22This doesn't make any sense.
01:01:24Someone needs to give me some answers.
01:01:26This man came to me a few years ago,
01:01:29asking for a private meeting
01:01:32to discuss a very important proposal.
01:01:43Answer.
01:01:45Answer.
01:01:47Answer.
01:01:49Answer.
01:01:51Answer.
01:01:53Answer.
01:01:55Answer.
01:01:57Answer.
01:01:59Answer.
01:02:04You're the man I spoke with on the phone?
01:02:06Yes, sir.
01:02:09It's not every day I have a meeting with a total stranger,
01:02:11but you said you had an interesting business proposal,
01:02:14so what is it?
01:02:16Of course, sir. I understand perfectly.
01:02:18But I said I had an interesting proposal for you.
01:02:21It may not be exactly considered a business proposal.
01:02:24Young man,
01:02:26I don't have time for your silly little word games,
01:02:28so you have five minutes to tell me what the proposal is,
01:02:30or I will have you thrown out.
01:02:32Right down to business.
01:02:35I would like to ask for your daughter,
01:02:38Emma's hand in marriage.
01:02:41I'm sorry,
01:02:43I think my hearing must be playing tricks on me.
01:02:45Could you repeat that for me, please?
01:02:47I said I would like your daughter's hand in marriage.
01:02:50So it seems like my hearing is fine.
01:02:53No, sir, I believe your hearing is still top-notch.
01:02:56So, what makes you think I would go for such a ludicrous idea?
01:02:59Well, I didn't think you'd have a problem with it,
01:03:01since I am the heir to my family's inheritance.
01:03:03And I don't think it's a good idea.
01:03:05I don't think it's a good idea.
01:03:07I don't think it's a good idea.
01:03:09I don't think it's a good idea.
01:03:11I am the heir to my family's billion dollar fortune.
01:03:13Is that supposed to impress me?
01:03:15Anyone 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,
01:03:34galvanizing our position in high society,
01:03:36making us a formidable force.
01:03:38I didn't think you'd have a problem with it.
01:03:41Well, I see you've done your research, but even if I were to give this union my blessing,
01:03:46I could never convince my Emmeline to marry someone that she didn't choose herself.
01:03:50Well, I believe that's where I come in.
01:03:53How so?
01:04:00So, how exactly do you plan on wooing my daughter?
01:04:04Well, in all honesty, sir, it's not a very good plan, but it's one that sets my heart at ease.
01:04:11What exactly are you talking about?
01:04:13I'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 just 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, like 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.
01:04:39I know, but I'm still willing to try, and 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 for me, but Emma can't know that you know who I am.
01:04:51Maybe 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.
01:04:56It's no secret that you yearn for your daughter to get married to someone worthy from high society.
01:05:03Please just consider the plan.
01:05:06How dare you presume to know me and what it is that I want? Get out!
01:05:15Thank you for your time. If you reconsider, please give me a call.
01:05:22How arrogant. Reminds me of my younger self.
01:05:28Wait, so hang on. What you're trying to tell me is...
01:05:32I've never been poor a day in my life. I just wanted you to see the real me.
01:05:37That's what I was trying to tell you that day in the restaurant, but you wouldn't hear me out.
01:05:41So you just created a fake marriage, a contract marriage, and why not move on to someone else?
01:05:48Contract marriage?
01:05:50But what if I hadn't signed it? What was going to be your next scheme?
01:05:54I told you. You're the only person that I ever wanted to see me for who I was.
01:06:00And it wasn't a sham contract. I would have kept my end of the bargain at the end of three months.
01:06:07What if I hadn't signed it? What would have your next scheme been?
01:06:11There was no next scheme because I knew you would sign it.
01:06:14How did you know that?
01:06:16Because I know you. And I know you.
01:06:20Because I know you. Emma, you're willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want.
01:06:26Just like I am.
01:06:28You seem to know a lot about me.
01:06:32I really don't know what's going on here.
01:06:34But 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.
01:07:06But 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?
01:07:27Jeff, you're a very curious human being.
01:07:31But you have been very kind and caring to me over the last few months.
01:07:36Even though I've been a total bitch.
01:07:38I hate to admit it, but I have grown fond of you.
01:07:43So is that a yes?
01:07:44Well, we've already been married for two months. Might as well give it a real shot.
01:07:50Yes!
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.
01:08:10It is also my final decision that she takes over as CEO of Castro Enterprises
01:08:15and that you step down effective immediately.
01:08:19Like hell I will. I'm your son!
01:08:21No son of mine would swap out my medication for a placebo so that I would die faster.
01:08:27Yeah, I knew about that. I might be sick, but I am not senile.
01:08:32I didn't want it to come to this.
01:08:34I don't love someone who you are the choice.
01:08:37Jonas, 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.
01:08:45Please, 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.
01:09:00No, please. Think about what you're doing. This is our father. Put it down.
01:09:05What the fuck do you think you're doing, Emma? Get out of the way.
01:09:07No.
01:09:08It'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?
01:09:19Your 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.
01:09:25Jonas, no.
01:09:28Ah!
01:09:30Father!
01:09:31Father, no!
01:09:33No, father!
01:09:37Father, please, no.
01:09:41Please, 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.
01:09:52Know that I'm so proud of you.
01:09:54And your mother would have been so proud of you, too.
01:09:59I'll send her your love.
01:10:01Father, no. No, no.
