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

01:02:36business proposal so what is it of course sir i understand perfectly but i said i had a
01:02:42interesting proposal for you it may not be exactly considered a business proposal
01:02:47young man i don't have time for your silly little word games so you have five minutes to tell me
01:02:52what the proposal is or i will have you thrown out right down to business i would like to ask for
01:03:00your daughter emma's hand in marriage
01:03:03i'm sorry i think my hearing must be playing tricks on me could you repeat that for me please
01:03:16i said i would like your daughter's hand in marriage
01:03:20so it seems like my hearing is fine no sir i believe your hearing is still top notch
01:03:26so what makes you think i would go for such a ludicrous idea well i didn't think you'd have
01:03:31a problem with it since i am the heir to my family's billion dollar fortune is that supposed
01:03:36to impress me anyone could claim to be anything these days
01:03:39that's my family's name our net worth we operate several business enterprises as well as doing
01:03:51philanthropic work so a union between your daughter and i would strengthen both our families
01:03:56galvanizing our position in high society making us a formidable force
01:04:00i didn't think you'd have a problem with it
01:04:02well i see you've done your research
01:04:05but even if i were to give this union my blessing i could never convince my emmeline to
01:04:10marry someone that she didn't choose herself
01:04:12well i believe that's where i come in
01:04:15how so
01:04:15so how exactly do you plan on wooing my daughter
01:04:26well in all honesty sir it's not a very good plan but it's one that sets my heart at ease
01:04:32what exactly are you talking about i've not had much luck with women in this regard they always
01:04:38seem to be after me for access to my money i'm so sick of it so i intend to disguise myself as a
01:04:46nobody are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money like some pathetic little gold
01:04:52digger no no sir i just want emma to get to know me for me that's all this is a ridiculous plan
01:04:59it'll never work i know but i'm still willing to try and if it goes south no harm done
01:05:06so what exactly do you want from me well i was hoping you could put in a good word for me but emma
01:05:11can't know that you know who i am maybe you could say that i'm the son of an old friend this is a
01:05:16ridiculous plan i think you just need to leave it's no secret that you yearn for your daughter to get
01:05:21married to someone worthy from high society please just consider the plan how dare you presume to
01:05:28know me and what it is that i want get out thank you for your time if you reconsider please give me a call
01:05:44how arrogant reminds me of my younger self
