00:00:00Father, what's the meaning of this?
00:00:24How could you do this to me?
00:00:25Well, good morning, Emmeline.
00:00:26I 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.
00:01:19Father, I am certain this is an offer you're going to appreciate.
00:01:24An 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?
00:01:38Okay, 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.
00:01:54Hmm. If 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.
00:02:13Um, 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.
00:02:46Mail for Mr. Belline Kestrel?
00:02:52Yes. Thank you.
00:03:03Who is it?
00:03:04Yes, Cynthia, what do you want?
00:03:06Um, I've got mail from the Anderson Corporation.
00:03:09I think they finally responded.
00:03:10What'd they say?
00:03:11Oh, I don't know. It's sealed.
00:03:13Don't just stand there. Read to me.
00:03:15Oh my god. This is for Mr. X himself. He'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. I'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?
00:03:40I'm not going.
00:03:45What do you mean you're not going? This is the big break you've been waiting for.
00:03:53I know. I know. But...
00:03:55Does something about this seem off to you?
00:03:58Off? What do you mean off?
00:04:00You've sent out a million proposals. And now suddenly we get a response from Mr. X himself?
00:04:07I guess so, Miss Castro. But what do you have to lose? Honestly, you've been waiting for this. Might as well.
00:04:30Hey, you! Gardner! I'm here to meet Mr. X. Am I in the right place?
00:04:41Do I know you from somewhere?
00:04:43Yes, I imagine you do. I'm...
00:04:46Unimportant. I'm here to meet Mr. X. Is this the place?
00:04:51He's waiting for you. Just through that door and down the hall.
00:05:00Help me!
00:05:02I'll trust you once again!
00:05:30Hello.
00:05:46Look, 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?
00:06:13No way, you're Jeff?
00:06:20In the flesh.
00:06:23You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:06:25You haven't answered my question.
00:06:27What's going on here?
00:06:29Well, you arranged a meeting with Mr. X, so here we are.
00:06:32I 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.
00:06:47Is this a prank or are there cameras?
00:06:50Cameras?
00:06:51I 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.
00:06:59You 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. I'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 be
00:07:15hysterical for a few more minutes?
00:07:17Bullshit.
00:07:18You're lying.
00:07:19Are you just admit it and stop playing games?
00:07:21You don't have to believe me.
00:07:22I'm not trying to convince you.
00:07:24The door's still open.
00:07:25You're welcome to leave.
00:07:29I've got to say, this looks really good.
00:07:38One of the best proposals I've read in a while, in fact.
00:07:42I guess all the media I say about you is true.
00:07:44But 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.
00:07:57And I've had my team go through it as well.
00:07:59The simple truth is, your company does not have the resources to manage such a large project.
00:08:05On paper at least.
00:08:06Your father has consecutively been turned down over 30 times in the past 10 years for this reason alone.
00:08:11What makes you think we'd accept your company's offer this time?
00:08:13You've been rejected so many times before.
00:08:15You've had all that information and you've still invited me here.
00:08:19So that begs the question, what am I really doing here?
00:08:24Oh, Emma.
00:08:26You're always as intelligent as you are beautiful.
00:08:29Don'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.
00:08:38Help me secure what I came for.
00:08:48You mean the contract.
00:08:49Did you come for something else?
00:08:51No.
00:08:52I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
00:08:55So what's the offer?
00:08:57Take it.
00:08:58Open.
00:08:59What is this supposed to be?
00:09:00You're a smart woman, Emma.
00:09:01I'm sure you can meet with our baby.
00:09:02This is a marriage contract.
00:09:03Between you and me.
00:09:04Contractual terms of the marriage outlined in detail.
00:09:06Contract set to expire in three months.
00:09:07What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?
00:09:14You think I would willingly sell myself into servitude just for a contract?
00:09:19Let's not play games, Emma.
00:09:34I feel they're a waste of time and I don't have much of it to spare.
00:09:36I'm guessing the same is true for you.
00:09:38I know the reason you're here.
00:09:40Or dare I say, the motive behind your actions.
00:09:44What matters could that possibly be?
00:09:47Could that possibly be?
00:09:49Oh, I don't know.
00:09:50The fact that your father is publicly resigning from his position as CEO in three months?
00:09:55Or that he's naming someone who is not you as his successor?
00:09:59So, 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?
00:10:10Let me know if I missed something.
00:10:17How could you possibly know all this? Down to such detail.
00:10:21In this line of business, information is key.
00:10:25And I always have my way of getting the information I want.
00:10:29But, 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.
00:10:41And 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. You're sitting right in front of me.
00:10:52What do you really know about me?
00:10:54Besides the fact that my name might be Jeff?
00:10:56Might be.
00:10:58The world knows me as Mr. X.
00:11:00You have a name and a face, but little else.
00:11:03I drove here, remember? I know where you live.
00:11:07I have a dozen homes across the state, none of which are in my name.
00:11:12But I think we're getting a little off topic here.
00:11:14Do you have a contract in front of you that can make all of your dreams come true?
00:11:19The question is, do you have the balls to take it?
00:11:24Of course, you could walk away, turn it down, and none of this will have happened.
00:11:31But remember, this is a one-time offer.
00:11:35So, decide.
00:11:36Can I at least take some time to go through it carefully, and then make a decision?
00:11:47Smart woman.
00:11:49I'll give you three days to decide.
00:11:51After which, the contract will be withdrawn.
00:11:55And nobody is to know about our little arrangement.
00:11:58Is that clear?
00:12:00Yes.
00:12:00God damn it.
00:12:08This asshole must have to be out of his goddamn mind.
00:12:11He wants to turn me into a slave, and for what?
00:12:14Are you hiding something from your baby sister?
00:12:17Hiding?
00:12:18I don't need to hide anything from you.
00:12:20You'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?
00:12:27It's bad enough I always have pops on my back.
00:12:29On your back?
00:12:30You're clearly his favorite.
00:12:32I mean, he gives you everything on a gulp platter, and you just take it for granted.
00:12:36You think you have everything figured out, don't you?
00:12:39When in truth, you're just a scared little girl running around seeking validation from her daddy.
00:12:45What are you doing here, Jonas?
00:12:46I know you didn't just come to say hi.
00:12:48I have a lot to get done today.
00:12:50What?
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.
00:13:08This is a nice office you have here.
00:13:10But, uh, remind me to give you a raise when I finally take over.
00:13:14Now, can you please tell me why you're here?
00:13:17Get down to business, you mean?
00:13:18Well, I'd like you to tell father that you're no longer interested in the position of CEO and that you would gladly let me take the lead as your big brother.
00:13:28And why the hell would I want to do that?
00:13:38Maybe 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.
00:13:46I 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.
00:13:52And you might get yourself hurt.
00:13:54Is that a threat, big brother?
00:13:57A threat?
00:13:58I'm just trying to look out for you, kiddo.
00:14:00Politics can be a dirty game.
00:14:02Well, thank you so much for your concern, Jonas.
00:14:05I really appreciate it.
00:14:07But I've made up my mind.
00:14:08I'm not chickening out.
00:14:11You've always had a hard time listening to simple instructions, haven't you?
00:14:15You see, here's what bothers me.
00:14:19Why do you even want it, anyway?
00:14:22I mean, you barely have enough time for yourself, let alone running the day-to-day operations of a huge company like this.
00:14:27And even if I'm CEO, you'll still have plenty of money to fund your extravagant lifestyle.
00:14:32So why do you want it?
00:14:36You know what?
00:14:38You're right.
00:14:39I don't have time to manage any of this.
00:14:41Which is why I want to make you second in command.
00:14:44You'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's that sound, kid?
00:14:54You're out of your mind, Jonas.
00:14:59So, let me get this straight.
00:15:01You 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, because that's never going to happen, Jonas.
00:15:15Let me ask you this.
00:15:17How do you envision this will end?
00:15:20You think I'd stand idly by while you take my fucking birthright?
00:15:24Well, when last I checked, we both had the same last name.
00:15:27I don't remember when that right was conferred to you.
00:15:29You think Father will entertain this sick fantasy of yours?
00:15:33Just like when you were a kid, so he wants to just see you get tired out before he comes to console you.
00:15:39I'm just trying to save you from all that stress.
00:15:41Again, thank you for your concern, brother.
00:15:44It's deeply appreciated, but I'll have to pass on your offer.
00:15:48Fine.
00:15:51If you won't hear the voice of reason, so be it.
00:15:53But don't come crying to me when things get ugly.
00:15:57Dare I ask, is that a threat I detect, brother?
00:16:00It's not a very nice way to talk to your little sister, is it?
00:16:03You know, you're lucky I...
00:16:04Emma, you asked me to remind you of, um...
00:16:08Sorry, I didn't realize...
00:16:09Alright, Cynthia, my brother here was just leaving.
00:16:14This isn't over, little sister.
00:16:16I'll be back.
00:16:23You had something for me?
00:16:31Oh, yeah, your, um, three o'clock appointment.
00:16:34You told me to remind you when our client is here.
00:16:36I tried to buzz you, but you didn't answer.
00:16:39Sorry, Cynthia.
00:16:40I guess I was just a bit distracted.
00:16:42Um, can we reschedule that meeting for later in the week?
00:16:45I'm just not in the right frame of mind right now.
00:16:47I'm sorry to hear that.
00:16:48Is it anything to do with you-know-who?
00:16:51My brother is just being his usual self.
00:16:53He's usually pretty hard to understand.
00:16:55I guess you can't choose your family, can you?
00:16:58Tell me about it.
00:16:59I also have an insufferable brother
00:17:01who doesn't look as good in those genes.
00:17:04What was that?
00:17:06Oh, um, nothing.
00:17:08Um, could I get you a coffee or a cold drink?
00:17:11Oh, you're sweet.
00:17:12But no, it's alright, Cynthia.
00:17:14I think I just need to be alone with my thoughts.
00:17:18Oh, yes, alright.
00:17:19Um, well, I will take care of the meeting
00:17:22and I will get out of your hair.
00:17:24If you need anything, let me know.
00:17:39Father!
00:17:40We need to talk.
00:17:41Clearly you've forgotten your manners
00:17:43and how to knock on a door.
00:17:45Forgive me, Father.
00:17:46I just felt the matter was too urgent.
00:17:48Standing around knocking on doors
00:17:50felt like a waste of time.
00:17:52Right.
00:17:52Well, what is the matter
00:17:53and why do you smell like a sewer rat?
00:17:58I've just been working hard all day, Father.
00:18:00Working hard inside a bar?
00:18:01Look, I don't have time for this.
00:18:03What do you want?
00:18:03It's funny how nobody around here
00:18:05ever seems to have time when I'm around.
00:18:08It's like I'm some disease
00:18:09that you all want to keep at arm's length.
00:18:11Jonas, you're a grown man.
00:18:13Stop carrying on like a child
00:18:15and tell me what it is that you want.
00:18:19I'd like to know
00:18:20why do you insist on giving Emma
00:18:21the false hope
00:18:22that she could actually take my birthright?
00:18:25Seems pretty cruel,
00:18:27even by your standards.
00:18:28I'll have you know
00:18:29she has every opportunity
00:18:30to succeed in running this company.
00:18:32If she lands the deal,
00:18:33I will honor my promise
00:18:35and hand over the reins.
00:18:38No.
00:18:40You can't do that.
00:18:42You can't do that!
00:18:44Oh, can't I?
00:18:45Just watch me.
00:18:51You can't do this.
00:18:53It's not fair.
00:18:54You can't do this.
00:18:58Wait.
00:19:00You're just trying to teach me a lesson,
00:19:02aren't you?
00:19:02To show me the error of my ways.
00:19:06Well,
00:19:07lesson learned.
00:19:09You didn't have to go this far.
00:19:12Jonas,
00:19:12come and sit down
00:19:13and we'll talk about this man to man.
00:19:23Castro Enterprises is a family business
00:19:26that has been passed down
00:19:27from generation to generation.
00:19:29It was my grandfather's
00:19:30and he passed it down to my father.
00:19:32My father then passed it down to me,
00:19:34but I had to earn it.
00:19:36He didn't just give it over.
00:19:37I had to work my butt off
00:19:38to prove myself to him
00:19:40and earn his respect,
00:19:41just like your sister has done
00:19:42every single day.
00:19:44But what are you doing?
00:19:45All you are doing
00:19:46is spending our fortune
00:19:47every nickel, penny, and dime.
00:19:49I mean,
00:19:50that was a $500,000 bill
00:19:51just on champagne alone.
00:19:53What are you spending
00:19:54that kind of money
00:19:55on booze for?
00:19:56Are you opening a winery?
00:19:59Jonas,
00:20:00I need you
00:20:01I need you to start
00:20:03earning my respect
00:20:04and my trust,
00:20:06not squandering our fortune.
00:20:08Father,
00:20:08are you okay?
00:20:09I'm fine.
00:20:10Worry more about your own reputation
00:20:12rather than my health.
00:20:14You know what, Father?
00:20:16You're right.
00:20:18I'll do just that.
00:20:20Thank you for
00:20:21setting me on the right path.
00:20:23As always,
00:20:24I won't disappoint you.
00:20:27I promise.
00:20:28Who is it?
00:20:45Miss Castor,
00:20:46I have you a coffee
00:20:46with two sugars.
00:20:47You're the best.
00:20:48And I told you,
00:20:49you don't need to be
00:20:50so formal with me.
00:20:51Oh, yes.
00:20:52Sorry.
00:20:52Um,
00:20:53I keep forgetting.
00:20:54Bring me that coffee.
00:20:55No worries, Emma.
00:20:56Oh, I, um,
00:20:59I forgot to ask you,
00:21:00how did things go with Mr. X?
00:21:02He's obviously not a serial killer.
00:21:04No,
00:21:04he was something worse.
00:21:06He's a psychopath.
00:21:07Oh,
00:21:07I'm sorry to hear that.
00:21:09So does that mean
00:21:09you're not going to go ahead
00:21:10with the project?
00:21:11Sorry,
00:21:12one second.
00:21:14Who could this be?
00:21:17Mr. X sends a message.
00:21:20Time's up.
00:21:20How do you ever expect me to sign this?
00:21:47Do you really think I'm that desperate?
00:21:50I have to be very careful.
00:21:56Even one excess drop
00:21:58could kill her.
00:22:03There.
00:22:05Dumb.
00:22:07Now, what were you saying, my dear?
00:22:09First of all,
00:22:10I am not your dear.
00:22:11And second of all,
00:22:12do you really expect me to sign this?
00:22:14It's like selling myself into slavery.
00:22:15Are you listening to me?
00:22:19Is this a joke to you?
00:22:21I can hear you.
00:22:23And yelling
00:22:24is not going to help me hear you any better.
00:22:27Yes,
00:22:27that contract in front of you
00:22:29is the equivalent
00:22:29of selling yourself into slavery.
00:22:31Because I will own you for the duration.
00:22:33But
00:22:34you're under no obligation to sign it.
00:22:37You could walk out of here right now
00:22:39and nobody would stop me.
00:22:41So,
00:22:42the fact of the matter remains,
00:22:44you have a decision to make.
00:22:51Fox ticket.
00:22:51Fine.
00:23:00I'll do it.
00:23:02Fantastic.
00:23:04I knew you had it in you.
00:23:06But
00:23:06can I just make one request?
00:23:09A request?
00:23:11I don't know if I'll like this.
00:23:13But go on.
00:23:15Well,
00:23:16the contract stipulates that
00:23:17I have to publicly agree
00:23:19to be marrying a
00:23:20common gardener,
00:23:22not Mr. X.
00:23:23Yes,
00:23:24I remember putting that in.
00:23:25What about it?
00:23:26Well,
00:23:26just if you could
00:23:27give me some time
00:23:28to convince him.
00:23:30He's stubborn,
00:23:30but I think I can bring him around eventually.
00:23:34This could be problematic.
00:23:37But I'll grant it.
00:23:39You have 14 days
00:23:40to convince your father.
00:23:41But no
00:23:42other requests
00:23:43will be granted.
00:23:47Now,
00:23:47shall we proceed?
00:23:59What do you
00:23:59get out of this anyway?
00:24:01Is it
00:24:01some kind of
00:24:03payback or revenge
00:24:04or
00:24:04just a
00:24:05sick thrill?
00:24:07I guess you'll never know.
00:24:11Maybe one day I'll tell you.
00:24:17It's done.
00:24:37Are you happy now?
00:24:38Happy?
00:24:39This is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:24:41So don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:24:45Here,
00:24:46let me give you a hand with that.
00:24:47I can do it myself.
00:24:51You're just about done.
00:24:58There.
00:24:58I need to change my clothes.
00:25:02Can you at least
00:25:02turn around
00:25:03and close your eyes
00:25:04or something?
00:25:05I could,
00:25:06but I think we need to start
00:25:07getting comfortable with each other
00:25:08sooner rather than later.
00:25:10We're a happily married couple now,
00:25:11remember?
00:25:12It says so right on the certificate.
00:25:14But I guess...
00:25:16we don't have to get comfortable
00:25:18right now.
00:25:20I promise
00:25:21I won't stare.
00:25:27Is this the part
00:25:28where you've forced me
00:25:29to sleep with you
00:25:30to consummate our fake marriage?
00:25:32I did not force you
00:25:33to do anything.
00:25:35But if I wish for you
00:25:36to fulfill your marital obligations,
00:25:37I would expect you to do so
00:25:38with a smile on your face.
00:25:44Do we have an understanding?
00:25:51Some day
00:25:56we are going to be together.
00:26:07If you don't have an appointment,
00:26:09please sit down
00:26:10and I'll be with you shortly.
00:26:12I don't think
00:26:13I need an appointment.
00:26:14I pretty much own the company.
00:26:17I am so sorry, Mr. Castro.
00:26:19I didn't see you walk in.
00:26:21It's okay, sweetheart.
00:26:23Have you seen my sister around?
00:26:24I've been trying
00:26:25to get a hold of her.
00:26:26No, but I can
00:26:27write down something for you
00:26:30and I can get it to her.
00:26:32No, it's fine.
00:26:33I prefer to have my meetings
00:26:34face to face,
00:26:36if you know what I mean.
00:26:37Just let me know
00:26:38when she comes by, okay?
00:26:40Yes, of course.
00:26:43You're Emma's
00:26:44personal assistant, right?
00:26:48So, you know
00:26:49a lot about the things
00:26:50that go on around here, right?
00:26:52I mean,
00:26:53I do her schedules,
00:26:54I write her meetings,
00:26:56I get her coffee,
00:26:57I write her proposals
00:26:58while I draft him
00:26:59and then I also,
00:27:01I run around all day
00:27:03making sure
00:27:03I am so sorry,
00:27:06Mr. Castro.
00:27:07I kind of start
00:27:08blabbing
00:27:08and then I can't stop
00:27:09and then it just...
00:27:10It's okay, sweetheart.
00:27:11You know,
00:27:12I do have a thing
00:27:12for intelligent women.
00:27:14Why don't I take you
00:27:18on a date?
00:27:20I'll take that as a yes.
00:27:22I'll call you.
00:27:23And remember,
00:27:25my sister can't know
00:27:26about this.
00:27:26Emma!
00:27:32Where have you been?
00:27:51I haven't seen you
00:27:52in two days.
00:27:53Are you okay?
00:27:53You look terrible,
00:27:55no offense.
00:27:56Yeah, sorry.
00:27:56I just had a lot going on,
00:27:58that's all.
00:27:59Yeah, yeah,
00:28:00of course.
00:28:01Do you care to tell me?
00:28:03Right.
00:28:03Close the door.
00:28:05Yeah, close.
00:28:12Alright,
00:28:12what I'm about to say,
00:28:14it has to stay
00:28:16between you and me, okay?
00:28:17It needs to be confidential.
00:28:18Yes, yes,
00:28:19of course,
00:28:19you can trust me.
00:28:20I know.
00:28:21Sometimes I feel like
00:28:21you're the only one
00:28:22I can trust.
00:28:24So,
00:28:24the last two days
00:28:25I was away,
00:28:26I got married
00:28:27and kind of
00:28:28signed my life away.
00:28:30Oh my god.
00:28:32How?
00:28:32Oh my god,
00:28:33I have so many questions.
00:28:34I bet.
00:28:35Let's hear them.
00:28:36Well,
00:28:37who did you get married to?
00:28:39Um,
00:28:40where did you get married?
00:28:42How?
00:28:42All I can say
00:28:45is
00:28:46I've married a gardener
00:28:48and I even have
00:28:49a marriage contract
00:28:49to prove it.
00:28:51I'm supposed to make
00:28:51an announcement
00:28:52in two weeks' time
00:28:53but no one can know
00:28:54until I've had a chance
00:28:55to speak with my father first.
00:28:57Yes,
00:28:57of course.
00:28:58Do you think
00:28:58he's going to approve?
00:28:59I don't think he is.
00:29:01Tell me about it.
00:29:04So,
00:29:04what else happened
00:29:05when I was away?
00:29:06Not much.
00:29:08Really,
00:29:08just your brother came in?
00:29:10Jonas was here.
00:29:11Yeah.
00:29:12He's always up to something.
00:29:14Did he say something to you?
00:29:16No,
00:29:16he didn't say anything to me.
00:29:22Well,
00:29:23out with it already.
00:29:24Did he do or say something
00:29:25while I was away?
00:29:26No,
00:29:27no,
00:29:27he pretty much just told me
00:29:28to let you know
00:29:29that he dropped by.
00:29:31That was it.
00:29:33Are you okay?
00:29:35Yeah,
00:29:36yeah,
00:29:36I'm fine.
00:29:37Did you want me
00:29:38to call him for you?
00:29:40I can let him know
00:29:41and maybe leave a note
00:29:42and he could...
00:29:43No,
00:29:43it's fine.
00:29:44I'm seeing him tonight
00:29:45for a family dinner,
00:29:46so whatever he has
00:29:48to say to me,
00:29:48he can say it then.
00:29:51Okay.
00:29:51Okay.
00:30:11you look as ravishing
00:30:20as ever,
00:30:20little sister.
00:30:22Did you do something
00:30:23with your hair?
00:30:24No,
00:30:24it's the same
00:30:25as when you saw it last time.
00:30:27But you look a little less drunk
00:30:28than usual.
00:30:29That's an improvement.
00:30:30darling sister,
00:30:33might you by any chance
00:30:34be implying
00:30:35in front of father
00:30:35that I'm an alcoholic?
00:30:37Now that wouldn't be
00:30:38very nice,
00:30:39would it?
00:30:39I'm certainly not implying
00:30:40you're a workaholic,
00:30:41that's for sure.
00:30:42Enough!
00:30:43Can't we just have
00:30:44one meal in peace,
00:30:45please?
00:30:47Sorry, father.
00:30:47Father,
00:30:54if I were to tell you
00:30:57I'm getting married,
00:30:59getting married to a man,
00:31:01how would you feel
00:31:02about that?
00:31:03Well,
00:31:03that would be
00:31:04wonderful news.
00:31:05The best news
00:31:06I've heard
00:31:06in a long,
00:31:07long time.
00:31:08So,
00:31:09who is this
00:31:10mystery man?
00:31:17Well,
00:31:19don't get too excited.
00:31:20It's just a
00:31:21hypothetical question.
00:31:26You really
00:31:27had me going
00:31:28there for a second.
00:31:29I almost
00:31:29took you seriously.
00:31:31What dude
00:31:32would want to get
00:31:32married to boring
00:31:33old you?
00:31:34What did you
00:31:35just say to me?
00:31:36Father,
00:31:36did you hear
00:31:37what he just called me?
00:31:38Sure,
00:31:39go running to daddy.
00:31:41Maybe he'll
00:31:41tuck you in
00:31:42and rock you
00:31:42to sleep too.
00:31:43You're out of line,
00:31:44Jonas.
00:31:45Then why don't
00:31:46you put me in line,
00:31:46Emma?
00:31:47Or do you need
00:31:48daddy's help
00:31:48to do that too?
00:31:49No,
00:31:49I don't need
00:31:50anybody's help.
00:31:50Enough,
00:31:51enough.
00:31:52Seriously,
00:31:53why must you
00:31:53always beat
00:31:54each other's
00:31:54throats?
00:31:55Emmeline,
00:31:55put the knife away.
00:31:56Jonas,
00:31:57you're excused
00:31:58from the table.
00:31:59Of course
00:31:59you'd take her side.
00:32:01I don't know
00:32:02why I bother
00:32:02coming to these
00:32:03dinners anyway.
00:32:08Sorry about
00:32:08that,
00:32:09Father.
00:32:09That's all right.
00:32:10Now,
00:32:11you were going
00:32:11to tell me
00:32:12about your
00:32:12hypothetical husband.
00:32:15Oh,
00:32:16um,
00:32:16yes,
00:32:18yes,
00:32:18mother.
00:32:19What does
00:32:20your hypothetical
00:32:20husband do?
00:32:23He's,
00:32:24um...
00:32:24It's okay,
00:32:25you can tell me.
00:32:26Is he an entrepreneur,
00:32:27a business owner?
00:32:29Uh,
00:32:29no.
00:32:30Well,
00:32:31you see,
00:32:31he, um,
00:32:33a gardener.
00:32:35A what?
00:32:36He's a gardener.
00:32:43He's a gardener.
00:32:52Why,
00:32:52why are we laughing,
00:32:53Father?
00:32:54You're a joke.
00:32:55It was hilarious.
00:32:56It's the funniest thing
00:32:57I've heard in a long time.
00:32:58Oh,
00:32:59well,
00:33:00you know me,
00:33:00I'm always trying
00:33:01to make you laugh.
00:33:02Yes,
00:33:03and I just,
00:33:04I just wish
00:33:05your mother
00:33:06would have been here
00:33:06to hear it as well.
00:33:07She would have just
00:33:07laughed her head off.
00:33:09So,
00:33:11what is it you really
00:33:12wanted to talk to me about?
00:33:14Oh,
00:33:14um,
00:33:16just that I've opened
00:33:17talks with the
00:33:17Anderson Corporation
00:33:18and,
00:33:19um,
00:33:19they seem quite receptive.
00:33:20So,
00:33:21I think it's only a matter
00:33:22of weeks before
00:33:22the deal is sealed.
00:33:24Well,
00:33:24that is wonderful news.
00:33:25I'm very proud of you.
00:33:26You know,
00:33:27I actually thought
00:33:28this was an impossible
00:33:29undertaking,
00:33:30but you're doing it
00:33:31with exceptional ease.
00:33:34Clearly,
00:33:34the apple hasn't fallen
00:33:35far from the tree.
00:33:36Thank you,
00:33:36Father.
00:33:37I learned from the best.
00:33:39Well,
00:33:40I would like to know,
00:33:42how did you manage
00:33:43to pull this off?
00:33:45Well,
00:33:46um,
00:33:47I was able to negotiate
00:33:49a mutually beneficial deal
00:33:50and showed them
00:33:51how to increase profits
00:33:52and it was smooth sailing
00:33:54from there.
00:33:55Very impressive.
00:33:55You are clearly
00:33:57going to make
00:33:58an outstanding CEO.
00:34:01Thank you,
00:34:02Father.
00:34:22Cynthia,
00:34:23darling,
00:34:23this is Jonas.
00:34:24How are you?
00:34:25Yeah,
00:34:26I'm good.
00:34:27I was just calling
00:34:28to see if you were free
00:34:29tonight for that date
00:34:29we were talking about.
00:34:31I can pick you up
00:34:31after work.
00:34:33Perfect.
00:34:35Hey,
00:34:35I could really use
00:34:36your help
00:34:37in grabbing a file
00:34:38from my sister's office.
00:34:39Could you be a sweetheart
00:34:40and do that for me?
00:34:43Wow,
00:34:43perfect.
00:34:44You're the best.
00:34:45I'll see you soon.
00:34:47All right,
00:34:47bye.
00:34:47Bye.
00:34:47Bye.

00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:34:48Bye.
00:35:02Are you all right?
00:35:03You seem a lot quieter
00:35:04than usual tonight.
00:35:07Why do you even care?
00:35:11I still don't understand
00:35:12the point of this marriage.
00:35:14I mean,
00:35:15you haven't even
00:35:16touched me,
00:35:17let alone looked at me
00:35:18since we've been sleeping
00:35:18in the same bed.
00:35:19We hardly ever talk.
00:35:21I mean,
00:35:22what is your deal?
00:35:26What is your deal?
00:35:31Touch me?
00:35:35I could have you
00:35:36anytime,
00:35:38anywhere I choose.
00:35:43I've just chosen
00:35:44not to exercise that right.
00:35:45Because you feel
00:35:48you own me?
00:35:49Well,
00:35:50the contract says I do.
00:35:52So,
00:35:53why have you chosen
00:35:53not to?
00:35:56Because I'm not
00:35:57that kind of person.
00:35:58What kind of person
00:35:59are you?
00:36:00I mean,
00:36:00it's like you don't
00:36:01even exist.
00:36:04I do exist.
00:36:06You just don't know
00:36:07who I am.
00:36:09The only person
00:36:10I've ever wanted
00:36:11to genuinely see
00:36:12the real me.
00:36:14But you were too
00:36:14blinded by my
00:36:15poverty
00:36:16to see anything else.
00:36:18Well,
00:36:18and you think
00:36:19subjugating me
00:36:20will change that?
00:36:22I thought I was
00:36:23just doing this
00:36:23for revenge.
00:36:25God,
00:36:26you're so annoying.
00:36:27Why can't anything
00:36:28with you just be
00:36:28simple and straightforward?
00:36:30You might want
00:36:31to save that loud
00:36:32voice of yours.
00:36:34I think I finally
00:36:35decided to exercise
00:36:36my needs.
00:36:37I think I finally
00:36:37decided to exercise
00:36:38my needs.
00:36:41I think I finally
00:36:44decided to exercise
00:36:45my rights.
00:36:46Don't stay away
00:36:47from me.
00:36:48Don't touch me
00:36:49or I will scream.
00:36:52Scream?
00:36:53For who?
00:36:54The police?
00:36:55Miles away.
00:36:57And what would you
00:36:58tell them anyway?
00:36:59That your husband
00:37:00wanted to touch you?
00:37:01I mean it.
00:37:02Don't come any closer!
00:37:04Relax.
00:37:05I don't want
00:37:07to touch you.
00:37:07I just meant
00:37:09I want to hear
00:37:11what's bothering you.
00:37:13If you'll share
00:37:14it with me,
00:37:14of course.
00:37:16But now I'm
00:37:17supposed to believe
00:37:18you care about me
00:37:19after all the games
00:37:19you've been playing?
00:37:20I haven't given
00:37:21you any reason
00:37:22to distrust me.
00:37:23Why would I
00:37:24start now?
00:37:26God,
00:37:27I've never been
00:37:27so confused
00:37:28in my life.
00:37:30Okay, fine.
00:37:32Look,
00:37:32I tried
00:37:34talking to my
00:37:35father
00:37:36about the idea
00:37:37of me marrying
00:37:37a gardener
00:37:38and he just
00:37:40laughed like
00:37:41it was a joke.
00:37:41I can't even
00:37:42imagine what
00:37:42his reaction
00:37:43would be
00:37:43if it came
00:37:44out in the news.
00:37:45He'd probably
00:37:46disown me.
00:37:47Hmm.
00:37:49Well,
00:37:50I can't do
00:37:51anything about
00:37:51your father.
00:37:53But I can give
00:37:54you another two
00:37:54weeks to try
00:37:54to convince him.
00:37:55But the contract
00:37:57won't change.
00:37:59But why
00:38:00would you do
00:38:00that?
00:38:01I have
00:38:03my reasons.
00:38:05Maybe someday
00:38:05soon,
00:38:06everything will
00:38:07make sense.
00:38:18What is taking
00:38:19this bitch so long?
00:38:21Got other shit
00:38:22to do.
00:38:31I don't want you.
00:38:48I don't want you.
00:38:52I don't want you.
00:38:53Gotcha.
00:39:23Hey there, beautiful.
00:39:32Hey.
00:39:33Did you get it?
00:39:35Uh, yeah.
00:39:37Here.
00:39:45You okay?
00:39:46What's wrong?
00:39:47Um, yeah, I'm fine.
00:39:49It's just...
00:39:51You're gonna help Emma, right?
00:39:53Yeah, of course.
00:39:55You know how my sister is.
00:39:56Strong-headed, just like my father.
00:39:58She never would have agreed to fast her up front.
00:40:02You know, there's a lot of space in the back.
00:40:11Here?
00:40:12In public?
00:40:14My sister will never know.
00:40:23Yes, yes, Mr. Rodrigo.
00:40:26Everything's in place to finalize the procurement.
00:40:29Thank you so much for your continual support.
00:40:31I...
00:40:31I am...
00:40:33I'm gonna have to call you back.
00:40:35Kim, top executive, married 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.
00:40:51But...
00:40:52Mrs. George...
00:40:52Kim, shortly after it was announced that she was on the verge of sealing the company's largest contract in her company's history.
00:40:59Many 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.
00:41:09This is how you repay me?
00:41:10It wasn't me.
00:41:11I swear, you gotta believe me.
00:41:12Don't lie to me.
00:41:13You're the only one I told.
00:41:14How did the media get wind of it?
00:41:15Ella, 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 don't know.
00:41:23I wish I knew.
00:41:34You bastard!
00:41:35How could you?
00:41:36How could you do this to me?
00:41:39Emma, you're home early.
00:41:41Is everything alright?
00:41:42No, everything is not alright.
00:41:44How could you do this to me?
00:41:45After you gave me your word, 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.
00:41:54I have to finish up here.
00:41:57No one cares about your stupid plans, Jeff.
00:42:00Just tell me why you did it.
00:42:02Tell me!
00:42:03You should not have done that.
00:42:06You really should not have done that.
00:42:10Oh, what are you going to do?
00:42:13Leak more stuff to the press?
00:42:14I say you already have a pretty good head start on that.
00:42:18What are you talking about?
00:42:20I don't know if this makes sense.
00:42:21Leak 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.
00:42:43But you have completely ruined my life.
00:42:45Emma, I...
00:42:48Hello, Father?
00:42:56I...
00:42:56Oh, no.
00:42:57What am I going to do?
00:43:12What the fuck am I going to do?
00:43:13This is a complete disaster.
00:43:17How about you just calm down, take a few deep breaths.
00:43:19It might not be as bad as you're making it 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 going to say to my father?
00:43:26Fuck.
00:43:29Yeah, this looks grim.
00:43:30But I had nothing to do with this.
00:43:34How about instead of throwing accusations around,
00:43:36I just call the station and ask them who 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 news 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.
00:43:55You'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 nothing.
00:44:06Done.
00:44:09Jonas 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 taste.
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?
00:44:44Well, little sister, it became my business when you decided to embarrass the family name and drag us all through the mud.
00:44:49That's rich.
00:44:51Coming from the guy who's 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.
00:45:35Father?
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?
00:45:50Have 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.
00:46:33This is my client!
00:46:34Is that my agent?
00:46:34What?
00:46:34What?
00:46:38Not anymore.
00:46:40I think it's my client.
00:46:40I think it's my client.
00:46:41But, Father, that's not fair, this is my client!
00:46:53Not anymore.
00:46:54It doesn't matter how Jonas got the account, it is his now.
00:46:56Emmeline, you no longer need to worry about the Anton Corporation account.
00:46:59No, please, don'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!
00:47:12Alright.
00:47:13I will give you one more chance.
00:47:15On one condition.
00:47:17Of course, of course, anything.
00:47:19I want to meet this gardener as yours.
00:47:20I want to know who it is that has stolen my daughter's heart.
00:47:23You 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.
00:47:35I've lost my patience.
00:47:37I am your son.
00:47:39I am your heir.
00:47:40It 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!
00:47:50Mother?
00:47:51Mother, are you okay?
00:47:53Mother, no!
00:47:56Mother!
00:47:58Oh, Em.
00:47:59With that sad look off your face, it's gonna take a lot more than this to bring me down.
00:48:07Father, that's not funny.
00:48:08You shouldn't be speaking.
00:48:09You should be resting.
00:48:10What, you're gonna 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.
00:48:22She 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?
00:48:31Right here, old man.
00:48:37Glad 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.
00:48:45I'm the one that put him in this state-
00:48:47Please, stop this bakery.
00:48:48I really can't cope with it anymore.
00:48:51Sorry, father.
00:48:52Look, since I am temporarily unable to fulfill my role as the head of Castro Enterprises, I will need to appoint a temporary CEO.
00:49:05And Jonas, despite everything you have done, you have proven yourself a worthy candidate, so I will appoint you as CEO temporarily.
00:49:14What? No!
00:49:17This is not a permanent position.
00:49:20I will not make my final decision until I have met your man and seen the contract.
00:49:47Jonas, what are you doing here?
00:49:54Hello, father.
00:49:56Are 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 wellbeing that's a little out of character for you?
00:50:10That's hurtful, father.
00:50:12Your health is of top priority to me.
00:50:14I noticed your pills were running low, so I decided to refill them for you.
00:50:20Would you like to have a look?
00:50:21No, just- just give them to me, please.
00:50:34Well, I should be getting out of your hair.
00:50:37Get well soon, Pops.
00:50:44Well, hey! What's where you're going?
00:50:50Sorry, sister. I didn't see you there. I must have been absent when I did.
00:50:57You're being too nice. What 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?
00:51:07Now I can't check up on my own father?
00:51:09What do you people take me for around here?
00:51:14What are you doing here? And why are you in my seat?
00:51:17Ooh, didn't you hear? I'm in charge now, so technically this is my seat.
00:51:20Do you actually need something? Or did you just come here to gloat?
00:51:24Emma, Emma. You always like to get straight down to business, don't you?
00:51:28Well, let's get to it.
00:51:29Well, let's get to it.
00:51:30You are obligated to report all findings and dealings to the company head.
00:51:34Yet, after looking through all your files, I can't seem to find anything on the Anderson Corporation.
00:51:38Why is that?
00:51:39Why is that?
00:51:40Why do you want the details of the deal?
00:51:41So you can steal my client again, like you did last time?
00:51:43Come on, Emma. Don't be petty.
00:51:44Let'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.
00:51:57Why 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. Don't be petty.
00:52:05I 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 it. I 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.
00:52:39I knew it. I knew you had someone on the inside.
00:52:44Wait.
00:52:45That means that someone's...
00:52:48That fucking bitch!
00:53:01Emma, good.
00:53:02It's Miss Castro to you.
00:53:04Going somewhere?
00:53:05Um, yes.
00:53:06I have something to tell you that...
00:53:08Meaning to tell me what?
00:53:10Exactly.
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.
00:53:25I trusted you and you betrayed me.
00:53:27I 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.
00:53:41Cynthia, 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.
00:53:50I'm sorry.
00:53:51As CEO, I'm responsible for the well-being of all my employees.
00:54:05I'm sure you understand.
00:54:07Interim CEO.
00:54:08Let's see how long you can hold on to that position once father recovers, sweet brother.
00:54:12Oh, Emma, I plan to hold on to this position for a very, very long time.
00:54:32Hey, um, 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.
00:54:41That was a stupid thing to do.
00:54:45I 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, I think it will happen more often.
00:55:01Okay, I know I haven't been the best fake wife to you, but 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, this 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.
00:55:25And 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?
00:55:45I never knew you were an artist.
00:55:47Hmm.
00:55:48There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:55:50I bet.
00:55:51So, can I see it?
00:55:54Why don't you come see?
00:56:01But, but why?
00:56:09It's beautiful.
00:56:11But why would you paint a picture of me?
00:56:14Well, I don't recall it being a crime to paint a picture of a beautiful and fascinating woman.
00:56:22Well, 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, you didn't come all this way to apologize.
00:56:40And I know that look on your face.
00:56:41What'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 fall nil.
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?
00:57:15At 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
00:57:23is if 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.
00:57:31That is a precarious situation.
00:57:40And 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, our goals are aligned.
00:58:03Goals align?
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.
00:58:19I...
00:58:20Cynthia, darling.
00:58:28Wild, long face.
00:58:30We should be celebrating my victory, not sulking.
00:58:32I should have never helped you.
00:58:34Your 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.
00:58:44I 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?
00:59:10What do you mean by that?
00:59:11Everyone 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.
00:59:27My 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.
00:59:40And 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, but clearly they are.
00:59:52And 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.
01:00:08Look, I can't do this.
01:00:14I'm leaving.
01:00:17Where the fuck do you think you're going?
01:00:21Seems you've forgotten your place.
01:00:24Maybe it's time I reminded you.
01:00:28Please, let go.
01:00:31Jonas.
01:00:31You really think you can say whatever the fuck you want and get away with it?
01:00:34Look, I think you're drunk, and I think you just need to get off me, please.
01:00:40Let me remind you, you 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.
01:00:51Blame.
01:00:51I think I need to teach you a lesson.
01:00:54I don't ever forget.
01:00:55You 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.
01:01:17Father?
01:01:19I'm here.
01:01:20You're not alone.
01:01:21I'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.
01:01:36I 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.
01:01:45This man came to me a few years ago, asking for a private meeting to discuss a very important proposal.
01:02:15You're the man I spoke with on the phone?
01:02:29Yes, sir.
01:02:32It's not every day I have a meeting with a total stranger.
01:02:34But you said you had an interesting business proposal.
01:02:37So, what is it?
01:02:38Of course, sir.
01:02:39I understand perfectly.
01:02:41But I said I had an interesting proposal for you.
01:02:44It may not be exactly considered a business proposal.
01:02:48Young man, I don't have time for your silly little word games.
01:02:51So you have five minutes to tell me what the proposal is, or I will have you thrown out.
01:02:56Right down to business.
01:02:58I would like to ask for your daughter Emma's hand in marriage.
01:03:03I'm sorry.
01:03:12I think my hearing must be playing tricks upon me.
01:03:14Could you repeat that for me, please?
01:03:16I said I would like your daughter's hand in marriage.
01:03:21So it seems like my hearing is fine.
01:03:24No, sir.
01:03:24I believe your hearing is still top-notch.
01:03:26So, what makes you think I would go for such a ludicrous idea?
01:03:29Well, I didn't think you'd have a problem with it, since I am the heir to my family's
01:03:33billion-dollar fortune.
01:03:35Is that supposed to impress me?
01:03:37Anyone can claim to be anything these days.
01:03:45That's my family's name, our net worth.
01:03:48We operate several business enterprises, as well as doing philanthropic work.
01:03:52So?
01:03:52A union between your daughter and I would strengthen both our families, galvanizing our position
01:03:57high society, making us a formidable force.
01:04:00I didn't think you'd have a problem with it.
01:04:03Well, 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 marry
01:04:10someone that she didn't choose herself.
01:04:12Well, I believe that's where I come in.
01:04:15How so?
01:04:22So, 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
01:04:31at ease.
01:04:32What exactly are you talking about?
01:04:35I've not had much luck with women in this regard.
01:04:37They always seem to be after me for access to my money.
01:04:41I'm so sick of it.
01:04:43So I intend to disguise myself as a nobody.
01:04:47Are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money, like some pathetic little
01:04:52gold digger?
01:04:52No, no, sir.
01:04:55I just want Emma to get to know me for me, that's all.
01:04:58This is a ridiculous plan.
01:04:59It'll never work.
01:05:01I know.
01:05:02But I'm still willing to try.
01:05:04And if it goes south, no harm done.
01:05:06So what exactly do you want from me?
01:05:08Well, I was hoping you could put in a good word for me.
01:05:11But Emma can't know that you know who I am.
01:05:14Maybe you could say that I'm the son of an old friend.
01:05:16This is a ridiculous plan.
01:05:17I think you just need to leave.
01:05:18It's no secret that you yearn for your daughter to get married to someone worthy from high
01:05:24society.
01:05:25Please just consider the plan.
01:05:27How dare you presume to know me and what it is that I want?
01:05:31Get out!
01:05:32Thank you for your time.
01:05:39If you reconsider, please give me a call.
01:05:44How arrogant.
01:05:47Reminds me of my younger self.
01:05:48Wait, so hang on.
01:05:57What you're trying to tell me is...
01:05:59I've never been poor a day in my life.
01:06:02I just wanted you to see the real me.
01:06:04That's what I was trying to tell you that day in the restaurant.
01:06:06But you wouldn't hear me out.
01:06:08So you just created a fake marriage?
01:06:12A contract marriage?
01:06:13And why not move on to someone else?
01:06:15Contract marriage?
01:06:16But what if I hadn't signed it?
01:06:18What was going to be your next scheme?
01:06:20I told you.
01:06:22You're the only person that I ever wanted to see me for who I was.
01:06:27And it wasn't a sham contract.
01:06:29I would have kept my end of the bargain at the end of the three months.
01:06:34What if I hadn't signed it?
01:06:35What would have your next scheme been?
01:06:37There was no next scheme because I knew you would sign it.
01:06:41How did you know that?
01:06:42Because I know you.
01:06:44Emma, you're willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want.
01:06:49Just like I am.
01:06:51You seem to know a lot about me.
01:06:54I really don't know what's going on here.
01:06:57But Em, if you're willing to accept his marriage proposal,
01:07:01you can have the company.
01:07:04No, father.
01:07:07There's no marriage proposal.
01:07:09There's a web of lies and deceit in this sick man's games.
01:07:14There is now.
01:07:17Emma, you're the only one I've ever wanted.
01:07:20The only one I love.
01:07:22I'm sorry I had to pretend to be someone I wasn't.
01:07:28But, if you're willing to make an honest man out of me,
01:07:32I promise, no more games or half-truths.
01:07:36Emma, will you marry me?
01:07:45Will you marry me?
01:07:46Jeff, you're a very curious human being.
01:07:53But you have been very kind and caring to me over the last few months.
01:07:57And even though I've been a total bitch,
01:08:00I hate to admit it, but I have grown fond of you.
01:08:04So is that a yes?
01:08:05Well, we've already been married for two months.
01:08:08Might as well give it a real shot.
01:08:12Yes!
01:08:12Yes!
01:08:16Oh.
01:08:19Oh, looks like I missed the family reunion.
01:08:22Guess my invitation got lost in the mail.
01:08:25No, Jonas, you're just in the nick of time.
01:08:27Your sister is getting married.
01:08:29Oh, that's wonderful news.
01:08:31I'm not finished.
01:08:33It is also my final decision that she takes over as CEO of Castro Enterprises
01:08:37and that you step down effective immediately.
01:08:41Like hell I will.
01:08:43I'm your son!
01:08:44No son of mine would swap out my medication for a placebo
01:08:47so that I would die faster.
01:08:50Yeah, I knew about that.
01:08:52I might be sick, but I am not senile.
01:08:55I didn't want it to come to this.
01:08:57I don't look something on my mother, Joyce.
01:08:59What are you doing?
01:09:00What the hell are you doing?
01:09:02That's how father, what are you doing?
01:09:04I'm doing what I should have done a long time ago, little sister.
01:09:08Please, that's how father.
01:09:09Just think about what you're doing.
01:09:11Put it down.
01:09:11Step out of the way, Emma.
01:09:22I'm not going to tell you again.
01:09:23No, please.
01:09:24Think about what you're doing.
01:09:25This is our father.
01:09:26Put it down.
01:09:27What the fuck do you think you're doing, Emma?
01:09:29Get out of the way.
01:09:30No.
01:09:30It's okay, Emma.
01:09:31I'll handle this.
01:09:32No, please let me talk to him.
01:09:34Talk to who?
01:09:35This piece of shit?
01:09:36This disgraceful excuse for a man that I'm ashamed to call my son?
01:09:41Your mother was right about you.
01:09:43If you refuse to get out of the way, Emma, then you can go to the grave with him.
01:09:47No, no, no.
01:09:49No.
01:09:51Father.
01:09:53Father, no.
01:09:55No, Father.
01:09:58Father, please, no.
01:10:00Please, call an ambulance.
01:10:04No, call an ambulance.
01:10:05It's too late, Em.
01:10:07It's too late.
01:10:08Father, please.
01:10:09Em, don't worry.
01:10:11It's fine.
01:10:13Know that I'm so proud of you.
01:10:17And your mother would have been so proud of you, too.
01:10:21I'll send her your love.
01:10:24Father, no.
01:10:25No, no.
01:10:28No.
01:10:30No.
