00:00:00Father, what's the meaning of this?
00:00:24How could you do this to me?
00:00:25Well, good morning, Emmeline.
00:00:27I 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.
00:00:36Oh, so you're going to deny it?
00:00:37Denying what? I still have no idea what you're talking about.
00:00:40The rumors going around the company that you're stepping down in three months and you've already named Jonas your successor.
00:00:45So 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.
00:01:00Look, 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?
00:01:11I'm listening.
00:01:12I'm listening. Have a seat.
00:01:22Father, I am certain this is an offer you're going to appreciate.
00:01:26An offer I'm going to appreciate?
00:01:28You're getting married. Great, because we both know you're not getting any younger.
00:01:32What? No, I'm talking about a business proposal, not a marriage.
00:01:36Yeah. Okay, well, what's your business proposal?
00:01:40Okay. So, what if I could secure a partnership with the Anderson Corporation?
00:01:45The Anderson Corporation? I've been trying to land that account for 10 years.
00:01:49It's impossible. It can't be done.
00:01:51I have my ways, Father. I just need you to trust me.
00:01:54Hmm. If it was anybody else, I would say, no.
00:01:59But you're my daughter, and I trust you.
00:02:04But, just to let you know, I am going to be publicly announcing my retirement in three months.
00:02:10So you have three months to change my mind.
00:02:13Um, thank you, but I was hoping just to have a little more time-
00:02:17Three months and not a day more.
00:02:24Fucking hell.
00:02:40I just don't get it.
00:02:41I have sent out a million proposals at this point, and I still have no response.
00:02:51Mail for Miss Sibley and Kestrel?
00:02:52Yes. Thank you.
00:03:03Yes, who is it?
00:03:05Oh, yes, Cynthia. What do you want?
00:03:07Um, I've got mail from the Anderson Corporation.
00:03:09I think they finally responded.
00:03:11What'd they say?
00:03:12Oh, I don't know. It's sealed.
00:03:14Don't you stand there. Read to me.
00:03:15Okay.
00:03:22Oh, my God.
00:03:25This is for Mr. X himself.
00:03:27He's asked me to come meet him at his private residence to discuss the terms of the contract.
00:03:31Oh, my God.
00:03:32It's great news.
00:03:34I'll cancel the rest of your appointments for the afternoon.
00:03:37No, no.
00:03:37No, I don't think that'll be necessary.
00:03:40Why not?
00:03:41I'm not going.
00:03:42What do you mean you're not going?
00:03:52This is the big break you've been waiting for.
00:03:54I know.
00:03:54I know.
00:03:55But does something about this seem off to you?
00:03:59Off?
00:04:00What do you mean off?
00:04:01We've sent out a million proposals, and now suddenly we get a response from Mr. X himself?
00:04:07I guess so, Miss Castro.
00:04:09But what do you have to lose?
00:04:11Honestly, you've been waiting for this.
00:04:14Might as well.
00:04:31Hey, you, Gardner.
00:04:35I'm here to meet Mr. X. Am I in the right place?
00:04:41Do I know you from somewhere?
00:04:44Yes, I imagine you do.
00:04:46I'm...
00:04:46Unimportant.
00:04:47I'm here to meet Mr. X.
00:04:49Is this the place?
00:04:52He's waiting for you.
00:04:53Just through that door and down the hall.
00:05:01I'm here to meet Mr. X.
00:05:31Hello, Omar.
00:05:50Look, 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.
00:05:56I don't think your boss would be too happy with you wearing his clothes and sitting on
00:05:59his expensive couch.
00:06:01You still don't remember me, do you?
00:06:06Remember you?
00:06:18No way.
00:06:19You'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.
00:06:33I imagine this is all a little much for you to take in.
00:06:35This doesn't make any sense.
00:06:40I 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?
00:06:50Cameras.
00:06:51Cameras.
00:06:52Cameras.
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.
00:07:04So 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
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.
00:07:24The door's still open, you're welcome to leave.
00:07:26I'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.
00:07:45But 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-
00:07:54Mm-hmm.
00:07:56I'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 30 times in the past 10 years for this
00:08:11reason alone.
00:08:11What 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 had all that information, and you've still invited me here.
00:08:20So that begs the question, what am I really doing here?
00:08:23Oh, Emma.
00:08:27You're always as intelligent as you are beautiful.
00:08:30Don't patronize me.
00:08:32All right.
00:08:33I won't waste your time.
00:08:35I brought you here to make you an offer.
00:08:37One that could help you secure what you came for.
00:08:47Help me secure what I came for?
00:08:49You mean the contract.
00:08:51Did you come for something else?
00:08:53No.
00:08:53I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
00:08:56So what's the offer?
00:09:00Take it.
00:09:02Open.
00:09:02What is this supposed to be?
00:09:09It's a smart one, Emma.
00:09:10I'm sure you can beat what's on the baby.
00:09:11This is a marriage contract.
00:09:14Look.
00:09:15Between you and me.
00:09:18Contractual terms of the marriage outlined in detail.
00:09:21Contract set to expire in three months.
00:09:24What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?
00:09:28You think I would willingly sell myself into servitude just for a contract?
00:09:34Let's not play games, Emma.
00:09:36I feel they're a waste of time and I don't have much of it to spare.
00:09:39I'm guessing the same is true for you.
00:09:42I know the reason you're here.
00:09:44Or dare I say the motive behind your actions.
00:09:46What matters could 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?
00:10:11Let me know if I missed something.
00:10:12How could you possibly know all this?
00:10:20Down to such detail.
00:10:22In 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.
00:10:31Well, I should get a restraining order against you.
00:10:34I 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?
00:10:47Who are you talking about?
00:10:48I know you.
00:10:49You'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?
00:11:04I know where you live.
00:11:07I have a dozen homes across the state.
00:11:09None of which are in my name.
00:11:12But 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.
00:11:19The 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.
00:11:30But remember, this is a one-time offer.
00:11:35So, decide.
00:11:39Can I at least take some time to go through it carefully and then make a decision?
00:11:47Smart woman.
00:11:47I'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.
00:12:09This asshole must have to be out of his goddamn mind.
00:12:11He wants to turn me into a slave.
00:12:13And 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?
00:12:53You haven't even offered me a seat yet.
00:12:54Now, that's not very nice.
00:12:57Sorry.
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.
00:13:45This 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.
00:13:55Is 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?
00:14:15See, 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.
00:14:53How does that sound?
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?
00:15:06Would that be too much to ask of my little sister?
00:15:09I 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? Will 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?
00:15:34Just like when you were a kid, 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.
00:16:37I 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.
00:16:49Is 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.
00:16:56I 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.
00:17:05What 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.
00:17:49Standing 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?
00:18:04It'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.
00:18:14Stop 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
00:18:22the 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,
00:18:34I 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, aren'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,
00:19:13come and sit down
00:19:13and we'll talk about this man to man.
00:19:24Castro 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
00:19:39to 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?
00:19:46All you are doing
00:19:46is spending our fortune
00:19:48every 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?
00:20:00Jonas,
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, are 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 Castro,
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.
00:20:52I keep forgetting.
00:20:54Bring me that coffee.
00:20:55No worries, Emma.
00:20:58Oh, I forgot to ask you.
00:21:00How do things go with Mr. X?
00:21:02He's obviously not a serial killer.
00:21:04No, he was something worse.
00:21:06He's a psychopath.
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?
00:21:12Sorry, one second.
00:21:14Who could this be?
00:21:15Mr. X sends a message.
00:21:20Time's up.
00:21:23Who is it?
00:21:25Is everything okay?
00:21:26Speak of the devil.
00:21:27Oh.
00:21:45How do you ever
00:21:46expect me to sign this?
00:21:48Do you really think
00:21:48I'm that desperate?
00:21:52I have to be
00:21:53very careful.
00:21:56Even one
00:21:57excess drop
00:21:58could kill her.
00:22:03There.
00:22:05Dumb.
00:22:07Now, what were you saying,
00:22:08my dear?
00:22:09First of all,
00:22:10I am not here, dear.
00:22:11And second of all,
00:22:12do you really expect
00:22:13me to sign this?
00:22:14It's like selling
00:22:14myself into slavery.
00:22:18Are you listening to me?
00:22:19Is this a joke to you?
00:22:22I can hear you.
00:22:23And yelling
00:22:24is not going to
00:22:25help me hear you
00:22:25any better.
00:22:27Yes, that contract
00:22:28in front of you
00:22:29is the equivalent
00:22:29of selling yourself
00:22:30into slavery.
00:22:31Because I will
00:22:32own you for the duration.
00:22:34But,
00:22:35you're under no
00:22:36obligation to sign it.
00:22:37You could walk
00:22:38out of here right now
00:22:39and nobody would
00:22:39stop you.
00:22:41So,
00:22:42the fact of the matter
00:22:43remains,
00:22:44you have a decision
00:22:45to make.
00:22:51Fox,
00:22:51tick.
00:22:59Fine.
00:23:00I'll do it.
00:23:03Fantastic.
00:23:04I knew you had it in you.
00:23:06But,
00:23:06can I just make
00:23:08one request?
00:23:09A request?
00:23:11I don't know
00:23:12if I'll like this.
00:23:14But,
00:23:14go on.
00:23:15Well,
00:23:16the contract stipulates
00:23:17that I have to
00:23:18publicly agree
00:23:19to be marrying
00:23:19a common gardener,
00:23:22not Mr. X.
00:23:23Yes,
00:23:24I remember
00:23:24putting 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,
00:23:31but I think I can
00:23:31bring him around
00:23:32eventually.
00:23:32This could be
00:23:35problematic.
00:23:37But I'll grant it.
00:23:39You have 14 days
00:23:40to convince your father,
00:23:41but no other requests
00:23:43will be granted.
00:23:47Now,
00:23:48shall we proceed?
00:23:49What do you
00:24:00get out of this
00:24:01anyway?
00:24:01Is it
00:24:02some kind of
00:24:03payback or revenge
00:24:04or just a
00:24:05sick thrill?
00:24:07I guess
00:24:08they'll never know.
00:24:11Maybe one day
00:24:12I'll tell you.
00:24:19It's done.
00:24:37Are you happy now?
00:24:38Happy?
00:24:39This is a mutually
00:24:40beneficial arrangement,
00:24:41so don't act like
00:24:42you just did me a favor.
00:24:45Here,
00:24:46let me give you
00:24:47a hand with that.
00:24:47I can do it myself.
00:24:51You're just about done.
00:24:58There.
00:25:00I need to change
00:25:01my 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
00:25:07to start getting
00:25:07comfortable with each other
00:25:08sooner rather than later.
00:25:10We're a happily married
00:25:11couple now, remember?
00:25:12It says so right
00:25:12on the certificate,
00:25:14but I guess
00:25:15we don't have to
00:25:18get comfortable
00:25:18right now.
00:25:20I promise
00:25:21I won't stare.
00:25:28Is this the part
00:25:28where you forced me
00:25:29to sleep with you
00:25:30to consummate
00:25:31our fake marriage?
00:25:32I did not force
00:25:33you to do anything.
00:25:35But if I wish
00:25:36for you to fulfill
00:25:36your marital obligations,
00:25:37I would expect you
00:25:38to do so
00:25:38with a smile
00:25:39on your face.
00:25:44Do we have
00:25:44an understanding?
00:25:56Someday
00:25:56we are going
00:25:57to be together.
00:26:07If you don't
00:26:08have an appointment,
00:26:09please sit down
00:26:10and I'll be
00:26:11with you shortly.
00:26:12I don't think
00:26:13I need an appointment.
00:26:14I pretty much
00:26:15own the company.
00:26:17I am so sorry,
00:26:19Mr. Castro.
00:26:19I didn't see you
00:26:20walk in.
00:26:21It's okay, sweetheart.
00:26:23Have you seen
00:26:23my 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
00:26:29for you
00:26:30and I can get it
00:26:31to her.
00:26:32No, it's fine.
00:26:33I prefer to have
00:26:34my meetings face-to-face
00:26:35if you know
00:26:36what I mean.
00:26:37Just let me know
00:26:38when she comes by,
00:26:39okay?
00:26:40Yes, of course.
00:26:40Yes, of course.
00:26:41You're Emma's
00:26:44personal assistant,
00:26:45right?
00:26:48So, you know
00:26:49a lot about the
00:26:50things that go
00:26:50on around here,
00:26:51right?
00:26:52I mean,
00:26:53I do her schedules,
00:26:54I write her meetings,
00:26:56I get her coffee,
00:26:58I write her proposals
00:26:59while I draft him
00:27:00and then I also
00:27:01I run around
00:27:02all day
00:27:03making sure
00:27:04I am
00:27:05so sorry,
00:27:06Mr. Castro.
00:27:07I kind of
00:27:07start blabbing
00:27:08and then I can't
00:27:09stop and then it just...
00:27:10It's okay, sweetheart.
00:27:12You know,
00:27:12I do have a thing
00:27:12for intelligent women.
00:27:17Why don't I take you
00:27:18on a date?
00:27:20I'll take that
00:27:21as a yes.
00:27:22I'll call you.
00:27:24And remember,
00:27:25my sister can't
00:27:26know about this.
00:27:26Emma,
00:27:39where 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
00:27:58going 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.
00:28:04Close the door.
00:28:05Yeah, close.
00:28:12Alright,
00:28:13what I'm about to say,
00:28:14it has to stay
00:28:16between you and me,
00:28:17okay?
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,
00:28:25the 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?
00:28:44All I can say
00:28:46is
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
00:28:59he'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?
00:29:07Not much.
00:29:08Really,
00:29:09just 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?
00:29:36Yeah,
00:29:36yeah,
00:29:36I'm fine.
00:29:37Did you want me
00:29:39to 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 to say
00:29:48to me,
00:29:48he can say it then.
00:29:51Okay.
00:30:10you look as ravishing
00:30:20as ever,
00:30:21little 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
00:30:28drunk than usual.
00:30:29That's an improvement.
00:30:32Darling sister,
00:30:33might you by any chance
00:30:34be implying in 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.
00:30:47Sorry, father.
00:30:54Father,
00:30:54if I were to tell you
00:30:57I'm getting married,
00:31:00getting 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 in a long,
00:31:07long time.
00:31:08So,
00:31:09who is this
00:31:10mystery man?
00:31:19Well,
00:31:19don't get too excited,
00:31:20it's just a hypothetical
00:31:21question.
00:31:22You really had me
00:31:27going there for a second.
00:31:29I almost took you seriously.
00:31:31What dude would want
00:31:32to get married
00:31:33to boring old you?
00:31:34What did you just say to me?
00:31:36Father,
00:31:36did you hear what
00:31:37he just called me?
00:31:38Sure,
00:31:39go running to daddy.
00:31:41Maybe he'll tuck you in
00:31:42and rock you to sleep too.
00:31:43You're out of line,
00:31:44Jonas.
00:31:45Then why don't you
00:31:46put me in line,
00:31:47Emma?
00:31:47Or do you need
00:31:48daddy's help
00:31:48to do that too?
00:31:49No,
00:31:50I don't need anybody's help.
00:31:50Enough!
00:31:51Enough!
00:31:52Seriously,
00:31:53why must you
00:31:53always beat each 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 you'd
00:32:00take 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 that,
00:32:09Father.
00:32:09That's all right.
00:32:10Now,
00:32:11you were going to
00:32:12tell me about
00:32:12your hypothetical
00:32:13husband.
00:32:15Oh,
00:32:16um,
00:32:17yes,
00:32:18yes,
00:32:18Father.
00:32:19What does
00:32:20your hypothetical
00:32:20husband
00:32:21do?
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,
00:32:31um,
00:32:33a gardener.
00:32:36What?
00:32:36What?
00:32:42He's a gardener.
00:32:43Why are we laughing,
00:32:53father?
00:32:54Your 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 to make you laugh.
00:33:02Yes,
00:33:03and I just,
00:33:04I just wish your mother
00:33:06would have been here to hear it as well.
00:33:07She would have just laughed her head off.
00:33:08So,
00:33:10what 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 talks
00:33:17with the Anderson Corporation
00:33:18and,
00:33:19um,
00:33:19they seem quite receptive.
00:33:21So,
00:33:21I think it's only a matter of weeks
00:33:22before the deal is sealed.
00:33:24Well,
00:33:24that is wonderful news.
00:33:25I'm very proud of you.
00:33:27You know,
00:33:27I actually thought
00:33:28this was an impossible undertaking,
00:33:30but
00:33:30you'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 learn 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,
00:33:46I was able to negotiate
00:33:49a mutually beneficial deal
00:33:50and show them
00:33:51how to increase profits
00:33:52and
00:33:52it was smooth sailing
00:33:54from there.
00:33:55Very impressive.
00:33:56You are clearly
00:33:57going to make
00:33:58an outstanding
00:33:59CEO.
00:34:01Thank you,
00:34:02Father.
00:34:03I was just calling
00:34:28to see if you were free
00:34:29tonight for that date
00:34:30we were talking about.
00:34:31I can pick you up
00:34:31after work.
00:34:32Perfect.
00:34:35Hey,
00:34:35I could really
00:34:36use your 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.
00:35:02Are 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
00:35:18sleeping in the same bed.
00:35:20We hardly ever talk.
00:35:21I mean,
00:35:22what is your deal?
00:35:23What is your deal?
00:35:27What is your deal?
00:35:30Touching?
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.
00:35:47Right,
00:35:47because 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
00:35:54not to?
00:35:56Because I'm not
00:35:57that kind of person.
00:35:58What kind of person
00:36:00are 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.
00:36:18And 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
00:36:29simple and straightforward?
00:36:30You might want to
00:36:31save that loud
00:36:32voice of yours.
00:36:34I think I finally
00:36:35decided to exercise
00:36:36my rights.
00:36:43I think I finally
00:36:44decided to exercise
00:36:45my rights.
00:36:45Don'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.
00:37:06I don't want
00:37:07to touch you.
00:37:09I 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
00:37:17believe you care
00:37:18about me after
00:37:19all 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 ever been
00:37:27so confused
00:37:28in my life.
00:37:30Okay,
00:37:31fine.
00:37:32Look,
00:37:32I tried
00:37:34talking to
00:37:35my father
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
00:37:43his 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.
00:37:49Well,
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
00:37:55to convince him.
00:37:56But the contract
00:37:57won't change.
00:38:00Why would
00:38:00you do that?
00:38:01I have my
00:38:03reasons.
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 get
00:38:47out here.
00:38:49All right.
00:38:51Gotcha.
00:39:21Hey there, beautiful.
00:39:32Hey.
00:39:34Did 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.
00:39:57Strong-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?
00:40:12In public?
00:40:14My sister will never know.
00:40:21Yes, yes, Mr. Rodrigo.
00:40:27Everything'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.
00:40:35She is 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.
00:40:51It has come 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.
00:41:09This is how you repay me?
00:41:10It wasn't me.
00:41:11I swear, you've got to 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've got to 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.
00:41:24You 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. How could you do this to me? After 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. I have to finish up here.
00:41:57No one cares about your stupid plans, Jeff. Just tell me why you did it. Tell me!
00:42:03You should not have done that.
00:42:07You really should not have done that.
00:42:10What are you going to do? Leak more stuff to the press?
00:42:15I say you already have a pretty good head start on that.
00:42:18What are you talking about?
00:42:19I don't know if this makes sense. Leak what to the press?
00:42:22Oh, you don't know. Let me refresh your memory.
00:42:28This is unexpected. But I assure you, I had nothing to do with this.
00:42:32You fucking liar! It has your fingerprints all over it!
00:42:35What would I have to gain from betraying your trust?
00:42:38What would you have to gain?
00:42:39I don't know, Jeff. I don't know why you do anything you do.
00:42:43But you have completely ruined my life.
00:42:46Emma, I...
00:42:50Hello, Father?
00:42:56I...
00:42:56Uh-huh. Yeah.
00:42:57What?
00:42:57What?
00:42:57What?
00:42:58What?
00:42:59What?
00:43:00What?
00:43:01What?
00:43:02What?
00:43:03What?
00:43:04What?
00:43:05What?
00:43:06What?
00:43:07What?
00:43:08What?
00:43:09What am I going to do?
00:43:11What the fuck am I going to do? This is a complete disaster!
00:43:15Fuck!
00:43:16How about you just calm down, take a few deep breaths.
00:43:19It might not be as bad as you're making out to be.
00:43:21Might not...
00:43:22Might not be as bad? Are you fucking kidding me?
00:43:24What am I going to say to my father?
00:43:26Fuck!
00:43:27Yeah, this looks grim.
00:43:30But I had nothing to do with this.
00:43:32How about instead of throwing accusations around, I just call the station
00:43:37and 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.
00:43:44Who the hell are you texting?
00:43:46My accountants.
00:43:47So they can buy the new station and get me the information.
00:43:50You're bluffing.
00:43:51And 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 nothing.
00:44:06Done.
00:44:07Jonas Castro.
00:44:08I believe that's your brother, isn't it?
00:44:14Well, if it isn't the latest bride to be, I 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?
00:44:29To 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?
00:44:44Well, 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.
00:44:55What can I say?
00:44:57I'm the life of the party.
00:44:58You sound confident, like you think you have me beat.
00:45:01But 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.
00:45:20Why don't you go see father?
00:45:22He's been waiting for you.
00:45:28Good luck.
00:45:29You'll need it.
00:45:31Father?
00:45:32Tell me it isn't true.
00:45:33Tell 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's!
00:46:39Not anymore.
00:46:48It 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.
00:46:59No, please.
00:47:00Don't stop me now when I'm so close to the end.
00:47:03My decision is made.
00:47:05Jonas will now be the successor of Castro Enterprises.
00:47:08Oh, Father, please.
00:47:09Please, I'm begging you, don't do this to me.
00:47:11Please.
00:47:12Alright.
00:47:13I will give you one more chance.
00:47:15On one condition.
00:47:17Of course.
00:47:18Of course.
00:47:19Anything.
00:47:20I want to meet this gardener of yours.
00:47:21I want to know who it is that has stolen my daughter's heart.
00:47:25You 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.
00:47:41It 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?
00:47:52Father?
00:47:53Are you okay?
00:47:55Father, no!
00:47:57Father!
00:48:01Oh, Em.
00:48:02With 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.
00:48:19Oh, 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.
00:48:27Just as I am.
00:48:31Where's your brother?
00:48:32Right here, old man.
00:48:38Glad 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!
00:48:48Stop this bickering!
00:48:49I really can't cope with it anymore.
00:48:52Sorry, Father.
00:48:53Look, since I am temporarily unable to fulfill my role as the head of Castro Enterprises, I will need to appoint a temporary CEO.
00:49:06And Jonas, despite everything you have done, you have proven yourself a worthy candidate, so I will appoint you as CEO temporarily.
00:49:15What?!
00:49:17No!
00:49:18This is not a permanent position.
00:49:20I will not make my final decision until I have met your man and seen the contract.
00:49:49Jonas, what are you doing here?
00:49:54Hello, Father.
00:49:56Are you feeling well rested?
00:49:58Do you feel any better?
00:50:00No, not really.
00:50:02About the same.
00:50:04But, uh, why the sudden interest in my wellbeing that's a little out of character for you?
00:50:11That's hurtful, Father.
00:50:13Your health is of top priority to me.
00:50:15I noticed your pills were running low, so I decided to refill them for you.
00:50:21Would 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.
00:50:38Get well soon, Pops.
00:50:45Well, hey! Watch where you're going!
00:50:49Sorry, sister. I didn't see you there. I must have been absent-minded.
00:50:53You're being too nice. What are you up to?
00:50:55What do you mean, what am I up to?
00:50:57I just apologize for almost pushing you over.
00:51:00What are you doing in Father's room?
00:51:02Now I can't check up on my own father?
00:51:05What do you people take me for around here?
00:51:06Jonas?
00:51:07What are you doing here, and why are you in my seat?
00:51:10Ooh, didn't you hear?
00:51:12I'm in charge now, so technically this is my seat.
00:51:15Do you actually need something, or did you just come here to gloat?
00:51:23Emma, Emma, you always like to get straight down to business, don't you?
00:51:27Well, let's get to it.
00:51:29Let's get to it.
00:51:31I'm in charge now, so 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?
00:51:42Well, let's get to it.
00:51:45You are obligated to report all findings and dealings to the company head.
00:51:49Yet, 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. Don'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.
00:52:12Company's best interest, or your best interest, Jonas?
00:52:16Well, I am currently the Chief Executive Officer, so my interest is the company's best interest.
00:52:23Of 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.
00:52:32I don't scurry it. I have people for that. It's the mark of a true leader.
00:52:38You know, you could really learn a thing or two from me, Emma.
00:52:41I knew it. I knew you had someone on the inside.
00:52:42Wait...
00:52:45That means that someone's...
00:52:48That fucking bitch!
00:53:01Emma, good- it's Miss Castro to you.
00:53:04Going somewhere?
00:53:05Um, yes. I have something to tell you that-
00:53:08Meaning to tell me what exactly? That you're a liar?
00:53:12A backstabber? That 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. Have some dignity. I 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. So that's what this is. You sold me out.
00:53:41Cynthia, darling, wait for me in my office. I'll be with you shortly.
00:53:46Emma, it wasn't meant to be like this.
00:53:51I'm sorry.
00:54:01As CEO, I'm responsible for the well-being of all my employees. I'm sure you understand.
00:54:07Interim CEO. Let's see how long you can hold on to that position once father recovers, sweet brother.
00:54:13Oh, Emma. I plan to hold on to this position for a very, very long time.
00:54:22Hey, I really wanted to apologize for the way I treated you and that I doubted you. And I shouldn't have broken your plan. That was a stupid thing to do.
00:54:43I never thought I'd see the day that Emily Castro would apologize.
00:54:49Well, don't get used to it. It's not going to happen again.
00:54:51Actually, scratch that. I think it will happen more often.
00:55:01I know I haven't been the best fake wife to you, but you've been good to me. And you've been kind and patient. And you didn't try and force yourself on me when you could have.
00:55:11Emma, you don't have to.
00:55:12No, please. Just let me finish, okay? This is really hard for me to say. But I also want to apologize for how I've treated you in the past. I've been self-centered and egocentric and I'm sorry.
00:55:27It's okay, Emma. And just so you know, this isn't about revenge.
00:55:34What is it about? I mean, what do you stand to gain from this contract?
00:55:38I can't tell you. Not yet.
00:55:40I figured. Well, can you at least show me what you're painting? I never knew you were an artist.
00:55:48There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:55:50I bet. So, can I see it?
00:55:53Wanna come see?
00:56:01But, but why?
00:56:10It's beautiful, but why would you paint a picture of me?
00:56:15I don't recall it being a crime to paint a picture of a beautiful and fascinating woman.
00:56:23Well, maybe I can see it when it's finished.
00:56:26Maybe. We'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.
00:56:43What's going on?
00:56:44So now you can read my emotions and know when something's wrong?
00:56:49Well, I think I've always been able to do that with you.
00:56:53You 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.
00:57:03How do you know that? That 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,
00:57:12what are you gonna do?
00:57:14At this stage?
00:57:17I 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
00:57:24if he met the man first.
00:57:26But 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.
00:57:33That is a precarious situation.
00:57:39And it would void the contract.
00:57:45But I'll do it.
00:57:47What?
00:57:49What did you just say?
00:57:51I said I'll do it.
00:57:53I'll go with you to see your father.
00:57:55But why would you do that? That doesn't make any sense.
00:57:58All I can say is that in this respect,
00:58:00our goals are aligned.
00:58:01Oh, goals aligned?
00:58:04What goals are you talking about, Jeff?
00:58:06What goals?
00:58:08Don't worry about that now.
00:58:10Everything will make sense soon.
00:58:18We can go right now if you'd like.
00:58:20I'll grab my coat.
00:58:21That will take a tag to be injured.
00:58:22No,
00:58:26Something's wrong about my body.
00:58:28This will be successful.
00:58:29Thank you for letting me see your face, for real reasons.
00:58:31I hope you aren't any new.
00:58:33To have a big battle I'm doing you.
00:58:35I don't even know his family's friends.
00:58:37If you're not myself somebody else, you'll bring me to come to dinner, not the answer.
00:58:40use that information against her and if I did I wouldn't have helped you. All you care about is
00:58:44yourself. I think you've been well compensated for your efforts. A salary bump, a triple promotion.
00:58:51I'd expect you to be more grateful. I'm sorry, I'm grateful, but what's going to happen when
00:58:57your dad wakes up? Is it going to be the same? Who says my father's going to recover?
00:59:10What do you mean by that? Everyone keeps going on and on about how my father's going to recover and
00:59:15all the things that will happen, but my father has a very serious illness and he might not recover and
00:59:21that's just a fact. How could you say that about your own father? I don't think I've said anything
00:59:26out of place. My father is very sick and he might be in bed for a very long time. And I'm sure that
00:59:32would definitely suit your agenda, wouldn't it? Are you accusing me of something? No, Jonah, I'm not
00:59:37accusing you of anything. I just think I chose the wrong side. And what side is that? Look, you're not
00:59:44the man that I thought you were. I heard stories, but I didn't think they were true, but clearly they are.
00:59:53And what stories are those? Tell me the tales of Jonas Castro. Jonas Castro? Well, Jonas Castro loves
01:00:00himself. He's an alcoholic. He's a womanizer. He's just pure evil. That's who Jonas Castro is.
01:00:11Look, I can't do this. I'm leaving.
01:00:17Where the fuck do you think you're going?
01:00:21Seems you've forgotten your voice. Maybe it's time I reminded you.
01:00:25Please, let go. Jonas. You really think you can say whatever the fuck you want and get away with it?
01:00:35Look, 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. Before I came into your life, you were nothing.
01:00:45Please. Please, I'm sorry. Just, I'll forget about it and we can go.
01:00:49No, no, no, no. I think I need to teach you a lesson. And I'll never forget.
01:01:00You seem pretty confident. I guess you've done a lot of stuff like this before.
01:01:05Not really. Any advice on approaching your father?
01:01:08Well, he already doesn't like you, so I guess just be yourself.
01:01:13Let's get this over with.
01:01:14Father, I'm here. You're not alone. I'm with my fiance.
01:01:25That's you.
01:01:28Wait, you two know each other?
01:01:31Your father and I have met. It was a long time ago. I'm surprised he remembers.
01:01:36I never forget a face. Especially one as unique as yours.
01:01:41Wait, hang on. This doesn't make any sense. Someone needs to give me some answers.
01:01:46This man came to me a few years ago, asking for a private meeting to discuss a very important proposal.
01:02:11You're the man I spoke with on the phone?
01:02:28Yes, sir.
01:02:29It's not every day I have a meeting with a total stranger, but you said you had an interesting business proposal. So, what is it?
01:02:38Of course, sir. I understand perfectly. But I said I had an interesting 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 what the proposal is, or I will have you thrown out.
01:02:55Right down to business.
01:02:59I would like to ask for your 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?
01:03:15I said I would like your daughter's hand in marriage.
01:03:20Hmm. So it seems like my hearing is fine.
01:03:23No, sir. I believe your hearing is still top-notch.
01:03:26So, what makes you think I would go for such a ludicrous idea?
01:03:30Well, I didn't think you'd have a problem with it, since I am the heir to my family's billion-dollar fortune.
01:03:35Is that supposed to impress me? Anyone can claim to be anything these days.
01:03:45That's my family's name, our net worth. We 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 in high 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. But even if I were to give this union my blessing,
01:04:08I could never convince my Emmeline to marry someone that she didn't choose herself.
01:04:13Well, I believe that's where I come in.
01:04:14How so?
01:04:22So, how exactly do you plan on wooing my daughter?
01:04:27Well, 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?
01:04:35I've not had much luck with women in this regard. They always seem to be after me for access to my money.
01:04:40I'm so sick of it. So I intend to disguise myself as a nobody.
01:04:46Are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money, like some pathetic little gold digger?
01:04:52No, no, sir. I just want Emma to get to know me for me, that's all.
01:04:58This is a ridiculous plan. It'll never work.
01:05:01I 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?
01:05:08Well, I was hoping you could put in a good word for me. But 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. I 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 society.
01:05:25Please just consider the plan.
01:05:27How dare you presume to know me and what it is that I want. Get out!
01:05:32Thank you for your time. If you reconsider, please give me a call.
01:05:44How arrogant. Reminds me of my younger self.
01:05:56Wait, so hang on. What 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. That'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? A contract marriage? And why not move on to someone else?
01:06:15Contract marriage?
01:06:16But what if I hadn't signed it? What was going to be your next scheme?
01:06:20I told you. You'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.
01:06:32What if I hadn't signed it? What would have your next scheme, Dean?
01:06:37There was no next scheme because I knew you would sign it.
01:06:40How 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.
01:06:48Just like I am.
01:06:49You seem to know a lot about me.
01:06:54I really don't know what's going on here.
01:06:56But Em, if you're willing to accept his marriage proposal, you can have the company.
01:07:04No, father. There's no marriage proposal.
01:07:10Just a web of lies and deceit in this sick man's games.
01:07:14There is now.
01:07:15Emma, you're the only one I've ever wanted.
01:07:21The only one I love.
01:07:24I'm sorry I had to pretend to be someone I wasn't.
01:07:28But if you are willing to make an honest man out of me,
01:07:31I promise, no more games or half-truths.
01:07:36Emma, will you marry me?
01:07:45Will you marry me?
01:07:46I...
01:07:49Jeff, 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,
01:07:59I 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!
01:08:18Oh.
01:08:19Oh, looks like I missed the family reunion.
01:08:22Guess my invitation got lost in the mail.
01:08:24No, Jonas, you're just in the nick of time.
01:08:27Your sister is getting married.
01:08:30Oh, 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,
01:08:38and 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 so 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 like you are of a choice.
01:08:59What are you doing this?
01:09:00Dude, what the hell are you doing?
01:09:02That's how father...
01:09:03What are you doing?
01:09:04I'm doing what I should have done a long time ago, little sister.
01:09:08Hey, please, that's how father...
01:09:09Just think about what you're doing.
01:09:10Put it down.
01:09:11Step out of the way, Emma.
01:09:22I'm not going to tell you again.
01:09:23No, please, think 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?
01:09:28Get out of the way!
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.
01:09:48No.
01:09:49No!
01:09:51Father!
01:09:53Father, no!
01:09:55No, father!
01:09:58Father, please, no!
01:10:02Please, call an ambulance.
01:10:04No, call an ambulance.
01:10:05It's too late, Emma.
01:10:07It's too late.
01:10:08Father, please.
01:10:10Don't worry.
01:10:11It's fine.
01:10:13Know that I'm so proud of you.
01:10:16And your mother would have been so proud of you, too.
01:10:22I'll send her your love.
01:10:23Father, no!
01:10:25No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
