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