Short filmTranscript
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.
00:05:49Look, I don't know what kind of a sick game you're playing, but you should go back outside
00:05:54and keep raking up leaves.
00:05:55I don't think your boss would be too happy with you wearing his clothes and sitting on
00:05:59his expensive couch.
00:06:01You 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?
00:06:52Cameras?
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.
00:07:08I'm the one you came here to see.
00:07:10Now shall we dispense with the charades and get down to business, or would you care to
00:07:15be hysterical for a few more minutes?
00:07:17Bullshit.
00:07:18You're lying.
00:07:19Just 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.
00:07:34I'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-
00:07:54I've looked at your plan, and I've had my team go through it as well.
00:08:00The simple truth is, your company does not have the resources to manage such a large project,
00:08:05on paper at least.
00:08:06Your 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.
00:08:39Help 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?
00:08:57Take it.
00:09:02Open.
00:09:06What is this supposed to be?
00:09:09You're a smart woman, Emma.
00:09:10I'm sure you can read what's on the paper.
00:09:11This is a marriage contract.
00:09:14Look.
00:09:15Between you and me.
00:09:17Contractual terms of the marriage outlined in detail.
00:09:21Contract 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?
00:09:28What, you think I would willingly sell myself into servitude just for a contract?
00:09:34Let's not play games, Emma.
00:09:35I feel they're a waste of time and I don't have much of it to spare.
00:09:39I'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.
00:10:31I should get a restraining order against you.
00:10:33I wouldn't call it spying when your family's business is always on the news.
00:10:37It's just simple deduction, putting two and two together.
00:10:40And how exactly do you plan to get a restraining order against a man who doesn't exist?
00:10:47Who 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.
00:11:05I have a dozen homes across the state, none of which are in my name.
00:11:12But I think we're getting a little off topic here.
00:11:14You 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?
00:11:21Of course, you could walk away, turn it down, and none of this will have happened.
00:11:31But remember, this is a one-time offer.
00:11:35So, decide.
00:11:39Can I at least take some time to go through it carefully and then make a decision?
00:11:43Smart woman.
00:11:49I'll give you three days to decide.
00:11:51After which, the contract will be withdrawn.
00:11:55And nobody is to know about our little arrangement.
00:11:58Is that clear?
00:12:00Yes.
00:12:07God 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, and for what?
00:12:14Are you hiding something from your baby sister?
00:12:17Hiding?
00:12:18I don't need to hide anything from you.
00:12:20You're always too intoxicated to see clearly anyway.
00:12:23Oh, 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,
00:12:41running 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.
00:12:55Sorry, I 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
00:13:22that you're no longer interested in the position of CEO
00:13:25and 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?
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.
00:13:50Or 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.
00:14:01Politics 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
00:14:13listening 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,
00:14:24let alone running the day-to-day operations
00:14:26of a huge company like this.
00:14:27And even if I'm CEO,
00:14:29you'll still have plenty of money
00:14:30to fund your extravagant lifestyle.
00:14:32So why do you want it?
00:14:36You know what?
00:14:38You're right.
00:14:38I 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
00:14:46and make the big decisions.
00:14:48You'll basically be the one in charge,
00:14:50and I'll just be the pretty face of the company.
00:14:53How does that sound, kid?
00:14:54You're out of your mind, Jonas.
00:14:59So, let me get this straight.
00:15:01Wait, you want me to do all the work around here,
00:15:04and 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,
00:15:11but you need to wake up,
00:15:12because 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
00:15:21while you take my fucking birthright?
00:15:24Well, when last I checked,
00:15:25we 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
00:15:31this sick fantasy of yours?
00:15:34Just like when you were a kid,
00:15:35he wants to just see you get tired out
00:15:37before 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,
00:15:46but 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.
00:15:54But don't come crying to me when things get ugly.
00:15:57Dare I ask,
00:15:58is that a threat I detect?
00:15:59Brother?
00:16:00It's not a very nice way
00:16:01to 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 you...
00:16:09Alright, Cynthia.
00:16:10My brother here was just leaving.
00:16:14This isn't over, little sister.
00:16:16I'll be back.
00:16:17You 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...
00:16:45I'm just not in the right frame of mind right now.
00:16:48I'm sorry to hear that.
00:16:49Is it anything to do with you-know-who?
00:16:51My brother's just being his usual self.
00:16:53He's usually pretty hard to understand.
00:16:56Guess 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 jeans.
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.
00:17:12Uh, but no, it's all right, Cynthia.
00:17:14I think I just need to be alone with my thoughts.
00:17:18Oh, yes, all right.
00:17:20Um, 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.
00:17:30Okay.
00:17:35Father, we 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.
00:17:52But what is the matter
00:17:53and why do you smell like a sewer rat?
00:17:58I've just been working hard all day, Father.
00:18:00Working hard inside a bar?
00:18:01Look, I don't have time for this.
00:18:03What do you want?
00:18:03It's funny how nobody around here
00:18:05ever seems to have time when I'm around.
00:18:08It's like I'm some disease
00:18:09that you all want to keep at arm's length.
00:18:11Jonas, you're a grown man.
00:18:14Stop 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.
00:18:46You can't do this!
00:18:53It's not fair!
00:18:54You can't do this!
00:18:58Wade,
00:18:59you're just trying to teach me a lesson, aren't you?
00:19:03To show me the error of my ways.
00:19:06Well,
00:19:07lesson learned.
00:19:09You didn't have to go this far.
00:19:10Jonas,
00:19:12come and sit down
00:19:13and we'll talk about this
00:19:14man to man.
00:19:24Castro Enterprises
00:19:25is 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?
00:19:59Jonas,
00:20:00I need you.
00:20:02I need you to start
00:20:03earning my respect
00:20:04and my trust,
00:20:05not 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.
00:20:35Who is it?
00:20:45Miss Castro,
00:20:46I have your coffee
00:20:46with two sugars.
00:20:47You're the best.
00:20:48And I told you,
00:20:49you don't need to be
00:20:50so formal with me.
00:20:51Oh, yes.
00:20:52Sorry.
00:20:52Um,
00:20:53I keep forgetting.
00:20:54Bring me that coffee.
00:20:55No worries, Emma.
00:20:58Oh, I, um,
00:20:59I forgot to ask you,
00:21:00how do things go with Mr. X?
00:21:01He's obviously not
00:21:03a serial killer.
00:21:04No,
00:21:05he was something worse.
00:21:06He's a psychopath.
00:21:07Oh,
00:21:08I'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,
00:21:12one second.
00:21:13Who could this be?
00:21:16Mr. 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.
00:21:28Oh.
00:21:28Oh.
00:21:30Oh.
00:21:30Oh.
00:21:31How do you ever expect me
00:21:47to sign this?
00:21:48Do you really think
00:21:48I'm that desperate?
00:21:52I have to be very careful.
00:21:56Even one excess drop
00:21:58could kill her.
00:22:00There.
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 me
00:22:13to sign this?
00:22:14It's like selling myself
00:22:15into 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 help me
00:22:25hear you any better.
00:22:26Yes, 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 own you
00:22:32for the duration.
00:22:34But,
00:22:35you're under no obligation
00:22:36to sign it.
00:22:37You could walk out of here
00:22:38right now
00:22:39and nobody would stop 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 ticket.
00:22:56Fine.
00:23:00I'll do it.
00:23:02Fantastic.
00:23:04I knew you had it in you.
00:23:06But,
00:23:06can I just make
00:23:08one request?
00:23:09A request?
00:23:11I don't know
00:23:12if I'll like this.
00:23:14But go on.
00:23:15Well,
00:23:16the contract stipulates
00:23:17that I have to publicly
00:23:18agree to be marrying
00:23:19a common gardener,
00:23:22not Mr. X.
00:23:23Yes,
00:23:24I remember putting that in.
00:23:25What about it?
00:23:26Well,
00:23:26just if you could
00:23:27give me some time
00:23:28to convince him.
00:23:30He's stubborn,
00:23:31but I think I can
00:23:31bring him around eventually.
00:23:34This could be problematic.
00:23:37But I'll grant it.
00:23:39You have 14 days
00:23:40to convince your father.
00:23:41But no other requests
00:23:43will be granted.
00:23:47Now,
00:23:48shall we proceed?
00:23:55What do you
00:24:00get out of this anyway?
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.
00:24:12Yeah.
00:24:25It'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.
00:24:46Here,
00:24:46let me give you a hand
00:24:47with that.
00:24:47I can do it myself.
00:24:51You're just about done.
00:24:52There.
00:25:00I need to
00:25:01change my clothes.
00:25:02Can you at least
00:25:02turn around
00:25:03and close your eyes
00:25:04or something?
00:25:05I could,
00:25:06but I think we need
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.
00:25:27Is 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 you
00:25:33to do anything.
00:25:35But if I wished
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?
00:25:51some day
00:25:56we are going
00:25:57to be together.
00:25:57If you don't have
00:26:08an appointment
00:26:09please sit down
00:26:10and I'll be with you
00:26:11shortly.
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
00:26:25of her.
00:26:26Um no
00:26:27but I can
00:26:27write down
00:26:29something for you
00:26:30and I can
00:26:31get it to her.
00:26:32No it's fine.
00:26:33I prefer to have
00:26:34my meetings
00:26:34face to face
00:26:35if you know
00:26:36what I mean.
00:26:37Just let me know

00:26:38by okay?
00:26:40Yes of course.

00:31:38Sure.
00:31:39Go running to Daddy.
00:31:41Maybe he'll tuck you in and rock you to sleep too.
00:31:44You're out of line, Jonas.
00:31:45Then why don't you put me in line, Emma?
00:31:47Or do you need Daddy's help to do that too?
00:31:49No, I don't need anybody's help.
00:31:51Enough!
00:31:52Enough!
00:31:53Seriously, why must you always beat each other's throats?
00:31:55Emma might put the knife away.
00:31:57Jonas, you're excused from the table.
00:31:59Of course you'd take her side.
00:32:01I don't know why I bother coming to these dinners anyway.
00:32:07Sorry about that, Father.
00:32:09That's alright.
00:32:10Now, you were going to tell me about your hypothetical husband.
00:32:14Oh, um, yes, yes, Father.
00:32:19What does your hypothetical husband do?
00:32:22He's, um...
00:32:24It's okay, you can tell me.
00:32:26Is he an entrepreneur, a business owner?
00:32:28Uh, no.
00:32:30Well, you see, he, um, a gardener.
00:32:35A what?
00:32:36He's a gardener.
00:32:43Why, why are we laughing, Father?
00:32:53Your joke.
00:32:54It was hilarious.
00:32:55It's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.
00:32:57Oh!
00:32:58Well, you know me, I'm always trying to make you laugh.
00:33:01Yes, and I just, I just wish your mother would have been here to hear it as well.
00:33:06She would have just laughed her head off.
00:33:08So, what is it you really wanted to talk to me about?
00:33:13Oh, um, just that I've opened talks with the Anderson Corporation and, um, they seem quite receptive.
00:33:20So, I think it's only a matter of weeks before the deal is sealed.
00:33:24Well, that is wonderful news.
00:33:25I'm very proud of you.
00:33:26You know, I actually thought this was an impossible undertaking.
00:33:29But you're doing it with exceptional ease.
00:33:34Clearly the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.
00:33:36Thank you, Father.
00:33:37I learn from the best.
00:33:38Well, I would like to know, how did you manage to pull this off?
00:33:45Well, um, I 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.
00:34:08Cynthia, darling, this is Jonas.
00:34:24How are you?
00:34:26Yeah, 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.
00:34:34Hey, 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?
00:34:42Wow, perfect.
00:34:43You're the best.
00:34:44I'll see you soon.
00:34:46Alright, bye.
00:34:48Are you alright?
00:35:03You 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.
00:35:14I mean, you haven't even touched me, let alone looked at me since we've been sleeping in the same bed.
00:35:19We hardly ever talk.
00:35:21I mean, what is your deal?
00:35:26What is your deal?
00:35:30Touch me?
00:35:31I could have you.
00:35:36Anytime.
00:35:37Anywhere I choose.
00:35:39I've just chosen not to exercise that right.
00:35:46Why, because you feel you own me?
00:35:49Well, the contract says I do.
00:35:52So why have you chosen not to?
00:35:55Because I'm not that kind of person.
00:35:58Well, what kind of person are you?
00:36:00I mean, it's like you don't even exist.
00:36:03I do exist.
00:36:06You just don't know who I am.
00:36:08The only person I've ever wanted to genuinely see the real me.
00:36:13But you were too blinded by my poverty to see anything else.
00:36:18Well, and you think subjugating me will change that?
00:36:22I thought I was just doing this for revenge.
00:36:24Oh God, you're so annoying.
00:36:27Why can't anything with you just be simple and straightforward?
00:36:30You might want to save that loud voice of yours.
00:36:34I think I've finally decided to exercise my rights.
00:36:43I think I've finally decided to exercise my rights.
00:36:46No, stay away from me.
00:36:48Don't touch me or I will scream.
00:36:52Scream?
00:36:53For who?
00:36:54The police?
00:36:55Miles away.
00:36:58And what would you tell them anyway?
00:36:59That your husband wanted to touch you?
00:37:01I mean it.
00:37:02Don't come any closer!
00:37:04Relax.
00:37:06I don't want to touch you.
00:37:09I just meant I want to hear what's bothering you.
00:37:13If you'll share it with me, of course.
00:37:16But now I'm supposed to believe you care about me after all the games you've been playing?
00:37:21I haven't given you any reason to distrust me.
00:37:23Why would I start now?
00:37:25God, 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 gardener and he just laughed like it was a joke.
00:37:41I can't even imagine what his reaction would be if it came out in the news.
00:37:45He'd probably disown me.
00:37:46Hmm.
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.
00:37:56But the contract won't change.
00:38:00Why would you do that?
00:38:02I have my reasons.
00:38:04Maybe someday soon everything will make sense.
00:38:07Makes sense.
00:38:18What is taking this bitch so long?
00:38:21Got other shit to do.
00:38:37what is taking this bitch in my sexy fat picture?
00:38:40Molti.
00:38:44Eiet, yeah, I got onto cute.
00:38:49Yeah.
00:38:53Shit.
00:38:54I have somećµć¤ćŗ here.
00:38:56I didn't know whose idea is.
00:39:01Hel ģ£¼ģøģ.
00:39:03And that doesn't look like when you're not even?".
00:39:04Gotcha.
00:39:30Hey 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 fast her up front.
00:40:02Okay.
00:40:03You know, there's a lot of space in the back.
00:40:11Here?
00:40:12In public?
00:40:14My sister will never know.
00:40:15No.
00:40:15Yes, 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...
00:40:34I'm gonna have to call you back.
00:40:35Breaking news.
00:40:36Breaking 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 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.
00:40:59Many question her judgment and the impact this union would have on her family name.
00:41:05And in other news...
00:41:07I trusted you.
00:41:09This is how you repay me?
00:41:10It wasn't me.
00:41:11I swear, you gotta believe me.
00:41:12Don't lie to me.
00:41:13You're the only one I told.
00:41:14How did the media get wind of it?
00:41:15Emma, I would never betray you.
00:41:17You gotta believe me.
00:41:19If you didn't leak the information, then who did?
00:41:21I don't know.
00:41:23I wish I knew.
00:41:34You bastard!
00:41:35How could you?
00:41:36How could you do this to me?
00:41:39Emma, you're home early.
00:41:41Is everything alright?
00:41:42No!
00:41:43Everything is not alright.
00:41:44How could you do this to me?
00:41:45After you gave me your word, you betrayed me!
00:41:48I'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.
00:42:07You really should not have done that.
00:42:10What are you gonna do?
00:42:13Leak more stuff to the press?
00:42:15And say you already have a pretty good head start on that?
00:42:17What are you talking about?
00:42:20I don't know if this makes sense.
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.
00:42:45Emma, I...
00:42:48Hello?
00:42:55Father?
00:42:56Hello?
00:42:56Hello?
00:42:57Hello?
00:42:57Hello?
00:42:57Hello?
00:43:01What the fuck am I gonna do?
00:43:04What the fuck am I going to do, this is a complete disaster!
00:43:16How about you just calm down, take a few deep breaths.
00:43:20It might not be as bad as you're making out to be.
00:43:22Might not be as bad, are you fucking kidding me?
00:43:24What am I going to say to my father?
00:43:28Yeah, this looks grim, but I had nothing to do with this.
00:43:34How about instead of throwing accusations around, I just call the station and ask them who gave them the information.
00:43:40Even if you could do that, they would never tell you.
00:43:43Give me a sec.
00:43:45Who the hell are you texting?
00:43:47My accountants, so they can buy the new station and get me the information.
00:43:51You're bluffing, and even if you could do that, that would take forever to arrange.
00:43:55You'd be surprised how quickly you can get things done when you're Mr. X.
00:43:59This is a waste of my time. I just have to face my father and talk to him once and for all.
00:44:05Thanks for nothing.
00:44:06Done.
00:44:10Jonas Castro.
00:44:12I 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. How 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. Why don't you mind your own business and butt out?
00:44:44Well, little sister, it became my business when you decided to embarrass the family name and drag us all through the mud.
00:44:50That's rich. Coming from the guy whose depraved lifestyle gets him in the media every weekend.
00:44:55What can I say? I'm the life of the party.
00:44:58You sound confident, like you think you have me beat.
00:45:02But I'm the one who's about to close the biggest deal in the company's history.
00:45:05You know our father better than anyone. He 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? You 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? He's been waiting for you.
00:45:27Good luck. You'll need it.
00:45:35Father?
00:45:36Tell 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.
00:45:46Em, of all the men in the world, you choose a mere commoner, a gardener?
00:45:50Have you no self-respect? Have 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? You're actively bringing shame to this family and you expect me to trust you?
00:46:02Father, please.
00:46:04Who is this man? What is he doing to manipulate you like this? Are you being blackmailed? Are 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? What 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.
00:46:32This is my client.
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.
00:47:00No, no, please. Don't stop me now when I'm so close to the end.
00:47:04My decision is made. Jonas will now be the successor of Castro Enterprises.
00:47:08Oh, Father, please, please, I'm begging you, don't do this to me, please.
00:47:12Alright. I will give you one more chance. On one condition.
00:47:17Of course, of course, anything.
00:47:19I want to meet this gardener as yours. I want to know who it is that has stolen my daughter's heart.
00:47:23You 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. I 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?
00:47:53Father, no! Father!
00:48:01Oh, 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.
00:48:10What, you're going to start treating me like a vegetable now? The doctor said all I need to do is take those tablets and I'll be as right as rain.
00:48:17Oh, darling. You're looking more and more like your mother. She would have been so proud of you and the woman you've become. Just as I am.
00:48:29Where's your brother?
00:48:31Right here, old man.
00:48:37Glad to see you're still kicking. For a moment there I thought you-
00:48:40Don't you fucking dare. You did this to him.
00:48:43So 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.
00:48:51Sorry, 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.
00:49:05And 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!
00:49:17M, this is not a permanent position. I will not make my final decision until I have met your man and seen the contract.
00:49:35M, this is not a permanent position. I will not make my final decision.
00:49:50Jonas, what 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. But, uh, why the sudden interest in my wellbeing that's a little out of character for you?
00:50:10That's hurtful, Father. Your health is of top priority to me. I noticed your pills were running low, so I decided to refill them for you. Would you like to have a look?
00:50:22No, just- just give them to me, please. Thank you.
00:50:28Well, I should be getting out of your hair. Get well soon, Pops.
00:50:50Well, 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?
00:51:11Jonas? What are you doing here, and why are you in my seat?
00:51:28Ooh, didn't you hear? I'm in charge now, so technically this is my seat.
00:51:34Do you actually need something, or did you just come here to gloat?
00:51:39Emma, Emma. You always like to get straight down to business, don't you?
00:51:43Well, let's get to it.
00:51:45You are obligated to report all findings and dealings to the company head.
00:51:49Yet, after looking through all your files, I can't seem to find anything on the Anderson Corporation.
00:51:55Why is that?
00:51:57Why do you want the details of the deal? So you can steal my client again like you did last time?
00:52:03Come on, Emma. Don't be petty. I finalized a contract that was sitting on your desk for weeks.
00:52:09It's all in the company's best interest.
00:52:11Company's best interest? Or your best interest, Jonas?
00:52:14Well, 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.
00:52:28I 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.
00:52:37You 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.
00:52:44Wait. That means that someone's-
00:52:48That fucking bitch!
00:53:01Emma, 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?
00:53:11A 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.
00:53:27I hardly think this is appropriate workplace behavior, little sister.
00:53:31I could have you sanctioned for assaulting my personal assistant.
00:53:34Your personal assistant. So that's what this is. You sold me out.
00:53:40Cynthia darling, wait for me in my office. I'll be with you shortly.
00:53:44Emma, it wasn't meant to be like this. I'm sorry.
00:54:01As 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.
00:54:17Oh, Emma. I plan to hold on to this position for a very, very long time.
00:54:22Hey, um, I really wanted to apologize for the way I treated you and that I doubted you.
00:54:39And I shouldn't have broken your plan. That was a stupid thing to do.
00:54:43I 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 going to happen again.
00:54:54Actually, scratch that. I think, I think it will happen more often.
00:55:01Okay. I know I haven't been the best fake wife to you, but you've been good to me.
00:55:07And you've been kind and patient and you didn't try and force yourself on me when you could have.
00:55:12Emma, you don't have to.
00:55:14No, please, just let me finish, okay? This is really hard for me to say.
00:55:19But I also want to apologize for how I've treated you in the past.
00:55:23I've been self-centered and egocentric and I'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?
00:55:37I can't tell you. Not yet.
00:55:40I figured.
00:55:42Well, can you at least show me what you're painting?
00:55:45I never knew you were an artist.
00:55:48Hmm. There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:55:50I bet.
00:55:52So, can I see it?
00:55:54Want to come see?
00:56:00But, but why?
00:56:03It's beautiful, but why would you paint a picture of me?
00:56:14Well, I don't recall it being a crime to paint a picture of a beautiful and fascinating woman.
00:56:20Well, maybe I can see it when it's finished.
00:56:24Maybe. We'll see.
00:56:31Emma.
00:56:33I know you just, you didn't come all this way to apologize.
00:56:39And I know that look on your face.
00:56:42What's going on?
00:56:44So now you can read my emotions and know when something's wrong?
00:56:48Well, I think I've always been able to do that with you.
00:56:50You pat your lips every time you're worried.
00:56:55I also know that your father's fallen ill.
00:56:59And that your brother's taking control of the company.
00:57:02Well, how 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, what are you going to do?
00:57:12At this stage, I don't know.
00:57:14My father said the only way he'd even entertain the idea of me getting married to a gardener is if he met the man first.
00:57:26But I know the contract I signed says that I can't do that, so I guess you could say I'm out of options.
00:57:30Hmm.
00:57:37That is a precarious situation.
00:57:40And 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.
00:57:52I'll go with you to see your father.
00:57:55But 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?
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.
00:58:17We can go right now if you'd like.
00:58:19I'll grab my coat.
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, and if I did, I wouldn't have helped you.
00:58:43All you care about is yourself.
00:58:44I think you've been well compensated for your efforts.
00:58:48A salary bump, a triple promotion.
00:58:51I'd expect you to be more grateful.
00:58:53I'm sorry. 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?
00:59:01My 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, and all the things that will happen.
00:59:17But my father has a very serious illness, and he might not recover, and that's just a fact.
00:59:22How could you say that about your own father?
00:59:25I don't think I've said anything out of place.
00:59:26My father is very sick, and he might be in bed for a very long time.
00:59:32And I'm sure that would definitely suit your agenda, wouldn't it?
00:59:35Are you accusing me of something?
00:59:36No, Jonah. I'm not accusing you of anything. I just think I chose the wrong side.
00:59:41And what side is that?
00:59:43Look, you're not the man that I thought you were.
00:59:46I heard stories, but I didn't think they were true, but clearly they are.
00:59:53And what stories are those?
00:59:54Tell me the tales of Jonas Castro.
00:59:57Jonas Castro?
00:59:59Well, Jonas Castro loves himself.
01:00:01He's an alcoholic.
01:00:02He's a womanizer.
01:00:03He's just pure evil.
01:00:06That's who Jonas Castro is.
01:00:11Look.
01:00:13I can't do this.
01:00:15I'm leaving.
01:00:17Where the fuck do you think you're going?
01:00:19What are you doing?
01:00:21Seems you've forgotten your voice.
01:00:24Maybe it's time I reminded you.
01:00:28Please.
01:00:29Let go.
01:00:31Jonas.
01:00:32You really think you can say whatever the fuck you want and get away with it?
01:00:35Look, I think you're drunk.
01:00:37And I think you just need to-
01:00:39Get off me, please.
01:00:40Let me remind you.
01:00:41You were just a pawn in all of this.
01:00:43Before I came into your life, you were nothing.
01:00:45Please.
01:00:47Please, I'm sorry.
01:00:48Just, I'll forget about it and we can go.
01:00:50No, no, no, no.
01:00:51Please.
01:00:52I think I need to teach you a lesson.
01:00:54And I'll never forget.
01:00:55You seem pretty confident.
01:00:58I guess you've done a lot of stuff like this before.
01:01:01Not really.
01:01:03Any advice on approaching your father?
01:01:05Well, he already doesn't like you.
01:01:07So I guess just be yourself.
01:01:09Let's get this over with.
01:01:11Father?
01:01:13I'm here.
01:01:15You're not alone.
01:01:16I'm with my fiance.
01:01:18I'm here.
01:01:20You're not alone.
01:01:22I'm with my fiance.
01:01:23That's you.
01:01:28Wait, you two know each other?
01:01:31Your father and I have met.
01:01:33It was a long time ago.
01:01:34I'm surprised he remembers.
01:01:36I never forget a face.
01:01:38Especially one as unique as yours.
01:01:41Wait, hang on.
01:01:43This doesn't make any sense.
01:01:44Someone needs to give me some answers.
01:01:46This man came to me a few years ago.
01:01:50Asking for a private meeting.
01:01:53To discuss a very important proposal.
01:01:54To discuss a very important proposal.
01:02:00ŠæŠ»Š¾Ń
,
01:02:01I'm sorry.
01:02:03I'm sorry.
01:02:04You're the man I spoke to the people.
01:02:06I'm not even sure.
01:02:08I'm sorry.
01:02:09But who's wrong?
01:02:10How do you feel?
01:02:11When are you feeling the same?
01:02:12In those words?
01:02:13I know that, you know, it could be so.
01:02:14You're the same.
01:02:15But who was wrong?
01:02:16You are the same.
01:02:17But you're the same.
01:02:18I can tell you.
01:02:19You're the same.
01:02:20What is this?
01:02:22You're the same?
01:02:23You're the man I spoke with on the phone?
01:02:29Yes, sir.
01:02:32It's not every day I have a meeting with a total stranger,
01:02:34but you said you had an interesting business proposal, so what is it?
01:02:38Of course, sir. I understand perfectly.
01:02:41But I said I had an interesting proposal for you.
01:02:44It may not be exactly considered a business proposal.
01:02:47Young man, I don't have time for your silly little word games,
01:02:51so you have five minutes to tell me what the proposal is, or I will have you thrown out.
01:02:56Right down to business.
01:02:59I would like to ask for your daughter Emma's hand in marriage.
01:03:11I'm sorry. I think my hearing must be playing tricks on me.
01:03:14Could you repeat that for me, please?
01:03:16I said I would like your daughter's hand in marriage.
01:03:21Hmm. So it seems like my hearing is fine.
01:03:24No, 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?
01:03:37Anyone can claim to be anything these days.
01:03:39That's my family's name, our net worth.
01:03:48We operate several business enterprises, as well as doing philanthropic work.
01:03:52So?
01:03:53A union between your daughter and I would strengthen both our families,
01:03:56galvanizing our position in high society, making us a formidable force.
01:04:00I didn't think you'd have a problem with it.
01:04:02Well, I see you've done your research.
01:04:05But even if I were to give this union my blessing,
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.
01:04:15How so?
01:04:15So, 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.
01:04:37They always seem to be after me for access to my money.
01:04:41I'm so sick of it.
01:04:43So I intend to disguise myself as a nobody.
01:04:47Are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money, like some pathetic little gold digger?
01:04:53No, no, sir.
01:04:55I just want Emma to get to know me for me, that's all.
01:04:58This is a ridiculous plan. It'll never work.
01:05:01I know.
01:05:02But I'm still willing to try.
01:05:04And if it goes south, no harm done.
01:05:06So what exactly do you want from me?
01:05:08Well, I was hoping you could put in a good word for me.
01:05:10But 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.
01:05:26How dare you presume to know me and what it is that I want.
01:05:31Get out!
01:05:34Thank you for your time.
01:05:39If you reconsider, please give me a call.
01:05:44How arrogant.
01:05:47Reminds me of my younger self.
01:05:48Wait, so hang on.
01:05:57What you're trying to tell me is...
01:05:59I've never been poor a day in my life.
01:06:02I just wanted you to see the real me.
01:06:04That's what I was trying to tell you that day in the restaurant.
01:06:06But you wouldn't hear me out.
01:06:08So you just created a fake marriage?
01:06:12A contract marriage?
01:06:13And why not move on to someone else?
01:06:15Contract marriage?
01:06:16But what if I hadn't signed it?
01:06:18What was going to be your next scheme?
01:06:20I told you.
01:06:22You're the only person that I ever wanted to see me for who I was.
01:06:27And it wasn't a sham contract.
01:06:29I would have kept my end of the bargain at the end of the three months.
01:06:34What if I hadn't signed it?
01:06:35What would have your next scheme, Dean?
01:06:37There was no next scheme because I knew you would sign it.
01:06:41How did you know that?
01:06:43Because I know you.
01:06:44Emma, you're willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want.
01:06:49Just like I am.
01:06:51You seem to know a lot about me.
01:06:54I really don't know what's going on here.
01:06:57But Em, if you're willing to accept his marriage proposal,
01:07:02you can have the company.
01:07:04No, Father.
01:07:07There's no marriage proposal.
01:07:09Just a web of lies and deceit in this sick man's games.
01:07:14There is now.
01:07:17Emma, you're the only one I've ever wanted.
01:07:20The only one I love.
01:07:22I'm sorry I had to pretend to be someone I wasn't.
01:07:28But, if you're willing to make an honest man out of me,
01:07:32I promise, no more games or half-truths.
01:07:36Emma, will you marry me?
01:07:45Will you marry me?
01:07:46Jeff, you're a very curious human being.
01:07:53But you have been very kind and caring to me over the last few months.
01:07:57And even though I've been a total bitch,
01:08:01I hate to admit it, but I have grown fond of you.
01:08:04So is that a yes?
01:08:05Well, we've already been married for two months.
01:08:08Might as well give it a real shot.
01:08:12Yes!
01:08:12Yes!
01:08:16Oh.
01:08:19Oh, looks like I missed the family reunion.
01:08:22Guess my invitation got lost in the mail.
01:08:25No, Jonas, you're just in the nick of time.
01:08:27Your sister is getting married.
01:08:30Oh, 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
01:08:37and that you step down effective immediately.
01:08:41Like hell I will.
01:08:43I'm your son!
01:08:44No son of mine would swap out my medication for a placebo
01:08:48so 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 want someone to have no other choice.
01:08:59What are you doing?
01:09:01Dude, 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.
01:09:08Please, that's how father...
01:09:09Just think about what you're doing.
01:09:11Put it down.
01:09:20Step out of the way, Emma.
01:09:22I'm not going to tell you again.
01:09:23No, please.
01:09:24Think about what you're doing.
01:09:25This is how father...
01:09:26Put it down.
01:09:27What the fuck do you think you're doing, Emma?
01:09:29Get out of the way!
01:09:30No!
01:09:30It's okay, Emma.
01:09:31I'll handle this.
01:09:32No, please let me talk to him.
01:09:34Talk to who?
01:09:35This piece of shit?
01:09:37This 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,
01:09:45then you can go to the grave with him.
01:09:48No, no, no.
01:09:49No!
01:09:50No!
01:09:50No!
01:09:51Mother!
01:09:53My mother, no!
01:09:55No, mother!
01:09:56Mother!
01:09:58Mother, please, no!
01:10:02Please, call an ambulance!
01:10:04No, call an ambulance!
01:10:06It's too late, Emma.
01:10:07It's too late.
01:10:08Mother, please.
