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