00:00:00Father? What's the meaning of this? How could you do this to me?
00:00:03Well, good morning, Emmeline. I see you're in a great mood again.
00:00:06After everything I've done for you, the family, the company, this is how you reward me?
00:00:11Calm down and let me know what you're saying.
00:00:13Oh, so you're going to deny it?
00:00:15Denying what? I still have no idea what you're talking about.
00:00:17The rumors going around the company that you're stepping down in three months
00:00:20and you've already named Jonas your successor.
00:00:22So that's what this drama is about?
00:00:24Yes.
00:00:25Yeah, it's true.
00:00:26That's ridiculous. Jonas can't take care of himself, let alone a whole company.
00:00:30I mean, all he does is spend his money on partying and women
00:00:33and I'm the one who actually does the work.
00:00:35Yes, 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
00:00:42so that he too can succeed.
00:00:44Well, what if I make you an author, one you can't refuse?
00:00:49I'm listening.
00:00:51Have a seat.
00:00:52Father, I am certain this is an offer you're going to appreciate.
00:00:54An offer I'm going to appreciate?
00:00:55You're getting married. Great, because we both know you're not getting any younger.
00:00:57What? No, I'm talking about a business proposal, not a marriage.
00:01:13Oh. Okay, well what's your business proposal?
00:01:16Okay, so what if I could secure a partnership with the Anderson Corporation?
00:01:22The Anderson Corporation? I've been trying to land that account for 10 years.
00:01:26It's impossible. It can't be done.
00:01:29I have my ways, Father. I just need you to trust me.
00:01:32Hmm. If it was anybody else, I would say no.
00:01:36No. But you're my daughter and I trust you.
00:01:41But, 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.
00:02:06Three months and not a day more.
00:02:16Fucking hell. I just don't get it. I have sent out a million proposals at this point.
00:02:22And I still had no response.
00:02:29Mail for Mr. Belline-Kestrel?
00:02:31Yes. Thank you.
00:02:36Yes, who is it?
00:02:42Yes, Cynthia. What do you want?
00:02:44Um, 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.
00:02:51Don't you stand there. Read to me.
00:02:53Oh my god. This is for Mr. X himself. He's asking me to come meet him at his private residence to discuss the terms of the contract.
00:03:09Oh my god. It's great news. I'll cancel the rest of your appointments for the afternoon.
00:03:14No. No, I don't think that'll be necessary.
00:03:17Why not?
00:03:18I'm not going.
00:03:20What do you mean you're not going? This is the big break you've been waiting for.
00:03:32I know. I know. But does something about this seem off to you?
00:03:37Off? What do you mean off?
00:03:39You've sent out a million proposals. And now suddenly we get a response from Mr. X himself?
00:03:45I guess so, Ms. Castro. But what do you have to lose? Honestly, you've been waiting for this. Might as well.
00:04:02Hey you, Gardner. I'm here to meet Mr. X. Am I in the right place? Do I know you from somewhere?
00:04:21Yes, I imagine you do. I'm-
00:04:24Unimportant. I'm here to meet Mr. X. Is this the place?
00:04:29He's waiting for you. Just through that door and down the hall.
00:04:33Okay.
00:04:34Okay.
00:04:35Okay.
00:04:36Okay.
00:04:37Okay.
00:04:38Okay.
00:04:39Okay.
00:04:40Okay.
00:04:41Okay.
00:04:42Okay.
00:04:43Okay.
00:04:44Okay.
00:04:45Okay.
00:04:46Okay.
00:04:47Okay.
00:04:48Okay.
00:04:49Okay.
00:04:50Okay.
00:04:51Okay.
00:05:21Okay.
00:05:22Okay.
00:05:23Okay.
00:05:24Okay.
00:05:25Okay.
00:05:26Okay.
00:05:27Okay.
00:05:28Okay.
00:05:29I don't know what kind of a sick game you're playing, but you should go back outside and
00:05:33keep 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
00:05:39couch.
00:05:40You still don't remember me, do you?
00:05:44Remember you?
00:05:51No way, you're Jeff?
00:05:52In the flesh.
00:05:53You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:05:54You haven't answered my question.
00:05:55What's going on here?
00:05:56Well, you arranged a meeting with Mr. X, so here we are.
00:05:57I imagine this is all a little much for you to take in.
00:05:58This doesn't make any sense.
00:06:00I just saw you outside pruning plants and now you're giving me a glass of whiskey.
00:06:01Is this a prank?
00:06:02Are there cameras?
00:06:03No.
00:06:04No.
00:06:05No.
00:06:06No.
00:06:07No.
00:06:08No.
00:06:09No.
00:06:10No.
00:06:11No.
00:06:12No.
00:06:13No.
00:06:14No.
00:06:15No.
00:06:16No.
00:06:17No.
00:06:18No.
00:06:19No.
00:06:20No.
00:06:21No.
00:06:22No.
00:06:23No.
00:06:24No.
00:06:25No.
00:06:26No.
00:06:27No.
00:06:28If you left, no.
00:06:30I can't Chair.
00:06:31No, no.
00:06:32I know you're giving me a glass of whiskey.
00:06:33Is this a prank?
00:06:34Are there cameras?
00:06:35Cameras?
00:06:36I don't much care for intrusive technology.
00:06:37And I don't think it's a crime for a man who tend his own garden.
00:06:38I get a lot of satisfaction from doing it myself.
00:06:39It's therapeutic.
00:06:41So, what you're trying to tell me is-
00:06:44I'm Mr. X.
00:06:46I'm the one you came here to see.
00:06:46Now shall we dispense with the charades and get down to business or would you care to be
00:06:52successful?
00:06:53hysterical for a few more minutes.
00:06:55Bullshit. You're lying.
00:06:57Just admit it and stop playing games.
00:06:59You don't have to believe me.
00:07:01I'm not trying to convince you. The door's still open.
00:07:03You're welcome to leave.
00:07:13I've gotta say, this looks really good.
00:07:17One of the best proposals I've read in a while, in fact.
00:07:19I 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.
00:07:27Are you sure you can manage such resources?
00:07:29But I have a detailed project plan, and I...
00:07:33I'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.
00:07:43On paper, at least.
00:07:45Your 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?
00:07:52You've been rejected so many times before.
00:07:54You've had all that information, and you've still invited me here.
00:07:58So that begs the question, what am I really doing here?
00:08:02Oh, Emma.
00:08:05You're always as intelligent as you are beautiful.
00:08:08Don't patronize me.
00:08:10Alright. I won't waste your time.
00:08:12I brought you here to make you an offer.
00:08:15One that could help you secure what you came for.
00:08:22Help 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.
00:08:34So 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 what's on the baby.
00:08:50This is a marriage contract.
00:08:52Between you and me.
00:08:54Contractual terms of the marriage outlined in detail.
00:08:58Contract set to expire in three months.
00:09:00What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?
00:09:06Would you think I would willingly sell myself into servitude just for a contract?
00:09:12Let's not play games, Emma.
00:09:14I feel they're a waste of time and I don't have much of it to spare.
00:09:17I'm guessing the same is true for you.
00:09:20I 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.
00:09:33Or 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.
00:09:49Let me know if I missed something.
00:09:56How 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. Well, 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?
00:10:25What are you talking about? I know you. You're sitting right in front of me.
00:10:29What 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.
00:10:44I have a dozen homes across the state, none of which are in my name.
00:10:49But I think we're getting a little off topic here.
00:10:52Do you have a contract in front of you that can make all of your dreams come true?
00:10:56The question is, do you have the balls to take it?
00:11:01Of course, you could walk away, turn it down, and none of this will have happened.
00:11:08But remember, this is a one-time offer.
00:11:11So, decide.
00:11:15Can I at least take some time to go through it carefully, and then make a decision?
00:11:25Smart woman.
00:11:27I'll give you three days to decide.
00:11:30After which, the contract will be withdrawn.
00:11:34And nobody is to know about our little arrangement. Is that clear?
00:11:38Yes.
00:11:45Goddammit.
00:11:46This asshole must have to be out of his goddamn mind.
00:11:49He wants to turn me into a slave, and for what?
00:11:52Are you hiding something from your baby sister?
00:11:55Hiding?
00:11:56I don't need to hide anything from you.
00:11:58You're always too intoxicated to see clearly anyway.
00:12:01Oh, Emma.
00:12:02You never miss an opportunity to have a go at me, do you?
00:12:05It's bad enough I always have pops on my back.
00:12:07On your back?
00:12:08You're clearly his favorite.
00:12:10I mean, he gives you everything on a gulp platter, and you just take it for granted.
00:12:14You 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.
00:12:22What are you doing here, Jonas?
00:12:24I know you didn't just come to say hi.
00:12:26I have a lot to get done today.
00:12:27What?
00:12:28I can't just come check up on my little sister?
00:12:30You haven't even offered me a seat yet.
00:12:32Now that's not very nice.
00:12:34Sorry.
00:12:35I just have a lot going on.
00:12:37Have a seat.
00:12:46This is a nice office you have here.
00:12:48But, uh, 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?
00:12:57Well, 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?
00:13:18With a cute little smile on my face?
00:13:20I could do a sad face if you like.
00:13:22This is ridiculous.
00:13:24I don't have time for this.
00:13:25I have work to do.
00:13:26I don't have time for your games.
00:13:27Or maybe you don't have a shot at winning.
00:13:29And you might get yourself hurt.
00:13:32Is that a threat, big brother?
00:13:34A threat?
00:13:35I'm just trying to look out for you, kiddo.
00:13:38Politics can be a dirty game.
00:13:40Well, thank you so much for your concern, Jonas.
00:13:43I really appreciate it.
00:13:44But I've made up my mind.
00:13:46I'm not chickening out.
00:13:48You've always had a hard time listening to simple instructions, haven't you?
00:13:53See, here's what bothers me.
00:13:56Why do you even want it, anyway?
00:13:59I mean, you barely have enough time for yourself, let alone running the day-to-day operations of a huge company like this.
00:14:05And even if I'm CEO, you'll still have plenty of money to fund your extravagant lifestyle.
00:14:10So why do you want it?
00:14:13You know what?
00:14:15You're right.
00:14:16I don't have time to manage any of this.
00:14:19Which is why I want to make you second-in-command.
00:14:22You'll get to manage all the day-to-day operations and make the big decisions.
00:14:26You'll basically be the one in charge, and I'll just be the pretty face of the company.
00:14:30How does that sound?
00:14:32You're out of your mind, Jonas.
00:14:37So, let me get this straight.
00:14:39You want me to do all the work around here, and you just get to take the credit?
00:14:43Would 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?
00:14:57You 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.
00:15:07You 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.
00:15:16I'm just trying to save you from all that stress.
00:15:19Again, thank you for your concern, brother. It's deeply appreciated. But I'll have to pass on your offer.
00:15:26Fine. If you won't hear the voice of reason, so be it. But don't come crying to me when things get ugly.
00:15:34Dare I ask, is that a threat I detect, brother? It's not a very nice way to talk to your little sister, is it?
00:15:41You know, you're lucky I-
00:15:42Emma, you asked me to remind you of, um...
00:15:46I'm sorry, I didn't realize you, Cynthia. My brother here was just leaving.
00:15:51This isn't over, little sister. I'll be back.
00:16:08You have something for me?
00:16:09Oh, yeah, your, um, three o'clock appointment. You told me to remind you when Al Klein is here.
00:16:15I tried to buzz you, but you didn't answer.
00:16:17Sorry, Cynthia. I guess I was just a bit distracted.
00:16:20Um, can we reschedule that meeting for later in the week? I'm just not in the right frame of mind right now.
00:16:25I'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?
00:16:36Tell me about it. I also have an insufferable brother who doesn't look as good in those chains.
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.
00:16:56Oh, 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.
00:17:19Clearly 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.
00:17:27Standing around knocking on doors felt like a waste of time.
00:17:30Right, but 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.
00:17:47It's like I'm some disease that you all want to keep at arm's length.
00:17:50Jonas, 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?
00:18:03Seems 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.
00:18:15No. You can't do that. You can't do that!
00:18:21Oh, can't I? Just watch me.
00:18:26You can't do this! It's not fair! You can't do this!
00:18:37Wait, you're just trying to teach me a lesson, aren't you?
00:18:41To show me the error of my ways.
00:18:45Well, lesson learned. You didn't have to go this far.
00:18:50Jonas, come and sit down and we'll talk about this man to man.
00:18:56Castro Enterprises is a family business that has been 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?
00:19:23All you are doing is spending our fortune every nickel, penny and dime.
00:19:27I 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 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.
00:19:53You know what, father?
00:19:55You're right.
00:19:57I'll do just that.
00:19:59Thank you for setting me on the right path.
00:20:02As always, I won't disappoint you.
00:20:06I promise.
00:20:07Who is it?
00:20:23Ms. Castro, I have you a coffee with two sugars.
00:20:26You're the best.
00:20:27And I told you, you don't need to be so formal with me.
00:20:29Oh, yes, sorry.
00:20:31I keep forgetting.
00:20:32Bring me that coffee.
00:20:33No worries, Emma.
00:20:35Oh, I forgot to ask you, how do things go with Mr. X?
00:20:40He's obviously not a serial killer.
00:20:42No, he was something worse.
00:20:44He's a psychopath.
00:20:46I'm sorry to hear that.
00:20:47So does that mean you're not going to go ahead with the project?
00:20:50Sorry, one second.
00:20:52Who could this be?
00:20:55Mr. X sends a message.
00:20:58Time's up.
00:21:02Who is it?
00:21:03Is everything okay?
00:21:04Speak of the devil.
00:21:05Oh.
00:21:23How do you ever expect me to sign this?
00:21:25Do you really think I'm that desperate?
00:21:27I have to be very careful.
00:21:30Even one excess drop could kill her.
00:21:42There.
00:21:43Dumb.
00:21:45Now what were you saying, my dear?
00:21:47First of all, I am not here, dear.
00:21:48And second of all, do you really expect me to sign this?
00:21:51It's like selling myself into slavery.
00:21:53Are you listening to me?
00:21:55Is this a joke to you?
00:21:57I can hear you.
00:21:59And yelling is not going to help me hear you any better.
00:22:01Yes, that contract in front of you is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery.
00:22:05Because I will own you for the duration.
00:22:06But, you're under no obligation to sign it.
00:22:07You could walk out of here right now and nobody would stop you.
00:22:08So, the fact of the matter remains.
00:22:10You have a decision to make.
00:22:12Fox ticket.
00:22:13Fine.
00:22:14I'll do it.
00:22:16Fantastic.
00:22:17I knew you had to be a good person.
00:22:18I'm sorry.
00:22:19I'm sorry.
00:22:20You're under no obligation to sign it.
00:22:21You could walk out of here right now and nobody would stop you.
00:22:23So, the fact of the matter remains.
00:22:24You have a decision to make.
00:22:30Fox ticket.
00:22:37Fine.
00:22:38I'll do it.
00:22:40Fantastic.
00:22:41I knew you had it in you.
00:22:44But, can I just make one request?
00:22:47A request?
00:22:50I 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.
00:23:02Yes, I remember putting that in. What about it?
00:23:04Well, just if you could give me some time to convince him.
00:23:07He's stubborn, but I think I can bring him round eventually.
00:23:12This could be problematic.
00:23:16But I'll grant it.
00:23:18You have 14 days to convince your father.
00:23:20But no other requests will be granted.
00:23:25Now, shall we proceed?
00:23:27What 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.
00:23:49Maybe one day I'll tell you.
00:23:50One day I'll tell you.
00:23:51It's done. Are you happy now?
00:23:52Happy? This is a mutually beneficial arrangement. So don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:23:56Here, let me give you a hand with that.
00:23:57Happy? This is a mutually beneficial arrangement. So don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:24:07Here, let me give you a hand with that.
00:24:10I could do it myself. Thank you.
00:24:11You're just about done.
00:24:12There.
00:24:13I need to change my clothes.
00:24:15I'm just about done.
00:24:17I'm just about done.
00:24:18It's done.
00:24:20I'm just about done.
00:24:22I'm just about done.
00:24:24It's done.
00:24:25You're just about done.
00:24:27It's done.
00:24:28Are you happy now?
00:24:30Happy? This is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:24:32So don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:24:34Here, let me give you a hand with that.
00:24:36I can do it myself. Thank you.
00:24:37I need to change my clothes.
00:24:40Can you at least turn around and close your eyes or something?
00:24:43I could.
00:24:44But 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.
00:24:59I 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 wished 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?
00:25:22Do we have an understanding?
00:25:34Someday we are gonna be together.
00:25:35If 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.
00:25:53I 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.
00:26:12I prefer to have my meetings face to face, if you know what I mean.
00:26:16Just let me know when she comes by, okay?
00:26:18Yes, of course.
00:26:20You'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...
00:26:43I 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.
00:26:50You 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.
00:27:00I'll call you.
00:27:02And remember, my sister can't know about this.
00:27:04Ella!
00:27:05Where have you been? I haven't seen you in two days. Are you okay?
00:27:18You look terrible, no offense.
00:27:19Yeah, sorry. I just had a lot going on, that's all.
00:27:21Yeah, yeah, of course. Do you care to tell me?
00:27:24Right. Close the door.
00:27:26Yeah, close.
00:27:27All right, what I'm about to say, it has to stay between you and me, okay? It needs to be confidential.
00:27:28Yes, yes, of course, you can trust me.
00:27:29All right, I'm sorry.
00:27:30And I can't see you.
00:27:31No, no, no.
00:27:32I can't see you.
00:27:33It's okay.
00:27:34I can't see you.
00:27:35I'm sorry.
00:27:36I'm sorry.
00:27:37I can't see you.
00:27:38I can't see you.
00:27:39I can't see you.
00:27:41I can't see you.
00:27:42Close the door.
00:27:43Yeah, close.
00:27:50Alright, what I'm about to say, it has to stay between you and me, okay?
00:27:55It needs to be confidential.
00:27:56Yes, yes, of course, you can trust me.
00:27:58I know.
00:27:59Sometimes I feel like you're the only one I can trust.
00:28:02So, 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? Where did you get married? How?
00:28:21All I can say is I've married a gardener.
00:28:26I even have a marriage contract to prove it.
00:28:28I'm supposed to make an announcement in two weeks' time,
00:28:31but 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.
00:28:49Yeah.
00:28:50He's always up to something.
00:28:52Did 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.
00:29:15Um, did you want me to call him for you?
00:29:18I can let him know and maybe leave a note and he could-
00:29:21No, it's fine.
00:29:22I'm seeing him tonight for a family dinner, so whatever he has to say to me, he can say it then.
00:29:28Okay.
00:29:43You 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?
00:30:15Now that wouldn't be very nice, would it?
00:30:17I'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.
00:30:26Sorry, father.
00:30:32Father, if I were to tell you I'm getting married-
00:30:38getting married to a man. How would you feel about that?
00:30:41Well, that would be wonderful news.
00:30:43The best news I've heard in a long, long time.
00:30:46So, who is this mystery man?
00:30:57Well, 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.
00:31:09What 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-
00:31:28Enough! Enough!
00:31:30Seriously, why must you always be in each other's throats? Emma-Line, put the knife away!
00:31:34Jonas, you're excused from the table.
00:31:37Of course you'd take her side.
00:31:39I don't know why I bother coming to these dinners anyway.
00:31:46Sorry about that, father.
00:31:47That's alright.
00:31:48Now, you were going to tell me about your hypothetical husband.
00:31:53Oh, um, yes. Yes, father.
00:31:57What does your hypothetical husband do?
00:32:00He's, um...
00:32:03It's okay, you can tell me. Is he an entrepreneur? A business owner?
00:32:07Uh, no. Well, you see, he, um...
00:32:11A gardener.
00:32:13A what?
00:32:18Uh, why 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.
00:32:48So...
00:32:49What is it you really wanted to talk to me about?
00:32:52Oh, um...
00:32:54Just that I've opened talks with the Anderson Corporation and, um...
00:32:57They seem quite receptive.
00:32:59So, I think it's only a matter of weeks before the deal is sealed.
00:33:02Well, 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 learn from the best.
00:33:17Well, 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.
00:33:29Showed them how to increase profits, and...
00:33:31It was smooth sailing from there.
00:33:33Very impressive.
00:33:34You are clearly going to make an outstanding CEO.
00:33:38Thank you, father.
00:34:01Cynthia, darling. This is Jonas. How are you?
00:34:04Yeah, I'm good.
00:34:06I 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.
00:34:13Hey, 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?
00:34:20Wow, perfect. You're the best.
00:34:23I'll see you soon.
00:34:25Alright, bye.
00:34:40Are you alright?
00:34:41You seem a lot quieter than usual tonight.
00:34:44Why do you even care?
00:34:49I still don't understand the point of this marriage.
00:34:52I mean, you haven't even touched me, let alone looked at me since we've been sleeping in the same bed.
00:34:57We hardly ever talk.
00:34:59I mean, what is your deal?
00:35:01What is your deal?
00:35:05Touching?
00:35:06I could have you anytime, anywhere I choose.
00:35:20I've just chosen not to exercise that right.
00:35:24What, because you feel you own me?
00:35:27Well, the contract says I do.
00:35:30So why have you chosen not to?
00:35:33Because 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.
00:35:40I do exist.
00:35:41I do exist.
00:35:43You just don't know who I am.
00:35:46The only person I've ever wanted to genuinely see the real me.
00:35:51But you were too blinded by my poverty to see anything else.
00:35:56Well, 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?
00:36:08You might want to save that loud voice of yours.
00:36:11I think I finally decided to exercise my rights.
00:36:15No, stay away from me.
00:36:26Don't touch me or I will scream.
00:36:29Scream?
00:36:31For who?
00:36:32The police?
00:36:33Miles away.
00:36:34And what would you tell them anyway?
00:36:37That your husband wanted to touch you?
00:36:39I mean it.
00:36:40Don't come any closer!
00:36:41Relax.
00:36:42I don't...
00:36:44I don't want to touch you.
00:36:46I just meant I want to hear what's bothering you.
00:36:51If you'll share it with me, of course.
00:36:53But now I'm supposed to believe you care about me after all the games you've been playing?
00:36:58I haven't given you any reason to distrust me.
00:37:01Why would I start now?
00:37:03God, I've ever been so confused in my life.
00:37:08Okay, fine.
00:37:10Look, I tried talking to my father about the idea of me marrying a gardener and he just laughed like it was a joke.
00:37:19I can't even imagine what his reaction would be if it came out in the news.
00:37:23He'd probably disown me.
00:37:25Hmm.
00:37:26Well, I can't do anything about your father.
00:37:30But I can give you another two weeks to try to convince him.
00:37:34But the contract won't change.
00:37:37But why would you do that?
00:37:39I have my reasons.
00:37:42Maybe someday soon everything will make sense.
00:37:45What is taking this bitch so long?
00:37:59Got other shit to do.
00:38:15I'm happy.
00:38:16Just..
00:38:17I'll be crying.
00:38:18I'm happy.
00:38:19I can't do it.
00:38:21You don't like you?
00:38:23I do need a question.
00:38:24I feel good.
00:38:26I don't know.
00:38:27I feel good.
00:38:29I'm happy.
00:38:30I feel good.
00:38:32They don't know if it can be a little bit.
00:38:34I feel good.
00:38:35I feel good.
00:38:36What would you do?
00:38:37I feel good.
00:38:38I feel good.
00:38:39I feel good.
00:38:40I feel good about you.
00:38:42I feel good.
00:38:43I feel good.
00:38:44Grinshaw.
00:39:08Hey there, beautiful.
00:39:10Hey.
00:39:11Did you get it?
00:39:13Uh, yeah.
00:39:15Here.
00:39:23You okay?
00:39:24What's wrong?
00:39:25Um, yeah, 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.
00:39:34Strong-headed, just like my father.
00:39:36She never would have agreed to fast her up front.
00:39:40Okay.
00:39:41You know, there's a lot of space in the back.
00:39:49Here?
00:39:50In public?
00:39:52My sister will never know.
00:39:53No.
00:39:53Yes, yes, Mr. Rodrigo.
00:40:04Everything'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.
00:40:13Mr. Rodrigo.
00:40:30Mr. Rodrigo.
00:40:31I'm gonna have to call you back.
00:40:32And then she was on the verge of sealing the company's largest contract in her company's
00:40:37history.
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.
00:41:21Everything 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.
00:41:44You really should not have done that.
00:41:48What are you gonna do?
00:41:51Leak more stuff to the press?
00:41:52I 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.
00:42:01Let 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?
00:42:15What would you have to gain?
00:42:17I don't know, Jeff.
00:42:18I don't know why you do anything you do.
00:42:21But you have completely ruined my life.
00:42:23Emma, I...
00:42:27Hello?
00:42:33Father?
00:42:33I...
00:42:34What 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.
00:42:57It might not be as bad as you're making 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, I 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.
00:43:22Who the hell are you texting?
00:43:24My accountants, so they can buy the news station and get me the information.
00:43:28You're bluffing. And even if you could do that, that would take forever to arrange.
00:43:32You'd be surprised how quickly you can get things done when you're Mr. X.
00:43:36This is a waste of my time. I just have to face my father and talk to him once and for all.
00:43:42Thanks for nothing.
00:43:44Done.
00:43:47Jonas 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?
00:44:07To be fair, I was surprised as well.
00:44:10I thought you would have had better taste.
00:44:12But 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. Why 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.
00:44:27That'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. But I'm the one who's about to close the biggest deal in the company's history.
00:44:43You know our father better than anyone. He would never condone any of this. Plus, you're not the only one that can cut big deals for the company.
00:44:51Oh, 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. Why don't you go see father? He's been waiting for you.
00:45:05Good luck. You'll need it.
00:45:13Father?
00:45:14Tell me it isn't true. Tell me this is just another media stunt designed to ruin this family's reputation.
00:45:19Father, 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? Have you no self-respect? Have 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?
00:45:40Father, please.
00:45:41Who is this man?
00:45:42What is he doing to manipulate you like this? Are you being blackmailed? Are you pregnant?
00:45:47Once I seal the deal with the Anderson Corporation, I promise you it'll all make sense.
00:45:52I'm afraid that will no longer be necessary.
00:45:55What? What do you mean?
00:45:56While you were busy gardening, your brother came to me with a proposal that I could not refuse.
00:46:02A proposal?
00:46:04Open it.
00:46:05Open it.
00:46:10This is my client!
00:46:16Not anymore.
00:46:17But, 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.
00:46:37Oh, please! Don't stop me now when I'm so close to the end!
00:46:41My 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!
00:46:49Alright. I will give you one more chance. On one condition.
00:46:54Of course! Of course! Anything!
00:46:56I want to meet this gardener of yours. I want to know who it is that has stolen my daughter's heart.
00:47:02You can't do this, Father! You simply just can't!
00:47:05She would disgrace the family name and you would condone it?
00:47:08Jonas, how dare you speak to me like that? Have you lost your mind?
00:47:11No, Father. I've lost my patience.
00:47:14I 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 cup!
00:47:28Father? Father, are you okay?
00:47:33Father, no! Father!
00:47:35Father!
00:47:39Oh, Em. With that sad look off your face, it's gonna take a lot more than this to bring me down.
00:47:44Father, that's not funny. You shouldn't be speaking. You should be resting.
00:47:48What, you're gonna start treating me like a vegetable now?
00:47:50The 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.
00:48:00She would have been so proud of you and the woman you've become. Just as I am.
00:48:08Where's your brother?
00:48:09Right here, old man.
00:48:15Glad 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!
00:48:20So 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 bickering. I really can't cope with it anymore.
00:48:29Sorry, Father.
00:48:32Look, since I am temporarily unable to fulfill my role as the head of Castro Enterprises,
00:48:39I 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?!
00:48:54No!
00:48:55Em, this is not a permanent position.
00:48:58I will not make my final decision until I have met your man and seen the contract.
00:49:19I will not make my final decision.
00:49:20I will not make my final decision.
00:49:21I will not make my final decision.
00:49:22I will not make my final decision.
00:49:27Jonas, 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.
00:49:40But, uh, why the sudden interest in my wellbeing that's a little out of character for you?
00:49:48That's hurtful, Father. Your health is of top priority to me.
00:49:53I 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.
00:50:28Well, hey! Watch where you're going!
00:50:29Sorry, sister. I didn't see you there. I must have been absent-minded.
00:50:34You're being too nice. What are you up to?
00:50:37What 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?
00:50:44Now I can't check up on my own father?
00:50:47What do you people take me for around here?
00:50:59Jonas?
00:51:00What are you doing here, and why are you in my seat?
00:51:06Ooh, didn't you hear? I'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.
00:51:22You are obligated to report all findings and dealings to the company head, yet after looking through all your files, I can't seem to find anything on the Anderson Corporation.
00:51:34Why is that?
00:51:36Why do you want the details of the deal? So you can steal my client again like you did last time?
00:51:40Come on, Emma. Don't be petty. I finalized a contract that was sitting on your desk for weeks. It's all in the company's best interest.
00:51:49Company's best interest? Or your best interest, Jonas?
00:51:53Well, I am currently the Chief Executive Officer, so my interest is the company's best interest.
00:52:01Of course, you never did tell me how you got the details of the contract in the first place.
00:52:06I never pegged you as someone who was scurrying around like a rat.
00:52:11I don't scurry it. I have people for that. It's the mark of a true leader.
00:52:15You 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. That means that someone's...
00:52:26That fucking bitch!
00:52:36Emma, good. It's Ms. Castro to you. Going somewhere?
00:52:44Um, yes. I have something to tell you that...
00:52:47Meaning to tell me what exactly? That you're a liar? A 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...
00:52:57Don't lie to me. Have some dignity. I trusted you and you betrayed me.
00:53:05I hardly think this is appropriate workplace behavior, little sister.
00:53:09I could have you sanctioned for assaulting my personal assistant.
00:53:13Your personal assistant. So that's what this is. You sold me out.
00:53:17Cynthia, darling, wait for me in my office. I'll be with you shortly.
00:53:23Emma, it wasn't meant to be like this.
00:53:28I'm sorry.
00:53:30As CEO, I'm responsible for the well-being of all my employees. I'm sure you understand.
00:53:44Interim CEO. Let's see how long you can hold on to that position once father recovers, sweet brother.
00:53:54Oh, Emma. I plan to hold on to this position for a very, very long time.
00:53:59Hey, um, I really wanted to apologize for the way I treated you and that I doubted you.
00:54:18And I shouldn't have broken your plan. That was a stupid thing to do.
00:54:21I never thought I'd see the day that Emily and Castro would apologize.
00:54:27Well, don't get used to it. It's not gonna happen again.
00:54:32Actually, scratch that. I think... I think it will happen more often.
00:54:38Look, I know I haven't been the best fake wife to you, but you've been good to me.
00:54:44And 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. Just let me finish, okay?
00:54:55This 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.
00:55:05It's okay, Emma. And just so you know, this isn't about revenge.
00:55:12What is it about? I mean, what do you stand to gain from this contract?
00:55:16I can't tell you. Not yet.
00:55:18I figured.
00:55:20Well, can you at least show me what you're painting? I 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?
00:55:33But... but why?
00:55:48It's beautiful, but 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.
00:56:16And I know that look on your face.
00:56:20What'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.
00:56:37And 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?
00:56:50At this stage?
00:56:51I don't know.
00:56:53My 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, but I know the contract I signed says that I can't do that, so I guess you could say I'm out of options.
00:57:08Hmm.
00:57:15That is a precarious situation.
00:57:18And it would void the contract.
00:57:23But 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, I think.
00:57:41Goals align?
00:57:42What goals are you talking about, Jeff?
00:57:44What goals?
00:57:46Don't worry about that now.
00:57:47Everything will make sense soon.
00:57:55We can go right now if you'd like.
00:57:57I'll grab my coat.
00:58:05Cynthia, darling.
00:58:06Wild long face.
00:58:07We 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.
00:58:17I didn't realize you were going to use that information against her and if I did I wouldn't have helped you.
00:58:21All you care about is yourself.
00:58:22I think you've been well compensated for your efforts.
00:58:26A salary bump.
00:58:27A 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?
00:58:39What do you mean by that?
00:58:40Everyone 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 and 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.
00:59:10And I'm sure that would definitely suit your agenda, wouldn't it?
00:59:13Are you accusing me of something?
00:59:15No, 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.
00:59:27And what stories are those? Tell me the tales of Jonas Castro.
00:59:35Jonas Castro? Well, Jonas Castro loves himself, he's an alcoholic, he's a womanizer, he's just pure evil.
00:59:44That's who Jonas Castro is.
00:59:49Look, I can't do this. I'm leaving.
00:59:53Where the fuck do you think you're going?
00:59:59Seems you've forgotten your place. Maybe it's time I reminded you.
01:00:06Please, let go. Jonas.
01:00:10You really think you can say whatever the fuck you want and get away with it?
01:00:12Look, I think you're drunk and 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. Please, I'm sorry. Just, I'll forget about it and we can go.
01:00:28No, no, no, no.
01:00:29Blame.
01:00:30You seem pretty confident. I guess you've done a lot of stuff like this before.
01:00:42Not really. Any advice on approaching your father?
01:00:46Oh, he already doesn't like you. So I guess just be yourself.
01:00:49Let's get this over with.
01:00:53Father.
01:00:56I'm here.
01:00:58You're not alone. I'm with my fiancƩ.
01:01:02That's you.
01:01:04Wait, you two know each other?
01:01:08Your father and I have met. It was a long time ago. I'm surprised he remembers.
01:01:12I never forget a face. Especially one as unique as yours.
01:01:19Wait, hang on. This doesn't make any sense. Someone needs to give me some answers.
01:01:24This man came to me a few years ago asking for a private meeting to discuss a very important proposal.
01:01:42You're the man I spoke with on the phone?
01:02:07Yes, sir.
01:02:08It's not every day I have a meeting with a total stranger, but you said you had an interesting business proposal. So, what is it?
01:02:16Of course, sir. I understand perfectly.
01:02:19But I said I had an interesting proposal for you. It may not be exactly considered a business proposal.
01:02:26Young man, I don't have time for your silly little word games, so you have five minutes to tell me what the proposal is, or I will have you thrown out.
01:02:34Right down to business.
01:02:35I would like to ask for your daughter Emma's hand in marriage.
01:02:41I'm sorry. I think my hearing must be playing tricks on me. Could you repeat that for me, please?
01:02:54I said I would like your daughter's hand in marriage.
01:02:58Hmm. So it seems like my hearing is fine.
01:03:01No, sir. I believe your hearing is still top-notch.
01:03:04So, what makes you think I would go for such a ludicrous idea?
01:03:07Well, I didn't think you'd have a problem with it, since I am the heir to my family's billion-dollar fortune.
01:03:12Is that supposed to impress me? Anyone can claim to be anything these days.
01:03:17That's my family's name, our net worth. We operate several business enterprises, as well as doing philanthropic work.
01:03:29So?
01:03:30A union between your daughter and I would strengthen both our families. Galvanizing our position in high society, making us a formidable force. I didn't think you'd have a problem with it.
01:03:40Well, I see you've done your research. But even if I were to give this union my blessing, I could never convince my Emmeline to marry someone that she didn't choose herself.
01:03:50Well, I believe that's where I come in.
01:03:52How so?
01:03:59So, how exactly do you plan on wooing my daughter?
01:04:04Well, in all honesty, sir, it's not a very good plan, but it's one that sets my heart at ease.
01:04:09What exactly are you talking about?
01:04:12I've not had much luck with women in this regard. They always seem to be after me for access to my money.
01:04:19I'm so sick of it. So 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 gold digger?
01:04:30No, no, sir. I just want Emma to get to know me for me, that's all.
01:04:35This is a ridiculous plan. It'll never work.
01:04:37I know. But I'm still willing to try. And if it goes south, no harm done.
01:04:44So what exactly do you want from me?
01:04:45Well, I was hoping you could put in a good word for me. But Emma can't know that you know who I am.
01:04:51Maybe you could say that I'm the son of an old friend.
01:04:53This is a ridiculous plan. I think you just need to leave.
01:04:55It's no secret that you yearn for your daughter to get married to someone worthy from house society.
01:05:02Please just consider the plan.
01:05:04How dare you presume to know me and what it is that I want. Get out!
01:05:09Thank you for your time. If you reconsider, please give me a call.
01:05:19How arrogant. Reminds me of my younger self.
01:05:34Wait, so hang on. What you're trying to tell me is...
01:05:37I've never been poor a day in my life. I just wanted you to see the real me.
01:05:42That's what I was trying to tell you that day in the restaurant. But you wouldn't hear me out.
01:05:46So you just created a fake marriage? A contract marriage? And why not move on to someone else?
01:05:53Contract marriage?
01:05:55But what if I hadn't signed it? What was going to be your next scheme?
01:05:58I told you. You're the only person that I ever wanted to see me for who I was.
01:06:05And it wasn't a sham contract. I would have kept my end of the bargain at the end of the three months.
01:06:12What if I hadn't signed it? What would have your next scheme been?
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. Emma, you're willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want. Just like I am.
01:06:29You seem to know a lot about me.
01:06:32I really don't know what's going on here. But Em, if you're willing to accept his marriage proposal, you can have the company.
01:06:42No, Father. There's no marriage proposal. Just a web of lies and deceit in this sick man's games.
01:06:52There is now. Emma, you're the only one I've ever wanted. The 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, I promise, no more games or half-truths.
01:07:13Emma, will you marry me?
01:07:23Will you marry me?
01:07:24Jeff, you're a very curious human being. But 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, I 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. Might as well give it a real shot.
01:07:50Yes.
01:07:56Oh.
01:07:58Oh, looks like I missed the family reunion.
01:08:01Guess my invitation got lost in the mail.
01:08:03No, Jonas. You're just in the nick of time. Your sister is getting married.
01:08:07Oh, that's wonderful news.
01:08:10I'm not finished. It is also my final decision that she takes over as CEO of Castro Enterprises and that you step down effective immediately.
01:08:19Like hell I will. I'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. I might be sick, but I am not a senile.
01:08:32See, no. I didn't want it to come to this.
01:08:35I don't love someone who you are of a choice.
01:08:38Jonas!
01:08:39What the hell are you doing? That's how bother. What are you doing?
01:08:42I'm doing what I should have done a long time ago, little sister.
01:08:46Please, that's how bother. Just think about what you're doing. Put it down.
01:08:58Step out of the way, Emma. I'm not going to tell you again.
01:09:01No, please. Think about what you're doing. This is our father. Put it down.
01:09:05What the fuck do you think you're doing, Emma? Get out of the way.
01:09:08No. It's okay, Emma. I'll handle this.
01:09:11No, please let me talk to him.
01:09:13Talk to who? This piece of shit? This disgraceful excuse for a man that I'm ashamed to call my son?
01:09:19Your mother was right about you.
01:09:21If you refuse to get out of the way, Emma, then you can go to the grave with him.
01:09:26No, no, no.
01:09:27No!
01:09:29Father!
01:09:31Father, no!
01:09:33No, Father!
01:09:36Father, please, no.
01:09:40Please, call an ambulance. No, call an ambulance.
01:09:44It's too late, Em. It's too late.
01:09:46Father, please.
01:09:48Em, don't worry. It's fine.
01:09:51Know that I'm so proud of you.
01:09:54And your mother would have been so proud of you, too.
01:09:59I'll send her your love.
01:10:02Father, no. No, no.
01:10:04No, no.
01:10:05No!
01:10:07No!
01:10:10I can't do that.
01:10:11I can't do that.
01:10:14You can't do that.
01:10:16No, no.
01:10:19No, no, no.
