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.
00:01:03An offer I'm going to appreciate?
00:01:06You're getting married. Great, because we both know you're not getting any younger.
00:01:10What? No, I'm talking about a business proposal, not a marriage.
00:01:14Oh, okay. Well, what's your business proposal?
00:01:17Okay. So, what if I could secure a partnership with the Anderson Corporation?
00:01:23The Anderson Corporation? I've been trying to land that account for 10 years.
00:01:27It's impossible. It can't be done.
00:01:29I have my ways, Father. I just need you to trust me.
00:01:33Hmm. If it was anybody else, I would say, no.
00:01:37But 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.
00:02:07Three months and not a day more.
00:02:17Fucking hell. I just don't get it. I have sent out a million proposals at this point.
00:02:22And I still have no response.
00:02:29Mail for Mr. Belline-Kestrel?
00:02:31Yes. Thank you.
00:02:37Yes, 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.
00:03:01Oh my god. This is for Mr. X himself.
00:03:04He'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.
00:03:11I'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?
00:03:18Because I'm not going.
00:03:20What do you mean you're not going?
00:03:27This is the big break you've been waiting for.
00:03:31I know. I know, but...
00:03:34Does 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?
00:03:49Honestly, you've been waiting for this.
00:03:52Might as well.
00:04:09Hey, you! Gardner!
00:04:13I'm here to meet Mr. X. Am I in the right place?
00:04:19Do 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.
00:04:33All in the hall.
00:04:34Just through there.
00:04:35I see the wonderful book.
00:04:36No?
00:04:37Just through that door.
00:04:38Stop.
00:04:39Come in?
00:04:40Just through there.
00:04:41Was it nothing wrong?
00:04:42No?
00:04:43No?
00:04:44No?
00:04:45No?
00:04:46No?
00:04:47No?
00:04:48No?
00:04:49No?
00:04:50No?
00:04:51No?
00:04:52No?
00:04:54No?
00:04:55No?
00:04:56No?
00:04:57No?
00:04:58No?
00:04:59No?
00:05:00No?
00:05:01No?
00:05:02I don't know what kind of a sick game you're playing, but you should
00:05:31go back outside and keep raking up leaves.
00:05:33I don't think your boss would be too happy with you wearing his clothes and sitting on
00:05:37his expensive couch.
00:05:41You still don't remember me, do you?
00:05:45Remember you?
00:05:50No 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.
00:06:05What's going on here?
00:06:06Well, you arranged a meeting with Mr. X, so here we are.
00:06:11I imagine this is all a little much for you to take in.
00:06:16This doesn't make any sense.
00:06:20I just saw you outside pruning plants and now you're giving me a glass of whiskey?
00:06:25Is this a prank or are there cameras?
00:06:30Cameras?
00:06:31I don't much care for intrusive technology and I don't think it's a crime for a man to
00:06:36tend his own garden.
00:06:37I get a lot of satisfaction from doing it myself.
00:06:40It'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.
00:06:48Now shall we dispense with the charades and get down to business or would you care to be
00:06:53hysterical for a few more minutes?
00:06:55Bullshit.
00:06:56You'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.
00:07:02The door's still open, you're welcome to leave.
00:07:07I've got to say, this looks really good.
00:07:16One 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.
00:07:26Are you sure you can manage such resources?
00:07:28But I have a detailed project plan and I'm-
00:07:32I've looked at your plan and I've had my team go through it as well.
00:07:37The simple truth is, your company does not have the resources to manage such a large project.
00:07:43On paper at least.
00:07:44Your father has consecutively been turned down over 30 times in the past 10 years for this
00:07:48reason alone.
00:07:49What makes you think we'd accept your company's offer this time?
00:07:51You've been rejected so many times before.
00:07:53You've had all that information and you've still invited me here.
00:07:57So that begs the question, what am I really doing here?
00:08:01Oh, Emma.
00:08:04You're always as intelligent as you are beautiful.
00:08:07Don't patronize me.
00:08:09Alright.
00:08:10I won't waste your time.
00:08:12I brought you here to make you an offer.
00:08:14One that could help you secure what you came for.
00:08:21Help me secure what I came for.
00:08:26You mean the contract.
00:08:28Did you come for something else?
00:08:30No.
00:08:31I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
00:08:33So what's the offer?
00:08:35Take it.
00:08:38Open.
00:08:40What is this supposed to be?
00:08:45You're a smart woman, Emma.
00:08:47I'm sure you can read what's on the paper.
00:08:49This 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.
00:09:01What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?
00:09:06You think I would willingly sell myself into servitude just for a contract?
00:09:11Let's not play games, Emma.
00:09:13I feel they're a waste of time and I don't have much of it to spare.
00:09:16I'm guessing the same is true for you.
00:09:19I know the reason you're here.
00:09:21Or dare I say the motive behind your actions.
00:09:24What motives could that possibly be?
00:09:26Oh, I don't know.
00:09:28The fact that your father is publicly resigning from his position as CEO in three months.
00:09:32Or that he's naming someone who is not you as his successor.
00:09:36So, 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.
00:09:48Let me know if I missed something.
00:09:51How could you possibly know all this? Down to such detail?
00:09:59In this line of business, information is key. And I always have my way of getting the information I want.
00:10:06But, so you've been spying on me. I should get a restraining order against you.
00:10:11I 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.
00:10:18And how exactly do you plan to get a restraining order against a man who doesn't exist?
00:10:24What 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.
00:10:40I 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.
00:11:12So, decide.
00:11:16Can I at least take some time to go through it carefully and then make a decision?
00:11:21Smart woman.
00:11:25I'll give you three days to decide.
00:11:28After which, the contract will be withdrawn.
00:11:32And nobody is to know about our little arrangement. Is that clear?
00:11:36Yes.
00:11:38Goddammit.
00:11:39This asshole must have to be out of his goddamn mind. He wants to turn me into a slave. And for what?
00:11:51Are you hiding something from your baby sister?
00:11:54Hiding? I don't need to hide anything from you. You're always too intoxicated to see clearly anyway.
00:12:00Oh Emma, you never miss an opportunity to have a go at me, do you? It's bad enough I always have pops on my back.
00:12:06On your back? You're clearly his favorite. I mean, he gives you everything on a gulp platter and you just take it for granted.
00:12:13You think you have everything figured out, don't you?
00:12:16When in truth, you're just a scared little girl running around seeking validation from her daddy.
00:12:22What are you doing here, Jonas? I know you didn't just come to say hi. I have a lot to get done today.
00:12:27What? I can't just come check up on my little sister? You haven't even offered me a seat yet. Now that's not very nice.
00:12:33Sorry, I just have a lot going on. Have a seat.
00:12:45This is a nice office you have here. But remind me to give you a raise when I finally take over.
00:12:51Now can you please tell me why you're here?
00:12:54Get down in 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.
00:13:13And why the hell would I want to do that?
00:13:15Maybe because I asked nicely? With a cute little smile on my face? I could do a sad face if you'd like.
00:13:22This 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.
00:13:32Is that a threat, big brother?
00:13:34A threat? I'm just trying to look out for you, kiddo. Politics can be a dirty game.
00:13:39Well, thank you so much for your concern, Jonas. I really appreciate it. But I've made up my mind. I'm not chickening out.
00:13:48You've always had a hard time listening to simple instructions, haven't you?
00:13:53See, here's what bothers me. Why 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.
00:14:04And even if I'm CEO, you'll still have plenty of money to fund your extravagant lifestyle.
00:14:10So what do you want it?
00:14:14You know what? You're right. I 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's that sound, kid?
00:14:31You're out of your mind, Jonas.
00:14:36So, let me get this straight. You want me to do all the work around here, and you just get to take the credit?
00:14:43Would 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 gonna happen, Jonas.
00:14:51Let 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.
00:15:07You think father will entertain this sick fantasy of yours?
00:15:11Just like when you were kids, 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.
00:15:25Fine. If you won't heed 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?
00:15:40You know, you're lucky I-
00:15:41Emma, you asked me to remind you of, um...
00:15:45Sorry, I didn't realize you-
00:15:46Alright, 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.
00:16:14I tried to buzz you, but you didn't answer.
00:16:16Sorry, Cynthia. I guess I was just a bit distracted.
00:16:20Um, can we reschedule that meeting for later in the week? I-
00:16:23Just 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?
00:16:28My brother is just being his usual self. He's usually pretty hard to understand.
00:16:33Guess 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 jeans.
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.
00:16:53Oh, 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.
00:17:16Father! We need to talk.
00:17:18Clearly you've forgotten your manners and how to knock on a door.
00:17:21Forgive me, Father. I just felt the matter was too urgent.
00:17:25Standing around knocking on doors felt like a waste of time.
00:17:28Right, but what is the matter and why do you smell like a sewer rat?
00:17:35I've just been working hard all day, Father.
00:17:37Working hard inside a bar? Look, I don't have time for this. What do you want?
00:17:40It's funny how nobody around here ever seems to have time when I'm around.
00:17:44It's like I'm some disease that you all want to keep at arm's length.
00:17:48Jonas, 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.
00:18:05I'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.
00:18:16No.
00:18:17You can't do that.
00:18:20You can't do that!
00:18:21Oh, can't I? Just watch me.
00:18:29You can't do this.
00:18:30It's not fair. You can't do this.
00:18:33Wait, you're just trying to teach me a lesson, aren't you?
00:18:40To show me the error of my ways.
00:18:43Well, lesson learned.
00:18:46You didn't have to go this far.
00:18:49Jonas, come and sit down and we'll talk about this man to man.
00:18:53Castro Enterprises is a family business that has been passed down from generation to generation.
00:19:06It was my grandfather's and he passed it down to my father.
00:19:09My father then passed it down to me.
00:19:12But I had to earn it.
00:19:13He didn't just give it over.
00:19:14I had to work my butt off to prove myself to him and earn his respect.
00:19:18Just like your sister has done every single day.
00:19:21But what are you doing?
00:19:23All you are doing is spending our fortune every nickel, penny and dime.
00:19:26I mean, that was a $500,000 bill just on champagne alone.
00:19:30What are you spending that kind of money on booze for?
00:19:33Are you opening a winery?
00:19:35Jonas, I need you.
00:19:39I need you to start earning my respect and my trust, not squandering our fortune.
00:19:45Father, are you okay?
00:19:46I'm fine.
00:19:47Worry more about your own reputation rather than my health.
00:19:52You 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.
00:20:05I promise.
00:20:16Who is it?
00:20:17Ms. Castor, I have you a coffee with two sugars.
00:20:22You're the best.
00:20:23And I told you, you don't need to be so formal with me.
00:20:28Oh, yes.
00:20:29Sorry.
00:20:30I keep forgetting.
00:20:32Bring me that coffee.
00:20:33No worries, Emma.
00:20:35Oh, I forgot to ask you.
00:20:37How do things go with Mr. X?
00:20:39He's obviously not a serial killer.
00:20:41No, he was something worse.
00:20:43He's a psychopath.
00:20:44I'm sorry to hear that.
00:20:46So does that mean you're not going to go ahead with the project?
00:20:49Sorry, one second.
00:20:51Who could this be?
00:20:54Mr. X sends a message.
00:20:57Time's up.
00:21:01Who is it?
00:21:02Is everything okay?
00:21:03Speak of the devil.
00:21:05Oh.
00:21:14How do you ever expect me to sign this?
00:21:25Do you really think I'm that desperate?
00:21:30I have to be very careful.
00:21:34Even one excess drop could kill her.
00:21:37There.
00:21:42Dumb.
00:21:44And what were you saying, my dear?
00:21:46First of all, I am not your dear.
00:21:48And second of all, do you really expect me to sign this?
00:21:51It's like selling myself into slavery!
00:21:55Are you listening to me?
00:21:56Is this a joke to you?
00:21:59I can hear you.
00:22:00And 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 you.
00:22:19So, the fact of the matter remains.
00:22:22You have a decision to make.
00:22:23Fox, take it.
00:22:37Fine.
00:22:38I'll do it.
00:22:40Fantastic.
00:22:42I 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.
00:22:51But go on.
00:22:52Well, 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.
00:23:07He's stubborn, but I think I can bring him around eventually.
00:23:11This could be problematic.
00:23:15But I'll grant it.
00:23:17You have 14 days to convince your father.
00:23:19But no other requests will be granted.
00:23:24Now, shall we proceed?
00:23:26What do you get out of this anyway? Is it some kind of payback or revenge or just a sick thrill?
00:23:44I guess you'll never know.
00:23:48Maybe one day I'll tell you.
00:23:49Maybe one day I'll tell you.
00:23:50It's done.
00:23:51Are you happy now?
00:23:52Happy?
00:23:53This is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:23:54So don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:23:55Here.
00:23:56Let me go.
00:23:57I'm happy now.
00:23:58Happy?
00:23:59This is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:24:00So don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:24:01Here.
00:24:02Let me give you a hand with that.
00:24:03I can do it myself.
00:24:05You're just about done it.
00:24:06I'm happy.
00:24:07I'm happy.
00:24:08I'm happy.
00:24:09I'm happy.
00:24:10I'm happy.
00:24:11I'm happy.
00:24:12I'm happy.
00:24:13I'm happy.
00:24:14I'm happy.
00:24:15I'm happy.
00:24:16I'm happy.
00:24:17I'm happy.
00:24:18I'm happy.
00:24:19I'm happy.
00:24:20You're happy.
00:24:21I'm happy.
00:24:22It's done.
00:24:23Are you happy now?
00:24:24Happy?
00:24:25This is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:24:26So don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:24:27Here.
00:24:28Let me give you a hand with that.
00:24:29It's about done.
00:24:36There.
00:24:37I need to change my clothes.
00:24:39Can you at least turn around and close your eyes or something?
00:24:42I could.
00:24:43But I think we need to start getting comfortable with each other sooner rather than later.
00:24:47We're a happily married couple now, remember?
00:24:49It says so right on the certificate.
00:24:51But I guess...
00:24:54We don't have to get comfortable right now.
00:24:57I promise...
00:24:59I won't stare.
00:25:05Is this the part where you forced me to sleep with you to consummate our fake marriage?
00:25:09I did not force you to do anything.
00:25:12But if I wished for you to fulfill your marital obligations, I would expect you to do so with a smile on your face.
00:25:21Do we have an understanding?
00:25:27Do we have an understanding?
00:25:29Do you have an understanding?
00:25:30I mean, Doctor, something might be weird with her.
00:25:31Do you know, Doctor?
00:25:32Ciara?
00:25:33I Show him.
00:25:34I don't know, Doctor.
00:25:35I will.
00:25:36I know, Doctor.
00:25:37Anywho?
00:25:38And I need to have an appointment.
00:25:39I have two, Doctor.
00:25:40I will.
00:25:41All right, Doctor.
00:25:42I'll be in the place.
00:25:43I am so sorry, Mr. Castro.
00:25:44I didn't want to get you to leave.
00:25:45I'm just taking a minute later.
00:25:46So am I going to get out now?
00:25:47sit down and I'll be with you shortly. I don't think I need an appointment. I pretty
00:25:52much own the company. I am so sorry Mr. Castro I didn't see you walk in. It's okay
00:25:59sweetheart. Have you seen my sister around? I've been trying to get ahold of
00:26:03her. Um no but I can write down something for you and I can get it to her. No it's
00:26:10fine. I prefer to have my meetings face to face if you know what I mean. Just let
00:26:16me know when she comes by okay? Yes of course. You're Emma's personal assistant
00:26:23right? So you know a lot about the things that go on around here right? I mean I
00:26:30do her schedules, I write her meetings, I get her coffee, I write her proposals while
00:26:37I draft him and then I also I run around all day making sure I am so sorry Mr.
00:26:44Castro I kind of start blabbing and then I can't stop and then it just- It's okay
00:26:48sweetheart. You know I do have a thing for intelligent women. Why don't I take you
00:26:56on a date? I'll take that as a yes. I'll call you. And remember my sister can't
00:27:04know about this.
00:27:26Emma! Where have you been? I haven't seen you in two days. Are you okay? You look terrible, no offense.
00:27:32Yeah sorry, I just had a lot going on that's all. Yeah yeah of course. Do you care to tell me?
00:27:41Right, close the door. Yeah, close.
00:27:50Alright, 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. I know. Sometimes 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. I 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 and I even have a marriage contract to prove it.
00:28:29I'm supposed to make an announcement in two weeks time but no one can know until I've had a chance to
00:28:33speak with my father first. Yes, of course. Do you think he's going to approve? I don't think he is.
00:28:39Tell me about it. So what else happened when I was away?
00:28:45Not much. Really, just your brother came in? Jonas was here. Yeah. He's always up to something.
00:28:52Did he say something to you? No, he didn't say anything to me.
00:29:00Well, 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? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Um, did you want me to call him for you? I can let him know,
00:29:19maybe leave a note and he could- No, it's fine. I'm seeing him tonight for a family dinner so
00:29:25whatever he has to say to me, he can say it then. Okay.
00:29:34You look as ravishing as ever, little sister. Did you do something with your hair?
00:30:01No, it's the same as when you saw it last time. But you look a little less drunk than usual.
00:30:07That'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?
00:30:25Sorry father.
00:30:25Father, if I were to tell you I'm getting married, getting married to a man,
00:30:39how would you feel about that? Well, that would be wonderful news.
00:30:43The best news I've heard in a long, long time. So, who is this mystery man?
00:30:55Well, don't get too excited. It's just a hypothetical question.
00:31:04You 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?
00:31:15Sure, 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 meet each other's throats in a line? 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 bother 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.
00:31:53Oh, um, yes. Yes, mother.
00:31:57What does your hypothetical husband do?
00:32:01He'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, a gardener.
00:32:14What?
00:32:17Why 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, I 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, what is it you really wanted to talk to me about?
00:32:51Oh, um, just that I've opened talks with the Anderson Corporation and, um, they seem quite receptive.
00:32:59So, 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, but you're doing it with exceptional ease.
00:33:12Clearly, 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?
00:33:23Well, um, I was able to negotiate a mutually beneficial deal and show them how to increase profits,
00:33:30and it was smooth sailing from there.
00:33:33Very impressive. You are clearly going to make an outstanding CEO.
00:33:39Thank you, father.
00:33:46Cynthia Darling, this is Jonas. How are you?
00:34:04Yeah, I'm good. I 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?
00:34:21Wow, perfect. You're the best. I'll see you soon.
00:34:25All right, bye.
00:34:25Are you all right? You seem a lot quieter than usual tonight.
00:34:45Why do you even care?
00:34:46I still don't understand the point of this marriage. I mean, you haven't even touched me,
00:34:55let alone looked at me since we've been sleeping in the same bed.
00:34:58We hardly ever talk. I mean, what is your deal?
00:35:01I could have you anytime, anywhere I choose.
00:35:21I've just chosen not to exercise that right.
00:35:23What, because you feel you own me?
00:35:27Well, the contract says I do.
00:35:30So why have you chosen not to?
00:35:34Because I'm not that kind of person.
00:35:36What kind of person are you? I 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.
00:35:51But you were too blinded by my poverty to see anything else.
00:35:55Well, and you think subjugating me will change that?
00:35:59I thought I was just doing this for revenge.
00:36:04God, you're so annoying. Why 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 meds.
00:36:15No, stay away from me. Don't touch me or I will scream.
00:36:30Scream? For who? The police? Miles away.
00:36:36And what would you tell them anyway? That your husband wanted to touch you?
00:36:39I mean it. Don't come any closer!
00:36:41Relax. I 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 never been so confused in my life.
00:37:07Okay, fine. Look, I tried talking to my father about the idea of me marrying a gardener and
00:37:17he just laughed like it was a joke. I can't even imagine what his reaction would be if it
00:37:22came out in the news. He'd probably disown me.
00:37:24Hmm. Well, I can't do anything about your father.
00:37:31But I can give you another two weeks to try to convince him. But the contract won't change.
00:37:36Thank you, but why would you do that?
00:37:40I have my reasons. Maybe someday soon everything will make sense.
00:37:56What is taking this bitch so long? Got other shit to do.
00:38:05What is taking this bitch?
00:38:25Yeah, I don't care.
00:38:27Gotcha.
00:38:57Hey 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.
00:39:27I'm fine.
00:39:27It's just, you're going to 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.
00:39:43You 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.
00:40:04Everything'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 going to 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 Casual Enterprises,
00:40:23one of the largest pharmaceutical conglomerates, is tying the knot with an ordinary working-class man.
00:40:29But, Ms. Castro, I have your reports.
00:40:31It was 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 questioned 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've got to 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've got to believe me.
00:40:57If you didn't leak the information, then who did?
00:41:00I 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?
00:41:15Emma, 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.
00:41:27I'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.
00:41:43You really should not have done that.
00:41:48What are you going to do?
00:41:51Leak more stuff to the press?
00:41:52I say you already have a pretty good head start on that.
00:41:56What 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.
00:42:12What 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.
00:42:24Emma, I...
00:42:27Hello, Father?
00:42:33What am I going to do?
00:42:50What the fuck am I going to do?
00:42:51This is a complete disaster!
00:42:53How about you just calm down, take a few deep breaths.
00:42:57It might not be as bad as you're making it out to be.
00:42:59Might not be as bad?
00:43:01Are you fucking kidding me?
00:43:02What am I going to say to my father?
00:43:07Yeah, this looks grim.
00:43:08But 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.
00:43:22Who the hell are you texting?
00:43:24My accountants.
00:43:26So they can buy the news station and get me the information.
00:43:28You're bluffing.
00:43:30And 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.
00:43:38I just have to face my father and talk to him once and for all.
00:43:43Thanks for nothing.
00:43:44Done.
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,
00:44:01I gotta be honest, I didn't see it coming.
00:44:03But the media seems to love it.
00:44:05You snake.
00:44:06How did you know?
00:44:08To 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.
00:44:15Well, thanks for your concern about my love life.
00:44:19Why don't you mind your own business and butt out?
00:44:22Well, little sister, it became my business when you decided to embarrass the family name
00:44:26and drag us all through the mud.
00:44:28That's rich.
00:44:29Coming from the guy whose depraved lifestyle gets him in the media every weekend.
00:44:32What can I say?
00:44:35I'm the life of the party.
00:44:36You sound confident.
00:44:38Like 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.
00:44:46He 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?
00:44:53You don't even know your way around the office.
00:44:55You'll soon find out I'm a man of many talents.
00:44:58Why don't you go see your father?
00:45:00He's been waiting for you.
00:45:01Good luck.
00:45:07You'll need it.
00:45:13Father?
00:45:14Tell me it isn't true.
00:45:15Tell me this is just another media stunt designed to ruin this family's reputation.
00:45:20Father, I'm sorry.
00:45:21What the media is saying is true.
00:45:22I 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?
00:45:28Have 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?
00:45:36You'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?
00:45:45Are you being blackmailed?
00:45:46Are 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.
00:45:55What?
00:45:56What do you mean?
00:45:57While you were busy gardening, your brother came to me with a proposal that I could not refuse.
00:46:02A proposal?
00:46:04Open it.
00:46:10This is my client's...
00:46:12What?
00:46:16Not anymore.
00:46:17But, Father, that's not fair.
00:46:29This is my client.
00:46:31Not anymore.
00:46:31It doesn't matter how Jonas got the account.
00:46:33It is his now.
00:46:34Emeline, you no longer need to worry about the Anderson Corporation account.
00:46:37No, no, please.
00:46:39Don't stop me now when I'm so close to the end.
00:46:41My decision is made.
00:46:43Jonas will now be the successor of Castro Enterprises.
00:46:46Oh, Father, please.
00:46:47Please, I'm begging you.
00:46:48Don't do this to me.
00:46:49Please.
00:46:50All right.
00:46:51I will give you one more chance.
00:46:53On one condition.
00:46:55Of course.
00:46:55Of course.
00:46:56Anything.
00:46:57I want to meet this gardener of yours.
00:46:58I want to know who it is that has stolen my daughter's heart.
00:47:02You can't do this, Father.
00:47:04You simply just can't.
00:47:05She would disgrace the family name and you would condone it?
00:47:09Jonas, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:47:10Have you lost your mind?
00:47:12No, Father.
00:47:13I've lost my patience.
00:47:15I am your son.
00:47:17I am your heir.
00:47:19It is my birthright to be your successor.
00:47:22Jonas, how dare you speak to me like this?
00:47:24I will decide who will and who will not run this cup.
00:47:28Father?
00:47:29Father, are you okay?
00:47:33Father, no.
00:47:35Father!
00:47:35Oh, Em.
00:47:40That sad look off your face.
00:47:42It's going to take a lot more than this to bring me down.
00:47:44Father, that's not funny.
00:47:46You shouldn't be speaking.
00:47:47You should be resting.
00:47:48What?
00:47:48You'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.
00:47:56Oh, darling.
00:47:58You're looking more and more like your mother.
00:47:59Father, she would have been so proud of you and the woman you've become, just as I am.
00:48:06Where's your brother?
00:48:10Right here, old man.
00:48:11Glad to see you're still kicking.
00:48:17For a moment there, I thought you-
00:48:18Don't you fucking dare.
00:48:19You did this to him.
00:48:20So it's my fault he's lying in bed like this.
00:48:24I'm the one that put him in this state.
00:48:25Please, stop this bickering.
00:48:26I 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,
00:48:38I will need to appoint a temporary CEO.
00:48:41And 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!
00:48:55M, 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.
00:49:11M, this is not a permanent position until I have met your man and seen the contract.
00:49:28Jonas, what are you doing here?
00:49:32Hello, Father.
00:49:34Are you feeling well rested?
00:49:36Do you feel any better?
00:49:38No, not really.
00:49:39About the same.
00:49:41But, uh, why the sudden interest in my well-being that's a little out of character for you?
00:49:48That's hurtful, Father.
00:49:50Your 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.
00:50:06Well, I should be getting out of your hair.
00:50:15Get well soon, Pops.
00:50:28Well, hey!
00:50:29Watch where you're going!
00:50:29Sorry, sister.
00:50:31I didn't see you there.
00:50:33I must have been absent-minded.
00:50:35You're being too nice.
00:50:36What are you up to?
00:50:37What do you mean, what am I up to?
00:50:39I just apologize 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?
00:50:49Jonas, what are you doing here and why are you in my seat?
00:51:07Ooh, didn'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?
00:51:16Emma, 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, I 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.
00:51:42Don't be petty.
00:51:43I finalized a contract that was sitting on your desk for weeks.
00:51:47It'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.
00:52:00Of 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 you.
00:52:12I have people for that.
00:52:14It'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.
00:52:19I knew you had someone on the inside.
00:52:22Wait.
00:52:23That means that someone's...
00:52:24That fucking bitch!
00:52:39Emma, good.
00:52:40It's Miss Castro to you.
00:52:42Going somewhere?
00:52:43Um, 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?
00:52:50A backstabber?
00:52:50That you've been conniving with my brother behind my back?
00:52:52What 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.
00:53:21I'll be with you shortly.
00:53:24Emma, it wasn't meant to be like this.
00:53:28I'm sorry.
00:53:39As 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.
00:53:50Sweet 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.
00:54:20That 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.
00:54:28It's not going to happen again.
00:54:32Actually, scratch that.
00:54:35I think, I think it will happen more often.
00:54:38I know I haven't been the best fake wife to you, but you've been good to me and you've been kind and patient and you didn't try and force yourself on me when you could have.
00:54:50Emma, you don't have to.
00:54:52No, please, just let me finish, okay?
00:54:54It's, this is really hard for me to say.
00:54:57But I also want to apologize for how I've treated you in the past.
00:55:00I've been self-centered and egocentric and I'm sorry.
00:55:05It'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 his contract?
00:55:16I can't tell you.
00:55:18Not yet.
00:55:18I 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?
00:55:35But, but why?
00:55:47It's beautiful, but why would you paint a picture of me?
00:55:52I don't recall it being a crime to paint a picture of a beautiful and fascinating woman.
00:56:00Well, maybe I can see it when it's finished.
00:56:04Maybe.
00:56:05We'll see.
00:56:10Emma.
00:56:12I know you just, you didn't come all this way to apologize.
00:56:18And I know that look on your face.
00:56:21What's going on?
00:56:21So 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.
00:56:37I know that your brother's taken control of the company.
00:56:40Well, how do you know that?
00:56:41That hasn't even gone public yet.
00:56:43I have my ways.
00:56:44And I always keep a close eye on my assets.
00:56:48The question is, what are you going to do?
00:56:53At 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
00:57:01is if he met the man first.
00:57:03But 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.
00:57:16And 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, our goals are aligned.
00:57:41Goals aligned?
00:57:42What goals are you talking about, Jeff?
00:57:44What goals?
00:57:44Don'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.
00:58:06Why the long face?
00:58:07We should be celebrating my victory, not sulking.
00:58:10I should have never helped you.
00:58:11Your 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.
00:58:27A 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?
00:58:50Everyone keeps going on and on about how my father's going to recover and all the things
00:58:53that will happen.
00:58:54But my father has a very serious illness and he might not recover.
00:58:58And 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.
00:59:04My 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?
00:59:12Are you accusing me of something?
00:59:14No, Jonah.
00:59:15I'm not accusing you of anything.
00:59:16I 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.
00:59:26But clearly they are.
00:59:28And what stories are those?
00:59:32Tell me the tales of Jonas Castro.
00:59:35Jonas Castro?
00:59:37Well, Jonas Castro loves himself.
00:59:39He's an alcoholic.
00:59:40He's a womanizer.
00:59:41He's just pure evil.
00:59:44That's who Jonas Castro is.
00:59:49Look.
00:59:50I can't do this.
00:59:52I'm leaving.
00:59:53I'm leaving.
00:59:53Where the fuck do you think you're going?
00:59:59Seems you've forgotten your place.
01:00:01Maybe it's time I reminded you.
01:00:06Please.
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.
01:00:19You 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.
01:00:25Just, I'll forget about it and we can go.
01:00:28No, no, no, no.
01:00:29Please.
01:00:29I think I need to teach you a lesson.
01:00:31I'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 you.
01:00:53Father, I'm here.
01:00:59You're not alone.
01:01:00I'm with my fiancée.
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.
01:01:13I never forget a face.
01:01:15Especially 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 to discuss a very important proposal.
01:01:35Let's go.
01:01:59Answer.
01:02:00Answer.

01:02:20interesting proposal for you it may not be exactly considered a business proposal

01:03:09a problem with it since i am the heir to my family's billion dollar fortune

01:03:17that's my family's name our net worth we operate several business enterprises as well as doing
01:03:29philanthropic work so a union between your daughter and i would strengthen both our families
01:03:34galvanizing our position in high society making us a formidable force
01:03:38i 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
01:03:46i could never convince my emmeline to marry someone that she didn't choose herself

01:04:18money i'm so sick of it so i intend to disguise myself as a nobody
01:04:24are 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
01:04:36this is a ridiculous plan it'll never work
01:04:38i 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

01:04:56it's no secret that you yearn for your daughter
01:04:58to get married to someone worthy
