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.
00:00:56Father, I am certain this is an offer you're going to appreciate.
00:01:00An offer I'm going to appreciate?
00:01:03You're getting married. Great, because we both know you're not getting any younger.
00:01:09What? 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 have 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. It ran 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, Miss 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?
00:04:28He's waiting for you. Just through that door and down the hall.
00:04:51.
00:05:21I don't know what kind of a sick game you're playing, but you should go back outside and keep raking up leaves.
00:05:33I don't think your boss would be too happy with you wearing his clothes and sitting on his expensive couch.
00:05:40You still don't remember me, do you?
00:05:44Remember you?
00:05:51No way, you're Jeff?
00:05:58In the flesh. You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:06:03You haven't answered my question. What's going on here?
00:06:06Well, you arranged a meeting with Mr. X, so here we are. I imagine this is all a little much for you to take in.
00:06:14This doesn't make any sense. I just saw you outside pruning plants and now you're giving me a glass of whiskey.
00:06:26Is this a prank? Are there cameras?
00:06:29Cameras? I don't much care for intrusive technology. And I don't think it's a crime for a man to tend his own garden.
00:06:37I get a lot of satisfaction from doing it myself. It's therapeutic.
00:06:42So what you're trying to tell me is-
00:06:44I'm Mr. X. I'm the one you came here to see. Now shall we dispense with the charades and get down to business or would you care to be hysterical for a few more minutes?
00:06:55Bullshit. You're lying. Just admit it and stop playing games.
00:06:59You don't have to believe me. I'm not trying to convince you. The door's still open, you're welcome to leave.
00:07:07I've got to say, this looks really good. One of the best proposals I've read in a while, in fact. I guess all the media I say about you is true.
00:07:23But the figures we're looking at here run to the billions of dollars. Are you sure you can manage such resources?
00:07:28But 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.
00:07:38The simple truth is, your company does not have the resources to manage such a large project. On paper at least.
00:07:44Your father has consecutively been turned down over 30 times in the past 10 years for this reason alone.
00:07:49What makes you think we'd accept your company's offer this time? You've been rejected so many times before.
00:07:54You had all that information and you've still invited me here. So that begs the question, what am I really doing here?
00:08:02Oh, Emma. You're always as intelligent as you are beautiful.
00:08:08Don't patronize me.
00:08:10Alright. I won't waste your time. I brought you here to make you an offer. One that could help you secure what you came for.
00:08:17Help me secure what I came for. You mean the contract.
00:08:28Did you come for something else?
00:08:30No. I just want to make sure we're on the same page. So what's the offer?
00:08:35Take it. Open.
00:08:40What is this supposed to be?
00:08:46You're a smart woman, Emma. I'm sure you can read what's on the paper.
00:08:49This is a marriage contract. Between you and me. Contractual terms of the marriage outlined in detail. Contract set to expire in three months.
00:09:01What 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. I feel they're a waste of time and I don't have much of it to spare. I'm guessing the same is true for you. I know the reason you're here. Or dare I say the motive behind your actions.
00:09:24What motives could that possibly be?
00:09:27Oh, I don't know. The fact that your father is publicly resigning from his position as CEO in three months. Or that he's naming someone who is not you as his successor.
00:09:37So you thought that securing a massive contract like the Anderson Corporation could change his mind and finally give you the recognition you feel you deserve. Let me know if I missed something.
00:09:56How 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. 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?
00:10:25Who are you talking about? I know you. You're sitting right in front of me.
00:10:30What do you really know about me? Besides the fact that my name might be Jeff?
00:10:34Might be.
00:10:36The world knows me as Mr. X. You have a name and a face, but little else.
00:10:41I drove here, remember? I know where you live.
00:10:43I have a dozen homes across the state, none of which are in my name.
00:10:50But I think we're getting a little off topic here.
00:10:52Do you have a contract in front of you that can make all of your dreams come true?
00:10:57The question is, do you have the balls to take it?
00:11:02Of course, you could walk away, turn it down, and none of this will have happened.
00:11:09But remember, this is a one-time offer.
00:11:13So, decide.
00:11:17Can I at least take some time to go through it carefully and then make a decision?
00:11:25Smart woman.
00:11:27I'll give you three days to decide.
00:11:30After which, the contract will be withdrawn.
00:11:33And nobody is to know about our little arrangement. Is that clear?
00:11:38Yes.
00:11:43Goddammit.
00:11:45This asshole must have to be out of his goddamn mind. He wants to turn me into a slave. And for what?
00:11:52Are you hiding something from your baby sister?
00:11:55Hiding? I don't need to hide anything from you. You're always too intoxicated to see clearly anyway.
00:12:01Oh, 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.
00:12:07On your back? You're clearly his favorite. I mean, he gives you everything on a gulp platter and you just take it for granted.
00:12:14You think you have everything figured out, don't you? When in truth, you're just a scared little girl running around seeking validation from her daddy.
00:12:23What are you doing here, Jonas? I know you didn't just come to say hi. I have a lot to get done today.
00:12:28What? I can't just come check up on my little sister? 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.
00:12:46This is a nice office you have here. But remind me to give you a raise when I finally take over.
00:12:52Now can you please tell me why you're here?
00:12:55Get down to business, you mean?
00:12:56Well, I'd like you to tell father that you're no longer interested in the position of CEO and that you would gladly let me take the lead as your big brother.
00:13:14And why the hell would I want to do that?
00:13:16Maybe because I asked nicely? With a cute little smile on my face? I could do a sad face if you 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.
00:13:28Or maybe you don't have a shot at winning. And you might get yourself hurt.
00:13:33Is that a threat, big brother?
00:13:35A threat? I'm just trying to look out for you, kiddo. Politics can be a dirty game.
00:13:41Well, thank you so much for your concern, Jonas. I really appreciate it. But I've made up my mind. I'm not chickening out.
00:13:47You'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?
00:14:00I mean, you barely have enough time for yourself, let alone running the day-to-day operations of a huge company like this.
00:14:06And even if I'm CEO, you'll still have plenty of money to fund your extravagant lifestyle. So why do you want it?
00:14:11You know what? You're right. I don't have time to manage any of this. Which is why I want to make you second in command.
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. How does that sound?
00:14:31How does that sound too?
00:14:32You're out of your mind, Jonas.
00:14:37So, let me get this straight. You want me to do all the work around here and you just get to take the credit?
00:14:44Would that be too much to ask of my little sister?
00:14:47I don't know what delusional world you're living in, but you need to wake up. Because that's never gonna happen, Jonas.
00:14:53Let me ask you this. How do you envision this will end?
00:14:58You think I'd stand idly by while you take my fucking birthright?
00:15:02Well, when last I checked, we both had the same last name. I don't remember when that right was conferred to you.
00:15:08You think father will entertain this sick fantasy of yours?
00:15:12Just like when you were kids, he wants to just see you get tired out before he comes to console you.
00:15:17I'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.
00:15:27Fine. If you won't hear the voice of reason, so be it. But don't come crying to me when things get ugly.
00:15:35Dare I ask, is that a threat I detect, brother? It's not a very nice way to talk to your little sister, is it?
00:15:41You know, you're lucky I've-
00:15:43Emma, you asked me to remind you of, um...
00:15:45Sorry, I didn't realize you-
00:15:47Alright, Cynthia, my brother here was just leaving.
00:15:52This isn't over, little sister. I'll be back.
00:15:55You had something for me?
00:15:56Oh, yeah, your, um, three o'clock appointment. You told me to remind you when our client is here. I tried to buzz you but you didn't answer.
00:16:16Sorry, Cynthia. I guess I was just a bit distracted. Um, can we reschedule that meeting for later in the week? I'm just not in the right frame of mind right now.
00:16:26I'm sorry to hear that. Is it anything to do with you-know-who?
00:16:29My brother is just being his usual self. He's usually pretty hard to understand. I guess you can't choose your family, can you?
00:16:35Tell me about it. I also have an insufferable brother who doesn't look as good in those 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?
00:17:41It's funny how nobody around here ever seems to have time when I'm around.
00:17:46It's like I'm some disease that you all want to keep at arm's length.
00:17:49Jonas, you're a grown man. Stop carrying on like a child and tell me what it is that you want.
00:17:56I'd like to know why do you insist on giving Emma the false hope that she could actually take my birthright.
00:18:03Seems 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.
00:18:14No. You can't do that. You can't do that.
00:18:22Oh, can't I? Just watch me.
00:18:30You can't do this. It's not fair. You can't do this.
00:18:33Wade, you're just trying to teach me a lesson, aren't you? To show me the error of my ways.
00:18:44Well, lesson learned. You didn't have to go this far.
00:18:49Jonas, come and sit down and we'll talk about this man to man.
00:18:54Castro Enterprises is a family business that 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, but I had to earn it.
00:19:14He 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? All 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? Are you opening a winery?
00:19:38Jonas, I need you...
00:19:40I need you to start earning my respect and my trust, not squandering our fortune.
00:19:46Father, are you okay?
00:19:47I'm fine. Worry more about your own reputation rather than my health.
00:19:51You know what, Father? You're right.
00:19:56I'll do just that.
00:19:58Thank you for setting me on the right path.
00:20:01As always, I won't disappoint you.
00:20:04I promise.
00:20:06Who is it?
00:20:23Ms. Castro, I have you a coffee with two sugars.
00:20:25You're the best. And I told you, you don't need to be so formal with me.
00:20:29Oh, yes. Sorry. I keep forgetting.
00:20:32Bring me that coffee.
00:20:33No worries, Emma.
00:20:36Oh, I forgot to ask you. How do things go with Mr. X? He's obviously not a serial killer.
00:20:42No, he was something worse. He's a psychopath.
00:20:45I'm sorry to hear that. So does that mean you're not going to go ahead with the project?
00:20:49Sorry, one second. Who could this be?
00:20:54Mr. X sends a message. Time's up.
00:21:01Who is it? Is everything okay?
00:21:04Speak of the devil.
00:21:05Oh.
00:21:19How do you ever expect me to sign this? Do you really think I'm that desperate?
00:21:30I have to be very careful.
00:21:34Even one excess drop could kill her.
00:21:41There. Dumb.
00:21:45Now what were you saying, my dear?
00:21:47First of all, I am not your dear.
00:21:49And second of all, do you really expect me to sign this?
00:21:52It's like selling myself into slavery.
00:21:56Are you listening to me? Is this a joke to you?
00:22:00I can hear you.
00:22:02And yelling is not going to help me hear you any better.
00:22:05Yes, that contract in front of you is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery.
00:22:10Because I will own you for the duration.
00:22:12But, you're under no obligation to sign it.
00:22:15You could walk out of here right now and nobody would stop me.
00:22:19So, the fact of the matter remains.
00:22:23You have a decision to make.
00:22:28Fox ticket.
00:22:29Fox ticket.
00:22:37Fine. I'll do it.
00:22:40Fantastic. I knew you had it in you.
00:22:44But, can I just make one request?
00:22:47A request?
00:22:48I don't know if I'll like this.
00:22:52But, go on.
00:22:54Well, 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.
00:23:08He's stubborn, but I think I can bring him around 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?
00:23:37What do you get out of this anyway?
00:23:40Is 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.
00:23:54It's done.
00:23:59Are you happy now?
00:24:00Happy?
00:24:02This is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:24:04So, don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:24:06Okay.
00:24:08It's done.
00:24:10Are you happy now?
00:24:11Happy?
00:24:13This is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:24:15So, don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:24:17Okay.
00:24:19Okay.
00:24:24Here. Let me give you a hand with that.
00:24:26I can do it myself. Thank you.
00:24:29You're just about done.
00:24:36There.
00:24:38I need to change my clothes.
00:24:40Can you at least turn around and close your eyes or something?
00:24:43I could.
00:24:45But 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.
00:24:57Right now.
00:24:59I promise.
00:25:00I won't stare.
00:25:06Is 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?
00:25:23Do we have an understanding?
00:25:24Do we have an understanding?
00:25:25Do we have an understanding?
00:25:26Do we have an understanding?
00:25:27Do we have an understanding?
00:25:28Do we have an understanding?
00:25:29Do we have an understanding?
00:25:30Do we have an understanding?
00:25:31Do we have an understanding?
00:25:32Do we have an understanding?
00:25:33Do we have an understanding?
00:25:34Do we have an understanding?
00:25:35Do we have an understanding?
00:25:36Do we have an understanding?
00:25:37Do we have an understanding?
00:25:38Do we have an understanding?
00:25:39If 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.
00:25:55I am so sorry, Mr. Castro. I didn't see you walk in.
00:25:59It's okay, sweetheart. Have you seen my sister around? I've been trying to get a hold of her.
00:26:03Um, no, but I can write down something for you and I can get it to her.
00:26:10No, it's fine. I prefer to have my meetings face to face, if you know what I mean.
00:26:15Just let me know when she comes by, okay?
00:26:18Yes, of course.
00:26:21You're Emma's personal assistant, right?
00:26:26So you know a lot about the things that go on around here, right?
00:26:29I 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 I am so sorry, Mr. Castro.
00:26:45I kind of start blabbing and then I can't stop and then it just...
00:26:48It's okay, sweetheart. You know, I do have a thing for intelligent women.
00:26:51Why don't I take you on a date?
00:26:58I'll take that as a yes. I'll call you.
00:27:02And remember, my sister can't know about this.
00:27:04I'll call you.
00:27:21Emma, where have you been? I haven't seen you in two days. Are you okay?
00:27:32You look terrible, no offense.
00:27:34Yeah, sorry. I just had a lot going on, that's all.
00:27:37Yeah, yeah, of course. Do you care to tell me?
00:27:41Right, close the door.
00:27:43Yeah, close.
00:27:43All right, what I'm about to say, it has to stay between you and me, okay? It needs to be confidential.
00:27:56Yes, yes, of course you can trust me.
00:27:58I know. Sometimes I feel like you're the only one I can trust.
00:28:02So, 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.
00:28:15Well, who did you get married to? Um, where did you get married? How?
00:28:22All I can say is I've married a gardener.
00:28:26And I even have a marriage contract to prove it.
00:28:29I'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.
00:28:35Yes, of course. Do you think he's going to approve? I don't think he is.
00:28:39Tell me about it.
00:28:42So, what else happened when I was away?
00:28:45Not 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?
00:28:54No, he didn't say anything to me.
00:28:55Well, 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?
00:29:12Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Um, did you want me to call him for you? I can let him know and maybe leave a note and he could...
00:29:21No, it's fine. I'm seeing him tonight for a family dinner, so whatever he has to say to me, he can say it then.
00:29:27Okay.
00:29:29Okay.
00:29:29Okay.
00:29:29Okay.
00:29:29Okay.
00:29:57You look as ravishing as ever, little sister. Did you do something with your hair?
00:30:02No, it's the same as when you saw it last time. But you look a little less drunk than usual. That's an improvement.
00:30:09Darling sister, might you by any chance be implying in front of father that I'm an alcoholic? Now that wouldn't be very nice, would it?
00:30:17I'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.
00:30:32Father, if I were to tell you I'm getting married, getting married to a man, how would you feel about that?
00:30:41Well, that would be wonderful news.
00:30:43The best news I've heard in a long, long time.
00:30:46So, who is this mystery man?
00:30:50Well, 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?
00:31:16Oh, sure. 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 beat 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.
00:31:41Oh.
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, father.
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?
00:32:16He's a gardener.
00:32:30Why 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. She 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. So, 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. You know, I actually thought this was an impossible undertaking. But you're doing it with exceptional ease. Clearly the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.
00:33:14Thank you, father. I learned from the best.
00:33:17Well, 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 showed them how to increase profits. And it was smooth sailing from there.
00:33:33Very impressive. You are clearly going to make an outstanding CEO.
00:33:37Thank you, father.
00:34:01Cynthia, darling. This is Jonas. How are you?
00:34:03Yeah, I'm good. I was just calling to see if you were free tonight for that date we were talking about. I can pick you up after work.
00:34:12Perfect. Hey, I could really use your help in grabbing a file from my sister's office. Could you be a sweetheart and do that for me?
00:34:21Oh, perfect. You're the best. I'll see you soon.
00:34:25Alright, bye.
00:34:33Are you alright? You seem a lot quieter than usual tonight.
00:34:45Why do you even care?
00:34:49I still don't understand the point of this marriage. I mean, you haven't even touched me, let alone looked at me, since we've been sleeping in the same bed.
00:34:58We hardly ever talk. I mean, what is your deal?
00:35:03What is your deal?
00:35:08Touch me.
00:35:13I could have you. Anytime. Anywhere I choose.
00:35:21I've just chosen not to exercise that right.
00:35:25What, 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? 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.
00:35:51Well, 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.
00:36:03Oh god, 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.
00:36:15I think I finally decided to exercise my rights.
00:36:23No, stay away from me. Don't touch me or I will scream.
00:36:30Scream? For who? The police? Miles away.
00:36:35And what would you tell them anyway? That your husband wanted to touch you?
00:36:39I mean it. Don't come any closer!
00:36:42Relax.
00:36:44I 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.
00:37:10Look, I tried talking to my father about the idea of me marrying a gardener.
00:37:17And he just laughed like it was a joke.
00:37:20I can't even imagine what his reaction would be if it came out in the news.
00:37:23He'd probably disown me.
00:37:25Hmm.
00:37:27Well, I can't do anything about your father.
00:37:31But I can give you another two weeks to try to convince him.
00:37:34But the contract won't change.
00:37:35Thank you. Why would you do that?
00:37:40I have my reasons.
00:37:42Maybe someday soon, everything will make sense.
00:37:56What is taking this bitch so long?
00:37:59Got other shit to do.
00:38:00Got other shit to do.
00:38:01Okay.
00:38:03Yeah, I'm okay.
00:38:33Gotcha.
00:39:03Hey there, beautiful.
00:39:10Hey.
00:39:12Did you get it?
00:39:13Uh, yeah.
00:39:15Here.
00:39:23You okay?
00:39:24What's wrong?
00:39:25Um, 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 faster 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.
00:40:03Yes, 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.
00:40:13The business world is stunned by the rumors that the chief operating officer of Casserol Enterprises,
00:40:23one of the largest pharmaceutical conglomerates, is tying the knot with an ordinary working-class man.
00:40:29Miss Casserol, if you're in place...
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.
00:40:38Many 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 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?
00:41:00I 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?
00:41:17Emma, you're home early.
00:41:19Is everything alright?
00:41:20No, everything is not alright.
00:41:22How could you do this to me?
00:41:23After you gave me your word, you betrayed me.
00:41:27I'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.
00:41:44You really should not have done that.
00:41:48Oh, what are you going to do?
00:41:51Leak more stuff to the press?
00:41:52Is it 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.
00:42:13What 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...
00:42:26Hello, Father?
00:42:34I...
00:42:34What am I going to do?
00:42:50What the fuck am I going to do?
00:42:51This is a complete disaster.
00:42:55How about you just calm down.
00:42:56Take a few deep breaths.
00:42:58It might not be as bad as you're making it out to be.
00:42:59Might not...
00:43:00Might not be as bad?
00:43:01Are you fucking kidding me?
00:43:02What am I going to say to my father?
00:43:04Fuck.
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
00:43:15and ask them who gave them the information.
00:43:17Even if you could do that,
00:43:19they would never tell you.
00:43:20Give me a sec.
00:43:23Who the hell are you texting?
00:43:24My accountants.
00:43:26So they can buy the news station
00:43:27and get me the information.
00:43:28You're bluffing.
00:43:30And even if you could do that,
00:43:31that would take forever to arrange.
00:43:33You'd be surprised how quickly
00:43:34you 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
00:43:40and talk to him once and for all.
00:43:43Thanks 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,
00:44:01I gotta be honest,
00:44:02I 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,
00:44:09I was surprised as well.
00:44:10I thought you would have had better taste.
00:44:12But I guess you gotta lower your standards
00:44:14when you've been single for so long.
00:44:16Well, thanks for your concern about my love life.
00:44:19Why don't you mind your own business
00:44:20and butt out?
00:44:22Well, little sister,
00:44:23it became my business
00:44:24when 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 who's depraved lifestyle
00:44:31gets 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 have me beat.
00:44:40But I'm the one who's about to close
00:44:41the 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
00:44:49that 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.
00:45:16Tell me this is just another media stunt
00:45:17designed 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,
00:45:26you choose a mere commoner, a gardener?
00:45:29Have you no self-respect?
00:45:30Have you no respect for this family?
00:45:32I know it doesn't make sense,
00:45:34but please, I need you to trust me.
00:45:35Trust you?
00:45:36You're actively bringing shame to this family
00:45:38and you expect me to trust you?
00:45:40Mother, please.
00:45:41Who is this man?
00:45:43What is he doing to manipulate you like this?
00:45:45Are you being blackmailed?
00:45:46Are you pregnant?
00:45:47Once I seal the deal with the Anderson Corporation,
00:45:51I 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,
00:45:59your brother came to me with a proposal
00:46:01that I could not refuse.
00:46:03A proposal?
00:46:05Open it.
00:46:05This is my client.
00:46:12What?
00:46:16Not anymore.
00:46:27But, Father, that's not fair.
00:46:29This is my client.
00:46:30Not anymore.
00:46:31It doesn't matter how Jonas got the account,
00:46:33it is his now.
00:46:34Emmeline, you no longer need to worry
00:46:36about the Anderson Corporation account.
00:46:38No, please.
00:46:39Don't stop me now when I'm so close to the end.
00:46:42My 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.
00:46:52I 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
00:46:59that has stolen my daughter's heart.
00:47:00You can't do this, Father.
00:47:04You simply just can't.
00:47:06She would disgrace the family name
00:47:07and 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 country.
00:47:28Father?
00:47:29Father, are you okay?
00:47:33Father, no!
00:47:35Father!
00:47:39Oh, Em.
00:47:40With that sad look off your face,
00:47:42it's going to take a lot more than this
00:47:43to 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, you're going to start treating me
00:47:49like a vegetable now?
00:47:51The doctor said all I need to do
00:47:52is take those tablets
00:47:53and I'll be as right as rain.
00:47:55Oh, darling.
00:47:58You're looking more and more like your mother.
00:48:01She would have been so proud of you
00:48:02and the woman you've become.
00:48:04Just as I am.
00:48:08Where'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.
00:48:21So 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.
00:48:27I really can't cope with it anymore.
00:48:29Sorry, Father.
00:48:30Look, since I am temporarily unable
00:48:35to fulfill my role
00:48:36as the head of Castro Enterprises,
00:48:38I will need to appoint a temporary CEO.
00:48:43And Jonas, despite everything you have done,
00:48:46you 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.
00:48:57I will not make my final decision
00:48:59until I have met your man
00:49:00and seen the contract.
00:49:03Jonas, what are you doing here?
00:49:32Hello, Father.
00:49:33Are you feeling well-rested?
00:49:36Do you feel any better?
00:49:38No, not really.
00:49:39About the same.
00:49:42But, uh,
00:49:43why the sudden interest in my well-being?
00:49:45That'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,
00:49:55so I decided to refill them for you.
00:49:58Would you like to have a look?
00:50:00No, just...
00:50:01Just give them to me, please.
00:50:12Well, I should be getting out of your hair.
00:50:15Get well soon, Pops.
00:50:17Well, hey!
00:50:29What's where you're going?
00:50:30Sorry, sister.
00:50:31I didn't see you there.
00:50:33I must have been absent-minded.
00:50:34You'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 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?
00:50:49Jonas.
00:51:02What are you doing here?
00:51:04What are you doing here?
00:51:05And why are you in my seat?
00:51:08Didn't you hear?
00:51:09I'm in charge now, so technically, this is my seat.
00:51:13Do you actually need something, or did you just come here to gloat?
00:51:17Emma, Emma, you always like to get straight down to business, don't you?
00:51:21Well, let's get to it.
00:51:23You are obligated to report all findings and dealings to the company head.
00:51:27Yet, 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? So you can steal my client again, like you did last time?
00:51:41Come on, Emma. Don't be petty.
00:51:44I finalized a contract that was sitting on your desk for weeks.
00:51:47It's all in the company's best interest.
00:51:50Company's best interest? Or your best interest, Jonas?
00:51:53Well, I am currently the Chief Executive Officer, 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. I have people for that. It's the mark of a true leader.
00:52:16You know, you could really learn a thing or two from me, Emma.
00:52:18I knew it. I knew you had someone on the inside.
00:52:20Wait. Wait. That means that someone's...
00:52:26That fucking bitch!
00:52:28Emma, good. It's Miss Castro to you.
00:52:42Going 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?
00:52:50A backstabber? That you've been conniving with my brother behind my back?
00:52:53What exactly were you meaning to tell me?
00:52:55Emma, I know it looks bad, but I never lied about any...
00:52:58Don't lie to me.
00:53:01Have some dignity.
00:53:03I trusted you and you betrayed me.
00:53:06I hardly think this is appropriate workplace behavior, little sister.
00:53:10I could have you sanctioned for assaulting my personal assistant.
00:53:14Your personal assistant. So that's what this is. You sold me out.
00:53:19Cynthia, darling, wait for me in my office. I'll be with you shortly.
00:53:23Emma, it wasn't meant to be like this.
00:53:29I'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.
00:53:45Let's see how long you can hold on to that position once father recovers, sweet brother.
00:53:55Oh, 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. 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 going to happen again.
00:54:32Actually, scratch that. I think, I think it will happen more often.
00:54:38Okay. I 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, but 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.
00:55:07It's okay, Emma.
00:55:09And 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.
00:55:19I figured.
00:55:20Well, can you at least show me what you're painting? I never knew you were an artist.
00:55:25Hmm. There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:55:28I bet.
00:55:29So, can I see it?
00:55:32Want to come see?
00:55:39But, but why?
00:55:47It'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.
00:55:59Well, uh, maybe I can see it when it's finished.
00:56:04Maybe.
00:56:06We'll see.
00:56:10Emma.
00:56:10Well, I 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 and that your brother's taking 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.
00:56:45And 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 is 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.
00:57:18And 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.
00:57:32Why 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?
00:57:45Don'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.
00:57:58I'm sorry.
00:58:02Cynthia darling.
00:58:06Why the long face?
00:58:08We should be celebrating my victory, not sulking.
00:58:10I should have never helped you.
00:58:12Your sister hates me because she thinks I betrayed her.
00:58:15And rightfully so.
00:58:16I didn't realize you were going to use that information against her, and 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, a triple promotion.
00:58:29I'd expect you to be more grateful.
00:58:31I'm sorry, I'm grateful, but 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?
00:58:46What do you mean by that?
00:58:50Everyone keeps going on and on about how my father's going to recover and all the things that will happen,
00:58:54but my father has a very serious illness, and he might not recover, 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.
00:59:09And I'm sure that would definitely suit your agenda, wouldn't it?
00:59:13Are you accusing me of something?
00:59:14No, Jonah, I'm not accusing you of anything.
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, but clearly they are.
00:59:30And what stories are those?
00:59:33Tell me the tales of Jonas Castro.
00:59:35Jonas Castro?
00:59:36Well, Jonas Castro loves himself.
00:59:39He's an alcoholic.
00:59:40He's a womanizer.
00:59:41He's just pure evil.
00:59:45That's who Jonas Castro is.
00:59:49Look.
00:59:51I can't do this.
00:59:52I'm leaving.
00:59:55Where the fuck do you think you're going?
00:59:59Seems you've forgotten your place.
01:00:02Maybe it's time I reminded you.
01:00:03Please, let 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, 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.
01:00:24Please, I'm sorry.
01:00:26Just, I'll forget about it, and we can go.
01:00:28No, no, no, no, no.
01:00:29Wait.
01:00:29I think I need to teach you a lesson.
01:00:31I don't know what ever.
01:00:33Okay.
01:00:38You seem pretty confident.
01:00:40I guess you've done a lot of stuff like this before.
01:00:43Not really.
01:00:44Any advice on approaching your father?
01:00:46Well, he already doesn't like you.
01:00:49So I guess just be yourself.
01:00:51Let's get this over with.
01:00:52Father, I'm here.
01:00:58You're not alone.
01:01:00I'm with my fiancé.
01:01:03That's you.
01:01:06Wait, you two know each other?
01:01:09Your father and I have met.
01:01:11It was a long time ago.
01:01:12I'm surprised he remembers.
01:01:14I never forget a face.
01:01:16Especially one as unique as yours.
01:01:19Wait, hang on.
01:01:21This doesn't make any sense.
01:01:22Someone needs to give me some answers.
01:01:24This man came to me a few years ago,
01:01:28asking for a private meeting
01:01:30to discuss a very important proposal.
01:01:52You're the man I spoke with on the phone?
01:02:07Yes, sir.
01:02:10It's not every day I have a meeting with a total stranger,
01:02:12but you said you had an interesting business proposal.
01:02:15So, what is it?
01:02:16Of course, sir.
01:02:17I understand perfectly.
01:02:19But I said I had an interesting proposal for you.
01:02:22It may not be exactly considered a business proposal.
01:02:26Young man, I don't have time for your silly little word games,
01:02:29so you have five minutes to tell me what the proposal is,
01:02:31or I will have you thrown out.
01:02:34Right down to business.
01:02:35I would like to ask for your daughter Emma's hand in marriage.
01:02:49I'm sorry.
01:02:50I think my hearing must be playing tricks on me.
01:02:52Could you repeat that for me, please?
01:02:54I said I would like your daughter's hand in marriage.
01:02:59Hmm.
01:03:00So it seems like my hearing is fine.
01:03:02No, sir.
01:03:02I believe your hearing is still top-notch.
01:03:04So, what makes you think I would go for such a ludicrous idea?
01:03:08Well, I didn't think you'd have a problem with it,
01:03:09since I am the heir to my family's billion-dollar fortune.
01:03:13Is that supposed to impress me?
01:03:15Anyone can claim to be anything these days.
01:03:23That's my family's name, our net worth.
01:03:26We operate several business enterprises,
01:03:28as well as doing philanthropic work.
01:03:30So?
01:03:31A union between your daughter and I
01:03:32would strengthen both our families,
01:03:34galvanizing our position in high society,
01:03:36making us a formidable force.
01:03:38I didn't think you'd have a problem with it.
01:03:41Well, I see you've done your research.
01:03:43But even if I were to give this union my blessing,
01:03:46I could never convince my Emmeline
01:03:48to marry someone that she didn't choose herself.
01:03:51Well, I believe that's where I come in.
01:03:53How so?
01:03:54I'm sorry.
01:03:58So, how exactly do you plan on wooing my daughter?
01:04:05Well, in all honesty, sir, it's not a very good plan,
01:04:08but it's one that sets my heart at ease.
01:04:10What exactly are you talking about?
01:04:12I've not had much luck with women in this regard.
01:04:15They always seem to be after me for access to my money.
01:04:19I'm so sick of it.
01:04:21So I intend to disguise myself as a nobody.
01:04:25Are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money,
01:04:29like some pathetic little gold digger?
01:04:30No, no, sir.
01:04:31I just want Emma to get to know me for me, that's all.
01:04:36This is a ridiculous plan.
01:04:37It'll never work.
01:04:39I know.
01:04:40But I'm still willing to try.
01:04:42And if it goes south, no harm done.
01:04:44So what exactly do you want from me?
01:04:46Well, I was hoping you could put in a good word for me.
01:04:49But Emma can't know that you know who I am.
01:04:52Maybe you could say that I'm the son of an old friend.
01:04:54This is a ridiculous plan.
01:04:55I think you just need to leave.
01:04:56It's no secret that you yearn for your daughter
01:04:58to get married to someone worthy from high society.
01:05:03Please just consider the plan.
01:05:05How dare you presume to know me and what it is that I want.
01:05:09Get out!
01:05:14Thank you for your time.
01:05:16If you reconsider, please give me a call.
01:05:22How arrogant.
01:05:24Reminds me of my younger self.
01:05:28Wait, so hang on.
01:05:35What you're trying to tell me is...
01:05:37I've never been poor a day in my life.
01:05:40I just wanted you to see the real me.
01:05:42That's what I was trying to tell you that day in the restaurant.
01:05:44But you wouldn't hear me out.
01:05:46So you just created a fake marriage?
01:05:50A contract marriage?
01:05:51And why not move on to someone else?
01:05:53Contract marriage?
01:05:54But what if I hadn't signed it?
01:05:56What was going to be your next scheme?
01:05:57I told you.
01:05:59You're the only person that I ever wanted to see me for who I was.
01:06:05And it wasn't a sham contract.
01:06:07I would have kept my end of the bargain at the end of the three months.
01:06:12What if I hadn't signed it?
01:06:13What would have your next scheme, Dean?
01:06:15There was no next scheme because I knew you would sign it.
01:06:19How did you know that?
01:06:20Because I know you.
01:06:22Emma, you're willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want.
01:06:27Just like I am.
01:06:29You seem to know a lot about me.
01:06:32I really don't know what's going on here.
01:06:35But Em, if you're willing to accept his marriage proposal,
01:06:39you can have the company.
01:06:42No, Father.
01:06:45There's no marriage proposal.
01:06:47Just a web of lies and deceit in this sick man's games.
01:06:52There is now.
01:06:55Emma, you're the only one I've ever wanted.
01:06:58The only one I love.
01:07:00I'm sorry I had to pretend to be someone I wasn't.
01:07:06But, if you're willing to make an honest man out of me,
01:07:09I promise, no more games or half-truths.
01:07:14Emma, will you marry me?
01:07:23Will you marry me?
01:07:24Jeff, you're a very curious human being.
01:07:31But you have been very kind and caring to me over the last few months.
01:07:35And even though I've been a total bitch,
01:07:38I hate to admit it, but I have grown fond of you.
01:07:42So is that a yes?
01:07:43Well, we've already been married for two months.
01:07:46Might as well give it a real shot.
01:07:50Yes!
01:07:50Yes!
01:07:54Oh, looks like I missed the family reunion.
01:08:00Guess my invitation got lost in the mail.
01:08:03No, Jonas, you're just in the nick of time.
01:08:05Your sister is getting married.
01:08:07Oh, that's wonderful news.
01:08:09I'm not finished.
01:08:11It is also my final decision that she takes over as CEO of Castro Enterprises
01:08:15and that you step down effective immediately.
01:08:19Like hell I will.
01:08:21I'm your son!
01:08:22No son of mine would swap out my medication for a placebo
01:08:25so that I would die faster.
01:08:28Yeah, I knew about that.
01:08:30I might be sick, but I am not senile.
01:08:33I didn't want it to come to this.
01:08:35I don't want something I'm in my other choice.
01:08:37What are you doing?
01:08:38Dude, what the hell are you doing?
01:08:40That's how father, 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 father.
01:08:47Just think about what you're doing.
01:08:49Put it down.
01:08:58Step out of the way, Emma.
01:08:59I'm not going to tell you again.
01:09:01No, please.
01:09:02Think about what you're doing.
01:09:03This is how father.
01:09:04Put it down.
01:09:05What the fuck do you think you're doing, Emma?
01:09:06Get out of the way.
01:09:07No.
01:09:08It's okay, Emma.
01:09:09I'll handle this.
01:09:10No, please let me talk to him.
01:09:12Talk to who?
01:09:13This piece of shit?
01:09:14This 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,
01:09:23then you can go to the grave with him.
01:09:25No, no, no.
01:09:26No.
01:09:26No.
01:09:29Father.
01:09:30Father, no.
01:09:32No, Father.
01:09:36Father, please, no.
01:09:40Please, call an ambulance.
01:09:42I'll call an ambulance.
01:09:43It's too late, Em.
01:09:45It's too late.
01:09:46Father, please.
01:09:47Em, don't worry.
01:09:49It'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.
01:10:02Oh, no.
01:10:02No.
01:10:03No.
01:10:04No.
01:10:04No.
01:10:06No.
