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

01:10:00call an ambulance.
01:10:00It's too late,
01:10:01Em.
01:10:02It's too late.
01:10:02Father,

01:10:05And don't worry.
01:10:06It's fine.
01:10:08Know that I'm so proud of you.
01:10:12And your mother would have been
01:10:13so proud of you, too.
01:10:16I'll send her your love.
