00:00:00Father, what's the meaning of this? How could you do this to me?
00:00:15Well, good morning, Emmeline. I see you're in a great mood again.
00:00:19After everything I've done for you, the family, the company, this is how you reward me?
00:00:23Calm down and let me know what you're saying.
00:00:26Oh, so you're going to deny it?
00:00:27Denying what? I still have no idea what you're talking about.
00:00:30The rumors going around the company that you're stepping down in three months and you've already named Jonas your successor.
00:00:34So that's what this drama is about?
00:00:36Yes.
00:00:37Yeah, it's true.
00:00:38That's ridiculous. Jonas can't take care of himself, let alone a whole company.
00:00:42I mean, all he does is spend his money on partying and women and I'm the one who actually does the work.
00:00:47Yes, and that's why you're the chief operating officer.
00:00:50Look, I need you with your skill set in that role so that you can support your brother so that he too can succeed.
00:00:56Well, what if I make you an author?
00:01:00One you can't refuse.
00:01:01I'm listening.
00:01:07I'm listening. Have a seat.
00:01:12Father, I am certain this is an offer you're going to appreciate.
00:01:16An offer I'm going to appreciate?
00:01:18You're getting married.
00:01:19Great, because we both know you're not getting any younger.
00:01:22What? No, I'm talking about a business proposal, not a marriage.
00:01:26Oh, okay. Well, what's your business proposal?
00:01:30Okay.
00:01:30So, what if I could secure a partnership with the Anderson Corporation?
00:01:35The Anderson Corporation? I've been trying to land that account for 10 years. It's impossible. It can't be done.
00:01:41No, I have my ways, Father. I just need you to trust me.
00:01:45Hmm. If it was anybody else, I would say no. But you're my daughter and I trust you.
00:01:54But, just to let you know, I am going to be publicly announcing my retirement in three months.
00:02:00So you have three months to change my mind.
00:02:03Um, thank you, but I was hoping just to have a little more time.
00:02:07Three months, and not a day more.
00:02:29Fucking hell. I just don't get it. I have sent out a million proposals at this point, and I still had no response.
00:02:37Mail for Mr. Milleen-Kestrel?
00:02:43Yes. Thank you.
00:02:53Yes, who is it?
00:02:55Yes, Cynthia. What do you want?
00:02:57Um, I've got mail from the Anderson Corporation.
00:02:59I think they finally responded.
00:03:01What'd they say?
00:03:02Oh, I don't know. It's sealed.
00:03:03Don't you stand there. Bring it to me.
00:03:07Oh, my God.
00:03:15This is for Mr. X himself.
00:03:17He's asked me to come meet him at his private residence to discuss the terms of the contract.
00:03:21Oh, my God. It's great news.
00:03:24I'll cancel the rest of your appointments for the afternoon.
00:03:26No. No, I don't think that'll be necessary.
00:03:30Why not?
00:03:31I'm not going.
00:03:32I'm not going.
00:03:37What do you mean you're not going?
00:03:41This is the big break you've been waiting for.
00:03:44I know.
00:03:44I know.
00:03:45But does something about this seem off to you?
00:03:49Off?
00:03:50What do you mean, off?
00:03:52You've sent out a million proposals, and now suddenly we get a response from Mr. X himself?
00:03:57I guess so, Ms. Castro.
00:03:59But what do you have to lose?
00:04:01Honestly, you've been waiting for this.
00:04:04Might as well.
00:04:05Hey, you. Gardner.
00:04:25I'm here to meet Mr. X. Am I in the right place?
00:04:31Do I know you from somewhere?
00:04:32Yes, I imagine you do.
00:04:36I'm...
00:04:36Unimportant.
00:04:37I'm here to meet Mr. X.
00:04:39Is this the place?
00:04:42He's waiting for you.
00:04:43Just through that door and down the hall.
00:04:45Okay.
00:05:02What doesartz.
00:05:04P bush?
00:05:04What do you think?
00:05:05Good night.
00:05:06Good night.
00:05:07So, you have a chance of touching your mind.
00:05:09I'll see you soon.
00:05:12Put this you on.
00:05:16Good night.
00:05:18Good night.
00:05:19Thank you, everybody.
00:05:20Honestly, everybody is so big.
00:05:21I hope you can enjoy your mind.
00:05:26I hope you HahnemANC you got it around me today.
00:05:27Thanks.
00:05:28Peace.
00:05:28I don't know what kind of a sick game you're playing, but you should go back outside and
00:05:44keep raking up leaves.
00:05:45I don't think your boss would be too happy with you wearing his clothes and sitting on
00:05:49his expensive couch.
00:05:53You still don't remember me, do you?
00:05:57Remember you?
00:05:58No way, you're Jeff?
00:06:10In the flesh, you look like you've seen a ghost.
00:06:15You haven't answered my question.
00:06:17What's going on here?
00:06:18Well, you arranged a meeting with Mr. X, so here we are.
00:06:23I imagine this is all a little much for you to take in.
00:06:26This doesn't make any sense.
00:06:32I just saw you outside pruning plants and now you're giving me a glass of whiskey.
00:06:38Is this a prank?
00:06:39Are there cameras?
00:06:41Cameras?
00:06:42I don't much care for intrusive technology and I don't think it's a crime for a man to
00:06:48tend his own garden.
00:06:49I get a lot of satisfaction from doing it myself.
00:06:52It's therapeutic.
00:06:53So, what you're trying to tell me is-
00:06:56I'm Mr. X. I'm the one you came here to see.
00:07:00Now, shall we dispense with the charades and get down to business or would you care to be
00:07:05hysterical for a few more minutes?
00:07:06Bullshit.
00:07:07Bullshit.
00:07:08You're lying.
00:07:09Are you just admit it and stop playing games?
00:07:12You don't have to believe me.
00:07:13I'm not trying to convince you.
00:07:14The door's still open.
00:07:15You're welcome to leave.
00:07:20I've got to say, this looks really good.
00:07:28One of the best proposals I've read in a while, in fact.
00:07:32I guess all the media I say about you is true.
00:07:36But the figures we're looking at here run to the billions of dollars.
00:07:38Are you sure you can manage such resources?
00:07:40But I have a detailed project plan and I-
00:07:44I've looked at your plan.
00:07:48And I've had my team go through it as well.
00:07:50The simple truth is, your company does not have the resources to manage such a large project.
00:07:55On paper at least.
00:07:56Your father has consecutively been turned down over 30 times in the past 10 years for
00:08:00this reason alone.
00:08:02What makes you think we'd accept your company's offer this time?
00:08:04You've been rejected so many times before.
00:08:06You've had all that information and you've still invited me here.
00:08:10So that begs the question, what am I really doing here?
00:08:15No, Emma.
00:08:18You're always as intelligent as you are beautiful.
00:08:20Don't patronize me.
00:08:22Alright.
00:08:23I won't waste your time.
00:08:25I brought you here to make you an offer.
00:08:27One that could help you secure what you came for.
00:08:33Help me secure what I came for.
00:08:39You mean the contract.
00:08:40Did you come for something else?
00:08:42No.
00:08:43I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
00:08:47So what's the offer?
00:08:48Take it.
00:08:50Open.
00:08:51What is this supposed to be?
00:08:58You're a smart woman.
00:08:59I'm sure you can read what's on the paper.
00:09:01This is a marriage contract.
00:09:04Between you and me.
00:09:06Contractual terms of the marriage outlined in detail.
00:09:10Contract set to expire in three months.
00:09:12What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?
00:09:18You think I would willingly sell myself into servitude just for a contract?
00:09:23Let's not play games, Emma.
00:09:25I feel they're a waste of time and I don't have much of it to spare.
00:09:28I'm guessing the same is true for you.
00:09:30I know the reason you're here, or dare I say the motive behind your actions.
00:09:36What motives could that possibly be?
00:09:38Oh, I don't know.
00:09:40The fact that your father is publicly resigning from his position as CEO in three months?
00:09:45Or that he's naming someone who is not you as his successor?
00:09:49So you thought that securing a massive contract like the Anderson Corporation could change his
00:09:56mind and finally give you the recognition you feel you deserve?
00:10:01Let me know if I missed something.
00:10:08How could you possibly know all this, down to such detail?
00:10:12In this line of business, information is key.
00:10:15And I always have my way of getting the information I want.
00:10:19But, so you've been spying on me.
00:10:21I should get a restraining order against you.
00:10:23I wouldn't call it spying when your family's business is always on the news.
00:10:27It's just simple deduction, putting two and two together.
00:10:31And how exactly do you plan to get a restraining order against a man who doesn't exist?
00:10:36What are you talking about?
00:10:38I know you.
00:10:39You're sitting right in front of me.
00:10:42What do you really know about me?
00:10:44Besides the fact that my name might be Jeff?
00:10:46Might be.
00:10:48The world knows me as Mr. X.
00:10:50You have a name and a face, but little else.
00:10:52I drove here, remember?
00:10:54I know where you live.
00:10:57I have a dozen homes across the state, none of which are in my name.
00:11:02But I think we're getting a little off topic here.
00:11:04You have a contract in front of you that can make all of your dreams come true.
00:11:09The question is, do you have the balls to take it?
00:11:14Of course, you could walk away, turn it down, and none of this will have happened.
00:11:21But remember, this is a one-time offer.
00:11:25So, decide.
00:11:26Can I at least take some time to go through it carefully, and then make a decision?
00:11:37Smart woman.
00:11:39I'll give you three days to decide.
00:11:41After which, the contract will be withdrawn.
00:11:45And nobody is to know about our little arrangement.
00:11:47Is that clear?
00:11:48Yes.
00:11:57God damn it.
00:11:58This ass almost had to be out of his goddamn mind.
00:12:01He wants to turn me into a slave, and for what?
00:12:04Are you hiding something from your baby sister?
00:12:07Hiding?
00:12:08I don't need to hide anything from you.
00:12:10You're always too intoxicated to see clearly anyway.
00:12:12Oh, Emma, you never miss an opportunity to have a go at me, do you?
00:12:17It's bad enough I always have pops on my back.
00:12:19On your back?
00:12:20You're clearly his favorite.
00:12:22I mean, he gives you everything on a gulp platter, and you just take it for granted.
00:12:26You think you have everything figured out, don't you?
00:12:29When in truth, you're just a scared little girl running around seeking validation from her daddy.
00:12:35What are you doing here, Jonas?
00:12:36I know you didn't just come to say hi.
00:12:38I have a lot to get done today.
00:12:39What? I can't just come check up on my little sister?
00:12:43You haven't even offered me a seat yet. Now that's not very nice.
00:12:46Sorry, I just have a lot going on. Have a seat.
00:12:58This is a nice office you have here.
00:13:00But, uh, remind me to give you a raise when I finally take over.
00:13:04Now, can you please tell me why you're here?
00:13:07Get down to business, you mean?
00:13:10Well, I'd like you to tell father that you're no longer interested in the position of CEO,
00:13:15and that you would gladly let me take the lead as your big brother.
00:13:17And why the hell would I want to do that?
00:13:28Maybe because I asked nicely? With a cute little smile on my face?
00:13:32I could do a sad face if you'd like.
00:13:34This is ridiculous. I don't have time for this. I have work to do. I don't have time for your games.
00:13:39Or maybe you don't have a shot at winning. And you might get yourself hurt.
00:13:43Is that a threat, big brother?
00:13:46A threat? I'm just trying to look out for you, kiddo.
00:13:49Politics can be a dirty game.
00:13:51Well, thank you so much for your concern, Jonas. I really appreciate it.
00:13:56But I've made up my mind. I'm not chickening out.
00:13:59You've always had a hard time listening to simple instructions, haven't you?
00:14:05You see, here's what bothers me. Why do you even want it, anyway?
00:14:11I mean, you barely have enough time for yourself, let alone running the day-to-day operations of a
00:14:16huge company like this. And even if I'm CEO, you'll still have plenty of money to fund your extravagant
00:14:21lifestyle. So why do you want it?
00:14:26You know what? You're right. I don't have time to manage any of this. Which is why I want to make you
00:14:33second-in-command. You'll get to manage all the day-to-day operations and make the big decisions.
00:14:38You'll basically be the one in charge and I'll just be the pretty face of the company. How's that sound?
00:14:44You're out of your mind, Jonas.
00:14:49So, let me get this straight. You want me to do all the work around here and you just get to take the
00:14:54credit? Would that be too much to ask of my little sister? I don't know what delusional world you're
00:15:00living in, but you need to wake up because that's never going to happen, Jonas.
00:15:05Let me ask you this. How do you envision this will end? You think I'd stand idly by while you
00:15:12take my fucking birthright? Well, when last I checked, we both had the same last name.
00:15:17I don't remember when that right was conferred to you.
00:15:20You think father will entertain this sick fantasy of yours? Just like when you're a kid so he wants to
00:15:25just see you get tired out before he comes to console you. I'm just trying to save you from all
00:15:30that stress. Again, thank you for your concern, brother. It's deeply appreciated, but I'll have to
00:15:37pass on your offer. Fine. If you won't hear the voice of reason, so be it. But don't come crying to me
00:15:45when things get ugly. Dare I ask, is that a threat I detect, brother? It's not a very nice way to talk to
00:15:51your little sister, is it? You know, you're lucky I- Emma, you asked me to remind you of, um...
00:15:58Sorry, I didn't realize- Alright, Cynthia, my brother here was just leaving.
00:16:04This isn't over, little sister. I'll be back.
00:16:06You had something for me? Oh yeah, your, um, three o'clock appointment. You told me to remind you
00:16:25when our client is here. I tried to buzz you, but you didn't answer. Sorry, Cynthia. I guess I was just a bit distracted.
00:16:31Um, can we reschedule that meeting for later in the week? I'm just not in the right frame of mind right now.
00:16:37I'm sorry to hear that. Is it anything to do with you-know-who?
00:16:41My brother is just being his usual self. He's usually pretty hard to understand. Guess you can't choose
00:16:46your family, can you? Tell me about it. I also have an insufferable brother who doesn't look as good in
00:16:53those chains. What was that? Oh, um, nothing. Um, could I get you a coffee or a cold drink?
00:17:01Oh, you're sweet. Uh, but no, it's all right, Cynthia. I think I just need to be alone with my thoughts.
00:17:08Oh, yes, all right. Um, well, I will take care of the meeting and I will get out of your hair.
00:17:13If you need anything, let me know. Thank you.
00:17:23Father, we need to talk.
00:17:31Clearly you've forgotten your manners and how to knock on a door.
00:17:35Forgive me, Father. I just felt the matter was too urgent. Standing around knocking on doors felt
00:17:40like a waste of time. Right, but what is the matter and why do you smell like a sewer rat?
00:17:48I've just been working hard all day, Father. Working hard inside a bar? Look,
00:17:51I don't have time for this. What do you want?
00:17:53It's funny how nobody around here ever seems to have time when I'm around.
00:17:58It's like I'm some disease that you all want to keep at arm's length.
00:18:01Jonas, you're a grown man. Stop carrying on like a child and tell me what it is that you want.
00:18:09I'd like to know why do you insist on giving Emma the false hope that she could actually take my birthright?
00:18:15Seems pretty cruel, even by your standards.
00:18:18I'll have you know she has every opportunity to succeed in running this company. If she lands the deal,
00:18:24I will honor my promise and hand over the reins.
00:18:28No. You can't do that. You can't do that!
00:18:34Oh, can't I? Just watch me.
00:18:35You can't do this! It's not fair! You can't do this!
00:18:49Wave, you're just trying to teach me a lesson, aren't you?
00:18:53To show me the error of my ways.
00:18:56Well, lesson learned. You didn't have to go this far.
00:19:00Jonas, come and sit down and we'll talk about this man to man.
00:19:05Castro Enterprises is a family business that has been passed down from generation to generation.
00:19:19It was my grandfather's and he passed it down to my father. My father then passed it down to me.
00:19:24But I had to earn it. He didn't just give it over. I had to work my butt off to prove myself to him and
00:19:30earn his respect. Just like your sister has done every single day. But what are you doing?
00:19:35All you are doing is spending our fortune every nickel, penny and dime. I mean that was a $500,000
00:19:41bill just on champagne alone. What are you spending that kind of money on booze for? Are you opening a winery?
00:19:49Jonas, I need you. I need you to start earning my respect and my trust, not squandering our fortune.
00:19:58Father, are you okay? I'm fine. Worry more about your own reputation rather than my health.
00:20:05You know what, father? You're right. I'll do just that. Thank you for setting me on the right path. As always,
00:20:15I won't disappoint you. I promise.
00:20:28Who is it?
00:20:35Miss Castor, I have you a coffee with two sugars.
00:20:37You're the best. And I told you, you don't need to be so formal with me.
00:20:40Oh, yes. Sorry. I keep forgetting.
00:20:43Bring me that coffee.
00:20:45No worries, Emma.
00:20:46Oh, I forgot to ask you. How did things go with Mr. X? He's obviously not a serial killer.
00:20:54No, he was something worse. He's a psychopath.
00:20:57Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. So does that mean you're not going to go ahead with the project?
00:21:02Sorry, one second. Who could this be?
00:21:07Mr. X sends a message. Time's up.
00:21:10Who is it? Is everything okay? Speak of the devil.
00:21:35How do you ever expect me to sign this? Do you really think I'm that desperate?
00:21:40I have to be very careful. Even one excess drop could kill her.
00:21:53There. Dumb. Now, what were you saying, my dear?
00:21:59First of all, I am not your dear. And second of all, do you really expect me to sign this?
00:22:04It's like selling myself into slavery.
00:22:05Are you listening to me? Is this a joke to you?
00:22:12I can hear you. And yelling is not going to help me hear you any better.
00:22:17Yes, that contract in front of you is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery.
00:22:21Because I will own you for the duration.
00:22:24But, you're under no obligation to sign it. You could walk out of here right now and nobody would stop you.
00:22:29So, the fact of the matter remains. You have a decision to make.
00:22:41Fox Dick.
00:22:49Fine. I'll do it.
00:22:51Fantastic. I knew you had it in you.
00:22:56But, can I just make one request?
00:22:59A request? I don't know if I'll like this, but go on.
00:23:05Well, the contract stipulates that I have to publicly agree to be marrying a common gardener, not Mr. X.
00:23:13Yes, I remember putting that in. What about it?
00:23:15Well, just if you could give me some time to convince him.
00:23:20He's stubborn, but I think I can bring him around eventually.
00:23:24This could be problematic.
00:23:28But, all granted, you have 14 days to convince your father.
00:23:32But, no other requests will be granted.
00:23:37Now, shall we proceed?
00:23:43What do you get out of this anyway? Is it some kind of payback or revenge or just a sick thrill?
00:23:57I guess you'll never know.
00:24:01Maybe one day I'll tell you.
00:24:13It's done.
00:24:27Are you happy now?
00:24:28Happy? This is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:24:31So don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:24:35Here, let me give you a hand with that.
00:24:37I can do it myself. Thank you.
00:24:39You're just about done.
00:24:48There.
00:24:50I need to change my clothes.
00:24:52Can you at least turn around and close your eyes or something?
00:24:55I could, but I think we need to start getting comfortable with each other sooner rather than later.
00:25:00We're a happily married couple now, remember?
00:25:01It says so right on the certificate.
00:25:04But I guess we don't have to get comfortable right now.
00:25:10I promise I won't stare.
00:25:17Is this the part where you forced me to sleep with you to consummate our fake marriage?
00:25:22I did not force you to do anything.
00:25:25But 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?
00:25:45Someday we are gonna be together.
00:25:47If you don't have an appointment, please sit down and I'll be with you shortly.
00:26:02I don't think I need an appointment.
00:26:04I pretty much own the company.
00:26:07I am so sorry, Mr. Castro. I didn't see you walk in.
00:26:11It's okay, sweetheart.
00:26:13Have you seen my sister around? I've been trying to get a hold of her.
00:26:16Um, no, but I can write down something for you and I can get it to her.
00:26:22No, it's fine. I prefer to have my meetings face to face, if you know what I mean.
00:26:27Just let me know when she comes by, okay?
00:26:29Yes, of course.
00:26:33You're Emma's personal assistant, right?
00:26:38So you know a lot about the things that go on around here, right?
00:26:41I mean, I do her schedules, I write her meetings, I get her coffee, I write her proposals while I draft him, and then I also, I run around all day making sure...
00:26:54I am so sorry, Mr. Castro. I kind of start blabbing and then I can't stop and then it just...
00:27:00It's okay, sweetheart. You know, I do have a thing for intelligent women.
00:27:07Why don't I take you on a date?
00:27:10I'll take that as a yes. I'll call you. And remember, my sister can't know about this.
00:27:30I'll take that as a yes.
00:27:31I'll take that as a yes.
00:27:33I'll take that as a yes.
00:27:39Emma, where have you been? I haven't seen you in two days. Are you okay?
00:27:44You look terrible, no offense.
00:27:46Yeah, sorry. I just had a lot going on, that's all.
00:27:49Yeah, yeah, of course. Do you care to tell me?
00:27:53Right. Close the door.
00:27:55Yeah, close.
00:28:00All right, what I'm about to say, it has to stay between you and me, okay? It needs to be confidential.
00:28:08Yes, yes, of course. You can trust me.
00:28:10I know. Sometimes I feel like you're the only one I can trust.
00:28:14So, the last two days I was away, I got married and kind of signed my life away.
00:28:20Oh my god. I have so many questions.
00:28:24I bet. Let's hear them.
00:28:26Well, who did you get married to? Um, where did you get married? How?
00:28:34All I can say is I've married a gardener, and I even have a marriage contract to prove it.
00:28:40I'm supposed to make an announcement in two weeks' time, but no one can know
00:28:44until I've had a chance to speak with my father first.
00:28:46Yes, of course. Do you think he's going to approve? I don't think he is.
00:28:50Tell me about it. So what else happened when I was away?
00:28:57Not much. Really, just your brother came in?
00:29:00Jonas was here.
00:29:01Yeah. He's always up to something.
00:29:03Did he say something to you?
00:29:05No, he didn't say anything to me.
00:29:12Well, out with it already. Did he do or say something while I was away?
00:29:16No, no. He pretty much just told me to let you know that he dropped by. That was it.
00:29:23Are you okay?
00:29:25Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Um, did you want me to call him for you? I can let him know,
00:29:31and maybe leave a note, and he could...
00:29:33No, it's fine. I'm seeing him tonight for a family dinner, so
00:29:37whatever he has to say to me, he can say it then.
00:29:41Okay.
00:29:46You look as ravishing as ever, little sister. Did you do something with your hair?
00:30:13No, it's the same as when you saw it last time. But you look a little less drunk than usual.
00:30:19That's an improvement.
00:30:21Darling sister, might you by any chance be implying in front of father that I'm an alcoholic?
00:30:27Now that wouldn't be very nice, would it?
00:30:29Well, I'm certainly not implying you're a workaholic, that's for sure.
00:30:32Enough! Can't we just have one meal in peace, please?
00:30:37Sorry, father.
00:30:37Sorry, father.
00:30:44Father, if I were to tell you I'm getting married, getting married to a man,
00:30:51how would you feel about that?
00:30:53Well, that would be wonderful news.
00:30:55The best news I've heard in a long, long time.
00:30:58So, who is this mystery man?
00:31:01Well, don't get too excited. It's just a hypothetical question.
00:31:16You really had me going there for a second.
00:31:19I almost took you seriously.
00:31:21What dude would want to get married to boring old you?
00:31:24What did you just say to me? Father, did you hear what he just called me?
00:31:28Sure, go running to daddy. Maybe he'll tuck you in and rock you to sleep too.
00:31:33You're out of line, Jonas.
00:31:35Then why don't you put me in line, Emma? Or do you need daddy's help to do that too?
00:31:39No, I don't need anybody's help.
00:31:40Enough! Enough!
00:31:41Seriously, why must you always beat each other's throats?
00:31:44Emmeline, put the knife away!
00:31:46Jonas, you're excused from the table.
00:31:49Of course you'd take her side.
00:31:51I don't know why I bother coming to these dinners anyway.
00:31:58Sorry about that, father.
00:31:59That's all right.
00:32:00Now, you were going to tell me about your hypothetical husband.
00:32:04Oh, um, yes. Yes, mother.
00:32:09What does your hypothetical husband do?
00:32:13He's, um...
00:32:15It's okay, you can tell me. Is he an entrepreneur, a business owner?
00:32:19No. Well, you see, he's, um, a gardener.
00:32:26What?
00:32:32He's a gardener.
00:32:34Why are we laughing, father?
00:32:44Your joke. It was hilarious.
00:32:46It's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.
00:32:48Oh, well, you know me. I'm always trying to make you laugh.
00:32:52Yes, and I just, I just wish your mother would have been here to hear it as well.
00:32:57She would have just laughed her head off.
00:33:00So, what is it you really wanted to talk to me about?
00:33:04Oh, um, just that I've opened talks with the Anderson Corporation and they seem quite receptive.
00:33:11So, I think it's only a matter of weeks before the deal is sealed.
00:33:14Well, that is wonderful news. I'm very proud of you.
00:33:16You know, I actually thought this was an impossible undertaking, but you're doing it with exceptional ease.
00:33:24Clearly, the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.
00:33:26Thank you, father. I learned from the best.
00:33:29Well, I would like to know, how did you manage to pull this off?
00:33:34Well, um, I was able to negotiate a mutually beneficial deal and show them how to increase profits,
00:33:42and it was smooth sailing from there.
00:33:45Very impressive. You are clearly going to make an outstanding CEO.
00:33:49Thank you, father.
00:34:04Good evening.
00:34:13Cynthia Darling, this is Jonas. How are you?
00:34:16Yeah, I'm good. I was just calling to see if you were free tonight for that date we were talking about.

00:35:25i could have you anytime anywhere i choose
00:35:33i've just chosen not to exercise that right
00:35:37what because you feel you own me well the contract says i do
00:35:42so why have you chosen not to
00:35:46because i'm not that kind of person what kind of person are you i mean it's like you don't even exist

00:39:45You know how my sister is.
00:39:46Strong-headed, just like my father.
00:39:48She never would have agreed to fast her up front.
00:39:52Okay.
00:39:53You know, there's a lot of space in the back.
00:40:01Here?
00:40:02In public?
00:40:04My sister will never know.
00:40:05Yes, yes, Mr. Rodrigo.
00:40:16Everything's in place to finalize the procurement.
00:40:19Thank you so much for your continual support.
00:40:21I...
00:40:21I am...
00:40:23I'm gonna have to call you back.
00:40:25Breaking news.
00:40:26Top executive married a garden laborer.
00:40:29The business world is stunned by the rumors that the chief operating officer of Casserole
00:40:34Enterprises, one of the largest pharmaceutical conglomerates, is tying the knot with an ordinary
00:40:40working-class man.
00:40:42Miss Kistro...
00:40:42...she was on the verge of sealing the company's largest contract in her company's history.
00:40:49Many question her judgment and the impact this union would have on her family name.
00:40:55And in other news...
00:40:57I trusted you.
00:40:59This is how you repay me?
00:41:00It wasn't me.
00:41:01I swear, you've got to believe me.
00:41:02Don't lie to me.
00:41:03You're the only one I told.
00:41:04How did the media get wind of it?
00:41:05Ella, I would never betray you.
00:41:07You've got to believe me.
00:41:09If you didn't leak the information, then who did?
00:41:12I don't know.
00:41:13I wish I knew.
00:41:14I don't know.
00:41:19You bastard, how could you?
00:41:26How could you do this to me?
00:41:29Emma, you're home early.
00:41:31Is everything all right?
00:41:32No, everything is not all right.
00:41:34How could you do this to me?
00:41:35After you gave me your word, you betrayed me.
00:41:39I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:41:42But I'll be with you in just a sec.
00:41:44I have to finish up here.
00:41:45No one cares about your stupid plans, Jeff.
00:41:50Just tell me why you did it.
00:41:52Tell me.
00:41:53You should not have done that.
00:41:56You really should not have done that.
00:42:00What are you going to do?
00:42:03Leak more stuff to the press?
00:42:04Is it you already have a pretty good head start on that?
00:42:08What are you talking about?
00:42:09I don't know if this makes sense.
00:42:11Leak what to the press?
00:42:12Oh, you don't know.
00:42:13Let me refresh your memory.
00:42:18This is unexpected.
00:42:20But I assure you, I had nothing to do with this.
00:42:22You fucking liar.
00:42:23It has your fingerprints all over it.
00:42:25What would I have to gain from betraying your trust?
00:42:27What would you have to gain?
00:42:29I don't know, Jeff.
00:42:30I don't know why you do anything you do.
00:42:33But you have completely ruined my life.
00:42:36Emma, I...
00:42:38I don't know.
00:42:43Hello?
00:42:45Father?
00:42:46I...
00:42:46What am I going to do?
00:43:02What the fuck am I going to do?
00:43:03This is a complete disaster.
00:43:07How about you just calm down.
00:43:08Take a few deep breaths.
00:43:09It might not be as bad as you're making it out to be.
00:43:11Might not...
00:43:12Might not be as bad?
00:43:13Are you fucking kidding me?
00:43:14What am I going to say to my father?
00:43:16Fuck.
00:43:19Yeah, this looks grim.
00:43:20But I had nothing to do with this.
00:43:24How about instead of throwing accusations around,
00:43:26I just call the station
00:43:27and ask them who gave them the information.
00:43:29Even if you could do that,
00:43:31they would never tell you.
00:43:32Give me a sec.
00:43:35Who the hell are you texting?
00:43:36My accountants.
00:43:38So they can buy the news station
00:43:39and get me the information.
00:43:40You're bluffing.
00:43:42And even if you could do that,
00:43:43that would take forever to arrange.
00:43:45You'd be surprised how quickly
00:43:46you can get things done
00:43:47when you're Mr. X.
00:43:49This is a waste of my time.
00:43:50I just have to face my father
00:43:52and talk to him once and for all.
00:43:55Thanks for nothing.
00:43:56Done.
00:43:56Jonas Castro.
00:44:02I believe that's your brother, isn't it?
00:44:10Well, if it isn't the latest bride to be,
00:44:13I gotta be honest,
00:44:14I didn't see it coming.
00:44:15But the media seems to love it.
00:44:17You snake.
00:44:18How did you know?
00:44:20To be fair,
00:44:21I was surprised as well.
00:44:22I thought you would have had better tastes.
00:44:24But I guess you gotta lower your standards
00:44:26when you've been single for so long.
00:44:28Well, thanks for your concern
00:44:29about my love life.
00:44:31Why don't you mind your own business
00:44:32and butt out?
00:44:34Well, little sister,
00:44:35it became my business
00:44:36when you decided to embarrass the family name
00:44:38and drag us all through the mud.
00:44:40That's rich.
00:44:41Coming from the guy
00:44:42who's depraved lifestyle
00:44:43gets him in the media
00:44:43every weekend.
00:44:46What can I say?
00:44:47I'm the life of the party.
00:44:48You sound confident,
00:44:50like you think you have me beat.
00:44:51But I'm the one who's about to close
00:44:53the biggest deal
00:44:54in the company's history.
00:44:56You know our father better than anyone.
00:44:58He would never condone any of this.
00:45:00Plus, you're not the only one
00:45:01that can cut big deals for the company.
00:45:03Oh, you think you can cut a deal?
00:45:05You don't even know
00:45:05your way around the office.
00:45:07You'll soon find out
00:45:08I'm a man of many talents.
00:45:11Why don't you go see your father?
00:45:12He's been waiting for you.
00:45:17Good luck.
00:45:19You'll need it.
00:45:21Father?
00:45:26Tell me it isn't true.
00:45:28Tell me this is just another media stunt
00:45:29designed to ruin this family's reputation.
00:45:32Father, I'm sorry.
00:45:33What the media is saying is true.
00:45:34I never meant for you
00:45:35to find out like this.
00:45:36Em, of all the men in the world,
00:45:38you choose a mere commoner,
00:45:39a gardener?
00:45:40Have you no self-respect?
00:45:42Have you no respect for this family?
00:45:44I know it doesn't make sense,
00:45:46but please, I need you to trust me.
00:45:47Trust you?
00:45:48You're actively bringing shame
00:45:50to this family
00:45:50and you expect me to trust you?
00:45:52Father, please.
00:45:53Who is this man?
00:45:55What is he doing
00:45:56to manipulate you like this?
00:45:57Are you being blackmailed?
00:45:58Are you pregnant?
00:46:00Once I seal the deal
00:46:01with the Anderson Corporation,
00:46:03I promise you
00:46:03it'll all make sense.
00:46:04I'm afraid that will
00:46:06no longer be necessary.
00:46:07What?
00:46:08What do you mean?
00:46:09While you were busy gardening,
00:46:11your brother came to me
00:46:12with a proposal
00:46:13that I could not refuse.
00:46:15A proposal?
00:46:17Open it.
00:46:22This is my client's!
00:46:24What?
00:46:28Not anymore.
00:46:29No.
00:46:34Father, that's not fair.
00:46:41This is my client.
00:46:43Not anymore.
00:46:44It doesn't matter
00:46:44how Jonas got the account,
00:46:45it is his now.
00:46:46Emmeline,
00:46:47you no longer need to worry
00:46:48about the Anderson Corporation account.
00:46:50Oh, please.
00:46:51Don't stop me now
00:46:52when I'm so close to the end.
00:46:53My decision is made.
00:46:55Jonas will now be the successor
00:46:56of Castro Enterprises.
00:46:58Oh, Father, please.
00:46:59Please, I'm begging you.
00:47:00Don't do this to me.
00:47:01Please.
00:47:02All right.
00:47:02I will give you one more chance
00:47:05on one condition.
00:47:07Of course, of course, anything.
00:47:09I want to meet this gardener as yours.
00:47:10I want to know who it is
00:47:11that has stolen my daughter's heart.
00:47:14You can't do this, Father.
00:47:16You simply just can't.
00:47:18She would disgrace the family name
00:47:19and you would condone it?
00:47:21Jonas, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:47:22Have you lost your mind?
00:47:24No, Father.
00:47:25I've lost my patience.
00:47:27I am your son.
00:47:29I am your heir.
00:47:30It is my birthright
00:47:32to be your successor.
00:47:34Jonas, how dare you speak to me like this?
00:47:36I will decide
00:47:37who will and who will not
00:47:38run like this.
00:47:40Father?
00:47:41Father, are you okay?
00:47:45Father, no!
00:47:47Father!
00:47:51Oh, Em,
00:47:52with that sad look off your face,
00:47:54it's going to take a lot more than this
00:47:55to bring me down.
00:47:56Father, that's not funny.
00:47:58You shouldn't be speaking.
00:47:59You should be resting.
00:48:00What, you're going to start
00:48:01treating me like a vegetable now?
00:48:03The doctor said all I need to do
00:48:04is take those tablets
00:48:05and I'll be as right as rain.
00:48:08Oh, darling.
00:48:10You're looking more and more
00:48:11like your mother.
00:48:13She would have been so proud of you
00:48:14and the woman you've become.
00:48:16Just as I am.
00:48:20Where's your brother?
00:48:22Right here, old man.
00:48:23Glad to see you're still kicking.
00:48:29For a moment there, I thought you...
00:48:30Don't you fucking dare.
00:48:31You did this to him.
00:48:33So it's my fault he's lying in bed like this.
00:48:36I'm the one that put him in this state.
00:48:37Please, stop this bickering.
00:48:39I really can't cope with it anymore.
00:48:41Sorry, Father.
00:48:42Look, since I am temporarily unable
00:48:47to fulfill my role
00:48:48as the head of Castro Enterprises,
00:48:50I will need to appoint a temporary CEO.
00:48:55And Jonas, despite everything you have done,
00:48:58you have proven yourself a worthy candidate.
00:49:01So I will appoint you as CEO temporarily.
00:49:04What?
00:49:06No.
00:49:07Em, this is not a permanent position.
00:49:10I will not make my final decision
00:49:11until I have met your man
00:49:12and seen the contract.
00:49:34Jonas, what are you doing here?
00:49:44Hello, Father.
00:49:45Are you feeling well-rested?
00:49:48Do you feel any better?
00:49:50No, not really.
00:49:51About the same.
00:49:54But why the sudden interest in my well-being
00:49:57that's a little out of character for you?
00:50:00That's hurtful, Father.
00:50:01Your health is of top priority to me.
00:50:05I noticed your pills were running low,
00:50:07so I decided to refill them for you.
00:50:10Would you like to have a look?
00:50:12No, just give them to me, please.
00:50:24Well, I should be getting out of your hair.
00:50:27Get well soon, Pops.
00:50:31Well, hey!
00:50:41Watch where you're going.
00:50:42Sorry, sister.
00:50:43I didn't see you there.
00:50:45I must have been absent-minded.
00:50:47You're being too nice.
00:50:48What are you up to?
00:50:49What do you mean, what am I up to?
00:50:51I just apologized for almost pushing you over.
00:50:54What are you doing in Father's room?
00:50:56Now I can't check up on my own father?
00:50:58What do you people take me for around here?
00:51:14Jonas.
00:51:16What are you doing here, and why are you in my seat?
00:51:20Didn't you hear?
00:51:20I'm in charge now, so technically, this is my seat.
00:51:25Do you actually need something, or did you just come here to gloat?
00:51:29Emma, Emma.
00:51:30You always like to get straight down to business, don't you?
00:51:33Well, let's get to it.
00:51:35You are obligated to report all findings and dealings to the company head.
00:51:39Yet, after looking through all of your files, I can't seem to find anything on the Anderson Corporation.
00:51:47Why is that?
00:51:48Why do you want the details of the deal?
00:51:50So you can steal my client again, like you did last time?
00:51:53Come on, Emma.
00:51:54Don't be petty.
00:51:56I finalized a contract that was sitting on your desk for weeks.
00:51:59It's all in the company's best interest.
00:52:02Company's best interest?
00:52:03Or your best interest, Jonas?
00:52:04Well, I am currently the Chief Executive Officer, so my interest is the company's best interest.
00:52:14Of course, you never did tell me how you got the details of the contract in the first place.
00:52:19I never pegged you as someone who was scurrying around like a rat.
00:52:23I don't scurry you.
00:52:24I have people for that.
00:52:26It's the mark of a true leader.
00:52:27You know, you could really learn a thing or two from me, Emma.
00:52:30I knew it.
00:52:31I knew you had someone on the inside.
00:52:32Wait, that means that someone's...
00:52:37That fucking bitch!
00:52:51Emma, good...
00:52:52It's Miss Castro to you.
00:52:54Going somewhere?
00:52:55Um, yes.
00:52:57I have something to tell you that...
00:52:58Meaning to tell me what, exactly?
00:53:00That you're a liar?
00:53:01A backstabber?
00:53:02That you've been conniving with my brother behind my back?
00:53:05What exactly were you meaning to tell me?
00:53:07Emma, I know it looks bad, but I never lied about any...
00:53:10Don't lie to me.
00:53:13Have some dignity.
00:53:15I trusted you and you betrayed me.
00:53:18I hardly think this is appropriate workplace behavior, little sister.
00:53:21I could have you sanctioned for assaulting my personal assistant.
00:53:26Your personal assistant.
00:53:28So that's what this is.
00:53:29You sold me out.
00:53:31Cynthia, darling, wait for me in my office.
00:53:34I'll be with you shortly.
00:53:36Emma, it wasn't meant to be like this.
00:53:40I'm sorry.
00:53:41As CEO, I'm responsible for the well-being of all my employees.
00:53:55I'm sure you understand.
00:53:57Interim CEO.
00:53:58Let's see how long you can hold on to that position once Father recovers, sweet brother.
00:54:02Oh, Emma, I plan to hold on to this position for a very, very long time.
00:54:22Hey, um, I really wanted to apologize for the way I treated you and that I doubted you.
00:54:29And I shouldn't have broken your plan.
00:54:31That was a stupid thing to do.
00:54:35I never thought I'd see the day that Emily and Castro would apologize.
00:54:39Well, don't get used to it.
00:54:40It's not going to happen again.
00:54:44Actually, scratch that.
00:54:47I think, I think it will happen more often.
00:54:51I know I haven't been the best fake wife to you, but you've been good to me.
00:54:57And you've been kind and patient.
00:54:58And you didn't try and force yourself on me when you could have.
00:55:02Emma, you don't have to.
00:55:04Oh, please.
00:55:04Just let me finish, okay?
00:55:06It's, this is really hard for me to say.
00:55:09But I also want to apologize for how I've treated you in the past.
00:55:12I've been self-centered and egocentric.
00:55:15And I'm sorry.
00:55:19It's okay, Emma.
00:55:21And just so you know, this isn't about revenge.
00:55:24What is it about?
00:55:25I mean, what do you stand to gain from his contract?
00:55:28I can't tell you.
00:55:30Not yet.
00:55:30I figured.
00:55:32Well, can you at least show me what you're painting?
00:55:35I never knew you were an artist.
00:55:37Hmm.
00:55:38There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:55:40I bet.
00:55:41So, can I see it?
00:55:44Why don't you come see?
00:55:51But, but why?
00:55:59It's beautiful.
00:56:01But why would you paint a picture of me?
00:56:04I don't recall it being a crime to paint a picture of a beautiful and fascinating woman.
00:56:10Well, maybe I can see it when it's finished.
00:56:16Maybe.
00:56:17We'll see.
00:56:22Emma.
00:56:24I know you just, you didn't come all this way to apologize.
00:56:30And I know that look on your face.
00:56:32What's going on?
00:56:33Well, so now you can read my emotions and know when something's wrong?
00:56:38Well, I think I've always been able to do that with you.
00:56:42You pat your lips every time you're worried.
00:56:46I also know that your father's fallen ill.
00:56:50And that your brother's taking control of the company.
00:56:52How do you know that?
00:56:53That hasn't even gone public yet.
00:56:55I have my ways.
00:56:57And I always keep a close eye on my assets.
00:57:00The question is, what are you going to do?
00:57:05At this stage, I don't know.
00:57:09My father said the only way he'd even entertain the idea of me getting married to a gardener
00:57:13is if he met the man first.
00:57:15But I know the contract I signed says that I can't do that.
00:57:19So I guess you could say I'm out of options.
00:57:22Hmm.
00:57:22Hmm.
00:57:25That is a precarious situation.
00:57:30And it would void the contract.
00:57:35But I'll do it.
00:57:38What?
00:57:39What did you just say?
00:57:40I said I'll do it.
00:57:42I'll go with you to see your father.
00:57:45But why would you do that?
00:57:46That doesn't make any sense.
00:57:47All I can say is that in this respect,
00:57:50our goals are aligned.
00:57:52Oh, goals aligned?
00:57:53What goals are you talking about, Jeff?
00:57:55I, what goals?
00:57:57Don't worry about that now.
00:57:59Everything will make sense soon.
00:58:07We can go right now if you'd like.
00:58:09I'll grab my coat.
00:58:09Cynthia, darling.
00:58:18Why the long face?
00:58:19We should be celebrating my victory, not sulking.
00:58:22I should have never helped you.
00:58:24Your sister hates me because she thinks I betrayed her.
00:58:27And rightfully so.
00:58:28I didn't realize you were going to use that information against her.
00:58:31And if I did, I wouldn't have helped you.
00:58:33All you care about is yourself.
00:58:35I think you've been well compensated for your efforts.
00:58:38A salary bump, a triple promotion.
00:58:41I'd expect you to be more grateful.
00:58:43I'm sorry.
00:58:44I'm grateful.
00:58:45But what's going to happen when your dad wakes up?
00:58:48Is it going to be the same?
00:58:50Who says my father's going to recover?
00:58:51What do you mean by that?
00:59:02Everyone keeps going on and on about how my father's going to recover and all the things
00:59:05that will happen.
00:59:06But my father has a very serious illness and he might not recover.
00:59:10And that's just a fact.
00:59:12How could you say that about your own father?
00:59:15I don't think I've said anything out of place.
00:59:17My father is very sick and he might be in bed for a very long time.
00:59:21And I'm sure that would definitely suit your agenda, wouldn't it?
00:59:24Are you accusing me of something?
00:59:26No, Jonah.
00:59:27I'm not accusing you of anything.
00:59:28I just think I chose the wrong side.
00:59:31And what side is that?
00:59:32Look, you're not the man that I thought you were.
00:59:36I heard stories, but I didn't think they were true.
00:59:38But clearly they are.
00:59:42And what stories are those?
00:59:44Tell me the tales of Jonas Castro.
00:59:47Jonas Castro?
00:59:49Well, Jonas Castro loves himself.
00:59:50He's an alcoholic.
00:59:52He's a womanizer.
00:59:53He's just pure evil.
00:59:56That's who Jonas Castro is.
01:00:01Look.
01:00:02I can't do this.
01:00:04I'm leaving.
01:00:07Where the fuck do you think you're going?
01:00:11Seems you've forgotten your place.
01:00:14Maybe it's time I reminded you.
01:00:15Please.
01:00:19Let go.
01:00:21Jonas.
01:00:21You really think you can say whatever the fuck you want and get away with it?
01:00:25Look, I think you're drunk.
01:00:26And I think you just need to get off me, please.
01:00:30Let me remind you.
01:00:31You were just a pawn in all of this.
01:00:33Before I came into your life, you were nothing.
01:00:35Please.
01:00:36Please, I'm sorry.
01:00:37Just I'll forget about it and we can go.
01:00:39No, no, no, no.
01:00:41Wait.
01:00:41I think I need to teach you a lesson.
01:00:43I don't ever forget.
01:00:50You seem pretty confident.
01:00:52I guess you've done a lot of stuff like this before.
01:00:55Not really.
01:00:56Any advice on approaching your father?
01:00:58Well, he already doesn't like you.
01:01:01So I guess just be yourself.
01:01:02Let's get the sofa with him.
01:01:07Father.
01:01:09I'm here.
01:01:10You're not alone.
01:01:12I'm with my fiancée.
01:01:15That's you.
01:01:18Wait.
01:01:19You two know each other?
01:01:21Your father and I have met.
01:01:23It was a long time ago.
01:01:24I'm surprised he remembers.
01:01:26I never forget a face.
01:01:27Especially one as unique as yours.
01:01:31Wait, hang on.
01:01:33This doesn't make any sense.
01:01:34Someone needs to give me some answers.
01:01:36This man came to me a few years ago.
01:01:40Asking for a private meeting to discuss a very important proposal.
01:02:01You're the man I spoke with on the phone?
01:02:18Yes, sir.
01:02:22It's not every day I have a meeting with a total stranger.
01:02:24But you said you had an interesting business proposal.
01:02:27So, what is it?
01:02:28Of course, sir.
01:02:29I understand perfectly.
01:02:31But I said I had an interesting proposal for you.
01:02:34It may not be exactly considered a business proposal.
01:02:38Young man, I don't have time for your silly little word games.
01:02:41So you have five minutes to tell me what the proposal is.
01:02:43Or I will have you thrown out.
01:02:45Right down to business.
01:02:48I would like to ask for your daughter Emma's hand in marriage.
01:03:01I'm sorry.
01:03:02I think my hearing must be playing tricks on me.
01:03:04Could you repeat that for me, please?
01:03:06I said I would like your daughter's hand in marriage.
01:03:11So it seems like my hearing is fine.
01:03:14No, sir.
01:03:14I believe your hearing is still top-notch.
01:03:16So, what makes you think I would go for such a ludicrous idea?
01:03:20Well, I didn't think you'd have a problem with it,
01:03:21since I am the heir to my family's billion-dollar fortune.
01:03:25Is that supposed to impress me?
01:03:27Anyone can claim to be anything these days.
01:03:29That's my family's name, our net worth.
01:03:38We operate several business enterprises,
01:03:40as well as doing philanthropic work.
01:03:42So?
01:03:42A union between your daughter and I would strengthen both our families,
01:03:46galvanizing our position in high society,
01:03:48making us a formidable force.
01:03:50I didn't think you'd have a problem with it.
01:03:53Well, I see you've done your research.
01:03:55But even if I were to give this union my blessing,
01:03:58I could never convince my Emmeline to marry someone that she didn't choose herself.
01:04:02Well, I believe that's where I come in.
01:04:05How so?
01:04:12So, how exactly do you plan on wooing my daughter?
01:04:17Well, in all honesty, sir, it's not a very good plan,
01:04:20but it's one that sets my heart at ease.
01:04:22What exactly are you talking about?
01:04:24I've not had much luck with women in this regard.
01:04:27They always seem to be after me for access to my money.
01:04:31I'm so sick of it.
01:04:33So I intend to disguise myself as a nobody.
01:04:37Are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money,
01:04:41like some pathetic little gold digger?
01:04:42No, no, sir.
01:04:45I just want Emma to get to know me for me, that's all.
01:04:48This is a ridiculous plan.
01:04:49It'll never work.
01:04:50I know, but I'm still willing to try.
01:04:54And if it goes south, no harm done.
01:04:56So what exactly do you want from me?
01:04:58Well, I was hoping you could put in a good word for me,
01:05:00but Emma can't know that you know who I am.
01:05:04Maybe you could say that I'm the son of an old friend.
01:05:06This is a ridiculous plan.
01:05:07I think you just need to leave.
01:05:08It's no secret that you yearn for your daughter
01:05:10to get married to someone worthy from high society.
01:05:15Please just consider the plan.
01:05:17How dare you presume to know me and what it is that I want?
01:05:21Get out!
01:05:22Thank you for your time.
01:05:28If you reconsider, please give me a call.
01:05:34How arrogant.
01:05:37Reminds me of my younger self.
01:05:46Wait, so hang on.
01:05:47What you're trying to tell me is...
01:05:49I've never been poor a day in my life.
01:05:52I just wanted you to see the real me.
01:05:54That's what I was trying to tell you that day in the restaurant.
01:05:56But you wouldn't hear me out.
01:05:58So you just created a fake marriage, a contract marriage?
01:06:03And why not move on to someone else?
01:06:05Contracts marriage?
01:06:06But what if I hadn't signed it?
01:06:08What was going to be your next scheme?
01:06:10I told you.
01:06:12You're the only person that I ever wanted to see me for who I was.
01:06:15And it wasn't a sham contract.
01:06:19I would have kept my end of the bargain at the end of the three months.
01:06:24What if I hadn't signed it?
01:06:25What would have your next scheme been?
01:06:27There was no next scheme because I knew you would sign it.
01:06:31How did you know that?
01:06:32Because I know you.
01:06:35Emma.
01:06:35You're willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want.
01:06:39Just like I am.
01:06:40You seem to know a lot about me.
01:06:44I really don't know what's going on here.
01:06:47But Em, if you're willing to accept his marriage proposal,
01:06:51you can have the company.
01:06:56No, Father.
01:06:57There's no marriage proposal.
01:06:59Just a web of lies and deceit in this sick man's games.
01:07:04There is now.
01:07:05Emma, you're the only one I've ever wanted.
01:07:10The only one I love.
01:07:14I'm sorry I had to pretend to be someone I wasn't.
01:07:18But, if you are willing to make an honest man out of me,
01:07:22I promise, no more games or half-truths.
01:07:26Emma, will you marry me?
01:07:28Will you marry me?
01:07:39Jeff, you're a very curious human being.
01:07:43But you have been very kind and caring to me over the last few months.
01:07:47And even though I've been a total bitch,
01:07:50I hate to admit it, but I have grown fond of you.
01:07:54So is that a yes?
01:07:55Well, we've already been married for two months.
01:07:58Might as well give it a real shot.
01:08:02Yes.
01:08:08Oh.
01:08:09Oh, looks like I missed the family reunion.
01:08:12Guess my invitation got lost in the mail.
01:08:15No, Jonas, you're just in the nick of time.
01:08:17Your sister is getting married.
01:08:19Oh, that's wonderful news.
01:08:21I'm not finished.
01:08:22It is also my final decision that she takes over as CEO of Castro Enterprises
01:08:27and that you step down, effective immediately.
01:08:31Like hell I will.
01:08:33I'm your son!
01:08:34No son of mine would swap out my medication for a placebo
01:08:37so that I would die faster.
01:08:40Yeah, I knew about that.
01:08:42I might be sick, but I am not senile.
01:08:44I didn't want it to come to this.
01:08:47I don't want someone to have no other choice.
01:08:49I'm not going to do this!
01:08:50Dude, what the hell are you doing?
01:08:52That's our father!
01:08:53What are you doing?
01:08:54I'm doing what I should have done a long time ago, little sister.
01:08:58Please, that's our father!
01:08:59Just think about what you're doing!
01:09:01Put it down!
01:09:01Step out of the way, Emma.
01:09:12I'm not going to tell you again.
01:09:13No, please.
01:09:14Think about what you're doing.
01:09:15This is our father.
01:09:16Put it down!
01:09:17What the fuck do you think you're doing, Emma?
01:09:19Get out of the way!
01:09:20No!
01:09:20It's okay, Emma.
01:09:21I'll handle this.
01:09:22No, please let me talk to him.
01:09:24Talk to who?
01:09:25This piece of shit?
01:09:26This disgraceful excuse for a man that I'm ashamed to call my son?
01:09:31Your mother was right about you.
01:09:33If you refuse to get out of the way, Emma, then you can go to the grave with him.
01:09:37No, no, no!
01:09:39No!
01:09:41Father!
01:09:43Father, no!
01:09:45No, Father!
01:09:48Father, please, no!
01:09:50Please, call an ambulance!
01:09:54No, call an ambulance!
01:09:55It's too late, Em.
01:09:57It's too late.
01:09:58Father, please.
01:10:00Em, don't worry.
01:10:01It's fine.
01:10:03Know that I'm so proud of you.
01:10:07And your mother would have been so proud of you, too.
01:10:11I'll send her your love.
01:10:14Father, no!
01:10:15No, no!
01:10:18No!
01:10:20No!
01:10:31No!
01:10:40No!
01:10:47No!
01:10:48No!
