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

01:09:57It's too late.
01:09:58Father, please.
01:10:00Don't worry.
01:10:01It's fine.
01:10:03Know that I'm so proud of you.
01:10:06And your mother would have been so proud of you, too.
01:10:12I'll send her your love.
01:10:13Father, no!
01:10:15No, no, no!
