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, so 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.
00:02:08Three months, and not a day more.
00:02:28Fucking hell. I just don't get it. I have sent out a million proposals at this point, and I still had no response.
00:02:35Mail for Mr. Bileen Kestrel?
00:02:43Yes. Thank you.
00:02:53Yes, who is it?
00:02:55Oh, yes, Cynthia. What do you want?
00:02:57Um, I've got mail from the Anderson Corporation. I think they finally responded.
00:03:01What'd they say?
00:03:02Oh, I don't know. It's sealed.
00:03:03Don't. Don't just stand there. Read to me.
00:03:13Oh, my God. This is for Mr. X himself. He's asked me to come meet him at his private residence to discuss the terms of the contract.
00:03:21Oh, my God. It's great news. I'll cancel the rest of your appointments for the afternoon.
00:03:26No, no. No, I don't think that'll be necessary.
00:03:30Why not?
00:03:31I'm not going.
00:03:33What do you mean you're not going? This is the big break you've been waiting for.
00:03:43I know. I 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? Honestly, you've been waiting for this.
00:04:04Might as well.
00:04:05Oh.
00:04:13Hey, you. Gardner. I'm here to meet Mr. X. Am I in the right place?
00:04:31Do I know you from somewhere?
00:04:33Yes, I imagine you do. I'm...
00:04:36Unimportant. I'm here to meet Mr. X. Is this the place?
00:04:40He's waiting for you. Just through that door and down the hall.
00:05:10Hello.
00:05:36Look, I don't know what kind of a sick game you're playing, but you should go back outside and keep raking up leaves.
00:05:46I 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?
00:05:56Remember you?
00:06:06No way. You're Jeff?
00:06:10In the flesh.
00:06:13You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:06:15You haven't answered my question. What's going on here?
00:06:19Well, 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.
00:06:25This doesn't make any sense.
00:06:31I just saw you outside pruning plants, and now you're giving me a glass of whiskey.
00:06:38Is this a prank? Are there cameras?
00:06:42Cameras?
00:06:43I don't much care for intrusive technology.
00:06:46And I don't think it's a crime for a man to tend 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 hysterical for a few more minutes?
00:07:07Bullshit. You're lying.
00:07:09Are you just admit it and stop playing games?
00:07:11You don't have to believe me. I'm not trying to convince you.
00:07:14The door's still open. You're welcome to leave.
00:07:23I've got to say, this looks really good.
00:07:28One of the best proposals I've read in a while, in fact.
00:07:31I guess 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?
00:07:40But I have a detailed project plan, and I...
00:07:44I'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.
00:07:55On paper, at least.
00:07:57Your 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?
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?
00:08:15Oh, Emma.
00:08:17You're always as intelligent as you are beautiful.
00:08:20Don't patronize me.
00:08:22All right. I 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.
00:08:36Help me secure what I came for. You mean the contract.
00:08:41Did 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.
00:08:51Open.
00:08:56What is this supposed to be?
00:08:58You're a smart woman, Emma. I'm sure you can read what's on the paper.
00:09:01This is a marriage contract.
00:09:04What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?
00:09:18What, you think I would willingly sell myself into servitude just for a contract?
00:09:24Let'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.
00:09:29I'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?
00:09:39Oh, 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?
00:09:48So, you thought that securing a massive contract like the Anderson Corporation could change his mind
00:09:56and finally give you the recognition you feel you deserve?
00:10:01Let me know if I missed something.
00:10:02How 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.
00:10:21Well, I 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?
00:10:37Who 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.
00:10:53I drove here, remember?
00:10:54I know where you live.
00:10:55I 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.
00:11:23So, decide.
00:11:29Can 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.
00:11:48Is 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.
00:12:02And 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.
00:12:34What 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.
00:12:40What?
00:12:40I can't just come check up on my little sister?
00:12:43You haven't even offered me a seat yet.
00:12:44Now that's not very nice.
00:12:46Sorry.
00:12:47I just have a lot going on.
00:12:49Have a seat.
00:12:56This is a nice office you have here.
00:12:59But, 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.
00:13:25And why the hell would I want to do that?
00:13:27Maybe 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.
00:13:35This is ridiculous.
00:13:36I 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.
00:13:42And you might get yourself hurt.
00:13:45Is that a threat, big brother?
00:13:47A 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, but I've made up my mind.
00:13:58I'm not chickening out.
00:14:01You've always had a hard time listening to simple instructions, haven't you?
00:14:05See, here's what bothers me.
00:14:09Why do you even want it, anyway?
00:14:12I 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, you'll still have plenty of money to fund your extravagant lifestyle.
00:14:22So why do you want it?
00:14:26You know what?
00:14:28You're right.
00:14:29I don't have time to manage any of this.
00:14:31Which is why I want to make you second in command.
00:14:34You'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,
00:14:40and I'll just be the pretty face of the company.
00:14:42How does that sound?
00:14:44You're out of your mind, Jonas.
00:14:45So, let me get this straight.
00:14:51You 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?
00:14:59I don't know what delusional world you're living in,
00:15:01but you need to wake up, because that's never going to happen, Jonas.
00:15:05Let me ask you this.
00:15:07How do you envision this will end?
00:15:10You 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
00:15:26before he comes to console you.
00:15:29I'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, but I'll have to pass on your offer.
00:15:38Fine.
00:15:41If you won't hear the voice of reason, so be it.
00:15:44But don't come crying to me when things get ugly.
00:15:47Dare I ask, is that a threat I detect, brother?
00:15:50It's not a very nice way to talk to your little sister, is it?
00:15:53You know, you're lucky I...
00:15:54Emma, you asked me to remind you of, um...
00:15:58Sorry, I didn't realize you...
00:15:59All right, Cynthia, my brother here was just leaving.
00:16:04This isn't over, little sister.
00:16:06I'll be back.
00:16:06You had something for me?
00:16:21Oh, yeah, your, um, three o'clock appointment.
00:16:24You told me to remind you when our client is here.
00:16:26I tried to buzz you, but you didn't answer.
00:16:29Sorry, Cynthia.
00:16:30I guess I was just a bit distracted.
00:16:32Um, can we reschedule that meeting for later in the week?
00:16:35I...
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?
00:16:48Tell me about it.
00:16:49I also have an insufferable brother
00:16:51who doesn't look as good in those chains.
00:16:54What was that?
00:16:56Oh, um, nothing.
00:16:58Um, could I get you a coffee or a cold drink?
00:17:01Oh, you're sweet.
00:17:02But no, it's all right, Cynthia.
00:17:04I think I just need to be alone with my thoughts.
00:17:08Oh, yes.
00:17:09All right.
00:17:09Um, well, I will take care of the meeting
00:17:12and I will get out of your hair.
00:17:14If you need anything, let me know.
00:17:15Father, we need to talk.
00:17:31Clearly you've forgotten your manners
00:17:33and how to knock on a door.
00:17:35Forgive me, Father.
00:17:36I just felt the matter was too urgent.
00:17:38Standing around knocking on doors
00:17:40felt like a waste of time.
00:17:41Right, but what is the matter
00:17:43and 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?
00:17:51Look, I don't have time for this.
00:17:53What do you want?
00:17:53It's funny how nobody around here
00:17:55ever seems to have time when I'm around.
00:17:58It's like I'm some disease
00:17:59that 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.
00:18:09I'd like to know why do you insist
00:18:11on giving Emma the false hope
00:18:12that 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
00:18:20to succeed in running this company.
00:18:22If she lands the deal,
00:18:24I will honor my promise and hand over the reins.
00:18:26No, you can't do that.
00:18:32You can't do that.
00:18:34Oh, can't I?
00:18:35Just watch me.
00:18:41You can't do this.
00:18:43It's not fair.
00:18:44You can't do this.
00:18:48Wave, 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.
00:18:59You didn't have to go this far.
00:19:02Jonas, come and sit down
00:19:03and we'll talk about this man to man.
00:19:13Castro Enterprises is a family business
00:19:16that has been passed down
00:19:17from generation to generation.
00:19:19It was my grandfather's
00:19:20and he passed it down to my father.
00:19:22My father then passed it down to me,
00:19:24but I had to earn it.
00:19:25He didn't just give it over.
00:19:27I had to work my butt off
00:19:28to prove myself to him
00:19:30and earn his respect.
00:19:31Just like your sister has done
00:19:32every single day.
00:19:34But what are you doing?
00:19:35All you are doing is spending our fortune
00:19:37every nickel, penny and dime.
00:19:39I mean, that was a $500,000 bill
00:19:41just on champagne alone.
00:19:43What are you spending that kind of money
00:19:45on booze for?
00:19:46Are you opening a winery?
00:19:47Jonas, I need you
00:19:51I need you to start
00:19:53earning my respect and my trust
00:19:55not squandering our fortune.
00:19:58Father, are you okay?
00:19:59I'm fine.
00:20:00Worry more about your own reputation
00:20:02rather than my health.
00:20:04You know what, Father?
00:20:06You're right.
00:20:08I'll do just that.
00:20:09Thank you for setting me
00:20:12on the right path.
00:20:13As always,
00:20:14I won't disappoint you.
00:20:17I promise.
00:20:18Who is it?
00:20:35Miss Castro,
00:20:36I have you a coffee
00:20:36with two sugars.
00:20:37You're the best.
00:20:38And I told you,
00:20:39you don't need to be so formal with me.
00:20:41Oh, yes.
00:20:42Sorry.
00:20:42Um, I keep forgetting.
00:20:44Bring me that coffee.
00:20:45No worries, Emma.
00:20:48Oh, I, um,
00:20:49I 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.
00:20:57Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:20:59So does that mean
00:20:59you're not going to go ahead
00:21:00with the project?
00:21:01Sorry, one second.
00:21:03Who could this be?
00:21:07Mr. X sends a message.
00:21:09Time's up.
00:21:13Who is it?
00:21:14Is everything okay?
00:21:16Speak of the devil.
00:21:17Oh.
00:21:18How do you ever expect me to sign this?
00:21:37Do you really think I'm that desperate?
00:21:39I have to be very careful.
00:21:44Even one excess drop
00:21:48could kill her.
00:21:53There.
00:21:55Dumb.
00:21:57Now, what were you saying, my dear?
00:21:59First of all,
00:22:00I 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.
00:22:05Are 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
00:22:19is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery.
00:22:21Because I will own you for the duration.
00:22:24But,
00:22:25you're under no obligation to sign it.
00:22:27You could walk out of here right now
00:22:29and nobody would stop you.
00:22:31So,
00:22:32the fact of the matter remains,
00:22:34you have a decision to make.
00:22:41Fox ticket.
00:22:41I'll do it.
00:22:52Fantastic.
00:22:54I knew you had it in you.
00:22:56But,
00:22:56can I just make one request?
00:22:59A request?
00:23:01I don't know if I'll like this.
00:23:03But, go on.
00:23:05Well,
00:23:05the contract stipulates that
00:23:07I have to publicly agree to be marrying
00:23:09a common gardener,
00:23:12not Mr. X.
00:23:13Yes,
00:23:14I remember putting that in.
00:23:15What about it?
00:23:16Well,
00:23:16just if you could
00:23:17give me some time to convince him.
00:23:20He's stubborn,
00:23:21but I think I can bring him around eventually.
00:23:24This could be problematic.
00:23:27But,
00:23:28I'll grant it.
00:23:29You have 14 days to convince your father.
00:23:31But,
00:23:32no other requests will be granted.
00:23:37Now,
00:23:38shall we proceed?
00:23:39What do you get out of this anyway?
00:23:51Is it
00:23:51some kind of
00:23:53payback or revenge
00:23:54or just a
00:23:55sick thrill?
00:23:57I guess you'll never know.
00:24:01Maybe one day I'll tell you.
00:24:09It's done.
00:24:27Are you happy now?
00:24:28Happy?
00:24:29This is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:24:31So don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:24:32Here.
00:24:35Here.
00:24:36Let me give you a hand with that.
00:24:37I can do it myself.
00:24:41You're just about done.
00:24:48There.
00:24:48I need to change my clothes.
00:24:52Can you at least turn around and close 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.
00:25:00We're a happily married couple now, remember?
00:25:02It says so right on the certificate.
00:25:04But I guess...
00:25:04We 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.
00:25:29Do we have an understanding?
00:25:46Someday we are going to 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.
00:26:09I didn't see you walk in.
00:26:11It's okay, sweetheart.
00:26:13Have you seen my sister around?
00:26:14I'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.
00:26:22No, 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?
00:26:30Yes, 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.
00:26:50And then I also, I run around all day making sure I am so sorry, Mr. Castro.
00:26:57I kind of start blabbing and then I can't stop and then it just...
00:27:00It'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?
00:27:10I'll take that as a yes.
00:27:12I'll call you.
00:27:13And remember, my sister can't know about this.
00:27:30Emma, where have you been?
00:27:41I haven't seen you in two days.
00:27:42Are you okay?
00:27:44You look terrible, no offense.
00:27:46Yeah, sorry.
00:27:46I just had a lot going on, that's all.
00:27:49Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:27:51Do you care to tell me?
00:27:53Right, close the door.
00:27:54Yeah, close.
00:28:00All right, what I'm about to say, it 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?
00:28:22I have, oh 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?
00:28:32How?
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 until I've
00:28:44had a chance to speak with my father first.
00:28:46Yes, of course.
00:28:48Do you think he's going to approve?
00:28:49I don't think he is.
00:28:51Tell me about it.
00:28:54So, 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?
00:29:06No, 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.
00:29:21That was it.
00:29:21Are you okay?
00:29:25Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
00:29:27Did 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.
00:29:41Okay.
00:29:41Okay.
00:29:41Okay.
00:29:41Okay.
00:29:41Okay.
00:29:42Okay.
00:29:51You 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.
00:30:17But 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?
00:30:29I'm certainly not implying you're a workaholic, that's for sure.
00:30:32Enough!
00:30:33Can't we just have one meal in peace, please?
00:30:36Sorry, father.
00:30:37Sorry, father.
00:30:43Father, if I were to tell you I'm getting married, getting married to a man, how would
00:30:52you 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?
00:31:08Well, don't get too excited.
00:31:10It's just a hypothetical question.
00:31:13You 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.
00:31:31Maybe 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!
00:31:41Seriously, 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.
00:31:48Of 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.
00:32:05Oh, um, yes.
00:32:08Yes, father.
00:32:09What does your hypothetical husband do?
00:32:11He's, um...
00:32:14It's okay, you can tell me.
00:32:16Is he an entrepreneur or a business owner?
00:32:19Uh, no.
00:32:20Well, you see, he's, um...
00:32:23A gardener.
00:32:26A what?
00:32:32He's a gardener.
00:32:33Why 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...
00:32:54I just wish your mother would have been here to hear it as well.
00:32:57She would have just laughed her head off.
00:32:58So, 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, um, they seem quite
00:33:09receptive.
00:33:10So, I think it's only a matter of weeks before the deal is sealed.
00:33:14Well, that is wonderful news.
00:33:15I'm very proud of you.
00:33:16You know, I actually thought this was an impossible undertaking, but you're doing it with exceptional
00:33:22ease.
00:33:24Clearly, the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.
00:33:26Thank you, father.
00:33:27I learned from the best.
00:33:28Well, I would like to know, how did you manage to pull this off?
00:33:35Well, um, I was able to negotiate a mutually beneficial deal and show them how to increase
00:33:41profits, and it was smooth sailing from there.
00:33:45Very impressive.
00:33:46You are clearly going to make an outstanding CEO.
00:33:51Thank you, father.
00:33:58Cynthia Darlick, this is Jonas.
00:34:14How are you?
00:34:16Yeah, I'm good.
00:34:17I was just calling to see if you were free tonight for that date we were talking about.
00:34:21I can pick you up after work.
00:34:23Perfect.
00:34:25Hey, 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?
00:34:33Wow, perfect.
00:34:33You're the best.
00:34:35I'll see you soon.
00:34:36All right, babe.
00:34:52Are you all right?
00:34:53You seem a lot quieter than usual tonight.
00:34:55Why do you even care?
00:35:01I 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
00:35:08in the same bed.
00:35:10We hardly ever talk.
00:35:11I mean, what is your deal?
00:35:16What is your deal?
00:35:17I 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?
00:35:39Well, the contract says I do.
00:35:42So why have you chosen not to?
00:35:44Because I'm not that kind of person.
00:35:48Well, what kind of person are you?
00:35:50I mean, it's like you don't even exist.
00:35:54I do exist.
00:35:56You just don't know who I am.
00:35:59The only person I've ever wanted to genuinely see the real me.
00:36:04But you were too blinded by my poverty to see anything else.
00:36:08Well, and you think subjugating me will change that?
00:36:12I thought I was just doing this for revenge.
00:36:14Oh, God, 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.
00:36:24I think I finally decided to exercise my rights.
00:36:33I think I finally decided to exercise my rights.
00:36:36Now, stay away from me.
00:36:38Don't touch me or I will scream.
00:36:40Don't touch me.
00:36:42Scream?
00:36:43For who?
00:36:44The police?
00:36:45Miles away.
00:36:47And what would you tell them anyway?
00:36:49That your husband wanted to touch you?
00:36:51I mean it.
00:36:52Don't come any closer!
00:36:54Relax.
00:36:54I don't want to touch you.
00:36:58I just meant I want to hear what's bothering you.
00:37:03If you'll share it with me, of course.
00:37:06But 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.
00:37:13Why would I start now?
00:37:16God, 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.
00:37:39Well, I can't do anything about your father.
00:37:43But I can give you another two weeks to try to convince him.
00:37:45But the contract won't change.
00:37:49But why would you do that?
00:37:52I have my reasons.
00:37:54Maybe someday soon everything will make sense.
00:38:01What is taking this bitch so long?
00:38:11Got other shit to do.
00:38:12Yeah, okay.
00:38:38Okay.
00:38:42Gotcha.
00:39:00Gotcha.
00:39:00Gotcha.
00:39:12Hey 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 going to 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 fast her 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?
00:40:04My sister will never know.
00:40:05Okay.
00:40:09Yes, 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 going to have to call you back.
00:40:25Breaking news.
00:40:26Top executive married the 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.
00:40:42Ms. Castro, I have your thoughts.
00:40:43It was shortly after it was announced that she was on the verge of sealing the company's largest contract in her company's history.
00:40:50Many questioned her judgment and the impact this union would have on her family name.
00:40:55And 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.
00:41:14You bastard, how could you?
00:41:26How could you do this to me?
00:41:29Emma, you're home early.
00:41:31Is everything 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.
00:41:47No 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, I...
00:42:40Hello?
00:42:45Hello?
00:42:45Father?
00:42:46I...
00:42:46Uh-oh.
00:42:47Yeah.
00:42:47What am I going to do? What the fuck am I going to do? This is a complete disaster!
00:43:05I'll bet you just calm down. Take a few deep breaths. It might not be as bad as you're making out to be.
00:43:11Might not be as bad? Are you fucking kidding me? What am I going to say to my father?
00:43:16Yeah, this looks grim, but I had nothing to do with this. How about instead of throwing accusations around, I just call the station and ask them who gave them the information.
00:43:29Even if you could do that, they would never tell you.
00:43:32Give me a sec.
00:43:34Who the hell are you texting?
00:43:36My accountants, so they can buy the news station and get me the information.
00:43:40You're bluffing. And even if you could do that, that would take forever to arrange.
00:43:44You'd be surprised how quickly you can get things done when you're Mr. X.
00:43:48This is a waste of my time. I just have to face my father and talk to him once and for all. Thanks for nothing.
00:43:55Done.
00:43:57Jonas Castro.
00:43:58I believe that's your brother, isn't it?
00:44:09Well, if it isn't the latest brand to be, I gotta be honest, I didn't see it coming. But the media seems to love it.
00:44:16You snake. How did you know?
00:44:19To be fair, I was surprised as well. I thought you would have had better tastes. But I guess you gotta lower your standards when you've been single for so long.
00:44:27Well, thanks for your concern about my love life. I want you to mind your own business and butt out.
00:44:32Well, little sister, it became my business when you decided to embarrass the family name and drag us all through the mud.
00:44:38That's rich. Coming from the guy whose depraved lifestyle gets him in the media every weekend.
00:44:44What can I say? I'm the life of the party.
00:44:47You sound confident, like you think you had me beat. But I'm the one who's about to close the biggest deal in the company's history.
00:44:54You know our father better than anyone. He would never condone any of this. Plus, you're not the only one that can cut big deals for the company.
00:45:02Oh, 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.
00:45:17Good luck. You'll need it.
00:45:24Father?
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.
00:45:35Em, of all the men in the world, you choose a mere commoner, a gardener? Have you no self-respect? Have you no respect for this family?
00:45:43I know it doesn't make sense, but please, I need you to trust me.
00:45:46Trust you? You're actively bringing shame to this family and you expect me to trust you?
00:45:51Father, please.
00:45:52Who is this man? What is he doing to manipulate you like this? Are you being blackmailed? Are you pregnant?
00:45:59Once I seal the deal with the Anderson Corporation, I promise you it'll all make sense.
00:46:04I'm afraid that will no longer be necessary.
00:46:06What? What do you mean?
00:46:08While you were busy gardening, your brother came to me with a proposal that I could not refuse.
00:46:14A proposal?
00:46:15Open it.
00:46:17Open it.
00:46:18Open it.
00:46:23This is my client.
00:46:24Not anymore.
00:46:36But, Father, that's not fair, this is my client!
00:46:43Not anymore.
00:46:44It doesn't matter how Jonas got the account, it is his now.
00:46:46Emmeline, you no longer need to worry about the Anton Corporation account.
00:46:50No, please, don't stop me now when I'm so close to the end!
00:46:54My decision is made.
00:46:55Jonas 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.
00:47:06On one condition.
00:47:07Of course, of course, anything.
00:47:09I want to meet this gardener as yours, I want to know who it is that has stolen my daughter's heart.
00:47:15You can't do this, Father! You simply just can't!
00:47:18She would disgrace the family name and you would condone it?
00:47:21Jonas, how dare you speak to me like that? Have you lost your mind?
00:47:24No, Father, I've lost my patience.
00:47:27I 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!
00:47:36I will decide who will and who will not run like this!
00:47:40Father?
00:47:41Father, are you okay?
00:47:43Father, no!
00:47:46Father!
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.
00:48:00Oh what, you're going to start treating me like a vegetable now?
00:48:02The doctor said all I need to do is take those tablets and I'll be as right as rain.
00:48:07Oh darling, you're looking more and more like your mother.
00:48:11She would have been so proud of you and the woman you've become.
00:48:16Just 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!
00:48:32So 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.
00:49:01So I will appoint you as CEO temporarily.
00:49:05What? No!
00:49:07Em, this is not a permanent position.
00:49:10I will not make my final decision until I have met your man and seen the contract.
00:49:31What are you doing here?
00:49:43Hello father. Are you feeling well rested? Do you feel any better?
00:49:49No, not really. About the same. But, uh, why the sudden interest in my well-being that's
00:49:58a little out of character for you?
00:50:00That's hurtful, Father. Your health is of top priority to me. I noticed your pills were
00:50:07running low, so I decided to refill them for you. Would you like to have a look?
00:50:12No, just, just give them to me, please.
00:50:19Well, I should be getting out of your hair. Get well soon, Pops.
00:50:40Well, 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 apologize 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? What do you people take me for around here?
00:51:01Jonas? What are you doing here? And why are you in my seat?
00:51:06Ooh, didn't you hear? I'm in charge now, so technically this is my seat.
00:51:11Do you actually need something? Or did you just come here to gloat?
00:51:12Emma, Emma. You always like to get straight down to business, don't you? Well, let's get to it.
00:51:21You are obligated to report all findings and dealings to the company head. Yet after looking through all your files, I can't seem to find anything on the Anderson Corporation. Why is that?
00:51:34Why do you want the details of the deal? So you can steal my client again like you did last time?
00:51:38Come on, Emma. Don't be petty. I finalized a contract that was sitting on your desk for weeks. It's all in the company's best interest.
00:51:44Company's best interest? Or your best interest, Jonas?
00:51:50Well, I am currently the Chief Executive Officer so my interest is the company's best interest.
00:51:54下一 cut!!!
00:51:58No. Thank you today.
00:51:59Absolutely.
00:52:00I couldn't have anything to do anything from the Anderson Corporation. Why is that?
00:52:06What do you want the details of the deal? Well, so you can steal my client again like you did last time?
00:52:08Come on, Emma. Don't be petty. I've finalized a contract that was sitting on your desk for weeks.
00:52:12Of course, you never did tell me how you got the details of the contract in the first place.
00:52:18I never pegged you as someone who was scurrying around like a rat.
00:52:22I don't scurry you. I have people for that. 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.
00:52:33Wait. That means that someone's...
00:52:38That fucking bitch!
00:52:41Emma, good. It's Miss Castro to you. Going somewhere?
00:52:56Um, yes. I have something to tell you that...
00:52:59Meaning to tell me what, exactly? That you're a liar?
00:53:02A 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.
00:53:17I hardly think this is appropriate workplace behavior, little sister.
00:53:21I could have you sanctioned for assaulting my personal assistant.
00:53:25Your 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. I'm sorry.
00:53:42As CEO, I'm responsible for the well-being of all my employees. I'm sure you understand.
00:53:57Interim CEO. Let's see how long you can hold onto that position once father recovers, sweet brother.
00:54:03Oh, Emma. I plan to hold onto this position for a very, very long time.
00:54:12Hey, 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.
00:54:34I never thought I'd see the day that Emily and Castro would apologize.
00:54:38Well, don't get used to it. It's not gonna happen again.
00:54:42Actually, scratch that. I think it will happen more often.
00:54:51Look, I 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.
00:55:13I've been self-centered and egocentric and I'm sorry.
00:55:18It's okay, Emma. And just so you know, this isn't about revenge.
00:55:24What is it about? I mean, what do you stand to gain from his contract?
00:55:28I can't tell you. Not yet.
00:55:31I 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?
00:55:44Want to come see?
00:55:50But... but why?
00:55:54Why would you paint a picture of me?
00:56:04Well, I don't recall it being a crime to paint a picture of a beautiful and fascinating woman.
00:56:11Well, maybe I can see it when it's finished.
00:56:15Maybe. We'll see.
00:56:19Emma, I know you just... you didn't come all this way to apologize.
00:56:29And I know that look on your face. What's going on?
00:56:34So 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.
00:56:40You pat your lips every time you're worried.
00:56:45I also know that your father's fallen ill.
00:56:49I know that 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.
00:56:57And I always keep a close eye on my assets.
00:57:00The question is, what are you going to do?
00:57:03At this stage? I don't know.
00:57:08My 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.
00:57:16But 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.
00:57:27That is a precarious situation.
00:57:30And it would void the contract.
00:57:32But I'll do it.
00:57:36What?
00:57:38What did you just say?
00:57:40I said I'll do it.
00:57:42I'll go with you to see your father.
00:57:44But why would you do that? That doesn't make any sense.
00:57:47All I can say is that in this respect,
00:57:49our goals are aligned, I think.
00:57:52Oh, goals align? What goals are you talking about, Jeff? I...
00:57:56What goals?
00:57:57Don't worry about that now.
00:57:59Everything will make sense soon.
00:58:02We can go right now if you'd like. I'll grab my coat.
00:58:10Cynthia, darling. Why the long face?
00:58:20We 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.
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. I'm grateful.
00:58:45But what's going to happen when your dad wakes up? Hmm?
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?
00:59:15I 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.
00:59:22And I'm sure that would definitely suit your agenda, wouldn't it?
00:59:25Are 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?
00:59:33Look, you're not the man that I thought you were.
00:59:36I heard stories, but I didn't think they were true, but clearly they are.
00:59:43And what stories are those? Tell me the tales of Jonas Castro.
00:59:47Jonas Castro? Well, Jonas Castro loves himself.
00:59:51He's an alcoholic. He's a womanizer. He's just pure evil.
00:59:56That's who Jonas Castro is.
01:00:01Look.
01:00:03I can't do this. I'm leaving.
01:00:07Where the fuck do you think you're going?
01:00:11Seems you've forgotten your place.
01:00:13Maybe 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.
01:00:33Before 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, no.
01:00:41Blame.
01:00:42I think I need to teach you a lesson.
01:00:44Whatever.
01:00:45Okay.
01:00:51You seem pretty confident. I guess you've done a lot of stuff like this before.
01:00:54Not really. Any advice on approaching your father?
01:00:58Well, he already doesn't like you. So I guess just be yourself.
01:01:03Let's get this over with him.
01:01:07Father, I'm here. You're not alone. I'm with my fiance.
01:01:13That's you. Wait, you two know each other?
01:01:20Your 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.
01:02:06You're the man I spoke with on the phone?
01:02:19Yes, sir.
01:02:22It'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.
01:02:34It may not be exactly considered a business proposal.
01:02:37Young 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 or I will have you thrown out.
01:02:46Right down to business.
01:02:49I would like to ask for your daughter Emma's hand in marriage.
01:02:54I'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.
01:03:13No, sir. I believe your hearing is still top-notch.
01:03:16So what makes you think I would go for such a ludicrous idea?
01:03:19Well, 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.
01:03:29That'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, galvanizing our position in high society making us a formidable force.
01:03:49I didn't think you'd have a problem with it.
01:03:52Well, I see you've done your research.
01:03:55But even if I were to give this union my blessing, I 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?
01:04:16Well, 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?
01:04:24I've not had much luck with women in this regard.
01:04:27They always seem to be after me for access to my money.
01:04:30I'm so sick of it.
01:04:33So I intend to disguise myself as a nobody.
01:04:36Are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money like some pathetic little gold digger?
01:04:42No, no, sir.
01:04:43I 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.
01:04:52But 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.
01:05:03Maybe 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 to 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.
01:05:31How arrogant.
01:05:36Reminds me of my younger self.
01:05:38Wait, so hang on. What 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?
01:06:05Contract marriage?
01:06:06But what if I hadn't signed it? What was going to be your next scheme?
01:06:10I told you.
01:06:11You're the only person that I ever wanted to see me for who I was.
01:06:16And it wasn't a sham contract.
01:06:19I would have kept my end of the bargain at the end of the three months.
01:06:22What 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. Just 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, Emma, if you're willing to accept his marriage proposal, you can have the company.
01:06:55No, 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.
01:07:05Emma, you're the only one I've ever wanted.
01:07:11The 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, I promise, no more games or half-truths.
01:07:26Emma, will you marry me?
01:07:36Will 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.
01:07:47Even though I've been a total bitch, I 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. Might as well give it a real shot.
01:08:00Yes!
01:08:08Oh.
01:08:09Oh, looks like I missed the family reunion.
01:08:12Guess my invitation got lost in the mail.
01:08:14No, Jonas, you're just in the nick of time. Your 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 and 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.
01:08:45I didn't want it to come to this.
01:08:47I don't want someone to have your other choice.
01:08:49What are you doing, Jonas?
01:08:51Dude, what the hell are you doing? That's how bother. What are you doing?
01:08:54I'm doing what I should have done a long time ago, little sister.
01:08:58Please, that's how bother. Just think about what you're doing. Put it down.
01:09:01Step out of the way, Emma. I'm not going to tell you again.
01:09:13No, please. Think about what you're doing. This is our father. Put it down.
01:09:17What the fuck do you think you're doing, Emma? Get out of the way.
01:09:19No.
01:09:20It's okay, Emma. I'll handle this.
01:09:22No, please let me talk to him.
01:09:24Talk to who? This piece of shit? This 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!
01:09:40No!
01:09:41Father!
01:09:42Father, no!
01:09:44No, Father!
01:09:46Father, please no!
01:09:51Please, call an ambulance! No, call an ambulance!
01:09:55It's too late, Em. It's too late.
01:09:58Father, please.
01:10:00Em, don't worry. It's fine.
01:10:02Know that I'm so proud of you.
01:10:06And your mother would have been so proud of you, too.
01:10:11I'll send her your love.
01:10:13Father, no! No, no!
01:10:16No!
01:10:17No!
01:10:18No!
01:10:19No!
01:10:20No!
01:10:21No!
01:10:22No!
01:10:23No!
01:10:24No!
01:10:25No!
01:10:26No!
01:10:27No!
01:10:28No!
01:10:29No!
01:10:30No!
01:10:31No!
01:10:32No!
01:10:33No!
01:10:34No!
