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