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

01:00:10Jonas
01:00:11You really think
01:00:12you can say
01:00:13whatever the fuck
01:00:13you want
01:00:14and get away with it?
01:00:15Look
01:00:15I think you're drunk
01:00:16and I think
01:00:17you just need to
01:00:18get off me
01:00:19please.
01:00:20Let me remind you
01:00:21you were just a pawn
01:00:22in all of this.
01:00:23Before I came into your life
01:00:24you were nothing.
01:00:25Please
01:00:25please I'm sorry
01:00:27just I'll forget about it
01:00:29and we can go.
01:00:30No no no no.
01:00:31Blame.
01:00:31I think I need to teach you a lesson
01:00:33and I'll never forget.
01:00:35You seem pretty confident.
01:00:42I guess you've done
01:00:43a lot of stuff
01:00:43like this before.
01:00:45Not really.
01:00:46Any advice
01:00:47on approaching your father?
01:00:48Well he already
01:00:49doesn't like you
01:00:50so I guess
01:00:51just be yourself.
01:00:53Let's get this over with.
01:00:57Father
01:00:57I'm here
01:01:00you're not alone
01:01:01I'm
01:01:02I'm with my fiance
01:01:03That's you.
01:01:08Wait
01:01:08you
01:01:09you two know each other?
01:01:11Your father and I have met
01:01:12it was a long time ago
01:01:14I'm surprised he remembers.
01:01:16I never forget a face
01:01:17especially one as
01:01:19unique
01:01:20as yours.
01:01:21Wait hang on
01:01:22this doesn't make any sense
01:01:24someone needs to give me
01:01:25some answers.
01:01:26This man
01:01:27came to me
01:01:28a few years ago
01:01:29asking for a private meeting
01:01:32to discuss
01:01:34a very
01:01:35important
01:01:36proposal.
01:01:37answer.
01:01:44You're the man I spoke with on the phone?
01:02:09Yes, sir.
01:02:09It's not every day I have a meeting with a total stranger, but you said you had an interesting
01:02:16business proposal, so what is it?
01:02:18Of course, sir.
01:02:19I understand perfectly.
01:02:21But I said I had an interesting proposal for you.
01:02:24It may not be exactly considered a business proposal.
01:02:28Young man, I don't have time for your silly little word games, so you have five minutes
01:02:32to tell me what the proposal is, or I will have you thrown out.
01:02:36Right down to business.
01:02:37I would like to ask for your daughter Emma's hand in marriage.
01:02:51I'm sorry.
01:02:52I think my hearing must be playing tricks on me.
01:02:54Could you repeat that for me, please?
01:02:56I said I would like your daughter's hand in marriage.
01:03:01So it seems like my hearing is fine.
01:03:04No, sir.
01:03:04I believe your hearing is still top-notch.
01:03:06So what makes you think I would go for such a ludicrous idea?
01:03:10Well, I didn't think you'd have a problem with it since I am the heir to my family's
01:03:13billion-dollar fortune.
01:03:15Is that supposed to impress me?
01:03:17Anyone can claim to be anything these days.
01:03:19That's my family's name, our net worth.
01:03:28We operate several business enterprises, as well as doing philanthropic work.
01:03:32So?
01:03:32A union between your daughter and I would strengthen both our families, galvanizing our position
01:03:37in high society, making us a formidable force.
01:03:40I didn't think you'd have a problem with it.
01:03:42Well, I see you've done your research.
01:03:45But even if I were to give this union my blessing, I could never convince my Emmeline to marry
01:03:50someone that she didn't choose herself.
01:03:53Well, I believe that's where I come in.
01:03:55How so?
01:03:55So, how exactly do you plan on wooing my daughter?
01:04:07Well, in all honesty, sir, it's not a very good plan, but it's one that sets my heart
01:04:11at ease.
01:04:12What exactly are you talking about?
01:04:14I've not had much luck with women in this regard.
01:04:17They always seem to be after me for access to my money.
01:04:21I'm so sick of it.
01:04:23So, I intend to disguise myself as a nobody.
01:04:27Are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money, like some pathetic little
01:04:32gold digger?
01:04:32No, no, sir.
01:04:35I just want Emma to get to know me for me, that's all.
01:04:38This is a ridiculous plan.
01:04:39It'll never work.
01:04:41I know.
01:04:42But I'm still willing to try.
01:04:44And if it goes south, no harm done.
01:04:46So, what exactly do you want from me?
01:04:48Well, I was hoping you could put in a good word for me.
01:04:50But Emma can't know that you know who I am.
01:04:54Maybe you could say that I'm the son of an old friend.
01:04:56This is a ridiculous plan.
01:04:57I think you just need to leave.
01:04:58It's no secret that you yearn for your daughter to get married to someone worthy from high society.
01:05:05Please just consider the plan.
01:05:06How dare you presume to know me and what it is that I want.
01:05:11Get out!
01:05:17Thank you for your time.
01:05:18If you reconsider, please give me a call.
01:05:21How arrogant.
01:05:27Reminds me of my younger self.
01:05:36Wait, so hang on.
01:05:37What you're trying to tell me is...
01:05:39I've never been poor a day in my life.
01:05:42I just wanted you to see the real me.
01:05:44That's what I was trying to tell you that day in the restaurant.
01:05:46But you wouldn't hear me out.
01:05:47So you just created a fake marriage?
01:05:52A contract marriage?
01:05:53And why not move on to someone else?
01:05:55Contract marriage?
01:05:56But what if I hadn't signed it?
01:05:58What was going to be your next scheme?
01:06:00I told you.
01:06:02You're the only person that I ever wanted to see me for who I was.
01:06:07And it wasn't a sham contract.
01:06:09I would have kept my end of the bargain at the end of the three months.
01:06:14What if I hadn't signed it?
01:06:15What would have your next scheme been?
01:06:17There was no next scheme because I knew you would sign it.
01:06:21How did you know that?
01:06:22Because I know you.
01:06:25Emma, you're willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want.
01:06:29Just like I am.
01:06:31You seem to know a lot about me.
01:06:34I really don't know what's going on here.
01:06:37But Em, if you're willing to accept his marriage proposal,
01:06:41you can have the company.
01:06:44No, father.
01:06:47There's no marriage proposal.
01:06:49There's a web of lies and deceit in this sick man's games.
01:06:54There is now.
01:06:57Emma, you're the only one I've ever wanted.
01:07:00The only one I love.
01:07:02I'm sorry I had to pretend to be someone I wasn't.
01:07:08But, if you're willing to make an honest man out of me,
01:07:12I promise, no more games or half-truths.
01:07:16Emma, will you marry me?
01:07:18Will you marry me?
01:07:29Jeff, you're a very curious human being.
01:07:33But you have been very kind and caring to me over the last few months.
01:07:37And even though I've been a total bitch,
01:07:40I hate to admit it, but I have grown fond of you.
01:07:44So is that a yes?
01:07:45Well, we've already been married for two months.
01:07:48Might as well give it a real shot.
01:07:52Yes.
01:07:58Oh.
01:07:59Oh, looks like I missed the family reunion.
01:08:02Guess my invitation got lost in the mail.
01:08:05No, Jonas, you're just in the nick of time.
01:08:07Your sister is getting married.
01:08:09Oh, that's wonderful news.
01:08:11I'm not finished.
01:08:13It is also my final decision that she takes over as CEO of Castro Enterprises
01:08:17and that you step down effective immediately.
01:08:21Like hell I will.
01:08:23I'm your son.
01:08:24No son of mine would swap out my medication for a placebo
01:08:27so that I would die faster.
01:08:30Yeah, I knew about that.
01:08:32I might be sick, but I am not senile.
01:08:34I didn't want it to come to this.
01:08:37I don't look something like you are of a choice.
01:08:39I'm not going to do this.
01:08:40What the hell are you doing?
01:08:42That's out father.
01:08:43What are you doing?
01:08:44I'm doing what I should have done a long time ago, little sister.
01:08:48Please, that's out father.
01:08:49Just think about what you're doing.
01:08:51Put it down.
01:09:00Step out of the way, Emma.
01:09:01I'm not going to tell you again.
01:09:03No, please.
01:09:04Think about what you're doing.
01:09:05This is our father.
01:09:06Put it down.
01:09:07What the fuck do you think you're doing, Emma?
01:09:08Get out of the way.
01:09:10No.
01:09:10It's okay, Emma.
01:09:11I'll handle this.
01:09:12No, please let me talk to him.
01:09:14Talk to who?
01:09:15This piece of shit.
01:09:17This disgraceful excuse for a man that I'm ashamed to call my son.
01:09:21Your mother was right about you.
01:09:23If you refuse to get out of the way, Emma,
01:09:25then you can go to the grave with him.
01:09:27No, no, no.
01:09:29No.
01:09:30No.
01:09:31Father.
01:09:33My father, no.
01:09:35No, father.
01:09:38Father, please, no.
01:09:42Please, call an ambulance.
01:09:44No, call an ambulance.
01:09:45It's too late, Em.
01:09:47It's too late.
01:09:48Father, please.
01:09:49Em, don't worry.
01:09:51It's fine.
01:09:53Know that I'm so proud of you.
01:09:56And your mother would have been so proud of you, too.
01:10:02I'll send her your love.
01:10:04Oh, no.
01:10:04No.
01:10:05No.
01:10:06No.
01:10:06No.
01:10:06No.
01:10:06No.
01:10:06No.
01:10:09No.
01:10:09No.
01:10:11No.
01:10:13No.
01:10:14No.
01:10:15No.
01:10:17No.
01:10:17No.
01:10:26No.
01:10:30No.
