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