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