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