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