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