00:00:00Father? What's the meaning of this? How could you do this to me?

00:00:05Well, good morning, Emmeline. I see you're in a great mood again.

00:00:08After everything I've done for you, the family, the company, this is how you reward me?

00:00:13Calm down and let me know what you're saying.

00:00:15Oh, so you're going to deny it?

00:00:17Denying what? I still have no idea what you're talking about.

00:00:19The rumors going around the company that you're stepping down in three months

00:00:22and you've already named Jonas your successor.

00:00:24So that's what this drama is about?

00:00:26Yes.

00:00:27Yeah, it's true.

00:00:28That's ridiculous. Jonas can't take care of himself, let alone the whole company.

00:00:32I mean, all he does is spend his money on partying and women,

00:00:35and I'm the one who actually does the work.

00:00:37Yes, and that's why you're the chief operating officer.

00:00:39Look, I need you with your skill set in that role so that you can support your brother

00:00:44so that he too can succeed.

00:00:46Well, what if I make you an author, one you can't refuse?

00:00:51I'm listening.

00:00:53Have a seat.

00:00:54Father, I am certain this is an offer you're going to appreciate.

00:00:56An offer I'm going to appreciate?

00:00:57You're getting married.

00:00:58Great, because we both know you're not getting any younger.

00:00:59What?

00:01:00No.

00:01:01I'm talking about a business proposal, not a marriage.

00:01:02Oh.

00:01:03Okay, well what's your business proposal?

00:01:04Okay.

00:01:05So, what if I could secure a partnership with the Anderson Corporation?

00:01:07The Anderson Corporation?

00:01:08I've been trying to land that account for ten years.

00:01:09It's impossible.

00:01:10It can't be done.

00:01:11I have my ways, Father.

00:01:12I just need you to trust me.

00:01:13Okay.

00:01:14If it was anybody else I would say no.

00:01:15But you're my daughter and I trust you.

00:01:16But, what if it was a business proposal?

00:01:17I'm not a marriage.

00:01:18I'm not a marriage.

00:01:19Okay.

00:01:20Okay.

00:01:21Well, what's your business proposal?

00:01:22Okay.

00:01:23Okay.

00:01:24So, what if I could secure a partnership with the Anderson Corporation?

00:01:25The Anderson Corporation?

00:01:26I've been trying to land that account for ten years.

00:01:27It's impossible.

00:01:28It can't be done.

00:01:29I have my ways, Father.

00:01:32I just need you to trust me.

00:01:34Hmm.

00:01:35If it was anybody else, I would say no.

00:01:38But you're my daughter and I trust you.

00:01:43But, just to let you know, I am going to be publicly announcing my retirement in three

00:01:48months.

00:01:49So you have three months to change my mind.

00:01:52Um, thank you, but I was hoping just to have a little more time-

00:01:56Three months and not a day more.

00:02:06Fucking hell.

00:02:07I just don't get it.

00:02:08I have sent out a million proposals at this point and I still have no response.

00:02:12Sigh.

00:02:13Sigh.

00:02:18Mail for Ms. Evelyn Kestrel?

00:02:19Yes.

00:02:21Yes, who is it?

00:02:22Yes, Cynthia.

00:02:23What do you want?

00:02:24Um, I've got mail from the Anderson Corporation.

00:02:25I think they finally responded.

00:02:26What'd they say?

00:02:27Oh, I don't know.

00:02:28It's sealed then.

00:02:29Don't just stand there.

00:02:30Read it to me.

00:02:31Oh my god.

00:02:32Oh my god.

00:02:33This is for Mr. X himself.

00:02:34He's asking me to come meet him at his private residence to discuss the terms of the contract.

00:02:38Oh my god.

00:02:39It's great news.

00:02:40I'll cancel the rest of your appointments for the afternoon.

00:02:41No.

00:02:42No, I don't think that'll be necessary.

00:02:43Why not?

00:02:44I'm not going.

00:02:45Oh my god.

00:02:46I'll cancel the rest of your appointments for the afternoon.

00:02:47No.

00:02:48No, I don't think that'll be necessary.

00:02:49Why not?

00:02:50I'm not going.

00:02:51What do you mean you're not going?

00:02:52This is the big break you've been waiting for.

00:02:53I know.

00:02:54I know.

00:02:55I know, but...

00:02:56Oh my god.

00:02:57Oh my god.

00:02:58This is for Mr. X himself.

00:02:59He's asking me to come meet him at his private residence to discuss the terms of the contract.

00:03:00Oh my god.

00:03:01It's great news.

00:03:02I'll cancel the rest of your appointments for the afternoon.

00:03:03No.

00:03:04No, I don't think that'll be necessary.

00:03:06Why not?

00:03:07I'm not going.

00:03:08What do you mean, you're not going?

00:03:11This is the big break you've been waiting for.

00:03:15I know.

00:03:18I know, but...

00:03:20I know, but does something about this seem off to you?

00:03:24Off? What do you mean off?

00:03:27We've sent out a million proposals,

00:03:30and now suddenly we get a response from Mr. X himself?

00:03:33I guess so, Ms. Castro, but what do you have to lose?

00:03:36Honestly, you've been waiting for this.

00:03:39Might as well.

00:03:50Hey, you! Gardner!

00:04:00I'm here to meet Mr. X. Am I in the right place?

00:04:06Do I know you from somewhere?

00:04:08Yes, I imagine you do. I'm...

00:04:11Unimportant. I'm here to meet Mr. X.

00:04:14Is this the place?

00:04:16He's waiting for you.

00:04:18Just do that door and down the hall.

00:04:48Hello.

00:04:50I don't know what kind of a sick game you're playing,

00:04:52but you should go back outside and keep raking up leaves.

00:04:54I don't think your boss would be too happy with you wearing his clothes

00:04:56and sitting on his expensive couch.

00:04:58You still don't remember me, do you?

00:05:00Remember you?

00:05:02No way. You're Jeff?

00:05:04In the flesh. You look like you've seen a ghost.

00:05:06You haven't answered my question. What's going on here?

00:05:10Well, you arranged a meeting with Mr. X, so here we are.

00:05:14I imagine this is all a little much for you to take in.

00:05:18This... doesn't make any sense.

00:05:20I... I just saw you after the stars!

00:05:21No way! You're Jeff?

00:05:22No way! You're Jeff?

00:05:23No way! You're Jeff?

00:05:24In the flesh!

00:05:28You look like you've seen a ghost.

00:05:29You haven't answered my question.

00:05:31What's going on here?

00:05:33Well, you arranged a meeting with Mr. X, so here we are.

00:05:37Here we are. I imagine this is all a little much for you to take in.

00:05:44This doesn't make any sense.

00:05:47I just saw you outside pruning plants and now you're giving me a glass of whiskey.

00:05:53Is this a prank? Are there cameras?

00:05:57Cameras? I don't much care for intrusive technology.

00:06:01And I don't think it's a crime for a man to tend his own garden.

00:06:05I get a lot of satisfaction from doing it myself. It's therapeutic.

00:06:09So what you're trying to tell me is...

00:06:12I'm Mr. X. I'm the one you came here to see.

00:06:15Now shall we dispense with the charades and get down to business or...

00:06:19Would you care to be hysterical for a few more minutes?

00:06:22Bullshit. You're lying. Just admit it and stop playing games.

00:06:26You don't have to believe me. I'm not trying to convince you.

00:06:29The door's still open. You're welcome to leave.

00:06:35I've got to say...

00:06:39This looks really good.

00:06:41One of the best proposals I've read in a while, in fact.

00:06:44I guess all the media I say about you is true.

00:06:48But the figures we're looking at here run to the billions of dollars.

00:06:51Are you sure you can manage such resources?

00:06:53But I have a detailed project plan and I'm...

00:06:57I've looked at your plan. And I've had my team go through it as well.

00:07:03The simple truth is, your company does not have the resources to manage such a large project. On paper at least.

00:07:09Your father has consecutively been turned down over 30 times in the past 10 years for this reason alone.

00:07:14What makes you think we'd accept your company's offer this time if you've been rejected so many times before?

00:07:19You've had all that information and you've still invited me here.

00:07:23So that begs the question, what am I really doing here?

00:07:27Oh, Emma. You're always as intelligent as you are beautiful.

00:07:33Patronize me.

00:07:35Alright. I won't waste your time.

00:07:38I brought you here to make you an offer. One that could help you secure what you came for.

00:07:44You mean the contract.

00:07:49Did you come for something else?

00:07:51No. I just want to make sure we're on the same page.

00:07:55So what's the offer?

00:07:59Take it. Open.

00:08:05What is this supposed to be?

00:08:07You're a smart woman, Emma. I'm sure you can read what's on the paper.

00:08:10This is a marriage contract. Between you and me. Contractual terms with the marriage outlined in detail. Contract set to expire in three months.

00:08:23What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?

00:08:27You think I would willingly sell myself into servitude just for a contract?

00:08:32Let's not play games, Emma. I feel they're a waste of time and I don't have much of it to spare.

00:08:37I'm guessing the same is true for you.

00:08:39I know the reason you're here. Or dare I say the motive behind your actions.

00:08:45What motive could that possibly be?

00:08:47Oh, I don't know. The fact that your father is publicly resigning from his position as CEO in three months.

00:08:53Or that he's naming someone who is not you as his successor.

00:08:57So, 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?

00:09:09Let me know if I missed something.

00:09:12How could you possibly know all this? Down to such detail.

00:09:18In this line of business, information is key. And I always have my way of getting the information I want.

00:09:26So you've been spying on me. I should get a restraining order against you.

00:09:30I wouldn't call it spying when your family's business is always on the news.

00:09:34It's just simple deduction, putting two and two together.

00:09:38And how exactly do you plan to get a restraining order against a man who doesn't exist?

00:09:43Who are you talking about? I know you. You're sitting right in front of me.

00:09:49What do you really know about me? Besides the fact that my name might be Jeff?

00:09:54Might be.

00:09:56The world knows me as Mr. X. You have a name and a face, but little else.

00:10:00I drove here, remember? I know where you live.

00:10:04I have a dozen homes across the state, none of which are in my name.

00:10:09But I think we're getting a little off topic here.

00:10:12You have a contract in front of you that can make all of your dreams come true.

00:10:16The question is, do you have the balls to take it?

00:10:21Of course, you could walk away, turn it down, and none of this will have happened.

00:10:28But remember, this is a one-time offer.

00:10:32So, decide.

00:10:36Can I at least take some time to go through it carefully and then make a decision?

00:10:41Smart woman.

00:10:45I'll give you three days to decide.

00:10:48After which, the contract will be withdrawn.

00:10:51And nobody is to know about our little arrangement. Is that clear?

00:10:56Yes.

00:10:57Goddammit. This asshole must have to be out of his goddamn mind. He wants to turn me into a slave, and for what?

00:11:09Are you hiding something from your baby sister?

00:11:12Hiding? I don't need to hide anything from you. You're always too intoxicated to see clearly anyway.

00:11:18Oh, Emma. You never miss an opportunity to have a go at me, do you? It's bad enough I always have pops on my back.

00:11:24On your back? You're clearly his favorite. I mean, he gives you everything on a gold platter and you just take it for granted.

00:11:31You think you have everything figured out, don't you? When in truth, you're just a scared little girl running around seeking validation from her daddy.

00:11:40What are you doing here, Jonas? I know you didn't just come to say hi. I have a lot to get done today.

00:11:45What? 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.

00:11:52Sorry. I just have a lot going on. Have a seat.

00:12:04This is a nice office you have here. But, uh, remind me to give you a raise when I finally take over.

00:12:10Now, can you please tell me why you're here?

00:12:13Get down to business, you mean?

00:12:16Well, 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.

00:12:30And why the hell would I want to do that?

00:12:33Maybe because I asked nicely? With a cute little smile on my face? I could do a sad face if you like.

00:12:39This is ridiculous. I don't have time for this. I have work to do. I don't have time for your games.

00:12:44Or maybe you don't have a shot at winning. And you might get yourself hurt.

00:12:49Is that a threat, big brother?

00:12:51A threat? I'm just trying to look out for you, kiddo. Politics can be a dirty game.

00:12:57Well, thank you so much for your concern, Jonas. You might really appreciate it. But I've made up my mind. I'm not chickening out.

00:13:06You've always had a hard time listening to simple instructions, haven't you?

00:13:09See, here's what bothers me. Why do you even want it, anyway? I mean, you barely have enough time for yourself, let alone running the day-to-day operations of a huge company like this.

00:13:22And even if I'm CEO, you'll still have plenty of money to fund your extravagant lifestyle. So why do you want it?

00:13:28You 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.

00:13:39You'll get to manage all the day-to-day operations and make the big decisions. You'll basically be the one in charge and I'll just be the pretty face of the company. How does that sound?

00:13:48You're out of your mind, Jonas.

00:13:52So, let me get this straight. You want me to do all the work around here, and you just get to take the credit?

00:13:59Would that be too much to ask of my little sister?

00:14:02I don't know what delusional world you're living in, but you need to wake up. Because that's never gonna happen, Jonas.

00:14:09Let me ask you this. How do you envision this will end?

00:14:12You think I'd stand idly by while you take my fucking birthright?

00:14:17Well, when last I checked, we both had the same last name. I don't remember when that right was conferred to you.

00:14:23You think father will entertain this sick fantasy of yours? Just like when you were a kid, so he wants to just see you get tired out before he comes to console you.

00:14:32I'm just trying to save you from all that stress.

00:14:35Again, thank you for your concern, brother. It's deeply appreciated. But I'll have to pass on your offer.

00:14:42Fine. If you won't hear the voice of reason, so be in. But don't come cry to me when things get ugly.

00:14:50Dare I ask, is that a threat I detect, brother? It's not a very nice way to talk to your little sister, is it?

00:14:56You know, you're lucky I-

00:14:57Emma, you asked me to remind you of, um...

00:15:01I'm sorry, I didn't realize you.

00:15:02Alright, Cynthia, my brother here was just leaving.

00:15:07This isn't over, little sister. I'll be back.

00:15:12You had something for me?

00:15:13Oh, yeah, your, um, three o'clock appointment. You told me to remind you when our client is here. I tried to buzz you to put you in a downstairs.

00:15:30Sorry, Cynthia. I guess I was just a bit distracted.

00:15:34Um, can we reschedule that meeting for later in the week? I'm just not in the right frame of mind right now.

00:15:39I'm sorry to hear that. Is it anything to do with, you know, who?

00:15:42My brother's just being his usual self. He's usually pretty hard to understand. I guess you can't choose your family, can you?

00:15:50Tell me about it. I also haven't even suffered a brother who doesn't look as good in those cheapness.

00:15:56Uh, what was that?

00:15:57Oh, um, nothing. Um, could I get you a coffee or a cold drink?

00:16:03Oh, you're sweet. Uh, but no, it's alright, Cynthia. I think I just need to be alone with my thoughts.

00:16:10Oh, yes, alright. Um, well, I will take care of the meeting and I'll get out of your head if you need anything, let me know. Thank you.

00:16:25Father, we need to talk.

00:16:28Clearly you've forgotten your manners and how to knock on a door.

00:16:31Forgive me, Father. I just felt the matter was too urgent. Standing around knocking on doors felt like a waste of time.

00:16:38Right, but what is the matter and why do you smell like a sewer rat?

00:16:44I've just been working hard all day, Father.

00:16:46Working hard inside a bar. Look, I don't have time for this. What do you want?

00:16:50It's funny how nobody around here ever seems to have time when I'm around.

00:16:55It's like I'm some disease that you all want to keep at arm's length.

00:16:58Jonas, you're a grown man. Stop carrying on like a child.

00:17:02And tell me what it is that you want.

00:17:05I'd like to know why do you insist on giving Emma the false hope that she could actually take my birthright?

00:17:12Seems pretty cruel, even by your standards.

00:17:14I'll have you know she has every opportunity to succeed in running this company.

00:17:19If she lands the deal, I will honor my promise and hand over the reins.

00:17:22No.

00:17:27You can't do that.

00:17:29You can't do that!

00:17:31Oh, can't I? Just watch me.

00:17:32You can't do this. It's not fair! You can't do this!

00:17:41Wait. You're just trying to teach me a lesson, aren't you?

00:17:46To show me the error of my ways. Well, lesson learned. You didn't have to go this far.

00:17:56Jonas, come and sit down and we'll talk about this man to man.

00:18:00Castro Enterprises is a family business that is being passed down from generation to generation.

00:18:14It was my grandfather's and he passed it down to my father.

00:18:16My father then passed it down to me. But I had to earn it. He didn't just give it over.

00:18:22I had to work my butt off to prove myself to him and earn his respect.

00:18:26Just like your sister has done every single day.

00:18:29But what are you doing?

00:18:31All you are doing is spending our fortune every nickel, penny and dime.

00:18:34I mean, that was a $500,000 bill just on champagne alone.

00:18:38What are you spending that kind of money on booze for?

00:18:41Are you opening a winery?

00:18:43Jonas, I need you...

00:18:47I need you to start earning my respect and my trust, not squandering our fortune.

00:18:53Father, are you okay?

00:18:54I'm fine. Worry more about your own reputation rather than my health.

00:18:59You know what, Father? You're right.

00:19:02I'll do just that.

00:19:05Thank you for setting me on the right path.

00:19:08As always, I won't disappoint you.

00:19:12I promise.

00:19:25Who is it?

00:19:26Ms. Castro, I have you a coffee with two sugars.

00:19:28You're the best.

00:19:29And I told you, you don't need to be so formal with me.

00:19:31Oh, yes, sorry. I keep forgetting.

00:19:35Bring me that coffee.

00:19:36No worries, Emma.

00:19:38Oh, I forgot to ask you, how do things go with Mr. X?

00:19:42He's obviously not a serial killer.

00:19:45No, he was something worse. He's a psychopath.

00:19:48Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

00:19:50So does that mean you're not going to go ahead with the project?

00:19:53Sorry, one second.

00:19:55Who could this be?

00:19:57Mr. X sends a message.

00:20:00Time's up.

00:20:04Who was it?

00:20:05Is everything okay?

00:20:06Speak of the devil.

00:20:08Oh.

00:20:09How do you ever expect me to sign this?

00:20:23Do you really think I'm that desperate?

00:20:25I have to be very careful.

00:20:31Even one excess drop could kill her.

00:20:39There.

00:20:41Dumb.

00:20:43And what were you saying, my dear?

00:20:44First of all, I am not your dear.

00:20:47And second of all, do you really expect me to sign this?

00:20:49It's like selling myself into slavery.

00:20:54Are you listening to me?

00:20:55Is this a joke to you?

00:20:57I can hear you.

00:20:59And yelling is not going to help me hear you any better.

00:21:02Yes, that contract in front of you is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery.

00:21:06Because I will only for the duration.

00:21:09But, you're under no obligation to sign it.

00:21:13You could walk out of here right now and nobody would stop you.

00:21:16So, the fact of the matter remains.

00:21:20You have a decision to make.

00:21:26Fox ticket.

00:21:27Fox ticket.

00:21:33Fine.

00:21:35I'll do it.

00:21:37Fantastic.

00:21:39I knew you had it in you.

00:21:41But, can I just make one request?

00:21:44A request?

00:21:46I don't know if I'll like this.

00:21:48But go on.

00:21:50Well, the contract stipulates that I have to publicly agree to be marrying a...

00:21:54common gardener, not Mr. X.

00:21:58Yes, I remember putting that in.

00:21:59What about it?

00:22:00Well, just if you could give me some time to convince him.

00:22:04He's stubborn, but I think I can bring him around eventually.

00:22:09This could be problematic.

00:22:12But I'll grant it.

00:22:14You have 14 days to convince your father.

00:22:16But no other requests will be granted.

00:22:22Now, shall we proceed?

00:22:24What do you get out of this anyway?

00:22:36Is it some kind of payback or revenge?

00:22:39Or just a sick thrill?

00:22:41I guess you'll never know.

00:22:45Maybe one day I'll tell you.

00:22:54It's done.

00:23:10Are you happy now?

00:23:12Happy?

00:23:13This is a mutually beneficial arrangement.

00:23:15So don't act like you just did me a favor.

00:23:16Here, let me give you a hand with that.

00:23:20I can do it myself.

00:23:24Are you just about done?

00:23:31There.

00:23:33I need to change my clothes.

00:23:35Can you at least turn around and close your eyes or something?

00:23:38I could.

00:23:40But I think we need to start getting comfortable with each other sooner rather than later.

00:23:43We're a happily married couple now, remember?

00:23:45It says so right on this trip together.

00:23:47But I guess...

00:23:50We don't have to get comfortable.

00:23:52Right then.

00:23:54I promise...

00:23:55I won't stare.

00:23:57Is this the part where you've forced me to sleep with you to consummate our fake marriage?

00:24:05I did not force you to do anything.

00:24:08But if I wished for you to fulfill your marital obligations, I would expect you to do so with a smile on your face.

00:24:17Do we have an understanding?

00:24:27Someday, we are gonna be together.

00:24:39If you don't have an appointment, please sit down and I'll be with you shortly.

00:24:44I don't think I need an appointment.

00:24:46I pretty much own the company.

00:24:49I am so sorry, Mr. Castro. I didn't see you walk in.

00:24:53It's okay, sweetheart.

00:24:54Have you seen my sister around? I've been trying to get a hold of her.

00:24:58No, but I can write down something for you and I can get it to her.

00:25:03No, it's fine.

00:25:05I prefer to have my meetings face to face, if you know what I mean.

00:25:09Just let me know when she comes by, okay?

00:25:11Yes, of course.

00:25:15You're Emma's personal assistant, right?

00:25:20So you know a lot about the things that go on around here, right?

00:25:23I mean, I do her schedules, I write her meetings, I get her coffee, I write her proposals while I draft him, and then I also run around all day making sure...

00:25:36I am so sorry, Mr. Castro. I kind of start blabbing and then I can't stop and then it just...

00:25:41It's okay, sweetheart.

00:25:43You know, I do have a thing for intelligent women.

00:25:48Why don't I take you on a date?

00:25:51I'll take that as a yes.

00:25:53I'll call you.

00:25:55And remember, my sister can't know about this.

00:25:57Emma!

00:26:13Where have you been?

00:26:15I haven't seen you in two days, are you okay?

00:26:17You look terrible, Pelopence.

00:26:18Yeah, sorry, I just had a lot going on, that's all.

00:26:23Yeah, yeah, of course.

00:26:25Do you care to tell me?

00:26:27Alright, close the door.

00:26:29Yeah, of course.

00:26:30Alright, what I'm about to say, it has to stay between you and me, okay? It needs to be confidential.

00:26:42Yes, yes, of course, you can trust me.

00:26:44I know. Sometimes I feel like you're the only one I can trust.

00:26:47So, the last two days I was away, I got married and kind of signed my life away.

00:26:54Oh my god!

00:26:56Oh my god, I have so many questions!

00:26:57I bet. Let's hear them.

00:27:00Well, who did you get married to?

00:27:03Um, where did you get married?

00:27:05How?

00:27:08All I can say is, I've married a gardener.

00:27:12And I even have a marriage contract to prove it.

00:27:14I'm supposed to make an announcement in two weeks' time, but no one can know until I've had a chance to speak with my father first.

00:27:20Yes, of course.

00:27:22Do you think he's going to approve? I don't think he is.

00:27:25Tell me about it.

00:27:28So what else happened when I was away?

00:27:30Not much.

00:27:32Really, just your brother came in?

00:27:34Jonas was here.

00:27:35Yeah.

00:27:36He's always up to something.

00:27:38Did he say something to you?

00:27:40No, he didn't say anything to me.

00:27:41Well, out with it already. Did he do or say something while I was away?

00:27:48No, no. He pretty much just told me to let you know that he dropped by. That was it.

00:27:54Are you okay?

00:27:57Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Um, did you want me to call him for you? I can let him know. Maybe leave a note and he could-

00:28:04No, it's fine. I'm seeing him tonight for a family dinner, so whatever he has to say to me, he can say it then.

00:28:12Okay.

00:28:13Okay.

00:28:14You look as ravishing as ever, little sister.

00:28:15You look as ravishing as ever, little sister.

00:28:16Did you do something with your hair?

00:28:21You look as ravishing as ever, little sister. Did you do something with your hair?

00:28:45with your hair. No, it's the same as when you saw it last time. But you look a little

00:28:50less drunk than usual. That's an improvement. Darling sister, might you by any chance be

00:28:56implying in front of father that I'm an alcoholic? Now that wouldn't be very nice, would it?

00:29:01I'm certainly not implying you're a workaholic, that's for sure. Enough! Can't we just have

00:29:06one meal in peace, please? Sorry, father.

00:29:15Father, if I were to tell you I'm getting married, getting married to a man, how would you feel about that?

00:29:25Well, that would be wonderful news. The best news I've heard in a long, long time.

00:29:30So, who is this mystery man?

00:29:40Don't get too excited, it's just a hypothetical question.

00:29:45You really had me going there for a second. I almost took you seriously. What dude would want

00:29:54to get married to boring old you? What did you just say to me? Father, did you hear what he just

00:29:59called me? Sure, go running to daddy. Maybe he'll tuck you in and rock you to sleep too.

00:30:05You're out of line, Jonas. Then why don't you put me in line, Emma? Or do you need daddy's

00:30:10help to do that too? No, I don't need anybody's help. Enough! Enough! Seriously, why must you

00:30:15always beat each other's throats? Emmeline, put the knife away. Jonas, you're excused from

00:30:20the table. Of course you'd take her side. I don't know why I bother coming to these dinners

00:30:25anyway. Sorry about that, father. That's alright. Now, you were going to tell me about your hypothetical

00:30:35husband. Oh, um, yes. Yes, father. What does your hypothetical husband do? He's, um... It's

00:30:47okay. You can tell me. Is he an entrepreneur? A business owner? Uh, no. Well, Steve, he's, um,

00:30:54a gardener. What?

00:30:59He's a gardener.

00:31:06Why are we laughing, father? Your joke. It was hilarious. It's the funniest thing I've

00:31:19heard in a long time. Oh. Well, you know me. I'm always trying to make you laugh. Yes.

00:31:25And I just, I just wish your mother would have been here to hear it as well. She would have

00:31:29just laughed her head off. So, what is it you really wanted to talk to me about? Oh,

00:31:36um, just that I've opened talks with the Anderson Corporation and, um, they seem quite receptive.

00:31:42So, I think it's only a matter of weeks before the deal is sealed. Well, that is wonderful

00:31:47news. I'm very proud of you. You know, I actually thought this was an impossible undertaking.

00:31:52But, you're doing it with exceptional ease. Clearly the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.

00:31:58Thank you, father. I learned from the best. Well, I would like to know, how did you manage

00:32:05to pull this off? Well, um, I was able to negotiate a mutually beneficial deal and showed them how

00:32:13to increase profits and it was smooth sailing from there. Very impressive. You are clearly

00:32:19going to make an outstanding CEO. Thank you, father.

00:32:44Cynthia, darling. This is Jonas. How are you? Yeah, I'm good. I was just calling to see

00:32:50if you were free tonight for that date we were talking about. I can pick you up after work.

00:32:55Perfect. Hey, I could really use your help in grabbing a file from my sister's office.

00:33:01Could you be a sweetheart and do that for me? Wow, perfect. You're the best. I'll see you soon.

00:33:08I'll rant by it. Are you alright? You seem a lot quieter than usual tonight. Why do you even care?

00:33:30I still don't understand the point of this marriage. I mean, you haven't even touched me, let alone

00:33:39looked at me since we've been sleeping in the same bed. We hardly ever talk. I mean, what is your deal?

00:33:45What is your deal?

00:33:49I could have you anytime, anywhere I choose. I've just chosen not to exercise that right.

00:34:08Why, because you feel you own me? Well, the contract says I do.

00:34:13So why have you chosen not to? Because I'm not that kind of person.

00:34:20What kind of person are you? I mean, it's like you don't even exist.

00:34:25I do exist. You just don't know who I am. The only person I've ever wanted to genuinely see the real me.

00:34:35But you were too blinded by my poverty to see anything else.

00:34:40Well, and you think subjugating me will change that?

00:34:44I thought I was just doing this for revenge.

00:34:47God, you're so annoying. Why can't anything with you just be simple and straightforward?

00:34:52You might want to save that loud voice of yours. I think I've finally decided to exercise my own rights.

00:35:05Don't stay away from me. Don't touch me or I will scream.

00:35:12Scream? For who? The police? Miles away.

00:35:18And what would you tell them anyway? That your husband wanted to touch you?

00:35:23I mean it. Don't come any closer!

00:35:25Relax. I don't want to touch you. I just meant I want to hear what's bothering you.

00:35:34If you'll share it with me, of course.

00:35:37What? Now I'm supposed to believe you care about me after all the games you've been playing?

00:35:42I haven't given you any reason to distrust me. Why would I start now?

00:35:47God, I've never been so confused in my life.

00:35:52Okay, fine. Look, I tried talking to my father about the idea of me marrying a gardener

00:36:00and he just laughed like it was a joke. I can't even imagine what his reaction would be if it came out in the news.

00:36:07He probably disowned me.

00:36:09Hmm. Well, I can't do anything about your father.

00:36:15But I can give you another two weeks to try to convince him. But the contract won't change.

00:36:20Thank you, but why would you do that?

00:36:24I have my reasons. Maybe someday soon, everything will make sense.

00:36:30What is taking this bitch so long? I've got other shit to do.

00:37:00I have a mini-play.

00:37:10I think I'm going to be able to...

00:37:15Oh, good.

00:37:16Gotcha.

00:37:46Hey there, beautiful.

00:37:54Hey.

00:37:56Did you get it?

00:37:57Uh, yeah.

00:37:59Here.

00:38:07You okay?

00:38:08What's wrong?

00:38:09Um, yeah, I'm fine.

00:38:11It's just...

00:38:13You're gonna help Emma, right?

00:38:15Yeah, of course.

00:38:17You know how my sister is.

00:38:19Strong-headed, just like my father.

00:38:21She never would have agreed to faster up front.

00:38:24Okay.

00:38:27You know, there's a lot of space in the back.

00:38:33Here?

00:38:34In public?

00:38:36My sister will never know.

00:38:45Yes, yes, Mr. Rodrigo.

00:38:49Everything's in place to finalize the procurement.

00:38:51Thank you so much for your continual support.

00:38:53I...

00:38:53I am...

00:38:55I'm gonna have to call you back.

00:38:57Breaking news.

00:38:58Top executive married the garden label.

00:39:01The business world is stunned by the rumors that the chief operating officer of Castro Enterprises,

00:39:07one of the largest pharmaceutical conglomerates is tying the knot with an ordinary, working-class man.

00:39:14Ms. Castro, I don't know if you're in place.

00:39:15This came shortly after it was announced that she was on the verge of sealing the company's largest contract in her company's history.

00:39:22Many question her judgment and the impact this union would have on her family name.

00:39:27And in other news...

00:39:29I trusted you.

00:39:31This is how you repay me?

00:39:32It wasn't me.

00:39:33I swear, you gotta believe me.

00:39:34Don't lie to me.

00:39:35You're the only one I told.

00:39:36How did the media get wind of it?

00:39:37Emma, I would never betray you.

00:39:39You gotta believe me.

00:39:41Well, if you didn't leak the information, then who did?

00:39:44I don't know.

00:39:45I wish I knew.

00:39:56You bastard, how could you?

00:39:58How could you do this to me?

00:40:01Emma, you're home early?

00:40:03Is everything alright?

00:40:04No, everything is not alright.

00:40:06How could you do this to me?

00:40:07After you gave me your word, you betrayed me.

00:40:11I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.

00:40:14But I'll be with you in just a sec.

00:40:16I'll have to finish up here.

00:40:19No one cares about your stupid plans, Jeff.

00:40:22Just tell me why you did it.

00:40:24Tell me!

00:40:25You should not have done it.

00:40:28You really should not have done that.

00:40:33Oh, what are you gonna do?

00:40:35Leak more stuff to the press?

00:40:37I say you already have a pretty good head start on that.

00:40:40What are you talking about?

00:40:42None of this makes sense.

00:40:43Leak what to the press?

00:40:44Oh, you don't know.

00:40:46Let me refresh your memory.

00:40:47This is unexpected.

00:40:52But I assure you, I had nothing to do with this.

00:40:54You fucking liar!

00:40:55It has your fingerprints all over it.

00:40:57What would I have to gain from betraying your trust?

00:41:00What would you have to gain?

00:41:02I don't know, Jeff.

00:41:03I don't know why you do anything you do.

00:41:05But you have completely ruined my life.

00:41:08Emma, I...

00:41:09Hello, Father?

00:41:18Hello, Father.

00:41:19Hello.

00:41:20Hello.

00:41:20What am I gonna do? What the fuck am I gonna do? This is a complete disaster!

00:41:38How about you just calm down, take a few deep breaths. It might not be as bad as you're making it up to be.

00:41:44Might not, might not be as bad? Are you fucking kidding me? What am I gonna say to my father?

00:41:50Yeah this looks grim but I had nothing to do with this. How about instead of

00:41:57throwing accusations around I just call the station and ask them who gave them

00:42:01the information. Even if you could do that they would never tell you. Give me a sec.

00:42:06Who the hell are you texting? My accountants, so they can buy the new station and give me the information.

00:42:12You're bluffing and even if you could do that that would take forever to arrange.

00:42:16You'd be surprised how quickly you can get things done when you're Mr. X.

00:42:20This is a waste of my time. I just have to face my father and talk to him once and for all.

00:42:27Thanks for meeting. Done.

00:42:31Well, if it isn't the latest bride to be. I gotta be honest, I didn't see it coming. But the media seems to love it.

00:42:49You snake. How did you know? To be fair, I was surprised as well. I thought you would have had better taste.

00:42:56But I guess you gotta lower your standards when you've been single for so long.

00:43:00Well, thanks for your concern about my love life. Why don't you mind your own business and bud out?

00:43:05Well, little sister, it became my business when you decided to embarrass the family name and drag us all through the mud.

00:43:11That's rich. Coming from the guy who's depraved lifestyle gets him in the media every weekend.

00:43:17What can I say? I'm the life of the party.

00:43:20You seem confident, like you think you have me beat. But I'm the one who's about to close the biggest deal in the company's history.

00:43:27You know our father better than anyone. He would never condone any of this. Plus, you're not the only one that can cut big deals for the company.

00:43:35Oh, you think you can cut a deal? We don't even know you're living around the office.

00:43:39You'll soon find out I'm a man of many talents. Why don't you go see father? He's been waiting for you.

00:43:50Good luck. You'll need it.

00:43:57Father?

00:43:58Tell me it isn't true. Tell me this is just another media stunt designed to ruin this family's reputation.

00:44:04Father, I'm sorry. What the media is saying is true. I never meant for you to find out like this.

00:44:08Em, 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?

00:44:16I know it doesn't make sense, but please, I need you to trust me.

00:44:19Trust you? You're actively bringing shame to this family and you expect me to trust you?

00:44:24Father, please.

00:44:25Who is this man? What is he doing to manipulate you like this? Are you being blackmailed? Are you pregnant?

00:44:31Once I seal the deal with the Anderson Corporation, I promise you it'll all make sense.

00:44:37I'm afraid that will no longer be necessary.

00:44:39What? What do you mean?

00:44:41While you were busy gardening, your brother came to me with a proposal that I could not refuse.

00:44:47A proposal?

00:44:49Open it.

00:44:55This is my client!

00:45:01Not anymore.

00:45:02It doesn't matter how Jonas got the account, it is his now.

00:45:18Emeline, you no longer need to worry about the Anderson Corporation account.

00:45:22No, no, please. Don't stop me now when I'm so close to the end.

00:45:26My decision is made. Jonas will now be the successor of Castro Enterprises.

00:45:30Oh, Father, please, please, I'm begging you, don't do this to me, please.

00:45:34Alright. I will give you one more chance. On one condition.

00:45:39Of course, of course, anything.

00:45:41I want to meet this gardener as yours. I want to know who it is that has stolen my daughter's heart.

00:45:45You can't do this, Father. You simply just can't.

00:45:50She would disgrace the family name and you would condone it?

00:45:53Jonas, how dare you speak to me like that? Have you lost your mind?

00:45:56No, Father. I've lost my patience.

00:45:59I am your son. I am your heir.

00:46:03It is my birthright to be your successor.

00:46:06Jonas, how dare you speak to me like this?

00:46:08I will decide who will and who will not run this club.

00:46:13Father? Father, are you okay?

00:46:17Father, no!

00:46:19Father!

00:46:23Oh, Em, that sad look off your face.

00:46:26It's going to take a lot more than this to bring me down.

00:46:29Father, that's not funny. You shouldn't be speaking. You should be resting.

00:46:32What, you're going to start treating me like a vegetable now?

00:46:35The doctor said all I need to do is take those tablets and I'll be as right as rain.

00:46:40Oh, darling. You're looking more and more like your mother.

00:46:45She would have been so proud of you and the woman you've become.

00:46:49Just as I am.

00:46:53Where's your brother?

00:46:54Right here, old man.

00:46:56Glad to see you're still kicking. For a moment there I thought I'd-

00:47:02Don't you fucking dare. You did this to him.

00:47:05So it's my fault he's lying in bed like this. I'm the one that put him in this state-

00:47:09Hey, please, stop this bickering. I really can't cope with it anymore.

00:47:13Sorry, Father.

00:47:15Look, since I am temporarily unable to fulfill my role as the head of Castro Enterprises, I will need to appoint a temporary CEO.

00:47:26And Jonas, despite everything you have done, you have proven yourself a worthy candidate, so I will appoint you as CEO temporarily.

00:47:36What? No!

00:47:39Um, this is not a permanent position. I will not make my final decision until I've met your man and see in the contract.

00:48:06Jonas, what are you doing here?

00:48:17Hello, Father. Are you feeling well rested? Do you feel any better?

00:48:22No, not really. About the same.

00:48:26But, uh, why the sudden interest in my well-being? That's a little out of character for you.

00:48:33That's hurtful, Father. Your health is of top priority to me.

00:48:38I noticed your pills were running low, so I decided to refill them for you.

00:48:43Would you like to have a look?

00:48:44No, just- just give them to me, please.

00:48:57Well, I should be getting out of your hair. Get well soon, Pops.

00:49:03Well, hey! Watch where you're going!

00:49:15I'm sorry, sister. I didn't see you there. I must have been absent-minded.

00:49:19You're being too nice. What are you up to?

00:49:22What do you mean, what am I up to? I just apologized for almost pushing you over.

00:49:26What are you doing in Father's room?

00:49:29Now I can't check up on my own father? What do you people take me for around here?

00:49:33Jonas? What are you doing here, and why are you in my seat?

00:49:52Ooh, didn't you hear? I'm in charge now, so technically this is my seat.

00:49:57Do you actually need something, or did you just come here to gloat?

00:50:02Emma, Emma, you always like to get straight down to business, don't you?

00:50:06Well, let's get to it.

00:50:08You are obligated to report all findings and dealings to the company head.

00:50:11Yet, after looking through all of your files, I can't seem to find anything on the Anderson Corporation.

00:50:19Why is that?

00:50:21Why do you want the details of the deal? So you can steal my client again like you did last time?

00:50:26Come on, Emma. Don't be petty. I finalized a contract that was sitting on your desk for weeks.

00:50:32It's all in the company's best interest.

00:50:33Company's best interest? Or your best interest, Jonas?

00:50:37Well, I am currently the Chief Executive Officer, so my interest is the company's best interest.

00:50:46Of course, you never did tell me how you got the details of the contract in the first place.

00:50:51I never pegged you as someone who was scurrying around like a rat.

00:50:55I don't scurry it. I have people for them. It's the mark of a true leader.

00:50:59You know, you could really learn a thing or two from me, Emma.

00:51:03I knew it. I knew you had someone on the inside.

00:51:06Wait.

00:51:08That means that someone's...

00:51:11That fucking bitch!

00:51:24Emma, good- it's Miss Castro to you.

00:51:27Going somewhere?

00:51:28Um, yes. I have something to tell you that-

00:51:31Meaning to tell me what?

00:51:33Exactly. That you're a liar?

00:51:35A backstabber? That you've been conniving with my brother behind my back?

00:51:38What exactly were you meaning to tell me?

00:51:40Emma, I know it looks bad, but I never lied about any-

00:51:43Don't lie to me.

00:51:45Have some dignity.

00:51:48I trusted you and you betrayed me.

00:51:50I hardly think this is appropriate workplace behavior, little sister.

00:51:53I could have you sanctioned for assaulting my personal assistant.

00:51:58Your personal assistant. So that's what this is. You sold me out.

00:52:02Cynthia darling, wait for me in my office. I'll be with you shortly.

00:52:08Emma, it wasn't meant to be like this.

00:52:12I'm sorry.

00:52:14I'm sorry.

00:52:24As CEO, I'm responsible for the well-being of all my employees. I'm sure you understand.

00:52:29Inner room, CEO. Let's see how long you can hold on to that position once father recovers, sweet brother.

00:52:40Oh, Emma. I plan to hold on to this position for a very, very long time.

00:52:44Hey, um, I really wanted to apologize for the way I treated you and that I doubted you.

00:53:03And I shouldn't have broken your plan. That was a stupid thing to do.

00:53:08I never thought I'd see the day that Emily and Castro would apologize.

00:53:11Well, don't get used to it. It's not going to happen again.

00:53:17Actually, scratch that. I think, I think it will happen more often.

00:53:23I, I know I haven't been the best fake wife to you, but you've been good to me.

00:53:30And you've been kind and patient and you didn't try and force yourself on me when you could have.

00:53:35Emma, you don't have to.

00:53:36No, please, just let me finish, okay? It's, this is really hard for me to say.

00:53:42But I also want to apologize for how I've treated you in the past.

00:53:45I've been self-centered and egocentric and I am sorry.

00:53:52It's okay, Emma. And just so you know, this isn't about revenge.

00:53:56What is it about? I mean, what do you stand to gain from this contract?

00:54:01I can't tell you. Not yet.

00:54:04I figured.

00:54:06Well, can you at least show me what you're painting?

00:54:09I mean, I knew you were an artist.

00:54:11Hmm. There's a lot you don't know about me.

00:54:14I bet. So, can I see it?

00:54:16Wanna come see it?

00:54:17Wanna come see?

00:54:23But, but why?

00:54:32It's beautiful, but why would you paint a picture of me?

00:54:37I don't recall it being a crime to paint a picture of a beautiful and fascinating woman.

00:54:42Well, maybe I can see it when it's finished.

00:54:48Maybe.

00:54:50We'll see.

00:54:54Emma.

00:54:56I know you just, you didn't come all this way to apologize.

00:55:01Man, I know that look on your face.

00:55:05What's going on?

00:55:07So now you can read my emotions and know when something's wrong?

00:55:10Well, I think I've always been able to do that with you.

00:55:14You pat your lips every time you're worried.

00:55:18I also know that your father's fallen ill.

00:55:22And that your brother's taking control of the company.

00:55:25How do you know that? That hasn't even gone public yet.

00:55:28I have my ways.

00:55:30And I always keep a close eye on my assets.

00:55:33The question is, what are you gonna do?

00:55:35What are you gonna do?

00:55:38At this stage, I don't know.

00:55:41My father said the only way he'd even entertain the idea of me getting married to a gardener is if he met the man first.

00:55:49But I know the contract I signed says that I can't do that, so I guess you could say I'm out of options.

00:55:53Mm-mm.

00:56:00That is a precarious situation.

00:56:02And it would void the contract.

00:56:08But I'll do it.

00:56:10What?

00:56:12What did you just say?

00:56:13I said I'll do it.

00:56:15I'll go with you to see your father.

00:56:18But why would you do that? That doesn't make any sense.

00:56:20All I can say is that in this respect, our goals are aligned.

00:56:25Oh, goals aligned? What goals are you talking about, Jeff? I... What goals?

00:56:30Don't worry about that now. Everything will make sense soon.

00:56:33We can go right now if you'd like. I'll grab my coat.

00:56:50Cynthia, darling, why the long face? We should be celebrating that victory, not sulking.

00:56:55She never helped you.

00:56:57Your sister hates me because she thinks I betrayed her. And rightfully so.

00:57:00I didn't realize you were going to use that information against her.

00:57:03And if I did, I wouldn't have helped you.

00:57:06All you care about is yourself.

00:57:08I think you've been well compensated for your efforts.

00:57:11A salary bump, a triple promotion.

00:57:14I'd expect you to be more grateful.

00:57:16I'm sorry. I'm grateful.

00:57:18But what's going to happen when your dad wakes up?

00:57:21Is it going to be the same?

00:57:23Who says my father's going to recover?

00:57:31What do you mean by that?

00:57:34Everyone keeps going on and on about how my father's going to recover and all the things that will happen.

00:57:40But my father has a very serious illness and he might not recover. And that's just a fact.

00:57:45How could you say that about your own father?

00:57:48I don't think I've said anything out of place.

00:57:50My father is very sick and he might be in bed for a very long time.

00:57:54And I'm sure that would definitely suit your agenda, wouldn't it?

00:57:57Are you accusing me of something?

00:57:59No, Jonah. I'm not accusing you of anything. I just think I chose the wrong side.

00:58:04And what side is that?

00:58:06Look, you're not the man that I thought you were.

00:58:09I heard stories, but I didn't think they were true, but clearly they are.

00:58:15And what stories are those? Tell me the tales of Jonas Castro.

00:58:19Jonas Castro.

00:58:21Jonas Castro? Well, Jonas Castro loves himself. He's an alcoholic. He's a womanizer. He's just pure evil. That's who Jonas Castro is.

00:58:34Look, I can't do this. I'm leaving.

00:58:40Where the fuck do you think you're going?

00:58:43Seems you've forgotten your place. Maybe it's time I reminded you.

00:58:51Please. Let go. Jonas.

00:58:55You really think you can say whatever the fuck you want and get away with it?

00:58:58Look, I think you're drunk and I think you just need to get off me, please.

00:59:04Let me remind you, you were just a pawn in all of this. Before I came into your life, you were nothing.

00:59:08Please. Please, I'm sorry. Just, oh, forget about it and we can go.

00:59:13No, no.

00:59:14Please.

00:59:15I think I need to teach you a lesson.

00:59:17I don't want to never forget.

00:59:23You seem pretty confident. I guess you've done a lot of stuff like this before.

00:59:28Not really. Any advice on approaching your father?

00:59:32Well, he already doesn't like you. So I guess just be yourself.

00:59:35Let's get the sofa with him.

00:59:39Father, I'm here. You're not alone. I'm with my fiancé.

00:59:47It's you.

00:59:50Wait, you two know each other?

00:59:54Your father and I have met. It was a long time ago. I'm surprised he remembers.

00:59:58I never forget a face. Especially one as unique as yours.

01:00:04Wait, hang on. This doesn't make any sense. Someone needs to give me some answers.

01:00:09This man came to me a few years ago asking for a private meeting to discuss a very important proposal.

01:00:20Proposal.

01:00:21Proposal.

01:00:22The End

01:00:24The End

01:00:26The End

01:00:28The End

01:00:29You're the man I spoke with on the phone?

01:00:52Yes, sir.

01:00:55It's not every day I have a meeting with a total stranger,

01:00:57but you said you had an interesting business proposal, so what is it?

01:01:01Of course, sir. I understand perfectly.

01:01:04But I said I had an interesting proposal for you.

01:01:07It may not be exactly considered a business proposal.

01:01:11Young man, I don't have time for your silly little word games,

01:01:14so you have five minutes to tell me what the proposal is,

01:01:16or I will have you thrown out.

01:01:18Right down to business.

01:01:22I would like to ask for your daughter, Emma's handyman.

01:01:27I'm sorry. I think my hearing must be playing tricks on me.

01:01:37Could you repeat that for me, please?

01:01:39I said I would like your daughter's hand in marriage.

01:01:44So it seems like my hearing is fine.

01:01:47No, sir. I believe your hearing is still top-notch.

01:01:49So what makes you think I would go for such a ludicrous idea?

01:01:53Well, I didn't think you'd have a problem with it,

01:01:54since I am the heir to my family's billion-dollar fortune.

01:01:59Is that supposed to impress me?

01:02:00Anyone can claim to be anything these days.

01:02:02That's my family's name, our net worth.

01:02:11We operate several business enterprises,

01:02:13as well as doing philanthropic work.

01:02:15So?

01:02:16A union between your daughter and I would strengthen both our families,

01:02:20galvanizing our position in high society,

01:02:21making us a formidable force.

01:02:23I didn't think you'd have a problem with it.

01:02:26Well, I see you've done your research.

01:02:28But even if I were to give this union my blessing,

01:02:31I could never convince my Emmeline to marry someone that she didn't choose herself.

01:02:36Well, I believe that's where I come in.

01:02:38How so?

01:02:39So, how exactly do you plan on wooing my daughter?

01:02:50Well, in all honesty, sir, it's not a very good plan,

01:02:53but it's one that sets my heart at ease.

01:02:55What exactly are you talking about?

01:02:58I've not had much luck with women in this regard.

01:03:00They always seem to be after me for access to my money.

01:03:05I'm so sick of it.

01:03:06So I intend to disguise myself as a nobody.

01:03:10Are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money,

01:03:14like some pathetic little gold digger?

01:03:16No, no, sir.

01:03:18I just want Emma to get to know me for me, that's all.

01:03:21This is a ridiculous plan.

01:03:22It'll never work.

01:03:24I know.

01:03:25But I'm still willing to try.

01:03:27And if it goes south, no harm done.

01:03:29So what exactly do you want from me?

01:03:31Well, I was hoping you could put in a good word for me.

01:03:34But Emma can't know that you know who I am.

01:03:37Maybe you could say that I'm the son of an old friend.

01:03:39This is a ridiculous plan.

01:03:40I think you just need to leave.

01:03:42It's no secret that you yearn for your daughter

01:03:44to get married to someone worthy from high society.

01:03:48Please just consider the plan.

01:03:50How dare you presume to know me and what it is that I want?

01:03:54Get out!

01:03:55Thank you for your time.

01:04:02If you reconsider, please give me a call.

01:04:07How arrogant.

01:04:10Reminds me of my younger self.

01:04:19Wait, so hang on.

01:04:20What you're trying to tell me is...

01:04:22I've never been poor a day in my life.

01:04:25I just wanted you to see the real me.

01:04:27That's what I was trying to tell you that day in the restaurant.

01:04:30But you wouldn't hear me out.

01:04:32So you just created a fake marriage?

01:04:35A contract marriage?

01:04:36And why not move on to someone else?

01:04:38Contract marriage?

01:04:40But what if I hadn't signed it?

01:04:41What was going to be your next scheme?

01:04:43I told you.

01:04:45You're the only person that I ever wanted to see me for who I was.

01:04:50And it wasn't a sham contract.

01:04:52I would have kept my end of the bargain at the end of the three months.

01:04:57What if I hadn't signed it?

01:04:59What would your next scheme mean?

01:05:01There was no next scheme because I knew you would sign it.

01:05:04How did you know that?

01:05:06Because I know you.

01:05:07Evelyn, you're willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want.

01:05:13Just like I am.

01:05:14You seem to know a lot about me.

01:05:17I really don't know what's going on here.

01:05:20But Em, if you're willing to accept his marriage proposal,

01:05:25you can have the company.

01:05:29No, Father.

01:05:31There's no marriage proposal.

01:05:33There's a web of lies and deceit in this sick man's games.

01:05:38There is now.

01:05:40Emma, you're the only one I've ever wanted.

01:05:44The only one I love.

01:05:47I'm sorry I had to pretend to be someone I wasn't.

01:05:51But if you're willing to make an honest man out of me,

01:05:55I promise no more games or half-truths.

01:06:00Emma, will you marry me?

01:06:07Will you marry me?

01:06:12Jeff, you're a very curious human being.

01:06:17But you have been very kind and caring to me over the last few months.

01:06:21And even though I've been a total bitch,

01:06:24I hate to admit it, but I have grown fond of you.

01:06:27So is that a yes?

01:06:29Well, we've already been married for two months.

01:06:31Might as well give it a real shot.

01:06:32Oh, looks like I missed the family reunion.

01:06:46Guess my invitation got lost in the mail.

01:06:48No, Jonas, you're just in the nick of time.

01:06:50Your sister is getting married.

01:06:53Oh, that's wonderful news.

01:06:55I'm not finished.

01:06:56It is also my final decision

01:06:58that she takes over as CEO of Castro Enterprises

01:07:01and that you step down effective immediately.

01:07:04Like hell I will.

01:07:06I'm your son!

01:07:07No son of mine would swap out my medication

01:07:10for a placebo so that I would die faster.

01:07:13Yeah, I knew about that.

01:07:15I might be sick, but I am not senile.

01:07:18I didn't want it to come with a superwoman.

01:07:20But it looks like I'm in no other choice.

01:07:22What the hell are you doing?

01:07:25That's how father, what are you doing?

01:07:28I'm doing what I should have done

01:07:29a long time ago, little sister.

01:07:31Please, that's how father.

01:07:33Just think about what you're doing.

01:07:34Put it down.

01:07:43Step out of the way, Emma.

01:07:45I'm not going to tell you again.

01:07:46No, please, think about what you're doing.

01:07:48This is how father, put it down.

01:07:50What the fuck do you think you're doing, Emma?

01:07:52Get out of the way.

01:07:53No.

01:07:54It's okay, Emma.

01:07:55I'll handle this.

01:07:56No, please, let me talk to him.

01:07:58Talk to who?

01:07:58This piece of shit?

01:08:00This disgraceful excuse for a man

01:08:02that I'm ashamed to call my son?

01:08:04Your mother was right about you.

01:08:06If you refuse to get out of the way, Emma,

01:08:08then you can go to the grave with him.

01:08:11No, no, no.

01:08:13No!

01:08:15Father!

01:08:16No, no!

01:08:18No, no, no!

01:08:19Father!

01:08:22Father, please, no!

01:08:26Please, call an ambulance!

01:08:28No, call an ambulance!

01:08:29It's too late, Em.

01:08:30It's too late.

01:08:31Father, please.

01:08:33Em, don't worry.

01:08:34It's fine.

01:08:36Know that I'm so proud of you.

01:08:40And your mother would have been

01:08:42so proud of you, too.

01:08:44I'll send her your love.
