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