00:00:00Father, what's the meaning of this? How could you do this to me?
00:00:15Well, good morning, Emmeline. I see you're in a great mood again.
00:00:19After everything I've done for you, the family, the company, this is how you reward me?
00:00:23Calm down and let me know what you're saying.
00:00:26Oh, so you're going to deny it?
00:00:27Denying what? I still have no idea what you're talking about.
00:00:30The rumors going around the company that you're stepping down in three months and you've already named Jonas your successor.
00:00:34So that's what this drama is about?
00:00:36Yes.
00:00:37Yeah, it's true.
00:00:38That's ridiculous. Jonas can't take care of himself, let alone a whole company.
00:00:42I mean, all he does is spend his money on partying and women and I'm the one who actually does the work.
00:00:47Yes, and that's why you're the chief operating officer.
00:00:50Look, I need you with your skill set in that role so that you can support your brother so that he too can succeed.
00:00:56Well, what if I make you an author?
00:01:00One you can't refuse.
00:01:01I'm listening.
00:01:07I'm listening. Have a seat.
00:01:12Father, I am certain this is an offer you're going to appreciate.
00:01:16An offer I'm going to appreciate?
00:01:18You're getting married. Great, because we both know you're not getting any younger.
00:01:21What? No, I'm talking about a business proposal, not a marriage.
00:01:26Yeah, okay, well, what's your business proposal?
00:01:30Okay, so what if I could secure a partnership with the Anderson Corporation?
00:01:35The Anderson Corporation? I've been trying to land that account for 10 years. It's impossible. It can't be done.
00:01:41No, I have my ways, father. I just need you to trust me.
00:01:45Hmm. If it was anybody else, I would say no. But you're my daughter and I trust you.
00:01:54But just to let you know, I am going to be publicly announcing my retirement in three months.
00:02:00So you have three months to change my mind.
00:02:03Um, thank you, but I was hoping just to have a little more time.
00:02:07Three months and not a day more.
00:02:29Fucking hell. I just don't get it. I have sent out a million proposals at this point and I still had no response.
00:02:37Mail for Mr. Balleen Kestrel?
00:02:43Yes, thank you.
00:02:53Yes, who is it?
00:02:55Yes, Cynthia, what do you want?
00:02:57Um, I've got mail from the Anderson Corporation.
00:02:59I think they finally responded.
00:03:01What'd they say?
00:03:02Oh, I don't know. It's sealed.
00:03:04Don't just stand there. Read to me.
00:03:07Oh, my God.
00:03:15This is for Mr. X himself.
00:03:17He's asked me to come meet him at his private residence to discuss the terms of the contract.
00:03:21Oh, my God. It's great news.
00:03:24I'll cancel the rest of your appointments for the afternoon.
00:03:27No, no. I don't think that'll be necessary.
00:03:30Why not?
00:03:31I'm not going.
00:03:32I'm not going.
00:03:37What do you mean you're not going?
00:03:41This is the big break you've been waiting for.
00:03:44I know.
00:03:44I know.
00:03:45But does something about this seem off to you?
00:03:49Off?
00:03:50What do you mean off?
00:03:52You've sent out a million proposals.
00:03:55And now suddenly we get a response from Mr. X himself?
00:03:57I guess so, Ms. Castro.
00:03:59But what do you have to lose?
00:04:01Honestly, you've been waiting for this.
00:04:04Might as well.
00:04:05Hey, you. Gardner.
00:04:25I'm here to meet Mr. X. Am I in the right place?
00:04:31Do I know you from somewhere?
00:04:32Yes, I imagine you do.
00:04:36I'm...
00:04:36Unimportant.
00:04:37I'm here to meet Mr. X.
00:04:39Is this the place?
00:04:42He's waiting for you.
00:04:43Just through that door and down the hall.
00:04:55Okay.
00:05:03Did you see?
00:05:16I know.
00:05:16It's good.
00:05:20Yeah.
00:05:21It was...
00:05:22Hello.
00:05:36Look, I don't know what kind of a sick game you're playing, but you should go back outside
00:05:44and keep raking up leaves.
00:05:45I don't think your boss would be too happy with you wearing his clothes and sitting on
00:05:49his expensive couch.
00:05:52You still don't remember me, do you?
00:05:57Remember you?
00:06:02No way, you're Jeff?
00:06:10In the flesh, you look like you've seen a ghost.
00:06:15You haven't answered my question.
00:06:17What's going on here?
00:06:18Well, you arranged a meeting with Mr. X, so here we are.
00:06:23I imagine this is all a little much for you to take in.
00:06:28This doesn't make any sense.
00:06:31I just saw you outside pruning plants and now you're giving me a glass of whiskey.
00:06:37Is this a prank?
00:06:39Are there cameras?
00:06:41Cameras?
00:06:42I don't much care for intrusive technology.
00:06:45And I don't think it's a crime for a man to tend his own garden.
00:06:49I get a lot of satisfaction from doing it myself.
00:06:52It's therapeutic.
00:06:53So what you're trying to tell me is-
00:06:56I'm Mr. X.
00:06:58I'm the one you came here to see.
00:07:00Now shall we dispense with the charades and get down to business or would you care to be
00:07:05hysterical for a few more minutes?
00:07:07Bullshit.
00:07:08You're lying.
00:07:09Will you just admit it and stop playing games?
00:07:11You don't have to believe me.
00:07:12I'm not trying to convince you.
00:07:14The door's still open.
00:07:15You're welcome to leave.
00:07:24I've got to say, this looks really good.
00:07:27One of the best proposals I've read in a while in fact.
00:07:31I guess all the media say about you is true.
00:07:36But the figures we're looking at here run to the billions of dollars.
00:07:38Are you sure you can manage such resources?
00:07:40But I have a detailed project plan and I-
00:07:44I've looked at your plan and I've had my team go through it as well.
00:07:50The simple truth is, your company does not have the resources to manage such a large project,
00:07:55on paper at least.
00:07:56Your father has consecutively been turned down over 30 times in the past 10 years for this
00:08:00reason alone.
00:08:01What makes you think we'd accept your company's offer this time?
00:08:03You've been rejected so many times before.
00:08:05You've had all that information and you've still invited me here.
00:08:09So that begs the question, what am I really doing here?
00:08:14Oh, Emma.
00:08:17You're always as intelligent as you are beautiful.
00:08:19Don't patronize me.
00:08:21Alright.
00:08:22I won't waste your time.
00:08:24I brought you here to make you an offer.
00:08:26One that could help you secure what you came for.
00:08:30Help me secure what I came for.
00:08:31You mean the contract.
00:08:32Did you come for something else?
00:08:33No.
00:08:34I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
00:08:35So what's the offer?
00:08:36Take it.
00:08:37Open.
00:08:38What is this supposed to be?
00:08:39You're a smart woman.
00:08:40I'm sure you can read what's on the paper.
00:08:41This is a marriage contract.
00:08:42Between you and me.
00:08:43Contractual terms of the marriage outlined in detail.
00:08:44Contract set to expire in three months.
00:08:48What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?
00:08:49What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?
00:08:50Do you think I would willingly sell myself?
00:08:51What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?
00:08:52What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?
00:08:57Do you think I would willingly sell myself into servitude just for a contract?
00:09:10Let's not play games, Emma.
00:09:11I feel they're a waste of time and I don't have much of it.
00:09:13And I have no idea what you're trying to do.
00:09:14You're a good idea.
00:09:15You're a good idea.
00:09:16You're a good idea.
00:09:17What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?
00:09:18Do you think I'd willingly sell myself into servitude just for a contract?
00:09:22That's not played games, Emma.
00:09:25I feel they're a waste of time, and I don't have much of it to spare.
00:09:29I'm guessing the same is true for you.
00:09:32I know the reason you're here, or dare I say the motive behind your actions.
00:09:36What motives could that possibly be?
00:09:39Oh, I don't know.
00:09:40The fact that your father is publicly resigning from his position as CEO in three months?
00:09:45Or that he's naming someone who is not you as his successor?
00:09:49So, you thought that securing a massive contract like the Anderson Corporation
00:09:54could change his mind and finally give you the recognition you feel you deserve?
00:10:00Let me know if I missed something.
00:10:08How could you possibly know all this, down to such detail?
00:10:12In this line of business, information is key.
00:10:15And I always have my way of getting the information I want.
00:10:19But, so you've been spying on me.
00:10:21I should get a restraining order against you.
00:10:23I wouldn't call it spying when your family's business is always on the news.
00:10:27It's just simple deduction, putting two and two together.
00:10:31And how exactly do you plan to get a restraining order against a man who doesn't exist?
00:10:37What are you talking about?
00:10:38I know you.
00:10:39You're sitting right in front of me.
00:10:42What do you really know about me?
00:10:44Besides the fact that my name might be Jeff.
00:10:46Might be.
00:10:47The world knows me as Mr. X.
00:10:50You have a name and a face, but little else.
00:10:53I drove here, remember?
00:10:54I know where you live.
00:10:57I have a dozen homes across the state, none of which are in my name.
00:11:02But I think we're getting a little off topic here.
00:11:04You have a contract in front of you that can make all of your dreams come true.
00:11:08The question is, do you have the balls to take it?
00:11:14Of course, you could walk away, turn it down, and none of this will have happened.
00:11:21But remember, this is a one-time offer.
00:11:25So, decide.
00:11:27Can I at least take some time to go through it carefully, and then make a decision?
00:11:37Smart woman.
00:11:39I'll give you three days to decide.
00:11:41After which, the contract will be withdrawn.
00:11:45And nobody is to know about our little arrangement.
00:11:48Is that clear?
00:11:50Yes.
00:11:50Yes.
00:11:57God damn it.
00:11:58If this ass almost had to be out of his goddamn mind, he wants to turn me into a slave.
00:12:02And for what?
00:12:04Are you hiding something from the baby sister?
00:12:07Hiding?
00:12:08I don't need to hide anything from you.
00:12:10You're always too intoxicated to see clearly anyway.
00:12:13Oh, Emma.
00:12:14You never miss an opportunity to have a go at me, do you?
00:12:17It's bad enough I always have pops on my back.
00:12:19On your back?
00:12:20You're clearly his favorite.
00:12:22I mean, he gives you everything on a gulp platter, and you just take it for granted.
00:12:25You think you have everything figured out, don't you?
00:12:29When in truth, you're just a scared little girl running around seeking validation from her daddy.
00:12:35What are you doing here, Jonas?
00:12:36I know you didn't just come to say hi.
00:12:38I have a lot to get done today.
00:12:40What?
00:12:40I can't just come check up on my little sister?
00:12:43You haven't even offered me a seat yet.
00:12:44Now that's not very nice.
00:12:46Sorry.
00:12:47I just have a lot going on.
00:12:49Have a seat.
00:12:55This is a nice office you have here, but remind me to give you a raise when I finally take over.
00:13:04Now, can you please tell me why you're here?
00:13:07Get down to business, you mean?
00:13:10Well, I'd like you to tell father that you're no longer interested in the position of CEO,
00:13:15and that you would gladly let me take the lead as your big brother.
00:13:18Okay.
00:13:25And why the hell would I want to do that?
00:13:28Maybe because I asked nicely, with a cute little smile on my face.
00:13:32I could do a sad face if you'd like.
00:13:35This is ridiculous.
00:13:36I don't have time for this.
00:13:37I have work to do.
00:13:38I don't have time for your games.
00:13:40Or maybe you don't have a shot at winning.
00:13:42And you might get yourself hurt.
00:13:45Is that a threat, big brother?
00:13:47A threat?
00:13:48I'm just trying to look out for you, kiddo.
00:13:50Politics can be a dirty game.
00:13:52Well, thank you so much for your concern, Jonas.
00:13:55I really appreciate it.
00:13:57But I've made up my mind.
00:13:58I'm not chickening out.
00:14:01You've always had a hard time listening to simple instructions, haven't you?
00:14:05See, here's what bothers me.
00:14:09Why do you even want it, anyway?
00:14:11I mean, you barely have enough time for yourself, let alone running the day-to-day operations of a huge company like this.
00:14:17And even if I'm CEO, you'll still have plenty of money to fund your extravagant lifestyle.
00:14:22So what do you want it?
00:14:26You know what?
00:14:28You're right.
00:14:29I don't have time to manage any of this.
00:14:31Which is why I want to make you second in command.
00:14:34You'll get to manage all the day-to-day operations and make the big decisions.
00:14:37You'll basically be the one in charge, and I'll just be the pretty face of the company.
00:14:42How's that sound?
00:14:44You're out of your mind, Jonas.
00:14:49So, let me get this straight.
00:14:51You want me to do all the work around here, and you just get to take the credit?
00:14:55Would that be too much to ask of my little sister?
00:14:59I don't know what delusional world you're living in, but you need to wake up.
00:15:02Because that's never going to happen, Jonas.
00:15:05Let me ask you this.
00:15:07How do you envision this will end?
00:15:10You think I'd stand idly by while you take my fucking birthright?
00:15:14Well, when last I checked, we both had the same last name.
00:15:17I don't remember when that right was conferred to you.
00:15:20You think Father will entertain this sick fantasy of yours?
00:15:23Just like when you were a kid, so he wants to just see you get tired out before he comes to console you.
00:15:29I'm just trying to save you from all that stress.
00:15:31Again, thank you for your concern, brother.
00:15:34It's deeply appreciated.
00:15:36But I'll have to pass on your offer.
00:15:38Fine.
00:15:41If you won't hear the voice of reason, so be it.
00:15:43But don't come crying to me when things get ugly.
00:15:47Dare I ask, is that a threat I detect, brother?
00:15:50It's not a very nice way to talk to your little sister, is it?
00:15:53You know, you're lucky I...
00:15:54Emma, you asked me to remind you of, um...
00:15:58Sorry, I didn't realize...
00:15:59Alright, Cynthia, my brother here was just leaving.
00:16:04This isn't over, little sister.
00:16:06I'll be back.
00:16:06Okay.
00:16:13You had something for me?
00:16:21Oh, yeah, your, um, three o'clock appointment.
00:16:24You told me to remind you when our client is here.
00:16:26I tried to buzz you and put you in an answer.
00:16:29Sorry, Cynthia.
00:16:30I guess I was just a bit distracted.
00:16:32Um, can we reschedule that meeting for later in the week?
00:16:35I...
00:16:35I'm just not in the right frame of mind right now.
00:16:37I'm sorry to hear that.
00:16:38Is it anything to do with you-know-who?
00:16:41My brother is just being his usual self.
00:16:43He's usually pretty hard to understand.
00:16:45I guess you can't choose your family, can you?
00:16:48Tell me about it.
00:16:49I also have an insufferable brother
00:16:51who doesn't look as good in those chains.
00:16:54What was that?
00:16:56Oh, um, nothing.
00:16:58Um, could I get you a coffee or a cold drink?
00:17:01Oh, you're sweet.
00:17:02But no, it's alright, Cynthia.
00:17:04I think I just need to be alone with my thoughts.
00:17:08Oh, yes, alright.
00:17:09Um, well, I will take care of the meeting
00:17:12and I will get out of your hair.
00:17:14If you need anything, let me know.
00:17:29Father!
00:17:30We need to talk.
00:17:31Clearly you've forgotten your manners
00:17:33and how to knock on a door.
00:17:35Forgive me, Father.
00:17:36I just felt the matter was too urgent.
00:17:39Standing around knocking on doors
00:17:40felt like a waste of time.
00:17:42Right.
00:17:42But what is the matter
00:17:43and why do you smell like a sewer rat?
00:17:48I've just been working hard all day, Father.
00:17:50Working hard inside a bar?
00:17:51Look, I don't have time for this.
00:17:53What do you want?
00:17:53It's funny how nobody around here
00:17:55ever seems to have time when I'm around.
00:17:58It's like I'm some disease
00:17:59that you all want to keep at arm's length.
00:18:01Jonas, you're a grown man.
00:18:03Stop carrying on like a child
00:18:05and tell me what it is that you want.
00:18:09I'd like to know
00:18:10why do you insist on giving Emma
00:18:11the false hope
00:18:12that she could actually take my birthright?
00:18:15Seems pretty cruel,
00:18:17even by your standards.
00:18:18I'll have you know
00:18:19she has every opportunity
00:18:20to succeed in running this company.
00:18:22If she lands the deal,
00:18:24I will honor my promise
00:18:25and hand over the reins.
00:18:26No.
00:18:30You can't do that.
00:18:32You can't do that!
00:18:34Oh, can't I?
00:18:35Just watch me.
00:18:41You can't do this.
00:18:43It's not fair.
00:18:44You can't do this.
00:18:48Wave.
00:18:50You're just trying to teach me a lesson, aren't you?
00:18:53To show me the error of my ways.
00:18:56Well,
00:18:57lesson learned.
00:18:59You didn't have to go this far.
00:19:02Jonas,
00:19:02come and sit down
00:19:03and we'll talk about this man to man.
00:19:14Castro Enterprises is a family business
00:19:16that has been passed down
00:19:17from generation to generation.
00:19:19It was my grandfather's
00:19:20and he passed it down to my father.
00:19:22My father then passed it down to me.
00:19:24But I had to earn it.
00:19:26He didn't just give it over.
00:19:27I had to work my butt off
00:19:28to prove myself to him
00:19:30and earn his respect.
00:19:31Just like your sister has done
00:19:32every single day.
00:19:34But what are you doing?
00:19:35All you are doing
00:19:36is spending our fortune
00:19:37every nickel, penny, and dime.
00:19:39I mean,
00:19:40that was a $500,000 bill
00:19:41just on champagne alone.
00:19:43What are you spending
00:19:44that kind of money
00:19:45on booze for?
00:19:46Are you opening a winery?
00:19:47Jonas,
00:19:50I need you,
00:19:51I need you to start
00:19:53earning my respect
00:19:54and my trust,
00:19:56not squandering our fortune.
00:19:58Father, are you okay?
00:19:59I'm fine.
00:20:00Worry more about your own reputation
00:20:02rather than my health.
00:20:04You know what, Father?
00:20:06You're right.
00:20:08I'll do just that.
00:20:09Thank you for setting me
00:20:12on the right path.
00:20:13As always,
00:20:14I won't disappoint you.
00:20:17I promise.
00:20:34Who is it?
00:20:35Ms. Castro,
00:20:36I have you a coffee
00:20:36with two sugars.
00:20:37You're the best.
00:20:38And I told you,
00:20:39you don't need
00:20:39to be so formal with me.
00:20:41Oh, yes.
00:20:42Sorry.
00:20:42Um,
00:20:43I keep forgetting.
00:20:44Bring me that coffee.
00:20:45No worries, Emma.
00:20:48Oh, I, um,
00:20:49I forgot to ask you,
00:20:50how did things go
00:20:51with Mr. X?
00:20:52He's obviously
00:20:52not a serial killer.
00:20:54No,
00:20:55he was something worse.
00:20:56He's a psychopath.
00:20:57Oh,
00:20:57I'm sorry to hear that.
00:20:59So does that mean
00:20:59you're not going to
00:21:00go ahead with the project?
00:21:02Sorry, one second.
00:21:04Who could this be?
00:21:07Mr. X sends a message.
00:21:09Time's up.
00:21:13Who was it?
00:21:14Is everything okay?
00:21:16Speak of the devil.
00:21:17Oh.
00:21:17Oh.
00:21:17How do you ever expect me to sign this?
00:21:37Do you really think I'm that desperate?
00:21:39I have to be very careful.
00:21:46Even one excess drop
00:21:48could kill her.
00:21:53There.
00:21:55Dumb.
00:21:57Now,
00:21:58what were you saying,
00:21:58my dear?
00:21:58First of all,
00:22:00I am not your dear.
00:22:01And second of all,
00:22:02do you really expect me to sign this?
00:22:04It's like selling myself into slavery.
00:22:07Are you listening to me?
00:22:09Is this a joke to you?
00:22:11I can hear you.
00:22:13And yelling
00:22:14is not going to help me hear you any better.
00:22:16Yes,
00:22:17that contract in front of you
00:22:19is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery.
00:22:21Because I will own you for the duration.
00:22:24But,
00:22:25you're under no obligation to sign it.
00:22:27You could walk out of here right now
00:22:29and nobody would stop you.
00:22:31So,
00:22:32the fact of the matter remains,
00:22:34you have a decision to make.
00:22:41Fox ticket.
00:22:46Fine.
00:22:50I'll do it.
00:22:52Fantastic.
00:22:54I knew you had it in you.
00:22:56But,
00:22:56can I just make one request?
00:22:59A request?
00:23:01I don't know if I'll like this.
00:23:03But go on.
00:23:05Well,
00:23:06the contract stipulates that
00:23:07I have to publicly agree to be marrying a
00:23:10common gardener,
00:23:12not Mr. X.
00:23:13Yes, I remember putting that in.
00:23:15What about,
00:23:16well,
00:23:16just if you could
00:23:17give me some time to convince him.
00:23:20He's stubborn,
00:23:21but I think I can bring him around eventually.
00:23:24This could be problematic.
00:23:27But I'll grant it.
00:23:29You have 14 days to convince your father.
00:23:31But no other requests will be granted.
00:23:37Now,
00:23:38shall we proceed?
00:23:39What do you get out of this anyway?
00:23:51Is it
00:23:52some kind of
00:23:53payback or revenge
00:23:54or
00:23:54just a
00:23:55sick thrill?
00:23:57I guess you'll never know.
00:24:01Maybe one day I'll tell you.
00:24:02Okay.
00:24:03Okay.
00:24:03Okay.
00:24:09It's done.
00:24:27Are you happy now?
00:24:28Happy?
00:24:29This is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:24:31So don't act like you just did me a favor.
00:24:35Here.
00:24:36Let me give you a hand with that.
00:24:37I can do it myself.
00:24:41You're just about done.
00:24:48There.
00:24:48I need to change my clothes.
00:24:52Can you at least
00:24:52turn around
00:24:53and close your eyes or something?
00:24:55I could.
00:24:56But I think we need to start
00:24:57getting comfortable with each other
00:24:58sooner rather than later.
00:25:00We're a happily married couple now,
00:25:01remember?
00:25:02It says so right on the certificate.
00:25:04But I guess
00:25:04we don't have to get comfortable
00:25:08right now.
00:25:10I promise
00:25:11I won't stare.
00:25:12Is this the part
00:25:18where you've forced me
00:25:19to sleep with you
00:25:20to consummate our fake marriage?
00:25:22I did not force you
00:25:23to do anything.
00:25:25But if I wish for you
00:25:26to fulfill your marital obligations,
00:25:27I would expect you to do so
00:25:28with a smile on your face.
00:25:34Do we have an understanding?
00:25:42If you don't have an appointment,
00:25:59please sit down
00:26:00and I'll be with you shortly.
00:26:02I don't think I need an appointment.
00:26:04I pretty much own the company.
00:26:07I am so sorry, Mr. Castro.
00:26:09I didn't see you walk in.
00:26:11It's okay, sweetheart.
00:26:13Have you seen my sister around?
00:26:14I've been trying to get a hold of her.
00:26:16Um, no,
00:26:17but I can write down something for you
00:26:20and I can get it to her.
00:26:22No, it's fine.
00:26:23I prefer to have my meetings
00:26:24face to face,
00:26:26if you know what I mean.
00:26:27Just let me know
00:26:28when she comes by, okay?
00:26:30Yes, of course.
00:26:33You're Emma's
00:26:34personal assistant, right?
00:26:38So you know a lot
00:26:39about the things
00:26:40that go on around here, right?
00:26:41I mean,
00:26:43I do her schedules,
00:26:44I write her meetings,
00:26:45I get her coffee,
00:26:47I write her proposals
00:26:48while I draft him
00:26:49and then I also,
00:26:51I run around all day
00:26:53making sure,
00:26:54I am so sorry,
00:26:56Mr. Castro.
00:26:57I kind of start blabbing
00:26:58and then I can't stop
00:26:59and then it just...
00:27:00It's okay, sweetheart.
00:27:02You know,
00:27:02I do have a thing
00:27:02for intelligent women.
00:27:07Why don't I take you
00:27:08on a date?
00:27:10I'll take that as a yes.
00:27:12I'll call you.
00:27:13And remember,
00:27:15my sister can't know
00:27:16about this.
00:27:16Emma,
00:27:21where have you been?
00:27:41I haven't seen you
00:27:42in two days.
00:27:43Are you okay?
00:27:44You look terrible,
00:27:45no offense.
00:27:46Yeah, sorry.
00:27:46I just had a lot going on,
00:27:48that's all.
00:27:49Yeah, yeah,
00:27:50of course.
00:27:51Do you care to tell me?
00:27:53Right.
00:27:53Close the door.
00:27:55Yeah, close.
00:28:02Alright,
00:28:03what I'm about to say,
00:28:04it has to stay
00:28:06between you and me, okay?
00:28:07It needs to be confidential.
00:28:08Yes, yes,
00:28:09of course you can trust me.
00:28:10I know.
00:28:11Sometimes I feel like
00:28:11you're the only one
00:28:12I can trust.
00:28:14So,
00:28:15the last two days
00:28:15I was away,
00:28:17I got married
00:28:17and kind of
00:28:18signed my life away.
00:28:20Oh my God.
00:28:22How?
00:28:22Oh my God,
00:28:23I have so many questions.
00:28:24I bet.
00:28:25Let's hear them.
00:28:26Well,
00:28:27who did you get married to?
00:28:30Where did you get married?
00:28:32How?
00:28:34All I can say
00:28:35is
00:28:36I've married a gardener
00:28:38and I even have
00:28:39a marriage contract
00:28:39to prove it.
00:28:41I'm supposed to make
00:28:41an announcement
00:28:42in two weeks' time
00:28:43but no one can know
00:28:44until I've had a chance
00:28:45to speak with my father first.
00:28:47Yes, of course.
00:28:48Do you think
00:28:48he's going to approve?
00:28:49I don't think he is.
00:28:51Tell me about it.
00:28:54So,
00:28:54what else happened
00:28:55when I was away?
00:28:57Not much.
00:28:58Really,
00:28:58just your brother came in?
00:29:00Jonas was here.
00:29:01Yeah.
00:29:02He's always up to something.
00:29:04Did he say something to you?
00:29:06No,
00:29:06he didn't say anything to me.
00:29:12Well,
00:29:13out with it already.
00:29:14Did he do or say something
00:29:15while I was away?
00:29:16No, no.
00:29:17He pretty much just told me
00:29:18to let you know
00:29:19that he dropped by.
00:29:21That was it.
00:29:23Are you okay?
00:29:25Yeah, yeah.
00:29:26I'm fine.
00:29:27Did you want me
00:29:28to call him for you?
00:29:30I can let him know
00:29:31and maybe leave a note
00:29:32and he could...
00:29:33No, it's fine.
00:29:34I'm seeing him tonight
00:29:35for a family dinner
00:29:36so whatever he has to say to me,
00:29:38he can say it then.
00:29:41Okay.
00:29:58You look as ravishing
00:30:10as ever,
00:30:10little sister.
00:30:12Did you do something
00:30:13with your hair?
00:30:14No,
00:30:14it's the same
00:30:15as when you saw it last time.
00:30:17But you look a little
00:30:18less drunk than usual.
00:30:19That's an improvement.
00:30:21Darling sister,
00:30:23might you by any chance
00:30:24be implying
00:30:25in front of father
00:30:25that I'm an alcoholic?
00:30:27Now that wouldn't
00:30:28be very nice,
00:30:29would it?
00:30:29I'm certainly not
00:30:30implying you're a workaholic,
00:30:31that's for sure.
00:30:32Enough!
00:30:33Can't we just have
00:30:34one meal in peace, please?
00:30:37Sorry, father.
00:30:37Sorry, father.
00:30:43Father,
00:30:44if I were to tell you
00:30:47I'm getting married,
00:30:50getting married to a man,
00:30:51how would you feel
00:30:52about that?
00:30:53Well,
00:30:53that would be
00:30:54wonderful news.
00:30:55The best news
00:30:56I've heard
00:30:56in a long,
00:30:57long time.
00:30:58So,
00:30:59who is this
00:31:00mystery man?
00:31:08Well,
00:31:09don't get too excited.
00:31:10It's just a
00:31:11hypothetical question.
00:31:16You really
00:31:17had me going
00:31:18there for a second.
00:31:19I almost
00:31:19took you seriously.
00:31:20what dude
00:31:22would want
00:31:22to get married
00:31:23to boring old you?
00:31:24What did you
00:31:25just say to me?
00:31:26Father,
00:31:26did you hear
00:31:27what he just
00:31:27called me?
00:31:28Sure,
00:31:29go running to daddy.
00:31:31Maybe he'll
00:31:31tuck you in
00:31:32and rock you
00:31:32to sleep too.
00:31:33You're out of line,
00:31:34Jonas.
00:31:35Then why don't
00:31:36you put me in line,
00:31:36Emma?
00:31:37Or do you need
00:31:38daddy's help
00:31:38to do that too?
00:31:39No,
00:31:39I don't need
00:31:40anybody's help.
00:31:40Enough,
00:31:41enough!
00:31:42Seriously,
00:31:43why must you
00:31:43always meet
00:31:44each other's
00:31:44throats?
00:31:45Emma,
00:31:45put the knife away.
00:31:46Jonas,
00:31:47you're excused
00:31:48from the table.
00:31:49Of course
00:31:50you'd take
00:31:50her side.
00:31:51I don't know
00:31:52why I bother
00:31:52coming to these
00:31:53dinners anyway.
00:31:58Sorry about that,
00:31:59father.
00:31:59That's all right.
00:32:00Now,
00:32:01you were going
00:32:01to tell me
00:32:02about your
00:32:02hypothetical husband.
00:32:05Oh,
00:32:06um,
00:32:07yes,
00:32:08yes,
00:32:08father.
00:32:09What does
00:32:10your hypothetical
00:32:10husband do?
00:32:13He's,
00:32:14um...
00:32:14It's okay,
00:32:15you can tell me.
00:32:16is he an
00:32:16entrepreneur,
00:32:17a business
00:32:18owner?
00:32:19Uh,
00:32:19no.
00:32:20Well,
00:32:21you see,
00:32:21he's, um,
00:32:23a gardener.
00:32:26A what?
00:32:32He's a gardener.
00:32:41Why are we
00:32:43laughing,
00:32:43father?
00:32:44Your joke.
00:32:45It was hilarious.
00:32:46It's the funniest
00:32:47thing I've heard
00:32:47in a long time.
00:32:48Oh,
00:32:49well,
00:32:50you know me,
00:32:50I'm always
00:32:51trying to make
00:32:51you laugh.
00:32:52Yes,
00:32:53and I just,
00:32:54I just wish
00:32:55your mother
00:32:56would have been
00:32:56here to hear
00:32:56it as well.
00:32:57She would have
00:32:57just laughed
00:32:58her head off.
00:33:00So,
00:33:00what is it
00:33:02you really
00:33:02wanted to talk
00:33:03to me about?
00:33:04Oh,
00:33:04um,
00:33:06just that I've
00:33:06opened talks
00:33:07with the
00:33:07Anderson Corporation
00:33:08and,
00:33:09um,
00:33:09they seem
00:33:09quite receptive.
00:33:11So,
00:33:11I think it's
00:33:11only a matter
00:33:12of weeks
00:33:12before the deal
00:33:13is sealed.
00:33:13Well,
00:33:14that is
00:33:14wonderful news.
00:33:15I'm very proud
00:33:16of you.
00:33:17You know,
00:33:17I actually
00:33:17thought this
00:33:18was an
00:33:18impossible
00:33:19undertaking,
00:33:20but you're
00:33:21doing it
00:33:21with exceptional
00:33:22ease.
00:33:24Clearly,
00:33:24the apple
00:33:24hasn't fallen
00:33:25far from the
00:33:25tree.
00:33:26Thank you,
00:33:26Father.
00:33:27I learned
00:33:27from the best.
00:33:29Well,
00:33:30I would like
00:33:31to know,
00:33:32how did you
00:33:33manage to
00:33:33pull this
00:33:34off?
00:33:35Well,
00:33:36um,

00:33:40showed them
00:33:41how to
00:33:41increase
00:33:41profits,
00:33:42and it
00:33:43was smooth
00:33:44sailing
00:33:44from there.
00:33:45Very
00:33:45impressive.

00:34:52Are you
00:34:52alright?
00:34:53You seem
00:34:54a lot quieter
00:34:54than usual
00:34:55tonight.
00:34:57Why do
00:34:57you even
00:34:58care?
00:35:01I still
00:35:02don't
00:35:02understand
00:35:02the point
00:35:03of this
00:35:04marriage.
00:35:04I mean,
00:35:04you haven't
00:35:06even
00:35:06touched
00:35:07me,
00:35:07let alone
00:35:07looked at
00:35:08me since
00:35:08we've been
00:35:08sleeping in
00:35:09the same
00:35:09bed.
00:35:10We hardly
00:35:10ever talk.
00:35:11I mean,
00:35:12what is
00:35:12your deal?
00:35:16What is
00:35:17your deal?
00:35:20Touching?
00:35:21I could
00:35:25have you
00:35:26any time,
00:35:27anywhere I
00:35:29choose.
00:35:33I've just
00:35:34chosen not
00:35:34to exercise
00:35:35that right.
00:35:37Right,
00:35:37because you
00:35:37feel you
00:35:38own me?
00:35:39Well,
00:35:40the contract
00:35:40says I do.
00:35:42So why
00:35:43have you
00:35:43chosen not
00:35:44to?
00:35:46Because I'm
00:35:47not that
00:35:47kind of
00:35:47person.
00:35:48what kind
00:35:49of person
00:35:49are you?
00:35:50I mean,
00:35:50it's like
00:35:51you don't
00:35:51even exist.
00:35:54I do
00:35:55exist.
00:35:56You just
00:35:57don't know
00:35:57who I am.
00:35:58The only
00:35:59person I've
00:36:00ever wanted
00:36:01to genuinely
00:36:01see the
00:36:02real me.
00:36:04But you
00:36:04were too
00:36:04blinded by
00:36:05my poverty
00:36:06to see
00:36:07anything else.
00:36:08What,
00:36:08and you
00:36:08think
00:36:09subjugating
00:36:10me will
00:36:10change
00:36:10that?
00:36:12I thought
00:36:13I was
00:36:13just doing
00:36:13this for
00:36:13revenge.
00:36:15God,
00:36:16you're so
00:36:16annoying.
00:36:17Why can't
00:36:18anything
00:36:18with you
00:36:18just be
00:36:19simple
00:36:19and
00:36:19straightforward?
00:36:20You might
00:36:21want to
00:36:21save that
00:36:22loud voice
00:36:22of yours.
00:36:24I think
00:36:25I finally
00:36:25decided to
00:36:26exercise
00:36:26my rights.
00:36:33I think
00:36:33I finally
00:36:34decided to
00:36:34exercise
00:36:35my rights.
00:36:36Don't
00:36:37stay away
00:36:37from me.
00:36:38Don't
00:36:38touch me
00:36:39or I
00:36:39will
00:36:39scream.
00:36:42Scream?
00:36:43For who?
00:36:44The police?
00:36:45Miles away.
00:36:46And what
00:36:48would you
00:36:48tell them
00:36:49anyway?
00:36:49That your
00:36:49husband
00:36:50wanted to
00:36:50touch you?
00:36:51I mean it.
00:36:52Don't
00:36:52come any
00:36:52closer!
00:36:54Relax.
00:36:55I don't
00:36:56want to
00:36:57touch you.
00:36:58I just
00:36:59meant
00:36:59I want
00:37:00to hear
00:37:01what's
00:37:01bothering
00:37:02you.
00:37:03If you'll
00:37:03share it
00:37:04with me,
00:37:04of course.
00:37:06But now
00:37:06I'm supposed
00:37:07to believe
00:37:08you care
00:37:08about me
00:37:09after all
00:37:09the games
00:37:09you've
00:37:09been playing?
00:37:10I haven't
00:37:11given you
00:37:11any reason
00:37:12to distrust
00:37:13me.
00:37:13Why would
00:37:14I start
00:37:14now?
00:37:14God,
00:37:17I've
00:37:17never
00:37:17been so
00:37:17confused
00:37:18in my
00:37:18life.
00:37:20Okay,
00:37:21fine.
00:37:22Look,
00:37:22I tried
00:37:24talking to
00:37:25my father
00:37:26about the
00:37:26idea of
00:37:27me marrying
00:37:27a gardener
00:37:28and he
00:37:30just laughed
00:37:30like it was
00:37:31a joke.
00:37:31I can't even
00:37:32imagine what
00:37:33his reaction
00:37:33would be if
00:37:33it came out
00:37:34in the news.
00:37:35He'd probably
00:37:36disown me.
00:37:37Hmm.
00:37:39Well,
00:37:39I can't
00:37:41do anything
00:37:41about your
00:37:41father.
00:37:43But I can
00:37:44give you
00:37:44another two
00:37:44weeks to
00:37:44try to
00:37:45convince him.
00:37:46But the
00:37:46contract
00:37:47won't
00:37:47change.
00:37:50Why would
00:37:50you do
00:37:50that?
00:37:52I have
00:37:53my reasons.
00:37:54Maybe
00:37:55someday
00:37:55soon
00:37:56everything
00:37:57will
00:37:57make
00:37:57sense.
00:37:57What is
00:38:09taking this
00:38:10bitch so
00:38:10long?
00:38:11Got other
00:38:12shit to do.
00:38:27night?
00:38:30Good.
00:38:38Okay.
00:38:45I
00:38:50have
00:38:51him.
00:38:52Okay.
00:38:52Really.
00:38:56Yeah.
00:38:56Okay.
00:38:56Yeah.
00:38:57Gotcha.
00:39:20Hey there, beautiful.
00:39:22Hey.
00:39:23Did you get it?
00:39:25Uh, yeah.
00:39:27Here.
00:39:27You okay?
00:39:36What's wrong?
00:39:37Um, yeah, I'm fine.
00:39:39It's just, you're gonna help Emma, right?
00:39:43Yeah, of course.
00:39:45You know how my sister is.
00:39:46Strong-headed, just like my father.
00:39:48She never would have agreed to fast her up front.
00:39:52Okay.
00:39:53You know, there's a lot of space in the back.
00:40:01Here?
00:40:02In public?
00:40:04My sister will never know.
00:40:14Yes, yes, Mr. Rodrigo.
00:40:16Everything's in place to finalize the procurement.
00:40:19Thank you so much for your continual support.
00:40:21I, I, I am, I'm gonna have to call you back.
00:40:25Breaking news.
00:40:26Top executive married the garden laborer.
00:40:29The business world is stunned by the rumors that the chief operating officer of Casserole
00:40:34Enterprises, one of the largest pharmaceutical conglomerates, is tying the knot with an ordinary
00:40:40working class man.
00:40:41Ms. Castro, I have your reports.
00:40:43It has come shortly after it was announced that she was on the verge of sealing the company's
00:40:46largest contract in her company's history.
00:40:50Many question her judgment and the impact this union would have on her family name.
00:40:55And in other news...
00:40:56I trusted you.
00:40:59This is how you repay me?
00:41:00It wasn't me.
00:41:01I swear, you gotta believe me.
00:41:02Don't lie to me.
00:41:03You're the only one I told.
00:41:04How did the media get wind of it?
00:41:05Emma, I would never betray you.
00:41:07You gotta believe me.
00:41:08If you didn't leak the information, then who did?
00:41:12I, I don't know.
00:41:13I, I wish I knew.
00:41:24You bastard, how could you?
00:41:26How could you do this to me?
00:41:29Emma, you're home early?
00:41:31Is everything alright?
00:41:32No, everything is not alright.
00:41:34How could you do this to me?
00:41:35After you gave me your word, you, you betrayed me.
00:41:38I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:41:42But I'll be with you in just a sec.
00:41:44I have to finish up here.
00:41:47No one cares about your stupid plans, Jeff.
00:41:50Just tell me why you did it.
00:41:52Tell me!
00:41:53You should not have done that.
00:41:56You really should not have done that.
00:42:00What are you gonna do?
00:42:03Leave more stuff to the press?
00:42:04I say you already have a pretty good head start on that.
00:42:08What are you talking about?
00:42:10I don't know if this makes sense.
00:42:11I'll leak what to the press?
00:42:12Oh, you don't know.
00:42:13Let me refresh your memory.
00:42:18This is unexpected.
00:42:20But I assure you, I had nothing to do with this.
00:42:22You fucking liar.
00:42:23It has your fingerprints all over it.
00:42:25What would I have to gain from betraying your trust?
00:42:27What would you have to gain?
00:42:29I don't know, Jeff.
00:42:30I don't know why you do anything you do.
00:42:33But you have completely ruined my life.
00:42:36Emma, I...
00:42:39Hello, Father?
00:42:45I...
00:42:46Uh-oh.
00:42:47Yeah.
00:42:47What am I gonna do?
00:43:02What the fuck am I gonna do?
00:43:03This is a complete disaster.
00:43:06Fuck.
00:43:07How about you just calm down?
00:43:08Take a few deep breaths.
00:43:09It might not be as bad as you're making it out to be.
00:43:11Might not.
00:43:12Might not be as bad?
00:43:13Are you fucking kidding me?
00:43:14What am I gonna say to my father?
00:43:16Fuck.
00:43:17Yeah, this looks grim.
00:43:20But I had nothing to do with this.
00:43:24How about instead of throwing accusations around,
00:43:26I just call the station and ask them who gave them the information.
00:43:29Even if you could do that, they would never tell you.
00:43:32Give me a sec.
00:43:35Who the hell are you texting?
00:43:36My accountants.
00:43:38So they can buy the news station and get me the information.
00:43:40You're bluffing.
00:43:42And even if you could do that, that would take forever to arrange.
00:43:44You'd be surprised how quickly you can get things done when you're Mr. X.
00:43:49This is a waste of my time.
00:43:50I just have to face my father and talk to him once and for all.
00:43:55Thanks for nothing.
00:43:56Done.
00:43:56Well, if it isn't the latest bride to be, I gotta be honest, I didn't see it coming.
00:44:15But the media seems to love it.
00:44:17You snake.
00:44:18How did you know?
00:44:20To be fair, I was surprised as well.
00:44:22I thought you would have had better tastes.
00:44:24But I guess you gotta lower your standards when you've been single for so long.
00:44:28Well, thanks for your concern about my love life.
00:44:31Why don't you mind your own business and butt out?
00:44:33Well, little sister, it became my business when you decided to embarrass the family name
00:44:38and drag us all through the mud.
00:44:40That's rich.
00:44:41Coming from the guy who's depraved lifestyle gets him in the media every weekend.
00:44:46What can I say?
00:44:47I'm the life of the party.
00:44:48You sound confident, like you think you had me beat.
00:44:52But I'm the one who's about to close the biggest deal in the company's history.
00:44:55You know our father better than anyone.
00:44:58He would never condone any of this.
00:45:00Plus, you're not the only one that can cut big deals for the company.
00:45:03Oh, you think you can cut a deal?
00:45:05You don't even know your way around the office.
00:45:07You'll soon find out I'm a man of many talents.
00:45:11Why don't you go see father?
00:45:12He's been waiting for you.
00:45:17Good luck.
00:45:19You'll need it.
00:45:25Father?
00:45:26Tell me it isn't true.
00:45:28Tell me this is just another media stunt designed to ruin this family's reputation.
00:45:32Father, I'm sorry.
00:45:33What the media is saying is true.
00:45:34I never meant for you to find out like this.
00:45:36Em, of all the men in the world, you choose a mere commoner, a gardener?
00:45:41Have you no self-respect?
00:45:42Have you no respect for this family?
00:45:44I know it doesn't make sense, but please, I need you to trust me.
00:45:47Trust you?
00:45:48You're actively bringing shame to this family, and you expect me to trust you?
00:45:52Father, please.
00:45:53Who is this man?
00:45:55What is he doing to manipulate you like this?
00:45:57Are you being blackmailed?
00:45:58Are you pregnant?
00:46:00Once I seal the deal with the Anderson Corporation, I promise you it'll all make sense.
00:46:05I'm afraid that will no longer be necessary.
00:46:07What?
00:46:08What do you mean?
00:46:09While you were busy gardening, your brother came to me with a proposal that I could not refuse.
00:46:15A proposal?
00:46:17Open it.
00:46:17This is my client.
00:46:24What?
00:46:28Not anymore.
00:46:29But, Father, that's not fair.
00:46:41This is my client.
00:46:43Not anymore.
00:46:44It doesn't matter how Jonas got the account.
00:46:45It is his now.
00:46:46Emily, you no longer need to worry about the Anderson Corporation account.
00:46:50Oh, please.
00:46:51Don't stop me now when I'm so close to the end.
00:46:54My decision is made.
00:46:55Jonas will now be the successor of Castro Enterprises.
00:46:58Oh, Father, please.
00:46:59Please, I'm begging you.
00:47:00Don't do this to me.
00:47:01Please.
00:47:02All right.
00:47:04I will give you one more chance.
00:47:05On one condition.
00:47:07Of course.
00:47:07Of course.
00:47:08Anything.
00:47:09I want to meet this gardener of yours.
00:47:10I want to know who it is that has stolen my daughter's heart.
00:47:14You can't do this, Father.
00:47:16You simply just can't.
00:47:18She would disgrace the family name and you would condone it?
00:47:21Jonas, how dare you speak to me like that?
00:47:22Have you lost your mind?
00:47:24No, Father.
00:47:25I've lost my patience.
00:47:27I am your son.
00:47:29I am your heir.
00:47:31It is my birthright to be your successor.
00:47:34Jonas, how dare you speak to me like this?
00:47:36I will decide who will and who will not run this cup.
00:47:41Father?
00:47:41Father, are you okay?
00:47:45Father, no.
00:47:47Father!
00:47:51Oh, Em.
00:47:52That sad look off your face.
00:47:54It's going to take a lot more than this to bring me down.
00:47:56Father, that's not funny.
00:47:58You shouldn't be speaking.
00:47:59You should be resting.
00:48:00Oh, what?
00:48:00You're going to start treating me like a vegetable now?
00:48:03The doctor said all I need to do is take those tablets and I'll be as right as rain.
00:48:08Oh, darling.
00:48:10You're looking more and more like your mother.
00:48:13She would have been so proud of you and the woman you've become.
00:48:16Just as I am.
00:48:18Where's your brother?
00:48:21Right here, old man.
00:48:27Glad to see you're still kicking.
00:48:29For a moment there, I thought you...
00:48:30Don't you fucking dare.
00:48:31You did this to him.
00:48:32So it's my fault he's lying in bed like this.
00:48:36I'm the one that put him in this state.
00:48:37Please, stop this bickering.
00:48:39I really can't cope with it anymore.
00:48:41Sorry, Father.
00:48:42Look, since I am temporarily unable to fulfill my role as the head of Castro Enterprises,
00:48:50I will need to appoint a temporary CEO.
00:48:53And Jonas, despite everything you have done, you have proven yourself a worthy candidate.
00:49:01So I will appoint you as CEO temporarily.
00:49:05What?
00:49:06No.
00:49:07M, this is not a permanent position.
00:49:10I will not make my final decision until I have met your man and seen the contract.
00:49:23What are you doing here?
00:49:44Hello, Father.
00:49:45Are you feeling well rested?
00:49:48Do you feel any better?
00:49:50No, not really.
00:49:51About the same.
00:49:53But, uh, why the sudden interest in my well-being that's a little out of character for you?
00:50:00That's hurtful, Father.
00:50:02Your health is of top priority to me.
00:50:05I noticed your pills were running low, so I decided to refill them for you.
00:50:10Would you like to have a look?
00:50:12No, just, just give them to me, please.
00:50:20Well, I should be getting out of your hair.
00:50:27Get well soon, Pops.
00:50:28Well, hey!
00:50:41What's where you're going?
00:50:42Sorry, sister.
00:50:43I didn't see you there.
00:50:45I must have been absent-minded.
00:50:46You're being too nice.
00:50:48What are you up to?
00:50:49What do you mean, what am I up to?
00:50:51I just apologize for almost pushing you over.
00:50:54What are you doing in Father's room?
00:50:57Now I can't check up on my own father.
00:50:59What do you people take me for around here?
00:51:01I'm here.
00:51:14Jonas.
00:51:16What are you doing here, and why are you in my seat?
00:51:20Didn't you hear?
00:51:21I'm in charge now, so technically this is my seat.
00:51:24Do you actually need something, or did you just come here to gloat?
00:51:28Emma, Emma, you always like to get straight down to business, don't you?
00:51:32Well, let's get to it.
00:51:34You are obligated to report all findings and dealings to the company head.
00:51:38Yet, after looking through all your files, I can't seem to find anything on the Anderson Corporation.
00:51:45Why is that?
00:51:47Why do you want the details of the deal?
00:51:49So you can steal my client again like you did last time?
00:51:52Come on, Emma. Don't be petty.
00:51:55I finalized a contract that was sitting on your desk for weeks.
00:51:58It's all in the company's best interest.
00:52:01Company's best interest? Or your best interest, Jonas?
00:52:04Well, I am currently the Chief Executive Officer, so my interest is the company's best interest.
00:52:12Of course, you never did tell me how you got the details of the contract in the first place.
00:52:18I never pegged you as someone who was scurrying around like a rat.
00:52:21I don't screw you. I have people for that. It's the mark of a true leader.
00:52:26You know, you could really learn a thing or two from me, Emma.
00:52:29I knew it. I knew you had someone on the inside.
00:52:32Wait. That means that someone's...
00:52:36That fucking bitch!
00:52:51Emma, good- It's Ms. Castro to you. Going somewhere?
00:52:54Um, yes. I have something to tell you that...
00:52:58Meaning to tell me what exactly? That you're a liar? A backstabber? That you've been conniving with my brother behind my back?
00:53:04What exactly were you meaning to tell me?
00:53:06Emma, I know it looks bad, but I never lied about any...
00:53:09Don't lie to me. Have some dignity. I trusted you and you betrayed me.
00:53:16I hardly think this is appropriate workplace behavior, little sister. I could have you sanctioned for assaulting my personal assistant.
00:53:24Your personal assistant. So that's what this is. You sold me out.
00:53:29Cynthia, darling, wait for me in my office. I'll be with you shortly.
00:53:34Emma, it wasn't meant to be like this. I'm sorry.
00:53:50As CEO, I'm responsible for the well-being of all my employees. I'm sure you understand.
00:53:56Interim CEO. Let's see how long you can hold on to that position once father recovers, sweet brother.
00:54:04Oh, Emma. I plan to hold on to this position for a very, very long time.
00:54:21Hey. I really wanted to apologize for the way I treated you and that I doubted you.
00:54:29And I shouldn't have broken your plan. That was a stupid thing to do.
00:54:33I never thought I'd see the day that Emily and Castro would apologize.
00:54:38Well, don't get used to it. It's not gonna happen again.
00:54:44Actually, scratch that. I think... I think it will happen more often.
00:54:50Look, I know I haven't been the best fake wife to you, but you've been good to me.
00:54:56And you've been kind and patient, and you didn't try and force yourself on me when you could have.
00:55:01Emma, you don't have to.
00:55:03No, please. Just let me finish, okay?
00:55:05This is really hard for me to say.
00:55:07But I also want to apologize for how I've treated you in the past.
00:55:11I've been self-centered and egocentric, and I'm sorry.
00:55:18It's okay, Emma. And just so you know, this isn't about revenge.
00:55:23What is it about? I mean, what do you stand to gain from this contract?
00:55:27I can't tell you. Not yet.
00:55:29Not yet.
00:55:30I figured.
00:55:32Well, can you at least show me what you're painting? I never knew you were an artist.
00:55:37Hmm. There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:55:39I bet.
00:55:41So, can I see it?
00:55:43Wanna come see?
00:55:50But... but why?
00:55:59It's beautiful. But... why would you paint a picture of me?
00:56:04I don't recall it being a crime to paint a picture of a beautiful and fascinating woman.
00:56:12Well, maybe I can see it when it's finished.
00:56:15Maybe.
00:56:17We'll see.
00:56:21Emma.
00:56:23I know you just... you didn't come all this way to apologize.
00:56:29And I know that look on your face.
00:56:32What's going on?
00:56:34So now you can read my emotions and know when something's wrong?
00:56:38Well, I think I've always been able to do that with you.
00:56:42You pat your lips every time you're worried.
00:56:45I also know that your father's fall nil.
00:56:49And that your brother's taking control of the company.
00:56:52How do you know that? That hasn't even gone public yet.
00:56:55I have my ways.
00:56:56And I always keep a close eye on my assets.
00:57:00The question is...
00:57:02What are you gonna do?
00:57:05At this stage?
00:57:07I don't know.
00:57:08My father said the only way he'd even entertain the idea of me getting married to a gardener is...
00:57:14if he met the man first, but...
00:57:16I know the contract I signed says that I can't do that, so I guess you could say I'm out of options.
00:57:21Hmm.
00:57:26That is a precarious situation.
00:57:29And it would void the contract.
00:57:34But I'll do it.
00:57:36What?
00:57:38What did you just say?
00:57:40I said I'll do it.
00:57:42I'll go with you to see your father.
00:57:44But why would you do that? That doesn't make any sense.
00:57:46All I can say is that in this respect, our goals are aligned.
00:57:51Our goals align?
00:57:53What goals are you talking about, Jeff?
00:57:55What goals?
00:57:57Don't worry about that now.
00:57:59Everything will make sense soon.
00:58:06We can go right now if you'd like.
00:58:08I'll grab my coat.
00:58:10I...
00:58:15Cynthia, darling.
00:58:17Why the long face?
00:58:19We should be celebrating my victory, not sulking.
00:58:22I should have never helped you.
00:58:24Your sister hates me because she thinks I betrayed her.
00:58:27And rightfully so!
00:58:29I didn't realize you were going to use that information against her, and if I did, I wouldn't have helped you.
00:58:32All you care about is yourself.
00:58:35I think you've been well compensated for your efforts.
00:58:38A salary bump.
00:58:39A triple promotion.
00:58:41I'd expect you to be more grateful.
00:58:43I'm sorry. I'm grateful.
00:58:45But what's going to happen when your dad wakes up?
00:58:48Is it going to be the same?
00:58:50Who says my father's going to recover?
00:59:00What do you mean by that?
00:59:01Everyone keeps going on and on about how my father's going to recover and all the things that will happen.
00:59:06But my father has a very serious illness and he might not recover.
00:59:10And that's just a fact.
00:59:12How could you say that about your own father?
00:59:14I don't think I've said anything out of place.
00:59:16My father is very sick and he might be in bed for a very long time.
00:59:21And I'm sure that would definitely suit your agenda, wouldn't it?
00:59:24Are you accusing me of something?
00:59:26No, Jonah. I'm not accusing you of anything. I just think I chose the wrong side.
00:59:29And what side is that?
00:59:32Look, you're not the man that I thought you were.
00:59:35I heard stories, but I didn't think they were true, but clearly they are.
00:59:42And what stories are those?
00:59:44Tell me the tales of Jonas Castro.
00:59:47Jonas Castro?
00:59:49Well, Jonas Castro loves himself. He's an alcoholic. He's a womanizer.
00:59:52He's just pure evil. That's who Jonas Castro is.
01:00:00Look, I can't do this. I'm leaving.
01:00:05Where the fuck do you think you're going?
01:00:09Seems you've forgotten your place. Maybe it's the time I reminded you.
01:00:14Please. Let go. Jonas.
01:00:17You really think you can say whatever the fuck you want and get away with it?
01:00:20Look, I think you're drunk and I think you just need to get off me, please.
01:00:25Let me remind you, you were just a pawn in all of this.
01:00:28Before I came into your life, you were nothing.
01:00:30Please. Please, I'm sorry. Just I'll forget about it and we can go.
01:00:34No, no, no, no, no.
01:00:36Please. I think I need to teach you a lesson.
01:00:39Whatever.
01:00:41You seem pretty confident. I guess you've done a lot of stuff like this before.
01:00:44Not really. Any advice on approaching your father?
01:00:46Well, he already doesn't like you. So I guess just be yourself.
01:00:50Let's get this over with you.
01:00:52Let's get this over with you.
01:00:54Let's get this over with you.
01:00:56Let's get this over with you.
01:00:58Let's get this over with you.
01:00:59Let's get this over with you.
01:01:01Let's get this over with you.
01:01:02Let's get this over with you.
01:01:03Let's get this over with you.
01:01:06Father, I'm here.
01:01:10You're not alone. I'm with my fiance.
01:01:14That's you.
01:01:17Wait, you two know each other?
01:01:20Your father and I have met. It was a long time ago. I'm surprised he remembers.
01:01:25I never forget a face. Especially one as unique as yours.
01:01:30Wait, hang on. This doesn't make any sense. Someone needs to give me some answers.
01:01:35This man came to me a few years ago asking for a private meeting to discuss a very important proposal.
01:01:47Answer.
01:02:05You're the man I spoke with on the phone?
01:02:19Yes, sir.
01:02:21It's not every day I have a meeting with a total stranger, but you said you had an interesting
01:02:26business proposal.
01:02:27So, what is it?
01:02:28Of course, sir.
01:02:29I understand perfectly.
01:02:31But I said I had an interesting proposal for you.
01:02:34It may not be exactly considered a business proposal.
01:02:37Young man, I don't have time for your silly little word games, so you have five minutes
01:02:42to tell me what the proposal is, or I will have you thrown out.
01:02:45Right down to business.
01:02:49I would like to ask for your daughter Emma's hand in marriage.
01:02:55I'm sorry.
01:03:00I'm sorry, I think my hearing must be playing tricks on me.
01:03:04Could you repeat that for me, please?
01:03:06I said I would like your daughter's hand in marriage.
01:03:10Hmm.
01:03:12So it seems like my hearing is fine.
01:03:13No, sir.
01:03:14I believe your hearing is still top-notch.
01:03:16So, what makes you think I would go for such a ludicrous idea?
01:03:19Well, I didn't think you'd have a problem with it, since I am the heir to my family's
01:03:23billion-dollar fortune.
01:03:25Is that supposed to impress me?
01:03:27Anyone can claim to be anything these days.
01:03:31That's my family's name, our net worth.
01:03:38We operate several business enterprises, as well as doing philanthropic work.
01:03:42So?
01:03:43A union between your daughter and I would strengthen both our families, galvanizing
01:03:47our position in high society making us a formidable force.
01:03:51I didn't think you'd have a problem with it.
01:03:53Well, I see you've done your research.
01:03:55But even if I were to give this union my blessing, I could never convince my Emmeline to marry
01:04:00someone that she didn't choose herself.
01:04:02Well, I believe that's where I come in.
01:04:05How so?
01:04:12So, how exactly do you plan on wooing my daughter?
01:04:16Well, in all honesty, sir, it's not a very good plan, but it's one that sets my heart at
01:04:22ease.
01:04:23What exactly are you talking about?
01:04:24I've not had much luck with women in this regard.
01:04:27They always seem to be after me for access to my money.
01:04:31I'm so sick of it.
01:04:33So I intend to disguise myself as a nobody.
01:04:36Are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money, like some pathetic little
01:04:42gold digger?
01:04:43No, no, sir.
01:04:44I just want Emma to get to know me for me, that's all.
01:04:47This is a ridiculous plan.
01:04:48It'll never work.
01:04:49I know.
01:04:50But I'm still willing to try.
01:04:54And if it goes south, no harm done.
01:04:56So what exactly do you want from me?
01:04:58Well, I was hoping you could put in a good word for me.
01:05:01But Emma can't know that you know who I am.
01:05:04Maybe you could say that I'm the son of an old friend.
01:05:06This is a ridiculous plan.
01:05:07I think you just need to leave.
01:05:08It's no secret that you yearn for your daughter to get married to someone worthy from high
01:05:13society.
01:05:14Please just consider the plan.
01:05:17How dare you presume to know me and what it is that I want.
01:05:21Get out!
01:05:23Thank you for your time.
01:05:28If you reconsider, please give me a call.
01:05:34How arrogant.
01:05:36Reminds me of my younger self.
01:05:41Wait, so hang on.
01:05:47What you're trying to tell me is...
01:05:49I've never been poor a day in my life.
01:05:52I just wanted you to see the real me.
01:05:54That's what I was trying to tell you that day in the restaurant.
01:05:56But you wouldn't hear me out.
01:05:58So you just created a fake marriage, a contract marriage?
01:06:03And why not move on to someone else?
01:06:05Contracts marriage?
01:06:06But what if I hadn't signed it?
01:06:08What was going to be your next scheme?
01:06:10I told you.
01:06:11You're the only person that I ever wanted to see me for who I was.
01:06:16And it wasn't a sham contract.
01:06:19I would have kept my end of the bargain at the end of the three months.
01:06:22What if I hadn't signed it?
01:06:25What would have your next scheme been?
01:06:27There was no next scheme because I knew you would sign it.
01:06:30How did you know that?
01:06:32Because I know you.
01:06:34Emma, you're willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want.
01:06:39Just like I am.
01:06:41You seem to know a lot about me.
01:06:43I really don't know what's going on here.
01:06:47But Em, if you're willing to accept his marriage proposal, you can have the company.
01:06:56No, father.
01:06:57There's no marriage proposal.
01:06:59Just a web of lies and deceit in this sick man's games.
01:07:04There is now.
01:07:06Emma, you're the only one I've ever wanted.
01:07:10The only one I love.
01:07:13I'm sorry I had to pretend to be someone I wasn't.
01:07:17But if you are willing to make an honest man out of me, I promise, no more games or half-truths.
01:07:25Emma, will you marry me?
01:07:34Jeff, you're a very curious human being.
01:07:43But you have been very kind and caring to me over the last few months.
01:07:47And even though I've been a total bitch, I hate to admit it, but I have grown fond of you.
01:07:54So is that a yes?
01:07:55Well, we've already been married for two months.
01:07:58Might as well give it a real shot.
01:08:00Yes!
01:08:03Oh.
01:08:08Oh, looks like I missed the family reunion.
01:08:12Guess my invitation got lost in the mail.
01:08:14No, Jonas, you're just in the nick of time.
01:08:17Your sister is getting married.
01:08:19Oh, that's wonderful news.
01:08:21I'm not finished.
01:08:23It is also my final decision that she takes over as CEO of Castro Enterprises and that you step down effective immediately.
01:08:31Like hell I will.
01:08:33I'm your son!
01:08:34No son of mine would swap out my medication for a placebo so that I would die faster.
01:08:40Yeah, I knew about that.
01:08:42I might be sick, but I am not senile.
01:08:44See now.
01:08:45I didn't want it to come to this.
01:08:47I don't want something on my mother, Jace.
01:08:49What are you doing on this?
01:08:50Dude, what the hell are you doing?
01:08:51That's how father...
01:08:52What are you doing?
01:08:53I'm doing what I should have done a long time ago, little sister.
01:08:58Please, that's how father...
01:08:59Just think about what you're doing.
01:09:00Put it down.
01:09:01Step out of the way, Emma.
01:09:06I'm not going to tell you again.
01:09:07No, please.
01:09:08Think about what you're doing.
01:09:09This is our father.
01:09:10Put it down.
01:09:11What the fuck do you think you're doing, Emma?
01:09:12Get out of the way.
01:09:13No.
01:09:14It's okay, Emma.
01:09:15I'll handle this.
01:09:16No, please let me talk to him.
01:09:17Talk to who?
01:09:18This piece of shit?
