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