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

01:04:37i've not had much luck with women in this regard they always seem to be after me for access to
01:04:42my
01:04:42money i'm so sick of it so i intend to disguise myself as a nobody
01:04:50are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money like some pathetic little gold digger
