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