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