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