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