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

01:03:10interesting business proposal so what is it well sir i understand perfectly but i said i had a
01:03:16interesting proposal for you it may not be exactly considered a business proposal young man i don't

01:03:58no sir i believe your hearing is still top notch so what makes you think i would go for such a
01:04:04ludicrous idea well i didn't think you'd have a problem with it since i am the heir to my family's
01:04:08billion dollar fortune is that supposed to impress me anyone can claim to be anything these days
01:04:14that's my family's name our net worth we operate several business enterprises as well as doing
01:04:26philanthropic work so a union between your daughter and i would strengthen both our families galvanizing
01:04:32our position in high society making us a formidable force i didn't think you'd have a problem with it
01:04:37well i see you've done your research but even if i were to give this union my blessing i could
01:04:44never convince my emmeline to marry someone that she didn't choose herself well i believe that's
01:04:49where i come in how so
01:04:50so how exactly do you plan on wooing my daughter

01:05:16i'm so sick of it so i intend to disguise myself as a nobody
01:05:22are you suggesting that my daughter is after you for your money like some pathetic little gold digger
01:05:28no no sir i just want emma to get to know me for me that's all
01:05:33this is a ridiculous plan it'll never work

01:05:42so what exactly do you want from me
01:05:44well i was hoping you could put in a good word for me but emma can't know that you know who i am
01:05:49maybe you could say that i'm the son of an old friend
01:05:51this is a ridiculous plan i think you just need to leave
01:05:54it's no secret that you yearn for your daughter to get married to someone worthy
01:05:58from high society
