00:00This is a nice office you have here, but remind me to give you a raise when I finally take over it.
00:07Father, what's the meaning of this? How could you do this to me?
00:12Yeah, it's true.
00:13What if I could secure a partnership with the Anderson Corporation?
00:16The Anderson Corporation? I've been trying to land that account for 10 years.
00:21Oh my god, this is for Mr. Epps himself.
00:25He's asking me to come meet him at his private residence to discuss the terms of the contract.
00:29You've been waiting for this. Might as well.
00:34I won't waste your time. I brought you here to make you an offer.
00:39One that could help you secure what you came for.
00:42This is a marriage contract.
00:45It's not plaguing me. I feel a waste of time and I don't have much of it to spare.
00:51You think I'd stand idly by when you take my fucking birthright?
00:55You can't do that!
00:57Oh, can't I?
00:58Just watch.
00:59You have to stay between you and me, okay? You can treat my whole mansion.
01:02Yes, yes, of course. You can trust me.
01:04You know, there's a lot of space in the back.
01:08My sister can't know about this.
01:11If I wish for you to fulfill your moral obligations, I would expect you to be sort of smiling at this.
01:16Tell me it isn't true. Tell me this is just another media stunt designed to ruin this family's reputation.
01:22Don't come any closer!
01:24Relax.
01:25I've been so confused in my life.
01:28Your brother came to me with a proposal that I could not refuse.
01:33You're a fucking bitch! I've never lied about any-
01:38You betrayed me!
01:40You really think you can say whatever the fuck you want and get away with it?
01:43Yes!
01:44Is that a threat I detect, brother?
01:46Ah!
01:47Dennis!
02:03Father? What's the meaning of this? How could you do this to me?
02:15Well, good morning, Emmeline. I see you're in a great mood again.
02:18After everything I've done for you, the family, the company, this is how you reward me?
02:23Calm down and let me know what you're saying.
02:25Oh, so you're going to deny it?
02:27Denying what? I still have no idea what you're talking about.
02:29The rumors going around the company that you're stepping down in three months,
02:32and you've already named Jonas your successor.
02:34So that's what this drama is about?
02:36Yes!
02:37Yeah, it's true.
02:38That's ridiculous! Jonas can't take care of himself, let alone a whole company.
02:42I mean, all he does is spend his money on partying and women,
02:45and I'm the one who actually does the work.
02:47Yes, and that's why you're the Chief Operating Officer.
02:49Look, I need you with your skill set in that role so that you can support your brother
02:54so that he, too, can succeed.
02:56Well, what if I make you an author, one you can't refuse?
03:01I'm listening.
03:07I'm listening. Have a seat.
03:11Father, I am certain this is an offer you're going to appreciate.
03:15An offer I'm going to appreciate?
03:17You're getting married! Great, because we both know you're not getting any younger.
03:21What? No, I'm talking about a business proposal, not a marriage.
03:25Yeah. Okay, well, what's your business proposal?
03:28Okay. So, what if I could secure a partnership with the Anderson Corporation?
03:34The Anderson Corporation? I've been trying to land that account for ten years.
03:38It's impossible. It can't be done.
03:40I have my ways, Father. I just need you to trust me.
03:44Hmm. If it was anybody else, I would say no.
03:48But you're my daughter, and I trust you.
03:52But, just to let you know, I am going to be publicly announcing my retirement in three months.
03:58So, you have three months to change my mind.
04:02Um, thank you, but I was hoping just to have a little more time.
04:06Three months, and not a day more.
04:08Two months, and not a day more.
04:28Fucking hell.
04:30I just don't get it. I have sent up a million proposals at this point, and I still have no response.
04:35Mail for Mr. Villeen Castro?
04:42Yes. Thank you.
04:53Who is it?
04:54Um, yes, maybe, what do you want?
04:56Um, I've got mail from the Anderson Corporation.
04:59I think they've got a new sign.
05:00What'd they say?
05:01Oh, I don't know what it's saying.
05:03Did him just stand there agreed to be.
05:13Oh, my God.
05:14This is for Mr. X himself.
05:16He's asked me to come meet him at his private residence to discuss the terms of the contract.
05:21Oh, my God.
05:22It's great news.
05:23I'll cancel the rest of your appointments for the afternoon.
05:26No.
05:27No.
05:28I don't think that'll be necessary.
05:29Why not?
05:30I'm not going.
05:31What do you mean, you're not going?
05:32This is the big break you've been waiting for.
05:33I know.
05:34I know.
05:35But...
05:36Does something about this seem off to you?
05:37Off?
05:38What do you mean, off?
05:39We've sent out a million proposals, and now suddenly we get a response from Mr. X himself?
05:43I guess so, Ms. Castro.
05:44But what do you have to lose?
05:45Honestly, you've been waiting for this.
05:46Might as well.
05:47I know.
05:48I know.
05:49But...
05:50Does something about this seem off to you?
05:51Off?
05:52What do you mean, off?
05:53We've sent out a million proposals, and now suddenly we get a response from Mr. X himself?
05:57I guess so, Ms. Castro.
05:58But what do you have to lose?
06:00Honestly, you've been waiting for this.
06:03Might as well.
06:04Hey, you!
06:05Gardner!
06:06I'm here to meet Mr. X. Am I in the right place?
06:09Do I know you from somewhere?
06:11Yes, I do.
06:12I do.
06:13I do.
06:14I do.
06:15I do.
06:16I do.
06:17I do.
06:18I do.
06:19I do.
06:20I do.
06:21I do.
06:22I do.
06:23I do.
06:24I do.
06:25I do.
06:26I do.
06:27I do.
06:28I do.
06:29I do.
06:30I do.
06:31I do.
06:32I do.
06:33I do.
06:34Yes, I imagine you do.
06:35I'm...
06:36Unimportant.
06:37I'm here to meet Mr. X.
06:39Is this the place?
06:41He's waiting for you.
06:43Just through that door and down the hall.
07:04Oh
07:34I don't know what kind of a sick gang you're playing, but you should go back outside and keep raking up leaves.
07:45Your boss would be too happy with you wearing his clothes and sitting on his expensive couch.
07:51You still don't remember me, do you?
07:55Remember you?
08:04No way, you're Jeff?
08:10In the flesh. You look like you've seen a ghost.
08:14You haven't answered my question. What's going on here?
08:18Well, you arranged a meeting with Mr. X, so here we are. I imagine this is all a little much for you to take in.
08:25This doesn't make any sense. I just saw you outside pruning plants and now you're giving me a glass of whiskey.
08:37Is this a prank? Are there cameras?
08:41Cameras? I don't much care for intrusive technology. And I don't think it's a crime for a man to tend his own garden.
08:49I get a lot of satisfaction from doing it myself. It's therapeutic.
08:53So, what you're trying to tell me is...
08:56I'm Mr. X. I'm the one you came here to see. Now shall we dispense with the charades and get down to business, or would you care to be hysterical for a few more minutes?
09:06Bullshit. You're lying. Will you just admit it and stop playing games?
09:11You don't have to believe me. I'm not trying to convince you. The door's still open, you're welcome to leave.
09:23I've got to say, this looks really good. One of the best proposals I've read in a while, in fact. I guess all the media say about you is true.
09:34But the figures we're looking at here are running the billions of dollars. Are you sure you can manage such resources?
09:40But I have a detailed project plan, and I'm...
09:43Hmm. I've looked at your plan. And I've had my team go through it as well. The simple truth is, your company does not have the resources to manage such a large project. On paper, at least.
09:55On paper, at least. Your father has consecutively been turned down over 30 times in the past 10 years for this reason alone. What makes you think we'd accept your company's offer this time, if you've been rejected so many times before?
10:05You had all that information, and you've still invited me here. So I got back to the question. All I'm going to do is manage.
10:14Well, and... you're always as intelligent as you are of yours.
10:19Don't compromise me.
10:21All right. That won't waste your time. I brought you here to make you an offer. One that could help you secure where you came from.
10:37Help me secure where you came from? You mean a contract?
10:40Did you come for something else?
10:42No. I just want to make sure you're on the same page. So what's the offer?
10:47Take it. Open.
10:55What is this supposed to be?
10:57You're a smart woman. I'm sure you can be with her on the same page.
11:01This is a marriage contract. Between you and me. Contractual terms for the marriage outlined in detail. Contract set to expire in three months.
11:13What makes you think I would ever, in a million years, accept something as bizarre as this?
11:18You think I would willingly sell myself into servitude just for a contract?
11:23Let's not play games, Evan. I feel a waste of time and I don't have much of it to spare. I'm guessing the same is true for you.
11:30I know the reason you're here. Or dare I say the motive behind your actions.
11:36What motive could that possibly be?
11:38Oh, I don't know. The fact that your father is publicly resigning from his position as CEO in three months?
11:44Or that he's naming someone who is not you as his successor?
11:48So, you thought that securing a massive contract like the Anderson Corporation could change his mind and finally give you the recognition you feel you deserve?
11:59Let me know if I miss something.
12:08How could you possibly know all this? Down to such detail.
12:11This line of business information is key. And I always have my way of getting the information I want.
12:18But, so you've been spying on me. I should get a restraining order against you.
12:23I 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.
12:30And how exactly do you plan to get a restraining order against a man who doesn't exist?
12:36Who's talking about it? I know you. You're sitting right in front of me.
12:41What do you really know about me? Besides the fact that my name might be Jeff?
12:46Might be.
12:47The world knows me as Mr. X. You have a name and a face, but little else.
12:53I drove here, remember? I know where you live.
12:56I have a dozen homes across the state. None of which are in my name.
13:01But I think we're getting a little off topic here.
13:04You have a contract in front of you that can make all of your dreams come true.
13:09The question is, do you have the balls to take it?
13:11Of course, you can walk away, turn it down, and none of this will have happened.
13:20But remember, this is a one-time offer.
13:24So, decide.
13:26Can I at least take some time to go through it carefully and then make a decision?
13:36Smart woman.
13:38I'll give you three days to decide.
13:41After which, the contract will be withdrawn.
13:44And nobody is to know about our little arrangement. Is that clear?
13:49Yes.
13:50Yes.
13:57So this is it.
14:00My life has no meaning.
14:02I'm worthless.
14:07I'm gonna do it.
14:09I'm doing it.
14:12Do it.
14:14What are you waiting for?
14:16Are you crazy?
14:17You almost got me killed.
14:18Show yourself, you psycho!
14:28Mr. Sam Peters.
14:31I did not expect to see you here.
14:34You were gonna jump?
14:36No.
14:38I wasn't.
14:40So don't.
14:42Let me help you.
14:48You're a good girl.
15:04I can offer you a job.
15:06What kind?
15:08I need a wife to secure my position in the family business.
15:12Okay.
15:16When do I start?
15:18Just like that?
15:22At this point I gotta do anything to survive.
15:25So you'll be my...
15:27contract bride?
15:29For a boss of a big company?
15:31Hell yeah!
15:33Even after finding out that I'm a vampire.
15:37What?
15:47You almost got me there.
15:49What gave it away?
15:51The fangs.
15:53They're so fake.
15:54But what if I really was a vampire?
15:56Would that...
15:57make you run away?
15:59Nah.
16:00I would stay.
16:02As long as you don't...
16:03drink my blood and pay me for the job.
16:06So...
16:07do we have a deal?
16:09Sure.
16:11So when do I start?
16:13Right now.
16:15Excuse me?
16:24Oh my god.
16:27Is this where you live?
16:29So you'll be moving in tomorrow?
16:32So soon?
16:34Yeah, there's no time to waste.
16:36I just wanted to show you where I live, that's all.
16:38Not even a house door?
16:40No. Let's go.
16:42What do we have here?
16:44I didn't know you'd be home too.
16:46Interesting.
16:51What are you doing?
16:52Interesting.
16:53Yes, Ken. What are you doing?
16:55Ken.
16:57I'm Rosie.
16:59Sam's fiancée.
17:01Fiancée?
17:04Very interesting.
17:10Nice to meet you, Rose.
17:13Same here.
17:15I'm sure she'll get quite comfortable here.
17:17I'm sure she will too.
17:19And she'll be moving in soon.
17:20Oh.
17:22We're certain to get along quite well then.
17:25Let's go wait until Father arrives.
17:29Father will be excited to see her.
17:31Don't you think, Sam?
17:33No, you don't have to worry about that.
17:35Me and Rosie will get along just fine.
17:38Bye, Rose.
17:39Bye, Rose.
17:50What's wrong?
17:52It smells like human.
17:55That's because there's one in this house.
17:58And it's still alive?
18:00It's still alive.
18:01What's it doing roaming around our house?
18:06You didn't kill it yet.
18:08No.
18:10Because it's Sam's fiancée.
18:11Fiancée.
18:17What's he done now?
18:20We have to do something about this, Ken.
18:24We can't let that stand.
18:27Of course.
18:28I don't know what he's thinking, but we have to get rid of her.
18:34Whatever you're thinking, I'm in.
18:39He has no idea what's coming for him.
18:42And that little brat.
18:44Sam!
18:52Where are you going?
18:54I have a lot to do.
18:56Why don't you make yourself comfortable?
18:58Alright, but...
19:00Let's talk about your brother first.
19:02My brother?
19:04What about him?
19:06Are you gonna ignore the fact that he was acting all weird?
19:09I mean, he's definitely up to something.
19:11I don't like it.
19:12I'm scared.
19:15Did I say something funny?
19:17You're getting worked up over nothing.
19:20My brother's always been like that.
19:23Don't worry about it.
19:26Why are you in a hurry?
19:30I have a lot to do.
19:32Can we talk about what you said earlier?
19:34What did I say?
19:36About me moving in.
19:38Ah, right.
19:39That.
19:41It wasn't part of the deal.
19:43Yeah, but...
19:45It needs to happen to make all this look real.
19:47What?
19:49I will double the price.
19:51Done!
20:12What?
20:23What?
20:24Are you doing?
20:28Just making myself comfortable.
20:32Well...
20:33In that case...
20:35Drink this.
20:37What's this?
20:39What's this?
20:40It's just juice.
20:42No, it's not.
20:43It's blood.
20:45Yes, it is.
20:47Do you want me to drink this?
20:49It's for a ritual.
20:51It's not to hurt you.
20:53I'm convinced.
20:54Come on.
20:55You really think that I would try to hurt you.
20:59Trust me.
21:00This...
21:01Is to help you.
21:02Come on.
21:05Close your eyes.
21:06It'll make it taste...
21:08Better.
21:15Enough!
21:16Good girl.
21:24Now you're ready.
21:25For what?
21:27To meet my father.
21:32Father...
21:34This is my future wife.
21:36Her name is Rosie.
21:38Rosie...
21:39Rose Baker.
21:41Rose Baker.
21:42But my friends call me Rosie.
21:45A pleasure, Rose Baker.
21:52You smell...
21:54Strange.
21:56Perfect.
22:00I like her.
22:02She stays.
22:03She stays.
22:12Can you tell me what's going on?
22:14My father likes you.
22:16He approves of our marriage.
22:18Why the hell did he have to sniff me?
22:20He likes your cologne.
22:22Bullshit!
22:23I demand an explanation.
22:25I've already told you.
22:27We are getting married.
22:29You don't have to know everything.
22:30You just have to play your part.
22:32Understand?
22:34Okay, so...
22:35What's now?
22:37Well...
22:38Like I told you...
22:39You move in...
22:40And then...
22:41You'll get rewarded.
22:43Okay, then...
22:44I'll go get my stuff.
22:46No...
22:47There's no need for that.
22:48How?
22:49My men will go get it for them.
22:51How do they know where I live?
22:54Fortunately...
22:55We already know everything about you.
22:57So...
22:58Just stay here...
23:00And look pretty.
23:02If you're not allowed to leave...
23:03It's not safe you outside anyway.
23:05Excuse me, but...
23:06I still have a job to attend to in the office.
23:09Heh...
23:10About that...
23:11You're fired.
23:13But you'll be getting paid more.
23:17What an asshole!
23:18That bastard.
23:24How did he pull it off?
23:27How did father not sense that she was human?
23:30Her scent reaped this house.
23:33Maybe he gave her vampires blood.
23:36Of a rival clan.
23:38You know how brutal he can be.
23:40But how did he make her take it?
23:42Maybe she's just as bad as he is.
23:44No.
23:46She's innocent.
23:48I can see it in her eyes.
23:51She has no idea what's going on.
23:55He's using her and manipulating her just like he does everyone else.
23:59How long do you think that he can take this on for?
24:02I don't know.
24:04But we cannot let his plan mature.
24:06It's okay.
24:08You deserve the place where your father once took.
24:14You were the one who actually helped when he was gone.
24:19We'll help.
24:21And I'll help you out.
24:23Like I always do.
24:24Dear son, I write this letter to you with a heavy heart.
24:36Your mother has passed and she's taken part of me with her.
24:40It is a contract which must be completed.
24:43Soon I may be joining her.
24:46This raises the question of who will continue our legacy and take over the family business.
24:50I have heard all the troubles you have caused in the other clans.
24:56I must express my disappointment.
24:59This was not how you were raised.
25:02To show you I have atoned for your sins.
25:05You are to return home.
25:07Start a family.
25:09Before I can ever consider you for this position.
25:12Take care.
25:14With love.
25:15Your father.
25:16I just got myself in some damn shit.
25:31What are you doing?
25:34What do you mean?
25:37Why are you topless?
25:38Getting ready for bed.
25:41Excuse me.
25:43You're not sleeping here.
25:44Go on the couch.
25:47Come on, Rosie.
25:49We're supposed to be a couple.
25:51Gonna get married soon even if it is just a contract.
25:56There's no need to be like this.
25:58I don't care about the contract.
26:00You're not sleeping here.
26:06Fine.
26:08As you wish, your highness.
26:11Find us.

26:37Good natures.
27:02What's this?
27:04Breakfast in bed.
27:06I thought you'd appreciate it.
27:10You made this for me?
27:14No. The servants did.
27:17Oh.
27:22Listen.
27:25I'm not sure I want to keep going with this arrangement.
27:30I think that you should keep those thoughts to yourself, Rosie.
27:34It's not just about you anymore. We've long surpassed that level.
27:40You're in it now, and there's no going back.
27:45Check your bank account.
27:46That should make things clear. There's more to come. Just play your part, and I'll see you tonight.
28:02Bye.
28:14Hi. I'm Rosie. I saw you the other day. I was wondering if we could talk.
28:19Of course, Rosie. What's on your mind?
28:24So, I'm kind of feeling out of place in this new world, and I was wondering if we could maybe be friends?
28:32Friends? Sure, we can be friends.
28:36But remember, Rosie, this family has certain expectations.
28:42And it would be a shame if you couldn't meet those expectations.
28:47Well, enjoy your new home, Rosie.
28:51Rosie.
29:22What's this?
29:31What is it?
29:42Vampires?
29:44That's way above my payroll.
30:14Rosie?
30:16What's wrong?
30:18You look like you've seen a ghost.
30:20No, nothing.
30:22I just saw a spider in the library.
30:26A spider?
30:30You're not afraid of a little spider, are you?
30:33No, it just startled me.
30:37Well, if you ever need someone to chase the spider away,
30:41you know where to find me.
