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