00:00Celine, we are late to our company's 50 million dollar open house.
00:05Is your makeup really more important?
00:07I'm just trying to look good for you, sweetheart.
00:10Spare me.
00:11Our marriage contract ends this month.
00:14You can stop pretending.
00:23I can call a tow truck.
00:31Okay, you see that little grease pit over there?
00:34You're gonna walk over there in your expensive heels and figure it out.
00:41You want my signature on the divorce agreement, right?
00:53Hi.
00:55How fast can you fix my car?
01:00We don't exactly keep those parts laying around.
01:05Maybe my nephew can help us.
01:07Hey, Knox!
01:30What, uh, seems to be the problem on Cory?
01:47She's sitting right out there in that broke-down Mercedes.
01:50Look, I know you've probably never seen a car that nice.
01:54It might be worth even more than this shop.
02:00Well, she lacks a lot of attention.
02:04Are you talking about me? Or the car?
02:07The engine.
02:08The engine.
02:10So you know how to fix it.
02:12Well, that depends.
02:17On what?
02:19If you ask us nicely.
02:25All right.
02:26Please, can you help?
02:29Please, can you help?
02:34Somebody made you walk all the way down here in them heels.
02:36What, you had me waiting so long for some shop boy?
02:52You waited this long just to throw some shade?
02:54Pop the hood.
02:58Pop the hood.
02:59Wait, the hood?
03:03Cross me the damn keys.
03:25She's worth more than your bloodline.
03:28So how long is this gonna take?
03:30Just a couple minutes.
03:33More if you keep talking.
03:35So you got a name?
03:37Knox.
03:39Sure you're not trying to profit off the name of the failed Knoxwood Empire?
03:52Start it.
03:54Oh my gosh, thank you.
04:13How much do we owe you?
04:15Nothing.
04:17Just the chance to work on one of these is enough.
04:21Jackson.
04:25Oh, um.
04:33Selene.
04:37And it's still late.
04:39Let's get the fuck out of here, all right?
04:40That's gotta be the snobbiest couple we've ever had.
04:52Yeah.
04:53Good thing we don't live that billionaire lifestyle no more.
04:57Victor, you've outdone yourself. This listing is magnificent.
05:05Oh, well, I couldn't have done it without my queen. To the woman who made this all so effortless.
05:19Honey, you shouldn't have.
05:21You have motor oil on your shoes.
05:26Is that why you took so long in the shop?
05:32On your knees, begging for a discount?
05:34Maybe my next wife will be more deserving of that necklace.
05:50I tried so hard to make this marriage work.
05:54My family got what it needed from yours.
05:57You?
05:59You're just a receipt.
06:00You're just a receipt.
06:02You're just a receipt.
06:12You're just a little bit.
06:15Oh.
06:16Morning.
06:32What are you doing here?
06:34Working.
06:37You always make house calls?
06:40You always answer the door like that.
06:44Like what?
06:46Selene.
06:50Ah, Knox.
06:52Didn't expect you to show up on time.
06:55Must be your influence.
06:59If you can handle the G-Wagon, I trust you can handle my Lambo, right?
07:04Sure thing, Box.
07:06It's not back by sundown.
07:07I'll hunt you for sport.
07:10Yeah, don't worry about it.
07:11Turn on the GPS for you.
07:13Make it easy.
07:14Have a good morning, Selene.
07:23Already on a first-name basis.
07:25No, we're not.
07:27We're very excited about the North Valley redevelopment, but the zoning is still unclear.
07:37Um, the zoning was going to be grandfathered in from the original paperwork.
07:43Victor was going to-
07:44Selene was going to handle the permitting.
07:46We'd like to empower our women to lead, don't we?
07:55Of course.
07:56But this needs to be sorted out.
07:59Fast.
07:59Well, Selene will head down there right now.
08:03She'll handle this for us.
08:04Don't worry.
08:05I'd be delighted.
08:07I'd be delighted.
08:07Come on.
08:34You ever think about getting air conditioning in here?
08:52You ever think about wearing flats?
08:57Work boots don't sell real estate.
08:59You know, I think it's more than just the shoes making the sale.
09:06We're working a property down the road.
09:09I thought I'd check on the car.
09:14Almost finished.
09:16Go ahead and hang out wherever you like.
09:17There.
09:39Come on.
09:39Let's see.
09:39When I said hang wherever you like, the back office wasn't included.
10:09Sorry, I didn't know.
10:39Look what you did.
11:09The car should be ready in five.
11:31Is he always that quiet?
11:35Only when he likes him.
11:36How long has he worked here for?
11:41Long enough to forget who he once was.
11:44Who was he?
11:46Knoxwood.
11:48Shit, Jake.
11:51Come on.
11:52It hurts, man.
11:53Oh, come on.
11:54Let's go.
11:55I'll drive you.
11:58Shop's closed.
12:02Sweet little Elvis almost fainted.
12:05Me too.
12:06Mrs. Beaumont.
12:12Always nice to see you.
12:15Long morning.
12:17Not just catching up on a few details.
12:20I hate to point it out, but it looks like the catching up got a little bit messy.
12:26She's always been a little, uh, hands-on.
12:32Isn't that right, sweetheart?
12:33We like to be thorough.
12:35Shall we?
12:36Shall we?
12:37Mm-hmm.
12:44You show up late, covered in filth, make me look small in front of her?
12:50Victor, I was working.
12:52Clearly not hard enough to get my signature on the divorce agreement.
12:54I already earned my freedom from you, Victor.
12:56And every cent of what you owe me.
12:59You know what?
12:59Your work is my assistant.
13:02It's an apology to me.
13:04Get my dry cleaning, finish the contracts.
13:08That's if you still want my signature.
13:10Well, she's still in one piece.
13:37And your friend from today?
13:40Stubborn as hell.
13:42He'll survive.
13:47You doing okay?
13:49I just had a long day.
13:52Seems you've been having quite a few of those in a row.
13:56You always carry it this well?
13:59You get used to it.
14:07Well, you know, I'll try not to break this one, all right?
14:18New promises.
14:20Well, I guess I'll be seeing you again.
14:22What are you doing?
14:42Laying out like some trophy and not doing the work I gave you?
14:46I finished it three hours ago.
14:47It's on your desk.
14:48Well then, get my dry cleaning for tonight.
14:50You've got a date with a Winston heiress.
14:53That wasn't on your calendar?
14:55Well, that's not business.
14:57It's pleasure.
14:58Their family owns half the city,
15:00and it would do well for the Beaumont name
15:02if I marry her next.
15:05You're already courting your next wife.
15:08Why not just end our contract if that's the case?
15:10Because legally, you're still mine.
15:13I was hoping you would see me, Victor.
15:16Not just as your name.
15:18Not just for our deal.
15:22That must be our little shop boy
15:24ready to tune up the Mercedes for tonight's impression.
15:27Ha, ha, ha.
15:37There he is.
15:44All right.
15:45And you will bring it back here tonight, yeah?
15:49You got plans with it?
15:51Dinner with a beautiful woman.
15:54Taking the missus out.
15:55Please, a real woman.
15:59One worthy of my company.
16:01You would disrespect a good woman like that.
16:05What'd you say?
16:13I said,
16:14you need to treat Selene
16:16with more respect.
16:20Women like that
16:21aren't loved.
16:22They're least.
16:23Focus on the car.
16:28Not my wife.
16:40God damn it!
16:42The Winstons are bringing another suitor to dinner
16:45after everything I laid out for them.
16:47I guess she found out who she was being sold off to.
16:49What, you're still clinging on to your payout
16:53from our marriage contract?
16:55I earned it, Victor.
16:56Every cent.
16:58I gave up my life to buy time for my father.
17:00You knew that when you offered me this arrangement.
17:03You will get your shares when I say
17:05that's what we agreed on.
17:07I signed up to save my father's life.
17:10And because I thought maybe
17:11I could build something real
17:14in the process.
17:16And now he's dead.
17:18And you will never find love.
17:24Where the hell is Knox with my car?
17:28Go get it.
17:29If it's not out in my driveway in ten minutes
17:32you'll never see that payout
17:34that you earned.
17:35I didn't think I'd be back here again.
18:05I didn't think you'd come here alone.
18:15I figured you could
18:16use a break from all the noise.
18:33Do you work on all your client's cars?
18:35Fruitless.
18:39Maybe just the one showing up here
18:41in heels and lipstick.
18:49You're not here for the car.
18:56What if I am?
18:57I'd be disappointed.
19:02I'd be disappointed.
19:02Tell me.
19:02No.
19:03I'm not here for the car.
19:19I'm not here for the car.
19:20I'm not here for the car.
20:54But our marriage, it was never even real.
20:58It was just another business deal.
21:03My father couldn't run our family business after he got sick.
21:14And we didn't have enough money for his treatments anymore.
21:21So I entered a marriage contract.
21:26Giving away my name, my father's business, and my freedom.
21:35You gave up everything for someone you love.
21:44That ain't weakness, Selene.
21:53That's strength most people don't know about.
21:56Let him wait.
22:17That's why it's busy.
22:21You really cost me.
22:47They couldn't rush the service for us.
22:53The Winston girl chose another suitor.
22:55They drove off together in his Aventador.
22:58I don't even have an Aventador.
23:01I'm sorry.
23:02You just lost half your payout.
23:06I gave up more than you could ever pay me.
23:13We'll just have to earn it back.
23:14Selene, I've been meeting for the tech merger in two minutes.
23:28Don't bother me unless someone is dead.
23:39You again.
23:40Thought you could use something cold.
24:02You know, I could get used to this kind of service.
24:04So, how do you know an engine is happy?
24:16Happy?
24:17Yeah, like running, right?
24:20Where you don't even have to block.
24:22You just know.
24:23Well, it's got a certain rhythm to it.
24:31You know, the way it breathes.
24:35You just feel it.
24:38You ever felt anything like that?
24:48Yeah.
24:56Go upstairs.
25:01Why?
25:02Because that's where I'm going to show you.
25:07Okay.
25:07I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to show you what I'm going to
25:37Selene, if you're nervous, I mean, we don't have to.
25:53No, I don't want you to stop.
26:07Does he ever touch you like this?
26:29Lie back.
26:37I don't want you to stop.
27:07Yes, Jeffrey, I know it's all part of our agreement.
27:37I don't want you to start.
27:42I don't want you to start.
27:52I'm sorry.
28:22Bitch, shut the fuck up.
28:37What?
28:38Sorry, Jeffrey. It's nothing. I'll call you back.
28:50Look into Jackson Knox.
28:53I don't think I know his full story.
29:01Oops.
29:02This is back.
29:04Here?
29:04I like having you around the shop.
29:32So you're hiring.
29:37I mean, you look like the boss to me.
29:40Maybe I'll start giving out orders.
29:43Merci.
29:43Merci.
29:43Merci.
29:43Merci.
29:43Merci.
30:21You know how good I've been to her?
30:34How could she do this to me?
30:37I don't know, sir.
30:39If he truly is a lost heir of the Knoxwood Empire, we're gonna have to get ahead of this.
30:45Wait, wait. One last thing.
30:48Frame these.
30:51Ah, good morning, darling.
30:59You're up early.
31:00Hey, you know what I was thinking? You know the North Valley Redevelopment, right?
31:05Well, the land under Knox Auto. Thinking of adding that to the acquisition list.
31:10I'll make sure that's noted.
31:14Hey, let's have dinner tonight. Just us. Let me cook for you.
31:19That's the least I can do for such a good wife.
31:22So, your husband wants to buy this dump?
31:40He thinks it's charming. That usually means demolition is next.
31:46He sure's got a nasty habit of trying to own things he shouldn't.
31:50I was one of them. Just another piece of the Beaumont collection.
31:57Beaumont?
31:57It's not a name I'm trying to keep.
32:12So, you're telling me your last name is Beaumont?
32:14Why does that matter?
32:21Victor Beaumont.
32:24Yes. His father built their company.
32:28No.
32:30He took it.
32:31From mine.
32:32That family didn't acquire us.
32:45They gutted us.
32:48And then they buried the story.
32:50So, Knoxwood is your real name?
32:52It was.
32:53Before everything was stolen.
32:55Mavali tried to do business with them.
32:58But they set him up.
32:59Stole his patents.
33:03All our assets.
33:06And my father, he...
33:08He couldn't live.
33:11With the shame.
33:14I'm so sorry, Jackson.
33:22I'm done.
33:24Hiding in this garage.
33:26We're taking things back.
33:28And I'm going to protect you.
33:31I have to go back tonight.
33:33If I don't, he'll get suspicious of us.
33:36Then be careful.
33:39Haley.
33:49There she is.
33:50Perfect timing.
33:52So, you did cook.
33:54Of course.
33:55You deserve to be spoiled.
33:58Go on.
33:59Sit.
34:05So, how was your day?
34:09I just ran some errands.
34:13Like what I've done with the place.
34:15What?
34:16Look around.
34:17You've worked up quite the appetite.
34:27Eat.
34:31You had someone follow me?
34:33You're sick.
34:34I had to keep tabs on our little shop boy.
34:38Just didn't expect to see him with my wife.
34:40You never wanted me as your wife.
34:42You just wanted something to own.
34:44I tried.
34:45I tried my hardest with you.
34:46You pushed me away.
34:48You know what?
34:49I'm done pushing.
34:51Contract's over.
34:52What are you talking about?
34:53Let my lawyer tear it up.
34:55No more divorce.
34:57No more payouts.
34:59Just marriage.
35:01Till death do us part, darling.
35:02After everything I gave you.
35:04Everything I sacrificed.
35:06You can't do this.
35:08You're evil.
35:10Look at this.
35:13$12,000 a bottle.
35:16Same year Jackson Sother died.
35:21I think...
35:23we should toast to his legacy.
35:28Cheers, darling.
35:32Oh, my God!
35:33Victor!
35:37Victor!
35:50Celine.
35:53What did he do to you?
35:56He told me I was his.
35:59Forever.
36:02Come on.
36:02Sorry if my clothes are
36:12a little big on you.
36:15Finally looks like
36:16I work at the shop.
36:19I told you.
36:20You look like the boss.
36:23It doesn't really feel like that
36:25after what happened tonight.
36:26It doesn't really feel like that.
36:32It's me.
36:40Nobody.
36:42It's gonna hurt you like that again.
36:47I'll make sure of it.
36:51I care about you.
36:53Celine.
36:53I want you in my life.
38:28Good morning. I'd like to talk to the owner.
38:42He wants a scene. It's a power game.
38:54Then let him see who he's playing with.
38:59Wow. Your place is really running on fumes, Raymond.
39:03Are you looking for a mechanic or just to rattle some cages?
39:08Depends who's in the cage.
39:10Something I can help you with?
39:14Knox.
39:14Wow. I thought I'd have to send a tow truck to come get you.
39:20Nah. We don't break down as easy as your cars.
39:25Tough talk for the man whose roof I'm about to own.
39:29So what's all this chest-puffing bravado really about, huh?
39:32I think you know.
39:34Oh, yeah?
39:36What do you tell me?
39:43You abused her.
39:46Wow.
39:47Jackson Knoxwood.
39:48All grown up.
39:50Daddy's lost boy here to save the town slut.
39:55I could snap your frame in half.
39:59No lift.
40:00No tools.
40:02Just me.
40:03I'm going to turn this shithole into a parking lot.
40:09And I'm going to finish what my father started.
40:13You ain't built for this, right?
40:23Fuck this.
40:28Jackson, I don't feel so good.
40:32Uncle Ray.
40:33Uncle Ray.
40:38Is he okay?
40:40Uncle Ray, hey, hey, hey, stay with me.
40:44You always were dramatic, boy.
40:47Don't scare me like that, old man.
40:49Come on.
40:50Raymond, you should really rest.
40:53It's not my heart.
40:56It's the shop.
40:58This place is the last piece of our name.
41:00And that bastard's going to wipe it out of existence.
41:04No.
41:05He won't.
41:07We fight for her name.
41:10It's what they took from us.
41:14And for her.
41:15She's not his to own.
41:22Let's take the Beaumont Empire down.
41:23Tonight matters.
41:37The mayor's here.
41:39Investors.
41:40Our future are together.
41:41I know.
41:43Then pretend like you still love me.
41:45Be proud to wear your name.
41:47Tonight, you'll get the perfect show.
41:48And tonight, we are happy to announce the Beaumont Holdings' newest acquisition.
41:56The North Valley Corridor.
41:59None of which could have been done without the help of my darling wife, Celine.
42:04Thank you, baby, for always standing by my side.
42:07You're right, Victor.
42:10I have stood by your side.
42:13Through the lies, humiliation, and the threats.
42:17But I'm done performing.
42:18If legacy is what matters to you, then tonight, let's rewrite one.
42:25Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Jackson Knoxwood.
42:29The lost heir to the Knoxwood Empire.
42:37The Beaumont family tried to bury my name.
43:00I ain't here to beg for your respect.
43:04I'm here to reclaim what was stolen.
43:07What?
43:10This is pathetic.
43:11You think you can just put on a suit and everyone's going to believe you?
43:14I don't need them to believe me.
43:17I just need them to remember me.
43:20And they will.
43:26You are beneath me.
43:28You don't belong in this room.
43:30You're nothing but a filthy rat.
43:37Jackson, is it true?
43:51Will you be reviving the Knoxwood Industries?
43:54We're just getting started.
43:56We're just getting started.
43:56We're just getting started.
44:07This wasn't a murder.
44:14It was a robbery.
44:16Reading a bedtime story.
44:19That's my favorite chapter.
44:21It's all here.
44:23Your family stole everything.
44:25Get out of my house.
44:30Get out of my house.
44:30What's this?
44:56What's this?
44:56Jack's.
45:18Dick you're reading this.
45:20It means I wasn't strong enough to win back what they stole.
45:26But maybe you can be.
45:28I wish I could see the man you've become.
45:32I know you still have your mother's heart.
45:36Just remember one thing for me.
45:40You're at Knoxwood.
45:43You're the last one left.
45:46But maybe that makes you the strongest of us all.
45:49We'll love you, kid.
45:50We'll love you, kid.
45:52Everett.
45:55You left me a goodbye.
46:00When I wasn't even old enough to understand it.
46:07He built Knoxwood from nothing.
46:11When he partnered with the Beaumonts.
46:12They didn't just steal his patents.
46:17They stole the life from him.
46:19I remember coming home from school.
46:22They said he had a stroke.
46:26But he left a note.
46:29Next to a design.
46:30On his desk.
46:33And he said.
46:41He said he can't.
46:43Watch his legacy die.
46:46While he still had breath in him.
46:49Jax, he built something lasting.
46:52And you.
46:54You're already doing what he asked.
46:57Even if you didn't see it until now.
46:59I hated myself.
47:00For not living up to his legacy.
47:06For not knowing his pain.
47:09And I've been hiding here in this garage like he's all I was good for.
47:14You're not hiding.
47:16You're healing.
47:18And fighting back.
47:20I'm making sure they don't bury another name again.
47:26Not mine.
47:28Not yours.
47:30We'll talk on the record.
47:41Everything.
47:42We have everything that we need to expose him.
47:47I'll send the documents over.
47:48Sounded, uh, serious.
47:54Reporter from the Herald.
47:56She wants to break the story for us.
47:58Laying out everything Victor has done.
48:01You really don't scare easy, do you?
48:04Yeah.
48:04We have orders from Mr. Beaumont to gut this place by noon.
48:20This is private property.
48:21Y'all are trespassing.
48:23Not anymore, pretty boy.
48:24Anyone else want a piece of Knox Auto?
48:30Huh?
48:32All right, stop.
48:39All right, stop.
48:41If you touch one more inch of this shop, I will have you all arrested for criminal trespassing.
48:47Look, we're just following orders, lady.
48:48Well, then you can follow them back up that hill.
48:50If you want this shop, you provide the proper documents so that you can acquire it.
48:55Otherwise, get lost.
48:58We'll be back.
48:59Are you hurt?
49:04Not as much as him.
49:10Victor's getting desperate.
49:14Keep him on his heels.
49:23She said she'd be here by five.
49:25I think she got cold feet.
49:26Or got bought.
49:34Look, if she doesn't show, we go public ourselves.
49:38That's not how this works.
49:40If we move too early, he'll spin it.
49:42Make us look like nobodies.
49:45We ain't nobodies anymore.
49:56Hope you weren't waiting on your little reporter.
50:13She's not coming.
50:15You paid her off.
50:16Well, I simply offered her the truth.
50:19Run the story.
50:20She'll never work again.
50:23Own your little, uh, defense of the shop who's cute.
50:28But my men won't be held back forever.
50:30You ain't touching the shop, Victor.
50:32No matter how many men you bring with you.
50:36Darling, you've had your fun.
50:39Now come home.
50:40With me.
50:41I'm not yours to own.
50:43Come back with me now.
50:44Or I'll bring you back myself.
50:47I don't think I'll threaten her anymore.
50:50I'm just getting started.
50:51We go public.
50:58Tomorrow.
51:02Mr. Beumont, are you playing your husband's minutes for a crime?
51:06Mr. Knox, what truth do you have of the stolen legacy?
51:12For years, Victor Beaumont has paraded himself as a visionary.
51:17But in reality, he's just a tyrant.
51:19Who built his empire on stolen ground.
51:22Ground that once belonged to my family.
51:25Now the Knoxwood name used to mean something.
51:28My father built it with his hands.
51:30With his mind.
51:33Everything he had.
51:35In this folder.
51:37You can see.
51:47Ooh!
51:49I just want her home safe.
52:13And whoever has her, please, just talk to me.
52:19Face to face.
52:27I'm waiting.
52:32Well, that was a shitty award speech.
52:35He wants me to go to him.
52:37It's a trap.
52:40So what are you going to do?
52:44Go anyway.
52:46Want to come?
52:48I'm about as useful as the screen door on a submarine.
52:52You know what to do.
52:53What's that?
52:54Give that boy a country ass whipping.
52:57Finally, some peace.
53:14You were always so loud with your little dreams.
53:19Now you're as quiet as a prayer.
53:20But I do miss the sound of your voice.
53:31Come on, sweetheart.
53:33Say something.
53:34Why the hell are we guarding a dinner party?
53:42Stop complaining.
53:43Boss, there's no one in the room.
53:44Yeah, I'm not on the guest list.
54:02I hate you.
54:09I think it's time you eat.
54:11We have to rebuild trust, right?
54:16Ah, ah, ah.
54:18Not so fast.
54:20Selene, we were doing so well.
54:22I will never love you.
54:24But you'll never leave me, either.
54:31To us.
54:42Dinner's over.
54:50The mechanic.
54:54Why'd you break in here with a wrench?
54:55Back away from her.
54:58You're too late, Knox.
54:59She chose me.
55:00He's lying.
55:02I know, sonny.
55:03Just hold tight.
55:04I'm going to kill this piece of trash.
55:07Like my father killed his.
55:21Jackson?
55:22Are you okay?
55:24Never better.
55:43Now that's a country ass whooping.
55:45I thought I'd lost you.
55:52You'll never lose me.
55:55We're getting you out of this place.
55:57For good.
55:57In the stunning aftermath of the Beaumont scandal, former mogul Victor Beaumont has been formally charged with conspiracy, abduction and corporate fraud.
56:21It would appear that the long-buried Knoxwood family conspiracy has been exposed, and the rightful heir, Jackson Knoxwood, is ready to revitalize the fallen empire.
56:29Well, I'll be.
56:30Well, if it isn't the first lady of Knox Auto.
56:40Don't start with me, Ray.
56:44I'm here to work.
56:45I've got rebrand consultants and merger meetings lined up for Knoxwood Industries.
56:54Where's our CEO?
56:56Where he always is.
56:57So, this is where the CEO hides all day.
57:01so this is where the CEO hides all day
57:15I wasn't hiding I was waiting for what my favorite distraction
57:31I can't distract you for too long
