00:00I've got three ground rules.
00:02Okay, I'm listening.
00:03Number one, you spend your own money.
00:07I don't want anyone thinking that I'm a gold digger.
00:09Okay, I can do that.
00:10Second, boundaries.
00:12We give each other space.
00:15Mutual respect.
00:16Minimal meddling.
00:18And third?
00:23My son never had a mother.
00:25We're married.
00:26I want you to treat him like your own.
00:28Help!
00:29Help me!
00:31Help me, please!
00:36Let the lady go.
00:47Shut up, janitor.
00:49You stick to your chores.
00:51I take it you never heard a snake guy sledge.
00:54Does that name mean anything to you?
00:56I never cared much for childish names.
00:58Why don't we make this easy?
01:00And let the lady go.
01:01Who the hell do you think you are?
01:03Break his legs.
01:04Both of them.
01:05They're leaving bleeding in the parking garage.
01:10Come on, sweetheart.
01:12We've got plans.
01:12It's pretty nice for...
01:21What the hell are you?
01:34What the hell are you?
01:38I don't know.
01:40No, I don't think I'm going to be...
01:44I don't know.
01:58You okay?
02:00Don't worry.
02:00I'll get you the safety
02:07You're dead you hear me dead the hell you idiots waiting for kill
02:13Wait, it's the president of Death of the Crown Holies. What the hell is she doing here?
02:37Don Moretti, you're needed. Don Moretti?
02:41Don Moretti?
02:43Holy fuck!
02:45I am fucked!
02:47How many times have I told you not to bother me? Unless someone is dying or we're going bankrupt. So what is it?
02:53The board has convened. They're requesting you chair the meeting.
02:57The board can't handle himself?
02:59Tell him to wait till morning. I've got plans with my son.
03:03I'm sorry sir. I don't think this one can wait.
03:07Who's she?
03:09It's a long story.
03:11Just get her home safe.
03:13And, uh, what do you want me to do with them?
03:27Hmm.
03:29Idiots? Put the damn knives away. We're in public. People are gonna get hurt.
03:33This was a total misunderstanding.
03:37Mr. Don Moretti, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
03:41You can call me Richie.
03:43Richie?
03:45What happened to tough guy snake-eyed sledge?
03:49I stand before you but a worm.
03:53I'm unworthy of your attention.
03:55This was a misunderstanding.
03:57It was a mistake.
03:59If you ever slither near a woman like that again,
04:03I will skin you alive and make a nice wallet for myself.
04:09Now get out of my sight!
04:11What the hell was that?
04:25Dad?
04:27Babe, what are you looking at?
04:29Uh, nothing.
04:31Anything else. Bye, baby.
04:33Bye, seed?
04:35Yeah, I'll see you.
04:41Before the meeting, the annual report for Desert Crown Police.
04:45Hey, huh?
04:59Hey, were you just outside of the Desert Crown?
05:01Thought I just saw you.
05:03Oh, you must be tired, kiddo.
05:05I'm running errands across town.
05:07Don't stay out too late, okay?
05:09Yeah, okay, Dad.
05:11I'm just dropping Vanessa off.
05:13Oh, and by the way, I signed you up for a dating website.
05:17You've got a blind date tomorrow.
05:19What? A blind date?
05:21A blind date?
05:23The kid's lost his mind.
05:25His heart's in the right place, I'm sure.
05:27His heart, maybe.
05:29But his brain is completely set to airplane mother.
05:33How long you planning on hiding your identity from him?
05:39I promised his mother I'd look after him.
05:41Keep him grounded.
05:43Raise him right.
05:45But I'm worried he's too good-hearted.
05:47He always sees the best in people,
05:49but never the bad.
05:51He's a long way from taking over for me.
05:55Hmm.
05:56You'd really move mountains for him, wouldn't you?
06:06What's that?
06:07The heart of the ocean.
06:08Hear your date tomorrow.
06:10You know, diamonds tend to go over well with the lady.
06:14Don't remind me.
06:23So you're Fear of Spring.
06:28Minus the filter and professional lightings.
06:31Look, I'm not here to waste time.
06:34If you want to marry me, you better have a six-figure income.
06:39I'm sorry.
06:41Go on.
06:42My son's getting married.
06:43So.
06:44He's going to need a home.
06:45Um.
06:46And also a car.
06:48Um.
06:49Something European.
06:50Like a Mercedes.
06:51Or a Porsche.
06:53Oh.
06:54And.
06:55I'm going to need a monthly allowance.
06:57Hmm.
06:58You know, for like hair, Botox, nails, designer bags.
07:02Hmm.
07:03Yeah.
07:04I'm thinking 10 grand a month.
07:05Should probably come in.
07:07I'm sorry.
07:08But do you see walking ATM tattooed on my forehead?
07:13ATM?
07:15Ugh.
07:16What I'm giving you is practically a clearance sale.
07:22Don't worry.
07:23I'll get you to see.
07:27Oh my God.
07:29It's him.
07:31Miss Springs.
07:32Hmm?
07:33Can I ask you something?
07:35What exactly are you going to bring to this relationship?
07:39Me?
07:41Well, I'm a housewife.
07:44But.
07:45My son is in development at Meridian Ventures.
07:48The biggest company in Nevada.
07:51So if you marry me.
07:53You can ride his coattails straight to retirement.
07:56Speaking of.
07:58What do you do for a living?
08:00Oh, you're going to be very disappointed.
08:03I do the odd job here and there.
08:05Whatever it takes to pay minimum wage.
08:11Minimum wage?
08:13Are you kidding me?
08:15Do you usually do this on dates?
08:16Like waste people's time?
08:19Miss Hart.
08:20We found him.
08:21The man who saved you last night.
08:23Michael Smith.
08:24He's a local.
08:25Would you like me to send him a thank you?
08:27No.
08:28I'll deliver it first.
08:29Come on.
08:30Show a little respect.
08:32Respect is earned with money.
08:36And you're broke.
08:38Everyone.
08:40Take a look at this loser.
08:41Who decides to show up on a date with nothing but the clothes on his back.
08:47Listen lady.
08:48If I'm not who you're looking for, feel free to walk through that door.
08:52But let's not make a scene.
08:54Who would want you?
08:56I mean, you're old.
08:58What woman would ever want you?
09:01I would.
09:02And who the hell are you?
09:06Someone who knows a real man when she sees one.
09:08The date's over.
09:09Yeah.
09:10He's with me now.
09:15You would actually want this penniless old loser?
09:19I mean, you must be truly desperate.
09:22Shut your mouth before I shut it for you.
09:25Oh, so threatening.
09:27You don't scare me.
09:32Oh.
09:34How dare you hit me?
09:36Say another word and I'll do it again.
09:38You have no idea who you're messing with.
09:42My son is very powerful at Meridian Ventures.
09:46You're finished.
09:47Great Ventures.
09:49How interesting.
09:51Yeah.
09:52Tell him I'm waiting.
09:54Oh, okay.
09:58Hugh.
10:00Get in here now.
10:02Your mother is being harassed.
10:08Who the hell dares to put their hands on my mother?
10:12These two, son.
10:14You?
10:15Washed up old man and what?
10:16A bitch with some nerve?
10:20Wait.
10:22You look familiar.
10:24Think about it real hard.
10:26Who am I?
10:33Whatever.
10:34You know what?
10:35Whoever messes with my mom,
10:37well, they pay the price.
10:41Stop.
10:42How dare you threaten the president of Meridian Ventures.
10:49The president?
10:51Yeah, that's right.
10:54Hugh Springs, is it?
10:58Consider this your official and immediate termination.
11:01Take your disgrace of a mother and get out of my sight.
11:04How dare you?
11:06Bye.
11:08Thank you, Claire.
11:10I don't believe we've been properly introduced, though I do owe you my life.
11:14That bit with the poker chips was impressive.
11:15How did you know it was me?
11:16I'm the CEO and president of Meridian Ventures. If I want to find someone, nobody can stop me.
11:31Now it looks like you're missing your date. Do you mind if I fill in?
11:35Well, it wouldn't be a date if I was all alone now, would it?
11:40Indeed.
11:42What possibly makes you interested in me?
11:45I'm just a casino maintenance worker.
11:48I hardly scrape by.
11:50Money doesn't matter.
11:52I have more money than I know what to do with.
11:54But character, that's rare.
11:56That's rare.
11:57I'm older than you.
11:59It's fine. I'm into it.
12:01How about this?
12:03I've got a 20-year-old son.
12:06A perfectly made family just waiting for the right woman to walk in?
12:11It's perfect.
12:13Anything else?
12:15I...
12:17I am out of objections.
12:19Great. Let's get going.
12:21Where to?
12:23To get married. We're in Vegas.
12:25Okay, let me just catch my breath.
12:33If we do this, I've got three ground rules.
12:37Okay, I'm listening.
12:39Number one, you spend your own money.
12:42I don't want anyone thinking that I'm a gold digger.
12:45Okay, I can do that.
12:46Second, boundaries.
12:48We give each other space.
12:50Mutual respect.
12:52Minimal meddling.
12:53And third?
12:55My son never had a mother.
13:00We're married.
13:01I want you to treat him like your own.
13:03Deal.
13:04I can do that.
13:05She just wants the love.
13:06Now, before you find any more rules, can we get going?
13:09The love, the love.
13:11She just wants the love.
13:17Things are moving fast.
13:19Speed is a new romance.
13:20All the kids are doing it.
13:21Gotta keep up with the times.
13:23Well, maybe I'm old-fashioned, but...
13:25At least it's legally binding.
13:28You've got a good sense of humor, too.
13:30Oh, I'm full of surprises.
13:32Oh, that reminds me.
13:38I got you a little something.
13:40For me?
13:41We don't have something like this already.
13:46Oh, my God.
13:47That's...
13:48That's beautiful.
13:50Do you mind if I...
13:51Yeah.
13:52Okay.
14:03How do I look?
14:05You make it look more beautiful than...
14:08It ever was.
14:09Okay, Romeo.
14:10I've got some meetings to catch, but...
14:12See you later, okay?
14:23Sir, she's gone.
14:26You can close your mouth now.
14:29Oh, cut me some slack.
14:31Sophia, do you think she really knows who I am?
14:35Impossible.
14:36Your identity's buried really deep.
14:38Only a handful of people know the truth.
14:40But why would someone like her want to be with someone like me?
14:43I'm just a maintenance worker.
14:46You did save her life.
14:48Or maybe she sees something in you that the rest of the world doesn't.
14:53Yeah.
15:05Ms. Hart.
15:06I came across a few things about Michael's son.
15:09Erin?
15:10Mm-hmm.
15:11His fiancée works for us.
15:14Vanessa Cole.
15:15She's an intern in administration.
15:16She just started a month ago.
15:18Intern?
15:19All HR.
15:20Have her promoted to director of administration immediately.
15:23But Ms. Hart, she...
15:24She started three weeks ago, and...
15:27She has no experience or qualifications.
15:30She's family now.
15:31My family.
15:32We'll help her.
15:33Mentor her.
15:34She'll go into the room.
15:35Girl.
15:36Shh.
15:45Is that my...
15:47Hello, Tiff.
15:48You made it.
15:49Girl, you booked Desert Crown for your birthday?
15:52My Instagram's about to explode.
15:55Erin must have maxed out every credit card he owns.
15:58Maybe sold a kidney, too.
16:01Anything for my girl.
16:02Thank you, sweetie.
16:03Oh my god, it's Brandon Breen.
16:21Sorry, I'm late.
16:23We couldn't have booked this lounge without you.
16:26You know, money doesn't go all the way.
16:29Say thank you.
16:31Thanks, Brandon.
16:33Don't thank me.
16:34Thank the family name.
16:37Oh, and my father is actually gonna swing by later,
16:40so don't get all weird about it, you know.
16:42He hates ass kissers.
16:44Or suckers.
16:46I'll thank him personally.
16:50Brandon's got it all.
16:51Connections.
16:52Talent.
16:53Look.
16:54And he's the youngest manager at Meridian Ventures.
16:56Like, how?
16:58Well, I can tell you a story.
17:00These quarterly numbers are looking solid.
17:02I am happy with your contribution.
17:04Thank you, sir.
17:06Dad.
17:07One more thing.
17:08I want to expand our charitable foundation.
17:10Starting next quarter, dedicating 5% annually.
17:13Dad?
17:15Erin, your dad is here?
17:17Wait, that's your dad?
17:19What's he do exactly?
17:26Ladies and gentlemen, the valet parking is just around the corner.
17:29I can show you-
17:30No, we'll find our own way.
17:35Dad, what are you doing here?
17:38Just picking up some temp work.
17:40They needed a few extra hands for a convention.
17:43200 bucks a day?
17:44Cash?
17:52Hey, Vanessa.
17:53Happy birthday, sweetheart.
17:55Thanks.
17:57200 bucks a day.
17:59Jesus!
18:00So, what are your kids doing here?
18:07It's Vanessa's birthday.
18:09We're celebrating.
18:11In this place?
18:12Seems a bit expensive.
18:14Dad.
18:15It's fine.
18:16Really.
18:17Okay, I'll just let you guys go.
18:19See you later.
18:20Hold up, valet boy.
18:26Park my car.
18:32Are you talking to me?
18:34Yeah, you.
18:36And be careful with it.
18:37Okay, you put a scratch on my ride, and I'll have you paying me back with organs.
18:41Brandon, what the hell, man?
18:43That's my dad.
18:44So?
18:45He works here, doesn't he?
18:47Staff, park, cars, that's how it works.
18:54There.
18:55Now it's a paid service.
18:58Do you still feel disrespected?
19:07It's easy money.
19:08Thanks for the tip.
19:12Dad.
19:14Oh, and after you park the car, stop by our private room, okay?
19:18We'll need someone to pour our drinks.
19:20Right, guys?
19:21Absolutely.
19:24That's enough, Brandon.
19:26What's the problem?
19:27I mean, I'm doing your family a favor.
19:28Seems like your family could use a bit of extra money.
19:32Brandon, you fucker.
19:33Easy, son.
19:34It's okay.
19:38My god.
19:39This is crazy.
19:41I'm gonna go to the party.
19:48Aaron, sweetie.
19:50Could you maybe tell your dad not to mention he works here?
19:52I don't want him entering my party with, like, a broom or something.
19:53That would be...
19:54How embarrassing.
19:55Wait up for me!
19:56Cheers.
19:57I know, I'm so excited!
19:58Go for it, son.
19:59Thanks, Dad.
20:00Thanks, Dad.
20:01Hey, it's my shift.
20:07Thank you, everyone for coming.
20:08And thank you to my amazing fiance, Aaron.
20:10He's the reason for this whole party.
20:14Woo!
20:15Woo!
20:16Ha ha!
20:17Woo!
20:18Woo!
20:19Stop it, guys.
20:20Stop.
20:21Anything for you, Vanessa.
20:22Uh-huh.
20:23Uh-huh.
20:24Uh-huh.
20:25Uh-huh.
20:26Uh-huh.
20:27Uh-huh.
20:28Uh-huh.
20:29Uh-huh.
20:30Uh-huh.
20:31Uh-huh.
20:32Uh-huh.
20:33Uh-huh.
20:34Uh-huh.
20:35Uh-huh.
20:36Oh.
20:37Uh-huh.
20:38Uh-huh.
20:39Uh...
20:40Uh-huh.
20:41Uh-huh.
20:42.
20:43Oh, yes.
20:44Oh, yes.
20:45One moment.
20:46Uh-uh.
20:47It's the...
20:48The head of HR.
20:49It's for you.
20:50Oh.
20:51Is everything okay?
20:52Congratulations, Vanessa Cole.
20:53Effective immediately,
20:54You're being promoted to a Director of Administration.
20:56Space salary two million,
20:57plus a corner office.
20:58Dang.
20:59Me?
21:00Me? übers...
21:01That's incredible!
21:02Two million, you've made it.
21:04President Hart must really see something special in you!
21:06Your future's set!
21:08Hell, even I'm jealous!
21:11Meridian Ventures.
21:12That's everyone's problem.
21:14Thank you!
21:17I'm sorry, I need a moment.
21:18It's all so sudden.
21:20Wait, is this for real?
21:22I mean, you just started as an intern, what, three weeks ago?
21:25How can somebody jump straight to director?
21:28What's that supposed to mean, huh?
21:30What, you think she can't do it?
21:32She's not enough?
21:33Sounds like jealousy to me.
21:36No, no, no, no, no, she's my fiancé.
21:37Of course I want her to succeed, but this?
21:40This doesn't make any sense.
21:41What, you don't think I deserve it?
21:42No, Vanessa, that's not-
21:44Don't even talk to me.
21:45Enough of this drama.
21:47Hey, you, over here.
21:50Yes?
21:51You, over here.
21:53Here, boy.
21:54Can't whistle, but just get here, okay.
21:56So, this is champagne.
21:59It's from France.
22:01That's a country across many oceans.
22:03Water.
22:04Have you heard of it?
22:04So, it's very expensive.
22:11But, you know, I'm feeling quite generous, so what I'll do is I'll give you this glass of expensive champagne if you raise a toast to our beautiful friend Vanessa,
22:21and tell everyone just how wrong Aaron is about her.
22:24Brandon, what the hell, dude?
22:26Leave my dad out of this.
22:27Why?
22:27I'm doing him a favor.
22:29I mean, how else would he be able to afford such fine spirits?
22:33Mmm, you want it?
22:34Mmm.
22:35What's the problem, Aaron?
22:36You don't want someone to say something nice about me?
22:38V-Vanessa, how could you say that?
22:40My dad has nothing to do with this.
22:42Leave him out of it.
22:43I just got director.
22:45Is that not a cause for celebration?
22:52Hello?
22:53Michael, where are you?
22:55I'm a bit, uh...
22:58He's busy toasting the birthday girl, Vanessa!
23:02V-Vanessa?
23:04His future daughter-in-law?
23:06No, no, no, sorry.
23:07No, not daughter-in-law.
23:08No, I would never marry into the family, you old hag.
23:11Old hag?
23:16Old hag?
23:18Claire, has the promotion letter been delivered?
23:20It should have arrived.
23:21Great.
23:22Prepare the gifts.
23:23I'm going there myself.
23:25Vanessa, are...
23:27Are you saying you won't marry me?
23:29Uh, yes.
23:30Yes, you heard that right.
23:31We're done, it's over.
23:32B-but-but why?
23:34Excuse me.
23:35Is there a Miss Vanessa Cole here?
23:38Me?
23:39That's me.
23:40Your official promotion letter from your inventions.
23:42Oh, my God.
23:44Congratulations.
23:45Thanks.
23:50Erin, you want to desperately know why?
23:52I'll tell you.
23:53You see this?
23:55I did this on my own.
23:57By myself, President Evelyn Hart.
24:01She saw my achievements.
24:03She saw what I could do.
24:06I went from intern to director in no time at a trillion, trillion dollar company.
24:13What have you accomplished?
24:15Nothing.
24:16What?
24:17So I'm not good enough for you anymore?
24:18Basically.
24:19Dude, face it.
24:20She's moved up.
24:21She's out of your league.
24:22She's on another level.
24:23Whatever you need to understand it.
24:26And after today, Vanessa's headed to the penthouse.
24:29While you'll still be crawling in the gutter.
24:36Five years together, Vanessa.
24:38All erased by some piece of paper.
24:41Okay, listen, listen.
24:42I need just somebody who can stand by me, not bring me down.
24:46Um, think of it like this.
24:47You're a liability.
24:49Yes, not an asset.
24:51Oh, fine.
24:52I get it now.
24:53It's all my fault for just aiming out of my league, huh?
25:00Bold hug, huh?
25:01Let's see what makes them think they can disrespect me and my family.
25:04Son, sometimes it's better to see someone's true colors rather sooner than later.
25:18It's never easy, though.
25:20Yeah, Dad, you're right.
25:21I just, I just hate myself for being so blind, for not seeing who she really was.
25:30There's no need for hate.
25:31All we can do is learn from our mistakes and do better next time.
25:35Lord knows I've made plenty of mistakes.
25:39How do you think the old man got where he is today?
25:43Yeah, Dad, I get it.
25:44Can we just go now?
25:46Yeah.
25:49Whoa, hold on, go.
25:51You think you can leave that easy?
25:53Yes, hold on a minute.
25:54I mean, what's the rush?
25:55What else could you possibly want from us?
25:58An apology?
25:59You embarrass me in front of everyone.
26:02You question my promotion in front of everyone.
26:06Why don't we just step back and cool off a bit?
26:11Cool off?
26:13Dad.
26:14Cool off.
26:16I'm gonna make this very simple for you.
26:19You leave when I say so.
26:21When Vanessa gives you an order, you follow it.
26:28Unless you want me to break your legs.
26:31Why don't you calm down before you do something you'll regret?
26:35Regret?
26:37Nice.
26:38Dad, let me handle this.
26:44Vanessa?
26:47Director Vanessa?
26:48There you go.
26:50I'm sorry.
26:52I shouldn't have questioned you.
26:54You clearly earned this position.
26:56You deserve it.
26:57I did.
26:58And I hope you're happy with your new life.
26:59Yay-o.
27:09I got it, Dad.
27:14We're in this together, son.
27:15Daddy didn't raise no fool, wouldn't let her date a boy till he taught her how to shoot.
27:23Daddy didn't play no games, wouldn't let her trade her name for a fake I do.
27:29Boy, you better know what you're getting into.
27:36This ain't no shotgun wedding that you're used to.
27:41Can we go now?
27:42What a boy!
27:46Now, here's your reward!
28:01Why don't you take it?
28:02Take it.
28:04Crawl out like the dogs you are!
28:13You've got some nerve.
28:15No!
28:17Crawl like dogs?
28:21You've got some nerve.
28:25You've got some nerve.
