00:00Greetings, Dawn Moretti.
00:02Dawn, your husband is the Dawn of Desert Crown Holdings?
00:05Michael, are you really?
00:07Hey, I know what's your name on.
00:10Let me go.
00:11Not a chance, Greg. The cake is hot. I got the cake.
00:15Help! Help me! Help me, please!
00:20Let the lady go.
00:30Shut up, janitor. You stick to your chores.
00:33I take it you've never heard of Snake Eyes Sledge.
00:36Does that name mean anything to you?
00:38I never cared much for childish names.
00:40Let me make this easy and let the lady go.
00:43Who the hell do you think you are?
00:44Breaking Sleks. Both of them.
00:46They're leaving bleeding in the parking garage.
00:51Come on, sweetheart. We got blames.
00:53We got blames.
00:59It's pretty nice for...
01:00Who are you?
01:14Who the hell are you?
01:19Club battle.
01:23You okay?
01:35Don't worry. I'll get you the safety.
01:43You're dead! You hear me? Dead!
01:46What the hell are you idiots waiting for? Kill them!
01:53Wait!
01:54It's the president of Death of the Crown Holdings.
01:55What the hell is she doing here?
01:56Don Moretti. You're needed.
01:57Don Moretti?
01:58Holy fuck!
01:59I am...
02:00How many times have I told you not to bother me?
02:02Unless someone is dying or we're going bankrupt?
02:03I am...
02:04How many times have I told you not to bother me?
02:06Unless someone is dying or we're going bankrupt?
02:07So what is it?
02:08The board has convened. They're requesting you chair the meeting.
02:10The board can't handle itself?
02:11Tell him to wait till morning. I've got plans with my son.
02:13I'm sorry, sir. I don't think this one can wait.
02:14I don't think this one can wait.
02:15I'm sorry, sir. I don't think this one can wait.
02:16I don't think we can wait.
02:17It's all right.
02:18Don Moretti.
02:19Oh, no.
02:20Don Moretti.
02:21I don't think we can wait.
02:22Don Moretti.
02:23You're needed.
02:24Don Moretti?
02:25Holy fuck!
02:26How many times have I told you not to bother me?
02:27The boy can't handle himself? Tell him to wait till morning. I've got plans with my son.
02:32I'm sorry, sir. I don't think this one can wait.
02:36Who's she?
02:38It's a long story. Just get her home safe.
02:52And, uh, what do you want me to do with them?
02:56Idiots? The damn knocks away. We're in public. People are gonna get hurt.
03:02This was a total misunderstanding. Mr. Don Moretti, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. You can call me Richie.
03:10Richie? What happened to tough guy, snake-eyed sledge?
03:16I stand before you, but a worm. Unworthy of your intention.
03:20This was a misunderstanding. It was a mistake.
03:24If you ever slither near a woman like that again, I will skin you alive and make a nice wallet for myself.
03:33Now get out of my sight!
03:35What the hell was that?
03:48Dad?
03:50Babe, what are you looking at?
03:52Uh, nothing. That means, my baby.
03:55My... seed?
03:56Yeah, I'll see you.
03:57Before the meeting, the annual report for Desert Crown Police.
04:05Hey Aaron?
04:18Hey, were you just outside of the Desert Crown?
04:20Thought I just saw you.
04:22Oh, you must be tired, kiddo.
04:24I'm running arrows across town.
04:26Don't stay out too late, okay?
04:28Yeah.
04:29Okay, Dad.
04:30I'm just dropping Vanessa off.
04:31Oh, and by the way, I signed you up for a dating website.
04:35You've got a blind date tomorrow.
04:36What?
04:37A blind date?
04:38What?
04:39A blind date?
04:41A blind date.
04:42The kid's lost his mind.
04:44His heart's in the right place, I'm sure.
04:46His heart, maybe.
04:47But his brain is...
04:48completely set to airplane mind now.
04:51How long you planning on hiding your identity from him?
04:56I promised his mother I'd look after him.
04:59Keep him grounded.
05:00Raise him right.
05:01Don't worry, he's too good-hearted.
05:03He always sees the best in people, but never the bad.
05:08He's a long way from taking over from me.
05:11You'd really move mountains for him, wouldn't you?
05:14What's that?
05:21The heart of the ocean.
05:23Or your date tomorrow.
05:24No diamonds tend to go over well with a lady.
05:28Don't remind me.
05:37So you're...
05:38You're a spring.
05:41Minus the filter and professional lightings.
05:44Look, I'm not here to waste time.
05:46If you want to marry me, you better have a six-figure income.
05:51Sorry.
05:53Go on.
05:54Yeah, my son's getting married.
05:55So, he's gonna need a home.
05:58And also a car.
06:00Something European.
06:01Like a Mercedes or Porsche.
06:04Oh, and I'm gonna need a monthly allowance.
06:08You know, for like hair, Botox, nails, designer bags.
06:11Hmm.
06:12Yeah.
06:13I'm thinking ten grand a month.
06:14Should probably call their room.
06:16Oh, I'm sorry.
06:18But do you see walking ATM tattooed on my forehead?
06:22ATM?
06:24Ugh.
06:25What I'm giving you is practically a clearance sale.
06:28Don't worry.
06:31I'll get you to see.
06:35Oh, my God.
06:37It's him.
06:38Ms. Springs.
06:39Hmm?
06:40Can I ask you something?
06:41What exactly are you gonna bring to this relationship?
06:45Me?
06:47Well, I'm a housewife.
06:50But, my son is in development at Meridian Ventures.
06:54The biggest company in Nevada.
06:56So, if you marry me, you can ride his coattails straight to retirement.
07:01Speaking of.
07:03What do you do for a living?
07:05Oh, you're gonna be very disappointed.
07:07I do the odd job here and there.
07:10Whatever it takes to pay minimum wage.
07:11Minimum wage?
07:15Minimum wage?
07:16Are you kidding me?
07:18Oh, do you usually do this on dates?
07:19Like, waste people's time?
07:22Ms. Hart.
07:23We found him.
07:24The man who saved you last night.
07:25Michael Smith.
07:26He's a local.
07:27Would you like me to send him a thank you?
07:29No.
07:30Not deliberate in person.
07:31Come on, show a little respect.
07:34Respect is earned with money.
07:37And you're broke!
07:38Everyone, take a look at this loser who decides to show up on a date with nothing but the clothes on his back.
07:48Listen, lady.
07:49If I'm not who you're looking for, feel free to walk through that door.
07:52But let's not make a scene.
07:54Who would want you?
07:55I mean, you're old!
07:58What woman would ever want you?
08:00I would.
08:04And who the hell are you?
08:05Someone who knows a real man when she sees one.
08:07The date's over.
08:08Case with me now.
08:13You would actually want this penniless old loser?
08:16I mean, you must be truly desperate.
08:19Shut your mouth before I shut it for you.
08:22Oh, so threatening.
08:24You don't scare me.
08:29Oh.
08:31How dare you hit me!
08:32Say another word and we'll do it again.
08:35You have no idea who you're messing with.
08:37My son is very powerful at Meridian Ventures.
08:41You're finished.
08:43Meridian Ventures.
08:44How interesting.
08:46Yeah.
08:47Tell him I'm waiting.
08:48Oh, okay.
08:53Hugh!
08:54Get in here now!
08:55Your mother is being harassed!
08:57Who the hell dares to put their hands on my mother?
09:01These two, son!
09:02You?
09:03Some washed up old man and what?
09:04A bitch with some nerve?
09:07Wait.
09:09You look familiar.
09:11Think about it real hard.
09:13Who am I?
09:15Whatever!
09:16You know what?
09:17Whoever messes with me,
09:18I'm going to be a mess.
09:19I'm going to be a mess.
09:20I'm going to be a mess.
09:21I'm going to be a mess.
09:22I'm going to be a mess.
09:23I'm going to be a mess.
09:24I'm going to be a mess.
09:25You know what?
09:26Whoever messes with my mom will hit me in the press!
09:31Stop!
09:34How dare you threaten the president of Meridian Ventures?
09:38How dare you threaten the president of Meridian Ventures?
09:43The president?
09:44Yeah, that's right.
09:46Hugh Springs, is it?
09:48Consider this your official and immediate termination.
09:53Pick your disgrace of a mother and get out of my sight.
10:01How dare you!
10:02Bye!
10:04Thank you, Claire.
10:05I don't believe we've been properly introduced.
10:10Though I do owe you my life.
10:12That bit with the poker chips was impressive.
10:15How did you know it was me?
10:16I'm the CEO and president of Meridian Ventures.
10:18If I want to find someone, nobody can stop me.
10:21Now it looks like you're missing your date.
10:23You meant if I fill in?
10:26Well, it wouldn't be a date if I was all alone now, would it?
10:28Indeed.
10:31What possibly makes you interested in me?
10:34I'm just a casino maintenance worker.
10:36I hardly scrape by.
10:38Money doesn't matter.
10:40I have more money than I know what to do with.
10:42But character.
10:44That's rare.
10:45I'm older than you.
10:47It's fine. I'm into it.
10:48How about this?
10:50I've got a 20-year-old son.
10:53A perfectly made family just waiting for the right woman to walk in?
10:57It's perfect.
10:59Anything else?
11:01I...
11:03I...
11:04Am out of objections.
11:05Great. Let's get going.
11:06Where to?
11:08To get married. We're...
11:10We're in Vegas.
11:11Okay, let me just catch my breath.
11:17If we do this,
11:19I've got three ground rules.
11:21Okay, I'm listening.
11:23Number one,
11:24you spend your own money.
11:25I don't want anyone thinking that I'm a gold digger.
11:27Okay, I can do that.
11:28Second,
11:29boundaries.
11:30We give each other space.
11:32Mutual respect.
11:34Minimal meddling.
11:35And third?
11:40My son never had a mother.
11:42We're married.
11:43I want you to treat him like your own.
11:44Deal.
11:45I can do that.
11:47Now, before you find any more rules, can we get going?
11:49Things are moving fast.
11:50Speed is a new romance.
11:51All the kids are doing it.
11:52Gotta keep up with the times.
11:53Well, maybe I'm old-fashioned, but at least it's legally binding.
11:54You've got a good sense of humor, too.
11:55Oh, I'm full of surprises.
11:56Oh, that reminds me.
11:57I got you a little something.
11:58For me?
11:59I hope you don't have something like this already.
12:00Oh, my God, that's...
12:01That's beautiful.
12:02Would you mind if I...
12:03Yeah.
12:04Can you do that?
12:05And...
12:06Yeah.
12:07I'm...
12:08I'm not sure.
12:09I've got a bit of a confession, but...
12:10Lisa's legally binding.
12:11You've got a good sense of humor, too.
12:12Oh, I'm full of surprises.
12:13Well, that reminds me.
12:16I got you a little something.
12:17For me?
12:18I hope you don't have something like this already.
12:23Oh, my God.
12:24That's...
12:25That's beautiful.
12:26Would you mind if I...
12:27Yeah!
12:29I see...
12:31Okay, how do I look?
12:41You make it look more beautiful than it ever was.
12:44Okay, Romeo.
12:45I've got some meetings to catch, but see you later, okay?
12:59Sir, she's gone.
13:00You can close your mouth now.
13:03Oh, call me some slack.
13:05Sophia, do you think she really knows who I am?
13:08Impossible.
13:09Your identity is buried really deep.
13:11Only a handful of people know the truth.
13:13But why would someone like her want to be with someone like me?
13:16I'm just a maintenance worker.
13:18You did save her life.
13:20Or maybe she sees something in you that the rest of the world doesn't.
13:24Yeah.
13:30Miss Hart.
13:36I came across a few things about Michael's son.
13:39Aaron?
13:40Mm-hmm.
13:41His fiancée works for us.
13:43Vanessa Cole.
13:44She's an intern in administration.
13:45She just started a month ago.
13:47Intern?
13:49Quali Char.
13:49Have her promoted to director of administration immediately.
13:52But Miss Hart, she started three weeks ago, and she has no experience or qualifications.
13:58She's family now.
13:59My family.
14:00We'll help her.
14:01Thank you, her.
14:02She'll go into the role.
14:02Is that Michael?
14:14Hello, Tiff.
14:15You made it.
14:16Girl, you booked Desert Crown for your birthday?
14:19My Instagram's about to explode.
14:21Aaron must have maxed out every credit card he owns.
14:24Maybe sold a kidney, too.
14:26Anything for my girl.
14:27Thank you, sweetie.
14:32Oh, my God.
14:43It's Brandon Breen.
14:45Sorry, I'm late.
14:47We couldn't have booked this lounge without you.
14:49You know, money doesn't go all the way.
14:52See, thank you.
14:54Thanks, Brandon.
14:55Don't thank me.
14:57Thank the family name.
14:59Oh, and my father is actually going to swing by later, so don't get it.
15:02He's going to be all weird about it, you know?
15:04He hates ass kissers or suckers.
15:08I'll thank him personally.
15:11Brandon's got it all.
15:12Connections, talent, look.
15:14And he's the youngest manager at Meridian Ventures.
15:17Like, how?
15:18Well, I can tell you, Stork.
15:20These quarterly numbers are looking solid.
15:22I am happy with your contribution.
15:24Thank you, sir.
15:25Thank you, Dad.
15:26One more thing.
15:27I want to expand our charitable foundation.
15:29Starting next quarter, dedicating 5% annual revenue.
15:32Dad?
15:36Dad?
15:37Aaron, your dad is here?
15:39Wait, that's your dad?
15:41What's he do, exactly?
15:47Ladies and gentlemen, the valet parking is just around the corner.
15:51I can show you...
15:52No, we'll find our own way.
15:56Dad, what are you doing here?
15:58Just picking up some temp work.
16:00They needed a few extra hands for a convention.
16:03200 bucks a day, cash.
16:11Hey, Vanessa.
16:12Happy birthday, sweetheart.
16:14Thanks.
16:15200 bucks a day.
16:17Jesus!
16:21So, what are your kids doing here?
16:25It's Vanessa's birthday.
16:27We're celebrating.
16:28In this place?
16:30Seems a bit expensive.
16:32Dad, it's fine.
16:33Really.
16:34Okay, I'll just let you guys go.
16:36See you later.
16:37Hold up, valet boy.
16:38Okay.
16:38Park my car.
16:48Are you talking to me?
16:49Yeah, you.
16:51And be careful with it.
16:52Okay, you put a scratch on my ride, and I'll have you paying me back with organs.
16:57Brandon, what the hell, man?
16:58That's my dad.
16:59So?
17:00He works here, doesn't he?
17:01It's to have parked cars.
17:03That's how it works.
17:04There.
17:09Now it's a paid service.
17:11Do you still feel disrespected?
17:22It's easy money.
17:24Thanks for the tip.
17:27Dad.
17:29Oh, and after you park the car, stop by our private room, okay?
17:33We'll need someone to pour our drinks.
17:35Right, guys?
17:36Absolutely.
17:38That's enough, Brandon.
17:40What's the problem?
17:41I mean, I'm doing your family a favor.
17:42Seems like your family could use a bit of extra money.
17:45Brandon, you fucker.
17:47Easy, son.
17:47It's okay.
17:51My God.
17:52This is crazy.
17:58I'm gonna go to the party.
18:03Aaron, sweetie.
18:06Could you maybe tell your dad not to mention he works here?
18:08I don't want him entering my party with, like, a broom or something.
18:11How embarrassing.
18:12Wait up for me!
18:18Cheers.
18:18I know, I'm so excited!
18:20Go for it, son.
18:21Thanks, Dad.
18:26Hey, it's my shift.
18:27Thank you, everyone, for coming.
18:32And thank you to my amazing fiancé, Aaron.
18:34He's the reason for this whole party.
18:40Stop it, guys.
18:41Stop.
18:43Anything for you, Vanessa?
18:47Oh, yes.
18:49Yes, one moment.
18:51Ben, it's the head of HR.
18:53It's for you.
18:53Is everything okay?
18:57Congratulations, Vanessa Cole.
18:58Effective immediately, you're being promoted to director of administration.
19:01Base salary, two million, plus a corner office.
19:04Oh, me?
19:05Me, director?
19:06Man, that's incredible.
19:07Two million?
19:08You've made it.
19:09President Hart must really see something special in you.
19:11Your future's set.
19:13Hell, even I'm jealous.
19:15We're really adventurous.
19:17That's everyone's problem.
19:19I'm sorry, um, I need a moment.
19:22It's all so sudden.
19:23Wait, is this for real?
19:25I mean, you just started as an intern, what, three weeks ago?
19:28How can somebody jump straight to director?
19:31What's that supposed to mean, huh?
19:32What, you think she can't do it?
19:35She's not enough?
19:35Sounds like jealousy to me.
19:38No, no, no, no, no.
19:39She's my fiancé.
19:40Of course I want her to succeed.
19:41But this?
19:42This doesn't make any sense.
19:43Oh.
19:44What, you don't think I deserve it?
19:45What, you don't think I deserve it?
19:46No, Vanessa, that's not...
19:47Don't even talk to me.
19:48Enough of this drama.
19:50Hey, you, over here.
19:53Yes.
19:54You, over here.
19:56Here, boy.
19:57Can't whistle, but just get here.
19:58Okay, so, this is champagne.
20:01It's from France.
20:03That's a country across many oceans.
20:05Water, have you heard of it?
20:06So it's very expensive.
20:07But, you know, I'm feeling quite generous, so what I'll do is I'll give you this glass
20:17of expensive champagne if you raise a toast to our beautiful friend, Vanessa, and tell
20:22everyone just how wrong Aaron is about her.
20:24Brandon, what the hell, dude?
20:25Leave my dad out of this.
20:27Why?
20:27I'm doing him a favor.
20:28I mean, how else would he be able to afford such fine spirits?
20:32You want it?
20:34What's the problem, Aaron?
20:35You don't want someone to say something nice about me?
20:37Vanessa, how could you say that?
20:39My dad has nothing to do with this.
20:40Leave him out of it.
20:41I just got director.
20:43Is that not a cause for celebration?
20:45Hello?
20:51Michael, where are you?
20:53I'm a bit, uh...
20:55He's busy toasting the birthday girl, Vanessa!
21:00Vanessa?
21:01His future daughter-in-law?
21:02No, no, no, sorry.
21:03Nope.
21:04Not daughter-in-law.
21:04No, I would never marry into the family, old hag.
21:11Old hag?
21:12Claire, has the promotion letter been delivered?
21:15It should have arrived.
21:16Great.
21:17Prepare the gifts.
21:18I'm going there myself.
21:20Vanessa, are...
21:21Are you saying you won't marry me?
21:23Yes.
21:24Yes, you heard that right.
21:25We're done.
21:25It's over.
21:26But, but, but why?
21:28Excuse me.
21:30Is there a Miss Vanessa Cole here?
21:32Me?
21:32That's me.
21:33Your official promotion letter from your own ventures.
21:35Oh, my God.
21:36Congratulations.
21:37Thanks.
21:42Erin, you want to desperately know why, I'll tell you.
21:45You see this?
21:47I did this on my own.
21:49By myself, President Evelyn Hart.
21:52She saw my achievements.
21:54She saw what I could do.
21:57I went from intern to director in no time at a trillion, trillion dollar company.
22:01What have you accomplished?
22:05Nothing.
22:06Oh, what?
22:06So, so I'm not good enough for you anymore?
22:08Basically.
22:09Dude, face it.
22:10She's moved up.
22:10She's out of your league.
22:11She's on another level.
22:12Whatever you need to understand it.
22:15And after today, Vanessa's headed to the penthouse while you'll still be crawling in the gutter.
22:23Five years together, Vanessa.
22:26All erased by some piece of paper.
22:27Okay, listen, listen.
22:29I need just somebody who can stand by me, not bring me down.
22:33Um, think of it like this.
22:34You're a liability.
22:36Yes, not an asset.
22:38Oh, fine.
22:38I get it now.
22:39It's all my fault for just aiming out of my league, huh?
22:46Bold hug, huh?
22:47Let's see what makes them think they can disrespect me and my family.
22:49Son, sometimes it's better to see someone's true colors rather sooner than later.
23:02It's never easy, though.
23:04Yeah, Dad, you're right.
23:04I just, I just hate myself for being so blind, for not seeing who she really was.
23:12There's no need for hate.
23:14All we can do is learn from our mistakes and do better next time.
23:17Lord knows I've made plenty of mistakes.
23:21How do you think your old man got where he is today?
23:24Yeah, Dad, I get it.
23:26Can we just go now?
23:28Yeah.
23:30Whoa, hold on, go.
23:32You think you can leave that easy?
23:34Yes, hold on a minute.
23:35I mean, what's the rush?
23:36What else could you possibly want from us?
23:39An apology?
23:40You embarrassed me in front of everyone.
23:42You questioned my promotion in front of everyone.
23:46Why don't we just step back and cool off a bit?
23:51Cool off?
23:52Dad.
23:53Cool off.
23:54I'm going to make this very simple for you.
23:57You leave when I say so.
24:02When Vanessa gives you an order, you follow it.
24:05Unless you want me to break your legs.
24:08Why don't you calm down before you do something you'll regret.
24:13Regret?
24:14Nice.
24:17Dad, let me handle this.
24:20Vanessa?
24:23Director Vanessa?
24:24There you go.
24:26I'm sorry.
24:27I shouldn't have questioned you.
24:29You clearly earned this position.
24:31You deserve it.
24:32I did.
24:32And I hope you're happy with your new life.
24:35I got it, Daddy.
24:48We're in this together, son.
24:49Daddy didn't raise no fool.
24:52Wouldn't let her date a boy.
24:53Tell he taught her how to shoot.
24:56Daddy didn't play no games.
24:58Wouldn't let her trade her name for a fake-eyed dude.
25:02Boy, you better know what you're getting into.
25:05This ain't no shotgun wedding that you're used to.
25:12Can we go now?
25:15What a boy!
25:16Now, here's your reward!
25:18Why don't you take it?
25:31Take it.
25:32Crawl out like the dogs you are!
25:34Crawl out like the dogs you got some nerf.
25:50You got some nerf.
25:54You got some nerf.
25:55Pull-boop.
25:55I want to sit.
25:57Ain't no harm.
25:57No whiff.
25:58Mm-hmm.
