00:00:00Everything we need for the next 72 hours
00:00:29Liquid, untouchable
00:00:32Derek has already started moving against you
00:00:35Lining up investors, whispering about Apex's collapse
00:00:38He wants to destroy you, Chris
00:00:41Exactly how I planned
00:00:43You can't bait a shark without a little blood in the water
00:00:46I've already sent over the forged balance sheets
00:00:48The fake foreclosure notices
00:00:50Enough evidence to convince the world that Apex is circling the drain
00:00:53He'll think he scooped everyone
00:00:55Good, give him what he wants
00:00:57The company on its knees
00:00:59And while he gloats
00:01:01We prepare the kill shot
00:01:03The shareholder vote is in 3 days
00:01:05When we move
00:01:07Apex swallows Langford Capital whole
00:01:09And when the dust settles
00:01:11Derek won't just lose the company
00:01:13He'll lose everything
00:01:15Who lose everything

00:01:37Lord, today we are blessed beyond measure, not only because it is the day of your wedding,
00:01:51but because we are blessed with a son-in-law that is a CEO of Apex Group, a man of vision,
00:01:56a man of means. A billionaire who will protect our daughter and build our family legacy.
00:02:03Finally, the Donovan name will carry the weight that it deserves.
00:02:07To Sophia, and to a future where we will want for nothing.
00:02:14Do you, Sophia Donovan, take Chris Bell to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:02:27I do.
00:02:29Then by the power vested in me, stop this wedding!
00:02:37Your billionaire groom is nothing but a fraud.
00:02:40Chris Bell, CEO of Apex Group? Right. Try bankruptly lose her.
00:02:57That's right.
00:02:59Apex Group is ruined.
00:03:01Sophia, you're about to marry a penniless con man.
00:03:06And I have the proof.
00:03:15It can't be true!
00:03:16What is going on here?
00:03:18I think I'm going to be sick!
00:03:19Gentlemen!
00:03:22Gentlemen!
00:03:23Whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:03:24Wait!
00:03:25Oh my God!
00:03:26Help!
00:03:27By order of the courts!
00:03:28Stop it!
00:03:29No!
00:03:30Move!
00:03:31You fraud!
00:03:35And property of the bank.
00:03:39No!
00:03:40Stop! That cake costs more than your salary!
00:04:10Is it really true?
00:04:29Are you?
00:04:35I hate lying to her, but she can't know the truth.
00:04:39Not yet.
00:04:43Yes.
00:04:47Wedding was just such a nightmare.
00:04:49I mean, what a waste of an open bar.
00:04:51I didn't get one martini!
00:04:53I'm gonna have to pay for this whole fucking thing.
00:04:57I tried to warn you.
00:04:59Chris was never the man he said he was.
00:05:01You don't have to go home to that deadbeat bum.
00:05:03You deserve better.
00:05:05You deserve someone who can actually take care of you.
00:05:07Not now, Derek.
00:05:09I just got married.
00:05:11Just think about it.
00:05:13It's made more sense.
00:05:15Sofia!
00:05:17Well, it worked.
00:05:31Still feels like I'm putting a knife on her back.
00:05:33No one can know that Apex is broke.
00:05:35Not even Sofia.
00:05:37And there's a bonus.
00:05:38If she stays with you on your penniless, you'll know she truly loves you.
00:05:41She's not a test, Victoria.
00:05:43She's my wife.
00:05:45Full hostile takeover.
00:05:46We just need to wait 72 hours until the shareover meeting.
00:05:49And when it lands, Derek won't know what hit him.
00:05:55I can't tell her yet.
00:05:57Not until the takeover is complete.
00:05:59And our future is secure.
00:06:01You have some nerve walking in here.
00:06:19This is Sofia's home.
00:06:21She's my wife.
00:06:23Wife?
00:06:24You tricked her.
00:06:25You tricked all of us.
00:06:27You brought gifts.
00:06:28Like, that makes you a part of this family?
00:06:30Well, I thought since we'll be spending time together.
00:06:33This is rich.
00:06:34Correction.
00:06:35Not rich.
00:06:36More like bankrupt.
00:06:37You think money is the most important thing, but it's not.
00:06:40Chris is a good person.
00:06:42He's honest and he treats me with respect.
00:06:45Alright, well, let's see what you brought us anyway.
00:06:47Just a couple tokens of my appreciation of Charlotte.
00:06:51I'm aware you like a nice glass of red before bed.
00:06:54So I got that from you.
00:06:55And Jack, this is a very rare book.
00:06:58I thought it would be good for your collection.
00:07:01Books?
00:07:02He brought us books?
00:07:04What are we supposed to do with a book, Chris?
00:07:05We're supposed to read our way out of debt?
00:07:07You could have brought Monopoly money.
00:07:10It's the same value.
00:07:13Not even French.
00:07:14California.
00:07:15This is bottom shelf swill.
00:07:21You know, I got that from a small vineyard.
00:07:23I thought you would appreciate the backstory.
00:07:25The backstory?
00:07:27We love stories.
00:07:29Like fairy tales.
00:07:30You mean like the fairy tale where you're a billionaire?
00:07:33Oh, I love that one.
00:07:34That's a good one.
00:07:36Oh, you're so funny.
00:07:46Burns well.
00:07:47Look at that.
00:07:58Thank you, John.
00:07:59Nice.
00:08:00That seat is for family.
00:08:15What?
00:08:16He can sit at the end if he's so desperate to eat.
00:08:19I hope you don't mind scraps, champ.
00:08:22That's usually all that's left over when it gets to the end of the table.
00:08:25Especially after you.
00:08:26No, no, no, no.
00:08:27Sofia.
00:08:28You know, you could still get an annulment tonight.
00:08:37Oh.
00:08:38My dear, that is a brilliant idea.
00:08:40You know, I still have Judge Wagner on speak dial.
00:08:43I'll just give him a call.
00:08:44I bet he would be here in about ten minutes.
00:08:46Mom, please.
00:08:47What?
00:08:48Just put your phone away.
00:08:50Fine.
00:08:51But I don't see the point in waiting.
00:08:53Okay, everyone.
00:08:54To my beautiful Sofia, you deserve the world.
00:08:58You deserve the world.
00:08:59But instead, you got a pathetic drifter.
00:09:11Who's good?
00:09:12Is this a cow?
00:09:13Hey, handsome.
00:09:15Bottoms up.
00:09:21Bottoms up.
00:09:28Huh.
00:09:29I guess I should have gone with the white.
00:09:32Butterfingers.
00:09:35Would you all give it a rest already?
00:09:37Whoa!
00:09:38Excuse me.
00:09:39You brought him into our home.
00:09:41And the next thing you know, he's eating our food, fucking our sister, and asking for gas money.
00:09:48That is not a son-in-law. It's a parasite.
00:09:52Don't talk about my husband like that.
00:09:54He doesn't even have the guts to defend himself.
00:09:58Just eat.
00:10:01Please.
00:10:02What do you think you're doing?
00:10:04Sofia hasn't eaten much, so I thought I'd...
00:10:07Oh, the pauper is trying to play the provider now.
00:10:13Maybe your wife just lost her appetite because she married a stone bro shit-heel.
00:10:23Don't strain yourself, Chris.
00:10:24You might pull a muscle trying to lift this chunk of protein.
00:10:28You know, Chris, the good food is for people that contribute, not you, princess.
00:10:43Bon appetit.
00:10:46You sit under this room, eating our food, moving in, and freeloading.
00:11:04What is it, exactly, that you bring to the table?
00:11:07Well, for one, I married your daughter.
00:11:09I married her.
00:11:13And what, you think that makes you automatically a part of this family?
00:11:21You think that marrying Sofia is some kind of gift to us?
00:11:24It's not a gift.
00:11:25It's a burden.
00:11:26It's a liability.
00:11:27It's a state.
00:11:28Please, Mom.
00:11:30No, let him hear it.
00:11:31You want to be part of this family, then?
00:11:33You need to know your place.
00:11:34Because you're nobody's son-in-law.
00:11:36You're just a dog that we let in the back door.
00:11:41So go ahead, kid.
00:11:43Eat up.
00:11:44Woof, woof.
00:12:06That's a good boy.
00:12:16That's a good boy.
00:12:21You know, Sun Tzu says, patience is the key to victory.
00:12:25And I am a very patient man.
00:12:28Look at this guy.
00:12:29I mean, he doesn't even fight back.
00:12:30Not a word.
00:12:31It's because he knows it's true.
00:12:33He's nothing, just a worthless half-wit.
00:12:36And to think, my daughter is married to a man who can't even afford to buy her flowers,
00:12:40let alone put a roof over her head.
00:12:42Well, what do we have here, huh?
00:12:45The happy bride and her poor little groom.
00:12:48Derek, what a surprise.
00:12:50Well, you certainly have a hop in your step.
00:12:53Indeed I do.
00:12:54Langford Capital just secured a quarter of a billion dollars in financing.
00:12:58Record profits.
00:13:00We're expanding faster than any other company on the market.
00:13:02Oh, my God.
00:13:03A quarter billion?
00:13:04That's incredible.
00:13:05But we're just getting started.
00:13:07By next spring, Langford Capital will be the biggest and the best private equity fund
00:13:12in the country.
00:13:13Especially with Apex Groups circling the drain.
00:13:16Isn't that right, Chris?
00:13:17Imagine if Sophia married Derek.
00:13:23I think about that every single day.
00:13:27Mom, you were thrilled when I married Chris this morning.
00:13:30Yes, I was.
00:13:31But secretly, I was hoping you'd end up with Derek.
00:13:36I'll tell you what.
00:13:37Family sticks together.
00:13:38Tom?
00:13:39We're hiring brilliant minds over at Langford Capital.
00:13:41And I have just the position for you.
00:13:43How about head of the Strategic Wealth Fund?
00:13:47You hear that?
00:13:50That is what a son-in-law does.
00:13:53He builds.
00:13:54He protects.
00:13:55He provides.
00:13:56And he doesn't lie to you.
00:13:58Sophia, it's not too late.
00:14:02You can still fix it.
00:14:05Just annul the marriage and walk away.
00:14:11I already told you.
00:14:13I don't wanna hear it!
00:14:15You...
00:14:16Well...
00:14:17Sign...
00:14:18This paper...
00:14:20And annul this marriage!
00:14:22Mom, please, sign it!
00:14:25You will not drag the Donovan family down with you!
00:14:30Mom, stop!
00:14:31Sign the divorce papers!
00:14:33And I know this marriage now!
00:14:48Jack!
00:14:49Oh my god!
00:14:50Jack!
00:14:51Somebody do something!
00:14:56Oh my god!
00:14:58You're texting while my father is having a heart attack?!
00:15:02He's probably texting his side piece already!
00:15:04I have been worried about Jack for a long time.
00:15:06So for the past six months, I've been working with specialists at Apex to try to find a cure.
00:15:10Oh, right.
00:15:11Because Apex is some kind of, like, magic shop now.
00:15:13What's next, Chris?
00:15:14You're gonna try to sell us unicorn tears in a jar?
00:15:17Laugh all you want, but this could be the only thing that can actually cure him.
00:15:20This isn't some medical breakthrough.
00:15:23This is all about your ego.
00:15:25Because you cannot stand the fact that we all know that you are useless, so you just make up fantasies!
00:15:32I mean, what is next, Chris?
00:15:34You're gonna sprinkle fairy dust on my father and tell us that he's healed?!
00:15:37What, are you just gonna bring him over to the garage and hook him up to jumper cables?!
00:15:40You're a fraud, and you always have been.
00:15:42If you lay a finger on him, you'll kill him faster than the disease itself!
00:15:47I've also been sending messages to someone who actually knows what they're doing.
00:15:52Dean Hargrove, chief of medicine over at Crestview Hospital.
00:15:56A real doctor with real credentials.
00:15:59And expensive.
00:16:01But he's worth it.
00:16:02Because unlike your made-up magical cure, he's not gonna kill my father.
00:16:07That's what a real son-in-law does.
00:16:10He is generous, and he is serious about family.
00:16:14Unlike this twisted truth, fucker!
00:16:17You think your limp dick husband is gonna compete with that?
00:16:21Please.
00:16:22This isn't a competition.
00:16:23I just want Jack to get better.
00:16:25It's not a competition.
00:16:27Oh.
00:16:29You just want Jack to get better, do you?
00:16:32Well, why don't you try this?!
00:16:34Oh!
00:16:37Yay, finally some real entertainment!
00:16:39Yeah, maybe that'll shut him up.
00:16:40What is the matter with you?!
00:16:42He is just a deadbeat grifter.
00:16:44He needs to get out of this house.
00:16:46Yeah, and he's as welcome as a turd in the family Punchbowl.
00:16:49Yeah, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner we can all move on.
00:16:56That must be Dr. Hargrove.
00:16:58Dr. Hargrove, chief of medicine at Cresview Medical.
00:17:11Only the best for my Jack and his family.
00:17:15Doctor, thank you so much for coming to our family.
00:17:18We know how precious your time is.
00:17:20When it comes to family health, nothing is more important.
00:17:22Did you hear that?
00:17:23Nothing's more important than family.
00:17:25A real doctor.
00:17:27Unlike your, uh, snake oil.
00:17:29Hmm?
00:17:30Come on.
00:17:31So why don't you just take your lies and get the hell out of this house?
00:17:35Listen, I think that you...
00:17:39I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
00:17:49Jack's condition has advanced.
00:17:51Oh my God.
00:17:52His lungs are weak.
00:17:54Circulation is very poor.
00:17:55He might only have a couple of weeks to maybe a few months.
00:17:59Oh my God.
00:18:00Right now, I can only suggest palliative measures.
00:18:02Palliative?
00:18:03You mean there's...
00:18:04There's nothing medicine can do.
00:18:06I'm sorry.
00:18:07Just cherish the time that you still have with him.
00:18:10And you!
00:18:13Trying to use my father as a guinea pig for your Frankenstein cure!
00:18:16We're only gonna kill him faster!
00:18:18Dr. Hargrove, help her!
00:18:26He's crashing.
00:18:27We don't have time.
00:18:28I can't breathe.
00:18:29Do something if you are such a genius!
00:18:37Just in time.
00:18:48What is this circus?
00:19:06And what the hell is that?
00:19:07I built Apex on breakthroughs the rest of the world thought were impossible.
00:19:10This vial right here is the first drug of its kind developed by a team of specialists for one man's condition.
00:19:17Jax.
00:19:18The old man needs a miracle, not some science fiction and a goddamn needle.
00:19:22Or this is his end game.
00:19:25You kill him and then you inherit Sophia without all the trouble.
00:19:28Hmm?
00:19:29You are not sticking that needle anywhere near my husband.
00:19:32Over my dead body.
00:19:36Chris, please.
00:19:38You have two maybe three minutes left unless you let me help you right now.
00:19:45Jack.
00:19:47Help me.
00:19:48If this kills him, I will kill you.
00:19:52Are you sure about this?
00:19:53I wouldn't risk it if I wasn't.
00:19:56Trust me.
00:19:57Do it.
00:19:58Doc?
00:20:10Okay, Jack.
00:20:12Over.
00:20:18Jeff!
00:20:19I can breathe.
00:20:44His pulse. It's stronger. Remarkably stronger.
00:20:53It's just blind luck. It's some kind of fluke.
00:20:56Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
00:20:59I'll take that as a thank you.
00:21:02Jack, get some rest.
00:21:04I'll leave a monitor here overnight and check on you in the morning.
00:21:08Thank you, Dr. Hargrove.
00:21:11It's okay. It's okay.
00:21:13Mom, it's good.
00:21:14Oh, Max, sweetie.
00:21:16Babe, didn't you say that you had some special surprise in the car for Max?
00:21:22Yes, yes, I did. My favorite little guy.
00:21:24Max, let's go. Come on, buddy.
00:21:27That's enough doom and gloom around here.
00:21:29It's time for this family to have some fun.
00:21:32And for you to finally see how a real man provides for his family.
00:21:36Limited edition, custom page job. You can only get one of these if you know somebody.
00:21:48Go get it, Tiger.
00:21:49What? Wow. Max, I think it for a spin.
00:21:55You see, Chris?
00:21:56This is what a real son-in-law does. He provides status, toys, and joy.
00:22:04Boy's got a left foot on the pedal.
00:22:06I'm sorry, Chris.
00:22:07Everyone will come around.
00:22:08Don't make it up to yourself.
00:22:10Promise.
00:22:11Won't be like this for long.
00:22:12Face it, Chris.
00:22:13You could literally never get anything like this for your kid.
00:22:17Well, unless he found an abandoned one at the thrift store he shops at.
00:22:21Ooh, baby, look how fast he's going. That's my boy.
00:22:30Hey, Victoria.
00:22:31I need you to do me one more favor.
00:22:33This looks so cool.
00:22:35After you.
00:22:36Only the best for my boy.
00:22:37Whoa.
00:22:38It's like Daniel.
00:22:47Yeah?
00:22:48Arriving now, boss.
00:22:49Thanks, Vic.
00:22:51Quick announcement, everyone.
00:22:53I have a surprise for you all outside.
00:22:55Oh, yeah?
00:22:55What is it?
00:22:56A coupon for a half-off pizza?
00:22:58Maybe it's a pawn shop conca truck.
00:23:01No.
00:23:03That's something money can't buy.
00:23:08Okay.
00:23:09Max, go on.
00:23:10All right.
00:23:10Hey, let's go, Max.
00:23:12Let's go take this baby for a spin.
00:23:14Yeah.
00:23:18Look at him go.
00:23:19Let's go, Max.
00:23:21Oh, my God.
00:23:23Oh, that has to be fake.
00:23:25No one would let a child play with something like that.
00:23:28What am I looking at?
00:23:28The fleet of top-of-the-line prototypes.
00:23:30Fully safe, fully licensed.
00:23:32The only one of its kind in the country.
00:23:33Do you expect us to believe that he could afford to bring something like this to our house?
00:23:40It's pretty neat, huh?
00:23:41This is the coolest thing ever.
00:23:42That can happen?
00:23:43What?
00:23:43No, no.
00:23:44You know, Max, don't get too excited.
00:23:46Yeah.
00:23:46They're knockoffs.
00:23:48Cheap imports made to look expensive.
00:23:51Yeah, it happens all the time.
00:23:52They're probably defective, sweetie.
00:23:53Max.
00:23:54Max.
00:23:54And yet, he parades it on my front lawn in some kind of pathetic attempt to convince
00:24:00us that he's some powerful big shot.
00:24:03Chris, how did you afford this?
00:24:05It must have cost millions of dollars.
00:24:07Yeah, Chris.
00:24:09Are you actually bankrupt or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:24:14Are you actually bankrupt or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:24:19Damn it.
00:24:20I overplayed my hand.
00:24:21Showing off a fleet of DARPA prototypes was a bad move.
00:24:26I didn't buy them.
00:24:28I borrowed them from a friend.
00:24:29They're on loan from a defense contractor I did some consulting for.
00:24:35Chris, you don't have to keep doing this.
00:24:37Trying to prove yourself to my family.
00:24:39Let them think whatever they want.
00:24:42The more they underestimate me, the better.
00:24:48I didn't see it before.
00:24:49Now, it's clear as day.
00:24:52You're a real con man, aren't you, Chris?
00:24:54Just squirreling away whatever scraps of money you can find and then just linging it and gadgets.
00:25:01Mom.
00:25:01No, Sophia.
00:25:03Look at us.
00:25:03My husband is sick.
00:25:05This house is bleeding us dry.
00:25:08And you, instead of improving her station in life.
00:25:12You just throw cash at toys.
00:25:15You disgust me.
00:25:16He didn't buy them.
00:25:18Then he took out a bunch of IOUs.
00:25:19Listen to me.
00:25:20When that company comes to collect, we are all in a lot of trouble.
00:25:23You know, I'm just going to say it.
00:25:29I'm not giving you a cent.
00:25:30No, no, no.
00:25:31I'm not going to be bankrolling my grifter of a brother-in-law who is just trying to hustle us all out of money.
00:25:37Listen, none of you need to pay anything.
00:25:39So if you don't pay, then who does?
00:25:41How does a skid row reject like you afford something like that?
00:25:45I don't have to pay either.
00:25:46So what?
00:25:47You just call in a favor at the Pentagon?
00:25:50Oh, you have DARPA on speed dial?
00:25:53Oh, wow.
00:25:55As a matter of fact, yes, I do.
00:25:59Anyway, it's none of your concern.
00:26:02You know, all this idle chit-chat, I completely forgot.
00:26:06You two need to sign the annulment papers.
00:26:08I'd be happy to take you as my wife.
00:26:11Sophia, you deserve a partner who can put a diamond on your finger
00:26:14and not dirt under your nails.
00:26:16It's time to move on from this charlatan.
00:26:20Sophia, why don't we just put an end to this
00:26:23and we can forget it ever happened.
00:26:40No.
00:26:42Sorry.
00:26:43Sophia, don't let pride get in the way of you making the right decision.
00:26:48Sophia, he is not the same man that you married.
00:26:52No one would blame you.
00:26:53It's modern times so.
00:26:55Nobody takes wedding vows seriously anymore.
00:26:57It's all free love, free marriage.
00:27:00You should trade up while you still can.
00:27:02We can go to the courthouse right now.
00:27:04We can get it all done tonight.
00:27:05An annulment, a marriage.
00:27:07Two for one.
00:27:08Enough!
00:27:09God!
00:27:09I am still right here.
00:27:13And if you keep insulting me and Sophia,
00:27:15don't be surprised if we walk out of here for good.
00:27:18Together.
00:27:19There it is.
00:27:21Anger.
00:27:22Typical impotent man's weapon.
00:27:24Violence and empty threats.
00:27:27Don't make it worse.
00:27:28Sophia, are you listening to what they're saying?
00:27:30They're trying to force us to annul our marriage.
00:27:34Don't talk.
00:27:35They're just in shock.
00:27:37I'm not in shock.
00:27:39Tomorrow morning, Chris,
00:27:40you will take my daughter down to the courthouse
00:27:43and get an annulment and end this sham of a union.
00:27:47I'll be right there to say I do.
00:27:52He thinks he's already won.
00:27:54But in less than 72 hours,
00:27:56Langford Capital will belong to me.
00:27:58Your company going under wasn't the only bombshell I discovered.
00:28:04A little birdie told me that $100 million went missing
00:28:07from Apex Group's cash reserves.
00:28:09So you're a liar and a thief!
00:28:12And after I spilled the beans of Chris's bankruptcy,
00:28:16I got another tip.
00:28:17Apparently, Apex Group's Fortune 500 cover boy
00:28:20supposedly rewired a massive loan
00:28:22from a Swiss bank to an offshore accountant.
00:28:25Whoa, Chris, have you no shame?
00:28:29That explains the miracle medicine
00:28:31and the military toys outside this house!
00:28:33It matches all of it.
00:28:36Case closed.
00:28:37I knew it!
00:28:38You're not only worthless,
00:28:39but you are a criminal!
00:28:41Did you hear that?
00:28:41If I deliver you,
00:28:43a deadbeat fraud,
00:28:44to the authorities,
00:28:45I get a major reward.
00:28:46And could you imagine the headlines?
00:28:49And I would earn good favor with the president.
00:28:51His whole campaign was run
00:28:53on bringing down corporate corruption.
00:28:54I'd probably get invited to the White House.
00:28:56Derek, you're the fraud.
00:28:58Not me.
00:29:01Lock the doors.
00:29:03We need to make sure
00:29:04he doesn't make a run for it.
00:29:05He's still my husband.
00:29:16He's family.
00:29:17Family?
00:29:18If Chris gets arrested,
00:29:20it drags us all down.
00:29:21You want a hundred million dollar debt
00:29:22tied to our family name?
00:29:24Who do you think
00:29:25the government's gonna come after
00:29:26when Chris can't pay you?
00:29:28Oh, my God.
00:29:29You're right, honey.
00:29:30Go.
00:29:33Sophia?
00:29:34Honey?
00:29:35Listen to me.
00:29:37I don't owe anything.
00:29:42He's lying.
00:29:44Is he?
00:29:45Or have you been deceiving me all along?
00:29:51Exactly.
00:29:52You know,
00:29:53from what I can tell,
00:29:54it's Chris telling the lies.
00:29:56You steal a hundred million dollars
00:29:57to come to the house
00:29:58of an innocent family
00:29:59and you're flaunted?
00:30:00That is disgusting.
00:30:00You're a sick man.
00:30:02There is one way out.
00:30:03A normant.
00:30:04Immediately.
00:30:05As long as Sophia
00:30:06cuts off these ties,
00:30:07as long as the Donovan family
00:30:09draws clear lines,
00:30:10his debt dies with him.
00:30:13Sophia,
00:30:14I can still give you
00:30:15the future you deserve.
00:30:16With me.
00:30:17Mary Derek, I mean, look at him.
00:30:27He has real power and real money.
00:30:30And then this family can rise
00:30:33instead of crashing with Chris.
00:30:35Why are you just standing around?
00:30:37Go on.
00:30:38Annull the marriage
00:30:39and ended with this fraud.
00:30:42Why are you still shielding him?
00:30:44I don't mind if the two of you
00:30:46want to sink,
00:30:47but you will not drown
00:30:49the Donovan family with you.
00:30:51He may be going through a rough path,
00:30:53but he's been good to me.
00:30:57I'll leave with him.
00:30:58We won't be your burden.
00:31:04Sophia,
00:31:05I will always protect you.
00:31:07I'll always make you happy,
00:31:09even if it's the last thing I do.
00:31:11Eric, please.
00:31:18Don't ruin him.
00:31:19You're still defending him?
00:31:21This cockroach of a man?
00:31:23For the sake of our pause,
00:31:25I'm begging you.
00:31:26Have mercy.
00:31:28Absolutely not.
00:31:29If he runs,
00:31:30the fallout comes back on us.
00:31:32Sophia,
00:31:33you are going to send me
00:31:34to an early grave.
00:31:37Here's what's going to happen.
00:31:38My security detail
00:31:41is waiting just outside for me.
00:31:43They come in,
00:31:44they haul Chris's ass
00:31:45down to Langford Capital.
00:31:46While he's sitting
00:31:47in the basement storage room,
00:31:49we'll have Sophia
00:31:50sign the annulment papers.
00:31:53Brilliant.
00:31:53You can teach this pawn scum a lesson.
00:31:56That's him.
00:31:57Taken.
00:31:58I dare you.
00:32:00Put one finger on me
00:32:01and you'll regret it
00:32:02for the rest of your life.
00:32:03Big talk coming
00:32:04from a broken con man.
00:32:06I'll have you dragged
00:32:07out of here in cuffs
00:32:08and the Donovan family
00:32:09will thank me.
00:32:10You're going to play this game?
00:32:12Go on, Derek.
00:32:13Make your move.
00:32:15Detain him now.
00:32:18Oh, shit.
00:32:19Oh, my God.
00:32:21Oh, he saved him.
00:32:22He's off of her.
00:32:25Oh, no.
00:32:28Don't worry.
00:32:29Once they're through with him,
00:32:30he'll thank me for saving you.
00:32:33Sophia, remember,
00:32:35I did this for you.
00:32:36for us.
00:32:41Take him.
00:32:42No.
00:32:43Wait, don't.
00:32:44Stop.
00:32:44Stop.
00:32:44Stop.
00:32:45Stop.
00:32:46Stop.
00:32:46Stop.
00:32:55After the bankruptcy leak,
00:32:56my board wants answers.
00:32:58You don't believe the rumors?
00:32:59Leaks can be planted.
00:33:00I don't buy for a second
00:33:02that Apex is broke.
00:33:03So this is a fact-finding mission.
00:33:05If the headlines are true,
00:33:07then we cut and run.
00:33:08But if not,
00:33:09this family may be sitting
00:33:10on a gold mine
00:33:11and not even realize it.
00:33:13I just saw a woman outside
00:33:23and she looks an awful lot
00:33:25like Marina Barron.
00:33:27Barron?
00:33:27As in Barron Holdings?
00:33:28Are you sure?
00:33:29Yeah.
00:33:29I googled her
00:33:31and the pictures on the Google
00:33:32looked like the pictures
00:33:33of the woman
00:33:34who was standing outside.
00:33:34Don't you know what this means?
00:33:36She is the predator
00:33:37who come to collect
00:33:37on the money that Chris stole.
00:33:38Oh my God.
00:33:39We're so screwed
00:33:41and Sophia is still
00:33:42legally tied to Chris
00:33:43if she connects the dots?
00:33:44That bastard.
00:33:45He has been dragging us down
00:33:46since day one.
00:33:46Are you happy now?
00:33:47What do we do?
00:33:48We can't let her in.
00:33:49She is the most powerful woman
00:33:52on the street.
00:33:53If we don't let her in
00:33:53we look guilty.
00:33:54Okay, but like,
00:33:55hear me out.
00:33:56Like, what if she's not here
00:33:57to collect on Chris's deaths?
00:33:59Sweetheart, what?
00:33:59Don't be naive.
00:34:01Then, okay,
00:34:01here's what we do.
00:34:02We tell her that we kicked Chris out
00:34:04and then we forced Sophia
00:34:05to sign the annulment papers
00:34:06and we never touched
00:34:07a dime of his money.
00:34:08We should have gone
00:34:09to the courthouse hours ago.
00:34:11Hold on.
00:34:13Let me call my friend
00:34:14at the courthouse.
00:34:15Maybe he can backdate
00:34:15something for us.
00:34:16Yes.
00:34:17Daddy's got it.
00:34:18No, he isn't lying.
00:34:22He didn't steal
00:34:23a hundred billion dollars.
00:34:25Okay, Sophia,
00:34:26you look so demure right now,
00:34:28but my priority
00:34:29is protecting my family.
00:34:31He is my family.
00:34:33Well, then you need to decide.
00:34:34It's either him or us.
00:34:36I'm not signing anything today.
00:34:38Do you want to own us?
00:34:40You need to grow up.
00:34:41The world runs on money
00:34:42and power
00:34:43and your husband
00:34:44has knighthood.
00:34:45Okay, this is what
00:34:46we're going to do.
00:34:46We're going to let her in.
00:34:47We're going to smile,
00:34:49we're going to be gracious,
00:34:50and we're going to make it
00:34:51abundantly clear
00:34:51that we have cut ties
00:34:53with Chris completely.
00:34:54Completely.
00:34:55That means you.
00:34:57If she asks about the marriage,
00:34:58you say it's already been annulled.
00:35:00Do you understand?
00:35:01I got it.
00:35:01You are not going to
00:35:02drag us down with him.
00:35:06Elizabeth,
00:35:06game time.
00:35:07Game time.
00:35:08Let her in.
00:35:08Okay, smiles.
00:35:12Karen, what an honor.
00:35:14I believe your son-in-law
00:35:15works with one of our
00:35:16affiliate banks.
00:35:18I thought since I'm in town,
00:35:19I'd put a face to the name
00:35:20that I've heard
00:35:21such good things about.
00:35:23Tom Hayden,
00:35:24assistant VP,
00:35:25commercial lending,
00:35:26mentioned on our vendor list
00:35:27last year.
00:35:28Tom,
00:35:29it's a pleasure.
00:35:30Anything you need,
00:35:31you get my full attention.
00:35:32I appreciate that.
00:35:35Thank you, sweetheart.
00:35:37While I'm here,
00:35:39I thought I'd
00:35:40clear up a few questions
00:35:41that the market
00:35:42has been whispering about.
00:35:44Questions?
00:35:45Okay.
00:35:46Apex Group.
00:35:47If Chris Bell
00:35:48truly is at the helm,
00:35:50then the bankruptcy rumors
00:35:51don't add up.
00:35:53I know this was
00:35:54his last address on file.
00:35:55Is he here?
00:36:02Is he here?
00:36:14Chris,
00:36:14oh no,
00:36:15he is a loser
00:36:16who we kicked out
00:36:17and we cut ties with
00:36:18completely.
00:36:19You did what?
00:36:21And the marriage
00:36:22to our daughter.
00:36:24That's been annulled.
00:36:25He is no longer
00:36:25part of the family.
00:36:26Actually,
00:36:27he's a shit stain.
00:36:28And if he's in trouble,
00:36:29that's his problem.
00:36:31These idiots.
00:36:32have no idea
00:36:33what they've done.
00:36:35Miss Barron,
00:36:36I don't think
00:36:37you understand.
00:36:38We despise him.
00:36:41And if we could
00:36:42cut him up
00:36:42into like tiny,
00:36:44little,
00:36:44itty-bitty,
00:36:45bite-sized pieces,
00:36:46we would.
00:36:47Excuse me,
00:36:48cut him to what?
00:36:49No.
00:36:50Small pieces.
00:36:51And that's not all
00:36:51I would do.
00:36:52If I could,
00:36:53I would skin him alive.
00:36:55I would break
00:36:56every bone in his body.
00:36:58And then,
00:36:59I would suck
00:37:00his blood dry.
00:37:04I'm scared.
00:37:06He just never
00:37:07really knew his place.
00:37:09He clung to Sophia
00:37:11and then he used
00:37:12all of us.
00:37:13So you thought
00:37:14Chris Bell
00:37:14was not good enough
00:37:15to marry into this family?
00:37:17No.
00:37:18Bingo.
00:37:20Don't you worry
00:37:21the world is better
00:37:22with him buried
00:37:23in a ditch.
00:37:23I'm sorry.
00:37:24Where is he now?
00:37:28Derek's security detail
00:37:30took him to
00:37:31Langford Capital.
00:37:32Yes.
00:37:32The guards
00:37:32have probably already
00:37:33beat him halfway to death.
00:37:34But don't worry,
00:37:35Miss Barrett.
00:37:35I mean,
00:37:35none of us here
00:37:36feel sorry for him.
00:37:37And I think I speak
00:37:38on behalf of everyone
00:37:39on this couch
00:37:40when I say
00:37:40we'd all be a lot happier
00:37:41if they just finished
00:37:42the job.
00:37:47You said that he was
00:37:48at Langford Capital?
00:37:49Yeah, in the storage room
00:37:50in the basement.
00:37:51Derek wanted to take him
00:37:52to a place where nobody
00:37:53could hear him scream.
00:37:54Right.
00:37:56Yes.
00:37:56Oh.
00:37:58Congratulations.
00:38:00You just made
00:38:01the biggest mistake
00:38:03of your lives.
00:38:04What?
00:38:05Oh.
00:38:05What?
00:38:06That did sound good.
00:38:08What the hell's
00:38:08our problem?
00:38:09Yeah, and why
00:38:09all of a sudden
00:38:10does she care about
00:38:11Chris and his well-being?
00:38:12No.
00:38:15She's sleeping with him.
00:38:17Oh, yes.
00:38:18Yes, yes.
00:38:19Excuse me?
00:38:20I mean,
00:38:21why else would a woman
00:38:21like that care
00:38:22about financial corpses?
00:38:24Oh, it's all
00:38:25so clear now.
00:38:26The drones.
00:38:28That theatrics.
00:38:29Chris was trying
00:38:30to impress her.
00:38:31Baron Holdings,
00:38:32they protect their own.
00:38:33She's probably
00:38:34funding him on the side.
00:38:35Probably a lot
00:38:35more than that.
00:38:37Huh?
00:38:37Hopefully.
00:38:38That's true.
00:38:39And they're still entangled.
00:38:40We need to sever
00:38:41ties immediately.
00:38:43Tomorrow morning,
00:38:44no delays,
00:38:45the papers.
00:38:45No, no.
00:38:46Whoa.
00:38:47I won't be part
00:38:48of your gossip mill.
00:38:49Well, it's not gossip
00:38:51if it's obvious, Sophia.
00:38:52It's obvious
00:38:53that you'll do anything
00:38:54to make Chris look bad.
00:38:56Yeah, that's enough.
00:38:57As long as you
00:38:58are still married to him,
00:38:59our family
00:39:00is on the chopping block
00:39:02for his reckless failings.
00:39:03You are either
00:39:05too naive
00:39:06or too stupid
00:39:08to say it.
00:39:23Annulment papers.
00:39:25Sign them
00:39:25and we're done.
00:39:26You think this basement
00:39:27scares me?
00:39:28You have no idea
00:39:31what's coming.
00:39:39Good news, asshole.
00:39:41Your wife's family
00:39:42is ready to be reasonable.
00:39:45Then I guess
00:39:46I don't need to sign anything.
00:39:48Cute.
00:39:50Sign the goddamn papers.
00:39:52Papers.
00:39:53Derek,
00:39:54you keep taking
00:39:55my silence
00:39:56for surrender.
00:39:58This is your last chance,
00:40:00about it.
00:40:00Hmm?
00:40:01If you refuse,
00:40:03I'll buy Apex Group
00:40:04myself
00:40:05and then I'll sell it
00:40:06for scraps
00:40:06like a junkyard car.
00:40:08Hmm?
00:40:10So what's it gonna be?
00:40:12Time's ticking.
00:40:16Derek,
00:40:16Derek,
00:40:16you can go straight
00:40:20to hell.
00:40:24They can regret
00:40:25that choice.
00:40:35This is gonna make you
00:40:35sign one way
00:40:36or another.
00:40:38Last chance
00:40:39to take the easy way out.
00:40:41What fun would that be?
00:40:42Is that all you got?
00:41:12Sign it properly.
00:41:25I'll make sure
00:41:26that every nerve
00:41:27in your body
00:41:28is fried,
00:41:28rendering you useless.
00:41:36Touch him again
00:41:38and I'll make sure
00:41:38this entire building
00:41:39is on lockdown
00:41:40before sunrise.
00:41:41What the hell
00:41:42is this?
00:41:43Kidnapping?
00:41:44Extortion?
00:41:46Attempted murder?
00:41:48He's a fraud
00:41:50and a liar.
00:41:52He's a two-bit
00:41:52Bernie Madoff hack.
00:41:54Whatever rumors
00:41:55you've heard
00:41:55about Apex Group,
00:41:57the story
00:41:57isn't adding up.
00:41:58Who the fuck
00:41:59are you?
00:42:01Marina Barron.
00:42:04Barron Holdings.
00:42:07Oh, shit.
00:42:09She's about to destroy
00:42:10my whole plan.
00:42:14Listen,
00:42:16Marina,
00:42:16I really appreciate
00:42:18what you're trying
00:42:19to do here,
00:42:19but he's right.
00:42:23I'm a fraud.
00:42:26I have multiple contacts,
00:42:30credible sources inside.
00:42:31They're wrong.
00:42:33Trust me.
00:42:35I'm toxic.
00:42:36You don't want anything
00:42:38to do with me.
00:42:40I must have been
00:42:41wrong about him.
00:42:43We should sit down
00:42:44and talk.
00:42:45I like the way
00:42:45you operate.
00:42:50You never see
00:42:50that Chris guy again.
00:42:51I don't think we will.
00:42:52I think we really
00:42:53scared him off last time.
00:42:55Oh, my God.
00:42:57Look at the cat's rag, dude.
00:42:59Chris.
00:42:59You thought you'd
00:43:05get rid of me, huh?
00:43:07Well,
00:43:08I'm not done yet.
00:43:13Oh!
00:43:14Stay
00:43:14right there.
00:43:17Unbelievable.
00:43:18He just crawls
00:43:19right back
00:43:20into our home
00:43:21like a stray.
00:43:22Somebody should call
00:43:23Animal Control.
00:43:24No need.
00:43:25We can evict him
00:43:26ourselves.
00:43:27Tonight,
00:43:29we're good.
00:43:32Sophia.
00:43:37Look at me.
00:43:39No looks!
00:43:41You are not
00:43:42a husband.
00:43:43You are not
00:43:44a son-in-law.
00:43:45And you are not
00:43:46part of this family anymore.
00:43:48Tom?
00:43:50Show him the door.
00:43:51Oh, absolutely.
00:43:52Oh, but don't let him
00:43:52step on the lawn
00:43:53because the gardener
00:43:54just planted
00:43:54my favorite flowers
00:43:55and if he steps
00:43:56and I'll just
00:43:56be so obsessed.
00:43:58Of course I may.
00:43:58All right.
00:43:59I know where
00:44:00the door is, Tom.
00:44:03Are you coming
00:44:04with me?
00:44:09Don't
00:44:09you dare.
00:44:12Do you want
00:44:12to kill your father
00:44:13with the stress?
00:44:19Do you want
00:44:20that on your
00:44:20conscience?
00:44:26Chris, I'm sorry.
00:44:29Chris, I'm sorry.
00:44:29You're going to regret this.
00:44:44All of you.
00:44:46For every word,
00:44:47every choice
00:44:49that you made today.
00:44:52Sure, whatever.
00:44:53Just put it
00:44:53in a greeting card.
00:44:54There's the door, Jim.
00:44:59I'm not giving up
00:45:00on this.
00:45:05Oh!
00:45:07Good riddance.
00:45:09Hey.
00:45:10Yeah?
00:45:11Someone's going to need
00:45:11to change the locks.
00:45:14Okay, yes.
00:45:17You're welcome.
00:45:17I love you.
00:45:25Vic.
00:45:26It's me.
00:45:28Do it.
00:45:29All of them.
00:45:31I want each one
00:45:32of them begging
00:45:33for mercy.
00:45:37Oh.
00:45:38That's a cute one
00:45:38of Max.
00:45:40Oh.
00:45:40Oh.
00:45:42Hello?
00:45:43Oh.
00:45:45Yo.
00:45:45Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:45:49But I've...
00:45:50What do you mean
00:45:50effective immediately?
00:45:51I've headed that committee
00:45:52for three years.
00:45:53No, no, no.
00:45:54There has to be some mistake.
00:45:55I just closed the full...
00:45:56No, no, no, no.
00:45:57Wait, you can't...
00:45:57Revoke?
00:45:58No, I...
00:45:58Wait, wait, wait.
00:45:59You can't just restructure me out.
00:46:01I signed the promotion paperwork.
00:46:03Hello?
00:46:04Hello?
00:46:04Oh, my God.
00:46:10I was just fired.
00:46:12Me too.
00:46:12Oh, and they're rolling back my bonus
00:46:15reviewing irregularities.
00:46:18What...
00:46:18What just happened?
00:46:22It's Chris.
00:46:23The man is so toxic,
00:46:26he's taken us all down with him.
00:46:28Our brother-in-law's company
00:46:29is publicly outed as bankrupt
00:46:32and riddled with fraud,
00:46:33and then both of our careers
00:46:35just go up in smoke?
00:46:36That is not a coincidence.
00:46:39Wait a minute.
00:46:39So he shits the bed,
00:46:42and you two are collateral damage?
00:46:44Yes!
00:46:45You see?
00:46:46This is why I say
00:46:47sever ties.
00:46:49Cut.
00:46:49You don't know that Chris
00:46:50was the cause of this.
00:46:52Oh!
00:46:52Don't be naive.
00:46:53He makes enemies
00:46:54wherever he goes,
00:46:56and we are expected
00:46:57to foot the bill.
00:46:59We're not eating this.
00:47:00Not after everything.
00:47:02The city still owes
00:47:04on a demolition payout.
00:47:05Chris's childhood home
00:47:07is in the redevelopment zone.
00:47:09I'm tearing it down.
00:47:10So...
00:47:11We collect it as compensation
00:47:12for everything he put us through.
00:47:14Oh, you can't just take it.
00:47:15Watch us.
00:47:17We will file a claim
00:47:18through the executive group
00:47:19or whatever place, okay?
00:47:21By the time Chris figures out
00:47:22the money's gone,
00:47:23it's too late.
00:47:24It's ours.
00:47:25Yeah.
00:47:25We don't need to suffer
00:47:26for his incompetence.
00:47:28He will pay it out.
00:47:30Do it.
00:47:31Make him pay back
00:47:32every dollar he owes.
00:47:34This bank.
00:47:34That house
00:47:36is the only memory
00:47:38he has left of his parents.
00:47:40Well, he should have
00:47:41thought about that
00:47:41before he tanked his business
00:47:43and poisoned our names.
00:47:45Look at the people we're going.
00:47:47County records office
00:47:48will get into the morning.
00:47:48You're so smart, babe.
00:47:50You're saving the day.
00:47:53You see?
00:47:54We take care of her.
00:47:57Got it.
00:47:58And you
00:47:59fucks with the Donovans!
00:48:04To anyone else,
00:48:08this is a run-down old house.
00:48:10But for me,
00:48:11it's home.
00:48:17Lawson, you're the last holdout.
00:48:19Just sign the property over
00:48:20and no one gets hurt.
00:48:21This house is the last thing
00:48:22left of my parents.
00:48:23You want it?
00:48:25You're going to have to
00:48:26tear it down with me in it.
00:48:27Oh, I knew Chris
00:48:34would be here.
00:48:36Get him to agree
00:48:37and that demolition payment
00:48:39is ours!
00:48:40It's his house
00:48:41and our survival.
00:48:43Don't you see it?
00:48:44His mess has already
00:48:46cost us money,
00:48:47jobs, status.
00:48:49You'll get him
00:48:50to sign it over
00:48:51because you're
00:48:51a Donovan first.
00:48:52Do it.
00:49:06Sophia.
00:49:09Hi!
00:49:14Go on.
00:49:16Isn't there something
00:49:16you want to say to him?
00:49:21Chris, I...
00:49:22I know how important
00:49:24this is.
00:49:24Oh, just spit it out already!
00:49:28Please.
00:49:30Don't ask me to do this.
00:49:32Don't listen to him.
00:49:33He will just drag us down
00:49:35until we have nothing left.
00:49:37Go on.
00:49:38Talk some sense into him.
00:49:39He is going to bury us
00:49:40with him, Sophia.
00:49:42And what about Dad?
00:49:44Huh?
00:49:44He's going to kill him
00:49:45faster than the heart disease
00:49:46ever would.
00:49:47I don't know.
00:49:52Chris, I'm sorry.
00:49:59It's just a lot of money.
00:50:02Okay, that's enough talking.
00:50:03Excuse me?
00:50:05Excuse us.
00:50:06I need more stuff.
00:50:08Oh, I hate these stairs.
00:50:09They're the first to go, I think.
00:50:10Hmm.
00:50:19Ugly.
00:50:21Hideous.
00:50:22Horrible.
00:50:23Oh!
00:50:25Well, this
00:50:26has to be a knockoff.
00:50:28Chris's parents
00:50:29could never afford
00:50:30the real thing.
00:50:31Bag it, babe.
00:50:33Yes, ma'am.
00:50:33Oh, what is in here, huh?
00:50:39Pretty pricey
00:50:40for someone
00:50:41who can't even
00:50:41afford lunch meat, huh?
00:50:43Those belong to my grandmother.
00:50:44Oh, well.
00:50:46Then she should have
00:50:46taken them to the grave with her.
00:50:50These deadbeats
00:50:51sure know how to
00:50:51keep up appearances.
00:50:53Oh, wow.
00:50:54This is fancy.
00:50:56Tom, off the wall,
00:50:57in the bag now.
00:50:58Yep.
00:50:58Now, let me ask you, Chris.
00:51:00Were your mom and dad
00:51:01kleptomaniacs?
00:51:03Oh, look at this.
00:51:07Somebody was very busy
00:51:09in kindergarten art class.
00:51:10My mother made that, okay?
00:51:12That's the last thing
00:51:13I have of hers.
00:51:14Oh.
00:51:15Well, mom certainly
00:51:17wasn't Michelangelo.
00:51:18Whoa!
00:51:25Oops.
00:51:29That was priceless.
00:51:33Well, not anymore.
00:51:37Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:51:39Chris.
00:51:41I'm sorry.
00:51:45I'm...
00:51:46Oh, you had a wipe out.
00:51:47It's demolition time!
00:51:49Oh, oh.
00:51:49Oh, wonderful.
00:51:51Oh, I hope you took pictures, Chris.
00:51:57Is this dump right here?
00:51:58It's about to be a pile of rubble.
00:51:59Let's go, boys.
00:52:04Woo!
00:52:12All right, great.
00:52:14You got a big bulldozer.
00:52:15But this house does not move.
00:52:17Not one brick.
00:52:18Move aside, Bell.
00:52:19Unless you want to get flattened out
00:52:20like a fucking pancake.
00:52:21And you're going to have to take me out.
00:52:27This house goes down.
00:52:29It's landing on top of me.
00:52:31How pathetic.
00:52:32He's going to martyr himself
00:52:33over a shithole.
00:52:34Well, at least that saves us
00:52:35the paperwork.
00:52:36What the fuck is it?
00:53:02What the fuck is it?
00:53:06Oh, if that bulldozer moves another inch,
00:53:10I will bury your little demolition racket
00:53:12in federal court.
00:53:15Kickbacks, forged bids,
00:53:17half of your payroll are ghosts.
00:53:19You don't think I see every wire transfer?
00:53:25This isn't over.
00:53:26Yes, it is.
00:53:28Walk.
00:53:32How sad.
00:53:34Yet another woman swooping in
00:53:38to rescue you.
00:53:41Come on, we're done here.
00:53:46I didn't want it to be like this.
00:53:48It doesn't have to be.
00:53:49If you just stay with me.
00:53:51Oh.
00:53:52What?
00:53:52So you can have another mistress?
00:53:55Look, I can explain all of this.
00:53:57Just, not yet.
00:54:00Oh, Mystery Man has some secret timetable, hmm?
00:54:03Hmm, maybe he's under an NDA.
00:54:06Let me translate for you, my dear.
00:54:09A man who has to explain
00:54:11is a man who is alive.
00:54:14You can do better than that.
00:54:15Okay.
00:54:17You want to know the truth?
00:54:18The truth is,
00:54:23Victoria is not my mistress.
00:54:25She works for me.
00:54:27She's Apex Group's fixer.
00:54:29And I'm the Queen of Monaco.
00:54:31She has no power.
00:54:32Your company is a laughingstock.
00:54:34It is a disgrace.
00:54:36Not only are you delusional,
00:54:37but you also think that we're a bunch of fools.
00:54:40Do you see the sickness in this?
00:54:41He has created this whole fantasy
00:54:44where he's still rich
00:54:45and his assistant is some kind of, uh,
00:54:49Tony Soprano.
00:54:50If that's true,
00:54:52why did you keep it for me?
00:54:55Why keep her a secret?
00:54:56Because she works in the shadows.
00:54:59And I couldn't...
00:55:02Oh, there it is.
00:55:04The sentence ends before the truth begins.
00:55:07So what?
00:55:08We're supposed to hang our livelihoods off of...
00:55:11Just...
00:55:12Just trust me, babe?
00:55:13He wants you to think
00:55:14it's a business relationship.
00:55:17But it's a cover
00:55:18for a sham,
00:55:19for an affair,
00:55:20for a bunch of lies
00:55:22that he thinks
00:55:23you are too stupid to see.
00:55:25I can't breathe.
00:55:27Don't!
00:55:27Just don't!
00:55:37I want to send you a moment.
00:55:41Well,
00:55:42on compensation first,
00:55:44let's do the calculations.
00:55:45Um, let's see.
00:55:46Reputational harm,
00:55:48employees lost,
00:55:49and, um,
00:55:50distressed.
00:55:50Oh, I was also very distressed.
00:55:53And you know what sounds good to me?
00:55:55Round numbers.
00:55:56You know,
00:55:57I think eight figures keeps it mean,
00:55:59but multiple aides keeps it fair.
00:56:02You owe us
00:56:03for what you cost us.
00:56:05Fuck off.
00:56:07Well, not till we get what we want.
00:56:09I tell you what,
00:56:09why don't you send us
00:56:10a cool 50 mil
00:56:11from one of those
00:56:12offshore accounts
00:56:13that we heard you have?
00:56:15Oh!
00:56:17You called the police.
00:56:20I did.
00:56:22We're not trespassing.
00:56:24This is my son-in-law's home,
00:56:26and we are reclaiming
00:56:27what is ours.
00:56:28Officer,
00:56:28I'd like to report
00:56:29on active burglary.
00:56:30No, no, no.
00:56:31You cannot arrest us.
00:56:32Sophia is still married to Chris,
00:56:34so his assets
00:56:35are community property.
00:56:37Sir,
00:56:38is this your residence?
00:56:41No.
00:56:42It belonged to my parents.
00:56:44Well then,
00:56:45consider it payback
00:56:46for the affair
00:56:47you've been having.
00:56:48It's so obvious.
00:56:49These two are sleeping together.
00:56:50Just look at that.
00:56:51Call me mistress one more time
00:56:52and triple your problems.
00:56:54Trespassing,
00:56:55burglary,
00:56:56slander.
00:56:57Okay, well,
00:56:57she didn't mean to.
00:56:58Too late.
00:56:59I'll be like orange.
00:57:00That'll be the only color
00:57:01in your closet
00:57:02for the next three to five years.
00:57:03Go ahead
00:57:06and arrest us.
00:57:07Parade us
00:57:07on the evening news
00:57:08and drag your boss
00:57:09through public humiliation
00:57:11and just see how
00:57:12the world reacts
00:57:13to this so-called
00:57:14affair you're having.
00:57:15I don't bluff.
00:57:17Wait, wait, wait.
00:57:18Please.
00:57:20Don't press charges.
00:57:21It's...
00:57:21It's my mom.
00:57:23My...
00:57:23My sister.
00:57:25I...
00:57:25If you spare them,
00:57:28I'll let Chris go.
00:57:29If you want him,
00:57:32you can have him.
00:57:32Just don't destroy my family.
00:57:34Sophia.
00:57:35I have never wanted him like that.
00:57:38I respect him.
00:57:38I'm his fixer,
00:57:39not his mistress.
00:57:40That's all.
00:57:42At least escort them
00:57:43off the premises.
00:57:44No.
00:57:45No need.
00:57:46A Donovan
00:57:47doesn't overstay
00:57:49their welcome.
00:57:49Hmm.
00:57:50Hey, Sophia.
00:57:58Come on.
00:58:00Listen.
00:58:01I can make it up to you,
00:58:02okay?
00:58:04Promise.
00:58:05I might have to start small,
00:58:07but I don't know.
00:58:09From the car
00:58:09that you were talking about,
00:58:10I'll get it for you
00:58:11tomorrow.
00:58:12Chris,
00:58:12you can't afford it.
00:58:15Why do you keep
00:58:16trying to do this?
00:58:17It's not the reason
00:58:20why I married you.
00:58:24I promise you
00:58:26I'm going to make this right.
00:58:29Trust me.
00:58:43It's beautiful.
00:58:45It certainly is.
00:58:47It's yours.
00:58:49If you want it.
00:58:51If you can't afford it,
00:58:52sweetie,
00:58:53maybe don't touch.
00:58:55Lil,
00:58:55look at what the cat
00:58:56dragged in.
00:58:57Chris Bell.
00:58:59Professional failure.
00:59:00And the girl dumb enough
00:59:01to still believe in him.
00:59:03Hi, Lauren.
00:59:03What are you doing here?
00:59:05This car starts
00:59:07at 100K.
00:59:09This isn't
00:59:10a selfie museum.
00:59:11We were just
00:59:11looking.
00:59:13At what?
00:59:13Your reflections?
00:59:15You can't afford
00:59:16the merchandise.
00:59:16Babes,
00:59:17remember what I said.
00:59:19The poor
00:59:19come to luxury rooms
00:59:20like tourists
00:59:21at the zoo.
00:59:22They gawk
00:59:23and stare
00:59:24and then they leave.
00:59:28What color would you like?
00:59:32The pearl.
00:59:33I've always liked white.
00:59:35I've always liked white.
00:59:36Still playing billionaire.
00:59:38I saw the headlines.
00:59:39Apex,
00:59:40bankrupt,
00:59:41fraudulent,
00:59:41blah, blah.
00:59:43You went from visionary
00:59:44to vision.
00:59:45Tell you what,
00:59:46if you're real nice,
00:59:48we'll let you sit
00:59:49in the backseat
00:59:50so you can smell
00:59:50the upholstery.
00:59:51We need two.
00:59:55White and black.
00:59:58With the fastest
00:59:58trim on both.
01:00:00Oh, baby.
01:00:01Look at that.
01:00:02Performance theater.
01:00:04Start the paperwork.
01:00:05Use crayons.
01:00:06Oh.
01:00:07Use my card.
01:00:09Chris.
01:00:10It's fine.
01:00:13This is going to be fun.
01:00:15Hear that, babes?
01:00:23That's the sound
01:00:24of desperation.
01:00:25It's so sad.
01:00:27Maybe it's a
01:00:28system issue.
01:00:32The system works fine
01:00:33for people with money.
01:00:35Okay.
01:00:36Just run a manual
01:00:37authorization.
01:00:39It says there's
01:00:39insufficient funds.
01:00:41Breaking news.
01:00:45The Apex Group
01:00:46Emperor has no clothes
01:00:48and no credit,
01:00:50apparently.
01:00:51Honey,
01:00:52there are plenty
01:00:54of great used lots
01:00:55in the Valley
01:00:56and they have
01:00:56free coffee, too.
01:00:57Just call your supervisor.
01:00:59Enable the corporate rails.
01:01:01Corporate rails?
01:01:03Someone learned
01:01:03a new phrase on TikTok.
01:01:05Cute shade.
01:01:07Is this a black diamond
01:01:09or the Party City edition?
01:01:10All right.
01:01:13Thanks.
01:01:15Where'd you get those?
01:01:17Out of a claw machine
01:01:18at Chuck E. Cheese?
01:01:19Counterfeit's a crime.
01:01:21It's slick.
01:01:22Call your manager.
01:01:24Now.
01:01:24And you two.
01:01:26You should be very scared.
01:01:28Not of me,
01:01:29but of your boss
01:01:30when he finds out
01:01:31who you've been insulting.
01:01:32We run this floor.
01:01:34Keep talking.
01:01:35Maybe we'll get you
01:01:36a complimentary keychain
01:01:37on the way out.
01:01:38Chris, are those real?
01:01:40They certainly are.
01:01:41What's the problem here?
01:01:43Mr. Stone,
01:01:45perfect timing.
01:01:46This broke customer
01:01:48is trying to buy a vehicle
01:01:49with a dead stack of plastic.
01:01:52Those are those.
01:01:54Those would be mine.
01:01:56It looks like your terminal
01:01:57is refusing corporate authorization.
01:02:02Terminal two?
01:02:04Enable bank direct?
01:02:05Wait a minute.
01:02:09This isn't just Black Diamond.
01:02:10This is...
01:02:11Supreme Tier.
01:02:14Only a few exist.
01:02:16Run it.
01:02:18Now!
01:02:18Pin, sir?
01:02:28Of course.
01:02:37My apologies, Mr.
01:02:39Bell.
01:02:41Mr. Bell.
01:02:42Welcome.
01:02:43I do apologize
01:02:45that you weren't recognized
01:02:46sooner
01:02:47and on behalf of my salespeople
01:02:49who are complete incompetent...
01:02:51It must be a mistake.
01:02:53No, it's no mistake.
01:02:54I want both of you off my floor.
01:02:56Let's head to the detail bay.
01:02:57I've got a couple of cars
01:02:58that need to wash.
01:02:59You were just trying
01:03:01to protect the dealership.
01:03:02By insulting the IV.
01:03:05And his lovely wife.
01:03:07Mrs. Bell,
01:03:08I sincerely apologize.
01:03:11In this showroom,
01:03:12we take pride
01:03:13in excellence
01:03:13and discretion.
01:03:15We failed you both today.
01:03:18Mr. Stone, please.
01:03:19This man is not a VIP.
01:03:20He's a bankrupt lizard.
01:03:21If I'm gonna take back
01:03:22what I said,
01:03:23you're both fired.
01:03:26You can't do that!
01:03:27I'm your top salesperson!
01:03:29Correction.
01:03:29You were.
01:03:30Marriage is a liability.
01:03:31Oh, this is crazy.
01:03:33So it is approved once?
01:03:35I mean, it's a glitch.
01:03:38This is a glitch.
01:04:02Mr. Stone,
01:04:03we were only trying
01:04:04to do our job.
01:04:05He's a con man.
01:04:06Haven't you seen the headlines?
01:04:07Maybe you shouldn't listen
01:04:08to everything you read
01:04:09on the internet.
01:04:11Sophia,
01:04:12we were high school classmates.
01:04:14Please, say something.
01:04:16You were awful to me
01:04:17back then, too.
01:04:19You always will just be the same.
01:04:23You think standing next to him
01:04:24makes you a somebody?
01:04:26All it makes you
01:04:27is the plus one
01:04:28to a worthless nobody.
01:04:30When the money dries up,
01:04:31and it will,
01:04:32you'll be the one
01:04:33hoarding food stamps
01:04:35and this is all he's hiding
01:04:35from the debt collector.
01:04:37I've heard enough.
01:04:38Security,
01:04:39let's fork these two.
01:04:42You can play rich all you want,
01:04:44but we know exactly
01:04:45what you are.
01:04:45Nothing!
01:04:50Get him out of here.
01:04:55Chris,
01:04:56how can you afford
01:04:58all these cars?
01:05:01Oh.
01:05:03The rumors about
01:05:04my company's death
01:05:05may be
01:05:06premature.
01:05:08Look,
01:05:08I can't explain it.
01:05:11Just,
01:05:11not yet.
01:05:15I need you to trust me.
01:05:18Just,
01:05:19a little while longer.
01:05:20Okay?
01:05:22I won't let you die.
01:05:23Hey Vic.
01:05:32Yeah?
01:05:34Oh,
01:05:35I'm ready.
01:05:36It's time to finish
01:05:37what we started.
01:05:40Langford Capital's hosting
01:05:42a shareholder meeting
01:05:43tomorrow at 3 p.m.
01:05:45I'm going to be making
01:05:46a surprise keynote.
01:05:48What are you up to?
01:05:51Let's bring the whole family.
01:05:53Make sure you sit
01:05:54in the front row.
01:06:02Security's in its place.
01:06:03The press is in the pen.
01:06:05The exit route
01:06:05is the service corridor
01:06:06in case anyone in the room
01:06:07gets feral.
01:06:08They won't.
01:06:09Prepare for the
01:06:10worst case scenario.
01:06:12And after?
01:06:13After you can breathe.
01:06:15Maybe apologize
01:06:16to the one person
01:06:17who deserves it.
01:06:23Even if she never
01:06:28forgives me,
01:06:29the truth is simple.
01:06:31I did this for us.
01:06:32Good afternoon,
01:06:48ladies and gentlemen.
01:06:49Thank you for coming.
01:06:51Before we begin today,
01:06:52I'd like to make
01:06:53an announcement.
01:06:55Today,
01:06:56Langford Capital
01:06:56has protected
01:06:57its future
01:06:58by joining forces
01:07:00with Baron Holdings.
01:07:05Hey, wait up.
01:07:06Hey!
01:07:07I was serious
01:07:08back there,
01:07:09alright?
01:07:09With Apex Group
01:07:10crashing and burning,
01:07:11the future could be ours.
01:07:13Merge with Langford Capital.
01:07:16We could bury
01:07:17our competition.
01:07:19We'd be unstoppable.
01:07:20You see, my dear?
01:07:28Well, Derek
01:07:29is building an empire.
01:07:31Your husband
01:07:32is circling
01:07:33the drain.
01:07:34You chose wrong, darling.
01:07:37Looking forward
01:07:37to today's agenda.
01:07:38The first thing
01:07:39we will do
01:07:39is be looking at
01:07:40last quarter's
01:07:41financial results.
01:07:43This is going
01:07:44to...
01:07:44Isn't that...
01:08:00Chris Bell?
01:08:01I heard he was
01:08:02homeless and bankrupt.
01:08:05Oh, God.
01:08:05He's about to
01:08:06humiliate himself again.
01:08:08Oh, God.
01:08:09Maybe they'll
01:08:09catch it on camera.
01:08:11Chris Bell.
01:08:12Crashing my party.
01:08:14Bold move.
01:08:15Pointless.
01:08:17But bold.
01:08:18You don't belong
01:08:19in this room.
01:08:20You said it yourself.
01:08:22You're toxic.
01:08:23Correction.
01:08:25I own this room.
01:08:26And it's not
01:08:27the only thing
01:08:28that I own.
01:08:29What are you
01:08:30babbling on about?
01:08:32I own
01:08:32Baron Holdings, too.
01:08:36That's insane.
01:08:38Impossible.
01:08:39Not possible.
01:08:41Calculate.
01:08:42You see what?
01:08:43Derek was busy
01:08:44gloating about
01:08:45my supposed
01:08:45bankruptcy.
01:08:47Apex Global
01:08:48quietly built
01:08:49a shadow position
01:08:50in Baron Holdings.
01:08:51So by the time
01:08:52he poured the champagne
01:08:54and whispered
01:08:54sweet mergers
01:08:55in Marina's ear,
01:08:57I already owned
01:08:58her board.
01:08:59So,
01:09:00when Langford
01:09:02merged with Baron
01:09:03just this morning,
01:09:05guess who's
01:09:05controlling vote
01:09:06dictated
01:09:07the choice?
01:09:08Derrick,
01:09:12that merger
01:09:13that you bragged
01:09:14about,
01:09:15it wasn't
01:09:16your crowning move.
01:09:17It was my end game.
01:09:21It wasn't
01:09:22your crowning move.
01:09:23It was my end game.
01:09:24Baron swallowed
01:09:25Langford whole
01:09:26and since I
01:09:27own Baron,
01:09:28that makes me
01:09:29majority shareholder
01:09:31in vote,
01:09:31which means,
01:09:32Derrick,
01:09:33I'm not crashing
01:09:35your meeting.
01:09:37I'm running it.
01:09:39That can't be true.
01:09:41We saw the bankruptcy
01:09:42filings.
01:09:43He is bluffing.
01:09:44He has to be bluffing.
01:09:45It's pathological.
01:09:47He's such a liar.
01:09:48You're finished.
01:09:50Effective
01:09:50immediately.
01:09:52You can't do that.
01:09:53I just
01:09:53did.
01:09:55And Marina,
01:09:56that cushy seat
01:09:58next to him,
01:09:59well,
01:09:59that's gone too.
01:10:00Fortunately,
01:10:01you aligned yourself
01:10:02with the wrong savior.
01:10:03Now,
01:10:04you both
01:10:04report to me.
01:10:06In fact,
01:10:06let's make it official.
01:10:08Derrick Langford
01:10:09and Marina Baron,
01:10:11you both
01:10:12are
01:10:12terminated.
01:10:15I own the board.
01:10:18I own the board.
01:10:20And now,
01:10:22I own you.
01:10:25I'm sure you all
01:10:48are wondering why
01:10:49I let the world
01:10:50think I was finished.
01:10:51why I let
01:10:53everyone write
01:10:54my obituary
01:10:55while I just
01:10:56sat by quietly.
01:10:59Because when
01:11:00the predators
01:11:00start to circle,
01:11:02you don't
01:11:03raise a red flag.
01:11:05Play dead.
01:11:07You let them
01:11:08think that
01:11:09they've already
01:11:10won.
01:11:11But I
01:11:12ain't
01:11:12the first one of them.
01:11:14Because if I didn't,
01:11:16they certainly
01:11:16would have.
01:11:17They weren't
01:11:18just eyeing a marriage
01:11:19between Langford
01:11:20and Baron.
01:11:22They were
01:11:23coming for
01:11:23Apex, too.
01:11:25Every seat,
01:11:26every share.
01:11:28And when the dust
01:11:29settled,
01:11:30they would have
01:11:30left us
01:11:31with absolutely
01:11:31nothing.
01:11:33While you're
01:11:34making confessions
01:11:34to your wife,
01:11:36you might as well
01:11:36tell her everything.
01:11:38Including
01:11:39our affair.
01:11:40You hear
01:11:42that,
01:11:43Soph?
01:11:44Your knight
01:11:44in shining armor
01:11:45is actually
01:11:46just another
01:11:46cheating bastard.
01:11:47So what,
01:11:48huh?
01:11:48You're
01:11:49torturing our
01:11:50family and then
01:11:50humiliating our
01:11:51sister?
01:11:52Look,
01:11:53I already
01:11:54told you.
01:11:55This guy's
01:11:56a poison.
01:11:57Tell me
01:11:58it's not true.
01:12:00You already
01:12:01know the answer
01:12:02to that.
01:12:03Of course
01:12:04it's not.
01:12:06She's
01:12:06desperate.
01:12:07Don't
01:12:08torture yourself,
01:12:09sweetheart.
01:12:10Remember
01:12:10the documents
01:12:11you signed
01:12:12before the
01:12:13wedding?
01:12:13I am
01:12:14sure
01:12:14they are
01:12:15an Iron
01:12:16clan
01:12:16prenup.
01:12:17I bet
01:12:18every dollar
01:12:19that he
01:12:19shielded his
01:12:20stake with
01:12:20Apex Global
01:12:21so you'll be
01:12:22left with
01:12:22nothing either
01:12:23way.
01:12:24It's funny
01:12:24that you
01:12:25bring up
01:12:25those documents.
01:12:32Go on.
01:12:34Read it.
01:12:36Out loud.
01:12:37This isn't a
01:12:42prenup.
01:12:43Of course
01:12:43it is.
01:12:44Don't be
01:12:44blind.
01:12:45You're
01:12:45not a
01:12:45lawyer,
01:12:46Sophia.
01:12:47I'm sure
01:12:47he tricked
01:12:48you into
01:12:48giving away
01:12:49everything.
01:12:50It's a
01:12:51transfer of
01:12:52controlling
01:12:52interest.
01:12:54Chris made
01:12:55the majority
01:12:55shareholder
01:12:56of Apex Global
01:12:57before the
01:12:59wedding.
01:12:59She's worth
01:13:06$80 billion
01:13:07which makes
01:13:08her the
01:13:09richest person
01:13:09in this room.
01:13:15Sophia,
01:13:16sweetheart,
01:13:17we were
01:13:19wrong.
01:13:20We just
01:13:20didn't
01:13:21understand.
01:13:22Look,
01:13:22we're idiots.
01:13:23Oh yeah,
01:13:23you know
01:13:23that we
01:13:24were here
01:13:24and everything
01:13:26that we did.
01:13:27I mean,
01:13:27stupid maybe,
01:13:28but it's a
01:13:29family.
01:13:30Sophia,
01:13:31please,
01:13:32now listen,
01:13:33we are on
01:13:34our knees.
01:13:35Please,
01:13:36we're only
01:13:37looking out
01:13:37for your
01:13:37best.
01:13:39Sweetheart,
01:13:40sweetheart,
01:13:41after everything
01:13:42we did for
01:13:43you,
01:13:44you owe us.
01:13:46We are
01:13:47your flesh
01:13:48and blood
01:13:50and we
01:13:52need your
01:13:52help.
01:13:52We don't
01:13:53need much,
01:13:54just
01:13:54a billion
01:13:58or two.
01:14:00I just
01:14:00after everything.
01:14:01I finally
01:14:02see the truth.
01:14:04Chris believed
01:14:05in me
01:14:05when no one
01:14:05else did.
01:14:12And I choose
01:14:13him.
01:14:15Soph,
01:14:15I'm sorry
01:14:18I had to hide
01:14:18this from you,
01:14:20but trust me
01:14:21when I say
01:14:21I did this
01:14:23for us
01:14:24it was truthfully
01:14:26the only merger
01:14:28that ever really
01:14:29mattered
01:14:30was you and me,
01:14:31Soph.
01:14:33I love you.
