00:04:52I'm gonna have to pay for this whole fucking thing.
00:04:57I tried to warn you.
00:04:58Chris was never the man he said he was.
00:05:00You don't have to go home to that deadbeat bum.
00:05:03You deserve better.
00:05:04You deserve someone who can actually take care of you.
00:05:06Not now, Derek.
00:05:08I just got married.
00:05:10Just think about it.
00:05:11You and me, we always made more sense.
00:05:16Sophia!
00:05:30Well, it worked.
00:05:31Still feels like I'm putting a knife in her back.
00:05:33No one can know that Apex is broke.
00:05:35Not even Sophia.
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 shareholder meeting.
00:05:49And when it lands, Derek won't know what hit him.
00:05:56I can't tell her yet.
00:05:57Not until the takeover is complete.
00:06:00And our future is secure.
00:06:02And our future is secure.
00:06:16You have some nerve walking in here.
00:06:19This is Sophia's home.
00:06:22She's my wife.
00:06:23Wife?
00:06:23You tricked her.
00:06:25You tricked all of us.
00:06:27You brought gifts.
00:06:27Like, that makes you a part of this family?
00:06:29Well, I thought since we'll be spending some time together...
00:06:32This is rich.
00:06:34Correction.
00:06:34Not rich.
00:06:35More like bankrupt.
00:06:37You think money is the most important thing, but it's not.
00:06:40Chris is a good person.
00:06:41He's honest and he treats me with respect.
00:06:44All right.
00:06:45Well, let's see what you brought us anyway.
00:06:47Just a couple tokens of my appreciation, Charlotte.
00:06:51I'm aware you like a nice glass of red before bed.
00:06:53So I got that from you.
00:06:55And Jack, this is a very rare book.
00:06:57I thought it would be good for your collection.
00:07:01Books?
00:07:02He brought us books?
00:07:03What 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.
00:07:09It's the same value.
00:07:12Not even French.
00:07:14California.
00:07:15This is bottom shelf swill.
00:07:20You know, I got that from a small vineyard.
00:07:23I thought you would appreciate the backstory.
00:07:26The backstory?
00:07:27We love stories.
00:07:28Like 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.
00:07:36You're so funny.
00:07:46Burns well.
00:07:47Look at that.
00:08:06You have some nerve walking in here.
00:08:10This is Sophia's home.
00:08:12She's my wife.
00:08:13Wife?
00:08:14You tricked her.
00:08:15You tricked all of us.
00:08:17You brought gifts?
00:08:18Like that makes you a part of this family?

00:09:27You're so funny.
00:09:36Burns well.
00:09:37Look at that.
00:09:48Thank you, gentlemen.
00:10:00Nice.
00:10:01That's looks really...
00:10:03That seat is for family.
00:10:06What?
00:10:06He can sit at the end if he's so desperate to eat.
00:10:10I hope you don't mind scraps, champ.
00:10:12That's usually all that's left over when it gets to the end of the table.
00:10:14Especially after you.
00:10:15Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah.
00:10:20Sofia.
00:10:22You know, you could still get an annulment tonight.
00:10:26Tonight.
00:10:28Oh.
00:10:28My dear, that is a brilliant idea.
00:10:30You know, I still have Judge Wagner on speed dial.
00:10:33I'll just give him a call.
00:10:34I bet he would be here in about ten minutes.
00:10:36Mom, please.
00:10:37What?
00:10:37Just put your phone away.
00:10:40Fine.
00:10:41But I don't see the point in waiting.
00:10:43Okay, everyone.
00:10:44To my beautiful Sofia.
00:10:46You deserve the world.
00:10:49But instead, you got a pathetic drifter.
00:11:00Looks good.
00:11:01Is this...
00:11:02Cab?
00:11:03Hey.
00:11:04Handsome.
00:11:05Bottoms up.
00:11:09Bottoms up.
00:11:18I guess I should've gone with the white.
00:11:22Butterfingers.
00:11:24Would you all give it a rest already?
00:11:26Whoa.
00:11:27Excuse me.
00:11:28You brought him into our home.
00:11:30And the next thing you know, he's eating our food, fucking our sister, and asking for gas money.
00:11:38That is not a son-in-law.
00:11:40It's a parasite.
00:11:41Don't talk about my husband like that.
00:11:43He doesn't even have the guts to defend himself.
00:11:53Just eat.
00:11:55Please.
00:12:02What do you think you're doing?
00:12:09Sofia hasn't eaten much, so I thought I'd...
00:12:11Oh, the pauper is trying to play the provider now.
00:12:16Maybe your wife just lost her appetite because she married a stone bro shitheel.
00:12:22Don't strain yourself, Chris.
00:12:24You might pull a muscle trying to lift this chunk of protein.
00:12:27You know, Chris, the good food is for people that contribute.
00:12:31Not you, princess.
00:12:41Bon appetit.
00:12:47You sit under this room, eating our food, moving in, and freeloading.
00:12:52What is it, exactly, that you bring to the table?
00:12:56Well, for one, I married your daughter.
00:13:05And what, you think that makes you automatically a part of this family?
00:13:10You think that marrying Sofia is some kind of gift to us?
00:13:13It's not a gift.
00:13:14It's a burden.
00:13:16It's a liability.
00:13:17It's a state.
00:13:18Please, Mom.
00:13:19No, let him hear it.
00:13:20You want to be part of this family, then?
00:13:22You need to know your place.
00:13:23Because you're nobody's son-in-law.
00:13:25You're just a dog that we let in the back door.
00:13:30So go ahead, kid.
00:13:32Eat up.
00:13:33Woof, woof.
00:14:00That's a good boy.
00:14:09You know, Sun Tzu says, patience is the key to victory.
00:14:13And I am a very patient man.
00:14:17Look at this guy.
00:14:18I mean, he doesn't even fight back.
00:14:19Not a word.
00:14:20It's because he knows it's true.
00:14:22He's nothing, just a worthless halfwit.
00:14:25And to think, my daughter is married to a man who can't even afford to buy her flowers,
00:14:29let alone put a roof over her head.
00:14:31Well, what do we have here, huh?
00:14:33With a happy bride and her poor little groom.
00:14:37Derek, what a surprise.
00:14:39Well, you certainly have a hop in your step.
00:14:42Indeed I do.
00:14:43Langford Capital just secured a quarter of a billion dollars in financing.
00:14:47Record profits.
00:14:49We're expanding faster than any other company on the market.
00:14:51Oh my god, a quarter billion?
00:14:53That's incredible.
00:14:55Oh, and we're just getting started.
00:14:56By next spring, Langford Capital will be the biggest and the best private equity fund in the country.
00:15:02Especially with Apex Groups circling the drain.
00:15:05Isn't that right, Chris?
00:15:10Imagine if Sophia married Derek.
00:15:13I think about that.
00:15:15Every single day.
00:15:16Mom, you were thrilled when I married Chris this morning.
00:15:18Yes, I was.
00:15:19But secretly, I was hoping you'd end up with Derek.
00:15:24I'll tell you what, family sticks together.
00:15:26Tom, we're hiring brilliant minds over at Langford Capital.
00:15:29And I have just the position for you.
00:15:31How about head of the Strategic Wealth Fund?
00:15:37You hear that?
00:15:38That is what a son-in-law does.
00:15:41He builds.
00:15:42He protects.
00:15:43He provides.
00:15:45And he doesn't lie to you.
00:15:48Sophia, it's not too late.
00:15:51You can still fix it.
00:15:55Just unknow the marriage and walk away.
00:16:00They already told you.
00:16:01I don't wanna hear it!
00:16:03And you...
00:16:05Well...
00:16:06Sign...
00:16:07This paper...
00:16:09And annul this marriage!
00:16:11Mom, please, sign it!
00:16:14You will not drag the Donovan family down with you, monster!
00:16:20Sign the divorce papers!
00:16:22And annul this marriage now!
00:16:27Imagine if Sophia married Derek.
00:16:30I think about that.
00:16:32Every single day.
00:16:34Mom, you were thrilled when I married Chris this morning.
00:16:36Yes, I was.
00:16:37But secretly, I was hoping you'd end up with Derek.
00:16:42I'll tell you what, family sticks together.
00:16:44Tom, we're hiring brilliant minds over at Langford Capital.
00:16:47And I have just the position for you.

00:16:55You hear that?
00:16:56That is what a son-in-law does.
00:16:59He builds.
00:17:00He protects.
00:17:01He provides.
00:17:03And he doesn't lie to you.
00:17:06Sophia, it's not too late.
00:17:09You can still fix it.
00:17:12Just unknow the marriage.
00:17:15And walk away.
00:17:16I already told you.
00:17:19I don't wanna hear it.
00:17:21I don't wanna hear it.
00:17:22You, Mel, sign this paper and annul this marriage.
00:17:29Mom, please, sign it!
00:17:31You will not drag the Donovan family down with you, monster!
00:17:37Sign the divorce papers!
00:17:40And unknow this marriage now!
00:17:53Jack!
00:17:55Oh my god!
00:17:56Jack!
00:18:00Somebody do something!
00:18:02Oh my god!
00:18:05You're texting while my father is having a heart attack?
00:18:08He's probably texting his side piece already.
00:18:10I have been worried about Jack for a long time,
00:18:12so for the past six months,
00:18:13I've been working with specialists at Apex to try to find a cure.
00:18:16Oh, right.
00:18:17Because Apex is some kind of, like, magic shop now.
00:18:19What's next, Chris?
00:18:20You're gonna try to sell us unicorn tears in a jar?
00:18:23You can laugh all you want,
00:18:24but this could be the only thing that can actually cure him.
00:18:26This isn't some medical breakthrough.
00:18:28This is all about your ego.
00:18:31Because you cannot stand the fact that we all know
00:18:33that you are useless,
00:18:35so you just make up fantasies.
00:18:38I mean, what is next, Chris?
00:18:40You're gonna sprinkle fairy dust on my father
00:18:41and tell us that he's healed?
00:18:43What, are you just gonna bring him over to the garage
00:18:45and hook him up to jumper cables?
00:18:46You're a fraud, and you always have been.
00:18:48If you lay a finger on him,
00:18:49you'll kill him faster than the disease itself.
00:18:54I've also been sending messages to someone who actually knows what they're doing.
00:18:58Dean Hargrove, chief of medicine over at Crestview Hospital.
00:19:02A real doctor with real credentials.
00:19:04And expensive.
00:19:06But he's worth it.
00:19:07Because unlike your made-up magical cure,
00:19:11he's not gonna kill my father.
00:19:12That's what a real son-in-law does.
00:19:15He is generous,
00:19:16and he is serious about families.
00:19:20Unlike this twisted truth, fucker.
00:19:23You think your limp dick husband is gonna compete with that?
00:19:26Please.
00:19:27This isn't a competition.
00:19:28I just want Jack to get better.
00:19:30It's not a competition.
00:19:33Oh.
00:19:34You just want Jack to get better, do you?
00:19:38Why don't you try this?
00:19:40Oh!
00:19:42Yay, finally some real entertainment.
00:19:45Yeah, maybe that'll shut him up.
00:19:46What is the matter with you?
00:19:47He is just a deadbeat grifter.
00:19:50He needs to get out of this house.
00:19:51Yeah, and he's as welcome as a turd in the family Punchbowl.
00:19:55Yeah, and the sooner you realize that,
00:19:56the sooner we can all move on.
00:20:01That must be Dr. Hargrove.
00:20:12Dr. Hargrove,
00:20:14Chief of Medicine at Bresview Medical.
00:20:16Only the best for my Jack and his family.
00:20:20Doctor, thank you so much for coming to our family.
00:20:23We know how precious your time is.
00:20:25When it comes to family health, nothing is more important.
00:20:28You hear that?
00:20:29Nothing's more important than family.
00:20:30A real doctor.
00:20:32Unlike your, uh, snake oil, hmm?
00:20:36So why don't you just take your lies
00:20:39and get the hell out of this house?
00:20:43Listen, I think they're too-
00:20:45I-I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
00:20:54Jack's condition has advanced.
00:20:56Oh my god.
00:20:57His lungs are weak.
00:20:59Circulation is very poor.
00:21:00He might only have a couple of weeks to maybe a few months.
00:21:04Oh my god.
00:21:04Right now I can only suggest palliative measures.
00:21:07Palliative?
00:21:08You mean there's-
00:21:09There's nothing medicine can do.
00:21:11I'm sorry.
00:21:12Just cherish the time that you still have with him.
00:21:15And you!
00:21:17Trying to use my father as a guinea pig for your Frankenstein cure!
00:21:21We're only gonna kill him faster!
00:21:25Dr. Hargrove, help him!
00:21:30He's crashing.
00:21:31We don't have time.
00:21:32I can't breathe.
00:21:33Do something if you are such a genius!
00:21:42Just in time.
00:22:05What is this circus?
00:22:10And what the hell is that?
00:22:11I built Apex on breakthroughs the rest of the world thought were impossible.
00:22:15This vial right here is the first drug of its kind developed by a team of specialists for one man's
00:22:20condition.
00:22:21Jack's.
00:22:22The old man needs a miracle, not some science fiction on a goddamn needle.
00:22:26Or this is his endgame.
00:22:29You kill him and then you inherit Sophia without all the trouble.
00:22:32Mm-hmm.
00:22:33You are not sticking that needle anywhere near my husband.
00:22:37Over my dead body.
00:22:38The old man needs a tree without age.
00:23:01Bernadette.
00:23:01They begin to release the gauges.
00:23:02The whole man left unbarnered the stars actually, the other one is even better can't be
00:23:07enfermated when they lost all fuels.

00:25:50Wow, Max, I think it's for a spin.
00:25:54You see, Chris?
00:25:56This is what a real son-in-law does.
00:25:58He provides status, toys, and joy.
00:26:03Boy's got a left foot on the pedal.
00:26:04I'm sorry, Chris.
00:26:06Everyone will come round.
00:26:07I'll make it up to yourself.
00:26:08Promise.
00:26:09Won't be like this for long.
00:26:11Face it, Chris.
00:26:12You could literally never get anything like this for your kid.
00:26:16Well, unless he found an abandoned one at the thrift store he shops at.
00:26:20Ooh, baby, look how fast he's going.
00:26:22That's my boy.
00:26:28Hey, Victoria.
00:26:30I need you to do me one more favor.
00:26:32This looks so cool.
00:26:34It's after me.
00:26:35Only the best for my boy.
00:26:36Oh, my boy.
00:26:39Whoa.
00:26:41It's like dangerous.
00:26:46Yeah?
00:26:47Arriving now, boss.
00:26:48Thanks, Vic.
00:26:50Quick announcement, everyone.
00:26:51I have a surprise for you all outside.
00:26:53Oh, yeah?
00:26:54What is it?
00:26:55A coupon for a half-off pizza?
00:26:57Maybe it's a pawn shop conca truck.
00:27:00No.
00:27:01That's something money can't buy.
00:27:07Okay.
00:27:08Max, come on.
00:27:09All right.
00:27:09Hey, let's go, Max.
00:27:11Let's go take this baby for a spin.
00:27:13Yeah.
00:27:17Look at it go.
00:27:18Let's go, Max.
00:27:20Oh, no.
00:27:21Oh, that has to be fake.
00:27:23No one would let a child play with something like that.
00:27:26What am I looking at?
00:27:27The fleet of top-of-the-line prototypes.
00:27:29Fully safe, fully licensed.
00:27:30The only one of its kind of the country.
00:27:32Do expect us to believe that he could afford to bring something like this to our house?
00:27:38It's pretty neat, huh?
00:27:39This is the coolest thing ever.
00:27:40Dad, can I have one?
00:27:41What?
00:27:42No, no.
00:27:43You know, Max, don't get too excited.
00:27:45Yeah.
00:27:45They're knockoffs.
00:27:47Cheap imports made to look expensive.
00:27:49It happens all the time.
00:27:50They're probably defective, sweetie.
00:27:52Max.
00:27:52Max.
00:27:52And yet, he parades it on my front lawn in some kind of pathetic attempt to convince
00:27:58us that he's some powerful big shot.
00:28:01Chris, how did you afford this?
00:28:04Must have cost millions of dollars.
00:28:06Yeah, Chris.
00:28:07Are you actually bankrupt or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:28:13Are you actually bankrupt or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:28:17Damn it.
00:28:18I overplayed my hand.
00:28:19Showing off a fleet of DARPA prototypes was a bad move.
00:28:24Uh, I didn't buy them.
00:28:26I borrowed them from a friend.
00:28:28They're on loan from a defense contractor I did some consulting for.
00:28:33Chris, you don't have to keep doing this.
00:28:35Trying to prove yourself to my family.
00:28:37Let them think whatever they want.
00:28:40The more they underestimate me, the better.
00:28:46I didn't see it before.
00:28:48Now, it's clear as day.
00:28:50You're a real con man, aren't you, Chris?
00:28:53Just squirreling away whatever scraps of money you can find and then just linging it at gadgets.
00:28:59Mom.
00:29:00No, Sonia.
00:29:01Look at us.
00:29:02My husband is sick.
00:29:03This house is bleeding us dry.
00:29:06And you, instead of improving her station in life, you just throw cash at toys.
00:29:13You disgust me.
00:29:14He didn't buy them.
00:29:16Then he took out a bunch of IOUs.
00:29:18Listen to me.
00:29:18When that company comes to collect, we are all in a lot of trouble.
00:29:25Are you actually bankrupt or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:29:29Damn it.
00:29:30I overplayed my hand.
00:29:32Showing off a fleet of DARPA prototypes was a bad move.
00:29:36I didn't buy them.
00:29:38I borrowed them from a friend.
00:29:40They're on loan from a defense contractor I did some consulting for.
00:29:46Chris, you don't have to keep doing this.
00:29:48Trying to prove yourself to my family.
00:29:50Let them think whatever they want.
00:29:52The more they underestimate me, the better.
00:29:58I didn't see it before.
00:30:00Now it's clear as day.
00:30:03You're a real con man, aren't you, Chris?
00:30:05Just squirreling away whatever scraps of money you can find and then just linging it at gadgets.
00:30:12Mom.
00:30:12No, Sonia.
00:30:13Look at us.
00:30:14My husband is sick.
00:30:15This house is bleeding us dry.
00:30:18And you, instead of improving her station in life.
00:30:23You just throw cash at toys.
00:30:25You disgust me.
00:30:27He didn't buy them.
00:30:28Then he took out a bunch of IOUs.
00:30:30Listen to me.
00:30:31When that company comes to collect, we are all in a lot of trouble.
00:30:37You know, I'm just going to say it.
00:30:39I'm not giving you a cent.
00:30:41I'm not going to be bankrolling my grifter of a brother-in-law who is just trying to hustle us
00:30:46all out of money.
00:30:47Listen, none of you need to pay anything.
00:30:50So if you don't pay, then who does?
00:30:52How does a skid row reject like you afford something like that?
00:30:55I don't have to pay either.
00:30:56So what?
00:30:58You just call in a favor at the Pentagon?
00:31:00Oh, you have DARPA on speed dial?
00:31:04Oh, wow!
00:31:05As a matter of fact, yes, I do.
00:31:10Anyway, it's none of your concern.
00:31:12You know, all this idle chit-chat, I completely forgot.
00:31:16You two need to sign the annulment papers.
00:31:19I'd be happy to take you as my wife.
00:31:21Sophia, you deserve a partner who can put a diamond on your finger and not dirt under your nails.
00:31:27It's time to move on from this charlatan.
00:31:30Sophia, why don't we just put an end to this and we can forget it ever happened.
00:31:53Sophia, don't let pride get in the way of you making the right decision.
00:31:58Sophia, he is not the same man that you married.
00:32:02No one would blame you.
00:32:03It's modern times, Soph.
00:32:05Nobody takes wedding vows seriously anymore.
00:32:07It's all free love, free marriage.
00:32:10You should trade up while you still can.
00:32:12We can go to the courthouse right now.
00:32:14We can get it all done tonight.
00:32:15An annulment, a marriage.
00:32:17Two for one.
00:32:18Enough!
00:32:19God!
00:32:21I am still right here.
00:32:23And if you keep insulting me and Sophia, don't be surprised if we walk out of here for good.
00:32:28Together.
00:32:30There it is.
00:32:31Anger.
00:32:32Typical impotent man's weapon.
00:32:34Violence and empty threats.
00:32:37Don't make it worse.
00:32:38Sophia, are you listening to what they're saying?
00:32:40They're trying to force us to annul our marriage.
00:32:44It's all talk.
00:32:45But they're just in shock.
00:32:47I'm not in shock.
00:32:48Tomorrow morning, Chris, you will take my daughter down to the courthouse and get an annulment
00:32:55and end this sham of a union.
00:32:57And I'll be right there to say I do.
00:33:02He thinks he's already won.
00:33:04But in less than 72 hours, Lankford Capital will belong to me.
00:33:10Your company going under wasn't the only bombshell I discovered.
00:33:13A little birdie told me that $100 million went missing from Apex Group's cash reserves.
00:33:18So you're a liar and a peep!
00:33:21And after I spilled the beans of Chris's bankruptcy, I got another tip.
00:33:26Apparently Apex Group's Fortune 500 cover boy supposedly rewired a massive loan from a Swiss bank to an offshore account.
00:33:35Oh, Chris!
00:33:37Have you no shame?
00:33:39That explains the miracle medicine and the military toys outside this house!
00:33:43It matches.
00:33:44All of it.
00:33:45Case closed.
00:33:47I knew it!
00:33:48You're not only worthless, but you are a criminal!
00:33:50Did you hear that?
00:33:51If I deliver you, a deadbeat fraud, to the authorities, I get a major reward.
00:33:56And could you imagine the headlines?
00:33:58And I would earn good favor with the president.
00:34:01His whole campaign was run on bringing down corporate corruption.
00:34:04I'd probably get invited to the White House.
00:34:06Derek, you're the fraud.
00:34:07Not me.
00:34:11Lock the doors.
00:34:13We need to make sure he doesn't make a run for it.
00:34:20Lock the doors.
00:34:22We need to make sure he doesn't make a run for it.
00:34:24He's still my husband.
00:34:25He's family.
00:34:26Family?
00:34:27If Chris gets arrested, it drags us all down.
00:34:31We want a $100 million debt tied to our family name.
00:34:33Who do you think the government's going to come after when Chris can't pay you?
00:34:37Oh my god!
00:34:38You're right, honey!
00:34:43Sophia?
00:34:44Honey?
00:34:45Listen to me.
00:34:46I don't owe anything.
00:34:51He's lying.
00:34:53Is he?
00:34:54Or have you been deceiving me all along?
00:35:01I don't owe anything to do.
00:35:02You know, from what I can tell, it's Chris telling the lies.
00:35:05You steal $100 million, you come to the house of an innocent family and you're flaunted?
00:35:09That is disgusting.
00:35:10You're a sick man!
00:35:11There is one way out.
00:35:12Annulment.
00:35:13Immediately.
00:35:15As long as Sophia cuts off these tithes, as long as the Donovan family draws clear lines,
00:35:20his debt dies with him.
00:35:22Sophia, I can still give you the future you deserve.
00:35:26With me.
00:35:33Yes!
00:35:34Divorce him!
00:35:35And then you can marry Derek!
00:35:38I mean, look at him!
00:35:39He has real power and real money!
00:35:43And then this family can rise instead of crashing with Chris!
00:35:48Why are you just standing around?
00:35:50Go on!
00:35:51Annul the marriage and ended with this fraud!
00:35:54Mom!
00:35:55He just lost his way for a moment.
00:35:57Oh no!
00:35:58Why are you still shielding him?
00:36:00I don't mind if the two of you want to sink, but you will not drown the Donovan family
00:36:06with you!
00:36:06He may be going through a rough path, but he's been good to me.
00:36:12I'll leave with him.
00:36:16We won't be your burden.
00:36:20Sophia, I will always protect you.
00:36:22I'll always make you happy, even if it's the last thing I do.
00:36:31Eric, please.
00:36:33Don't ruin it.
00:36:35You're still defending him?
00:36:36This cockroach of a man?
00:36:39For the sake of our pause, I'm begging you.
00:36:42Have mercy.
00:36:43Absolutely not.
00:36:44If he runs, the fallout comes back on us.
00:36:47Sophia, you are going to send me to an early grave!
00:36:52Here's what's going to happen.
00:36:55Yes!
00:36:56Divorce him!
00:36:57And then you can marry Derek!
00:37:00I mean, look at him!
00:37:01He has real power and real money!
00:37:05And then this family can rise instead of crashing with Chris!
00:37:10Why are you just standing around?
00:37:12Go on!
00:37:12Go on!
00:37:13Annull the marriage and ended with this fraud!
00:37:16Mom, he just lost his way for a moment.
00:37:20Why are you still shielding him?
00:37:22I don't mind if the two of you want to sink, but you will not drown the Donovan family with
00:37:28you!
00:37:28He may be going through a rough path, but he's been good to me.
00:37:34I'll leave with him.
00:37:38We won't be your burden.
00:37:42Sophia, I will always protect you.
00:37:45I'll always make you happy, even if it's the last thing I do.
00:37:53Eric, please.
00:37:55Don't ruin him.
00:37:57You're still defending him?
00:37:58This cockroach of a man?
00:38:01For the sake of our past, I'm begging you.
00:38:04Have mercy.
00:38:05Absolutely not.
00:38:06If he runs, the fallout comes back on us.
00:38:09Sophia, you are going to send me to an early grave!
00:38:14Here's what's going to happen.
00:38:17My security detail is waiting just outside for me.
00:38:20They come in, they haul Chris' ass down to Langford Capital.
00:38:23While he's sitting in the basement storage room, we'll have Sophia sign the annulment papers.
00:38:30Brilliant.
00:38:30You can teach this pawn scum a lesson.
00:38:33That's him.
00:38:34Taken.
00:38:34I dare you.
00:38:36Put one finger on me, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
00:38:40Big talk coming from a broke con man.
00:38:42I'll have you dragged out of here in cuffs, and the Donovan family will thank me.
00:38:47You're going to play this game?
00:38:49Go on, Derek.
00:38:50Make your move.
00:38:52Detain him, now!
00:38:55Oh, shit!
00:38:56Oh, my gosh!
00:38:58He's on the floor!
00:38:59He's on the floor!
00:39:02Oh, yes!
00:39:04Oh!
00:39:05Don't worry.
00:39:06Once they're through with him, you'll thank me for saving you.
00:39:10Sophia, remember.
00:39:12I did this for you.
00:39:15For us.
00:39:18Take him.
00:39:20Wait, stop!
00:39:21Stop!
00:39:31Go!
00:39:32After the bankruptcy leak, my board wants answers.
00:39:35You don't believe the rumors?
00:39:36Leaks can be planted.
00:39:37I don't buy for a second that Apex is broke.
00:39:40So this is a fact-finding mission.
00:39:42If the headlines are true, then we cut and run.
00:39:44But if not, this family may be sitting on a gold mine and not even realize it.
00:39:57Oh, my God!
00:39:58Oh, my God!
00:39:58Oh, my God!
00:39:58Oh, my God!
00:39:58Oh, my God!
00:39:58Oh, my God!
00:39:58Oh, my God!
00:39:59Oh, my God!
00:39:59I just saw a woman outside, and she looks an awful lot like Marina Barron.
00:40:03Barron?
00:40:04As in Barron Holdings?
00:40:05Are you sure?
00:40:06Yeah.
00:40:06I Googled her, and the pictures on the Google looked like the pictures of the woman who was standing
00:40:11outside.
00:40:11Don't you know what this means?
00:40:12She is the creditor.
00:40:13Come to reflect on the money that Chris stole!
00:40:15Oh, my God!
00:40:16We're so screwed, and Sophia is still legally tied to Chris if she connects the dots?
00:40:21That bastard!
00:40:21He's been dragging us down since day one.
00:40:23Are you happy now?
00:40:24What do we do?
00:40:24We can't let her in.
00:40:27She is the most powerful woman on the street.
00:40:29If we don't let her in, we look guilty.
00:40:31Okay, but, like, hear me out.
00:40:32Like, what if she's not here to collect on Chris's desk?
00:40:35Sweetheart, what?
00:40:36Don't be naive.
00:40:37Then, okay, here's what we do.
00:40:38We tell her that we kicked Chris out, and then we forced Sophia to sign the annulment papers,
00:40:43and we never touched a dime of his money.
00:40:45We should have gone to the courthouse hours ago.
00:40:47Hold on.
00:40:49Let me call my friend at the courthouse.
00:40:51Maybe he can backdate something for us.
00:40:53Yes.
00:40:53Daddy's got it.
00:40:55No.
00:40:56He isn't lying.
00:40:58He didn't steal a hundred billion dollars.
00:41:02Okay, Sophia, you look so demure right now, but my priority is protecting my family.
00:41:07He is my family.
00:41:09Well, then you need to decide.
00:41:11It's either him or us.
00:41:12I'm not signing anything today.
00:41:15Do you want to own us?
00:41:16You need to grow up.
00:41:17The world runs on money and power, and your husband has knight.
00:41:21Okay, this is what we're gonna do.
00:41:23We're gonna let her in.
00:41:24We're gonna smile.
00:41:25We're gonna be gracious, and we're gonna make it abundantly clear that we have cut ties with Chris completely.
00:41:31Completely.
00:41:31Dad needs you.
00:41:33If she asks about the marriage, you say it's already been annuled.
00:41:36Do you understand?
00:41:38I don't-
00:41:38You are not gonna drag us down with him.
00:41:42Elizabeth, game time.
00:41:44Game time.
00:41:44Ladder in.
00:41:47Okay, smiles.
00:41:50Oh, Miss Barron.
00:41:51What an honor.
00:41:53I believe your son-in-law works with one of our affiliate banks.
00:41:56I thought since I'm in town, I'd put a face to the name that I've heard such good things about.
00:42:02Tom Hayden, Assistant VP, Commercial Lending. Mentioned on our vendor list last year.
00:42:07Tom.
00:42:08It's a pleasure.
00:42:09Anything you need, you get my full attention.
00:42:12I appreciate that.
00:42:14Thank you, sweetheart.
00:42:16While I'm here, I thought I'd clear up a few questions that the market has been whispering about.
00:42:23Questions?
00:42:24Okay.
00:42:25Apex Group.
00:42:26If Chris Bell truly is at the helm, then the bankruptcy rumors don't add up.
00:42:31I know this was his last address on file.
00:42:35Is he here?
00:42:50Is he here?
00:42:52Chris, oh no, he is a loser who we kicked out and we cut ties with completely.
00:42:58You did what?
00:42:59And the marriage to our daughter.
00:43:02Beth's been annulled.
00:43:04He is no longer part of the family.
00:43:05Actually, he's a shit stain.
00:43:07And if he's in trouble, that's his problem.
00:43:10These idiots have no idea what they've done.
00:43:13Miss Barron, I don't think you understand.
00:43:17We despise him.
00:43:19And if we could cut him up into like tiny little itty bitty bite-sized pieces, we would.
00:43:26Excuse me, cut him to what now?
00:43:28Small pieces.
00:43:29And that's not all I would do.
00:43:31If I could, I would skin him alive.
00:43:34I would break every bone in his body.
00:43:37And then I would suck his blood dry.
00:43:43That's scary.
00:43:45He just never really knew his place.
00:43:48He clung to Sophia and then he used all of us.
00:43:51So you thought Chris Bell was not good enough to marry into this family?
00:43:55No.
00:43:57Bingo.
00:43:59Don't you worry, the world is better with him buried in a ditch.
00:44:02I'm sorry, where is he now?
00:44:07Derek's security detail took him to Langford capital.
00:44:11Yes.
00:44:11The guards have probably already beat him halfway to death.
00:44:13But don't worry, Miss Barron.
00:44:14I mean, none of us here feel sorry for him.
00:44:16And I think I speak on behalf of everyone on this couch when I say we'd all be a lot
00:44:20happier if they just finished the job.
00:44:25Is he here?
00:44:27Chris, oh no, he is a loser who we kicked out and we cut ties with completely.
00:44:33You did what?
00:44:34And the marriage to our daughter.
00:44:37That's been an old.
00:44:38He is no longer part of the family.
00:44:40Actually, he's a shit stain.
00:44:42And if he's in trouble, that's his problem.
00:44:44These idiots have no idea what they've done.
00:44:48Miss Barron, I don't think you understand.
00:44:52We despise him.
00:44:54And if we could cut him up into like tiny little itty bitty bite sized pieces, we would.
00:45:01Excuse me, cut him to what now?
00:45:03Small pieces.
00:45:04And that's not all I would do.
00:45:06If I could, I would skin him alive.
00:45:09I would break every bone in his body.
00:45:12And then I would suck his blood dry.
00:45:17It was scary.
00:45:20He just never really knew his place.
00:45:22He clung to Sophia and then he used all of us.
00:45:26So you thought Chris Bell was not good enough to marry into this family?
00:45:30No.
00:45:32Bingo.
00:45:34Don't you worry, the world is better with him buried in a ditch.
00:45:37I'm sorry, where is he now?
00:45:42Derek's security detail took him to Langford capital.
00:45:45Yes.
00:45:46The guards have probably already beat him halfway to death.
00:45:48But don't worry, Miss Barron.
00:45:49I mean, none of us here feel sorry for him.
00:45:51And I think I speak on behalf of everyone on this couch when I say we'd all be a lot
00:45:55happier if they just finished the job.
00:46:01You said that he was at Langford capital?
00:46:03Yeah, in the storage room in the basement.
00:46:05Derek wanted to take him to a place where nobody could hear him scream.
00:46:08Right.
00:46:09Yes.
00:46:10Oh.
00:46:11Congratulations.
00:46:13You just made the biggest mistake of your lives.
00:46:17What?
00:46:18Oh.
00:46:19What?
00:46:19I bet that sounds good.
00:46:21What the hell's our problem?
00:46:22Yeah, and why all of a sudden does she care about Chris and his well-being?
00:46:27No.
00:46:29She's sleeping with him.
00:46:30Oh, yes.
00:46:32Yes.
00:46:32Yes.
00:46:33Excuse me?
00:46:34I mean, why else would a woman like that care about financial corpses?
00:46:37Oh.
00:46:38It's all so clear now.
00:46:40The drones.
00:46:41The theatrics.
00:46:43Chris was trying to impress her.
00:46:45Baron Holdings, they protect their own.
00:46:46She's probably fun being on the side.
00:46:48Probably a lot more than that.
00:46:50Huh?
00:46:51Probably.
00:46:52That's true.
00:46:53And they're still entangled.
00:46:54We need to sever ties immediately.
00:46:57Tomorrow morning.
00:46:58No delays.
00:46:58The papers.
00:46:59Enough.
00:46:59Whoa.
00:47:01I won't be part of your gossip mill.
00:47:03Well, it's not gossip if it's obvious, Sophia.
00:47:05It's obvious that you'll do anything to make Chris look bad.
00:47:09Yeah.
00:47:10That's enough.
00:47:10As long as you are still married to him,
00:47:13our family is on the chopping block for his reckless failings.
00:47:17You are either too naive or too stupid to say it.
00:47:36Annulment papers.
00:47:38Sign them and we're done.
00:47:39You think this basement scares me?
00:47:42You have no idea what's coming.
00:47:52Good news, asshole.
00:47:54Your wife's family is ready to be reasonable.
00:47:58Then I guess I don't need to sign anything.
00:48:01Cute.
00:48:03Sign the goddamn papers.
00:48:06Oh, Derek.
00:48:07You keep taking my silence for surrender.
00:48:11This is your last chance, bro.
00:48:13Hmm?
00:48:14If you refuse, I'll buy Apex Group myself.
00:48:18And then I'll sell it for scraps like a junkyard car.
00:48:21Hmm?
00:48:23So what's it gonna be?
00:48:25Time's ticking.
00:48:28Derek.
00:48:31You can go straight.
00:48:34To hell.
00:48:37Make him regret that choice.
00:48:47This is gonna make you sign one way or another.
00:48:51Last chance to take the easy way out.
00:48:54What fun would that be?
00:49:02Oh, light him up like a Christmas tree.
00:49:05YAH!
00:49:11YAH!
00:49:13YAH!
00:49:14YAH!
00:49:18YAH!
00:49:19Is that all you got?
00:49:26YAH!
00:49:27YAH!
00:49:29YAH!
00:49:29YAH!
00:49:30YAH!
00:49:30YAH!
00:49:31Ugh!
00:49:36Sign it properly.
00:49:37Or I'll make sure that every...
00:49:39Every nerve in your body is fried, rendering you useless!
00:49:49Touch him again, and I'll make sure this entire building is on lockdown before sunrise.
00:49:54What the hell is this?
00:49:56Kidnapping? Extortion? Attempted murder?
00:50:01He's a fraud! And a liar! He's a two-bit Bernie Madoff hack!
00:50:06Whatever rumors you've heard about the ex-group, the story isn't adding up.
00:50:11Who the fuck are you?
00:50:14Marina Bourne.
00:50:17Baron Holdings.
00:50:20Shit. She's about to destroy my whole plan.
00:50:27Listen, Marina, I really appreciate what you're trying to do here, but he's right.
00:50:35I'm a fraud.
00:50:39I have multiple contacts, credible sources inside.
00:50:44They're wrong.
00:50:45Trust me.
00:50:47I'm toxic.
00:50:49You don't want anything to do with me.
00:50:52I must have been wrong about him.
00:50:55We should sit down and talk.
00:50:57I like the way you operate.
00:51:02We never see that Chris guy again.
00:51:04Me too. I don't think we will.
00:51:05I think we really scared him off last time.
00:51:08Oh my god! Look at the cat's rag, dude.
00:51:11Chris.
00:51:17You thought you'd get rid of me, huh?
00:51:20Well...
00:51:21I'm not dead yet.
00:51:25I have multiple contacts, credible sources inside.
00:51:30They're wrong.
00:51:32Trust me.
00:51:34I'm toxic.
00:51:36You don't want anything to do with me.
00:51:38I must have been wrong about him.
00:51:42We should sit down and talk.
00:51:43I like the way you operate.
00:51:48We never see that Chris guy again.
00:51:50Me too. I don't think we will.
00:51:51I think we really scared him off last time.
00:51:54Oh my god! Look at the cat's rag, dude.
00:51:58Chris.
00:52:03You thought you'd get rid of me, huh?
00:52:06Well...
00:52:08I'm not dead yet.
00:52:13Stay right there.
00:52:16Unbelievable.
00:52:17He just crawls right back into our home like a stray.
00:52:20Somebody should call animal control.
00:52:22No need. We can evict him ourselves.
00:52:26Tonight.
00:52:27We're good.
00:52:31Sophia.
00:52:35Look at me.
00:52:38No looks!
00:52:39You are not a husband.
00:52:41You are not a son-in-law.
00:52:43And you are not part of this family anymore.
00:52:47Tom?
00:52:48Show him the door.
00:52:50Oh, but don't let him step on the lawn because the gardener just planted my favorite flowers,
00:52:54and if he steps on them, we'll just be so obsessed.
00:52:56Of course I may.
00:52:57Alright.
00:52:58I know where the door is, Tom.
00:53:02Are you coming with me?
00:53:07Don't!
00:53:08You dare.
00:53:10Do you want to kill your father with the stress?
00:53:17Do you want that on your conscience?
00:53:27Chris, I'm sorry.
00:53:38Do you want that on your conscience?
00:53:44For every word.
00:53:46Every choice that you made today.
00:53:50Sure, whatever. Just put it in a greeting card.
00:53:52There's the door, Jim.
00:53:57I'm not giving up on this.
00:54:03Oh!
00:54:05Good riddance.
00:54:07Hey.
00:54:08Yeah?
00:54:09Someone's gonna need to change the locks.
00:54:12Okay, yes.
00:54:15You're welcome. I love you.
00:54:24It's me.
00:54:26Do it.
00:54:27All of them.
00:54:29I want each one of them begging for mercy.
00:54:34Oh.
00:54:34That's a cute one of Max.
00:54:37Oh, oh.
00:54:39Hello?
00:54:41Oh.
00:54:43Yeah.
00:54:44Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:54:47But I've...
00:54:47What do you mean effective immediately?
00:54:49I've headed that committee for three years.
00:54:51No, no, no.
00:54:51There has to be some mistake.
00:54:53I just closed the foot in the count.
00:54:54No, no, no, no.
00:54:55Wait, you can't...
00:54:55Revoke? No, I...
00:54:56Wait, wait, wait.
00:54:56You can't just restructure me out.
00:54:58I signed the promotion paperwork.
00:55:01Hello? Hello?
00:55:06Oh, my God.
00:55:08I was just fired.
00:55:10Me too.
00:55:11And they're rolling back my bonus reviewing irregularities.
00:55:16What just happened?
00:55:19It's Chris.
00:55:21The man is so toxic, he's taking us all down with him.
00:55:25Our brother-in-law's company is publicly outed as bankrupt and riddled with fraud, and then both of our careers
00:55:32just go up in smoke?
00:55:33That is not a coincidence.
00:55:36Wait a minute.
00:55:37So he shits the bed, and you two are collateral damage?
00:55:42Yes!
00:55:42You see?
00:55:43This is why I say sever ties.
00:55:47You don't know that Chris was the cause of this.
00:55:49Oh!
00:55:50Don't be naive.
00:55:51He makes enemies wherever he goes, and we are expected to foot the bill.
00:55:56We're not eating this.
00:55:58Not after everything.
00:55:59The city still owes on a demolition payout.
00:56:03Chris's childhood home is in the redevelopment zone.
00:56:07He is still owed a check for them tearing it down.
00:56:10So?
00:56:11We collect it as compensation for everything he put us through.
00:56:14Oh my god, you can't just take it.
00:56:16Watch us.
00:56:17We will file a claim through the executive loop, or whatever place, okay?
00:56:21By the time Chris figures out the money's gone, it's too late, it's ours.
00:56:25Yeah, we don't need to suffer for his incompetence.
00:56:29He will pay it out.
00:56:31Do it.
00:56:32Make him pay back every dollar he owes this family.
00:56:35That house is the only memory he has left of his parents.
00:56:40Well, he should have thought about that before he tanked his business and poisoned our names.
00:56:45I'll get the paper we're going.
00:56:47The county records office opens in the morning.
00:56:49Oh my god, you're so smart, babe.
00:56:51You're saving the day.
00:56:53You see?
00:56:55We take care of her.
00:56:58Got him.
00:56:59Any fucks with the Donovans!
00:57:07To anyone else, this is a run-down old house.
00:57:10But for me, it's home.
00:57:17Boss said you're the last holdout.
00:57:19Just sign the property over and no one gets hurt.
00:57:21This house is the last thing left of my parents.
00:57:24You want it?
00:57:26We're gonna have to tear it down with me in it.
00:57:32Oh, I knew Chris would be here.
00:57:36Get him to agree and that demolition payment is ours!
00:57:40It's his house.
00:57:41And our survival.
00:57:43Don't you see it?
00:57:45His mess has already cost us money, jobs, status.
00:57:49You'll get him to sign it over because you're a darling first.
00:57:54You can't do it.
00:58:06Sofia.
00:58:09Hi!
00:58:14Go on.
00:58:16Isn't there something you want to say to him?
00:58:24I'm sorry.
00:58:25To anyone else, this is a run-down old house.
00:58:27But for me, it's home.
00:58:34Boss said you're the last holdout.
00:58:36Just sign the property over and no one gets hurt.
00:58:38This house is the last thing left of my parents.

01:00:57Pretty pricey for someone who can't even afford lunch meat, huh?
01:01:00Those belong to my grandmother.
01:01:01Oh, well, then she should have taken them to the grave with her.
01:01:07These deadbeats sure know how to keep up appearances.
01:01:10Oh, wow. This is fancy.
01:01:12Tom, off the wall, in the bag now.
01:01:15Now, let me ask you, Chris, were your mom and dad kleptomaniacs?
01:01:20Oh, yes.
01:01:24Somebody was very busy in kindergarten art class.
01:01:27My mother made that, okay?
01:01:29That's the last thing I have of hers.
01:01:32Well, mom certainly wasn't Michelangelo.
01:01:42Oops.
01:01:47That was priceless.
01:01:51Well, uh, not anymore.
01:01:54Oh, oh, oh.
01:01:55Chris.
01:01:58I'm sorry.
01:02:02I'm with you.
01:02:03Well, you had a wipe at it.
01:02:04It's demolition time!
01:02:06Oh, wonderful.
01:02:11Oh, I hope you took pictures, Chris.
01:02:13Is this dump right here or is about to be a pile of rubble?
01:02:16Let's go, boys.
01:02:20Woo!
01:02:29All right, great.
01:02:30You got a big bulldozer.
01:02:32But this house does not move.
01:02:33Not one brick.
01:02:35Move aside, Bell.
01:02:36Unless you want to get flattened out like a fucking pancake.
01:02:40Then you're going to have to take me out.
01:02:44This house goes down.
01:02:45It's landing on top of me.
01:02:47Pathetic.
01:02:48He's going to martyr himself over a shithole.
01:02:51Well, at least that saves us the paperwork.
01:02:53Mm-hmm.
01:03:18What the fuck is it?
01:03:20What the fuck is it?
01:03:24If that bulldozer moves another inch, I will bury your little demolition racket in federal court.
01:03:31Kickbacks, forged bids, half of your payroll are ghosts.
01:03:36You don't think I see every wire transfer?
01:03:41This isn't over.
01:03:43Yes, it is.
01:03:44Walk.
01:03:48How sad.
01:03:52Yet another woman swooping in to rescue you.
01:03:57Come on, we're done here.
01:04:02I didn't want it to be like this.
01:04:04It doesn't have to be.
01:04:05If you just stay with me.
01:04:07Oh.
01:04:08What?
01:04:09So you can have another mistress?
01:04:11Look, I can explain all of this.
01:04:14Just...
01:04:15Not yet.
01:04:16Oh, Mystery Man has some secret timetable, hmm?
01:04:20Hmm, maybe he's under an NDA.
01:04:22Let me translate for you, my dear.
01:04:25A man who has to explain is a man who is alive.
01:04:30You can do better than that.
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:33You want to know the truth?
01:04:37The truth is, Victoria is not my mistress.
01:04:41She works for me.
01:04:43She's Apex Group's fixer.
01:04:45And I'm the Queen of Monaco.
01:04:47She has no power.
01:04:48Your company is a laughingstock.
01:04:50It is a disgrace.
01:04:52Not only are you delusional, but you also think that we're a bunch of fools.
01:04:56Do you see the sickness in this?
01:04:57He has created this whole fantasy where he's still rich, and his assistant is some kind
01:05:03of, uh, Tony Soprano.
01:05:06If that's true, why did you keep it from me?
01:05:11Why keep her a secret?
01:05:12Because she works in the shadows.
01:05:15And I couldn't...
01:05:18Oh, there it is.
01:05:20The sentence ends before the truth begins.
01:05:23So what?
01:05:24We're supposed to hang our livelihoods off and just, just trust me, babe.
01:05:29He wants you to think it's a business relationship, but it's a cover for a sham, for an affair,
01:05:36for a bunch of lies that he thinks you are too stupid to see him.
01:05:41I can't breathe.
01:05:43Don't, just don't.
01:05:54I want to send me a nomad.
01:05:57The truth is, Victoria is not my mistress.
01:06:01She works for me.
01:06:03She's Apex Group's fixer.
01:06:05And I'm the Queen of Monaco.
01:06:07She has no power.
01:06:08Your company is a laughingstock.
01:06:10It is a disgrace.
01:06:11Not only are you delusional, but you also think that we're a bunch of fools.
01:06:16Do you see the sickness in this?
01:06:17He has created this whole fantasy where he's still rich and his assistant is some kind of,
01:06:24uh, Tony Soprano.
01:06:26If that's true, why did you keep it from me?
01:06:31Why keep her a secret?
01:06:32Because she works in the shadows.
01:06:35And I, I, I couldn't.
01:06:38Oh, there it is.
01:06:40The sentence ends before the truth begins.
01:06:43So what?
01:06:44We're supposed to hang our livelihoods off of them.
01:06:47Just, just trust me, babe.
01:06:49He wants you to think it's a business relationship, but it's a cover for a sham, for an affair,
01:06:56for a bunch of lies that he thinks you are too stupid to see him.
01:07:01I can't breathe.
01:07:03Yo, just don't.
01:07:14I want to send me a number.
01:07:18Well, compensation first.
01:07:19Let's do the calculations.
01:07:21Um, let's see.
01:07:22Reputational harm, employees lost, and, um, distress.
01:07:26Oh, I was also very distressed.
01:07:28And you know what sounds good to me?
01:07:31Round numbers.
01:07:32You know, I think eight figures keeps it mean, but multiple aids keeps it fair.
01:07:37Yeah.
01:07:38You owe us for what you cost us.
01:07:42Fuck off.
01:07:43Well, not till we get what we want.
01:08:13I tell you what.
01:08:14Community property.
01:08:15Sir, is this your residence?
01:08:19No.
01:08:21It belonged to my parents.
01:08:22Well then, consider it payback for the affair you've been having.
01:08:27So obviously these two are sleeping together.
01:08:28Just look at them.
01:08:29Call me mistress one more time and triple your problems.
01:08:33Trespassing, burglary, slander.
01:08:35Okay, well, she didn't mean to.
01:08:36Too late.
01:08:37I'll be like orange.
01:08:39That'll be the only color in your closet for the next three to five years.
01:08:43Go ahead and arrest us.
01:08:45Parade us on the evening news and drag your boss through public humiliation and just see
01:08:50how the world reacts to this so-called affair you're having.
01:08:53I don't bluff.
01:08:55Wait, wait, wait.
01:08:56Please.
01:08:58Don't press charges.
01:09:00It's my mom.
01:09:02My sister.
01:09:04If you spare them, I'll let Chris go.
01:09:09If you want him, you can have him.
01:09:11Just don't destroy my family.
01:09:13Sophia.
01:09:13I have never wanted him like that.
01:09:15I respect him.
01:09:17I'm his fixer, not his mistress.
01:09:18That's all.
01:09:20At least escort them off the premises.
01:09:22No.
01:09:23No need.
01:09:25A Donovan doesn't overstay their welcome.
01:09:28Hmm.
01:09:35Hey, Sophia.
01:09:37Come on.
01:09:38Listen.
01:09:39I can make it up to you, okay?
01:09:42I promise.
01:09:43I might have to start small, but I don't know.
01:09:47The car that you were talking about, I'll get it for you tomorrow.
01:09:50Chris, you can't afford it.
01:09:53Why do you keep trying to do this?
01:09:57It's not the reason why I married you.
01:10:02Hey.
01:10:03I promise you, I'm going to make this right.
01:10:07Trust me.
01:10:21It's beautiful.
01:10:22It certainly is.
01:10:25It's yours.
01:10:27If you want it.
01:10:28If you can't afford it, sweetie.
01:10:30Maybe don't touch.
01:10:32Lil, look at what the cat dragged in.
01:10:35Chris Bell.
01:10:37Professional failure.
01:10:38And the girl dumb enough to still believe in him.
01:10:40Hi, Lauren.
01:10:41What are you doing here?
01:10:43This car starts at 100k.
01:10:47This isn't a selfie museum.
01:10:49We were just looking.
01:10:50At what?
01:10:51Your reflections?
01:10:52You can't afford the merchandise.
01:10:54Babes, remember what I said.
01:10:56The poor come to luxury rooms like tourists at the zoo.
01:11:00They gawk and stare and then they leave.
01:11:06What color would you like?
01:11:10The pearl.
01:11:11I've always liked white.
01:11:13Still playing billionaire.
01:11:15I saw the headlines.
01:11:17Apex, bankrupt, fraudulent, blah, blah.
01:11:20You went from visionary to vision.
01:11:23Tell you what, if you're real nice, we'll let you sit in the back seat so you can smell
01:11:28the upholstery.
01:11:31We need two.
01:11:33White and black.
01:11:35Put the fastest trim on both.
01:11:37Oh, baby.
01:11:38Look at that.
01:11:39Performance theater.
01:11:41Start the paperwork.
01:11:42Use crayons.
01:11:45Use my card.
01:11:46Chris.
01:11:47That's fine.
01:11:51This is going to be fun.
01:11:58Oof.
01:11:59Hear that, babes?
01:12:00That's the sound of desperation.
01:12:03It's so sad.
01:12:04Maybe it's a system issue.
01:12:10The system works fine for people with money.
01:12:13Okay.
01:12:14Just run a manual authorization.
01:12:16It says there's insufficient funds.
01:12:21Breaking news.
01:12:23The Apex Group Emperor has no clothes and no credit, apparently.
01:12:29Honey, there are plenty of great used lots in the valley, and they have free coffee, too.
01:12:35Just call your supervisor.
01:12:37Enable the corporate rails.
01:12:38Corporate rails?
01:12:40Someone learned a new phrase on TikTok.
01:12:43Cute shade.
01:12:44Is this a black diamond or the Party City edition?
01:12:48All right.
01:12:52We need two.
01:12:54White and black.
01:12:56Put the fastest trim on both.
01:12:58Oh, baby.
01:12:59Look at that.
01:13:00Performance theater.
01:13:02Start the paperwork.
01:13:03Use crayons.
01:13:04Awesome.
01:13:06Here's my card.
01:13:07Chris.
01:13:08That's fine.
01:13:12This is going to be fun.
01:13:20Hear that, babes?
01:13:21That's the sound of desperation.
01:13:24It's so sad.
01:13:25Maybe it's a system issue.
01:13:31The system works fine for people with money.
01:13:34Okay.
01:13:35Just run a manual authorization.
01:13:37It says there's insufficient funds.
01:13:42Breaking news.
01:13:44The Apex Group Emperor has no clothes and no credit, apparently.
01:13:50Honey, there are plenty of great used lots in the valley, and they have free coffee, too.
01:13:56Just call your supervisor.
01:13:58Enable the corporate rails.
01:13:59Corporate rails?
01:14:01Someone learned a new phrase on TikTok.
01:14:04Cute shade.
01:14:05Is this a Black Diamond or the Party City edition?
01:14:14Where'd you get those?
01:14:15Out of a claw machine at Chuck E. Cheese?
01:14:18Counterfeits of crime is slick.
01:14:20Call your manager now.
01:14:22And you two.
01:14:24You should be very scared.
01:14:26Not of me, but of your boss when he finds out who you've been insulted.
01:14:30We run this floor.
01:14:32Keep talking.
01:14:33Maybe we'll get you a complimentary keychain on the way out.
01:14:36Chris, are those real?
01:14:38They certainly are.
01:14:40What's the problem here?
01:14:42Mr. Stone.
01:14:43Perfect timing.
01:14:45This broke customer is trying to buy a vehicle with a dead stack of plastic.
01:14:51These are those.
01:14:52Those would be mine.
01:14:53It looks like your terminal is refusing corporate authorization.
01:15:00Terminal 2.
01:15:02Enable Bank Direct.
01:15:06Wait a minute.
01:15:07This isn't just Black Diamond.
01:15:08This is...
01:15:10Supreme Tier.
01:15:13Only a few exist.
01:15:15Run it.
01:15:16Now!
01:15:23Pin, sir?
01:15:26The floors.
01:15:35My apologies, Mr...
01:15:38Bell.
01:15:39Mr. Bell.
01:15:40Welcome.
01:15:42I do apologize that you weren't recognized sooner.
01:15:45And on behalf of my salespeople, we're a complete incompetent...
01:15:49It must be a mistake.
01:15:51No, it's no mistake.
01:15:52I want both of you off my floor.
01:15:54Let's head to the detail bay.
01:15:55I've got a couple of cars that need to wash.
01:15:57You were just trying to protect the dealership.
01:16:00By insulting the IV.
01:16:03And his lovely wife.
01:16:05Mrs. Bell, I sincerely apologize.
01:16:09In this showroom, we take pride in excellence and discretion.
01:16:13We failed you both today.
01:16:16Mr. Stone, please.
01:16:17This man is not a VIP.
01:16:19He's a bankrupt lizard.
01:16:19I'm going to take back what I said.
01:16:21You're both fired.
01:16:24You can't do that.
01:16:25I'm your top salesperson.
01:16:26Correction.
01:16:27You were.
01:16:28Marriage is a liability.
01:16:29Oh, this is crazy.
01:16:31So it is approved once.
01:16:33I mean, it's a glitch.
01:16:57This is a glitch.
01:17:00Mr. Stone, we were only trying to do our job.
01:17:02He's a con man.
01:17:03Haven't you seen the headlines?
01:17:05Maybe you shouldn't listen to everything you read on the internet.
01:17:08Sophia, we were high school classmates.
01:17:12Please, say something.
01:17:13You were awful to me back then, too.
01:17:17You always will just be the same.
01:17:20You think standing next to him makes you a somebody?
01:17:24All it makes you is the plus one to a worthless nobody.
01:17:28When the money dries up, and it will, you'll be the one hoarding food stamps while he's hiding from a
01:17:34debt collector.
01:17:34I've heard enough.
01:17:36Security, let's hoard these two.
01:17:39You can play rich all you want, but we know exactly what you are.
01:17:43Nothing!
01:17:47Get him out of here.
01:17:54Chris, how can you afford all these cars?
01:18:00Oh, the rumors about my company's death may be premature.
01:18:06Look, I can't explain it.
01:18:08It's not yet.
01:18:13I need you to trust me.
01:18:15Just a little while longer, okay?
01:18:19I won't let you down.
01:18:27Hey, Vic.
01:18:30Yeah?
01:18:32Oh, I'm ready.
01:18:34It's time to finish what we started.
01:18:38Langford Capital's hosting a shareholder meeting tomorrow at 3 p.m.
01:18:42I'm going to be making a surprise keynote.
01:18:46What are you up to?
01:18:48Let's bring the whole family.
01:18:50Make sure you sit in the front row.
01:19:00Security's in its place.
01:19:01The press is in the pen.
01:19:02The exit route is the service corridor, in case anyone in the room gets feral.
01:19:06They won't.
01:19:06Prepare for the worst-case scenario.
01:19:09And after?
01:19:10After you can breathe.
01:19:13Maybe apologize to the one person who deserves it.
01:19:24Even if she never forgives me, the truth is simple.
01:19:29I did this for us.
01:19:44Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
01:19:46Thank you for coming.
01:19:48Before we begin today, I'd like to make an announcement.
01:19:51Today, Langford Capital has protected its future by joining forces with Baron Holdings.
01:20:02Hey, wait up.
01:20:03Hey!
01:20:04I was serious back there, alright?
01:20:06With Apex Group crashing and burning, the future could be ours.
01:20:10Merge with Langford Capital.
01:20:13We could bury our competition.
01:20:16We'd be unstoppable.
01:20:22You see, my dear?
01:20:25Well, Derek is building an empire.
01:20:28Your husband is circling the dream.
01:20:31You chose wrong, darling.
01:20:34Looking forward to today's agenda.
01:20:36The first thing we will do is be looking at last quarter's financial results.
01:20:40This is going...
01:21:07Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
01:21:09Thank you for coming.
01:21:11Before we begin today, I'd like to make an announcement.
01:21:15Today, Langford Capital has protected its future by joining forces with Baron Holdings.
01:21:25Hey, wait up.
01:21:26Hey!
01:21:27I was serious back there, alright?
01:21:30With Apex Group crashing and burning, the future could be ours.
01:21:33Merge with Langford Capital.
01:21:36We could bury our competition.
01:21:39We'd be unstoppable.
01:21:45You see, my dear?
01:21:48Well, Derek is building an empire.
01:21:51Your husband is circling the dream.
01:21:55You chose wrong, darling.
01:21:57Looking forward to today's agenda.
01:21:59The first thing we will do is be looking at last quarter's financial results.
01:22:03This is going...
01:22:05This is going...
01:22:18Isn't that...
01:22:20Chris Bell?
01:22:21I heard he was homeless and bankrupt.
01:22:24Oh, God.
01:22:25He's about to humiliate himself again.
01:22:28Oh, God.
01:22:29Maybe they'll catch it on camera.
01:22:31Chris Bell crashing my party.
01:22:33Bold move.
01:22:35Pointless.
01:22:37But bold.
01:22:37You don't belong in this room.
01:22:40You said it yourself.
01:22:42You're toxic.
01:22:43Correction.
01:22:44I own this room.
01:22:46And it's not the only thing that I own.
01:22:49What are you babbling on about?
01:22:51I own Barron Holdings, too.
01:22:56That's insane.
01:22:58Impossible.
01:22:59Not possible.
01:23:01Calculating.
01:23:02You see, while Derek was busy gloating about my supposed bankruptcy, Apex Global quietly
01:23:08built a shadow position in Barron Holdings.
01:23:11So by the time he poured the champagne and whispered sweet mergers in Marina's ear, I already owned
01:23:18her board.
01:23:19So, when Langford merged with Barron just this morning, guess who's controlling vote dictated
01:23:28the terms?
01:23:31Derek, that merger that you bragged about, it wasn't your crown and root.
01:23:37It was my envy.
01:23:41It wasn't your crowning move.
01:23:43It was my endgame.
01:23:44Barron swallowed Langford whole, and since I own Barron, that makes me majority shareholder
01:23:50in vote, which means, Derek, I'm not crashing your meeting.
01:23:57I'm running it.
01:23:59That can't be true.
01:24:01We saw the bankruptcy filings.
01:24:03He is bluffing.
01:24:04He has to be bluffing.
01:24:05He's pathological.
01:24:07He's such a liar.
01:24:08You're finished.
01:24:10Effective, immediately.
01:24:12You can't do that.
01:24:12I just did.
01:24:14And Marina, that cushy seat next to him, well that's gone too.
01:24:20Fortunately, you aligned yourself with the wrong savior.
01:24:23Now, you both report to me.
01:24:25In fact, let's make it official.
01:24:28Derek Langford and Marina Barron, you both are terminated.
01:24:35I own Barron, I own Vote, and now, I own you.
01:25:07I'm sure you all are wondering why I let the world think I was finished.
01:25:11Why I let everyone write my obituary.
01:25:15Why I just sat by quietly.
01:25:19Because when the predators start to circle, you don't raise a red flag.
01:25:25Play dead.
01:25:26You let them think that they've already won.
01:25:31Why I made the first move?
01:25:34Because if I didn't, they certainly would have.
01:25:37They weren't just eyeing a marriage between Langford and Barron.
01:25:41They were coming for Apex, too.
01:25:44Every seat.
01:25:46Every share.
01:25:47And when the dust settled, they would have left us with absolutely nothing.
01:25:53While you're making confessions to your wife, you might as well tell her everything.
01:25:58Including our affair.
01:26:01You hear that, Soph?
01:26:03Your knight in shining armor is actually just another cheating bastard.
01:26:07So what, huh?
01:26:08You're torching our family and then humiliating our sister?
01:26:11Hmm?
01:26:12Look, I already told you.
01:26:14This guy's poison.
01:26:16Tell me it's not true.
01:26:20You already know the answer to that.
01:26:22Of course it's not.
01:26:25She's desperate.
01:26:26Don't torture yourself, sweetheart.
01:26:29Remember the documents you signed before the wedding?
01:26:32I am sure they are an Iron Clan prenup.
01:26:36Yeah, I bet every dollar that he shielded his stake with Apex Global.
01:26:40So you'll be left with nothing either way.
01:26:43Yeah, it's funny that you bring up those documents.
01:26:52Go on.
01:26:53Read it.
01:26:55Out loud.
01:27:00This isn't a prenup.
01:27:02Of course it is.
01:27:03Don't be blind.
01:27:04You're not a lawyer, Sophia.
01:27:06I'm sure he tricked you into giving away everything.
01:27:09It's a transfer of controlling interest.
01:27:14Crisinating a majority shareholder of Apex Global.
01:27:17Before the wedding.
01:27:19No!
01:27:20No!
01:27:22No, no, no, no!
01:27:23No!
01:27:24But she's...
01:27:25Worth 80 billion dollars, which makes her the richest person in this room.
01:27:29Oh my god.
01:27:34Sophia!
01:27:35Sweetheart!
01:27:36We were wrong.
01:27:39We just...
01:27:39We didn't understand.
01:27:41Look at us, we're idiots.
01:27:42Oh yeah, you know that we love you and everything that we did.
01:27:46I mean, stupid maybe, but it's a family.
01:27:49Sophia, please.
01:27:51Now listen.
01:27:52We are on our knees.
01:27:54Please.
01:27:55We're only looking out for your best interest.
01:27:58Sweetheart.
01:27:59Sweetheart.
01:27:59After everything we did for you, you owe us.
01:28:05We are your flesh and blood.
01:28:09And we need your help.
01:28:11We don't need much.
01:28:13Just a billion or two.
01:28:19After everything, I finally see the truth.
01:28:23Chris believed in me when no one else did.
01:28:31And I choose him.
01:28:34Soph.
01:28:36I'm sorry I had to hide this from you.
01:28:39But trust me when I say I did this for us.
01:28:44It was truthfully...
01:28:46The only merger that ever really mattered was you and me, Soph.
01:28:52I love you.
