00:02Celine, we are late to our company's $50 million open house.
00:05Is your makeup really more important?
00:07I'm just trying to look good for you, sweetheart.
00:09Spare me.
00:11Our marriage contract ends this month.
00:14You can stop pretending.
00:23I can call a tow truck.
00:30Okay, see that little grease pit over there?
00:33You're gonna walk over there in your expensive heels and figure it out.
00:40You want my signature on the divorce agreement, right?
00:53Hi.
00:54How fast can you fix my car?
01:00We don't exactly keep those parts laying around.
01:05Maybe my nephew can help us.
01:06Hey, Knox!
01:41What, uh, seems to be the problem, Corey?
01:48She's sitting right out there in that broke-down Mercedes.
01:52Look, I know you've probably never seen a car that nice.
01:55It might be worth even more than this shop.
02:00Well, she lacks a lot of attention.
02:04Are you talking about me? Or the car?
02:08The engine.
02:10So you know how to fix it.
02:13Well, that depends.
02:17On what?
02:19If you ask us nicely.
02:25Alright.
02:29Please, can you help?
02:34Somebody made you walk all the way down here in them heels.
02:49I thought you had me waiting so long for some shop boy.
02:54You waited this long just to throw some shade?
02:59Drop the hood.
03:01Wait, the hood?
03:04Toss me the damn keys.
03:27She's worth more than your bloodline.
03:30So how long is this going to take?
03:32Just a couple minutes.
03:33Just a couple minutes.
03:34More if you keep talking.
03:37So you got a name?
03:39Knox.
03:40Sure you're not trying to profit off the name of the failed Knoxwood Empire?
03:55Start it.
04:13Oh my gosh, thank you.
04:15How much do we owe you?
04:18Nothing.
04:19Just the chance to work on one of these is enough.
04:23Jackson.
04:26Oh, um.
04:35Selene.
04:39And I'm still late.
04:41Let's get the fuck out of here, alright?
04:52That's gotta be the snobbiest couple we've ever had.
04:56Yeah.
04:57Good thing we don't live that billionaire lifestyle no more.
05:00Hmm.
05:07Victor, you've outdone yourself.
05:09This listing is magnificent.
05:11Oh, well.
05:12I couldn't have done it without my queen.
05:14To the woman who made this all so effortless.
05:22Honey, you shouldn't have.
05:26You have motor oil on your shoes.
05:32Is that why he took so long in the shop?
05:34On your knees, begging for a discount?
05:50Maybe my next wife will be more deserving of that necklace.
05:54I tried so hard to make this marriage work.
05:57My family got what I needed from yours.
06:00You?
06:02You're just a receipt.
06:10My wife is so rich.
06:11I'm gonna make her choice.
06:13It's a gift.
06:14It's a gift.
06:17My husband is so rich.
06:17I'm so rich.
06:18Oh, my.
06:19I'm so rich.
06:21Oh, my.
06:22The shit.
06:30I'm so rich.
06:37I'm so rich.
06:37I'm so rich.
06:37What are you doing here?
06:38Working.
06:42You always make house calls?
06:45You always answer the door like that.
06:48Like what?
06:52Celine.
06:56Knox, didn't expect you to show up on time.
07:00Must be your influence.
07:03If you can handle the G-Wagon,
07:05I trust you can handle my Lambo, right?
07:08Sure thing, boss.
07:10It's not back by sundown.
07:12I'll hunt you for sport.
07:14Yeah, don't worry about it.
07:16Turn on the GPS for you.
07:17Make it easy.
07:20Have a good morning, Celine.
07:27Already on a first-name basis.
07:30No, we're not.
07:36We're very excited about the North Valley redevelopment, but the zoning is still unclear.
07:43Um, the zoning was going to be grandfathered in from the original paperwork.
07:48Victor was going to-
07:49But Celine was going to handle the permitting.
07:56We'd like to empower our women to lead, don't we?
08:00Of course.
08:01But this needs to be sorted out.
08:03Fast.
08:04Well, Celine will head down there right now.
08:08She'll handle this for us.
08:09Don't worry.
08:11I'd be delighted.
08:39Come on.
08:51You ever think about getting air conditioning in here?
08:58You ever think about wearing flats?
09:03Work boots don't sell real estate.
09:06You know, I think it's more than just the shoes making the sale.
09:12We're working a property down the road.
09:14I thought I'd check on the car.
09:20Almost finished.
09:22Go ahead and hang out wherever you like.
09:25I'm going away.
09:30Okay.
09:52When I said hang wherever you like, the back office wasn't included.
10:17Sorry, I didn't know.
10:33I didn't know.
11:07Look what you did.
11:18The car should be ready in five.
11:38Is he always that quiet?
11:43Only when he likes him.
11:46How long has he worked here for?
11:49Long enough to forget who he once was.
11:52Who was he?
11:53I'm Knoxwood.
11:56Shit, Jake.
11:58Come on.
12:00It hurts, man.
12:01Come on.
12:02Let's go.
12:03I'll drive you.
12:06Shop's closed.
12:09Sweet little Elvis all no fain in it.
12:13Me too.
12:20Mrs. Beaumont.
12:21Always nice to see you.
12:24Long morning.
12:26Yeah, just catching up on a few details.
12:29I hate to point it out, but it looks like the catching up got a little bit messy.
12:37She's always been a little hands-on.
12:41Isn't that right, sweetheart?
12:42We like to be thorough.
12:45Shall we?
12:46Mm-hmm.
12:53You show up late, covered in filth, make me look small in front of her?
12:59Victor, I was working.
13:00Clearly not hard enough to get my signature on the divorce agreement.
13:03I already earned my freedom from you, Victor.
13:05And every cent of what you owe me.
13:08You know what?
13:08Your work is my assistant.
13:11That's an apology to me.
13:13Get my dry cleaning, finish the contracts.
13:17That's if you still want my signature.
13:44Well, she's still in one piece.
13:47And your friend from today?
13:49Stubborn as hell.
13:51He'll survive.
13:56You doing okay?
13:59Just had a long day.
14:01Seems you've been having quite a few of those in a row.
14:06Do you always carry it this well?
14:08You get used to it.
14:23Well, you all try not to break this one, alright?
14:28No promises.
14:30Well, then I guess I'll be seeing you again.
14:53No promises.
14:54Well, then I guess I'll be seeing you again.
14:56I finished it three hours ago.
14:58It's on your desk.
14:59Well, then get my dry cleaning for tonight.
15:02I've got a date with a Winston heiress.
15:04That wasn't on your calendar?
15:06Well, that's not business.
15:08It's a pleasure.
15:09Their family owns half the city and it would do well for the Beaumont name if I marry her next.
15:16You're already courting your next wife.
15:19Why not just end our contract if that's the case?
15:21Because legally, you're still mine.
15:25I was hoping you would see me, Victor.
15:27Not just as your name, not just for our deal.
15:33That must be our little shop boy ready to tune up the Mercedes for tonight's impression.
15:38Yeah.
15:46Ha, ha, ha!
15:48There he is!
15:55Alright, and you will bring it back here tonight, yeah?
15:59You got plans with it?
16:01Dinner with a beautiful woman.
16:04Taking the missus out.
16:07Please, a real woman.
16:10One worthy of my company.
16:12You would disrespect a good woman like that.
16:15What'd you say?
16:24I said, you need to treat Celine with more respect.
16:31Women like that aren't loved.
16:34They're least.
16:37Focus on the car.
16:39Not my wife.
16:54The Winstons are bringing another suitor to dinner after everything I laid out for them.
16:58I guess she found out who she was being sold off to.
17:03What, you're still clinging onto your payout from her marriage contract?
17:06I earned it, Victor. Every cent.
17:09I gave up my life to buy time for my father.
17:12You knew that when you offered me this arrangement.
17:14You will get your shares when I say that's what we agreed on.
17:18I signed up to save my father's life.
17:21And because I thought maybe I could build something real in the process.
17:27And now he's dead.
17:29And you will never find love.
17:36Where the hell is Knox with my car?
17:40Go get it.
17:42If it's not out in my driveway in ten minutes, you'll never see that payout that you earned.
18:15I didn't think I'd be fine.
18:17Back here again
18:21Didn't think you'd come here alone
18:27I figured you could use a break from all the noise
18:45Do you work on all your client's cars, shirtless?
18:52Maybe just the ones showing up here in heels and lipstick
19:02You're not here for the car
19:09What if I am?
19:13I'd be disappointed
19:36I would like to show up for you
19:38What's in the 90s?
19:41Oh
19:41What are you doing?
19:50Let's go.
20:21Let's go.
20:23Let's go.
20:25Let's go.
20:49I don't know what you see in me.
20:54Someone real?
20:58But you barely know me.
21:00Why would you want someone weak like me?
21:03Does anybody know you?
21:05I thought he used to.
21:09But our marriage, it was never even real.
21:14Well, it was just another business deal.
21:24My father couldn't run our family business after he got sick.
21:31And we didn't have enough money for his treatments anymore.
21:37So I entered a marriage contract.
21:43Giving away my name, my father's business, and my freedom.
21:55You gave up everything for someone you love.
22:04That ain't weakness, Selene.
22:08That's strength most people don't know about.
22:30Let him wait.
22:34His wife's busy.
23:00You really cost me.
23:05They couldn't rush the service for us.
23:08The Winston girl chose another suitor.
23:11They drove off together in his Aventador.
23:13I don't even have an Aventador.
23:17I'm sorry.
23:19You just lost half your payout.
23:21I gave up more than you could ever pay me.
23:28Let's just have to earn it back.
23:40Selene, I have a meeting for the tech merger in two minutes.
23:43Don't bother me unless someone is dead.
23:46I have a meeting for you again.
23:54You again?
24:05Thought you could use something cold
24:18You know, I could get used to this kind of service
24:27So, how do you know an engine is happy?
24:32Happy?
24:34Yeah, like running, right?
24:36Or you don't even have to look, you just know
24:42Well, it's got a certain rhythm to it
24:47You know, the way it breathes
24:51You just feel it
25:01You ever felt anything like that?
25:12Go upstairs
25:17Why?
25:22Because that's where I'm going to show you
25:23I'll be there
25:39Who's going to show you
25:42You're welcome
25:45You're welcome
26:04Selene, if you're nervous, I mean, we don't have to.
26:11No, I don't want you to stop.
26:33Does he ever touch you like this?
26:47Lie back.
26:48No.
26:49No.
26:53No.
26:59No.
27:02No.
27:05No.
27:06No.
27:15No.
27:17No.
27:18No.
27:19No.
27:19No.
27:27No.
27:31No.
27:33No.
27:35No.
27:51Yes, Jeffrey, I know.
27:53It's all part of our agreement.
28:14It's all part of our agreement.
28:51It's all part of our agreement.
28:54Bitch, shut the fuck up.
28:56What?
28:57Sorry, Jeffrey, it's nothing.
28:59I'll call you back.

39:09I'd like to talk to the owner.
39:22He wants a scene.
39:23It's a power game.
39:26Then let him see who he's playing with.
39:28Wow.
39:29Your place is really running on fumes, Raymond.
39:34Are you looking for a mechanic or just to rattle some cages?
39:37Depends who's in the cage.
39:40Something I can help you with?
39:43Knox.
39:43Knox.
39:46Wow.
39:46I thought I'd have to send a tow truck to come get you.
39:49No.
39:50We don't break down as easy as your cars.
39:55Tough talk for the man whose roof I'm about to own.
39:58So what's all this chest-puffing bravado really about, huh?
40:02I think you know.
40:04Oh, yeah?
40:05What do you tell me?
40:13You abused her.
40:16Wow.
40:17Jackson Knoxwood.
40:19All grown up.
40:20Daddy's lost boy.
40:21Here to save the town slut.
40:25I could snap your frame in half.
40:29No lift.
40:30No tools.
40:33Just me.
40:36I'm going to turn this shithole into a parking lot.
40:40And I'm going to finish what my father started.
40:43You ain't built for this fight.
40:53Fuck this.
40:58Jax, I don't feel so good.
41:02Uncle Ray?
41:05Uncle Ray?
41:10Is he okay?
41:11Uncle Ray, hey.
41:12Hey, hey.
41:13Stay with me.
41:15You always were dramatic, boy.
41:18Don't scare me like that, old man.
41:20Come on.
41:21Raymond, you should really rest.
41:25It's not my heart.
41:27It's the shop.
41:30This place is the last piece of our name.
41:33That bastard's going to wipe it out of existence.
41:35No.
41:37He won't.
41:38We fight for our name.
41:41And for what they took from us.
41:45And for her.
41:49She's not his to own.
41:53Let's take the Beaumont Empire down.
42:09Tonight matters.
42:10The mayor's here.
42:11Investors.
42:12Our future are together.
42:14I know.
42:15Then pretend like you still love me.
42:17Be proud to wear your name.
42:19Tonight, you'll get the perfect show.
42:23And tonight, we are happy to announce the Beaumont Holdings' newest acquisition.
42:29The North Valley Corridor.
42:31None of which could have been done without the help of my darling wife, Celine.
42:37Thank you, baby, for always standing by my side.
42:41You're right, Victor.
42:42I have stood by your side.
42:46Through the lies, humiliation, and the threats.
42:49But I'm done performing.
42:51If legacy is what matters to you, then tonight, let's rewrite one.
42:56Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Jackson Knoxwood.
43:01The lost heir to the Knoxwood Empire.
43:13The lost heir to the Knoxwood Empire.
43:30The Beaumont family tried to bury my name.
43:34I ain't here to beg for your respect.
43:38I'm here to reclaim what was stolen.
43:43What?
43:44This is pathetic.
43:45You think you can just put on a suit and everyone's gonna believe you?
43:48I don't need them to believe me.
43:51I just need them to remember me.
43:54And they will.
43:59You are beneath me.
44:02You don't belong in this room.
44:03You're nothing but a filthy rat.
44:23Jackson, is it true?
44:25Will you be reviving the Knoxwood Industries?
44:28We're just getting started.
44:47This wasn't a merger.
44:48It was a robbery.
44:51Reading a bedtime story.
44:54That's my favorite chapter.
44:56It's all here.
44:58Your family stole everything.
45:03Get out of my house.
45:31What's this?
45:54Jacks, Dick you're reading this.
45:57It means I wasn't strong enough to win back what they stole.
46:02But maybe you can be.
46:05I wish I could see the man you've become.
46:09I know you still have your mother's heart.
46:13Just remember one thing for me.
46:16You're at Knoxwood.
46:19You're the last one left.
46:21But maybe that makes you the strongest of us all.
46:27Love you, kid.
46:29Love you, kid.
46:29Everett.
46:30Everett.
46:31You left me a goodbye.
46:36When I wasn't even old enough to understand it.
46:44He built Knoxwood from nothing.
46:47When he partnered with the Beaumonts.
46:50They didn't just steal his patents.
46:53They stole the life from him.
46:56I remember coming home from school.
46:58They said he had a stroke.
47:03But he left a note next to a design on his desk.
47:10And he said he can't watch his legacy die while he still had breath in him.
47:26Jax, he built something lasting.
47:29And you.
47:31You're already doing what he asked.
47:33Even if you didn't see it until now.
47:35I hated myself.
47:39For not living up to his legacy.
47:43For not knowing his pain.
47:46And I've been hiding here in this garage like he's all I was good for.
47:51You're not hiding.
47:53You're healing.
47:55And fighting back.
47:57I'm making sure they don't bury another name again.
48:02Not mine.
48:04Not yours.
48:17We'll talk on the record.
48:18Everything.
48:19We have everything that we need to expose him.
48:24I'll send the documents over.
48:30Sounded serious.
48:31Reporter from the Herald.
48:33She wants to break the story for us.
48:35Laying out everything Victor has done.
48:39You really don't.
48:40You really don't.
48:40It's scary easy do ya?
48:52I cut the engine.
48:53We have orders from Mr. Beaumont to gut this place by noon.
48:57This is private property.
48:59Y'all are trespassing.
49:00Not anymore pretty boy.
49:05Anyone else want a piece of Knox Otto?
49:08Huh?
49:09Alright stop.
49:18Alright stop.
49:20If you touch one more inch of this shop I will have you all arrested for criminal trespassing.
49:25Look we're just following orders lady.
49:27Well then you can follow them back up that hill.
49:29If you want this shop you provide the proper documents so that you can acquire it.
49:33Otherwise get lost.
49:37We'll be back.
49:39Are you hurt?
49:43Not as much as him.
49:48Victor is getting desperate.
49:52Keep him on his heels.
50:02She said she'd be here by five.
50:04You think she got cold feet?
50:08Or got bought.
50:13Look if she doesn't show we go public ourselves.
50:17That's not how this works.
50:19If we move too early he'll spin it.
50:21Make us look like nobodies.
50:23We ain't nobodies anymore.
50:26We ain't nobodies anymore.
50:51Hope you weren't waiting on your little reporter.
50:54She's not coming.
50:55You paid her off.
50:56Well I simply offered her the truth.
50:59Run the story.
51:00She'll never work again.
51:04Own your little defense of the shop.
51:07Who's cute.
51:08But my men won't be held back forever.
51:11You ain't touching the shop Victor.
51:13No matter how many men you bring with you.
51:16Darling.
51:17You've had your fun.
51:19Now come home.
51:20With me.
51:21I'm not yours to own.
51:23I'm not yours to own.
51:24Come back with me now.
51:25Or I'll bring you back myself.
51:28Or I'll bring you back myself.
51:28I won't threaten her anymore.
51:30I'm just getting started.
51:37We go public.
51:39Tomorrow.
51:43Mr.
51:44Nox.
51:48What proof do you have of the stolen legacy?
51:54For years Victor Beaumont has paraded himself as a visionary.
51:59But in reality he's just a tyrant.
52:01Who built his empire on stolen ground.
52:04Ground that once belonged to my family.
52:06Now the Nox would name used to mean something.
52:09My father built it with his hands.
52:12With his mind.
52:15Everything he had.
52:16In this folder.
52:19You can see.
52:20How the is going?
52:29Oh.
52:31What?
52:34What?
52:54I just want her home safe, and whoever has her, please just talk to me face to face.
53:11I'm waiting.
53:16Well, that was a shitty award speech.
53:19He wants me to go to him.
53:23It's a trap.
53:24So what are you going to do?
53:28Go anyway.
53:30Want to come?
53:32I'm about as useful as the screen door on a submarine.
53:35You know what to do.
53:37What's that?
53:39Give that boy a country ass-whipping.
53:56Finally, some peace.
53:59You were always so loud with your little dreams.
54:04Now you're as quiet as a prayer.
54:12But I do miss the sound of your voice.
54:17Come on, sweetheart.
54:19Say something.
54:26Why the hell are we guarding a dinner party?
54:28Stop complaining.
54:29Plus, there's no one in the room.
54:47Yeah, I'm not on the guest list.
54:55I hate you.
54:56I think it's time you eat.
54:59We have to rebuild trust, right?
55:04Ah, ah, ah.
55:05Not so fast.
55:07Selene, we were doing so well.
55:10I will never love you.
55:11But you'll never leave me, either.
55:19To us.
55:30Dinner's over.
55:39The mechanic.
55:42Why'd you break in here with a wrench?
55:44Back away from her.
55:46You're too late, Knox.
55:48She chose me.
55:49He's lying.
55:50I know, Selene.
55:52Just hold tight.
55:53I'm gonna kill this piece of trash.
55:56Like my father killed his.
56:10Jackson?
56:11Are you okay?
56:20Never better.
56:33Now that's the country ass whooping.
56:39I thought I lost you.
56:42You'll never lose me.
56:45Or get me out of this place.
56:46For good.
57:02In the stunning aftermath of the Beaumont scandal,
57:05former mogul Victor Beaumont has been formally charged with conspiracy,
57:09abduction, and corporate fraud.
57:11It would appear that the long-buried Knoxwood family conspiracy has been exposed,
57:15and the rightful heir, Jackson Knoxwood, is ready to revitalize the fallen empire.
57:21Well, I'll be.
57:22From oil stains to headlines.
57:29Well, if it isn't the first lady of Knox Auto.
57:33Don't start with me, Ray.
57:35I'm here to work.
57:37That's just what I'm afraid of.
57:38More work.
57:40I've got rebrand consultants and merger meetings lined up for Knoxwood Industries.
57:45Where's our CEO?
57:48Where he always is.
58:04So this is where the CEO hides all day.
58:09I wasn't hiding.
58:11I was waiting.
58:13For what?
58:16My favorite distraction.
58:27I can't distract you for too long.
58:30I've got a legacy to rebuild.
58:33Unless we build it together.
58:39Right after I take you for a ride.
58:41Bye.
58:42Bye.
58:44Bye.
58:52Bye.
59:18You
