00:00:22Everything we need for the next 72 hours, liquid, untouchable.
00:00:27Derek has already started moving against you.
00:00:30Lining up investors, whispering about Apex's collapse.
00:00:32He wants to destroy you, Chris.
00:00:35Exactly how I planned.
00:00:36You can't bait a shark without a little blood in the water.
00:00:39I've already sent over the forged balance sheets.
00:00:41The fake foreclosure notices.
00:00:42Enough evidence to convince the world that Apex is circling the drain.
00:00:45He'll think he scooped everyone.
00:00:46Good. Give him what he wants.
00:00:48The company on its knees.
00:00:50And while he gloats, we prepare the kill shot.
00:00:53The shareholder vote is in three days.
00:00:54When we move, Apex swallows laying for capital whole.
00:00:58And when the dust settles, Derek won't just lose the company.
00:01:02He'll lose everything.
00:01:08And when the dust settles, Derek won't just lose a piece of money.
00:01:13And when the dust settles, Derek won't just lose the company.
00:01:17No one doesn't see anything.
00:01:18Sorry.
00:01:19Oh!
00:01:19Oh, my God.
00:01:21How well are you!
00:01:25Oh, thank God!
00:01:28Lord, today we are blessed beyond measure.
00:01:31Not only because it is the day of your wedding,
00:01:33but because we are blessed with a son-in-law
00:01:34that is a CEO of Apex Group,
00:01:36a man of vision, a man of means.
00:01:38Billionaire who will protect our daughter
00:01:40and build our family legacy.
00:01:43Finally, the Donovan name will carry the weight that it deserves.
00:01:46To Sophia, and to a future where we will want for nothing.
00:01:56Do you, Sophia Donovan,
00:01:58pay Chris Bell to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:02:02I do.
00:02:04Then by the power vested in me,
00:02:07stop this wedding!
00:02:11Your billionaire groom is nothing but a fraud.
00:02:21Chris Bell, CEO of Apex Group.
00:02:25Right, try bankrupt-loose.
00:02:29That's right.
00:02:30Apex Group is ruined.
00:02:33Sophia, you're about to marry a penniless con man.
00:02:37And I have the proof.
00:02:43It can't be true!
00:02:44What is going on here?
00:02:45I think I'm going to be sick!
00:02:46Gentlemen!
00:02:49Gentlemen?
00:02:50Whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:02:51Wait!
00:02:53By order of accordance!
00:02:55Stop it!
00:02:55No!
00:02:56Move!
00:02:56You fraud!
00:03:00And property of the bank.
00:03:03No!
00:03:14Stop!
00:03:15That cake costs more than your salary!
00:03:42Is it really true?
00:03:49I hate lying to her, but she can't know the truth.
00:03:53Not yet.
00:03:56Yes.
00:04:01Wedding is just such a nightmare.
00:04:03I mean, what a waste of an open bar.
00:04:04I can get one martini!
00:04:05Embarrassing.
00:04:06I'm going to have to pay for this whole fucking thing.
00:04:09I tried to warn you.
00:04:10Chris was never the man he said he was.
00:04:12You don't have to go home to that deadbeat bump.
00:04:14You deserve better.
00:04:15You deserve someone who can actually take care of you.
00:04:17Not now, Derek.
00:04:18I just got married.
00:04:20Just think about it.
00:04:21You and me, we always made more sense.
00:04:25Sophia!
00:04:37Well, it worked.
00:04:37Still feels like I'm putting a knife in her back.
00:04:39No one can know that Apex is broke.
00:04:41Not even Sophia.
00:04:43And there's a bonus.
00:04:44She stays with you on your penniless.
00:04:45You'll know she truly loves you.
00:04:46She's not a test, Victoria.
00:04:48She's my wife.
00:04:49A little hostile takeover.
00:04:50We just need to wait 72 hours until the shareholder meeting.
00:04:53And when it lands, Derek won't know what hit it.
00:04:58I can't tell her yet.
00:05:00Not until the takeover is complete.
00:05:02And our future is secure.
00:05:09Oh.
00:05:14Jesus.
00:05:16You have some nerve walking in here.
00:05:19This is Sophia's home.
00:05:21She's my wife.
00:05:22Wife?
00:05:22You tricked her.
00:05:23You tricked all of us.
00:05:25You brought gifts like that makes you a part of this family?
00:05:27Well, I thought since we'll be spending time together.
00:05:30This is rich.
00:05:31Correction.
00:05:31Not rich.
00:05:32More like bankrupt.
00:05:34You think money is the most important thing, but it's not.
00:05:36Chris is a good person.
00:05:37He's honest and he treats me with respect.
00:05:39All right.
00:05:40Well, let's see what you brought us anyway.
00:05:42Just a couple tokens of my appreciation of Charlotte.
00:05:45I'm aware you like a nice glass of red before bed.
00:05:47So I got that from you.
00:05:49And Jack, this is a very rare book.
00:05:50I thought it'd be good for your collection.
00:05:53Books?
00:05:54He brought us books?
00:05:55What are we supposed to do with a book, Chris?
00:05:57We're supposed to read our way out of debt?
00:05:59You could have brought Monopoly money.
00:06:00It's the same value.
00:06:03Not even French.
00:06:05California.
00:06:06This is bottom shelf swill.
00:06:10You know, I got that from a small vineyard.
00:06:12I thought you would appreciate the backstory.
00:06:14The backstory?
00:06:15We love stories.
00:06:16Like fairy tales.
00:06:18You mean like the fairy tale where you're a billionaire?
00:06:20Oh, I love that one.
00:06:21That's a good one.
00:06:23You're so funny.
00:06:31Burns well.
00:06:32Look at that.
00:06:42Thank you, Johnny.
00:06:43Move.
00:06:52Nice.
00:06:54That seat is for family.
00:06:57What?
00:06:57He can sit at the end if he's so desperate to eat.
00:07:00I hope you don't mind scraps, champ.
00:07:02That's usually all that's left over when it gets to the end of the table.
00:07:04Especially after you.
00:07:05Rah, rah, rah, rah.
00:07:10Sophia, you know, you could still get an annulment tonight.
00:07:15Oh, my dear, that is a brilliant idea.
00:07:17You know, I still have Judge Wagner on speak dial.
00:07:20I'll just give him a call.
00:07:20I bet he would be here in about ten minutes.
00:07:22Mom, please.
00:07:23What?
00:07:23Just put your phone in bed.
00:07:25Fine.
00:07:26But I don't see the point in waiting.
00:07:28Okay, everyone.
00:07:29To my beautiful Sophia, you deserve the world.
00:07:33But instead, you've got a pathetic drifter.
00:07:39Nice.
00:07:42It's good.
00:07:43It's a cab.
00:07:44Hey, handsome.
00:07:46Bottoms up.
00:07:51Bottoms up.
00:07:58I guess I should have gone with the white.
00:08:01Butterfingers.
00:08:03Would you all give it a rest already?
00:08:05Whoa.
00:08:06Excuse me.
00:08:06You brought him into our home.
00:08:08And the next thing you know, he's eating our food, fucking our sister, and asking for gas money.
00:08:14That is not a son-in-law.
00:08:16It's a parasite.
00:08:17Don't talk about my husband like that.
00:08:19He doesn't even have the guts to defend himself.
00:08:27Just eat.
00:08:29Please.
00:08:35What do you think you're doing?
00:08:41Sophia hasn't eaten much, so I thought I'd...
00:08:43Oh, the pauper is trying to play the provider now.
00:08:47Maybe your wife just lost her appetite because she married a stone brogue shipheel.
00:08:52Don't strain yourself, Chris.
00:08:53You might pull a muscle trying to lift this chunk of protein.
00:08:57You know, Chris, the good food is for people that contribute, not you, princess.
00:09:13You sit under this room, eating our food, moving in and freeloading.
00:09:18What is it exactly that you bring to the table?
00:09:20Well, for one, I married your daughter.
00:09:24I married her.
00:09:28And what, you think that makes you automatically a part of this family?
00:09:32You think that marrying Sophia is some kind of gift to us?
00:09:35It's not a gift.
00:09:36It's a burden.
00:09:37It's a liability.
00:09:38It's a stain.
00:09:39Please, Mom.
00:09:40No, let him hear it.
00:09:41You want to be part of this family, then?
00:09:42You need to know your place.
00:09:43Because you're nobody's son-in-law.
00:09:45You're just a dog that we let in the back door.
00:09:49So go ahead, kid.
00:09:50Eat up.
00:09:51Wolf, wolf.
00:10:14That's a good boy.
00:10:18That's a good boy.
00:10:22You know, Sun Tzu says, patience is the key to victory.
00:10:25And I am a very patient man.
00:10:28Look at this guy.
00:10:29I mean, he doesn't even fight back.
00:10:30Not a word.
00:10:31It's because he knows it's true.
00:10:32He's nothing, just a worthless half-wit.
00:10:35And to think, my daughter is married to a man who can't even afford to buy her flowers,
00:10:39let alone put a roof over her head.
00:10:40Well, what can we have here, huh?
00:10:42A happy bride and her poor little groom.
00:10:45Derek, what a surprise.
00:10:46Well, you certainly have a hop in your step.
00:10:49Indeed, I do.
00:10:50Langford Capital just secured a quarter of a billion dollars in financing.
00:10:54Record profits.
00:10:55We're expanding faster than any other company on the market.
00:10:57Oh my God.
00:10:58A quarter billion?
00:10:59That's incredible.
00:11:00But we're just getting started.
00:11:01By next spring, Langford Capital will be the biggest and the best private equity fund in
00:11:06the country, especially with Apex groups circling the drain.
00:11:08Isn't that right, Chris?
00:11:13Imagine if Sophia married Derek.
00:11:16I think about that every single day.
00:11:18Mom, you were thrilled when I married Chris this morning.
00:11:20Yes, I was.
00:11:21But secretly, I was hoping you'd end up with Derek.
00:11:25I'll tell you what, family sticks together.
00:11:27Tom, we're hiring brilliant minds over at Langford Capital, and I have just the position
00:11:31for you.
00:11:31How about head of the Strategic Wealth Fund?
00:11:36You hear that?
00:11:37That is what a son-in-law does.
00:11:39He builds.
00:11:40He protects.
00:11:41He provides.
00:11:42And he doesn't lie to you.
00:11:45Sophia, it's not too late.
00:11:47You can still fix it.
00:11:50Just unknow the marriage and walk away.
00:11:54They already told you.
00:11:56I don't want to hear it.
00:11:58Pitch you.
00:11:59Well, sign this paper and annul this marriage.
00:12:04Mom, please, sign it.
00:12:06You will not draft the Donovan family down with you.
00:12:10Mom, stop.
00:12:11Sign the divorce papers and unknow this marriage now.
00:12:26Oh, my God.
00:12:28Jack!
00:12:31Stop, I'm going to do something.
00:12:33Oh, my God.
00:12:35You're texting while my father is having a heart attack?
00:12:37He's probably texting his side piece already.
00:12:39I have been worried about Jack for a long time, so for the past six months, I've been working
00:12:42with specialists at Apex to try to find a cure.
00:12:44Oh, right, because Apex is some kind of, like, magic shop now.
00:12:47What's next, Chris?
00:12:48You're going to try to sell us unicorn tears in a jar?
00:12:50Laugh all you want, but this could be the only thing that can actually cure him.
00:12:52This isn't some medical breakthrough.
00:12:55This is all about your ego.
00:12:57Because you cannot stand the fact that we all know you are useless, so you just make up fantasies.
00:13:02I mean, what is next, Chris?
00:13:04You're going to sprinkle fairy dust on my father and tell us that he's healed?
00:13:07What, are you just going to bring him over to the garage and hook him up to jumper cables?
00:13:09You're a fraud, and you always have been.
00:13:11If you lay a finger on him, you'll kill him faster than the disease itself.
00:13:16I've also been sending messages to someone who actually knows what they're doing.
00:13:20Dean Hargrove, chief of medicine over at Crestview Hospital.
00:13:23A real doctor with real credentials.
00:13:25And expensive.
00:13:27But he's worth it, because unlike your made-up magical cure, he's not going to kill my father.
00:13:32That's what a real son-in-law does.
00:13:34He is generous, and he is serious about families.
00:13:38Unlike this twisted truth, fucker.
00:13:41You think your limp dick husband is going to compete with that?
00:13:44Please.
00:13:45This isn't a competition.
00:13:45I just want Jack to get better.
00:13:47It's not a competition.
00:13:50Oh, you just want Jack to get better, do you?
00:13:53Why don't you try this?
00:13:55Oh!
00:13:57Yay, finally some real entertainment.
00:13:59Yeah, maybe that'll shut him up.
00:14:00What is the matter with you?
00:14:01He is just a deadbeat gripper.
00:14:03He needs to get out of this house.
00:14:05Yeah, and he's as welcome as a turd in the family punch bowl.
00:14:07Yeah, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner we can all move on.
00:14:12Oh, that must be Dr. Hargrove.
00:14:22Dr. D. Hargrove, chief of medicine at Resview Medical.
00:14:27Only the best for my Jack and his family.
00:14:30Doctor, thank you so much for coming to our family.
00:14:32We know how precious your time is.
00:14:34But when it comes to family health, nothing is more important.
00:14:36Did you hear that?
00:14:37Nothing's more important than family.
00:14:38A real doctor.
00:14:40Unlike your, uh, snake oil, hmm?
00:14:43So why don't you just take your lies and get the hell out of this house?
00:14:49Listen, I think they're...
00:14:50I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
00:14:58Jack's condition has advanced.
00:15:00Oh, my God.
00:15:01His lungs are weak.
00:15:02Circulation is very poor.
00:15:03He might only have a couple of weeks to maybe a few months.
00:15:06Oh, my God.
00:15:07Right now, I can only suggest palliative measures.
00:15:09Palliative?
00:15:10You mean there's...
00:15:11There's nothing medicine can do.
00:15:12I'm sorry.
00:15:13Just cherish the time that you still have with him.
00:15:15And you, trying to use my father as a guinea pig for your Frankenstein cure,
00:15:21we're only going to kill him faster!
00:15:24Dr. Harper, help me help her!
00:15:29He's crashing.
00:15:29We don't have time.
00:15:30I can't breathe.
00:15:31Do something if you are such a genius!
00:15:38Just in time.
00:15:58What is this circus?
00:16:02And what the hell is that?
00:16:03I built Apex.
00:16:04And breakthroughs the rest of the world thought were impossible.
00:16:06This vial right here is the first drug of its kind,
00:16:09developed by a team of specialists for one man's condition.
00:16:12Jack's.
00:16:12The old man needs a miracle, not some science fiction on a goddamn needle.
00:16:16Or, this is his endgame.
00:16:18You kill him, and then you inherit Sophia without all the trouble.
00:16:21You are not sticking that needle anywhere near my husband,
00:16:24over my dead body.
00:16:28Chris, please.
00:16:29You have two, maybe three minutes left,
00:16:32unless you let me help you right now.
00:16:36Jack.
00:16:37Help me.
00:16:39If this kills him, I will kill you.
00:16:41Jack, are you sure about this?
00:16:43I wouldn't risk it if I wasn't.
00:16:45Trust me.
00:16:46Do it.
00:16:47Doc?
00:16:56Okay, Jack.
00:16:58Move her.
00:17:22Jess.
00:17:24I can breathe.
00:17:28His pulse is stronger.
00:17:31Remarkably stronger.
00:17:32It's just blind luck.
00:17:34It's some kind of fluke.
00:17:35Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
00:17:37I'll take that as a thank you.
00:17:40Jack, get some rest.
00:17:41I'll leave a monitor here overnight and check on you in the morning.
00:17:45Thank you, Dr. Hargrove.
00:17:47It's okay.
00:17:49Oh, thanks.
00:17:50Oh, thanks, sweetie.
00:17:52Babe, didn't you say that you had some special surprise in the car for a match?
00:17:56Yes, yes, I did.
00:17:57My dreamer little guy.
00:17:58Max, let's go.
00:18:00Come on, buddy.
00:18:01That's enough doom and gloom around here.
00:18:03It's time for this family to have some fun.
00:18:04And for you to finally see how a real man provides for his family.
00:18:14Limited edition, custom-in-law job.
00:18:17You can only get one of these if you know somebody.
00:18:19Okay, tiger.
00:18:22Wow, Max, thank you for a spin.
00:18:25You see, Chris, this is what a real son-in-law does.
00:18:29He provides status, toys, and joy.
00:18:32Boy's got a left foot on the pedal.
00:18:34I'm sorry, Chris.
00:18:35I don't want to come round.
00:18:36Don't make it up to yourself.
00:18:37Promise.
00:18:37Chris, it won't be like this for long.
00:18:39Face it, Chris, you could literally never get anything like this for your kid.
00:18:43Well, unless you found an abandoned one at the thrift store he shops at.
00:18:47Ooh, babe, look how fast he's going.
00:18:48That's my boy.
00:18:54Hey, Victoria, I need you to do me one more favor.
00:18:57This looks so cool.
00:18:58It's past a week.
00:18:59Only the best for my boy.
00:19:04I like the day that I'm fine.
00:19:08Yeah.
00:19:09Arriving now, boss.
00:19:10Thanks, Vic.
00:19:12Quick announcement, everyone.
00:19:13I have a surprise for you all outside.
00:19:15Oh, yeah?
00:19:15What is it?
00:19:16A coupon for a half-off pizza?
00:19:17Maybe it's a pawn shop conca truck.
00:19:20No.
00:19:21That's something money can't buy.
00:19:26Max, come on.
00:19:27All right.
00:19:28Hey, let's go, Max.
00:19:29Let's go take this baby girl.
00:19:31Yeah.
00:19:35Look at it go.
00:19:36Let's go, Max.
00:19:39Oh, that has to be fake.
00:19:40No one would let a child play with something like that.
00:19:43Who am I looking at?
00:19:43The three of top-of-the-line prototypes.
00:19:45Fully safe.
00:19:45Fully licensed.
00:19:46The only one of its kind in the country.
00:19:47Do you expect us to believe that he could afford to bring something like this to our house?
00:19:52It's pretty neat, huh?
00:19:53This is the coolest thing ever.
00:19:55That can happen?
00:19:55No, no, no.
00:19:56You know, Max, don't get too excited.
00:19:58Yeah.
00:19:59They're knockoffs.
00:20:00Cheap imports made to look expensive.
00:20:02Yeah, it happens often.
00:20:03They're probably defective, sweet.
00:20:04Max, Max.
00:20:05And yet, he parades it on my front lawn in some kind of pathetic attempt to convince us that
00:20:10he's some powerful big shot.
00:20:12Chris, how did you afford this?
00:20:14Must have cost millions of dollars.
00:20:15Yeah, Chris, are you actually bankrupt or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:20:22Are you actually bankrupt or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:20:26Damn it.
00:20:26I overplayed my hand.
00:20:28Showing off a fleet of darker prototypes was a bad move.
00:20:31I didn't buy them.
00:20:33I borrowed them from a friend.
00:20:35They're on loan from a defense contractor I did some consulting for.
00:20:39Chris, you don't have to keep doing this.
00:20:41Trying to prove yourself to my family.
00:20:43Let them think whatever they want.
00:20:45The more they underestimate me, the better.
00:20:50I didn't see it before.
00:20:52Now it's clear as day.
00:20:53You're a real con man, aren't you, Chris?
00:20:55Just squirreling away whatever scraps of money you can find and then just linging it in gadgets.
00:21:01Mom.
00:21:01No, Sophia.
00:21:02Look at us.
00:21:03My husband is sick.
00:21:04This house is bleeding us dry.
00:21:07And you, instead of improving her station in life, you just threw cash at toys.
00:21:12You disgust me.
00:21:14He didn't buy them.
00:21:15Then he took out a bunch of IOUs.
00:21:16Listen to me.
00:21:17When that company comes to collect, we are all in a lot of trouble.
00:21:23You know, I'm just going to say it.
00:21:25I'm not giving you a percentage.
00:21:26No, no, no.
00:21:27I'm not going to be bankrolling my grifter of a brother-in-law who is just trying to hustle us
00:21:31all out of money.
00:21:32Listen, none of you need to pay anything.
00:21:34So if you don't pay, then who does?
00:21:35How does a skid row reject like you afford something like that?
00:21:38I don't have to pay either.
00:21:39So what?
00:21:40You just call in a favor at the Pentagon?
00:21:43Oh, you have DARPA on speed dial?
00:21:45Oh, wow.
00:21:47As a matter of fact, yes, I do.
00:21:50Anyway, it's none of your concern.
00:21:52You know, all this idle chit-chat, I completely forgot.
00:21:56You two need to sign the annulment papers.
00:21:58I'd be happy to take you as my wife.
00:22:00Sophia, you deserve a partner who can put a diamond on your finger and not dirt under your nails.
00:22:04It's time to move on from this charlatan.
00:22:07Sophia, why don't we just put an end to this and we can forget it ever happened.
00:22:25No.
00:22:27Sophia, don't let pride get in the way of you making the right decision.
00:22:32Sophia, he is not the same man that you married.
00:22:35No one would blame you.
00:22:36It's modern times, so?
00:22:37Nobody takes wedding vows seriously anymore.
00:22:39It's all free love, free marriage.
00:22:42You should trade up while you still can.
00:22:44We can go to the courthouse right now.
00:22:45We can get it all done tonight.
00:22:46An annulment, marriage.
00:22:47Two for one.
00:22:48Enough!
00:22:49God!
00:22:50I am still right here.
00:22:52And if you keep insulting me and Sophia, don't be surprised if we walk out of here for good.
00:22:56Together.
00:22:58There it is.
00:22:59Anger.
00:23:00Typical impotent man's weapon.
00:23:02Violence and empty threats.
00:23:04Don't make it worse.
00:23:05Sophia, are you listening to what they're saying?
00:23:07They're trying to force us to annul our marriage.
00:23:10Don't talk.
00:23:11They're just in shock.
00:23:12I'm not in shock.
00:23:14Tomorrow morning, Chris, you will take my daughter down to the courthouse and get an annulment and end this sham
00:23:20of a union.
00:23:21And I'll be right there to say, I do.
00:23:25He thinks he's already won.
00:23:27But in less than 72 hours, Link for Capital will belong to me.
00:23:32Your company going under wasn't the only bombshell I discovered.
00:23:35A little birdie told me that $100 million went missing from Apex Group's cash reserves.
00:23:40So you're a liar and a thief!
00:23:42And after I spilled the beans of Chris's bankruptcy, I got another tip.
00:23:46Apparently, Apex Group's Fortune 500 cover boy supposedly rewired a massive loan from a Swiss bank to an offshore attorney.
00:23:53Oh, Chris!
00:23:55Have you no shame?
00:23:56That explains the miracle medicine and the military toys outside this house!
00:24:00It matches all of it.
00:24:02Case closed.
00:24:03I knew it!
00:24:04You're not only worthless, but you are a criminal!
00:24:06Did you hear that?
00:24:07If I deliver you, a deadbeat fraud, to the authorities, I get a major reward.
00:24:11And could you imagine the headlines?
00:24:13And I would earn good favor with the president.
00:24:14His whole campaign was run on bringing down corporate corruption.
00:24:18I'd probably get invited to the White House.
00:24:19Derek, you're the fraud.
00:24:20That me.
00:24:23Lock the doors.
00:24:25We need to make sure he doesn't make a run for it.
00:24:32Lock the doors.
00:24:33We need to make sure he doesn't make a run for it.
00:24:35He's still my husband.
00:24:36He's family.
00:24:37Family?
00:24:38If Chris gets arrested, it drags us all down.
00:24:41We want a $100 million debt tied to our family bank.
00:24:43Who do you think the government's going to come after when Chris can't pay you?
00:24:46Oh my god!
00:24:47You're right, honey!
00:24:51Sophia?
00:24:52Honey, listen to me.
00:24:54I don't owe anything.
00:24:58He's lying.
00:24:59Is he?
00:25:00Or have you been deceiving me all along?
00:25:06Exactly.
00:25:07You know, from what I can tell, it's Chris telling lies.
00:25:09You steal $100 million to come to the house of an innocent family and you're flaunted?
00:25:13That is disgusting.
00:25:13You're sick, man.
00:25:14There is one way out.
00:25:16Annulment.
00:25:16Immediately.
00:25:17As long as Sophia cuts off these ties, as long as the Donovan family draws clear lines,
00:25:22his debt dies with him.
00:25:24Sophia, I can still give you the future you deserve.
00:25:26It's me.
00:25:34Yes!
00:25:34Divorce him!
00:25:35And then you can marry Derek.
00:25:37I mean, look at him.
00:25:39He has real power and real money.
00:25:41And then this family can rise instead of crashing with Chris.
00:25:46Why are you just standing around?
00:25:48Go on.
00:25:48Annul the marriage and ended with this fraud!
00:25:51Mom, you just lost his way for a moment.
00:25:54Oh no.
00:25:54Why are you still shielding him?
00:25:56I don't mind if the two of you want to sink, but you will not drown the Donovan family with
00:26:01you!
00:26:01He may be going through a rough path, but he's been good to me.
00:26:06I'll leave with him.
00:26:09We won't be your burden.
00:26:13Sophia, I will always protect you.
00:26:15I'll always make you happy.
00:26:16Even if it's the last thing I do.
00:26:22Eric, please.
00:26:24Don't ruin it.
00:26:25You're still defending him?
00:26:26This cockroach of a man?
00:26:28For the sake of our past, I'm begging you to have mercy.
00:26:32Absolutely not.
00:26:33If he runs, the fallout comes back on us.
00:26:35Sophia, you are going to send me to an early grave!
00:26:39Here's what's going to happen.
00:26:43My security detail is waiting just outside for me.
00:26:46They come in.
00:26:46They haul Chris's ass down to Langford Capital.
00:26:48While he's sitting in the basement storage room, we'll have Sophia sign the annulment papers.
00:26:53Brilliant.
00:26:54You can teach this pawn scum a lesson.
00:26:56That's him.
00:26:57Taken.
00:26:58I dare you.
00:26:59Put one finger on me, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
00:27:02Big talk coming from a broke con man.
00:27:04I'll have you dragged out of here in cuffs, and the Donovan family will thank me.
00:27:08You're going to play this game?
00:27:09Go on, Derek.
00:27:11Make your move.
00:27:12Detain him now!
00:27:15Oh, shit!
00:27:16Oh, my gosh!
00:27:17Oh, my God!
00:27:18He's off of her!
00:27:20Oh!
00:27:21Oh, yes!
00:27:22Oh!
00:27:23Don't worry.
00:27:24Once they're through with him, he'll thank me for saving you.
00:27:27Sophia, remember, I did this for you.
00:27:31For us.
00:27:34Take him.
00:27:35Wait, stop!
00:27:36Stop!
00:27:46After the bankruptcy leak, my board wants answers.
00:27:48You don't believe the rumors?
00:27:50Leaks can be planted.
00:27:51I don't buy for a second that Apex is broke.
00:27:53So this is a fact-finding mission.
00:27:54If the headlines are true, then we cut we run.
00:27:56But if not, this family may be sitting on a gold line and not even realize it.
00:28:08I just saw a woman outside, and she looks an awful lot like Marina Barron.
00:28:12Barron?
00:28:13As in Barron Holdings, are you sure?
00:28:14Yeah.
00:28:15I Googled her, and the pictures on the Google look like the pictures of the woman who was
00:28:18standing outside.
00:28:19Don't you know what this means?
00:28:20She is the predator.
00:28:21Come to collect on the money that Chris stole.
00:28:22Oh, my God!
00:28:23We're so screwed, and Sophia is still legally tied to Chris if she connects the dots?
00:28:27That bastard!
00:28:27He has been dragging us down since day one.
00:28:29Are you happy now?
00:28:29What do we do?
00:28:30We can't let her in.
00:28:33She is the most powerful woman on the street.
00:28:35If we don't let her in, we look guilty.
00:28:36Okay, but like, hear me out.
00:28:37Like, what if she's not here to collect on Chris's debts?
00:28:40Sweetheart, what?
00:28:40Don't be naive.
00:28:42Then, okay, here's what we do.
00:28:42We tell her that we kicked Chris out, and then we forced Sophia to sign the enrollment
00:28:46papers, and we never touched a dime of his money.
00:28:48We should have gone to the courthouse hours ago.
00:28:50Hold up.
00:28:52Let me call my friend at the courthouse.
00:28:53Maybe he can backdate something for us.
00:28:54Yes, Daddy's got it.
00:28:56No.
00:28:57He isn't lying.
00:28:59He didn't steal a hundred billion dollars.
00:29:02Okay, Sophia, you look so demure right now, but my priority is protecting my family.
00:29:06He is my family.
00:29:08Well, then you need to decide.
00:29:09It's either him or us.
00:29:11I'm not signing anything today.
00:29:13Do you want more nuts?
00:29:14You need to grow up.
00:29:15The world runs on money and power, and your husband has nightmares.
00:29:18Okay, that's all we're going to do.
00:29:19We're going to let her in.
00:29:20We're going to smile.
00:29:21We're going to be gracious, and we're going to make it abundantly clear that we have
00:29:24cut ties with Chris completely.
00:29:26Completely.
00:29:26That means you.
00:29:28If she asks about the marriage, you say it's already been annulled.
00:29:31Do you understand?
00:29:32You are not going to drag us down with you.
00:29:35Smith, game time.
00:29:37Game time.
00:29:37Let her in.
00:29:40Okay, smiles.
00:29:43Oh, Mrs. Sparrow, what an honor.
00:29:46I believe your son-in-law works with one of our affiliate banks.
00:29:48I thought since I'm in town, I'd put a face to the name that I've heard such good things
00:29:52about.
00:29:53Tom Hayden, Assistant VP, Commercial Lending.
00:29:55Mentioned on our vendor list last year.
00:29:57Tom.
00:29:58It's a pleasure.
00:29:59Anything you need, you have my full attention.
00:30:01I appreciate that.
00:30:03Thank you, sweetheart.
00:30:05While I'm here, I thought I'd clear up a few questions that the market has been whispering
00:30:10about.
00:30:11Questions.
00:30:12Okay.
00:30:12Apex Group.
00:30:13If Chris Bell truly is at the helm, then the bankruptcy rumors don't add up.
00:30:17I know this was his last address on file.
00:30:20Is he here?
00:30:34Is he here?
00:30:35Uh, Chris, oh no, he is a loser who we kicked out and we cut ties with completely.
00:30:41You did what?
00:30:42And the marriage to our daughter.
00:30:44That's been an old.
00:30:45He is no longer part of the family.
00:30:46Actually, he's a shit stain.
00:30:48And if he's in trouble, that's his problem.
00:30:50These idiots have no idea what they've done.
00:30:54Miss Barron, I don't think you understand.
00:30:57We despise him.
00:30:58And if we could cut him up into like tiny, little, itty-bitty, bite-sized pieces, we would.
00:31:04Excuse me, cut him to what now?
00:31:06Small pieces.
00:31:07And that's not all I would do.
00:31:08If I could, I would skin him alive.
00:31:10I would break every bone in his body.
00:31:13And then, I would suck his blood dry.
00:31:18I'm scared.
00:31:20He just never really knew his place.
00:31:22He clung to Sophia and then he used all of us.
00:31:25So you thought Chris Bell was not good enough to marry into this family?
00:31:28No.
00:31:30Bingo.
00:31:31Don't you worry, the world is better with him buried in a ditch.
00:31:34I'm sorry, where is he now?
00:31:38Derek's security detail took him to Langford Capital.
00:31:41Yes, the guards have probably already beat him halfway to death.
00:31:43But don't worry, Miss Barron.
00:31:44I mean, none of us here feel sorry for him.
00:31:46And I think I speak on behalf of everyone on this couch when I say we'd all be a lot
00:31:49happier if they just finished the job.
00:31:55You said that he was at Langford Capital?
00:31:56Yeah, in the storage room in the basement.
00:31:58Derek wanted to take him to a place where nobody could hear him scream.
00:32:01Right.
00:32:01Yes.
00:32:02Oh.
00:32:04Congratulations.
00:32:05You just made the biggest mistake of your lives.
00:32:09What?
00:32:09Oh.
00:32:10What?
00:32:10That doesn't sound good.
00:32:12What the hell's our problem?
00:32:13Yeah, why all of a sudden does she care about Chris's sense of well-being?
00:32:17No.
00:32:18She's sleeping with him.
00:32:19Oh, yes.
00:32:20Yes, yes.
00:32:21What's this?
00:32:21Excuse me?
00:32:22I mean, why else would a woman like that care about financial corpses?
00:32:25Oh.
00:32:26It's all so clear now.
00:32:27The drones.
00:32:28That theatrics.
00:32:30Chris was trying to impress her.
00:32:31Baron Holdings, they protect their own.
00:32:33She's probably funny.
00:32:34It's not a sign.
00:32:34Probably a lot more than that.
00:32:36Uh-huh.
00:32:36Hopefully.
00:32:37That's true.
00:32:38And they're still entangled.
00:32:39We need to sever ties immediately.
00:32:41Tomorrow morning, no delays.
00:32:43The papers.
00:32:43Enough.
00:32:44Whoa.
00:32:45I won't be part of your gossip milk.
00:32:46Well, it's not gossip if it's obvious, Sophia.
00:32:49It's obvious that you'll do anything to make Chris look bad.
00:32:52Yeah.
00:32:52That's enough.
00:32:53As long as you are still married to him.
00:32:55Our family is on the chopping block for his reckless failings.
00:32:58You are either too naive or too stupid to sign it.
00:33:14No more papers.
00:33:16Sign them and we're done.
00:33:18You think this basement scares me?
00:33:20You have no idea what's coming.
00:33:28Good news, asshole.
00:33:30Your wife's family is ready to be reasonable.
00:33:33Then I guess I don't need to sign anything.
00:33:35Cute.
00:33:37Sign the goddamn papers.
00:33:40Oh, Derek.
00:33:41You keep taking my silence for surrender.
00:33:44This is your last chance, though.
00:33:46Hmm?
00:33:46If you refuse, I'll buy Apex Group myself.
00:33:50And then I'll sell it for scraps like a junkyard car.
00:33:52Hmm?
00:33:54So what's it gonna be?
00:33:56Time's ticking.
00:33:59Derek.
00:34:01You can go straight...
00:34:03to hell.
00:34:06I can regret that choice.
00:34:15This is gonna make you sign one way or another.
00:34:18Last chance to take the easy way out.
00:34:20What fun would that be?
00:34:27Oh, light him up like a Christmas tree!
00:34:30YAH!
00:34:42Is that all you got?
00:34:56Sign it properly.
00:34:57I'll make sure that every nerve in your body is fried,
00:35:00rendering you useless!
00:35:07Touch him again,
00:35:08and I'll make sure this entire building
00:35:09is on lockdown before sunrise.
00:35:11What the hell is this?
00:35:12Kidnapping?
00:35:13Extortion?
00:35:14Attempted murder?
00:35:17He's a frog!
00:35:18And a liar!
00:35:19He's a two-bit Bernie Madoff hack!
00:35:21Whatever rumors you put about Apex Group,
00:35:24the story isn't adding up.
00:35:25Who the fuck are you?
00:35:27Marina Baron.
00:35:30Baron Holdings.
00:35:32Oh, shit.
00:35:33She's about to destroy my whole plan.
00:35:38Listen, Marina.
00:35:40I really appreciate what you're trying to do here,
00:35:42but he's right.
00:35:45I'm a fraud.
00:35:48I have multiple contacts,
00:35:51credible sources inside.
00:35:53They're wrong.
00:35:54Trust me.
00:35:56I'm toxic.
00:35:57You don't want anything to do with me.
00:36:00I must have been wrong about him.
00:36:02We should sit down and talk.
00:36:04I like the way you operate.
00:36:08You've never seen that Chris guy again.
00:36:09I don't think we will.
00:36:10I think we really scared him off last time.
00:36:12Oh, my God.
00:36:14Look what the cab's wrapped in.
00:36:16Chris.
00:36:20He thought you'd get rid of me, huh?
00:36:22Well,
00:36:25I'm not dead yet.
00:36:29Stay right there.
00:36:31Unbelievable.
00:36:32He just crawls right back into our home like a stray.
00:36:35Somebody should call Animal Control.
00:36:37No need.
00:36:37We can evict him ourselves.
00:36:40Tonight,
00:36:41we're good.
00:36:44Sophia,
00:36:48look at me.
00:36:50No looks.
00:36:51You are not a husband.
00:36:53You are not a son-in-law.
00:36:54And you are not part of this family anymore.
00:36:57Tom,
00:36:59show him the door.
00:37:00Absolutely.
00:37:00Oh, but don't let him step on the lawn
00:37:01because the gardener just planted my favorite flowers
00:37:03and if he steps on them,
00:37:04we'll just be so obsessed.
00:37:05Of course I did.
00:37:05All right.
00:37:06I know where the door is, Tom.
00:37:09Are you coming with me?
00:37:14Don't you dare.
00:37:16Do you want to kill your father with the stress?
00:37:22Do you want that on your conscience?
00:37:30Chris, I'm sorry.
00:37:41You're going to regret this.
00:37:44All of you.
00:37:45For every word,
00:37:47every choice that you made today.
00:37:50Sure, whatever.
00:37:51Just put it in a greeting card.
00:37:52There's the door, champ.
00:37:56I'm not giving up on us.
00:38:03Good riddance.
00:38:05Hey.
00:38:05Yeah?
00:38:06Someone's going to need to change the locks.
00:38:09Okay, yes.
00:38:11You're welcome.
00:38:12I love you.
00:38:18Vic,
00:38:19it's me.
00:38:20Do it.
00:38:21All of them.
00:38:23I want each one of them begging for mercy.
00:38:28That's a cute one of the acts.
00:38:31Oh, oh, quick.
00:38:32Hello?
00:38:34Oh.
00:38:35Yo.
00:38:36Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:38:38But I've...
00:38:39What do you mean effective immediately?
00:38:40I've headed that committee for three years.
00:38:42No, no, no.
00:38:42There has to be some mistake.
00:38:43I just closed the Fulton account.
00:38:44No, no, no, no.
00:38:45Wait, you can't...
00:38:45No, no, no, no.
00:38:46Wait, wait, wait.
00:38:46You can't just restructure me out.
00:38:48I signed the promotion paperwork.
00:38:50Hello?
00:38:51Hello?
00:38:54Oh, my God.
00:38:56I was just fired.
00:38:57Me too.
00:38:58And they're rolling back my bonus
00:39:00reviewing irregularities.
00:39:03What just happened?
00:39:06It's Chris.
00:39:08The man is so toxic,
00:39:10he's taking us all down with him.
00:39:11Our brother-in-law's company
00:39:13is publicly outed as bankrupt
00:39:14and riddled with fraud,
00:39:16and then both of our careers
00:39:17just go up in smoke?
00:39:18That is not a coincidence.
00:39:20Wait a minute.
00:39:21So he shits the bed,
00:39:23and you two are collateral damage?
00:39:25Yes!
00:39:25You see?
00:39:26This is why I say sever ties.
00:39:29You don't know that Chris
00:39:30is the cause of this.
00:39:31Don't be naive.
00:39:33He makes enemies
00:39:33wherever he comes,
00:39:35and we are expected
00:39:36to foot the bill.
00:39:37We're not even this.
00:39:38Not after everything.
00:39:40The city still owes
00:39:41on a demolition payout.
00:39:43Chris's childhood home
00:39:44is in the redevelopment zone.
00:39:46He is still owed
00:39:47a check for them tearing it down.
00:39:49So...
00:39:50We collect it as compensation
00:39:51for everything he pushed through.
00:39:52Oh, you can't just take it.
00:39:53Watch us.
00:39:54We will file a claim
00:39:55through the executive order
00:39:56or whatever place, okay?
00:39:58By the time Chris figures out
00:39:59the money's gone,
00:40:00it's too late.
00:40:01It's ours.
00:40:01Yeah, we don't need to suffer
00:40:03for his incompetence.
00:40:04He will pay it out.
00:40:06Do it.
00:40:07Make him pay back
00:40:07every dollar he owes
00:40:09this bank.
00:40:10That house
00:40:11is the only memory
00:40:12he has left of his parents.
00:40:14Well, he should have
00:40:14thought about that
00:40:15before he tanked his business
00:40:16and poisoned our names.
00:40:18Look at the people we're going.
00:40:20The county records office
00:40:20will go to the morning.
00:40:21You're so smart, babe.
00:40:22You're saving the day.
00:40:24You see?
00:40:26We take care of her.
00:40:28We've got it.
00:40:29Any bucks
00:40:30with the Donovans!
00:40:37To anyone else,
00:40:38this is a run-down old house.
00:40:39But for me,
00:40:40it's home.
00:40:45Bosset,
00:40:46you're the last holdout.
00:40:47Just sign the property over
00:40:48and no one gets hurt.
00:40:48This house is the last thing
00:40:50left of my parents.
00:40:51You want it?
00:40:52We're going to have to
00:40:53tear it down with me in it.
00:40:58Oh, I knew Chris would be here.
00:41:01Get him to agree
00:41:02and that demolition payment
00:41:03is ours!
00:41:04It's his house
00:41:05and our survival.
00:41:07Don't you see it?
00:41:08His mess has already cost us
00:41:10money, jobs, status.
00:41:12You'll get him to sign it over
00:41:13because you're a godly first.
00:41:15You're the best.
00:41:17You can't do it.
00:41:26Sophia.
00:41:28Hi!
00:41:33Go on.
00:41:34Isn't there something
00:41:35you want to say to him?
00:41:39Chris, I...
00:41:40I know how important
00:41:41this was just...
00:41:42Oh, just spit it out already!
00:41:45Please.
00:41:46Don't ask me to do this.
00:41:48Don't listen to him.
00:41:49He will just drag us down
00:41:50until we have nothing left.
00:41:52Go on.
00:41:53Talk some sense into him.
00:41:54He is going to bury us
00:41:55with him, Sophia.
00:41:56And what about Dad?
00:41:57Huh?
00:41:58He's going to kill him
00:41:59faster than the heart disease
00:42:00ever would.
00:42:07Chris, I'm sorry.
00:42:10It's just a lot of money.
00:42:13Okay, that's enough talking.
00:42:14Excuse me.
00:42:15Excuse us.
00:42:17I need more stuff.
00:42:18Oh, I hate these stairs.
00:42:19They're the first to go, I think.
00:42:27Ugly.
00:42:29Hideous.
00:42:30Horrible.
00:42:31Oh!
00:42:32Well, this has to be a knockoff.
00:42:35Chris's parents could never
00:42:36afford the real thing.
00:42:37Bag it, babe.
00:42:38Yes, ma'am.
00:42:41Oh, what is in here, huh?
00:42:44Pretty pricey for someone
00:42:45who can't even afford lunch meat, huh?
00:42:47Those belong to my grandmother.
00:42:48Oh, well.
00:42:49Then she should have taken them
00:42:50to the grave affair.
00:42:53These deadbeats
00:42:54sure know how to keep up appearances.
00:42:56Oh, wow.
00:42:57This is fancy.
00:42:58Tom, off the wall.
00:42:59In the bag now.
00:43:00Yep.
00:43:00Now, let me ask you, Chris.
00:43:02Were your mom and dad
00:43:03are the kleptomaniacs?
00:43:05Oh, look at this.
00:43:07Somebody was very busy
00:43:09in kindergarten art class.
00:43:10My mother made that, okay?
00:43:12That's the last thing
00:43:13I have of hers.
00:43:14Well, mom certainly wasn't
00:43:16Michelangelo.
00:43:23Oops.
00:43:27That was priceless.
00:43:31Well, not anymore.
00:43:34Chris.
00:43:36I'm sorry.
00:43:40Oh, you had a wipe out.
00:43:41It's demolition time!
00:43:42Oh, wonderful.
00:43:47Oh, I hope you took pictures, Chris.
00:43:49Is this dump right here
00:43:50or is about to be a pile of rubble?
00:43:51Let's go, boys!
00:43:57Let's go, boys!
00:44:03All right, great.
00:44:03You got a big bulldozer.
00:44:05But this house does not move.
00:44:06Not one brick.
00:44:07What was that, Mel?
00:44:08Unless you want to get flattened out
00:44:09like a fucking pancake.
00:44:12Then you're going to have to take me out.
00:44:15This house goes down.
00:44:16It's landing on top of me.
00:44:18What the heck?
00:44:19He's going to martyr himself
00:44:20over a shithole.
00:44:20Well, at least that saves us the paperwork.
00:44:22Mm-hmm.
00:44:44What the fuck is it?
00:44:45What the fuck is it?
00:44:50What the fuck is it?
00:44:51moves another inch,
00:44:51I will bury your little demolition racket
00:44:53in federal court.
00:44:55Kickbacks, forged bids,
00:44:58half of your payroll are ghosts.
00:44:59You don't think I see every wire transfer?
00:45:03This isn't over.
00:45:05Yes, it is.
00:45:06Walk.
00:45:08She has to.
00:45:09She has to.
00:45:10How sad.
00:45:12Yet another woman
00:45:13swooping in to rescue you.
00:45:17Come on, we're done here.
00:45:21I didn't want it to be like this.
00:45:22It doesn't have to be.
00:45:23If you just stay with me.
00:45:25Oh, what?
00:45:26So you can have another mistress?
00:45:29Look, I can explain all of this.
00:45:30Just, not yet.
00:45:33Oh, mystery man has a secret timetable, hmm?
00:45:36Hmm, maybe he's under an NDA.
00:45:38Let me translate for you, my dear.
00:45:40A man who has to explain
00:45:42is a man who is alive.
00:45:44You can do better than that.
00:45:46Okay.
00:45:46You want to know the truth?
00:45:51The truth is,
00:45:53Victoria is not my mistress.
00:45:54She works for me.
00:45:55She's Apex Group's fixer.
00:45:57And I'm the queen of Monaco.
00:45:59She has no power.
00:46:00Your company is a laughingstock.
00:46:02It is a disgrace.
00:46:03Not only are you delusional,
00:46:04but you also think
00:46:05that you are a bunch of fools.
00:46:06Do you see the sickness in this?
00:46:08He has created this whole fantasy
00:46:10where he's still rich
00:46:11and his assistant is some kind of, uh,
00:46:14Tony Soprano.
00:46:15If that's true,
00:46:17why did you keep it from me?
00:46:19Why keep her a secret?
00:46:20Because she works in the shadows.
00:46:22And I couldn't...
00:46:25Oh, there it is.
00:46:27The sentence ends before the truth begins.
00:46:29So what?
00:46:30We're supposed to hang our livelihoods off
00:46:32and just trust me, babe?
00:46:34He wants you to think
00:46:35it's a business relationship.
00:46:37But it's a cover
00:46:38for a sham,
00:46:39for an affair,
00:46:40for a bunch of lies
00:46:41that he thinks
00:46:42you are too stupid to see.
00:46:44I can't breathe.
00:46:46Don't, just don't.
00:46:55I want to send you a moment.
00:46:59Well, compensation first.
00:47:00Let's do the calculations.
00:47:01Um, let's see.
00:47:02Reputational harm,
00:47:03employees lost,
00:47:05and, um, distressed.
00:47:06Oh, I was also very distressed.
00:47:07I was very distressed.
00:47:08And you know what sounds good to me?
00:47:09Round numbers.
00:47:11You know,
00:47:11I think eight figures keeps it mean,
00:47:13but multiple eights keeps it fair.
00:47:15You owe us for what you cost us.
00:47:19Fuck off.
00:47:19Well, not until we get what we want.
00:47:21I tell you what,
00:47:22why don't you send us
00:47:22a cool 50 mil
00:47:23from one of those
00:47:24offshore accounts
00:47:25that we heard you have.
00:47:27Oh!
00:47:28Call the police.
00:47:30I did.
00:47:31I reported a few trespassers.
00:47:34We're not trespassing.
00:47:36This is my son-in-law's home,
00:47:37and we are reclaiming
00:47:39what is ours.
00:47:40Officer,
00:47:40I'd like to report
00:47:40an active burglary.
00:47:41No, no, no.
00:47:42You cannot arrest us.
00:47:43Sophia is still married to Chris,
00:47:45so his assets
00:47:46are community property.
00:47:47Sir,
00:47:48is this your residence?
00:47:50No.
00:47:52Belong to my parents.
00:47:53Well then,
00:47:53consider it payback
00:47:55for the affair you've been having.
00:47:56It's so obvious.
00:47:57These two are sleeping together.
00:47:58Just look at that.
00:47:59Call me mistress one more time
00:48:00and trickle your problems.
00:48:01Trespassing,
00:48:02burglary,
00:48:03slander.
00:48:03Okay, well,
00:48:04she didn't mean to.
00:48:05Too late.
00:48:05I'll be like orange.
00:48:06That'll be the only color
00:48:07in your closet
00:48:08for the next three to five years.
00:48:11Go ahead and arrest us.
00:48:12Parade us on the evening news
00:48:14and drag your boss
00:48:15through public humiliation
00:48:16and just see how the world reacts
00:48:18to this so-called affair
00:48:19you're having.
00:48:20I don't bluff.
00:48:21Wait, wait, wait.
00:48:22Please.
00:48:23Don't press charges.
00:48:24It's my mom.
00:48:27My sister.
00:48:29If you spare them,
00:48:30I'll let Chris go.
00:48:32If you want them,
00:48:33you can have them.
00:48:34Just don't destroy my family.
00:48:36Sophia.
00:48:36I have never wanted him like that.
00:48:38I respect him.
00:48:39I'm his fixer,
00:48:40not his mistress.
00:48:40That's all.
00:48:41At least escort them
00:48:43off their premises.
00:48:44No.
00:48:44No need.
00:48:45A Donovan
00:48:46doesn't overstay
00:48:47their welcome.
00:48:54Hey,
00:48:55Sophie.
00:48:56Come on.
00:48:57Listen.
00:48:58I can make it up to you,
00:48:59okay?
00:49:00I promise.
00:49:01I might have to start small,
00:49:02but I don't know.
00:49:04In the car
00:49:05that you were talking about,
00:49:05I'll get it for you.
00:49:06Come on.
00:49:07Chris,
00:49:07you can't afford it.
00:49:09Why do you keep
00:49:10trying to do this?
00:49:13It's not the reason
00:49:13why I married you.
00:49:18I promise you
00:49:19I'm going to make this right.
00:49:21Trust me.
00:49:33It's beautiful.
00:49:34It certainly is.
00:49:36It's yours.
00:49:38If you want it.
00:49:39If you can't afford it,
00:49:41sweetie,
00:49:41maybe don't touch.
00:49:43Lil,
00:49:43look at what the cat dragged in.
00:49:45Chris Bell.
00:49:46Professional failure.
00:49:47And the girl dumb enough
00:49:48to still believe in him.
00:49:49Hi, Lauren.
00:49:50What are you doing here?
00:49:52This car starts at 100k.
00:49:54This isn't a selfie museum.
00:49:56We were just looking.
00:49:58At what?
00:49:58Your reflections?
00:49:59You can't afford
00:50:00the merchandise.
00:50:01Babes,
00:50:02remember what I said?
00:50:02The poor come to luxury rooms
00:50:04like tourists at the zoo.
00:50:06They gawk and stare
00:50:07and then they leave.
00:50:10What color was you liking?
00:50:14The pearl.
00:50:15I've always liked white.
00:50:17Still playing billionaire.
00:50:18I saw the headlines.
00:50:20Apex,
00:50:21bankrupt,
00:50:21fraudulent,
00:50:22blah, blah.
00:50:22You went from visionary
00:50:24to visionary.
00:50:25Tell you what,
00:50:26if you're real nice,
00:50:27we'll let you sit in the backseat
00:50:28so you can smell the upholstery.
00:50:32We need two.
00:50:34White and black.
00:50:35With the fastest trim on both.
00:50:37Oh, baby.
00:50:38Look at that.
00:50:39Performance theater.
00:50:40Start the paperwork.
00:50:42Use crayons.
00:50:44Here's my card.
00:50:45Chris.
00:50:46It's fine.
00:50:49This is going to be fun.
00:50:55Hear that, babes?
00:50:57That's the sound of desperation.
00:50:59It's so sad.
00:51:00Maybe it's a system issue.
00:51:04The system works fine for people with money.
00:51:07Okay.
00:51:08Just run a manual authorization.
00:51:09It says there's insufficient funds.
00:51:14Breaking news.
00:51:15The Apex Group Emperor
00:51:17has no clothes
00:51:18and no credit,
00:51:19apparently.
00:51:20Honey,
00:51:21there are plenty of great use lots
00:51:23in the Valley
00:51:24and they have free coffee, too.
00:51:25Just call your supervisor.
00:51:27Enable the corporate rails.
00:51:28Corporate rails?
00:51:30Someone learned a new phrase
00:51:31on TikTok.
00:51:32Cute shade.
00:51:33Is this a Black Diamond
00:51:35or the Party City Edition?
00:51:41Where'd you get those?
00:51:42Out of a claw machine
00:51:43at Chuck E. Cheese?
00:51:44Counterfeits of crime is slick.
00:51:46Call your manager.
00:51:47Now.
00:51:48And you two?
00:51:49You should be very scared.
00:51:51Not of me,
00:51:52but of your boss
00:51:53when he finds out
00:51:54who you've been insulting.
00:51:55We run this floor.
00:51:56Keep talking.
00:51:57Maybe we'll get you
00:51:58a complimentary keychain
00:51:59on the way out.
00:52:00Chris,
00:52:00are those real?
00:52:01They certainly are.
00:52:02What's the problem here?
00:52:03Mr. Stone,
00:52:05parking timing.
00:52:07This broke customer
00:52:08is trying to buy a vehicle
00:52:09with a dead stack of plastic.
00:52:11Those are those.
00:52:13Those would be mine.
00:52:14It looks like your terminal
00:52:15is refusing corporate authorization.
00:52:19Terminal 2.
00:52:21Enable Bank Direct.
00:52:24Wait a minute.
00:52:25This isn't just Black Diamond.
00:52:26This is...
00:52:28Supreme Tier.
00:52:30Only if you exist.
00:52:32Run it.
00:52:33Now!
00:52:39And, sir?
00:52:41Of course.
00:52:49My apologies,
00:52:50Mr. Bell.
00:52:52Mr. Bell.
00:52:54Welcome.
00:52:55I do apologize
00:52:56that you weren't recognized
00:52:57sooner,
00:52:57and on behalf of my salespeople,
00:52:59who are completely incompetent...
00:53:01It must be a mistake.
00:53:02No, it's no mistake.
00:53:03I want both of you off my floor.
00:53:05Let's head to the detail bay.
00:53:06I got a couple of cars
00:53:07that need to wash.
00:53:08You were just trying
00:53:09to protect the dealership.
00:53:10By insulting a VIP.
00:53:12And his lovely wife.
00:53:14Mrs. Bell,
00:53:15I sincerely apologize.
00:53:17In this showroom,
00:53:18we take pride
00:53:19in excellence
00:53:19and discretion.
00:53:21We failed you both today.
00:53:23Mr. Stone, please.
00:53:24This man is not a VIP.
00:53:25He's a bankrupt loser, sir.
00:53:26I'm going to take back
00:53:27what I said.
00:53:27You're both fired.
00:53:30You can't do that.
00:53:31I'm your top salesperson.
00:53:32Correction.
00:53:33You were.
00:53:34Now you're just a liability.
00:53:35Oh, this is crazy.
00:53:36So it is approved once.
00:53:38I mean, it's a glitch.
00:53:58This is a glitch.
00:54:00Mr. Stone,
00:54:01we were only trying
00:54:02to do our job.
00:54:03He's a con man.
00:54:03Haven't you seen the headlines?
00:54:04Maybe you shouldn't listen
00:54:05to everything you read
00:54:06on the internet.
00:54:07Sophia,
00:54:08we were high school classmates.
00:54:10Please, say something.
00:54:12You were awful to me
00:54:13back then, too.
00:54:14You always will just be the same.
00:54:17You think standing next to him
00:54:19makes you a somebody?
00:54:20All it makes you
00:54:21is a plus one
00:54:22to a worthless nobody.
00:54:24When the money dries up
00:54:25and it will,
00:54:26you'll be the one
00:54:26hoarding food stamps
00:54:27while he's hiding
00:54:28in a dental collection.
00:54:29I've heard enough.
00:54:31Security,
00:54:31let's hoard these two.
00:54:33You can play rich
00:54:34all you want,
00:54:35but we know exactly
00:54:36what you are.
00:54:36Nothing!
00:54:40Get him out of here.
00:54:45Chris,
00:54:47how can you afford
00:54:47all these cars?
00:54:50Oh,
00:54:52the rumors about
00:54:53my company's death
00:54:53may be
00:54:55premature.
00:54:56Look,
00:54:56I can't explain it.
00:54:58It's not yet.
00:55:02I need you to trust me.
00:55:04Just a little while longer.
00:55:06Okay?
00:55:07I won't let you die.
00:55:14Hey, Vic.
00:55:16Yeah?
00:55:17Oh, I'm ready.
00:55:19It's time to finish
00:55:20what we started.
00:55:23Langford Capital's hosting
00:55:24a shareholder meeting
00:55:25tomorrow at 3 p.m.
00:55:27I'm going to be making
00:55:27a surprise keynote.
00:55:29What are you up to?
00:55:31Just bring the whole family.
00:55:33Make sure you sit
00:55:34in the front row.
00:55:41Security's in its place.
00:55:42The press is in the pen.
00:55:43The exit route
00:55:44is the service corridor
00:55:44in case anyone
00:55:45in the room gets feral.
00:55:46They won't.
00:55:47Prepare for the
00:55:47worst case scenario.
00:55:49And after?
00:55:50After you can breathe,
00:55:52maybe apologize
00:55:53to the one person
00:55:53who deserves it.
00:56:02Even if she never
00:56:02forgives me,
00:56:03the truth is simple.
00:56:05I did this for us.
00:56:19Good afternoon,
00:56:20ladies and gentlemen.
00:56:21Thank you for coming.
00:56:22Before we begin today,
00:56:23I'd like to make
00:56:24an announcement.
00:56:25Today, Langford Capital
00:56:27has protected its future
00:56:28by joining forces
00:56:29with Baron Holdings.
00:56:33Hey, wait up.
00:56:35Hey!
00:56:35I was serious back there,
00:56:37alright?
00:56:37With Apex Group
00:56:38crashing and burning,
00:56:39the future could be ours.
00:56:41Merge with Langford Capital.
00:56:43We could bury
00:56:44our competition.
00:56:45We'd be unstoppable.
00:56:51You see, my dear?
00:56:53Well, Derek is building
00:56:55an empire.
00:56:56Your husband is circling
00:56:57the drain.
00:56:58You chose wrong, darling.
00:57:00Looking forward
00:57:01to today's agenda.
00:57:02The first thing we will do
00:57:02is be looking at
00:57:03last quarter's
00:57:04financial results.
00:57:05This is going to be...
00:57:19Isn't that Chris Bell?
00:57:21I heard he was homeless
00:57:22and bankrupt.
00:57:24Oh, God.
00:57:25He's about to humiliate
00:57:25himself again.
00:57:27Maybe they'll catch it
00:57:28on camera.
00:57:29Chris Bell,
00:57:30crashing my party.
00:57:31Bold move.
00:57:32Pointless.
00:57:34the pole.
00:57:35You don't belong
00:57:36in this room.
00:57:37You said it yourself.
00:57:38You're toxic.
00:57:39Correction.
00:57:40I own this room.
00:57:41And it's not the only thing
00:57:43that I own.
00:57:44What are you
00:57:45battling on about?
00:57:46I own
00:57:47Baron Holdings, too.
00:57:50That's insane.
00:57:51Impossible.
00:57:52Not possible.
00:57:54Calculate.
00:57:55You see,
00:57:56while Derek was busy
00:57:57gloating about
00:57:57my supposed bankruptcy,
00:57:59Apex Global
00:58:00quietly built
00:58:01his shadow position
00:58:01in Baron Holdings.
00:58:03So by the time
00:58:04he poured the champagne
00:58:05and whispered
00:58:05sweet mergers
00:58:06in Marina's ear,
00:58:07I already owned
00:58:08her board.
00:58:09So,
00:58:10when Langford merged
00:58:12with Baron just this morning,
00:58:13guess whose controlling vote
00:58:15dictated
00:58:16the time you see.
00:58:19Derek,
00:58:20that merger
00:58:21that you bragged about,
00:58:22it wasn't your crowning move.
00:58:24It was my endgame.
00:58:28It wasn't your crowning move.
00:58:29It was my endgame.
00:58:31Baron swallowed Langford whole.
00:58:32And since I own Baron,
00:58:34that makes me
00:58:35majority shareholder in both,
00:58:36which means,
00:58:37Derek,
00:58:38I'm not crashing your meeting.
00:58:41I'm running it.
00:58:43That can't be true.
00:58:44We saw the bankruptcy planings.
00:58:46He is bluffing.
00:58:47He has to be bluffing.
00:58:48He's pathological.
00:58:49He's such a liar.
00:58:50You're finished.
00:58:52Effective.
00:58:53Immediately.
00:58:53You can't do that.
00:58:54I just did.
00:58:56And Marina,
00:58:58that cushy seat next to him,
00:59:00well, that's gone too.
00:59:00Fortunately,
00:59:01you aligned yourself
00:59:02with the wrong savior.
00:59:03Now,
00:59:03you both report to me.
00:59:05In fact,
00:59:05let's make it official.
00:59:07Derek Langford
00:59:08and Marina Baron,
00:59:09you both are documented.
00:59:13I own the board.
00:59:15I own the vote.
00:59:17And now,
00:59:20I own you.
00:59:40I'm sure you all are wondering why I let the world think I was finished.
00:59:44Why I let everyone write my obituary.
00:59:46Why I just sat by quietly.
00:59:50Because when the predators start to circle,
00:59:52you don't raise a red flag.
00:59:55You play dead.
00:59:56You let them think that they've already won.
01:00:00But I hate the first move.
01:00:02Because if I didn't,
01:00:04they certainly would have.
01:00:05They weren't just eyeing a marriage between Langford and Baron.
01:00:08They were coming for Apex, too.
01:00:11Every seat,
01:00:12every share.
01:00:14And when the dust settled,
01:00:15they would have left us
01:00:16with absolutely nothing.
01:00:18While you're making a confession to your wife,
01:00:21you can just tell her everything.
01:00:22Including our affair.
01:00:25Oh, people.
01:00:26You hear that, Soph?
01:00:27Your knight in shining armor
01:00:28is actually just another cheating bastard.
01:00:30So what happened?
01:00:31You're torturing our family
01:00:32and then humiliating our sister?
01:00:34Look,
01:00:35I already told you.
01:00:36This guy's a police.
01:00:38Tell me it's not true.
01:00:42You already know the answer to that.
01:00:44Of course it's not.
01:00:46She's desperate.
01:00:47Don't torture yourself,
01:00:49sweetheart Edward.
01:00:50Remember the documents you signed
01:00:51before the wedding?
01:00:52I am sure
01:00:53they are an Iron Clan prenup.
01:00:55Yeah.
01:00:56I bet every dollar
01:00:57that he shielded his stake
01:00:58with Apex Global.
01:00:59So you'll be left with nothing
01:01:00either way.
01:01:01It's funny that you bring up
01:01:02those documents.
01:01:08Go on.
01:01:09Read it.
01:01:11Out loud.
01:01:15This isn't a prenup.
01:01:17Of course it is.
01:01:18Don't be blind.
01:01:18You're not a lawyer,
01:01:19Sophia.
01:01:20I'm sure he tricked you
01:01:21into giving away everything.
01:01:23It's a transfer of
01:01:24controlling income.
01:01:26Chris May be majority
01:01:27shareholder of Apex Global
01:01:29before the wedding.
01:01:31No.
01:01:32No.
01:01:33No, no, no, no.
01:01:35She's worth $80 billion
01:01:37which makes her
01:01:38the richest person in this world.
01:01:40Oh, my God.
01:01:43Uh, uh, uh, uh,
01:01:44Sophia, uh,
01:01:45sweetheart,
01:01:46um, we, we, we were wrong.
01:01:48Uh, we just,
01:01:48we didn't understand.
01:01:50Look, I swear to you, it's...
01:01:50Oh, yeah, you know
01:01:51that we were here
01:01:52and everything that we did.
01:01:54I mean, stupid, maybe,
01:01:55but to a family.
01:01:57Sophia, please.
01:01:58Now, listen.
01:01:59We are on our knees.
01:02:01Please.
01:02:02We're only looking out
01:02:02for your best.
01:02:04Sweetheart.
01:02:05Sweetheart.
01:02:06After everything
01:02:07we did for you,
01:02:08you owe us.
01:02:10We are your,
01:02:11your flesh
01:02:12and blood
01:02:13and
01:02:14we need your help.
01:02:15We don't need much.
01:02:16Just, um,
01:02:19a, a billion orb.
01:02:20Two, just...
01:02:21After everything
01:02:22I finally see the truth.
01:02:25Chris believed in me
01:02:25when no one else did.
01:02:31And I choose it.
01:02:34Soph,
01:02:35I'm sorry I had to hide this from you,
01:02:38but trust me
01:02:39when I say
01:02:39I did this for us.
01:02:42It was truthfully
01:02:44the only merger
01:02:45that ever really mattered.
01:02:46It was you and me, Soph.
01:02:49I love you.
