00:00:26Everything we need for the next 72 hours.
00:00:28It's liquid, untouchable.
00:00:32Derek has already started moving against you.
00:00:34Lining up investors, whispering about Apex's collapse.
00:00:37He wants to destroy you, Chris.
00:00:40Exactly how I planned.
00:00:42You can't bait a shark without a little blood in the water.
00:00:45I've already sent over the forged balance sheets.
00:00:47The fake foreclosure notices.
00:00:48Enough evidence to convince the world that Apex is circling the drain.
00:00:51He'll think he's scooped everyone.
00:00:53Good.
00:00:54Give him what he wants.
00:00:55The company on its knees.
00:00:56And while he gloats, we prepare the kill shot.
00:01:01The shareholder vote is in three days.
00:01:03When we move, Apex swallows Langford Capital whole.
00:01:06And when the dust settles, Derek won't just lose the company.
00:01:11He knows everything.
00:01:12That's what we do.
00:01:17Go to yournak.

00:14:17I have been worried about Jack for a long time
00:14:19so for the past six months
00:14:20I've been working with specialists at Apex

00:14:29laugh all you want
00:14:31but this could be the only thing that can actually cure him
00:14:32this isn't some medical breakthrough
00:14:35this is all about your ego
00:14:37because you cannot stand the fact that we all know
00:14:40that you are useless
00:14:41so you just make up fantasies
00:14:44I mean what is next Chris

00:14:49what are you just gonna bring him over to the garage
00:14:50and hook him up to jumper cables
00:14:52you're a fraud

00:14:53if you lay a finger on him
00:14:54you'll kill him faster than the disease itself
00:14:59I've also been sending messages

00:15:04Chief of Medicine over at Crestview Hospital
00:15:06a real doctor with real credentials
00:15:09and expensive
00:15:10but he's worth it
00:15:12because unlike your made up magical cure
00:15:15he's not gonna kill my father
00:15:16that's what a real son-in-law does
00:15:19he is generous
00:15:20and he is serious about families

00:19:47It's just blind luck.
00:19:48It's some kind of fluke.
00:19:49Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
00:19:52I'll take that as a thank you.
00:19:55Jack, get some rest.
00:19:57I'll leave a monitor here overnight and check on you in the morning.
00:20:01Thank you, Dr. Hargrove.
00:20:03It's okay.
00:20:06Oh, thanks.
00:20:07Oh, back, sweetie.
00:20:09Babe, didn't you say that you had some special surprise in the car for a match?
00:20:14Yes, yes, I did.
00:20:15My favorite little guy.
00:20:16Max, let's go.
00:20:18Come on, buddy.
00:20:19It's enough doom and gloom around here.
00:20:21It's time for this family to have some fun.
00:20:23And for you to finally see how a real man provides for his family.
00:20:33Limited edition, custom-made job.
00:20:36You can only get one of these if you know somebody.
00:20:39Go get it, tiger.
00:20:45You see, Chris, this is what a real son-in-law does.
00:20:50He provides status, toys, and joy.
00:20:53Boy's got a left foot on the pedal.
00:20:55I'm sorry, Chris.
00:20:57Everyone will come round.
00:20:58I'll make it up to yourself.
00:20:59I promise.
00:21:00It won't be like this for long.
00:21:01Face it, Chris.
00:21:02You could literally never get anything like this for your kid.
00:21:06Well, unless you found an abandoned one at the thrift store he shops at.
00:21:10Oh, baby, look how fast he's going.
00:21:12That's my boy.
00:21:18Hey, Victoria.
00:21:19I need you to do me one more favor.
00:21:22This looks so cool.
00:21:24Only the best for my boy.
00:21:25Oh, my boy.
00:21:29Whoa.
00:21:30It's like details.
00:21:35Yeah?
00:21:36Arriving now, boss.
00:21:37Thanks, Vic.
00:21:39Quick announcement, everyone.
00:21:40I have a surprise for you all outside.
00:21:42Oh, yeah?
00:21:43What is it?
00:21:43A coupon for a half-off pizza?
00:21:45Maybe it's a pawn shop conca truck.
00:21:48No.
00:21:50That's something money can't buy.
00:21:56Hey, let's go, Max.
00:21:59Let's go take this baby girl.
00:22:00Yeah.
00:22:04Look at him go.
00:22:05Let's go, Max.
00:22:07Oh, my God.
00:22:08Oh, that has to be fake.
00:22:10No one would let a child play with something like that.
00:22:13What am I looking at?
00:22:14The fleet of top-of-the-line prototypes.
00:22:16Fully safe, fully licensed.
00:22:17The only one of its kind of the country.
00:22:18Do you expect us to believe that he could afford to bring something like this to our house?
00:22:24It's pretty neat, huh?
00:22:25This is a cool scene.
00:22:27That can happen?
00:22:28What?
00:22:28No, no.
00:22:29You know, Max, don't get too excited.
00:22:31Yeah.
00:22:31They're knockoffs.
00:22:33Cheap imports made to look expensive.
00:22:35It happens all the time.
00:22:36They're probably defective, sweetie.
00:22:38Max.
00:22:38Max.
00:22:38And yet, he parades it on my front lawn in some kind of pathetic attempt to convince us that
00:22:44he's some powerful big shot.
00:22:46Chris, how did you afford this?
00:22:49It must have cost millions of dollars.
00:22:51Yeah, Chris.
00:22:52Are you actually bankrupt or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:22:57Are you actually bankrupt or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:23:01Damn it.
00:23:02I overplayed my hand.
00:23:04Showing off a fleet of DARPA prototypes was a bad move.
00:23:08I didn't buy them.
00:23:09I borrowed them from a friend.
00:23:11They're on loan from a defense contractor I did some consulting for.
00:23:17Chris, you don't have to keep doing this.
00:23:19Trying to prove yourself to my family.
00:23:21Let them think of whatever they want.
00:23:23The more they underestimate me, the better.
00:23:29I didn't see it before.
00:23:31Now, it's clear as day.
00:23:33You're a real con man, aren't you, Chris?
00:23:35Just squirreling away whatever scraps of money you can find and then just linging it at gadgets.
00:23:42Mom.
00:23:42No, Sophia.
00:23:43Look at us.
00:23:44My husband is sick.
00:23:45This house is bleeding us dry.
00:23:48And you, instead of improving her station in life, you just throw cash at toys.
00:23:55You disgust me.
00:23:56He didn't buy them.
00:23:57Then he took out a bunch of IOUs.
00:23:59Listen to me.
00:24:00When that company comes to collect, we are all in a lot of trouble.
00:24:06You know, I'm just going to say it.
00:24:07I'm not giving you a cent.
00:24:09No, no, no.
00:24:10I'm not going to be bankrolling my grifter of a brother-in-law who is just trying to hustle us
00:24:15all out of money.
00:24:16Listen, none of you need to pay anything.
00:24:18So if you don't pay, then who does?
00:24:20How does a skid row reject like you afford something like that?
00:24:23I don't have to pay either.
00:24:24So what?
00:24:25You just call in a favor at the Pentagon?
00:24:28Oh, you have DARPA on speed dial?
00:24:31Oh, wow!
00:24:33As a matter of fact, yes, I do.
00:24:37Anyway, it's none of your concern.
00:24:39You know, all this idle chit-chat I completely forgot.
00:24:43You two need to sign the annulment papers.
00:24:45I'd be happy to take you as my wife.
00:24:48Sophia, you deserve a partner who can put a diamond on your finger and not dirt under your nails.
00:24:53It's time to move on from this charlatan.
00:24:56Sophia, why don't we just put an end to this and we can forget it ever happened.
00:25:18Sophia, don't let pride get in the way of you making the right decision.
00:25:23Sophia, he is not the same man that you married.
00:25:26Sophia, no one would blame you.
00:25:27It's modern times so.
00:25:29Nobody takes wedding vows seriously anymore.
00:25:32It's all free love, free marriage.
00:25:35You should trade up while you still can.
00:25:36We can go to the courthouse right now.
00:25:38We can get it all done tonight.
00:25:39An annulment, marriage.
00:25:41Two for one.
00:25:42Enough!
00:25:42God!
00:25:44I am still right here.
00:25:46And if you keep insulting me and Sophia, don't be surprised if we walk out of here for good.
00:25:51Together.
00:25:53There it is.
00:25:54Anger.
00:25:55Typical impotent man's weapon.
00:25:57Violence and empty threats.
00:25:59Don't make it worse.
00:26:01Sophia, are you listening to what they're saying?
00:26:03They're trying to force us to annul our marriage.
00:26:06Don't talk.
00:26:07But they're just in shock.
00:26:09I'm not in shock.
00:26:11Tomorrow morning, Chris, you will take my daughter down to the courthouse and get an annulment
00:26:17and end this sham of a union.
00:26:19And I'll be right there to say I do.
00:26:24He thinks he's already won.
00:26:26But in less than 72 hours, Langford Capital will belong to me.
00:26:31Your company going under wasn't the only bombshell I discovered.
00:26:34A little birdie told me that $100 million went missing from Apex Group's cash reserves.
00:26:39So you're a liar and a thief!
00:26:42And after I spilled the beans of Chris's bankruptcy, I got another tip.
00:26:47Apparently Apex Group's Fortune 500 cover boy supposedly rewired a massive loan from a Swiss bank to an offshore account.
00:26:55Oh, Chris!
00:26:57Have you no shame?
00:26:58That explains the miracle medicine and the military toys outside this house!
00:27:03It matches all of it.
00:27:05Case closed.
00:27:06I knew it!
00:27:07You're not only worthless, but you are a criminal!
00:27:10Did you hear that?
00:27:10If I deliver you, a deadbeat fraud, to the authorities, I get a major reward.
00:27:15And could you imagine the headlines?
00:27:17And I would earn good favor with the president.
00:27:20His whole campaign was run on bringing down corporate corruption.
00:27:23I'd probably get invited to the White House.
00:27:24Derek, you're the fraud.
00:27:26Dummy.
00:27:29Lock the doors.
00:27:31We need to make sure he doesn't make a run for it.
00:27:38Lock the doors.
00:27:39We need to make sure he doesn't make a run for it.
00:27:41He's still my husband.
00:27:43He's family.
00:27:44Family?
00:27:44If Chris gets arrested, it drags us all down.
00:27:48You want a hundred million dollar debt tied to our family name?
00:27:51Who do you think the government's going to come after when Chris can't pay you?
00:27:54Oh my god!
00:27:55You're right, honey!
00:27:56Stop.
00:28:00Sophia.
00:28:00Honey.
00:28:01Listen to me.
00:28:03I don't owe anything.
00:28:07He's lying.
00:28:09Is he?
00:28:10Or have you been deceiving me all along?
00:28:16Exactly.
00:28:17You know, from what I can tell, it's Chris telling lies.
00:28:21You steal a hundred million dollars to come to the house of an innocent family and you're
00:28:24flaunted?
00:28:24That is disgusting.
00:28:25You're a sick man.
00:28:26There is one way out.
00:28:28Annulment.
00:28:28Immediately.
00:28:30As long as Sophia cuts off these ties, as long as the Donovan family draws clear lines,
00:28:35his debt dies with him.
00:28:37Sophia, I can still give you the future you deserve.
00:28:40With me.
00:28:47Yes!
00:28:48Divorce him!
00:28:49And then you can marry Derek.
00:28:51I mean, look at him.
00:28:53He has real power and real money.
00:28:56And then this family can rise instead of crashing with Chris.
00:29:01Why are you just standing around?
00:29:03Go on.
00:29:04Annul the marriage and end it with this fraud.
00:29:07Mom.
00:29:08He just lost his way for a moment.
00:29:10Oh, no.
00:29:11Why are you still shielding him?
00:29:13I don't mind.
00:29:13The two of you are in a sink.
00:29:15But you will not drown the Donovan family with you.
00:29:19He may be going through a rough patch, but he's been good to me.
00:29:24I'll leave with him.
00:29:28We won't be your burden.
00:29:32Sophia, I will always protect you.
00:29:34I'll always make you happy, even if it's the last thing I do.
00:29:42Eric, please.
00:29:44Don't ruin it.
00:29:46You're still defending him?
00:29:47This cockroach of a man?
00:29:50For the sake of our paths, I'm begging you.
00:29:52Have mercy.
00:29:54Absolutely not.
00:29:55If he runs, the fallout comes back on us.
00:29:58Sophia, you are going to send me to an early grave.
00:30:02Here's what's going to happen.
00:30:05My security detail is waiting just outside for me.
00:30:08They come in.
00:30:09They haul Chris's ass down to Langford Capital.
00:30:11While he's sitting in the basement storage room, we'll have Sophia sign the annulment papers.
00:30:17Brilliant.
00:30:18You can teach this pawn scum a lesson.
00:30:20That's him.
00:30:21Take it.
00:30:21I dare you.
00:30:23Put one finger on me and you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
00:30:27Big talk coming from a broken con man.
00:30:29I'll have you dragged out of here in cuffs and the Donovan family will thank me.
00:30:34You're going to play this game?
00:30:35Go on, Derek.
00:30:37Make your move.
00:30:39Detain him now.
00:30:41Oh, shit.
00:30:42Oh, my gosh.
00:30:44Oh, he's at the mall.
00:30:45He's at the mall.
00:30:45He's at the mall.
00:30:48Oh, yes.
00:30:51Don't worry.
00:30:52Once they're through with him, he'll thank me for saving you.
00:30:56Sophia, remember, I did this for you.
00:31:00For us.
00:31:03Take him.
00:31:04Yeah.
00:31:05Wait, don't.
00:31:06Stop.
00:31:06Stop.
00:31:16After the bankruptcy week, my board wants answers.
00:31:19You don't believe the rumors?
00:31:20Leaks can be planted.
00:31:21I don't lie for a second if the apex is broke.
00:31:24So this is a fact-finding mission.
00:31:26If the headlines are true, then we cut and run.
00:31:28But if not, this family may be sitting on a gold mine and not even realize it.
00:31:40Oh, my God.
00:31:41Oh, my God.
00:31:41Oh, my God.
00:31:47Oh, my God.
00:31:49I Googled her, and the pictures on the Google looked like the pictures of the woman who was
00:31:53standing outside.
00:31:53Don't you know what this means?
00:31:55She is the creditor come to collect on a minor crystal.
00:31:57Oh, my God.
00:31:58We're so screwed, and Sophia is still legally tied to Chris if she connects the dots?
00:32:03The bastard.
00:32:03He hasn't been dragging us down since day one.
00:32:05Are you happy now?
00:32:06What do we do?
00:32:06We can't let her in.
00:32:09She is the most powerful woman on the street.
00:32:10If we don't let her in, we look guilty.
00:32:12Okay, but, like, hear me out.
00:32:13Like, what if she's not here to collect on Chris's debts?
00:32:16Sweetheart, what?
00:32:17Don't be naive.
00:32:18Then, okay, here's what we do.
00:32:19We tell her that we kicked Chris out, and then we forced Sophia to sign the annulment papers,
00:32:23and we never touched a dime of his money.
00:32:26You should have gone to the courthouse hours ago.
00:32:28Hold on.
00:32:30Let me call my friend at the courthouse.
00:32:31Maybe he can backdate something for us.
00:32:33Yes.
00:32:34Daddy's got it.
00:32:35No.
00:32:36He isn't lying.
00:32:38He didn't steal a hundred billion dollars.
00:32:41Okay, Sophia, you look so demure right now, but my priority is protecting my family.
00:32:47He is my family.
00:32:48Well, then you need to decide.
00:32:50It's either him or us.
00:32:52I'm not signing anything today.
00:32:54Do you want bonus?
00:32:55You need to grow up.
00:32:56The world runs on money and power, and your husband has neither.
00:33:00Okay, that's what we're going to do.
00:33:02We're going to let her in.
00:33:03We're going to smile.
00:33:04We're going to be gracious, and we're going to make it abundantly clear that we have cut ties
00:33:08with Chris completely.
00:33:09Completely.
00:33:09And that means you.
00:33:11If she asks about the marriage, you say it's already been annulled.
00:33:15Do you understand?
00:33:16You are not going to drag us down with...
00:33:20Smith, game time.
00:33:22Game time.
00:33:22Let her in.
00:33:24Okay, smiles.
00:33:27Oh, Miss Barrett.
00:33:29What an honor.
00:33:30I believe your son-in-law works with one of our affiliate banks.
00:33:34I thought since I'm in town, I'd put a face to the name that I have heard such good things
00:33:38about.
00:33:39Tom Hayden, Assistant VP, Commercial Lending.
00:33:41Mentioned on our vendor list last year.
00:33:44Tom.
00:33:45It's a pleasure.
00:33:45Anything you need, you get my full attention.
00:33:48I appreciate that.
00:33:50Thank you, sweetheart.
00:33:52While I'm here, I thought I'd clear up a few questions that the market has been whispering
00:33:58about.
00:33:59Questions?
00:34:00Okay.
00:34:01Apex Group.
00:34:02If Chris Bell truly is at the helm, then the bankruptcy rumors don't add up.
00:34:07I know this was his last address on file.
00:34:10Is he here?
00:34:24Is he here?
00:34:27Chris, oh no, he is a loser who we kicked out and we cut ties with.
00:34:32Completely.
00:34:32You did what?
00:34:33And the marriage to our daughter.
00:34:36That's been an old.
00:34:37He is no longer part of the family.
00:34:39Actually, he's a shit stain.
00:34:40And if he's in trouble, that's his problem.
00:34:43These idiots have no idea what they've done.
00:34:47Miss Barron, I don't think you understand.
00:34:51We despise him.
00:34:52And if we could cut him up into like tiny, little, itty-bitty, bite-sized pieces, we would.
00:34:59Excuse me, cut him to what now?
00:35:01Small pieces.
00:35:02And that's not all I would do.
00:35:03If I could, I would skin him alive.
00:35:06I would break every bone in his body.
00:35:09And then I would suck his blood dry.
00:35:15He's scary.
00:35:17He just never really knew his place.
00:35:19He clung to Sophia and then he used all of us.
00:35:23So you thought Chris Bell was not good enough to marry into this family?
00:35:27No.
00:35:28Oh, bingo.
00:35:30Don't you worry.
00:35:31The world is better with him buried in a ditch.
00:35:33I'm sorry.
00:35:34Where is he now?
00:35:38Derek's security detail took him to Langford Capital.
00:35:41Yes.
00:35:41The guards have probably already beat him halfway to death.
00:35:43But don't worry, Miss Barron.
00:35:44I mean, none of us here feel sorry for him.
00:35:46And I think I speak on behalf of everyone on this couch when I say we'd all be a lot
00:35:50happier
00:35:50if they just finished the job.
00:35:56You said that he was at Langford Capital?
00:35:58Yeah, in a storage room in the basement.
00:35:59Derek wanted to take him to a place where nobody could hear him scream.
00:36:02Right.
00:36:04Yes.
00:36:04Oh.
00:36:06Congratulations.
00:36:07You just made the biggest mistake of your lives.
00:36:12What?
00:36:12Oh.
00:36:13What?
00:36:14That did sound good.
00:36:15What the hell's our problem?
00:36:16Yeah, and why all of a sudden does she care about Chris and his well-being?
00:36:21No.
00:36:22She's sleeping with him.
00:36:24Oh, yes.
00:36:25Yes, yes.
00:36:26Excuse me?
00:36:27I mean, why else would a woman like that care about financial corpses?
00:36:30Oh, it's all so clear now.
00:36:33Yeah, the drones that theatrics Chris was trying to impress her.
00:36:37Baron Holdings, they protect their own.
00:36:39She's probably fun meeting him on the side.
00:36:41Probably a lot more than that.
00:36:42Uh-huh.
00:36:43Hopefully.
00:36:44That's true, and they're still entangled.
00:36:46We need to sever ties immediately.
00:36:49Tomorrow morning, no delays, the papers.
00:36:51No nuts.
00:36:52Whoa.
00:36:53I won't be part of your gossip milk.
00:36:55Well, it's not gossip if it's obvious, Sophia.
00:36:58It's obvious that you'll do anything to make Chris look better.
00:37:01Yeah, that's enough.
00:37:02As long as you are still married to him.
00:37:04Our family is on the chopping block for his reckless failings.
00:37:08You are either too naive or too stupid to say it.
00:37:26No, I'm in papers.
00:37:28Sign them and we're done.
00:37:30You think this basement scares me?
00:37:32You have no idea what's coming.
00:37:42Good news, asshole.
00:37:44Your wife's family is ready to be reasonable.
00:37:48Then I guess I don't need to sign anything.
00:37:50Cute.
00:37:52Sign the goddamn papers.
00:37:55Oh, Derek.
00:37:56You keep taking my silence for surrender.
00:38:00This is your last chance, brother.
00:38:02Hmm?
00:38:03If you refuse, I'll buy Apex Group myself.
00:38:06And then I'll sell it for scraps like a junkyard car.
00:38:09Hmm?
00:38:11So what's it going to be?
00:38:13Time's ticking.
00:38:16Derek.
00:38:19You can go straight to hell.
00:38:25Make him regret that choice.
00:38:34This is going to make you sign one way or another.
00:38:37Last chance to take the easy way out.
00:38:40More fun would that be.
00:38:48Oh, light him up like a Christmas tree.
00:38:51Yuck!
00:39:04Is that all you got?
00:39:20Sign it properly.
00:39:22I'll make sure that every nerve in your body is fried, rendering you useless.
00:39:33Touch him again, and I'll make sure this entire building is on lockdown before sunrise.
00:39:38What the hell is this?
00:39:39Kidnapping?
00:39:40Extortion?
00:39:41Attempted murder?
00:39:43Oh, he's a fraud and a liar.
00:39:47He's a two-bit Bernie Madoff hack.
00:39:49Whatever rumors you've heard about Apex Group, the story isn't adding up.
00:39:54Who the fuck are you?
00:39:56Marina Barron.
00:39:59Barron Holdings.
00:40:01Oh, shit.
00:40:04She's about to destroy my whole plan.
00:40:07Oh, listen.
00:40:10Marina, I really appreciate what you're trying to do here, but he's right.
00:40:16I'm a fraud.
00:40:20I have multiple contacts, credible sources inside.
00:40:25They're wrong.
00:40:26Trust me.
00:40:28That's how I'm sick.
00:40:30You don't want anything to do with me.
00:40:33I must have been wrong about him.
00:40:35We should sit down and talk.
00:40:37I like the way you operate.
00:40:42We never see that Chris guy again.
00:40:44I don't think we will.
00:40:45I think we really scared him off last time.
00:40:47Oh, my God.
00:40:49Look what the cab's ragged in.
00:40:51Chris.
00:40:56You thought you'd get rid of me, huh?
00:40:58Well, I'm not dead yet.
00:41:05Stay right there.
00:41:08Unbelievable.
00:41:09He just crawls right back into our home like a stray.
00:41:12Somebody should call the animal control.
00:41:14No need.
00:41:15We can evict him ourselves.
00:41:18Tonight.
00:41:19Good.
00:41:22Sophia.
00:41:26Look at me.
00:41:29No looks.
00:41:30You are not a husband.
00:41:32You are not a son-in-law.
00:41:34And you are not part of this family anymore.
00:41:37Tom.
00:41:39Show him the door.
00:41:40Oh, absolutely.
00:41:41Oh, but don't let him step on the lawn because the gardener just planted my favorite flowers.
00:41:44And if he steps on them, I'll just be so obsessed.
00:41:46Of course I did.
00:41:47All right.
00:41:48I know where the door is, Tom.
00:41:51Are you coming with me?
00:41:57Don't you dare.
00:42:00Do you want to kill your father with the stress?
00:42:06Do you want that on your conscience?
00:42:15Chris, I'm sorry.
00:42:27You're going to regret this.
00:42:30All of you.
00:42:32For every word, every choice that you made today.
00:42:37Sure, whatever.
00:42:39Just put it in a greeting card.
00:42:40There's the door, Jim.
00:42:44I'm not giving up on this.
00:42:51Oh, good riddance.
00:42:54Hey.
00:42:55Yeah?
00:42:55Someone's going to need to change the locks.
00:42:59Okay, yes.
00:43:01You're welcome.
00:43:02I love you.
00:43:09Vic, it's me.
00:43:12Do it.
00:43:13All of them.
00:43:15I want each one of them begging for mercy.
00:43:19Got that green cheese.
00:43:21That's a cute one of Max.
00:43:23Oh, oh.
00:43:25Hello?
00:43:26Oh.
00:43:27Yeah.
00:43:29Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:43:31But I've...
00:43:32What do you mean effective immediately?
00:43:33I've headed that committee for three years.
00:43:35No, no, no.
00:43:36There has to be some mistake.
00:43:37I just closed the Fulton account.
00:43:38No, no, no, no.
00:43:39Wait, you can't...
00:43:40Revoke?
00:43:40No, I...
00:43:40Wait, wait, wait.
00:43:41You can't just restructure me out.
00:43:43I signed the promotion paperwork.
00:43:45Hello?
00:43:46Hello?
00:43:50Oh, my God.
00:43:51I was just fired.
00:43:53Me, too.
00:43:55And they're rolling back my bonus,
00:43:57reviewing irregularities.
00:43:59What just happened?
00:44:03It's Chris.
00:44:04The man is so toxic,
00:44:06he's taking us all down with him.
00:44:08Our brother-in-law's company
00:44:10is publicly outed as bankrupt
00:44:12and riddled with fraud,
00:44:13and then both of our careers
00:44:15just go up in smoke?
00:44:16That is not a coincidence.
00:44:18Wait a minute.
00:44:19So he shits the bed,
00:44:21and you two are collateral damage?
00:44:24Yes!
00:44:24You see?
00:44:25This is why I say
00:44:26sever ties.
00:44:28You don't know
00:44:29that Chris was the cause of this.
00:44:31Oh!
00:44:32Don't be naive.
00:44:33He makes enemies
00:44:33wherever he comes,
00:44:35and we are expected
00:44:36to foot the bill.
00:44:37We're not eating this.
00:44:39Not after everything.
00:44:40The city still owes
00:44:42on a demolition payout.
00:44:44Chris's childhood home
00:44:45is in the redevelopment zone.
00:44:47He is still owed
00:44:49a check
00:44:49for them tearing it down.
00:44:51So...
00:44:52We collect it as compensation
00:44:53for everything he put us through.
00:44:55Oh, you can't just take it.
00:44:56Watch us.
00:44:57We will file a claim
00:44:58through the executive loop
00:45:00or whatever place, okay?
00:45:01By the time Chris figures out
00:45:03the money's gone,
00:45:04it's too late.
00:45:05It's ours.
00:45:05Yeah.
00:45:06We don't need to suffer
00:45:07for his incompetence.
00:45:09He will pay it out.
00:45:11Do it.
00:45:11Make him pay back
00:45:12every dollar he owes
00:45:14this family.
00:45:15That house
00:45:16is the only memory
00:45:18he has left of his parents.
00:45:20Well, he should have
00:45:20thought about that
00:45:21before he tanked his business
00:45:22and poisoned our names.
00:45:25We'll get the paperwork going.
00:45:26County records office
00:45:27open to the morning.
00:45:28You're so smart, babe.
00:45:29You're saving the day.
00:45:32You see?
00:45:33We take care of her.
00:45:36God,
00:45:37anyone
00:45:38fucks
00:45:39with the Donovitz!
00:45:45To anyone else,
00:45:46this is a run-down
00:45:46old house.
00:45:48But for me,
00:45:49it's home.
00:45:55Lostad,
00:45:55you're the last holdout.
00:45:56Just sign the property
00:45:57over and no one gets hurt.
00:45:58This house
00:45:59is the last thing
00:46:00left of my parents.
00:46:01You want it?
00:46:03We're gonna have to
00:46:03tear it down
00:46:04with me in it.
00:46:09Oh, I knew Chris
00:46:11would be here.
00:46:12Get him to agree
00:46:14and that demolition payment
00:46:15is ours!
00:46:16It's his house
00:46:17and our survival.
00:46:19Don't you see it?
00:46:21His mess
00:46:21has already cost us
00:46:22money,
00:46:23jobs,
00:46:24status.
00:46:25You'll get him
00:46:26to sign it over
00:46:27because you're
00:46:27a darling first.
00:46:41SofÃa.
00:46:44Hi!
00:46:49Go on.
00:46:50Isn't there something
00:46:51you want to say to him?
00:46:55Chris, I...
00:46:56I know how important
00:46:58this was just...
00:46:59Oh, just spit it out already!
00:47:02Please.
00:47:04Don't ask me to do this.
00:47:05Don't listen to him.
00:47:07He will just drag us down
00:47:08until we have nothing left.
00:47:10Go on.
00:47:11Talk some sense into him.
00:47:12He is going to bury us
00:47:14with him, SofÃa.
00:47:15And what about Dad?
00:47:17Huh?
00:47:17He's gonna kill him
00:47:18faster than the heart disease
00:47:19ever would.
00:47:27Carissa.
00:47:27I'm sorry.
00:47:31It's just a lot of money.
00:47:34Okay, that's enough talking.
00:47:35Excuse me?
00:47:37Excuse us.
00:47:38I need more stuff.
00:47:40Oh, I hate these stairs.
00:47:41They're the first to go,
00:47:42I think.
00:47:42I think.
00:47:51Ugly.
00:47:52Hideous.
00:47:53Horrible.
00:47:55Oh!
00:47:56Well, this
00:47:57has to be a knock-off.
00:47:59Chris's parents
00:48:00could never afford
00:48:01the real thing.
00:48:02Bag it, babe.
00:48:03Yes, ma'am.
00:48:05Oh-ho.
00:48:07What is in here, huh?
00:48:10Pretty pricey
00:48:11for someone
00:48:11who can't even
00:48:12afford lunch meat, huh?
00:48:13Those belong to my grandmother.
00:48:14Oh, well.
00:48:16Then she should have
00:48:17taken them
00:48:17to the grave with her.
00:48:19These deadbeats
00:48:20sure know how
00:48:21to keep up appearances.
00:48:22Oh, wow.
00:48:23This is fancy.
00:48:25Tom, off the wall,
00:48:26in the bag now.
00:48:27Yep.
00:48:27Now, let me ask you, Chris.
00:48:29Were your mom and dad
00:48:31kleptomaniacs?
00:48:33Oh.
00:48:34Look at this.
00:48:36Somebody was very busy
00:48:37in kindergarten art class.
00:48:39My mother made that, okay?
00:48:40That's the last thing
00:48:41I have of hers.
00:48:42Oh.
00:48:43Well.
00:48:44Mom certainly wasn't
00:48:45Michelangelo.
00:48:47Whoa!
00:48:53Oops.
00:48:57That was priceless.
00:49:01Hmm.
00:49:01Well, uh,
00:49:03not anymore.
00:49:06Chris.
00:49:08I'm sorry.
00:49:12I'm working.
00:49:13Well, you had a
00:49:13like that.
00:49:14It's demolition time!
00:49:15Oh!
00:49:16Oh!
00:49:17Wonderful!
00:49:20Oh, I hope
00:49:21you took pictures, Chris.
00:49:23Is this dump right here
00:49:24or is about to be
00:49:24a pile of rubble?
00:49:25Let's go, boys!
00:49:29Woo!
00:49:38All right, great.
00:49:39You got a big bulldozer.
00:49:40But this house
00:49:41does not move.
00:49:42Not one brick.
00:49:43Move aside, Mel.
00:49:44Unless you want to get
00:49:45flattened out like a
00:49:45fucking pancake.
00:49:48Then you're gonna have to
00:49:49take me out.
00:49:52If this house goes down,
00:49:53it's landing on top of me.
00:49:55How pathetic.
00:49:56He's gonna martyr himself
00:49:57over a shithole.
00:49:58Well, at least that
00:49:59saves us the paperwork.
00:50:24Who the fuck is it?
00:50:30If that bulldozer moves
00:50:32another inch,
00:50:32I will bury your little
00:50:33demolition racket
00:50:34in federal court.
00:50:37Kickbacks?
00:50:37Forged bids?
00:50:39Half of your payroll
00:50:40are ghosts.
00:50:41You don't think I see
00:50:42every wire transfer?
00:50:46This isn't over.
00:50:47Yes, it is.
00:50:49Walk.
00:50:53How sad.
00:50:56Yet another woman
00:50:58swooping in
00:50:59to rescue you.
00:51:01Come on,
00:51:03we're done here.
00:51:06I didn't want it
00:51:07to be like this.
00:51:08It doesn't have to be.
00:51:09If you just stay with me.
00:51:11Oh.
00:51:12What?
00:51:12So you can have
00:51:13another mistress?
00:51:15Look, I can explain
00:51:16all of this.
00:51:18Just...
00:51:18Not yet.
00:51:20Oh, Mystery Man
00:51:21has some secret
00:51:22timetable, hmm?
00:51:23Hmm, maybe he's
00:51:24under an NDA.
00:51:25Let me translate
00:51:26for you, my dear.
00:51:28A man who has
00:51:29to explain
00:51:30is a man
00:51:31who is alive.
00:51:32You can do better.
00:51:34Okay.
00:51:35You want to know
00:51:36the truth?
00:51:40The truth is,
00:51:42Victoria is not
00:51:42my mistress.
00:51:43She works for me.
00:51:45She's Apex Group's
00:51:46fixer.
00:51:47And I'm the
00:51:47Queen of Monaco.
00:51:49She has no power.
00:51:50Your company
00:51:51is a laughingstock.
00:51:52It is a disgrace.
00:51:53Not only are you
00:51:54delusional,
00:51:55but you also think
00:51:55you're a bunch of fools.
00:51:57Do you see
00:51:58the sickness in this?
00:51:59He has created
00:52:00this whole fantasy
00:52:01where he's still
00:52:02rich and his
00:52:03assistant is
00:52:04some kind of
00:52:05Tony Soprano.
00:52:07If that's true,
00:52:09why did you
00:52:10keep it for me?
00:52:11Why keep her secret?
00:52:13Because she works
00:52:14in the shadows.
00:52:16And I couldn't...
00:52:18Oh, there it is.
00:52:20The sentence ends
00:52:21before the truth
00:52:22begins.
00:52:23So what?
00:52:24We're supposed to
00:52:25hang our livelihoods
00:52:26off of...
00:52:27Just trust me, babe.
00:52:29He wants you to think
00:52:30it's a business
00:52:31relationship.
00:52:32But it's a cover
00:52:33for a sham,
00:52:35for an affair,
00:52:36for a bunch of lies
00:52:37that he thinks
00:52:38you are too stupid
00:52:40to see.
00:52:40I can't breathe.
00:52:42Don't.
00:52:43Don't.
00:52:52I want to send you
00:52:53a moment.
00:52:56Well,
00:52:56compensation first.
00:52:57Let's do the calculations.
00:52:59Um, let's see.
00:53:00Reputational harm,
00:53:02employees lost,
00:53:03and, um,
00:53:04distress.
00:53:04Oh, I was also
00:53:05very distressed.
00:53:06And you know what
00:53:07sounds good to me?
00:53:08Round numbers.
00:53:10You know,
00:53:11I think eight figures
00:53:12keeps it neat,
00:53:13but multiple aids
00:53:14keeps it fair.
00:53:15Yeah.
00:53:15You owe us
00:53:16for what you cost us.
00:53:19Fuck off.
00:53:20Well, not till
00:53:20we get what we want.
00:53:21I tell you what,
00:53:22why don't you send us
00:53:23a cool 50 mil
00:53:24from one of those
00:53:25offshore accounts
00:53:26that we heard you have?
00:53:28Oh!
00:53:30You called the police.
00:53:32I did.
00:53:33I reported a few
00:53:35trespassers.
00:53:36We're not trespassing.
00:53:38This is my son-in-law,
00:53:40and we are reclaiming
00:53:41what is ours.
00:53:42Officer,
00:53:43I'd like to report
00:53:43on active burglary.
00:53:44No, no, no.
00:53:45You cannot arrest us.
00:53:46Sophia is still married
00:53:48to Chris,
00:53:48so his assets
00:53:49are community property.
00:53:51Sir,
00:53:51is this your residence?
00:53:55No.
00:53:56It belonged to my parents.
00:53:57Well, then,
00:53:58consider it payback
00:53:59for the affair
00:54:00you've been having.
00:54:01It's obvious.
00:54:02These two are sleeping together.
00:54:03Just look at them.
00:54:04Call me mistress
00:54:05one more time
00:54:06and trickle your problems.
00:54:07Trespassing,
00:54:08burglary,
00:54:09slander.
00:54:09Okay, well,
00:54:10she didn't mean to.
00:54:11Too late.
00:54:12I'll be like orange.
00:54:13That'll be the only color
00:54:14in your closet
00:54:14for the next three to five years.
00:54:17Go ahead
00:54:18and arrest us.
00:54:19Parade us on the evening news
00:54:20and drag your boss
00:54:21through public humiliation
00:54:23and just see how the world
00:54:24reacts to this
00:54:25so-called affair
00:54:26you're having.
00:54:27I don't bluff.
00:54:28Wait, wait, wait.
00:54:30Please.
00:54:31Don't press charges.
00:54:32It's my mom.
00:54:35My sister.
00:54:37If you spare them,
00:54:39I'll let Chris go.
00:54:41If you want him,
00:54:42you can have him.
00:54:43Just don't destroy my family.
00:54:45Sophia.
00:54:46I have never wanted him
00:54:47like that.
00:54:48I respect him.
00:54:49I'm his fixer,
00:54:50not his mistress.
00:54:51That's all.
00:54:52At least escort them
00:54:53off the premises.
00:54:54No, no need.
00:54:57Adonovan
00:54:57doesn't overstay
00:54:59their welcome.
00:55:06Hey, I'm Sophia.
00:55:08Come on.
00:55:09Listen.
00:55:11I can make it up to you, okay?
00:55:13Promise.
00:55:14I might have to start small,
00:55:16but I don't know.
00:55:18The car that you were talking about,
00:55:19I'll get it for you tomorrow.
00:55:21Yes, you can't afford it.
00:55:24Why do you keep trying to do this?
00:55:25Listen, it's not the reason
00:55:29why I married you.
00:55:32Hey, I promise you
00:55:35I'm going to make this right.
00:55:37Trust me.
00:55:50It's beautiful.
00:55:52It certainly is.
00:55:54It's yours.
00:55:56If you want it.
00:55:57If you can't afford it, sweetie,
00:55:59maybe don't touch.
00:56:01Lil, look at what the cat dragged in.
00:56:04Chris Bell.
00:56:05Professional failure.
00:56:06And the girl dumb enough
00:56:07to still believe in him.
00:56:09Hi, Lauren.
00:56:10What are you doing here?
00:56:11This car starts at 100k.
00:56:14This isn't a selfie museum.
00:56:17We were just looking.
00:56:18At what?
00:56:19Your reflections?
00:56:20You can't afford the merchandise.
00:56:22Babes, remember what I said.
00:56:24The poor come to luxury rooms
00:56:26like tourists at the zoo.
00:56:28They gawk and stare
00:56:29and then they leave.
00:56:33What color would you like?
00:56:37The pearl.
00:56:38I've always liked white.
00:56:40Still playing billionaire.
00:56:42I saw the headlines.
00:56:44Apex, bankrupt, fraudulent, blah, blah.
00:56:47You went from visionary to vision.
00:56:49Tell you what,
00:56:51if you're real nice,
00:56:52we'll let you sit in the back seat
00:56:53so you can smell the upholstery.
00:56:57We need two.
00:56:59White and black.
00:57:01But the fastest trim on both.
00:57:03Oh, baby.
00:57:04Look at that.
00:57:05Performance theater.
00:57:06Start the paperwork.
00:57:08Use crayons.
00:57:10Use my card.
00:57:11Chris.
00:57:12That's fine.
00:57:16This is going to be fun.
00:57:23Hear that, babes?
00:57:25That's the sound of desperation.
00:57:27It's so sad.
00:57:29Maybe it's a system issue.
00:57:34The system works fine
00:57:35for people with money.
00:57:37Okay.
00:57:37Just run a manual authorization.
00:57:40It says there's insufficient funds.
00:57:45Breaking news.
00:57:46The Apex Group Emperor
00:57:48has no clothes
00:57:49and no credit, apparently.
00:57:52Honey,
00:57:53there are plenty of great used lots
00:57:55in the valley
00:57:56and they have free coffee, too.
00:57:57Just call your supervisor.
00:57:59Enable the corporate rails.
00:58:01Corporate rails?
00:58:03Someone learned a new phrase on TikTok.
00:58:05Cute shade.
00:58:07Is this a black diamond
00:58:08or the Party City edition?
00:58:10Oh, baby.
00:58:12Thanks.
00:58:15Where'd you get those?
00:58:16Out of a claw machine
00:58:17at Chuck E. Cheese?
00:58:18Counterfeits of crime is slick.
00:58:21Call your manager now.
00:58:23And you two?
00:58:24You should be very scared.
00:58:26Not of me,
00:58:27but of your boss
00:58:28when he finds out
00:58:29who you've been insulting.
00:58:31We run this floor.
00:58:32Keep talking.
00:58:33Maybe we'll get you
00:58:34a complimentary keychain
00:58:35on the way out.
00:58:36Chris, are those real?
00:58:38They certainly are.
00:58:39What's the problem here?
00:58:40Mr. Stone.
00:58:43Perfect timing.
00:58:44This broke customer
00:58:45is trying to buy a vehicle
00:58:47with a dead stack of plastic.
00:58:50Those are those.
00:58:51Those would be mine.
00:58:52It looks like your terminal
00:58:54is refusing corporate authorization.
00:58:58Terminal two.
00:59:00Enable bank direct.
00:59:04This isn't just Black Diamond.
00:59:07This is...
00:59:08Supreme tier.
00:59:11Only a few exist.
00:59:13Run it.
00:59:14Now!
00:59:21Pen?
00:59:22Sir?
00:59:23Of course.
00:59:32My apologies, Mr.
00:59:34Bell.
00:59:36Mr. Bell.
00:59:37Welcome.
00:59:38I do apologize
00:59:39that you weren't recognized
00:59:40sooner
00:59:41and on behalf of my salespeople
00:59:43who are complete incompetent...
00:59:45It must be a mistake.
00:59:47No, it's no mistake.
00:59:48I want both of you off my floor.
00:59:50Let's head to the detail bay.
00:59:51I've got a couple of cars
00:59:52that need a wash.
00:59:53You were just trying
00:59:54to protect the dealership.
00:59:56I insult her VIP.
00:59:58And his lovely wife.
01:00:00Mrs. Bell,
01:00:02I sincerely apologize.
01:00:04In this showroom,
01:00:05we take pride in excellence
01:00:06and discretion.
01:00:08We failed you both today.
01:00:11Mr. Stone, please.
01:00:12This man is not a VIP.
01:00:13He's a bankrupt loser.
01:00:14I'm going to take back
01:00:15what I said.
01:00:16You're both fired.
01:00:18You can't do that.
01:00:19I'm your top salesperson.
01:00:21Correction.
01:00:21You were.
01:00:22You're just a liability.
01:00:23This is crazy.
01:00:25So it is approved once.
01:00:27I mean, it's a glitch.
01:00:50This is a glitch.
01:00:51This is a glitch.
01:00:52Mr. Stone,
01:00:53we were only trying to do our job.
01:00:55He's a con man.
01:00:56Haven't you seen the headlines?
01:00:57Maybe you shouldn't listen
01:00:58to everything you read
01:00:59on the internet.
01:01:01Sophia,
01:01:02we were high school classmates.
01:01:04Please,
01:01:04say something.
01:01:05You were awful to me
01:01:07back then, too.
01:01:08You always
01:01:09will just be the same.
01:01:12You think standing next to him
01:01:13makes you a somebody?
01:01:15All it makes you
01:01:16is the plus one
01:01:17to a worthless nobody.
01:01:19When the money dries up
01:01:20and it will,
01:01:21you'll be the one
01:01:22hoarding food stamps
01:01:23while he's hiding
01:01:24in the debt collector.
01:01:25I've heard enough.
01:01:27Security,
01:01:28let's hoard these two.
01:01:30You can play rich
01:01:31all you want,
01:01:32but we know exactly
01:01:33what you are.
01:01:34Nothing!
01:01:37Get him out of here.
01:01:42Chris,
01:01:44how can you afford
01:01:45all these cars?
01:01:48Uh,
01:01:50the rumors about
01:01:51my company's death
01:01:52may be
01:01:54premature.
01:01:55Look,
01:01:55I can't explain it.
01:01:57Just,
01:01:58not yet.
01:02:02I need you to trust me.
01:02:04Just,
01:02:05a little while longer.
01:02:06Okay?
01:02:08I won't let you down.
01:02:16Hey,
01:02:16Vic.
01:02:18Yeah?
01:02:20Oh,
01:02:20I'm ready.
01:02:22It's time to finish
01:02:23what we started.
01:02:26Langford Capital
01:02:26is hosting
01:02:27a shareholder meeting
01:02:28tomorrow at 3 p.m.
01:02:30I'm going to be
01:02:31making a surprise keynote.
01:02:33What are you up to?
01:02:35Just bring the whole family.
01:02:38Make sure you sit
01:02:38in the front row.
01:02:47Security's in its place.
01:02:48The press is in the pen.
01:02:49The exit route
01:02:49is the service corridor
01:02:50in case anyone
01:02:51in the room gets feral.
01:02:52They won't.
01:02:53Prepare for the
01:02:54worst case scenario.
01:02:55And after?
01:02:57After you can breathe.
01:02:59Maybe apologize
01:03:00to the one person
01:03:01who deserves it.
01:03:10Even if she never
01:03:11forgives me,
01:03:12the truth is simple.
01:03:14I did this for us.
01:03:29Good afternoon,
01:03:30ladies and gentlemen.
01:03:31Thank you for coming.
01:03:33Before we begin today,
01:03:34I'd like to make
01:03:34an announcement.
01:03:36Today,
01:03:37Langford Capital
01:03:38has protected
01:03:38its future
01:03:39by joining forces
01:03:41with Barron Holdings.
01:03:45Hey, wait up.
01:03:47Hey!
01:03:48I was serious
01:03:49back there,
01:03:49alright?
01:03:50With Apex Group
01:03:51crashing and burning,
01:03:52the future could be ours.
01:03:54Merge with Langford Capital.
01:03:56We could bury
01:03:57our competition.
01:03:59We'd be unstuck.
01:04:05You see, my dear?
01:04:07Well, Derek
01:04:09is building an empire.
01:04:11Your husband
01:04:11is circling
01:04:12the drain.
01:04:14You chose wrong, darling.
01:04:16Looking forward
01:04:16to today's agenda.
01:04:18The first thing
01:04:18we will do
01:04:19is be looking at
01:04:19last quarter's
01:04:20financial results.
01:04:22This is going
01:04:37isn't that
01:04:37Chris Bell?
01:04:39I heard
01:04:40he was homeless
01:04:41and bankrupt.
01:04:42Oh, God.
01:04:43He's about to
01:04:44humiliate himself
01:04:45again.
01:04:46Maybe they'll
01:04:47catch it on camera.
01:04:48Chris Bell,
01:04:49crashing my party.
01:04:51Bold move.
01:04:52Pointless.
01:04:54But cold.
01:04:55You don't belong
01:04:56in this room.
01:04:57You said it yourself.
01:04:59You're toxic.
01:05:00Correction.
01:05:01I own this room.
01:05:02And it's not
01:05:04the only thing
01:05:05that I own.
01:05:06What are you
01:05:07babbling on about?
01:05:08I own
01:05:09Baron Holdings, too.
01:05:12That's insane.
01:05:14Impossible.
01:05:15Not possible.
01:05:17Calculate.
01:05:18You see,
01:05:19what Derek was busy
01:05:20gloating about
01:05:20my supposed
01:05:21bankruptcy,
01:05:23Apex Global
01:05:23quietly built
01:05:24a shadow position
01:05:25in Baron Holdings.
01:05:27So by the time
01:05:28he poured the champagne
01:05:29and whispered
01:05:30sweet mergers
01:05:30in Marina's ear,
01:05:32I already owned
01:05:33her board.
01:05:34So,
01:05:35when Langford
01:05:37merged with Baron
01:05:38just this morning,
01:05:39guess who's
01:05:40controlling vote
01:05:41dictated
01:05:42the terms?
01:05:45Derek,
01:05:47that merger
01:05:48that you bragged about,
01:05:49it wasn't
01:05:50your crowning move.
01:05:52It was my endgame.
01:05:54It wasn't
01:05:56your crowning move.
01:05:57It was my endgame.
01:05:58Baron swallowed Langford
01:05:59whole,
01:06:00and since I
01:06:00own Baron,
01:06:02that makes me
01:06:03majority shareholder
01:06:04in vote,
01:06:04which means,
01:06:05Derek,
01:06:06I'm not crashing
01:06:08in your meeting.
01:06:10I'm running it.
01:06:12That can't be true.
01:06:14We saw the bankruptcy
01:06:15filings.
01:06:16He is bluffing.
01:06:16He has to be bluffing.
01:06:18He's pathological.
01:06:19He's such a liar.
01:06:20You're finished.
01:06:22Effective.
01:06:23Immediately.
01:06:24You can't do that.
01:06:25I just did.
01:06:27And Marina,
01:06:29that cushy seat
01:06:30next to him,
01:06:31well,
01:06:31that's gone too.
01:06:32Fortunately,
01:06:33you aligned yourself
01:06:33with the wrong savior.
01:06:35Now,
01:06:35you both report
01:06:37to me.
01:06:37In fact,
01:06:38let's make it official.
01:06:39Derek Langford
01:06:40and Marina Baron,
01:06:42you both
01:06:43are just
01:06:44needed.
01:06:46I own the board.
01:06:48I own the board.
01:06:51And now,
01:06:54I own you.
01:07:16I'm sure you all
01:07:17are wondering
01:07:18why
01:07:18I let the world
01:07:19think I was finished.
01:07:21Why I let
01:07:22everyone write
01:07:23my obituary.
01:07:24why I just sat by quietly.
01:07:28Because when the predators
01:07:29start to circle,
01:07:31you don't raise
01:07:31a red flag.
01:07:34Play dead.
01:07:35You let them think
01:07:37that they've already won.
01:07:39But I need
01:07:40the first move.
01:07:42Because if I didn't,
01:07:44they certainly would've.
01:07:45They weren't just
01:07:46eyeing a marriage
01:07:47between Langford
01:07:48and Baron.
01:07:49They were coming
01:07:50for Apex, too.
01:07:52every seat,
01:07:53every share.
01:07:55And when the dust
01:07:56settled,
01:07:57they would've left us
01:07:58with absolutely
01:07:59nothing.
01:08:00While you're making
01:08:01confessions to your wife,
01:08:03you might as well
01:08:03tell her everything.
01:08:05Including
01:08:05our affair.
01:08:08You hear that,
01:08:09so?
01:08:10Your knight in shining armor
01:08:11is actually just another
01:08:12cheating bastard.
01:08:14So what, huh?
01:08:15You're torching our family
01:08:16and then humiliating
01:08:17our sister?
01:08:18Hmm?
01:08:18Look,
01:08:19I already told you.
01:08:21This guy's a poison.
01:08:23Tell me it's not true.
01:08:26You already know
01:08:27the answer to that.
01:08:28Of course it's not.
01:08:31She's desperate.
01:08:32Don't torture yourself,
01:08:34sweetheart.
01:08:35Remember the documents
01:08:36you signed
01:08:37before the wedding?
01:08:38I am sure
01:08:39they are an Iron
01:08:40Clan prenup.
01:08:41Yeah.
01:08:42I bet every dollar
01:08:43that he shielded
01:08:44his stay with Apex Global.
01:08:45He'll be left with
01:08:46nothing either way.
01:08:48It's funny that you
01:08:49bring up those documents.
01:08:56Go on.
01:08:58Read it.
01:08:59Out loud.
01:09:04This isn't a prenup.
01:09:06Of course it is.
01:09:07Don't be blind.
01:09:08You're not a lawyer,
01:09:09Sophia.
01:09:10I'm sure he tricked you
01:09:11into giving away everything.
01:09:13It's a transfer
01:09:14of controlling interest.
01:09:17Christy Nady,
01:09:18majority shareholder
01:09:19of Apex Global.
01:09:21Before the wedding.
01:09:22No.
01:09:24No.
01:09:25No, no, no, no.
01:09:26I don't believe
01:09:27that she's worth
01:09:2880 billion dollars,
01:09:30which makes her
01:09:31the richest person
01:09:32in this world.
