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.
00:01:16What the heck?
00:01:21What is the name?
00:01:24.
00:01:28Oh my God.
00:01:31How well.
00:01:39Lord, today we are blessed beyond measure, not only because it is the day of your wedding,
00:01:45but because we are blessed with a son-in-law that is a CEO of Apex Group, a man of
00:01:49vision,
00:01:50a man of means.
00:01:51A billionaire who will protect our daughter and build our family legacy.
00:01:56Finally, the Donovan name will carry the weight that it deserves.
00:02:00To Sophia, and to a future where we will want for nothing.
00:02:12Do you, Sophia Donovan, take Chris Bell to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:02:19I do.
00:02:21Then by the power vested in me,
00:02:24stop this wedding!
00:02:28Your billionaire groom is nothing but a frog.
00:02:40Chris Bell, CEO of Apex Group?
00:02:44Right.
00:02:45Try bankrupt loser.
00:02:47Whoa.
00:02:48That's right.
00:02:49Apex Group is ruined.
00:02:53Sophia, you're about to marry a penniless con man.
00:02:58And I have the proof.
00:03:05It can't be true.
00:03:06What is going on here?
00:03:07I think I'm going to be sick.
00:03:08Gentlemen.
00:03:12Gentlemen.
00:03:12Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:03:13Wait.
00:03:14Oh my God.
00:03:14I'm going to be sick.
00:03:15Help.
00:03:16By order of accordance.
00:03:18Help me up.
00:03:18No.
00:03:19Move.
00:03:20You fraud.
00:03:24And property of the bank.
00:03:28No.
00:03:40Hey, stop.
00:03:41That cake costs more than your salary.
00:03:46Oh.
00:03:48Oh.
00:04:12Is it really true?
00:04:16Are you broke?
00:04:21I hate lying to her, but she can't know the truth.
00:04:25Not yet.
00:04:29Yes.
00:04:33Wedding is just such a nightmare.
00:04:34I mean, what a waste of an open bar.
00:04:36I think you got one martini.
00:04:37It's embarrassing.
00:04:38I'm going to have to pay for this whole fucking thing.
00:04:42I tried to warn you.
00:04:43Chris was never the man he said he was.
00:04:45You don't have to go home to that deadbeat bum.
00:04:48You deserve better.
00:04:49You deserve someone who can actually take care of you.
00:04:51Not now, Derek.
00:04:52I just got married.
00:04:54Just think about it.
00:04:56You and me, we always made more sense.
00:05:00Sophia!
00:05:13Well, it worked?
00:05:14Still feels like I'm putting a knife on her back.
00:05:17No one can know that Apex is broke.
00:05:19Not even Sophia.
00:05:20And there's a bonus.
00:05:21If she stays with you on your penniless, you'll know she truly loves you.
00:05:24She's not a test, Victoria.
00:05:26She's my wife.
00:05:27Full, hostile takeover.
00:05:29We just need to wait 72 hours until the shareholder meeting.
00:05:32And when it lands, Derek won't know what hit him.
00:05:38I can't tell her yet.
00:05:40Not until the takeover is complete and our future is secure.
00:05:57You have some nerve walking in here.
00:06:00This is Sophia's home.
00:06:03She's my wife.
00:06:04Wife?
00:06:04You tricked her.
00:06:06You tricked all of us.
00:06:07You brought gifts.
00:06:08That makes you part of this family?
00:06:10Well, I thought since we'll be spending time together...
00:06:13This is rich.
00:06:14Correction, not rich.
00:06:15More like bankrupt.
00:06:17You think money is the most important thing, but it's not.
00:06:20Chris is a good person.
00:06:21He's honest, and he treats me with respect.
00:06:24All right, well, let's see what you brought us anyway.
00:06:26Just a couple tokens of my appreciation, Charlotte.
00:06:30I'm aware you like a nice glass of red before bed, so I got that from you.
00:06:34And Jack, this is a very rare book.
00:06:37I thought it would be good for your collection.
00:06:40Books?
00:06:41He brought us books?
00:06:42What are we supposed to do with a book, Chris?
00:06:44We're supposed to read our way out of debt?
00:06:46You could have brought Monopoly money.
00:06:48It's the same value.
00:06:51Not even French.
00:06:53California.
00:06:54This is bottom shelf swill.
00:06:59You know, I got that from a small vineyard.
00:07:01I thought you would appreciate the backstory.
00:07:04The backstory?
00:07:05We love stories, like fairy tales.
00:07:08You mean like the fairy tale where you're a billionaire?
00:07:11Oh, I love that one.
00:07:12That's a good one.
00:07:14You're so funny.
00:07:23Burns well.
00:07:24Look at that.
00:07:34Thank you, John.
00:07:46Nice.
00:07:48That seat is for family.
00:07:50What?
00:07:51He can sit at the end if he's so desperate to eat.
00:07:55I hope you don't mind scraps, champ.
00:07:57That's usually all that's left over when it gets to the end of the table.
00:07:59Especially after you.
00:08:00Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah.
00:08:05Sophia.
00:08:07You know, you could still get an annulment tonight.
00:08:11Oh, my dear, that is a brilliant idea.
00:08:14You know, I still have Judge Wagner on speed dial.
00:08:17I'll just give him a call.
00:08:18I bet he would be here in about ten minutes.
00:08:19Mom, please.
00:08:20What?
00:08:21Just put your phone in bed.
00:08:23Fine.
00:08:24But I don't see the point in waiting.
00:08:27Okay, everyone.
00:08:28To my beautiful Sophia, you deserve the world.
00:08:32But instead, you got a pathetic drifter.
00:08:43It looks good.
00:08:44It's a cow.
00:08:45Hey, handsome.
00:08:47Bottoms up.
00:08:52Bottoms up.
00:08:59I guess I should have gone with the white.
00:09:03Butterfingers.
00:09:06Would you all give it a rest already?
00:09:08Whoa.
00:09:08Excuse me.
00:09:09You brought him into our home.
00:09:11And the next thing you know, he's eating our food, fucking our sister, and asking for gas money.
00:09:18That is not a son-in-law.
00:09:20It's a parasite.
00:09:22Don't talk about my husband like that.
00:09:23He doesn't even have the guts to defend himself.
00:09:32Just eat.
00:09:34Please.
00:09:41What do you think you're doing?
00:09:48Sophia hasn't eaten much, so I thought I'd...
00:09:50Oh, the pauper is trying to play the provider now.
00:09:55Maybe your wife just lost her appetite because she married a stone bro shit heel.
00:10:00Don't strain yourself, Chris.
00:10:02You might pull a muscle trying to lift this chunk of protein.
00:10:06You know, Chris, the good food is for people that contribute.
00:10:09Not you, princess.
00:10:19Bon appΓ©tit.
00:10:24You sit under this room, eating our food, moving in, and freeloading.
00:10:30What is it exactly that you bring to the table?
00:10:33Well, for one, I married your daughter.
00:10:42And what, you think that makes you automatically a part of this family?
00:10:46You think that marrying Sophia is some kind of gift to us?
00:10:49It's not a gift.
00:10:50It's a burden.
00:10:52It's a liability.
00:10:53It's a state.
00:10:54Please, Mom.
00:10:55Don't let him hear it.
00:10:56You want to be part of this family, then?
00:10:57You need to know your place.
00:10:59Because you're nobody's son-in-law.
00:11:01You're just a dog that we let in the back door.
00:11:05So go ahead, kid.
00:11:07Eat up.
00:11:08Woof, woof.
00:11:34That's a good boy.
00:11:42You know, Sun Tzu says, patience is the key to victory.
00:11:46And I am a very patient man.
00:11:50Look at this guy.
00:11:51I mean, he doesn't even fight back.
00:11:52Not a word.
00:11:53It's because he knows it's true.
00:11:54He's nothing.
00:11:55Just a worthless half-wit.
00:11:57And to think, my daughter is married to a man who can't even afford to buy her flowers,
00:12:01let alone put a roof over her head.
00:12:03Well, what do we have here, huh?
00:12:06A happy bride and her poor little groom.
00:12:09Derek, what a surprise.
00:12:10Well, you certainly have a hop in your step.
00:12:13Indeed I do.
00:12:15Lankford Capital just secured a quarter of a billion dollars in financing.
00:12:19Record profits.
00:12:20We're expanding faster than any other company on the market.
00:12:22Oh my god.
00:12:24A quarter billion?
00:12:25That's incredible.
00:12:26Oh my god, we're just getting started.
00:12:27By next spring, Lankford Capital will be the biggest and the best private equity fund in
00:12:32the country, especially with Apex Groups circling the drain.
00:12:36Isn't that right, Chris?
00:12:40Imagine if Sophia married Derek.
00:12:43I think about that.
00:12:45Every single day.
00:12:46Mom, you were thrilled when I married Chris this morning.
00:12:48Yes, I was.
00:12:49But secretly, I was hoping you'd end up with Derek.
00:12:54I'll tell you what.
00:12:55Family sticks together.
00:12:56Tom, we're hiring brilliant minds over at Lankford Capital, and I have just the position
00:13:00for you.
00:13:00How about head of the Strategic Wealth Fund?
00:13:06You hear that?
00:13:07That is what a son-in-law does.
00:13:10He builds.
00:13:11He protects.
00:13:12He provides.
00:13:13And he doesn't lie to you.
00:13:16Sneaking up.
00:13:17It's not too late.
00:13:19You can still fix it.
00:13:23Just unknow the marriage and walk away.
00:13:27I already told you.
00:13:29I don't want to hear it.
00:13:31You can...
00:13:33Well...
00:13:34Sign...
00:13:35Sign...
00:13:35This paper...
00:13:37And annul this marriage.
00:13:38Mom, please, sign it!
00:13:41You will not drag...
00:13:43The Donovan family down with you!
00:13:46Mom, stop!
00:13:47Sign the divorce papers!
00:13:49And annul this marriage now!
00:14:01Jack!
00:14:02Oh my god!
00:14:04Jack!
00:14:06Yes!
00:14:07Yes!
00:14:08Somebody to your side!
00:14:11Oh my god!
00:14:12You're texting while my father is having a heart attack?
00:14:15He's probably texting his side piece already!
00:14:17I have been worried about Jack for a long time, so for the past six months I've been working
00:14:21with specialists at Apex to try to find a cure.
00:14:23Oh, right, because Apex is some kind of, like, magic shop now.
00:14:26What's next, Chris?
00:14:27You're gonna try to sell us unicorn tears in a jar?
00:14:29Laugh all you want, but 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 that you are useless, so you just
00:14:42make up fantasies.
00:14:44I mean, what is next, Chris?
00:14:46You're gonna sprinkle fairy notes on my father and tell us that he's healed?
00:14:49What, are you just gonna bring him over to the garage and hook him up to jumper cables?
00:14:52You're a fraud, and you always have been.
00:14:54If you lay a finger on him, you'll kill him faster than the disease itself.
00:14:59I've also been sending messages to someone who actually knows what they're doing.
00:15:03Dean Hargrove, chief of medicine over at Crestview Hospital.
00:15:07A real doctor with real credentials.
00:15:09And expensive.
00:15:11But he's worth it, because unlike your made-up magical cure, he's not gonna kill my father.
00:15:17That's what a real son-in-law does.
00:15:19He is generous, and he is serious about family.
00:15:24Unlike this twisted truth, fucker.
00:15:27You think your limp dick husband is gonna compete with that?
00:15:30Please.
00:15:31This isn't a competition.
00:15:32I just want Jack to get better.
00:15:34It's not a competition.
00:15:37Oh, you just want Jack to get better, do you?
00:15:41Well, why don't you try this?
00:15:43Oh!
00:15:44Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
00:15:45Yay, finally some real entertainment.
00:15:47Yeah, maybe that'll shut him up.
00:15:49What is the matter with you?
00:15:50He is just a deadbeat griptor.
00:15:53He needs to get out of this house.
00:15:54Yeah, and he's as welcome as a turd in the family punch bowl.
00:15:57Yeah, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner we can all move on.
00:16:03That must be Dr. Hargrove.
00:16:14Dr. Hargrove, chief of medicine at Crestview Medical.
00:16:18Only the best for my Jack and his family.
00:16:21Doctor, thank you so much for coming to our family.
00:16:24We know how precious your time is.
00:16:26When it comes to family health, nothing is more important.
00:16:28You hear that?
00:16:29Nothing's more important than family.
00:16:31A real doctor, unlike your, uh, snake oil, hmm?
00:16:36So why don't you just take your lies and get the hell out of this house?
00:16:43Listen, I think so, too.
00:16:45I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
00:16:53Jack's condition has advanced.
00:16:55Oh, my God.
00:16:56His lungs are weak.
00:16:58Circulation is very poor.
00:17:00He might only have a couple of weeks to maybe a few months.
00:17:03Oh, my God.
00:17:03Right now, I can only suggest palliative measures.
00:17:06Palliative?
00:17:07You mean there's...
00:17:08There's nothing medicine can do.
00:17:09I'm sorry.
00:17:11Just cherish the time that you still have with him.
00:17:13And you!
00:17:16Trying to use my father as a guinea pig for your Frankenstein cure!
00:17:19We're only gonna kill him faster!
00:17:23Dr. Hargrove, help!
00:17:28Please crash it.
00:17:29We don't have time.
00:17:30I can't breathe.
00:17:31Do something if you are such a genius!
00:17:39Just in time.
00:18:00What is this circus?
00:18:05And what the hell is that?
00:18:07I built Apex on breakthroughs the rest of the world thought were impossible.
00:18:10This vial right here is the first drug of its kind developed by a team of specialists for one man's
00:18:15condition.
00:18:17Jax.
00:18:17The old man needs a miracle, not some science fiction and a goddamn needle.
00:18:21Or this is his endgame.
00:18:24You kill him and then you inherit Sophia without all the trouble.
00:18:27You are not sticking that needle anywhere near my husband over my dead body.
00:18:35You have two, maybe three minutes left unless you let me help you right now.
00:18:43Jack.
00:18:45Help me.
00:18:46If this kills him, I will kill you.
00:18:49Are you sure about this?
00:18:51I wouldn't risk it if I wasn't.
00:18:54Trust me.
00:18:54Do it.
00:18:55Doc.
00:19:06Okay, Jack.
00:19:07I will die.
00:19:19Yes.
00:19:34Jess.
00:19:37I can breathe.
00:19:41His pulse is stronger.
00:19:45Remarkably stronger.
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.
00:20:04It's okay.
00:20:06Oh, there it is.
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 great little guy.
00:20:16Max, let's go.
00:20:18Come on, buddy.
00:20:19That'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.
00:20:42Wow, Max.
00:20:43I think it for a spin.
00:20:45You see, Chris?
00:20:46This, this is what a real son-in-law does.
00:20:50He provides status, toys, and joy.
00:20:54Boy's got a left foot on the pedal.
00:20:55I'm sorry, Chris.
00:20:57If it weren't you, 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.
00:21:10Ooh, baby, look how fast he's going.
00:21:12That's my boy.
00:21:18Hey, Victoria.
00:21:20I need you to do me one more favor.
00:21:22This looks so cool.
00:21:23It's the past of me.
00:21:24Only the best for my boy.
00:21:25Oh, my boy.
00:21:29Wow.
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.
00:28:02I 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.
00:28:20You 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 ended with this fraud.
00:29:07Mom, you just lost his way for a moment.
00:29:10Oh, yeah.
00:29:10Why are you still shielding him?
00:29:13I don't mind if the two of you want to sink, but you will not drown the Donovan family with
00:29:18you.
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 him.
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.
00:30:45He'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.
00:31:41Oh, my God.
00:31:41I just saw a woman outside, and she looks an awful lot like Marina Baron.
00:31:46Baron, as in Baron Holdings, are you sure?
00:31:48Yeah.
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 predator come to collect on the mighty 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 deaths?
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, he isn't lying.
00:32:38He didn't steal a hundred billion dollars.
00:32:42Okay, 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 to own us?
00:32:55You need to grow up.
00:32:56The world runs on money and power, and your husband has neither.
00:33:00Okay, this is 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 with Chris
00:33:08completely.
00:33:09Completely.
00:33:10That means you.
00:33:11If she asks about the marriage, you say it's already been annuled.
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 Sparron.
00:33:29What an honor.
00:33:31I 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.
00:33:43Tom, it's a pleasure.
00:33:46Anything 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 about.
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.

00:45:46old house.
00:45:48But for me,

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,

00:47:02Please.
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, SofΓa.

01:03:39by joining forces with baron holdings
01:03:45hey wait up
01:03:46hey
01:03:47i was serious back there
01:03:49all right
01:03:50with apex group crashing and burning
01:03:52the future could be ours
01:03:53merge with langford capital
01:03:55we could bury our competition
01:03:58we'd be unstoppable
01:04:05you see my dear
01:04:06well
01:04:08derek is building an empire
01:04:10your husband is circling
01:04:12the drain
01:04:13you chose wrong darling
01:04:15looking forward to today's agenda
01:04:17the first thing we will do is be looking at last quarter's financial results
01:04:21uh this is going
01:04:36isn't that chris bell
01:04:39i heard he was homeless and bankrupt
01:04:42oh god he's about to humiliate himself again
01:04:45maybe they'll catch it on camera
01:04:48chris bell
01:04:49crashing my party
01:04:50bold move
01:04:51pointless
01:04:53but bold
01:04:55you don't belong in this room
01:04:57you said it yourself
01:04:58you're toxic
01:05:00correction
01:05:00i own this room
01:05:02and it's not the only thing that i own
01:05:06what are you babbling on about
01:05:08i own baron holdings too
01:05:12that's insane
01:05:13impossible
01:05:15not possible
01:05:16calculate it
01:05:18you see what derek was busy gloating about my supposed bankruptcy
01:05:22apex global quietly built a shadow position in baron holdings
01:05:26so by the time he poured the champagne and whispered sweet mergers in marina's ear
01:05:31i already owned her board
01:05:34so when langford merged with baron just this morning guess who's controlling vote dictated the choice
01:05:46derek
01:05:46that merger that merger that you bragged about it wasn't your crowning move it was my end game
01:05:54it wasn't your crowning move it was my end game baron swallowed langford whole and since i own baron
01:06:01that makes me majority shareholder in vote which means
01:06:05eric i'm not crashing your meeting
01:06:10i'm running it
01:06:11that can't be true
01:06:13we saw the bankruptcy filings
01:06:15he 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
01:06:21effective
01:06:22immediately
01:06:23immediately
01:06:24you can't do that
01:06:25i just did
01:06:27and marina
01:06:29that cushy seat next to him
01:06:31well that's gone too
01:06:32fortunately you aligned yourself with the wrong savior
01:06:34now you both report to me
01:06:37in fact let's make it official
01:06:39derek langford and marina baron
01:06:42you both are just needed
01:06:46i own the board
01:06:48i own the vote
01:06:50and now
01:06:54i own you
01:07:06i own you
01:07:16i'm sure you all are wondering why i let the world think i was finished
01:07:20why i let everyone write my obituary why i just sat by quietly
01:07:28because when the predators start to circle
01:07:30you don't raise a red flag
01:07:33play dead
01:07:35you let them think that they've already won
01:07:39but i need to first move
01:07:42because if i didn't
01:07:43they certainly would have
01:07:45they weren't just eyeing a marriage between langford and baron
01:07:49they were coming for apex too
01:07:52every seat
01:07:53every share
