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.
00:01:26God...
00:01:34God...
00:01:39Lord, today we are blessed beyond measure, not only because it is the day of your wedding but because we
00:01:45are blessed with a son-in-law that is a CEO of Apex Group, a man of vision, a man
00:01:50of 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, stop 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!
00:02:49That's right.
00:02:49Apex Group is ruined.
00:02:52Sophia, 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!
00:03:15Help!
00:03:16No!
00:03:19Move!
00:03:20You fraud!
00:03:24And property of the bank.
00:03:28No!
00:03:30No!
00:03:31No!
00:03:40No!
00:03:42No!
00:03:44No!
00:03:45No!
00:03:46No!
00:03:48No!
00:03:50No!
00:03:52No!
00:03:54No!
00:03:55No!
00:03:56No!
00:03:58No!
00:04:00No!
00:04:12Is that really true?
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 need what a waste of an open bar.
00:04:36I think that one martini.
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.
00:05:42And 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.
00:06:22He'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.
00:07:06Like 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.
00:07:14Oh, you're so funny.
00:07:23Burns well.
00:07:24Look at that.
00:07:34Thank you, John.
00:07:35Thank you, John.
00:07:46Nice.
00:07:48That seat is for family.
00:07:51What?
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.
00:08:01Thanks.
00:08:05Sophia.
00:08:07You know, you could still get an annulment tonight.
00:08:12Oh, 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.
00:08:29Sophia, you deserve the world.
00:08:32But instead, you got a pathetic drifter.
00:08:43It's good.
00:08:44It's a cab.
00:08:45Hey, handsome.
00:08:47Bottoms up.
00:08:52Bottoms up.
00:09:00I 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.
00:09:42What 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, not you, princess.
00:10:19Bon appetit.
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.
00:10:37I married her.
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.
00:10:55No, 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.
00:11:00You'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 the country.
00:12:33Especially 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.
00:12:59And I have just the position for you.
00:13:01How 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.
00:13:14And he doesn't lie to you.
00:13:16Sophia, it'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.
00:13:33Well, it's a sign.
00:13:35It's a paper.
00:13:36And annul this marriage.
00:13:38Oh, please.
00:13:40Sign it.
00:13:41You will not drag the Donovan family down with you.
00:13:46Mom, stop.
00:13:47Sign the divorce papers.
00:13:49And annul this marriage now.
00:14:00Oh, Jack.
00:14:03Oh, my God.
00:14:04Jack.
00:14:11Oh, my God.
00:14:13You'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.
00:14:19So for the past six months, I've been working with specialists at Apex to try to find a cure.
00:14:23Oh, right.
00:14:24Because Apex is some kind of, like, magic shop now.
00:14:26What's next, Chris?
00:14:27You're going to 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 make up fantasies.
00:14:44I mean, what is next, Chris?
00:14:46You're going to sprinkle fairy notes on my father and tell us that he's healed?
00:14:49What, are you just going to 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.
00:15:12Because unlike your made-up magical cure, he's not going to kill my father.
00:15:17That's what a real son-in-law does.
00:15:19He is generous, and he is serious about families.
00:15:24Unlike this twisted truth, fucker.
00:15:27You think your limp dick husband is going to 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!
00:15:45Yay, 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 grifter.
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.
00:16:13Dr. 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.
00:16:33Unlike your, uh, snake oil.
00:16:35Hmm?
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.
00:16:59He 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 going to 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.
00:18:17Jack's.
00:18:17The old man needs a miracle, not some science fiction and a goddamn needle.
00:18:21Or, this is his end game.
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.
00:18:53Trust me.
00:18:54Do it.
00:18:55Doc.
00:19:06Okay, Jack.
00:19:08Okay, Jack.
00:19:34Jeff.
00:19:37I can breathe.
00:19:41His pulse is stronger.
00:19:45Remarkably stronger.
00:19:46It'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, 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 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 king job.
00:20:36You can only get one of these if you know somebody.
00:20:39Go get it, tiger.
00:20:41Wow, Max, thank you for a spin.
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.
00:21:00Won'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.
00:21:21This looks so cool.
00:21:23This is absolutely...
00:21:24Only the best for my boy.
00:21:29Wow.
00:21:30It's like David.
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.
00:21:55Okay.
00:21:56Okay.
00:21:56Max, come on.
00:21:57All right.
00:21:57Hey, let's go, Max.
00:21:59Let's go take this baby girl.
00:22:00Spin it.
00:22:02Yeah.
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.
00:22:19Oh, you do expect us to believe
00:22:21that he could afford
00:22:21to bring something like this
00:22:23to our house?
00:22:24It's pretty neat, huh?
00:22:25This is the coolest thing ever.
00:22:27That can happen?
00:22:28What?
00:22:28No, no, no.
00:22:29You know, Max,
00:22:30don't get too excited.
00:22:31Yeah.
00:22:31Okay, damn.
00:22:32They're knockoffs.
00:22:33Cheap imports made to look expensive.
00:22:35Yeah, it 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
00:22:42in some kind of pathetic attempt
00:22:43to convince us that he'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
00:22:53or are you just putting on
00:22:54some sort of BS act?
00:22:57Are you actually bankrupt
00:22:59or are you just putting on
00:22:59some sort of BS act?
00:23:01Damn it.
00:23:02I overplayed my hand.
00:23:04Showing off a fleet of DARPA prototypes
00:23:05was a bad move.
00:23:08I didn't buy them.
00:23:10I borrowed them from a friend.
00:23:11They're on loan from a defense contractor
00:23:13I 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 whatever they want.
00:23:23The more they underestimate me,
00:23:25the 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
00:23:37whatever scraps of money you can find
00:23:39and 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,
00:23:49instead of improving
00:23:51her station in life.
00:23:52You 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,
00:24:01we 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
00:24:11my grifter of a brother-in-law
00:24:13who is just trying to hustle us
00:24:15all out of money.
00:24:16Listen,
00:24:16none of you need to pay anything.
00:24:18So if you don't pay,
00:24:19then who does?
00:24:20How does a skid row reject
00:24:21like 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,
00:24:34yes, I do.
00:24:37Anyway,
00:24:38it's none of your concern.
00:24:39You know,
00:24:40all this,
00:24:40this idle chit-chat,
00:24:41I completely forgot.
00:24:43You two need to sign
00:24:44the annulment papers.
00:24:45I'd be happy
00:24:46to take you as my wife.
00:24:48Sophia,
00:24:49you deserve a partner
00:24:50who can put a diamond
00:24:51on your finger
00:24:51and not dirt under your nails.
00:24:53It's time
00:24:53to move on
00:24:55from this charlatan.
00:24:56Sophia,
00:24:57why don't we just put an end to this
00:24:59and we can forget
00:25:00it ever happened.
00:25:15No.
00:25:17Sophia,
00:25:19don't let pride
00:25:20get in the way
00:25:21of you making the right decision.
00:25:23Sophia,
00:25:23he is not the same man
00:25:25that you married.
00:25:26No 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,
00:25:33free marriage.
00:25:34You should trade up
00:25:35while 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,
00:25:40a 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
00:25:48and Sophia,
00:25:48don't be surprised
00:25:49if 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
00:25:57and empty threats.
00:25:59Don't make it worse.
00:26:01Sophia,
00:26:02are you listening
00:26:02to what they're saying?
00:26:03They're trying to force us
00:26:05to 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,
00:26:12you will take my daughter
00:26:14down to the courthouse
00:26:16and get an annulment
00:26:17and end this sham of a union.
00:26:19And I'll be right there
00:26:20to say,
00:26:21I do.
00:26:24He thinks he's already won.
00:26:26But in less than 72 hours,
00:26:28Lankford Capital
00:26:28will belong to me.
00:26:31Your company going under
00:26:33wasn't the only bombshell
00:26:34I discovered.
00:26:34A little birdie told me
00:26:35that $100 million
00:26:36went missing
00:26:37from Apex Group's
00:26:38cash reserves.
00:26:39So you're a liar
00:26:41and a thief!
00:26:42And after I spilled
00:26:44the beans
00:26:44of Chris's bankruptcy,
00:26:46I got another tip.
00:26:47Apparently,
00:26:47Apex Group's
00:26:48Fortune 500 cover boy
00:26:50supposedly rewired
00:26:51a massive loan
00:26:52from a Swiss bank
00:26:53to an offshore accountant.
00:26:55Oh, Chris!
00:26:57Have you no shame?
00:26:59That explains
00:26:59the miracle medicine
00:27:01and the military toys
00:27:02outside this house!
00:27:03It matches
00:27:03all of it.
00:27:05Case closed.
00:27:06I knew it!
00:27:07You're not only worthless,
00:27:08but you are a criminal!
00:27:10Did you hear that?
00:27:10If I deliver you,
00:27:12a deadbeat fraud,
00:27:13to the authorities,
00:27:14I get a major reward.
00:27:15And could you imagine
00:27:16the headlines?
00:27:17And I would earn good favor
00:27:19with the president.
00:27:19His whole campaign was run
00:27:21on bringing down
00:27:22corporate corruption.
00:27:23I'd probably get invited
00:27:23to the White House.
00:27:24Derek, you're the fraud.
00:27:26Not me.
00:27:29Lock the doors.
00:27:31We need to make sure
00:27:32he doesn't make a run for it.
00:27:38Lock the doors.
00:27:39We need to make sure
00:27:40he doesn't make a run for it.
00:27:41He's still my husband.
00:27:43He's family.
00:27:44Family?
00:27:45If Chris gets arrested,
00:27:46it drags us all down.
00:27:48You want a $100 million
00:27:49debt tied to our family name?
00:27:50Who do you think
00:27:51the government's
00:27:52going to come after
00:27:53when Chris can't pay you?
00:27:54Oh my God!
00:27:55You're right, honey!
00:27:56Don't fall.
00:27:59Sophia?
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
00:28:11deceiving me all along?
00:28:16Exactly.
00:28:17You know,
00:28:18from what I can tell,
00:28:19it's Chris telling the lies.
00:28:21You steal $100 million
00:28:22to come to the house
00:28:23of an innocent family
00:28:24and you're flaunted?
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
00:28:31cuts off these ties,
00:28:32as long as the Donovan family
00:28:33draws clear lines,
00:28:35his debt dies with him.
00:28:37Sophia,
00:28:38I can still give you
00:28:39the future you deserve.
00:28:40With me.
00:28:47Yes!
00:28:48Divorce him!
00:28:49And then you can
00:28:50marry Derek.
00:28:51I mean,
00:28:52look at him.
00:28:53He has real power
00:28:55and real money.
00:28:56And then this family
00:28:58can rise
00:28:59instead of crashing
00:28:59with Chris.
00:29:01Why are you just
00:29:02standing around?
00:29:03Go on.
00:29:04Annul the marriage
00:29:05and end it
00:29:06with this fraud.
00:29:07Mom,
00:29:08you just lost
00:29:09his way for a moment.
00:29:10Why are you still
00:29:12shielding him?
00:29:13I don't mind
00:29:13if the two of you
00:29:14want to sink,
00:29:15but you will not
00:29:16drown the Donovan
00:29:18family with you!
00:29:19He may be going
00:29:20through a rough patch,
00:29:21but he's been good to me.
00:29:24I'll leave with him.
00:29:28We won't be your burden.
00:29:31Sophia,
00:29:32I will always protect you.
00:29:34I'll always make you happy,
00:29:35even if it's the last
00:29:37thing I do.
00:29:42Eric,
00:29:43please,
00:29:44don't ruin it.
00:29:46You're still
00:29:46defending him?
00:29:47This cockroach of a man?
00:29:50For the sake of our past,
00:29:51I'm begging you,
00:29:52have mercy.
00:29:54Absolutely not.
00:29:55If he runs,
00:29:56the fallout
00:29:56comes back on us.
00:29:58Sophia,
00:29:59you are going to
00:29:59send me to an
00:30:00early grave!
00:30:02Here's what's
00:30:03going to happen.
00:30:04I'm going to
00:30:05my security detail
00:30:06is waiting just
00:30:07outside for me.
00:30:08They come in,
00:30:09they haul Chris's ass
00:30:10down to Langford Capital.
00:30:11While he's sitting
00:30:12in the basement storage room,
00:30:13we'll have Sophia
00:30:14sign the annulment papers.
00:30:17Brilliant.
00:30:18You can teach this
00:30:19pond scum a lesson.
00:30:20That's him.
00:30:21Taken.
00:30:22I dare you.
00:30:23Put one finger on me
00:30:25and you'll regret it
00:30:26for the rest of your life.
00:30:27Big talk coming
00:30:28from a broke con man.
00:30:29I'll have you dragged
00:30:30out of here in cuffs
00:30:31and the Donovan family
00:30:32will thank me.
00:30:34You're going to play
00:30:34this game?
00:30:35Go on, Derek.
00:30:37Make your move.
00:30:38Detain him now.
00:30:41Oh, shit!
00:30:43Oh, my gosh!
00:30:44Oh!
00:30:44He saved the most!
00:30:45He's off her!
00:30:48Oh!
00:30:49Oh, yes!
00:30:50Oh!
00:30:51Don't worry.
00:30:52Once they're through
00:30:52with him,
00:30:53he'll thank me
00:30:53for saving you.
00:30:56Sophia,
00:30:57remember,
00:30:58I 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 leak,
00:31:17my board wants answers.
00:31:19You don't believe
00:31:20the rumors?
00:31:20Leaks can be planted.
00:31:21I don't buy for a second
00:31:22that Apex is broke.
00:31:23So this is a fact-finding mission.
00:31:26If the headlines are true,
00:31:27then we cut and run.
00:31:28But if not,
00:31:29this family may be sitting
00:31:30on a gold mine
00:31:31and 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
00:31:43and she looks an awful lot
00:31:44like Marina Barron.
00:31:46Barron?
00:31:47As in Barron Holdings?
00:31:48Are you sure?
00:31:48Yeah.
00:31:49I Googled her
00:31:50and the pictures on the Google
00:31:51looked like the pictures
00:31:52of the woman
00:31:53who was standing outside?
00:31:53Don't you know what this means?
00:31:55She is the creditor
00:31:56come to collect
00:31:56on the mighty crystal!
00:31:57Oh, my God!
00:31:58We're so screwed
00:32:00and Sophia is still
00:32:00legally tied to Chris
00:32:01if she connects the dots?
00:32:03That bastard!
00:32:03He hasn't been dragging us down
00:32:04since 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
00:32:10on the street.
00:32:10If we don't let her in,
00:32:11we look guilty.
00:32:12Okay, but like,
00:32:13hear me out.
00:32:13Like, what if
00:32:14she's not here
00:32:15to collect on Chris's debts?
00:32:16Sweetheart, what?
00:32:17Don't be naive.
00:32:18Then, okay,
00:32:19here's what we do.
00:32:19We tell her
00:32:20that we kicked Chris out
00:32:21and then we forced Sophia
00:32:22to sign the annulment papers
00:32:23and we never touched
00:32:24a dime of his money.
00:32:26You should have gone
00:32:26to the courthouse
00:32:27hours ago.
00:32:28Hold on.
00:32:30Let me call my friend
00:32:31at the courthouse.
00:32:31Maybe he can backdate
00:32:32something 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
00:32:40a hundred billion dollars.
00:32:41Okay, Sophia,
00:32:42you look so demure right now,
00:32:44but my priority
00:32:45is 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
00:32:58and power
00:32:58and your husband
00:32:59has neither.
00:33:00Okay, that's what we're gonna do.
00:33:02We're gonna letter in.
00:33:03We're gonna smile.
00:33:04We're gonna be gracious
00:33:05and we're gonna make it
00:33:06abundantly clear
00:33:06that we have cut ties
00:33:08with Chris completely.
00:33:09Completely.
00:33:10That means you.
00:33:11If she asks about the marriage,
00:33:13you say it's already been annulled.
00:33:15Do you understand?
00:33:16You are not gonna 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 Sparrow.
00:33:29What an honor.
00:33:30I believe your son-in-law
00:33:32works with one of our affiliate banks.
00:33:34I thought since I'm in town,
00:33:35I'd put a face to the name
00:33:36that I have heard
00:33:37such good things about.
00:33:39Tom Hayden,
00:33:40Assistant VP,
00:33:41Commercial Lending.
00:33:41Mentioned on our vendor list last year.
00:33:44Tom.

00:33:46you get my full attention.
00:33:48I appreciate that.
00:33:50Thank you, sweetheart.
00:33:52While I'm here,
00:33:54I thought I'd clear up a few questions
00:33:56that 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,
00:34:04then 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?
00:34:26Uh, Chris,
00:34:28oh no,
00:34:28he is a loser
00:34:29who we kicked out and we cut ties with completely you did what and the marriage to our daughter
00:34:36that's been an old he is no longer part of the family actually he's a shit stain and if he's
00:34:41in trouble that's his problem these idiots have no idea what they've done miss baron i don't think
00:34:49you understand we despise him and if we could cut him up into like tiny little itty bitty bite-sized
00:34:57pieces we would excuse me cut him to what now small pieces and that's not all i would do if
00:35:04i could
00:35:04i would skin him alive i would break every bone in his body and then i would suck his blood
00:35:12dry
00:35:15he's scary he just never really knew his place he 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
00:35:30don't you worry the world is better with him buried in a ditch i'm sorry where is he now
00:35:38derrick's security detail took him to langford capital yes the guards have probably already
00:35:42beat him halfway to death but don't worry miss baron i 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 yeah in a storage basement derrick wanted to take
00:36:00him to a place where nobody could hear him scream ah right yeah oh congratulations you just made
00:36:09the biggest mistake of your lives what oh what that did sound good what the hell's our problem
00:36:16yeah and why all of a sudden does she care about chris since well-being
00:36:22she's sleeping with him oh yes yes yes excuse me i mean why else would a woman like that care
00:36:29about financial corpses oh it's all so clear now the drones that theatrics chris was trying to impress
00:36:37her baron holdings they protect their own she's probably funny on the side probably a lot more than
00:36:44that's true and they're still entangled we need to sever ties immediately tomorrow morning no delays
00:36:50the papers no nuts whoa i won't be part of your gossip milk well it's not gossip if it's obvious
00:36:57sophia it's obvious that you'll do anything to make chris look better yeah that's enough as long
00:37:02as you are still married to him our family is on the chopping block for his reckless failings
00:37:08you are either too naive or too stupid to say

01:04:19is be looking at
01:04:19last quarter's financial results
01:04:21this is going
01:04:36isn't that Chris Bell
01:04:39I heard he was homeless
01:04:41and bankrupt
01:04:42oh god
01:04:43he's about to humiliate himself
01:04:44again
01:04:45maybe they'll catch it
01:04:47on camera
01:04:48Chris Bell
01:04:49crashing my party
01:04:50bold move
01:04:51pointless
01:04:52pointless
01:04:54but cold
01:04:55you don't belong
01:04:56in this room
01:04:57you said it yourself
01:04:58you're toxic
01:05:00correction
01:05:00I own this room
01:05:02and it's not the only thing
01:05:05that I own
01:05:06what are you babbling on about
01:05:08I own
01:05:09Baron Holdings too
01:05:12that's insane
01:05:13impossible
01:05:15not possible
01:05:16calculate
01:05:17you see what Derek was busy
01:05:20gloating about my supposed
01:05:21and bankruptcy
01:05:22Apex Global
01:05:23quietly built a shadow position
01:05:25in Baron Holdings
01:05:26so by the time
01:05:28he poured the champagne
01:05:29and whispered sweet mergers
01:05:30in Marina's ear
01:05:31I already owned
01:05:33her board
01:05:34so
01:05:35when Langford merged
01:05:37with Baron just this morning
01:05:39guess who's controlling vote
01:05:41dictated the terms
01:05:45Derek
01:05:46that merger
01:05:48that you bragged about
01:05:49it wasn't your crowning move
01:05:52it was my end game
01:05:55it wasn't your crowning move
01:05:56it was my end game
01:05:58Baron swallowed Langford whole
01:06:00and since I own Baron
01:06:01that makes me majority shareholder
01:06:04in vote
01:06:04which means
01:06:05Derek
01:06:06I'm not crashing your meeting
01:06:10I'm running it
01:06:12that 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
01:06:24you can't do that
01:06:25I just did
01:06:26and Marina
01:06:29that cushy seat next to him
01:06:31well that's gone too
01:06:32fortunately you aligned yourself
01:06:33with the wrong savior
01:06:34now
01:06:35you both report to me
01:06:37in fact let's make it official
01:06:39Derek Langford and Marina Barron
01:06:42you both are just hated
01:06:46I own the board
01:06:48I own the vote
01:06:50and now
01:06:54I own you
01:07:16I'm sure you all are wondering
01:07:18why I let the world think I was finished
01:07:21why I let everyone write my obituary
01:07:24why I just sat by quietly
01:07:28because when the predators start to circle
01:07:30you don't raise a red flag
01:07:33you play dead
01:07:35you let them think
01:07:37that they've already won
01:07:39but I made the first move
01:07:42because if I didn't
01:07:43they certainly would've
01:07:45they weren't just eyeing a marriage
01:07:47between Langford and Barron
01:07:49they were coming for Apex too
01:07:52every seat
01:07:53every share
01:07:54and when the dust settled
