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.
00:01:12...
00:01:19...
00:01:40Lord, 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, 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.
00:03:16By order of the court.
00:03:18No.
00:03:20You fraud.
00:03:24And property of the bank.
00:03:28No.
00:03:40Stop.
00:03:41That cake costs more than your salary.
00:04:12Is it 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 can get 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.
00:07:08Do you 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.
00:07:35I love you.
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.
00:08:05Sofía, you 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 Sofía, 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.
00:08:57Huh.
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.
00:09:33I don't even have the guts to defend himself.
00:09:35I don't know.
00:09:35I don't know.
00:09:36I don't know.
00:09:37I don't know.
00:09:45I don't know.
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 shithel.
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.
00:10:42And 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.
00:18:54Trust me.
00:18:54Do it.
00:18:55Doc?
00:19:06Okay, Jack.
00:19:07I will kill you.
00:19:35Jess!
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.
00:28:03I don't owe anything.
00:28:07He's lying.
00:28:09Is he?
00:28:10Or have you been deceiving me all long?
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, you come to the house of an innocent family and you're flaunted.
00:28:24That is disgusting. You're a sick man.
00:28:26There is one way out.
00:28:28Annulment. Immediately.
00:28:29As long as Sophia cuts off these ties, as long as the Donovan family draws clear lines, his debt dies
00:28:36with him.
00:28:37Sophia, I can still give you the future you deserve.
00:28:40With me.
00:28:47Yes! Divorce him!
00:28:49And then you can marry Derek.
00:28:51I mean, look at him. He 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. Annul the marriage and ended 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 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.
00:29:36Even 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? This cockroach of a man?
00:29:50For the sake of our past, I'm begging you. Have 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,
00:30:13we'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.
00:30:21Taken.
00:30:22I 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 you.
00:30:33You're going to play this game?
00:30:35Go on, Derek.
00:30:37Make your move.
00:30:39Detain him.
00:30:39Now.
00:30:41Oh, shit!
00:30:42Oh, my gosh!
00:30:44Oh!
00:30:44He saved the ball!
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 with him, you'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, Tom!
00:31:06Stop!
00:31:06Stop!
00:31:16After the bankruptcy leak, my board wants answers.
00:31:19You don't believe the rumors?
00:31:20Leaks can be planted.
00:31:22I don't lie for a second if the apex is broke.
00:31:24So this is a fact-finding mission.
00:31:25If 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!
00:31:41Oh, my God!
00:31:41Oh, my God!
00:31:42I just saw a woman outside, and she looks an awful lot like Marina Baron.
00:31:46Baron?
00:31:47As in Baron Holdings, are you sure?
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:49I Googled her, and the pictures on the Google looked like the pictures of the woman who
00:31:53was standing 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?
00:32:03That 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
00:32:23papers, and 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 gonna do.
00:33:02We're gonna let her in.
00:33:03We're gonna smile, we're gonna be gracious, and we're gonna make it abundantly clear
00:33:06that we have cut ties with Chris completely.
00:33:09Completely.
00:33:09That means you.
00:33:11If she asks about the marriage, you say it's already been annulled.
00:33:15Do you understand?
00:33:16My God.
00:33:16You are not gonna drag us down with-
00:33:20Smith?
00:33:21Game time.
00:33:22Game time.
00:33:22Ladder in.
00:33:24Okay, smiles.
00:33:27Oh, Miss Sparron, what 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.
00:33:44It'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
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?
00:34:26Uh, Chris, oh no, he is a loser who we kicked out and we cut ties with completely.
00:34:32You did what?
00:34:33And the marriage to our daughter.
00:34:36That's been annulled.
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.
00:34:50We 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.
00:35:28Bingo.
00:35:30Don't you worry, the world is better with him buried in a ditch.
00:35:33I'm sorry, where is he now?
00:35:38Derrick's security detail took him to Langford Capital.
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 if they just finished the job.
00:35:56You said that he was at Langford Capital?
00:35:57Yeah, in a storage room in the basement.
00:35:59Derrick 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?
00:36:14I bet that sounds good.
00:36:15What the hell's our problem?
00:36:16Yeah, and why all of a sudden does she care about Chris's sentence as 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.
00:36:31It's all so clear now.
00:36:33The drones.
00:36:35That theatrics.
00:36:36Chris was trying to impress her.
00:36:37Baron Holdings, they protect their own.
00:36:39She's probably funding him on the side.
00:36:41Probably a lot more than that.
00:36:42Mm-hmm.
00:36:43Hopefully.
00:36:44That's true.
00:36:45And they're still entangled.
00:36:46We need to sever ties immediately.
00:36:49Tomorrow morning.
00:36:50No delays.
00:36:50The papers.
00:36:51Enough.
00:36:52Whoa.
00:36:53I won't be part of your gossip mill.
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.
00:37:01Yup.
00:37:01That's enough.
00:37:02As long as you are still married to him, our family is on the chopping block for his reckless
00:37:08failings.
00:37:08You are either too naive or too stupid to say it.
00:37:26Annulment 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.
00:37:43Your wife's family is ready to be reasonable.
00:37:46Hmm.
00:37:48Then I guess I don't need to sign anything.
00:37:50Cute.
00:37:52Sign the goddamn papers.
00:37:55Derek.
00:37:56You keep taking my silence for surrender.
00:38:00This is your last chance, Bella.
00:38:02Hm?
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.
00:38:09Hm?
00:38:11So what's it gonna be?
00:38:13Time's ticking.
00:38:16Derek.
00:38:19You can go straight...
00:38:21To hell.
00:38:24Make him regret that choice.
00:38:34This is gonna 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.
00:38:51YAH!
00:38:54YAH!
00:38:55Oh, light him up like a Christmas tree!
00:39:05Is that all you got?
00:39:06Check.
00:39:20Sign up properly, I'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?
00:39:44He's a fraud!
00:39:46And a liar!
00:39:47He's a two-bit Bernie Madoff hack!
00:39:49Whatever rumors you've heard about the X-Group, the story isn't adding up.
00:39:54Who the fuck are you?
00:39:56Marina Barron.
00:39:59Baron Holdings.
00:40:01Oh, shit.
00:40:04She's about to destroy my whole plan.
00:40:09Listen, Marina, I really appreciate what you're trying to do here, but he's right.
00:40:17I'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.
00:40:44Me too. I don't think we will. I think we really scared him off last time.
00:40:47Oh, my God.
00:40:49Look what the cab's racked in.
00:40:51Chris.
00:40:56You thought you'd get rid of me, huh?
00:40:58Well, I'm not dead yet.
00:41:04Oh, stay right there.
00:41:08Unbelievable.
00:41:09He just crawls right back into our home like a stray.
00:41:12Somebody should call animal control.
00:41:14No need.
00:41:15We can evict him ourselves.
00:41:17Tonight.
00:41:19We're good.
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.
00:41:38Tom?
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, he'll just be so obsessed.
00:41:46Of course I may.
00:41:47Alright.
00:41:48I know where the door is, Tom.
00:41:52Are you coming with me?
00:41:57Don't you dare.
00:42:00Do you want to kill your father with the stress?
00:42:07Do you want that on your conscience?
00:42:16Chris, I'm sorry.
00:42:27You're gonna regret this.
00:42:30All of you.
00:42:32For every word.
00:42:33Every choice that you made today.
00:42:37Sure, whatever.
00:42:39Just put it in a greeting card.
00:42:40There's the door, champ.
00:42:44I'm not giving up on this.
00:42:52Good riddance.
00:42:54Hey.
00:42:55Yeah?
00:42:55Someone's gonna need to change the locks.
00:42:59Okay.
00:43:00Yes.
00:43:01You're welcome.
00:43:02I love you.
00:43:09Big.
00:43:10It's me.
00:43:12Do it.
00:43:13All of them.
00:43:15I want each one of them begging for mercy.
00:43:19I've got that green cheese.
00:43:21Oh.
00:43:21That's a cute one of them.
00:43:23Oh.
00:43:23Oh.
00:43:24Oh.
00:43:25Oh.
00:43:26Oh.
00:43:28Yeah.
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.
00:43:41You can't...
00:43:42structure 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.
00:43:54And they're rolling back my bonus reviewing irregularities.
00:43:59What...
00:44:00What just happened?
00:44:02It's Chris.
00:44:04The man is so toxic, he's taking us all down with him.
00:44:08Our brother-in-law's company is publicly outed as bankrupt.
00:44:12And riddled with fraud.
00:44:14And then both of our careers just 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, sever ties.
00:44:28Cut it.
00:44:29You don't know that Chris was the cause of this.
00:44:31Oh!
00:44:31Don't be naive.
00:44:33He makes enemies wherever he goes.
00:44:35And we are expected to foot the bill.
00:44:37We're not eating this.
00:44:39Not after everything.
00:44:40The city still owes on a demolition payout.
00:44:44Chris's childhood home is in the redevelopment zone.
00:44:47He is still owed a check for them tearing it down.
00:44:51So...
00:44:52We collect it as compensation for everything he's put us through.
00:44:55Oh!
00:44:55You can't just take it.
00:44:56Watch us.
00:44:57We will file a claim through the executive order.
00:45:00Or whatever place.
00:45:01Okay?
00:45:01By the time Chris figures out the money's gone, it's too late.
00:45:05It's ours.
00:45:05Yeah.
00:45:06We don't need to suffer for his incompetence.
00:45:09He will pay it out.
00:45:11Do it.
00:45:11Make him pay back every dollar he owes.
00:45:14This family.
00:45:15That house is the only memory he has left of his parents.
00:45:20Well, he should have thought about that before he tanked his business and poisoned our names.
00:45:24I'll get the paperwork going.
00:45:26The county records office opens in 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.
00:45:36Got it.
00:45:37And he fucks with the Donovitz!
00:45:45To anyone else, this is a run-down old house.
00:45:48But for me, it's home.
00:45:55Lostad, you're the last holdout.
00:45:56Just sign the property over and no one gets hurt.
00:45:58This house is the last thing left of my parents.
00:46:01You want it?
00:46:02We're gonna have to tear it down with me in it.
00:46:09I knew Chris would be here.
00:46:13Get him to agree.
00:46:14And that demolition payment is ours.
00:46:16It's his house.
00:46:17And our survival.
00:46:19Don't you see it?
00:46:21His mess has already cost us money, jobs, status.
00:46:25You'll get him to sign it over because you're a Darwin first.
00:46:41Sofia.
00:46:44Hi!
00:46:44Hi!
00:46:49Go on.
00:46:50Isn't there something you want to say to him?
00:46:55Chris, I...
00:46:57I know how important this...
00:46:59Oh!
00:46:59Just 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 until we have nothing left.
00:47:10Go on.
00:47:11Talk some sense into him.
00:47:12He is going to bury us with him, Sofia.
00:47:15And what about Dad?
00:47:17Huh?
00:47:17He's gonna kill him faster than the heart disease ever 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, I think.
00:47:46Hmm.
00:47:49Hmm.
00:47:51Ugly.
00:47:52Hideous.
00:47:53Horrible.
00:47:55Oh!
00:47:56Well, this has to be a knock-off.
00:47:59Chris's parents could never afford the 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 for someone who can't even afford lunch meat, huh?
00:48:13Those belong to my grandmother.
00:48:14Oh, well.
00:48:16Then she should have taken them to the grave with her.
00:48:19These deadbeats sure know how to keep up appearances.
00:48:22Oh, wow.
00:48:23This is fancy.
00:48:25Tom, off the wall, in the bag now.
00:48:27Yep.
00:48:27Now, let me ask you, Chris.
00:48:29Are your mom and dad kleptomaniacs?
00:48:33Oh.
00:48:34Look at this.
00:48:36Somebody was very busy in kindergarten art class.
00:48:39My mother made that, okay?
00:48:40That's the last thing I have of hers.
00:48:42Oh.
00:48:43Well, Mom certainly wasn't Michelangelo.
00:48:47Whoa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:48:53Oh!
00:48:53Oops!
00:48:54Oh!
00:48:55Oh!
00:48:58That...
00:48:58was...
00:48:59priceless.
00:49:01Mmm.
00:49:01Well, uh, not anymore.
00:49:04No.
00:49:05Oh, oh, oh.
00:49:06Chris!
00:49:07No.
00:49:08I'm sorry.
00:49:12I'm working.
00:49:13Well, you had a white background.
00:49:14It's demolition time!
00:49:15Oh, wonderful!
00:49:20Oh, I hope you took pictures, Chris.
00:49:23Is this dump right here or is about to be a pile of rubble?
00:49:25Let's go, boys!
00:49:38Alright, great. We got a big bulldozer.
00:49:40But this house does not move. Not one brick.
00:49:43Move aside, Mel. Unless you want to get flattened out like a fucking pancake.
00:49:48Then you're gonna have to take me out.
00:49:52If this house goes down, it's landing on top of me.
00:49:55How pathetic. He's gonna martyr himself over a shithole.
00:49:58Well, at least that saves us the paperwork.
00:50:24Who the fuck is he?
00:50:30Oh! If that bulldozer moves another inch,
00:50:32I will bury your little demolition racket in federal court.
00:50:36Kickbacks? Forged bids?
00:50:39Half of your payroll are ghosts.
00:50:41You don't think I see every wire transfer?
00:50:46This isn't over.
00:50:47Yes, it is. Walk.
00:50:52She has it. She has it.
00:50:54How sad.
00:50:56Yet another woman swooping in to rescue you.
00:51:02Come on, we're done here.
00:51:06I didn't want it to be like this.
00:51:08It doesn't have to be.
00:51:09If you just stay with me.
00:51:11Oh. What?
00:51:12So you can have another mistress?
00:51:15Look, I can explain all of this.
00:51:18Just...
00:51:18Not yet.
00:51:19Oh, Mystery Man has some secret timetable, hmm?
00:51:23Hmm, maybe he's under an NDA.
00:51:25Let me translate for you, my dear.
00:51:28A man who has to explain is a man who is alive.
00:51:33You can do better than that.
00:51:34Okay. You wanna know the truth?
00:51:40The truth is, Victoria is not my mistress.
00:51:43She works for me.
00:51:45She's Apex Group's fixer.
00:51:47And I'm the Queen of Monaco.
00:51:48She has no power.
00:51:50Your company is a laughing stock.
00:51:52It is a disgrace.
00:51:53Not only are you delusional, but you also think you're a bunch of fools.
00:51:57Do you see the sickness in this?
00:51:59He has created this whole fantasy where he's still rich,
00:52:03and his assistant is some kind of, uh, Tony Soprano.
00:52:07If that's true, why did you keep it for me?
00:52:11Why keep her a secret?
00:52:13Because she works in the shadows.
00:52:15And I, I, I couldn't...
00:52:18Oh, there it is.
00:52:20The sentence ends before the truth begins.
00:52:23So what?
00:52:24We're supposed to hang our livelihoods off of...
00:52:27Just, just trust me, babe?
00:52:28He wants you to think it's a business relationship.
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 you are too stupid to see.
00:52:40I can't breathe.
00:52:42Don't, just don't.
00:52:52I want to send you a moment.
00:52:56Well, compensation first.
00:52:58Let's do the calculations.
00:52:59Um, let's see.
00:53:00Reputational harm.
00:53:02Employees lost.
00:53:03And, um, distressed.
00:53:04I was distressed.
00:53:05Oh, I was also very distressed.
00:53:06I was very distressed.
00:53:06And you know what sounds good to me?
00:53:08Round numbers.
00:53:10You know, I think eight figures keeps it neat, but multiple aids keeps it fair.
00:53:14Yeah.
00:53:15You owe us for what you cost us.
00:53:19Fuck off.
00:53:20Well, not till we get what we want.
00:53:21I tell you what.
00:53:22Why don't you send us a cool 50 mil from one of those offshore accounts that we heard you have?
00:53:30You called the police.
00:53:32I did.
00:53:33I reported a few trespassers.
00:53:36We're not trespassing.
00:53:38This is my son-in-law's home.
00:53:40And we are reclaiming what is ours.
00:53:42Officer, I'd like to report an active burglary.
00:53:44No, no, no.
00:53:45You, you cannot arrest us.
00:53:47Sofia is still married to Chris, so his assets are community property.
00:53:51Sir, is this your residence?
00:53:55No.
00:53:56Belong to my parents.
00:53:57Well then, consider it payback for the affair you'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 one more time and trickle your problems.
00:54:07Trespassing.
00:54:08Burglary.
00:54:09Slander.
00:54:09Okay, well, she didn't mean to.
00:54:11Too late.
00:54:12I'll be like orange.
00:54:13It'll be the only color in your closet for the next three to five years.
00:54:17Go ahead and arrest us.
00:54:19Parade us on the evening news and drag your boss through public humiliation and just see how the world reacts
00:54:25to this so-called affair you'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...
00:54:33It's my mom.
00:54:34My...
00:54:35My sister.
00:54:37If you spare them, I'll let Chris go.
00:54:41If you want him, you can have him.
00:54:43I'm sorry.
00:54:44Just don't destroy my family.
00:54:45Sophia.
00:54:46I have never wanted him like that.
00:54:48I respect him.
00:54:49I'm his fixer, not his mistress.
00:54:51That's all.
00:54:52At least escort them off the premises.
00:54:54Huh?
00:54:55No.
00:54:55No need.
00:54:57A Donovan doesn't overstay their welcome.
00:55:00Hmm.
00:55:06Hey.
00:55:07Sophia.
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, but...
00:55:17I don't know.
00:55:18The car that you were talking about, I'll get it for you tomorrow.
00:55:21Chris, you can't afford it.
00:55:24Why do you keep trying to do this?
00:55:27It's not the reason why I married you.
00:55:33I promise you, I'm gonna 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, maybe 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 to 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 like tourists at the zoo.
00:56:28They gawk and stare, and then they leave.
00:56:33What color would you like?
00:56:37The pearl, I'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, if you're real nice, we'll let you sit in the back seat so you can smell the
00:56:54upholstery.
00:56:57We need two.
00:56:58White and black.
00:57:01With 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 for 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 has no clothes and no credit, apparently.
00:57:52Honey, there are plenty of great used lots in the Valley, and they have free coffee, too.
00:57:57Alright, just 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.
00:58:06Is this, uh, Black Diamond or the Party City Edition?
00:58:12Thanks.
00:58:15Where'd you get those?
00:58:16Out of a claw machine at Chuck E. Cheese?
00:58:18Counterfeits of crime is slick.
00:58:20Hey, call your manager.
00:58:22Now.
00:58:23And you two?
00:58:24You should be very scared.
00:58:26Not of me, but of your boss when he finds out who you've been insulting.
00:58:31We run this floor.
00:58:32Keep talking.
00:58:33Maybe we'll get you a complimentary keychain on the way out.
00:58:36Chris, are those real?
00:58:38They certainly are.
00:58:39What's the problem here?
00:58:41Mr. Stone, perfect timing.
00:58:44This broke customer is trying to buy a vehicle with a dead stack of plastic.
00:58:49And whose are those?
00:58:51Those would be mine.
00:58:53It looks like your terminal is refusing corporate authorization.
00:58:59Terminal 2.
00:59:00Enable Bank Direct.
00:59:04Wait a minute, this isn't just Black Diamond.
00:59:07This is...
00:59:08Supreme Tier.
00:59:09There.
00:59:10Only a few exist.
00:59:12Run it.
00:59:14Now!
00:59:20Pen, sir?
00:59:23Of course.
00:59:32My apologies, Mr. Bell.
00:59:35Mr. Bell.
00:59:37Welcome.
00:59:38I do apologize that you weren't recognized sooner.
00:59:41And on behalf of my salespeople, who are completely 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 that need to wash.
00:59:53You were just trying to protect the dealership.
00:59:56My insulting VIP.
00:59:58And his lovely wife.
01:00:00Mrs. Bell, I sincerely apologize.
01:00:04In this showroom, we take pride in excellence and discretion.
01:00:07We failed you both today.
01:00:11Mr. Stone, please.
01:00:12This man is not a VIP.
01:00:13He's a bankrupt lizard.
01:00:14I'm gonna take back what I said you're both.
01:00:16Fire.
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.
01:00:24This is crazy.
01:00:25So it is approved once.
01:00:27I mean, it's a glitch.
01:00:51Mr. Stone, we 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 to everything you read on the internet.
01:01:01Sophia, we were high school classmates.
01:01:04Please, say something.
01:01:05You were awful to me back then, too.
01:01:08You always will just be the same.
01:01:12You think standing next to him makes you a somebody?
01:01:15All it makes you is the plus one to a worthless nobody.
01:01:19When the money dries up, and it will, you'll be the one hoarding food stamps while he's hiding in a
01:01:24debt collector.
01:01:25I've heard enough.
01:01:27Security, let's hoard these two.
01:01:30You can play rich all you want, but we know exactly what you are.
01:01:34Nothing!
01:01:37Get him out of here.
01:01:44Chris, how can you afford all these cars?
01:01:50The rumors about my company's death may be premature.
01:01:55Look, I can't explain it.
01:01:57Not yet.
01:02:02I need you to trust me.
01:02:04Just a little while longer.
01:02:06Okay?
01:02:08I won't let you die.
01:02:16Hey Vic.
01:02:18Yeah.
01:02:20Oh, I'm ready.
01:02:22It's time to finish what we started.
01:02:26Langford Capital is hosting a shareholder meeting tomorrow at 3pm.
01:02:30I'm going to be making a surprise keynote.
01:02:32I don't know.
01:02:33What are you up to?
01:02:35Just bring the whole family.
01:02:38Make sure you sit in the front row.
01:02:47Security's in its place.
01:02:48The press is in the pen.
01:02:49The exit route is the service corridor in case anyone in the room gets feral.
01:02:52They won't.
01:02:53Prepare for the worst case scenario.
01:02:55And after?
01:02:57After you can breathe.
01:02:59Maybe apologize to the one person who deserves it.
01:03:10Even if she never forgives me, the truth is simple.
01:03:14I did this for us.
01:03:29Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
01:03:31Thank you for coming.
01:03:33Before we begin today, I'd like to make an announcement.
01:03:36Today, Langford Capital has protected its future by joining forces with Baron Holdings.
01:03:45Hey, wait up!
01:03:47Hey!
01:03:48I was serious back there, alright?
01:03:50With Apex Group crashing and burning, the future could be ours.
01:03:54Merge with Langford Capital.
01:03:56We could bury our competition.
01:03:59We'd be unstoppable.
01:04:05You see, my dear?
01:04:07Well, Derek is building an empire.
01:04:10Your husband is circling the drain.
01:04:14You chose wrong, darling.
01:04:16Looking forward to today's agenda.
01:04:18The first thing we will do is be looking at last quarter's financial results.
01:04:21Uh, this is going to-
01:04:37Isn't that... Chris Bell?
01:04:39I heard he was homeless and bankrupt.
01:04:42Oh, God.
01:04:43He's about to humiliate himself again.
01:04:46Maybe they'll catch it on camera.
01:04:48Chris Bell.
01:04:49Crashing my party.
01:04:51Bold move.
01:04:52Pointless.
01:04:54But bold.
01:04:55You don't belong in 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 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!
01:05:14Impossible!
01:05:15Not possible.
01:05:15Not possible.
01:05:17Calculating.
01:05:18You see, when Derek was busy gloating about my supposed bankruptcy, Apex Global quietly
01:05:24built a shadow position in Baron Holdings.
01:05:27So by the time he poured the champagne and whispered sweet mergers in Marina's ear,
01:05:32I already owned her board.
01:05:34So, when Langford merged with Baron just this morning, guess whose controlling vote dictated
01:05:42the terms.
01:05:45Derek, that merger that you bragged about, it wasn't your crowning move.
01:05:52It was my endgame.
01:05:54It wasn't your crowning move.
01:05:57It was my endgame.
01:05:58Baron swallowed Langford whole, and since I own Baron, that makes me majority shareholder
01:06:04in both, which means, Derek, I'm not crashing your meeting.
01:06:10I'm running it.
01:06:12That can't be true.
01:06:14We saw the bankruptcy filings.
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, that cushy seat next to him, well that's gone too.
01:06:32Fortunately, you aligned yourself with the wrong savior.
01:06:35Now, you both report to me.
01:06:37In fact, let's make it official.
01:06:39Derek Langford and Marina Baron, you both are just hated.
01:06:46I own the board.
01:06:48I own the vote.
01:06:50And now, I own you.
01:07:16I'm sure you all are wondering why 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, you don't raise a red flag.
01:07:33You play 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, they certainly would've.
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.
01:07:55And when the dust settled, they would've left us with absolutely nothing.
01:08:00While you're making confessions to your wife, you might as well tell her everything.
01:08:05Including our affair.
01:08:08You hear that so?
01:08:10Your knight in shining armor is actually just another cheating bastard.
01:08:14So what, huh?
01:08:15You're torching our family and then humiliating our sister?
01:08:18Hm?
01:08:18Look.
01:08:19I already told you.
01:08:21This guy's poison.
01:08:23Tell me it's not true.
01:08:26You already know the answer to that.
01:08:28Of course it's not.
01:08:31She's desperate.
01:08:32Don't torture yourself, sweetheart.
01:08:35Remember the documents you signed before the wedding?
01:08:38I am sure they are an Iron Clan prenup.
01:08:41Yeah.
01:08:42I bet every dollar that he shielded his stay with Apex Global.
01:08:45He'll be left with nothing either way.
01:08:48You know, it's funny that you bring 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, Sophia.
01:09:10I'm sure he tricked you into giving away everything.
01:09:13It's a transfer of controlling interest.
01:09:17You're a majority shareholder of Apex Global.
01:09:21Before the wedding.
01:09:22No.
01:09:24No.
01:09:25No, no, no.
01:09:26No.
01:09:26I don't believe that she's...
01:09:28Worth 80 billion dollars, which makes her the richest person in this world.
01:09:32Oh my God.
01:09:36So, Sophia.
01:09:38Sweetheart.
01:09:39We were wrong.
01:09:41We just...
01:09:41We didn't understand.
01:09:43Look at us.
01:09:43We're idiots.
01:09:44Oh yeah, you know that we were.
01:09:45Yeah.
01:09:45And everything that we did.
01:09:48I mean, stupid maybe, but it's a family.
01:09:51Sophia.
01:09:52Please.
01:09:53Now listen.
01:09:54We are on our knees.
01:09:55Please.
01:09:56You're only looking out for your best interest.
01:09:59Sweetheart.
01:10:00Sweetheart.
01:10:01After everything we did for you, you owe us.
01:10:06We are your flesh and blood.
01:10:10And...
01:10:11We need your help.
01:10:12We don't need much.
01:10:13Just, um...
01:10:16A billion or two.
01:10:19Just...
01:10:19After everything, I finally see the truth.
01:10:23Chris believed in me when no one else did.
01:10:31And I choose him.
01:10:33Soph.
01:10:35I'm sorry I had to hide this from you.
01:10:38But trust me when I say...
01:10:40I did this for us.
01:10:43It was truthfully.
01:10:45The only merger that ever really mattered.
01:10:48Was you and me, Soph.
01:10:50I love you.
01:10:55I love you.
01:10:56I love you.
01:10:58I love you.
