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.
00:01:12The fitnessokaydstone Naomi, there's the building
00:01:20to solve the problem with all the Peruvians.
00:01:21And what, such a big asking were marrowless gotta thank you,
00:01:26that there's no large scope of everything that he themed by.
00:01:37I've looked at it so much
00:01:40that there's no sound of everything to gain at the time
00:01:43not only because it is the day of your wedding
00:01:45but because we are blessed with a son-in-law

00:01:49a man of vision, a man of means
00:01:51a billionaire who will protect
00:01:53our daughter and build
00:01:55our family legacy
00:01:56finally the Donovan name will carry the weight
00:01:59that it deserves

00:26:26but in less than 72 hours
00:26:28langford 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 a hundred million dollars went missing from apex group's cash reserves
00:26:39oh
00:26:40so 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
00:26:56chris
00:26:57have you no shame
00:26:58that explains the miracle medicine and the military toys outside this house
00:27:02it matches all of it
00:27:04case closed
00:27:06i knew it
00:27:07you're not only worthless but you are a criminal
00:27:09did 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
00:27:19his whole campaign was run on bringing down corporate corruption
00:27:23i'd probably get invited to the white house
00:27:24derrick you're the fraud
00:27:25dummy
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
00:27:42he's family
00:27:44family?
00:27:45if chris gets arrested
00:27:46it drags us all down
00:27:47you want a hundred million dollar debt tied to our family name
00:27:50who do you think the government's gonna come after
00:27:53when chris can't pay up
00:27:54oh my god
00:27:55you're right honey
00:27:59sophia honey
00:28:01listen to me
00:28:02i don't owe anything
00:28:07he's lying
00:28:09Is he? Or have you been deceiving me all along?
00:28:16Exactly. You 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? That is
00:28:25disgusting. You're a sick man!
00:28:26There is one way out. Annulment. Immediately. As long as Sophia cuts off these ties, as long as the Donovan
00:28:33family draws clear lines, his debt dies with him.
00:28:37Sophia, I can still give you the future you deserve.
00:28:40With me.
00:28:47Yes! Divorce him! And then you can marry Derek! I mean, look at him! He has real power and real
00:28:56money!
00:28:56And then this family can rise instead of crashing with Chris!
00:29:01Why are you just standing around? Go on! Annul the marriage and ended with this fraud!
00:29:07Mom, he just lost his way for a moment.
00:29:10Why are you still shielding him? I don't mind if the two of you want to sink, but you will
00:29:16not drown the Donovan family with you!
00:29:19He may be going through a rough patch, but he's been good to me.
00:29:24I'll leave with him.
00:29:28We won't be your burden.
00:29:32Sophia, I will always protect you. I'll always make you happy. Even if it's the last thing I do.
00:29:42Eric, please. Don't ruin him.
00:29:46You're still defending him? This cockroach of a man?
00:29:49For the sake of our paths, I'm begging you. Have mercy.
00:29:54Absolutely not. If he runs, the fallout comes back on us.
00:29:58Sophia, you are gonna send me to an early grave!
00:30:02Here's what's gonna happen.
00:30:05My security detail is waiting just outside for me.
00:30:08They come in, they haul Chris's ass down to Langford Capital.
00:30:11While he's sitting in the basement storage room, we'll have Sophia sign the annulment papers.
00:30:17Brilliant. You can teach this pawn scum a lesson.
00:30:20That's him. Take it.
00:30:22I dare you.
00:30:24Put one finger on me and you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
00:30:27Big talk coming from a broke con man.
00:30:29I'll have you dragged out of here in cuffs and the Donovan family will thank me.
00:30:34You're gonna play this game?
00:30:35Go on, Derek.
00:30:37Make your move.
00:30:38Detain him, now.
00:30:41Oh, shit! Oh, my gosh!
00:30:44He saved him!
00:30:45He's over!
00:30:51Don't worry. Once they're through with him, he'll thank me for saving you.
00:30:56Sophia, remember, I did this for you.
00:31:00For us.
00:31:03Take him.
00:31:05Wait, Tom!
00:31:06Stop! Stop!
00:31:16After the bankruptcy leak, my board wants answers.
00:31:19You don't believe the rumors?
00:31:20Leaks can be planted.
00:31:21I don't lie for a second if the apex is broke.
00:31:24So this is a fact-finding mission.
00:31:26If the headlines are true, then we cut and run.
00:31:28But if not, this family may be sitting on a gold mine and not even realize it.
00:31:40Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
00:31:42I just saw a woman outside, and she looks an awful lot like Marina Barrett.
00:31:46Baron? As in Baron Holdings, are you sure?
00:31:48Yeah, I googled her, and the pictures on the Google looked like the pictures of the woman who was standing
00:31:53outside.
00:31:53Don't you know what this means? She is the creditor come to collect on the mighty crystal.
00:31:57Oh my god, we're so screwed and Sophia is still legally tied to Chris if she connects the dots?
00:32:03That bastard, he hasn't been dragging us down since day one. Are you happy now?
00:32:06What do we do? We can't let her in.
00:32:09She is the most powerful woman on the street. If we don't let her in, we look guilty.
00:32:12Okay, but like, hear me out. Like, what if she's not here to collect on Chris's death?
00:32:16Sweetheart, what?
00:32:17Don't be naive.
00:32:18Then, okay, here's what we do. We tell her that we kicked Chris out, and then we forced Sophia to
00:32:22sign the annulment papers, and we never touched a dime of his money.
00:32:26You should have gone to the courthouse hours ago.
00:32:28Hold on. Let me call my friend at the courthouse. Maybe he can backdate something for us.
00:32:33Yes. Daddy's got it.
00:32:35No, he isn't lying. He 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. It'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. The world runs on money and power, and your husband has neither.
00:33:00Okay, that's what we're going to do. We're going to let her in. We're going to smile, we're going to
00:33:04be gracious,
00:33:05and we're going to make it abundantly clear that we have cut ties with Chris completely.
00:33:09Completely.
00:33:10That means you.
00:33:11If she asks about the marriage, you say it's already been annulled. Do you understand?
00:33:16You are not going to drag us down with...
00:33:20Smith, game time.
00:33:21Game time.
00:33:22Ladder in.
00:33:24Okay, smiles.
00:33:27Oh, Miss Barrett, what an honor.
00:33:30I believe your son-in-law works with one of our affiliate banks. I thought, since I'm in town, I'd
00:33:35put a face to the name that I have heard such good things about.
00:33:39Tom Hayden, Assistant VP, Commercial Lending, mentioned on our vendor list last year.
00:33:44Tom, it's a pleasure.
00:33:46Anything you need, you get my full attention.
00:33:48I appreciate that.
00:33:50Thank you, sweetheart.
00:33:53While I'm here, I thought I'd clear up a few questions that the market has been whispering about.
00:33:59Questions?
00:34:00Okay.
00:34:01Apex Group.
00:34:02If Chris Bell truly is at the helm, then the bankruptcy rumors don't add up.
00:34:07I know this was his last address on file.
00:34:10Is he here?
00:34:11Oh, my God.
00:34:25Is he here?
00:34:27Chris, oh, no.
00:34:28He 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 an old.
00:34:37He is no longer part of the family.
00:34:39Actually, he's a shit stain.
00:34:40And if he's in trouble, that's his problem.
00:34:42These idiots have no idea what they've done.
00:34:46Miss Barron, I don't think you understand.
00:34:50We despise him.
00:34:52We despise him.
00:35:20He 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?
00:35:27Oh, no.
00:35:28Bingo.
00:35:30Don't you worry.
00:35:31The world is better with him buried in a ditch.
00:35:33I'm sorry.
00:35:34Where is he now?
00:35:37Oh.
00:35:38Derek's security detail took him to Langford Capital.
00:35:41Yes.
00:35:41The guards have probably already beat him halfway to death.
00:35:43But don't worry, Miss Barron.
00:35:44I mean, none of us here feel sorry for him.
00:35:46And I think I speak on behalf of everyone on this couch when I say we'd all be a lot
00:35:50happier
00:35:50if they just finished the job.
00:35:56You said that he was at Langford Capital?
00:35:58Yeah, in a storage room.
00:35:58A basement.
00:35:59Derek wanted to take him to a place where nobody could hear him scream.
00:36:03Right.
00:36:04Yeah.
00:36:04Oh.
00:36:06Congratulations.
00:36:07You just made the biggest mistake of your lives.
00:36:12What?
00:36:12Oh.
00:36:13What?
00:36:14That did sound good.
00:36:15What the hell's our problem?
00:36:16Yeah, and why all of a sudden does she care about Chris Scent's well-being?
00:36:20No.
00:36:22She's sleeping with him.
00:36:24Oh.
00:36:25Yes.
00:36:25Yes.
00:36:26Yes.
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.
00:36:34That 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, no 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.
00:37:04Our family is on the chopping block for his reckless failings.
00:37:08You are either too naive or too stupid to say.
00:37:26Annulment papers.
00:37:28Sign them and we're done.
00:37:29You 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.
00:37:47Then I guess I don't need to sign anything.
00:37:50Cute.
00:37:52Sign the goddamn papers.
00:37:55Ah, Derek.
00:37:56You keep taking my silence for surrender.
00:38:00This is your last chance, brother.
00:38:02Hmm?
00:38:03If you refuse, I'll buy Apex Group myself.
00:38:06And then I'll sell it for scraps like a junkyard car.
00:38:09Hmm?
00:38:11So what's it gonna be?
00:38:13Time's ticking.
00:38:16Derek.
00:38:19You can go straight.
00:38:21To hell.
00:38:25Make 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.
00:38:40What fun would that be?
00:38:48Oh, light him up like a Christmas tree.
00:38:51YAH!
00:39:04Is that all you got?
00:39:10Ah!
00:39:12Ah!
00:39:17Ah!
00:39:17Ah!
00:39:20Ah!
00:39:21Sign it properly.
00:39:22I'll make sure that every nerve in your body is fried, rendering you useless!
00:39:33Touch him again and I'll make sure this entire building is on lockdown before sunrise.
00:39:37What the hell is this?
00:39:39Kidnapping?
00:39:40Extortion?
00:39:41Attempted murder?
00:39:43Ah!
00:39:44Ah!
00:39:45He'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 Apex Group, the story isn't adding up.
00:39:53Who the fuck are you?
00:39:56Marina Baron.
00:39:59Baron Holdings.
00:40:01Oh shit.
00:40:03She's about to destroy my whole plan.
00:40:07Ah!
00:40:08Ah!
00:40:09Ah!
00:40:09Ah!
00:40:09Listen.
00:40:10Marina.
00:40:11I really appreciate what you're trying to do here, but...
00:40:15He's right.
00:40:16I'm a fraud.
00:40:20I have multiple contacts, credible sources inside.
00:40:25They're wrong.
00:40:26Trust me.
00:40:28That's how I'm sick.
00:40:30You don't want anything to do with me.
00:40:33I must have been wrong about him.
00:40:35We should sit down and talk.
00:40:37I like the way you operate.
00:40:42We never see that Chris guy again.
00:40:44Me too.
00:40:44I don't think we will.
00:40:45I think we really scared him off last time.
00:40:46Oh my god, look what the cab's racked in.
00:40:51Chris.
00:40:56You thought you'd get rid of me, huh?
00:41:00Well...
00:41:00I'm not dead yet.
00:41:04Ah!
00:41:05Stay right there.
00:41:08Unbelievable.
00:41:09He just crawls right back into our home like a stray.
00:41:12Somebody should call the animal control.
00:41:14No need.
00:41:15We can evict him ourselves.
00:41:17Tonight.
00:41:19For good.
00:41:23Sofia.
00:41:26Look at me.
00:41:29No looks!
00:41:31You are not a husband.
00:41:32You are not a son-in-law.
00:41:34And you are not part of this family anymore.
00:41:37Tom?
00:41:39Show him the door.
00:41:40Absolutely.
00:41:41Oh, but don't let him step on the lawn because the gardener just planted my favorite flowers and if he
00:41:45steps on them I'll just be so obsessed.
00:41:46Of course I may.
00:41:47All right.
00:41:48I know where the door is Tom.
00:41:52Are you coming with me?
00:41:57Don't you dare.
00:41:59You are not a son-in-law.
00:42:00Do you want to kill your father with a stress?
00:42:04Do you want to kill your father with the stress?
00:42:07Do you want that on your conscience?
00:42:15Chris, I'm sorry.
00:42:27You're gonna regret this.
00:42:30All of you.
00:42:31For every word, every choice that you made today.
00:42:37Sure, whatever. Just 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, yes.
00:43:01You're welcome. I 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.
00:43:17Okay.
00:43:20Oh.
00:43:21That's a cute one of them.
00:43:23Oh, oh.
00:43:25Hello?
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, you can't...
00:43:39Revoke? No, I...
00:43:40Wait, wait, wait.
00:43:41You can't just restructure me out.
00:43:43I signed the promotion paperwork.
00:43:45Hello?
00:43:46Hello?
00:43:50Oh, my God.
00:43:51I was just fired.
00:43:53Me too.
00:43:54And they're rolling back my bonus reviewing irregularities.
00:43:59What 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,
00:44:13and then both of our careers just go up in smoke?
00:44:16That is not 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.
00:44:28Cutter.
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.
00:44:37No!
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 put us through.
00:44:55Oh, you 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, okay?
00:45:01By the time Chris figures out the money's gone,
00:45:04it's too late.
00:45:05It's ours.
00:45:05Yeah.
00:45:06We don't need to suffer for his incompetence.
00:45:09He will pay it out.
00:45:11Do it.
00:45:11Make him pay back every dollar he owes this 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
00:45:22and 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.
00:45:37Anyone
00:45:38fucks 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?
00:46:03We're gonna have to tear it down with me in it.
00:46:09Oh, I knew Chris would be here.
00:46:12Get him to agree and 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 darling first.
00:46:41Sofía.
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 was...
00:46:59Oh! Just spit it out already!
00:47:02Please.
00:47:04Don't ask me to do this.
00:47:05Don't listen to him.
00:47:07He will just drag us down 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? Huh?
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.
00:47:36Excuse me?
00:47:37Excuse us.
00:47:38I need more stuff.
00:47:40Oh, I hate these stairs. They're the first to go, I think.
00:47:49Hmm.
00:47:51Ugly.
00:47:52Hideous.
00:47:53Horrible.
00:47:54Oh!
00:47:56Well this has to be a knock-off.
00:47:58Chris'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.
00:48:22Wow.
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.
00:48:29Were your mom and dad kleptomaniacs?
00:48:32Oh.
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.
00:48:44Mom certainly wasn't Michelangelo.
00:48:53Oops.
00:48:57That was priceless.
00:49:01Well, uh, not anymore.
00:49:05Oh, oh.
00:49:06Chris.
00:49:08I'm sorry.
00:49:12I'm working.
00:49:13Well, you had a light back.
00:49:14It's demolition time!
00:49:15Oh!
00:49:16Oh!
00:49:17Wonderful!
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!
00:49:26Let's go, boys.
00:49:29Woo!
00:49:38Alright, great.
00:49:39You got a big bulldozer.
00:49:40But this house does not move.
00:49:42Not one brick.
00:49:43Move aside, Mel.
00:49:44Unless 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.
00:49:55Pathetic.
00:49:56He's gonna martyr himself over a shithole.
00:49:58Well, at least that saves us the paperwork.
00:50:00Mm-hmm.
00:50:24Who the fuck is it?
00:50:30Oh!
00:50:31If that bulldozer moves another inch, I will bury your little demolition racket in federal court.
00:50:36Kickbacks?
00:50:37Forged 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.
00:50:49Walk.
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.
00:51:12What?
00:51:12So you can have another mistress?
00:51:15Look, I can explain all of this.
00:51:18Just...
00:51:18Not yet.
00:51:20Oh, 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.
00:51:35You 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.
00:51:49She 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...
00:52:06Tony Soprano!
00:52:07If that's true...
00:52:10Why did you keep it for me?
00:52:11Why keep her a secret?
00:52:13Cuz...
00:52:14She 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?
00:52:24That we're supposed to hang our livelihoods off of...
00:52:27Just...
00:52:27Just trust me, babe?
00:52:29He 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 him.
00:52:40I can't breathe!
00:52:42Don't!
00:52:43Just don't!
00:52:52I wanna sign the annulment.
00:52:56Well...
00:52:56Compensation first.
00:52:57Let's do the calculations.
00:52:59Um...
00:52:59Let's see...
00:53:00Reputational harm.
00:53:01Employees lost.
00:53:03And, um...
00:53:04Distressed.
00:53:04I was distressed.
00:53:04Oh, I was also very distressed.
00:53:06I was 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.
00:53:15Yeah.
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?
00:53:28Oh!
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 on active burglary.
00:53:44No, no, no.
00:53:45You cannot arrest us.
00:53:46Sophia is still married to Chris, so his assets are community property.
00:53:51Sir, is this your residence?
00:53:54No.
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.
00:54:08Trespassing, burglary, slander.
00:54:09Okay, well, she didn't mean to.
00:54:11Too late.
00:54:12I'll be like orange.
00:54:13That'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
00:54:23and just see how the world reacts to 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.
00:54:36I...
00:54:37If you spare them, I'll let Chris go.
00:54:41If you want him, you can have him.
00:54:43Sophie.
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.
00:54:50Not 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.
00:55:00Hm.
00:55:06Hey, Sophie.
00:55:08Come on.
00:55:09Listen.
00:55:11I can make it up to you, okay?
00:55:13I promise.
00:55:14I might have to start small, but...
00:55:17I don't know.
00:55:18In the 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?
00:55:28It's not the reason why I married you.
00:55:34I 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.
00:55:59Maybe don't touch.
00:56:01Lil, look at what the cat dragged in.
00:56:04Chris Bell.
00:56:05Professional failure.
00:56:06And the girl dumb enough to still believe in him.
00:56:08Hi, Lauren.
00:56:10What are you doing here?
00:56:11This car starts at 100K.
00:56:15This 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 it?
00:56:37The pearl.
00:56:38I've always liked white.
00:56:40Still playing billionaire.
00:56:42I saw the headlines.
00:56:44Apex, bankrupt, fraudulent, blah, blah.
00:56:47You went from visionary to visionary.
00:56:50Tell you what.
00:56:51If you're real nice, we'll let you sit in the back seat so you can smell the upholstery.
00:56:57We need two.
00:56:58White and black.
00:57:01But the fastest trim on both.
00:57:03Oh, baby.
00:57:04Look at that.
00:57:05Performance theater.
00:57:06Start the paperwork.
00:57:08Use crayons.
00:57:10Use my card.
00:57:11Chris.
00:57:12That's fine.
00:57:15This 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.
00:57:33The system works fine for people with money.
00:57:37Okay.
00:57:38Just run a manual authorization.
00:57:39It 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.
00:57:58Just 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.
00:58:21Call 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 insulted.
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.
00:58:43Perfect timing.
00:58:44This broke customer is trying to buy a vehicle with a dead stack of plastic.
00:58:50Then who's are those?
00:58:51Those would be mine.
00:58:52It looks like your terminal is refusing corporate authorization.
00:58:58Terminal 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.
00:59:10Only a few exist.
00:59:13Run it.
00:59:14Now!
00:59:21Pin.
00:59:22Sir.
00:59:23Of course.
00:59:32My apologies, Mr.
00:59:34Bell.
00:59:35Mr. Bell.
00:59:37Welcome.
00:59:38I do apologize that you weren't recognized sooner, and on behalf of my salespeople, who are
00:59:44complete 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.
00:59:56By insulting a VIP.
00:59:58And his lovely wife.
01:00:01Mrs. Bell, I sincerely apologize.
01:00:04In this showroom, we take pride in excellence and discretion.
01:00:08We failed you both today.
01:00:11Mr. Stone, please.
01:00:12This man is not a VIP.
01:00:13He's a bankrupt loser.
01:00:14I'm going to take back 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.
01:00:22Marriage is a liability.
01:00:24This is crazy.
01:00:25So it is approved once.
01:00:27I mean, it's a glitch.
01:00:50This is a glitch.
01:00:52Mr. Stone.
01:00:53We were only trying to do our job.
01:00:55He's a con man.
01:00:56Haven't you seen the headlines?
01:00:57Maybe you shouldn't listen to everything you read on the internet.
01:01:01Sophia.
01:01:02You 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 from the
01:01:25debt collector.
01:01:25I've heard enough.
01:01:27Security, let's afford 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.
01:02:33What are you up to?
01:02:35Just bring the whole family.
01:02:37Make sure you sit in the front row.
01:02:47Security's in its place. The press is in the pen. The exit route is the service corridor in case anyone
01:02:51in the room gets feral.
01:02:52They won't.
01:02:53Prepare for the worst case scenario.
01:02:55And after?
01:02:56After.
01:02:57After you can breathe.
01:02:59Maybe apologize to the one person who deserves it.
01:03:08You're dead.
01:03:10Even if she never forgives me, the truth is simple. I did this for us.
01:03:29Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for coming. Before we begin today, I'd like to make an announcement. Today,
01:03:37Langford Capital has protected its future by joining forces with Barron Holdings.
01:03:45Hey, wait up. Hey! I was serious back there, alright? With Apex Group crashing and burning, the future could be
01:03:52ours. Merge with Langford Capital. We could bury our competition. We'd be unstoppable.
01:04:05You see, my dear? Well, Derek is building an empire. Your husband is circling the drain. You chose wrong, darling.
01:04:16Looking forward to today's agenda. The first thing we will do is be looking at last quarter's financial results. This
01:04:23is going to...
01:04:37...isn't that...
01:04:38...Chris Bell?
01:04:39I heard he was homeless and bankrupt.
01:04:42Oh, God. He's about to humiliate himself again.
01:04:46Maybe they'll catch it on camera.
01:04:48Chris Bell. Crashing my party.
01:04:51Bold move. Pointless. But bold.
01:04:55You don't belong in this room. You said it yourself. You're toxic.
01:05:00Correction. I own this room. And 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. Impossible.
01:05:15Not possible. Calculating.
01:05:18You see, while Derek was busy gloating about my supposed bankruptcy,
01:05:22Apex Global quietly built 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,
01:05:39Guess who's controlling vote dictated the terms.
01:05:45Derek, that merger that you bragged about?
01:05:49It wasn't your crowning move. It was my endgame.
01:05:55It wasn't your crowning move. It was my endgame.
01:05:58Baron swallowed Langford whole. And since I own Baron,
01:06:01That makes me majority shareholder involved. Which means...
01:06:05Derek, I'm not crashing your meeting.
01:06:10I'm running it.
01:06:12That can't be true. We saw the bankruptcy filings.
01:06:16He is bluffing. He has to be bluffing.
01:06:18He's pathological. He's such a liar.
01:06:20You're finished. Effective. Immediately.
01:06:24You can't do that. I just did.
01:06:27And Marina...
01:06:29That cushy seat next to him...
01:06:31Well, that's gone too.
01:06:32Fortunately, you aligned yourself with the wrong savior.
01:06:35Now, you both report to me.
01:06:37In fact, let's make it official.
01:06:39Derek Langford and Marina Baron,
01:06:41You both are justinated.
01:06:46I own the board.
01:06:48I own the vote.
01:06:51And now...
01:06:52I own you.
01:06:57I own you.
01:07:09I own you.
01:07:10I own you.
01:07:13I own you.
01:07:14I own you.
01:07:16I'm sure you all are wondering why,
01:07:18I 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.
01:07:34You play dead.
01:07:35You let them think that they've already won.
01:07:39But I need first move.
01:07:42Because if I didn't, they certainly would've.
01:07:45They weren't just eyeing a marriage between Lankford and Baron.
01:07:49They were coming for Apex, too.
01:07:52Every seat, every 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,
01:08:02you might as well tell her everything.
01:08:05Including our affair.
01:08:08You hear that, Soph?
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?
01:08:18Look, I already told you.
01:08:21This guy's a 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 stake with Apex Global,
01:08:45so you'll be left with nothing either way.
01:08:48Yeah, 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.
01:09:17Crisinating a majority shareholder of Apex Global.
01:09:21Before the wedding.
01:09:22No!
01:09:23No!
01:09:25No!
01:09:25No, no, no, no!
01:09:26No!
01:09:27I believe that she's worth 80 billion dollars,
01:09:30which makes her the richest person in this world.
01:09:32Oh, my God.
01:09:35Uh, uh, uh, uh, Sophia, uh, sweetheart,
01:09:39um, we, we, we were wrong.
01:09:41Uh, we just, we, we didn't understand.
01:09:43Look at us, we're idiots.
01:09:44Oh, yeah, you know that we were, you know?
01:09:46Mm-hmm.
01:09:46And, and everything that we did.
01:09:48I mean, stupid, maybe, but it's a family.
01:09:51Sophia, please.
01:09:53Now, listen.
01:09:54We are on our knees.
01:09:55Please.
01:09:57You're only looking out for your best interest.
01:09:59Ah, sweetheart.
01:10:00Sweetheart.
01:10:01After everything we did for you,
01:10:04you owe us.
01:10:06We are your, your flesh and blood.
01:10:10Mm-hmm.
01:10:10And we need your help.
01:10:12We, we don't need much.
01:10:13Just, um,
01:10:16a, a billion or two, or just-
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.
01:10:51But.
01:10:53With that.
01:10:55I love you.
01:10:57I love you.
01:10:58I love you.
01:10:59Thank you, man.
01:10:59I love you, man.
