00:00:26Everything we need for the next 72 hours.
00:00:28Apex. 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. Give him what he wants.
00:00:55The company on its knees, and 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'll lose everything.
00:01:12He'll lose everything.
00:01:17I'm sorry.
00:01:19You're a family.
00:01:21She'll have not.
00:01:22I have no idea.
00:01:23I'm not such a bathroom.
00:01:27I'm not such a pianist.
00:01:29I'm not such a pianist.
00:01:40Lord, today we are blessed beyond measure.
00:01:43Not only because it is the day of your wedding,
00:01:45but because we are blessed with a son-in-law
00:01:47that is a CEO of Apex Group,
00:01:49a man of vision, a man of means.
00:01:51A billionaire who will protect our daughter
00:01:54and 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
00:02:15to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:02:19I do.
00:02:21Then by the power vested in me,
00:02:25stop this wedding!
00:02:29Your billionaire groom is nothing but a fraud.
00:02:40Chris Bell, CEO of Apex Group?
00:02:44Right.
00:02:45Try bankrupt loser.
00:02:49That's right.
00:02:49Apex Group is ruined.
00:02:53Sophia, you're about to marry a penniless con man.
00:02:58And I have the proof.
00:03:05It can't be true!
00:03:06What is going on here?
00:03:07I think I'm going to be sick!
00:03:08Gentlemen!
00:03:11Gentlemen!
00:03:12Whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:03:13Wait!
00:03:14Oh, my God!
00:03:15Help!
00:03:16By order of the court.
00:03:17No!
00:03:18No!
00:03:19Move!
00:03:20You fraud!
00:03:24And property of the bank.
00:03:28No!
00:03:29No!
00:03:30No!
00:03:39No!
00:03:41No!
00:03:44No!
00:03:44No!
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.
00:04:45You 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.
00:05:00Sofia!
00:05:13Well, it worked.
00:05:14Still feels like I'm putting a knife in her back.
00:05:17No one can know that Apex is broke, not even Sofia.
00:05:20And there's a bonus.
00:05:21If she stays with you on your penny list, 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's hidden.
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 Sofia'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.
00:06:15Not 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.
00:06:25Well, let's see what you brought us anyway.
00:06:27Just a couple tokens of my appreciation of Charlotte.
00:06:30I'm aware you like a nice glass of red before bed.
00:06:33So I got that from you.
00:06:35And Jack, this is a very rare book.
00:06:37I thought it would be good for your collection.
00:06:40Books?
00:06:41He brought us books?
00:06:42What are we supposed to do with a book, Chris?
00:06:44We're supposed to read our way out of debt?
00:06:46You could have brought Monopoly money.
00:06:48It's the same value.
00:06:51Not even French.
00:06:53California.
00:06:54This is bottom shelf swill.
00:06:59You know, I got that from a small vineyard.
00:07:01I thought you would appreciate the backstory.
00:07:04The backstory.
00:07:05We love stories.
00:07:06Like fairy tales.
00:07:08You mean like the fairy tale where you're a billionaire?
00:07:11Oh, I love that one.
00:07:12That's a good one.
00:07:14You're so funny.
00:07:23It burns well.
00:07:24Look at that.
00:07:34Thank you, Gemini.
00:07:35I love it.
00:07:46Nice.
00:07:47This looks really...
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.
00:07:54What?
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.
00:08:06Sophia, you know, you could still get an annulment tonight.
00:08:11Oh!
00:08:12My 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.
00:08:20Mom, please.
00:08:20What?
00:08:21Just put your phone in bed.
00:08:23Fine.
00:08:24But I don't see the point in waiting.
00:08:27Okay, everyone.
00:08:28To my beautiful Sophia, you deserve the world.
00:08:32But instead, you got a pathetic drifter.
00:08:42Hmm.
00:08:43Looks good.
00:08:44Is this...
00:08:44Cab?
00:08:45Hey, handsome.
00:08:47Bottoms up.
00:08:52Bottoms up.
00:08:59I guess I should've 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,
00:09:13he's eating our food,
00:09:15fucking our sister,
00:09:16and 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.
00:09:33Just eat.
00:09:35Please.
00:09:42What do you think you're doing?
00:09:48Sophia hasn't eaten much, so I thought I...
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 shitheel.
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.
00:10:24You 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.
00:11:01You're just a dog that we let in the back door.
00:11:05So go ahead, kid.
00:11:07Eat up.
00:11:08Woof, woof.

00:31:23so this is a fact-finding mission if the headlines are true then we cut and run but if not
00:31:29this family may be sitting on a gold mine and not even realize it
00:31:40oh my god oh my god oh my god i just saw a woman outside and she looks an awful
00:31:44lot like marina
00:31:45baron baron as in baron holdings are you sure yeah i googled her and the pictures on the google
00:31:51looked like the pictures of the woman who was standing outside don't you know what this is she
00:31:55is the predator come to collect on a minor crystal oh my god we're so screwed and sophia is still
00:32:00legally tied to chris if she connects the dots that bastard he has been dragging us down since day one
00:32:05are you happy now what do we do we can't let her in she is the most powerful woman on
00:32:10the street
00:32:10if we don't let her in we look guilty okay but like hear me out like what if she's not
00:32:15here to
00:32:15collect on chris's death sweetheart what don't be naive then okay here's what we do we tell her
00:32:20that we kicked chris out and then we forced sophia to sign the annulment papers and we never touched
00:32:24a dime of his money we should have gone to the courthouse hours ago hold on let me call my
00:32:30friend
00:32:31at the courthouse maybe he can backdate something for us daddy's got it no he isn't lying he didn't steal
00:32:40a hundred billion dollars okay sophia you look so demure right now but my priority is protecting
00:32:46my family he is my family well then you need to decide it's either him or us i'm not signing
00:32:52anything
00:32:53today do you want us you need to grow up the world runs on money and power and your husband
00:32:59has knighted okay that's what we're going to do we're going to let her in we're going to smile
00:33:04we're going to be gracious and we're going to make it abundantly clear that we have cut ties
00:33:08with chris completely completely that means if she asks about the marriage you say it's already
00:33:14been annulled do you understand you are not going to drag us down with him smith game time
00:33:21game time battery okay smiles oh miss sparran what an honor thank you i believe your son-in-law works
00:33:32with one of our affiliate banks i thought since i'm in town i'd put a face to the name that
00:33:37i've heard
00:33:37such good things about tom hayden assistant vp commercial lending mentioned on our vendor list
00:33:43last year tom it's a pleasure anything you need you get my full attention i appreciate that
00:33:50thank you sweetheart while i'm here i thought i'd clear up a few questions that the market has been
00:33:58whispering about questions okay apex group if chris bell truly is at the helm then the bankruptcy
00:34:05rumors don't add up i know this was his last address on file is he here
00:34:24is he here uh chris oh no he is a loser who we kicked out and we cut ties with
00:34:31completely you
00:34:33did what and the marriage to our daughter uh beth's been annulled he is no longer part of the family
00:34:39actually he's a shit stain and if he's in trouble that's his problem these idiots have no idea what
00:34:45they've done miss baron i don't think you understand we despise him and if we could cut
00:34:54him up into like tiny little itty bitty bite-sized pieces we would excuse me cut him to what now
00:35:01small
00:35:01pieces and that's not all i would do if i could i would skin him alive i would break every
00:35:08bone in his
00:35:08body and then i would suck his blood dry he's scary he just never really knew his place he clung
00:35:21to
00:35:21sophia and then he used all of us so you thought chris bell was not good enough to marry into
00:35:26this
00:35:26family no no bingo don't you worry the world is better with him buried in a ditch i'm sorry where
00:35:34is he now derek's security detail took him to langford capital yes the guards have probably already
00:35:42beat him halfway to death but don't worry miss baron i mean none of us here feel sorry for him
00:35:46and i think i speak on behalf of everyone on this couch when i say we'd all be a lot
00:35:50happier if they
00:35:51just finished the job you said that he was at langford capital yeah in a storage room in the basement
00:35:59derek wanted to take him to a place where nobody could hear him scream ah right yes oh congratulations
00:36:07you just made the biggest mistake of your lives what oh what that did sound good what the hell's
00:36:16our problem yeah and why all of a sudden does she care about chris sense well-being no she's sleeping
00:36:23with him oh yes yes yes excuse me i mean why else would a woman like that care about financial
00:36:30corpses
00:36:30oh it's all so clear now the drones that theatrics chris was trying to impress her baron holdings
00:36:38they protect their own she's probably fun being on the side probably a lot more than that
00:36:42all right hopefully that's true and they're still entangled we need to sever ties immediately
00:36:49tomorrow morning no delays the papers no death whoa i won't be part of your gossip milk well it's not
00:36:55gossip if it's obvious sophia it's obvious that you'll do anything to make chris look bad yeah that's
00:37:01enough as long as you are still very damn our family is on the chopping block for his reckless failings
00:37:08you are
00:37:09either too naive or too stupid to say

01:02:57breathe maybe apologize to the one person who deserves it
01:03:10even if she never forgives me the truth is simple i did this for us
01:03:28good afternoon ladies and gentlemen thank you for coming before we begin today i'd like to
01:03:34make an announcement today langford capital has protected its future by joining forces with baron
01:03:42holdings hey wait up hey i was serious back there all right with apex group crashing and burning the future
01:03:52could be ours 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
01:04:15darling looking forward to today's agenda the first thing we will do is be looking at last quarter's
01:04:20financial results uh this is going to
01:04:36isn't that chris bell i heard he was homeless and bankrupt oh god he's about to humiliate himself
01:04:45again maybe they'll catch it on camera chris bell crashing my party bold move pointless but cold you don't belong
01:04:56in this room you said it yourself you're toxic correction i own this room and it's not the only thing
01:05:05that i own what are you babbling on about i own baron holdings too that's insane impossible not possible
01:05:16calculate it see what derek was busy gloating about my supposed bankruptcy apex global quietly built a
01:05:25shadow position in baron holdings so by the time he poured the champagne and whispered sweet mergers in
01:05:31marina's ear i already owned her board so when langford merged with baron just this morning guess who's
01:05:40controlling vote dictated the choice
01:05:46derek that merger that you bragged about it wasn't your crowning move it was my end game
01:05:55it wasn't your crowning move it was my end game baron swallowed
01:05:59langford hole and since i own baron that makes me majority shareholder in both which means
01:06:06derek i'm not crashing your meeting
01:06:10i'm running it that can't be true we saw the bankruptcy filings he is bluffing
01:06:16he has to be buffing it's pathological he's such a liar you're finished effective
01:06:23immediately you can't do that i just did and marina that cushy seat next to him well that's gone too
01:06:32fortunately you aligned yourself with the wrong savior now you both report to me in fact let's make it
01:06:38official derek langford and marina baron you both are just needed
01:06:46i own board i own vote and now
01:06:54i own you
01:07:16i'm sure you all are wondering why
01:07:18why i let the world think i was finished why i let everyone write my obituary why i just sat
01:07:25by quietly
01:07:28because when the predators start to circle you don't raise a red flag
01:07:34play dead you let them think that they've already won
01:07:44they weren't just eyeing a marriage between langford and baron they were coming for apex too
01:07:52every seat every share and when the dust settled they would have left us with absolutely nothing
01:08:00while you're making confessions to your wife you might as well tell her everything including our fair
01:08:08you hear that so your knight in shining armor is actually just another cheating bastard
01:08:14so what huh you're you're torching our family and then humiliating our sister
