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.
00:01:20This is a huge Yesis castle.
00:01:29Oh!
00:01:30Oh, my God, how well.
00:01:39Lord, 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!
00:02:28Your 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.
00:02:50Apex 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 gonna be sick!
00:03:08Gentlemen!
00:03:12Gentlemen!
00:03:12Whoa, whoa, whoa!

00:04:21I hate lying to her.
00:04:23But she can't know the truth.
00:04:25Not yet.
00:04:29Yes.
00:04:33Wedding is just such a nightmare.

00:04:38I'm gonna 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.

00:33:48i appreciate that
00:33:50thank you thank you thank you thank you sweetheart
00:33:52while i'm here i thought i'd clear up a few questions that the market has been whispering about
00:33:59questions
00:34:00okay
00:34:00apex group
00:34:02if chris bell truly is at the helm then the bankruptcy rumors don't add up
00:34:06i know this was his last address on file i know this was his last address on file is he
00:34:25here
00:34:26uh
00:34:27chris 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
00:34:35uh
00:34:36beth'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
00:34:42these idiots have no idea what they've done
00:34:47miss baron
00:34:48i 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
00:34:57we 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
00:35:04i would skin him alive
00:35:06i would break every bone in his body
00:35:09and then
00:35:10i 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
00:35:27no

00:35:38derek's security detail took him to langford capital

00:35:43but don't worry miss baron
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
00:35:59derek wanted to take him to a place where nobody could hear him scream

01:03:39by joining forces with baron holdings
01:03:45hey wait up
01:03:47hey
01:03:47i was serious back there
01:03:49all right
01:03:50with apex group crashing and burning
01:03:52the future could be ours
01:03:53merge with langford capitol
01:03:55we could bury our competition
01:03:58we'd be unstoppable
01:04:05you see my dear
01:04:07well derek is building an empire
01:04:11your husband is circling the drain
01:04:13you chose wrong darling
01:04:15looking forward to today's agenda
01:04:18the first thing we will do is be looking at
01:04:19last quarter's financial results
01:04:21uh this is going
01:04:36isn't that chris bell
01:04:39i heard he was homeless and bankrupt
01:04:42oh god he's about to humiliate himself again
01:04:45maybe they'll catch it on camera
01:04:48chris bell
01:04:49crashing my party
01:04:50bold move
01:04:51pointless
01:04:54but cold
01:04:55you don't belong in this room
01:04:57you said it yourself
01:04:58you're toxic
01:05:00correction
01:05:00correction
01:05:01i own this room
01:05:02i own this room
01:05:03and 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
01:05:16calculate it
01:05:18you see what derek was busy gloating about my supposed bankruptcy
01:05:22apex global quietly built a shadow position in baron holdings
01:05:26so by the time he poured the champagne and whispered sweet mergers in marina's ear
01:05:31i already owned her board
01:05:34so
01:05:35when langford merged with baron just this morning
01:05:39guess who's controlling vote dictated the truth
01:05:46derrick
01:05:46that merger that you bragged about
01:05:49it wasn't your crowning move
01:05:51it was my endgame
01:05:54it wasn't your crowning move
01:05:56it was my endgame
01:05:58baron swallowed langford whole
01:06:00and since i own baron
01:06:01that makes me majority shareholder in both
01:06:04which means
01:06:05derrick
01:06:06i'm not crashing your meeting
01:06:10i'm running it
01:06:12that can't be true
01:06:13we saw the bankruptcy filings
01:06:15he is bluffing
01:06:16he has to be bluffing
01:06:18he's pathological
01:06:19he's such a liar
01:06:20you're finished
01:06:21effective
01:06:23immediately
01:06:24you can't do that
01:06:25i just did
01:06:26and marina
01:06:29that cushy seat next to him
01:06:31well that's gone too
01:06:32fortunately you aligned yourself with the wrong savior
01:06:35now you both report to me
01:06:37in fact let's make it official
01:06:39derrick langford and marina baron
01:06:42you both are just needed
01:06:46i own the board
01:06:48i own the vote
01:06:50and now
01:06:54i own you
01:07:16i'm sure you all are wondering why i let the world think i was finished
01:07:20why i let everyone write my obituary
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
01:07:33play dead
01:07:35you let them think that they've already won
01:07:44they 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
01:07:54and when the dust settled
