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.
00:01:12He knows everything.
00:01:28Oh my god!
00:01:31What is it?
00:01:39Lord, 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 fraud.
00:02:40Chris Bell, CEO of Apex Group?
00:02:44Right, try bankrupt loser.
00:02:48That'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.
00:03:18Help!
00:03:18No!
00:03:19Move!
00:03:20You fraud!
00:03:24And property of the baby.
00:03:28No!
00:03:40Stop!
00:03:41That cake costs more than your salary!
00:03:48No!
00:03:50No!
00:03:52No!
00:03:53No!
00:03:54No!
00:03:55No!
00:03:55No!
00:03:56No!
00:03:57No!
00:03:57No!
00:03:58No!
00:04:11Is it really true?
00:04:15Are you broke?
00:04:21I hate lying to her, but she can't know the truth.
00:04:25Not yet.
00:04:28Yes.
00:04:33Wedding is just such a nightmare.
00:04:34I need...
00:04:35What a waste of an open bar.
00:04:36I didn't get one martini!
00:04:38It's embarrassing.
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.
00:04:54I just got married.
00:04:54Just think about it.
00:04:56Just think about it.
00:04:56You and me.
00:04:56We 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.
00:06:08Like, that 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.
00:06:21He'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, like 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, Jordan.
00:07:35I'm going to have a moment.
00:07:46Nice. This looks really...
00:07:48That seat is for family.
00:07:51What? He 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.
00:08:05Sophia, 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. I bet he would be here in about ten minutes.
00:08:19Mom, please.
00:08:20What?
00:08:21Just put your phone in bed.
00:08:24Fine. But I don't see the point in waiting.
00:08:27Okay, everyone. To my beautiful Sophia, you deserve the world.
00:08:32But instead, you got a pathetic drifter.
00:08:43It's good. It's a cow.
00:08:45Hey, handsome. Bottoms up.
00:08:52Bottoms up.
00:09:00I guess I should have gone with the white.
00:09:03Hot fingers.
00:09:06Would you all give it a rest already?
00:09:08Whoa!
00:09:08Excuse me. You 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. It'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 me. Please.
00:09:42What do you think you're doing?
00:09:48Sofia 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 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 Sofia is some kind of gift to us?
00:10:49It's not a gift. It's a burden. It's a liability. It'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. Eat up.
00:11:08Woof, woof.
00:11:34That's a good boy.
00:11:38That's a good boy.
00:11:42You know, Sun Tzu says, patience is the key to victory. And I am a very patient man.
00:11:50Look at this guy. I mean, he doesn't even fight back. Not a word.
00:11:53It's because he knows it's true. He's nothing. Just a worthless halfwit.
00:11:57And to think, my daughter is married to a man who can't even afford to buy her flowers, let alone
00:12:02put a roof over her head.
00:12:03Well, what do we have here, huh? The happy bride and her poor little groom.
00:12:09Derek, what a surprise. Well, you certainly have a hop in your step.
00:12:13Indeed I do.
00:12:15Langford Capital just secured a quarter of a billion dollars in financing. Record profits.
00:12:20We're expanding faster than any other company on the market.
00:12:22Oh my god. A quarter billion? That's incredible.
00:12:25We're just getting started. By next spring, Langford Capital will be the biggest and the best private equity fund in
00:12:32the country.
00:12:33Especially with Apex Groups circling the drain. Isn't that right, Chris?
00:12:40Imagine if Sophia married Derek.
00:12:43I think about that. Every single day.
00:12:46Mom, you were thrilled when I married Chris this morning.
00:12:48Yes, I was. But secretly, I was hoping you'd end up with Derek.
00:12:54I'll tell you what. Family sticks together.
00:12:56Tom, we're hiring brilliant minds over at Langford 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. He protects. He provides.
00:13:13And he doesn't lie to you.
00:13:15Sophia, it's not too late.
00:13:19You can still fix it.
00:13:23Just annul the marriage.
00:13:25And walk away.
00:13:27I already told you.
00:13:29I don't wanna hear it!
00:13:32You...
00:13:33Well...
00:13:34Sign...
00:13:35This paper...
00:13:36And annul this marriage!
00:13:38Mom, 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!
00:14:02Jack!
00:14:02Oh my God!
00:14:04Jack!
00:14:06Oh my God!
00:14:07Jack!
00:14:08Somebody do something!
00:14:11Oh my God!
00:14:12You'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 gonna try to sell us unicorn tears in a jar?!
00:14:30Laugh 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 gonna sprinkle fairiness on my father and tell us that he's healed?!
00:14:49What, are you just gonna bring him over to the garage and hook him up with the 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 gonna kill my father!
00:15:17That's what a real son-in-law does.
00:15:19He is generous, and he is serious about family!
00:15:24Unlike this twisted truth, fucker!
00:15:27You think your limp dick husband is gonna compete with that?!
00:15:30Please!
00:15:31This isn't a competition. I just want Jack to get better.
00:15:34It's not a competition.
00:15:36Oh!
00:15:38You 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 Punchbowl!
00:15:57Yeah, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner we can all move on!
00:16:03That must be Dr. Hargrove!
00:16:14Dr. 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, unlike your, uh, snake oil, hm?
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, circulation 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!
00:17:19He's only gonna kill him faster!
00:17:23Dr. Hargrove, help him!
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.
00:17:42You need to be really hungry, calm with Nhotox.
00:17:56Two ν΄μ£Ό μζ³s and more derogues.
00:17:58More kΓΆnnen like the powers of The Universe!
00:18:00There's no loot that will ever ΨΉΩΩ them!
00:18:01What is this circus?
00:18:05Zero Under God!
00:18:06What the hell is that?
00:18:07I built Apex on breakthroughs to the rest of the world, thought where possible.
00:18:10This vial right here is the first drug of its kind, developed by a team of specialists
00:18:14for one man's condition.
00:18:17Jax.
00:18:17The old man needs a miracle, not some science fiction on a goddamn needle.
00:18:21Or this is his endgame.
00:18:24You kill him and then you inherit Sophia without all the trouble.
00:18:27You are not sticking that needle anywhere near my husband, over my dead body.
00:18:35You have two, maybe three minutes left unless you let me help you right now.
00:18:43Jack.
00:18:45Help me.
00:18:46If this kills him, I will kill you.
00:18:49Are you sure about this?
00:18:51I wouldn't risk it if I wasn't.
00:18:53Trust me.
00:18:54Do it.
00:18:55Doc?
00:18:56Look!
00:19:06Okay Jack.
00:19:08Sure.
00:19:12Yeah.
00:19:20Wait.
00:19:37Jeff, I can breathe.
00:19:41His pulse is stronger, remarkably stronger.
00:19:47It's just blind luck.
00:19:48It's some kind of fluke.
00:19:49Even a broken clock.
00:19:50He's right twice a day.
00:19:52I'll take that as a thank you.
00:19:55Jack, get some rest.
00:19:57I'll leave a monitor here overnight and check on you in the morning.
00:20:01Thank you, Dr. Hargrove.
00:20:03It's okay.
00:20:06Oh, 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, my favorite little guy.
00:20:16Max, let's go.
00:20:18Come on, buddy.
00:20:19That's enough.
00:20:20Doom 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 page job.
00:20:36You can only get one of these if you know somebody.
00:20:39Go get a tiger.
00:20:40Go get a tiger.
00:20:42Wow, Max, I'm looking for a spin.
00:20:45You see, Chris, this is what a real son-in-law does.
00:20:50He provides status, toys, and joy.
00:20:54Boy's got a left foot on the pedal.
00:20:55I'm sorry, Chris.
00:20:57I'm sorry, Chris.
00:20:57Everyone will come round.
00:20:58I'll make it up to yourself.
00:20:59I promise.
00:21:00I 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.
00:21:10Oh, 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.
00:21:48You know, that's something money can't buy.
00:21:55Okay.
00:21:56Max, come on.
00:21:56All right.
00:21:57Hey, let's go, Max.
00:21:58Yay!
00:21:59Let's go take this baby girl.
00:22:00Spin it!
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.
00:22:16Fully licensed.
00:22:17The only one of its kind in the country.
00:22:18You do 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 the coolest thing ever.
00:22:27That can happen?
00:22:28What?
00:22:28No.
00:22:28You 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!
00:22:38And yet, he parades it on my front lawn in some kind of pathetic attempt to convince us that he's
00:22:45some 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 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 gonna say it.
00:24:07I'm not giving you a cent.
00:24:09No, no, no.
00:24:10I'm not gonna be bankrolling my grifter of a brother-in-law who is just trying to hustle us all
00:24:15out 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 chitchat 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.
00:24:48Sofia, 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.
00:24:56Sofia, why don't we just put an end to this and we can forget it ever happened.
00:25:15No.
00:25:17Sofia, don't let pride get in the way of you making the right decision. Sofia, he is not the same
00:25:25man that you married. No one would blame you.
00:25:27It's modern times so.
00:25:29Nobody takes wedding vows seriously anymore. It'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. We can get it all done tonight. An annulment, marriage.
00:25:40Two for one.
00:25:42Enough! God!
00:25:44I am still right here. And if you keep insulting me and Sofia, don't be surprised if we walk out
00:25:50of here for good. Together.
00:25:53There it is. Anger.
00:25:55Typical impotent man's weapon. Violence and empty threats.
00:25:59Don't make it worse.
00:26:01Sofia, are you listening to what they're saying? They're trying to force us to annul our marriage.
00:26:06It's all dark. They're just in shock. I'm not in shock. Tomorrow morning, Chris, you will take my daughter down
00:26:15to the courthouse and get an annulment and 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. But 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 a hundred million dollars 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.
00:26:55Whoa!
00:26:56Chris! Have you no shame?
00:26:59That explains the miracle medicine and the military toys outside this house!
00:27:03It matches. All of it. Case closed.
00:27:06I knew it! You're not only worthless, but you are a criminal!
00:27:10Did you hear that? If I deliver you, a deadbeat fraud, to the authorities, I get a major reward.
00:27:15And could you imagine the headlines? And I would earn good favor with the president.
00:27:20His whole campaign was run on bringing down corporate corruption. I'd probably get invited to the White House.
00:27:24Derek, you're the fraud.
00:27:26Dummy.
00:27:29Lock the doors. We need to make sure he doesn't make a run for it.
00:27:38Lock the doors. We need to make sure he doesn't make a run for it.
00:27:41He's still my husband. He's family!
00:27:44Family?
00:27:45If Chris gets arrested, it drags us all down.
00:27:48You want a hundred million dollar debt tied to our family name?
00:27:50Who do you think the government's gonna come after when Chris can't pay you?
00:27:54Oh my god! You're right, honey!
00:27:59Sophia? Honey? Listen to me. I don't owe anything.
00:28:07He's lying.
00:28:09Is he?
00:28:10Or have you been deceiving me all along?
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 to 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.
00:28:30As 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, you just lost his way for a moment.
00:29:10Why are you still shielding him?
00:29:13I don't mind if the two of you wanna sink, but you will not 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.
00:29:34I'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.
00:29:55If 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, taken.
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 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!
00:30:43Oh my gosh!
00:30:43Oh my gosh!
00:30:44He saved them all!
00:30:45He's off of her!
00:30:48Oh!
00:30:49Oh yes!
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.
00:31:05Wait, stop!
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.
00:31:21I 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!
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.
00:31:43And she looks an awful lot like Marina Baron.
00:31:46Barron?
00:31:47As in Baron Holdings, are you sure?
00:31:48Yeah.
00:31:49I googled her and the pictures on the Google looked like the pictures of the woman who was
00:31:53standing outside.
00:31:53Don't you know what this means?
00:31:55She is the creditor.
00:31:56Come to collect the 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's been dragging us down since day one, are you happy now?
00:32:06What do we do?
00:32:06We can't let her in.
00:32:09she's the most powerful woman on the street if we don't let her in we look guilty okay but like
00:32:12hear me out like what if she's not here to collect on chris's death sweetheart what don't
00:32:17be naive then okay here's what we do we tell her that we kicked chris out and then we forced
00:32:22sofia to sign the annulment papers and we never touched a dime of his money we should have gone
00:32:26to the courthouse hours ago hold on let me call my friend at the courthouse maybe he can backdate
00:32:32something for us daddy's got it no he isn't lying he didn't steal a hundred billion dollars okay
00:32:42sophia you look so demure right now but my priority is protecting my family he is my family but then
00:32:49you need to decide it's either him or us i'm not signing anything today do you want bonus you need
00:32:56to grow up the world runs on money and power and your husband has knighted okay that's what we're
00:33:01gonna do we're gonna let her in we're gonna smile we're gonna be gracious and we're gonna make it
00:33:06abundantly clear that we have cut ties with chris completely completely that means you if she asks
00:33:12about the marriage you say it's already been annulled do you understand you are not gonna drag us down
00:33:18we're gonna let her in okay smiles oh miss sparran what an honor thank you i believe your son-in
00:33:32-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
00:33:36i'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 rumors
00:34:06don'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 did
00:34:33what and the marriage to our daughter uh that'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 him up into
00:34:55like
00:34:55tiny little itty bitty bite-sized pieces we would excuse me cut him to what now small pieces and that's
00:35:02not all i would do if i could i would skin him alive i would break every bone in his
00:35:08body and then
00:35:10i would suck his blood dry
00:35:15he's scary he just never really knew his place he clung to sophia and then he used all of us
00:35:23so you thought chris bell was not good enough to marry into this family
00:35:30don't you worry the world is better with him buried in a ditch i'm sorry where is he now
00:35:38derrick's security detail took him to langford capital yes the guards have probably already
00:35:42beat him halfway to death but don't worry miss baron i mean none of us here feel sorry for him
00:35:46and i think i speak on behalf of everyone on this couch when i say we'd all be a lot
00:35:50happier if they
00:35:51just finished the job you said that he was at langford capital yeah in a storage room in the
00:35:59basement derrick wanted to take him to a place where nobody could hear him scream ah right yeah oh
00:36:07congratulations you just made the biggest mistake of your lives what oh what that did sound good
00:36:15what the hell's our problem yeah and why all of a sudden does she care about chris and his well
00:36:19-being
00:36:22she's sleeping with him oh yes yes yes excuse me i mean why else would a woman like that care
00:36:29about financial corpses oh it's all so clear now the drones that theatrics chris was trying to impress
00:36:37her baron holdings they protect their own she's probably finding him on the side probably a lot more
00:36:42than that that's true and they're still entangled we need to sever ties immediately tomorrow morning
00:36:50no delays the papers no nuts whoa i won't be part of your gossip milk well it's not gossip if
00:36:56it's
00:36:56obvious sophia it's obvious that you'll do anything to make chris look better yeah that's enough as long
00:37:02as you are still married to him our family is on the chopping block for his reckless failings you are
00:37:09either too naive or too stupid to say

01:04:10your husband is circling the drain
01:04:13you chose wrong darling
01:04:15looking forward to today's agenda
01:04:17the first thing we will do is be looking at last quarter's financial results
01:04:21uh this is going
01:04:37isn't that chris bell
01:04:39i heard he was homeless and bankrupt

01:04:45maybe they'll catch it on camera
01:04:48chris bell crashing my party
01:04:50bold move
01:04:51pointless
01:04:54but bold
01:04:55you don't belong in this room
01:04:57you said it yourself
01:04:58you're toxic
01:05:00correction
01:05:01i 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
01:05:13impossible
01:05:15not possible
01:05:16calculate it
01:05:17you 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 when langford merged with baron just this morning
01:05:39guess who's controlling vote dictated the choice
01:05:45derrick
01:05:46that merger that you bragged about
01:05:49well it wasn't your crowning move
01:05:51it was my end game
01:05:54it wasn't your crowning move
01:05:56it was my end game
01:05:58baron swallowed langford whole
01:06:00and since i own baron
01:06:01that makes me majority shareholder in vote
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

01:09:32Oh, my God.
01:09:37Sophia, sweetheart, we were wrong.
01:09:41We just, we didn't understand.
01:09:43Look at us, we're idiots.
01:09:44Oh, yeah, you know that we were, you know, and everything that we did.
01:09:48I mean, stupid, maybe, but it's a family.
01:09:51Sophia, please, now listen.
01:09:54We are on our knees, please.
01:09:57We're only looking out for your best experience.
01:09:59Sweetheart, sweetheart.
01:10:01After everything we did for you, you owe us.
01:10:06We are your, your flesh and blood, and we need your help.
01:10:12We don't need much, just, um, a billion or two.
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.
01:10:35Soph, I'm sorry I had to hide this from you.
01:10:38But trust me when I say I did this for us.
01:10:43It was truthful, Aide.
01:10:45The only merger that ever really mattered was you and me, Soph.
01:10:50I love you.
01:10:52I love you.
