00:00:27Everything we need for the next 72 hours
00:00:32Liquid, untouchable
00:00:33Derek has already started moving against you
00:00:36Lining up investors, whispering about Apex's collapse
00:00:39He wants to destroy you, Chris
00:00:42Exactly how I planned
00:00:44You can't bait a shark without a little blood in the water
00:00:47I've already sent over the forged balance sheets
00:00:49The fake foreclosure notices
00:00:50Enough evidence to convince the world that Apex is circling the drain
00:00:54He'll think he scooped everyone
00:00:55Good, give him what he wants
00:00:58The company on its knees
00:00:59And while he gloats
00:01:02We prepare the kill shot
00:01:04The shareholder vote is in three days
00:01:06When we move, Apex swallows Langford Capital whole
00:01:10And when the dust settles, Derek won't just lose the company
00:01:15He'll lose everything
00:01:16Time
00:01:22Bye
00:01:22Would you hear me and I may support everyone
00:01:25I would like to introduce you
00:01:27If you are being among the children
00:01:28If you have a child
00:01:28I am your host
00:01:35He's doing well
00:01:42His name
00:01:43So bad
00:01:45Lord, today we are blessed beyond measure, not only because it is the day of your wedding,
00:01:50but because we are blessed with a son-in-law that is a CEO of Apex Group, a man of
00:01:55vision,
00:01:56a man of means, a billionaire who will protect our daughter and build our family legacy.
00:02:03Finally, the Donovan name will carry the weight that it deserves.
00:02:06To Sophia and to a future where we will want for nothing.
00:02:19Do you, Sophia Donovan, take Chris Bell to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:02:26I do.
00:02:28Then by the power vested in me, stop this wedding!
00:02:36Your billionaire groom is nothing but a fraud.
00:02:48Chris Bell, CEO of Apex Group?
00:02:52Right, try bankrupt loser.
00:02:57That's right.
00:02:58Apex Group is ruined.
00:03:01Sophia, you're about to marry a penniless con man.
00:03:07And I have the proof.
00:03:14It can't be true!
00:03:16What is going on here?
00:03:17I think I'm going to be sick!
00:03:18Gentlemen!
00:03:22Gentlemen!
00:03:22Whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:03:23Wait!
00:03:24Oh my God!
00:03:25Help!
00:03:26By order of the court...
00:03:28No!
00:03:29Move!
00:03:30You fraud!
00:03:32You fraud!
00:03:35And property of the bank.
00:03:38No!
00:03:52Hey, stop!
00:03:53That cake costs more than your salary!
00:03:58Oh!
00:04:02Oh!
00:04:04Oh!
00:04:05Oh!
00:04:06Oh!
00:04:07Oh!
00:04:07Oh!
00:04:07Oh!
00:04:24Is it really true?
00:04:29Are you broke?
00:04:35I hate lying to her, but she can't know the truth.
00:04:38Not yet.
00:04:42Yes.
00:04:47Wedding is just such a nightmare.
00:04:48I mean, what a waste of an open bar.
00:04:50I didn't get one martini!
00:04:52I'm just embarrassed.
00:04:52I'm going to have to pay for this whole fucking thing.
00:04:56I tried to warn you.
00:04:58Chris was never the man he said he was.
00:05:00You don't have to go home to that deadbeat bum.
00:05:02You deserve better.
00:05:04You deserve someone who can actually take care of you.
00:05:06Not now, Derek.
00:05:07I just got married.
00:05:09Just think about it.
00:05:11You and me.
00:05:11We always made more sense.
00:05:15Sophia!
00:05:29Well, it worked.
00:05:30Still feels like I'm putting a knife in her back.
00:05:33No one can know that Apex is broke.
00:05:35Not even Sophia.
00:05:37And there's a bonus.
00:05:38If she stays with you on your penny list, you'll know she truly loves you.
00:05:41She's not a test, Victoria.
00:05:43She's my wife.
00:05:44Full, hostile takeover.
00:05:46We just need to wait 72 hours until the shareholder meeting.
00:05:49And when it lands, Derek won't know what hit him.
00:05:55I can't tell her yet.
00:05:57Not until the takeover is complete.
00:05:59And our future is secure.
00:06:15You have some nerve walking in here.
00:06:19This is Sophia's home.
00:06:21She's my wife.
00:06:22Wife?
00:06:23You tricked her.
00:06:24You tricked all of us.
00:06:26You brought gifts.
00:06:27Like, that makes you a part of this family?
00:06:29Well, I thought since we'll be spending time together...
00:06:32This is rich.
00:06:33Correction, not rich.
00:06:35More like bankrupt.
00:06:36You think money is the most important thing, but it's not.
00:06:39Chris is a good person.
00:06:41He's honest, and he treats me with respect.
00:06:44All right, well, let's see what you brought us anyway.
00:06:46Just a couple tokens of my appreciation of Charlotte.
00:06:50I'm aware you like a nice glass of red before bed, so I got that from you.
00:06:55And Jack, this is a very rare book.
00:06:57I thought it would be good for your collection.
00:07:00Books?
00:07:01He brought us books?
00:07:03What are we supposed to do with a book, Chris?
00:07:04We're supposed to read our way out of debt?
00:07:07You could have brought Monopoly money.
00:07:09It's the same value.
00:07:12Not even French.
00:07:14California.
00:07:15This is bottom shelf swill.
00:07:20You know, I got that from a small vineyard.
00:07:22I thought you would appreciate the backstory.
00:07:25The backstory?
00:07:27We love stories.
00:07:28Like fairy tales.
00:07:30You mean like the fairy tale where you're a billionaire?
00:07:32Oh, I love that one.
00:07:34That's a good one.
00:07:35Oh, you're so funny.
00:07:45Burns well.
00:07:46Look at that.
00:07:57Thank you, gentlemen.
00:08:10Nice.
00:08:10That's looks real.
00:08:12That seat is for family.
00:08:15What?
00:08:15He can sit at the end if he's so desperate to eat.
00:08:19I hope you don't mind scraps, champ.
00:08:21That's usually all that's left over when it gets to the end of the table.
00:08:23Especially after you.
00:08:24Rah, rah, rah, rah.
00:08:29Sophia.
00:08:30Sophia.
00:08:31You know, you could still get an annulment tonight.
00:08:37Oh.
00:08:37My dear dad, that is a brilliant idea.
00:08:39You know, I still have Judge Wagner on speed dial.
00:08:42I'll just give him a call.
00:08:43I bet he would be here in about ten minutes.
00:08:45Mom, please.
00:08:46What?
00:08:46Just put your phone away.
00:08:49Fine.
00:08:50But I don't see the point in waiting.
00:08:52Okay, everyone.
00:08:53To my beautiful Sophia.
00:08:56You deserve the world.
00:08:58But instead, you got a pathetic drifter.
00:09:08It looks good.
00:09:10Is this a cab?
00:09:12Hey, handsome.
00:09:14Bottoms up.
00:09:18Bottoms up.
00:09:27I guess I should have gone with the white.
00:09:31Butterfingers.
00:09:33Would you all give it a rest already?
00:09:35Whoa.
00:09:36Excuse me.
00:09:37You brought him into our home.
00:09:39And the next thing you know, he's eating our food, fucking our sister, and asking for gas money.
00:09:47That is not a son-in-law.
00:09:48It's a parasite.
00:09:50Don't talk about my husband like that.
00:09:52He doesn't even have the guts to defend himself.
00:10:01Just eat.
00:10:04Please.
00:10:11What do you think you're doing?
00:10:18Sophia hasn't eaten much, so I thought I'd...
00:10:20Oh, the pauper is trying to play the provider now.
00:10:25Maybe your wife just lost her appetite because she married a stone bro shit heel.
00:10:31Don't strain yourself, Chris.
00:10:33You might pull a muscle trying to lift this chunk of protein.
00:10:36You know, Chris, the good food is for people that contribute, not you, princess.
00:10:56You sit under this room, eating our food, moving in, and freeloading.
00:11:01What is it exactly that you bring to the table?
00:11:05Well, for one, I married your daughter.
00:11:09I married her.
00:11:14And what, you think that makes you automatically a part of this family?
00:11:19You think that marrying Sophia is some kind of gift to us?
00:11:22It's not a gift.
00:11:23It's a burden.
00:11:24It's a liability.
00:11:26It's a state.
00:11:27Please, Mom.
00:11:28No, let him hear it.
00:11:29You want to be part of this family, then?
00:11:30You need to know your place, because you're nobody's son-in-law.
00:11:34You're just a dog that we let in the back door.
00:11:39So go ahead, kid.
00:11:40Eat up.
00:11:41Woof, woof.
00:11:44Woof.
00:11:45Woof.
00:12:09That's a good boy.
00:12:13That's a good boy.
00:12:18You know, Sun Tzu says, patience is the key to victory.
00:12:22And I am a very patient man.
00:12:25Look at this guy.
00:12:27I mean, he doesn't even fight back.
00:12:28Not a word.
00:12:29It's because he knows it's true.
00:12:30He's nothing.
00:12:31Just a worthless half-wit.
00:12:33And to think, my daughter is married to a man who can't even afford to buy her flowers, let
00:12:38alone put a roof over her head.
00:12:40Well, what do we have here, huh?
00:12:43The happy bride and her poor little groom.
00:12:46Derek, what a surprise.
00:12:47Well, you certainly have a hop in your step.
00:12:50Indeed I do.
00:12:52Langford Capital just secured a quarter of a billion dollars in financing.
00:12:56Record profits.
00:12:57We're expanding faster than any other company on the market.
00:13:00Oh, my God.
00:13:01A quarter billion?
00:13:02That's incredible.
00:13:03We're just getting started.
00:13:05By next spring, Langford Capital will be the biggest and the best private equity fund in
00:13:10the country, especially with Apex Groups circling the drain.
00:13:14Isn't that right, Chris?
00:13:18Imagine if Sophia married Derek.
00:13:22I think about that.
00:13:23Every single day.
00:13:25Mom, you were thrilled when I married Chris this morning.
00:13:27Yes, I was.
00:13:28But secretly, I was hoping you'd end up with Derek.
00:13:33I'll tell you what.
00:13:34Family sticks together.
00:13:35Tom, we're hiring brilliant minds over at Langford Capital.
00:13:38And I have just the position for you.
00:13:40How about head of the Strategic Wealth Fund?
00:13:46You hear that?
00:13:47That is what a son-in-law does.
00:13:50He builds.
00:13:51He protects.
00:13:52He provides.
00:13:54And he doesn't lie to you.
00:13:56Sophia, it's not too late.
00:14:00You can still fix it.
00:14:03Just unknow the marriage and walk away.
00:14:08I already told you.
00:14:10I don't want to hear it.
00:14:12I don't want to hear it.
00:14:13I don't want to hear it.
00:14:14I'll sign this paper and annul this marriage.
00:14:20Oh, please sign it.
00:14:22You will not drag the Donovan family down with you.
00:14:27Mom, stop.
00:14:28Sign the divorce papers and annul this marriage now.
00:14:44Oh, my God.
00:14:52Oh, my God.
00:14:56You're texting while my father is having a heart attack?
00:14:59He's probably texting his side piece already.
00:15:00I have been worried about Jack for a long time.
00:15:03So for the past six months, I've been working with specialists at Apex to try to find a cure.
00:15:07Oh, right.
00:15:07Because Apex is some kind of, like, magic shop now.
00:15:10What's next, Chris?
00:15:11You're going to try to sell us unicorn tears in a jar?
00:15:13Laugh all you want, but this could be the only thing that can actually cure him.
00:15:16This isn't some medical breakthrough.
00:15:19This is all about your ego.
00:15:22Because you cannot stand the fact that we all know that you are useless, so you just make up fantasies.
00:15:28I mean, what is next, Chris?
00:15:30You're going to sprinkle fairy notes on my father and tell us that he's healed?
00:15:34What, are you just going to bring him over to the garage and hook him up to jumper cables?
00:15:37You're a fraud, and you always have been.
00:15:39If you lay a finger on him, you'll kill him faster than the disease itself.
00:15:44I've also been sending messages to someone who actually knows what they're doing.
00:15:48Dean Hargrove, chief of medicine over at Crestview Hospital.
00:15:52A real doctor with real credentials.
00:15:55And expensive.
00:15:57But he's worth it.
00:15:58Because unlike your made-up magical cure, he's not going to kill my father.
00:16:03That's what a real son-in-law does.
00:16:05He is generous, and he is serious about family.
00:16:10Unlike this twisted truth, fucker.
00:16:13You think your limp dick husband is going to compete with that?
00:16:17Please.
00:16:18This isn't a competition.
00:16:19I just want Jack to get better.
00:16:21It's not a competition.
00:16:23Oh.
00:16:25You just want Jack to get better, do you?
00:16:29Well, why don't you try this?
00:16:31Oh!
00:16:33Yay, finally some real entertainment.
00:16:35Yeah, maybe that'll shut him up.
00:16:37What is the matter with you?
00:16:38He is just a deadbeat gripper.
00:16:41He needs to get out of this house.
00:16:42Yeah, and he's as welcome as a turd in the family punch bowl.
00:16:45Yeah, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner we can all move on.
00:16:51Oh, that must be Dr. Hargrove.
00:17:02Dr. D. Hargrove, chief of medicine at Crestview Medical.
00:17:07Only the best for my Jack and his family.
00:17:11Doctor, thank you so much for coming to our family.
00:17:14We know how precious your time is.
00:17:15When it comes to family health, nothing is more important.
00:17:18Did you hear that?
00:17:19Nothing's more important than family.
00:17:21A real doctor.
00:17:23Unlike your snake oil, hmm?
00:17:26Come on.
00:17:26So why don't you just take your lies and get the hell out of this house?
00:17:34Listen, I think they're too...
00:17:35I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
00:17:44Jack's condition has advanced.
00:17:46Oh, my God.
00:17:48His lungs are weak.
00:17:49Circulation is very poor.
00:17:51He might only have a couple of weeks to maybe a few months.
00:17:54Oh, my God.
00:17:55Right now, I can only suggest palliative measures.
00:17:58Palliative?
00:17:58You mean there's...
00:17:59There's nothing medicine can do.
00:18:01I'm sorry.
00:18:02Just cherish the time that you still have with him.
00:18:05And you!
00:18:08Trying to use my father as a guinea pig for your Frankenstein cure
00:18:11was only going to kill him faster!
00:18:15Dr. Hargrove, help him!
00:18:21He's crashing.
00:18:22We don't have time.
00:18:23I can't breathe.
00:18:24Do something if you are such a genius!
00:18:32Just in time.
00:18:55What is this circus?
00:19:00And what the hell is that?
00:19:01I built Apex on breakthroughs the rest of the world thought were impossible.
00:19:05This vial right here is the first drug of its kind developed by a team of specialists
00:19:09for one man's condition.
00:19:12Jax.
00:19:12The old man needs a miracle, not some science fiction and a goddamn needle.
00:19:16Or this is his endgame.
00:19:19You kill him and then you inherit Sophia without all the trouble.
00:19:22You are not sticking that needle anywhere near my husband over my dead body.
00:19:31You have two, maybe three minutes left unless you let me help you right now.
00:19:39Jack.
00:19:41Help me.
00:19:42If this kills him, I will kill you.
00:19:46Are you sure about this?
00:19:48I wouldn't risk it if I wasn't.
00:19:51Trust me.
00:19:52Do it.
00:19:52Doc?
00:19:53Jack.
00:20:04Okay, Jack.
00:20:18Ah!
00:20:19Ah!
00:20:21Ah!
00:20:22Ah!
00:20:23Ah!
00:20:36I can breathe.
00:20:41His pulse is stronger.
00:20:45Remarkably stronger.
00:20:46It's just blind luck.
00:20:48It's some kind of fluke.
00:20:49Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
00:20:52I'll take that as a thank you.
00:20:55Jack, get some rest.
00:20:57I'll leave a monitor here overnight and check on you in the morning.
00:21:02Thank you, Dr. Hargrove.
00:21:04It's okay.
00:21:08Oh, Max!
00:21:09Babe, didn't you say that you had some special surprise in the car for a Max?
00:21:15Yes, yes, I did.
00:21:16My favorite little guy.
00:21:18Max, let's go.
00:21:19Come on, buddy.
00:21:20It's enough doom and gloom around here.
00:21:23It's time for this family to have some fun.
00:21:25And for you to finally see how a real man provides for his family.
00:21:35Limited edition, custom-made job.
00:21:38You can only get one of these if you know somebody.
00:21:41Go get it, tiger.
00:21:44Wow, Max!
00:21:46I think it's for a spin!
00:21:48You see, Chris?
00:21:50This is what a real son-in-law does.
00:21:53He provides status, toys, and joy.
00:21:57Boy's got a left foot on the pedal.
00:21:59I'm sorry, Chris.
00:22:00Everyone will come round.
00:22:01Don't make it up to yourself.
00:22:03I promise.
00:22:03It won't be like this for long.
00:22:05Face it, Chris.
00:22:06You could literally never get anything like this for your kid.
00:22:10Well, unless you found an abandoned one at the thrift store he shops at.
00:22:14Oh, baby, look how fast he's going.
00:22:16That's my boy.
00:22:22Hey, Victoria.
00:22:24I need you to do me one more favor.
00:22:26This looks so cool.
00:22:28It's half to me.
00:22:29Only the best for my boy.
00:22:35It's like daycare.
00:22:40Yeah?
00:22:41Arriving now, boss.
00:22:42Thanks, Vic.
00:22:44Quick announcement, everyone.
00:22:46I have a surprise for you all outside.
00:22:48Oh, yeah?
00:22:48What is it?
00:22:49A coupon for a half-off pizza?
00:22:51Maybe it's a pawn shop conca truck.
00:22:54No.
00:22:55That's something money can't buy.
00:23:01Okay.
00:23:02Max, come on.
00:23:03All right.
00:23:03Hey, let's go, Max.
00:23:05Let's go take this baby girl.
00:23:07Yeah.
00:23:11Look at him go.
00:23:12Let's go, Max.
00:23:13Oh, no.
00:23:15Oh, that has to be fake.
00:23:17No one would let a child play with something like that.
00:23:20What am I looking at?
00:23:21The fleet of top-of-the-line prototypes.
00:23:23Fully safe, fully licensed.
00:23:24The only one of its kind in the country.
00:23:26Do you expect us to believe that he could afford to bring something like this to our house?
00:23:32It's pretty neat, huh?
00:23:33This is the coolest thing ever.
00:23:34That can happen.
00:23:35What?
00:23:36No, no.
00:23:37You know, Max, don't get too excited.
00:23:39Yeah.
00:23:39They're knockoffs.
00:23:41Cheap imports made to look expensive.
00:23:43It happens all the time.
00:23:44They're probably defective, sweetie.
00:23:46Max.
00:23:46Max.
00:23:46And yet, he parades it on my front lawn in some kind of pathetic attempt to convince
00:23:52us that he's some powerful big shot.
00:23:55Chris, how did you afford this?
00:23:58Must have cost millions of dollars.
00:24:00Yeah, Chris.
00:24:01Are you actually bankrupt or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:24:06Are you actually bankrupt or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:24:11Damn it.
00:24:12I overplayed my hand.
00:24:13Showing off a fleet of DARPA prototypes was a bad move.
00:24:18I didn't buy them.
00:24:19I borrowed them from a friend.
00:24:21They're on loan from a defense contractor I did some consulting for.
00:24:27Chris, you don't have to keep doing this.
00:24:29Trying to prove yourself to my family.
00:24:31Let them think whatever they want.
00:24:34The more they underestimate me, the better.
00:24:40I didn't see it before.
00:24:42Now, it's clear as day.
00:24:44You're a real con man, aren't you, Chris?
00:24:47Just squirreling away whatever scraps of money you can find and then just linging it at gadgets.
00:24:53Mom.
00:24:53No, Sonia.
00:24:54Look at us.
00:24:55My husband is sick.
00:24:57This house is bleeding us dry.
00:25:00And you, instead of improving her station in life,
00:25:04you just throw cash at toys.
00:25:07You disgust me.
00:25:08He didn't buy them.
00:25:09Then he took out a bunch of IOUs.
00:25:11Listen to me.
00:25:12When that company comes to collect, we are all in a lot of trouble.
00:25:19You know, I'm just going to say it.
00:25:20I'm not giving you the cent.
00:25:22No, no, no.
00:25:23I'm not going to be bankrolling my grifter of a brother-in-law
00:25:26who is just trying to hustle us all out of money.
00:25:29Listen.
00:25:29None of you need to pay anything.
00:25:31So if you don't pay, then who does?
00:25:33How does a skid row reject like you afford something like that?
00:25:36I don't have to pay either.
00:25:37So what?
00:25:39You just call in a favor at the Pentagon?
00:25:42Oh, you have DARPA on speed dial?
00:25:45Oh, wow.
00:25:47As a matter of fact, yes, I do.
00:25:51Anyway, it's none of your concern.
00:25:53You know, all this idle chit-chat, I completely forgot.
00:25:57You two need to sign the annulment papers.
00:26:00And I'd be happy to take you as my wife.
00:26:03Sophia, you deserve a partner who can put a diamond on your finger and not dirt under your nails.
00:26:08It's time to move on from this charlatan.
00:26:11Sophia, why don't we just put an end to this and we can forget it ever happened.
00:26:33Sophia, don't let pride get in the way of you making the right decision.
00:26:40Sophia, he is not the same man that you married.
00:26:43Sophia, no one would blame you.
00:26:44It's modern times, Soph.
00:26:46Nobody takes wedding vows seriously anymore.
00:26:48It's all free love, free marriage.
00:26:52You should trade up while you still can.
00:26:54We can go to the courthouse right now.
00:26:55We can get it all done tonight.
00:26:56An annulment, a marriage.
00:26:58Two for one.
00:26:59Enough!
00:27:00God!
00:27:02I am still right here.
00:27:04And if you keep insulting me and Sophia, don't be surprised if we walk out of here for good.
00:27:09Together.
00:27:11There it is.
00:27:12Anger.
00:27:13Typical impotent man's weapon.
00:27:15Violence and empty threats.
00:27:18Don't make it worse.
00:27:19Sophia, are you listening to what they're saying?
00:27:22They're trying to force us to annul our marriage.
00:27:25It's all dark.
00:27:26They're just in shock.
00:27:28I'm not in shock.
00:27:30Tomorrow morning, Chris, you will take my daughter down to the courthouse and get an annulment and end this sham
00:27:38of a union.
00:27:38And I'll be right there to say, I do.
00:27:44He thinks he's already won.
00:27:45But in less than 72 hours, Lankford Capital will belong to me.
00:27:51Your company going under wasn't the only bombshell I discovered.
00:27:54A little birdie told me that $100 million went missing from Apex Group's cash reserves.
00:27:59So you're a liar and a thief!
00:28:03And after I spilled the beans of Chris's bankruptcy, I got another tip.
00:28:07Apparently Apex Group's Fortune 500 cover boy supposedly rewired a massive loan from a Swiss bank to an offshore account.
00:28:16Whoa, Chris, have you no shame?
00:28:20That explains the miracle medicine and the military toys outside this house.
00:28:24It matches all of it.
00:28:26Case closed.
00:28:28I knew it.
00:28:29You're not only worthless, but you are a criminal.
00:28:32Did you hear that?
00:28:32If I deliver you, a deadbeat fraud, to the authorities, I get a major reward.
00:28:37And could you imagine the headlines?
00:28:39And I would earn good favor with the president.
00:28:42His whole campaign was run on bringing down corporate corruption.
00:28:45I'd probably get invited to the White House.
00:28:47Derek, you're the fraud.
00:28:48Dummy.
00:28:52Lock the doors.
00:28:54We need to make sure he doesn't make a run for it.
00:29:01Lock the doors.
00:29:02We need to make sure he doesn't make a run for it.
00:29:05He's still my husband.
00:29:06He's family.
00:29:07Family?
00:29:08If Chris gets arrested, it drags us all down.
00:29:11You want a hundred million dollar debt tied to our family name?
00:29:14Who do you think the government's going to come after when Chris can't pay you?
00:29:18Oh my god.
00:29:19You're right, honey.
00:29:24Sophia, honey, listen to me.
00:29:27I don't owe anything.
00:29:32He's lying.
00:29:34Is he?
00:29:35Or have you been deceiving me all along?
00:29:41Exactly.
00:29:43You know, from what I can tell, it's Chris telling the lies.
00:29:46You steal a hundred million dollars, you come to the house of an innocent family,
00:29:49and you're flaunted.
00:29:50That is disgusting.
00:29:51You're a sick man.
00:29:52There is one way out.
00:29:53Annulment.
00:29:54Immediately.
00:29:55As long as Sophia cuts off these ties, as long as the Donovan family draws clear lines,
00:30:01his debt dies with him.
00:30:04Sophia, I can still give you the future you deserve.
00:30:07With me.
00:30:14Yes!
00:30:15Divorce him!
00:30:16And then you can marry Derek.
00:30:18I mean, look at him.
00:30:20He has real power and real money.
00:30:23And then this family can rise instead of crashing with Chris.
00:30:29Why are you just standing around?
00:30:31Go on.
00:30:31Annul the marriage and ended with this fraud!
00:30:35Mom, he just lost his way for a moment.
00:30:38Oh, no.
00:30:39Why are you still shielding him?
00:30:40I don't mind if the two of you want to sink.
00:30:43But you will not drown the Donovan family with you!
00:30:47He may be going through a rough patch, but he's been good to me.
00:30:53I'll leave with him.
00:30:56We won't be your burden.
00:31:01Sophia, I will always protect you.
00:31:03I'll always make you happy.
00:31:05Even if it's the last thing I do.
00:31:12Eric, please.
00:31:14Don't ruin it.
00:31:15You're still defending him?
00:31:17This cockroach of a man?
00:31:19For the sake of our past, I'm begging you.
00:31:22Have mercy.
00:31:24Absolutely not.
00:31:25If he runs, the fallout comes back on us.
00:31:28Sophia, you are going to send me to an early grave.
00:31:33Here's what's going to happen.
00:31:36My security detail is waiting just outside for me.
00:31:39They come in.
00:31:39They haul Chris's ass down to Langford Capital.
00:31:42And while he's sitting in the basement storage room,
00:31:44we'll have Sophia sign the annulment papers.
00:31:48Brilliant.
00:31:49You can teach this pawn scum a lesson.
00:31:51That's him.
00:31:52Taken.
00:31:53I dare you.
00:31:55Put one finger on me,
00:31:56and you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
00:31:58Big talk coming from a broken con man.
00:32:01I'll have you dragged out of here in cuffs,
00:32:03and the Donovan family will thank me.
00:32:06You're going to play this game?
00:32:07Go on, Derek.
00:32:09Make your move.
00:32:11Detain him now.
00:32:13Oh, shit.
00:32:15Oh, my God.
00:32:16Oh, my God.
00:32:16Oh, my God.
00:32:17Take it off of her.
00:32:21Oh, yes.
00:32:23Don't worry.
00:32:25Once they're through with him,
00:32:26you'll thank me for saving you.
00:32:30Sophia, remember,
00:32:31I did this for you.
00:32:33For us.
00:32:36Take him.
00:32:38Yeah.
00:32:39Wait.
00:32:50After the bankruptcy leak,
00:32:51my board wants answers.
00:32:53You don't believe the rumors?
00:32:55Leaks can be planted.
00:32:56I don't buy for a second that Apex is broke.
00:32:58So this is a fact-finding mission.
00:33:00If the headlines are true,
00:33:02then we cut and run.
00:33:03But if not,
00:33:04this family may be sitting on a gold mine
00:33:06and not even realize it.
00:33:15Oh, my God.
00:33:16Oh, my God.
00:33:16Oh, my God.
00:33:16Oh, my God.
00:33:17I just saw a woman outside
00:33:18and she looks an awful lot
00:33:20like Marina Barron.
00:33:22Barron?
00:33:22As in Barron Holdings?
00:33:24Are you sure?
00:33:24Yeah.
00:33:25I Googled her
00:33:26and the pictures on the Google
00:33:27looked like the pictures
00:33:28of the woman who was standing outside.
00:33:30Don't you know what this means?
00:33:31She is the predator
00:33:32come to collect the money
00:33:33that Chris stole.
00:33:34Oh, my God.
00:33:34We're so screwed
00:33:36and Sophia is still legally tied to Chris.
00:33:38if she connects the dots.
00:33:39The bastard.
00:33:40He's been dragging us down since day one.
00:33:41Are you happy now?
00:33:42What do we do?
00:33:43We can't let her in.
00:33:46She is the most powerful woman on the street.
00:33:47If we don't let her in,
00:33:48we look guilty.
00:33:49Okay, but like, hear me out.
00:33:50Like, what if she's not here
00:33:52to collect on Chris's debts?
00:33:53Sweetheart, what?
00:33:54Don't be naive.
00:33:56Then, okay, here's what we do.
00:33:57We tell her that we kicked Chris out
00:33:59and then we forced Sophia
00:34:00to sign the annulment papers
00:34:01and we never touched a dime of his money.
00:34:03We should have gone to the courthouse hours ago.
00:34:06Hold on.
00:34:07Let me call my friend at the courthouse.
00:34:09Maybe he can backdate something for us.
00:34:11Yes.
00:34:12Daddy's got it.
00:34:13No.
00:34:14He isn't lying.
00:34:17He didn't steal a hundred billion dollars.
00:34:20Okay, Sophia, you look so demure right now,
00:34:22but my priority is protecting my family.
00:34:25He is my family.
00:34:27Well, then you need to decide.
00:34:29It's either him or us.
00:34:30I'm not signing anything today.
00:34:33Do you want to own us?
00:34:34You need to grow up.
00:34:36The world runs on money and power
00:34:38and your husband has knighthood.
00:34:40Okay, this is what we're going to do.
00:34:41We're going to let her in.
00:34:42We're going to smile.
00:34:43We're going to be gracious
00:34:44and we're going to make it abundantly clear
00:34:46that we have cut ties with Chris completely.
00:34:49And that means you.
00:34:51If she asks about the marriage,
00:34:53you say it's already been annulled.
00:34:55Do you understand?
00:34:56Oh, my God.
00:34:56You are not going to drag us down with him.
00:35:00Smith, game time.
00:35:02Game time.
00:35:03Blatter it.
00:35:05Okay, smiles.
00:35:08Oh, Miss Sparron, what an honor.
00:35:11I believe your son-in-law works
00:35:13with one of our affiliate banks.
00:35:15I thought since I'm in town,
00:35:16I'd put a face to the name
00:35:17that I have heard such good things about.
00:35:20Tom Hayden, assistant VP, commercial lending.
00:35:23Mentioned on our vendor list last year.
00:35:25Tom, it's a pleasure.
00:35:27Anything you need, you get my full attention.
00:35:30I appreciate that.
00:35:32Thank you, sweetheart.
00:35:34While I'm here,
00:35:36I thought I'd clear up a few questions
00:35:39that the market has been whispering about.
00:35:41Questions.
00:35:43Okay.
00:35:43Apex Group.
00:35:44If Chris Bell truly is at the helm,
00:35:47then the bankruptcy rumors don't add up.
00:35:49I know this was his last address on file.
00:35:53Is he here?
00:36:08Is he here?
00:36:10Um, Chris, oh no, he is a loser
00:36:13who we kicked out and we cut ties with completely.
00:36:16You did what?
00:36:17And the marriage to our daughter.
00:36:20Beth's been annulled.
00:36:22He is no longer part of the family.
00:36:23Actually, he's a shit stain.
00:36:25And if he's in trouble,
00:36:26that's his problem.
00:36:28These idiots have no idea what they've done.
00:36:31Miss Barron,
00:36:33I don't think you understand.
00:36:36We despise him.
00:36:37And if we could cut him up
00:36:39into like tiny, little, itty-bitty,
00:36:42bite-sized pieces,
00:36:43we would.
00:36:44Excuse me, cut him to what now?
00:36:46Small pieces.
00:36:47And that's not all I would do.
00:36:49If I could,
00:36:50I would skin him alive.
00:36:52I would break every bone in his body.
00:36:55And then,
00:36:56I would suck his blood dry.
00:37:01It was scary.
00:37:03He just never really knew his place.
00:37:06He clung to Sophia
00:37:08and then he used all of us.
00:37:10So you thought Chris Bell
00:37:11was not good enough
00:37:12to marry into this family?
00:37:13No.
00:37:15Oh.
00:37:15Bingo.
00:37:17Don't you worry,
00:37:18the world is better with him
00:37:19buried in a ditch.
00:37:20I'm sorry,
00:37:21where is he now?
00:37:25Derek's security detail
00:37:27took him to Langford Capital.
00:37:29Yes.
00:37:29The guards have probably already
00:37:30beat him halfway to death.
00:37:31But don't worry, Miss Barron.
00:37:32I mean, none of us here
00:37:33feel sorry for him.
00:37:34And I think I speak on behalf
00:37:35of everyone on this couch
00:37:37when I say we'd all be a lot happier
00:37:38if they just finished the job.
00:37:44You said that he was
00:37:45at Langford Capital?
00:37:46Yeah, in the storage room
00:37:47in the basement.
00:37:48Derek wanted to take him
00:37:49to a place where nobody
00:37:49could hear him scream.
00:37:51Right.
00:37:52Yes.
00:37:53Oh.
00:37:55Congratulations.
00:37:56You just made
00:37:57the biggest mistake
00:37:59of your lives.
00:38:01What?
00:38:01Oh.
00:38:02What?
00:38:03I bet that sounds good.
00:38:04What the hell's our problem?
00:38:05Yeah, and why all of a sudden
00:38:06does she care about
00:38:07Chris's sense of well-being?
00:38:10No.
00:38:12She's sleeping with him.
00:38:13Oh, yes.
00:38:15Yes, yes.
00:38:16Excuse me?
00:38:17I mean, why else would a woman
00:38:18like that care about
00:38:19financial corpses?
00:38:20Oh, it's all so clear now.
00:38:23The drones.
00:38:24That theatrics.
00:38:26Chris was trying to impress her.
00:38:28Baron Holdings,
00:38:28they protect their own.
00:38:30She's probably funding him
00:38:30on the side.
00:38:31Probably a lot more than that.
00:38:33Huh?
00:38:34Hopefully.
00:38:35That's true.
00:38:35No, and they're still entangled.
00:38:37We need to sever ties
00:38:38immediately.
00:38:40Tomorrow morning,
00:38:41no delays.
00:38:41The papers.
00:38:42No, no.
00:38:42Whoa.
00:38:44I won't be part of your gossip mill.
00:38:46Well, it's not gossip
00:38:47if it's obvious, Sophia.
00:38:49It's obvious
00:38:50that you'll do anything
00:38:51to make Chris look bad.
00:38:52Yeah.
00:38:53That's enough.
00:38:53As long as you are still married to him,
00:38:56our family
00:38:57is on the chopping block
00:38:59for his reckless failings.
00:39:00You are either
00:39:01too naive
00:39:02or too stupid
00:39:04to say it.
00:39:19Annoyment papers.
00:39:21Sign them and we're done.
00:39:22You think this basement scares me?
00:39:25You have no idea
00:39:27what's coming.
00:39:35Good news, asshole.
00:39:37Your wife's family
00:39:38is ready to be reasonable.
00:39:41Then I guess
00:39:42I don't need to sign anything.
00:39:44Cute.
00:39:46Sign the goddamn papers.
00:39:49Derek.
00:39:50You keep taking my silence
00:39:52for surrender.
00:39:54This is your last chance, bro.
00:39:56Hmm?
00:39:57If you refuse,
00:39:59I'll buy Apex Group myself.
00:40:01And then I'll sell it
00:40:02for scraps
00:40:02like a junkyard car.
00:40:04Hmm?
00:40:06So what's it gonna be?
00:40:08Time's ticking.
00:40:11Derek.
00:40:14You can go straight
00:40:17to hell.
00:40:20I can't regret that choice.
00:40:30This is gonna make you sign
00:40:31one way or another.
00:40:34Last chance
00:40:34to take the easy way out.
00:40:37What fun would that be?
00:40:45Oh, light our mouth
00:40:46like a Christmas tree.
00:40:48Ah!
00:41:02Is that all you got?
00:41:18sign it properly.
00:41:20I'll make sure
00:41:21that every nerve
00:41:22in your body
00:41:23is fried,
00:41:24rendering you useless.
00:41:32touch him again
00:41:33and I'll make sure
00:41:34this entire building
00:41:35is on lockdown
00:41:35before sunrise.
00:41:37What the hell is this?
00:41:38Kidnapping?
00:41:39Extortion?
00:41:41Attempted murder?
00:41:43Ha!
00:41:44He's a fraud!
00:41:45And a liar!
00:41:47He's a two-bit
00:41:48Bernie Madoff hack!
00:41:49Whatever rumors you've heard
00:41:51about the X-Group,
00:41:52the story isn't adding up.
00:41:54Who the fuck are you?
00:41:57Marina Barron.
00:41:59Barron Holdings.
00:42:02Oh, shit.
00:42:04She's about to destroy
00:42:05my whole plan.
00:42:10Listen, Marina,
00:42:12I really appreciate
00:42:13what you're trying
00:42:14to do here,
00:42:15but he's right.
00:42:18I'm a fraud.
00:42:21I have multiple contacts,
00:42:24credible sources inside.
00:42:26They're wrong.
00:42:28Trust me.
00:42:30I'm toxic.
00:42:32You don't want anything
00:42:33to do with me.
00:42:34I must have been
00:42:35wrong about him.
00:42:37We should sit down
00:42:38and talk.
00:42:40I like the way
00:42:40you operate.
00:42:45We never see
00:42:45that Chris guy again.
00:42:46I don't think we will.
00:42:47I think we really
00:42:48scared him off last time.
00:42:50Oh, my God.
00:42:52Look at the cab's rag, dude.
00:42:54Chris.
00:42:59You thought you'd
00:43:00get rid of me, huh?
00:43:02Well,
00:43:04I'm not dead yet.
00:43:09Stay right there.
00:43:11Unbelievable.
00:43:13He just crawls right back
00:43:14into our home
00:43:15like a stray.
00:43:16Somebody should call
00:43:17Animal Control.
00:43:18No need.
00:43:19We can evict him
00:43:20ourselves.
00:43:22Tonight.
00:43:23Good.
00:43:27Sophia.
00:43:31Look at me.
00:43:34No looks.
00:43:35You are not
00:43:36a husband.
00:43:37You are not
00:43:38a son-in-law.
00:43:39And you are not
00:43:40part of this family anymore.
00:43:43Tom?
00:43:44Show him the door.
00:43:46Oh, absolutely.
00:43:46Oh, but don't let him
00:43:47step on the lawn
00:43:47because the gardener
00:43:48just planted
00:43:49my favorite flowers
00:43:50and if he steps on them
00:43:51I'll just be so obsessed.
00:43:52Of course I may.
00:43:53All right.
00:43:54I know where the door is, Tom.
00:43:58Are you coming with me?
00:44:03Don't you dare.
00:44:06Do you want to kill
00:44:07your father
00:44:08with the stress?
00:44:13Do you want that
00:44:14on your conscience?
00:44:23Chris, I'm sorry.
00:44:35You're going to regret this.
00:44:38All of you.
00:44:39For every word.
00:44:42Every choice
00:44:42that you made today.
00:44:46Sure, whatever.
00:44:47Just put it in a greeting card.
00:44:48There's the door, Jim.
00:44:53I'm not giving up on this.
00:44:59Oh!
00:45:01Good riddance.
00:45:03Hey.
00:45:04Yeah?
00:45:05Someone's going to need
00:45:05to change the locks.
00:45:08Okay, yes.
00:45:11You're welcome.
00:45:11I love you.
00:45:19Vic.
00:45:20It's me.
00:45:22Do it.
00:45:23All of them.
00:45:25I want each one of them
00:45:26begging for mercy.
00:45:29I've got that new one of the chains.
00:45:31That's a cute one of Max.
00:45:33Oh, oh.
00:45:35Hello?
00:45:37Oh.
00:45:38Yeah.
00:45:40Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:45:41Uh, but I've...
00:45:43What do you mean effective immediately?
00:45:44I've headed that committee
00:45:45for three years.
00:45:46No, no, no,
00:45:47there has to be some mistake.
00:45:48I just closed the Fulton account.
00:45:50No, no, no, no, no.
00:45:50Wait, you can't...
00:45:51Revoke, no, I...
00:45:52Wait, wait, wait.
00:45:52You can't just restructure me out.
00:45:54I signed the promotion paperwork.
00:45:56Hello?
00:45:57Hello?
00:46:02Oh, my God.
00:46:03I was just fired.
00:46:05Me too.
00:46:07And they're rolling back my bonus
00:46:09reviewing irregularities.
00:46:11What...
00:46:12What just happened?
00:46:15It's Chris.
00:46:16The man is so toxic,
00:46:19he's taken us all down with him.
00:46:21Our brother-in-law's company
00:46:22is publicly outed as bankrupt
00:46:25and riddled with fraud,
00:46:26and then both of our careers
00:46:28just go up in smoke?
00:46:29That is not a coincidence.
00:46:32Wait a minute.
00:46:32So he shits the bed,
00:46:34and you two are collateral damage?
00:46:37Yes!
00:46:38You see?
00:46:38This is why I say
00:46:40sever ties.
00:46:42You don't know
00:46:43that Chris was the cause of this.
00:46:45Oh, don't be naive.
00:46:47He makes enemies
00:46:47wherever he even goes,
00:46:49and we are expected
00:46:50to foot the bill.
00:46:52We're not eating this.
00:46:53Not after everything.
00:46:55The city still owes
00:46:57on the demolition payout.
00:46:58Chris's childhood home
00:47:00is in the redevelopment zone.
00:47:02He is still owed
00:47:03a check
00:47:04for them tearing it down.
00:47:06So...
00:47:07We collect it
00:47:08as compensation
00:47:08for everything
00:47:09he put us through.
00:47:10Oh, you can't just take it.
00:47:11Watch us.
00:47:12We will file a claim
00:47:14through the executive room
00:47:15or whatever place, okay?
00:47:17By the time Chris figures out
00:47:18the money's gone,
00:47:20it's too late.
00:47:20It's ours.
00:47:21Yeah, we don't need
00:47:22to suffer
00:47:23for his incompetence.
00:47:24He will pay it out.
00:47:26Do it.
00:47:27Make him pay back
00:47:28every dollar
00:47:29he owes his family.
00:47:31That house
00:47:32is the only memory
00:47:34he has left
00:47:35of his parents.
00:47:36Well, he should have
00:47:37thought about that
00:47:37before he tanked
00:47:38his business
00:47:39and poisoned our names.
00:47:41Want to get the paper
00:47:42we're going?
00:47:42County records office
00:47:44will get in the morning.
00:47:44You're so smart, babe.
00:47:46You're saving the day.
00:47:48You see?
00:47:50We take care of our...
00:47:53God help.
00:47:55Any...
00:47:55Bucks with the Donovans!
00:48:02To anyone else,
00:48:04this is a run-down
00:48:04old house.
00:48:06But for me,
00:48:07it's home.
00:48:13Vostad,
00:48:13you're the last holdout.
00:48:14Just sign the property
00:48:15over and no one gets hurt.
00:48:16This house is the last
00:48:18thing left of my parents.
00:48:19You want it?
00:48:21You're going to have
00:48:22to tear it down
00:48:22with me in it.
00:48:28Oh, I knew Chris
00:48:29would be here.
00:48:31Get him to agree
00:48:33and that demolition payment
00:48:34is ours!
00:48:35It's his house
00:48:36and our survival.
00:48:38Don't you see it?
00:48:40His mess has already
00:48:41cost us money,
00:48:43jobs, status.
00:48:45You'll get him
00:48:46to sign it over
00:48:46because you're a
00:48:47Donovan first.
00:49:02Sofia...
00:49:04Hi!
00:49:10Go on.
00:49:11Isn't there something
00:49:12you want to say to him?
00:49:16Chris, I...
00:49:18I know how important
00:49:19this is...
00:49:20Just spit it out already!
00:49:23Please.
00:49:25Don't ask me to do this.
00:49:27Don't listen to him.
00:49:28He will just drag us down
00:49:30until we have nothing left.
00:49:32Go on.
00:49:33Talk some sense into him.
00:49:34He is going to bury us
00:49:36with him, Sofia.
00:49:37And what about Dad?
00:49:39Huh?
00:49:39He's going to kill him
00:49:40faster than the heart disease
00:49:41ever would.
00:49:50Chris, I'm sorry.
00:49:54It's just a lot of money.
00:49:57Okay, that's enough talking.
00:49:59Excuse me?
00:50:00Excuse us.
00:50:02I need more stuff.
00:50:03Oh, I hate these stairs.
00:50:04They're the first to go,
00:50:05I think.
00:50:15Ugly, hideous, horrible.
00:50:19Oh, well this has to be a knockoff.
00:50:23Chris's parents could never
00:50:25afford the real thing.
00:50:26Bag it, babe.
00:50:28Yes, ma'am.
00:50:30Oh, what is in here, huh?
00:50:35Pretty pricey for someone
00:50:36who can't even afford
00:50:37lunch meat, huh?
00:50:38Us belong to my grandmother.
00:50:40Oh, well.
00:50:41Then she should have
00:50:42taken them to the grave with her.
00:50:45These deadbeats sure know
00:50:46how to keep up appearances.
00:50:48Oh, wow.
00:50:49This is fancy.
00:50:50Tom, off the wall,
00:50:52in the bag now.
00:50:53Yep.
00:50:53Now let me ask you, Chris,
00:50:55are your mom and dad
00:50:57kleptomaniacs?
00:50:58Oh, yes.
00:51:02Somebody was very busy
00:51:04in kindergarten art class.
00:51:05My mother made that, okay?
00:51:07That's the last thing
00:51:08I have of hers.
00:51:09Oh, well.
00:51:11Mom certainly wasn't
00:51:12Michelangelo.
00:51:20Oops.
00:51:25That was priceless.
00:51:30Well, not anymore.
00:51:33Chris.
00:51:36I'm sorry.
00:51:40Oh, you had a wipe out.
00:51:42It's demolition time.
00:51:43Oh, wonderful.
00:51:49Oh, I hope you took pictures, Chris.
00:51:51Because this dump right here
00:51:52is about to be a pile of rubble.
00:51:54Let's go, boys.
00:51:58Woo!
00:51:59Woo!
00:52:07All right, great.
00:52:08You got a big bulldozer.
00:52:10But this house does not move.
00:52:11Not one brick.
00:52:13Move aside, Bell.
00:52:14Unless you want to get flattened out
00:52:15like a fucking pancake.
00:52:18Then you're going to have to take me out.
00:52:22This house goes down.
00:52:23It's landed on top of me.
00:52:25How pathetic.
00:52:26He's going to martyr himself
00:52:27over a shithole.
00:52:29Well, at least that saves us
00:52:30the paperwork.
00:52:55Who the fuck is it?
00:53:02Oh, if that bulldozer moves another inch,
00:53:04I will bury your little demolition racket
00:53:06in federal court.
00:53:09Kickbacks?
00:53:09Forged bids?
00:53:11Half of your payroll are ghosts.
00:53:14You don't think I see every wire transfer?
00:53:19This isn't over.
00:53:20Yes, it is.
00:53:22Walk.
00:53:26How sad.
00:53:29Yet another woman swooping in
00:53:32to rescue you.
00:53:35Come on.
00:53:36We're done here.
00:53:40I didn't want it to be like this.
00:53:42It doesn't have to be.
00:53:43If you just stay with me.
00:53:45Oh.
00:53:46What?
00:53:46So you can have another mistress?
00:53:49Look, I can explain all of this.
00:53:52Just...
00:53:53Not yet.
00:53:54Oh, mystery man has some secret timetable?
00:53:57Hmm?
00:53:58Hmm, maybe he's under an NDA.
00:54:00Let me translate for you, my dear.
00:54:02A man who has to explain
00:54:05is a man who is a liar.
00:54:08You can do better than that.
00:54:09Okay.
00:54:10You want to know the truth?
00:54:15The truth is...
00:54:17Victoria is not my mistress.
00:54:19She works for me.
00:54:20She's Apex Group's fixer.
00:54:22And I'm the Queen of Monaco.
00:54:24She has no power.
00:54:26Your company is a laughingstock.
00:54:28It is a disgrace.
00:54:29Not only are you delusional,
00:54:31but you also think that we're a bunch of fools.
00:54:33Do you see the sickness in this?
00:54:35He has created this whole fantasy
00:54:37where he's still rich
00:54:39and his assistant is some kind of, uh...
00:54:42Tony Soprano!
00:54:44If that's true...
00:54:46Why did you keep it for me?
00:54:48Why keep her a secret?
00:54:50Because she works in the shadows.
00:54:53And I couldn't...
00:54:56Oh, there it is.
00:54:58The sentence ends before the truth begins.
00:55:01So what?
00:55:02We're supposed to hang our livelihoods off of...
00:55:05Just...
00:55:05Just trust me, babe?
00:55:07He wants you to think
00:55:08it's a business relationship.
00:55:10But it's a cover.
00:55:11For a sham.
00:55:13For an affair.
00:55:14For a bunch of lies.
00:55:15That he thinks you
00:55:17are too stupid to see for.
00:55:19I can't breathe.
00:55:20Don't!
00:55:21Just don't!
00:55:31I want to send you a moment.
00:55:35Well, compensation first.
00:55:37Let's do the calculations.
00:55:38Um, let's see.
00:55:39Reputational harm,
00:55:41employees lost,
00:55:42and, um, distress.
00:55:43Oh, I was also very distressed.
00:55:46Very distressed.
00:55:46And you know what sounds good to me?
00:55:48Round numbers.
00:55:50You know,
00:55:50I think eight figures keeps it neat,
00:55:53but multiple aids keeps it fair.
00:55:55Yeah.
00:55:55You owe us for what you cost us.
00:55:59Fuck off.
00:56:00Well, not till we get what we want.
00:56:02I tell you what.
00:56:03Why don't you send us
00:56:04a cool 50 mil
00:56:05from one of those
00:56:06offshore accounts
00:56:07that we heard you have?
00:56:09Oh!
00:56:10You called the police.
00:56:13I did.
00:56:14I reported a few trespassers.
00:56:17We're not trespassing.
00:56:19This is my son-in-law's home,
00:56:21and we are reclaiming
00:56:23what is ours.
00:56:24Officer,
00:56:24I'd like to report
00:56:25an active burglary.
00:56:26No, no, no.
00:56:27You cannot arrest us.
00:56:28Sophia is still married to Chris,
00:56:30so his assets
00:56:31are community property.
00:56:33Sir,
00:56:33is this your residence?
00:56:37No.
00:56:38It belonged to my parents.
00:56:39Well, then,
00:56:40consider it payback
00:56:42for the affair you've been having.
00:56:44It's so obvious.
00:56:44These two are sleeping together.
00:56:46Just look at them.
00:56:47Call me, mistress,
00:56:47one more time
00:56:48and trickle your problems.
00:56:50Trespassing,
00:56:51burglary,
00:56:51slander.
00:56:52Okay, well,
00:56:53she didn't mean to.
00:56:54Too late.
00:56:55I'll be like orange.
00:56:56That'll be the only color
00:56:57in your closet
00:56:57for the next
00:56:58three to five years.
00:57:00Go ahead
00:57:01and arrest us.
00:57:02Parade us
00:57:03on the evening news
00:57:04and drag your boss
00:57:05through public humiliation
00:57:07and just see
00:57:07how the world reacts
00:57:08to this so-called
00:57:09affair you're having.
00:57:11I don't bluff.
00:57:12Wait, wait, wait.
00:57:14Please.
00:57:15Don't press charges.
00:57:16It's my mom,
00:57:18my dad,
00:57:19my sister.
00:57:21I...
00:57:21If you spare them,
00:57:24I'll let Chris go.
00:57:26If you want him,
00:57:27you can have him.
00:57:28Just don't destroy my family.
00:57:30Sophia.
00:57:30I have never wanted him like that.
00:57:33I respect him.
00:57:34I'm his fixer,
00:57:35not his mistress.
00:57:36That's all.
00:57:37At least escort them
00:57:38off the premises.
00:57:39Ah!
00:57:40No,
00:57:40no need.
00:57:42Adonovan
00:57:43doesn't overstay
00:57:44their welcome.
00:57:45Hmm.
00:57:52Hey,
00:57:53Sophia.
00:57:54Come on.
00:57:55Listen.
00:57:57I can make it up to you,
00:57:58okay?
00:57:59Promise.
00:58:01I might have to start small,
00:58:02but
00:58:03I don't know.
00:58:04The car that you were
00:58:05talking about,
00:58:06I'll get it for you
00:58:06tomorrow.
00:58:08Yes,
00:58:08you can't afford it.
00:58:10Why do you keep
00:58:11trying to do this?
00:58:14It's not the reason
00:58:15why I married you.
00:58:19Hey,
00:58:21I promise you
00:58:22I'm gonna make this right.
00:58:24Trust me.
00:58:38It's beautiful.
00:58:40It certainly is.
00:58:42It's yours.
00:58:44If you want it.
00:58:46If you can't afford it,
00:58:47sweetie,
00:58:48maybe don't touch.
00:58:50Lil,
00:58:50look at what the cat
00:58:51dragged in.
00:58:52Chris Bell.
00:58:54Professional failure.
00:58:55And the girl dumb enough
00:58:56to still believe in him.
00:58:57Hi,
00:58:58Lauren.
00:58:58What are you doing here?
00:59:00This car starts
00:59:02at 100k.
00:59:03This isn't
00:59:05a selfie museum.
00:59:06We were just
00:59:06looking.
00:59:08At what?
00:59:08Your reflections?
00:59:09You can't afford
00:59:10the merchandise.
00:59:12Babes,
00:59:12remember what I said.
00:59:13The poor come to luxury rooms
00:59:15like tourists
00:59:16at the zoo.
00:59:17They gawk
00:59:18and stare
00:59:19and then they leave.
00:59:23What color would you like?
00:59:27The pearl.
00:59:28I've
00:59:29always liked white.
00:59:31Still playing billionaire.
00:59:32I saw the headlines.
00:59:34Apex,
00:59:35bankrupt,
00:59:36fraudulent,
00:59:36blah blah.
00:59:37You went from visionary
00:59:39to vision.
00:59:40Tell you what,
00:59:41if you're real nice,
00:59:43we'll let you sit
00:59:44in the backseat
00:59:45so you can smell
00:59:45the upholstery.
00:59:48We need two.
00:59:50White and black.
00:59:52But the fastest
00:59:53trim on both.
00:59:54Oh, baby.
00:59:55Look at that.
00:59:56Performance theater.
00:59:58Start the paperwork.
00:59:59Use crayons.
01:00:02Here's my card.
01:00:03Chris.
01:00:04That's fine.
01:00:08This is going to be fun.
01:00:16Hear that, babes?
01:00:17That's the sound
01:00:18of desperation.
01:00:20It's so sad.
01:00:21Maybe it's a
01:00:22system issue.
01:00:27The system works fine
01:00:28for people with money.
01:00:30Okay.
01:00:31Just run a manual
01:00:32authorization.
01:00:33It says there's
01:00:34insufficient fines.
01:00:38Breaking news.
01:00:40The Apex Group
01:00:41Emperor has no clothes
01:00:43and no credit,
01:00:44apparently.
01:00:46Honey,
01:00:47there are plenty
01:00:48of great used lots
01:00:50in the Valley
01:00:50and they have
01:00:51free coffee, too.
01:00:52Just call your supervisor.
01:00:54Enable the corporate rails.
01:00:55Corporate rails?
01:00:57Someone learned
01:00:58a new phrase
01:00:58on TikTok.
01:01:00Cute shade.
01:01:01Is this a
01:01:02black diamond
01:01:03or the party city edition?
01:01:05All right.
01:01:07Thanks.
01:01:10Where'd you get those?
01:01:11Out of a claw machine
01:01:12at Chuck E. Cheese?
01:01:13Counterfeits a crime
01:01:15is slick.
01:01:16Call your manager
01:01:17now.
01:01:18And you two.
01:01:20You should be
01:01:21very scared.
01:01:22Not of me,
01:01:23but of your boss
01:01:24when he finds out
01:01:25who you've been
01:01:26insulted.
01:01:27We run this floor.
01:01:28Keep talking.
01:01:29Maybe we'll get you
01:01:30a complimentary keychain
01:01:31on the way out.
01:01:32Chris, are those real?
01:01:34They certainly are.
01:01:36What's the problem here?
01:01:38Mr. Stone.
01:01:39Perfect timing.
01:01:40This broke customer
01:01:42is trying to buy
01:01:43a vehicle
01:01:43with a dead stack
01:01:45of plastic.
01:01:46And those are those?
01:01:48Those would be mine.
01:01:49It looks like
01:01:50your terminal
01:01:51is refusing
01:01:52corporate authorization.
01:01:56Terminal 2?
01:01:57Naval Bank Direct?
01:01:59Correct.
01:02:02Wait a minute.
01:02:03This isn't just
01:02:03black diamond.
01:02:04This is...
01:02:06Supreme tier.
01:02:09Only a few exist.
01:02:11Run it.
01:02:12Now!
01:02:19Pen?
01:02:20Sir?
01:02:22Of course.
01:02:31My apologies,
01:02:32Mr.
01:02:33Bell.
01:02:35Mr. Bell.
01:02:36Welcome.
01:02:38I do apologize
01:02:39that you weren't
01:02:39recognized sooner
01:02:40and on behalf
01:02:41of my salespeople
01:02:43who are complete
01:02:44incompetent...
01:02:45It must be
01:02:46a mistake.
01:02:47No, it's no mistake.
01:02:48I want both of you
01:02:48off my floor.
01:02:50Let's head to the detail bay.
01:02:51I got a couple of cars
01:02:52that need to wash.
01:02:53You were just
01:02:54trying to protect
01:02:55the dealership.
01:02:56By insulting a VIP.
01:02:58And his lovely wife.
01:03:01Mrs. Bell,
01:03:02I sincerely apologize.
01:03:04In this showroom,
01:03:06we take pride
01:03:06in excellence
01:03:07and discretion.
01:03:09We failed you both today.
01:03:12Mr. Stone, please.
01:03:13This man is not a VIP.
01:03:14He's a bankrupt listener.
01:03:15I'm going to take back
01:03:16what I said.
01:03:17You're both fired.
01:03:19You can't do that.
01:03:21I'm your top salesperson.
01:03:22Correction.
01:03:23You were.
01:03:23I'm just a liability.
01:03:25This is crazy.
01:03:26So it is approved once.
01:03:28I mean,
01:03:29it's a glitch.
01:03:53This is a glitch.
01:03:55Mr. Stone,
01:03:56we were only trying
01:03:57to do our job.
01:03:58He's a con man.
01:03:59Haven't you seen
01:03:59the headlines?
01:04:00Maybe you shouldn't
01:04:01listen to everything
01:04:02you read on the internet.
01:04:04Sophia,
01:04:05we were high school
01:04:06classmates.
01:04:07Please,
01:04:08say something.
01:04:09You were awful
01:04:10to me back then, too.
01:04:12You always
01:04:13will just be the same.
01:04:16You think standing
01:04:17next to him
01:04:18makes you a somebody?
01:04:19All it makes you
01:04:21is the plus one
01:04:22to a worthless nobody.
01:04:23When the money dries up
01:04:25and it will,
01:04:26you'll be the one
01:04:27hoarding food stamps
01:04:28while he's hiding
01:04:29from the debt collector.
01:04:30I've heard enough.
01:04:32Security,
01:04:33let's hoard these two.
01:04:35You can play rich
01:04:36all you want,
01:04:37but we know exactly
01:04:38what you are.
01:04:39Nothing!
01:04:42Get him out of here.
01:04:48Chris,
01:04:50how can you afford
01:04:51all these cars?
01:04:54Uh,
01:04:56the rumors about
01:04:57my company's death
01:04:58may be
01:05:00premature.
01:05:01Look,
01:05:01I can't explain it.
01:05:03Just,
01:05:04not yet.
01:05:08I need you to trust me.
01:05:10just a little
01:05:12while longer,
01:05:13okay?
01:05:14I won't let you done.
01:05:23Hey,
01:05:23Vic.
01:05:25Yeah?
01:05:27Oh,
01:05:28I'm ready.
01:05:29It's time to finish
01:05:30what we started.
01:05:33Langford Capital's
01:05:34hosting a shareholder
01:05:35meeting tomorrow
01:05:36at 3 p.m.
01:05:38I'm going to be
01:05:38making a surprise
01:05:39keynote.
01:05:41What are you up to?
01:05:43Just bring the whole family.
01:05:46Make sure you sit
01:05:47in the front row.
01:05:55Security's in its place.
01:05:56The press is in the pen.
01:05:57The exit route
01:05:58is the service corridor
01:05:59in case anyone
01:06:00in the room
01:06:00gets feral.
01:06:01No one.
01:06:02Prepare for the
01:06:03worst-case scenario.
01:06:05And after?
01:06:06After you can breathe.
01:06:08Maybe apologize
01:06:09to the one person
01:06:10who deserves it.
01:06:20Even if she never
01:06:21forgives me,
01:06:22the truth is simple.
01:06:24I did this for us.
01:06:39Good afternoon,
01:06:41ladies and gentlemen.
01:06:42Thank you
01:06:42for coming.
01:06:44Before we begin today,
01:06:45I'd like to make an announcement.
01:06:47Today,
01:06:48Langford Capital
01:06:49has protected its future
01:06:50by joining forces
01:06:52with Barron Holdings.
01:06:57Hey, wait up.
01:06:59Hey!
01:06:59I was serious back there,
01:07:01alright?
01:07:02With Apex Group
01:07:03crashing and burning,
01:07:04the future could be ours.
01:07:06Merge with Langford Capital.
01:07:08We could bury
01:07:09our competition.
01:07:11We'd be unstoppable.
01:07:18You see, my dear?
01:07:20Well,
01:07:21Derek
01:07:22is building an empire.
01:07:24Your husband
01:07:24is circling
01:07:25the drain.
01:07:27You chose wrong, darling.
01:07:29Looking forward
01:07:30to today's agenda.
01:07:31The first thing
01:07:31we will do
01:07:32is be looking at
01:07:33last quarter's
01:07:34financial results.
01:07:35this is going
01:07:51Isn't that
01:07:52Chris Bell?
01:07:53I heard he was
01:07:54homeless
01:07:55and bankrupt.
01:07:57Oh, God.
01:07:58He's about to
01:07:58humiliate himself
01:07:59again.
01:08:00Maybe they'll
01:08:01catch it on camera.
01:08:03Chris Bell,
01:08:03crashing my party.
01:08:05Bold move.
01:08:07Pointless.
01:08:09But bold.
01:08:10You don't
01:08:10belong
01:08:11in this room.
01:08:12You said it yourself.
01:08:14You're toxic.
01:08:15Correction.
01:08:16I own this room.
01:08:18And it's
01:08:19not the only thing
01:08:20that I own.
01:08:22What are you
01:08:22babbling on about?
01:08:24I own
01:08:25Baron Holdings, too.
01:08:28That's insane.
01:08:30Impossible.
01:08:31Not possible.
01:08:33Calculating.
01:08:34You see,
01:08:35while Derek
01:08:35was busy
01:08:36gloating
01:08:36about my
01:08:37supposed bankruptcy,
01:08:39Apex Global
01:08:40quietly built
01:08:41a shadow position
01:08:42in Baron Holdings.
01:08:43So by the time
01:08:44he poured
01:08:45the champagne
01:08:46and whispered
01:08:47sweet mergers
01:08:47in Marina's ear,
01:08:48I already
01:08:49owned
01:08:50her board.
01:08:51So,
01:08:53when Langford
01:08:54merged with Baron
01:08:55just this morning,
01:08:57guess who's
01:08:57controlling vote
01:08:58dictated
01:09:00the chance?
01:09:03Derek,
01:09:04that merger
01:09:05that you bragged about,
01:09:07it wasn't
01:09:08your crowning move.
01:09:09It was my endgame.
01:09:12It wasn't
01:09:14your crowning move.
01:09:15It was my endgame.
01:09:16Baron swallowed
01:09:17Langford whole,
01:09:18and since I
01:09:19own Baron,
01:09:20that makes me
01:09:21majority shareholder
01:09:22involved,
01:09:23which means,
01:09:24Derek,
01:09:25I'm not crashing
01:09:26your meeting.
01:09:29I'm running it.
01:09:31That can't be true.
01:09:33We saw
01:09:33the bankruptcy filings.
01:09:35He is bluffing.
01:09:36He has to be bluffing.
01:09:37He's pathological.
01:09:39He's such a liar.
01:09:40You're finished.
01:09:41Effective
01:09:42immediately.
01:09:44You can't do that.
01:09:44I just
01:09:45did.
01:09:46And Marina,
01:09:49that cushy seat
01:09:50next to him,
01:09:51well,
01:09:51that's gone too.
01:09:52Fortunately,
01:09:53you aligned yourself
01:09:53with the wrong savior.
01:09:55Now,
01:09:55you both
01:09:56report to me.
01:09:57In fact,
01:09:58let's make it official.
01:10:00Derek Langford
01:10:01and Marina Baron,
01:10:02you
01:10:03both
01:10:03are
01:10:04terminated.
01:10:07I own the board.
01:10:09I own
01:10:10the vote.
01:10:12And now,
01:10:15I own
01:10:16you.
01:10:38I'm sure you all
01:10:39are wondering why
01:10:40I let the world
01:10:42think I was finished.
01:10:43Why I let
01:10:44everyone write
01:10:45my obituary
01:10:46while I just
01:10:47sat by quietly.
01:10:50Because when
01:10:51the predators
01:10:52start to circle,
01:10:53you don't
01:10:54raise a red flag.
01:10:57Play dead.
01:10:58You let them
01:10:59think that
01:11:00they've already
01:11:01won.
01:11:03Why they
01:11:03first move?
01:11:05Because if I
01:11:06didn't,
01:11:07they certainly
01:11:08would've.
01:11:09They weren't
01:11:09just eyeing
01:11:10a marriage
01:11:11between
01:11:11Langford
01:11:12and Baron,
01:11:13they were
01:11:14coming for
01:11:15Apex 2.
01:11:16Every seat,
01:11:17every share.
01:11:19And when the dust
01:11:20settled,
01:11:21they would've left us
01:11:22with absolutely
01:11:23nothing.
01:11:24While you're making
01:11:25confessions to your
01:11:26wife,
01:11:27you might as well
01:11:28tell her everything.
01:11:30Including
01:11:30our affair.
01:11:33You hear that,
01:11:34self?
01:11:35Your knight in
01:11:36shining armor is
01:11:37actually just another
01:11:37cheating bastard.
01:11:39So what, huh?
01:11:40You're torching our
01:11:41family and then
01:11:42humiliating our sister?
01:11:43Hmm?
01:11:44Look,
01:11:44I already told you.
01:11:46This guy's
01:11:47foisoning.
01:11:48Tell me it's
01:11:49not true.
01:11:51You already
01:11:52know the answer
01:11:53to that.
01:11:54Of course
01:11:55it's not.
01:11:56She's desperate.
01:11:58Don't torture
01:11:59yourself,
01:12:00sweetheart.
01:12:01Remember
01:12:01the documents
01:12:02you signed
01:12:03before the wedding?
01:12:04I am sure
01:12:05they are
01:12:06an Ironclad
01:12:07prenup.
01:12:08Now,
01:12:08I bet every
01:12:09dollar that he
01:12:10shielded his
01:12:11state with
01:12:11Apex Global
01:12:12so you'll be
01:12:13left with
01:12:13nothing either way.
01:12:15It's funny
01:12:15that you bring
01:12:16up those documents.
01:12:23Go on.
01:12:25Read it.
01:12:27Out loud.
01:12:32This isn't
01:12:33a prenup.
01:12:34Of course
01:12:34it is.
01:12:35Don't be blind.
01:12:36You're not
01:12:36a lawyer,
01:12:37Sophia.
01:12:38I'm sure
01:12:38he tricked you
01:12:39into giving away
01:12:40everything.
01:12:41It's a
01:12:42transfer of
01:12:43controlling
01:12:43interests.
01:12:45Chris,
01:12:46maybe a
01:12:46majority shareholder
01:12:47of Apex
01:12:47global
01:12:49before the
01:12:50wedding.
01:12:50No!
01:12:52No!
01:12:53No,
01:12:54no,
01:12:54no,
01:12:54no!
01:12:55No!
01:12:56But she's
01:12:57worth
01:12:57$80 billion
01:12:58which makes
01:12:59her the richest
01:13:00person in this room.
01:13:01go on.
01:13:05Sofia,
01:13:07sweetheart,
01:13:08we were wrong.
01:13:10We just
01:13:11didn't understand.
01:13:12we're idiots.
01:13:13Oh yeah,
01:13:14you know that
01:13:14we love you
01:13:15and everything
01:13:17that we did.
01:13:17I mean,
01:13:18stupid maybe,
01:13:19but it's her
01:13:19family.
01:13:21Sofia,
01:13:22please,
01:13:23now listen.
01:13:24We are on our knees. Please, we're only looking out for your best ideas.
01:13:30Sweetheart, sweetheart, after everything we did for you, you owe us.
01:13:36We are your flesh and blood and we need your help.
01:13:43We don't need much, just a billion or two.
01:13:50After everything, I finally see the truth. Chris believed in me when no one else did.
01:14:03And I choose it.
01:14:07Soph, I'm sorry I had to hide this from you, but trust me when I say I did this for
01:14:14us.
01:14:15It was truthfully the only merger that ever really mattered was you and me, Soph.
01:14:23I love you.
01:14:24I love you.
01:14:27How do you do?
01:14:31What do you do?
