00:00:27Everything we need
00:00:28for the next 72 hours.
00:00:31Liquid.
00:00:32Untouchable.
00:00:34Derek has already started moving against you.
00:00:36Lining up investors,
00:00:37whispering 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.
00:00:51Enough evidence to convince the world
00:00:52that Apex is circling the drain.
00:00:54He'll think he scooped everyone.
00:00:56Good.
00:00:57Give him what he wants.
00:00:58The company on its knees.
00:01:00And 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,
00:01:11Derek won't just lose the company.
00:01:15He'll lose everything.
00:01:26Very clearly on the ground for you.
00:01:28It's all good.
00:01:33Oh, God.
00:01:35Oh, my God.
00:01:37Oh, my God.
00:01:41Oh, God.
00:01:42Oh, God, thank God.
00:01:45Lord, today we are blessed beyond measure.
00:01:48Not only because it is the day of your wedding,
00:01:51but because we are blessed with a son-in-law
00:01:53that is a CEO of Apex Group,
00:01:55a man of vision, a man of means.
00:01:57A billionaire who will protect our daughter
00:02:00and 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,
00:02:21take Chris Bell to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:02:26I do.
00:02:28Then by the power vested in me...
00:02:32Stop this wedding!
00:02:36Your billionaire groom is nothing but a fraud.
00:02:48Chris Bell, CEO of Apex Group?
00:02:53Right.
00:02:54Try bankrupt loser.
00:02:56Whoa.
00:02:58That's right.
00:02:59Apex Group is ruined.
00:03:02Sophia, you're about to marry a penniless con man.
00:03:08And 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!
00:03:23Whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:03:24Wait!
00:03:24Oh, my God!
00:03:26Help!
00:03:26By order of the court...
00:03:28No!
00:03:29No!
00:03:30Move!
00:03:30You fraud!
00:03:35And property...
00:03:37Of the bakery.
00:03:39No!
00:03:52Stop!
00:03:53That cake costs more than your salary!
00:03:58No!
00:04:02No!
00:04:04No!
00:04:05No!
00:04:07No!
00:04:08No!
00:04:10No!
00:04:12No!
00:04:12No!
00:04:13No!
00:04:13No!
00:04:13No!
00:04:14No!
00:04:15No!
00:04:15No!
00:04:16No!
00:04:17No!
00:04:18No!
00:04:18No!
00:04:18No!
00:04:19No!
00:04:20No!
00:04:22No!
00:04:24No!
00:04:26Is it really true?
00:04:29Are you...
00:04:31Bro?
00:04:35I hate lying to her, but she can't know the truth.
00:04:38Not yet.
00:04:42Yes.
00:04:57I tried to warn you, Chris was never the man he said he was.
00:05:00You don't have to go home to that deadbeat bum.
00:05:03You deserve better.
00:05:04You deserve someone who can actually take care of you.
00:05:06Not now, Derek.
00:05:08I just got married.
00:05:10Just think about it.
00:05:11You and me, we always made more sense.
00:05:16Sophia!
00:05:30Will it work?
00:05:31Still feels like I'm putting a knife on her back.
00:05:33No one can know that Apex is broke, not even Sophia.
00:05:37And there's a bonus.
00:05:38If she stays with you on your penniless, you'll know she truly loves you.
00:05:41She's not a test, Victoria.
00:05:43She's my wife.
00:05:45Full 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.
00:05:56I can't tell her yet.
00:05:58Not until the takeover is complete.
00:06:00And our future is secure.
00:06:16You have some nerve walking in here.
00:06:19This is Sophia's home.
00:06:21She's my wife.
00:06:23Wife?
00:06:23You tricked her.
00:06:25You tricked all of us.
00:06:27You 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.
00:06:34Correction.
00:06:34Not rich.
00:06:35More like bankrupt.
00:06:37You think money is the most important thing, but it's not.
00:06:40Chris is a good person.
00:06:41He's honest and he treats me with respect.
00:06:44Alright, well, let's see what you brought us anyway.
00:06:46Just a couple tokens of my appreciation, Charlotte.
00:06:50I'm aware you like a nice glass of red before bed.
00:06:53So 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.
00:07:01Books?
00:07:02He brought us books?
00:07:03What are we supposed to do with a book, Chris?
00:07:05We'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.
00:07:23I thought you would appreciate the backstory.
00:07:25The backstory?
00:07:27We love stories.
00:07:29Like fairy tales.
00:07:29You mean like the fairy tale where you're a billionaire?
00:07:33Oh, I love that one.
00:07:34That's a good one.
00:07:37You're so funny.
00:07:46Burns well.
00:07:47Look at that.
00:07:57Thank you, General.
00:08:10Nice.
00:08:11That's looks real.
00:08:12That seat is for family.
00:08:15What?
00:08:16He can sit at the end if he's so desperate to eat.
00:08:20I hope you don't mind scraps, champ.
00:08:22That's usually all that's left over when it gets to the end of the table.
00:08:24Especially after you.
00:08:25No, no, no, no.
00:08:30Sophia.
00:08:32You know, you could still get an annulment tonight.
00:08:37Oh, my dear, that is a brilliant idea.
00:08:40You know, I still have Judge Wagner on speed dial.
00:08:43I'll just give him a call.
00:08:44I bet he would be here in about ten minutes.
00:08:45Mom, please.
00:08:46What?
00:08:47Just put your phone in there.
00:08:49Fine.
00:08:50But I don't see the point in waiting.
00:08:53Okay, everyone.
00:08:54To my beautiful Sophia.
00:08:56You deserve the world.
00:08:59But instead, you got a pathetic drifter.
00:09:10Smells good.
00:09:11Is this...
00:09:12Cal?
00:09:13Hey.
00:09:13Handsome.
00:09:15Bottoms up.
00:09:20Bottoms up.
00:09:28I guess I should have gone with the white.
00:09:31Butterfingers.
00:09:32Oh, my God.
00:09:34Would you all give it a rest already?
00:09:36Whoa.
00:09:37Excuse me.
00:09:37You brought him into our home.
00:09:40And 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.
00:09:50It's a parasite.
00:09:51Don't talk about my husband like that.
00:09:53He doesn't even have the guts to defend himself.
00:10:02Just eat.
00:10:04Please.
00:10:09Uh-uh-uh.
00:10:12What do you think you're doing?
00:10:19Sofia hasn't eaten much, so I thought I would...
00:10:21Oh, the pauper is trying to play the provider now.
00:10:25Oh, no.
00:10:26Maybe your wife just lost her appetite because she married a stone bro.
00:10:31Shit heel.
00:10:31Don't strain yourself, Chris.
00:10:33You might pull muscle trying to lift this chunk of protein.
00:10:37You know, Chris, the good food is for people that contribute.
00:10:40Not you, princess.
00:10:51Bon appetit.
00:10:57You sit under this roof, eating our food, moving in, and freeloading.
00:11:02What is it, exactly, that you bring to the table?
00:11:05Well, for one, I married your daughter.
00:11:15And what, you think that makes you automatically a part of this family?
00:11:20You think that marrying Sofia is some kind of gift to us?
00:11:23It's not a gift. It's a burden. It's a liability. It's a state.
00:11:28Please, Mom.
00:11:29No, let him hear it.
00:11:30You want to be part of this family, then?
00:11:31You need to know your place.
00:11:33Because you're nobody's son-in-law.
00:11:35You're just a dog that we let in the back door.
00:11:39So go ahead, kid. Eat up.
00:11:42Woof, woof.
00:11:43Ha, ha, ha, ha...
00:12:01Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:12:03Ha, ha, ha, ha...
00:12:10HaH gereal thinking about your character.
00:12:12Ha, ha, ha, he!
00:12:14That's a good boy.
00:12:19You know, Sun Tzu says, patience is the key to victory.
00:12:23And I am a very patient man.
00:12:26Look at this guy.
00:12:28I mean, he doesn't even fight back.
00:12:29Not a word.
00:12:30It's because he knows it's true.
00:12:32He's nothing, just a worthless half-wit.
00:12:34And to think, my daughter is married to a man who can't even afford to buy her flowers, let alone
00:12:39put a roof over her head.
00:12:41Well, what can we have here, huh?
00:12:43The happy bride and her poor little groom.
00:12:47Derek, what a surprise.
00:12:49Well, you certainly have a hop in your step.
00:12:51Indeed I do.
00:12:53Langford Capital just secured a quarter of a billion dollars in financing.
00:12:57Record profits.
00:12:58We're expanding faster than any other company on the market.
00:13:01Oh my god, a quarter billion?
00:13:03That's incredible.
00:13:04But we're just getting started.
00:13:06By next spring, Langford Capital will be the biggest and the best private equity fund in the country.
00:13:12Especially with Apex Groups circling the drain.
00:13:15Isn't that right, Chris?
00:13:20Imagine if Sophia married Derek.
00:13:23I think about that.
00:13:24Every single day.
00:13:26Mom, you were thrilled when I married Chris this morning.
00:13:28Yes, I was.
00:13:29But secretly, I was hoping you'd end up with Derek.
00:13:34I'll tell you what.
00:13:35Family sticks together.
00:13:36Tom?
00:13:36We're hiring brilliant minds over at Langford Capital.
00:13:39And I have just the position for you.
00:13:41How about head of the Strategic Wealth Fund?
00:13:47You hear that?
00:13:48That is what a son-in-law does.
00:13:51He builds.
00:13:52He protects.
00:13:53He provides.
00:13:55And he doesn't lie to you.
00:13:58Sophia, it's not too late.
00:14:00You can still fix it.
00:14:04Just unknow the marriage.
00:14:07And walk away.
00:14:09I already told you.
00:14:11I don't want to hear it.
00:14:13You.
00:14:15Well.
00:14:16Sign.
00:14:17This paper.
00:14:19And annul this marriage.
00:14:21Mom, please.
00:14:22Sign it.
00:14:23You will not drag the Donovan family down with you.
00:14:28Mom, stop.
00:14:30Sign the divorce papers.
00:14:32And unknow this marriage now.
00:14:45Jack!
00:14:47Oh my god.
00:14:48Jack!
00:14:52Somebody do something.
00:14:55Oh my god!
00:14:57You're texting while my father is having a heart attack?
00:15:00He's probably texting his side piece already.
00:15:02I have been worried about Jack for a long time.
00:15:04So for the past six months, I've been working with specialists at Apex to try to find a cure.
00:15:08Oh, right.
00:15:09Because Apex is some kind of like magic shop now.
00:15:11What's next, Chris?
00:15:12You're going to try to sell us unicorn tears in a jar?
00:15:15Laugh all you want.
00:15:16But this could be the only thing that can actually cure him.
00:15:18This isn't some medical breakthrough.
00:15:20This is all about your ego.
00:15:23Because you cannot stand the fact that we all know that you are useless.
00:15:27So you just make up fantasies.
00:15:30I mean, what is next, Chris?
00:15:32You're going to sprinkle fairy dust on my father and tell us that he's healed?
00:15:35What, are you just going to bring him over to the garage and hook him up to jumper cables?
00:15:38You're a fraud.
00:15:39And you always have been.
00:15:40If you lay a finger on him, you'll kill him faster than the disease itself.
00:15:46I've also been sending messages to someone who actually knows what they're doing.
00:15:50Dean Hargrove, chief of medicine over at Crestview Hospital.
00:15:54A real doctor with real credentials.
00:15:56And expensive.
00:15:58But he's worth it.
00:16:00Because unlike your made-up magical cure, he's not going to kill my father.
00:16:04That's what a real son-in-law does.
00:16:07He is generous and he is serious about families.
00:16:11Unlike this twisted truth, fucker.
00:16:15You think your limp dick husband is going to compete with that?
00:16:18Please.
00:16:19This isn't a competition.
00:16:20I just want Jack to get better.
00:16:22It's not a competition.
00:16:25Oh.
00:16:26You just want Jack to get better, do you?
00:16:30Well, why don't you try this?
00:16:32Oh!
00:16:34Yay, finally some real entertainment.
00:16:37Yeah, maybe that'll shut him up.
00:16:38What is the matter with you?
00:16:39He is just a deadbeat grifter.
00:16:42He needs to get out of this house.
00:16:44Yeah, and he's as welcome as a turd in the family punch bowl.
00:16:47Yeah, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner we can all move on.
00:16:53That must be Dr. Hargrove.
00:17:12Doctor, thank you so much for coming to our family.
00:17:15We know how precious your time is.
00:17:17When it comes to family health, nothing is more important.
00:17:20Did you hear that?
00:17:21Nothing's more important than family.
00:17:23A real doctor.
00:17:24Unlike your, uh, snake oil, hmm?
00:17:28So why don't you just take your lies and get the hell out of this house?
00:17:35Listen, I think through it.
00:17:37I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
00:17:46Jack's condition has advanced.
00:17:48Oh my God.
00:17:49His lungs are weak.
00:17:51Circulation is very poor.
00:17:52He might only have a couple of weeks to maybe a few months.
00:17:56Oh my God.
00:17:56Right now, I can only suggest palliative measures.
00:17:59Palliative?
00:18:00You mean there's...
00:18:01There's nothing medicine can do.
00:18:03I'm sorry.
00:18:04Just cherish the time that you still have with him.
00:18:07And you, trying to use my father as a guinea pig for your Frankenstein cure.
00:18:13He's only going to kill him faster.
00:18:17Dr. Hargrove, help him.
00:18:22He's crashing.
00:18:24We don't have time.
00:18:25I can't breathe.
00:18:25Do something if you are such a genius.
00:18:34Just in time.
00:18:57What is this circus?
00:19:02And what the hell is that?
00:19:03I built Apex on breakthroughs the rest of the world thought were impossible.
00:19:07This vial right here is the first drug of its kind developed by a team of specialists for one man's
00:19:12condition.
00:19:14Jack's.
00:19:14The old man needs a miracle, not some science fiction on a goddamn needle.
00:19:18Or this is his endgame.
00:19:21You kill him and then you inherit Sophia without all the trouble.
00:19:24You are not sticking that needle anywhere near my husband, over my dead body.
00:19:32Chris, please.
00:19:34You have two, maybe three minutes left unless you let me help you right now.
00:19:41Jack.
00:19:43Help me.
00:19:44If this kills him, I will kill you.
00:19:48Are you sure about this?
00:19:50I wouldn't risk it if I wasn't.
00:19:52Trust me.
00:19:53Do it.
00:19:54Doc?
00:19:55Jack.
00:20:06Okay, Jack.
00:20:08Okay, Jack.
00:20:08Okay, Jack.
00:20:38Jeff, I can breathe.
00:20:43His pulse, it's stronger, remarkably stronger.
00:20:48It's just blind luck, it's some kind of fluke.
00:20:51Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
00:20:54I'll take that as a thank you.
00:20:57Jack, get some rest.
00:20:59I'll leave a monitor here overnight and check on you in the morning.
00:21:04Thank you, Dr. Harcroft.
00:21:06It's okay.
00:21:08Oh, Max, sweetie.
00:21:12Babe, didn't you say that you had some special surprise in the car for Max?
00:21:17Yes, yes I did, my favorite little guy.
00:21:20Max, let's go.
00:21:21Come on, buddy.
00:21:23That's enough doom and gloom around here.
00:21:25It's time for this family to have some fun.
00:21:27And for you to finally see how a real man provides for his family.
00:21:37Limited edition, custom king job.
00:21:40You can only get one of these if you know somebody.
00:21:44Go get it, tiger.
00:21:47Wow, Max, I can put a spin.
00:21:50You see, Chris, this is what a real son-in-law does.
00:21:55He provides status, toys, and joy.
00:21:59Boy's got a left foot on the pedal.
00:22:01I'm sorry, Chris.
00:22:02Everyone will come rude.
00:22:04Don't make it up to yourself.
00:22:05Promise.
00:22:06It won't be like this for long.
00:22:07Face it, Chris.
00:22:08You could literally never get anything like this for your kid.
00:22:12Well, unless you found an abandoned one at the thrift store he shops at.
00:22:16Ooh, baby, look how fast he's going.
00:22:18That's my boy.
00:22:25Hey, Victoria.
00:22:26I need you to do me one more favor.
00:22:28This looks so cool.
00:22:30It's half to me.
00:22:31Only the best for my boy.
00:22:37It's like daycare.
00:22:42Yeah?
00:22:43Arriving now, boss.
00:22:45Thanks, Vic.
00:22:46Quick announcement, everyone.
00:22:48I have a surprise for you all outside.
00:22:50Oh, yeah?
00:22:50What is it?
00:22:51A coupon for a half-off pizza?
00:22:53Maybe it's a pawn shop conca truck.
00:22:56No.
00:22:58That's something money can't buy.
00:23:03Okay.
00:23:04Max, come on.
00:23:05All right.
00:23:05Hey, let's go, Max.
00:23:07Let's go take this baby girl.
00:23:09Yeah.
00:23:13Look at it go.
00:23:14Let's go, Max.
00:23:16Oh, my God.
00:23:18Oh, that has to be fake.
00:23:20No one would let a child play with something like that.
00:23:22What am I looking at?
00:23:23The fleet of top-of-the-line prototypes.
00:23:25Fully safe, fully licensed.
00:23:27The only one of its kind in the country.
00:23:28Do you expect us to believe that he could afford to bring something like this to our house?
00:23:34It's pretty neat, huh?
00:23:35This is the coolest thing ever.
00:23:37That can happen?
00:23:38What?
00:23:38No, no.
00:23:39You know, Max, don't get too excited.
00:23:41Yeah.
00:23:42They're knockoffs.
00:23:43Cheap imports made to look expensive.
00:23:46It happens all the time.
00:23:46They're probably defective, sweetie.
00:23:48Max, Max.
00:23:49And yet, he parades it on my front lawn in some kind of pathetic attempt to convince us
00:23:55that he's some powerful big shot.
00:23:57Chris, how did you afford this?
00:24:00Must have cost millions of dollars.
00:24:02Yeah, Chris.
00:24:03Are you actually bankrupt or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:24:09Are you actually bankrupt or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:24:13Damn it.
00:24:14I overplayed my hand.
00:24:16Showing off a fleet of DARPA prototypes was a bad move.
00:24:20I didn't buy them.
00:24:22I borrowed them from a friend.
00:24:24They're on loan from a defense contractor I did some consulting for.
00:24:30Chris, you don't have to keep doing this.
00:24:32Trying to prove yourself to my family.
00:24:34Let them think whatever they want.
00:24:36The more they underestimate me, the better.
00:24:42I didn't see it before.
00:24:44Now, it's clear as day.
00:24:47You're a real con man, aren't you, Chris?
00:24:49Just squirreling away whatever scraps of money you can find
00:24:53and then just linging it at gadgets.
00:24:56Mom.
00:24:56No, Sophia.
00:24:57Look at us.
00:24:58My husband is sick.
00:24:59This house is bleeding us dry.
00:25:02And you, instead of improving her station in life,
00:25:07you just throw cash at toys.
00:25:09You disgust me.
00:25:11He didn't buy them.
00:25:12Then he took out a bunch of IOUs.
00:25:14Listen to me.
00:25:15When that company comes to collect,
00:25:16we are all in a lot of trouble.
00:25:21You know, I'm just going to say it.
00:25:23I'm not giving you a cent.
00:25:25No, no, no.
00:25:26I'm not going to be bankrolling my grifter of a brother-in-law
00:25:29who is just trying to hustle us all out of money.
00:25:31Listen, none of you need to pay anything.
00:25:34So if you don't pay, then who does?
00:25:36How does a skid row reject like you afford something like that?
00:25:39I don't have to pay either.
00:25:40So what?
00:25:42You just call in a favor at the Pentagon?
00:25:44Oh, you have DARPA on speed dial?
00:25:48Oh, wow!
00:25:49As a matter of fact, yes, I do.
00:25:54Anyway, it's none of your concern.
00:25:56You know, all this idle chit-chat, I completely forgot.
00:26:00You two need to sign the annulment papers.
00:26:02And I'd be happy to take you as my wife.
00:26:05Sophia, you deserve a partner who can put a diamond on your finger
00:26:09and not dirt under your nails.
00:26:11It's time to move on from this charlatan.
00:26:14Sophia, why don't we just put an end to this
00:26:17and we can forget it ever happened.
00:26:36Sophia, don't let pride get in the way of you making the right decision.
00:26:42Sophia, he is not the same man that you married.
00:26:46No one would blame you.
00:26:47It's modern times so.
00:26:49Nobody takes wedding vows seriously anymore.
00:26:51It's all free love, free marriage.
00:26:54You should trade up while you still can.
00:26:56We can go to the courthouse right now.
00:26:58We can get it all done tonight.
00:26:59An annulment, a marriage.
00:27:01Two for one.
00:27:02Enough!
00:27:03God!
00:27:05I am still right here.
00:27:07And if you keep insulting me and Sophia,
00:27:09don't be surprised if we walk out of here for good.
00:27:12Together.
00:27:14There it is.
00:27:15Anger.
00:27:16Typical impotent man's weapon.
00:27:18Violence and empty threats.
00:27:21Don't make it worse.
00:27:22Sophia, are you listening to what the shit is?
00:27:24They're saying they're trying to force us to annul our marriage.
00:27:28It's all talk.
00:27:29But they're just in shock.
00:27:31I'm not in shock.
00:27:32Tomorrow morning, Chris,
00:27:34you will take my daughter down to the courthouse
00:27:38and get an annulment and end this sham of a union.
00:27:41And I'll be right there to say I do.
00:27:46He thinks he's already won.
00:27:48But in less than 72 hours,
00:27:50Langford Capital will belong to me.
00:27:54Your company going under wasn't the only bombshell I discovered.
00:27:57A little birdie told me that $100 million went missing from Apex Group's cash reserves.
00:28:03So you're a liar and a thief!
00:28:05And after I spilled the beans of Chris's bankruptcy,
00:28:09I got another tip.
00:28:10Apparently, Apex Group's Fortune 500 cover boy
00:28:14supposedly rewired a massive loan from a Swiss bank to an offshore account.
00:28:19Oh, Chris, have you no shame?
00:28:23That explains the miracle medicine and the military toys outside this house.
00:28:27It matches.
00:28:28All of it.
00:28:29Case closed.
00:28:30I knew it!
00:28:32You're not only worthless, but you are a criminal!
00:28:34Did you hear that?
00:28:35If I deliver you, a deadbeat fraud, to the authorities,
00:28:39I get a major reward.
00:28:40And could you imagine the headlines?
00:28:42And I would earn good favor with the president.
00:28:45His whole campaign was run on bringing down corporate corruption.
00:28:48I'd probably get invited to the White House.
00:28:50Derek, you're the fraud.
00:28:51Not me.
00:28:55Lock the doors.
00:28:57We need to make sure he doesn't make a run for it.
00:29:04Lock the doors.
00:29:06We need to make sure he doesn't make a run for it.
00:29:08He's still my husband.
00:29:09He's family.
00:29:10Family?
00:29:11If Chris gets arrested, it drags us all down.
00:29:15You want a hundred million dollar debt tied to our family name?
00:29:17Who do you think the government's going to come after when Chris can't pay up?
00:29:21Oh, my God.
00:29:22You're right, honey.
00:29:27Sophia, honey, listen to me.
00:29:30I don't owe anything.
00:29:35He's lying.
00:29:37Is he?
00:29:38Or have you been deceiving me all along?
00:29:45Exactly.
00:29:46You know, from what I can tell, it's Chris telling the lies.
00:29:49You steal a hundred million dollars to come to the house of an innocent family and you're
00:29:52flaunted?
00:29:53That is disgusting.
00:29:54You're a sick man.
00:29:55There is one way out.
00:29:57Annulment.
00:29:57Immediately.
00:29:59As long as Sophia cuts off these ties, as long as the Donovan family draws clear lines,
00:30:04his debt dies with him.
00:30:07Sophia, I can still give you the future you deserve.
00:30:10With me.
00:30:17Yes!
00:30:18Divorce him!
00:30:19And then you can marry Derek.
00:30:22I mean, look at him.
00:30:23He has real power and real money.
00:30:26And then this family can rise instead of crashing with Chris.
00:30:32Why are you just standing around?
00:30:34Go on.
00:30:35Annul the marriage and ended with this fraud.
00:30:38Mom, he just lost his way for a moment.
00:30:41Why are you still shielding him?
00:30:44I don't mind if the two of you want to sink, but you will not drown the Donovan family with
00:30:50you!
00:30:50He may be going through a rough patch, but he's been good to me.
00:30:56I'll leave with him.
00:31:00We won't be your burden.
00:31:03Sophia, I will always protect you.
00:31:07I'll always make you happy, even if it's the last thing I do.
00:31:15Eric, please.
00:31:17Don't ruin it.
00:31:19You're still defending him?
00:31:20This cockroach of a man?
00:31:23For the sake of our pause, I'm begging you.
00:31:25Have mercy.
00:31:27Absolutely not.
00:31:28If he runs, the fallout comes back on us.
00:31:31Sophia, you are going to send me to an early grave.
00:31:36Here's what's going to happen.
00:31:39My security detail is waiting just outside for me.
00:31:42They come in.
00:31:43They haul Chris's ass down to Langford Capital.
00:31:45And while he's sitting in the basement storage room, we'll have Sophia sign the annulment papers.
00:31:51Brilliant.
00:31:52You can teach this pawn scum a lesson.
00:31:55That's him.
00:31:55Taken.
00:31:56I dare you.
00:31:58Put one finger on me and you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
00:32:02Big talk coming from a broken con man.
00:32:04I'll have you dragged out of here in cuffs and the Donovan family will thank me.
00:32:09You're going to play this game?
00:32:11Go on, Derek.
00:32:12Make your move.
00:32:14Detain him now.
00:32:17Oh, shit.
00:32:18Oh, my gosh.
00:32:20Oh, he's standing there.
00:32:21He's standing there.
00:32:23Oh, yeah.
00:32:27Don't worry.
00:32:28Once they're through with him, you'll thank me for saving you.
00:32:33Sophia, remember, I did this for you.
00:32:37For us.
00:32:40Take him.
00:32:41Yeah.
00:32:42Yeah.
00:32:42Don't.
00:32:43Don't.
00:32:43Don't.
00:32:44Don't.
00:32:55Don't.
00:32:55Anyone wants answers.
00:32:57You don't believe the rumors?
00:32:58Leaks can be planted.
00:32:59I don't lie for a second that apex is broke.
00:33:02So this is a fact-finding mission.
00:33:04If the headlines are true, then we cut and run, but if not, this family may be sitting on
00:33:09a gold mine and not even realize it oh my god oh my god i just saw a woman outside

00:36:52not all i would do if i could i would skin him alive i would break every bone in his
00:36:58body and then
00:36:59i would suck his blood dry

00:41:43Kidnapping? Extortion? Attempted murder?
00:41:48He's a fraud! And a liar! He's a two-bit Bernie Madoff hack!
00:41:54Whatever rumors you've heard about Apex Group, the story isn't adding up.
00:41:58Who the fuck are you?
00:42:01Marina Barron.
00:42:04Barron Holdings.
00:42:06Oh, shit. She's about to destroy my whole plan.
00:42:14Listen, Marina, I really appreciate what you're trying to do here, but he's right. I'm a fraud.
00:42:26I have multiple contacts, credible sources inside.
00:42:31They're wrong.
00:42:32Trust me. I'm toxic. You don't want anything to do with me.
00:42:39I must have been wrong about him.
00:42:42We should sit down and talk. I like the way you operate.
00:42:49We'll never see that Chris guy again.
00:42:51Me too. I don't think we will. I think we really scared him off last time.
00:42:55Oh, my God. Look what the cab's ragged in.
00:42:58Chris.
00:43:04You thought you'd get rid of me, huh?
00:43:08Well, I'm not dead yet.
00:43:12Oh, stay right there.
00:43:16Unbelievable.
00:43:18He just crawls right back into our home like a stray.
00:43:21Somebody should call animal control.
00:43:23No need. We can evict him ourselves.
00:43:27Tonight, we're good.
00:43:32Sophia.
00:43:36Look at me.
00:43:39No looks.
00:43:40You are not a husband.
00:43:42You are not a son-in-law.
00:43:44And you are not part of this family anymore.
00:43:47Tom?
00:43:49Show him the door.
00:43:50Oh, absolutely.
00:43:51Oh, but don't let him step on the lawn because the gardener just planted my favorite flowers,
00:43:54and if he steps on them, he'll just be so obsessed.
00:43:57Of course I may.
00:43:57All right.
00:43:58I know where the door is, Tom.
00:44:02Are you coming with me?
00:44:08Don't you dare.
00:44:11Do you want to kill your father with the stress?
00:44:18Do you want that on your conscience?
00:44:27Chris, I'm sorry.
00:44:39You're going to regret this.
00:44:43All of you.
00:44:44For every word.
00:44:46Every choice that you made today.
00:44:50Sure, whatever.
00:44:52Just put it in a greeting card.
00:44:53There's the door, Jim.
00:44:58I'm not giving up on this.
00:45:04Oh!
00:45:06Good riddance.
00:45:08Hey.
00:45:09Yeah?
00:45:09Someone's going to need to change the locks.
00:45:13Okay, yes.
00:45:16You're welcome. I love you.
00:45:24Vic.
00:45:25It's me.
00:45:27Do it.
00:45:28All of them.
00:45:30I want each one of them begging for mercy.
00:45:32Okay.
00:45:34I've got that new cheese.
00:45:36That's a cute one of Max.
00:45:38Oh, oh.
00:45:40Hello?
00:45:42Oh.
00:45:43Yeah.
00:45:45Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:45:47But I've...
00:45:48What do you mean effective immediately?
00:45:49I've headed that committee for three years.
00:45:51No, no, no.
00:45:52There has to be some mistake.
00:45:53I just closed the Fulton account.
00:45:55No, no, no, no.
00:45:55Wait, you can't...
00:45:56Revoke!
00:45:56No, I...
00:45:57Wait, wait, wait.
00:45:57You can't just restructure me out.
00:45:59I signed the promotion paperwork.
00:46:02Hello?
00:46:02Hello?
00:46:07Oh my god.
00:46:08I was just fired.
00:46:10Me too.
00:46:12And they're rolling back my bonus reviewing irregularities.
00:46:17What just happened?
00:46:20It's Chris.
00:46:22The man is so toxic, he's taking us all down with him.
00:46:26Our brother-in-law's company is publicly outed as bankrupt and riddled with fraud and then both of our careers
00:46:33just go up in smoke?
00:46:34That is not a coincidence.
00:46:37Wait a minute.
00:46:37So he shits the bed.
00:46:40And you two are collateral damage?
00:46:42Yes!
00:46:43You see?
00:46:44This is why I say sever ties.
00:46:47You don't know that Chris was the cause of this.
00:46:50Don't be naive.
00:46:52He makes enemies wherever he goes.
00:46:54And we are expected to foot the bill.
00:46:57We're not eating this.
00:46:58Not after everything.
00:47:00The city still owes on a demolition payout.
00:47:04Chris's childhood home is in the redevelopment zone.
00:47:07He is still owed a check for them tearing it down.
00:47:11So?
00:47:12We collect it as compensation for everything he put us through.
00:47:15You can't just take it.
00:47:17Watch us.
00:47:17We will file a claim through the executive or whatever place, okay?
00:47:22By the time Chris figures out the money's gone, it's too late. It's ours.
00:47:26Yeah.
00:47:27We don't need to suffer for his incompetence.
00:47:30He will pay it out.
00:47:32Do it.
00:47:32Make him pay back every dollar he owes his family.
00:47:36That house is the only memory he has left of his parents.
00:47:41Well, he should have thought about that before he tanked his business and poisoned our names.
00:47:46I'll get the paperwork going.
00:47:48The county records office opens in the morning.
00:47:50Oh my God.
00:47:50You're so smart, babe.
00:47:51You're saving the day.
00:47:54You see?
00:47:56We take care of her.
00:47:58Got it.
00:47:59Any bucks with the Donovitz!
00:48:08To anyone else, this is a rundown old house.
00:48:11But for me, it's home.
00:48:18Boss said you're the last holdout.
00:48:20Just sign the property over and no one gets hurt.
00:48:22This house is the last thing left of my parents.
00:48:24You want it?
00:48:26We're gonna have to tear it down with me in it.
00:48:33Oh, I knew Chris would be here.
00:48:37Get him to agree.
00:48:38And that demolition payment is ours!
00:48:41It's his house.
00:48:42And our survival.
00:48:44Don't you see it?
00:48:45His mess has already cost us money, jobs, status.
00:48:50You'll get him to sign it over because you're a Donovan first.
00:49:07Sophia.
00:49:10Hi!
00:49:15Go on.
00:49:17Isn't there something you want to say to him?
00:49:22Chris, I...
00:49:24I know how important this must be.
00:49:25Oh, just spit it out already!
00:49:29Please.
00:49:31Don't ask me to do this.
00:49:32Don't listen to him.
00:49:34He will just drag us down until we have nothing left.
00:49:37Go on!
00:49:38Talk some sense into him.
00:49:40He is going to bury us with him, Sophia!
00:49:42And what about Dad?
00:49:44Huh?
00:49:45He's gonna kill him faster than the heart disease ever would.
00:49:55Carissa.
00:49:56I'm sorry.
00:50:00It's just a lot of money.
00:50:02Okay, that's enough talking.
00:50:04Excuse me?
00:50:06Excuse us.
00:50:07I need more stuff.
00:50:08Oh, I hate these stairs.
00:50:09They're the first to go, I think.
00:50:18Hmm.
00:50:20Ugly.
00:50:21Hideous.
00:50:23Horrible.
00:50:24Oh!
00:50:25Well, this has to be a knock-off.
00:50:28Chris's parents could never afford the real thing.
00:50:32Bag it, babe.
00:50:33Yes, ma'am.
00:50:35Oh-ho!
00:50:37What is in here, huh?
00:50:40Pretty pricey for someone who can't even afford lunch meat, huh?
00:50:43Those belong to my grandmother.
00:50:44Oh, well.
00:50:46Then she should have taken them to the grave with her.
00:50:50These deadbeats sure know how to keep up appearances.
00:50:53Wow.
00:50:53Oh, wow!
00:50:54This is fancy.
00:50:56Tom, off the wall, in the bag now.
00:50:58Yep.
00:50:58Now, let me ask you, Chris.
00:51:00Were your mom and dad kleptomaniacs?
00:51:04Oh.
00:51:06Yes.
00:51:07Somebody was very busy in kindergarten art class.
00:51:11My mother made that, okay?
00:51:12That's the last thing I have of hers.
00:51:14Oh, ho, ho.
00:51:15Well.
00:51:16Mom certainly wasn't Michelangelo.
00:51:19Whoa!
00:51:21Oh!
00:51:25Oh!
00:51:27Oh!
00:51:28Oh!
00:51:30That...
00:51:31was...
00:51:32priceless.
00:51:34Hmm.
00:51:34Well, uh...
00:51:36not anymore.
00:51:38Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:51:39Chris!
00:51:41I'm sorry.
00:51:46I'm working.
00:51:47Oh, you had a weapon.
00:51:48It's demolition time!
00:51:49Oh!
00:51:49Oh!
00:51:50Oh!
00:51:50Wonderful!
00:51:54Oh, I hope you took pictures, Chris.
00:51:57Is this dump right here or is about to be a pile of rubble?
00:51:59Let's go, boys!
00:52:04Oh!
00:52:05Whoah!
00:52:05Whoah!
00:52:07Whoah!
00:52:08Whoah!
00:52:09Whoah!
00:52:10Whoah!
00:52:11Whoah!
00:52:12Whoah!
00:52:12Whoah!
00:52:13All right, great.
00:52:14You got a big bulldozer.
00:52:15But this house does not move.
00:52:17Not one brick.
00:52:18Move aside, Mel.
00:52:19Unless you want to get flattened out like a fucking pancake.
00:52:24Then you're going to have to take me out.
00:52:27This house goes down.
00:52:29It's landed on top of me.
00:52:31Pathetic.
00:52:32He's going to martyr himself over a shithole.
00:52:34Well, at least that saves us the paperwork.
00:53:01What the fuck is it?
00:53:08If that bulldozer moves another inch,
00:53:10I will bury your little demolition racket in federal court.
00:53:14Kickbacks, forged bids.
00:53:17Half of your payroll are ghosts.
00:53:19You don't think I see every wire transfer?
00:53:25This isn't over.
00:53:26Yes, it is.
00:53:27Walk.
00:53:32How sad.
00:53:35Yet another woman swooping in to rescue you.
00:53:41Come on, we're done here.
00:53:46I didn't want it to be like this.
00:53:47It doesn't have to be.
00:53:49If you just stay with me.
00:53:51Oh.
00:53:52What?
00:53:52So you can have another mistress?
00:53:55Look, I can explain all of this.
00:53:57Just...
00:53:59Not yet.
00:54:00Oh, Mystery Man has some secret timetable, hmm?
00:54:03Hmm, maybe he's under an NDA.
00:54:06Let me translate for you, my dear.
00:54:08A man who has to explain is a man who is alive.
00:54:13You can do better than that.
00:54:15Okay.
00:54:16You want to know the truth?
00:54:21The truth is, Victoria is not my mistress.
00:54:25She works for me.
00:54:26She's Apex Group's fixer.
00:54:28And I'm the Queen of Monaco.
00:54:30She has no power.
00:54:32Your company is a laughing stock.
00:54:34It is a disgrace.
00:54:35Not only are you delusional, but you also think they were a bunch of fools.
00:54:39Do you see the sickness in this?
00:54:41He has created this whole fantasy where he's still rich and his assistant is some kind of, uh, Tony Soprano.
00:54:50If that's true, why did you keep it from me?
00:54:54Why keep her a secret?
00:54:56Because she works in the shadows.
00:54:59And I, I, I couldn't...
00:55:02Oh, there it is.
00:55:04The sentence ends before the truth begins.
00:55:07So what?
00:55:08We're supposed to hang our livelihoods off of them?
00:55:11Just, just trust me, babe?
00:55:12He wants you to think it's a business relationship, but it's a cover for a sham, for an affair, for
00:55:20a bunch of lies that he thinks you are too stupid to see for.
00:55:25I can't breathe.
00:55:26Don't, just don't.
00:55:37I want to send you a moment.
00:55:41Well, compensation first.
00:55:43Let's do the calculations.
00:55:44Um, let's see.
00:55:46Reputational harm, employees lost, and, um, distress.
00:55:50Oh, I was also very distressed.
00:55:52And you know what sounds good to me?
00:55:54Round numbers.
00:55:56You know, I think eight figures keeps it mean, but multiple aids keeps it fair.
00:56:01You owe us for what you cost us.
00:56:05Fuck off.
00:56:06Well, not till we get what we want.
00:56:08I tell you what, why don't you send us a cool 50 mil from one of those offshore accounts that
00:56:13we heard you have.
00:56:15Oh.
00:56:17You called the police.
00:56:19I did.
00:56:20I reported a few trespassers.
00:56:24We're not trespassing.
00:56:25This is my son-in-law's home, and we are reclaiming what is ours.
00:56:30Officer, I'd like to report an active burglary.
00:56:32No, no, no.
00:56:33You, you cannot arrest us.
00:56:34Sophia is still married to Chris, so his assets are community property.
00:56:39Sir, is this your residence?
00:56:43No.
00:56:44I belong to my parents.
00:56:46Well then, consider it payback for the affair you've been having.
00:56:50It's obvious.
00:56:51These two are sleeping together.
00:56:52Just look at them.
00:56:53Call me mistress one more time and triple your problems.
00:56:57Trespassing, burglary, slander.
00:56:58Okay, well, she didn't mean to.
00:57:00Too late.
00:57:01I'll be like orange.
00:57:02It'll be the only color in your closet for the next three to five years.
00:57:06Go ahead and arrest us.
00:57:08Parade us on the evening news and drag your boss through public humiliation and just see how the world reacts
00:57:15to this so-called affair you're having.
00:57:17I don't bluff.
00:57:18Wait, wait, wait.
00:57:21Please, don't press charges.
00:57:23It's my mom, my dad, my sister.
00:57:28If you spare them, I'll let Chris go.
00:57:32If you want him, you can have him.
00:57:34Just don't destroy my family.
00:57:36Sophia.
00:57:37I have never wanted him like that.
00:57:39I respect him.
00:57:40I'm his fixer, not his mistress.
00:57:42That's all.
00:57:43At least escort them off the premises.
00:57:46No, no need.
00:57:48A Donovan doesn't overstay their welcome.
00:57:59Hey, Sophie.
00:58:00Come on.
00:58:01Listen.
00:58:03I can make it up to you, okay?
00:58:05Promise.
00:58:07I might have to start small, but I don't know.
00:58:10In the car that you were talking about, I'll get it for you tomorrow.
00:58:14Chris, you can't afford it.
00:58:17Why do you keep trying to do this?
00:58:21It's not the reason why I married you.
00:58:27I promise you, I'm going to make this right.
00:58:31Trust me.
00:58:44It's beautiful.
00:58:46It certainly is.
00:58:48It's yours.
00:58:50If you want it.
00:58:52If you can't afford it, sweetie, maybe don't touch.
00:58:56Lil, look at what the cat dragged in.
00:58:59Chris Bell.
00:59:00Professional failure.
00:59:02And the girl dumb enough to still believe in him.
00:59:04Hi, Lauren.
00:59:05What are you doing here?
00:59:07This car starts at 100k.
00:59:10This isn't a selfie museum.
00:59:12We were just looking.
00:59:14At what?
00:59:15Your reflections?
00:59:16You can't afford the merchandise.
00:59:18Babes, remember what I said.
00:59:20The poor come to luxury rooms like tourists at the zoo.
00:59:24They gawk and stare and then they leave.
00:59:29What color would you like?
00:59:34The pearl.
00:59:35I've always liked white.
00:59:37Still playing billionaire.
00:59:39I saw the headlines.
00:59:41Apex, bankrupt, fraudulent, blah, blah.
00:59:43You went from visionary to visionary.
00:59:47Tell you what.
00:59:48If you're real nice, we'll let you sit in the backseat so you can smell the upholstery.
00:59:55We need two.
00:59:57White and black.
00:59:59With the fastest trim on both.
01:00:01Oh, baby.
01:00:02Look at that.
01:00:03Performance theater.
01:00:04Start the paperwork.
01:00:06Use crayons.
01:00:08Here's my card.
01:00:10Chris.
01:00:11That's fine.
01:00:14This is going to be fun.
01:00:21Oof.
01:00:23Hear that, babes?
01:00:24That's the sound of desperation.
01:00:26It's so sad.
01:00:28Maybe it's a system issue.
01:00:33The system works fine for people with money.
01:00:36Okay.
01:00:37Just run a manual authorization.
01:00:40It says there's insufficient funds.
01:00:45Breaking news.
01:00:47The Apex Group Emperor has no clothes and no credit, apparently.
01:00:52Honey, there are plenty of great used lots in the Valley.
01:00:57And they have free coffee, too.
01:00:58Just call your supervisor.
01:01:00Enable the corporate rails.
01:01:02Corporate rails?
01:01:03Someone learned a new phrase on TikTok.
01:01:06Cute shade.
01:01:08Is this a Black Diamond or the Party City Edition?
01:01:12I don't know.
01:01:14Thanks.
01:01:16Where'd you get those?
01:01:18Out of a claw machine at Chuck E. Cheese?
01:01:20Counterfeits of crime is slick.
01:01:23Call your manager.
01:01:24Now.
01:01:25And you two?
01:01:27You should be very scared.
01:01:29Not of me, but of your boss when he finds out who you've been insulting.
01:01:33We run this floor.
01:01:35Keep talking.
01:01:36Maybe we'll get you a complimentary keychain on the way out.
01:01:38Chris, are those real?
01:01:41They certainly are.
01:01:42What's the problem here?
01:01:44Mr. Stone.
01:01:46Perfect timing.
01:01:47This broke customer is trying to buy a vehicle with a dead stack of plastic.
01:01:53And those are those.
01:01:54Those would be mine.
01:01:56It looks like your terminal is refusing corporate authorization.
01:02:02Terminal 2.
01:02:04Enable Bank Direct.
01:02:08Wait a minute, this isn't just Black Diamond.
01:02:11This is...
01:02:13Supreme Tier.
01:02:15Only a few exist.
01:02:17Run it.
01:02:19Now!
01:02:26Pen?
01:02:27Sir?
01:02:29Of course.
01:02:38My apologies, Mr.
01:02:40Bell.
01:02:42Mr. Bell.
01:02:43Welcome.
01:02:45I do apologize that you weren't recognized sooner.
01:02:48And on behalf of my salespeople, who are complete incompetent...
01:02:52It must be a mistake.
01:02:54No, it's no mistake.
01:02:55I want both of you off my floor.
01:02:56Let's head to the detail bay.
01:02:58I've got a couple of cars that need to wash.
01:03:00You were just trying to protect the dealership.
01:03:03By insulting a VIP.
01:03:05And his lovely wife.
01:03:08Mrs. Bell, I sincerely apologize.
01:03:11In this showroom, we take pride in excellence and discretion.
01:03:15We failed you both today.
01:03:18Mr. Stone, please.
01:03:20This man is not a VIP.
01:03:21He's a bankrupt loser.
01:03:22If I'm going to take back what I said, you're both fired.
01:03:26You can't do that.
01:03:28I'm your top salesperson.
01:03:29Correction.
01:03:30You were.
01:03:30I'm just a liability.
01:03:32This is crazy.
01:03:33So it is approved once.
01:03:35I mean, it's a glitch.
01:04:00This is a glitch.
01:04:02Mr. Stone, we were only trying to do our job.
01:04:05He's a con man.
01:04:06Haven't you seen the headlines?
01:04:07Maybe you shouldn't listen to everything you read on the internet.
01:04:11Sophia, we were high school classmates.
01:04:14Please, say something.
01:04:16You were awful to me back then, too.
01:04:19You always will just be the same.
01:04:23You think standing next to him makes you a somebody?
01:04:26All it makes you is the plus one to a worthless nobody.
01:04:30When the money dries up, and it will,
01:04:33you'll be the one hoarding food stamps while he's hiding from the debt collector.
01:04:37I've heard enough.
01:04:39Security, let's hoard these two.
01:04:42You can play rich all you want,
01:04:44but we know exactly what you are.
01:04:46Nothing!
01:04:50Get him out of here.
01:04:57Chris, how can you afford all these cars?
01:05:02Oh, the rumors about my company's death may be premature.
01:05:08Look, I can't explain it.
01:05:10Just not yet.
01:05:15I need you to trust me.
01:05:18Just a little while longer, okay?
01:05:21I won't let you die.
01:05:30Hey, Vic.
01:05:32Yeah?
01:05:34Oh, I'm ready.
01:05:36It's time to finish what we started.
01:05:40Langford Capital's hosting a shareholder meeting tomorrow at 3 p.m.
01:05:45I'm going to be making a surprise keynote.
01:05:48What are you up to?
01:05:51Let's bring the whole family.
01:05:53Hey, make sure you sit in the front row.
01:06:02Security's in its place.
01:06:04The press is in the pen.
01:06:05The exit route is the service corridor
01:06:06in case anyone in the room gets feral.
01:06:08They won't.
01:06:09Prepare for the worst-case scenario.
01:06:12And after?
01:06:13After you can breathe.
01:06:15Maybe apologize to the one person who deserves it.
01:06:27Even if she never forgives me, the truth is simple.
01:06:31I did this for us.
01:06:47Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
01:06:49Thank you for coming.
01:06:51Before we begin today, I'd like to make an announcement.
01:06:53Today, Langford Capital has protected its future by joining forces with Barron Holdings.
01:07:04Hey, wait up.
01:07:06Hey!
01:07:07I was serious back there, alright?
01:07:09With Apex Group crashing and burning, the future could be ours.
01:07:13Merge with Langford Capital.
01:07:15We could bury our competition.
01:07:19We'd be unstoppable.
01:07:25You see, my dear?
01:07:27Well, Derek is building an empire.
01:07:31Your husband is circling the drain.
01:07:34You chose wrong, darling.
01:07:36Looking forward to today's agenda.
01:07:38The first thing we will do is be looking at last quarter's financial results.
01:07:43This is going to...
01:07:58Isn't that Chris Bell?
01:08:01I heard he was homeless and bankrupt.
01:08:04Oh, God.
01:08:05He's about to humiliate himself again.
01:08:08Maybe they'll catch it on camera.
01:08:10Chris Bell.
01:08:11Crashing my party.
01:08:13Bold move.
01:08:14Pointless.
01:08:16But bold.
01:08:17You don't belong in this room.
01:08:20You said it yourself.
01:08:21You're toxic.
01:08:23Correction.
01:08:24I own this room.
01:08:25And it's not the only thing that I own.
01:08:29What are you babbling on about?
01:08:31I own Barron Holdings, too.
01:08:35That's insane.
01:08:37Impossible.
01:08:38Not possible.
01:08:40Calculated.
01:08:41You see, what Derek was busy gloating about my supposed bankruptcy.
01:08:46Apex Global quietly built a shadow position in Barron Holdings.
01:08:51So by the time he poured the champagne and whispered sweet mergers in Marina's ear,
01:08:56I already owned her board.
01:08:58So, when Langford merged with Barron just this morning, guess who's controlling vote dictated the terms.
01:09:10Derek, that merger that you bragged about, it wasn't your crowning move.
01:09:20It wasn't your crowning move.
01:09:22It was my end game.
01:09:24Barron swallowed Langford whole.
01:09:26And since I own Barron, that makes me majority shareholder in both.
01:09:30Which means, Derek, I'm not crashing your meeting.
01:09:36I'm running it.
01:09:38That can't be true.
01:09:40We saw the bankruptcy filings.
01:09:42He is bluffing.
01:09:43He has to be bluffing.
01:09:45It's pathological.
01:09:46He's such a liar.
01:09:47You're finished.
01:09:49Effective.
01:09:50Immediately.
01:09:51You can't do that.
01:09:52I just did.
01:09:54And Marina, that cushy seat next to him, well that's gone too.
01:09:59Fortunately, you aligned yourself with the wrong savior.
01:10:02Now, you both report to me.
01:10:05In fact, let's make it official.
01:10:07Derek Langford and Marina Barron, you both are dictated.
01:10:15I own the board.
01:10:16I own the vote.
01:10:19And now, I own you.
01:10:45I'm sure you all are wondering why.
01:10:49I let the world think I was finished.
01:10:51Why I let everyone write my obituary.
01:10:54Why I just sat by quietly.
01:10:58Because when the predators start to circle, you don't raise a red flag.
01:11:04Play dead.
01:11:06You let them think that they've already won.
01:11:10But I made the first move.
01:11:13Because if I didn't, they certainly would have.
01:11:16They weren't just eyeing a marriage between Langford and Barron.
01:11:21They were coming for Apex, too.
01:11:24Every seat.
01:11:25Every share.
01:11:26And when the dust settled, they would have left us with absolutely nullity.
01:11:32While you're making confessions to your wife, you might as well tell her everything.
01:11:37Including our affair.
01:11:41You hear that, Soph?
01:11:43Your knight in shining armor is actually just another cheating bastard.
01:11:46So what, huh?
01:11:47You're torching our family and then humiliating our sister?
01:11:51Look, I already told you.
01:11:54This guy's foisoned.
01:11:56Tell me it's not true.
01:11:59You already know the answer to that.
01:12:02Of course it's not.
01:12:04She's desperate.
01:12:06Don't torture yourself, sweetheart.
01:12:09Remember the documents you signed before the wedding?
01:12:12I am sure they are an Iron Klan prenup.
01:12:15Now, I bet every dollar that he shielded his stake with Apex Global, so you'll be left with nothing either
01:12:22way.
01:12:22You know, it's funny that you bring up those documents.
01:12:31Go on.
01:12:33Read it.
01:12:35Out loud.
01:12:40This isn't a prenup.
01:12:41Of course it is.
01:12:42Don't be blind.
01:12:43You're not a lawyer, Sophia.
01:12:45I'm sure he tricked you into giving away everything.
01:12:49It's a transfer of controlling interest.
01:12:53Chris, name the majority shareholder of Apex Global.
01:12:57Before the wedding.
01:12:58No.
01:13:00No.
01:13:01No, no, no, no.
01:13:03No.
01:13:04She's worth $80 billion, which makes her the richest person in this room.
01:13:09Oh, my God.
01:13:14Sophia, sweetheart.
01:13:16We were wrong.
01:13:18We just didn't understand.
01:13:20Look, we're idiots.
01:13:21Oh, yeah, you know that we love you and everything that we did.
01:13:25I mean, it's too good, maybe, but it's a family.
01:13:28Sophia, please.
01:13:31Now, listen.
01:13:32We are on our knees.
01:13:33Please.
01:13:35You're only looking out for your best in your life.
01:13:37Sweetheart.
01:13:38Sweetheart.
01:13:40After everything we did for you, you owe us.
01:13:45We are your flesh and blood.
01:13:48And we need your help.
01:13:51We don't need much, just a billion or two.
01:13:58After everything, I finally see the truth.
01:14:02Chris believed in me when no one else did.
01:14:11And I choose him.
01:14:15Soph, I'm sorry I had to hide this from you.
01:14:18But trust me when I say I did this for us.
01:14:23Because truthfully, the only merger that ever really mattered was you and me, Soph.
01:14:31I love you.
