My Poor Husband Is The Real Boss
Transcript
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.
00:01:26And when the dust settles are gone.
00:01:28He'll lose everything.
00:01:28It's a good laugh.
00:01:32It's a good laugh.
00:01:33So weird.
00:01:33Oh my God.
00:01:43Oh my God.
00:01:44Oh my God.
00:01:45Oh my God.
00:01:48Oh my God.
00:01:56The man of beans.
00:01:57Billionaire 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.
00:02:19To 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.
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, try bankrupt loser.
00:02:55Whoa.
00:02:57That's right. Apex Group is ruined.
00:03:02Sophia, you're about to marry a penniless con man.
00:03:08And I have the proof.
00:03:15It 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.
00:03:26By order of the court.
00:03:28Oh, my God.
00:03:28Oh, my God.
00:03:28Oh, my God.
00:03:29Oh, my God.
00:03:30Move.
00:03:30You fraud.
00:03:34And property of the bank.
00:03:39Oh, my God.
00:03:52Hey, stop.
00:03:53That cake costs more than your salary.
00:03:56What did you do?
00:04:07Oh, my God.
00:04:10Hey, go to bed.
00:04:10Oh, my God.
00:04:13Oh, my God.
00:04:24Oh, my God.
00:04:25Is 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.
00:04:57I 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. You deserve better.
00:05:04You deserve someone who can actually take care of you.
00:05:06Not now, Derek. I just got married.
00:05:10Just think about it. You 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. If she stays with you on your penniless, you'll know she truly loves you.
00:05:41She's not a test, Victoria. She's my wife. Full 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. Not until the takeover is complete. And our future is secure.
00:06:16You have some nerve walking in here.
00:06:19This is Sophia's home. She's my wife.
00:06:23Wife, you tricked her. You tricked all of us.
00:06:27You brought gifts. Like, 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. Not rich. More like bankrupt.
00:06:37You think money is the most important thing, but it's not.
00:06:40Chris is a good person. He'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. I thought it would be good for your collection.
00:07:01Books? He 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. It's the same value.
00:07:12Not even French. California. This is bottom shelf swill.
00:07:20You know, I got that from a small vineyard. I thought you would appreciate the backstory.
00:07:26The backstory? We love stories. Like fairy tales.
00:07:30You mean like the fairy tale where you're a billionaire?
00:07:33Oh, I love that one. That's a good one.
00:07:37You're so funny.
00:07:46Burns well. Look at that.
00:07:58Thank you, General.
00:08:07Hey, she's just trying to help.
00:08:10Nice. Let's look...
00:08:12That seat is for family.
00:08:15What? He can sit at the end if he's so desperate to eat.
00:08:20I hope you don't mind scraps, champ. That's usually all that's left over when it gets to the end of
00:08:24the table.
00:08:24Especially after you.
00:08:25That's not my birthday.
00:08:30Sophia.
00:08:32You know, you could still get an annulment...
00:08:36...tonight.
00:08:37Oh!
00:08:38My dear, that is a brilliant idea.
00:08:40You know, I still have Judge Wagner on speed dial. I'll just give him a call. I bet he would
00:08:44be here in about ten minutes.
00:08:45Mom, please.
00:08:46What?
00:08:47Just put your phone in bed.
00:08:49Fine.
00:08:50But I don't see the point in waiting.
00:08:53Okay, everyone. To my beautiful Sophia. You deserve the world.
00:08:59But instead, you've got a pathetic drifter.
00:09:10Smells good. Is this...
00:09:12Cal?
00:09:13Hey, Hanson. Bottoms up.
00:09:19Bottoms up.
00:09:28I guess I should've gone with the white.
00:09:31Butterfingers.
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. It's a parasite.
00:09:51Don't talk about my husband like that. He doesn't even have the guts to defend himself.
00:10:02Just eat. Please.
00:10:12What do you think you're doing?
00:10:19Sophia hasn't eaten much, so I thought I would...
00:10:21Oh, the pauper is trying to play the provider now.
00:10:26Maybe your wife just lost her appetite because she married a stone bro shithel.
00:10:31Don't strain yourself, Chris.
00:10:33You might pull a muscle trying to lift this chunk of protein.
00:10:37You know, Chris, the good food is for people that contribute, not you, princess.
00:10:47Okay.
00:10:51Bon appetit.
00:10:57You sit under this room, 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 Sophia 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.
00:11:40So go ahead, kid. Eat up.
00:11:43Woof, woof.
00:12:10That's a good boy.
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. I mean, he doesn't even fight back. Not 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,
00:12:39let alone put a roof over her head.
00:12:41Well, what do we have here, huh?
00:12:44The happy bride and her poor little groom.
00:12:47Derek, what a surprise.
00:12:48Well, you certainly have a hop in your step.
00:12:51Indeed I do.
00:12:53Lankford 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? That's incredible.
00:13:04But we're just getting started.
00:13:06By next spring, Lankford Capital will be the biggest and the best private equity fund in the country.
00:13:12Especially with Apex Groups circling the drain. Isn't that right, Chris?
00:13:20Imagine if Sophia married Derek.
00:13:23I think about that. Every single day.
00:13:26Mom, you were thrilled when I married Chris this morning.
00:13:28Yes, I was. But secretly, I was hoping you'd end up with Derek.
00:13:34I'll tell you what. Family sticks together.
00:13:36Tom, we're hiring brilliant minds over at Lankford 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. He protects. He provides.
00:13:54And he doesn't lie to you.
00:13:57Sylvia, it's not too late.
00:14:01You can still fix it.
00:14:04Just annul the marriage.
00:14:07And walk away.
00:14:09I already told you.
00:14:11I don't wanna hear it!
00:14:13Could you?
00:14:15Well, sign this paper and annul this marriage.
00:14:21Mom, please, sign 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 annul this marriage now!
00:14:45Jack!
00:14:46Oh 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, so for the past six months I've been working with
00:15:06specialists at Apex to try to find a cure.
00:15:08Oh, right, because Apex is some kind of, like, magic shop now. What's next, Chris? You're gonna try to sell
00:15:13us unicorn tears in a jar?
00:15:15Laugh all you want, but this could be the only thing that can actually cure him.
00:15:18This isn't some medical breakthrough. This is all about your ego. Because you cannot stand the fact that we all
00:15:25know that you are useless, so you just make up fantasies.
00:15:30I mean, what is next, Chris? You're gonna sprinkle fairiness on my father and tell us that he's healed?
00:15:35What, are you just gonna bring him over to the garage and hook him up to jumper cables?
00:15:38You're a fraud, and you always have been. If you lay a finger on him, you'll kill him faster than
00:15:42the disease itself.
00:15:46I've also been sending messages to someone who actually knows what they're doing. Dean Hargrove, Chief of Medicine over at
00:15:53Crestview Hospital.
00:15:54A real doctor with real credentials.
00:15:56And expensive.
00:15:58But he's worth it, because unlike your made-up magical cure, he's not gonna kill my father.
00:16:04That's what a real son-in-law does. He is generous, and he is serious about families.
00:16:12Unlike this twisted truth, fucker.
00:16:15You think your limp dick husband is gonna compete with that? Please.
00:16:19This isn't a competition. I just want Jack to get better.
00:16:22It's not a competition.
00:16:26Oh, you 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 Punchbowl.
00:16:47Yeah, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner we can all move on.
00:16:53That must be Dr. Hargrove.
00:17:04Dr. Hargrove, chief of medicine at Gresby Medical. Only the best for my Jack and his family.
00:17:12Doctor, thank you so much for coming to our family. We know how precious your time is.
00:17:17But when it comes to family health, nothing is more important.
00:17:19You hear that? Nothing's more important than family.
00:17:23A real doctor. Unlike 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 that you... I'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. Circulation 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? You mean there's...
00:18:01There's nothing medicine can do. I'm sorry.
00:18:04Just cherish the time that you still have with him.
00:18:07And you!
00:18:09Trying to use my father as a guinea pig for your Frankenstein cure was only gonna kill him faster!
00:18:17Dr. Hargrove, help him!
00:18:22He's crashing. We 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.
00:18:56What 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.
00:19:14Jax.
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.
00:19:29Over 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.
00:19:45If 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?
00:20:06Okay, Jack.
00:20:07All right!
00:20:24I'm sorry.
00:20:27Jack.
00:20:38Jeff, I can breathe.
00:20:43His pulse is stronger.
00:20:47Remarkably stronger.
00:20:48It's just blind luck.
00:20:50It'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. Harcrow.
00:21:06It's okay.
00:21:07It is okay.
00:21:09Oh, Max, sweetie.
00:21:12Babe, didn't you say that you had some special surprise in the car for a match?
00:21:17Yes, yes, I did.
00:21:18My favorite little guy.
00:21:20Max, let's go.
00:21:21Come on, buddy.
00:21:23It'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.
00:21:46Wow.
00:21:47Max, I'm looking for 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.
00:22:04I'll make it up to yourself.
00:22:05Promise.
00:22:06Won'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.
00:22:30This is absolutely.
00:22:31Only the best for my boy.
00:22:36Whoa.
00:22:37It's like dangerous.
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.
00:23:03Boogie.
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.
00:23:18Oh, that has to be fake.
00:23:19No 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 of the country.
00:23:29You do expect us to believe
00:23:30that he could afford to bring something like this
00:23:33to our house.
00:23:34It's pretty neat, huh?
00:23:35This is a cool scene.
00:23:37That can happen.
00:23:38What?
00:23:38No, no, 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.
00:23:45It happens all the time.
00:23:46They're probably defective, sweetie.
00:23:48Max.
00:23:49Max.
00:23:49And yet, he parades it on my front lawn
00:23:52in some kind of pathetic attempt
00:23:54to convince us that 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
00:24:04or are you just putting on some sort of BS act?
00:24:09Are you actually bankrupt
00:24:10or 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
00:24:26I 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 flinging it at gadgets.
00:24:56Mom.
00:24:56No, Samia.
00:24:57Look at us.
00:24:58My husband is sick.
00:24:59This house is bleeding us dry.
00:25:03And 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?
00:25:45Oh, you have DARPA on speed dial?
00:25:47Oh, 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.
00:26:03I'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 could forget it ever happened.
00:26:34No.
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.
00:26:55You 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, marriage.
00:27:01Two for one.
00:27:01Enough!
00:27:03God!
00:27:04I 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.
00:27:13There it is.
00:27:15Anger.
00:27:16Typical impotent man's weapon.
00:27:18Violence and empty threats.
00:27:20Don't make it worse.
00:27:22Sophia, are you listening to what they're saying?
00:27:24They're trying to force us to annul our marriage.
00:27:28It's all dark.
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,
00:27:50Lankford 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
00:28:00from 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
00:28:16from a Swiss bank to an offshore accounting.
00:28:19Oh, Chris!
00:28:21Have you no shame?
00:28:22That explains the miracle medicine
00:28:25and 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,
00:28:33but you are a criminal!
00:28:34Did you hear that?
00:28:35If I deliver you,
00:28:36a deadbeat fraud,
00:28:38to 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
00:28:46on 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,
00:29:13it drags us all down.
00:29:15We want a hundred million dollar debt
00:29:16tied to our family name.
00:29:17Who do you think the government's gonna come after
00:29:20when Chris can't pay you?
00:29:21Oh my god!
00:29:22You're right, honey!
00:29:23Oh my god!
00:29:27Oh my god!
00:29:28Honey?
00:29:29Listen 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,
00:29:46from what I can tell,
00:29:47it's Chris telling the lies.
00:29:49You steal a hundred million dollars,
00:29:51you come to the house of an innocent family
00:29:52and you're flaunted?
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,
00:30:01as long as the Donovan family
00:30:02draws clear lines,
00:30:04his debt dies with him.
00:30:06Sophia,
00:30:07I 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
00:30:25and real money.
00:30:27And then this family
00:30:28can rise
00:30:29instead of crashing
00:30:30with Chris.
00:30:32Why are you just standing around?
00:30:34Go on.
00:30:35Annul the marriage
00:30:36and ended with this fraud!
00:30:38Mom,
00:30:39he just lost his way for a moment.
00:30:41Oh, no.
00:30:41Why are you still shielding him?
00:30:44I don't mind if the two of you
00:30:45want to sink,
00:30:46but you will not drown
00:30:48the Donovan family with you.
00:30:50He may be going through a rough path,
00:30:52but he's been good to me.
00:30:56I'll leave with him.
00:30:58I'll leave with him.
00:31:00We won't be your burden.
00:31:03Sophia,
00:31:04I will always protect you.
00:31:07I'll always make you happy,
00:31:08even if it's the last thing I do.
00:31:15Eric, please.
00:31:17Don't ruin him.
00:31:19You're still defending him?
00:31:20This cockroach of a man?
00:31:23For the sake of our past,
00:31:24I'm begging you.
00:31:25Have mercy.
00:31:27Absolutely not.
00:31:28If he runs,
00:31:29the fallout comes back on us.
00:31:31Sophia,
00:31:32you are going to send me
00:31:33to an early grave.
00:31:36Here's what's going to happen.
00:31:39My security detail
00:31:40is waiting just outside for me.
00:31:42They come in,
00:31:43they haul Chris' ass
00:31:44down to Langford Capital.
00:31:45And while he's sitting
00:31:46in the basement storage room,
00:31:47we'll have Sophia
00:31:48sign the annulment papers.
00:31:51Brilliant.
00:31:52You can teach this pawn scum a lesson.
00:31:55That's him.
00:31:56Taken.
00:31:56I dare you.
00:31:58Put one finger on me
00:32:00and you'll regret it
00:32:01for the rest of your life.
00:32:02Big talk coming from
00:32:03a broken con man.
00:32:04I'll have you dragged out of here
00:32:06in cuffs
00:32:06and the Donovan family
00:32:08will thank me.
00:32:09You're going to play this game?
00:32:10Go on, Derek.
00:32:12Make your move.
00:32:14Detain him.
00:32:15Now.
00:32:17Oh, shit.
00:32:18Oh, my gosh.
00:32:19He's got you.
00:32:20Oh, he's saved him.
00:32:21Stop it.
00:32:21He's off of her.
00:32:24Oh, yes.
00:32:26Oh.
00:32:27Don't worry.
00:32:28Once they're through with him,
00:32:29you'll thank me for saving you.
00:32:32Sophia,
00:32:33remember,
00:32:34I did this for you.
00:32:37For us.
00:32:40Take him.
00:32:41Yeah.
00:32:42Wait, don't.
00:32:42Stop it.
00:32:53After the bankruptcy leak,
00:32:55my board wants answers.
00:32:57You don't believe the rumors?
00:32:58Leaks can be planted.
00:32:59I don't buy for a second
00:33:00that Apex is broke.
00:33:02So this is a fact-finding mission.
00:33:04If the headlines are true,
00:33:05then we cut and run.
00:33:06But if not,
00:33:08this family may be sitting on a gold mine
00:33:10and not even realize it.
00:33:19Oh, my God.
00:33:19Oh, my God.
00:33:20Oh, my God.
00:33:20Oh, my God.
00:33:20Oh, my God.
00:33:20Oh, my God.
00:33:20I just saw a woman outside
00:33:22and she looks an awful lot
00:33:23like Marina Barron.
00:33:25Barron?
00:33:26As in Barron Holdings,
00:33:27are you sure?
00:33:28Yeah.
00:33:28I Googled her
00:33:29and the pictures on the Google
00:33:31look like the pictures
00:33:32of the woman
00:33:32who was standing outside.
00:33:33Don't you know what this means?
00:33:34She is the predator
00:33:35come to reflect on the money
00:33:36that Chris stole.
00:33:37Oh, my God.
00:33:38We're so screwed
00:33:40and Sophia is still legally tied to Chris
00:33:41if she connects the dots?
00:33:43That bastard.
00:33:43He hasn't been dragging us down
00:33:44since day one.
00:33:45Are you happy now?
00:33:46What do we do?
00:33:46We can't let her in.
00:33:49She is the most powerful woman
00:33:51on the street.
00:33:51If we don't let her in,
00:33:52we look guilty.
00:33:53Okay, but like, hear me out.
00:33:54Like, what if she's not here
00:33:56to collect on Chris's debts?
00:33:57Sweetheart, what?
00:33:58Don't be naive.
00:33:59Then, okay, here's what we do.
00:34:00We tell her that we kicked Chris out
00:34:02and then we forced Sophia
00:34:03to sign the annulment papers
00:34:04and we never touched a dime
00:34:06of his money.
00:34:07You should have gone
00:34:07to the courthouse hours ago.
00:34:09Hold on.
00:34:11Let me call my friend
00:34:12at the courthouse.
00:34:13Maybe he can backdate
00:34:14something for us.
00:34:15Yes.
00:34:15Daddy's got it.
00:34:17No, he isn't lying.
00:34:20He didn't steal
00:34:21a hundred billion dollars.
00:34:24Okay, Sophia,
00:34:25you look so demure right now,
00:34:26but my priority
00:34:27is protecting my family.
00:34:29He is my family.
00:34:31Well, then you need to decide.
00:34:33It's either him or us.
00:34:34I'm not signing anything today.
00:34:36Do you want to own us?
00:34:38You need to grow up.
00:34:39The world runs on money
00:34:40and power
00:34:41and your husband
00:34:42has knife.
00:34:43Okay, that's what
00:34:44we're gonna do.
00:34:44We're gonna let her in.
00:34:46We're gonna smile.
00:34:47We're gonna be gracious
00:34:48and we're gonna make it
00:34:49abundantly clear
00:34:50that we have cut ties
00:34:51with Chris completely.
00:34:53Completely.
00:34:53That means you.
00:34:55If she asks about the marriage,
00:34:57you say it's already
00:34:58been annuled.
00:34:58Do you understand?
00:34:59You are not gonna drag us
00:35:01down with him.
00:35:04Elizabeth,
00:35:05game time.
00:35:06Game time.
00:35:06Ladder in.
00:35:09Okay, smiles.
00:35:09I'll see you next time.
00:35:11I'll see you next time.
00:35:11Oh, Miss Sparron.
00:35:13What an honor.
00:35:15I believe your son-in-law
00:35:16works with one of our
00:35:17affiliate banks.
00:35:19I thought since I'm in town,
00:35:20I'd put a face to the name
00:35:21that I've heard
00:35:22such good things about.
00:35:24Tom Hayden,
00:35:25Assistant VP,
00:35:26Commercial Lending.
00:35:27Mentioned on our
00:35:27vendor list last year.
00:35:29Tom.
00:35:30It's a pleasure.
00:35:31Anything you need,
00:35:32you get my full attention.
00:35:34I appreciate that.
00:35:36Thank you, sweetheart.
00:35:38While I'm here,
00:35:40I thought I'd
00:35:41clear up a few
00:35:42questions
00:35:42that the market
00:35:43has been whispering about.
00:35:45Questions?
00:35:46Okay.
00:35:47Apex Group.
00:35:48If Chris Bell
00:35:49truly is at the helm,
00:35:51then the bankruptcy
00:35:52rumors don't add up.
00:35:53I know this
00:35:54was his last address
00:35:55on file.
00:35:56Is he here?
00:36:12Is he here?
00:36:13Uh, Chris,
00:36:15oh no,
00:36:16he is a loser
00:36:16who we kicked out
00:36:18and we cut ties with
00:36:19completely.
00:36:20You did what?
00:36:21And the marriage
00:36:22to our daughter.
00:36:24That's been annulled.
00:36:25He is no longer
00:36:26part of the family.
00:36:27Actually,
00:36:27he's a shit stain.
00:36:29And if he's in trouble,
00:36:30that's his problem.
00:36:31These idiots
00:36:32have no idea
00:36:34what they've done.
00:36:35Miss Barron,
00:36:37I don't think
00:36:38you understand.
00:36:39We despise him.
00:36:41And if we could
00:36:42cut him up
00:36:43into, like,
00:36:44tiny, little,
00:36:45itty-bitty,
00:36:46bite-sized pieces,
00:36:47we would.
00:36:48Excuse me,
00:36:48cut him to what now?
00:36:50Small pieces.
00:36:51And that's not
00:36:52all I would do.
00:36:53If I could,
00:36:54I would skin him alive.
00:36:56I would break
00:36:57every bone
00:36:57in his body.
00:36:59And then,
00:37:00I would suck
00:37:01his blood dry.
00:37:05It was scary.
00:37:07He just never
00:37:08really knew his place.
00:37:10He clung to Sophia,
00:37:12and then he used
00:37:13all of us.
00:37:13So you thought
00:37:14Chris Bell was not
00:37:15good enough
00:37:16to marry into this family?
00:37:17No.
00:37:19No.
00:37:19Bingo.
00:37:21Don't you worry,
00:37:22the world is better
00:37:23with him buried
00:37:24in a ditch.
00:37:24I'm sorry,
00:37:25where is he now?
00:37:29Derek's security
00:37:30detail took him
00:37:31to Langford Capital.
00:37:32Yes.
00:37:33The guards
00:37:33have probably already
00:37:34beat him halfway to death.
00:37:35But don't worry,
00:37:35Miss Barrett.
00:37:36I mean,
00:37:36none of us here
00:37:37feel sorry for him.
00:37:38And I think I speak
00:37:39on behalf of everyone
00:37:40on this couch
00:37:40when I say
00:37:41we'd all be a lot happier
00:37:42if they just finished
00:37:43the job.
00:37:48You said that he was
00:37:49at Langford Capital?
00:37:50Yeah,
00:37:50in the storage room
00:37:51in the basement.
00:37:52Derek wanted to take him
00:37:53to a place
00:37:53where nobody
00:37:53could hear him scream.
00:37:55Right.
00:37:56Yes.
00:37:57Oh.
00:37:59Congratulations.
00:38:00You just made
00:38:01the biggest mistake
00:38:03of your lives.
00:38:04What?
00:38:05Oh.
00:38:06What?
00:38:07I bet that sounds good.
00:38:08What the hell's our problem?
00:38:09Yeah,
00:38:10and why all of a sudden
00:38:10does she care about
00:38:11Chris's sense of well-being?
00:38:14No.
00:38:16She's sleeping with him.
00:38:17Oh, yes.
00:38:18Yes, yes, yes.
00:38:20Excuse me?
00:38:21I mean,
00:38:21why else would a woman
00:38:22like that care
00:38:23about financial corpses?
00:38:24Oh,
00:38:25it's all so clear now.
00:38:27The drones
00:38:28that theatrics Chris
00:38:30was trying to impress her.
00:38:32Baron Holdings,
00:38:32they protect their own.
00:38:34She's probably fun
00:38:34being on the side.
00:38:35Probably a lot more than that.
00:38:37Huh?
00:38:38Hopefully.
00:38:39That's true.
00:38:40And they're still entangled.
00:38:41We need to sever ties
00:38:42immediately.
00:38:44Tomorrow morning,
00:38:45no delays.
00:38:45The papers.
00:38:46No, no.
00:38:46Whoa.
00:38:48I won't be part
00:38:49of your gossip mill.
00:38:50Well,
00:38:50it's not gossip
00:38:51if it's obvious,
00:38:52Sophia.
00:38:53It's obvious
00:38:54that you'll do anything
00:38:55to make Chris look bad.
00:38:56Yeah,
00:38:57that's enough.
00:38:57As long as you
00:38:58are still married to him,
00:39:00our family
00:39:01is on the chopping block
00:39:03for his reckless failings.
00:39:04You are either
00:39:05too naive
00:39:06or too stupid
00:39:08to say it.
00:39:23annulment papers.
00:39:25Sign them
00:39:26and we're done.
00:39:26You think this basement
00:39:27scares me?
00:39:29You have no idea
00:39:31what's coming.
00:39:39good news,
00:39:40asshole.
00:39:41Your wife's family
00:39:42is ready to be reasonable.
00:39:45Then I guess
00:39:46I don't need
00:39:47to sign anything.
00:39:48Cute.
00:39:50Sign
00:39:51the goddamn
00:39:52papers.
00:39:53Derek,
00:39:54you keep taking
00:39:56my silence
00:39:56for surrender.
00:39:58This is your last chance,
00:40:00bro.
00:40:00Hmm?
00:40:01If you refuse,
00:40:03I'll buy Apex Group
00:40:04myself
00:40:05and then I'll sell it
00:40:06for scraps
00:40:07like a junkyard car.
00:40:08Hmm?
00:40:10So what's it gonna be?
00:40:13Time's ticking.
00:40:15Derek,
00:40:18you can go straight
00:40:21to hell.
00:40:24They can regret
00:40:25that choice.
00:40:34This is gonna make you
00:40:35sign one way
00:40:36or another.
00:40:38Last chance
00:40:39to take the easy
00:40:39way out.
00:40:41What fun
00:40:42would that be?
00:40:50Oh,
00:40:50light them up
00:40:51like a Christmas
00:40:51tree.
00:41:06Is that all
00:41:07you got?
00:41:23sign a problem,
00:41:25or I'll make sure
00:41:25that every nerve
00:41:26in your body
00:41:27is fried,
00:41:28rendering you
00:41:29useless.
00:41:36Touch him again
00:41:37and I'll make sure
00:41:38this entire building
00:41:39is on lockdown
00:41:40before sunrise.
00:41:41What the hell
00:41:42is this?
00:41:43Kidnapping?
00:41:44Extortion?
00:41:45Attempted murder?
00:41:48He's a fraud
00:41:49and a liar.
00:41:51He's a two-bit
00:41:52Bernie Madoff hack.
00:41:54Whatever rumors
00:41:55you've heard
00:41:55about Apex Group,
00:41:57the story isn't
00:41:57adding up.
00:41:58Who the fuck
00:41:59are you?
00:42:01Marina Baron.
00:42:04Baron Holdings.
00:42:06Oh, shit.
00:42:08She's about
00:42:09to destroy
00:42:10my whole plan.
00:42:14Listen, Marina,
00:42:16I really appreciate
00:42:18what you're trying
00:42:18to do here,
00:42:19but he's right.
00:42:22I'm a fraud.
00:42:26I have
00:42:28multiple contacts,
00:42:29credible sources
00:42:30inside.
00:42:31They're wrong.
00:42:32Trust me.
00:42:34I'm toxic.
00:42:37You don't want
00:42:37anything to do
00:42:38with me.
00:42:39I must have been
00:42:40wrong about him.
00:42:42We should sit down
00:42:43and talk.
00:42:44I like the way
00:42:45you operate.
00:42:49You never see
00:42:50that Chris guy
00:42:50again.
00:42:51I don't think
00:42:51we will.
00:42:52I think we really
00:42:52scared him off
00:42:53last time.
00:42:55Oh, my God.
00:42:56Look what the cab's
00:42:57racked in.
00:42:58Chris.
00:43:04He thought you'd get
00:43:05rid of me, huh?
00:43:06Well,
00:43:09I'm not done yet.
00:43:13Stay right there.
00:43:16Unbelievable.
00:43:18He just crawls
00:43:19right back into
00:43:19our home like a stray.
00:43:21Somebody should
00:43:22call animal control.
00:43:23No need.
00:43:24We can evict him
00:43:25ourselves.
00:43:27Tonight,
00:43:28we're good.
00:43:31Sophia.
00:43:36Look at me.
00:43:39no looks.
00:43:40You are not
00:43:41a husband.
00:43:42You are not
00:43:43a son-in-law.
00:43:44And you are not
00:43:45part of this
00:43:46family anymore.
00:43:47Tom,
00:43:49show him the door.
00:43:50Oh, absolutely.
00:43:51Oh, but don't let
00:43:52him step on the lawn
00:43:52because the gardener
00:43:53just planted
00:43:53my favorite flowers
00:43:54and if he steps
00:43:55on them,
00:43:55he'll just be so
00:43:56obsessed.
00:43:57Of course I may.
00:43:57All right.
00:43:58I know where
00:43:59the door is, Tom.
00:44:02Are you coming
00:44:03with me?
00:44:08Don't you dare.
00:44:10Do you want to
00:44:12kill your father
00:44:13with the stress?
00:44:18Do you want that
00:44:19on your conscience?
00:44:27Chris, I'm sorry.
00:44:39You're going to
00:44:40regret this.
00:44:43All of you.
00:44:44For every word,
00:44:46every choice
00:44:47that you made
00:44:48today.
00:44:50Sure, whatever.
00:44:52Just put it in a
00:44:52greeting card.
00:44:53There's the door,
00:44:54Jim.
00:44:55There.
00:44:58I'm not giving up
00:44:59on this.
00:45:04Oh, good riddance.
00:45:08Hey.
00:45:09Yeah?
00:45:09Someone's going to
00:45:10need to change
00:45:11the locks.
00:45:13Okay, yes.
00:45:16You're welcome.
00:45:16I love you.
00:45:23Vic, it's me.
00:45:27Do it.
00:45:28All of them.
00:45:30I want each one
00:45:31of them begging
00:45:31for mercy.
00:45:35I've got that
00:45:35new one, James.
00:45:36That's a cute
00:45:37one 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
00:45:49effective immediately?
00:45:49I've headed that
00:45:50committee for three years.
00:45:51No, no, no.
00:45:52There has to be
00:45:53some mistake.
00:45:53I just closed
00:45:54the full...
00:45:54No, no, no, no.
00:45:55Wait, you can't...
00:45:56Revoke, no, I...
00:45:57Wait, wait, wait.
00:45:57You can't just
00:45:58restructure me out.
00:45:59I signed the...
00:46:00The promotion paperwork.
00:46:01Hello?
00:46:02Hello?
00:46:07Oh, my God.
00:46:08I was just fired.
00:46:10Me, too.
00:46:12And they're rolling
00:46:13back my bonus
00:46:14reviewing irregularities.
00:46:16What just happened?
00:46:20It's Chris.
00:46:22The man is so toxic,
00:46:24he's taking us all
00:46:25down with him.
00:46:26Our brother-in-law's
00:46:27company is publicly
00:46:29outed as bankrupt
00:46:30and riddled with fraud,
00:46:32and then both of our
00:46:32careers just go up
00:46:33in smoke?
00:46:34That is not
00:46:36a coincidence.
00:46:37Wait a minute.
00:46:37So he shits the bed,
00:46:40and you two are
00:46:41collateral damage?
00:46:42Yes!
00:46:43You see?
00:46:44This is why I say
00:46:45sever ties, Cody.
00:46:48You don't know
00:46:48that Chris was
00:46:49the cause of this.
00:46:50Oh, don't be naive.
00:46:52He makes enemies
00:46:53wherever he goes,
00:46:54and we are expected
00:46:56to foot the bill.
00:46:57We're not eating this.
00:46:58Not after everything.
00:47:00The city still owes
00:47:02on a demolition payout.
00:47:04Chris's childhood home
00:47:05is in the redevelopment
00:47:07zone.
00:47:07He is still owed
00:47:09a check for them
00:47:10tearing it down.
00:47:12So...
00:47:12We collect it as
00:47:13compensation for
00:47:14everything he put us
00:47:15through.
00:47:15Oh, you can't just
00:47:16take it.
00:47:17Watch us.
00:47:17We will file a claim
00:47:19through the executive
00:47:20or whatever place,
00:47:22okay?
00:47:22By the time Chris
00:47:23figures out the money's
00:47:24gone, it's too late.
00:47:25It's ours.
00:47:26Yeah, we don't need
00:47:27to suffer for his
00:47:29incompetence.
00:47:30He will pay it out.
00:47:32Do it.
00:47:32Make him pay back
00:47:33every dollar he owes
00:47:35this family.
00:47:36That house
00:47:37is the only
00:47:38memory he has
00:47:40left of his parents.
00:47:41Well, he should
00:47:42have thought about
00:47:42that before he
00:47:43tanked his business
00:47:44and poisoned our
00:47:45names.
00:47:46I'll get the paper
00:47:47we're going.
00:47:48County records office
00:47:49opens in the morning.
00:47:50You're so smart, babe.
00:47:51You're saving the day.
00:47:54You see?
00:47:55We take care of her.
00:47:58Got it.
00:47:59Any bucks
00:48:01with the Donovits!
00:48:08To anyone else,
00:48:09this is a run-down
00:48:09old house.
00:48:11But for me,
00:48:12it's home.
00:48:18Lostad, you're
00:48:19the last holdout.
00:48:20Just sign the property
00:48:21over and no one
00:48:21gets hurt.
00:48:22This house is the
00:48:23last thing left
00:48:23of my parents.
00:48:24You want it?
00:48:26We're going to have
00:48:27to tear it down
00:48:27with me in it.
00:48:33Oh, I knew
00:48:34Chris would be here.
00:48:37Get him to agree
00:48:38and that demolition
00:48:39payment 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
00:48:47cost us money,
00:48:48jobs, status.
00:48:50You'll get him
00:48:51to sign it over
00:48:52because you're
00:48:52a Donovan first.
00:48:56do it.
00:49:07Sophia.
00:49:10Hi!
00:49:15Go on.
00:49:17Isn't there something
00:49:17you want to say
00:49:18to him?
00:49:21Chris, I...
00:49:24I know how
00:49:24important this is.
00:49:25Oh, just spit it
00:49:26out already!
00:49:29Please,
00:49:31don't ask me
00:49:31to do this.
00:49:32Don't listen to him.
00:49:34He will just
00:49:34drag us down
00:49:35until we have
00:49:36nothing left.
00:49:37Go on.
00:49:38Talk some sense
00:49:39into him.
00:49:40He is going to
00:49:40bury us with him,
00:49:41Sophia.
00:49:42And what about
00:49:43Dad, huh?
00:49:45He's going to kill
00:49:46him faster than
00:49:46the heart disease
00:49:47ever would.
00:49:55Carissa.
00:49:56I'm sorry.
00:50:00It's just a lot
00:50:01of money.
00:50:02Okay, that's
00:50:03enough talking.
00:50:04Excuse me?
00:50:06Excuse us.
00:50:07I need more stuff.
00:50:08Oh, I hate these
00:50:09stairs.
00:50:10They're the first
00:50:10to go, I think.
00:50:20Ugly, hideous,
00:50:22horrible.
00:50:24Oh, well this
00:50:26has to be a
00:50:27knockoff.
00:50:28Chris's parents
00:50:29could never afford
00:50:30the real thing.
00:50:32Bag it, babe.
00:50:33Yes, ma'am.
00:50:36Oh, what is in
00:50:38here, huh?
00:50:40Pretty pricey for
00:50:41someone who can't
00:50:42even afford lunch
00:50:42meat, huh?
00:50:43Us belong to
00:50:44my grandmother.
00:50:45Oh, well, then
00:50:47she should have
00:50:47taken them to the
00:50:48grave with her.
00:50:50These deadbeats
00:50:51sure know how to
00:50:52keep up appearances.
00:50:53Oh, wow.
00:50:54This is fancy.
00:50:56Tom, off the
00:50:57wall, in the bag
00:50:58now.
00:50:58Yep.
00:50:58Now, let me ask
00:50:59you, Chris.
00:51:00Were your mom
00:51:01and dad
00:51:03kleptomaniacs?
00:51:04Oh, yes.
00:51:07Somebody was
00:51:08very busy in
00:51:09kindergarten art
00:51:10class.
00:51:11My mother made
00:51:11that, okay?
00:51:12That's the last
00:51:13thing I have of
00:51:14hers.
00:51:15Well, mom
00:51:16certainly wasn't
00:51:18Michelangelo.
00:51:25Oops.
00:51:30That was
00:51:32priceless.
00:51:34Chris.
00:51:35Well, uh, not
00:51:37anymore.
00:51:39Chris.
00:51:41I'm sorry.
00:51:46I'm working.
00:51:47Oh, you had a
00:51:47weapon.
00:51:48It's demolition
00:51:48time.
00:51:49Oh, wonderful.
00:51:54Oh, I hope you
00:51:56took pictures,
00:51:56Chris.
00:51:57Is this dump
00:51:57right here?
00:51:58It's about to be a
00:51:58pile of rubble.
00:51:59Let's go, boys.
00:52:13All right, great.
00:52:14You got a big
00:52:14bulldozer, but this
00:52:16house does not move.
00:52:17Not one brick.
00:52:18Move aside, Mel.
00:52:19Unless you want to get
00:52:20flattened out like a
00:52:21fucking pancake.
00:52:24Then you're going to
00:52:24have 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
00:52:33himself over a shithole.
00:52:34Well, at least that
00:52:35saves us the paperwork.
00:53:01What the fuck is it?
00:53:02What the fuck is it?
00:53:03What the fuck is it?
00:53:07Oh, if that bulldozer
00:53:09moves another inch,
00:53:10I will bury your little
00:53:11demolition racket in
00:53:12federal court.
00:53:14Kickbacks, forged bids,
00:53:18half of your payroll
00:53:19are ghosts.
00:53:19You don't think I see
00:53:20every 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
00:53:37swooping in
00:53:38to rescue you.
00:53:41Come on,
00:53:42we're done here.
00:53:46I didn't want it
00:53:46to be like this.
00:53:47It doesn't have to be.
00:53:49If you just stay with me.
00:53:51Oh, what?
00:53:52So you can have
00:53:53another mistress?
00:53:55Look, I can explain
00:53:56all of this.
00:53:57Just,
00:53:59not yet.
00:54:00Oh, mystery man
00:54:01has some secret
00:54:02timetable, hmm?
00:54:03Hmm, maybe he's
00:54:04under an NDA.
00:54:06Let me translate
00:54:07for you, my dear.
00:54:09A man who has
00:54:10to explain
00:54:11is a man
00:54:12who is alive.
00:54:13You can do better
00:54:14than that.
00:54:15Okay.
00:54:16You want to know
00:54:17the truth?
00:54:21The truth is,
00:54:23Victoria is not
00:54:24my mistress.
00:54:25She works for me.
00:54:26She's Apex Group's
00:54:28fixer.
00:54:28And I'm the
00:54:29Queen of Monaco.
00:54:30She has no power.
00:54:32Your company
00:54:33is a laughingstock.
00:54:34It is a disgrace.
00:54:35Not only are you
00:54:36delusional,
00:54:37but you also think
00:54:38they were a bunch
00:54:38of fools.
00:54:39Do you see
00:54:40the sickness in this?
00:54:41He has created
00:54:42this whole fantasy
00:54:43where he's still rich
00:54:45and his assistant
00:54:46is some kind of
00:54:48Tony Soprano.
00:54:50If that's true,
00:54:52why did you
00:54:53keep it from me?
00:54:54Why keep her a secret?
00:54:56Because she works
00:54:57in the shadows.
00:54:59And I couldn't...
00:55:02Oh, there it is.
00:55:04The sentence ends
00:55:05before the truth begins.
00:55:07So what?
00:55:08We're supposed to hang
00:55:09our livelihoods off
00:55:10and just...
00:55:11Just trust me, babe?
00:55:12He wants you to think
00:55:14it's a business relationship.
00:55:16But it's a cover
00:55:17for a sham,
00:55:19for an affair,
00:55:20for a bunch of lies
00:55:21that he thinks
00:55:22you are too stupid
00:55:24to see.
00:55:25I can't breathe.
00:55:27No, just don't.
00:55:37I want to send
00:55:38the annulment.
00:55:41Well, compensation first.
00:55:43Let's do the calculations.
00:55:44Um, let's see.
00:55:46Reputational harm,
00:55:47employees lost,
00:55:48and, um, distress.
00:55:50I was...
00:55:50Oh, I was also
00:55:51very distressed.
00:55:52My wife was very distressed.
00:55:52And you know what
00:55:53sounds good to me?
00:55:54Round numbers.
00:55:56You know,
00:55:57I think eight figures
00:55:58keeps it mean,
00:55:59but multiple aids
00:56:00keeps it fair.
00:56:01Yeah.
00:56:01You owe us
00:56:02for what you cost us.
00:56:05Fuck off.
00:56:06Well, not until
00:56:07we get what we want.
00:56:08I tell you what,
00:56:09why don't you send us
00:56:10a cool 50 mil
00:56:11from one of those
00:56:12offshore accounts
00:56:13that we heard you have?
00:56:15Oh!
00:56:17You called the police.
00:56:19I did.
00:56:20I reported
00:56:21a few trespassers.
00:56:24We're not trespassing.
00:56:25This is my son-in-law's
00:56:27home,
00:56:27and we are reclaiming
00:56:29what is ours.
00:56:30Officer,
00:56:30I'd like to report
00:56:31an active burglary.
00:56:32No, no, no.
00:56:33You cannot arrest us.
00:56:34Sophia is still married
00:56:36to Chris,
00:56:36so his assets
00:56:37are community property.
00:56:39Sir,
00:56:40is this your residence?
00:56:43No.
00:56:44It belonged to my parents.
00:56:46Well then,
00:56:47consider it payback
00:56:48for the affair
00:56:49you'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
00:56:54one more time
00:56:54and trickle your problems.
00:56:56Trespassing,
00:56:57burglary,
00:56:58slander.
00:56:59Okay, well,
00:56:59she didn't mean to.
00:57:00Too late.
00:57:01I'll be like orange.
00:57:02That'll be the only color
00:57:03in your closet
00:57:04for the next
00:57:04three to five years.
00:57:06Go ahead
00:57:07and arrest us.
00:57:08Parade us
00:57:09on the evening news
00:57:10and drag your boss
00:57:11through public humiliation
00:57:13and just see
00:57:14how the world reacts
00:57:15to this so-called
00:57:16affair you're having.
00:57:17I don't bluff.
00:57:18Wait, wait, wait.
00:57:20Please.
00:57:21Don't press charges.
00:57:23It's my mom.
00:57:25My sister.
00:57:28If you spare them,
00:57:30I'll let Chris go.
00:57:32If you want him,
00:57:33you 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,
00:57:41not his mistress.
00:57:42That's all.
00:57:43At least escort them
00:57:45off the premises.
00:57:46Ah!
00:57:46No.
00:57:47No need.
00:57:48A Donovan
00:57:49doesn't overstay
00:57:50their welcome.
00:57:51Hmm.
00:57:58Hey, I'm Sophie.
00:58:00Come on.
00:58:01Listen.
00:58:03I can make it up to you,
00:58:04okay?
00:58:05I promise.
00:58:07I might have to start small,
00:58:08but I don't know.
00:58:10In the car
00:58:11that you were talking about,
00:58:12I'll get it for you
00:58:13tomorrow.
00:58:14Chris,
00:58:14you can't afford it.
00:58:17Why do you keep
00:58:17trying to do this?
00:58:21It's not the reason
00:58:22why I married you.
00:58:27I promise you
00:58:28I'm gonna make this right.
00:58:30Trust me.
00:58:44It's beautiful.
00:58:46It certainly is.
00:58:49It's yours.
00:58:50If you want it.
00:58:52If you can't afford it,
00:58:53sweetie,
00:58:54maybe don't touch.
00:58:56Lil,
00:58:57look at what the cat
00:58:58dragged in.
00:58:58Chris Bell.
00:59:00Professional failure.
00:59:01And the girl dumb enough
00:59:03to 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
00:59:17the merchandise.
00:59:18Babes,
00:59:19remember what I said?
00:59:20The poor come to luxury rooms
00:59:22like tourists at the zoo.
00:59:24They gawk and stare
00:59:26and then they leave.
00:59:30What 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,
00:59:42bankrupt,
00:59:42fraudulent,
00:59:43blah, blah.
00:59:44You went from visionary
00:59:45to vision board.
00:59:47Tell you what,
00:59:48if you're real nice,
00:59:49we'll let you sit in the backseat
00:59:51so you can smell the upholstery.
00:59:54We need two.
00:59:56White and black.
00:59:59But 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.
01:00:08Use my card.
01:00:10Chris.
01:00:11That's fine.
01:00:14This is going to be fun.
01:00:21Ooh.
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
01:00:35for 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
01:00:48has no clothes
01:00:50and no credit,
01:00:51apparently.
01:00:53Honey,
01:00:53there are plenty of great used lots
01:00:56in the valley
01:00:57and they have free coffee, too.
01:00:58All right, just
01:00:58call your supervisor.
01:01:00Enable the corporum rails.
01:01:02Corporate rails?
01:01:04Someone learned a new phrase
01:01:05on TikTok.
01:01:07Cute shade.
01:01:08Is this a black diamond
01:01:10or the Party City edition?
01:01:12All right.
01:01:14Thanks.
01:01:16Where'd you get those?
01:01:18Out of a claw machine
01:01:19at Chuck E. Cheese?
01:01:20Counterfeits of crime is slick.
01:01:23Call your manager.
01:01:24No.
01:01:25And you two?
01:01:27You should be very scared.
01:01:29Not of me,
01:01:30but of your boss
01:01:31when he finds out
01:01:32who you've been insulted.
01:01:33We run this floor.
01:01:35Keep talking.
01:01:36Maybe we'll get you
01:01:36a complimentary keychain
01:01:38on the way out.
01:01:39Chris,
01:01:40are 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
01:01:49is trying to buy a vehicle
01:01:50with a dead stack of plastic.
01:01:53And who's your nose?
01:01:54Those would be mine.
01:01:56It looks like your terminal
01:01:58is refusing corporate authorization.
01:02:02Terminal 2.
01:02:04Enable Bank Direct.
01:02:08Wait a minute.
01:02:10This 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!
01:02:25Pin, sir?
01:02:28Of course.
01:02:37My apologies,
01:02:39Mr.
01:02:40Bell.
01:02:41Mr. Bell.
01:02:43Welcome.
01:02:45I do apologize
01:02:46that you weren't recognized
01:02:47sooner
01:02:47and on behalf
01:02:48of my salespeople
01:02:49who are complete incompetent...
01:02:52It must be a mistake.
01:02:54No, it's no mistake.
01:02:55I want both of you
01:02:55off my floor.
01:02:57Let's head to the detail bay.
01:02:58I've got a couple of cars
01:02:59that need to wash.
01:03:00You were just trying
01:03:01to protect the dealership.
01:03:03By insulting a VIP
01:03:05and his lovely wife.
01:03:08Mrs. Bell,
01:03:09I sincerely apologize.
01:03:11In this showroom,
01:03:12we take pride
01:03:13in excellence
01:03:14and 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.
01:03:22I'm going to take back
01:03:23what I said.
01:03:24You're both fired.
01:03:26You can't do that.
01:03:28I'm your top salesperson.
01:03:29Correction.
01:03:30You were.
01:03:30Marriage is a liability.
01:03:32This is crazy.
01:03:33So it is approved once.
01:03:35I mean,
01:03:36it's a glitch.
01:04:00This is a glitch.
01:04:02Mr. Stone,
01:04:03we were only trying
01:04:04to do our job.
01:04:05He's a con man.
01:04:06Haven't you seen
01:04:06the headlines?
01:04:07Maybe you shouldn't
01:04:08listen to everything
01:04:09you read on the internet.
01:04:11Sophia,
01:04:12you were high school
01:04:13classmates.
01:04:14Please,
01:04:15say something.
01:04:16You were awful
01:04:17to me back then, too.
01:04:19You always
01:04:20will just be the same.
01:04:23You think standing
01:04:24next to him
01:04:25makes you a somebody?
01:04:26All it makes you
01:04:28is the plus one
01:04:29to a worthless nobody.
01:04:30When the money dries up,
01:04:32and it will,
01:04:33you'll be the one
01:04:34hoarding food stamps
01:04:35while he's hiding
01:04:36from the debt collector.
01:04:37I've heard enough.
01:04:39Security,
01:04:40let's hoard these two.
01:04:42You can play rich
01:04:43all you want,
01:04:44but we know exactly
01:04:45what you are.
01:04:46Nothing!
01:04:49Get him out of here.
01:04:55Chris,
01:04:57how can you afford
01:04:58all these cars?
01:05:01Oh,
01:05:03the rumors
01:05:04about my company's death
01:05:05may be
01:05:07premature.
01:05:08Look,
01:05:08I can't explain it.
01:05:11Not yet.
01:05:16I need you
01:05:16to trust me.
01:05:18Just
01:05:18a little while longer.
01:05:20Okay?
01:05:22I won't let you die.
01:05:30Hey, Vic.
01:05:32Yeah?
01:05:34Oh,
01:05:35I'm ready.
01:05:36It's time to finish
01:05:37what we started.
01:05:40Langford Capital's

01:05:43meeting tomorrow

01:05:46making a surprise keynote.
01:05:48What are you up to?
01:05:51Just bring the whole family.
01:05:53Make sure you sit
01:05:54in the front row.
01:06:02Security's in its place.
01:06:04The press is in the pen.
01:06:05The exit route
01:06:05is the service corridor
01:06:06in case anyone
01:06:07in the room gets feral.
01:06:08Hello.
01:06:09Prepare for the
01:06:10worst-case scenario.
01:06:12And after?
01:06:13After you can breathe.
01:06:15Maybe apologize
01:06:16to the one person
01:06:17who deserves it.
01:06:27Even if she never
01:06:28forgives me,
01:06:29the 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,
01:06:52I'd like to make an announcement.
01:06:54Today, Langford Capital

01:07:06Hey!
01:07:07I was serious back there,
01:07:08alright?
01:07:09With Apex Group
01:07:10crashing and burning,
01:07:11the future could be ours.
01:07:13Merge with Langford Capital.
01:07:15We could bury
01:07:17our competition.
01:07:19We'd be unstoppable.

01:07:27Well, Derek
01:07:29is building an empire.
01:07:31Your husband
01:07:31is circling
01:07:32the drain.
01:07:34You chose wrong, darling.
01:07:36Looking forward
01:07:37to today's agenda.
01:07:38The first thing
01:07:39we will do
01:07:39is be looking at
01:07:40last quarter's
01:07:41financial results.
01:07:43This is going to...
01:07:58isn't that Chris Bell?
01:08:01I heard he was
01:08:02homeless and bankrupt.
01:08:04Oh, God.
01:08:05He's about to
01:08:06humiliate himself again.
01:08:08Maybe they'll
01:08:09catch 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
01:08:18in 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
01:08:27the only thing
01:08:28that I own.
01:08:29What are you
01:08:30babbling on about?
01:08:31I own
01:08:32Baron Holdings, too.
01:08:35That's insane.
01:08:37Impossible.
01:08:38Not possible.
01:08:40Calculate it.
01:08:42See what Derek
01:08:43was busy gloating about.
01:08:44my supposed
01:08:45bankruptcy.
01:08:46Apex Global
01:08:47quietly built
01:08:48a shadow position
01:08:49in Baron Holdings.
01:08:51So by the time
01:08:52he poured the champagne
01:08:53and whispered
01:08:54sweet mergers
01:08:55in Marina's ear,
01:08:56I already owned
01:08:57her board.
01:08:59So,
01:09:00when Langford
01:09:01merged with Baron
01:09:02just this morning,
01:09:04guess who's
01:09:05controlling vote
01:09:06dictated
01:09:07the terms.
01:09:10Derek,
01:09:11that merger
01:09:13that you bragged
01:09:14about,
01:09:14it wasn't
01:09:15your crowning move.
01:09:17It was my endgame.
01:09:20It wasn't your crowning move.
01:09:22It was my endgame.
01:09:24Baron swallowed
01:09:25Langford whole,
01:09:25and since I own
01:09:27Baron,
01:09:28that makes me
01:09:29majority shareholder
01:09:30in both,
01:09:30which means,
01:09:32Derek,
01:09:33I'm not crashing
01:09:34in your meeting.
01:09:36I'm running it.
01:09:38That can't be true.
01:09:40We saw the bankruptcy
01:09:41filings.
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
01:09:49immediately.
01:09:51You can't do that.
01:09:52I just did.
01:09:54And Marina,
01:09:56that cushy seat
01:09:57next to him,
01:09:58well,
01:09:59that's gone too.
01:09:59Fortunately,
01:10:00you aligned yourself
01:10:01with the wrong savior.
01:10:02Now,
01:10:03you both report
01:10:04to me.
01:10:05In fact,
01:10:05let's make it official.
01:10:07Derek Langford
01:10:08and Marina Baron,
01:10:10you both
01:10:11are just
01:10:12hated.
01:10:15I own the board.
01:10:16I own
01:10:18the vote.
01:10:19And now,
01:10:23I own you.
01:10:45I'm sure you all
01:10:47are wondering why
01:10:48I let the world
01:10:49think I was finished.
01:10:51Why I let
01:10:52everyone write
01:10:53my obituary
01:10:54while I just
01:10:55sat by quietly.
01:10:58Because when
01:10:59the predators
01:10:59start to circle,
01:11:01you don't raise
01:11:02a red flag.
01:11:04Play dead.
01:11:06You let them
01:11:07think that
01:11:08they've already won.
01:11:10But I made
01:11:11the first move.
01:11:13Because if I didn't,
01:11:15they certainly
01:11:15would've.
01:11:16they weren't just
01:11:17eyeing a marriage
01:11:18between Langford
01:11:19and Baron.
01:11:21They were coming
01:11:22for Apex, too.
01:11:24Every seat,
01:11:25every share.
01:11:27And when the dust
01:11:28settled,
01:11:28they would've left us
01:11:30with absolutely
01:11:30nothing.
01:11:31And while you're
01:11:33making confessions
01:11:33to your wife,
01:11:34you might as well
01:11:35tell her everything.
01:11:37Including
01:11:38our affair.
01:11:41You hear that,
01:11:42Soph?
01:11:42Your knight in
01:11:43shining armor
01:11:44is actually just
01:11:45another cheating
01:11:45bastard.
01:11:46So what, huh?
01:11:47You're torching our
01:11:49family and then
01:11:49humiliating our sister?
01:11:51Hmm?
01:11:51Look,
01:11:52I already told you.
01:11:54This guy's
01:11:55poison.
01:11:56Tell me it's not true.
01:11:59You already know
01:12:00the answer to that.
01:12:02Of course it's not.
01:12:04She's desperate.
01:12:06Don't torture yourself,
01:12:08sweetheart.
01:12:09Remember the documents
01:12:10you signed
01:12:11before the wedding?
01:12:12I am sure
01:12:13they are an
01:12:14ironclad prenup.
01:12:16Now,
01:12:16I bet every dollar
01:12:17that he shielded
01:12:18his stake with
01:12:19Apex Global,
01:12:20so you'll be left
01:12:21with nothing
01:12:21either way.
01:12:22You know,
01:12:23it's funny that
01:12:23you bring up
01:12:24those 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,
01:12:45Sophia.
01:12:46I'm sure he tricked you
01:12:47into giving away
01:12:48everything.
01:12:49It's a transfer
01:12:50of controlling interest.
01:12:53Chris,
01:12:53need a majority
01:12:54shareholder
01:12:55of Apex Global.
01:12:57before the wedding.
01:12:58No.
01:13:00No.
01:13:01No, no, no, no.
01:13:03No.
01:13:04But she's
01:13:04worth 80 billion
01:13:06dollars,
01:13:07which makes her
01:13:07the richest person
01:13:08in this world.
01:13:09Oh, my God.
01:13:14Sophia,
01:13:15sweetheart,
01:13:16we were wrong.
01:13:18We just,
01:13:19we didn't understand.
01:13:20Look at us,
01:13:21we're idiots.
01:13:21Oh, yeah,
01:13:21you know that we love you.
01:13:23And everything that we did.
01:13:25I mean,
01:13:25it's too good,
01:13:26maybe,
01:13:26but it's a family.
01:13:28Sophia,
01:13:30please.
01:13:31Now, listen.
01:13:32We are on our knees.
01:13:33Please.
01:13:35We're only looking out
01:13:36for your best interest.
01:13:37Sweetheart.
01:13:38Sweetheart.
01:13:40After everything
01:13:41we did for you,
01:13:42you owe us.
01:13:45We are your,
01:13:46your flesh
01:13:47and blood.
01:13:48And
01:13:50we need your help.
01:13:51We don't need much.
01:13:52Just,
01:13:52just, um,
01:13:55a,
01:13:56a billion or
01:13:57two.
01:13:58I just,
01:13:58everything.
01:14:00I finally see the truth.
01:14:02Chris believed in me
01:14:03when no one else did.
01:14:10And I choose it.
01:14:13Soph,
01:14:15I'm sorry I had to hide this from you.
01:14:18But trust me when I say
01:14:20I did this for us.
01:14:23It was truthfully
01:14:26the only merger
01:14:27that ever really mattered
01:14:29was you and me, Soph.
01:14:31I love you.
