00:09:35whoa
00:09:35let me catch my breath
00:09:37if we're really doing this
00:09:38i have three ground rules
00:09:40i'm listening
00:09:41first
00:09:42your money stays yours
00:09:43i don't want anyone thinking i'm a gold digger
00:09:45i can do that
00:09:46second
00:09:46boundaries
00:09:47we respect each other's space
00:09:49mutual respect
00:09:49minimal meddling
00:09:50and third
00:09:51my son never had a mom
00:09:53when we're married
00:09:54treat him like your own
00:09:58deal
00:09:59i agree to all of it
00:10:00now before you find any more rules
00:10:02let's go
00:10:06this is moving so fast
00:10:09speed is the new romance
00:10:10all the kids are doing it
00:10:12you gotta keep up with the times
00:10:15maybe i'm just old-fashioned that way
00:10:16but hey at least it's legally binding
00:10:18a good sense of humor too huh
00:10:20you're the real deal
00:10:21i'm full of surprises
00:10:23oh
00:10:24that reminds me
00:10:30for me
00:10:32just
00:10:32a little something
00:10:34hope you don't have something like it already
00:10:36definitely not
00:10:37it's beautiful
00:10:47so
00:10:48how do i look
00:10:49i think you make it look even more beautiful than before
00:10:52okay romeo
00:10:53before this gets any more cute i have a few meetings to catch
00:10:56see you later though
00:11:00sir she's gone you can close your mouth now
00:11:02cut me some slack
00:11:05sofia

00:11:08impossible
00:11:08your identity is buried deep
00:11:11only a handful of people in the world know the truth
00:11:13then why would someone like her want someone like me
00:11:15a maintenance worker with nothing to offer
00:11:17you did save her life
00:11:18or maybe she just sees something in you the rest of the world doesn't

00:35:25Your mouth
00:35:26One more word
00:35:27And I'll have you dragged out of here
00:35:32Apologize to Mr. Smith
00:35:34Now
00:35:40Mr. Sadge
00:35:41What are you
00:35:42Are you deaf?
00:35:50Apologize to Mr. Smith now
00:35:52Or you'll regret it
00:35:55That's enough
00:36:01Dad
00:36:01Thank god
00:36:06Mr. Sadge
00:36:07Has lost his mind
00:36:08He's beating Brandon
00:36:10I can see that
00:36:11Richard
00:36:12Release my son
00:36:13Anthony
00:36:14Perfect timing
00:36:16Your son needs a lesson in respect
00:36:18My son is my business
00:36:20Not yours
00:36:21You would do well
00:36:22To remember your place
00:36:23I'm trying to save him
00:36:25From a mistake
00:36:25He won't survive
00:36:26Save him
00:36:27You nearly beat him to death
00:36:30And you have the nerve
00:36:31To call it helping
00:36:35Dad you have to do something
00:36:38Your son picked a fight
00:36:39With the wrong person
00:36:40If I hadn't stepped in
00:36:42You'd both be dead by now
00:36:43The wrong person?
00:36:45Who exactly?
00:36:50Him?
00:36:52If Richard's this scared
00:36:54Who the hell is this guy?
00:36:58Sir may I ask
00:37:00What exactly did my son do?
00:37:01Threatened to kill someone
00:37:02Over basically nothing
00:37:04You might want to get that
00:37:05Under control before it's too late
00:37:07Dad don't listen to him
00:37:09Sir it's true
00:37:10They're ordinary people
00:37:11I know them
00:37:12They're nothing
00:37:13She's not wrong
00:37:15I am just an ordinary man
00:37:17Richard
00:37:18You heard them
00:37:19You humiliated my son
00:37:21Over some nobody
00:37:21You better have a damn
00:37:23Good explanation
00:37:25Believe whatever you want
00:37:27I tried to warn you
00:37:28Gentlemen
00:37:29This whole situation
00:37:30Started with Brandon's behavior
00:37:36The ocean heart?
00:37:38How is that possible?
00:37:49What do you mean by ocean heart?
00:37:52You mean this?
00:37:58Yes
00:37:58That's it
00:37:59That's the ocean heart
00:38:01Desert crown spent
00:38:02250 million dollars
00:38:04To acquire it
00:38:05It was supposed to be handed over
00:38:06To Don Moretti
00:38:08Mr. Reid
00:38:09Are you sure?
00:38:10There must be some mistake
00:38:11No mistake
00:38:12I was there when the auction happened
00:38:14I saw it with my own eyes
00:38:17How did this piece come to be
00:38:18In your possession?
00:38:20Michael
00:38:21Gave it to me
00:38:24Bullshit
00:38:24Why would a tribute meant for Don Moretti
00:38:26End up with some loser like you?
00:38:28How did you get it?
00:38:30Just a little something
00:38:31Someone gave me
00:38:32No big deal
00:38:33No big deal?
00:38:34That necklace is worth over 2 billion dollars
00:38:37And you're calling it no big deal?
00:38:40You're saying someone gave it to you?
00:38:42Who?
00:38:43And don't tell me it was Sophia Marlin
00:38:45President of Desert Crown Holdings
00:38:47Actually you're right
00:38:49It was indeed Sophia who gave it to me
00:38:58Dad this guy's a temp worker
00:39:00Bottom of the food chain
00:39:02How would someone like him know any president?
00:39:04That necklace
00:39:05He's stolen
00:39:08Anthony I've known his family for 5 years
00:39:10Trust me
00:39:13They're nobodies
00:39:14There's no way that's legitimate
00:39:16Interesting theory
00:39:18And it would take real balls to steal from Desert Crown Holdings
00:39:22Some people are poor but honest
00:39:24But stealing something that valuable
00:39:26That's just pathetic
00:39:29That's enough
00:39:30My father is not a thief
00:39:33Thank God I dumped you when I did
00:39:36Otherwise I'd be going down with this train wreck
00:39:38Stealing from Desert Crown?
00:39:41You two are finished
00:39:44I trust Michael completely
00:39:45And I'm certain there's a perfectly reasonable explanation
00:39:49Perhaps you should clarify things?
00:39:53Clarify? What's there to clarify?
00:39:55It was a gift
00:40:00A gift?
00:40:01A gift? Right
00:40:02What's next?
00:40:03You're going to tell us you're Don Moretti himself?
00:40:07Stranger things have happened
00:40:14Unbelievable
00:40:15First he steals the Ocean Heart
00:40:17Now he's claiming to be Don Moretti
00:40:19Old man
00:40:20You've completely lost it
00:40:22A senior executive of Desert Crown?
00:40:25You just signed your own death warrant
00:40:26The Don's been in the shadows for years
00:40:29But that doesn't give every two-bit nobody the right to use his name
00:40:33I was willing to overlook your disrespect earlier
00:40:35But the Ocean Heart?
00:40:37You better have a damn good explanation
00:40:38Or this ends badly for you
00:40:40Dad, forget talking
00:40:42Let's handle this now
00:40:44Guards
00:40:52President Hart!
00:40:53Perfect timing
00:40:54Stand your ground
00:40:56Evelyn, what the hell do you think you're doing?
00:40:59You're protecting a thief?
00:41:00I'm protecting an innocent man from a witch hunt
00:41:03Possession of stolen property
00:41:05I have every right
00:41:06Stolen?
00:41:06You're making accusations without a shred of proof
00:41:09The proof is hanging around your neck
00:41:11So that's how it is
00:41:12You're choosing to go to war with Desert Crown Holdings
00:41:17You're really going to war with Desert Crown for this piece of trash?
00:41:20Evelyn, are you stupid or just completely brainless?
00:41:23Brainless
00:41:23Now, Brandon, that's not fair
00:41:25If she were really that stupid, could she have built Meridian Ventures?
00:41:29My guess?
00:41:30She's just desperate for a man
00:41:32You'd really go up against Desert Crown for me?
00:41:36We're husband and wife
00:41:37We rise together
00:41:38We fall together
00:41:40Besides, I know you didn't do what they're accusing you of
00:41:44Can we talk this through for a second?
00:41:46Stay out of this
00:41:47We've still got our own score to settle
00:41:51You're accusing Mr. Smith of stealing the ocean heart
00:41:54Where's your proof?
00:41:56Proof?
00:41:56It's obvious
00:41:57Are you suggesting I'm framing him?
00:41:59I'm saying there's one person who knows the truth
00:42:01Why don't we ask her?
00:42:04You mean, President Marlowe?
00:42:08Exactly
00:42:08Let her settle this
00:42:10If Sophia shows up and I've recovered the ocean heart
00:42:15She'll owe me
00:42:17Maybe even take me to meet the Don himself
00:42:26What could Anthony Reed possibly want from me?
00:42:34President Marlowe, Mr. Reed is confronting the Don
00:42:37He's threatening to kill him
00:42:40What?
00:42:42Let's go, now
00:42:49Just wait until President Marlowe walks through that door
00:42:53None of you are walking out of here
00:42:55Especially you, Evelyn
00:42:58A small time operation like Meridian Ventures
00:43:02Challenging Desert Crown
00:43:03You'll regret this for the rest of your life
00:43:07I won't regret a thing
00:43:10Anthony, you're the one who's going to have regrets
00:43:12Better start thinking about how you'll explain yourself
00:43:15When Sophia gets here
00:43:19Still running your mouth?
00:43:20You really don't know when to quit, do you?
00:43:23Dad, why are we waiting?
00:43:24Let me break this old bastard's knees
00:43:26And make him crawl out of here like a dog
00:43:27Send a message about what happens when you mess with Desert Crown
00:43:31Patience, son
00:43:32An audience with the president is an opportunity
00:43:35As for his fate, Michael
00:43:38Your stupidity isn't just destroying you
00:43:41You're taking down your little mistress
00:43:43And her entire company
00:43:45You're dragging everyone into the grave with you
00:43:51Anthony
00:43:55You're the one who's about to be ruined
00:44:04President Marlott
00:44:05Forgive my boldness in calling you here
00:44:07But I have something extremely important to report
00:44:09Do tell
00:44:10This man, Michael Smith, stole the Ocean Heart
00:44:13I was about to arrest him and bring him to you and the Don for judgment
00:44:18You're accusing him of theft?
00:44:20With absolute certainty
00:44:21This man is the thief
00:44:24Your accusation means nothing
00:44:26With the president standing right here
00:44:27Your lies won't save you
00:44:29Besides, we have witnesses
00:44:33Oh?
00:44:35Who?
00:44:39President Marlott, I can testify
00:44:41Michael stole the Ocean Heart
00:44:43He's always been shady
00:44:45We can back that up
00:44:49It's true
00:44:50This man has zero respect for Desert Crown's authority
00:44:53You need to make an example out of him
00:44:57They're lying
00:44:58My father would never steal anything
00:45:02Easy, son
00:45:04The truth doesn't change just because they want it to
00:45:08President Marlott, I trust Michael completely
00:45:11I hope you'll investigate this properly
00:45:13And not be manipulated by these people
00:45:16I know exactly what the truth is
00:45:21What if I told you
00:45:23I did give it to him
00:45:30But how is this possible?
00:45:34Everyone out
00:45:35Now
00:45:39Cutting it a little close, weren't you?
00:45:41Traffic
00:45:42You know
00:45:43What is going on?
00:45:44Even the president is taking his side
00:45:46The president of Desert Crown Holdings
00:45:49Giving him the Ocean Heart
00:45:51Brandon
00:45:52What if he's
00:45:53What if he's the Don?
00:45:54If he really is the Don
00:45:55After everything we did to him
00:45:58We're dead
00:45:59What do we do now?
00:46:00Brandon, you have to fix this
00:46:02Fix it!
00:46:03There's nothing to fix!
00:46:04We're all going down!
00:46:07Michael
00:46:08Who are you really?
00:46:10Dad
00:46:10Are you the Don of Desert Crown?
00:46:13The Don?
00:46:15Me?
00:46:15Come on
00:46:16I can barely manage my cleaning supplies
00:46:18Then explain how the president gave you the Ocean Heart
00:46:21She answers to one person
00:46:23The Don
00:46:24Dad
00:46:28Why don't we let President Marlon explain
00:46:30Tell them why you gave me the Ocean Heart
00:46:35The Don still wants to stay hidden
00:46:37But how am I supposed to explain this?
00:46:42Well, Mr. Smith here provided exceptional service as a hotel staff member
00:46:47I was so impressed that I rewarded him with the Ocean Heart
00:46:54That's it?
00:46:55I heard Desert Crown acquired the Ocean Heart at enormous cost
00:46:59Specifically as a gift for the Don
00:47:01The Don of Desert Crown possesses wealth beyond imagination
00:47:05Trillions
00:47:05Something like the Ocean Heart?
00:47:07Probably just a trinket to him
00:47:08Wouldn't you agree, President Marlon?
00:47:15Absolutely
00:47:15The Don would barely notice something like this
00:47:20Thank God
00:47:21He's not the Don
00:47:23The Ocean Heart as a reward for good customer service?
00:47:26He just got insanely lucky
00:47:27The Don operates in complete secrecy
00:47:29You really thought we'd just stumble across it?
00:47:31Mr. Reid, I've received reports that you've been embezzling corporate funds for personal gain
00:47:35The evidence is compelling
00:47:36Take him into custody
00:47:45President Marlon, could you wait a moment?
00:47:48Is there something else?
00:47:50There's a small matter I'd like to ask about if it's not too much trouble
00:47:53Please, Ms. Hart, speak freely
00:47:55I'll share what I can
00:47:56I've heard that Desert Crown hosts a major investment conference every 10 years
00:48:00Is that true?
00:48:01It is
00:48:02The next one is in three months
00:48:03Desert Crown uses these conferences to identify the most promising company in the country
00:48:07Then partners with them exclusively
00:48:10Maximum resources, full backing
00:48:11How do you know all this?
00:48:13Just things I've picked up working around the casinos and hotels
00:48:17Could be wrong, though
00:48:19Actually, Mr. Smith's formation is accurate
00:48:21Are you thinking of participating?
00:48:23Yes
00:48:23Meridian Ventures has grown steadily, but we've plateaued
00:48:26We're confined to the southwest
00:48:27With Desert Crown's backing, we could expand nationwide
00:48:30Maybe even become a top layer in enterprise
00:48:32Ambitious
00:48:33I respect that, Ms. Hart
00:48:34But the final decision rests solely with the dawn
00:48:39I'm probably dreaming
00:48:41The competition will be insane
00:48:43There are dozens of companies more established than Meridian Ventures
00:48:47My chances are slim at best
00:48:49Don't sell yourself short
00:48:52You have one advantage none of them possess
00:48:55What advantage?
00:49:00What do you mean?
00:49:01Evelyn, I'm certain you'll succeed
00:49:05But it's getting late
00:49:06We should let her go
00:49:08Right
00:49:09Of course
00:49:10President Marla, thank you for your time
00:49:12I'll see you at the investment conference
00:49:18Oh, I almost forgot
00:49:20I found us a new place this afternoon
00:49:22Our new home
00:49:26Moving in together already?
00:49:27Well, we are legally married now
00:49:31Can't back out now
00:49:32Aaron
00:49:32Aaron, would you like to come see it too?
00:49:35No thanks
00:49:36Don't want to be the third wheel on your newlywed tour
00:49:40Alright then, let's go
00:49:56So what do you think of the neighborhood?
00:49:58Quite nice
00:50:00But these homes must be expensive
00:50:04Comfort isn't cheap
00:50:08Besides, I'm paying
00:50:09Why worry?
00:50:13Makes me feel a little like dead weight
00:50:17Nonsense
00:50:17Just sit back and enjoy the good fortune while it lasts
00:50:24I think I left my phone in the car
00:50:26Our place is just ahead of this path here
00:50:28Number one
00:50:31I'll catch up in a minute
00:50:32Alright
00:50:43Michael?
00:50:45Linda Carter
00:50:46Is that you?
00:50:47What are the odds?
00:50:48It's been years
00:50:54Linda, who is this?
00:50:59An old high school classmate
00:51:0020 years ago
00:51:01He was popular back then
00:51:03All the girls had crushes on him
00:51:04But from what I've heard
00:51:05He hasn't exactly set the world on fire
00:51:07No real job to speak of
00:51:08Still bitter about me turning you down, huh?
00:51:11Bitter?
00:51:12Please
00:51:12I'd completely forgotten until you brought it up
00:51:15I must have been blind back then
00:51:16School popularity doesn't pay the bills
00:51:18Reality has a way of humbling people
00:51:21So, Michael
00:51:22What are you doing here exactly?
00:51:24How did security even let you in?
00:51:26This is an exclusive community
00:51:28Let me in?
00:51:30I live here
00:51:33You're joking
00:51:34You live here?
00:51:35Do you have any idea
00:51:37What kind of people can afford this place?
00:51:38This is Cloud Heights
00:51:40The most exclusive community in Nevada
00:51:42Every homeowner here is either wealthy or connected
00:51:44So take a good look in the mirror
00:51:46Do you really think you belong?
00:51:48I have no reason to lie
00:51:49It took us decades of hard work
00:51:51And the right connections
00:51:52Just to afford the smallest lot in this place
00:51:54So if you really live here, Michael
00:51:56Which house is yours?
00:51:57The big one
00:51:58At the top of the hill
00:51:59Number one
00:52:01What?
00:52:03If you're gonna lie
00:52:04At least make it believable
00:52:05That estate's worth over a billion dollars
00:52:07Money alone can't buy it
00:52:08You need connections
00:52:09At the highest levels
00:52:10But we're old classmates
00:52:11There's no need for this act
00:52:13If you really live in the biggest house here
00:52:14Prove it
00:52:15I don't need to prove anything to you
00:52:16Because you can't
00:52:17Fine
00:52:18If you insist
00:52:20This ought to be good
00:52:23I thought this path led straight there
00:52:25It should be around here somewhere
00:52:29Excuse me
00:52:29Which way to number one?
00:52:31Top of the hill
00:52:32Did you hear that?
00:52:33He doesn't even know where it is
00:52:35Michael, just stop
00:52:36You're only embarrassing yourself
00:52:37We'll see about that
00:52:42This should be good
00:52:43Let's watch him crash and burn
00:52:52Don't you two have anything better to do than following me?
00:52:55You really committed to the bit
00:52:56Walking all the way up here
00:52:57But you didn't actually think we'd fall for it, did you?
00:53:00Do we look that stupid?
00:53:01Unless you can prove you're the owner
00:53:03And if I can
00:53:04If you're really the owner
00:53:05I'll get on my knees and lick your shoes
00:53:07You said it
00:53:10Access granted
00:53:11Welcome home
00:53:19How is this possible?
00:53:22You can't possibly own this place
00:53:24If I weren't the owner
00:53:25How'd I get in?
00:53:27A promise is a promise
00:53:29I'm still waiting for you to get on your knees
00:53:31This doesn't prove anything
00:53:33Look at your clothes
00:53:34You're probably just the hired help
00:53:36Exactly
00:53:36It's the only explanation
00:53:38Are you serious?
00:53:40Can't handle losing?
00:53:41What more proof do you need?
00:53:43You know what?
00:53:44Forget it, Michael
00:53:45Keep playing pretend if it makes you feel better
00:53:48Come on, honey
00:53:48We're wasting our time with this clown
00:53:53Who are they?
00:53:55Old acquaintance
00:53:55Very unpleasant
00:53:57They seemed upset
00:53:59Some people just can't handle being wrong
00:54:02Well, their loss
00:54:03Shall we?
00:54:04After you
00:54:12Hey, sis
00:54:13You're finally back
00:54:14What are you doing here?
00:54:16How did you even get in here?
00:54:17You weren't answering your phone
00:54:18You weren't at the office
00:54:19Where else was I supposed to wait?
00:54:22Michael
00:54:22This is my brother
00:54:24Daniel
00:54:24Daniel
00:54:25This is Michael
00:54:26My husband
00:54:29You've got some nerve
00:54:30Getting married without telling anyone?
00:54:33Dad almost had another heart attack
00:54:34Back when he found out
00:54:35Dad's been nagging me to get married for years
00:54:38Now that I have
00:54:39He's complaining?
00:54:41And this is who you chose?
00:54:43That's right!
00:54:43You must be blind
00:54:44Look at him
00:54:45He's at least seven or eight years older than you
00:54:47Doesn't have a real job
00:54:48And it's not like he's got Jake Zelting's looks or anything
00:54:50What about him is worthy of you?
00:54:52Well, that's not very polite at all now, is it?
00:54:55We are brothers now
00:54:56In law
00:55:01Brother-in-law!
00:55:02I don't think so!
00:55:04You could have anyone
00:55:05Young entrepreneurs
00:55:07Tech moguls
00:55:08Heirs to billion dollar fortunes
00:55:10Every match we set you up with was better than this!
00:55:13My life is none of your business!
00:55:16But you're my sister!
00:55:18How can I stand by and watch you get taken advantage of?
00:55:21Tell me the truth!
00:55:23What kind of con are you running here?
00:55:27That's enough, Daniel!
00:55:29Stop this nonsense!
00:55:31Enough?
00:55:32The Hart family has a reputation to protect
00:55:35You marrying this guy would make us a joke in every boardroom in Vegas
00:55:39I don't care what they think
00:55:44Let's cut through the bullshit
00:55:46How much do you want?
00:55:48Five million?
00:55:49Ten?
00:55:50Name your number and disappear
00:55:53Money?
00:55:55That's not what I care about
00:56:00Then I guess we do this the hard way
00:56:09Oh, no!
00:56:30Ah!
00:56:33Ah!
00:56:34Ah!
00:56:43Three seconds, four seconds, five seconds.
00:56:55Nice pen.
00:57:09You, you can't.
00:57:16I believe you were about to leave.
00:57:19You heard my husband.
00:57:26This isn't finished, not by a long shot.
00:57:37Where did you learn to fight like that?
00:57:43Here and there.
00:57:45I can't believe you just...
00:57:47That was so dangerous.
00:57:55You ruined your clothes, too.
00:57:57Boys, come on.
00:57:59Let's get you cleaned up, tough guy.
00:58:07I'm humiliated by a damn janitor.
00:58:12I didn't want to do this, but I'm left with no choice.
00:58:19Victor?
00:58:20Yeah, about that favor you owe me.
00:58:22It's Daniel Hart.
00:58:23My sister just married some old maintenance worker,
00:58:26and she's still desperate for Desert Crown's backing.
00:58:29I was wondering if you could...
00:58:33Tonight?
00:58:34That fast?
00:58:36Perfect.
00:58:37I'll make sure she's there.
00:58:46This contact Daniel's talking about,
00:58:49you think they actually have pull with Desert Crown?
00:58:52Or is this just more of his usual hot air?
00:58:57It's late, Eve.
00:58:58We could do this tomorrow.
00:58:59Fresh eyes, clear heads.
00:59:03You don't get it.
00:59:04This is everything.
00:59:06If I don't take every shot I can,
00:59:08I'll never forgive myself.
00:59:09Here's the thing.
00:59:09From what I understand,
00:59:10the final call at the investment conference
00:59:12belongs to the Don.
00:59:13Period.
00:59:14So even if this mystery contact has connections,
00:59:17can they really override that?
00:59:19Maybe not.
00:59:20But I still have to try.
00:59:22Wait for me outside, okay?
00:59:23I won't be long.
00:59:40A bar?
00:59:41Seriously?
00:59:42Who meets at a place like this for business?
00:59:46You want answers?
00:59:48They're through that door.
00:59:59Allow me to introduce you to Victor Castellona,
01:00:02son of Desert Crown's Chancellor.
01:00:09The Chancellor's son?
01:00:16Please have a seat.
01:00:23Chancellor?
01:00:24I've heard of the Don and President Marlowe,
01:00:26but this position seems new?
01:00:28Shows how much you don't know.
01:00:29The Don runs Desert Crown Holdings,
01:00:32but directly under him,
01:00:33two key positions.
01:00:35The President and the Chancellor.
01:00:39Your brother's right.
01:00:41Think of Desert Crown as more than a company.
01:00:44It's an empire.
01:00:46President Marlin handles the business side,
01:00:49the legitimate operations.
01:00:51My father?
01:00:52He manages everything else.
01:00:54The machinery that keeps the wheels turning.
01:00:58I see.
01:00:59And the investment conference?
01:01:01I can help.
01:01:02I won't promise you'll win.
01:01:04That would be dishonest.
01:01:06But I can significantly improve Meridian Venture's odds.
01:01:11Stack the deck in your favor, so to speak.
01:01:14That would be incredible.
01:01:15Name your price.
01:01:17Whatever the outcome,
01:01:18you'll be compensated fairly.
01:01:20Please.
01:01:21I don't need compensation.
01:01:23I have everything money can buy.
01:01:26Consider this a gesture of friendship.
01:01:31To new partnerships
01:01:33and mutual success.
01:01:39The man's offering to help you crack into Desert Crown.
01:01:41The least you can do is share a drink.
01:02:01I've heard plenty about Meridian Ventures.
01:02:04They say you're the most beautiful woman in Las Vegas.
01:02:09But the rumors,
01:02:11they don't even come close.
01:02:15It's getting late.
01:02:16I should go.
01:02:19I need to get back to my home.
01:02:26The drink.
01:02:28It was...
01:02:29It was...
01:02:30What's happening?
01:02:31What's wrong?
01:02:36Congratulations, boss.
01:02:37The most untouchable woman in Vegas?
01:02:40Not so untouchable anymore.
01:02:43You.
01:02:45I had to fight.
01:02:47Oh, you did more than that.
01:02:49Thanks to Michael and that bitch Sophia,
01:02:51I lost everything.
01:02:53My position,
01:02:54my reputation.
01:02:55Now,
01:02:56I'm even facing federal prison.
01:02:58Victor,
01:02:59what the hell is this?
01:03:01What's this?
01:03:02You really are as stupid as you look.
01:03:05You think Victor gives a damn
01:03:06about some trust fund baby
01:03:07with a gambling problem?
01:03:08He was never interested in you,
01:03:10you idiot.
01:03:11He wanted your sister.
01:03:27What's taking so long?
01:03:29What's taking so long?
01:03:33Why are you doing this?
01:03:35You really need to ask.
01:03:37A woman like you,
01:03:39powerful,
01:03:40untouchable,
01:03:41beautiful,
01:03:42you made yourself irresistible.
01:03:44Victor,
01:03:45if you touch my sister,
01:03:46I'll kill you!
01:03:54I'm not just going to touch her,
01:03:56Daniel.
01:03:56I'm going to make you watch
01:03:58every single second.
01:04:00And you're going to remember
01:04:01this moment
01:04:01for the rest
01:04:02of your pathetic life.
01:04:06No, please!
01:04:08Let her go!
01:04:09Shut this loser up.
01:04:11I have
01:04:12a husband.
01:04:14He'll find you.
01:04:16That old jammeter?
01:04:17Please.
01:04:18He hasn't even touched you yet,
01:04:19has he?
01:04:20Which means you're still
01:04:21mine to claim.
01:04:22A gift, really.
01:04:24Unopened.
01:04:24No!
01:04:33Get your filthy hands
01:04:34off her!
01:04:38Michael.
01:04:40I have guards outside.
01:04:42How did you get in?
01:04:43Those rent-a-thugs?
01:04:44They weren't much
01:04:44of an obstacle.
01:04:45As a member of
01:04:46Desert Crown Holdings,
01:04:47you should know better
01:04:48than to act like this.
01:04:49Or aren't you afraid
01:04:49of what happens
01:04:50when the organization
01:04:51finds out?
01:04:52Finds out?
01:04:53About what?
01:04:54A business meeting?
01:04:56Old man,
01:04:56you really don't
01:04:57understand how this works.
01:04:58Victor's the chancellor's son.
01:04:59Nobody in Desert Crown
01:05:00would dare touch him.
01:05:01Nobody.
01:05:01Even President Marlon
01:05:02thinks twice before
01:05:03crossing me.
01:05:04I'm untouchable.
01:05:05What about the Don?
01:05:07The Don?
01:05:10He operates at a level
01:05:11so far above this
01:05:12he wouldn't even notice.
01:05:15I suggest you turn around,
01:05:17walk out,
01:05:18and pretend you were
01:05:19never here.
01:05:19The Don?

01:10:32capital verification right here right now
01:10:34the company my family backs has 90 billion in liquid assets
01:10:37with some strategic liquidations we could push past 100 billion without breaking a sweat
01:10:42but that's immense
01:10:43it's impossible
01:10:44we scraped together 50 billion that's everything we can't compete with that

01:11:26how does someone like you have a desert crown royal card who the hell are you
01:11:29does it matter
01:11:30what matters is that meridian adventures just passed capital verification with room to spare
