00:00:01Easy does it, sweetheart.
00:00:03I got us a penthouse suite, especially for you.
00:00:07I am...
00:00:08I called me.
00:00:10Not a chance, Birdie.
00:00:12Your cage is locked, and I've got the key.
00:00:15Help me.
00:00:17Help me, please.
00:00:21Let the lady go.
00:00:33I'd stick to your chores, old man.
00:00:35Or doesn't the name Snake Eyes Sladger mean anything to you?
00:00:41I've never cared for childish nicknames.
00:00:44Why don't you just make this easy and let her go?
00:00:47Who the hell do you think you are?
00:00:52Break his legs, both of them.
00:00:53Leave him bleeding in the parking garage.
00:01:24Who? Who are you?
00:01:39Are you okay?
00:01:40Don't worry.
00:01:41I will get you to safety.
00:01:43You're dead, you hear me?
00:01:45Dead!
00:01:52What are you idiots waiting for?
00:01:54Kill him!
00:01:54Kill him!
00:02:08Wait, that's the president of Desert Crown Holdings.
00:02:11What is she doing here?
00:02:13Don Moretti.
00:02:15Don Moretti?
00:02:23I thought I made myself clear.
00:02:25Don't bother me unless somebody is dying, or we're bankrupt.
00:02:29So which is it?
00:02:30The board has convened.
00:02:32They are requesting you chair the meeting.
00:02:33The board can't handle anything themselves, can they?
00:02:36Tell them they can wait till morning.
00:02:37I have plans with my son this evening.
00:02:39I'm sorry, sir, but I don't think this one can wait.
00:02:44Sir?
00:02:45Who is she?
00:02:46Long story.
00:02:48Get her home safe.
00:02:51Yes, sir.
00:02:52What should we do with him?
00:02:54You idiot!
00:02:56Brandishing knives in public?
00:02:57What if someone got hurt?
00:03:01A total misunderstanding, Domboretti.
00:03:03I'm so honored to make your acquaintance.
00:03:05You can call me Richie.
00:03:06Richie?
00:03:07What happened to tough guy, snake-eye, sledge?
00:03:09Here before you now, sir, I am but a worm, unworthy of your attention.
00:03:12Please, it was all a misunderstanding.
00:03:13If you ever slither near another woman like that again,
00:03:16I'll skin you alive and make myself a nice wallet.
00:03:20Now get the hell out of my sight.
00:03:21I'm so honored to be able to do that again.
00:03:39Dad?
00:03:40Babe, what are you looking at?
00:03:42Nothing.
00:03:43Don Moretti, the annual report for Desert Crown Holdings.
00:03:58Hey, Aaron.
00:03:59Were you just outside the Desert Crown?
00:04:01I thought I may have seen you.
00:04:05You must be tired, kiddo.
00:04:07I'm running errands across town.
00:04:09Hey, don't stay out too late.
00:04:10I'm just dropping Vanessa off.
00:04:12Oh, just a heads up.
00:04:14Oh.
00:04:15It may or may not have signed you up on a dating site,
00:04:18and you've got a blind date tomorrow.
00:04:19What?
00:04:20Thanks, bye.
00:04:21A blind date?
00:04:26A blind date?
00:04:27That kid's lost his mind.
00:04:29His heart's in the right place, I'm sure.
00:04:31His heart, maybe.
00:04:31But his brain?
00:04:33Permanently set to airplane mode.
00:04:35How long do you plan on hiding your identity from him?
00:04:37I made a promise to his mother.
00:04:39Raise him right.
00:04:40Keep him grounded.
00:04:42But I worry he's too good-hearted.
00:04:43He sees the best in others, but can't see the bad.
00:04:48He's a long way from taking over for me.
00:04:51You'd really move mountains for him, wouldn't you?
00:04:59What's this?
00:05:00The heart of the ocean for your date tomorrow.
00:05:02Diamonds tend to go over well with the ladies.
00:05:05Don't remind me.
00:05:14So you're Vera Springs?
00:05:17Minus the filters and professional lighting.
00:05:19Look, I'm not here to waste time.
00:05:21You want to marry me?
00:05:22You'd better have a six-fidger income.
00:05:24Sorry, go on.
00:05:26And my son's getting married soon.
00:05:27He's going to need a new house.
00:05:29And a car, too.
00:05:30Something European, like a Porsche or a Mercedes.
00:05:34Oh, and I'll need a monthly allowance.
00:05:36Hair, nails, Botox, designer bag.
00:05:39You know, $10,000 a month ought to cover it all.
00:05:41I'm sorry, do I have walking ATM tattooed on my forehead?
00:05:44ATM?
00:05:45Please.
00:05:46What I'm asking for is practically a clearance sale.
00:05:48Oh my God, it's him.
00:05:50So, Miss Springs, let me ask you something.
00:05:51What exactly do you bring to this relationship?
00:05:53I'm a full-time housewife, but my son, he works in development at Meridian Ventures, the biggest company in Nevada.
00:06:00Marry me, and you can ride his coattails straight to early retirement.
00:06:03Speaking of, what do you do for a living?
00:06:05You'll be disappointed.
00:06:06I do odd jobs here and there.
00:06:08Whatever pays minimum wage.
00:06:10Minimum wage?
00:06:11Are you kidding me?
00:06:12And you call this a date?
00:06:13Do you normally just waste people's time like this?
00:06:21Miss Hart, we found him.
00:06:23The man who saved you last night.
00:06:25Michael Smith, he's a local.
00:06:27Would you like me to send him a thank you?
00:06:28No.
00:06:29I'll deliver it in person.
00:06:33Come on, show a little respect.
00:06:35Respect is earned with money.
00:06:37And you're broke.
00:06:38Everyone, take a look at this loser who shows up to a date with nothing but the clothes on his
00:06:42back.
00:06:43Lady, if I'm not what you're looking for, you're free to walk out that door.
00:06:46No need to make a scene.
00:06:49Look at yourself.
00:06:50Dead broke.
00:06:52Gray hair.
00:06:54Going downhill fast.
00:06:56What woman would ever want you?
00:06:58I would.
00:07:04And who the hell are you?
00:07:06Someone who knows a real man when she sees one.
00:07:08Your date's over.
00:07:10He's with me now.
00:07:11You'd actually want this penniless old man?
00:07:14You must be truly desperate.
00:07:15Shut your mouth before I shut it for you.
00:07:18Oh, so threatening.
00:07:20You don't scare me.
00:07:24How dare you hit me!
00:07:26Say another word and I'll do it again.
00:07:28You have no idea who you're messing with.
00:07:30My son is very powerful at Meridian Ventures.
00:07:33You're finished!
00:07:34Meridian Ventures?
00:07:35How interesting.
00:07:36Tell him I'll be waiting.
00:07:44Who the hell put their hands on my mother?
00:07:46It's them, son!
00:07:47You, a washed up old man, and a bitch with some nerve.
00:07:51Huh.
00:07:51You look familiar.
00:07:53Think real hard.
00:07:54Who am I?
00:07:55Doesn't matter.
00:07:57You mess with my mom, you pay.
00:08:02How dare you threaten the president of Meridian Ventures!
00:08:11The president?
00:08:15Hugh Springs it is.
00:08:17Consider this your official, immediate termination.
00:08:20Take your disgrace of a mother and get out of here.
00:08:30I don't think we've been properly introduced.
00:08:32Though I do think I owe you my life.
00:08:34That bit with the poker chips was very impressive.
00:08:37How did you know it was me?
00:08:39Mr. Smith.
00:08:41I believe you'll remember.
00:08:42I am the president and CEO of Meridian Ventures.
00:08:45If I want to find someone, nobody can stop me.
00:08:48Now it looks like you are missing your date.
00:08:50Mind if I fill it?
00:08:52It wouldn't be much of a date if I was alone, now would it?
00:08:55Indeed.
00:08:57What could you possibly see in me?
00:08:59I'm a casino maintenance guy.
00:09:01A janitor, basically.
00:09:02I barely scrape by.
00:09:04Your character.
00:09:05Money doesn't matter to me.
00:09:07I have more than I know what to do with.
00:09:09But character?
00:09:10That's rare.
00:09:11I'm much older than you.
00:09:13Not a problem.
00:09:14I'm into that.
00:09:15Okay, how about this?
00:09:17I have a 20-year-old son.
00:09:18A ready-made family just waiting for the right woman to enter their lives?
00:09:21Perfect.
00:09:22Anything else?
00:09:26I'm out of objections.
00:09:28Great.
00:09:29Let's get going then.
00:09:31Going?
00:09:31Where?
00:09:32To get married, obviously.
00:09:33This is Vegas, after all.
00:09:35Whoa.
00:09:36Let me catch my breath.
00:09:37If we're really doing this, I have three ground rules.
00:09:40I'm listening.
00:09:41First, your 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, boundaries.
00:09:47We respect each other's space.
00:09:49Mutual respect.
00:09:50Minimal meddling.
00:09:51And third?
00:09:51My son never had a mom.
00:09:53When we're married, treat him like your own.
00:09:58Deal.
00:09:59I agree to all of it.
00:10:00Now, before you find any more rules, let's go.
00:10:06This is moving so fast.
00:10:09Speed is the new romance.
00:10:11All the kids are doing it.
00:10:12You got to 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, that reminds me.
00:10:30For me?
00:10:32Just a 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, how 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.
00:11:01You can close your mouth now.
00:11:02Oh, cut me some slack.
00:11:06Sophia, you think she knows who I really am?
00:11:08Impossible.
00:11:09Your identity is buried deep.
00:11:10Only 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.
00:11:28Mrs. Hart, I've come across a few things about Michael's son.
00:11:32His fiancée works for us.
00:11:34Vanessa Cole, she's an intern in administration.
00:11:37Just started last month.
00:11:39An intern?
00:11:39Call HR.
00:11:41Promote her to director of administration.
00:11:43Effective immediately.
00:11:44Director?
00:11:44But, Ms. Hart, she's only been with us three weeks.
00:11:47She doesn't have the experience or the qualifications.
00:11:49She's family now.
00:11:50My family will train her, mentor her, help her grow into the position.
00:11:58Was that Michael?
00:12:05Tiff!
00:12:06Chloe, you made it!
00:12:07Girl, you booked Desert Crown for your birthday?
00:12:09My Instagram is about to explode.
00:12:11Aaron must have maxed out every credit card he owns.
00:12:13Maybe sold a kidney, too.
00:12:16Anything for my girl.
00:12:17You're the best, sweetie.
00:12:24Oh, my God, it's Brandon Reed!
00:12:26Sorry I'm late.
00:12:27We couldn't have booked the lounge without you.
00:12:30Money alone doesn't cut it here.
00:12:31Say thank you.
00:12:33Thanks, Brandon.
00:12:34Don't thank me.
00:12:35Thank the family name.
00:12:37My father will swing by later.
00:12:38But don't get all weird about it.
00:12:40He hates ass-kissers.
00:12:42I'll thank him personally.
00:12:43Brandon's got it all.
00:12:45Connections, talent, looks.
00:12:47And he's the youngest manager at Meridian Ventures.
00:12:49Like, how?
00:12:57These quarterly numbers are solid.
00:12:59I'm very happy with what you've accomplished.
00:13:01Thank you, sir.
00:13:02One more thing.
00:13:03I want to expand our charitable foundation.
00:13:06Starting next quarter, we'll dedicate 5% of annual revenue.
00:13:10Dad?
00:13:17Aaron, your dad, he's...
00:13:20What does your old man do, exactly?
00:13:23Ladies and gentlemen, the valet parking is just around the corner.
00:13:27I can show you...
00:13:28We'll find our own way.
00:13:33Dad, what are you doing here?
00:13:35Picked up some temp work.
00:13:37They needed extra hands for a big convention.
00:13:39200 bucks a day, cash.
00:13:41Hey, Vanessa.
00:13:42Happy birthday, sweetheart.
00:13:45Hi.
00:13:47200 a day?
00:13:48Jesus.
00:13:49What are you kids doing here?
00:13:50It's Vanessa's birthday party.
00:13:52We're celebrating.
00:13:53This place...
00:13:54Must be expensive.
00:13:57Dad, it's fine.
00:13:58Really.
00:13:58Well, don't let me keep you.
00:13:59Have fun.
00:14:02Hold up, valet boy.
00:14:05Park my car.
00:14:08Are you talking to me?
00:14:09Yeah, you.
00:14:10And be careful with it.
00:14:12You put one scratch on my ride, and I'll have you selling organs to pay me back.
00:14:16Brandon!
00:14:17Come on, man.
00:14:17It's my dad.
00:14:18So?
00:14:18He works here, doesn't he?
00:14:20Staff parks cars.
00:14:21That's how it works.
00:14:22Ha ha ha.
00:14:24Ha ha ha.
00:14:27There.
00:14:28Now it's a paid service.
00:14:30Still feel disrespected?
00:14:38Easy money.
00:14:39Thanks for the tip.
00:14:40Dad.
00:14:42After you park it, swing by our private room.
00:14:44We'll need someone to pour drinks.
00:14:47Right, guys?
00:14:48Absolutely.
00:14:49That's enough, Brandon.
00:14:50What's the problem?
00:14:51Sounds like your family could use a little extra spending money.
00:14:54You...
00:14:54Easy, son.
00:14:55It's okay.
00:14:59Thank you all so much for coming.
00:15:02And especially to my amazing fiancé, Aaron.
00:15:05This whole party is because of him.
00:15:08Oh!
00:15:12Anything for you, Vanessa.
00:15:15Hello?
00:15:17Hey, Van.
00:15:18It's the head of HR.
00:15:20For you.
00:15:20Is everything all right?
00:15:21Congratulations, Vanessa Cole.
00:15:23Effective immediately, you're being promoted to director of administration.
00:15:27Director?
00:15:28Me?
00:15:29Base salary, two million, plus a corner office.
00:15:33Van!
00:15:34That's incredible!
00:15:36Two million a year?
00:15:38You made it!
00:15:39President Hart must really see something special in you.
00:15:42Your future's set.
00:15:43Hell, even I'm jealous.
00:15:45Meridian Vengeance.
00:15:47That's Evelyn's company.
00:15:48I need a minute.
00:15:50This is so sudden.
00:15:51Wait, is this for real?
00:15:52You just started as an intern three weeks ago.
00:15:55How does someone jump straight to director?
00:15:57What's that supposed to mean?
00:15:58You think she's not good enough?
00:15:59Sounds like jealousy to me.
00:16:01She's my fiancé.
00:16:02Of course I want her to succeed.
00:16:03But this doesn't make any sense.
00:16:06That's not what it sounds like you're saying.
00:16:08Do you really think I don't deserve this?
00:16:15Vanessa, no!
00:16:15That's not what I meant!
00:16:16I don't want to hear it.
00:16:18Enough with the drama.
00:16:20You, over here.
00:16:23See this champagne?
00:16:24It's from France.
00:16:26That's a country across the ocean.
00:16:28Each glass is quite expensive.
00:16:31I'm feeling generous tonight.
00:16:33I'll let you have a glass if you give our dear Vanessa a toast
00:16:36and let us all know just how wrong Aaron is about her.
00:16:40Brandon, leave my dad out of this.
00:16:42I'm doing him a favor.
00:16:43How else would he ever get to taste such fine spirits?
00:16:47What's the problem, Aaron?
00:16:48You can't let anybody say anything nice about me?
00:16:50Vanessa, how can you say that?
00:16:52My dad has nothing to do with this.
00:16:53Just keep him out of it.
00:16:54I'm a director now.
00:16:55What's wrong with celebrating my achievements?
00:16:57Hello?
00:16:58Michael, where are you?
00:17:00I'm...
00:17:00He's busy toasting Vanessa, the birthday girl!
00:17:06Vanessa?
00:17:07His future daughter-in-law?
00:17:09Daughter-in-law?
00:17:10I'm never marrying into this family, you old hag!
00:17:16Old hag?
00:17:17Has the promotion letter been delivered?
00:17:19It should have arrived.
00:17:22Good.
00:17:23Prepare the gifts.
00:17:24I'm going there myself.
00:17:32Vanessa?
00:17:35Are you saying you won't marry me?
00:17:36You heard me.
00:17:37It's over.
00:17:38We're done.
00:17:39But why?
00:17:41Excuse me, is there a Mrs. Vanessa Cole here?
00:17:44That's me!
00:17:44Your official promotion letter from Meridian Ventures.
00:17:51Aaron, since you're so desperate to know...
00:17:54I'll tell you!
00:17:55See this?
00:17:55I earned this.
00:17:56All on my own.
00:17:57President Evelyn Hart herself recognized my potential.
00:18:00I went from intern to director at a trillion-dollar company in no time.
00:18:03And you?
00:18:03What do you have that even comes close?
00:18:06I'm not good enough for you anymore?
00:18:07Face it.
00:18:09She's moved up, man.
00:18:10Out of your league, on another level, whatever you want to call it.
00:18:14After today, Vanessa's headed for the penthouse.
00:18:17You'll still be crawling in the butter where you've always been.
00:18:20Five years together, erased by one piece of paper?
00:18:24I need a partner who can stand beside me, not some dead weight I have to carry.
00:18:29You're a liability, not an asset.
00:18:31Fine.
00:18:32I get it now.
00:18:34It's all my fault for aiming out of my league.
00:18:48Old ham, huh?
00:18:52Let's see what makes them think they can disrespect me and my family like that.
00:18:57Sometimes it's better to see someone's true colors sooner rather than later.
00:19:01It's never easy, though.
00:19:03You're right, Dad.
00:19:05I just hate myself for being so blind, for not seeing who she really was.
00:19:08There's no need for hate.
00:19:09The only thing you can do now is learn from your mistakes and do better next time.
00:19:13Lord knows I've made plenty of mistakes.
00:19:15How else do you think your old man got where he is today, huh?
00:19:17Dad, I get it now.
00:19:20Let's just go.
00:19:20Go?
00:19:21You think it's that easy?
00:19:23Hold on a minute.
00:19:25Why the rush?
00:19:26What else could you possibly want from us?
00:19:28An apology.
00:19:29You embarrassed me in front of everyone, questioning my promotion in front of everybody.
00:19:34I think we should all just take a step back and cool off a bit.
00:19:37Cool off?
00:19:39Let me make this simple.
00:19:40You don't leave until I say so.
00:19:42When Vanessa gives an order, you follow it.
00:19:44Unless you want me to break your legs.
00:19:48Let's just calm down before you do anything that you will regret.
00:19:51Regret what?
00:19:52There's nothing you can do.
00:19:53Dad, let me handle this.
00:19:57Vanessa.
00:19:58Director Vanessa.
00:19:59I'm sorry.
00:20:00I shouldn't have questioned you.
00:20:01You clearly earned this promotion.
00:20:03You deserve it.
00:20:04I hope you are happy with your new life.
00:20:20Can we leave now?
00:20:26Are you just going to leave all the money Brandon generously paid you?
00:20:30Go on.
00:20:30Pick it up.
00:20:31Every bill.
00:20:32That's right.
00:20:33Get on your knees.
00:20:35Pick it all up.
00:20:36Then crawl out of here like the dogs you are.
00:20:44Crawl out like dogs?
00:20:47You've got some nerve.
00:20:51President Hart, this is just some understanding.
00:20:53These two crashed the party and started causing problems.
00:20:56I may have gotten a little heated, but...
00:20:57Do you think I'm blind?
00:20:59I'll deal with you later.
00:21:00Read it.
00:21:01This isn't right.
00:21:02Something's off.
00:21:03One villa at Desert Crown Resort.
00:21:05One limited edition Maserati.
00:21:08Ten luxury items including Pat Philippe, Rolex, and Hermes pieces.
00:21:15And a check for $10 million.
00:21:21What the hell?
00:21:23Oh my god!
00:21:24This has to be for you!
00:21:26For me?
00:21:28Think about it.
00:21:29You jump from intern to director in one day.
00:21:31The president obviously sees something special in you.
00:21:34She came here personally to reward you.
00:21:35You really think so?
00:21:39Quiet.
00:21:39She's coming this way.
00:21:41I...
00:21:42I don't deserve such an honor.
00:21:56Wait.
00:21:58They're not for Vanessa.
00:22:00Aaron Smith, these are for you.
00:22:03I...
00:22:03What?
00:22:04For me?
00:22:05No!
00:22:06This can't be happening!
00:22:09President Hart, there's been a mistake.
00:22:10You just promoted me to director.
00:22:12I'm the one you value.
00:22:14Aaron is nobody!
00:22:16He's nothing!
00:22:21You?
00:22:22Worthy of these gifts?
00:22:23You're not even worthy of the paper this is printed on.
00:22:30Aaron, it's wonderful to finally meet you.
00:22:32I didn't know what you'd like, so I sort of got you a little of everything.
00:22:35I hope that's okay.
00:22:36We've never met.
00:22:37Why would you give me all this?
00:22:39Michael, you haven't mentioned me yet?
00:22:41I...
00:22:42haven't found the right moment.
00:22:43What exactly is your relationship with these two losers?
00:22:47Do the words old hag ring any bells?
00:22:51What?
00:22:56Michael, I imagine this is as good a time as any to let the boy know.
00:23:00Dad, what's going on?
00:23:03Son, I have somebody I'd like you to meet.
00:23:05This is Evelyn Hart, my wife.
00:23:09Wife?
00:23:10It's true.
00:23:11Though when we get to know each other better, I'd prefer you call me Mom.
00:23:14Mom?
00:23:15Dad, what the hell is going on?
00:23:16You've been on my case for years about finding someone.
00:23:18Well, I did.
00:23:24What?
00:23:26What have I done?
00:23:28Seems like nobody here thinks I've got any game.
00:23:30Don't worry about it, dear.
00:23:31I know what I got.
00:23:32Oh, Eve, about these gifts.
00:23:34They're too much.
00:23:35You should take them back.
00:23:36Don't be ridiculous.
00:23:37They're tokens, nothing more.
00:23:38We had an agreement, remember?
00:23:39Fine.
00:23:40Aaron can decide.
00:23:41Whether you keep them or not, it's up to you.
00:23:51I appreciate the generosity.
00:23:53I really do.
00:23:54But I'm young.
00:23:55I'm capable.
00:23:58I'd rather earn these things than be handed them.
00:24:11That will be all.
00:24:13If you hadn't dumped him, you'd be President Hart's daughter-in-law right now.
00:24:16You could have run Meridian Ventures someday.
00:24:18I had my entire future set and I just threw it away like an idiot.
00:24:22Maybe not.
00:24:23Aaron still cares about you.
00:24:25I can see it.
00:24:26There might be a way back in.
00:24:27Who cares about pride?
00:24:29Do you want this life or not?
00:24:31All you need to think about is wearing your Chanel earrings and carrying the latest Hermes
00:24:35bag to your new Maserati.
00:24:37Aaron, can we talk?
00:24:39About what?
00:24:40We had five years together.
00:24:42That has to count for something.
00:24:43I know I messed up.
00:24:44I'm asking you to forgive me.
00:24:45Please, don't let it end like this.
00:24:47He's so easy.
00:24:49Always has been.
00:24:50You humiliated me today, Aaron.
00:24:52I'll make that later.
00:24:53Don't touch me!
00:24:55Get your dirty hands off of me!
00:24:57Aaron, you...
00:25:02Aaron...
00:25:03I gave you five years of my life and the second you got a taste of power, you tossed me
00:25:07aside
00:25:07like garbage and insulted my father to his face.
00:25:12You really thought I'd take you back?
00:25:14I apologize!
00:25:15What more do you want?
00:25:18Honestly, I liked you better when you were arrogant.
00:25:20At least then you were honest about who you are.
00:25:22Aaron, please.
00:25:23For everything we had, let's start over.
00:25:26I swear I'll make it right.
00:25:28Start over?
00:25:29Not a chance.
00:25:30I'm not following you up whatever ladder you think you're climbing.
00:25:32Aaron, are you really going to destroy me like this?
00:25:35You dug your own grave.
00:25:36Don't blame anyone else.
00:25:39I'm proud of you, son.
00:25:41There's more and better things out there.
00:25:43You'll find what you deserve someday.
00:25:44She was never worth your time.
00:25:46Never worth his time!
00:25:52Consider this your immediate dismissal.
00:25:54You will never be associated with my company ever again.
00:26:01Oh, and Brandon, you're fired as well.
00:26:05Fine.
00:26:06You think I care about that job?
00:26:12What do we do now?
00:26:13Relax.
00:26:14You still have me.
00:26:16Actually, it's about time you all knew who I really am.
00:26:19My father is Anthony Reed, Senior VP at Desert Crown Holdings.
00:26:23What?
00:26:26Wait, if that's true, why were you even working at Meridian Ventures?
00:26:30For her.
00:26:31Meridian isn't worth your loyalty, Vanessa.
00:26:34One word from me, and you're in at Desert Crown.
00:26:36Better pay, better position, better everything.
00:26:40Are you serious?
00:26:41Would I lie to you?
00:26:44Then help me teach these two losers a lesson.
00:26:47And that bitch, too.
00:26:48She slapped me twice!
00:26:50I want payback!
00:26:51Double!
00:26:52Consider it done.
00:26:52I've already made the call.
00:26:54We have a special guest on the way.
00:26:56The terror of the strip.
00:26:58Jade Torres.
00:26:59Jade Torres?
00:27:01The woman who killed 12 men with their own weapons?
00:27:03You don't mean the right hand of Snake Eye Sledge himself?
00:27:06She owes me a favor.
00:27:07Told her I might need backup.
00:27:09Trust me.
00:27:10It wasn't easy to arrange.
00:27:13Jade Torres, we're in real trouble now.
00:27:19Jade?
00:27:20That's the big threat?
00:27:22She's more than a threat.
00:27:24They say Snake Eyes has kept order over all of Nevada because of her alone.
00:27:28She has a ruthless reputation.
00:27:31We need to be ready.
00:27:33Get all our security in here.
00:27:35Now.
00:27:39You see that, Brandon?
00:27:41They're already shaking.
00:27:45You want payback?
00:27:47Fine.
00:27:48But you settle this with me.
00:27:49Leave my father and Evelyn out of it.
00:27:55Ignore them, Vanessa.
00:27:56Jade will be here any minute.
00:27:58Then they'll learn what happens when you step out of your league.
00:28:02My hero.
00:28:03Oh.
00:28:04You'll show me how grateful you are later.
00:28:06You honestly think one phone call wins this for you?
00:28:10And why wouldn't it?
00:28:11Because even Snake Eyes wouldn't have the balls to talk to me the way you are right now.
00:28:16Who the hell said that?
00:28:26Jade, you're here.
00:28:28Thank God you're here.
00:28:29We've got a situation that requires your expertise.
00:28:32Lucky me.
00:28:32I was having a slow night.
00:28:34Then you call about some nobody with the nerve to disrespect my boss.
00:28:37I wouldn't have missed this for the world.
00:28:38You did this to yourself, old man.
00:28:40Run in your mouth about things you don't understand.
00:28:42Make him hurt.
00:28:43Show him what happens when you disrespect a legend.
00:28:46Understood.
00:28:47And those two, they're with him.
00:28:50Good.
00:28:51Then they all bleed together.
00:28:53Eve, Aaron, this is about to get messy.
00:28:56Please sneak out the back.
00:28:58I'll take care of this.
00:28:58I'm not leaving you, Dad.
00:29:00You're my husband, Michael.
00:29:02I'm not going anywhere.
00:29:03Not while I'm still breathing.
00:29:05How touching.
00:29:06The happy family.
00:29:08Too bad you're just a businesswoman playing dress-up.
00:29:10What are you going to do?
00:29:11File a lawsuit?
00:29:13I'll make this simple.
00:29:15Name your price.
00:29:16Whatever you want, just walk away from my family.
00:29:23Eve.
00:29:24What is this?
00:29:25The great Evelyn Hart begging for mercy?
00:29:30The CEO of Latitude Investments.
00:29:32In the flesh.
00:29:33That's right.
00:29:34So let's talk business.
00:29:35Name your price.
00:29:36I'll pay anything.
00:29:37Tempting.
00:29:37Under other circumstances, I might accept.
00:29:40But not this time.
00:29:41What do you mean?
00:29:42This man showed blatant disrespect to my boss.
00:29:44That cannot be forgiven.
00:29:44Please.
00:29:45He didn't mean it.
00:29:46Tell me what it takes.
00:29:46Some debts can't be paid with money.
00:29:48Richard Sledge is the only person I respect.
00:29:50I couldn't live with myself if I let this go.
00:29:51Evelyn, there's no need to beg for me.
00:29:56Does your boss even know you're here?
00:29:58How dare you speak his name?
00:30:00Kill him.
00:30:35Sleep.
00:30:44You were saying?
00:30:47I, I, I.
00:30:53I'll call Richard to take out his trash for me.
00:31:05Madam Marlott, any chance I could apologize to the Don face to face?
00:31:13You?
00:31:14An audience with the Don?
00:31:16Don't be absurd.
00:31:24Copy that.
00:31:28Looks like it's your lucky day after all.
00:31:31What?
00:31:32The Don has requested your presence immediately in the private hall.
00:31:36I'd suggest you not be late.
00:31:42Did you hear that?
00:31:44He fake called Richard Sledge.
00:31:46Give it up, Michael.
00:31:47You really think we're buying this?
00:31:48If he actually shows up, I'll eat dog shit on live stream.
00:31:58Evelyn.
00:31:59Trust me, it's going to be fine.
00:32:02How?
00:32:02How can you possibly?
00:32:04Enough games!
00:32:06First you insult Richard, now you fuck me.
00:32:10I'd advise you to stay down.
00:32:14I'm done waiting.
00:32:19Don't.
00:32:36Right.
00:32:37The Don doesn't want anyone knowing.
00:32:39Michael.
00:32:40What?
00:32:41The boss actually came?
00:32:43And that guy dodged my bullets?
00:32:45How the hell is this possible?
00:32:48Mr. Sledge, you're not here because of him, right?
00:32:56Because of him?
00:32:58Do I look like someone's errand boy?
00:33:00Watch your mouth.
00:33:02Of course.
00:33:03My mistake.
00:33:04My apologies, sir.
00:33:07Mr. Sledge.
00:33:10I wasn't expecting you.
00:33:12I had everything handled.
00:33:14Everything handled?
00:33:16Is that what you call this?
00:33:18These idiots almost got me killed.
00:33:21Do they have any idea who they're messing with?
00:33:23I don't understand.
00:33:28I was doing my job.
00:33:31Protecting your reputation.
00:33:33Why are you angry with me?
00:33:35Exactly.
00:33:36Mr. Sledge, we all saw it.
00:33:38This guy's been disrespecting you all night.
00:33:40Claimed he could snap his fingers and you'd come running.
00:33:43She was defending your honor.
00:33:48This is exactly what I was afraid of.
00:33:52Stay calm.
00:33:53Everything's under control.
00:33:58Mr. Smith, my subordinate crossed a line.
00:34:01I apologize.
00:34:02She'll be dealt with however you see fit.
00:34:05Maybe teach your people some restraint.
00:34:10Sir, what are you...
00:34:11Enough!
00:34:12In this organization, honor comes first.
00:34:15Always.
00:34:16You think you can throw my name around like some kind of weapon?
00:34:19Intimidate whoever you want?
00:34:20If I ever hear about this again, you'll wish I just fired you.
00:34:23But since when do we...
00:34:26Since I said so!
00:34:27What I say is law!
00:34:28Get out!
00:34:29Now!
00:34:35Get out!
00:34:39Mrs. Hart, about that night, that misunderstanding, that was on me, completely.
00:34:46I'm hoping you can forgive me.
00:34:49Wait.
00:34:51You're apologizing?
00:34:52To me?
00:34:54Well, he should be, shouldn't he?
00:34:57Yes, exactly.
00:34:59I offer my sincerest apologies, Miss Hart.
00:35:02Very well.
00:35:04Apology accepted.
00:35:06Mr. Slag, what the hell are you doing?
00:35:08She's just some businesswoman, and he's a nobody.
00:35:11A damn freeloader.
00:35:12You should be putting them in their place, not kissing ass.
00:35:15A freeloader?
00:35:23Brandon!
00:35:24Oh my God, are you okay?
00:35:25Mr. Slag, you can't do this.
00:35:28My father, you two go way back.
00:35:31You can't just...
00:35:33I don't know what's got you spooked, but I can promise you these people are nobodies.
00:35:37They don't have connections.
00:35:39No connections?
00:35:41Shut your mouth!
00:35:42One more word and I'll have you dragged out of here!
00:35:49Apologize to Mr. Smith.
00:35:51Now.
00:35:58Mr. Slag, what are you...
00:36:01Are you deaf?
00:36:08Apologize to Mr. Smith now, or you'll regret it.
00:36:12That's enough!
00:36:18Dad, thank God.
00:36:24Mr. Slag has lost his mind.
00:36:26He's beating Brandon.
00:36:27I can see that.
00:36:29Richard, release my son.
00:36:31Anthony, perfect timing.
00:36:33Your son needs a lesson in respect.
00:36:36My son is my business, not yours.
00:36:38You would do well to remember your place.
00:36:41I'm trying to save him from a mistake he won't survive.
00:36:44Save him.
00:36:45You nearly beat him to death!
00:36:47And you have the nerve to call it helping?
00:36:53Dad, you have to do something!
00:36:56Your son picked a fight with the wrong person.
00:36:59If I hadn't stepped in, you'd both be dead by now.
00:37:02The wrong person?
00:37:04Who's acting?
00:37:08Him?
00:37:11If Richard's this scared, who the hell is this guy?
00:37:17Sir, may I ask, what exactly did my son do?
00:37:20Threaten to kill someone over basically nothing.
00:37:23You might want to get that under control before it's too late.
00:37:25Dad, don't listen to him!
00:37:27Sir, it's true.
00:37:29They're ordinary people.
00:37:30I know them.
00:37:31They're nothing.
00:37:32She's not wrong.
00:37:34I am just an ordinary man.
00:37:36Richard!
00:37:37You heard them!
00:37:38You humiliated my son over some nobody!
00:37:40You better have a damn good explanation.
00:37:44Believe whatever you want.
00:37:45I tried to warn you.
00:37:47Gentlemen, this whole situation started with Brandon's behavior.
00:37:54The ocean heart?
00:37:57How is that possible?
00:38:09What do you mean by ocean heart?
00:38:12You mean this?
00:38:18Yes, that's it.
00:38:19That's the ocean heart.
00:38:21Desert Crown spent $250 million to acquire it.
00:38:25It was supposed to be handed over to Don Moretti.
00:38:28Mr. Reed, are you sure?
00:38:30There must be some mistake.
00:38:31No mistake.
00:38:32I was there when the auction happened.
00:38:34I saw it with my own eyes.
00:38:37How did this piece come to be in your possession?
00:38:41Michael gave it to me.
00:38:44Bullshit!
00:38:44Why would a tribute meant for Don Moretti end up with some loser like you?
00:38:48How did you get it?
00:38:50Just a little something someone gave me.
00:38:52No big deal.
00:38:53No big deal?
00:38:54That necklace is worth over $2 billion and you're calling it no big deal?
00:39:00You're saying someone gave it to you?
00:39:02Who?
00:39:03And don't tell me it was Sophia Marlin, president of Desert Crown Holdings.
00:39:08Actually, you're right.
00:39:09It was indeed Sophia who gave it to me.
00:39:21Dad, this guy's a temp worker.
00:39:23Bottom of the food chain.
00:39:24How would someone like him know any president?
00:39:27That necklace?
00:39:28He stole it.
00:39:31Anthony, I've known his family for five years.
00:39:34Trust me.
00:39:35They're nobodies.
00:39:37There's no way that's legitimate.
00:39:39Interesting theory.
00:39:41And it would take real balls to steal from Desert Crown Holdings.
00:39:44Some people are poor but honest.
00:39:47But stealing something that valuable?
00:39:49That's just pathetic.
00:39:52That's enough!
00:39:53My father is not a thief!
00:39:56Thank God I dumped you when I did.
00:39:59Otherwise, I'd be going down with this train wreck.
00:40:01Stealing from Desert Crown?
00:40:03You two are finished.
00:40:06I trust Michael completely.
00:40:08And I'm certain there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.
00:40:12Perhaps you should clarify things?
00:40:15Clarify.
00:40:16What's there to clarify?
00:40:18It was a gift.
00:40:22A gift.
00:40:24Right.
00:40:25What's next?
00:40:26You're going to tell us you're Don Moretti himself?
00:40:30Stranger things have happened.
00:40:38Unbelievable!
00:40:40First he steals the ocean heart.
00:40:41Now he's claiming to be Don Moretti?
00:40:43Old man, you've completely lost it.
00:40:46A senior executive of Desert Crown?
00:40:49You just signed your own death warrant.
00:40:51The Don's been in the shadows for years.
00:40:53But that doesn't give every two-bit nobody the right to use his name.
00:40:57I was willing to overlook your disrespect earlier.
00:41:00But the ocean heart?
00:41:01You better have a damn good explanation.
00:41:03Or this ends badly for you.
00:41:05Dad, forget talking.
00:41:06Let's handle this now.
00:41:08Guards.
00:41:08Guards.
00:41:16President Hart!
00:41:17Perfect timing.
00:41:19Stand your ground.
00:41:21Evelyn, what the hell do you think you're doing?
00:41:23You're protecting a thief?
00:41:24I'm protecting an innocent man from a witch hunt.
00:41:28Possession of stolen property.
00:41:29I have every right!
00:41:30You're making accusations without a shred of proof.
00:41:33The proof is hanging around your neck.
00:41:35So that's how it is.
00:41:37You're choosing to go to war with Desert Crown Holdings.
00:41:43You're really going to war with Desert Crown for this piece of trash?
00:41:46Evelyn, are you stupid or just completely brainless?
00:41:49Now, Brandon, that's not fair.
00:41:51If she were really that stupid, could she have built Meridian Ventures?
00:41:55My guess?
00:41:56She's just desperate for a man.
00:41:58You'd really go up against Desert Crown for me?
00:42:02We're husband and wife.
00:42:03We rise together.
00:42:05We fall together.
00:42:07Besides, I know you didn't do what they're accusing you of.
00:42:10Can we talk this through for a second?
00:42:12Stay out of this.
00:42:13We've still got our own score to settle.
00:42:18You're accusing Mr. Smith of stealing the Ocean Heart.
00:42:21Where's your proof?
00:42:22Proof? It's obvious.
00:42:23Are you suggesting I'm framing him?
00:42:26I'm saying there's one person who knows the truth.
00:42:28Why don't we ask her?
00:42:30You mean President Marlowe?
00:42:34Exactly. Let her settle this.
00:42:36If Sophia shows up and I've recovered the Ocean Heart,
00:42:41she'll owe me.
00:42:43Maybe even take me to meet the Don himself.
00:42:54What could Anthony Reed possibly want from me?
00:43:01President Marlowe, Mr. Reed is confronting the Don.
00:43:05He's threatening to kill him.
00:43:08What?
00:43:09Let's go.
00:43:10Now.
00:43:11Now.
00:43:16Just wait until President Marlowe walks through that door.
00:43:20None of you are walking out of here.
00:43:23Especially you, Evelyn.
00:43:26A small-time operation like Meridian Ventures challenging Desert Crown?
00:43:31You'll regret this for the rest of your life.
00:43:35I won't regret a thing.
00:43:37Anthony, you're the one who's going to have regrets.
00:43:40Better start thinking about how you'll explain yourself when Sophia gets here.
00:43:46Still running your mouth?
00:43:48You really don't know when to quit, do you?
00:43:51Dad, why are we waiting?
00:43:52Let me break this old bastard's knees and make him crawl out of here like a dog.
00:43:55Send a message about what happens when you mess with Desert Crown.
00:43:58Patience, son.
00:43:59An audience with the President is an opportunity.
00:44:03As for his fate,
00:44:05Michael,
00:44:06your stupidity isn't just destroying you.
00:44:08You're taking down your little mistress and her entire company.
00:44:13You're dragging everyone into the grave with you.
00:44:19Anthony.
00:44:23You're the one who's about to be ruined.
00:44:33President Marlott,
00:44:34forgive my boldness in calling you here,
00:44:36but I have something extremely important to report.
00:44:38Do tell.
00:44:39This man, Michael Smith,
00:44:41stole the Ocean Heart.
00:44:42I was about to arrest him and bring him to you and the Don for judgment.
00:44:47You're accusing him of theft?
00:44:49With absolute certainty,
00:44:50this man is the thief.
00:44:53Your accusation means nothing.
00:44:55With the President standing right here,
00:44:56your lies won't save you.
00:44:58Besides,
00:44:59we have witnesses.
00:45:02Oh?
00:45:04Who?
00:45:08President Marlott,
00:45:09I can testify.
00:45:10Michael stole the Ocean Heart.
00:45:12He's always been shady.
00:45:14We can back that up.
00:45:18It's true.
00:45:19This man has zero respect for Desert Crown's authority.
00:45:22You need to make an example out of him.
00:45:26They're lying.
00:45:28My father would never steal anything.
00:45:31Easy, son.
00:45:33The truth doesn't change just because they want it to.
00:45:37President Marlott,
00:45:38I trust Michael completely.
00:45:40I hope you'll investigate this properly
00:45:42and not be manipulated by these people.
00:45:45I know exactly what the truth is.
00:45:49What if I told you
00:45:51I did give it to him?
00:45:59What?
00:45:59How is this possible?
00:46:03Everyone out.
00:46:04Now.
00:46:08Cutting it a little close, weren't you?
00:46:10Traffic.
00:46:12You know.
00:46:12What is going on?
00:46:14Even the president is taking his side.
00:46:16The president of Desert Crown Holdings.
00:46:18Giving him the Ocean Heart.
00:46:20Brandon,
00:46:21what if he's,
00:46:22what if he's the Don?
00:46:23If he really is the Don,
00:46:24after everything we did to him,
00:46:27we're dead.
00:46:28What do we do now?
00:46:30Brandon,
00:46:30you have to fix this.
00:46:31Fix it.
00:46:32There's nothing to fix.
00:46:33We're all going down.
00:46:36Michael,
00:46:38who are you really?
00:46:39Dad,
00:46:39are you the Don of Desert Crown?
00:46:43The Don?
00:46:44Me?
00:46:44Come on.
00:46:45I can barely manage my cleaning supplies.
00:46:47Then explain how the president gave you the Ocean Heart.
00:46:50She answers to one person.
00:46:53The Don.
00:46:54Dad.
00:47:00Why don't we let President Marlon explain?
00:47:03Tell them why you gave me the Ocean Heart.
00:47:08The Don still wants to stay hidden.
00:47:10But how am I supposed to explain this?
00:47:15Well,
00:47:16Mr.
00:47:16Smith here provided exceptional service as a hotel staff member.
00:47:20I was so impressed that I rewarded him with the Ocean Heart.
00:47:27That's it?
00:47:28I heard Desert Crown acquired the Ocean Heart at enormous cost,
00:47:32specifically as a gift for the Don.
00:47:34The Don of Desert Crown possesses wealth beyond imagination.
00:47:37Trillions.
00:47:38Something like the Ocean Heart?
00:47:40Probably just a trinket to him.
00:47:42Wouldn't you agree,
00:47:43President Marlon?
00:47:47Absolutely.
00:47:48The Don would barely notice something like this.
00:47:53Thank God.
00:47:54He's not the Don.
00:47:56The Ocean Heart as a reward for good customer service?
00:47:58He just got insanely lucky.
00:48:00The Don operates in complete secrecy.
00:48:02You really thought we'd just stumble across him?
00:48:03Mr. Reid,
00:48:04I've received reports that you've been embezzling corporate funds for personal gain.
00:48:07The evidence is compelling.
00:48:09Take him into custody.
00:48:21President Marlott,
00:48:22could you wait a moment?
00:48:23Is there something else?
00:48:25There's a small matter I'd like to ask about,
00:48:28if it's not too much trouble.
00:48:29Please,
00:48:29Ms.
00:48:29Hart,
00:48:30speak freely.
00:48:30I'll share what I can.
00:48:31I've heard that Desert Crown hosts a major investment conference every 10 years.
00:48:36Is that true?
00:48:36It is.
00:48:37The next one is in three months.
00:48:38Desert Crown uses these conferences to identify the most promising company in the country,
00:48:43then partners with them exclusively.
00:48:45Maximum resources,
00:48:46full back.
00:48:47How do you know all this?
00:48:49Just things I've picked up working around the casinos and hotels.
00:48:52Could be wrong,
00:48:53though.
00:48:54Actually,
00:48:55Mr. Smith's formation is accurate.
00:48:56Are you thinking of participating?
00:48:58Yes.
00:48:59Meridian Ventures has grown steadily,
00:49:00but we've plateaued.
00:49:01We're confined to the Southwest.
00:49:03With Desert Crown's backing,
00:49:04we could expand nationwide,
00:49:05maybe even become a top layer in enterprise.
00:49:07Ambitious.
00:49:08I respect that,
00:49:09Ms.
00:49:09Hart.
00:49:09But the final decision rests solely with the Don.
00:49:17I'm probably dreaming.
00:49:19The competition will be insane.
00:49:22There are dozens of companies more established than Meridian Ventures.
00:49:26My chances are slim at best.
00:49:28Don't sell yourself short.
00:49:30You have one advantage none of them possess.
00:49:33What advantage?
00:49:38What do you mean?
00:49:40Evelyn,
00:49:40I'm certain you'll succeed.
00:49:43But it's getting late.
00:49:45We should let her go.
00:49:47Right.
00:49:48Of course.
00:49:49President Marla,
00:49:50thank you for your time.
00:49:51I'll see you at the investment conference.
00:49:57Oh,
00:49:58I almost forgot.
00:49:59I found us a new place this afternoon.
00:50:01Our new home.
00:50:04Moving in together already?
00:50:06Well,
00:50:06we are legally married now.
00:50:09Can't back out now.
00:50:11Aaron,
00:50:11would you like to come see it too?
00:50:13No,
00:50:14thanks.
00:50:15Don't want to be the third wheel on your newlywed tour.
00:50:19All right,
00:50:19then.
00:50:20Let's go.
00:50:22Let's go.
00:50:38So what do you think of the neighborhood?
00:50:40Quite nice.
00:50:42But these homes must be expensive.
00:50:46Comfort isn't cheap.
00:50:50Besides,
00:50:51I'm paying.
00:50:52Why worry?
00:50:55Makes me feel a little like dead weight.
00:50:59Nonsense.
00:51:00Just sit back
00:51:00and enjoy the good fortune while it lasts.
00:51:06I think I left my phone in the car.
00:51:08Our place is just ahead of this path here.
00:51:11Number one.
00:51:13I'll catch up in a minute.
00:51:14All right.
00:51:26Michael?
00:51:27Linda Carter.
00:51:28Is that you?
00:51:29What are the odds?
00:51:30It's been years.
00:51:36Linda.
00:51:37Who is this?
00:51:41An old high school classmate,
00:51:4320 years ago.
00:51:44He was popular back then.
00:51:45All the girls had crushes on him.
00:51:46But from what I've heard,
00:51:47he hasn't exactly set the world on fire.
00:51:49No real job to speak of.
00:51:50Still bitter about me turning you down,
00:51:52huh?
00:51:53Bitter?
00:51:54Please.
00:51:54I'd completely forgotten until you brought it up.
00:51:57I must have been blind back then.
00:51:58School popularity doesn't pay the bills.
00:52:01Reality has a way of humbling people.
00:52:03So, Michael, what are you doing here exactly?
00:52:06How did security even let you in?
00:52:08This is an exclusive community.
00:52:10Let me in?
00:52:11I live here.
00:52:17You're joking.
00:52:18You live here?
00:52:19Do you have any idea what kind of people can afford this place?
00:52:22This is Cloud Heights,
00:52:24the most exclusive community in Nevada.
00:52:26Every homeowner here is either wealthy or connected.
00:52:28So, take a good look in the mirror.
00:52:30Do you really think you belong?
00:52:31I have no reason to lie.
00:52:33It took us decades of hard work and the right connections
00:52:35just to afford the smallest lot in this place.
00:52:37So, if you really live here, Michael,
00:52:39which house is yours?
00:52:40The big one at the top of the hill.
00:52:43Number one.
00:52:44What?
00:52:46If you're going to lie, at least make it believable.
00:52:49That estate's worth over a billion dollars.
00:52:51Money alone can't buy it.
00:52:52You need connections at the highest levels.
00:52:54But we're old classmates.
00:52:55There's no need for this act.
00:52:56If you really live in the biggest house here, prove it.
00:52:58I don't need to prove anything to you.
00:53:00Because you can't.
00:53:01Fine, if you insist.
00:53:04This ought to be good.
00:53:07I thought this path led straight there.
00:53:09It should be around here somewhere.
00:53:12Excuse me, which way to number one?
00:53:14Top of the hill.
00:53:16Did you hear that?
00:53:17He doesn't even know where it is.
00:53:18Michael, just stop.
00:53:20You're only embarrassing yourself.
00:53:21We'll see about that.
00:53:25This should be good.
00:53:27Let's watch him crash and burn.
00:53:36Don't you two have anything better to do than following me?
00:53:38You really committed to the bit,
00:53:40walking all the way up here.
00:53:41But you didn't actually think we'd fall for it, did you?
00:53:43Do we look that stupid?
00:53:45Unless you can prove you're the owner.
00:53:46And if I can?
00:53:47If you're really the owner,
00:53:49I'll get on my knees and lick your shoes.
00:53:51You said it.
00:53:54Access granted.
00:53:55Welcome home.
00:54:03How is this possible?
00:54:05You can't possibly own this place.
00:54:08If I weren't the owner, how'd I get in?
00:54:10A promise is a promise.
00:54:12I'm still waiting for you to get on your knees.
00:54:14This doesn't prove anything.
00:54:16Look at your clothes.
00:54:17You're probably just the hired help.
00:54:19Exactly.
00:54:20It's the only explanation.
00:54:22Are you serious?
00:54:23Can't handle losing?
00:54:24What more proof do you need?
00:54:27You know what?
00:54:28Forget it, Michael.
00:54:29Keep playing pretend if it makes you feel better.
00:54:31Come on, honey.
00:54:32We're wasting our time with this clown.
00:54:37Who are they?
00:54:38Old acquaintance.
00:54:39Very unpleasant.
00:54:41They seemed upset.
00:54:42Some people just can't handle being wrong.
00:54:45Well, they're lost.
00:54:47Shall we?
00:54:48After you.
00:54:56Hey, sis.
00:54:57You're finally back.
00:54:58What are you doing here?
00:54:59How did you even get in here?
00:55:01You weren't answering your phone.
00:55:02You weren't at the office.
00:55:03Where else was I supposed to wait?
00:55:06Michael, this is my brother, Daniel.
00:55:08Daniel, this is Michael, my husband.
00:55:12You've got some nerve.
00:55:14Getting married without telling anyone?
00:55:16Dad almost had another heart attack when he found out.
00:55:19Dad's been nagging me to get married for years.
00:55:22Now that I have, he's complaining?
00:55:24And this is who you chose?
00:55:26That's right.
00:55:27You must be blind.
00:55:28Look at him.
00:55:28He's at least seven or eight years older than you,
00:55:30doesn't have a real job,
00:55:31and it's not like he's got Jake Zelting's looks or anything.
00:55:34What about him is worthy of you?
00:55:36Well, that's not very polite at all now, is it?
00:55:39We are brothers now.
00:55:40In law.
00:55:44Brother-in-law!
00:55:45I don't think so!
00:55:47You could have anyone!
00:55:49Young entrepreneurs, tech moguls,
00:55:52heirs to billion-dollar fortunes.
00:55:54Every match we set you up with was better than this!
00:55:57My life is none of your business!
00:55:59But you're my sister!
00:56:01How can I stand by and watch you get taken advantage of?
00:56:05Tell me the truth!
00:56:07What kind of con are you running here?
00:56:09What kind of con are you running here?
00:56:16That's enough, Daniel!
00:56:17Stop this nonsense!
00:56:20Enough?
00:56:21The Hart family has a reputation to
00:56:23that this guy would make us a joke in every room in Vegas.
00:56:27I don't care what I think.
00:56:30Let's cut through the bullshit.
00:56:32How much do you want?
00:56:33Five million?
00:56:35Ten?
00:56:35Name your number and disappear.
00:56:37Here.
00:56:39Money?
00:56:40That's not what I care about.
00:56:46Then I guess we do this the hard way.
00:56:50Oh, my God.
00:56:55No.
00:56:55No.
00:57:00Amen.

00:58:30you ruined your clothes too
00:58:33come on let's get you cleaned up tough guy
00:58:43humiliated by a damn janitor
00:58:46I didn't want to do this I'm left with no choice
00:58:53Victor yeah about that favor you owe me it's Daniel Hart my sister just married some old maintenance
00:58:59worker and she's still desperate for desert crowns backing I was wondering
00:59:03if you could

00:59:33you don't get it this is everything
00:59:35if I don't take every shot I can I'll never forgive myself
00:59:38here's the thing from what I understand the final call at the investment conference belongs to the dawn
00:59:43period so even if this mystery contact has connections
00:59:46can they really override that
00:59:48maybe not
00:59:50but I still have to try
00:59:52wait for me outside okay
00:59:53I won't be long
01:00:10a bar seriously who meets at a place like this for business
01:00:16you want answers

01:01:16chancellor

01:01:22the dawn runs desert crown holdings
01:01:25but directly under him
01:01:26two key positions
01:01:28the president and the chancellor
01:01:32your brother's right
01:01:34think of desert crown as more than a company
01:01:37it's an empire
01:01:38president marlin handles the business side
01:01:41the legitimate operations
01:01:43my father he manages everything else
01:01:47the machinery that keeps the wheels turning

01:01:54I won't promise you'll win
01:01:57that would be dishonest
01:01:59but I can significantly improve meridian ventures odds
01:02:04stack the deck in your favor so to speak
01:02:06that would be incredible
01:02:08name your price
01:02:09whatever the outcome
01:02:11you'll be compensated fairly
01:02:12please
01:02:14I don't need compensation

01:02:18consider this a gesture of friendship
01:02:24to new partnerships
01:02:26and mutual success
01:02:31the man's offering to help you crack into desert crown
01:02:34the least you can do is share a drink
01:02:38the least you can do is share a drink
01:03:02It's getting late, I should go.
01:03:06I need to get back to my home.
01:03:13The drink.
01:03:16What's happening?
01:03:18What's wrong?
01:03:22Congratulations, boss.
01:03:24The most untouchable woman in Vegas?
01:03:26Not so untouchable anymore.
01:03:30You.
01:03:32I had you fine.
01:03:33Oh, you did more than that.
01:03:35Thanks to Michael and that bitch Sophia, I lost everything.
01:03:39My position, my reputation.
01:03:42Now, I'm even facing federal prison.
01:03:44Victor, what the hell is this?
01:03:47What's this?
01:03:48You really are as stupid as you look.
01:03:51You think Victor gives a damn about some trust fund baby with a gambling problem?
01:03:54He was never interested in you, you idiot.
01:03:57You're a siss.
01:04:08What's taking so long?
01:04:14Why are you doing this?
01:04:16You really need to ask.
01:04:18A woman like you, powerful, untouchable, beautiful, you made yourself irresistible.
01:04:24Victor, if you touch my sister, I'll kill you.
01:04:32I'm just going to tell Daniel.
01:04:34I'm going to make you watch every single second.
01:04:37And you're going to remember this moment for the rest of your pathetic life.
01:04:43No, please, let her go.
01:04:46Shut this loser up.
01:04:48I have a husband.
01:04:51He'll find you.
01:04:53That old Jameter, please.
01:04:55He hasn't even touched you yet, has he?
01:04:57Which means you're still mine to claim.
01:04:59A gift, really.
01:05:01Unopened.
01:05:09Get your filthy hands off her!
01:05:16Michael.
01:05:19I have guards outside.
01:05:20How did you get in?
01:05:20Those rent-a-thugs?
01:05:21They weren't much of an obstacle.
01:05:23As a member of Desert Crown Holdings, you should know that they don't like this.
01:05:25Or aren't you afraid of what happens when the organization finds out?
01:05:29Finds out?
01:05:30About what?
01:05:31A business meeting?
01:05:32Old man, you really don't understand how this works.
01:05:34Victor's the chancellor's son.
01:05:36Nobody in Desert Crown would dare touch him.
01:05:37Nobody.
01:05:38Even President Marlon thinks twice before crossing me.
01:05:41I'm untouchable.
01:05:42What about the Don?
01:05:43The Don?
01:05:47He operates at a level so far above this, he wouldn't even notice.
01:05:52I suggest you turn around, walk out, and pretend you were never here.
01:06:10Oh, my God.
01:06:37are you i'm the man you shouldn't have touched my father your father should have taught you better

01:10:39you think meridian ventures is going to win based on what exactly your dazzling personality
01:10:45why do you keep showing up where you don't belong

01:10:53the balls on this guy a glorified handyman you think you can just declare victory and make it happen

01:11:25okay okay i'll bite
01:11:27since you're so confident meridian ventures win let's put it to the test
01:11:30capital verification right here right now
01:11:32the company my family backs has 90 billion in liquid assets
01:11:35with some strategic liquidations we could push past 100 billion without breaking a sweat
01:11:40that's immense
01:11:41it's impossible
01:11:42we scraped together 50 billion that's everything we can't compete with that
01:11:46hear that that's reality knocking
01:11:4950 billion versus a thousand billion that's not a gap sweetheart that's a canyon
01:11:54what if i told you this changes everything
01:12:23that's not a gap
01:12:26Capital Verificate question?
01:12:28How does someone like you have a Desert Crown Royal card?
01:12:30Who the hell are you?
01:12:31Does it matter?
01:12:32What matters is that Meridian Adventures just passed Capital Verification with room to spare.
01:12:36Not so fast.
01:12:37How do we even know that's real?
01:12:39Anyone can get a piece of black plastic printed.
01:12:41Someone get me a card reader, now!
01:12:45Here.
01:12:46If I were a frog, God himself won't be able to save you.
01:12:49Current bail balance, $1 trillion.
01:12:52Impossible.
01:12:53It's genuine!
01:12:54How do you have access to the money?
01:12:56A trillion dollars.
01:12:56Change anything?
01:12:57When I had nothing, you married me anyway.
01:12:59Now that I have money, does that matter to you?
01:13:01No.
01:13:02No, it doesn't.
01:13:03Wait!
01:13:03Everyone, wait!
01:13:05Capital Verification means nothing.
01:13:07The final decision on the partnership belongs to the Don.
01:13:09Only the Don can authorize this.
01:13:12You're absolutely right.
01:13:14Which is why I invited him.
01:13:15You can come in now.
01:13:25Greetings, Let's see.
01:13:32The Don?
01:13:33My brother-in-law is the Don of Desert Crown Holdings?
01:13:38Michael, is this real?
01:13:40You're...
01:13:40Dad, you let me stock shelves and worry about rent for 24 years while you were running a trillion
01:13:47dollar empire?
01:13:48It was for your own good, kid.
01:13:50You turned out a better man than I could have hoped for.
01:13:56Victor!
01:13:57Stay!
01:14:04I hereby announce that Meridian Ventures will become Desert Crown Holdings' exclusive strategic
01:14:09partner.
01:14:10Effective immediately, they will receive priority access to all resources, networks, and infrastructure,
01:14:16backed by an initial investment of one trillion dollars.
01:14:26So, how's that for a marriage proposal?
01:14:29The last time I checked, we were already married.
01:14:32Legally, sure.
01:14:33But we never had a real proposal.
01:14:35A real moment.
01:14:37Evelyn Hart, will you marry me?
01:14:39Again?
01:14:40Properly this time?
01:14:42I...
01:14:42I will!
01:14:46Erin, you've spent your whole life thinking you were nobody.
01:14:49But you're my son.
01:14:50And it's time you learned how to run this empire.
01:14:53I'm putting him under your guidance.
01:14:55Teach him everything.
01:15:01Don't worry, Dad.
01:15:02As for you three, you threatened my wife.
01:15:05You drubbed her.
01:15:06You tried to...
01:15:07I don't even want to say it.
01:15:08You're lucky I'm in a good mood.
01:15:10Deal with them.
01:15:11Quietly, but thoroughly.
01:15:12And make sure everyone understands this is what happens when you forget who you work for.
01:15:23My father will hear about this.
01:15:25You're dead.
01:15:26All of you.
01:15:27All of you.
01:15:40Everyone in position for the photo.
01:15:421.
01:15:442.
01:16:013.
01:16:024.
01:16:024.
