00:00:26Everything we need for the next 72 hours.
00:00:28Liquid, untouchable.
00:00:31Derek has already started moving against you.
00:00:34Lining up investors, whispering about Apex's collapse.
00:00:37He wants to destroy you, Chris.
00:00:40Exactly how I planned.
00:00:41You can't bait a shark without a little blood in the water.
00:00:45I've already sent over the forged balance sheets.
00:00:47The fake foreclosure notices.
00:00:48Enough evidence to convince the world that Apex is circling the drain.
00:00:51He'll think he's scooped everyone.
00:00:53Good.
00:00:54Give him what he wants.
00:00:55The company on its knees, and while he gloats, we prepare the kill shot.
00:01:01The shareholder vote is in three days.
00:01:03When we move, Apex swallows Langford Capital whole.
00:01:06And when the dust settles, Derek won't just lose the company.
00:01:11He'll lose everything.
00:01:28Oh my God.
00:01:31Oh my God.
00:01:36Oh my God.
00:01:39Lord, today we are blessed beyond measure, not only because it is the day of your wedding,
00:01:45but because we are blessed with a son-in-law that is a CEO of Apex Group, a man of
00:01:49vision,
00:01:50a man of means. A billionaire who will protect our daughter and build our family legacy. Finally,
00:01:57the Donovan name will carry the weight that it deserves. To Sophia and to a future where we
00:02:02will want for nothing. Do you, Sophia Donovan, take Chris Bell to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:02:19I do. Then by the power vested in me, stop this wedding.
00:02:28Your billionaire groom is nothing but a fraud.
00:02:40Chris Bell, CEO of Apex Group? Right. Try bankrupt, loser.
00:02:48That's right. Apex Group is ruined.
00:02:52Sophia, you're about to marry a penniless con man.
00:02:58And I have the proof.
00:03:05It can't be true.
00:03:06What is going on here?
00:03:07I think I'm going to be sick.
00:03:08Gentlemen.
00:03:12Gentlemen.
00:03:12Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:03:13Wait.
00:03:14Oh, my God.
00:03:15Help.
00:03:16By order of the court.
00:03:18No.
00:03:19Move.
00:03:20You fraud.
00:03:24And property of the bank.
00:03:27No.
00:03:40They stop.
00:03:41That cake costs more than your salary.
00:03:45Is it really true?
00:03:47Oh, my God.
00:03:48Oh, my God.
00:03:53Oh, my God.
00:04:12Is it really true?
00:04:15Are you broke?
00:04:21I hate lying to her, but she can't know the truth.
00:04:25Not yet.
00:04:29Yes.
00:04:33Wedding was just such a nightmare.
00:04:34I mean, what a waste of an open bar.
00:04:36I need that one martini.
00:04:37It's embarrassing.
00:04:38I'm going to have to pay for this whole fucking thing.
00:04:42I tried to warn you.
00:04:43Chris was never the man he said he was.
00:04:45You don't have to go home to that deadbeat bum.
00:04:48You deserve better.
00:04:49You deserve someone who can actually take care of you.
00:04:51Not now, Derek.
00:04:52I just got married.
00:04:54Just think about it.
00:04:56You and me, we always made more sense.
00:05:00Sophia!
00:05:01Sophia!
00:05:02Sophia!
00:05:13Well, it worked.
00:05:14Still feels like I'm putting a knife in her back.
00:05:17No one can know that Apex is broke.
00:05:18Not even Sophia.
00:05:20And there's a bonus.
00:05:21If she stays with you on your penniless, you'll know she truly loves you.
00:05:24She's not a test, Victoria.
00:05:26She's my wife.
00:05:27Full, hostile takeover.
00:05:29We just need to wait 72 hours until the shareholder meeting.
00:05:32And when it lands, Derek won't know what hit him.
00:05:38I can't tell her yet.
00:05:40Not until the takeover is complete and our future is secure.
00:05:54Hello.
00:05:55Jeez.
00:05:57You have some nerve walking in here.
00:06:00This is Sophia's home.
00:06:02She's my wife.
00:06:04Wife?
00:06:04You tricked her.
00:06:06You tricked all of us.
00:06:07You brought gifts.
00:06:08Like, that makes you a part of this family?
00:06:10Well, I thought since we'll be spending time together.
00:06:13This is rich.
00:06:14Correction.
00:06:15Not rich.
00:06:16More like bankrupt.
00:06:17You think money is the most important thing, but it's not.
00:06:20Chris is a good person.
00:06:22He's honest and he treats me with respect.
00:06:24All right.
00:06:24Well, let's see what you brought us anyway.
00:06:26Just a couple tokens of my appreciation, Charlotte.
00:06:30I'm aware you like a nice glass of red before bed, so I got that from you.
00:06:34And Jack, this is a very rare book.
00:06:37I thought it would be good for your collection.
00:06:40Books?
00:06:41He brought us books?
00:06:42What are we supposed to do with a book, Chris?
00:06:44We're supposed to read our way out of debt?
00:06:46You could have brought Monopoly money.
00:06:48It's the same value.
00:06:51Not even French.
00:06:53California.
00:06:54This is bottom shelf swill.
00:06:59You know, I got that from a small vineyard.
00:07:01I thought you would appreciate the backstory.
00:07:04The backstory?
00:07:05We love stories.
00:07:06Like fairy tales.
00:07:08You mean like the fairy tale where you're a billionaire?
00:07:10Oh, I love that one.
00:07:12That's a good one.
00:07:14You're so funny.
00:07:23Burns well.
00:07:24Look at that.
00:07:34Thank you, John.
00:07:42Nice.
00:07:47That's looks real.
00:07:48That seat is for family.
00:07:51What?
00:07:51He can sit at the end if he's so desperate to eat.
00:07:55I hope you don't mind scraps, champ.
00:07:57That's usually all that's left over when it gets to the end of the table.
00:07:59Especially after you.
00:08:00I'm going to run more time.
00:08:05Sophia.
00:08:07You know, you could still get an annulment tonight.
00:08:11Oh, my dear, that is a brilliant idea.
00:08:14You know, I still have Judge Wagner on speed dial.
00:08:17I'll just give him a call.
00:08:18I bet he would be here in about ten minutes.
00:08:19Mom, please.
00:08:20What?
00:08:21Just put your phone in there.
00:08:23Fine.
00:08:24But I don't see the point in waiting.
00:08:27Okay, everyone.
00:08:27To my beautiful Sophia.
00:08:30You deserve the world.
00:08:32But instead, you got a pathetic drifter.
00:08:43It's good.
00:08:44It's a cab.
00:08:45Hey, I'm handsome.
00:08:47Bottoms up.
00:08:52Bottoms up.
00:08:59I guess I should have gone with the white.
00:09:03Butterfingers.
00:09:06Would you all give it a rest already?
00:09:08Whoa.
00:09:08Excuse me.
00:09:09You brought him into our home.
00:09:11And the next thing you know, he's eating our food, fucking our sister, and asking for gas
00:09:18money.
00:09:18That is not a son-in-law.
00:09:20It's a parasite.
00:09:22Don't talk about my husband like that.
00:09:23He doesn't even have the guts to defend himself.
00:09:32Just me.
00:09:34Please.
00:09:42What do you think you're doing?
00:09:48Sophia hasn't eaten much, so I thought I'd...
00:09:50Oh, the pauper is trying to play the provider now.
00:09:55Maybe your wife just lost her appetite because she married a stone bro shithel.
00:10:00Don't strain yourself, Chris.
00:10:02You might pull a muscle trying to lift this chunk of protein.
00:10:05You know, Chris, the good food is for people that contribute, not you, princess.
00:10:19Bon appetit.
00:10:24You sit under this room, eating our food, moving in, and freeloading.
00:10:30What is it exactly that you bring to the table?
00:10:33Well, for one, I married your daughter.
00:10:42And what, you think that makes you automatically a part of this family?
00:10:46You think that marrying Sophia is some kind of gift to us?
00:10:49It's not a gift.
00:10:50It's a burden.
00:10:51It's a liability.
00:10:53It's a state.
00:10:54Please, Mom.
00:10:55No, let him hear it.
00:10:56You want to be part of this family, then?
00:10:57You need to know your place.
00:10:59Because you're nobody's son-in-law.
00:11:01You're just a dog.
00:11:03That way, let him the back door.
00:11:05So go ahead, kid.
00:11:07Eat up.
00:11:08Woof, woof.
00:11:34That's a good boy.
00:11:38That's a good boy.
00:11:42You know, Sun Tzu says, patience is the key to victory.
00:11:46And I am a very patient man.
00:11:50Look at this guy.
00:11:51I mean, he doesn't even fight back.
00:11:52Not a word.
00:11:53It's because he knows it's true.
00:11:54He's nothing.
00:11:56Just a worthless halfwit.
00:11:57To think my daughter is married to a man who can't even afford to buy her flowers, let
00:12:02alone put a roof over her head.
00:12:03Well, what do we have here, huh?
00:12:06The happy bride and her poor little groom.
00:12:09Derek, what a surprise.
00:12:11Well, you certainly have a hop in your step.
00:12:13Indeed, I do.
00:12:15Langford Capital just secured a quarter of a billion dollars in financing.
00:12:19Record profits.
00:12:20We're expanding faster than any other company on the market.
00:12:22Oh, my God.
00:12:24A quarter billion?
00:12:25That's incredible.
00:12:26Oh, wait.
00:12:26We're just getting started.
00:12:27By next spring, Langford Capital will be the biggest and the best private equity fund
00:12:32in the country.
00:12:33Especially with Apex Groups circling the drain.
00:12:36Isn't that right, Chris?
00:12:40Imagine if Sophia married Derek.
00:12:43I think about that every single day.
00:12:46Mom, you were thrilled when I married Chris this morning.
00:12:48Yes, I was.
00:12:49But secretly, I was hoping you'd end up with Derek.
00:12:54I'll tell you what.
00:12:55Family sticks together.
00:12:56Tom, we're hiring brilliant minds over at Langford Capital.
00:12:59And I have just the position for you.
00:13:01How about head of the Strategic Wealth Fund?
00:13:06You hear that?
00:13:07That is what a son-in-law does.
00:13:10He builds.
00:13:11He protects.
00:13:12He provides.
00:13:13And he doesn't lie to you.
00:13:16Sophia, it's not too late.
00:13:19You can still fix it.
00:13:23Just unknow the marriage.
00:13:25And walk away.
00:13:27I already told you.
00:13:29I don't want to hear it.
00:13:31You.
00:13:33Well.
00:13:34Sign.
00:13:35This paper.
00:13:36And annul this marriage.
00:13:38Mom, please.
00:13:40Sign it.
00:13:41You will not.
00:13:42Drag.
00:13:43The Donovan family down with you.
00:13:46Mom, stop.
00:13:47Sign.
00:13:47The divorce paper.
00:13:49And annul this marriage now.
00:14:02Oh, my God.
00:14:04Jack.
00:14:05Yes.
00:14:07Somebody.
00:14:08Do something.
00:14:10Oh, my God.
00:14:13You're texting while my father is having a heart attack?
00:14:15He's probably texting his side piece already.
00:14:17I have been worried about Jack for a long time.
00:14:19So, for the past six months, I've been working with specialists at Apex to try to find a cure.
00:14:23Oh, right.
00:14:24Because Apex is some kind of, like, magic shop now.
00:14:26What's next, Chris?
00:14:27You're going to try to sell us unicorn tears in a jar?
00:14:30Laugh all you want, but this could be the only thing that can actually cure him.
00:14:32This isn't some medical breakthrough.
00:14:35This is all about your ego.
00:14:37Because you cannot stand the fact that we all know that you are useless, so you just make up fantasies.
00:14:44I mean, what is next, Chris?
00:14:46You're going to sprinkle fairy notes on my father and tell us that he's healed?
00:14:49What, are you just going to bring him over to the garage and hook him up to jumper cables?
00:14:52You're a fraud, and you always have.
00:14:53If you lay a finger on him, you'll kill him faster than the disease itself.
00:14:59I've also been sending messages to someone who actually knows what they're doing.
00:15:03Dean Hargrove, chief of medicine over at Crestview Hospital.
00:15:07A real doctor with real credentials.
00:15:09And expensive.
00:15:11But he's worth it, because unlike your made-up magical cure, he's not going to kill my father.
00:15:17That's what a real son-in-law does.
00:15:19He is generous, and he is serious about families.
00:15:24Unlike this twisted truth, fucker.
00:15:26You think your limp dick husband is going to compete with that?
00:15:30Please.
00:15:31This isn't a competition.
00:15:32I just want Jack to get better.
00:15:34It's not a competition.
00:15:37Oh, you just want Jack to get better, do you?
00:15:41Well, why don't you try this?
00:15:43Oh!
00:15:45Yay, finally some real entertainment.
00:15:47Yeah, maybe that'll shut him up.
00:15:49What is the matter with you?
00:15:50He is just a deadbeat gripper.
00:15:52He needs to get out of this house.
00:15:54Yeah, and he is as welcome as a turd in the family punch bowl.
00:15:57Yeah, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner we can all move on.
00:16:03That must be Dr. Hargrove.
00:16:14Dr. Hargrove, chief of medicine at Cresview Medical.
00:16:18Only the best for my Jack and his family.
00:16:21Doctor, thank you so much for coming to our family.
00:16:24We know how precious your time is.
00:16:26When it comes to family health, nothing is more important.
00:16:28Did you hear that?
00:16:29Nothing's more important than family.
00:16:31A real doctor.
00:16:33Unlike your, uh, snake oil, hmm?
00:16:36So why don't you just take your lies and get the hell out of this house?
00:16:43Listen, I think through the...
00:16:45I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
00:16:53Jack's condition has advanced.
00:16:55Oh, my God.
00:16:56His lungs are weak.
00:16:58Circulation is very poor.
00:16:59He might only have a couple of weeks to maybe a few months.
00:17:02Oh, my God.
00:17:03Right now, I can only suggest palliative measures.
00:17:06Palliative?
00:17:07You mean there's...
00:17:08There's nothing medicine can do.
00:17:09I'm sorry.
00:17:10Just cherish the time that you still have with him.
00:17:13And you, trying to use my father as a guinea pig for your Frankenstein cure.
00:17:19He's only going to kill him faster.
00:17:23Dr. Hargrove, help him.
00:17:28He's crashing.
00:17:29We don't have time.
00:17:30I can't breathe.
00:17:31Do something if you are such a genius.
00:17:39Just in time.
00:18:00What is this circus?
00:18:05And what the hell is that?
00:18:07I built Apex on breakthroughs the rest of the world thought were impossible.
00:18:10This vial right here is the first drug of its kind developed by a team of specialists for one man's
00:18:15condition.
00:18:17Jack's.
00:18:17The old man needs a miracle, not some science fiction and a goddamn needle.
00:18:21Or this is his endgame.
00:18:24You kill him and then you inherit Sophia without all the trouble.
00:18:26You are not sticking that needle anywhere near my husband, over my dead body.
00:18:34Chris, please.
00:18:36You have two, maybe three minutes left unless you let me help you right now.
00:18:43Jack.
00:18:45Help me.
00:18:46If this kills him, I will kill you.
00:18:49Are you sure about this?
00:18:51I wouldn't risk it if I wasn't.
00:18:53Trust me.
00:18:54Do it.
00:18:55Doc.
00:19:06Okay, Jack.

00:33:48i appreciate that
00:33:50thank you sweetheart
00:33:52while i'm here
00:33:53i thought i'd clear up a few questions
00:33:56that the market has been whispering about
00:33:59questions
00:34:00okay
00:34:00apex group
00:34:02if chris bell truly is at the helm
00:34:04then the bankruptcy rumors don't add up
00:34:06i know this was his last address on file
00:34:10is he here
00:34:11oh
00:34:24is he here
00:34:26uh
00:34:27chris
00:34:27oh no he is a loser
00:34:29who we kicked out and we cut ties with
00:34:31completely
00:34:32you did what
00:34:33and the marriage
00:34:34to our daughter
00:34:35uh
00:34:36that's been an old
00:34:37he is no longer part of the family
00:34:39actually he's a shit stain
00:34:40and if he's in trouble
00:34:42that's his problem
00:34:43these idiots have no idea what they've done
00:34:46miss baron
00:34:47i don't think you understand
00:34:50we despise him
00:34:52and if we could cut him up into like tiny little itty bitty bite-sized pieces
00:34:57we would
00:34:59excuse me cut him to what now
00:35:01small pieces
00:35:01and that's not all i would do
00:35:03if i could
00:35:04i would skin him alive
00:35:06i would break every bone in his body
00:35:09and then
00:35:10i would suck his blood dry
00:35:15he's scary
00:35:17he just never really knew his place
00:35:19he clung to sophia
00:35:21and then he used all of us
00:35:23so you thought chris bell was not good enough to marry into this family
00:35:27no
00:35:28bingo

00:35:41the guards have probably already beat him halfway to death
00:35:43but don't worry miss baron
00:35:44i mean none of us here feel sorry for him
00:35:46and i think i speak on behalf of everyone on this couch
00:35:49when i say we'd all be a lot happier if they just finished the job
00:35:56you said that he was at langford capital
00:35:57yeah in a storage room in the basement
00:35:59derrick wanted to take him to a place where nobody could hear him scream

00:36:33the drones
00:36:34that theatrics chris was trying to impress her
00:36:37baron holdings they protect their own

00:39:41Attempted murder?
00:39:44He's a fraud!
00:39:46And a liar!
00:39:47He's a two-bit Bernie Madoff hack!
00:39:49Whatever rumors you've heard about the X-Group, the story isn't adding up.
00:39:54Who the fuck are you?
00:39:56Marina Baron.
00:39:59Baron Holdings.
00:40:01Oh, shit.
00:40:04She's about to destroy my whole plan.
00:40:09Listen, Marina, I really appreciate what you're trying to do here, but he's right.
00:40:16I'm a fraud.
00:40:20I have multiple contacts, credible sources inside.
00:40:24They're wrong.
00:40:26Trust me.
00:40:28That's how I'm sick.
00:40:30You don't want anything to do with me.
00:40:33I must have been wrong about him.
00:40:35We should sit down and talk.
00:40:37I like the way you operate.
00:40:42We never see that Chris guy again.
00:40:44Me too.
00:40:44I don't think we will.
00:40:45I think we really scared him off last time.
00:40:47Oh, my God.
00:40:49Look at the cabs around, dude.
00:40:51Chris.
00:40:56You thought you'd get rid of me, huh?
00:40:58Well, I'm not dead yet.
00:41:04Oh, stay right there.
00:41:08Unbelievable.
00:41:09He just crawls right back into our home like a stray.
00:41:12Somebody should call animal control.
00:41:14No need.
00:41:15No need.
00:41:16We can evict him ourselves.
00:41:18Tonight.
00:41:19Good.
00:41:22Sofia.
00:41:26Look at me.
00:41:29No looks.
00:41:30You are not a husband.
00:41:32You are not a son-in-law.
00:41:34And you are not part of this family anymore.
00:41:37Tom?
00:41:39Show him the door.
00:41:40Oh, but don't let him step on the lawn because the gardener just planted my favorite flowers.
00:41:44And if he steps on them, I'll just be so obsessed.
00:41:46Of course I need you.
00:41:47Alright.
00:41:48I know where the door is, Tom.
00:41:52Are you coming with me?
00:41:57Don't you dare?
00:42:00Do you want to kill your father with the stress?
00:42:07Do you want that on your conscience?
00:42:15Chris, I'm sorry.
00:42:26You're gonna regret this.
00:42:29All of you.
00:42:31For every word.
00:42:33Every choice that you made today.
00:42:37Sure, whatever.

00:42:40There's the door, champ.
00:42:41Here.

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