00:00:03Breaking news. Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack. In the past hour alone, the conglomerate has lost over
00:00:10a billion dollars in ARKU's situation.
00:00:13Help me up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:16Help me up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:18Help me up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:23No, you have to.
00:00:24I need you to buy the stock, alright?
00:00:26You gotta do this now.
00:00:28This isn't some random dip. Whoever's shorting us came prepared. They're tearing us apart.
00:00:32We can't hold the line. We're about to become the laughingstock of Wall Street.
00:00:35No, no, we're not finished.
00:00:38We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:43The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:48Julia, we need you. Again.
00:00:51Shit. Shit.
00:00:55Give me a sec.
00:01:00Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:03Good, good, yeah. I just need to ask you for a little favor.
00:01:12Julian, you saved my ass last time. I owe you. I'm moving liquidity to Harper now.
00:01:19Great.
00:01:23The stock price is recovering. How is that possible?
00:01:27Did Mr. Clark just fix this with a few calls?
00:01:30Julian, what would Harper do without you?
00:01:33Julian, Damien's assistant called. Called in all hands. All department leads. Conference room in ten minutes. Chairman's orders.
00:01:41Why would Damien call in the meeting? He despises you. Watch your back.
00:01:46Please step back with me.
00:01:56Ladies.
00:02:14Today, Damien successfully neutralized the short attack against Harper
00:02:18and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:20Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:29Since when does Damien own house of takeover from a hole in the ground?
00:02:32He must have stole this win from someone else.
00:02:34Remember what he did to Anthony from Investments?
00:02:37Damien took credit for his deal.
00:02:39Anthony pushed back, and Damien used his pull with Serena to get him fired.
00:02:48Hello? Is there a problem?
00:02:51Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the fire, the least that every single one of you
00:02:55can do.
00:02:55Damien.
00:02:58Of course.
00:03:00Questions?
00:03:02I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:09Julian, your company just went through a crisis, and you're up here gaming?
00:03:16Keep sharing. I'm listening.
00:03:20This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:24Wait, I'm sorry, everyone. I forgot. You're just the resident good for nothing. My strategies, you probably couldn't comprehend them,
00:03:32let alone ask a decent goddamn question.
00:03:39Well, since you're so keen on getting my contribution, let's start with a question.
00:03:44Which funds were behind the short attack? And what was their distinct objective? And what specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:50Doesn't matter. What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:53You can't even name the enemy?
00:03:55All right, fine. Next question.
00:03:57Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights? And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for
00:04:02the capital injection?
00:04:03Well, well, well, well, yeah, well, well, well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:11All right. So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room, the countermeasures for
00:04:16a potential proxies fight, or which SCC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:23Let's be real.
00:04:25You are nothing but a glory hound who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees for you.
00:04:35Bullied!
00:04:40You, a useless, game-addicted fucking loser, dare to question me?
00:04:44You know what, Clark? You're fucking fired!
00:04:47Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:59You hear that, Dad?
00:05:00I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:05Understood.
00:05:07Now, the hearing's not enough. I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company. Now.
00:05:15You took our family's market cap and raised it to three trillion dollars.
00:05:21You've proven everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:24Now, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:27Harper's, uh, old friends, good staff, you know?
00:05:31Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper.
00:05:34What you're talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:36Feelings can grow, brat.
00:05:38Our families go way back.
00:05:40Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:43My life, my choice.
00:05:44Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that-
00:05:47Enough!
00:05:48Oh, that's it.
00:05:49You're going to do this.
00:05:51I've already arranged everything.
00:05:52You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:55Go work with Serena.
00:05:57And date her properly, hmm?
00:06:02You refuse.
00:06:04Okay.
00:06:05Nurse, Dr. Ann, check it out.
00:06:07Well, my grandson won't listen.
00:06:08What's the point?
00:06:09Okay.
00:06:09Let the heart attack take me now.
00:06:11Okay, all right.
00:06:12I'll go.
00:06:14I know what I've been asking.
00:06:17For years, you've carried this family on your back.
00:06:20We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:23The Harper's never in trouble.
00:06:25We do not abandon our own.
00:06:28Use that brilliant head of yours.
00:06:31Enough.
00:06:33Please.
00:06:34For me.
00:06:35Fine.
00:06:37I'll do it.
00:06:39I hear you.
00:06:47For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked,
00:06:50using every resource, every contact to help her.
00:06:53I pulled Harper Enterprise from the brink of bankruptcy
00:06:55and made it soar.
00:06:56I made Serena Harper, the queen of this city's business world.
00:06:59And for what?
00:07:00So she could give my triumphs and victories
00:07:03to that sycophant Damien?
00:07:05It's time to come home.
00:07:09Come on.
00:07:12You asked for my opinion, and you couldn't handle it.
00:07:15So, pathetic.
00:07:17I said you're fired.
00:07:18Get your shit and get the fuck out of my door.
00:07:21I heard you.
00:07:22I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay,
00:07:24and then I'm gone.
00:07:25I said now, or I'm going to call security,
00:07:27and you're going to drag your ass out.
00:07:29Suit yourself.
00:07:31Julian, this is Harper Enterprise,
00:07:34not your family's playground.
00:07:36Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:39You will leave.
00:07:40Now, do not disrupt this company any further.
00:07:43Serena, is that really the best play you want to make here?
00:07:45I will not repeat it.
00:07:47And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:49You know what, Serena?
00:07:50Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:58You don't push your luck, Clark.
00:08:00The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door
00:08:02in the first place is because of your dusty fucking engagement
00:08:05to Serena, and you have the audacity
00:08:07to act all high and mighty?
00:08:08You're fucking nothing.
00:08:10You're a little trust fund, entitled piece of shit baby.
00:08:14I mean, even your fiance is telling you to get lost,
00:08:16so why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor
00:08:18and get lost before I fucking report what?
00:08:28You broke my teeth.
00:08:30You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole?
00:08:32$100,000!
00:08:36We lost your balance.
00:08:39Maybe work on your course rate.
00:08:40Julian, that is enough.
00:08:41Disrupting proceedings?
00:08:43Assault?
00:08:44Destruction of property?
00:08:45As CEO of Harper Enterprise,
00:08:48I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:49Effective immediately.
00:08:51Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:53Serena, he broke my watch.
00:08:54The gift you got me for my birthday,
00:08:56he has to pay for it.
00:08:57Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:08:58Either pay up,
00:08:59or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:05Fine.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:08Is it $100,000?
00:09:10What $100,000?
00:09:11It's a million.
00:09:13A million for that.
00:09:14It's a gift from Serena.
00:09:15It's priceless.
00:09:17A million dollars being generous.
00:09:18You could fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:20A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:23He does have a point card.
00:09:24You break it, you buy it.
00:09:26That's the rule.
00:09:27Though on your salary,
00:09:29it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:35Well,
00:09:36you gonna wire me the money?
00:09:38Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:40And if so,
00:09:40you can crawl out of here,
00:09:42and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:46So what if you're Serena's fiancé?
00:09:49Look at her now.
00:09:50She won't lift a finger for you,
00:09:51useless coward.
00:09:53A million dollars.
00:09:55That's the final offer?
00:09:57What do you mean?
00:10:02Hi, I need a million dollars
00:10:04brought to the main conference room
00:10:05at Harper Headquarters.
00:10:16I need a million dollars
00:10:18brought to the main conference room
00:10:19at Harper Headquarters.
00:10:23You just called for a million dollars in cash,
00:10:26like a stakeout?
00:10:27What's next?
00:10:28A private army?
00:10:29All right, Julian,
00:10:30the charade ends now.
00:10:31Leave the company,
00:10:32and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:33But our family's engagement
00:10:35is over.
00:10:37We are done.
00:10:38You sure?
00:10:39Whoa, whoa,
00:10:40you heard that, Julian?
00:10:41Your engagement's over.
00:10:43Now get out before I...
00:10:44Bro, get your hands off me!
00:10:49Put your fucking hands on me.
00:10:51You know what?
00:10:52I'm gonna wipe that smug...
00:10:53fucking look off your face!
00:10:58Enough!
00:11:03Mr. Brooks?
00:11:07That's David Brooks.
00:11:08Prisoner of Harvey View Bank.
00:11:09What's a Wall Street titan doing on a conference room?
00:11:12Do you think it has to do with the 100 million loan?
00:11:13It can't be.
00:11:14That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:19Mr. Clark.
00:11:20The one million.
00:11:22As requested.
00:11:30Mr. Brooks,
00:11:31I'm shaking,
00:11:32I'm broken,
00:11:33we stand tall.
00:11:42What?
00:11:43What?
00:11:46Mr. Brooks,
00:11:47personally delivering cash?
00:11:49To Julian?
00:11:49Wait,
00:11:50the money is...
00:11:51it's real?
00:11:52Wait,
00:11:54delivered by Mr. Brooks,
00:11:55I mean,
00:11:56wait,
00:11:56who are you?
00:12:00Much appreciated.
00:12:01You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:09Mr. Brooks,
00:12:10sir,
00:12:11we are
00:12:11so honored
00:12:13by your visit.
00:12:14My grandfather,
00:12:14he speaks of you often.
00:12:16I'm sure he'd
00:12:17love to get a round of golf
00:12:18scheduled with you sometime.
00:12:20Mr. Clark,
00:12:22is there anything else you require?
00:12:24My resources are available.
00:12:25You dispose them.
00:12:26No,
00:12:26thank you.
00:12:27You can go down.
00:12:28Of course.
00:12:36A company
00:12:37where executives throw chairs
00:12:39during a meeting?
00:12:40Unprofessional.
00:12:42I'm suspending
00:12:43the 100 million dollar deal.
00:12:44We'll reassess
00:12:45when there's
00:12:45adult supervision.
00:12:47Yes, sir.
00:12:48Mr. Brooks,
00:12:50I...
00:12:53Damien messed up
00:12:53such a huge loan.
00:12:54Let's see him explain this
00:12:55to the chairman.
00:12:56The chairman won't have his head.
00:12:59This is all your fault,
00:13:00all right?
00:13:01You gotta fix this.
00:13:02You call him back here
00:13:02and get that loan
00:13:03reinstated,
00:13:04or I swear,
00:13:04I'm gonna...
00:13:04You're the one that pissed off
00:13:05Mr. Brooks,
00:13:06not me.
00:13:08As for us,
00:13:11one million in full,
00:13:13which makes this watch...
00:13:18it's mine.
00:13:20You arrogant.
00:13:22Son of a bitch!
00:13:26I bet this is all the money
00:13:27that you have,
00:13:28isn't it?
00:13:28I bet you ought to sell
00:13:29your house
00:13:29to scrape this together,
00:13:30you fucking loser.
00:13:36but it's all mine now.
00:13:37Yeah, sure,
00:13:38the debt for the watch
00:13:39is settled,
00:13:40but can we talk about
00:13:41compensation for my laptop?
00:13:42That useless piece of junk,
00:13:43how much could that
00:13:43possibly be worth?
00:13:45Oh,
00:13:46I don't know,
00:13:46maybe about
00:13:48a hundred million?
00:13:49A hundred million dollars!
00:13:54For a laptop?
00:13:55Have you lost your mind?
00:13:58A hundred million.
00:14:00For a laptop.
00:14:01Julian,
00:14:02the law requires compensation
00:14:04for actual value,
00:14:05which your committee
00:14:06is extortion.
00:14:07That's illegal!
00:14:08So,
00:14:09him extorting me
00:14:10for a million
00:14:10was legal then, right?
00:14:12By the way,
00:14:12where was your sound
00:14:13legal advice
00:14:13two minutes ago?
00:14:14Huh?
00:14:15That's conservative.
00:14:16Enough!
00:14:18Julian,
00:14:20you know,
00:14:20I know you think
00:14:21you're right,
00:14:21but a stellar laptop
00:14:23costs a few thousand dollars?
00:14:25A hundred million dollars?
00:14:28I...
00:14:29Dream on.
00:14:29Sure,
00:14:30a standard stellar
00:14:31isn't worth that much,
00:14:32but this isn't a standard,
00:14:34is it?
00:14:34What is it,
00:14:34made of gold?
00:14:35Even then,
00:14:36it still wouldn't cost
00:14:36a hundred million fucking dollars!
00:14:38You know what?
00:14:39You need to get
00:14:40the fuck out of here!
00:14:48Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:50That's Bill Sullivan,
00:14:52SVP for Stellar.
00:14:53Here?
00:14:54You think he's about
00:14:54the $300 million
00:14:55partnership here?
00:14:56$300 million?
00:14:57That's huge for us,
00:14:58but pocket change
00:14:59for Stellar.
00:15:00Why would Mr. Sullivan
00:15:01come in person?
00:15:03Mr. Sullivan?
00:15:04Uh,
00:15:05what an unexpected honor.
00:15:06I'm Sabrina Harper,
00:15:08uh, CEO.
00:15:09what do we owe the...
00:15:10Mr. Clark,
00:15:11our security have detected
00:15:12an urgent impact
00:15:13alert from your device,
00:15:14and the signal
00:15:15originated here.
00:15:16We were concerned
00:15:17for your safety
00:15:17and came immediately.
00:15:19Mr. Sullivan's here
00:15:20for Julian, too?
00:15:21Because his laptop impact
00:15:22triggered an alarm?
00:15:24Unbelievable.
00:15:25Mr. Clark,
00:15:26are you all right?
00:15:27Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:27It just took a fall.
00:15:30God,
00:15:31this damage is significant.
00:15:33With the custom components,
00:15:35preliminary repairs,
00:15:36estimate,
00:15:37this could be $30 million.
00:15:41$30 million?
00:15:43No, no, no, no,
00:15:43to fix a fucking laptop?
00:15:45That's impossible!
00:15:47There's no way!
00:15:47Are you questioning me?
00:15:49No, I just...
00:15:50I'll open your eyes.
00:15:51This is a one-off laptop
00:15:52with Stellar's quantum processors
00:15:54and proprietary components.
00:15:55You better pray
00:15:56that those data partitions
00:15:58are intact
00:15:58or that compensation
00:15:59will ruin you.
00:16:00I just had the critical,
00:16:02critical data corruption here.
00:16:03It's highly confidential files,
00:16:06high market value.
00:16:07I mean,
00:16:08with our declarations,
00:16:09this is at least
00:16:09$70 million.
00:16:12What?
00:16:13$70 million?
00:16:15What?
00:16:15Mr. Clark
00:16:16has the data
00:16:17on his laptop
00:16:17registered with
00:16:18monetary values
00:16:19to the security division.
00:16:21All damages
00:16:22to our fullest extent.
00:16:24here.
00:16:25Receipts for the hardware
00:16:26and the notarized value
00:16:28declarations for the data.
00:16:29See for yourself.
00:16:39Who carries around
00:16:40a $100 million laptop?
00:16:45Who exactly are you?
00:16:47You don't get to know.
00:16:49In fact,
00:16:50can we stay on topic
00:16:50about my compensation?
00:16:51There's no way
00:16:52that there's a fucking laptop
00:16:53that cost $100 million.
00:16:55You know what?
00:16:56This is a fucking scam.
00:16:57These two,
00:16:57they're working together.
00:16:59I'm telling you,
00:16:59it's a con.
00:17:00Are you serious?
00:17:01I'm Blake Sullivan.
00:17:02I'm the senior vice president
00:17:03of Stellar.
00:17:04I don't fly across the city
00:17:06a scam and nobody like you.
00:17:07Listen,
00:17:08I'm so.
00:17:09Ms. Harper,
00:17:10this is the employee you hire.
00:17:12He's a fool.
00:17:13And it speaks volumes
00:17:14about your company's judgment.
00:17:16Oh,
00:17:17by the way,
00:17:17our partnership deal?
00:17:19Consider it terminated.
00:17:20What?
00:17:21Um,
00:17:23Mr. Sullivan,
00:17:23please.
00:17:24Damien is just,
00:17:25he's stressed.
00:17:26He didn't mean.
00:17:27Save it.
00:17:28You take care of
00:17:29Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:31You,
00:17:32if you dispute evaluations,
00:17:33we can settle it in court.
00:17:35My legal team
00:17:36has 965 lawyers.
00:17:38I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:42Stiller's legal team
00:17:44is legendary.
00:17:45He never lost.
00:17:46Damien can't fight this.
00:17:48Hell,
00:17:48the entire Harper Enterprise
00:17:50doesn't have the resources
00:17:51to fight this.
00:17:52He's done for.
00:17:55So,
00:17:56I'm going to help.
00:17:57Please.
00:18:01Please.
00:18:05Mr. Sullivan,
00:18:07Harper Enterprise
00:18:07will provide full compensation.
00:18:10Will that suffice?
00:18:11I'm just here to certify facts.
00:18:13You need to discuss details
00:18:14with the laptop owner.
00:18:18Full payment
00:18:19in my account
00:18:20within three days.
00:18:23In that case,
00:18:24we're done here.
00:18:25Mr. Clark,
00:18:26you call me with anything else?
00:18:28I'll do it.
00:18:29Mr. Sullivan,
00:18:30are our partners?
00:18:30Ms. Harper,
00:18:31get your house in order first.
00:18:34Stellar has standards.
00:18:35We don't partner
00:18:36with clown shows.
00:18:38That'll be all.
00:18:39Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:40That's funny.
00:18:42Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:43A hundred million on the line
00:18:44and you swoop in
00:18:45the cover for him.
00:18:46You know,
00:18:47I just hope that your father
00:18:48and your grandfather
00:18:49are as generous
00:18:50as you are.
00:18:52Whether her father
00:18:53or Chairman Harper
00:18:54approve is none
00:18:54of your goddamn business.
00:18:56We don't need someone
00:18:57like you
00:18:57worrying about it.
00:18:59He's right.
00:19:01Julianna,
00:19:01I give you my word.
00:19:02The full amount
00:19:03will be paid
00:19:03within three days,
00:19:04but under one condition.
00:19:06Our engagement
00:19:07ends for good
00:19:08and you
00:19:09will leave Harper Enterprise
00:19:12now.
00:19:13You hear that, Julian?
00:19:14You know,
00:19:15I'll admit it.
00:19:15Yeah, you got the money,
00:19:16but it's not about
00:19:17what you made.
00:19:17It's your family's fucking money
00:19:18and now you're just
00:19:19a spoiled little trust fund baby
00:19:20who's been fired.
00:19:21So get the fuck out!
00:19:24Get the fuck out?
00:19:26One of us
00:19:27just torpedoed
00:19:28a hundred million dollar loan
00:19:29and a three hundred million dollar deal.
00:19:31Remind me,
00:19:32which one of us
00:19:33should actually
00:19:33get the fuck out?
00:19:35Serena,
00:19:35I think it is actually
00:19:36time to call your grandfather.
00:19:37He could definitely
00:19:38settle all of this.
00:19:42Stop.
00:19:43Stop!
00:19:48This boy, too,
00:19:49I think he has
00:19:49the fucking right
00:19:50to call Chairman Harper.
00:19:51Who gives you
00:19:52the goddamn right?
00:19:55Funny.
00:19:56Guy hides behind a woman
00:19:57to pay his bill.
00:19:58Remind me,
00:19:59which one of us
00:19:59is the real boy toy?
00:20:02You.
00:20:13Get the fuck out!
00:20:15Julian,
00:20:15I don't care
00:20:16what kind of connections
00:20:17you think you have.
00:20:18This is Harper Enterprise.
00:20:20I'm the one
00:20:21in charge here.
00:20:23Security,
00:20:24remove him.
00:20:27Julian,
00:20:28please,
00:20:29don't make us
00:20:30get physical.
00:20:30I'm the one
00:20:31Chairman Harper
00:20:31personally brought in.
00:20:32You really want
00:20:33to lay hands on me?
00:20:35Chairman Harper
00:20:36brought you in?
00:20:37Julian,
00:20:38have you lost
00:20:38your fucking mind?
00:20:40Who do you think
00:20:41you are?
00:20:41You think
00:20:42you're fucking
00:20:43worth it?
00:20:43Julian,
00:20:44I've already
00:20:44given you more
00:20:45courtesy
00:20:45than you deserve.
00:20:46The more you
00:20:47cling on like this,
00:20:48the more disgusting
00:20:49you become to me.
00:20:51Do it.
00:20:54It looks like
00:20:55I don't need
00:20:56that phone call.
00:20:56Still running
00:20:57your mouth,
00:20:57huh?
00:20:58Move.
00:20:59Get me the fuck out of here.
00:21:05What the hell
00:21:06is going on in here?
00:21:09Stand down!
00:21:10All of you!
00:21:11You!
00:21:11Out of here!
00:21:12Now!
00:21:13Dad?
00:21:14Grandpa?
00:21:14What are you doing here?
00:21:20Julian,
00:21:22I've been filled in
00:21:23on everything
00:21:23that's going on today.
00:21:25I know that you've
00:21:27been wronged
00:21:27by this guy.
00:21:30Please accept
00:21:31my apology
00:21:32for everything.
00:21:34Chairman Harper
00:21:35apologizing
00:21:36to Julian?
00:21:38Grandpa,
00:21:39what are you doing?
00:21:41Chairman Harper,
00:21:43he's a loser
00:21:43who's addicted
00:21:44to playing games.
00:21:45How could you
00:21:45possibly?
00:21:46Shut up!
00:21:54Serena,
00:21:56how dare you
00:21:56disrespect Julian?
00:21:58Dad,
00:21:58I don't care
00:21:58what kind of
00:21:59background Julian has.
00:22:00You can't just
00:22:00hit people.
00:22:01I wish we
00:22:02hit him more.
00:22:03Serena,
00:22:04do you even
00:22:05have any idea
00:22:06who Julian Clark
00:22:07is?
00:22:08We didn't tell you
00:22:09everything because
00:22:09of your ego.
00:22:10And I didn't
00:22:11want to hurt
00:22:11your feelings.
00:22:12We're going
00:22:12to announce
00:22:13everything
00:22:13once the engagement
00:22:14was formerly
00:22:15set.
00:22:16But who knew?
00:22:17Serena,
00:22:18you've been
00:22:18blind.
00:22:20Julian is...
00:22:21Thomas,
00:22:21you can't force
00:22:22something that
00:22:22isn't there.
00:22:23No real feelings,
00:22:24no need to go
00:22:25forward with the
00:22:26engagement.
00:22:27Julian,
00:22:27please,
00:22:28understand,
00:22:29all of this
00:22:30is on us.
00:22:31Everything that's
00:22:32happened here today
00:22:33is the fault
00:22:33of the Harper
00:22:34family.
00:22:35Give me a chance
00:22:36to make it
00:22:37right.
00:22:41Apologize to
00:22:42Julian,
00:22:42now!
00:22:43No!
00:22:44I don't care
00:22:45who you are,
00:22:45Julian.
00:22:47To me,
00:22:47you're still
00:22:48just a spoiled
00:22:49brat who thinks
00:22:50of himself as
00:22:50some sort of
00:22:51genius.
00:22:52But in reality,
00:22:53all you know
00:22:54is playing
00:22:55video games.
00:22:57I see right
00:22:58through you,
00:22:59and I will not
00:23:00apologize to you!
00:23:01Serena,
00:23:02enough!
00:23:03Julian,
00:23:04she's just
00:23:04being foolish.
00:23:05Let me apologize.
00:23:06Save it.
00:23:08Serena can't
00:23:09manage an apology
00:23:09herself,
00:23:11and I have no
00:23:11reason to protect
00:23:12this company
00:23:12anymore.
00:23:15Issue my
00:23:15order.
00:23:16Suspend all
00:23:17support for
00:23:18Harper Enterprise.
00:23:19Cease every
00:23:20protective measure
00:23:21effective immediately.
00:23:22Julian,
00:23:23please,
00:23:23don't!
00:23:24Without you,
00:23:24this place
00:23:25doesn't survive.
00:23:26Look!
00:23:29Whoa!
00:23:30What?
00:23:35I guess you
00:23:36would've just
00:23:36pulled the orders.
00:23:37What do you
00:23:38mean,
00:23:38hostile takeover?
00:23:39All of our
00:23:40investors pulled
00:23:41out.
00:23:41How can that
00:23:41be?
00:23:46Harper Enterprise
00:23:47stock plunges
00:23:4830% in minutes,
00:23:49wiping out
00:23:50billions in
00:23:50market value.
00:23:52What?
00:23:52My entire
00:23:53division just
00:23:53stopped.
00:23:54We can't
00:23:54operate like
00:23:55this.
00:23:55A stunning
00:23:56reversal.
00:23:57Harper Enterprise's
00:23:58many allies
00:23:59withdraw their
00:23:59investments in
00:24:00an instant,
00:24:01leaving the
00:24:01group facing
00:24:02massive losses.
00:24:03Could it be
00:24:04all these months
00:24:05the company's
00:24:06been supported
00:24:06by Julian?
00:24:08Shocking
00:24:08Wall Street.
00:24:10Why did Harper
00:24:11Enterprises
00:24:11suddenly lose
00:24:12power?
00:24:13What caused
00:24:14them to lose
00:24:15their backing?
00:24:16How is that
00:24:17possible?
00:24:18Are you
00:24:19attacking the
00:24:20company?
00:24:20No matter
00:24:21who is behind
00:24:21this, I,
00:24:22Sarita, will
00:24:23never bow
00:24:24down to you!
00:24:27Harper
00:24:28Enterprise will
00:24:28not yield to
00:24:29any market
00:24:29attacks, do
00:24:30whatever it
00:24:31takes to
00:24:31stabilize the
00:24:31stocks!
00:24:32Harper, this
00:24:33isn't a
00:24:34race!
00:24:34Our major
00:24:35partners are
00:24:35terminating
00:24:36their contracts
00:24:37and our
00:24:37own liquidity
00:24:38can't cover
00:24:39the gas!
00:24:40This continues,
00:24:41the stock
00:24:41will crash
00:24:42straight through
00:24:42the floor!
00:24:44What did
00:24:44you say?
00:24:46Damn it!
00:24:47How could that
00:24:48trash have
00:24:49such kind of
00:24:49power?
00:24:50Why him?
00:24:51I won't
00:24:51accept this!
00:24:52I won't!
00:24:52Serena, how
00:24:53can you stand
00:24:54there and watch
00:24:55Harper
00:24:55Enterprises
00:24:56burn to the
00:24:57ground around
00:24:57your feet?
00:24:58Apologize to
00:24:59Julian!
00:25:00No!
00:25:04Serena,
00:25:05apologize.
00:25:08Serena...
00:25:18Serena, Serena, do not apologize.
00:25:20Harper Enterprises is worth hundreds of billions of dollars!
00:25:23Do you really think we can't survive without him?
00:25:26Let's just get through this crisis and I swear I will make him pay for everything that he has done
00:25:30to you!
00:25:31Oh, no!
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:35It's your fucking fault!
00:25:36You apologize to Julian right now!
00:25:38Get on your knees!
00:25:40Dad!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:43Dad, stop!
00:25:45Damien has only ever stood up for me!
00:25:47He is the only one who actually cares about me and I won't let you treat him like this!
00:25:50Stay out of the way!
00:25:51No!
00:25:53You're really gonna go to war with Julian over this snake?
00:25:57Do you even have any idea who he really is?
00:25:59Whoever he is, it doesn't give him the right to just bully people like this!
00:26:03I cannot stand bullies who throw their weight around and today that is exactly what you look like to me!
00:26:10Serena, that is enough!
00:26:11So wait, you hate bullies who throw their weight around, right?
00:26:14What about this guy?
00:26:15What about him?
00:26:16He hides behind your name to steal other people's work.
00:26:18He throws tea on me in this very room.
00:26:21He squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a $100,000 wash.
00:26:24Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:26Oh, I...
00:26:28But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:31Yeah, you're no saint.
00:26:33You're just biased.
00:26:36You know, I've been engaged to you for the past six months.
00:26:39I have asked you out 37 times.
00:26:42Yeah, because I thought we should at least get to know each other.
00:26:44Every time I have asked you out, you said, I'm too busy with work.
00:26:48But that wasn't the truth.
00:26:50The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant.
00:26:53Listen to him and sing your praises, right?
00:26:57Who's that?
00:26:59Oh, let me guess.
00:27:00Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:05Just ignore him.
00:27:06Is he still your fiancé?
00:27:09Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:12I just, I can't stand him.
00:27:15A spoiled heir who thinks the world revolves around him?
00:27:20So what if I did?
00:27:22Who I choose to hang out with is my own choice.
00:27:25We're engaged, not married.
00:27:27I can see whoever I want.
00:27:30Serena, shut up.
00:27:32No, I am not done.
00:27:34Damien has worked himself to the bone.
00:27:37He is driven and disciplined,
00:27:39and when Harper first went public,
00:27:41he was a key reason that we made it.
00:27:43If you had even half his talent, Julian,
00:27:46maybe I would have said yes to you once.
00:27:49But you don't.
00:27:53Damien was a key reason you made it.
00:27:54That's your story, right?
00:27:56What is so funny?
00:27:57I mean, I'm laughing at just how foolish you are.
00:28:01Do you know why, for the past six months,
00:28:03all of your proposals have sailed through?
00:28:05Why every deal that you like happened to have closed?
00:28:09Why every time that you wanted a loan,
00:28:11the banks rolled out a special fast track for you?
00:28:13Because Damien is brilliant.
00:28:15Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way.
00:28:18Damien?
00:28:19Brilliant?
00:28:20That was Julian.
00:28:22Julian is the one who quietly has held
00:28:25this entire thing together.
00:28:27Serena.
00:28:28No, that is impossible.
00:28:31I don't believe it.
00:28:41Hey.
00:28:42Eyes up, Serena.
00:28:43In the past six months,
00:28:45I've called in 47 separate connections
00:28:47and cleared a path for you.
00:28:48Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange.
00:28:50And you know,
00:28:51I made you Wall Street's business queen.
00:28:53That's Iron Gate, North Bridge,
00:28:55and even Silver Line.
00:28:56Those are all the top 50 global giants.
00:28:58They've all been backing us behind the scenes?
00:29:00No wonder every project went so smoothly.
00:29:03Julian's the one with this kind of network.
00:29:05Damien's got some nerve stealing credit
00:29:07for something like this.
00:29:08That's a death wish.
00:29:12No, no, no.
00:29:13It's not true, huh?
00:29:14Harper Enterprise is what it is
00:29:16because of me and my hard work
00:29:18and my connections.
00:29:19You period fool.
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here
00:29:23and steal credit from everything?
00:29:25Oh.
00:29:31All right, that's enough.
00:29:34I finally got the all clear for my grandfather.
00:29:36I can go home.
00:29:37So as of right now,
00:29:39our engagement is terminated.
00:29:40Julian, all of this has been our fault.
00:29:43But the engagement...
00:29:45Let him go.
00:29:46I don't need a fiance
00:29:47who uses his family background
00:29:48to wreck people.
00:29:52Without my connections
00:29:53and my network,
00:29:55Harper Enterprise's stock
00:29:56is going to keep falling.
00:29:57And it's going to go right back
00:29:58to where it was six months ago.
00:30:01Wait, wait, wait.
00:30:02Get in here.
00:30:03Go on.
00:30:04Prepare yourselves.
00:30:06Julian.
00:30:06Julian.
00:30:07Stop sitting.
00:30:08Julian.
00:30:09Julian.
00:30:11Serena.
00:30:12You silly, foolish, foolish girl.
00:30:16Grandpa, I have never been clearer.
00:30:19With or without him,
00:30:20I will lead Harper Enterprise
00:30:21back to the top.
00:30:22Serena's right.
00:30:23Mr. Harper,
00:30:24Chairman Harper,
00:30:25I'm going to stand by Serena's side
00:30:26and I'm going to give her
00:30:27everything that I've got.
00:30:29Crap.
00:30:30I'm going to beat the crap
00:30:31out of you once and for all.
00:30:33Dad, that is enough.
00:30:35Dad?
00:30:37Grandpa?
00:30:38I know you have your issues
00:30:39with Damien,
00:30:40but I believe
00:30:41he will prove himself to you.
00:30:43And so will I.
00:30:46I will show everyone here
00:30:48that what Harper achieved
00:30:49over the past six months
00:30:50was my work.
00:30:51It has nothing to do with Julian.
00:30:54This meeting is over.
00:30:57Serena, wait up.
00:30:59You.
00:30:59God.
00:31:00Tell me what to do
00:31:01with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:07Serena.
00:31:08Serena.
00:31:09Don't even worry about that.
00:31:10I know our Enterprise
00:31:11took a huge hit today,
00:31:12but as long as we lock down
00:31:13Amber Group's Cressel 8 project,
00:31:15change the game
00:31:16and everyone will still think
00:31:17that we're in control.
00:31:18Easy.
00:31:20The $3 billion Cressel 8 project.
00:31:23If we can win that contract,
00:31:25we can wipe all the problems
00:31:26we've been facing.
00:31:28Damien,
00:31:29you've secured
00:31:30several of Amber Group's
00:31:31projects before
00:31:32and I'm going to put this one
00:31:34in your hands too.
00:31:35It's not going to be a problem,
00:31:36right?
00:31:36No, no, absolutely.
00:31:37You can't have me.
00:31:38Amber Group's
00:31:39deputy VP of projects,
00:31:41I mean,
00:31:41and he trusts me completely.
00:31:43He else has been his eyes.
00:31:52Get the Cressel 8 contract ready.
00:31:54Same as always.
00:31:55Once the Harper team arrives,
00:31:57we hand it straight to them.
00:31:58Miss Lawson,
00:31:59we just got an update.
00:32:00Julian Clark has been kicked
00:32:01out of Harper Enterprise.
00:32:03The engagement is off.
00:32:04Serena fired him
00:32:05and ended it.
00:32:08Are you sure?
00:32:10Absolutely.
00:32:11Word is she listened
00:32:12to her assistant Damien
00:32:13who really stirred the pot
00:32:14and then Serena
00:32:15personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:17Serena really thinks
00:32:18she got where she is
00:32:19because of Damien?
00:32:20That for your little lap dog?
00:32:22Then do we still hand
00:32:24the Crescent Lake project
00:32:25over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:26Without Julian,
00:32:27Harper Enterprise really thinks
00:32:29it's worthy of Crescent Lake?
00:32:31Not a chance.
00:32:32Open it to public bidding.
00:32:34Yes, ma'am.
00:32:42Now that is an amazing shot,
00:32:44Mr. Brooks.
00:32:45Damien,
00:32:46Crescent Lake's public bid
00:32:48is coming up soon.
00:32:49How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:05What does this mean, huh?
00:33:08Mr. Brooks,
00:33:08why don't you do yourself a favor
00:33:09and take a closer look?
00:33:12That's one million
00:33:14in clean crypto,
00:33:16untraceable.
00:33:17Harper Enterprise
00:33:18is totally prepared
00:33:19to take on Crescent Lake.
00:33:21We just need you
00:33:23to give us a little
00:33:23extra attention.
00:33:25Oh my, Damien.
00:33:27You're too kind.
00:33:28Sure, it's a public bidding
00:33:30on paper,
00:33:31but as long as I'm here,
00:33:34you've got nothing
00:33:34to worry about.
00:33:36Sit tight.
00:33:38Contract's yours.
00:33:41Miss Larson usually hands
00:33:43Harper Enterprises
00:33:44whatever they want anyway.
00:33:46Well,
00:33:48thank you very much,
00:33:49Mr. Brooks.
00:34:16well, well.
00:34:18Prince Julian.
00:34:21All right, Serena kicked you out. Six months of hard work, down the drain. What does that feel?
00:34:30Oh, I see. So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit. Is that right?
00:34:35Of course.
00:34:36Not.
00:34:39I'm here to steal you.
00:34:41You see, since your engagement is off, I was thinking, how about you consider me, huh?
00:34:54Guys like us, we don't get to escape alliances.
00:34:57Our families will bear us off either way, so why make a stranger when there's someone who actually knows me?
00:35:07You see? Childhood friends, same circles, 15 years of school. We match, you know? We fit.
00:35:21Hang on. Nora, are you saying this because you're drunk, or do you...
00:35:26Shh.
00:35:33I'm not drunk, okay? You don't have to answer me tonight, just think about it.
00:35:40Hmm?
00:35:44Shh.
00:35:45Oh, my God.
00:35:53motivates you tomorrow.
00:35:54Bye-bye.
00:36:11I told you, I'm not drunk.
00:36:13You're alright.
00:36:14You swim soon, come off.
00:36:16Oh, shit.
00:36:17I'm drunk.
00:36:19You're alright.
00:36:20You swim soon, come off.
00:36:21Oh, shit.
00:36:23I'm drunk.
00:36:39Miss Lawson, Amber Group's distinguished CEO, allow me the pleasure of introducing myself.
00:36:46Oh, I am so sorry.
00:36:48Bad, bad timing.
00:36:49Truly terrible timing.
00:36:58Don't move.
00:37:00If that jacket slips for you in a second, listen.
00:37:02Okay, but aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:05Amber Group's CEO got caught in a scandal at a pool party?
00:37:09Rumor to mom boasts to mom's company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breast
00:37:14go through.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:16Okay.
00:37:19But if you stay through to me like this for the rest of the night, I think my heart's going
00:37:27to skip on its chest.
00:37:41And suffer.
00:37:42Okay?
00:37:44If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:52Please, just walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:10Speak of the devil, of all good times.
00:38:19You know, this is a private party for Amber Group's CEO.
00:38:22You know what I lost?
00:38:23Not exactly the kind of place where anybody could just wander into.
00:38:27Oh, wait.
00:38:30Well, well.
00:38:32I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:35Feelings for Serena weren't that deep after all.
00:38:39Can I help you with something?
00:38:41Seriously?
00:38:42This woman's even prettier than Serena.
00:38:44How does a loser like Julian always get women?
00:38:47I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:38:49Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here, she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:38:55Pouring herself out like this?
00:38:58Let's be a whole digger.
00:39:00Is that so?
00:39:01Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Crescent Lake project.
00:39:09What, you're bidding too?
00:39:10Yeah, I know you got connection.
00:39:12And that's great, you know.
00:39:13But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:15Me, I got real talent.
00:39:17All right?
00:39:17And I'm going to win Crescent Lake for Serena.
00:39:19You, you're just going to fucking lose like you lose everything else.
00:39:24Good luck.
00:39:36See that?
00:39:37That is a shameless whore.
00:39:40That woman seems familiar.
00:39:42Samantha, you don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:46All right, come on.
00:39:47Let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:39:48Let's go socialize and maybe we'll run into the host of the party lost in yourself.
00:39:53And if we do, I'll make sure we're going to go to brush.
00:40:05I'm so sure I'm going to be safe.
00:40:13So that pretty boy Damien actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:19Tonight we're going to see who's really on top.
00:40:22Okay.
00:40:23Manners, this is a public event.
00:40:25What?
00:40:26You've known me since we were kids.
00:40:28Why would I pretend around you?
00:40:30But if you like classy, I can do classy.
00:40:35Oh, can you?
00:40:36You can do classy?
00:40:37Yeah.
00:40:37Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:45I'll let you get to it.
00:40:50Sally?
00:40:54Julia!
00:41:11I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:13You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:17You know what?
00:41:18Mason Brooks, Amber Group's deputy VP of projects, already agreed to award the contract to Harper
00:41:24Enterprise.
00:41:26You can't win.
00:41:31I hear the Crescent Lake project is basically yours.
00:41:34Congratulations.
00:41:36Serena, you are the business queen of Wall Street.
00:41:38And with Damien backing you up, it's unstoppable.
00:41:41When the two of you take off, don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:44Of course.
00:41:45You know, we're going to take care of you guys.
00:41:46Thank you so much.
00:41:54See that, Julian?
00:41:56Everybody already knows that Crescent Lake belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:59I suggest you walk out of here before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:42:02It's funny.
00:42:03You see, my Clark Group has deeper capital, better tech, and a stronger global record than
00:42:09Harper Enterprise.
00:42:09So, I'm just curious.
00:42:11Why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:13He recognizes Damien's talent.
00:42:15Come on, of course.
00:42:21I need to take this.
00:42:28Hi, Julian.
00:42:32What century are you living in?
00:42:34Hmm?
00:42:35You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:38Then what does?
00:42:39I ain't really that fucking stupid.
00:42:42Of course this.
00:42:45I paid Mason Brooks one million in crypto.
00:42:48What do you have that's going to be that?
00:42:51You paid Mason Brooks?
00:42:54That's impossible.
00:42:55He wouldn't dare.
00:42:56That's impossible.
00:42:57He wouldn't dare.
00:42:58Yeah, you want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart.
00:43:01But hey, you're a very lovely, beautiful escort.
00:43:05Why don't you do us all a favor?
00:43:06Get up on that stage and give us a nice little poll show.
00:43:09Hey, hey, I'm going to tell you, you want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:15Because every time I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune, capital technology is useless.
00:43:25Fucking trash.
00:43:28Mason Brooks, you've got a lot in there.
00:43:31He's finished.
00:43:32Mr. Brooks is finished.
00:43:34Who the fuck is this?
00:43:36Who are you?
00:43:37What do you think?
00:43:37You're the Amber Group CEO or something?
00:43:41Who gave you the fucking guts?
00:43:42It's adorable, no?
00:43:43Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:43:47Anti-anti-corruption?
00:43:49Hmm?
00:44:02What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:03Hmm?
00:44:04Oh!
00:44:07You hit me.
00:44:09You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:11I'm going to have Mason Brooks crush you with one phone call.
00:44:17There he is.
00:44:17Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:19You're finished.
00:44:21Mr. Brooks.
00:44:23You're thinking you're my friend?
00:44:24There's a woman here.
00:44:25So she's going to report you.
00:44:27Come on, please.
00:44:27Teach her a lesson.
00:44:28Oh, report me?
00:44:29Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:31This woman right here.
00:44:35Miss Lawson?
00:44:36She's even reported the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:39Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:41What?
00:44:42What?
00:44:46This can't be...
00:44:49Go ahead.
00:44:50Laugh.
00:44:51Laugh some more.
00:44:52Are you insane, Damien?
00:44:53You'll say anything out loud.
00:44:55Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:44:56She's just a golden whore.
00:44:58I mean, even if she rats you out, who's going to believe this?
00:45:01Why are you beating me?
00:45:03Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:05When did I ever take your money?
00:45:06I never took one cent.
00:45:09Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:11Idiot.
00:45:12Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:15Miss Lawson, this Damien, he's a lunatic.
00:45:18He's making things up.
00:45:19Don't listen to him.
00:45:20I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:24Not once.
00:45:27Miss Lawson?
00:45:30No, no, no, wait.
00:45:31You're Nora Lawson?
00:45:32Amber's group CEO?
00:45:34How is that possible?
00:45:35How is that fucking...
00:45:36Mr. Brooks!
00:45:37Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:39Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:43We promise we won't let you down.
00:45:47Stop!
00:45:48Shut the fuck up!
00:45:50When did I ever give you anything?
00:45:53Miss Lawson?
00:45:55These Harper Enterprise people, they're all out of their minds.
00:45:59They lie like the wind.
00:46:00I can't believe a word they say.
00:46:03Miss Lawson?
00:46:05Miss Lawson?
00:46:07She's Nora Lawson?
00:46:12The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:14Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:16You can leave now.
00:46:20Miss Lawson, I am so sorry.
00:46:23Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being inappropriate.
00:46:30I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:32He is blunt, yes.
00:46:34But his ability is exceptional.
00:46:38Please, give Harper Enterprise the contract, and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:46:45Exceptional ability?
00:46:47Are you sure about that?
00:46:49Of course.
00:46:50If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:46:55You're about to find out.
00:47:02Damien?
00:47:04What does she mean?
00:47:06Oh, shit.
00:47:07I can't let her find out I secured every project right.
00:47:11She's upset because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:13So she wants revenge.
00:47:15So she's going to embarrass Harper Enterprise in front of everyone.
00:47:17So what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:19Let's go.
00:47:20Go?
00:47:21If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:25Even if Miss Lawson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:29Serena, please!
00:47:30Okay, I'm sorry.
00:47:31There we go now.
00:47:33All right, I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones, but we need to go now.
00:47:36Come on!
00:47:37What is wrong with you today?
00:47:39Are you hiding something from me?
00:47:40I...
00:47:53You want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart?
00:47:57Technology capital.
00:47:59Useless fucking trash!
00:48:01What?
00:48:03Shit!
00:48:03She actually recorded it?
00:48:05An escort.
00:48:06So why don't you do us all a nice little favor?
00:48:08Get up on that stage, give us a nice little whole show.
00:48:13Who is that?
00:48:15He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:18That's Damien Blackwell, Harper Enterprise's executive assistant.
00:48:21How do you not know him?
00:48:22All of the best Amber projects being sent to Harper Enterprises over the past six months.
00:48:27And now we know they were bought.
00:48:31That's not true.
00:48:32All of that's a lie.
00:48:33Just don't...
00:48:34Just don't...
00:48:34Don't do that.
00:48:35Just turn it off.
00:48:36Turn it off right now!
00:48:37Stop him!
00:48:39Let go of me!
00:48:41Damien, you did this behind my back?
00:48:44This is your talent?
00:48:45Your ability?
00:48:47Yes, you're mean, please just see us.
00:48:49Mr. Brooks' assistant.
00:48:50What a fucking ridiculous thing to say.
00:48:52Who are you to say anything?
00:48:54What do you think, your Amber group CEO?
00:48:56Amber.
00:48:58Okay, okay.
00:48:59Turn it off, please.
00:48:59Okay?
00:49:00Okay, Ms. Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:49:02Just...
00:49:02Please stop it!
00:49:03Please!
00:49:04Please!
00:49:06Bribery is one thing, but mistaking Ms. Lawson for an escort?
00:49:10A whore?
00:49:12He's fucking blind.
00:49:13The best part?
00:49:14He confessed right in front of her that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:18Genius!
00:49:19And Serena trusted him to be her assistant?
00:49:21I mean, what does that say about her judgment?
00:49:24Damien, you have disappointed me beyond words.
00:49:28Serena, I did it because I cared about you.
00:49:30Because I care about Harper Enterprise.
00:49:32Please, I'm...
00:49:32Can you tell me the truth?
00:49:33Enough.
00:49:35Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:37Mason Brooks, you're fired.
00:49:39Effective immediately.
00:49:42I'm done.
00:49:44The Crescent Lake Project.
00:49:47Harper Enterprise is disqualified.
00:49:50Every single project Amber Group has done together with them will be suspended.
00:49:54The projects will be back for competitive bidding.
00:49:59No, no, you can't do that.
00:50:02Those projects are our next three years.
00:50:04They affect thousands of employees.
00:50:06Their lives are future.
00:50:08And why the person who hired Trash is called a talent?
00:50:13Real talent.
00:50:20Pathetic.
00:50:25Serena.
00:50:28Please, you gotta let me explain.
00:50:31Miss Lawson, wait!
00:50:32Serena!
00:50:41I just avenged you in front of a lot of people.
00:50:45Asking for our dinner isn't too much, right?
00:50:47Not at all.
00:50:49You pick.
00:50:50My treat.
00:50:51Generous.
00:50:52Let's go.
00:50:53Time to rob the tycoon.
00:50:57Miss Lawson, Damien was wrong to bribe anyone, and I apologize on his behalf.
00:51:05Just, please, give Harper Enterprise another chance.
00:51:09I will meet the highest standards.
00:51:12I will deliver a perfect result on every project.
00:51:15Perfect result?
00:51:17And what exactly guarantees that?
00:51:19Your empty suit assistant?
00:51:22Miss Lawson.
00:51:24Damien, Damien made a mistake.
00:51:26But his ability is exceptional.
00:51:30For six months, he managed every Harper Enterprise project flawlessly.
00:51:34No errors, no delays.
00:51:36If you don't pull this contract, I guarantee he will make sure you see his value.
00:51:44Managed flawlessly?
00:51:46He's not the only empty suit here.
00:51:49Year or two.
00:51:50Miss Lawson, you are crossing a line.
00:51:55I understand that you and Julian are close, and you want to get back at me for him.
00:52:01But humiliating someone like this, isn't that a little cruel?
00:52:04You really think I froze our cooperation because Damien and Bribe Mason?
00:52:10Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:11For six months, Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted from Ember Group.
00:52:19For one reason.
00:52:21Julian Clark.
00:52:23Damien has nothing to do with that.
00:52:26He was just a messenger boy who picked up the contracts.
00:52:29What?
00:52:30When Julian was there, bribe or no bribe, Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:37But now, Julian's gone, so the special treatment is gone.
00:52:42Damien's little ribbing incident?
00:52:44It was just a convenient excuse to take everything back.
00:52:47Understand now?
00:52:52And about those flawless projects, Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly because Damien is brilliant.
00:53:00It ran smoothly because Julian called every partner, every supplier, every gatekeeper, and cleared the path for you.
00:53:08Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:12No.
00:53:15That's not true.
00:53:16I don't believe it.
00:53:17You don't believe me?
00:53:18Then watch.
00:53:20Watch what happens when Julian leaves.
00:53:24Let's see if your exceptional Damien can keep everything perfect when Julian is not there to hold the world together
00:53:31for you.
00:53:33Come on, let's go.
00:53:41Julian, is what she's saying true?
00:53:45You were right about one thing, Serena.
00:53:47Julian and I are closer than you thought.
00:53:50That's why it disgusts me watching him waste his life away on a selfish and blind woman like you.
00:54:01Was I wrong?
00:54:02No, no, no, Serena, Serena.
00:54:03Do not listen to her nonsense.
00:54:05Harper's success is based off of my hard work.
00:54:08Okay, Nora Lawson, she's attacking and slandering my name to defend Julian.
00:54:14You have to believe me.
00:54:15Please, you have to understand.
00:54:16Because of you, Crescent Lake is gone.
00:54:19Every Amber project is gone.
00:54:22Harper Enterprise is on the edge of collapse and you're asking me to trust you?
00:54:27How?
00:54:28Tell me how.
00:54:30Please, just listen to me.
00:54:32Okay, yeah, we lost Amber Group, but we're not finished.
00:54:35I mean, we still have the partners and the CEOs.
00:54:37I mean, they love me.
00:54:38They absolutely love and adore me.
00:54:41I promise.
00:54:41You know what?
00:54:42Matter of fact, I'm going to call and I'm going to get you some new projects right now.
00:54:49Hello, Mr. Foster.
00:54:50It's Damien here.
00:54:51I hear the Grandview Plaza is taking bids and Harper Enterprise, you know, we would absolutely
00:54:56love.
00:54:57Harper Enterprise?
00:54:58Who the hell is that?
00:54:59Do you think you're even in the same league as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:03Uh, Mr. Foster, what do you mean?
00:55:08Last time we spoke, you said that you believed in the Harper Enterprise and that you would love
00:55:12to work together.
00:55:13Listen up.
00:55:14That's because Julian Clark was in your damn enterprise.
00:55:17I was giving him respect.
00:55:19You don't flatter yourself, bunch of blind dumbasses.
00:55:23Call me again and I'll block your fucking number.
00:55:26So what really was Julian?
00:55:28No, no, that's not possible.
00:55:30I don't believe that.
00:55:32I don't.
00:55:33Hello, Mr. Parker.
00:55:34It's Damien.
00:55:35I was hoping to talk about future collaborations.
00:55:37Damien?
00:55:38You've got the fucking nerve to call me?
00:55:40I gave Harper Enterprise projects because of Mr. Clark.
00:55:44And then you turned around and claimed you closed the deal?
00:55:48Who gave you the audacity?
00:55:50Shameless trash?
00:55:54Mr. Parker.
00:55:56Mr. Parker.
00:55:57No.
00:55:57No.
00:55:57God damn it.
00:55:59No, I don't believe this.
00:56:01I don't believe this fucking Julian this whole fucking time.
00:56:04God damn it.
00:56:06Sorry.
00:56:07Sorry.
00:56:08Hello?
00:56:09Mr. Turner.
00:56:10It's Damien.
00:56:11Damien?
00:56:12Who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:13Calling me directly?
00:56:15Learned some manners.
00:56:18Julian was polite enough to tolerate you playing sideman with his fiancee.
00:56:22I'm not.
00:56:22You bastard too.
00:56:25Mr. Turner?
00:56:27Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:30What the fuck is happening?
00:56:31What the fuck is happening?
00:56:39Ms. Harper?
00:56:40This is bad.
00:56:41Our partners are flooding us with messages.
00:56:44They're suspending contracts, pulling out of steel.
00:56:46Wait, what is happening?
00:56:48They said before they only worked with Harper Enterprise because Julian Clark backed us.
00:56:52Now that he's gone, they don't trust us with their project.
00:56:56Julian.
00:56:58It's Julian again.
00:57:02So it's true.
00:57:05They only gave us deals because of Julian.
00:57:09Julian!
00:57:10No, no, no, no.
00:57:10Sweeney, please.
00:57:11Okay?
00:57:12They're just saying that because Julian has been paying them off.
00:57:14Think about it.
00:57:15Okay?
00:57:16You know what?
00:57:16Just give you some time and I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:19I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:20I swear.
00:57:20Get away from me!
00:57:23You liar!
00:57:24You fraud, Damien!
00:57:26All those CEOs!
00:57:28They only had you pick up contracts from them.
00:57:31And you told me you negotiated the deals.
00:57:34I swear, I didn't know that they would.
00:57:39Get out of my sight.
00:57:40You liar!
00:57:48No!
00:57:55Fuck!
00:57:59Fuck! Damn it! No! I was this close to locking Serena down, stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:05I'm not letting it end like this.
00:58:12Serena, you really thought you were smart.
00:58:16But you're really just pathetic, trash.
00:58:21Without Julian, you're nothing.
00:58:26Okay.
00:58:33Dad warned you, Grandpa warned you, and you still wouldn't listen.
00:58:42You, like, learned everything Julian did and worshiped a con artist like Damien.
00:58:52Stupid.
00:59:00And now look at you.
00:59:03Projects gone.
00:59:06Company collapsing.
00:59:10Idiot.
00:59:11Arrogant.
00:59:13Stupid.
00:59:14Idiot.
00:59:16So stupid.
00:59:22Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:31I know, I know, I know, I was wrong.
00:59:49Look.
00:59:50I can't.
00:59:50Always damn Julian!
00:59:53Julian.
00:59:56Come back, okay?
00:59:58Please come back.
01:00:04Damn back.
01:00:09You don't have to be scared.
01:00:12Harper Enterprise's business queen
01:00:14So much better than those cheap girls
01:00:16Once I lock her down
01:00:17Harper Enterprise's mind
01:00:21Oh, Damien
01:00:22You sick bastard
01:00:25You sick bastard
01:00:29I really mean it
01:00:31I love you

01:01:34You're saying that you had like
01:01:36We are not that close

01:02:15Over and over and over again
01:02:19That Damien was not a good man
01:02:22And you refused to listen
01:02:25And Julian
01:02:26If Julian doesn't come along
01:02:28Just at the right time
01:02:30Oh my God

01:02:33I can't even think about it
01:02:34If you don't do something about that stubborn part of yours
