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 ARK'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 buy.
00:00:24I need you to buy the stock, alright?
00:00:25You 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.
00:00:48Julian, we need you. Again.
00:00:51Shit.
00:00:52Shit.
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.
00:02:14Today, Damien successfully neutralized the short attack against Harper and helped push our stock back up. Let's thank him for
00:02:22his outstanding contribution.
00:02:29Since when does Damien know how to take over from a hole in the ground? He must have stole this
00:02:33one from someone else.
00:02:34Remember what he did to Anthony from investments? Damien took credit for his deal. Anthony pushed back and Damien used
00:02:41his pool with Serena to get him fired.
00:02:47Hello? Is there a problem? Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the fire. The least that
00:02:54every single one of you could do.
00:02:55Damien.
00:02:58Of course. Questions? I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:10Julian, our company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:15Hiring me, Dean?
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.
00:03:29You're just the resident good for nothing. My strategy is you probably couldn't comprehend them, let alone ask a decent
00:03:34goddamn 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?
00:03:55Alright, 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?
00:04:02Well, uh, well, um, well, I, uh, well...
00:04:09Well, you can't even name the basics. Alright.
00:04:12So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room, the countermeasures for a potential
00:04:16proxy fight, or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers?
00:04:23Let's be real. You are nothing but a glory hound, who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees the video.
00:04:39You, a useless, game-addicted fucking loser, dare to question me? You know what, Clark? You're fucking fired! Now get
00:04:48your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:59You hear that, Dad? I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:05Understood.
00:05:07Well, 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. You proved everything that needs to be
00:05:23proved. Now, uh, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:26Harper's, uh, old friends, good staff, you know?
00:05:31Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper. What you're talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:36Feelings can grow, brat. Our families go way back. Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:42My life, my choice. Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that-
00:05:47Enough!
00:05:48Oh, that's it. You're going to do this. I've already arranged everything. You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:55Hey, go work with Serena. And date her properly, hm?
00:06:02You'll refuse.
00:06:04Okay. Nurse, Dr. Ann, check it out.
00:06:07Well, Grant, I won't listen. What's the point?
00:06:09Okay.
00:06:09Let the heart attack take me now!
00:06:11Okay, all right. I'll go.
00:06:14I know what I'm asking. For years, you've carried this family on your back.
00:06:20We have more now than we ever was. The Harper's never in trouble.
00:06:25We do not abandon our own. Use that brilliant head of yours.
00:06:31And help them, please, for me.
00:06:36Fine. I'll do it.
00:06:39I hear you.
00:06:47For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked, using every resource, every contact to help her.
00:06:53I pulled Harper Enterprise from the brink of bankruptcy and made it soar.
00:06:56I made Serena Harper the queen of this city's business world.
00:06:59And for what? So she could give my triumphs and victories to that sycophant, Damien?
00:07:05It's time to come home.
00:07:12You asked for my opinion, and you couldn't handle it. So, pathetic.
00:07:17I said you're fired. Get your shit and get the fuck out of my throat.
00:07:21I heard you. I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay, and then I'm gone.
00:07:25I said no! Or I'm gonna call security and I'm gonna drag your ass out.
00:07:29Suit yourself.
00:07:30Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:36Your grandfather has no authority here. You 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. And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:49You know what, Serena? Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:58You don't push your luck, Clark. The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the
00:08:02first place is because of your dusty fucking engagement to Serena.
00:08:06And you have the audacity to act all high and mighty? You're fucking nothing.
00:08:10You're a little trust-spun, entitled piece-of-shit baby.
00:08:14I mean, even your old Beyoncé is telling you to get lost.
00:08:16So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost before I fucking report what?
00:08:28You broke it. You broke my pretty.
00:08:30You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole? A hundred thousand dollars!
00:08:36We lost your balance. Maybe work on your course sheet.
00:08:40Julian, that is enough. Disrupting proceedings? Assault? Destruction of property?
00:08:45As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment. Effective immediately.
00:08:51Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:53Serena, he broke my watch. The gift you got me for my birthday, he has to pay for it.
00:08:57Okay, you got two options, asshole. Either pay up, or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:05Fine. I'll pay.
00:09:08Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:10What one hundred thousand dollars? It's a million.
00:09:13A million for that.
00:09:14It's a gift from Serena. It's priceless. A 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. It does have a point card.
00:09:24You break it, you buy it. That's the rule. Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:35Well, you gonna wire me the money? Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:40And if so, you can crawl out of here, and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:46So what if you're Serena's fiancé? Look at her now. She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:53A million dollars. That's the final offer?
00:09:57What do you mean?
00:10:02Hi, I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:16I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:23You just called for a million dollars in cash? Like a stakeout?
00:10:27What's next? A private army?
00:10:29All right, Julian. The charade ends now. Leave the company and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:33But our family's engagement is over. We are done.
00:10:39You sure?
00:10:39Whoa, whoa. You heard that, Julian? Your engagement's over. Now 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? I'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 a hundred 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.
00:11:30I'm shaken, I'm broken, we stand tall.
00:11:42What?
00:11:43What?
00:11:46Mr. Brooks.
00:11:47Personally delivering cash?
00:11:49To Julian?
00:11:50Wait, the-
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, who are you?
00:12:00Much appreciated. You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:09Mr. Brooks.
00:12:10Sir.
00:12:11We are so honored by your visit.
00:12:14My grandfather, he speaks of you often.
00:12:16I'm sure he'd love to get a round of golf scheduled with me sometime.
00:12:20Mr. Clark.
00:12:22Is there anything else you require?
00:12:24My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:26No.
00:12:27You can go now.
00:12:28Of course.
00:12:36Mr. Clark.
00:12:36A company?
00:12:37Where executives throw chairs during a meeting?
00:12:40Unprofessional.
00:12:42I'm suspended a hundred million dollar deal.
00:12:44We'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision.
00:12:47Yes, sir.
00:12:48Mr. Brooks, I-
00:12:53Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:54Let's see him explain this to the chairman.
00:12:56The chairman won't have his head.
00:12:59This is all your fault.
00:13:00Alright?
00:13:01You gotta fix this.
00:13:02You call him back here and get that loan reinstated or I swear I'm gonna-
00:13:05You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:08As for us-
00:13:11One million.
00:13:12In 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 that you have, isn't it?
00:13:28I bet you ought to sell your house to scrape this together, you fucking loser.
00:13:36But it's all mine now.
00:13:38Yeah, sure.
00:13:38The debt for the watch is settled.
00:13:40But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:42That useless piece of junk?
00:13:43How much could that possibly 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 for actual value.
00:14:05Which your committee is extortion.
00:14:07That's illegal!
00:14:08You!
00:14:08So, him extorting me for a million was legal then, right?
00:14:12By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago?
00:14:14Huh?
00:14:15That's a kisser.
00:14:16Enough!
00:14:18Julian.
00:14:20You know, I know you think you're right.
00:14:21What?
00:14:22A stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars?
00:14:26A hundred million dollars?
00:14:27I...
00:14:29Dream on.
00:14:29Sure.
00:14:30A standard stellar isn't worth that much.
00:14:32But this isn't a standard, is it?
00:14:34What is it made of gold?
00:14:35Even then, it still wouldn't cost a hundred million fucking dollars.
00:14:38You know what?
00:14:39You need to get the 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 it's about the $300 million partnership here?
00:14:56Three hundred million?
00:14:57That's huge for us, but...
00:14:59Pocket change for Stellar.
00:15:00Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:03Mr. Sullivan?
00:15:05What an unexpected honor.
00:15:06I'm Sabrina Harper.
00:15:08CEO.
00:15:08What do we owe the...
00:15:10Mr. Clark.
00:15:11Our security have detected an urgent impact alert from your device.
00:15:14And the signal originated here.
00:15:16We were concerned for your safety immediately.
00:15:18Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian too?
00:15:21Because his laptop impact triggered an alarm?
00:15:24Unbelievable.
00:15:25Mr. Clark, are you alright?
00:15:27Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:28It just...
00:15:28Took a fall.
00:15:30God.
00:15:31This damage is significant.
00:15:33With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate,
00:15:37this could be 30 million.
00:15:4130 million dollars?!
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...
00:15:50Well, open your eyes.
00:15:51This is a Windows laptop,
00:15:52with Stellar's quantum processors and proprietary components.
00:15:55You better pray that those data partitions are intact,
00:15:58or that compensation will ruin you.
00:16:00I just had the critical, critical data corruption here.
00:16:03It's highly confidential files, high market value.
00:16:07I mean, with our declarations, this is at least 70 million dollars.
00:16:1370 million dollars?!
00:16:15What?!
00:16:15Mr. Clark has the data on his laptop registered with monetary values to the security division.
00:16:21All damages to our fullest extent.
00:16:24Here.
00:16:25Receipts for the hardware and the notarized value declarations for the data.
00:16:29See for yourself.
00:16:38I mean, who carries around a hundred million dollar laptop?!
00:16:45Who exactly are you?
00:16:47You don't get to know.
00:16:49In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:51There's no way that there's a fucking laptop that cost a hundred million dollars!
00:16:55You know what?
00:16:56This is a fucking scam.
00:16:57These two, they're working together.
00:16:58I'm telling you, it's a con!
00:17:00Are you serious?
00:17:01I'm Blake Sullivan.
00:17:02I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:04I don't fly across the city of Skimm and nobody like you.
00:17:07Listen, I'm so...
00:17:09Ms. Harper, this is the employee you hire?
00:17:12He's a fool.
00:17:13And it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:16Oh, by the way, our partnership deal?
00:17:19Consider it terminated.
00:17:21What?!
00:17:22Mr. Sullivan, please.
00:17:24Damien is just...
00:17:25He's stressy.
00:17:26He didn't mean...
00:17:27Save it.
00:17:28You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:31And you, if you dispute evaluations, we can settle it in court.
00:17:35My legal team has 965 lawyers.
00:17:38I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:43Stellar's legal team is legendary.
00:17:45He never lost.
00:17:46Damien can't fight this.
00:17:48Hell, the entire Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this.
00:17:52He's done for.
00:17:55So I may have help.
00:17:57Please.
00:18:02Please.
00:18:05Mr. Sullivan.
00:18:06Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation.
00:18:10Will that suffice?
00:18:11I'm just here to certify facts.
00:18:13You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:18Full payment.
00:18:19In my account.
00:18:21Within three days.
00:18:23In that case, we're done here.
00:18:25Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else.
00:18:28I'll do it.
00:18:29Mr. Sullivan, are our partners-
00:18:40Oh, that's funny.
00:18:42Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:43A hundred million on the line and you swoop in the covering room.
00:18:46You know, I just hope that your father and your grandfather are as generous as you are.
00:18:52Whether her father or Chairman Harper approve is none of your goddamn business!
00:18:56We don't need someone like you worrying about it!
00:18:59He's right.
00:19:01Julian, I give you my word.
00:19:02The full amount will be paid within three days.
00:19:04But under one condition.
00:19:06Our engagement ends for good.
00:19:09And you will leave Harper Enterprise.
00:19:12Now.
00:19:13You hear that, Julian?
00:19:14You know, I'll admit it. Yeah, you got the money.
00:19:16But it's not about what you made.
00:19:17It's your family's fucking money.
00:19:19And now you're just a spoiled little trust fund baby who's been fired.
00:19:21So get the fuck out!
00:19:24Get the fuck out?
00:19:26One of us just torpedoed a hundred million dollar loan and a three hundred million dollar deal.
00:19:31Remind me.
00:19:32Which one of us should actually get the fuck out?
00:19:35Serena, I think it is actually time to call your grandfather.
00:19:37He could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:42Stop. Stop!
00:19:48This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper.
00:19:51Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:19:55Funny.
00:19:56Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill.
00:19:58Remind me.
00:19:59Which one of us is the real boy toy?
00:20:02You.
00:20:13Get the fuck out!
00:20:14Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have.
00:20:18This is Harper Enterprise.
00:20:20I'm the one in charge here.
00:20:23Security, remove him.
00:20:27Julian, please.
00:20:29Don't make us get physical.
00:20:30I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in.
00:20:32You really want to lay hands on me?
00:20:35Chairman Harper?
00:20:36Brought you in?
00:20:37Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:40Who do you think you are?
00:20:41You think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:43Julian, I've already given you more courtesy than you deserve.
00:20:46The more you cling on like this, the more disgusting you become to me.
00:20:51Do it.
00:20:55Looks like I don't need that phone call.
00:20:56Still running your mouth, huh?
00:20:58Move.
00:20:59Get him the fuck out of here.
00:21:00Hey.
00:21:05What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:09Stand down.
00:21:10All of you.
00:21:11You.
00:21:12Out 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 on everything that's going on today.
00:21:26I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:30Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:33What?
00:21:34Chairman Harper?
00:21:36Apologizing to Julian?
00:21:38Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:42Chairman Harper, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games.
00:21:45How could you possibly?
00:21:46Shut up!
00:21:54How dare you disrespect Julian?
00:21:58Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has.
00:22:00You can't just hit people.
00:22:01I wish we hit him more.
00:22:03Serena, do you even have any idea who Julian Clark is?
00:22:08We didn't tell you everything because of your ego.
00:22:10And I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:22:12We were going to announce everything once the engagement was formally set.
00:22:16But who knew?
00:22:17Serena, you've been blind.
00:22:20Julian is-
00:22:21Thomas, you can't force something that isn't there.
00:22:23No real feelings.
00:22:24No need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:27Julian, please, understand.
00:22:29All of this is on us.
00:22:31Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harper fan.
00:22:35Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:41Apologize to Julian!
00:22:42Now!
00:22:43No!
00:22:44I don't care who you are, Julian.
00:22:47To me, you're still just a spoiled brat who thinks of himself as some sort of genius.
00:22:52But in reality, all you know is playing video games.
00:22:57I see right through you, and I will not apologize to you!
00:23:01Serena!
00:23:02Enough!
00:23:03Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:05Let me apologize.
00:23:06Let's save him.
00:23:07If Serena can't manage an apology herself, then I have no reason to protect this company
00:23:12anymore.
00:23:15Issue my order.
00:23:17Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:19Cease every protective measure, effective immediately.
00:23:22Julian!
00:23:23Please!
00:23:23Don't!
00:23:24Without you, this place doesn't survive!
00:23:27Look!
00:23:29Oh!
00:23:30What?
00:23:35Oh, I guess you could just pull the orders.
00:23:37What do you mean?
00:23:38Hostile takeover.
00:23:39All of our investors pulled out.
00:23:41How can that be?
00:23:46Harper Enterprise stock plunges 30% in minutes, wiping out billions in market value.
00:23:51What?
00:23:52My entire division just stopped.
00:23:54We can't operate like this.
00:23:55A stunning reversal.
00:23:57Harper Enterprise's many allies withdraw their investments in an instant, leaving the
00:24:01group facing massive losses.
00:24:04Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:08Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:09Why did Harper Enterprises suddenly lose power?
00:24:13What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:16How is that possible?
00:24:19Are you attacking the company?
00:24:20No matter who is behind this, I, Serena, will never bow down to you!
00:24:27Harper Enterprise will not yield to any market attacks.
00:24:30Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks!
00:24:32It's Harper!
00:24:33This isn't a race!
00:24:34Our major partners are terminating their contracts!
00:24:37And our own liquidity can't cover the gap!
00:24:40This continues!
00:24:41The stock will crash straight through the floor!
00:24:44What did you say?
00:24:46Dammit!
00:24:47How could that trash have such kind of power?
00:24:50Why him?
00:24:51I won't accept this!
00:24:52I won't!
00:24:52Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?
00:24:58Apologize to Julian!
00:25:00No!
00:25:04Serena!
00:25:05Apologize!
00:25:07Serena!
00:25:18Serena!
00:25:19Serena!
00:25:19Serena!
00:25:19Do not apologize!
00:25:20Harper Enterprises worth hundreds of billions of dollars!
00:25:23You 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!
00:25:32No!
00:25:33No!
00:25:34No!
00:25:35No!
00:25:35Your fucking fault!
00:25:36You apologize to Julian right now!
00:25:38Get on your n-
00:25:40Dad!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:43Dad!
00:25:44Stop!
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 really gonna go to war with Julian over this snake?!
00:25:56Do 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.
00:26:35You 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,
00:26:46I'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 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?
00:27:13I 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, and 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?
00:28:06Why 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? Brilliant?
00:28:20That was Julian!
00:28:22Julian is the one who quietly has held this 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, I'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, I made you Wall Street's business queen.
00:28:53That's Iron Gate, North Bridge, and even Silver Line.
00:28:56Those are all the top 50 global giants.
00:28:58They've all been begging us behind the scenes?
00:29:00No wonder every project went so smoothly.
00:29:03Julian is the one with this kind of network.
00:29:05Damien's got some nerves stealing credit for something like this.
00:29:08That's a death wish!
00:29:12No.
00:29:13No, no, no.
00:29:13It's not true, huh?
00:29:14Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me and my hard work and my connections!
00:29:19Shit!
00:29:19Oh!
00:29:20You arrogant fool!
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:31All right.
00:29:32That's enough.
00:29:34I finally got the all clear from my grandfather.
00:29:36I can go home.
00:29:37So, as of right now, our 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 fiancé who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:52Without my connections and my network, Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:57And it's going to go right back to where it was six months ago.
00:30:01What?
00:30:02What?
00:30:03Go on!
00:30:04Prepare yourselves.
00:30:06Julian.
00:30:06Julian.
00:30:07Stop.
00:30:08Julian.
00:30:11Serena.
00:30:12You silly, foolish, foolish girl!
00:30:16Grandpa, I have never been clearer.
00:30:19With or without him, I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:22Serena's right.
00:30:23Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper, I'm going to stand by Serena's side and I'm going to give her everything that I've
00:30:28got.
00:30:29Crap.
00:30:30I'm going to beat the crap out 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 with Damien.
00:30:40But I believe he will prove himself to you.
00:30:43And so will I.
00:30:46I will show everyone here that what Harper achieved over the past six months was 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 with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:07Serena!
00:31:08Serena!
00:31:09Don't even worry about that.
00:31:10I know our Enterprise took a huge hit today.
00:31:12But as long as we lock down Amber Group's Crescent Lake project, change the game, and everyone will still think
00:31:17that we're in control.
00:31:18Easy!
00:31:20The $3 billion Crescent Lake project.
00:31:23If we can win that contract, we can wipe all the problems we've been facing.
00:31:28Damien, you've secured several of Amber Group's projects before, and I'm going to put this one in your hands too.
00:31:35It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:36No, no.
00:31:37Absolutely.
00:31:37You can't have me.
00:31:38Amber Group's deputy VP of projects.
00:31:41I mean, he trusts me completely.
00:31:44He else has been his eyes.
00:31:45I don't know.
00:31:52Get the Crescent Lake contract ready.
00:31:54Same as always.
00:31:55Once the Harper team arrives, we hand it straight to them.
00:31:58Ms. Lawson, we just got an update.
00:32:00Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise.
00:32:03The engagement is off.
00:32:04Serena fired him and ended it.
00:32:08Are you sure?
00:32:10absolutely word is she listened to her assistant damien who really stirred the pot and then serena

00:36:20This one should 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, you're finished.
00:37:03Okay, 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 one boost to one company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my dress
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
00:37:27going to skip on its chest.
00:37:41And suffer, okay?
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.
00:38:18You 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 better 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?
00:38:58It's me, I'll take her here.
00:39:00Is that so?
00:39:01Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Crescently project.
00:39:09What, you're bidding too?
00:39:10Yeah, I know you got connection, and that's great, you know.
00:39:13But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:15Me, I got real talent, all right?
00:39:17And I'm gonna win Crescently for Serena.
00:39:19You, you're just gonna 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 herself.
00:39:53And if we do?
00:39:55I'll make sure we're going to go to brush.
00:40:05I'm so sure he's going to be safe.
00:40:13So that pretty boy Damien actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:19Tonight we're gonna see who's really on top.
00:40:22Okay.
00:40:23Manners, this is a public event.
00:40:24What?
00:40:26You've known me since we were kids.
00:40:28Why would I pretend around you?
00:40:31But if you like classy, I can do classy.
00:40:35Okay.
00:40:35Yeah.
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.
00:41:11I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:13You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:44You know what?
00:41:45Take 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 Harper 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, 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?
00:42:40I 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 gonna be there?
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, get up on that stage and give us a nice little poll
00:43:09show.
00:43:09Hey.
00:43:10Hey, I'm gonna tell you.
00:43:11You want to know why I keep winning Amber group deals?
00:43:15Because every time I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune.
00:43:21Capital technology is useless.
00:43:25Fucking trash.
00:43:28Mason Brooks, you've got a lot of nerve.
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.
00:44:02What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:03Hmm?
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.
00:44:23What do you mean my friend?
00:44:24There's a woman here.
00:44:26She says she's going to report to you.
00:44:27Come on, please, teach 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, she's even quoted the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:39Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:41What?
00:44:42What?
00:44:44This, this, this can't be.
00:44:49Go ahead, laugh.
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 gold-dicking whore.
00:44:58I mean, even if she, she rats you out, who's going to believe this?
00:45:00Oh!
00:45:02Why are you hitting me?
00:45:03Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:04When 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?
00:45:14Miss Lawson, this, 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, you're Nora Lawson, Amber'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.
00:46:29But I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:32He is blunt, yes.
00:46:35But his ability is exceptional.
00:46:37Exceptional.
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.
00:47:08I 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.
00:47:19Come on, let'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.
00:47:32Here 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?
00:47:41I...
00:47:53You want to understand the rules up top there, sweet boy?
00:47:57Technology capital.
00:48:00Useless fucking trash.
00:48:02What?
00:48:03Shit, she actually recorded it?
00:48:05And escort.
00:48:06So why don't you do us all a nice little favor?
00:48:08Get up on the stage, give us a nice little poll 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 believe it.
00:48:35I...
00:48:35Just turn it up.
00:48:36Turn it up 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, Damien, please just...
00:48:49Mr. Brooks is very silly.
00:48:51What a fucking ridiculous thing to say.
00:48:52I mean, who are you to say anything?
00:48:54What do you think, your Amber group CEO?
00:48:57Amber...
00:48:57Turn it off, please.
00:49:00Okay?
00:49:00Okay, Miss Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:49:02Just...
00:49:03Please stop it!
00:49:03Please!
00:49:04Please!
00:49:06Bribery is one thing, but mistaking Miss 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 happy.
00:49:33Can you tell me the truth?
00:49:34Enough.
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.
00:50:01Those projects are our next three years.
00:50:04They affect thousands of employees.
00:50:06Their lives are future.
00:50:07And why am I the person who hired Trash and called it talent?
00:50:13Real talent.
00:50:20Pathetic.
00:50:41I just avenged you in front of a lot of people.
00:50:45Asking for our dinner isn't too much, right?
00:50:46Not 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.
00:50:59Damien was wrong to bribe anyone.
00:51:02And I apologize on his behalf.
00:51:04Just, 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 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,
00:51:38I 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,
00:51:59and you want to get back at me for him.
00:52:01But humiliating someone like this,
00:52:03isn't that a little cruel?
00:52:05You really think I froze our cooperation
00:52:07because Damien, right, Mason?
00:52:10Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:12For six months, Harper Enterprise
00:52:15got everything it wanted from Ember Group.
00:52:19For one reason, Julian 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,
00:52:34Harper 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,
00:52:55Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly
00:52:57because Damien is brilliant.
00:52:59It ran smoothly because Julian called every partner,
00:53:04every supplier, every gatekeeper
00:53:06and cleared the path for you.
00:53:08Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:14No, that'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
00:53:26can keep everything perfect
00:53:27when Julian is not there
00:53:29to hold the world together for 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
00:53:52waste his life away
00:53:54on 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 just attacking
00:54:10and slandering my name to defend.
00:54:13Julian, you 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
00:54:25and 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,
00:54:33but we're not finished.
00:54:35I mean, you see all 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
00:54:43and 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
00:54:53and Harper Enterprise, you know,
00:54:55we would absolutely love.
00:54:57Harper Enterprise?
00:54:58Who the hell is that?
00:54:59Do you think you're even in the same league
00:55:01as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:03Uh, Mr. Foster,
00:55:06what do you mean?
00:55:07I, last time we spoke,
00:55:09you said that you believed in the Harper Enterprise
00:55:11and that you would love to 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,
00:55:21bunch 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.
00:55:29That'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.
00:55:41I gave Harper Enterprise Project
00:55:43because of Mr. Clark
00:55:44and then you turned around
00:55:45and claimed you closed the deal.
00:55:48Who gave you the audacity?
00:55:50Shameless trash.
00:55:54Miss Parker.
00:55:56Miss Parker.
00:55:57No, no.
00:55:57God damn it.
00:55:59No, I don't believe this.
00:56:01I don't believe this fucking Julian
00:56:03this 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
00:56:19to tolerate you playing sideman
00:56:21with his fiancée.
00:56:22I'm not.
00:56:22You bastard too.
00:56:25Mr. Turner?
00:56:27Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:31What the fuck is happening?
00:56:39Miss Harper?
00:56:40This is bad.
00:56:41Our partners are flooding us with messages.
00:56:44They're suspending contracts,
00:56:45pulling out a deal.
00:56:46Wait, what is happening?
00:56:47They said before
00:56:49they only worked with Harper Enterprise
00:56:50because Julian Clark backed us.
00:56:52Now that he's gone,
00:56:53they don't trust us with their project.
00:56:56Julian.
00:56:58It's Julian again.
00:57:02So it's...
00:57:03It's true.
00:57:05They only gave us deals
00:57:07because of Julian.
00:57:09Julian!
00:57:09No, no, no, no.
00:57:10Swingo, please.
00:57:11Okay?
00:57:12They're just saying that
00:57:13because 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
00:57:17and 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 contract from them.
00:57:31And you told me
00:57:32you negotiated the deals.
00:57:34I swear I didn't know
00:57:36that they would.
00:57:39Get out of my sight.
00:57:41Now!
00:57:59Fuck!
00:58:00Damn it!
00:58:01No!
00:58:01I was this close to locking Serena down,
00:58:04stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:05I'm not letting it end like this.
00:58:12Serena, you really thought you were smart.
00:58:15But you're really just pathetic trash.
00:58:21Without Julian, you're nothing.
00:58:33Dad warned you.
00:58:35Grandpa warned you.
00:58:37And you still wouldn't listen.
00:58:41You ignored everything Julian did
00:58:44and worshipped a con artist like Damien.
00:59:00And now look at you.
00:59:03Projects gone.
00:59:06Company collapsing.
00:59:09Idiot.
00:59:11Arrogant.
00:59:12Stupid.
00:59:14Idiot.
00:59:16So stupid.
00:59:23Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:31I'm so sorry.
00:59:33I'm so sorry.
00:59:34I'm so sorry.
00:59:34Listen up.
00:59:36I know I messed up.
00:59:39Move!
00:59:43Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:47I know, I know I was wrong.
00:59:49Look.
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 is business, Queen.
01:00:14So much better than those cheap girls.
01:00:16Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine.
01:00:21Damien!
01:00:22You sick bastard!
01:00:25You sick bastard!
01:00:30I really mean it.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:33You fucking...
01:00:34I'm telling you the truth!
01:00:36I mean it!
01:00:37Okay?
01:00:37I promise.
01:00:38I'll treat you well.
01:00:43You fucking monster!
01:00:44Get off me, please!
01:00:46I'm begging you, don't!
01:00:48Say yes.
01:00:50What did I do?
01:00:58I tried being nice to you.
01:00:59I fucking tried!
01:01:01But you keep fighting me back!
01:01:02Help!
01:01:04Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:05Keep fucking screaming!
01:01:07Right?
01:01:08You're not gonna say no.
01:01:10I'm gonna fuck you.
01:01:12Help!
01:01:14Help!
01:01:16Julian.
01:01:17Julian, help!
01:01:19Help!
01:01:19Oh!
01:01:20Oh!
01:01:21Get him out of here!
01:01:23Stop!
01:01:23Let me go!
01:01:25Julian, you're always with the fucking lights.
01:01:27This isn't over.
01:01:32Julian, please.
01:01:34Thank God you came and you had like...
01:01:36We are not that close.
01:01:40I was just passing through.
01:01:41I heard some screaming, so I stopped by to check.
01:01:44You.
01:01:44I want you to call the Harper family.
01:01:46Tell them to come to Corral.
01:01:48Yes, sir.
01:01:50Oh, oh, oh.
01:01:51Julian, I am sorry.
01:01:54I know.
01:01:55I was wrong.
01:01:57Just...
01:01:58Please come back.
01:01:59Julian!
01:02:00Our reservation is in ten minutes.
01:02:03Let's go.
01:02:11Serena, I told you over and over and over again that Damien was not a good man.
01:02:22Julian, and you refused to listen.
01:02:25And Julian, if Julian doesn't come along, just at the right time, oh my God.
01:02:32I can't even, I can't even think about it.
01:02:35If you don't do something about that stubborn part of yours, one day, you live to regret it.
01:02:41Dad, Grandpa, please, stop.
01:02:43I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:47I'll apologize to Julian, and I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:54The problem with that is that you may feel that way, but Julian might not.
01:03:01Grandpa, don't worry.
01:03:04I will apologize properly, and I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:10That's all we can do.
01:03:12So, John, put out a citywide bolo on that bastard Damien.
01:03:19He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:22We're not letting that go.
01:03:25No, we're not.
01:03:27Understood.
01:03:59Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:06What is this supposed to be?
01:04:07A gift for you?
01:04:10Myself?
01:04:12I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:14Every group backs you up.
01:04:16No questions asked.
01:04:18But first, you have to accept the gift.
01:04:22Not really.
01:04:32Hey, can you not do that?
01:04:34You're making this incredibly awkward.
01:04:38You know, a woman like me shows up a gift wrapped, and any man would have, you know, housed me
01:04:45by now.
01:04:46Don't tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:49Hung up?
01:04:51No, I'm not going to be hung up on Serena.
01:04:53She and I were never romantic.
01:04:56No, it's just a business marriage between two families.
01:05:00Things are moving too fast.
01:05:02You gotta think twice.
01:05:04But I don't have time.
01:05:06My family is preparing to send me off into a European alliance.
01:05:11Some old money.
01:05:13Perfect match they can show off at Calis.
01:05:16Wait, what are you talking about?
01:05:17Are you serious?
01:05:18Yes, Julian.
01:05:19Julian, my uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune, and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of me
01:05:25permanently.
01:05:25But I don't want a stranger.
01:05:27I want you.
01:05:28I love you.
01:05:30Julian, let's make it official.
01:05:35Let's get married.
01:05:38You know, if you'll marry me, my family won't dare object.
01:05:45Please, Julian.
01:05:56Okay.
01:05:58I'll marry you.
01:06:00Are you serious?
01:06:01No takebacks.
01:06:03No takebacks.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:05I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:08But can you help me out?
01:06:12Um, my hands are getting wet.
01:06:15So impatient.
01:06:19It's like you said.
01:06:22If I accept the gift, then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:31Then be gentle.
01:06:40Julian, you didn't forget what you promised last night, right?
01:06:46Uh, no.
01:06:47Because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:06:49Of course I remember that.
01:06:51You know, when someone wraps themselves as a gift, you kind of, you kind of remember that for the rest
01:06:56of your life, you know?
01:06:56Details.
01:06:58Those are just tiny details.
01:07:02You look like big details to me.
01:07:03You look like big details to me.
01:07:06Julian.
01:07:09Can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:12Serena, I really don't think there's anything we need to discuss.
01:07:14Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:15I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:17I misjudged everything.
01:07:19Please, just give me one more chance and I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:23And if you take me back, just tell me what you want.
01:07:26I'll do anything.
01:07:27I'm sorry, I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:33Boyfriend?
01:07:39Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:07:42Well, Julian hates them too.
01:07:45And yet you stayed at Harper Enterprise for six full months.
01:07:49He asked you out 37 times.
01:07:51So tell me, what exactly are you proud of?
01:07:55Hmm?
01:07:57Men like him?
01:07:59If you treat him like trash, someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:08:04Listen carefully, we are all together now, so better keep your distance.
01:08:08If you don't, I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:14Come on.
01:08:15We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:18Let's not be late.
01:08:19Wedding outfits?
01:08:22Let's go.
01:08:28Let's go.
01:08:37So how did it go?
01:08:39Julian?
01:08:40He's with Nora.
01:08:46Nora.
01:08:47Nora Lawson.
01:08:49CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:50Of course.
01:08:52You know, Serena, it's an elite like Julian.
01:08:56The second you let go, somebody comes and grabs him.
01:09:00You don't get another chance.
01:09:02God gave our family a chance.
01:09:04And we blew it.
01:09:06God, forgive the Harpers.
01:09:09Please.
01:09:11Ms. Hopper, finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:15Hopper Enterprises' cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:18If we don't act immediately, we won't even have enough to make payroll this month.
01:09:24Great.
01:09:25Now all of Wall Street knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:28That was going to lend to us now.
01:09:31How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:32This is my fault.
01:09:34Okay?
01:09:35I was blind.
01:09:36Are you proud now?
01:09:39I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:09:42And I didn't realize that Julian was running everything.
01:09:47And the moment he's gone, I can't do anything.
01:09:51Dad.
01:09:52Grandpa.
01:09:53I'm so sorry.
01:09:55I ruined Harpers Enterprise.
01:09:57I ruined everything.
01:10:00Dad.
01:10:01You're the one who arranged the engagement with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:05So maybe you should go talk to him and see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:10Yes, Grandpa.
01:10:12Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:14If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:17Clark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:20Yes.
01:10:22They honored our engagement.
01:10:24And that was a mercy.
01:10:26That was a blessing.
01:10:27But you threw it away.
01:10:32Still.
01:10:34For your sake and for your future.
01:10:36And for our future.
01:10:39We'll fight.
01:10:46Serena.
01:10:48When you see Julian's grandfather,
01:10:50your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:53Dear, if he forgives you,
01:10:57only then will you know that you have a chance to get Julian back.
01:11:02Understood, Grandpa.
01:11:04For the Harper family, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:06Thank you, Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:28Perfect timing.
01:11:29They're just about to start.
01:11:31Engagement party?
01:11:33So they're really engaged?
01:11:36Wait, how is this all happening so fast?
01:11:40What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:42Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson have known each other since they were born,
01:11:46and everyone is so happy that they're finally getting married.
01:11:50Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:52You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:11:55Then, please leave.
01:11:57Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:12:05If there's an engagement party,
01:12:07that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:13And that means we're done.
01:12:17There's no more chances left.
01:12:19We're leaving.
01:12:21Is this my punishment?
01:12:24All right, everyone.
01:12:26Big smiles.
01:12:30Woo!
01:12:43Julian, are you okay?
01:12:46Hey.
01:12:52What is it?
01:12:53Oh, it's nothing.
01:12:55Come on.
01:12:55Dinner's almost ready.
01:12:57Shh.
01:13:10Dad, the Harpers.
01:13:13My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:17For him,
01:13:19his six months at Harper Enterprise,
01:13:22it was a total humiliation.
01:13:26We've shown that Harper had more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:31Understood, Dad.
01:13:40Okay, enough, Serena.
01:13:42Stop.
01:13:42You can't drink this away.
01:13:45Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:13:47If you don't get up, it's over.
01:13:51Just leave me the fuck alone.
01:13:53Okay?
01:13:54Just let me drink.
01:13:55I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:57I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:13:59No, you...
01:14:02All right, I've got to take this.
01:14:04Don't move.
01:14:05I'll be right back,
01:14:06and then I am taking you home.
01:14:20Okay, Nora, be honest.
01:14:23You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:25You just got engaged,
01:14:27and you're getting married next week?
01:14:29Let's see.
01:14:30You've known Julian for 20-plus years.
01:14:34You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:14:35I've liked Julian for 20 years,
01:14:38and I finally got him to say yes.
01:14:40You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:14:42Lock it down from what?
01:14:43From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:14:45They're collapsing and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:14:50I have to move fast.
01:14:51If they start begging,
01:14:55what if Julian hesitates?
01:14:57But Julian and Serena were forced into that.
01:15:00There's no real love.
01:15:02Why will Julian hesitate?
01:15:03What are you afraid of?
01:15:04You don't get it.
01:15:07Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months,
01:15:10and it wasn't just because his grandfather would order it.
01:15:13Then why?
01:15:16Because Serena is his type.
01:15:20Wait, what?
01:15:23I am Julian's type?
01:15:27No way!
01:15:29I'm serious.
01:15:30The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:15:33That exact time.
01:15:35I mean, with his personality,
01:15:38even if his grandfather forced him,
01:15:40he would have stayed there for three days max,
01:15:41and then vanished.
01:15:43He would not stay there,
01:15:45and take six months of humiliation if he didn't want it to.
01:15:49That's Julian Clark.
01:15:51So that's why?
01:15:53Serena must have destroyed him.
01:15:55I have to get married fast.
01:15:57I cannot give her a single chance.
01:16:00So that's what it was.
01:16:02Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:16:04because I'm his type.
01:16:06He likes me.
01:16:07That means I still have a chance.
01:16:10I still have a chance.
01:16:12This is my last shot.
01:16:13I am not wasting it.
01:16:21Where is she?
01:16:28Ladies and gentlemen,
01:16:30let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:45Wow, they look perfect together.
01:16:48They're childhood sweethearts.
01:16:49The whole fantasy.
01:16:51Oh my God, brilliant!
01:16:54And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:09Wait!
01:17:15Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:19Who is that?
01:17:20Is that Serena Harper?
01:17:22CEO of Harper Enterprise?
01:17:24You mean the woman who rode on Julian's back to the IPO
01:17:27and then kicked him out like he was nothing?
01:17:29Without Julian,
01:17:30Harper Enterprise is basically bankrupt.
01:17:33Pathetic.
01:17:34Wait!
01:17:36Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:40Julian,
01:17:41I know you like me.
01:17:43You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise
01:17:45for six months humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:52I know.
01:17:53I was wrong.
01:17:54Totally wrong, okay?
01:17:56Just please,
01:17:57give me another chance.
01:18:01Our engagement is over.
01:18:04In fact, you were the one that called it off.
01:18:07Look, this is my wedding.
01:18:09Have some dignity.
01:18:10In fact, can we get her out of here, please?
01:18:11No, please.
01:18:13I'll do anything.
01:18:15Just...
01:18:15Stop.
01:18:19I know you hate me
01:18:22because I rejected you 37 times,
01:18:25but I'll make it up to you.
01:18:28I'll chase you 37 times,
01:18:30370 times,
01:18:31whatever it did.
01:18:33Can we please get her out?
01:18:34No, don't touch me!
01:18:36Julian,
01:18:37what do you want from me?
01:18:38I know you like me,
01:18:40so why won't you give me another chance?
01:18:42Why?
01:18:47Simple question.
01:18:49Do you love me?
01:18:53I...
01:18:53Exactly.
01:18:54You don't.
01:18:55You didn't realize you made a mistake.
01:18:57You realized that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:19:00See, what you want
01:19:01is not a chance,
01:19:03but a tool.
01:19:04You want me back
01:19:05so you can be
01:19:05Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:09No, that...
01:19:11That's not true.
01:19:13Just please.
01:19:15Listen.
01:19:15Please, listen.
01:19:16Enough.
01:19:16Serena.
01:19:18When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise,
01:19:19do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:22Let me ask you this.
01:19:24If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed,
01:19:26if your value kept climbing,
01:19:28would you still be here
01:19:29standing in front of me today?
01:19:33I...
01:19:33No.
01:19:34I...
01:19:35No, you wouldn't.
01:19:35You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:36You'd be celebrating.
01:19:38You'd say that you earned
01:19:39the business queen crown.
01:19:41You'd be mocking me,
01:19:42calling me pathetic.
01:19:43You'd say that firing me
01:19:44was the best decision you ever made.
01:19:46Plus,
01:19:46you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:19:48No.
01:19:50No, Julian.
01:19:52That's not me.
01:19:53Just admit it, Serena.
01:19:56You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:57But on my wedding day,
01:19:59you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:20:01Why?
01:20:01Because you want me back
01:20:03as your lifeline.
01:20:04Your donor.
01:20:05Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:07But the moment I stop being useful,
01:20:09you will kick me away again
01:20:10without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:12No.
01:20:14No, Julian.
01:20:16That is not true.
01:20:17Through the night
01:20:18that you saved me
01:20:19from Damien,
01:20:21I...
01:20:22I felt something for you.
01:20:24I did.
01:20:25Stop.
01:20:26Do not perform at my wedding.
01:20:28You don't regret hurting me.
01:20:30You regret choosing the wrong man.
01:20:32You regret that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:20:35You know,
01:20:35I'll admit,
01:20:36when I met you,
01:20:38you were exactly my type.
01:20:41But once I got to know you,
01:20:42once I realized what you really are,
01:20:45all I felt was disgust.
01:20:48But Nora,
01:20:51she has cared for me
01:20:52since we were kids.
01:20:56When I was sick,
01:20:58she stayed up all night
01:20:59taking care of me.
01:21:01When I was at my lowest,
01:21:02she pulled me back up.
01:21:04Even when I went back
01:21:05to Harper Enterprise
01:21:06on the engagement,
01:21:08she still supported me.
01:21:10She still took hits from me.
01:21:14So,
01:21:15let me ask you,
01:21:17why would I give up
01:21:18all of that
01:21:19for you?
01:21:22What makes you think
01:21:23you deserve that?
01:21:29Get her out.
01:21:30No, no.
01:21:31No, please don't,
01:21:32Julie.
01:21:32Don't, don't leave.
01:21:34I'm begging you,
01:21:35just please let me explain.
01:21:37Please.
01:21:38Please, let me,
01:21:38please stop,
01:21:39let me go.
01:21:40Julie, please don't do it.
01:21:42Crashing a wedding like that?
01:21:44I thought she actually loved him.
01:21:45Turns out,
01:21:47she just realized
01:21:47without Julian,
01:21:49she can't stay on top.
01:21:50She used Julian's feelings
01:21:51like a weapon.
01:21:52Totally vampire-drained him dry.
01:22:24Mr. Clark!
01:22:41I'm sure you've all heard.
01:22:45Parker Enterprise,
01:22:46affected today,
01:22:47has become a Clark Group subsidiary,
01:22:48so,
01:22:50we're all being terminated.
01:22:52Are you wanting?
01:22:52What?
01:22:54Mr. Clark,
01:22:55there's too much.
01:22:56I've given this company
01:22:5715 years.
01:22:59You can't just walk in
01:23:00and fire everyone.
01:23:0115 years, wow.
01:23:02Congratulations.
01:23:04You've had 15 years
01:23:05to make this company clean,
01:23:06and instead,
01:23:06you've turned it into a soup.
01:23:10You know,
01:23:10I've been watching you guys
01:23:11for about six months now.
01:23:13I've seen how you all work.
01:23:16Bribes,
01:23:17embezzlement,
01:23:20kickbacks,
01:23:22fraud.
01:23:24Everyone of you does a file.
01:23:26So,
01:23:26we're going to be
01:23:26passing out
01:23:27some resignation terms,
01:23:29and, uh,
01:23:31once you sign them,
01:23:32hand over your badges,
01:23:34or you're going to
01:23:35robin' Jim.
01:23:37This,
01:23:38this is it.
01:23:53Are you satisfied, Mal?
01:23:56Satisfied?
01:23:57Thomas went to my grandfather.
01:23:59He begged him to acquire
01:24:00Harper Enterprise
01:24:01so that your family
01:24:02could cash out.
01:24:04I saved you.
01:24:07Julian!
01:24:10If I
01:24:11didn't treat you
01:24:12the way I did,
01:24:13would any of this
01:24:14be different?
01:24:24Julian,
01:24:24why don't you get
01:24:25thrown away?
01:24:25He'd still land
01:24:26something better.
01:24:27I spent my whole life
01:24:28climbing upwards,
01:24:29and now I'm stuck
01:24:29at the bottom,
01:24:30hunted by cops.
01:24:31I won't accept it.
01:24:34Julian,
01:24:34watch out!
01:24:35Julian!
01:24:36Let's go!
01:24:40Let me go!
01:24:41Fucking let me go!
01:24:42I already spared you.
01:24:43You didn't learn
01:24:44at all, did you?
01:24:46Yo,
01:24:46take him to the police.
01:24:47Get the best
01:24:47lawyer money can buy.
01:24:48I want him to
01:24:49rot in jail.
01:24:49Fucking coward.
01:24:50You're a fucking coward!
01:24:52Hiding behind
01:24:52your goddamn
01:24:53family's money?
01:24:53No,
01:24:54no,
01:24:54fight me.
01:24:54101!
01:24:55101!
01:24:55Let the guards go!
01:24:56You don't have
01:24:57the fucking guts,
01:24:58do you?
01:25:02Hey,
01:25:03Julian,
01:25:04what was that?
01:25:05Just taking out the trash.
01:25:08Are you done here?
01:25:11No.
01:25:12Let's go.
01:25:19I was wrong.
01:25:21I was wrong!
01:25:22I was wrong!
01:25:23Oh my god!
