00:00:03Breaking news. Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack. In the past hour
00:00:09alone, the conglomerate has lost over a billion dollars in argumentation.
00:00:23I need you to buy the stock, alright?
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.
00:00:36No, no, we're not finished. We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:43The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:48Julia, we need you. Again. Shit. 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 for a little favor.
00:01:12Julia, 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.
00:01:26How 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.
00:01:36Called in all hands. All department leads. Conference room in ten minutes.
00:01:39Chairman's orders.
00:01:41Why would Damien call in the meeting? He despises you.
00:01:45Watch your back.
00:01:46Do it work.
00:01:54Do it work.
00:01:56Do it work.
00:01:57Do it work.
00:02:02Do it work.
00:02:14Day, I think, and I'll be in this room.
00:02:16I can take a break.
00:02:16I can take a break.
00:02:16We actually neutralized the short attack against Harper and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:21Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:29Since when does Damien know how to take over 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 pool with Serena to get him fired.
00:02:47Hello? 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.
00:03:11Julian, our company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:15Pirate maybe?
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.
00:03:27I forgot.
00:03:29You're just the resident good for nothing.
00:03:31My strategy is you probably couldn't comprehend them, let 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?
00:03:46And what was their distinct objective?
00:03:48And what specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:50Doesn't matter.
00:03:51What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:53You can't even name the enemy?
00:03:55Alright, fine.
00:03:56Next question.
00:03:57Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights?
00:03:59And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:03Well...
00:04:05Well...
00:04:07Well...
00:04:08Well...
00:04:09You can't even name the basics.
00:04:11Alright.
00:04:12So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room,
00:04:15the countermeasures for a potential proxies fight,
00:04:17or which SEC 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 the real.
00:04:40You, a useless, game-addicted fucking loser, dare to question me?
00:04:44You know what, Clark?
00:04:46You're fucking fired!
00:04:47Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:59You hear that, Dad?
00:05:01I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:05Understood.
00:05:07Now, the hearing's not enough.
00:05:08I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company.
00:05:10Now.
00:05:15You took our family's market cap and raised it to $3 trillion.
00:05:21You proved 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 could grow, but our families go way better.
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.
00:05:50I'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?
00:06:01You'll refuse.
00:06:04Okay.
00:06:05Nurse!
00:06:05Dr. Ann!
00:06:06Check it out!
00:06:07My own grandson won't listen.
00:06:09What's the point?
00:06:09Okay!
00:06:10Let the heart attack take me now!
00:06:11Okay, alright!
00:06:12I'll go.
00:06:14I know when I pass again.
00:06:17For years, you've carried this family on your bed.
00:06:20We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:23The Harper's, they're in trouble.
00:06:25We do not abandon our own.
00:06:28Use that brilliant head of yours.
00:06:31And help them.
00:06:33Please.
00:06:34For me.
00:06:36Fine.
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.
00:06:52I 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?
00:07:00So 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.
00:07:15So, pathetic.
00:07:17I said you're fired.
00:07:18Get your shit and get the fuck out of my throat.
00:07:21I heard you.
00:07:22I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay, and then I'm gone.
00:07:25I said no!
00:07:26Or I'm gonna call security.
00:07:27I'm gonna 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?
00:07:46I 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.
00:07:56Fuck off.
00:07:58You!
00:07:59Don't push your luck, Clark.
00:08:00The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the first place is because of your
00:08:04dusty fucking engagement to Serena.
00:08:05And you have the audacity to act all high and mighty?
00:08:09You're fucking nothing.
00:08:10You're a little trust-spun, 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 and get lost before I fucking-
00:08:28You broke my teeth.
00:08:31You know how much this costs?
00:08:31You fucking asshole!
00:08:32A hundred thousand dollars!
00:08:36You lost your balance.
00:08:39Maybe work on your question.
00:08:39Julian, that is enough.
00:08:41Disrupting proceedings?
00:08:43Assault?
00:08:44Destruction of property?
00:08:46As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'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, he has to pay for it.
00:08:57Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:08:59Either pay up, or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:05Fine.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:08Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:10What one hundred thousand dollars?
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 can 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, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:35Well, you gonna wire me the money?
00:09:38Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:40And if so, you 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 Beyonce?
00:09:49Look at her now.
00:09:50She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:53A million dollars.
00:09:55Sheesh.
00:09:55What's the final offer?
00:09:57What do you mean?
00:10:02Hi.
00:10:03I 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?
00:10:28A private army?
00:10:29All right, Julian.
00:10:30The charade ends now.
00:10:31Leave the company and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:33But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:37We are done.
00:10:39You sure?
00:10:39Whoa, whoa.
00:10:40You heard that, Julian?
00:10:41Your engagement's over.
00:10:42Now get out before I-
00:10:44Bro, get your hands off me!
00:10:47Get 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 fucking look off your face!
00:10:58Enough!
00:11:03Mr. Brooks!
00:11:07That's David Brooks.
00:11:08President of Harveyview 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 hundred million loan?
00:11:13It can't be.
00:11:14That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:19Mr. Clark, the one million as requested.
00:11:30I'm shaking, I'm broken, we stand tall.
00:11:42What?!
00:11:44What?!
00:11:46Mr. Brooks, personally delivering cash?
00:11:49To Julian?
00:11:50Wait, the money is...
00:11:51It's real?
00:11:53Wait...
00:11:54Delivered by Mr. Brooks?
00:11:55I mean...
00:11:56Wait, who are you?
00:12:00What?
00:12:00Much appreciated.
00:12:01You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:09Mr. Brooks, sir.
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 you sometime.
00:12:20Mr. Clark, is there anything else you require?
00:12:24My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:26No, thank you.
00:12:27You can go down.
00:12:28Of course.
00:12:36A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting?
00:12:40Unprofessional.
00:12:42I'm suspending the hundred million dollar deal.
00:12:44We'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision.
00:12:47Yes, sir.
00:12:49Mr. 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 will 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-
00:13:04You'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.
00:13:37Yeah, 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.
00:14:05What you're committing is extortion.
00:14:07That's illegal.
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?
00:14:16That's a concern.
00:14:16Enough!
00:14:18Julian.
00:14:20You know, I know you think you're right, but a Stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars.
00:14:26A hundred million dollars?
00:14:28I...
00:14:29Dream on.
00:14:29Sure, a standard Stellar isn't worth that much.
00:14:32But this isn't a standard.
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 Billy Sullivan.
00:14:52SVP for Stellar.
00:14:53Here?
00:14:54You think it's about the $300 million part in each year, dude?
00:14:56$300 million?
00:14:57That's huge for us, but pocket change for Stellar.
00:15:00Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:02Mr. Sullivan.
00:15:05What an unexpected honor.
00:15:06I'm Sabrina Harper, CEO.
00:15:09What do we owe the...
00:15:10Mr. Clark.
00:15:11The 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 and came immediately.
00:15:19Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian too?
00:15:21Because his laptop impact triggered an alarm?
00:15:24Unbelievable.
00:15:24Mr. Clark, are you alright?
00:15:27Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:28It's just...
00:15:28It took a fall.
00:15:30God.
00:15:31This damage is significant.
00:15:33With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate, this 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!
00:15:48Are you questioning me?
00:15:49No, I just...
00:15:50I'll open your eyes.
00:15:51This is a one-off laptop with Stellar's quantum processors and proprietary components.
00:15:55You better pray that those data partitions are intact or that compensation will ruin you.
00:16:00I've just had the critical, critical data corruption here.
00:16:04It's highly confidential files, high market value.
00:16:08I mean, with our declarations, this is at least $70 million.
00:16:13That's $70 million?!
00:16:15Mr. Clark has 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.
00:16:39Who carries around a $100 million 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?
00:16:52And there's no way that there's a fucking laptop that costs $100 million!
00:16:55You know what?
00:16:56This is a fucking scam.
00:16:57These two, they're working together.
00:16:59I'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 a skim and nobody like you.
00:17:07Listen, I have someone.
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.
00:17:20What?!
00:17:21Um, Mr. Sullivan, please.
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 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.
00:17:42But...
00:17:43Stella'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.
00:17:55Sir, may I help?
00:17:57Please.
00:18:01Please.
00:18:05Mr. Sullivan, Harper 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, in my account, within 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.
00:18:29Mr. Sullivan, are our partners?
00:18:31Ms. Harper, get your house in order first.
00:18:34Stellar has standards.
00:18:35We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:38That'll be all.
00:18:39Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:40That was funny.
00:18:42Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:43A hundred million on the line and you swoop in the cover for him.
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.
00:19:01Julianna, 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, Julianna?
00:19:15You know, I'll admit it.
00:19:15Yeah, 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.
00:19:37Probably he could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:42Stop.
00:19:43Stop!
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?
00:20:03You.
00:20:13Get the fuck out!
00:20:15Julian, 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, don'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?
00:20:33Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:20:35Jared Harper brought you in!
00:20:37Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:40Who do you think you are?
00:20:41You, you, you 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.
00:20:55Well, looks like I won't need that phone call.
00:20:57Still running your mouth, huh?
00:20:58Move.
00:20:59Get the fuck out of here.
00:21:05What the hell is 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? Grandpa?
00:21:14What are you doing here?
00:21:21Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's gone on today.
00:21:25I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:30Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:33What?
00:21:34Chairman Harper apologizing to Julian?
00:21:38Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:41Chairman 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.
00:22:03Sylvina, 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?
00:22:17Sylvina, 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 Harperfin.
00:22:35Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:41Apologize to Julian, now!
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!
00:23:01Sylvina, enough!
00:23:03Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:05Let me apologize.
00:23:06Let's save him.
00:23:07If Sylvina can't manage an apology herself, then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:15Issue my order.
00:23:17Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:19Cease every protective measure, effective immediately!
00:23:22Julian, please, don't!
00:23:24Without you, this place doesn't survive!
00:23:27Look!
00:23:34What?
00:23:35Oh, I guess you would have just pulled out orders.
00:23:37What do you mean, hostile 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 group 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, Sylvina, 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 gas!
00:24:40It's continuous!
00:24:41The stock will crash straight through the floor!
00:24:44What did you say?
00:24:46Damn it!
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!
00:24:52Sylvina, 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!
00:25:06Apologize!
00:25:08Serena!
00:25:18Serena!
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!
00:25:31No.
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:34Oh!
00:25:35Oh!
00:25:35No your fucking fault!
00:25:36You apologize to Julian right now!
00:25:38Get on your n-
00:25:39Oh!
00:25:40Dad!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:44Dad 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 trade him like this!
00:25:50Stay out of the way no
00:25:53Really gonna go to war with Julian over this snake?
00:25:57Do you even have any idea who he really is whoever he is? It doesn't give him the right to
00:26:01just 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
00:26:09Serena that is enough. Wait, you hate bullies who throw their weight around, right? What about this guy?
00:26:15What about him? He hides behind your name to steal other people's work
00:26:18He throws tea on me in this very room. He squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a
00:26:23hundred thousand dollar watch
00:26:24Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:28But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:31Hey, 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. I have asked you out 37 times
00:26:42Because I thought we should at least get to know each other every time I have asked you out. You
00:26:46said I'm too busy with work
00:26:48But that wasn't the truth truth is is that you were too busy dating this sycophant listen to him and
00:26:54sing your praises, right?
00:26:57Who's that? Oh, let me guess. Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:05Just ignore him. Is he still your fiancee?
00:27:09It's okay. You still keep blowing him off?
00:27:12I just I can't stand him a spoiled air who thinks the world revolves around him
00:27:20So what if I did who I choose to hang out with is my own choice. We're engaged not married.
00:27:27I can see whoever I want
00:27:29Serena shut up. No, I am NOT done
00:27:34Damien has worked himself to the bone
00:27:36He is driven and disciplined and and when Harper first went public. He was a key reason that we made
00:27:42it if you had even half his talent, Julian
00:27:46Maybe I would have said yes to you once
00:27:49But you don't
00:27:53Danny was a key reason you made that that's your story right what is so funny? I mean, I'm laughing
00:27:58at just how foolish you are
00:28:01Do you know why for the past six months all of your proposals have sailed through?
00:28:06Why every deal that you like happened to have closed by every time that you wanted a loan the banks
00:28:11rolled out a special fast track for you
00:28:13Because Damien is brilliant because he has cleared every obstacle in my way Damien 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. I don't believe it
00:28:41Hey
00:28:42Eyes up Serena in the past six months. I've called in 47 separate connections and cleared a path for you
00:28:48Oh, I put Harper enterprise on the exchange and you know, I've made you Wall Street's business queen
00:28:53That's iron gate Northbridge and even silver line. Those are all the top 50 global Giants
00:28:58They all been begging us behind the scenes. No wonder every project went so smoothly
00:29:03Julian is the one with this kind of network Damien's got some nerves stealing credit for something like this. That's
00:29:08a death wish
00:29:12No, no, no, no, it's not true. Harper enterprise is what it is because of me and my hard work
00:29:18and my connections
00:29:19Oh, you perry good fool
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:31All right, that's enough
00:29:34Oh, I finally got the all clear for my grandfather
00:29:36I can go home
00:29:37So as of right now our engagement is terminated
00:29:41Julian all of this has been our fault
00:29:43But the engagement
00:29:44Let him go. I don't need a fiance who uses his family background to wreck people
00:29:51Without my connections and my network, Harper enterprise's stock is going to keep falling
00:29:56It's going to go right back to where it was six months ago
00:30:00What?
00:30:03Prepare yourselves
00:30:05Julian
00:30:06Julian
00:30:07Julian
00:30:11Serena
00:30:12You silly foolish foolish girl
00:30:16Grandpa
00:30:16I have never been clearer
00:30:19With or without him
00:30:20I will lead Harper enterprise back to the top
00:30:22Serena's right
00:30:23Mr. Harper
00:30:24Chairman Harper
00:30:25I'm gonna stand by Serena's side and I'm gonna give her everything that I've got
00:30:29Crap
00:30:29I'm gonna 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
00:30:50It has nothing to do with Julian
00:30:54This meeting is over
00:30:56Serena, 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
00:31:15Change the game
00:31:16And everyone will still think that we're in control
00:31:18Easy
00:31:20The $3 billion Crescent Lake project
00:31:23If we can win that contract
00:31:25We can wipe all the problems we've been facing
00:31:28Damien
00:31:29You've secured several of Amber Group's projects before
00:31:32And I'm gonna put this one in your hands too
00:31:34It's not gonna be a problem, right?
00:31:36No, no, absolutely
00:31:37You don't even count on me
00:31:38Amber Group's
00:31:39Deputy VP of projects
00:31:41I mean, you trust me clearly
00:31:43He else is good as ours
00:31:52Get the Crescent Lake contract ready
00:31:54Same as always
00:31:55Once the Harper team arrives
00:31:56We hand it straight to them
00:31:58Miss Lawson
00:31:59We just got an update
00:32:00Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise
00:32:02The engagement is off
00:32:04Serena fired him and ended it
00:32:08Are you sure?
00:32:10Absolutely
00:32:11Word is she listened to her assistant Damien
00:32:13Who really stirred the pot
00:32:14And then Serena personally pushed Julian out
00:32:17Serena really thinks she got where she is because of Damien?
00:32:20That for your little lap dog?
00:32:22Then do we still hand the Crescent Lake project over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:26Without Julian, Harper Enterprise really thinks it's worthy of Crescent Lake?
00:32:31Not a chance
00:32:33Open it to public bidding
00:32:34Yes, ma'am
00:32:42Now that is an amazing shot, Mr. Brooks
00:32:45Damien, Crescent Lake's public bid is coming up soon
00:32:49How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:05Damien?
00:33:06What does this mean, huh?
00:33:08Mr. Brooks, why don't you do yourself a favor and take a closer look?
00:33:13That's one million in clean crypto, untraceable
00:33:16Harper Enterprise is totally prepared to take on Crescent Lake
00:33:21We just need you to give us a little extra attention
00:33:24Oh my, Damien
00:33:27You're too kind
00:33:28Sure, it's public bidding on paper, but, uh
00:33:32As long as I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about
00:33:36Sit tight
00:33:38Contract's yours
00:33:41Ms. Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway
00:33:47Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks
00:34:15Well, wow
00:34:17Rinsed
00:34:19Jillian
00:34:21All right, Serena kicked you out
00:34:24Six months of hard work
00:34:26Down the drain
00:34:27What does that feel?
00:34:30Oh, I see
00:34:31So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit, is that right?
00:34:35Of course
00:34:36Not too
00:34:40I'm here to steal you
00:34:42You see
00:34:43Since your engagement is off
00:34:46I was thinking
00:34:49How 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
00:35:01So
00:35:02Why pick a stranger when there's someone who
00:35:06Actually knows you
00:35:07You see?
00:35:09Childhood friends
00:35:10Same circles
00:35:1415 years of school
00:35:16We match
00:35:17You know?
00:35:19We fit
00:35:21Hang on, Nora, you're
00:35:23Are you saying this because you're drunk or do you
00:35:25Shhh
00:35:33I'm not drunk
00:35:34Okay?
00:35:36You don't have to answer me tonight, just think about it, hm?
00:36:11I told you, I'm not drunk.
00:36:13Nora, this one should come off.
00:36:16Oh, shit.
00:36:17I'm drunk.
00:36:19Nora, this 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, 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 warm those tomorrow's company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breasts go 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 sleep 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?
00:38:11Speak 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.
00:38:45How 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 all take her hair.
00:39:00Is that so?
00:39:01You know, I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Crescent League 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 on herself.
00:39:53And if we do, I'll make sure we're going to go to brush.
00:40:14So 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?
00:40:31But if you like glassy, I can do glassy.
00:40:35Oh, can you?
00:40:35Yeah.
00:40:36You can do glassy?
00:40:37Yeah.
00:40:38Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:45I'll let you get to it.
00:40:50Sally?
00:41:07Julie!
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, and with Damien backing you up, it's
00:41:40unstoppable.
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.
00:42:04You 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, why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:14He recognizes Damien's talent, of course.
00:42:21I need to take this.
00:42:28Don't mind, Julian.
00:42:32What century are you living in?
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 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, get up on that stage, and give us a nice little poll
00:43:09show.
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.
00:43:30He'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, Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:19You're finished.
00:44:21Mr. Brooks.
00:44:23Give me my friend.
00:44:24There's a woman here.
00:44:26She says she's going to report 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 quoted 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, laugh.
00:44:51Laugh some more.
00:44:52Are you insane, Damien?
00:44:54You'll say anything out loud.
00:44:55Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:44:56She's just some gold-taking whore.
00:44:58I mean, even if she rats you out, who's going to believe this?
00:45:01Why are you kidding me?
00:45:03Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:05When did I ever take your money?
00:45:07I 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, 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!
00:45:48Stop!
00:45:49Shut the fuck up!
00:45:50When did I ever give you anything?
00:45:54Miss 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?
00:47:30I'm sorry.
00:47:32Here we go now.
00:47:33All right?
00:47:34I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones.
00:47:35But 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, sweetheart?
00:47:57Technology capital.
00:47:59Useless fucking trash.
00:48:02What?
00:48:03Shit!
00:48:03She actually recorded it?
00:48:05And escort.
00:48:06So why don't you do us all a nice little favor, get up on that stage, give us a nice
00:48:10little poll show.
00:48:13Who is that?
00:48:15He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:18That's Damian 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.
00:48:33I just don't...
00:48:34I don't believe it.
00:48:35I...
00:48:35Just turn it off.
00:48:36Turn it off right now!
00:48:37Stop him!
00:48:39Let go of me!
00:48:42Damian, you did this behind my back?
00:48:44This is your talent?
00:48:45Your ability?
00:48:47Yes, I mean, please just see us.
00:48:49Mr. Brooks' assistant?
00:48:50What a fucking routine.
00:48:52Listen to Sammy.
00:48:52Who are you to say anything?
00:48:54What do you think?
00:48:55You're Amber Group CEO?
00:48:57Amber...
00:48:58I'm sorry.
00:48:58I'm sorry.
00:48:59I'm sorry.
00:48:59I'm sorry.
00:49:00I'm sorry.
00:49:01Mr. Lawson, please.
00:49:01Just turn it off.
00:49:02Just...
00:49:03Please stop it!
00:49:04Please!
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?
00:49:24Damian, 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.
00:49:55The 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 am the person who hired Trash and called it talent?
00:50:12Real talent.
00:50:20Pathetic.
00:50:25Serena.
00:50:28Please, you gotta let me explain.
00:50:31Miss Lawson, wait.
00:50:32Serena!
00:50:37Serena!
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.
00:50:59Damian 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.
00:51:24Damian made a mistake.
00:51:26But his ability is exceptional.
00:51:30For six months, he managed every Harper Enterprise project lawlessly.
00:51:34No errors.
00:51:35No 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.
00:51:56I 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 Damian, right, Mason?
00:52:10Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:12For six months, Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted from Ember Group.
00:52:19For one reason.
00:52:21Julian Clark.
00:52:23Damian has nothing to do with that.
00:52:26He was just a messenger boy who picked up the contracts.
00:52:30What?
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.
00:52:42Damian'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 Damian is brilliant.
00:53:00It ran smoothly because Julian called every partner, every supplier, every gatekeeper, and cleared the path for you.
00:53:08Damian 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?
00:53:19Then watch.
00:53:20Watch what happens when Julian leaves.
00:53:24Let's see if your exceptional Damian 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 disgusted 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, no, Serena, Serena, do 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, she's attacking and 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 and you're, you're asking me to trust you?
00:54:27How?
00:54:28Tell me how.
00:54:29Please, 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 love.
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 to work
00:55:12together.
00:55:13Listen up.
00:55:14That's because Julian Clark was in your damn enterprise.
00:55:17I was giving him respect.
00:55:20You 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.
00:55:31I 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 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?
00:55:54Miss Parker.
00:55:56Miss Parker.
00:55:57Miss Parker.
00:55:57No.
00:55:57No.
00:55:57God damn it.
00:55:59No, no.
00:56:00I don't believe this.
00:56:01I don't believe this.
00:56:02Fucking Julian this whole fucking time.
00:56:04God damn it.
00:56:06Sorry.
00:56:07Sorry.
00:56:07Um, hello.
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?
00:56:15Learn some manners.
00:56:18Julian was polite enough to tolerate you playing sideman with his fiance.
00:56:21Say I'm not, you bastard, tooey.
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, pulling out a deal.
00:56:46Wait, what is happening?
00:56:48They said before they only worked with Harper Enterprise
00:56:50because 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.
00:57:03So, it's true.
00:57:05They only gave us deals because of Julian.
00:57:09Julian!
00:57:10No, no, no, no.
00:57:10Swina, 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 me 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.
00:57:35I didn't know that they would.
00:57:39Get out of my sight.
00:57:42Now!
00:58:01I was this close to locking Serena down, stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:05I'm not letting it end like this.
00:58:10I'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, Grandpa warned you, Grandpa warned you, and you still wouldn't listen.
00:58:42You, like, learn everything Julian did, and worshipped a con artist like Damien.
00:59:00And now look at you.
00:59:03Projects gone.
00:59:06Company collapsing.
00:59:09Idiot.
00:59:11You arrogant, stupid, idiot.
00:59:16I'm so stupid.
00:59:23Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:32Stop, Serena.
00:59:34Serena, listen.
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's business queen is so much better than those cheap.
01:00:15Girls, once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine.
01:00:21Oh, Damien!
01:00:22You sick bastard!
01:00:25You sick bastard!
01:00:29You...
01:00:29I really mean it.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:33You fucking...
01:00:34Get off me.
01:00:34I'm telling you the truth.
01:00:36I mean it, okay?
01:00:37I promise.
01:00:38I'll treat you well.
01:00:43You fucking monster, get off me, please.
01:00:46I'm begging you, don't!
01:00:48Say yes.
01:00:49Say yes.
01:00:50What are you doing?
01:00:53Oh!
01:00:54Oh!
01:00:55Oh!
01:00:55You're fucking dead!
01:00:56Ashley, help me!
01:00:58I tried being nice to you.
01:00:59I fucking tried!
01:01:00But you keep fighting me back!
01:01:02Help!
01:01:03Help!
01:01:03Help!
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!
01:01:16Help!
01:01:17Julian!
01:01:18Help!
01:01:19Oh!
01:01:20Oh!
01:01:21Get him out of here!
01:01:23Stop!
01:01:23Let me go!
01:01:24Julian, you know it's one of the fucking lines.
01:01:27This isn't over.
01:01:32Julian, thank 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 pick her up.
01:01:48Yes, sir.
01:01:52Julian, I am sorry.
01:01:54I know.
01:01:55I was wrong.
01:01:56I just...
01:01:57Please, come back.
01:01:59Julian!
01:02:00Our reservation is in 10 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.
01:02:22And you refused to listen.
01:02:26And Julian, if Julian doesn't come along, just at the right time.
01:02:30Oh my God.
01:02:32I can't even...
01:02:33I can't even think about it.
01:02:35If you don't do something about that stubborn pride of yours, one day, you live to regret it.
01:02:41Dad, Grandpa, please.
01:02:42Stop.
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.
01:03:20He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:22We're not letting that go.
01:03:24No, we're not.
01:03:27Understood.
01:03:58Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:05What is this supposed to be?
01:04:07A gift for you.
01:04:10Myself.
01:04:12I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:14Amber group backs you up.
01:04:16No questions asked.
01:04:18But first, you have to accept the gift.
01:04:22Oh, really.
01:04:32Hey, can you not do that?
01:04:35You're making this incredibly awkward.
01:04:38You know a woman like me shows up a gift wrapped,
01:04:41and any man would have, you know,
01:04:44housed me by now.
01:04:46Don't tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:49Hung up?
01:04:51You're 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.
01:05:03But 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 Gallas.
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,
01:05:22and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of me permanently.
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?
01:06:02No 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,
01:06:25then 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,
01:06:53you kind of remember that for the rest of your life.
01:06:56Details!
01:06:58Those are just tiny details.
01:07:02Look 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,
01:07:21and I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:23And if you take me back,
01:07:25just 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.
01:07:43Well, 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,
01:08:01someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:08:04Listen carefully.
01:08:05We are all together now,
01:08:06so better keep your distance.
01:08:08If you don't,
01:08:11I 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.
01:08:29Let'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.
01:08:51Of course.
01:08:52You know, Serena,
01:08:53it's an elite like Julian.
01:08:56The second you let go,
01:08:58somebody 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.
01:09:07God,
01:09:07forget the Harpers.
01:09:09Please.
01:09:11Ms. Hopper,
01:09:13finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:15Harper Enterprises' cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:18If we don't act immediately,
01:09:20we 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.
01:09:29No one's gonna lend to us now.
01:09:30How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:32This is my fault, okay?
01:09:35I was blind.
01:09:36Are you proud now?
01:09:38I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:09:42I didn't realize that Julian was running everything.
01:09:47And the moment he's gone,
01:09:48I can't do anything.
01:09:51Dad.
01:09:52Grandpa.
01:09:53I'm so sorry.
01:09:55I ruined the Harpers Enterprise.
01:09:58I ruined everything.
01:10:00I ruined the Harpers Enterprise.
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
01:10:07and 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, they honored our engagement.
01:10:25And that was a mercy.
01:10:26That was a blessing.
01:10:27But you threw it away.
01:10:33Still, for 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,
01:10:51your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:55If 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.
01:11:22Welcome!
01:11:23You must be here for Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:28Perfect timing.
01:11:29They're just about to start.
01:11:32Engagement party?
01:11:33So they're really engaged?
01:11:36How 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.
01:11:49Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:52You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:11:56Then please leave.
01:11:58Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:12:05If there's an engagement party,
01:12:08that means Julian's grandfather
01:12:10has 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.
01:12:41Big smiles.
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.
01:13:10Dad?
01:13:11The Harpers?
01:13:13My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:17For him,
01:13:18and his six months at Harper Enterprise,
01:13:22it was a total humiliation.
01:13:26We've shown the Harpers 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, okay?
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.
01:14:17Nora.
01:14:20Okay, Nora.
01:14:22Be honest.
01:14:23You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:25You just got engaged,
01:14:27and you're getting married next week?
01:14:30Let'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,
01:14:47and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:14:50I have to move fast.
01:14:52If 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.
01:15:01Why will Julian hesitate?
01:15:03What are you afraid of?
01:15:05You 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 do 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,
01:15:42and then vanished.
01:15:43He would not stay there
01:15:45and take six months of humiliation
01:15:47if 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.
01:15:55And I 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.
01:16:22Where 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.
01:16:50The whole fantasy.
01:16:51Oh my God, brilliant.
01:16:54And now for the exchange of rings.
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?
01:17:23You 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, Harper Enterprise is basically bankrupt.
01:17:33Pathetic.
01:17:34Wait!
01:17:36Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:41Julian, I know you like me.
01:17:43You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:17:46humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:52I know.
01:17:53I was wrong.
01:17:54Totally wrong.
01:17:55Okay?
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?
01:18:12No, please.
01:18:13I'll do anything.
01:18:15Just...
01:18:15Stop.
01:18:20I know you hate me because I rejected you 37 times,
01:18:25but I'll make it up to you.
01:18:28I'll chase you 37 times, 370 times, whatever it did.
01:18:33Enough.
01:18:33Can we please get her out?
01:18:35No, don't touch me!
01:18:36Julian, what do you want from me?
01:18:38I know you like me, so 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 is not a chance, but a tool.
01:19:04You want me back so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:08Huh?
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, do 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 standing in front of me today?
01:19:33I...
01:19:34No, I...
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 the business queen crown.
01:19:41You'd be mocking me, calling me pathetic.
01:19:43You'd say that firing me was the best decision you ever made.
01:19:46Plus, you'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, you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:20:01Why?
01:20:01Because you want me back as 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 without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:12No.
01:20:14No, Julian.
01:20:16That is not true.
01:20:17The night that you saved me from 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, I'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 since we were kids.
01:20:56When I was sick,
01:20:57she stayed up all night taking 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 to Harper Enterprise on the engagement,
01:21:08she still supported me.
01:21:10She still took hits from me.
01:21:15So, let me ask you.
01:21:18Why would I give up all of that for you?
01:21:22What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:29Get her out.
01:21:30No, no.
01:21:31No, please don't, Julian.
01:21:33Don't, don't, don't.
01:21:34I'm begging you.
01:21:35Just please let me explain.
01:21:37Please.
01:21:38Please, let me, please, stop.
01:21:39Let me go.
01:21:40Julian, please don't do it.
01:21:42Crashing a wedding like that?
01:21:44I thought she actually loved him.
01:21:46Turns out,
01:21:46she just realized,
01:21:47without Julian,
01:21:49she can't stay on top.
01:21:50She used Julian's feelings like a weapon.
01:21:52Totally vampire-drained him dry.
01:22:24Mr. Clark!
01:22:42I'm sure you've all heard.
01:22:45Harper Enterprise,
01:22:46affected today,
01:22:47has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:49So,
01:22:50we're all being terminated.
01:22:52What?
01:22:52What?
01:22:54Mr. Clark,
01:22:55that's too much.
01:22:56I've given this company 15 years.
01:22:59You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:23:0115 years, wow.
01:23:03Congratulations.
01:23:04You've had 15 years to make this company clean,
01:23:06and instead,
01:23:06you've turned it into a suit.
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.
01:23:16Friday,
01:23:16bribes,
01:23:17embezzlement,
01:23:20kickbacks,
01:23:22fraud.
01:23:24Every one of you
01:23:25doesn't file.
01:23:26So,
01:23:26we're going to be passing out
01:23:27some resignation,
01:23:28uh,
01:23:28terms,
01:23:29and,
01:23:30uh,
01:23:31let's just sign them,
01:23:32hand over your badges,
01:23:34or you're going to rob them.
01:23:37This. This is it.
01:23:53Are you satisfied, Mal?
01:23:56Satisfied? Thomas went to my grandfather.
01:23:59He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:24:04I saved you.
01:24:07Julian!
01:24:10If I didn't treat you the way I did, would any of this be different?
01:24:24Julian, right here, thrown away and still land something better.
01:24:27I spent my whole life climbing upwards and now I'm stuck at the bottom, hunted by cops.
01:24:31I won't accept it.
01:24:34Julian, what's yours?
01:24:35Julian!
01:24:40Let me go! Fucking let me go!
01:24:42I already spared you.
01:24:43You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:46Go ahead, take him to the police.
01:24:47Get the best of all your money can buy. I want him to ride in jail.
01:24:50Fucking coward. You're a fucking coward!
01:24:51Hiding behind your goddamn family's wedding.
01:24:53No, no, fight me. 101! 101!
01:24:55Let the guards go!
01:24:57You don't have the fucking guts, do you?
01:25:02Hey, Julian.
01:25:04What was that?
01:25:06Just taking out the trash.
01:25:08Are you done here?
01:25:11No. Let's go.
01:25:19I was wrong! Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:23Oh my God.
01:25:24Wait, they're not good!
01:25:26Me, what are you doing?евидous.
01:25:26You probably would
01:25:27kill zombie. Awkward.
