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.
00:01:50Oh, my God.
00:02:14Today, Damien successfully 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 own House of Table 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.
00:03:10Julian, our company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:15Pirate may be!
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?
00:03:55All right, 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, well, well, yeah, well.
00:04:09Well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:11All right.
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.
00:04:39You, a useless, game-addicted fucking loser, dare to question me?
00:04:44You know what, Clark?
00:04:45You're fucking fired!
00:04:48Now 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 now.
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 old friend, good staff.
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 back.
00:05:40Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:42My life, my choice.
00:05:44Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that...
00:05:47Enough!
00:05:48Oh, that's it.
00:05:49You're going to do this.
00:05:51I've already arranged everything.
00:05:52You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:55Go work with Serena.
00:05:57And date her properly, hmm?
00:06:01You refuse.
00:06:04Okay, nurse, Dr. Ann, check it out.
00:06:07Well, 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, all right.
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 and help them please for 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, 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?
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 now or I'm going to call security and I'm going to drag your ass out.
00:07:29Suit yourself.
00:07:31Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:36Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:39You will leave.
00:07:39Now, 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.
00:07:58You don'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 fiancé is telling you to get lost.
00:08:16So, why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost before I fucking do it?
00:08:20What?
00:08:28You're broken.

00:12:00Much appreciated. You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:09Mr. Brooks, sir, we 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? My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:26No, thank you. You can go down. Of course.
00:12:36A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting? Unprofessional.
00:12:42I'm suspending the $100 million deal. We'll reassess when there's adult supervision.
00:12:47Yes, sir.
00:12:49Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:53Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:55Let's see him explain this to the chairman. The chairman will have his head.
00:12:59This is all your fault, all right? You 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. In full. Which makes this watch...
00:13:18It's mine.
00:13:20You arrogant.
00:13:22Son of a bitch!
00:13:27I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it? I bet you ought to sell your house
00:13:29to scrape this together, you fucking loser.
00:13:36But it's all mine now.
00:13:38Yeah, sure. The debt for the watch is settled. But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:42That useless piece of junk, how much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:45I don't know, maybe about...
00:13:48A hundred million?
00:13:49A hundred million dollars!
00:13:54For a laptop? Have you lost your mind?
00:13:58A hundred million.
00:14:00For a laptop.
00:14:01Julian, the law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:05What's your committee 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, you know, I know you think you're right, but a stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars?
00:14:26A hundred million dollars? I...
00:14:29Dream on.
00:14:29Sure, a standard stellar isn't worth that much, but 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?
00:15:03Mr. Sullivan.
00:15:04Uh, what an unexpected honor.
00:15:06I'm Sabrina Harper, uh, CEO.
00:15:08Do, what do we owe the...
00:15:10Mr. Clark, our security have detected an urgent impact alert from your device, and the signal
00:15:15originated 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.
00:15:25Mr. Clark, are you all right?
00:15:27Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:28It just 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...
00:15:50Well, 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 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.
00:16:13That's $70 million?
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.
00:16:39Who 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?
00:16:51And there's no way that there's a fucking laptop that cost $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 scam and nobody like you.
00:17:07Listen, I have someone.
00:17:09Miss 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.
00:17:31You, 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 may I help me?
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.
00:18:29Mr. Sullivan, our Harper's...
00:18:30Miss 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!
00:18:40Oh, that's funny.
00:18:42Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:43A hundred million on the line and you swoop in to 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, but 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?
00:19:15You 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, which 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.
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, which 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.
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 brought 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?
00:20:44Julian, 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 won't need that phone call.
00:20:57Still running your mouth, huh?
00:20:58Move.
00:20:59Get the fuck out of here.
00:21:00Hey.
00:21:05What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:07Here's my phone call.
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?
00:21:21Julian.
00:21:22I've been filled in on everything that's gone 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 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?
00:21:46Please shut up.
00:21:55How 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.
00:22:21You 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!
00:23:02Sylvina, enough!
00:23:03Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:05Let me apologize.
00:23:06Save it.
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!
00:23:29Oh!
00:23:30What?
00:23:33Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
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.
00:23:52What?
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
00:24:02facing massive losses.
00:24:04Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:08Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:10Why 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, and 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?
00:24:46Dammit.
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?
00:24:58What?
00:24:58Apologize to Julian.
00:25:00No!
00:25:05Serena, apologize.
00:25:08Serena.
00:25:18Serena.
00:25:19Serena, do not apologize.
00:25:21Harper Enterprises worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
00:25:24You 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
00:25:30he has done to you.
00:25:32No!
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:34Oh!
00:25:35No, your 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!
00:25:43Damien!
00:25:43Dad, stop!
00:25:45Damien has only ever stood up for me.
00:25:47He is the only one who actually cares about me, and I won't let you treat him like this.
00:25:50Stay out of the way.
00:25:51No!
00:25:53You really gonna go to war with Julian over this snake?
00:25:57Do you even have any idea who he really is?
00:25:59Whoever he is, it doesn't give him the right to just bully people like this.
00:26:03I cannot stand bullies who throw their weight around, and today that is exactly what you
00:26:09look like to me.
00:26:10Serena, that is enough.
00:26:11Wait, 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 hundred thousand dollar wash.
00:26:24Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:26Oh, I-
00:26:28But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:31Yeah, you're no saint.
00:26:33You're just biased.
00:26:36You know, I've been engaged to you for the past six months.
00:26:39I have asked you out 37 times.
00:26:42Yeah, because I thought we should at least get to know each other.
00:26:44Every time I have asked you out, you said, I'm too busy with work.
00:26:48But that wasn't the truth.
00:26:50The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant.
00:26:54Listen 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.
00:27:39And when Harper first went public, he was a key reason that we made it.
00:27:43If you had even half his talent, Julian, maybe 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, all 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, the banks rolled out a special fast track for you.
00:28:13Because Damien is brilliant.
00:28:15Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way.
00:28:18Damien?
00:28:19Brilliant?
00:28:20That was Julien.
00:28:23Julien is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together.
00:28:27Serena.
00:28:28No.
00:28:29That is impossible.
00:28:31I don't believe it.
00:28:41Hey.
00:28:42Highs up, Serena.
00:28:43In 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.
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 backing us behind the scenes?
00:29:00No wonder every project went so smoothly.
00:29:03Julian's the one with this kind of network.
00:29:05Damien's got some nerves stealing credit for something like this.
00:29:08That's a death wish.
00:29:12No, no, no.
00:29:13It's not true, huh?
00:29:14Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me and my hard work and my connections.
00:29:19You period fool.
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:31Okay.
00:29:32All right.
00:29:32That's enough.
00:29:34I finally got the all clear for my grandfather.
00:29:36I can go home.
00:29:37So, as of right now, our engagement is terminated.
00:29:41Do it.
00:29:41All of this has been our fault.
00:29:43But the engagement.
00:29:45Let him go.
00:29:46I don't need a fiance 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?
00:30:03Come on.
00:30:04Prepare yourselves.
00:30:06Julian.
00:30:06Julian.
00:30:07That's it.
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
00:30:27everything that I've got.
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, but 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!
00:30:59Uh, tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:07Serena!
00:31:08Serena!
00:31:09Don't even worry about that.
00:31:11I know our enterprise took a huge hit today, but as long as we lock down Amber Group's Crescent
00:31:14Lake project, change the game, and everyone will still think that we're in control.
00:31:18Easy.
00:31:20The three billion dollar 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, absolutely.
00:31:37You don't even count on me.
00:31:39Amber Group's deputy VP of projects.
00:31:41I mean, you trust me clearly.
00:31:44He 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, we hand it straight to them.
00:31:58Miss 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.
00:32:11Word is she listened to her assistant Damien who really stirred the pot and 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.
00:32:32Open 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?
00:33:06What 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.
00:33:17Harper Enterprise is totally prepared to take on Crescent Lake.
00:33:21We just need you to give us a little extra attention.
00:33:25Oh my, Damien, you're too kind.
00:33:28Sure, it's a public bidding on paper, but as long as I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about.
00:33:36Sit tight.
00:33:38Contract's yours.
00:33:41Miss Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway.
00:33:47Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:34:06You're alright Serena.
00:34:08Miss Larson, you're too late.
00:34:11Miss Larson.

01:01:23Stop! Let me go!
01:01:25Julian, you know this one in the fucking place.
01:01:27This isn't over.
01:01:32Julian, thank god you came and you had that-
01:01:36We are not that close.
01:01:40I was just passing through, I heard some screaming, so I stopped by to check.
01:01:43You.
01:01:44I want you to call the Harper family.
01:01:46Tell them to come pick her up.
01:01:48Yes, sir.
01:01:50Julian!
01:01:52I'm sorry.
01:01:54I know, I was wrong.
01:01:56Just, please come back.
01:01:59Julian!
01:02:01Our 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.
01:02:22And 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, I 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, stop.
01:02:43I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:47I'll apologize to Julian and I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:55The problem with that is that you may feel that way, but Julian might not.
01:02:59Grandpa, don't worry.
01:03:04I, I will apologize properly and I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:09That'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.
01:03:28We're good.
01:03:59Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:05What is this supposed to be?
01:04:08A gift for you.
01:04:10Myself.
01:04:12I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:14Every group backs you up, no questions asked.
01:04:17But first, you have to accept the gift properly.
01:04:31Hey, 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 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?
01:04:52You're not gonna 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 go with them 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 Wallace.
01:05:16Wait, what are you talking about? Are you serious?
01:05:18Yes, Julian.
01:05:20My uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of me permanently.
01:05:25But I don't want a stranger. I want you.
01:05:28I love you.
01:05:32Julian, 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 take-backs.
01:06:03No take-backs.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:05I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:08Wait, can you help me out?
01:06:12Um, my hands are getting wet.
01:06:15So impatient.
01:06:19It's like you said, if 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, kind of, you kind of remember that for the rest of
01:06:56your life.
01:06:56Details.
01:06:57Details.
01:06:58Those are just tiny details.
01:07:02You look like big details to me.
01:07:08Julian, can 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.
01:07:24And 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.
01:07:43Well, 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?
01:07:56A man like him?
01:07:59If you treat him like trash, someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:08:04Listen carefully, we are 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.
01:08:48He's the CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:50Of course.
01:08:52You know, Serena, he'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.
01:09:15Harper Enterprise's 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.
01:09:29That was going to lend to us now.
01:09:31How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:33This is my fault.
01:09:34Okay?
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, I can't do anything.
01:09:51Dad.
01:09:52Grandpa, I'm so sorry.
01:09:55I ruined Harper Enterprise.
01:09:58I ruined everything.
01:10:00Dad, you're the one who arranged the engagement with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:04So 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.
01:10:28But you threw it away.
01:10:33Still, for your sake and for your future, and for our future, we'll fight.
01:10:42Yeah.
01:10:46Serena, when you see Julian's grandfather, your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:55If he forgives you, only 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?
01:11:36No.
01:11:36No.
01:11:36No.
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?
01:11:56Then, please leave.
01:11:58Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:12:05If there's an engagement party, that 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.
01:12:30Big smiles.
01:12:37Big smiles.
01:12:39Big smiles.
01:12:41Big smiles.
01:12:43Big smiles.
01:12:45Are you okay?
01:12:46Hey.
01:12:47What is it?
01:12:53It's nothing.
01:12:55Come on.
01:12:55Dinner's almost ready.
01:13:09Dad.
01:13:11The Harpers.
01:13:13My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:17For a young one.
01:13:20For six months at Harper Enterprise, it 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, Red Tarper 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, and then I am taking you home.
01:14:17Okay, Nora.
01:14:20Okay, Nora.
01:14:21Be honest.
01:14:23You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:25You just got engaged, and 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, and 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, what 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?
01:15:04You don't get it.
01:15:07Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months, and it wasn't just because he's grandfather watery.
01:15:13Then why?
01:15:16Because Serena is his type.
01:15:20Wait, what?
01:15:24I 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, even if his grandfather forced him, he would have stayed there for three days max
01:15:41and then vanished.
01:15:43He would not stay there and take six months of humiliation if he didn't want it to.
01:15:48That's...
01:15:50That's...
01:15:50Julian Clark.
01:15:51So that's why?
01:15:53Serena must have destroyed him.
01:15:55I have to get married.
01:15:56Fast.
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 because 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, let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:45Wow.
01:16:46They 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.
01:17:05Kate!
01:17:15Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:17Serena, 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, 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 humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:52I know. I was wrong. Totally wrong, okay?
01:17:55Just please.
01:17:57Give me another chance.
01:18:02Our 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.
01:18:13No, please. I'll do anything. Just...
01:18:19I know you hate me because I rejected you 37 times, but I'll make it up to you.
01:18:28I'll chase you 37 times, 370 times, whatever it did.
01:18:33Just...
01:18:33Can we please get her out?
01:18:34No, don't touch me!
01:18:36Julian, what do you want from me? I know you like me.
01:18:40So, 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. You 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?
01:19:09No, that...
01:19:11That's not true.
01:19:13Just please.
01:19:15Listen. Please, listen.
01:19:16Enough. Serena.
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, if your value kept climbing,
01:19:28would you still be here standing in front of me today?
01:19:33I...
01:19:33No, I...
01:19:35No, you wouldn't. You 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. Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:07But the moment I stop being useful, you 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, I...
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, when I met you, you were exactly my type.
01:20:41But once I got to know you, once I realized what you really are, all 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, she stayed up all night taking care of me.
01:21:01When I was at my lowest, she pulled me back up.
01:21:04Even when I went back to Harper Enterprise on the engagement, she 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.
01:21:29No, no.
01:21:31No, please don't, Julian.
01:21:32Don't, don't.
01:21:34I'm begging you, just please let me explain.
01:21:37Please!
01:21:38Please, let me, please stop, let 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, she just realized, without Julian, she can't stay on top.
01:21:50She used Julian's feelings like a weapon.
01:21:52Totally vampire-drained him dry.
01:21:54Thank you for this conversation.
01:22:04Take care.
01:22:05I can't wait.
01:22:09I can't wait.
01:22:13I could go.
01:22:13I can't wait.
01:22:16I can't wait.
01:22:17I can't wait.
01:22:19I'm sorry.
01:22:24I can't wait.
01:22:24Mr. Clark!
01:22:42I'm sure you've all heard.
01:22:45Harper Enterprise, effective today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:49So, we're all being terminated.
01:22:52What?!
01:22:54Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:22:56I've given this company 15 years. You can't just walk in and fire everyone!
01:23:01Fifteen years, wow. Congratulations.
01:23:04You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:10You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:13I'm seeing how you all work.
01:23:14I'm sure.
01:23:16Bribes.
01:23:17Embezzlement.
01:23:20Kickbacks.
01:23:22Fraud.
01:23:24Every one of you doesn't file.
01:23:26So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms.
01:23:30And once you sign them, hand over your badges, or you're going to rob him.
01:23:35This!
01:23:38This is it!
01:23:40This!
01:23:51This is it!
01:23:53Are you satisfied now?
01:23:55Satisfied?
01:23:57Thomas 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, why did you get thrown away and still land something better?
01:24:27I spent my whole life climbing upwards and now I'm stuck at the bottom.
01:24:30Hunted by cops.
01:24:31I won't accept it.
01:24:34Julian, what's yours?
01:24:35Julian, let's go!
01:24:39Let me go!
01:24:41Fucking let me go!
01:24:42I already spared you.
01:24:43You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:46Take him to the police.
01:24:47Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:48I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:49Fucking coward!
01:24:50You're a fucking coward!
01:24:52Hiding behind your goddamn family's money!
01:24:53No, no, fight me!
01:24:54101!
01:24:55101, let the guards go!
01:24:57You don't have the fucking guts to you!
01:25:02Hey, Julian.
01:25:04What was that?
01:25:06Just staking out the trash.
01:25:08Are you done here?
01:25:09Julian?
01:25:11No.
01:25:12Let's go.
01:25:19I was wrong!
01:25:21Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:25Julian, I was wrong!
