00:00:03Breaking news. Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack. In the past hour alone, the conglomerate has lost over
00:00:10a billion dollars in argumentation.
00:00:12Help me up here on drowning. I can drown you.
00:00:16Help me up here on drowning. I can drown you.
00:00:18Help me up here on drowning. I can drown you.
00:00:23No, you have to buy.
00:00:23I need you to buy the stock, alright?
00:00:25You gotta do it now.
00:00:28This isn't some random dip. Whoever's shorting us came prepared. They're tearing us apart.
00:00:32We can't hold the line. We're about to become the laughing stock of Wall Street.
00:00:35No! No! We're not finished.
00:00:38We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:43The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:47Julia, we need you. Again.
00:00:51Shit. Shit.
00:00:55Give me a sec.
00:01:00Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:03Good, good, yeah. I just need to ask you for a little favor.
00:01:12Julian, you saved my ass last time. I owe you. I'm moving liquidity to Harper now.
00:01:19Great.
00:01:23The stock price is recovering. How is that possible?
00:01:27Did Mr. Clark just fix this with a few calls?
00:01:30Julian, what would Harper do without you?
00:01:33Julian, Damien's assistant called. Called in all hands. All department leads. Conference room in ten minutes. Chairman's orders.
00:01:41Why would Damien call in the meeting? He despises you. Watch your back.
00:01:56I'm going.
00:01:57He's going.
00:01:58He's going.
00:01:59He's going.
00:02:01I'm going.
00:02:02He's going.
00:02:03I'm not your, my.
00:02:03He's going.
00:02:14Alright, this.
00:02:14Today, Damien successfully released his contract.
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 one 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.
00:02:48Hello. Is there a problem?
00:02:51Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the fire.
00:02:54The least that every single one of you could do.
00:02:55Damien.
00:02:59Of course.
00:03:01Questions?
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?
00:03:16Keep sharing. I'm listening.
00:03:21This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:25Wait, 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, we'll start with a question.
00:03:45Which 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.
00:03:52What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:53You can't even name your enemy?
00:03:55Alright, fine. Next question.
00:03:58Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights?
00:04:00And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:03Well...
00:04:05Well...
00:04:08Well...
00:04:08Well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:12Alright.
00:04:12So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room, the countermeasures for a potential
00:04:17proxy fight, or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:24Let's be real.
00:04:25Well, you 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?
00:04:45You know what, Clark?
00:04:46You'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.
00:05:06Understood.
00:05:08Now, hearing's not enough.
00:05:09I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company.
00:05:11Now.
00:05:17You took our family's market cap and raised it to $3 trillion.
00:05:22You've proven everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:24Now, uh, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:27Harper is, uh, old friend, good staff, you know?
00:05:32Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper.
00:05:35What you're talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:37Feelings can grow, brat.
00:05:39Our families go way better.
00:05:41Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:44My life, my choice.
00:05:46Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that-
00:05:48Enough!
00:05:48Ah!
00:05:49Oh, that's it.
00:05:50You're going to do this.
00:05:52I've already arranged everything.
00:05:53You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:56Go work with Serena.
00:05:58And date her properly, hmm?
00:06:03You'll refuse.
00:06:05Okay.
00:06:06Nurse?
00:06:06Doctor, I'm checking out.
00:06:08Well, the grandson won't listen.
00:06:10What's the point?
00:06:10Okay.
00:06:11Let the heart attack take me now.
00:06:12Okay, all right.
00:06:13I'll go.
00:06:15I know.
00:06:17I know when I passed, okay?
00:06:18For years, you've carried this family on your back.
00:06:22We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:24The Harper's never in trouble.
00:06:26We do not abandon our own.
00:06:30Use that brilliant head of yours.
00:06:33And help them, please, for me.
00:06:37Fine.
00:06:38I'll do it.
00:06:40I hear you.
00:06:48For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked,
00:06:51using every resource, every contact to help her.
00:06:54I pulled Harper Enterprises from the brink of bankruptcy
00:06:56and made it soar.
00:06:57I made Serena Harper, the queen of the city's business world.
00:07:00And for what?
00:07:02So she could give my triumphs and victories to that sycophant Damien?
00:07:06It's time to come home.
00:07:14You asked for my opinion and you couldn't handle it.
00:07:17So, pathetic.
00:07:18I said you're fired.
00:07:20Get your shit and get the fuck out of my door.
00:07:22I heard you.
00:07:23I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay and then I'm gone.
00:07:26I said no!
00:07:28Or I'm gonna call security and you can drag your ass out.
00:07:30Suit yourself.
00:07:32Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:37Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:40You will leave.
00:07:41Now, do not disrupt this company any further.
00:07:45Serena, is that really the best play you want to make here?
00:07:47I will not repeat it.
00:07:48And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:51You know what, Serena?
00:07:52Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:08:00You?
00:08:00Don't push your luck, Clark.
00:08:02The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the first place
00:08:04is because of your dusty fucking engagement to Serena.
00:08:07And you have the audacity to act all high and mighty?
00:08:10You're fucking nothing.
00:08:12You're a little trust fund, entitled piece of shit baby.
00:08:15I mean, even your fiance is telling you to get lost.
00:08:18Why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost
00:08:20before I fucking...
00:08:29You broke it.
00:08:31You broke my petite.
00:08:32You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole?
00:08:34A hundred thousand dollars!
00:08:38You lost your balance.
00:08:41Maybe work on your question.
00:08:42Julian, that is enough.
00:08:43Disrupting proceedings?
00:08:45Assault?
00:08:46Destruction of property?
00:08:47As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:51Effective immediately.
00:08:53Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:55Serena, he broke my watch.
00:08:56The gift you got me for my birthday.
00:08:58He has to pay for it.
00:08:59Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:09:00Either pay up, or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:07Fine.
00:09:09I'll pay.
00:09:10Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:12What, one hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:13It's a million.
00:09:15A million for that.
00:09:16It's a gift from Serena.
00:09:17It's priceless.
00:09:18A million dollars being generous.
00:09:20You could fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:22A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:25He does have a point card.
00:09:26You break it, you buy it.
00:09:28That's the rule.
00:09:29Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:36Well, you gonna wire me the money?
00:09:40Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:42And if so, you can crawl out of here, and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:48So what if you're Serena's fiancé?
00:09:51Look at her now.
00:09:52She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:56A million dollars.
00:09:57That's the final offer?
00:09:59What do you mean?
00:10:04Hi.
00:10:04I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:23You just called for a million dollars in cash?
00:10:28Like a stakeout?
00:10:29What's next?
00:10:30A private army?
00:10:32All right, Julian.
00:10:32The charade ends now.
00:10:33Leave the company, and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:36But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:39We are done.
00:10:41You sure?
00:10:42Whoa!
00:10:43Whoa!
00:10:43You heard that, Julian?
00:10:44Your engagement's over.
00:10:45Now get out before I-
00:10:47Hey, bro!
00:10:47Get your hands off me!
00:10:52Put your fucking hands on me.
00:10:54You know what?
00:10:54I'm gonna wipe that smug-
00:10:56Fucking look off your face!
00:11:01Enough!
00:11:06Mr. Brook!
00:11:09That's David Brook's.
00:11:10President of Harvey View Bank.
00:11:12What's a Wall Street titan doing on a company?
00:11:14Do you think it has to do with the hundred million loan?
00:11:16It can't be.
00:11:17That amount isn't worth Mr. Brook's personal involvement.
00:11:22Mr. Clark.
00:11:23The one million.
00:11:25As requested.
00:11:45What?
00:11:48Mr. Brook's.
00:11:50Personally delivering cash?
00:11:51To Julian?
00:11:53Wait.
00:11:53The money is...
00:11:54It's real?
00:11:55Wait.
00:11:56Delivered by Mr. Brook's?
00:11:57I mean...
00:11:59Wait.
00:11:59Who are you?
00:12:03Much appreciated.
00:12:04You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:12Mr. Brook's.
00:12:13Mr. Brook's.
00:12:13Sir.
00:12:14We are...
00:12:15So honored.
00:12:16By your visit.
00:12:17My grandfather, he speaks of you often.
00:12:19I'm sure he'd...
00:12:20Love to get a round of golf scheduled with me sometime.
00:12:23Mr. Clark.
00:12:25Is there anything else you require?
00:12:27My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:29No.
00:12:30Of course.
00:12:39A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting?
00:12:44Unprofessional.
00:12:45I'm suspending the hundred million dollar deal.
00:12:47We'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision.
00:12:50Yes, sir.
00:12:52Mr. Brook's, I...
00:12:56Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:58Let's see him explain this to the chairman.
00:12:59The chairman will have his head.
00:13:02This is all your fault, all right?
00:13:04You gotta fix this.
00:13:05You call him back here and get that loan reinstated,
00:13:07or I swear I'm gonna...
00:13:08You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:11As for us...
00:13:14One million.
00:13:15In full.
00:13:16Which makes this watch...
00:13:22It's mine.
00:13:24You arrogant...
00:13:25Son of a bitch!
00:13:29I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it?
00:13:31I bet you ought to sell your house to scrape this together, you fucking loser.
00:13:39But it's all mine now.
00:13:41Yeah, sure.
00:13:41The debt for the watch is settled.
00:13:43But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:45That useless piece of junk?
00:13:46How much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:48Ooh.
00:13:49I don't know.
00:13:49Maybe about...
00:13:50A hundred million?
00:13:52A hundred million dollars!
00:13:57For a laptop?
00:13:58Have you lost your mind?
00:14:01A hundred million.
00:14:03For a laptop.
00:14:05Julian.
00:14:06The law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:09Which your committee is extortion.
00:14:11That's illegal!
00:14:12So, him extorting me for a million was legal then, right?
00:14:15By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago?
00:14:18Huh?
00:14:19That's a concern.
00:14:20Enough!
00:14:21Julian.
00:14:23You know, I know you think you're right.
00:14:25What?
00:14:25A stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars?
00:14:29A hundred million dollars?
00:14:31I...
00:14:32Dream on.
00:14:33Sure.
00:14:33A standard stellar isn't worth that much.
00:14:35But this isn't the standard, is it?
00:14:37What is it, made of gold?
00:14:38Even then, it's still gonna cost a hundred million fucking dollars.
00:14:42You know what?
00:14:43You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:52Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:54That's Bill Sullivan.
00:14:55SVP for stellar.
00:14:57Here?
00:14:57You think it's about the $300 million partnership, dude?
00:15:00300 million?
00:15:01That's huge for us, but pocket change for stellar.
00:15:04Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:06Mr. Sullivan.
00:15:08Uh...
00:15:08What an unexpected honor.
00:15:10I'm...
00:15:10I'm Serena Harper.
00:15:11Uh, CEO.
00:15:12Do...
00:15:12What do we owe the...
00:15:13Mr. Clark.
00:15:14The security have detected an urgent impact alone from your device.
00:15:18And the signal originated here.
00:15:20We were concerned for your safety and care immediately.
00:15:22Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian too?
00:15:24Because his laptop impact triggered an alarm?
00:15:27Unbelievable.
00:15:28Mr. Clark, are you alright?
00:15:30Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:31It just...
00:15:31Took a fall.
00:15:34God.
00:15:34This damage is significant.
00:15:37With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate, this could be $30 million.
00:15:45$30 million?
00:15:46No, no, no, no.
00:15:47To fix a fucking laptop?
00:15:49That's impossible!
00:15:50There's no way!
00:15:51Are you questioning me?
00:15:52No, I just...
00:15:53I'll open your eyes.
00:15:54This is a one-off laptop with Stellar's quantum processors and proprietary components.
00:15:59You better pray that those data partitions are intact or that compensation will ruin you.
00:16:03I've just had the critical, critical data corruption here.
00:16:07It's highly confidential files, high market value.
00:16:11I mean, with our declarations, this is at least $70 million.
00:16:17Mr. Clark has the data on his laptop registered with monetary values to the security division.
00:16:24All damages to our fullest extent.
00:16:27Here.
00:16:29Receipts for the hardware and the notarized value declarations for the data.
00:16:33See for yourself.
00:16:43I mean, who carries around a $100 million laptop?
00:16:50Who exactly are you?
00:16:51You don't get to know.
00:16:53In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:56There's no way that there's a fucking laptop that costs $100 million.
00:16:59You know what?
00:17:00This is a fucking scam.
00:17:01These two, they're working together.
00:17:03I'm telling you, it's a con.
00:17:04Are you serious?
00:17:05I'm Blake Sullivan.
00:17:07I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:09I don't fly across the city of Skimm and nobody like you.
00:17:12Listen, I have someone.
00:17:13This is Harper.
00:17:14This is the employee you hire.
00:17:16He's a fool.
00:17:17And it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:20Oh, by the way, our partnership deal?
00:17:23Consider it terminated.
00:17:25What?
00:17:25Um, Mr. Sullivan, please.
00:17:28Damien is just...
00:17:29He's stressy.
00:17:30He didn't mean...
00:17:31Save it.
00:17:32You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:35And you, if you dispute evaluations, we can settle it in court.
00:17:39My legal team has 965 lawyers.
00:17:42I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:47Stellar's legal team is legendary.
00:17:49He never lost.
00:17:50Damien can't fight this.
00:17:52Hell, the entire Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this.
00:17:56He's done for.
00:17:59Swimming up now.
00:18:01Please.
00:18:06Please.
00:18:10Mr. Sullivan, Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation.
00:18:14Will that suffice?
00:18:16I'm just here to certify facts.
00:18:18You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:22Full payment.
00:18:24In my account.
00:18:25Within three days.
00:18:27In that case, we're done here.
00:18:30Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else.
00:18:32We'll do it.
00:18:34Mr. Sullivan, are our partners...
00:18:35Mr. Harper, get your house in order first.
00:18:38Stellar has standards.
00:18:40We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:43That'll be all.
00:18:43Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:45That's funny.
00:18:46Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:48A hundred million on the line and you swoop in the cover for him.
00:18:51You know, I just hope that your father and your grandfather are as generous as you are.
00:18:57Whether her father or Chairman Harper approve is none of your goddamn business!
00:19:01We don't need someone like you worrying about it!
00:19:03He's right.
00:19:05Julian, I give you my word.
00:19:07The full amount will be paid within three days.
00:19:09But under one condition.
00:19:11Our engagement ends for good.
00:19:13And you will leave Harper Enterprise.
00:19:16Now.
00:19:17You hear that, Julian?
00:19:19You know, I'll admit it.
00:19:20Yeah, you got the money.
00:19:21But it's not about what you made.
00:19:22It's your family's fucking money.
00:19:23And now you're just a spoiled little trust fund baby who's been fired.
00:19:26So get the fuck out!
00:19:28Get the fuck out?
00:19:31One of us just torpedoed a hundred million dollar loan and a three hundred million dollar deal.
00:19:36Remind me, which one of us should actually get the fuck out?
00:19:39Serena, I think it is actually time to call your grandfather.
00:19:42Probably he could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:47Stop! Stop!
00:19:52This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper!
00:19:56Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:20:00Funny.
00:20:01Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill.
00:20:04Remind me, which one of us is the real boy toy?
00:20:08You.
00:20:18Get the fuck out!
00:20:20Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have.
00:20:23This is Harper Enterprise.
00:20:25I'm the one in charge here.
00:20:28Security, remove him.
00:20:33Julian, please.
00:20:34Don't make us get physical.
00:20:36I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in.
00:20:38You really want to lay hands on me?
00:20:40Chairman Harper?
00:20:42Brought you in?
00:20:43Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:45Who do you think you are?
00:20:47You think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:49Julian, I've already given you more courtesy than you deserve.
00:20:51The more you cling on like this, the more disgusting you become to me.
00:20:57Do it.
00:21:00Looks like I don't need that phone call.
00:21:02Still running your mouth, huh?
00:21:04Move.
00:21:04Get him the fuck out of here.
00:21:10What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:14Stand down!
00:21:15All of you!
00:21:16You!
00:21:17Out of here!
00:21:18Now!
00:21:18Dad?
00:21:19Grandpa?
00:21:20What are you doing here?
00:21:26Julian.
00:21:27I've been filled in on everything that's going on today.
00:21:31I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:36Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:39What?
00:21:39Chairman Harper apologizing to Julian?
00:21:43Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:47Chairman Harper, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games.
00:21:51How could you possibly...
00:21:53Shut up!
00:22:00Serena...
00:22:01How dare you disrespect Julian!
00:22:04Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has.
00:22:06You can't just hit people!
00:22:07I wish we hit him more.
00:22:09Serena, do you even have any idea who Julian Clark is?
00:22:14We didn't tell you everything because of your ego.
00:22:16And I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:22:18We were going to announce everything once the engagement was formally set.
00:22:22But who knew?
00:22:23Serena, you've been blind.
00:22:26Julian is...
00:22:27I promise.
00:22:27You can't force something that isn't there.
00:22:29No real feelings.
00:22:30No need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:33Julian, please, understand.
00:22:35All of this is on us.
00:22:37Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harper family.
00:22:41Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:48Apologize to Julian, now!
00:22:49No!
00:22:50I don't care who you are, Julian.
00:22:53To me, you're still just a spoiled brat who thinks of himself as some sort of genius.
00:22:58But in reality, all you know is playing video games.
00:23:03I see right through you, and I will not apologize to you!
00:23:08Serena, enough!
00:23:10Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:11Let me apologize.
00:23:12Save it.
00:23:14If Serena can't manage an apology herself, then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:21Issue my order.
00:23:23Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:26Cease every protective measure, effective immediately.
00:23:29Julian, please, don't!
00:23:30Without you, this place doesn't survive.
00:23:33Look!
00:23:35Oh!
00:23:36What?
00:23:41Oh, I guess you could have just pulled their orders.
00:23:44What do you mean, hostile takeover?
00:23:46All of my investors pulled out.
00:23:47How can that be?
00:23:53Harper Enterprise stock plunges 30% in minutes, wiping out billions in market value.
00:23:58What? My entire division just stopped!
00:24:00We can't operate like this!
00:24:02A stunning reversal.
00:24:04Harper Enterprise's many allies withdraw their investments in an instant, leaving the group facing massive losses.
00:24:10Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:15Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:16Why did Harper Enterprise suddenly lose power?
00:24:20What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:23How is that possible?
00:24:25Are you attacking the company?
00:24:27No matter who is behind this, I, Serena, will never bow down to you!
00:24:34Harper Enterprise will not yield to any market attacks. Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks!
00:24:39Mr. Harper, this isn't a race! Our major partners are terminating their contracts! And our own liquidity can't cover the
00:24:46gaps!
00:24:47If this continues, the stocks will crash straight through the floor!
00:24:51What did you say?
00:24:53Dammit! How could that trash have such kind of power?
00:24:57Why him? I won't accept this! I won't!
00:24:59Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?
00:25:05Apologize to Julian! No!
00:25:11Serena, apologize.
00:25:15Serena...
00:25:26Serena, do not apologize. Harper Enterprise is worth hundreds of billions of dollars!
00:25:31You really think we can't survive without him?
00:25:33Let's just get through this crisis, and I swear, I will make him pay for everything that he has done
00:25:38to you!
00:25:39Oh, fucking no!
00:25:40Oh!
00:25:42It'll be your fucking fault!
00:25:43You apologize to Julian right now, and get on your n-
00:25:47Dad!
00:25:48Oh!
00:25:49Damien! Damien!
00:25:51Dad, stop!
00:25:52Damien has only ever stood up for me!
00:25:54He is the only one who actually cares about me, and I won't let you treat him like this!
00:25:57Stay out of the way.
00:25:59No!
00:26:00You really gonna go to war with Julian over this snake?
00:26:04Do you even have any idea who he really is?
00:26:07Whoever he is, it doesn't give him the right to just bully people like this!
00:26:10I cannot stand bullies who throw their weight around, and today that is exactly what you look like to me!
00:26:17Serena, that is enough!
00:26:18So wait, you hate bullies who throw their weight around, right?
00:26:21What about this guy? What about him?
00:26:23He hides behind your name to steal other people's work.
00:26:26He throws tea on me in this very room.
00:26:28He squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a hundred thousand dollar watch!
00:26:31Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:34Oh, I...
00:26:36But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:39Yeah, you're no saint.
00:26:41You're just biased.
00:26:43You know, I've been engaged to you for the past six months.
00:26:46I have asked you out 37 times.
00:26:50Yeah, because I thought we should at least get to know each other.
00:26:52Every time I have asked you out, you said,
00:26:54I'm too busy with work.
00:26:56But that wasn't the truth.
00:26:57The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant.
00:27:01Listen to him and sing your praises, right?
00:27:05Who's that?
00:27:07Hell, let me guess.
00:27:08Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:13Just... ignore him.
00:27:14Is he still your fiancé?
00:27:17Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:20I just... I can't stand him.
00:27:23A spoiled heir who thinks the world revolves around him?
00:27:28So what if I did?
00:27:30Who I choose to hang out with is my own choice.
00:27:33We're engaged, not married.
00:27:35I can see whoever I want.
00:27:37Serena, shut up.
00:27:40No, I am not done.
00:27:42Damien has worked himself to the bone.
00:27:44He is driven and disciplined, and when Harper first went public,
00:27:49he was a key reason that we made it.
00:27:51If you had even half his talent, Julian,
00:27:54maybe I would have said yes to you once.
00:27:57But you don't.
00:28:01Damien was a key reason you made it.
00:28:03That's your story, right?
00:28:04What is so funny?
00:28:05I mean, I'm laughing at just how foolish you are.
00:28:09Do you know why, for the past six months,
00:28:12all of your proposals have sailed through?
00:28:14Why every deal that you like happened to have closed?
00:28:17Why every time that you wanted a loan,
00:28:19the banks rolled out a special fast track for you.
00:28:22Because Damien is brilliant.
00:28:23Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way.
00:28:26Damien? Brilliant?
00:28:28That was Julian.
00:28:31Julian is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together.
00:28:35Serena.
00:28:36No, that is impossible.
00:28:39I don't believe it.
00:28:49Hey.
00:28:50Hi's up Serena.
00:28:52In the past six months, I've called in 47 separate connections
00:28:55and cleared a path for you.
00:28:56Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange.
00:28:58And you know, I made you Wall Street's business queen.
00:29:01That's Iron Gate, North Bridge, and even Silver Line.
00:29:04Those are all the top 50 global giants.
00:29:06They've all been backing us behind the scenes?
00:29:09No wonder every project went so smoothly.
00:29:11Julian's the one with this kind of network.
00:29:13Damien's got some nerves stealing cred for something like this.
00:29:16That's a death wish.
00:29:21No, no, no.
00:29:22It's not true, huh?
00:29:23Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me,
00:29:26and my hard work, and my connections.
00:29:28You period fool.
00:29:31Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:40Alright, that's enough.
00:29:43I finally got the all clear for my grandfather.
00:29:45I can go home.
00:29:46So, as of right now, our engagement is terminated.
00:29:49Julian, all of this has been our fault.
00:29:52But the engagement...
00:29:54Let him go.
00:29:55I don't need a fiancé who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:30:01Without my connections and my network,
00:30:04Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:30:06It's going to go right back to where it was six months ago.
00:30:10What?
00:30:11What?
00:30:13Prepare yourselves.
00:30:15Julian.
00:30:15Julian.
00:30:20Serena.
00:30:21You silly, foolish, foolish girl.
00:30:25Grandpa, I have never been clearer.
00:30:28With or without him, I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:31Serena's right.
00:30:32Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper, I'm going to stand by Serena's side, and I'm going to give her everything that I've
00:30:37got.
00:30:38Crap. I'm going to beat the crap out of you once and for all!
00:30:43Dad, that is enough.
00:30:45Dad?
00:30:46Grandpa?
00:30:47I know you have your issues with Damien.
00:30:50But I believe he will prove himself to you.
00:30:53And so will I.
00:30:56I will show everyone here that what Harper achieved over the past six months was my work.
00:31:00It has nothing to do with Julian.
00:31:04This meeting is over.
00:31:06Serena, wait up!
00:31:08You!
00:31:09Tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:17Serena, Serena!
00:31:19Don't even worry about that.
00:31:20I know our Enterprise took a huge hit today, but as long as we lock down Amber Group's Crescent Lake
00:31:24project,
00:31:25change the game, and everyone will still think that we're in control. Easy.
00:31:29The $3 billion Crescent Lake project.
00:31:33If we can win that contract, we can wipe all the problems we've been facing.
00:31:38Damien, you've secured several of Amber Group's projects before, and I'm going to put this one in your hands, too.
00:31:44It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:46No, no, absolutely. You can count on me.
00:31:48Amber Group's Deputy VP of Projects.
00:31:51I mean, you trust me clearly.
00:31:53Who else has been his eyes?
00:32:02Get the Crescent Lake contract ready.
00:32:04Same as always.
00:32:05Once the Harper team arrives, we hand it straight to them.
00:32:09Ms. Lawson, we just got an update. Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise.
00:32:13The engagement is off. Serena fired him and ended it.
00:32:18Are you sure?
00:32:20Absolutely.
00:32:21Word is she listened to her assistant, Damien, who really stirred the pot, and then Serena personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:27Serena really thinks she got where she is because of Damien?
00:32:30That for your little lap dog?
00:32:32Then, do we still hand the Crescent Lake project over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:37Without Julian, Harper Enterprise really thinks it's worthy of Crescent Lake? Not a chance.
00:32:43Open it to public video.
00:32:44Yes, ma'am.
00:32:53Now that is an amazing shot, Mr. Brooks.
00:32:55Damien.
00:32:57Crescent Lake's public bid is coming up soon.
00:33:00How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:15Damien?
00:33:16What does this mean, huh?
00:33:18Mr. Brooks, why don't you do yourself a favor and take a closer look?
00:33:23That's one million in clean crypto, untraceable.
00:33:28Harper Enterprise is totally prepared to take on Crescent Lake.
00:33:32We just need you to give us a little extra attention.
00:33:36Oh my, Damien. You're too kind.
00:33:39Sure, it's a public bidding on paper, but, uh, as long as I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about.
00:33:47Sit tight.
00:33:49Contract's yours.
00:33:52Miss Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway.
00:33:58Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:34:27Well, uh, Prince Julia.
00:34:32I heard Serena kicked you out.
00:34:35Six months of hard work down the drain.
00:34:39What does that feel?
00:34:41Oh, I see.
00:34:42So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit.
00:34:45Is that right?
00:34:46Of course.
00:34:51I'm here to steal you.
00:34:53You see, since your engagement is off,
00:34:58I was thinking, how about you consider me, huh?
00:35:05Guys like us, we don't get to escape alliances.
00:35:08Our families will bear us off either way, so...
00:35:13Why pick a stranger when there's someone who actually knows you?
00:35:19You see?
00:35:20Childhood friends, same circles,
00:35:2515 years of school.
00:35:28We match, you know?
00:35:30We fit.
00:35:33Hang on.
00:35:34Nora, are you saying this because you're drunk, or do you...
00:35:37Shh.
00:35:45I'm not drunk.
00:35:46Good.
00:35:47You don't have to answer me tonight.
00:35:49Just think about it.
00:35:51Hmm?
00:35:55I'm sorry.
00:36:22I told you, I'm not drunk.
00:36:24I'm not drunk.
00:36:25Yes, Ramsey fell off.
00:36:27Oh, shit.
00:36:28I'm drunk.
00:36:32Your swimsuit fell off.
00:36:33Oh, shit.
00:36:34I'm drunk.
00:36:50Miss Lawson, Amber Group's distinguished CEO, allow me the pleasure of introducing myself.
00:36:58Oh, I am so sorry.
00:36:59Bad, bad timing.
00:37:00Truly terrible timing.
00:37:10Don't move.
00:37:11If that jacket sleeps for you in a second, we're finished.
00:37:15Okay, aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:17Amber Group's CEO get caught in a scandal at a pool party?
00:37:20I'm not going to lose tomorrow's company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breast go broke.
00:37:26I'm not going to lose my breast go broke.
00:37:28I'm not going to lose my breast go broke, but I'm not going to lose my breast go broke.
00:37:31But if you stay free to me like this for the rest of the night, I think my heart's going
00:37:39to escape on its chest.
00:37:53And suffer, okay?
00:37:56If you crush me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:38:04Please, please, walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:10Okay.
00:38:23Speak of the devil of all the times.
00:38:31You know, this is a private party for Amber Group's CEO.
00:38:34You know what I lost?
00:38:35Not exactly the kind of place where anybody could just wander into.
00:38:39Oh, wait.
00:38:42Well, well.
00:38:44I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:48Feelings for Serena weren't that deep after all.
00:38:51Can I help you with something?
00:38:53Seriously?
00:38:55This woman's even better than Serena.
00:38:57How does a loser like Julian always get women?
00:38:59I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:39:01Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here, she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:39:08Pouring herself out like this?
00:39:11It's me all take her.
00:39:12Is that so?
00:39:14Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Christmas project.
00:39:22What, you're bidding too?
00:39:23Yeah, I know you've got connection.
00:39:24And that's great, you know, but you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:28Me, I got real talent, all right?
00:39:30And I'm going to win Crescent Lake for Serena.
00:39:32You, you're just going to fucking lose like you lose everything else.
00:39:36Good luck.
00:39:48See that?
00:39:50That is a shameless whore.
00:39:53That woman seems familiar.
00:39:55Samantha, you don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:59All right, come on.
00:40:00Let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:40:01Let's go socialize and maybe we'll run into the host of the party, Lawson herself.
00:40:06And if we do, I'll make sure we're going to go to Gresh.
00:40:27So that pretty boy, Damien, actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:32Tonight, we're going to see who's really on top.
00:40:35Okay.
00:40:36Manners, this is a public event.
00:40:38What?
00:40:40You've known me since we were kids.
00:40:42Why would I pretend around you?
00:40:44But if you like glassy, I can do glassy.
00:40:48Oh, can you?
00:40:49Yeah.
00:40:49You can do glassy?
00:40:50Yeah.
00:40:51Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:59I'll let you get to it.
00:41:03Sally?
00:41:08Julia?
00:41:24I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:26You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:30You know what?
00:41:32Mason Brooks, Amber Group's deputy VP of projects, already agreed to award the contract to Harper
00:41:37Enterprise.
00:41:39You can't win.
00:41:45I hear the Crescent Lake project is basically yours.
00:41:48Congratulations.
00:41:50Serena, you are the business queen of Wall Street.
00:41:52And with Damien backing you up, it's unstoppable.
00:41:55When the two of you take off, don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:58Of course.
00:41:59You know, we're going to take care of you guys.
00:42:00Thank you so much.
00:42:08See that, Julian?
00:42:10Everybody already knows that Crescent Lake belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:42:13I suggest you walk out of here before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:42:16It's funny.
00:42:18You see, my Clark group has deeper capital, better tech, and a stronger global record than
00:42:23Harper Enterprise.
00:42:24So I'm just curious.
00:42:26Why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:28He recognizes Damien's talent, of course.
00:42:35I need to take this.
00:42:43Mind, Julian.
00:42:46What century are you living in?
00:42:48Hmm?
00:42:49You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:52Then what does?
00:42:54Ain't really that fucking stupid?
00:42:56Of course this.
00:42:59I paid Mason Brooks one million in crypto.
00:43:02What do you have that's going to be there?
00:43:06You paid Mason Brooks?
00:43:08That's impossible.
00:43:09He wouldn't dare.
00:43:11That's impossible.
00:43:12He wouldn't dare.
00:43:13Yeah, you want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart.
00:43:16But hey, you're a very lovely, beautiful escort.
00:43:20Why don't you do us all a favor?
00:43:21Get up on that stage and give us a nice little poll show.
00:43:24Hey, hey, I'm going to tell you, you want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:30Because every time I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune, capital technology, it's useless.
00:43:40Fucking trash.
00:43:42Mason Brooks, you've got a lot in there.
00:43:45He's finished.
00:43:47Mr. Brooks is finished.
00:43:49Who the fuck is this?
00:43:51Who are you?
00:43:52What do you think?
00:43:52You're the Amber Group CEO or something?
00:43:55Who gave you the fucking guts?
00:43:57It's adorable, no?
00:43:58Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:44:02Anti-anti-corruption.
00:44:17What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:19Hmm?
00:44:22You hit me.
00:44:24You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:27I'm going to have Mason Brooks crush you with one phone call.
00:44:32There he is.
00:44:33Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:34You're finished.
00:44:37Mr. Brooks.
00:44:38What do you mean my friend?
00:44:40There's a woman here.
00:44:41I said she's going to report to you.
00:44:42Come on, please, teach her a lesson.
00:44:43Oh, report me?
00:44:45Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:47This woman right here.
00:44:51Miss Loss?
00:44:52She's even quoted the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:55Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:57What?
00:44:58What?
00:45:01This can't be?
00:45:05Go ahead, laugh.
00:45:07Laugh some more.
00:45:08Are you insane, Damien?
00:45:09You'll say anything out loud.
00:45:11Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:45:12She's just some gold-dicking whore.
00:45:13I mean, even if she rats you out, who's going to believe this?
00:45:17Why are you kidding me?
00:45:19Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:20When did I ever take your money?
00:45:22I never took one cent.
00:45:24Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:27Idiot!
00:45:28Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:30Miss Losson, this Damien, he's a lunatic.
00:45:34He's making things up.
00:45:35Don't listen to him.
00:45:36I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:40Not once.
00:45:43Miss Losson?
00:45:45No, no, wait.
00:45:47You're Nora Losson, Amber's group CEO?
00:45:50How is that possible?
00:45:51How is that fucking...
00:45:52Mr. Brooks!
00:45:53Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:55Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:59We promise we won't let you down.
00:46:03Stop!
00:46:04Shut the fuck up!
00:46:06When did I ever give you anything?
00:46:09Miss Losson?
00:46:10These Harper Enterprise people, they're all out of their minds.
00:46:14They lie like the wind.
00:46:16I can't believe a word they say.
00:46:19Miss Losson?
00:46:22Miss Losson?
00:46:24She's Nora Losson?
00:46:28The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:30Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:32You can leave now.
00:46:36Miss Losson, I am so sorry.
00:46:39Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being inappropriate.
00:46:46But I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:49He is blunt, yes.
00:46:51But his ability is exceptional.
00:46:55Please, give Harper Enterprise the contract, and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:47:01So, exceptional ability?
00:47:04Are you sure about that?
00:47:05Of course.
00:47:07If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:47:12You're about to find out.
00:47:19Damien?
00:47:21What does she mean?
00:47:22Oh, shit.
00:47:24I can't let her find out I secured every project right.
00:47:27She's upset because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:29So, she wants revenge.
00:47:31So, she's going to embarrass Harper Enterprise in front of everyone.
00:47:34So, what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:36Let's go.
00:47:36Go?
00:47:38If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:42Even if Miss Losson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:46Serena, please!
00:47:47Okay?
00:47:47I'm sorry.
00:47:49There we go now.
00:47:50All right?
00:47:51I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones, but we need to go now.
00:47:53Come on.
00:47:53What is wrong with you today?
00:47:56Are you hiding something from me?
00:47:58I...
00:47:59Shh.
00:48:10You want to understand the rules on top there, sweetheart?
00:48:15Technology capital.
00:48:17Useless fucking trash.
00:48:19What?
00:48:20Shit!
00:48:20She actually recorded it?
00:48:22And escort.
00:48:23So, why don't you do us all a nice little favor?
00:48:25Get up on that stage and give us a nice little whole show.
00:48:31Who is that?
00:48:32He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:36That's Damien Blackwell, Harper Enterprise's executive assistant.
00:48:39How do you not know him?
00:48:40All of the best Amber projects being sent to Harper Enterprises over the past six months,
00:48:44and now we know they were bought.
00:48:49That's not true.
00:48:50All of that's a lie.
00:48:51Just don't...
00:48:51Just don't do that.
00:48:52Just turn it up.
00:48:53Turn it up right now!
00:48:54Stop him!
00:48:56Let go of me!
00:48:59Damien, you did this behind my back?
00:49:01This is your talent?
00:49:03Your ability?
00:49:04Yes, Serena, please just see it.
00:49:06Mr. Brooks' assistant, what a fucking mistake to say.
00:49:10Who are you to say anything?
00:49:12What do you think, your Amber group CEO?
00:49:14Amber.
00:49:16Turn it off, please.
00:49:17Okay, okay.
00:49:18Miss Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:49:20Just, please stop it!
00:49:21Please!
00:49:22Please!
00:49:24Bribery is one thing, but mistaking Miss Lawson for an escort?
00:49:28A whore?
00:49:30He's fucking blind.
00:49:31The best part?
00:49:32He confessed right in front of her that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:36Genius!
00:49:37And Serena trusted him to be her assistant?
00:49:39I mean, what does that say about her judgment?
00:49:42Damien, you have disappointed me beyond words.
00:49:46Serena, I did it because I cared about you.
00:49:48Because I care about Harper Enterprise.
00:49:50Please, I'm...
00:49:50You told me the truth.
00:49:52Enough.
00:49:53Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:55Mason Brooks, you're fired.
00:49:58Effective immediately.
00:50:00I'm done.
00:50:02The Crescent Lake Project.
00:50:05Harper Enterprise is disqualified.
00:50:08Every single project Amber Group has done together with them will be suspended.
00:50:13The projects will be back for competitive bidding.
00:50:17No, no, you can't do that.
00:50:20Those projects are our next three years.
00:50:22They affect thousands of employees, their lives, their future.
00:50:25And why am I the person who hired Trash and called it talent?
00:50:31Real talent.
00:50:38Pathetic.
00:50:43Serena.
00:50:46Please, you gotta let me explain.
00:50:49Miss Lawson, wait.
00:50:50Serena!
00:51:00I just avenged you in front of a lot of people.
00:51:03Asking for our dinner isn't too much, right?
00:51:06Not at all.
00:51:07You pick.
00:51:08My treat.
00:51:09Generous.
00:51:10Let's go.
00:51:11Time to rob the tycoon.
00:51:15Miss Lawson.
00:51:17Damien was wrong to bribe anyone.
00:51:20And I apologize on his behalf.
00:51:23Just please, give Harper Enterprise another chance.
00:51:28I will meet the highest standards.
00:51:30I will deliver a perfect result on every project.
00:51:34Perfect result?
00:51:35And what exactly guarantees that?
00:51:38Your empty suit assistant?
00:51:40Miss Lawson.
00:51:42Damien made a mistake.
00:51:44But his ability is exceptional.
00:51:48For six months, he managed every Harper Enterprise project flawlessly.
00:51:53No errors, no delays.
00:51:54If you don't pull this contract, I guarantee he will make sure you see his value.
00:52:03Managed flawlessly.
00:52:04He's not the only empty suit here.
00:52:07You're too.
00:52:09Miss Lawson, you are crossing a line.
00:52:14I understand that you and Julian are close, and you want to get back at me for him.
00:52:20But humiliating someone like this, isn't that a little cruel?
00:52:23You really think I froze our cooperation because Damien and Bribe Mason?
00:52:28Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:31For six months, Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted from Ember Group.
00:52:37For one reason.
00:52:39Julian Clark.
00:52:41Damien has nothing to do with that.
00:52:45He was just a messenger boy who picked up the contracts.
00:52:48What?
00:52:48When Julian was there, bribe or no bribe, Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:55But now, Julian's gone, so the special treatment is gone.
00:53:00Damien's little ribbing incident?
00:53:03It was just a convenient excuse to take everything back.
00:53:06Understand now?
00:53:11And about those flawless projects.
00:53:14Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly because Damien is brilliant.
00:53:18It ran smoothly because Julian called every partner, every supplier, every gatekeeper, and cleared the path for you.
00:53:27Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:31No.
00:53:34That's not true.
00:53:35I don't believe it.
00:53:36You don't believe me?
00:53:37Then watch.
00:53:39Watch what happens when Julian leaves.
00:53:43Let's see if your exceptional Damien can keep everything perfect when Julian is not there to hold the world together
00:53:50for you.
00:53:52Come on, let's go.
00:54:00Julian, is what she's saying true?
00:54:04You were right about one thing, Serena.
00:54:06Julian and I are closer than you thought.
00:54:09That's why it disgusts me watching him waste his life away on a selfish and blind woman like you.
00:54:20Was I wrong?
00:54:21No, no, no, Serena.
00:54:22Serena, do not listen to her nonsense.
00:54:24Harper's success is based off of my hard work.
00:54:28Okay, Nora Lawson, she's just attacking and slandering my name to defend.
00:54:32Julian, you have to believe me.
00:54:34Please, you have to understand.
00:54:35Because of you, Crescent Lake is gone.
00:54:39Every Amber project is gone.
00:54:41Harper Enterprise is on the edge of collapse and you're asking me to trust you?
00:54:46How?
00:54:47Tell me how.
00:54:49Please, just listen to me.
00:54:51Okay, yeah, we lost Amber group, but we're not finished.
00:54:55I mean, we still have the partners and the CEOs.
00:54:57I mean, they love me.
00:54:57They absolutely love and adore me.
00:55:00I promise.
00:55:01You know what?
00:55:01Matter of fact, I'm going to call and I'm going to get you some new products.
00:55:04Right now.
00:55:08Hello, Mr. Foster.
00:55:10It's Damien here.
00:55:11I hear the Grandview Plaza is taking bids and Harper Enterprise, you know, we would absolutely love.
00:55:17Harper Enterprise?
00:55:18Who the hell is that?
00:55:19Do you think you're even in the same league as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:22Uh, Mr. Foster, what do you mean?
00:55:28Last time we spoke, you said that you believed in the Harper Enterprise and that you would love to work
00:55:32together.
00:55:32Listen up.
00:55:34That's because Julian Clark was in your damn enterprise.
00:55:37I was giving him respect.
00:55:39You don't flatter yourself, bunch of blind dumbasses.
00:55:43Call me again and I'll block your fucking number.
00:55:46So what really was Julian?
00:55:48No, no.
00:55:48That's not possible.
00:55:50I don't believe that.
00:55:52I don't.
00:55:53Hello, Mr. Parker.
00:55:54It's Damien.
00:55:54I was hoping to talk about future collaborations.
00:55:57Damien?
00:55:58You've got the fucking nerve to call me?
00:56:00I gave Harper Enterprise Project because of Mr. Clark.
00:56:04And then you turned around and claimed you closed the deal?
00:56:07Who gave you the audacity?
00:56:10Shameless trash?
00:56:14Miss Parker.
00:56:16Miss Parker.
00:56:17No.
00:56:17No.
00:56:17God damn it!
00:56:19No, I don't believe this.
00:56:21I don't believe this fucking Julian this whole fucking time.
00:56:24God damn it.
00:56:26Sorry.
00:56:27Sorry.
00:56:27Um.
00:56:28Hello?
00:56:29Mr. Turner.
00:56:30It's Damien.
00:56:31Damien?
00:56:31Who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:33Calling me directly?
00:56:35Learn some manners.
00:56:38Julian was polite enough to tolerate you playing sideman with his fiance.
00:56:42I'm not.
00:56:42You bastard too.
00:56:45Mr. Turner?
00:56:47Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:51What the fuck is happening?
00:56:59Miss Harper?
00:57:00This is bad.
00:57:01Our partners are flooding us with messages.
00:57:04They're suspending contracts, pulling out a deal.
00:57:06Wait, what is happening?
00:57:08They said before they only worked with Harper Enterprise because Julian Clark backed us.
00:57:12Now that he's gone, they don't trust us with their project.
00:57:16Julian.
00:57:18It's Julian again.
00:57:23It's true.
00:57:25They only gave us deals because of Julian.
00:57:29Julian!
00:57:30No, no, no, no.
00:57:30Sweeney, please.
00:57:31Okay?
00:57:32They're just saying that because Julian has been paying them off.
00:57:35Think about it.
00:57:35Okay?
00:57:36You know what?
00:57:36Just give me some time and I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:39I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:40I swear.
00:57:41Get away from me!
00:57:44You liar!
00:57:45You fraud, Damien!
00:57:47All those CEOs!
00:57:49They only had you pick up contracts from them.
00:57:52And you told me you negotiated the deals.
00:57:55I swear, I didn't know that they wouldn't.
00:58:00Get out of my sight.
00:58:03Now!
00:58:20Fuck!
00:58:21Damn it!
00:58:22No!
00:58:22I was this close to locking Serena down, stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:26I'm not letting it end like this.
00:58:33Serena, you really thought you were smart.
00:58:37But you're really just pathetic, trash.
00:58:42Without Julian, you're nothing.
00:58:54Dad warned you.
00:58:57Grandpa warned you.
00:58:58And you still wouldn't listen.
00:59:03You ignored everything Julian did and worshipped a con artist like Damien.
00:59:13Stupid.
00:59:21And now, look at you.
00:59:25Projects.
00:59:26Gone.
00:59:28Company collapsing.
00:59:31Idiot.
00:59:33You arrogant.
00:59:34Stupid.
00:59:36Idiot.
00:59:37So stupid.
00:59:44Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:53Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:54Sorry, ma.
00:59:55Sorry, ma.
00:59:58I know I messed up.
01:00:01Oh!
01:00:01I know.
01:00:04Julian.
01:00:06I'm sorry.
01:00:09I know, I know I was wrong.
01:00:11Look here.
01:00:12Always damn Julian!
01:00:15Julian.
01:00:18Come back, okay?
01:00:20Please come back.
01:00:25Okay, I'm back.
01:00:31You don't have to be scared.
01:00:33Harper Enterprises' business will be so much better than those cheap girls.
01:00:38Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprises' mind.
01:00:43Oh, Damien!
01:00:44You sick bastard!
01:00:47You sick bastard!
01:00:51Serena, you really mean it.
01:00:54I love you.
01:00:55You fucking...
01:00:56Get off me.
01:00:57I'm telling you the truth!
01:00:58I mean it!
01:00:59Okay?
01:00:59I promise.
01:01:01I'll treat you well.
01:01:05You fucking monster!
01:01:06Get off me, please!
01:01:09I'm begging you, don't!
01:01:10Say yes.
01:01:12What did I do?
01:01:17I'm not going to die!
01:01:18That's all right, mommy!
01:01:20I tried being nice to you.
01:01:22I fucking tried!
01:01:23But you keep fighting me back!
01:01:24No!
01:01:24No!
01:01:25No!
01:01:26Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:27Keep fucking screaming!
01:01:29All right?
01:01:31You're not going to say no.
01:01:33I'm gonna fuck you.
01:01:34No!
01:01:35No!
01:01:36No!
01:01:37No!
01:01:38Jillian?
01:01:39Jillian, you can help me!
01:01:41Ooh!
01:01:42Oh!
01:01:43Get out of here!
01:01:45Stop!
01:01:45Let me go!
01:01:47Jillian, you know it's where you fucking lights.
01:01:49This isn't over.
01:01:58We are not that close
01:02:02I was just passing through
01:02:04I heard some screaming so I stopped by to check
01:02:06You
01:02:07I want you to call the Harper family
01:02:09Tell them to come pick her up
01:02:10Yes sir
01:02:15I am sorry
01:02:17I know I was wrong
01:02:19I just
01:02:20Please come back
01:02:22Our reservation is in ten minutes
01:02:25Let's go
01:02:34Serena
01:02:35I told you
01:02:37Over and over
01:02:40And over again
01:02:42That Damien was not a good man
01:02:44And you refused to listen
01:02:48And Julian
01:02:49If Julian doesn't come along
01:02:51Just at the right time
01:02:52Oh my god
01:02:55I can't even
01:02:56I can't even think about it
01:02:57If you don't do something about that stubborn pride of yours
01:03:00One day
01:03:02You live to regret it
01:03:04Dad, Grandpa, please
01:03:05Stop
01:03:06I know I was wrong
01:03:10I'll apologize to Julian
01:03:12And I will follow through with the engagement
01:03:18The problem with that is that you may feel that way
01:03:21But Julian might not
01:03:23Grandpa
01:03:25Don't worry
01:03:27I will apologize properly
01:03:30And I will earn his forgiveness
01:03:33That's all we can do
01:03:36So John
01:03:38Put out a citywide bolo
01:03:39On that
01:03:41Bastard Damien
01:03:42He put his hands on my granddaughter
01:03:46We're not letting that go
01:03:47No
01:03:49No
01:03:49We're not
01:03:50Understood
01:03:51Understood
01:03:57No
01:04:22Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:29What is this supposed to be?
01:04:31A gift for you.
01:04:33Myself.
01:04:35I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:38Amber Group backs you up.
01:04:40No questions asked.
01:04:41But first, you have to accept the gift properly.
01:04:56Hey, can you not do that?
01:04:59You're making this incredibly awkward.
01:05:02You know a woman like me shows up a gift wrapped and any man would have, you know,
01:05:08housed me by now.
01:05:10Don't tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:05:13Hung up?
01:05:15Why would I be hung up on Serena?
01:05:17She and I were never romantic.
01:05:20No, it's just a business marriage between two families.
01:05:24Things are moving too fast.
01:05:26The other thing twice.
01:05:28But I don't have time.
01:05:30My family is preparing to send me off into a European alliance.
01:05:35Some all-money perfect match they can show off at Wallace.
01:05:40Wait, what are you talking about? Are you serious?
01:05:42Yes, Julian.
01:05:44My uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of me permanently.
01:05:49But I don't want a stranger. I want you. I love you.
01:05:54Julian, let's make it official. Let's get married.
01:06:03You know, if you'll marry me, my family won't dare object.
01:06:09Please, Julian.
01:06:21Okay.
01:06:23I'll marry you.
01:06:24Are you serious?
01:06:27No take-backs.
01:06:28No take-backs.
01:06:29No take-backs.
01:06:29Ever.
01:06:29Ever.
01:06:30I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:33But can you help me out?
01:06:36Um, my hands aren't getting hurt.
01:06:40So impatient.
01:06:44It's like you said, if I accept the gift, then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:56Then be gentle.
01:07:05Julian, you didn't forget what you promised last night, right?
01:07:11Uh, no.
01:07:12Because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:07:14Of course I remember that.
01:07:16You know, when someone wraps themselves as a gift, you kind of remember that for the rest of your life.
01:07:21You know that?
01:07:23Those are just tiny details.
01:07:27Look like big details to me.
01:07:31Julian.
01:07:33Can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:36Serena, I really don't think there's anything we need to discuss.
01:07:39Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:40I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:42I misjudged everything.
01:07:44Please, just give me one more chance and I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:48And if you take me back, just tell me what you want.
01:07:51I'll do anything.
01:07:52I'm sorry.
01:07:53I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:58Boyfriend?
01:08:05Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:08:08Well, Julian hates them too.
01:08:10And yet you stayed at Harper Enterprise for six full months.
01:08:14He asked you out 37 times.
01:08:17So tell me, what exactly are you proud of?
01:08:20Hmm?
01:08:22Men like him?
01:08:24If you treat him like trash, someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:08:29Listen carefully.
01:08:30We are all together now, so better keep your distance.
01:08:34If you don't, I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:40Come on.
01:08:41We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:43Let's not be late.
01:08:45Wedding outfits.
01:08:48Let's go.
01:08:54Let's go.
01:08:55Mm-hmm.
01:09:03So how did it go?
01:09:05Julian?
01:09:06He's with Nora.
01:09:12Nora.
01:09:13Nora.
01:09:14Nora Lawson.
01:09:15CEO of Amber Group.
01:09:17Of course.
01:09:18You know, Serena, it's an elite like Julian.
01:09:22The second you let go, somebody comes and grabs him.
01:09:26You don't get another chance.
01:09:28God gave our family a chance.
01:09:30God gave our family a chance.
01:09:30And we blew it.
01:09:33God, forgive the Harpers.
01:09:35Please.
01:09:37Ms. Hopper, finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:41Hopper Enterprises' cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:44If we don't act immediately, we won't even have enough to make payroll this month.
01:09:50Great.
01:09:50Please.
01:09:51Now all of Wall Street knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:55That was gonna lend to us now.
01:09:57How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:59This is my fault.
01:10:00Okay?
01:10:01I was blind.
01:10:02Are you proud now?
01:10:05I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:10:09I didn't realize that Julian was running everything.
01:10:13And the moment he's gone, I can't do anything.
01:10:17Dad.
01:10:19Grandpa.
01:10:20I'm so sorry.
01:10:21I ruined Harper Enterprise.
01:10:24I ruined everything.
01:10:26Dad.
01:10:27You're the one who arranged the engagement with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:31So maybe you should go talk to him.
01:10:34And see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:36Yes, Grandpa.
01:10:38Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:41If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:44Lark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:47Yes.
01:10:48They honored our engagement.
01:10:51And that was a mercy.
01:10:53That was a blessing.
01:10:54But you threw it away.
01:10:59Still.
01:11:01For your sake and for your future.
01:11:03And for our future.
01:11:06We'll fight.
01:11:13Serena.
01:11:14When you see Julian's grandfather,
01:11:17your apology has to be sincere.
01:11:20If he forgives you, only then will you know that you have a chance to get Julian back.
01:11:29Understood, Grandpa.
01:11:31For the Harper family, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:48Welcome.
01:11:50You must be here for Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:54Perfect timing.
01:11:56They're just about to start.
01:11:58Engagement party?
01:12:00So they're really engaged?
01:12:03Wait, how is this all happening so fast?
01:12:07What is this supposed to mean?
01:12:09Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson have known each other since they were born,
01:12:13and everyone is so happy that they're finally getting married.
01:12:16Oh, oh, I see.
01:12:19You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:12:22Then, please leave.
01:12:25Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:12:32If there's an engagement party,
01:12:35that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:40And that means we're done.
01:12:44There's no more chances left.
01:12:46We're leaving.
01:12:48Is this my punishment?
01:12:52All right, everyone.
01:12:54Big smiles.
01:12:57Big smiles.
01:12:59Big smiles.
01:13:06Big smiles.
01:13:08Big smiles.
01:13:11Big smiles.
01:13:11Oh, yeah.
01:13:12Are you okay?
01:13:13Hey.
01:13:18What is it?
01:13:21It's nothing.
01:13:22Come on, dinner's almost ready.
01:13:37Dad.
01:13:38The Harpers.
01:13:40My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:45For a young one.
01:13:47It was six months at Harper Enterprise.
01:13:50It was a total humiliation.
01:13:53We've shown the Harper more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:59Understood, Dad.
01:14:08Okay, enough, Serena.
01:14:10Stop.
01:14:10You can't drink this away.
01:14:13Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:14:15If you don't get up, it's over.
01:14:19Just leave me the fuck alone.
01:14:21Okay?
01:14:22Just let me drink.
01:14:23I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:14:25I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:14:27No, you...
01:14:30All right, I've got to take this.
01:14:32Don't move.
01:14:33I'll be right back, and then...
01:14:35I am taking you home.
01:14:37Hello?
01:14:41No.
01:14:45Nora.
01:14:48Okay, Nora.
01:14:49Be honest.
01:14:51You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:53You just got engaged, and you're getting married next week?
01:14:57Let's see.
01:14:58You've known Julian for 20-plus years.
01:15:02You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:15:03I've liked Julian for 20 years, and I finally got him to say yes.
01:15:08You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:15:10Lock it down from what?
01:15:11From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:15:13They're collapsing and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:15:18I have to move fast.
01:15:19If they start begging, what if Julian hesitates?
01:15:25But Julian and Serena were forced into that.
01:15:28There's no real love.
01:15:30Why will Julian hesitate?
01:15:31What are you afraid of?
01:15:33You don't get it.
01:15:35Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months,
01:15:38and it wasn't just because his grandfather would do it.
01:15:41Then why?
01:15:44Because Serena is his type.
01:15:48Wait, what?
01:15:52I am Julian's type?
01:15:56No way!
01:15:57I'm serious.
01:15:59The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:16:01That exact time.
01:16:03I mean, with his personality, even if his grandfather forced him,
01:16:08he would have stayed there for three days max and then vanished.
01:16:11He would not stay there and take six months of humiliation if he didn't want it.
01:16:17That's Julian Clark.
01:16:20So that's why?
01:16:21Serena must have destroyed him.
01:16:23I have to get married fast.
01:16:26I cannot give her a single chance.
01:16:29So that's what it was.
01:16:31Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months because I'm his type.
01:16:35He likes me.
01:16:36That means I still have a chance.
01:16:38I still have a chance.
01:16:40This is my last shot.
01:16:42I am not wasting it.
01:16:50Where is she?
01:16:57Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:17:14Wow.
01:17:15They look perfect together.
01:17:17They're childhood sweethearts.
01:17:19The whole fantasy.
01:17:19Oh, my God.
01:17:20Brilliant.
01:17:23And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:38Wait!
01:17:44Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:48Who is that?
01:17:50Who is that?
01:17:50Who is that?
01:17:50Is that Serena Harper?
01:17:51CEO of Harper Enterprise?
01:17:53You mean the woman who rode on Julian's back to the IPO and then kicked him out like he was
01:17:57nothing?
01:17:58Without Julian, Harper Enterprise is basically bankrupt.
01:18:02Pathetic.
01:18:03Wait!
01:18:05Serena, what are you doing here?
01:18:10Julian.
01:18:11I know you like me.
01:18:13You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months humiliated if you didn't.
01:18:22I know.
01:18:23I was wrong.
01:18:24Totally wrong.
01:18:25Okay?
01:18:26Just please.
01:18:27Give me another chance.
01:18:31Our engagement is over.
01:18:34In fact, you were the one that called it off.
01:18:37Look, this is my wedding.
01:18:38Have some dignity.
01:18:40In fact, can we get her out of here?
01:18:41Please?
01:18:42No, please.
01:18:43I'll do anything.
01:18:45Just...
01:18:50I know.
01:18:51You hate me.
01:18:52Because I rejected you 37 times.
01:18:55But I'll make it up to you.
01:18:58I'll chase you 37 times.
01:19:00370 times.
01:19:01Whatever it did.
01:19:03Can we please get her out?
01:19:04Oh, don't touch me!
01:19:06Julian.
01:19:07What do you want from me?
01:19:08I know you like me.
01:19:10So...
01:19:10So why won't you give me another chance?
01:19:12Why?
01:19:17Simple question.
01:19:19Do you love me?
01:19:23I...
01:19:23Exactly.
01:19:24You don't.
01:19:25You didn't realize you made a mistake.
01:19:27You realize that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:19:30See, what you want is not a chance, but a tool.
01:19:34You want me back so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:39No.
01:19:40That...
01:19:41That's not true.
01:19:43Just please.
01:19:45Listen.
01:19:46Please, listen.
01:19:46Enough.
01:19:47Serena.
01:19:48When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise, do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:53Let me ask you this.
01:19:55If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed, if your value kept climbing, would you still be here standing in front of
01:20:00me today?
01:20:04I...
01:20:04I...
01:20:04No, I...
01:20:05No, you wouldn't.
01:20:06You absolutely wouldn't.
01:20:07You'd be celebrating.
01:20:09You'd say that you earned the business queen a crown.
01:20:11You'd be mocking me, calling me pathetic.
01:20:14You'd say that firing me was the best decision you ever made.
01:20:16Plus, you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:20:19No.
01:20:20No, Trina.
01:20:22That's not me.
01:20:24Just admit it, Serena.
01:20:26You don't feel anything for me.
01:20:27But on my wedding day, you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:20:31Why?
01:20:32Because you want me back as your lifeline.
01:20:34Your donor.
01:20:35Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:38But the moment I stop being useful, you will kick me away again without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:43No.
01:20:45Oh, Julian.
01:20:47That is not true.
01:20:48The night that you saved me from Damien, I...
01:20:54I felt something for you!
01:20:55I did!
01:20:56Stop!
01:20:57Do not perform at my wedding.
01:20:59You don't regret hurting me.
01:21:01You regret choosing the wrong man.
01:21:03You regret that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:21:06You know, I'll admit, when I met you, you were exactly my type.
01:21:12But once I got to know you, once I realized what you really are, all I felt was disgust.
01:21:19But Nora?
01:21:22She has cared for me since we were kids.
01:21:27When I was sick, she stayed up all night taking care of me.
01:21:32When I was at my lowest, she pulled me back up.
01:21:35Even when I went back to Harper Enterprise on the engagement, she still supported me.
01:21:41She still took hits from me.
01:21:46So, let me ask you, why would I give up all of that for you?
01:21:53What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:57I...
01:21:59I...
01:21:59I...
01:22:00I...
01:22:00Get her out.
01:22:01No, no.
01:22:02No, please don't, Julian.
01:22:04Don't, don't, don't.
01:22:05I...
01:22:05I'm begging you, just please let me explain!
01:22:08Please!
01:22:09Please, let me, please stop, let me go!
01:22:12Julian, please don't do it!
01:22:13Crashing a wedding like that?
01:22:15I thought she actually loved him.
01:22:17Turns out, she just realized, without Julian, she can't stay on top.
01:22:21She used Julian's feelings like a weapon.
01:22:24Totally vampire-drained him dry.
01:22:56Mr. Clark!
01:22:58Mr. Clark!
01:23:15I'm sure you've all heard.
01:23:17Harper Enterprise, affected today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary, so...
01:23:22we're all being terminated.
01:23:24Are you...
01:23:24What?
01:23:26Mr. Clark!
01:23:27That's too much!
01:23:28I've given this company 15 years!
01:23:31You can't just walk in and fire everyone!
01:23:3315 years, wow.
01:23:35Congratulations.
01:23:36You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:42You know, I've been watching you guys for about 6 months now.
01:23:45I've seen how you all work.
01:23:48Bribes.
01:23:49Embezzlement.
01:23:52Kickbacks.
01:23:54Fraud.
01:23:56Every one of you does a file.
01:23:58So, we're gonna be passing out some resignation, uh, terms.
01:24:02And, uh, once you sign them, hand over your badges, or you're getting a rotten joke.
01:24:09This...
01:24:10This is it!
01:24:25Are you satisfied now?
01:24:28Satisfied?
01:24:30Thomas went to my grandfather.
01:24:32He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:24:36I saved you.
01:24:40Julian!
01:24:43If I...
01:24:44Didn't treat you the way I did, would any of this be different?
01:24:56Julian, right now get thrown away and still land something better.
01:24:59I spent my whole life climbing upwards, and now I'm stuck at the bottom.
01:25:03Hunted by cops.
01:25:04I won't accept it.
01:25:06Julian, watch out!
01:25:08Julian!
01:25:12Let me go!
01:25:13Fucking let me go!
01:25:14I already spared you.
01:25:16You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:25:18You know what?
01:25:19You know what?
01:25:19Take him to the police.
01:25:19Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:25:21I want him to ride in jail.
01:25:22Fuck the coward!
01:25:23You're a fucking coward!
01:25:24Hiding behind your goddamn family's money!
01:25:26No!
01:25:26No, fight me!
01:25:27101!
01:25:28101!
01:25:28Let the guards go!
01:25:29You don't have the fucking guts to you!
01:25:35Hey, Julian.
01:25:36What was that?
01:25:38Just taking out the trash.
01:25:41Are you done here?
01:25:43No.
01:25:44Let's go.
01:25:51I was wrong!
01:25:54Julian, I was wrong!
