00:00:01Breaking news. Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack.
00:00:06In the past hour alone, the conglomerate has lost over a billion dollars in ARK's situation.
00:00:11Don't be up here on drowning. I just drowned you.
00:00:14Don't be up here on drowning. I just drowned you.
00:00:16Don't be up here on drowning. I just drowned you.
00:00:21No, you have to...
00:00:22I need you to buy the stock, alright?
00:00:24You gotta do it now.
00:00:26This isn't some random dip. Whoever's shorting us came prepared.
00:00:29They're tearing us apart. We can't hold the line.
00:00:31We're about to become the laughing stock of Wall Street.
00:00:33No, no, we're not finished.
00:00:36We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:41The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:46Julian, we need you. Again.
00:00:49Shit. Shit.
00:00:53Give me a sec.
00:00:58Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:01Good, good, yeah.
00:01:03I just need to ask for a little favor.
00:01:10Julian, you saved my ass last time. I owe you.
00:01:13I'm moving liquidity to Harper now.
00:01:17Great.
00:01:21The stock price is recovering.
00:01:24How is that possible?
00:01:25Did Mr. Clark just fix this with a few calls?
00:01:28Julian, what would Harper do without you?
00:01:31Julian, Damien's assistant called.
00:01:34Called in all hands.
00:01:35All department leads.
00:01:36Conference room in 10 minutes.
00:01:38Chairman's orders.
00:01:39Why will Damien call in the meeting?
00:01:41He despises you.
00:01:43Watch your back.
00:01:44Let's go.
00:01:49Let's go.
00:02:03Let's go.
00:02:12Today, Damien successfully neutralized the short attack against Harper and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:18Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:27Since when does Damien know how to take over from a hole in the ground?
00:02:30He must have stole the swing from someone else.
00:02:32Remember what he did to Anthony from investments?
00:02:35Damien took credit for his deal.
00:02:37Anthony pushed back and Damien used this pool with Serena to get him fired.
00:02:45Hello? Is there a problem?
00:02:49Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the fire.
00:02:52The least that every single one of you can do.
00:02:53Damien.
00:02:56Of course.
00:02:58Questions.
00:03:00I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:08Julian.
00:03:09Our company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:13Keep sharing. I'm listening.
00:03:18This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:22Wait, I'm sorry everyone.
00:03:24I forgot.
00:03:27You're just the resident good for nothing.
00:03:28My strategies, you probably couldn't comprehend them, let alone ask a decent goddamn question.
00:03:37Well, since you're so keen on getting my contribution, we'll start with a question.
00:03:42Which funds were behind the short attack?
00:03:44And what was their distinct objective?
00:03:46And what specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:48Doesn't matter.
00:03:49What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:51You can't even name your enemy?
00:03:53Alright, fine.
00:03:54Next question.
00:03:55Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights?
00:03:57And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:00Well...
00:04:03Well...
00:04:05Well...
00:04:06Well...
00:04:06Well...
00:04:06Well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:09Alright.
00:04:10So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room,
00:04:13the countermeasures for a potential proxy fight,
00:04:15or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:21Let's be real.
00:04:23You are nothing but a glory hound who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees for real.
00:04:37You, a useless, game-addicted fucking loser, dare to question me?
00:04:42You know what, Clark?
00:04:44You're fucking fired!
00:04:45Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:57You hear that, Dad?
00:04:59I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:03Understood.
00:05:05Now, hearing's not enough.
00:05:06I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company.
00:05:08Now.
00:05:13You took our family's market cap and raised it to three trillion dollars.
00:05:19You've proven everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:21Now, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:24Harper's, uh, old friends, good staff, you know?
00:05:29Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper.
00:05:32What you're talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:34Feelings could grow, brat.
00:05:36Our families go way better.
00:05:38Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:40My life, my choice.
00:05:42Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that-
00:05:45Enough!
00:05:46Oh, that's it.
00:05:47You're going to do this.
00:05:48I've already arranged everything.
00:05:50You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:52Go work with Serena.
00:05:55And date her properly, hmm?
00:05:59You'll refuse.
00:06:02Okay.
00:06:03Nurse, Doctor, I'm checking out.
00:06:05My own grandson won't listen.
00:06:06What's the point?
00:06:07Okay.
00:06:07Let the heart attack take me now.
00:06:09Okay, all right.
00:06:10I'll go.
00:06:12I know when I pass, okay?
00:06:15For years, you've carried this family on your back.
00:06:18We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:21The Harpers, they're in trouble.
00:06:23We do not abandon our own.
00:06:26Use that brilliant head of yours.
00:06:29And help them.
00:06:31Please, for me.
00:06:33Fine.
00:06:35I'll do it.
00:06:37I hear you.
00:06:45For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked.
00:06:48Using every resource, every contact to help her.
00:06:50I pulled Harper Enterprise from the brink of bankruptcy and made it soar.
00:06:54I made Serena Harper the queen of this city's business world.
00:06:57And for what?
00:06:58So she could give my triumphs and victories to that sycophant Damien?
00:07:03It's time to come home.
00:07:10You asked for my opinion and you couldn't handle it.
00:07:13So...
00:07:14Pathetic.
00:07:15I said you're fired.
00:07:16Get your shit and get the fuck out of my door.
00:07:18I heard you.
00:07:20I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay and then I'm gone.
00:07:23I said now!
00:07:24Or I'm gonna call security and you're gonna drag your ass out.
00:07:27Suit yourself.
00:07:29Julian, this is Harper Enterprise.
00:07:32Not your family's playground.
00:07:33Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:36You will leave.
00:07:37Now, do not disrupt this company any further.
00:07:41Serena, is that really the best play you want to make here?
00:07:43I will not repeat it.
00:07:45And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:47You know what, Serena?
00:07:48Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:56You don't push your luck, Clark.
00:07:58The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the first place
00:08:01is because of your dusty fucking engagement to Serena.
00:08:03And you have the audacity to act all high and mighty?
00:08:06You're fucking nothing.
00:08:08You're a little trust fund, entitled piece of shit baby.
00:08:11I mean, even your old Beyoncé is telling you to get lost.
00:08:14So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost
00:08:17before I fucking...
00:08:18What?
00:08:26You're broke.
00:08:28You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole?
00:08:30A hundred thousand dollars!
00:08:34We lost your balance.
00:08:36Maybe work on your question.
00:08:37Julian, that is enough.
00:08:39Disrupting proceedings.
00:08:41Assault.
00:08:42Destruction of property.
00:08:43As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:47Effective immediately.
00:08:48Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:51Serena, he broke my watch.
00:08:52The gift you got me for my birthday.
00:08:54He has to pay for it.
00:08:55Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:08:56Either pay up, or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:03Fine.
00:09:05I'll pay.
00:09:06Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:08What one hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:09It's a million.
00:09:11A million for that.
00:09:12It's a gift from Serena.
00:09:13It's priceless.
00:09:14A million dollars being generous.
00:09:16You can fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:18A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:20He does have a point card.
00:09:22You break it, you buy it.
00:09:24That's the rule.
00:09:25Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:32Well, you gonna wire me the money?
00:09:35Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:37And if so, you can crawl out of here,
00:09:40and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:43So what if you're Serena's fiancé?
00:09:47Look at her now.
00:09:48She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:51A million dollars.
00:09:53That's the final offer?
00:09:55What do you mean?
00:10:00Hi.
00:10:00I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room
00:10:03at Harper headquarters.
00:10:13I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room
00:10:17at Harper headquarters.
00:10:21You just called for a million dollars in cash,
00:10:23like a stakeout?
00:10:24What's next?
00:10:25A private army?
00:10:27All right, Julian.
00:10:27The charade ends now.
00:10:28Leave the company, and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:31But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:34We are done.
00:10:36You sure?
00:10:37Whoa, whoa.
00:10:38You heard that, Julian?
00:10:39Your engagement's over.
00:10:40Now get out before I throw you-
00:10:42Get your hands off me!
00:10:46You put your fucking hands on me.
00:10:49You know what?
00:10:50I'm gonna wipe that smug fucking look off your face!
00:10:56Enough!
00:11:01Mr. Brooks!
00:11:04That's David Brooks.
00:11:06President of Harvey View Bank.
00:11:07What's a Wall Street titan doing an accomplishment?
00:11:09Do you think it has to do with the hundred million loan?
00:11:11It can't be.
00:11:12That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:17Mr. Clark.
00:11:18The one million.
00:11:20As requested.
00:11:21Do I have to?
00:11:40Okay.
00:11:40What?!
00:11:41What?!
00:11:43Mr. Brooks!
00:11:45Personally delivering cash?
00:11:46To Julian?!
00:11:47Wait, the-the money's-it's real?
00:11:52Delivered by Mr. Brooks? I mean, wait, who are you?
00:11:57Much appreciated. You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:07Mr. Brooks, sir, we are so honored by your visit.
00:12:11My grandfather, he speaks of you often.
00:12:13I'm sure he'd love to get a round of golf scheduled with me sometime.
00:12:18Mr. Clark.
00:12:20Is there anything else you require?
00:12:21My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:24No, thank you. You can go down.
00:12:25Of course.
00:12:33A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting?
00:12:38Unprofessional.
00:12:39I'm suspending the $100 million deal.
00:12:42We'll reassess when there's adult supervision.
00:12:45Yes, sir.
00:12:46Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:50Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:52Let's see him explain this to the chairman.
00:12:54The chairman will have his head.
00:12:56This is all your fault, all right?
00:12:58You got to fix this.
00:12:59You call him back here and get that loan reinstated,
00:13:01or I swear I'm going to...
00:13:02You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:05As for us...
00:13:09$1 million.
00:13:10In full.
00:13:11Which makes this watch...
00:13:16It's mine.
00:13:18You arrogant son of a bitch!
00:13:24I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it?
00:13:26I bet you ought to sell your house to scrape this together, you fucking loser.
00:13:33But it's all mine now.
00:13:35Yeah, sure.
00:13:36The debt for the watch is settled.
00:13:37But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:40That useless piece of junk, how much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:42Oh.
00:13:43I don't know.
00:13:44Maybe about...
00:13:46$100 million?
00:13:48$100 million!
00:13:52For a laptop?
00:13:53Have you lost your mind?
00:13:56$100 million.
00:13:57For a laptop.
00:13:59Julian.
00:14:00The law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:03What you're committing is extortion.
00:14:05That's illegal.
00:14:06So, him extorting me for a million was legal then, right?
00:14:09By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago?
00:14:12Huh?
00:14:13Ask conservatives.
00:14:14Enough!
00:14:15Julian.
00:14:17You know, I know you think you're right,
00:14:19but a stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars.
00:14:23A hundred million dollars?
00:14:25I...
00:14:26Dream on.
00:14:27Sure, a standard stellar isn't worth that much,
00:14:29but this isn't a standard, is it?
00:14:31What is it made of gold?
00:14:32Even then, it still wouldn't cost a hundred million fucking dollars.
00:14:36You know what?
00:14:37You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:46Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:48That's Bill Sullivan.
00:14:49SVP for stellar.
00:14:50Here?
00:14:51You think it's about the $300 million partnership deal?
00:14:54$300 million?
00:14:55That's huge for us, but pocket change for Stella.
00:14:58Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:00Mr. Sullivan.
00:15:02Uh, what an unexpected honor.
00:15:04I'm Serena Harper, CEO.
00:15:06What do we owe the...
00:15:07Mr. Clark,
00:15:09the security have detected an urgent impact alert from your device,
00:15:12and the signal originated here.
00:15:14We were concerned for your safety and came immediately.
00:15:16Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian, too?
00:15:18Because his laptop impact triggered an alarm.
00:15:21Unbelievable.
00:15:23Mr. Clark, are you all right?
00:15:24Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:25It just took a fall.
00:15:28God.
00:15:29This damage is significant.
00:15:31With the custom components,
00:15:33preliminary repair estimate,
00:15:35this could be $30 million.
00:15:39$30 million?
00:15:40No, no, no, no, no.
00:15:41To fix a fucking laptop?
00:15:43That's impossible.
00:15:44There's no way.
00:15:45Are you questioning me?
00:15:46No, I just...
00:15:47Well, open your eyes.
00:15:48This is a one-off laptop
00:15:49with Stella's quantum processors
00:15:51and proprietary components.
00:15:53You better pray
00:15:54that those data partitions are intact
00:15:56or that compensation will ruin you.
00:15:57I've just had the critical,
00:15:59critical data corruption here.
00:16:01It's highly confidential files,
00:16:03high market value.
00:16:05I mean, with our declarations,
00:16:06this is at least $70 million.
00:16:11That's $70 million?
00:16:12Mr. Clark has the data on his laptop
00:16:15registered with monetary values
00:16:17to the security division.
00:16:18All damages to our fullest extent.
00:16:21Here.
00:16:23Receipts for the hardware
00:16:24and the notarized value declarations
00:16:26for the data.
00:16:27See for yourself.
00:16:36Who cares about $100 million laptop?
00:16:43Who exactly are you?
00:16:44You don't get to know.
00:16:47In fact, can we stay on topic
00:16:48about my compensation?
00:16:49There's no way that there's
00:16:50a fucking laptop
00:16:51that cost $100 million.
00:16:53You know what?
00:16:53This is a fucking scam.
00:16:54These two, they're working together.
00:16:56I'm telling you, it's a con.
00:16:57Are you serious?
00:16:59I'm Blake Sullivan.
00:17:00I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:02I don't fly across the city
00:17:03a scam and nobody like you.
00:17:05Listen, I'm so...
00:17:06This Harper,
00:17:08this is the employee you hire.
00:17:10He's a fool.
00:17:10And it speaks volumes
00:17:12about your company's judgment.
00:17:14Oh, by the way,
00:17:15our partnership deal?
00:17:16Consider it terminated.
00:17:18What?
00:17:19Um, Mr. Sullivan, please.
00:17:21Damien is just...
00:17:23He's stressy.
00:17:24He didn't mean...
00:17:25Save it.
00:17:26You take care of
00:17:27Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:29You, if you dispute evaluations,
00:17:31we can settle it in court.
00:17:32My legal team has 965 lawyers.
00:17:36I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:40Stiller's legal team is legendary.
00:17:43He never lost.
00:17:44Damien can't fight this.
00:17:46Hell, the entire Harper Enterprise
00:17:47doesn't have the resources
00:17:49to fight this.
00:17:50He's done for.
00:17:53So, may I go down?
00:17:54Please.
00:17:59Please.
00:18:02Mr. Sullivan,
00:18:04Harper Enterprise will
00:18:05provide full compensation.
00:18:07Will that suffice?
00:18:08I'm just here to certify facts.
00:18:11You need to discuss details
00:18:12with the laptop owner.
00:18:15Full payment
00:18:16in my account
00:18:18within three days.
00:18:20In that case,
00:18:21we're done here.
00:18:23Mr. Clark,
00:18:23you call me with anything else.
00:18:26Mr. Sullivan,
00:18:28Mr. Harper,
00:18:29get your house in order first.
00:18:31Stellar has standards.
00:18:33We don't partner
00:18:33with clown shows.
00:18:35That'll be all.
00:18:36Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:37Oh, funny.
00:18:39Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:40A hundred million on the line
00:18:42and you swoop in
00:18:43to cover for him.
00:18:44You know,
00:18:44I just hope that your father
00:18:45and your grandfather
00:18:46are as generous as you are.
00:18:49Whether her father
00:18:50or Chairman Harper
00:18:51approve is none of your
00:18:52goddamn business!
00:18:53We don't need someone
00:18:54like you worrying about it!
00:18:56He's right.
00:18:58Julian,
00:18:59I give you my word.
00:19:00The full amount
00:19:00will be paid within three days,
00:19:02but under one condition.
00:19:03Our engagement
00:19:05ends for good
00:19:06and you
00:19:07will leave Harper Enterprise
00:19:09now.
00:19:10You hear that, Julian?
00:19:12You know,
00:19:12I'll admit it.
00:19:13Yeah, you got the money,
00:19:13but it's not about
00:19:14what you made.
00:19:15It's your family's fucking money
00:19:16and now you're just
00:19:16a spoiled little trust fund baby
00:19:18who's been fired.
00:19:19So get the fuck out!
00:19:21Get the fuck out?
00:19:23One of us
00:19:24just torpedoed
00:19:25a hundred million dollar loan
00:19:27and a three hundred million dollar deal.
00:19:28Remind me,
00:19:29which one of us
00:19:30should actually
00:19:30get the fuck out?
00:19:32Serena,
00:19:33I think it is actually
00:19:33time to call your grandfather.
00:19:35He could definitely
00:19:35settle all of this.
00:19:39Stop.
00:19:40Stop!
00:19:45This boy toy
00:19:46thinks he has
00:19:47the fucking right
00:19:47to call Chairman Harper.
00:19:49Who gives you
00:19:49the goddamn right?
00:19:52Funny.
00:19:53Guy hides behind
00:19:54a woman to pay his bill.
00:19:55Remind me,
00:19:56which one of us
00:19:57is the real boy toy?
00:20:00You.
00:20:10Get the fuck out!
00:20:12Julian,
00:20:13I don't care what kind of
00:20:13connections you think you have.
00:20:15This is Harper Enterprise.
00:20:18I'm the one
00:20:18in charge here.
00:20:21Security,
00:20:21remove him.
00:20:25Julian,
00:20:26please,
00:20:26don't make us
00:20:27get physical.
00:20:28I'm the one
00:20:28Chairman Harper
00:20:29personally brought in.
00:20:30You really want
00:20:30to lay hands on me?
00:20:31Ha ha ha!
00:20:32Chairman Harper?
00:20:34Brought you in?
00:20:35Julian,
00:20:35have you lost
00:20:35your fucking mind?
00:20:37Who do you think
00:20:38you are?
00:20:39You think
00:20:39you're fucking
00:20:40worth it?
00:20:41Julian,
00:20:41I've already
00:20:42given you more courtesy
00:20:43than you deserve.
00:20:43The more you cling on
00:20:44like this,
00:20:45the more disgusting
00:20:46you become to me.
00:20:49Do it.
00:20:52Looks like
00:20:53I don't need
00:20:53that phone call.
00:20:54Still running
00:20:54your mouth, huh?
00:20:56Luke,
00:20:56get me the fuck out of here.
00:21:02What the hell
00:21:03is going on in here?
00:21:06Stand down!
00:21:07All of you!
00:21:08You,
00:21:09out of here.
00:21:10Now!
00:21:10Dad,
00:21:11Grandpa,
00:21:11what are you doing
00:21:13here?
00:21:18Julian,
00:21:19I've been
00:21:20filled in
00:21:20on everything
00:21:21that's going
00:21:22on today.
00:21:23I know
00:21:24that you've
00:21:24been wronged
00:21:25by this guy.
00:21:28Please
00:21:28accept my
00:21:29apology
00:21:29for everything.
00:21:31Chairman Harper
00:21:33apologizing
00:21:34to Julian?
00:21:35Grandpa,
00:21:36what are you
00:21:37doing?
00:21:39Chairman Harper,
00:21:40he's a loser
00:21:41who's addicted
00:21:41to playing games.
00:21:42How could you
00:21:43possibly?
00:21:44Shut up!
00:21:51Sorry.
00:21:53How dare you
00:21:54disrespect Julian!
00:21:55Dad,
00:21:55I don't care
00:21:56what kind of
00:21:56background Julian has.
00:21:57You can't just hit people!
00:21:58I wish we hit him more.
00:22:00Serena,
00:22:02do you even have
00:22:03any idea
00:22:03who Julian Clark is?
00:22:05We didn't tell you
00:22:06everything because
00:22:07of your ego
00:22:07and I didn't want
00:22:08to hurt your feelings.
00:22:09You were going to
00:22:10announce everything
00:22:11once the engagement
00:22:12was formally set.
00:22:13But who knew?
00:22:15Serena,
00:22:15you've been blind.
00:22:17Julian is...
00:22:18Thomas,
00:22:19you can't force
00:22:19something that isn't there.
00:22:20No real feelings,
00:22:22no need to go forward
00:22:23with the engagement.
00:22:24Julian,
00:22:25please,
00:22:25understand,
00:22:26all of this is on us.
00:22:28Everything that's
00:22:29happened here today
00:22:30is the fault
00:22:31of the HarperFelves.
00:22:33Give me a chance
00:22:34to make it right.
00:22:38Apologize to Julian,
00:22:40now!
00:22:40No!
00:22:41I don't care
00:22:42who you are, Julian.
00:22:44To me,
00:22:44you're still just
00:22:45a spoiled brat
00:22:46who thinks of himself
00:22:47as some sort of genius.
00:22:49But in reality,
00:22:51all you know
00:22:52is playing video games.
00:22:54I see right through you
00:22:56and I will not
00:22:57apologize to you!
00:22:59Serena!
00:22:59Enough!
00:23:00Julian,
00:23:01she's just being foolish.
00:23:02Let me apologize.
00:23:03Save it.
00:23:05Serena can't manage
00:23:06an apology herself,
00:23:08and I have no reason
00:23:09to protect this company anymore.
00:23:12Issue my order
00:23:14to spend all support
00:23:15for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:17Cease every protective measure
00:23:18effective immediately.
00:23:19Julian,
00:23:20please,
00:23:21don't.
00:23:21Without you,
00:23:22this place doesn't survive.
00:23:24Look!
00:23:26Oh!
00:23:27What?
00:23:30Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:23:31What?
00:23:32Oh, I guess you
00:23:33would have just
00:23:34pulled out orders.
00:23:34What do you mean?
00:23:35Hostile takeover.
00:23:37All of my investors
00:23:37pulled out.
00:23:38How can that be?
00:23:43Harper Enterprise
00:23:44stock plunges
00:23:4530% in minutes,
00:23:46wiping out billions
00:23:47in market value.
00:23:49What?
00:23:49My entire division
00:23:50just stopped.
00:23:51We can't operate like this.
00:23:52A stunning reversal.
00:23:54Harper Enterprise's
00:23:55many allies
00:23:56withdraw their investments
00:23:57in an instant,
00:23:58leaving the group
00:23:59facing massive losses.
00:24:01Could it be
00:24:01all these months
00:24:02the company's been
00:24:03supported by Julian?
00:24:05Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:07Why did Harper Enterprises
00:24:08suddenly lose power?
00:24:10What caused them
00:24:11to lose their backing?
00:24:13How is that possible?
00:24:16Are you attacking
00:24:17the company?
00:24:17No matter who
00:24:18is behind this,
00:24:19I, Serena,
00:24:20will never
00:24:20bow down to you.
00:24:24Harper Enterprise
00:24:25will not yield
00:24:26to any market attacks.
00:24:27Do whatever it takes
00:24:28to stabilize the stocks.
00:24:29It's Harper.
00:24:30This isn't a race.
00:24:31Our major partners
00:24:32are terminating
00:24:33their contracts
00:24:34and our own liquidity
00:24:35can't cover the gas.
00:24:37It's continuous.
00:24:38The stocks
00:24:38will crash
00:24:39straight through the floor.
00:24:41What did you say?
00:24:43Damn it.
00:24:44How could that trash
00:24:45have such kind of power?
00:24:47Why him?
00:24:48I won't accept this.
00:24:49I won't.
00:24:49Serena,
00:24:50how can you stand there
00:24:51and watch Harper Enterprises
00:24:53burn to the ground
00:24:54around your feet?
00:24:56Apologize to Julian.
00:24:57No!
00:25:01Serena,
00:25:02apologize.
00:25:05Serena.
00:25:15Serena,
00:25:16Serena,
00:25:16do not apologize.
00:25:18Harper Enterprises
00:25:18is worth hundreds
00:25:19of billions of dollars.
00:25:21You really think
00:25:21we can't survive
00:25:22without him?
00:25:23Let's just get through
00:25:24this crisis
00:25:24and I swear
00:25:25I will make him pay
00:25:26for everything
00:25:26that he has done
00:25:28to you.
00:25:28Oh,
00:25:29fucking no!
00:25:30Oh!
00:25:32It's not your fucking fault.
00:25:33You apologize to Julian
00:25:34right now
00:25:35and get on your
00:25:36name!
00:25:37Dad!
00:25:39Damien!
00:25:40Damien!
00:25:40Dad,
00:25:41stop!
00:25:42Damien has only ever
00:25:43stood up for me.
00:25:44He is the only one
00:25:44who actually cares about me
00:25:46and I won't let you
00:25:46treat him like this.
00:25:47Stay out of the way.
00:25:48No!
00:25:50You really gonna go
00:25:51to war with Julian
00:25:52over this snake?
00:25:54Do you even have
00:25:55any idea
00:25:55who he really is?
00:25:57Whoever he is,
00:25:57it doesn't give him
00:25:58the right to just
00:25:59bully people like this.
00:26:00I cannot stand
00:26:02bullies who throw
00:26:03their weight around
00:26:04and today that is
00:26:04exactly what you
00:26:06look like to me.
00:26:07Serena,
00:26:07that is enough.
00:26:08You hate bullies
00:26:09who throw their weight
00:26:10around, right?
00:26:11What about this guy?
00:26:12What about him?
00:26:13He hides behind
00:26:14your name to steal
00:26:15other people's work.
00:26:16He throws tea on me
00:26:17in this very room.
00:26:18He squeezes a million
00:26:19dollars out of me
00:26:19just for a $100,000
00:26:20watch.
00:26:21Don't you think
00:26:22that's bullying?
00:26:23Oh, I...
00:26:25But you hate bullies,
00:26:27right?
00:26:28Hey, you're no saint.
00:26:30You're just biased.
00:26:33You know, I've been
00:26:33engaged to you
00:26:34for the past six months.
00:26:36I have asked you out
00:26:3637 times.
00:26:39Yeah, because I thought
00:26:39we should at least
00:26:40get to know each other.
00:26:41Every time I have
00:26:42asked you out,
00:26:43you said,
00:26:43I'm too busy with work.
00:26:45But that wasn't the truth.
00:26:47The truth is,
00:26:48is that you were
00:26:49too busy dating
00:26:49this sycophant.
00:26:50Listen to him
00:26:51and sing your praises,
00:26:52right?
00:26:54Who's that?
00:26:56Oh, let me guess.
00:26:57Julian's still asking him
00:26:58off?
00:27:02Just ignore him.
00:27:03Is he still
00:27:04your fiancé?
00:27:06Is it okay
00:27:07you still keep
00:27:07blowing him off?
00:27:10I just...
00:27:10I can't stand him.
00:27:12A spoiled heir
00:27:13who thinks
00:27:13the world
00:27:14revolves around him?
00:27:17So what
00:27:18if I did?
00:27:19Who I choose
00:27:20to hang out with
00:27:21is my own choice.
00:27:22We're engaged,
00:27:23not married.
00:27:24I can see
00:27:25whoever I want.
00:27:27Serena,
00:27:28shut up.
00:27:29No,
00:27:29I am not done.
00:27:31Damien
00:27:31has worked
00:27:32himself to the bone.
00:27:34He is driven
00:27:35and disciplined
00:27:36and when Harper
00:27:37first went public,
00:27:38he was a key reason
00:27:39that we made it.
00:27:40If you had even
00:27:41half his talent, Julian,
00:27:43maybe I would have
00:27:44said yes to you once.
00:27:46But you don't.
00:27:50Damien was a key reason
00:27:51you made it.
00:27:51That's your story, right?
00:27:53What is so funny?
00:27:54I mean,
00:27:55I'm laughing at
00:27:56just how foolish you are.
00:27:58Do you know why
00:27:59for the past six months
00:28:00all of your proposals
00:28:01have sailed through?
00:28:03Why every deal
00:28:04that you like
00:28:04happened to have closed?
00:28:06Why every time
00:28:06that you wanted a loan,
00:28:08the banks rolled out
00:28:09a special fast track
00:28:10for you?
00:28:10Because Damien
00:28:11is brilliant.
00:28:12Because he
00:28:13has cleared
00:28:13every obstacle
00:28:14in my way.
00:28:15Damien?
00:28:16Brilliant?
00:28:17That was
00:28:18Julian.
00:28:19Julian is the one
00:28:21who quietly
00:28:21has held
00:28:22his entire thing
00:28:23together.
00:28:24Serena.
00:28:25No,
00:28:26that is impossible.
00:28:28I don't believe it.
00:28:38Hey.
00:28:39Hi's up, Serena.
00:28:40In the past six months,
00:28:42I've called in
00:28:4247 separate connections
00:28:43and cleared a path
00:28:44for you.
00:28:45Oh,
00:28:45I put Harper Enterprise
00:28:46on the exchange.
00:28:47And you know,
00:28:48I made you
00:28:48Wall Street's
00:28:49business queen.
00:28:50That's Iron Gate,
00:28:51North Bridge,
00:28:52and even Silver Line.
00:28:53Those are all
00:28:54the top 50 global giants.
00:28:55They've all been
00:28:56backing us
00:28:56behind the scenes?
00:28:57No wonder
00:28:58every project
00:28:58went so smoothly.
00:29:00Julian's the one
00:29:00with this kind
00:29:01of network.
00:29:02Damien's got some nerve
00:29:03stealing credit
00:29:04for something like this.
00:29:05That's a death wish.
00:29:09No,
00:29:10no,
00:29:10no.
00:29:10It's not true,
00:29:11huh?
00:29:11Harper Enterprise
00:29:12is what it is
00:29:13because of me
00:29:14and my hard work
00:29:15and my connections.
00:29:16Oh,
00:29:16you perigate fool.
00:29:19Did you think
00:29:20you could step in here
00:29:20and steal credit
00:29:21from everything?
00:29:28All right,
00:29:29that's enough.
00:29:31I finally got the
00:29:31all clear for my
00:29:32grandfather.
00:29:33I didn't go home.
00:29:34So as of right now,
00:29:35our engagement
00:29:36is terminated.
00:29:37Julian,
00:29:38all of this
00:29:39has been our fault,
00:29:40but the engagement...
00:29:42Let him go.
00:29:43I don't need a fiance
00:29:44who uses his family
00:29:45background to wreck people.
00:29:49Without my connections
00:29:50and my network,
00:29:52Harper Enterprise's
00:29:52stock is going to
00:29:53keep falling.
00:29:54It's going to go
00:29:55right back to where
00:29:55it was six months ago.
00:29:58Wait,
00:29:58wait,
00:29:58what?
00:29:59You're doing it.
00:30:00Stop.
00:30:01Prepare yourselves.
00:30:03Julian.
00:30:03Julian.
00:30:04Stop sitting.
00:30:05Julian.
00:30:08Serena,
00:30:09you silly,
00:30:10foolish,
00:30:11foolish girl.
00:30:12Grandpa,
00:30:14I have never
00:30:14been clearer.
00:30:16With or without him,
00:30:17I will lead
00:30:17Harper Enterprise
00:30:18back to the top.
00:30:19Serena's right.
00:30:20Mr. Harper,
00:30:21Chairman Harper,
00:30:22I'm going to stand
00:30:22by Serena's side
00:30:23and I'm going to
00:30:24give her everything
00:30:24that I've got.
00:30:26Crap.
00:30:27I'm going to
00:30:27beat the crap
00:30:28out of you
00:30:28once and for all.
00:30:30Dad,
00:30:30that is enough.
00:30:32Dad?
00:30:33Grandpa?
00:30:35I know you have
00:30:36your issues with Damien,
00:30:37but I believe
00:30:38he will prove
00:30:39himself to you
00:30:40and so will I.
00:30:43I will show
00:30:44everyone here
00:30:44that what Harper
00:30:45achieved over the
00:30:46past six months
00:30:46was my work.
00:30:48It has nothing
00:30:49to do with Julian.
00:30:51This meeting is over.
00:30:53Serena,
00:30:54wait up!
00:30:55You!
00:30:56Uh,
00:30:57tell me what to do
00:30:58with this reckless
00:30:59granddaughter.
00:31:04Serena,
00:31:05Serena!
00:31:06Don't even worry
00:31:07about that.
00:31:07I know our
00:31:08enterprise took
00:31:08a huge hit today,
00:31:09but as long as we
00:31:10lock down Amber
00:31:10Group's Crescent Lake
00:31:11project,
00:31:12change the game
00:31:13and everyone
00:31:14will still think
00:31:14that we're in control.
00:31:15Easy.
00:31:17The $3 billion
00:31:18Crescent Lake project.
00:31:20If we can win
00:31:21that contract,
00:31:22we can wipe
00:31:23all the problems
00:31:23we've been facing.
00:31:25Damien,
00:31:26you've secured
00:31:27several of Amber
00:31:28Group's projects
00:31:28before,
00:31:29and I'm going to
00:31:30put this one
00:31:30in your hands too.
00:31:31It's not going
00:31:32to be a problem,
00:31:33right?
00:31:33No, no,
00:31:33absolutely.
00:31:34You're going to
00:31:34count on me.
00:31:35Amber Group's
00:31:36deputy VP of projects,
00:31:38I mean,
00:31:38he trusts me
00:31:38clearly.
00:31:40He else has been
00:31:41in his eyes.
00:31:49Get the Crescent Lake
00:31:50contract ready.
00:31:51Same as always.
00:31:52Once the Harper team arrives,
00:31:53we hand it straight to them.
00:31:55Miss Lawson,
00:31:56we just got an update.
00:31:57Julian Clark
00:31:57has been kicked
00:31:58out of Harper Enterprise.
00:31:59The engagement is off.
00:32:01Serena fired him
00:32:02and ended it.
00:32:04Are you sure?
00:32:07Absolutely.
00:32:08Word is,
00:32:09she listened to her
00:32:09assistant Damien
00:32:10who really stirred the pot
00:32:11and then Serena
00:32:11personally pushed
00:32:12Julian out.
00:32:13Serena really thinks
00:32:14she got where she is
00:32:15because of Damien?
00:32:17That for your little
00:32:17lap dog?
00:32:19Then,
00:32:19do we still hand
00:32:21the Crescent Lake project
00:32:22over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:23Without Julian,
00:32:24Harper Enterprise
00:32:25really thinks
00:32:26it's worthy
00:32:26of Crescent Lake?
00:32:27Not a chance.
00:32:29Open it to public bidding.
00:32:31Yes, ma'am.
00:32:39Now that is an amazing shot,
00:32:41Mr. Brooks.
00:32:42Damien,
00:32:43Crescent Lake's public bid
00:32:44is coming up soon.
00:32:46How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:01Damien?
00:33:02What does this mean, huh?
00:33:04Mr. Brooks,
00:33:05why don't you do yourself
00:33:05a favor and take a closer look?
00:33:09That's one million
00:33:10in clean crypto,
00:33:12untraceable.
00:33:14Harper Enterprise
00:33:14is totally prepared
00:33:16to take on Crescent Lake.
00:33:18We just need you
00:33:19to give us
00:33:20a little extra attention.
00:33:22Oh my, Damien.
00:33:23You're too kind.
00:33:25Sure,
00:33:26it's a public bidding
00:33:27on paper,
00:33:28but as long as I'm here,
00:33:30you've got nothing
00:33:31to worry about.
00:33:33Sit tight.
00:33:35Contract's yours.
00:33:38Miss Larson
00:33:39usually hands
00:33:40Harper Enterprises
00:33:41whatever they want anyway.
00:33:43Well,
00:33:44thank you very much,
00:33:45Mr. Brooks.
00:34:17I heard Serena kicked you out.
00:34:20Six months of hard work
00:34:22down the drain.
00:34:24What does that feel?
00:34:26Oh, I see.
00:34:27So you brought me
00:34:28to your party
00:34:29just to mock me
00:34:30a little bit.
00:34:31Is that right?
00:34:32Of course.
00:34:33Not to.
00:34:36I'm here to steal you.
00:34:39You see,
00:34:41since your engagement
00:34:42is off,
00:34:44I was thinking,
00:34:45how about you
00:34:46consider me, huh?
00:34:50Guys like us,
00:34:52we don't get
00:34:52to escape alliances.
00:34:54Our families
00:34:55will bear us
00:34:56off either way,
00:34:57so why pick a stranger
00:35:00when there's someone
00:35:01who actually knows you?
00:35:04You see?
00:35:06Childhood friends,
00:35:08same circles,
00:35:1015 years of school.
00:35:13we match,
00:35:14you know?
00:35:16We fit.
00:35:18Hang on.
00:35:19Nora,
00:35:19are you saying this
00:35:21because you're drunk
00:35:22or do you...
00:35:22Shh.
00:35:30I'm not drunk.
00:35:31Okay?
00:35:32You don't have to
00:35:33answer me tonight,
00:35:34just think about it.
00:35:37Hmm?
00:36:07I told you,
00:36:08I'm not drunk.
00:36:09I'm not drunk.
00:36:10This room soon fell off.
00:36:12Oh, shit.
00:36:14I'm not drunk.
00:36:16Nora,
00:36:17your swimsuit fell off.
00:36:18Oh, shit.
00:36:19I'm not drunk.
00:36:35Miss Lawson,
00:36:37Amber Group's
00:36:37distinguished CEO,
00:36:39allow me the pleasure
00:36:39of introducing myself.
00:36:43Oh, I am so sorry.
00:36:44Bad, bad timing.
00:36:45Truly, terrible timing.
00:36:55Don't move.
00:36:56If that jacket slips for you
00:36:58in a second,
00:36:59you're finished.
00:37:00Okay, aren't you worried
00:37:00about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:02Amber Group's CEO
00:37:03get caught in a scandal
00:37:04at a pool party?
00:37:05I don't know if I'm
00:37:06those tomorrow's
00:37:07company's visibility,
00:37:08but I'm not letting
00:37:09the pictures
00:37:10of my breasts go firm.
00:37:11Okay.
00:37:13Okay.
00:37:16But if you stay
00:37:18through to me
00:37:18like this
00:37:19for the rest of the night,
00:37:22I think my heart's
00:37:24going to escape
00:37:24out of its chest.
00:37:37and suffer, okay?
00:37:40If you push me,
00:37:42I will toss you
00:37:44into a little ice crusher.
00:37:49Please,
00:37:50please,
00:37:51walk with me
00:37:52into the nearest
00:37:53changing room, okay?
00:37:55Okay.
00:38:07Speak of the devil
00:38:08of all the times.
00:38:15No, this is a private
00:38:16party for Amber Group's
00:38:17CEO.
00:38:18You know what I lost?
00:38:20Not exactly the kind
00:38:21of place where anybody
00:38:22could just wander into.
00:38:23Oh, wait.
00:38:27Well, well.
00:38:28I mean,
00:38:29your engagement ends
00:38:30and you move on
00:38:30in record time.
00:38:32Feelings for Serena
00:38:33weren't that deep
00:38:34after all.
00:38:36Can I help you
00:38:36with something?
00:38:38Seriously?
00:38:39This woman's
00:38:39even bigger than Serena.
00:38:41How does a loser
00:38:42like Julian
00:38:42always get women?
00:38:43I guess your taste
00:38:44hasn't improved.
00:38:46Whatever bargain bin date
00:38:47you dragged here,
00:38:48she's nothing
00:38:49compared to Serena.
00:38:52Pouring herself
00:38:53out like this?
00:38:55It's me,
00:38:55all digger.
00:38:56Is that so?
00:38:58Now I hear
00:38:58your company's
00:38:59looking to bid
00:39:00on Amber Group's
00:39:01Christmas project.
00:39:05What,
00:39:06you're bidding too?
00:39:07Yeah,
00:39:07I know you got
00:39:08connection,
00:39:08and that's great,
00:39:09you know,
00:39:09but you're still
00:39:10a useless fucking
00:39:11piece of trash.
00:39:12Me,
00:39:12I got real talent,
00:39:13all right?
00:39:13And I'm gonna win
00:39:14Crescent Lake
00:39:15for Serena.
00:39:16You,
00:39:16you're just gonna
00:39:17fucking lose
00:39:17like you lose
00:39:17everything else.
00:39:20Good luck.
00:39:32see that?
00:39:34That is a shameless
00:39:35whore.
00:39:36That woman
00:39:37seems familiar.
00:39:39Samantha,
00:39:39you don't even know
00:39:40anyone that cheap.
00:39:42All right,
00:39:43come on,
00:39:43let's enjoy the rest
00:39:44of the party,
00:39:44let's go socialize,
00:39:45and maybe we'll run
00:39:46into the host of the party
00:39:47lost in herself.
00:39:49And if we do,
00:39:51I'll make sure
00:39:52we're going to go to brush.
00:40:10So,
00:40:10that pretty boy Damien
00:40:11actually said
00:40:12that I'm nowhere
00:40:13near Serena.
00:40:15Tonight,
00:40:16we're gonna see
00:40:17who's really on top.
00:40:18Okay.
00:40:19Manners,
00:40:20this is a public event.
00:40:21What?
00:40:23You've known me
00:40:24since we were kids.
00:40:25Why would I pretend
00:40:25around you?
00:40:26But,
00:40:27if you like
00:40:29classy,
00:40:30I can do classy.
00:40:31Oh, can you?
00:40:32You can do classy?
00:40:33Yes.
00:40:34Miss Lawson,
00:40:35it's an honor
00:40:36to see you here today.
00:40:42I'll let you get to it.
00:40:47Sally?
00:41:04Julie?
00:41:08I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:09You really love to
00:41:10humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:13You know what?
00:41:15Mason Brooks,
00:41:16Amber Group's
00:41:16deputy VP of projects,
00:41:18already agreed to
00:41:19award the contract
00:41:20to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:23You can't win.
00:41:27I hear the Crescent Lake project
00:41:29is basically yours.
00:41:30Congratulations.
00:41:32Serena,
00:41:32you are the
00:41:33business queen of Wall Street,
00:41:34and with Damien
00:41:35backing you up,
00:41:36it's unstoppable.
00:41:37When the two of you
00:41:38take off,
00:41:38don't forget
00:41:39the little guys like us.
00:41:40Of course.
00:41:41You know,
00:41:41we're going to take care
00:41:42of you guys.
00:41:42Thank you so much.
00:41:50See that,
00:41:51Julian?
00:41:52Everybody already knows
00:41:53that Crescent Lake
00:41:54belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:55I suggest you walk out of here
00:41:56before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:41:58It's funny.
00:42:00You see,
00:42:00my Clark Group
00:42:01has deeper capital,
00:42:02better tech,
00:42:03and stronger global record
00:42:05than Harper Enterprise,
00:42:06so I'm just curious,
00:42:08why would Mason Brooks
00:42:09go with you guys?
00:42:10He recognizes Damien's talent,
00:42:12of course.
00:42:17I need to take this.
00:42:25My Julian.
00:42:28What century are you living in?
00:42:30Hmm?
00:42:31You really think that capital
00:42:32and technology
00:42:33wins contracts anymore?
00:42:34Then what does?
00:42:36I ain't really that fucking stupid.
00:42:38Of course this.
00:42:41I paid Mason Brooks
00:42:42one million in crypto.
00:42:44What do you have
00:42:45that's going to be there?
00:42:47You paid Mason Brooks?
00:42:50That's impossible.
00:42:51He wouldn't dare.
00:42:52That's impossible.
00:42:53He wouldn't dare.
00:42:54Yeah, you want to understand
00:42:55the rules up top there, sweetheart.
00:42:57But hey,
00:42:58you're a very lovely,
00:43:00beautiful escort.
00:43:01Why don't you do us all a favor,
00:43:02get up on that stage
00:43:03and give us a nice little
00:43:04poll show.
00:43:05Hey.
00:43:06Hey,
00:43:06I'm going to tell you,
00:43:07you want to know why
00:43:08I keep winning
00:43:09Amber Group deals?
00:43:12Because every time
00:43:12I give Mason Brooks
00:43:13a nice little fortune.
00:43:17Capital technology.
00:43:20It's useless.
00:43:21Fucking trash.
00:43:24Mason Brooks,
00:43:25you've got a lot
00:43:26on there.
00:43:27He's finished.
00:43:28Mr. Brooks is finished.
00:43:30Who the fuck is this?
00:43:32Who are you?
00:43:33What do you think?
00:43:34You're the Amber Group's
00:43:34CEO or something?
00:43:37Who gave you the fucking guts?
00:43:39It's adorable, no?
00:43:40Amber Group's
00:43:41anti-corruption code did.
00:43:43Anti-anti-anti-corruption?
00:43:58What are you going to report,
00:43:59Mr. Brooks?
00:44:00Hmm?
00:44:03You hit me.
00:44:05You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:07I'm going to have Mason Brooks
00:44:09crush you
00:44:09with one phone call.
00:44:13There he is.
00:44:14Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:15You're finished.
00:44:18Mr. Brooks.
00:44:19They need my friend.
00:44:20There's a woman here.
00:44:22Says she's going to report to you.
00:44:23Come on, please.
00:44:23Teach her less.
00:44:24Oh, report me?
00:44:26Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:27This woman right here.
00:44:31Miss
00:44:32Lawson?
00:44:32She's even quoting
00:44:34the anti-corruption code
00:44:35like she's somebody.
00:44:36Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:37What?
00:44:38What?
00:44:40This...
00:44:41This...
00:44:41This can't be...
00:44:45Go ahead.
00:44:46Laugh.
00:44:47Laugh some more.
00:44:48Are you insane, Damien?
00:44:50You'll say anything out loud.
00:44:51Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:44:52She's just some gold-dicking whore.
00:44:54I mean, even if she rats you out,
00:44:56who's going to believe this?
00:44:57Why are you hitting me?
00:44:59Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:01When did I ever take your money?
00:45:02I never took one cent.
00:45:05Say you again,
00:45:06and I'll bury you.
00:45:07Idiots!
00:45:08Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:11Miss Lawson, this...
00:45:12This Damien,
00:45:13he's a lunatic.
00:45:14He's making things up.
00:45:16Don't listen to him.
00:45:16I swear,
00:45:18I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:20Not once!
00:45:23Miss Lawson?
00:45:26No, no, no, wait.
00:45:27You're Noah Lawson?
00:45:28Amber's group CEO?
00:45:30How is that possible?
00:45:31How is that fucking...
00:45:32Mr. Brooks?
00:45:33Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:35Thank you so much for awarding
00:45:37the Crescent Lake Project
00:45:38to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:39We promise we won't let you down.
00:45:43Stop!
00:45:44Shut the fuck up!
00:45:46When did I ever give you anything?
00:45:50Miss Lawson?
00:45:50These Harper Enterprise people,
00:45:53they're all out of their minds.
00:45:55They lie like the wind.
00:45:57I can't believe a word they say.
00:45:59Miss Lawson?
00:46:01Miss Lawson?
00:46:03She's Nora Lawson?
00:46:08The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:10Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:12You can leave now.
00:46:15Um...
00:46:16Miss Lawson,
00:46:17I am so sorry.
00:46:19Damien
00:46:20didn't know who you were,
00:46:21so he thought that you and Julian
00:46:23were being, um,
00:46:24inappropriate.
00:46:25Um, but I'll make him apologize.
00:46:27Right now.
00:46:28He is blunt.
00:46:30Yes.
00:46:31But his ability
00:46:32is exceptional.
00:46:34Please,
00:46:35give Harper Enterprise
00:46:37the contract,
00:46:37and I promise
00:46:38we will deliver results
00:46:40that satisfy you.
00:46:41Exceptional ability?
00:46:43Are you sure about that?
00:46:45Of course.
00:46:46If not,
00:46:47why would Mason Brooks
00:46:48have handed him
00:46:48so many contracts before?
00:46:51You're about to find out.
00:46:58Damien?
00:47:00What does she mean?
00:47:02Oh, shit.
00:47:03I can't let her find out
00:47:04I secured every project right.
00:47:06So she's upset
00:47:07because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:09So she wants revenge.
00:47:11So she's going to embarrass
00:47:12Harper Enterprise
00:47:13in front of everyone.
00:47:13So what we need to do
00:47:14is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:15Let's go.
00:47:16Go?
00:47:17If we don't win Crescent Lake,
00:47:19Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:21Even if Miss Lawson
00:47:23is trying to punish us,
00:47:24we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:25Serena, please!
00:47:26Okay?
00:47:26I'm sorry.
00:47:28Here we go now.
00:47:29All right?
00:47:30I'll get you bigger projects,
00:47:31the biggest ones,
00:47:31but we need to go now.
00:47:32Come on.
00:47:33What is wrong with you today?
00:47:35Are you hiding something from me?
00:47:36I...
00:47:49You want to understand
00:47:51the rules up top there,
00:47:52sweetheart?
00:47:53Technology capital.
00:47:56Useless fucking trash.
00:47:58What?
00:47:59Shit!
00:47:59She actually recorded it?
00:48:01And escort.
00:48:02So why don't you do us all
00:48:03a nice little favor,
00:48:04get up on that stage,
00:48:05give us a nice little poll show.
00:48:09Who is that?
00:48:11He bribed Mason Brooks
00:48:13for contracts?
00:48:14That's Damien Blackwell,
00:48:15Harper Enterprise's
00:48:16executive assistant.
00:48:17How do you not know him?
00:48:18All of the best Amber projects
00:48:19being sent to Harper Enterprise
00:48:21over the past six months,
00:48:23and now we know
00:48:24they were bought.
00:48:27That's not true.
00:48:28All of that's a lie.
00:48:29Just don't...
00:48:30Just don't...
00:48:30Don't believe it.
00:48:31Just turn it off.
00:48:32Turn it off right now!
00:48:33Stop him!
00:48:35Let go of me!
00:48:37Damien, you did this
00:48:38behind my back?
00:48:40This is your talent?
00:48:41Your ability?
00:48:43Yes, you're going to
00:48:43please just see us.
00:48:45Mr. Brooks' assistant.
00:48:46What a fucking
00:48:47ridiculous,
00:48:47Samuel.
00:48:48Who are you to say anything?
00:48:50What do you think,
00:48:50your Amber group CEO?
00:48:53Amber...
00:48:53Turn it off, please.
00:48:56Okay?
00:48:56Okay, Miss Lawson,
00:48:57please just turn it off.
00:48:58Just...
00:48:59Please stop it!
00:48:59Please!
00:49:00Please!
00:49:01Bribery is one thing,
00:49:03but mistaking Miss Lawson
00:49:04for an escort?
00:49:06A whore?
00:49:07He's fucking blind.
00:49:09The best part?
00:49:10He confessed right in front of her
00:49:12that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:14Genius!
00:49:15And Serena trusted him
00:49:16to be her assistant?
00:49:17I mean,
00:49:18what does that say
00:49:18about her judgment?
00:49:19Damien,
00:49:21you have disappointed me
00:49:22beyond words.
00:49:24Serena,
00:49:24I did it because
00:49:25I cared about you.
00:49:26Because I care about
00:49:26Harper Enterprise.
00:49:27Please,
00:49:28I'm happy
00:49:28you told you the truth.
00:49:30Enough.
00:49:31Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:33Mason Brooks,
00:49:34you're fired.
00:49:35Effective immediately.
00:49:38I'm done.
00:49:40The Crescent Lake Project.
00:49:43Harper Enterprise
00:49:44is disqualified.
00:49:46Every single project
00:49:47Amber Group
00:49:48has done together
00:49:48with them
00:49:49will be suspended.
00:49:50The projects
00:49:51will be back
00:49:52for
00:49:52competitive
00:49:53bidding.
00:49:55No, no,
00:49:56you can't do that.
00:49:57Those projects
00:49:58are our next three years.
00:49:59They affect
00:50:00thousands of
00:50:01employees.
00:50:02Their lives
00:50:02are future.
00:50:04And why am
00:50:04the person
00:50:05who hired trash
00:50:06and called it talent?
00:50:08Real talent.
00:50:15Pathetic.
00:50:21Serena.
00:50:24Please,
00:50:25you gotta let me explain.
00:50:27Miss Lawson,
00:50:28wait.
00:50:28Serena!
00:50:37I just avenged you
00:50:38in front of a lot
00:50:39of people.
00:50:40Asking for our dinner
00:50:41isn't too much,
00:50:42right?
00:50:43Not at all.
00:50:45You pick.
00:50:45My treat.
00:50:46Generous.
00:50:47Let's go.
00:50:48Time to rob the tycoon.
00:50:52Miss Lawson,
00:50:55Damien was
00:50:56wrong
00:50:56to bribe anyone
00:50:57and I,
00:50:58I apologize
00:50:59on his behalf.
00:51:01Just,
00:51:01please,
00:51:02give Harper Enterprise
00:51:04another chance.
00:51:05I,
00:51:06I will meet
00:51:06the highest standards.
00:51:07I will deliver
00:51:08a perfect result
00:51:09on every project.
00:51:11Perfect result?
00:51:12And what exactly
00:51:14guarantees that?
00:51:15Your empty
00:51:16suit assistant?
00:51:18Miss Lawson,
00:51:20Damien made a mistake,
00:51:22but his ability
00:51:24is exceptional.
00:51:26For six months,
00:51:27he managed
00:51:27every Harper Enterprise
00:51:29project flawlessly.
00:51:30No errors,
00:51:31no delays.
00:51:31If you don't pull
00:51:32this contract,
00:51:33I guarantee
00:51:35he will make sure
00:51:36you see his value.
00:51:40managed flawlessly.
00:51:42He's not the only
00:51:42empty suit here.
00:51:44You're too.
00:51:46Miss Lawson,
00:51:47you are crossing
00:51:48a line.
00:51:51I understand that
00:51:52you and Julian
00:51:54are close
00:51:55and you want to
00:51:55get back at me
00:51:56for him,
00:51:57but humiliating
00:51:58someone like this,
00:51:59isn't that a little
00:51:59cruel?
00:52:00You really think
00:52:01I froze
00:52:02our cooperation
00:52:03because Damien
00:52:04and Bribe Mason?
00:52:06Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:08For six months,
00:52:10Harper Enterprise
00:52:11got everything
00:52:12it wanted
00:52:13from Ember Group
00:52:14for one reason.
00:52:17Julian Clark.
00:52:19Damien
00:52:19has nothing
00:52:21to do with that.
00:52:22He was just
00:52:22a messenger boy
00:52:23who picked up
00:52:24the contracts.
00:52:25What?
00:52:26When Julian
00:52:27was there,
00:52:28bribe or no bribe,
00:52:30Harper Enterprise
00:52:30got the deals
00:52:32anyway.
00:52:33But now,
00:52:34Julian's gone,
00:52:35so the special
00:52:36treatment is gone.
00:52:38Damien's little
00:52:38arriving incident?
00:52:40It was just
00:52:40a convenient excuse
00:52:41to take everything
00:52:42back.
00:52:43Understand now?
00:52:48And about
00:52:49those flawless
00:52:50projects,
00:52:51Harper Enterprise
00:52:52didn't run smoothly
00:52:53because Damien
00:52:54is brilliant.
00:52:55It ran smoothly
00:52:56because Julian
00:52:57called every partner,
00:52:59every supplier,
00:53:01every gatekeeper
00:53:02and cleared
00:53:02the path for you.
00:53:04Damien had nothing
00:53:05to do with that.
00:53:08No.
00:53:10That's not true.
00:53:12I don't believe it.
00:53:13You don't believe me?
00:53:14Then watch.
00:53:16Watch what happens
00:53:17when Julian leaves.
00:53:19Let's see if
00:53:20your exceptional Damien
00:53:21can keep everything
00:53:22perfect
00:53:23when Julian
00:53:24is not there
00:53:25to hold
00:53:25the world
00:53:26together for him.
00:53:28Come on,
00:53:29let's go.
00:53:36Julian,
00:53:37is what she's saying
00:53:38true?
00:53:39I...
00:53:40You were right
00:53:41about one thing,
00:53:42Serena.
00:53:43Julian and I
00:53:44are closer
00:53:44than you thought.
00:53:45That's why it disgusts
00:53:47me watching him
00:53:48waste his life away
00:53:49than a selfish
00:53:50and blind woman
00:53:51like you.
00:53:56Was I wrong?
00:53:58No, no, no,
00:53:58Serena, Serena,
00:53:59do not listen to her nonsense.
00:54:01Harper's success
00:54:01is based off
00:54:02of my hard work.
00:54:04Okay, Nora Lawson,
00:54:05she's just,
00:54:05she's attacking
00:54:06and slandering
00:54:07my name
00:54:08to defend.
00:54:09Julian,
00:54:09you have to believe me.
00:54:10Please,
00:54:11you have to understand.
00:54:11Because of you,
00:54:13Crescent Lake
00:54:14is gone.
00:54:15Every Amber project
00:54:16is gone.
00:54:18Harper Enterprise
00:54:18is on the edge
00:54:20of collapse
00:54:20and you're asking
00:54:21me to trust you?
00:54:23How?
00:54:23Tell me how.
00:54:25Please,
00:54:26just listen to me.
00:54:27Okay, yeah,
00:54:28we lost Amber group,
00:54:28but we're not finished.
00:54:30I mean,
00:54:31we still have the partners
00:54:32and the CEOs.
00:54:33I mean,
00:54:33they love me.
00:54:33They absolutely love
00:54:34and adore me.
00:54:36I promise.
00:54:37You know what?
00:54:37Matter of fact,
00:54:38I'm gonna call
00:54:39and I'm gonna get you
00:54:39some new projects
00:54:40right now.
00:54:44Hello,
00:54:45Mr. Foster.
00:54:45It's Damien here.
00:54:46I hear the Grandview Plaza
00:54:48is taking bids
00:54:48and Harper Enterprise,
00:54:50you know,
00:54:51we would absolutely love.
00:54:52Harper Enterprise?
00:54:54Who the hell is that?
00:54:55Do you think you're
00:54:55even in the same league
00:54:56as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:00Mr. Foster,
00:55:01what do you mean?
00:55:03Last time we spoke,
00:55:04you said that you believed
00:55:06in the Harper Enterprise
00:55:07and that you would love
00:55:08to work together.
00:55:09Listen up.
00:55:10That's because Julian Clark
00:55:11was in your damn Enterprise.
00:55:12I was giving him respect.
00:55:15You don't flatter yourself,
00:55:17bunch of blind dumbasses.
00:55:19Call me again
00:55:20and I'll block
00:55:20your fucking number.
00:55:22So what really was Julian?
00:55:24No, no.
00:55:24That's not possible.
00:55:26I don't believe that.
00:55:27I don't.
00:55:28Hello, Mr. Parker.
00:55:30It's Damien.
00:55:30I was hoping to talk
00:55:31about future collaborations.
00:55:33Damien?
00:55:33You've got the fucking nerve
00:55:35to call me?
00:55:36I gave Harper Enterprise
00:55:38projects because of Mr. Clark
00:55:39and then you turned around
00:55:41and claimed you closed the deal?
00:55:43Who gave you the audacity?
00:55:46Shameless trash?
00:55:50Ms. Parker.
00:55:52Ms. Parker, no.
00:55:53No, God damn it!
00:55:54No, I don't believe this.
00:55:56I don't believe this.
00:55:58Fucking Julian
00:55:59this whole fucking time.
00:56:00God damn it.
00:56:01I'm sorry.
00:56:02I'm sorry.
00:56:03Hello?
00:56:05Mr. Turner, it's Damien.
00:56:06Damien?
00:56:07Who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:09Calling me directly?
00:56:10Learn some manners.
00:56:13Julian was polite enough
00:56:15to tolerate you
00:56:15playing sideman
00:56:16with his fiance.
00:56:17I'm not.
00:56:18You bastard too.
00:56:21Mr. Turner?
00:56:22Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:26What the fuck is happening?
00:56:34Ms. Harper?
00:56:35This is bad.
00:56:37Our partners are
00:56:38flooding us with messages.
00:56:39They're suspending contracts,
00:56:40pulling out a deal.
00:56:41Wait, what is happening?
00:56:43They said before
00:56:44they only worked
00:56:45with Harper Enterprise
00:56:46because Julian Clark
00:56:47backed us.
00:56:48Now that he's gone,
00:56:49they don't trust us
00:56:49with their project.
00:56:51Julian.
00:56:53It's Julian again.
00:56:58It's true.
00:57:00They only gave us deals
00:57:02because of Julian.
00:57:05Julian!
00:57:05No, no, no, no.
00:57:06Please, okay?
00:57:07They're just saying that
00:57:08because Julian
00:57:09has been paying them off.
00:57:10Think about it, okay?
00:57:11You know what?
00:57:12Just give you some time
00:57:12and I'll get you
00:57:13some new projects.
00:57:14I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:15I swear.
00:57:16Get away from me!
00:57:18You liar!
00:57:20You fraud, Damien!
00:57:21All those CEOs,
00:57:23they only had you
00:57:25pick up contracts
00:57:26from them
00:57:26and you told me
00:57:27you negotiated
00:57:29the deals.
00:57:30I swear,
00:57:30I didn't know
00:57:31that they would.
00:57:34Get out of my sight.
00:57:37Now!
00:57:44Damn!
00:57:56I was this close
00:57:58to locking Serena down,
00:57:59stepping into the
00:58:00upper circle.
00:58:01I'm not letting it
00:58:01end like this.
00:58:07Serena,
00:58:08you really thought
00:58:09you were smart.
00:58:11But you're really just
00:58:13pathetic,
00:58:14trash.
00:58:16Without Julian,
00:58:18you're nothing.
00:58:28Dad warned you.
00:58:30Grandpa warned you.
00:58:32And you still
00:58:33wouldn't listen.
00:58:37You ignored everything
00:58:39Julian did
00:58:40and worshipped
00:58:41a con artist
00:58:42like Damien.
00:58:44I'm so stupid.
00:58:49I'm so stupid.
00:58:56Idiot.
00:58:56I'm so stupid.
00:58:56And now look at you.
00:58:59Projects gone.
00:59:01Company collapsing.
00:59:05Idiot.
00:59:06I'm so stupid.
00:59:18Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:27Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:28Sweetie, listen.
00:59:30Listen up.
00:59:31I know I messed up.
00:59:39Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:42I know, I know, I was wrong.
00:59:45Always damn Julian!
00:59:48Julian.
00:59:51Come back, okay?
00:59:53Please come back.
00:59:59Damn back.
01:00:04You don't have to be scared.
01:00:07Harper Enterprise is business, Queen.
01:00:09So much better than those cheap girls.
01:00:12Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine.
01:00:17Damien! You sick bastard!
01:00:20You sick bastard!
01:00:25I really mean it.
01:00:27I love you.
01:00:28You fucking...
01:00:30I'm telling you the truth!
01:00:31I mean it!
01:00:32Okay?
01:00:32I promise.
01:00:34I'll treat you well.
01:00:38You fucking monster dead!
01:00:40Get off me, please!
01:00:42I'm begging you, don't!
01:00:43Please, please.
01:00:44Say yes.
01:00:45What did I do?
01:00:50I'm fucking dead!
01:00:51I'm sorry, help me!
01:00:53I tried being nice to you.
01:00:55I fucking tried!
01:00:56But you keep fighting me back!
01:00:57Help!
01:00:59Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:00Keep fucking screaming!
01:01:02Right?
01:01:04You're not gonna say no.
01:01:06I'm gonna fuck you.
01:01:07Help!
01:01:09Help!
01:01:11Julian!
01:01:12Help!
01:01:13Help!
01:01:14Julian!
01:01:14Julian!
01:01:14Julian!
01:01:14Oh!
01:01:16Get him out of here!
01:01:18Stop!
01:01:18Let me go!
01:01:20Julian, you know this wasn't the fucking lights.
01:01:22This isn't over.
01:01:27Julian!
01:01:29Thank God you came and you had like-
01:01:31We are not that close.
01:01:35I was just passing through.
01:01:36I heard some screaming, so I stopped by to check.
01:01:39You.
01:01:39I want you to call the Harper family.
01:01:42Tell them to come pick her up.
01:01:43Yes, sir.
01:01:45Julian!
01:01:47I am sorry.
01:01:49I know.
01:01:50I was wrong.
01:01:52Just...
01:01:52Please come back.
01:01:54Julian!
01:01:56Our reservation is in ten minutes.
01:01:58Let's go.
01:02:06Serena.
01:02:08I told you over and over and over again that Damien was not a good man and you refused to
01:02:19listen.
01:02:19Julian.
01:02:21And Julian.
01:02:22If Julian doesn't come along, just at the right time.
01:02:25Oh my God.
01:02:27I can't even...
01:02:28I can't even think about it.
01:02:30If you don't do something about that stubborn pride of yours, one day, you will live to regret it.
01:02:36Dad.
01:02:36Grandpa.
01:02:37Please.
01:02:37Stop.
01:02:38I know I was wrong.
01:02:40Okay.
01:02:41I'll...
01:02:42I'll apologize to Julian and I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:49The problem with that is that you may feel that way, but Julian might not.
01:02:55Grandpa.
01:02:55Grandpa.
01:02:57Don't worry.
01:02:59I...
01:03:00I will apologize properly and I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:05That's all we can do.
01:03:08So, John.
01:03:09Sir.
01:03:10Put out a city-wide bolo on that bastard Damien.
01:03:14He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:18We're not letting that go.
01:03:20No.
01:03:21We're not.
01:03:22Understood.
01:03:48Ssss...
01:03:54Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:00What is this supposed to be?
01:04:03A gift for you.
01:04:05Myself.
01:04:07I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:09Amber group backs you up.
01:04:11No questions asked.
01:04:13But first, you have to accept the gift.
01:04:17Not really.
01:04:27Hey, can you not do that?
01:04:30You're making this incredibly awkward.
01:04:33You know a woman like me shows up a gift wrapped
01:04:36and any man would have, you know,
01:04:39housed me by now.
01:04:41Then tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:44Hung up?
01:04:46Why would I be hung up on Serena?
01:04:48She and I were never romantic.
01:04:51No, it's just a business marriage between two families.
01:04:55Things are moving too fast.
01:04:57You gotta think twice.
01:04:59But I don't have time.
01:05:01My family is preparing to send me off into a European alliance.
01:05:06Some old money.
01:05:08Perfect match they can show off at Wallace.
01:05:11Wait, what are you talking about? Are you serious?
01:05:13Yes, Julian.
01:05:15My uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune
01:05:17and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of me permanently.
01:05:20But I don't want a stranger.
01:05:22I want you.
01:05:23I love you.
01:05:25Julian.
01:05:27Let's make it official.
01:05:30Let's get married.
01:05:33You know, if you'll marry me, my family won't dare object.
01:05:40Please, John.
01:05:51I'll marry you.
01:05:53I'll marry you.
01:05:55Are you serious?
01:05:56No takebacks.
01:05:58No takebacks.
01:05:59Ever.
01:05:59Ever.
01:06:00I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:03But can you help me out?
01:06:07Um, my hands are getting wet.
01:06:10So impatient.
01:06:14It's like you said.
01:06:17If I accept the gift,
01:06:20then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:26Then be gentle.
01:06:35Julian, you didn't forget what you promised last night, right?
01:06:41Uh, no.
01:06:42Because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:06:44Of course I remember that.
01:06:46You know, when someone wraps themselves as a gift,
01:06:48you kind of remember that for the rest of your life.
01:06:51Details!
01:06:52Details!
01:06:52Those are just tiny details.
01:06:57You look like big details to me.
01:07:01Julian.
01:07:04Can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:06Serena, I really don't think there's anything we need to discuss.
01:07:09Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:10I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:12I misjudged everything.
01:07:14Please, just give me one more chance,
01:07:16and I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:18And if you take me back,
01:07:20just tell me what you want.
01:07:21I'll do anything.
01:07:22I'm sorry, I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:28Boyfriend?
01:07:34Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:07:37Well, Julian hates them too.
01:07:40And yet you stayed at Harper Enterprise for six full months.
01:07:44He asked you out 37 times.
01:07:46So tell me, what exactly are you proud of?
01:07:50Hmm?
01:07:52Men like him?
01:07:54If you treat him like trash,
01:07:56someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:07:59Listen carefully.
01:08:00We are all together now,
01:08:01so better keep your distance.
01:08:03If you don't,
01:08:06I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:09Come on.
01:08:10We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:13Let's not be late.
01:08:14Wedding outfits?
01:08:17Let's go.
01:08:23Let's go.
01:08:32So how did it go?
01:08:34Julian?
01:08:35He's with Nora.
01:08:36Oh, God.
01:08:40Nora.
01:08:42Nora Lawson.
01:08:43CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:45Of course.
01:08:47You know, Serena,
01:08:48it's an elite like Julian.
01:08:51The second you let go,
01:08:53somebody comes and grabs him.
01:08:54You don't get another chance.
01:08:57God gave our family a chance,
01:08:58and we blew it.
01:09:01God,
01:09:02forgive the Harpers.
01:09:04Please.
01:09:06Ms. Hopper,
01:09:07finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:10Hopper Enterprises' cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:13If we don't act immediately,
01:09:14we won't even have enough to make payroll this month.
01:09:19Great.
01:09:20Now all of Wall Street knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:24That was going to lend to us now.
01:09:25How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:27This is my fault,
01:09:29okay?
01:09:30I was blind.
01:09:31Are you proud now?
01:09:33I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:09:37I didn't realize that Julian was running everything,
01:09:41and the moment he's gone,
01:09:43I can't do anything.
01:09:47Grandpa,
01:09:49I'm so sorry.
01:09:50I ruined Harpers Enterprise.
01:09:52I ruined everything.
01:09:55Dad,
01:09:55you're the one who arranged the engagement
01:09:58with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:09:59So maybe you should go talk to him
01:10:02and see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:05Yes, Grandpa.
01:10:06Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:09If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:12The Clark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:15Yes,
01:10:16they honored our engagement.
01:10:19And that was a mercy.
01:10:21That was a blessing.
01:10:23But you threw it away.
01:10:27Still,
01:10:29for your sake and for your future,
01:10:31and for our future,
01:10:34we'll fight.
01:10:41Serena,
01:10:43when you see Julian's grandfather,
01:10:45your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:50If he forgives you,
01:10:52only then will you know
01:10:54that you have a chance
01:10:55to get Julian back.
01:10:57Understood, Grandpa.
01:10:59For the Harper family,
01:11:00I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:17Welcome!
01:11:18You must be here
01:11:19for Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's
01:11:21engagement party.
01:11:23Perfect timing.
01:11:24They're just about to start.
01:11:26Engagement party?
01:11:28So they're really engaged?
01:11:31Wait,
01:11:31how is this all happening so fast?
01:11:35What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:37Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson
01:11:39have known each other
01:11:40since they were born,
01:11:40and everyone is so happy
01:11:42that they're finally getting married.
01:11:44Oh,
01:11:45Oh,
01:11:45oh,
01:11:45I see.
01:11:46You didn't come here
01:11:48to congratulate them,
01:11:49right?
01:11:50Then,
01:11:51please leave.
01:11:52Otherwise,
01:11:53I will have to call security.
01:11:55oh,
01:11:55oh,
01:11:55oh,
01:11:58oh, oh, oh, I see.
01:12:15Is this my punishment?
01:12:19All right,
01:12:20everyone,
01:12:21big smiles.
01:12:25Oh,
01:12:38are you okay?
01:12:41Hey,
01:12:42I'm sorry.
01:12:42I'm sorry.
01:12:46What is it?
01:12:48It's nothing. Come on. Dinner's almost ready.
01:13:04Dad! The Harpers!
01:13:07My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:12For him, and his six months at Harper Enterprise, it was a total humiliation.
01:13:20We've shown the Harpers more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:26Understood, Dad.
01:13:34Okay, enough, Serena. Stop. You can't drink this away.
01:13:39Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:13:42If you don't get up, it's over.
01:13:46Just leave me the fuck alone, okay?
01:13:49Just let me drink. I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:52I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:13:54No, you...
01:13:57All right, I've got to take this. Don't move.
01:14:00I'll be right back, and then I am taking you home.
01:14:12Nora.
01:14:15Okay, Nora. Be honest.
01:14:17You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:20You just got engaged, and you're getting married next week?
01:14:24Let's see. You've known Julian for 20-plus years. You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:14:30I've liked Julian for 20 years, and I finally got him to say yes.
01:14:35You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:14:37Lock it down from what?
01:14:38From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:14:40They're collapsing and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:14:44I have to move fast.
01:14:46If they start begging, what if Julian hesitates?
01:14:52But Julian and Serena were forced into that. There's no real love.
01:14:56Why will Julian hesitate? What are you afraid of?
01:15:00You don't get it.
01:15:01Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months, and it wasn't just because his grandfather would order it.
01:15:08Then why?
01:15:10Because Serena is his type.
01:15:15Wait, what?
01:15:18I am Julian's type?
01:15:22No way!
01:15:23I'm serious.
01:15:25The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:15:27That exact time.
01:15:29I mean, with his personality, even if his grandfather forced him, he would have stayed there for three days max
01:15:36and then vanished.
01:15:37He would not stay there and take six months of humiliation if he didn't want it to.
01:15:43That's Julian Clark.
01:15:46So that's why?
01:15:47Serena must have destroyed him.
01:15:49I have to get married fast.
01:15:52I cannot give her a single chance.
01:15:55So that's what it was.
01:15:57Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months because I'm his type.
01:16:01He likes me.
01:16:02That means I still have a chance.
01:16:04I still have a chance.
01:16:06This is my last shot.
01:16:08I am not wasting it.
01:16:16Where is she?
01:16:23Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:39Wow, they look perfect together.
01:16:42They're childhood sweethearts.
01:16:44The whole fantasy.
01:16:45Oh my God, brilliant.
01:16:48And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:10Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:13Who is that?
01:17:15Is that Serena Harper?
01:17:16CEO of Harper Enterprise?
01:17:18You mean the woman who rode on Julian's back to the IPO and then kicked him out like he was
01:17:23nothing?
01:17:24Without Julian, Harper Enterprise is basically bankrupt.
01:17:27Pathetic.
01:17:28Wait!
01:17:30Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:35Julian, I know you like me.
01:17:38You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:46I know.
01:17:47I was wrong.
01:17:49Totally wrong.
01:17:49Okay?
01:17:50Just please.
01:17:52Give me another chance.
01:17:56Our engagement is over.
01:17:58In fact, you were the one that called it off.
01:18:01Look, this is my wedding.
01:18:03Have some dignity.
01:18:04In fact, can we get her out of here, please?
01:18:06No, please.
01:18:07I'll do anything.
01:18:09Just stop.
01:18:14I know you hate me because I rejected you 37 times, but I'll make it up to you.
01:18:22I'll chase you 37 times, 370 times, whatever it did.
01:18:28Can we please get her out?
01:18:29No, don't touch me!
01:18:31Julian, what do you want from me?
01:18:33I know you like me.
01:18:34So why won't you give me another chance?
01:18:37Why?
01:18:37Why?
01:18:42Simple question.
01:18:43Do you love me?
01:18:47I...
01:18:47Exactly.
01:18:48You don't.
01:18:50You didn't realize you made a mistake.
01:18:52You realized that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:18:55See, what you want is not a chance, but a tool.
01:18:59You want me back so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:03No, that, that, that's not true.
01:19:07Just please, listen, please, listen.
01:19:11Enough, Serena.
01:19:12When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise, do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:17Let me ask you this.
01:19:19If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed, if your value kept climbing, would you still be here
01:19:24standing in front of me today?
01:19:28No, no, you wouldn't.
01:19:30You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:31You'd be celebrating.
01:19:33You'd say that you earned the business queen a crown.
01:19:35You'd be mocking me, calling me pathetic.
01:19:38You'd say that firing me was the best decision you ever made.
01:19:40Plus, you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:19:43No.
01:19:45No, Julian, that, that's not me.
01:19:47Just admit it, Serena.
01:19:50You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:52But on my wedding day, you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:19:55Why?
01:19:56Because you want me back as your lifeline.
01:19:58Your donor.
01:19:59Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:02But the moment I stop being useful, you will kick me away again without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:07No.
01:20:09No, Julian.
01:20:10That is not true.
01:20:12The night that you saved me from Damien, I...
01:20:17I felt something for you.
01:20:19I did.
01:20:20Stop.
01:20:20Do not perform at my wedding.
01:20:23You don't regret hurting me.
01:20:24You regret choosing the wrong man.
01:20:26You regret that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:20:29You know, I'll admit, when I met you, you were exactly my type.
01:20:35But once I got to know you, once I realized what you really are, all I felt was disgust.
01:20:42But Nora?
01:20:43Nora, she has cared for me since we were kids.
01:20:50When I was sick, she stayed up all night taking care of me.
01:20:55When I was at my lowest, she pulled me back up.
01:20:58Even when I went back to Harper Enterprise on the engagement, she still supported me.
01:21:04She still took hits from me.
01:21:09So, let me ask you.
01:21:12Why would I give up all of that for you?
01:21:16What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:23Get her out.
01:21:24No, no.
01:21:25No, please don't, Julian.
01:21:27Don't, don't, please.
01:21:28I'm begging you.
01:21:29Just please let me explain.
01:21:31Please.
01:21:32Please.
01:21:32Let me, please stop.
01:21:33Let me go.
01:21:34Julian, please don't do it.
01:21:36Crashing a wedding like that?
01:21:38I thought she actually loved him.
01:21:40Turns out, she just realized, without Julian, she can't stay on top.
01:21:44She used Julian's feelings like a weapon.
01:21:46Totally vampire-drained and dry.
01:22:06Crashing a wedding like that.
01:22:18Mr. Clark!
01:22:36I'm sure you've all heard.
01:22:39Harper Enterprise, effective today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:43So, we're all being terminated.
01:22:46What?
01:22:48Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:22:50I've given this company 15 years.
01:22:53You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:22:5515 years, wow.
01:22:57Congratulations.
01:22:58You've had 15 years to make this company clean.
01:23:00Instead, you've turned it into a soup.
01:23:04You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:07We've seen how you all work.
01:23:10Bribes.
01:23:12Deciblyments.
01:23:14Kickbacks.
01:23:16Fraud.
01:23:18I think we want to be doing this file.
01:23:20So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms.
01:23:24And, uh...
01:23:25Once you sign them, hand over your badges,
01:23:28or you're going to rob a job.
01:23:31This! This is it!
01:23:47Are you satisfied now?
01:23:51Satisfied? Thomas went to my grandfather.
01:23:53He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:23:58I saved you.
01:24:01Julian!
01:24:04If I didn't treat you the way I did, would any of this be different?
01:24:18Julian, why don't you get thrown away and still land something better?
01:24:21I spent my whole life climbing upwards and now I'm stuck at the bottom, hunted by cops!
01:24:25I won't accept it!
01:24:28Julian, watch out!
01:24:29Julian!
01:24:34Let me go! Fucking let me go!
01:24:36I already spared you.
01:24:37You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:40Take him to the police and get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:42I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:44Fucking coward! You're a fucking coward!
01:24:46Hiding behind your goddamn family's money!
01:24:47No! No! Fight me! 101! 101!
01:24:50101! Let the guards go!
01:24:51You don't have the fucking guts, do you?!
01:24:57Hey Julian, what was that?
01:25:00Just taking out the trash.
01:25:03Are you done here?
01:25:03Julian?
01:25:05No. Let's go.
01:25:13I was wrong!
01:25:15Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:17I was wrong!
