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 argumentation.
00:00:11Help me up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:14Help me up here, I'm drowning.
00:00:16Help me up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:21No, you have to.
00:00:22I need you to buy the stock, or I totally put the dollar.
00:00:24You can't do this now.
00:00:26This isn't some random dip.
00:00:27Whoever's shorting us came prepared. They're tearing us apart.
00:00:30We 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.
00:00:50Shit.
00:00:50We need your help. You're very important.
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 you 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.
00:01:22The 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.
00:01:44Hello, I'm with my friend.
00:02:00Here's the contract.
00:02:01Here is the contract.
00:02:01Thank you, Emily.
00:02:05Thank you, Emily.
00:02:14Now you'll be back.
00:02:14neutralized the short attack against Harper and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:19Let'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 this win 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.
00:03:09Julian, our company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:14Keep sharing. I'm listening.
00:03:18This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:22Wait, I'm sorry everyone.
00:03:25I forgot.
00:03:27You're just the resident good for nothing.
00:03:29My 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?
00:03:48It doesn't matter.
00:03:49And what matters is that I stopped.
00:03:51You can't even name your enemy?
00:03:53All right, fine. Next 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, you can't even name the basics. All right.
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? You're fucking fired!
00:04:46Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:57You hear that, Dad? I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:03Understood.
00:05:05Now, hearing's not enough. I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company now.
00:05:13You took our family's market cap and raised it to three trillion dollars.
00:05:19You proved everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:22Now, 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 can grow, brat. Our families go way back.
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!
00:05:46That's it. You're going to do this.
00:05:48I've already arranged everything.
00:05:50You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:53Go work with Serena and date her properly, hmm?
00:05:59You refuse.
00:06:02Okay. Nurse, Dr. Ann, check it 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 killed this family on your back.
00:06:18We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:21The Harper's, they're in trouble.
00:06:23We do not abandon our own. Use that brilliant head of yours and help them. Please, for me.
00:06:33Fine. I'll do it.
00:06:37I hear you.
00:06:45For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked, using 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 the 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. So, pathetic.
00:07:14I said you're fired. Get your shit and get the fuck out of my book.
00:07:18I heard you. I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay and then I'm gone.
00:07:23I said now or I'm going to call security. You're going to drag your ass out.
00:07:27Suit yourself.
00:07:29Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:34Your grandfather has no authority here. You 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. And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:47You know what, Serena? Don'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.
00:08:12I mean, even your old fiance is telling you to get lost.
00:08:14So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost before I fucking-
00:08:26You broke it. You broke my petite.
00:08:28You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole?
00:08:30A hundred thousand dollars!
00:08:34We lost your balance. Maybe work on your course sheet.
00:08:37Julian, that is enough. Disrupting proceedings, assault, destruction of property.
00:08:43As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment effective immediately.
00:08:48Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:50Serena, you broke my watch. The gift you got me for my birthday, he has to pay for it.
00:08:55Okay, you got two options, asshole. Either pay up, or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:03Fine. I'll pay.
00:09:06Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:08What one hundred thousand dollars? It's a million.
00:09:11A million for that.
00:09:12It's a gift from Serena. It's priceless. A 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. It does have a point card.
00:09:22You break it, you buy it. That's the rule. Though in your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:32Well, you gonna wire me the money? Or are you as broke as you look? And if so,
00:09:38you can crawl out of here and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:43So what if you're Serena's Beyoncé? Look at her now. She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:51A million dollars. That's the final offer?
00:09:55What do you mean?
00:10:00Hi, I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:14I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:21You just called for a million dollars in cash, like a stakeout?
00:10:25What's next? A private army?
00:10:27All right, Julian. The charade ends now. Leave the company and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:31But our family's engagement is over. We are done.
00:10:36Are you sure?
00:10:37Whoa, whoa. You heard that, Julian? Your engagement's over. Now get out before I throw you-
00:10:42Get your hands off me!
00:10:47You put your fucking hands on me? You know what? I'm gonna wipe that smug-
00:10:51FUCKING LOOK OFF YOUR FACE!
00:10:56Enough!
00:11:01Mr. Brooks!
00:11:04That's David Brooks, president of Harveyview Bank. Where's a Wall Street titan doing an
00:11:08accomplished thing? Do you think it has to do with the hundred million loan?
00:11:11It can't be. That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:17Mr. Clark, the one million as requested.
00:11:28I'm shaking, I'm broken, we stand tall.
00:11:40What?
00:11:41What?
00:11:44Mr. Brooks, personally delivering cash to Julian?
00:11:48Wait, the money is- it's real?
00:11:50Wait, uh, delivered by Mr. Brooks? I mean, wait, who are you?
00:11:57It's much appreciated. You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:07Mr. Brooks, sir, we are so honored by your visit. My grandfather, he speaks of you often.
00:12:13I'm sure he'd love to get a round of golf scheduled with you sometime.
00:12:18Mr. Clark, is there anything else you require? My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:24No, thank you. You can go down. Of course.
00:12:33A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting? Unprofessional. I'm suspending the hundred
00:12:41million dollar deal. We'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision.
00:12:45Yes, sir. Mr. Brooks, I-
00:12:50Damien messed up such a huge loan. Let's see him explain this to the chairman. The chairman will have his
00:12:55head.
00:12:56This is all your fault, all right? You gotta fix this. You call him back here and get that loan
00:13:00reinstated,
00:13:01or I swear I'm gonna- You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:04Mr. Brooks, you're the one that's going to pay. As for us, one million in full, which makes this watch...
00:13:16It's mine. You arrogant son of a bitch!
00:13:24I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it? I bet you ought to sell your house
00:13:27to scrape this together, you fucking loser.
00:13:33But it's all mine now. Yeah, sure. The debt for the watch is settled. But can we talk about
00:13:38compensation for my laptop? That useless piece of junk, how much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:42Oh, I don't know. Maybe about a hundred million? A hundred million dollars!
00:13:52For a laptop? Have you lost your mind?
00:13:56A hundred million. For a laptop. Julian, the law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:03What you're committing is extortion. That's illegal!
00:14:06So, him extorting me for a million was legal then, right? By the way, where was your sound
00:14:10legal advice two minutes ago? Huh? That's a kisser. Enough! Julian, you know, I know you think you're right,
00:14:19but a stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars? A hundred million dollars? I... Dream on.
00:14:27Sure, a standard stellar isn't worth that much, but this isn't a standard, is it?
00:14:31What is it made of gold? Even then, it still wouldn't cost a hundred million fucking dollars!
00:14:36You know what? You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:46Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:48That's Billy Sullivan, SVP for Stellar. Here? You think it's about the 300 million dollar partnership here?
00:14:54300 million? That's huge for us, but pocket change for Stellar. Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:00Mr. Sullivan, uh, what an unexpected honor. I'm Sabrina Harper, uh, CEO. What do we owe the...
00:15:07Mr. Clark, the security have detected an urgent impact alert from your device,
00:15:12and the signal originated here. We were concerned for your safety and care immediately.
00:15:16Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian, too, because his laptop impact triggered an alarm. Unbelievable.
00:15:23Mr. Clark, are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine. It just took a fall.
00:15:28God, this damage is significant. With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate,
00:15:34this could be 30 million.
00:15:3930 million dollars? No, no, no, no. To fix a fucking laptop? That's impossible! There's no way!
00:15:45Are you questioning me? No, I just...
00:15:47Well, open your eyes. This is a one-off laptop with Stellar's quantum processors and proprietary
00:15:52components. You better pray that those data partitions are intact, or that compensation will
00:15:57ruin you. I've just had the critical, critical data corruption here. It's highly confidential files,
00:16:03high market value. I mean, with our declarations, this is at least 70 million dollars.
00:16:1170 million dollars? Mr. Clark has the data on his laptop registered with monetary values to the
00:16:17security division. All damages to our fullest extent. Here. Receipts for the hardware and the
00:16:24notarized value declarations for the data. See for yourself.
00:16:36Who carries around a hundred million dollar laptop?
00:16:43Who exactly are you? You don't get to know. In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:49And there's no way that there's a fucking laptop that costs a hundred million dollars. You know
00:16:53what? This is a fucking scam. These two, they're working together. I'm telling you, it's a con.
00:16:57Are you serious? I'm Blake Sullivan. I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:02I don't fly across the city a scam and nobody like you. Listen, I'm so... Miss Harper,
00:17:08this is the employee you hire. He's a fool. And it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:13Oh, by the way, our partnership deal? Consider it terminated. What?
00:17:18What? Um, Mr. Sullivan, please. Damien is just... He's stressy. He didn't mean...
00:17:25Save it. You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first. And you, if you dispute evaluations,
00:17:31we can settle it in court. My legal team has 965 lawyers. I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:40Steller's legal team is legendary. He never lost. Damien can't fight this. Hell,
00:17:46the entire Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this. He's done for.
00:17:53Sir, name is hell. Please.
00:17:59Please.
00:18:02Mr. Sullivan, Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation.
00:18:07Will that suffice?
00:18:09I'm just here to certify facts. You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:15Full payment, in my account, within three days.
00:18:20In that case, we're done here. Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else?
00:18:26Mr. Sullivan, are our partners?
00:18:28Mr. Harper, get your house in order first. Stellar has standards. We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:35That'll be all. Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:39Funny. Damien's lucky, huh? A hundred million on the line and you swoop in the cover for him.
00:18:44You know, I just hope that your father and your grandfather are as generous as you are.
00:18:49Whether her father or Chairman Harper approve is none of your goddamn business. We don't need someone like you worrying
00:18:55about it.
00:18:56He's right. Julianna, I give you my word. The full amount will be paid within three days, but under one
00:19:02condition.
00:19:04Our engagement ends for good. And you will leave Harper Enterprise. Now.
00:19:10You hear that, Julian?
00:19:12You know what? I'll admit it. Yeah, you got the money. But it's not about what you made. It's your
00:19:15family's fucking money.
00:19:16Now you're just a spoiled little trust fund baby who's been fired. So get the fuck out!
00:19:21Get the fuck out? One of us just torpedoed a hundred million dollar loan and a 300 million dollar deal.
00:19:29Remind me, which one of us should actually get the fuck out?
00:19:32Serena, I think it is actually time to call your grandfather. He could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:39Stop. Stop!
00:19:45This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper. Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:19:52Funny. Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill. Remind me, which one of us is the real boy
00:19:58toy?
00:20:00You.
00:20:10Get the fuck out!
00:20:12Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have. This is Harper Enterprise. I'm the one in
00:20:19charge here.
00:20:21Security, remove him.
00:20:25Julian, please, don't make us get physical.
00:20:27I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in. You really want to lay hands on me?
00:20:33Chairman Harper brought you in? Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:37Who do you think you are? You think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:41Julian, I've already given you more courtesy than you deserve.
00:20:44The more you cling on like this, the more disgusting you become to me.
00:20:49Do it.
00:20:52Looks like I won't need that phone call.
00:20:54Still running your mouth, huh? Move. Get him the fuck out of here.
00:21:02What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:06Stand down. All of you. You. Out of here. Now.
00:21:10Dad? Grandpa? What are you doing here?
00:21:18Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's going on today. I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:27Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:32Chairman Harper apologizing to Julian?
00:21:35Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:39Chairman Harper, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games. How could you possibly? Shut up!
00:21:51Serena, how dare you disrespect Julian!
00:21:55Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has. You can't just hit people!
00:21:59I wish we hit him more.
00:22:00Serena, do you even have any idea who Julian Clark is?
00:22:05We didn't tell you everything because of your ego. And I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:22:09You were going to announce everything once the engagement was formally set. But who knew?
00:22:15Serena, you've been blind. Julian is-
00:22:18Thomas, you can't force something that isn't there. No real feelings. No need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:24Julian, please understand. All of this is on us. Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harper
00:22:31family. Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:38Apologize to Julian, now!
00:22:40No! I don't care who you are Julian. To me, you're still just a spoiled brat who thinks of himself
00:22:48as some sort of genius.
00:22:49But in reality, all you know is playing video games. I see right through you. And I will not apologize
00:22:58to you!
00:22:59Serena, enough! Julian, she's just being foolish. Let me apologize.
00:23:03Save it. If Serena can't manage an apology herself, then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:12I issue my order. Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise. Cease every protective measure, effective immediately.
00:23:19Julian, please, don't. Without you, this place doesn't survive. Look!
00:23:26Oh! What?
00:23:32What? Oh, I guess you would've just pulled their orders. What do you mean?
00:23:35Hostile takeover. All of our investors pulled out. How can that be?
00:23:43Harper Enterprise stock plunges 30% in minutes, wiping out billions in market value.
00:23:49What? My entire division just stopped. We can't operate like this.
00:23:52A stunning reversal. Harper Enterprise's many allies withdraw their investments in an instant,
00:23:58leaving the group facing massive losses. Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:05Shocking Wall Street. Why did Harper Enterprise suddenly lose power? What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:13How is that possible? Are you attacking the company?
00:24:17No matter who is behind this, I, Serena, will never bow down to you.
00:24:24Harper Enterprise will not yield to any market attacks. Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks.
00:24:30It's Harper. This isn't a race. Our major partners are terminating their contracts.
00:24:34And our own liquidity can't cover the gas. If it continues, the stock will crash straight through the floor.
00:24:41What did you say? Damn it. How could that trash have such kind of power? Why him? I won't accept
00:24:48this. I won't.
00:24:50Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?
00:24:56Apologize to Julian. No!
00:25:15Serena, Serena, do not apologize. Harper Enterprise is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
00:25:21You really think we can't survive without him? Let's just get through this crisis and I swear,
00:25:25I will make him pay for everything that he has done to you.
00:25:32It's not your fucking fault. You apologize to Julian right now and get on your n-
00:25:38Dad! Damien! Damien! Dad, stop! Damien has only ever stood up for me.
00:25:44He is the only one who actually cares about me and I won't let you treat him like this.
00:25:47Stay out of the way. No!
00:25:50You really gonna go to war with Julian over this snake? Do you even have any idea who he really
00:25:56is?
00:25:57Whoever he is, it doesn't give him the right to just bully people like this. I cannot stand bullies
00:26:02who throw their weight around and today that is exactly what you look like to me.
00:26:07Serena, that is enough.
00:26:08So wait, you hate bullies who throw their weight around, right? What about this guy? What about him?
00:26:13He hides behind your name to steal other people's work. He throws tea on me in this very room.
00:26:18He squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a hundred thousand dollar watch. Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:25But you hate bullies, right? Hey, you're no saint. You're just biased.
00:26:33I've been engaged to you for the past six months. I have asked you out 37 times.
00:26:38Yeah, because I thought we should at least get to know each other. Every time I have asked you out,
00:26:43you said, I'm too busy with work. But that wasn't the truth. The truth is, is that you were too
00:26:49busy
00:26:49dating this sycophant. Listen to him sing your praises, right?
00:26:55Who's that? Oh, let me guess. Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:02Just ignore him. Is he still your fiancé? Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:10Just, I can't stand him. A spoiled heir who thinks the world revolves around him?
00:27:17So what if I did? Who I choose to hang out with is my own choice. We're engaged, not married.
00:27:24I can see
00:27:25whoever I want. Serena, shut up. No, I am not done. Damien has worked himself to the bone. He is
00:27:34driven and
00:27:35disciplined and when Harper first went public, he was a key reason that we made it. If you had even
00:27:41half his
00:27:41talent, Julian, maybe I would have said yes to you once. But you don't.
00:27:50Damien was a key reason you made it. That's your story, right?
00:27:53What is so funny? I mean, I'm laughing at just how foolish you are.
00:27:58Do you know why, for the past six months, all of your proposals have sailed through?
00:28:03Why every deal that you like happened to have closed? Why every time that you wanted a loan,
00:28:08the banks rolled out a special fast track for you?
00:28:10Because Damien is brilliant. Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way.
00:28:15Damien? Brilliant? That was Julian. Julian is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together.
00:28:24Serena. No, that is impossible. I don't believe it.
00:28:39Hey. Eyes up Serena. In the past six months, I've called in 47 separate connections and cleared a
00:28:44path for you. Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange. And you know, I made you Wall Street's
00:28:49business queen. That's Iron Gate, North Bridge, and even Silver Line. Those are all the top 50
00:28:54global giants. They've all been begging us behind the scenes. No wonder every project went so smoothly.
00:29:00Julian's the one with this kind of network. Damien's got some nerves stealing credit for something like
00:29:04this. That's a death wish. No, no, no. It's not true, huh? Harper Enterprise is what it is
00:29:13because of me and my hard work and my connections. Oh, you arrogant fool.
00:29:19Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:28All right, that's enough. I finally got the all clear for my grandfather. I can go home.
00:29:34So as of right now, our engagement is terminated. Julian, all of this has been our fault. But the
00:29:41engagement... Let him go. I don't need a fiancé who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:49Without my connections and my network, Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:54And it's going to go right back to where it was six months ago.
00:29:58Wait, wait, wait.
00:29:59You're just going to go home.
00:30:01Prepare yourselves.
00:30:03Julian. Julian.
00:30:04That's it.
00:30:05Julian.
00:30:08Serena, you silly, foolish, foolish girl.
00:30:13Grandpa, I have never been clearer. With or without him,
00:30:17I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:19Serena's right. Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper, I'm going to stand by Serena's side,
00:30:23and I'm going to give her everything that I've got.
00:30:26Crap. I'm going to beat the crap out of you once and for all.
00:30:30Dad, that is enough.
00:30:33Dad, Grandpa, I know you have your issues with Damien, but I believe he will prove himself to
00:30:40you, and so will I. I will show everyone here that what Harper achieved over the past six months
00:30:46was my work. It has nothing to do with Julian. This meeting is over.
00:30:53Serena, wait up.
00:30:56You, God, tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:04Serena, Serena. Don't even worry about that. I know our Enterprise took a huge hit today,
00:31:09but as long as we lock down Amber Group's Crescent Lake project, change the game,
00:31:13and everyone will still think that we're in control. Easy.
00:31:17The three billion dollar Crescent Lake project. If we can win that contract,
00:31:22we can wipe all the problems we've been facing. Damien, you've secured several of Amber Group's
00:31:28projects before, and I'm going to put this one in your hands too. It's not going to be a problem,
00:31:33right? No, no, absolutely. You're going to count on me. Amber Group's deputy VP of projects,
00:31:38and when you trust me clearly, he also spit his arms.
00:31:49Get the Crescent Lake contract ready. Same as always. Once the Harper team arrives,
00:31:54we hand it straight to them. Miss Lawson, we just got an update. Julian Clark has been kicked
00:31:58out of Harper Enterprise. The engagement is off. Serena fired him and ended it.
00:32:04Are you sure? Absolutely. Word is she listened to her assistant Damien who really stirred the pot,
00:32:11and then Serena personally pushed Julian out. Serena really thinks she got where she is because
00:32:16of Damien? That for your little lap dog? Then do we still hand the Crescent Lake project over to
00:32:22Harper Enterprise? Without Julian, Harper Enterprise really thinks it's worthy of Crescent Lake? Not a
00:32:28chance. Open it to public bidding. Yes, ma'am. Now that is an amazing shot, Mr. Brooks. Damien,
00:32:43Crescent Lake's public bid is coming up soon. How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:02What does this mean, huh? Mr. Brooks, why don't you do yourself a favor and take a closer look?
00:33:09That's one million in clean crypto, untraceable. Harper Enterprise is totally prepared to take on
00:33:16Crescent Lake. We just need you to give us a little extra attention. Oh my, Damien, you're too kind.
00:33:24Leave. Sure, it's a public bidding on paper, but as long as I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about.
00:33:33Sit tight. Contract's yours.
00:33:38Miss Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway.
00:33:44Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:34:13Well, um, friends, Julian.
00:34:18I heard Serena kicked you out. Six months of hard work down the drain. What does that feel?
00:34:26Oh, I see. So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit. Is that right?
00:34:32Of course. Not.
00:34:36I'm here to steal you. You see, since your engagement is off, I was thinking,
00:34:45how about you consider me, huh?
00:34:50Guys like us, we don't get to escape alliances. Our families will bear us off either way, so
00:34:58why pick a stranger when there's someone who actually knows you? You see? Childhood friends, same circles,
00:35:1115 years of school. We match, you know? We fit.
00:35:18Hang on. Nora, you're, are you saying this because you're drunk or do you-
00:35:30I'm not drunk, okay? You don't have to answer me tonight. Just think about it.
00:36:07I told you I'm not drunk, okay?
00:36:10Nora, your swimsuit come off. Oh, shit. I'm drunk.
00:36:16Nora, your swimsuit come off. Oh, shit. I'm drunk.
00:36:22I'm drunk.
00:36:35Miss Lawson, Amber Group's distinguished CEO. Allow me the pleasure of introducing myself.
00:36:43Oh, I am so sorry. Bad, bad timing. Truly terrible timing.
00:36:55Don't move. If that jacket slips for you in a second, we're finished.
00:37:00Okay, aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:02Amber Group's CEO get caught in a scandal at a pool party?
00:37:05Rumor can boost tomorrow's company's visibility,
00:37:08but I'm not letting the pictures of my breasts go through.
00:37:11Okay. Okay.
00:37:16But if you stay through to me like this for the rest of the night,
00:37:23I think my heart's going to skip on its chest.
00:37:37And suffer, okay?
00:37:40If you crush me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:49Please, Steve, walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:37:55Okay.
00:38:07Speak of the devil of all the times.
00:38:15No, this is a private party for Amber Group's CEO.
00:38:18You know what I lost?
00:38:20Not exactly the kind of place where anybody could just wander into.
00:38:23Oh, wait.
00:38:27Well, well.
00:38:28I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:32Feelings for Serena weren't that deep after all.
00:38:36Can I help you with something?
00:38:38Seriously? This woman's even better than Serena.
00:38:41How does a loser like Julian always get women?
00:38:44I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:38:46Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here, she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:38:52Pouring herself out like this?
00:38:55It's me all digger.
00:38:56Is that so?
00:38:58Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Chris and Luke project.
00:39:06What? You're bidding too?
00:39:07Yeah, I know you got connection and that's great, you know.
00:39:09But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:12Me? I got real talent, all right?
00:39:13And I'm gonna win Crescent Lake for Serena.
00:39:16You? You're just gonna fucking lose like you lose everything else.
00:39:20Good luck.
00:39:32See that?
00:39:34That is a shameless whore.
00:39:36That woman seems familiar.
00:39:39Listen man, you don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:42All right, come on. Let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:39:44Let's go socialize and maybe we'll run into the host of the party lost on yourself.
00:39:49And if we do, I'll make sure we're doing a good aggression.
00:40:10So that pretty boy Damien actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:15Tonight we're gonna see who's really on top.
00:40:18Okay. Manners, this is a public event.
00:40:21What? You've known me since we were kids. Why would I pretend around you?
00:40:27But if you like glassy, I can do glassy.
00:40:31Yeah. Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:42I'll let you get to it.
00:40:46Shall we?
00:41:04Julian.
00:41:07I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:09You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:13You know what? Mason Brooks, Amber Group's deputy VP of projects, already agreed to award the contract to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:23You can't win.
00:41:27I hear the Crescent Lake project is basically yours. Congratulations.
00:41:32Serena, you are the business queen of Wall Street.
00:41:35And with Damien backing you up, it's unstoppable.
00:41:37When the two of you take off, don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:40Of course. You know, we're gonna take care of you guys.
00:41:42Thank you so much.
00:41:50See that, Julian?
00:41:52Everybody already knows that Crescent Lake belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:55I suggest you walk out of here before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:41:59It's funny.
00:42:00You see, my Clark Group has deeper capital, better tech, and a stronger global record than Harper Enterprise.
00:42:06So, I'm just curious.
00:42:08Why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:10He recognizes Damien's talent, of course.
00:42:17I need to take this.
00:42:25My Julian.
00:42:28What century are you living in?
00:42:31You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:34Then what does?
00:42:36Ain't really that fucking stupid?
00:42:38Of course this.
00:42:41I paid Mason Brooks one million in crypto.
00:42:44What do you have that's gonna be that?
00:42:48You 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 the rules up top there, sweetheart.
00:42:57But hey, you're a very lovely, beautiful escort.
00:43:01Why don't you do us all a favor?
00:43:02Get up on that stage and give us a nice little poll show.
00:43:05Hey.
00:43:06Hey, I'm gonna tell you.
00:43:07You want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:12Because every time I give Mason Brooks a 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 of nerve.
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 CEO or something?
00:43:37Who gave you the fucking guts?
00:43:39It's adorable, no?
00:43:40Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:43:44Anti-anti-corruption?
00:43:58What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:03You hit me.
00:44:05You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:07I'm gonna have Mason Brooks crush you with one phone call.
00:44:13There he is.
00:44:14Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:15You're finished.
00:44:18Mr. Brooks.
00:44:19What do you mean my friend?
00:44:20There's a woman here.
00:44:22So she's gonna report you.
00:44:23Come on, please, teach her a lesson.
00:44:24Oh, report me?
00:44:26Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:27This woman right here.
00:44:32Ms. Lawson?
00:44:33She's even quoted the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:36Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:37What?
00:44:38What?
00:44:42This can't be.
00:44:45Go ahead, laugh.
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-taking whore.
00:44:54I mean, even if she rats you out, who's gonna believe this?
00:44:58Why are you hitting me?
00:44:59Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:01When did I ever take your money?
00:45:03I never took one cent.
00:45:05Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:07Idiots!
00:45:08Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:11Ms. Lawson, this Damien, he's a lunatic.
00:45:14He's making things up.
00:45:16Don't listen to him.
00:45:17I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:20Not once!
00:45:23Ms. Lawson?
00:45:26No, no, wait.
00:45:27You're Nora Lawson, Amber's group CEO?
00:45:30How is that possible?
00:45:32How is that fucking-
00:45:32Mr. Brooks!
00:45:33Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:35Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to 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?
00:45:50Ms. Lawson?
00:45:51These Harper Enterprise people, they're all out of their minds.
00:45:55They lie like the wind.
00:45:57I can't believe a word they say.
00:45:59Ms. Lawson?
00:46:01Ms. 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.
00:46:16Ms. Lawson, I am so sorry.
00:46:19Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being
00:46:23um, inappropriate, but I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:28He is blunt, yes, but his ability is exceptional.
00:46:34Please, give Harper Enterprise the contract and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:46:41Exceptional ability?
00:46:43Are you sure about that?
00:46:45Ms. Of course.
00:46:46If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:46:51Ms. You'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.
00:47:07She's upset because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:09So she wants revenge.
00:47:11So she's going to embarrass Harper Enterprise in front of everyone.
00:47:13So what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:15Let's go.
00:47:16Ms. Go?
00:47:17If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:21Even if Ms. Lawson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:25Serena, please.
00:47:26Okay, I'm sorry.
00:47:28Here we go now.
00:47:29All right, I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones, but 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...
00:47:50You want to understand the rules on top there, sweetheart?
00:47:54Technology capital.
00:47:56Useless fucking trash.
00:47:58What?
00:47:59Shit, she actually recorded it?
00:48:01And escort.
00:48:02So why don't you do us all a nice little favor, get up on the stage, give us a nice
00:48:05little poll show.
00:48:09Who is that?
00:48:11He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:14That's Damien Blackwell, Harper Enterprise's executive assistant.
00:48:17How do you not know him?
00:48:18All of the best Amber projects being sent to Harper Enterprise over the past six months,
00:48:23and now we know they were bought.
00:48:27That's not true.
00:48:28All of that's a lie.
00:48:29It's just not...
00:48:30Don't believe it.
00:48:31Just turn it up.
00:48:32Turn it up right now!
00:48:33Stop him!
00:48:34Stop him!
00:48:34Stop!
00:48:35Let go of me!
00:48:37Damien, you did this behind my back?
00:48:40This is your talent?
00:48:41Your ability?
00:48:43Serena, please just see us.
00:48:45Mr. Brooks' suspension.
00:48:46What a fucking ridiculous thing to Sammy.
00:48:48Who are you to say anything?
00:48:50What do you think, you're Amber Group CEO?
00:48:52Amber Group.
00:48:54Turn it off, please.
00:48:56Okay, okay.
00:48:56Ms. Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:48:58Just, please stop it!
00:48:59Please!
00:49:00Please!
00:49:02Bribery is one thing, but mistaking Ms. Lawson for an escort?
00:49:06A whore?
00:49:08He's fucking blind.
00:49:09The best part?
00:49:10He confessed right in front of her that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:14Genius.
00:49:15And Serena trusted him to be her assistant?
00:49:17I mean, what does that say about her judgment?
00:49:19Damien, you have disappointed me beyond words.
00:49:24Serena, I did it because I cared about you.
00:49:26Because I care about Harper Enterprise.
00:49:28Please, I'm happy.
00:49:28You told me the truth.
00:49:30Enough.
00:49:31Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:33Mason Brooks, you're fired.
00:49:35Effective immediately.
00:49:38I'm done.
00:49:40The Crescent Lake Project.
00:49:43Harper Enterprise is disqualified.
00:49:46Every single project Amber Group has done together with them will be suspended.
00:49:51The projects will be back for competitive bidding.
00:49:55No, no, you can't do that.
00:49:57Those projects are our next three years.
00:49:59They affect thousands of employees, their lives, their future.
00:50:03And why the person who hired Trash is called a talent?
00:50:08Real talent.
00:50:15And why the person who hired Trash is called a talent?
00:50:16Pathetic.
00:50:21Serena.
00:50:24Please, you gotta let me explain.
00:50:27Miss Lawson, wait!
00:50:28Serena!
00:50:37I just avenged you in front of a lot of people.
00:50:40Asking for a dinner isn't too much, right?
00:50:43Not at all.
00:50:45You pick my treat.
00:50:47Generous.
00:50:47Let's go.
00:50:49Time to rob the tycoon.
00:50:53Miss Lawson.
00:50:55Damien was wrong to bribe anyone.
00:50:57And I apologize on his behalf.
00:51:01Just please, give Harper Enterprise another chance.
00:51:05I will meet the highest standards.
00:51:07I will deliver a perfect result on every project.
00:51:11Perfect result?
00:51:12And what exactly guarantees that?
00:51:15Your empty suit assistant?
00:51:18Miss Lawson.
00:51:20Damien made a mistake.
00:51:22But his ability is exceptional.
00:51:26For six months, he managed every Harper Enterprise project flawlessly.
00:51:30No errors.
00:51:31No delays.
00:51:31If you don't pull this contract, I guarantee he will make sure you see his value.
00:51:40Managed flawlessly?
00:51:41He's not the only empty suit here.
00:51:45Year or two.
00:51:46Miss Lawson, you are crossing a line.
00:51:51I understand that you and Julian are close, and you want to get back at me for him.
00:51:57But humiliating someone like this, isn't that a little cruel?
00:52:00You really think I froze our cooperation because Damien and Bribe Mason?
00:52:06Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:08For six months, Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted from Ember Group.
00:52:15For one reason, Julian Clark.
00:52:19Damien has nothing to do with that.
00:52:22He was just a messenger boy who picked up the contracts.
00:52:25What?
00:52:26When Julian was there, bribe or no bribe, Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:32But now, Julian's gone, so the special treatment is gone.
00:52:38Damien's little arriving incident?
00:52:40It was just a convenient excuse to take everything back.
00:52:43Understand now?
00:52:48And about those flawless projects, Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly because Damien is brilliant.
00:52:55It ran smoothly because Julian called every partner, every supplier, every gatekeeper and cleared the path for you.
00:53:04Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:08No.
00:53:10That's not true.
00:53:12I don't believe in you.
00:53:13You don't believe me?
00:53:14Then watch.
00:53:16Watch what happens when Julian leaves.
00:53:19Let's see if your exceptional Damien can keep everything perfect when Julian is not there to hold the world together
00:53:27for him.
00:53:28Come on, let's go.
00:53:37Julian, is what she's saying true?
00:53:40You were right about one thing, Serena.
00:53:43Julian and I are closer than you thought.
00:53:45That's why it disgusts me watching him waste his life away on a selfish and blind woman like you.
00:53:57No, no, no, Serena, Serena, do not listen to her nonsense.
00:54:01Harper's success is based off of my hard work.
00:54:04Okay, Nora Lawson, she's attacking and slandering my name to defend Julian.
00:54:09You have to believe me.
00:54:10Please, you have to understand.
00:54:11Because of you, Crescent Lake is gone.
00:54:15Every Amber project is gone.
00:54:18Harper Enterprise is on the edge of collapse.
00:54:20And you're asking me to trust you?
00:54:23How?
00:54:23Tell me how.
00:54:25Please, just listen to me.
00:54:27Okay, yeah, we lost Amber group, but we're not finished.
00:54:31I mean, we still have the partners and the CEOs.
00:54:33I mean, they love me.
00:54:33They absolutely love and adore me.
00:54:36I promise.
00:54:37You know what?
00:54:37Matter of fact, I'm going to call and I'm going to get you some new projects right now.
00:54:44Hello, Mr. Foster, it's Damien here.
00:54:46I hear the Grandview Plaza is taking bids and Harper Enterprise.
00:54:50You know, we would absolutely love.
00:54:53Harper Enterprise?
00:54:54Who the hell is that?
00:54:55Do you think you're even in the same league as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:00Mr. Foster, what do you mean?
00:55:03Last time we spoke, you said that you believed in the Harper Enterprise and that you would love
00:55:08to work together.
00:55:08Listen up.
00:55:10That's because Julian Clark was in your damn enterprise.
00:55:13I was giving him respect.
00:55:15You don't flatter yourself, bunch of blind dumbasses.
00:55:19Call me again and I'll block your fucking number.
00:55:22So what really was Julian?
00:55:24No, no, that's not possible.
00:55:26I don't believe that.
00:55:28I don't.
00:55:29Hello, Mr. Parker, it's Damien.
00:55:30I was hoping to talk about future collaborations.
00:55:33Damien, you've got the fucking nerve to call me.
00:55:36I gave Harper Enterprise projects because of Mr. Clark.
00:55:40And then you turned around and claimed you closed the deal?
00:55:43Who gave you the audacity?
00:55:45Shameless trash?
00:55:50Ms. Parker.
00:55:52Ms. Parker, no.
00:55:53No, goddammit!
00:55:55I don't believe this.
00:55:56I don't believe this was fucking Julian this whole fucking time.
00:56:00Goddammit.
00:56:01Sorry, sorry.
00:56:03Um, hello.
00:56:05Mr. Turner, it's Damien.
00:56:07Damien, who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:09Calling me directly?
00:56:11Learned some manners.
00:56:14Julian was polite enough to tolerate you playing sideman with his fiance.
00:56:17I'm not, you bastard tooie.
00:56:21Mr. Turner?
00:56:22Mr. Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:26What the fuck is happening?
00:56:27Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:34Ms. Harper?
00:56:35This is bad.
00:56:37Our partners are flooding us with messages.
00:56:39They're suspending contracts, pulling out a deal.
00:56:41Wait, what is happening?
00:56:43They said before they only worked with Harper Enterprise because Julian Clark backed us.
00:56:48Now that he's gone, they don't trust us with their project.
00:56:51Julian.
00:56:53It's Julian again.
00:56:59It's true.
00:57:00They only gave us deals because of Julian.
00:57:05Julian!
00:57:05No, no, no, no, no, please.
00:57:06Okay?
00:57:07They're just saying that because Julian has been paying them off.
00:57:10Think about it.
00:57:11Okay?
00:57:11You know what?
00:57:12Just give you some time and I'll get you some 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, you fraud, Damien.
00:57:21All those CEOs.
00:57:24They only had you pick up contracts from them.
00:57:26And you told me you negotiated the deals.
00:57:30I swear, I didn't know that they wouldn't.
00:57:34Get out of my sight.
00:57:37Now!
00:57:51Look!
00:57:56Damnit, no!
00:57:57I was this close to locking Serena down.
00:57:59Stepping into the upper circle. I'm not letting it end like this
00:58:08Serena you really thought you were smart, but you're really just pathetic trash
00:58:17Julian you're nothing
00:58:29Dad warned you, Grandpa warned you, and you still wouldn't listen
00:58:37You ignored everything Julian did and worshipped a con artist like Damien
00:58:55And now look at you projects gone company collapsing
00:59:05Idiot. You arrogant, stupid idiot. I'm so stupid.
00:59:18Julian, I'm sorry
00:59:27I'm so sorry. I'm sorry to listen. I know I messed up
00:59:39Julian, I'm sorry. I know I know I was wrong. Look, always damn Julian
00:59:48Julian, come back, okay? Please come back
00:59:59Dan back
01:00:05You don't have to be scared
01:00:07Harper Enterprise's business queen is so much better than those cheap girls
01:00:12Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine
01:00:16Oh, Damien! You sick bastard!
01:00:20You sick bastard!
01:00:25You really mean it
01:00:26I love you
01:00:28You're fucking...
01:00:29I'm telling you the truth! I made it!
01:00:32Okay, I promise
01:00:33I'll treat you well
01:00:38You fucking monster dead!
01:00:40Get off me please!
01:00:42I'm begging you, don't!
01:00:43Just say yes
01:00:45What are you doing?
01:00:50I'm the dead!
01:00:52I tried being nice to you, I fucking tried, but you keep fighting me back
01:00:59I keep 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.
01:01:07No!
01:01:08Help!
01:01:09Help!
01:01:11Julian!
01:01:12Julian!
01:01:13Help!
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 place.
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.
01:01:46Julian!
01:01:47I am sorry.
01:01:49I know.
01:01:50I was wrong.
01:01:52I just...
01:01:53Please come back.
01:01:54Julian!
01:01:55Our reservation is in ten minutes.
01:01:58Let's go.
01:02:07Serena.
01:02:08I told you over and over and over again that Damien was not a good man.
01:02:17And you refused to listen.
01:02:21And Julian, if 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 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...
01:02:43I'll apologize to Julian and I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:50The problem with that is that you may feel that way, but Julian might not.
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, put out a city-wide bolo on that bastard Damien.
01:03:14He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:17We're not letting that go.
01:03:20No.
01:03:21We're not.
01:03:22Understood.
01:03:23We're good.
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.
01:04:09Every group backs you up, no questions asked.
01:04:13But first, you have to accept the gift properly.
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 and any man would've, 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 wouldn't 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, perfect match they can show off at Wallace.
01:05:11Wait, what are you talking about?
01:05:12Are you serious?
01:05:13Yes, Julian.
01:05:15My uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of
01:05:20me permanently.
01:05:20But I don't want a stranger.
01:05:22I want you.
01:05:23I love you.
01:05:27Julian, let'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, Julian.
01:05:51Okay.
01:05:53I'll marry you.
01:05:55Are you serious?
01:05:57No take backs.
01:05:58No take backs.
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...
01:06:10So impatient.
01:06:14It's like you said.
01:06:17If I accept the gift, then 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, kind of, you kind of remember that for the rest of
01:06:51your life.
01:06:51Details.
01:06:53Those are just tiny details.
01:06:57Look like big details to me.
01:07:01Julian.
01:07:02Julian.
01:07:04Can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:07Serena, 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 and I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:18And if you take me back, just 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?
01:07:51Men like him?
01:07:54If you treat him like trash, someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:07:59Listen carefully, we are all together now, so better keep your distance.
01:08:03If you don't, I 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.
01:08:24Mm-hmm.
01:08:32So how did it go?
01:08:34Julian?
01:08:35Just with Nora.
01:08:37Oh, God.
01:08:40Nora.
01:08:42Nora Lawson.
01:08:43CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:45Of course.
01:08:47You know, Serena, it's an elite like Julian.
01:08:51The second you let go, somebody comes and grabs him.
01:08:54You don't get another chance.
01:08:57God gave our family a chance.
01:08:59And we blew it.
01:09:01God, forgive the Harpers.
01:09:04Please.
01:09:06Ms. Hopper, Finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:10Hopper Enterprise's cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:13If we don't act immediately, we 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 wasn't going to lend to us now.
01:09:25How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:27This is my fault, okay?
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.
01:09:42And the moment he's gone, I can't do anything.
01:09:46Dad.
01:09:48Grandpa, I'm so sorry.
01:09:50I ruined Harpers Enterprise.
01:09:52I ruined everything.
01:09:54Dad, you're the one who arranged the engagement with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:09:59So maybe you should go talk to him and see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:05Yes, Grandpa.
01:10:07Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:09If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:12Lark 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.
01:10:28Still, for your sake and for your future, and for our future, we'll fight.
01:10:41Serena, when you see Julian's grandfather, your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:50If he forgives you, only then will you know that you have a chance to get Julian back.
01:10:57Understood, Grandpa.
01:10:59For the Harper family, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:17Welcome.
01:11:18You must be here for Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement 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, how is this all happening so fast?
01:11:35What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:37Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson have known each other since they were born,
01:11:40and everyone is so happy that they're finally getting married.
01:11:44Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:47You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:11:50Then, please leave.
01:11:52Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:12:00If there's an engagement party, that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:08And that means we're done.
01:12:11There's no more chances left.
01:12:14We're leaving.
01:12:15Is this my punishment?
01:12:19All right, everyone.
01:12:21Big smiles.
01:12:25Whoo!
01:12:38Julian!
01:12:39Are you okay?
01:12:41Hey.
01:12:45What is it?
01:12:48It's nothing.
01:12:49Come on, dinner's almost ready.
01:12:52Shh!
01:13:04Dad!
01:13:06The Harpers!
01:13:07My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:12For him,
01:13:14his six months at Harper Enterprise,
01:13:17it was a total humiliation.
01:13:20We've shown to Harper more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:26Understood, Dad.
01:13:34Okay, enough, Serena.
01:13:36Stop.
01:13:37You can't drink this away.
01:13:39Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:13:42If you don't get up,
01:13:44it's over.
01:13:46Just leave me the fuck alone.
01:13:48Okay?
01:13:49Just let me drink.
01:13:50I'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.
01:13:59Don't move.
01:14:00I'll be right back, and then I am taking you home.
01:14:03No.
01:14:04I'm okay.
01:14:11No.
01:14:13Nora...
01:14:15Okay, Nora.
01:14:16Be honest.
01:14:17You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:20You just got engaged,
01:14:22and 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 gonna 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. If 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. Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months.
01:15:05And it wasn't just because he's grandfather watery.
01:15:08Then why?
01:15:11Because Serena is his type.
01:15:15Wait, what?
01:15:18I am Julian's type?
01:15:22No way!
01:15:23I'm serious. The girls Julian liked growing up? That 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?
01:15:48Serena must have destroyed him. I have to get married fast. I cannot give her a single chance.
01:15:55So that's what it was. Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months because I'm his type.
01:16:01He likes me. That means I still have a chance. I still have a chance.
01:16:06This is my last shot. I am not wasting it.
01:16:09But I'm not wasting it.
01:16:15I'm not wasting it.
01:16:16I'm not wasting it.
01:16:17Where is she?
01:16:23Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:39Wow, they look perfect together.
01:16:43They're childhood sweethearts, the whole fantasy.
01:16:45Oh my god, brilliant!
01:16:48And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:03Wait!
01:17:10Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:14Who is that?
01:17:15Is that Serena Harper, CEO of Harper Enterprise?
01:17:18You mean the woman who rode on Julian's back to the IPO
01:17:21and then kicked him out like he was nothing?
01:17:23Without 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
01:17:41humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:46I know, I was wrong, totally wrong, okay?
01:17:50Just please, give 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.
01:18:07No, please.
01:18:08I'll do anything.
01:18:09Just stop.
01:18:14I know you hate me because I rejected you 37 times,
01:18:20but I'll make it up to you.
01:18:22I'll chase you 37 times, 370 times, whatever it did.
01:18:27Can 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?
01:18:36Why?
01:18:42Simple question.
01:18:43Do you love me?
01:18:47I...
01:18:48Exactly.
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?
01:19:04No, that...
01:19:05That's not true.
01:19:07Just please.
01:19:09Listen.
01:19:10Please, listen.
01:19:10Enough, Serena.
01:19:12When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise,
01:19:13do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:17Let me ask you this.
01:19:19If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed,
01:19:21if your value kept climbing,
01:19:23would you still be here standing in front of me today?
01:19:28I...
01:19:28No, I...
01:19:29No, 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 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...
01:19:47That'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.
01:19:59Your donor.
01:19:59Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:02But the moment I stop being useful,
01:20:04you will kick me away again without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:07No.
01:20:08No.
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...
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.
01:20:43But Nora?
01:20:46She has cared for me since we were kids.
01:20:51When 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,
01:21:03she 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.
01:21:28I'm begging you, just please let me explain.
01:21:31Please.
01:21:32Please, let me, please stop.
01:21:33Let me go.
01:21:34Julian, please don't.
01:21:37Crashing 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.
01:21:47Totally vampire-drained and dry.
01:21:48He doesn't seem.
01:21:49Hang on close.
01:22:07I don't have to wait to see him.
01:22:08His dad has died.
01:22:08He doesn't seem to do that until we get home.
01:22:13He was as sick.
01:22:18Mr. Clark!
01:22:37I'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. You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:22:5515 years, wow. Congratulations.
01:22:58You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:04You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:07You've seen how you all work.
01:23:08Mr. Clark, bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud.
01:23:18I think you want to be able to smile.
01:23:20So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms, and once you sign them, hand over your badges,
01:23:28or you're going to rob him, Jim.
01:23:31This, this is it.
01:23:47Are you satisfied now?
01:23:50Satisfied?
01:23:52Thomas 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 didn'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.
01:24:26I won't accept it.
01:24:28Julian, watch out!
01:24:29Julian!
01:24:34Let me go!
01:24:35Fucking let me go!
01:24:36I already spared you.
01:24:38You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:40Yo, take him to the police.
01:24:41Get the best lawyer money can buy.
01:24:42I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:44Fucking coward!
01:24:44You're a fucking coward!
01:24:46Hiding behind your goddamn family's money!
01:24:48No, no, fight me!
01:24:49101!
01:24:49101!
01:24:50Let the guards go!
01:24:51You don't have the fucking guts to you!
01:24:57Hey, Julian.
01:24:58What was that?
01:25:00Just staking out the trash.
01:25:03Are you done here?
01:25:04Julian?
01:25:05No.
01:25:06Let's go.
01:25:13I was wrong!
01:25:15Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:17Julian, I was wrong!
