Short filmTranscript
00:00:03Breaking news. Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack. In the past hour alone, the conglomerate has lost over
00:00:10a billion dollars in Arkham's situation.
00:00:13Don't be up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:16Don't be up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:19Don't be up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:23No, you have to.
00:00:24I need you to buy the stock, alright?
00:00:25You gotta do this now.
00:00:28This isn't some random dip. Whoever's shorting us came prepared. They're tearing us apart.
00:00:32We can't hold the line. We're about to become the laughingstock of Wall Street.
00:00:36No, no, we're not finished.
00:00:38We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:43The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:48Julian, we need you. Again.
00:00:51Shit. Shit.
00:00:55Give me a sec.
00:01:00Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:03Good, good, yeah. I just need to ask for a little favor.
00:01:12Julian, you saved my ass last time. I owe you. I'm moving liquidity to Harper now.
00:01:19Great.
00:01:24The stock price is recovering. How is that possible?
00:01:27Did Mr. Clark just fix this with a few calls?
00:01:30Julian, what would Harper do without you?
00:01:33Julian, Damien's assistant called. Called in all hands. All department leads. Conference room in ten minutes. Chairman's orders.
00:01:41Why would Damien call in the meeting? He despises you. Watch your back.
00:02:12All right, let's check.
00:02:13Let's check.
00:02:16Let's check.
00:02:16neutralized the short attack against Harper and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:21Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:29Since when does Damien know how to take over from a hole in the ground?
00:02:32He must have stole this wing from someone else.
00:02:34Remember what he did to Anthony from investments? Damien took credit for his
00:02:38deal. Anthony pushed back and Damien used this pool with Serena to get him fired.
00:02:47Hello? Is there a problem? Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the fire,
00:02:54the least that every single one of you can do.
00:02:55Damien. Of course. Questions? I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:11Julian, our company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:16Keep sharing. I'm listening.
00:03:20This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge.
00:03:24Wait, I'm sorry, everyone. I forgot. You're just the resident good for nothing. My strategies,
00:03:31you probably couldn't comprehend them, let alone ask a decent goddamn question.
00:03:39Well, since you're so keen on getting my contribution, let's start with a question.
00:03:44Which funds were behind the short attack? And what was their distinct objective? And what
00:03:48specifically was their entry strategy? Doesn't matter. And what matters is that I stopped.
00:03:53You can't even name the enemy? All right, fine. Next question. Which firms did you guys recruit as white
00:03:59knights? And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:03Well, uh, well, um, well, I, uh, well,
00:04:09Well, you can't even name the basics. All right. So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a
00:04:14cross-functional war room, the countermeasures for a potential proxy fight, or which SCC clauses
00:04:19could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:23Let's be real. You are nothing but a gloryhound who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees the video.
00:04:40You, a useless, game-addicted, fucking loser, dare to question me? You know what, Clark? You're
00:04:46fucking fired! Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:59You hear that, Dad? I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:05Understood. Now, hearing's not enough. I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company now.
00:05:15You took our family's market cap and raised it to three trillion dollars. You proved everything that
00:05:22needs to be proved. Now, uh, time to think about your marriage. Harper's, uh, old friends, good staff,
00:05:30you know? Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper. What you're talking about is marrying me off to
00:05:35some strangers. Feelings could grow, brat. Our families go way back. Your marriage will definitely
00:05:41be a happy one. My life, my choice. Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make
00:05:47sure that-
00:05:47Enough! Oh, that's it. You're going to do this. I've already arranged everything. You're starting with
00:05:53the Harper family company today. Go work with Serena and date her properly, hmm?
00:06:02You refuse. Okay. Nurse, Dr. Ann, check it out. My own grandson won't listen. What's the point?
00:06:09Okay. Let the heart attack take me now. Okay, all right. I'll go.
00:06:14I know when I pass, okay? For years, you've carried this family on your back. We have more now than
00:06:22we ever
00:06:22was. The Harper's never in trouble. We do not abandon our own. Use that brilliant head of yours and help
00:06:32them.
00:06:33Please, for me. Fine. I'll do it. I hear you. Thank you.
00:06:47For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked, using every resource, every contact to help her.
00:06:53I pulled Harper Enterprise from the brink of bankruptcy and made it soar. I made Serena
00:06:57Harper the queen of this city's business world. And for what? So she could give my triumphs and
00:07:02victories to that sycophant Damien? It's time to come home.
00:07:12You asked for my opinion and you couldn't handle it. So, pathetic.
00:07:17I said you're fired. Get your shit and get the fuck out of my door.
00:07:21I heard you. I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay and then I'm gone.
00:07:25I said now or I'm going to call security and you're going to drag your ass out.
00:07:29Suit yourself. Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:36Your grandfather has no authority here. You will leave. Now, do not disrupt this company any further.
00:07:43Serena, is that really the best play you want to make here?
00:07:46I will not repeat it. And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:49You know what, Serena? Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:58You don't push your luck, Clark. The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the
00:08:03first place is because of your dusty fucking engagement to Serena. And you have the audacity
00:08:07to act all high and mighty. You're fucking nothing. You're a little trust fund, entitled piece of
00:08:13shit baby. I mean, even your Beyonce is telling you to get lost. So why don't you do yourself a
00:08:17goddamn favor and get lost before I fucking report what?
00:08:28You broke it. You broke my petite. You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole? A hundred thousand dollars.
00:08:36We lost your balance. Maybe work on your question. Julian, that is enough.
00:08:42Disrupting proceedings? Assault? Destruction of property? As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm
00:08:48terminating your employment. Effective immediately. Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:53Serena, you broke my watch. The gift you got me for my birthday, he has to pay for it. Okay,
00:08:57you got two options, asshole. Either pay up or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:05Fine. I'll pay. Is it a hundred thousand dollars? What? One hundred thousand dollars. It's a million.
00:09:13A million for that. It's a gift from Serena. It's priceless. A million dollars being generous.
00:09:18You can fucking ask anyone in this room, huh? A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value. He does
00:09:23have a point card. You break it, you buy it. That's the rule. Though on your salary, it might take
00:09:29a few
00:09:29lifetimes. Well, you gonna wire me the money? Or are you as broke as you look? And if so,
00:09:41you can crawl out of here and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you. So what if
00:09:47you're Serena's
00:09:48Beyonce? Look at her now. She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward. A million dollars.
00:09:55What's the final offer? What do you mean?
00:10:02Hi, I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:16I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters. Thank you.
00:10:23You just called for a million dollars in cash? Like a stakeout? What's next? A private army?
00:10:29All right, Julian. The charade ends now. Leave the company and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:33But our family's engagement is over. We are done. You sure? Whoa, whoa. You heard that,
00:10:41Julian? Your engagement's over. Now get out before I throw you- Get your hands off me!
00:10:49Put your fucking hands on me. You know what? I'm gonna wipe that smug-
00:10:53Fuckin' look off your face! Enough!
00:11:03Mr. Brooks.
00:11:07That's David Brooks, president of Harveyview Bank. What's a Wall Street titan doing on a conference room?
00:11:12Do you think it has to do with the 100 million loan? I can't be. That amount isn't worth Mr.
00:11:16Brooks' personal
00:11:17full? Mr. Clark. The one million. As requested.
00:11:30I'm shaking, I'm broken, we stand tall.
00:11:42What? Mr. Brooks, personally delivering cash? To Julian? Wait, the money is real?
00:11:54Delivered by Mr. Brooks? I mean, wait, who are you?
00:12:03Mr. Brooks, sir. We are so honored by your visit. My grandfather, he speaks of you often. I'm sure he'd
00:12:17love to get a round of golf scheduled with me sometime.
00:12:20Mr. Clark. Is there anything else you require? My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:26No, thank you. You can go down. Of course.
00:12:36A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting? Unprofessional. I'm suspending the 100
00:12:43million dollar deal. We'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision.
00:12:47Yes, sir. Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:53Damien messed up such a huge loan. Let's see him explain this to the chairman. The chairman will have
00:12:57his head. This is all your fault, all right? You gotta fix this. You call him back here and get
00:13:03that loan reinstated or I swear I'm gonna... You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:08As for us...
00:13:11One million. In full. Which makes this watch...
00:13:19It's mine.
00:13:20You arrogant.
00:13:22Son of a bitch!
00:13:26I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it? I bet you had to sell your house
00:13:29to scrape this
00:13:30together, you fucking loser.
00:13:36But it's all mine now.
00:13:38Yeah, sure. The debt for the watch is settled. But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:42That useless piece of junk, how much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:45Oh, I don't know. Maybe about...
00:13:47A hundred million?
00:13:49A hundred million dollars!
00:13:54For a laptop? Have you lost your mind?
00:13:58A hundred million. For a laptop. Julian, the law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:05What you're committing is extortion. That's illegal.
00:14:08So, him extorting me for a million was legal then, right? By the way, where was your sound legal
00:14:13advice two minutes ago? Huh? That's a concern.
00:14:16Enough! Julian, you know, I know you think you're right, but a stellar laptop costs a few thousand
00:14:24dollars? A hundred million dollars? I... Dream on.
00:14:29Sure, a standard stellar isn't worth that much, but this isn't a standard.
00:14:34What is it, made of gold? Even then, it still wouldn't cost a hundred million
00:14:37fucking dollars. You know what? You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:48Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:50That's Bill Sullivan, SVP for Stellar. Here? You think it's about the 300 million
00:14:55dollar partnership deal? 300 million? That's huge for us, but pocket change for
00:15:00Stellar. Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person? Mr. Sullivan, uh, what an unexpected honor. I'm
00:15:07Sabrina Harper, uh, CEO to what do we owe the... Mr. Clark, the security have detected an urgent
00:15:13impact alert from your device, and the signal originated here. We were concerned for your
00:15:17safety and cater immediately. Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian, too? Because his laptop impact
00:15:22triggered an alarm? Unbelievable. Mr. Clark, are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine. It just took a fall.
00:15:30God, this damage is significant. With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate, this could be 30 million.
00:15:4130 million dollars? No, no, no, no. To fix a fucking laptop? That's impossible! There's no way!
00:15:47Are you questioning me? No, I just... I'll open your eyes. This is a one-off laptop with Stellar's quantum
00:15:53processors and proprietary components. You better pray that those data partitions are intact, or that
00:15:59compensation will ruin you. I just had the critical, critical data corruption here. It's highly
00:16:04confidential files, high market value. I mean, with our declarations, this is at least 70 million dollars.
00:16:12What? That's 70 million dollars! Mr. Clark has the data on his laptop registered with monetary values
00:16:19to the security division. All damages to our fullest extent. Here. Receipts for the hardware and the
00:16:27notarized value declarations for the data. See for yourself.
00:16:39Who carries around a hundred million dollar laptop?
00:16:45Who exactly are you? You don't get to know. In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:52And there's no way that there's a fucking laptop that costs a hundred million dollars! You know what?
00:16:56This is a fucking scam. These two, they're working together. I'm telling you, it's a con!
00:17:00Are you serious? I'm Blake Sullivan. I'm the Senior Vice President of Stellar.
00:17:04I don't fly across the city a scam and nobody like you. Listen, I have someone. This Harper,
00:17:10this is the employee you hire. He's a fool, and it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:16Oh, by the way, our partnership deal? Consider it terminated. What?
00:17:21What? Um, Mr. Sullivan, please. Damien is just... He's stressed. He didn't mean...
00:17:27Save it. You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first. And you, if you dispute evaluations,
00:17:34we can settle it in court. My legal team has 965 lawyers. I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:42You take care of it.
00:17:43Steller's legal team is legendary. He never lost. Damien can't fight this. Hell, the entire
00:17:49Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this. He's done for.
00:17:55So, may I not help? Please.
00:18:01Please.
00:18:05Mr. Sullivan, Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation. Will that suffice?
00:18:11I'm just here to certify facts. You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:18Full payment in my account within three days. In that case, we're done here. Mr. Clark,
00:18:26you call me with anything else. I'll do it. Mr. Sullivan, our partners...
00:18:31Ms. Harper, get your house in order first. Stellar has standards. We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:38That'll be all. Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:40That's funny. Damien's lucky, huh? A hundred million on the line and you swoop in the cover for him.
00:18:46You know, I just hope that your father and your grandfather are as generous as you are.
00:18:52Whether her father or Chairman Harper approve is none of your goddamn business. We don't need someone
00:18:57like you worrying about it. He's right. Julianna, I give you my word. The full amount will be paid
00:19:03within three days, but under one condition. Our engagement ends for good. And you will leave
00:19:10Harper Enterprise. Now. You hear that, Julianna? You know what? I'll admit it. Yeah, you got the money,
00:19:16but it's not about what you made. It's your family's fucking money. And now you're just a spoiled
00:19:20little trust fund baby who's been fired. So get the fuck out! Get the fuck out?
00:19:26One of us just torpedoed a hundred million dollar loan and a 300 million dollar deal. Remind me,
00:19:32which one of us should actually get the fuck out? Serena, I think it is actually time to call your
00:19:37grandfather. He could definitely settle all of this. Stop. Stop!
00:19:48This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper. Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:19:55Funny. Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill. Remind me, which one of us is the real boy
00:20:00toy?
00:20:02You. Get the fuck out! Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have.
00:20:18This is Harper Enterprise. I'm the one in charge here. Security, remove him.
00:20:27Julian, please, don't make us get physical. I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in.
00:20:32You really want to lay hands on me? Chairman Harper brought you in? Julian,
00:20:38have you lost your fucking mind? Who do you think you are? You think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:44Julian, I've already given you more courtesy than you deserve. The more you cling on like this,
00:20:48the more disgusting you become to me. Do it. Looks like I won't need that phone call.
00:20:57Still running your mouth, huh? Move. Get him the fuck out of here.
00:21:05What the hell is going on in here? Stand down! All of you! You! Out of here! Now!
00:21:13Dad? Grandpa? What are you doing here? Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's
00:21:24that's going on today. I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:30Please accept my apology for everything. What? Chairman Harper apologizing to Julian?
00:21:38Grandpa, what are you doing? Chairman Harper, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games.
00:21:45How could you possibly? Shut up!
00:21:54I'm sorry. How dare you disrespect Julian? Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has.
00:22:00You can't just hit people. I wish we hit him more.
00:22:03Serena, do you even have any idea who Julian Clark is? We didn't tell you everything because
00:22:09of your ego. And I didn't want to hurt your feelings. You were going to announce everything
00:22:13once the engagement was formally set. But who knew? Serena, you've been blind.
00:22:20Julian is- Thomas, you can't force something that isn't there. No real feelings. No need to go
00:22:25forward with the engagement. Julian, please understand. All of this is on us.
00:22:31Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harperfin. Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:41Apologize to Julian, now!
00:22:43No! I don't care who you are, Julian. To me, you're still just a spoiled brat who thinks of himself
00:22:50as
00:22:51some sort of genius. But in reality, all you know is playing video games. I see right through you and
00:22:59I
00:22:59will not apologize to you! Serena, enough! Julian, she's just being foolish. Let me apologize.
00:23:06Save it. If Serena can't manage an apology herself, then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:15issue my order. Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise. Cease every protective measure
00:23:21effective immediately. Julian, please, don't. Without you, this place doesn't survive. Look!
00:23:35What? Oh, I guess you would have just pulled the orders. What do you mean, hostile takeover?
00:23:39All of my investors pulled out. How can that be?
00:23:46Harper Enterprise stock plunges 30% in minutes, wiping out billions in market value.
00:23:52What? My entire division just stopped. We can't operate like this.
00:23:55A stunning reversal. Harper Enterprise's many allies withdraw their investments in an instant,
00:24:01leaving the group facing massive losses. Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:08Shocking Wall Street. Why did Harper Enterprise suddenly lose power? What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:16How is that possible? Are you attacking the company?
00:24:20No matter who is behind this, I, Serena, will never bow down to you!
00:24:27Harper Enterprise will not yield to any market attacks. Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks!
00:24:32Ms. Harper, this isn't a race. Our major partners are terminating their contracts.
00:24:37And our own liquidity can't cover the gaps! If this continues, the stock will crash straight through the floor!
00:24:44What did you say?
00:24:46Dammit! How could that trash have such kind of power? Why him? I won't accept this! I won't!
00:24:52Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?
00:24:58Apologize to Julian! No!
00:25:05Serena! Apologize! Serena! Serena! Serena, do not apologize! Harper Enterprise is worth hundreds of billions of dollars!
00:25:23You really think we can't survive without him? Let's just get through this crisis and I swear I will make
00:25:28him pay for EVERYTHING that he has done to you!
00:25:31Oh! No!
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:34Ugh!
00:25:35No, your fucking fault!
00:25:36You apologize to Julian right now! Get on your n-
00:25:39Ugh!
00:25:40Dad!
00:25:41Oh!
00:25:42Damien! Damien!
00:25:43Dad, stop!
00:25:45Damien has only ever stood up for me!
00:25:47He is the only one who actually cares about me and I won't let you treat him like this!
00:25:50Stay out of the way!
00:25:51No!
00:25:53You really gonna go to war with Julian over this snake?!
00:25:57Do you even have any idea who he really is?!
00:25:59Whoever he is, it doesn't give him the right to just bully people like this!
00:26:03I cannot stand bullies who throw their weight around and today that is exactly what you look like to me!
00:26:10Serena, that is enough!
00:26:11So wait, you hate bullies who throw their weight around, right? What about this guy? What about him?
00:26:16He hides behind your name to steal other people's work!
00:26:19He throws tea on me in this very room!
00:26:21He squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a hundred thousand dollar watch!
00:26:24Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:26Oh, I-
00:26:28But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:31Hey, you're no saint.
00:26:33You're just biased.
00:26:36I've been engaged to you for the past six months. I have asked you out 37 times!
00:26:42Because I thought we should at least get to know each other!
00:26:44Every time I have asked you out, you said, I'm too busy with work!
00:26:49But that wasn't the truth!
00:26:50The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant!
00:26:54Listen to him and sing your praises, right?!
00:26:57Who's that?
00:26:59Oh, let me guess. Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:04Just ignore him.
00:27:06Is he still your fiancé?
00:27:09Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:13I just, I can't stand him. A spoiled heir who thinks the world revolves around him?
00:27:20So what if I did? Who I choose to hang out with is my own choice!
00:27:25We're engaged, not married! I can see whoever I want!
00:27:30Serena, shut up!
00:27:31No, I am not done! Damien has worked himself to the bone!
00:27:37He is driven and disciplined and when Harper first went public, he was a key reason that we made it!
00:27:43If you had even half his talent, Julian, maybe I would have said yes to it once.
00:27:49But you don't.
00:27:53Damien was a key reason you made it. That's your story, right?
00:27:56What is so funny?
00:27:57I mean, I'm laughing at just how foolish you are.
00:28:01Do you know why, for the past six months, all of your proposals have sailed through?
00:28:05Why every deal that you like happened to have closed? Why every time that you wanted a loan,
00:28:11the banks rolled out a special fast track for you?
00:28:13Because Damien is brilliant! Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way!
00:28:18Damien? Brilliant? That was Julian! Julian is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together!
00:28:27Serena!
00:28:28No, that is impossible! I don't believe it!
00:28:42Hey! Eyes up Serena! In the past six months, I've called in 47 separate connections and cleared
00:28:47a path for you. Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange!
00:28:50And you know, I made you Wall Street's business queen!
00:28:53That's Iron Gate, North Bridge, and even Silver Line! Those are all the top 50 global giants!
00:28:58They've all been backing us behind the scenes?
00:29:00No wonder every project went so smoothly! Julian is the one with this kind of network!
00:29:05Damien's got some nerves stealing credit for something like this! That's a death wish!
00:29:12No, no, no, it's not true, huh? Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me,
00:29:17and my hard work, and my connections!
00:29:19Oh, you perigate fool!
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:31All right, that's enough. I finally got the all clear for my grandfather, and I can go home.
00:29:37So, as of right now, our engagement is terminated.
00:29:40Julian, all of this has been our fault, but the engagement...
00:29:44Let him go. I don't need a fiancé who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:52Without my connections and my network, Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:57And it's going to go right back to where it was six months ago.
00:30:01What? What?
00:30:04Prepare yourselves.
00:30:06Julian! Julian!
00:30:08Julian!
00:30:11Serena!
00:30:12You silly, foolish, foolish girl!
00:30:16Grandpa, I have never been clearer. With or without him, I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:22Serena's right. Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper, I'm going to stand by Serena's side,
00:30:26and I'm going to give her everything that I've got.
00:30:29Crap. I'm going to beat the crap out of you once and for all!
00:30:33Dad, that is enough.
00:30:36Dad? Grandpa?
00:30:38I know you have your issues with Damien, but I believe he will prove himself to you, and so will
00:30:44I.
00:30:46I will show everyone here that what Harper achieved over the past six months was my work.
00:30:51It has nothing to do with Julian.
00:30:54This meeting is over.
00:30:57Serena, wait up!
00:30:59You!
00:31:00Uh, tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:07Serena! Serena!
00:31:09Don't even worry about that. I know our Enterprise took a huge hit today,
00:31:12but as long as we lock down Amber Group's Crescent Lake project,
00:31:15change the game, and everyone will still think that we're in control. Easy!
00:31:20The $3 billion Crescent Lake project.
00:31:23If we can win that contract, we can wipe all the problems we've been facing.
00:31:28Damien, you've secured several of Amber Group's projects before,
00:31:32and I'm going to put this one in your hands too.
00:31:35It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:36No, no, absolutely. You can count on me.
00:31:39Amber Group's deputy VP of projects, and he trusts me completely.
00:31:44He else has been his eyes.
00:31:52It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:52Get the Crescent Lake contract ready.
00:31:54Same as always.
00:31:55Once the Harper team arrives, we hand it straight to them.
00:31:58Miss Lawson, we just got an update.
00:32:00Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise.
00:32:03The engagement is off.
00:32:04Serena fired him and ended it.
00:32:08Are you sure?
00:32:10Absolutely.
00:32:11Word is she listened to her assistant Damien,
00:32:13who really stirred the pot, and then Serena personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:17Serena really thinks she got where she is because of Damien?
00:32:20That for you little lap dog?
00:32:22Then do we still hand the Crescent Lake project over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:27Without Julian, Harper Enterprise really thinks it's worthy of Crescent Lake?
00:32:31Not a chance.
00:32:32Open it to public video.
00:32:34Yes, ma'am.
00:32:42Now that is an amazing shot, Mr. Brooks.
00:32:45Damien, Crescent Lake's public bid is coming up soon.
00:32:49How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:06Damien, what does this mean, huh?
00:33:08Mr. Brooks, why don't you do yourself a favor and take a closer look?
00:33:12That's one million in clean crypto, untraceable.
00:33:17Harper Enterprise is totally prepared to take on Crescent Lake.
00:33:21We just need you to give us a little extra attention.
00:33:25Oh my, Damien, you're too kind.
00:33:29Sure, it's a public bidding on paper, but as long as I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about.
00:33:36But sit tight, contract's yours.
00:33:41Ms. Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway.
00:33:47Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:34:16Well, um, Prince Julian.
00:34:21All right, Serena kicked you out.
00:34:24Six months of hard work down the drain.
00:34:27What does that feel?
00:34:30Oh, I see.
00:34:31So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit, is that right?
00:34:35Of course, not to.
00:34:39I'm here to steal you.
00:34:42You see, since your engagement is off, I was thinking, how about you consider me, huh?
00:34:54Guys like us, we don't get to escape alliances.
00:34:57Our families will bear ourselves either way.
00:35:00So why pick a stranger when there's someone who actually knows you?
00:35:08You see?
00:35:09Childhood friends, same circles, 15 years of school.
00:35:16We match, we match, you know?
00:35:19We fit.
00:35:22Hang on, Nora, are you saying this because you're drunk or do you-
00:35:26Shh!
00:35:26Shh!
00:35:34I'm not drunk, okay?
00:35:36You don't have to answer me tonight, just think about it.
00:35:40Hm?
00:35:45For me.
00:35:51I'm not drunk.
00:35:52I see your murder, right?
00:35:53Didn't you?
00:35:56Derek$%l
00:36:04When you're dating, Mai, we're going to drive us.
00:36:07First are tagged that all and here.
00:36:07No, we're going.
00:36:10As an escrow and Hunt, one of my friends are here.
00:36:10I told you, I'm not drunk.
00:36:13All right, your swimsuit fell off.
00:36:16Oh, shit.
00:36:17I'm drunk.
00:36:19All right, your swimsuit fell off.
00:36:21Oh, shit.
00:36:23I'm drunk.
00:36:39Miss Lawson.
00:36:40Amber Group's distinguished CEO, allow me the pleasure of introducing myself.
00:36:46Oh, I am so sorry.
00:36:48Bad, bad timing.
00:36:49Truly terrible timing.
00:36:58Don't move.
00:37:00If that jacket slips for you in a second, let's see.
00:37:03Okay, aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:05Amber Group's CEO got caught in a scandal at a pool party?
00:37:08Brumacom boosts my company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breast go through.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:16Okay.
00:37:19But if you stay through to me like this for the rest of the night,
00:37:26I think my heart is going to skip on its chest.
00:37:29I think my heart is going to skip on its chest.
00:37:53Steve, walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:10Speak of the devil of all good times.
00:38:19You know, this is a private party for Amber Group's CEO.
00:38:22You know what I lost?
00:38:23Not exactly the kind of place where anybody could just wander into.
00:38:26Oh, wait.
00:38:30Well, well.
00:38:32I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:35Feelings for Serena weren't that deep after all.
00:38:39Can I help you with something?
00:38:41Seriously?
00:38:42This woman's even prettier than Serena.
00:38:45How does a loser like Julian always get women?
00:38:47I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:38:49Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here, she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:38:56Pouring herself out like this?
00:38:58It's a beautiful digger.
00:39:00Is that so?
00:39:02Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Christmas Eve project.
00:39:09What, you're bidding too?
00:39:10Yeah, I know you got connection and that's great and all,
00:39:13but you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:15Me, I got real talent.
00:39:17All right, and I'm going to win Crescent Lake for Serena.
00:39:19You, you're just going to fucking lose like you lose everything else.
00:39:24Good luck.
00:39:36See that?
00:39:37That is a shameless whore.
00:39:40That woman seems familiar.
00:39:42Samana, you don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:46All right, come on.
00:39:47Let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:39:48Let's go socialize and maybe we'll run into the host of the party, lost on yourself.
00:39:51Well, and if we do, I'll make sure we're going to go to brush.
00:40:05Let's go socialize and maybe we'll see you next time.
00:40:08Let's go socialize and maybe we'll see you next time.
00:40:22Okay, manners.
00:40:24This is a public event.
00:40:25What?
00:40:26You've known me since we were kids.
00:40:28Why would I pretend around you?
00:40:30But if you like classy, I can do classy.
00:40:35Okay.
00:40:37Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:46I'll let you get to it.
00:40:50Shall we?
00:41:07Julia.
00:41:11I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:13You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:17You know what?
00:41:19Mason Brooks, Amber Group's Deputy VP of Projects, already agreed to award the contract to Harper
00:41:24Enterprise.
00:41:26You can't win.
00:41:31I hear the Crescent Lake Project is basically yours.
00:41:34Congratulations.
00:41:36Serena, you are the business queen of Wall Street.
00:41:38And with Damien backing you up, it's unstoppable.
00:41:41When the two of you take off, don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:44Of course, you know, we're going to take care of you guys.
00:41:46Thank you so much.
00:41:54See that, Julia?
00:41:56Everybody already knows that Crescent Lake belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:59I suggest you walk out of here before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:42:02It's funny.
00:42:03You see, my Clark Group has deeper capital, better tech, and a stronger global record than
00:42:09Harper Enterprise.
00:42:09So I'm just curious, why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:14He recognizes Damien's talent, of course.
00:42:21I need to take this.
00:42:28Mind, Julia.
00:42:32What century are you living in?
00:42:35You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:38Then what does?
00:42:39Aren't you really that fucking stupid?
00:42:42Of course this.
00:42:45I paid Mason Brooks one million in crypto.
00:42:48What do you have that's going to be that?
00:42:51You paid Mason Brooks?
00:42:54That's impossible.
00:42:55He wouldn't dare.
00:42:56That's impossible.
00:42:57He wouldn't dare.
00:42:58Yeah, you want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart.
00:43:01But hey, you're a very lovely, beautiful escort.
00:43:05Why don't you do us all a favor, get up on that stage and give us a nice little poll
00:43:09show.
00:43:09Hey.
00:43:10Hey.
00:43:10I'm going to tell you.
00:43:11You want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:15Because every time I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune.
00:43:21Capital technology is useless.
00:43:25Fucking trash.
00:43:28Mason Brooks, you've got a lot in there.
00:43:30He's finished.
00:43:32Mr. Brooks is finished.
00:43:34Who the fuck is this?
00:43:36Who are you?
00:43:37What do you think?
00:43:37You're the Amber Group CEO or something?
00:43:41Who gave you the fucking guts?
00:43:42It's adorable, no?
00:43:43Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:44:02What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:07You hit me.
00:44:09You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:11I'm going to have Mason Brooks crush you with one phone call.
00:44:17There he is.
00:44:18Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:19You're finished.
00:44:21Mr. Brooks.
00:44:23What do you mean my friend?
00:44:24There's a woman here.
00:44:25I said she's going to report to you.
00:44:27Come on, please.
00:44:27Teach her a lesson.
00:44:28Oh, report me?
00:44:29Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:31This woman right here.
00:44:35Miss Lawson?
00:44:36She's even reported the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:39Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:41What?
00:44:42What?
00:44:46This can't be...
00:44:49Go ahead.
00:44:50Laugh.
00:44:51Laugh some more.
00:44:52Are you insane, Damien?
00:44:54You'll say anything out loud.
00:44:55Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:44:56She's just a gold-taking whore.
00:44:58I mean, even if she rats you out, who's going to believe this?
00:45:02Why are you hitting me?
00:45:03Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:05When did I ever take your money?
00:45:06I never took one cent.
00:45:09Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:11Idiots!
00:45:12Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:15Miss Lawson, this Damien, he's a lunatic.
00:45:18He's making things up.
00:45:20Don't listen to him.
00:45:20I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:24Not once!
00:45:27Miss Lawson?
00:45:30No, no, wait.
00:45:31You're Noah Lawson?
00:45:32Amber's group CEO?
00:45:34How is that possible?
00:45:35How is that fucking-
00:45:36Mr. Brooks!
00:45:37Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:39Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:43We promise we won't let you down.
00:45:47Stop!
00:45:48Shut the fuck up!
00:45:50When did I ever give you anything?
00:45:54Miss Lawson?
00:45:55These Harper Enterprise people, they're all out of their minds.
00:45:59They lie like the wind.
00:46:00I can't believe a word they say.
00:46:03Miss Lawson?
00:46:05Miss Lawson?
00:46:07She's Nora Lawson?
00:46:12The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:14Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:16You can leave now.
00:46:20Miss Lawson, I am so sorry.
00:46:23Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being inappropriate.
00:46:29But I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:32He is blunt, yes.
00:46:35But his ability is exceptional.
00:46:38Please, give Harper Enterprise the contract, and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:46:45Exceptional ability?
00:46:47Are you sure about that?
00:46:49Of course.
00:46:50If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:46:55You're about to find out.
00:47:02Damien?
00:47:04What does she mean?
00:47:06Oh, shit.
00:47:07I can't let her find out.
00:47:08I secured every project right.
00:47:10So she's upset because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:13So she wants revenge.
00:47:15So she's going to embarrass Harper Enterprise in front of everyone.
00:47:17So what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:19Let's go.
00:47:20Go?
00:47:21If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:26Even if Miss Lawson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:29Serena, please!
00:47:30Okay?
00:47:30I'm sorry.
00:47:32Here we go now.
00:47:33All right?
00:47:34I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones, but we need to go now.
00:47:36Come on.
00:47:37What is wrong with you today?
00:47:39Are you hiding something from me?
00:47:41I...
00:47:54You want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart?
00:47:58Technology capital.
00:48:00Useless fucking trash.
00:48:02What?
00:48:03Shit!
00:48:03She actually recorded it?
00:48:05And escort.
00:48:06So why don't you do us all a nice little favor?
00:48:08Get up on that stage.
00:48:09Give us a nice little poll show.
00:48:13Who is that?
00:48:15He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:18That's Damian Blackwell, Harper Enterprise's executive assistant.
00:48:21How do you not know him?
00:48:22All of the best Amber projects being sent to Harper Enterprise over the past six months.
00:48:27And now we know they were bought.
00:48:31That's not true.
00:48:32All of that's a lie.
00:48:33Just don't...
00:48:34Just don't...
00:48:34Don't believe it.
00:48:35Just turn it up.
00:48:36Turn it up right now!
00:48:37Stop him!
00:48:39Let go of me!
00:48:42Damian, you did this behind my back?
00:48:44This is your talent?
00:48:45Your ability?
00:48:47Yes, I mean, please just...
00:48:48Mr. Brooks is very simple.
00:48:51What a fucking ridiculous...
00:48:52Who are you to say anything?
00:48:54What do you think?
00:48:55You're Amber Group CEO?
00:48:57Amber...
00:48:58Turn it off.
00:48:59It's okay.
00:49:00Okay.
00:49:01Miss Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:49:02Just...
00:49:03Please stop it!
00:49:04Please!
00:49:04Please!
00:49:06Bribery is one thing, but mistaking Miss Lawson for an escort?
00:49:10A whore?
00:49:12He's fucking blind.
00:49:13The best part?
00:49:14He confessed right in front of her that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:18Genius!
00:49:19And Serena trusted him to be her assistant?
00:49:21I mean, what does that say about her judgment?
00:49:24Damian, you have disappointed me beyond words.
00:49:28Serena, I did it because I cared about you.
00:49:30Because I care about Harper Enterprise.
00:49:32Please, I'm happy to tell you the truth.
00:49:34Enough.
00:49:35Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:37Mason Brooks, you're fired.
00:49:40Effective immediately.
00:49:42I'm done.
00:49:44The Crescent Lake Project.
00:49:47Harper Enterprise is disqualified.
00:49:50Every single project Amber Group has done together with them will be suspended.
00:49:55The projects will be back for competitive bidding.
00:49:59No, no, you can't do that.
00:50:02Those projects are our next three years.
00:50:04They affect thousands of employees.
00:50:06Their lives are future.
00:50:08And why am the person who hired Trash and called it talent?
00:50:13Real talent.
00:50:20Pathetic.
00:50:41I just avenged you in front of a lot of people.
00:50:45Asking for our dinner isn't too much, right?
00:50:47Not at all.
00:50:49You pick my treat.
00:50:51Generous.
00:50:52Let's go.
00:50:53Time to rob the tycoon.
00:50:57Miss Lawson.
00:50:59Damian was wrong to bribe anyone.
00:51:02And I apologize on his behalf.
00:51:05Just please give Harper Enterprise another chance.
00:51:09I will meet the highest standards.
00:51:12I will deliver a perfect result on every project.
00:51:15Perfect result?
00:51:17And what exactly guarantees that?
00:51:19Your empty suit assistant?
00:51:22Miss Lawson.
00:51:24Damian made a mistake.
00:51:26But his ability is exceptional.
00:51:30For six months, he managed every Harper Enterprise project flawlessly.
00:51:34No errors.
00:51:35No delays.
00:51:36If you don't pull this contract, I guarantee he will make sure you see his value.
00:51:44Managed flawlessly?
00:51:46He's not the only empty suit here.
00:51:49Year two.
00:51:50Miss Lawson, you are crossing a line.
00:51:56I understand that you and Julian are close and you want to get back at me for him.
00:52:01But humiliating someone like this, isn't that a little cruel?
00:52:05You really think I froze our cooperation because Damian and Bribe Mason?
00:52:10Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:12For six months, Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted from Ember Group.
00:52:19For one reason.
00:52:21Julian Clark.
00:52:23Damian has nothing to do with that.
00:52:26He was just a messenger boy who picked up the contracts.
00:52:30What?
00:52:30When Julian was there, bribe or no bribe, Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:36But now, Julian's gone, so the special treatment is gone.
00:52:42Damian's little arriving incident, it was just a convenient excuse to take everything back.
00:52:47Understand now?
00:52:52And about those flawless projects, Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly because Damian is brilliant.
00:52:59It ran smoothly because Julian called every partner, every supplier, every gatekeeper and cleared the path for you.
00:53:08Damian had nothing to do with that.
00:53:12No.
00:53:15That's not true.
00:53:16I don't believe it.
00:53:17You don't believe me?
00:53:19Then watch.
00:53:20Watch what happens when Julian leaves.
00:53:24Let's see if your exceptional Damian can keep everything perfect when Julian is not there to hold the world together
00:53:31for him.
00:53:33Come on, let's go.
00:53:41Julian, is what she's saying true?
00:53:45You were right about one thing, Serena.
00:53:47Julian and I are closer than you thought.
00:53:50That's why it disgusts me watching him waste his life away on a selfish and blind woman like you.
00:54:01Was I wrong?
00:54:02No, no, no, Serena, Serena.
00:54:03Do not listen to her nonsense.
00:54:05Harper's success is based off of my hard work.
00:54:09Okay, Nora Lawson, she's just attacking and slandering my name to defend Julian.
00:54:14You have to believe me.
00:54:15Please, you have to understand.
00:54:16Because of you, Crescent Lake is gone.
00:54:20Every Amber project is gone.
00:54:22Harper Enterprise is on the edge of collapse and you're asking me to trust you?
00:54:27How?
00:54:28Tell me how.
00:54:30Please, just listen to me.
00:54:32Okay, yeah, we lost Amber group, but we're not finished.
00:54:35I mean, we still have the partners and the CEOs.
00:54:37I mean, they love me.
00:54:38They absolutely love and adore me.
00:54:41I promise.
00:54:41You know what?
00:54:42Matter of fact, I'm going to call and I'm going to get you some new projects right now.
00:54:49Hello, Mr. Foster.
00:54:50It's Damien here.
00:54:51I hear the Grandview Plaza is taking bids and Harper Enterprise, you know, we would absolutely love.
00:54:57Harper Enterprise?
00:54:58Who the hell is that?
00:54:59Do you think you're even in the same league as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:03Uh, Mr. Foster, what do you mean?
00:55:07I, last time we spoke, you said that you believed in the Harper Enterprise and that you would love to
00:55:12work together.
00:55:13Listen up.
00:55:14That's because Julian Clark was in your damn enterprise.
00:55:17I was giving him respect.
00:55:19You, don't flatter yourself, bunch of blind dumbasses.
00:55:23Call me again and I'll block your fucking number.
00:55:27So what really was Julian?
00:55:28No, no, that's, that's not possible.
00:55:31I, I, I don't, I don't believe that.
00:55:32I don't.
00:55:33Hello, Mr. Parker.
00:55:34It's Damien.
00:55:35I was hoping to talk about future collaborations.
00:55:37Damien, you've got the fucking nerve to call me.
00:55:41I gave Harper Enterprise Project because of Mr. Clark.
00:55:44And then you turned around and claimed you closed the deal.
00:55:48Who gave you the audacity?
00:55:50Shameless trash.
00:55:54Ms. Parker.
00:55:56Ms. Parker, no, no, God damn it.
00:55:59No, I, I don't believe this.
00:56:01I don't believe this fucking Julian this whole fucking time.
00:56:04God damn it.
00:56:06Sorry, sorry.
00:56:08Hello?
00:56:09Mr. Turner, it's Damien.
00:56:11Damien, who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:13Calling me directly?
00:56:15Learn some manners.
00:56:18Julian was polite enough to tolerate you playing sideman with his fiancee.
00:56:22I'm not, you bastard too.
00:56:25Mr. Turner?
00:56:27Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:31What the fuck is happening?
00:56:39Ms. Harper?
00:56:40This is bad.
00:56:41Our partners are flooding us with messages.
00:56:44They're suspending contracts, pulling out of deals.
00:56:46Wait, what is happening?
00:56:48They said before, they only worked with Harper Enterprise because Julian Clark backed us.
00:56:52Now that he's gone, they don't trust us with their project.
00:56:56Julian.
00:56:58It's Julian again.
00:57:02No, it's, it's true.
00:57:05They only gave us deals because of Julian.
00:57:09Julian!
00:57:10No, no, no, no, no.
00:57:10Sweetie, please.
00:57:11Okay?
00:57:12They're just saying that because Julian has been paying them off.
00:57:15Think about it.
00:57:15Okay?
00:57:16You know what?
00:57:16Just give me some time and I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:19I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:20I swear.
00:57:20Get away from me!
00:57:23You liar, you fraud, Damien!
00:57:26All those CEOs, they only had you pick up contracts from them.
00:57:31And you told me you negotiated the deals.
00:57:34I swear, I, I, I didn't know that they, that they wouldn't.
00:57:39Get out of my sight.
00:57:42Now!
00:57:59Fuck!
00:58:00Damn it!
00:58:01No!
00:58:02I was this close to locking Serena down, stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:05I'm not letting it end like this.
00:58:12Serena, you really thought you were smart.
00:58:16But you're really just pathetic, trash.
00:58:21Without Julian, you're nothing.
00:58:33Dad warned you, Grandpa warned you, and you still wouldn't listen.
00:58:42You ignored everything Julian did and worshipped a con artist like Damien.
00:59:00And now, look at you.
00:59:04Projects gone.
00:59:06Company collapsing.
00:59:10Idiot.
00:59:11You arrogant.
00:59:12Stupid.
00:59:14Idiot.
00:59:16So stupid.
00:59:23Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:32Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:33Serena, Serena, listen.
00:59:36I know I messed up.
00:59:39Oh!
00:59:43Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:47I know, I know I was wrong.
00:59:49Look.
00:59:50Always damn Julian!
00:59:53Julian.
00:59:56Come back, okay?
00:59:58Please come back.
01:00:04Damn back.
01:00:09You don't have to be scared.
01:00:12Harper Enterprises' business, Queen.
01:00:14So much better than those cheap girls.
01:00:16Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprises' mind.
01:00:21Oh, Damien!
01:00:22You sick bastard!
01:00:25You sick bastard!
01:00:30I really mean it.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:33You fucking...
01:00:34I'm telling you the truth!
01:00:36I mean it!
01:00:37Okay?
01:00:37I promise.
01:00:39I'll treat you well.
01:00:43You fucking monster!
01:00:45Get off me, please!
01:00:46I'm begging you, don't!
01:00:48Say yes.
01:00:50What are you doing?
01:00:54I'm fucking dead!
01:00:56I'm sorry, help me!
01:00:58I tried being nice to you.
01:00:59I fucking tried!
01:01:01But you keep fighting me back!
01:01:02Help!
01:01:03Help!
01:01:04Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:05Keep fucking screaming!
01:01:07Right?
01:01:08You're not gonna say no.
01:01:10I'm gonna fuck you.
01:01:12No!
01:01:13Help!
01:01:14Help!
01:01:16Julian.
01:01:17Julian, help!
01:01:19Help!
01:01:19Oh!
01:01:20Oh!
01:01:21Get him out of here!
01:01:23Stop!
01:01:23Let me go!
01:01:25Julian, you know this one in the fucking place.
01:01:27This is an offer.
01:01:32Julian, thank God you came and you had like...
01:01:36We are not that close.
01:01:40I was just passing through.
01:01:41I heard some screaming, so I stopped by to check.
01:01:44You.
01:01:44I want you to call the Harper family.
01:01:47Tell them to come pick her up.
01:01:48Yes, sir.
01:01:50Oh, oh, oh.
01:01:51Julian, I am sorry.
01:01:54I know I was wrong.
01:01:57Just...
01:01:57Please come back.
01:01:59Julian, our reservation is in ten minutes.
01:02:03Let's go.
01:02:11Serena, I told you over and over and over again that Damien was not a good man and you refused
01:02:23to listen.
01:02:26Julian, if Julian, if Julian doesn't come along, just at the right time, oh my God, I can't even, I
01:02:34can't even think about it.
01:02:35If you don't do something about that stubborn pride of yours, one day, you will live to regret it.
01:02:41Dad, Grandpa, please stop.
01:02:43I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:47I'll apologize to Julian and I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:54The problem with that is that, uh, you may feel that way, but Julian might not.
01:03:01Grandpa, don't worry.
01:03:04I will apologize properly and I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:10That's all we can do.
01:03:12So, John, put out a citywide bolo on that bastard Damien.
01:03:19He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:22We're not letting that go.
01:03:25No, we're not.
01:03:27Understood.
01:03:28Good.
01:03:58Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:05What is this supposed to be?
01:04:08A gift for you.
01:04:10Myself.
01:04:12I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:14Amber group backs you up.
01:04:16No questions asked.
01:04:18But first, you have to accept the gift.
01:04:22Not really.
01:04:32Hey, can you not do that?
01:04:35You're making this incredibly awkward.
01:04:38You know a woman like me shows up a gift wrapped and any man would have, you know,
01:04:44housed me by now.
01:04:46Then tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:49Hung up?
01:04:51You're not going to be hung up on Serena.
01:04:53She and I were never romantic.
01:04:56No, it's just a business marriage between two families.
01:05:00Things are moving too fast.
01:05:02You've got to think twice.
01:05:04But I don't have time.
01:05:06My family is preparing to send me off into a European alliance.
01:05:11Some old money.
01:05:13Perfect match they can show off at Wallace.
01:05:16Wait, what are you talking about?
01:05:17Are you serious?
01:05:18Yes, Julian.
01:05:19Julian, my uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of me
01:05:25permanently.
01:05:26But I don't want a stranger.
01:05:27I want you.
01:05:28I love you.
01:05:30Julian, let's make it official.
01:05:35Let's get married.
01:05:38You know, if you'll marry me, my family won't dare object.
01:05:45Please, Julian.
01:05:56Okay.
01:05:58I'll marry you.
01:06:00Are you serious?
01:06:02No takebacks.
01:06:03No takebacks.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:05I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:08But can you help me out?
01:06:12Um, my hands are getting wet.
01:06:15So impatient.
01:06:20It's like you said.
01:06:22If I accept the gift, then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:31Then be gentle.
01:06:40Julian, you didn't forget what you promised last night, right?
01:06:46Uh, no.
01:06:47Because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:06:49Of course I remember that.
01:06:51You know, when someone wraps themselves as a gift, you kind of remember that for the rest of your life.
01:06:56Details.
01:06:58Details.
01:06:58Those are just tiny details.
01:07:02Look like big details to me.
01:07:06Julian.
01:07:09Can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:12Serena, I really don't think there's anything we need to discuss.
01:07:14Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:15I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:17I misjudged everything.
01:07:19Please, just give me one more chance and I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:24And if you take me back, just tell me what you want.
01:07:26I'll do anything.
01:07:27I'm sorry, I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:33Boyfriend?
01:07:39Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:07:43Well, Julian hates them too.
01:07:45And yet you stayed at Harper Enterprise for six full months.
01:07:49He asked you out 37 times.
01:07:51So tell me, what exactly are you proud of?
01:07:55Hmm?
01:07:57Men like him?
01:07:59If you treat him like trash, someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:08:04Listen carefully, we are all together now, so better keep your distance.
01:08:08If you don't, I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:14Come on.
01:08:15We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:18Let's not be late.
01:08:19Wedding outfits.
01:08:22Let's go.
01:08:28Let's go.
01:08:37So how did it go?
01:08:39Julian?
01:08:40He's with Nora.
01:08:46Nora.
01:08:47Nora Lawson.
01:08:49CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:50Of course.
01:08:52You know, Serena, it's an elite like Julian.
01:08:56The second you let go, somebody comes and grabs him.
01:09:00You don't get another chance.
01:09:02God gave our family a chance.
01:09:04And we blew it.
01:09:07God, forgive the Harpers, please.
01:09:11Ms. Hopper, finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:15Hopper Enterprises' cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:18If we don't act immediately, we won't even have enough to make payroll this month.
01:09:24Great.
01:09:25Now all of Wall Street knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:29No one's going to lend to us now.
01:09:31How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:33This is my fault, okay?
01:09:35I was blind.
01:09:36Are you proud now?
01:09:38I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:09:42And I didn't realize that Julian was running everything.
01:09:47And the moment he's gone, I can't do anything.
01:09:52Grandpa, I'm so sorry.
01:09:55I ruined Harper Enterprise.
01:09:58I ruined everything.
01:10:00Dad, you're the one who arranged the engagement with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:05So maybe you should go talk to him and see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:10Yes, Grandpa.
01:10:12Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:14If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:17Clark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:21Yes, they honored our engagement.
01:10:25And that was a mercy.
01:10:26That was a blessing.
01:10:28But you threw it away.
01:10:33Still, for your sake and for your future, and for our future, we'll fight.
01:10:47Serena, when you see Julian's grandfather, your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:55If he forgives you, only then will you know that you have a chance to get Julian back.
01:11:02Understood, Grandpa.
01:11:04For the Harper family, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:22Welcome!
01:11:24You must be here for Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:28Perfect timing.
01:11:29They're just about to start.
01:11:32Engagement party?
01:11:33So they're really engaged?
01:11:36Wait, how is this all happening so fast?
01:11:40What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:42Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson have known each other since they were born,
01:11:46and everyone is so happy that they're finally getting married.
01:11:49Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:51You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:11:55Then please leave.
01:11:58Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:12:00Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:12:05If there's an engagement party,
01:12:07that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:13And that means we're done.
01:12:17There's no more chances left.
01:12:19We're leaving.
01:12:21Is this my punishment?
01:12:24All right, everyone.
01:12:26Big smiles.
01:12:30Woo!
01:12:37Sure, sure, sure, sure.
01:12:39Yeah.
01:12:43Julian, are you okay?
01:12:52What is it?
01:12:53Oh, it's nothing.
01:12:55Come on, dinner's almost right.
01:13:10Dad, the Harpers.
01:13:13My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:17For a young one,
01:13:20his six months at Harper Enterprise,
01:13:23it was a total humiliation.
01:13:26We've shown the Harpers more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:31Understood, Dad.
01:13:40Okay, enough, Serena.
01:13:42Stop.
01:13:42You can't drink this away.
01:13:45Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:13:48If you don't get up, it's over.
01:13:51Just leave me the fuck alone, okay?
01:13:54Just let me drink.
01:13:55I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:57I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:13:59No, you...
01:14:02All right, I've got to take this.
01:14:04Don't move.
01:14:05I'll be right back,
01:14:06and then I am taking you home.
01:14:09I'm...
01:14:10I'm...
01:14:10I'm...
01:14:11I'm...
01:14:23I'm...
01:14:24He's going to move insane and fast.
01:14:25You just got engaged,
01:14:27and you're getting married next week?
01:14:30Let's see.
01:14:31You've known Julian for 20-plus years.
01:14:34You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:14:35I've liked Julian for 20 years, and I finally got him to say yes.
01:14:40You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:14:42Lock it down from what?
01:14:43From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:14:45They're collapsing and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:14:50I have to move fast.
01:14:51If they start begging, what if Julian hesitates?
01:14:57But Julian and Serena were forced into that.
01:15:00There's no real love.
01:15:02Why will Julian hesitate?
01:15:03What are you afraid of?
01:15:04You don't get it.
01:15:07Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months, and it wasn't just because he's grandfather
01:15:12ordering.
01:15:13Then why?
01:15:16Because Serena is his type.
01:15:21Wait, what?
01:15:24I am Julian's type?
01:15:27No way!
01:15:29I'm serious.
01:15:30The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:15:32That exact time.
01:15:35I mean, with his personality, even if his grandfather forced him, he would have stayed there for
01:15:41three days max and then vanished.
01:15:43He would not stay there and take six months of humiliation if he didn't want it.
01:15:48That's Julian Clark.
01:15:51So that's why?
01:15:53Serena must have destroyed him.
01:15:55I have to get married fast.
01:15:57I cannot give her a single chance.
01:16:00So that's what it was.
01:16:02Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months because I'm his type.
01:16:06He likes me.
01:16:07That means I still have a chance.
01:16:10I still have a chance.
01:16:12This is my last shot.
01:16:13I am not wasting it.
01:16:22Where is she?
01:16:28Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:45Wow.
01:16:46They look perfect together.
01:16:48They're childhood sweethearts.
01:16:50The whole fantasy.
01:16:50Oh my God.
01:16:51Brilliant.
01:16:54And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:09Wait!
01:17:15Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:23Julian, I know you like me.
01:17:43You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:52I know.
01:17:53I was wrong.
01:17:54Totally wrong.
01:17:55Okay?
01:17:56Just please.
01:17:57Give me another chance.
01:18:01Our engagement is over.
01:18:04In fact, you were the one that called it off.
01:18:07Look, this is my wedding.
01:18:09Have some dignity.
01:18:10In fact, can we get her out of here, please?
01:18:12No, please.
01:18:13I'll do anything.
01:18:15Just...
01:18:20I know you hate me because I rejected you 37 times, but I'll make it up to you.
01:18:28I'll chase you 37 times, 370 times, whatever it did.
01:18:33Can we please get her out?
01:18:35No, don't touch me!
01:18:36Julian, what do you want from me?
01:18:38I know you like me.
01:18:40So why won't you give me another chance?
01:18:42Why?
01:18:47Simple question.
01:18:49Do you love me?
01:18:53I...
01:18:53Exactly.
01:18:54You don't.
01:18:55You didn't realize you made a mistake.
01:18:57You realized that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:19:00What you want is not a chance, but a tool.
01:19:04You want me back so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:09No, that...
01:19:11That's not true.
01:19:13Just please.
01:19:15Listen.
01:19:15Please, listen.
01:19:16Enough.
01:19:16Serena.
01:19:17When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise,
01:19:19do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:23Let me ask you this.
01:19:24If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed,
01:19:26if your value kept climbing,
01:19:28would you still be here standing in front of me today?
01:19:33I...
01:19:34No, no, you wouldn't.
01:19:35You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:36You'd be celebrating.
01:19:38You'd say that you earned the business queen a crown.
01:19:41You'd be mocking me, calling me pathetic.
01:19:43You'd say that firing me was the best decision you ever made.
01:19:46Plus, you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:19:48No.
01:19:50No, Julian, that...
01:19:52That's not me.
01:19:53Just admit it, Serena.
01:19:56You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:57But on my wedding day, you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:20:01Why?
01:20:01Because you want me back as your lifeline.
01:20:04Your donor.
01:20:05Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:35But the moment I stop being useful,
01:20:36when I met you,
01:20:41when I met you,
01:21:06you were exactly my type.
01:21:08She still supported me.
01:21:10She still took hits from me.
01:21:15So, let me ask you.
01:21:18Why would I give up all that for you?
01:21:22What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:24I don't know.
01:21:29Interrupt.
01:21:30No, no.
01:21:31No, please don't, Julian.
01:21:33Don't, don't.
01:21:33Please.
01:21:34I'm begging you.
01:21:35Just please let me explain.
01:21:37Please.
01:21:38Please.
01:21:38Let me.
01:21:38Please stop.
01:21:39Let me go.
01:21:40Julian, please don't do it.
01:21:42Crashing a wedding like that?
01:21:44I thought she actually loved him.
01:21:46Turns out, she just realized, without Julian,
01:21:49she can't stay on top.
01:21:50She used Julian's feelings like a weapon.
01:21:52Totally vampire-drained and dry.
01:22:24Mr. Clark!
01:22:26Mr. Clark!
01:22:47That's too much.
01:22:53I've given this company 15 years.
01:22:56You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:22:5815 years, wow.
01:23:00Congratulations.
01:23:01You've had 15 years to make this company clean,
01:23:03and instead, you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:07You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:10I've seen how you all work.
01:23:13Bribes.
01:23:14Embezzlement.
01:23:17Kickbacks.
01:23:19Fraud.
01:23:21Everyone beat us a file.
01:23:23So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms.
01:23:27And, uh, once you sign them,
01:23:29hand over your badges,
01:23:31or you're going to rob him.
01:23:34This.
01:23:35This is it.
01:23:50Are you satisfied now?
01:23:53Satisfied?
01:23:54Thomas went to my grandfather.
01:23:56He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:24:01I saved you.
01:24:04Julian.
01:24:07If I didn't treat you the way I did,
01:24:10would any of this be different?
01:24:21Julian, right now you're thrown away and still land something better.
01:24:23I spent my whole life climbing upwards,
01:24:26and now I'm stuck at the bottom,
01:24:27hunted by cops.
01:24:29I won't accept it.
01:24:31Julian, what's yours?
01:24:32Julian!
01:24:33No!
01:24:37Let me go!
01:24:38Fucking let me go!
01:24:39I already spared you.
01:24:40You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:43Go ahead, take him to the police.
01:24:44Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:45I want him to ride in jail.
01:24:46Fucking coward.
01:24:47You're a fucking coward!
01:24:49Hiding behind your goddamn family's money.
01:24:50No, no, fight me.
01:24:51101!
01:24:52101!
01:24:53Let the guards go!
01:24:54You don't have the fucking guts to you!
01:24:59Hey, Julian.
01:25:01What was that?
01:25:03Just staking out the trash.
01:25:06Are you done here?
01:25:08No.
01:25:09Let's go.
01:25:16I was wrong!
01:25:18Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:21I was wrong!
