00:00:03Breaking news, Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack.
00:00:08In the past hour alone, the conglomerate has lost over a billion dollars in argumentation.
00:00:13Help me up here, I'm drowning. I just filed it.
00:00:16Help me up here, I'm drowning. I just filed it.
00:00:19Help me up here, I'm drowning. I just filed it.
00:00:23No, you have to buy it.
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.
00:00:31They're tearing us apart.
00:00:32We can't hold the line.
00:00:33We're about to become the laughing stock 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.
00:00:48Julia, we need you. Again.
00:00:51Shit. Shit.
00:00:55Give me a sec.
00:01:01Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:03Good, good, yeah.
00:01:05I just need to ask you for a little favor.
00:01:12Julian, you saved my ass last time. I owe you.
00:01:15I'm moving liquidity to Harper now.
00:01:19Great.
00:01:24The stock price is recovering.
00:01:26How is that possible?
00:01:27Did Mr. Clark just fix this with a few calls?
00:01:30Julian, what would Harper do without you?
00:01:34Julian, Damien's assistant called.
00:01:36Called in all hands.
00:01:37All department leads.
00:01:38Conference room in 10 minutes.
00:01:40Chairman's orders.
00:01:41Why would Damien call in the meeting?
00:01:43He despises you.
00:01:45Watch your back.
00:01:48How is that possible?
00:01:49How is that possible?
00:01:58Just Sit.
00:02:13How is that possible?
00:02:13For.
00:02:14Now.
00:02:15In from fossil fuels.
00:02:16successfully neutralized the short attack against harper and helped push our stock back up
00:02:21let's thank him for his outstanding contribution
00:02:29since when does damien know how to take over from a hole in the ground he must have stole
00:02:33this one from someone else remember what he did to anthony from investments damien took
00:02:37credit for his deal anthony pushed back and damien used this pool with serena to get him fired

00:03:39well since you're so keen on getting my contribution we'll start with the question
00:03:44which funds were behind the short attack and what was their distinct objective
00:03:48and what specifically was their entry strategy doesn't matter what matters is that i stopped you
00:03:53can't even name the enemy all right fine next question uh which firms did you guys recruit as
00:03:59white knights and what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection

00:04:13idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room the countermeasures for potential proxies fight or which

00:25:39your
00:25:39n****! dad! oh! damian! damian! dad! stop! damian has only ever stood up for me he is the only one
00:25:47who
00:25:48actually cares about me and i won't let you treat him like this! stay out of the way no you're
00:25:53really gonna
00:25:54go to war with Julian over this snake? Do you even have any idea who he really is?
00:26:00Whoever he is, it doesn't give him the right to just bully people like this. I cannot stand
00:26:05bullies who throw their weight around, and today that is exactly what you look like to
00:26:09me. Serena, that is enough. You hate bullies who throw their weight around, right? What
00:26:14about this guy? What about him? He hides behind your name to steal other people's work. He
00:26:19throws tea on me in this very room. He squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a hundred
00:26:23thousand dollar watch. Don't you think that's bullying? But you hate bullies, right? You're
00:26:32no saint. You're just biased. I've been engaged to you for the past six months. I have asked
00:26:39you out 37 times because I thought we should at least get to know each other. Every time
00:26:45I have asked you out, you said, I'm too busy with work. But that wasn't the truth. The truth
00:26:50is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant. Listen to him and sing your praises, right?
00:26:58Who's that? Oh, let me guess. Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:05Just ignore him. Is he still your fiancé? Is 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. We're engaged, not married.
00:27:27I can see
00:27:28whoever I want. Serena, shut up. No, I am not done. Damien has worked himself to the bone. He is
00:27:37driven 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. But you don't.
00:27:53Damien was a key reason you made it. That's your story, right? What is so funny? I mean,
00:27:58I'm laughing at just how foolish you are. Do you know why for the past six months all of your
00:28:04proposals have sailed through? Why every deal that you like happened to have closed? Why every time
00:28:10that you wanted a loan, the banks rolled out a special fast track for you? Because Damien is
00:28:14brilliant. Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way. Damien? Brilliant? That was Julian.
00:28:22Julian is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together. Serena. No, that is impossible.
00:28:31I don't believe it.
00:28:42Hey. Eyes up, Serena. In the past six months, I've called in 47 separate connections and cleared a path
00:28:47for you. Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange. And you know, I made you Wall Street's business
00:28:52queen. That's Iron Gate, North Bridge, and even Silver Line. Those are all the top 50 global giants.
00:28:58What? They all been begging us behind the scenes? No wonder every project went so smoothly. Julian's the
00:29:03one with this kind of network. Damien's got some nerve stealing credit for something like this. That's a death
00:29:09witch.
00:29:12No, no, no. It's not true, huh? Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me and my hard work
00:29:18and my
00:29:18connections. You perry good fool. Did 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. I can go home.
00:29:37So as of right now, our engagement is terminated. Julian, all of this has been our fault. But the
00:29:44engagement... Let him go. I don't need a fiance who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:52Without my connections and my network, Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:57And it's going to go right back to where it was six months ago.
00:30:04Prepare yourselves.
00:30:06Julian. Julian.
00:30:08Julian.
00:30:12Serena, you 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 and I'm going to give her
00:30:27everything 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!
00:30:59God, tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:08Serena, Serena!
00:31:09Don't even worry about that. I know our enterprise took a huge hit today, but as long as we lock
00:31:13down
00:31:13Amber Group's Crescent Lake project, change 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, and I'm going to put this one in your hands, too.
00:31:35It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:36No, no, absolutely. You can count on me.
00:31:39Amber Group's deputy VP of projects. I mean, he trusts me completely.
00:31:44He else has been his eyes.
00:31:52Get the Crescent Lake contract ready.
00:31:54Same as always. Once the Harper team arrives, we hand it straight to them.
00:31:58Ms. Lawson, we just got an update. Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise.
00:32:03The engagement is off. Serena fired him and ended it.
00:32:08Are you sure?
00:32:11Absolutely. Word is she listened to her assistant, Damien, who really stirred the pot, and then
00:32:15Serena personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:17Serena really thinks she got where she is because of Damien?
00:32:20That's 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? Not a chance.
00:32:32It's not a chance. Open it to public bidding.
00:32:34Yes, ma'am.
00:32:43Now 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.
00:33:37Sit tight.
00:33:38Contract's yours.
00:33:41Miss Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway.
00:33:47Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:34:16Well, um, friends, Jillian.
00:34:21All right, Serena kicked you out. Six months of hard work down the drain.
00:34:27What does that feel?
00:34:30Oh, I see. So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit. Is that right?
00:34:35Of course.
00:34:40I'm here to steal you.
00:34:42You see, since your engagement is off, I was thinking,
00:34:48how about you consider me, huh?
00:34:54Guys like us, we don't get to escape alliances.
00:34:57Our families will bear us off either way, so why pick a stranger when there's someone who
00:35:06actually knows you?
00:35:07You see, you see? Childhood friends, same circles, 15 years of school.
00:35:16We match, you know? We fit.
00:35:21Hang on. Nora, you're, are you saying this because you're drunk or do you-
00:35:34I'm not drunk, okay?
00:35:36You don't have to answer me tonight, just think about it.
00:35:40Hm?
00:35:50I don't know if this was your voice for you because you're drunk or you were, but no.
00:36:11I told you, I'm not drunk.
00:36:13All right, this one's who come off.
00:36:16Oh, shit.
00:36:17I'm drunk.
00:36:19All right, this one's who come off.
00:36:22Oh, shit.
00:36:22I'm drunk.
00:36:39Miss Lawson, Amber 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, you're finished.
00:37:03Okay, but aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:05Amber Group's CEO got caught in a scandal at a pool party?
00:37:09Rumor to warm those tomorrow's company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breast
00:37:14go through.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:16Okay.
00:37:19Okay.
00:37:19But if you stay through to me like this for the rest of the night, I think my heart's going
00:37:27to skip on its chest.
00:37:41And suffer.
00:37:42Okay?
00:37:44If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:52Please, just walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:11Speak 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.
00:38:27Oh, wait.
00:38:30Well, well.
00:38:32I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:36Feelings 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 better 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.
00:38:55Pouring herself out like this?
00:38:58It's me all take her hair.
00:39:00Is that so?
00:39:02You know, I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Crescent Lake project.
00:39:09What, you're bidding too?
00:39:11Yeah, I know you got connection.
00:39:12And that's great, you know.
00:39:13But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:15Me, I got real talent.
00:39:17All right?
00:39:17And 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.
00:39:42Samantha, 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 in herself.
00:39:53And if we do, I'll make sure we're going to go to brush.
00:40:14So that pretty boy Damien actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:19Tonight we're going to see who's really on top.
00:40:22Okay.
00:40:23Manners, this 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?
00:40:31But if you like classy, I can do classy.
00:40:35Oh, can you?
00:40:35Yeah.
00:40:36You can do classy?
00:40:37Yeah.
00:40:38Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:45I'll let you get to it.
00:40:50Sally?
00:40:54Julia!
00:41:08Julia!
00:41:11I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:13You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:17You know what?
00:41:18Mason 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, and with Damien backing you up, it's
00:41:40unstoppable.
00:41:41When the two of you take off, don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:44Of course.
00:41:45You know, we're going to take care of you guys.
00:41:46Thank you so much.
00:41:54See that, Julian?
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.
00:42:10So, I'm just curious.
00:42:11Why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:14He recognizes Damien's talent.
00:42:16Of course.
00:42:21I need to take this.
00:42:28Hi, Julian.
00:42:32What century are you living in?
00:42:34Hmm?
00:42:35You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:38Then what does?
00:42:40I ain't 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?
00:43:06Get up on that stage and give us a nice little poll show.
00:43:09Hey.
00:43:10Hey, I'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 cuts?
00:43:43It's adorable, no?
00:43:44Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:43:47Anti-anti-anti-corruption?
00:43:50Hmm?
00:43:50Hmm?
00:44:02What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:03Hmm?
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.
00:44:22Mr. Brooks.
00:44:23What do you mean my friend?
00:44:24There's a woman here.
00:44:26She said she's going to report to you.
00:44:27Come on, please.
00:44:27Teach her a lesson.
00:44:28Oh, report me?
00:44:30Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:31This woman right here.
00:44:35Miss...
00:44:36Lawson?
00:44:36She's even...
00:44:37She's even quoted the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:40Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:41What?
00:44:42What?
00:44:44This...
00:44:45This...
00:44:45This...
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-dicking 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?
00:45:07I never took one cent.
00:45:09Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:11Idiot.
00:45:12Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:14This Lawson, this...
00:45:16This Damien, he's a lunatic.
00:45:18He's making things up.
00:45:20Don't listen to him.
00:45:21I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:24Not once.
00:45:27Miss Lawson?
00:45:30No, no, no, wait.
00:45:31This is...
00:45:31You're Nora 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?
00:45:56They'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,
00:46:25so he thought that you and Julian were being, um, 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,
00:46:41and 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 I secured every project.
00:47:10Right.
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,
00:47:28we 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,
00:47:35but 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 Damien Blackwell,
00:48:19Harper Enterprise's executive assistant.
00:48:21How do you not know him?
00:48:22All of the best Amber projects
00:48:24being sent to Harper Enterprises
00:48:26over 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.
00:48:35I...
00:48:35Just turn it up.
00:48:36Turn it up right now!
00:48:37Stop him!
00:48:39Let go of me!
00:48:42Damien, you did this behind my back?
00:48:44This is your talent?
00:48:45Your ability?
00:48:47Yes, Sermina, please just see us.
00:48:49Mr. Brooks is missing.
00:48:51What a fucking ridiculous thing to say.
00:48:52I mean, who are you to say anything?
00:48:54What do you think, your Amber group CEO?
00:48:57Amber...
00:48:58Turn it off, please.
00:49:00Okay?
00:49:00Okay, Miss 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,
00:49:07but 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
00:49:16that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:18Genius!
00:49:19And Serena trusted him to be her assistant?
00:49:22I mean, what does that say about her judgment?
00:49:24Damien,
00:49:25you 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...
00:49:32Can you tell me the truth?
00:49:34Enough.
00:49:35Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:37Mason Brooks,
00:49:38you'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
00:49:53will 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 the person who hired Trash
00:50:10is called it talent?
00:50:13Real talent.
00:50:20Pathetic.
00:50:25Serena.
00:50:28Please, you gotta let me explain.
00:50:31Miss Lawson, wait.
00:50:32Serena!
00:50:42I just avenged you in front of a lot of people.
00:50:45Asking for dinner isn't too much, right?
00:50:47Not at all.
00:50:49You pick.
00:50:50My treat.
00:50:51Generous.
00:50:52Let's go.
00:50:53Time to rob the tycoon.
00:50:57Miss Lawson,
00:50:59Damien was wrong to bribe anyone,
00:51:02and I apologize on his behalf.
00:51:05Just please,
00:51:07give Harper Enterprise another chance.
00:51:09I will meet the highest standards.
00:51:12I will deliver a perfect result
00:51:13on every project.
00:51:15Perfect result?
00:51:17And what exactly guarantees that?
00:51:19Your empty suit assistant?
00:51:22Miss Lawson,
00:51:24Damien made a mistake,
00:51:27but his ability is exceptional.
00:51:30For six months,
00:51:31he managed every Harper Enterprise project
00:51:33lawlessly.
00:51:34No errors, no delays.
00:51:36If you don't pull this contract,
00:51:38I guarantee
00:51:39he will make sure you see his value.
00:51:44Managed flawlessly.
00:51:46He's not the only empty suit here.
00:51:49Year or two.
00:51:50Miss Lawson,
00:51:52you are crossing a line!
00:51:56I understand that
00:51:57you and Julian are close,
00:51:59and you want to get back at me for him.
00:52:01But humiliating someone like this,
00:52:03isn't that a little cruel?
00:52:05You really think I froze our cooperation
00:52:07because Damien, right, Mason?
00:52:10Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:12For six months,
00:52:14Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted
00:52:17from Ember Group.
00:52:19For one reason.
00:52:21Julian Clark.
00:52:23Damien has nothing to do with that.
00:52:26He was just a messenger boy
00:52:28who picked up the contracts.
00:52:29What?
00:52:31When Julian was there,
00:52:32bribe or no bribe,
00:52:34Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:37But now,
00:52:38Julian's gone,
00:52:39so the special treatment is gone.
00:52:42Damien's little ribbing incident?
00:52:44It was just a convenient excuse
00:52:46to take everything back.
00:52:47Understand now?
00:52:52And about those flawless projects,
00:52:55Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly
00:52:57because Damien is brilliant.
00:53:00It ran smoothly because Julian
00:53:02called every partner,
00:53:04every supplier,
00:53:05every gatekeeper
00:53:06and cleared the path for you.
00:53:08Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:13No.
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
00:53:22when Julian leaves.
00:53:24Let's see if your exceptional Damien
00:53:26can keep everything perfect
00:53:28when Julian is not there
00:53:29to hold the world together for you.
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
00:53:51watching him waste his life away
00:53:54on 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
00:54:06is based off of my hard work.
00:54:09Okay, Nora Lawson,
00:54:09she's just attacking
00:54:10and slandering my name
00:54:12to defend Julian.
00:54:14You have to believe me.
00:54:15Please, you have to understand.
00:54:16Because of you,
00:54:18Crescent Lake is gone.
00:54:19Every Amber project is gone.
00:54:22Harper Enterprise
00:54:23is on the edge of collapse
00:54:25and 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,
00:54:33but we're not finished.
00:54:35I mean, we still have the partners
00:54:36and 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,
00:54:43I'm going to call
00:54:43and I'm going to get you
00:54:44some new projects right now.
00:54:49Hello, Mr. Foster.
00:54:50It's Damien here.
00:54:51I hear the Grandview Plaza
00:54:52is taking bids
00:54:53and Harper Enterprise,
00:54:55you know,
00:54:55we would absolutely love love.
00:54:57Harper Enterprise?
00:54:58Who the hell is that?
00:54:59Do you think you're even
00:55:00in the same league
00:55:01as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:03Uh, Mr. Foster,
00:55:06what do you mean?
00:55:07I, last time we spoke,
00:55:09you said that you believed
00:55:11in the Harper Enterprise
00:55:11and that you would love
00:55:12to work together.
00:55:13Listen up.
00:55:14That's because Julian Clark
00:55:16was in your damn enterprise.
00:55:17I was giving him respect.
00:55:20You don't flatter yourself,
00:55:22bunch of blind dumbasses.
00:55:23Call me again
00:55:24and I'll block your fucking number.
00:55:27So what really was Julian?
00:55:28No, no,
00:55:29that's not possible.
00:55:31I 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
00:55:35about future collaborations.
00:55:37Damien,
00:55:38you've got the fucking nerve
00:55:40to call me?
00:55:41I gave Harper Enterprise projects
00:55:43because of Mr. Clark
00:55:44and then you turned around
00:55:45and claimed you closed the deal?
00:55:48Who gave you the audacity?
00:55:50Shameless trash?
00:55:54Miss Parker.
00:55:56Miss Parker,
00:55:57no, no,
00:55:57God damn it!
00:55:59No, no,
00:56:00I don't believe this.
00:56:01I don't believe this.
00:56:02Fucking Julian
00:56:03this whole fucking time.
00:56:05God damn it.
00:56:06Sorry, sorry.
00:56:08Hello?
00:56:09Mr. Turner,
00:56:10it's Damien.
00:56:11Damien,
00:56:12who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:13Calling me directly?
00:56:15Learn some manners.
00:56:18Julian was polite enough
00:56:19to tolerate you playing
00:56:20sideman with his fiance.
00:56:22I'm not,
00:56:22you bastard too.
00:56:25Mr. Turner?
00:56:27Mr. Turner,
00:56:28please.
00:56:31What the fuck
00:56:32is happening?
00:56:39Miss Harper?
00:56:40This is bad.
00:56:41Our partners
00:56:42are flooding us
00:56:43with messages.
00:56:44They're suspending contracts,
00:56:45pulling out of deals.
00:56:46Wait,
00:56:46what is happening?
00:56:48They said before
00:56:49they only worked
00:56:50with Harper Enterprise
00:56:51because Julian Clark
00:56:52backed us.
00:56:53Now that he's gone,
00:56:53they don't trust us
00:56:54with their project.
00:56:56Julian.
00:56:58It's Julian again.
00:57:03No, it's true.
00:57:05They only gave us deals
00:57:07because of Julian.
00:57:09Julian!
00:57:10No, no, no, no.
00:57:10Swingo, please.
00:57:11Okay?
00:57:12They're just saying that
00:57:13because Julian has been
00:57:14paying them off.
00:57:15Think about it.
00:57:15Okay?
00:57:16You know what?
00:57:16Just give you some time
00:57:17and I'll get you
00:57:18some 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!
00:57:24You fraud, Damien!
00:57:26All those CEOs!
00:57:28They only had you
00:57:29pick up contracts
00:57:30from them
00:57:31and you told me
00:57:32you negotiated
00:57:33the deals.
00:57:34I swear.
00:57:35I didn't know
00:57:36that they would.
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
00:58:02to locking Serena down
00:58:04stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:05I'm not letting it end
00:58:06like this.
00:58:12Serena,
00:58:13you really thought
00:58:14you were smart.
00:58:16But you're really just
00:58:18pathetic
00:58:19trash
00:58:20without Julian,
00:58:22you're nothing.
00:58:33Dad warned you.
00:58:35Grandpa warned you.
00:58:37And you still
00:58:38wouldn't
00:58:40listen.
00:58:42You ignored
00:58:43everything Julian did
00:58:44and worshipped
00:58:45a con artist
00:58:47like
00:58:47Damien.

01:00:04Damn back.
01:00:09You don't have to be scared. Harper Enterprise is business, Queen.
01:00:14So much better than those cheap girls. Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine.
01:00:21Oh, Damien! You sick bastard!
01:00:25You sick bastard!
01:00:29Sweetheart, you really mean it. I love you.

01:01:16Julian.
01:01:17Julian, help!
01:01:21Get out of here! Stop! Let me go!
01:01:25Julian!
01:01:25Julian, you're always running the fucking lights. This is an offer.
01:01:32Julian!
01:01:34Thank God, you came and you had like...
01:01:36We are not that close.
01:01:40I was just passing through. I heard some screaming, so I stopped by to check.
01:01:44You.
01:01:44Wait. I want you to call the Harper family. Tell them to come pick her up.
01:01:48Yes, sir.
01:01:51Julian.
01:01:52I am sorry.
01:01:54I know. I was wrong.
01:01:56I just...
01:01:58Please come back.
01:01:59Julian!
01:02:01Our reservation is in ten minutes. Let's go.
01:02:11Serena.
01:02:13I told you.
01:02:15Over and over and over again.
01:02:19That Damien was not a good man.
01:02:22And you refused to listen.
01:02:25And Julian, if Julian doesn't come along, just at the right time...
01:02:30Oh my God.
01:02:32I can't even...
01:02:33I can't even think about it.
01:02:35If you don't do something about that stubborn pride of yours...
01:02:38One day...
01:02:39You live to regret it.
01:02:41Dad, Grandpa, please.
01:02:42Stop. I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:46I'll...
01:02:47I'll apologize...
01:02:49To Julian, and...
01:02:51I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:55The problem with that is that you may feel that way.
01:02:58But Julian might not.
01:03:00Grandpa...
01:03:02Don't worry.
01:03:04I... I will apologize properly.
01:03:07And I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:10That's all we can do.
01:03:13So, John...
01:03:14Put out a city-wide bolo on that bastard Damien.
01:03:19He put his hands on my granddaughter.

01:18:53do you love me
01:19:12It's true. Just please. Listen, please listen.
01:19:16Enough, Serena. When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise, do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:23Let me ask you this. If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed, if your value kept climbing, would you still be
01:19:29here standing in front of me today?
01:19:34No, no, you wouldn't. You absolutely wouldn't. You'd be celebrating.
01:19:38You'd say that you earned the business queen crown. You'd be mocking me, calling me pathetic.
01:19:43You'd say that firing me was the best decision you ever made. Plus, you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:19:48No. No, Serena. That's not me.
01:19:54Just admit it, Serena. You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:58But on my wedding day, you show up like some tragic devoted lover. Why?
01:20:02Because you want me back as your lifeline. Your donor. Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:07But the moment I stop being useful, you will kick me away again without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:13No. No, Julian. That is not true. The night that you saved me from Damien, I...
01:20:23I felt something for you. I did.
01:20:25Stop. Do not perform at my wedding.
01:20:28You don't regret hurting me.
01:20:30You regret choosing the wrong man.
01:20:32You regret that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:20:35You know, I'll admit, when I met you, you were exactly my type.
01:20:41But once I got to know you, once I realized what you really are, all I felt was disgust.
01:20:48But Nora, she has cared for me since we were kids.
01:20:56When I was sick, she stayed up all night taking care of me.
01:21:01When I was at my lowest, she pulled me back up.
01:21:04Even when I went back to Harper Enterprise on the engagement, she still supported me.
01:21:10She still took hits from me.
01:21:15So, let me ask you.
01:21:18Why would I give up all that for you?
01:21:22What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:29Get her out.
01:21:30No, no.
01:21:31No, please don't, Julian.
01:21:33Don't, don't, don't.
01:21:34I'm begging you, just please let me explain.
01:21:37Please.
01:21:38Please, please, please, 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, she can't stay on top.
01:21:50She used Julian's feelings like a weapon.
01:21:52Totally vampire-drained.
01:21:54I've been trying.
01:22:24Mr. Clark!
01:22:43I'm sure you've all heard.
01:22:45Harper Enterprise, affected today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:49So, we're all being terminated.
01:22:51Are you working?
01:22:54Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:22:56I've given this company 15 years. You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:23:0115 years, wow. Congratulations.
01:23:04You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:10You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:13I've seen how you all work.
01:23:17Bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud.
01:23:24Everyone beat us a mile.
01:23:26So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms.
01:23:30And once you sign them, hand over your badges, or you're going to rob him.
01:23:36This, this is it.
01:23:53Are you satisfied now?
01:23:56Satisfied?
01:23:57Thomas went to my grandfather.
01:23:59He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:24:04I saved you.
01:24:07Julian!
01:24:10If I didn't treat you the way I did, would any of this be different?
01:24:24Julian, why didn't you get thrown away and still land something better?
01:24:27I spent my whole life climbing upwards and now I'm stuck at the bottom, hunted by cops.
01:24:32I won't accept it.
01:24:34Julian, what's yours?
01:24:35Julian, let's go!
01:24:40Let me go! Fuck you, let me go!
01:24:42I already spared you!
01:24:43You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:46Yo, take him to the police.
01:24:47Get the best lawyer money can buy.
01:24:48I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:49Fucking coward!
01:24:50You're a fucking coward!
01:24:52Hiding behind your goddamn family's money!
01:24:54No, no, fight me!
01:24:55101!
01:24:55101!
01:24:56Let the guards go!
01:24:57You don't have the fucking guts to you!
01:25:03Hey, Julian.
01:25:04What was that?
01:25:06Just staking out the trash.
01:25:09Are you done here?
01:25:09Julian?
01:25:11No.
01:25:12Let's go.
01:25:19I was wrong!
01:25:21Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:25Julian, I was wrong!
