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'm drowning.
00:00:16Help me up here, I'm drowning.
00:00:19Help me up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:23No, you have to buy.
00:00:24I need you to buy the stock, or I'll do it.
00:00:26You 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. 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.
00:00:48Julia, 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. 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?
00:01:34Julian, Damien's assistant called.
00:01:36Called in all hands. All department leads. Conference room in ten minutes.
00:01:40Chairman's orders.
00:01:41Why would Damien call in the meeting? He despises you.
00:01:46Watch your back.
00:01:46And you gave.
00:01:48In all hands .
00:01:54Now.
00:02:14Today, Damien successfully neutralized the short attack against Harper
00:02:19and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:21Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:29Since when does Damien own house of takeover from a hole in the ground?
00:02:32He must have stole this one from someone else.
00:02:34Remember what he did to Anthony from Investments?
00:02:37Damien took credit for his deal.
00:02:39Anthony pushed back, and Damien used his pool with Serena to get him fired.
00:02:47Hello? Is there a problem?
00:02:51Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the fire, the least that every single one of you
00:02:55can do.
00:02:55Damien!
00:02:58Of course.
00:03:00Questions?
00:03:02I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:11Julian, our company just went through a crisis, and you're up here gaming?
00:03:16Keep sharing. I'm listening.
00:03:20This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:25Wait, I'm sorry, everyone.
00:03:27I forgot.
00:03:29You're just the resident good for nothing.
00:03:31My strategies, you probably couldn't comprehend them, let alone ask a decent goddamn question.
00:03:39Well, since you're so keen on getting my contribution, let's start with a question.
00:03:44Which funds were behind the short attack?
00:03:46And what was their distinct objective?
00:03:48And what specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:50Doesn't matter.
00:03:51What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:53You can't even name the enemy?
00:03:55All right, fine.
00:03:56Next question.
00:03:57Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights?
00:04:00And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:03Well...
00:04:05Well...
00:04:07Well...
00:04:08Well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:11All right.
00:04:12So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room,
00:04:15the countermeasures for a potential proxies fight,
00:04:17or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:23Let's be real.
00:04:26You are nothing but a gloryhound who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees for you.
00:04:35Oh!
00:04:40You!
00:04:40A useless, game-addicted fucking loser dare to question me?
00:04:44You know what, Clark?
00:04:46You're fucking fired!
00:04:48Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:59You hear that, Dad?
00:05:01I guess the verdict is get the fuck out.
00:05:05Understood.
00:05:07Now, the hearing's not enough.
00:05:08I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company now.
00:05:16You took our family's market cap and raised it to $3 trillion.
00:05:21You proved everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:23Now, uh, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:27Harper's, uh, old friends, good staff, you know?
00:05:31Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper.
00:05:34What you're talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:36Feelings could grow, brat.
00:05:38Our families go way back.
00:05:40Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:42Um, my life, my choice.
00:05:45Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure...
00:05:47Enough!
00:05:48Oh, that's it.
00:05:49You're going to do this.
00:05:51I've already arranged everything.
00:05:52You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:55Go work with Serena.
00:05:57And date her properly, hmm?
00:06:02You refuse.
00:06:04Okay.
00:06:05Nurse, Dr. Ann, check it out.
00:06:07Well, grandson won't listen.
00:06:09What's the point?
00:06:09Okay.
00:06:10Let the heart attack take me now.
00:06:11Okay, all right.
00:06:12I'll go.
00:06:14I know what I'm asking.
00:06:17For years, you've carried this family on your back.
00:06:21We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:23The Harper's never in trouble.
00:06:25We do not abandon our own.
00:06:28Use that brilliant head of yours.
00:06:32And help them.
00:06:33Please.
00:06:34For me.
00:06:36Fine.
00:06:37I'll do it.
00:06:39I hear you.
00:06:47For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked.
00:06:50Using every resource, every contact to help her.
00:06:52I pulled Harper Enterprise from the brink of bankruptcy and made it soar.
00:06:56I made Serena Harper the queen of the city's business world.
00:06:59And for what?
00:07:01So she could give my triumphs and victories to that sycophant Damien?
00:07:05It's time to come home.
00:07:12You asked for my opinion, and you couldn't handle it.
00:07:15So, pathetic.
00:07:17I said you're fired.
00:07:18Get your shit and get the fuck out of my phone.
00:07:21I heard you.
00:07:22I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay, and then I'm gone.
00:07:25I said now!
00:07:26Or I'm going to call security.
00:07:27I'm going to drag your ass out.
00:07:29Suit yourself.
00:07:31Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:36Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:39You will leave.
00:07:40Now, do not disrupt this company any further.
00:07:43Serena, is that really the best play you want to make here?
00:07:45I will not repeat it.
00:07:47And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:49You know what, Serena?
00:07:51Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:58You don't push your luck, Clark.
00:08:00The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the first place is because of your
00:08:04dusty fucking engagement to Serena.
00:08:06And you have the audacity to act all high and mighty?
00:08:09You're fucking nothing.
00:08:10You're a little trust fund, entitled piece of shit baby.
00:08:14I mean, even your fiancé is telling you to get lost.
00:08:16So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost before I fucking report what?
00:08:28You broke my teeth.
00:08:31You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole?
00:08:32$100,000!
00:08:37We lost your balance.
00:08:38Maybe work on your course rate.
00:08:40Julian, that is enough.
00:08:42Disrupting proceedings?
00:08:43Assault?
00:08:44Destruction of property?
00:08:46As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:49Effective immediately.
00:08:51Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:53Serena, he broke my watch.
00:08:54The gift you got me for my birthday, he has to pay for it.
00:08:57Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:08:59Either pay up, or I swear you're going to rot in jail.
00:09:05Fine.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:08Is it $100,000?
00:09:10What $100,000?
00:09:11It's a million.
00:09:13A million for that.
00:09:14It's a gift from Serena.
00:09:15It's priceless.
00:09:17A million dollars being generous.
00:09:18You can fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:20A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:23He does have a point card.
00:09:24You break it, you buy it.
00:09:26That's the rule.
00:09:28Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:35Well, you're going to wire me the money?
00:09:38Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:40And if so, you can crawl out of here, and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:46So what if you're Serena's fiance?
00:09:49Look at her now.
00:09:50She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:54A million dollars.
00:09:55That's the final offer.
00:09:57What 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.
00:10:23You just called for a million dollars in cash, like a stakeout?
00:10:27What's next?
00:10:28A private army?
00:10:29All right, Julian.
00:10:30The charade ends now.
00:10:31Leave the company, and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:33But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:37We are done.
00:10:39You sure?
00:10:40Whoa, whoa, you heard that, Julian?
00:10:42Your engagement's over.
00:10:43Now get out before I throw you-
00:10:44Get your hands off me!
00:10:49Put your fucking hands on me.
00:10:51You know what?
00:10:52I'm going to wipe that smug fucking look off your face!
00:10:58Enough!
00:11:03Mr. Ruth.
00:11:07That's David Brooks.
00:11:08Prisoner of Harvey View Bank.
00:11:09What's a Wall Street Titan doing on our conference?
00:11:12Do you think it has to do it to a hundred million loan?
00:11:14It can't be.
00:11:14That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal revolving.
00:11:19Mr. Clark.
00:11:21The one million.
00:11:22As requested.
00:11:43Mr. Brooks, personally delivering cash to Julian?
00:11:50Wait, the money is real?
00:11:53Wait, uh, delivered by Mr. Brooks.
00:11:55I mean, wait, who are you?
00:12:00Much appreciated.
00:12:01You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:09Mr. Brooks, sir, we are so honored by your visit.
00:12:14My grandfather, he speaks of you often.
00:12:16I'm sure he'd love to get a round of golf scheduled with me sometime.
00:12:20Mr. Clark, is there anything else you require?
00:12:24My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:26No, thank you.
00:12:27You can go down, of course.
00:12:36A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting?
00:12:41Unprofessional.
00:12:42I'm suspending a hundred million dollar deal.
00:12:44We'll reassess when there's a adult supervision.
00:12:47Yes, sir.
00:12:49Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:53Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:55Let's see him explain this to the chairman.
00:12:56The chairman won't have his head.
00:12:59This is all your fault, all right?
00:13:01You gotta fix this.
00:13:02You call him back here and get that loan reinstated,
00:13:04or I swear I'm gonna...
00:13:05You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:08As for us...
00:13:11One million.
00:13:12In full.
00:13:13Which makes this watch...
00:13:19It's mine.
00:13:20You arrogant.
00:13:22Son of a bitch!
00:13:23Son of a bitch!
00:13:24Son of a bitch!
00:13:27I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it?
00:13:28I bet you ought to sell your house to scrape this together, you fucking loser.
00:13:36But it's all mine now.
00:13:38Yeah, sure.
00:13:38The debt for the watch is settled.
00:13:40But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:42That useless piece of junk, how much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:45I don't know, maybe about a hundred million?
00:13:49A hundred million dollars!
00:13:54For a laptop?
00:13:55Have you lost your mind?
00:13:58A hundred million.
00:14:00For a laptop.
00:14:01Julian.
00:14:02The law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:05Which your committee is extortion.
00:14:07That's illegal!
00:14:08So, him extorting me for a million was legal, then, right?
00:14:12By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago, huh?
00:14:16That's a concern.
00:14:17Enough!
00:14:18Julian.
00:14:20You know, I know you think you're right, but a stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars.
00:14:26A hundred million dollars?
00:14:27I mean, dream on.
00:14:29Sure, a standard stellar isn't worth that much, but this isn't a standard, is it?
00:14:34What is it, made of gold?
00:14:35Even then, it still wouldn't cost a hundred million fucking dollars.
00:14:38You know what?
00:14:39You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:48Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:50That's Bill Sullivan.
00:14:52SVP for stellar.
00:14:53Here?
00:14:54You think it's about the $300 million partnership here?
00:14:56$300 million?
00:14:57I mean, that's huge for us, but pocket change for Stella.
00:15:00Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:03Mr. Sullivan?
00:15:04Uh, what an unexpected honor.
00:15:07I'm Sabrina Harper, uh, CEO.
00:15:09What do we owe the...
00:15:10Mr. Clark, the security have detected an urgent impact alert from your device,
00:15:14and the signal originated here.
00:15:16You have a concern for your safety immediately.
00:15:19Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian, too?
00:15:21Because his laptop impact triggered an alarm?
00:15:24Unbelievable.
00:15:25Mr. Clark, are you all right?
00:15:27Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:28It just took a fall.
00:15:31God, this damage is significant.
00:15:33With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate, this could be $30 million.
00:15:41$30 million?
00:15:43No, no, no, no.
00:15:43To fix a fucking laptop?
00:15:46That's impossible!
00:15:47There's no way!
00:15:48Are you questioning me?
00:15:49No, I just...
00:15:50I'll open your eyes.
00:15:51This is a one-off laptop with Stellar's quantum processors and proprietary components.
00:15:56You better pray that those data partitions are intact, or that compensation will ruin you.
00:16:00I just had the critical, critical data corruption here.
00:16:04It's highly confidential files, high market value.
00:16:07For you, I mean, with our declarations, this is at least $70 million.
00:16:13That's $70 million!
00:16:15Mr. Clark has the data on his laptop registered with monetary values to the security division.
00:16:21All damages to our fullest extent.
00:16:24Here.
00:16:25Receipts for the hardware and the notarized value declarations for the data.
00:16:29See for yourself.
00:16:39Who carries around a $100 million laptop?
00:16:46Who exactly are you?
00:16:47You don't get to know.
00:16:49In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:52There's no way that there's a fucking laptop that costs $100 million.
00:16:55You know what?
00:16:56This is a fucking scam.
00:16:57These two, they're working together.
00:16:59I'm telling you, it's a con.
00:17:00Are you serious?
00:17:01I'm Blake Sullivan.
00:17:03I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:05I don't fly across the city of Skim and nobody like you.
00:17:07Listen, I'm so...
00:17:09Ms. Harper, this is the employee you hire?
00:17:12He's a fool.
00:17:13And it speaks volumes by your company's judgment.
00:17:16Oh, by the way, our partnership deal?
00:17:19Consider it terminated.
00:17:21What?
00:17:21Um, Mr. Sullivan, please.
00:17:24Damien is just...
00:17:25He's stressy.
00:17:26He didn't mean...
00:17:27Save it.
00:17:28You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:31You, if you dispute evaluations, we can settle it in court.
00:17:35My legal team has 965 lawyers.
00:17:38I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:43Stellar's legal team is legendary.
00:17:45He never lost.
00:17:46Damien can't fight this.
00:17:48Hell, the entire Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this.
00:17:52He's done for.
00:17:55It's your name of hell.
00:17:57Please.
00:18:01Please.
00:18:05Mr. Sullivan.
00:18:07Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation.
00:18:10Will that suffice?
00:18:11I'm just here to certify facts.
00:18:13You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:18Full payment.
00:18:19In my account.
00:18:21Within three days.
00:18:23In that case, we're done here.
00:18:25Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else.
00:18:28I'll do it.
00:18:29Mr. Sullivan, are our partners...
00:18:30Miss Harper.
00:18:32Get your house in order first.
00:18:34Stellar has standards.
00:18:35We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:38That'll be all.
00:18:39Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:40That's funny.
00:18:42Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:43A 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!
00:18:56We don't need someone like you worrying about it!
00:18:59He's right.
00:19:01Julian, I give you my word.
00:19:02The full amount will be paid within three days.
00:19:04But under one condition.
00:19:06Our engagement ends for good.
00:19:09And you will leave Harper Enterprise.
00:19:12Now.
00:19:13You hear that, Julian?
00:19:15You know, I'll admit it.
00:19:15Yeah, you got the money.
00:19:16But it's not about what you made.
00:19:17It's your family's fucking money.
00:19:19And now you're just a spoiled little trust fund baby who's been fired.
00:19:22So get the fuck out!
00:19:24Get the fuck out?
00:19:26One of us just torpedoed a hundred million dollar loan and a three hundred million dollar deal.
00:19:31Remind me, which one of us should actually get the fuck out?
00:19:35Serena, I think it is actually time to call your grandfather.
00:19:37He could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:42Stop.
00:19:43Stop!
00:19:48This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper!
00:19:52Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:19:55Funny.
00:19:56Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill.
00:19:58Remind me, which one of us is the real boy toy?
00:20:03You...
00:20:13Get the fuck out!
00:20:15Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have.
00:20:18This is Harper Enterprise.
00:20:20I'm the one in charge here.
00:20:23Security, remove him.
00:20:28Julian, please, don't make us get physical.
00:20:30I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in.
00:20:32You really want to lay hands on me?
00:20:35Chairman Harper brought you in?
00:20:37Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:40What do you think you are?
00:20:41You think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:44Julian, I've already given you more courtesy than you deserve.
00:20:46The more you cling on like this, the more disgusting you become to me.
00:20:52Do it.
00:20:55Well, looks like I don't need that phone call.
00:20:57Still running your mouth, huh?
00:20:58Move.
00:20:59Get him the fuck out of here.
00:21:05What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:09Stand down!
00:21:10All of you!
00:21:11You!
00:21:12Out of here!
00:21:12Now!
00:21:13Dad?
00:21:14Grandpa?
00:21:14What are you doing here?
00:21:21Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's going on today.
00:21:26I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:30Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:34Chairman Harper apologizing to Julian?
00:21:38Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:42Chairman Harper, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games.
00:21:45How could you possibly?
00:21:47Shut up!
00:21:54How dare you disrespect Julian!
00:21:58Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has.
00:22:00You can't just hit people!
00:22:01I wish we hit him more.
00:22:03Serena, do you even have any idea who Julian Clark is?
00:22:08We didn't tell you everything because of your ego.
00:22:10And I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:22:12We were going to announce everything once the engagement was formally set.
00:22:16But who knew?
00:22:17Serena, you've been blind.
00:22:20Julian is...
00:22:21Thomas, you can't force something that isn't there.
00:22:23No real feelings.
00:22:25No need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:27Julian, please, understand.
00:22:29Julian, all of this is on us.
00:22:31Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harperfield.
00:22:35Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:41Apologize to Julian, now!
00:22:43No!
00:22:44I don't care who you are, Julian.
00:22:47To me, you're still just a spoiled brat who thinks of himself as some sort of genius.
00:22:52But in reality, all you know is playing video games.
00:22:57I see right through you, and I will not apologize to you!
00:23:02Serena, enough!
00:23:03Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:05Let me apologize.
00:23:06Save it.
00:23:08Serena can't manage an apology herself.
00:23:10Then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:15Issue my order.
00:23:17Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:19Cease every protective measure, effective immediately.
00:23:22Julian, please, don't!
00:23:24Without you, this place doesn't survive.
00:23:27Look!
00:23:29Whoa!
00:23:30What?
00:23:33What?
00:23:35Oh, I guess you could have just pulled the orders.
00:23:37What do you mean?
00:23:38Hospital takeover.
00:23:39All of our investors pulled out.
00:23:41How can that be?
00:23:46Harper Enterprise stock plunges 30% in minutes, wiping out billions in market value.
00:23:52What?
00:23:52My entire division just stopped.
00:23:54We can't operate like this.
00:23:55A stunning reversal.
00:23:57Harper Enterprise's many allies withdraw their investments in an instant, leaving the group
00:24:02facing massive losses.
00:24:04Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:08Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:10Why did Harper Enterprise suddenly lose power?
00:24:13What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:16How is that possible?
00:24:19Are you attacking the company?
00:24:20No matter who is behind this, I, Sherita, will never bow down to you.
00:24:27Harper Enterprise will not yield to any market attacks.
00:24:30Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks.
00:24:32Harper, this isn't a race.
00:24:34Our major partners are terminating their contracts, and our own liquidity can't cover the gas.
00:24:40If this continues, the stocks will crash straight through the floor.
00:24:44What did you say?
00:24:46Damn it.
00:24:47How could that trash have such kind of power?
00:24:50Why him?
00:24:51I won't accept this.
00:24:52I 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.
00:25:00No!
00:25:04Serena, apologize.
00:25:08Serena.
00:25:18Serena, Serena, do not apologize.
00:25:20Harper Enterprises is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
00:25:24You really think we can't survive without him?
00:25:26Let's just get through this crisis, and I swear I will make him pay for everything that he has done
00:25:31to you.
00:25:32No!
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:35No, your fucking fault.
00:25:36You apologize to Julian right now!
00:25:38Get on your knees!
00:25:40Dad!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:43Damien!
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?
00:26:00Whoever 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.
00:26:11You hate bullies who throw their weight around, right?
00:26:14What about this guy?
00:26:15What 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 $100,000 watch.
00:26:24Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:26Oh, I...
00:26:28But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:31Yeah, you're no saint.
00:26:34You're just biased.
00:26:36You know, I've been engaged to you for the past six months.
00:26:39I have asked you out 37 times.
00:26:42Yeah, because 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 sing your praises, right?
00:26:58Who's that?
00:26:59Oh, let me guess.
00:27:00Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:05Just ignore him.
00:27:07Is he still your fiancé?
00:27:09Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:13I just...
00:27:14I can't stand him.
00:27:15A spoiled heir who thinks the world revolves around him?
00:27:20So what if I did?
00:27:22Who I choose to hang out with is my own choice.
00:27:25We're engaged, not married.
00:27:28I can see whoever I want.
00:27:30Serena, shut up.
00:27:31No, I am not done.
00:27:34Damien has worked himself to the bone.
00:27:37He is driven and disciplined.
00:27:39And when Harper first went public, he was a key reason that we made it.
00:27:43If you had even half his talent, Julian,
00:27:46maybe I would have said yes to it once.
00:27:49But you don't.
00:27:53Damien was a key reason you made it.
00:27:55That'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,
00:28:04all of your proposals have sailed through?
00:28:06Why every deal that you like happened to have closed?
00:28:09Why every time that you wanted a loan,
00:28:11the bank's rolled out a special fast track for you.
00:28:13Because Damien is brilliant.
00:28:15Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way.
00:28:18Damien?
00:28:19Brilliant?
00:28:20That was Julian.
00:28:22Julian is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together.
00:28:27Serena!
00:28:29No, that is impossible.
00:28:31I don't believe it!
00:28:41Hey.
00:28:42Eyes up, Serena.
00:28:43In the past six months,
00:28:45I've called in 47 separate connections
00:28:47and cleared a path for you.
00:28:48Oh, 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,
00:28:55and even Silver Line.
00:28:56Those are all the top 50 global giants.
00:28:58They've all been begging us behind the scenes?
00:29:00No wonder every project went so smoothly.
00:29:03Julian's the one with this kind of network.
00:29:05Damien's got some nerves stealing credit for something like this.
00:29:08That's a death wish.
00:29:12No, no, no.
00:29:13It's not true, huh?
00:29:15Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me
00:29:17and my hard work and my connections.
00:29:19Oh, you perry good fool.
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here
00:29:24and steal credit from everything?
00:29:31All right, that's enough.
00:29:34I finally got the all clear for my grandfather
00:29:36and I can go home.
00:29:37So as of right now,
00:29:39our engagement is terminated.
00:29:41Julian, all of this has been our fault.
00:29:43But the engagement...
00:29:45Let him go.
00:29:46I don't need a fiancé
00:29:47who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:52Without my connections and my network,
00:29:55Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:57It's going to go right back
00:29:58to where it was six months ago.
00:30:04Prepare yourselves.
00:30:05Julian.
00:30:07Stop it.
00:30:08Julian.
00:30:11Serena.
00:30:13You silly, foolish, foolish girl.
00:30:16Grandpa, I have never been clearer.
00:30:19With or without him,
00:30:20I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:22Serena's right.
00:30:23Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper,
00:30:25I'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.
00:30:30I'm going to beat the crap out of you once and for all.
00:30:33Dad, that is enough.
00:30:35Dad?
00:30:37Grandpa?
00:30:38I know you have your issues with Damien,
00:30:40but I believe he will prove himself to you
00:30:43and so will I.
00:30:46I will show everyone here
00:30:48that what Harper achieved over the past six months
00:30:50was 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!
00:31:00God!
00:31:00Tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:07Serena!
00:31:08Serena!
00:31:09Don't even worry about that.
00:31:11I 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,
00:31:16and everyone will still think that we're in control.
00:31:19Easy.
00:31:20The $3 billion Crescent Lake project.
00:31:23If we can win that contract,
00:31:25we can wipe all the problems we've been facing.
00:31:29Damien,
00:31:29you'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.
00:31:37You can count on me.
00:31:39Amber Group's deputy VP of projects?
00:31:41I 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.
00:31:55Once the Harper team arrives,
00:31:57we hand it straight to them.
00:31:58Miss Lawson,
00:31:59we 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,
00:32:14and then Serena personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:17Serena really thinks she got where she is because of Damien?
00:32:20That for your little laptop?
00:32:22Then,
00:32:22do we still hand the Crescent Lake project over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:27Without Julian,
00:32:28Harper 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,
00:32:47Crescent Lake's public bid is coming up soon.
00:32:49How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:06What does this mean, huh?
00:33:08Mr. Brooks,
00:33:08why don't you do yourself a favor and take a closer look?
00:33:12That's one million in clean crypto,
00:33:16untraceable.
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.
00:33:27You're too kind.
00:33:29Sure,
00:33:29it's a public bidding on paper,
00:33:31but, uh,
00:33:33as long as I'm here,
00:33:34you've got nothing to worry about.
00:33:37Sit tight.
00:33:39Contract's yours.
00:33:41Miss Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises
00:33:44whatever they want anyway.
00:33:46Well,
00:33:48thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:34:16Well, wow.
00:34:21All right, Serena kicked you out.
00:34:24Six months of hard work down the drain.
00:34:28It was up for you.
00:34:30Oh, I see.
00:34:31So you brought me to your party
00:34:33just to mock me a little bit.
00:34:34Is that right?
00:34:35Of course.
00:34:39No, I'm here to steal you.
00:34:42You see,
00:34:44since your engagement is off,
00:34:47I was thinking,
00:34:49how about you consider me, huh?
00:34:54Guys like us,
00:34:55we don't get to escape alliances.
00:34:57Our families will bear us off either way,
00:35:00so
00:35:02why pick a stranger
00:35:03when there's someone who
00:35:06actually knows you?
00:35:07you see?
00:35:09Childhood friends,
00:35:11same circles,
00:35:1415 years of school.
00:35:16We match.
00:35:18You know?
00:35:19We fit.
00:35:21Hang on.
00:35:23Nora,
00:35:23are you saying this because
00:35:25you're drunk,
00:35:25or do you...
00:35:34I'm not drunk.
00:35:35Okay?
00:35:36You don't have to answer me tonight.
00:35:38Just think about it.
00:35:40Hmm?
00:35:41I'm not drunk.
00:35:45Ah!
00:35:46Ah!
00:35:50A-
00:36:11I told you, I'm not drunk.
00:36:13All right, this one should come off.
00:36:16Oh, shit.
00:36:17I'm drunk.
00:36:19All right, this one should come off.
00:36:22Oh, shit.
00:36:23I'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, aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:05Amber Group's CEO got caught in a scandal at a pool party?
00:37:09Remember, Mom knows tomorrow's 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, I think my heart's going
00:37:27to skip on its chest.
00:37:41And suffer, okay?
00:37:44If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:53Please, please, please, walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:37:58Okay.
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 prettier than Serena.
00:38:44How 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.
00:39:00Is that so?
00:39:01You know, I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Crescent League project.
00:39:09What, you're bidding too?
00:39:11Yeah, I know you've got connection and that's great, you know.
00:39:13But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:15Me, I got real talent, all right?
00:39:17And I'm going to win Crescent League for Serena.
00:39:20You, you're just going to fucking lose.
00:39:21I can lose everything else.
00:39:24Good luck.
00:39:36See that?
00:39:37That is a shameless whore.
00:39:40That woman seems familiar.
00:39:42So, man, 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?
00:40:27You'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.
00:40:35Okay.
00:40:36You can do classy?
00:40:37Yeah.
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?
00:41:08Julia?
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.
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.
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.
00:42:04You 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.
00:42:29Mind, 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 back?
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, I'm going to tell you, you want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:15Because every time I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune, capital 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?
00:43:38You're the Amber Group CEO or something?
00:43:41Who gave you the fucking guts?
00:43:43It's adorable, though.
00:43:44Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:43:47Anti-anti-anti-corruption?
00:43:50No.
00:44:02What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:04Hmm?
00:44:07You hit me.
00:44:09You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:12I'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.
00:44:23You mean my friend?
00:44:24There's a woman here.
00:44:26She says she's going to report 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 Lawson?
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?
00:44:46This 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 some gold-dicking whore.
00:44:58I mean, even if she rats you out, who's going to believe this?
00:45:01Oh!
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?
00:45:15This Lawson, this 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, wait.
00:45:31You're Nora Lawson, Amber's group CEO?
00:45:34How is that possible?
00:45:36How is that fucking...
00:45:36Mr. Brooks!
00:45:37Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:40Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:43We promise we won't let you down.
00:45:48Stop!
00:45:48Shut the fuck up!
00:45:50When did I ever give you anything?
00:45:53Miss Lawson?
00:45:55These Harper Enterprise people, they're all out of their minds.
00:45:59They lie like the wind.
00:46:01I 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.
00:46:20Um...
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, um, inappropriate.
00:46:29Um, but I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:33He is blunt.
00:46:34Yes.
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 I secured every project right.
00:47:11She'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.
00:47:20Uh, go?
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.
00:47:31Wait, wait.
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...
00:47:42I...
00:47:54You want to understand the rules on top there, sweetheart?
00:47:57Technology capital.
00:48:00Useless fucking trash.
00:48:02What?
00:48:03Shit!
00:48:04She actually recorded it?
00:48:05I know, escort.
00:48:06So, why don't you do us all a nice little favor, get up on that stage, give us a nice
00:48:10little whole show.
00:48:14Who is that?
00:48:15He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:18That's Damien 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 Enterprises 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.
00:48:34Just 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?
00:48:47That's a mean, please just see it.
00:48:49Mr. Brooks is very silly.
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, you're Amber Group CEO?
00:48:57Amber...
00:48:58Turn it off, please.
00:49:00Okay, okay.
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?
00:49:24Damien, 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...
00:49:32You told me the truth.
00:49:34Enough.
00:49:36Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:38Mason 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.
00:50:00No, 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.
00:50:08Then why am the person who hired Trash and 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 our 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, Damien was wrong to bribe anyone, and 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.
00:51:24Damien, Damien made a mistake, but his ability is exceptional.
00:51:30For six months, he managed every Harper Enterprise project flawlessly.
00:51:34No errors, no 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 or 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 Damien, right, 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.
00:52:23Damien has nothing to do with that.
00:52:26He was just a messenger boy who picked up the contracts.
00:52:30What?
00:52:31When Julian was there, bribe or no bribe, Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:37But now, Julian's gone, so the special treatment is gone.
00:52:42Damien's little ribbing incident?
00:52:44It was just a convenient excuse to take everything back.
00:52:47You understand now?
00:52:52And about those flawless projects, Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly because Damien is brilliant.
00:53:00It ran smoothly because Julian called every partner, every supplier, every gatekeeper, and cleared the path for you.
00:53:08Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:12No.
00:53:15That's not true. I 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 Damien can keep everything perfect
00:53:28when Julian is not there to 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 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, do 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, she's attacking and slandering my name to defend.
00:54:13Julian, you 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.
00:55:20You don't flatter yourself, bunch of blind dumbasses.
00:55:24Call 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?
00:55:38You've got the fucking nerve to call me?
00:55:41I gave Harper Enterprise projects 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?
00:55:54It's Parker.
00:55:56Mr. Parker, no, no, goddammit!
00:55:59No, I, I don't believe this.
00:56:01I don't believe it was fucking Julian this whole fucking time.
00:56:05Goddammit.
00:56:06Sorry, sorry.
00:56:07Um, hello?
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 fiance.
00:56:22I'm not, you bastard too.
00:56:26Mr. Turner.
00:56:27Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:31What the fuck is happening?
00:56:39Miss Harper?
00:56:40This is bad.
00:56:41Our partners are flooding us with messages.
00:56:44They're suspending contracts, pulling out a deal.
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, please, okay?
00:57:12They're just saying that because Julian has been paying them off.
00:57:15Think about it, okay?
00:57:16You know what?
00:57:16Just give you some time and I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:19I'll get you some new projects, I swear.
00:57:21Get 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, that they, that they wouldn't.
00:57:39Get out of my sight.
00:57:42Now!
00:58:00Fuck!
00:58:01Damn it!
00:58:01No!
00:58:01I 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, like, learned everything Julian did and worshipped a con artist like Damien.
00:58:51Stupid.
00:59:00And now, look at you.
00:59:04Projects gone.
00:59:06Company collapsing.
00:59:10Idiot.
00:59:11Arrogant.
00:59:13Stupid.
00:59:14Idiot.
00:59:16So stupid.
00:59:23Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:32I'm so sorry.
00:59:33So you need to listen.
00:59:36I know I messed up.
00:59:39Whoa!
00:59:44Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:47I know, I know.
00:59:48I know, I might as well.
00:59:49Look here.
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, Julian.
01:00:14So much better than those cheap girls.
01:00:17Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprises' mind.
01:00:21Oh, Damien!
01:00:23You sick bastard!
01:00:25You sick bastard!

01:00:46I'm begging you, don't!
01:00:48Yes, yes.
01:00:50What are you doing?
01:00:55You're fucking dead!
01:00:56Ashley, help me!
01:00:58I tried being nice to you.
01:01:00I fucking tried!
01:01:01But you keep fighting me back!
01:01:04Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:05Keep fucking screaming!
01:01:07Right?

01:01:25Julian, you're always running the fucking lanes.
01:01:27This isn't over.
01:01:32Julian!
01:01:33Thank God you came!
01:01:35If you hadn't, I...
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.
01:01:51Julian.
01:01:52I am sorry.
01:01:54I know.
01:01:55I was wrong.
01:01:57I just...
01:01:57Please come back.
01:01:59Julian!
01:02:01Julian!
01:02:01Our reservation is in 10 minutes.
01:02:03Let'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.
01:02:26And Julian...
01:02:27If Julian doesn't come along...
01:02:28Just 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.
01:02:43I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:46I'll...
01:02:47I'll apologize.
01:02:49To Julian.
01:02:50And...
01:02:51I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:55The problem with that is that...
01:02:56You may feel that way.
01:02:58But Julian might not.
01:03:01Grandpa...
01:03:02Don't worry.
01:03:04I...
01:03:05I 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 citywide bolo...
01:03:17On that bastard Damien.
01:03:19He put his hands on my granddaughter.

01:21:54thank you
01:22:24Mr. Clark!
01:22:43I'm sure you've all heard. Harper Enterprise, affected today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:49So, we're all being terminated.
01:22:51What?
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. You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a
01:23:07suit.
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 file.
01:23:26So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms, and once you sign them, hand over your badges, or
01:23:34you're going to rot in jail.
01:23:36This! This is it!
01:23:53Are you satisfied, Mal?
01:23:56Satisfied?
01:23:58Thomas 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 did 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. I won't accept
01:24:32it.
01:24:34Julian, watch out!
01:24:35Julian!
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?
01:24:46Go on, take him to the police.
01:24:47Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:48I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:50Fucking 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!
01:25:22I was wrong!
01:25:23No!
01:25:24No!
01:25:24I was wrong!
01:25:25I was wrong!
01:25:25I life!
01:25:26You're right!
01:25:26You're right!
01:25:26You really did that.
01:25:27You mean how?
