00:00:01Breaking news. Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack.
00:00:05In the past hour alone, the conglomerate has lost over a billion dollars in arguing situations.
00:00:20I need you to buy the stock, all right?
00:00:24This isn't some random dip.
00:00:27Whoever's shorting us came prepared. They're tearing us apart.
00:00:30We can't hold the line. We're about to become the laughingstock of Wall Street.
00:00:33No, no, we're not finished.
00:00:36We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:40The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:45Julia, we need you. Again.
00:00:48Shit. Shit.
00:00:52Give me a sec.
00:00:58Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:01Good, good, yeah. I just need to ask for a little favor.
00:01:09Julian, you saved my ass last time. I owe you. I'm moving liquidity to Harper now.
00:01:16Great.
00:01:21The stock price is recovering.
00:01:23How is that possible?
00:01:25Did Mr. Clark just fix this with a few calls?
00:01:28Julian, what would Harper do without you?
00:01:31Julian, Damien's assistant called.
00:01:33Called in all hands.
00:01:35All department leads.
00:01:36Conference room in 10 minutes.
00:01:37Chairman's orders.
00:01:39Why will Damien call in the meeting?
00:01:41He despises you.
00:01:43Watch your back.
00:02:10If you enjoyed work.
00:02:12Today, Damien successfully neutralized the short attack against Harper and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:18Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:26Since when does Damien own household takeover from a hole in the ground?
00:02:30He must have stole this wing from someone else.
00:02:32Remember what he did to Anthony from investments?
00:02:34Damien took credit for his deal, Anthony pushed back, and Damien used his pool of Serena to get him fired.
00:02:45Hello? Is there a problem?
00:02:48Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the fire, the least that every single one of you
00:02:52could do.
00:02:52Damien!
00:02:56Of course.
00:02:58Questions?
00:02:59I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:07Julian, your company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:13Keep sharing, I'm listening.
00:03:18This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:22Wait, I'm sorry everyone.
00:03:24I forgot.
00:03:26You're just the resident good for nothing.
00:03:28My strategies, you probably couldn't comprehend them, let alone ask a decent goddamn question.
00:03:36Well, since you're so keen on getting my contribution, we'll start with a question.
00:03:41Which funds were behind the short attack?
00:03:43And what was their distinct objective?
00:03:45And what specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:47Doesn't matter.
00:03:48What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:50You can't even name your enemy?
00:03:52Alright, fine.
00:03:53Next question.
00:03:55Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights?
00:03:57And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:00Well...
00:04:02Well...
00:04:05Well...
00:04:05Well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:09Alright.
00:04:09So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room,
00:04:13the countermeasures for a potential proxies fight,
00:04:15or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:21Let's...
00:04:21be real.
00:04:22Well...
00:04:23You...
00:04:23are nothing but a gloryhound...
00:04:25who steals credit...
00:04:27and bullies anyone who sees the real.
00:04:37You!
00:04:38A useless, game-addicted fucking loser dare to question me?
00:04:42You know what, Clark?
00:04:43You're fucking fired!
00:04:45Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:56You hear that, Dad?
00:04:58I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:03Understood.
00:05:05Now, a hearing's not enough.
00:05:06I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company.
00:05:08Now.
00:05:13You took our family's market cap...
00:05:16and raised it to three trillion dollars.
00:05:19You proved everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:21Now, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:24Harper's, uh...
00:05:25old friends...
00:05:27good staff...
00:05:28Grandpa...
00:05:29I've never even met Serena Harper.
00:05:31What you're talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:33Feelings can grow, brat.
00:05:36Our families go way back.
00:05:37Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:40My life.
00:05:41My choice.
00:05:42Look, when it comes to choosing my partner,
00:05:44I want to make sure that...
00:05:44Enough!
00:05:45Oh, that's it.
00:05:46You're going to do this.
00:05:48I've already arranged everything.
00:05:50You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:53Go work with Serena.
00:05:55And date her properly, hmm?
00:05:59You'll refuse.
00:06:01Okay.
00:06:02Nurse, doctor, I'm checking out.
00:06:04My own grandson will listen.
00:06:06What's the point?
00:06:07Okay.
00:06:07Let the heart attack take me now!
00:06:09Okay, alright.
00:06:09I'll go.
00:06:12I know when I pass, okay?
00:06:14For years, you've carried this family on your back.
00:06:18We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:21The Harper's never in trouble.
00:06:23We do not abandon our own.
00:06:26Use that brilliant head of yours.
00:06:28And help them.
00:06:31Please.
00:06:32For me.
00:06:33Fine.
00:06:34I'll do it.
00:06:37I hear you.
00:06:44For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked,
00:06:47using every resource, every contact to help her.
00:06:50I pulled Harper Enterprise from the brink of bankruptcy and made it soar.
00:06:54I made Serena Harper the queen of this city's business world.
00:06:57And for what?
00:06:58So she could give my triumphs and victories to that sycophant Damien?
00:07:03It's time to come home.
00:07:10You asked for my opinion, and you couldn't handle it.
00:07:13So, pathetic.
00:07:14I said you're fired.
00:07:15Get your shit and get the fuck out of my book.
00:07:18I heard you.
00:07:19I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay, and then I'm gone.
00:07:22I said now!
00:07:23Or else I'm gonna call security and you're gonna drag your ass out.
00:07:26Suit yourself.
00:07:28Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:33Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:36You will leave.
00:07:37Now, do not disrupt this company any further.
00:07:41Serena, is that really the best play you want to make here?
00:07:43I will not repeat it.
00:07:44And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:46You know what, Serena?
00:07:48Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:56You! Don't push your luck, Clark.
00:07:57The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the first place
00:08:00is because of your dusty fucking engagement to Serena.
00:08:03And you have the audacity to act all high and mighty?
00:08:06You're fucking nothing.
00:08:08You're a little trust-fun, entitled piece of shit baby.
00:08:11I mean, even your fiancé is telling you to get lost.
00:08:14So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost
00:08:16before I fucking...
00:08:19What?!
00:08:25You're broken.
00:08:26You're broke, my petite.
00:08:28You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole?
00:08:30A hundred thousand dollars!
00:08:34We lost your balance.
00:08:36Maybe work on your course sheet.
00:08:37Julian, that is enough.
00:08:39Disrupting proceedings?
00:08:40Assault?
00:08:41Destruction of property?
00:08:43As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:47Effective immediately.
00:08:48Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:50Serena, he broke my watch.
00:08:52The gift you got me for my birthday.
00:08:53He has to pay for it.
00:08:54Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:08:56Either pay up, or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:03Fine.
00:09:04Okay.
00:09:06Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:07What, one hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:09It's a million.
00:09:10A million for that.
00:09:11It's a gift from Serena.
00:09:13It's priceless.
00:09:14A million dollars being generous.
00:09:15You can fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:17A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:20He does have a point card.
00:09:22You break it, you buy it.
00:09:24That's the rule.
00:09:25Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:32Well, you gonna wire me the money?
00:09:35Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:37And if so, you can crawl out of here, and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:43So what if you're Serena's Beyonce?
00:09:47Look at her now.
00:09:47She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:51A million dollars.
00:09:53That's the final offer?
00:09:54What do you mean?
00:09:59Hi, I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:13I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:20You just called for a million dollars in cash?
00:10:23Like a stakeout?
00:10:24What's next? A private army?
00:10:27Alright Julian, the charade ends now.
00:10:28Leave the company and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:31But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:34We are done.
00:10:36You sure?
00:10:37Whoa, whoa, you heard that Julian?
00:10:39Your engagement's over.
00:10:40Now get out before I-
00:10:41Bro, get your hands off me!
00:10:46Put your fucking hands on me.
00:10:48You know what? I'm gonna wipe that smug fucking look off your face!
00:10:55Enough!
00:11:01Mr. Brooks!
00:11:04That's David Brooks, president of Harvey View Bank.
00:11:07What's a Wall Street titan doing on a conference room?
00:11:09Do you think it has to do with the hundred million loan?
00:11:11It can't be!
00:11:12That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:16Mr. Clark, the one million, as requested.
00:11:40Mr. Brooks, personally delivering cash? To Julian?
00:11:47Wait, the- the money is- it's real?
00:11:50Wait, uh-
00:11:50What?
00:11:51Delivered by Mr. Brooks?
00:11:52I mean-
00:11:53Wait, who are you?
00:11:57Much appreciated. You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:06Mr. Brooks!
00:12:07Sir, we are so honored by your visit.
00:12:11My grandfather, he speaks of you often.
00:12:13I'm sure he'd love to get a round of golf scheduled with you sometime.
00:12:18Mr. Clark, is there anything else you require?
00:12:21My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:23No, thank you.
00:12:24You can go now.
00:12:25Of course.
00:12:33A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting?
00:12:38Unprofessional.
00:12:39I'm suspending the hundred million dollar deal.
00:12:41Well, we'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision.
00:12:45Yes, sir.
00:12:46Mr. Brooks, I-
00:12:50Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:52Let's see him explain this to the chairman.
00:12:54The chairman will have his head.
00:12:56This is all your fault, alright?
00:12:58You gotta fix this.
00:12:59You call him back here and get that loan reinstated, or I swear I'm gonna-
00:13:02You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:05As for us...
00:13:09One million.
00:13:10In full.
00:13:11Which makes this watch...
00:13:16It's mine.
00:13:18You arrogant.
00:13:19Son of a bitch!
00:13:24I bet this is all the money you have, isn't it?
00:13:26I bet you ought to sell your house to scrape this together, you fucking loser.
00:13:33But it's all mine now.
00:13:35Yeah, sure. The debt for the watch is settled.
00:13:37But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:39That useless piece of junk, how much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:43I don't know, maybe about...
00:13:45A hundred million?
00:13:47A hundred million dollars!
00:13:51For a laptop? Have you lost your mind?
00:13:56A hundred million.
00:13:57For a laptop.
00:13:59Julian, the law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:03Which your committee is extortion.
00:14:05That's illegal!
00:14:06So, him extorting me for a million was legal then, right?
00:14:09By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago?
00:14:12Huh?
00:14:13That's a kisser.
00:14:14Enough!
00:14:15Julian, you know, I know you think you're right.
00:14:19What, a stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars?
00:14:23A hundred million dollars?
00:14:25I...
00:14:26Dream on.
00:14:27Sure, a standard stellar isn't worth that much.
00:14:29But this isn't a standard, is it?
00:14:31What, is it made of gold?
00:14:32Even then, it still wouldn't cost a hundred million fucking dollars!
00:14:36You know what?
00:14:37You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:46Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:48Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:48That's Bill Sullivan.
00:14:49SVP for Stellar.
00:14:51Here? You think it's about the three hundred million dollar partnership deal?
00:14:54Three hundred million?
00:14:55That's huge for us, Bill.
00:14:56Pocket change for Stellar.
00:14:58Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:00Mr. Sullivan.
00:15:02What an unexpected honor.
00:15:04I'm Serena Harper.
00:15:05Uh, CEO.
00:15:06Do...
00:15:06What do we owe the...
00:15:07Mr. Clark.
00:15:08The security have detected an urgent impact alert from your device.
00:15:12And the signal originated here.
00:15:14Be with concern for your safety and care immediately.
00:15:16Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian too?
00:15:18Because his laptop impact triggered an alarm.
00:15:21Unbelievable.
00:15:22Mr. Clark, are you alright?
00:15:24Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:25It just...
00:15:25Took a fall.
00:15:28God, this damage is significant.
00:15:31With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate, this could be thirty million.
00:15:39Thirty million dollars?
00:15:40No, no, no, no.
00:15:41To fix a fucking laptop?
00:15:43That's impossible!
00:15:44There's no way!
00:15:45Are you questioning me?
00:15:46No, I just...
00:15:47I'll open your eyes.
00:15:48This is a one-off laptop with Stellar's quantum processors and proprietary components.
00:15:53You better pray that those data partitions are intact or that compensation will ruin you.
00:15:57I just had the critical, critical data corruption here.
00:16:01It's highly confidential files, high market value.
00:16:05I mean, with our declarations, this is at least seventy million dollars.
00:16:11That's seventy million dollars!
00:16:12Mr. Clark has the data on his laptop registered with monetary values to the security division.
00:16:18All damages to our fullest extent.
00:16:21Here.
00:16:23Receipts for the hardware and the notarized value declarations for the data.
00:16:27See for yourself.
00:16:36Who carries around a hundred million dollar laptop?
00:16:43Who exactly are you?
00:16:44You don't get to know.
00:16:47In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:49And there's no way that there's a fucking laptop that costs a hundred million dollars.
00:16:53You know what?
00:16:53This is a fucking scam.
00:16:54These two, they're working together.
00:16:56I'm telling you, it's a cot.
00:16:57Are you serious?
00:16:58I'm Blake Sullivan.
00:17:00I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:02I don't fly across the city of Skim and nobody like you.
00:17:05Listen, I'm so...
00:17:06Ms. Harper, this is the employee you hire.
00:17:10He's a fool.
00:17:11And it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:14Oh, by the way, our partnership deal?
00:17:16Consider it terminated.
00:17:18What?
00:17:20Mr. Sullivan, please.
00:17:21Damien is just...
00:17:23He's stressy.
00:17:24He didn't mean...
00:17:25Save it.
00:17:25You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:29And you, if you dispute evaluations, we can settle it in court.
00:17:32My legal team has 965 lawyers.
00:17:36I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:40Stellar's legal team is legendary.
00:17:42He never laws.
00:17:44Damien can't fight this.
00:17:45Hell, the entire Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this.
00:17:50He's done for.
00:17:53Swimming up now.
00:17:54Please.
00:17:59Please.
00:18:02Mr. Sullivan, Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation.
00:18:07Will that suffice?
00:18:08I'm just here to certify facts.
00:18:11You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:15Full payment in my account within three days.
00:18:19Yes.
00:18:20In that case, we're done here.
00:18:22Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else.
00:18:25I'll do.
00:18:27Mr. Sullivan, are our partners-
00:18:29Get your house in order first.
00:18:31Stellar has standards.
00:18:33We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:35That'll be all.
00:18:36Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:37That's funny.
00:18:39Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:40A hundred million on the line and you swoop in the cover for him.
00:18:44You know, I just hope that your father and your grandfather are as generous as you are.
00:18:50Whether her father or Chairman Harper approve is none of your goddamn business!
00:18:54We don't need someone like you worrying about it!
00:18:56He's right.
00:18:58Julian, I give you my word.
00:19:00The full amount will be paid within three days, but under one condition.
00:19:03Our engagement ends for good.
00:19:06And you will leave Harper Enterprise.
00:19:09Now.
00:19:10You hear that, Julian?
00:19:12You know, I'll admit it.
00:19:13Yeah, you got the money.
00:19:14But it's not about what you made.
00:19:15It's your family's fucking money.
00:19:16And now you're just a spoiled little trust fund baby who's been fired.
00:19:19So get the fuck out!
00:19:21Get the fuck out?
00:19:24One of us just torpedoed a hundred million dollar loan and a three hundred million dollar deal.
00:19:29Remind me, which one of us should actually get the fuck out?
00:19:32Serena, I think it is actually time to call your grandfather.
00:19:34Probably he could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:39Stop.
00:19:40Stop!
00:19:45This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper!
00:19:49Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:19:52Funny!
00:19:53Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill.
00:19:56Remind me, which one of us is the real boy toy?
00:20:00You.
00:20:11Get the fuck out!
00:20:12Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have.
00:20:15This is Harper Enterprise.
00:20:18I'm the one in charge here.
00:20:21Security, remove him.
00:20:25Julian, please.
00:20:26Don't make us get physical.
00:20:28I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in.
00:20:30You really want to lay hands on me?
00:20:33Chairman Harper brought you in!
00:20:35Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:37Who do you think you are?
00:20:39You think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:41Julian, I've already given you more courtesy than you deserve.
00:20:43The more you cling on like this, the more disgusting you become to me.
00:20:49Do it.
00:20:52Looks like I won't need that phone call.
00:20:54Still running your mouth, huh?
00:20:56Move.
00:20:56Get him the fuck out of here.
00:21:02What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:06Stand down!
00:21:07All of you!
00:21:08You!
00:21:09Out of here!
00:21:10Now!
00:21:10Dad?
00:21:11Grandpa?
00:21:12What are you doing here?
00:21:18Julian.
00:21:19I've been filled in on everything that's gone on today.
00:21:23I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:28Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:31What?
00:21:32Chairman Harper apologizing to Julian?
00:21:35Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:39Chairman Harper, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games.
00:21:43How could you possibly-
00:21:44Shut up!
00:21:51Sweet.
00:21:53How dare you disrespect Julian!
00:21:55Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has.
00:21:57You can't just hit people!
00:21:58I wish we hit him more.
00:22:01Serena, do you even have any idea who Julian Clark is?
00:22:05We didn't tell you everything because of your ego.
00:22:08And I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:22:09We were going to announce everything once the engagement was formally set.
00:22:13But who knew?
00:22:15Serena, you've been blind.
00:22:17Julian is-
00:22:18Thomas, you can't force something that isn't there.
00:22:20No real feelings.
00:22:22No need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:24Julian, please, understand.
00:22:26All of this is on us.
00:22:29Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harperfin.
00:22:33Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:39Apologize to Julian, now!
00:22:40No!
00:22:41I don't care who you are, Julian.
00:22:44To me, you're still just a spoiled brat who thinks of himself as some sort of genius.
00:22:49But in reality, all you know is playing video games.
00:22:54I see right through you, and I will not apologize to you!
00:22:59Serena, enough!
00:23:01Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:02Let me apologize.
00:23:03Save it.
00:23:05If Serena can't manage an apology herself,
00:23:08then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:12Issue my order.
00:23:14Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:17Cease every protective measure, effective immediately.
00:23:20Julian!
00:23:20Please, don't!
00:23:21Without you, this place doesn't survive.
00:23:24Look!
00:23:26Whoa!
00:23:27What?
00:23:33Oh, I guess you would've just pulled the orders.
00:23:35What do you mean, hostile takeover?
00:23:37All of our investors pulled out.
00:23:38How can that be?
00:23:43Harper Enterprise stock plunges 30% in minutes, wiping out billions in market value.
00:23:49What? My entire division just stopped!
00:23:51We can't operate like this!
00:23:53A stunning reversal.
00:23:54Harper Enterprise's many allies withdraw their investments in an instant,
00:23:58leaving the group facing massive losses.
00:24:01Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:05Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:07Why did Harper Enterprise suddenly lose power?
00:24:10What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:14How is that possible?
00:24:16Are you attacking the company?
00:24:17No matter who is behind this, I, Serena, will never bow down to you!
00:24:24Harper Enterprise will not yield to any market attacks!
00:24:28Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks!
00:24:30It's Harper! This isn't a race!
00:24:32Our major partners are terminating their contracts!
00:24:34And our own liquidity can't cover the gas!
00:24:37If this continues, the stock will crash straight through the floor!
00:24:41What did you say?
00:24:43Damn it!
00:24:44How could that trash have such kind of power?
00:24:47Why him? I won't accept this! I won't!
00:24:50Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?
00:24:56Apologize to Julian!
00:24:58No!
00:24:58No!
00:25:02Serena, apologize.
00:25:15Serena, Serena, do not apologize!
00:25:18Harper Enterprise is worth hundreds of billions of dollars!
00:25:21You really think we can't survive without him?
00:25:23Let's just get through this crisis and I swear I will make him pay for everything that he has done
00:25:28to you!
00:25:29No!
00:25:31No, you're fucking fucked!
00:25:34You apologize to Julian right now!
00:25:36Get on your knees!
00:25:37Dad!
00:25:39Damien! Damien!
00:25:41Dad, stop!
00:25:42Damien has only ever stood up for me!
00:25:44He is the only one who actually cares about me and I won't let you treat him like this!
00:25:48Stay out of the way!
00:25:49No!
00:25:50You really gonna go to war with Julian over this snake?
00:25:54Do you even have any idea who he really is?
00:25:57Whoever he is, it doesn't give him the right to just bully people like this!
00:26:00I cannot stand bullies who throw their weight around and today that is exactly what you look like to me!
00:26:07Serena, that is enough!
00:26:08You hate bullies who throw their weight around, right?
00:26:11What about this guy?
00:26:12What about him?
00:26:13He hides behind your name to steal other people's work.
00:26:16He throws tea on me in this very room!
00:26:18He squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a $100,000 watch!
00:26:22Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:24Oh, I...
00:26:26But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:29Yeah, you're no saint.
00:26:31You're just biased.
00:26:33You know, I've been engaged to you for the past six months.
00:26:36I have asked you out 37 times!
00:26:39Yeah, because I thought we should at least get to know each other.
00:26:42Every time I have asked you out, you said,
00:26:44I'm too busy with work.
00:26:46But that wasn't the truth.
00:26:47The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant.
00:26:51Listen to him sing your praises, right?
00:26:55Who's that?
00:26:56Oh, let me guess.
00:26:57Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:02Just... ignore him.
00:27:04Is he still your fiancé?
00:27:06Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:10I just... I can't stand him.
00:27:12A spoiled heir who thinks the world revolves around him?
00:27:18So what if I did?
00:27:20Who I choose to hang out with is my own choice.
00:27:22We're engaged, not married.
00:27:25I can see whoever I want.
00:27:27Serena, shut up!
00:27:29No, I am not done!
00:27:31Damien has worked himself to the bone!
00:27:34He is driven and disciplined,
00:27:36and when Harper first went public,
00:27:38he was the key reason that we made it.
00:27:40If you had even half his talent, Julian,
00:27:43maybe I would have said yes to once.
00:27:46But you don't.
00:27:50Damien was the key reason you made it.
00:27:52That's your story, right?
00:27:53What is so funny?
00:27:55I mean, I'm laughing at just how foolish you are.
00:27:58Do you know why, for the past six months,
00:28:01all of your proposals have sailed through?
00:28:03Why every deal that you like happened to have closed?
00:28:06Why every time that you wanted a loan,
00:28:08the banks rolled out a special fast track for you?
00:28:11Because Damien is brilliant!
00:28:12Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way!
00:28:15Damien? Brilliant?
00:28:17That was Julian!
00:28:20Julian is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together!
00:28:24Serena!
00:28:25No, that is impossible!
00:28:28I don't believe it!
00:28:38Hey!
00:28:40Hi's up Serena!
00:28:40In the past six months, I've called in 47 separate connections
00:28:44and cleared a path for you.
00:28:45Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange!
00:28:47And you know, I've made you Wall Street's business queen!
00:28:50That's Iron Gate, North Bridge, and even Silver Line!
00:28:54Those are all the top 50 global giants!
00:28:55What?
00:28:56They've all been begging us?
00:28:57Behind the scenes?
00:28:58No wonder every project went so smoothly!
00:29:00Julian's the one with this kind of network!
00:29:02Damien's got some nerves stealing credit for something like this!
00:29:05That's a death wish!
00:29:09No, no, no!
00:29:11It's not true, huh?
00:29:12Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me,
00:29:14and my hard work, and my connections!
00:29:17You period fool!
00:29:19Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:29Alright, that's enough.
00:29:31I finally got the all clear for my grandfather,
00:29:33and I can go home.
00:29:35So, as of right now, our engagement is terminated.
00:29:38Julian, all of this has been our fault.
00:29:41But the engagement...
00:29:42Let him go!
00:29:43I don't need a fiancé who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:49Without my connections and my network,
00:29:52Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:54And it's going to go right back to where it was six months ago.
00:29:58What?
00:29:59What?
00:30:01Prepare yourselves.
00:30:03Julian!
00:30:04Julian!
00:30:04Julian!
00:30:05Julian!
00:30:08Serena!
00:30:10You silly, foolish, foolish girl!
00:30:13Grandpa, I have never been clearer.
00:30:16With or without him, I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:19Serena's right.
00:30:21Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper, I'm going to stand by Serena's side,
00:30:24and I'm going to give her everything that I've got.
00:30:26Crap!
00:30:27I'm going to beat the crap out of you once and for all!
00:30:30Dad, that is enough.
00:30:33Dad?
00:30:34Grandpa?
00:30:35I know you have your issues with Damien.
00:30:38But I believe he will prove himself to you.
00:30:40And so will I.
00:30:43I will show everyone here that what Harper achieved over the past six months was my work.
00:30:48It has nothing to do with Julian.
00:30:52This meeting is over.
00:30:54Serena, wait up!
00:30:56You!
00:30:57Tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:05Serena, Serena!
00:31:06Don't even worry about that.
00:31:08I know our Enterprise took a huge hit today, but as long as we lock down Amber Group's Crescent Lake
00:31:12project,
00:31:13change the game, and everyone will still think that we're in control. Easy!
00:31:17The $3 billion Crescent Lake project.
00:31:21If we can win that contract, we can wipe all the problems we've been facing.
00:31:26Damien, you've secured several of Amber Group's projects before,
00:31:30and I'm going to put this one in your hands, too.
00:31:32It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:34No, no, absolutely. You can count on me.
00:31:36Amber Group's Deputy VP of Projects?
00:31:38I mean, he trusts me clearly.
00:31:41Who else has been his eyes?
00:31:49Get the Crescent Lake contract ready.
00:31:52Same as always.
00:31:53Once the Harper team arrives, we hand it straight to them.
00:31:56Ms. Lawson, we just got an update.
00:31:58Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise.
00:32:00The engagement is off.
00:32:02Serena fired him and ended it.
00:32:05Are you sure?
00:32:07Absolutely.
00:32:08Word is she listened to her assistant, Damien, who really stirred the pot,
00:32:12and then Serena personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:14Serena really thinks she got where she is because of Damien?
00:32:17That for your little lap dog?
00:32:19Then do we still hand the Crescent Lake project over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:24Without Julian, Harper Enterprise really thinks it's worthy of Crescent Lake?
00:32:28Not a chance.
00:32:30Open it to public video.
00:32:31Yes, ma'am.
00:32:40Now that is an amazing shot, Mr. Brooks.
00:32:42Damien, Crescent Lake's public bid is coming up soon.
00:32:47How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:02Damien, what does this mean, huh?
00:33:05Mr. Brooks, why don't you do yourself a favor and take a closer look?
00:33:10That's one million in clean crypto.
00:33:13Untraceable.
00:33:14Harper Enterprise is totally prepared to take on Crescent Lake.
00:33:19We just need you to give us a little extra attention.
00:33:23Oh my, Damien.
00:33:24You're too kind.
00:33:26Sure, it's public bidding on paper, but as long as I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about.
00:33:34Sit tight.
00:33:36Contract's yours.
00:33:39Miss Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway.
00:33:44Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:33:47Thanks.
00:33:49Thanks.
00:33:51Thanks.
00:33:58Thanks.
00:34:00Thanks.
00:34:03Thanks, Julian.
00:34:19All right, Serena kicked you out. Six months of hard work, down the drain. What does that feel?
00:34:27Oh, I see. So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit. Is that right?
00:34:32Of course.
00:34:37I'm here to steal you.
00:34:38You see, since your engagement is off, I was thinking, how about you consider me, huh?
00:34:51Guys like us, we don't get to escape alliances.
00:34:55Our families will bear us off either way, so why make a stranger when there's someone who actually knows me?
00:35:04You see? Childhood friends, same circles, 15 years of school. We match, you know? We fit.
00:35:19Hang on. Nora, are you saying this because you're drunk, or do you...
00:35:23Shh.
00:35:31I'm not drunk, okay? You don't have to answer me tonight. Just think about it.
00:35:38Hmm?
00:35:42Shh.
00:36:07Shh.
00:36:08Shh.
00:36:08I told you, I'm not drunk.
00:36:11Laura, this one should come off.
00:36:13Oh shit, I'm drunk.
00:36:17Laura, this one should come off.
00:36:19Oh shit, I'm drunk.
00:36:36Miss Lawson.
00:36:38Amber Group's distinguished CEO, allow me the pleasure of introducing myself.
00:36:43Oh, I am so sorry. Bad, bad timing. Truly terrible timing.
00:36:56Don't move.
00:36:57If that jacket slips for you in a second, you're finished.
00:37:00Okay, aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:03Amber Group's CEO got caught in a scandal at a pool party?
00:37:06I'm not going to boost my company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breasts go through.
00:37:12Okay.
00:37:14Okay.
00:37:17But if you stay through to me like this for the rest of the night,
00:37:24I think my heart's going to sink around this chest.
00:37:38And suffer, okay?
00:37:41If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:50Please.
00:37:51Please.
00:37:52Walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:08Speak of the devil of all the times.
00:38:20Speak of the devil of all the times.
00:38:24I'll be right back to you.
00:38:24Oh, wait.
00:38:28Well, well.
00:38:29I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:33Feelings for Serena weren't that deep after all.
00:38:36Can I help you with something?
00:38:39Seriously?
00:38:40This woman's even prettier than Serena.
00:38:42How does a loser like Julian always get women?
00:38:44I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:38:47Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here, she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:38:53Pouring herself out like this?
00:38:56It's me, I'll take her.
00:38:57Is that so?
00:38:59Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Ambercube's Crescent Lake project.
00:39:07What, you're bidding too?
00:39:08Yeah, I know you got connection.
00:39:09And that's great, you know.
00:39:10But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:13Me, I got real talent, alright?
00:39:14And I'm gonna win Crescent Lake for Serena.
00:39:17You, you're just gonna fucking lose like you lose everything else.
00:39:21Good luck.
00:39:33See that?
00:39:35That is a shameless whore.
00:39:37That woman seems familiar.
00:39:40Samantha, you don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:43Alright, come on. Let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:39:46Let's go socialize and maybe we'll run into the host of the party lost on herself.
00:39:51And if we do, I'll make sure we leave a good aggression.
00:40:11So that pretty boy Damien actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:16Tonight we're gonna see who's really on top.
00:40:19Okay.
00:40:20Manners, this is a public event.
00:40:22What?
00:40:24You've known me since we were kids.
00:40:25Why would I pretend around you?
00:40:28But!
00:40:29If you like glasses, I can do glasses.
00:40:32Oh can you?
00:40:33You can do glasses?
00:40:35Yes.
00:40:35Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:38Okay, thank you.
00:40:43I'll let you get to it.
00:40:48Sally?
00:41:05Julie.
00:41:09I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:11You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:14You know what?
00:41:16Mason Brooks, Amber Group's Deputy VP of Projects, already agreed to award the contract to Harper
00:41:21Enterprise.
00:41:23You can't win.
00:41:29I hear the Crescent Lake Project is basically yours.
00:41:31Congratulations!
00:41:33Serena, you are the business queen of Wall Street.
00:41:36And with Damien backing you up, it's unstoppable.
00:41:38When the two of you take off, don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:41Of course.
00:41:42You know, we're gonna take care of you guys.
00:41:43Thank you so much.
00:41:52See that, Julian?
00:41:53Everybody already knows that Crescent Lake belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:57And I suggest you walk out of here before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:42:00It's funny.
00:42:01You see, my Clark Group has deeper capital, better tech, and a stronger global record than
00:42:06Harper Enterprise, so I'm just curious.
00:42:09Why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:11He recognizes Damien's talent.
00:42:13Of course.
00:42:18I need to take this.
00:42:26Hey, Julian.

00:49:16and Serena trusted him to be her assistant I mean what does that say about her judgment
00:49:21Damien you have disappointed me beyond words
00:49:25Serena I did it because I cared about you because I care about Harper Enterprise please I'm
00:49:29happy you told you the truth enough everyone has seen enough Mason Brooks you're fired effective
00:49:37immediately I'm done the Crescent Lake project
00:49:45Harper Enterprise is disqualified every single project Amber group has done together with them will
00:49:51be suspended the projects will be back for competitive bidding no no you can't do that those projects are
00:50:00our next three years they affect thousands of employees their lives her future and when the
00:50:06person who hired trash and called it talent real talent
00:50:17pathetic
00:50:23Serena
00:50:25please you gotta let me explain
00:50:28Miss Lawson wait Serena
00:50:39I just avenged you in front of a lot of people asking for dinner isn't too much right
00:50:45not at all you pick my treat generous let's go time to rob the tycoon
00:50:54Miss Lawson Damien was wrong to bribe anyone and I apologize on his behalf
00:51:02just please give Harper Enterprise another chance I will meet the highest standards I will deliver a
00:51:10perfect result on every project perfect result and what exactly guarantees that your empty suit
00:51:18assistant Miss Lawson Damien made a mistake but but his ability is exceptional for six months he managed
00:51:29every Harper Enterprise project flawlessly no errors no delays if you don't pull this contract
00:51:36I guarantee he will make sure you see his value
00:51:42managed flawlessly he's not the only empty suit here
00:51:46year or two
00:51:48Miss Lawson you are crossing a line
00:51:53I understand that you and Julian are close and you want to get back at me for him but humiliating
00:52:00someone like this isn't that a little cruel you really think I froze our cooperation because Damien
00:52:05right Mason wasn't that the reason for six months Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted from Ember
00:52:15group for one reason Julian Clark Damien has nothing to do with that he was just a messenger boy who
00:52:25picked up the contracts
00:52:27what when Julian was there bribe or no bribe Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway but now
00:52:35Julian's gone so the special treatment is gone Damien's little arriving incident
00:52:41it was just a convenient excuse to take everything back understand now
00:52:49and about those flawless projects Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly because Damien is brilliant
00:52:57it runs smoothly because Julian called every partner every supplier every gatekeeper and cleared the path for you
00:53:06Damien had nothing to do with that
00:53:10no
00:53:12that's not true I don't believe it you don't believe me then watch watch what happens when Julian leaves
00:53:22let's see if your exceptional Damien can keep everything perfect when Julian is not there to hold
00:53:27the world together for you come on let's go
00:53:38Julian is what she's saying true you were right about one thing Serena Julian and I are closer than you
00:53:46thought that's why it disgusts me watching him waste his life away on a selfish and blind woman like you
00:53:58was I wrong no no no Serena do not listen to her nonsense Harper's success is based off of my
00:54:05hard
00:54:05work okay Nora Lawson she's just she's attacking and slandering my name to defend Julian you you have
00:54:12to believe me please you have to understand because of you Crescent Lake is gone every Amber project is

01:03:31so
01:03:38so
01:03:56Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:03What is this supposed to be?
01:04:05A gift for you.
01:04:07Myself.
01:04:09I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:12Every group backs you up.
01:04:14No questions asked.
01:04:15But first, you have to accept the gift.
01:04:19Properly.
01:04:29Hey, can you not do that?
01:04:32You're making this incredibly awkward.
01:04:35You know a woman like me shows up a gift wrapped
01:04:38and any man would have, you know,
01:04:41housed me by now.
01:04:43Don't tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:47Hung up?
01:04:49You're not going to be hung up on Serena.
01:04:51She and I were never romantic.
01:04:52Look, it's just a business marriage between two families.
01:04:57Things are moving too fast.
01:05:00You gotta think twice.
01:05:01But I don't have time.
01:05:03My family is preparing to send me off
01:05:05into a European alliance.
01:05:09Some old money.
01:05:11Perfect match they can show off at Wallace.
01:05:13Wait, what are you talking about?
01:05:15Are you serious?
01:05:15Yes, Julian.
01:05:16Julian, my uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune
01:05:20and he'll do whatever it takes
01:05:22to get rid of me permanently.
01:05:23But I don't want a stranger.
01:05:24I want you.
01:05:25I love you.
01:05:28Julian, let's make it official.
01:05:32Let's get married.
01:05:36You know, if you'll marry me,
01:05:39my family won't dare object.
01:05:42Please, Julian.
01:05:54Okay.
01:05:56I'll marry you.
01:05:57Are you serious?
01:05:59No takebacks.
01:06:00No takebacks.
01:06:01Ever.
01:06:02Ever.
01:06:02I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:05But can you help me out?
01:06:09Um, my hands are getting hurt.
01:06:12So impatient.
01:06:17It's like you said,
01:06:19if I accept the gift,
01:06:22then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:29Then be gentle.
01:06:38Julian, you didn't forget about your promise last night, right?
01:06:43Uh, no.
01:06:44Because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:06:46Of course I remember that.
01:06:48You know, when someone wraps themselves as a gift,
01:06:51you kind of remember that for the rest of your life.
01:06:54Details!
01:06:54Details, those are just tiny details.
01:06:59Look like big details to me.
01:07:06Julian, can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:09Serena, I really don't think there's anything we need to discuss.
01:07:12Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:13I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:14I misjudged everything.
01:07:17Please, just give me one more chance,
01:07:18and I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:21And if you take me back,
01:07:22just tell me what you want.
01:07:24I'll do anything.
01:07:25I'm sorry.
01:07:25I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:30Boyfriend?
01:07:37Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:07:40Well, Julian hates them too.
01:07:42And yet, you stayed at Harper Enterprise for six full months.
01:07:46He asked you out 37 times.
01:07:49So tell me, what exactly are you proud of?
01:07:52Hmm?
01:07:54Men like him?
01:07:56If you treat him like trash,
01:07:58someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:08:01Listen carefully.
01:08:02We are all together now,
01:08:04so better keep your distance.
01:08:06If you don't,
01:08:08I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:11Come on.
01:08:13We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:15Let's not be late.
01:08:17Wedding outfits.
01:08:20Let's go.
01:08:25Let's go.
01:08:34So how did it go?
01:08:36Julian?
01:08:38He's with Nora.
01:08:43Nora.
01:08:44Nora Lawson.
01:08:46CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:47Of course.
01:08:49You know, Serena,
01:08:51it's an elite like Julian.
01:08:53The second you let go,
01:08:55somebody comes and grabs him.
01:08:57You don't get another chance.
01:08:59God gave our family a chance,
01:09:01and we blew it.
01:09:04God, forgive the Harpers.
01:09:06Please.
01:09:09Ms. Hopper,
01:09:10Finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:13Hopper Enterprises' cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:16If we don't act immediately,
01:09:17we won't even have enough
01:09:18to make payroll this month.
01:09:21Great.
01:09:23Now all of Warstreet knows
01:09:24that we crossed Julian.
01:09:26That was gonna lend to us now?
01:09:28How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:30This is my fault, okay?
01:09:32I was blind.
01:09:33Are you proud now?
01:09:36I actually believed
01:09:37I was some business queen.
01:09:40I didn't realize that
01:09:42Julian was running everything.
01:09:44And the moment he's gone,
01:09:45I can't do anything.
01:09:48Dad.
01:09:50Grandpa.
01:09:51I'm so sorry.
01:09:53I ruined Harpers Enterprise.
01:09:55I ruined everything.
01:09:57Dad.
01:09:58You're the one who arranged the engagement
01:10:00with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:02So maybe you should go talk to him
01:10:04and see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:07Yes, Grandpa.
01:10:09Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:11If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:14Clark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:18Yes.
01:10:19They honored our engagement.
01:10:22And that was a mercy.
01:10:23That was a blessing.
01:10:25But you threw it away.
01:10:30Still,
01:10:31for your sake
01:10:33and for your future
01:10:34and for our future,
01:10:36we'll fight.
01:10:43Serena,
01:10:45when you see Julian's grandfather,
01:10:48your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:52If he forgives you,
01:10:55only then will you know
01:10:56that you have a chance
01:10:57to get Julian back.
01:11:00Understood, Grandpa.
01:11:01For the Harper family,
01:11:03I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:19Welcome.
01:11:21You must be here
01:11:22for Mr. Clark
01:11:23and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:25Perfect timing.
01:11:27They're just about to start.
01:11:29Engagement party?
01:11:31So they're really engaged?
01:11:34How is this all happening so fast?
01:11:37What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:40Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson
01:11:41have known each other
01:11:42since they were born
01:11:43and everyone is so happy
01:11:45that they're finally getting married.
01:11:47Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:49You didn't come here
01:11:50to congratulate them, right?
01:11:53Then please leave.
01:11:55Otherwise,
01:11:56I will have to call security.
01:11:58Oh, oh, oh.
01:11:58Oh, oh, oh.
01:11:59Oh, oh, oh.
01:11:59Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:12:00Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
01:12:01oh, oh.
01:12:02If there's an engagement party,
01:12:04that means Julian's grandfather
01:12:07has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:11And that means we're done.
01:12:14There's no more chances left.
01:12:16We're leaving.
01:12:18Is this my punishment?
01:12:22All right, everyone.
01:12:24Big smiles.
01:12:28Woo!
01:12:34Oh, yeah.
01:12:42Are you OK?
01:12:43Hey.
01:12:49What is it?
01:12:51Oh, it's nothing.
01:12:52Come on.
01:12:52Dinner's almost ready.
01:13:07Dad.
01:13:08The Harpers.
01:13:10My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:15For a young one,
01:13:17at six months at Harper Enterprise,
01:13:20it was a total humiliation.
01:13:23We've shown the Harpers more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:29Understood, Dad.
01:13:37OK, enough, Serena.
01:13:39Stop.
01:13:40You can't drink this away.
01:13:42Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:13:45If you don't get up, it's over.
01:13:48Just leave me the fuck alone, OK?
01:13:51Just let me drink.
01:13:53I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:55I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:13:56No, you...
01:13:59All right, I've got to take this.
01:14:02Don't move.
01:14:03I'll be right back,
01:14:03and then I am taking you home.
01:14:15Maura.
01:14:18OK, Maura.
01:14:19Be honest.
01:14:20You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:22You just got engaged,
01:14:24and you're getting married next week?
01:14:27Let's see.
01:14:28You've known Julian for 20-plus years.
01:14:31You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:14:33I've liked Julian for 20 years,
01:14:36and I finally got him to say yes.
01:14:38You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:14:40Lock it down from what?
01:14:41From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:14:43They're collapsing
01:14:44and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:14:47I have to move fast.
01:14:49If they start begging,
01:14:52what if Julian hesitates?
01:14:55But Julian and Serena were forced into that.
01:14:57There's no real love.
01:14:59Why will Julian hesitate?
01:15:00What are you afraid of?
01:15:02You don't get it.
01:15:04Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months,
01:15:08and it wasn't just because he's grandfather ordering.
01:15:10Then why?
01:15:13Because Serena is his type.
01:15:18Wait, what?
01:15:21I am Julian's type?
01:15:25No way!
01:15:26I'm serious.
01:15:28The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:15:30That exact time.
01:15:33I mean, with his personality,
01:15:35even if his grandfather forced him,
01:15:37he would have stayed there for three days max,
01:15:39and then vanished.
01:15:40He would not stay there
01:15:42and take six months of humiliation
01:15:45if he didn't want it to.
01:15:46That's Julian Clark.
01:15:49So that's why?
01:15:50Serena must have destroyed him.
01:15:52I have to get married fast.
01:15:55I cannot give her a single chance.
01:15:58So that's what it was.
01:15:59Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:16:02because I'm his type.
01:16:04He likes me.
01:16:05That means I still have a chance.
01:16:07I still have a chance.
01:16:09This is my last shot.
01:16:11I am not wasting it.
01:16:19Where is she?
01:16:26Ladies and gentlemen,
01:16:27let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:42Wow, they look perfect together.
01:16:45They're childhood sweethearts.
01:16:47The whole fantasy.
01:16:48Oh my God, brilliant!
01:16:51And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:06Wait!
01:17:13Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:17Who is that?
01:17:17Is that Serena Harper?
01:17:19CEO of Harper Enterprise?
01:17:21You mean the woman who rode on Julian's back to the IPO
01:17:24and then kicked him out like he was nothing?
01:17:27Without Julian, Harper Enterprise is basically bankrupt.
01:17:30Pathetic.
01:17:31Wait!
01:17:33Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:38Julian, I know you like me.
01:17:41You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:49I know.
01:17:50I was wrong.
01:17:52Totally wrong, okay?
01:17:53Just please.
01:17:55Give me another chance.
01:17:59Our engagement is over.
01:18:01In fact, you were the one that called it off.
01:18:04Look, this is my wedding.
01:18:06Have some dignity.
01:18:07In fact, can we get her out of here, please?
01:18:10No, please.
01:18:10I'll do anything.
01:18:12Just...
01:18:13Stop.
01:18:17I know.
01:18:18You hate me.
01:18:19Because I rejected you 37 times.
01:18:23But I'll make it up to you.
01:18:25I'll chase you 37 times.
01:18:28370 times.
01:18:29Whatever it did.
01:18:30Can we please get her out?
01:18:32No, don't touch me!
01:18:34Julian, what do you want from me?
01:18:36I know you like me.
01:18:37So why won't you give me another chance?
01:18:39Why?
01:18:45Simple question.
01:18:46Do you love me?
01:18:50I...
01:18:51Exactly.
01:18:51You don't.
01:18:53You didn't realize you made a mistake.
01:18:55You realized that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:18:58See, what you want is not a chance, but a tool.
01:19:02You want me back so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:07No, that...
01:19:08That's not true.
01:19:10Just please.
01:19:12Listen.
01:19:13Please, listen.
01:19:13Enough.
01:19:14Serena.
01:19:15When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise, do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:20Let me ask you this.
01:19:22If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed, if your value kept climbing, would you still be here
01:19:27standing in front of me today?
01:19:30I...
01:19:31I...
01:19:31No.
01:19:32I...
01:19:32No, you wouldn't.
01:19:33You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:34You'd be celebrating.
01:19:36You'd say that you earned the business queen crown.
01:19:38You'd be mocking me, calling me pathetic.
01:19:41You'd say that firing me was the best decision you ever made.
01:19:43Plus, you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:19:46No.
01:19:48No, Julian.
01:19:49That's not me.
01:19:51Just admit it, Serena.
01:19:53You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:55But on my wedding day, you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:19:58Why?
01:19:59Because you want me back as your lifeline.
01:20:02Your donor.
01:20:02Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:05But the moment I stop being useful, you will kick me away again without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:10No.
01:20:12No, Julian.
01:20:14That is not true.
01:20:15The night that you saved me from Damien, I...
01:20:20I felt something for you.
01:20:22I...
01:20:22I did.
01:20:23Stop.
01:20:23Do not perform at my wedding.
01:20:26You don't regret hurting me.
01:20:28You regret choosing the wrong man.
01:20:29You regret that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:20:32You know, I'll admit, when I met you, you were exactly my type.
01:20:38But once I got to know you, once I realized what you really are, all I felt was disgust.
01:20:46But Nora?
01:20:49She has cared for me since we were kids.
01:20:54When I was sick, she stayed up all night taking care of me.
01:20:58When I was at my lowest, she pulled me back up.
01:21:01Even when I went back to Harper Enterprise on the engagement, she still supported me.
01:21:07She still took hits from me.
01:21:12So, let me ask you.
01:21:15Why would I give up all of that for you?
01:21:19What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:25I...
01:21:26I...
01:21:26Get her out.
01:21:27No, no.
01:21:28No, please don't really...
01:21:30Don't, don't, please.
01:21:31I'm begging you, just please let me explain.
01:21:34Please.
01:21:35Please, let me, please, stop.
01:21:36Let me go.
01:21:37Julian, please don't do it.
01:21:40Crashing a wedding like that?
01:21:41I thought she actually loved him.
01:21:43Turns out, she just realized, without Julian, she can't stay on top.
01:21:47She used Julian's feelings like a weapon.
01:21:50Totally vampire-drained and dry.
01:21:51Absolute.
01:21:59I love you.
01:22:05I love you.
01:22:09Ciao.
01:22:10I love you.
01:22:13I love you.
01:22:21Mr. Clark!
01:22:40I'm sure you've all heard.
01:22:42Harper Enterprise, affected today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary, so you're all
01:22:48being terminated.
01:22:50What?!
01:22:51Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:22:54I've given this company 15 years.
01:22:56You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:22:5815 years, wow.
01:23:00Congratulations.
01:23:01You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:07You know I've been watching you guys for about six months now?
01:23:10You've seen how you all work.
01:23:14Bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud.
01:23:21Every one of you doesn't file.
01:23:23So we're going to be passing out some resignation terms, and I want you to sign them, hand over
01:23:30your badges, or you're going to rot in jail.
01:23:34This.
01:23:35This is it.
01:23:50Are you satisfied now?
01:23:53Satisfied?
01:23:55Thomas went to my grandfather.
01:23:57He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:24:01I saved you.
01:24:05Julian.
01:24:08If I didn't treat you the way I did, would any of this be different?
01:24:21Julian, why didn't you get thrown away and still land something better?
01:24:24I spent my whole life climbing upwards and now I'm stuck at the bottom, hunted by cops.
01:24:29I won't accept it.
01:24:31Julian, watch out!
01:24:33Julian!
01:24:37Let me go!
01:24:38Fucking let me go!
01:24:39I already spared you.
01:24:41You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:43Go ahead, take him to the police.
01:24:44Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:46I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:47Fuck the coward!
01:24:48You're a fucking coward!
01:24:49Hiding behind your goddamn family's money!
01:24:51Now fight me!
01:24:52101!
01:24:52101!
01:24:53Let the guards go!
01:24:54You don't have the fucking guts to you!
01:25:00Hey, Julian.
01:25:01What was that?
01:25:03Just taking out the trash.
01:25:06Are you done here?
01:25:08No.
01:25:09Let's go.
01:25:16I was wrong!
01:25:19Julian!
01:25:20I was wrong!
01:25:22Shit!
01:25:23Shit!
01:25:24Shit!
01:25:24Shit!
