00:00:03Breaking news, Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack.
00:00:08In the past hour alone, the conglomerate has lost over a billion dollars in argumentation.
00:00:13Help me up here, I'm drowning. I just filed it.
00:00:16Help me up here, I'm drowning. I just filed it.
00:00:19Help me up here, I'm drowning. I just filed it.
00:00:23No, you have to buy it.
00:00:24I need you to buy the stock, alright?
00:00:25You gotta do this now.
00:00:28This isn't some random dip, whoever's shorting us came prepared.
00:00:31They're tearing us apart.
00:00:32We can't hold the line.
00:00:33We're about to become the laughing stock of Wall Street.
00:00:36No, no, we're not finished.
00:00:38We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:43The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:48Julia, we need you. Again.
00:00:51Shit. Shit.
00:00:55Give me a sec.
00:01:01Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:03Good, good, yeah.
00:01:05I just need to ask you for a little favor.
00:01:12Julian, you saved my ass last time. I owe you.
00:01:15I'm moving liquidity to Harper now.
00:01:19Great.
00:01:24The stock price is recovering.
00:01:26How is that possible?
00:01:27Did Mr. Clark just fix this with a few calls?
00:01:30Julian, what would Harper do without you?
00:01:34Julian, Damien's assistant called.
00:01:36Called in all hands.
00:01:37All department leads.
00:01:38Conference room in 10 minutes.
00:01:40Chairman's orders.
00:01:41Why would Damien call in the meeting?
00:01:43He despises you.
00:01:45Watch your back.
00:01:46It's an extremely inclusiveμ΄οΏ½arl known in 20 minutes.
00:01:46It's an complètement fantastic show.
00:02:02For the last 10, clearly.
00:02:15Today, 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 know how to take over from a hole in the ground?
00:02:32He must have stole this win 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 pull 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,
00:02:54the least that every single one of you can 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.
00:03:10Julian, the 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. I forgot. You're just the resident good for nothing. My strategies, you probably couldn't comprehend them,
00:03:32let alone ask a decent goddamn question.
00:03:39Well, since you're so keen on getting my contribution, let's start with a question.
00:03:44Which funds were behind the short attack? And what was their distinct objective? And what specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:50Doesn't matter. What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:53You can't even name the enemy?
00:03:55All right, fine, next question. Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights? And what preferential terms did you
00:04:01promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:02Well, well...
00:04:07Well, I, uh, well...
00:04:09Well, you can't even name the basics. All right.
00:04:12So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room, the countermeasures for a potential
00:04:16proxy fight, or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers?
00:04:23Let's be real. You are nothing but a glory hound who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees the real.
00:04:40You, a useless, game-addicted fucking loser, dare to question me? You know what, Clark? You're fucking fired!
00:04:47Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:59You hear that, Dad? I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:05Understood.
00:05:07Now, hearing's not enough. I 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 three trillion dollars. You proved everything that needs to be
00:05:23proved.
00:05:24Now, uh, time to think about your marriage. Harper's, uh, old friends, good staff, you know?
00:05:31Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper. What you're talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:36Feelings could grow, brat. Our families go way back. Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:43My life, my choice. Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that-
00:05:47Enough!
00:05:48Oh, that's it. You're going to do this.
00:05:51I've already arranged everything. You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:55Hey, go work with Serena. And date her properly, hmm?
00:06:02You'll refuse.
00:06:04Okay. Nurse, Dr. Ann, check it out.
00:06:07Well, Grant, I won't listen. What's the point?
00:06:09Okay.
00:06:10Let the heart attack take me now!
00:06:11Okay, alright. I'll go.
00:06:14I know what I'm asking. For years, you've carried this family on your back.
00:06:20We have more now than we ever was. The Harper's never in trouble.
00:06:25We do not abandon our own. Use that brilliant head of yours.
00:06:32And help them. Please. For me.
00:06:36Fine. I'll do it.
00:06:39I hear you.
00:06:47For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked, using every resource, every contact to help her.
00:06:53I pulled Harper Enterprise from the brink of bankruptcy and made it soar.
00:06:56I made Serena Harper the queen of this city's business world.
00:06:59And for what? So 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. So, pathetic.
00:07:17I said you're fired. Get your shit and get the fuck out of my throat.
00:07:21I heard you. I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay, and then I'm gone.
00:07:25I said now! Or I'm gonna call security, and I'm gonna drag your ass out.
00:07:29Suit yourself.
00:07:30Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:36Your grandfather has no authority here. You 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?
00:07:46I will not repeat it. And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:49You know what, Serena? Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:58You don't push your luck, Clark. The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the
00:08:03first place is because of your dusty fucking engagement to Serena.
00:08:06And you have the audacity to act all high and mighty? You're fucking nothing.
00:08:10You're a little trust fund, entitled piece of shit baby.
00:08:14I mean, even your fiancΓ© 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're broken. You're broke my petite.
00:08:30You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole? A hundred thousand dollars!
00:08:37We lost your balance. Maybe work on your course sheet.
00:08:40Julian, that is enough. Disrupting proceedings? Assault? Destruction of property?
00:08:46As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment. Effective immediately.
00:08:51Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:53Serena, he broke my watch. The gift you got me for my birthday, he has to pay for it.
00:08:57Okay, you got two options, asshole. Either pay up, or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:06Fine. I'll pay.
00:09:09Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:10What one hundred thousand dollars? It's a million.
00:09:13A million for that.
00:09:14It's a gift from Serena. It's priceless. A million dollars being generous.
00:09:18You could fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:20A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value. He does have a point card.
00:09:24You break it, you buy it. That's the rule. Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:35Well, you gonna wire me the money? Or are you as broke as you look? And if so, you can
00:09:41crawl out of here, and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:46So what if you're Serena's fiancΓ©? Look at her now. She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward!
00:09:54A million dollars. That'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.
00:10:23You just called for a million dollars in cash? Like a stakeout? What's next? A private army?
00:10:29All right, Julian. The charade ends now. Leave the company and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:33But our family's engagement is over. We are done.
00:10:39You sure?
00:10:40Whoa, whoa. You heard that, Julian? Your engagement's over. Now get out before I-
00:10:44Bro, get your hands off me!
00:10:49Put your fucking hands on me. You know what? I'm gonna wipe that smug fucking look off your face!
00:10:58Enough!
00:11:03Mr. Brooks!
00:11:07That's David Brooks, president of Harvey View Bank. What's a Wall Street titan doing on a conference?
00:11:12Do you think it has to do with the hundred million loan?
00:11:14It can't be.
00:11:14That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:19Mr. Clark, the one million, as requested.
00:11:42What?
00:11:46Mr. Brooks, personally delivering cash? To Julian?
00:11:50Wait, the money is... it's real?
00:11:54Delivered by Mr. Brooks? I mean...
00:11:56Wait, who are you?
00:11:57I mean...
00:12:00Much appreciated. You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:09Mr. Brooks, sir. We are so honored by your visit. My grandfather, he speaks of you often. I'm sure he'd
00:12:17love to get a round of golf scheduled with you sometime.
00:12:20Mr. Clark, is there anything else you require? My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:26No, thank you.
00:12:27Mr. Clark, is there anything you can go to? Of course.
00:12:36A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting? Unprofessional.
00:12:42I'm suspending a hundred million dollar deal. We'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision.
00:12:47Yes, sir.
00:12:49Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:53Damien messed up such a huge loan. Let's see him explain this to the chairman. The chairman will have his
00:12:57head.
00:12:59This is all your fault, alright? You gotta fix this. You call him back here and get that loan reinstated
00:13:04or I swear I'm gonna slip...
00:13:05You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:08As for us...
00:13:11One million. In full. Which makes this watch...
00:13:19It's mine.
00:13:20You arrogant.
00:13:22Son of a bitch!
00:13:26I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it? I bet you ought to sell your house
00:13:29to scrape this together, you fucking loser.
00:13:36But it's all mine now.
00:13:38Yeah, sure, the debt for the watch is settled. But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:42That useless piece of junk, how much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:45I don't know, maybe about...
00:13:48A hundred million?
00:13:50A hundred million dollars!
00:13:54For a laptop? Have you lost your mind?
00:13:58A hundred million.
00:13:59A hundred million.
00:14:00For a laptop. Julian.
00:14:02The law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:05What you're committing is extortion.
00:14:07That's illegal!
00:14:09So, him extorting me for a million was legal then, right?
00:14:12By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago?
00:14:15Huh?
00:14:16That's conservative.
00:14:17Enough!
00:14:18Julian.
00:14:19You know, I know you think you're right, but a stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars.
00:14:26A hundred million dollars? I...
00:14:29Dream on.
00:14:30Sure, a standard stellar isn't worth that much.
00:14:32But 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 three hundred million dollar partnership deal?
00:14:56Three hundred million?
00:14:57That's huge for us, but...
00:14:59Pocket change for Stellar.
00:15:00Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:03Mr. Sullivan?
00:15:05What an unexpected honor.
00:15:06I'm Sabrina Harper.
00:15:08CEO, what 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.
00:15:16People concerned for your safety and cater 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 alright?
00:15:27Yeah, I'm fine. It just...
00:15:28Took a fall.
00:15:30God.
00:15:31This damage is significant.
00:15:33With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate, this could be thirty million.
00:15:41Thirty million dollars? No, no, no, no. To fix a fucking laptop?
00:15:46That's impossible! There's no way!
00:15:48Are you questioning me?
00:15:49No, I just...
00:15:50Well, open your eyes.
00:15:51This is a one-off laptop, which still has 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've just had the critical, critical data corruption here.
00:16:04It's highly confidential files, high market value.
00:16:07I mean, with our declarations, this is at least seventy million dollars.
00:16:13That's seventy million dollars?!
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.
00:16:39I mean, who carries around a hundred million dollar 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?
00:16:52And there's no way that there's a fucking laptop that costs a hundred million dollars!
00:16:55You know what? This is a fucking scam. These two, they're working together. I'm telling you, it's a con!
00:17:00Are you serious?
00:17:01I'm Blake Sullivan. I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:04I don't fly across the city of Skimm 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. And it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:16Oh, by the way, our partnership deal? Consider it terminated.
00:17:21What?!
00:17:22Mr. Sullivan, please. Damien is just...
00:17:25He's stressed. He didn't mean...
00:17:27Save it. You 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. I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:43Stellar's legal team is legendary. He never lost.
00:17:46Damien can't fight this.
00:17:48Hell, the entire Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this.
00:17:53He's done for.
00:17:55Show me your help.
00:17:57Please.
00:18:02Please.
00:18:05Mr. Sullivan, Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation. Will that suffice?
00:18:11I'm just here to certify facts. You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:18Full payment.
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.
00:18:29Mr. Sullivan, are our partners-
00:18:30Ms. Harper, get your house in order first.
00:18:34Stellar has standards. We 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.
00:19:01Julianna, 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.
00:19:13Did you hear that, Julianna?
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.
00:19:32Which 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. Stop!
00:19:48This boy, too, I think 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.
00:19:59Which 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.
00:20:27Julian, please.
00:20:29Don'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?
00:20:36Brought you in?
00:20:37Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:40Who 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.
00:20:55Looks 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.
00:21:00Hey.
00:21:05What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:09Stand down!
00:21:10All of you!
00:21:11You, out of here.
00:21:12Now!
00:21:13Dad?
00:21:14Grandpa?
00:21:14What are you doing here?
00:21:21Julian.
00:21:21I'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!
00:21:55How 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.
00:22:22You 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.
00:22:29All of this is on us.
00:22:31Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harperfin.
00:22:35Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:41Apologize to Julian!
00:22:43Now!
00:22:43No!
00:22:43I don't care who you are, Julian.
00:22:46To 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!
00:23:02Enough!
00:23:03Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:05Let me apologize.
00:23:06Let's save him.
00:23:08If Serena can't manage an apology herself, then 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!
00:23:23Please!
00:23:24Don't!
00:23:24Without you, this place doesn't survive!
00:23:27Look!
00:23:34What?
00:23:35Oh, I guess you would have just pulled the orders.
00:23:37What do you mean, hostile 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 Enterprises 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, Serena, 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!
00:24:32It's Harper!
00:24:33This isn't a race!
00:24:34Our major partners are terminating their contracts!
00:24:37And our own liquidity can't cover the gas!
00:24:40If this continues, the stock 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!
00:24:53Serena, 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!
00:25:05Serena!
00:25:06Apologize!
00:25:08Serena!
00:25:18Serena!
00:25:19Serena!
00:25:19Serena!
00:25:19Do not apologize!
00:25:21Harper Enterprise is worth hundreds of billions of dollars!
00:25:23You 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!
00:25:31Oh!
00:25:32No!
00:25:32Oh!
00:25:34Oh!
00:25:35No, your fucking fault!
00:25:36You apologize to Julian right now!
00:25:38Get on your n-
00:25:40Dad!
00:25:41Oh!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:42Damien!
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!
00:26:11So wait, you 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 wash!
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 fiancΓ©?
00:27:09Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:13I just... I 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.
00:27:27I 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, and when Harper first went public, he was a key reason that we made it!
00:27:43If you had even half his talent, Julian, maybe I would have said yes to you once.
00:27:49But you don't.
00:27:53Damien was a key reason you made it. That's your story, right?
00:27:56What is so funny?
00:27:57I mean, I'm laughing at just how foolish you are.
00:28:01Do you know why, for the past six months, all of your proposals have sailed through?
00:28:06Why every deal that you liked happened to have closed?
00:28:09Why every time that you wanted a loan, the banks rolled out a special fast track for you?
00:28:13Because Damien is brilliant! Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way!
00:28:18Damien? Brilliant?
00:28:20That was Julian!
00:28:22Julian! Julian is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together!
00:28:27Serena!
00:28:28No, 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, I've called in 47 separate connections and cleared a path for you.
00:28:48Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange.
00:28:50And you know, I've made you Wall Street's business queen.
00:28:53That's Iron Gate, North Bridge, and 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. It's not true, huh?
00:29:15Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me, and my hard work, and my connections!
00:29:19You arrogant fool!
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:31All right, that's enough.
00:29:34I finally got the all clear from my grandfather, and I can go home.
00:29:37So as of right now, our 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 fiancΓ© who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:52Without my connections and my network, Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:57And it's going to go right back to where it was six months ago.
00:30:04Prepare yourselves.
00:30:05Julian! Julian!
00:30:08Julian!
00:30:12Serena, you silly, foolish, foolish girl!
00:30:16Grandpa, I have never been clearer. With or without him, I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:22Serena's right. Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper, I'm going to stand by Serena's side, and I'm going to give her everything
00:30:28that I've got.
00:30:29Crap. I'm going to beat the crap out of you once and for all!
00:30:33Dad, that is enough.
00:30:35Dad? Grandpa? I know you have your issues with Damien, but I believe he will prove himself to you, and
00:30:43so will I.
00:30:46I will show everyone here that what Harper achieved over the past six months was my work.
00:30:51It has nothing to do with Julian.
00:30:54This meeting is over.
00:30:57Serena, wait up!
00:30:59You!
00:31:00God! Tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:07Serena! Serena!
00:31:09Don't even worry about that. I know our Enterprise took a huge hit today, but as long as we lock
00:31:13down Amber Group's Crescent Lake project,
00:31:15change the game, and everyone will still think that we're in control. Easy!
00:31:20The $3 billion Crescent Lake project.
00:31:23If we can win that contract, we can wipe all the problems we've been facing.
00:31:28Damien, you've secured several of Amber Group's projects before, and I'm going to put this one in your hands, too.
00:31:35It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:36No, no, absolutely. You can count on me.
00:31:39Amber Group's Deputy VP of Projects? I mean, he trusts me completely.
00:31:44He else has been his eyes.
00:31:52Get the Crescent Lake contract ready.
00:31:54Same as always. Once the Harper team arrives, we hand it straight to them.
00:31:58Ms. Lawson, we just got an update. Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise. The 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, who really stirred the pot, and then Serena personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:16Serena really thinks she got where she is because of Damien?
00:32:20That for you little laptop?
00:32:22Then, do we still hand the Crescent Lake project over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:27Without Julian, Harper Enterprise really thinks it's worthy of Crescent Lake? Not a chance.
00:32:32Open it to public video.
00:32:34Yes, ma'am.
00:32:42Now that is an amazing shot Mr. Brooks.
00:32:45Damien, Crescent Lake's public bid is coming up soon.
00:32:49How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:05Damien? What does this mean, huh?
00:33:08Mr. Brooks, why don't you do yourself a favor and take a closer look?
00:33:13That's one million in clean crypto, untraceable.
00:33:17Harper Enterprise is totally prepared to take on Crescent Lake.
00:33:21We just need you to give us a little extra attention.
00:33:25Oh my, Damien, you're too kind.
00:33:28Sure, it's a public bidding on paper, but as long as I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about.
00:33:36Sit tight. Contract's yours.
00:33:41Miss Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway.
00:33:46Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:34:17Well, uh...
00:34:19Prince Julian.
00:34:21All right, Serena kicked you out. Six months of hard work, down the drain. What does that feel?
00:34:30Oh, I see. So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit. Is that right?
00:34:35Of course. Not.
00:34:40I'm here to steal you. You see, since your engagement is off, I was thinking,
00:34:48how about you consider me, huh?
00:34:54Guys like us, we don't get to escape alliances. Our families will bear us off either way, so
00:35:02why pick a stranger when there's someone who actually knows you? You see, childhood friends,
00:35:10same circles, 15 years of school. We match, you know? We fit.
00:35:22Hang on. Nora, are you saying this because you're drunk or do you...
00:35:26Shh. I'm not drunk. Okay? You don't have to answer me tonight. Just think about it.
00:35:40Hmm?
00:35:50I don't know.
00:35:52Shh.
00:35:52I can't do it here, huh?
00:35:53Yeah.
00:35:54She's got a jewish hat.
00:35:55Hmm.
00:36:04What are you talking about?
00:36:11I told you, I'm not drunk.
00:36:13You're alright.
00:36:14You swim soon, come off.
00:36:16Oh, shit.
00:36:17I'm drunk.
00:36:19You're alright.
00:36:20You swim soon, 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, listen.
00:37:03Okay, but aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines when Amber Group's CEO get caught
00:37:07in the scandal at a pool party?
00:37:09Rumor to my own boost to my company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breast
00:37:14go through.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:16Okay.
00:37:20But if you stay through to me like this for the rest of the night, I think my heart's going
00:37:27to skip on its chest.
00:37:41And suffer.
00:37:42Okay?
00:37:44If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:52Please, just walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:11Speak of the devil, of all good times.
00:38:19You know, this is a private party for Amber Group's CEO.
00:38:22You know what I lost?
00:38:23Not exactly the kind of place where anybody could just wander into.
00:38:27Oh, wait.
00:38:30Well, well.
00:38:32I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:36Feelings for Serena weren't that deep after all.
00:38:38Can I help you with something?
00:38:41Seriously?
00:38:42This woman's even better than Serena.
00:38:45How does a loser like Julian always get women?
00:38:47I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:38:49Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here, she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:38:55Pouring herself out like this?
00:38:58It's been all day great.
00:39:00Is that so?
00:39:02You know, I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Crescent Lake project.
00:39:09What, you're bidding too?
00:39:11Yeah, I know you got connection.
00:39:12And that's great, you know.
00:39:13But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:15Me, I got real talent.
00:39:17All right?
00:39:17And I'm going to win Crescent Lake for Serena.
00:39:19You, you're just going to fucking lose like you lose everything else.
00:39:24Good luck.
00:39:36See that?
00:39:37That is a shameless whore.
00:39:40That woman seems familiar.
00:39:42Samantha, you don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:46All right, come on.
00:39:47Let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:39:48Let's go socialize and maybe we'll run into the host of the party lost in herself.
00:39:53And if we do, I'll make sure we're going to go to brush.
00:40:14So that pretty boy Damien actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:19Tonight we're going to see who's really on top.
00:40:22Okay.
00:40:23Manners, this is a public event.
00:40:25What?
00:40:26You've known me since we were kids.
00:40:28Why would I pretend around you?
00:40:31But if you like classy, I can do classy.
00:40:35Oh, can you?
00:40:35Yeah.
00:40:36You can do classy?
00:40:37Yeah.
00:40:38Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:45I'll let you get to it.
00:40:50Sally?
00:40:54Julia!
00:41:08Julia!
00:41:11I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:13You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:17You know what?
00:41:18Mason Brooks, Amber Group's deputy VP of projects, already agreed to award the contract to Harper
00:41:24Enterprise.
00:41:26You can't win.
00:41:31I hear the Crescent Lake project is basically yours.
00:41:34Congratulations!
00:41:36Serena, you are the business queen of Wall Street, and with Damien backing you up, it's
00:41:40unstoppable.
00:41:41When the two of you take off, don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:44Of course.
00:41:45You know, we're going to take care of you guys.
00:41:46Thank you so much.
00:41:54See that, Julian?
00:41:56Everybody already knows that Crescent Lake belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:59I suggest you walk out of here before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:42:02It's funny.
00:42:03You see, my Clark Group has deeper capital, better tech, and a stronger global record than
00:42:09Harper Enterprise.
00:42:10So, I'm just curious.
00:42:11Why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:14He recognizes Damien's talent.
00:42:16Of course.
00:42:21I need to take this.
00:42:28Hi, Julian.
00:42:32What century are you living in?
00:42:34Hmm?
00:42:35You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:38Then what does?
00:42:40I ain't really that fucking stupid.
00:42:42Of course this.
00:42:45I paid Mason Brooks one million in crypto.
00:42:48What do you have that's going to be that?
00:42:51You paid Mason Brooks?
00:42:54That's impossible.
00:42:55He wouldn't dare.
00:42:56That's impossible.
00:42:57He wouldn't dare.
00:42:58Yeah, you want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart.
00:43:01But hey, you're a very lovely, beautiful escort.
00:43:05Why don't you do us all a favor?
00:43:06Get up on that stage and give us a nice little poll show.
00:43:09Hey.
00:43:10Hey, I'm going to tell you.
00:43:11You want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:15Because every time I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune.
00:43:21Capital technology is useless.
00:43:25Fucking trash.
00:43:28Mason Brooks, you've got a lot in there.
00:43:30He's finished.
00:43:32Mr. Brooks is finished.
00:43:34Who the fuck is this?
00:43:36Who are you?
00:43:37What do you think?
00:43:37You're the Amber Group CEO or something?
00:43:41Who gave you the fucking cuts?
00:43:43It's adorable, no?
00:43:44Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:43:47Anti-anti-anti-corruption?
00:43:50Hmm?
00:43:50Hmm?
00:44:02What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:03Hmm?
00:44:07You hit me.
00:44:09You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:11I'm going to have Mason Brooks crush you with one phone call.
00:44:17There he is.
00:44:18Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:19You're finished.
00:44:22Mr. Brooks.
00:44:23What do you mean my friend?
00:44:24There's a woman here.
00:44:26She said she's going to report to you.
00:44:27Come on, please.
00:44:27Teach her a lesson.
00:44:28Oh, report me?
00:44:30Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:31This woman right here.
00:44:35Miss...
00:44:36Lawson?
00:44:36She's even...
00:44:37She's even quoted the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:40Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:41What?
00:44:42What?
00:44:44This...
00:44:45This...
00:44:45This...
00:44:46This can't be...
00:44:49Go ahead.
00:44:50Laugh.
00:44:51Laugh some more.
00:44:52Are you insane, Damien?
00:44:54You'll say anything out loud.
00:44:55Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:44:56She's just a gold-dicking whore.
00:44:58I mean, even if she rats you out, who's going to believe this...
00:45:02Why are you hitting me?
00:45:03Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:05When did I ever take your money?
00:45:07I never took one cent.
00:45:09Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:11Idiot.
00:45:12Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:14This Lawson, this...
00:45:16This Damien, he's a lunatic.
00:45:18He's making things up.
00:45:20Don't listen to him.
00:45:21I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:24Not once.
00:45:27Miss Lawson?
00:45:30No, no, no, wait.
00:45:31This is...
00:45:31You're Nora Lawson?
00:45:32Amber's group CEO?
00:45:34How is that possible?
00:45:35How is that fucking...
00:45:36Mr. Brooks!
00:45:37Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:39Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:43We promise we won't let you down.
00:45:47Stop!
00:45:48Shut the fuck up!
00:45:50When did I ever give you anything?
00:45:54Miss Lawson?
00:45:55These Harper Enterprise people?
00:45:56They're all out of their minds.
00:45:59They lie like the wind.
00:46:00I can't believe a word they say.
00:46:03Miss Lawson?
00:46:05Miss Lawson?
00:46:07She's Nora Lawson?
00:46:12The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:14Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:16You can leave now.
00:46:20Miss Lawson, I am so sorry.
00:46:23Damien didn't know who you were,
00:46:25so he thought that you and Julian were being, um, inappropriate.
00:46:29But I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:32He is blunt, yes.
00:46:35But his ability is exceptional.
00:46:38Please, give Harper Enterprise the contract,
00:46:41and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:46:45Exceptional ability?
00:46:47Are you sure about that?
00:46:49Of course.
00:46:50If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:46:55You're about to find out.
00:47:02Damien?
00:47:04What does she mean?
00:47:06Oh, shit.
00:47:07I can't let her find out I secured every project.
00:47:10Right.
00:47:10So she's upset because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:13So she wants revenge.
00:47:15So she's going to embarrass Harper Enterprise in front of everyone.
00:47:17So what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:19Let's go.
00:47:20Go?
00:47:21If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:26Even if Miss Lawson is trying to punish us,
00:47:28we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:29Serena, please!
00:47:30Okay?
00:47:30I'm sorry.
00:47:32Here we go now.
00:47:33All right?
00:47:34I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones,
00:47:35but we need to go now.
00:47:36Come on.
00:47:37What is wrong with you today?
00:47:39Are you hiding something from me?
00:47:41I...
00:47:54You want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart?
00:47:58Technology capital.
00:48:00Useless fucking trash.
00:48:02What?
00:48:03Shit!
00:48:03She actually recorded it?
00:48:05And escort.
00:48:06So why don't you do us all a nice little favor,
00:48:08get up on that stage,
00:48:09give us a nice little poll show.
00:48:13Who is that?
00:48:15He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:18That's Damien Blackwell,
00:48:19Harper Enterprise's executive assistant.
00:48:21How do you not know him?
00:48:22All of the best Amber projects
00:48:24being sent to Harper Enterprises
00:48:26over the past six months,
00:48:27and now we know they were bought.
00:48:31That's not true.
00:48:32All of that's a lie.
00:48:33Just don't...
00:48:34Just don't...
00:48:34Don't believe it.
00:48:35I...
00:48:35Just turn it up.
00:48:36Turn it up right now!
00:48:37Stop him!
00:48:39Let go of me!
00:48:42Damien, you did this behind my back?
00:48:44This is your talent?
00:48:45Your ability?
00:48:47Yes, Sermina, please just see us.
00:48:49Mr. Brooks is missing.
00:48:51What a fucking ridiculous thing to say.
00:48:52I mean, who are you to say anything?
00:48:54What do you think, your Amber group CEO?
00:48:57Amber...
00:48:58Turn it off, please.
00:49:00Okay?
00:49:00Okay, Miss Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:49:02Just...
00:49:03Please stop it!
00:49:04Please!
00:49:04Please!
00:49:06Bribery is one thing,
00:49:07but mistaking Miss Lawson for an escort?
00:49:10A whore?
00:49:12He's fucking blind.
00:49:13The best part?
00:49:14He confessed right in front of her
00:49:16that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:18Genius!
00:49:19And Serena trusted him to be her assistant?
00:49:22I mean, what does that say about her judgment?
00:49:24Damien,
00:49:25you have disappointed me beyond words.
00:49:28Serena, I did it because I cared about you.
00:49:30Because I care about Harper Enterprise.
00:49:32Please, I'm...
00:49:32Can you tell me the truth?
00:49:34Enough.
00:49:35Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:37Mason Brooks,
00:49:38you're fired.
00:49:40Effective immediately.
00:49:42I'm done.
00:49:44The Crescent Lake Project.
00:49:47Harper Enterprise is disqualified.
00:49:50Every single project Amber Group has done together with them
00:49:53will be suspended.
00:49:55The projects will be back for competitive bidding.
00:49:59No, no, you can't do that.
00:50:02Those projects are our next three years.
00:50:04They affect thousands of employees.
00:50:06Their lives are future.
00:50:08And why the person who hired Trash
00:50:10is called it talent?
00:50:13Real talent.
00:50:20Pathetic.
00:50:25Serena.
00:50:28Please, you gotta let me explain.
00:50:31Miss Lawson, wait.
00:50:32Serena!
00:50:42I just avenged you in front of a lot of people.
00:50:45Asking for dinner isn't too much, right?
00:50:47Not at all.
00:50:49You pick.
00:50:50My treat.
00:50:51Generous.
00:50:52Let's go.
00:50:53Time to rob the tycoon.
00:50:57Miss Lawson,
00:50:59Damien was wrong to bribe anyone,
00:51:02and I apologize on his behalf.
00:51:05Just please,
00:51:07give Harper Enterprise another chance.
00:51:09I will meet the highest standards.
00:51:12I will deliver a perfect result
00:51:13on every project.
00:51:15Perfect result?
00:51:17And what exactly guarantees that?
00:51:19Your empty suit assistant?
00:51:22Miss Lawson,
00:51:24Damien made a mistake,
00:51:27but his ability is exceptional.
00:51:30For six months,
00:51:31he managed every Harper Enterprise project
00:51:33lawlessly.
00:51:34No errors, no delays.
00:51:36If you don't pull this contract,
00:51:38I guarantee
00:51:39he will make sure you see his value.
00:51:44Managed flawlessly.
00:51:46He's not the only empty suit here.
00:51:49Year or two.
00:51:50Miss Lawson,
00:51:52you are crossing a line!
00:51:56I understand that
00:51:57you and Julian are close,
00:51:59and you want to get back at me for him.
00:52:01But humiliating someone like this,
00:52:03isn't that a little cruel?
00:52:05You really think I froze our cooperation
00:52:07because Damien, right, Mason?
00:52:10Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:12For six months,
00:52:14Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted
00:52:17from Ember Group.
00:52:19For one reason.
00:52:21Julian Clark.
00:52:23Damien has nothing to do with that.
00:52:26He was just a messenger boy
00:52:28who picked up the contracts.
00:52:29What?
00:52:31When Julian was there,
00:52:32bribe or no bribe,
00:52:34Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:37But now,
00:52:38Julian's gone,
00:52:39so the special treatment is gone.
00:52:42Damien's little ribbing incident?
00:52:44It was just a convenient excuse
00:52:46to take everything back.
00:52:47Understand now?
00:52:52And about those flawless projects,
00:52:55Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly
00:52:57because Damien is brilliant.
00:53:00It ran smoothly because Julian
00:53:02called every partner,
00:53:04every supplier,
00:53:05every gatekeeper
00:53:06and cleared the path for you.
00:53:08Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:13No.
00:53:15That's not true.
00:53:16I don't believe it.
00:53:17You don't believe me?
00:53:19Then watch.
00:53:20Watch what happens
00:53:22when Julian leaves.
00:53:24Let's see if your exceptional Damien
00:53:26can keep everything perfect
00:53:28when Julian is not there
00:53:29to hold the world together for you.
00:53:33Come on, let's go.
00:53:41Julian, is what she's saying true?
00:53:45You were right about one thing, Serena.
00:53:47Julian and I are closer than you thought.
00:53:50That's why it disgusts me
00:53:51watching him waste his life away
00:53:54on a selfish and blind woman like you.
00:54:01Was I wrong?
00:54:02No, no, no, Serena, Serena,
00:54:03do not listen to her nonsense.
00:54:05Harper's success
00:54:06is based off of my hard work.
00:54:09Okay, Nora Lawson,
00:54:09she's just attacking
00:54:10and slandering my name
00:54:12to defend Julian.
00:54:14You have to believe me.
00:54:15Please, you have to understand.
00:54:16Because of you,
00:54:18Crescent Lake is gone.
00:54:19Every Amber project is gone.
00:54:22Harper Enterprise
00:54:23is on the edge of collapse
00:54:25and you're asking me to trust you?
00:54:27How?
00:54:28Tell me how.
00:54:30Please, just listen to me.
00:54:32Okay, yeah, we lost Amber,
00:54:33but we're not finished.
00:54:35I mean, we still have the partners
00:54:36and the CEOs.
00:54:37I mean, they love me.
00:54:38They absolutely love and adore me.
00:54:41I promise.
00:54:41You know what?
00:54:42Matter of fact,
00:54:43I'm going to call
00:54:43and I'm going to get you
00:54:44some new projects right now.
00:54:49Hello, Mr. Foster.
00:54:50It's Damien here.
00:54:51I hear the Grandview Plaza
00:54:52is taking bids
00:54:53and Harper Enterprise,
00:54:55you know,
00:54:55we would absolutely love love.
00:54:57Harper Enterprise?
00:54:58Who the hell is that?
00:54:59Do you think you're even
00:55:00in the same league
00:55:01as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:03Uh, Mr. Foster,
00:55:06what do you mean?
00:55:07I, last time we spoke,
00:55:09you said that you believed
00:55:11in the Harper Enterprise
00:55:11and that you would love
00:55:12to work together.
00:55:13Listen up.
00:55:14That's because Julian Clark
00:55:16was in your damn enterprise.
00:55:17I was giving him respect.
00:55:20You don't flatter yourself,
00:55:22bunch of blind dumbasses.
00:55:23Call me again
00:55:24and I'll block your fucking number.
00:55:27So what really was Julian?
00:55:28No, no,
00:55:29that's not possible.
00:55:31I don't believe that.
00:55:32I don't.
00:55:33Hello, Mr. Parker.
00:55:34It's Damien.
00:55:35I was hoping to talk
00:55:35about future collaborations.
00:55:37Damien,
00:55:38you've got the fucking nerve
00:55:40to call me?
00:55:41I gave Harper Enterprise projects
00:55:43because of Mr. Clark
00:55:44and then you turned around
00:55:45and claimed you closed the deal?
00:55:48Who gave you the audacity?
00:55:50Shameless trash?
00:55:54Miss Parker.
00:55:56Miss Parker,
00:55:57no, no,
00:55:57God damn it!
00:55:59No, no,
00:56:00I don't believe this.
00:56:01I don't believe this.
00:56:02Fucking Julian
00:56:03this whole fucking time.
00:56:05God damn it.
00:56:06Sorry, sorry.
00:56:08Hello?
00:56:09Mr. Turner,
00:56:10it's Damien.
00:56:11Damien,
00:56:12who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:13Calling me directly?
00:56:15Learn some manners.
00:56:18Julian was polite enough
00:56:19to tolerate you playing
00:56:20sideman with his fiance.
00:56:22I'm not,
00:56:22you bastard too.
00:56:25Mr. Turner?
00:56:27Mr. Turner,
00:56:28please.
00:56:31What the fuck
00:56:32is happening?
00:56:39Miss Harper?
00:56:40This is bad.
00:56:41Our partners
00:56:42are flooding us
00:56:43with messages.
00:56:44They're suspending contracts,
00:56:45pulling out of deals.
00:56:46Wait,
00:56:46what is happening?
00:56:48They said before
00:56:49they only worked
00:56:50with Harper Enterprise
00:56:51because Julian Clark
00:56:52backed us.
00:56:53Now that he's gone,
00:56:53they don't trust us
00:56:54with their project.
00:56:56Julian.
00:56:58It's Julian again.
00:57:03No, it's true.
00:57:05They only gave us deals
00:57:07because of Julian.
00:57:09Julian!
00:57:10No, no, no, no.
00:57:10Swingo, please.
00:57:11Okay?
00:57:12They're just saying that
00:57:13because Julian has been
00:57:14paying them off.
00:57:15Think about it.
00:57:15Okay?
00:57:16You know what?
00:57:16Just give you some time
00:57:17and I'll get you
00:57:18some new projects.
00:57:19I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:20I swear.
00:57:20Get away from me!
00:57:23You liar!
00:57:24You fraud, Damien!
00:57:26All those CEOs!
00:57:28They only had you
00:57:29pick up contracts
00:57:30from them
00:57:31and you told me
00:57:32you negotiated
00:57:33the deals.
00:57:34I swear.
00:57:35I didn't know
00:57:36that they would.
00:57:39Get out of my sight.
00:57:42Now!
00:57:59Fuck!
00:58:00Damn it!
00:58:01No!
00:58:02I was this close
00:58:02to locking Serena down
00:58:04stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:05I'm not letting it end
00:58:06like this.
00:58:12Serena,
00:58:13you really thought
00:58:14you were smart.
00:58:16But you're really just
00:58:18pathetic
00:58:19trash
00:58:20without Julian,
00:58:22you're nothing.
00:58:33Dad warned you.
00:58:35Grandpa warned you.
00:58:37And you still
00:58:38wouldn't
00:58:40listen.
00:58:42You ignored
00:58:43everything Julian did
00:58:44and worshipped
00:58:45a con artist
00:58:47like
00:58:47Damien.

00:59:58Please come back.
01:00:04Damn back.
01:00:09You don't have to be scared.
01:00:12Harper Enterprise is business, Queen.
01:00:14So much better than those cheap girls.
01:00:16Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine.
01:00:21Oh, Damien!
01:00:23You sick bastard!
01:00:25You sick bastard!
01:00:30You really mean it.

01:00:56Help me!
01:00:56Help me!
01:00:58I tried being nice to you.
01:00:59I fucking tried!
01:01:01But you keep biting me back!
01:01:02Help!
01:01:03Help!
01:01:04Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:05Keep fucking screaming!
01:01:07Right?
01:01:08You're not gonna say no.
01:01:10I'm gonna fuck you.
01:01:12Help!
01:01:14Help!
01:01:16Julian!
01:01:17Julian!
01:01:18Help!
01:01:19Oh!
01:01:21Get him out of here!
01:01:23Stop!
01:01:23Let me go!
01:01:25Julian!
01:01:25Julian, you're always running the fucking lights.
01:01:27This is an offer.
01:01:32Julian!
01:01:34Thank God you came and you had like...
01:01:36We are not that close.
01:01:40I was just passing through.
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.
01:01:57Just...
01:01:58Please come back.
01:01:59Julian!
01:02:01Our reservation is in ten 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...
01:02:37One 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...
01:02:51And...
01:02:51I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:54The 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 city-wide bolo...
01:03:17On that...
01:03:18Bastard Damien.
01:03:19He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:22We're not letting that go.
01:03:25No.
01:03:26We're not.
01:03:27Understood.
01:03:59Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:06What is this supposed to be?
01:04:08A gift for you?
01:04:10Myself?
01:04:12I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:15Amber group backs you up.
01:04:16No questions asked.
01:04:18But first...
01:04:19You have to accept the gift.
01:04:22Properly.
01:04:32Hey, can you not do that?
01:04:35You're making this incredibly awkward.
01:04:38You know a woman like me shows up a gift wrapped...
01:04:41And any man would've, you know...
01:04:44Pounced me by now.
01:04:46Don't tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:49Hung up?
01:04:52You're not gonna be hung up on Serena.
01:04:53She and I were never romantic.
01:04:56No, it's just a...
01:04:57Business marriage between two families.
01:05:00Things are moving too fast.
01:05:02The other thing twice.
01:05:04But I don't have time.
01:05:06My family is preparing to send me off into a...
01:05:09European alliance.
01:05:11Some old money.
01:05:13Perfect match they can show off at Gallus.
01:05:16Wait, what are you talking about? Are you serious?
01:05:18Yes, Julian.
01:05:20My uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune and...
01:05:23He'll do whatever it takes to get rid of me permanently.
01:05:26But I don't want a stranger. I want you.
01:05:28I love you.
01:05:31Julian...
01:05:33Let's make it official.
01:05:35Let's get married.
01:05:38You know, if...
01:05:40You'll marry me, my family won't dare object.
01:05:45Please, Julian.
01:05:56Okay.
01:05:58I'll marry you.
01:06:00Are you serious?
01:06:02No take-backs.
01:06:03No take-backs.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:05I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:08But...
01:06:09Can you...
01:06:10Help me out?
01:06:11Um...
01:06:12My hands aren't getting...
01:06:15So impatient.
01:06:19It's like you said...
01:06:21If I accept the gift...
01:06:25Then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:31Then be gentle.
01:06:42Julian, you...
01:06:43Didn't forget what you promised last night, right?
01:06:46Uh, no.
01:06:47Because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:06:49Of course I remember that.
01:06:51You know, when someone wraps themselves as a gift...
01:06:54Kinda...
01:06:54You kinda remember that for the rest of your life.
01:06:56Details!
01:06:58Those are just...
01:06:59Tiny details.
01:07:02You look like big details to me.
01:07:07Julian...
01:07:09Can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:12Serena, I really don't think there's anything we need to discuss.
01:07:14Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:15I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:17I misjudged everything.
01:07:19Please.
01:07:20Just give me one more chance and...
01:07:22I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:24And if you take me back, just tell me what you want.
01:07:26I'll do anything.
01:07:27I'm sorry, I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:33Boyfriend?
01:07:33Boyfriend?
01:07:39Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:07:43Well, Julian hates them too.
01:07:45And yet you stayed at Harper Enterprise for six full months.
01:07:49He asked you out 37 times.
01:07:52So tell me, what exactly are you proud of?
01:07:55Hmm?
01:07:57Men like him?
01:07:59If you treat him like trash, someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:08:04Listen carefully, we are all together now, so...
01:08:07Better keep your distance.
01:08:09If you don't...
01:08:11I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:14Come on.
01:08:15We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:18Let's not be late.
01:08:19Wedding outfits.
01:08:23Let's go.
01:08:28Let's go.
01:08:37So how did it go?
01:08:39Julian?
01:08:40He's with Nora.
01:08:46Nora.
01:08:47Nora.
01:08:48Nora Lawson.
01:08:49CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:51Of course.
01:08:52You know, Serena, an elite like Julian.
01:08:56The second you let go, somebody comes and grabs him.
01:09:00You don't get another chance.
01:09:01God gave our family a chance.
01:09:04And we blew it.
01:09:07God, forgive the Harpers.
01:09:09Please.
01:09:11Ms. Harper, Finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:15Harper Enterprise's cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:18If we don't act immediately, we won't even have enough to make payroll this month.
01:09:24Great.
01:09:25Now all of Wall Street knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:29That wasn't going to lend to us now.
01:09:31How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:33This is my fault, okay?
01:09:35I was blind.
01:09:36Are you proud now?
01:09:39I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:09:43I didn't realize that Julian was running everything.
01:09:47And the moment he's gone, I...
01:09:48I can't do anything.
01:09:51Dad!
01:09:53Grandpa!
01:09:54I'm so sorry.
01:09:55I ruined Harper Enterprise.
01:09:58I ruined everything.
01:10:00Dad.
01:10:01You're the one who arranged the engagement with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:05So maybe you should go talk to him.
01:10:07And see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:10Yes, Grandpa.
01:10:12Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:14If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:17Clark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:20Yes.
01:10:22They honored our engagement.
01:10:25And that was a mercy.
01:10:26That was a blessing.
01:10:28But you threw it away.
01:10:32Still.
01:10:34For your sake and for your future.
01:10:37And for our future.
01:10:39We'll fight.
01:10:44We'll fight.
01:10:46Serena.
01:10:48When you see Julian's grandfather, your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:55If he forgives you, only then will you know that you have a chance to get Julian back.
01:11:02Understood, Grandpa.
01:11:04For the Harper family, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:22Welcome.
01:11:23You must be here for Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:28Perfect timing.
01:11:29They're just about to start.
01:11:32Engagement party?
01:11:34So they're really engaged?
01:11:36Wait, how is this all happening so fast?
01:11:40What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:42Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson have known each other since they were born and everyone is so happy that they're
01:11:48finally getting married.
01:11:49Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:52You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:11:55Then please leave.
01:11:58Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:12:05If there's an engagement party, that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:13And that means we're done.
01:12:17There's no more chances left.
01:12:19We're leaving.
01:12:21Is this my punishment?
01:12:25All right, everyone.
01:12:26Big smiles.
01:12:44Julian!
01:12:45Are you okay?
01:12:46Hey.
01:12:52What is it?
01:12:53Oh, it's nothing.
01:12:55Come on.
01:12:55Dinner's almost ready.
01:13:10Dad!
01:13:11The Harpers!
01:13:13My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:18For a young one.
01:13:19The six months at Harper Enterprise.
01:13:22It was a total humiliation.
01:13:26We've shown that Harper had more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:31Understood, Dad.
01:13:40Okay, enough, Serena.
01:13:42Stop.
01:13:42You can't drink this away.
01:13:45Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:13:48If you don't get up, it's over.
01:13:51Just leave me the fuck alone.
01:13:53Okay?
01:13:54Just let me drink.
01:13:55I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:57I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:13:59No, you...
01:14:00No, you...
01:14:02All right.
01:14:03I've got to take this.
01:14:04Don't move.
01:14:05I'll be right back, and then I am taking you home.
01:14:17Okay, Nora.
01:14:20Okay, Nora.
01:14:21Be honest.
01:14:23You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:25You just got engaged, and you're getting married next week?
01:14:30Let's see.
01:14:31You've known Julian for 20-plus years.
01:14:34You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:14:36I've liked Julian for 20 years, and I finally got him to say yes.
01:14:40You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:14:42Lock it down from what?
01:14:43From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:14:46They're collapsing and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:14:50I have to move fast.
01:14:52If they start begging, what if Julian hesitates?
01:14:57But Julian and Serena were forced into that.
01:15:00There's no real love.
01:15:02Why will Julian hesitate?
01:15:03What are you afraid of?
01:15:05You don't get it.
01:15:07Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months,
01:15:10and it wasn't just because his grandfather ordered it.
01:15:13Then why?
01:15:17Because Serena...
01:15:19is his type.
01:15:20Wait, what?
01:15:24I am Julian's type?
01:15:27No way!
01:15:29I'm serious.
01:15:30The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:15:33That exact time.
01:15:35I mean, with his personality,
01:15:38even if his grandfather forced him,
01:15:40he would have stayed there for three days max,
01:15:42and then vanished.
01:15:43He would not stay there and take six months of humiliation
01:15:47if he didn't want it.
01:15:49That's Julian Clark.
01:15:51So that's why?
01:15:53Serena must have destroyed him.
01:15:55I have to get married fast.
01:15:57I cannot give her a single chance.
01:16:00So that's what it was.
01:16:02Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:16:05because I'm his type.
01:16:06He likes me.
01:16:07That means...
01:16:08I still have a chance.
01:16:10I still have a chance.
01:16:11I still have a chance.
01:16:12This is my last shot.
01:16:13I am not wasting it.
01:16:22Where is she?
01:16:28Ladies and gentlemen,
01:16:30let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:45Wow.
01:16:46They look perfect together.
01:16:48They're childhood sweethearts.
01:16:49The whole fantasy.
01:16:51Oh, my God.
01:16:52Brilliant.
01:16:54And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:09Wait!
01:17:16Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:19I'll be there.
01:17:20Who is that?
01:17:20Is that Serena Harper?
01:17:22The CEO of Harper Enterprise?
01:17:24You mean the woman who rode on Julian's back to the IPO
01:17:27and then kicked him out like he was nothing?
01:17:29Without Julian, Harper Enterprise is basically bankrupt.
01:17:33Pathotic.
01:17:34Wait!
01:17:36Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:40Julian.
01:17:41I know you like me.
01:17:43You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:52I know.
01:17:53I was wrong.
01:17:54Totally wrong, okay?
01:17:56Just please, give me another chance.
01:18:02Our engagement is over.
01:18:04In fact, you were the one that called it off.
01:18:07Look, this is my wedding.
01:18:09Have some dignity.
01:18:10In fact, can we get her out of here, please?
01:18:11No, please.
01:18:13I'll do anything.
01:18:14Just stop.
01:18:20I know you hate me because I rejected you 37 times, but I'll make it up to you.
01:18:28I'll chase you 37 times, 370 times, whatever it did.
01:18:33Can we please get her out?
01:18:35No, don't touch me.
01:18:36Julia, what do you want from me?
01:18:38I know you like me.
01:18:40So, so why won't you give me another chance?
01:18:42Why?
01:18:47Simple question.
01:18:49Do you love me?
01:18:53I...
01:18:53Exactly.
01:18:54You don't.
01:18:55You didn't realize you made a mistake.
01:18:57You realized that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:19:00See, what you want is not a chance, but a tool.
01:19:05You want me back so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:09No, that, that, that's not true.
01:19:13Just please, listen, please, listen.
01:19:17Serena, when you threw me out of Harper Enterprise, do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:23Let me ask you this.
01:19:24If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed, if your value kept climbing, would you still be here standing in front of
01:19:30me today?
01:19:33I...
01:19:34No, no, you wouldn't.
01:19:35You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:37You'd be celebrating.
01:19:38You'd say that you earned the business queen crown.
01:19:41You'd be mocking me, calling me pathetic.
01:19:44You'd say that firing me was the best decision you ever made.
01:19:46Plus, you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:19:48No.
01:19:50No, Julian, that...
01:19:52That's not me.
01:19:53Just admit it, Serena.
01:19:56You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:58But on my wedding day, you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:20:01Why?
01:20:02Because you want me back as your lifeline.
01:20:04Your donor.
01:20:05Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:07But the moment I stop being useful, you will kick me away again without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:13No.
01:20:14No, Julian.
01:20:16That is not true the night that you saved me from Damien.
01:20:21I...
01:20:23I felt something for you.
01:20:24I did.
01:20:25Stop.
01:20:26Do not perform at my wedding.
01:20:28You don't regret hurting me.
01:20:30You regret choosing the wrong man.
01:20:32You regret that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:20:35You know, I'll admit.
01:20:36When I met you, you were exactly my type.
01:20:41But once I got to know you, once I realized what you really are, all I felt was disgust.
01:20:48But Nora, she has cared for me since we were kids.
01:20:56When I was sick, she stayed up all night taking care of me.
01:21:01When I was at my lowest, she pulled me back up.
01:21:04Even when I went back to Harper Enterprise on the engagement, she still supported me.
01:21:10She still took hits from me.
01:21:15So, let me ask you.
01:21:18Why would I give up all of that for you?
01:21:22What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:29Get her out.
01:21:30No, no.
01:21:31No, please don't, Julian.
01:21:33Don't, don't.
01:21:34I'm begging you.
01:21:35Just please let me explain.
01:21:37Please.
01:21:38Please.
01:21:39Stop.
01:21:39Let me go.
01:21:40Julian, please don't do it.
01:21:42Crashing a wedding like that?
01:21:44I thought she actually loved him.
01:21:46Turns out, she just realized, without Julian, she can't stay on top.
01:21:50She used Julian's feelings like a weapon.
01:21:52Totally vampire-drained him dry.
01:22:24Mr. Clark!
01:22:26Mr. Clark!
01:22:43I'm sure you've all heard.
01:22:45Harper Enterprise, affected today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:49So, we're all being terminated.
01:22:52Are you wanting to?
01:22:52What?
01:22:54Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:22:56I've given this company 15 years.
01:22:59You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:23:0115 years, wow.
01:23:03Congratulations.
01:23:04You've had 15 years to make this company clean.
01:23:06Instead, you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:10You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:13You've seen how you all work.
01:23:16Bribes.
01:23:17Embezzlement.
01:23:20Kickbacks.
01:23:22Fraud.
01:23:24Everyone beat us a smile.
01:23:26So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms.
01:23:30And once you sign them, hand over your badges, or you're going to rob you.
01:23:37This, this is it.
01:23:53Are you satisfied now?
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 don't you get thrown away and still land something better?
01:24:26I spent my whole life climbing upwards, and now I'm stuck at the bottom, hunted by cops.
01:24:32I won't accept it.
01:24:34Julian, watch out!
01:24:35Julian, let's go!
01:24:40Let me go!
01:24:41Fuck you, let me go!
01:24:42I already spared you.
01:24:43You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:46Go ahead, take him to the police.
01:24:47Get the best lawyer money can buy.
01:24:48I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:50Fuck the coward.
01:24:50You're a fucking coward!
01:24:52Hiding behind your goddamn family's money?
01:24:53No, no, fight me.
01:24:55101!
01:24:55101, let the guards go!
01:24:57You don't have the fucking guts, do you?
01:25:02Hey, Julian.
01:25:04What was that?
01:25:06Just staking out the trash.
01:25:09Are you done here?
01:25:11No.
01:25:12Let's go.
01:25:19I was wrong!
01:25:21Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:24I was wrong!
01:25:25I was wrong!
