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 our situation.
00:00:11Help me up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:14Help me up here, I'm drowning.
00:00:16Help me up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:21No, you have to.
00:00:22I need you to buy the stock, alright?
00:00:23You gotta do it now.
00:00:26This 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.
00:00:31We're about to become the laughing stock of Wall Street.
00:00:33No, no, we're not finished.
00:00:36We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:41The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:46Julia, we need you. Again.
00:00:49Shit.
00:00:50Shit.
00:00:53Give me a sec.
00:00:58Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:01Good, good, yeah.
00:01:03I just need to ask for a little favor.
00:01:10Julian, you saved my ass last time. I owe you.
00:01:13I'm moving liquidity to Harper now.
00:01:17Great.
00:01:21The stock price is recovering.
00:01:24How 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.
00:01:34Called in all hands.
00:01:35All department leads.
00:01:36Conference room in 10 minutes.
00:01:38Chairman's orders.
00:01:39Why will Damien call in the meeting?
00:01:41He despises you.
00:01:43Watch your back.
00:02:11Today, Damien successfully
00:02:14neutralized the short attack against Harper
00:02:16and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:19Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:27Since when does Damien know how to take over from a hole in the ground?
00:02:30He must have stole the swing from someone else.
00:02:32Remember what he did to Anthony from investments?
00:02:35Damien took credit for his deal.
00:02:37Anthony pushed back and Damien used his pool with Serena to get him fired.
00:02:45Hello?
00:02:46Is there a problem?
00:02:49Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the fire.
00:02:52The least that every single one of you could do.
00:02:53Damien.
00:02:56Of course.
00:02:58Questions?
00:03:00I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:08Julian.
00:03:09The company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:13Pirate may be.
00:03:14Keep sharing.
00:03:14I'm listening.
00:03:18This conference room isn't your god damn gaming lounge!
00:03:22Wait, I'm sorry everyone.
00:03:24I forgot.
00:03:27You're just the resident good for nothing.
00:03:28My strategy is you probably couldn't comprehend them let alone ask a decent god damn question.
00:03:37Well, since you're so keen on getting my contribution, let's start with a question.
00:03:42Which funds were behind the short attack?
00:03:44And what was their distinct objective?
00:03:46And what specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:48Doesn't matter.
00:03:49What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:51You can't even name the enemy?
00:03:53Alright, fine.
00:03:54Next 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...
00:04:03Well...
00:04:05Um...
00:04:05Well, I uh...
00:04:06Well...
00:04:07Well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:09Alright.
00:04:10So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room, the countermeasures
00:04:14for a potential proxies fight, or which SCC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:21Let's be real.
00:04:23You are nothing but a gloryhound who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees for real.
00:04:37You, a 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!
00:04:57You hear that, Dad?
00:04:59I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:03Understood.
00:05:05Well, 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 and raised it to three trillion dollars.
00:05:19You've proven everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:21Now, uh, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:25Harper's, uh, old friends, good staff, you know?
00:05:28Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper.
00:05:32What you're talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:34Feelings can grow, brat.
00:05:36Our families go way back.
00:05:38Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:41My life, my choice.
00:05:42Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure-
00:05:45Enough!
00:05:46Oh, that's it.
00:05:47You'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 and date her properly, hmm?
00:05:59You'll refuse.
00:06:02Okay.
00:06:03Nurse, doctor, I'm checking out.
00:06:05My own grandson won't listen.
00:06:06What's the point?
00:06:07Okay.
00:06:07Let the heart attack take me now.
00:06:09Okay, alright.
00:06:10I'll go.
00:06:12I know when I pass, okay?
00:06:15For 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 and help them, please, for me.
00:06:33Fine.
00:06:35I'll do it.
00:06:37I hear you.
00:06:45For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked,
00:06:48using 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.
00:07:14So...
00:07:14Pathetic.
00:07:15I said you're fired.
00:07:16Get your shit and get the fuck out of my boat.
00:07:18I heard you.
00:07:20I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay, and then I'm gone.
00:07:23I said now!
00:07:24Or I'm gonna call security, and you're gonna drag your ass out.
00:07:27Suit yourself.
00:07:29Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:34Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:37You 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.
00:07:45And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:47You know what, Serena?
00:07:48Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:56You don't push your luck, Larry.
00:07:58The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the first place
00:08:01is 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 fund, entitled piece of shit baby.
00:08:11I mean, even your old Beyoncé is telling you to get lost.
00:08:14So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost
00:08:17before I fucking support mine?
00:08:26You broke it.
00:08:27You broke my teeth.
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 rate.
00:08:38Julian, that is enough.
00:08:39Disrupting proceedings, assault,
00:08:41destruction of property.
00:08:43As CEO of Harper Enterprise,
00:08:45I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:47Effective immediately.
00:08:49Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:51Serena, you broke my watch.
00:08:52The gift you got me for my birthday.
00:08:54He has to pay for it.
00:08:55Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:08:56Either pay up, or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:03Fine.
00:09:05I'll pay.
00:09:06Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:08What?
00:09:08One hundred thousand dollars.
00:09:09It's a million.
00:09:11A million for that.
00:09:12It's a gift from Serena.
00:09:13It's priceless.
00:09:15A million dollars being generous.
00:09:16You can fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:18A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:21He 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?
00:09:38And if so, you can crawl out of here,
00:09:40and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:44So what if you're Serena's fiance?
00:09:47Look at her now.
00:09:48She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:51A million dollars.
00:09:53That's the final offer?
00:09:55What do you mean?
00:10:00Hi, I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room
00:10:03at Harper headquarters.
00:10:19You just called for a million dollars in cash?
00:10:24Like a stakeout?
00:10:25What's next?
00:10:26A private army?
00:10:27All right, Julian.
00:10:28The charade ends now.
00:10:29Leave the company, and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:31But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:35We are done.
00:10:36You sure?
00:10:37Whoa, whoa.
00:10:38You heard that, Julian?
00:10:39You're a good guy.
00:10:40Engagement's over.
00:10:41Now get out before I-
00:10:42Bro, get your hands off me!
00:10:47Put your fucking hands on me.
00:10:49You know what?
00:10:50I'm gonna wipe that smug fucking look off your face!
00:10:56Enough!
00:11:01Mr. Brooks!
00:11:05That's David Brooks.
00:11:06President of Harvard View Bank.
00:11:07Where's a Wall Street Titan doing an accomplishment?
00:11:10Do 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.
00:11:17Mr. Clark.
00:11:18The one million.
00:11:20As requested.
00:11:40What?
00:11:44Mr. Brooks.
00:11:45Personally delivering cash?
00:11:47To Julian?
00:11:48Wait.
00:11:48The money is-
00:11:49It's real?
00:11:50Wait.
00:11:51No.
00:11:52Delivered by Mr. Brooks?
00:11:53I mean-
00:11:54Wait.
00:11:54Who are you?
00:11:58Much appreciated.
00:11:59You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:07Mr. Brooks!
00:12:08Sir.
00:12:09We are so honored by your visit.
00:12:12My grandfather, he speaks of you often.
00:12:14I'm sure he'd love to get a round of golf scheduled with me sometime.
00:12:18Mr. Clark.
00:12:20Is there anything else you require?
00:12:22My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:24No, thank you.
00:12:25You can go now.
00:12:26Of course.
00:12:34A company?
00:12:35Where executives throw chairs during a meeting?
00:12:38Unprofessional.
00:12:40I'm suspending the hundred million dollar deal.
00:12:42We'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision.
00:12:45Yes, sir.
00:12:46Mr. Brooks, I-
00:12:51Damien 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.
00:12:57This is all your fault, alright?
00:12:59You 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.
00:13:20Son of a bitch!
00:13:24I bet this is all the money that 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.
00:13:38But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:40Not that useless piece of junk.
00:13:41How much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:43Oh.
00:13:43I don't know, maybe about...
00:13:46A hundred million?
00:13:47A hundred million dollars!
00:13:52For a laptop?
00:13:53Have you lost your mind?
00:13:56A hundred million.
00:13:58For a laptop.
00:13:59Julian.
00:13:59The law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:03What you're committing 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?
00:14:13Ask conservatives.
00:14:14Enough!
00:14:16Julian.
00:14:17You know, I know you think you're right, but a Stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars.
00:14:24A hundred million dollars?
00:14:25I...
00:14:26Dream on.
00:14:27Sure.
00:14:28A standard Stellar isn't worth that much, but this isn't a standard, is it?
00:14:32What is it made of gold?
00:14:33Even 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!
00:14:48That's Billy Sullivan.
00:14:50SVP for Stellar.
00:14:51Here?
00:14:51You think it's about the $300 million partnership, dude?
00:14:54$300 million?
00:14:55That's huge for us, but pocket change for Stellar.
00:14:58Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:01Mr. Sullivan.
00:15:03What an unexpected honor.
00:15:04I'm Sabrina Harper, CEO.
00:15:06What do we owe the...
00:15:08Mr. Clark.
00:15:09The 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.
00:15:17Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian, too?
00:15:18Because his laptop impact triggered an alarm.
00:15:22Unbelievable.
00:15:23Mr. Clark, are you all right?
00:15:25Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:25It just took a fall.
00:15:28God.
00:15:29This damage is significant.
00:15:31With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate, this could be $30 million.
00:15:39$30 million?
00:15:41No, no, no, no.
00:15:41To fix a fucking laptop?
00:15:44That's impossible!
00:15:45There's no way!
00:15:45Are you questioning me?
00:15:47No, I just...
00:15:48I'll open your eyes.
00:15:49This 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.
00:15:58I 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 $70 million.
00:16:11That's $70 million?!
00:16:13Mr. Clark has the data on his laptop registered with monetary values to the security division.
00:16:19All 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 $100 million laptop?!
00:16:43Who exactly are you?
00:16:45You don't get to know.
00:16:47In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:49There's no way that there's a fucking laptop that costs $100 million!
00:16:53You know what?
00:16:54This is a fucking scam.
00:16:55These two, they're working together.
00:16:56I'm telling you, it's a con!
00:16:57Are you serious?
00:16:59I'm Blake Sullivan.
00:17:00I'm the Senior Vice President of Stellar.
00:17:02I don't fly across the city a scam and nobody like you.
00:17:05Listen, I'm so...
00:17:07Ms. Harper, this is the employee you hire.
00:17:10He's a fool.
00:17:11And it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:14Mr. Sullivan.
00:17:14Oh, by the way, our partnership deal?
00:17:17Consider it terminated.
00:17:18What?!
00:17:19Um, Mr. Sullivan, please.
00:17:22Damien is just...
00:17:23He's stressed.
00:17:24He didn't mean...
00:17:25Save it.
00:17:26You 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.
00:17:43He never lost.
00:17:44Damien can't fight this.
00:17:46Hell, the entire Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this.
00:17:50He's done for.
00:17:53Sir, name is hell.
00:17:54Please.
00:17:59Please.
00:18:03Mr. Sullivan, Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation.
00:18:07Will that suffice?
00:18:09I'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.
00:18:20In that case, we're done here.
00:18:23Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else.
00:18:27Mr. Sullivan, our Harper's...
00:18:28Ms. Harper, get your house in order first.
00:18:31Stellar has standards.
00:18:33We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:36That'll be all.
00:18:37Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:38Oh, that's funny.
00:18:39Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:41A hundred million on the line, and you swoop in to 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.
00:18:57He's right.
00:18:58Julianna, I give you my word.
00:19:00The full amount will be paid within three days, but under one condition.
00:19:04Our engagement ends for good, and you will leave Harper Enterprise.
00:19:09Now.
00:19:10You hear that, Julian?
00:19:12You know what?
00:19:13I'll admit it.
00:19:13Yeah, you got the money, but 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?
00:19:33Serena, I think it is actually time to call your grandfather.
00:19:35He could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:40Stop!
00:19:40Stop!
00:19:46This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper!
00:19:49Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:19:53Funny!
00:19:54Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill.
00:19:56Remind me, which one of us is the real boy toy?
00:20:01You...
00:20:11Get the fuck out!
00:20:13Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have.
00:20:16This is Harper Enterprise.
00:20:18I'm the one in charge here.
00:20:21Security, remove him.
00:20:25Julian, please, don'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?
00:20:38Who 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.
00:20:44The 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.
00:20:57Get him the fuck out of here.
00:21:03What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:06Stand down!
00:21:08All of you!
00:21:09You!
00:21:09Out of here!
00:21:10Now!
00:21:11Dad?
00:21:11Grandpa?
00:21:12What are you doing here?
00:21:18Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's going 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?
00:21:36Grandpa, 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!
00:21:52How dare you disrespect Julian!
00:21:55Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has.
00:21:58You can't just hit people!
00:21:59I wish we hit him more.
00:22:01Serena, do you even have any idea who Julian Clark is?
00:22:06We didn't tell you everything because of your ego.
00:22:08And I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:22:10We were going to announce everything once the engagement was formally set.
00:22:14But who knew?
00:22:15Serena, you've been blind.
00:22:18Julian is-
00:22:19Thomas, you can't force something that isn't there.
00:22:21No real feelings, no need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:24Julian, please understand, all of this is on us.
00:22:29Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harper family.
00:22:33Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:39Apologize to Julian, now!
00:22:41No!
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.
00:22:50But in reality, all you know is playing video games.
00:22:55I see right through you, and I will not apologize to you!
00:22:59Serena!
00:23:00Enough!
00:23:01Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:03Let me apologize.
00:23:04Say that.
00:23:05If Serena can't manage an apology herself, then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:12Okay.
00:23:13Issue my order.
00:23:14Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:17Cease every protective measure, effective immediately.
00:23:20Julian, please, don't.
00:23:22Without you, this place doesn't survive.
00:23:24Look!
00:23:31What?
00:23:33Oh, I guess you could just pull down orders.
00:23:35What do you mean?
00:23:36Hostile takeover.
00:23:37All of our investors pulled out.
00:23:39How can that be?
00:23:43Harper Enterprise stock plunges 30% in minutes, wiping out billions in market value.
00:23:49What?
00:23:50My entire division just stopped.
00:23:51We can't operate like this.
00:23:53A stunning reversal.
00:23:55Harper Enterprise's many allies withdraw their investments in an instant,
00:23:59leaving the group facing massive losses.
00:24:01Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:06Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:07Why did Harper Enterprises suddenly lose power?
00:24:11What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:14How is that possible?
00:24:16Are you attacking the company?
00:24:18No matter who is behind this, I, Sherita, will never bow down to you.
00:24:25Harper Enterprise will not yield to any market attacks.
00:24:28Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks.
00:24:30It's Harper.
00:24:31This isn't a race.
00:24:32Our major partners are terminating their contracts.
00:24:35And our own liquidity can't cover the gas.
00:24:37This continues.
00:24:39The stock will crash straight through the floor.
00:24:41What did you say?
00:24:43Damn it.
00:24:45How could that trash have such kind of power?
00:24:48Why 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!
00:25:02Serena, apologize.
00:25:05Serena.
00:25:16Serena.
00:25:16Serena, do not apologize.
00:25:18Harper Enterprises worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
00:25:21You really think we can't survive without him?
00:25:24Let's just get through this crisis and I swear I will make him pay for everything that he has done
00:25:28to you.
00:25:29Oh, fucking no!
00:25:30Oh!
00:25:32Oh!
00:25:32Oh!
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:34Oh!
00:25:38Oh!
00:25:39Damien!
00:25:40Damien!
00:25:41Damien!
00:25:41Damien!
00:25:42Stop!
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.
00:26:09Wait, you hate bullies who throw their weight around, right?
00:26:11What about this guy?
00:26:12What about him?
00:26:14He 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 hundred thousand dollar watch.
00:26:22Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:24Oh, I...
00:26:26But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:29Hey, 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.
00:26:51And listen to him and sing your praises, right?
00:26:55Who's that?
00:26:56Oh, let me guess.
00:26:58Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:02Just... ignore him.
00:27:04Is he still your fiancé?
00:27:07Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:10I just... I can't stand him.
00:27:13A 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.
00:27:23We'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, he was a key reason that we made it.
00:27:41If you had even half his talent, Julian,
00:27:44maybe I would have said yes to you once.
00:27:46But you don't.
00:27:50Damien was a key reason you made it.
00:27:52That's your story, right?
00:27:54What is so funny?
00:27:55I mean, I'm laughing at just how foolish you are.
00:27:59Do you know why, for the past six months, all 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, the banks rolled out a special fast track for you?
00:28:11Because Damien is brilliant.
00:28:13Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way.
00:28:16Damien? Brilliant?
00:28:18That was Julian.
00:28:20Julian is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together.
00:28:25Serena.
00:28:26No, that is impossible.
00:28:28I don't believe it.
00:28:38Hey.
00:28:40Eyes up, Serena.
00:28:41In the past six months, I've called in 47 separate connections and cleared a path for you.
00:28:45Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange.
00:28:48And you know, I 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.
00:28:56They've all been begging us behind the scenes?
00:28:58No wonder every project went so smoothly.
00:29:00Julian is the one with this kind of network.
00:29:02Damien's got some nerves stealing credit for something like this.
00:29:06That's a death wish.
00:29:10No, no, no. It's not true, huh?
00:29:12Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me and my hard work and my connections.
00:29:17Oh, you perigate fool.
00:29:20Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:29All right, that's enough.
00:29:31I finally got the all clear for my grandfather. I didn't 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, Harper 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?
00:30:00What?
00:30:01Prepare yourselves.
00:30:03Julian.
00:30:04Julian.
00:30:05Julian.
00:30:08Serena.
00:30:10You silly, foolish, foolish girl.
00:30:13Grandpa, I have never been clearer. With or without him, I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:19Serena's right. Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper, I'm going to stand by Serena's side and I'm going to give her everything
00:30:25that I've got.
00:30:27Crap. I'm going to beat the crap out of you once and for all.
00:30:31Dad, that is enough.
00:30:34Dad, Grandpa, I know you have your issues with Damien, but I believe he will prove himself to you and
00:30:41so 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?
00:31:39Don't you trust me clearly?
00:31:41He also spit 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.
00:32:09Word 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?
00:32:17Is that for your little love 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 bidding.
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?
00:33:03Damien?
00:33:03What 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, untraceable.
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.
00:33:22Oh my, Damien, you'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.
00:33:39Ms. Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway.
00:33:44Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:34:13Well, wow.
00:34:16Friends, Julian.
00:34:19All right, Serena kicked you out.
00:34:21Six months of hard work, down the drain.
00:34:25What does that feel?
00:34:27Oh, I see.
00:34:28So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit.
00:34:32Is that right?
00:34:32Of course.
00:34:34No, I'm kidding.
00:34:37I'm here to steal you.
00:34:39You see?
00:34:40Since 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.
00:34:54Our families will bear ourselves either way, so why pick a stranger when there's someone who actually knows you?
00:35:05You see?
00:35:07Childhood friends, same circles, 15 years of school.
00:35:14We match.
00:35:15We match.
00:35:15You know?
00:35:16We fit.
00:35:19Hang on.
00:35:20No, all right.
00:35:21Are you saying this because you're drunk or do you-
00:35:31I'm not drunk, okay?
00:35:33You don't have to answer me tonight.
00:35:35Just think about it.
00:35:38Hmm?
00:35:53I'm not drunk.
00:36:08I told you, I'm not drunk-
00:36:10All right.
00:36:11Your swimsuit come off.
00:36:13Oh, shit.
00:36:15I'm drunk.
00:36:17You can-
00:36:17Your swimsuit come off.
00:36:19Oh, shit.
00:36:20I'm drunk.
00:36:36Miss Lawson, Amber 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. If that jacket slips for you in a second, you're finished.
00:37:01Okay, aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines? Amber Group's CEO get caught in a scandal at a pool party?
00:37:06I'm not going to lose tomorrow's company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breasts go brown.
00:37:13Okay. Okay. But if you stay through to me like this for the rest of the night, I think my
00:37:24heart's going to skip out of its chest.
00:37:38And suffer. Okay? If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:50Please, just walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:08Speak of the devil, of all good times.
00:38:16You know, this is a private party for Amber Group's CEO. You know what I lost?
00:38:21Not exactly the kind of place where anybody could just wander into.
00:38:24Oh, wait.
00:38:28Well, well. I 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? This woman's even better 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 all take her.
00:38:57Is that so?
00:38:59You know, I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Crescent League 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.
00:39:14All right?
00:39:14And I'm going to win Crescent Lake for Serena.
00:39:17You, you're just going to fucking lose.
00:39:18I can 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.
00:39:43All right, come on.
00:39:44Let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:39:45Let's go socialize and maybe we'll run into the host of the party, Lossing herself.
00:39:50And if we do, I'll make sure we're going to go to brush.
00:40:11So that pretty boy Damien actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:16Tonight we're going to 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 if you like Lossing, I can do Lossing.
00:40:32Oh, can you?
00:40:33Yeah.
00:40:33You can do Lossing?
00:40:34Yeah.
00:40:35Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:43I'll let you get to it.
00:40:48Sally?
00:41:05Julie!
00:41:08I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:10You 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.
00:41:28I hear the Crescent Lake project is basically yours.
00:41:31Congratulations.
00:41:33Serena, you are the business queen of Wall Street, and with Damien backing you up, it's
00:41:38unstoppable.
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 going to take care of you guys.
00:41:43Thank you so much.
00:41:52See that, Julian?
00:41:52I mean, everybody already knows that Crescent Lake belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:56I suggest you walk out of here before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:41:59It'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, of course.
00:42:18I need to take this.
00:42:26Don't mind, Julian.
00:42:29What century are you living in?
00:42:32You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:35Then what does?
00:42:37I ain't really that fucking stupid.
00:42:39Of course this.
00:42:42I paid Mason Brooks one million in crypto.
00:42:45What do you have that's going to be there?
00:42:49You paid Mason Brooks?
00:42:51That's impossible.
00:42:52He wouldn't dare.
00:42:53That's impossible.
00:42:54He wouldn't dare.
00:42:55Yeah, you want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart.
00:42:58But hey, you're a very lovely, beautiful escort.
00:43:02Why don't you do us all a favor?
00:43:03Get up on that stage and give us a nice little poll show.
00:43:06Hey, hey, I'm going to tell you, you want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:13Because every time I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune,
00:43:18capital technology is useless.
00:43:22Fucking trash.
00:43:25Mason Brooks, you've got a lot in there.
00:43:28He's finished.
00:43:29Mr. Brooks is finished.
00:43:31Who the fuck is this?
00:43:33Who are you?
00:43:34What do you think?
00:43:35You're the Amber Group CEO or something?
00:43:38Who gave you the fucking guts?
00:43:40It's adorable, no?
00:43:41Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:43:45Anti-anti-corruption?
00:43:59What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:01Hmm?
00:44:04You hit me.
00:44:06You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:09I'm going to have Mason Brooks crush you with one phone call.
00:44:14There he is.
00:44:15Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:16You're finished.
00:44:19Mr. Brooks.
00:44:20I think you need my friend.
00:44:22There's a woman here.
00:44:23So she's going to report to you.
00:44:24Come on, please, teach her a lesson.
00:44:25Oh, report me?
00:44:27Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:29This woman right here.
00:44:33Miss Lawson?
00:44:34She's even quoted the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:37Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:39What?
00:44:40What?
00:44:43This can't be.
00:44:47Go ahead.
00:44:47Laugh.
00:44:48Laugh some more.
00:44:49Are you insane, Damien?
00:44:51You'll say anything out loud.
00:44:53Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:44:53She's just some gold-dicking whore.
00:44:55I mean, even if she rats you out, who's going to believe this?
00:44:59Why are you hitting me?
00:45:00Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:02When did I ever take your money?
00:45:04I never took one cent.
00:45:06Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:09Idiot.
00:45:09Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:12Miss Lawson, this Damien, he's a lunatic.
00:45:15He's making things up.
00:45:17Don't listen to him.
00:45:18I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:21Not once.
00:45:24Miss Lawson?
00:45:27No, no, no, wait.
00:45:28You're Nora Lawson, Amber's group CEO?
00:45:32How is that possible?
00:45:33How is that fucking-
00:45:33Mr. Brooks?
00:45:34Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:37Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:40We promise we won't let you down.
00:45:45Stop!
00:45:46Shut the fuck up!
00:45:47When did I ever give you anything?
00:45:51Miss Lawson?
00:45:52Miss Harper Enterprise people, they're all out of their minds.
00:45:56They lie like the wind.
00:45:58I can't believe a word they say.
00:46:00Miss Lawson?
00:46:02Miss Lawson?
00:46:05She's Nora Lawson?
00:46:09The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:11Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:13You can leave now.
00:46:17Miss Lawson, I am so sorry.
00:46:20Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being inappropriate.
00:46:27I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:30He is blunt, yes.
00:46:32But his ability is exceptional.
00:46:36Please, give Harper Enterprise the contract and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:46:42Exceptional ability?
00:46:44Are you sure about that?
00:46:46Of course.
00:46:47If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:46:52You're about to find out.
00:46:59Damien?
00:47:01What does she mean?
00:47:03Oh, shit.
00:47:04I can't let her find out.
00:47:06I secure every project right.
00:47:08So she's upset because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:10So she wants revenge.
00:47:12So she's going to embarrass Harper Enterprise in front of everyone.
00:47:15So what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:17Let's go.
00:47:18If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:23Even if Miss Lawson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:26Serena, please!
00:47:27Okay?
00:47:28I'm sorry.
00:47:29Here we go now.
00:47:31Alright, I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones.
00:47:32But we need to go now.
00:47:34Come on.
00:47:34What is wrong with you today?
00:47:36Are you hiding something from me?
00:47:51You want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart?
00:47:55Technology capital.
00:47:57Useless fucking trash.
00:47:59What?
00:48:00Shit, she actually recorded it?
00:48:02And escort.
00:48:03So why don't you do us all a nice little favor?
00:48:05Get up on the stage.
00:48:06You should give us a nice little poll show.
00:48:11Who is that?
00:48:12He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:15That's Damien Blackwell, Harper Enterprise's executive assistant.
00:48:18How do you not know him?
00:48:20All of the best Amber projects being sent to Harper Enterprise's over the past six months.
00:48:24And now we know they were bought.
00:48:28That's not true.
00:48:29All of that's a lie.
00:48:31Just don't believe it.
00:48:32Just turn it up.
00:48:33Turn it up right now!
00:48:34Stop him!
00:48:36Let go of me!
00:48:39Damien, you did this behind my back?
00:48:41This is your talent?
00:48:42Your ability?
00:48:44Yes, you're mean, please just see us.
00:48:46Mr. Brooks' assistant.
00:48:48What a fucking ridiculous thing to say.
00:48:49Who are you to say anything?
00:48:51What do you think?
00:48:52You're Amber Group CEO?
00:48:53Amber.
00:48:55Turn it off, please.
00:48:57It's okay?
00:48:58Okay, Miss Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:48:59Just, please stop it!
00:49:01Please!
00:49:01Please!
00:49:03Bribery is one thing, but mistaking Miss Lawson for an escort?
00:49:07A whore?
00:49:09He's fucking blind.
00:49:10The best part?
00:49:11He confessed right in front of her that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:15Genius.
00:49:16And Serena trusted him to be her assistant?
00:49:19I mean, what does that say about her judgment?
00:49:22Damien, you have disappointed me beyond words.
00:49:25Serena, I did it because I cared about you.
00:49:27Because I care about Harper Enterprise.
00:49:29Please, I'm happy.
00:49:30You told me the truth.
00:49:31Enough.
00:49:33Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:34Mason Brooks, you're fired.
00:49:37Effective immediately.
00:49:39I'm done.
00:49:41The Crescent Lake Project.
00:49:44Harper Enterprise is disqualified.
00:49:47Every single project Amber Group has done together with them will be suspended.
00:49:52The projects will be back for competitive bidding.
00:49:56No, no, you can't do that.
00:49:59Those projects are our next three years.
00:50:01They affect thousands of employees, their lives, their future.
00:50:05And why am I the person who hired Trash and called it talent?
00:50:10Real talent.
00:50:17Pathetic.
00:50:22Serena.
00:50:25Please, you gotta let me explain.
00:50:28Miss Lawson, wait.
00:50:30Serena!
00:50:39I just avenged you in front of a lot of people.
00:50:42Asking for dinner isn't too much, right?
00:50:44Not at all.
00:50:46You pick.
00:50:47My treat.
00:50:48Generous.
00:50:49Let's go.
00:50:50Time to rob the tycoon.
00:50:54Miss Lawson.
00:50:56Damien was wrong to bribe anyone.
00:50:59And I apologize on his behalf.
00:51:02Just please, give Harper Enterprise another chance.
00:51:07I will meet the highest standards.
00:51:09I will deliver a perfect result on every project.
00:51:12Perfect result?
00:51:14And what exactly guarantees that?
00:51:16Your empty suit assistant?
00:51:19Miss Lawson.
00:51:21Damien made a mistake.
00:51:23But his ability is exceptional.
00:51:27For six months, he managed every Harper Enterprise project flawlessly.
00:51:31No errors, no delays.
00:51:33If you don't pull this contract, I guarantee he will make sure you see his value.
00:51:41Managed flawlessly?
00:51:43He's not the only empty suit here.
00:51:46Year or two.
00:51:47Miss 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.
00:51:58But humiliating someone like this, isn't that a little cruel?
00:52:02You really think I froze our cooperation because Damien, right?
00:52:06Mason?
00:52:07Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:09For six months, Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted from Ember Group.
00:52:16For one reason.
00:52:18Julian Clark.
00:52:20Damien has nothing to do with that.
00:52:23He was just a messenger boy who picked up the contracts.
00:52:27What?
00:52:28When Julian was there, bribe or no bribe, Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:33But now, Julian's gone, so the special treatment is gone.
00:52:39Damien's little arriving incident, it was just a convenient excuse to take everything back.
00:52:44Understand now?
00:52:49And about those flawless projects, Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly because Damien is brilliant.
00:52:56It ran smoothly because Julian called every partner, every supplier, every gatekeeper and cleared the path for you.
00:53:05Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:10No.
00:53:12That's not true.
00:53:13I don't believe it.
00:53:14You don't believe me?
00:53:16Then watch.
00:53:17Watch what happens when Julian leaves.
00:53:21Let's see if your exceptional Damien can keep everything perfect when Julian is not there to hold the world together
00:53:28for you.
00:53:30Come on, let's go.
00:53:38Julian, is what she's saying true?
00:53:42You were right about one thing, Serena.
00:53:44Julian and I are closer than you thought.
00:53:47That's why it disgusts me watching him waste his life away on a selfish and blind woman like you.
00:53:58Was I wrong?
00:53:59No, no, no, Serena, Serena.
00:54:00Do not listen to her nonsense.
00:54:02Harper's success is based off of my hard work.
00:54:06Okay, Nora Lawson, she's attacking and slandering my name to defend Julian.
00:54:11You have to believe me.
00:54:12Please, you have to understand.
00:54:13Because of you, Crescent Lake is gone.
00:54:17Every Amber project is gone.
00:54:19Harper Enterprise is on the edge of collapse and you're asking me to trust you?
00:54:24How?
00:54:25Tell me how.
00:54:27Please, just listen to me.
00:54:29Okay, yeah, we lost Amber group, but we're not finished.
00:54:32I mean, we still have the partners and the CEOs.
00:54:34I mean, they love me.
00:54:35They absolutely love and adore me.
00:54:38I promise.
00:54:38You know what?
00:54:39Matter of fact, I'm going to call and I'm going to get you some new projects right now.
00:54:46Hello, Mr. Foster.
00:54:47It's Damien here.
00:54:48I hear the Grandview Plaza is taking bids and Harper Enterprise, you know, we would absolutely
00:54:53love.
00:54:54Harper Enterprise?
00:54:55Who the hell is that?
00:54:56Do you think you're even in the same league as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:00Uh, Mr. Foster, what do you mean?
00:55:04I, last time we spoke, you said that you believed in the Harper Enterprise and that you would love
00:55:09to work together.
00:55:10Listen up.
00:55:11That's because Julian Clark was in your damn enterprise.
00:55:14I was giving him respect.
00:55:16You, don't flatter yourself, bunch of blind dumbasses.
00:55:21Call me again and I'll block your fucking number.
00:55:24So what really was Julian?
00:55:25No, no, that's, that's not possible.
00:55:28I, I, I don't, I don't believe that.
00:55:29I don't.
00:55:30Hello, Mr. Parker.
00:55:31It's Damien.
00:55:32I was hoping to talk about future collaborations.
00:55:34Damien, you've got the fucking nerve to call me.
00:55:38I gave Harper Enterprise projects because of Mr. Clark.
00:55:41And then you turned around and claimed you closed the deal.
00:55:45Who gave you the audacity?
00:55:47Shameless trash.
00:55:51It's Parker.
00:55:53It's Parker.
00:55:54No, no, God damn it.
00:55:56No, I, I don't believe this.
00:55:58I don't believe this fucking Julian this whole fucking time.
00:56:01God damn it.
00:56:03Sorry, sorry.
00:56:05Hello?
00:56:06Mr. Turner, it's Damien.
00:56:08Damien, who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:10Calling me directly?
00:56:12Learn some manners.
00:56:15Julian was polite enough to tolerate you playing sideman with his fiance.
00:56:18I'm not, you bastard too.
00:56:22Mr. Turner?
00:56:24Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:28What the fuck is happening?
00:56:36Miss Harper?
00:56:37This is bad.
00:56:38Our partners are flooding us with messages.
00:56:41They're suspending contracts, pulling out a deal.
00:56:43Wait, what is happening?
00:56:45They said before they only worked with Harper Enterprise because Julian Clark backed us.
00:56:49Now that he's gone, they don't trust us with their project.
00:56:53Julian.
00:56:55It's Julian again.
00:56:59It's nuts.
00:57:00It's true.
00:57:02They only gave us deals because of Julian.
00:57:06Julian!
00:57:07No, no, no, no, no.
00:57:07Serena, please, okay?
00:57:09They're just saying that because Julian has been paying them off.
00:57:12Think about it, okay?
00:57:13You know what?
00:57:13Just give you some time and I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:16I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:17I swear.
00:57:17Get away from me!
00:57:20You liar, you pride, Damien.
00:57:23All those CEOs, they only had you pick up contracts from them.
00:57:28And you told me you negotiated the deals.
00:57:31I swear, I didn't know that they would.
00:57:36Get out of my sight.
00:57:39Now!
00:57:56Walk!
00:57:58Damn it!
00:57:58No!
00:57:59I was this close to locking Serena down, stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:02I'm not letting it end like this.
00:58:09Serena, you really thought you were smart.
00:58:13But you're really just pathetic trash.
00:58:18Without Julian, you're nothing.
00:58:30Dad warned you.
00:58:32Grandpa warned you.
00:58:34And you still wouldn't listen.
00:58:39You ignored everything Julian did and worshipped a con artist like Damien.
00:58:48Stupid.
00:58:57And now look at you.
00:58:59Projects gone.
00:59:03Company collapsing.
00:59:07Idiot.
00:59:08Arrogant.
00:59:09Stupid.
00:59:11Idiot.
00:59:13I'm so stupid.
00:59:19Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:22I'm sorry.
00:59:27I know, I know, I know, I'm as well.
00:59:46I'm sorry.
00:59:47Always damn Julian!
00:59:50Julian.
00:59:53Come back, okay?
00:59:55Please come back.
01:00:01Damn back.
01:00:06You don't have to be scared
01:00:09Harper Enterprise is business, Queen
01:00:11So much better than those cheap girls
01:00:13Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine
01:00:19Damien! You sick bastard!
01:00:22You sick bastard!
01:00:26Sweetheart, you really mean it
01:00:28I love you
01:00:30You fucking...
01:00:31Hey, I'm telling you the truth!
01:00:33I mean it!
01:00:34Okay?
01:00:34I promise
01:00:35I'll trade you well
01:00:40You fucking monster!
01:00:41Get off me, please!
01:00:43I'm begging you, don't!
01:00:45Say yes
01:00:47What did I do?
01:00:55I tried being nice to you
01:00:56I fucking tried!
01:00:58But you keep fighting me back!
01:00:59Help!
01:01:00Help!
01:01:01Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:02Keep fucking screaming!
01:01:04Right?
01:01:05You're not gonna say no
01:01:08I'm gonna fuck you
01:01:09Help!
01:01:11Help!
01:01:13Help!
01:01:13Help!
01:01:13Help!
01:01:14Julian, help!
01:01:18Get him out of here!
01:01:19Stop!
01:01:20Let me go!
01:01:22Julian, you know this one in the fucking lines
01:01:23This isn't over
01:01:33We are not that close
01:01:36I was just passing through
01:01:38I heard some screaming
01:01:39So I stopped by to check
01:01:41You
01:01:41I want you to call the Harper family
01:01:43Tell them to come pick her up
01:01:45Yes, sir
01:01:47Julian
01:01:49I am sorry
01:01:50I know I was wrong
01:01:52Just
01:01:55Please come back
01:01:56Julian!
01:01:57Our reservation is in 10 minutes
01:01:59Let's go
01:02:08Serena
01:02:09I told you
01:02:11Over and over and over again
01:02:16That Damien was not a good man
01:02:19And you refused to listen
01:02:22And Julian
01:02:23If Julian doesn't come along
01:02:25Just at the right time
01:02:27Oh my god
01:02:29I can't even
01:02:30I can't even think about it
01:02:31If you don't do something about that stubborn pride of yours
01:02:34One day
01:02:36You live to regret it
01:02:38Dad, Grandpa, please
01:02:39Stop
01:02:40I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:43I'll
01:02:44I'll apologize
01:02:46To Julian
01:02:47And
01:02:48I will follow through with the engagement
01:02:51The problem with that is that
01:02:53You may feel that way
01:02:54But Julian might not
01:02:57Grandpa
01:02:59Don't worry
01:03:01I
01:03:01I will apologize properly
01:03:03And I will earn his forgiveness
01:03:07That's all we can do
01:03:10So, John
01:03:11Put out a citywide bolo
01:03:13On that
01:03:15Bastard Damien
01:03:16He put his hands on my granddaughter
01:03:19We're not letting that go
01:03:21No
01:03:22We're not
01:03:23Understood
01:03:25Good
01:03:25It's good
01:03:25Good
01:03:25Good
01:03:37Good
01:03:38Good
01:03:39taylor
01:03:45Good
01:03:47Good
01:03:48Good
01:03:53Good
01:03:55Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:02What is this supposed to be?
01:04:05A gift for you.
01:04:07Myself.
01:04:09I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:11Every group backs you up.
01:04:13No questions asked.
01:04:15But first, you have to accept the gift.
01:04:19Not really.
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 and any man would have, you know,
01:04:41housed me by now.
01:04:43Then tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:46Hung up?
01:04:48Why would I be hung up on Serena?
01:04:50She and I were never romantic.
01:04:52No, it's just a business marriage between two families.
01:04:57Things are moving too fast.
01:04:59The other thing twice.
01:05:01But I don't have time.
01:05:03My family is preparing to send me off into a European alliance.
01:05:08Some old money, perfect match they can show off at Wallace.
01:05:13Wait, what are you talking about? Are you serious?
01:05:15Yes, Julian.
01:05:17My uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of
01:05:22me permanently.
01:05:22But I don't want a stranger.
01:05:24I want you.
01:05:25I love you.
01:05:29Julian, let's make it official.
01:05:32Let's get married.
01:05:35You know, if you'll marry me, my family won't dare object.
01:05:42Please, Julian.
01:05:53Okay.
01:05:55I'll marry you.
01:05:57Are you serious?
01:05:58No take backs.
01:06:00No take backs.
01:06:01Ever.
01:06:01Ever.
01:06:02I knew you wouldn't abandon me, but can you help me out?
01:06:08Um, my hands aren't getting hurt.
01:06:12So impatient.
01:06:16It's like you said.
01:06:18If I accept the gift, then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:28That'd be gentle.
01:06:37Julian, you didn't forget what you promised 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, you kind of remember that for the
01:06:52rest of your life.
01:06:53Details.
01:06:54Those are just tiny details.
01:06:59You look like big details to me.
01:07:05Julian, can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:08Serena, I really don't think there's anything we need to discuss.
01:07:11Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:12I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:14I misjudged everything.
01:07:16Please, just give me one more chance and I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:20And if you take me back, just tell me what you want.
01:07:23I'll do anything.
01:07:24I'm sorry.
01:07:25I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:30Boyfriend?
01:07:36Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:07:39Well, 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.
01:07:48So tell me, what exactly are you proud of?
01:07:52Hmm?
01:07:54Men like him?
01:07:56If you treat him like trash, someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:08:01Listen carefully.
01:08:02We are all together now, so better keep your distance.
01:08:05If you don't, I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:11Come on.
01:08:12We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:15Let's not be late.
01:08:16Wedding outfits.
01:08:19Let's go.
01:08:25Let's go.
01:08:31Let's go.
01:08:34So how did it go?
01:08:36Julian?
01:08:36He's with Nora.
01:08:42Nora.
01:08:44Nora.
01:08:45Nora Lawson.
01:08:45CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:47Of course.
01:08:49You know, Serena, it's an elite like Julian.
01:08:53The second you let go, somebody 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.
01:09:03God, forgive the Harpers.
01:09:06Please.
01:09:08Ms. Harper, Finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:12Harper Enterprise's cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:15If we don't act immediately, we won't even have enough to make payroll this month.
01:09:21Great.
01:09:22Now all of Wall Street knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:26Who is he going to lend to us now?
01:09:27How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:29This is my fault, okay?
01:09:32I was blind.
01:09:33Are you proud now?
01:09:36I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:09:40I didn't realize that Julian was running everything.
01:09:44And the moment he's gone, I can't do anything.
01:09:48Dad, Grandpa, I'm so sorry.
01:09:52I ruined Harper Enterprise.
01:09:54I ruined everything.
01:09:57Dad, you're the one who arranged the engagement with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:02So maybe you should go talk to him and see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:07Yes, Grandpa.
01:10:08Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:11If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:14The Clark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:17Yes.
01:10:18They honored our engagement.
01:10:21And that was a mercy.
01:10:23That was a blessing.
01:10:25But you threw it away.
01:10:29Still.
01:10:31For your sake and for your future.
01:10:33And for our future.
01:10:36We'll fight.
01:10:43Serena.
01:10:45When you see Julian's grandfather, your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:52If he forgives you, only then will you know that you have a chance to get Julian back.
01:10:59Understood, Grandpa.
01:11:01For the Harper family, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:19Welcome!
01:11:20You must be here for Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:25Perfect timing.
01:11:26They're just about to start.
01:11:28Engagement party?
01:11:30So they're really engaged?
01:11:33Wait, how is this all happening so fast?
01:11:37What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:39Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson have known each other since they were born.
01:11:43And everyone is so happy that they're finally getting married.
01:11:46Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:49You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:11:52Then, please leave.
01:11:55Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:12:02If there's an engagement party, that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:11And that means we're done.
01:12:13There's no more chances left.
01:12:16We're leaving.
01:12:18Is this my punishment?
01:12:21All right, everyone.
01:12:23Big smiles.
01:12:27Woo!
01:12:34Sure, sure, sure.
01:12:37Julian!
01:12:40Julian!
01:12:41Are you okay?
01:12:43Hey.
01:12:49What is it?
01:12:50It's nothing.
01:12:51Come on.
01:12:52Dinner's almost ready.
01:13:06Dad!
01:13:08The Harpers!
01:13:09My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:14For him.
01:13:16For six months at Harper Enterprise.
01:13:19It was a total humiliation.
01:13:23We've shown that Harper had more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:28Understood, Dad.
01:13:37Okay, enough, Serena.
01:13:38Stop.
01:13:39You can't drink this away.
01:13:41Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:13:44If you don't get up, it's over.
01:13:48Just leave me the fuck alone.
01:13:50Okay?
01:13:51Just let me drink.
01:13:52I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:54I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:13:56No, you-
01:13:59All right, I've got to take this.
01:14:01Don't move.
01:14:02I'll be right back, and then I am taking you home.
01:14:14Maura.
01:14:17Okay, Maura.
01:14:18Be honest.
01:14:19You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:22You just got engaged, and you're getting married next week?
01:14:27Let's see.
01:14:27You've known Julian for 20-plus years.
01:14:30You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:14:32I've liked Julian for 20 years, and I finally got him to say yes.
01:14:37You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:14:39Lock it down from what?
01:14:40From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:14:42They're collapsing and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:14:46I have to move fast.
01:14:48If they start begging, what if Julian hesitates?
01:14:54But 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,
01:15:07and it wasn't just because his grandfather were ordering.
01:15:10Then why?
01:15:13Because Serena is his type.
01:15:17Wait, what?
01:15:20I am Julian's type?
01:15:24No way!
01:15:26I'm serious.
01:15:27The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:15:30That exact type.
01:15:32I mean, with his personality, even if his grandfather forced him,
01:15:37he would have stayed there for three days max and then vanished.
01:15:39He would not stay there and take six months of humiliation if he didn't want it.
01:15:46That's Julian Clark.
01:15:48So that's why?
01:15:50Serena must have destroyed him.
01:15:52I have to get married, fast.
01:15:54I cannot give her a single chance.
01:15:57So that's what it was.
01:15:59Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months because I'm his type.
01:16:03He likes me.
01:16:04That means I still have a chance.
01:16:06I still have a chance.
01:16:08This is my last shot.
01:16:10I am not wasting it.
01:16:18Where is she?
01:16:25Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:42Wow.
01:16:43They look perfect together.
01:16:45They're childhood sweethearts, the whole fantasy.
01:16:47Oh my god, brilliant.
01:16:51And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:06Wait!
01:17:12Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:16Julian...
01:17:16Who is that?
01:17:17Is that Serena Harper?
01:17:19CEO of Harper Enterprise?
01:17:20You mean the woman who rode on Julian's back to the IPO
01:17:23and then kicked him out like he was nothing?
01:17:26Without Julian, Harper Enterprise is basically bankrupt.
01:17:30Pathetic.
01:17:31Wait!
01:17:32Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:37Julian...
01:17:38I know you like me.
01:17:40You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:49I know.
01:17:50I was wrong.
01:17:51Totally wrong, okay?
01:17:52Just please, give me another chance.
01:17:58Our engagement is over.
01:18:00In fact, you were the one that called it off.
01:18:04Look, this is my wedding.
01:18:06Have some dignity.
01:18:06In fact, can we get her out of here, please?
01:18:09No, please.
01:18:10I'll do anything.
01:18:11Just stop.
01:18:16I know you hate me because I rejected you 37 times, but I'll make it up to you.
01:18:24I'll chase you 37 times, 370 times, whatever it did.
01:18:30Can we please get her out?
01:18:31No, don't touch me.
01:18:33Julia, what do you want from me?
01:18:35Julia, I know you like me, so why won't you give me another chance?
01:18:39Why?
01:18:44Simple question.
01:18:46Do you love me?
01:18:49I...
01:18:50Exactly.
01:18:51You don't.
01:18:52You didn't realize you made a mistake.
01:18:54You realized that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:18:57See, what you want is not a chance, but a tool.
01:19:01You want me back so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:06No, that, that, that's not true.
01:19:10Just please, listen, please, listen.
01:19:13Enough, Serena.
01:19:14When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise, do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:19Let me ask you this.
01:19:21If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed, if your value kept climbing, would you still be here standing in front of
01:19:27me today?
01:19:30I...
01:19:30No, no, you wouldn't.
01:19:32You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:33You'd be celebrating.
01:19:35You'd say that you earned the business queen a crown.
01:19:38You'd be mocking me, calling me pathetic.
01:19:40You'd say that firing me was the best decision you ever made.
01:19:43Plus, you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:19:45No.
01:19:47No, Julian, that, that's not me.
01:19:50Just admit it, Serena.
01:19:52You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:54But on my wedding day, you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:19:57Why?
01:19:58Because you want me back as your lifeline.
01:20:01Your donor.
01:20:02Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:04But the moment I stop being useful, you will kick me away again without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:09No.
01:20:11No, Julian.
01:20:13That is not true tonight.
01:20:15That you saved me from Damien.
01:20:18I...
01:20:19I felt something for you.
01:20:21I did.
01:20:22Stop.
01:20:23Do not perform at my wedding.
01:20:25You don't regret hurting me.
01:20:27You 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.
01:20:37But once I got to know you, once I realized what you really are, all I felt was disgust.
01:20:45But Nora, she has cared for me since we were kids.
01:20:53When I was sick, she stayed up all night taking care of me.
01:20:57When 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.
01:21:14Why would I give up all that for you?
01:21:19What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:25Get her out.
01:21:26No, no.
01:21:27No, please don't, Julian.
01:21:29Don't, don't.
01:21:30I'm begging you.
01:21:31Just please let me explain.
01:21:33Please.
01:21:34Please.
01:21:34Please.
01:21:35Stop.
01:21:36Let me go.
01:21:37Julian, please don't do it.
01:21:39Crashing a wedding like that?
01:21:40I thought she actually loved him.
01:21:42Turns out, she just realized, without Julian, she can't stay on top.
01:21:47She used Julian's feelings like a weapon.
01:21:49Totally vampire-drained him dry.
01:22:21Mr. Clark!
01:22:39I'm sure you've all heard.
01:22:41Harper Enterprise, affected today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:45So, we're all being terminated.
01:22:48What?
01:22:49Oh, Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:22:53I've given this company 15 years.
01:22:55You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:22:5815 years, wow.
01:22:59Congratulations.
01:23:00You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead, you've turned it into a soup.
01:23:06You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:10I've seen how you all work.
01:23:11How you got here?
01:23:12What?
01:23:13What?
01:23:16Yeah.
01:23:18What?
01:23:20What?
01:23:22You're going to send them?
01:23:28A little bit?
01:23:30Why are you trying to bring you into the building?
01:23:33What?
01:23:34What?
01:23:34What?
01:23:35This is it!
01:23:50Are you satisfied now?
01:23:52Satisfied? Thomas went to my grandfather.
01:23:56He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:24:00I saved you.
01:24:04Julian!
01:24:07If I didn't treat you the way I did, would any of this be different?
01:24:20Julian, why don't you get thrown away and still land something better?
01:24:23I spent my whole life climbing upwards and now I'm stuck at the bottom, hunted by cops. I won't accept
01:24:29it!
01:24:30Julian, watch out!
01:24:32Julian!
01:24:37Let me go! Fucking let me go!
01:24:38I already spared you. You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:42Yo, take him to the police. Get the best of all your money can buy. I want him to rot
01:24:45in jail.
