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 ARC situation.
00:00:23I need you to buy the stock, all right?
00:00:26You gotta do it now.
00:00:28This isn't some random dip.
00:00:29Whoever'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 laughingstock of Wall Street.
00:00:35No, 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.
00:00:54Give me a sec.
00:01:00Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:03Good, good, yeah.
00:01:05I just need to ask for a little favor.
00:01:12Julian, you saved my ass last time.
00:01:14I owe you.
00:01:15I'm moving liquidity to Harper now.
00:01:19Right.
00:01:23The 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?
00:01:33Julian, Damien's assistant called.
00:01:36Called in all hands.
00:01:37All department leads.
00:01:38Conference room in ten minutes.
00:01:39Chairman's orders.
00:01:41Why would Damien call in the meeting?
00:01:43He despises you.
00:01:45Watch your back.
00:02:14Today, Damien successfully neutralized the short attack against Harper
00:02:18and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:21Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:29Since when does Damien own household takeover from a hole in the ground?
00:02:32He must have stole this wing 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 this pool of Serena to get him fired.
00:02:48Hello?
00:02:49Is 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 could do.
00:02:56Damien.
00:02:59Questions?
00:03:01Questions?
00:03:02I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:10Julian.
00:03:11Our company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:16Keep sharing.
00:03:17I'm listening.
00:03:21This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:25Wait, I'm sorry everyone.
00:03:27I forgot.
00:03:29You're just the resident good for nothing.
00:03:31My strategies, you probably couldn't comprehend them, let alone ask a decent goddamn question.
00:03:39Well, since you're so keen on getting my contribution, we'll start with a question.
00:03:45Which funds were behind the short attack?
00:03:47And what was their distinct objective?
00:03:48And what specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:51It doesn't matter.
00:03:52What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:53You can't even name the enemy?
00:03:55All right, fine.
00:03:56Next question.
00:03:58Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights?
00:04:00And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:03Well, well, well, yeah, well.
00:04:10Well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:12All right.
00:04:13So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room,
00:04:15the countermeasures for a potential proxy fight, or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:23Let's be real.
00:04:25You are nothing but a glory hound who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees for real.
00:04:40You, a useless game-addicted fucking loser, dare to question me?
00:04:45You know what, Clark?
00:04:46You're fucking fired!
00:04:48Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:59You hear that, Dad?
00:05:01I guess the verdict is get the fuck out.
00:05:06Understood.
00:05:08Now, the hearing's not enough.
00:05:09I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company now.
00:05:17You took our family's market cap and raised it to three trillion dollars.
00:05:23You proved everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:25Now, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:28Harper's, uh, old friends, good staff, you know?
00:05:32Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper.
00:05:35What you're talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:37Your feelings could grow, brat.
00:05:39Our families go way better.
00:05:41Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:44My life, my choice.
00:05:46But when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that-
00:05:48Enough!
00:05:49That's it.
00:05:50You're going to do this.
00:05:52I've already arranged everything.
00:05:53You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:56Go work with Serena and date her properly, hmm?
00:06:03You'll refuse.
00:06:05Okay.
00:06:06Nurse, Dr. Ann, check it out.
00:06:08My own grandson won't listen.
00:06:10What's the point?
00:06:10Okay.
00:06:11Let the heart attack take me now.
00:06:12Okay, all right.
00:06:13I'll go.
00:06:15I know we're masking.
00:06:18For years, you've carried this family on your back.
00:06:22We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:24The Harper's, they're in trouble.
00:06:26We do not abandon our own.
00:06:29Use that brilliant head of yours and help them, please, for me.
00:06:37All right.
00:06:38I'll do it.
00:06:40I hear you.
00:06:48For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked, using every resource, every contact to help her.
00:06:54I pulled Harper Enterprises from the brink of bankruptcy and made it soar.
00:06:57I made Serena Harper the queen of the city's business world.
00:07:00And for what?
00:07:02So she could give my triumphs and victories to that sycophant, Damien?
00:07:06It's time to come home.
00:07:14You asked for my opinion, and you couldn't handle it.
00:07:17So, pathetic.
00:07:18I said you're fired.
00:07:20Get your shit and get the fuck out of my door.
00:07:22I heard you.
00:07:23I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay, and then I'm gone.
00:07:27I said now, or I'm going to call security and you're going to drag your ass out.
00:07:30Suit yourself.
00:07:33Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:37Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:40You will leave.
00:07:41Now, do not disrupt this company any further.
00:07:45Serena, is that really the best play you want to make here?
00:07:47I will not repeat it, and do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:51You know what, Serena?
00:07:52Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:08:00You don't push your luck, Clark.
00:08:02The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the first place
00:08:04is because of your dusty fucking engagement to Serena.
00:08:07And you have the audacity to act all high and mighty?
00:08:10You're fucking nothing.
00:08:12You're a little trust-spun, entitled piece of shit baby.
00:08:16I mean, even your Beyoncé is telling you to get lost.
00:08:18So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost
00:08:20before I fucking report on it?
00:08:29You broke it.
00:08:31You broke my petite.
00:08:32You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole?
00:08:34A hundred thousand dollars!
00:08:38We lost your balance.
00:08:41Maybe work on your coursework.
00:08:42Julian, that is enough.
00:08:43Disrupting proceedings?
00:08:45Assault?
00:08:46Destruction of property?
00:08:47As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:51Effective immediately.
00:08:53Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:55Serena, he broke my watch.
00:08:56The gift you got me for my birthday, he has to pay for it.
00:08:59Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:09:00Either pay up or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:07Fine.
00:09:09I'll pay.
00:09:10Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:12What, one hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:13It's a million.
00:09:15A million for that.
00:09:16It's a gift from Serena.
00:09:17It's priceless.
00:09:18A million dollars being generous.
00:09:20You could fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:22A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:25He does have a point card.
00:09:26You break it, you buy it.
00:09:28That's the rule.
00:09:29Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:37Well, you're gonna wire me the money?
00:09:40Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:42And if so, you can crawl out of here, and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:48So what if you're Serena's fiancee?
00:09:51Look at her now.
00:09:52She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:55A million dollars.
00:09:57That's the final offer?
00:09:59What do you mean?
00:10:04Hi, I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:19I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:25You just called for a million dollars in cash, like a stakeout?
00:10:29What's next?
00:10:30A private army?
00:10:32All right, Julian, the charade ends now.
00:10:33Leave the company, and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:36But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:39We are done.
00:10:41You sure?
00:10:42Whoa, whoa.
00:10:43You heard that, Julian?
00:10:44Your engagement's over.
00:10:45Now get out before I-
00:10:47Bro, get your hands off me!
00:10:52Put your fucking hands on me.
00:10:54You know what?
00:10:54I'm gonna wipe that smug-
00:10:56FUCKING LOOK OFF YOUR FACE!
00:11:01Enough!
00:11:06Mr. Brooks!
00:11:09That's David Brooks, president of Harborview Bank.
00:11:12What's a Wall Street titan doing on a conference room?
00:11:14Do you think it has to do with the hundred million loan?
00:11:16It can't be.
00:11:17That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:22Mr. Clark, the one million as requested.
00:11:33I'm shaking, I'm broken, we stand tall.
00:11:45What?
00:11:46What?
00:11:48Mr. Brooks, personally delivering cash to Julian?
00:11:53Wait, the money is, it's real?
00:11:55Wait, delivered by Mr. Brooks?
00:11:57I mean, wait, who are you?
00:12:03Much appreciated.
00:12:04You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:12Mr. Brooks, sir, we are so honored by your visit.
00:12:17My grandfather, he speaks of you often.
00:12:19I'm sure he'd love to get a round of golf scheduled with me sometime.
00:12:23Mr. Clark, is there anything else you require?
00:12:27My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:29No, thank you, you can go down.
00:12:31Of course.
00:12:39A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting?
00:12:44Unprofessional.
00:12:45I'm suspending the hundred million dollar deal.
00:12:47We'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision.
00:12:50Yes, sir.
00:12:52Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:56Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:57Let's see him explain this to the chairman.
00:12:59The chairman will have his head.
00:13:02This is all your fault, all right?
00:13:04You gotta fix this.
00:13:05You call him back here and get that loan reinstated,
00:13:07or I swear, I'm gonna...
00:13:08You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:11As for us...
00:13:14One million, in full, which makes this watch...
00:13:22It's mine.
00:13:23You arrogant.
00:13:25Son of a bitch!
00:13:30I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it?
00:13:31I bet you ought to sell your house to scrape this together, you fucking loser.
00:13:39But it's all mine now.
00:13:41Yeah, sure, the debt for the watch is settled.
00:13:43But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:45That useless piece of junk, how much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:48Oh, I don't know, maybe about...
00:13:51100 million?
00:13:52A hundred million dollars!
00:13:57For a laptop? Have you lost your mind?
00:14:01A hundred million.
00:14:03For a laptop.
00:14:05Julian.
00:14:05The law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:09What's your committing is extortion?
00:14:11That's illegal!
00:14:12So, him extorting me for a million was legal then, right?
00:14:15By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago?
00:14:18Huh?
00:14:19That's a concern.
00:14:20Enough!
00:14:21Julian.
00:14:23You know, I know you think you're right, but a stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars?
00:14:29A hundred million dollars?
00:14:31I...
00:14:32Dream on.
00:14:33Sure, a standard stellar isn't worth that much, but this isn't a standard.
00:14:37What is it, made of gold?
00:14:38Even then, it's still going to cost a hundred million fucking dollars.
00:14:42You know what?
00:14:43You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:52Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:54That's Bill Sullivan, SVP for stellar.
00:14:57Here?
00:14:57You think it's about the 300 million dollar partnership deal?
00:15:00300 million?
00:15:01That's huge for us, but pocket change for stellar.
00:15:04Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:06Mr. Sullivan, uh, what an unexpected honor.
00:15:10I'm Sabrina Harper, uh, CEO, what do we owe the...
00:15:13Mr. Clark, our security have detected an urgent impact alone from your device,
00:15:18and the signal originated here.
00:15:19Be of a concern for your safety and cater immediately.
00:15:22Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian, too?
00:15:24Because his laptop impact triggered an alarm?
00:15:27Unbelievable.
00:15:28Mr. Clark, are you all right?
00:15:30Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:31It just took a fall.
00:15:34God, this damage is significant.
00:15:37With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate, this could be 30 million.
00:15:4530 million dollars?
00:15:46No, no, no, no, that's...
00:15:47To fix a fucking laptop?
00:15:49That's impossible.
00:15:50There's no way.
00:15:51Are you questioning me?
00:15:52No, I just...
00:15:53Well, open your eyes.
00:15:54This is a one-off laptop with stellar's quantum processors and proprietary components.
00:15:59You better pray that those data partitions are intact or that compensation will ruin you.
00:16:03I've just had the critical, critical data corruption here.
00:16:07It's highly confidential files, high market value.
00:16:11I mean, with our declarations, this is at least 70 million dollars.
00:16:14I'm still...
00:16:16Oh, that's 70 million dollars!
00:16:18Mr. Clark has the data on his laptop registered with monetary values to the security division.
00:16:24All damages to a fullest extent.
00:16:27Here.
00:16:29Receipts for the hardware and the notarized value declarations for the data.
00:16:33See for yourself.
00:16:43I mean, who carries around a hundred million dollar laptop?
00:16:50Who exactly are you?
00:16:51You don't get to know.
00:16:53In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:55There's no way that there's a fucking laptop that costs a hundred million dollars.
00:17:00You know what?
00:17:00This is a fucking scam.
00:17:01These two, they're working together.
00:17:03I'm telling you, it's a con.
00:17:04Are you serious?
00:17:05I'm Blake Sullivan.
00:17:07I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:08I don't fly across the city a scamming nobody like you.
00:17:11Listen, I have someone.
00:17:13Ms. Harper, this is the employee you hire.
00:17:16He's a fool.
00:17:17And it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:20Oh, by the way, our partnership deal, consider it terminated.
00:17:24What?
00:17:26Um, Mr. Sullivan, please.
00:17:28Damien is just, he's stressy.
00:17:30He didn't mean-
00:17:31Save it.
00:17:32You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:35And you, if you dispute evaluations, we can settle it in court.
00:17:39My legal team has 965 lawyers.
00:17:42I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:47Stellar's legal team is legendary.
00:17:49He never lost.
00:17:50Damien can't fight this.
00:17:52Hell, the entire Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this.
00:17:57He's done for.
00:17:59Sir, name of hell.
00:18:01Please.
00:18:05Please.
00:18:09Mr. Sullivan, Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation.
00:18:14Will that suffice?
00:18:16I'm just here to certify fax.
00:18:18You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:22Full payment, in my account, within three days.
00:18:27In that case, we're done here.
00:18:30Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else.
00:18:34Mr. Sullivan, are our partners-
00:18:35Ms. Harper, get your house in order first.
00:18:38Stellar has standards.
00:18:40We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:43That'll be all.
00:18:44Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:45Oh, that's funny.
00:18:46Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:48A hundred million on the line, and you swoop in the cover for him.
00:18:51You know, I just hope that your father and your grandfather are as generous as you are.
00:18:57Whether her father or Chairman Harper approve is none of your goddamn business.
00:19:00We don't need someone like you worrying about it.
00:19:03He's right.
00:19:05Julian, I give you my word.
00:19:07The full amount will be paid within three days, but under one condition.
00:19:11Our engagement ends for good, and you will leave Harper Enterprise.
00:19:16Now.
00:19:17You hear that, Julian?
00:19:19You know what?
00:19:19I'll admit it.
00:19:20Yeah, you got the money.
00:19:21But it's not about what you made.
00:19:22It's your family's fucking money.
00:19:23And now you're just a spoiled little trust fund baby who's been fired.
00:19:26So get the fuck out!
00:19:28Get the fuck out?
00:19:31One of us just torpedoed a $100 million loan and a $300 million deal.
00:19:36Remind me, which one of us should actually get the fuck out?
00:19:39Serena, I think it is actually time to call your grandfather.
00:19:42He could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:47Stop.
00:19:47Stop!
00:19:53This boy twice thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper.
00:19:56Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:20:00Funny.
00:20:01Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill.
00:20:04Remind me, which one of us is the real boy toy?
00:20:08You.
00:20:18Get the fuck out!
00:20:20Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have.
00:20:23This is Harper Enterprise.
00:20:26I'm the one in charge here.
00:20:29Security, remove him.
00:20:33Julian, please, don't make us get physical.
00:20:36I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in.
00:20:38You really want to lay hands on me?
00:20:40Jared Harper brought you in.
00:20:43Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:45Who do you think you are?
00:20:47You think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:49Julian, I've already given you more courtesy than you deserve.
00:20:52The more you cling on like this, the more disgusting you become to me.
00:20:57Do it.
00:21:00It looks like I don't need that phone call.
00:21:02Still running your mouth, huh?
00:21:04Luke, give him the fuck out of here.
00:21:10What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:14Stand down, all of you!
00:21:16You, out of here, now!
00:21:18Dad, Grandpa, what are you doing here?
00:21:26Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's going on today.
00:21:31I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:36Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:39Chairman Harper apologizing to Julian?
00:21:43Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:47Chairman Harper, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games.
00:21:51How could you possibly shut up?
00:22:00How dare you disrespect Julian?
00:22:04Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has.
00:22:06You can't just hit people.
00:22:07I wish we hit him more.
00:22:09Serena, do you even have any idea who Julian Clark is?
00:22:14We didn't tell you everything because of your ego.
00:22:16And I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:22:18We were going to announce everything once the engagement was formally set.
00:22:22But who knew?
00:22:23Serena, you've been blind.
00:22:26Julian is...
00:22:27Thomas, you can't force something that isn't there.
00:22:29No real feelings.
00:22:30No need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:33Julian, please understand.
00:22:35All of this is on us.
00:22:37Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harper family.
00:22:41Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:47I apologize to Julian, now!
00:22:49No!
00:22:50I don't care who you are, Julian.
00:22:53To me, you're still just a spoiled brat who thinks of himself as some sort of genius.
00:22:59But in reality, all you know is playing video games.
00:23:03I see right through you, and I will not apologize to you!
00:23:08Serena, enough!
00:23:10Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:11Let me apologize.
00:23:12Save it.
00:23:14If Serena can't manage an apology herself, then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:21Issue my order.
00:23:23Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:26Cease every protective measure effective immediately.
00:23:28Julian, please, don't.
00:23:30Without you, this place doesn't survive.
00:23:33Look!
00:23:35Oh!
00:23:40What?
00:23:42Oh, I guess you would have just pulled out orders.
00:23:44What do you mean, hostile takeover?
00:23:46All of our investors pulled out.
00:23:47How can that be?
00:23:53Harper Enterprise stock plunges 30% in minutes, wiping out billions in market value.
00:23:58What?
00:23:59My entire division just stopped.
00:24:01We can't operate like this.
00:24:02A stunning reversal.
00:24:04Harper Enterprise's many allies withdraw their investments in an instant, leaving the group facing massive losses.
00:24:10Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:15Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:16Why did Harper Enterprise suddenly lose power?
00:24:20What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:23How is that possible?
00:24:25Are you attacking the company?
00:24:27No matter who is behind this, I, Serena, will never bow down to you.
00:24:34Harper Enterprise will not yield to any market attacks.
00:24:37Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks.
00:24:39Miss Harper, this isn't a race.
00:24:41Our major partners are terminating their contracts.
00:24:44And our own liquidity can't cover the gas.
00:24:47If this continues, the stock will crash straight through the floor.
00:24:50What did you say?
00:24:53Damn it.
00:24:54How could that trash have such kind of power?
00:24:57Why him?
00:24:57I won't accept this.
00:24:58I won't.
00:24:59Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?
00:25:05Apologize to Julian.
00:25:07No!
00:25:12Serena, Apologize.
00:25:15Serena.
00:25:26Serena, Serena, do not apologize.
00:25:28Harper Enterprise is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
00:25:31You really think we can't survive without him?
00:25:33Let's just get through this crisis and I swear I will make him pay for everything that he has done
00:25:38to you.
00:25:38Oh, shit.
00:25:42Your fucking fault.
00:25:44You apologize to Julian right now.
00:25:46Get on your knees.
00:25:47Dad.
00:25:49Damien.
00:25:50Damien.
00:25:51Dad, stop.
00:25:52Damien has only ever stood up for me.
00:25:54He is the only one who actually cares about me and I won't let you treat him like this.
00:25:58Stay out of the way.
00:25:59No.
00:26:00Are you really going to go to war with Julian over this snake?
00:26:04Do you even have any idea who he really is?
00:26:07Whoever he is, it doesn't give him the right to just bully people like this.
00:26:10I cannot stand bullies who throw their weight around.
00:26:14And today, that is exactly what you look like to me.
00:26:17Serena, that is enough.
00:26:18You hate bullies who throw their weight around, right?
00:26:21What about this guy? What about him?
00:26:23He hides behind your name to steal other people's work.
00:26:26He throws tea on me in this very room.
00:26:28He squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a $100,000 watch.
00:26:32Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:34Oh, I...
00:26:36But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:39Yeah, you're no saint.
00:26:41You're just biased.
00:26:44I've been engaged to you for the past six months.
00:26:47I have asked you out 37 times.
00:26:50Because I thought we should at least get to know each other.
00:26:52Every time I have asked you out, you said, I'm too busy with work.
00:26:56But that wasn't the truth.
00:26:58The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant.
00:27:01Listen to him and sing your praises, right?
00:27:05Who's that?
00:27:07Oh, let me guess.
00:27:08Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:13Just ignore him.
00:27:14Is he still your fiancé?
00:27:17Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:20I just...
00:27:21I can't stand him.
00:27:23A spoiled heir who thinks the world revolves around him?
00:27:28So what if I did?
00:27:30Who I choose to hang out with is my own choice.
00:27:33We're engaged.
00:27:34Not married.
00:27:35I can see whoever I want.
00:27:37Serena, shut up.
00:27:40No, I am not done.
00:27:42Damien has worked himself to the bone.
00:27:45He is driven and disciplined.
00:27:47And when Harper first went public, he was a key reason that we made it.
00:27:51If you had even half his talent, Julian,
00:27:54maybe I would have said yes to you once.
00:27:57But you don't.
00:28:01Damien was a key reason you made it.
00:28:03That's your story, right?
00:28:04What is so funny?
00:28:06I mean, I'm laughing at just how foolish you are.
00:28:09Do you know why, for the past six months,
00:28:12all of your proposals have sailed through?
00:28:14Why every deal that you like happened to have closed?
00:28:17Why every time that you wanted a loan,
00:28:19the banks rolled out a special fast track for you?
00:28:22Because Damien is brilliant.
00:28:23Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way.
00:28:26Damien? Brilliant?
00:28:28That was Julian.
00:28:31Julian is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together.
00:28:35Serena.
00:28:36No, that is impossible.
00:28:39I don't believe it.
00:28:49Hey.
00:28:50Eyes up, Serena.
00:28:52In the past six months,
00:28:53I've called in 47 separate connections
00:28:55and cleared a path for you.
00:28:56Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange.
00:28:58And you know,
00:28:59I made you Wall Street's business queen.
00:29:01That's Iron Gate,
00:29:02North Bridge,
00:29:03and even Silver Line.
00:29:04Those are all the top 50 global giants.
00:29:06They've all been begging us behind the scenes?
00:29:09No wonder every project went so smoothly.
00:29:11Julian's the one with this kind of network.
00:29:13Damien's got some nerves
00:29:15stealing credit for something like this.
00:29:16That's a death wish.
00:29:21No, no, no.
00:29:22It's not true, huh?
00:29:24Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me
00:29:26and my hard work and my connections.
00:29:28Shit!
00:29:28You period fool.
00:29:31Did you think you could step in here
00:29:33and steal credit from everything?
00:29:35Everything?
00:29:40All right.
00:29:41That's enough.
00:29:43I finally got the all clear for my grandfather.
00:29:45I can go home.
00:29:46So as of right now,
00:29:48our engagement is terminated.
00:29:50Julian,
00:29:51all of this has been our fault.
00:29:52But the engagement...
00:29:54Let him go.
00:29:55I don't need a fiancé
00:29:56who uses his family background
00:29:57to wreck people.
00:30:01Without my connections
00:30:02and my network,
00:30:04Harper Enterprise's stock
00:30:05is going to keep falling.
00:30:06And it's going to go right back
00:30:07to where it was six months ago.
00:30:10Wait, wait, wait.
00:30:11You're just going to go on.
00:30:13Prepare yourselves.
00:30:15Julian.
00:30:15Julian.
00:30:16That's it.
00:30:17Julian.
00:30:20Serena.
00:30:22You silly, foolish,
00:30:23foolish girl.
00:30:25Grandpa,
00:30:26I have never been clearer
00:30:28with or without him.
00:30:29I will lead Harper Enterprise
00:30:30back to the top.
00:30:31Serena's right.
00:30:32Mr. Harper,
00:30:33Chairman Harper,
00:30:34I'm going to stand by Serena's side
00:30:35and I'm going to give her
00:30:36everything that I've got.
00:30:38Crap.
00:30:39I'm going to beat the crap
00:30:40out of you once and for all.
00:30:43Dad, that is enough.
00:30:45Dad?
00:30:46Grandpa?
00:30:47I know you have your issues
00:30:49with Damien,
00:30:50but I believe
00:30:51he will prove himself to you
00:30:53and so will I.
00:30:56I will show everyone here
00:30:57that what Harper achieved
00:30:58over the past six months
00:30:59was my work.
00:31:00It has nothing
00:31:02to do with Julian.
00:31:04This meeting is over.
00:31:06Serena, wait up.
00:31:08You.
00:31:09God.
00:31:10Tell me what to do
00:31:11with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:17Serena.
00:31:18Serena.
00:31:19Don't even worry about that.
00:31:20I know our enterprise
00:31:21took a huge hit today,
00:31:22but as long as we lock down
00:31:23Amber Group's Crescent Lake project,
00:31:25change the game,
00:31:26and everyone will still think
00:31:27that we're in control.
00:31:28Easy.
00:31:30The $3 billion Crescent Lake project.
00:31:33If we can win that contract,
00:31:35we can wipe all the problems
00:31:36we've been facing.
00:31:38Damien,
00:31:39you've secured
00:31:40several of Amber Group's
00:31:41projects before,
00:31:42and I'm going to put this one
00:31:43in your hands, too.
00:31:44It's not going to be
00:31:45a problem, right?
00:31:46No, no, absolutely.
00:31:47You're going to count on me.
00:31:48Amber Group's
00:31:49deputy VP of projects.
00:31:51I mean, you trust me
00:31:51clearly.
00:31:53Yes, it's good as ours.
00:32:02Get the Crescent Lake
00:32:03contract ready.
00:32:04Same as always.
00:32:05Once the Harper team arrives,
00:32:07we hand it straight to them.
00:32:09Ms. Lawson,
00:32:09we just got an update.
00:32:10Julian Clark has been
00:32:11kicked out of Harper Enterprise.
00:32:13The engagement is off.
00:32:14Serena fired him
00:32:15and ended it.
00:32:18Are you sure?
00:32:20Absolutely.
00:32:21Word is,
00:32:22she listened to her assistant,
00:32:23Damien,
00:32:23who really stirred the pot,
00:32:24and then Serena
00:32:25personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:27Serena really thinks
00:32:28she got where she is
00:32:29because of Damien?
00:32:30That for your little lap dog?
00:32:32Then,
00:32:33do we still hand
00:32:34the Crescent Lake project
00:32:35over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:37Without Julian,
00:32:38Harper Enterprise really thinks
00:32:39it's worthy of Crescent Lake?
00:32:41Not a chance.
00:32:43Open it to public bidding.
00:32:44Yes, ma'am.
00:32:53Now that is an amazing shot,
00:32:55Mr. Brooks.
00:32:55Damien,
00:32:57Crescent Lake's public bid
00:32:58is coming up soon.
00:33:00How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:16Damien,
00:33:17what does this mean, huh?
00:33:18Mr. Brooks,
00:33:19why don't you do yourself a favor
00:33:20and take a closer look?
00:33:23That's one million
00:33:24in clean crypto,
00:33:26untraceable.
00:33:27Harper Enterprise
00:33:28is totally prepared
00:33:30to take on Crescent Lake.
00:33:32We just need you
00:33:33to give us
00:33:34a little extra attention.
00:33:36Oh, my, Damien.
00:33:37You're too kind.
00:33:39Sure,
00:33:40it's a public bidding
00:33:41on paper,
00:33:42but, uh,
00:33:43as long as I'm here,
00:33:44you've got nothing
00:33:45to worry about.
00:33:47Sit tight.
00:33:49Contract's yours.
00:33:52Miss Larson
00:33:53usually hands
00:33:54Harper Enterprises
00:33:54whatever they want anyway.
00:33:57Well,
00:33:58thank you very much,
00:33:59Mr. Brooks.
00:34:28Well,
00:34:28well,
00:34:30friends,
00:34:30Jillian.
00:34:32Heard Serena
00:34:33kicked you out.
00:34:35Six months
00:34:36of hard work
00:34:37down the drain.
00:34:39What does that feel?
00:34:41Oh,
00:34:41I see.
00:34:42So,
00:34:42you brought me
00:34:43to your party
00:34:44just to mock me
00:34:45a little bit.
00:34:45Is that right?
00:34:46Of course.
00:34:48Not.
00:34:51I'm here
00:34:51to steal you.
00:34:53You see?
00:34:55Since
00:34:56your engagement
00:34:57is off,
00:34:58I was thinking,
00:35:00how about
00:35:01you consider
00:35:01me, huh?
00:35:05Guys like us,
00:35:06we don't get
00:35:07to escape alliances.
00:35:08Our families
00:35:09will bear
00:35:10us off
00:35:11either way,
00:35:11so,
00:35:13why pick a stranger
00:35:14when there's
00:35:15someone who
00:35:17actually knows
00:35:18you?
00:35:18you see?
00:35:20Childhood friends,
00:35:22same circles,
00:35:2515 years of school,
00:35:28we match,
00:35:29you know?
00:35:30We fit.
00:35:32Hang on.
00:35:33Laura,
00:35:34are you saying
00:35:35this because
00:35:36you're drunk
00:35:36or do you...
00:35:37Shh.
00:35:39Shh.
00:35:45I'm not drunk.
00:35:46Good.
00:35:47You don't have to
00:35:48answer me tonight,
00:35:49just think about it.
00:35:51Hmm?
00:35:56It's for you.
00:36:01Hmm?
00:36:02It's for you.
00:36:05.
00:36:20.
00:36:21See?
00:36:22I told you, I'm not drunk.
00:36:24All right, this one should come off.
00:36:27Oh, shit.
00:36:28I'm talking.
00:36:31All right, this one should come off.
00:36:33Oh, shit.
00:36:35I'm talking.
00:36:50Miss Lawson, Amber Group's distinguished CEO.
00:36:54Allow me the pleasure of introducing myself.
00:36:58Oh, I am so sorry.
00:37:00Bad, bad timing.
00:37:01Truly terrible timing.
00:37:10Don't move.
00:37:12If that jacket slips for you in a second, you're finished.
00:37:15Okay, aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:17Amber Group's CEO get caught in a scandal at a pool party?
00:37:20I remember on those tomorrow's company's visibility,
00:37:23but I'm not letting the pictures of my breast go through.
00:37:27Okay.
00:37:28Okay.
00:37:31But if you stay through to me, I guess the rest of the night,
00:37:38I think my heart's going to skip on its chest.
00:37:53And suffer.
00:37:54Okay?
00:37:56If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:38:04Please, please.
00:38:07Walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:23Speak of the devil of all the times.
00:38:31You know, this is a private party for Amber Group's CEO.
00:38:34You know what I lost?
00:38:36Not exactly the kind of place where anybody could just wander into.
00:38:39Oh, wait.
00:38:42Well, well.
00:38:44I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:48Feelings for Serena weren't that deep after all.
00:38:52Can I help you with something?
00:38:54Seriously?
00:38:55This woman's even better than Serena.
00:38:57How does a loser like Julian always get women?
00:38:59I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:39:01Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here,
00:39:04she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:39:08Pouring herself out like this?
00:39:11It's me all take her.
00:39:12Is that so?
00:39:14Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Christmas Eve project.
00:39:22What, you're bidding too?
00:39:23Yeah, I know you got connection.
00:39:25And that's great, you know.
00:39:26But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:28Me, I got real talent, all right?
00:39:30And I'm going to win Crescent Lake for Serena.
00:39:32You, you're just going to fucking lose like you lose everything else.
00:39:37Good luck.
00:39:49See that?
00:39:50That is a shameless whore.
00:39:53That woman seems familiar.
00:39:55Samantha, you don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:59All right, come on.
00:40:00Let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:40:01Let's go socialize,
00:40:02and maybe we'll run into the host of the party lost in herself.
00:40:06And if we do,
00:40:08I'll make sure we're really good at this.
00:40:17I'll make sure we're really good at this.
00:40:27So that pretty boy Damien actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:32Tonight we're going to see who's really on top.
00:40:35Okay.
00:40:36Manners, this is a public event.
00:40:38What?
00:40:40You've known me since we were kids.
00:40:42Why would I pretend around you?
00:40:44But
00:40:45if
00:40:45you like glassy
00:40:46I can do glassy.
00:40:48Okay.
00:40:49You can do glassy?
00:40:50Yes.
00:40:51Miss Lawson,
00:40:52it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:59I'll let you get to it.
00:41:04Shall we?
00:41:21Julian.
00:41:24I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:26You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:30You know what?
00:41:32Mason Brooks,
00:41:33Amber Group's
00:41:33deputy VP of projects,
00:41:35already agreed to award the contract to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:39You can't win.
00:41:45I hear the Crescent Lake project is basically yours.
00:41:48Congratulations.
00:41:50Serena,
00:41:50you are the business queen of Wall Street.
00:41:52And with Damien backing you up,
00:41:54it's unstoppable.
00:41:55When the two of you take off,
00:41:56don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:58Of course.
00:41:59You know,
00:41:59we're going to take care of you guys.
00:42:00Thank you so much.
00:42:08See that, Julian?
00:42:10Everybody already knows
00:42:11that Crescent Lake belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:42:13I suggest you walk out of here
00:42:14before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:42:16It's funny.
00:42:18You see,
00:42:18my Clark Group
00:42:19has deeper capital,
00:42:20better tech,
00:42:21and a stronger global record
00:42:23than Harper Enterprise.
00:42:24So,
00:42:24I'm just curious,
00:42:26why would Mason Brooks
00:42:27go with you guys?
00:42:28He recognizes Damien's talent,
00:42:30of course.
00:42:35I need to take this.
00:42:42Don't mind, Julian.
00:42:46What century are you living in?
00:42:49You really think that capital and technology
00:42:51wins contracts anymore?
00:42:52Then what does?
00:42:54I'm really that fucking stupid.
00:42:56Of course this.
00:42:59I paid Mason Brooks
00:43:00one million in crypto.
00:43:02What do you have
00:43:03that's going to be that?
00:43:06You paid Mason Brooks?
00:43:08That's impossible.
00:43:09He wouldn't dare.
00:43:11That's impossible.
00:43:12He wouldn't dare.
00:43:13Yeah,
00:43:13you want to understand
00:43:14the rules up top there,
00:43:15sweetheart.
00:43:16But hey,
00:43:17you're a very lovely,
00:43:19beautiful escort.
00:43:20Why don't you do us all a favor,
00:43:21get up on that stage,
00:43:22and give us a nice little
00:43:23poll show.
00:43:24Hey,
00:43:24hey,
00:43:25I'm going to tell you,
00:43:26you want to know why
00:43:27I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:30Because every time
00:43:31I give Mason Brooks
00:43:32a nice little fortune,
00:43:36capital technology,
00:43:39it's useless,
00:43:40fucking trash.
00:43:42Mason Brooks,
00:43:43you've got a lot in there.
00:43:45He's finished.
00:43:47Mr. Brooks is finished.
00:43:49Who the fuck is this?
00:43:51Who are you?
00:43:52What do you think?
00:43:52Amber Group's CEO or something?
00:43:55Who gave you the fucking guts?
00:43:57It's adorable,
00:43:58no?
00:43:58Amber Group's
00:43:59anti-corruption code did.
00:44:02Anti-anti-anti-corruption?
00:44:04Hmm?
00:44:17What are you going to report,
00:44:18Mr. Brooks?
00:44:19Hmm?
00:44:19Oh!
00:44:22You hit me.
00:44:24You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:27I'm going to have Mason Brooks crush you
00:44:28with one phone call.
00:44:32There he is.
00:44:33Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:34You're finished.
00:44:37Mr. Brooks.
00:44:38They need me, my friend.
00:44:40There's a woman here.
00:44:41So she's going to report to you.
00:44:42Come on, please.
00:44:43Teach her a lesson.
00:44:43Oh, report me?
00:44:45Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:46This woman right here.
00:44:51Miss Lawson?
00:44:52She's even quoted the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:55Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:57What?
00:44:58What?
00:45:01This can't be...
00:45:05Go ahead.
00:45:06Laugh.
00:45:07Laugh some more.
00:45:08Are you insane, Damien?
00:45:09You'll say anything out loud.
00:45:11Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:45:12She's just some golden whore.
00:45:14I mean, even if she rats you out,
00:45:15who's going to believe this fuck up?
00:45:17Why are you bidding me?
00:45:19Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:20When did I ever take your money?
00:45:22I never took one cent.
00:45:24Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:27Idiot.
00:45:28Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:30Miss Lawson, this Damien, he's a lunatic.
00:45:34He's making things up.
00:45:35Don't listen to him.
00:45:36I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:40Not once.
00:45:43Miss Lawson.
00:45:45No, no, wait.
00:45:47You're Nora Lawson, Amber's group CEO?
00:45:50How is that possible?
00:45:51How is that fucking...
00:45:52Mr. Brooks?
00:45:53Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:55Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:59We promise we won't let you down.
00:46:03Stop.
00:46:04Shut the fuck up.
00:46:06When did I ever give you anything?
00:46:09Miss Lawson?
00:46:11These Harper Enterprise people, they're all out of their minds.
00:46:14They lie like the wind.
00:46:16I can't believe a word they say.
00:46:19Miss Lawson?
00:46:22Miss Lawson?
00:46:24She's Nora Lawson?
00:46:28The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:30Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:33You can leave now.
00:46:36Miss Lawson, I am so sorry.
00:46:40Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being inappropriate.
00:46:45But I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:49He is blunt, yes.
00:46:51But his ability is exceptional.
00:46:55Please, give Harper Enterprise the contract, and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:47:02Exceptional ability?
00:47:03Are you sure about that?
00:47:05Of course.
00:47:07If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:47:12You're about to find out.
00:47:19Damien?
00:47:21What does she mean?
00:47:23Oh, shit.
00:47:24I can't let her find out I secured every project.
00:47:26Right.
00:47:27She's upset because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:29So she wants revenge.
00:47:31So she's going to embarrass Harper Enterprise in front of everyone.
00:47:34So what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:36Let's go.
00:47:36Uh, go?
00:47:38If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:42Even if Miss Lawson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:46Serena, please!
00:47:47Okay?
00:47:47I'm sorry.
00:47:49There we go now.
00:47:50All right?
00:47:51I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones.
00:47:52But we need to go now.
00:47:53Come on.
00:47:54What is wrong with you today?
00:47:56Are you hiding something from me?
00:47:58I...
00:48:11You want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart?
00:48:15Technology capital.
00:48:17Useless fucking trash.
00:48:19What?
00:48:20Shit!
00:48:20She actually recorded it?
00:48:22And escort.
00:48:23So why don't you do us all a nice little favor?
00:48:25Get up on that stage.
00:48:26Give us a nice little poll show.
00:48:31Who is that?
00:48:32He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:36That's Damien Blackwell, Harper Enterprise's executive assistant.
00:48:39How do you not know him?
00:48:40All of the best Amber projects being sent to Harper Enterprises over the past six months.
00:48:45And now we know they were bought.
00:48:49That's not true.
00:48:50All of that's a lie.
00:48:51Just don't do that.
00:48:52Just turn it off.
00:48:53Turn it off right now!
00:48:54Stop him!
00:48:56Let go of me!
00:48:59Damien, you did this behind my back?
00:49:01This is your talent?
00:49:03Your ability?
00:49:04Yes, you're mean to please just see it.
00:49:06Mr. Brooks' assistant?
00:49:08What a fucking ridiculous thing to say.
00:49:10Who are you to say anything?
00:49:12What do you think, your Amber group CEO?
00:49:14Amber.
00:49:16Turn it off, please.
00:49:17Okay?
00:49:18Okay, Ms. Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:49:20Just, please stop it!
00:49:21Please!
00:49:22Please!
00:49:24Bribery is one thing, but mistaking Ms. Lawson for an escort?
00:49:28A whore?
00:49:30He's fucking blind.
00:49:31The best part?
00:49:32He confessed right in front of her that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:36Genius!
00:49:37And Serena trusted him to be her assistant?
00:49:39I mean, what does that say about her judgment?
00:49:42Damien, you have disappointed me beyond words.
00:49:46Serena, I did it because I cared about you.
00:49:48Because I care about Harper Enterprise.
00:49:50Guys, please, I'm happy you told you the truth.
00:49:52Enough.
00:49:53Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:55Mason Brooks, you're fired.
00:49:58Effective immediately.
00:50:00I'm done.
00:50:02The Crescent Lake Project.
00:50:05Harper Enterprise is disqualified.
00:50:08Every single project Amber Group has done together with them will be suspended.
00:50:13The projects will be back for competitive bidding.
00:50:17No, no, you can't do that.
00:50:20Those projects are our next three years.
00:50:22They affect thousands of employees.
00:50:24Their lives are future.
00:50:26And why am the person who hired Trash and called it talent?
00:50:30Real talent.
00:50:38Pathetic.
00:50:43Serena.
00:50:46Please, you gotta let me explain.
00:50:49Miss Lawson, wait.
00:50:50Serena!
00:50:53Serena!

01:03:49we're not
01:03:50understood
01:03:51good
01:04:05you
01:04:05you
01:04:22Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:29What is this supposed to be?
01:04:31A gift for you.
01:04:33Myself.
01:04:35I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:37Every group backs you up.
01:04:40No questions asked.
01:04:41But first, you have to accept the gift.
01:04:45Not really.
01:04:56Hey, can you not do that?
01:04:59You're making this incredibly awkward.
01:05:02You know, a woman like me shows up a gift wrapped and any man would have, you know, pounced me
01:05:09by now.
01:05:10Don't tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:05:13Hung up?
01:05:16You're not going to be hung up on Serena.
01:05:17She and I were never romantic.
01:05:20No, it's just a business marriage between two families.
01:05:24Things are moving too fast.
01:05:26You gotta think twice.
01:05:27But I don't have time.
01:05:30My family is preparing to send me off into a European alliance.
01:05:35Some old money.
01:05:37Perfect match they can show off at Wallace.
01:05:40Wait, what are you talking about?
01:05:41Are you serious?
01:05:42Yes, Julian.
01:05:44My uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of me permanently.
01:05:49But I don't want a stranger.
01:05:51I want you.
01:05:52I love you.
01:05:56Julian, let's make it official.
01:05:59Let's get married.
01:06:03You know, if you'll marry me, my family won't dare object.
01:06:10Please, Julian.
01:06:21Okay.
01:06:23I'll marry you.
01:06:25Are you serious?
01:06:26No takebacks.
01:06:28No takebacks.
01:06:29Ever.
01:06:29Ever.
01:06:30I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:33But can you help me out?
01:06:37Um, my hands are getting wet.
01:06:40So impatient.
01:06:44It's like you said.
01:06:47If I accept the gift, then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:56Then be gentle.
01:07:05Jillian, you didn't forget about your promise last night, right?
01:07:11Uh, no.
01:07:12Because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:07:14Of course I remember that.
01:07:16You know, when someone wraps themselves as a gift, you kind of remember that for the rest of your life.
01:07:21Details.
01:07:22Those are just tiny details.
01:07:25Those are just tiny details.
01:07:27Look like big details to me.
01:07:31Julia.
01:07:34Can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:36Serena, I really don't think there's anything we need to discuss.
01:07:39Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:40I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:42I misjudged everything.
01:07:44Please, just give me one more chance and I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:49And if you take me back, just tell me what you want.
01:07:51I'll do anything.
01:07:52I'm sorry.
01:07:53I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:58Boyfriend?
01:08:05Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:08:08Well, Julian hates them too.
01:08:10And yet you stayed at Harper Enterprise for six full months.
01:08:14He asked you out 37 times.
01:08:17So tell me, what exactly are you proud of?
01:08:20Hmm?
01:08:22Men like him?
01:08:24If you treat him like trash, someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:08:29Listen carefully.
01:08:31We are all together now, so better keep your distance.
01:08:34If you don't, I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:40Come on.
01:08:41We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:43Let's not be late.
01:08:45Wedding outfits.
01:08:48Let's go.
01:08:54Let's go.
01:09:03So how did it go?
01:09:05Julian?
01:09:07He's with Nora.
01:09:08Oh, God.
01:09:12Nora.
01:09:13Nora Lawson, CEO of Amber Group.
01:09:17Of course.
01:09:18You know, Serena, it's an elite like Julian.
01:09:22The second you let go, somebody comes and grabs him.
01:09:26You don't get another chance.
01:09:28God gave our family a chance.
01:09:30And we blew it.
01:09:33God, forgive the Harpers.
01:09:35Please.
01:09:38Ms. Hopper, finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:41Hopper Enterprises' cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:44If we don't act immediately, we won't even have enough to make payroll this month.
01:09:50Great.
01:09:51Now all of Marjorie knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:55Who is he going to lend to us now?
01:09:57How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:59This is my fault, okay?
01:10:01I was blind.
01:10:02Are you proud now?
01:10:04I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:10:08And I didn't realize that Julian was running everything.
01:10:13And the moment he's gone, I can't do anything.
01:10:17Dad.
01:10:18Grandpa.
01:10:20I'm so sorry.
01:10:21I ruined Harpers Enterprise.
01:10:24I ruined everything.
01:10:26Dad.
01:10:27You're the one who arranged the engagement with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:31So maybe you should go talk to him and see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:36Yes, Grandpa.
01:10:38Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:40If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:44Clark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:47Yes.
01:10:48They honored our engagement.
01:10:51And that was a mercy.
01:10:53That was a blessing.
01:10:54But you threw it away.
01:11:00Still, for your sake and for your future, and for our future, we'll fight.
01:11:13Serena, when you see Julian's grandfather, your apology has to be sincere.
01:11:21If he forgives you, only then will you know that you have a chance to get Julian back.
01:11:29Understood, Grandpa.
01:11:30For the Harper family, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:48Welcome.
01:11:50You must be here for Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:54Perfect timing.
01:11:56They're just about to start.
01:11:58Engagement party?
01:12:00So they're really engaged?
01:12:03Wait, how is this all happening so fast?
01:12:07What is this supposed to mean?
01:12:09Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson have known each other since they were born, and everyone is so happy that they're
01:12:15finally getting married.
01:12:16Oh, oh, I see.
01:12:19You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:12:21Then please leave.
01:12:24Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:12:32If there's an engagement party, that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:40And that means we're done.
01:12:44There's no more chances left.
01:12:46We're leaving.
01:12:48Is this my punishment?
01:12:52All right, everyone.
01:12:54Big smiles.
01:13:04Sure, sure, sure.
01:13:06Yep.
01:13:11Julian, are you okay?
01:13:13Hey.
01:13:20What is it?
01:13:21Oh, it's nothing.
01:13:22Come on, dinner's almost ready.
01:13:37Dad?
01:13:38The Harpers?
01:13:40My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:45For a young one.
01:13:47It was six months at Harper Enterprise.
01:13:50It was a total humiliation.
01:13:53We've shown that Harper had more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:59Understood, Dad.
01:14:08Okay, enough, Serena.
01:14:10Stop.
01:14:10You can't drink this away.
01:14:13Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:14:16If you don't get up, it's over.
01:14:19Just leave me the fuck alone.
01:14:21Okay?
01:14:22Just let me drink.
01:14:23I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:14:25I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:14:27No, you...
01:14:30All right, I've got to take this.
01:14:32Don't move.
01:14:33I'll be right back, and then I am taking you home.
01:14:37All right.
01:14:45Nora.
01:14:48Okay, Nora.
01:14:50Be honest.
01:14:51You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:53You just got engaged, and you're getting married next week?
01:14:57Let's see.
01:14:58You've known Julian for 20-plus years.
01:15:02You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:15:03I've liked Julian for 20 years, and I finally got him to say yes.
01:15:08You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:15:10Lock it down from what?
01:15:11From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:15:13They're collapsing and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:15:18I have to move fast.
01:15:20If they start begging, what if Julian hesitates?
01:15:25But Julian and Serena were forced into that.
01:15:28There's no real love.
01:15:30Why will Julian hesitate?
01:15:31What are you afraid of?
01:15:33You don't get it.
01:15:35Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months,
01:15:38and it wasn't just because he's grandfather watery.
01:15:41Then why?
01:15:44Because Serena is his type.
01:15:48Wait, what?
01:15:52I am Julian's type?
01:15:56No way!
01:15:57I'm serious.
01:15:59The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:16:01That exact time.
01:16:03I mean, with his personality,
01:16:06even if his grandfather forced him,
01:16:08he would have stayed there for three days max,
01:16:10and then vanished.
01:16:11He would not stay there
01:16:13and take six months of humiliation
01:16:16if he didn't want it to.
01:16:18That's Julian Clark.
01:16:20So that's why?
01:16:22Serena must have destroyed him.
01:16:23I have to get married fast.
01:16:26I cannot give her a single chance.
01:16:29So that's what it was.
01:16:30Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:16:33because I'm his type.
01:16:35He likes me.
01:16:36That means I still have a chance.
01:16:38I still have a chance.
01:16:40This is my last shot.
01:16:42I am not wasting it.
01:16:50Where is she?
01:16:57Ladies and gentlemen,
01:16:59let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:17:14Wow, they look perfect together.
01:17:17They're childhood sweethearts.
01:17:19The whole fantasy.
01:17:20Oh my God, brilliant!
01:17:23And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:38Wait!
01:17:44Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:48Who is that?
01:17:49Is that Serena Harper?
01:17:51CEO of Harper Enterprise?
01:17:52You mean the woman who rode on Julian's back to the IPO
01:17:56and then kicked him out like he was nothing?
01:17:58Without Julian, Harper Enterprise is basically bankrupt.
01:18:02Pathetic.
01:18:03Wait!
01:18:05Serena, what are you doing here?
01:18:11Julian, I know you like me.
01:18:13You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:18:16humiliated if you didn't.
01:18:22I know.
01:18:23I was wrong.
01:18:24Totally wrong, okay?
01:18:26Just please.
01:18:27Give me another chance.
01:18:31Our engagement is over.
01:18:34In fact, you were the one that called it off.
01:18:37Look, this is my wedding.
01:18:39Have some dignity.
01:18:40In fact, can we get her out of here, please?
01:18:42No, please.
01:18:43I'll do anything.
01:18:45Just...
01:18:45No.
01:18:49I know you hate me
01:18:52because I rejected you 37 times,
01:18:55but I'll make it up to you.
01:18:58I'll chase you 37 times,
01:19:00370 times,
01:19:01whatever it did.
01:19:03Enough.
01:19:03Can we please get her out?
01:19:04No, don't touch me!
01:19:06Julian, what do you want from me?
01:19:08I know you like me,
01:19:10so why won't you give me another chance?
01:19:12Why?
01:19:17Simple question.
01:19:19Do you love me?
01:19:23I...
01:19:23Exactly.
01:19:24You don't.
01:19:25You didn't realize you made a mistake.
01:19:27You realized that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:19:30See, what you want
01:19:31is not a chance,
01:19:33but a tool.
01:19:34You want me back
01:19:35so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:39No, that, that...
01:19:41That's not true.
01:19:43Just please.
01:19:45Listen.
01:19:46Please, listen.
01:19:47Enough.
01:19:47Serena.
01:19:48When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise,
01:19:49do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:53Let me ask you this.
01:19:55If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed,
01:19:57if your value kept climbing,
01:19:59would you still be here
01:20:00standing in front of me today?
01:20:03I...
01:20:04No, I...
01:20:05No, you wouldn't.
01:20:06You absolutely wouldn't.
01:20:07You'd be celebrating.
01:20:09You'd say that you earned
01:20:10the business queen a crown.
01:20:11You'd be mocking me,
01:20:12calling me pathetic.
01:20:14You'd say that firing me
01:20:15was the best decision you ever made.
01:20:16Plus,
01:20:17you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:20:19No.
01:20:21No, Serena.
01:20:22That's not me.
01:20:24Just admit it, Serena.
01:20:26You don't feel anything for me.
01:20:28But on my wedding day,
01:20:29you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:20:31Why?
01:20:32Because you want me back
01:20:33as your lifeline.
01:20:35Your donor.
01:20:36Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:38But the moment I stop being useful,
01:20:40you will kick me away again
01:20:41without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:43No.
01:20:45No, Julian.
01:20:47That is not true.
01:20:48The night that you saved me
01:20:51from Damien,
01:20:52I...
01:20:54I felt something for you.
01:20:56I did...
01:20:56Stop.
01:20:57Do not perform at my wedding.
01:20:59You don't regret hurting me.
01:21:01You regret choosing the wrong man.
01:21:03You regret that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:21:06You know, I'll admit,
01:21:07when I met you,
01:21:09you were exactly my type.
01:21:12But once I got to know you,
01:21:13once I realized what you really are,
01:21:16all I felt was disgust.
01:21:20But Nora...
01:21:22She has cared for me
01:21:23since we were kids.
01:21:27When I was sick,
01:21:29she stayed up all night
01:21:30taking care of me.
01:21:32When I was at my lowest,
01:21:33she pulled me back up.
01:21:35Even when I went back
01:21:36to Harper Enterprise
01:21:37on the engagement,
01:21:39she still supported me.
01:21:41She still took hits from me.
01:21:45So,
01:21:46let me ask you.
01:21:49Why would I give up
01:21:50all of that
01:21:50for you?
01:21:53What makes you think
01:21:54you deserve that?
01:22:00Get her out.
01:22:01No, no.
01:22:02No, please don't.
01:22:04Don't, don't.
01:22:05Please.
01:22:05I'm begging you.
01:22:06Just please let me explain.
01:22:08Julian, please.
01:22:09Please, let me,
01:22:10please stop letting go.
01:22:12Julian, please don't do it.
01:22:14Crashing a wedding like that?
01:22:15I thought she actually loved him.
01:22:17Turns out,
01:22:18she just realized
01:22:19without Julian,
01:22:20she can't stay on top.
01:22:21She used Julian's feelings
01:22:23like a weapon.
01:22:24Totally vampire-drained him dry.
01:22:25I haven't heard the night.
01:22:37I'm not mistaken.
01:22:56Mr. Clark!
01:23:15I'm sure you've all heard. Harper Enterprise, affected today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:23:21So, we're all being terminated.
01:23:26Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:23:28I've given this company 15 years. You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:23:3315 years, wow. Congratulations.
01:23:36You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:42You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:45I've seen how you all work.
01:23:48There are bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud.
01:23:56Every one of you does a file.
01:23:58So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms.
01:24:02And once you sign them, hand over your badges, or you're going to rob in jail.
01:24:09This, this is it.
01:24:25Are you satisfied now?
01:24:29Satisfied?
01:24:30Thomas went to my grandfather.
01:24:32He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:24:37I saved you.
01:24:40Julian.
01:24:43If I didn't treat you the way I did, would any of this be different?
01:24:56Julian, why didn't you get thrown away and still land something better?
01:24:59I spent my whole life climbing upwards, and now I'm stuck at the bottom.
01:25:03Hunted by cops. I won't accept it.
01:25:06Julian, watch out!
01:25:08Julian!
01:25:12Let me go! Fuck you, let me go!
01:25:14I already spared you. You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:25:18Yo, take him to the police.
01:25:20You get the best of all your money you can buy. I want him to ride in jail.
01:25:22Fuck the coward! You're a fucking coward!
01:25:24Hiding behind your goddamn family's wedding!
01:25:26No, no, fight me! 101! 101! Let the guards go!
01:25:29You're all the fucking guts to you!
01:25:35Hey, Julian. What was that?
01:25:38Just staking out the trash.
01:25:41Are you done here?
01:25:42Julian?
01:25:44No. Let's go.
01:25:52I was wrong! Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:56I was wrong!
