00:00:01Breaking news. Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack.
00:00:06In the past hour alone, the conglomerate has lost over a billion dollars in ARK's situation.
00:00:11Don't be up here on drowning. I just drowned you.
00:00:14Don't be up here on drowning. I just drowned you.
00:00:16Don't be up here on drowning. I just drowned you.
00:00:21No, you have to...
00:00:22I need you to buy the stock, alright?
00:00:24You gotta do it now.
00:00:26This isn't some random dip. Whoever's shorting us came prepared.
00:00:29They're tearing us apart. We 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.
00:00:46Julian, we need you. Again.
00:00:49Shit. Shit.
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.
00:01:44Let's go.
00:01:49Let's go.
00:02:03Let's go.
00:02:12Today, Damien successfully neutralized the short attack against Harper and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:18Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:27Since 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 this pool with Serena to get him fired.
00:02:45Hello? Is 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 can 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.
00:03:09Our company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:13Keep sharing. I'm listening.
00:03:18This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:22Wait, I'm sorry everyone.
00:03:24I forgot.
00:03:27You're just the resident good for nothing.
00:03:28My strategies, you probably couldn't comprehend them, let alone ask a decent goddamn question.
00:03:37Well, since you're so keen on getting my contribution, we'll 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 your 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...
00:04:03Well...
00:04:05Well...
00:04:06Well...
00:04:06Well...
00:04:06Well, 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,
00:04:13the countermeasures for a potential proxy fight,
00:04:15or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:21Let's be real.
00:04:23You are nothing but a glory hound 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?
00:04:44You'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.
00:05:05Now, 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, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:24Harper's, uh, old friends, good staff, you know?
00:05:29Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper.
00:05:32What you're talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:34Feelings could grow, brat.
00:05:36Our families go way better.
00:05:38Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:40My life, my choice.
00:05:42Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that-
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.
00:05:52Go work with Serena.
00:05:55And 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, all right.
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 Harpers, they're in trouble.
00:06:23We do not abandon our own.
00:06:26Use that brilliant head of yours.
00:06:29And help them.
00:06:31Please, 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.
00:07:13So...
00:07:14Pathetic.
00:07:15I said you're fired.
00:07:16Get your shit and get the fuck out of my door.
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.
00:07:32Not your family's playground.
00:07:33Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:36You will leave.
00:07:37Now, do not disrupt this company any further.
00:07:41Serena, is that really the best play you want to make here?
00:07:43I will not repeat it.
00:07:45And 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, Clark.
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...
00:08:18What?
00:08:26You're broke.
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 question.
00:08:37Julian, that is enough.
00:08:39Disrupting proceedings.
00:08:41Assault.
00:08:42Destruction of property.
00:08:43As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:47Effective immediately.
00:08:48Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:51Serena, he 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 one 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.
00:09:14A 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.
00:09:20He does have a point card.
00:09:22You break it, you buy it.
00:09:24That's the rule.
00:09:25Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:32Well, you gonna wire me the money?
00:09:35Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:37And if so, you can crawl out of here,
00:09:40and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:43So what if you're Serena's fiancé?
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.
00:10:00I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room
00:10:03at Harper headquarters.
00:10:13I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room
00:10:17at Harper headquarters.
00:10:21You just called for a million dollars in cash,
00:10:23like a stakeout?
00:10:24What's next?
00:10:25A private army?
00:10:27All right, Julian.
00:10:27The charade ends now.
00:10:28Leave the company, and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:31But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:34We are done.
00:10:36You sure?
00:10:37Whoa, whoa.
00:10:38You heard that, Julian?
00:10:39Your engagement's over.
00:10:40Now get out before I throw you-
00:10:42Get your hands off me!
00:10:46You put 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!
00:11:04That's David Brooks.
00:11:06President of Harvey View Bank.
00:11:07What's a Wall Street titan doing an accomplishment?
00:11:09Do you think it has to do with the hundred million loan?
00:11:11It can't be.
00:11:12That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:17Mr. Clark.
00:11:18The one million.
00:11:20As requested.
00:11:41Mr. Brooks.
00:11:45Personally delivering cash?
00:11:46To Julian?
00:11:48Wait, the money is real?
00:11:50Wait.
00:11:50Uh.
00:11:52Delivered by Mr. Brooks? I mean, wait, who are you?
00:11:57Much appreciated. You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:07Mr. Brooks, sir, we are so honored by your visit.
00:12:11My grandfather, he speaks of you often.
00:12:13I'm sure he'd love to get a round of golf scheduled with you sometime.
00:12:18Mr. Clark, is there anything else you require? My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:24No, thank you. You can go down. Of course.
00:12:33A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting? Unprofessional.
00:12:39I'm suspending the $100 million deal. We'll reassess when there's adult supervision.
00:12:45Yes, sir.
00:12:46Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:50Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:52Let's see him explain this to the chairman. The chairman will have his head.
00:12:56This is all your fault, alright? You 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.
00:13:04You're the one that made. As for us...
00:13:09One million. In full. Which makes this watch...
00:13:16It's mine.
00:13:18You arrogant...
00:13:19Son of a bitch!
00:13:24I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it?
00:13:26I bet you had to sell your house to scrape this together, you fucking loser.
00:13:33But it's all mine now.
00:13:35Yeah, sure, the debt for the watch is settled.
00:13:37But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:40That useless piece of junk, how much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:43Oh...
00:13:43I don't know, maybe about...
00:13:45100 million?
00:13:47A hundred million dollars!
00:13:51For a laptop? Have you lost your mind?
00:13:56100 million.
00:13:57For a laptop.
00:13:59Julian.
00:14:00The law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:03Which your committee is extortion.
00:14:05That's illegal!
00:14:06So, him extorting me for a million was legal then, right?
00:14:09By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago?
00:14:12Huh?
00:14:13Ask conservatives.
00:14:14Enough!
00:14:15Julian.
00:14:17You know, I know you think you're right, but a stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars?
00:14:23A hundred million dollars?
00:14:25I...
00:14:26Dream on.
00:14:27Sure, a standard stellar isn't worth that much.
00:14:29But this isn't a standard, is it?
00:14:31What is it, made of gold?
00:14:32Even then, it still wouldn't cost a hundred million fucking dollars!
00:14:36You know what?
00:14:37You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:46Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:48That's Bill Sullivan.
00:14:49SVP for Stellar.
00:14:51Here?
00:14:51You think it's about the 300 million dollar partnership here?
00:14:54300 million?
00:14:55That's huge for us, Bill.
00:14:56Pocket change for Stellar.
00:14:58Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:00Mr. Sullivan?
00:15:02Uh...
00:15:02What an unexpected honor.
00:15:04I'm Sabrina Harper.
00:15:05Uh, CEO.
00:15:06Do...
00:15:06What do we owe the...
00:15:07Mr. Clark.
00:15:08The security hub detected an urgent impact alert from your device.
00:15:12And the signal originated here.
00:15:14We were concerned for your safety and care immediately.
00:15:16Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian too?
00:15:18Because his laptop impact triggered an alarm?
00:15:21Unbelievable.
00:15:23Mr. Clark, are you alright?
00:15:24Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:25It just...
00:15:25Took 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.
00:15:3930 million dollars?!
00:15:40No, no, no, no!
00:15:41To fix a fucking laptop?!
00:15:43That's impossible!
00:15:44There's no way!
00:15:45Are you questioning me?
00:15:46No, I just...
00:15:47Well, open your eyes.
00:15:48This is a one-off laptop with Stellar's quantum processors and proprietary components.
00:15:53You better pray that those data partitions are intact or that compensation will ruin you.
00:15:58I've 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 dollars.
00:16:1170 million dollars?!
00:16:12Mr. Clark has the data on his laptop registered with monetary values to the security division.
00:16:18All damages to our fullest extent.
00:16:21Here.
00:16:23Receipts for the hardware and the notarized value declarations for the data.
00:16:26See for yourself.
00:16:36Who carries around a hundred million dollar laptop?!
00:16:43Who exactly are you?
00:16:44You don't get to know.
00:16:47In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:49And there's no way that there's a fucking laptop that cost a hundred million dollars!
00:16:53You know what?
00:16:53This is a fucking scam.
00:16:54These two, they're working together.
00:16:56I'm telling you, it's a con!
00:16:57Are you serious?
00:16:58I'm Blake Sullivan.
00:17:00I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:02I don't fly across the city of Skimm and nobody like you.
00:17:05Listen, I'm sorry.
00:17:06This Harper, this is the employee you hire.
00:17:10He's a fool.
00:17:11And it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:14Oh, by the way, our partnership deal?
00:17:16Consider it terminated.
00:17:18What?!
00:17:19Um, Mr. Sullivan, please.
00:17:21Damien is just...
00:17:23He's stressy.
00:17:24He didn't mean...
00:17:25Save it.
00:17:25You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:29And you, if you dispute evaluations, we can settle it in court.
00:17:32My legal team has 965 lawyers.
00:17:36I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:40Stellar's legal team is legendary.
00:17:42He never lost.
00:17:44Damien can't fight this.
00:17:46Hell, the entire Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to...
00:17:49He's gonna fight this.
00:17:50He's done for.
00:17:52So, may I help?
00:17:54Please.
00:17:59Please.
00:18:02Mr. Sullivan.
00:18:04Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation.
00:18:07Will that suffice?
00:18:08I'm just here to certify facts.
00:18:11You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:15Full payment.
00:18:17In my account.
00:18:18Within three days.
00:18:20In that case, we're done here.
00:18:23Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else.
00:18:25I'll do it.
00:18:26Mr. Sullivan, are our partners?
00:18:28Ms. Harper.
00:18:29Get your house in order first.
00:18:31Stellar has standards.
00:18:33We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:35That'll be all.
00:18:36Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:37That's funny.
00:18:39Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:40A hundred million on the line and you swoop in the cover for him.
00:18:44You know, I just hope that your father and your grandfather are as generous as you are.
00:18:49Whether her father or Chairman Harper approve is none of your goddamn business!
00:18:53We don't need someone like you worrying about it!
00:18:56He's right.
00:18:58Julianna, I give you my word.
00:19:00The full amount will be paid within three days.
00:19:02But under one condition.
00:19:03Our engagement ends for good.
00:19:06And you will leave Harper Enterprise.
00:19:09Now.
00:19:10You hear that, Julianna?
00:19:12You know, I'll admit it.
00:19:13Yeah, you got the money.
00:19:13But 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?
00:19:23One of us just torpedoed a hundred million dollar loan and a three hundred million dollar deal.
00:19:28Remind me.
00:19:29Which one of us should actually get the fuck out?
00:19:32Serena, I think it is actually time to call your grandfather.
00:19:34He could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:39Stop.
00:19:40Stop!
00:19:45This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper.
00:19:49Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:19:52Funny.
00:19:53Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill.
00:19:55Remind me.
00:19:56Which one of us is the real boy toy?
00:20:00You.
00:20:10Get the fuck out!
00:20:12Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have.
00:20:15This is Harper Enterprise.
00:20:18I'm the one in charge here.
00:20:21Security, remove him.
00:20:25Julian, please.
00:20:26Don't make us get physical.
00:20:28I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in.
00:20:30You really want to lay hands on me?
00:20:32Chairman Harper brought you in?
00:20:35Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:37Who do you think you are?
00:20:38You 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 don't need that phone call.
00:20:54Still running your mouth, huh?
00:20:56Luke, get me the fuck out of here.
00:21:02What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:06Stand down!
00:21:07All of you!
00:21:08You!
00:21:09Out of here!
00:21:10Now!
00:21:10Dad?
00:21:11Grandpa?
00:21:12What are you doing here?
00:21:18Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's going on today.
00:21:23I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:27I...
00:21:27Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:31Chairman Harper apologizing to Julian?
00:21:35Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:39Chairman Harper, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games.
00:21:42How could you possibly-
00:21:44Shut up!
00:21:53How dare you disrespect Julian!
00:21:55Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has!
00:21:57You can't just hit people!
00:21:58I wish we hit him more.
00:22:00Sylvina, do you even have any idea who Julian Clark is?
00:22:05We didn't tell you everything because of your ego.
00:22:08And I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:22:09You were going to announce everything once the engagement was formally set.
00:22:13But who knew?
00:22:15Sylvina, you've been blind.
00:22:17Julian is-
00:22:18Thomas, you can't force something that isn't there.
00:22:20No real feelings.
00:22:22No need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:24Julian, please, understand.
00:22:26All of this is on us.
00:22:28Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harper Fent.
00:22:32Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:38Apologize to Julian, now!
00:22:40No!
00:22:40I don't care who you are, Julian.
00:22:44To me, you're still just a spoiled brat who thinks of himself as some sort of genius.
00:22:49But in reality, all you know is playing video games.
00:22:54I see right through you, and I will not apologize to you!
00:22:59Serena, enough!
00:23:00Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:02Let me apologize.
00:23:03Let's save him.
00:23:05If Serena can't manage an apology herself, then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:12Issue my order.
00:23:14Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:17Cease every protective measure, effective immediately!
00:23:19Julian, please, don't!
00:23:21Without you, this place doesn't survive!
00:23:24Look!
00:23:26Oh!
00:23:27What?
00:23:32Oh, I guess you would've just pulled out orders.
00:23:34What do you mean?
00:23:35Hostile takeover.
00:23:36All of my investors pulled out.
00:23:38How can that be?
00:23:43Harper Enterprise's stock plunges 30% in minutes, wiping out billions in market value.
00:23:49What?
00:23:49My entire division just stopped!
00:23:51We can't operate like this!
00:23:52A stunning reversal.
00:23:54Harper Enterprise's many allies withdraw their investments in an instant, leaving the group facing massive losses.
00:24:01Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:05Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:07Why did Harper Enterprise's suddenly lose power?
00:24:10What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:13How is that possible?
00:24:16Are you attacking the company?
00:24:17No matter who is behind this, I, Serena, will never bow down to you!
00:24:24Harper Enterprise will not yield to any market attacks.
00:24:27Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks!
00:24:29Miss Harper, this isn't a race.
00:24:31Our major partners are terminating their contracts!
00:24:34And our own liquidity can't cover the gas!
00:24:37If this continues, the stock will crash straight through the floor!
00:24:41What did you say?
00:24:43Damn it!
00:24:44How could that trash have such kind of power?
00:24:47Why him? I won't accept this! I won't!
00:24:49Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?
00:24:56Apologize to Julian!
00:24:57No!
00:25:01Serena!
00:25:03Apologize!
00:25:05Serena!
00:25:15Serena!
00:25:16Serena!
00:25:16Do not apologize!
00:25:17Harper Enterprise is worth hundreds of billions of dollars!
00:25:21You really think we can't survive without him?
00:25:23Let's just get through this crisis and I swear I will make him pay for everything that he has done
00:25:28to you!
00:25:28Oh shit!
00:25:29Oh fucking no!
00:25:30Oh!
00:25:32It's not your fucking fault!
00:25:33You apologize to Julian right now!
00:25:35And get on your n-
00:25:37Dad!
00:25:39Damien!
00:25:39Damien!
00:25:40Damien!
00:25:40Dad!
00:25:41Stop!
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!
00:25:47Stay out of the way!
00:25:48No!
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!
00:26:08So wait, you hate bullies who throw their weight around, right?
00:26:11What about this guy?
00:26:12What about him?
00:26:13He hides behind your name to steal other people's work!
00:26:16He throws tea on me in this very room!
00:26:18He squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a hundred thousand dollar watch!
00:26:21Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:23Oh, I-
00:26:25But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:28Hey, you're no saint.
00:26:30You're just biased.
00:26:33You know, I've been engaged to you for the past six months.
00:26:35I have asked you out thirty-seven times.
00:26:39Yeah, because I thought we should at least get to know each other.
00:26:41Every time I have asked you out, you said,
00:26:43I'm too busy with work.
00:26:45But that wasn't the truth.
00:26:47The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant.
00:26:50Listen to him sing your praises, right?
00:26:55Who's that?
00:26:56Hell, let me guess.
00:26:57Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:02Just ignore him.
00:27:03Is he still your fiancé?
00:27:06Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:10I just, I can't stand him.
00:27:12A spoiled heir who thinks the world revolves around him?
00:27:17So what if I did?
00:27:19Who I choose to hang out with is my own choice.
00:27:22We're engaged, not married.
00:27:24I can see whoever I want.
00:27:27Serena, shut up!
00:27:28No, I am not done.
00:27:31Damien has worked himself to the bone.
00:27:34He is driven and disciplined and when Harper first went public,
00:27:38he was a key reason that we made it.
00:27:40If you had even half his talent, Julian,
00:27:43maybe I would have said yes to you once.
00:27:46But you don't.
00:27:50Damien was a key reason you made it.
00:27:51That's your story, right?
00:27:53What is so funny?
00:27:54I mean, I'm laughing at just how foolish you are.
00:27:58Do you know why, for the past six months,
00:28:00all of your proposals have sailed through?
00:28:03Why every deal that you like happened to have closed?
00:28:06Why every time that you wanted a loan,
00:28:08the banks rolled out a special fast track for you?
00:28:10Because Damien is brilliant.
00:28:12Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way.
00:28:15Damien? Brilliant?
00:28:16That was Julian.
00:28:19Julian is the one who quietly has held his entire thing together.
00:28:24Serena.
00:28:25No, that is impossible.
00:28:28I don't believe it.
00:28:38Hey.
00:28:39Hi's up Serena.
00:28:40In the past six months,
00:28:42I've called in 47 separate connections
00:28:43and cleared a path for you.
00:28:45Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange.
00:28:47And you know,
00:28:48I made you Wall Street's business queen.
00:28:50That's Iron Gate,
00:28:51North Bridge,
00:28:52and even Silver Line.
00:28:53Those are all the top 50 global giants.
00:28:55They all been backing us behind the scenes?
00:28:57No 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.
00:29:05That's a death wish.
00:29:09No, no, no.
00:29:10It's not true, huh?
00:29:11Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me
00:29:14and my hard work and my connections.
00:29:16You arrogant fool.
00:29:19Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:28Alright, that's enough.
00:29:31I finally got the all clear from my grandfather.
00:29:33I can go home.
00:29:34So as of right now,
00:29:35our engagement is terminated.
00:29:37Julian,
00:29:38all of this has been our fault.
00:29:40But the engagement...
00:29:42Let him go.
00:29:43I don't need a fiancé who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:46I don't know.
00:29:49Without my connections and my network,
00:29:52Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:54And it's going to go right back to where it was six months ago.
00:29:57Wait, what?
00:30:01Prepare yourselves.
00:30:02Julian.
00:30:03Julian.
00:30:04Julian.
00:30:08Serena.
00:30:09You silly, foolish, foolish girl.
00:30:13Grandpa, I have never been clearer with or without him.
00:30:17I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:19Serena's right.
00:30:20Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper, I'm going to stand by Serena's side
00:30:23and I'm going to give her everything that I've got.
00:30:26Crap.
00:30:27I'm going to beat the crap out of you once and for all.
00:30:30Dad, that is enough.
00:30:32Dad?
00:30:33Grandpa?
00:30:35I know you have your issues with Damien.
00:30:37But I believe he will prove himself to you.
00:30:40And so will I.
00:30:43I will show everyone here that what Harper achieved over the past six months was my work.
00:30:48It has nothing to do with Julian.
00:30:51This meeting is over.
00:30:53Serena, wait up!
00:30:55You!
00:30:56God.
00:30:57Tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:04Serena.
00:31:05Serena.
00:31:06Don't even worry about that.
00:31:07I know our Enterprise took a huge hit today, but as long as we lock down Amber Group's Crescent Lake
00:31:11project,
00:31:12change the game, and everyone will still think that we're in control.
00:31:15Easy.
00:31:17The $3 billion Crescent Lake project.
00:31:20If we can win that contract, we can wipe all the problems we've been facing.
00:31:25Damien, you've secured several of Amber Group's projects before, and I'm going to put this one in your hands too.
00:31:31It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:33No, no, absolutely.
00:31:34You can count on me.
00:31:35Amber Group's deputy VP of projects.
00:31:38I mean, you trust me clearly.
00:31:40Who else has been his eyes?
00:31:48Theaaand
00:31:49Get the Crescent Lake contract ready.
00:31:51Same as always.

00:31:57Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise.

00:36:35Ms. Lawson, Amber Group's distinguished CEO, allow me the pleasure of introducing myself.
00:36:42Oh, I am so sorry.
00:36:44Bad, bad timing.
00:36:45Truly terrible timing.
00:36:55Don't move.
00:36:56If that jacket slips for you in a second, we're finished.
00:37:00Okay, aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:02Amber Group's CEO get caught in a scandal at a pool party?
00:37:05I'm not going to boost my company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breast
00:37:10go through.
00:37:11Okay.
00:37:13Okay.
00:37:16But if you stay through to me, I guess for the rest of the night.
00:37:22I think my heart's going to skip on its chest.
00:37:37And suffer.
00:37:39Okay?
00:37:40If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:49Please, please, walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:07Speak of the devil, of all the times.
00:38:15You know, this is a private party for Amber Group's CEO.
00:38:18You know what I lost?
00:38:20Not exactly the kind of place where anybody could just wander into.
00:38:23Oh, wait.
00:38:27Well, well.
00:38:28I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:32Feelings for Serena weren't that deep after all.
00:38:36Can I help you with something?
00:38:38Seriously?
00:38:39This woman's even prettier than Serena.
00:38:41How does a loser like Julian always get women?
00:38:43I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:38:46Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here, she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:38:52Pouring herself out like this?
00:38:55Let's be a gold digger.
00:38:56Is that so?
00:38:58Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Crescent League project.
00:39:05What, you're bidding too?
00:39:07Yeah, I know you got connection.
00:39:08And that's great, you know.
00:39:09But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:12Me, I got real talent.
00:39:13All right?
00:39:13And I'm going to win Crescent League for Serena.
00:39:16You, you're just going to fucking lose like you lose everything else.
00:39:20Good luck.
00:39:32See that?
00:39:34That is a shameless whore.
00:39:36That woman seems familiar.
00:39:39Samantha, you don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:42All right, come on.
00:39:43Let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:39:45Let's go socialize.
00:39:46And maybe we'll run into the host of the party, lost in herself.
00:39:49And if we do, I'll make sure we're giving good a brush.
00:40:10So that pretty boy, Damien, actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:15Tonight we're going to see who's really on top.
00:40:18Okay.
00:40:19Manners, this is a public event.
00:40:21What?
00:40:23You've known me since we were kids.
00:40:24It's why would I pretend around you.
00:40:27But if you like glassy, I can do glassy.
00:40:31Oh, can you?
00:40:32You can do glassy?
00:40:33Yeah.
00:40:34Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:42I'll let you get to it.
00:40:46Sally?
00:41:04Julie.
00:41:07I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:09You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:13You know what?
00:41:15Mason Brooks, Amber Group's deputy VP of projects, already agreed to award the contract to Harper
00:41:20Enterprise.
00:41:22You can't win.
00:41:27I hear the Crescent Lake project is basically yours.
00:41:30Congratulations.
00:41:32Serena, you are the business queen of Wall Street.
00:41:34And with Damien backing you up, it's unstoppable.
00:41:37When the two of you take off, don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:40Of course.
00:41:41You know, we're going to take care of you guys.
00:41:42Thank you so much.
00:41:50See that, Julian?
00:41:52Everybody already knows that Crescent Lake belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:55I suggest you walk out of here before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:41:58It's funny.
00:42:00You see, my Clark Group has deeper capital, better tech, and a stronger global record than
00:42:05Harper Enterprise.
00:42:06So I'm just curious, why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:10He recognizes Damien's talent, of course.
00:42:17I need to take this.
00:42:28What century are you living in?
00:42:31You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:34Then what does?
00:42:36I ain't really that fucking stupid.
00:42:38Of course this.
00:42:41I paid Mason Brooks one million in crypto.
00:42:44What do you have that's going to be that?
00:42:48You paid Mason Brooks?
00:42:50That's impossible.
00:42:51He wouldn't dare.
00:42:52That's impossible.
00:42:53He wouldn't dare.
00:42:54Yeah, you want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart.
00:42:57But hey, you're a very lovely, beautiful escort.
00:43:01Why don't you do us all a favor?
00:43:02Get up on that stage and give us a nice little poll show.
00:43:05Hey, hey, I'm going to tell you, you want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:11Because every time I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune, capital technology is useless.
00:43:21Fucking trash.
00:43:24Mason Brooks, you've got a lot of nerve.
00:43:27He's finished.
00:43:28Mr. Brooks is finished.
00:43:30Who the fuck is this?
00:43:32Who are you?
00:43:33What do you think?
00:43:34You're the Amber Group CEO or something?
00:43:37Who gave you the fucking guts?
00:43:39It's adorable, no?
00:43:40Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:43:43Anti-anti-corruption?
00:43:45Hmm?
00:43:49Oh!
00:43:58What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:00Hmm?
00:44:00Oh!
00:44:03You hit me.
00:44:05You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:08I'm going to have Mason Brooks crush you with one phone call.
00:44:13There he is.
00:44:14Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:15You're finished.
00:44:18Mr. Brooks.
00:44:19They need my friend.
00:44:20There's a woman here.
00:44:22So she's going to report you.
00:44:23Come on, please, teach her less.
00:44:24Oh, report me?
00:44:26Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:27This woman right here.
00:44:32Miss Lawson?
00:44:32She's even quoted the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:36Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:37What?
00:44:38What?
00:44:42This can't be...
00:44:45Go ahead, laugh.
00:44:47Laugh some more.
00:44:48Are you insane, Damien?
00:44:50You'll say anything out loud.
00:44:51Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:44:52She's just some gold-dicking whore.
00:44:54I mean, even if she rats you out, who's going to believe this?
00:44:57Why are you hitting me?
00:44:59Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:01When did I ever take your money?
00:45:03I never took one cent.
00:45:04Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:07Idiots.
00:45:08Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:11Miss Lawson, this Damien, he's a lunatic.
00:45:14He's making things up.
00:45:16Don't listen to him.
00:45:16I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:20Not once.
00:45:23Miss Lawson?
00:45:26No, no, no, wait.
00:45:27You're Norah Lawson, Amber's group CEO?
00:45:30How is that possible?
00:45:31How is that fucking...
00:45:32Mr. Brooks!
00:45:33Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:35Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:39We promise we won't let you down.
00:45:43Stop!
00:45:44Shut the fuck up!
00:45:46When did I ever give you anything?
00:45:49Miss Lawson?
00:45:51These Harper Enterprise people, they're all out of their minds.
00:45:55They lie like the wind.
00:45:57I can't believe a word they say.
00:45:59Miss Lawson?
00:46:01Miss Lawson?
00:46:03She's Norah Lawson?
00:46:08The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:10Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:12You can leave now.
00:46:16Miss Lawson, I am so sorry.
00:46:19Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being inappropriate.
00:46:25I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:28He is blunt, yes.
00:46:30But his ability is exceptional.
00:46:34Please, give Harper Enterprise the contract, and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:46:41Exceptional ability?
00:46:43Are you sure about that?
00:46:45Of course.
00:46:46If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:46:51You're about to find out.
00:46:58Damien?
00:47:00What does she mean?
00:47:02Oh, shit.
00:47:03I can't let her find out I secured every project right.
00:47:07She's upset because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:09So she wants revenge.
00:47:11So she's going to embarrass Harper Enterprise in front of everyone.
00:47:13So what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:15Let's go.
00:47:16Go?
00:47:17If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:21Even if Miss Lawson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:25Serena, please!
00:47:26Okay?
00:47:26I'm sorry.
00:47:28Here we go now.
00:47:29All right?
00:47:30I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones.
00:47:31But we need to go now.
00:47:32Come on.
00:47:33What is wrong with you today?
00:47:35Are you hiding something from me?
00:47:37I...
00:47:49You want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart?
00:47:53Technology capital.
00:47:55Useless fucking trash.
00:47:58What?
00:47:59Shit!
00:47:59She actually recorded it?
00:48:01And escort.
00:48:02So why don't you do us all a nice little favor, get up on the stage, give us a nice
00:48:05little whole show.
00:48:09Who is that?
00:48:11He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:14That's Damien Blackwell, Harper Enterprise's executive assistant.
00:48:17How do you not know him?
00:48:18All of the best Amber projects being sent to Harper Enterprise over the past six months,
00:48:23and now we know they were bought.
00:48:27That's not true.
00:48:28All of that's a lie.
00:48:29All right, just don't, don't believe it, I, just turn it off, turn it off right now!
00:48:33Stop him!
00:48:35Let go of me!
00:48:37Damien, you did this behind my back?
00:48:40This is your talent?
00:48:41Your ability?
00:48:43Yes, Sermina, please just see us.
00:48:45Mr. Brooks' suspension?
00:48:46What a fucking fatigue, this is, this is, I mean, who are you to say anything?
00:48:50What do you think, your Amber Group CEO?
00:48:52Amber Group.
00:48:54Okay, okay, turn it off, please, okay?
00:48:56Okay, Ms. Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:48:58Just, please stop!
00:48:59Stop it! Please! Please!
00:49:01Bribery is one thing, but mistaking Ms. Lawson for an escort?
00:49:06A whore?
00:49:07He's fucking blind.
00:49:09The best part?
00:49:10He confessed right in front of her that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:14Genius!
00:49:15And Sermina trusted him to be her assistant?
00:49:17I mean, what does that say about her judgment?
00:49:20Damien, you have disappointed me beyond words.
00:49:24Sermina, I did it because I cared about you.
00:49:26Because I care about Harper Enterprise.
00:49:27Please, I'm happy to tell you the truth.
00:49:30Enough.
00:49:31Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:33Mason Brooks, you're fired.
00:49:35Effective immediately.
00:49:38I'm done.
00:49:40The Crescent Lake Project.
00:49:43Harper Enterprise is disqualified.
00:49:46Every single project Amber Group has done together with them will be suspended.
00:49:50The projects will be back for competitive bidding.
00:49:55No, no, you can't do that.
00:49:57Those projects are our next three years.
00:49:59They affect thousands of employees.
00:50:02Their lives are future.
00:50:03And why am the person who hired Trash and called it talent?
00:50:08Real talent.
00:50:15Pathetic.
00:50:21Sermina.
00:50:24Please, you gotta let me explain.
00:50:26Miss Lawson, wait.
00:50:28Sermina!
00:50:37I just avenged you in front of a lot of people.
00:50:40Asking for our dinner isn't too much, right?
00:50:43Not at all.
00:50:44You pick.
00:50:45My treat.
00:50:47Generous.
00:50:47Let's go.
00:50:48Time to rob the tycoon.
00:50:52Miss Lawson, Damien was wrong to bribe anyone, and I apologize on his behalf.
00:51:01Just please, give Harper Enterprise another chance.
00:51:05I will meet the highest standards.
00:51:07I will deliver a perfect result on every project.
00:51:11Perfect result?
00:51:12And what exactly guarantees that?
00:51:15Your empty suit assistant?
00:51:18Miss Lawson.
00:51:20Damien made a mistake.
00:51:23But his ability is exceptional.
00:51:26For six months, he managed every Harper Enterprise project flawlessly.
00:51:30No errors, no delays.
00:51:31If you don't pull this contract, I guarantee he will make sure you see his value.
00:51:40Managed flawlessly?
00:51:41He's not the only empty suit here.
00:51:44You're too.
00:51:46Miss Lawson, you are crossing a line.
00:51:51I understand that you and Julian are close, and you want to get back at me for him.
00:51:57But humiliating someone like this, isn't that a little cruel?
00:52:00You really think I froze our cooperation because Damien and Bribe Mason?
00:52:05Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:07For six months, Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted from Ember Group.
00:52:14For one reason, Julian Clark, Damien, has nothing to do with that.
00:52:22He was just a messenger boy who picked up the contracts.
00:52:25What?
00:52:26When Julian was there, bribe or no bribe, Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:32But now, Julian's gone, so the special treatment is gone.
00:52:38Damien's little arriving incident?
00:52:40It was just a convenient excuse to take everything back.
00:52:43Understand now?
00:52:48And about those flawless projects, Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly because Damien is brilliant.
00:52:55It ran smoothly because Julian called every partner, every supplier, every gatekeeper and cleared the path for you.
00:53:04Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:10No, that's not true. I don't believe it.
00:53:13You don't believe me?
00:53:14Then watch.
00:53:16Watch what happens when Julian leaves.
00:53:20Let's see if your exceptional Damien can keep everything perfect when Julian is not there to hold the world together
00:53:26for you.
00:53:28Come on, let's go.
00:53:37Julian, is what she's saying true?
00:53:40You were right about one thing, Serena.
00:53:43Julian and I are closer than you thought.
00:53:45That's why it disgusts me watching him waste his life away on a selfish and blind woman like you.
00:53:56Was I wrong?
00:53:57No, no, no, Serena, Serena, do not listen to her nonsense.
00:54:01Harper's success is based off of my hard work.
00:54:04Okay, Nora Lawson, she's just, she's attacking and slandering my name to defend.
00:54:09Julian, you have to believe me, please, you have to understand.
00:54:11Because of you, Crescent Lake is gone.
00:54:15Every Amber project is gone.
00:54:18Harper Enterprise is on the edge of collapse and you're asking me to trust you?
00:54:23How?
00:54:23Tell me how.
00:54:25Please, just listen to me.
00:54:27Okay, yeah, we lost Amber Group, but we're not finished.
00:54:31I mean, we still have the partners and the CEOs.
00:54:33I mean, they love me.
00:54:33They absolutely love and adore me.
00:54:36I promise.
00:54:37You know what?
00:54:37Matter of fact, I'm going to call and I'm going to get you some new projects right now.
00:55:09Hello, Mr. Foster.
00:55:10Julian Clark was in your damn enterprise.
00:55:13I was giving him respect.
00:55:15You don't flatter yourself, bunch of blind dumbasses.
00:55:19Call me again and I'll block your fucking number.
00:55:22So what really was Julian?
00:55:24No, no.
00:55:24That's not possible.
00:55:26I don't believe that.
00:55:28Hello, Mr. Parker.
00:55:30It's Damien.
00:55:30I was hoping to talk about future collaborations.
00:55:33Damien?
00:55:34You've got the fucking nerve to call me?
00:55:36I gave Harper Enterprise projects because of Mr. Clark.
00:55:40And then you turned around and claimed you closed the deal?
00:55:43Who gave you the audacity?
00:55:45Shameless trash?
00:55:50Miss Parker.
00:55:52Miss Parker.
00:55:52No.
00:55:53No.
00:55:53God damn it.
00:55:54No.
00:55:55I don't believe this.
00:55:57I don't believe this.
00:55:58Fucking Julian.
00:55:59This whole fucking time.
00:56:00God damn it.
00:56:01I'm sorry.
00:56:02I'm sorry.
00:56:02Um.
00:56:03Hello?
00:56:05Mr. Turner.
00:56:06It's Damien.
00:56:07Damien.
00:56:07Who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:09Calling me directly?
00:56:11Learned some manners.
00:56:13Julian was polite enough to tolerate you playing sideman with his fiancée.
00:56:17I'm not.
00:56:18You bastard too.
00:56:21Mr. Turner?
00:56:22Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:26What the fuck is happening?
00:56:34Miss Harper?
00:56:35This is bad.
00:56:37Our partners are flooding us with messages.
00:56:39They're suspending contracts, pulling out a deal.
00:56:42Wait.
00:56:42What is happening?
00:56:43They said before they only worked with Harper Enterprise because Julian Clark backed us.
00:56:48Now that he's gone, they don't trust us with their project.
00:56:51Julian.
00:56:53It's Julian again.
00:56:58So it's true.
00:57:00They only gave us deals because of Julian.
00:57:05Julian!
00:57:05No, no, no, no.
00:57:06Swina, please.
00:57:06Okay?
00:57:07They're just saying that because Julian has been paying them off.
00:57:10Think about it.
00:57:10Okay?
00:57:11You know what?
00:57:12Just give you some time and I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:14I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:15I swear.
00:57:16Get away from me!
00:57:18You liar.
00:57:19You fraud, Damien.
00:57:21All those CEOs.
00:57:24They only had you pick up contracts from them.
00:57:26And you told me you negotiated the deals.
00:57:30I swear.
00:57:30I didn't know that they wouldn't.
00:57:34Get out of my sight.
00:57:58Get out of my sight.
00:58:07Serena, you really thought you were smart.
00:58:11But you're really just pathetic trash.
00:58:16Without Julian, you're nothing.
00:58:28Dad warned you.
00:58:30Grandpa warned you.
00:58:32And you still wouldn't listen.
00:58:37You ignored everything Julian did and worshipped a con artist like Damien.
00:58:55And now look at you.
00:58:59Projects gone.
00:59:01Company collapsing.
00:59:05Idiot.
00:59:06You arrogant, stupid, idiot.
00:59:11I'm so stupid.
00:59:18Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:27I'm so sorry.
00:59:28I'm so sorry.
00:59:29Listen up.
00:59:31I know I messed up.
00:59:34I know I messed up.
00:59:35Oh!
00:59:39Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:42I know, I know I was wrong.
00:59:45Look.
00:59:45Always damn Julian!
00:59:48Julian.
00:59:51Come back, okay?
00:59:53Please come back.
00:59:59Damn back.
01:00:04You don't have to be scared
01:00:07Harper Enterprise is business, queen
01:00:09So much better than those cheap girls
01:00:11Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine
01:00:17Damien! You sick bastard!
01:00:20You sick bastard!
01:00:25You really mean it
01:00:26I love you
01:00:28You fucking...
01:00:29Get off me!
01:00:30I'm telling you the truth!
01:00:31I mean it!
01:00:32Okay?
01:00:32I promise
01:00:34I'll treat you well
01:00:38You fucking monster!
01:00:39Get off me, please!
01:00:42I'm begging you, don't!
01:00:43Please, please, please, say yes
01:00:45What did I do?
01:00:50Help me!
01:00:51Help me!
01:00:53I tried being nice to you, I fucking tried!
01:00:56But you keep fighting me back
01:00:57Help!
01:00:57Help!
01:00:58Help!
01:00:58Help!
01:00:59Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:00Keep fucking screaming!
01:01:02Right?
01:01:04You're not gonna say no
01:01:06I'm gonna fuck you
01:01:07Help!
01:01:09Help!
01:01:11Julian!
01:01:12Julian!
01:01:13Help!
01:01:14Help!
01:01:16Get him out of here!
01:01:18Stop!
01:01:18Let me go!
01:01:20Julian, you know this wasn't the fucking place
01:01:21This isn't over
01:01:27Julian!
01:01:29Thank god you came and you had like-
01:01:35I was just passing through, I heard some screaming so I stopped by to check
01:01:39You!
01:01:39I want you to call the Harper family
01:01:42Tell them to come pick her up
01:01:43Yes, sir

01:01:47I am sorry!
01:01:49I know!
01:01:50I was wrong!

01:02:06Serena
01:02:08I told you
01:02:10Over and over and over again
01:02:14That Damien was not a good man
01:02:17And you refused to listen
01:02:21And Julian, if Julian doesn't come along
01:02:23Just at the right time
01:02:25Oh my god
01:02:27I can't even...
01:02:28I can't even think about it
01:02:30If you don't do something about that stubborn part of yours
01:02:32One day
01:02:34You will live to regret it
01:02:36Dad, Grandpa, please
01:02:37Stop!
01:02:38I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:41I'll...
01:02:42I'll apologize
01:02:44To Julian
01:02:45And...
01:02:46I will follow through with the engagement
01:02:49The problem with that is that you may feel that way
01:02:53But Julian might not
01:02:56Grandpa...
01:02:57Don't worry
01:02:59I will apologize properly
01:03:02And I will earn his forgiveness

01:12:41hey
01:12:41hey
01:12:46what is it?
01:12:48Uh, it's nothing. Come on, dinner's almost ready.
01:13:04Dad! The Harpers!
01:13:07My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:12For a young one,
01:13:14it's six months at Harper Enterprise.
01:13:16Dad, it was a total humiliation.
01:13:20We've shown the Harpers more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:26Understood, Dad.
01:13:35Okay, enough, Serena. Stop.
01:13:37You can't drink this away.
01:13:39Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:13:42If you don't get up, it's over.
01:13:46Just leave me the fuck alone.
01:13:48Okay? Just let me drink.
01:13:50I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:52I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:13:54No, you...
01:13:57Alright, I've got to take this. Don't move.
01:14:00I'll be right back and then I am taking you home.
01:14:03No.
01:14:11Nora.
01:14:15Okay, Nora. Be honest.
01:14:17You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:20You just got engaged and you're getting married next week?
01:14:24Let's see.
01:14:25You've known Julian for 20 plus years.
01:14:28You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:14:30I've liked Julian for 20 years and I finally got him to say yes.
01:14:35You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:14:37Lock it down from what?
01:14:38From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:14:40They're collapsing and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:14:44I have to move fast.
01:14:46If they start begging, what if Julian hesitates?
01:14:52But Julian and Serena were forced into that.
01:14:55There's no real love.
01:14:56Why will Julian hesitate?
01:14:58What are you afraid of?
01:15:00You don't get it.
01:15:01Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:15:05and it wasn't just because his grandfather would do it.
01:15:08Then why?
01:15:10Because Serena is his type.
01:15:15Wait, what?
01:15:18I am Julian's type?
01:15:22No way!
01:15:23I'm serious.
01:15:25The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:15:27That exact time.
01:15:29I mean, with his personality,
01:15:32even if his grandfather forced him,
01:15:34he would have stayed there for three days max
01:15:36and then vanished.
01:15:38He would not stay there
01:15:39and take six months of humiliation
01:15:42if he didn't want it.
01:15:43That's Julian Clark.
01:15:46So that's why?
01:15:48Serena must have destroyed him.
01:15:49I have to get married fast.
01:15:52I cannot give her a single chance.
01:15:55So that's what it was.
01:15:56Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:15:59because I'm his type.
01:16:00He likes me.
01:16:01That means I still have a chance.
01:16:04I still have a chance.
01:16:06This is my last shot.
01:16:08I am not wasting it.
01:16:16Where is she?
01:16:23Ladies and gentlemen,
01:16:24let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:39Wow, they look perfect together.
01:16:42They're childhood sweethearts.
01:16:44The whole fantasy.
01:16:45Oh my God, brilliant.
01:16:48And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:03Wait!
01:17:10Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:35Julian, I know you like me.
01:17:38You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise
01:17:40for six months humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:46I know.
01:17:47I was wrong.
01:17:49Totally wrong.
01:17:49Okay?
01:17:50Just please,
01:17:51give me another chance.
01:17:56Our engagement is over.
01:17:58In fact, you were the one that called it off.
01:18:01Look, this is my wedding.
01:18:03Have some dignity.
01:18:04In fact, can we get her out of here, please?
01:18:06No, please.
01:18:07No, please.
01:18:08I'll do anything.
01:18:09Just stop.
01:18:14I know you hate me
01:18:16because I rejected you 37 times,
01:18:19but I'll make it up to you.
01:18:22I'll chase you 37 times, 370 times,
01:18:26whatever it did.
01:18:27Enough.
01:18:28Can we please get her out?
01:18:29No, don't touch me.
01:18:31Julian, what do you want from me?
01:18:33I know you like me.
01:18:34So why won't you give me another chance?
01:18:37Why?
01:18:42Simple question.
01:18:43Do you love me?
01:18:47I...
01:18:48Exactly.
01:18:48You don't.
01:18:50You didn't realize you made a mistake.
01:18:52You realized that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:18:55See, what you want is not a chance,
01:18:57but a tool.
01:18:59You want me back
01:19:00so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:04No, that...
01:19:05That's not true.
01:19:07Just please.
01:19:09Listen.
01:19:10Please, listen.
01:19:11Enough.
01:19:11Serena.
01:19:12When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise,
01:19:13do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:17Let me ask you this.
01:19:19If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed,
01:19:21if your value kept climbing,
01:19:23would you still be here standing in front of me today?
01:19:28I...
01:19:28I...
01:19:28No, I...
01:19:29No, you wouldn't.
01:19:30You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:31You'd be celebrating.
01:19:33You'd say that you earned the business queen a crown.
01:19:35You'd be mocking me, calling me pathetic.
01:19:38You'd say that firing me was the best decision you ever made.
01:19:40Plus, you'd still be with that asshole, Damien.
01:19:43No.
01:19:44No, Julian.
01:19:45That...
01:19:46That's not me.
01:19:48And I...
01:19:48Just admit it, Serena.
01:19:50You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:52But on my wedding day, you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:19:55Why?
01:19:56Because you want me back as your lifeline.
01:19:58Your donor.
01:19:59Your...
01:20:00Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:02But the moment I stop being useful,
01:20:04you will kick me away again without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:07No.
01:20:09No, Julian.
01:20:11That is not true.
01:20:12The night that you saved me from Damien, I...
01:20:17I felt something for you.
01:20:19I... I did.
01:20:20Stop.
01:20:20Do not perform at my wedding.
01:20:23You don't regret hurting me.
01:20:24You regret choosing the wrong man.
01:20:26You regret that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:20:29You know, I'll admit,
01:20:30when I met you,
01:20:32you were exactly my type.
01:20:35But once I got to know you,
01:20:37once I realized what you really are,
01:20:39all I felt was disgust.
01:20:43But Nora...
01:20:46She has cared for me since we were kids.
01:20:50When I was sick,
01:20:52she stayed up all night taking care of me.
01:20:55When I was at my lowest,
01:20:56she pulled me back up.
01:20:58Even when I went back to Harper Enterprise on the engagement,
01:21:02she still supported me.
01:21:04She still took hits from me.
01:21:09So, let me ask you.
01:21:12Why would I give up all of that for you?
01:21:16What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:21Julia?
01:21:23Get her out.
01:21:24No, no.
01:21:25No, please don't, Julian.
01:21:27Don't, don't, don't.
01:21:28I'm begging you.
01:21:29Just please let me explain.
01:21:31Please.
01:21:32Please.
01:21:32Please stop.
01:21:33Let me go.
01:21:34Julian, please don't do it.
01:21:36Crashing a wedding like that?
01:21:38I thought she actually loved him.
01:21:40Turns out,
01:21:41she just realized,
01:21:42without Julian,
01:21:43she can't stay on top.
01:21:44She used Julian's feelings like a weapon,
01:21:46totally vampire-drained and dry.
01:21:48It's just always fine.
01:21:48All right!
01:21:49All right!
01:22:14Let's go!
01:22:17Come on!
01:22:18Mr. Clark!
01:22:36I'm sure you've all heard.
01:22:39Harper Enterprise, effective today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:43So, we're all being terminated.
01:22:46Are you wanting?
01:22:48Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:22:50I've given this company 15 years. You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:22:5515 years, wow. Congratulations.
01:22:58You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:04You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:07We've seen how you all work.
01:23:08Mr. Clark, bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud.
01:23:18Who do you want to be able to smile?
01:23:20So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms.
01:23:24And once you sign them, hand over your badges, or you're going to rob them.
01:23:30This, this is it.
01:23:47Are you satisfied now?
01:23:50Satisfied?
01:23:51Thomas went to my grandfather.
01:23:53He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:23:58I saved you.
01:24:01Julian.
01:24:04If I didn't treat you the way I did, would any of this be different?
01:24:18Julian, why don't you get thrown away and still land something better?
01:24:21I spent my whole life climbing upwards and now I'm stuck at the bottom.
01:24:24Hunted by cops. I won't accept it.
01:24:28Julian, what's yours?
01:24:29Julian!
01:24:34Let me go! Fucking let me go!
01:24:36I already spared you. You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:40Yo, take him to the police. Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:42I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:44Fucking coward. You're a fucking coward!
01:24:46Hiding behind your goddamn family's money.
01:24:48No, no, fight me. 101! 101! Let the guards go!
01:24:51You're a- you don't have the fucking guts to you!
01:24:57Hey, Julian. What was that?
01:25:00Just staking out the trash.
01:25:03Are you done here?
01:25:03Julian?
01:25:05No. Let's go.
01:25:13I was wrong! Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:18Shit!
