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 argumentation.
00:00:11Help you up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:14Help you up here, I'm drowning.
00:00:16Help you up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:21No, you have to.
00:00:22I need you to buy the stock, alright?
00:00:23You gotta do it now.
00:00:26This isn't some random dip.
00:00:27Whoever's shorting us came prepared. They're tearing us apart.
00:00:30We can't hold the line.
00:00:31We're about to become the laughing stock of Wall Street.
00:00:33No, no, we're not finished.
00:00:36We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:41The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:46Julian, 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.
00:01:22The 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.
00:01:47Hello.
00:02:12Today, Damien successfully neutralized the short attack against Harper and helped push
00:02:17our stock back up. Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:27Since when does Damien know how to take over from a hole in the ground? He must have stole this
00:02:31wing from someone else. Remember what he did to Anthony from investments? Damien took credit
00:02:36for his deal. Anthony pushed back and Damien used this pool of Serena to get him fired.
00:02:45Hello? Is there a problem? Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the fire,
00:02:52the least that every single one of you could do. Damien.
00:02:56Of course. Questions? I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:08Julian, our company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:14Keep sharing. I'm listening.
00:03:18This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:22Wait, I'm sorry everyone. I forgot. You're just the resident good for nothing. My strategy is you
00:03:29probably 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? And what was their distinct objective? And what
00:03:46specifically was their entry strategy? Doesn't matter. What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:51You can't even name your enemy? All right, fine. Next question. Which firms did you guys recruit as
00:03:57white knights? And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:01Well, uh, well, um, well, I, uh, well...
00:04:07Well, you can't even name the basics. All right. So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a
00:04:12cross-functional war room, the countermeasures for a potential proxy fight, or which SEC clauses
00:04:17could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:21Let's be real. You are nothing but a glory hound who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees the real.
00:04:38You, a useless, game-addicted, fucking loser, dare to question me? You know what, Clark? You're
00:04:44fucking fired! Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:57You hear that, Dad? I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:03Understood. Now, the hearing's not enough. I 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. You prove everything that
00:05:20needs to be proved. Now, uh, time to think about your marriage. Harper's, uh, old friends, good staff,
00:05:28Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper. What you're talking about is marrying me off to some
00:05:34stranger. Feelings could grow, Brat. Our families go way better. Your marriage will definitely be a
00:05:40happy one. My life, my choice. Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that
00:05:45-
00:05:45Enough! Oh, that's it. You're going to do this. I've already arranged everything. You're starting with
00:05:51the Harper Family Company today. Go work with Serena and date her properly, hmm?
00:06:00You refuse. Okay. Nurse, Dr. Ann, check it out. My own grandson won't listen. What's the point?
00:06:07Okay. Let the heart attack take me now. Okay, all right. I'll go.
00:06:12I know you're asking. For years, you've carried this family on your back. We have more now than we ever
00:06:20to the Harper's. The Harper's. They're in trouble. We do not abandon our own. Use that brilliant head of yours
00:06:29and help them.
00:06:31Please, for me. Fine. I'll do it. I hear you. Thank you.
00:06:45For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked, using every resource, every contact to help her.
00:06:50I pulled Harper Enterprise from the brink of bankruptcy and made it soar. I made Serena
00:06:55Harper the queen of this city's business world. And for what? So she could give my triumphs and
00:07:00victories to that sycophant Damien. It's time to come home. You asked for my opinion and you couldn't
00:07:12handle it. So pathetic. I said you're fired. Get your shit and get the fuck out of my door.
00:07:19I heard you. I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay and then I'm gone. I said now
00:07:24or
00:07:24I'm gonna call security. You're gonna drag your ass out. Suit yourself. Julian, this is Harper
00:07:31Enterprise, not your family's playground. Your grandfather has no authority here. You will leave.
00:07:38Now, do not disrupt this company any further. Serena, is that really the best play you want
00:07:43to make here? I will not repeat it. And do not force me to make a scene. You know what,
00:07:47Serena?
00:07:48Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:56You don't push your luck, Clark. The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the
00:08:00first place is because of your dusty fucking engagement to Serena. And you have the audacity
00:08:05to act all high and mighty? You're fucking nothing. You're a little trust fund entitled piece of
00:08:11shit baby. I mean, even your Beyonce is telling you to get lost. So why don't you do yourself a
00:08:15goddamn favor and get lost before I fucking do what? You're broken. You're broke my petite.
00:08:28You know how much this costs? You fucking asshole. A hundred thousand dollars.
00:08:34We lost your balance. Maybe work on your course room. Julian, that is enough.
00:08:39Disrupting proceedings? Assault? Destruction of property? As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm
00:08:46terminating your employment. Effective immediately. Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:51Serena, he broke my watch. The gift you got me for my birthday, he has to pay for it. Okay,
00:08:55you got two options, asshole. Either pay up or I swear you're going to rot in jail.
00:09:03Fine. I'll pay. Is it a hundred thousand dollars? What one hundred thousand dollars? It's a million.
00:09:11A million for that. It's a gift from Serena. It's priceless. A million dollars being generous.
00:09:16You could fucking ask anyone in this room, huh? A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:21He does have a point card. You break it, you buy it. That's the rule. Though on your salary,
00:09:26might take a few lifetimes. Well, you gonna wire me the money? Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:38And if
00:09:38so, you can crawl out of here and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you. So what
00:09:44if you're
00:09:45Serena's fiance? Look at her now. She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward. A million dollars.
00:09:53You want the final offer? What do you mean?
00:10:00Hi, I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters. Thank you.
00:10:18You just called for a million dollars in cash? Like a stakeout? What's next? A private army?
00:10:27All right, Julian. The charade ends now. Leave the company and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:31But our family's engagement is over. We are done. Are you sure? Whoa, whoa. You heard that, Julian?
00:10:39Your engagement's over. Now get out before I throw you- Get your hands off me!
00:10:47Put your fucking hands on me. You know what? I'm gonna wipe that smug- FUCKING LOOK OFF YOUR FACE!
00:10:56Enough!
00:11:01Mr. Brooks!
00:11:04That's David Brooks. President of Harveyview Bank. What's a Wall Street Titan doing on a conference?
00:11:09Do you think he has to do with the hundred million loan? It can't be.
00:11:12That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:17Mr. Clark. The one million. As requested.
00:11:42Mr. Brooks, personally delivering cash? To Julian? Wait, the money is, it's real? Wait,
00:11:52delivered by Mr. Brooks? I mean, wait, who are you?
00:12:01Mr. Brooks, sir. We are so honored by your visit. My grandfather, he speaks of you often. I'm sure he'd
00:12:14love 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.
00:12:33Mr. Brooks. A company? Where executives throw chairs during a meeting? Unprofessional.
00:12:39I'm suspending the hundred million dollar deal. We'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision.
00:12:45Yes, sir.
00:12:46Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:50Damien messed up such a huge loan. Let's see him explain this to the chairman. The chairman will have his
00:12:55head.
00:12:57This is all your fault, all right? You gotta fix this. You call him back here and get that loan
00:13:01reinstated,
00:13:01or I swear I'm gonna... You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:05As for us...
00:13:09One million. In full. Which makes this watch...
00:13:16It's mine. You arrogant. Son of a bitch!
00:13:24I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it? I bet you had to sell your house
00:13:27to scrape this
00:13:28together, you fucking loser. But it's all mine now. Yeah, sure. The debt for the watch is
00:13:37settled. But can we talk about compensation for my laptop? That useless piece of junk,
00:13:41how much could that possibly be worth? Oh, I don't know. Maybe about a hundred million?
00:13:47A hundred million dollars!
00:13:51For a laptop? Have you lost your mind?
00:13:56A hundred million. For a laptop. Julian. The law requires compensation for actual value. What
00:14:03you're committing is extortion. That's illegal. So, him extorting me for a million was legal then,
00:14:09right? By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago? Huh? That's a kisser.
00:14:14Enough! Julian. You know, I know you think you're right. What? A stellar laptop costs a few thousand
00:14:22dollars? A hundred million dollars? I... Dream on. Sure. A standard stellar isn't worth that much,
00:14:30but this isn't a standard. What is it, made of gold? Even then, it still would
00:14:34cost a hundred million fucking dollars. You know what? You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:46Mr. Sullivan! That's Billy Sullivan, SVP for Stellar. Here? You think it's about the 300 million
00:14:53dollar part in each year, dude? 300 million? That's huge for us, but pocket change for Stellar.
00:14:58Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person? Mr. Sullivan? Uh, what an unexpected honor. I'm
00:15:04Sabrina Harper, uh, CEO. Do what do we owe the... Mr. Clark, the security have detected an urgent
00:15:10impact alert from your device, and the signal originated here. We were concerned for your
00:15:15safety and care immediately. Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian, too? Because his laptop impact
00:15:20triggered an alarm? Unbelievable. Mr. Clark, are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine. It just took a fall.
00:15:28God, this damage is significant. With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate,
00:15:35this could be 30 million.
00:15:3930 million dollars? No, no, no, no, to fix a fucking laptop? That's impossible! There's no way!
00:15:45Are you questioning me? No, I just... I'll open your eyes. This is a one-off laptop with Stellar's quantum
00:15:51processors and proprietary components. You better pray that those data partitions are intact, or that
00:15:56compensation will ruin you. I just had the critical, critical data corruption here. It's highly
00:16:02confidential files, high market value. I mean, with our declarations, this is at least 70 million dollars.
00:16:11Mr. Clark has the data on his laptop registered with monetary values to the security division. All
00:16:19damages to our fullest extent. Here. Receipts for the hardware and the notarized value declarations for
00:16:26the data, see for yourself. Who carries around a hundred million dollar laptop?
00:16:43Who exactly are you? You don't get to know. In 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. You know what?
00:16:53This is a fucking scam. These two, they're working together. I'm telling you, it's a con.
00:16:57Are you serious? I'm Blake Sullivan. I'm the senior vice president of Stellar. I don't fly across the
00:17:03city of Skim and nobody like you. Listen, I'm so... Ms. Harper, this is the employee you hire. He's a
00:17:10fool.
00:17:11And it speaks volumes about your company's judgment. Oh, by the way, our partnership deal? Consider it
00:17:17terminated. What? Um, Mr. Sullivan, please. Damien is just... He's stressed. He didn't mean...
00:17:25Save it. You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first. And you, if you dispute evaluations, we can
00:17:31settle it in court. My legal team has 965 lawyers. I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:40Stellar's legal team is legendary. He never laws. Damien can't fight this. Hell, the entire Harper
00:17:47Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this. He's done for.
00:17:53Swimming up now. Please.
00:17:59Please.
00:18:02Mr. Sullivan, Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation. Will that suffice?
00:18:08I'm just here to certify facts. You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:15Full payment, in my account, within three days.
00:18:20In that case, we're done here. Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else?
00:18:25I'll do.
00:18:27Mr. Sullivan, are our partners...
00:18:28Ms. Harper, get your house in order first. Stellar has standards. We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:35That'll be all. Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:37That's funny. Damien's lucky, huh? A hundred million on the line and you swoop in the cover for him.
00:18:44You know, I just hope that your father and your grandfather are as generous as you are.
00:18:50Whether her father or Chairman Harper approve is none of your goddamn business. We don't need someone like you worrying
00:18:56about it.
00:18:56He's right. Julian, I give you my word. The full amount will be paid within three days, but under one
00:19:02condition.
00:19:04Our engagement ends for good. And you will leave Harper Enterprise. Now.
00:19:10You hear that, Julian?
00:19:12You know, I'll admit it. Yeah, you got the money, but it's not about what you made. It's your family's
00:19:15fucking money.
00:19:16And now you're just a spoiled little trust fund baby who's been fired. So get the fuck out!
00:19:21Get the fuck out? One of us just torpedoed a hundred million dollar loan and a three hundred million dollar
00:19:28deal.
00:19:29Remind me, which one of us should actually get the fuck out? Serena, I think it is actually time to
00:19:34call your grandfather.
00:19:34He could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:39Stop! Stop!
00:19:45This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper. Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:19:52Funny. Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill. Remind me, which one of us is the real boy
00:19:58toy?
00:20:00You.
00:20:11Get the fuck out!
00:20:12Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have. This is Harper Enterprise. I'm the one in
00:20:19charge here.
00:20:21Security, remove him.
00:20:25Julian, please, don't make us get physical. I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in. You really want to lay
00:20:30hands on me?
00:20:32Chairman Harper brought you in? Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:38Who do you think you are? You think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:41Julian, I've already given you more courtesy than you deserve. The more you cling on like this, the more disgusting
00:20:46you become to me.
00:20:49Do it.
00:20:52Looks like I won't need that phone call.
00:20:54Still running your mouth, huh?
00:20:56Luke, get him the fuck out of here.
00:21:02What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:04What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:06Stand down! All of you!
00:21:08You, out of here. Now!
00:21:10Dad? Grandpa? What are you doing here?
00:21:18Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's gone on today.
00:21:23I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:28Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:30What? Chairman 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!
00:21:51Sweet.
00:21:53How dare you disrespect Julian?
00:21:55Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has. You can't just hit people.
00:21:59I wish we hit him more.
00:22:01Serena, do you even have any idea who Julian Clark is?
00:22:05We didn't tell you everything because of your ego.
00:22:08And I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:22:09We're going to announce everything once the engagement was formally set.
00:22:13But who knew?
00:22:15Serena, you've been blind.
00:22:17Julian is...
00:22:18Thomas, you can't force something that isn't there.
00:22:21No real feelings, no need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:24Julian, please understand.
00:22:26All of this is on us.
00:22:29Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harper family.
00:22:33Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:38I apologize to Julian, now!
00:22:40No!
00:22:41I don't care who you are, Julian.
00:22:44To me, you're still just a spoiled brat who thinks of himself as some sort of genius.
00:22:49But in reality, all you know is playing video games.
00:22:54I see right through you, and I will not apologize to you!
00:22:59Serena, enough!
00:23:00Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:02Let me apologize.
00:23:03Save it.
00:23:05If Serena can't manage an apology herself, then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:12I issue my order.
00:23:14To spend all support for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:17Cease every protective measure, effective immediately!
00:23:20Julian, please, don't!
00:23:21Without you, this place doesn't survive!
00:23:24Look!
00:23:26Oh!
00:23:27What?
00:23:30What?
00:23:32Oh, I guess you would have just pulled the orders!
00:23:35What 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 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,
00:23:58leaving the group facing massive losses.
00:24:01Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:05Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:07Why did Harper Enterprise suddenly lose power?
00:24:10What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:14How is that possible?
00:24:16Are you attacking the company?
00:24:18No 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!
00:24:30Miss 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 gap!
00:24:37If it's continuous, 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?
00:24:48I won't accept this!
00:24:49I won't!
00:24:50Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?
00:24:55Apologize to Julian!
00:24:57No!
00:25:02Serena, apologize!
00:25:05Serena, Serena, do not apologize!
00:25:18Harper Enterprise is worth hundreds of billions of dollars!
00:25:20Do you 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!
00:25:32It's not your fucking fault!
00:25:33You apologize to Julian right now!
00:25:36Get on your knees!
00:25:37Dad!
00:25:39Damien!
00:25:39Damien!
00:25:41Dad, stop!
00:25:42Damien has only ever stood up for me!
00:25:44He is the only one who actually cares about me and I won't let you treat him like this!
00:25:47Stay 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!
00:26:04And 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!
00:26:15He 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?
00:26:28Yeah, 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.
00:26:36I have asked you out 37 times!
00:26:39Because I thought we should at least get to know each other!
00:26:41Every time I have asked you out, you said, I'm too busy with work.
00:26:46But that wasn't the truth.
00:26:47The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant.
00:26:51Listen to him and sing your praises, right?!
00:26:55Who's that?
00:26:56Oh, let me guess.
00:26:57Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:02Just ignore him.
00:27:03Is 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.
00:27:25I can see whoever I want.
00:27:27Serena, shut up!
00:27:29No, I am not done!
00:27:31Damien has worked himself to the bone!
00:27:34He is driven and disciplined, 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 the 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?
00:28:17That was Julian!
00:28:19Julian is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together!
00:28:24Serena!
00:28:25No, that is impossible!
00:28:28I don't believe it!
00:28:39Hey, hi's up Serena!
00:28:40In the past six months, I've called in 47 separate connections
00:28:44and cleared a path for you.
00:28:45Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange!
00:28:47And you know, I've made you Wall Street's business queen!
00:28:50That's Iron Gate, North Bridge, and even Silver Line!
00:28:53Those are all the top 50 global giants!
00:28:55What? They've all been begging us behind the scenes?
00:28:57No wonder every project went so smoothly!
00:29:00Julian's the one with this kind of network!
00:29:02Damien's got some nerves stealing credit for something like this!
00:29:05That's a death wish!
00:29:09No, no, no, it'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 period fool!
00:29:19Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:28All right, that's enough.
00:29:31I finally got the all clear for my grandfather, and I can go home.
00:29:34So as of right now, our engagement is terminated.
00:29:37Julian, all of this has been our fault, but the engagement...
00:29:42Let him go! I don't need a fiancé who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:49Without my connections and my network,
00:29:52Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling,
00:29:54and it's going to go right back to where it was six months ago.
00:29:58Wait, wait, wait!
00:29:59Wait, wait!
00:30:01Prepare yourselves.
00:30:02Julian, Julian!
00:30:04Julian!
00:30:05Julian!
00:30:09Serena, you silly, foolish, foolish girl!
00:30:13Grandpa, I have never been clearer.
00:30:16With or without him, I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:19Serena's right. Mr. 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! I'm going to beat the crap out of you once and for all!
00:30:30Dad, that is enough!
00:30:33Dad? Grandpa?
00:30:35I know you have your issues with Damien,
00:30:37but I believe he will prove himself to you, and 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!
00:30:56You!
00:30:56God, tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:04Serena, Serena!
00:31:06Don't even worry about that.
00:31:07I know our Enterprise took a huge hit today,
00:31:09but as long as we lock down Amber Group's Crescent Lake project,
00:31:12change the game, and everyone will still think that we're in control.
00:31:15Easy.
00:31:17The three billion dollar 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,
00:31:29and I'm going to put this one in your hands, too.
00:31:32It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:33No, no, absolutely. You can count on me.
00:31:35Amber Group's deputy VP of projects, I mean, he trusts me clearly.
00:31:40He else has been his eyes.
00:31:49Get the Crescent Lake contract ready.
00:31:51Same as always.
00:31:52Once the Harper team arrives, we hand it straight to them.
00:31:55Ms. Lawson, we just got an update.
00:31:57Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise.
00:31:59The engagement is off. Serena fired him and ended it.
00:32:05Are you sure?
00:32:07Absolutely.
00:32:08Word is she listened to her assistant Damien, who really stirred the pot,
00:32:11and then Serena personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:14Serena really thinks she got where she was because of Damien?
00:32:16That's for you, little lap dog?
00:32:19Then do we still hand the Crescent Lake project over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:23Without Julian, Harper Enterprise really thinks it's worthy of Crescent Lake?
00:32:28Not a chance. Open it to public bidding.
00:32:31Yes, ma'am.
00:32:39Now that is an amazing shot, Mr. Brooks.
00:32:42Damien, Crescent Lake's public bid is coming up soon.
00:32:46How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:02Damien, what does this mean, huh?
00:33:04Mr. Brooks, why don't you do yourself a favor and take a closer look?
00:33:09That's one million in clean crypto, untraceable.
00:33:14Harper Enterprise is totally prepared to take on Crescent Lake.
00:33:18We just need you to give us a little extra attention.
00:33:21Oh my, Damien, you're too kind.
00:33:25Sure, it's a public bidding on paper, but as long as I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about.
00:33:33Sit tight.
00:33:35Contract's yours.
00:33:38Miss Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway.
00:33:44Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:33:46Miss Larson.
00:34:13Well, um, Prince Julian, I heard Serena kicked you out, six months of hard work, down the
00:34:23drain.
00:34:24What does that feel?
00:34:26Oh, I see, so you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit, is that right?
00:34:32Of course.
00:34:36I'm here to steal you.
00:34:39You see, since your engagement is off, I was thinking, how about you consider me, huh?
00:34:50Guys like us, we don't get to escape alliances.
00:34:54Our families will bear us off either way, so why pick a stranger when there's someone
00:35:01who actually loves you?
00:35:04You see?
00:35:06Childhood friends, same circles, 15 years of school.
00:35:12We match, you know?
00:35:16We fit.
00:35:17What?
00:35:18What?
00:35:18Hang on.
00:35:19Nora, you're, are you saying this because you're drunk or do you-
00:35:22Shh.
00:35:25Ch-ch-ch.
00:35:30I'm not drunk, okay?
00:35:32You don't have to answer me tonight.
00:35:35Just, think about it.
00:35:37Mm-hm.
00:35:45I don't know.
00:36:07I told you, I'm not drunk.
00:36:10All right, your swimsuit fell off.
00:36:12Oh, shit.
00:36:14I'm drunk.
00:36:16All right, your swimsuit fell off.
00:36:18Oh, shit.
00:36:19I'm drunk.
00:36:35Miss Lawson, Amber Group's distinguished CEO.
00:36:38Allow 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 got caught in a scandal at a pool party?
00:37:05Rumor can boost my company's visibility,
00:37:08but I'm not letting the pictures of my breast go through.
00:37:12Okay, okay.
00:37:16But if you stay through to me like this for the rest of the night,
00:37:23I think my heart's going to skip on its chest.
00:37:37And suffer, okay?
00:37:40If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:49Please, please.
00:37:52Walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:07Speak of the devil.
00:38:08Of 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.
00:38:27Oh, well, 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?
00:38:44I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:38:46Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here,
00:38:48she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:38:52Pouring herself out like this?
00:38:55It's been a ball dicker.
00:38:56Is that so?
00:38:58You know, I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Crescent Lake project.
00:39:06What, you're bidding too?
00:39:07Yeah, I know you've got connection, and that's great, you know.
00:39:09But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:12Me, I got real talent, all right?
00:39:13And I'm going to win Crescent Lake 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, and 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 going to go to 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.
00:40:25Why would I pretend around you?
00:40:27But if you like classy, I can do classy.
00:40:31Oh, can you?
00:40:32Yeah.
00:40:32You can do classy?
00:40:34Yeah.
00:40:34Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:42I'll let you get to it.
00:40:46I'll let you get to it.
00:41:04Julian.
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.
00:41:23You 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, and 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.
00:41:51See 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.
00:41:59It's funny.
00:42:00You see, my Clark Group has deeper capital, better tech, and a stronger global record than
00:42:05Harper Enterprise, so I'm just curious.
00:42:08Why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:10He recognizes Damien's talent, of course.
00:42:17I need to take this.
00:42:25My Julian.
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?
00:42:36Ain'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 there?
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, get up on that stage, and give us a nice little poll
00:43:05show.
00:43:05Hey.
00:43:06Hey, I'm going to tell you, you want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:12Because 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 in there.
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.
00:43:44Anti-anti-anti-corruption?
00:43:58What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:00Hmm?
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.
00:44:19You're going to be my friend.
00:44:21There's a woman here.
00:44:22I said she's going to report to you.
00:44:23Come on, please, teach her a lesson.
00:44:24Oh, report me?
00:44:26Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:27This woman right here.
00:44:32Miss Lawson?
00:44:33She's even quoted the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:36Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:38What?
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?
00:44:58Why 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.
00:45:05Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:07Idiot!
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.
00:45:17I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:20Not once!
00:45:23Miss Lawson?
00:45:26No, no, wait.
00:45:27You're Nora Lawson, Amber's group CEO?
00:45:30How is that possible?
00:45:32How 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?
00:45:50Miss 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 Nora 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.
00:46:20Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being, um, inappropriate.
00:46:25Um, but I'll, I'll make him apologize, right now.
00:46:28He is blunt, yes, but 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, so, she wants revenge.
00:47:11So, so, so, so she's gonna 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.
00:47:16Uh, go?
00:47:17If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:22Even if Miss Lawson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her for-
00:47:25Serena, please!
00:47:26Okay, I'm sorry.
00:47:28Here we go now.
00:47:29All right, I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones, but 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-
00:47:50You want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart?
00:47:54Technology capital.
00:47:56Useless fucking trash.
00:47:58What?
00:47:59Shit, she actually recorded it?
00:48:01And escort.
00:48:02So, why don't you do us all a nice little favor?
00:48:04Get up on that stage, give us a nice little poll 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.
00:48:29Just don't-
00:48:30Just don't believe it.
00:48:31I-
00:48:31Just turn it off.
00:48:32Turn 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, Serena, please just see us.
00:48:45Mr. Brooks' response.
00:48:46What a fucking routine.
00:48:47Listen to Samuel.
00:48:48Who are you to say anything?
00:48:50What do you think, your Amber group CEO?
00:48:52Amber group.
00:48:54Okay, turn it off, please.
00:48:56Okay, okay.
00:48:56Miss Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:48:58Just, please stop it!
00:48:59Please!
00:49:00Please!
00:49:02Bribery is one thing, but mistaking Miss Lawson for an escort?
00:49:06A whore?
00:49:08He'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 Serena 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.
00:49:24Serena, I did it because I cared about you.
00:49:26Because I care about Harper Enterprise.
00:49:28Please, I'm happy.
00:49:28I'm telling you the truth.
00:49:29Enough.
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.
00:50:00They affect thousands of employees.
00:50:02Their lives are future.
00:50:04And why am the person who hired Trash and called it talent?
00:50:08Real talent.
00:50:16Pathetic.
00:50:21Serena.
00:50:24Please, you gotta let me explain.
00:50:27Miss Lawson, wait.
00:50:28Serena!
00:50:37I just avenged you in front of a lot of people.
00:50:41Asking for our dinner isn't too much, right?
00:50:43Not at all.
00:50:45You pick.
00:50:46My treat.
00:50:47Generous.
00:50:48Let's go.
00:50:49Time 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.
00:51:22But 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?
00:51:42He's not the only empty suit here.
00:51:45Year two.
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?
00:52:08For six months, Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted from Ember Group.
00:52:15For one reason.
00:52:17Julian Clark.
00:52:19Damien 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.
00:52:29Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:33But now, Julian's gone, so the special treatment is gone.
00:52:37Damien's little arriving incident, it was just a convenient excuse to take everything back.
00:52:43Understand now?
00:52:48And about those flawless projects.
00:52:51Harper 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
00:53:27for 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.
00:53:46That'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.
00:54:11Please, you have to understand.
00:54:12Because 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.
00:54:44Hello, Mr. Foster.
00:54:46It's Damien here.
00:54:47I hear the Grandview Plaza is taking bids and Harper Enterprise, you know, we would absolutely love.
00:54:53Harper Enterprise?
00:54:54Who the hell is that?
00:54:55Do you think you're even in the same league as Grandview Plaza?
00:54:58Uh, Mr. Foster, what do you mean?
00:55:03I, last time we spoke, you said that you believed in the Harper Enterprise and that you would love to
00:55:08work together.
00:55:09Listen up.
00:55:10That's because Julian 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, that's not possible.
00:55:26I don't believe that.
00:55:28I don't.
00:55:29Hello, Mr. Parker.
00:55:30It's Damien.
00:55:30I was hoping to talk about future collaborations.
00:55:33Damien, you'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?
00:55:46Shameless trash?
00:55:50Mr. Parker.
00:55:52Mr. Parker, no.
00:55:53No, God damn it!
00:55:55No, I don't believe this.
00:55:57I don't believe this fucking Julian this whole fucking time.
00:56:00God damn it.
00:56:02Sorry, sorry.
00:56:03Hello?
00:56:05Mr. Turner, it's Damien.
00:56:07Damien, who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:09Calling me directly?
00:56:11Learn 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?
00:56:28What the fuck is happening?
00:56:43Mr. They 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.
00:56:54It's Julian again.
00:56:57So it's...
00:56:58It's true.
00:57:01They only gave us deals because of Julian.
00:57:05Julian!
00:57:05No, no, no, no, no.
00:57:06Serena, please.
00:57:07Okay?
00:57:07They're just saying that because Julian has been paying them off.
00:57:10Think about it.
00:57:11Okay?
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!
00:57:20You 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.
00:57:31I didn't know that they would.
00:57:34Get out of my sight.
00:57:37Now!
00:57:55Fuck!
00:57:56Damn it!
00:57:57No!
00:57:57I was this close to locking Serena down.
00:57:59Stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:01I'm not letting it end like this.
00:58:08Serena, you really thought you were smart.
00:58:11But you're really just...
00:58:13Pathetic.
00:58:14Trash.
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.
00:59:00Gone.
00:59:01Company collapsing.
00:59:05Idiot.
00:59:07You arrogant.
00:59:07Stupid, stupid, 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.
00:59:29I just want you to listen.
00:59:31I know I messed up.
00:59:34Huh.
00:59:38Julian.
00:59:39Julian.
00:59:40I'm sorry.
00:59:42I know, I know I was wrong.
00:59:45Look.
00:59:46Always damn Julian!
00:59:48Julian.
00:59:51Come back, okay?
00:59:54Please come back.
00:59:59Okay, I'm back.
01:00:05You don't have to be scared.
01:00:07Harper Enterprise is business queen.
01:00:09So much better than those cheap girls.
01:00:12Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine.
01:00:16Oh, Damien!
01:00:18You sick bastard!
01:00:20You sick bastard!
01:00:24You sick bastard!
01:00:25I really mean it.
01:00:27I love you.
01:00:29Hey, I'm telling you the truth!
01:00:31I mean it! Okay?
01:00:32I promise.
01:00:34I'll treat you well.
01:00:38You monster!
01:00:40Get off me, please!
01:00:42I'm begging you, don't!
01:00:43Please, just say yes.
01:00:45What are you doing?
01:00:50You're fucking dead!
01:00:51Ashley, help me!
01:00:53I tried being nice to you.
01:00:55I fucking tried!
01:00:56But you keep fighting me back!
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!
01:01:10Help!
01:01:11Julian!
01:01:12Julian!
01:01:13Help!
01:01:16Get him out of here!
01:01:18Stop!
01:01:18Let me go!
01:01:20Julian, no, it's running the fucking lanes.
01:01:22This isn't over.
01:01:27Julian!
01:01:28Thank God you came and you had like-
01:01:31We are not that close.
01:01:35I was just passing through.
01:01:36I heard some screaming, so I stopped by to check.
01:01:39You.
01:01:40I want you to call the Harper family.
01:01:42Tell them to come pick her up.
01:01:43Yes, sir.
01:01:46Julian!
01:01:47I am sorry.
01:01:49I know.
01:01:50I was wrong.
01:01:52Just...
01:01:53Please come back.
01:01:54Julian!
01:01:55Our reservation is in ten minutes.
01:01:58Let's go.
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.
01:02:20And 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 pride of yours,
01:02:33one day,
01:02:35you live to regret it.
01:02:36Dad, Grandpa, please.
01:02:38Stop.
01:02:38I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:41I'll...
01:02:42I'll apologize to Julian,
01:02:45and I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:50The problem with that is that, uh,
01:02:51you may feel that way,
01:02:53but Julian might not.
01:02:56Grandpa...
01:02:57Don't worry.
01:02:59I...
01:03:00I will apologize properly,
01:03:01and I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:05That's all we can do.
01:03:08So, John,
01:03:09put out a city-wide bolo
01:03:11on that bastard Damien.
01:03:14He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:17We're not letting that go.
01:03:19No.
01:03:21We're not.
01:03:22Understood.
01:03:54Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:01What is this supposed to be?
01:04:03A gift for you.
01:04:05Myself.
01:04:07I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:09Every group backs you up.
01:04:11No questions asked.
01:04:13But first,
01:04:14you have to accept the gift.
01:04:17Not really.
01:04:27Hey, can you not do that?
01:04:30You're making this incredibly awkward.
01:04:33You know a woman like me shows up a gift wrapped,
01:04:36and any man would've, you know,
01:04:39helms me by now.
01:04:41Don't tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:44Hung up?
01:04:47You aren't gonna be hung up on Serena.
01:04:48She and I were never romantic.
01:04:51No, it's just a business marriage between two families.
01:04:55Things are moving too fast.
01:04:57You gotta think twice.
01:04:59But I don't have time.
01:05:01My family is preparing to send me off into a European alliance.
01:05:06Some old money.
01:05:08Perfect match they can show off at Gallas.
01:05:11Wait.
01:05:11What are you talking about?
01:05:12Are you serious?
01:05:13Yes, Julian.
01:05:15My uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune,
01:05:17and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of me permanently.
01:05:20But I don't want a stranger.
01:05:22I want you.
01:05:23I love you.
01:05:25Julian.
01:05:28Let's make it official.
01:05:30Let's get married.
01:05:33You know, if you'll marry me,
01:05:37my family won't dare object.
01:05:40Please, Julian.
01:05:51Okay.
01:05:53I'll marry you.
01:05:55Are you serious?
01:05:57No take backs.
01:05:58No take backs.
01:05:59Ever.
01:05:59Ever.
01:06:00I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:03But can you help me out?
01:06:07Um, my hands are getting wet.
01:06:10So impatient.
01:06:15It's like you said,
01:06:17if I accept the gift,
01:06:20then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:26Then be gentle.
01:06:36Julian, you...
01:06:37didn't forget what you promised last night, right?
01:06:41Uh, no.
01:06:42Because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:06:44Of course I remember them.
01:06:46You know,
01:06:46when someone wraps themselves as a gift,
01:06:48you kind of...
01:06:49you kind of remember that for the rest of your life.
01:06:51You know that...
01:06:53Those are just...
01:06:54tiny details.
01:06:57You look like big details to me.
01:07:01Julian.
01:07:04Can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:07Serena, I really don't think there's anything we need to discuss.
01:07:09Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:10I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:12I misjudged everything.
01:07:14Please.
01:07:15Just give me one more chance,
01:07:16and...
01:07:17I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:18And if you take me back,
01:07:20just tell me what you want.
01:07:21I'll do anything.
01:07:22I'm sorry.
01:07:23I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:28Boyfriend?
01:07:34Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:07:38Well, Julian hates them too.
01:07:40And yet you stayed at Harper Enterprise for six full months.
01:07:44He asked you out 37 times.
01:07:46So tell me,
01:07:47what exactly are you proud of?
01:07:50Hmm?
01:07:51Men like him?
01:07:54If you treat him like trash,
01:07:56someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:07:59Listen carefully.
01:08:00We are all together now,
01:08:01so...
01:08:02better keep your distance.
01:08:03If you don't...
01:08:06I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:09Come on.
01:08:10We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:13Let's not be late.
01:08:14Wedding outfits.
01:08:17Let's go.
01:08:23Let's go.
01:08:32So how did it go?
01:08:34Julian?
01:08:35He's with Nora.
01:08:41Nora.
01:08:42Nora Lawson.
01:08:43The CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:45Of course.
01:08:47You know, Serena,
01:08:48it's an elite like Julian.
01:08:51The second you let go,
01:08:53somebody comes and grabs him.
01:08:55You don't get another chance.
01:08:57God gave our family a chance.
01:08:59And we blew it.
01:09:01God, forgive the Harpers.
01:09:04Please.
01:09:06Ms. Hopper,
01:09:08finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:10Hopper Enterprise's cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:13If we don't act immediately,
01:09:14we won't even have enough to make payroll this month.
01:09:19Great.
01:09:20Now all of Wall Street knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:24Who is he going to lend to us now?
01:09:25How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:27This is my fault, okay?
01:09:30I was blind.
01:09:31Are you proud now?
01:09:33I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:09:37I didn't realize that Julian was running everything.
01:09:42And the moment he's gone, I can't do anything.
01:09:46Dad.
01:09:47Grandpa.
01:09:48I'm so sorry.
01:09:50I ruined Harpers Enterprise.
01:09:52I ruined everything.
01:09:55Dad.
01:09:56You're the one who arranged the engagement with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:00So maybe you should go talk to him.
01:10:02And see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:05Yes, Grandpa.
01:10:07Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:09If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:12Clark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:15Yes.
01:10:16They honored our engagement.
01:10:19And that was a mercy.
01:10:21That was a blessing.
01:10:22But you threw it away.
01:10:27Still.
01:10:29For your sake and for your future.
01:10:31And for our future.
01:10:34We'll fight.
01:10:41Serena.
01:10:43When you see Julian's grandfather.
01:10:46Your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:50If he forgives you, only then will you know that you have a chance to get Julian back.
01:10:57Understood, Grandpa.
01:10:59For the Harper family, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:17Welcome.
01:11:18You must be here for Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:23Perfect timing.
01:11:24They're just about to start.
01:11:26Engagement party?
01:11:28So they're really engaged?
01:11:31Wait, how is this all happening so fast?
01:11:35What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:37Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson have known each other since they were born.
01:11:41And everyone is so happy that they're finally getting married.
01:11:44Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:47You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:11:49Then please leave.
01:11:52Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:12:00If there's an engagement party, that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:08And that means we're done.
01:12:12There's no more chances left.
01:12:14We're leaving.
01:12:16Is this my punishment?
01:12:19Alright, everyone.
01:12:21Big smiles.
01:12:38Julian, are you okay?
01:12:41Hey, I'm sorry.
01:12:47What is it?
01:12:48Oh, it's nothing.
01:12:49Come on.
01:12:50Dinner's almost ready.
01:13:04Dad!
01:13:06The Harpers!
01:13:08My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:12For him, in six months at Harper Enterprise, it was a total humiliation.
01:13:21We've shown the Harpers more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:26Understood, Dad.
01:13:35Okay, enough, Serena.
01:13:36Stop.
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?
01:13:49Just let me drink.
01:13:50I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:52I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:13:53No, you...
01:13:54No, you...
01:13:57Alright, I've gotta take this.
01:13:59Don't move.
01:14:00I'll be right back and then I am taking you home.
01:14:12Okay, Nora.
01:14:15Okay, Nora.
01:14:16Be 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 gonna 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 if they start begging.
01:14:49What 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 order it.
01:15:08Then why?
01:15:11Because Serena...
01:15:13is 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.
01:15:30I mean, with his personality,
01:15:32even if his grandfather forced him,
01:15:34he would have stayed there for three days max and then vanished.
01:15:37He would not stay there and take six months of humiliation
01:15:42if he didn't want it.
01:15:44That's Julian Clark.
01:15:46So that's why?
01:15:48Serena must have destroyed him.
01:15:50I have to get married fast.
01:15:52I cannot give her a single chance.
01:15:55So that's what it was.
01:15:57Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:15:59because I'm his type.
01:16:01He likes me.
01:16:02That 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, let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:39Wow.
01:16:41They look perfect together.
01:16:43They're childhood sweethearts.
01:16:44The whole fantasy.
01:16:45Oh my God.
01:16:46Brilliant.
01:16:48And now for the exchange of rings.

01:21:48so
01:22:18Mr. Clark!
01:22:37I'm sure you've all heard. Harper Enterprise, affected today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:42So, you're all being terminated.
01:22:46What?
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. You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a
01:23:02suit.
01:23:04You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:07I've seen how you all were.
01:23:11Bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud.
01:23:18I hope you want to be able to smile.
01:23:20So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms, and once you sign them, hand over your badges,
01:23:27or you're going to rob him.
01:23:31This, this is it.
01:23:47Are you satisfied now?
01:23:50Satisfied?
01:23:52Thomas 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 didn'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, hunted by cops. I won't accept
01:24:26it.
01:24:28Julian, watch out!
01:24:29Julian!
01:24:34Let me go! Fucking let me go!
01:24:36I already spared you.
01:24:38You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:40Take him to the police.
01:24:41Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:42I want him to ride in jail.
01:24:44Fucking coward.
01:24:45You're a fucking coward!
01:24:46Hiding behind your goddamn family's money!
01:24:48No, no, fight me!
01:24:49101!
01:24:49101!
01:24:50Let the guards go!
01:24:51You don't have the fucking guts to you!
01:24:57Hey, Julian.
01:24:58What was that?
01:25:00Just taking out the trash.
01:25:02Are you done here?
01:25:05No.
01:25:06Let's go.
01:25:13I was wrong!
01:25:16Julian, I was wrong!
