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 ARC's situation.
00:00:21I 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 laughingstock of Wall Street.
00:00:34No! No! We're not finished!
00:00:36We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:41The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:46Julia, we need you! Again!
00:00:49Shit! Shit!
00:00:53Give me a sec.
00:00:58Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:01Good, good, yeah. I just need to ask for a little favor.
00:01:10Julian, you saved my ass last time. I owe you. I'm moving liquidity to Harper now.
00:01:22The stock price is recovering. How is that possible?
00:01:25Did Mr. Clark just fix this with a few calls?
00:01:28Julian, what would Harper do without you?
00:01:32Julian, Damien's assistant called.
00:01:34Called in all hands. All department leads. Conference room in ten minutes. Chairman's orders.
00:01:39Why would Damien call in the meeting? He despises you. Watch your back.
00:02:12Today, Damien successfully neutralized the short attack against Harper and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:19Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:27Since when does Damien own House of Takeover from a hole in the ground?
00:02:30He must have stole this wing 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.
00:02:38And Damien used his pool of 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 could do.
00:02:53Damien!
00:02:56Question.
00:02:58Questions.
00:03:00I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:08Julian.
00:03:09The company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:14Keep sharing. I'm listening.
00:03:18This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:22Wait, I'm sorry everyone.
00:03:25I forgot.
00:03:27You're just the resident good for nothing.
00:03:29My 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, let's start with a question.
00:03:42Which funds were behind the short attack?
00:03:44And what was their distinct objective?
00:03:46And what specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:48Doesn't matter.
00:03:49What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:51You can't even name your enemy?
00:03:53All right, fine.
00:03:54Next question.
00:03:55Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights?
00:03:58And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:01Well...
00:04:03Well...
00:04:05Well...
00:04:06Well...
00:04:06Well...
00:04:07Well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:09All right.
00:04:10So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room, the countermeasures for a potential
00:04:14proxy fight, or 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 you.
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!
00:04:46Now 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, the 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 proved everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:22Now, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:25Harper'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 can grow, brat.
00:05:36Our families go way better.
00:05:38Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:41My life, my choice.
00:05:42Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that-
00:05:45Enough!
00:05:46Oh, that's it.
00:05:47You're going to do this.
00:05:49I've already arranged everything.
00:05:50You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:53Go work with Serena.
00:05:55And date her properly, hmm?
00:05:59You refuse.
00:06:02Okay.
00:06:03Nurse, Dr. Ann, check it out.
00:06:05My own grandson won't listen.
00:06:06What's the point?
00:06:07Okay.
00:06:08Let the heart attack take me now.
00:06:09Okay.
00:06:09All right.
00:06:10I'll go.
00:06:12I know that I'm asking.
00:06:15For years, you've carried this family on your back.
00:06:18We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:21The Harper's never in trouble.
00:06:23We do not abandon our own.
00:06:26Use that brilliant head of yours.
00:06:29And help them.
00:06:31Please.
00:06:32For me.
00:06:34Fine.
00:06:35I'll do it.
00:06:37I hear you.
00:06:45For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked, using every resource, every contact to help her.
00:06:51I pulled Harper Enterprise from the brink of bankruptcy and made it soar.
00:06:54I made Serena Harper the queen of this city's business world.
00:06:57And for what?
00:06:58So she could give my triumphs and victories to that sycophant Damien?
00:07:03It's time to come home.
00:07:10You asked for my opinion and you couldn't handle it.
00:07:14So...
00:07:14Pathetic.
00:07:15I said you're fired.
00:07:16Get your shit and get the fuck out of my door.
00:07:19I 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 else I'm gonna call security and you're gonna drag your ass out.
00:07:27Suit yourself.
00:07:29Julian, this is Harper Enterprise.
00:07:31Not your family's playground.
00:07:34Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:37You will leave.
00:07:38Now, do not disrupt this company any further.
00:07:41Serena, is that really the best play you wanna 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!
00:07:57Don't push your luck, Clark.
00:07:58The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the first place is because of your
00:08:01dusty fucking engagement to Serena.
00:08:04And you have the audacity to act all high and mighty?
00:08:06You're fucking nothing.
00:08:08You're a little trust-fun, entitled piece of shit baby.
00:08:12I mean, even your old Beyonce is telling you to get lost.
00:08:14So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost before I fucking-
00:08:18More what?
00:08:26You're broke.
00:08:27You're broke, monkey.
00:08:28You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole?
00:08:30A hundred thousand dollars!
00:08:34We lost your balance.
00:08:36Maybe work on your course rate.
00:08:38Julian, that is enough.
00:08:39Disrupting proceedings?
00:08:41Assault?
00:08:42Destruction of property?
00:08:43As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:47Effective immediately.
00:08:49Now 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.
00:09:15A million dollars being generous.
00:09:16You can fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:18A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:21It 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?
00:09:36Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:38And if so, you can crawl out of here,
00:09:40and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:44So what if you're Serena's fiancΓ©?
00:09:47Look at her now.
00:09:48She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:51A million dollars.
00:09:53That's the final offer?
00:09:55What do you mean?
00:10:00Hi, I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:14I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:21You just called for a million dollars in cash?
00:10:23Like a stakeout?
00:10:25What's next in a private army?
00:10:27Alright Julian, the charade ends now.
00:10:29Leave the company and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:31But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:34We are done.
00:10:36You sure?
00:10:37Whoa!
00:10:38Whoa!
00:10:38You heard that Julian?
00:10:39Your engagement's over.
00:10:40Now get out before I-
00:10:42Bro, get your hands off me!
00:10:47You 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, president of Harvey View Bank.
00:11:07What's a Wall Street Titan doing on a conference room?
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.
00:11:40What?
00:11:41What?
00:11:44Mr. Brooks.
00:11:45Personally delivering cash?
00:11:46To Julian?
00:11:48Wait, the-
00:11:48The money is-
00:11:49It's real?
00:11:52Delivered by Mr. Brooks?
00:11:53I mean-
00:11:54Wait, who are you?
00:11:58Much appreciated.
00:11:59You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:07Mr. Brooks.
00:12:08Sir.
00:12:08We are so honored by your visit.
00:12:12My 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.
00:12:20Is there anything else you require?
00:12:22My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:24No, thank you.
00:12:25You can go now.
00:12:25Of course.
00:12:33A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting?
00:12:38Unprofessional.
00:12:40I'm suspending the hundred million dollar deal.
00:12:42We'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision.
00:12:45Yes, sir.
00:12:46Mr. Brooks, I-
00:12:50Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:52Let's see him explain this to the chairman.
00:12:54The chairman will have his head.
00:12:57This is all your fault, alright?
00:12:58You gotta fix this.
00:12:59You call him back here and get that loan reinstated or I swear I'm gonna-
00:13:02You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:05As for us...
00:13:09One million.
00:13:10In full.
00:13:11Which makes this watch...
00:13:16It's mine.
00:13:18You arrogant.
00:13:19Son of a bitch!
00:13:24I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it?
00:13:26I bet you ought to sell your house to scrape this together, you fucking loser.
00:13:33But it's all mine now.
00:13:35Yeah, sure.
00:13:36The debt for the watch is settled.
00:13:38But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:40That useless piece of junk, how much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:42I don't know.
00:13:44Maybe about...
00:13:45A hundred million?
00:13:47A hundred million dollars!
00:13:52For a laptop?
00:13:53Have you lost your mind?
00:13:56A hundred million.
00:13:57For a laptop.
00:13:59Julian.
00:14:00The law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:03What you're committing is extortion.
00:14:05That's illegal!
00:14:06So, him extorting me for a million was legal then, right?
00:14:09By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago?
00:14:12Huh?
00:14:13That's a kisser kisser.
00:14:14Enough!
00:14:16Julian.
00:14:17You know, I know you think you're right.
00:14:19But a stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars?
00:14:23A hundred million dollars?
00:14:25I...
00:14:27Tremont.
00:14:27Sure.
00:14:27A standard stellar isn't worth that much.
00:14:30But this isn't a standard.
00:14:31What is it, made of gold?
00:14:33Even then, it still wouldn't cost a hundred million fucking dollars.
00:14:36You know what?
00:14:37You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:46Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:48That's Bill Sullivan.
00:14:49SVP for Stellar.
00:14:51Here?
00:14:51You think it's about the three hundred million dollar partner you should do?
00:14:54Three hundred 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.
00:15:02What an unexpected honor.
00:15:04I'm Serena Harper.
00:15:05CEO.
00:15:06What do we owe the...
00:15:07Mr. Clark.
00:15:08The security have 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...
00:15:26Took a fall.
00:15:28God.
00:15:29This damage is significant.
00:15:31With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate, this could be thirty million.
00:15:39Thirty 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 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 seventy million dollars.
00:16:11That's seventy million dollars?!
00:16:12Mr. Clark has the data on his laptop registered with monetary values to the security division.
00:16:19All damages to our fullest extent.
00:16:21Here.
00:16:23Receipts for the hardware and the notarized value declarations for the data.
00:16:27See for yourself.
00:16:36Who cares around a hundred million dollar laptop?!
00:16:43Who exactly are you?
00:16:45You don't get to know.
00:16:47In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:49And there's no way that there's a fucking laptop that costs a hundred million dollars!
00:16:53You know what?
00:16:53This is a fucking scam.
00:16:55These two, they're working together.
00:16:56I'm telling you.
00:16:57It's a con.
00:16:57Are you serious?
00:16:59I'm Blake Sullivan.
00:17:00I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:02I don't fly across the city a scam and nobody like you.
00:17:05Listen, I'm so...
00:17:06Ms. 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?!
00:17:20Mr. Sullivan, please.
00:17:22Damien is just...
00:17:23He's stressed.
00:17:24He didn't mean...
00:17:25Save it.
00:17:26You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:29You, if you dispute evaluations, we can settle it in court.
00:17:33My 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 fight this.
00:17:50He's done for.
00:17:53Mr. Nino, you're down.
00:17:54Please.
00:17:59Please.
00:18:02Mr. Sullivan, Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation.
00:18:07Will that suffice?
00:18:09I'm just here to certify facts.
00:18:11You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:15Full payment.
00:18:17In my account.
00:18:18Within three days.
00:18:20In that case, we're done here.
00:18:22Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else?
00:18:25I'll do it.
00:18:27Mr. Sullivan, our...
00:18:28Ms. Harper, get your house in order first.
00:18:31Stellar has standards.
00:18:32We 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.
00:18:50Whether her father or Chairman Harper approve is none of your goddamn business!
00:18:54We don't need someone like you worrying about it!
00:18:56He's right.
00:18:58Julian, I give you my word.
00:19:00The full amount will be paid within three days.
00:19:02But under one condition.
00:19:04Our engagement ends for good.
00:19:06And you will leave Harper Enterprise.
00:19:09Now.
00:19:10You hear that, Julian?
00:19:12You know, I'll admit it.
00:19:13Yeah, you got the money.
00:19:14But 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.
00:19:29Remind 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 twice 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.
00:19:56Remind me.
00:19:56Which one of us is the real boy toy?
00:20:00You.
00:20:11Get 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?
00:20:33Chairman Harper?
00:20:34Brought you in?
00:20:35Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:38Who do you think you are?
00:20:39You think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:41Julian, I've already given you more courtesy than you deserve.
00:20:43The 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 him the fuck out of here.
00:20:57Hey!
00:21:02What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:05What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:06Stand down!
00:21:07All of you!
00:21:08You! Out of here!
00:21:10Now!
00:21:10Dad? Grandpa?
00:21:12What are you doing here?
00:21:18Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's going on today.
00:21:23I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:28Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:31What?
00:21:32Chairman Harper apologizing to Julian?
00:21:36Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:39Chairman Harper, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games.
00:21:43How could you possibly-
00:21:44Shut up!
00:21:51Sweet.
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.
00:22:01Serena, 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 were 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.
00:22:22No need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:24Julian, please understand, all of this is on us.
00:22:29Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harper family.
00:22:33Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:38Apologize to Julian!
00:22:40Now!
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!
00:23:00Enough!
00:23:00Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:02Let me apologize.
00:23:03Say that.
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!
00:23:20Julian, please, don't!
00:23:21Without you, this place doesn't survive!
00:23:24Look!
00:23:31What?
00:23:32Oh, I guess she would have just pulled out orders.
00:23:35What do you mean?
00:23:35Hostile takeover.
00:23:37All of our investors pulled out.
00:23:38How can that be?
00:23:43Harper Enterprise stock plunges 30% in minutes, wiping out billions in market value.
00:23:48What?
00:23:49My entire division just stopped!
00:23:51We can't operate like this!
00:23:53A 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 Enterprises 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, and our own liquidity can't cover the gaps!
00:24:37If it continues, the stocks 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!
00:24:50Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?
00:24:56Apologize to Julian!
00:24:57No!
00:25:02Serena, apologize.
00:25:06Serena...
00:25:16Serena!
00:25:16Serena, do not apologize!
00:25:18Harper Enterprises worth hundreds of billions of dollars!
00:25:21You really think we can't survive without him?
00:25:23Let'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, fucking no!
00:25:30Oh!
00:25:31Oh!
00:25:32Oh!
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:37Oh!
00:25:39Damien!
00:25:40Damien!
00:25:41Damien!
00:25:41Damien!
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!
00:26:04And today that is exactly what you look like to me!
00:26:07Serena, that is enough!
00:26:08Wait, 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?
00:26:28Yeah, you're no saint.
00:26:31You're just biased.
00:26:33You know, I've been engaged to you for the past six months.
00:26:36I have asked you out 37 times!
00:26:39Yeah, because I thought we should at least get to know each other!
00:26:41Every time I have asked you out, you said,
00:26:44I'm too busy with work.
00:26:46But that wasn't the truth.
00:26:47The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant,
00:26:51listen to him sing your praises, right?!
00:26:55Who's that?
00:26:56Oh, let me guess.
00:26:56Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:02Just... ignore him.
00:27:04Is he still your fiancΓ©?
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!
00:27:29No, 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.
00:27:52That'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!
00:28:38Hey, 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 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!
00:28:55They've 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, it's not true, huh?
00:29:11Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me!
00:29:14In my hard work, in 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, 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.
00:29:40But the engagement...
00:29:42Let him go!
00:29:43I don't need a fiancΓ© who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:49Without my connections and my network, Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:54And it's going to go right back to where it was six months ago.
00:29:58What?
00:29:59What?
00:30:00Prepare yourselves.
00:30:03Julian.
00:30:03Julian!
00:30:04Julian!
00:30:07Serena!
00:30:09You silly, foolish, foolish girl!
00:30:13No!
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.
00:30:20Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper, I'm going to stand by Serena's side, and I'm going to give her everything that I've
00:30:25got.
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, but I believe he will prove himself to you, and so will
00:30:41I.
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!
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. Easy!
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, and 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 don't even count on me. Amber Group's deputy VP of projects. I mean, you trust me
00:31:39clearly.
00:31:40He else has been his arms.
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. Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise. The engagement is off.
00:32:01Serena 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, and then Serena personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:14Serena really thinks she got where she is because of Damien?
00:32:17That for your little laptop?
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? Not 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. How'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.
00:33:23Oh my, Damien, you're too kind.
00:33:25Sure, it's 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.
00:33:53Yes, yes, sir.
00:34:06I don't think it does.
00:34:06Possibly, literally fill it up.
00:34:13Marissa fantastic.
00:34:13Hi heyΠΎΠΆΠ°Π»ΡΠΉ, no you take a nap.
00:34:18Fill it in, Dimitrisi's full day, tutor.
00:34:19You took what time is my sister that hasn't gone too late until non-game?
00:34:22You just have one afternoon toζΊεΈ³, woman.
00:34:22Down the drain. What 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?
00:34:48You know? Guys like us, we don't get to escape alliances. Our families will bear us off either way, so
00:34:57why pick a stranger when there's someone who actually knows you?
00:35:04You see? Childhood friends, same circles, 15 years of school. We match, you know? We fit.
00:35:18Hang on. Nora, are you saying this because you're drunk, or do you...
00:35:22Shh.
00:35:30I'm not drunk, okay? You don't have to answer me tonight, just think about it.
00:35:37Mm-hmm.
00:35:41Hmm?
00:35:44Skiff spines and
00:35:45Now, guys, this is where you are.
00:36:07I told you, I'm not drunk.
00:36:10All right, this one should come off.
00:36:12Oh, shit.
00:36:14I'm drunk.
00:36:16All right, this one should come off.
00:36:18Oh, shit.
00:36:19I'm drunk.
00:36:35Miss Lawson, Amber Group's distinguished CEO, allow me the pleasure of introducing myself.
00:36:43Oh, 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, you'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 lose tomorrow's 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 just sleep the rest of the night.
00:37:23I 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?
00:37:55Okay.
00:38:07Speak of the devil of all good 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?
00:38:55It's me, Paul, take her.
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 need a good impression.
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?
00:40:32You 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.
00:41:02Sally?
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, 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.
00:41:50See 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.
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.
00:42:25Hi, 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?
00:42:36I 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, get up on that stage, and give us a nice little poll
00:43:05show.
00:43:05Hey, hey, 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.
00:43:29Mr. 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.
00:43:58What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
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.
00:44:19Hey, me, my friend.
00:44:21There's a woman here, so 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 quoting 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.
00:45:00When did I ever take your money?
00:45:03I never took one cent.
00:45:05Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:07Idiots!
00:45:08Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:11Miss Lawson, this...
00:45:12This 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 Noah 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.
00:45:36Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:39We promise we won't let you down.
00:45:44Stop!
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.
00:45:56I 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.
00:46:19Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being inappropriate.
00:46:25But I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:29He is blunt, yes.
00:46:31But his ability is exceptional.
00:46:35Please, 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.
00:47:22Even 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.
00:47:29Alright, I'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?
00:47:49I...
00:47:50You want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart?
00:47:53Technology and capital.
00:47:55Useless 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, get up on that stage, give us a nice
00:48:06little 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.
00:48:29It's just not...
00:48:30It's just a lie.
00:48:30Don't believe it.
00:48:31I...
00:48:31Just turn it off.
00:48:32Turn it off right now!
00:48:33Stop him!
00:48:35Not coming to 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 use...
00:48:44Mr. Brooks' man said...
00:48:46What a fucking routine.
00:48:48Listen to Sam, who are you to say anything?
00:48:50What do you think, your Amber group CEO?
00:48:51No, Amber.
00:48:54Turn it off, please.
00:48:56Okay, okay.
00:48:57Miss 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.
00:49:20You 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.
00:49:30Enough.
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.
00:49:51The 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.
00:50:15Pathetic.
00:50:21Serena.
00:50:24Please, you gotta let me explain.
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.
00:50:55Damien was wrong to bribe anyone.
00:50:58And I apologize on his behalf.
00:51:01Just please give Harper Enterprise another chance.
00:51:05I will meet the highest standards.
00:51:08I 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.
00:51:45Miss 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?
00:52:06Wasn'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.
00:52:18Julian 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.
00:52:30Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:33But now, Julian's gone.
00:52:35So, the special treatment is gone.
00:52:37Damien'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.
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
00:53:02and cleared the path for you.
00:53:04Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:08No.
00:53:11That's not true.
00:53:12I 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
00:53:23when Julian is not there to hold the world together for 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
00:53:49on a selfish and blind woman like you.
00:53:57Was 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 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
00:54:20and 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, you 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
00:54:39and I'm going to get you some new projects right now.
00:54:41Okay.
00:54:44Hello, Mr. Foster.
00:54:46It's Damien here.
00:54:47I hear the Grandview Plaza is taking bids
00:54:49and Harper Enterprise, you know,
00:54:51we 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?
00:55:04Last time we spoke, you said that you believed in the Harper Enterprise
00:55:07and that you would love to work together.
00:55:09Listen up.
00:55:09That'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 impossible.
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.
00:56:05I gave Harper Enterprise projects because of Mr. Clark
00:56:07Damien, who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:09Calling me directly?
00:56:11Learn some manners.
00:56:14Julian was polite enough to tolerate you playing sideman with his fiancee.
00:56:17I'm not.
00:56:18You bastard too.
00:56:21Mr. Turner, Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:26What the fuck is happening?
00:56:34Miss Harper?
00:56:36This is bad.
00:56:37Our partners are flooding us with messages.
00:56:39They're suspending contracts, pulling out a deal.
00:56:42Wait, what 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.
00:56:54It'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, Sweeney, please, okay?
00:57:07They're just saying that because Julian has been paying them off.
00:57:10Think about it, okay?
00:57:11But you know what, just give you some time and I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:14I'll get you some new projects, I swear.
00:57:16Get away from me!
00:57:18You liar, you fraud, Damien!
00:57:21All those CEOs, they only had you pick up contracts from them.
00:57:26And you told me you negotiated the deals.
00:57:30I swear, I 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, stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:01I'm not letting it end like this.
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, Grandpa warned you, and you still wouldn't listen.
00:58:37You, like, learned 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 just want you to listen.
00:59:31I know I messed up.
00:59:34Oh!
00:59:35Oh!
00:59:38Julian.
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.
00:59:56Come back.
00:59:56Come back.
00:59:57Come back.
00:59:57Come back.
00:59:58Come back.
00:59:59Come back.
00:59:59Come back.
00:59:59Come back.
00:59:59Come back.
00:59:59Okay, I'm back.
01:00:05You don't have to be scared.
01:00:07Harper Enterprise's business, Queen, is so much better than those cheap girls.
01:00:12Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine.
01:00:17Damien!
01:00:18You sick bastard!
01:00:20You sick bastard!
01:00:25You really mean it.
01:00:27I love you.
01:00:28You fucking hell.
01:00:29Get off me.
01:00:30Hey, I'm telling you the truth.
01:00:31I mean it.
01:00:32Okay?
01:00:33I promise.
01:00:34I'll treat you well.
01:00:38You monster.
01:00:39Get off me, please.
01:00:42I'm begging you.
01:00:43Don't.
01:00:43Say yes.
01:00:46What did I do?
01:00:53I tried being nice to you.
01:00:55I fucking tried.
01:00:56But you keep fighting me back.
01:00:57Help.
01:00:58Help.
01:00:59Help.
01:00:59Help.
01:00:59Help.
01:00:59Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:00Keep fucking screaming.
01:01:02Yeah.
01:01:02You're right.
01:01:04You're not going to say no.
01:01:06I'm going to fuck you.
01:01:07Help.
01:01:09Help.
01:01:11Help.
01:01:12Julie.
01:01:13Julie, help.
01:01:14Help.
01:01:14Oh.
01:01:15Oh.
01:01:16Get him out of here.
01:01:18Stop.
01:01:18Let me go.
01:01:20Julie, you know this wasn't the fucking place.
01:01:22This isn't over.
01:01:28Julie, thank God you came and you had like-
01:01:31Julie, we are not that close.
01:01:35I was just passing through.
01:01:36I heard some screaming, so I stopped by the 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.
01:01:46Julie, I am sorry.
01:01:48Grace.
01:01:49I know.
01:01:50I was wrong.
01:01:51Just-
01:01:53Please come back.
01:01:54Julie!
01:01:56Our reservation is in 10 minutes.
01:01:58Let's go.
01:02:06Serena.
01:02:08I told you over and over and over again that Damien was not a good man and you refused to
01:02:19listen.
01:02:21And Julian, if Julian doesn't come along, just 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, one day, you live to regret it.
01:02:36Dad, Grandpa, please.
01:02:38Stop.
01:02:38I-I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:42I'll-I'll apologize to Julian and I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:50The problem with that is that, uh, you may feel that way, but Julian might not.
01:02:57Grandpa, don't worry.
01:02:59I-I will apologize properly and I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:05That's all we can do.
01:03:08So, John, put out a citywide bolo on that bastard Damien.
01:03:14He put his hands on my granddaughter.

01:22:18Mr. Clark!
01:22:37I'm sure you've all heard. Harper Enterprise, affected today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:43So, we'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.
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.
01:23:07I've seen how you all work.
01:23:09Here.
01:23:10Bribes.
01:23:12Embezzlement.
01:23:14Kickbacks.
01:23:16Fraud.
01:23:18If you want to be, that's a file.
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 rot in jail.
01:23:31This.
01:23:32This is in.
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?
01:24:19It still lands something better.
01:24:21I spent my whole life climbing upwards, and now I'm stuck at the bottom, hunted by cops.
01:24:26I won't accept it.
01:24:28Julian, watch out!
01:24:29Julian!
01:24:34Let me go!
01:24:35Fucking let me go!
01:24:36I already spared you.
01:24:38You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:40Go ahead.
01:24:40Take him to the police.
01:24:41Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:42I want him to rot 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.
01:24:48No, fight me.
01:24:49101!
01:24:49101!
01:24:50Let the guards go!
01:24:51You don't have the fucking guts, do you?
01:24:57Hey, Julian.
01:24:58What was that?
01:25:00Just staking out the trash.
01:25:03Are you done here?
01:25:05No.
01:25:06Let's go.
01:25:09Oh, I know.
01:25:11What was that?
01:25:13I was wrong!
01:25:15Julian!
01:25:17I was wrong!
01:25:18I was wrong!
