00:00:03Breaking news. Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack. In the past hour
00:00:09alone, the conglomerate has lost over a billion dollars in ARC's valuation.
00:00:23I need you to buy the stock, alright?
00:00:28This isn't some random dip. Whoever's shorting us came prepared. They're tearing us apart.
00:00:32We can't hold the line. We're about to become the laughingstock of Wall Street.
00:00:36No, no, we're not finished. We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:43The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:48Julian, we need you. Again. Shit.
00:00:52We need your help. Give me a sec.
00:01:01Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing? Good, good, yeah. I just need to ask for a little favor.
00:01:12Julian, you saved my ass last time. I owe you. I'm moving liquidity to Harper now.
00:01:19Great.
00:01:24The stock price is recovering. How is that possible?
00:01:27Did Mr. Clark just fix this with a few calls?
00:01:30Julian, what would Harper do without you?
00:01:34Julian, Damien's assistant called. Called in all hands. All department leads. Conference room in ten minutes.
00:01:40Chairman's orders.
00:01:41Why would Damien call in the meeting? He despises you.
00:01:46Watch your back.
00:01:49The.
00:02:02The.
00:02:04The.
00:02:06The.
00:02:06The.
00:02:07The.
00:02:14The.
00:02:15Damien successfully neutralized the short attack against Harper and helped push
00:02:19our stock back up. Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:29Since when does Damien know how to take over from a hole in the ground? He must
00:02:33have stole this wing from someone else. Remember what he did to Anthony from
00:02:36investments? Damien took credit for his deal. Anthony pushed back and Damien
00:02:41used this pool of Serena to get him fired.
00:02:48Hello? Is there a problem? Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the
00:02:53fire, the least that every single one of you can do. Damien. Of course. Questions? I'd be
00:03:03happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:10Julian, the company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:16Keep sharing. I'm listening.
00:03:21This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:25Wait, I'm sorry everyone. I forgot. You're just the resident good for nothing. My
00:03:31strategy is you probably couldn't comprehend them, let alone ask a decent goddamn question.
00:03:39Well, since you're so keen on getting my contribution, let's start with a question.
00:03:44Which funds were behind the short attack? And what was their distinct objective? And what
00:03:49specifically was their entry strategy? Doesn't matter. What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:53You can't even name the enemy? Alright, fine. Next question. Which firms did you guys recruit as
00:03:59white knights? And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:03Well, uh, well, um, well, I, uh, well...
00:04:10Well, you can't even name the basics. Alright. So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a
00:04:14cross-functional war room, the countermeasures for a potential proxy fight, or which SEC clauses
00:04:19could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:23Let's be real. You are nothing but a gloryhound, who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees
00:04:31the video.
00:04:40You, a useless, game-addicted fucking loser, dare to question me? You know what, Clark?
00:04:46You're fucking fired! Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:59You hear that, Dad? I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:06Understood. Now, a hearing's not enough. I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this
00:05:10company. Now.
00:05:16You took our family's market cap and raised it to three trillion dollars. You've proven
00:05:22everything that needs to be proved. Now, uh, time to think about your marriage. Harper's, uh,
00:05:28old friends, good staff, you know? Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper. What you're
00:05:34talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:36Feelings can grow, brat. Our families go way back. Your marriage will definitely be a happy
00:05:42one.
00:05:43My life, my choice. Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that-
00:05:47Enough!
00:05:48Oh, that's it. You're going to do this. I've already arranged everything. You're starting
00:05:53with the Harper Family Company today. Go work with Serena. And date her properly, hmm?
00:06:02You refuse. Okay. Nurse, Dr. Ann, check it out. My own grandson won't listen. What's the
00:06:09point? Okay. Let the heart attack take me now. Okay, all right. I'll go.
00:06:14I know when I'm asking. For years, you've carried this family on your back. We have more now
00:06:22than we ever was. The Harper's never in trouble. We do not abandon our own. Use that brilliant head of
00:06:31yours and help them. Please, for me. Fine. I'll do it. I hear you. Thank you.
00:06:47For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked, using every resource, every contact to help her.
00:06:53I pulled Harper Enterprise from the brink of bankruptcy and made it soar. I made Serena
00:06:57Harper the queen of this city's business world. And for what? So she could give my triumphs and
00:07:03victories to that sycophant Damien. It's time to come home.
00:07:13You asked for my opinion, and you couldn't handle it. So, pathetic.
00:07:17I said you're fired. Get your shit and get the fuck out of my door.
00:07:21I heard you. I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay, and then I'm gone.
00:07:25I said now, or I'm going to call security and you're going to drag your ass out.
00:07:29Suit yourself. Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:36Your grandfather has no authority here. You will leave. Now, do not disrupt this company any further.
00:07:43Serena, is that really the best play you want to make here?
00:07:46I will not repeat it. And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:49You know what, Serena? Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:58You don't push your luck, Clark. The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the
00:08:03first
00:08:03place is because of your dusty fucking engagement to Serena. And you have the audacity to act all high
00:08:08and mighty. You're fucking nothing. You're a little trust fund, entitled piece of shit baby. I mean,
00:08:14even your Beyoncé is telling you to get lost. So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get
00:08:19lost
00:08:19before I fucking-
00:08:28You broke it. You broke my teeth. You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole? A hundred thousand dollars.
00:08:37We lost your balance. Maybe work on your question.
00:08:40Julian, that is enough. Disrupting proceedings? Assault? Destruction of property? As CEO of
00:08:47Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment. Effective immediately. Now, gather your things and
00:08:52leave the premises. Serena, he broke my watch. The gift you got me for my birthday, he has to pay
00:08:57for it. Okay,
00:08:57you got two options, asshole. Either pay up or I swear you're going to rot in jail.
00:09:05Fine. I'll pay. Is it a hundred thousand dollars? What? One hundred thousand dollars. It's a million.
00:09:13A million for that. It's a gift from Serena. It's priceless. A million dollars being generous. You
00:09:18could fucking ask anyone in this room, huh? A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value. He does have a
00:09:24point card. You break it, you buy it. That's the rule. Though on your salary, it might take a few
00:09:30lifetimes.
00:09:35Well, you gonna wire me the money? Or are you as broke as you look? And if so,
00:09:41you can crawl out of here and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you. So what if
00:09:47you're Serena's
00:09:48Beyonce? Look at her now. She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward. A million dollars.
00:09:55What's the final offer? What do you mean?
00:10:02Hi, I need a million dollars brought to the main conference
00:10:05room at Harper headquarters? Thank you.
00:10:16I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:20Thank you. You just called for a million dollars in cash, like a stakeout? What's next in a private
00:10:28army? All right, Julian, the charade ends now. Leave the company and you won't have to pay for the
00:10:33watch. But our family's engagement is over. We are done. You sure? Whoa, whoa. You heard that,
00:10:41Julian? Your engagement's over. Now get out before I throw your hands off me. Put your
00:10:50fucking hands on me. You know what? I'm going to wipe that smug fucking look off your face.
00:10:58Enough.
00:11:03Mr. Brooks. That's David Brooks, president of Harvey View Bank. Where's a Wall Street
00:11:10titan doing an accomplishment? Do you think it has to do with the 100 million loan? It can't be.
00:11:15That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement. Mr. Clark, the one million as requested.
00:11:42What? Mr. Brooks, personally delivering cash to Julian? Wait, the money is, it's real?
00:11:52What? Delivered by Mr. Brooks? Wait, who are you?
00:12:00Much appreciated. You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:09Mr. Brooks, sir, we are so honored by your visit. My grandfather, he speaks of you often.
00:12:16I'm sure he'd love to get a round of golf scheduled with me sometime. Mr. Clark, is there anything else
00:12:23you require? My resources are available at your disposal. No, thank you. You can go down. Of course.
00:12:36A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting? Unprofessional. I'm suspending the 100 million
00:12:43deal. We'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision. Yes, sir. Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:53Damien messed up such a huge loan. Let's see him explain this to the chairman. The chairman will have his
00:12:57head.
00:12:59This is all your fault, all right? You gotta fix this. You call him back here and get that loan
00:13:03reinstated or I swear I'm gonna... You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:08This is all your fault, right? As for us...
00:13:12One million. In full. Which makes this watch...
00:13:19It's mine. You arrogant. Son of a bitch!
00:13:27I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it? I bet you ought to sell your house
00:13:30to scrape this
00:13:30together, you fucking loser. But it's all mine now. Yeah, sure. The debt for the watch is
00:13:39settled. But can we talk about compensation for my laptop? That useless piece of junk,
00:13:43how much could that possibly be worth? Oh, I don't know. Maybe about... 100 million?
00:13:49A hundred million dollars! For a laptop? Have you lost your mind?
00:13:58A hundred million. For a laptop. Julian. The law requires compensation for actual value. What
00:14:06your committee is extortion. That's illegal. So, him extorting me for a million was legal then,
00:14:12right? By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago? Huh? That's a kisser.
00:14:16Enough! Julian. You know, I know you think you're right. What? A stellar laptop costs a few thousand
00:14:25dollars? A hundred million dollars? I... Dream on. Sure, a standard stellar isn't worth that much,
00:14:32but this isn't a standard. What is it, made of gold? Even then, it still would
00:14:36cost a hundred million fucking dollars. You know what? You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:48Mr. Sullivan! That's Bill Sullivan, SVP for Stellar. Here? You think it's about the 300 million
00:14:55dollar partner chip deal? 300 million? That's huge for us, but pocket change for Stellar. Why would Mr.
00:15:01Sullivan come in person? Mr. Sullivan? Uh, what an unexpected honor. I'm Serena Harper, uh, CEO.
00:15:09What do we owe the... Mr. Clark, our security have detected an urgent impact alert from your device,
00:15:14and the signal originated here. We will concern for your safety and cater immediately. Mr. Sullivan's
00:15:20here for Julian, too? Because his laptop impact triggered an alarm? Unbelievable. Mr. Clark,
00:15:26are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine. It just took a fall. God, this damage is significant. With the
00:15:34custom components, preliminary repair estimate, this could be 30 million.
00:15:4130 million dollars? No, no, no, no. To fix a fucking laptop? That's impossible! There's no way!
00:15:48Are you questioning me? No, I just... I'll open your eyes. This is a one-off laptop with Stellar's quantum
00:15:53processors and proprietary components. You better pray that those data partitions are intact,
00:15:58or that compensation will ruin you. I just had the critical, critical data corruption here. It's
00:16:04highly confidential files, high market value. I mean, with our declarations, this is at least 70 million
00:16:10dollars. That's 70 million dollars! Mr. Clark has the data on his laptop registered with monetary values
00:16:19to the security division. All damages to our fullest extent. Here. Receipts for the hardware,
00:16:27and the notarized value declarations for the data. See for yourself.
00:16:39Who carries around a hundred million dollar laptop?
00:16:46Who exactly are you? You don't get to know. In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:52And there's no way that there's a fucking laptop that cost a hundred million dollars! You know what?
00:16:56This is a fucking scam. These two, they're working together. I'm telling you, it's a con!
00:17:00Are you serious? I'm Blake Sullivan. I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:04I don't fly across the city a scam and nobody like you. Listen, I have someone. This Harper,
00:17:10this is the employee you hire. He's a fool, and it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:16Oh, by the way, our partnership deal? Consider it terminated. What?
00:17:21What? Um, Mr. Sullivan, please. Damien is just... He's stressed. He didn't mean...
00:17:27Save it. You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first. You, if you dispute evaluations, we can
00:17:34settle it in court. My legal team has 965 lawyers. I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:43Stellar's legal team is legendary. He never lost. Damien can't fight this. Hell,
00:17:49the entire Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this. He's done for.
00:17:55Show me now. Please.
00:18:02Please.
00:18:05Mr. Sullivan, Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation. Will that suffice?
00:18:11I'm just here to certify facts. You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:18Full payment, in my account, within three days.
00:18:23In that case, we're done here. Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else?
00:18:28I'll do.
00:18:29Uh, Mr. Sullivan, are our partners?
00:18:31Ms. Harper, get your house in order first. Stellar has standards. We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:38That'll be all. Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:40Oh, that's funny. Damien's lucky, huh? A hundred million on the line and you swoop in the cover for him.
00:18:46You know, I just hope that your father and your grandfather are as generous as you are.
00:18:52Whether her father or Chairman Harper approve is none of your goddamn business! We don't need someone like you worrying
00:18:58about it!
00:18:59He's right. Julian, I give you my word. The full amount will be paid within three days. But under one
00:19:05condition.
00:19:06Our engagement ends for good. And you will leave Harper Enterprise. Now.
00:19:13Did you hear that, Julian?
00:19:15You know, I'll admit it. Yeah, you got the money. But it's not about what you made. It's your family's
00:19:18fucking money.
00:19:19Now you're just a spoiled little trust fund baby who's been fired. So get the fuck out!
00:19:24Get the fuck out? One of us just torpedoed a hundred million dollar loan and a 300 million dollar deal.
00:19:31Remind me, which one of us should actually get the fuck out? Serena, I think it is actually time
00:19:36to call your grandfather. He could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:42Stop. Stop!
00:19:48This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper. Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:19:55Funny. Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill. Remind me, which one of us is the real boy
00:20:00toy?
00:20:03You.
00:20:13Get the fuck out! Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have.
00:20:18This is Harper Enterprise. I'm the one in charge here.
00:20:23Security, remove him.
00:20:28Julian, please, don't make us get physical. I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in.
00:20:32You really want to lay hands on me?
00:20:35Chairman Harper brought you in? Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:40What do you think you are? You think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:44Julian, I've already given you more courtesy than you deserve. The more you cling on like this, the more
00:20:48disgusting you'd come to me. Do it.
00:20:55Looks like I don't need that phone call. Still running your mouth, huh? Move. Get him the fuck out of
00:21:00here.
00:21:05What the hell is going on in here? Stand down! All of you! You! Out of here! Now!
00:21:13Dad? Grandpa? What are you doing here? Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's gone on today.
00:21:26I know that you've been wronged by this guy. Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:33What? Chairman Harper? Apologizing to Julian? Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:42Chairman Harper, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games. How could you possibly? Shut up!
00:21:54Sweet. How dare you disrespect Julian! Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has. You can't just hit
00:22:01people!
00:22:01I wish we hit him more. Serena, do you even have any idea who Julian Clark is?
00:22:08We didn't tell you everything because of your ego. And I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:22:12We're going to announce everything once the engagement was formally set. But who knew?
00:22:18Serena, you've been blind. Julian is- Thomas, you can't force something that isn't there.
00:22:23No real feelings, no need to go forward with the engagement. Julian, please understand, all of this is on us.
00:22:31Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harperfin. Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:41I apologize to Julian, now! No! I don't care who you are, Julian. To me, you're still just a spoiled
00:22:49brat who thinks of himself as some sort of genius.
00:22:52But in reality, all you know is playing video games. I see right through you, and I will not apologize
00:23:01to you!
00:23:02Serena! Enough! Julian, she's just being foolish. Let me apologize.
00:23:06Save it. If Serena can't manage an apology herself, then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:15Issue my order. Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise. Cease every protective measure effective immediately.
00:23:22Julian, please, don't. Without you, this place doesn't survive. Look!
00:23:29Oh! What?
00:23:35What? Oh, I guess you would've just pulled the orders. What do you mean?
00:23:38Hostile takeover. All of our investors pulled out. How can that be?
00:23:46Harper Enterprise stock plunges 30% in minutes, wiping out billions in market value.
00:23:52What? My entire division just stopped. We can't operate like this.
00:23:55A stunning reversal. Harper Enterprise's many allies withdraw their investments in an instant,
00:24:01leaving the group facing massive losses. Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:08Shocking Wall Street. Why did Harper Enterprise suddenly lose power? What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:17How is that possible? Are you attacking the company?
00:24:20No matter who is behind this, I, Serena, will never bow down to you!
00:24:27Harper Enterprise will not yield to any market attacks. Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks!
00:24:33Ms. Harper, this isn't a race. Our major partners are terminating their contracts.
00:24:37And our own liquidity can't cover the gaps! If this continues, the stock will crash straight through the floor!
00:24:44What did you say?
00:24:46Dammit! How could that trash have such kind of power? Why him? I won't accept this! I won't!
00:24:52Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?
00:24:59Apologize to Julian! No!
00:25:04Serena! Apologize! Serena! Serena! Serena, do not apologize! Harper Enterprise is worth hundreds of billions of dollars!
00:25:23You really think we can't survive without him? Let's just get through this crisis, and I swear, I will make
00:25:29him pay for everything that he has done to you!
00:25:32Oh, no!
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:35No, your fucking fault!
00:25:36You apologize to Julian right now! Get on your n-
00:25:40Dad!
00:25:42Damien! Damien!
00:25:43Dad, stop!
00:25:45Damien has only ever stood up for me!
00:25:47He is the only one who actually cares about me, and I won't let you treat him like this!
00:25:50Stay out of the way!
00:25:51No!
00:25:53You really gonna go to war with Julian over this snake?
00:25:57Do you even have any idea who he really is?
00:26:00Whoever he is, it doesn't give him the right to just bully people like this!
00:26:03I cannot stand bullies who throw their weight around, and today that is exactly what you look like to me!
00:26:10Serena, that is enough!
00:26:11So wait, you hate bullies who throw their weight around, right? What about this guy? What about him?
00:26:16He hides behind your name to steal other people's work, he throws tea on me in this very room,
00:26:21he squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a hundred thousand dollar watch!
00:26:24Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:26Oh, I-
00:26:28But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:32Hey, you're no saint. You're just biased.
00:26:36I've been engaged to you for the past six months. I have asked you out 37 times,
00:26:42because I thought we should at least get to know each other.
00:26:44Every time I have asked you out, you said, I'm too busy with work.
00:26:49But that wasn't the truth. The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant.
00:26:54Listen to him and sing your praises, right?
00:26:58Who's that? Oh, let me guess. Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:05Just ignore him.
00:27:06Is he still your fiancé? Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:13I just, I can't stand him. A spoiled heir who thinks the world revolves around him?
00:27:20So what if I did? Who I choose to hang out with is my own choice. We're engaged, not married.
00:27:28I can see whoever I want.
00:27:30Serena, shut up.
00:27:31No, I am not done. Damien has worked himself to the bone. He is driven and disciplined,
00:27:39and when Harper first went public, he was a key reason that we made it.
00:27:43If you had even half his talent, Julian, maybe I would have said yes to you once.
00:27:49But you don't.
00:27:53Damien was a key reason you made it. That's your story, right?
00:27:56What is so funny?
00:27:57I mean, I'm laughing at just how foolish you are.
00:28:01Do you know why, for the past six months, all of your proposals have sailed through?
00:28:06Why every deal that you like happened to have closed? Why every time that you wanted a loan,
00:28:11the banks rolled out a special fast track for you?
00:28:13Because Damien is brilliant. Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way.
00:28:18Damien? Brilliant? That was Julien. Julien is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together.
00:28:27Serena.
00:28:28No, that is impossible. I don't believe it.
00:28:42Hey. Hi's up Serena. In the past six months, I've called in 47 separate connections and cleared a
00:28:47path for you. Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange. And you know, I made you Wall Street's
00:28:52business queen. That's Iron Gate, North Bridge, and even Silver Line. Those are all the top 50 global
00:28:58giants. They've all been backing us behind the scenes.
00:29:00No wonder every project went so smoothly. Julien's the one with this kind of network.
00:29:05Damien's got some nerve stealing credit for something like this. That's a death wish.
00:29:12No, no, no. It's not true, huh? Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me,
00:29:17and my hard work, and my connections. You period fool.
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:32All right, that's enough. I finally got the all clear for my grandfather. I can go home.
00:29:38So, as of right now, our engagement is terminated.
00:29:41Julien, all of this has been our fault. But the engagement...
00:29:45Let him go. I don't need a fiancé who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:52Without my connections and my network, Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:57And it's going to go right back to where it was six months ago.
00:30:01Wait, wait, wait.
00:30:02You're doing it. Go on.
00:30:04Prepare yourselves.
00:30:06Julien. Julien.
00:30:07Julien.
00:30:08Stop sitting.
00:30:08Julien.
00:30:12Serena, you silly, foolish, foolish girl.
00:30:16Grandpa, I have never been clearer. With or without him, I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:22Serena's right. Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper, I'm going to stand by Serena's side,
00:30:26and I'm going to give her everything that I've got.
00:30:29Crap. I'm going to beat the crap out of you once and for all.
00:30:33Dad, that is enough.
00:30:36Dad? Grandpa?
00:30:38I know you have your issues with Damien, but I believe he will prove himself to you, and so will
00:30:44I.
00:30:46I will show everyone here that what Harper achieved over the past six months was my work.
00:30:51It has nothing to do with Julien.
00:30:54This meeting is over.
00:30:57Serena, wait up!
00:30:59You!
00:31:00God, tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:08Serena! Serena!
00:31:09Don't even worry about that. I know our Enterprise took a huge hit today,
00:31:12but as long as we lock down Amber Group's Crescent Lake project, change the game,
00:31:16and everyone will still think that we're in control. Easy.
00:31:20The $3 billion Crescent Lake project.
00:31:23If we can win that contract, we can wipe all the problems we've been facing.
00:31:29Damien, you've secured several of Amber Group's projects before,
00:31:33and I'm going to put this one in your hands, too. It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:36No, no, absolutely. You can count on me. Amber Group's deputy VP of projects.
00:31:41I mean, he trusts me completely.
00:31:44He else has been his eyes.
00:31:52Get the Crescent Lake contract ready. Same as always.
00:31:55Once the Harper team arrives, we hand it straight to them.
00:31:59Ms. Lawson, we just got an update. Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise.
00:32:03The engagement is off. Serena fired him and ended it.
00:32:08Are you sure?
00:32:10Absolutely.
00:32:11Word is she listened to her assistant, Damien, who really stirred the pot,
00:32:14and then Serena personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:17Serena really thinks she got where she was because of Damien?
00:32:20Is that for your little lap dog?
00:32:22Then do we still hand the Crescent Lake project over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:27Without Julian, Harper Enterprise really thinks it's worthy of Crescent Lake?
00:32:31Not a chance. Open it to public video.
00:32:34Yes, ma'am.
00:32:43Now that is an amazing shot, Mr. Brooks.
00:32:45Damien, Crescent Lake's public bid is coming up soon.
00:32:49How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:05Damien, what does this mean, huh?
00:33:08Mr. Brooks, why don't you do yourself a favor and take a closer look?
00:33:13That's one million in clean crypto, untraceable.
00:33:17Harper Enterprise is totally prepared to take on Crescent Lake.
00:33:21We just need you to give us a little extra attention.
00:33:25Oh my, Damien, you're too kind.
00:33:29Sure, it's public bidding on paper, but as long as I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about.
00:33:36But sit tight, contract's yours.
00:33:41Ms. Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway.
00:33:47Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:34:16Well, wow.
00:34:19I'm rinsed.
00:34:19Jillian.
00:34:21I heard Serena kicked you out.
00:34:24Six months of hard work down the drain.
00:34:28What does that feel?
00:34:30Oh, I see.
00:34:31So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit.
00:34:34Is that right?
00:34:35Of course.
00:34:39I'm here to steal you.
00:34:42You see, since your engagement is off, I was thinking, how about you consider me, huh?
00:34:54Guys like us, we don't get to escape alliances.
00:34:57Our families will bear us off either way.
00:35:00So why pick a stranger when there's someone who actually knows you?
00:35:08You see?
00:35:09Childhood friends, same circles, 15 years of school.
00:35:15I'm like, we match, you know?
00:35:19We fit.
00:35:22Hang on, Nora, are you saying this because you're drunk?
00:35:25Or do you-
00:35:34I'm not drunk, okay?
00:35:36You don't have to answer me tonight, just think about it.
00:36:11I told you, I'm not drunk.
00:36:13Nora, your swimsuit come off.
00:36:16Oh, shit.
00:36:17I'm drunk.
00:36:19Nora, your swimsuit come off.
00:36:22Oh, shit.
00:36:23I'm drunk.
00:36:39Miss Lawson, Amber Group's distinguished CEO.
00:36:42Allow me the pleasure of introducing myself.
00:36:46Oh, I am so sorry.
00:36:48Bad, bad timing.
00:36:49Truly terrible timing.
00:36:59Don't move.
00:37:00If that jacket slips for you in a second, listen.
00:37:03Okay, aren't you great about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:05Amber Group's CEO got caught in the scandal at a pool party?
00:37:09Remember, Mom, those to my company's visibility.
00:37:12But I'm not letting the pictures of my breasts go through.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:17Okay.
00:37:20But if you stay through to me like this for the rest of the night,
00:37:26I think my heart is going to skip on its chest.
00:37:41And suffer.
00:37:42Okay?
00:37:44If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:53Please, just walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:11Speak of the devil of all good times.
00:38:19No, this is a private party for Amber Group's CEO.
00:38:22You know what I lost?
00:38:23Not exactly the kind of place where anybody could just wander into.
00:38:27Oh, wait.
00:38:30Well, I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:36Feelings for Serena weren't that deep after all.
00:38:39Can I help you with something?
00:38:41Seriously?
00:38:42This woman's even prettier than Serena.
00:38:45How does a loser like Julian always get women?
00:38:47I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:38:49Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here, she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:38:56Pouring herself out like this?
00:38:59It's me, I'll take her here.
00:39:00Is that so?
00:39:02Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Crescent Lake project.
00:39:09What, you're bidding too?
00:39:11Yeah, I know you got connection and that's great, you know,
00:39:13but you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:15Me, I got real talent, all right?
00:39:17And I'm going to win Crescent Lake for Serena.
00:39:20You, you're just going to fucking lose like you lose everything else.
00:39:24Good luck.
00:39:36See that?
00:39:37That is a shameless whore.
00:39:40That woman seems familiar.
00:39:42Listen man, you don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:46All right, come on, let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:39:48Let's go socialize and maybe we'll run into the host of the party lost in herself.
00:39:54And if we do, I'll make sure we're going to go to brush.
00:40:14So that pretty boy Damien actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:19Tonight we're going to see who's really on top.
00:40:22Okay, manners, this is a public event.
00:40:25What?
00:40:27You've known me since we were kids, why would I pretend around you?
00:40:31But if you like glasses, I can do glasses.
00:40:35Oh, can you?
00:40:36You can do glasses?
00:40:37Yeah.
00:40:38Ms. Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:46I'll let you get to it.
00:40:50Sally?
00:40:51I'll let you get to it.
00:41:07Julian.
00:41:12Surprised you showed up.
00:41:13You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:17You know what?
00:41:19Mason Brooks, Amber Group's deputy VP of projects, already agreed to award the contract to Harper
00:41:24Enterprise.
00:41:26You can't win.
00:41:31I hear the Crescent Lake project is basically yours.
00:41:34Congratulations.
00:41:36Serena, you are the business queen of Wall Street.
00:41:38And with Damien backing you up, it's unstoppable.
00:41:41When the two of you take off, don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:44Of course, you know, we're going to take care of you guys.
00:41:46Thank you so much.
00:41:54See that, Julian?
00:41:56Everybody already knows that Crescent Lake belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:59I suggest you walk out of here before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:42:02It's funny.
00:42:04You see, my Clark Group has deeper capital, better tech,
00:42:07and a stronger global record than Harper Enterprise.
00:42:10So I'm just curious, why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:14He recognizes Damien's talent, of course.
00:42:21I need to take this.
00:42:29Hi, Julian.
00:42:32What century are you living in?
00:42:35You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:38Then what does?
00:42:40Aren't you really that fucking stupid?
00:42:42Of course this.
00:42:45I paid Mason Brooks one million in crypto.
00:42:48What do you have that's going to be that?
00:42:51You paid Mason Brooks?
00:42:54That's impossible.
00:42:55He wouldn't dare.
00:42:56That's impossible.
00:42:57He wouldn't dare.
00:42:58Yeah, you want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart.
00:43:01But hey, you're a very lovely, beautiful escort.
00:43:05Why don't you do us all a favor, get up on that stage and give us a nice little poll
00:43:09show.
00:43:09Hey.
00:43:10Hey, I'm going to tell you, you want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:16Because every time I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune,
00:43:20I'm going to tell you, you're the first time I get to.
00:43:21Capital technology is useless.
00:43:25Fucking trash.
00:43:28Mason Brooks, you've got a lot on there.
00:43:31He's finished.
00:43:32Mr. Brooks is finished.
00:43:34Who the fuck is this?
00:43:36Who are you?
00:43:37What do you think?
00:43:38You're the Amber Group CEO or something?
00:43:41Who gave you the fucking guts?
00:43:43It's adorable, no?
00:43:44Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:44:02What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:07You hit me.
00:44:09You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:11I can have Mason Brooks crush you with one phone call.
00:44:17There he is.
00:44:18Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:19You're finished.
00:44:22Mr. Brooks.
00:44:23What do you mean my friend?
00:44:25There's a woman here that says she's going to report to you.
00:44:27Come on, please, teach her a lesson.
00:44:28Oh, report me?
00:44:30Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:31This woman right here.
00:44:36Miss Lawson?
00:44:37She's even, she's even quoting the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:40Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:41What?
00:44:43What?
00:44:46This can't be?
00:44:49Go ahead, laugh.
00:44:51Laugh some more.
00:44:52Are you insane, Damien?
00:44:54You'll say anything out loud.
00:44:55Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:44:56She's just some gold-taking whore.
00:44:58I mean, even if she rats you out, who's going to believe this?
00:45:02Why are you beating me?
00:45:03Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:05When did I ever take your money?
00:45:06I never took one cent.
00:45:09Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:11Idiot!
00:45:12Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:15Miss Lawson, this, this Damien, he's a lunatic.
00:45:18He's making things up.
00:45:20Don't listen to him.
00:45:21I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:24Not once!
00:45:27Miss Lawson?
00:45:30No, no, no, wait.
00:45:31There's, you, you're Nora Lawson, Amber's group CEO?
00:45:35How is that possible?
00:45:35How is that fucking-
00:45:36Mr. Brooks?
00:45:37Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:40Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:43We promise we won't let you down.
00:45:48Stop!
00:45:49Shut the fuck up!
00:45:50When did I ever give you anything?
00:45:54Miss Lawson?
00:45:55These Harper Enterprise people, they're all out of their minds.
00:45:59They lie like the wind.
00:46:01I can't believe a word they say.
00:46:03Miss Lawson?
00:46:05Miss Lawson?
00:46:07She's Nora Lawson?
00:46:12The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:14Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:16You can leave now.
00:46:20Miss Lawson, I am so sorry.
00:46:23Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being inappropriate.
00:46:29But I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:33He is blunt, yes, but his ability is exceptional.
00:46:38Please.
00:46:39Give Harper Enterprise the contract and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:46:45Exceptional ability?
00:46:47Are you sure about that?
00:46:49Of course.
00:46:50If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:46:55You're about to find out.
00:47:02Damien?
00:47:04What does she mean?
00:47:06Oh, shit.
00:47:07I can't let her find out I secured every project that arrives.
00:47:11So she's upset because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:13So she wants revenge.
00:47:15So she's going to embarrass Harper Enterprise in front of everyone.
00:47:18So what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:20Let's go.
00:47:20Go?
00:47:21If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:26Even if Miss Lawson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:29Serena, please.
00:47:30Okay.
00:47:30I'm sorry.
00:47:32Here we go now.
00:47:34All right.
00:47:34I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones, but we need to go now.
00:47:37Come on.
00:47:37What is wrong with you today?
00:47:40Are you hiding something from me?
00:47:41I...
00:47:54You want to understand the rules on top there, sweetheart?
00:47:58Technology capital.
00:48:00Useless fucking trash.
00:48:02What?
00:48:03Shit!
00:48:04She actually recorded it?
00:48:05And escort.
00:48:06So why don't you do us all a nice little favor?
00:48:08Get up on that stage and give us a nice little whole show.
00:48:14Who is that?
00:48:15He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:18That's Damien Blackwell.
00:48:19Harper Enterprise's executive assistant.
00:48:21How do you not know him?
00:48:22All of the best Amber projects being sent to Harper
00:48:25Enterprises over the past six months, and now we know they were bought.
00:48:31That's not true.
00:48:32All of that's a lie.
00:48:34Just turn it up.
00:48:36Turn it up right now!
00:48:37Stop him!
00:48:39Let go of me!
00:48:42Damien, you did this behind my back?
00:48:44This is your talent?
00:48:45Your ability?
00:48:47Yes, Damien, please just see us.
00:48:49Mr. Brooks is very simple.
00:48:51What a fucking routine to say to Samuel.
00:48:52Who are you to say anything?
00:48:54What do you think, you're Amber Group CEO?
00:48:56Amber Group.
00:48:58I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:48:59Turn it off, please.
00:49:00It's okay.
00:49:00Okay, Ms. Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:49:02Just, please stop it!
00:49:04Please, please!
00:49:06Please!
00:49:06The library is one thing, but mistaking Ms. Lawson for an escort?
00:49:10A whore?
00:49:12He's fucking blind.
00:49:13The best part?
00:49:14He confessed right in front of her that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:18Genius!
00:49:19And Serena trusted him to be her assistant?
00:49:22I mean, what does that say about her judgment?
00:49:25Damien, you have disappointed me beyond words.
00:49:28Serena, I did it because I cared about you.
00:49:30Because I care about Harper Enterprise.
00:49:32Please, I'm happy to tell you the truth.
00:49:34Enough.
00:49:36Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:38Mason Brooks, you're fired.
00:49:40Effective immediately.
00:49:42I'm done.
00:49:44The Crescent Lake Project.
00:49:47Harper Enterprise is disqualified.
00:49:50Every single project Amber Group has done together with them will be suspended.
00:49:55The projects will be back for competitive bidding.
00:49:59No, no, you can't do that.
00:50:02Those projects are our next three years.
00:50:04They affect thousands of employees.
00:50:06Their lives are future.
00:50:08And why am the person who hired Trash and called it talent?
00:50:13Real talent.
00:50:20Pathetic.
00:50:42I just avenged you in front of a lot of people.
00:50:45Asking for our dinner isn't too much, right?
00:50:47Not at all.
00:50:49You pick my treat.
00:50:51Generous.
00:50:52Let's go.
00:50:53Time to rob the tycoon.
00:50:57Miss Lawson, Damien was wrong to bribe anyone.
00:51:02And I apologize on his behalf.
00:51:05Just please give Harper Enterprise another chance.
00:51:09I will meet the highest standards.
00:51:12I will deliver a perfect result on every project.
00:51:15Perfect result.
00:51:17And what exactly guarantees that?
00:51:20Your empty suit assistant?
00:51:23Miss Lawson, Damien made a mistake.
00:51:27But his ability is exceptional.
00:51:30For six months, he managed every Harper Enterprise project flawlessly.
00:51:34No errors, no delays.
00:51:36If you don't pull this contract, I guarantee he will make sure you see his value.
00:51:44He managed flawlessly.
00:51:46He's not the only empty suit here.
00:51:49You're too.
00:51:51Miss Lawson, you are crossing a line.
00:51:56I understand that you and Julian are close and you want to get back at me for him.
00:52:01But humiliating someone like this, isn't that a little cruel?
00:52:04You really think I froze our cooperation because Damien and Bribe Mason?
00:52:10Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:12For six months, Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted from Ember Group.
00:52:19For one reason, Julian Clark.
00:52:23Damien has nothing to do with that.
00:52:26He was just a messenger boy who picked up the contracts.
00:52:30What?
00:52:31When Julian was there, bribe or no bribe, Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:37But now, Julian's gone, so the special treatment is gone.
00:52:42Damien's little ribbing incident?
00:52:44It was just a convenient excuse to take everything back.
00:52:48Understand now?
00:52:52And about those flawless projects, Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly because Damien is brilliant.
00:53:00It ran smoothly because Julian called every partner, every supplier, every gatekeeper and cleared the path for you.
00:53:08Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:12No.
00:53:15That's not true. I don't believe in you.
00:53:18You don't believe me?
00:53:19Then watch.
00:53:20Watch what happens when Julian leaves.
00:53:24Let's see if your exceptional Damien can keep everything perfect when Julian is not there to hold the world together
00:53:31for you.
00:53:33Come on, let's go.
00:53:41Julian, is what she's saying true?
00:53:45You were right about one thing, Serena.
00:53:48Julian and I are closer than you thought.
00:53:50That's why it disgusts me watching him waste his life away on a selfish and blind woman like you.
00:54:02No, no, no, Serena, Serena, do not listen to her nonsense.
00:54:05Harper's success is based off of my hard work.
00:54:09Okay, Nora Lawson, she's just, she's attacking and slandering my name to defend Julian.
00:54:14You, you have to believe me. Please, you have to understand.
00:54:16Because of you, Crescent Lake is gone.
00:54:20Every Amber project is gone.
00:54:22Harper Enterprise is on the edge of collapse and you're, you're asking me to trust you?
00:54:27How? Tell me how.
00:54:30Please, just listen to me.
00:54:32Okay, yeah, we lost Amber group, but we're not finished.
00:54:35I mean, we still have the partners and the CEOs.
00:54:37I mean, they love me.
00:54:38They absolutely love and adore me.
00:54:41I promise.
00:54:41You know what?
00:54:42Matter of fact, I'm going to call and I'm going to get you some new projects right now.
00:54:49Hello, Mr. Foster, it's Damien here.
00:54:51I hear the Grandview Plaza is taking bids and Harper Enterprise, you know, we would absolutely love.
00:54:57Harper Enterprise? Who the hell is that?
00:54:59You think you're even in the same league as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:04Mr. Foster, what do you mean?
00:55:08Last time we spoke, you said that you believed in the Harper Enterprise and that you would love to work
00:55:13together.
00:55:13Listen up, that's because Julian Clark was in your damn Enterprise.
00:55:17I was giving him respect.
00:55:20You don't flatter yourself, bunch of blind dumbasses.
00:55:24Call me again and I'll block your fucking number.
00:55:27So what really was Julian?
00:55:28No, no, that's not possible.
00:55:31I don't believe that.
00:55:32I don't.
00:55:33Hello, Mr. Parker, it's Damien.
00:55:35I was hoping to talk about future collaborations.
00:55:37Damien, you've got the fucking nerve to call me.
00:55:41I gave Harper Enterprise project because of Mr. Clark.
00:55:45And then you turned around and claimed you closed the deal.
00:55:48Who gave you the audacity?
00:55:50Shameless trash.
00:55:54Miss Parker.
00:55:56Miss Parker, no, no, goddammit.
00:55:59No, no, I don't believe this.
00:56:01I don't believe this fucking Julian this whole fucking time.
00:56:05Goddammit.
00:56:06Sorry, sorry.
00:56:07Um, hello.
00:56:09Mr. Turner, it's Damien.
00:56:11Damien, who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:13Calling me directly?
00:56:15Learned some manners.
00:56:18Julian was polite enough to tolerate you playing sideman with his fiancée.
00:56:22I'm not, you bastard tooey.
00:56:25Mr. Turner?
00:56:27Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:31What the fuck is happening?
00:56:39Miss Harper?
00:56:40This is bad.
00:56:42Our partners are flooding us with messages.
00:56:44They're suspending contracts, pulling out a deal.
00:56:46Wait, what is happening?
00:56:48They said before they only worked with Harper Enterprise because Julian Clark backed us.
00:56:53Now that he's gone, they don't trust us with their project.
00:56:56Julian.
00:56:58It's Julian again.
00:57:03It's true.
00:57:05They only gave us deals because of Julian.
00:57:09Julian!
00:57:10No, no, no, no, Swina, please, okay?
00:57:12They're just saying that because Julian has been paying them off.
00:57:15Think about it, okay?
00:57:16But you know what?
00:57:16Just give you some time and I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:19I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:20I swear.
00:57:21Get away from me!
00:57:23You liar, you fraud, Damien.
00:57:26All those CEOs, they only had you pick up contracts from them.
00:57:31And you told me you negotiated the deals.
00:57:34I swear, I didn't know that they would.
00:57:37I swear, I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:39Get out of my sight.
00:57:41No!
00:58:00Fuck!
00:58:01Damn it!
00:58:01No!
00:58:02I was this close to locking Serena down, stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:05I'm not letting it end like this.
00:58:08Fuck!
00:58:12Damn it!
00:58:12Serena, you really thought you were smart.
00:58:16But you're really just pathetic, trash.
00:58:21Without Julian, you're nothing.
00:58:33Dad warned you, Grandpa warned you, and you still wouldn't listen.
00:58:42You ignored everything Julian did, and worshipped a con artist like Damien.
00:59:01And now look at you.
00:59:03Projects gone. Company collapsing.
00:59:10Idiot.
00:59:12Arrogant, stupid, idiot.
00:59:16I'm so stupid.
00:59:22Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:31I know I messed up.
00:59:42Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:47I know, I know I was wrong.
00:59:49Look.
00:59:51Always damn Julian!
00:59:53Julian.
00:59:56Come back, okay?
00:59:59Please come back.
01:00:09You don't have to be scared.
01:00:12Harper Enterprise's business queen is so much better than those cheap girls.
01:00:16Once I lock her down.
01:00:18Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine.
01:00:22Damien!
01:00:23You sick bastard!
01:00:25You sick bastard!
01:00:30I really mean it.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:33You fucking...
01:00:34Get off me.
01:00:35I'm telling you the truth!
01:00:36I mean it!
01:00:37Okay?
01:00:37I promise.
01:00:39I'll treat you well.
01:00:43You fucking monster dead.
01:00:45Get off me, please.
01:00:47I'm begging you.
01:00:48Don't.
01:00:48Say yes.
01:00:49Say yes.
01:00:49Please.
01:00:50Say yes.
01:00:51Please.
01:00:51What are you doing?
01:00:53Oh!
01:00:55Oh!
01:00:56You're dead!
01:00:56I'm sorry!
01:00:57Help me!
01:00:58I tried being nice to you.
01:01:00I fucking tried!
01:01:01But you keep fighting me back!
01:01:02Help!
01:01:04Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:05Get fucking screaming!
01:01:07Right?
01:01:08You're not gonna say no.
01:01:10I'm gonna fuck you.
01:01:12Help!
01:01:14Help!
01:01:16Help!
01:01:16Jillian!
01:01:17Jillian!
01:01:18Help!
01:01:19Oh!
01:01:21Get out of here!
01:01:23Stop!
01:01:23Let me go!
01:01:25Jillian knows where the fucking lands.
01:01:27This isn't over.
01:01:32Jillian!
01:01:34Thank God you came and you had like-
01:01:36We are not that close.
01:01:40I was just passing through.
01:01:41I heard some screaming, so I stopped by to check.
01:01:44You.
01:01:44I want you to call the Harper family.
01:01:47Tell them to come pick her up.
01:01:48Yes, sir.
01:01:51Jillian!
01:01:52I am sorry.
01:01:54I know.
01:01:55I was wrong.
01:01:57Just...
01:01:58Please come back.
01:01:59Jillian!
01:02:01Our reservation is in 10 minutes.
01:02:02Let's go.
01:02:04Let's go.
01:02:11Serena.
01:02:13I told you.
01:02:15Over and over and over again.
01:02:20That Damien was not a good man.
01:02:22And you refused to listen.
01:02:26And Julian.
01:02:27If Julian doesn't come along...
01:02:28Just at the right time.
01:02:30Oh my God.
01:02:32I can't even...
01:02:33I can't even think about it.
01:02:35If you don't do something about that stubborn pride of yours...
01:02:38One day...
01:02:39You live to regret it.
01:02:41Dad, Grandpa, please.
01:02:43Stop.
01:02:43I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:46I'll...
01:02:47I'll...
01:02:48I'll...
01:02:48I'll apologize...
01:02:49To Julian.
01:02:50And...
01:02:51I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:55The problem with that is that, uh...
01:02:57You may feel that way.
01:02:58But Julian might not.
01:03:01Grandpa...
01:03:02Don't worry.
01:03:04I...
01:03:05I will apologize properly.
01:03:06And I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:10That's all we can do.
01:03:13So John...
01:03:14Put out a city-wide bolo...
01:03:17On that bastard Damien.
01:03:19He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:22We're not letting that go.
01:03:25No.
01:03:26We're not.
01:03:27Understood.
01:03:36No.
01:03:59Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:02Um...
01:04:05What is this supposed to be?
01:04:08A gift for you.
01:04:10Myself.
01:04:12I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:14Amber group backs you up.
01:04:16No questions asked.
01:04:18But first...
01:04:19You have to accept the gift.
01:04:22Properly.
01:04:31Uh...
01:04:33Hey...
01:04:33Can you not...
01:04:34Do that?
01:04:35You're making this incredibly awkward.
01:04:38You know a woman like me shows up a gift wrapped and any man would've, you know...
01:04:44Housed me by now.
01:04:46Don't tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:49Hung up?
01:04:52No, I'm gonna be hung up on Serena.
01:04:53She and I were never romantic.
01:04:56No, it's just a...
01:04:57Business marriage between two families.
01:05:00Things are moving too fast.
01:05:02The other thing twice.
01:05:04But I don't have time.
01:05:06My family is preparing to send me off into a...
01:05:09European alliance.
01:05:11Some old money.
01:05:13Perfect match they can show off at Wallace.
01:05:16Wait. What are you talking about? Are you serious?
01:05:18Yes, Julian.
01:05:20My uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune and...
01:05:23He'll do whatever it takes to get rid of me permanently.
01:05:26But I don't want a stranger. I want you.
01:05:28No, I love you.
01:05:31Julian...
01:05:33Let's make it official.
01:05:35Let's get married.
01:05:39You know, if...
01:05:41You'll marry me, my family won't dare object.
01:05:45Please, Julian.
01:05:57Okay.
01:05:59I'll marry you.
01:06:00Are you serious?
01:06:02No take-backs.
01:06:03No take-backs.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:05Ever.
01:06:05I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:08But...
01:06:09Can you...
01:06:10Help me out?
01:06:12Um...
01:06:12My hands are getting wet.
01:06:15So impatient.
01:06:20It's like you said.
01:06:22If I accept the gift...
01:06:25Then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:31Then be gentle.
01:06:41Julian, you...
01:06:43Didn't forget what you promised last night, right?
01:06:46Uh...
01:06:47No.
01:06:47Because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:06:49Of course I remember that.
01:06:51You know, when someone wraps themselves as a gift...
01:06:54Kinda...
01:06:54You kinda remember that for the rest of your life, you know?
01:06:57Details!
01:06:58Those are just...
01:07:00Tiny details.
01:07:02Look like big details to me.
01:07:07Julian...
01:07:09Can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:12Serena, I really don't think there's anything we need to discuss.
01:07:14Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:16I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:17I misjudged everything.
01:07:19Please, just give me one more chance and...
01:07:22I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:24And if you take me back, just tell me what you want.
01:07:26I'll do anything.
01:07:27I'm sorry, I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:33Boyfriend?
01:07:39Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:07:43Well, Julian hates them too.
01:07:45And yet you stayed at Harper Enterprise for six full months.
01:07:49He asked you out 37 times.
01:07:52So tell me, what exactly are you proud of?
01:07:55Hmm?
01:07:57Men like him?
01:07:59If you treat him like trash, someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:08:04Listen carefully, we are all together now, so...
01:08:07Better keep your distance.
01:08:09If you don't...
01:08:11I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:14Come on.
01:08:15We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:18Let's not be late.
01:08:19Wedding outfits.
01:08:23Let's go.
01:08:28Let's go.
01:08:34Let's go.
01:08:37So how did it go?
01:08:39Julian?
01:08:40He's with Nora.
01:08:42Oh, God.
01:08:46Nora.
01:08:47Nora Lawson, CEO of Amber group.
01:08:51Of course!
01:08:52You know, Serena, it's an elite like Julian.
01:08:56The second you let go, somebody comes and grabs him.
01:09:00You don't get another chance.
01:09:02God gave our family a chance, and we blew it.
01:09:07God, forgive the Harpers, please.
01:09:12Ms. Hopper, finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:15Hopper Enterprises' cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:18If we don't act immediately, we won't even have enough to make payroll this month.
01:09:24Great. Now all of Wall Street knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:29That was gonna lend to us now? How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:33This is my fault, okay? I was blind. Are you proud now?
01:09:39I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:09:42I didn't realize that Julian was running at everything, and the moment he's gone, I can't do anything.
01:09:52Grandpa, I'm so sorry. I ruined Harpers Enterprise. I ruined everything.
01:10:00Dad, you're the one who arranged the engagement with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:05So maybe you should go talk to him and see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:10Yes, Grandpa. Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:14If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:17Clark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:21Yes, they honored our engagement.
01:10:25And that was a mercy. That was a blessing.
01:10:28But you threw it away.
01:10:34Still, for your sake and for your future, and for our future, we'll fight.
01:10:47Serena, when you see Julian's grandfather, your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:55If he forgives you, only then will you know that you have a chance to get Julian back.
01:11:02Understood, Grandpa.
01:11:04For the Harper family, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:07Thank you, Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:28Perfect timing. They're just about to start.
01:11:32Engagement party?
01:11:34So they're really engaged?
01:11:36Wait, how is this all happening so fast?
01:11:40What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:43Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson have known each other since they were born,
01:11:46and everyone is so happy that they're finally getting married.
01:11:50Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:52You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:11:56Then please leave.
01:11:58Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:12:05If there's an engagement party, that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:13And that means we're done.
01:12:17There's no more chances left.
01:12:19We're leaving.
01:12:21Is this my punishment?
01:12:25All right, everyone.
01:12:27Big smiles.
01:12:29Big smiles.
01:12:30Woo!
01:12:43Julian!
01:12:45Are you okay?
01:12:46Hey.
01:12:47I'm sorry.
01:12:48I'm sorry.
01:12:50I'm sorry.
01:12:50I'm sorry.
01:12:51I'm sorry.
01:12:51I'm sorry.
01:12:51I'm sorry.
01:12:52I'm sorry.
01:12:52I'm sorry.
01:12:52What is it?
01:12:54Oh, it's nothing.
01:12:55Come on.
01:12:55Dinner's almost ready.
01:13:10Dad!
01:13:11The Harpers!
01:13:13My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:17For a young, six months at Harper Enterprise, it was a total humiliation.
01:13:26We've shown that Harper had more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:31Understood, Dad.
01:13:40Okay, enough, Serena.
01:13:42Okay, enough, Serena.
01:13:42Stop.
01:13:43You can't drink this away.
01:13:45Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:13:48If you don't get up, it's over.
01:13:51Just leave me the fuck alone.
01:13:53Okay?
01:13:54Just let me drink.
01:13:55I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:57I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:13:59No, you...
01:14:02All right, I've got to take this.
01:14:04Don't move.
01:14:05I'll be right back, and then I am taking you home.
01:14:17Nora.
01:14:20Okay, Nora.
01:14:22Be honest.
01:14:23You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:25You just got engaged, and you're getting married next week?
01:14:30Let's see.
01:14:31You've known Julian for 20-plus years.
01:14:34You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:14:35I've liked Julian for 20 years, and I finally got him to say yes.
01:14:40You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:14:42Lock it down from what?
01:14:44From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:14:46They're collapsing and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:14:50I have to move fast.
01:14:52If they start begging, what if Julian hesitates?
01:14:57But Julian and Serena were forced into that.
01:15:00There's no real love.
01:15:02Why will Julian hesitate?
01:15:03What are you afraid of?
01:15:04You don't get it.
01:15:07Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months, and it wasn't just because he's grandfather
01:15:12watery.
01:15:13Then why?
01:15:16Because Serena is his type.
01:15:21Wait, what?
01:15:24I am Julian's type?
01:15:27No way!
01:15:29I'm serious.
01:15:30The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:15:33That exact time.
01:15:34Good.
01:15:35I mean, with his personality, even if his grandfather forced him, he would have stayed there for three
01:15:41days max and then vanished.
01:15:43He would not stay there and take six months of humiliation if he didn't want it to.
01:15:49That's Julian Clark.
01:15:51So that's why?
01:15:53Serena must have destroyed him.
01:15:55I have to get married fast.
01:15:58I cannot give her a single chance.
01:16:00So that's what it was.
01:16:02Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months because I'm his type.
01:16:06He likes me.
01:16:08That means I still have a chance.
01:16:10I still have a chance.
01:16:12This is my last shot.
01:16:13I am not wasting it.
01:16:22Where is she?
01:16:28Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:45Wow, they look perfect together.
01:16:48They're childhood sweethearts, the whole fantasy.
01:16:51Oh my God, brilliant.
01:16:54And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:16Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:19Who is that?
01:17:21Is that Serena Harper?
01:17:22CEO of Harper Enterprise?
01:17:24You mean the woman who rode on Julian's back to the IPO
01:17:27and then kicked him out like he was nothing?
01:17:29Without Julian, Harper Enterprise is basically bankrupt.
01:17:33Pathetic.
01:17:34Wait!
01:17:36Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:41Julian, I know you like me.
01:17:44You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:52I know.
01:17:54I was wrong.
01:17:54Totally wrong.
01:17:55Okay?
01:17:56Just please.
01:17:57Give me another chance.
01:18:02Our engagement is over.
01:18:04In fact, you were the one that called it off.
01:18:07Look, this is my wedding.
01:18:09Have some dignity.
01:18:10In fact, can we get her out of here, please?
01:18:12No, please.
01:18:13I'll do anything.
01:18:14Just stop.
01:18:20I know you hate me because I rejected you 37 times, but I'll make it up to you.
01:18:28I'll chase you 37 times, 370 times, whatever it did.
01:18:33Can we please get her out?
01:18:35No, don't touch me!
01:18:37Julian, what do you want from me?
01:18:39I know you like me.
01:18:40So why won't you give me another chance?
01:18:42Why?
01:18:47Simple question.
01:18:49Do you love me?
01:18:53I...
01:18:53Exactly.
01:18:54You don't.
01:18:55You didn't realize you made a mistake.
01:18:57You realized that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:19:01What you want is not a chance, but a tool.
01:19:05You want me back so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:09No, that...
01:19:11That's not true.
01:19:13Just please.
01:19:15Listen.
01:19:16Please, listen.
01:19:16Enough.
01:19:17Serena.
01:19:18When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise, do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:23Let me ask you this.
01:19:24If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed, if your value kept climbing,
01:19:29would you still be here standing in front of me today?
01:19:33I...
01:19:34No.
01:19:35No, you wouldn't.
01:19:35You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:37You'd be celebrating.
01:19:38You'd say that you earned the business queen crown.
01:19:41You'd be mocking me, calling me pathetic.
01:19:43You'd say that firing me was the best decision you ever made.
01:19:46Plus, you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:19:48No.
01:19:50No, Serena.
01:19:52That's not me.
01:19:54Just admit it, Serena.
01:19:56You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:58But on my wedding day, you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:20:01Why?
01:20:02Because you want me back as your lifeline.
01:20:04Your donor.
01:20:05Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:07But the moment I stop being useful, you will kick me away again without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:13No.
01:20:14No, Julian.
01:20:16That is not true.
01:20:18The night that you saved me from Damien, I...
01:20:23I felt something for you.
01:20:25I did.
01:20:26Stop.
01:20:26Do not perform at my wedding.
01:20:28You don't regret hurting me.
01:20:30You regret choosing the wrong man.
01:20:32You regret that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:20:35You know, I'll admit, when I met you, you were exactly my type.
01:20:41But once I got to know you, once I realized what you really are, all I felt was disgust.
01:20:48But Nora, she has cared for me since we were kids.
01:20:56When I was sick, she stayed up all night taking care of me.
01:21:01When I was at my lowest, she pulled me back up.
01:21:04Even when I went back to Harper Enterprise on the engagement, she still supported me.
01:21:10She still took hits from me.
01:21:15So, let me ask you.
01:21:18Why would I give up all that for you?
01:21:22What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:29Get her out.
01:21:30No, no.
01:21:31No, please don't, Julian.
01:21:32Don't, don't, don't, I'm begging you, just please let me explain.
01:21:37Please, please, please, please, please, stop, let me go.
01:21:40Julian, please, don't do it.
01:21:42Crashing a wedding like that?
01:21:44I thought she actually loved him.
01:21:46Turns out, she just realized, without Julian, she can't stay on top.
01:21:50She used Julian's feelings like a weapon.
01:21:52Totally vampire-drained him dry.
01:22:24Mr. Clark!
01:22:26Mr. Clark!
01:22:43I'm sure you've all heard.
01:22:45Harper Enterprise, effective today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:49So, you're all being terminated.
01:22:52Are you watching?
01:22:52What?
01:22:54Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:22:56I've given this company 15 years.
01:22:59You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:23:0115 years, wow.
01:23:03Congratulations.
01:23:04You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a soup.
01:23:10You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:13I've seen how you all work.
01:23:17Bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud.
01:23:24Everyone beat us a smile.
01:23:26So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms.
01:23:30And once you sign them, hand over your badges, or you're going to rob you.
01:23:37This.
01:23:38This is it.
01:23:53Are you satisfied now?
01:23:56Satisfied?
01:23:57Thomas went to my grandfather.
01:23:59He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:24:04I saved you.
01:24:07Julian.
01:24:10If I didn't treat you the way I did, would any of this be different?
01:24:24Julian, why don't you get thrown away and still land something better?
01:24:27I spent my whole life climbing upwards, and now I'm stuck at the bottom, hunted by cops.
01:24:32I won't accept it.
01:24:34Julian, what's yours?
01:24:35Julian!
01:24:40Let me go!
01:24:41Fucking let me go!
01:24:42I already spared you.
01:24:44You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:46Go ahead, take him to the police.
01:24:47Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:48I want him to ride in jail.
01:24:50Fucking coward.
01:24:50You're a fucking coward!
01:24:52Hiding behind your goddamn family's wedding.
01:24:54No, no, fight me.
01:24:55101.
01:24:55101, let the guards go!
01:24:57You don't have the fucking guts, do you?
01:25:03Hey, Julian.
01:25:04What was that?
01:25:06Just taking out the trash.
01:25:08Are you done here?
01:25:11No.
01:25:12Let's go.
01:25:19I was wrong!
01:25:21Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:23I was wrong.
01:25:24I was wrong.
01:25:25I was wrong.
01:25:26Doesn't do it?
01:25:27I was wrong.
