05:27Mr. Thorne here works directly for the CEO.
05:30You touch him, you spit in Quintec's face.
05:32And that means you're messing with the rules of this entire city.
05:35The skinny cough pulled out his handcuffs and rattled them.
05:38Save the sob story.
05:40You're going to County Holden.
05:41Oh, and you're paying Mr. Thorne's tab.
05:44Plus the restaurant damages, medical bills, and emotional distress.
05:48Get on your knees, beg Mr. Thorne for forgiveness, and maybe we don't lock you up.
05:52Are you kidding me?
05:54He started the trouble, and you just blindly convict us?
05:57Damn right I do.
05:58You know why?
05:59Because you're a nobody.
06:01You're in our town.
06:02You play by our rules.
06:05Mr. Thorne letting you pay his tab was a damn privilege.
06:08Stop whining like a little bitch.
06:10I'd love to see if your local rules can hold up against federal law.
06:14Oh, we got a tough guy.
06:16Looks like you need a hard lesson.
06:19I dodged him.
06:20He lost it.
06:21He ripped his taser from his belt and spark it.
06:24Want to do this the hard way?
06:29Enjoy the ride, asshole.
06:3250,000 volts ripped through my body.
06:35My muscles locked up.
06:36I almost collapsed.
06:38Julian caught me just in time.
06:40You badge-wearing pieces of shit.
06:42This is abuse of power.
06:44Abuse of power?
06:46This is official police business.
06:48The big cop pulled his taser tube, aiming it right at Julian.
06:52Quintech's business is our business.
06:55You arrogant punks need to learn respect.
06:59He pulled the chipper.
07:00Julian grunted as the prongs hit him.
07:02The smell of burnt fabric hit the air.
07:04You corrupt lapdogs.
07:06You're gonna regret this.
07:11Regret it?
07:12You can cry back a regret when you're getting your ass beat in cell block D every single day.
07:17He used the taser to tip Julian's chin up.
07:19He turned back to Chase, instantly switching back to his sickeningly sweet.
07:23How's that, Mr. Thorne?
07:25Was that enough juice?
07:26I can hit him again if you want.
07:28Juice him again.
07:30Show them exactly who runs this city.
07:32The big cop kicked me while I was down.
07:34Then he bowed his head to Chase again.
07:36Hey, Mr. Thorne, quick question.
07:38When's Ms. Quinn's due date?
07:40Me and my partner here want to send a nice gift basket.
07:43You know, to properly congratulate you and the CEO?
07:46Yeah, absolutely.
07:48We'd love to celebrate with you.
07:50Maybe with the new baby coming, Ms. Quinn might need some extra security.
07:55Maybe put in a good word for us.
07:56Chase smirked, completely full of himself.
07:59About four or five months out.
08:01Ultrasound confirmed it.
08:02It's a boy.
08:03Harper is pregnant.
08:05The words hit me harder than the taser.
08:07I just got back to the city after a six-month business trip overseas.
08:14Harper is pregnant.
08:16Four to five months.
08:17The math hit my brain.
08:19My blood ran ice cold.
08:20Then, it boiled.
08:22We've been married for two years.
08:24She kept stringing me along, saying,
08:26She was, too busy with the company to have kids.
08:29I forced myself up off the floor.
08:31The skinny cop saw me moving.
08:33He jammed the taser right into the back of my neck.
08:36The world went pitch black.
08:37My knees buckled.
08:39Chase grabbed a heavy wooden stool.
08:42He raised it over my head.
08:43Ready to smash my skull in.
08:45Right at that moment.
08:46A sound echoed from the restaurant entrance.
08:49The sharp, rapid click of designer heels.
08:54Harper stepped into the wrecked restaurant.
08:57She didn't even blink at the broken glass.
08:59But when her eyes landed on Chase, her whole demeanor softened.
09:03Oh, my God, Chase.
09:05Baby, what happened?
09:06Who did this to you?
09:08Harper, thank God you're here.
09:10These two are psycho.
09:12They assaulted us.
09:13Attacked the cops.
09:15And this guy even claimed to be your husband.
09:18Mrs. Quinn.
09:19Perfect timing.
09:20These nobodies started the trouble.
09:22Disrespected you and Mr. Thorne.
09:25We're handling it by the book.
09:28Carter.
09:29I completely underestimated you.
09:31You go on a six-month work trip and come back a street thug.
09:34And the trash you hang out with.
09:37Coming to my city to start trouble?
09:39You think Quintec is a joke?
09:42Let me ask you something, Harper.
09:46Why is your VP telling everyone he's your husband?
09:49And why is he cornering strangers into paying his dinner tab?
09:52Harper stared at me for a moment.
09:54Then she turned to the cop, her tone demanding.
09:56Officer Davis, tell me exactly what happened.
09:59The big cop didn't miss a beat.
10:01Mrs. Quinn, it's sickening.
10:04This guy recognized Mr. Thorne, barged right over,
10:08demanding to pay his check, trying to kiss ass and network.
10:13Mr. Thorne politely declined.
10:16But this punk wouldn't take no for an answer.
10:19Kept bragging about how rich he is.
10:21Said rejecting his money was a total insult.
10:25Yeah, we got witnesses.
10:27When Mr. Thorne stood his ground, this guy completely lost it.
10:31Said Mr. Thorne was trash.
10:33Said he wasn't worthy of Quintec.
10:35Then he just snapped and attacked him.
10:38Are you shitting me?
10:40There he cornered us.
10:42Shut your mouth!
10:43You don't get to speak!
10:44You egged him on!
10:46You egged him on!
10:47If you hadn't been running your mouth, none of this would have happened!
10:53Harper, I know he just wanted to rub elbows with the higher-ups.
10:57But he crossed a line.
10:59When I wouldn't let him pay the bill, he went crazy.
11:02Threatened to tear down Quintec.
11:07Carter, I didn't know you could be this pathetic.
11:10You wanted a handout from my team?
11:12You wanted to desperately climb the ladder, and when they shut you down, you threw a violent tantrum like a
11:18toddler?
11:20Did you lose your damn mind on that trip?
11:23Someone won't let you buy them dinner, so you assault them?
11:26Have you no shame?
11:27I-I didn't-
11:28Save it!
11:29The police just told me everything.
11:32You are unbelievable.
11:34You're so used to living off my dime.
11:37You suck up to everyone you see.
11:39They reject you, and you snap.
11:41Why the hell did I ever marry you?
11:44Harper, don't let him upset you.
11:47He probably just lost his head for a second-
11:49Lost his head?
11:50Please.
11:51This is his true nature.
11:54Officers, process them.
11:55I want every cent of damages paid in full.
11:59Let's see how he pays for this.
12:03My throat tightened.
12:05Fine.
12:07Damages.
12:08Name your price.
12:09Harper left.
12:10A cruel, mocking laugh.
12:12She looked me up and down.
12:14Five million dollars.
12:16Can you cover that?
12:18You probably couldn't even scrape together ten grand if you begged.
12:21Julian didn't say a word.
12:22He just pulled out his phone.
12:25Five mil?
12:26Wait for it.
12:28Text my dad, too.
12:29My phone's smashed.
12:31Look at this clown flexing.
12:33Five million?
12:35From you two broke losers?
12:37You're under arrest.
12:38Stop wasting my time!
12:39Put your hands behind your back.
12:41We'll see who's laughing when you're locked up.
12:45We're doing this the hard way!
12:48What's the rush?
12:49The money's on the way.
12:51On the way?
12:52From who?
12:54Your dad?
12:55What's he gonna do?
12:57Pawn his construction tool belt to bail you out?
13:02Enough!
13:04I'm taking you down right now!
13:06Just as he raised the cups, a deafening roar erupted from outside.
13:10The windows rattled.
13:11The ground beneath our feet began to tremble.
13:14Julian and I looked out the restaurant doors.
13:18Here they are.
13:23Everyone rushed to the windows.
13:25In the distance, a helicopter bearing the Sterling family crest was flying toward them.
13:30A convoy of 15 blacked-out SUVs rolled up.
13:33Leading the pack was an extended wheelbase Rolls-Royce Phantom.
13:36The vibration under our feet grew stronger.
13:39Chase's smug smile completely dissolved.
13:43The chopper hovered over the restaurant's parking lot.
13:46The SUV doors swung open in unison.
13:48Dozens of elite private security operatives stepped out.
13:52Tailored black suits.
13:53White gloves.
13:54Two older men in impeccable three-piece suits led the charge.
13:57They marched into the restaurant, their eyes scanning the wreckage,
14:01When they saw Julian and me bleeding on the floor,
14:04the temperature in the room plummeted.
14:06The Sterling family's steward, Arthur, rushed straight to Julian.
14:10Seeing the bruises on him, he immediately asked,
14:13Julian, are you alright?
14:15My family's steward, Thomas.
14:17His voice was tight with anger.
14:19Carter, I am so sorry you had to endure this.
14:26Chase and the two cops were paralyzed.
14:28All their arrogant barking from just a second ago.
14:31Gone.
14:31Julian calmly dusted off his ruined jacket.
14:34Arthur, did you bring the cash?
14:37Ms. Quinn here demanded five million.
14:41Let her count it.
14:42Two operatives stepped forward and placed heavy.
14:45Reinforced briefcases on the nearest intact table.
14:48The cases snapped open.
14:49Stacks of crisp, hundred-dollar bills.
14:52Row after row of cold.
14:54Hard cash.
14:55It was blinding.
14:56Chase's knees literally gave out.
14:58He collapsed against a chair.
14:59The big cop and the skinny cop looked like they had seen a ghost.
15:03Their faces went ash-white.
15:05Lips trembling.
15:06They couldn't form a single word.
15:07Thomas raised a hand.
15:09Another team of my operatives marched in with identical briefcases.
15:12Mrs. Quinn, the five million you requested, one from the Vance family, one from the Stirlings.
15:20However, the watch smashed on Carter's wrist is a bespoke Pata Philippe, valued at roughly
15:27seven million dollars.
15:29Julian's ruined jacket is a custom Savvy road piece.
15:32Replacement cost, eight million.
15:34Adding medical expenses and emotional distress for both gentlemen, the total comes to an even
15:40twenty million.
15:44I assume we'll be wiring that directly from Quintex's accounts.
15:48Behind her, the Quintex staff was completely shook.
15:51The guys laughing earlier, huddled up.
15:54Julian took a silk handkerchief from Arthur, and slowly wiped the blood from his mouth.
15:59And as for you two officers, abuse of power.
16:02Police brutality, aiding a fraudulent shakedown!
16:06I'm gonna make sure your entire department burns for this.
16:10Oh, by the way, extortion, aggravated assault.
16:16With successive sentencing, that's easily a decade behind bars.
16:20Enjoy the food and counting.
16:22Harper's eyes were glued to me.
16:23She looked at me like I was a total stranger.
16:26Carter.
16:28What, what is all this?
16:29Since when, since when do you have this kind of money?
16:32I looked at her shattered expression.
16:34And suddenly, my mind flashed back to that winter back in college.
16:40I still remember her outside the campus library.
16:43Freezing in a beat up winter coat.
16:45Huddled over her notes.
16:47Nursing a stale bagel for lunch.
16:49I walked up and handed her a hot drink.
16:51She flushed, pushed it away, and insisted she wasn't cold.
16:54Later, I found out she was working three jobs.
16:57Scraping together tuition and paying for her mom's medical bills.
17:01One time, her professor completely shredded her startup proposal.
17:05She sat by the track field and cried for hours.
17:08I sat down next to her and asked,
17:10What if I just ask my family to fund the whole thing for you?
17:13She snapped her head up.
17:14Her eyes were completely red, but she glared at me.
17:17Carter, what kind of girl do you think I am?
17:20I would rather starve than take a handout.
17:23Especially trust fund money.
17:25I'm building this myself.
17:27I don't need your pity.
17:29We had a huge fight that day.
17:30Said she hated guys born with a silver spoon.
17:33Said I would never understand her pride.
17:35After that, I never brought up my family again.
17:38When her startup's funding chain broke down,
17:41I anonymously wired $30 million to keep it afloat.
17:44When her competitors tried to crush her,
17:46I had my father's connections quietly bail her out.
17:49She always bragged about her good luck.
17:52She never knew I was the one behind every bit of that luck.
17:55But then Harper got rich, and she completely lost herself.
17:58She grew cold.
18:00Shut me out of the business completely.
18:02Acted like I was only after her money.
18:04I kept telling myself.
18:05She'd come to her senses once the company took off.
18:08But she was in such a rush,
18:10she went out and basically bought herself a side piece.
18:13You never asked.
18:14I pulled myself out of the memory.
18:16My voice was dead calm.
18:17You preached about hating handouts.
18:19You wanted to do it all by yourself.
18:22So I let you play pretend.
18:24So, wait, Quintech?
18:26My entire company?
18:29Is all because of you?
18:33Does it even matter now?
18:36You used to say you despised cheaters.
18:38Now you've got a side piece on the company payroll.
18:41You cried about big guys crushing the little guys.
18:44Now you let your VP shake down innocent people for dinner money.
18:47You despised corruption.
18:49Yet you stood right there and watched dirty cops frame me.
18:52I paused, looking at a face I didn't even recognize anymore.
18:57Harper, our problem was never the money.
19:00It's that you turned into everything you used to hate.
19:02I turned to Thomas.
19:05Call Vance Global.
19:07Pull every single cent of our funding out of Quintech immediately.
19:11And tell the legal team to draft the breach of contract notice.
19:14Thomas nodded.
19:15He pulled out his phone and started dialing.
19:18Harper lunged forward to stop him.
19:19No!
19:20But the security operatives instantly blocked her.
19:22She stared at me in pure panic.
19:24Carter, you can't do this.
19:27Quintech is my life's work.
19:31If you pull the funding, the company will go under.
19:35Your life's work?
19:38How much of that work was actually yours?
19:41Her face went completely pale.
19:43Her lips trembled, but no words came out.
19:45And one more thing.
19:47I looked at the lawyer standing behind Thomas.
19:49Draft the divorce papers right now.
19:52We'll follow the prenup.
19:54I walk away with nothing.
19:55I remembered something and added.
19:57Oh, actually, no.
19:59One more thing.
20:00Trace back every share tied to those anonymous shell companies.
20:03That equity belongs to the Vance family.
20:06Understood, Mr. Vance.
20:08Harper slumped to the floor.
20:10The arrogance was completely gone.
20:12She looked up at me, eyes filled with desperate, ugly regret.
20:15No, please.
20:16I was wrong.
20:18I was so wrong.
20:19Just one chance, please.
20:22Chase is gone.
20:23I'll fire him right now.
20:25And the baby.
20:26I won't keep it.
20:27I'll handle it.
20:28I swear.
20:29I'll...
20:29Save it.
20:30Your baby.
20:31Your company.
20:33Your life.
20:34I don't care anymore.
20:35Julian had been completely silent this whole time.
20:38Suddenly, he kicked the solid wood table next to him.
20:41The leg snapped in half.
20:43He rubbed the taser burn on his arm.
20:45Now that your little family drama is over,
20:48it's time to talk about my business.
20:52Julian turned to his security team.
20:54Lock this dump down.
20:56Not a single fly gets out.
20:58Everyone here who threw a punch or cheered them on.
21:00Nobody walks.
21:01The guy who kicked my gut.
21:02The rat who tased me.
21:04The loudmouth who mocked my father.
21:06Drag him out.
21:07I swear to God.
21:09If any of you walk out of here on your own two feet,
21:12I'm dropping my family name.
21:14And these pieces of shit.
21:16You were all so tough earlier.
21:19Break their legs.
21:20Dump them in the Hudson.
21:21Chase was scared shitless.
21:27Harper opened her mouth to plead.
21:29But Julian shot her a dead-eyed look.
21:31You want to turn?
21:32She froze instantly.
21:34Deathly pale.
21:35She didn't know East Coast money.
21:37But she knew.
21:37Anyone who could call in a chopper wasn't someone to cross.
21:41Julian's operatives moved fast.
21:43Within minutes.
21:44The suited goons.
21:45The loudmouth employees.
21:47And the two dirty cops were pinned hard to the floor.
21:50An operative snatched the taser.
21:51And jammed it into the skinny cop's back.
21:54He shrieked.
21:54Pulling into a tight ball.
21:56Screaming for mercy.
21:57And you.
22:00Julian walked over to the big cop.
22:02And pinned the man's face to the floor with his shoe.
22:05You said we'd get beat every day in lockup?
22:08Now taste it.
22:10He tipped his chin at his men.
22:11Beat him to a pump.
22:13Just keep him breathing.
22:14Screams.
22:15And the crashes at tables mixed together.
22:17Harper crouched on the floor covering her face.
22:20Crying.
22:21But nobody even looked at her.
22:23I saw Julian's bloodshot eyes.
22:25He was genuinely pissed.
22:26A New York billionaire air getting humiliated by a startup VP.
22:30Enough.
22:32Nobody swallows that.
22:33I patted his shoulder.
22:35They aren't worth dirtying your hands over.
22:37Julian glanced down at the groaning bodies.
22:40Today's your lucky day.
22:42Hand them over to the authorities.
22:44Lock them up.
22:46Squeeze them for every cent.
22:48If they're short a dime.
22:49Make their families crawl to New York and beg me.
22:52He grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the door.
22:54We're out.
22:55This dump is cursed.
22:59I heard about the fallout later.
23:01Chase got the worst of it.
23:02With the Sterlings and my family pressing down.
23:05His so-called VP title made him completely radioactive.
23:08To save themselves, Quintec fired him immediately.
23:12And sued him for embezzlement and corporate sabotage.
23:15Those employees who used to kiss his ass.
23:17They threw him under the bus.
23:19Handing over every piece of evidence to save their own skin.
23:23Stacked charges.
23:24He got 12 years in federal prison.
23:26The two dirty cops didn't fare any better.
23:29The evidence of corruption went straight to internal affairs.
23:32They were suspended without pay on day one.
23:34Their precinct captain threw them to the wolves to save his own pension.
23:37Stripped of their badges.
23:39Convicted of aggravated assault.
23:41Quintec collapsed faster than anyone expected.
23:44Once Vance Global pulled our funding.
23:46Every other investor bailed.
23:48The cash flow evaporated overnight.
23:50Rivals poached Harper's core team and stole her contracts.
23:53She tried to call in favors.
23:55But she was completely radioactive.
23:57Nobody on the west coast was stupid enough to cross New York money.
24:02Three months later.
24:04Harper went from Silicon Valley royalty to millions in debt.
24:07Word is.
24:08Someone spotted her under a freeway overpass on the west coast.
24:12Looking completely haggard.
24:14As for the goons and the loudmouth employees.
24:16Julian didn't actually dump them in the Hudson.
24:19But he ruined them.
24:20The guards got their arms broken and were run out of the state.
24:23The employees were blacklisted from the tech industry entirely.
24:27They'll never forget the sight of that cash.
24:29Or the roar of that chopper for the rest of their miserable lives.
24:32Leaving that wrecked restaurant.
24:34Julian and I got straight on the chopper.
24:36He was rubbing his taser burn.
24:38Cursing about how ridiculous the west coast rules were.
24:42I didn't say a word.
24:43I just watched the city shrink below us.
24:46Any lingering feeling I had for Harper completely vanished into the clouds.
24:49Back in New York, the Sterlings used a major summit.
24:53To rattle the cages of the tech circles that backed Harper.
24:56Julian is fiercely protective.
24:58If you mess with him, he burns your whole ecosystem down.
25:02For my family, pulling out of Quintech was just a flick of the wrist.
25:06My dad called me home when he heard I got hurt.
25:08He looked at the bruise on my neck and called me soft.
25:11But the next day, he had his legal team drop.
25:14The divorce and equity clawback papers right on Harper's lap.
25:20She broke down crying in bankruptcy court when she got served.
25:23But tears don't pay bills.
25:25The Vance family took back every single cent.
25:28Six months later, I ran into Julian at a global merger signing.
25:32Tailored suit.
25:33Charming some European billionaires.
25:35The scar on his arm was completely gone.
25:37He saw me walk in.
25:39Smirked.
25:40And bumped my shoulder.
25:41Heard Harper is running a small convenience store in the suburbs now.
25:44Heavily pregnant.
25:46Tragic.
25:49Not our problem.
25:50He raised an eyebrow, but didn't push it.
25:53After the event, we walked out of the venue together.
25:56His Maybach and my Bentley were waiting at the curb.
25:59The night breeze hit us.
26:01Real talk.
26:02Getting lit up by those local cops?
26:05Most embarrassing shit of my life.
26:07Same here.
26:08I thought about getting pinned to that floor.
26:10And I laughed too.
26:11Lesson learned.
26:13Not everyone deserves our humility.
26:15He slapped my back.
26:17Come on.
26:17Drinks at my place.
26:18My old man just flew in a few cases of 82 Lafrat.
26:22A late celebration for your freedom.
26:24Pulling away from the hotel, I caught the city lights glowing in the rear view.
26:29I used to think marriage was about walking side by side.
26:32Now I know some people are just a temporary chapter.
26:35Julian and I were moving on to bigger things and better views.
26:39After all, the person who can bring us to our knees, hasn't even taken their first breath.
