00:00:04Breaking news. Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack. In the past hour alone, the conglomerate has lost over
00:00:11a billion dollars in Arcee's situation.
00:00:13Help me up here, I'm drowning. I just filed it.
00:00:16Help me up here, I'm drowning. I just filed it.
00:00:23No, you have to buy it.
00:00:24I need you to buy the stock, alright?
00:00:25You gotta do this now.
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.
00:00:48Julia, we need you again. Shit.
00:00:55Give me a sec.
00:01:01Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:04Good, 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.
00:01:23The stock price is recovering. How is that possible?
00:01:27Did Mr. Clark just fix this with a few calls?
00:01:31Julian, what would Harper do without you?
00:01:34Julian, Damien's assistant calls. Calls in all hands. All department leads. Conference room in ten minutes. Chairman's orders.
00:01:41Why would Damien call in the meeting? He despises you. Watch your back.
00:02:13I'll see you next week.
00:02:15I'll see you next week.
00:02:17We actually neutralized the short attack against Harper and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:21Let'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 have stole this
00:02:33one from someone else.
00:02:34Remember what he did to Anthony from investments? Damien took credit for his deal. Anthony pushed back. And Damien used
00:02:41his pool with Serena to get him fired.
00:02:48Hello? Is there a problem? Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the fire. The least that
00:02:54every single one of you can do.
00:02:55Damien.
00:02:58Of course. Questions? I'd be happy to share my strategies.
00:03:04That helped 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 god damn gaming lounge!
00:03:25Wait, I'm sorry everyone. I forgot.
00:03:29You're just the resident good for nothing. My strategy is you probably couldn't comprehend them, let alone
00:03:33ask a decent god damn 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 specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:50Doesn't matter. What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:53You can't even name your enemy?
00:03:55Alright, fine. Next question.
00:03:58Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights? And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for
00:04:02the capital injection?
00:04:03Well...
00:04:05Well...
00:04:09Well, you can't even name the basics. Alright.
00:04:12So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room, the countermeasures for a potential
00:04:17proxies fight,
00:04:17or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers?
00:04:23Let's be real.
00:04:25You are nothing but a glory hound, who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees the real.
00:04:40You, a useless, game-addicted fucking loser, dare to question me?
00:04:45You know what, Clark? You're fucking fired!
00:04:48Now 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.
00:05:08Now, hearing's not enough. I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company, now.
00:05:16You took our family's market cap and raised it to three trillion dollars.
00:05:21You proved everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:24Now, uh, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:27Harper's, uh, old friends, good staff, you know?
00:05:31Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper.
00:05:34What you're talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:36Your feelings can grow, brat. Our families go way back.
00:05:40Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:43My life, my choice.
00:05:45Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that-
00:05:47Enough!
00:05:48Oh, that's it.
00:05:49You're going to do this.
00:05:51I've already arranged everything.
00:05:52You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:56Go work with Serena.
00:05:57And date her properly, hmm?
00:06:02You'll refuse.
00:06:04Okay.
00:06:05Nurse, doctor, I'm checking out.
00:06:07My own grandson won't listen.
00:06:09What's the point?
00:06:09Okay.
00:06:10Let the heart attack take me now.
00:06:12Okay, all right.
00:06:12I'll go.
00:06:15I know what I'm asking.
00:06:17For years, you've carried this family on your back.
00:06:21We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:23The Harper's never in trouble.
00:06:25We do not abandon our own.
00:06:29Use that brilliant head of yours.
00:06:31Enough, please, for me.
00:06:35Fine.
00:06:37I'll do it.
00:06:39I hear 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.
00:06:56I made Serena Harper the queen of this city's business world.
00:07:00And for what?
00:07:01So she could give my triumphs and victories to that sycophant Damien?
00:07:05It's time to come home.
00:07:12You asked for my opinion, and you couldn't handle it.
00:07:16So...
00:07:16Pathetic.
00:07:17I said you're fired.
00:07:18Get your shit and get the fuck out of my throat.
00:07:21I heard you.
00:07:22I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay, and then I'm gone.
00:07:25I said now!
00:07:26Or I'm gonna call security and I'm gonna drag your ass out.
00:07:29Suit yourself.
00:07:31Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:36Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:39You will leave.
00:07:40Now, 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.
00:07:47And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:49You know what, Serena?
00:07:51Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:58You don't push your luck, Clark.
00:08:00The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the first place
00:08:03is because of your dusty fucking engagement to Serena.
00:08:06And you have the audacity to act all high and mighty?
00:08:09You're fucking nothing.
00:08:11You're a little trust fund, entitled piece of shit baby.
00:08:14I mean, even your own Beyonce is telling you to get lost.
00:08:17So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost before I fucking...
00:08:20What?
00:08:28You broke it.
00:08:29You broke my teeth.
00:08:30You know how much this costs?
00:08:32You fucking asshole!
00:08:33A hundred thousand dollars!
00:08:37You lost your balance.
00:08:39Maybe work on your course stream.
00:08:40Julian, that is enough.
00:08:42Disrupting proceedings?
00:08:43Assault?
00:08:44Destruction of property?
00:08:46As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:49Effective immediately.
00:08:51Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:53Serena, you broke my watch.
00:08:54The gift you got me for my birthday.
00:08:56He has to pay for it.
00:08:57Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:08:59Either pay up or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:05Fine.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:09Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:10What one hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:12It's a million.
00:09:13A million for that.
00:09:14It's a gift from Serena.
00:09:16It's priceless.
00:09:17A million dollars being generous.
00:09:18You could fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:20A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:23He does have a point card.
00:09:24You break it, you buy it.
00:09:27That's the rule.
00:09:28Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:35Well, you gonna wire me the money?
00:09:38Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:40And if so, you can crawl out of here and I'll knock a few grand off the total.
00:09:44Anyway, so what if you're Serena's fiancé?
00:09:49Look at her now.
00:09:50She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:54A million dollars.
00:09:56That's the final offer?
00:09:57What do you mean?
00:10:02Hi, I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:22You just called for a million dollars in cash?
00:10:26Like a stakeout?
00:10:27What's next?
00:10:28A private army?
00:10:29All right, Julian.
00:10:30The charade ends now.
00:10:31Leave the company and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:34But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:37We are done.
00:10:39You sure?
00:10:40Whoa, whoa.
00:10:41You heard that, Julian?
00:10:42Your engagement's over.
00:10:43Now get out before I-
00:10:44Bro, get your hands off me!
00:10:49Put your fucking hands on me.
00:10:51You know what?
00:10:52I'm gonna wipe that smug fucking look off your face!
00:10:58Enough!
00:11:03Mr. Brooks!
00:11:07That's David Brooks, president of Harvey View Bank.
00:11:10What's a Wall Street titan doing on a conference room?
00:11:12Do you think he has to do with the hundred million loan?
00:11:14It can't be.
00:11:15That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:19Mr. Clark, the one million, as requested.
00:11:43What?!
00:11:43What?!
00:11:46Mr. Brooks.
00:11:47Personally delivering cash?
00:11:49To Julian?
00:11:50Wait, the money is...
00:11:52It's real?
00:11:53Wait.
00:11:54Delivered by Mr. Brooks?
00:11:55I mean...
00:11:56Wait, who are you?
00:11:58Who are you?
00:12:00Much appreciated.
00:12:01You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:09Mr. Brooks!
00:12:10Sir, we are so honored by your visit.
00:12:14My grandfather, he speaks of you often.
00:12:16I'm sure he'd love to get a round of golf scheduled with you sometime.
00:12:20Mr. Clark, is there anything else you require?
00:12:24My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:26No, thank you.
00:12:27You can go now.
00:12:28Of course.
00:12:36A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting?
00:12:41Unprofessional.
00:12:42I'm suspending the hundred million dollar deal.
00:12:44We'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision.
00:12:47Yes, sir.
00:12:49Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:53Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:54Let's see him explain this to the chairman.
00:12:57The chairman will have his head.
00:12:59This is all your fault, all right?
00:13:01You gotta fix this.
00:13:02You call him back here and get that loan reinstated or I swear I'm gonna...
00:13:05You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:08As for us...
00:13:12One million.
00:13:13In full.
00:13:13Which makes this watch...
00:13:19It's mine.
00:13:21You arrogant.
00:13:22Son of a bitch!
00:13:27I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it?
00:13:29I bet you ought to sell your house to scrape this together, you fucking loser.
00:13:36But it's all mine now.
00:13:38Yeah, sure.
00:13:38The debt for the watch is settled.
00:13:40But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:42That useless piece of junk?
00:13:43How much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:45I don't know.
00:13:46Maybe about...
00:13:48A hundred million?
00:13:50A hundred million dollars!
00:13:54For a laptop?
00:13:55Have you lost your mind?
00:13:58A hundred million.
00:14:00For a laptop.
00:14:02Julian.
00:14:03The law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:05What you're committing is extortion.
00:14:08That's illegal!
00:14:09So, him extorting me for a million was legal then, right?
00:14:12By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago?
00:14:15Huh?
00:14:16That's conservative.
00:14:17Enough!
00:14:18Julian.
00:14:20You know, I know you think you're right,
00:14:22but a stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars.
00:14:26A hundred million dollars?
00:14:27I...
00:14:29Dream on.
00:14:30Sure, a standard stellar isn't worth that much.
00:14:32But this isn't a standard, is it?
00:14:34What is it made of gold?
00:14:35Even then, it still wouldn't cost a hundred million fucking dollars.
00:14:38You know what?
00:14:40You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:48Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:51That's Bill Sullivan.
00:14:52SVP for stellar.
00:14:53Here?
00:14:54You think it's about the $300 million partnership deal?
00:14:56300 million?
00:14:58That's huge for us, but pocket change for Stella.
00:15:00Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:03Mr. Sullivan.
00:15:05What an unexpected honor.
00:15:07I'm Serena Harper.
00:15:08CEO.
00:15:09What do we owe the...
00:15:10Mr. Clark.
00:15:10A security hub detected an urgent impact alert from your device.
00:15:15And the signal originated here.
00:15:16People concerned for your safety and cater immediately.
00:15:19Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian, too?
00:15:21Because his laptop impact triggered an alarm.
00:15:24Unbelievable.
00:15:25Mr. Clark, are you alright?
00:15:27Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:28It just took a fall.
00:15:30No.
00:15:31This damage is significant.
00:15:34With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate, this could be $30 million.
00:15:41$30 million?
00:15:43No, no, no, no.
00:15:44To fix a fucking laptop?
00:15:46That's impossible!
00:15:47There's no way!
00:15:48Are you questioning me?
00:15:49No, I just...
00:15:50Well, open your eyes.
00:15:51This is a one-off laptop, which still has quantum processors and proprietary components.
00:15:56You better pray that those data partitions are intact, or that compensation will ruin you.
00:16:00I just had the critical, critical data corruption here.
00:16:04It's highly confidential files, high market value.
00:16:08I mean, with our declarations, this is at least $70 million.
00:16:14$70 million?
00:16:14What?
00:16:15Mr. Clark, has the data on this laptop registered with monetary values to the security division.
00:16:21All damages to our fullest extent.
00:16:24Here.
00:16:25Receipts for the hardware and the notarized value declarations for the data.
00:16:29See for yourself.
00:16:39Who cares about $100 million laptop?
00:16:46Who exactly are you?
00:16:47You don't get to know.
00:16:49In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:52There's no way that there's a fucking laptop that costs $100 million!
00:16:56You know what?
00:16:56This is a fucking scam.
00:16:57These two, they're working together.
00:16:59I'm telling you, it's a con.
00:17:00Are you serious?
00:17:01I'm Blake Sullivan.
00:17:03I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:04I don't fly across the city of Skim and nobody like you.
00:17:07Listen, I'm selling.
00:17:09Ms. Harper, this is the employee you hire?
00:17:12He's a fool.
00:17:13And it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:16Oh, by the way, our partnership deal?
00:17:19Consider it terminated.
00:17:21What?
00:17:22Um, Mr. Sullivan, please.
00:17:24Damien is just...
00:17:25He's stressy.
00:17:26He didn't mean...
00:17:27Save it.
00:17:28You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:32And you, if you dispute evaluations, we can settle it in court.
00:17:35My legal team has 965 lawyers.
00:17:38I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:43Stellar's legal team is legendary.
00:17:45He never lost.
00:17:47Damien can't fight this.
00:17:48Hell, the entire Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this.
00:17:53He's done for.
00:17:55Please.
00:18:02Please.
00:18:05Mr. Sullivan, Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation.
00:18:10Will that suffice?
00:18:11I'm just here to certify facts.
00:18:13You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:18Full payment.
00:18:19In my account, within three days.
00:18:23In that case, we're done here.
00:18:25Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else?
00:18:28I'll do.
00:18:29Mr. Sullivan, are our partners...
00:18:31Ms. Harper, get your house in order first.
00:18:34Stellar has standards.
00:18:35We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:38That'll be all.
00:18:39Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:40That's funny.
00:18:42Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:43A 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.
00:18:56We don't need someone like you worrying about it.
00:18:59He's right.
00:19:01Julianna, I give you my word.
00:19:03The full amount will be paid within three days.
00:19:04But under one condition.
00:19:06Our engagement ends for good.
00:19:09And you will leave Harper Enterprise.
00:19:12Now.
00:19:13You hear that, Julian?
00:19:15You know, I'll admit it.
00:19:16Yeah, you got the money.
00:19:16But it's not about what you made.
00:19:18It's your family's fucking money.
00:19:19And now you're just a spoiled little trust fund baby who's been fired.
00:19:22So get the fuck out!
00:19:24Get the fuck out?
00:19:26One of us just torpedoed a hundred million dollar loan and a three hundred million dollar deal.
00:19:31Remind me, which one of us should actually get the fuck out?
00:19:35Serena, I think it is actually time to call your grandfather.
00:19:37He could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:42Stop!
00:19:43Stop!
00:19:48This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper!
00:19:52Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:19:55Funny.
00:19:56Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill.
00:19:58Remind me, which one of us is the real boy toy?
00:20:03You.
00:20:13Get the fuck out!
00:20:15Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have.
00:20:18This is Harper Enterprise.
00:20:20I'm the one in charge here.
00:20:23Security, remove him.
00:20:28Julian, please, don't make us get physical.
00:20:30I'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?
00:20:38Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:40Who do you think you are?
00:20:41You think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:44Julian, I've already given you more courtesy than you deserve.
00:20:46The more you cling on like this, the more disgusting you become to me.
00:20:52Do it.
00:20:55It looks like I won't need that phone call.
00:20:57Still running your mouth, huh?
00:20:58Move.
00:20:59Get in the fuck out of here.
00:21:05What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:09Stand down!
00:21:10All of you!
00:21:11You!
00:21:11You!
00:21:12Out of here!
00:21:12Now!
00:21:13Dad!
00:21:14Grandpa!
00:21:15What are you doing here?
00:21:21Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's gone on today.
00:21:26I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:29I...
00:21:30Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:34Chairman Harper apologizing to Julian?
00:21:38Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:42Chairman Harper, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games.
00:21:45How could you possibly-
00:21:47Shut up!
00:21:54Sorry.
00:21:56How dare you disrespect Julian!
00:21:58Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has!
00:22:00You can't just hit people!
00:22:01I wish we hit him more.
00:22:03Serena, do you even have any idea who Julian Clark is?
00:22:08We didn't tell you everything because of your ego.
00:22:11And I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:22:12We were going to announce everything once the engagement was formally set.
00:22:16But who knew?
00:22:18Serena, you've been blind.
00:22:20Julian is-
00:22:21Thomas, you can't force something that isn't there.
00:22:23No real feelings, no need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:27Julian, please, understand.
00:22:29All of this is on us.
00:22:31Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harperfin.
00:22:35Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:41Apologize to Julian, now!
00:22:43No!
00:22:44I don't care who you are, Julian.
00:22:47To me, you're still just a spoiled brat who thinks of himself as some sort of genius.
00:22:52But in reality, all you know is playing video games.
00:22:57I see right through you, and I will not apologize to you!
00:23:02Serena, enough!
00:23:03Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:05Let me apologize.
00:23:06If Serena can't manage an apology herself, then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:15Issue my order.
00:23:17Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:20Cease every protective measure, effective immediately!
00:23:22Julian, please, don't!
00:23:24Without you, this place doesn't survive!
00:23:27Look!
00:23:29Oh!
00:23:32What?!
00:23:35What?!
00:23:35Oh, I guess you could've just pulled the orders!
00:23:37What do you mean?
00:23:38Hostile takeover!
00:23:40All of our investors pulled out!
00:23:41How 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!
00:23:54We can't operate like this!
00:23:56A stunning reversal.
00:23:57Harper Enterprise's many allies withdraw their investments in an instant,
00:24:01leaving the group facing massive losses.
00:24:04Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:08Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:09Why did Harper Enterprise suddenly lose power?
00:24:13What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:17How is that possible?
00:24:19Are you attacking the company?
00:24:21No matter who is behind this, I, Serena, will never bow down to you!
00:24:27Harper Enterprise will not yield to any market attacks!
00:24:30Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks!
00:24:33It's Harper!
00:24:33This isn't a race!
00:24:34Our major partners are terminating their contracts!
00:24:37And our own liquidity can't cover the gas!
00:24:40This continues!
00:24:41The stock will crash straight through the floor!
00:24:44What did you say?
00:24:46Damn it!
00:24:47How could that trash have such kind of power?
00:24:50Why him?!
00:24:51I won't accept this!
00:24:52I won't!
00:24:53Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?!
00:24:58Apologize to Julian!
00:25:01No!
00:25:04Serena!
00:25:05Serena!
00:25:06Apologize!
00:25:08Serena!
00:25:18Serena!
00:25:19Serena, Serena, do not apologize!
00:25:21Harper Enterprise is worth hundreds of billions of dollars!
00:25:23You really think we can't survive without him?
00:25:26Let's just get through this crisis and I swear I will make him pay for everything that he has done
00:25:31to you!
00:25:32No!
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:35It's your fucking fault!
00:25:36You apologize to Julian right now!
00:25:39Get on your n-
00:25:40Dad!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:43Damien!
00:25:44Dad!
00:25:44Stop!
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!
00:26:11You hate bullies who throw their weight around, right?
00:26:14What about this guy?
00:26:15What about him?
00:26:16He hides behind your name to steal other people's work!
00:26:19He throws tea on me in this very room!
00:26:21He squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a $100,000 wash!
00:26:24Don't you think that's bullying?!
00:26:26Oh, I...
00:26:29But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:32Yeah, you're no saint.
00:26:34You're just biased.
00:26:36You know, I've been engaged to you for the past six months.
00:26:39I have asked you out 37 times!
00:26:42Yeah, because 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!
00:26:50The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant!
00:26:54Listen to him sing your praises, right?!
00:26:58Who's that?
00:26:59Oh, let me guess.
00:27:00Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:05Just... ignore him.
00:27:07Is he still your fiancé?
00:27:09Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:13I just... I can't stand him.
00:27:15A spoiled heir who thinks the world revolves around him?
00:27:20So what if I did?
00:27:22Who I choose to hang out with is my own choice.
00:27:25We're engaged, not married.
00:27:28I can see whoever I want!
00:27:30Serena, shut up!
00:27:31No, I am not done!
00:27:34Damien has worked himself to the bone!
00:27:37He is driven and disciplined, and 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 liked happened to have closed?
00:28:09Why every time that you wanted a loan, the 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?
00:28:20That was Julian!
00:28:23Julian is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together!
00:28:27Serena!
00:28:28No, that is impossible!
00:28:31I don't believe it!
00:28:41Hey!
00:28:42Eyes up Serena!
00:28:43In the past six months, I've called in 47 separate connections and cleared a path for you!
00:28:48Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange!
00:28:50And you know, I've made you Wall Street's business queen!
00:28:53That's Iron Gate, North Bridge, and even Silver Line!
00:28:56Those are all the top 50 global giants!
00:28:58They've all been begging us, behind the scenes?
00:29:00No wonder every project went so smoothly!
00:29:03Julian's the one with this kind of network!
00:29:05Damien's got some nerve stealing credit for something like this!
00:29:08That's a death wish!
00:29:12No, no, no! It's not true, huh?
00:29:15Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me and my hard work and my connections!
00:29:19You arrogant fool!
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:32Alright, that's enough!
00:29:34I finally got the all clear from my grandfather!
00:29:36I can go home!
00:29:38So, as of right now, our engagement is terminated!
00:29:41Julian, all of this has been our fault!
00:29:43But the engagement...
00:29:45Let him go!
00:29:46I don't need a fiancé who uses his family background to wreck people!
00:29:52Without my connections and my network, I can't do anything!
00:29:55Harper 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!
00:30:04Prepare yourselves!
00:30:06Julian! Julian!
00:30:07Julian!
00:30:11Serena!
00:30:13You silly, foolish, foolish girl!
00:30:16Grandpa, I have never been clearer!
00:30:19With or without him, I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top!
00:30:22Serena's right!
00:30:23Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper, I'm going to stand by Serena's side and I'm going to give her everything that I've
00:30:29got!
00:30:30Crap! 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 Julian!
00:30:54This meeting is over!
00:30:57Serena, wait up!
00:30:59You!
00:31:00God!
00:31:00Tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter!
00:31:07Serena! Serena!
00:31:09Don't even worry about that!
00:31:11I know our enterprise took a huge hit today, but as long as we lock down Amber Group's Crescent Lake
00:31:15project, change the game, and 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, and I'm going to put this one in your hands too!
00:31:35It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:36No, no, absolutely, you don't even count on me!
00:31:39Amber Group's deputy VP of projects, I mean, he trusts me clearly!
00:31:44He else has been his eyes!
00:31:52Get the Crescent Lake contract ready!
00:31:54Same as always!
00:31:55Once the Harper team arrives, we hand it straight to them!
00:31:59Ms. Lawson, we just got an update!
00:32:00Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise!
00:32:03The engagement is off!
00:32:04Serena 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, and then Serena personally pushed Julian out!
00:32:17Serena really thinks she got where she is because of Damien?
00:32:20That pretty 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? Not a chance!
00:32:33Open it to public video!
00:32:34Yes, ma'am!
00:32:43Now that is an amazing shot, Mr. Brooks!
00:32:45Damien!
00:32:46Crescent Lake's public bid is coming up soon!
00:32:50How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:05Damien?
00:33:06What 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.
00:33:16Untraceable.
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.
00:33:26Oh my, Damien!
00:33:27You're too kind!
00:33:29Sure, it's a public bidding on paper, but, uh, as long as I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about.
00:33:37Sit tight.
00:33:39Contract's yours.
00:33:41Ms. Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway.
00:33:46Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:33:50Thanks.
00:33:52Thanks.
00:33:55And I'm sorry.

00:51:05just please give harper enterprise another chance i i will meet the highest standards i will deliver a
00:51:13perfect result on every project perfect result and what exactly guarantees that your empty suit
00:51:21assistant miss lawson damien made a mistake but but his ability is exceptional for six months he
00:51:32managed every harper enterprise project flawlessly no errors no delays if you don't pull this contract
00:51:38i guarantee he will make sure you see his value
00:51:44managed flawlessly he's not the only empty suit here
00:51:49you're too miss 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 but humiliating
00:52:02someone like this isn't that a little cruel you really think i froze our cooperation because
00:52:08damien and bribe mason wasn't that the reason for six months harper enterprise got everything it
00:52:17wanted from ember group for one reason julian clark damien has nothing to do with that he was just
00:52:27a messenger boy who picked up the contracts what when julian was there bribe or no bribe harper
00:52:35enterprise got the deals anyway but now julian's gone so the special treatment is gone damien's little
00:52:43arriving incident it was just a convenient excuse to take everything back understand now
00:52:53and about those flawless projects harper enterprise didn't run smoothly because
00:52:58damien is brilliant it ran smoothly because julian called every partner every supplier every gatekeeper
00:53:06and cleared the path for you damien had nothing to do with that no that's not true i i don't
00:53:17believe
00:53:17you don't believe me then watch watch what happens when julian leaves let's see if your exceptional
00:53:26damien can keep everything perfect when julian is not there to hold the world together for him come on let's
00:53:34go
00:53:41julian is what she's saying true you were right about one thing serena julian and i are closer than you
00:53:49thought that's why it disgusts me watching him waste his life away on a selfish and blind woman like you

01:00:04Okay, I'm back.
01:00:10You don't have to be scared.
01:00:12Harper Enterprise's business queen is so much better than those cheap girls.
01:00:17Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine.
01:00:22Damien, you sick bastard.
01:00:25You sick bastard.
01:00:30I really mean it.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:33You fucking...

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.
01:00:44Dad, get off me, please.
01:00:47I'm begging you.
01:00:48Don't.
01:00:48Say yes.
01:00:50What are you doing?
01:00:54Don't.
01:00:55I'm so sorry.
01:00:56Help 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.
01:01:04Help.
01:01:04Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:05Keep fucking screaming.
01:01:07Right?
01:01:09You're not going to say no.
01:01:11I'm going to fuck you.
01:01:12Help.
01:01:14Help.
01:01:16Help.
01:01:17Julian, help.
01:01:21Get him out of here.
01:01:23Stop.
01:01:23Let me go.
01:01:25Julian, you know this wasn't the fucking place.
01:01:27This isn't over.
01:01:33Julian, wait.
01:01:34Hey, God, you came and you had that...
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.
01:01:45I want you to call the Harper family.
01:01:47Tell them to come to Carl.
01:01:48Yes, sir.
01:01:50Julian, I am sorry.
01:01:54I know I was wrong.
01:01:57Just...
01:01:58Please come back.
01:01:59Julian, our reservation is in ten minutes.
01:02:03Let's go.
01:02:11Serena, I told you over and over and...
01:02:18Over again.
01:02:19That Damien was not a good man.
01:02:22And you refused to listen.
01:02:26And Julian, if Julian doesn't come along, just 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 part of yours, one day, you will live to regret it.
01:02:41Dad, Grandpa, please.
01:02:43Stop.
01:02:43I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:47I'll apologize to Julian, and I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:55The problem with that is that you may feel that way, but Julian might not.
01:03:03I will apologize properly, and I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:10That's all we can do.
01:03:13So, John, put out a citywide bolo on that bastard Damien.
01:03:19He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:22We're not letting that go.
01:03:25No, we're not.
01:03:27Understood.
01:03:30Understood.
01:03:59Oh, my dear.
01:04:00Miss Lawson.
01:04:06What is this supposed to be?
01:04:08A gift for you.
01:04:10Myself?
01:04:12I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:15Amber group backs you up.
01:04:17No questions asked.
01:04:18But first, you have to accept the gift.
01:04:22Oh, really.
01:04:32Hey, can you not do 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 have, 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?
01:04:52You're not going to be hung up on Serena.
01:04:53She and I were never romantic.
01:04:56No, it's just a business marriage between two families.
01:05:00Things are moving too fast.
01:05:02You gotta think twice.
01:05:04But I don't have time.
01:05:06My family is preparing to send me off into a European alliance.
01:05:11Some old money.
01:05:13Perfect match they can show off at Gala's.
01:05:16Wait, what are you talking about?
01:05:18Are you serious?
01:05:18Yes, Julian.
01:05:20My uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune, and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of
01:05:25me permanently.
01:05:26But I don't want a stranger.
01:05:27I want you.
01:05:28I love you.
01:05:32Julian, let's make it official.
01:05:35Let's get married.
01:05:39You know, if you'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 takebacks.
01:06:03No takebacks.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:05Ever.
01:06:05I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:08But can you help me out?
01:06:12Um, my hands are getting wet.
01:06:15So impatient.
01:06:20It's like you said, if I accept the gift, then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:32Then be gentle.
01:06:41Julian, you didn't forget what you promised last night, right?
01:06:46Uh, no.
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, you kind of, you kind of remember that
01:06:56for the rest of your life, you know?
01:06:57Details.
01:06:58Those are just tiny details.
01:07:02You look 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 I'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.
01:07:51So 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.
01:08:05We are all together now, so better keep your distance.
01:08:09If you don't, I 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.
01:08:37So how did it go?
01:08:39Julian?
01:08:41He's with Nora.
01:08:46Nora.
01:08:47Nora Lawson.
01:08:49CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:50Of 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.
01:09:04And we blew it.
01:09:07God, forgive the Harpers, please.
01:09:12Ms. Hopper, finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:15Hopper Enterprise's 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.
01:09:25Now all of Wall Street knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:29That wasn't going to lend to us now.
01:09:31How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:33This is my fault, okay?
01:09:35I was blind.
01:09:36Are you proud now?
01:09:39I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:09:42And I didn't realize that Julian was running everything.
01:09:47And the moment he's gone, I can't do anything.
01:09:51Dad.
01:09:53Grandpa.
01:09:54I'm so sorry.
01:09:55I ruined Harpers Enterprise.
01:09:58I ruined everything.
01:10:00Dad.
01:10:01You'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.
01:10:12Julian 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.
01:10:22They honored our engagement.
01:10:25And that was a mercy.
01:10:26That 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.
01:10:46Serena, 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.
01:11:22Welcome!
01:11:24You must be here for Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:28Perfect timing.
01:11:29They'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.
01:11:51You 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,
01:12:08that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:14And 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.
01:12:30Woo!
01:12:37Sure, sure, sure.
01:12:39Sure, sure, sure.
01:12:39Yeah.
01:12:43Julian, are you okay?
01:12:46Hey.
01:12:52What is it?
01:12:54Oh, it's nothing.
01:12:55Come on, dinner's almost ready.
01:13:10Dad!
01:13:11The Harpers!
01:13:13My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:17For him,
01:13:20at six months at Harper Enterprise,
01:13:23it 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.
01:13:42Stop.
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,
01:13:49it's over.
01:13:51Just leave me the fuck alone.
01:13:54Okay?
01:13:54Just let me drink.
01:13:55I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:58I 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,
01:14:06and then I am taking you home.
01:14:17Mora.
01:14:20Okay, Mora.
01:14:22Be honest.
01:14:23You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:25You just got engaged,
01:14:27and 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.
01:14:36I've liked Julian for 20 years,
01:14:38and I finally got him to say yes.
01:14:41You 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,
01:14:55what 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?
01:15:05You don't get it.
01:15:07Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months,
01:15:10and it wasn't just because his grandfather would order it.
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.
01:15:31The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:15:33That exact type.
01:15:35I mean, with his personality,
01:15:38even if his grandfather forced him,
01:15:40he would have stayed there for three days max,
01:15:42and then vanished.
01:15:43He would not stay there
01:15:45and take six months of humiliation
01:15:47if he didn't want it.
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
01:16:05because 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?
01:16:29Ladies and gentlemen,
01:16:30let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:45Wow, they look perfect together.
01:16:48They're childhood sweethearts.
01:16:50The 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?
01:17:20Is 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?
01:17:40Julian,
01:17:41I 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.
01:17:53I was wrong.
01:17:54Totally wrong, okay?
01:17:56Just please,
01:17:58give 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.
01:18:15Just...
01:18:16Stop.
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?
01:18:43Why?
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.
01:19:01See, what 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.
01:19:15Please, listen.
01:19:17Enough.
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.
01:19:25If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed, if your value kept climbing, would you still be here standing in front of
01:19:30me today?
01:19:33I...
01:19:34No, no, no, you wouldn't.
01:19:35You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:37You'd be celebrating.
01:19:39You'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, Julian, that'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.
01:20:15No, 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.
01:20:29You 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?
01:20:52She 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 of that for you?
01:21:22What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:27I...
01:21:28I...
01:21:29I...
01:21:29I...
01:21:29I...
01:21:29Get her out.
01:21:30No, no.
01:21:31No, please don't, Julian.
01:21:33Don't, don't.
01:21:33I...
01:21:34I'm begging you.
01:21:35Just please let me explain.
01:21:37Please.
01:21:38Please.
01:21:38Let me...
01:21:39Please stop.
01:21:39Let me go.
01:21:40Julian, please don't do it.
01:21:43Crashing 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 and dry.
01:21:54Crashing.
01:22:24Mr. Clark!
01:22:43I'm sure you've all heard. Harper Enterprise, effective today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary,
01:22:49so we're all being terminated.
01:22:53What?! Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:22:56I've given this company 15 years. You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:23:0115 years, wow. Congratulations. You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead
01:23:07you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:10You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now. I've seen how you all work.
01:23:17Bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud.
01:23:24Everyone made us a smile.
01:23:26So we're going to be passing out some resignation terms, and once you sign them, hand over your
01:23:33badges, or you're going to rob him.
01:23:37This, this is it.
01:23:53Are you satisfied now?
01:23:56Satisfied.
01:23:58Thomas 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?
01:24:36Julian, let's go!
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?
01:24:46Take him to the police.
01:24:47Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:48I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:50Fucking coward.
01:24:50You're a fucking coward!
01:24:52Hiding behind your goddamn family's money.
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?
01:25:02Hey Julian, what was that?
01:25:05Just 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!
