00:00:03Breaking news. Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack. In the past hour alone, the conglomerate has lost over
00:00:10a billion dollars in Arkham's situation.
00:00:13Don't be up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:16Don't be up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:19Don't be up here, I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
00:00:23No, you have to.
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.
00:00:38We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:43The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:48Julian, we need you. Again.
00:00:51Shit. Shit.
00:00:55Give me a sec.
00:01:00Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:03Good, 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?
00:01:33Julian, Damien's assistant called. Called 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.
00:01:49...
00:01:49You said your back.
00:02:14...
00:02:14...
00:02:14Today, Damien successfully 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?
00:02:32He must have stole his wing from someone else.
00:02:34Remember what he did to Anthony from Investments?
00:02:37Damien took credit for his deal.
00:02:39Anthony pushed back and Damien used his pool with Serena to get him fired.
00:02:47Hello? Is there a problem?
00:02:51Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the fire.
00:02:54The least that every single one of you can do.
00:02:55Damien.
00:02:58Of course.
00:03:00Questions?
00:03:02I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:10Julian.
00:03:11Our company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:15Pirate may be.
00:03:16Keep sharing. I'm listening.
00:03:20This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:24Wait, I'm sorry, everyone.
00:03:27I forgot.
00:03:29You're just the resident good for nothing.
00:03:31My strategy 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?
00:03:46And what was their distinct objective?
00:03:48And what specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:50Doesn't matter.
00:03:51What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:53You can't even name the enemy?
00:03:55All right, fine.
00:03:56Next question.
00:03:57Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights?
00:04:00And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:03Well, well...
00:04:04Well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:11All right.
00:04:12So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room,
00:04:15the countermeasures for a potential proxy fight,
00:04:17or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:23Let's be real.
00:04:24You are nothing but a gloryhound who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees the deal.
00:04:40You, a useless, game-addicted fucking loser, dare to question me?
00:04:44You know what, Clark?
00:04:46You're fucking fired!
00:04:48Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:59You hear that, Dad?
00:05:01I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:05Understood.
00:05:07Now, the hearing's not enough.
00:05:08I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company now.
00:05:15You took our family's market cap and raised it to $3 trillion.
00:05:21You proved everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:23Now, 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.
00:05:36Feelings could grow, brat.
00:05:38Our 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.
00:06:21You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:06:23The Harper's, the Harper's, they're in trouble.
00:06:25We do not abandon our own.
00:06:28Use that brilliant head of yours and help them.
00:06:33Please, for me.
00:06:36Fine.
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 the city's business world.
00:06:59And 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.
00:07:15So, pathetic.
00:07:17I said you're fired.
00:07:18Get your shit and get the fuck out of my door.
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 going to call security, and you're going to drag your ass out.
00:07:29Suit yourself.
00:07:30Julian, 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?
00:07:50Don'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.
00:08:10You're a little trust fund, entitled piece of shit baby.
00:08:14I mean, even your Beyonce is telling you to get lost.
00:08:16So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost before I fucking pour what?
00:08:28You broke it.
00:08:29You broke my petite.
00:08:30You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole?
00:08:32$100,000!
00:08:36We lost your balance.
00:08:38Maybe work on your course rate.
00:08:40Julian, that is enough.
00:08:41Disrupting 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.
00:08:52Serena, you broke my watch.
00:08:54The gift you got me for my birthday, he has to pay for it.
00:08:57Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:08:59Either pay up or I swear you're going to rot in jail.
00:09:05Fine.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:08Is it $100,000?
00:09:10What $100,000?
00:09:11It's a million.
00:09:13A million for that.
00:09:14It's a gift from Serena.
00:09:15It's priceless.
00:09:16A million dollars being generous.
00:09:18You can 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.
00:09:26That's the rule.
00:09:28Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:35Well, you're going to 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 for you.
00:09:46So what if you're Serena's Beyoncé?
00:09:49Look at her now.
00:09:50She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:54A million dollars.
00:09:55That'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.
00:10:21You just called for a million dollars in cash, like a stakeout?
00:10:27What's next, a private army?
00:10:29All right, Julian, the charade ends now.
00:10:31Leave the company and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:33But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:37We are done.
00:10:39You sure?
00:10:40Whoa, whoa, you heard that, Julian?
00:10:42Your engagement's over.
00:10:43Now get out before I throw your hands off me.
00:10:49Put your fucking hands on me.
00:10:51You know what?
00:10:52I'm going to 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.
00:11:09What's a Wall Street titan doing on a conference room?
00:11:11Do you think it has to do with the hundred million long?
00:11:13I can't be.
00:11:14That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:19Mr. Clark.
00:11:20The one million.
00:11:22As requested.
00:11:42Mr. Brooks, personally delivering cash to Julian?
00:11:50Wait, the money is, it's real?
00:11:53Wait, uh, delivered by Mr. Brooks?
00:11:55I mean, wait, who 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.
00:12:22Is there anything else you require?
00:12:24My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:26No, thank you.
00:12:27You can go down.
00:12:28Of course.
00:12:36A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting?
00:12:40Unprofessional.
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.
00:12:48Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:53Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:55Let's see him explain this to the chairman.
00:12:56The 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,
00:13:04or I swear I'm gonna slip...
00:13:05You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:08As for us...
00:13:11One million.
00:13:12In full.
00:13:13Which makes this watch...
00:13:19It's mine.
00:13:21You arrogant.
00:13:22Son of a bitch!
00:13:26I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it?
00:13:28I bet you ought to sell your house to scrape this together,
00:13:31you 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?
00:13:45Oh.
00:13:46I don't know.
00:13:46Maybe about...
00:13:48A hundred million?
00:13:49A 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.
00:14:01Julian.
00:14:02The law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:05What you're committing is extortion.
00:14:07That's illegal.
00:14:08So, him extorting me for a million was legal, then, right?
00:14:12By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago?
00:14:14Huh?
00:14:16That's a kisser.
00:14:16Enough!
00:14:18Julian.
00:14:20You know, I know you think you're right.
00:14:22What?
00:14:22A stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars?
00:14:26A hundred million dollars?
00:14:27I...
00:14:29Tremont.
00:14:29Sure.
00:14:30A standard Stellar isn't worth that much.
00:14:32But this isn't a standard.
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?
00:14:39You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:48Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:50That's Bill Sullivan.
00:14:52SVP for Stellar.
00:14:53Here?
00:14:54You think it's about the three hundred million dollar partner you should do?
00:14:56Three hundred million?
00:14:57That's huge for us, but pocket change for Stellar.
00:15:00Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:03Mr. Sullivan.
00:15:04Uh, what an unexpected honor.
00:15:06I'm Serena Harper, uh, CEO to what do we owe the...
00:15:10Mr. Clark.
00:15:11Our security have detected an urgent impact alert from your device.
00:15:14And the signal originated here.
00:15:16We will concern 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 all right?
00:15:27Yeah, I'm fine.
00:15:28It just took a fall.
00:15:31God.
00:15:31This damage is significant.
00:15:33With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate, this could be 30 million.
00:15:4130 million dollars?
00:15:43No, no, no, no.
00:15:43To fix a fucking laptop?
00:15:45That's impossible.
00:15:47There's no way.
00:15:48Are you questioning me?
00:15:49No, I just...
00:15:50I'll open your eyes.
00:15:51This is a one-off laptop with Stellar's quantum processors and proprietary components.
00:15:55You better pray that those data partitions are intact or that compensation will ruin you.
00:16:00I've just had the critical, critical data corruption here.
00:16:04It's highly confidential files, high market value.
00:16:07I mean, with our declarations, this is at least 70 million dollars.
00:16:13Mr. Clark has the data on his 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 carries around a hundred million dollar 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 a hundred million dollars.
00:16:55You 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.
00:17:02I'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 so...
00:17:09This 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.
00:17:20What?
00:17:21Um, 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.
00:17:31And 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.
00:17:46Damien can't fight this.
00:17:48Hell, the entire Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this.
00:17:52He's done for.
00:17:55Sir, may I help?
00:17:57Please.
00:18:01Please.
00:18:05Mr. Sullivan.
00:18:06Harper 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.
00:18:21Within 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 it.
00:18:29Mr. Sullivan, are our partners...
00:18:31Get 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.
00:19:01Julian, I give you my word.
00:19:02The 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.
00:19:15Yeah, you got the money.
00:19:16But it's not about what you made.
00:19:17It's your family's fucking money.
00:19:19And now you're just a spoiled little trust fund baby who's been fired.
00:19:21So 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.
00:19:32Which 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.
00:19:59Which 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.
00:20:27Julian, please.
00:20:29Don'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?
00:20:37Julian, 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.
00:20:51Do it.
00:20:55Well, it looks like I won't need that phone call.
00:20:57Still running your mouth, huh?
00:20:58Move.
00:20:59Get 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!
00:21:11Out of here!
00:21:12Now!
00:21:13Dad?
00:21:14Grandpa?
00:21:14What are you doing here?
00:21:20Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's going on today.
00:21:26I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:30Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:33What?
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?
00:21:46Shut up!
00:21:54How 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.
00:22:10And 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?
00:22:17Serena, 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.
00:22:25No need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:27Julian, please, understand.
00:22:29All of this is on us.
00:22:30Thomas, everything 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!
00:23:02Enough!
00:23:03Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:05Let me apologize.
00:23:06Save it.
00:23:08Serena can't manage an apology herself.
00:23:11Then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:15Issue my order.
00:23:17Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:19Cease 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!
00:23:30What?
00:23:33No, no, no, no, no.
00:23:34What?
00:23:35Oh, I guess you could have just pulled their orders.
00:23:37What do you mean?
00:23:38Hostile takeover.
00:23:39All of our visitors 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?
00:23:52My entire division just stopped.
00:23:54We can't operate like this.
00:23:55A stunning reversal.
00:23:57Harper Enterprise's many allies withdraw their investments in an instant, leaving the group
00:24:02facing 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 Enterprises suddenly lose power?
00:24:13What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:16How is that possible?
00:24:19Are 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.
00:24:30Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks.
00:24:32Miss Harper, this isn't a race.
00:24:34Our major partners are terminating their contracts.
00:24:37And our own liquidity can't cover the gas.
00:24:40If this continues, the stock will crash straight through the floor.
00:24:44What did you say?
00:24:46Dammit.
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.
00:24:52Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your
00:24:57feet?
00:24:58Apologize to Julian.
00:25:00No!
00:25:04Serena, apologize.
00:25:07Serena.
00:25:18Serena, Serena, do not apologize.
00:25:21Harper Enterprises 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
00:25:30he has done to you.
00:25:32No!
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:35No, your fucking fault.
00:25:36You apologize to Julian right now.
00:25:38Get on your knees.
00:25:40Dad!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:42Damien!
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 trade him like this.
00:25:50Stay out of the way.
00:25:51No!
00:25:53Are you really going to go to war with Julian over this snake?
00:25:57Do you even have any idea who he really is?
00:25:59Whoever 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
00:26:09like 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.
00:26:18He throws tea on me in this very room.
00:26:20He squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a $100,000 watch.
00:26:24Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:26Oh, I...
00:26:28But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:31Hey, 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,
00:26:46I'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 and 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.
00:27:06Is 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.
00:27:32No, I am not done.
00:27:34Damien has worked himself to the bone.
00:27:37He is driven and disciplined,
00:27:39and when Harper first went public,
00:27:41he was a key reason that we made it.
00:27:43If you had even half his talent, Julian,
00:27:46maybe I would have said yes to once.
00:27:49But you don't.
00:27:53Damien was a key reason you made it.
00:27:55That'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,
00:28:03all of your proposals have sailed through?
00:28:06Why every deal that you like happened to have closed?
00:28:09Why 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.
00:28:15Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way.
00:28:18Damien?
00:28:19Brilliant?
00:28:20That was Julian.
00:28:22Julian 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.
00:28:42Hi's up, Serena.
00:28:43In the past six months,
00:28:45I've called in 47 separate connections
00:28:47and cleared a path for you.
00:28:48Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange.
00:28:50And you know, I 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 backing 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.
00:29:13It's not true, huh?
00:29:15Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me
00:29:17and my hard work and my connections.
00:29:19Oh, you arrogant fool.
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here
00:29:24and steal credit from everything?
00:29:31Alright, that's enough.
00:29:34I finally got the all clear for my grandfather.
00:29:36I can go home.
00:29:37So as of right now,
00:29:39our 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
00:29:47who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:52Without my connections
00:29:53and my network,
00:29:55Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:57And it's going to go right back
00:29:58to where it was six months ago.
00:30:01Wait, wait, wait.
00:30:02You're just going to go on.
00:30:04Prepare yourselves.
00:30:06Julian.
00:30:06Julian.
00:30:07Stop sitting.
00:30:08Julian.
00:30:11Serena.
00:30:13You silly, foolish, foolish girl.
00:30:16Grandpa, I have never been clearer
00:30:19with or without him.
00:30:20I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:22Serena's right.
00:30:23Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper,
00:30:25I'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.
00:30:30I'm going to beat the crap out of you once and for all.
00:30:33Dad, that is enough.
00:30:35Dad?
00:30:37Grandpa?
00:30:38I know you have your issues with Damien,
00:30:40but I believe he will prove himself to you.
00:30:43And so will I.
00:30:46I will show everyone here
00:30:48that what Harper achieved over the past six months
00:30:50was 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!
00:30:59God, tell me what to do
00:31:01with 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,
00:31:12but as long as we lock down
00:31:13Amber Group's Crescent Lake project,
00:31:15change the game,
00:31:16and everyone will still think
00:31:18that we're in control.
00:31:19Easy.
00:31:20The $3 billion Crescent Lake project.
00:31:23If we can win that contract,
00:31:25we can wipe all the problems we've been facing.
00:31:28Damien, you've secured
00:31:30several of Amber Group's projects before,
00:31:32and I'm going to put this one
00:31:34in your hands, too.
00:31:35It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:36No, no, absolutely.
00:31:37You can count on me.
00:31:38Amber Group's deputy VP of projects,
00:31:41and he trusts me clearly.
00:31:44He's as good as ours.
00:31:52Get the Crescent Lake contract ready.
00:31:54Same as always.
00:31:55Once the Harper team arrives,
00:31:56we hand it straight to them.
00:31:58Miss 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,
00:32:13who really stirred the pot,
00:32:14and then Serena personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:17Serena really thinks she got where she was
00:32:19because of Damien?
00:32:20That for your little lap dog?
00:32:21Then do we still hand the Crescent Lake project
00:32:25over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:26Without Julian,
00:32:28Harper Enterprise really thinks
00:32:29it's worthy of Crescent Lake?
00:32:31Not a chance.
00:32:32Open it to public bidding.
00:32:34Yes, ma'am.
00:32:42Now that is an amazing shot, Mr. Brooks.
00:32:45Damien,
00:32:46Crescent Lake's public bid is coming up soon.
00:32:49How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:05What does this mean, huh?
00:33:08Mr. Brooks,
00:33:08why don't you do yourself a favor
00:33:09and take a closer look?
00:33:13That's one million in clean crypto,
00:33:16untraceable.
00:33:17Harper Enterprise is totally prepared
00:33:19to take on Crescent Lake.
00:33:21We just need you to give us
00:33:23a little extra attention.
00:33:25Oh, my, Damien.
00:33:27You're too kind.
00:33:29Sure, it's a public bidding on paper,
00:33:31but as long as I'm here,
00:33:34you've got nothing to worry about.
00:33:36Sit tight.
00:33:38Contract's yours.
00:33:41Miss Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises
00:33:44whatever they want anyway.
00:33:46Well,
00:33:48thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:34:16Well, well.
00:34:19Brent's Jillian.
00:34:21All right, Serena kicked you out.
00:34:24Six months of hard work,
00:34:26down the drain.
00:34:27What does that feel?
00:34:30Oh, I see.
00:34:31So you brought me to your party
00:34:33just to mock me a little bit.
00:34:34Is that right?
00:34:35Of course not.
00:34:39I'm here to steal you.
00:34:42You see,
00:34:43since your engagement is off,
00:34:47I was thinking,
00:34:49how about you consider me, huh?
00:34:54Guys like us,
00:34:55we don't get to escape alliances.
00:34:57Our families will bear us off either way,
00:35:00so
00:35:02why pick a stranger
00:35:03when there's someone who
00:35:06actually knows you?
00:35:08You see?
00:35:09childhood friends,
00:35:11same circles,
00:35:14same circles,
00:35:1415 years of school.
00:35:16We match.
00:35:18You know?
00:35:19We fit.
00:35:21Hang on.
00:35:23Nora,
00:35:23are you saying this because
00:35:24you're drunk,
00:35:25or do you...
00:35:33I'm not drunk.
00:35:35Okay?
00:35:36You don't have to
00:35:37answer me tonight,
00:35:38just
00:35:38think about it.
00:35:40Hmm?
00:36:11I told you,
00:36:12I'm not drunk.
00:36:13This one should come off.
00:36:16Oh, shit.
00:36:17I'm drunk.
00:36:19You can't...
00:36:20This one should come off.
00:36:22Oh, shit.
00:36:23I'm drunk.
00:36:39Miss Lawson,
00:36:40Amber Group's
00:36:41distinguished CEO,
00:36:42allow me the pleasure
00:36:43of introducing myself.
00:36:46Oh,
00:36:47I am so sorry.
00:36:48Bad, bad timing.
00:36:49Truly terrible timing.
00:36:58Don't move.
00:37:00If that jacket

00:37:15Okay.
00:37:16Okay.
00:37:19But if
00:37:20you stay through to me,
00:37:22I just regress the night.
00:37:26I think my heart's
00:37:27going to skip
00:37:28on its chest.
00:37:41And suffer.
00:37:42Okay?
00:37:44If you push me,
00:37:45I will
00:37:46toss you into
00:37:48a little ice crusher.

00:38:13Okay.
00:38:19You know,
00:38:19this is a private party
00:38:20for Amber Group's CEO.
00:38:22You know what I lost?
00:38:23Not exactly
00:38:24the kind of place
00:38:25where anybody
00:38:25could just wander into.
00:38:27Oh, wait.
00:38:30Well, well.
00:38:32I mean,
00:38:32your engagement
00:38:33ends and you move
00:38:34on in record time.
00:38:36Feelings for Serena
00:38:37weren't that deep
00:38:37after all.
00:38:39Can I help you
00:38:40with something?
00:38:41Seriously?
00:38:42This woman's
00:38:43even prettier than Serena.
00:38:45How does a loser
00:38:45like Julian
00:38:46always get women?
00:38:47I guess your taste
00:38:48hasn't improved.
00:38:49Whatever bargain bin date
00:38:51you dragged here,
00:38:52she's nothing

00:39:53And if we do,
00:39:55I'll make sure

00:40:13So, that pretty boy
00:40:15Damien actually said
00:40:16that I'm nowhere near
00:40:17Serena.
00:40:19Tonight, we're gonna see
00:40:20who's really on top.
00:40:22Okay.
00:40:23Manners,
00:40:23this is a public event.
00:40:25What?
00:40:26You've known me
00:40:27since we were kids.
00:40:28Why would I pretend
00:40:29around you?
00:40:30But,
00:40:31if you like
00:40:33glasses,
00:40:34I can do glasses.
00:40:35Okay.
00:40:36You can do glasses?
00:40:37Yeah.
00:40:38Miss Lawson,
00:40:38it's an honor
00:40:39to see you here today.
00:40:46I'll let you get to it.
00:40:50Shall we?
00:41:07Julia.
00:41:11I'm surprised
00:41:12you showed up.
00:41:13You really love
00:41:14to humiliate yourself,
00:41:15huh?
00:41:17You know what?
00:41:18Mason Brooks,
00:41:19Amber Group's
00:41:20Deputy VP of Projects,
00:41:22already agreed to
00:41:23award the contract
00:41:24to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:26You can't win.
00:41:31I hear the Crescent Lake
00:41:32Project is basically
00:41:33yours.
00:41:34Congratulations.
00:41:36Serena,
00:41:36you are the
00:41:37business queen
00:41:37of Wall Street,
00:41:38and with Damien
00:41:39backing you up,
00:41:40it's unstoppable.
00:41:41When the two of you
00:41:41take off,
00:41:42don't forget
00:41:43the little guys
00:41:43like us.
00:41:44Of course.
00:41:45You know,
00:41:45we're gonna take
00:41:45care of you guys.
00:41:46Thank you so much.
00:41:54See that,
00:41:55Julian?
00:41:56Everybody already
00:41:57knows that Crescent Lake
00:41:58belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:59I suggest you walk out of here
00:42:00before you keep
00:42:01embarrassing yourself.
00:42:02It's funny.
00:42:04You see,
00:42:04my Clark Group
00:42:05has deeper capital,
00:42:06better tech,
00:42:07and a stronger global record
00:42:09than Harper Enterprise,
00:42:10so I'm just curious.
00:42:11Why would Mason Brooks
00:42:12go with you guys?
00:42:14He recognizes Damien's talent,
00:42:15of course.
00:42:21I need to take this.
00:42:28Hi, Julian.
00:42:32What century are you living in?
00:42:34Hmm?
00:42:35You really think that capital
00:42:36and technology
00:42:37wins contracts anymore?
00:42:38Then what does?
00:42:40I ain't really
00:42:40that fucking stupid.
00:42:42Of course this.
00:42:45I paid Mason Brooks
00:42:46one million in crypto.
00:42:48What do you have
00:42:49that's gonna 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,
00:42:58you wanna understand
00:42:59the rules up top there,
00:43:00sweetheart.
00:43:01But hey,

00:43:17a nice little fortune,
00:43:21capital technology
00:43:24is useless fucking trash.
00:43:28Mason Brooks,

00:43:38CEO or something?

00:43:42the fucking guts?
00:43:42It's adorable, no?
00:43:43Amber Group's
00:43:45anti-corruption code did.

00:43:48anti-corruption.
00:44:02What are you

00:44:03Mr. Brooks?
00:44:03Hmm?

00:45:18He's making things up.
00:45:20Don't listen to him.
00:45:20I swear,
00:45:22I never took
00:45:23one dollar from him.
00:45:24Not once!
00:45:27Miss Lawson?
00:45:30No,
00:45:30no,
00:45:31wait,

00:45:32Amber's group CEO?
00:45:34How is that possible?
00:45:36How is that fucking-
00:45:36Mr. Brooks!
00:45:37Hello,
00:45:38I am Serena Harper.
00:45:39Thank you so much
00:45:41for awarding
00:45:41the Crescent Lake Project
00:45:42to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:43We promise
00:45:44we won't let you down.
00:45:47Stop!
00:45:48Shut the fuck up!
00:45:50When did I ever
00:45:51give you anything?
00:45:54Miss Lawson,
00:45:55these Harper Enterprise people,
00:45:57they're all out of their minds,
00:45:59they lie like the wind.
00:46:01I can't believe
00:46:01a 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,
00:46:21I am,
00:46:21I am so sorry.
00:46:23Damien
00:46:23didn't know who you were,
00:46:25so he thought
00:46:26that you and Julian
00:46:27were being,
00:46:28um,
00:46:28inappropriate.
00:46:29but I'll make him apologize
00:46:31right now.
00:46:33He is blunt,
00:46:34yes,
00:46:35but his ability
00:46:36is exceptional.
00:46:38Please,
00:46:39give Harper Enterprise
00:46:41the contract
00:46:41and I promise
00:46:43we will deliver results
00:46:44that satisfy you.
00:46:45Exceptional ability?
00:46:47Are you sure about that?
00:46:49Of course.
00:46:50If not,
00:46:51why would Mason Brooks
00:46:52have handed him
00:46:52so many contracts before?
00:46:55You're about to find out.
00:47:02Damien?
00:47:04What does she mean?
00:47:06Oh,
00:47:07shit.
00:47:07I can't let her find out
00:47:08I secured every project
00:47:10right.
00:47:10So,
00:47:11she's upset
00:47:11because I mistook her
00:47:12for a whore.
00:47:13So,
00:47:13so,
00:47:13she wants revenge.
00:47:15So,
00:47:15so,
00:47:15so she's going to embarrass
00:47:16Harper Enterprise
00:47:17in front of everyone.
00:47:17So,
00:47:18what we need to do
00:47:18is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:19Let's go.
00:47:20Go?
00:47:21If we don't win Crescent Lake,
00:47:23Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:26Even if Miss Lawson
00:47:27is trying to punish us,
00:47:28we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:29Serena,
00:47:30please!
00:47:30Okay,
00:47:30I'm sorry.
00:47:32Here we go now.
00:47:33All right,
00:47:34I'll get you bigger projects.
00:47:35the biggest ones,
00:47:35but we need to go now.
00:47:36Come on.
00:47:37What is wrong with you today?
00:47:39Are you hiding something from me?
00:47:42I...
00:47:42Shh.
00:47:54You want to understand
00:47:55the rules up top there,
00:47:56sweetheart?
00:47:58Technology capital.
00:48:00Useless fucking trash.
00:48:02What?
00:48:03Shit!
00:48:03She actually reported it?
00:48:05And escort.
00:48:06So why don't you do us all
00:48:07a nice little favor,
00:48:08get up on that stage,
00:48:09give us a nice little poll show.
00:48:13Who is that?
00:48:15He bribed Mason Brooks
00:48:17for contracts?
00:48:18That's Damien Blackwell,
00:48:19Harper Enterprise's
00:48:20executive assistant.
00:48:21How do you not know him?
00:48:22All of the best Amber projects
00:48:24being sent to Harper Enterprise
00:48:26over the past six months,
00:48:27and now we know
00:48:28they were bought.
00:48:31That's not true.
00:48:32All of that's a lie.
00:48:33Just don't...
00:48:34Don't believe it.
00:48:35I...
00:48:35Just turn it off.
00:48:36Turn it off right now!
00:48:37Stop him!
00:48:39Not coming to me!
00:48:42Damien,
00:48:42you did this behind my back?
00:48:44This is your talent?
00:48:45Your ability?
00:48:47Serene,
00:48:48please just...
00:48:48Mr. Brooks' defense
00:48:50said...
00:48:51What a fucking routine
00:48:51listening to Samuel.
00:48:52Who are you to say anything?
00:48:54What do you think,
00:48:55your Amber group CEO?
00:48:57Amber...
00:48:57Turn it off, please.
00:49:00Okay, okay.
00:49:01Ms. Lawson,
00:49:01please just turn it off.
00:49:02Just...
00:49:03Please stop it!
00:49:04Please!
00:49:04Please!
00:49:06Bribery is one thing,
00:49:07but mistaking Ms. Lawson
00:49:09for an escort?
00:49:10A whore?
00:49:12He's fucking blind.
00:49:13The best part?
00:49:14He confessed
00:49:15right in front of her
00:49:16that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:18Genius!
00:49:19And Serena trusted him
00:49:20to be her assistant?
00:49:21I mean,
00:49:22what does that say
00:49:22about her judgment?
00:49:24Damien,
00:49:25you have disappointed me
00:49:27beyond words.
00:49:28Serena,
00:49:29I did it because
00:49:29I cared about you.
00:49:30Because I care about
00:49:31Harper Enterprise.
00:49:32Please,
00:49:32I'm...
00:49:32Can you tell me the truth?
00:49:34Enough.
00:49:35Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:37Mason Brooks,
00:49:38you're fired.
00:49:40Effective immediately.
00:49:42I'm done.
00:49:44The Crescent Lake Project
00:49:47Harper Enterprise
00:49:48is disqualified.
00:49:50Every single project
00:49:51Amber Group
00:49:52has done together
00:49:53with them
00:49:53will be suspended.
00:49:55The projects
00:49:55will be back
00:49:56for competitive bidding.
00:50:00No, no,
00:50:00you can't do that.
00:50:02Those projects
00:50:02are our next three years.
00:50:04They affect
00:50:04thousands of employees.
00:50:06Their lives
00:50:06are future.
00:50:08And why
00:50:09the person
00:50:09who hired trash
00:50:10and called it talent?
00:50:13Real talent.
00:50:20Pathetic.
00:50:25Serena.
00:50:28Please,
00:50:29you gotta let me explain.
00:50:31Miss Lawson,
00:50:32wait!
00:50:32Serena!
00:50:41I just avenged you
00:50:43in front of a lot
00:50:44of people.
00:50:45Asking for our dinner
00:50:46isn't too much, right?
00:50:47Not at all.
00:50:49You pick.
00:50:50My treat.
00:50:51Generous.
00:50:52Let's go.
00:50:53Time to rob
00:50:54the tycoon.
00:50:57Miss Lawson,
00:50:59Damien was wrong
00:51:01to bribe anyone
00:51:02and I apologize
00:51:03on his behalf.
00:51:05Just please
00:51:06give Harper Enterprise

00:51:11the highest standards.
00:51:12I will deliver
00:51:12a perfect result
00:51:13on every project.
00:51:15Perfect result?
00:51:17And what exactly
00:51:18guarantees that?
00:51:19Your empty suit assistant?
00:51:22Miss Lawson,
00:51:24Damien made a mistake,
00:51:26but his ability
00:51:28is exceptional.
00:51:30For six months,
00:51:31he managed
00:51:32every Harper Enterprise
00:51:33project flawlessly.
00:51:34No errors,
00:51:35no delays.
00:51:36If you don't pull
00:51:37this contract,
00:51:38I guarantee
00:51:39he will make sure
00:51:40you see his value.
00:51:44Managed flawlessly?
00:51:46He's not the only
00:51:47empty suit here.
00:51:49You're too.
00:51:51Miss Lawson,
00:51:52you are crossing
00:51:53a line.
00:51:55I understand
00:51:56that you
00:51:58and Julian
00:51:58are close
00:51:59and you want
00:52:00to get back
00:52:00at me for him,
00:52:01but humiliating
00:52:02someone like this,
00:52:03isn't that a little cruel?
00:52:05You really think
00:52:05I froze our cooperation
00:52:07because Damien
00:52:08and Bribe Mason?
00:52:10Wasn't that
00:52:11the reason?
00:52:12For six months,
00:52:14Harper Enterprise
00:52:15got everything
00:52:16it wanted
00:52:17from Ember Group.
00:52:19For one reason,
00:52:21Julian Clark,
00:52:23Damien
00:52:24has nothing
00:52:25to do with that.
00:52:26He was just
00:52:27a messenger boy
00:52:28who picked up
00:52:28the contracts.
00:52:30What?
00:52:31When Julian was there,
00:52:32bribe or no bribe,
00:52:34Harper Enterprise
00:52:35got the deals
00:52:36anyway.
00:52:37But now,
00:52:38Julian's gone,
00:52:39so the special
00:52:40treatment is gone.
00:52:42Damien's little
00:52:43ribbing incident,
00:52:44it was just
00:52:45a convenient excuse
00:52:46to take everything
00:52:47back.
00:52:47Understand now?
00:52:52And about those
00:52:53flawless projects,
00:52:55Harper Enterprise
00:52:56didn't run smoothly
00:52:57because Damien
00:52:58is brilliant.
00:53:00It ran smoothly
00:53:01because Julian
00:53:01called every partner,
00:53:04every supplier,
00:53:05every gatekeeper
00:53:06and cleared
00:53:07the path for you.
00:53:08Damien had nothing
00:53:10to do with that.
00:53:12No.
00:53:15That's not true.
00:53:16I don't believe it.
00:53:17You don't believe me?
00:53:19Then watch.
00:53:20Watch what happens
00:53:22when Julian leaves.
00:53:24Let's see if
00:53:25your exceptional Damien
00:53:26can keep everything
00:53:27perfect
00:53:27when Julian
00:53:29is not there
00:53:29to hold
00:53:30the world
00:53:31together for you.
00:53:33Come on,
00:53:34let's go.
00:53:40Julian,
00:53:42is what she's
00:53:43saying true?
00:53:45You were right
00:53:46about one thing,
00:53:46Serena.
00:53:47Julian and I
00:53:48are closer
00:53:49than you thought.
00:53:50That's why it disgusts
00:53:51me watching him
00:53:52waste his life away
00:53:54on a selfish
00:53:55and blind woman
00:53:56like you.
00:54:01Was I wrong?
00:54:02No, no, no,
00:54:03Serena, Serena,
00:54:03do not listen
00:54:04to her nonsense.
00:54:05Harper's success
00:54:06is based off
00:54:07of my hard work.
00:54:09Okay, Nora Lawson,
00:54:09she's attacking
00:54:10and slandering
00:54:11my name
00:54:12to defend.
00:54:13Julian,
00:54:14you have to believe me.
00:54:15Please,
00:54:15you have to understand.
00:54:16Because of you,
00:54:18Crescent Lake
00:54:18is gone.
00:54:19Every Amber
00:54:21project is gone.
00:54:22Harper Enterprise
00:54:23is on the edge
00:54:24of collapse
00:54:25and you're asking
00:54:26me to trust you?
00:54:27How?
00:54:28Tell me how.
00:54:29Please,
00:54:30just listen to me.
00:54:32Okay, yeah,
00:54:32we lost Amber,
00:54:33but we're not finished.
00:54:35I mean,
00:54:36we still have the partners
00:54:36and the CEOs.
00:54:37I mean,
00:54:37they love me.
00:54:38They absolutely love
00:54:39and adore me.
00:54:41I promise.
00:54:41You know what?
00:54:42Matter of fact,
00:54:43I'm going to call
00:54:43and I'm going to get you
00:54:44some new projects
00:54:44right now.
00:54:49Hello,
00:54:49Mr. Foster.
00:54:50It's Damian here.
00:54:51I hear the Grandview Plaza
00:54:52is taking bids
00:54:54and Harper Enterprise,
00:54:55you know,
00:54:55we would absolutely love.
00:54:57Love.
00:54:57Harper Enterprise?
00:54:58Who the hell is that?
00:54:59You think you're even
00:55:00in the same league
00:55:01as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:03Uh,
00:55:05Mr. Foster,
00:55:06what do you mean?
00:55:07I,
00:55:08last time we spoke
00:55:09you said
00:55:09that you believed
00:55:11in the Harper Enterprise
00:55:11and that you would
00:55:12love to work together.
00:55:13Listen up,
00:55:14that's because Julian Clark
00:55:16was in your damn
00:55:17Enterprise.
00:55:17I was giving him
00:55:18respect.
00:55:19You,
00:55:20don't flatter yourself,
00:55:21bunch of blind
00:55:22dumbasses.
00:55:24Call me again
00:55:24and I'll block
00:55:25your fucking number.
00:55:26So what really was Julian?
00:55:28No,
00:55:28no,
00:55:29that's,
00:55:29that's not possible.
00:55:31I,
00:55:31I don't,
00:55:31I don't believe that.
00:55:32I don't.
00:55:33Hello,
00:55:34Mr. Parker,
00:55:34it's Damian.
00:55:35I was hoping to talk
00:55:35about future collaborations.
00:55:37Damian,
00:55:38you've got the fucking nerve
00:55:40to call me?
00:55:41I gave Harper Enterprise
00:55:42projects because of
00:55:43Mr. Clark
00:55:44and then you turned around
00:55:45and claimed
00:55:46you closed the deal?
00:55:48Who gave you
00:55:49the audacity?
00:55:50Shameless trash?
00:55:54Ms. Parker.
00:55:56Ms. Parker,
00:55:57no,
00:55:57no,
00:55:58God damn it!
00:55:59No,
00:55:59I,
00:55:59I don't believe this.
00:56:01I don't believe this
00:56:02fucking Julian
00:56:03this whole fucking time.
00:56:04God damn it.
00:56:06Sorry,
00:56:07sorry,
00:56:07um,
00:56:08hello?
00:56:09Mr. Turner,
00:56:10it's Damian.
00:56:11Damian,
00:56:12who do you think you are,
00:56:13huh?
00:56:13Calling me directly?
00:56:15Learn some manners.
00:56:18Julian was polite enough
00:56:19to tolerate you
00:56:20playing sideman
00:56:21with his fiance.
00:56:22I'm not,
00:56:22you bastard Tui.
00:56:25Mr. Turner?
00:56:27Mr. Turner,
00:56:28please.
00:56:31What the fuck
00:56:31is happening?
00:56:39Ms. Harper?
00:56:40This is bad.
00:56:41Our partners
00:56:42are flooding us
00:56:43with messages.
00:56:44They're suspending contracts,
00:56:45pulling out a deal.
00:56:46Wait,
00:56:46what is happening?
00:56:48They said before
00:56:49they only worked
00:56:50with Harper Enterprise
00:56:51because Julian Clark
00:56:52backed us.
00:56:52Now that he's gone,
00:56:53they don't trust us
00:56:54with their project.
00:56:56Julian.
00:56:58It's Julian again.
00:57:02So it's,
00:57:03it's true.
00:57:05they only gave us deals
00:57:07because of Julian.
00:57:09Julian!
00:57:10No, no, no, no.
00:57:10Swingo, please.
00:57:11Okay?
00:57:12They're just saying that
00:57:13because Julian has been
00:57:14paying them off.
00:57:15Think about it.
00:57:15Okay?
00:57:16You know what?
00:57:16Just give you some time
00:57:17and I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:19I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:20I swear.
00:57:20Get away from me!
00:57:23You liar!
00:57:24You fraud, Damien!
00:57:26All those CEOs!
00:57:28They only had you
00:57:29pick up contracts from them
00:57:31and you told me
00:57:32you negotiated the deals.
00:57:34I swear,
00:57:35I didn't know
00:57:36that they would.
00:57:39Get out of my sight.
00:57:42Now!
00:57:59Walk!
00:58:01Dammit!
00:58:01No!
00:58:02I was this close
00:58:02to locking Serena down,
00:58:04stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:05I'm not letting it end like this.
00:58:12Serena,
00:58:13you really thought
00:58:14you were smart.
00:58:16But you're really just
00:58:18pathetic,
00:58:19trash,
00:58:20without Julian,
00:58:22you're nothing.
00:58:33Dad warned you,
00:58:35Grandpa warned you,
00:58:37and you still
00:58:38wouldn't listen.
00:58:42You ignored
00:58:43everything Julian did
00:58:44and worshipped
00:58:45a con artist
00:58:47like Damien.
00:58:48you idiot.
00:58:50Stupid.
00:58:51Stupid.
00:58:56Stupid.
00:59:00Stupid.
00:59:01And now look at you.
00:59:03Projects gone.
00:59:06Company collapsing.
00:59:10Idiot.
00:59:11You arrogant.
00:59:12Stupid.
00:59:13Idiot.
00:59:15Idiot.
00:59:16So stupid.
00:59:23Julie, I'm sorry.
00:59:31I'm so sorry.
00:59:33I know.
00:59:36I know.
00:59:37I know I messed up.
00:59:39Whoa.
00:59:40Whoa.
00:59:43Julian.
00:59:44I'm sorry.
00:59:47I know.
00:59:48I know.
00:59:48I know.
00:59:48I'm sorry.
00:59:49Look.
00:59:50Always damn Julian.
00:59:53Julian.
00:59:56Come back.
00:59:57Okay?
00:59:58Please come back.
01:00:04Damn back.
01:00:09You don't have to be scared.
01:00:12Harper Enterprise's business,
01:00:13queen,
01:00:14so much better
01:00:15than those cheap girls.
01:00:16Once I lock her down,
01:00:18Harper Enterprise's mind.
01:00:22Damien!
01:00:22You sick bastard!
01:00:25You sick bastard!
01:00:30I really mean it.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:33You fucking...
01:00:34I'm telling you the truth.
01:00:36I mean it.
01:00:37Okay?
01:00:37I promise.
01:00:39I'll treat you well.
01:00:43Fucking monster.
01:00:44Dead.
01:00:45Get off me, please.
01:00:46I'm begging you.
01:00:48Don't.
01:00:48Say yes.
01:00:50What are you doing?
01:00:55I'm sorry.
01:00:58I tried being nice to you.
01:00:59I fucking tried.
01:01:01But you keep fighting me back.
01:01:02Help.
01:01:03Help.
01:01:04Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:05Keep fucking screaming.
01:01:07Right?
01:01:08You're not going to say no.
01:01:10I'm going to fuck you.
01:01:12Help.
01:01:14Help.
01:01:14Help.
01:01:16Julian.
01:01:17Julian, help.
01:01:19Oh.
01:01:21Get him out of here.
01:01:23Stop.
01:01:23Let me go.
01:01:25Julian, you're always moving the fucking lights.
01:01:27This is an offer.
01:01:32Julian, please.
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 to Corral.
01:01:48Yes, sir.
01:01:51Julian.
01:01:52I'm sorry.
01:01:54I know.
01:01:55I was wrong.
01:01:57Just...
01:01:57Please come back.
01:01:59Julian.
01:02:00Our reservation is in 10 minutes.
01:02:03Let's go.
01:02:03Let's go.
01:02:11Serena.
01:02:13I told you over and over and over again that Damien was not a good man, and you refused to
01:02:24listen.
01:02:25Julian, and 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 pride of yours, one day, you live to regret it.
01:02:41Dad, Grandpa, please.
01:02:42Stop.
01:02:43I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:45Okay, I'll apologize to Julian, and I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:54The problem with that is that you may feel that way, but Julian might not.
01:03:01Grandpa, don't worry.
01:03:04I will apologize properly, and I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:10That's all we can do.
01:03:12So, 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.
01:03:59Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:06What is this supposed to be?
01:04:07A 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, you have to accept the gift.
01:04:22Not really.
01:04:32Hey, can you not do that?
01:04:34You'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, housed me
01:04:45by now.
01:04:46Don't tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:49Hung up?
01:04:52No, I'm 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 Wallace.
01:05:16Wait, what are you talking about?
01:05:17Are you serious?
01:05:18Yes, Julian.
01:05:19Julian, my uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune, and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of me
01:05:25permanently.
01:05:25But 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.
01:05:38You know, if you'll marry me, my family won't dare object.
01:05:45Please, Julian.
01:05:56Okay.
01:05:58I'll marry you.
01:06:00Are you serious?
01:06:02No takebacks.
01:06:03No takebacks.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:04Ever.
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.
01:06:19It's like you said.
01:06:22If I accept the gift, then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:31Then be gentle.
01:06:40Julian, you didn't forget what you promised last night, right?
01:06:45Uh, no, because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:06:49Of course I remember them.
01:06:51You know, when someone wraps themselves as a gift, you kind of, you kind of remember that for the rest
01:06:56of your life, you know, that-
01:06:57Details!
01:06:58Those are just tiny details.
01:07:02You look like big details to me.
01:07:08Julian, can 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.
01:07:15I 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.
01:07:23And 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.
01:07:42Well, Julian hates them too.
01:07:45And yet he 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, we are together now, so better keep your distance.
01:08:08But, if 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.
01:08:22Let's go.
01:08:28Let'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.
01:08:49She's the CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:51Of course.
01:08:52You know, Serena, it's an elite like Julian.
01:08:55The 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. Harper, finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:15Harper 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 was going to lend to us now.
01:09:30How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:32This 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.
01:09:43I didn't realize that Julian was running everything, and the moment he's gone, I...
01:09:48I can't do anything.
01:09:51Dad, Grandpa, I'm so sorry.
01:09:55I ruined Harper Enterprise.
01:09:58I 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.
01:10:12Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:14If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:17The Clark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:20Yes, they honored our engagement.
01:10:24And that was a mercy.
01:10:26That was a blessing.
01:10:28But you threw it away.
01:10:33Still, for your sake and for your future, and for our future, we'll fight.
01:10:44Come on.
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.
01:11:23You 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?
01:11:33So they're really engaged?
01:11:36Wait, how is this all happening so fast?
01:11:40What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:42Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson have known each other since they were born and everyone is so happy that they're
01:11:48finally getting married.
01:11:49Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:52You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:11:55Then 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?
01:12:25Alright, everyone.
01:12:27Big smiles.
01:12:44Delina, are you okay?
01:12:46Hey, I can see you.
01:12:52What is it?
01:12:54Oh, it's nothing.
01:12:55Come on.
01:12:55Dinner's almost ready.
01:13:09Dad, the Harpers.
01:13:13My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:17For a young one,
01:13:20his six months at Harper Enterprise,
01:13:22it was a total humiliation.
01:13:26We've shown the Harpers more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:31Understood, Dad.
01:13:40Okay, enough, Serena.
01:13:42Stop.
01:13:42You 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, okay?
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,
01:14:06and then I am taking you home.
01:14:09No.
01:14:17Nora.
01:14:20Okay, Nora.
01:14:21Be honest.
01:14:23You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:25You just got engaged,
01:14:27and you're getting married next week?
01:14:29Let's see.
01:14:30You've known Julian for 20-plus years.
01:14:33You 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.
01:14:40You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:14:42Lock it down from what?
01:14:43From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:14:46They're collapsing and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:14:50But I 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 do it.
01:15:13Then why?
01:15:16Because Serena is his type.
01:15:20Wait, 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.
01:15:35I 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.
01:15:57I cannot give her a single chance.
01:16:00So that's what it was.
01:16:02Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:16:04because I'm his type.
01:16:06He likes me.
01:16:07That 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.
01:16:21Where is she?
01:16:28Ladies 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.
01:17:55Okay?
01:17:56Just please,
01:17:57give me another chance.
01:18:01Our 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...
01:18:19I know.
01:18:21You hate me.
01:18:22Because I rejected you 37 times.
01:18:25But I'll make it up to you.
01:18:28I'll chase you 37 times.
01:18:30370 times.
01:18:31Whatever it did.
01:18:33Can we please get her out?
01:18:35Oh, don't touch me!
01:18:36Julian,
01:18:37what do you want from me?
01:18:38I know you like me.
01:18:40So,
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.
01:19:00See,
01:19:01what you want
01:19:01is not a chance,
01:19:03but a tool.
01:19:04You want me back
01:19:05so you can be
01:19:06Wall Street's business queen again,
01:19:07huh?
01:19:09No,
01:19:09that,
01:19:10that,
01:19:11that's not true.
01:19:13Just please.
01:19:15Listen,
01:19:15please, listen.
01:19:17Serena,
01:19:18when you threw me out of Harper Enterprise,
01:19:19do you remember how cold
01:19:20and arrogant you were?
01:19:23Let me ask you this.
01:19:24If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed,
01:19:26if your value kept climbing,
01:19:28would you still be here
01:19:30standing in front of me today?
01:19:33I...
01:19:34I...
01:19:34No,
01:19:34no,
01:19:35you wouldn't.
01:19:35You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:37You'd be celebrating.
01:19:38You'd say that you earned
01:19:39the business queen crown.
01:19:41You'd be mocking me,
01:19:42calling me pathetic.
01:19:43You'd say that firing me
01:19:44was the best decision
01:19:45you ever made.
01:19:46Plus,
01:19:46you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:19:48No.
01:19:50No,
01:19:51no,
01:19:52that's not me.
01:19:54Just admit it,
01:19:55Serena.
01:19:56You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:58But on my wedding day,
01:19:59you show up like
01:19:59some tragic devoted lover.
01:20:01Why?
01:20:02Because you want me back
01:20:03as your lifeline,
01:20:04your donor,
01:20:05your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:07But the moment
01:20:08I stop being useful,
01:20:09you will kick me away again
01:20:10without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:13No.
01:20:14No,
01:20:15Julian.
01:20:16That is not true tonight.
01:20:18That you saved me
01:20:20from Damien.
01:20:21I...
01:20:23I felt something for you.
01:20:25I did.
01:20:25Stop.
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
01:20:33Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:20:35You know,
01:20:36I'll admit,
01:20:36when I met you,
01:20:38you were exactly my type.
01:20:41But once I got to know you,
01:20:42once I realized
01:20:43what you really are,
01:20:45all I felt was disgust.
01:20:48But Nora,
01:20:51she has cared for me
01:20:52since we were kids.
01:20:56When I was sick,
01:20:58she stayed up all night
01:20:59taking care of me.
01:21:01When I was at my lowest,
01:21:02she pulled me back up.
01:21:04Even when I went back
01:21:05to Harper Enterprise
01:21:06on the engagement,
01:21:08she still supported me.
01:21:10She still took hits from me.
01:21:14So,
01:21:15let me ask you,
01:21:18why would I give up
01:21:19all of that
01:21:19for you?
01:21:22What makes you think
01:21:23you deserve that?
01:21:29get her out?
01:21:30No,
01:21:30no.
01:21:31No,
01:21:31please don't,
01:21:32Julian.
01:21:33Don't,
01:21:33don't,
01:21:34I'm begging you,
01:21:35just please let me explain.
01:21:37Please,
01:21:38please,
01:21:38please,
01:21:38please stop,
01:21:39let me go.
01:21:40Julian,
01:21:41please don't do it.
01:21:42crashing a wedding like that?
01:21:44I thought she actually loved him.
01:21:46Turns out,
01:21:46she just realized
01:21:47without Julian,
01:21:49she can't stay on top.
01:21:50She used Julian's feelings
01:21:51like a weapon,
01:21:52totally vampire-drained him dry.
01:22:24Mr. 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, we're all being terminated.
01:22:51What?
01:22:54Mr. 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.
01:23:04You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:10You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:13I've seen how you all work.
01:23:14I'm sure.
01:23:17Bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud.
01:23:24Everyone beat us a file.
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 them.
01:23:35This, this is it.
01:23:52Are 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.
01:24:31I won't accept it.
01:24:34Julian, what's yours?
01:24:35Julian, let's go!
01:24:39Let me go! Bucky, let me go!
01:24:42I already spared you.
01:24:43You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:46Take him to the police.
01:24:47Get the best lawyer money can buy.
01:24:48I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:49Fucking coward!
01:24:50You're a fucking coward!
01:24:52Hiding behind your goddamn family's money!
01:24:53No, no, fight me!
01:24:54101!
01:24:55101, let the guards go!
01:24:57You don't have the fucking guts to you!
01:25:02Hey, Julian.
01:25:04What was that?
01:25:06Just taking out the trash.
01:25:09Are you done here?
01:25:11No.
01:25:12Let's go.
01:25:19I was wrong!
01:25:21Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:23Julian, I was wrong!
