00:00:04Breaking news, Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack.
00:00:08In the past hour alone, the conglomerate has lost over a billion dollars in Arcee's valuation.
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, or I told you it's all.
00:00:27You gotta do it now.
00:00:28This isn't some random dip. Whoever's shorting us came prepared. They're tearing us apart.
00:00:33We can't hold the line. We're about to become the laughingstock of Wall Street.
00:00:36No, no, we're not finished. We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:43The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:48Julia, we need you. Again.
00:00:51Shit.
00:00:52We need your help. The fairy is over.
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.
00:01:19Great.
00:01:24The stock price is recovering.
00:01:26How is that possible?
00:01:28Did Mr. Clark just fix this with a few calls?
00:01:31Julian, what would Harper do without you?
00:01:34Julian, Damien's assistant called.
00:01:36Called in all hands.
00:01:38All department leads.
00:01:39Conference room in 10 minutes.
00:01:40Chairman's orders.
00:01:42Why would Damien call in the meeting?
00:01:44He despises you.
00:01:46Watch your back.
00:02:14Today, Damien successfully made a mistake.
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?
00:02:33He must have stole this win from someone else.
00:02:35Remember what he did to Anthony from investments?
00:02:37Damien took credit for his deal.
00:02:39Anthony pushed back, and Damien used this pool with Serena to get him fired.
00:02:48Hello?
00:02:49Is 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 could do.
00:02:55Damien.
00:02:59Of course.
00:03:01Questions?
00:03:02I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:10Julian.
00:03:11The company just went through a crisis, and you're up here gaming?
00:03:15Kyron may be.
00:03:16Keep sharing.
00:03:17I'm listening.
00:03:21This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:25Wait, 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?
00:03:55Alright, fine.
00:03:56Next question.
00:03:58Which 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, um, well, um, well, I, uh, well, well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:11Alright, so you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room, the
00:04:16countermeasures for a potential proxies fight, or which SCC clauses could be used to threaten
00:04:20the attackers.
00:04:23Let's be real.
00:04:26You 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?
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.
00:05:06Understood.
00:05:08Now, the hearing's not enough.
00:05:08I 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 $3 trillion.
00:05:22You've proven 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.
00:05:36Feelings could grow, brat.
00:05:39Our families go way better.
00:05:41Your 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.
00:05:53You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:56Go work with Serena.
00:05:58And date her properly, hmm?
00:06:02You refuse.
00:06:04Okay.
00:06:05Nurse, doctor, I'm checking out.
00:06:08Well, the ransom won't listen.
00:06:09What's the point?
00:06:10Okay.
00:06:10Let the heart attack take me now.
00:06:11Okay, 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.
00:06:24The Harper's never in trouble.
00:06:25We do not abandon our own youths, that brilliant head of youths, and help them, please, 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.
00:06:57I made Serena Harper, the queen of the city's business world.
00:07:00And for what?
00:07:01So she could give my triumphs and victories to that sycophant Damien?
00:07:06It's time to come home.
00:07:13You asked for my opinion, and you couldn't handle it.
00:07:16So, pathetic.
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 no!
00:07:26Or I'm going to call security, and you're going to drag your ass out.
00:07:29Suit yourself.
00:07:32Julian, 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.
00:07:44Serena, is that really the best play you want to make here?
00:07:46I will not repeat it, and do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:49You know what, Serena?
00:07:51Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:59You don't push your luck, Clark.
00:08:00The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the first place is because
00:08:04of your dusty fucking engagement to Serena, and you have the audacity to act all high
00:08:08and 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 old Beyoncé is telling you to get lost.
00:08:17So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost before I fucking report on it?
00:08:28You broke it.
00:08:29You broke my teeth.
00:08:31You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole?
00:08:32A hundred thousand dollars.
00:08:37We lost your balance.
00:08:39Maybe work on your course sheet.
00:08:40Julian, that is enough.
00:08:42Disrupting proceedings, assault, destruction of property.
00:08:46As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:50Effective immediately.
00:08:51Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:53Serena, you broke my watch.
00:08:55The 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.
00:09:06Fine.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:09Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:10What?
00:09:11One 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?
00:09:21A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:23He does have a point card.
00:09:25You 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'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 fiancé?
00:09:49Look at her now.
00:09:50She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:54A million dollars.
00:09:56What's the final offer?
00:09:57What do you mean?
00:10:02Hi.
00:10:03I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper Headquarters.
00:10:16I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper Headquarters.
00:10:23You just called for a million dollars in cash, like 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.
00:10:40Whoa.
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!
00:11:04Mr. Brooks.
00:11:07That's David Brooks.
00:11:08Prisoner 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 it to 100 million long?
00:11:14It can't be.
00:11:15That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:19Mr. Clark.
00:11:21The one million.
00:11:22As 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?
00:11:54Delivered by Mr. Brooks?
00:11:55I mean...
00:11:56Wait, who are you?
00:12:00Much appreciated.
00:12:01You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:09Mr. Brooks.
00:12:10Mr. Brooks.
00:12:11Sir.
00:12:11We 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 me 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?
00:12:41Unprofessional.
00:12:42I'm suspending the hundred million dollar deal.
00:12:44We'll reassess when there's adult supervision.
00:12:48Yes, sir.
00:12:49Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:53Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:55Let'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 slip...
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.
00:13:14Which makes this watch...
00:13:19It's mine.
00:13:21You arrogant son 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.
00:13:39The debt for the watch is settled.
00:13:40But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:42That useless piece of junk, how much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:45Oh.
00:13:46I don't know.
00:13:47Maybe about...
00:13:48A hundred million?
00:13:50A hundred million dollars!
00:13:54For a laptop?
00:13:56Have you lost your mind?
00:13:59A hundred million.
00:14:00For a laptop.
00:14:02Julian.
00:14:03The law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:05What's your committee 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?
00:14:16Ask a kisser.
00:14:17Enough!
00:14:18Julian.
00:14:20You know, I know you think you're right,
00:14:22what, 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!
00:14:49Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:51That's Billy Sullivan.
00:14:52SVP for Stellar.
00:14:53Here?
00:14:54You think he's about the $300 million partner you chipped in?
00:14:56$300 million?
00:14:58That's huge for us, but pocket change for Stellar.
00:15:00Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:03Mr. Sullivan.
00:15:05Uh, what an unexpected honor.
00:15:07I'm Sabrina Harper, CEO.
00:15:09Do, what do we owe the...
00:15:10Mr. Clark,
00:15:11our security have detected an urgent impact alert from your device,
00:15:15and the signal originated here.
00:15:17Be with concern for your safety and kill 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, this damage is significant.
00:15:34With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate,
00:15:38this could be $30 million.
00:15:42$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...
00:15:50I'll open your eyes.
00:15:51This is a one-off laptop with Stellar's quantum processors
00:15:54and proprietary components.
00:15:56You better pray that those data partitions are intact
00:15:58or 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.
00:16:08I mean, with our declarations, this is at least $70 million.
00:16:13That's $70 million?
00:16:15Mr. Clark has data on his laptop registered with monetary values
00:16:19to 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.
00:16:30See for yourself.
00:16:39Who carries around a $100 million laptop?
00:16:46Who exactly are you?
00:16:47You don't get to know.
00:16:50In 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.
00:17:05I don't fly across the city of Skim and nobody like you.
00:17:08Listen, I'm so.
00:17:09Miss Harper, this is the employee you hire.
00:17:13He's a fool.
00:17:14And it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:17Oh, 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...
00:17:26He's stressy.
00:17:27He didn't mean...
00:17:27Save it.
00:17:28You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:32You, if you dispute evaluations, we can settle it in court.
00:17:35My legal team has 965 lawyers.
00:17:39I'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.
00:17:56So, may I have help?
00:17:57Please.
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.
00:18:14You 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.
00:18:30Mr. Sullivan, our partners...
00:18:31Miss Harper.
00:18:32Get your house in order first.
00:18:34Stellar has standards.
00:18:36We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:38That'll be all.
00:18:39Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:40Oh, that'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.
00:18:57We don't need someone like you worrying about it.
00:18:59He's right.
00:19:01Julian, I give you my word.
00:19:03The full amount will be paid within three days.
00:19:05But 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?
00:19:27One 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.
00:19:59Remind me.
00:19:59Which one of us is the real boy toy?
00:20:04You...
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.
00:20:21I'm the one in charge here.
00:20:24Security, remove him.
00:20:28Julian, please, don't make us get physical.
00:20:31I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in.
00:20:33You really want to lay hands on me?
00:20:36Chairman Harper brought you in?
00:20:38Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:40Who do you think you are?
00:20:42You 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.
00:20:55Looks like I don't need that phone call.
00:20:57Still running your mouth, huh?
00:20:59Move.
00:20:59Get in the fuck, Addy.
00:21:05What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:09Stand down!
00:21:10All of you!
00:21:11You, out of here.
00:21:13Now!
00:21:13Dad, Grandpa, what are you doing here?
00:21:21Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's going on today.
00:21:26I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:31Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:35Chairman 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.
00:21:46How could you possibly?
00:21:47Shut up!
00:21:54I'm sorry.
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.
00:22:02I wish we hit him more.
00:22:04Serena, 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're 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.
00:22:25No need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:26Julian, please, understand.
00:22:29All of this is on us.
00:22:31Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harperfin.
00:22:36Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:42Apologize 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.
00:23:06Say that.
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.
00:23:20Cease every protective measure, effective immediately.
00:23:23Julian, please, don't.
00:23:24Without you, this place doesn't survive.
00:23:27Look!
00:23:29Oh!
00:23:30What?
00:23:33What?
00:23:36Oh, I guess you could have just pulled the orders.
00:23:38What do you mean, hospital takeover?
00:23:39All of my 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?
00:23:52My 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.
00:24:10Why did Harper Enterprise's 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!
00:24:35Our 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?
00:24:46Damn 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?
00:24:59Apologize to Julian!
00:25:01No!
00:25:05Serena, apologize.
00:25:08Serena.
00:25:19Serena, do not apologize.
00:25:21Harper Enterprises is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
00:25:24You 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!
00:25:32Oh, no!
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:35No, you're fucking fucked!
00:25:37You apologize to Julian right now!
00:25:38Get on your knees!
00:25:40Dad!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:43Damien!
00:25:44Dad, stop!
00:25:45Damien has only ever stood up for me!
00:25:47He is the only one who actually cares about me and I won't let you treat him like this!
00:25:51Stay out of the way!
00:25:52No!
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!
00:26:07And today, that is exactly what you look like to me!
00:26:10Serena, that is enough!
00:26:11Wait, you 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 hundred thousand dollar wash!
00:26:25Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:27Oh, 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,
00:26:47I'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.
00:27:07Is he still your fiancé?
00:27:09Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:13I just...
00:27:14I can't stand him.
00:27:15A spoiled heir who thinks the world revolves around him?
00:27:21So what if I did?
00:27:23Who 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?
00:27:58I mean, I'm laughing at just how foolish you are.
00:28:01Do you know why, for the past six months,
00:28:04all 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?
00:28:14Because Damien is brilliant.
00:28:16Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way.
00:28:18Damien?
00:28:19Brilliant?
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.
00:28:43Eyes up, Serena.
00:28:44In 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,
00:28:51I made you Wall Street's business queen.
00:28:53That's Iron Gate,
00:28:54North Bridge,
00:28:55and even Silver Line.
00:28:57Those are all the top 50 global giants.
00:28:58They all been begging us behind the scenes?
00:29:01No wonder every project went so smoothly.
00:29:03Julian's the one with this kind of network.
00:29:05Damien's got some nerve
00:29:06stealing credit for something like this.
00:29:08That's a death wish.
00:29:12No, no, no.
00:29:14It's not true, huh?
00:29:15Harper Enterprise is what it is
00:29:16because of me
00:29:17and my hard work
00:29:18and my connections.
00:29:19You arrogant fool.
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here
00:29:24and steal credit from everything?
00:29:32All right, that's enough.
00:29:34I finally got the all clear for my grandfather.
00:29:36I can go home.
00:29:38So as of right now,
00:29:39our engagement is terminated.
00:29:41Julian,
00:29:42all of this has been our fault.
00:29:44But the engagement...
00:29:45Let him go.
00:29:46I don't need a fiance
00:29:47who uses his family background
00:29:49to wreck people.
00:29:52Without my connections
00:29:54and my network,
00:29:55Harper Enterprise's stock
00:29:56is going to keep falling.
00:29:57It's going to go right back
00:29:59to where it was six months ago.
00:30:01What?
00:30:02What?
00:30:04Prepare yourselves.
00:30:06Julian.
00:30:07Julian.
00:30:08Julian.
00:30:08Julian.
00:30:11Serena.
00:30:13You silly, foolish, foolish girl.
00:30:16Grandpa,
00:30:17I have never been clearer.
00:30:19With or without him,
00:30:20I will lead Harper Enterprise
00:30:21back to the top.
00:30:22Serena's right.
00:30:24Mr. Harper,
00:30:24Chairman Harper,
00:30:25I'm going to stand by Serena's side
00:30:27and I'm going to give her
00:30:27everything that I've got.
00:30:29Crap.
00:30:30I'm going to beat the crap
00:30:31out of you once and for all.
00:30:33Dad, that is enough.
00:30:36Dad?
00:30:37Grandpa?
00:30:38I know you have your issues
00:30:40with Damien,
00:30:40but I believe
00:30:42he will prove himself to you
00:30:43and so will I.
00:30:46I will show everyone here
00:30:48that what Harper achieved
00:30:49over the past six months
00:30:50was my work.
00:30:51It has nothing
00:30:52to do with Julian.
00:30:55This meeting is over.
00:30:57Serena, wait up!
00:30:59Dude!
00:31:00God!
00:31:01Tell me what to do
00:31:02with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:08Serena!
00:31:08Serena!
00:31:09Don't even worry about that.
00:31:11I know our Enterprise
00:31:12took a huge hit today,
00:31:13but as long as we lock down
00:31:14Amber Group's
00:31:14Crescent Lake project,
00:31:16change the game,
00:31:16and everyone will still think
00:31:18that we're in control.
00:31:19Easy.
00:31:20The $3 billion
00:31:21Crescent Lake project.
00:31:24If we can win that contract,
00:31:26we can wipe all the problems
00:31:27we've been facing.
00:31:29Damien,
00:31:30you've secured
00:31:30several of Amber Group's
00:31:32projects before,
00:31:33and I'm going to put this one
00:31:34in your hands too.
00:31:35It's not going to be a problem,
00:31:36right?
00:31:37No, no, absolutely.
00:31:37You can count on me.
00:31:39Amber Group's
00:31:40deputy VP of projects.
00:31:41I mean,
00:31:41he trusts me clearly.
00:31:44He has his business eyes.
00:31:52Get the Crescent Lake contract ready.
00:31:54Same as always.
00:31:56Once the Harper team arrives,
00:31:57we hand it straight to them.
00:31:59Miss Lawson,
00:31:59we just got an update.
00:32:01Julian Clark has been kicked
00:32:02out of Harper Enterprise.
00:32:03The engagement is off.
00:32:04Serena fired him
00:32:05and ended it.
00:32:08Are you sure?
00:32:10Absolutely.
00:32:11Word is she listened
00:32:13to her assistant Damien
00:32:13who really stirred the pot
00:32:14and then Serena
00:32:15personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:17Serena really thinks
00:32:18she got where she is
00:32:19because of Damien?
00:32:20That for your little lap dog?
00:32:22Then,
00:32:23do we still hand
00:32:24the Crescent Lake project
00:32:25over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:27Without Julian,
00:32:28Harper Enterprise
00:32:29really thinks
00:32:29it's worthy of Crescent Lake?
00:32:31Not a chance.
00:32:33Open it to public bidding.
00:32:34Yes, ma'am.
00:32:43Now that is
00:32:44an amazing shot,
00:32:45Mr. Brooks.
00:32:45Damien,
00:32:47Crescent Lake's
00:32:47public bid
00:32:48is coming up soon.
00:32:49How's Harper Enterprise
00:32:51looking?
00:33:05Damien?
00:33:06What does this mean, huh?
00:33:08Mr. Brooks,
00:33:09why don't you
00:33:09do yourself a favor
00:33:09and take a closer look?
00:33:13That's one million
00:33:14in clean crypto.
00:33:16Untraceable.
00:33:17Harper Enterprise
00:33:18is totally prepared
00:33:19to take on Crescent Lake.
00:33:22We just need you
00:33:23to give us
00:33:24a little extra attention.
00:33:26Oh my, Damien.
00:33:27You're too kind.
00:33:29Sure,
00:33:30it's a public bidding
00:33:31on paper,
00:33:32but as long as I'm here,
00:33:34you've got nothing
00:33:35to worry about.
00:33:37Sit tight.
00:33:39Contract's yours.
00:33:42Miss Larson
00:33:43usually hands
00:33:43Harper Enterprises
00:33:44whatever they want anyway.
00:33:46Well,
00:33:48thank you very much,
00:33:49Mr. Brooks.
00:34:16Well, uh,
00:34:19Prince Julian,
00:34:22All right, Serena kicked you out. Six months of hard work, down the drain. What does that feel?
00:34:30Oh, I see. So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit. Is that right?
00:34:35Of course.
00:34:37Not.
00:34:40I'm here to steal you.
00:34:41You see, since your engagement is off, I was thinking, how about you consider me, huh?
00:34:54Guys like us, we don't get to escape alliances.
00:34:57Our families will bear us off either way, so why make a stranger when there's someone who actually knows you?
00:35:07You see? Childhood friends, same circles, 15 years of school. We match, you know? We fit.
00:35:22Hang on. Nora, are you saying this because you're drunk, or do you...
00:35:26Shh.
00:35:34I'm not drunk, okay? You don't have to answer me tonight, just think about it.
00:35:40Hmm?
00:35:47You're done.
00:36:11I told you I'm not drunk.
00:36:13All right.
00:36:14This one should come off.
00:36:16Oh, shit.
00:36:17I'm drunk.
00:36:19You all right?
00:36:20Your swimsuit come off.
00:36:22Oh, shit.
00:36:23I'm drunk.
00:36:39Miss Lawson, Amber Group's distinguished CEO, allow me the pleasure of introducing myself.
00:36:46Oh, I am so sorry.
00:36:48Bad timing.
00:36:49Truly terrible timing.
00:36:59Don't move.
00:37:00If that jacket slips for you in a second, you're finished.
00:37:03Aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:06Amber Group's CEO get caught in the scandal at a pool party?
00:37:09Rumor to move to my company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breasts
00:37:14go through.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:17Okay.
00:37:17Okay.
00:37:20But if you stay through to me like this for the rest of the night, I think my heart's
00:37:28going to sink on its chest.
00:37:41And suffer.
00:37:43Okay?
00:37:44If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:53Please, just walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:11Speak of the devil of all good times.
00:38:19No, this is a private party for Amber Group's CEO.
00:38:22You know what I lost?
00:38:24Not exactly the kind of place where anybody could just wander into.
00:38:27Oh, wait.
00:38:30Oh, well, well.
00:38:32I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:36Feelings for Serena weren't that deep after all.
00:38:39Can I help you with something?
00:38:42Seriously?
00:38:43This woman's even better than Serena.
00:38:45How does a loser like Julian always get women?
00:38:47I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:38:49Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here, she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:38:56Pouring herself out like this?
00:38:59It's me all take her hair.
00:39:00Is that so?
00:39:02Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Christmas project.
00:39:09What, you're bidding too?
00:39:11Yeah, I know you got connection and that's great, you know.
00:39:13But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:16Me, I got real talent, alright?
00:39:17And I'm gonna win Crescent Lake for Serena.
00:39:20You, you're just gonna fucking lose like you lose everything else.
00:39:24Good luck.
00:39:36See that?
00:39:38That is a shameless whore.
00:39:40That woman seems familiar.
00:39:43Samantha, you don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:46Alright, come on. Let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:39:48Let's go socialize and maybe we'll run into the host of the party lost in herself.
00:39:53And if we do, I'll make sure we need to go to brush.
00:40:14So that pretty boy Damien actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:19Tonight we're gonna see who's really on top.
00:40:22Okay. Manners, this is a public event.
00:40:25What?
00:40:27You've known me since we were kids. Why would I pretend around you?
00:40:31But, if you like glasses, I can do glasses.
00:40:35Oh, can you?
00:40:36Yeah.
00:40:36You can do glasses?
00:40:37Yeah.
00:40:38Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:46I'll let you get to it.
00:40:51Shall we?
00:41:08Julian.
00:41:11I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:13You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:17You know what?
00:41:19Mason Brooks, Amber Group's Deputy VP of Projects,
00:41:22already agreed to award the contract to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:27You can't win.
00:41:31I hear the Crescent Lake Project is basically yours.
00:41:34Congratulations.
00:41:36Serena, you are the business queen of Wall Street.
00:41:39And with Damien backing you up, it's unstoppable.
00:41:41When the two of you take off, don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:44Of course.
00:41:45You know, we're gonna take care of you guys.
00:41:46Thank you so much.
00:41:54See that, Julian?
00:41:56Everybody already knows that Crescent Lake belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:59I suggest you walk out of here before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:42:02It's funny.
00:42:04You see, my Clark Group has deeper capital, better tech,
00:42:07and a stronger global record than Harper Enterprise,
00:42:10so I'm just curious, why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:14He recognizes Damien's talent, of course.
00:42:21I need to take this.
00:42:29Hi, Julian.
00:42:32What century are you living in?
00:42:35You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:38Then what does?
00:42:40I ain't really that fucking stupid.
00:42:42Of course this.
00:42:45I paid Mason Brooks one million in crypto.
00:42:48What do you have that's gonna be that?
00:42:52You paid Mason Brooks?
00:42:54That's impossible.
00:42:55He wouldn't dare.
00:42:56That's impossible.
00:42:57He wouldn't dare.
00:42:58Yeah, you wanna understand the rules up top there, sweetheart.
00:43:02But hey, you're a very lovely, beautiful escort.
00:43:05Why don't you do us all a favor, get up on that stage,
00:43:07and give us a nice little poll show.
00:43:10Hey.
00:43:10Hey, I'm gonna tell you.
00:43:12You wanna know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:16Because every time, I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune.
00:43:21Capital technology.
00:43:24It's useless.
00:43:25Fucking trash!
00:43:28Mason Brooks, you've got a lot in there.
00:43:30He's finished.
00:43:32Mr. Brooks is finished.
00:43:34Who the fuck is this?
00:43:36Who are you?
00:43:37What do you think?
00:43:38You're the Amber Group CEO or something?
00:43:41Who gave you the fucking guts?
00:43:43It's adorable, no?
00:43:44Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:43:48Anti-anti-corruption?
00:44:02What are you gonna report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:04Hmm?
00:44:07You hit me.
00:44:09You think you'd put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:12I can have Mason Brooks crush you with one phone call.
00:44:17There he is, Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:19You're finished.
00:44:22Mr. Brooks.
00:44:23What do you mean my friend?
00:44:25There's a woman here.
00:44:26Says she's gonna report to you.
00:44:27Come on, please, teach her a lesson.
00:44:28Oh, report me?
00:44:30Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:32This woman right here.
00:44:36Miss...
00:44:36Loss?
00:44:37She's even...
00:44:37She's even quoted the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:40Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:42What?
00:44:43What?
00:44:44This...
00:44:45This...
00:44:46This...
00:44:47This can't be...
00:44:50Go ahead.
00:44:50Laugh.
00:44:51Laugh some more.
00:44:52Are you insane, Damien?
00:44:54You'll say anything out loud.
00:44:56Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:44:57She's just some golden whore.
00:44:58I mean, even if she rats you out, who's gonna believe this?
00:45:02Why are you beating me?
00:45:03Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:05When did I ever take your money?
00:45:07I never took one cent.
00:45:09Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:12Idiot!
00:45:12Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:15This Lawson, this...
00:45:16This Damien...
00:45:17He's a lunatic.
00:45:18He's making things up.
00:45:20Don't listen to him.
00:45:21I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:24Not once!
00:45:27Miss Lawson?
00:45:30No, no, no, wait.
00:45:32You're Nora Lawson?
00:45:33Amber's group CEO?
00:45:34That...
00:45:35How is that possible?
00:45:36How is that fucking...
00:45:36Mr. Brooks?
00:45:38Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:40Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:44We promise we won't let you down.
00:45:48Stop!
00:45:49Shut the fuck up!
00:45:50When did I ever give you anything?
00:45:54Miss Lawson?
00:45:55These Harper Enterprise people, they're all out of their minds.
00:45:59They lie like the wind.
00:46:01I can't believe a word they say.
00:46:03Miss Lawson?
00:46:06Miss Lawson?
00:46:08She's Nora Lawson?
00:46:12The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:14Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:16You can leave now.
00:46:20Miss Lawson, I am so sorry.
00:46:23Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being inappropriate.
00:46:30But I'll make him apologize.
00:46:32Right now.
00:46:33He is blunt.
00:46:34Yes.
00:46:35But his ability is exceptional.
00:46:39Please.
00:46:40Give Harper Enterprise the contract and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:46:46Exceptional ability?
00:46:47Are you sure about that?
00:46:49Of course.
00:46:50If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:46:55You're about to find out.
00:47:02Damien?
00:47:05What does she mean?
00:47:06Oh, shit.
00:47:08I can't let her find out I secured every project right.
00:47:11So she's upset because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:13So she wants revenge.
00:47:15So she's going to embarrass Harper Enterprise in front of everyone.
00:47:18So what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:20Let's go.
00:47:21If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:26Even if Miss Lawson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:30Serena, please!
00:47:30I'm sorry.
00:47:33There we go now.
00:47:34Alright, I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones, but we need to go now.
00:47:37Come on!

00:52:11for six months harper enterprise got everything it wanted from ember group for one reason julian
00:52:22clark damien has nothing to do with that he was just a messenger boy who picked up the contracts
00:52:29what when julian was there bribe or no bribe harper enterprise got the deals anyway but now julian's
00:52:39gone so the special treatment is gone damien's little arriving incident it was just a convenient excuse
00:52:46to take everything back understand now
00:52:52and about those flawless projects harper enterprise didn't run smoothly because damien is brilliant
00:52:59it ran smoothly because julian called every partner every supplier every gatekeeper and cleared the path for you
00:53:09damien had nothing to do with that
00:53:13no
00:53:15that's not true i i don't believe it you don't believe me
00:53:18then watch watch what happens when julian leaves
00:53:24let's see if your exceptional damien can keep everything perfect
00:53:28when julian is not there to hold the world together for you
00:53:33come on let's go
00:53:42julian is what she's saying true
00:53:45you were right about one thing serena julian and i are closer than you thought
00:53:50that's why it disgusted me watching him waste his life away on a selfish and blind woman like you
00:54:01was i wrong no no no serena do not listen to her nonsense harper's success is based off of my
00:54:08hard

01:01:34Thank God you came and you had like-
01:01:36We are not that close.
01:01:40I was just passing through.

01:01:44You.
01:01:44Wait.
01:01:45I want you to call the Harper family.
01:01:47Tell them to come pick her up.

01:02:11Serena.
01:02:13I told you over and over and over again that Damien was not a good man.
01:02:22And you refused to listen.
01:02:24Julian.
01:02:26And Julian.
01:02:27If Julian doesn't come along, just at the right time.
01:02:31Oh my God.
01:02:32I can't even...
01:02:34I can't even think about it.
01:02:35If you don't do something about that stubborn pride of yours, one day, you will live to regret it.
01:02:41Dad.
01:02:42Grandpa.
01:02:42Please.
01:02:43Stop.
01:02:44I know I was wrong.
01:02:45Okay.
01:02:46I'll...
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.
01:03:00Grandpa.
01:03:02Don't worry.
01:03:04I...
01:03:05I will apologize properly and I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:10That's all we can do.
01:03:13So, John, put out a city-wide bolo on that bastard Damien.
01:03:20He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:23We're not letting that go.
01:03:25No.
01:03:26We'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.
01:04:15Amber group backs you up.
01:04:17No questions asked.
01:04:18But first, you have to accept the gift properly.
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've, you know,
01:04:44pounced me by now.
01:04:46Don't tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:50Hung up?
01:04:52You're not going to be hung up on Serena.
01:04:54She and I were never romantic.
01:04:56No, it's just a business marriage between two families.
01:05:00Things are moving too fast.
01:05:03You 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.
01:05:14Perfect match they can show off at Wallace.
01:05:16Wait.
01:05:17What 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 me permanently.
01:05:26But I don't want a stranger.
01:05:27I want you.
01:05:28I love you.
01:05:31Julian.
01:05:33Let'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 take-backs.
01:06:03No take-backs.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:05Ever.
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.
01:06:47You know, because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:06:49Of course I remember them.
01:06:51You know, when someone wraps themselves as a gift, kind of, you kind of remember that for the rest of
01:06:56your 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.
01:07:15Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:16I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:17I misjudged everything.
01:07:19Please.
01:07:20Just 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.
01:07:27I'll do anything.
01:07:27I'm sorry.
01:07:28I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:33Boyfriend?
01:07:39Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:07:43Well, Julian hates them too.
01:07:45And yet you stayed at Harper Enterprise for six full months.
01:07:49He asked you out 37 times.
01:07:52So tell me, what exactly are you proud of?
01:07:57Men 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.
01:08:09If you don't, I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:14Come on.
01:08:16We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:18Let's not be late.
01:08:20Wedding outfits.
01:08:23Let's go.
01:08:28Hmm-hmm.
01:08:37So how did it go?
01:08:39Julian?
01:08:41He's with Nora.
01:08:42Oh, God.
01:08:46Nora.
01:08:47Nora.
01:08:48Nora Lawson.
01:08:49CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:51Of course.
01:08:52You know Serena.
01:08:53with an elite like Julian.
01:08:56The second you let go,
01:08:58somebody 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.
01:09:09Please.
01:09:12Ms. Hopper,
01:09:13finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:15Hopper Enterprise's cash flow
01:09:17has collapsed.
01:09:18If we don't act immediately,
01:09:20we won't even have enough
01:09:21to make payroll this month.
01:09:24Great.
01:09:26Now all of Wall Street knows
01:09:27that we crossed Julian.
01:09:29That was 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
01:09:40I was some business queen.
01:09:43I didn't realize that
01:09:45Julian was running everything,
01:09:47and the moment he's gone,
01:09:48I can't do anything.
01:09:51Dad, Grandpa,
01:09:54I'm so sorry.
01:09:56I ruined Harpers Enterprise.
01:09:58I ruined everything.
01:10:00Dad, you're the one
01:10:02who arranged the engagement
01:10:03with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:05So maybe you should go talk to him
01:10:07and 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, they 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
01:10:36and for your future
01:10:37and for our future,
01:10:39we'll fight.
01:10:46Serena,
01:10:48when you see Julian's grandfather,
01:10:51your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:55If he forgives you,
01:10:57only then will you know
01:10:59that you have a chance
01:11:00to get Julian back.
01:11:02Understood, Grandpa.
01:11:04For the Harper family,
01:11:05I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:22Welcome!
01:11:24You must be here
01:11:25for Mr. Clark
01:11:26and Ms. Lawson's
01:11:27engagement party.
01:11:28Perfect timing.
01:11:30They're just about to start.
01:11:32Engagement party?
01:11:34So they're really engaged?
01:11:36Wait, how is this
01:11:38all happening so fast?
01:11:40What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:43Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson
01:11:44have known each other
01:11:45since they were born
01:11:46and everyone is so happy
01:11:48that they're finally getting married.
01:11:50Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:51Get in and come here
01:11:53to congratulate them, right?
01:11:56Then please leave.
01:11:58Otherwise,
01:11:59I will have to call security.
01:12:05If there's an engagement party,
01:12:07that means Julian's grandfather
01:12:10has already approved
01:12:11of an engagement.
01:12:14And that means
01:12:15we're done.
01:12:17There's no more chances left.
01:12:19We're leaving.
01:12:20Is this my punishment?
01:12:25All right, everyone.
01:12:27Big smiles.
01:12:44Julian, are you okay?
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
01:13:15with everything.
01:13:18For him,
01:13:20at six months
01:13:21at Harper Enterprise,
01:13:23it was a total humiliation.
01:13:26We've shown the Harpers
01:13:27more mercy
01:13:28than 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
01:13:46is 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.
01:13:56I'm the fucking idiot
01:13:57who ruined everything.
01:13:58I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:13:59No, you...
01:14:02All right,
01:14:03I'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.
01:14:18Mora.
01:14:21Okay, Mora.
01:14:21Be honest.
01:14:23You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:26You just got engaged,
01:14:27and you're getting married
01:14:28next week?
01:14:30Let's see.
01:14:31You've known Julian
01:14:32for 20-plus years.
01:14:34You couldn't wait
01:14:35a couple more months?
01:14:36I've liked Julian
01:14:37for 20 years,
01:14:38and I finally got him
01:14:40to say yes.
01:14:41You think I'm not gonna
01:14:42lock it down now?
01:14:42Lock it down from what?
01:14:44From Harper Enterprise,
01:14:45of course.
01:14:46They're collapsing
01:14:47and treating Julian
01:14:48like a lifeboat.
01:14:50I have to move fast.
01:14:52If they start begging,
01:14:55what if Julian hesitates?
01:14:58But Julian and Serena
01:14:59were 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
01:15:08at Harper Enterprise
01:15:09for six months,
01:15:11and it wasn't just
01:15:12because his grandfather
01:15:13were ordering.
01:15:13Then why?
01:15:16Because Serena
01:15:19is his type.
01:15:21Wait, what?
01:15:24I am Julian's type?
01:15:28No way!
01:15:29I'm serious.
01:15:31The girls Julian
01:15:32liked growing up?
01:15:33That exact time.
01:15:35I mean,
01:15:36with his personality,
01:15:38even if his grandfather
01:15:40forced him,
01:15:40he would have stayed there
01:15:41for three days max
01:15:42and then vanished.
01:15:43He would not
01:15:44stay there
01:15:45and take six months
01:15:47of humiliation
01:15:48if he didn't want it to.
01:15:49That's Julian Clark.
01:15:51So that's why?
01:15:53Serena must have
01:15:54destroyed him.
01:15:55I have to get married
01:15:57fast.
01:15:58I cannot give her
01:15:59a single chance.
01:16:01So that's what it was.
01:16:02Julian stayed
01:16:03at Harper Enterprise
01:16:04for six months
01:16:05because I'm his type.
01:16:06He likes me.
01:16:08That means
01:16:08I still have a chance.
01:16:10I still have a chance.
01:16:12This is my last shot.
01:16:14I am not wasting it.
01:16:22Where is she?
01:16:29Ladies and gentlemen,
01:16:30let's welcome
01:16:31the beautiful bride.
01:16:32the beautiful bride.
01:16:45Wow.
01:16:47They look perfect
01:16:48together.
01:16:49They're childhood
01:16:49sweethearts.
01:16:50The whole fantasy.
01:16:51Oh my God.
01:16:52Brilliant.
01:16:54And now
01:16:55for the exchange
01:16:56of rings.
01:17:09Wait!
01:17:16Serena,
01:17:16what are you doing here?
01:17:19Who is that?
01:17:21Is that Serena Harper?
01:17:22CEO of Harper Enterprise?
01:17:24You mean the woman
01:17:25who rode on Julian's
01:17:26back to the IPO
01:17:27and then kicked him out
01:17:28like he was nothing?
01:17:30Without Julian,
01:17:31Harper Enterprise
01:17:31is basically bankrupt.
01:17:33Pathetic.
01:17:34Wait!
01:17:36Serena,
01:17:36what are you doing here?
01:17:40Julian,
01:17:42I know you like me.
01:17:44You wouldn't have
01:17:45stayed at Harper Enterprise
01:17:46for six months
01:17:46humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:51I know you like me.
01:17:52I know.
01:17:54I was wrong.
01:17:55Totally wrong.
01:17:55Okay?
01:17:56Just please.
01:17:58Give me another chance.
01:18:02Our engagement
01:18:03is over.
01:18:04In fact,
01:18:05you were the one
01:18:05that called it off.
01:18:07Look,
01:18:08this is my wedding.
01:18:09Have some dignity.
01:18:10In fact,
01:18:11can we get her out of here?
01:18:11Please?
01:18:12No, please.
01:18:13I'll do anything.
01:18:15Just...
01:18:16Stop.
01:18:20I know
01:18:21you hate me
01:18:22because
01:18:23I rejected you
01:18:2437 times,
01:18:26but
01:18:26I'll make it up to you.
01:18:28I'll chase you
01:18:2937 times,
01:18:30370 times,
01:18:32whatever it did.
01:18:33Can we please
01:18:34get her out?
01:18:35No, don't touch me!
01:18:37Julian,
01:18:38what do you want from me?
01:18:39I know you like me,
01:18:40so why won't you
01:18:41give me another chance?
01:18:42Why?
01:18:43Why?
01:18:44Why?
01:18:45Why?
01:18:48Simple question.
01:18:49Do you love me?
01:18:53I...
01:18:54Exactly.
01:18:54You don't.
01:18:56You didn't realize
01:18:57you made a mistake.
01:18:58You realized
01:18:58that Harper Enterprise
01:18:59is dying.
01:19:01See,
01:19:01what you want
01:19:02is not a chance,
01:19:03but a tool.
01:19:05You want me back
01:19:05so you can be
01:19:06Wall Street's
01:19:06business queen again,
01:19:07huh?
01:19:09No,
01:19:10that,
01:19:10that,
01:19:11that's not true.
01:19:13Just please,
01:19:15listen,
01:19:16please,
01:19:16listen.
01:19:17Serena,
01:19:18when you threw me
01:19:19out of Harper Enterprise,
01:19:19do you remember
01:19:20how cold and arrogant
01:19:21you were?
01:19:23Let me ask you this.
01:19:25If Harper Enterprise
01:19:26had not collapsed,
01:19:27if your value
01:19:27kept climbing,
01:19:29would you still be here
01:19:30standing in front
01:19:30of me today?
01:19:33I...
01:19:34No,
01:19:35no,
01:19:35you wouldn't.
01:19:36You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:37You'd be celebrating.
01:19:39You'd say that you
01:19:39earned the business
01:19:40queen crown.
01:19:41You'd be mocking me,
01:19:42calling me pathetic.
01:19:44You'd say that
01:19:44firing me was the best
01:19:45decision you ever made.
01:19:46Plus,
01:19:47you'd still be with
01:19:47that asshole Damien.
01:19:49No.
01:19:51No,
01:19:51Serena,
01:19:52that's not me.
01:19:54Just admit it,
01:19:55Serena.
01:19:56You don't feel
01:19:57anything for me.
01:19:58But on my wedding day,
01:19:59you show up like
01:20:00some tragic,
01:20:00devoted lover.
01:20:01Why?
01:20:02Because you want me
01:20:03back as your lifeline,
01:20:04your donor,
01:20:05your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:08But the moment I stop
01:20:09being useful,
01:20:10you will kick me away
01:20:11again without a moment's
01:20:11hesitation.
01:20:13No.
01:20:15No,
01:20:15Julian.
01:20:17That is not true
01:20:18the night
01:20:18that you saved me
01:20:20from Damien.
01:20:22I...
01:20:23I felt something
01:20:24for you.
01:20:25I did.
01:20:26Stop.
01:20:26Do not perform
01:20:27at my wedding.
01:20:29You don't regret
01:20:30hurting me.
01:20:30You regret
01:20:31choosing the wrong man.
01:20:33You regret that
01:20:33Harper Enterprise
01:20:34is dying.
01:20:35You know,
01:20:36I'll admit,
01:20:37when I met you,
01:20:38you were exactly
01:20:39my type.
01:20:41But once I got
01:20:42to know you,
01:20:43once I realized
01:20:44what you really are,
01:20:45all I felt
01:20:46was disgust.
01:20:49But Nora,
01:20:52she has cared for me
01:20:53since we were kids.
01:20:57When 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,
01:21:09she still supported me.
01:21:10She still took hits
01:21:11from me.
01:21:15So,
01:21:16let 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, no.
01:21:31No, please don't.
01:21:32Julian,
01:21:33don't, don'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.
01:21:43Crashing a wedding
01:21:43like that?
01:21:44I thought she actually
01:21:45loved him.
01:21:46Turns out,
01:21:47she just realized
01:21:48without 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
01:21:54and dry.
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.
01:22:52What?
01:22:54Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:22:56I've given this company 15 years.
01:22:59You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:23:0115 years?
01:23:02Wow.
01:23:03Congratulations.
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.
01:23:17Bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud.
01:23:24Everyone beat 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.
01:23:35This, this is it.
01:23:53Are you satisfied now?
01:23:56Satisfied?
01:23:58Thomas went to my grandfather.
01:24:00He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:24:04I saved you.
01:24:08Julian!
01:24:11If I didn't treat you the way I did, would any of this be different?
01:24:24Julian, why did 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?
01:24:46Yo, take him to the police.
01:24:47Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:49I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:50Fucking coward!
01:24:51You'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?!
01:25:03Hey, Julian.
01:25:04What was that?
01:25:06Just staking out the trash.
01:25:09Are you done here?
01:25:11No.
01:25:12Let's go.
01:25:19I was wrong!
01:25:22Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:24I was wrong!
01:25:25Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:27I was wrong!
01:25:27I let you know!
