00:00:03Breaking 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 ARC's valuation.
00:00:23I need you to buy the stock, alright?
00:00:28This isn't some random dip. Whoever's shorting us came prepared. They're tearing us apart.
00:00:32We can't hold the line. We're about to become the laughingstock of Wall Street.
00:00:36No, no, we're not finished. We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:43The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:48Julian, we need you. Again.
00:00:51Shit.
00:00:52We need your help.
00:00:53Give me a sec.
00:01:01Hey, 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?
00:01:31Julian, what would Harper do without you?
00:01:34Julian, Damien's assistant called. Called in all hands. All department leads. Conference room in ten minutes. Chairman's orders.
00:01:41Why would Damien call in the meeting? He despises you. Watch your back.
00:02:13I need for that and until the zoom is going on 24-hour-based critics.
00:02:16neutralized 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 this 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 this 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, the least that every single one of you
00:02:55can 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, the company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
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 strategies, 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.
00:03:57Uh, which firms did you guys recruit as white knights?
00:03:59And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:03Whoa.
00:04:04Whoa.
00:04:05Whoa.
00:04:07Whoa.
00:04:08Whoa.
00:04:09Well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:11Alright.
00:04:12So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room, the countermeasures
00:04:16for a potential proxy fight, or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers?
00:04:23Let's be real.
00:04:25You are nothing but a glory hound who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees the real.
00:04:40You, a useless, game-addicted fucking loser, dare to question me?
00:04:44You know what, Clark?
00:04:46You're fucking fired!
00:04:47Now 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, 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 three trillion dollars.
00:05:21You proved everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:23Now, 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.
00:05:38Our 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-
00:05:47Enough!
00:05:47Oh, that's it.
00:05:49You're going to do this.
00:05:51I've already arranged everything.
00:05:52You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:55Go work with Serena.
00:05:57And date her properly, hmm?
00:06:02You'll refuse.
00:06:04Okay.
00:06:05Nurse, Dr. Ann, check it out.
00:06:07My own grandson won't listen.
00:06:09What's the point?
00:06:09Okay.
00:06:10Let the heart attack take me now.
00:06:11Okay, all right.
00:06:12I'll go.
00:06:14I know what I've been asking.
00:06:17For years, you've carried this family on your back.
00:06:21We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:23The Harper's, they're in trouble.
00:06:25We do not abandon our own.
00:06:29Use that brilliant head of yours 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
00:06:52to help her.
00:06:53I pulled Harper Enterprise from the brink of bankruptcy and made it soar.
00:06:56I made Serena Harper, the queen of this city's business world.
00:06:59And 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.
00:07:16So...
00:07:16Pathetic.
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 gonna call security and I'm gonna 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 wanna 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 is because of your
00:08:04dusty 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 fiancé is telling you to get lost.
00:08:16So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost before I fucking report?
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.
00:08:38Maybe work on your course rate.
00:08:40Julian, that is enough.
00:08:42Disrupting proceedings.
00:08:43Assault.
00:08:44Destruction of property.
00:08:46As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:49Effective immediately.
00:08:51Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:53Serena, you broke my watch.
00:08:54The gift you got me for my birthday.
00:08:56He has to pay for it.
00:08:57Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:08:59Either pay up, or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:05Fine.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:08Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:10What one hundred thousand dollars?
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.
00:09:17A million dollars being generous.
00:09:18You could fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:20A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:23He does have a point card.
00:09:24Well, you break it, you buy it.
00:09:26That's the rule.
00:09:27Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:35Well, you gonna wire me the money?
00:09:38Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:40And if so, you can crawl out of here, and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:46So what if you're Serena's Beyonce?
00:09:49Look at her now.
00:09:50She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:54A million dollars.
00:09:55What'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.
00:10:23You 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.
00:10:33But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:37We are done.
00:10:39You sure?
00:10:40Whoa, whoa.
00:10:40You heard that, Julian?
00:10:42Your engagement's over.
00:10:43Now get out before I-
00:10:44Bro, get your hands off me!
00:10:49Put your fucking hands on me.
00:10:51You know what?
00:10:52I'm gonna wipe that smug fucking look off your face!
00:10:58Enough!
00:11:03Mr. Roof.
00:11:07That's David Brooks.
00:11:08President of Harvey View Bank.
00:11:09What's a Wall Street Titan doing on a conference?
00:11:12Do you think it has to do with a hundred million loan?
00:11:13It 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.
00:11:42What?
00:11:46Mr. Brooks.
00:11:47Personally delivering cash?
00:11:49To Julian?
00:11:50Wait, the money is...
00:11:52It's real?
00:11:52Wait.
00:11:54Delivered by Mr. Brooks.
00:11:55I mean...
00:11:56Wait.
00:11:56Who are you?
00:12:00Much appreciated.
00:12:01You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:09Mr. Brooks.
00:12:10Sir.
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 you sometime.
00:12:20Mr. Clark, is there anything else you require?
00:12:24My resources are available.
00:12:25You dispose them.
00:12:26No.
00:12:27You can go now.
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.
00:12:49Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:53Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:54Let's see him explain this to the chairman.
00:12:56The chairman will have his head.
00:12:59This is all your fault, alright?
00:13:01You gotta fix this.
00:13:02You call him back here and get that loan reinstated or I swear I'm gonna...
00:13:04You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:06Wait.
00:13:08As for us...
00:13:11One million.
00:13:12In full.
00:13:13Which makes this watch...
00:13:18It's mine.
00:13:20You 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, you fucking loser.
00:13:36But it's all mine now.
00:13:38Yeah, sure.
00:13:38The debt for the watch is settled.
00:13:40But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:42That useless piece of junk?
00:13:43How much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:45Oh.
00:13:45I 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.
00:13:59A 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?
00:14:15That's conservative.
00:14:16Enough!
00:14:18Julian.
00:14:19You know, I know you think you're right.
00:14:22But a stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars?
00:14:26A hundred million dollars?
00:14:27I...
00:14:29Tremont.
00:14:29Sure.
00:14:30A 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?
00:14:39You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:48Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:50That's Bill Sullivan, SVP for Stellar.
00:14:53Here?
00:14:54You think it's about the three hundred million dollar partnership deal?
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?
00:15:05What an unexpected honor.
00:15:06I'm Sabrina Harper, CEO.
00:15:08What do we owe the...
00:15:10Mr. Clark, the 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 care 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.
00:15:30Mr. Sullivan?
00:15:31Mr. Sullivan, this damage is significant.
00:15:33With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate, this could be $30 million.
00:15:39Mr. No!
00:15:42Mr. 30 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!
00:15:47Are you questioning me?
00:15:49Mr. No, I...
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 just had the critical, critical data corruption here.
00:16:03It's highly confidential files, high market value.
00:16:07I mean, with our declarations, this is at least $70 million.
00:16:13$70 million?
00:16:15Mr. 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 $100 million laptop?
00:16:45Who exactly are you?
00:16:47You don't get to know.
00:16:49In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:51And there's no way that there's a fucking laptop that costs $100 million.
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 a scam and nobody like you.
00:17:07Listen, I have someone.
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 stressed.
00:17:26He didn't mean...
00:17:27Save it.
00:17:28You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:31You, 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.
00:17:55So, let me know, please.
00:18:01Please.
00:18:05Mr. Sullivan, Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation.
00:18:09Will that suffice?
00:18:11I'm just here to certify facts.
00:18:13You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:18Full payment.
00:18:19In my account, within three days.
00:18:23In that case, we're done here.
00:18:25Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else.
00:18:29Mr. Sullivan, are our partners...
00:18:30Ms. Harper, get your house in order first.
00:18:34Stellar has standards.
00:18:35We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:38That'll be all.
00:18:39Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:40Oh, funny.
00:18:42Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:43A hundred million on the line and you swoop in to 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.
00:19:00Julian, I give you my word.
00:19:02The full amount will be paid within three days, but 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?
00:19:14You 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, which one of us should actually get the fuck out?
00:19:35Serena, I think it is actually time to call your grandfather.
00:19:37He could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:42Stop.
00:19:43Stop!
00:19:48This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper.
00:19:51Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:19:55Funny.
00:19:56Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill.
00:19:58Remind me, which one of us is the real boy toy?
00:20:02You.
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, don't make us get physical.
00:20:30I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in.
00:20:32You really want to lay hands on me?
00:20:35Chairman Harper brought you in!
00:20:37Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:40What do you think you are?
00:20:41You think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:43Julian, 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.
00:20:55Looks like I don't need that phone call.
00:20:56Still running your mouth, huh?
00:20:58Move.
00:20:59Get me the fuck out of here.
00:21:00Hey.
00:21:05What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:07Here's my father.
00:21:09Stand down.
00:21:10All of you.
00:21:11You, out of here.
00:21:12Now.
00:21:13Dad, Grandpa, what are you doing here?
00:21:21Julian, I've been filled in on everything that's gone on today.
00:21:26I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:30Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:34Chairman Harper apologizing to Julian?
00:21:38Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:41Chairman Harper, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games.
00:21:45How could you possibly...
00:21:46Shut up!
00:21:54How sweet.
00:21:55How 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.
00:22:02Serena, 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're 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...
00:22:21You can't force something that isn't there.
00:22:23No real feelings.
00:22:24No 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.
00:22:35Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:41Apologize to Julian, now!
00:22:43No!
00:22:43I 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.
00:22:59And I will not apologize to you!
00:23:01Serena, enough!
00:23:03Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:05Let me apologize.
00:23:06Save it.
00:23:07If Serena can't manage an apology herself,
00:23:10then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:15Issue my order.
00:23:16Suspend 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.
00:23:26Look!
00:23:29Whoa!
00:23:30What?
00:23:33What?
00:23:35Oh, I guess you would have just pulled the orders.
00:23:37What do you mean?
00:23:38Hostile takeover.
00:23:39All of our investors pulled out.
00:23:41How can that be?
00:23:46Harper Enterprise stock plunges 30% in minutes,
00:23:49wiping out billions in market value.
00:23:51What?
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,
00:24:01leaving the group facing massive losses.
00:24:03Could it be all these months?
00:24:05The company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:08Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:09Why did Harper Enterprise's 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,
00:24:22I, 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.
00:24:32And 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 it's continuous, the stocks will crash straight through the floor.
00:24:43What did you say?
00:24:45Damn it.
00:24:47How could that trash have such kind of power?
00:24:50Why him?
00:24:50I won't accept this.
00:24:51I won't!
00:24:52Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?
00:24:58Apologize to Julian.
00:25:00No!
00:25:04Serena, apologize.
00:25:07Serena.
00:25:18Serena, do not apologize.
00:25:20Harper Enterprise is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
00:25:23Do you really think we can't survive without him?
00:25:26Let's just get through this crisis,
00:25:27and I swear I will make him pay for everything that he has done to you.
00:25:31Oh, fucking no!
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:35No, you're fucking fucked.
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,
00:25:48and I won't let you treat him like this.
00:25:50Stay out of the way.
00:25:51No!
00:25:53You really gonna go to war with Julian over this snake?
00:25:56Do 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,
00:26:06and today that is exactly what you look like to me.
00:26:10Serena, that is enough.
00:26:11So wait, you hate bullies who throw their weight around, right?
00:26:13What 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 wash.
00:26:24Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:26Oh, I...
00:26:28But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:31Yeah, you're no saint.
00:26:33You're just biased.
00:26:35You know, I've been engaged to you for the past six months.
00:26:38I 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,
00:26:46you said, I'm too busy with work.
00:26:48But that wasn't the truth.
00:26:50The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant.
00:26:53Listen to him sing your praises, right?
00:26:57Who's that?
00:26:59Oh, let me guess.
00:27:00Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:04Just ignore him.
00:27:06Is he still your fiancé?
00:27:09Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:12I 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.
00:27:27I can see whoever I want.
00:27:29Serena, shut up.
00:27:32No, I am not done.
00:27:34Damien has worked himself to the bone.
00:27:36He is driven and disciplined.
00:27:39And when Harper first went public,
00:27:40he 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 you once.
00:27:49But you don't.
00:27:53Damien was a key reason you made it.
00:27:54That'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?
00:28:05Why 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.
00:28:30I 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
00:28:46and cleared a path for you.
00:28:48Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange.
00:28:50And you know,
00:28:50I made you Wall Street's business queen.
00:28:53That's Iron Gate, North Bridge,
00:28:55and 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?
00:29:14Harper Enterprise is what it is
00:29:16because of me and my hard work and my connections.
00:29:19You period fool.
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here
00:29:23and steal credit from everything?
00:29:31All right, that's enough.
00:29:33I finally got the all clear for my grandfather.
00:29:36I can go home.
00:29:37So as of right now,
00:29:38our engagement is terminated.
00:29:40Julian, all of this has been our fault.
00:29:43But the engagement...
00:29:45Let him go.
00:29:45I don't need a fiancé
00:29:47who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:52Without my connections and my network,
00:29:54Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:56and he's going to go right back
00:29:58to where it was six months ago.
00:30:01Wait, wait, wait.
00:30:02What the hell?
00:30:04Prepare yourselves.
00:30:05Julian.
00:30:06Julian.
00:30:07Stop it.
00:30:08Julian.
00:30:11Serena.
00:30:12You 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,
00:30:24I'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?
00:30:36Grandpa?
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
00:30:47that what Harper achieved over the past six months
00:30:49was my work.
00:30:51It has nothing to do with Julian.
00:30:53Julian.
00:30:54This meeting is over.
00:30:56Serena, wait up!
00:30:58You!
00:30:59God!
00:31:00Tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:07Serena!
00:31:08Serena!
00:31:09Don't even worry about that.
00:31:10I know our Enterprise took a huge hit today,
00:31:12but as long as we lock down Amber Group's Crescent Lake project,
00:31:15change the game,
00:31:16and everyone will still think that we're in control.
00:31:18Easy.
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,
00:31:29you've secured several of Amber Group's projects before,
00:31:32and I'm going to put this one in your hands too.
00:31:34It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:36No, no, absolutely.
00:31:37You wouldn't count on me.
00:31:38Amber Group's deputy VP of projects,
00:31:41and he trusts me clearly.
00:31:43He also spit his eyes.
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,
00:31:59we just got an update.
00:32:00Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise.
00:32:02The engagement is off.
00:32:04Serena fired him and ended it.
00:32:07Are 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 because of Damien?
00:32:20That for your little lap dog?
00:32:22Then do we still hand the Crescent Lake project over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:26Without Julian,
00:32:27Harper Enterprise really thinks it'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 and take a closer look?
00:33:12That's one million in clean crypto,
00:33:16untraceable.
00:33:17Harper Enterprise is totally prepared to take on Crescent Lake.
00:33:21We just need you to give us a little extra attention.
00:33:25Oh my, Damien.
00:33:26You're too kind.
00:33:28Sure, it's a public bidding on paper,
00:33:31but as long as I'm here,
00:33:33you'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,
00:34:17well,
00:34:17Uh, right, it's chill to you.
00:34:21All right, Serena kicked you out.
00:34:23Six months of hard work down the drain.
00:34:27What does that feel?
00:34:29Oh, I see.
00:34:30So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit.
00:34:34Is that right?
00:34:35Of course.
00:34:36Not to.
00:34:39I'm here to steal you.
00:34:42You see?
00:34:42Um, since your engagement is off, I was thinking, how about you consider me, huh?
00:34:53Guys like us, we don't get to escape alliances.
00:34:57Our families will bear us off either way, so why pick a stranger when there's someone
00:35:04who actually knows you?
00:35:07You see?
00:35:09Childhood friends, same circles, 15 years of school, we match, you know?
00:35:19We fit.
00:35:21Hang on.
00:35:22Nora, you're, are you saying this because you're drunk or do you...
00:35:25Shh.
00:35:28Shh.
00:35:33I'm not drunk, okay?
00:35:35You don't have to answer me tonight, just think about it.
00:35:40Hmm?
00:35:50I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not
00:35:59drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm
00:36:00not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk,
00:36:00I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not
00:36:00drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm
00:36:00not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk,
00:36:02I'm not drunk, I'm drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm
00:36:10I told you, I'm not drunk.
00:36:13You're alright.
00:36:13Your swimsuit come off.
00:36:15Oh, shit.
00:36:17I'm drunk.
00:36:19You're alright.
00:36:20Your swimsuit come off.
00:36:21Oh, shit.
00:36:22I'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.
00:36:47Bad, bad timing.
00:36:48Truly terrible timing.
00:36:58Don't move.
00:37:00If that jacket slips for you in a second, listen.
00:37:03Okay, aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:05Amber Group's CEO, get caught in a scandal at a pool party?
00:37:08Vermecom goes to my company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breast go through.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:16Okay.
00:37:19But if you stay through to me like this for the rest of the night,
00:37:26I think my heart's going to skip on its chest.
00:37:40And suffer, okay?
00:37:43If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:52Please, just walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:37:58Okay.
00:38:10Speak of the devil, of all good times.
00:38:18Now, this is a private party for Amber Group's CEO.
00:38:21You know what I lost?
00:38:23Not exactly the kind of place where anybody could just wander into.
00:38:26Oh, wait.
00:38:30Well, well.
00:38:31I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:35Feelings for Serena weren't that deep after all.
00:38:39Can I help you with something?
00:38:41Seriously?
00:38:42This woman's even prettier than Serena.
00:38:44How does a loser like Julia always get women?
00:38:47I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:38:48Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here, she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:38:55Pouring herself out like this?
00:38:58It's me all take her.
00:39:00Is that so?
00:39:01Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Crescent Loot Project.
00:39:09What, you're bidding too?
00:39:10Yeah, I know you got connection, and that's great, you know.
00:39:12But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:15Me, I got real talent, all right?
00:39:17And I'm going to win Crescent Lake for Serena.
00:39:19You, you're just going to fucking lose like you lose everything else.
00:39:24Good luck.
00:39:36See that?
00:39:37That is a shameless whore.
00:39:40That woman seems familiar.
00:39:42Samantha, you don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:45All right, come on.
00:39:46Let'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.
00:39:51Well, and if we do, I'll make sure we're a little bit of pressure.
00:40:13So, that pretty boy Damien actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:19Tonight, we're going to see who's really on top.
00:40:21Okay.
00:40:22Manners, this is a public event.
00:40:24What?
00:40:26You've known me since we were kids.
00:40:28Why would I pretend around you?
00:40:30But, if you like glassy, I can do glassy.
00:40:34Oh, can you?
00:40:35Yeah.
00:40:35You can do glassy?
00:40:37Yeah.
00:40:37Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:45I'll let you get to it.
00:40:50Sally?
00:41:07Julie!
00:41:11I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:13You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:16You know what?
00:41:18Mason Brooks, Amber Group's deputy VP of projects, already agreed to award the contract to Harper
00:41:24Enterprise.
00:41:26You can't win.
00:41:31I hear the Crescent Lake project is basically yours.
00:41:34Congratulations.
00:41:35Serena, you are the business queen of Wall Street, and with Damien backing you up, it's
00:41:40unstoppable.
00:41:40When the two of you take off, don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:43Of course.
00:41:44You know, we're going to take care of you guys.
00:41:46Thank you so much.
00:41:54See that, Julian?
00:41:55Everybody 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.
00:42:03You see, my Clark Group has deeper capital, better tech, and a stronger global record than
00:42:08Harper Enterprise, so I'm just curious.
00:42:11Why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:13He recognizes Damien's talent.
00:42:15Of course.
00:42:20I need to take this.
00:42:28Hi, Julian.
00:42:31What century are you living in?
00:42:34You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:37Then what does?
00:42:39I ain't really that fucking stupid.
00:42:41Of course this.
00:42:44I paid Mason Brooks one million in crypto.
00:42:47What do you have that's going to be back?
00:42:51You paid Mason Brooks?
00:42:53That's impossible.
00:42:54He wouldn't dare.
00:42:55That's impossible.
00:42:56He wouldn't dare.
00:42:58Yeah, you want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart.
00:43:01But hey, you're a very lovely, beautiful escort.
00:43:05Why don't you do us all a favor, get up on that stage and give us a nice little poll
00:43:08show.
00:43:08Hey, hey, I'm going to tell you, you want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:15Because every time I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune, capital technology is useless.
00:43:24Fucking trash.
00:43:27Mason 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?
00:43:35Who are you?
00:43:37What do you think?
00:43:37You're the Amber Group CEO or something?
00:43:40Who gave you the fucking guts?
00:43:42It's adorable, no?
00:43:43Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:43:47Anti-anti-corruption?
00:44:01What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:06You hit me.
00:44:08You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:11I'm going to have Mason Brooks crush you with one phone call.
00:44:16There he is.
00:44:17Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:18You're finished.
00:44:21Mr. Brooks.
00:44:22What do you mean my friend?
00:44:24There's a woman here.
00:44:25She says she's going to report to you.
00:44:26Come on, please, teach her a lesson.
00:44:27Oh, report me?
00:44:29Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:31This woman right here.
00:44:35Miss Lawson?
00:44:36She's even quoted the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:39Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:41What?
00:44:42What?
00:44:45This can't be...
00:44:49Go ahead, laugh.
00:44:50Laugh some more.
00:44:51Are you insane, Damien?
00:44:53You'll say anything out loud.
00:44:55Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:44:56She's just some gold-dicking whore.
00:44:57I mean, even if she rats you out, who's going to believe this?
00:45:01Why are you hitting me?
00:45:02Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:04When did I ever take your money?
00:45:06I never took one cent.
00:45:08Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:11Idiot!
00:45:11Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:14Miss Lawson, this Damien, he's a lunatic.
00:45:18He's making things up.
00:45:19Don't listen to him.
00:45:20I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:23Not once!
00:45:27Miss Lawson?
00:45:29No, no, no, wait.
00:45:31You're Norah Lawson?
00:45:32Amber's group CEO?
00:45:34How is that possible?
00:45:35How is that fucking...
00:45:35Mr. Brooks!
00:45:37Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:39Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:43We promise we won't let you down.
00:45:47Stop!
00:45:48Shut the fuck up!
00:45:50When did I ever give you anything?
00:45:53Miss Lawson?
00:45:54These Harper Enterprise people, they're all out of their minds.
00:45:58They lie like the wind.
00:46:00I can't believe a word they say.
00:46:02Miss Lawson?
00:46:05Miss Lawson?
00:46:07She's Norah Lawson?
00:46:11The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:13Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:16You can leave now.
00:46:19Miss Lawson, I am so sorry.
00:46:22Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being inappropriate.
00:46:29But I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:32He is blunt, yes.
00:46:34But his ability is exceptional.
00:46:37Please, give Harper Enterprise the contract, and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:46:45Exceptional ability?
00:46:46Are you sure about that?
00:46:48Of course.
00:46:50If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:46:55You're about to find out.
00:47:02Damien?
00:47:04What does she mean?
00:47:06Oh, shit.
00:47:07I can't let her find out.
00:47:08I screwed every project right.
00:47:10She's upset because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:12So, she wants revenge.
00:47:15So, she's going to embarrass Harper Enterprise in front of everyone.
00:47:17So, what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:19Let's go.
00:47:19Go?
00:47:21If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:25Even if Miss Lawson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:29Serena, please!
00:47:29Okay?
00:47:30I'm sorry.
00:47:32Here we go now.
00:47:33Alright?
00:47:33I'll get you bigger projects, the 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?
00:47:41I...
00:47:53You want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart?
00:47:57Technology capital.
00:47:59Useless fucking trash.
00:48:01What?
00:48:02Shit!
00:48:03She actually recorded it?
00:48:04And escorted.
00:48:06So, why don't you do us all a nice little favor?
00:48:07Get up on that stage.
00:48:08You should give us a nice little poll show.
00:48:13Who is that?
00:48:14He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:17That's Damien Blackwell, Harper Enterprise's executive assistant.
00:48:21How do you not know him?
00:48:22All of the best Amber projects being sent to Harper Enterprise's over the past six months.
00:48:26And now we know they were bought.
00:48:31That's not true.
00:48:32All of that's a lie.
00:48:33Just don't...
00:48:33Just don't...
00:48:34Don't believe it.
00:48:34I...
00:48:34Just turn it off.
00:48:35Turn it off right now!
00:48:36Stop him!
00:48:38Let go of me!
00:48:41Damien, you did this behind my back.
00:48:43This is your talent?
00:48:45Your ability?
00:48:46Yes, I mean, please just...
00:48:48Mr. Brooks is very simple.
00:48:50What a fucking routine listening to Sammy.
00:48:52Who are you to say anything?
00:48:53What do you think?
00:48:54You're Amber Group CEO?
00:48:56Amber...
00:48:57Turn it off.
00:48:59It's okay?
00:49:00Okay.
00:49:00Miss Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:49:02Just...
00:49:02Please stop it!
00:49:03Please!
00:49:04Please!
00:49:05Bribery is one thing, but mistaking Miss Lawson for an escort?
00:49:09A whore?
00:49:11He's fucking blind.
00:49:13The best part?
00:49:14He confessed right in front of her that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:18Genius!
00:49:18And Serena trusted him to be her assistant?
00:49:21I mean, what does that say about her judgment?
00:49:23Damien, you have disappointed me beyond words.
00:49:27Serena, I did it because I cared about you.
00:49:30Because I care about Harper Enterprise.
00:49:31Please, I'm...
00:49:32Can you tell me the truth?
00:49:33Enough.
00:49:35Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:37Mason Brooks, you're fired.
00:49:39Effective immediately.
00:49:42I'm done.
00:49:43The Crescent Lake Project.
00:49:47Harper Enterprise is disqualified.
00:49:49Every single project Amber Group has done together with them will be suspended.
00:49:54The projects will be back for competitive bidding.
00:49:59No, no, you can't do that.
00:50:01Those projects are our next three years.
00:50:03They affect thousands of employees.
00:50:06Their lives are future.
00:50:07And why am the person who hired Trash and called it talent?
00:50:12Real talent.
00:50:19Pathetic.
00:50:25Serena.
00:50:28Please, you gotta let me explain.
00:50:30Miss Lawson, wait.
00:50:32Serena!
00:50:41I just avenged you in front of a lot of people.
00:50:44Asking for our dinner isn't too much, right?
00:50:47Not at all.
00:50:48You pick.
00:50:49My treat.
00:50:50Generous.
00:50:51Let's go.
00:50:52Time to rob the tycoon.
00:50:56Miss Lawson.
00:50:58Damien was wrong to bribe anyone.
00:51:01And I apologize on his behalf.
00:51:04Just, please, give Harper Enterprise another chance.
00:51:09I will meet the highest standards.
00:51:11I will deliver a perfect result on every project.
00:51:15Perfect result?
00:51:16And what exactly guarantees that?
00:51:19Your empty suit assistant?
00:51:21Miss Lawson.
00:51:23Damien made a mistake.
00:51:26But his ability is exceptional.
00:51:29For six months, he managed every Harper Enterprise project flawlessly.
00:51:34No errors, no delays.
00:51:35If you don't pull this contract, I guarantee he will make sure you see his value.
00:51:44Managed flawlessly?
00:51:45He's not the only empty suit here.
00:51:48You're too.
00:51:50Miss Lawson, you are crossing a line.
00:51:55I understand that you and Julian are close and you want to get back at me for him.
00:52:01But humiliating someone like this, isn't that a little cruel?
00:52:04You really think I froze our cooperation because Damien, right, Mason?
00:52:09Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:11For six months, Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted from Ember Group.
00:52:18For one reason.
00:52:21Julian Clark.
00:52:22Damien has nothing to do with that.
00:52:26He was just a messenger boy who picked up the contracts.
00:52:29What?
00:52:29When Julian was there, bribe or no bribe, Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:36But now, Julian's gone, so the special treatment is gone.
00:52:41Damien's little ribbing incident?
00:52:44It was just a convenient excuse to take everything back.
00:52:47Understand now?
00:52:52And about those flawless projects.
00:52:54Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly because Damien is brilliant.
00:52:58It ran smoothly because Julian called every partner, every supplier, every gatekeeper
00:53:05and cleared the path for you.
00:53:08Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:12No.
00:53:14That's not true.
00:53:15I don't believe it.
00:53:17You don't believe me?
00:53:18Then watch.
00:53:20Watch what happens when Julian leaves.
00:53:23Let's see if your exceptional Damien can keep everything perfect when Julian is not there
00:53:29to hold the world together for you.
00:53:32Come on, let's go.
00:53:41Julian, is what she's saying true?
00:53:44You were right about one thing, Serena.
00:53:47Julian and I are closer than you thought.
00:53:49That's why it disgusts me watching him waste his life away on a selfish and blind woman like you.
00:54:00Was I wrong?
00:54:01No, no, no, Serena, Serena, do not listen to her nonsense.
00:54:04Harper's success is based off of my hard work.
00:54:08Okay, Nora Lawson, she's just, she's attacking and slandering my name to defend.
00:54:13Julian, you, you have to believe me.
00:54:14Please, you have to understand.
00:54:15Because of you, Crescent Lake is gone.
00:54:19Every Amber project is gone.
00:54:22Harper Enterprise is on the edge of collapse and you're, you're asking me to trust you?
00:54:26How?
00:54:27Tell me how.
00:54:29Please, just listen to me.
00:54:31Okay, yeah, we lost Amber Group, but we're not finished.
00:54:34I mean, we still have the partners and the CEOs.
00:54:36I mean, they love me.
00:54:37They absolutely love and adore me.
00:54:40I promise.
00:54:41You know what?
00:54:41Matter of fact, I'm going to call and I'm going to get you some new projects right now.
00:54:48Hello, Mr. Foster, it's Damien here.
00:54:50I hear the Grandview Plaza is taking bids and Harper Enterprise, you know, we would absolutely love.
00:54:57Harper Enterprise, who the hell is that?
00:54:59Do you think you're even in the same league as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:02Uh, Mr. Foster, what do you mean?
00:55:07I, last time we spoke, you said that you believed in the Harper Enterprise and that you would love to
00:55:12work together.
00:55:13Listen up.
00:55:13That's because Julian Clark was in your damn Enterprise.
00:55:17I was giving him respect.
00:55:19You don't flatter yourself, bunch of blind dumbasses.
00:55:23Call me again and I'll block your fucking number.
00:55:26So what really was Julian?
00:55:27No, no, that's, that's not possible.
00:55:30I, I, I don't, I don't believe that.
00:55:31I don't.
00:55:32Hello, Mr. Parker, it's Damien.
00:55:34I was hoping to talk about future collaborations.
00:55:37Damien?
00:55:38You've got the fucking nerve to call me?
00:55:40I gave Harper Enterprise projects because of Mr. Clark and then you turned around and claimed you closed the deal?
00:55:47Who gave you the audacity?
00:55:49Shameless trash?
00:55:53Mr. Parker, Mr. Parker, no, no, goddammit!
00:55:58No, no, I, I don't believe this.
00:56:00I don't believe this fucking Julian this whole fucking time, goddammit.
00:56:05Sorry, sorry, um, hello?
00:56:09Mr. Turner, it's Damien.
00:56:11Damien, who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:13Calling me directly?
00:56:14Learned some manners.
00:56:17Julian was polite enough to tolerate you playing sideman with his fiancée.
00:56:21I'm not, you bastard, tooey.
00:56:24Mr. Turner?
00:56:26Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:30What the fuck is happening?
00:56:38Miss Harper?
00:56:39This is bad.
00:56:41Our partners are flooding us with messages.
00:56:43They're suspending contracts, pulling out a field.
00:56:45Wait, what, what, what is happening?
00:56:47They said before they only worked with Harper Enterprise because Julian Clark backed us.
00:56:52Now that he's gone, they don't trust us with their project.
00:56:55Julian.
00:56:57It's Julian again.
00:57:01So it's, it's true.
00:57:04They only gave us deals because of Julian.
00:57:08Julian!
00:57:09No, no, no, no, Swingo, please, okay?
00:57:11They're just saying that because Julian has been paying them off.
00:57:14Think about it, okay?
00:57:15But you know what?
00:57:16Just give you some time and I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:18I'll get you some new projects.
00:57:19I swear.
00:57:20Get away from me!
00:57:22You liar!
00:57:23You fraud, Damien!
00:57:25All those CEOs,
00:57:28they only had you pick up contracts from them.
00:57:30And you told me you negotiated the deals.
00:57:34I swear, I, I, I didn't know that they, that they wouldn't.
00:57:37Get out of my sight.
00:57:40Shh!
00:57:41Now!
00:57:58Fuck!
00:58:00Dammit!
00:58:00No, I was this close to locking Serena down, stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:04I'm not letting it end like this.
00:58:11Serena, you really thought you were smart.
00:58:15But you're really just pathetic, trash.
00:58:20Without Julian, you're nothing.
00:58:32Dad warned you, Grandpa warned you, and you still wouldn't listen.
00:58:41You learned everything Julian did and worshipped a con artist like Damien.
00:58:49Stupid.
00:58:59And now look at you.
00:59:02Projects gone.
00:59:05Company collapsing.
00:59:09Idiot.
00:59:10Arrogant.
00:59:12Stupid.
00:59:13Idiot.
00:59:15So stupid.
00:59:22Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:31I'm so sorry.
00:59:33Serena, listen.
00:59:35I know I messed up.
00:59:39Move.
00:59:43Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:46I know, I know I was wrong.
00:59:49Look.
00:59:49Always damn Julian.
00:59:52Julian.
00:59:55Come back, okay?
00:59:58Please come back.
01:00:03Damn back.
01:00:08You don't have to be scared.
01:00:11Harper Enterprise's business, Queen, is so much better than those cheap girls.
01:00:15Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine.
01:00:20Oh, Damien!
01:00:22You sick bastard!
01:00:24You sick bastard!
01:00:29You really mean it.
01:00:31I love you.
01:00:32You fucking...
01:00:33Get off me.
01:00:34Hey, I'm telling you the truth!
01:00:35I mean it!
01:00:36Okay?
01:00:36I promise.
01:00:38I'll treat you well.
01:00:42You fucking monster.
01:00:44Dead!
01:00:44Get off me, please.
01:00:46I'm begging you, don't!
01:00:48Say yes.
01:00:49What are you doing?
01:00:52Come on!
01:00:53Don't!
01:00:54I'm up to death!
01:00:55I'm sorry, help me!
01:00:57I tried being nice to you.
01:00:59I fucking tried!
01:01:00But you keep fighting me back!
01:01:02No, no, no, no, no, no!
01:01:03Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:04Keep fucking screaming!
01:01:06Right?
01:01:08You're not gonna say no.
01:01:10I'm gonna fuck you.
01:01:11No!
01:01:12No!
01:01:13No!
01:01:14No!
01:01:15Jillian!
01:01:16Jillian, help!
01:01:18Oh!
01:01:20Get out of here!
01:01:22Stop!
01:01:23Let me go!
01:01:24Jillian, you're always running the fucking lights.
01:01:26This isn't over.
01:01:31Jillian, wait.
01:01:33Thank God, you came and you had like...
01:01:35Jillian, we are not that close.
01:01:39I was just passing through.
01:01:40I heard some screaming, so I stopped by to check.
01:01:43You.
01:01:44I want you to call the Harper family.
01:01:46Tell them to come pick her up.
01:01:47Yes, sir.
01:01:51Jillian, I'm sorry.
01:01:53I know.
01:01:54I was wrong.
01:01:56Just...
01:01:57Please come back.
01:01:58Jillian!
01:02:00Our reservation is in 10 minutes.
01:02:02Let's go.
01:02:10Serena, I told you over and over and over again that Damien was not a good man, and you refused
01:02:22to listen.
01:02:25And Julian, if Julian doesn't come along, just at the right time.
01:02:29Oh my God.
01:02:31I can't even...
01:02:32I can't even think about it.
01:02:34If you don't do something about that stubborn pride of yours, one day, you live to regret it.
01:02:40Dad, Grandpa, please.
01:02:42Stop.
01:02:42I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:46I'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.
01:02:58Grandpa, don't worry.
01:03:03I will apologize properly, and I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:09That's all we can do.
01:03:12So, John, put out a citywide bolo on that bastard Damien.
01:03:18He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:21We're not letting that go.
01:03:24No, we're not.
01:03:26Understood.
01:03:27Good.
01:03:58Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:05What is this supposed to be?
01:04:07A gift for you.
01:04:09Myself.
01:04:11I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:14Amber group backs you up.
01:04:15No questions asked.
01:04:17But first, you have to accept the gift.
01:04:21Properly.
01:04:31Hey, can you not do that?
01:04:34You're making this incredibly awkward.
01:04:37You know a woman like me shows up a gift wrapped, and any man would have, you know,
01:04:43housed me by now.
01:04:45Then tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:48Hung up?
01:04:51You're not going to be hung up on Serena.
01:04:52She and I were never romantic.
01:04:55No, it's just a business marriage between two families.
01:04:59Things are moving too fast.
01:05:02You gotta think twice.
01:05:03But I don't have time.
01:05:05My family is preparing to send me off into a European alliance.
01:05:10Some old money.
01:05:12Perfect match they can show off at Wallace.
01:05:15Wait, what are you talking about?
01:05:17Are you serious?
01:05:17Yes, Julian.
01:05:18Julian, my uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune, and he'll do whatever it takes to
01:05:24get rid of me permanently.
01:05:25But I don't want a stranger.
01:05:26I want you.
01:05:27I love you.
01:05:30Julian, let's make it official.
01:05:34Let's get married.
01:05:38You know, if you'll marry me, my family won't dare object.
01:05:44Please, Julian.
01:05:55Okay.
01:05:58I'll marry you.
01:05:59Are you serious?
01:06:01No takebacks.
01:06:02No takebacks.
01:06:03Ever.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:04I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:07But can you help me out?
01:06:11Um, my hands are getting...
01:06:14So impatient.
01:06:19It's like you said, if I accept the gift, then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:30Then be gentle.
01:06:40Julian, you didn't forget what you promised last night, right?
01:06:45Uh, no.
01:06:46Because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:06:48Of course I remember that.
01:06:50You know, when someone wraps themselves as a gift, kind of...
01:06:54You kind of remember that for the rest of your life.
01:06:56Details!
01:06:57Those are just tiny details.
01:07:01Look like big details to me.
01:07:06Julian.
01:07:08Can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:11Serena, I really don't think there's anything we need to discuss.
01:07:13Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:15I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:16I misjudged everything.
01:07:18Please, 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.
01:07:25I'll do anything.
01:07:26I'm sorry.
01:07:27I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:32Boyfriend?
01:07:38Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:07:41Well, Julian hates them too.
01:07:44And yet he stayed at Harper Enterprise for six full months.
01:07:48He asked you out 37 times.
01:07:51So tell me, what exactly are you proud of?
01:07:54Hmm?
01:07:56Men like him?
01:07:58If you treat him like trash, someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:08:03Listen carefully.
01:08:04We are together now, so better keep your distance.
01:08:07If you don't, I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:13Come on.
01:08:14We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:17Let's not be late.
01:08:18Wedding outfits.
01:08:22Let's go.
01:08:27Let's go.
01:08:36So how did it go?
01:08:38Julian?
01:08:39He's with Nora.
01:08:45Nora.
01:08:46Nora Lawson.
01:08:48CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:50Of course.
01:08:51You know, Serena, it's an elite like Julian.
01:08:55The second you let go, somebody comes and grabs him.
01:08:59You don't get another chance.
01:09:01God gave our family a chance.
01:09:03And we blew it.
01:09:06God, forgive the Harpers.
01:09:08Please.
01:09:10Ms. Hopper, finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:14Hopper Enterprise's cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:17If we don't act immediately, we won't even have enough to make payroll this month.
01:09:23Great.
01:09:24Now all of Wall Street knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:28Who's going to lend to us now?
01:09:30How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:31This is my fault, okay?
01:09:34I was blind.
01:09:35Are you proud now?
01:09:38I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:09:42I didn't realize that Julian was running everything.
01:09:46And the moment he's gone, I can't do anything.
01:09:50Dad, Grandpa, I'm so sorry.
01:09:54I ruined Harpers Enterprise.
01:09:57I ruined everything.
01:09:59Dad, you're the one who arranged the engagement with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:04So maybe you should go talk to him and see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:09Yes, Grandpa.
01:10:11Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:13If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:16Clark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:20Yes, they honored our engagement.
01:10:24And that was a mercy.
01:10:25That was a blessing.
01:10:27But you threw it away.
01:10:33Still, for your sake and for your future, and for our future, we'll fight.
01:10:41God.
01:10:45Serena, when you see Julian's grandfather, your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:54If he forgives you, only then will you know that you have a chance to get Julian back.
01:11:01Understood, Grandpa.
01:11:03For the Harper family, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:21Welcome.
01:11:22You must be here for Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:27Perfect timing.
01:11:28They're just about to start.
01:11:31Engagement party?
01:11:33So they're really engaged?
01:11:35Wait, how is this all happening so fast?
01:11:39What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:41Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson have known each other since they were born,
01:11:45and everyone is so happy that they're finally getting married.
01:11:48Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:51You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:11:54Then, please leave.
01:11:57Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:11:59Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:12:04If there's an engagement party,
01:12:07that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:13And that means we're done.
01:12:16There's no more chances left.
01:12:18We're leaving.
01:12:19Is this my punishment?
01:12:24All right, everyone.
01:12:26Big smiles.
01:12:42Julian, are you okay?
01:12:45Hey.
01:12:46Hey.
01:12:51What is it?
01:12:53Oh, it's nothing.
01:12:54Come on.
01:12:54Dinner's almost ready.
01:13:09Dad.
01:13:10The Harpers.
01:13:12My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:16For him,
01:13:18his six months at Harper Enterprise,
01:13:21it was a total humiliation.
01:13:25We've shown the Harper more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:30Understood, Dad.
01:13:39Okay, enough, Serena.
01:13:41Stop.
01:13:42You can't drink this away.
01:13:44Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:13:47If you don't get up, it's over.
01:13:50Just leave me the fuck alone.
01:13:52Okay?
01:13:53Just let me drink.
01:13:54I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:56I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:13:58No, you...
01:14:01All right, I've got to take this.
01:14:03Don't move.
01:14:04I'll be right back, and then I am taking you home.
01:14:08No.
01:14:16Nora.
01:14:19Okay, Nora.
01:14:20Be honest.
01:14:22You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:24You just got engaged,
01:14:26and you're getting married next week?
01:14:28Let's see.
01:14:30You've known Julian for 20-plus years.
01:14:33You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:14:34I've liked Julian for 20 years,
01:14:37and I finally got him to say yes.
01:14:39You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:14:41Lock it down from what?
01:14:42From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:14:45They're collapsing and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:14:49I have to move fast.
01:14:51If they start begging,
01:14:54what if Julian hesitates?
01:14:56But Julian and Serena were forced into that.
01:14:59There's no real love.
01:15:01Why will Julian hesitate?
01:15:02What are you afraid of?
01:15:03You don't get it.
01:15:06Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months,
01:15:09and it wasn't just because his grandfather would do it.
01:15:12Then why?
01:15:15Because Serena
01:15:18is his type.
01:15:20Wait, what?
01:15:23I am Julian's type?
01:15:26No way!
01:15:28I'm serious.
01:15:29The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:15:32That exact time.
01:15:34I mean, with his personality,
01:15:37even if his grandfather forced him,
01:15:39he would have stayed there for three days max,
01:15:41and then vanished.
01:15:42He would not stay there
01:15:44and take six months of humiliation
01:15:46if he didn't want it to.
01:15:48That's Julian Clark.
01:15:50So that's why?
01:15:52Serena must have destroyed him.
01:15:54I have to get married fast.
01:15:56I cannot give her a single chance.
01:15:59So that's what it was.
01:16:01Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:16:03because I'm his type.
01:16:05He likes me!
01:16:06That means...
01:16:07I still have a chance.
01:16:09I still have a chance!
01:16:11This is my last shot.
01:16:12I am not wasting it.
01:16:20Where is she?
01:16:27Ladies and gentlemen,
01:16:29let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:44Wow.
01:16:45They look perfect together.
01:16:47They're childhood sweethearts.
01:16:49The whole fantasy.
01:16:50Oh my God, brilliant!
01:16:53And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:08Wait!
01:17:14Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:18Who is that?
01:17:19Is that Serena Harper?
01:17:21CEO of Harper Enterprise?
01:17:23You mean the woman who rode on Julian's back to the IPO
01:17:26and then kicked him out like he was nothing?
01:17:28Without Julian, Harper Enterprise is basically bankrupt.
01:17:32Pathetic.
01:17:33Wait!
01:17:35Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:40Julian, I know you like me.
01:17:42You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:17:45humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:51I know.
01:17:52I was wrong.
01:17:53Totally wrong, okay?
01:17:55Just please.
01:17:56Give me another chance.
01:18:00Our engagement is over.
01:18:03In fact, you were the one that called it off.
01:18:06Look, this is my wedding.
01:18:08Have some dignity.
01:18:09In fact, can we get her out of here, please?
01:18:10No, please.
01:18:12I'll do anything.
01:18:14Just...
01:18:14No.
01:18:19I know you hate me because I rejected you 37 times,
01:18:24but I'll make it up to you.
01:18:27I'll chase you 37 times, 370 times, whatever it did.
01:18:32Can we please get her out?
01:18:34No, don't touch me!
01:18:35Julian, what do you want from me?
01:18:37I know you like me, so why won't you give me another chance?
01:18:41Why?
01:18:46Simple question.
01:18:48Do you love me?
01:18:52I...
01:18:52Exactly.
01:18:53You don't.
01:18:54You didn't realize you made a mistake.
01:18:56You realized that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:18:59What you want is not a chance, but a tool.
01:19:03You want me back so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:08No, that...
01:19:10That's not true.
01:19:12Just please.
01:19:14Listen.
01:19:14Please, listen.
01:19:15Enough.
01:19:15Serena.
01:19:17When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise, do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:21Let me ask you this.
01:19:23If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed, if your value kept climbing, would you still be here standing in front of
01:19:29me today?
01:19:32I...
01:19:33No, no, you wouldn't.
01:19:34You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:35You'd be celebrating.
01:19:37You'd say that you earned the business queen crown.
01:19:40You'd be mocking me, calling me pathetic.
01:19:42You'd say that firing me was the best decision you ever made.
01:19:45Plus, you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:19:47No.
01:19:49No, Juliana.
01:19:51That's not me.
01:19:52Just admit it, Serena.
01:19:55You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:56But on my wedding day, you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:20:00Why?
01:20:00Because you want me back as your lifeline.
01:20:03Your donor.
01:20:04Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:06But the moment I stop being useful, you will kick me away again without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:11No.
01:20:13No, Juliana.
01:20:15That is not true tonight.
01:20:17That you saved me from Damien.
01:20:20I...
01:20:21I felt something for you.
01:20:23I did.
01:20:24Stop.
01:20:25Do not perform at my wedding.
01:20:27You don't regret hurting me.
01:20:29You regret choosing the wrong man.
01:20:31You regret that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:20:34You know, I'll admit.
01:20:35When I met you, you were exactly my type.
01:20:40But once I got to know you, once I realized what you really are, all I felt was disgust.
01:20:47But Nora, she has cared for me since we were kids.
01:20:55When I was sick, she stayed up all night taking care of me.
01:21:00When I was at my lowest, she pulled me back up.
01:21:03Even when I went back to Harper Enterprise on the engagement, she still supported me.
01:21:09She still took hits from me.
01:21:14So, let me ask you.
01:21:17Why would I give up all of that for you?
01:21:21What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:26I...
01:21:27I...
01:21:28I...
01:21:28I...
01:21:28Get her out.
01:21:29No, no.
01:21:30No, please don't, Julian.
01:21:31Don't, don't, please.
01:21:33I'm faking you.
01:21:34Just please let me explain.
01:21:35Please.
01:21:36Please, let me...
01:21:37Please, stop.
01:21:38Let me go.
01:21:39Julian, please don't do it.
01:21:41Crashing a wedding like that?
01:21:43I thought she actually loved him.
01:21:44Turns out, she just realized without Julian, she can't stay on top.
01:21:49She used Julian's feelings like a weapon, totally vampire-drained him dry.
01:22:23Mr. Clark!
01:22:41I'm sure you've all heard.
01:22:44Harper Enterprise, affected today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:47So, you're all being terminated.
01:22:51Are you...
01:22:51What?
01:22:53Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:22:55I've given this company 15 years.
01:22:58You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:23:0015 years, wow.
01:23:01Congratulations.
01:23:02You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:08You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:12You've seen how you all work.
01:23:16Bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud.
01:23:23Everyone beat us a mile.
01:23:25So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms.
01:23:29And once you sign them, hand over your badges, or you're going to rob him.
01:23:34You're going to be passing out some of your badges.
01:23:36This...
01:23:37This is it.
01:23:51Are you satisfied, Mal?
01:23:55Satisfied?
01:23:56Thomas went to my grandfather.
01:23:58He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:24:03I saved you.
01:24:06Julian.
01:24:09If I didn't treat you the way I did, would any of this be different?
01:24:23Julian, right now you're thrown away and still land something better.
01:24:26I spent my whole life climbing upwards, and now I'm stuck at the bottom, hunted by cops.
01:24:30I won't accept it.
01:24:32Julian, watch out!
01:24:34Julian!
01:24:39Let me go!
01:24:40Fuck you, let me go!
01:24:41I already spared you.
01:24:42You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:44Go on, take him to the police.
01:24:46Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:47I want him to ride in jail.
01:24:48Fuck the coward.
01:24:49You're a fucking coward!
01:24:51Hiding behind your goddamn family's money?
01:24:52No, no, fight me.
01:24:53101!
01:24:54101!
01:24:54Let the guards go!
01:24:55You're all the fucking guts, do you?
01:25:01Hey, Julian.
01:25:03What was that?
01:25:05Just taking out the trash.
01:25:07Are you done here?
01:25:10No.
01:25:11Let's go.
01:25:18I was wrong!
01:25:20Julian, I was wrong!
