Short filmTranscript
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.
00:00:53Give me a sec.
00:01:01Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:04Good, good, yeah.
00:01:05I just need to ask for a little favor.
00:01:12Julian, you saved my ass last time.
00:01:15I owe you.
00:01:16I'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.
00:02:17neutralized 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 of Serena to get him fired.
00:02:48Hello? Is there a problem?
00:02:51Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the fire.
00:02:54The least that every single one of you could 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, our company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:16Keep sharing. I'm listening.
00:03:21This conference room isn't your 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, we'll start with a question.
00:03:44Which funds were behind the short attack?
00:03:46And what was their distinct objective?
00:03:48And what specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:50Doesn't matter.
00:03:51What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:53You can't even name the enemy?
00:03:55All right, fine.
00:03:56Next question.
00:03:57Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights?
00:03:59And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:03Well, uh, well, um, well, I, uh, well.
00:04:10Well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:11All right, so you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room,
00:04:15the countermeasures for a potential proxy fight,
00:04:17or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:23Let's be real.
00:04:25You are nothing but a glory hound who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees the deal.
00:04:40You, a useless, game-addicted, fucking loser, dare to question me?
00:04:45You 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.
00:05:06Understood.
00:05:07Now, the hearing's not enough.
00:05:09I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company now.
00:05:16You took our family's market cap and raised it to three trillion dollars.
00:05:21You proved everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:24Now, uh, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:27Harper's, uh, old friends, good staff, you know?
00:05:31Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper.
00:05:34What you're talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:36Feelings could grow, but our families go way better.
00:05:40Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:43My life, my choice.
00:05:45Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that-
00:05:47Enough!
00:05:48Oh, that's it.
00:05:49You're going to do this.
00:05:51I've already arranged everything.
00:05:52You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:55Go work with Serena.
00:05:58And date her properly, hmm?
00:06:02You refuse.
00:06:04Okay, nurse, doctor, I'm checking out.
00:06:07My own grandson 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 when I pass again.
00:06:17For years, you've carried this family on your back.
00:06:20We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:23The Harper's never in trouble.
00:06:26We 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 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.
00:07:15So, pathetic.
00:07:17I said you're fired.
00:07:18Get your shit and get the fuck out of my book.
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, or I'm going to call security and you're going to drag your ass out.
00:07:29Suit yourself.
00:07:31Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:36Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:39You will leave.
00:07:40Now, do not disrupt this company any further.
00:07:43Serena, is that really the best play you want to make here?
00:07:46I will not repeat it.
00:07:47And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:49You know what, Serena?
00:07:51Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:59You don't push your luck, Clark.
00:08:00The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the first place
00:08:03is because of your dusty fucking engagement to Serena.
00:08:06And you have the audacity to act all high and mighty.
00:08:09You're fucking nothing.
00:08:11You're a little trust fund, entitled piece of shit baby.
00:08:14I mean, even your fiance is telling you to get lost.
00:08:17So, why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost before I fucking...
00:08:28You broke it.
00:08:29You broke my teeth.
00:08:31You know how much this costs, you fucking asshole.
00:08:33A 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 effective 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, he has to pay for it.
00:08:57Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:08:59Either pay up, or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:05Fine.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:09Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:10What, one hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:12It's a million.
00:09:13A million for that.
00:09:14It's a gift from Serena.
00:09:16It's priceless.
00:09:17A million dollars being generous.
00:09:18You can fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:20A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:23He does have a point card.
00:09:24You break it, you buy it.
00:09:27That's the rule.
00:09:28Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:35Well, you gonna wire me the money?
00:09:38Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:40And if so, you can crawl out of here, and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:46So what if you're Serena's Beyoncé?
00:09:49Look at her now.
00:09:50She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:54A million dollars.
00:09:56That's the final offer.
00:09:57What do you mean?
00:10:02I 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 in a private army?
00:10:29All right, Julian.
00:10:30The charade ends now.
00:10:31Leave the company, and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:34But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:37We are done.
00:10:39You sure?
00:10:40Whoa, whoa.
00:10:41You heard that, Julian?
00:10:42Your engagement's over.
00:10:43Now get out before I throw you-
00:10:45Get 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-
00:10:53FUCKING LOOK OFF YOUR FACE!
00:10:58Enough!
00:11:03Mr. Brooks.
00:11:07That's David Brooks.
00:11:08President of Harvey View Bank.
00:11:10What's a Wall Street titan doing on a conference room?
00:11:12Do you think it has to do with the hundred million loan?
00:11:14It can't be.
00:11:15That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:19Mr. Klock.
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?
00:11:53Wait.
00:11:54Delivered by Mr. Brooks?
00:11:55I mean, wait, who are you?
00:12:00Much appreciated.
00:12:01You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:09Mr. Brooks.
00:12:10Sir.
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. Klock.
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, 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, all right?
00:13:01You gotta fix this.
00:13:02You call him back here and get that loan reinstated or I swear I'm gonna-
00:13:05You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:08As for us,
00:13:11One million in full, which makes this watch-
00:13:19It's mine.
00:13:20You arrogant.
00:13:22Son of a bitch!
00:13:27I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it?
00:13:28I bet you had 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, how much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:45Oh, I don't know.
00:13:46Maybe about a hundred million?
00:13:50A hundred million dollars!
00:13:54For a laptop?
00:13:55Have you lost your mind?
00:13:58A hundred million.
00:14:00For a laptop.
00:14:01Julian.
00:14:02The law requires compensation for actual value,
00:14:05What you're committing is extortion.
00:14:08That's illegal.
00:14:09So, him extorting me for a million was legal then, right?
00:14:12By the way, where was your sound legal advice two minutes ago?
00:14:14Huh?
00:14:16That's a kisser.
00:14:17Enough!
00:14:18Julian.
00:14:20You know, I know you think you're right.
00:14:22What?
00:14:22A stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars?
00:14:26A hundred million dollars?
00:14:27I...
00:14:29Dream on.
00:14:29Sure, a standard stellar isn't worth that much.
00:14:32But this isn't a standard.
00:14:34What is it made of gold?
00:14:35Even then, it still wouldn't cost a hundred million fucking dollars.
00:14:38You know what?
00:14:39You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:48Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:50That's Billy Sullivan.
00:14:52SVP for stellar.
00:14:53Here?
00:14:54You think it's about the three hundred million dollar partnership dude?
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.
00:15:07I'm Sabrina Harper, CEO.
00:15:09What 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.
00:15:16We were concerned for your safety and came immediately.
00:15:18Mr. 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, this could be 30 million.
00:15:4130 million dollars?
00:15:43No, no, no, no, to fix a fucking laptop?
00:15:46That's impossible!
00:15:47There's no way!
00:15:47Are you questioning me?
00:15:49No, I just...
00:15:50Well, open your eyes.
00:15:51This is a one-off laptop with stellar's quantum processors and proprietary components.
00:15:56You better pray that those data partitions are intact or that compensation will ruin you.
00:16:00I just had the critical, critical data corruption here.
00:16:04It's highly confidential files, high market value.
00:16:07For you, I mean, with our declarations, this is at least 70 million dollars.
00:16:1470 million dollars?
00:16:15What?
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.
00:16:36I mean, who carries around a hundred million dollar laptop?
00:16:46Who exactly are you?
00:16:47You don't get to know.
00:16:49In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:51There's no way that there's a fucking laptop that costs a hundred million dollars.
00:16:56You know what?
00:16:56This is a fucking scam.
00:16:57These two, they're working together.
00:16:59I'm telling you, it's a con.
00:17:00Are you serious?
00:17:01I'm Blake Sullivan.
00:17:03I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:04I don't fly across the city of Skim and nobody like you.
00:17:08Listen, I'm so...
00:17:09Ms. Harper, this is the employee you hire.
00:17:12He's a fool and it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:16Oh, by the way, our partnership deal, consider it terminated.
00:17:21What?
00:17:22Mr. Sullivan, please.
00:17:24Damien is just, he's stressy.
00:17:26He didn't mean...
00:17:27Save it.
00:17:28You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:31You, 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.
00:17:53He's done for.
00:17:55So, may I help?
00:17:57Please.
00:18:01Please.
00:18:05Mr. Sullivan, Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation.
00:18:10Will that suffice?
00:18:11I'm just here to certify facts.
00:18:13You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:18Full payment, in 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!
00:18:40That's funny.
00:18:42Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:43A hundred million on the line and you swoop in the cover for him.
00:18:47You know, I just hope that your father and your grandfather are as generous as you are.
00:18:52Mr. Sullivan, whether her father or Chairman Harper approve is none of your goddamn business.
00:18:56We don't need someone like you worrying about it.
00:18:59Mr. Sullivan, he's right.
00:19:01Julianna, 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?
00:19:15You know, I'll admit it.
00:19:15Yeah, you got the money, but 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.
00:19:22So get the fuck out!
00:19:24Get the fuck out?
00:19:26One of us just torpedoed a hundred million dollar loan and a 300 million dollar deal.
00:19:31Remind me.
00:19:32Which one of us should actually get the fuck out?
00:19:35Serena, I think it is actually time to call your grandfather.
00:19:37He could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:42Stop.
00:19:43Stop!
00:19:48This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper.
00:19:52Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:19:55Funny.
00:19:56Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill.
00:19:58Remind me.
00:19:59Which one of us is the real boy toy?
00:20:03You.
00:20:13Get the fuck out!
00:20:15Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have.
00:20:18This is Harper Enterprise.
00:20:20I'm the one in charge here.
00:20:23Security, remove him.
00:20:28Julian, please, don't make us get physical.
00:20:30I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in.
00:20:32You really want to lay hands on me?
00:20:35Chairman Harper brought you in?
00:20:37Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:40Who do you think you are?
00:20:41You think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:44Julian, I've already given you more courtesy than you deserve.
00:20:46The more you cling on like this, the more disgusting you become to me.
00:20:52Do it.
00:20:55Looks like I won't need that phone call.
00:20:57Still running your mouth, huh?
00:20:58Move.
00:20:59Get him the fuck out of here.
00:21:05What the hell is going on in here?
00:21:09Stand down!
00:21:10All of you!
00:21:11You!
00:21:12Out 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 going on today.
00:21:26I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:30Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:34Chairman Harper apologizing to Julian?
00:21:38Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:42Chairman Harper, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games.
00:21:45How could you possibly?
00:21:46Shut up!
00:21:54How dare you disrespect Julian!
00:21:58Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has.
00:22:00You can't just hit people!
00:22:01I wish we hit him more.
00:22:03Sylvia, 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-
00:22:21Thomas, you can't force something that isn't there.
00:22:23No real feelings, no need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:27Julian, please understand, all of this is on us.
00:22:30Yes, everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harper 5th.
00:22:35Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:41I apologize 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!
00:23:01Serena, enough!
00:23:03Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:05Let me apologize.
00:23:06Save it.
00:23:08Serena can't manage an apology herself,
00:23:11then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:15Issue my order.
00:23:17Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:20Cease every protective measure effective immediately.
00:23:22Julian, please, don't!
00:23:24Without you, this place doesn't survive.
00:23:27Look!
00:23:29Oh!
00:23:30What?
00:23:35Oh, I guess you would have just pulled out orders.
00:23:37What do you mean, hostile takeover?
00:23:39All of our investors pulled out.
00:23:41How can that be?
00:23:46Harper Enterprise stock plunges 30% in minutes, wiping out billions in market value.
00:23:52What?
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.
00:24:04Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:08Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:10Why did Harper Enterprises suddenly lose power?
00:24:13What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:16How is that possible?
00:24:19Are you attacking the company?
00:24:20No matter who is behind this, I, Serena, will never bow down to you.
00:24:27Harper Enterprise will not yield to any market attacks.
00:24:30Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks.
00:24:32It's Harper.
00:24:33This isn't a race.
00:24:34Our major partners are terminating their contracts.
00:24:37And our own liquidity can't cover the gas.
00:24:40If it continues, the stock will crash straight through the floor.
00:24:44What did you say?
00:24:45Damn 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.
00:24:52Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?
00:24:58Apologize to Julian.
00:25:00No!
00:25:05Serena, apologize.
00:25:08Serena.
00:25:18Serena, do not apologize.
00:25:21Harper Enterprise 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.
00:25:31Oh, fucking no!
00:25:35No, you're fucking fucked.
00:25:36You apologize to Julian right now.
00:25:38Get on your n-
00:25:40Dad!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:43Dad, stop!
00:25:45Damien has only ever stood up for me.
00:25:47He is the only one who actually cares about me and I won't let you trade him like this.
00:25:50Stay out of the way.
00:25:51No!
00:25:53You really gonna go to war with Julian over this snake?
00:25:57Do you even have any idea who he really is?
00:25:59Whoever he is, it doesn't give him the right to just bully people like this.
00:26:03I cannot stand bullies who throw their weight around.
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.
00:26:18He throws tea on me in this very room.
00:26:21He squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a hundred thousand dollar watch.
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.
00:26:36I've been engaged to you for the past six months.
00:26:39I have asked you out 37 times.
00:26:42Because I thought we should at least get to know each other.
00:26:44Every time I have asked you out, you said, I'm too busy with work.
00:26:49But that wasn't the truth.
00:26:50The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant.
00:26:54Listen to him sing your praises, right?
00:26:57Who'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?
00:27:20So what if I did?
00:27:22Who I choose to hang out with is my own choice.
00:27:25We're engaged, not married.
00:27:28I can see whoever I want.
00:27:30Serena, shut up.
00:27:32No, I am not done.
00:27:34Damien has worked himself to the bone.
00:27:37He is driven and disciplined.
00:27:39And when Harper first went public, he was a key reason that we made it.
00:27:43If you had even half his talent, Julian, maybe I would have said yes to you once.
00:27:49But you don't.
00:27:53Damien was a key reason you made it.
00:27:55That's your story, right?
00:27:56What is so funny?
00:27:57I mean, I'm laughing at just how foolish you are.
00:28:01Do you know why, for the past six months, all 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, the 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? Brilliant?
00:28:20That was Julian.
00:28:22Julian is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together.
00:28:27Serena.
00:28:28No, that is impossible.
00:28:31I don't believe it.
00:28:41Hey.
00:28:42Eyes up, Serena.
00:28:43In the past six months, I've called in 47 separate connections and cleared a path for you.
00:28:48Oh, I put Harper Enterprise on the exchange.
00:28:50And you know, I made you Wall Street's business queen.
00:28:53That's Iron Gate, North Bridge, and even Silver Line.
00:28:56Those are all the top 50 global giants.
00:28:58They've all been begging us behind the scenes?
00:29:00No wonder every project went so smoothly.
00:29:03Julian's the one with this kind of network.
00:29:05Damien's got some nerves 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 because of me and my hard work and my connections.
00:29:19Oh, you perry good fool.
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:31All right, that's enough.
00:29:34I finally got the all clear for my grandfather.
00:29:36I can go home.
00:29:37So as of right now, our 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 who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:52Without my connections and my network, Harper Enterprise's stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:57It's going to go right back to where it was six months ago.
00:30:01Wait, what?
00:30:04Prepare yourselves.
00:30:05Julian.
00:30:06Julian.
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, I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:22Serena's right.
00:30:23Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper, I'm going to stand by Serena's side and I'm going to give her everything that I've
00:30:28got.
00:30:29Crap, I'm going to beat the crap out of you once and for all.
00:30:33Dad, that is enough.
00:30:36Dad, Grandpa, I 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 that what Harper achieved over the past six months was my work.
00:30:51It has nothing to do with Julian.
00:30:54This meeting is over.
00:30:57Serena, wait up.
00:30:59You.
00:30:59God, tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:07Serena, Serena.
00:31:09Don't even worry about that.
00:31:10I know our Enterprise took a huge hit today, but as long as we lock down Amber Group's Crescent Lake
00:31:14project,
00:31:15change the game, and 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, we can wipe all the problems we've been facing.
00:31:28Damien, you've secured several of Amber Group's projects before, and I'm going to put this one in your hands too.
00:31:35It's not going to be a problem, right?
00:31:36No, no, absolutely.
00:31:37You can't have me.
00:31:38Amber Group's deputy VP of projects.
00:31:41I mean, you trust me clearly.
00:31:44Yes, it's good as ours.
00:31:52Get the Crescent Lake contract ready.
00:31:54Same as always.
00:31:55Once the Harper team arrives, we hand it straight to them.
00:31:58Miss Lawson, we just got an update. Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise.
00:32:02The engagement is off. Serena fired him and ended it.
00:32:08Are you sure?
00:32:10Absolutely.
00:32:11Word is she listened to her assistant Damien, who really stirred the pot,
00:32:14and then Serena personally pushed Julian out.
00:32:17Serena really thinks she got where she is 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, Harper Enterprise really thinks it's worthy of Crescent Lake?
00:32:31Not a chance. Open it to public bidding.
00:32:34Yes, ma'am.
00:32:42Now that is an amazing shot, Mr. Brooks.
00:32:45Damien, Crescent Lake's public bid is coming up soon.
00:32:49How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:06What does this mean, huh?
00:33:08Mr. Brooks, why don't you do yourself a favor and take a closer look?
00:33:12That's one million in clean crypto, untraceable.
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.
00:33:24Oh my, Damien, you're too kind.
00:33:29Sure, it's public bidding on paper, but as long as I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about.
00:33:36Sit tight.
00:33:38Contract's yours.
00:33:41Miss Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway.
00:33:47Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:34:15Well, wow.
00:34:18Friends, Jillian.
00:34:21I heard 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. So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit. Is that right?
00:34:35Of course.
00:34:39I'm here to steal you.
00:34:42You see, since your engagement is off, I was thinking,
00:34:48how 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 pick a stranger when there's someone who
00:35:06actually knows you?
00:35:07You see, childhood friends, same circles, 15 years of school.
00:35:16We match, you know?
00:35:19We fit.
00:35:21Hang on, Nora, are you saying this because you're drunk or do you-
00:35:33I'm not drunk, okay?
00:35:35You don't have to answer me tonight, just think about it.
00:35:40Hm?
00:35:48I need to sometime, once next.
00:35:55Or else, in the next.
00:36:02Sure time.
00:36:11I told you I'm not drunk.
00:36:13No, no.
00:36:13Guess what I'm supposed to come off.
00:36:15Oh, shit.
00:36:17I'm drunk.
00:36:19No, no.
00:36:20Guess what I'm supposed to come off.
00:36:21Oh, 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, bad timing.
00:36:49Truly terrible timing.
00:36:58Don't move.
00:37:00If that jacket slips for you in a second, you're finished.
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?
00:37:08I'm a calm boost to my company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breasts 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.
00:37:41And suffer.
00:37:42Okay?
00:37:44If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:52Please, please, walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:10Speak of the devil, of all the times.
00:38:13Okay.
00:38:19You know, 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.
00:38:38Can I help you with something?
00:38:41Seriously?
00:38:42This woman's even prettier than Serena.
00:38:44How 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.
00:38:55Pouring herself out like this?
00:38:58It's been vaulting her.
00:39:00Is that so?
00:39:01Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Christmas project.
00:39:09What, you're bidding too?
00:39:10Yeah, I know you got connection and that's great, you know.
00:39:13But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:15Me, 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.
00:39:42So, man, you don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:46All right, come on.
00:39:47Let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:39:48Let's go socialize and maybe we'll run into the host of the party, Lawson herself.
00:39:53And if we do, I'll make sure we're leaving good a brush.
00:40:05Let's go socialize and maybe we'll see you.
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.
00:40:22Okay.
00:40:23Manners, 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 classy, I can do classy.
00:40:37Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:45I'll let you get to it.
00:40:50Shall we?
00:41:07Julia.
00:41:11I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:13You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:17You know what?
00:41:18Mason Brooks, Amber Group's deputy VP of projects,
00:41:22already agreed to award the contract to Harper Enterprise.
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.
00:41:38And 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.
00:41:43Of 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?
00:41:56Everybody 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.
00:42:03You see, my Clark Group has deeper capital, better tech,
00:42:07and a stronger global record than Harper Enterprise.
00:42:09So I'm just curious.
00:42:11Why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:13He recognizes Damien's talent, of course.
00:42:21I need to take this.
00:42:28What century are you living in?
00:42:34Hmm?
00:42:35You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:38Then what does?
00:42:39I ain't really that fucking stupid.
00:42:41Of course this.
00:42:45I 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.
00:42:57He wouldn't dare.
00:42:57Yeah, 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,
00:43:07and give us a nice little poll show.
00:43:09Hey.
00:43:09Hey, I'm going to tell you.
00:43:11You want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:15Because every time I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune,
00:43:22capital technology...
00:43:23It's useless fucking 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?
00:43:36Who 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?
00:43:49Hmm?
00:44:01What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:03Hmm?
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.
00:44:17There 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.
00:44:27Come on, please, teach her a lesson.
00:44:28Oh, report me?
00:44:29Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:31This woman right here.
00:44:35Miss...
00:44:35Loss?
00:44:36She's even...
00:44:37She's even quoting the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:39Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:41What?
00:44:42What?
00:44:44This...
00:44:45This...
00:44:45This can't be...
00:44:49Go ahead, laugh!
00:44:50Laugh some more.
00:44:52Are 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...
00:44:59She rats you out, who's going to believe this?
00:45:00No!
00:45:01Why are you bidding me?
00:45:03Shut 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!
00:45:12Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:14Mr. Losson, this...
00:45:15This 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.
00:45:24Not once!
00:45:27Mr. Losson?
00:45:29No, no, wait.
00:45:31You're Nora Losson?
00:45:32Amber's group CEO?
00:45:34How is that possible?
00:45:35How is that fucking...
00:45:36Mr. 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?
00:45:53Ms. Losson?
00:45:55These 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.
00:46:03Ms. Losson?
00:46:05Ms. Losson?
00:46:07She's Nora Losson?
00:46:12The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:14Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:16You can leave now.
00:46:20Ms. Losson, I am so sorry.
00:46:23Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being inappropriate.
00:46:29I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:32He is blunt, yes.
00:46:34But his ability is exceptional.
00:46:38Please, give Harper Enterprise the contract, and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:46:45Exceptional ability?
00:46:47Are you sure about that?
00:46:48Of course.
00:46:50If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:46:55Ms. Losson, you'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 secured every project.
00:47:10Right.
00:47:10So 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.
00:47:17So what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:19Let's go.
00:47:20Go?
00:47:21If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:25Even if Ms. Losson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:29Serena, please!
00:47:30Okay?
00:47:30I'm sorry.
00:47:32Here we go now.
00:47:33All right?
00:47:33I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones, but 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?
00:47:40I...
00:47:53You want to understand the rules on top there, sweet boy?
00:47:57Technology capital.
00:47:59Useless fucking trash.
00:48:01What?
00:48:02Shit!
00:48:03She actually recorded it?
00:48:04And escort.
00:48:06So why don't you do us all a nice little favor?
00:48:08Get up on that stage.
00:48:09Give us a nice little poll show.
00:48:13Who is that?
00:48:14He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:18That's Damian 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 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 turn it up.
00:48:35Turn it up right now!
00:48:37Stop him!
00:48:38Not coming to me!
00:48:41Damian, you did this behind my back?
00:48:43This is your talent?
00:48:45Your ability?
00:48:46Yes, sir.
00:48:47I mean, please just...
00:48:48Mr. Brooks has been sent.
00:48:50What a fucking ridiculous thing to say.
00:48:52Who are you to say anything?
00:48:54What do you think?
00:48:54You're Amber Group CEO?
00:48:56Amber Group.
00:48:58Turn it off.
00:48:59It's okay?
00:49:00Okay.
00:49:00Miss Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:49:01Just...
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!
00:49:19And Serena trusted him to be her assistant?
00:49:21I mean, what does that say about her judgment?
00:49:23Damian, you have disappointed me beyond words.
00:49:28Serena, 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?
00:49:34Enough.
00:49:35Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:37Mason Brooks, you're fired.
00:49:39Effective immediately.
00:49:42I'm done.
00:49:44The Crescent Lake Project.
00:49:47Harper Enterprise is disqualified.
00:49:50Every 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 turn 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.
00:50:31Miss 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 my treat.
00:50:50Generous.
00:50:52Let'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.
00:51:05Just 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 assistance?
00:51:21Miss Lawson.
00:51:24Damien 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.
00:51:49Year or two.
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 and Bribe Mason?
00:52:09Wasn't that the reason?
00:52:12For six months, Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted from Ember Group.
00:52:18For one reason.
00:52:21Julian Clark.
00:52:23Damien has nothing to do with that.
00:52:26He was just a messenger boy who picked up the contracts.
00:52:29What?
00:52:30When Julian was there, bribe or no bribe.
00:52:33Harper 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.
00:52:55Harper 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.
00:53:08Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:12No.
00:53:14That's not true.
00:53:16I don't believe it.
00:53:17You don't believe me?
00:53:18Then watch.
00:53:20Watch what happens when Julian leaves.
00:53:24Let's see if your exceptional Damien can keep everything perfect when Julian is not there to hold the world together
00:53:31for you.
00:53:33Come 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?
00:54:02No, no, no, Serena, Serena.
00:54:03Do not listen to her nonsense.
00:54:05Harper's success is based off of my hard work.
00:54:08Okay, Nora Lawson, she's just attacking and slandering my name to defend.
00:54:13Julian, 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 asking me to trust you?
00:54:27How?
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.
00:54:37I 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.
00:54:50It's Damian here.
00:54:50I hear the Grandview Plaza is taking bids and Harper Enterprise, you know, we would absolutely
00:54:55love.
00:54:57Harper Enterprise?
00:54:58Who the hell is that?
00:54:59Do you think you're even in the same league as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:04Mr. Foster, what do you mean?
00:55:07I mean, last time we spoke, you said that you believed in the Harper Enterprise and that
00:55:11you would love to work together.
00:55:13Listen up.
00:55:14That'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 flying dumbasses.
00:55:23Call me again and I'll block your fucking number.
00:55:26So what really was Julian?
00:55:28No, no.
00:55:28That's not possible.
00:55:30I don't believe that.
00:55:32I don't.
00:55:33Hello, Mr. Parker.
00:55:34It's Damian.
00:55:34I was hoping to talk about future collaborations.
00:55:37Damian?
00:55:38You've got the fucking nerve to call me?
00:55:40I gave Harper Enterprise Project because of Mr. Clark.
00:55:43And then you turned around and claimed you closed the deal?
00:55:47Who gave you the audacity?
00:55:50Shameless trash?
00:55:54Miss Parker.
00:55:56Miss Parker.
00:55:56No.
00:55:57No.
00:55:57God damn it.
00:55:58No, no.
00:55:59I don't believe this.
00:56:01I don't believe this fucking Julian this whole fucking time.
00:56:04God damn it.
00:56:06Sorry.
00:56:06Sorry.
00:56:07Hello?
00:56:09Mr. Turner.
00:56:10It's Damian.
00:56:11Damian?
00:56:11Who do you think you are, huh?
00:56:13Calling me directly?
00:56:14Learn some manners.
00:56:17Julian was polite enough to tolerate you playing sideman with his fiance.
00:56:21I'm not.
00:56:22You bastard too.
00:56:25Mr. Turner?
00:56:26Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:30What the fuck is happening?
00:56:38Miss Harper?
00:56:40This is bad.
00:56:41Our partners are flooding us with messages.
00:56:43They're suspending contracts, pulling out of deals.
00:56:46Wait, 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.
00:56:58It's Julian again.
00:57:03It's true.
00:57:04They only gave us deals because of Julian.
00:57:09Julian!
00:57:09No, no, no, no.
00:57:10Sweetie, please.
00:57:10Okay?
00:57:11They're just saying that because Julian has been paying them off.
00:57:14Think about it.
00:57:15Okay?
00:57:15You know what?
00:57:16Just give me 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, you fraud, Damien.
00:57:25All those CEOs, they only had you pick up contracts from them.
00:57:30And you told me you negotiated the deals.
00:57:34I swear.
00:57:35I didn't know that they would.
00:57:38Get out of my sight.
00:57:41Now!
00:57:59Walk!
00:58:00Damn it!
00:58:01No!
00:58:01I was this close to locking Serena down, stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:05I'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 ignored everything Julian did and worshipped a con artist like Damien.
00:58:59And now look at you.
00:59:03Projects gone.
00:59:06Company collapsing.
00:59:09Idiot.
00:59:11Arrogant.
00:59:12Stupid.
00:59:14Idiot.
00:59:15So stupid.
00:59:22Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:25I'm sorry.
00:59:32Stop, Serena.
00:59:33Serena, listen.
00:59:36I know I messed up.
00:59:39Move!
00:59:42Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:46I know, I know I was wrong.
00:59:49Look.
00:59:50Always damn Julian!
00:59:52Julian.
00:59:55Come back, okay?
00:59:58Please come back.
01:00:03Damn back.
01:00:09You don't have to be scared.
01:00:11Harper Enterprise is business, Queen.
01:00:13So much better than those cheap girls.
01:00:16Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine.
01:00:21Damien!
01:00:22You sick bastard!
01:00:24You sick bastard!
01:00:28You sick bastard!
01:00:29You really mean it.
01:00:31I love you.
01:00:32You fucking hell.
01:00:33Get off me.
01:00:34Hey, I'm telling you the truth.
01:00:35I mean it.
01:00:36Okay?
01:00:37I promise.
01:00:38I'll treat you well.
01:00:42You fucking monster.
01:00:44Get off me, please.
01:00:46I'm begging you, don't.
01:00:48Say yes.
01:00:50What are you doing?
01:00:54You fucking dead.
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.
01:01:03Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:05Keep fucking screaming.
01:01:07Right?
01:01:08You're not going to say no.
01:01:10I'm going to fuck you.
01:01:12Help!
01:01:14Help!
01:01:15Julian.
01:01:17Julian, help!
01:01:21Get him out of here!
01:01:22Stop!
01:01:23Let me go!
01:01:24Julian knows where you fucking lands.
01:01:26This isn't over.
01:01:32Julian, please.
01:01:33Thank God, you came and you had like...
01:01:35We 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.
01:01:48Yes, sir.
01:01:50Julian.
01:01:51I'm sorry.
01:01:53I know.
01:01:54I was wrong.
01:01:55I just...
01:01:57Please come back.
01:01:59Julian.
01:02:00Our reservation is in ten minutes.
01:02:02Let's go.
01:02:06Let's go.
01:02:11Serena.
01:02:12I told you over and over and over again that Damien was not a good man and you refused to
01:02:23listen.
01:02:25And Julian, if Julian doesn't come along just at the right time, oh 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'll live to regret it.
01:02:40Dad, Grandpa, please.
01:02:42Stop.
01:02:43I 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.
01:03:19He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:22We'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.
01:04:16No questions asked.
01:04:17But first, you have to accept the gift.
01:04:21Not really.
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, housed me
01:04:44by now.
01:04:45Don't tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:49Hung up?
01:04:51You're not going to be hung up on Serena.
01:04:53She 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 go with them twice.
01:05:03But I don't have time.
01:05:05My family is preparing to send me off into a European alliance.
01:05:11Some old money.
01:05:13Perfect match they can show off at Gallus.
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 get rid of me
01:05:24permanently.
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.
01:05:56Okay.
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.
01:06:05I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:07But can you help me out?
01:06:11Um, my hands are getting hurt.
01:06:14I'm so impatient.
01:06:19It's like you said, if I accept the gift, then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:31Then be gentle.
01:06:40Julian, you didn't forget what you promised last night, right?
01:06:45Uh, no.
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, you kind of remember that for the rest of your life.
01:06:56Details.
01:06:57Details.
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.
01:07:14Julian, 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.
01:07:26I'll do anything.
01:07:27I'm sorry.
01:07:27I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:32Boyfriend?
01:07:38Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:07:42Well, Julian hates them too.
01:07:44And yet you 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.
01:08:07But if you don't, I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:13Come on.
01:08:15We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:17Let's not be late.
01:08:19Wedding outfits.
01:08:22Let's go.
01:08:27Let's go.
01:08:36So, how did it go?
01:08:38Julian?
01:08:40He'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.
01:08:54The 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.
01:09:11Miss Harper, finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:14Harper 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 Warstreet knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:28That was going to lend to us now.
01:09:30How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:32This is my fault, okay?
01:09:34I 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.
01:09:52Grandpa.
01:09:53I'm so sorry.
01:09:54I ruined Harper Enterprise.
01:09:57I ruined everything.
01:09:59Dad.
01:10:00You'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.
01:10:21They 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.
01:10:45Serena, 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.
01:11:06Thank you, Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:27Perfect timing.
01:11:29They'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?
01:11:42Mr. 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.
01:11:49Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:51You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:11:55Then please leave.
01:11:57Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:12:04If there's an engagement party, that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:13And that means we're done.
01:12:16There'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?
01:12:51What is it?
01:12:53Oh, it's nothing.
01:12:54Come on, dinner's almost right.
01:12:56Shh.
01:13:09Dad, the Harpers.
01:13:12My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:17For a young one,
01:13:19and six months at Harper Enterprise,
01:13:22it was a total humiliation.
01:13:25We've shown that Harper had 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, okay?
01:13:53Just let me drink.
01:13:54I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:57I, Ralph Tarper 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.
01:14:16Nora.
01:14:19Okay, Nora.
01:14:21Be honest.
01:14:22You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:24You just got engaged,
01:14:26and you're getting married next week?
01:14:29Let's see.
01:14:30You've known Julian for 20-plus years.
01:14:33You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:14:35I'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?
01:14:43From 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?
01:14:57But Julian and Serena were forced into that.
01:14:59There's no real love.
01:15:00Why will Julian hesitate?
01:15:02What are you afraid of?
01:15:04You don't get it.
01:15:06Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months,
01:15:10and it wasn't just because he's grandfather watery.
01:15:12Then why?
01:15:16Because 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 type.
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.
01:15:57I cannot give her a single chance.
01:15:59So that's what it was.
01:16:01Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:16:04because I'm his type.
01:16:05He likes me.
01:16:07That means I 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, they 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.
01:17:15Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:18Who is that?
01:17:20Is 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.
01:17:54Okay?
01:17:55Just please.
01:17:56Give me another chance.
01:18:01Our 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?
01:18:11No, please.
01:18:12I'll do anything.
01:18:13Just stop.
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?
01:18:38I know you like me.
01:18:39So why won't you give me another chance?
01:18:41Why?
01:18:42Why?
01:18:43Why?
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.
01:18:59See, what you want is not a chance, but a tool.
01:19:04You want me back so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:08No, that, that, that's not true.
01:19:12Just please, listen, please, listen.
01:19:15Enough, Serena.
01:19:17When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise, do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:22Let 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.
01:19:36You'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.
01:19:48No.
01:19:49No, Julian, that, that's not me.
01:19:53Just admit it, Serena.
01:19:55You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:57But on my wedding day, you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:20:00Why?
01:20:01Because 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.
01:20:12No.
01:20:13No, Julian.
01:20:15That is not true tonight.
01:20:17That you saved me from Damien.
01:20:20I...
01:20:22I felt something for you.
01:20:24I did.
01:20:25Stop.
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, when 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?
01:21:28Get her out.
01:21:29No, no.
01:21:30No, please don't, Julian.
01:21:32Don't, don't.
01:21:33I'm begging you.
01:21:34Just please let me explain.
01:21:36Please.
01:21:37Please.
01:21:37Let me.
01:21:37Please.
01:21:38Stop.
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.
01:21:45Turns out, she just realized without Julian, she can't stay on top.
01:21:49She used Julian's feelings like a weapon.
01:21:51Totally vampire-drained him dry.
01:21:54Crashing a wedding like that?
01:22:23Mr. Clark!
01:22:42I'm sure you've all heard.
01:22:44Harper Enterprise, effective today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:48So, we're all being terminated.
01:22:51What?
01:22:52Oh, Mr. 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.
01:23:02Congratulations.
01:23:03You've had 15 years to make this company clean.
01:23:05Instead, you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:09You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:12I've seen how you all work.
01:23:16Bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud.
01:23:23Everyone beat us a file.
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 them.
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 now?
01:23:55Satisfied?
01:23:57Thomas 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, why don't you get 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.
01:24:31I won't accept it.
01:24:33Julian, watch out!
01:24:34Julian!
01:24:39Let me go!
01:24:40Fucking let me go!
01:24:41I already spared you.
01:24:42You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:45Go on, take him to the police.
01:24:46Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:47I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:48Fucking 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!
01:24:55Let the guards go!
01:24:56You don't have the fucking guts, do you?
01:25:02Hey, Julian.
01:25:03What was that?
01:25:05Just taking out the trash.
01:25:08Are you done here?
01:25:10No.
01:25:11Let's go.
01:25:18I was wrong.
01:25:20Julian, I was wrong.
01:25:23Julian, I was wrong.
