03:45Get him off me! I'll triple your bonuses! Just kill him!
04:08Stop right there!
04:11Two local cops pushed through the crowd. They surveyed the trashed restaurant, completely annoyed.
04:17But the second they spotted, Chase bleeding on the floor, their faces dropped.
04:22Mr. Thorne? Oh my god, sir, what happened here?
04:27He practically tripped over himself trying to help Chase up.
04:31Chase saw the badge and immediately played the victim.
04:33He pointed at Julian and me.
04:35Officer Davis! These tourists are psycho!
04:39Refused to pay my tab, then jumped us!
04:42Look at my face! Look at my employee!
04:45The big cop barely glanced at our bruises. He marched over and got right in my face.
04:50Who the hell do you think you are? Starting to brawl in broad daylight?
04:54You think you can touch Quintec's staff and get away with it?
04:57He cornered us for his dinner bill. He threw the first punch.
05:04Bullshit!
05:05I offered them a favor!
05:07I told them they could cover my check, and they snapped!
05:10Started claiming, this guy is my CEO's husband, throwing around fake Wall Street names.
05:16I don't care who started it!
05:19Look at this place!
05:20You beat him up, you trashed the joint, you're at fault!
05:23Let me spell it out for you.
05:24In Silicon Valley, everyone bows down to Quintec.
05:27Mr. Thorne here works directly for the CEO. You touch him, you spit in Quintec's face.
05:32And that means you're messing with the rules of this entire city!
05:35The skinny cop pulled out his handcuffs and rattled them.
05:38Save the sob story. You're going to County Holden.
05:41Oh, and you're paying Mr. Thorne's tab.
05:44Plus the restaurant damages, medical bills, and emotional distress.
05:48Get on your knees, beg Mr. Thorne for forgiveness, and maybe we don't lock you up.
05:52Are you kidding me? He started the trouble, and you just blindly convict us?
05:57Damn right I do! You know why? Because you're a nobody!
06:01You're in our town, you play by our rules!
06:05Mr. Thorne letting you pay his tab was a damn privilege!
06:08Stop whining like a little bitch!
06:10I'd love to see if your local rules can hold up against federal law.
06:14Oh, we got a tough guy.
06:17Looks like you need a hard lesson.
06:19I dodged him. He lost it. He ripped his taser from his belt and sparked it.
06:24Want to do this the hard way?
06:28Enjoy the ride, asshole!
06:3250,000 volts ripped through my body.
06:35My muscles locked up. I almost collapsed.
06:38Julian caught me just in time.
06:40You badge-wearing pieces of shit! This is abuse of power!
06:45Abuse of power? This is official police business.
06:48The big cop pulled his taser too, aiming it right at Julian.
06:52Quintex business is our business.
06:55You arrogant punks need to learn respect!
06:58He pulled the trigger. Julian grunted as the prongs hit him.
07:02The smell of burnt fabric hit the air.
07:04You corrupt lapdogs.
07:07You're gonna regret this.
07:11Regret it?
07:13You can cry back a regret when you're getting your ass beat in cell block D every single day.
07:17He used the taser to take Julian's chin up.
07:19He turned back to Chase, instantly switching back to his sickeningly sweet.
07:23How's that, Mr. Thorne?
07:25Was that enough juice?
07:27I can hit him again if you want?
07:28Juice him again.
07:30Show them exactly who runs this city.
07:33The big cop kicked me while I was down.
07:35Then he bowed his head to Chase again.
07:37Hey, Mr. Thorne, quick question.
07:39When's Ms. Quinn's due date?
07:40Me and my partner here want to send a nice gift basket.
07:43You know, to properly congratulate you and the CEO?
07:47Yeah, absolutely.
07:48We'd love to celebrate with you.
07:50Maybe with the new baby coming,
07:52Ms. Quinn might need some extra security.
07:55Maybe put in a good word for us?
07:57Chase smirked, completely full of himself.
07:59About four or five months out.
08:01Ultrasound confirmed it.
08:02It's a boy.
08:03Harper is pregnant.
08:05The words hit me harder than the taser.
08:08I just got back to the city after a six-month business trip overseas.
08:14Harper is pregnant.
08:16Four to five months.
08:18The math hit my brain.
08:19My blood ran ice cold.
08:21Then, it boiled.
08:22We've been married for two years.
08:24She kept stringing me along,
08:26saying she was too busy with the company to have kids.
08:30I forced myself up off the floor.
08:32The skinny cop saw me moving.
08:33He jammed the taser right into the back of my neck.
08:36The world went pitch black.
08:38My knees buckled.
08:40Chase grabbed a heavy wooden stool.
08:42He raised it over my head,
08:44ready to smash my skull in.
08:45Right at that moment,
08:47a sound echoed from the restaurant entrance.
08:49The sharp, rapid click of designer heels.
08:55Harper stepped into the wrecked restaurant.
08:57She didn't even blink at the broken glass.
08:59But when her eyes landed on Chase,
09:01her whole demeanor softened.
09:04Oh, my God, Chase.
09:05Baby, what happened?
09:07Who did this to you?
09:08Harper, thank God you're here.
09:10These two are psycho.
09:12They assaulted us,
09:14attacked the cops,
09:15and this guy even claimed to be your husband.
09:19Mrs. Quinn.
09:20Perfect timing.
09:21These nobodies started the trouble,
09:23disrespected you and Mr. Thorne.
09:25We're handling it by the book.
09:28Carter,
09:30I completely underestimated you.
09:32You go on a six-month work trip
09:33and come back a street thug,
09:35and the trash you hang out with.
09:37Coming to my city to start trouble?
09:39You think Quintech is a joke?
09:42Let me ask you something, Harper.
09:46Why is your VP telling everyone he's your husband?
09:49And why is he cornering strangers into paying his dinner tab?
09:52Harper stared at me for a moment.
09:54Then she turned to the cop,
09:56her tone demanding.
09:57Officer Davis,
09:58tell me exactly what happened.
09:59The big cop didn't miss a beat.
10:01Mrs. Quinn,
10:02it's sickening.
10:04This guy recognized Mr. Thorne,
10:07barged right over,
10:09demanding to pay his check,
10:11trying to kiss ass and network.
10:13Mr. Thorne politely declined.
10:16But this punk wouldn't take no for an answer.
10:19Kept bragging about how rich he is.
10:22Said rejecting his money was a total insult.
10:25Yeah, we got witnesses.
10:27When Mr. Thorne stood his ground,
10:29this guy completely lost it.
10:32Said Mr. Thorne was trash.
10:34Said he wasn't worthy of Quintech.
10:36Then he just snapped and attacked him.
10:38Are you shitting me?
10:41There he cornered us.
10:42Shut your mouth.
10:43You don't get to speak.
10:45You egged him on.
10:46You egged him on.
10:47If you hadn't been running your mouth,
10:49none of this would have happened.
10:52Harper,
10:53I know he just wanted to rub elbows with the higher ups,
10:57but he crossed a line.
10:59When I wouldn't let him pay the bill,
11:00he went crazy.
11:02Threatened to tear down Quintech.
11:07Carter,
11:08I didn't know you could be this pathetic.
11:11You wanted a handout from my team?
11:13You wanted to desperately climb the ladder,
11:15and when they shut you down,
11:17you threw a violent tantrum like a toddler?
11:20Did you lose your damn mind on that trip?
11:23Someone won't let you buy them dinner,
11:25so you assault them?
11:27Have you no shame?
11:28I didn't...
11:29Save it!
11:30The police just told me everything.
11:32You are unbelievable.
11:35You're so used to living off my dime.
11:37You suck up to everyone you see.
11:39They reject you,
11:41and you snap.
11:42Why the hell did I ever marry you?
11:45Harper,
11:46don't let him upset you.
11:47He probably just lost his head for a second.
11:49Lost his head?
11:50Please.
11:51This is his true nature.
11:54Officers,
11:55process them.
11:56I want every cent of damages paid in full.
12:00Let's see how he pays for this.
12:03My throat tightened.
12:05Fine.
12:08Damages.
12:09Name your price.
12:10Harper left.
12:11A cruel,
12:12mocking laugh.
12:13She looked me up and down.
12:15Five million dollars.
12:17Can you cover that?
12:18You probably couldn't even scrape together ten grand if you begged.
12:21Julian didn't say a word.
12:23He just pulled out his phone.
12:25Five mil?
12:26Wait for it.
12:28Text my dad too.
12:29My phone's smashed.
12:32Look at this clown flexing.
12:34Five million?
12:36From you two broke losers?
12:38You're under arrest.
12:39Stop wasting my time.
12:40Put your hands behind your back.
12:42We'll see who's laughing when you're locked up.
12:45We're doing this the hard way.
12:48What's the rush?
12:49The money's on the way.
12:52On the way?
12:53From who?
12:54Your dad?
12:56What's he gonna do?
12:57Pawn his construction tool belt to bail you out?
13:02Enough!
13:04I'm taking you down right now!
13:06Just as he raised the cups,
13:08a deafening roar erupted from outside.
13:10The windows rattled.
13:12The ground beneath our feet began to tremble.
13:14Julian and I looked out the restaurant doors.
13:19Here they are.
13:23Everyone rushed to the windows.
13:25In the distance,
13:26a helicopter bearing the Sterling family crest
13:29was flying toward them.
13:30A convoy of 15 blacked-out SUVs rolled up.
13:33Leading the pack
13:34was an extended wheelbase, Rolls-Royce Phantom.
13:37The vibration under our feet grew stronger.
13:39Chase's smug smile completely dissolved.
13:42What the hell is happening?
13:44The chopper hovered over the restaurant's parking lot.
13:46The SUV door swung open in unison.
13:49Dozens of elite private security operatives
13:51stepped out.
13:52Tailored black suits.
13:54White gloves.
13:55Two older men in impeccable three-piece suits
13:57led the charge.
13:58They marched into the restaurant,
14:00their eyes scanning the wreckage,
14:02when they saw Julian and me bleeding on the floor.
14:04The temperature in the room plummeted.
14:06The Sterling family's steward, Arthur,
14:09rushed straight to Julian.
14:11Seeing the bruises on him,
14:12he immediately asked,
14:14Julian, are you all right?
14:15My family's steward, Thomas.
14:18His voice was tight with anger.
14:20Carter,
14:21I am so sorry you had to endure this.
14:26Chase and the two cops were paralyzed,
14:29all their arrogant barking from just a second ago.
14:32Gone,
14:32Julian calmly dusted off his ruined jacket.
14:35Arthur,
14:36did you bring the cash?
14:38Ms. Quinn here demanded five million.
14:41Let her count it.
14:43Two operatives stepped forward
14:44and placed heavy,
14:45reinforced briefcases on the nearest intact table.
14:48The cases snapped open.
14:50Stacks of crisp,
14:51hundred dollar bills,
14:53row after row of cold,
14:54hard cash.
14:55It was blinding.
14:57Chase's knees literally gave out.
14:59He collapsed against a chair.
15:00The big cop and the skinny cop
15:02looked like they had seen a ghost.
15:04Their faces went ash white,
15:05lips trembling.
15:06They couldn't form a single word.
15:08Thomas raised a hand.
15:10Another team of my operatives marched in
15:12with identical briefcases.
15:14Mrs. Quinn,
15:15the five million you requested,
15:17one from the Vance family,
15:19one from the Sterlings.
15:21However,
15:22the watch smashed on Carter's wrist
15:25is a bespoke Pater Philippe,
15:27valued at roughly $7 million.
15:29Julian's ruined jacket
15:31is a custom Savvy road piece.
15:33Replacement cost,
15:34$8 million.
15:35Adding medical expenses
15:36and emotional distress
15:38for both gentlemen,
15:39the total comes to
15:40an even $20 million.
15:44I assume we'll be wiring that
15:47directly from Quintex's accounts.
15:49Behind her,
15:50the Quintex staff
15:51was completely shook.
15:52The guys laughing earlier,
15:53huddled up.
15:55Julian took a silk handkerchief
15:57from Arthur
15:57and slowly wiped the blood
15:59from his mouth.
16:00And as for you two officers,
16:01abuse of power.
16:03Police brutality
16:04aiding a fraudulent shakedown!
16:07I'm gonna make sure
16:08your entire department
16:09burns for this.
16:11Oh, by the way,
16:14extortion,
16:15aggravated assault.
16:16With successive sentencing,
16:18that's easily a decade behind bars.
16:21Enjoy the food and county.
16:22Harper's eyes were glued to me.
16:24She looked at me
16:25like I was a total stranger.
16:27Carter,
16:28what is all this?
16:30Since when,
16:31since when do you have
16:32this kind of money?
16:33I looked at her shattered expression.
16:35And suddenly,
16:36my mind flashed back
16:37to that winter back in college.
16:41I still remember her
16:42outside the campus library,
16:44freezing in a beat-up winter coat,
16:46huddled over her notes,
16:48nursing a stale bagel for lunch.
16:50I walked up
16:50and handed her a hot drink.
16:52She flushed,
16:53pushed it away,
16:53and insisted she wasn't cold.
16:55Later,
16:56I found out
16:56she was working three jobs,
16:58scraping together tuition,
17:00and paying for her mom's medical bills.
17:02One time,
17:03her professor
17:04completely shredded
17:04her startup proposal.
17:06She sat by the track field
17:07and cried for hours.
17:09I sat down next to her
17:10and asked,
17:11What if I just ask my family
17:12to fund the whole thing for you?
17:14She snapped her head up.
17:15Her eyes were completely red,
17:17but she glared at me.
17:19Carter,
17:19what kind of girl
17:20do you think I am?
17:21I would rather starve
17:22than take a handout,
17:24especially trust fund money.
17:26I'm building this myself.
17:28I don't need your pity.
17:29We had a huge fight that day.
17:31Said she hated guys born
17:33with a silver spoon.
17:34Said I would never understand her pride.
17:36After that,
17:37I never brought up my family again.
17:39When her startup's funding chain broke down,
17:41I anonymously wired $30 million
17:43to keep it afloat.
17:45When her competitors tried to crush her,
17:47I had my father's connections
17:49quietly bail her out.
17:50She always bragged about her good luck.
17:52She never knew I was the one
17:54behind every bit of that luck.
17:55But then Harper got rich.
17:57And she completely lost herself.
17:59She grew cold.
18:00Shut me out of the business completely.
18:03Acted like I was only after her money.
18:05I kept telling myself.
18:06She'd come to her senses
18:07once the company took off.
18:09But she was in such a rush.
18:10She went out
18:11and basically bought herself a side piece.
18:13You never asked.
18:14I pulled myself out of the memory.
18:16My voice was dead calm.
18:18You preached about hating handouts.
18:20You wanted to do it all by yourself.
18:23So I let you play pretend.
18:25So, wait.
18:26Quintech?
18:27My entire company?
18:30Is all because of you?
18:33Does it even matter now?
18:37You used to say you despised cheaters.
18:39Now you've got a side piece
18:41on the company payroll.
18:42You cried about big guys
18:43crushing the little guys.
18:45Now you let your VP
18:46shake down innocent people
18:47for dinner money.
18:48You despised corruption.
18:49Yet you stood right there
18:51and watched dirty cops frame me.
18:53I paused
18:54looking at a face
18:55I didn't even recognize anymore.
18:57Harper
18:59our problem was never the money.
19:01It's that you turned into
19:02everything you used to hate.
19:03I turned to Thomas.
19:06Call Vance Global.
19:08Pull every single cent
19:09of our funding
19:10out of Quintech immediately
19:12and tell the legal team
19:13to draft the breach
19:14of contract notices.
19:15Thomas nodded.
19:16He pulled out his phone
19:17and started dialing.
19:18Harper lunged forward
19:19to stop him.
19:20No!
19:21But the security operatives
19:22instantly blocked her.
19:23She stared at me
19:24in pure panic.
19:25Carter you can't do this.
19:28Quintech is my life's work.
19:32If you pull the funding
19:33the company will go under.
19:35Your life's work?
19:39How much of that work
19:40was actually yours?
19:41Her face went completely pale.
19:43Her lips trembled
19:44but no words came out.
19:46And one more thing.
19:47I looked at the lawyer
19:48standing behind Thomas.
19:50Draft the divorce papers
19:51right now.
19:53We'll follow the prenup.
19:54I walk away with nothing.
19:56I remembered something
19:57and added.
19:58Oh actually no.
20:00One more thing.
20:01Trace back every share
20:02tied to those
20:03anonymous shell companies.
20:04That equity belongs
20:05to the Vance family.
20:07Understood Mr. Vance.
20:09Harper slumped to the floor.
20:10The arrogance
20:11was completely gone.
20:13She looked up at me.
20:14Eyes filled with desperate
20:15ugly regret.
20:16No please.
20:17I was wrong.
20:19I was so wrong.
20:20Just one chance please.
20:23Chase is gone.
20:24I'll fire him right now.
20:25And the baby.
20:26I won't keep it.
20:28I'll handle it.
20:29I swear.
20:30I'll...
20:30Save it.
20:31Your baby.
20:32Your company.
20:34Your life.
20:35I don't care anymore.
20:36Julian had been
20:37completely silent
20:38this whole time.
20:39Suddenly
20:39he kicked the
20:40solid wood table
20:41next to him.
20:42The leg snapped in half.
20:43He rubbed the
20:44taser burn on his arm.
20:46Now that your little
20:47family drama is over
20:49it's time to talk
20:50about my business.
20:53Julian turned
20:54to his security team.
20:55Lock this dump down.
20:57Not a single fly
20:58gets out.
20:59Everyone here
20:59who threw a punch
21:00or cheered them on
21:00nobody walks.
21:02The guy who kicked
21:03my gut
21:03the rat who tasered me
21:05the loud mouth
21:06who mocked my father
21:07drag him out.
21:08I swear to God
21:09if any of you
21:11walk out of here
21:12on your own two feet
21:13I'm dropping
21:14my family name
21:15and these pieces
21:16of shit
21:17you were all
21:18so tough
21:18earlier
21:20break their legs
21:21dump them
21:22in the Hudson.
21:22Chase was scared
21:23shitless.
21:24No!
21:24Please!
21:25Mrs. Quinn save me!
21:27Harper save me!
21:28Harper saved me!
21:28Harper opened
21:29her mouth to plead
21:30but Julian shot
21:31her a dead-eyed look.
21:32You want to turn?
21:33She froze instantly
21:34deathly pale.
21:36She didn't know
21:36East Coast money
21:37but she knew
21:38anyone who could
21:39call in a chopper
21:40wasn't someone to cross.
21:42Julian's operatives
21:43moved fast.
21:44Within minutes
21:45the suited goons
21:46the loud mouth employees
21:47and the two dirty cops
21:49were pinned hard
21:50to the floor.
21:50An operative
21:51snatched the taser
21:52and jammed it
21:53into the skinny cop's back.
21:55He shrieked
21:55pulling into a tight ball
21:57screaming for mercy.
21:58And you.
22:01Julian walked over
22:02to the big cop
22:03and pinned the man's face
22:04to the floor
22:05with his shoe.
22:06You said we'd get beat
22:07every day in lockup?
22:09Now taste it.
22:11He tipped his chin
22:12at his men.
22:12Beat him to a pump.
22:14Just keep him breathing.
22:16Screams
22:16and the crashes
22:17of tables mixed together.
22:18Harper crouched
22:19on the floor
22:20covering her face
22:21crying
22:21but nobody
22:22even looked at her.
22:24I saw Julian's
22:25bloodshot eyes.
22:26He was genuinely pissed.
22:27A New York billionaire
22:28air getting humiliated
22:29by a startup VP.
22:31Enough.
22:33Nobody swallows that.
22:34I patted his shoulder.
22:36They aren't worth
22:36dirtying your hands over.
22:38Julian glanced down
22:39at the groaning bodies.
22:41Today's your lucky day.
22:43Hand them over
22:43to the authorities.
22:45Lock them up.
22:47Squeeze them
22:47for every cent.
22:48If they're short a dime
22:49make their families
22:51crawl to New York
22:52and beg me.
22:53He grabbed my arm
22:54and pulled me
22:54toward the door.
22:55We're out.
22:56This dump is cursed.
23:00I heard about
23:01the fallout later.
23:02Chase got the worst of it.
23:03With the Sterlings
23:04and my family
23:05pressing down.
23:06His so-called
23:07VP title
23:08made him
23:08completely radioactive.
23:09To save themselves
23:11Quintec
23:12fired him
23:12immediately
23:13and sued him
23:14for embezzlement
23:14and corporate sabotage.
23:16Those employees
23:17who used to kiss his ass
23:18they threw him
23:19under the bus
23:20handing over
23:21every piece of evidence
23:22to save their own skin.
23:24Stack charges
23:25he got 12 years
23:26in federal prison.
23:27The two dirty cops
23:28didn't fare any better.
23:30The evidence of corruption
23:31went straight
23:31to internal affairs.
23:33They were suspended
23:34without pay
23:34on day one.
23:35Their precinct
23:36captain threw them
23:37to the wolves
23:37to save his own pension.
23:39Stripped of their badges
23:40convicted of
23:41aggravated assault
23:42Quintec collapsed
23:43faster than anyone expected.
23:45Once Vance Global
23:46pulled our funding
23:47every other investor
23:48bailed.
23:49The cash flow
23:50evaporated overnight.
23:51Rivals poached
23:52Harper's core team
23:53and stole her contracts.
23:54She tried to call in favors
23:56but she was
23:57completely radioactive.
23:58Nobody on the west coast
23:59was stupid enough
24:00to cross New York money.
24:04Three months later
24:05Harper went from
24:06Silicon Valley royalty
24:07to millions in debt.
24:09Word is
24:09someone spotted her
24:10under a freeway overpass
24:12on the west coast
24:13looking completely haggard.
24:15As for the goons
24:16and the loudmouth employees
24:17Julian didn't actually
24:19dump them in the Hudson
24:20but he ruined them.
24:21The guards got their arms
24:22broken and were
24:23run out of the state.
24:25The employees were
24:25blacklisted from the
24:26tech industry entirely.
24:28They'll never forget
24:29the sight of that cash
24:30or the roar of that chopper
24:32for the rest of their
24:32miserable lives.
24:34Leaving that wrecked
24:34restaurant
24:35Julian and I got
24:36straight on the chopper.
24:37He was rubbing
24:38his taser burn
24:39cursing about how
24:40ridiculous the west coast
24:42rules were.
24:43I didn't say a word.
24:44I just watched the city
24:45shrink below us.
24:47Any lingering feeling
24:48I had for Harper
24:49completely vanished
24:50into the clouds.
24:51Back in New York
24:52the Sterlings used
24:53a major summit
24:54to rattle the cages
24:55of the tech circles
24:56that backed Harper.
24:57Julian is fiercely protective.
24:59If you mess with him
25:00he burns your whole
25:01ecosystem down.
25:03For my family
25:04pulling out of Quintech
25:05was just a flick
25:06of the wrist.
25:07My dad called me home
25:08when he heard I got hurt.
25:10He looked at the bruise
25:11on my neck and called me soft.
25:12But the next day
25:13he had his legal team drop.
25:16The divorce and equity
25:17clawback papers
25:18write on Harper's lap.
25:21She broke down
25:22crying in bankruptcy court
25:23when she got served.
25:25But tears don't pay bills.
25:26The Vance family
25:27took back every single cent.
25:29Six months later
25:30I ran into Julian
25:31at a global merger signing.
25:33Tailored suit.
25:34Charming some
25:35European billionaires.
25:36The scar on his arm
25:37was completely gone.
25:38He saw me walk in.
25:40Smirked.
25:41And bumped my shoulder.
25:42Heard Harper is running
25:43a small convenience store
25:44in the suburbs now.
25:45Heavily pregnant.
25:47Tragic.
25:50Not our problem.
25:52He raised an eyebrow
25:53but didn't push it.
25:54After the event
25:55we walked out
25:56of the venue together.
25:58His Maybach
25:58and my Bentley
25:59were waiting at the curb.
26:00The night breeze hit us.
26:02Real talk.
26:03Getting lit up
26:04by those local cops.
26:06Most embarrassing
26:07shit of my life.
26:08Same here.
26:09I thought about
26:10getting pinned to that floor
26:11and I laughed too.
26:13Lesson learned.
26:14Not everyone
26:15deserves our humility.
26:17He slapped my back.
26:18Come on.
26:19Drinks at my place.
26:20My old man
26:20just flew in
26:21a few cases
26:21of 82 Lafrat.
26:23A late celebration
26:24for your freedom.
26:26Pulling away
26:26from the hotel
26:27I caught the city lights
26:29glowing in the rear view.
26:30I used to think
26:31marriage
26:31was about walking
26:32side by side.
26:33Now I know
26:34some people
26:34are just a temporary chapter.
26:36Julian and I
26:37were moving on
26:38to bigger things
26:39and better views.
26:40After all
26:41the person
26:42who can bring us
26:43to our knees
26:43hasn't even taken
26:45their first breath.
