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 ARK's valuation.
00:00:23I need you to buy the stock, or I told you to sell it.
00:00:27You gotta do this now.
00:00:28This isn't some random dip. Whoever's shorting us came prepared. They're tearing us apart.
00:00:33We 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. Shit.
00:00:55Give me a sec.
00:01:01Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:04Good, good, yeah. I just need to ask for a little favor.
00:01:12Julian, you saved my ass last time. I owe you. I'm moving liquidity to Harper now.
00:01:24The stock price is recovering. How 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. Called in all hands. All department leads. Conference room in ten minutes. Chairman's orders.
00:01:42Why would Damien call in the meeting? He despises you. Watch your back.
00:02:16I'll be right back.
00:02:17We eventually neutralized the short attack against Harper and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:21Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:29Since when does Damien know how to take over from a hole in the ground?
00:02:33He must have stole this win from someone else.
00:02:35Remember what he did to Anthony from investments?
00:02:37Damien took credit for his deal.
00:02:39Anthony pushed back and Damien used his pool with 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, the least that every single one of you
00:02:55can do.
00:02:55Damien!
00:02:59Of course.
00:03:01Questions?
00:03:02I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:10Julian, the company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:15Pirate may be!
00:03:16Keep sharing, I'm listening.
00:03:21This conference room isn't your goddamn gaming lounge!
00:03:25Wait, I'm sorry everyone.
00:03:27I forgot.
00:03:29You're just the resident good for nothing.
00:03:31My strategy is you probably couldn't comprehend them, let alone ask a decent goddamn question.
00:03:39Well, since you're so keen on getting my contribution, let's start with a question.
00:03:44Which funds were behind the short attack?
00:03:46And what was their distinct objective?
00:03:48And what specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:50Doesn't matter.
00:03:52What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:53You can't even name the enemy?
00:03:55Alright, fine.
00:03:56Next question.
00:03:58Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights?
00:04:00And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:03Well...
00:04:05Well...
00:04:08Well...
00:04:08Well...
00:04:10You can't even name the basics.
00:04:12Alright.
00:04:12So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room,
00:04:16the countermeasures for a potential proxy fight,
00:04:18or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:24Let's be real.
00:04:26You are nothing but a glory hound who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees the video.
00:04:40You, a useless, game-addicted fucking loser, dare to question me?
00:04:45You know what, Clark?
00:04:46You're fucking fired!
00:04:48Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:59You hear that, Dad?
00:05:01I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:06Understood.
00:05:08Now, the hearing's not enough.
00:05:09I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company.
00:05:11Now.
00:05:16You took our family's market cap and raised it to $3 trillion.
00:05:22You proved everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:24Now, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:27I deserve 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.
00:05:37Feelings could grow, Brett.
00:05:39Our families go way better.
00:05:40Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:43My life.
00:05:44My choice.
00:05:45Look, when it comes to choosing my partner, I want to make sure that-
00:05:47Enough!
00:05:48Oh, that's it.
00:05:49You're going to do this.
00:05:51I've already arranged everything.
00:05:53You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:56Go work with Serena.
00:05:58And date her properly, hmm?
00:06:02You'll refuse.
00:06:04Okay.
00:06:05Nurse.
00:06:06Dr. Ann.
00:06:07Check it out.
00:06:08My own grandson won't listen.
00:06:09What's the point?
00:06:10Okay.
00:06:10Let the heart attack take me now.
00:06:12Okay.
00:06:12All right.
00:06:13I'll go.
00:06:15I know what I've been asking.
00:06:17For years, you've carried this family on your back.
00:06:21We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:24The Harper's never in trouble.
00:06:26We do not abandon our own.
00:06:29Use that brilliant head of yours and help them.
00:06:34Please.
00:06:35For me.
00:06:36Fine.
00:06:37I'll do it.
00:06:40I hear you.
00:06:47For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked.
00:06:50Using 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 this city's business world.
00:07:00And for what?
00:07:01So she could give my triumphs and victories to that sycophant Damien?
00:07:06It's time to come home.
00:07:13You asked for my opinion and you couldn't handle it.
00:07:16So pathetic.
00:07:17I said you're fired.
00:07:19Get your shit and get the fuck out of my throat.
00:07:21I heard you.
00:07:22I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay and then I'm gone.
00:07:25I said now!
00:07:26Or else I'm going to call security and you're going to drag your ass out.
00:07:29Suit yourself.
00:07:30Julian, this is Harper Enterprise, not your family's playground.
00:07:36Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:39You will leave.
00:07:40Now, do not disrupt this company any further.
00:07:44Serena, 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.
00:07:50You 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 Beyonce 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.
00:08:30You broke my routine.
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 rate.
00:08:40Julian, that is enough.
00:08:42Disrupting proceedings?
00:08:43Assault?
00:08:44Destruction of property?
00:08:46As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:50Effective immediately.
00:08:51Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:53Serena, you broke my watch.
00:08:55The gift you got me for my birthday, he has to pay for it.
00:08:57Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:08:59Either pay up, or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:06Fine.
00:09:07I'll pay.
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 could fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:21A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:23He does have a point card.
00:09:25You break it, you buy it.
00:09:27That's the rule.
00:09:28Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:36Well, you gonna wire me the money?
00:09:38Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:40And if so, you can crawl out of here, and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:46So what if you're Serena's Beyonce?
00:09:50Look at her now.
00:09:50She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:54A million dollars.
00:09:56What's the final offer?
00:09:57What do you mean?
00:10:02Hi, I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:17I 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?
00:10:30Alright Julian, the 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, you heard that Julian?
00:10:42Your engagement's over.
00:10:43Now get out before I-
00:10:44Bro, get your hands off me!
00:10:49Put your fucking hands on me.
00:10:52You know what?
00:10:52I'm gonna wipe that smug-
00:10:53FUCKING LOOK OFF YOUR FACE!
00:10:59Enough!
00:11:04Mr. 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. Clark.
00:11:21The one million.
00:11:22As requested.
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?
00:11:53What?
00:11:54Delivered by Mr. Brooks?
00:11:55I mean...
00:11:56Wait, who are you?
00:12:00Much appreciated.
00:12:01You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:10Mr. Brooks.
00:12:10Sir.
00:12:11We are so honored by your visit.
00:12:14My grandfather, he speaks of you often.
00:12:16I'm sure he'd love to get a round of golf scheduled with you sometime.
00:12:21Mr. Clark.
00:12:23Is 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.
00:12:43I'm suspending the hundred million dollar deal.
00:12:45We'll reassess when there's, uh, adult supervision.
00:12:48Yes, sir.
00:12:49Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:53Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:55Let's see him explain this to the chairman.
00:12:57The chairman will have his head.
00:12:59This is all your fault, all right?
00:13:01You gotta fix this.
00:13:02You call him back here and get that loan reinstated, or I swear I'm gonna...
00:13:05You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.
00:13:08You're right.
00:13:08As for us...
00:13:12One million.
00:13:13In full.
00:13:14Which makes this watch...
00:13:19It's mine.
00:13:21You arrogant.
00:13:22Son of a bitch!
00:13:27I bet this is all the money that you have, isn't it?
00:13:29I bet you ought to sell your house to scrape this together, you fucking loser.
00:13:36But it's all mine now.
00:13:38Yeah, sure.
00:13:39The debt for the watch is settled.
00:13:40But can we talk about compensation for my laptop?
00:13:42That useless piece of junk, how much could that possibly be worth?
00:13:45I don't know.
00:13:47Maybe about...
00:13:48A hundred million?
00:13:50A hundred million dollars!
00:13:54For a laptop?
00:13:56Have you lost your mind?
00:13:59A hundred million.
00:14:00A hundred million.
00:14:00For a laptop.
00:14:02Julian.
00:14:03The law requires compensation for actual value.
00:14:06What's your 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?
00:14:15Huh?
00:14:16That's a concern.
00:14:17Enough!
00:14:18Julian.
00:14:20You know, I know you think you're right, but a stellar laptop costs a few thousand dollars?
00:14:26A hundred million dollars?
00:14:28I...
00:14:29Dream on.
00:14:30Sure, a standard stellar isn't worth that much, but this isn't a standard, is it?
00:14:34What is it, made of gold?
00:14:35Even then, it still wouldn't cost a hundred million fucking dollars.
00:14:39You know what?
00:14:40You need to get the fuck out of here!
00:14:49Mr. Sullivan!
00:14:51That's Bill Sullivan.
00:14:52SVP for Stellar.
00:14:54Here?
00:14:54You think it's about the three hundred million dollar partnership deal?
00:14:57Three hundred million?
00:14:58That's huge for us, but pocket change for Stellar.
00:15:01Why would Mr. Sullivan come in person?
00:15:03Mr. Sullivan.
00:15:05What an unexpected honor.
00:15:07I'm Serena Harper, CEO.
00:15:09What do we owe the...
00:15:10Mr. Clark.
00:15:11The security have detected an urgent impact alert from your device.
00:15:15And the signal originated here.
00:15:16People concerned for your safety and cater immediately.
00:15:19Mr. Sullivan's here for Julian, too?
00:15:21Because his laptop impact triggered an alarm?
00:15:24Unbelievable.
00:15:25Mr. Clark, are you alright?
00:15:27Yeah, I'm fine. It just...
00:15:28Took a fall.
00:15:31God.
00:15:32This damage is significant.
00:15:34With the custom components, preliminary repair estimate,
00:15:38this could be thirty million.
00:15:42Thirty million dollars?!
00:15:43No, no, no, no!
00:15:44To fix a fucking laptop?!
00:15:46That's impossible!
00:15:47There's no way!
00:15:48Are you questioning me?
00:15:49No, I just...
00:15:50I'll open your eyes.
00:15:51This is a one-off laptop,
00:15:53with Stellar's quantum processors and proprietary components.
00:15:56You better pray that those data partitions are intact,
00:15:59or 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.
00:16:08I mean, with our declarations, this is at least seventy million dollars.
00:16:12What?
00:16:14That's seventy million dollars?!
00:16:15What?!
00:16:16Mr. 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.
00:16:26Receipts for the hardware and the notarized value declarations for the data.
00:16:29See for yourself.
00:16:39Who carries around a hundred million dollar laptop?!
00:16:46Who exactly are you?
00:16:48You don't get to know.
00:16:50In fact, can we stay on topic about my compensation?
00:16:52And there's no way that there's a fucking laptop that cost a hundred million dollars!
00:16:56You know what? This is a fucking scam!
00:16:58These two, they're working together, I'm telling you, it's a con!
00:17:00Are you serious?
00:17:01I'm Blake Sullivan, I'm the senior vice president of Stellar.
00:17:05I don't fly across the city of Skim and nobody like you.
00:17:08Listen, I'm so...
00:17:09Ms. Harper, this is the employee you hire?
00:17:13He's a fool.
00:17:14And it speaks volumes about your company's judgment.
00:17:17Oh, by the way, our partnership deal?
00:17:20Consider it terminated.
00:17:21What?!
00:17:23Mr. Sullivan, please.
00:17:24Damien is just...
00:17:26He's stressy, he didn't mean...
00:17:28Save it.
00:17:29You take care of Mr. Clark's compensation first.
00:17:32And you, if you dispute evaluations, we can settle it in court.
00:17:35My legal team has 965 lawyers.
00:17:39I'd love to teach you a lesson.
00:17:43Stellar's legal team is legendary.
00:17:46He never lost.
00:17:47Damien can't fight this.
00:17:49Hell, the entire Harper Enterprise doesn't have the resources to fight this.
00:17:53He's done for.
00:17:55She may not help.
00:17:57Please.
00:18:02Please.
00:18:05Mr. Sullivan.
00:18:07Harper Enterprise will provide full compensation.
00:18:10Will that suffice?
00:18:11I'm just here to certify facts.
00:18:14You need to discuss details with the laptop owner.
00:18:18Full payment.
00:18:20In my account.
00:18:21Within three days.
00:18:23In that case.
00:18:24We're done here.
00:18:26Mr. Clark, you call me with anything else.
00:18:28I'll do it.
00:18:30Mr. Sullivan, are our partners-
00:18:31Ms. Harper.
00:18:32Get your house in order first.
00:18:34Stellar has standards.
00:18:36We don't partner with clown shows.
00:18:39That'll be all.
00:18:39Mr. Sullivan!
00:18:41That's funny.
00:18:42Damien's lucky, huh?
00:18:44A 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.
00:18:53Whether her father or Chairman Harper approve is none of your goddamn business.
00:18:57We don't need someone like you worrying about it.
00:18:59He's right.
00:19:01Julianna, I give you my word.
00:19:03The full amount will be paid within three days.
00:19:05But under one condition.
00:19:06Our engagement ends for good.
00:19:09And you will leave Harper Enterprise.
00:19:12Now.
00:19:13You hear that, Julian?
00:19:15You know, I'll admit it.
00:19:16Yeah, you got the money.
00:19:17But it's not about what you made.
00:19:18It's your family's fucking money.
00:19:19And now you're just a spoiled little trust fund baby who's been fired.
00:19:22So get the fuck out!
00:19:24Get the fuck out?
00:19:27One of us just torpedoed a hundred million dollar loan and a three hundred million dollar deal.
00:19:32Remind me, which one of us should actually get the fuck out?
00:19:35Serena, I think it is actually time to call your grandfather.
00:19:37He could definitely settle all of this.
00:19:43Stop. Stop!
00:19:48This boy toy thinks he has the fucking right to call Chairman Harper.
00:19:52Who gives you the goddamn right?
00:19:55Funny.
00:19:56Guy hides behind a woman to pay his bill.
00:19:59Remind me, which one of us is the real boy toy?
00:20:03You.
00:20:14Get the fuck out!
00:20:15Julian, I don't care what kind of connections you think you have.
00:20:18This is Harper Enterprise.
00:20:21I'm the one in charge here.
00:20:24Security, remove him.
00:20:28Julian, please, don't make us get physical.
00:20:31I'm the one Chairman Harper personally brought in.
00:20:33You really want to lay hands on me?
00:20:34Ha, ha, ha!
00:20:36Chairman Harper brought you in!
00:20:38Julian, have you lost your fucking mind?
00:20:41What do you think you want?
00:20:42You, you, you think you're fucking worth it?
00:20:44Julian, I've already given you more courtesy than you deserve.
00:20:47The more you cling on like this, the more disgusting you become to me.
00:20:52Do it.
00:20:55It looks like I don't need that phone call.
00:20:57Still running your mouth, huh?
00:20:59Move.
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, out of here.
00:21:13Now!
00:21:14Dad?
00:21:14Grandpa?
00:21:15What are you doing here?
00:21:21Julian.
00:21:22I've been filled in on everything that's, that's gone on today.
00:21:26I know that you've been wronged by this guy.
00:21:31Please accept my apology for everything.
00:21:35Chairman Harper apologizing to Julian?
00:21:38Grandpa, what are you doing?
00:21:42Chairman Harper, he's, he's a loser who's addicted to playing games.
00:21:46How could you possibly?
00:21:47Shut up!
00:21:56How dare you disrespect Julian?
00:21:58Dad, I don't care what kind of background Julian has.
00:22:00You can't just hit people!
00:22:02I wish we hit him more.
00:22:04Serena, do you even have any idea who Julian Clark is?
00:22:08We didn't tell you everything because of your ego.
00:22:11And I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
00:22:12We were going to announce everything once the engagement was formally set.
00:22:17But who knew?
00:22:18Serena, you've been blind.
00:22:20Julian is-
00:22:21Thomas, you can't force something that isn't there.
00:22:24No real feelings, no need to go forward with the engagement.
00:22:27Julian, please understand, all of this is on us.
00:22:32Everything that's happened here today is the fault of the Harper 5th.
00:22:36Give me a chance to make it right.
00:22:42Apologize to Julian!
00:22:43Now!
00:22:43No!
00:22:44I don't care who you are, Julian.
00:22:47To me, you're still just a spoiled brat who thinks of himself as some sort of genius.
00:22:52But in reality, all you know is playing video games.
00:22:57I see right through you, and I will not apologize to you!
00:23:02Serena!
00:23:03Enough!
00:23:04Julian, she's just being foolish.
00:23:05Let me apologize.
00:23:06Save it.
00:23:08If Serena can't manage an apology herself, then I have no reason to protect this company anymore.
00:23:15Issue my order.
00:23:17Suspend all support for Harper Enterprise.
00:23:20Cease every protective measure, effective immediately.
00:23:23Julian!
00:23:23Please!
00:23:24Don't!
00:23:24Without you, this place doesn't survive.
00:23:27Look!
00:23:29Oh!
00:23:30What?
00:23:33What?
00:23:36Oh, I guess you could just pull down orders.
00:23:38What do you mean?
00:23:39Hostile takeover.
00:23:40All 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?
00:23:53My entire division just stopped.
00:23:54We can't operate like this.
00:23:56A stunning reversal.
00:23:58Harper Enterprise's many allies withdraw their investments in an instant, leaving the group
00:24:02facing massive losses.
00:24:04Could it be all these months the company's been supported by Julian?
00:24:08Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:10Shocking Wall Street.
00:24:11Why did Harper Enterprises suddenly lose power?
00:24:13What caused them to lose their backing?
00:24:17How is that possible?
00:24:19Are you attacking the company?
00:24:20No matter who is behind this, I, Serena, will never bow down to you.
00:24:28Harper Enterprise will not yield to any market attacks.
00:24:31Do whatever it takes to stabilize the stocks.
00:24:33Miss Harper, this isn't a race.
00:24:35Our major partners are terminating their contracts.
00:24:37And our own liquidity can't cover the gap.
00:24:40It's come to use.
00:24:41The stock will crash straight through the floor.
00:24:44What did you say?
00:24:46Damn it.
00:24:47How could that trash have such kind of power?
00:24:50Why him?
00:24:51I won't accept this.
00:24:52I won't.
00:24:53Serena, how can you stand there and watch Harper Enterprises burn to the ground around your feet?
00:24:59Apologize to Julian.
00:25:00No!
00:25:05Serena.
00:25:06Apologize.
00:25:08Serena.
00:25:19Serena, Serena, do not apologize.
00:25:21Harper Enterprises 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.
00:25:32No!
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:35It's not your fucking fault.
00:25:37You apologize to Julian right now!
00:25:39Get on your neck!
00:25:40Dad!
00:25:42Damien!
00:25:43Damien!
00:25:44Dad, stop!
00:25:45Damien has only ever stood up for me.
00:25:47He is the only one who actually cares about me and I won't let you treat him like this.
00:25:51Stay out of the way.
00:25:52No!
00:25:53You really gonna go to war with Julian over this snake?
00:25:57Do you even have any idea who he really is?
00:26:00Whoever he is, it doesn't give him the right to just bully people like this.
00:26:03I cannot stand bullies who throw their weight around and 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?
00:26:17He hides behind your name to steal other people's work.
00:26:19He throws tea on me in this very room.
00:26:21He squeezes a million dollars out of me just for a hundred thousand dollar wash.
00:26:25Don't you think that's bullying?
00:26:27Oh, I...
00:26:29But you hate bullies, right?
00:26:32Yeah, you're no saint.
00:26:34You're just biased.
00:26:36You know, I've been engaged to you for the past six months.
00:26:39I have asked you out 37 times.
00:26:42Yeah, because I thought we should at least get to know each other.
00:26:45Every time I have asked you out, you said,
00:26:47I'm too busy with work.
00:26:49But that wasn't the truth.
00:26:50The truth is, is that you were too busy dating this sycophant.
00:26:54Listen to him sing your praises, right?
00:26:58Who's that?
00:26:59Oh, let me guess.
00:27:01Julian's still asking him out?
00:27:05Just ignore him.
00:27:07Is he still your fiancé?
00:27:10Is it okay you still keep blowing him off?
00:27:13I just, I can't stand him.
00:27:16A spoiled heir who thinks the world revolves around him?
00:27:21So what if I did?
00:27:23Who I choose to hang out with is my own choice.
00:27:25Guys, we'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,
00:27:46maybe I would have said yes to you once.
00:27:49But you don't.
00:27:53Damien was a key reason you made it.
00:27:55That's your story, right?
00:27:56What is so funny?
00:27:58I mean, I'm laughing at just how foolish you are.
00:28:01Do you know why, for the past six months, 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.
00:28:14Because Damien is brilliant.
00:28:16Because he has cleared every obstacle in my way.
00:28:18Damien?
00:28:19Brilliant?
00:28:20That was Julian.
00:28:23Julian is the one who quietly has held this entire thing together.
00:28:27Serena.
00:28:29No.
00:28:29That is impossible.
00:28:31I don't believe it.
00:28:41Hey.
00:28:43Hi's up Serena.
00:28:44In 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.
00:28:59They've all been backing us behind the scenes?
00:29:01No wonder every project went so smoothly.
00:29:03Julian is the one with this kind of network.
00:29:05Damien's got some nerves stealing credit for something like this.
00:29:09That's a death wish.
00:29:12No, no, no.
00:29:14It's not true, huh?
00:29:15Harper Enterprise is what it is because of me and my hard work and my connections.
00:29:20You arrogant fool.
00:29:22Did you think you could step in here and steal credit from everything?
00:29:32All right.
00:29:33All right.
00:29:33That's enough.
00:29:34I finally got the all clear for my grandfather.
00:29:36I can go home.
00:29:38So as of right now, our engagement is terminated.
00:29:41Julian, all of this has been our fault.
00:29:44But the engagement…
00:29:45Let him go.
00:29:46I don't need a fiancé who uses his family background to wreck people.
00:29:52Without my connections and my network, Harper Enterprises' stock is going to keep falling.
00:29:57And it's going to go right back to where it was six months ago.
00:30:01What?
00:30:03Go on.
00:30:04Prepare yourselves.
00:30:06Julian.
00:30:07Julian.
00:30:08Julian.
00:30:08Stop sitting.
00:30:08Julian.
00:30:12Serena, you silly, foolish, foolish girl.
00:30:16Grandpa, I have never been clearer. With or without him, I will lead Harper Enterprise back to the top.
00:30:23Serena's right. Mr. Harper, Chairman Harper, I'm going to stand by Serena's side and I'm going to give her everything
00:30:28that I've got.
00:30:30Crap. I'm going to beat the crap out of you once and for all.
00:30:34Dad, that is enough.
00:30:36Dad? Grandpa? I know you have your issues with Damien, but I believe he will prove himself to you, and
00:30:44so 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.
00:30:55This meeting is over.
00:30:57Serena, wait up!
00:30:59You!
00:31:00God, tell me what to do with this reckless granddaughter.
00:31:08Serena, Serena!
00:31:10Don't even worry about that. I know our Enterprise took a huge hit today, but as long as we lock
00:31:14down Amber Group's Cressel 8 project,
00:31:15change the game and everyone will still think that we're in control. Easy.
00:31:20The $3 billion Cressel 8 project.
00:31:24If we can win that contract, we can wipe all the problems we've been facing.
00:31:29Damien, 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?
00:31:37No, no, absolutely. You can't have me.
00:31:39Amber Group's deputy VP of projects. I mean, he trusts me clearly.
00:31:44Who else has been his eyes?
00:31:52Get the Cressel 8 contract ready.
00:31:55Same as always.
00:31:56Once the Harper team arrives, we hand it straight to them.
00:31:59Ms. Lawson, we just got an update. Julian Clark has been kicked out of Harper Enterprise. The engagement is off.
00:32:05Serena fired him and ended it.
00:32:08Are you sure?
00:32:10Absolutely.
00:32:12Word is she listened to her assistant, Damien, who really stirred the pot, and 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 Cressel 8 project over to Harper Enterprise?
00:32:27Without Julian, Harper Enterprise really thinks it's worthy of Cressel 8? Not a chance.
00:32:33Open it to public bidding.
00:32:34Yes, ma'am.
00:32:43Now that is an amazing shot, Mr. Brooks.
00:32:45Damien, Crescent Lake's public bid is coming up soon.
00:32:50How's Harper Enterprise looking?
00:33:06Damien, what does this mean, huh?
00:33:08Mr. Brooks, why don't you do yourself a favor and take a closer look?
00:33:13That's one million in clean crypto, untraceable.
00:33:17Harper Enterprise is totally prepared to take on Cressel 8.
00:33:22We just need you to give us a little extra attention.
00:33:25Oh my, Damien, you're too kind.
00:33:29Sure, it's a public bidding on paper, but, uh, as long as I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about.
00:33:37Sit tight.
00:33:39Contract's yours.
00:33:42Miss Larson usually hands Harper Enterprises whatever they want anyway.
00:33:47Well, thank you very much, Mr. Brooks.
00:34:17Well, wow.
00:34:18Uh, friends, Jillian.
00:34:22All right, Serena kicked you out.
00:34:24Six months of hard work, down the drain.
00:34:28What does that feel?
00:34:30Oh, I see.
00:34:31So you brought me to your party just to mock me a little bit.
00:34:35Is that right?
00:34:36Of course.
00:34:37Not.
00:34:40I'm here to steal you.
00:34:43You see?
00:34:43Since your engagement is off, I was thinking, how about you consider me, huh?
00:34:54Guys like us, we don't get to escape alliances.
00:34:58Our families will bear us off either way.
00:35:00So, why pick a stranger when there's someone who actually knows you?
00:35:08You see?
00:35:10Childhood friends, same circles, 15 years of school.
00:35:16And we...
00:35:17We match.
00:35:18You know?
00:35:19We fit.
00:35:22We fit.
00:35:22Hang on.
00:35:23Nora, you're...
00:35:24Are you saying this because you're drunk?
00:35:26Or do you...
00:35:34You're drunk?
00:35:34I'm not drunk.
00:35:35Okay?
00:35:36You don't have to answer me tonight.
00:35:39Just...
00:35:39Think about it.
00:35:41Hmm?
00:35:46I'm not drunk.
00:35:48Okay?
00:35:52You don't have to answer me tonight.
00:35:54Just...
00:35:54Think about it.
00:35:55Hmm?
00:36:11I told you I'm not drunk.
00:36:14Nora, this one should come off.
00:36:16Oh, shit.
00:36:18I'm drunk.
00:36:20Nora, this one should come off.
00:36:22Oh, shit.
00:36:23I'm drunk.
00:36:39Miss Lawson, Amber Group's distinguished CEO, allow me the pleasure of introducing myself.
00:36:47Oh, I am so sorry.
00:36:48Bad...
00:36:49Bad timing.
00:36:49Truly terrible timing.
00:36:54Shhh.
00:36:54Shhh.
00:36:55Shhh.
00:36:57Shhh.
00:36:59Don't...
00:37:00Oof.
00:37:00If that jacket slips for you in a second, you're finished.
00:37:04Okay, but aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:05When Amber Group's CEO get caught in the scandal at a pool party?
00:37:09Rumor can lose tomorrow's company's visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breasts go through.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:17Okay.
00:37:20But if you stay through to me like this for the rest of the night...
00:37:26I think my heart's gonna skip on its chest.
00:37:41And suffer.
00:37:43Okay?
00:37:44If you push me, I will toss you into a little ice crusher.
00:37:53Please, just walk with me to the nearest changing room, okay?
00:38:11Speak of the devil, of all the times.
00:38:19No, this is a private party for Amber Group's CEO.
00:38:22You know what I lost?
00:38:24Not exactly the kind of place where anybody could just wander into.
00:38:27Oh, wait.
00:38:31Well, well.
00:38:32I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:36Feelings for Serena weren't that deep after all.
00:38:40Can I help you with something?
00:38:42Seriously?
00:38:43This woman's even prettier than Serena.
00:38:45How does a loser like Julia always get women?
00:38:48I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:38:50Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here, she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:38:56Whoring herself out like this?
00:38:59It's me all take her hair.
00:39:01Is that so?
00:39:02Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Christmas project.
00:39:10What, you're bidding too?
00:39:11Yeah, I know you got connection.
00:39:12And that's great, you know.
00:39:13But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:16Me, I got real talent.
00:39:17Alright?
00:39:17And I'm gonna win Crescent Lake for Serena.
00:39:20You, you're just gonna fucking lose like you lose everything else.
00:39:24Good luck.
00:39:36See that?
00:39:38That is a shameless whore.
00:39:40That woman seems familiar.
00:39:43Samantha, you don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:46Alright, come on.
00:39:47Let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:39:49Let's go socialize.
00:39:50And maybe we'll run into the host of the party, Lawson herself.
00:39:54And if we do,
00:39:56I'll make sure we leave a good impression.
00:40:14So that pretty boy Damien actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:19Tonight we're gonna see who's really on top.
00:40:22Okay.
00:40:23Manners, this is a public event.
00:40:25What?
00:40:27You've known me since we were kids.
00:40:29Why would I pretend around you?
00:40:31But, if you like glasses, I can do glasses.
00:40:35Oh, can you?
00:40:36Yeah.
00:40:36You can do glasses?
00:40:38Yeah.
00:40:38Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:46I'll let you get to it.
00:40:51Shall we?
00:41:08Julian.
00:41:12I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:13You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:17You know what?
00:41:19You know what?
00:41:19Mason Brooks, Amber Group's deputy VP of projects, already agreed to award the contract to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:26You can't win.
00:41:32I hear the Crescent Lake project is basically yours.
00:41:34Congratulations.
00:41:36Serena, you are the business queen of Wall Street.
00:41:39And with Damien backing you up, it's unstoppable.
00:41:41When the two of you take off, don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:44Of course.
00:41:45You know, we're going to take care of you guys.
00:41:46Thank you so much.
00:41:55See that, Julian?
00:41:56Everybody already knows that Crescent Lake belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:42:00I suggest you walk out of here before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:42:03It's funny.
00:42:04You see, my Clark Group has deeper capital, better tech, and a stronger global record than Harper Enterprise.
00:42:10So, I'm just curious.
00:42:12Why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:14He recognizes Damien's talent.
00:42:16Of course.
00:42:21I need to take this.
00:42:29Hi, Julian.
00:42:32What century are you living in?
00:42:35You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:38Then what does?
00:42:40Ain't really that fucking stupid?
00:42:42Of course this.
00:42:45I paid Mason Brooks one million in crypto.
00:42:48What do you have that's going to be that?
00:42:52You paid Mason Brooks?
00:42:54That's impossible.
00:42:55He wouldn't dare.
00:42:56That's impossible.
00:42:57He wouldn't dare.
00:42:58Yeah, you want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart.
00:43:02But hey, you're a very lovely, beautiful escort.
00:43:05Why don't you do us all a favor and get up on that stage and give us a nice little
00:43:09poll show.
00:43:10Hey.
00:43:10Hey.
00:43:11I'm going to tell you.
00:43:12You want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:16Because every time I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune.
00:43:22Capital technology.
00:43:24It's useless fucking trash.
00:43:28Mason Brooks, you've got a lot on there.
00:43:31He's finished.
00:43:33Mr. Brooks is finished.
00:43:34Who the fuck is this?
00:43:36Who are you?
00:43:37What do you think?
00:43:38You're the Amber Group CEO or something?
00:43:41Who gave you the fucking guts?
00:43:43It's adorable, no?
00:43:44Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:43:48Anti-anti-corruption?
00:44:02What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:04Hmm?
00:44:07You hit me.
00:44:09You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:12I can have Mason Brooks crush you with one phone call.
00:44:17There he is, Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:19You're finished.
00:44:22Mr. Brooks.
00:44:23You mean my friend?
00:44:25There's a woman here.
00:44:26Says she's going to report to you.
00:44:27Come on, please, teach her a lesson.
00:44:28Oh, report me?
00:44:30Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:32This woman right here.
00:44:36Miss...
00:44:36Lawson?
00:44:37She's even quoting the anti-corruption code like she's somebody.
00:44:40Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:42What?
00:44:43What?
00:44:44This...
00:44:45This...
00:44:46This can't be...
00:44:50Go ahead, laugh!
00:44:51Laugh some more.
00:44:52Are you insane, Damien?
00:44:54You'll say anything out loud!
00:44:56Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:44:57She's just some gold-taking whore!
00:44:58I mean, even if she rats you out, who's going to believe this?
00:45:02Why are you bidding me?
00:45:03Shut your fucking mouth!
00:45:05When did I ever take your money?
00:45:07I never took one cent!
00:45:09Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:11Idiot!
00:45:12Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:15Miss Lawson, this...
00:45:16This Damien...
00:45:17He's a lunatic!
00:45:19He's making things up!
00:45:20Don't listen to him!
00:45:21I swear, I never took one dollar from him!
00:45:24Not once!
00:45:27Miss Lawson?
00:45:30No, wait!
00:45:32You're Nora Lawson, Amber's group CEO?
00:45:35How is that possible?
00:45:36How is that fucking...
00:45:36Mr. Brooks!
00:45:38Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:40Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:44We promise we won't let you down.
00:45:48Stop!
00:45:49Shut the fuck up!
00:45:50When did I ever give you anything?
00:45:54Miss Lawson?
00:45:55These Harper Enterprise people, they're all out of their minds.
00:45:59They lie like the wind.
00:46:01I can't believe a word they say!
00:46:03Miss Lawson?
00:46:06Miss Lawson?
00:46:08She's Nora Lawson?
00:46:12The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:14Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:17You can leave now.
00:46:20Miss Lawson, I am so sorry.
00:46:23Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being inappropriate.
00:46:30I'll make him apologize.
00:46:32Right now.
00:46:33He is blunt.
00:46:34Yes, but his ability is exceptional.
00:46:39Please, give Harper Enterprise the contract and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:46:46Exceptional ability?
00:46:48Are you sure about that?
00:46:49Of course.
00:46:51If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:46:56You're about to find out.
00:47:03Damien?
00:47:05What does she mean?
00:47:07Oh, shit.
00:47:08I can't let her find out I secured every project right.
00:47:11So, she's upset because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:13So, she wants revenge.
00:47:16So, she's gonna embarrass Harper Enterprise in front of everyone.
00:47:18So, what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:20Let's go.
00:47:20Go?
00:47:22If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:26Even if Miss Lawson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:30Serena, please!
00:47:30Okay?
00:47:31I'm sorry.
00:47:33Here we go now.
00:47:34All right?
00:47:34I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones, but we need to go now.
00:47:37Come on.

00:51:08enterprise another chance i i will meet the highest standards i will deliver a perfect result
00:51:14on every project perfect result and what exactly guarantees that your empty suit assistant

00:52:08because damian right mason wasn't that the reason for six months harper enterprise got everything it
00:52:17wanted from ember group for one reason julian clark damian has nothing to do with that he was just
00:52:27the messenger boy who picked up the contracts what when julian was there bribe or no bribe
00:52:34harper enterprise got the deals anyway but now julian's gone so the special treatment is gone
00:52:42damian's little arriving incident it was just a convenient excuse to take everything back understand now
00:52:53and about those flawless projects harper enterprise didn't run smoothly because damian is brilliant
00:52:59it ran smoothly because julian called every partner every supplier every gatekeeper and cleared the path

00:53:18me

01:01:27This isn't over.
01:01:33Julian, please. Thank God you came and you had that-
01:01:36We are not that close.
01:01:40I was just passing through.
01:01:41I heard some screaming so I stopped by to check.
01:01:44You. I want you to call the Harper family.
01:01:47Tell them to come to the crew.
01:01:49Yes, sir.
01:01:51Julian!
01:01:52I am sorry.
01:01:54I know. I was wrong.
01:01:57Just...
01:01:58Please come back.
01:02:00Julian!
01:02:01Our reservation is in 10 minutes. Let's go.
01:02:12Serena.
01:02:13I told you.
01:02:15Over and over and over again.
01:02:20That Damien was not a good man.
01:02:23And you refused to listen.
01:02:26And Julian. If Julian doesn't come along.
01:02:29Just at the right time.
01:02:31Oh my God.
01:02:32I can't even...
01:02:34I can't even think about it.
01:02:35If you don't do something about that stubborn pride of yours.
01:02:38One day.
01:02:40You live to regret it.
01:02:41Dad. Grandpa. Please. Stop.
01:02:44I know I was wrong. Okay.
01:02:46I'll...
01:02:48I'll apologize.
01:02:49To Julian.
01:02:51And...
01:02:52I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:55The problem with that is that you may feel that way.
01:02:58But Julian might not.
01:03:00Grandpa.
01:03:02Don't worry.
01:03:04I...
01:03:05I will apologize properly.
01:03:07And I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:10That's all we can do.
01:03:13So John.
01:03:15Sir.
01:03:15Put out a city wide bolo.
01:03:17On that bastard Damien.
01:03:20He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:23We're not letting that go.
01:03:25No.
01:03:26We're not.
01:03:27Understood.
01:03:28Understood.
01:03:59Oh my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:06What is this supposed to be?
01:04:08A gift for you.
01:04:10Myself.
01:04:12I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:15Amber group backs you up.
01:04:17No questions asked.
01:04:18But first...
01:04:19You have to accept the gift.
01:04:22Properly.
01:04:32Hey.
01:04:33Can you not do that?
01:04:35You're making this incredibly awkward.
01:04:38You know a woman like me shows up a gift wrapped and any man would have, you know,
01:04:44helped me by now.
01:04:47Don't tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:50Hung up?
01:04:52No, I'm gonna be hung up on Serena.
01:04:54She and I were never romantic.
01:04:56No, it's just a business marriage between two families.
01:05:00Things are moving too fast.
01:05:03You gotta think twice.
01:05:04But I don't have time.
01:05:06My family is preparing to send me off into a European alliance.
01:05:12Some old money.
01:05:14Perfect match they can show off at Wallace.
01:05:16Wait.
01:05:17What are you talking about?
01:05:18Are you serious?
01:05:18Yes, Julian.
01:05:20My uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of
01:05:25me permanently.
01:05:26But I don't want a stranger.
01:05:27I want you.
01:05:28I love you.
01:05:32Julian, let's make it official.
01:05:35Let's get married.
01:05:39You know, if you'll marry me, my family won't dare object.
01:05:45Please, Julian.
01:05:57Okay.
01:05:59I'll marry you.
01:06:00Are you serious?
01:06:02No take backs.
01:06:03No take backs.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:05Ever.
01:06:06I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:08But can you help me out?
01:06:12Um, my hands are getting hurt.
01:06:15So impatient.
01:06:20It's like you said, if I accept the gift, then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:32Then be gentle.
01:06:41Julian, you didn't forget what you promised last night, right?
01:06:46Uh, no.
01:06:47Because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:06:49Of course I remember that.
01:06:51You know, when someone wraps themselves as a gift, you kind of remember that for the
01:06:56rest of your life.
01:06:57Details.
01:06:58Those are just tiny details.
01:07:02You look like big details to me.
01:07:09Julian, can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:12Serena, I really don't think there's anything we need to discuss.
01:07:15Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:16I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:17I misjudged everything.
01:07:19Please, just give me one more chance and I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:24And if you take me back, just tell me what you want.
01:07:27I'll do anything.
01:07:28I'm sorry.
01:07:28I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:33Boyfriend?
01:07:40Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:07:43Well, Julian hates them too.
01:07:45And yet you stayed at Harper Enterprise for six full months.
01:07:49He asked you out 37 times.
01:07:52So tell me, what exactly are you proud of?
01:07:55Hmm?
01:07:57Men like him?
01:07:59If you treat him like trash, someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:08:04Listen carefully.
01:08:05We are all together now, so better keep your distance.
01:08:09If you don't, I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:14Come on.
01:08:16We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:18Let's not be late.
01:08:20Wedding outfits.
01:08:23Let's go.
01:08:29Let's go.
01:08:37So how did it go?
01:08:39Julian?
01:08:41He's with Nora.
01:08:46Nora.
01:08:47Nora Lawson, CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:51Of course.
01:08:52You know, Serena, it's an elite like Julian.
01:08:56The second you let go, somebody comes and grabs him.
01:09:00You don't get another chance.
01:09:02God gave our family a chance.
01:09:04And we blew it.
01:09:07God, forgive the Harpers.
01:09:09Please.
01:09:12Ms. Harper, Finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:15Harper Enterprise's cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:19If we don't act immediately, we won't even have enough to make payroll this month.
01:09:24Great.
01:09:25Now all of Wall Street knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:29Who's going to lend to us now?
01:09:31How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:33This is my fault.
01:09:34Okay?
01:09:35I was blind.
01:09:36Are you proud now?
01:09:39I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:09:43I didn't realize that Julian was running everything.
01:09:47And the moment he's gone, I can't do anything.
01:09:51Dad.
01:09:53Grandpa.
01:09:54I'm so sorry.
01:09:56I ruined the Harpers Enterprise.
01:09:58I ruined everything.
01:10:00Dad.
01:10:01You're the one who arranged the engagement with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:05So maybe you should go talk to him and see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:10Yes, Grandpa.
01:10:12Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:14If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:18Clark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:21Yes.
01:10:22They honored our engagement.
01:10:25And that was a mercy.
01:10:26That was a blessing.
01:10:28But you threw it away.
01:10:33Still.
01:10:35For your sake and for your future.
01:10:37And for our future.
01:10:40We'll fight.
01:10:42No.
01:10:47Serena.
01:10:48When you see Julian's grandfather,
01:10:51your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:55If he forgives you,
01:10:58only then will you know that you have a chance to get Julian back.
01:11:03Understood, Grandpa.
01:11:04For the Harper family, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:22Welcome.
01:11:24You must be here for Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:28Perfect timing.
01:11:30They're just about to start.
01:11:32Engagement party?
01:11:34So they're really engaged?
01:11:36Wait, how is this all happening so fast?
01:11:40What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:43Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson have known each other since they were born,
01:11:46and everyone is so happy that they're finally getting married.
01:11:50Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:52You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:11:56Then, please leave.
01:11:58Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:12:04Please.
01:12:05If there's an engagement party,
01:12:08that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:14And that means we're done.
01:12:17There's no more chances left.
01:12:19We're leaving.
01:12:21Is this my punishment?
01:12:25All right, everyone.
01:12:27Big smiles.
01:12:31Woo!
01:12:34Sure, sure, sure.
01:12:41Julian, are you okay?
01:12:46Hey.
01:12:52What is it?
01:12:54Oh, it's nothing.
01:12:55Come on.
01:12:56Dinner's almost ready.
01:13:10Dad.
01:13:11The Harpers.
01:13:13My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:17And...
01:13:18For him,
01:13:20his six months at Harper Enterprise,
01:13:23it was a total humiliation.
01:13:26We've shown that Harper had more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:32Understood, Dad.
01:13:40Okay, enough, Serena.
01:13:42Stop.
01:13:43You can't drink this away.
01:13:45Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:13:48If you don't get up, it's over.
01:13:51Just...
01:13:52Leave me the fuck alone.
01:13:54Okay?
01:13:54Just let me drink.
01:13:56I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:58I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:13:59No, you...
01:14:02All right, I've got to take this.
01:14:05Don't move.
01:14:06I'll be right back, and then...
01:14:07I am taking you home.
01:14:10Hello?
01:14:13No.
01:14:18Nora.
01:14:21Okay, Nora.
01:14:22Be honest.
01:14:23You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:26You just got engaged,
01:14:27and you're getting married next week?
01:14:30Let's see.
01:14:31You've known Julian for 20-plus years.
01:14:34You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:14:36I've liked Julian for 20 years,
01:14:38and I finally got him to say yes.
01:14:41You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:14:43Lock it down from what?
01:14:44From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:14:46They're collapsing
01:14:47and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:14:50I have to move fast.
01:14:52If they start begging,
01:14:55what if Julian hesitates?
01:14:58But Julian and Serena were forced into that.
01:15:00There's no real love.
01:15:02Why will Julian hesitate?
01:15:04What are you afraid of?
01:15:05You don't get it.
01:15:07Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months,
01:15:11and it wasn't just because he's grandfather watery.
01:15:14Then why?
01:15:16Because Serena is his type.
01:15:21Wait, what?
01:15:24I am Julian's type?
01:15:28No way!
01:15:29I'm serious.
01:15:31The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:15:33That exact time.
01:15:35I mean, with his personality,
01:15:39even if his grandfather forced him,
01:15:40he would have stayed there for three days max,
01:15:42and then vanished.
01:15:43He would not stay there
01:15:45and take six months of humiliation
01:15:48if he didn't want it to.
01:15:49That's Julian Clark.
01:15:51So that's why?
01:15:54Serena must have destroyed him.
01:15:55I have to get married fast.
01:15:58I cannot give her a single chance.
01:16:01So that's what it was.
01:16:03Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:16:05because I'm his type.
01:16:07He likes me.
01:16:08That means I still have a chance.
01:16:10I still have a chance.
01:16:12This is my last shot.
01:16:13I am not wasting it.
01:16:22Where is she?
01:16:29Ladies and gentlemen,
01:16:30let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:45Wow.
01:16:47They look perfect together.
01:16:49They're childhood sweethearts.
01:16:50The whole fantasy.
01:16:51Oh my god, brilliant!
01:16:54And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:09Wait!
01:17:16Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:18Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:20Who is that?
01:17:21Is that Serena Harper?
01:17:22CEO of Harper Enterprise?
01:17:24You mean the woman who rode on Julian's back to the IPO
01:17:27and then kicked him out like he was nothing?
01:17:30Without Julian, Harper Enterprise is basically bankrupt.
01:17:33Pathetic.
01:17:35Wait!
01:17:36Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:41Julian, I know you like me.
01:17:44You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months,
01:17:47humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:52I know.
01:17:54I was wrong.
01:17:55Totally wrong, okay?
01:17:56Just please, give me another chance.
01:18:02Our engagement is over.
01:18:04In fact, you were the one that called it off.
01:18:07Look, this is my wedding.
01:18:09Have some dignity.
01:18:10In fact, can we get her out of here, please?
01:18:13No, please.
01:18:14I'll do anything.
01:18:15Just...
01:18:16Stop.
01:18:20I know.
01:18:21You hate me.
01:18:23Because...
01:18:23I rejected you 37 times, but...
01:18:26I'll make it up to you.
01:18:28I'll chase you 37 times.
01:18:31370 times.
01:18:32Whatever it did.
01:18:34Can we please get her out?
01:18:35No, don't touch me!
01:18:37Julian, what do you want from me?
01:18:39I know you like me.
01:18:40So why won't you give me another chance?
01:18:43Why?
01:18:43I...
01:18:48Simple question.
01:18:49Do you love me?
01:18:53I...
01:18:54Exactly, you don't.
01:18:56You didn't realize you made a mistake.
01:18:58You realized that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:19:01See, what you want is not a chance, but a tool.
01:19:05You want me back so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:09No.
01:19:10No, that...
01:19:11That's not true.
01:19:14Just please.
01:19:15Listen.
01:19:16Please, listen.
01:19:17Enough.
01:19:17Serena.
01:19:18When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise, do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:23Let me ask you this.
01:19:25If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed, if your value kept climbing, would you still be here standing in front of
01:19:31me today?
01:19:34I...
01:19:34I...
01:19:34No, I...
01:19:35No, you wouldn't.
01:19:36You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:37You'd be celebrating.
01:19:39You'd say that you earned the business queen a crown.
01:19:41You'd be mocking me, calling me pathetic.
01:19:44You'd say that firing me was the best decision you ever made.
01:19:46Plus, you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:19:49No.
01:19:51No, Julian.
01:19:52That's not me.
01:19:54Just admit it, Serena.
01:19:56You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:58But on my wedding day, you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:20:01Why?
01:20:02Because you want me back as your lifeline.
01:20:05Your donor.
01:20:06Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:08But the moment I stop being useful, you will kick me away again without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:13No.
01:20:15No, Julian.
01:20:17That is not true the night that you saved me from Damien.
01:20:22I...
01:20:23I felt something for you.
01:20:25I...
01:20:25I did.
01:20:26Stop.
01:20:27Do not perform at my wedding.
01:20:29You don't regret hurting me.
01:20:31You regret choosing the wrong man.
01:20:33You regret that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:20:35You know, I'll admit.
01:20:37When I met you, you were exactly my type.
01:20:41But once I got to know you,
01:20:43once I realized what you really are,
01:20:45all I felt was disgust.
01:20:49But Nora...
01:20:52She has cared for me since we were kids.
01:20:57When I was sick, she stayed up all night taking care of me.
01:21:01When I was at my lowest, she pulled me back up.
01:21:04Even when I went back to Harper Enterprise on the engagement...
01:21:09She still supported me.
01:21:10She still took hits from me.
01:21:15So...
01:21:16Let me ask you.
01:21:18Why would I give up all of that for you?
01:21:23What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:27I...
01:21:29I...
01:21:29I...
01:21:29I...
01:21:30Interrupt.
01:21:30No, no.
01:21:31No, please don't, Julian.
01:21:33Don't... Don't.
01:21:34I...
01:21:34I'm begging you.
01:21:35Just please let me explain.
01:21:37Please.
01:21:38Please.
01:21:38Please.
01:21:39Please.
01:21:39Please stop.
01:21:39Let me go.
01:21:40Julian, please.
01:21:42Don't do it.
01:21:43Crashing a wedding like that?
01:21:44I thought she actually loved him.
01:21:46Turns out,
01:21:47she just realized without Julian,
01:21:49she can't stay on top.
01:21:50She used Julian's feelings like a weapon, totally vampire drained him dry.
01:22:25Mr. Clark!
01:22:43I'm sure you've all heard. Harper Enterprise, effective today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:49So, you're all being terminated.
01:22:52Are you watching me?
01:22:54Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:22:57I've given this company 15 years. You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:23:0115 years, wow. Congratulations.
01:23:04You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:10You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:13I've seen how you all work.
01:23:15Mr. Clark, bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud, everyone beat us a mile.
01:23:26So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms, and I want you to sign them, hand over your
01:23:33badges, or you're going to rob him.
01:23:35I want you to sign them, hand over your badges.
01:23:37This! This is it!
01:23:53Are you satisfied, Mal?
01:23:56Satisfied?
01:23:58Promise went to my grandfather.
01:24:00He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:24:04I saved you.
01:24:08Julian!
01:24:11If I didn't treat you the way I did, would any of this be different?
01:24:24Julian, why didn't you get thrown away and still land something better?
01:24:27I spent my whole life climbing upwards, and now I'm stuck at the bottom, hunted by cops!
01:24:32I won't accept it!
01:24:34Julian, what's yours?!
01:24:36Julian!
01:24:40Let me go!
01:24:41Fuck you, let me go!
01:24:42I already spared you.
01:24:44You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:46Go ahead, take him to the police.
01:24:47Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:49I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:50Fuck the coward!
01:24:51You're a fucking coward!
01:24:52Hiding behind your goddamn family's money!
01:24:54No, no, fight me!
01:24:55101!
01:24:56101!
01:24:56Let the guards go!
01:24:57You don't have the fucking guts to you!
01:25:03Hey, Julian.
01:25:04What was that?
01:25:05Just taking out the trash.
01:25:09Are you done here?
01:25:11No.
01:25:12Let's go.
01:25:20I was wrong!
01:25:22Julian, I was wrong!
