00:00:07Eli, slow down!
00:00:12You're going to break your neck riding that fast.
00:00:14Why are you so obsessed with working?
00:00:16It's too hard on you.
00:00:17Grandpa, I'm 18.
00:00:18I'm an adult now.
00:00:19Katie's birthday is coming up.
00:00:21I want to buy her a gift with money I earned myself.
00:00:23Grandpa and my sisters are so strict.
00:00:25If they find out I have a girlfriend, they'll grill me for every detail.
00:00:32Eli, working isn't as easy as you think.
00:00:35Here's my black gold VIP card.
00:00:37Spend as much as you want.
00:00:38Victoria, Eli has shares in the family.
00:00:40He's not broke.
00:00:41Eli, if you want real experience, come be a research assistant at my lab.
00:00:45If none of that works for you, wait for your third sister to come back.
00:00:48She'll make you a star.
00:00:50Working is just too hard.
00:00:52Grandpa, Vic, Alexandra, I don't need any of this.
00:00:54I'm an adult now.
00:00:55Can you stop treating me like a child?
00:00:57I have my own plans.
00:00:59Elliot, are you seeing someone?
00:01:01Vic, what are you talking about?
00:01:03There's no way I'm dating anyone.
00:01:05But, Eli, if you do date someone, use your own judgment.
00:01:10We're a big, prominent family.
00:01:12You've always been kind, and we've sheltered you.
00:01:14That makes you an easy target out there.
00:01:16I'm really not dating anyone.
00:01:19Grandpa finds out I have a girlfriend.
00:01:21He'll shower her with gifts.
00:01:22That might scare Kathy off.
00:01:24She's so innocent.
00:01:25She doesn't even know I'm the heir to Harrington Global.
00:01:29I'm going to be late for work.
00:01:31You guys go run your empires or whatever.
00:01:32I'm out.
00:01:34Be careful.
00:01:38This is the pull tab for my first date with Kathy.
00:01:40I asked Aunt Valentina to turn it into a ring.
00:01:43My first gift bought with my own money.
00:01:45Kathy's going to love it.
00:01:47Young master, today's your last day.
00:01:49You didn't have to come in.
00:01:50I said two months.
00:01:51I meant two months.
00:01:52Not a day less.
00:01:54Welcome.
00:01:55How can I help you?
00:01:55The heir to the richest man in America.
00:01:57And he chooses to wait tables at his own family's hotel?
00:02:00Rich folks really do live differently.
00:02:06Dad, you booked the Crown Hotel for her birthday?
00:02:09You're really going all out.
00:02:11That's all because of Damien's connections.
00:02:13Otherwise, I wouldn't go to such lengths.
00:02:16It's Kathy's birthday.
00:02:17As long as she's happy.
00:02:18That's all that matters.
00:02:27Isn't that Kathy's boyfriend?
00:02:28Why is he working as a waiter?
00:02:30My sister dating a waiter?
00:02:31No way.
00:02:33Is that true?
00:02:33Bring him here.
00:02:35Let him serve us.
00:02:36Dad.
00:02:41Young master, did you piss someone off?
00:02:43A table over there asked for you by name.
00:02:45They want you to serve them.
00:02:47They don't look friendly.
00:02:48It's fine.
00:02:49I'll go see what they want.
00:02:54Damien, this is the Romanae room.
00:02:57The most luxurious private room at the Crown Hotel.
00:03:01Sir, I'm sorry, but this room is for SVIP members only.
00:03:05This is the VIP card, you idiot.
00:03:07Tell your manager to get their ass over here.
00:03:10Mr. Sinclair, we're not exactly SVIP members.
00:03:13The more you try to stop me, the more determined I am to get in.
00:03:19Sir, I'm terribly sorry, but this room is strictly for the SVIP.
00:03:27Kathy.
00:03:29Elliot.
00:03:32But we'll make an exception today.
00:03:34Please, right this way.
00:03:36Impressive, Mr. Sinclair.
00:03:37Even the SVIP private room opens right up for you.
00:03:50It must be nice, just walking right in after we did all the heavy lifting.
00:04:01Elliot, what are you doing here?
00:04:03I work here.
00:04:04Dad, Jason, this is Elliot.
00:04:06He is my classmate and my boyfriend.
00:04:09You have a boyfriend?
00:04:10Why didn't you tell me?
00:04:12I was going to introduce him to you later.
00:04:14Elliot's just a part-time waiter, but he's really brilliant.
00:04:17He wins a scholarship every semester, and he...
00:04:19Scholarships?
00:04:20How much is a scholarship even worth?
00:04:22Is that even enough to pay for one of my suits?
00:04:24That suit of yours is Haute Couture from a fashion show, right?
00:04:27Somewhere between 30 and 50 grand.
00:04:29My annual scholarship is only 20,000, so no, he couldn't buy one of your suits.
00:04:33How do you know so much about luxury brands?
00:04:35Have you been tricking my sister into buying things for you?
00:04:38Stop making things up.
00:04:40Elliot would never.
00:04:42No class whatsoever.
00:04:47Elliot, let me help.
00:04:49Catherine, you sit down right now.
00:04:51I didn't raise my daughter to serve tables like some waitress.
00:04:55It's fine.
00:04:55This is my job.
00:04:57Come on, Elliot.
00:04:57Let's eat together.
00:04:58This is the top restaurant in the Americas, and you want a waiter at our table?
00:05:03He's my boyfriend.
00:05:04Can you at least show him a little respect?
00:05:06Don't mind him.
00:05:07My brother acts like a child sometimes.
00:05:09Come on, sit with me.
00:05:12Kathy, I got you a birthday present.
00:05:14Open it.
00:05:16Oh my god.
00:05:18You kept the tab from our first date and made it a ring?
00:05:21This is the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen.
00:05:23Sis, that thing doesn't even have a logo.
00:05:25He probably picked it up at a dollar store just to sweet-talk a naive girl like you.
00:05:29It's custom-made.
00:05:30A waiter can afford custom jewelry?
00:05:32You put a lot of thought into it.
00:05:33I love it.
00:05:34Enough!
00:05:35Stop bickering and just eat!
00:05:38Here, pick us a wine.
00:05:39Let's see what kind of taste you have.
00:05:41You're letting him pick the wine?
00:05:43What does he know about wine?
00:05:45This is probably your first time eating at a place like this, isn't it?
00:05:48The menu's all in French.
00:05:49The wines are expensive.
00:05:50Let me order.
00:05:51I don't want you to faint from the prices.
00:05:56Waiter!
00:05:58Get me a bottle of your most expensive, my usual, Yamazaki 55.
00:06:10You haven't even graduated yet.
00:06:12You're already working as a waiter to get yourself through.
00:06:15Your family must be struggling, huh?
00:06:18My family's doing fine.
00:06:20I'm an adult now.
00:06:21I can take care of myself, and I don't want to live off my parents.
00:06:24I admire your independence.
00:06:26I don't want to discourage a young person, but without a good family background, it's
00:06:31very hard for them to achieve anything.
00:06:34I've already arranged Catherine to take over the family company as soon as she graduates.
00:06:39Dad!
00:06:40Graduation is still ages away!
00:06:45So, young man, who's in your family, and what do they do for it?
00:06:52My family runs a small business.
00:06:54It's my grandfather, my three older sisters, and me.
00:06:57Three sisters?
00:06:58No wonder they're counting on you to work as a waiter to make money.
00:07:01A small business can't bring in much money, right?
00:07:04Not much inheritance to split, I imagine.
00:07:06Oh, my bad.
00:07:07I forgot you have three older sisters.
00:07:09Guess there won't be any inheritance left for you anyway.
00:07:18My sisters have always treated me well.
00:07:20Well, so stop making assumptions about my family.
00:07:23Dad!
00:07:23Can't you just eat without constantly going after Elliot?
00:07:27It's okay, Kathy.
00:07:37What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:07:39I'm sorry.
00:07:39Mr. Sinclair, are you all right?
00:07:41Elliot, what the hell was that?
00:07:43You shoved him, and now you're trying to blame me?
00:07:45I have dinner with the Harrington family tonight!
00:07:47Mrs. Victoria Harrington is a stickler for marriage and appearances!
00:07:49How am I supposed to show up with my suit like this?
00:07:53What are you doing?
00:07:58There you go.
00:08:00It suits you.
00:08:02Dad, see?
00:08:03Elliot notices things and actually knows how to fix them.
00:08:05He's incredible.
00:08:08I'm going to the restroom.
00:08:09Mr. Sinclair, let me come with you.
00:08:17I left my phone in the restroom.
00:08:19Go get it for me.
00:08:21Sure.
00:08:30Didn't he forget his phone?
00:08:31Why did they just leave?
00:08:33Why did they just leave?
00:08:37Why did they just leave?
00:08:48Mr. Sinclair?
00:08:52I couldn't find your phone.
00:08:56I couldn't find your phone.
00:09:13A man like me has many ways of handling things.
00:09:17I don't need your cheap, trashy tie.
00:09:20Face reality, Hick.
00:09:22You and us?
00:09:22We're not even from the same world.
00:09:26Kathy, when you choose a husband, you need to keep your eyes opened.
00:09:29Don't forget what you've always been working toward.
00:09:31Real class is quiet.
00:09:33It doesn't need a stage.
00:09:34And it doesn't come from looking down on people.
00:09:37Mr. Sinclair, thank you for your hospitality.
00:09:41I'll come visit you another day.
00:09:42Oh, one more thing, sir.
00:09:43The most expensive liquor at the Crown Hotel isn't Yamazaki 55.
00:09:46It's the McKellen 1926.
00:09:50Catherine Sinclair, get in this car right now!
00:09:54I'm sorry.
00:09:56I don't know what got into my dad and Jason today.
00:09:58It's okay.
00:10:00As long as you're by my side, I won't be afraid of any difficulty.
00:10:04I'll always be right by your side.
00:10:13Dad, Catherine's fallen hard for him.
00:10:15What do we do now?
00:10:17Leave it to me.
00:10:25My time is valuable, so let's cut to the chase.
00:10:27Please, you're not a social match for my daughter.
00:10:30I want you to leave Catherine and stop Pathering her.
00:10:34Mr. Sinclair, you called me here specifically to say this.
00:10:38Does Kathy know?
00:10:40Catherine's opinion means nothing.
00:10:42She's too young to understand the burden of the Sinclair name.
00:10:46We're old money in California.
00:10:48A man like you isn't even qualified to marry into this family.
00:10:53I remember Victoria mentioning this.
00:10:55The Sinclairs' eclipsed group is impressive from the outside,
00:10:58but it's already on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:11:00They're not old money.
00:11:01They're barely holding on.
00:11:03I've already promised Catherine to Damian Ryder.
00:11:06He comes from a family as powerful as ours.
00:11:08In background, education, and looks, you're not even in the same league.
00:11:13Here's one million dollars.
00:11:15Young man, I advise you not to get any delusions.
00:11:18Take the money and leave Catherine.
00:11:20Now.
00:11:22Otherwise, I will ruin you.
00:11:27What?
00:11:28Greedy for more?
00:11:29Fine.
00:11:30Let's make it three million then.
00:11:40Young man, one shouldn't be too greedy.
00:11:44Do you particularly enjoy using money to crush people?
00:11:50Someone like you should be grateful that anyone is even willing to throw money at you.
00:11:55So, in your heart, your own daughter is only worth three million dollars?
00:11:59But to me, his happiness is more precious than any bargaining chip.
00:12:03I will never leave Cathy.
00:12:05Young love means nothing without status.
00:12:08Your family doesn't measure up to the Sinclairs.
00:12:10That's the real problem.
00:12:13And do you actually know who my family is?
00:12:21There's no need for that.
00:12:23Catherine is about to go to Germany to study.
00:12:25If she really loved you, would she abandon you and leave?
00:12:32Catherine, you're going to Germany?
00:12:34You know, I was afraid you'd be against it, so I kept putting off telling you.
00:12:38To really make something of yourself in biopharmaceutics?
00:12:40You have to study in Germany.
00:12:42I want everyone to have access to cheaper, more effective medicine.
00:12:46Grandpa and my sisters never thought much of Catherine.
00:12:48Good thing she has ambition.
00:12:50When she comes back, I'll propose to her.
00:12:52We'll get married soon as I graduate.
00:12:54I will marry anyone but you.
00:13:01Once you finish your studies and come home, you'll take over the family business.
00:13:04And you'll marry someone from our world.
00:13:07Cathy!
00:13:11Catherine, time to board.
00:13:12Hurry up.
00:13:15Elliot, promise me you'll wait for me to come back.
00:13:31She's gone.
00:13:32She'll be gone for five years.
00:13:34Stop dreaming.
00:13:35I'll wait for her to come back.
00:13:37A waiter wanting to climb the social ladder into a wealthy family?
00:13:41Dream on.
00:13:43Dream on.
00:13:56Vivian, over here!
00:14:00Finn, what are the odds?
00:14:07Eli, were you seriously about to run from your own sister?
00:14:15Eli, what's your plan going forward?
00:14:17Do you need any help?
00:14:18If you ever feel like taking over the company, just tell me.
00:14:21There's always a spot for you at my lab, too.
00:14:23Or come to Hollywood.
00:14:24I'll make you a star.
00:14:25I'm going to pave the way for Catherine.
00:14:27When she comes back, I'll hand the company over to her.
00:14:29No need.
00:14:30I've started a new company.
00:14:31I can handle it on my own.
00:14:33I have class soon, so I've got to go.
00:14:34Hey, let me have the driver take you...
00:14:37I couldn't say it with Elliot in the room.
00:14:39He has a girlfriend.
00:14:41That's why he went to the airport today, to say goodbye before she left the country.
00:14:44What?
00:14:45And here I thought Elliot went to the airport today to pick me up.
00:14:48And Damien Ryder went abroad with her.
00:14:51The Ryder heir.
00:14:52Their family is in health care, and they're clearly close to her family.
00:14:55Grandpa, should I go warn her off?
00:14:58Elliot is a child with his own mind.
00:15:00And some things he has to go through on his own if he's going to grow.
00:15:07That's all for today.
00:15:09Thank you, everyone.
00:15:18Catherine, have you missed me?
00:15:20Catherine!
00:15:22I have to go now.
00:15:23My advisor is calling me.
00:15:36Chairman, here's the share transfer agreement for H&C Pharma.
00:15:39Five years ago, I started H&C Pharma behind Catherine's back.
00:15:43Now that she's become Chief Research Fellow, it's time to give H&C to her.
00:15:47Tonight, I'll have Grandpa and my sisters be our witnesses.
00:15:49With this, Grandpa and my sisters will surely accept it.
00:15:52Everything is ready.
00:15:54Tonight, I'm going to propose to her.
00:16:00What are you doing here?
00:16:01I'm here to welcome Catherine home, obviously.
00:16:03This is high society.
00:16:04Not a place where some broke waiter like you belongs.
00:16:07Five years, and you still won't give up?
00:16:10Catherine now isn't the same Catherine from five years ago.
00:16:13You're not still dreaming of becoming the Sinclair family's son-in-law, are you?
00:16:16It's good that you came.
00:16:17It'll give you a chance to see just how far the gap is between you and high society.
00:16:22You're right.
00:16:23There really is a gap between you and me.
00:16:28Good evening, everyone.
00:16:30Thank you for coming to my welcome back party.
00:16:33Catherine.
00:16:34We'll get married soon as I graduate.
00:16:36I will marry anyone but you.
00:16:37Miss Sinclair really has it all.
00:16:40Beauty and brains.
00:16:41I heard H&C Pharma reached out to her recently for a collaboration.
00:16:45H&C Pharma?
00:16:47You mean the one that came out of nowhere and became the industry leader almost overnight?
00:16:52Catherine.
00:16:53Everything I've done, I've done it all for you.
00:16:56You hear that?
00:16:57The gap between you and my sister is getting wider and wider.
00:17:00Did you bother to ask who sent that invitation?
00:17:02The chairman of H&C Pharma, obviously.
00:17:05What, are you going to say it was you?
00:17:07First, I have some exciting news.
00:17:10The chairman of H&C Pharma has personally appointed me as the company's CEO.
00:17:15He's also signing a long-term contract with the Sinclair Group worth tens of millions.
00:17:20Tens of millions?
00:17:21My God, I heard the chairman is young, handsome, and a total genius.
00:17:25Wait, is he interested in Miss Sinclair?
00:17:27The Sinclair family is about to soar to new heights.
00:17:30Catherine starts at H&T Pharma tomorrow.
00:17:32Next, and this is the most important part of today, I have some wonderful news to announce
00:17:40to everyone.
00:17:42While I was studying abroad, there was someone who waited for me for five years, quietly,
00:17:49faithfully.
00:17:51Today, on such an important day, I want all of you to witness something for me.
00:17:55Oh my God.
00:17:56I was going to propose to her tonight.
00:17:58I can't believe she got to it first.
00:17:59When her grandpa and my sister's getting here, they have to be here for the biggest moment
00:18:03of my life.
00:18:03I am going to propose to this man.
00:18:07He is the heir of the Ryder family.
00:18:12My love, Damien Ryder.
00:18:23We'll get married soon as I graduate.
00:18:25I will marry anyone but you.
00:18:26What a handsome couple.
00:18:28A perfect match.
00:18:35See that?
00:18:36You were never in her league.
00:18:38Now do you know your place?
00:18:40Catherine, what's wrong?
00:18:41Nothing.
00:18:42This is my love, Damien Ryder.
00:18:44He's the man I will spend the rest of my life with.
00:18:49Our wedding will be held in just a few days.
00:18:51Catherine!
00:18:57Elliot personally invited us to this banquet.
00:18:59I don't care what any of you have going on.
00:19:01Drop it.
00:19:02Be there on time.
00:19:04Come on, Grandpa.
00:19:05He's the baby of the family.
00:19:06We drop anything for him.
00:19:08I canceled all my bookings half a month in advance.
00:19:11Don't worry, Grandpa.
00:19:12Nothing is more important than our little brother's business.
00:19:15We'll be there right away.
00:19:20Five years.
00:19:22I waited five years.
00:19:23You promised me that when you came back, we'd get married.
00:19:25So tell me, Catherine, what's this?
00:19:27I'm sorry, Elliot.
00:19:28I know I hurt you.
00:19:29But you should have seen the truth a long time ago.
00:19:31Seen what?
00:19:32Your background, your status, your place in life.
00:19:36None of it ever matched mine.
00:19:38And now I've risen even higher.
00:19:41You still think you deserve me?
00:19:43Don't make me laugh.
00:19:44Damien and I are getting married soon.
00:19:46Please stop bothering us.
00:19:48So what about our promise?
00:19:51That was in the past.
00:19:52People change.
00:19:53Someone with nothing, like you, was never worthy of me.
00:19:57Now only Damien can give me the happiness I want.
00:20:02So that's how it is.
00:20:04This kid is delusional.
00:20:05He really thinks he can steal a woman from the rider heir?
00:20:08Exactly.
00:20:09He should take a good look at who he is.
00:20:11As if Miss Sinclair would ever choose someone like him.
00:20:14Hurts, doesn't it?
00:20:16Getting tossed aside by the woman you love.
00:20:18Take my advice and just give up.
00:20:21So in your heart, money, power, and status are more important than true feelings?
00:20:26True feelings?
00:20:27I'm now the president of Eclipse Group.
00:20:29I've also received him from HNC Pharma with orders worth tens of millions waiting for me.
00:20:33You want to be with me now, isn't it just for my money?
00:20:36Damien is the heir of the Rider family.
00:20:38Only a man like him is worthy of spending his life with me.
00:20:41Are you saying I'm not good enough for you?
00:20:45That's right.
00:20:46You're not good enough for her.
00:20:47I'm the one who's suitable.
00:20:49Elliot, if you really love me, then you should understand me.
00:20:52Support me.
00:20:53Making a scene won't help either of us.
00:20:55Please leave before this gets any uglier.
00:21:01Catherine, do you have any idea what I've given up for you over these years?
00:21:05I heard about it.
00:21:06You started a company for me over these past five years.
00:21:08I'm touched.
00:21:09But unfortunately, a little company like that is of no help to me at all.
00:21:13So this is your way of trying to marry into the Sinclair family?
00:21:17A share transfer agreement for some little company like that is nothing but a joke to us.
00:21:22You're right.
00:21:22It is a joke.
00:21:24All these years, I was blind.
00:21:32You, Catherine Sinclair, will never get these shares.
00:21:38Catherine, you will regret what you've done today.
00:21:42Who is this guy?
00:21:44How dare he talk to the CEO of Eclipse Group like that?
00:21:46He doesn't look like he comes from money.
00:21:48But honestly, Catherine did move on pretty fast.
00:21:51All right, all right.
00:21:52Today is Catherine's homecoming celebration.
00:21:55Let's enjoy ourselves and ignore this lunaturk.
00:21:58Don't be in such a hurry to leave.
00:22:01Have a drink before you go.
00:22:06Ow, that hurts.
00:22:10How dare you hit my son?
00:22:13Elliot, even if you're angry at me, you shouldn't hurt Damien.
00:22:16I didn't even touch him.
00:22:17And you say I hurt him?
00:22:19Enough!
00:22:19I don't care about whatever relationship you have, and I don't want to.
00:22:23But now my son is being dragged into this.
00:22:25I want you to deal with this bastard.
00:22:27Now!
00:22:28Elliot, take the hint and get the hell out.
00:22:31Don't make a scene.
00:22:32Eclipse.
00:22:46You accused me of something I didn't do, and now you tell me to get lost?
00:22:50If anything happens to Damien, you'll regret it!
00:22:57You dare hit me?
00:22:58Enough!
00:22:59Elliot, this is not the place to make a scene,
00:23:01and this was your fault from the beginning!
00:23:03My fault?
00:23:08This is the first time Elliot has invited us to a meal.
00:23:10So tonight, we're eating well and having a good time.
00:23:14You got it, Grandpa.

00:34:16you've got some nerve open your eyes wide and look carefully this is our chairman
00:34:20a little kid like you thinks he can impersonate him
00:34:23this really doesn't look like him at all
00:34:27the real h and c pharma chairman is dashing and dignified
00:34:30go take a look at yourself in the mirror a bumplin from the countryside
00:34:33and you dare impersonate him
00:34:35how do you prove yourself
00:34:37this kid is hilarious
00:34:38daring to impersonate our chairman
00:34:40he's got some real nerve
00:34:43we've got a lot of nerve telling our ceo to get out
00:34:46in my opinion you're the one who should get lost
00:34:48exactly
00:34:48damn this is all because my secretary jennifer said i look too young
00:34:52and childish in my clothes
00:34:54and that business partners will take advantage of me
00:34:56so she dressed me up to look so mature
00:34:58i founded h and c pharma with my own hands
00:35:01i don't need to prove anything at all
00:35:02but since you insist so much i can have you meet someone
00:35:05someone who can prove my identity
00:35:16hello william
00:35:17come to the service hall
00:35:18i have something to handle
00:35:27is he really the chairman
00:35:29he could directly summon william the head of r&d
00:35:39even if you bring william here so what
00:35:42maybe this is just a little show you staged in advance huh
00:35:46boss you call for me
00:35:49william the head of team five here seems to have some doubts about my identity
00:35:52tell him who i am
00:35:54this is indeed our chairman elliot
00:35:56he is not only the founder of this company but also the leader of all of us
00:36:01what how is that possible oh my god he really is the chairman how do we not recognize him
00:36:08no way he must be lying to us
00:36:11that's right you're just playing tricks
00:36:13kathy don't believe a word he says
00:36:15even if you're going to impersonate the chairman at least come up with a better reason
00:36:18how could you possibly be him
00:36:20i don't need to impersonate anyone this company was mine from the start
00:36:25you're the ones who trespassed and tried to seize my position
00:36:28what you've done is already illegal
00:36:31you heard him leave the company immediately or we'll have our legal team handle this
00:36:41don't listen to him
00:36:42there's no way he's the chairman
00:36:44he's a fraud

00:41:03how could he be the chairman of hnc pharma
00:41:06right
00:41:06there must be some misunderstanding
00:41:08there's no way it's him
00:41:10jennifer called him boss
00:41:11and just now
00:41:13i was about to throw him out
00:41:14thank goodness you stopped me just now
00:41:16otherwise i would have offended the chairman
00:41:18if i genuinely offended the chairman
00:41:19what difference that between

00:42:14you're really the chairman of hnc
00:42:15what
00:42:16finally facing reality
00:42:18how is that possible
00:42:19you're just a powerless lowly waiter
00:42:21how could you have built hnc in just five years
00:42:24that is practically an impossible achievement
00:42:26isn't the fact right in front of you
00:42:28how does it just happen to be your company
00:42:30do you expect us to believe that kind of coincidence
00:42:32because it was never a coincidence
00:42:34hnc was named after me and katherine
00:42:36h stands for harrington
00:42:37c stands for katherine
00:42:39katherine studied biomedicine
00:42:40so five years ago
00:42:41i built this company
00:42:42so
00:42:43you built this company for me
00:42:45your family and mine were never on the same level
00:42:48so for five years
00:42:49i pushed hnc to the very top
00:42:50all for one reason
00:42:51i wanted to hand it to you when you came back
00:42:53so my family would agree to let us be together
00:42:55turns out i wasted my heart on the wrong person
00:42:58katherine you have deeply disappointed me
00:43:00give it to me
00:43:01so you were originally going to give hnc to me
00:43:04hnc originally belonged to me
00:43:06yeah
00:43:07but i'm very glad you didn't take it
00:43:09didn't you say this was just some little company beneath you
00:43:11no i didn't
00:43:13could it be
00:43:14that share transfer agreement that day
00:43:17was that
00:43:17you finally remember
00:43:19didn't your father say that share transfer agreement
00:43:21was a joke
00:43:23i
00:43:23i told you
00:43:26you would regret this
00:43:28all these years
00:43:29i was lying

00:43:34you will regret what you've done today
00:43:36elliot i really didn't know that share transfer agreement was for hnc
00:43:39i had no idea
00:43:41looks like you know what regret feels like now
00:43:43i do regret it a bit now
00:43:44and i didn't know you'd done so much for me

00:43:49katherine
00:43:50elliot give me one more chance
00:43:52i graduated from a german biotech lab
00:43:55there's no one in this country with credentials like mine
00:43:58you think that's possible
00:43:59it's too late for regret now
00:44:01serves you right
00:44:02that's what you get for breaking the boss's heart
00:44:05elliot
00:44:05i've already put the word out that i'm joining hnc as your ceo today
00:44:10all my relatives and friends already know
00:44:12you can't ruin my career
00:44:14for the sake of our eight years together you
00:44:16don't get it wrong
00:44:17i'm not ruining your future you ruined it yourself
00:44:19katherine sinclair
00:44:20you brought all of this on yourself
00:44:24why
00:44:24how did this happen
00:44:26hnc was supposed to be ours
00:44:28how did it turn out like this
00:44:30boss was going to give hnc to this tramp
00:44:32unbelievable
00:44:33after all that scheming
00:44:35she still ended up with nothing
00:44:36serves her right
00:44:38that was tens of millions
00:44:39elliot
00:44:40give me one more chance
00:44:42for the sake of our eight years together
00:44:44i'll treasure this opportunity and won't let you down
00:44:48enough
00:44:49i don't want to say another word to you right now
00:44:51you backstabbing ungrateful villain
00:44:53just thinking about having been with you makes me sick
00:44:56katherine
00:44:56get out of here
00:44:57i never want to see you again in my life
00:45:01can't be
00:45:01don't beg him
00:45:02my cousin jacks landon is the president of westfall group
00:45:05i'll go ask him
00:45:06he can get you a good job too
00:45:07don't worry
00:45:08as long as i'm here
00:45:09i won't let anyone the street
00:45:12elliot i'm
00:45:13security
00:45:14throw them out of here
00:45:15don't let them dirty my eyes any longer
00:45:20hey
00:45:21hey
00:45:24everyone
00:45:24stop right now
00:45:26jacks
00:45:30what the hell is going on here
00:45:31he humiliated me
00:45:36who is he
00:45:37he is jacks langton
00:45:39son of the chairman of westfall pharmaceuticals
00:45:42i didn't expect jacks to be damien's cousin
00:45:44but that's not important
00:45:45what matters is whether he'll follow the westall chairman's advice and work with us
00:45:50jacks is very aggressive and hard to deal with
00:45:53westfall's chairman was originally open to working with us but he clearly isn't
00:45:56that's not a problem
00:45:57agency's strength speaks for itself
00:45:59and i will secure the novogen labs patent
00:46:02sorry
00:46:03but westfield pharmaceuticals refuses to cooperate with agency
00:46:07jacks may i ask why you're unwilling to cooperate with us
00:46:10you insulted my cousin and his fiancee
00:46:13of course i won't cooperate with you
00:46:17westfield pharma brings clinical expertise
00:46:19agency brings world-class equipment
00:46:21together we'd be a force to be reckoned
00:46:23and we will secure the novogen patent
00:46:27don't flatter yourself
00:46:29only by hitching a ride on westall pharmaceuticals coattails
00:46:33can you successfully get the patent without westall parma
00:46:36h and c is nothing
00:46:41jacks i believe before you came your father already told you about h and c's achievements and position in the
00:46:47industry
00:46:48don't jump to conclusions so rashly
00:46:49before i came my father kept telling me how outstanding you are now that i've met you and you're nothing
00:46:55special
00:46:55let me tell you i have my own judgment stop lecturing me here
00:47:02jacks this cooperation was personally proposed by your father i hope you can set aside your prejudice against me and
00:47:08take a good look at this project we can definitely achieve a win-win cooperation
00:47:13stop using my father to fool me let me tell you i'm in charge of westfield
00:47:18premise steward seats i decide who we cooperate with
00:47:21i've been following this cooperation all along i know very well how much effort your father has put into this
00:47:26you must think twice
00:47:27fine then let me tell you westdale pharmaceuticals wants high profits
00:47:32but h and c wants low price competition
00:47:34of course we're not willing
00:47:36i didn't expect you to think that way
00:47:38allowing more ordinary people to access gene therapy injections
00:47:41saving more patients
00:47:43isn't that better
00:47:50i'm a businessman
00:47:51not a charity
00:47:53do you have any idea how much one gene therapy injection cells for out there
00:47:58millions
00:47:58even tens of millions
00:48:02cousin that's what i call confidence
00:48:05i'm a harvard phd in finance with a master's in biomedicine
00:48:10and you're what
00:48:13some third-rate graduate from god knows where
00:48:15who the hell are you to tell me what to do
00:48:21compare yourself to me
00:48:23please
00:48:24you're a joke
00:48:25don't think just because you started some little rinky dink company that you're some big shot
00:48:29you'll be nothing more than a waiter your whole life
00:48:32sounds like you've made up your mind to reject hic
00:48:34i'm just curious
00:48:36does mr langday know you're speaking for him
00:48:39let me tell you one more time
00:48:40my company
00:48:41my call
00:48:42stop putting on airs here
00:48:43biomological r&d has always been high cost and high risk
00:48:46burning through billions for 10 years and end up with nothing happens all the time
00:48:49now we finally have an effective gene therapy shot
00:48:52what's wrong with recovering our costs
00:48:53there's certainly nothing wrong with making money
00:48:55but one must have a conscience
00:48:56gene therapy for cancer and inherited diseases is already priced beyond reason
00:49:00ordinary families shouldn't have to lose everything for one chance to survive
00:49:04hnc's goal is to make these treatments affordable for the people who need them most
00:49:09not throw away our conscience just to make a profit
00:49:15elliot you really think you're some kind of savior
00:49:17do you realize that if gene therapy injections were that easy to develop and crack
00:49:22there wouldn't be so many research labs going bankrupt
00:49:25exactly besides with your abilities
00:49:28you're not even fit to shine my cousin's shoes
00:49:31if he cooperated with your company
00:49:33wouldn't lose his shirt
00:49:35i'm done wasting my breath on him
00:49:36let's go
00:49:37jacks
00:49:40for john's sake i'll say one last thing to you
00:49:42if you don't cooperate with hsc
00:49:44you definitely won't get the nova gen labs patents
00:49:47who do you think you are
00:49:48you dare threaten me
00:49:49let me tell you one more time
00:49:51not only will i not cooperate with hnc
00:49:53i'll also kick you out of the biopharmaceutical industry entirely
00:49:56get lost now
00:49:57elliot
00:49:58soon hnc will be nothing
00:50:01stop wasting words on him
00:50:02tomorrow i'll show you just how badly you'll crash and burn
00:50:06let's go
00:50:07jacks
00:50:08if you walk out that door today
00:50:09you'll never get the chance to cooperate with hnc again
00:50:13ever
00:50:22boss
00:50:22what do we do
00:50:24there's also the john's group
00:50:26with extensive clinical experience in the country
00:50:28get me mr john's on the line
00:50:40that fraud elliot actually said you'd regret it
00:50:42how ridiculous
00:50:44regret
00:50:45who the hell is he
00:50:46he'll be the one regretting it
00:50:47look how badly he humiliated me and kathy
00:50:49after this will be a joke in the entire industry
00:50:51you've got to back us up
00:50:53cousin
00:50:53we're family
00:50:54you can't just leave us to deal with this alone
00:50:58jacks
00:50:59kathy is the chief medical officer at a german biotech lab
00:51:02someone with her expertise could be very useful to you
00:51:04that's right
00:51:05kathy is exceptional
00:51:07we'll both be relying on your support going forward
00:51:09don't worry
00:51:09at tomorrow's nova gen labs investment summit
00:51:12i'll tear off that kid elliot's hypocritical mask in public
00:51:15i'll make him understand that hnc pharma is absolutely nothing

00:52:12praising him every day
00:52:14my ears are growing callous from it
00:52:16seriously dad
00:52:17why do you keep praising someone else's son every day
00:52:20your own son
00:52:21me

00:57:46elliot
00:57:47all the industry leaders have already made their stances clear
00:57:50they'll only follow weston pharmaceuticals
00:57:53they won't have even the smartest cooperation with hnc
00:57:57without hnc
00:57:58none of you will get today's patent
00:58:03he actually thinks he's important
00:58:06let me tell you
00:58:07today isn't just novagen labs investment summit
00:58:10it's also the 26th birthday banquet of the harrington family's young master
00:58:13they'll invest in our alliance and hnc won't get a single cent
00:58:17you people are going way too far
00:58:19so it seems the star of today's summit
00:58:22is this harrington family young master
00:58:25of course
00:58:26too bad you won't get the chance to meet him today
00:58:28is that so

00:58:36what's going on here
00:58:38mr. johns
00:58:39i heard you formed an alliance with westfield pharmaceuticals to kick me out of
00:58:43heishi's pharmaceutical industry
00:58:44it seems you're rejecting the cooperation terms i offered you on the phone yesterday
00:58:48i'm still thinking it over that's why i haven't given you a clear answer
00:58:54mr. johns i'd like to know too
00:58:56have you made up your mind yet
00:59:01mr. johns there's no future with hnc
00:59:04you need to think very carefully about this
00:59:07mr. johns all the pharmaceutical companies in all of california have already formed an alliance
00:59:12do you want to be kicked out too just like hnc
00:59:14mr. johns
00:59:15reducing costs and making prices accessible to ordinary people
00:59:20that's the sustainable path

01:00:26i'm leading both the funding and the technology
01:00:28you can take a look
01:00:30no way
01:00:31a company like theirs would never partner with some nobody little firm like hnc
01:00:35jacks
01:00:36the official seal on this agreement is indeed nova gen labs's seal
01:00:41so
01:00:41have you made your choice

01:01:02mr. johns please think this through
01:01:05hnc has real weight in california
01:01:07mr. johns with us backing you johns pharma will be the name in california

01:01:23trust me
01:01:24this will be the best decision your company ever made
01:01:27enough
01:01:28i've made my decision
01:01:29i'm partnering with westfeld pharma
01:01:32you've gone too far
01:01:33you're going to pay for this
01:01:35jacks business has winners and losers that's normal
01:01:38but here's some advice
01:01:39don't burn every bridge on your way up
01:01:43get lost
01:01:44you're not welcome here
01:01:45funny
01:01:46i know people inside who would say otherwise
01:01:48today is the harrington air's 26th birthday
01:01:52every elite family in the country is here
01:01:54this is our shot at getting into the harrington's inner circle
01:01:59and there is no way we're letting you anywhere near that door
01:02:02i brought the harrington air a gift big enough to buy his attention
01:02:06and i'll be his favorite new partner today
01:02:08then i'll have him pour money into our medical alliance
01:02:13westfeld is only going higher
01:02:15as for hnc
01:02:17we're going to eat you alive
01:02:20you're nothing but bullies
01:02:22what makes you so sure the harrington air would be friends with you
01:02:27i'm a harvard educated top scholar
01:02:29and the sole air to westfield
01:02:31and you
01:02:32just some nobody from a third-rate university
01:02:34what do you have to compare with us high society people
01:02:37huh
01:02:40it seems you measures friends by educational background and social status
01:02:44but i think the harrington air would certainly not agree with your views
01:02:50how ridiculous
01:02:52he'd agree with you over me
01:02:53it seems you and i have nothing more to say to each other

01:14:36mr landham out of respect for you i was prepared to renew our contract but jack's behavior today
01:14:42has been deeply disappointing so i've decided westville pharmaceuticals will never have any further

01:15:27jacks langdon you're the one who formed that so-called pharmaceutical alliance and kicked
01:15:32out agency that's right i've built a pharmaceutical alliance and it's growing stronger by the day
01:15:37you should invest in us as for agency pharma they're not even worthy of joining us
01:15:47mrs harrington with novogen labs behind us this venture is bound to thrive
01:15:52exactly miss harrington we're better than agency in every way partnering with us is the best choice
01:15:57you can make and what makes you think slapping together some alliance entitles you to my money
01:16:03ever since you took over harrington global you've turned every move into a legend you're truly a genius
01:16:08in every sense of the word i have no doubt you'll make the right call you're right about one thing
01:16:15i always
01:16:16do and my decision is no i will not invest in you what why anyone who bullies my little brother
01:16:31is
