Transcript

00:00:03Mr. Sterling, Ms. Abigail Julia has already gone to the office.

00:00:08I'm Theodore Sterling, CEO of Sterling Group.

00:00:11She is the Julianne family heir.

00:00:13Our engagement was supposed to unite two business empires.

00:00:16But now...

00:00:17She said she is not going through with the wedding.

00:00:20Fine. Send her to my office.

00:00:21The day before I signed the acquisition deal, she fell for someone else.

00:00:25She thinks she only ruined a marriage.

00:00:27She has no idea she just ruined the entire Julianne family.

00:00:30Mr. Sterling, what about the Julianne family investment?

00:00:33Send it back. Review it again.

00:00:35But if we do that, the Julianne family cash flow will collapse.

00:00:38The whole group...

00:00:38I said, review it again.

00:00:40Yes, sir.

00:00:48Theodore Sterling, I am not marrying you.

00:00:53It is signed. From now on, we are done.

00:00:57Why?

00:00:58I fell in love with someone else.

00:01:00He understands me better than you ever did.

00:01:02Fine. The engagement is off. Just tell your father.

00:01:05That is strange. Why did he agree so quickly?

00:01:08Theodore, do you really not care at all?

00:01:12Or are you just pretending?

00:01:14After ten years, did you not feel sad for even one second?

00:01:18If you want out of this marriage contract, I respect your choice.

00:01:23I think you have been waiting for this day.

00:01:26You stopped loving me long ago.

00:01:28Then one more question.

00:01:30Who is the man worth giving all this up for?

00:01:33Leon Hart.

00:01:34Got it.

00:01:34You are not going to get back at me, are you?

00:01:37You know very well I never act on impulse.

00:01:43Mr. Sterling.

00:01:44Tell legal to issue a statement cancelling the engagement.

00:01:47Keep it factual.

00:01:48After it is released, we will not respond to media speculation.

00:01:52Should we suspend the three projects her family has with us?

00:01:57Do not suspend them yet.

00:02:00Stop injecting new funds first, then watch the market reaction.

00:02:03Understood.

00:02:04I will take care of it right away.

00:02:12Come back.

00:02:14Look into Leon Hart.

00:02:15Find out exactly what he does.

00:02:17Mr. Sterling, are you looking into your rival?

00:02:18I am running a risk review on the Julian family projects.

00:02:21Business is not built on sentiment.

00:02:22I will not let a cancelled engagement affect the whole group.

00:02:24I was thinking too small.

00:02:26Notify every shareholder.

00:02:27Emergency meeting tomorrow morning.

00:02:29I owe them an explanation.

00:02:31Right away.

00:02:32Also, your dinner with the port of Arati is tonight.

00:02:34The driver is ready.

00:02:35Got it.

00:02:43What is wrong, Mr. Sterling?

00:02:45You look like something is on your mind.

00:02:47Theodore, I am sorry.

00:02:49Abigail was foolish to call off the engagement on her own.

00:02:52Our families go back decades.

00:02:54I will deal with her when I get home.

00:02:56Please do not hold it against her.

00:02:58Abigail's personal choice has nothing to do with you.

00:03:01You do not need to apologize.

00:03:03Good.

00:03:04Then my daughter divorcing you will not affect business between our families, right?

00:03:09Our companies have always followed proper business procedures.

00:03:12My private marriage will not affect family cooperation.

00:03:16Hear that?

00:03:17I told you Theodore knows the rules.

00:03:20Our cooperation will be just fine.

00:03:22What a fool.

00:03:23No wonder my daughter had him wrapped around her finger.

00:03:27He is the perfect cash cow.

00:03:35A coward after all.

00:03:37With two generations of friendship tying him down, he would never dare cancel our cooperation.

00:03:42Boss, we found information on Leon Hart.

00:03:44Is this a good time?

00:03:48Go ahead.

00:03:49Yes, sir.

00:03:50Our investigation shows Leon Hart rushed into a marriage three years ago

00:03:54and drained $30 million from his ex-wife's family trust within two months, bankrupting them.

00:04:01Understood.

00:04:03Leon Hart is smooth-talking and good at exploiting local legal loopholes.

00:04:07Ms. Abigail Julian is inviting a wolf into the house.

00:04:11I honestly do not understand why she would leave you for a man like that.

00:04:15You said it yourself.

00:04:16He is smooth-talking.

00:04:17Then...

00:04:18Tell the relevant departments to repair to end all cooperation with the Julian family.

00:04:23Yes, sir.

00:04:28Charles, I heard Abigail got married right after calling it off.

00:04:32Aren't you worried Theodore will cut off your cooperation?

00:04:36Theodore would not dare.

00:04:37Our families have worked together for more than 20 years.

00:04:41The Sterlings will keep investing in us.

00:04:43My daughter broke the engagement.

00:04:45Even if she cheated in public, would he dare say a word?

00:04:48You Julians really play hardball.

00:04:58Theodore Sterling, what did you mean by liking my wedding photo with Leon Hart?

00:05:03Was that a warning?

00:05:04Or were you just trying to save your pathetic-like dignity?

00:05:08Exactly what it looked like.

00:05:10Stop pretending.

00:05:11I know you hate me, but Leon and I are true love.

00:05:15He can give me what a cold-blooded machine like you never could.

00:05:20I hope that was not fake politeness.

00:05:23I want a real blessing from you.

00:05:25Do not worry.

00:05:26I sincerely wish you both the best.

00:05:28You had better remember what you said to-

00:05:36Mr. Sterling, every department is ready to end all cooperation with the Julian family.

00:05:41Good, move now.

00:05:42Is this too fast?

00:05:43After all their ties with the former chairman?

00:05:46The Sterling family runs on interests, not feelings.

00:05:49Understood.

00:05:50According to reports, the Sterling family has ended its marriage arrangement with the Julian family.

00:05:54Reason has not been disclosed.

00:05:56However, our sources say Ms. Abigail Julian maintained an improper long-term relationship with another man

00:06:02and may have been unfaithful during the engagement.

00:06:05The group statement was fine.

00:06:07The media is just making things up.

00:06:16Theodore Sterling, get out here!

00:06:18You bastard!

00:06:18You drove us into a dead end and then hit away!

00:06:21Mr. Julian, Mr. Sterling is-

00:06:26This is all your fault.

00:06:27You announced the divorce at a time like this and got several of our projects cancelled.

00:06:32This is malicious defamation.

00:06:34We can sue you.

00:06:35Withdraw that statement right now or decades of friendship between our families ends today.

00:06:42Mr. Julian, I do not understand what you mean.

00:06:45You do not understand?

00:06:47Our family had already closed several deals and you released the divorce statement right then?

00:06:53Do you know how much damage you caused us?

00:06:58This is blatant revenge.

00:07:00I do not see it that way.

00:07:02You still will not admit it!

00:07:04First, you publicly posted your wedding photos on social media.

00:07:07As CEO of Sterling Group, I had to announce the news and explain it to our shareholders and employees.

00:07:11She was just acting out.

00:07:13Could you not have waited a few days?

00:07:15The engagement is over.

00:07:16I need to clarify my single status to the shareholders so we can reassess future marriage alliances.

00:07:21Besides, a rated party that may go bankrupt at any moment does not deserve our time.

00:07:25You are obviously taking revenge because I married Leon Hart!

00:07:28I am handling business.

00:07:29Handling business?

00:07:30Fine.

00:07:31You had better not rig tomorrow's funding review.

00:07:33If you push us too far, I will not let you get away with it.

00:07:35Rest assured.

00:07:36The funding review starts at 9 tomorrow morning.

00:07:39Mr. Julian, if you are free, you are welcome to sit in.

00:07:42You will get the information first hand.

00:07:45Fine.

00:07:45I want to see what you are up to.

00:07:49See them out.

00:07:50This way, please.

00:07:51Let's go.

00:07:52Do not beg this cold-blooded man.

00:07:54I am here.

00:07:55He will not hurt you.

00:08:05Abigail, Sterling Group is holding its funding review today and asked me to sit in.

00:08:09Come with me.

00:08:10We need to see what they are planning.

00:08:11Dad, Theodore already said he would not retaliate over the marriage.

00:08:15There is no point going.

00:08:16No.

00:08:17Every move they make affects the entire business landscape in A-City.

00:08:20It never hurts to know more.

00:08:22After you called off the engagement yesterday, our shareholders were already nervous.

00:08:26Theodore letting us sit in shows an attitude.

00:08:29For the family, you have to go.

00:08:31Fine.

00:08:31I will go.

00:08:33He would not dare tamper with the funding review anyway.

00:08:36I hope so.

00:08:37Hector, our families go way back.

00:08:39The children breaking off the engagement will not affect the funding review, will it?

00:08:42Calling off the engagement is just a private matter between the kids.

00:08:45How could it affect cooperation between two families?

00:08:48If Theodore were that emotional, he would not be the successor I trained.

00:08:51I knew he would not dare.

00:09:00Did you hear that?

00:09:02Theodore does not run the group alone.

00:09:04With these old guard members here, he has to follow the rules.

00:09:08I knew he would not dare act recklessly.

00:09:10Mr. Sterling is here.

00:09:23Begin.

00:09:25Bring up the Julian Group evaluation data.

00:09:30The data shows Julian Group's financial risk rating has fallen to D,

00:09:34and the returns on its projects with us are below expectations.

00:09:37Julian Group's cash flow has already broken.

00:09:39Its short-term debt now stands at $40 million.

00:09:42In that case, I recommend withdrawing our funds.

00:09:45Withdrawing now is indeed good for us.

00:09:46But outsiders will say we are retaliating against Abigail for the engagement,

00:09:49and that will hurt our reputation.

00:09:51Reputation depends on asset safety, not empty sympathy.

00:09:54That is why I brought everyone here so they could understand our position.

00:09:57Are you sure about this?

00:09:58No.

00:09:58You cannot cut off our investment.

00:10:00You are trying to kill us.

00:10:02After decades of friendship, are you really going to wipe us out?

00:10:04Theodore Sterling, this is revenge.

00:10:07You do not deserve to be CEO.

00:10:09Abigail, the data just shown came from major banks.

00:10:12This decision is based on our group's real interests.

00:10:16If you disagree with the result, say so now.

00:10:20Since no one has anything to add, we will vote now.

00:10:30It is over.

00:10:32It is all over.

00:10:35No.

00:10:36You cannot withdraw the funds.

00:10:41Mrs. Abigail Julian, please sit down.

00:10:44You are only an observer.

00:10:45You have no vote.

00:10:49Theodore Sterling, you cannot do this.

00:10:53The vote is over.

00:10:55Thank you, shareholders, for your understanding.

00:10:57The resolution passes unanimously.

00:10:59Notify the relevant department heads and execute it immediately.

00:11:03Yes.

00:11:07This is revenge.

00:11:10It was just a broken engagement.

00:11:12Did you have to push us towards ruin?

00:11:18Meeting adjourned.

00:11:26Hector, our families have worked together for 30 years.

00:11:30What is this supposed to mean?

00:11:32You cannot just stand by and watch us go under.

00:11:35Charles, I have already stepped back.

00:11:37My son speaks for the company now.

00:11:39I am a retired old man without even a vote at the shareholders meeting.

00:11:42How can I help you?

00:11:44Please help us.

00:11:45Think of something.

00:11:47Rules are rules.

00:11:48I should go fishing.

00:11:49As for your troubles, you are on your own.

00:12:00Look at me!

00:12:01Do you dare say this is not revenge?

00:12:03You just hate that I married Leon Hart.

00:12:13I am not taking revenge.

00:12:16Your group's project data is all in the report.

00:12:18Check it yourself.

00:12:21Should you not care about how I feel?

00:12:29Abigail, I am the CEO of Sterling Group.

00:12:33I am responsible only for the company's safety.

00:12:41You have changed.

00:12:42So have you.

00:13:02You people!

00:13:04I am sorry.

00:13:05This is my wife, Abigail.

00:13:07She is under too much pressure.

00:13:09Please forgive her.

00:13:10I do not think this deal is worth discussing anymore.

00:13:13My fleet cannot risk working with a group that could blow up at any moment.

00:13:17This is ridiculous.

00:13:26Darling, calm down.

00:13:28What happened?

00:13:29Did Theodore come after you again?

00:13:32He is insane.

00:13:36Theodore halted the cooperation projects with my family.

00:13:40All of them?

00:13:41Yes.

00:13:42If this goes on, our group will run out of cash.

00:13:45Do not panic, baby.

00:13:47How about I go talk to Theodore?

00:13:49You?

00:13:50If you go to him, will he listen?

00:13:52I do have friends in A-City.

00:13:54Thomas at Gulf Energy and Marcus, a senior bank executive, are old friends of mine.

00:13:58Then hurry and talk to them.

00:14:00Our group is counting on you.

00:14:02Do not worry.

00:14:03We set up a dinner, offer them the new projects, add a $10 million commission, and they can pressure

00:14:08Theodore into taking back the order.

00:14:11Really?

00:14:12Leon, you are not lying to me?

00:14:16When have I ever lied to you?

00:14:17You are my lawful wife now.

00:14:19Your family business is my family business.

00:14:34Leon Hart, what brings you to me today?

00:14:37Thomas, long time no see.

00:14:39It has been a while.

00:14:40What have you been busy with?

00:14:42Getting married, mostly.

00:14:44Inviting me to the wedding party?

00:14:45Forget it.

00:14:47Everyone in A-City knows about your high-profile wedding with Abigail.

00:14:51Mr. Thomas, I have something urgent.

00:14:52My wife's family group has had a small disagreement with her former fiancé, Sterling Group.

00:14:56Sterling Group suspended our investment.

00:14:57Since you work with Sterling Group, I am hosting a dinner.

00:15:00Could you help for Theodore to think of the big picture and not act emotionally?

00:15:03Mediator?

00:15:04Are you kidding me?

00:15:05You stole Theodore Spurring's fiancé, and now you want me to talk him down?

00:15:10Leon, face reality.

00:15:11One word from Theodore Spurring can push you out.

00:15:14I am not stepping into this mess.

00:15:16I have also invited Mr. Marcus.

00:15:18We are just waiting on you.

00:15:20Wait, Marcus will be there too?

00:15:22Fine.

00:15:23Let us meet and talk.

00:15:24Fine.

00:15:25Eight tonight, golf club.

00:15:26Please be on time.

00:15:27Good.

00:15:28Golf club.

00:15:29See you there.

00:15:30Done.

00:15:35I knew you were more useful than that cold-bloodied finance machine.

00:15:39Our family is counting on you this time.

00:15:42Do not worry.

00:15:43I said I would help you, and I will not watch the group collapse.

00:15:49I will call Marcus now.

00:15:54Who is this?

00:15:58Marcus, my man.

00:15:59It is me, Leon Hart.

00:16:01Leon Hart, who are you?

00:16:03I am the founder of Hart Media.

00:16:05Do you remember me?

00:16:06Ah, right.

00:16:07I heard you and Abigail just had your wedding.

00:16:10Congratulations.

00:16:12Mr. Marcus, you have a long-term partnership with Sterling Group, right?

00:16:15I am hosting a dinner tonight.

00:16:17Thomas and Theodore Sterling from Sterling Group will both be there.

00:16:20Mr. Marcus, let us look after each other in business from now on.

00:16:23There will be plenty in it for you.

00:16:25Exactly.

00:16:25If we stick together, the future is bright.

00:16:28How about dinner tonight?

00:16:29If Thomas and Theodore Sterling are both going...

00:16:32Fine.

00:16:33See you tonight.

00:16:36Now only Theodore Slaving is left.

00:16:40Leave him to me.

00:16:46Theodore, Leon and I think we need to sit down and talk.

00:16:49Eight tonight, golf club.

00:16:50I will give you 30 minutes.

00:16:52Bring every cash flow record from your group.

00:16:54Know what you want to say before you come, and do not waste my time.

00:16:57You agreed to negotiate?

00:17:02Do you really think Marcus and Thomas can convince Theodore to withdraw the order?

00:17:06Just wait and see.

00:17:11Leon, why did you invite us here today?

00:17:14Is there a project you want to discuss?

00:17:16Besides us two, Theodore Sterling is coming too.

00:17:19Quite a lineup.

00:17:21If Mr. Sterling were not coming, I would not even bother with this kid.

00:17:26To be honest, I am in a tough spot.

00:17:27Theodore Sterling is abusing his power for personal revenge.

00:17:30Just because Abigail called off the engagement he went after to the cooperations between our families, it is childish.

00:17:35No way.

00:17:36Who does Leon Hart think he is, talking about Mr. Sterling like that?

00:17:39So what do you want?

00:17:40If you help us pressure him today, once cooperation resumes, I will give you 30% of the first phase

00:17:46profit.

00:17:48That is right.

00:17:49My family keeps its word.

00:17:51Then we will try to put in a word for you later.

00:17:54Thank you both.

00:18:01You did not tell me there would be other friends here.

00:18:05Theodore, right on time.

00:18:07Why the long face?

00:18:09Do you think sharing a table with us is beneath you?

00:18:12You are overthinking it.

00:18:25I just think sharing a table with you is beneath me.

00:18:34Theodore, can you reverse yesterday's vote to withdraw the funds?

00:18:38After two generations of friendship, how can you cut ties over one marriage?

00:18:44You are far too petty.

00:18:46These two dare talk to Mr. Sterling like this.

00:18:49Are they trying to die faster?

00:18:51Leon Hart stole another man's fiancée, and now he still has the nerve to talk big.

00:18:57If it were me, I would make him pay.

00:18:59Your group's returns have been below 3% for three straight quarters, and your debt ratio has jumped to 210%.

00:19:10Any company would do the same.

00:19:12As for revenge, Abigail, you are not important enough.

00:19:18Liar.

00:19:20You just can't accept that I married Leon, so you are trying to destroy us.

00:19:25Since you all care so much about friendship.

00:19:28Julian Group is $40 million short.

00:19:31Which of you will cover it?

00:19:33Pay up, and I will restart cooperation.

00:19:35Looks like your friendship is not worth much.

00:19:37Theodore, we will see.

00:19:40Leon says funding will hit our group soon.

00:19:42You will regret this.

00:19:43Leon Hart.

00:19:45Abigail, you had better pray it is not a scam.

00:19:53Theodore Sterling.

00:19:54Do you really want to know why Abigail Julian would rather take the blame and choose me instead of you?

00:20:00It doesn't matter.

00:20:11Mr. Sterling!

00:20:12Wait!

00:20:14Mr. Sterling, Leon Hart dragged us here tonight.

00:20:17Before this, we had no idea they were planning to come after you.

00:20:20Right.

00:20:21We won't give Leon Hart any support.

00:20:23Came tonight out of respect for you.

00:20:25Please don't mean to surstan us.

00:20:26Stay away from ports with rough waters.

00:20:29Ship Kasayev's there.

00:20:34That bastard Leon Hart used us as his weapon.

00:20:39Come on.

00:20:40Back to the private room.

00:20:41He is going to answer for this.

00:20:48That bastard Leon Hart used us as his weapon.

00:20:52Come on.

00:20:53Back to the private room.

00:20:54He is going to answer for this.

00:20:59Don't panic.

00:21:00Theodore Sterling pulled his funding because love turned to hate.

00:21:04The harder he lashes out, the more it proves he can't let you go.

00:21:06He is trying to kill me.

00:21:08Those old men on the board are already forcing my dad out.

00:21:10I'm here.

00:21:12Once that funding arrives, we can recover immediately.

00:21:23Gentlemen, you...

00:21:25You!

00:21:26Son of a bitch!

00:21:27Stop playing dumb!

00:21:28We don't care that you talk Abigail Julian into breaking off the engagement.

00:21:32But you made us offend Mr. Sterling.

00:21:35I'm going to settle that score with you!

00:21:36We're cutting you off for good.

00:21:38Not another cent goes into your pockets.

00:21:41You're finished.

00:21:51Mr. Sterling, every bank has downgraded the Julianne family credit rating to D.

00:21:57As expected.

00:21:58For years, they expanded on the funding we provided.

00:22:02Once we pull that funding, their operations will lapse-collapse immediately.

00:22:07Now, all the ports under their name are facing a full shutdown.

00:22:12Their cash flow has collapsed.

00:22:17What about Abigail Julianne?

00:22:19She tried to apply for loans to save herself, but without our endorsement, the banks rejected her outright.

00:22:26I imagine Julianne Group is already in chaos.

00:22:29Everyone.

00:22:30Theodore Sterling suddenly cutting off the bridge funding was indeed beyond my expectations.

00:22:35For that, Leon Hart, you broke off the engagement in public and humiliated Theodore Sterling online.

00:22:41Did you turn our survival into a bargain chip for your so-called true love?

00:22:46The banks are now demanding a payment of $40 million in short-term debt,

00:22:50all because you acted on your own and angered him.

00:22:54Why should all of us pay for your mistake?

00:22:58Everyone, ending the engagement is a private matter.

00:23:01The Julianne family and the Sterling family still have decades of friendship.

00:23:05We can still smooth this over.

00:23:07Friendship?

00:23:07Charles, if you can't discipline your daughter, don't blame us for being ruthless.

00:23:11Bring us a solution today, or we pull our money and see you in court.

00:23:14Yes, pull out.

00:23:16Abigail Julianne, you talk such a big game, don't you?

00:23:21Then tell us how you're filling the funding gap.

00:23:23Speak!

00:23:27This $40 million short-term debt.

00:23:31Please give us a few more days.

00:23:33I promise.

00:23:36With what?

00:23:37The group rating dropped to D last night, and even the carriers terminated their contracts.

00:23:41If you don't give us a plan today, this isn't over.

00:23:44One, I'll use my personal reputation and my remaining shares as collateral.

00:23:49Three days.

00:23:50Give us three more days.

00:23:52Charles Julianne, you had better keep your word.

00:23:54Otherwise, this isn't over.

00:23:56Let us go.

00:23:57Dad, it's all over.

00:23:59I'll go to Theodore Sterling myself.

00:24:01Right now, only he can save us.

00:24:04Mr. Charles Julianne is here to see you.

00:24:05I told him you were busy.

00:24:06I understand.

00:24:07Leave us.

00:24:08Yes, sir.

00:24:10Theodore Sterling, are you trying to drive our family to its death?

00:24:13Uncle Charles, I'm not the one driving Julianne Group to its death.

00:24:17You did that to yourselves.

00:24:18You suddenly pulled out all the funds, and the banks demanded repayment overnight.

00:24:23Are you telling me you weren't pulling strings behind the scenes?

00:24:26My group only wants safe returns.

00:24:29Julianne Group is now a high-risk asset, and I must be responsible to my group.

00:24:33Even if the engagement is gone, two generations of friendship and a full ten years together,

00:24:39are they truly worth nothing to you?

00:24:43Theodore Sterling, for the sake of our family's friendship, help Abigail Julianne.

00:24:49Otherwise, those people on the board will tear her apart.

00:24:51That's your problem.

00:24:52I can't help.

00:24:54Julianne Group's rating has fallen to D.

00:24:56We can't take on that default risk again.

00:24:58As long as you agree to restore your investment in us, the banks will raise our rating.

00:25:02We'll be saved.

00:25:03I can't find a reason to do that.

00:25:05Come in.

00:25:07Mr. Sterling, the final assessment for the new energy project is out.

00:25:11The payback cycle is short, and there's no co-guaranteed default risk.

00:25:15The funds originally reserved for Julianne can be transferred to this project in full.

00:25:19Transfer them now.

00:25:23Aren't you going to review it?

00:25:28No need.

00:25:29I trust you.

00:25:30You're moving our lifeline away right in front of me?

00:25:33Investing this money in you is too risky.

00:25:35You.

00:25:36You have the nerve to say that?

00:25:38Is this not all because of you?

00:25:40If that's how you want to see it, I can't help you.

00:25:42Show him out.

00:25:45This way, please.

00:25:47Please.

00:25:50Please.

00:25:54Please.

00:25:55Mr. Sterling, something is wrong.

00:25:57Please look at this.

00:26:01Theodore Sterling isn't a good manager.

00:26:03He lets emotion dict his decisions.

00:26:05This move has already caused diss-ass action among many senior members of the Sterling family.

00:26:10Don't report this kind of thing to me in the future.

00:26:12Mr. Sterling, Leon Hart is smearing us in the media.

00:26:14Should we sue him for defamation?

00:26:16No.

00:26:16A war of words can't save his cash flow.

00:26:18Release the new energy signing announcement.

00:26:21Transfer all funds originally intended for Julianne Group.

00:26:24Make it clear that I've completely given up on the Julianne family.

00:26:27Understood.

00:26:28I'll arrange the press conference now and fully cut ties with Julianne Group.

00:26:48Mr. Sterling, Ms. Abigail Julian forced her in.

00:26:50Let her in.

00:26:58Theodore Sterling, are you satisfied now?

00:27:04Satisfied with what?

00:27:05Bank is forcing us to settle 40 million today.

00:27:09What are we supposed to do?

00:27:12Our withdrawal is a normal business action.

00:27:15Do you have to block every way out?

00:27:17The banks have stopped all our credit loans.

00:27:19That's based on a normal risk reassessment.

00:27:22If you hadn't pulled out the supply chain funds, why would the banks turn on us?

00:27:26You're trying to kill us.

00:27:28If one risk control loan withdrawal can crush you, it means your assets were castles in the air to begin

00:27:33with.

00:27:34Ten years.

00:27:36We were together for ten years.

00:27:38Do you really have no feeling left for me at all?

00:27:40You have crossed the line, Abigail Julianne.

00:27:43You're Leonne Hart's wife now.

00:27:45Isn't it absurd to come here and talk to me about about old feelings?

00:27:58The funding separation went smoothly.

00:28:00The project moved forward without pressure.

00:28:03Speed it up.

00:28:04Mr. Sterling, Julian Group, $40 million in short-term debt.

00:28:08Due is tomorrow.

00:28:11But, what?

00:28:12No movement from?

00:28:13They sent a formal extension request saying there is almost no liquid cash left on their books and asking for

00:28:18a few more days.

00:28:19This quizzically?

00:28:20The banks downgraded their credit and many projects were forced to terminate.

00:28:23As a result, Julianne Group currently has no incoming revenue.

00:28:27Mr. Sterling, how many days can we give them at most?

00:28:35Not one day.

00:28:36If payment isn't turned by the due date, calculate a risk accordingly.

00:28:39If they charter seven days, sue them directly.

00:28:41No need to be polite.

00:28:42That may not be appropriate.

00:28:44The two families have worked together for decades after all.

00:28:47If we go this far, public opinion may be hard to answer for.

00:28:50I care about returns, not history.

00:28:52If they don't pay on time, take legal action.

00:28:56This is...

00:28:56Don't make me repeat myself.

00:28:58Meeting dismissed.

00:29:00Tomorrow is your mother's birthday.

00:29:02Please remember to prepare a gift in advance.

00:29:05So soon.

00:29:06I've not prepared anything.

00:29:08The gift list has already been drafted.

00:29:09Should I place the order now?

00:29:11No.

00:29:11This is my mother's birthday.

00:29:13Notify everyone that all afternoon meetings postponed.

00:29:16Come with me the mall.

00:29:17I'll choose it myself.

00:29:18All right.

00:29:19I'll arrange the car.

00:29:22Please, give us one more loan.

00:29:24Even ten million for emergency cash would be enough.

00:29:27Sorry.

00:29:27After crossing Thidor Sterling, who would dare sign for you?

00:29:30You're on your own.

00:29:43Mr. Sterling, I need to use the restroom.

00:29:46Hmm.

00:29:49Theodore Sterling, please give me a few minutes.

00:29:51Let us talk alone at the cafe on the corner.

00:29:55Ten minutes.

00:29:57You know all about the banks refusing to lend to us, right?

00:30:00As expected.

00:30:02Without your financial guarantee, we can't survive this week.

00:30:06That's your problem.

00:30:08The money your group owes us is due tomorrow afternoon.

00:30:11You know perfectly well there's no liquid cash on our books right now.

00:30:16Business is business.

00:30:17Your financial hole is your own problem.

00:30:19It has nothing to do with me.

00:30:20Even for the sake of ten years.

00:30:23You tore up those ten years of engagement with your own hands.

00:30:26You made your choice.

00:30:27I'm carrying out mine.

00:30:31Theodore Sterling!

00:30:35Mrs. Abigail Julian, Leon Hart's wife, if you're in trouble, go to your new husband.

00:30:40Not the ex-fiancé you publicly humiliated.

00:30:44Theodore Sterling, don't be like this.

00:30:46I know I was wrong.

00:30:47But now the port is shut down, the carriers are blocking our doors every day,

00:30:51and I truly have nowhere left to go.

00:30:54Just this once.

00:30:55As long as you agree, I'll do anything you say.

00:31:00For the sake of the ten years between our families, can you defer the debt?

00:31:04People are saying you're using business to settle a personal score.

00:31:07This will ruin your reputation.

00:31:09Reputation doesn't pay the bills.

00:31:11What outsiders think doesn't affect our balance sheet.

00:31:14We can sign a new contract.

00:31:17Raise the interest by three points.

00:31:19Do you think I care about those three points?

00:31:26Do you have to force our family to its death?

00:31:29What's killing you is greed.

00:31:31He never intended to let me go.

00:31:34He wants to swallow us whole.

00:31:36What you need now is real cash flow, not you begging here for pity.

00:31:46It has been ten years.

00:31:48No matter how angry you were before, you never would have cut off my funding.

00:31:52Before, you were my fiancé.

00:31:54Naturally, I considered things from a different position.

00:32:01But now, I can find no reason to help you.

00:32:05Time is up.

00:32:12The difficulty is only temporary.

00:32:14Everyone must hold on.

00:32:16Hold on!

00:32:17How are we supposed to hold on?

00:32:19All because your daughter broke off the engagement in public and humiliated Theodore Sterling.

00:32:25That's why we're in this crisis.

00:32:2816 days at limit down.

00:32:30Billions in market value have evaporated.

00:32:33Who's going to make up that loss?

00:32:36Enough.

00:32:37Abigail Julian has already worked hard enough.

00:32:40Who gave you the right to speak here?

00:32:43Who the hell do you think you are?

00:32:46Who gave you the right to speak here?

00:32:48Who the hell do you think you are?

00:32:50If you hadn't pushed Abigail Julian to destroy the engagement and offend Theodore Sterling,

00:32:56would we be in this mess?

00:32:59Who gave you the right to speak here?

00:33:01Who the hell do you think you are?

00:33:02If you hadn't pushed Abigail Julian to destroy the engagement and offend Theodore Sterling,

00:33:06would we be in this mess?

00:33:08Exactly.

00:33:08I already did you a favor by letting you sit in and listen.

00:33:11And you dare accuse us?

00:33:13You son of a bitch.

00:33:14Leon Hart has already married Abigail Julian.

00:33:17By our rules, he is family now.

00:33:20Who calls him family?

00:33:21If it weren't for this parasitic fraud,

00:33:23would Theodore Sterling have cut off the transit credit line?

00:33:26Now the carriers have seized the cargo and every port is shut down!

00:33:30Stop it!

00:33:31Leon Hart has been working on a Delaware bridge loan this whole time.

00:33:34Please trust him one more time.

00:33:36Then where is the money?

00:33:38Where exactly is the money?

00:33:41It's all my fault.

00:33:43I'll swallow my pride and kneel to Theodore Sterling for mercy.

00:33:47Even if I have to beg on the ground, I'll get the funds back.

00:33:50You?

00:33:50Who the hell are you?

00:33:52What if Theodore Sterling won't even see you?

00:33:54Then we're finished!

00:33:56Enough.

00:33:57Everyone say less.

00:33:58Leon Hart, do as you said.

00:34:00Meeting dismissed.

00:34:06Leon, thank you.

00:34:08If you had not protected me just now,

00:34:09those sergolators would have eaten me alive.

00:34:12But are you really willing to beg Theodore Sterling for me?

00:34:15Abigail, Julian, we're husband and wife.

00:34:17If I don't help you, who will?

00:34:19If I don't put on this kneeling act,

00:34:21how do I keep those old fools calm?

00:34:23Once I transfer Julian Group's assets out cleanly,

00:34:25I'm gone.

00:34:28Leon Hart,

00:34:29you're the only one who can save the company now.

00:34:32As long as you ask,

00:34:33he will definitely restore the credit line.

00:34:35Then the company can turn the crisis around.

00:34:38All right.

00:34:39I'll try.

00:34:40Go.

00:34:40Our family's future depends on you now.

00:34:52Mr. Sterling,

00:34:53the final agreement from the Channel Authority has arrived.

00:34:57Leave it there.

00:34:59Also,

00:34:59Leon Hart is in the reception room.

00:35:01He says he wants to see you.

00:35:04Let him wait.

00:35:06He has already been waiting outside for more than half an hour.

00:35:12Then let him wait another half hour.

00:35:15All right.

00:35:16I'll arrange it now.

00:35:27Theodore Sterling,

00:35:28do you really not think you went too far this time?

00:35:30Mr. Hart,

00:35:31I don't follow.

00:35:32You suddenly stopped all funding support for Julian Group.

00:35:35Do you know that the moment you pulled the money,

00:35:37the bank stopped all lending right after?

00:35:40This is only a normal risk control adjustment.

00:35:42Julian Group's rating fell,

00:35:44so naturally it no longer meets the bank's credited standards.

00:35:47If you hadn't led the pullout,

00:35:48how would the rating have fallen?

00:35:49You're clearly taking personal revenge

00:35:52because Abigail Julian married me!

00:35:54Business cooperation is about returns.

00:35:56Since you're married,

00:35:57Julian Group's risk should fall on your company.

00:36:00But that shell company of yours,

00:36:02with unverifiable registered capacital,

00:36:04thinks it deserves more of my money?

00:36:06Listen,

00:36:06you're already out of this game.

00:36:12Theodore Sterling,

00:36:13I'm begging you.

00:36:14Give Julian Group a way out, okay?

00:36:16Banks look at statements,

00:36:17not expressions.

00:36:18You should bear the consequences.

00:36:20This is personal revenge.

00:36:22You want to force Abigail Julian to death and me too?

00:36:24I only look at interests.

00:36:26Fine.

00:36:27Then let us talk about something practical.

00:36:29Our group has top-tier shipping capacity.

00:36:32We can cooperate.

00:36:33As long as you restore funding sort to Julian Group,

00:36:36we can become your carrier

00:36:37and use our own channels to help you invest in new energy.

00:36:40Shipping capacity?

00:36:42Cooperation?

00:36:43You?

00:36:46That's right.

00:36:50Bring in the audit report.

00:37:01Take a look.

00:37:09This is impossible.

00:37:11Where did you get this?

00:37:12Your shell company has only $3,000 on its books,

00:37:14but its debt is as high as $10 million.

00:37:16At the same time,

00:37:17Julian Group accounts have no surplus funds.

00:37:19How are you going to become my carrier?

00:37:21And where are these channels you claim

00:37:23can help me develop new energy?

00:37:24You...

00:37:25You investigated me behind my back?

00:37:27Yes.

00:37:28We know your companies are nothing but shells.

00:37:30We also know you swindled $30 million from your ex-wife.

00:37:33You're complete trash.

00:37:38Theodore Sterling,

00:37:39you actually investigated me behind my back.

00:37:42It's all public data.

00:37:43That doesn't count as behind your back.

00:37:45Aren't you being a little too rational?

00:37:47Rational people live longer.

00:37:49You.

00:37:51The Julian family will turn to another company.

00:37:54You'll permanently lose a partner.

00:37:55The market is always changing.

00:37:57Without Julian Group,

00:37:58another group will immediately fill the gap.

00:38:00You cold-blooded finance machine!

00:38:06Fine.

00:38:08Just you wait.

00:38:09I'll make you understand the price.

00:38:21Mr. Sterling,

00:38:22I heard Julian Group has completely fallen apart.

00:38:24The shareholders are forcing Abigail Julie and Charles June

00:38:26to hand over management control.

00:38:28Just as I expected.

00:38:29At the same time,

00:38:30I just got Leon Hart's background.

00:38:32Everything he has comes from defrauding

00:38:33his ex-wife's family trust,

00:38:35and he even drove her to suicide

00:38:36in a psychiatric hospital.

00:38:38I don't care about him.

00:38:39I only care about the current result.

00:38:44Theodore Sterling,

00:38:45the board just signed giantly to force me out.

00:38:47Are you satisfied now?

00:38:49Uncle Charles,

00:38:49that's an internal decision of Julian Group.

00:38:52What I think doesn't matter, does it?

00:38:53With the bond I had with your father back then,

00:38:55are you really going to ignore it completely?

00:38:57Do you have to drive us into a dead end?

00:38:59I've no comment.

00:39:01Fine.

00:39:02Fine.

00:39:03You'll regret this.

00:39:06Uncle Charles,

00:39:07in this seat,

00:39:08I'm responsible only for risk control and returns.

00:39:11You're even more ruthless

00:39:12than your father was back then.

00:39:14The market today is even more ruthless

00:39:16than it was back then.

00:39:19Julian Group's rating dropped to D this morning,

00:39:22yet they're still this arrogant.

00:39:23Charles Julian still cares about saving face.

00:39:26That means he has not been pushed

00:39:27to the absolute end yet.

00:39:33Dad, Theodore Sterling still refuses to inject funds?

00:39:36All our operations have stopped

00:39:38and the banks demanded $40 million overnight.

00:39:40Tomorrow the shareholders will tear my position

00:39:42as CEO apart.

00:39:43All I did was call off an engagement

00:39:44and he is using the entire industry to strangle us?

00:39:48Shameless!

00:39:48You still have the nerve to shout?

00:39:50If you had not lost your mind

00:39:51and married that Leon Hart,

00:39:53would we have been forced into this mess?

00:39:55Leon Hart said the money will arrive soon.

00:39:57Bullshit!

00:40:00Tonight, you must go to Theodore Sterling's private estate

00:40:02and beg him to show mercy.

00:40:04You want me to beg him?

00:40:05If I go now, where am I supposed to put my pride?

00:40:07Choose your pride

00:40:08or choose our whole family begging on the street.

00:40:13I'll go.

00:40:19That old fool, Charles Julie,

00:40:21I heard he was publicly kicked out

00:40:22at the shareholders meeting today?

00:40:23That's their internal compliance process.

00:40:25It has nothing to do with us.

00:40:31Sir, madam,

00:40:32Ms. Abigail Julian is here.

00:40:33Who?

00:40:33Ms. Abigail Julian from the Julian family.

00:40:36Don't see her.

00:40:37Tell her to leave.

00:40:38Mom, don't be angry.

00:40:39There's no need.

00:40:40Let her in.

00:40:41Yes.

00:40:47Mrs. Sterling?

00:40:48Theodore Sterling?

00:40:49Well, well.

00:40:50If it isn't Ms. Abigail Julian,

00:40:52the newlywed,

00:40:52did you come to deliver an invitation?

00:40:55Sit down.

00:40:56Have you eaten?

00:40:58I've...

00:40:59This Caspian beloga caviar just arrived.

00:41:01I know you like it, Mrs. Sterling.

00:41:03Take it away.

00:41:05Theodore Sterling,

00:41:06for the sake of our family's history,

00:41:07I'm begging you.

00:41:08Abigail Julian,

00:41:09say what you came to say.

00:41:11My time is billed by the second.

00:41:15The shareholders are forcing my father

00:41:17into a new CEO election.

00:41:18Could you please...

00:41:20That's the right of Julian Group's shareholders.

00:41:24You know very well

00:41:25where the root of the problem is.

00:41:36The root is Julian Group's capital structure.

00:41:40It has no ability to respond to emergencies.

00:41:43Leon Hart said he can hold out for a while,

00:41:46but the banks won't give him time.

00:41:49The husband you chose is unreliable.

00:41:52Now you remember my son?

00:41:54What do you take him for?

00:41:55Mom, stay out of this.

00:41:58Come.

00:41:59Let's talk in my study.

00:42:01Mr. and Mrs. Sterling,

00:42:02please continue your dinner.

00:42:07What a piece of work.

00:42:09Enough.

00:42:09Let our son handle his own business.

00:42:11I trust him.

00:42:12He won't let us down.

00:42:13Come on, eat.

00:42:16Theodore Sterling,

00:42:17for the sake of decades of friendship

00:42:19between our families,

00:42:20help us this once.

00:42:22Helping you now means

00:42:23we would do what have to bear

00:42:24bad debt risk.

00:42:25Then at least issue a joint statement

00:42:28saying you'll defer the recovery

00:42:30of funds from Julian Group.

00:42:32Give the Julian family room to breathe

00:42:34and we can recover.

00:42:36No.

00:42:37Doing that would directly lower

00:42:39our return rate

00:42:40and damage my family's core interests.

00:42:43Ten years.

00:42:44We were together for ten years.

00:42:46In your eyes,

00:42:47is there really nothing left

00:42:48but these cold numbers?

00:42:52Theodore Sterling,

00:42:53if that day

00:42:54I had not been foolish

00:42:56for a moment...

00:42:58There's no point

00:42:58talking about that now.

00:43:00I gave your family funding support.

00:43:02The day you publicly announced

00:43:04you were tearing up the engagement

00:43:06and used me as a stepping stone,

00:43:07you should have expected the price.

00:43:12I'll divorce Leon Hart right now

00:43:14as long as you restore

00:43:15the transit credit line.

00:43:16Please,

00:43:17can we start over?

00:43:18There are no ifs

00:43:20in this world.

00:43:28She left crying.

00:43:30It seems you have already

00:43:31made the decision

00:43:32most beneficial to the family.

00:43:33That's what I should do

00:43:34as CEO.

00:43:36A ten-year engagement.

00:43:38Do you truly feel

00:43:40not even the slightest pity?

00:43:42Dad,

00:43:43would you pity a traitor

00:43:43who tried to drain

00:43:44our family funds

00:43:45and publicly humiliated us?

00:43:49I wouldn't.

00:43:50Neither would I.

00:44:00Dad,

00:44:01I just left

00:44:02Theodore Sterling's estate.

00:44:04His attitude

00:44:05is very firm.

00:44:06What did he say?

00:44:08Did he agree

00:44:09to restore funding support

00:44:10for us?

00:44:11He refused.

00:44:12He said Julian Group's

00:44:14rating has fallen to D

00:44:15and they're unwilling

00:44:16to take on any risk.

00:44:18It's over.

00:44:19Without his financial backing,

00:44:21how are we supposed

00:44:22to answer

00:44:22to the shareholders

00:44:24at tomorrow's meeting?

00:44:25Dad,

00:44:25what should we do now?

00:44:26Come back first.

00:44:29Tomorrow,

00:44:30we can only hold on.

00:44:34Everyone,

00:44:35Avgail Julian

00:44:36was indeed impulsive.

00:44:38But the urgent priority

00:44:39is dealing with the banks.

00:44:41Dealing with them?

00:44:45Charles Julian,

00:44:46if you had not

00:44:46indulged your daughter,

00:44:48why would they have

00:44:49pulled all the funds

00:44:50at the end of the day?

00:44:51You failed to raise

00:44:52your daughter properly

00:44:53and dragged all of us down.

00:44:57I propose we immediately

00:44:59hold a new CEO election.

00:45:01I second it.

00:45:02I agree as well.

00:45:04Agreed.

00:45:05Replace him

00:45:05and let someone else

00:45:06clean up the mess.

00:45:10Are you really

00:45:12going to take it

00:45:12this far?

00:45:16You built this company

00:45:17yourself,

00:45:19but now

00:45:19you're no longer

00:45:21fit to sit

00:45:21in that seat.

00:45:23Our family

00:45:24has made money

00:45:24for all of you

00:45:25for 30 years.

00:45:27Now,

00:45:28at the first sign

00:45:29of trouble,

00:45:30you're rushing

00:45:30to split the house.

00:45:32The worst thing

00:45:32in business

00:45:33is your own people

00:45:35distrusting

00:45:35your own people.

00:45:38We aren't joking

00:45:39with you.

00:45:40Fine.

00:45:41I agree to a new election.

00:45:42But tell me this.

00:45:44Which one of you

00:45:45has the ability

00:45:46to solve the current

00:45:47problem if you

00:45:48take over?

00:45:49There's a reception

00:45:50tonight.

00:45:50As long as we secure

00:45:51a new capital in-check

00:45:52there,

00:45:53the group can make

00:45:53it through.

00:45:54At a time like this,

00:45:56who would still dare

00:45:57invest in Julian Group?

00:45:59Where there's a will,

00:46:00there's a way.

00:46:01I'll beg those partners.

00:46:02Dad,

00:46:04let me try once.

00:46:07Go.

00:46:08This is our last chance.

00:46:11Mr. Sterling,

00:46:12this is Leon Hart's

00:46:14capital trail

00:46:14over the past few years.

00:46:19Go on.

00:46:20Leon Hart built

00:46:21his position

00:46:22two years ago

00:46:23through his ex-wife,

00:46:25then divorced her

00:46:26after integrating

00:46:26her resources.

00:46:28His ex-wife died

00:46:29by suicide

00:46:30in a psychiatric hospital.

00:46:31He used that money

00:46:32to register

00:46:33this shell company.

00:46:35At the same time,

00:46:36he claims publicly

00:46:37that he can secure

00:46:38bridge financing.

00:46:39But in reality,

00:46:41his books are full

00:46:42of dead debt.

00:46:44Building his stage

00:46:45with other people's

00:46:46flesh and blood.

00:46:48So his target this time

00:46:49is the Julian family.

00:46:51He wants to use

00:46:52marriage as bait,

00:46:53move Julian Group's

00:46:54remaining port assets

00:46:55into his shell,

00:46:56and drain them completely.

00:46:58It seems that

00:46:58at tonight's reception,

00:46:59even if the Julian family

00:47:01receives investment,

00:47:02Leon Hart will be the one

00:47:03who benefits in the ended.

00:47:05Abigail Julian

00:47:05is still counting

00:47:06on finding help

00:47:07at the reception,

00:47:08without knowing

00:47:09that her own husband

00:47:09already has his fangs

00:47:11at her throat.

00:47:15By the way,

00:47:16is Leon Hart

00:47:17representing Julian Group

00:47:18or himself?

00:47:19Leon Hart

00:47:20is representing Julian Group.

00:47:21Good.

00:47:24Notify Vice President Lee

00:47:25that he doesn't need

00:47:26to attend tonight's reception.

00:47:27I'll go myself.

00:47:28Then I'll arrange

00:47:30the car and a tire now.

00:47:31Sir,

00:47:32our company has many

00:47:33projects worth investing in,

00:47:35such as

00:47:35new energy.

00:47:37I'll think about it.

00:47:44Talk to the others first.

00:47:46I'll go meet him.

00:47:50Theodore Sterling,

00:47:51long time no see.

00:47:53We just met the day

00:47:54before yesterday.

00:47:55That wasn't a formal occasion.

00:47:57Here you control capital

00:47:59and I represent the future

00:48:00of Julian Group's ports.

00:48:02That shell company

00:48:03under your name,

00:48:04with only $3,000

00:48:05in assets left,

00:48:06isn't what I would

00:48:07call the future.

00:48:08He actually found

00:48:09every hole in the accounts.

00:48:13Can we speak privately?

00:48:17Can we speak privately?

00:48:20Are we not speaking

00:48:22privately right now?

00:48:24You have been making

00:48:25some big moves lately.

00:48:26Just a funding adjustment.

00:48:28Hardly a big move.

00:48:31Because of your funding adjustment,

00:48:34Julian Group is under

00:48:34serious financial pressure.

00:48:36That's the market environment.

00:48:39What a convenient excuse.

00:48:40I think it's just cover

00:48:41for your revenge.

00:48:42What you think is your business.

00:48:44You're just jealous of me,

00:48:45aren't you?

00:48:46You're jealous that she chose me

00:48:48and there's nothing

00:48:49you can do to me.

00:48:51Jealous?

00:48:52Of what?

00:48:53I've already exited.

00:48:55You're the one

00:48:56who just entered the game.

00:48:57You think you got out cleanly?

00:49:00At least the books are clean.

00:49:03Julian Group's problems

00:49:05didn't form in a day,

00:49:06which means they need

00:49:07even more clean up.

00:49:08Just wait and see

00:49:09who can take over Julian Group.

00:49:11If I wanted Julian Group,

00:49:13I wouldn't leave you

00:49:13even the scraps.

00:49:15Then let us wait and see.

00:49:22Theodore Sterling,

00:49:23I heard you decided

00:49:24to invest in New Energy?

00:49:26Yes.

00:49:27We're looking for

00:49:28supply chain partners.

00:49:30That's a booming sector.

00:49:31I wonder who will be

00:49:32lucky enough to get

00:49:33your orders.

00:49:34As long as the

00:49:35qualifications are compatible,

00:49:37Sterling Group's doors

00:49:38are always open to you.

00:49:40I heard the money

00:49:41for the New Energy investment

00:49:42used to be Julian Family Funds.

00:49:44Was it suddenly cut off

00:49:45because of the broke engagement?

00:49:49The withdrawal was based

00:49:50on a business assessment

00:49:51of their debt ratio.

00:49:53We don't let personal grudges

00:49:54drive decisions.

00:49:57But if Julian Group

00:49:58gets no more funding,

00:49:59it will go bankrupt next week.

00:50:05Theodore Sterling,

00:50:07since you say

00:50:08this is a business decision,

00:50:10give me a straight answer

00:50:11in front of everyone.

00:50:12Julian Group needs

00:50:14an investment now.

00:50:15Will you still release

00:50:17this life-saving

00:50:17credit line to us?

00:50:25When it truly matters,

00:50:27the Sterling Trust

00:50:28will provide the Julian family

00:50:29with the necessary

00:50:30credit support.

00:50:35Theodore Sterling,

00:50:36and by critical moment,

00:50:37when exactly do you mean?

00:50:39When Julian Group

00:50:40can't hold on anymore

00:50:41and is forced to sell

00:50:41you company shares?

00:50:43Mr. Hart,

00:50:44if you think my intentions

00:50:45are improper,

00:50:46the Julian family

00:50:47can absolutely refuse

00:50:49this funding

00:50:49and use your shell company

00:50:51to save itself.

00:50:52Don't get smug too soon.

00:50:54I won't let you get

00:50:56what you want.

00:50:58Then I'll wait and see.

00:51:01Boss,

00:51:02the money we put in up front

00:51:03barely made a ripple.

00:51:04It's all trapped.

00:51:09We have to hold on

00:51:10to the port assets

00:51:11under Abigail Julian's name.

00:51:13Once other capital forces

00:51:14are restructuring,

00:51:15we won't get a cent.

00:51:16The only way

00:51:17is to make Abigail Julian

00:51:18beg Theodore Sterling.

00:51:20As long as we get funds

00:51:21to lift the stock price,

00:51:22we can cash out immediately

00:51:24and walk away.

00:51:28Abigail Julian

00:51:29is already suspicious

00:51:30of me now.

00:51:31But if this drags on,

00:51:32our background

00:51:32will be completely exposed.

00:51:34I know.

00:51:35Leave first.

00:51:42Abigail Julian,

00:51:44things have turned around.

00:51:45Come to the private room tonight

00:51:46and bring your family

00:51:47share authorization documents.

00:51:49We're saved.

00:51:55Listen,

00:51:56right now

00:51:56only you can save everyone.

00:51:58Go beg Theodore Sterling

00:51:59and pledge the last remaining

00:52:00shares of your

00:52:01Julian group for funds.

00:52:02Are you insane?

00:52:04That's our family's

00:52:04last foundation.

00:52:05If we hand it over,

00:52:06he will swallow us completely.

00:52:08If you don't hand it over,

00:52:09we all go bankrupt.

00:52:10Once he signs

00:52:11and releases the funds,

00:52:12market confidence comes back.

00:52:13Do you get it or not?

00:52:15You said before

00:52:16that a sum of money

00:52:17was about to arrive.

00:52:18Was all of that a lie?

00:52:19There was a problem

00:52:20with the paperwork.

00:52:21Now your only option

00:52:22is to beg him.

00:52:26Mr. Sterling,

00:52:27the bank says

00:52:28the company Leon controls

00:52:29has only $3,000

00:52:31left on its books.

00:52:33He is secretly plotting

00:52:34to transfer Julian group assets

00:52:36and is ready to run

00:52:37at any time.

00:52:38He's just flailing.

00:52:40Let him.

00:52:50leave us.

00:53:03You investigated

00:53:05Leon Hart?

00:53:06Public records.

00:53:08That's not an investigation.

00:53:12You handed his past

00:53:13to investors?

00:53:15No.

00:53:16I don't care about him.

00:53:18But now,

00:53:19everyone knows

00:53:20about his past.

00:53:22Investors aren't stupid.

00:53:23They do their own checks.

00:53:26He had one failed marriage before,

00:53:28but that wasn't his fault.

00:53:29I know.

00:53:30I also don't care

00:53:32whose fault it was.

00:53:33When did you know?

00:53:35The moment he deliberately

00:53:37approached you.

00:53:38Then why did you

00:53:39not stop him

00:53:40from approaching me?

00:53:43You just watched me

00:53:44leave you

00:53:44and didn't say

00:53:45a single word

00:53:46to keep me?

00:53:47You chose that road

00:53:48yourself.

00:53:51So you calculated

00:53:52even this?

00:53:54I didn't calculate it

00:53:56that you would

00:53:56truly leave.

00:53:59He is under

00:54:00too much pressure now.

00:54:01So are you.

00:54:03Aren't you worried

00:54:04we'll take Julian group

00:54:06and make a comeback?

00:54:10Then I congratulate you.

00:54:13Do you really

00:54:14have no emotion

00:54:15at all?

00:54:18Say it.

00:54:19What exactly

00:54:20do you want me to do?

00:54:24What do you want me to do?

00:54:29Leon Hart

00:54:29wanted me to come to you

00:54:31and talk about financing

00:54:32from another angle.

00:54:33So how do you want to

00:54:34discuss it?

00:54:34Be specific.

00:54:36Sterling group

00:54:36invests fresh funds

00:54:37into Julian group.

00:54:38This time we're not

00:54:39talking projects.

00:54:40We're talking

00:54:40Julian group shares.

00:54:42I understand what you mean.

00:54:43But the risk of Julian group

00:54:45itself has not changed.

00:54:46We can re-structure.

00:54:49The funding gap

00:54:50has already appeared.

00:54:51What meaning do your

00:54:52shares have to me?

00:54:54So you're just gonna

00:54:55watch us struggle

00:54:56in this crisis?

00:54:57This is the road

00:54:58you chose.

00:54:59Theodore Sterling

00:55:00tell me the truth.

00:55:01If I had not

00:55:02left you back then

00:55:03would you still

00:55:04treat Julian group

00:55:05this way?

00:55:05No.

00:55:07So you're still

00:55:08taking revenge on me?

00:55:09No.

00:55:10The decision-issing

00:55:12structure changed.

00:55:13This isn't revenge.

00:55:14They say Leon Hart

00:55:16approached me

00:55:16for Julian group.

00:55:17You only realize

00:55:18that now?

00:55:20We have no way out.

00:55:22On Leon Hart's side

00:55:23the money is drying up too.

00:55:25Normal.

00:55:25As expected.

00:55:27So you predicted

00:55:28even this?

00:55:28Leon Hart is too

00:55:29small a player.

00:55:30If he goes after

00:55:31Julian group

00:55:32there's only one result.

00:55:34Julian group

00:55:34drags him down with it.

00:55:36Today Leon Hart

00:55:37sent me to you.

00:55:38He wants me to

00:55:39persuade you.

00:55:39Sorry.

00:55:40I'm not a

00:55:41philanthropic or a

00:55:42savior.

00:55:45I understand.

00:55:54Send me the latest

00:55:55materials on Julian

00:55:56group and Leon

00:55:57Hart's company.

00:56:00Yes.

00:56:05Mr. Sterling.

00:56:06Leon Hart is using

00:56:07his own company

00:56:08as catapult

00:56:08to secretly scoop up

00:56:09Julian group's

00:56:10scattered shares.

00:56:11He thinks I'll still

00:56:12leave Abigail Julian

00:56:13a way out.

00:56:13When you hinted

00:56:14at the reception

00:56:14that you consider

00:56:15supporting group again

00:56:16were you waiting

00:56:17for him to max out

00:56:18his leverage?

00:56:19Exactly.

00:56:19Greedy people are

00:56:20the easiest to step

00:56:21into the miner

00:56:21themselves.

00:56:22Notify PR to

00:56:23publicly announce

00:56:23the investment plan

00:56:24immediately and

00:56:25transfer all funds

00:56:26to new energy.

00:56:26Yes.

00:56:27That will completely

00:56:28separate us from

00:56:28Julian group.

00:56:29By then Julian group

00:56:30scares will hit limit

00:56:31down completely

00:56:31and Leon Hart's

00:56:32scheme will

00:56:32completely fail.

00:56:33Exactly.

00:56:36Exactly.

00:56:45Did Theodore Sterling

00:56:46sign?

00:56:46Once we get that

00:56:47funding we can turn

00:56:47this around.

00:56:48He refused.

00:56:50He said Julian group's

00:56:51debt has nothing

00:56:52to do with him.

00:56:53Impossible.

00:56:54You had ten years

00:56:55of history with him.

00:56:55Why did you not

00:56:56kneel and beg him

00:56:56you useless waste?

00:56:58You're lying to me

00:56:59are you not?

00:56:59You're trying to

00:56:59surprise me?

00:57:00It hurts.

00:57:07Fuck!

00:57:15The Sterling family

00:57:16issued an announcement.

00:57:23Theodore Sterling

00:57:24signed the funds

00:57:25away.

00:57:27He agreed to

00:57:28restore our

00:57:28credit line?

00:57:29Port expansion

00:57:30five billion.

00:57:31Oil pipeline

00:57:33three billion.

00:57:34Port Arthur

00:57:35storage tanks

00:57:36eight billion

00:57:36all given to

00:57:37outsiders?

00:57:38He gave all

00:57:38the funds

00:57:39that originally

00:57:40belonged to

00:57:40Julian group

00:57:41to other

00:57:41companies.

00:57:42He didn't

00:57:43leave us a

00:57:44single cent.

00:57:45Idiot!

00:57:45Why'd you go

00:57:46beg him in

00:57:46public at

00:57:47time?

00:57:47Now everybody

00:57:48is dumping

00:57:48our stook

00:57:49and our

00:57:49growth living

00:57:49totally hit

00:57:50limit down.

00:57:51I was trying

00:57:53ass!

00:57:56assets we

00:57:56still have

00:57:57left to

00:57:57save the

00:57:58stock!

00:57:59If we

00:58:00sell assets

00:58:01at fire sale

00:58:01prices now

00:58:02they'll lose

00:58:0290% of their

00:58:03value.

00:58:04We'll go

00:58:04bankrupt right

00:58:05away!

00:58:05If we

00:58:06don't sell

00:58:06the bank

00:58:07seizes this

00:58:07place tomorrow

00:58:08and I

00:58:09lose

00:58:09everything!

00:58:11You're

00:58:11forcing me

00:58:12to sell

00:58:12assets to

00:58:12prop up the

00:58:13stock so you

00:58:13can dump

00:58:14your shares?

00:58:14You fraud!

00:58:16There isn't a

00:58:16single cent in

00:58:17your company!

00:58:18Everything you

00:58:18said about

00:58:19helping me raise

00:58:19financing was

00:58:20fake!

00:58:21That's because

00:58:21you're too

00:58:22stupid.

00:58:23Did you really

00:58:24think one

00:58:24marriage license

00:58:25could be traded

00:58:26for tens of

00:58:27millions of

00:58:27dollars?

00:58:28I broke off my

00:58:28engagement with

00:58:29Theodore Sterling

00:58:30for you and

00:58:30became a

00:58:31laughingstock

00:58:31across the

00:58:32country!

00:58:32Now you

00:58:33still want to

00:58:33use me to

00:58:34launder money?

00:58:36You weren't

00:58:36honest either.

00:58:37Your group's

00:58:38assets were

00:58:38already a pile of

00:58:39bad debts that

00:58:40could never be

00:58:41filled.

00:58:43The rumors are

00:58:44everywhere.

00:58:45You married me

00:58:46only to use my

00:58:47family's port credit

00:58:48to fill the debt

00:58:49hole in your

00:58:50companies?

00:58:51What else?

00:58:52If not for your

00:58:53father's authorization

00:58:54papers, why would I

00:58:55play true love with

00:58:56you?

00:58:58You were lying to

00:58:59me the whole time?

00:59:00If I had not

00:59:01pretended to be

00:59:02devoted, would an

00:59:03idiot like you have

00:59:04handed over your

00:59:05family assets with

00:59:06both hands?

00:59:07Now Theodore has

00:59:08Sterling pulled out

00:59:09across the board.

00:59:10You and your

00:59:11company, scarce, are

00:59:12worthless.

00:59:13You monster!

00:59:19Why are you

00:59:20crying?

00:59:21You couldn't even

00:59:22keep Theodore

00:59:22stirring.

00:59:24Useless.

00:59:25The whole Julian

00:59:26family is full of

00:59:27fools.

00:59:28Boss, boss, bad

00:59:29news!

00:59:29The stock hit limit

00:59:31down because of

00:59:31Theodore Sterling's

00:59:32move.

00:59:32How much did we

00:59:33lose?

00:59:34More than two

00:59:35billion dollars!

00:59:37And then Theodore

00:59:37Sterling found out

00:59:38about your past,

00:59:39how your ex-wife's

00:59:40assets and drove her

00:59:40to death.

00:59:41It has already

00:59:42been reported!

00:59:44How could that

00:59:45matter have been

00:59:46found out?

00:59:47Quick, issue a

00:59:48statement immediately

00:59:49cutting ties with

00:59:50the Julian family

00:59:50and announce that

00:59:51Avigail, Julian,

00:59:52and I are already

00:59:52divorced.

00:59:53Yes!

00:59:55Leonhardt, you

00:59:55can't abandon me!

00:59:57Abandon you?

00:59:58Right now, you're

00:59:59a curse.

01:00:00Move.

01:00:01Sign the papers

01:00:02immediately.

01:00:03Every extra second

01:00:04with you drags me

01:00:05closer to hell!

01:00:14Mr. Sterling, we

01:00:15just received

01:00:15news.

01:00:16Leonhardt and

01:00:17Avigail Julian

01:00:17the divorce

01:00:18and the

01:00:18registration.

01:00:18Exactly.

01:00:19It has only been

01:00:20three months from

01:00:20start to finish.

01:00:21Leonhardt can't

01:00:21carry the hole on

01:00:22his books anymore.

01:00:22If he doesn't

01:00:23dump Julian

01:00:23group, he'll be

01:00:24locked up for

01:00:25debt fraud next

01:00:25week.

01:00:26But even with

01:00:26this emergency

01:00:26split, he's

01:00:27already taken a

01:00:28serious hit.

01:00:28Have the

01:00:28partner carrier

01:00:29reacted.

01:00:29They're all

01:00:30kicking while

01:00:30they're down.

01:00:31When a wall

01:00:31falls, everyone

01:00:32pushes expected.

01:00:32The real fatal

01:00:33low is still

01:00:34coming.

01:00:34The oddest we

01:00:35sent reported

01:00:36back that Leonhardt's

01:00:37ex-wife's family

01:00:37never gave up the

01:00:38accounting fight.

01:00:39They have already

01:00:39asked the court to

01:00:40freeze assets and

01:00:41recover 30 million

01:00:42in trusts as he

01:00:42transferred away.

01:00:43Now, this is

01:00:44interesting.

01:00:44Blocked on both

01:00:45ends, Leonhardt

01:00:46doesn't even have a

01:00:47last card left to

01:00:48turn this around.

01:00:49Call Avigail Julian

01:00:49and arrange to

01:00:50meet her tonight.

01:00:51I'll go to her

01:00:51house myself.

01:00:52Avigail Julian is

01:00:53being chased by

01:00:54creditors like a

01:00:55headers like a

01:00:55headless fly right

01:00:56now.

01:00:57Do you think she

01:00:58will meet us?

01:00:59She has no

01:01:00leverage to refuse now.

01:01:05Mrs. Avigail Julian,

01:01:06Mr. Sterling will

01:01:07personally visit your

01:01:08home tonight.

01:01:09Theodore Sterling?

01:01:11He is coming to me

01:01:12on his own a time

01:01:13like this?

01:01:13Does he want to

01:01:14watch me die, die

01:01:14completely or?

01:01:15We're only laying

01:01:16the message.

01:01:18He, what time

01:01:19will he come?

01:01:38Mr. confirmed it.

01:01:39Avigail Julian's house

01:01:40has no other visitor

01:01:41sketch tonight.

01:01:42Got it.

01:01:43You're coming with me.

01:01:44Mr. is it appropriate

01:01:45for me to go with you

01:01:46tonight?

01:01:47After all, that's

01:01:47Avigail Julian's

01:01:48private residence.

01:01:49Tonight is only

01:01:50business, nothing

01:01:50personal.

01:01:51Go prepare.

01:01:52Yes, I'll handle

01:01:53it right away.

01:01:56They're here.

01:01:57The car has already

01:01:59entered the estate

01:02:00gate.

01:02:00Stop hiding.

01:02:01Fix your clothes.

01:02:03Theodore Sterling

01:02:04coming here personally

01:02:05at a time this me

01:02:05still remembers our

01:02:06family's long

01:02:07friendship.

01:02:08This is our only

01:02:09lifeline.

01:02:10Friendship?

01:02:11When I tore up

01:02:13the engagement, he

01:02:13didn't talk about

01:02:14friendship.

01:02:15Shut up.

01:02:16When he gets here,

01:02:18lower your attitude

01:02:19and listen to me.

01:02:24Theodore Sterling,

01:02:25you finally came.

01:02:26It's cold outside.

01:02:28Please come in.

01:02:30It's warm inside.

01:02:31Tea is ready.

01:02:35Theodore Sterling,

01:02:37have some water first.

01:02:38Leon Hart and I are

01:02:39already divorced.

01:02:40You deliberately brought

01:02:42people here tonight.

01:02:43Did you come to laugh

01:02:44at me, see how pathetic

01:02:45I am and kick me

01:02:46while I'm down?

01:02:47Abigail Julian,

01:02:48you overestimate how

01:02:49entertaining your misery

01:02:50is.

01:02:50Abigail Julian, what kind

01:02:52of way is that to speak?

01:02:53Theodore, don't hold it

01:02:54against her.

01:02:55She was badly hurt by

01:02:56that fraud.

01:02:57Our families have had

01:02:58two generations of

01:02:59friendship and you and

01:03:00Abigail Julian had ten

01:03:01years together.

01:03:02How can that be cut off

01:03:03just like that?

01:03:04Leon Hart, he's been

01:03:05thrown out.

01:03:07In what of you,

01:03:08why not choose in her

01:03:09how day and get your

01:03:10wearing license?

01:03:11As long as you remarry,

01:03:13everything can be

01:03:13discussed.

01:03:19Mr. Sterling came

01:03:20tonight to discuss

01:03:21Julian Group.

01:03:22I knew you wouldn't

01:03:23stand by and watch us

01:03:24die.

01:03:25With two generations

01:03:26of friendship, we're

01:03:27family in this industry,

01:03:28aren't we?

01:03:29For this bank collection,

01:03:30all you need to do is

01:03:31sign the credit letter.

01:03:32You still care about

01:03:33me, right?

01:03:34That fraud, Leon Hart,

01:03:35has already been

01:03:35kicked by me.

01:03:36As long as you cover

01:03:37that 40 million debt,

01:03:38we'll remarry immediately.

01:03:41Abigail Julian,

01:03:42you're overthinking it.

01:03:46All my liquid funds

01:03:47were already allocated

01:03:49before three this

01:03:49afternoon moment.

01:03:50I've no surplus funds.

01:03:52What?

01:03:53Don't joke like that!

01:03:54Without your financial

01:03:55backing, the banks

01:03:56will seize us tomorrow!

01:03:58I didn't come tonight

01:03:59to inject capital.

01:04:00I came to notify you

01:04:01that I will buy out

01:04:02Julian Group at 70%

01:04:03below market price

01:04:05and take absolute

01:04:06control.

01:04:06You!

01:04:07You're taking advantage

01:04:09of our disaster!

01:04:12If you think I'm kicking

01:04:13you while you're down,

01:04:14I'll leave now.

01:04:16No!

01:04:17Don't go!

01:04:18We can talk!

01:04:19Please!

01:04:20We can keep

01:04:21Magogotiating!

01:04:24Dad!

01:04:25He has pushed us

01:04:27to the brink!

01:04:28Why are you begging him?

01:04:29Since you think

01:04:30think this is an insult,

01:04:31I'll see you in court.

01:04:34No!

01:04:34Theodore Sterling!

01:04:35The kids doesn't

01:04:37know any better!

01:04:37We can talk this through!

01:04:38Mr. Charles Julian,

01:04:40please address him properly.

01:04:42You're speaking

01:04:43to the CEO

01:04:43of Sterling Group.

01:04:44Who the hell

01:04:45are you to lecture us here?

01:04:47Enough!

01:04:47Shut up!

01:04:50You brought

01:04:50an agreement here,

01:04:52which clearly means

01:04:53you want to help us.

01:04:55You're definitely

01:04:55not kicking us

01:04:56while we're down.

01:04:57Indeed.

01:04:58The market

01:04:59takes its cue

01:05:00from Mr. Sterling.

01:05:01Acquiring your group

01:05:02is also

01:05:03for your own good.

01:05:04Then if that's

01:05:05the case,

01:05:06how much

01:05:07are you offering?

01:05:08I intend to.

01:05:09It doesn't need

01:05:10to be much.

01:05:11Just take one cent

01:05:12of the port

01:05:12accurately symbolically.

01:05:14One percent?

01:05:16In return,

01:05:17Sterling Group

01:05:18will provide

01:05:19five hundred million

01:05:20dollars

01:05:20in credited funds.

01:05:25Theodore Sterling,

01:05:26for the sake

01:05:27of two generations

01:05:28of friendship,

01:05:29I'll take a step back.

01:05:30These assets

01:05:31are valued at

01:05:32four billion.

01:05:32You inject

01:05:33two hundred million

01:05:34dollars and take

01:05:34five percent equity.

01:05:36This is already

01:05:37our biggest concession,

01:05:38if not for our history.

01:05:39Abigail,

01:05:40Julian,

01:05:41you still don't seem

01:05:41to understand

01:05:42the situation.

01:05:43This is your group's

01:05:45current assets

01:05:45at ValueJune.

01:05:46Has collapsed

01:05:47beyond recognition

01:05:48and isn't even

01:05:49worth thirty-ion dollars.

01:05:50This is only

01:05:51a temporary shrinkage.

01:05:53Our foundation

01:05:54is still there.

01:05:55Foundation?

01:05:56Next Monday,

01:05:57you still have

01:05:57eighty million

01:05:58in due credit

01:05:59at default penalties.

01:06:00That's your foundation.

01:06:03That's impossible!

01:06:05We clearly...

01:06:06The books have been

01:06:07empty for a long time.

01:06:08Right now,

01:06:09no one will lend

01:06:10you a dollar.

01:06:11Theodore Sterling,

01:06:12do you have to

01:06:13go this far?

01:06:15I'm doing business,

01:06:16Uncle Charles.

01:06:17Ten million dollars.

01:06:18I buy all storage

01:06:19and transportsport

01:06:21ports under Julian Group.

01:06:22Sign it,

01:06:23and you can still

01:06:24retire with dignity.

01:06:25Ten million?

01:06:27Are you insane?

01:06:28This is highway robbery!

01:06:29I will never sign!

01:06:31If you don't sign,

01:06:32you'll have to file

01:06:33for bankruptcy liquidation

01:06:35on Monday.

01:06:35By then,

01:06:36you don't get

01:06:37even one cent.

01:06:39Dad!

01:06:39Let us go!

01:06:40Worst case,

01:06:41we go bankrupt!

01:06:42Shut up!

01:06:43Dad!

01:06:45Dad!

01:06:46I told you

01:06:48to shut up!

01:06:49Do you hear me?

01:06:53Theodore Sterling,

01:06:55are you really

01:06:55going to leave us

01:06:56no way out?

01:06:57One percent equity

01:06:58in exchange for funding

01:06:59is already

01:07:00our biggest concession.

01:07:02Mr. Julian,

01:07:04do you think

01:07:04we would make

01:07:05a special trip here

01:07:06for one percent

01:07:06of the shares?

01:07:07Since this is

01:07:08your attitude,

01:07:09we're leaving.

01:07:15Theodore Sterling,

01:07:17wait!

01:07:19I want to speak

01:07:20with you alone.

01:07:21Mr. Sterling,

01:07:22I'll wait for you

01:07:23in the car outside.

01:07:27The board

01:07:28has already

01:07:28made its decision.

01:07:30This afternoon,

01:07:31they will formally

01:07:32announce

01:07:33my father's removal

01:07:34as CEO.

01:07:35As expected.

01:07:36I can't even

01:07:37keep my

01:07:38vice president

01:07:38position.

01:07:40I may have

01:07:40nothing left.

01:07:42Your father

01:07:42has already

01:07:43resigned.

01:07:44Do you think

01:07:44the board

01:07:45will still

01:07:45keep you?

01:07:46I accept this!

01:07:48Theodore Sterling,

01:07:49please!

01:07:50Abigail Julian,

01:07:51wake up.

01:07:52The banks

01:07:52won't waive interest

01:07:53because you

01:07:54can't accept it

01:07:54and the shareholder

01:07:55won't hand over

01:07:56real money

01:07:56just because

01:07:57you can't

01:07:57accept it.

01:07:58These are

01:07:59the rules

01:07:59of business.

01:08:00So I want

01:08:01to beg you

01:08:01to help me.

01:08:06Theodore Sterling,

01:08:07please help us.

01:08:09I only look

01:08:10at financial data.

01:08:11I don't discuss

01:08:12personal ties.

01:08:13I'll pledge

01:08:14all Julian Group

01:08:15shares to you

01:08:15in exchange

01:08:16for funding.

01:08:18Julian Group's

01:08:19credit rating

01:08:19is already D.

01:08:21Collateral

01:08:22won't change

01:08:22the 80 million

01:08:23in defestal penalties

01:08:24due next Monday.

01:08:25As long as

01:08:26you inject capital,

01:08:27the banks

01:08:27will reassess us.

01:08:29The outside world

01:08:30only needs

01:08:30one signal from you.

01:08:32I won't use

01:08:33my family's cash

01:08:34to gamble

01:08:35on a group

01:08:35that has already

01:08:36stopped operating.

01:08:37But that 10 million

01:08:39contract you offered,

01:08:40how is it different

01:08:41from robbery?

01:08:43That's the price

01:08:43the market gives.

01:08:45You can ask around

01:08:46and see who still

01:08:46dares to take you on.

01:08:48Leon Hart ran off

01:08:49with the money

01:08:50and the board

01:08:51pressures us

01:08:51every day.

01:08:52I really can't

01:08:53hold on anymore.

01:08:55Sign whenever

01:08:56you have thought

01:08:57it through.

01:08:58But after tonight,

01:08:59this will no longer

01:09:00be the price.

01:09:01Mr. Sterling,

01:09:02the police

01:09:02just announced

01:09:03that Leon Hart

01:09:04is suspected

01:09:04of trust fraud

01:09:05and asset transfer.

01:09:07A formal investigation

01:09:08has been open.

01:09:09It was only

01:09:10a matter of time.

01:09:11About Julian Group,

01:09:13after visiting them

01:09:14personally tonight,

01:09:16do you really plan

01:09:17to acquire

01:09:18the entire company

01:09:19for 10 million?

01:09:20No.

01:09:23I only wanted

01:09:24to test

01:09:24the psychological

01:09:25bottom line

01:09:26of the father

01:09:27and daughter

01:09:27on the edge

01:09:28of bankruptcy

01:09:29to see how many

01:09:30more days

01:09:30they can hold

01:09:31on before

01:09:32they break.

01:09:36About Julian Group,

01:09:37after visiting

01:09:38them personally

01:09:39tonight,

01:09:39do you really

01:09:40plan to acquire

01:09:41the entire company

01:09:42for 10 million?

01:09:43No.

01:09:44I only wanted

01:09:45to test

01:09:45the psychological

01:09:46bottom line

01:09:47of the father

01:09:47and daughter

01:09:48on the edge

01:09:49of bankruptcy

01:09:50to see how

01:09:51many more days

01:09:52they can hold

01:09:52on before

01:09:53they break.

01:09:54Then what's

01:09:55our next plan?

01:09:56Use the legal

01:09:57process and take

01:09:58over Julian Group

01:09:59directly.

01:10:00The next round

01:10:01of funds will go

01:10:02into the new

01:10:03shipping channel

01:10:03business,

01:10:04which overlaps

01:10:05heavily with

01:10:06Julian's port

01:10:06operations.

01:10:07We'll cut off

01:10:08Julian's guaranteed

01:10:09credit entirely

01:10:10and force them

01:10:12into bankruptcy

01:10:12restructuring.

01:10:13Mr. Sterling,

01:10:14is this your

01:10:15decision?

01:10:16Yes.

01:10:17Before I came,

01:10:18the former chairman

01:10:20told me the two

01:10:21families have been

01:10:21old friends for

01:10:22decades.

01:10:24and asked you

01:10:25not to force

01:10:25them into a

01:10:26dead end.

01:10:27Old friendship

01:10:27belongs to the

01:10:28past.

01:10:29Julian Group

01:10:30is now rated D.

01:10:31If we don't

01:10:32take it,

01:10:33someone else will.

01:10:34Would this be

01:10:35too ruthless?

01:10:36Ruthlessness

01:10:37saves a lot

01:10:37of bad debt

01:10:38trouble.

01:10:39Vote.

01:10:45Passed

01:10:46unanimously.

01:10:51Everyone,

01:10:51this is only a

01:10:53liquidity crunch.

01:10:54We're communicating

01:10:54with the banks.

01:10:56Communicating?

01:10:57The banks put us

01:10:58on their blacklist

01:10:59long ago.

01:11:00Leon Hart ran

01:11:01off with the money

01:11:02overnight.

01:11:02Do you think

01:11:03we're fools?

01:11:04If you had not

01:11:05unilaterally torn up

01:11:06your engagement

01:11:07with Theodore

01:11:08Sterling,

01:11:09why would the banks

01:11:10have pulled loans

01:11:11overnight?

01:11:13And how would

01:11:13our business empire

01:11:15have collapsed

01:11:16overnight?

01:11:17Enough!

01:11:18What use is

01:11:19clinging to the

01:11:20past now?

01:11:21It's useful.

01:11:22I propose that

01:11:23Charles Julian

01:11:23be removed as

01:11:24CEO immediately

01:11:25and the board

01:11:26take over the

01:11:27group.

01:11:27You can't kick us

01:11:28while we're down.

01:11:30Charles,

01:11:30kicking you

01:11:31while you're down?

01:11:32You failed to

01:11:33discipline your

01:11:34daughter and let

01:11:34her treat the

01:11:35family business

01:11:36like a game.

01:11:37If you don't

01:11:37step down today,

01:11:39we'll go down

01:11:40with you.

01:11:46Enough.

01:11:47I concede.

01:11:48I withdraw

01:11:49from management.

01:11:56Mr. Sterling,

01:11:58Julian Group's

01:11:59board has passed

01:11:59the restructuring

01:12:00resolution.

01:12:01Abigail Julian

01:12:02and Charles Julia

01:12:03announced they're

01:12:03giving up control.

01:12:04As expected.

01:12:06They're urgently

01:12:06contacting outside

01:12:07capital.

01:12:08No one is

01:12:09funding them.

01:12:16Can they still

01:12:17produce even

01:12:17one dollar of

01:12:18their own funds?

01:12:19Not a cent.

01:12:20Even next month's

01:12:21employee salaries

01:12:22have to be

01:12:22borrowed.

01:12:23Notify legal to

01:12:24activate the

01:12:25credit collateral

01:12:26close.

01:12:26We'll take this

01:12:27empty shell over

01:12:28for nothing.

01:12:32Mr. Sterling,

01:12:33Julian Group's

01:12:34board valuation

01:12:35has shrunk by

01:12:3570%.

01:12:36Should we make

01:12:37a move now?

01:12:38No rush.

01:12:40But if someone

01:12:41else takes it

01:12:41over at this

01:12:42time?

01:12:42Anyone who

01:12:43signs for

01:12:44Abigail Julian

01:12:44right now is

01:12:45openly going

01:12:46against us.

01:12:48Investors weigh

01:12:49the risks.

01:12:50No one will

01:12:50take that

01:12:50chance.

01:12:51Then Abigail

01:12:52Julian,

01:12:53should we send

01:12:54someone to

01:12:54watch her?

01:12:55No need.

01:12:56Her shareholder

01:12:57won't last

01:12:57through today.

01:12:58The restructuring

01:12:59proposal in her

01:13:00hand is worth

01:13:01less than waste

01:13:01paper.

01:13:02Wait a little

01:13:03longer.

01:13:03She'll come

01:13:04back on her

01:13:05own.

01:13:07Mr.

01:13:08Kaufman,

01:13:08this is our

01:13:09latest restructuring

01:13:10proposal.

01:13:11If you provide

01:13:1250 million in

01:13:12funding, we'll

01:13:13give you 20%

01:13:14equity.

01:13:18Abigail Julian,

01:13:19your father and

01:13:20I go way back.

01:13:21But business is

01:13:23business.

01:13:25This money is

01:13:26only to handle

01:13:27the bank

01:13:27collection.

01:13:28as long as we

01:13:29get through this

01:13:30week.

01:13:30Theodore Sterling

01:13:31already has his

01:13:32eye on you.

01:13:34No one dares to

01:13:35help you.

01:13:36Go home.

01:13:45Mr.

01:13:46Marcus,

01:13:46please wait.

01:13:50Mr.

01:13:51Marcus,

01:13:52Julian Group

01:13:53still has a

01:13:54foundation.

01:13:54This is the

01:13:55restructuring

01:13:56proposal.

01:13:57Please just

01:13:57take a look.

01:13:58Stop embarrassing

01:13:58yourself.

01:13:59You tore up

01:14:00your engagement

01:14:01to Theodore

01:14:02Sterling.

01:14:02Do you think

01:14:03anyone will

01:14:03still lend you

01:14:04a hand?

01:14:23Please in.

01:14:25Theodore

01:14:26Sterling,

01:14:26I didn't

01:14:27expect I'd

01:14:28have to

01:14:28wait three

01:14:29hours at

01:14:29reception

01:14:30just to

01:14:30see you

01:14:30now.
