03:52chase you really know how to have fun
03:55you're really pushing it if it weren't a little wild would you even like it we're not at the office
04:00yet we still have time to sit back here and enjoy the city lights you're such an asshole
04:11mr pembroke here's what you asked for
04:42here's what you asked for
04:43i'm going to be able to watch the video
04:44and watch the video
04:57Mr. Pembroke, we're here.
05:03Already? What a mood killer.
05:11What's the rest?
05:14We can keep going once we get upstairs, can't we?
05:20Jessica?
05:21Evan?
05:28Do you think you owe me an explanation?
05:35Mr. Pembroke.
05:42Jessica.
05:44Let me guess, this is that fiancé of yours? I've looked into you. A neighborhood mechanic? Just a broke nobody
05:50who's going to spend his whole life fixing other people's cars.
05:53So he's just a mechanic. Jessica, having someone like this hanging around you is nothing but trouble.
05:57I bet the only reason he came all the way here is to get something out of Chase.
06:00Chase? Chase Pembroke. You're Chase Pembroke? Back there in the car.
06:04That's right. Yeah. Back there in the car I had a great time. You fixed my car, then you drove
06:09me around and I took good care of your fiancé for you. Sounds fair, doesn't it?
06:14Now that is funny.
06:16He drove Mr. Pembroke around only to find his own fiancé sitting in the back.
06:21So you two have been cheating on me this whole time.
06:23Evan, who do you think you are? I don't need your permission to be with anyone.
06:27Evan, when a woman stays with a man for this many years and she can't get the life she wants
06:31or the satisfaction she needs, tell me, why the hell should she stay with you?
06:36Well, that explains it. No wonder Jessica chose Mr. Pembroke.
06:40One is the CEO of Pembroke Group. The other spends every day under cars fixing them. Any woman would know
06:45which one to choose, right?
06:48Exactly. Chase can give me everything I want. And you? You can't even afford our wedding or the down payment
06:53on a decent apartment. What right do you have to judge me?
06:56Jessica, eight years. After everything I've done for you, did any of it ever mean anything to you? How could
07:02you do this to me? What about our baby?
07:05Oh, the baby. Sorry, that baby really isn't yours.
07:12What? The baby isn't mine?
07:23This is hilarious. After all that, he didn't even know the baby wasn't his?
07:27Jessica, you played that beautifully. A loser is still a loser. In the end, all he's good for is being
07:32you.
07:32Now you finally understand just how useless you are, don't you? Jessica simply chose the life she actually wanted. The
07:38world doesn't reward losers.
07:40You work late every day. You crawl under cars and get covered in grease. Also, you could afford a wedding
07:46and a decent apartment.
07:47But the things you work so hard for mean absolutely nothing to me.
07:52Chase!
07:56What? You still want to hit me? Come on. Do it.
08:00You two sick pieces of shit. Sooner or later, you're going to pay for everything you did today.
08:06Fine. I'll be waiting.
08:11Teach this mechanic where he belongs.
08:30Come on, baby. Let's go.
08:32Chase, we can pick up where we left on upstairs.
08:43Today, I finally understood. If you have no money, no power, nothing to back you up, people will walk all
08:49over you.
08:50Chase Pembroke, Jessica Langley, thank you for showing me what this world really is.
08:54Starting today, I'll rise so high you'll never be able to reach me.
09:03Mr. Everhart!
09:05Who did this to you?
09:07Gideon, what you said before, does it still stand?
09:10It always will. Have you made up your mind?
09:12All right.
09:14Then I only have two questions.
09:16Go ahead.
09:17Do I have final say over all of Everhart Global's East Coast operations?
09:21Yes.
09:22Good. One more question. Do I have full authority over Everhart Global's funds?
09:26You have full authority over them.
09:27Very good.
09:29Chase Pembroke, Jessica Langley, I'll settle the score with you myself.
09:34Every last bit of it.
09:35Gideon, don't call me Evan anymore.
09:37From now on, call me Mr. Everhart.
09:47I know Garrett wants me to handle the East Coast operations for now, but...
09:50Mr. Everhart, you have nothing to worry about.
09:52Mr. Garrett Everhart has formally authorized you to act in his place.
09:56No one has the right to question your decisions on the East Coast.
09:59Good. That's a relief.
10:01Mr. Everhart, there's one more thing.
10:03Go ahead.
10:04Mr. Garrett Everhart wants you to go through with this engagement in his place.
10:07What? An engagement?
10:12Wait. Even if we look exactly alike, we're still two completely different people.
10:16How am I supposed to pull this off?
10:18You don't need to worry.
10:20Ever since Mr. Garrett Everhart took over Everhart Global Holdings,
10:23he's kept a very low profile and rarely gives interviews.
10:26Even his fiancée has never actually met him.
10:29All right. I got it. I'll go meet her.
10:36Camille Wexler?
10:38Camille, Pembrook Group won the right to host the bidding gala.
10:41If they use this opportunity to get closer to Everhart Global,
10:43it'll put us at a serious disadvantage in the upcoming bid.
10:46So what?
10:47Wexler Capital isn't going to lose its nerve over one Pemberton Group.
10:55Your entire afternoon is reserved for a private guest.
10:58When he arrives, keep him company until I'm free.
11:00All right?
11:01I'm curious.
11:02Who could possibly be important enough for you to clear your entire afternoon?
11:06My fiancée.
11:07The man I've never even met.
11:15I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
11:18No problem.
11:25Have we met somewhere before?
11:27I don't think so.
11:28It doesn't matter.
11:33No engagement agreement can make those cheap clothes look any better.
11:36I was in a rush today. I didn't really dress up.
11:41Do you even realize that Camille runs Wexler Capital?
11:45She deals with investment bankers, fund managers,
11:47and the most influential families on the East Coast every day.
11:50You don't belong in her world. You're not good enough for her.
11:53What do you mean? You're not Camille Wexler?
11:55Of course not.
11:56You really think someone like you is worth Camille's time?
12:00Name your price. How much will it take for you to give up this engagement?
12:04You want it? It's yours.
12:13Wexler Capital, right?
12:15If I'm right, Wexler Capital will lose at least $10 billion in market value within three days.
12:21And your stock price will fall all the way back to where it was at the IPO.
12:25You might want to hold on to that money. You might need it sooner than you think.
12:30Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
12:37Mr. Everhart, please wait.
12:46Lauren? Who told you to make that decision for me?
12:49Camille, someone like him isn't worth your time. Get out. Right away.
12:54Mr. Everhart, I'm sorry about Lauren. Something came up at the office and it delayed me.
12:59It's fine.
12:59But you didn't have to say Wexler Capital would lose $10 billion in three days.
13:03I'm not trying to jinx you. I'm just telling you what I see.
13:07What you see? Camille, we have a problem. Our flagship project is under attack from multiple
13:13competitors. Several key partners have pulled out at the same time. The stock is already down 12%.
13:18It's still falling. How did this happen? We're seeing massive sell-offs and someone is still shorting
13:24the stock. At this rate, we'll lose several more billion dollars in market value before the closing
13:28bell. Notify every executive. Call an emergency meeting now. Right. It's too late. What do you
13:33mean? By the time you're done, the stock will have already broken through support. Camille, don't
13:39listen to him. We don't have time to let some amateur tell us what to do. What are you doing?
13:48Hey! That's our trading system. Don't mess with it. Quiet.
13:53Someone is deliberately driving your stock price down. What?
13:57They're triggering panic selling first, then using several linked accounts to keep pushing the price
14:01lower. The technique isn't impressive, but their appetite sure is.
14:14How is that possible? He actually stopped the slide.
14:23How did you do that? Even the best trader couldn't stabilize a situation like this in a minute.
14:28Don't celebrate yet. I only stopped the first wave of selling. It'll hold for a few hours
14:32at most. What do you mean? The company's problems are still there. As long as the fundamentals don't
14:36change, they can hit you again at any time. Then what do you think we should do? You really want
14:40to hear
14:40it? I'm only going to say this once. Listen, shut down the projects that are burning cash right now. The
14:45sooner,
14:45the better. Are you insane? Then restart the advanced technology project you shelved last year.
14:51That's what can restore market confidence right now. You got lucky and stabilized the stock once,
14:56and now you really think you're some gold street genius?
14:58You seem awfully afraid that I'm right. I... Gideon, this is Camille Wexler. We're going to restart the
15:04advanced technology project we sheltered last year. What? You've decided to restart that project?
15:09Camille, I told you he was a fraud. That's great! That project should have been restarted long ago.
15:15Everett Global will immediately invest one billion dollars in Wexler Capital. Wait, that's it? It's already a done deal?
15:21I can't believe it either. Mr. Everheald, you wouldn't happen to actually have some connection to Everett Global, would you?
15:27He just got lucky. Gideon made the decision. What does any of this have to do with him?
15:33Besides, look at him. How could someone like that possibly have anything to do with the Everhart family?
15:37She's right. I'm just an ordinary guy. No money, no connections. I just happen to have the last name Everhart.
15:43All right. Here, take this back. Keep it. What do you mean? This engagement? I've decided not to cancel it.
15:53Camille, why did you suddenly change your mind about canceling the engagement?
15:57I was just thinking. Someone who can see through a short selling attack in minutes and accurately
16:02predict where Everhart will invest next? Could he really just be an ordinary man? He just got lucky.
16:07That's all. No. His last name is Everhart, too. Find out everything about Evan Everhart's background.
16:13I want the full report before the investment gala.
16:20Mr. Everhart, would you like to attend tonight's bidding gala, hosted by Chase on Garrett's behalf?
16:27A lot of investors, corporate executives, and representatives from prominent families across
16:31the East Coney will be there. They're all eager to meet the man who runs Everhart Global Holdings.
16:35Since Chase is hosting it, of course I'm going. By the way, add another $5 billion to Wexler Capital's
16:42advanced technology project. Announce it at the bidding gala tonight. That project has far more
16:47potential than people realize. It's worth another investment. Besides, Camille, she's a smart woman.
16:55Since she didn't call off the engagement, I suppose I can look after her a little.
17:02Jessica, tonight is an important event for Pembridge Group. They're all investors and
17:08executives. You're good at working a room, so don't waste the opportunity.
17:12Don't worry, Chase. I know how to work a room.
17:15I know you do. Go.
17:22Frank, Daniel, what's the fun in drinking by yourselves? Come on. I'll have a drink with you.
17:29Jessica, if you ever get tired of working for Chase, you can come work for me. Name your title
17:34and your salary. Of course. And when you're free, maybe we can get to know each other a little better.
17:39Just the two of us.
17:41Frank, could you tone it down a little? She still works for Pembridge.
17:45What? We just met tonight and you're already making a move on me?
17:50Come on, let's drink.
17:55By the way, I heard the man who runs Everhard Global Holdings is coming tonight.
17:59That's right. He's barely appeared in public over the years. We're lucky to get a chance to see him tonight.
18:04The man behind Everhard Global Holdings? If I can get in with him tonight, who dare look down on me
18:10again?
18:11He's here.
18:42Evan?
18:49Evan? How did you get in here?
18:51How I got in is none of your business move.
18:53You followed me in here, didn't you? I know you still haven't gotten over what happened.
18:57You still can't let me go, can you? But I'm telling you right now, stop chasing after me.
19:02There is absolutely no chance for us.
19:05A man like you is nothing but a pathetic loser who can't take a hint. You don't have an ounce
19:10of dignity.
19:11Jessica, has anyone ever told you how disgusting you are?
19:13I'm still in a good mood. Don't ruin it. Stay away from me.
19:16A woman like you isn't worth a second look.
19:18What? Did I hit a nerve?
19:20If you know what's good for you, leave.
19:22Do you really want everyone here to see the loser who couldn't even keep his own girlfriend?
19:27Then I'll stay. I'll see for myself.
19:30You might want to watch yourself. Talking like that here could get you into trouble.
19:34Unless you're looking for it.
19:36Evan, it's too late now. I warned you.
19:40Jessica, this is the deadbeat ex you told us about following you all the way here.
19:43Following me, you're giving him way too much credit.
19:46Following me? You're giving him way too much credit.
19:49He's nothing but a loser.
19:57So he's just an ordinary nobody with no money and no connection.
20:00Jessica, you really need better taste in men.
20:03A guy like him? Who knows what he'd do just to get into a place like this?
20:07It's over. Give it up. You're only making yourself look pathetic.
20:11So I'm the one dragging Jessica down?
20:13Evan, you and I don't belong in the same world.
20:16I suggest you leave now. This isn't a place where someone like you belongs.
20:20Oh, and before you go, don't forget to return that rented suit.
20:24You really think changing clothes would make me look at you twice?
20:27I never needed you to think highly of me. A cheap woman like you isn't worth it.
20:34Oh, I almost forgot. You couldn't even afford our wedding or the down payment on a decent apartment.
20:38Just get out!
20:39Shouldn't you be the one getting out?
20:41What? Love turned to hate?
20:43Jessica, you put up with a man like this for eight years. I don't know how you did it.
20:47So this is my fault too?
20:48Of course. Evan, you're nothing but a joke.
20:52At least you're giving everyone something to laugh at.
20:56What the hell are you laughing at?
20:58No offense. I just realized something. You're all exactly like her. You're all trash.
21:08You really want to take on the entire East Coast business world?
21:11So what?
21:12No wonder this circle is rotten.
21:14People like you actually call yourselves high society?
21:16You're the one who doesn't belong here.
21:19Evan, you actually showed up here. I have to admit, I'm surprised.
21:23But since you're here, I'll let you stay. Take a good look at just how far beneath us you really
21:28are.
21:29Mr. Pembroke, someone like him doesn't deserve your attention. You're being far too generous.
21:34Mr. Pembroke, tonight's gala is crucial to the bidding.
21:38Gideon Price from Everhard Global will be here as well.
21:41And I heard the real man in charge, the one who almost never appears in public,
21:45will be here tonight too. If he causes trouble, it could hurt us.
21:50Doesn't matter. He's just a nobody with no money and no connections.
21:54Let him stay. Maybe he'll finally understand where he stands.
21:58Chase, of course you're going to let me stay. Because if I leave, you might as well cancel the gallery.
22:05Evan, do you ever get tired of running your mouth? What the world stops turning without you?
22:09Oh, I almost forgot. My baby's going to be Pembroke.
22:17Jessica, I told you. I'll make you pay for what you did today. Stay away from me.
22:25Babe, look what he did. He hurt me.
22:29Evan, don't push me! Security! Throw him out!
22:34Wexler Capital, Ms. Kamail Wexler has arrived.
22:46I'd like to see anyone try.
22:56Camille, I know you like sticking your nose into other people's business,
22:58but this is Pembroke Group's business. You're stepping in too?
23:01Yes. His business is my business.
23:05So you're really choosing to make an enemy of Pembroke Group?
23:08Make an enemy of you? Chase, don't flatter yourself.
23:11Pembroke Group isn't big enough for me to take seriously.
23:14Camille, then say what you mean. What exactly is this man to you?
23:20Ms. Wexler? What are you doing?
23:22The loser you keep talking about is my fiancé.
23:25Your fiancé? You can't be serious. He's my worthless ex. How could he possibly be your fiancé?
23:31You were too blind to see his worth. You don't get to question me.
23:35Camille, going this far from me, is it worth it?
23:38It's fine, Evan. If he's the man I've chosen, then his business is my business.
23:42Evan, no wonder you've been so smug since you walked in.
23:45So you latched onto Wexler Capital.
23:47Chase, don't get ahead of yourself. I remember exactly how you treated me.
23:51The real show hasn't even started yet.
23:53The real show? Like, Evan Everhard's true identity?
23:58Lauren, what do you mean? Camille, weren't you the one who told me to investigate his background?
24:03I found out everything. This man, he's nothing but a neighborhood mechanic.
24:12A mechanic?
24:13He's really just a mechanic?
24:15Lauren, what the hell are you doing? Camille, don't forget, you were the one who asked me to look into
24:21him.
24:21You... I'm only telling everyone the truth. What's wrong with that?
24:26Of course she didn't. Everyone here can see exactly who he is.
24:31Are you really going to keep lying to yourself?
24:34Lauren, you betrayed me?
24:36That's not the only way she betrayed you. You leaped Wexler Capital's Project Secrets to Chase too, didn't you?
24:42A mechanic?
24:43Lauren, what the hell are you doing? Camille, don't forget, you were the one who asked me to look into
24:48him.
24:49You... I'm only telling everyone the truth. What's wrong with that?
24:54Of course she didn't. Everyone here can see exactly who he is.
24:59Are you really going to keep lying to yourself?
25:01Lauren, you betrayed me?
25:04That's not the only way she betrayed you. You leaped Wexler Capital's Project Secrets to Chase too, didn't you?
25:10Pretty smart.
25:12Camille, you have to know which side is winning. Chase already has Everhard Global behind him.
25:17After tonight, Pembroke Group will be on top, one of the most powerful business groups on the East Coast.
25:22And Wexler Capital? It's finished.
25:25That's what real power looks like. Once I meet the real man in charge of Everhard Global tonight,
25:31the investment coming to Pembroke Group will be astronomical.
25:34And everyone here will share in the benefits.
25:38Everyone except you two.
25:40Mr. Pembroke, don't forget about us when that happens.
25:42And me. I'll be counting on you too.
25:44Of course. After tonight, Wexler Capital won't have a way back. And you, Camille,
25:49you'll become the laughing stock of the entire East Coast business world for choosing a man like him.
25:53Evan, look at you. Everywhere you go, you bring trouble with you.
25:57Ms. Wexler, I'd reconsider if I were you. It's not too late.
26:01Otherwise, after tonight, it won't just be Pembroke Group you've made an enemy to.
26:04It'll be the entire East Coast business world.
26:07It's true. I work at an auto repair shop. But I really do want to help you.
26:14If that's the case, then I'd be more than happy to have you.
26:24Mrs. Wexler, you're really willing to embarrass Wexler over a mechanic?
26:29Camille, he doesn't even belong at a gala like this.
26:32Your fiancé, no better options left.
26:36Evan, I really underestimated you. No money, no connections, so you found another way up.
26:42Jessica didn't want you, and you turned around and latched onto Wexler's CEO.
26:47Getting Wexler's CEO personally back you? That's quite a feat.
26:52Too bad a pass you got by riding a woman's coach tail, so it won't help when it's time to
26:55do real business.
26:56Evan, you used to lecture me about dignity all the time. I thought you actually had some pride.
27:01Turns out you just hadn't found a richer woman yet. Enough!
27:06Let them talk. When the person who really calls the shots at Everhard gets here,
27:11you'll learn there's a difference between being brought in by someone else and actually earning your
27:14place here. Mr. Pembroke, when you secure Everhard's investment tonight, don't forget about us.
27:19Once Pembroke gets Everhard behind it, the East Coast business world may have a whole new pecking order
27:23after tonight. Don't worry. Once the deal is signed, everyone here will get their share.
27:28Everhead Global, Mr. Gideon Price has arrived.
27:36Mr. Price, I've been waiting for you. Pembroke's project materials are all ready,
27:40as long as Everhead is willing. Mr. Everhurth. Mr. Price, have you mistaken him for someone else?
27:53He's just a- The additional five billion dollars you ordered for Wexler Capital has been fully
27:57approved by the board. Five billion dollars?
28:07Wait. Wasn't that five billion supposed to go to Pembroke? Why is it going to Wexler?
28:11Exactly. Everhard was here tonight to discuss an investment in Pembroke. Mr. Price, something's
28:16wrong here. I looked into him. He's been working at a neighborhood repair shop this whole time.
28:21How could he possibly decide where five billion dollars of Everhurth's money goes?
28:28You don't move five billion dollars with a single word. Did Wexler pull strings for him after all?
28:34I get it now. Camille is so desperate to prop up this mechanic that she's even trying to influence
28:38Everhurth's investments. Evan, you couldn't even afford our wedding before. Now someone's backing you
28:43and you suddenly think you're some big shot who can move tens of billions of dollars. At the end of
28:48the
28:48day, the only reason he's standing here is Camille. You- No need to explain. What, you don't like
28:56hearing it? A suit in a place beside Wexler's CEO don't erase the fact that you spent ten years in
29:01a repair shop. When the person who really has authority at Everhurth shows up, you'll only embarrass
29:05yourself even more. Mr. Pembroke! Looks like none of you know who Mr. Everhurth really is.
29:12Who could he possibly be? Since everyone is so curious, let me make it clear. The man standing
29:19in front of you, Evan Everhead, is the heir to the Everhead family. What?
29:29Really the Everheart heir? So what if you're the heir? You walked away from the family for ten years. You
29:36haven't managed the group in a decade. You spent your days in a repair shop. Bloodline may let you inherit
29:40Everheart, but it doesn't teach you how to run a business overnight. Exactly. Being born into the
29:44right family doesn't make you an investor. Evan, I was with you for eight years. If you were really
29:49that capable, would you have spent all those years in a repair shop? Status is one thing. Ability is
29:55another. You don't know how to billion dollar deals just because you have the right last name.
30:02What? You're really gonna stand here and pick apart my proposal? Your debt is too high. At your
30:06current burn rate, your cash flow lasts six months at most. You've already priced the next
30:10three years of profits into your valuation. Your core assets have been pledged more than once,
30:14and the collection periods on several major projects keep getting longer. The same assets
30:18were pledged twice? Chase, you never told us that. And you believe him just because he throws out a few
30:23lines? The Pier 7 project and the North Shore Logistics Center use the same pool of core assets
30:28as collateral. Check it yourselves if you think I'm making it up. Enough! You're only targeting Pembroke
30:33because Jessica chose me! You're giving yourself too much credit. Notify the investment department.
30:39Effective immediately, suspend all review of every Pembroke project. Evan! Everheed will not invest a
30:45single dollar in Pembroke. Not a single dollar? You really think Pembroke can't survive without
30:57Everheed? Then prove it. Don't think sharing the Everheed name makes you some business genius. You were
31:05out of the game for 10 years and now you think you get to decide whether Pembroke is worth investing
31:09in?
31:09Chase Wright. Evan, I know better than anyone that you used to be like. Which is why you made the
31:15wrong
31:16choice for 8 years. Let's go.
31:26A man who spent 10 years in a repair shop dares humiliate me in front of the entire East Coast
31:30business world! We can't let this end here. If we let him walk out tonight thinking he won,
31:36everyone will think Pembroke lost to him. Of course we can't. I still have Wexler's next
31:41acquisition plan. Nova Dynamics, an advanced technology company. Wexler's internal target
31:46price is 2.8 billion dollars. Then we'll beat them to it! He says I'm not worth investing in? Fine.
31:53This time I'm gonna make him watch Pembroke take the deal right out of Wexler. I'll show everyone
31:58that being an heir can't save an incompetent man. Lauren took Nova's acquisition files. Do you want
32:07me to stop it now? No. But that's our acquisition plan. No, it isn't. I left it there specifically for
32:15her.
32:24Mr. Pembroke, Wexler Capital was reportedly also pursuing Nova. Does this acquisition mean Pembroke
32:33beat Wexler head-on? There is no almost in business. Whoever signs the contract is the winner. At 3.7
32:39billion dollars you paid significantly above market expectations. Are you concerned you overpaid?
32:43Nova owns next generation core technology. As long as its patents and products are successfully
32:47commercialized, this price will prove more than justified. If the technology is real,
32:513.7 billion isn't too much. Once this deal pays off, Pembroke's valuation could climb again.
32:57Some people return to the family and immediately think they're still the investment genius they were
33:0110 years ago. Looks like he's nothing special after all. He kept Wexler steady, only proves he got
33:06lucky. When you're sitting at a real M&A table, experience isn't something you can fake. I'd also like to
33:11take this opportunity to say something to certain people. The capital markets aren't an auto repair
33:16shop. A wrench can fix a car, but it can't fix a business worth tens of billions.
33:29Mr. Pembroke! What's got you so worked up? Nova, there's a problem with Nova.
33:36What did you just say?
33:45Before the acquisition closed, Nova had already split off key assets.
33:50What assets did they spin off?
33:52The core patents, the R&D team, and all global licensing rights.
33:57They were all transferred to Verdix Technologies.
34:00Then who owns Verdix?
34:03Wexler Capital already acquired it.
34:11Impossible! I reviewed Nova's materials myself!
34:20There was nothing about an asset spin-off in the acquisition plan I got.
34:25You went through all that trouble? To steal this? And it's nothing but garbage?
34:31It was Evan. He must have deliberately let me get those files. He never understood any of this before.
34:39Gideon must have been helping him behind the scenes.
34:41Exactly. A guy who spent 10 years fixing cars couldn't possibly have outplayed me.
34:46Mr. Pembroke! Pembroke is down more than 8 percent!
34:57It's still falling!
34:58What about the money we put in?
35:00Why are you panicking?
35:02Nova still has factories, a brand, and customers. It's not worthless!
35:06But the market believes we massively overvalued Nova, and the sell-off is still going.
35:11Then issue a statement! Tell everyone Nova is still worth 3.7 billion dollars!
35:16The core technology is gone.
35:19Do you really think anyone will believe that now?
35:22Shut up!
35:26Mr. Pembroke, due to the significant risk from the Nova acquisition, we're conducting a new review of Pembroke Group's credit
35:31facilities.
35:32One bad acquisition and you're turning on us?
35:34We're simply conducting a standard risk review.
35:38Pembroke's worked with you for years, and now you're calling this a standard review?
35:43The other two banks you work with have initiated the same review.
35:48All three banks are reviewing Pembroke at the same time.
35:51They're not going to freeze the credit lines too, are they?
35:54It's only a review. That doesn't mean they'll actually freeze anything.
35:59Right. As long as we still have cash flow, Pembroke will be fine.
36:05What now?!
36:07All three banks just sent notices at the same time.
36:11Pembroke's remaining credit lines have all been temporarily froze.
36:253.7 billion dollars!
36:29You spent 3.7 billion dollars and ended up with a shell company with no core technology!
36:35Now all three banks have frozen your remaining credit lines.
36:38Chase, how are you going to answer for this?
36:42NOVA still has factories, customers, and a brand. It's not worthless.
36:47But you paid 3.7 billion dollars for it.
36:50This isn't Chase's fault. Evans set him up.
36:53Doesn't that make it even more humiliating?
36:55You kept saying all he knew how to do was fix cars.
36:59And that mechanic cost Pembroke tens of billions in one day!
37:04ENOUGH!
37:06He beat me once, that's all.
37:08Once?
37:11He planted those NOVA files for us to take.
37:14He may have even anticipated exactly how the banks would react.
37:19Whose side are you on?
37:24I'm trying to stop Pembroke from digging itself even deeper.
37:27Then shut up and watch.
37:29He thinks he's so good at calculating everything, doesn't he?
37:33What are you planning?
37:34Short Wexler.
37:35Are you insane?!
37:37Everhead is backing Wexler now!
37:38So what if it does?
37:41Evan is the one calling the shots.
37:43A man who spent 10 years fixing cars wins once because he has the Everhead name behind him and
37:48suddenly he thinks he's a Wall Street genius?
37:51Wexler is surging right now.
37:52What are you going to use to short it?
37:54How much cash do we have left?
37:55After setting aside operating reserves, there's not much we can move.
37:59Then borrow it.
38:00The bank credit lines are frozen.
38:01We won't be able to get a conventional loan right now.
38:03Then go to private credit.
38:05We can put Pembroke headquarters and my shares in the group up as collateral.
38:09You're going to bet all of Pembroke against Evan?
38:12If this fails, you could lose Pembroke itself.
38:14Evan wants to step on me to prove himself, doesn't he?
38:18Then I'll show him that a mechanic will always be a mechanic.
38:26The private credit funds have arrived.
38:28Three billion dollars.
38:31Short Wexler with all of it.
38:33You're not keeping anything back?
38:36Every last dollar.
38:42The first trache is in.
38:48Down three percent.
38:50Keep going.
38:52Five percent.
38:53It's still falling.
38:55Seven percent now.
39:01See that? And this is why you wanted me to stop?
39:04We're already profitable. Take some of the position off.
39:08Not yet.
39:10Down more than ten percent.
39:11I knew Evan couldn't beat you twice.
39:15I'm going to make back everything we lost on Nova in one shot.
39:18Keep pressing.
39:20Wexler is down twelve percent.
39:22How much has Pembroke put in?
39:25Two point one billion dollars.
39:27Nine hundred billion to go.
39:28You're waiting for him to go all in?
39:30He's already put Pembroke on the line.
39:32He won't stop.
39:33Fourteen percent.
39:34The broader market is starting to sell too.
39:36Let him sell.
39:39The five billion dollar investment can officially close at any time.
39:42What about Vertex?
39:43The core patents, R&D team and technology contracts are all ready.
39:48Wait a little longer.
39:50You've held everything back because you're waiting for Chase's last nine hundred million.
39:58It's in.
40:21It's in.
40:25A little more of a drop and we'll make back everything we lost.
40:28This is only the beginning.
40:31Wait!
40:33What is it?
40:34Everhart's just announced that the five billion dollar investment in Wexler has officially closed.
40:39Vertex released its core technology contracts too.
40:43This is bad.
40:44What do you mean bad?
40:46He's been waiting for all of our money to go in.
40:50Wexler stopped falling.
40:53It's bouncing.
40:55Keep selling!
40:56All of our money is already in the position.
41:00Close it!
41:01Close the position now!
41:04We can't!
41:05The buying pressure is too strong!
41:09Get me out of the position!
41:12960 million, Mr. Pembleton.
41:15The losses have topped one billion dollars.
41:21Ten one billion dollars?
41:28How did we lose a billion dollars?!
41:33This is all because of you.
41:34Me?
41:35If you hadn't stolen those Nova files, would I have spent 3.7 billion dollars buying that shell?
41:39Buying Nova was your decision.
41:41Shorting Wexler was your decision too.
41:43Shut up!
41:45You still don't get it?
41:46From the moment Nova came up, he was waiting for you to put your own money on the line.
41:50One step by by time.
41:51He deliberately let me take those files.
41:53But buying Nova was your choice.
41:55You couldn't wait to get it.
41:56After you lost, you refused to stop, pledged the headquarters and your shares,
42:00then threw another three billion into Shorting Wexler.
42:01Those were all your decisions.
42:03What he really counted on was that you'd never admit defeat.
42:07I haven't lost!
42:08A billion dollars is gone, and you still don't call that a loss?
42:12Coleman Industries is pulling out of all future cooperation.
42:15Howard Capital is too.
42:16You dare walk away now?!
42:18You put up the headquarters and your shares.
42:21If we stay with you, we'll go down with you.
42:25Come back!
42:43What?
42:44What?
42:47You regret it now that you know he's the Everhard heir?
42:50What are you talking about?
42:52Then why were you staring at him?
42:54I was just...
42:55Were you thinking that if you hadn't betrayed him, you'd be the one standing beside Evan right now?
43:00I wasn't.
43:02You'd better not.
43:03You still have time to question her?
43:05You're the last person here who gets to speak!
43:09Chase.
43:10Get out.
43:14As of today, you're done with Pepperick.
43:24You want to dump all the blame on me?
43:41Chase, if you want me to take the fall for you, then don't blame me for what happens next.
43:49Transaction records, Wexler's trade secrets, the short selling accounts and the documents Chase signed.
43:54It's all here.
43:54Your terms.
43:55Give me a way out.
43:57Did you leave Camille a way out when you betrayed her?
44:00I know you won't forgive me, but if these files go to the regulators, they're enough to get Chase in
44:05serious trouble.
44:06I'll verify everything.
44:08Then what about me?
44:09Camille is the one you betrayed.
44:11Whether you get another chance is up to her.
44:19If the files are real, Chase is in serious trouble.
44:22Verify them first.
44:29Lauren came to see you?
44:31Yeah.
44:32She wanted me to give her a way out.
44:34You said yes?
44:35No, she betrayed you.
44:37Whether you forgive her is your decision.
44:41I thought the Everhart heir liked making decisions for other people.
44:44Your business is yours.
44:46I'm not making that call for you.
44:49Evan, I'm starting to think you're not quite as annoying as you were when we first met.
44:53Just not as annoying?
44:55What else?
44:56I thought-
44:57Watch out!
45:03Are you okay?
45:05I'm fine.
45:06Evan!
45:18Looks like I picked a bad time.
45:20Jessica, what are you doing here?
45:22I want to talk to you alone.
45:24No, whatever you have to say, say it here.
45:28Evan, we were together for eight years.
45:31Can I not even talk to you alone anymore?
45:33If that's all, step aside.
45:35Wait!
45:36I admit I was wrong.
45:38But back then, I really thought you'd spend the rest of your life in that repair shop.
45:42We were going to get married, buy a home, have a kid.
45:45I just didn't want us worrying about money every day.
45:49So you slept with Chase?
45:51If you told me sooner that you were the Everhart heir, none of this would have happened.
45:56So you don't regret betraying me?
45:58You regret not knowing I was rich?
45:59That's not true.
46:01Evan, those eight years were real.
46:03I stayed with you when you were sick.
46:05We got through the hardest times together.
46:06I admit I was wrong and I really regret it now.
46:13I know you have a new life now, but you can't just erase eight years like they meant nothing.
46:18If you're willing, I'll leave Chase right now.
46:23Evan, let's start over.
46:31Evan, if you're willing, I'll leave Chase right now.
46:33We can start over.
46:34No.
46:37Do you hate me that much?
46:38Hate? No, I just don't want you anymore.
46:43It's because of her, isn't it?
46:46Because she's Wexler's CEO and she can help you now?
46:49You think she's better than me?
46:51How long have you even known her?
46:54Your engagement was a family arrangement from the start.
46:56She doesn't know you like I do.
46:58Enough.
46:59This is between you and me.
47:01Leave Camille out of this.
47:02Am I wrong?
47:04If she weren't Wexler's heir, would you still be standing beside her?
47:07Then if I weren't the Everhart heir, would you still be standing here?
47:12You know the answer.
47:14Evan!
47:15You're really throwing away eight years together because of her?
47:20This isn't about her.
47:22You're the one who threw those eight years away.
47:26You coming?
47:27Coming.
47:37What do you want to say?
47:39Nothing.
47:40You've looked at me three times already.
47:43I just didn't expect you to walk away from eight years that easily.
47:48Was I supposed to have a hard time letting go?
47:50I didn't say that.
47:52Then why were you nervous back there?
47:55Me? Nervous?
48:01Two more partners have pulled out and the private equity firm is demanding more collateral.
48:06Keep finding money.
48:08No one's willing to lend to Pembroke now.
48:12Mr. Pembroke.
48:13What now?
48:14A two billion dollar emergency financing payment just hit the account.
48:17From who?
48:19Blackwood Capital.
48:26Blackwood Capital.
48:28Contact them now.
48:30They're already calling.
48:32Chase Pembroke speaking.
48:33You got the money?
48:34Why are you helping me?
48:35Mr. Pembroke, you've misunderstood.
48:38Blackwood doesn't help people.
48:40We invest in opportunities with value.
48:42What's the catch?
48:42Stay in the game.
48:44What does that mean?
48:45Haven't you always wanted to beat Evan Everhithe?
48:47You know him?
48:48All you need to know is we don't want Pembroke going under this soon.
48:52So the two billion is to keep me fighting Evan?
48:55You sure you have the guts?
48:58Why wouldn't I?
48:59Good.
49:00Then don't let me see you lose like this again.
49:04Mr. Pembroke, this money came out of nowhere.
49:09As long as it gets me back on my feet, I don't care whose money it is.
49:14Evan, I won't let this go.
49:21Mr. Everhart, Pemberton just received two billion dollars in financing.
49:26There's still someone willing to lend Chase two billion dollars?
49:29Who?
49:29Blackwood Capital.
49:32You know them?
49:33We've dealt with them before.
49:34The money came through offshore funds fast, with none of the negotiation process you'd
49:39normally see with financing this size.
49:41So they had it ready?
49:42They're not here to save Chase.
49:44That's what I thought.
49:48Go ahead.
49:49Occidente has been hit.
49:51Two of our financing deals in Fogport City and Barron City were halted at the same time.
49:56Three partner banks in Orientilia have also suddenly reopened reviews of Everhart's credit.
50:00When?
50:01Right after Pembroke received the two billion.
50:04Have you traced the source?
50:06Part of it.
50:07Blackwood.
50:10What exactly are they trying to do?
50:12They're not saving Pembroke.
50:15They're hunting the entire Everhart.
50:21Port City, Barron City, Starport Port.
50:23They moved almost simultaneously.
50:25This wasn't improvised.
50:27They positioned their capital and accounts in advance.
50:29I've reviewed Blackwood Capital's fund flows over the past six months.
50:32They built positions through at least six offshore funds.
50:35So Pembroke is just the piece they're putting on the board for everyone to see.
50:38Chase keeps everyone's attention here while they hit Everhart in other markets.
50:42There's something else.
50:44Blackwood has barely gone up against Everhart directly over the years.
50:46But ten years ago they took a massive loss in Occidentia.
50:49Blackwood was preparing a seven billion dollar acquisition of Helios Industries.
50:52The deal fell through.
50:53Their financing was cut off and they ultimately lost more than four billion dollars.
50:56And they lost two billion dollars.
50:57Who did that?
51:01Evan at 25.
51:04You?
51:07That was a long time ago.
51:08You secured Helios' most critical debt first.
51:10Then cut off Blackwood's follow-up financing.
51:12And ultimately took the assets they wanted most right out for money.
51:14So Blackwood didn't suddenly target Pembroke on again?
51:17Of course not.
51:23The man who led Blackwood's deal back then is the man who truly controls Blackwood Capital today.
51:28Sebastian Blackwood.
51:30Ten years of silence.
51:31And now he's hitting Afiantia, Orientia, and the East Coast all at once.
51:36Looks like he never forgot.
51:40Then let him come.
51:45The two billion has arrived.
51:46Now can you tell me what you actually want me to do?
51:49Simple.
51:50Keep attacking Wexler.
51:51Keep forcing Evan to make a move.
51:54You spent two billion dollars just to watch him make a move?
51:57Two billion is only the price of admissions.
52:03If you've known Evan this whole time,
52:05why didn't you go after him before?
52:07Because Evan wasn't at the table back then.
52:11What does that mean?
52:13He was hiding in a repair shop.
52:15He'd walked away from the family and the capital markets.
52:18Destroying him then would have meant nothing.
52:20But now it's different.
52:22He's back at Everhurt, making multi-billion dollar deals again.
52:25So Sebastian wants revenge for what happened ten years ago?
52:28If this were only about revenge, two billion would be too expensive price to pay.
52:33Sebastian has been waiting for the day Evan sat back down at the game.
52:45The moment our two Occidentian financing lines recovered, they added to their short positions.
52:49It's like they knew our plan in advance.
52:50Same in Orientia.
52:52We had barely started moving funds when they began pressuring our partner banks within half an hour.
52:57Enough!
52:58Over the past 12 hours, we've changed our response plan four times.
53:02Every single time, Blackwood has responded almost immediately with a targeted counter.
53:05What are you saying?
53:07Someone is feeding them information.
53:09Impossible!
53:10Only the board and top management know these plans.
53:14That's exactly why it's a problem.
53:15From now on, stop sharing information on cross-regional fund movements.
53:18Oxydenia, Orienia and Borea will execute separate response plans.
53:21Board access permissions also need to be restricted and reassigned for the time being.
53:25You think there's a mole on the board?
53:26It's not a suspicion.
53:28There definitely is.
53:31What's happening?
53:34Sebastian Blackwood?
53:35Ten years, Evan.
53:38You've gotten old.
53:40You haven't changed at all.
53:42Ten years ago, you took my company from me.
53:45Ten years later, you were fixing cars.
53:47I started to think Eberhardt's most dangerous air had gone soft.
53:50So you gave Chase two billion dollars to save him?
53:53Chase?
53:54He's nothing more than a useful lap dog.
53:56The man I've been waiting ten years for has always been you.
54:00Well, now you've got me.
54:02I have.
54:04And this time, I won't stop at just one project.
54:09I want Eberhardt.
