FunTranscript
00:00:04On my first day at work, I became the target of work-based bullying.
00:00:17Nice aim, Katie. You're pretty good with those darts.
00:00:20Of course, I've been practicing.
00:00:25You're the new hire?
00:00:26Don't make such a fuss. This is our little welcome gift. You can take a joke, can't you?
00:00:37It's fine.
00:00:39What they didn't know was that I was Harrington Group's sole heir.
00:00:44I went undercover at this subsidiary to find out those who abused their positions and fire them all.
00:00:57Dad, this subsidiary's business has grown for three straight years, yet its books keep showing losses.
00:01:05The past two years have been especially bad, and turnover among new hires is abnormally high.
00:01:13Something is definitely wrong.
00:01:16Exactly.
00:01:17Now that you're back from studying abroad, this is your first assignment.
00:01:22Find out what's going on there.
00:01:26Ella, you've focused on technical research these past few years.
00:01:29But to run a company well, you also need management skills.
00:01:38The subsidiary's anniversary celebration is in a month.
00:01:42I'll expose everything there, and make my debut as Harrington Group's heir.
00:01:49Ella, be careful during the investigation.
00:01:59I found out Lisa is the technical director there.
00:02:04I'm the one who recommended her to Harrington Group.
00:02:07She was my best friend in college.
00:02:09She'll help me.
00:02:12I'll be at the anniversary celebration.
00:02:39It's been almost a month. No one even speaks to her.
00:02:43Why hasn't that new girl quit yet?
00:02:45Lisa will be back from her business trip soon.
00:02:47You'd better get rid of the new girl before she returns.
00:02:50Lisa left on a business trip the day before I started.
00:02:53She's finally coming back?
00:02:55They're so afraid of her.
00:02:57She must still be the kind, honest girl I remember.
00:03:04Were you eavesdropping?
00:03:06You were talking too loud. How is that my fault?
00:03:10You asked for this.
00:03:15What are you doing?
00:03:24Oh no, my cup!
00:03:28Katie, are you alright?
00:03:31Hey you, get out of the way.
00:03:34Oh!
00:03:43Aren't you afraid I'll report you both?
00:03:45The pantry camera's been broken for ages.
00:03:47You have no proof.
00:03:48I'll tell Lisa what you've done.
00:03:49Scum like you don't deserve to work at Harrington Group.
00:03:53Running to Lisa?
00:03:55You won't get a chance to see her.
00:03:57You'll be out of this company any minute now.
00:04:02Lisa's up!
00:04:04Lisa's, it's been a while.
00:04:05You look even prettier.
00:04:08Lisa!
00:04:08It's Ella! I'm in here!
00:04:11Damn it! Why is Lisa back early?
00:04:18Ella?
00:04:20What are you doing here?
00:04:28What did you do to Ella?
00:04:30Lisa, you know her?
00:04:31You were just joking around.
00:04:33Hey Lisa, she's just a new hire.
00:04:34No need to get so serious.
00:04:39Just a new hire?
00:04:41Ella helped me more times than I can count in college.
00:04:43She was my best friend.
00:04:53I'm watching my weight today.
00:04:54Lisa, please help me finish this sandwich.
00:05:04How does a broke loser like you deserve to go to our college?
00:05:14No! I can't swim!
00:05:18No! I can't swim!
00:05:31No!
00:05:31No!
00:05:36Lisa is my friend.
00:05:38I don't ever want to see this happen again.
00:05:45Please, give me a few more days.
00:05:48I'll pay back my father's gambling debts.
00:05:50I promise.
00:05:52That's what you said last time.
00:05:54You think we're joking?
00:05:55Looks like you need to be taught a lesson.
00:05:59Stop!
00:06:04I'll pay her debt.
00:06:07You too.
00:06:09Apologize to Ella.
00:06:10Lisa, forget about them for now.
00:06:11I have something very important to tell you.
00:06:13Lisa hasn't changed.
00:06:15She still remembers our college days.
00:06:17The evidence I found these past few weeks looks very bad for Lisa.
00:06:20But if someone forced her hand, I'll do everything I can to help her.
00:06:24None of that matters for now, Ella.
00:06:26Close your eyes.
00:06:28I have a little surprise for you.
00:06:29For our reunion.
00:06:31What surprise?
00:06:32Lisa, don't tell me you've been carrying a present around all this time.
00:06:51Ella, do you like my surprise?
00:06:52Ella, do you like my surprise?
00:07:06What are you doing, Lisa?
00:07:08Aren't we best friends?
00:07:10Best friends?
00:07:12Back in college, I had nothing.
00:07:15You handed me food like I was a beggar, feeding your own insufferable moral superiority.
00:07:23You humiliated me.
00:07:25Lisa, look at her.
00:07:27What a clown.
00:07:28Now I'm an executive at Harrington Group, and you're a new hire who hasn't even passed probation.
00:07:35It's your turn to find out what humiliation feels like.
00:07:40She humiliated Lisa back then, and now she wants to ride her coach hails?
00:07:44Kick her out!
00:07:46Lisa, I never meant to humiliate you.
00:07:48You were always my best friend.
00:07:50Enough!
00:07:50Drop the act.
00:07:52Someone as vile as you doesn't deserve to stay here.
00:07:55Do yourself a favor and leave.
00:07:56This isn't the kind, honest Lisa I knew.
00:07:59Greed has twisted her.
00:08:01I haven't done anything wrong during probation.
00:08:04Under company policy, I have every right to stay.
00:08:07Fine.
00:08:08You'll pay for that decision.
00:08:11Lisa Madison.
00:08:12Inflated project expenses, 1.03 million.
00:08:16Kickbacks, 570,000.
00:08:18Fraudorious travel allowances, 2 in 30,000.
00:08:21Those so-called business trips were vacations on the company's dime.
00:08:25Out of 365 days a year, she spends 200 away from the office.
00:08:34Lisa, are you alright?
00:08:36Ella, you saved me again.
00:08:37I've caused you so much trouble.
00:08:39How can you say that?
00:08:40We're best friends.
00:08:42Promise me we'll be best friends forever.
00:08:44Please?
00:08:46Of course.
00:08:47As long as you stay the person you are, we'll always be best friends.
00:08:52Best friends.
00:08:53Not anymore.
00:09:00Listen up.
00:09:01I want Ella Harrington out of here within a week.
00:09:09After that day, the bullying only got worse.
00:09:12Hey you.
00:09:14Lisa doesn't want to see your face every time she leaves her office.
00:09:18You're moving to another desk.
00:09:21We already moved your things to the one by the restroom.
00:09:27Your expense claim is still formatted wrong.
00:09:29Take it back and fix it.
00:09:34This meeting started an hour ago.
00:09:36You're only getting here now?
00:09:38James told me it starts at 4.
00:09:40I clearly said 3.
00:09:41Everyone else heard me.
00:09:42That's right.
00:09:43James said 3.
00:09:46Really?
00:09:47I recorded it.
00:09:49No excuses.
00:09:50You were late.
00:09:51Get out.
00:09:54She still hasn't quit.
00:09:55I'm almost impressed.
00:09:56Some people just have no shame.
00:09:58The rest of us can't compete.
00:10:01Two days until the company's anniversary celebration.
00:10:04The general manager loved my latest technical proposal.
00:10:07To celebrate, I'm throwing a party at my villa.
00:10:09Let's head over now.
00:10:10She only got back from her vacation two days ago.
00:10:12When did she write a technical proposal?
00:10:14Lisa, you're incredible.
00:10:15I can't imagine how this company would function without you.
00:10:20Oh, and certain anti-social people can stay behind.
00:10:23Don't spoil the mood.
00:10:28Exactly.
00:10:29That miserable face would put me right off my drink.
00:10:35Since you're not coming to the party, you can handle all these files.
00:10:54She didn't even change the name before passing my proposal off as her own.
00:11:05Ella Harrington, you reported me to the general manager?
00:11:08I'm just wondering how the technical report I wrote ended up with your name on it.
00:11:14The general manager wants you in his office.
00:11:29Ella Harrington, you say you wrote the report Lisa submitted.
00:11:33What proof do you have?
00:11:35The draft files and revision history are all saved on my computer.
00:11:39And she didn't even remove my name from the report.
00:11:46You heard her.
00:11:47Could you be a little more careful next time?
00:11:54Sorry, darling.
00:11:55I will.
00:11:57Harrington Group strictly prohibits relationships between managers and their subordinates.
00:12:00You're violating company policy.
00:12:02What's that got to do with a loser who's about to be fired?
00:12:05She stole my work, and I'm the one getting fired?
00:12:08As a member of the technical department, your work depends on its resources and, above
00:12:13all, Lisa's support as your supervisor.
00:12:15Going over her head shows you can't see the bigger picture.
00:12:18Your values don't align with your job.
00:12:19You don't belong here.
00:12:24Delete your evidence and resign voluntarily.
00:12:26Do that, and the company will give you some compensation.
00:12:29I will leave.
00:12:31But not today.
00:12:32Not until I've dealt with every last parasite here.
00:12:36You think I don't know what you're planning?
00:12:38Taking your evidence to headquarters?
00:12:40You wish.
00:12:47Lisa, we searched her desk.
00:12:49There's no other evidence.
00:12:50All the files must be on her phone and computer.
00:12:54What are you gonna do?
00:13:01Let go! Let go! Let me go!
00:13:16Let go of me! This is a crime!
00:13:23Go on, call the police.
00:13:24Mark is good friends with the local police chief.
00:13:27Who knows which one of us they'll arrest?
00:13:29You scum!
00:13:30The chairman won't let you get away with this!
00:13:34Ella, you still haven't faced reality.
00:13:40Without evidence, how can you take on Lisa?
00:13:43Why would the chairman believe you?
00:13:47Really?
00:13:48Let's see who he believes when I stand in front of him.
00:13:52You don't think sharing the name Harrington makes you related to the chairman, do you?
00:13:56The chairman would believe an intern over Lisa?
00:13:58Keep dreaming.
00:14:00Delusional idiot.
00:14:02Throw her out.
00:14:07You said there was only one copy of the evidence.
00:14:18Sir, everything is ready.
00:14:20Good. Let's go.
00:14:22Rogers is near Ella's office.
00:14:23Have him accompany her.
00:14:31Three years of bleeding this company dry.
00:14:33One month of bullying.
00:14:35Every one of you will pay for what you've done.
00:14:40Lisa, I heard your report made it to headquarters.
00:14:43Quite a few senior executives think it's brilliant.
00:14:45Maybe they're already planning to transfer you to headquarters.
00:14:48Then I may have to turn down the chairman's kind offer.
00:14:51I love it here.
00:14:53I couldn't bear to leave any of you.
00:14:56Lisa, you're such a loyal friend.
00:15:03Is it loyalty or is it because you stole that report and can't deliver the technology in it?
00:15:12You've been fired.
00:15:14How dare you show your face here?
00:15:16I'm afraid you don't have the authority to fire me.
00:15:19And one more thing.
00:15:20Today, every one of you is getting fired.
00:15:24Fire us?
00:15:25Ella, you think you get to write the layoff list?
00:15:28Maybe her little list even records how many times a day we badmouth her.
00:15:33Why are you still arguing?
00:15:34The chairman's assistant, Mr. Rogers, just messaged me.
00:15:39The special investigation team leader is attending our celebration today.
00:15:45What are you doing here?
00:15:46She just said we're all getting fired today.
00:15:51I don't know how you heard about the investigation team, but if you think you can make trouble for us
00:15:55in front of them, you're dreaming.
00:15:59You too.
00:16:01Throw her out.
00:16:04Get your hands off me!
00:16:05You'll regret this!
00:16:07You're the one who'll regret it.
00:16:09You'll never set foot in this company again.
00:16:14Give it up. Nothing you do will help.
00:16:18To us, you're just a pathetic clown.
00:16:27Miss Harrington, are you alright?
00:16:31Rogers?
00:16:33What are you doing here?
00:16:38I told you to keep a low profile, but you wouldn't listen.
00:16:41Now the investigation team's here.
00:16:43If they uncover anything, we're all in trouble.
00:16:46Relax. Nothing will happen.
00:16:49As long as we stick together, they won't find a thing.
00:16:52What are they gonna do? Fire all of us?
00:16:54Don't worry, Lisa. I'd never betray any of you.
00:16:57Exactly. Neither would I.
00:16:59Exactly!
00:17:00Easy for you to say.
00:17:02That Ella Harrington? I only just heard about the investigation.
00:17:05Today, everyone is getting fired.
00:17:07But she seemed to know before I did.
00:17:09Could the investigation team have sent her?
00:17:11Impossible. A troublemaker like her would get fired anywhere.
00:17:15There's no way she's with the investigation team.
00:17:17Exactly, Mark. She's just a reckless idiot.
00:17:20If she's on the investigation team, I'll eat my phone right in front of everyone.
00:17:28What? Mr. Rougers, you're coming with the team leader?
00:17:31Oh, you're almost here. We'll come out to welcome you right away.
00:17:35Everyone, come to the elevators with me to welcome Mr. Rougers and the investigation team leader.
00:17:40Put on your biggest smile.
00:17:42Consider yours warm. Mr. Rougers is the chairman's most trusted man.
00:17:46Offend him, and your days at Harrington Group are over.
00:18:01Mr. Rougers, on behalf of everyone at this subsidiary, I'd like to warmly welcome...
00:18:14This is Ella Harrington, head of the special investigation team.
00:18:24She's the head of the investigation team. We're finished.
00:18:29Didn't you just say it couldn't be her?
00:18:31She has no evidence. Even if she heads the investigation, she can't fire us for no reason.
00:18:37Hello again, everyone. Someone just told me I'd never set foot in this company again. Sorry to disappoint.
00:18:42Someone actually said that?
00:18:43Mr. Rogers, Ms. Harrington, there may have been some misunderstandings between us lately.
00:18:46If you'd told us who you were from the start, none of this would have happened.
00:18:50Misunderstandings? So if I really were a new hire, I'd deserve the bullying I've endured this past month?
00:18:55What bullying?
00:18:56There's no bullying at this company.
00:18:58Ella, just because you're oversensitive doesn't mean you can call a harmless joke bullying.
00:19:02Who gave you the right to speak to Ms. Harrington like that? Hold your tongue!
00:19:05Is that what those girls said when they pushed you into the pool back in college?
00:19:09I'm Ella Harrington, head of Harrington Group Special Task Force.
00:19:13A month ago, I joined this secretary as a new hire to begin my investigation.
00:19:17On my first day, someone threw a dart at a water ball above my head.
00:19:21Over the following month, I was isolated and abused, physically and psychologically.
00:19:26My desk was moved next to the restroom. My work was stolen.
00:19:30They even restrained me and destroyed my personal belongings to stop me from reporting them to headquarters.
00:19:35Then they had me fired without following company procedure.
00:19:39But I didn't come here to get fired.
00:19:41I am here to fire the parasite sabotaging this company and poisoning its workplace.
00:19:49Ms. Harrington, the chairman is stuck in traffic. He's asked me to clear the way.
00:19:54Alright, go ahead.
00:20:00Ms. Harrington, surely things aren't that serious, right?
00:20:03Our employees may have a slight attitude problem with new hires, but they're excellent at their jobs.
00:20:08Our business has grown for three straight years, outperforming most of the group's subsidiaries.
00:20:13Exactly. We're the reason for those three years of growth.
00:20:17Ms. Harrington, you wouldn't fire people who've contributed so much just because of a personal grudge, would you?
00:20:23Show some respect, Lisa.
00:20:25Ms. Harrington heads the task force sent by headquarters. You should trust her professionalism.
00:20:30So, General Manager, if I fire Lisa and the others, that makes me unprofessional and guilty of abusing my power
00:20:35for revenge?
00:20:37If that's how you choose to take it, Ms. Harrington, I can't help you.
00:20:41I'm on very good terms with several board members at headquarters.
00:20:44If your decisions are unfair, don't blame me for bringing your conduct to their attention.
00:20:49The subsidiary's growth is thanks to all its employees. I think you make an excellent point.
00:20:54Then if business keeps growing, but the books keep showing losses, that's your responsibility too, isn't it?
00:21:01Technical Director, Lisa Madison. Inflated project expenses, 1.03 million. Kickbacks, 570,000. Frauduals travel allowances, 230,000. Bullying new
00:21:12hires with her subordinates, stealing others' work, obstructing the special task force investigation, destroying evidence.
00:21:18You have no proof! This is slander!
00:21:20Your bank statements, copies of invoices, records of actual project expenses, and your Twitter and Facebook posts from tourist destinations
00:21:27while you claim to be on business trips somewhere else. It's all here.
00:21:31Lisa, I prepared this gift to thank you for your little surprise. Do you like it?
00:21:38This is outrageous, Lisa. You've done so much to hurt this company. I had no idea you were this kind
00:21:45of person.
00:21:46Ms. Harrington, no wonder headquarters put you in charge. Nothing gets past you. In just one month, you've exposed a
00:21:52huge parasite in our company.
00:21:55General Manager Mark Schmidt. Inflated purchasing costs and kickbacks, 3.52 million. Fictionous expenses, 1.41 million.
00:22:02Misappropriated company funds, 40,000. Openly dating a subordinate in violation of company policy.
00:22:07Katie Evans. Fraudulary reimbursements, 120,000. Falsified travel allowances, 50,000.
00:22:17James Witten. Fraudulary reimbursements, 100,000. Kickbacks, 30,000.
00:22:23Bullshit! I never did any of that!
00:22:26The evidence is right here. If you disagree, show me proof that I'm lying.
00:22:31Fuck. Look how many files she's still holding. Is she trying to fire everyone here?
00:22:36Ella Harrington, how many people are on your layoff list? Are you planning to fire this entire subsidiary?
00:22:44These dismissals apply only to employees guilty of serious violations that harmed the company.
00:22:48Anyone who hasn't committed those acts will be unaffected.
00:22:51As for those on the list, you will no longer be Harrington Group employees as of tomorrow.
00:22:55Headquarters legal department will pursue action over your misconduct.
00:22:58I won't let you destroy everything I've worked so hard to get!
00:23:02Sir, the road ahead is clear.
00:23:05Hurry!
00:23:09The celebration was already started 10 minutes ago.
00:23:22Everyone, do you actually believe her?
00:23:25She's been here a month.
00:23:27Which of you hasn't taken part in bullying her?
00:23:31I never bullied her.
00:23:35When the others were bullying her, did you laugh along or step in to help?
00:23:41Shit.
00:23:43She put me on the layoff list too.
00:23:47To her, every one of you may be an accomplice.
00:23:52Do you really believe she'll be fair and only fire employees guilty of serious misconduct?
00:23:57Think about your mortgages, car payments, and credit cards.
00:24:02If you lose your job, can you pay next month's bills?
00:24:09Don't project your own motives onto me.
00:24:15These dismissals are based on evidence of your violations, not on my personal feelings.
00:24:20Huh, you expect us to buy that crap?
00:24:24Maybe headquarters only sent you to investigate.
00:24:26Maybe these layoffs were never authorized.
00:24:29You're using what happened to you as an excuse to fire everyone out of spite.
00:24:34Exactly.
00:24:35Ella Harrington, you're trying to ruin this company.
00:24:38Does headquarters know about the havoc you're wreaking here?
00:24:41That's right, she's out of control.
00:24:43Yes, sir.
00:24:46Why would headquarters put such an obvious amateur in charge of the task force?
00:24:51It's the season.
00:24:53It's the season.
00:24:57Quiet, everyone.
00:24:59Katie Evans, the chairman is attending today's event too.
00:25:04Rogers just went to help him through the traffic.
00:25:06Why don't you ask him that question yourself when he arrives?
00:25:12What?
00:25:13The chairman is coming to our anniversary celebration?
00:25:16Everything I've done has been authorized and approved by the chairman.
00:25:21This is not a personal vendetta.
00:25:23Are you really going to let a few people stir you up into disrupting this company?
00:25:28You weren't on the layoff list.
00:25:30Do you want to get yourselves fired too?
00:25:35Don't listen to her!
00:25:37Harrington Group has subsidiaries all over the world.
00:25:40The chairman is incredibly busy.
00:25:43Why would he come here over something this trivial?
00:25:47Really?
00:25:48Do you trust the task force leaders sent by headquarters?
00:25:51Or Lisa, a subsidiary technical director who's about to be fired?
00:25:56One of Ella Harrington's reasons for firing me is inflated project expenses.
00:26:01Every one of us got a share of that money.
00:26:04You don't seriously think you're innocent, do you?
00:26:06If I get fired, all of you get fired too.
00:26:12She wants to fire us all!
00:26:14Are you going to stand for that?
00:26:16Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
00:26:19Our headquarters never sent a special task force at all.
00:26:22Ella Harrington was isolated and rejected here, so she hired a hacker to send us those task force messages.
00:26:29This whole thing is a stunt to get back at us.
00:26:33Exactly! She's an imposter!
00:26:35I'm an imposter?
00:26:37Mark, Rogers walked in with me.
00:26:40They might not recognize him, but don't you?
00:26:45Mark, remember? Your name is on that list too.
00:26:49That's right. She's a fraud.
00:26:52Bribed Rogers?
00:26:55Maybe she bribed Rogers to put on this little show with him.
00:27:02Mark, you're only making things worse for yourself.
00:27:06Headquarters won't let you get away with this.
00:27:10You're a fraud, and you still have the nerve to act superior?
00:27:16If your title is fake, then obviously your evidence is fake too.
00:27:22Believe me or not, the chairman will be here any minute.
00:27:26Then the truth will come out.
00:27:28I suggest you don't do anything rash.
00:27:35Hey, she even brought a gun!
00:27:38Maybe if she couldn't fool us, she was going to shoot everyone who bullied her.
00:27:43What are you talking about? I always carry a gun.
00:27:46Give it back.
00:27:49Oh, who knows what you're really thinking?
00:27:54Lisa, we destroyed her computer and phone yesterday.
00:27:58But she's brought all this today. She must have backups.
00:28:01Even if it's fake, it'll cause us plenty of trouble if Headquarters sees it.
00:28:05We can't let her off so easily this time.
00:28:09What are you suggesting?
00:28:11She might have the backup hidden on her.
00:28:13Even if we can't find it, we'll take nude photos of her.
00:28:16Let's see her report us then.
00:28:18Stop!
00:28:19I'm Charles Harrington's daughter.
00:28:22Harrington Group's sole heir.
00:28:24If you do this, Harrington Group will stop at nothing to make you pay.
00:28:35If you're Harrington Group's Iris, then I'm the president's daughter.
00:28:40Search her.
00:28:55Lisa, aren't we taking this too far?
00:28:57Fine. Let her go then.
00:28:59Let her fire all of us.
00:29:01And when we can't pay our bills, we'll end up on the streets.
00:29:04What's there to be afraid of?
00:29:05Without evidence, she's nothing.
00:29:07Even if Headquarters sends someone else, we'll all share this secret.
00:29:11If we stick together, what's any investigation team going to do?
00:29:15You. Go first.
00:29:17Search her.
00:29:19One at a time. Everyone takes part.
00:29:22Anyone who doesn't is a traitor.
00:29:27Don't listen to Lisa.
00:29:28She's trying to drag all of you down with her.
00:29:31I'm video calling the chairman right now.
00:29:33He'll prove who I am.
00:29:43Ella's calling to hurry me along.
00:29:44If not for that traffic, I'd have been here ages ago.
00:29:47Let's pick up the pace.
00:29:48Weren't you going to prove who you are?
00:29:50Why isn't he answering?
00:29:52Katie, don't you get it?
00:29:53If he answered, her cover would be blown.
00:29:56Let me guess, the chairman's busy right now?
00:29:58Or his phone died?
00:30:06Dad, you really think you're some rich iris?
00:30:09Don't tell me you still believe she's an iris.
00:30:11Get over there and strip her.
00:30:17Let me go!
00:30:19You'll regret this!
00:30:27A flash drive?
00:30:28So you do have a backup?
00:30:32Look, Dad.
00:30:33This is the solid-state battery technology my lab spent four years developing under my leadership.
00:30:38Its energy density is five times that of today's liquid electrolyte batteries.
00:30:42It can charge to 90% in just three minutes.
00:30:44Its lifespan and operating temperature range are far superior, too.
00:30:47So, Ella, once this battery hits the market, no one in the world will be able to compete with Harrington
00:30:51Group?
00:30:54Exactly.
00:30:55We just need to resolve one small issue and it can go into production.
00:31:00Give me back my flash drive!
00:31:15You're so worried about this drive.
00:31:17Now I have to see what's on it.
00:31:23Solid-state batteries?
00:31:24Why is it all data and formulas?
00:31:28Lisa Madison, unless you want to spend the rest of your life in prison, give me that drive right now.
00:31:35Still keeping up the act?
00:31:37Ella Harrington, when will you realize I'm no longer some pathetic charity case who has to obey you?
00:31:43Your life is in my hands now.
00:31:45The only person who ever thought you were pathetic was you.
00:31:49Stop!
00:31:58Ella, sweetheart, are you alright?
00:32:06Dad.
00:32:09Ella!
00:32:10Ella!
00:32:13Get the medical helicopter here immediately.
00:32:15Tell the specialist to be ready at the hospital.
00:32:18What?
00:32:20Ella really is the chairman's daughter?
00:32:25This can't be happening!
00:32:27How can that bitch really be Harrington Group's iris?!
00:32:31I want every single person in this room to pay dearly for this.
00:32:44Ella, how are you feeling?
00:32:46Don't worry, Dad. I'm fine.
00:32:50It's my fault.
00:32:51I got stuck in traffic. If I'd arrived sooner, none of this would have happened.
00:32:54Dad, this isn't your fault. I never imagined they could be so vicious.
00:32:57I had them all taken into police custody.
00:33:00Once they're in prison, I won't spare a single one.
00:33:04About your solid-state battery technology, Ella.
00:33:06Field Group, the leading global automaker, is very interesting.
00:33:09They want to place a $2 billion order, and they're eager to move fast.
00:33:13Have you resolved that little issue you mentioned?
00:33:16Dad, Lisa and the others stole the flash drive with the solid-state battery technology.
00:33:22What?
00:33:25I'm finished. My whole life is over.
00:33:30If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have crossed Ella or ended up here!
00:33:35You're the ones who are finished.
00:33:37I'm not going to prison.
00:33:38You crossed Harrington Group, and you think you're getting out?
00:33:42What a laugh.
00:33:45Lisa Madison, you've been granted bail.
00:34:09Listen, Mark, I know you have contacts among Sterling Group's executives.
00:34:12Get in touch with them.
00:34:13Tell them we have the latest solid-state battery technology.
00:34:17I'll have someone retrieve that drive right now.
00:34:21What?
00:34:22Sterling Group bailed them out?
00:34:25Sterling Group?
00:34:26Our biggest rival?
00:34:31Don't worry, Dad.
00:34:33The files in that drive are flawed.
00:34:35The batteries built from them will work at first,
00:34:38but once the charge drops, they could go into thermal ralat and release hydrogen sulfide.
00:34:42Anyone nearby could be poisoned or lose consciousness.
00:34:45So Sterling Group thinks they've stumbled onto a windfall, but what they really have is a trap.
00:34:50Exactly.
00:34:51And I've already figured out how to solve the problem.
00:34:53I just haven't had time to implement it yet.
00:34:57My time is extremely valuable.
00:35:00You'd better actually have the latest solid-state battery technology.
00:35:03Otherwise, you don't want to know what happens to you.
00:35:06Mr. Sterling, you won't regret this.
00:35:12Ella Harrington and I were best friends in college.
00:35:15When I developed the solid-state battery technology, she was the first person I told.
00:35:19But then she threatened me and made me hand it over.
00:35:21When I refused, she tried to fire me and fabricated charges to send me to prison.
00:35:26Is that so?
00:35:32Listen, we have to tell Sterling's people that we developed this technology.
00:35:36Otherwise, they'll toss us aside as soon as they have it.
00:35:38I know. That's right.
00:35:40Ella Harrington had everyone at our subsidiary detained to stop us from telling the truth.
00:35:47Sir, our technical experts say the files on the flash drive look very promising.
00:35:51I've also learned that Field Group is considering a major partnership with Harrington Group with a $2 billion contract.
00:35:58Their reception is in a week.
00:35:59You two are a gift from God.
00:36:01From today on, you're part of Sterling Group.
00:36:03You'll receive the best compensation we can offer.
00:36:06In a week, you're coming with me to Harrington Group's reception.
00:36:10I'm going to show Field Group who Ella Harrington really is.
00:36:23Charles, could you introduce me to the expert who developed the solid-state battery?
00:36:28Our technical team admires him enormously.
00:36:30They say whoever developed it is a true genius.
00:36:34Of course, the expert will be here any moment.
00:36:43William, this is my daughter Ella.
00:36:45She's also the developer of the solid-state battery technology.
00:36:48Ella, this is the chairman of Field Group.
00:36:49I never imagined its developer would be so young.
00:36:52Your daughter is a genius.
00:36:53With an heir like her, Harrington Group's future looks very bright.
00:36:56You're too kind, Mr. Field.
00:36:57Developing this technology was a team effort by our entire lab.
00:37:00No need to be so modest, Ella.
00:37:02You lead the lab and did most of the research.
00:37:04Mr. Field is right.
00:37:05Ella isn't just a brilliant researcher.
00:37:07She's taken to management remarkably quickly.
00:37:09In one month, she rooted out every corrupt employee at a subsidiary that had been losing money for years and
00:37:13completed its structuring.
00:37:15Every member of the board has praised her abilities.
00:37:19Dad, you're giving me too much credit.
00:37:22There were many things I failed to consider when handling that subsidiary.
00:37:26Ella, no one could have anticipated what they did.
00:37:28It wasn't your fault.
00:37:30That Lisa Madison who betrayed you, I'll make her pay.
00:37:34Betrayed her?
00:37:36The truth is, your daughter stole Lisa Madison's technology.
00:37:46Marcus, I don't recall sending you an invitation.
00:37:50Charles, we've been friends for decades.
00:37:53Of course I'd come to support you.
00:37:55But there's another, more important reason I'm here.
00:37:59To stop you from deceiving Mr. Field.
00:38:05Mr. Field.
00:38:06This is Lisa Madison.
00:38:08The true developer of the solid state battery technology.
00:38:12Didn't Charles say his daughter developed it?
00:38:15Where did this other developer come from?
00:38:18If Marcus is saying that, he must have proof.
00:38:23Ella, we were best friends once.
00:38:26But that doesn't give you the right to steal the technology.
00:38:31I poured my heart into just to burnish your reputation as a rich iris.
00:38:37And I won't stand by while you use my technology to deceive others.
00:38:43Lisa, aren't you ashamed to say that?
00:38:46You're the thief.
00:38:48You're the one who should be ashamed.
00:38:51Charles, you've gone senile.
00:38:56Persecuting the real developer just to build up your useless daughter's reputation?
00:39:02But thanks to you, Sterling Group now has a brilliant talent like Lisa.
00:39:08And her solid state battery technology.
00:39:12Which of you actually developed this technology?
00:39:17William, don't believe their lies.
00:39:20Lisa Madison is a criminal.
00:39:24We turned her over to the police for assault, embezzlement and commercial bribery.
00:39:29Marcus bailed her out to sabotage our partnership.
00:39:33Really?
00:39:34As far as I know, your batteries are still being tested.
00:39:38Under Lisa's direction, ours are already in full scale production.
00:39:50See?
00:39:51These are the records of our solid state battery production.
00:39:54Mr. Field, you're welcome to take a look.
00:39:57He's brought the documents.
00:39:58It doesn't look like he's bluffing.
00:40:00Both Charles and Marcus claim their company developed it,
00:40:02but Marcus is already mass producing it while Charles is still testing.
00:40:06Marcus's story sounds more convincing.
00:40:08Marcus, are you insane?
00:40:09You've had those files for a week at most, and you're already mass producing?
00:40:14Aren't you worried something will go wrong?
00:40:18With Lisa, the actual developer, overseeing everything, what could go wrong?
00:40:23Why haven't you started production yet?
00:40:25Can't you even understand the files you stole?
00:40:29We haven't started mass production because the original technology had a flaw.
00:40:33Now that it's fixed, we still need time to test it.
00:40:37Lisa, I strongly suggest you stop now.
00:40:41The files on that drive are the flawed version.
00:40:43The batteries you're producing have a serious defect.
00:40:45It may not be obvious yet, but once they're in use, they could endanger people's lives.
00:40:52Lisa, what's she saying?
00:40:54Shut up!
00:41:01Ella, you're no good at research, but you tell a convincing lie.
00:41:05Unfortunately for you, facts don't lie.
00:41:11And the fact is, we've produced solid-state batteries.
00:41:14You haven't!
00:41:21I don't see any problems in these documents.
00:41:24William, your company needs a partner who can actually produce solid-state batteries.
00:41:29Shouldn't that $2 billion contract go to us?
00:41:32Well...
00:41:32Sign with us, and we'll beat the price in your contract with Charles by 10%.
00:41:36If we fail to fulfill the contract, we'll pay you $10 billion in damages.
00:41:40Marcus, you shameless bastard!
00:41:49William, our price is already as low as we can go without compromising quality.
00:41:54At Marcus's price, all you'll get is junk.
00:41:56And that's before you consider the inherent risks in the technology they stole.
00:42:01But Charles, his quote is 10% lower.
00:42:04Match it, and we'd still prefer to work with Harrington Gruden.
00:42:12I didn't want to do this.
00:42:17That's Mr. Holm, head of StarCoin Labs, the world's leading and most secretive energy research laboratory.
00:42:24How do you know Mr. Holm, ma'am?
00:42:26Mr. Holm once invited me to join StarCoin Labs.
00:42:31But I was deeply attached to Harrington Group, so I turned him down.
00:42:35I never imagined Harrington Group would betray me.
00:42:42Ma'am, I believe you are the true developer of this technology.
00:42:47Mr. Sterling, could we find somewhere to discuss the contract in detail?
00:42:50Of course, Mr. Field. Come with me.
00:42:56Ella, I liked you better lying on the floor covered in blood.
00:43:06Charles went to all this trouble hosting a reception only to bring Sterling Group and Field Group together.
00:43:12That's what happens when the technology isn't even theirs.
00:43:15Ella Harrington looks so polished, but she's just a shameless thief.
00:43:23Ella, why wouldn't you let me tell them that you and Holm have been friends for years?
00:43:29And that you're StarCoin Labs chief researcher?
00:43:31Don't you see, Dad?
00:43:33William Field doesn't care who owns the technology.
00:43:35He's using your rivalry with Marcus to drive down the price.
00:43:38He'll choose whoever charges less.
00:43:41I know.
00:43:42But if we lose Field Group, we may not get another opportunity like this.
00:43:45No, Dad. We won't lose this opportunity.
00:43:48Remember, Marcus has the flawed technology.
00:43:51Once Field Group starts using his batteries and the crisis hits,
00:43:54they'll soon realize who really owns this technology.
00:43:57Then we won't be cutting prices to win their business.
00:44:00They'll be begging us to save them.
00:44:05We've just signed a $2 billion contract with Field Group.
00:44:09Let's hear it for the person who made it all possible.
00:44:12Lisa Madison!
00:44:24Keep partying.
00:44:25Lisa and I need a word.
00:44:32Lisa, Ella said the technology on the drive is flawed.
00:44:34Do you think she was telling the truth?
00:44:36She's obviously trying to scare us.
00:44:38Only an idiot would believe her.
00:44:44If we let her scare us, she wins.
00:44:47Mark, think about it.
00:44:49I'm now Sterling Group's CTO and you're the vice president of technology.
00:44:52We're earning seven figures a year and we just landed a $2 billion contract.
00:44:55We've made it.
00:44:56As for Ella, she's a fool who couldn't even protect her own technology.
00:45:00Being our stepping stone is the most she'll ever amount to.
00:45:09That smog bastard Marcus held a press conference today.
00:45:12He named Lisa Madison Sterling Group's CTO and said he'd have us blacklisted across the energy industry for our mistreatment
00:45:17of her.
00:45:17Don't get upset, Dad.
00:45:21He also said he'd halt every other project and put everything into delivering the first batch of solid state batteries
00:45:26to Field Group within a month.
00:45:28The day those batteries ship is the day Sterling Group goes down.
00:45:32But I can't stand the thought of that vicious woman living it up off your hard work.
00:45:36Not for one more day.
00:45:39Dad, Lisa stole my files, not my abilities.
00:45:43I doubt things are going that well for her right now.
00:45:54Miss Madison, I don't understand some things in the documentation. Could you explain them?
00:46:00If you can't even understand the documents, I seriously question your competence.
00:46:05Miss Madison, our production yield is only 40% so far. Could you take a look at what's going wrong?
00:46:11Are you following my specifications exactly?
00:46:15Well, it's impossible to match them exactly in actual production.
00:46:18Follow my specifications!
00:46:20Miss Madison, our production equipment isn't identical to what's in your files.
00:46:24How are we supposed to follow them exactly?
00:46:32Lisa, I need to speak to you urgently.
00:46:36Let's talk in my office.
00:46:40Is she really the genius who develops solid-state batterings?
00:46:42She seems like she doesn't know the first thing about it.
00:46:50Useless idiots. Can't they solve their own problems? All they do is ask me.
00:46:53Lisa, if you keep failing to answer their questions, we'll get exposed sooner or later.
00:46:57I don't even understand their questions. What am I supposed to do?
00:47:02Lisa, I hear our biggest production problem is that your specifications don't quite match our equipment?
00:47:07Y-yes, I'm working on a solution.
00:47:09Good. You're the genius who created this technology.
00:47:12I'm sure you can solve such a simple problem in three days, right?
00:47:15No problem.
00:47:17Are you crazy? We couldn't solve this in 30 days!
00:47:21You think I had a choice?
00:47:23That old bastard Marcus is already suspicious.
00:47:26How do you think he'd react if I told him we couldn't solve it?
00:47:29I heard Sterling Group has close ties to the New York mob.
00:47:34The last person who swindled them was cut into pieces and dumped in the ocean.
00:47:41Don't you know Mr. Holm at Star Creed Labs?
00:47:45Ask him. He can definitely help you solve this.
00:47:48You actually believe that?
00:47:50I just happened to meet him on vacation.
00:47:52We took a photo and exchanged contact details. That's all.
00:47:57We're finished.
00:47:58We'll have Harrington Group and Sterling Group coming after us.
00:48:01Maybe Field Group too.
00:48:03We'd have been better off staying in that cell.
00:48:05Shut up!
00:48:06There's no other way.
00:48:22He agreed!
00:48:23Mr. Holm says he's in New York and can answer my questions in person.
00:48:35Quiet everyone. You were all talking at once earlier. I couldn't hear your questions.
00:48:39Compile them and send them to me. I'll have answers for you tomorrow.
00:48:42Keep working. I'm meeting Mr. Holm for a meal so I'm leaving now.
00:48:47Mr. Holm? The Mr. Holm? She knows someone that important? Maybe we misjudged her.
00:48:56Ella, this is incredible. How did you know someone would ask me about solid state battery technology?
00:49:05It's been a while, Mr. Holm. Thank you for making time to see me.
00:49:14The food here pairs beautifully with a Bordeaux, Mr. Holm. You should try it.
00:49:19No, thank you. I'm not here to eat.
00:49:22Oh, I understand.
00:49:25Mr. Holm, you can do anything you want to me.
00:49:28I've already booked a room at the nearest hotel.
00:49:32Good God, what are you doing?
00:49:34I thought I was meeting someone who took research seriously.
00:49:37Instead, you're utterly shameless. You're wasting my time.
00:49:41Mr. Holm, I apologize for my disgusting assumption.
00:49:45I just never imagined you could be so selfless and generous.
00:49:50Please, you're my last hope. Without your answers, I'm a dead woman.
00:49:56Here's what you wanted. Never tell anyone you know me again.
00:50:11Home. Long time no see.
00:50:17It's been a while, Ella.
00:50:25I still don't understand.
00:50:27You had me come all the way to New York just to pass these files on for you?
00:50:30Is it because she used to be your best friend?
00:50:32Ella, I heard what happened.
00:50:35She's no longer the person you knew.
00:50:37She's a venomous snake.
00:50:38You can't go soft on someone like that.
00:50:48Lisa, what do you want to do in the future?
00:50:53I'm not sure yet.
00:50:54But I hope I never become the kind of person I despise.
00:50:58Someone who sells their soul for money.
00:51:02I know, Holm.
00:51:03I didn't have you give her those files out of sentiment.
00:51:06It's the only way Sterling Group can keep its solid-state battery production on track.
00:51:11The more they invest, the harder they'll fall when things go wrong.
00:51:14And the easier it'll be for Harrington Group to take them over.
00:51:18Now I see.
00:51:19Ella, you're not just a brilliant researcher.
00:51:22You've become a shrewd business strategist, too.
00:51:25Harrington Group will thrive in your hands.
00:51:27I still have a long way to go.
00:51:30Marcus, I didn't need three days.
00:51:32I solved your problem today.
00:51:35I hate being rushed.
00:51:36Don't let it happen again.
00:51:39Of course.
00:51:40I'll triple your salary.
00:51:42As long as we fulfill the order, anything you want.
00:51:44Invite Ella Harrington to the delivery launch.
00:51:48I want her to witness the beginning of Harrington Group's downfall.
00:51:56That concludes our overview of the battery's performance.
00:52:00Please turn to the screen.
00:52:01Field Group's latest electric car, equipped with our solid-state battery, will demonstrate its performance in a global livestream.
00:52:09Stay tuned.
00:52:13Lisa, rescuing you from Harrington Group was the best decision I've ever made.
00:52:18Charles must be senile to have let someone like you go.
00:52:21A brilliant researcher like you will surely make many more breakthroughs, Miss Madison.
00:52:26I hope we'll have more opportunities to work together.
00:52:30Thank you for your support, Mr. Field.
00:52:35Let me make this clear once again.
00:52:38Any company that works with Harrington Group will be blacklisted by us.
00:52:42We will not do business with them.
00:52:45Sterling Group has competed with Harrington Group for years without a single win.
00:52:49They finally come out on top.
00:52:52How could Charles let a talent like her slip away? Is he blind?
00:52:56Haven't you heard?
00:52:58Harrington Group's Iris was jealous of Lisa's breakthrough.
00:53:00She framed her for embezzlement and sent her to prison.
00:53:03Marcus got her out.
00:53:05With such a stupid air, Harrington Group might collapse without me lifting a finger.
00:53:15Mr. Sterling, it's broad daylight. Are you dreaming already?
00:53:25Ella, I didn't think you'd dare show up.
00:53:29Why wouldn't I?
00:53:30Haven't you always seen yourself as the brilliant, untouchable heiress and me as a parasite who lived off you and
00:53:35then betrayed you?
00:53:36Well, I've fulfilled the Field Group contract and helped Sterling Group crush Harrington Group.
00:53:40We're about to become the world's leading energy company.
00:53:43Aren't you ashamed to even face me now?
00:53:46Why should I feel ashamed in front of a fraud who belongs in prison?
00:53:50Charles, control your useless daughter. Since you sent me a talent like Lisa, I'll let this slide. But next time,
00:53:57don't expect me to be so nice.
00:54:00A word of advice, Mr. Sterling. Cancel the launch and terminate the Field Group contract now. There's still time.
00:54:07Little girl, go back to playing house.
00:54:09Your batteries have a serious defect. Testing them on a global live stream will cause a disaster you can't undo.
00:54:15Ridiculous.
00:54:17Lisa, start the performance demonstration. Let these two sore losers see how perfect our batteries are.
00:54:22Could she have been telling the truth about the defect?
00:54:25Lisa, what are you waiting for?
00:54:28Switch to the live feed.
00:54:32Take a look, everyone. This is Field Group's latest electric car fitted with our solid state battery.
00:54:37It charges from zero to 90% in just three minutes. More than five times faster than conventional batteries.
00:54:43Marcus, partnering with your company was the best decision I've ever made.
00:54:47My God. This technology changes everything.
00:54:50We have to work with Sterling Group. Miss this opportunity and we'll be left behind.
00:54:53Ella Harrington is insane. She couldn't steal Lisa's technology, so now she's slandering her.
00:54:58I was worried over nothing. Ella was just trying to scare us again.
00:55:03Poor Charles. Your only heir is a half-witted fool.
00:55:07Don't worry. Once I take over Harrington Group, I'll make your business flourish.
00:55:12Don't celebrate yet, Marcus. That was only the charging test.
00:55:15Lisa, switch to the range test.
00:55:19After a full charge, this car has been driven in shifts by several drivers.
00:55:24Mark, Sterling Group's Vice President of Technology, is currently behind the wheel.
00:55:28It has been running for 24 hours and covered 1,800 kilometers.
00:55:32It'll arrive here shortly.
00:55:33The entire drive has been live streamed. Nothing has been faked.
00:55:37The battery currently has 3% remaining.
00:55:42What are you looking at, Ella? Still putting on an act?
00:55:46I'm watching your time run out.
00:56:08What's going on? You said your batteries were flawless. That nothing could go wrong. What the hell is this?
00:56:12Mr. Field, this was an accident.
00:56:15That's right, William. This can't be a battery problem.
00:56:17Are you saying there's something wrong with Field Group's cars?
00:56:20Of course not. It's Mark's fault.
00:56:23He must have crashed because he wasn't paying attention.
00:56:26He was a parasite at our company, but even I feel sorry for Mark now.
00:56:31He's unconscious from poisoning, and you're still pinning all the blame on him.
00:56:35Unconscious from poisoning?
00:56:37What nonsense are you talking about?
00:56:39I told you long ago that the technology you stole was flawed.
00:56:42The batteries work fine at first, but when the charge runs low, they can go into thermal runaway
00:56:46and release large amounts of hydrogen sulfide, poisoning people and making them lose consciousness.
00:56:51Don't listen to her! She's lying! It was just an accident!
00:56:55Facts don't lie.
00:56:57The doctor with your camera crew is about to confirm it.
00:57:01Cut the feed! Right now!
00:57:03The patient has hydrogen sulfide poisoning.
00:57:05He needs emergency hospital treatment immediately.
00:57:10Is she the one who really developed the solid-state battery technology?
00:57:14Lisa Madison is a fraud who stole someone else's reputation.
00:57:17You shits! You said you developed this technology!
00:57:20I trusted you, and you played me for a fool!
00:57:23Marcus, this really was just an accident. You have to believe me!
00:57:27Old friend, let me return your words.
00:57:29Once I take over Sterling Group, I'll make your business flourish.
00:57:32Shut up! Sterling Group is not going bankrupt!
00:57:36That's not up to you.
00:57:41Sir, after that live scream, our stock is plummeting.
00:57:44We've already lost half our market value.
00:57:49What?
00:57:52Lisa Madison, I'll make you pay.
00:57:57You're the one who pay first, Marcus Sterling.
00:57:59Our reputation has been seriously damaged because of you.
00:58:02You've dared to do business with Field Group using technology of dubious origin?
00:58:06You've got some nerve, Marcus.
00:58:08William, let me explain.
00:58:10Save it!
00:58:11A company as unscrupulous as yours doesn't deserve to work with us.
00:58:14Get ready to pay the damages.
00:58:16Mr. Sterling, didn't you personally promise 10 billion in damages if you failed to fulfill the order?
00:58:2510 billion dollars.
00:58:27Once they pay that, Sterling Group is finished.
00:58:29William, give us another chance.
00:58:32Lisa solved the mismatch between the specifications and our production equipment.
00:58:37Give us a little more time and we'll solve this problem, too.
00:58:40Yes, William! Give me a little more time. I can fix this.
00:58:44Remember? I'm the person who turned down an invitation from StarCrate Labs.
00:58:48Interesting. Does StarCrate Labs know you turned them down?
00:58:52Shut up! An airhead like you could never understand what StarCrate Labs represents.
00:58:57I can't believe what I'm hearing.
00:58:59You're telling StarCrate Labs Chief Researcher to her face that she doesn't understand its prestige?
00:59:04That's the funniest thing I've heard all year.
00:59:08What? Ella Harrington is StarCrate Labs' Chief Researcher?
00:59:16Charles, even your lies should have limits.
00:59:19Saying that just makes you look ridiculous.
00:59:21You say you're StarCrate Labs' Chief Researcher.
00:59:24Then why has Holm never mentioned you?
00:59:27She has a point. Mr. Holm heads StarCrate Labs.
00:59:31If Ella Harrington really is its Chief Researcher, how could you not know her?
00:59:36Could it be that you and Holm aren't close enough for him to tell you about me?
00:59:39Oh, Mr. Holm isn't here, so you can make up whatever you like.
00:59:43You guessed one tiny flaw in our technology, and now you're claiming you developed it?
00:59:49And you're StarCrate Labs' Chief Researcher?
00:59:51Ella, you're too greedy.
00:59:55William, no one with half a brain would believe her.
00:59:58So he should believe you?
01:00:00You didn't even know the batteries you oversaw were defective?
01:00:03You've nearly destroyed Sterling Group.
01:00:04If even the battery they chose for the livestream was defective, I doubt there's a single usable one in the
01:00:09batch Mark has delivered.
01:00:10Enough.
01:00:12Our partnership is over.
01:00:14Field Group's legal department will contact you about the damages.
01:00:19William, give us another chance!
01:00:27What do you want?
01:00:28William, I want to show you something.
01:00:46It's been a while, Mr. Holm.
01:00:48Thank you for making time to see me.
01:00:54I didn't want to make my relationship with Holm public, but now I have no choice.
01:00:59William, Holm and I are secretly dating.
01:01:02This photo was taken when we had a meal together recently.
01:01:08That's impossible!
01:01:09Ella, don't tell me you and Holm are so close that you discuss your love lives.
01:01:14Good thing I took an extra precaution during our meal.
01:01:17What's your point?
01:01:19William, Holm admires my talent.
01:01:22He told me that if I ever ran into an energy technology problem, he could get StarCore Labs to help
01:01:27me solve it.
01:01:29Lisa, why didn't you tell me sooner?
01:01:31I'm telling you about our relationship to prove that we can fix the flaw in the battery technology.
01:01:36All we need is a little time.
01:01:37William, even if you don't trust me, trust StarCore Labs.
01:01:41It's the best energy research lab in the world.
01:01:44One last chance, then. One week.
01:01:46I want flawless, solid-state batteries.
01:01:49My passport's already ready.
01:01:51I'll use this week to squeeze as much money as I can out of the old bastard before I leave
01:01:55the country.
01:01:56Mr. Sterling, there's a gentleman outside without an invitation.
01:01:59He says his name is Holm, and he's here to see a friend.
01:02:04Lisa, why didn't you tell me you'd invited Mr. Holm?
01:02:06I'd have sent him an invitation. This is terribly rude of us.
01:02:10Show Mr. Holm in at once.
01:02:13No. I'll welcome him myself.
01:02:18Lisa, could you introduce me to Mr. Holm?
01:02:21If you can, I'll extend the delivery deadline by another month.
01:02:25Of course.
01:02:27What a wonderful surprise, Mr. Holm. It's an honor to have you at our launch.
01:02:34My God, Mr. Holm really is here to see Lisa.
01:02:36Ella claims she was StarCone Labs' chief researcher. She's about to be humiliated.
01:02:40Is Holm really here for me? Did he regret turning me down that day?
01:02:45I need to get him to pretend we've been dating for a while.
01:02:52Holm?
01:02:53Ella, you owe me a really good meal for this.
01:03:01Deal. Anything you want.
01:03:03Mr. Holm, aren't you here to see Lisa?
01:03:08Why would I be here to see her?
01:03:14What's going on? Didn't you invite him?
01:03:17I... I don't know.
01:03:19Sorry to disappoint you. I'm the one who asked Holm to come.
01:03:23Good thing you were nearby. You got here almost as soon as I sent the message.
01:03:27Why did you ask me here? You didn't say in your message.
01:03:31Lisa, didn't you say Holm was your boyfriend?
01:03:33That's why I called you. To stop you from acquiring a girlfriend you didn't even know you had.
01:03:40Miss Harrington, are you saying Lisa Madison isn't Mr. Holm's girlfriend?
01:03:44What? Of course she isn't.
01:03:46I've met that woman twice in my life. This is absurd.
01:03:49The second time I thought she wanted to ask me some research questions.
01:03:52Instead, she wrapped herself around me like a snake and said she'd do anything if I helped her.
01:03:56So that's where that photo came from.
01:03:58I'm sorry, Holm. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been dragged into this.
01:04:03What are you talking about, Ella?
01:04:04You're our brilliant chief researcher. It's an honor to help you.
01:04:10So she really is StarCore Lab's chief researcher?
01:04:15Then Miss Harrington must be the one who developed the solid-state battery technology. There's no question about it.
01:04:21That's right. Allow me to formally introduce StarCore Lab's chief researcher, the driving force behind our lab and the genius
01:04:28who developed solid-state battery technology, Ella Harrington.
01:04:37This is extraordinary, Miss Harrington. I never imagined StarCore Lab's chief researcher would be such a young genius.
01:04:45I apologize for my earlier decision. Walking away from Harrington Group was the biggest mistake of my life.
01:04:52Miss Harrington, might we have the honor of working with Harrington Group again?
01:05:03There's no rush, Mr. Field. Settle your dispute with Sterling Group first.
01:05:08You're absolutely right, Miss Harrington.
01:05:14Marcus, no one has ever played me twice the way Sterling Group has.
01:05:19William, I was deceived too.
01:05:22It was that bitch Lisa. She fooled us all.
01:05:27William, I'll make her suffer.
01:05:29That's Sterling Group's business. It has nothing to do with me.
01:05:33Have the damages ready as soon as possible. You don't want to find out what happens when you cross field
01:05:39group.
01:05:45go!
01:05:54Call an ambulance! He's having a heart attack!
01:06:03Marcus and I fought for decades, I never imagined it would end like this.
01:06:08Sterling group is finished now.
01:06:13All because he trusted the wrong person.
01:06:20Damn it.
01:06:21She's like a sewer rat.
01:06:25Dad, I won't make the same mistake twice.
01:06:40Ella, you destroyed everything I had.
01:06:43Just wait, one day I'll destroy everything you have too.
01:06:45I'm afraid that day will never come.
01:06:55Miss Harrington, she had her passport and bank cards on her the whole time.
01:07:00If we hadn't blocked the exit, she'd have fled the country.
01:07:02Finding her then would have been much harder.
01:07:05Ella, thank goodness you were prepared.
01:07:10Last time, I woke up a little too late.
01:07:13You'd already left with my stolen flash drive after Marcus bailed you out.
01:07:17I won't give you that chance again.
01:07:19She was ready to run at any moment, like a fugitive.
01:07:23How did I ever think she was a genius who could develop solid state battery technology?
01:07:28With all her crimes, if she doesn't escape, she'll probably spend the rest of her life in prison.
01:07:35Miss Harrington, I know several excellent lawyers who can ensure Lisa Madison receives the harshest possible sentence.
01:07:42Would you like an introduction?
01:07:46Ella, I'm sorry.
01:07:48I know I was wrong.
01:07:49Please forgive me just this once.
01:07:51It was Mark.
01:07:53He didn't want to go to prison.
01:07:54He said he knew people at Sterling Group and forced me to give them the drive.
01:07:58I was coerced.
01:08:00Ella, I regret it.
01:08:02I shouldn't have listened to him.
01:08:03I was so scared.
01:08:05Please, let me off just this once.
01:08:10You don't know, do you?
01:08:11The police arrived at the hospital shortly after Mark.
01:08:14When he woke up, he told them everything.
01:08:18Ella, remember?
01:08:20We promised we'd be best friends forever.
01:08:22For the sake of all those years, give me one more chance.
01:08:25I swear I'll never betray you again.
01:08:37Friends, that's not what you said when we met again.
01:08:42You poured hot coffee over my head.
01:08:45Charity.
01:08:47You said our friendship was charity.
01:08:49That I was humiliating you to satisfy my own insufferable moral superiority.
01:08:54You bullied me with your subordinates.
01:08:56Put your name on my report.
01:08:58Had your lover fire me.
01:09:01Stole my flash drive.
01:09:02And beat me so badly I ended up in the hospital.
01:09:06Lisa, you only call me your friend when you're in trouble.
01:09:11You're not showing remorse because you truly regret what you did.
01:09:15You're afraid of the punishment that's coming.
01:09:22Everyone, please wait a moment.
01:09:24After our group's tireless efforts,
01:09:26our solid state batteries have completed testing
01:09:28and will soon enter mass production.
01:09:31Our launch event is in three days.
01:09:33You're all welcome to attend.
01:09:37About our partnership.
01:09:39Mr. Field, your livestream disaster is making headlines worldwide.
01:09:43You urgently need electric cars with flawless solid state batteries to restore your reputation.
01:09:50Ms. Harrington, you're a shrewd businesswoman.
01:09:53If we can work with Harrington Group,
01:09:55we're willing to pay three times the original contract price,
01:09:58with a total order value of $10 billion.
01:10:02Here's to our partnership, Mr. Field.
01:10:20Hello, everyone.
01:10:21I'm Ella Harrington, your presenter for today's solid state battery technology launch.
01:10:28Let me walk you through the details.
01:10:29Let me walk you through the details.
01:10:31ELECTRONIC
01:10:32ELECTRONIC
01:10:33ELECTRONIC
01:10:34You
