00:00:00The hacker's trying to bust through the server firewall.
00:00:05I can handle this.
00:00:08Like hell, this guy works in network operations, you know, fixing computers.
00:00:11How the hell is he going to stop a large-scale hack?
00:00:14This is William Dorsey, our boss's son.
00:00:17You know what they say about new management?
00:00:19There's got to be some layoffs.
00:00:21Eric Martin. You are so fucking fired.
00:00:24Sir, Eric was the one who stopped the cyber attack.
00:00:26You want to follow him out?
00:00:28What are you doing kissing this douchebag?
00:00:30Why would I waste my time with an unemployed loser like you?
00:00:34I will formally be severing my ties with Dorsey Tech.
00:00:37There's another employee with a similar name who's always slacking on the job.
00:00:40With Eric's codes, I can plug the loophole.
00:00:42Everyone will think I'm a hero.
00:00:44You're Eric Martin.
00:00:45I am.
00:00:46We have to get him on our side.
00:00:48If you join Hendrix Tech, you can have anything you want.
00:00:52Including me.
00:00:54Our AI platform and company server have both crashed.
00:00:56What the fuck?
00:01:11I know. I'm on my way right now.
00:01:13Okay, I'll try that.
00:01:15Shit, the hacker's trying to bust through the server firewall. This is bad.
00:01:18Do something. The server is the company's lifeline.
00:01:20If they break through the firewall, we're finished.
00:01:22Guys, our IP is locked.
00:01:24Just shut me out.
00:01:26Hold on, just let me...
00:01:28Okay, just relax. There's got to be a way.
00:01:34I can handle this.
00:01:36You?
00:01:38Like hell. This guy works in network operations.
00:01:40You know, fixing computers, watching surveillance footage.
00:01:42How the hell is he going to stop a large-scale hack?
00:01:44Do you know what to do?
00:01:46We're running out of time.
00:01:48Desperate times call for desperate measures. Eric, get in here.
00:01:55Okay.
00:02:01Oh my god, he's unlocked the IP.
00:02:04The firewall's safe.
00:02:06And I sent a botnet swarm to launch a DDoS to scrape all the personal data.
00:02:12Eric, you went up against 300 expert hackers and you just owned them.
00:02:15Dude, that was sick. I was telling you there was just some sort of network maintenance lag.
00:02:19But it turns out you're a better programmer than I am.
00:02:21How the hell did you get so good?
00:02:23What you did just now was legendary.
00:02:25Wait, I heard our bosses recently hired a Silicon Valley tech star to develop a next-gen AI neural net.
00:02:32Was that you?
00:02:34I...
00:02:36Look, I'll have to tell you later.
00:02:38My botnet just traced these hackers' IP addresses.
00:02:40Looks like we're going to have to shut them down one by one if we want to protect the server.
00:02:44Which is going to take some time.
00:02:48You guys can all head out.
00:02:50I'll take it from here.
00:02:52Right, yeah.
00:02:54You guys can go.
00:03:22God, finally.
00:03:24God, finally.
00:03:26God, finally.
00:03:28God, finally.
00:03:30God, finally.
00:03:32God, finally.
00:03:34God, finally.
00:03:36God, finally.
00:03:38God, finally.
00:03:40Let's light up.
00:03:42Great.
00:03:44Hold on, lighter.
00:03:46You did it?
00:03:48You're a pro, man.
00:03:50You're a pro, man.
00:03:52Yeah, all in a night's work.
00:03:54Yeah, all in a night's work.
00:03:56Alright, I'm going to get some sleep.
00:04:12Johnny.
00:04:14So who's this Herod guy anyway?
00:04:16I mean, his skills are off the charts.
00:04:18Not sure yet.
00:04:20I thought he was some network maintenance dredge.
00:04:22Who knew he could ward off a cyber attack like that?
00:04:24And with his talent, you'd think the boss would put him in a more important role.
00:04:26You know,
00:04:28I don't remember seeing
00:04:30sit around and chat in your job description.
00:04:32Brenda, who the hell is this guy?
00:04:34This is
00:04:36William Dorsey,
00:04:38our boss's son.
00:04:40He just completed his MBA at Stanford.
00:04:42Mr. Dorsey will be standing in
00:04:44as CEO while his father
00:04:46deals with some medical issues.
00:04:48Am I looking at two employees from Dorsey Tech
00:04:50or a couple eight-year-olds out at recess?
00:04:52I honestly can't tell.
00:04:54Sir, I can explain.
00:04:56Zip it, Johnny.
00:04:58You can't manage yourself, let alone your entire team.
00:05:00So get out of my face.
00:05:02You're fired.
00:05:04You're fired. Get out.
00:05:06I just did that.
00:05:08You know what they say
00:05:10about new management?
00:05:12There's going to be some layoffs.
00:05:14I'm going to separate the wheat from the chaff.
00:05:16Ha ha ha.
00:05:22Okay, listen up.
00:05:24I'm going to need 150% every single day.
00:05:26None of this half-ass bullshit anymore.
00:05:28All right?
00:05:32Who does he think he is?
00:05:34Elon Musk?
00:05:38What the hell is this crap?
00:05:40I need zero distractions in this office.
00:05:42Leave your shit at home
00:05:44and maybe you'll get something done for once.
00:05:48No!
00:05:50That was limited edition.
00:05:52Oh, boo-hoo.
00:05:54It's not my fault you were decorating
00:05:56your desk with that junk instead of working.
00:05:58You're fired!
00:06:00Excuse me?
00:06:02Uh, Fernanda, see how much that thing costs
00:06:04and buy her a new one?
00:06:06Dorsey Tech might lack competent workers,
00:06:08but one thing it doesn't lack is money.
00:06:10Yes, sir.
00:06:16And what do we have here?
00:06:18Sleeping on the job?
00:06:20Good morning, my sweet prince.
00:06:24Who the hell are you?
00:06:26Who am I? It doesn't matter.
00:06:28Uh, you're fired.
00:06:30Me? You're firing me?
00:06:32Yeah.
00:06:34Well, you're firing me.
00:06:36Did I stutter?
00:06:38No.
00:06:40That's, uh, that's not what I meant.
00:06:42Fernanda, what does he do?
00:06:44Um, he works in network maintenance.
00:06:46What's his salary?
00:06:48Just about 500K a year.
00:06:50Oh, 500K a year!
00:06:52All that for a simple maintenance job?
00:06:54What are you doing, taking us for a ride?
00:06:56No, uh, look, I was...
00:06:58I was working all night.
00:07:00Can't I just take a rest?
00:07:02You trying to clock in a time and a half for overtime?
00:07:04I mean, I've heard of quiet quitting,
00:07:06but that's just a time fact.
00:07:08Are you HR folks as dumb as these techies,
00:07:10or is this some kind of larger-scale scam?
00:07:14Eric and I might be dating,
00:07:16but I can't afford to get dragged into this.
00:07:18I need to break up with this loser.
00:07:20Um, he must have pulled some strings
00:07:22to get a higher salary.
00:07:24Other workers in the same department
00:07:26don't make nearly as much as him.
00:07:28Fernanda.
00:07:32Eric Martin.
00:07:34You are so fucking fired.
00:07:36Get your shit and get out of my building.
00:07:44All right, then.
00:07:46Eric.
00:07:48Sir, Eric was the one who stopped the cyber attack.
00:07:50You want to follow him out?
00:07:52Hey, look.
00:07:54Dorsey Tech is still one of the top tech companies
00:07:56in Silicon Valley.
00:07:58Don't lose your jobs for me.
00:08:04Okay.
00:08:12Yeah.
00:08:14Boss's orders.
00:08:16I won't hold it against you.
00:08:18Uh, it's also our one-year anniversary.
00:08:20Right?
00:08:22Um, see you in the lobby.
00:08:28What was that about?
00:08:30Mr. Dorsey?
00:08:32Yeah.
00:08:34Are you sure it's a good idea
00:08:36to fire so many employees on your first day
00:08:38as acting CEO?
00:08:40It's better to be feared
00:08:42than loved.
00:08:44I mean, what?
00:08:46You want me to show some mercy to your crook boyfriend?
00:08:48Is that it?
00:08:50No, he's not.
00:08:52You know, you deserve so much better.
00:08:54I mean, what would you prefer?
00:08:56An unemployed loser
00:08:58or a rich CEO?
00:09:08Just a sec.
00:09:10Busy guy.
00:09:12Oh, what's up, Dad?
00:09:14My heart's acting up again.
00:09:16You'll have to take over the company for now.
00:09:18Also,
00:09:20there's an important matter you need to know about.
00:09:22Yeah, um,
00:09:24what's the important matter?
00:09:26Employee. Eric.
00:09:28Whatever you do, make sure to be good to him.
00:09:30Eric?
00:09:34Eric Martin.
00:09:38Isn't that the guy I just laid off?
00:09:40William, you there?
00:09:42Yep.
00:09:44Uh, just a second.
00:09:46Do we have any other employees
00:09:48named Eric?
00:09:52This is the employee list.
00:09:54Yep.
00:09:56I was trying to get him to work for us for years
00:09:58and finally poached him.
00:10:00He's in charge of our next-gen AI development.
00:10:02The company's future is in his hands.
00:10:04Ah, yes. Eric Martin, AI development.
00:10:06I see him.
00:10:08Eric Martin, AI development.
00:10:10One of the top tech visionaries
00:10:12in Silicon Valley.
00:10:14This the guy?
00:10:16Yeah, that's him. Eric Martin.
00:10:18There's another employee with a similar name
00:10:20who's always slacking on the job.
00:10:23Don't worry, Dad. I already did.
00:10:25Ah, guess that sucker I fired
00:10:27wasn't the big-shot tech genius after all.
00:10:34Yeah, just focus on getting better, Dad.
00:10:36I got this.
00:10:41You know, I told you that my father
00:10:43wouldn't pay 500 grand to some loser.
00:10:46So who's it gonna be?
00:10:48MMA?
00:10:53What the fuck do you want?
00:10:55Mr. Dorsey, um...
00:10:59Spit it out, man. What's up?
00:11:01The company server just crashed.
00:11:05You, talk to me.
00:11:07It's bad, sir. The customer complaints are getting out of control.
00:11:09What should we do, sir?
00:11:11Eric saved us during the last cyberattack,
00:11:13so if we can just get him here, then...
00:11:15Problem solved.
00:11:17Fernanda, you got his number, right?
00:11:19Why don't you give him a call?
00:11:23Eric.
00:11:25What a dick.
00:11:27Forgets his tablet.
00:11:29Amelioration algorithm?
00:11:31Wait.
00:11:33Is this the code
00:11:35that fixes the server loophole?
00:11:37Oh, damn.
00:11:39This is good.
00:11:43Hello?
00:11:45Eric, the company server crashed.
00:11:47Get over here and help us.
00:11:49Mr. Dorsey said that if you fix it,
00:11:51you'll be generously rewarded.
00:11:53On my way.
00:11:55With Eric's codes,
00:11:57I can plug the loophole.
00:11:59Everyone will think I'm a hero.
00:12:05So?
00:12:07He said he's got it.
00:12:09Thank God.
00:12:13Well?
00:12:15You still have an answer to the question?
00:12:17A memory?
00:12:19Eric and I weren't a thing.
00:12:21I was just leaning him on.
00:12:23I'd choose you, of course.
00:12:25Six more.
00:12:33God, Fernanda was supposed to be off a half hour ago.
00:12:35Where is she?
00:12:37Screw it.
00:12:39I'm going up.
00:12:49You fucking asshole!
00:12:53Fucking asshole!
00:12:57Stop it!
00:12:59You're acting like a child.
00:13:01As if you never saw this coming.
00:13:03What are you doing kissing this douchebag?
00:13:05Watch your mouth!
00:13:07I can do whatever I want
00:13:09with whoever I want.
00:13:11You bastard.
00:13:13Jesus!
00:13:19Eric,
00:13:21you and me
00:13:23are over.
00:13:27Fernanda,
00:13:29are you serious?
00:13:31That pathetic piece of crap
00:13:33had the nerve to mess up your shirt.
00:13:35Why are you doing this?
00:13:37Eric, I told you we're done.
00:13:39Why would I waste my time
00:13:41with an unemployed loser like you?
00:13:43Why would I waste my time
00:13:45with an unemployed loser like you?
00:14:01Keep it.
00:14:03At least you'll have something to jerk off to.
00:14:05Oh, damn.
00:14:07Yeah, so,
00:14:09I'm rich.
00:14:11You're handsome.
00:14:13And you, you're an unemployed loser.
00:14:15Just go home and beat your meat, man.
00:14:21Fernanda, you're the reason I even stayed at Dorset.
00:14:23Shut up!
00:14:25Who knows what kind of lives you told to get the job anyway.
00:14:27We're done.
00:14:33You're gonna pay for this.
00:14:35Hold it.
00:14:37You're in trouble now, bitch.
00:14:41You're in trouble now, bitch.
00:14:49And you are?
00:14:51It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Dorsey.
00:14:53I'm here to report
00:14:55that under my guidance,
00:14:57our systems are back up and running normally.
00:14:59You're Eric Martin!
00:15:01I am.
00:15:03I can see why my father spoke so highly of you.
00:15:05Idiots, do they really not know
00:15:07I'm taking credit for that loser Eric's work?
00:15:09Whatever.
00:15:11As long as the boss's son likes me,
00:15:13I can keep climbing the ladder.
00:15:15Mr. Dorsey,
00:15:17I know the asshole who tried to sabotage our company.
00:15:19Right after you were fired,
00:15:21the system crashed.
00:15:23There's reason to believe
00:15:25that this was your attempt
00:15:27at revenge.
00:15:29Boss.
00:15:31Good news.
00:15:33Eric Martin, that tech whiz you had on your radar,
00:15:35he just left Dorsey Tech.
00:15:37He did?
00:15:39Mm-hmm. It happened ten minutes ago.
00:15:41He was fired by the CEO's son, William.
00:15:43Ha!
00:15:45Oh, that's hilarious.
00:15:47I want to see the look on that old hag
00:15:49Asher Dorsey's face when he realizes
00:15:51that the genius he recruited
00:15:53just got fired.
00:15:55I don't know.
00:15:57He realizes that the genius he recruited
00:15:59just got sacked by his idiot son.
00:16:01But Boss Hendrick's tech
00:16:03is just a mid-level startup.
00:16:05Will someone as talented as him really want to join us?
00:16:07We have to get him on our side
00:16:09by any means necessary.
00:16:13You have no idea
00:16:15how groundbreaking his work in AI modeling is.
00:16:19Get the car ready.
00:16:21I'm going to the Dorsey office.
00:16:23And Eric
00:16:25is mine.
00:16:31Revenge.
00:16:33What the hell are you talking about?
00:16:35Don't play dumb.
00:16:37The systems crashed right after you got fired.
00:16:39This couldn't have been a coincidence.
00:16:41Yet, you still deny it.
00:16:43Bullshit.
00:16:45You guys have always looked down on me as some nobody
00:16:47maintenance worker.
00:16:49Now you're going to blame me when the server gets hacked.
00:16:51None of you idiots
00:16:53have any shred of common sense.
00:16:55If you had common sense, you'd have a job.
00:16:57I'm not going to argue with you in front of Mr. Dorsey.
00:17:01What the hell are you trying to do?
00:17:03You either tell them the truth
00:17:05or they're going to take you to the police station.
00:17:07Eric, I had no idea
00:17:09you were such a vengeful person.
00:17:11What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?
00:17:13Better come clean now
00:17:15or you're going to jail.
00:17:17Alright.
00:17:19What are you waiting for?
00:17:21Arrest me.
00:17:23Let's see if you have any real evidence.
00:17:29What are you doing, man?
00:17:31We don't got handcuffs.
00:17:33Really? Without a shred of remorse?
00:17:35Don't you know that Mr. Dorsey
00:17:37is going to make your life a living hell?
00:17:39Mr. Dorsey,
00:17:41the way I see it,
00:17:43you should teach this asshole a lesson.
00:17:45Yeah, William.
00:17:47A scumbag like him should never get away with this.
00:17:49No, no.
00:17:53From this day on,
00:17:55Eric Martin is now blacklisted
00:17:57from Dorsey Tech
00:17:59and all of its industry partners.
00:18:03You know what this means, dude?
00:18:05You're now kicked out
00:18:07of Silicon Valley, bro.
00:18:11I just have one question.
00:18:13Does Asher,
00:18:15the CEO,
00:18:17know that I've been fired?
00:18:19Why should the CEO be bothered
00:18:21with firing a loser like you?
00:18:23You thought you were real
00:18:25hot shit, didn't you?
00:18:27Boys, take him to the police.
00:18:29Yes, sir.
00:18:31Stop right there.
00:18:41There'll be no need
00:18:43to take him away.
00:18:45He's joining Hendrix Tech.
00:18:51He's joining Hendrix Tech.
00:18:53Oh, I recognize you.
00:18:55You're Evelyn Hendrix,
00:18:57CEO of Hendrix Tech.
00:18:59Evelyn,
00:19:01what are you doing here?
00:19:03I'm here for you, of course.
00:19:05I haven't seen you since college.
00:19:07What?
00:19:09A dummy like you went to college with her?
00:19:11So is this how Dorsey Tech
00:19:13treats former employees?
00:19:15I would have expected better from you.
00:19:17Ms. Hendrix, I...
00:19:19These are high-level conversations
00:19:21between company CEOs.
00:19:23Someone of your rank should know when to shut her mouth.
00:19:25Ms. Hendrix,
00:19:27this prick, Eric,
00:19:29has severely...
00:19:31I'm sorry, who are you?
00:19:33I... I'm, uh...
00:19:35Yeah, I don't really have time to listen to your jabbering.
00:19:37Oh, my God. Okay, look,
00:19:39right after I fired this imbecile,
00:19:41he clearly hacked into our system.
00:19:43His actions have had serious consequences
00:19:45for our company. So, yeah, man,
00:19:47I don't understand why you're challenging me
00:19:49for exposing a cyber criminal.
00:19:53Did you really not ask your father
00:19:55about who Eric is?
00:19:59Of course I asked my father.
00:20:01He said that Eric's some kind of slacker
00:20:03who cheated his way into the company.
00:20:07Slacker?
00:20:09Is that really
00:20:11what Asher said? Word for word.
00:20:13He said,
00:20:15fire this loser as soon as
00:20:17you get the chance.
00:20:19Asher
00:20:21met with me multiple times
00:20:23and begged for me to come join
00:20:25Dorsey Tech. It doesn't make sense
00:20:27that he would change his mind like this.
00:20:29Give me a break, Eric.
00:20:31The boss wouldn't waste his precious time
00:20:33recruiting someone like you.
00:20:35Fine.
00:20:37If that's how it's going to be, then there's
00:20:39nothing left to say to you.
00:20:41Or Dorsey Tech.
00:20:45Eric, how would you feel about
00:20:47coming over to Hendrix Tech?
00:20:53You'll be a principal shareholder
00:20:55and you'll also have a salary of $4 million
00:20:57per year. I want to make you our lead
00:20:59software engineer.
00:21:07I'm sorry,
00:21:09a principal shareholder?
00:21:11$4 million salary?
00:21:13Miss Hendrix, you're giving him
00:21:15a lot. I mean, you're out of your damn mind.
00:21:17This woman's got to screw loose.
00:21:19You know he was just a maintenance worker at Dorsey Tech,
00:21:21right? And now you want to make him
00:21:23a millionaire?
00:21:27Uh, Evelyn,
00:21:29I know you're trying to help, but
00:21:31I kind of want the money.
00:21:33Then
00:21:35would
00:21:37this sweeten the deal?
00:21:39Are you kidding me?
00:21:41This is insane!
00:21:43If you join Hendrix Tech,
00:21:45you can have anything
00:21:47you want.
00:21:49Including me.
00:21:53Okay, uh, look, Miss Hendrix,
00:21:55you're a self-made woman, which I respect,
00:21:57so for your own good, let me remind you
00:21:59that this loser that you set your mind
00:22:01on is some dick who
00:22:03loves to slack on the job.
00:22:05My father said it himself.
00:22:07Okay.
00:22:09Alright.
00:22:21What's all that?
00:22:23See, that
00:22:25would be all the things your father gave me.
00:22:27The car,
00:22:29the money, my relationship.
00:22:31See, they're all yours now.
00:22:33You can tell Asher
00:22:35that from this day forward,
00:22:37I, Eric Martin,
00:22:39will formally be severing my ties
00:22:41with Dorsey Tech.
00:22:43Quit it with the self-pity.
00:22:45You didn't deserve those things to begin with.
00:22:47It's right that you returned them.
00:22:49You guys are shameless.
00:22:51You don't even see your
00:22:53employees as human beings.
00:22:57Miss Hendrix, I know that you
00:22:59and Dorsey Tech are competitors.
00:23:01Yes, but to be honest,
00:23:03right now we're actually struggling to compete with them.
00:23:05Don't worry.
00:23:09I can help change that.
00:23:13I can help change that.
00:23:15Look at yourself, Eric.
00:23:17Offering to work for a smaller company?
00:23:19What a joke.
00:23:23I'm sorry, a trader like you doesn't
00:23:25have the right to judge others.
00:23:27How dare you?
00:23:29The breach of the company's server has caused
00:23:31major damage.
00:23:33As the perpetrator of this attack, I demand you
00:23:35to issue an apology to Dorsey Tech
00:23:37and all of its customers.
00:23:39And if you don't, I'll have to
00:23:41press charges.
00:23:43Okay, good luck with that.
00:23:45What are you going to do about it?
00:23:47You have no choice but to issue that apology.
00:23:49Stop threatening
00:23:51my employee.
00:23:53If you insist on escalating this,
00:23:55I'll send a letter to Hendrix Tech
00:23:57and we'll see it as a declaration of war.
00:24:01Well, if war is what you want, that's what you'll get.
00:24:05You know what?
00:24:09You know what?
00:24:17Let's go.
00:24:19I'd be sick if I stayed another second in this shithole.
00:24:25Mr. Dorsey,
00:24:27don't waste time with those people.
00:24:29Eric,
00:24:31you've done well.
00:24:33I'm going to assign you the role
00:24:35of lead engineer.
00:24:37That's amazing, sir.
00:24:41What about me,
00:24:43darling?
00:24:45Oh, don't worry, my dear.
00:24:47I'll make sure that you're satisfied.
00:24:49Ew, gross.
00:24:51I won't let you down.
00:24:53I won't let you down.
00:24:55Good.
00:24:57Tell me, how did you resolve the systems crash?
00:24:59Oh.
00:25:01Fuck, the tablet's in the office.
00:25:03What should I say?
00:25:05I used a one-of-a-kind code
00:25:07that I developed myself
00:25:09to get the server back up and running.
00:25:11I can explain it to you in detail later.
00:25:13Spoken like a true visionary.
00:25:15Man's even got his own code.
00:25:17You know what?
00:25:19Don't even bother showing it to me.
00:25:21Keep working your magic, buddy.
00:25:23With you on my team,
00:25:25I can relax.
00:25:27Thank you, sir.
00:25:29Let's go.
00:25:35Say hello to Dorsey Tech's
00:25:37new lead engineer.
00:25:39Let's see if anyone looks down on me now.
00:25:41Hello.
00:25:49Hi, Mr. Dorsey.
00:25:51It's Evelyn Hendrix.
00:25:53I'm just calling to inform you
00:25:55that as of today, Hendrix Tech
00:25:57has a horse in the AI development race.
00:26:01AI development
00:26:03is the crown jewel of Dorsey Tech.
00:26:05Are you sure you want
00:26:07to challenge us?
00:26:09As I said, I'm just calling to inform you.
00:26:11Not to have a discussion.
00:26:13Hang on a minute.
00:26:15It's him.
00:26:23What's that
00:26:25sly fox up to?
00:26:27She knows I have my lethal
00:26:29weapon, Eric, so why would she want
00:26:31to go to war with me?
00:26:33Unless...
00:26:39...
00:26:47Dad, what's up?
00:26:49Tell me you didn't fire Eric.
00:26:53Uh, okay.
00:26:55Just calm down, just for a second.
00:26:57I only fired the slacker you told me about.
00:26:59Okay, then explain to me
00:27:01why Hendrix Tech is suddenly
00:27:03wanting to go to war with us.
00:27:05Well, I...
00:27:07I just tricked her into thinking that she had a chance.
00:27:09I mean...
00:27:11I'm not an idiot. There's no way I would let
00:27:13some lousy slacker
00:27:15bring down our entire server single-handedly.
00:27:17But I got Evelyn to believe
00:27:19that Eric really did it.
00:27:21She thinks she hit the jackpot, but
00:27:23really she's just picking up our trash.
00:27:25So you intentionally misled Evelyn?
00:27:29She's under the impression that the loser
00:27:31she poached from us
00:27:33is the mastermind behind Dorsey Tech's
00:27:35AI modeling.
00:27:37That's why she had the guts to declare war.
00:27:39Nice job, son.
00:27:41That shows real initiative.
00:27:43I think it's time you take full control
00:27:45of our next-gen AI modeling project.
00:27:49R-Really?
00:27:53Dad, thank you. Thank you so much.
00:27:55Now get to work.
00:27:57We are going to make Hendrix Tech
00:27:59the laughingstock
00:28:01of the whole industry.
00:28:03All right. Bye-bye, love.
00:28:09Sir,
00:28:11AI modeling is the future of Dorsey Tech.
00:28:13William
00:28:15just graduated.
00:28:17You sure you want to hand the reins over to him this soon?
00:28:19I'd not have given it to him if he was the only one
00:28:21we were counting on. Don't forget,
00:28:23we still have our ace
00:28:25in the hole.
00:28:27You mean Eric Martin?
00:28:29That's right.
00:28:31All I have to do is
00:28:33stay hands off and let him do what he does best.
00:28:35As long as we have Eric,
00:28:37Hendrix has a snowball's
00:28:39chance in hell.
00:28:41Plus,
00:28:43Evelyn fell for William's bluff
00:28:45and hired that clown Eric.
00:28:47Now all we have to do is
00:28:49sit back and watch her self-destruct.
00:29:01So,
00:29:05now that you've seen the engineering
00:29:07department, what are your thoughts?
00:29:09It's not bad.
00:29:11Small group, but they're talented.
00:29:13All we need is a
00:29:15few programmers with specialized knowledge
00:29:17in the field of AI.
00:29:19Precisely. So,
00:29:21is there any chance that
00:29:23our lead engineer, Mr. Martin,
00:29:25could put together a team?
00:29:27I heard that you weren't
00:29:29the only one that William Dorsey fired.
00:29:33You've got it all figured out, don't you?
00:29:35Alright.
00:29:37Give me a minute.
00:29:39I'll call the guys.
00:29:41Great. Welcome.
00:29:49Come in.
00:29:51Mr. Dorsey, you wanted to see me?
00:29:53Yes.
00:29:55My father has just put me
00:29:57in charge of our AI
00:29:59modeling project. Seeing as your lead
00:30:01engineer, I'm putting you in charge of development.
00:30:03I, uh...
00:30:05Sir?
00:30:07Is there a problem?
00:30:11No, not at all.
00:30:13Don't worry.
00:30:15I'm the right man for the job.
00:30:19Yes?
00:30:21William,
00:30:23there's been another crisis.
00:30:25Several key employees from the tech department have resigned.
00:30:27The department can't function like this.
00:30:29What? They just left?
00:30:31Why?
00:30:33They wouldn't say, but rumor has it
00:30:35they were poached by a former employee.
00:30:37Poached by a former...
00:30:39Fucking Eric Martin.
00:30:41William, what should we do?
00:30:43There's hardly any tech workers left.
00:30:45If anyone else resigns, we're done for.
00:30:47There's no need to freak out. You still have me.
00:30:49I can fix this.
00:30:51Yes.
00:30:53We're gonna be alright.
00:30:55What's your solution?
00:30:57Look, we lost a few expendable employees.
00:30:59That's it. Let them walk.
00:31:01We'll get better ones.
00:31:03I'll make a few calls.
00:31:09I like that.
00:31:11I like that.
00:31:13Yes.
00:31:15Fucking Eric Martin.
00:31:17This is all going swimmingly.
00:31:19Now I can put my own people
00:31:21in key positions.
00:31:23Soon, I'll have the whole company under my thumb.
00:31:29Johnny is an excellent programmer.
00:31:31He'll be assuming the role of department head.
00:31:33And this is Ruby, Leon, and Mateo.
00:31:35They're professional and reliable
00:31:37former co-workers of mine.
00:31:39With this team, Hendrix Tech's AI work
00:31:41will be in good hands.
00:31:43We're all pleased to meet you, Evelyn.
00:31:45Welcome, everyone.
00:31:47It's great to have you all on board.
00:31:49I do want to warn you that there is
00:31:51lots of work to do.
00:31:53We have a ways to go if we want to compete with
00:31:55Dorsey Tech.
00:31:57With Eric at the helm, we'll always be one step ahead.
00:31:59But Dorsey Tech has
00:32:01already developed their own AI program.
00:32:03That?
00:32:05It's a trial version.
00:32:07If they keep developing
00:32:09based on that model, then...
00:32:11Then what?
00:32:13Then we won't have to lift
00:32:15a finger.
00:32:19...
00:32:25We used our experience on the trial version
00:32:27to build a next-gen AI neural net,
00:32:29patching up the previous
00:32:31loopholes and weaknesses.
00:32:33Even if Dorsey Tech analyzes the trial version
00:32:35framework and builds a brand new platform,
00:32:37we'll still have the upper hand.
00:32:39And if they keep building based on the
00:32:41old trial version, then we can just sit back
00:32:43and watch them fail.
00:32:45Mark my words. In this battle for
00:32:47dominance, Hendrix Tech is destined
00:32:49for victory.
00:32:593 a.m. again.
00:33:03Okay, okay.
00:33:11Uh, Mrs. Hendrix, hey.
00:33:13Come on, we're
00:33:15all alone here.
00:33:17Call me Evelyn.
00:33:19Are you always this way towards people
00:33:21who are crushing on you?
00:33:25Crushing on me?
00:33:27You still can't tell.
00:33:29Eric,
00:33:31I like you.
00:33:33I've felt this way since college.
00:33:39You were the
00:33:41prettiest girl on campus.
00:33:43I didn't think you'd go
00:33:45for a guy like me.
00:33:47I've never had my sights set on anyone
00:33:49else. Only you.
00:33:51But you were so
00:33:53oblivious, and when I
00:33:55finally got the courage to tell you
00:33:57how I felt, you disappeared.
00:33:59I went abroad
00:34:01to work on a top-secret
00:34:03training project. I know.
00:34:05You've always been
00:34:07so brilliant.
00:34:09Back then, I
00:34:11made up my mind I was gonna
00:34:13be with you one day.
00:34:17Evelyn, I...
00:34:19And when I founded Hendrix Tech,
00:34:21I wanted to recruit you, but
00:34:23that sneaky bastard Asher Dorsey,
00:34:25he already had
00:34:27snatched you up.
00:34:29I... I see.
00:34:33So,
00:34:35if I came closer to you
00:34:37now,
00:34:39would you mind?
00:34:41Uh... I, uh...
00:34:43I...
00:34:45I should, uh...
00:34:47Uh...
00:34:49It's late. I should probably, uh...
00:34:51be going.
00:34:53Where are you gonna go?
00:34:55You lost everything
00:34:57when you left Dorsey Tech.
00:34:59You kinda have nowhere
00:35:01to go now.
00:35:03Evelyn, uh...
00:35:05Let's go.
00:35:09Go where?
00:35:11I'm taking you home.
00:35:19And this is it?
00:35:23From now until the AI project is finished,
00:35:25you'll be staying with me.
00:35:27For that long?
00:35:29Yeah.
00:35:32For that long?
00:35:34You sure that's a good idea?
00:35:36I'm your boss, remember?
00:35:38It'll make it easier for me to, um...
00:35:40supervise you.
00:35:42Okay, um...
00:35:46Where am I gonna sleep?
00:35:49Well, I only have one bedroom,
00:35:51so you're gonna have to
00:35:53share a bed with me.
00:35:55Oh, uh...
00:35:57No, maybe we probably
00:35:59shouldn't, um...
00:36:01I'm messing with you.
00:36:03My place is huge. At least as big
00:36:05as wherever Dorsey had you.
00:36:07Come on. I'll show you your room.
00:36:09Okay.
00:36:13This is what you've got?
00:36:15You're fucking useless!
00:36:17Sir, the modeling framework
00:36:19we're working with is extremely
00:36:21complex. We'll need at least
00:36:23another month to fully
00:36:25understand it.
00:36:29A month?!
00:36:31Not a chance!
00:36:33I'm gonna give you three days,
00:36:35and I want consistent progress reports!
00:36:37Sir, if we have to rush things,
00:36:39there'll be an increased risk for error.
00:36:41Then you have to work faster and smarter.
00:36:43I'm giving you three days!
00:36:45Eric!
00:36:47Mr. Dorsey!
00:36:49I wore things.
00:36:51You dropped your keyboard.
00:36:53Um...
00:36:55Get back to work.
00:36:57Things are going great.
00:36:59We'll be on stage two in three more days.
00:37:01That's good to hear.
00:37:03You know, I knew I could trust you with this.
00:37:09William.
00:37:11Update me on the AI project.
00:37:13Don't sweat it, Dad. Everything's going
00:37:15according to plan.
00:37:17Wonderful. When our new platform hits the market,
00:37:19I'll stop by to congratulate you.
00:37:23Your father must be so proud of you.
00:37:25Keep it up.
00:37:27Once we hit the market, I'll be sure to let my father know
00:37:29how valuable you've been to us.
00:37:31That's exactly what I need.
00:37:33Who wants to be just department head?
00:37:35If I can keep rising the ranks, I'll be the next
00:37:37vice president of Dorsey Tech.
00:37:39Mr. Dorsey,
00:37:41my job is to put the plans of
00:37:43expert strategists like yourself into action.
00:37:45I believe that if I were
00:37:47the vice president of this company,
00:37:49I could do that even more effectively.
00:37:51If this project does well,
00:37:53I'll see what I can do for you.
00:37:55Really? That's great. Thank you so much, sir.
00:38:13You're up.
00:38:15Wow.
00:38:21Come on.
00:38:23You can keep staring at me
00:38:25over breakfast.
00:38:29Great.
00:38:31Breakfast.
00:38:35That looks amazing.
00:38:41When you're done with breakfast,
00:38:43it's straight to work. Got it?
00:38:45Yeah.
00:38:47Of course.
00:38:49Good.
00:38:51And when you're finished
00:38:53with your project,
00:38:55I have a reward
00:38:57waiting.
00:39:09All right, team.
00:39:13We have an important sprint coming up.
00:39:15We have a lot to do and not a lot
00:39:17of time.
00:39:19So let's get to business.
00:39:21And some good news for you guys.
00:39:23I've been in touch with the
00:39:25financing department, and you will be
00:39:27receiving paid trips to an all-inclusive
00:39:29resort in Cancun once we wrap.
00:39:31All right.
00:39:33Awesome.
00:39:35On top of that, when we go public,
00:39:37you will be receiving a bonus as well
00:39:39as a share in our product revenue.
00:39:41Oh, yes.
00:39:43Here at Hendrix, our employees
00:39:45are instrumental in our success,
00:39:47and you will be treated as such.
00:39:51We're ready to make it happen, Ms. Hendrix.
00:39:53Oh, amen. Ms. Hendrix, we will
00:39:55have good news for you soon.
00:39:57Yeah, the news that we beat Dorsey Tech.
00:39:59And with Eric on our side, we can't lose.
00:40:01Beat Dorsey.
00:40:03Beat Dorsey.
00:40:05Beat Dorsey.
00:40:07Beat Dorsey.
00:40:09Beat Dorsey.
00:40:11Beat Dorsey.
00:40:39Beat Dorsey.
00:41:01You're hopeless, both of you!
00:41:03Sir, I...
00:41:07Don't speak without my permission!
00:41:09I give you a simple task, and repeatedly you keep screwing it up!
00:41:15How did you blockheads get this job working here anyway?
00:41:19We have a whole AI framework that's just waiting to be used, yet you keep twiddling your thumbs!
00:41:26Either you finish this by the deadline, or you can get the fuck out!
00:41:30Is that clear?
00:41:31Yes, sir.
00:41:33Dad didn't tell me this Eric guy had such a hot temper, and didn't Eric say everything was going fine?
00:41:39Was I wrong to trust him?
00:41:49Mr. Dorsey! What are you doing here?
00:41:52Tell me the truth. Are we on track to make the deadline or not?
00:41:55I can assure you we're doing fine. We're just adding a few finishing touches, so things are a bit hectic.
00:42:02Good. Don't be afraid to ask any questions, okay? Don't want any slip-ups.
00:42:08Got it.
00:42:13Darling...
00:42:14Not now. Get me the reports I asked for.
00:42:25Let's see where you'd be without your daddy's money, you little shit.
00:42:29The fuck are you looking at? Get back to work! And this time, I want results!
00:42:42Ms. Hendricks, I've just been informed that Dorsey Tech's next-gen AI platform is nearing completion.
00:42:47It's just a matter of time before it hits the market.
00:42:50Really? That fast?
00:42:52Well, there's a cocktail party three days from now.
00:42:54Dorsey's going to be there announcing their new product and pitching to investors.
00:42:58They're taking things to the next level.
00:43:00That William Dorsey is really milking all his connections.
00:43:04If this goes well for them, we're going to be in a difficult spot.
00:43:07Well, that much is obvious, but I don't...
00:43:09Good thing we're finished, too.
00:43:12What? Really?
00:43:14Why would I lie? We've been right on pace with Dorsey this whole time.
00:43:18Plus, the sooner they want to go public, the easier it'll be for us.
00:43:22Why would it be better for us?
00:43:26Evelyn, remember what I told you when I first came on board?
00:43:31That Dorsey Tech has already developed their own AI program.
00:43:35That? It's a trial version.
00:43:39If they keep developing based on that model, then...
00:43:42Then what?
00:43:45Then we won't have to lift a finger.
00:43:48Hmm. So, what you're saying is that Dorsey Tech has been building off of the trial version that you made?
00:43:55It's the only way they could have built it so fast.
00:43:57It's a rough draft with a whole mess of flaws I wouldn't make a second time.
00:44:01Evelyn, there's nothing for us to worry about.
00:44:04That does make sense.
00:44:06Well, then, good.
00:44:08Thank you. I'm grateful to you.
00:44:12That does make sense.
00:44:14Well, then, good.
00:44:16Thank you. I'm grateful to you and the team for all your hard work.
00:44:19Tell everyone in the tech department that they can take the next three days off.
00:44:23They'll need their rest before we bring product to market.
00:44:26Yes, Ms. Hendricks.
00:44:30This is a big day for us.
00:44:35Why don't we end it with a drink?
00:44:39Aren't you a lightweight?
00:44:43Who said that?
00:44:45I can handle my liquor, Eric.
00:45:01I knew you could be fun. I knew it.
00:45:04I told you.
00:45:06See?
00:45:08That's why that last drink was a bad idea.
00:45:11It was a good idea and I could have had at least two more.
00:45:15Yeah.
00:45:17Yeah, no, you absolutely could. Definitely.
00:45:19You think that you are wild.
00:45:22Okay.
00:45:24No, no.
00:45:26See, I know where you've been.
00:45:29Super easy.
00:45:32What?
00:45:34Eric, how do you believe I want a guy like you?
00:45:43Maybe you should go sober up.
00:45:52I'm sober enough.
00:45:57And what I want is you.
00:46:01What?
00:46:11William, we've been together for some time now.
00:46:15And my feelings for you have only grown stronger by the day.
00:46:19Let's get married.
00:46:25Hey, where are you?
00:46:27Everyone's out here celebrating and you're a no-show.
00:46:31What a buzzkill.
00:46:33I'm coming.
00:46:36No, that's all right. You know, everyone's leaving.
00:46:40Don't bother.
00:46:42Bye.
00:46:47Hey.
00:46:48Hey.
00:46:49Where'd you go? I missed you.
00:46:54It's fine.
00:46:56He just had a bit too much to drink.
00:46:59You know, there is a killer martini spot right up the street.
00:47:03Oh.
00:47:04I can get the bartender to whip up something special for you.
00:47:06I'd like that.
00:47:07You would?
00:47:08Mm-hmm.
00:47:09Oh, you're so much hotter than that bitch Fernanda.
00:47:12You're just a climber who hops from her ex over to me.
00:47:15And, you know, she's the kind of woman you throw some money at and then send her away.
00:47:19That's who she is.
00:47:20William, how could you do this to me?
00:47:26You know, she, she, the funny thing is, is she thinks I actually love her.
00:47:31I've bagged a hundred babes that are better than her.
00:47:34She's delusional.
00:47:37Ugh, how pathetic.
00:47:39Probably just broke up with her boyfriend or something.
00:47:46Yeah, who gives a shit?
00:47:48You know, I'm going to break up with Fernanda soon, okay?
00:47:50And I'll be waiting for you, Daddy.
00:47:54Oh, Jack.
00:47:59God damn it!
00:48:01What have I done?
00:48:05It's going to be so awkward at work now.
00:48:08And I didn't even get the chance to propose to William.
00:48:14God damn it!
00:48:15What have I done?
00:48:19Eric.
00:48:21It's so cold.
00:48:25Eric.
00:48:44It's fine.
00:48:45I already saw everything last night anyway.
00:48:51How do I look?
00:48:58Beautiful.
00:49:01Come on, get up.
00:49:02I have your suit ready too.
00:49:05Where are we going?
00:49:07Where else?
00:49:09We're going to go crash Dorsey Tech's little cocktail party.
00:49:20Okay.
00:49:36What are you doing hiding over here?
00:49:39I told you, you're here as my girlfriend.
00:49:42We have to look the part.
00:49:44Mr. Dorsey.
00:49:46With money like yours, there must be plenty of other girlfriends you can call.
00:49:51Okay.
00:49:52What's gotten into you?
00:49:54You want me to cut your salary or something?
00:49:56Because I can do that.
00:49:57Whatever.
00:49:58Just wait until I'm wasted.
00:50:00Drunk words are sober thoughts.
00:50:02Okay.
00:50:04Mr. Dorsey.
00:50:05Oh.
00:50:06Let's have a toast.
00:50:09To winning over the investors and taking over the market by storm.
00:50:14Cheers.
00:50:15Cheers.
00:50:32Oh, fuck.
00:50:36Man.
00:50:44Fuck.
00:50:50Well, well, well.
00:50:52It isn't that little rat I fired from Dorsey Tech.
00:50:57Miss Hendricks.
00:50:58I see you've taken quite a liking to this loser.
00:51:02Idiot.
00:51:03Right here.
00:51:04Why wouldn't I like Eric?
00:51:06He's a tech genius and the brains behind our new AI platform.
00:51:11Firing him was your loss.
00:51:16Okay.
00:51:18Thanks to Mr. Dorsey's leadership and my fearless efforts, Dorsey Tech AI platform is now reaching the market.
00:51:25You talk a big game, but the only reason why you're here is to ride our coattails.
00:51:31Oh.
00:51:33So what's really funny about that is that we're about to release our own AI platform.
00:51:41Oh, is that so?
00:51:44Well, you frauds don't have a shot against us.
00:51:47How much overtime did you use to make a platform that no one's going to use?
00:51:52Burn, dude.
00:51:53You hear that?
00:51:55Yeah, I would say our monopoly on the tech industry is secure.
00:51:59So, Miss Hendricks, why don't you go on that little love train straight to bankruptcy?
00:52:04We'll see which product no one wants to use.
00:52:09Jesus, Eric.
00:52:10Didn't we, like, just break up?
00:52:13Look at you.
00:52:14Already head over heels for another woman.
00:52:19Excuse me.
00:52:22What's up? Talk to me.
00:52:23Um, do you have any idea where I am?
00:52:26What?
00:52:27What?
00:52:29The server crashed?
00:52:33Okay, yep.
00:52:35Okay, yep.
00:52:36Um, what the fuck?
00:52:38Server crashed.
00:52:39I'll make a call.
00:52:40Yeah, make a call.
00:52:41It'll be fixed in a minute.
00:52:42Yeah, that's, um...
00:52:44Wow.
00:52:45He's got it.
00:52:46Yeah, yeah, he's got it.
00:52:47Use the amelioration algorithm.
00:52:50Yes.
00:52:51Do it.
00:52:52Amelioration algorithm.
00:52:54That's what I call the code I saved on my tablet, but it's only for emergencies.
00:52:57It won't solve the core problem.
00:52:59Wait, did Eric steal my tablet?
00:53:02Another server crash, huh?
00:53:04If your systems are so unpredictable,
00:53:07you sure people are going to trust your new product?
00:53:11Yeah, this doesn't concern you at all.
00:53:14What's up, man?
00:53:15We figure it out?
00:53:16Yeah.
00:53:18Got it fixed.
00:53:19No big deal.
00:53:20No big deal.
00:53:22Wait, did you just say the company's server crashes?
00:53:26No big deal.
00:53:27This is an internal affair.
00:53:29Internal.
00:53:30And you were driven out.
00:53:33So I would keep your mouth shut.
00:53:35The amelioration algorithm is for emergencies only.
00:53:38It won't address the core issue.
00:53:40So the concurrency bug will just lead to more data corruption and more system crashes.
00:53:45It's such a noob mistake.
00:53:47If you understood code, you'd know that.
00:53:49Oh my God, if you would understand code, you wouldn't.
00:53:51Dude, like seriously, do you hear yourself?
00:53:54What do you know?
00:53:55Take your bullshit theories somewhere else, please, man.
00:54:00Right.
00:54:01What do I know?
00:54:03I wrote the amelioration algorithm.
00:54:05What did you just say?
00:54:11I wrote the amelioration algorithm.
00:54:13I'm in HR and the boss still didn't tell me about the mysterious tech genius he hired.
00:54:18Was it really Eric all along?
00:54:20Ugh, what have I done?
00:54:22Shut up.
00:54:23What?
00:54:24Mr. Dorsey, you can't believe a word they say.
00:54:27They are our competitors.
00:54:28Right.
00:54:30Believe whatever you want.
00:54:32What a dumpster fire.
00:54:35Let's go, honey.
00:54:36Yeah.
00:54:37Oh my God.
00:54:38Did you just call him honey?
00:54:41Yeah.
00:54:42So?
00:54:43Back when I recruited Eric, I made the terms very clear.
00:54:46I told him he could have whatever he wanted, including me.
00:54:51I'm not like some people, ignoring talents and abusing their trust.
00:54:55What?
00:54:59I have an image to maintain.
00:55:03Yes, of course.
00:55:04Of course.
00:55:15So, what you're saying is...
00:55:18It's not that I don't respect Hendrix Tech.
00:55:20Dorsey is less an investment risk.
00:55:22And they have greater potential.
00:55:24I can't justify choosing your product over theirs.
00:55:27Mr. Brown, we're a risk worth taking.
00:55:30Once you see our AI platform, I guarantee you'll want to reconsider.
00:55:36Bravo, bravo.
00:55:38That was quite an inspiring sales pitch, Ms. Hendrix.
00:55:43You must be Mr. Dorsey's son.
00:55:45It's a great pleasure.
00:55:47Ms. Hendrix and I were just having a little chat.
00:55:49Naturally, I'll still be investing in Dorsey Tech.
00:55:52Yeah, so, if you're here chasing investments, I would suggest you just give up and go home.
00:55:57With us here, you won't get a rent cent from these guys.
00:56:00That's right.
00:56:01Over 90% of the guests here have already invested in our new AI tech program.
00:56:08Best get out while you still can.
00:56:11I'm afraid they're right.
00:56:12We've already spent our investment money in promoting Dorsey's new AI platform, so...
00:56:18And I can assure you that any investment you've made will not be wasted.
00:56:22And your money will be paid back in tenfold.
00:56:25At Dorsey Tech, we treat our partners like family.
00:56:27And that's why we love doing business with you.
00:56:30If I were you, I'd cut my losses and take my leave.
00:56:34Get out.
00:56:35Unless you also want to invest in Dorsey Tech.
00:56:43Hey, let the jerks have their fun.
00:56:45They won't be laughing for too much longer.
00:56:55Sounds like a plan.
00:57:04Ms. Hendrix!
00:57:06Didn't you just tell us to get lost?
00:57:08I didn't want to offend Mr. Dorsey back there. It was all an act.
00:57:11Well, that sounds professional.
00:57:14Then what do you want?
00:57:15Ms. Hendrix, investors know to hedge their bets.
00:57:18What Hendrix Tech is doing is impressive, and I want to offer my help.
00:57:24I know you need funds to promote your products, and I want to assist with that.
00:57:28But you need to sign a contract first.
00:57:31No way am I signing a contract with you.
00:57:34At least hear the terms.
00:57:36If your AI product tops Dorsey Tech's, you pay nothing.
00:57:41If they win, you pay everything back.
00:57:44You pay nothing.
00:57:45If they win, you pay everything back.
00:57:48What do you say?
00:57:50That's a lot of money we're talking about.
00:57:53It's definitely risky, but I trust Eric.
00:57:59Mr. Brown, we accept your offer.
00:58:02Today, Dorsey Tech's highly anticipated artificial intelligence platform, AI+, was released in the United States.
00:58:08On its first day, AI+, has already gained more than 10 million users,
00:58:13completely eclipsing the efforts of their chief competitor, Hendrix Tech,
00:58:17which also launched their new platform, AI King, on the same day.
00:58:24Evelyn Hendrix has guts.
00:58:27Let's get to the office, Griffin.
00:58:29Yes, sir.
00:58:38Relax, Mr. Dorsey. Hendrix Tech is no threat.
00:58:42Yeah, I know.
00:58:44I'm not going to be a threat.
00:58:46I'm not going to be a threat.
00:58:48I'm not going to be a threat.
00:58:50I'm not going to be a threat.
00:58:52Relax, Mr. Dorsey. Hendrix Tech is no threat.
00:58:55Yeah, I know.
00:58:57Remember when you said that if this project went well, you'd promote me to vice president?
00:59:01Yeah, I remember, but AI+, has just barely hit the market.
00:59:06We can't even call it a success yet.
00:59:08Right, true.
00:59:09Yeah.
00:59:14I have news.
00:59:15Talk to me.
00:59:17The bad news is that Hendrix Tech's AI platform is much more impressive than we thought.
00:59:22The good news is that their consumer numbers are nowhere close to ours.
00:59:26Okay, alright, I'll take it. I'll take it.
00:59:30Like I said, we're unbeatable.
00:59:33Come on, let's celebrate.
00:59:35No, no, not yet.
00:59:37How did Hendrix Tech even get that product out in that timeline?
00:59:40I mean, they got started much later than we did.
00:59:42I heard from a source at their company that their lead engineer is highly skilled.
00:59:47Lead engineer?
00:59:49Eric?
00:59:51I thought he was supposed to be a nobody.
00:59:54Right?
01:00:01Dad, what's up?
01:00:03William, I'm on my way to the office to congratulate you and Eric.
01:00:07Oh, uh, got it.
01:00:09The boss is coming.
01:00:10We can talk to him about my promotion.
01:00:12Shit.
01:00:13Guys, this isn't good.
01:00:15What, what is it now?
01:00:16Our AI platform and company server have both crashed.
01:00:20What the fuck?
01:00:21Right?
01:00:22Every time.
01:00:25Seriously.
01:00:27God damn, dude.
01:00:32What the fuck is going on?
01:00:34Mr. Martin, the AI platform just crashed out of nowhere about five minutes ago.
01:00:37The AI platform just crashed out of nowhere and brought the whole server down along with it.
01:00:41Then don't just sit around like an idiot.
01:00:43Fix it!
01:00:44Sir, this is an issue with the system's core framework.
01:00:46We didn't build that.
01:00:48What do you mean you didn't build it?
01:00:49We're using the same framework that Eric built before he left.
01:00:51Eric, the guy I fired?
01:00:53Yeah, Eric with a K.
01:00:54E-R-I-K.
01:00:58You took credit for someone else's work.
01:01:00You lied to me!
01:01:01Mr. Dorsey, let me explain.
01:01:03No, there is no time for explanation.
01:01:05Why didn't you rebuild the core framework?
01:01:07Mr. Dorsey, we need to focus on getting the company's server up and running.
01:01:10Our users' trust depends on it.
01:01:12Speak!
01:01:13What happened to the company's server?
01:01:15Sir, he was the one.
01:01:16I didn't do shit!
01:01:17Shut your mouth. Go.
01:01:19The solution he used, the amelioration algorithm, after the last two crashes,
01:01:23it's not designed as a long-term solution to the serious concurrency bug in the code.
01:01:27Every time that bug is reproduced, it leads to more serious corruption.
01:01:30It's been a ticking time bomb ever since.
01:01:33This time, the AI platform went down, brought the whole server down along with it.
01:01:38It's completely unfixable.
01:01:42This was all your fault.
01:01:44William, all of our users are switching over to Hendrix Tech AI platform.
01:01:48What should we do?
01:01:49How the fuck am I supposed to know?
01:01:57Mr. Dorsey, what on earth is going on?
01:01:59I'm not going to let you assholes drag me down like this.
01:02:01Look, sir, I can explain. I'm sorry, okay? It's going to be fixed.
01:02:05I have billions of dollars invested in you, dammit.
01:02:07I'm going to make sure the whole industry knows about this scandal.
01:02:10Dorsey Tech is finished.
01:02:18500,000? We just passed 500,000!
01:02:21You guys, 98, 99, 1 million!
01:02:26Oh my god!
01:02:32Go!
01:02:35Go!
01:02:37Hey, hey, it's still going up! It's still going up!
01:02:40Fuck, fuck, fuck!
01:02:42This is all your fault. This is all your fault!
01:02:45Mr. Dorsey, fuck!
01:02:48I wanted to help you. I was trying to help the company.
01:02:52I've had enough of your bullshit.
01:02:54You fired half the bloody tech departments.
01:02:57What was I supposed to do? And you gave us impossible deadlines.
01:03:00No, no, no, don't make this about me.
01:03:02I get it now. You were using my promotion as bait.
01:03:05You were never going to make me VP.
01:03:07You want your job or not?
01:03:09Is that a threat? Fire me. Do it.
01:03:12You think I won't?
01:03:14If Eric leaves, so do I.
01:03:17Me too.
01:03:19See, when you fired everyone, I replaced them with my people.
01:03:25Go ahead, fire me. You'll clear out your whole tech department.
01:03:28You will sink Dorsey Tech.
01:03:32You were never the prize tech genius at Dorsey Tech.
01:03:34You were the slacker my father warned me about.
01:03:38William!
01:03:42William!
01:03:43William!
01:03:47I'm ashamed to call you my son.
01:03:51What the hell have you done to my company?
01:03:54Dad, I'm sorry.
01:03:57I'm not here for apologies.
01:04:03What the hell is this idiot doing here?
01:04:05I thought you fired him.
01:04:07Where's Eric?
01:04:10Dad, I fired Eric.
01:04:12You fired him?
01:04:16Was that a mistake?
01:04:20Dad, are you okay?
01:04:22Hey, are you okay?
01:04:25I busted my fucking balls to get Eric to Dorsey Tech.
01:04:31He was the backbone behind this company.
01:04:34And what did you do?
01:04:37You fired him.
01:04:39So, um, it was Eric with a K all along?
01:04:43Oh, I fucked up.
01:04:45God, I fucked up.
01:04:47Where is Eric now?
01:04:49I will get down on my knees and beg him to come back.
01:04:54Um, Eric is at Hendrix Tech.
01:05:00You are a sorry excuse for a son.
01:05:05You destroyed my company.
01:05:10Sir?
01:05:12Bad news.
01:05:14It appears that the server crash was just the beginning.
01:05:17What's going on?
01:05:18The crash also affected our automobile software.
01:05:21There have been at least 30 car accidents across the U.S.
01:05:25Oh, fuck.
01:05:27Six people have died.
01:05:34No, no, this isn't my fault.
01:05:37This isn't my fault. It was Eric's fault. Eric with a K.
01:05:40It was his code that was faulty.
01:05:42No, that's fucking bullshit. I fired him before that happened.
01:05:45But I stumbled upon his tablet and the code that he wrote.
01:05:49I'm only guilty of using his work. Everything else was his fault.
01:05:54I wrote the amelioration algorithm.
01:05:57God, I mistook the genius for the loser.
01:06:00I'm not going down like this.
01:06:03Dorsey Tech ain't finished yet.
01:06:05I'm not finished yet.
01:06:07Griffin, take this man to the police.
01:06:11If Dorsey Tech goes under, he'll have to pay for this.
01:06:15Yes, sir.
01:06:36Mr. Brown, looks like your contract worked in our favor,
01:06:40so we will not be returning the $5 billion you invested.
01:06:44And again, thank you for your generosity.
01:06:47Wait, do I at least deserve some dividends?
01:06:50I'm sorry, Mr. Brown, but the terms you insisted on were very clear.
01:06:54We beat Dorsey Tech, so we owe you nothing,
01:06:57which includes any dividends you might have otherwise received.
01:07:00What?
01:07:01No. No more buts.
01:07:04Goodbye, Mr. Brown.
01:07:13Tonight, I'll give you that reward I was telling you about.
01:07:17Oh, I'm sure it'll be very special.
01:07:22You have no idea.
01:07:25Eric!
01:07:27Eric!
01:07:30I know I messed up before.
01:07:33It's all over for Dorsey Tech now.
01:07:36Is there anything you can do to help me?
01:07:40What the hell are you doing grabbing my boyfriend?
01:07:44Boyfriend?
01:07:46That's right. I'm his girlfriend now.
01:07:49We're living together and we're getting married soon, too.
01:07:53But you... you can't...
01:07:56No, it's not possible!
01:07:58He was mine first!
01:08:00You dumped him and you treated him like trash.
01:08:05It's a little late for you to come crawling back.
01:08:09Guys, can we...
01:08:12Eric, no!
01:08:23You're hot when you're bossy.
01:08:25You like?
01:08:26Yeah.
01:08:27Eric?
01:08:28What?
01:08:32Eric?
01:08:33What is it now?
01:08:43Eric, you know how much I've known for you.
01:08:47Dorsey Tech is in dire straits.
01:08:51We need your help.
01:08:53Mr. Dorsey, all those things you gave me...
01:08:57I returned when your son accused me of hacking the company server and demanding compensation.
01:09:04Oh, has he not told you?
01:09:06That is not how it went down at all.
01:09:10It was that dirtbag, Eric with a C, who went behind my back and got me all mixed up.
01:09:15Oh yeah?
01:09:16Well, your little mix-up made me lose everything I had, including my career.
01:09:22Did it feel good to make me the scapegoat for your mistake?
01:09:26Eric, I am really sorry.
01:09:30I don't want your fake apology, and I'm not coming back to you.
01:09:35So, would you please leave our office?
01:09:42Now, would you please leave our office?
01:09:47We wish Dorsey Tech the very best.
01:09:52Dad?
01:10:07You fucking doomed us, son!
01:10:10You doomed Dorsey Tech!
01:10:14Dad, dad, dad!
01:10:15Dad?
01:10:16Dad!
01:10:17Dad!
01:10:23So, you're really not going to help them?
01:10:27They're the ones who fired me. Now they have to live with the outcome.
01:10:32Well, to the sweet taste of victory.
01:10:35To the sweet taste of victory.
