00:00:00The Hacker's trying to bust through the server firewall.
00:00:05I can handle this.
00:00:07Like hell, this guy works in network operations, you know, fixing computers.
00:00:11How the hell's he gonna 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?
00:00:19It's gonna 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 wanna 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 would formerly 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?
00:00:58I know, I'm on my way right now.
00:01:13Okay, I'll try that.
00:01:14Shit, it's the hackers trying to bust through the server firewall.
00:01:17This 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.
00:01:23Just shut me out.
00:01:25Hold on, just let me...
00:01:26Oh, come on.
00:01:27Okay, just relax.
00:01:28There's gotta be a way.
00:01:33I can handle this.
00:01:36You?
00:01:37Like hell, this guy works in network operations.
00:01:39You know, fixing computers, watching surveillance footage.
00:01:42How the hell is he gonna stop a large-scale hack?
00:01:44Do you know what to do?
00:01:45We're running out of time.
00:01:46Desperate times call for desperate measures.
00:01:47Eric, get in here.
00:01:48Oh my God, he's unlocked the IP.
00:02:03The firewall's safe.
00:02:04And I sent a botnet swarm to launch a DDoS.
00:02:08Scrape all the personal data.
00:02:09Eric, you went up against 300 expert hackers and you just owned them.
00:02:14Dude, that was sick.
00:02:15I always thought you were just some sort of network maintenance laggy.
00:02:18But turns out you're a better programmer than I am.
00:02:20How the hell did you get so good?
00:02:22What 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.
00:02:31Was that you?
00:02:33Alright.
00:02:34Look, I'll have to tell you later.
00:02:37My botnet just traced these hackers' IP addresses.
00:02:40Looks like we're gonna have to shut them down one by one if we wanna protect the server.
00:02:44Which is gonna take some time.
00:02:48You guys can all head out.
00:02:50I'll take it from here.
00:02:52Right, yeah.
00:02:53You guys can go.
00:03:01You guys can go.
00:03:02Yeah.
00:03:03Bye, bye.
00:03:04Bye, bye.
00:03:05Bye, bye.
00:03:12See ya.
00:03:13God, finally.
00:03:34God, finally.
00:03:39Oh, it's light out.
00:03:41Great.
00:03:42Pulled on later.
00:03:46You did it?
00:03:50You're a pro, man.
00:03:51Yeah.
00:03:52All in a night's work.
00:03:55All right.
00:03:56I'm gonna get some sleep.
00:03:57Johnny.
00:04:14So who's this heroic guy anyway?
00:04:16I mean, his skills are off the charts.
00:04:18I'm not sure yet.
00:04:19I thought he was some network maintenance dredge.
00:04:21Who knew he could ward off a cyber attack like that?
00:04:23And with his talent, you'd think the boss would put him in a more important role.
00:04:26You know, I don't remember seeing sit around and chat in your job description.
00:04:32Brenda, who the hell is this guy?
00:04:35This is William Dorsey, our boss's son.
00:04:39He just completed his MBA at Stanford.
00:04:42Mr. Dorsey will be standing in as CEO while his father deals with some medical issues.
00:04:48Am I looking at two employees from Dorsey Tech or a couple of eight-year-olds out at recess?
00:04:52I honestly can't tell.
00:04:52Sir, I can explain.
00:04:54Zip it, Johnny.
00:04:55You can't manage yourself, let alone your entire team.
00:04:57So get out of my face.
00:04:59You're fired.
00:05:02You're fired.
00:05:04Get out.
00:05:06I just did that.
00:05:08You know what they say about new management?
00:05:11There's gonna be some layoffs.
00:05:13Time to separate the wheat from the chaff.
00:05:16Okay, listen up.
00:05:22Listen up.
00:05:23I'm gonna need 150% every single day.
00:05:26None of this half-assed bullshit anymore, alright?
00:05:32Who does he think he is?
00:05:34Elon Musk?
00:05:37What the hell is this crap?
00:05:40Okay, I need zero distractions in this office.
00:05:43Leave your shit at home and maybe you'll get something done for once.
00:05:46No!
00:05:50That was limited edition.
00:05:53Oh, boo-hoo.
00:05:54It's not my fault you were decorating your 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 and buy her a new one?
00:06:05Dorsey Tech might lack competent workers, but one thing it doesn't lack is money.
00:06:09Right?
00:06:10Yes, sir.
00:06:10You are.
00:06:16And what do we have here?
00:06:18Sleeping on the job?
00:06:20Good morning, my sweet prince.
00:06:23Who the hell are you?
00:06:25Who am I?
00:06:25Doesn't matter.
00:06:26Uh, you're fired.
00:06:30Me?
00:06:31You're firing me?
00:06:32Yeah.
00:06:33Well, you're firing me.
00:06:34Did I, did I stutter?
00:06:35I, no.
00:06:37That's not a, that's, uh, that's not what I meant.
00:06:41Fernanda, what does he do?
00:06:42Um, he works in network maintenance.
00:06:45What's his salary?
00:06:46Just about 500k a year.
00:06:48Oh, 500k a year.
00:06:51All that for a simple maintenance job?
00:06:53What are you doing, taking us for a ride?
00:06:55No, uh, look, I was, I was working all night.
00:06:59Can't I just take a rest?
00:07:01You trying to clock in a time and a half for overtime?
00:07:02I, I mean, I've heard of, uh, quiet quitting, but this is time theft.
00:07:08Are you HR folks as dumb as these techies, or is this some kind of larger scale scam?
00:07:13Eric and I might be dating, but I can't afford to get dragged into this.
00:07:16I need to break up with this loser.
00:07:20Um, he must have pulled some strings to get a higher salary.
00:07:23Other workers in the same department don'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.
00:07:45All right, then.
00:07:46Eric.
00:07:47Sir, Eric was the one who stopped the cyber attack.
00:07:49You want to follow him out?
00:07:52Hey, look.
00:07:54Dorsey Tech is still one of the top tech companies in Silicon Valley.
00:07:58Don't lose your jobs for me.
00:08:11Okay.
00:08:12Yeah.
00:08:12Boss's orders.
00:08:15I won't hold it against you.
00:08:17Uh, it's also our one-year anniversary.
00:08:20Right?
00:08:21Um, see you in the lobby.
00:08:23Okay.
00:08:23What was that about?
00:08:29Uh, Mr. Dorsey?
00:08:34Yeah?
00:08:35Are you sure it's a good idea to fire so many employees on your first day as acting CEO?
00:08:39It's better to be feared than loved.
00:08:44I mean, what?
00:08:45You want me to show some mercy to your crook boyfriend?
00:08:48Is that it?
00:08:49Uh, no.
00:08:50He's not.
00:08:51You deserve so much better.
00:08:53I mean, what would you prefer?
00:08:56An unemployed loser or a red CEO?
00:09:00Just a sec.
00:09:10Busy guy.
00:09:11Oh!
00:09:12What'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, there's an important matter you need to know about.
00:09:23Yeah, um, what's the important matter?
00:09:25We have an employee.
00:09:26Eric.
00:09:27Whatever you do, make sure to be good to him.
00:09:31Eric?
00:09:34Eric Martin.
00:09:38Isn't that the guy I just laid off?
00:09:40William, you there?
00:09:42Yep.
00:09:43Uh, just a second.
00:09:45Do we have any other employee in it, Eric?
00:09:52This is the employee list.
00:09:54Yep.
00:09:55I was trying to get him to work for us for years and finally poached him.
00:09:58He's in charge of our next-gen AI development.
00:10:01The company's future is in his hands.
00:10:04Uh, yes.
00:10:05Eric Martin, AI development.
00:10:06I see him.
00:10:07Eric Martin, AI development.
00:10:10One of the top tech visionaries in Silicon Valley.
00:10:13This the guy?
00:10:14Yeah, that's him.
00:10:16Eric Martin.
00:10:17There's another employee with a similar name who's always slacking on the job.
00:10:21Fire him when you get the chance.
00:10:23Don't worry, Dad.
00:10:23I already did.
00:10:25Ha!
00:10:25Guess that sucker I fired wasn't the big shot tech genius after all.
00:10:29Attaboy.
00:10:30Keep it up.
00:10:31Once I'm feeling better, I'll come around and see how things are going.
00:10:34Yeah, just focus on getting better, Dad.
00:10:36I got this.
00:10:36You know, I told you that my father wouldn't pay $500,000 to some loser.
00:10:46So who's it going to be?
00:10:48And I'm me.
00:10:49What the fuck do you want?
00:10:55Uh, Mr. Dorsey, um, uh, you, um...
00:10:59Spit it out, man.
00:11:00What's up?
00:11:00The company's over just grass.
00:11:02You, talk to me.
00:11:06It's bad, sir.
00:11:07The customer complaints are getting out of control.
00:11:09What should we do, sir?
00:11:10Eric saved us during the last cyber attack.
00:11:12So if we can just get him here, then boom.
00:11:14Problem solved.
00:11:15Fernanda, you got his number, right?
00:11:17Uh...
00:11:17Why don't you give him a call?
00:11:18Eric, what a dick.
00:11:27Forgets his tablet.
00:11:30Amelioration algorithm?
00:11:32Wait.
00:11:34Is this the code that fixes the server loophole?
00:11:38Oh, damn.
00:11:40This is good.
00:11:43Hello?
00:11:44Eric, the company's server crashed.
00:11:46Get over here and help us.
00:11:49Mr. Dorsey said that if you fix it, you'll be generously rewarded.
00:11:52On my way.
00:11:54With Eric's codes, I can plug the loophole.
00:11:58Everyone will think I'm a hero.
00:12:04So?
00:12:05He said he's got it.
00:12:06Thank God.
00:12:12Well, you still need some questions?
00:12:15Him or me?
00:12:16Eric and I weren't a thing.
00:12:21I was just leaning him on.
00:12:23I choose you, of course.
00:12:25Smith.
00:12:26It's mine.
00:12:33God, Fernanda was supposed to be off a half hour ago.
00:12:35Where is she?
00:12:38Screw it.
00:12:40I'm coming up.
00:12:40You fucking asshole!
00:12:50You fucking asshole!
00:12:53You fucking asshole!
00:12:55Woo!
00:12:57Stop it!
00:12:58You're acting like a child.
00:12:59As if you never saw this coming.
00:13:02What are you doing kissing this douchebag?
00:13:05Watch your mouth!
00:13:06I can do whatever I want.
00:13:08With whoever I want.
00:13:11You bastard.
00:13:13She's...
00:13:14Eric, you and me are over.
00:13:32Fernanda, are you serious?
00:13:34That pathetic piece of crap had the nerve to mess up your shirt.
00:13:39Why are you doing this?
00:13:40Eric, I told you we're done!
00:13:42Why would I waste my time with an unemployed loser like you?
00:13:46Keep it.
00:14:02At least you'll have something to jerk off to.
00:14:05Oh, damn.
00:14:07Yeah, so, I'm Rich.
00:14:10I'm Hanson.
00:14:12And you, you're an unemployed loser.
00:14:14Let's go home and beat your meat, man.
00:14:20Fernanda, you're the reason I even stayed at Dorsach.
00:14:23Shut up!
00:14:24Who knows what kind of lies you told to get the job anyway?
00:14:28We're done.
00:14:33You're gonna pay for this.
00:14:35Hold it.
00:14:36You're in trouble now, bitch.
00:14:44And you are?
00:14:51It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Dorsey.
00:14:53I'm here to report that under my guidance, our systems are back up and running normally.
00:14:58You're Eric Martin!
00:15:00I am.
00:15:02You can see why my father spoke so highly of you.
00:15:04Idiots.
00:15:05Do they really not know I'm taking credit for that loser Eric's work?
00:15:08Whatever.
00:15:09As long as the boss's son likes me, I can keep climbing the ladder.
00:15:14Mr. Dorsey, I know the asshole who tried to sabotage our company.
00:15:19Right after you were fired, the system crashed.
00:15:23There's reason to believe that this was your attempt at revenge.
00:15:27Boss, good news.
00:15:40Eric Martin, that tech whiz you had on your radar, he just left Dorsey Tech.
00:15:44He did?
00:15:45Mm-hmm.
00:15:45It happened ten minutes ago.
00:15:47He was fired by the CEO's son, William.
00:15:49Ha!
00:15:51Ah, that's hilarious.
00:15:52I want to see the look on that old hag, Asher Dorsey's face, when he realizes that the
00:15:57genius he recruited just got sacked by his idiot son.
00:16:01But Boss Hendrix Tech is just a mid-level startup.
00:16:04Will someone as talented as him really want to join us?
00:16:07We have to get him on our side by any means necessary.
00:16:13You have no idea how groundbreaking his work in AI modeling is.
00:16:18Get the car ready.
00:16:19I'm going to the Dorsey office, and Eric is mine.
00:16:31Revenge.
00:16:32What the hell are you talking about?
00:16:34Don't play dumb.
00:16:36The system's crashed right after you got fired.
00:16:39This couldn't have been a coincidence, yet you still deny it.
00:16:43Bullshit.
00:16:44You guys have always looked down at me as some nobody maintenance worker.
00:16:47Now you're going to blame me when the server gets hacked.
00:16:51None of you idiots have any shred of common sense.
00:16:54If you had a common sense, you'd have a job.
00:16:57I'm not going to argue with you in front of Mr. Dorsey.
00:17:02What the hell are you trying to do?
00:17:03You either tell them the truth or they're going to take you to the police station.
00:17:06Eric, I had no idea you were such a vengeful person.
00:17:10What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?
00:17:12Better come clean now or you're going to jail.
00:17:17All right.
00:17:20What are you waiting for?
00:17:22Arrest me.
00:17:24Let's see if you have any real evidence.
00:17:26What are you doing, man?
00:17:31We don't got handcuffs.
00:17:34Really?
00:17:34Without a shred of remorse?
00:17:37Don't you know that Mr. Dorsey's going to make your life a living hell?
00:17:41Mr. Dorsey, the way I see it, you should teach this asshole a lesson.
00:17:45Yeah, William.
00:17:46A scumbag like him should never get away with this.
00:17:50No, no.
00:17:51From this day on, Eric Martin is now blacklisted from Dorsey Tech and all of its industry partners.
00:18:03You know what this means, Derek?
00:18:05You're now kicked out of Silicon Valley, bro.
00:18:08I just have one question.
00:18:14Does Asher, the CEO, know that I've been fired?
00:18:19Why should the CEO be bothered with firing a loser like you?
00:18:23You thought you were real hot shit, didn't you?
00:18:27Boys, second to the police.
00:18:29Yes, sir.
00:18:30Stop right there.
00:18:31Stop right there.
00:18:31Stop right there.
00:18:33Stop right there.
00:18:35Stop right there.
00:18:37There'll be no need to take him away.
00:18:44He's joining Hendrix Tech.
00:18:50He's joining Hendrix Tech.
00:18:52Well, I recognize you.
00:18:55You're Evelyn Hendrix, CEO of Hendrix Tech.
00:19:00Evelyn, what 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?
00:19:08A dummy like you went to college with her?
00:19:11So is this how Dorsey Tech treats its former employees?
00:19:14I would have expected better from you.
00:19:17Miss Hendrix, I...
00:19:18These are high-level conversations between company CEOs.
00:19:22Someone of your rank should know when to shut her mouth.
00:19:25Miss Hendrix.
00:19:26This prick, Eric, has severely...
00:19:29I'm sorry.
00:19:30Who are you?
00:19:32I...
00:19:33I'm, uh...
00:19:34Yeah, I don't really have time to listen to your jabbering.
00:19:36Oh, my God.
00:19:37Okay, look.
00:19:37Right after I fired this imbecile, our company server crashed.
00:19:41He clearly hacked into our system.
00:19:42His actions have had serious consequences for our company.
00:19:46So, yeah, man.
00:19:47I don't understand why you're challenging me for exposing a cyber criminal.
00:19:50Did you really not ask your father about who Eric is?
00:19:56Of course, I asked my father.
00:20:01He said that Eric's some kind of slacker who cheated his way into the company.
00:20:08Slacker?
00:20:10Is that really what Asher said?
00:20:12Word for word.
00:20:14He said,
00:20:14Fire this loser as soon as you get the chance.
00:20:20Asher met with me multiple times
00:20:22And begged for me to come join Dorsey Tech.
00:20:26It doesn't make sense that he would change his mind like this.
00:20:28Don't take me a break, Eric.
00:20:30The boss wouldn't waste his precious time recruiting someone like you.
00:20:35Fine.
00:20:36If that's how it's gonna be,
00:20:38then there's nothing left to say to you.
00:20:41Or Dorsey Tech.
00:20:44Eric,
00:20:45how would you feel about coming over to Hendrix Tech?
00:20:50Oh.
00:20:50You'll be a principal shareholder
00:20:54and you'll also have a salary of 4 million per year.
00:20:57I want to make you our lead software engineer.
00:21:10I'm sorry,
00:21:11a principal shareholder?
00:21:134 million dollars salary?
00:21:16Miss Hendrix,
00:21:16you're giving him a lot.
00:21:18I mean,
00:21:18you're out of your damn mind.
00:21:19This woman's got to screw loose.
00:21:21You know he was just a maintenance worker at Dorsey Tech, right?
00:21:24And now you want to make him a millionaire?
00:21:29Look, Evelyn,
00:21:30I know you're trying to help,
00:21:32but I don't want the money.
00:21:34Then,
00:21:35would this
00:21:37sweeten the blue?
00:21:38Are you kidding me?
00:21:41This is insane!
00:21:43If you join Hendrix Tech,
00:21:45you can have
00:21:46anything you want.
00:21:49Including me.
00:21:50Okay, uh, look,
00:21:54Miss Hendrix,
00:21:55you're a self-made woman,
00:21:56which I respect,
00:21:57so for your own good,
00:21:58let me remind you
00:21:59that this loser
00:22:00that you set your mind on
00:22:01is some dick
00:22:02who loves to slack on the job.
00:22:04My father said it himself.
00:22:06Okay.
00:22:08All right.
00:22:10Wow.
00:22:11What's all that?
00:22:22See,
00:22:23that
00:22:24would be all the things
00:22:25your father gave me.
00:22:27The car,
00:22:28the money,
00:22:30my relationship.
00:22:31See,
00:22:32they're all yours now.
00:22:34You can tell Asher
00:22:35that from this day forward,
00:22:36I,
00:22:37Eric Martin,
00:22:38would formally be
00:22:39severing my ties
00:22:40with Dorsey Tech.
00:22:42Quit it with the self-pity.
00:22:44You didn't deserve
00:22:45those things to begin with.
00:22:46It's right that you
00:22:47returned them.
00:22:49You guys are shameless.
00:22:51You don't even see
00:22:52your employees
00:22:53as human beings.
00:22:56Miss Hendrix,
00:22:58I know that you
00:22:58and Dorsey Tech
00:22:59are competitors.
00:23:01Yes, but
00:23:01to be honest,
00:23:02right now we're actually
00:23:03struggling to compete
00:23:04with them.
00:23:06Don't worry.
00:23:09I can help change that.
00:23:13I can help change that.
00:23:15Look at yourself,
00:23:16Eric.
00:23:17Offering to work
00:23:18for a smaller company.
00:23:19What a joke.
00:23:22I'm sorry,
00:23:23a traitor like you
00:23:24doesn't have the right
00:23:25to judge others.
00:23:27How dare you?
00:23:28The breach
00:23:28of the company's server
00:23:29has caused
00:23:30major damage.
00:23:31As the perpetrator
00:23:32of this attack,
00:23:33I demand you
00:23:34to issue an apology
00:23:35to Dorsey Tech
00:23:36and all of its customers.
00:23:38And if you don't,
00:23:39I'll have to
00:23:40brace charges.
00:23:41Okay.
00:23:42Good luck with that.
00:23:44What are you
00:23:45going to do about it?
00:23:46You have no choice
00:23:47but to issue
00:23:48that apology.
00:23:49Stop threatening
00:23:50my employee.
00:23:52If you insist
00:23:52on escalating this,
00:23:54then send a demand letter
00:23:55to Hendrix Tech
00:23:55and we'll see it
00:23:56as a declaration of war.
00:24:00Well, if war is what you want,
00:24:01that's what you'll get.
00:24:02You know what?
00:24:08You know what?
00:24:16Let's go.
00:24:18I'd be sick
00:24:18if I stay another second
00:24:19in this shithole.
00:24:29Mr. Dorsey,
00:24:30don't waste time
00:24:31with those people.
00:24:32Eric,
00:24:33you've done well.
00:24:35I'm going to assign you
00:24:36the role of lead engineer.
00:24:40That's amazing, sir.
00:24:43Uh,
00:24:43what about me, darling?
00:24:46Oh, don't worry, my dear.
00:24:48I'll make sure
00:24:49that you're satisfied.
00:24:51Ew, gross.
00:24:53I won't let you down.
00:24:55Good.
00:24:56Tell me,
00:24:57how did you resolve
00:24:57the system's crash?
00:24:59Oh, uh,
00:25:01fuck.
00:25:01The 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
00:25:08to get the server
00:25:09back up and running.
00:25:10I can explain it to you
00:25:11in detail later.
00:25:13Spoken like a true visionary.
00:25:15Man's even got his own code.
00:25:17You know what?
00:25:18Don't even bother
00:25:18showing it to me.
00:25:19I'm sure it's exquisite.
00:25:22Keep working your magic, buddy.
00:25:23With you on my team,
00:25:25I can relax.
00:25:26Thank you, sir.
00:25:27Thank you, sir.
00:25:27Mm-hmm.
00:25:29Let's go.
00:25:34Say hello
00:25:35to Dorsey Tech's
00:25:36new lead engineer.
00:25:38Let's see if anyone
00:25:39looks down on me now.
00:25:48Hello?
00:25:49Hi, Mr. Dorsey.
00:25:51It's Evelyn Hendricks.
00:25:53I'm just going to inform you
00:25:55that as of today,
00:25:56Hendricks Tech has a force
00:25:57in the AI development race.
00:26:01AI development
00:26:02is the crown jewel
00:26:04of Dorsey Tech.
00:26:05Are you sure
00:26:06you want to challenge us?
00:26:07As I said,
00:26:09I'm just calling
00:26:10to inform you
00:26:11not to have a discussion.
00:26:13Hang on a minute.
00:26:16That's good.
00:26:24What's that
00:26:24sly fox up to?
00:26:27She knows
00:26:27I have my lethal weapon,
00:26:29Eric,
00:26:29so why would she
00:26:30want to go to war
00:26:31with me?
00:26:36Unless...
00:26:37Dad,
00:26:48what's up?
00:26:49Tell me you didn't
00:26:49fire Eric.
00:26:53Uh, okay.
00:26:54Um, just...
00:26:55just calm down
00:26:55just for a second.
00:26:57I only fired
00:26:58the slacker
00:26:58you told me about.
00:26:59Okay, then explain
00:27:00to me why Hendricks Tech
00:27:01is suddenly wanting
00:27:03to go to war with us.
00:27:05Well, I...
00:27:06I just tricked her
00:27:07into thinking
00:27:08that she had a chance.
00:27:09I mean,
00:27:10I'm not an idiot.
00:27:12There's no way
00:27:12I would let
00:27:13some lousy slacker
00:27:14bring down
00:27:15our entire server
00:27:16single-handedly.
00:27:17But I got Evelyn to believe
00:27:19that Eric really did it.
00:27:20She thinks she hit
00:27:21the jackpot,
00:27:22but really she's
00:27:23just picking up
00:27:24our trash.
00:27:25So you intentionally
00:27:26misled Evelyn?
00:27:29She's under the impression
00:27:30that the loser
00:27:30she poached from us
00:27:32is the mastermind
00:27:33behind Dorsey Tech's
00:27:34AI modeling.
00:27:35That's why she had
00:27:36the guts to declare war.
00:27:37Nice job, son.
00:27:39That shows real initiative.
00:27:40I think it's time
00:27:42you take full control
00:27:44of our next-gen
00:27:45AI modeling project.
00:27:48R-really?
00:27:51Dad, thank you.
00:27:53Thank you so much.
00:27:55Now get to work.
00:27:56We are going to make
00:27:58Hendricks Tech
00:27:58the laughing stock
00:28:00of the whole industry.
00:28:02All right.
00:28:04Bye-bye.
00:28:05I love you.
00:28:10Sir, AI modeling
00:28:11is the future
00:28:12of Dorsey Tech.
00:28:14William just graduated.
00:28:17You sure you want
00:28:17to hand the reins over
00:28:18to him this soon?
00:28:19I'd not have given it
00:28:19to him if he was
00:28:20the only one
00:28:20we were counting on.
00:28:21Don't forget,
00:28:22we still have
00:28:24our ace in the hole.
00:28:27You mean Eric Martin?
00:28:30That's right.
00:28:32All I have to do
00:28:33is stay hands-off
00:28:34and let him do
00:28:34what he does best.
00:28:36As long as we have Eric,
00:28:38Hendricks has
00:28:39a snowball's chance in hell.
00:28:41Plus, Evelyn fell
00:28:43for William's bluff
00:28:44and hired that clown, Eric.
00:28:47Now all we have to do
00:28:49is sit back
00:28:49and watch her self-destruct.
00:28:53Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:29:02So, now that you've seen
00:29:06the engineering department,
00:29:08what are your thoughts?
00:29:09It's not bad.
00:29:11Small group,
00:29:12but they're talented.
00:29:13All we need is
00:29:14a few programmers
00:29:15with specialized knowledge
00:29:17in the field of AI.
00:29:19Precisely.
00:29:20So,
00:29:21is there any chance
00:29:22that our lead engineer,
00:29:24Mr. Martin,
00:29:25could put together a team?
00:29:26I heard that you weren't
00:29:29the only one
00:29:29that William Dorsey fired.
00:29:33You've got it all figured out,
00:29:34don't you?
00:29:36All right.
00:29:37Give me a minute.
00:29:39I'll call the guys.
00:29:40Great.
00:29:42Welcome.
00:29:42Come in.
00:29:50Mr. Dorsey,
00:29:51you wanted to see me?
00:29:52Yes.
00:29:54My father has just put me
00:29:57in charge of our AI
00:29:58modeling projects.
00:30:00Seeing as your lead engineer,
00:30:01I'm putting you
00:30:01in charge of development.
00:30:04I, uh,
00:30:05sir.
00:30:08Is there a problem?
00:30:11No, not at all.
00:30:12Don't worry.
00:30:15I'm the right man
00:30:15for the job.
00:30:20Yes?
00:30:22William,
00:30:23there's been another crisis.
00:30:25Several key employees
00:30:25from the tech department
00:30:26have resigned.
00:30:27The department
00:30:27can't function like this.
00:30:29What?
00:30:30They just left?
00:30:31Why?
00:30:32They wouldn't say,
00:30:33but rumor has it
00:30:34they were poached
00:30:35by a former employee.
00:30:37Poached by a former...
00:30:38Fucking Eric Martin.
00:30:40William,
00:30:41what should we do?
00:30:42There's hardly any
00:30:42tech workers left.
00:30:43If anyone else resigns,
00:30:44we're done for.
00:30:45There's no need to freak out.
00:30:47You still have me.
00:30:48I can fix this.
00:30:50Yes.
00:30:51No,
00:30:51with you here,
00:30:52we're gonna be all right.
00:30:54What's your solution?
00:30:55Look,
00:30:56we lost a few
00:30:57expendable employees.
00:30:58That's it.
00:30:59Let them walk.
00:31:01We'll get better ones.
00:31:02I'll make a few calls.
00:31:03Yes.
00:31:03I like that.
00:31:10I like that.
00:31:12Yes.
00:31:14Oh!
00:31:14Fucking Eric Martin.
00:31:15Oh, oh!
00:31:17This is all going swimmingly.
00:31:19Now I can put my own people
00:31:21in key positions.
00:31:22Soon,
00:31:22I'll have the whole company
00:31:23under my thumb.
00:31:24Johnny is an excellent programmer.
00:31:30He'll be assuming the role
00:31:31of department head.
00:31:32And this is Ruby,
00:31:34Leon,
00:31:34and Mateo.
00:31:35They're professional
00:31:36and reliable
00:31:37former coworkers of mine.
00:31:39With this team,
00:31:40Hendrix Tech's AI work
00:31:41will be in good hands.
00:31:43We're all pleased to meet you.
00:31:44Have a look.
00:31:44Welcome, everyone.
00:31:47It's great to have you
00:31:47all on board.
00:31:48But I do want to warn you
00:31:50that there is
00:31:51lots of work to do.
00:31:52We have a ways to go
00:31:53if we want to compete
00:31:54with Dorsey Tech.
00:31:55With Eric at the helm,
00:31:57we'll always be
00:31:58one step ahead.
00:31:59But Dorsey Tech
00:32:00has already developed
00:32:01their own AI program.
00:32:04That?
00:32:05It's a trial version.
00:32:07If they keep developing
00:32:09based on that model,
00:32:09then...
00:32:10Then what?
00:32:12Then we won't have
00:32:14to lift a finger.
00:32:24We used our experience
00:32:26on the trial version
00:32:27to build a next-gen
00:32:28AI neural net,
00:32:29patching up the previous
00:32:30loopholes and weaknesses.
00:32:32Even if Dorsey Tech
00:32:33analyzes the trial version
00:32:35framework and builds
00:32:36a brand new platform,
00:32:37we'll still have
00:32:38the upper hand.
00:32:39And if they keep building
00:32:40based on the old trial version,
00:32:42then we can just sit back
00:32:43and watch them fail.
00:32:44Mark my words,
00:32:46in this battle for dominance,
00:32:47Hendrix Tech
00:32:48is destined for victory.
00:33:003 a.m. again.
00:33:01Okay, okay, okay.
00:33:10Uh, Miss Hendrix, hey.
00:33:13Come on, we're all alone here.
00:33:16Call me Evelyn.
00:33:17Are you always this way
00:33:20towards people
00:33:20who are crushing on you?
00:33:24Crushing on me?
00:33:25You still can't tell.
00:33:28Eric, I like you.
00:33:32I've felt this way
00:33:33since college.
00:33:39You were the prettiest girl
00:33:41on campus.
00:33:42I...
00:33:43I didn't think you'd go
00:33:45for a guy like me.
00:33:45I've never had my sight
00:33:48set on anyone else.
00:33:50Only you.
00:33:51But you were so oblivious.
00:33:54And when I finally
00:33:55got the courage
00:33:56to tell you how I felt,
00:33:58you disappeared.
00:33:59I went abroad
00:34:00to work on a
00:34:01top secret trading project.
00:34:04I know.
00:34:05You've always been
00:34:07so brilliant.
00:34:09Back then, I...
00:34:10I made up my mind
00:34:12I was going to be
00:34:13with you one day.
00:34:17Evelyn, I...
00:34:18And when I founded
00:34:19Hendrix Tech,
00:34:20I wanted to recruit you,
00:34:22but that sneaky bastard,
00:34:24Asher Dorsey,
00:34:25he already had
00:34:26snatched you up.
00:34:28I...
00:34:29I see, um...
00:34:32So,
00:34:34if I came closer
00:34:36to you now,
00:34:38would you mind?
00:34:39Uh...
00:34:42I, uh...
00:34:43I...
00:34:44I should, uh...
00:34:46Uh...
00:34:48It's late.
00:34:50I should probably, uh...
00:34:51be going.
00:34:52Where are you gonna go?
00:34:55You lost everything
00:34:56when you left Dorsey Tech.
00:34:58You kind of have
00:35:00nowhere to go now.
00:35:07Evelyn, uh...
00:35:08Let's go.
00:35:13Go where?
00:35:15I'm taking you home.
00:35:24This is it?
00:35:27From now until
00:35:28the AI project is finished,
00:35:30you'll be staying with me.
00:35:32For that long?
00:35:34You sure that's a good idea?
00:35:36I'm your boss, remember.
00:35:37It'll make it easier
00:35:39for me to, um...
00:35:40supervise you.
00:35:43Okay, um...
00:35:44Well...
00:35:45Where am I gonna sleep?
00:35:48Uh...
00:35:49Well, I only have
00:35:50one bedroom, so...
00:35:52You're gonna have to
00:35:53share a bed with me.
00:35:55Oh, uh...
00:35:55Uh...
00:35:57No, that's...
00:35:58Maybe we probably shouldn't, um...
00:36:00I'm messing with you.
00:36:03My place is huge.
00:36:04At least as big as
00:36:05wherever Dorsey had you.
00:36:06Come on.
00:36:07I'll show you your room.
00:36:10Okay.
00:36:10This is what you've got?
00:36:15You're fucking useless!
00:36:17Sir, the modeling framework
00:36:19we're working with
00:36:20is extremely complex.
00:36:21We'll need at least
00:36:22another month
00:36:23to fully
00:36:24understand it.
00:36:25A month?
00:36:30Not a chance!
00:36:32I am gonna give you
00:36:33three days
00:36:34and I want
00:36:35consistent progress reports.
00:36:37Sir, if we have to
00:36:37rush things,
00:36:38there'll be an increased
00:36:38risk for error.
00:36:39Then you have to
00:36:40work faster
00:36:41and smarter.
00:36:42I'm giving you
00:36:43three days!
00:36:45Eric!
00:36:46Mr. Dorsey!
00:36:47How are things?
00:36:48You dropped your keyboard.
00:36:51Oh.
00:36:52Get back to work.
00:36:55Mr. Dorsey,
00:36:56things are going great.
00:36:58We'll be on stage two
00:36:59in three more days.
00:37:01That's good to hear.
00:37:02You know,
00:37:03I knew I could
00:37:03trust you with this.
00:37:10William,
00:37:10update me on
00:37:11the AI project.
00:37:12Don't sweat it, Dad.
00:37:14Everything's going
00:37:14according to plan.
00:37:16Wonderful.
00:37:16When our new platform
00:37:18hits the market,
00:37:18I'll stop by
00:37:19to congratulate you.
00:37:22Your father must
00:37:23be so proud of you.
00:37:25Keep it up.
00:37:26Once we hit the market,
00:37:27I'll be sure to let
00:37:28my father know
00:37:28how valuable
00:37:29you've been to us.
00:37:30That's exactly
00:37:31what I need.
00:37:32Who wants to be
00:37:32just department head?
00:37:34If I can keep
00:37:35rising the ranks,
00:37:35I'll be the next
00:37:36vice president
00:37:37of Dorsey Tech.
00:37:38Mr. Dorsey,
00:37:40my job is to put
00:37:41the plans of expert
00:37:42strategists like yourself
00:37:44into action.
00:37:45I believe that if
00:37:46I were the vice
00:37:47president of this
00:37:47company,
00:37:48I could do that
00:37:49even more effectively.
00:37:51If this project
00:37:51does well,
00:37:52I'll see what
00:37:53I can do for you.
00:37:54Really?
00:37:54That's great.
00:37:55Thank you so much,
00:37:56sir.
00:38:12You're up.
00:38:13Come on.
00:38:23You can keep
00:38:23staring at me
00:38:24over breakfast.
00:38:29Right.

00:38:42with breakfast,
00:38:43it's straight to work.
00:38:44Got it?
00:38:46Yeah.
00:38:47Of course.
00:38:49Good.
00:38:51And when you're
00:38:52finished with your
00:38:53project,
00:38:56I have a reward
00:38:57waiting.
00:38:58All right, team.
00:39:13We have an important
00:39:14sprint coming up.
00:39:15We have a lot to do
00:39:16and not a lot of time.
00:39:18So let's get to business.
00:39:21And some good news
00:39:22for you guys.

00:39:31All right.
00:39:32Awesome.
00:39:33Cool.
00:39:35On top of that,
00:39:36when we go public,
00:39:37you will be receiving
00:39:38a bonus as well as
00:39:39a share in our
00:39:40product revenue.
00:39:40Oh, yes.
00:39:42Here at Hendrix,
00:39:43our employees are
00:39:44instrumental in our
00:39:45success and you

00:39:47as such.
00:39:48We're ready to make
00:39:51it happen,
00:39:51Ms. Hendrix.
00:39:52Oh, amen.
00:39:53Ms. Hendrix,
00:39:54we will have good news
00:39:55for you soon.
00:39:56Yeah, the news
00:39:57that we beat Dorsey
00:39:57Tech.
00:39:58And with Erica on
00:39:59our side,
00:40:00we can't lose.
00:40:02Beat Dorsey.
00:40:03Beat Dorsey.
00:40:05Beat Dorsey.
00:40:07Beat Dorsey.
00:40:08Beat Dorsey.
00:40:09Beat Dorsey.
00:40:11Beat Dorsey.
00:40:12Beat Dorsey.
00:40:18Beat Dorsey.
00:40:48You're hopeless, both of you!
00:41:05Sir, I...
00:41:06Don't speak without my permission.
00:41:09I give you a simple task, and repeatedly you keep screwing it up!
00:41:14How 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.
00:41:34Dad didn't tell me this Eric guy had such a hot temper.
00:41:37And didn't Eric say everything was going fine?
00:41:40Was I wrong to trust him?
00:41:42Mr. Dorsey, what are you doing here?
00:41:53Tell me the truth.
00:41:54Are we on track to make the deadline or not?
00:41:56I can assure you we're doing fine.
00:41:58We're just adding a few finishing touches, so, uh, things are a bit hectic.
00:42:02Hm.
00:42:03Good.
00:42:04Well, don't be afraid to ask any questions, okay?
00:42:07Don't want any slip-ups.
00:42:08Got it?
00:42:09Alright.
00:42:10Darling.
00:42:11No, no, no, no, get me the reports and ask for them.
00:42:25Let's see where you'd be without your daddy's money, you little shit.
00:42:28What the fuck are you looking at?
00:42:31Get back to work!
00:42:32And this time, I want results!
00:42:35Miss Hendrix, I've just been informed that Dorsey Tech's next-gen AI platform is nearing completion.
00:42:48It's just a matter of time before it hits the market.
00:42:50Really?
00:42:51That fast?
00:42:52Well, there's a cocktail party three days from now.
00:42:55Dorsey's gonna be there announcing their new product and pitching to investors.
00:42:59They're taking things to the next level.
00:43:01That William Dorsey is really milking all his connections.
00:43:05If this goes well for them, we're gonna be in a difficult spot.
00:43:08Well, that much is obvious, but I don't-
00:43:10Good thing we're finished, too.
00:43:12What?
00:43:13Really?
00:43:14Why would I lie?
00:43:16We've been right on pace with Dorsey this whole time.
00:43:19Plus, the sooner they want to go public, the easier it'll be for us.
00:43:23Why would it be better for us?
00:43:27Evelyn, remember what I told you when I first came on board?
00:43:31Like Dorsey Tech has already developed their own AI program.
00:43:36That?
00:43:38It's a trial version.
00:43:40If they keep developing based on that model, then-
00:43:43Then what?
00:43:46Then we won't have to lift a finger.
00:43:56Hmm.
00:43:57So, what you're saying is that Dorsey Tech has been building off of the trial version that you made?
00:44:03It's the only way they could have built it so fast.
00:44:05It's a rough draft with a whole mess of flaws I wouldn't make a second time.
00:44:08Evelyn, there's nothing for us to worry about.
00:44:12That does make sense.
00:44:14Well then, good.
00:44:16I'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. Hendrix.
00:44:27This is a big day for us.
00:44:32Why don't we end it with a drink?
00:44:37Aren't you a lightweight?
00:44:42Who said that?
00:44:45I can handle my liquor, Eric Martin.
00:44:48I knew you could be fun.
00:45:03I knew it.
00:45:04I told you.
00:45:05See, that's why that last drink was a bad idea.
00:45:10It was a good idea and I could have had at least two more.
00:45:15Yeah.
00:45:16Yeah, no, you absolutely could.
00:45:18Definitely.
00:45:19You think that you are wild.
00:45:22Okay.
00:45:23No.
00:45:24No.
00:45:25Very good.
00:45:26See, how are we picking?
00:45:28Super easy.
00:45:30Eric, now do you believe I want a guy like you?
00:45:40Maybe you should want to sober up a lot.
00:45:53I'm sober enough.
00:45:57And what I want is you.
00:46:10William, 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!
00:46:26Where are you?
00:46:27Everyone's out here celebrating and you're a no-show.
00:46:32What a buzz kill.
00:46:34I'm coming.
00:46:36Nah, that's all right.
00:46:38You know, everyone's...
00:46:39Everyone's leaving.
00:46:40Don't bother.
00:46:41Bye!
00:46:47Hey.
00:46:48Hey.
00:46:49Where'd you go?
00:46:50I 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 me.
00:47:07I'd like that.
00:47:08What?
00:47:09Mm-hmm.
00:47:10Ugh!
00:47:11You're so much hotter than that bitch Fernanda.
00:47:12You're just a climber who hops from her ex over to me.
00:47:15You 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!
00:47:21How could you do this to me?
00:47:26You know, she...
00:47:27The funny thing is, is she thinks I actually love her.
00:47:30I bagged a hundred babes that are better than her.
00:47:33She's delusional.
00:47:36Ugh.
00:47:37How pathetic.
00:47:38Probably just broke up with her boyfriend or something.
00:47:45Yeah, who gives a shit?
00:47:47You know, I'm gonna break up with Fernanda soon, too.
00:47:50And I'll be waiting for you.
00:47:52Daddy.
00:47:53Oh.
00:47:54Shit.
00:47:55Goddammit!
00:47:56What have I done?
00:47:57It's going to be so awkward at work now.
00:47:58And I didn't even get the chance to propose to William.
00:48:00Goddammit!
00:48:01What have I done?
00:48:02Eric.
00:48:03It's so cold.
00:48:04Eric.
00:48:05It's so cold.
00:48:06Eric.
00:48:07It's so cold.
00:48:08Eric.
00:48:09I'm sorry.
00:48:10No.
00:48:11No.
00:48:12No.
00:48:13No.
00:48:14I'm sorry.
00:48:15Don't even think of any thoughts just like me.
00:48:17Can't cry.
00:48:18And I'm sorry, I could build and talk unkempt of her and get scared of a death.
00:48:23Oh.
00:48:24Did you say no shit?
00:48:37This has been awhile.
00:48:39It's fine.
00:48:46I already saw everything last night anyway.
00:48:53How do I look?
00:48:55Um, beautiful.
00:49:01Come on, get up.
00:49:03I have your suit ready, too.
00:49:06Where are we going?
00:49:07Where else?
00:49:09We're going to go crash Dorsey Tech's little cocktail party.
00:49:12What are you doing hiding over here?
00:49:38I told you you're here as my girlfriend.
00:49:42We have to look the part.
00:49:44Mr. Dorsey, with money like yours, there must be plenty of other girlfriends you can call.
00:49:52Okay.
00:49:52What's got on with 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.
00:50:01Drunk words are sober thoughts.
00:50:03Okay.
00:50:03Mr. 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.
00:50:15Cheers.
00:50:16Cheers.
00:50:16Cheers.
00:50:30Let's have a thank you.
00:50:34Let's have a thank you.
00:50:36Give me a break.
00:50:42Cheers.
00:50:45Cheers.
00:50:46well well well it isn't that little rat i fired from dorsey tech
00:50:55miss hendrix i see you've taken quite a liking to uh this loser an idiot right here why wouldn't
00:51:05i like eric he's a tech genius and the brains behind our new ai platform firing him was your loss
00:51:16okay thanks to mr dorsey's leadership and my fearless efforts dorsey tech ai platform is now
00:51:24reaching the market you talk a big game but the only reason why you're here is to ride our coattails
00:51:31oh so what's uh really funny about that is that we're about to release our own ai platform
00:51:42oh is that so hmm well you frauds don't have a shot against us how much overtime did you use
00:51:49to make a platform that no one's gonna use burn dude you hear that yeah i would say our monopoly
00:51:57on the tech industry is secure so miss hendrix why don't you go on that little love train
00:52:03straight to bankruptcy we'll see which product no one wants to use wow jesus eric didn't we like
00:52:12just break up look at you i already head over heels for another woman excuse me what's up talk to me
00:52:24um do you have any idea where i am what uh the server crashed
00:52:30okay yep okay yep um what the fuck server crashed i'll make a call yeah make a call it'll be fixed
00:52:41in a minute yeah that's um wow he's got it yeah yeah he's got it use the amelioration algorithm
00:52:49yes do it amelioration algorithm that's what i call the code i saved in my tablet but it's only
00:52:57for emergencies everyone solved the core problem wait did eric steal my tablet another server crash
00:53:04huh if your systems are so unpredictable you sure people are gonna trust your new product
00:53:10uh yeah this doesn't concern you at all uh what's up man we figured out yeah got it fixed
00:53:18no big deal no big deal no big deal wait did you just say the company's server crashes no big deal
00:53:28this is an internal affair sure and you were driven out so i would keep your mouth shut the amelioration
00:53:37algorithm is for emergencies only it won't address the core issues so the concurrency bug will just lead
00:53:43to more data corruption and more system crashes such a new mistake if you understood code you'd know
00:53:49that oh my god if you would understand code you wouldn't dude like seriously do you hear yourself
00:53:55what do you know take your bullshit theories somewhere else please man right what do i know
00:54:03i wrote the amelioration algorithm what did you just say
00:54:07i wrote the amelioration algorithm i'm in hr and the boss still didn't tell me about the mysterious
00:54:17tech genius he hired was it really eric all along oh what have i done shut up what mr dorsey you can't
00:54:26believe a word they say they are our competitors right believe whatever you want what a dumpster fire
00:54:34let's go honey yeah oh my god did you just call him honey
00:54:41yeah so back when i recruited eric i made the terms very clear i told him he could have whatever he
00:54:49wanted including me i'm not like some people ignoring talents and abusing their trust what
00:54:56i have an image to maintain
00:55:01yes of course
00:55:05so what you're saying is
00:55:17it's not that i don't respect hendrick's tech dorsey is less an investment risk and they have
00:55:23greater potential i can't justify choosing your product over theirs mr brown we're a risk worth
00:55:29taking once you see our ai platform i guarantee you'll want to reconsider bravo bravo it was quite
00:55:39an inspiring sales pitch
00:55:42you must be mr dorsey's son it's a great pleasure
00:55:46this hendrickson and i were just having a little chat naturally i'll still be investing in dorsey tech
00:55:51right yeah so um if you're here chasing investments i would suggest you just give up and go home with us here you won't get a red cent from these guys that's right over ninety percent of the guests here have already invested in our new ai tech program best get out while you still can i'm afraid they're right we've already spent our investment money in promoting dorsey's new ai platform so and i can assure you that any investment you've made
00:55:57will not be wasted and your money will be paid back will not be wasted and your money will not be wasted and your money will be paid back in tenfold
00:56:04at dorsey tech we treat our partner and go home and go home and go home with us here you won't get a red cent from these guys that's right over ninety percent of the guests here have already invested in our new ai tech program

01:00:29god damn dude
01:00:31what the fuck is going on
01:00:36mr martin

01:00:40then 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
01:00:47what 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

01:01:15sir he was the one
01:01:16i didn't do shit
01:01:17shut your mouth go
01:01:18the 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
01:01:37it's completely unfixable

01:02:52i've had enough of your bullshit
01:02:54you fired half the bloody tech departments
01:02:56What 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're using my promotion as bait.
01:03:05You are 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. Me too.
01:03:18See, when you fired everyone, I replaced them with my people.
01:03:25Go ahead, fire me. You'll clear out your whole tech department.
01:03:29You will sink Dorsey Tech.
01:03:32You were never the prized tech genius at Dorsey Tech.
01:03:35You were the slacker my father warned me about.
01:03:38William!
01:03:42William!
01:03:46I'm ashamed to call you my son.
01:03:50What the hell have you done to my company?
01:03:54Dad, I'm sorry.
01:03:57I'm not here for apologies.
01:04:02What the hell is this idiot doing here?
01:04:04I thought you fired him.
01:04:06Where's Eric?
01:04:08Dad, I fired Eric.
01:04:11You fired him?
01:04:14Was that a mistake?
01:04:17Dad, are you okay?
01:04:21Hey, are you okay?
01:04:23I busted my fucking balls to get Eric to Dorsey Tech.
01:04:29He was the backbone behind this company.
01:04:34And what did you do?
01:04:36You fired him!
01:04:38So, 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.
01:04:53Um, Eric is at Hendrix Tech.
01:04:58You are a sorry excuse for a son!
01:05:04You are destroying my company!
01:05:07Sir, bad 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.
01:05:35No, no, this isn't my fault.
01:05:38It was Eric's fault.
01:05:39Eric with a K.
01:05:40It was his code that was faulty.
01:05:42No, that's fucking bullshit.
01:05:43I 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.
01:05:51Everything else was his fault.
01:05:53I wrote the amelioration algorithm.
01:05:57God, I mistook the genius for the loser.
01:06:00I'm not going down like this.
01:06:02Dorsey Tech ain't finished yet.
01:06:05It's not finished yet.
01:06:07Griffin!
01:06:09Take this man to the police.
01:06:11If Dorsey Tech goes under, he'll have to pay for this.
01:06:15Yes, sir.
01:06:17Mr. Brown looks like your contract worked in our favor, so we will not be returning the $5 billion you invested.
01:06:32And again, thank you for your generosity.
01:06:48Wait, do I at least deserve some dividends?
01:06:51Dividends?
01:06:52I'm sorry, Mr. Brown.
01:06:53But the terms you insisted on were very clear.
01:06:56We beat Dorsey Tech, so we owe you nothing.
01:06:59Which includes any dividends you might have otherwise received.
01:07:02What?
01:07:03No.
01:07:04No more buts.
01:07:05Goodbye, Mr. Brown.
01:07:15Tonight, I'll give you that reward I was telling you.
01:07:19Oh, I'm sure it'll be very special.
01:07:23You have no idea.
01:07:26Eric!
01:07:28I know I messed up before.
01:07:32It's all over for Dorsey Tech now.
01:07:35Is there anything you could do to help me?
01:07:39What the hell are you doing grabbing my boyfriend?
01:07:43Boyfriend?
01:07:44That's right.
01:07:46I'm his girlfriend now.
01:07:48We're living together and we're getting married soon, too.
01:07:52You...
01:07:53But...
01:07:54You...
01:07:55You...
01:07:56You can't...
01:07:57No, it's not possible.
01:07:58He was mine first.
01:08:00Hey, you 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...
01:08:13Eric...
01:08:14No.
01:08:15Eric...
01:08:22You're hot when you're bossy.
01:08:24Mm-mm.
01:08:25You like?
01:08:26Yeah.
01:08:27Eric?
01:08:28What now?
01:08:32Eric?
01:08:33What is it now?
01:08:43Eric, you know how much I've done for you.
01:08:47Dorsey Tech is in dire straits.
01:08:52We need your help.
01:08:53Mr. Dorsey, all those things you gave me...
01:08:57I've returned when your son accused me of hacking the company server and demanding compensation.
01:09:04Oh, has he not told you?
01:09:07That is not how it went down at all.
01:09:09It was that dirtbag, Eric with the 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.
01:09:34So, would you please leave our office?
01:09:42Now, would you please leave our office?
01:09:47We wish Dorsey Tech the very best.
01:10:04You fucking doomed us, son!
01:10:10You doomed Dorsey Tech!
01:10:14Dad, dad, dad.
01:10:16Dad?
01:10:17Dad!
01:10:18Dad!
01:10:25So, you're really not gonna help them?
01:10:28They're the ones who fired me.
01:10:30Now they have to live with the outcome.
01:10:33Well, to the sweet taste of victory.
01:10:36To the sweet taste of victory.
