Short filmTranscript
00:00You think I'm a thief? Lucas is right about you.
00:03If anyone is a thief, it's Lucas.
00:05That man has never had an original thought in his life.
00:07That's cute, Raymond.
00:09Is he also sleeping with his assistant, too?
00:11How did I do miss you, Peter?
00:12A girl can't replace her first.
00:14What exactly is Project Phoenix?
00:17Raymond has a nasty habit of taking things that don't belong to him.
00:21I think there may be a problem with the new employee, Octavia.
00:25Earlier today, she mentioned Project Phoenix.
00:30Do you feel like getting some revenge?
00:31I told you I'm your girl.
00:33You definitely, definitely are, but this might not be enough.
00:37I want to make sure you remember this promise.
00:40I'm a software engineer.
00:41There's only been one system I couldn't easily crack.
00:46She thinks she can over Lucas, goddamn Trent!
00:50Fuck!
00:51You certainly do deserve a proposal.
00:54Earn it.
01:00Big CEO vote at the next tech demo.
01:06Who stopped working classes?
01:07Lucas Trent.
01:08He's the CTO of Icarus Tech.
01:10The board will continue to see me and my tech as the superior choice, as always.
01:17And who is Superman?
01:20Raymond Kenworth, CEO and my boss.
01:23This looks like a good time to leave.
01:24Working late, ladies?
01:32What can I get you, hon?
01:36Maybe you can ask your boss if I can work here, too?
01:39Things aren't going well at Icarus Tech.
01:42My boss is at Alpha Perk who thinks a daily quota of 500 lines of code should be the norm.
01:49Maybe I can help.
01:50I know Python, JavaScript, and C++.
01:57I'm done.
01:59My boss would love someone as smart as you.
02:03And he's the most eligible tech bachelor in the world.
02:09Working late, ladies?
02:11Well, before you head out, would you mind settling a debate for us?
02:16Um, we should just go.
02:18So, what was the problem?
02:22Well, who should run this company?
02:24Me?
02:25Calm, elegant, eloquent, superstar, or, uh, muscles over here busting out of his suit?
02:33I mean, the broad shoulders are nice.
02:36Huh.
02:37But maybe the one with the smile should be out front.
02:41Why don't you have a Icarus badge?
02:43I'm fucked.
02:45I'm calling 630.
02:48Uh, that's not necessary.
02:50She's my, uh, new assistant.
02:53You're bringing in new faces?
02:56Seriously?
02:57Now?
02:57Yeah, smart, new, and let's be frank, beautiful faces is exactly what we need in this stuffy office, right?
03:05I'll be filing a complaint with HR first thing tomorrow on the count that you referred to an employee as beautiful.
03:14I didn't mind.
03:14And I know you're aware that I enacted a hiring freeze so that we could bring in some skilled talent.
03:23That is a second violation.
03:25And you, that is your first strike for not wearing your employee badge, which must be visible on your person at all times.
03:35And being new is not an excuse.
03:37I'll take your name, please.
03:39It's Octavia.
03:41Nice to meet you.
03:42Raymond, is it?
03:43It's Mr. Kentworth.
03:44Or sir.
03:45Or just steer clear of me completely.
03:49In fact, let's just leave it at, I don't want to see your face again.
03:55Okay.
03:57Goodbye to you too, Ray Ray.
03:59You guys full of protein shakes.
04:02Sorry, ladies.
04:04Well, this was fun.
04:07It's time we leave.
04:08Uh, yeah, actually, I'd like to speak to my new assistant, though, privately.
04:13Oh, yes, sir.
04:15See you tomorrow.
04:18So, Octavia, we've been together so long already that I forget how it all started.
04:26It all started with me walking out of my waitressing shop and fixing Gracie's code because I'm something of a fantastic coder who has built some mildly infiltrating software in the past.
04:37Well, consider me mildly infiltrated.
04:41How about we get you on my payroll officially?
04:45You don't need my resume, Mr. Trent?
04:47Lucas, and get used to it.
04:50You'll be saying it a lot.
04:51No resume.
04:53I have a good feeling about you.
04:557.40 a.m.
04:57Dress nice.
04:58Because I don't impress easy.
05:04Dress nice.
05:07Oh, dear.
05:08You must be Octavia.
05:21Thank you for coming here from what appears to be that 70s show.
05:25You look so retro.
05:27Yeah.
05:28Threw together what I could.
05:29I can see that.
05:30Next time, maybe dress for success.
05:32I will do my best.
05:34Your best probably won't last very long.
05:43My best is coding programs from the ASAP.
05:45Your best looks like it's hoping someone likes you on your face now.
05:48I told you to steer clear.
05:52That includes my assistant, Lila.
05:54It's all right, sir.
05:55I wouldn't want any of her ripping off on me.
05:57This is my first corporate gig.
06:13It's fine.
06:14It's not the clothes.
06:15It's what's underneath that's important.
06:18And I can see the makings of an excellent personal assistant.
06:22That being said, Bella, dear, bring us some outfits so Octavia can dress as good as she deserves.
06:31No, you don't need to do all that for me.
06:33That's okay.
06:35Outfits on its way.
06:36That's a thing.
06:37They are.
06:38And it is.
06:40Look, I just want you to feel as good as you look.
06:43Wow.
06:44You really are sweet, huh?
06:46Hang around me long enough, you may get a cavity.
06:50There she is.
06:52Beautiful, no?
06:53Yeah.
06:54It's kind of sexy for work, though, isn't it?
06:58Standard attire, dear.
07:11Wow.
07:13Well, now that you look the part, it's time to play the part.
07:16Does that mean you're going to tell me exactly what it is your assistant does?
07:19It's simple, really.
07:20I organize my calendar, book my transport, prioritize and screen my emails, respond only
07:27when appropriate.
07:28Oh, and make sure you capture the essence of my will.
07:31I think I have to handle all that already.
07:34Prepare my agendas.
07:35Take minutes at my meetings.
07:36Oh, and by the way, we do have a business dinner tonight.
07:39I hope you're used to working long hours.
07:41I pull doubles at the coffee shop most days.
07:44Used to.
07:45Now you work for the biggest name in the valley.
07:48And I have something very important for you.
07:53Oh?
07:53You need to tell ugly Betty to apologize, Raymond.
08:01I'm running a company, Lila.
08:02I don't have time for your petty office rivalries.
08:05Besides, I can't play favorites.
08:07You don't play favorites?
08:12I try not to.
08:16I thought I was your favorite.
08:19Or do you not like your sweet little Lila anymore?
08:22You're an important member of the team, Lila.
08:24That hasn't changed.
08:25How important.
08:32I need Raymond to sign it.
08:35I'm fairly certain he said something that rhymes with,
08:38I never want to see you again.
08:41Remember?
08:42His loss.
08:43But either way, he told you to stay away, but he likes you more.
08:48Why?
08:50Because Raymond's always been a little jealous of me.
08:53Guys want what they can't have.
08:55And what would that be?
08:56A pretty lady like you in his office.
09:00HR must have a field date with you.
09:03I will get this document signed.
09:11I have important work to attend to if I'm going to keep Lucas from taking my position.
09:15Now please, be a team player and get back to work.
09:21Oh my.
09:22Is this where I get a programming manual tattooed on my chest?
09:25It's not what it looks like.
09:28Interesting.
09:29Because it looks like you were just merging your code bases.
09:34I thought I told you to steer clear.
09:36And if you hadn't stared me up and down the lobby this morning, I'd believe you too.
09:40You may want to refer to your employee handbook and how to speak to your coworkers.
09:43Will I find telling my coworkers to steer clear in the handbook?
09:49What do you want?
09:50Mr. Trent would like for you to sign this.
09:52Did you need something, sir?
10:04A pen.
10:08Do I need a lower cut dress in order for you to sign, sir?
10:13That's two strikes, Octavia.
10:15You won't be lucky with a third.
10:17Now get back to me not seeing you.
10:22Yes, sir.
10:22What took you so long?
10:36Was he busy?
10:38Uh, you could say that.
10:42There's a big dumb ray of sunshine as happy to see you as I am.
10:46I don't think that man is happy to see his own mother.
10:51Oh, uh, I need to take this, um...
10:54You know what?
10:54Just do some, uh, work on the desk there, huh?
11:06Project Phoenix.
11:08Hey, Octavia, could you grab some coffee?
11:11Hey, I'm not trying to make you go.
11:13I just like to watch you leave.
11:16Yes, sir.
11:34Bloody bitch!
11:35Lucas Trent's personal assistant!
11:37Well, he's only the second most eligible tech bachelor.
11:41But I guess he'll do.
11:42Yeah, it sure beats working here, though, right?
11:44Lucas is a bit of a perv, but nothing I can't handle.
11:50It's a foot in the door.
11:52Just wish I was coding, not backing my old job, getting coffee instead of serving coffee.
11:57No offense, guys.
11:58I still love you all.
12:01But seriously, watching Raymond and his girlfriend almost do it while I'm here, not coding?
12:07Raymond doesn't have a girlfriend.
12:09Devil Wears not a girl, Lila.
12:12Forget about Raymond.
12:13I think what will move me up with is I get put on that project.
12:16What project?
12:17Project Phoenix.
12:19How do you know about Project Phoenix?
12:23I'm sorry?
12:24That is the codename of Raymond's top secret project.
12:26How do you know about that?
12:28It was written on the...
12:29Is that why you helped me with my code?
12:30Are you a black hat here to steal our secrets?
12:32What?
12:33Of course not.
12:34I was just trying to help.
12:36Looks like that worked out pretty well for you.
12:39What's that supposed to mean?
12:40You played me.
12:41You are seriously overreacting.
12:43Save it.
12:44Thank you for helping me before, but I don't think we should talk anymore.
12:48Gracie, wait!
12:50Have you talked much at you?
12:53Oh my gosh.
12:54I'm so sorry, dear.
12:56It's all right.
13:03If I knew you looked like that, I never would have quit.
13:07Another coffee, please.
13:17This place is nice.
13:19I'm expecting even the waiters to have waiters.
13:22I saved that for my second dates.
13:24So you aren't firing me?
13:26Why would I fire you?
13:28I was late with your coffee.
13:31Let me tell you something.
13:32That coffee was going to be the third hottest thing in a room with us.
13:36Luke, Mr. Trent, I thought this was a business dinner, but you called it a date.
13:43Did I?
13:45You're right.
13:46I did.
13:47You know what?
13:48I'll get us some more wine.
13:50Waitress, another bottle, please.
13:53So, Octavia.
13:59I have a question for you, Mr. Trent.
14:01Lucas is fine.
14:04What exactly is Project Phoenix?
14:07Project Phoenix?
14:09Sorry, I kind of saw it in your office and was curious.
14:12Curious.
14:13Yes, well, Project Phoenix is a pet project of mine, meant to be a revolutionary breakthrough
14:19in AI, but I had to keep it hush, hush.
14:22Raymond has a nasty habit of taking things that don't belong to him.
14:27He seems rude and domineering, but I didn't know he was a thief.
14:31No, it's sad, sad, but true.
14:34You know, Octavia, I really appreciate you bringing that to my attention, and I knew it.
14:41I knew it.
14:42No, I knew it.
14:43When I first laid eyes on you, I knew you were exactly what I needed to protect what's mine
14:49in this nasty business.
14:52If I wanted a date, I would have asked for one.
14:55Okay.
14:58I want to prove to you that I'm a great coder, and I think it's a position that I'm better
15:03suited for.
15:04So why don't you drop off your resume?
15:07I'll expect it first thing in the morning, and how much coding experience can I expect
15:11to see on that?
15:12I'm self-taught, and I've never officially held a position as a coder, but I've written
15:18some amazing...
15:19You know, I think personal assistant has been more than generous.
15:23Call me a car.
15:24I expect to have it here when I get back from the restroom.
15:27Oh, and you'll have to find your own way home.
15:47Whatever it is, make it quick.
15:49Good evening, sir.
15:51What appears to be the problem?
15:52I, I...
15:54Quickly, I'm a busy man.
15:58I think there may be a problem with the new employee, Octavia.
16:03Agreed.
16:04She seems to have a predisposition for getting on my nerves.
16:08It's more than that, sir.
16:11She's beyond good at coding, and earlier today she mentioned Project Phoenix.
16:19She what?
16:26Look who finally learned to dress like an adult.
16:29Just like your parents.
16:31I'm almost proud of you.
16:33You know, stuff with the mom jokes, dear.
16:36You don't like a day older than 50.
16:39You know, with the big shareholder meeting coming up, I think it makes more sense if you do the boring stuff.
16:45The financial projections, the performance analysis.
16:48I guess that leaves you to deliver the technology keynote?
16:52Well, I am the chief technology officer.
16:55Technology is kind of my thing.
16:57You do know that the annual CEO vote is merely a formality, but the shareholders will continue to be loyal to the company, and by extension, to me.
17:07Well, tradition is tradition, but why don't we make sure and remind them of all the wonderful things I've done for this company?
17:15I think we're done here.
17:18Octavia, can I have a word?
17:20Alone.
17:27Sit.
17:28I prefer to stand.
17:31How do you know about Project Phoenix?
17:35Oh.
17:36Well.
17:37If you're a spy, and you're here to steal my company's secrets-
17:39You see Thomas Thief?
17:41I think you know about something far above your pay grade.
17:44Lucas is right about you.
17:45Excuse me?
17:46Who gets a first-hand look at everybody's hard work?
17:48I think you're the thief.
17:50If anyone is a thief, it's Lucas.
17:52That man has never had an original thought in his life.
17:55Oh, that's cute, Raymond.
17:56Is he also sleeping with his assistant, too?
17:58Wait, I can answer that for you.
18:00I didn't sleep with Lila.
18:02That never happened.
18:03Oh, please.
18:04You can't stop staring at her.
18:05I'm not staring at her!
18:08Octavia, where are you?
18:10We have work to do.
18:14I know all of Lucas's tricks, because we used to be best friends.
18:17Until he stabbed me in the back.
18:19He has no intention of helping your career.
18:22Whatever ambition you might have.
18:26Why do you care?
18:28Care?
18:29I didn't say I care.
18:30Really?
18:31I show concern for all my employees.
18:34Maybe I shouldn't bother.
18:36Do as you please.
18:37I will.
18:40What are you doing on my computer?
19:03You know, as much as I love to just stare at each other, I'm going to need you to answer
19:11my question.
19:13I was, uh, cleaning up your box, dear.
19:18Such a mess, I have to tidy it up.
19:20Right.
19:20I know that's your job, but you're supposed to do it on your computer from out there on
19:25your desk.
19:29Mr. Trent, I'm a software engineer.
19:32The best coder you'll ever find.
19:34And I wanted to prove to you that I can do more than get coffee.
19:38How were you planning on doing that?
19:39I wanted to know more about Project Phoenix, so I was going to use my personally-made intrusion
19:47software to get any info I could to show you what I'm capable of.
19:51Ugh.
19:54Excuse me.
19:57It sounds insane.
19:58No, it's more like impossible.
20:00We make Cyber Fortress.
20:02It's the best in digital security.
20:06Sure, for consumers.
20:08But the business version you sell is actually worse than version 7.
20:12Bit of a rush job to make sure that people upgrade it, and, well...
20:16It doesn't mean you can get in.
20:21Looks like Project Phoenix started three years ago.
20:24From here, I can see...
20:27No fucking way!
20:32You got every bit of information.
20:34That fast?
20:35There's only been one system I couldn't easily crack.
20:39There might be a warrant out for my arrest.
20:43You're amazing.
20:45And I mean it seriously this time.
20:47You're incredible.
20:48Lucas, stop.
20:49You already knew that.
20:50No, we are going to talk about a real position for you tomorrow.
20:56Yeah.
20:57Yes, sir.
21:02I mean it in our usual place.
21:06You got it?
21:29Easy.
21:30Her software was sitting right there on her desk.
21:33I told you I'm your girl.
21:35Definitely.
21:36Definitely are.
21:37But this might not be enough.
21:38I need you to stay close to Raymond in case we're missing something.
21:43Speaking of something that we've missed.
21:45Oh, babe.
21:46I'd love to, but with the keynote right around the corner,
21:48I actually have to make sure Phoenix is ready to go.
21:51I'll make time in a couple of weeks when I'm CEO.
22:00Don't you worry, your beautiful little everything.
22:06Wait.
22:07You talked to your fiancé, right?
22:11Soon.
22:12I promise.
22:14You know who I want by my side when I'm CEO.
22:16Oh.
22:17Oh.
22:21Oh, come on now.
22:30I really do miss you, Peter.
22:33My new boss is nice, but a girl can't replace her first.
22:36We're insufferable.
22:43Hello, Icarus team.
22:44Lucas here.
22:45And I have something I think you're all going to love.
22:48A new pet project of mine comes to fruition.
22:52Nothing surprising there.
22:54Why wouldn't you tell me about this?
22:56What the heck is going on?
22:59I'd like to introduce you to a very powerful little tool we developed
23:04to show vulnerabilities in any system.
23:08No.
23:10This software is able to get into just about anything
23:13you can shake a line of code at.
23:15This software is even powerful enough to slip by our very own
23:20Cyber Fortress Security software.
23:24No small feat.
23:26You better tell them who made this.
23:28My team worked tirelessly to bring this software to life.
23:32Better.
23:33But none more than me.
23:36Which is why I'm calling it Trent Trojan.
23:40I needed you all to know just what lengths I'm willing to go to
23:45to guarantee success in this company.
23:49So just remember when the vote comes up,
23:51if you want money and security in this company,
23:55a vote for me is mandatory.
23:57Oh, and Cyber Fortress team,
24:01you better have a patch by tomorrow
24:03or we're going to have a lot of unhappy customers.
24:06Ciao.
24:10Have a patch by tomorrow
24:13or we're going to have a lot of unhappy customers.
24:16Ciao.
24:17Ciao.
24:20Lucas either built an entirely new software
24:22without me noticing
24:23or he's up to his old tricks again.
24:25You still have Project Phoenix.
24:28I'm sure you'll be able to finish it in time for the big meeting.
24:31It's a showstopper.
24:32If I work nonstop between now and then,
24:34it should be presentable.
24:36But if anything else goes wrong,
24:38my position as CEO could be in jeopardy.
24:42I'm here for you, Raymond.
24:43If you're working nonstop,
24:45I work nonstop.
24:48I may not be able to code,
24:50but I could be there for you in other ways.
24:55I don't need you slowing me down, Lila.
25:02I've been able to handle everything up until now.
25:05This will be no exception.
25:07But Raymond...
25:08That'll be all, Lila.
25:09You're dismissed.
25:13Yes, sir.
25:14Yes, sir.
25:14Well, maybe I can pick up a few shifts.
25:23I can work evenings.
25:26Your old position has already been taken.
25:30Sorry, Octavia.
25:31Oh, hello, Gracie.
25:36Still not your mole.
25:38But don't worry, I won't be at Icarus any longer.
25:41I'm sorry, Octavia.
25:44I saw the video.
25:46Lucas took credit for your software, didn't he?
25:48Of course he did.
25:50You might even warn me about Lucas.
25:52I can't go back and work for him.
25:55You can code.
25:57Like, really code.
25:58I mean, if you made something so good
26:00that the CTO of Icarus Tech stole it
26:02and claimed it as his own,
26:03you're a world-class coder.
26:05You can't work here in a coffee shop.
26:07You didn't let me quit,
26:08and I'm not going to let you quit.
26:09You need to speak to Raymond.
26:11I can't.
26:11Now!
26:13Yes, ma'am.
26:14Tell him what you know about Lucas.
26:15I need to speak to you.
26:31I'm listening.
26:34I wanted to prove to Lucas
26:35that I can do more than just deliver coffee,
26:38and so with my infiltration software I built,
26:40I was able to access Project Phoenix files.
26:45Lucas has my Project Phoenix files?
26:48So it really is your project?
26:51Whose else would it be?
26:52He said it was his.
26:54He then went on to introduce my software
26:55as his own to the company.
26:57Now you know the truth about him.
27:00Aren't you going to say I told you so?
27:03No.
27:06I had a feeling he had nothing to do with that software.
27:10I'm sorry.
27:12But if he has my software,
27:13he might have access to all of your work.
27:16I have a proposal for you.
27:19But first, I'm going to need an apology.
27:22You certainly do deserve a proposal.
27:25You strike me as a woman who lives by merit.
27:29Earn it.
27:30Good morning, Mr. Trent.
27:43Good morning, my absolute favorite assistant.
27:47Rebecca, the best CTO.
27:49I missed our ticket for office.
27:52Did you see the big announcement
27:53about our intrusion software?
27:56No.
27:58I'm afraid I must have missed the big announcement.
28:01It made a big splash, and I knew it would.
28:04I mean, the fact that it could crack our system,
28:06that's huge.
28:07This new software is the final piece
28:10in me securing CEO.
28:13Happy for you, sir.
28:14You said you wanted to discuss with me
28:17about getting an official role as a programmer?
28:20Happy for us.
28:21A rising tide raises all ships.
28:24Once I secure my position,
28:25so too will yours be.
28:28I suppose I can wait a little bit longer
28:31if I could get a second dinner.
28:34Oh, Tavia, you drive a hard bargain.
28:39And I am a Ferrari of a negotiator.
28:42Tonight, 7.30.
28:45See you tonight, Lucas.
28:54So what are your plans for my...
28:57I mean, your software?
29:00Our software.
29:01Don't be mad at me.
29:02I'm not mad.
29:04The developments of my subordinate,
29:06my peers, do in fact belong to me.
29:09And it is my job to present that work.
29:12It's all in the contract.
29:14But don't worry.
29:15I know I promise to make it up to you,
29:17and I never, ever break a promise.
29:22So,
29:23what else has my Octavia been working on?
29:28Uh...
29:32Come on, Tavia.
29:33Tavia, this CEO push guarantees us a solid future
29:37where we can do great work together.
29:42Really?
29:42Really?
29:43Really?
29:43Let me make it up to you, really.
29:46How about we get out of here?
29:48Go somewhere just the two of us.
29:50Somewhere close.
29:51Somewhere meaningful.
29:53Beautiful, sweet downtown.
29:56I want to make sure you remember this promise.
30:01Yes, ma'am.
30:02I will.
30:03So, I'll probably go somewhere closer.
30:07Like,
30:08on your desk,
30:10back at the office.
30:12Yeah, the desk is fine.
30:18Just...
30:19Come on, Ferrari.
30:20Oh, boy.
30:23Yeah, just...
30:24Ah, here it come!
30:44You really have everything ready
30:47at the snap of your finger?
30:48Well, if that were true,
30:50this would already be our third date.
30:51Mm-hmm.
30:53You really think you're all that?
30:55I've known it all my life,
30:56but what I am curious about
30:57is when you caught on.
31:00Somewhere between...
31:03the hiring,
31:05the clothes,
31:06and the dinner.
31:08Oh, speaking about in between the clothes...
31:13You think I came here for just your shirt, Mr. Trent?
31:16I want a show.
31:17I want a show.
31:18Mm-hmm.
31:20Oh.
31:22Those pants are not working.
31:24Mm-hmm.
31:24Mm-hmm.
31:26Maybe I should call Bella
31:27to bring some more options.
31:30Mm-mm.
31:31I don't think we need Bella for this.
31:42Interesting.
31:42You know,
31:44my mind hasn't been working right
31:46ever since I saw you.
31:47Mm-hmm.
31:48And I was hoping
31:49that you could set me straight.
31:54After stealing my software,
31:57I have a mind too.
31:59I...
32:00No.
32:02You're in trouble now, mister.
32:04Mm.
32:05Oh.
32:06Yeah?
32:07What are you gonna do to me?
32:09Mm-hmm.
32:10Oh.
32:12Nothing.
32:15You really upset me.
32:16And I just remember,
32:17I'm mad at you.
32:19Wait, what?
32:20Hey,
32:21that was just talk.
32:23I'm sorry.
32:24Oh.
32:24I have to find my own way home.
32:29Octavia.
32:31Hey, listen.
32:32You walk out that door.
32:33Don't bother coming in tomorrow morning.
32:37I might not be the only one.
32:42Hey!
32:51You may need to call Lucas an ambulance.
32:54Oh?
32:55He's got a buffer overflow
32:56that can really use some relief.
33:00I think he'll be fine.
33:01His system's about to get seriously penetrated.
33:07Mr. Kentworth.
33:08I was not aware
33:09that you knew how to crack jokes.
33:11Or hack.
33:13I've been known to breach
33:14a few firewalls in my day.
33:15I bet you have.
33:18And what about you, Octavia?
33:20I'm encrypted, Mr. Kentworth.
33:23But I could be decrypted
33:24and explored with the right key.
33:27Assuming your network is big enough.
33:31I can see what he's gotten himself into.
33:37It's everything.
33:42He has all of my files on Project Phoenix.
33:45Shit.
33:46This all because of my software.
33:49No.
33:51It's because I kept him at arm's length.
33:53Just out of sight.
33:54It's what I do with everyone around here.
34:01Well,
34:02maybe it's time you start letting some people in.
34:07Starting with me.
34:13This is not the first time he's stolen my work.
34:16He went behind my back
34:17and presented my code for Cyber Fortress to the board.
34:21And they made him CTO.
34:24Why didn't you tell them?
34:26Tell the board he's a thief.
34:28It was hard to prove.
34:31Maybe that's just my excuse.
34:35The real reason is
34:37it was a difficult decision.
34:38Like I said,
34:39Lucas and I were very close.
34:41And perhaps I thought
34:43we could put it behind us.
34:46But now I know we can't.
34:49He's coming for me.
34:50Well,
34:51now you have proof.
34:54Time to defend the throne,
34:55isn't it?
34:57It certainly is.
34:58I linger too long.
35:07He's going to know you're in the system.
35:09Do you have a plan?
35:13He'll be working hard to complete Phoenix.
35:16And so will we.
35:17We?
35:19Together.
35:21Work with me.
35:23With you
35:24or for you?
35:26You and I,
35:28together,
35:29we can complete this software
35:30and we can take Lucas down.
35:32Out him in front of the board.
35:34So,
35:35are you offering me a job?
35:37Because Lucas kind of fired me
35:39a couple minutes ago.
35:40So?
35:41Hmm.
35:43I guess if you no longer work here,
35:45it's okay for me to do this.
35:50Okay.
35:56Well,
35:58now that we
36:00are
36:01officially
36:02partners,
36:05why don't we celebrate?
36:08I celebrated our dinner.
36:10I was thinking
36:11a little dessert.
36:12two-timing bitch
36:29spoke into my system.
36:31She thinks
36:31she can fuck over
36:33Lucas goddamn
36:34Trent.
36:36Fuck!
36:36Fuck!
36:37Fuck!
36:37Fuck!
36:37Fuck!
36:38Fuck!
36:39Fuck!
36:39Fuck!
36:39Fuck!
36:39Fuck!
36:39Fuck!
36:39Fuck!
36:39Fuck!
36:40Fuck!
36:40Fuck!
36:40Fuck!
36:42All that yelling
36:44can't be good.
36:46Losing your voice
36:47before the keynote
36:48is a bad look.
36:49You know what?
36:50Here we go.
36:50What, are you gonna do
36:51something slick now too?
36:53I would never.
36:54I came here
36:55to tell you something.
36:56What?
36:57That crude little
36:58assistant of yours
36:59has been going
37:00behind your back
37:01and working with Raymond.
37:02You know what?
37:03I already figured
37:03that one out, slick.
37:05Okay?
37:05I just need something more.
37:07I got my throne.
37:08It's so close
37:09and I'm not gonna let
37:10that bitch
37:11take it away
37:12from me now.
37:24Babe.
37:25I need you.
37:28You could make me feel better.
37:30Just ignore that, baby.
37:47Hi, honey.
37:49Hey, what's going on?
37:50Yeah, yeah, of course
37:56I can leave early.
37:57Come on.
37:58Yeah, no, just, you know,
38:00getting some exercise in.
38:02Of course, I can pick him up
38:03at a soccer practice
38:05and a bottle of wine.
38:07Oh, all right.
38:08Yeah, I can do that.
38:09Aren't you in a good mood, huh?
38:11Yeah.
38:12Yeah, babe.
38:13I'll see you soon.
38:14Having a bad day.
38:34What happened to you?
38:37I love him.
38:38I love him.
38:39He promised me that...
38:46Raymond?
38:52No, Lucas.
38:55But I saw you and Raymond.
38:56He doesn't want anything
38:57to do with me.
38:58It's Lucas.
38:59It's always been Lucas.
39:01He promised me
39:02he was going to leave
39:03his fiancee
39:03and like an idiot,
39:04I believed him.
39:06Oh, my.
39:08Lucas has a fiancee?
39:10I would have given
39:11anything for him.
39:15And he knew that.
39:16But he didn't care.
39:18He doesn't care about
39:18anyone but himself.
39:20It's going to be all right.
39:25No.
39:26No, it won't.
39:28Because worst of all,
39:30I betrayed Raymond.
39:32I stole your software.
39:37I gave it to Lucas.
39:39So it was you?
39:41I'm so sorry.
39:43I'm such an idiot.
39:44I'm so stupid.
39:45Your words.
39:48Betraying Raymond for Lucas.
39:51Raymond hired me.
39:52He taught me everything.
39:54Except how to steal.
39:56That skill
39:57came from Lucas.
40:02I didn't like you
40:03when we first met, Lila.
40:05Still don't.
40:07But
40:08hating each other
40:09doesn't do any good
40:09for either of us.
40:11I'm not saying
40:12it was
40:12snappy catty anymore
40:13because it's too much fun.
40:15But
40:15it's
40:17or something adjacent.
40:20You could just say
40:22that I finally
40:22I trust you.
40:23No need to cover me
40:24in snot.
40:25Not even on a cold
40:26day in hell.
40:29Feel like
40:30getting some revenge?
40:31I don't just
40:32feel like it.
40:33I plan on it.
40:42Lucas
40:43won't know
40:43what hit him.
40:53Esteemed investors
40:54and executive members
40:55of Icarus Text Board.
40:57Today I would like
40:57to reveal
40:58the culmination
40:59of countless
41:00hours of work.
41:02Phoenix.
41:04The most advanced
41:05in learning
41:06AI assistance.
41:13If you would all
41:14be so kind
41:15to direct your attention
41:16to the screen,
41:17I would like to give you
41:17a full and thorough
41:19demonstration
41:19of Phoenix's abilities.
41:21You know,
41:23I think
41:23Raymond's been
41:24so involved
41:25with the nitty gritty
41:26that he forgot
41:27the most
41:28important introduction
41:29of the day.
41:31Who better
41:31to demonstrate
41:32this world-changing
41:34software
41:34than
41:35the man
41:36that was instrumental
41:37in bringing it
41:38to life?
41:40Yes,
41:40this humble
41:41odyssey
41:42obviously comes
41:43from the mind
41:44of your most
41:45brilliant
41:46CTO,
41:48Lucas Trent.
41:48Without further
41:55ado,
41:56I want to
41:57introduce you
41:58to my baby,
42:01Phoenix.
42:03Good morning,
42:05Phoenix.
42:05Good morning,
42:06Lucas.
42:07Who needs hands
42:09when Phoenix
42:09recognizes
42:10my voice?
42:13Say,
42:13Phoenix,
42:14I'm driving
42:14and need some
42:15stats pulled up
42:16on how much
42:17money I've
42:18made for
42:18this company.
42:20I can tell
42:20you're at the
42:21Icarus Tech
42:21boardroom
42:22and according
42:22to the calendar,
42:24this is the
42:24important keynote
42:25with your
42:25very intelligent
42:26investors
42:27and beautiful
42:28board members.
42:31I think
42:31she gets
42:32that from me.
42:33Yes,
42:34you caught
42:35me,
42:35Phoenix.
42:36Can you pull
42:37up those
42:37reports?
42:38Yes,
42:38sir.
42:39I did
42:40catch you.
42:42Stealing your
42:42peers'
42:43technology,
42:44figure 1.1
42:45shows several
42:46technologies,
42:47including
42:47Cyber Fortress
42:48and Trent
42:49Trojan,
42:49the code of
42:50which was
42:51written by
42:51others but
42:52claimed as
42:53your own.
42:54This just
42:55must be a
42:56glitch.
42:56I'll take
42:56care of it.
42:57It's fine.
42:57Just give me a
42:58second.
42:59I've also
42:59prepared a
43:00summary of
43:01sexual harassment
43:01claims against
43:02you as seen
43:03in figure 1.2.
43:06It's quite a
43:07long list,
43:08sir.
43:09Uh,
43:10you know what?
43:11Perhaps
43:12Raymond and I
43:13were a little
43:14hasty and
43:15not showing
43:15you this
43:15prototype
43:16today.
43:18Figure 1.3
43:19shows you've
43:20also been
43:20misappropriating
43:21company funds.
43:24I think
43:25our chief
43:25technology
43:26officer is
43:26having some
43:27technical
43:27difficulties.
43:32Hey,
43:32Phoenix,
43:33let's lighten
43:34up the mood
43:35with our latest
43:35financial projections.
43:41With all
43:42that you have
43:42witnessed here
43:43today,
43:43I am confident
43:44to say that
43:44it is only
43:45upward from
43:46here.
43:47And with
43:47my continued
43:48support as
43:49CEO,
43:50we will,
43:51like the
43:51Phoenix,
43:52continue to
43:52rise again
43:53as we fly
43:54into a deeper
43:55future.
44:04Hey,
44:05Octavia.
44:06Ah!
44:06Hello, dear.
44:08Glad you can
44:08make the show.
44:09Glad you decided
44:10to listen to me.
44:10Makes a girl feel
44:11loved.
44:11Yeah,
44:12well,
44:12this job is
44:13kind of crazy,
44:14but he's
44:14starting to love
44:15it.
44:15If either of us
44:16are planning on
44:17quitting again,
44:17we need to find
44:18each other.
44:19Absolutely.
44:24Octavia?
44:26Yes,
44:26Raymond?
44:27I'd like to see
44:27you in my office.
44:33Whoa,
44:34Superman?
44:37Whoa,
44:38Superman.
44:43Three strikes,
44:44Octavia.
44:45What did I do?
44:47You're not wearing
44:47your Acres tech
44:48badge.
44:49I told you a third
44:50strike wouldn't end
44:50well for you.
44:52You must think
44:52you're the CEO
44:53or something.
45:21I like seeing you
45:22smile.
45:23Lucas is a dick.
45:28But in a way,
45:29I'm grateful
45:30for his deceit.
45:32Brought us
45:33closer together.
45:34Are we close?
45:36I hadn't noticed.
45:37Cute.
45:40It's interesting
45:41how it all worked out.
45:43Yeah,
45:43quite nicely.
45:46But it still
45:47feels as though
45:48I no longer
45:49have a CTO
45:50to answer to.
45:51I've given that
45:54some thought.
45:55Please share.
45:58I'd like to offer
45:58the CTO position
45:59to someone
46:00who actually
46:01has the brains
46:02to create new
46:02software
46:03and the skills
46:04to challenge
46:05our own.
46:06I need a partner
46:07I can trust
46:08and I think
46:10that partner
46:10is you.
46:11are you saying
