00:00I've got this.

00:01Thank you for saving this country.

00:03No, the world, Stark.

00:06God bless America.

00:07Now that I've finished my service in the Marine Corps,

00:09I can finally come home to my girlfriend.

00:11Time to make her big day even better.

00:13Grow up, Toby.

00:15A worthless crippled vet wants to marry my daughter?

00:19Dream on, Toby.

00:20He is so beneath us.

00:24I'm happy to realize that you're a gold figure before I propose to you.

00:28But guess what?

00:29You're going to be the one to regret once you find out who I am.

00:32He's my fiancé.

00:34Is that enough status for you?

00:35This is the lady boss of Bloom Tech AI.

00:39I'm your CEO General, Toby Stark.

00:59Thank you for saving this country.

01:05No, the world, Stark.

01:08How's that arm?

01:10This?

01:11Never bet.

01:12What the hell are you doing, Lieutenant Stark?

01:25I said retreat.

01:26If you still want to live...

01:28Don't worry, General Evans.

01:29I've got this.

01:31I've got this.

01:39He did it!

01:41God bless America!

01:42The President of the United States is promoting Tobias Stark, the five-star general, in honor

01:55of his service.

01:56He shall now be named the Iron Marine.

01:59In celebration, the entire country gets a whole week off, extending the Fourth of July holiday.

02:07Thank you, General Evans, and God bless America.

02:11Congratulations, General!

02:15At ease!

02:21General Stark, I understand you're taking over Stark Enterprises from your father.

02:26I wish you the best.

02:27Now, how about that after-banquet party?

02:29Sorry, General, but with all dear respect, I've got a date.

02:35But this is with the President and all the generals.

02:39Who could possibly be more important?

02:42My future wife.

02:53I've said it a thousand times.

02:55I'm not marrying that evil monster, David Lang.

02:58I don't care if he's rich.

03:00But, Miss Bloom, the Langs say if you don't marry David, they'll make sure Bloom Tech AI won't get funding from any other investors.

03:07There's no way to shut them up.

03:09Unless you could get married to someone else?

03:18Hey, you.

03:19What's your name?

03:22Tobias.

03:22Tobias Stark.

03:24Age?

03:2530.

03:27Occupation?

03:28I just fulfilled my service with the Marine Corps.

03:31Kind of in between jobs right now, but...

03:33Ah.

03:34So you're a military grunt.

03:36Must mean you don't make a lot of money.

03:38You married?

03:39Not yet, but I...

03:40I'm in a rush, so let me just be quick.

03:42My name is Jasmine Bloom.

03:44I'm 25 years old.

03:46My net worth is around...

03:47a few billion.

03:48And I'm the CEO of the largest AI tech company in America, Bloom Tech AI.

03:55Good for you.

03:58Let's get married.

04:00Get what?

04:01Get married.

04:02Think of it as a business deal.

04:04You play my husband, and I give you 100k a month.

04:08Miss, I'm sorry.

04:09I can't marry you.

04:11200k.

04:12Plus a mansion.

04:14Miss, I'm sorry.

04:15I can't.

04:17I'm engaged.

04:18Oh, sorry.

04:20I'm really gonna have to marry that evil David Lane?

04:23So you're the CEO of Bloom Tech?

04:26Yes.

04:26I like what you guys are doing down there.

04:29It would be a shame if it went under.

04:31Maybe I can help you out with something.

04:33Give me a phone.

04:35Okay.

04:36Okay.

04:38Hi, David Lane?

04:43It's Toby.

04:43Yeah, that Toby.

04:44Listen, stop bothering Miss Bloom, or else I'm gonna cancel my contracts with you.

04:48What the hell are you doing?

04:50Don't piss him off.

04:50He's rich and powerful.

04:52Not as powerful as me.

04:53You're making it worse.

04:55He won't be bothering you anymore.

04:57He says he'll apologize to you, too.

05:00Oh!

05:05I'm sorry.

05:06I didn't mean to.

05:07Do you have much trouble you've caused?

05:09I need to fix this.

05:10I need these investments.

05:12Worry about the lags.

05:13There won't be a problem anymore.

05:14I've taken care of it.

05:16In fact, you'll be receiving a considerable grant from Stark Enterprises.

05:20I hope that you can take Bloom Tech AI to the top.

05:23You're lying.

05:24Stark Enterprises is the number one arm tech company in the entire world.

05:28They have billions of equity invested in dozens of industries.

05:33Who do you think you are?

05:35She doesn't need to know.

05:36I'm CEO of Stark Enterprises.

05:39Staying low-key.

05:41You know what?

05:41Screw you.

05:42Get off my boat.

05:43Oh, this is my boat.

05:49Man, she's a feisty girl.

05:52I can see why she's taking Bloom Tech AI to the top.

05:56I think I'm going to invest in her company.

06:02Daniela is so much nicer than her.

06:06Bet she's excited to see me.

06:13Oh, I cannot believe the caliber of this banquet.

06:23And it's all just for me.

06:25Bloom Tech is so lucky to have you.

06:28Is their CEO Jasmine Bloom coming?

06:31Jasmine Bloom is number one on the Forbes list.

06:34I'm obsessed with her, but she's super mysterious.

06:37I don't even know what she looks like.

06:39Now that I've finished my service in the Marine Corps,

06:44I can finally come home to my girlfriend.

06:48Daniela will be so moved when she learns

06:50I've been financing her behind the scenes all these years.

06:53Time to make her big day even better.

06:58Tobias is here?

07:01I thought he was deployed.

07:04Daniela, I'm back.

07:05Toby, you're back.

07:07Why?

07:09I've returned from active duty.

07:11Big day.

07:12Can't miss my girls.

07:14Welcome banquet with Bloom Tech.

07:16We've got some flowers.

07:25You're mad, aren't you?

07:26You know, being long distance for three years,

07:28we've had itself.

07:29But I'm not leaving you again.

07:31Oh, no.

07:31Please, leave.

07:33I have no interest in seeing you anymore.

07:36You're really this man?

07:37Oh, my God.

07:39I thought you were poor, but you're stupid, too.

07:43But that's all right.

07:44I can spell it out for him.

07:45Tobias, you and I, breaking up.

07:49You're breaking up with me?

07:50But I just got back.

07:52I'm not going to get deployed anymore.

07:53I've returned to civilian life.

07:55Yeah, coincidentally, just as I've gotten this amazing new job with Bloom Tech AI, and I'm

08:02making millions.

08:05Ah, see that up there?

08:07Yeah, that's what real money, real power looks like.

08:11You are just an uneducated pig that is trying to leech off of my daughter.

08:18I'm not trying to leech off anyone.

08:20Danielle, I mean, we've been together for five years, and I've given you everything.

08:24Why would you want to toss that away?

08:27Grow up, Toby.

08:29Happily ever after is for children.

08:31In the real world, what matters is status, power, and money.

08:35You're blinded by money.

08:39And to think that I was going to reveal my true identity, that I am.

08:44That you are an ex-marine with no degree and no job.

08:48No car and no house.

08:51And I promise you these fake medals, yeah, they're not going to cover up your deceit.

08:59This is dangerous.

09:05Yeah, I think it's time to move your filthy existence out of our presence.

09:14My existence is where protected you and this country from an airstrike.

09:19Go play Soldier Boy someplace else.

09:23You do not deserve my daughter.

09:26Weren't you discharged?

09:28Had an accident?

09:30You know, PTSD or being crippled?

09:34It's really not something I want to deal with.

09:41Daniela, you've now gone too far.

09:44I might have returned a hero, but you've insulted my brethren.

09:47We put our lives on the line to protect you and this country.

09:51You idiots sold your soul for our government.

09:54We are honorable men and women.

09:57Tobias, look around you.

09:59Daniela, you're at the number one AI company in Silicon Valley, surrounded by the top of the top 1%.

10:06And you are a dirtbag, unemployed vet, simply here to embarrass me.

10:12All the superficial glory has gone to your head.

10:16I can see your true colors, Daniela.

10:18Yeah, and they're glimmering gold.

10:20I was always too good for you.

10:21You think the posters, the piles of cash, the banquets put you on a pedestal?

10:28But I'm the one who got you this job offer.

10:32Dream on, Toby.

10:34You couldn't even be bothered to put something on that wasn't given to you for free.

10:38Okay, you'd be fortunate to get a job here as the janitor.

10:42He is so beneath us.

10:44He doesn't even understand how powerful Bloom Tech is.

10:47Bloom Tech AI is the number one AI company in the nation.

10:52Their CEO, Jasmine Bloom, aka Lady Bloom, she's number one on the Forbes list.

10:58She's my idol.

11:00Bloom Tech might be big, but they need my investment to go global.

11:05Do they now?

11:06They're just desperate for your dirty hand-me-downs?

11:09You're a clown, Tobias.

11:12You know, the Bloom Tech that was supposedly so hard to get into.

11:20It's because I made the call.

11:28Hi.

11:29What?

11:31Miss Bloom, David Lang just issued a public apology.

11:34He said he won't bother you anymore.

11:36No way.

11:36And I have better news.

11:37But Stark Enterprises just sent us a $10 billion deal.

11:42The largest military supplier wants to invest in us.

11:46Oh, my God.

11:48That man from the boat.

11:51He wasn't lying.

11:52What's going on?

11:55Esther, you have to find him right away.

11:58That ex-Marine, Tobias Stark.

12:00I need to know everything about this man ASAP.

12:03Of what, mister?

12:04Why?

12:04I want to marry him.

12:09Marry him?

12:10Yes.

12:13Tobias, you're mine.

12:17Daniela, did you hear him?

12:20He thinks he's above Bloom Tech.

12:23You go ahead and break his heart, and now he's lost his mind.

12:25Tobias, please, just leave.

12:30I understand.

12:31You're squatting around, feeling as though I owe you something for these last few years.

12:35Is that it?

12:36I'm a generous girl.

12:38How's the $100,000 sound?

12:39Okay?

12:41Go ahead.

12:42Help yourself.

12:43Pennies, to me.

12:44But, you know, for the likes of you, I'm sure it'll make a huge difference.

12:53One, I don't care about the money.

12:56And two, you're right.

12:58This is just pennies to me.

12:59He just wants more.

13:03Fine.

13:04Well, $200,000 is a long load for someone like you.

13:07But you know what?

13:08$300,000 is a lot more likely to get you that farm in the middle of nowhere, that toothless

13:13bimbo you're always dreaming about.

13:15Come on, Tobias.

13:16What's it going to take?

13:18All of it's for you.

13:19Geez, Tobias, I swear.

13:22There are endless amounts of money for you to have.

13:26Okay?

13:26$500,000.

13:28Take what you want.

13:30Fine, Tobias.

13:32You take as much as you need.

13:34Okay?

13:35Get prepared to be on your hands and knees.

13:37Take what you need.

13:38And then get out of my life.

13:47This is a lot of money.

13:48But it means nothing to me.

13:52You can't even afford to buy a drone with this meager amount.

14:03Quit pretending.

14:04Daniel, he's just messing with you.

14:07Cut ties with this loser and get him out of here before Rick gets here.

14:10No, you're right.

14:11Toby could never compare to Rick.

14:13I wouldn't want Rick to catch me with this filth.

14:15Rick?

14:16Who's Rick?

14:17Who's Rick?

14:18I'll tell you who Rick is.

14:20Rick is the wealthiest man in California.

14:23His dad is the VP at Bloom Tech.

14:26Jasmine Bloom's right-hand man.

14:28He's got money.

14:29He's got wealth.

14:30You have neither.

14:30And if you know what's good for you, I'd leave before he gets here and throws you out himself.

14:36He's not one to be trifled with.

14:38Cheated on me.

14:39Cheated on me.

14:40Cheated on me.

14:41And now you're dumping me for someone you think is more powerful than me.

14:44When I'm the Stark CEO.

14:46The true source behind any of their wealth.

14:49Cheated on me.

14:49Yes, Tobias.

14:51I got with someone who could get me to where I wanted to be.

14:54He got me the job.

14:56He makes $10 million a year and he actually knows people.

14:59She doesn't realize she only got that offer because I call Intel.

15:05I don't have any desire to spend the rest of my days at home with an unemployed veteran eating beans for dinner.

15:12I think I deserve better than that, don't you?

15:16Daniella, what makes you think that I can't give you what you want?

15:19That I can give you more than Rick can?

15:21One hundred. Thousands times more.

15:24Who? You?

15:26Maybe we'll have to keep him around.

15:28So then he can see how low he is compared to Rick?

15:31Yeah, I'm here for that.

15:33He's nothing compared to me.

15:37Ha! Did I just hear a welfare king say he's a thousand times better than me?

15:45Rick, baby, welcome, welcome. We've been waiting just for you.

15:52Oh! You must be the broke G.I. Joe ex-boyfriend Daniella told me about.

15:58Don't worry, Mr. Dixon. Daniella always broke up with him.

16:01He just won't leave her alone. He's such a creep.

16:06Yeah.

16:07I gotta ask, what's this?

16:10Some creepy BDSM leather glove?

16:13I'll tell you what.

16:15I'm gonna ruin your uniform for ya.

16:17I suggest you let go before you approach yourself.

16:23Oh!

16:23Is that a mechanical arm? I thought only this dark CEO had one.

16:41CEO?

16:41In his dreams.

16:43Alright, turns out he's not just a creep, but he's a cripple too.

16:47A worthless, crippled vet wants to marry my daughter? Dream on.

16:53He's not even a whole man.

16:58Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

16:59Let me guess how it happened.

17:01Um, you were messing around with your own grenade and you accidentally popped your own arm off, didn't you?

17:05My comrades and I risk our lives on the line to protect civilians like you.

17:10You're just stuck-up cowards wasting space.

17:15Oh.

17:16Well.

17:17Excuse me, Mr. Expendable.

17:20You know why the rich don't join the military?

17:22Because unlike you, uh, low-class hillbillies, our lives are actually worth something.

17:28I'd like to see you prove that.

17:29Daniella never even loved you, so stop stalking her and I will consider not kicking your ass.

17:35Sure.

17:36Go ahead and fight me.

17:38You'll just get your ass handed back to me.

17:45Don't risk it.

17:46What if he's a bloodthirsty killer from his time at war?

17:50Yeah, psychosis.

17:51No, it wouldn't fight you anyway.

17:53I'm smarter than that.

17:55My dad is Bloom Tech's VP.

17:57I could crush you without even lifting a finger.

18:01Security!

18:02And the count of three.

18:05You get your little G.I. Joe ass out of here or I'll have security break both your legs.

18:11Then you'll have to have even more fake limbs.

18:13Assuming you can afford it.

18:16Go ahead.

18:19All right.

18:23Three.

18:25Two.

18:27Two.

18:31What in God's name is going on here?

18:38Oh.

18:39Mr. Dixon, is someone bothering you?

18:41Adam, you are the general manager here.

18:44How could you let this creepy, crippled vet in here?

18:47He is stalking Daniella because she broke up with him.

18:50Hmm.

18:50Oh, well, well, well, where did you even get that arm?

18:58Michael Jackson's closet?

19:01That was a good insult, right?

19:03Well, Dr. Dunst is Bloom Tech's future head of R&D, and there is no way, no way she would

19:08ever be with a bottom feeder like you.

19:10Exactly.

19:11Everyone, look at this washed up piece of trash.

19:16He's just a high school dropout who sold his life to the military for a meal.

19:21Look at him now.

19:22He's discharged, crippled, and unemployed.

19:26So shapeless.

19:28And he's trying to leech off of my daughter.

19:31Have you forgotten, Daniella, that I'm the one that funded and supported you through doctoral

19:36schools so you could pursue your dreams?

19:39That was your choice.

19:41Don't blame me for your stupidity.

19:43I see now.

19:44You're ungrateful and greedy.

19:46And do you realize who I am?

19:48Do you realize who I am?

19:50Dr. Dunst was our top researcher at Stanford.

19:52Our CEO, Lady Bloom, thought very highly of her.

19:54Yeah, he's just leeching off Dr. Dunst's seven-figure salary.

19:59They really do just let anybody in the military.

20:03You see that, Tobias?

20:05I am so far out of your league.

20:08But you can go home and cry about it.

20:10Goodbye, robot man.

20:11Bye.

20:11Go.

20:12The one who will cry is you, Daniella.

20:15When you find out who I really am and tossed away.

20:18Not even your boss, Lady Bloom, would dare make me budge.

20:24Ma'am?

20:26I found him.

20:27Great, where is he?

20:28He's at the Bloom Tech campus for Dr. Dunst's welcoming banquet.

20:32Dr. Dunst?

20:33Daniella Dunst, that new engineer we just recruited?

20:36Yes, this loan?

20:38Great.

20:39Quick, hurry to the campus!

20:43Just drop it.

20:45A welfare king like you has no place in today's society

20:48except to waste precious taxpayer money.

20:51You know what?

20:52G.I. Joe?

20:53Beep, beep, boop, boop, boop.

20:56Today is Independence Day.

20:58Why don't you do America a favor and

20:59light yourself up in the sky.

21:03Sure you'll make a great fireworks show.

21:07And that's the least he could do for our country.

21:09Stop leeching off our taxpayer dollars, you bum.

21:12Even if I tried to turn you into a firecracker,

21:16you wouldn't make a ban.

21:18You're crazy.

21:22Check out my offer, dear.

21:24Go ahead, nice and close.

21:27See that signature right there?

21:28Read it and weep.

21:30Miss Jasmine Bloom hired me, wanted me, personally.

21:34That means I'm worth a lot and you, not so much.

21:39I had Bloom Tech sign her offer.

21:42Brace yourself, Daniella.

21:44I'm taking the offer back along with everything I ever gave you.

21:56My contract!

21:58What have you done?

21:59That is the original offer signed by Lady Bloom.

22:03How dare you rip it up?

22:04You are dead!

22:05Daniella, who do you think gave you everything?

22:07Hello, whose father is the VP of Bloom Tech,

22:14who was able to ask Miss Jasmine Bloom personally to sign my contract.

22:18You still have no clue.

22:20What?

22:21If it wasn't them signing it, it was you?

22:24That's right.

22:26Daniella Dunce, you are nothing without me.

22:29Honestly, you are making a fool of yourself at this point.

22:37No amount of lying is going to make it so that all of a sudden I crave being with a lowly, crippled loser.

22:45Take a look around, Terminator man.

22:48First off, I decorated this place.

22:51And secondly, this is the Bloom Tech campus.

22:54To get out now, or security will throw your mechanical ass out of here.

22:58The only way to get him out of here is sideways.

23:00Look, I understand how devastating being broken up with by me must be.

23:07But for this, you will pay.

23:10Bloom Tech will be sure of it.

23:15I'll say this right now.

23:21No one at Bloom Tech is powerful enough to kick me out.

23:26Not even your CEO, Jasmine Bloom.

23:30How far away are we?

23:32Ten minutes away.

23:33Great.

23:34Hit the gas.

23:35I need to be at that banquet ASAP.

23:38How dare you act like you were above us?

23:41Not only me, but Miss Bloom?

23:43She controls all of our tech, buddy.

23:46She might be a big deal, a small fry like you.

23:48But she's insignificant to someone at the top of the pecking order.

23:52Me.

23:52Oh, Christ.

23:53Jesus.

23:54And I was, out of the goodness of my own heart, going to ask her to provide you with a job here as a janitor.

24:01You want me to work as a janitor?

24:04Till you deserve to finally do something that might bring you some honor.

24:08Jasmine Bloom won't even afford to hire me.

24:11Because I am the CEO General of Stork Enterprises.

24:18Okay, okay.

24:19Let's stop this act.

24:21Jasmine Bloom will destroy a nobody like you with just a snap of her finger.

24:26Really?

24:27She's that powerful?

24:28Well, you better be careful.

24:30Because if you lay a finger on me, the almighty Jasmine Bloom will make you regret it.

24:35You truly are delusional.

24:39I will literally never regret breaking up with you.

24:43Really?

24:44I predict that you will regret it soon.

24:47What do you even know?

24:49How many times do we have to tell you this?

24:51My dad is Bloom Tech's VP.

24:54With us on Daniella's side, her rise to power is certain, baby.

24:58Are you sure about that?

24:59Yes.

25:00It's Toby.

25:05Yes, that's Toby.

25:07Cancel Daniella's welcome banquet.

25:09And tell everyone at Bloom Tech that Adam Johnson and Rick Dixon's dad are fired.

25:16Okay, that's very funny.

25:18You and your cell phone arm.

25:21I have been with the Bloom Tech Foundation since it began.

25:24I'm one of their top employees.

25:26And I'm sorry, you think you could fire someone like me with just a simple phone call?

25:32Oh, this is nothing.

25:34With one call, I can wipe out all at Bloom Tech if I want to.

25:42Hello?

25:45Yeah?

25:47Oh, our CEO Jasmine Bloom is outside.

25:50She's firing me?

25:52What?

25:53What?

25:56Wait, wait.

25:59Our CEO Jasmine Bloom is here?

26:03And she wants to fire me if I don't throw out the trash that's crashing the party?

26:08Oh.

26:09Oh, yeah.

26:10I get it.

26:10Yeah, you almost got me there.

26:11Funny guy, this guy, huh?

26:13Yeah.

26:14Yes, ma'am.

26:15Right away.

26:16Jasmine Bloom is outside the campus and she's here for Dr. Dunst's banquet.

26:21Oh, did you hear that, Daniella?

26:24The Lady Bloom is here to celebrate you.

26:26Oh, my God.

26:28I am so excited.

26:30Do you understand that the number one woman on the Forbes CEO list?

26:33Oh, yeah.

26:39What, does that do you do?

26:42Do you know nothing?

26:43Yeah.

26:44Do you know anything else?

26:45Do you know nothing else?

26:46Jan pour it.

26:46Do you know nothing?

26:47I'm so excited.

26:48I'm so excited.

26:49I'm so excited.

26:51If you're with Rinpoche, don't you care about it.

26:54You're welcome.

26:55Take me to your appointment.

26:59Right?
