Transcript
00:00What the hell happened here? The machine! It's smoking!
00:03I don't know. It shouldn't be doing that.
00:06We're following the exact same procedures we've always done.
00:08Well, it is. Look at it.
00:10If this machine goes down, we're going to have to shut down the whole plant.
00:13We're going to lose millions of dollars.
00:16Norris, I don't care what you do.
00:18Fix it by the end of the day or you're done.
00:24What are you just standing there for? Fix it!
00:26Um, well, Tom, the thing is, we don't know what the problem is.
00:30We don't know what's wrong.
00:31What do you mean? Didn't you go to college for this fucking shit?
00:33We just used to do what the older guys and Hank would do.
00:35They would diagnose it and they would solve it.
00:38Fuck!
00:38I'm so fucking sick of this fucking Hank guy.
00:42What do you want me to do?
00:43You want me to go back and bring back those old fossils that I just fucking fired?
00:46Fuck off!
00:47This whole plant isn't going to suddenly cease to function
00:49because a few wrinkly old farts got laid off.
00:52That's bullshit. Now fucking fix it. Faster!
00:54Faster!
00:57Ms. Wolfe, I just don't see why we need a mechanic like Hank Walker right now.
01:01Don't we already have an expert from Apex AI working on the CNC machine, though?
01:04We already lost one full production line.
01:06If we lose another, that could mean hundreds of millions of dollars of loss and profits.
01:10Look, you keep an eye on the factory and I will go find Hank.
01:12This is the only one I trust to fix this.
01:14There will never be a replacement for good, old-fashioned human ingenuity.
01:18Machines and humans can work together to create the most efficient outcome.
01:21But a machine will never replace a human.
01:29Breaking news.
01:30A Webster motor car with bulky brakes caused a deadly explosion,
01:33killing three college students.
01:35As the company's silence raises questions about accountability,
01:38authorities are investigating.
01:40God damn it!
01:41Do you see this?
01:43They're calling our car a burning coffin.
01:45They act like we killed those kids ourselves.
01:47We need to figure out why the door jammed or Webster's going belly under.
01:50Hear you, but we've already dropped $100K on diagnostic tests alone and nothing not up.
01:56I don't want to hear your excuses.
01:57You're a goddamn Ivy League graduate.
02:00I pay you $200,000 a year.
02:02Either figure it out or find a new job.
02:05And what the hell do you think you're doing?
02:07Tinkering around.
02:08You have to run a whole AI diagnostic system and you're over here fiddling.
02:13With all due respect, Mr. Russell,
02:14I know the Webster Corsair, like the back of my hand.
02:18I designed this car back in the day.
02:19I'll figure out what's wrong with it.
02:21We have a million-dollar AI diagnosis who can't turn up anything.
02:24But you're going to figure it out with a $5 wrench?
02:27Well, fancy gadgets and high-minded degrees.
02:31It'd be important, but sometimes what you need is plain old experience.
02:34You know what?
02:35Go ahead.
02:35I got nothing to lose.
02:36But if anything goes wrong, it's on your ass.
02:38Don't worry.
02:40I won't mess this up.
02:41Let's go.
02:45Since I'm this fire,
02:48I will sense of
02:51this deep desire.
02:57Found it.
03:00See that?
03:02From a shirt.
03:03Car owner must have made a legal modification,
03:05snagged it on a thread during the installation,
03:08and jammed the latch during impact.
03:10Webster's not at fault.
03:11You saved the company a few million, buddy.
03:14Let's go show the boss.
03:15You are embarrassing me,
03:16and you're embarrassing yourself.
03:17I think I found the problem.
03:22Ah, you old son of a bitch.
03:23You did it.
03:24All right, I'm going to go to the press,
03:26tell the board all the good news.
03:28You're a hero at Webster Motor.
03:29Attention, everyone.
03:36This concludes today's shift.
03:38Please shut down your stations and clock out.
03:40Drive safe, and we'll see you tomorrow.
03:48Oh, Mr. Walker.
03:49Can I have a word?
03:50Oh.
03:52Of course.
03:52Of course.
03:59Um, this is a car my nephew got from her grandmother.
04:04It's a collector's item,
04:06which means it's one of a kind,
04:07and you're the only one I trust to fix it.
04:09You know, it's funny.
04:09Last week it was a plane.
04:11This week it's a car.
04:13Your nephew sure likes to break things, huh?
04:16They're some messy teenagers.
04:17Tell me about it.
04:19My daughter was the same way.
04:21I can have it back to you tomorrow.
04:23Great.
04:24Here's your payment.
04:25100k.
04:25Miss Wolf, it's an easy fix.
04:30You don't have to pay me.
04:32Good to see you.
04:33Oh, Hank, wait.
04:38Hank, wait.
04:43I'll be straight with you.
04:44Okay, you've been at Webster for 40 years.
04:46You know cars.
04:48You're one of the best engineers in the world.
04:50But they treat you worse than the mechanics that work for an hourly rate.
04:55Why don't you come work for me at Mach 15?
04:58We're developing a new supercar.
04:59Silver Link's Model A, and I want you to be in charge.
05:02The starting pay is $10 million.
05:05That's a lot of money.
05:07But you said so yourself, Miss Wolf.
05:09I've been with Webster Motors for 40 years.
05:13And any time I have remaining, I just assume it be with them.
05:17Old mucks like me, we're the backbone of Detroit's industry.
05:21And you got a good job on your hands, and you should give it to a youngster.
05:25As for me, just stick to toy cars.
05:33Hey, look who's early.
05:36Hey, how you doing, man?
05:37Good.
05:37Oh, hey.
05:40Come sir, Tom Norris.
05:42You reckon he's here to give us a bonus?
05:44I doubt it.
05:46Move.
05:47Move, move, move, move, move.
05:48All right, all right, all right.
05:49Hey, listen up.
05:51I have an announcement.
05:53Webster Motors has gone through a change of hands.
05:55We've been purchased by Tesalux.
06:00Ah, ah, ah.
06:01Yes, that Tesalux, the EV car company.
06:04Sir, a big man upstairs is now some guy named Elon.
06:08Tesalux is a tech company.
06:10Big emphasis on tech.
06:12So all you boomers, you're fired.
06:15You're fired.
06:20Wait, what?
06:21Wait, what?
06:21Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
06:23We're all fired.
06:25That can't be right.
06:27Oh, you need me to spell it out for you?
06:29Fine.
06:30Webster Motors has purchased a cutting-edge AI detection system from Apex AI for over 10 billion.
06:38And let me tell you, this software makes all of you has-been boomers look like a bunch of fucking amateurs.
06:43It'll do more for this company in 10 minutes than you could do in 10 years.
06:50So, go home.
06:52Wait for death to come knocking.
06:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
06:55Now, hold on.
06:56That ain't right.
06:57Look, we are the backbone of Webster Motors, right?
07:01We built this company up from the ground.
07:03Hell, some of us were here before Webster was.
07:05You can't just let us go.
07:06That is workplace discrimination, right, boys?
07:09Yeah, right.
07:10We're going to fucking sue you.
07:12Well, it's not ageism if you're just bad.
07:14We're a tech company now.
07:16We need computer people who write AI that does what you do, but they do it better and faster.
07:23Face it.
07:24This is the 21st century.
07:26Everything is fast and digital.
07:28It's time for you washed-up old barts to pack your little backs and fuck off.
07:33Because like it or not, you've been replaced.
07:35I might not know anything about AI, but I do know one thing.
07:39These machines here, they're finicky.
07:41And unless real people are monitoring the assembly line at all times, it's only a matter of time before something goes boom.
07:49And all production stops.
07:51That's right.
07:52What do you mean everything goes boom?
07:54I've worked here for 40 years.
07:57I know these machines.
07:59They need to be checked on and resurviced.
08:01Otherwise, you're going to lose billions.
08:03Oh, okay.
08:05So you're saying the reason that I can't fire you old bucks is because I need someone to watch the machine all day or it's going to go boom?
08:14That's right.
08:15And you better make sure they have the experience to know what they're looking for.
08:18Oh, holy fuck.
08:20You're a real fucking shameless one, you know?
08:23I know you won't be able to get another job, but that doesn't mean you can make shit up either.
08:27I'm not making anything up.
08:29I'm telling you how it is based on my experience.
08:31All right.
08:32Old man, I got to go.
08:33All right?
08:34But don't think you're anything special because of yesterday.
08:37I downloaded the source code from the diagnostic test myself, and that car was perfectly fine.
08:43You lucked out with that screw.
08:45So all you need to do is go back and rot in hospice.
08:49No, no, no.
08:50How dare you?
08:51How dare you?
08:52We built this city with our own hands.
08:54We are the ones that brought industry to Detroit.
08:56Yeah.
08:57We did all that hard labor so kids like you could go run off to college.
09:01And now this is how you're going to treat us?
09:02Shut up.
09:03Right?
09:03Shut up.
09:04Shut up.
09:04Shut up, you disgusting old fucking hicks, or I'll call the cops as if now you're fired.
09:11So this is trespassing.
09:13Tom, you need to tell the assembly line supers about the maintenance.
09:18If something happens to one of these machines, it's going to cost Webster millions, and it's
09:22a safety hazard.
09:23I do not give a fuck about your experience.
09:26That is all subjective bullshit.
09:28We have the cold, hard facts right here.
09:30Our new AI detection system will be fully operational in a few short days.
09:36You really think it can't handle a few finicky machines?
09:39It'll have them back in tip-top shape before you old schmucks need to get your gloves on.
09:44Now hurry up and scram, or you can forget about your final fucking paycheck.
09:49It's all right.
09:55It's all right.
09:55Let it go, okay?
09:56Look, you warned him plenty about the assembly line, huh?
09:59It's his own fault now if you won't miss him.
10:02Come on, fellas.
10:03Let's go.
10:03Let's get out of here.
10:04Guy's a creep.
10:06What do you mean you can't fix it?
10:07I pay you millions of dollars for what?
10:10Mach 15 is on the line, and if you can't fix it-
10:12Miss Wolf, Miss Wolf, can't you see that I'm on the phone?
10:15Webster Motors just fired that old car mechanic you told me to keep an eye on.
10:18I'll call you back.
10:21They fired Hank Walker?
10:24Evelyn, I need you to find him.
10:26Our CNC mills just suffered a critical error, and he's the only one that can fix it.
10:29Make sure he gets here, okay?
10:31We need him!
10:32Got it, boss.
10:32I'll offer him a job.
10:33What's the pay ceiling?
10:36There's no ceiling.
10:37We're paying him whatever he wants.
10:40I'll have you, Hank.
10:42Hey, I'll catch up with you, Hank.
10:43Hi, I'm looking for a Mr. Walker.
10:48Who, Hank?
10:49Yeah, he just missed him.
10:50He went to go see his daughter.
10:54Grandpa!
10:56Oh!
10:58Oh!
11:00Grandpa, I missed you so much.
11:02I didn't even get to clear you all up for whole year.
11:06I know, kiddo.
11:07Your grandpa was busy at work.
11:09But I'm going to have a lot more time now.
11:11I can come over every day if you want.
11:13Yeah?
11:15Oh, you're getting strong.
11:17Dad, shouldn't you be at work?
11:20I'm actually not going to be working there anymore.
11:23Webster laid me off.
11:25You got fired?
11:28Fuck.
11:30What are we going to do about the mortgage now?
11:32Mortgage?
11:32What are you talking about?
11:34The mortgage for this house, you stupid old fuck.
11:37Hannah and I have been using your paycheck to pay off the mortgage.
11:39What are we going to do now?
11:40They're going to foreclose on us.
11:42Jesse, I've been giving you my paycheck since you and Helen got married.
11:46Why isn't the mortgage paid off yet?
11:49Because a whole year's worth of your salary didn't even last me a single night in Vegas.
11:54So you were gambling it.
11:55I bust my back 10 hours a day and what?
11:59You gambled it all away in one night on craps?
12:02Poker?
12:03I can't believe you two.
12:04All right?
12:05I've given everything for you guys.
12:06I stopped drinking coffee for you, all right?
12:08I barely scrape by on $300 a month.
12:12And you flush it down the drain gambling?
12:16Look, oh man, I don't care.
12:18But Helen and I need the money to pay off the mortgage.
12:20And until you get another job, I want you to stay away from Audrey.
12:25No, Grandpa!
12:28What's gotten into you, Jesse?
12:30I'm near retirement, okay?
12:33What's an old man like me supposed to do?
12:36You and Helen and little Audrey, you guys are all that I have.
12:40I just want to see this little girl grow up, okay?
12:44Please.
12:45I already lost my wife.
12:46Don't talk about my mom.
12:48If you weren't so stubborn, if you would have just left Detroit when you had the chance,
12:53she would have had better insurance coverage and not die.
12:57I would be in a better place, too.
12:59And now we're all stuck in this hellhole because of you.
13:06You're useless.
13:07My buddy Tom Norris got promoted to senior engineer in a year.
13:12You've been there for decades.
13:13And you're still just some low-level mechanic.
13:17Now get out.
13:18Now stay away from Audrey.
13:20Grandpa!
13:21Grandpa!
13:23You want to see Audrey again?
13:24Who brings a nice, fat paycheck?
13:28Jesse's right.
13:29Good job.
13:30You owe that to us.
13:31Now go dumpster dive if you have to.
13:33Grandpa!
13:34Grandpa!
13:35I just didn't want to give up on my city.
13:42Is that so wrong?
13:47Oh, look at that stinky hobo.
13:50Let's cross the street before he gets all his germs on us.
13:52Webster still hasn't given us our last paycheck.
14:04And I haven't eaten since last night.
14:05Guess this will have to be my dinner.
14:18Holy shit.
14:28Hank Walker.
14:29The rock star engineer behind our 1987 Webster Corsair.
14:34What are you doing?
14:35Eating out of a dumpster.
14:37Tom, you know this guy.
14:38Yeah.
14:39Fired him yesterday.
14:41He's a piece of shit mechanic who wouldn't stop going on about,
14:43Oh, the assembly line's going to explode.
14:46So I got rid of him.
14:48It's no laughing matter, Tom.
14:50I'm serious.
14:50If you're not careful, that whole assembly line is going to malfunction.
14:54Oh, fuck, man.
14:55Still stuck on that?
14:57That is bullshit.
14:59Hank Walker.
14:59They may have kept you around for 40 years because they're dumb.
15:03But I know you're nothing special.
15:05If you were anything like me, you'd at least be a manager.
15:08Well, they did ask me.
15:10But I turned them down because I want to work with cars.
15:14That's what I do best.
15:15And I don't need some empty title.
15:17But Tom, you have got to listen to me, okay?
15:20Have your guys watch the line.
15:21Otherwise, it's going to cost Webster millions.
15:23What a joke.
15:24I can't play you.
15:26Look, this is our newest software.
15:30All the lights are green.
15:32Green means good.
15:34See?
15:34Nothing can possibly go wrong.
15:37Warning.
15:38Malfunction detected.
15:40Initiating emergency stop protocol.
15:44No way this bastard got it right.
15:48What the hell happened here?
15:50The machine, it's smoking.
15:52I don't know.
15:52It shouldn't be doing that.
15:54We're following the exact same procedures we've always done.
15:57Well, it is.
15:58Look at it.
15:59If this machine goes down, we're going to have to shut down the whole plant.
16:03We're going to lose millions of dollars.
16:07Norris, I don't care what you do.
16:09Fix it by the end of the day or you're done.
16:16What are you just standing there for?
16:18Fix it.
16:20Um, well, Tom, the thing is, we don't know what the problem is.
16:23We don't know what's wrong.
16:24What do you mean?
16:25Didn't you go to college for this fucking shit?
16:27We just used to do what the older guys and Hank would do.
16:30They would diagnose it and they would solve it.
16:33Fuck!
16:34I'm so fucking sick of this fucking Hank guy.
16:37Yeah?
16:38What do you want me to do?
16:39You want me to go back and bring back those old fossils that I just fucking fired?
16:43Fuck off!
16:44This whole plant isn't going to suddenly cease to function because a few wrinkly old farts got laid off.
16:50That's bullshit.
16:51Now fucking fix it.
16:52Faster!
16:56Miss Wolfe, I just don't see why we need a mechanic like Hank Walker right now.
17:01Don't we already have an expert from Apex AI working on the CNC machine mill?
17:05We already lost one full production line.
17:07If we lose another, that could mean hundreds of millions of dollars of loss and profits.
17:11Look, you keep an eye on the factory and I will go find Hank because he's the only one I trust to fix this.
17:16There will never be a replacement for good, old-fashioned human ingenuity.
17:21Machines and humans can work together to create the most efficient outcome.
17:25But a machine will never replace a human.
17:37Getting scrapped, sir?
17:38You know it.
17:39We still have a lot of material that we need to get rid of.
17:43If you can carry it, it's all yours.
17:47Sir, there must be something you can do.
17:49We need to fix this now.
17:50Well, luckily you came to the right place.
17:52I mean, we here at Apex AI know exactly what we're doing.
17:55We can handle stuff like this in our sleep.
17:57So we're just going to have our diagnostics run on it, figure out a problem, and boom.
18:02Bob's your uncle.
18:02So this is Apex AI's new detection software?
18:06It looks brilliant.
18:07Jesus lady.
18:11I mean, what did you do to this thing?
18:12This is a critical failure.
18:14Is there any way you can get it fixed by the end of the day?
18:16We need to have production back on schedule or my boss is going to kill me.
18:20I know that machine.
18:21The reading is off simply because the sensor skips without a manual check.
18:25I mean, this is not a job that you can finish in a day, okay?
18:27I mean, this is going to take like a week.
18:29We don't have a week.
18:30We have a client waiting on us.
18:31We have to get these parts machined now.
18:33Is there anything else you can do, please?
18:36I mean, we might have a solution.
18:39It's just the pay that you're offering, though.
18:42$2,000 for an eight-hour workday?
18:44Then...
18:45It just needs a reset.
18:47They're asking for even more.
18:49Ah.
18:50Mr. Pierre and Mr. Esteban, money is not an issue.
18:53I will give you $2 million each for your work here today.
18:55And if all goes well, there'll be a little bonus in it for you both as well.
18:59Okay.
19:00All right, don't worry about it, good-looking.
19:01All right, fix the machines.
19:02That's our job.
19:03It's a very tough and thankless and very, very difficult job, but we'll get it up and running for you.
19:09I can't believe they just scammed that poor girl.
19:12And then you're going to twist it the other way?
19:15Get in there.
19:16See?
19:16Our new AI tool has a solution for everything.
19:19Ah!
19:20Whoa!
19:20Ah!
19:21Ah!
19:22Ah!
19:22Ah!
19:22Well, step 37, that's what it said.
19:25Jeez, this isn't ever happening when Hank was around.
19:28Shut up!
19:29Do I really fuck up by firing those old-timers?
19:32I'm not going to have to bring Hank back on board, am I?
19:37What?
19:38Apex AI's tech experts are over at Mach 15?
19:42Oh, perfect.
19:43Those guys are a golden ticket to fixing this machine.
19:45I'll head over right now.
19:54Alrighty.
19:55Fire it up.
19:59Go!
19:59Not yet.
20:04You can't.
20:05You gotta reset the machine first.
20:07Otherwise, you'll be operating under the faulty presets.
20:10You're leading this machine down a one-way path to catastrophic failure.
20:14Okay, I'm sorry.
20:15Who the fuck is this guy?
20:17Go back, get your scrap, get out of here.
20:19Okay?
20:19You're distracting us from this billion-dollar machine here.
20:23It's an easy fix.
20:25But I bet you two knew that, didn't you?
20:27You talked it up to her so you could get that extra pay.
20:31What are you talking about?
20:32Wow.
20:32You know what, Ms. Evelyn, can you get your guys to get him out of here?
20:35Okay, he's distracting us from working.
20:37Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to step back, please.
20:39We have plenty of scrap metal, and I'd be happy to help you get it.
20:42Miss, miss, forget the scrap metal.
20:44If you give me 10 minutes with this machine, I will tell you exactly what's wrong with it.
20:48And I'll fix it for you.
20:50Free of charge.
20:51Whoa, whoa, whoa.
20:52Okay, so you saying you can fix this in 10 minutes?
20:55We're two of the best mechanics in the world armed with a brand spanking new AI detection system.
20:59Now, if we can't pull this off in 10 minutes, what's a scruffy old fart like you gonna do?
21:03You may have your fancy AI, but these machines, they were built by people, and they're meant to be maintenanced by people.
21:11I've been in this industry for 40 years.
21:13Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.
21:14You need somebody like Hank Walker.
21:17Ms. Wolfe said he's a genius car mechanic, and he would know how to fix this.
21:25That's me.
