00:00:00Breaking news, a Webster motor car with faulty brakes caused a deadly explosion, killing three college students.

00:00:06As the company's silence raises questions about accountability, authorities are investigating.

00:00:10God damn it!

00:00:12Do you see this?

00:00:13They're calling our car a burning coffin.

00:00:16They act like we killed those kids ourselves.

00:00:18We need to figure out why the door jammed or Webster's going belly under.

00:00:21Hear you, but we've already dropped 100K on diagnostic tests alone and nothing now.

00:00:26I don't want to hear your excuses.

00:00:28You're a goddamn Ivy League graduate.

00:00:31I pay you $200,000 a year, either figure it out or find a new job.

00:00:36And what the hell do you think you're doing?

00:00:38Tinkering around.

00:00:39We have to run a whole AI diagnostic system.

00:00:42Mr. Russell, I know the Webster Corsair, like the back of my hand.

00:00:46I designed this car back in the day.

00:00:47I'll figure out what's wrong with it.

00:00:48We have a million-dollar AI diagnostic, so we can't turn up anything.

00:00:52But you're going to figure it out with a $5 wrench?

00:00:54Well, fancy gadgets and high-minded degrees can be important, but sometimes what you need

00:01:00is plain old experience.

00:01:02You know what?

00:01:02Go ahead.

00:01:03I got nothing to lose.

00:01:04But if anything goes wrong, it's on your ass.

00:01:06Don't worry.

00:01:07I won't mess this up.

00:01:09Let's go.

00:01:10Found it.

00:01:28See that?

00:01:29From a shirt.

00:01:30Our owner must have made a legal modification, snagged it on a thread during installation,

00:01:35and jammed the latch during impact.

00:01:37Webster's not at fault.

00:01:38You saved the company a few million, buddy.

00:01:41Let's go show the boss.

00:01:42You are embarrassing me, and you're embarrassing yourself.

00:01:45I think I found the problem.

00:01:49Ah, you old son of a bitch.

00:01:51You did it.

00:01:52All right, I'm going to go to the press and tell the board all the good news.

00:01:56You're a hero at Webster Motor.

00:01:57Attention, everyone.

00:02:03This concludes today's shift.

00:02:05Please shut down your stations and clock out.

00:02:07Drive safe, and we'll see you tomorrow.

00:02:15Oh, Mr. Walker.

00:02:17Can I have a word?

00:02:18Oh.

00:02:19Of course.

00:02:20Um, this is a car my nephew got from his grandmother.

00:02:32It's a collector's item, which means it's one of a kind, and you're the only one I trust

00:02:36to fix it.

00:02:37It's funny.

00:02:37Last week it was a plane.

00:02:39This week it's a car.

00:02:41Your nephew sure likes to break things, huh?

00:02:43They're just messy, teenagers.

00:02:45Tell me about it.

00:02:46My daughter was the same way.

00:02:48I can have her back to you tomorrow.

00:02:50Great.

00:02:51Is your payment?

00:02:53100k.

00:02:55Miss Wolf, it's an easy fix.

00:02:58You don't have to pay me.

00:03:00Good to see you.

00:03:01Oh, Hank, wait.

00:03:06Hank, wait.

00:03:11I'll be straight with you.

00:03:12Okay, you've been at Webster for 40 years.

00:03:14You know cars.

00:03:16You're one of the best engineers in the world, but they treat you worse than the mechanics

00:03:20that work for an hourly rate.

00:03:22Why don't you come work for me at Mach 15?

00:03:25We're developing a new supercar, Silverlink's Model A, and I want you to be in charge.

00:03:29The starting pay is $10 million.

00:03:33That's a lot of money, but you said so yourself, Miss Wolf.

00:03:38I've been with Webster Motors for 40 years, and any time I have remaining, I just assume

00:03:44it be with them.

00:03:45Old mucks like me, we're the backbone of Detroit's industry.

00:03:49You got a good job on your hands, and you should give it to a youngster.

00:03:53As for me, just stick to toy cars.

00:03:56Hey, look who's early.

00:04:04Hey, how you doing, man?

00:04:05Good.

00:04:06Oh, hey.

00:04:07Hank.

00:04:08Come sir, Tom Norris.

00:04:10You reckon he's here to give us a bonus?

00:04:12I doubt it.

00:04:14Move.

00:04:15Move, move, move, move.

00:04:17Hey, listen up.

00:04:19I have an announcement.

00:04:20Webster Motors has gone through a change of hands.

00:04:23We've been purchased by Tesalux.

00:04:28Yes, that Tesalux, the EV car company.

00:04:32Sir, a big man upstairs, now some guy named Elon.

00:04:36Tesalux is a tech company.

00:04:38Big emphasis on tech.

00:04:40So all you boomers, you're fired.

00:04:43Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:04:51We're all fired.

00:04:53That can't be right.

00:04:55Oh, you need me to spell it out for you?

00:04:56Fine.

00:04:58Webster Motors has purchased a cutting-edge AI detection system from Apex AI for over 10 billion.

00:05:05And let me tell you, this software makes all of you has-been boomers look like a bunch of fucking amateurs.

00:05:11It'll do more for this company in 10 minutes than you could do in 10 years.

00:05:17So, go home.

00:05:19Wait for death to come knocking.

00:05:22Now, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:05:23Now, hold on.

00:05:24That ain't right.

00:05:25Look, we are the backbone of Webster Motors, right?

00:05:29We built this company up from the ground.

00:05:31Hell, some of us were here before Webster was.

00:05:33You can't just let us go.

00:05:34That is workplace discrimination, right, boys?

00:05:37Yeah, right.

00:05:38We're gonna fucking sue you.

00:05:39Well, it's not ageism if you're just bad.

00:05:42We're a tech company now.

00:05:44We need computer people who write AI that does what you do, but they do it better and faster.

00:05:51Face it.

00:05:52This is the 21st century.

00:05:53Everything is fast and digital.

00:05:56It's time for you washed-up old farts to pack your little bags and fuck off.

00:06:01Because like it or not, you've been replaced.

00:06:02I might not know anything about AI, but I do know one thing.

00:06:07These machines here, they're finicky.

00:06:09And unless real people are monitoring the assembly line at all times, it's only a matter of time before some production stops.

00:06:16That's right.

00:06:16What do you mean everything goes boom?

00:06:19I've worked here for 40 years.

00:06:22I know these machines.

00:06:23They need to be checked on and resurviced.

00:06:26Otherwise, you're gonna lose billions.

00:06:28Oh, okay.

00:06:30So, so, so you're saying the reason that I can't fire you old fucks is because I need someone to watch the machine all day or it's gonna go boom?

00:06:39Yeah, that's right.

00:06:40And you better make sure they have the experience to know what they're looking for.

00:06:43Oh, holy fuck.

00:06:45You're a real fucking shameless one, you know.

00:06:48I know you won't be able to get another job, but that doesn't mean you can make shit up either.

00:06:51I'm not making anything up.

00:06:54I'm telling you how it is based on my experience.

00:06:56All right.

00:06:57Old man, I gotta go.

00:06:58All right?

00:06:59But don't think you're anything special because of yesterday.

00:07:02I downloaded the source code from the diagnostic test myself, and that car was perfectly fine.

00:07:07You lucked out with that screw.

00:07:10So, all you need to do is go back and rot in hospice.

00:07:14No, no, no.

00:07:15How dare you?

00:07:16How dare you?

00:07:17We built this city with our own hands.

00:07:19We are the ones that brought industry to Detroit.

00:07:21Yeah.

00:07:21We did all that hard labor so kids like you could go run off to college.

00:07:26And now this is how you're gonna treat us?

00:07:27Shut up.

00:07:28Right?

00:07:28Shut up.

00:07:29Shut up.

00:07:29You disgusting old fucking hicks.

00:07:32Or I'll call the cops.

00:07:34As of now, you're fired.

00:07:35So, this is trespassing.

00:07:37Tom, you need to tell the assembly line supers about the maintenance.

00:07:43If something happens to one of these machines, it's gonna cost Webster millions.

00:07:46And it's a safety hazard.

00:07:48I don't give a fuck about your experience.

00:07:51That is all subjective bullshit.

00:07:53We have the cold, hard facts right here.

00:07:55Our new AI detection system will be fully operational in a few short days.

00:08:00You really think it can't handle a few finicky machines?

00:08:03It'll have them back in tip-top shape before you old schmucks need to get your gloves on.

00:08:08Now hurry up and scram or you can forget about your final fucking paycheck.

00:08:19It's alright.

00:08:20It's alright.

00:08:20Let it go, okay?

00:08:21Look, you warned him plenty about the assembly line, huh?

00:08:23It's his own fault now if you won't miss it.

00:08:27Come on, fellas.

00:08:28Let's go.

00:08:28Let's get out of here.

00:08:29Guy's a creep.

00:08:30What do you mean you can't fix it?

00:08:32I pay you millions of dollars for what?

00:08:35Mach 15 is on the line and if you can't fix it...

00:08:37Miss Wolf, Miss Wolf.

00:08:38Can't you see that I'm on the phone?

00:08:39Webster Motors just fired that old car mechanic.

00:08:41You told me to keep an eye on him.

00:08:44I'll call you back.

00:08:46They fired Hank Walker?

00:08:48Evelyn, I need you to find him.

00:08:51Our CNC mills just suffered a critical error and he's the only one that can fix it.

00:08:54Make sure he gets here, okay?

00:08:56We need him.

00:08:56Got it, boss.

00:08:57I'll offer him a job.

00:08:58What's the pay ceiling?

00:09:00There's no ceiling.

00:09:02We're paying him whatever he wants.

00:09:05I'll have you, Hank.

00:09:07Hey, I'll catch up with you, Hank.

00:09:11Hi, I'm looking for a Mr. Walker.

00:09:13Who, Hank?

00:09:14Yeah, he just missed him.

00:09:15He went to go see his daughter.

00:09:19Grandpa!

00:09:19Grandpa, I miss you so much.

00:09:27I didn't even get to clear you all up for home.

00:09:31I know, kiddo.

00:09:32Your grandpa was busy at work.

00:09:34But I'm going to have a lot more time now.

00:09:36I can come over every day if you want.

00:09:38Yeah?

00:09:39Ah!

00:09:41Oh, you're getting strong.

00:09:42Dad.

00:09:43Shouldn't you be at work?

00:09:45I'm actually not going to be working there anymore.

00:09:48Webster laid me off.

00:09:50You got fired?

00:09:53Fuck.

00:09:54What are we going to do about the mortgage now?

00:09:57Mortgage?

00:09:57What are you talking about?

00:09:58The mortgage for this house, you stupid old fuck.

00:10:01Hannah and I have been using your paycheck to pay off the mortgage.

00:10:04What are we going to do now?

00:10:05They're going to foreclose on us.

00:10:06Jesse, I've been giving you my paycheck since you and Helen got married.

00:10:11Why isn't the mortgage paid off yet?

00:10:13Because a whole year's worth of your salary didn't even last me a single night in Vegas.

00:10:19So you were gambling it.

00:10:21I bust my back 10 hours a day and what?

00:10:24You gambled it all away in one night on craps?

00:10:27Poker?

00:10:28I can't believe you two.

00:10:29All right?

00:10:29I've given everything for you guys.

00:10:31I stopped drinking coffee for you, all right?

00:10:33I barely scrape by on $300 a month.

00:10:37And you flush it down the drain.

00:10:38Gambling?

00:10:39Look old man, I don't care.

00:10:42But Helen and I need the money to pay off the mortgage.

00:10:45And until you get another job, I want you to stay away from Audrey.

00:10:50Oh, Grandpa!

00:10:53What's coming into you, Jesse?

00:10:55I'm near retirement, okay?

00:10:58What's an old man like me supposed to do?

00:11:01You and Helen and little Audrey, you guys are all that I have.

00:11:05I just want to see this little girl grow up, okay?

00:11:07Please.

00:11:10I already lost my wife.

00:11:11Don't talk about my mom.

00:11:13If you weren't so stubborn, if you would have just left Detroit when you had the chance,

00:11:17she would have had better insurance coverage and not die.

00:11:20I would be in a better place, too.

00:11:24And now we're all stuck in this hellhole because of you.

00:11:30You're useless.

00:11:32My buddy Tom Norris got promoted to senior engineer in a year.

00:11:37You've been there for decades.

00:11:38And you're still just some low-level mechanic.

00:11:42Now get out.

00:11:43Now stay away from Audrey.

00:11:46Grandpa!

00:11:47You want to see Audrey again?

00:11:49Who brings a nice, fat paycheck?

00:11:53Jesse's right.

00:11:54Good job.

00:11:55You owe that to us.

00:11:56Now go dumpster dive if you have to.

00:11:58Grandpa!

00:12:00Grandpa!

00:12:02Grandpa!

00:12:03Grandpa!

00:12:04I just didn't want to give up on my city.

00:12:06Is that so wrong?

00:12:12Oh, look at that stinky hobo.

00:12:14Let's cross the street before he gets all his germs on us.

00:12:17Webster still hasn't given us our last paycheck.

00:12:29And I haven't eaten since last night.

00:12:41Guess this will have to be my dinner.

00:12:47Holy shit.

00:12:53Nick Walker.

00:12:54The rock star engineer behind our 1987 Webster Corsair.

00:12:58What are you doing?

00:13:00Eating out of a dumpster.

00:13:01Tom, you know this guy.

00:13:03Yep.

00:13:04Fired him yesterday.

00:13:05He's a piece of shit mechanic who wouldn't stop going on about,

00:13:08Oh, the assembly line's going to explode.

00:13:10So I got rid of him.

00:13:12Don't laughing matter, Tom.

00:13:14I'm serious.

00:13:15If you're not careful, that whole assembly line is going to malfunction.

00:13:18Oh, fuck, man.

00:13:20Still stuck on that?

00:13:21That is bullshit.

00:13:23Hank Walker.

00:13:25They may have kept you around for 40 years because they're dumb.

00:13:28But I know you're nothing special.

00:13:30If you were anything like me, you'd at least be a manager.

00:13:33Well, they did ask me.

00:13:35But I turned him down.

00:13:36Because I want to work with the cars.

00:13:39That's what I do best.

00:13:40And I don't need some empty title.

00:13:42But Tom, you have got to listen to me, okay?

00:13:44Have your guys watch the line.

00:13:46Otherwise, it's going to cost Webster millions.

00:13:48What a joke!

00:13:49I can't with you.

00:13:52Look, this is our newest software.

00:13:54All the lights are green.

00:13:56Green means good.

00:13:58See?

00:13:59Nothing can possibly go wrong.

00:14:02Warning.

00:14:03Malfunction detected.

00:14:05Initiating emergency stop protocol.

00:14:07No way this bastard got it right.

00:14:13What the hell happened here?

00:14:15The machine, it's smoking.

00:14:16I don't know.

00:14:17It shouldn't be doing that.

00:14:19We're following the exact same procedures we've always done.

00:14:22Well, it is.

00:14:23Look at it.

00:14:24If this machine goes down, we're going to have to shut down the whole plant.

00:14:28We're going to lose millions of dollars.

00:14:30Norris, I don't care what you do.

00:14:34Fix it by the end of the day or you're done.

00:14:41What are you just standing there for?

00:14:43Fix it!

00:14:44Um, well, Tom, the thing is, we don't know what the problem is.

00:14:48We don't know what's wrong.

00:14:49What do you mean?

00:14:50Didn't you go to college for this fucking shit?

00:14:52We just used to do what the older guys and Hank would do.

00:14:55They would diagnose it and they would solve it.

00:14:58Fuck!

00:14:59I'm so fucking sick of this fucking Hank guy.

00:15:02What do you want me to do?

00:15:04You want me to go back and bring back those old fossils that I just fucking fired?

00:15:08Fuck off!

00:15:09This whole plant isn't going to suddenly cease to function because a few wrinkly old farts got laid off.

00:15:15That's bullshit.

00:15:15Now fucking fix it.

00:15:17Faster!

00:15:17Miss Wolfe, I just don't see why we need a mechanic like Hank Walker right now.

00:15:25Don't we already have an expert from Apex AI working on the CNC machine mill?

00:15:30We already lost one full production line.

00:15:32If we lose another, that could mean hundreds of millions of dollars of loss and profits.

00:15:36Look, you keep an eye on the factory and I will go find Hank because he's the only one I trust to fix this.

00:15:41There will never be a replacement for good, old-fashioned human ingenuity.

00:15:45Machines and humans can work together to create the most efficient outcome.

00:15:50But a machine will never replace a human.

00:16:02Getting scrapped, sir?

00:16:03You know it.

00:16:04We still have a lot of material that we need to get rid of.

00:16:08If you can carry it, it's all yours.

00:16:11Sir, there must be something you can do.

00:16:13We need to fix this now.

00:16:15Well, luckily, you came to the right place.

00:16:17I mean, we here at Apex AI know exactly what we're doing.

00:16:20We can handle stuff like this in our sleep.

00:16:22So we're just going to have our diagnostics run on it, figure out a problem, and boom, Bob's your uncle.

00:16:28So this is Apex AI's new detection software?

00:16:31It looks brilliant.

00:16:34Jesus, lady.

00:16:35I mean, what did you do to this thing?

00:16:37This is a critical failure.

00:16:39Is there any way you can get it fixed by the end of the day?

00:16:41We need to have production back on schedule or my boss is going to kill me.

00:16:45I know that machine.

00:16:46The reading is off simply because the sensor skips without a manual check.

00:16:50I mean, this is not a job that you can finish in a day, okay?

00:16:52I mean, this is going to take like a week.

00:16:53We don't have a week.

00:16:54We have a client waiting on us.

00:16:55We have to get these parts machined now.

00:16:58Is there anything else you can do, please?

00:17:01I mean, we might have a solution.

00:17:04It's just the pay that you're offering, though.

00:17:07$2,000 for an eight-hour workday?

00:17:09Then, yeah.

00:17:10It just needs a reset.

00:17:12They're asking for even more.

00:17:13Ah.

00:17:15Mr. Pierre and Mr. Espan, money is not an issue.

00:17:18I will give you $2 million each for your work here today.

00:17:20And if all goes well, there will be a little bonus in it for you both as well.

00:17:24Okay.

00:17:24All right, well, don't worry about it.

00:17:25Good-looking.

00:17:26All right, fix the machines.

00:17:27That's our job.

00:17:28It's a very tough and thankless and very, very difficult job, but we'll get it up and

00:17:32run it for you.

00:17:33I can't believe they just scammed that poor girl.

00:17:37And then you're going to twist it the other way?

00:17:39Get in there.

00:17:41See?

00:17:41Our new AI tool has a solution for everything.

00:17:44Whoa!

00:17:45Oh!

00:17:46Oh!

00:17:47Oh!

00:17:48Oh!

00:17:49Oh!

00:17:50Oh!

00:17:51Oh!

00:17:52Oh!

00:17:53Oh!

00:17:54Oh!

00:17:55Oh!

00:17:56Oh!

00:17:57I'm not going to have to bring Hank back on board, am I?

00:18:02What?

00:18:03Apex AI's tech experts are over at Mach 15?

00:18:07Oh, perfect.

00:18:08Those guys are a golden ticket to fixing this machine.

00:18:11I'll head over right now.

00:18:12All righty.

00:18:19Fire it up.

00:18:24No!

00:18:26Not yet.

00:18:28You can't.

00:18:29You got to reset the machine first.

00:18:32Otherwise, you'll be operating under the faulty presets.

00:18:35You're leading this machine down a one-way path to catastrophic failure.

00:18:39Okay, I'm sorry.

00:18:40Who the fuck is this guy?

00:18:41Go back, get your scrap, get out of here.

00:18:44Okay, you're distracting us from this billion-dollar machine here.

00:18:48It's an easy fix, but I bet you two knew that, didn't you?

00:18:52You talked it up to her so you could get that extra pay.

00:18:55What are you talking about?

00:18:56Wow.

00:18:57You know what, Miss Evelyn, can you get your guys to get him out of here?

00:18:59Okay, he's distracting us from working.

00:19:02Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to step back, please.

00:19:04We have plenty of scrap metal, and I'd be happy to help you get it.

00:19:07Miss, miss, forget the scrap metal.

00:19:09If you give me ten minutes with this machine, I will tell you exactly what's wrong with it.

00:19:13And I'll fix it for you, free of charge.

00:19:16Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:19:16Okay, so you're saying you can fix this in ten minutes?

00:19:20We're two of the best mechanics in the world armed with a brand spanking new AI detection system.

00:19:24Now, if we can't pull this off in ten minutes, what's a scruffy old fart like you gonna do?

00:19:28You may have your fancy AI, but these machines, they were built by people,

00:19:33and they're meant to be maintenance by people.

00:19:35I've been in this industry for 40 years.

00:19:37Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

00:19:39You need somebody like Hank Walker.

00:19:41Miss Wolf said he's a genius car mechanic, and he would know how to fix this.

00:19:50That's me.

00:19:54I am Hank Walker.

00:19:55Wait, Hank Walker?

00:19:56Isn't that the genius supercar engineer that Boss wanted to hire?

00:20:00I need to call her.

00:20:0240 years in the industry.

00:20:04Well, you was a custodian, right?

00:20:05What makes you think you know more than someone with a master's degree, man?

00:20:08You really, really think that you know more than this billion dollar AI detection system.

00:20:14You're taking us for a ride, you stupid old fuck.

00:20:17Watch your tone, young man.

00:20:19If she had pressed that start button, this machine, she would have fried the microcontroller.

00:20:23What you need to do is reset the system.

00:20:25Let it cool down first, and you start it back up before you run anything.

00:20:28How did you know that?

00:20:30Because I'm the best technician for 40 years.

00:20:33Do you really think that you can fix this in 10 minutes?

00:20:36Of course I can.

00:20:38No, he can't.

00:20:40This redneck is a useless piece of shit union monkey that I fired from Webster yesterday.

00:20:46He doesn't know jack about tech.

00:20:48He's just out of a job, desperate for cash.

00:20:51Oh, you really had us going.

00:20:53You disgusting old fart.

00:20:54Here we are thinking you're just some genius engineer.

00:20:57You ain't nothing but a scammer.

00:20:59Tom Norris, something must have gone very wrong at Webster for you to be here at a competitor.

00:21:05They told you to wash those machines.

00:21:06Shut up.

00:21:08You spent the last 40 years swapping out blinker fluid.

00:21:12What do you know about cars?

00:21:14Poor engineering.

00:21:16You see this?

00:21:17This blows you out of the fucking water.

00:21:20What did you say to Hank Walker?

00:21:23Oh my gosh, why is Boss here?

00:21:24Oh, Miss Wolf?

00:21:30Hank, I'm asking you as a front.

00:21:32If you can fix this, I owe you a big one.

00:21:34We have a huge order coming in, and we have to fill it.

00:21:37Or we break contract and we get sued into oblivion.

00:21:41Don't worry, Miss Wolf.

00:21:42Wait, Miss Wolf.

00:21:42Out of respect, I'm so sorry.

00:21:44Do you really trust him?

00:21:47You're putting him against a billion dollar AI detection system here.

00:21:50It's my machine, and I will take responsibility.

00:21:54And I would appreciate it that if you stop insulting my guest, you may not look it.

00:22:02But Hank is one of the best auto engineers in the world.

00:22:05And he's been fixing machines since before you were born.

00:22:08Are we looking at the same guy here?

00:22:11Miss Wolf, I am from one of your competitors, but I would hate for you to get scammed.

00:22:17He got fired from Webster because he is worthless.

00:22:20I'm sorry, who are you?

00:22:22And what are you doing in my factory?

00:22:24I'm a senior engineer at Webster and a graduate from MIT.

00:22:29I'm happy to give you my advice, Miss Wolf.

00:22:32Hank is useless.

00:22:33He's gonna break that machine, and he can't afford to pay you back.

00:22:39Mom Norris, why don't you and I make a little bet, huh?

00:22:43If I fix this machine here, I want you to write a formal letter of apology to all my old co-workers.

00:22:49Everyone that you fired.

00:22:51And in that letter, I want you to tell them that there is no substitute for a seasoned, experienced mechanic.

00:22:59Not even AI.

00:23:02Sure thing, buddy.

00:23:04And if you fuck it up, I want you to post online that you're a stupid old fuck and a useless liar.

00:23:13And then, I want you to come back and I want you to lick my shoes clean.

00:23:18You shut your mouth.

00:23:22I don't care who you are.

00:23:23Miss Wolf.

00:23:24But if you continue to disrespect my guests, I will have security to toss you out.

00:23:27He was my subordinate.

00:23:28I know exactly what he is capable of, which is to say nothing.

00:23:34Bye.

00:23:35Miss Wolf.

00:23:37Miss Wolf, it's okay.

00:23:39I'm warning you right now.

00:23:41Let's shake on it, then.

00:23:43I'll bet.

00:23:48Let's see what you can do, old fuck.

00:23:52I'll make damn sure the next generation learns that experience is the one asset no machine can replace.

00:23:58And I'll prove the value of every fellow worker who's built this industry in Detroit.

00:24:04Watch and learn.

00:24:13Hank!

00:24:14What the hell do you think you're doing?

00:24:15What the hell do you think you're doing?

00:24:17Jesse.

00:24:18Grandpa!

00:24:19Audrey.

00:24:21Tom called me.

00:24:22He told me that you're at Mach 15 working on some multi-million dollar tech.

00:24:26Your name is on the house.

00:24:29If you get sued and we lose the house, where are we going to go?

00:24:33You stop this.

00:24:34You stop this right now.

00:24:35For your own good, Hank, you barely make 1k a month.

00:24:39You can't afford to pay them back.

00:24:41It's simple game theory.

00:24:42Did you hear that, old man?

00:24:44If you touch that machine again, we are cutting you off.

00:24:47And you are never, ever, going to see Helen or Audrey again.

00:24:54No, no, I don't want you to-

00:24:56You shut your mouth.

00:25:06No, no, I don't want you to leave, please grab me, please don't go.

00:25:09God, come on, stop making a fool of yourself.

00:25:25I know you're a mechanic, but you work on old, beat up cars.

00:25:28Not million dollar heavy machinery.

00:25:30I mean, even the freaking AI is stumped.

00:25:33How the hell are you going to know how to fix it?

00:25:35Helen, what happened to you?

00:25:37You used to believe in me.

00:25:40You used to say, you can fix anything.

00:25:43I started working with cars because you loved them.

00:25:47Don't you remember?

00:25:49You drew this for me.

00:25:51And I kept it in my wallet every day for inspiration.

00:25:54Helen, what happened to you?

00:25:57Why are you like this?

00:25:59I was six, okay?

00:26:04But now I'm a grown ass woman.

00:26:06And I became this way because I have a deadbeat father who's too afraid to leave a dying city

00:26:11and let his whole family just suffer with him.

00:26:22Look, if you still care about me at all, stop whatever you're doing.

00:26:27You already ruined my life.

00:26:29My mom died because of you.

00:26:33You're just a nobody.

00:26:34Stuck in a dead end job in an industry that's way past its glory days.

00:26:38And you're still waiting for a miracle.

00:26:41Bad mommy!

00:26:43No, I trust you, grandpa.

00:26:45You can get the machine working again.

00:26:47Thank you for still believing in me, Audrey.

00:26:50Give it up, Hank.

00:26:52You can't fix shit.

00:26:54And you know it.

00:26:55That combination mill is worth millions.

00:26:59And your daughter's property won't even start to cover it.

00:27:04Hank, don't worry about the damages.

00:27:06This is my company and I trust you.

00:27:09If you mess anything up, I will eat the cost and you won't owe a single cent.

00:27:15A deal is a deal.

00:27:16And if Hank fixes this machine, you owe him and everybody else you laid off an apology.

00:27:21Well, let me show you how it's done.

00:27:34Well done.

00:27:44Holy shit.

00:27:45Nine minutes and 41 seconds.

00:27:46I mean, how on earth did you manage that?

00:27:48I used to do it all the time.

00:28:04Back at Webster, I'd fix 20 CNC machines in one afternoon on a bad day.

00:28:0620 of these things.

00:28:07Even with our AI detection software, it would take a week to do that many.

00:28:17Thank you so, so much.

00:28:19There aren't words for what you did.

00:28:21You just bailed us out of bankruptcy.

00:28:23No, no, you lost because I just plugged some algorithms in and my data, it's showing me

00:28:29that there is no way you could have fixed this machine in 10 minutes.

00:28:32You're a liar.

00:28:33I knew it.

00:28:34I was on to you from the very beginning, you greasy old fart bag.

00:28:36You didn't even turn it on, did you?

00:28:38And our processing unit is still going, so you have zero proof that you even did anything.

00:28:42Yeah.

00:28:43Yeah, who's to say it was even going to run, huh?

00:28:46A clown.

00:28:47All these union rats are the same.

00:28:49They're like the vermin of Detroit.

00:28:51Grandpa Hanks is not a rat.

00:28:53He's the coolest guy in Detroit.

00:28:56That's right.

00:28:57Mechanics like me, we're the backbone of Detroit.

00:29:00Just watch.

00:29:00When I pull that lever there, it's going to start up like a gem.

00:29:07Ready?

00:29:21Looks like your little pet project didn't do much.

00:29:23You better grab a puke bag, because you're going to lick my shoes clean.

00:29:31Wait to see.

00:29:35It's okay.

00:29:46Everything's reading completely safe.

00:29:49You actually did it in less than 10 minutes.

00:29:51No, there is no way that boomer actually did it.

00:29:54He doesn't know jack about tech.

00:29:59Yay, Grandpa!

00:30:01I knew you can do it!

00:30:02Thank you so, so much.

00:30:05I mean, you just brought us back billions.

00:30:08You saved Mach 15.

00:30:09I was happy to do it.

00:30:11So what if he didn't fix it?

00:30:13He's still unemployed, and he's still not bringing home any money.

00:30:17Stop being mean to Grandpa!

00:30:23He nearly fixed it like you said he would.

00:30:25Hank, I would again like to offer you a position.

00:30:29I want you as my lead supercar engineer.

00:30:33With a starting salary of 10 million dollars.

00:30:3610 million dollars?

00:30:45That is unheard of for an engineer.

00:30:47Because I'm not an idiot like you.

00:30:50And I recognize a diamond in the rough when I see it.

00:30:58No way!

00:31:00It actually says 10 million dollars.

00:31:03Someone is really offering to pay millions for my dad.

00:31:06And here I thought he was old and useless.

00:31:09I was so wrong about him.

00:31:13And he's worth every single penny that's coming to him.

00:31:17And I'm offering him company shares.

00:31:26Sign it, Hank.

00:31:28After everything you've done for this industry.

00:31:33This whole flat.

00:31:37I can't thank you enough, but I can't in good conscience take 10 million dollars.

00:31:42No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:31:44Wait, hold that thought, hold that thought.

00:31:46Yes, you can, Hank.

00:31:47And you should.

00:31:48That lady said that you were worth every single cent.

00:31:51That means you're a pro.

00:31:53I've always known that you'd have a knack for this engineering thing.

00:31:57But this, this, this proves it.

00:31:59Dad, if you take that money, we pay off our mortgage.

00:32:03But we only have a hundred thousand left.

00:32:05And Audrey, we could afford to send her to the best school.

00:32:08And buy that pony she's always wanted.

00:32:10Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:32:12Just think about it.

00:32:13If you'd be working at Mach 15, you'd have dibs on all their supercars.

00:32:17I have been itching to get my hands on a new ride.

00:32:22And just think how cool it would be for Audrey to go to school in one of those beasts.

00:32:28Funny.

00:32:29I don't remember the two of you treating Hank this way when you first walked in here.

00:32:35I'm not buying it.

00:32:36There is no way that he fixed that machine.

00:32:41What the hell are you talking about?

00:32:44He just fixed it.

00:32:45We all watched him fix it.

00:32:46If it wasn't him, who was it?

00:32:48He just tapped it a few nuts and bolts.

00:32:51You think that's going to magically solve anything?

00:32:54This machine is only working of Esteban and Pierre's AI software.

00:32:59All we had to do was turn it on and it would have been working as good as new like it is now.

00:33:04Hank just swooped in and took all the credit.

00:33:07Yeah, that's right.

00:33:08All you did was pull a lever.

00:33:10Meanwhile, Pierre and I did everything else.

00:33:12You jerk, you lied to us.

00:33:14That's why you didn't want us to turn it on before, because you knew it would work.

00:33:18You just wanted to steal our thunder.

00:33:20Miss Wolfe, that is unacceptable behavior for a future hire.

00:33:24That's not what happened.

00:33:26And you all know that.

00:33:31Tom Norris, where the hell are you?

00:33:34When are those experts going to get here?

00:33:36I am on my way.

00:33:39They're coming right now, boss.

00:33:41I promise.

00:33:41Huh.

00:33:42They better show up soon, because if we don't get it fixed by the end of the day, you are fired!

00:33:48I don't have time to waste on you freaks anymore.

00:33:54Mr. Dan, Mr. Pierre, would you mind popping over to Webster Motors with me?

00:33:59We're just in a little bit of a pickle with one of our machines, and we could really use your expertise.

00:34:05I promise you we would treat you with the utmost respect, unlike these rude idiots at Mach 15.

00:34:10Yeah, you know what?

00:34:11Sure, because everybody else has sided with this fake mechanic over here.

00:34:17Let's go somewhere where our skills will be appreciated.

00:34:19Thank you kindly.

00:34:20Absolutely.

00:34:21Tom, it's no use.

00:34:23They're not going to be able to fix your machine.

00:34:25Well, I beg to differ.

00:34:27I think they have real skill and talent, unlike you.

00:34:30Yeah, Hank, while you're busy pulling levers and flipping buttons and doing whatever you're doing,

00:34:36we do all the real work.

00:34:38And you know what? You're the one who broke that machine.

00:34:43So you're going to come back with me to Webster's and fix it.

00:34:51We'll find out soon enough.

00:34:53Hell no, we won't go!

00:35:06Hell no, we won't go!

00:35:08Hell no, we won't go!

00:35:10Hell no, we won't go!

00:35:12Hell no, we won't go!

00:35:14Hell no, we won't go!

00:35:16Hey, Hank, what's going on here?

00:35:17We're processing the layoffs.

00:35:19What do you think, man?

00:35:19Hey, hey, come on.

00:35:21Join us.

00:35:22I can't today.

00:35:23They're here doing some repairs and I'm tagging along to make sure nothing bad goes happen.

00:35:27One of the assembly line machines malfunctioned.

00:35:30It malfunctioned.

00:35:32Already?

00:35:33It serves them right.

00:35:34You know, I bet they're running around in there like a bunch of headless chickens.

00:35:37Can't do anything right without us, huh?

00:35:39You know what?

00:35:40I got to see it for myself.

00:35:41Come on, I'm going in with you.

00:35:43Keep going, fellas.

00:35:43Hell no, we won't go!

00:35:45Hell no, we won't go!

00:35:46Hell no, we won't go!

00:35:48Hell no, we won't go!

00:35:52Fix it!

00:35:53It's what you're paying for.

00:35:55Boss, I bought them.

00:35:56Oh, good.

00:35:58Here they are.

00:35:59Good to see you, Tom.

00:36:00Yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:36:04Ted, Hank, what are you doing here?

00:36:06We laid you off.

00:36:07Came to watch you crash and burn, that's what.

00:36:09Yeah, I wanted to see how things were holding up.

00:36:12Now they're using this, uh, faulty AI instead of us experienced folks.

00:36:17I'll deal with you later.

00:36:18Tom, boss just called.

00:36:19He's breathing down my neck.

00:36:20If we don't get this figured out and fixed, we're both fired.

00:36:23Please, you're the experts, right?

00:36:24You gotta help us.

00:36:25Yeah, relax, Tom.

00:36:26Lucky for you, we got the world's best AI on our side.

00:36:28So we'll just get this bad boy started up quickly and, um, be on our way.

00:36:32No, you got this all wrong, okay?

00:36:35It's a heat issue.

00:36:36It's not something one little AI test can resolve.

00:36:40If you want to get to the root of this problem, it's going to take some time.

00:36:46Shut up about your heat, Hank, okay?

00:36:51Because when the experts fix this with their detection system,

00:36:54and it turns out not to be a heat problem, you're going to look like a pathetic liar.

00:36:59Look, I'm telling you, Tom, you got to do something about the heat.

00:37:02Otherwise, it's just going to keep erroring.

00:37:04Okay, okay, that's nonsense, okay?

00:37:06This guy doesn't have the slightest idea of the powers of AI.

00:37:09Tom, I'm telling you, do not waste your time on clowns like him.

00:37:13All right, success is imminent.

00:37:14Once production is back online, I'm going to expose your lies to hell and back online.

00:37:20And then, everyone's going to hate you, and Mob 15 will have to fire you for PR.

00:37:24You better pray they know what they're doing, because it certainly doesn't look like that.

00:37:26Oh, yeah.

00:37:41Yeah.

00:37:42Yeah.

00:37:42All right.

00:37:45Turn it on.

00:37:46No, you can't.

00:37:46Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:37:48You and your heat.

00:37:48You know what, buddy?

00:37:50Screw you.

00:37:51Okay, I've checked this time.

00:37:52Everything's completely fine.

00:37:54So get with the times, old man.

00:37:56All our checks are AI-driven now, and the experts are saying the heat is not an issue.

00:38:01So turn it on!

00:38:03I said, turn it on!

00:38:05Oh, see?

00:38:24What did I say?

00:38:25I'm telling you, Boomer, we don't need you.

00:38:31Look, it may be running fine right now, but it's just going to keep overheating until it

00:38:36malfunctions again.

00:38:37Buddy, do you think anyone here actually cares about what you're saying?

00:38:41You're fucking screwed, buddy, because everyone knows that you're a liar, you can't fix shit,

00:38:46and that you're locked out back in that 15 with their machine.

00:38:49Yeah, you know what, Hank?

00:38:51When I first met you, I did think that you were something special.

00:38:54Now I agree with Tom.

00:38:56You're nothing but a fraud.

00:38:57I knew it.

00:38:58I knew it from the moment I saw you.

00:39:01I know you wasn't no genius engineer.

00:39:03I can't believe you, man.

00:39:04You made me sick over here comparing yourself to us.

00:39:07Please.

00:39:08Anyway, thank you gentlemen so much for coming in.

00:39:11You saved me and Tom's asses.

00:39:13Oh, yeah.

00:39:13No, it's just part of the job, all right?

00:39:15Um, I'm sure Tom here lets you know that we charge, uh...

00:39:2020?

00:39:21Thousand?

00:39:21What?

00:39:2220K?

00:39:23For what?

00:39:23Hang on, I'm getting the impression here that you don't think that our work was,

00:39:27was worth it.

00:39:29Last time I checked, I just saved your ass from getting fired.

00:39:31Get out of me.

00:39:32No, not at all, Mr. Esteban.

00:39:34The way I see it, 20K?

00:39:36Plenty reasonable.

00:39:37I mean, 20K got us results, which is much more than what Hank did for 10 million

00:39:43twiddling his little thumbs.

00:39:44You know, I can't believe you'd lie to the CEO of Mach 15.

00:39:48A woman.

00:39:50If I were you, I'd call her right now and tell her everything before I get sued.

00:39:58Speak for yourself, Tom.

00:40:00This machine's gonna error any day now.

00:40:02Shut up, okay?

00:40:04Security, kick him out.

00:40:05Throw him into oncoming traffic for all I...

00:40:07All right, that's it.

00:40:08You've gone too far, sir.

00:40:09You know something?

00:40:10Old folks like us have worked way too hard so you could get where you're at.

00:40:13Now, I'm not gonna stand by and let you treat Hank like dirt.

00:40:15Oh, no, no, no.

00:40:16Tom.

00:40:18Machine's gonna error again.

00:40:21Three, two, one.

00:40:24Oh, fuck.

00:40:29Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

00:40:41What the hell happened?

00:40:42I thought you said I was fixed, Mr. 20K.

00:40:44It was fixed, okay?

00:40:45I don't know what happened.

00:40:46It just...

00:40:46Just...

00:40:47Let me see something.

00:40:48You are wasting my time.

00:40:49Tom, where did you find these quacks?

00:40:51They're the best experts around, I swear.

00:40:55These are your best experts with their empty talk about their high-concept fancy AI software,

00:41:02whatever.

00:41:04Let me tell you something.

00:41:05These two bozos and their pink shirts can't hold a torch to Hank Walker.

00:41:10This sort of stuff never happened back when he was around.

00:41:12Fucking shut up because he didn't do anything about the assembly line, okay?

00:41:16Fix it right now.

00:41:18I don't care what the fuck you need to do, but if you don't, I'm gonna blame it on you.

00:41:22Hang on, hang on.

00:41:22I don't know why you're blaming us here, okay?

00:41:24This is your machine.

00:41:24Because you're the one who broke it, you asshole.

00:41:27So fix it.

00:41:28If you get me fired, I'm gonna hack into your code base and make you two pay.

00:41:32Okay, okay, just hang on there real quick, okay?

00:41:35We'll just...

00:41:35Just look into it, okay?

00:41:38We'll look into the, uh...

00:41:39You know, heat dissipation process.

00:41:52Heat?

00:41:53Like what Hank said earlier?

00:41:58Oh wait, how did he guess that?

00:41:59I told you, Tom.

00:42:00If you had just listened to me, we would have been out the door an hour ago.

00:42:07Lorne Russell!

00:42:08What is taking so long?

00:42:10I want results now!

00:42:11We're, we're, we're on it.

00:42:12We're working on it right now.

00:42:13It's gonna be done soon.

00:42:15What's with all the stuttering?

00:42:17I've said it once and I'll say it again.

00:42:20Show me results or don't bother showing up!

00:42:24Useless SOBs.

00:42:26All of them!

00:42:27We bought Webster's because they had the best machines around.

00:42:31What happened to their operations?

00:42:34I have to go take a look myself.

00:42:37Hey, hey, Tom. Hey, just, just relax, okay?

00:42:39We'll figure something out, all right?

00:42:40You've got one last fucking shot!

00:42:44Hank, Hank, Hank, you, you said you know what this is, right?

00:42:46That you said this was a heat dissipation process.

00:42:48So that means you know how to fix it, right?

00:42:50Right?

00:42:50Of course I can.

00:42:51All right, well, can you please fix it for us, all right?

00:42:53Whatever they're paying us, we'll give you half.

00:42:55We just...

00:42:56What?

00:42:56We cannot lose our million-dollar machine.

00:42:59Hey, pal, you messed up that machine yourself.

00:43:02It's got nothing to do with Hank.

00:43:03Yeah, well, we've been thinking about that, and, um...

00:43:06Look, to just tell you the truth, man,

00:43:07we lied about it from the very beginning, okay?

00:43:08Times are tough, man, and we try to extend this job

00:43:11just like a quick buck.

00:43:12Yeah, yeah, man.

00:43:13You really fed us our humble pie today,

00:43:15and who knew you would fix the whole thing in 10 minutes?

00:43:18So, Hank, please, you're the only one

00:43:20that can help us with this, man.

00:43:21Please, please help us.

00:43:23Where is the machine?

00:43:25Why is it smoking?

00:43:29Where is the machine?

00:43:31Why is it smoking?

00:43:32Tom, Tom, I thought you hired the experts.

00:43:34They're here, they're here.

00:43:34Where are they?

00:43:36They're here.

00:43:41Oh, hi, uh, you must be the expert.

00:43:43Um, we need to fix this machine.

00:43:45We need to fix it fast.

00:43:46We're willing to pay anything.

00:43:48No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:43:49That's the expert.

00:43:50Hi, yeah.

00:43:50Hello.

00:43:51Uh, about that, yeah, we can't fix it.

00:43:56Okay, Hank is the only one that can.

00:43:57He is the real expert, not us.

00:44:00Hank, Hank Walker.

00:44:02Hank, Hank Walker, you know,

00:44:06he has been on about this fucking bullshit for ages.

00:44:08Just ignore him.

00:44:10The only thing Hank is good at is getting fired and lying.

00:44:13Hold on, you did not just say that.

00:44:19Hold on, you did not just say that.

00:44:21Hank was our go-to guy for 40 years before you fired him.

00:44:26You don't get it.

00:44:27You could spend all day on your gadgets.

00:44:30You still won't know half the stuff Hank does about Webster's machines.

00:44:34That's...

00:44:35You know what, your old boss used to rave about how good you were.

00:44:39But, uh, seeing as we are a tech company now, uh, our production line is under full supervision

00:44:46of our new AI detection system.

00:44:48So, uh, your grandpa skills are no longer needed.

00:44:54Capiche?

00:44:56So, you must be the expert.

00:44:57Uh, we need this up and running fast.

00:44:59You're not listening to me, okay?

00:45:02I can't do it.

00:45:03Pierre can't do it.

00:45:04Hank here is the only expert.

00:45:05We're useless.

00:45:09You heard what Tom said.

00:45:13This is some old fart that we just fired last week.

00:45:17He's an incompetent union pig just like the rest of them.

00:45:20I wouldn't even trust him to fix my vacuum, let alone a state-of-the-art million-dollar machine.

00:45:25He's gonna break it.

00:45:26Look, you're gonna have to find someone else.

00:45:28I'm done with Webster.

00:45:29Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:45:31You know what?

00:45:31If Hank's done, then we're out of here too.

00:45:33We're not touching it.

00:45:34What?

00:45:35Why?

00:45:35He's just a stupid union hack.

00:45:37Please, Webster is counting on you.

00:45:40We need you.

00:45:41Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:45:43What if we can pay Hank to fix it?

00:45:45Like, like, purchase it like a patented method.

00:45:47What if we can get him to sell his technique?

00:45:51And then, like, therefore it would technically be ours, right?

00:45:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:45:54That's good.

00:45:54That's fine.

00:45:55That's good to say.

00:45:56Hey, Hank.

00:45:58My, uh, associate here and I would actually like to offer you a position.

00:46:01If you're willing to show us your techniques, we'd be willing to buy them.

00:46:04Think of it as, like, a sort of patent.

00:46:08You want to pay me for my tinkering skill?

00:46:11Exactly.

00:46:16Mr. Walker, our company is definitely wanting your skill set to be on board with us,

00:46:20and we've prepared a very generous offer.

00:46:25If you would just show your, show your technique just one more time.

00:46:28Really?

00:46:30I mean, are my skills really worth that much?

00:46:33Well, yeah.

00:46:33Um, and just to reiterate, all you got to do is show us.

00:46:36And if you're willing to sell it, we'd be willing to buy it.

00:46:39Come on, Hank.

00:46:42Let them be, man.

00:46:43These guys laid us off.

00:46:45It's not on us to help them anymore.

00:46:47Let the machines break down on them and serve them right for hanging us out to dry.

00:46:51Ted, it's all right, okay?

00:46:52I worked here for 40 years.

00:46:54I may not care about management, but I care about those machines.

00:46:59I'll fix them.

00:47:06I'll fix them.

00:47:08But I'm only going to show you once, so keep your eyes peeled, okay?

00:47:10Fair enough, fair enough.

00:47:11Wait, who, whoa, whoa.

00:47:13He can't just go in there and start banging things around.

00:47:16If you break something, that's, that's on you.

00:47:19Not me, not Lorne, you.

00:47:21I can't afford that.

00:47:22That's a PRA HWK cutter.

00:47:25That's a 20 million dollar machine, minimum.

00:47:28Now, you just wait a second, okay?

00:47:29Have some faith in Hank.

00:47:30He's the only man that can do it, so just let him do it, okay?

00:47:33If he breaks it, it's going to cost.

00:47:35Okay, yeah, well, if he breaks it, we'll pay for it.

00:47:39Whoa.

00:47:40All right, all right, deal.

00:47:42But you better not go back on your word.

00:47:44Hank?

00:47:49Floor's yours.

00:47:50Plus, why don't you let this wacko touch our machine?

00:48:06It stunts even the experts.

00:48:07He's going to break it.

00:48:09Exactly.

00:48:10If he breaks the machine, we could shoot him and get a brand new model.

00:48:13We won't have to fix it anymore if it's brand new.

00:48:15Yeah.

00:48:16Nice.

00:48:17All right, I will get some footage and I'll prep our evidence for the courts.

00:48:27All right.

00:48:28All done.

00:48:31It's been like five minutes.

00:48:32Did you not break something?

00:48:34Take a look for yourself.

00:48:35Start her up.

00:48:36Turn it on, then.

00:48:38Let's see.

00:48:38Oh, yes.

00:48:54Yes.

00:48:55Oh, my God, Hank, you did it.

00:48:58We knew you were the right guy for the job.

00:48:59Wait, wait, wait.

00:49:00He fucking did it?

00:49:02You're surprised?

00:49:03You young bucks are so caught up in your computers and your AI.

00:49:07You forgot real hands-on experience.

00:49:10And when it comes to that, nobody better than Hank Walker.

00:49:14Letting him go is probably one of the worst mistakes he ever did.

00:49:17Well, I'm going to take off, then.

00:49:20Experts, if you want to talk about buying my techniques, I'm all ears.

00:49:24No, not yet.

00:49:27No, not fucking yet.

00:49:29You stay right there.

00:49:31What is it now?

00:49:33I fixed your machine, didn't I?

00:49:35Well, fucking says you, dude.

00:49:37Okay, see here.

00:49:39So, I'll give it to you that all the sensors are green.

00:49:42But we don't know when it's going to fucking break again.

00:49:44So you are staying here to make sure it doesn't break again.

00:49:48Tom, you fired the guy.

00:49:50He still fixed the machine for you.

00:49:52You can't just keep him here.

00:49:53Like Tom said, all right, if he leaves, we're all alone.

00:49:57Hank has to stay.

00:49:58Yeah, last time you told us it was fixed and then it got jammed.

00:50:02If you want to leave, you have to fucking give us something.

00:50:07You got to pay us.

00:50:08Insurance.

00:50:10Pay you?

00:50:12For what?

00:50:12Because you fucking broke our machine.

00:50:15I recorded everything and I'm going to plug in some algorithms

00:50:18and it's going to tell me exactly what steps you did wrong.

00:50:22Now wait just a damn minute, okay?

00:50:23Hank here has done everything that you guys have asked him to,

00:50:26so he doesn't owe you anything.

00:50:28Hank, we are willing to offer you a blank check

00:50:32if you just tell us how you fix the machine.

00:50:35We are willing to offer you a blank check if you just tell us how you fix the machine.

00:50:45Esteban is serious about that offer.

00:50:47Don't tell me Hank's actually a genius engineer in disguise.

00:50:50If that's the case, I gotta figure out a way to keep him.

00:50:54To be honest, I'm not sure what my skills are worth.

00:50:58I promise you, any number that you put on that check, we will honor that.

00:51:01Hank, your skills are priceless.

00:51:03Well, let me sleep on it.

00:51:06Wait, you still have to fix all the other machines in the assembly line.

00:51:10Then why should I do that?

00:51:12Huh?

00:51:14You fired me, threw me away like trash.

00:51:16I won't have anything else to do with Webster Motors, okay?

00:51:19It's not my job.

00:51:20We may have fired you, but the skills you learned, you learned them here, okay?

00:51:24You can leave, that's fine, but your skills, they stay here.

00:51:29Do you even hear yourself right now?

00:51:31Yeah, 40 years.

00:51:33That's decades of experience that you owe to Webster Motors.

00:51:38The least you could do is fix the rest of the machines.

00:51:40You owe us.

00:51:42I owe you.

00:51:4540 years.

00:51:46I was here 40 goddamn years.

00:51:49Rain, sleet, hail, snow.

00:51:51I came in.

00:51:53I did the work no one else wanted to do.

00:51:56My back is shot.

00:51:58My knees scream when I wake up in the morning, but I showed up every goddamn shift.

00:52:05You paid us minimum wage and acted like it was charity.

00:52:09Called us essential, then threw us away like trash.

00:52:12You know why I stayed?

00:52:14Webster Motors.

00:52:16That name used to mean something.

00:52:20My father worked here.

00:52:22I thought I believed I was a part of something.

00:52:27Something to help build America.

00:52:30My wife got sick.

00:52:32Our health plan was worthless.

00:52:34I buried her with a pocket full of overdue hospital bills.

00:52:40My daughter, she won't speak to me anymore.

00:52:42She says I chose this place over family.

00:52:46And you know what?

00:52:47Maybe she's right.

00:52:48Maybe I did.

00:52:51But I stayed in Detroit.

00:52:54I watched jobs disappear, factories shut down.

00:52:58But I stayed here because I thought loyalty meant something.

00:53:02A pension, a pension, a promise.

00:53:05That's all I ever wanted.

00:53:08But instead, I got nothing.

00:53:10Not a paycheck, no security, not even a thank you.

00:53:15And you sit in your glass office, wearing your suit paid for by the bones of men like me.

00:53:20So don't you dare tell me that I didn't give enough.

00:53:23We gave you everything.

00:53:26And you gave us nothing.

00:53:30There's nothing left for us to give.

00:53:34And before you kicked us to the curb, I warned him about those machines.

00:53:39And did he do anything about it?

00:53:42No, you didn't, did you?

00:53:43He warned you about the machine?

00:53:48He warned you about the machines?

00:53:53I think he might have said something.

00:53:55I thought he was talking shit.

00:53:57You thought wrong.

00:53:59That thinking of yours cost us millions of dollars.

00:54:02How would I know what would happen?

00:54:04You, you fucking fuck.

00:54:06Now you're the one that has to pay.

00:54:08I can't afford 20 million dollars.

00:54:10Please, sir, please.

00:54:13My apologies, Mr. Walker.

00:54:15It's all Tom's fault.

00:54:16Okay, we want you back.

00:54:18We're gonna double your salary.

00:54:20Double his salary?

00:54:26What is that, like, three thousand dollars?

00:54:30Ms. Wolfe, you're the CEO of Black 15.

00:54:33What are you doing here?

00:54:34Hank works for me now.

00:54:36So I'm here to take him back to my company.

00:54:38And just so we're clear, do you want to take a wild guess about how much I'm paying him?

00:54:44Uh, 10, 10, 10K?

00:54:49Try 10 million.

00:54:5410 million?

00:54:5810 million dollars?

00:55:00You've got to be kidding me.

00:55:01Not at all.

00:55:02I mean, I have no reason to lie to you.

00:55:05I have been offering this position to Hank time and time again.

00:55:09And every time, he tells me no.

00:55:12So it's a good thing you fired him when you did, or I would have never gotten him on board.

00:55:17This is your fault.

00:55:18You're the one that fired all these people.

00:55:21You're the reason we lost our diamond in the rough.

00:55:25Hank, let's go.

00:55:26Wait, Hank.

00:55:28I mean, have you had a moment to think about our offer?

00:55:32We really want to patent your methods.

00:55:34I need some more time.

00:55:35Wait a minute, your methods?

00:55:38What is going on?

00:55:39Ms. Wolfe, our parent company is very, very interested in Hank's skills,

00:55:43and we are prepared to give a very, very generous offer

00:55:48in exchange for his repair techniques.

00:55:50How much?

00:55:51Well, we'll start at 10K.

00:55:5510K, you can't be seri...

00:55:59You are all acutely aware of what a catch this man is.

00:56:03And you're still trying to pull the wool over his eyes with some lowball offer like that?

00:56:07Think again.

00:56:07What?

00:56:08Wait, wait, wait, just hold on, hold on.

00:56:10We'll offer him one million dollars.

00:56:14Oh, please, Mr. Esteban.

00:56:16Now you're just trying to play us for fools.

00:56:18His salary is 10 million dollars a year.

00:56:21There's no way you're offering a million dollars for a patented skill.

00:56:25He's demonstrated not once, but twice, just today.

00:56:28Two million, two million.

00:56:30At the end of the day, you wouldn't want to see Webster Motors fall, would you?

00:56:34It's only for 10 minutes of your time.

00:56:37Hang on, buddy, you can't just butt in, okay?

00:56:39He was about to accept our offer for one million dollars.

00:56:41Hey, it's a free market, all right?

00:56:43Free market.

00:56:44It's Hank's decision.

00:56:45Okay, fine.

00:56:51Three million.

00:56:52Four, four, four million.

00:56:54Five.

00:56:55Eight.

00:56:56Eight million.

00:56:58We are way outside of budget.

00:57:00You want bleeding money right now.

00:57:02No.

00:57:03Fuck, fine.

00:57:04Okay, we fold.

00:57:05Ms. Wolfe, eight million dollars.

00:57:08Appreciate it, just to patent his methods for us.

00:57:11I'm sorry, I think you're talking the wrong person.

00:57:13They're Hank's methods, so it's his decision.

00:57:17You're welcome.

00:57:19Hey, hey.

00:57:19Yeah, eight million dollars.

00:57:21That's just the starter, though.

00:57:22Um, you're gonna get five million year by year after,

00:57:26and you won't even have to lift a finger.

00:57:28I've already made my decision.

00:57:31When Ms. Wolfe brought me on to Mach 15,

00:57:33my skills were no longer just mine.

00:57:36They're hers now, too.

00:57:37Her company's been nothing but respectful to me from the beginning.

00:57:40I'm sorry, Gary, I'm not selling.

00:57:43Gary might have overstayed our welcome.

00:57:46Come on.

00:57:47My engineers are dying to meet you.

00:57:55Ms. Wolfe, here are the optimizations for our next-gen supercar

00:57:58that I've worked on for the past three months.

00:58:01Well, they look good so far.

00:58:03Great.

00:58:04I also heard that you're still looking for the lead engineer for the project.

00:58:08I'll be more than happy to...

00:58:10What is this?

00:58:13500 horsepower.

00:58:16That is not what we discussed.

00:58:17I asked for 800.

00:58:19I hired you from Webster because they're known for innovation.

00:58:22So I don't want to see any more regurgitated garbage like this ever again.

00:58:27Do I make myself fear?

00:58:28I can't believe boss poached that numbskull from Webster.

00:58:42I hear they have a genius engineer working there who has never made a machine he can never fix.

00:58:48From more hazard, not even the latest AI detection software can write us its expertise.

00:58:55Why can't we get that guy instead?

00:58:57Right?

00:58:57Man, I wish we had an older guy with more experience rather than this kid.

00:59:01I heard that super engineer from Webster has been there for 40 years.

00:59:05Practically built their first cars himself.

00:59:07There's no way we'll get past him.

00:59:08And Ricky, I already have someone in mind for the lead engineer position.

00:59:13What I would suggest is you worry about your own job before worrying about anyone else.

00:59:18Yeah, Ricky, haven't you heard?

00:59:20Boss has brought in a new guy to be team lead.

00:59:23Insane salary too.

00:59:25And they didn't tell me?

00:59:26Whoever it is, you stole that job right out from under me.

00:59:30You better have some real skills or I'm never letting this go.

00:59:33Miss Wolf?

00:59:37He's here.

00:59:41Perfect.

00:59:43Everyone, this is Hank Walker, your new lead engineer.

00:59:48I spent a fortune on him, but he's well worth every single cent.

00:59:52He's a phenomenal designer and engineer, and I hope you all can learn a lot from him.

00:59:57Oh, he's so handsome.

00:59:59And the way Miss Wolf looks at Hank, I know a crushed nicey one.

01:00:03Welcome to Mach 15, Mr. Walker.

01:00:06Happy to be here, folks.

01:00:08Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.

01:00:12You're the guy from the dumpsters!

01:00:21You're the guy from the dumpsters!

01:00:24Tom, you know this guy?

01:00:26Yep.

01:00:27Fired him yesterday.

01:00:29He's a piece of shit mechanic who wouldn't stop going on about,

01:00:32oh, the assembly lines can explode.

01:00:34So I got rid of him.

01:00:36I know that guy.

01:00:38That's a stupid old hobo that Tom fired.

01:00:41He's a scrap collector.

01:00:42How did he end up at the Mach 15 as a lead engineer?

01:00:46Well, if anyone has any questions about engineering,

01:00:49feel free to ask him.

01:00:50Most importantly, Hank will be taking over our supercar project,

01:00:53the Silver Lynx Model A.

01:00:57So from here on out, you'll all be reporting directly to him.

01:01:00Wait, Ricky, wasn't that your project?

01:01:03She just up and handed it to the new guy?

01:01:04That's boss.

01:01:05You can't do that.

01:01:07This is my project.

01:01:09Hank is not even an engineer.

01:01:11I caught him dumpster diving.

01:01:12He's selling scrap metal for a living.

01:01:14Ricky, watch your tongue.

01:01:16Hank is a generational talent.

01:01:18And I hired him here with the express purpose

01:01:21of him taking over the supercar project.

01:01:23But I saw him.

01:01:24Enough!

01:01:26I suggest if you want to keep your job,

01:01:28that you remain silent.

01:01:38Ah!

01:01:40Ah!

01:01:45Ah!

01:01:48I am sorry about Ricky.

01:01:54I'm going to be out of town for a few days.

01:01:56I'm leaving Silver Lynx in your hands.

01:01:58Don't worry.

01:02:00We'll get results for you in no time.

01:02:04Don't miss me too much while I'm gone.

01:02:06Have a safe flight, Ms. Wolfe.

01:02:08Hank, please, call me Emily.

01:02:12That wouldn't be proper, ma'am.

01:02:14I'm my boss.

01:02:17All right.

01:02:19Well, I'll see you around.

01:02:21Hopefully.

01:02:30Well, everyone just wanted you all to know that I'm honored to be here.

01:02:36Let's get right down to it.

01:02:37Who has the new specs?

01:02:39I got you, Mr. Walker.

01:02:42He got you all wrapped around his finger.

01:02:45Newsflash!

01:02:46He's a fraud!

01:02:48Not an engineer.

01:02:49He's a con artist.

01:02:51These people might not know who you are, but I do.

01:02:59I saw you wolfing downstress behind that dumpster.

01:03:02You expect me to believe you're tough much engineer?

01:03:06Wait.

01:03:07This guy was living out on a dumpster?

01:03:09And boss just hired him for no reason to be a routine lead?

01:03:13What?

01:03:14I was going through a rough patch.

01:03:17I didn't actually live out of a dumpster.

01:03:18Yeah, right.

01:03:20You're no engineer.

01:03:21You're a dirty, disgusting fraud.

01:03:23Hey, hold on.

01:03:25Let's listen to what he has to say.

01:03:26Our CEO brought him on personally.

01:03:28She probably knows him better than we do.

01:03:30No.

01:03:31No, no, no.

01:03:32Let me explain.

01:03:34This guy worked for Webster for 40 years and then got fired.

01:03:40Imagine how incompetent you have to be to dumpster diving for food.

01:03:46He even fucked with Webster's machines when he left.

01:03:49What are you even wearing?

01:03:54You expect me to believe your genius engineer wearing that?

01:04:00You might have weaseled your way into Mac 15,

01:04:03but I know that you're a useless and fake fraud.

01:04:09I'm not a fraud.

01:04:14I'm not a fraud.

01:04:15Yeah, that's what a fraud would say, right?

01:04:18All right, guys, come on.

01:04:19Are you really going to work for this fraud or are you going to work with me?

01:04:23Nah, screw the old guy.

01:04:29Congratulations.

01:04:30Your first day is a lead engineer and I already have your entire team under my thumb.

01:04:36You need some real skill to survive here, bud.

01:04:40You know what?

01:04:42We know that our boss is going to be gone for some time, right?

01:04:45Why don't we both work on the Civil Links Model A project?

01:04:49Different designs, separate teams, and then we can test it at the Nürburgring.

01:04:54Because our car performs better, stays at Mac 15, and the loser, we gotta quit forever.

01:05:02You want to make a bet?

01:05:04What? Are you afraid?

01:05:05You know, you can always just say no, admit your fraud, just quit.

01:05:10They'll never respect me if I don't agree to this.

01:05:12Worse, they'll think Emily Wolf is incompetent.

01:05:15I have to do this.

01:05:16I'll do it.

01:05:17I'll make a bet with you.

01:05:18Well then, Gramps, your fate is sealed.

01:05:22Oh, I'm just going to see you pending your two weeks notice.

01:05:27Because as soon as this happens, I will be the lead engineer, and you'll be sitting at home balding.

01:05:34I wouldn't be so sure about that kid.

01:05:38I may not look like it, but I know a thing or two about cars.

01:05:41Wow.

01:05:48Wow, what an actor.

01:05:49Wow, I always believed you.

01:05:51But you know what?

01:05:52I can call you bluff.

01:05:53Our CEO, she might like you, but I don't.

01:05:56When you lose, I expect you to hold up your end of the bargain, all right?

01:06:02Deal's a deal.

01:06:04If I lose, I'll hand in my two-week notice myself.

01:06:07Because if I'm really worse than you, then I don't deserve the job or the money that comes with it.

01:06:14Mr. Rockert, are you sure?

01:06:16Ricky is a cum laude graduate from MIT.

01:06:18We can always wait until boss comes back.

01:06:21You see, even the resident girl thinks you don't have what it takes to save us some trouble.

01:06:26Consider right now before we rip what left of your dignity to shreds.

01:06:32It's okay.

01:06:33What's your name?

01:06:34Yulia.

01:06:34I know my limits.

01:06:38What are your terms?

01:06:42Our boss wants the civil links to clock in 800 horsepower, so we'll bet on that.

01:06:48And whoever performs better at Nurburgring wins.

01:06:53As for the deadline, I'll give you a month.

01:06:58You're on.

01:06:59Well, Boomer, your time starts now.

01:07:05I can't wait to see you bawling your eyes out in just four weeks.

01:07:10I wouldn't be so sure about that.

01:07:12Shut up!

01:07:14Bye, boys.

01:07:16Let's get to work.

01:07:17I'm sorry, Mark.

01:07:20That's everybody.

01:07:23We don't even have the drafts.

01:07:24How are we supposed to design and build a car in just one month?

01:07:28This takes me back.

01:07:30You know, I used to do this all the time by myself.

01:07:32Come on.

01:07:33I'll show you.

01:07:33No way.

01:07:46Did he just do that freehand?

01:07:49That's cleaner than our cat outputs, and he did all the calculations too.

01:07:54Who is this guy?

01:07:56Wait, I thought boss rejected this design.

01:07:58Are we supposed to be making it better?

01:08:00What a woman even knows about supercars anyway.

01:08:03This is some cutting-edge shit.

01:08:06We just need to throw more power on it.

01:08:08You're more than enough to beat that old Hank guy.

01:08:10Oh, look at that caveman.

01:08:12Working harder, stupider.

01:08:15At this rate, they won't even finish drawing the blueprint, much less build it.

01:08:19When I beat Hank, all of you guys are getting promotions, especially you, Max.

01:08:25Now go be a champ, print it out for us, and have the team start assembling, all right?

01:08:29Got it, boss.

01:08:29I'll tell him to go as fast as possible.

01:08:31We're going to have the best car around.

01:08:37Oh, Hank Walker.

01:08:39You stole my lead engineer job right out from under me.

01:08:43I'll show you what a real engineer does.

01:08:46In just four weeks, Emily Wolf will have to promote me because you will be dead.

01:08:56What's up, Tommy boy?

01:08:58How's it going?

01:08:59How's Webster doing without me?

01:09:02You laid all their top engineer and lost hundreds of millions of money in you?

01:09:07Hold on.

01:09:09What's his name?

01:09:11Don't tell me it.

01:09:12All right, where are your engine mills?

01:09:27He's done in just two hours?

01:09:29But even our renders aren't this fast or this precise.

01:09:33We only have one fully automated engine assembly and Ricky has commandeered it.

01:09:39The other one is decades old and requires manual assembly on nearly every part.

01:09:43But these tolerances are insanely tight. There's no way you can build a supercar engine on that.

01:09:47Don't knock it till you try it.

01:09:49He wants to do it manually all by himself?

01:09:53I guess that's what 40 years in the industry gets you.

01:09:56I'm starting to believe in this guy. Maybe he does have a shot at this.

01:09:59Trust me, Ricky. That Hank guy is a fraud. He jumped in right after our experts fixed the machine and took all the credit for himself.

01:10:08I can't believe he actually swindled your CEO. Women are so dumb and gullible.

01:10:12Oh, thank God. I really thought that fucking dinosaur was a genius engineer.

01:10:19They're starting on it, boss. In just a few days, we're gonna have a brand new engine.

01:10:23We'll start testing early.

01:10:25Perfect. Hank Walker, you are a dumbso.

01:10:30Julia, didn't expect you to show up. What, Hank managed to scrap some beer together?

01:10:44I know you did this on purpose. A month's nowhere near enough time to build a car, but just you wait.

01:10:50It's all excuses. Hank already agreed to the terms. You better pray your car holds up or Hank's going bye-bye.

01:10:56Speaking of which, where's that guy? Where's his car? Did he hightail it out of here?

01:11:04Just wait until you see what he's built. He's been working day and night pushing that car to its limits.

01:11:09I have full confidence our car's gonna make it. Really? Because I heard that he's been putting it

01:11:16together on this old manual junk station that has been abandoned for years. We had to use the old one

01:11:24because you commandeered our new assembly line. Hank would've been done weeks ago if it wasn't for you.

01:11:29Ten minutes until official start time, and he's still AWOL. I wonder what the hell he's doing.

01:11:33Can't feed, I bet. Probably crying back home because he knows he's going to lose.

01:11:42If he doesn't show up in the next five minutes, I'm calling a forfeit.

01:11:46Ah, today is the day Hank Walker loses everything. And I'm going to call Miss Wolf and tell her how

01:12:09wrong she was about this guy. Because he's a failure, he's a fuck-up, and he is a dog-shit engineer.

01:12:19Super genius to my ass. Right on, Ricky. You're the only one that deserves to be the lead engineer.

01:12:26That's right. And when that happens, you'll be the first one I'm going to promote.

01:12:30As for you, Yulia, you're going down with Hank because I don't need this loyal woman like you around me.

01:12:44No, I believe in Hank. He's not going to lose to you.

01:12:47It's just five minutes before the go time. Even if he shows up, you're still going to lose.

01:12:52If I were you, I'd start getting prepared for an employment life.

01:12:56That's not for you to decide.

01:12:58That's not for you to decide.

01:13:05Mr. Walker, I knew you'd come. How's her car doing?

01:13:09Bad, of course. There's no fucking way this fossil can build a supercar using this antique manual station,

01:13:18let alone something that runs.

01:13:20Well, I hate to disappoint you, Ricky, but...

01:13:22All right, Ricky, you're looking at Hank's car. We're ready when you are.

01:13:25Is that your car? You actually managed to build something?

01:13:36You know what? It's fine.

01:13:39If it looks like a car but doesn't drive like a car, that's not a car.

01:13:43Don't be too hasty. The numbers are going to speak for themselves.

01:13:48Shut up!

01:13:48Well, we're about to start Gideon testing. And as soon as the results are in, you're out of Mach 15.

01:13:57And you are going to regret everything.

01:14:00And I'm going to point at you.

01:14:04All right. First up, we have Ricky's prototype.

01:14:16Gotta hand it to him. That car sure is fast.

01:14:19Mine's no slacker either. I've been making a lot of adjustments. Just gotta pray we'll beat him.

01:14:24Okay, we have the readings to Ricky's car.

01:14:30Come on, God. 800.

01:14:32The car reached a maximum speed of 240 miles per hour and 800 horsepower.

01:14:43Yes!

01:14:43We did it in only a handful of cars to go that fast.

01:14:47I won. I won in your face. In your stupid fucking face. Fuck you.

01:15:00Look at this. 800 horsepower. You will never fucking measure up to it. Just forfeit.

01:15:09Mr. Walker, we're not going to lose, are we?

01:15:13It's not over yet. Now we're going to test my car.

01:15:16Oh, shut the fuck up. You know you can't surpass that.

01:15:23You haven't seen it yet, have you?

01:15:24So you're going to test, huh?

01:15:26All right. All right.

01:15:29But we're going to raise the hand.

01:15:31What are you suggesting?

01:15:33Well, I heard that you were hired because they fixed one of our machines.

01:15:36And Miss Wolf is paying you 10 million dollars.

01:15:4110 million dollars? That's seven zeros. Oh my God, that's an insane amount of money.

01:15:47I knew it. If Boss is paying him that much, he has to be the real deal.

01:15:52You useless piece of shit. You are one foot in the grave. Why do you even need so much money?

01:15:59It's supposed to be mine.

01:16:01Ricky, I'm not here for the money. I'm here to do real, serious work.

01:16:07Miss Wolf, she's paying me to make Mach 15 proud. All right? I'm not wasting that money on something

01:16:11that doesn't matter.

01:16:12Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all know you're doing this for the money.

01:16:15And this is my new auntie, your salary. If you lose, you're going to give me 10 million dollars.

01:16:25That's okay. I don't plan on losing.

01:16:31You hear this guy? Enough with bragging. You're going to lose.

01:16:35You seem awfully confident in that.

01:16:38Fuck yeah, I'm confident. I asked around about you, Hank.

01:16:41I know you're a fraud. You managed to swindle Emily Bull because she doesn't know better.

01:16:48So accept my bet or admit you're a fake.

01:16:53Mr. Walker, don't. Our boss is on her way here right now.

01:16:56As soon as she gets here, she'll settle all of this.

01:17:00It's all right. I know that a lot of you feel a certain way about me.

01:17:04That I'm old, dumb, and uneducated. You think I don't deserve to be here.

01:17:09And that I don't deserve that salary. But I'm here to prove every single one of you wrong.

01:17:20So, is it a yes? Will you give me your salary?

01:17:25What do I get if I win?

01:17:26Come on. There's no fucking way you're going to win.

01:17:30That's not how this works. You have to put something on the line. How about this? If you lose,

01:17:37we get to parade you around the office wearing a sign that says,

01:17:40Hank Walker is a genius engineer. And you get to explain to everybody why that is.

01:17:45What? That's public humiliation. You can't do that. I'm going to report you to HR.

01:17:51Are you scared? Hank has 10 million on the line, and you can't do one lap around the office?

01:17:58I'm fine. I'll do it. I'll do it.

01:18:07Let's shake on this, my old man.

01:18:11Your 10 million is mine.

01:18:16Hey, go and test Hank's car.

01:18:18Oh, just three minutes left. Oh, I can't wait to see both of you on your knees.

01:18:33Begging me to let you off the hoops.

01:18:37Give it up, Mr. Jurassic. No beat junker car can get up to 800 horsepower.

01:18:42You might as well tuck your tail and run while you still can.

01:18:44And as for Ricky, he's going to get a promotion. Sit tight, son. Who knows? Maybe we'll get a miracle.

01:18:51My prototype reached 800 horsepower weeks ago. I'm just here to see how far I can push it.

01:18:56The only miracle would be if that this piece of junk can score at least half of the required horsepower.

01:19:06Just fork 10 million dollars over and go die in a hole, you fucking eyesore.

01:19:14You're so behind times, you might as well just up yourself.

01:19:18Take that back, Ricky. Mr. Walker's been working on cars longer than you've been alive.

01:19:23Have some respect for him and the auto industry and Detroit.

01:19:26I don't even know why I'm looking at this. There's no fucking way.

01:19:40No!

01:19:41Hank Walker's car reached a maximum speed of 260 miles per hour and 1,000 horsepower.

01:19:47No wonder the boss loves him so much. He's so sexy. You did it. I knew you could.

01:19:55No. No. No, Liam. No. There's no way. There's no way that piece of shit car

01:20:00could muster up 1,000 horsepower. Go run the numbers. Go check them again.

01:20:04That's bullshit. They fucked up the numbers.

01:20:08Have them tested again and check double, triple times the numbers.

01:20:14Ricky, they test thousands of cars. We can trust their data.

01:20:17I don't give a fuck!

01:20:21There's no fucking way his car is more powerful and faster than mine.

01:20:27It's probably the details.

01:20:30Run the test again!

01:20:33Well, Mr. Walker, are you okay with that? You're well within your right to refuse a retest.

01:20:38Oh, you would love to refuse, right? Because you've fucked with numbers.

01:20:43I bet you've paid those Germans to fake results for you.

01:20:47Don't worry about Ricky, Mr. Walker. Our CEO is on her way here right now.

01:20:51She'll sort this all out when she gets here.

01:20:54Ricky, we'll do it.

01:20:56No, Mr. Walker, don't.

01:20:58I want to see how far we can push this car.

01:21:00All right. If that's the case, I'll run the numbers live on screen before Ricky can accuse us of cheating again.

01:21:12Fucking Judah.

01:21:13He's doing it. It just passed 250 and it's still going.

01:21:26No, no, no, no, no. That's not supposed to be happening.

01:21:29He's a fucking old hobo. A dumpster diver. A manuscript collector. How the fuck is his car better than mine?

01:21:37Hank's car clocked in at 1,500 horsepower with a maximum speed of 285 miles per hour.

01:21:47You did it. I knew you could. What do I do? I think I'm starting to have a crush on him too.

01:21:54Kids these days.

01:21:57You really showed them, Mr. Walker. You did it the old-fashioned way with a pen and paper and you still did better than Ricky's whole team could do.

01:22:03Oh, shucks, Miss Yulia. Just doing what I know best. It's much easier for me than that newfangled technology you guys use.

01:22:12No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're lying. You're lying, motherfucker.

01:22:18I won't let you win. I won't lose to you. I can't lose to you. We're on the test again.

01:22:24Ricky, that's too far. You already made him scrap the results from the first test.

01:22:28Just admit it. Hank is better than you. You've lost.

01:22:33Hank Walker. I hate you!

01:22:40I'm not gonna let you win. Have them run the third test.

01:22:43Enough.

01:22:50Third test won't change the results, Ricky. You lost.

01:22:58Hank, it's nice to see you.

01:23:04Miss Wolfe. I really needed to tell you. He's been lying all this time to you.

01:23:10When he was fired from Webster, he was not a genius engineer. He was just a stupid mechanic.

01:23:16He was a dumpster diver when he swindled you.

01:23:18I am aware of Hank's situation, but it would seem that he's a better fit for this company than you are.

01:23:28It's fake. It's fake.

01:23:35There's no way this car is even close to 2,000 horsepower.

01:23:40I trust my employees, Ricky. My eyes and ears at this company told me everything.

01:23:46You lost.

01:23:47And don't forget your end of the bargain. We're gonna parade you around the facility with a sign around your neck.

01:24:00Off you go.

01:24:04Ah, you know what? It's okay. We should just let it slide.

01:24:07You know, he is one of our designers after all. I feel like we've taken this too far.

01:24:13No. Leave it. It's what he gets. Maybe this will teach you not to hedge your bets. Let's go.

01:24:30This isn't over yet, Hank Walker. What I'm about to do to you is your own damn fault!

01:24:44Hank, take a seat.

01:24:47Sorry, Miss Wolfe. That was a bit reckless of me to take that bet.

01:24:52Oh, that? No, that was great. In fact, I wanted to thank you for taking Ricky down a peg.

01:25:01He's been an absolute menace to all of our employees ever since he got hired.

01:25:05So, save me the trouble of having to do it myself.

01:25:07I see.

01:25:10I actually wanted to talk to you about your prototype for the Silverlinx Model A.

01:25:15I want to move forward with your design. In six months, Mach 15 will be attending the Supercar Expo in Monaco.

01:25:20I plan to host a press conference to unveil the Silverlinx.

01:25:25Do you think you could have a road-ready model finished, Megan?

01:25:28Six months is a tight turnaround, but it's not a problem for an old hand like me.

01:25:36Get right on it.

01:25:36Okay.

01:25:38I'll get right to it.

01:25:50Hank, I was actually wondering if you would want to get a drink together sometime.

01:26:07Who else is going to be there?

01:26:09Does Hank like Miss Wolfe too?

01:26:11No one.

01:26:14I was thinking it could maybe just be the two of us.

01:26:17Oh, uh, Miss Wolfe, uh...

01:26:20Emily.

01:26:22Please just call me Emily.

01:26:24Uh...

01:26:25How about this weekend, maybe?

01:26:26Um, apologies, uh, Emily, uh, sorry, um, Miss Wolfe.

01:26:36You know, I, I have some things I need to take care of, um...

01:26:40That man assistance is a rock.

01:26:47It'll crack him someday.

01:26:48Tom Norris, I thought you said that this old fuck you fire was a fraud.

01:26:56Then why did my CEO pick his design over mine?

01:26:59He found every inefficiency in my draft and fixed everything!

01:27:03What the hell are you on about Ricky?

01:27:05There's no way he could have done that.

01:27:06I told you he's useless.

01:27:09Shut up!

01:27:11Do you know what they did to me in Nurburk?

01:27:13It was a social suicide.

01:27:15Hey, look, I don't know how he did that.

01:27:19Maybe your boss hates you and slipped him some intel on the down low.

01:27:22All I can promise you is that when he worked at Webster,

01:27:25he was useless and you jacked shit about engineering.

01:27:29Fuck!

01:27:31They made me look like a clown out there.

01:27:34Now he's in control of Civil Wings project and I got demoted.

01:27:38Everyone loves him now and everybody's treating me like I'm a fucking loony.

01:27:42You know, you just gave me an idea.

01:27:46How would you feel about ruining Hank's reputation?

01:27:49Everything he has will be yours, including that 10 million dollar salary.

01:27:55What's the plan?

01:27:58Be sure this will work.

01:28:00110 percent.

01:28:02I'm a reporter now.

01:28:03I get front row seats to every single press conference in the world.

01:28:07Once I get word out to the media, Hank's reputation will be ruined.

01:28:15I'm not the first place in the world...

01:28:19Huh?

01:28:21I get outside the view of Hank's reputation.

01:28:26What about me?

01:28:28I don't know, I just didn't know.

01:28:30I've been called this.

01:28:31I've been called this.

01:28:32I want to remember Hank's reputation.

01:28:34I want to remember.

01:28:36I want to remember.

01:28:37I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
