00:00Breaking news, a Webster motor car with faulty brakes caused a deadly explosion, killing three college students.
00:06As the company's silence raises questions about accountability, authorities are investigating.
00:10God damn it!
00:12Do you see this? They're calling our car a burning coffin.
00:15They act like we killed those kids ourselves.
00:18We need to figure out why the door jammed or Webster's going belly under.
00:21I hear you, but we've already dropped 100K on diagnostic tests alone and nothing now.
00:26I don't want to hear your excuses. You're a goddamn Ivy League graduate.
00:30I pay you $200,000 a year, either figure it out or find a new job.
00:35And what the hell do you think you're doing?
00:38Tinkering around.
00:39We have to run a whole AI diagnostic system and you're over here fiddling.
00:43With all due respect, Mr. Russell, I know the Webster Corsair, like the back of my hand.
00:49I designed this car back in the day. I'll figure out what's wrong with it.
00:51We have a million dollar AI diagnosis, so we can't turn up anything.
00:54But you're going to figure it out with a $5 wrench?
00:57Well, fancy gadgets and high-minded degrees can be important, but sometimes what you need is plain old experience.
01:04You know what? Go ahead. I got nothing to lose. But if anything goes wrong, it's on your ass.
01:09Don't worry. I won't mess this up. Let's go.
01:12Found it.
01:28See that?
01:32From a shirt.
01:33Our owner must have made a legal modification, snagged it on a thread during the installation, and jammed the latch during impact.
01:40Webster's not at fault.
01:42You saved the company a few million, buddy.
01:44Let's go show the boss.
01:45You are embarrassing me, and you're embarrassing yourself.
01:48I think I found the problem.
01:52Ah, you old son of a bitch. You did it.
01:55All right, I'm going to go to the press and tell the board all the good news.
01:59You're a hero at Webster Motor.
02:00Attention, everyone. This concludes today's shift. Please shut down your stations and clock out. Drive safe, and we'll see you tomorrow.
02:18Oh, Mr. Walker, can I have a word?
02:21Oh, of course.
02:30Um, this is a car my nephew got from his grandmother. It's a collector's item, which means it's one of a kind, and you're the only one I trust to fix it.
02:39It's funny. Last week it was a plane. This week it's a car. Your nephew sure likes to break things, huh?
02:46They're just messy, teenagers.
02:48Tell me about it. My daughter was the same way. I can have it back to you tomorrow.
02:53Great. Is your payment 100k?
02:56Yes, Wolf. It's an easy fix. You don't have to pay me. Good to see you.
03:04Oh, Hank, wait.
03:08Hank, wait.
03:13I'll be straight with you. Okay, you've been at Webster for 40 years. You know cars.
03:19You're one of the best engineers in the world.
03:21But they treat you worse than the mechanics that work for an hourly rate.
03:24Wait. Why don't you come work for me at Mach 15? We're developing a new supercar.
03:30Silver Link's Model A, and I want you to be in charge. The starting pay is $10 million.
03:36That's a lot of money. But you said so yourself, Ms. Wolf.
03:39I've been with Webster Motors for 40 years, and any time I have remaining, I just assume it be with them.
03:48Old mucks like me, we're the backbone of Detroit's industry.
03:52You got a good job on your hands, and you should give it to a youngster.
03:56As for me, just stick to toy cars.
03:59Hey, look who's early.
04:07Hey, how you doing, man?
04:08Good.
04:08Oh, hey.
04:09Hank.
04:10Here comes, uh, Tom Norris.
04:13You reckon he's here to give us a bonus?
04:15I doubt it.
04:17Move.
04:18Move, move, move, move.
04:20Hey, listen up.
04:22I have an announcement.
04:23Webster Motors has gone through a change of hands.
04:26We've been purchased by Tesalux.
04:31Yes, that Tesalux, the EV car company.
04:35So a big man upstairs, now some guy named Elon.
04:39Tesalux is a tech company.
04:41Big emphasis on tech.
04:43So all you boomers, you're fired.
04:48You're fired.
04:50What?
04:51Wait, what?
04:52Wait, wait, wait, wait.
04:54We're all fired.
04:56That can't be right.
04:57Oh, you need me to spell it out for you?
04:59Fine.
05:01Webster Motors has purchased a cutting-edge AI detection system from Apex AI for over 10 billion.
05:08And let me tell you, this software makes all of you has-been boomers look like a bunch of fucking amateurs.
05:15It'll do more for this company in 10 minutes than you could do in 10 years.
05:19So, go home.
05:22Wait for death to come knocking.
05:25Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:26Now, hold on.
05:26That ain't right.
05:28Look, we are the backbone of Webster Motors, right?
05:31We built this company up from the ground.
05:34Hell, some of us were here before Webster was.
05:36You can't just let us go.
05:37That is workplace discrimination, right, boys?
05:40Yeah, right.
05:41We're gonna fucking sue you.
05:42Well, it's not ageism if you're just bad.
05:45We're a tech company now.
05:47We need computer people who write AI that does what you do, but they do it better and faster.
05:54Face it.
05:54This is the 21st century.
05:56Everything is fast and digital.
05:58It's time for you washed-up old barps to pack your little bags and fuck off.
06:04Because like it or not, you've been replaced.
06:05I might not know anything about AI, but I do know one thing.
06:10These machines here, they're finicky.
06:12And unless real people are monitoring the assembly line at all times,
06:16it's only a matter of time before something goes boom.
06:20And all production stops.
06:21That's right.
06:23What do you mean everything goes boom?
06:25I've worked here for 40 years.
06:27I know these machines.
06:29They need to be checked on and resurviced.
06:32Otherwise, you're gonna lose billions.
06:34Oh, okay.
06:36So you're saying the reason that I can't fire you old fucks
06:41is because I need someone to watch the machine all day or it's gonna go boom?
06:45That's right.
06:45And you better make sure they have the experience to know what they're looking for.
06:48Oh, holy fuck.
06:51You're a real fucking shameless one, you know?
06:53I know you won't be able to get another job,
06:55but that doesn't mean you can make shit up either.
06:57I'm not making anything up.
06:59I'm telling you how it is based on my experience.
07:02All right.
07:03Old man, I gotta go, all right?
07:05But don't think you're anything special because of yesterday.
07:08I downloaded the source code from the diagnostic test myself,
07:11and that car was perfectly fine.
07:14You lucked out with that screw.
07:15So all you need to do is go back and rot in hospice.
07:20No, no, no.
07:20How dare you?
07:22How dare you?
07:22We built this city with our own hands.
07:25We are the ones that brought industry to Detroit.
07:27Yeah.
07:27We did all that hard labor so kids like you could go run off to college.
07:32And now this is how you're going to treat us?
07:33Shut up.
07:33Right?
07:34Shut up.
07:35You disgusting old fucking hicks.
07:38Or I'll call the cops.
07:40As long as you're fired.
07:41So this is trespassing.
07:43Tom, you need to tell the assembly line supers about the maintenance.
07:48If something happens to one of these machines,
07:50it's going to cost Webster millions.
07:52And it's a safety hazard.
07:54I do not give a fuck about your experience.
07:56That is all subjective bullshit.
07:59We have the cold, hard facts right here.
08:01Our new AI detection system will be fully operational in a few short days.
08:06You really think it can't handle a few finicky machines?
08:10It'll have them back in tip-top shape before you old schmucks.
08:12You don't even get your gloves on.
08:14Now hurry up and scram or you can forget about your final fucking paycheck.
08:24It's all right.
08:25It's all right.
08:26Let it go, okay?
08:26Look, you warned him plenty about the assembly line, huh?
