Short filmTranscript
00:00Figure it out for Webster Motors going bankrupt.
00:03And what the hell do you think you're doing?
00:05I designed this car back in the day. I'll figure out what's wrong with it.
00:07Pink Walker? Isn't that the super genius car in here?
00:10You're a hero, Webster Motor.
00:12Listen up. We've been purchased by Tesalox, big tech opening.
00:17So all you boomers, you're fired.
00:20Duff, you got fired? You never really had the money, did you?
00:24We're fired!
00:26I want you to come look for me. I'm not 15.
00:27The starting salary is $10 million.
00:30Everyone, this is Hank Walker, your new lead engineer.
00:34Welcome, Mr. Walker.
00:35This old handyman wants to replace me?
00:37He's a fraud!
00:38Why don't we both work on the Seven Links Model A project?
00:42The zero car performs better, stays at Mach 15.
00:45And the loser? We've got to quit forever.
00:48I'll make a bet with you.
00:51How the fuck is this car better than mine?
00:54Because I'm the best engineer in the world.
00:57Oh, that's it.
01:01Caused a deadly explosion.
01:03Here are three college students.
01:05As the company's silence raises questions about accountability,
01:08authorities are investigating.
01:09God damn it!
01:11Do you see this?
01:12They're calling our car a burning coffin.
01:14They act like we killed those kids ourselves.
01:17We need to figure out why the door jammed or Webster's going belly under.
01:19Here's your book.
01:20We've already dropped 100K on diagnostic tests alone.
01:24And nothing now.
01:25I don't want to hear your excuses.
01:27You're a goddamn Ivy League graduate.
01:29I'd pay you $200,000 a year, either figure it out or find a new job.
01:34And what the hell do you think you're doing?
01:37Tinkering around.
01:38We have to run a whole AI diagnostic system and you're over here fiddling.
01:42With all due respect, Mr. Russell, I know the Webster Corsair, like the back of my hand.
01:48I designed this car back in the day.
01:49I'll figure out what's wrong with it.
01:50We have a million dollar AI diagnosis who can't turn up anything.
01:54But you're going to figure it out with a $5 wrench?
01:56Well, fancy gadgets and high-minded degrees can be important,
02:01but sometimes what you need is plain old and small.
02:04You know what?
02:04Go ahead.
02:05I got nothing to lose.
02:06But if anything goes wrong, it's on your ass.
02:08Don't worry.
02:09I won't mess this up.
02:11Let's go.
02:27Found it.
02:30See that?
02:31From a shirt.
02:32Our owner must have made a legal modification.
02:35snagged down a thread during installation.
02:37I jammed the lash during impact.
02:39Closer's not at fault.
02:41You saved the company a few million, buddy.
02:43Go show the boss.
02:44You are embarrassing me and you're embarrassing yourself.
02:47I think I found the problem.
02:51Ah, you old son of a bitch.
02:53You did it.
02:54All right, I'm going to go to the press and tell the Ford all the good news.
02:58You're a hero, Webster Motor.
02:59Ha, ha, ha, ha.
03:01Attention, everyone.
03:06This concludes today's shift.
03:08Please shut down your stations and clock out.
03:10Drive safe and we'll see you tomorrow.
03:12Oh, Mr. Walker, can I have a word?
03:21Oh, of course.
03:22Um, this is a car my nephew got from his grandmother.
03:34It's a collector's item, which means it's one of a kind and you're the only one I trust to fix it.
03:39It's funny, last week it was a plane.
03:41This week it's a car.
03:44Your nephew sure likes to break things, huh?
03:46They're so messy, teenagers.
03:48Tell me about it.
03:48My daughter was the same way.
03:51I can have it back to you tomorrow.
03:53Great.
03:54What's your payment?
03:55100K.
03:58That's Wolf.
03:59It's an easy fix.
04:00You don't have to pay me.
04:02Good to see you.
04:03Oh.
04:04Hank, wait.
04:08Hank, wait.
04:13I'll be straight with you, okay?
04:15You've been at Webster for 40 years.
04:17But you know cars.
04:18You're one of the best engineers in the world.
04:21But they treat you worse than the mechanics that work for an hourly rate.
04:25Why don't you come work for me at Mach 15?
04:28We're developing a new supercar.
04:30Silver Link's Model A.
04:31I don't want you to be in charge.
04:32The starting pay is $10 million.
04:35That's a lot of money.
04:37But you said so yourself, Ms. Wolf.
04:39I've been with Webster Motors for 40 years.
04:44And any time I have remaining, I just assume it be with them.
04:48Old mucks like me were the backbone of Detroit's industry.
04:51And you got a good job on your hands.
04:53And you should give it to a youngster.
04:55As for me, just stick to toy cars.
04:58Hey, look who's early.
05:06Hey, how you doing, man?
05:08Oh, hey.
05:10Welcome, sir.
05:11Tom Norris.
05:12You reckon he's here to give us some bonus?
05:15I doubt it.
05:16Move.
05:17Move.
05:18Move.
05:18Move.
05:18Move.
05:19All right.
05:19All right.
05:19All right.
05:19Hey, listen up.
05:21I have an announcement.
05:23Webster Motors has gone through a change of hands.
05:26We've been purchased by Tesalux.
05:31Yes, that Tesalux, the EV car company.
05:34Sir, a big man upstairs.
05:36Now some guy named Elon.
05:38Tesalux is a tech company.
05:41Big emphasis on tech.
05:43So all you boomers, you're fired.
05:49You're fired.
05:50What?
05:51Wait, what?
05:52Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
05:54We're all fired.
05:56That can't be right.
05:58Oh, you need me to spell it out for you?
06:00Fine.
06:01Webster Motors has purchased a cutting-edge AI detection system from Apex AI for over 10 billion.
06:09And let me tell you, this software makes all of you has-been boomers look like a bunch of fucking amateurs.
06:15It'll do more for this company in 10 minutes than you could do in 10 years.
06:20So, go home.
06:22Wait for death to come knocking.
06:24Now, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
06:26Now, hold on.
06:27That ain't right.
06:28Look, we are the backbone of Webster Motors.
06:32We built this company up from the ground.
06:34Hell, some of us were here before Webster was.
06:36You can't just let us go.
06:37That is, hey, hey, hey, hey, workplace discrimination.
06:40Right, boys?
06:40Yeah, right.
06:41We're gonna fucking sue you.
06:43Well, it's not ageism if you're just bad.
06:45We're a tech company now.
06:47We need computer people who write AI that does what you do, but they do it better and faster.
06:54Face it.
06:55This is the 21st century.
06:56Everything is fast and digital.
06:59It's time for you washed up old farts to pack your little bags.
07:03Fuck off.
07:03It's likely or not you can replace.
07:06I might not know anything about AI, but I do know one thing.
07:10These machines here, they're finicky.
07:12And unless real people are monitoring the assembly line at all times,
07:16it's only a matter of time before something goes boom.
07:20And all production stops.
07:22That's right.
07:23What do you mean everything goes boom?
07:26I've worked here for 40 years.
07:29I know these machines.
07:30They need to be checked on and resurviced.
07:32Otherwise, you're gonna lose billion.
07:35Oh, okay.
07:37So, so, so you're saying the reason that I can't fire you old bucks
07:42is because I need someone to watch the machine all day or it's gonna go boom?
07:46That's right.
07:46And you better make sure they have the experience to know what they're looking for.
07:49Oh, holy fuck.
07:52You're a real fucking shameless one, you know?
07:54I know you won't be able to get another job,
07:56but that doesn't mean you can make shit up either.
07:58I'm not making anything up.
08:00I'm telling you how it is.
08:02It's based on my experience.
08:03All right.
08:04Oh, man, I gotta go.
08:05All right?
08:06But don't think you're anything special because of yesterday.
08:09I downloaded the source code from the diagnostic test myself,
08:12and that car was perfectly fine.
08:14You lucked out with that screw.
08:16So, all you need to do is go back and rot in hospice.
08:21No, no, no.
08:21How dare you?
08:22How dare you?
08:23We built this city with our own hands.
08:25We are the ones that brought industry to Detroit.
08:28Yeah.
08:28We did all that hard labor so kids like you could come on off to college.
08:32And now this is how you're gonna treat us?
08:34Shut up.
08:34Right?
08:35Shut up.
08:35Shut up, you disgusting old fucking hicks.
08:39I'll call the cops.
08:41As of now, you're fired.
08:42So this is trespassing.
08:44Tom, you need to tell the assembly line swoopers about the maintenance.
08:49If something happens to one of these machines,
08:51it's gonna cost Webster millions.
08:53And it's a safety hazard.
08:54I don't give a fuck about your experience.
08:57That is all subjective bullshit.
08:59We have the cold, hard facts right here.
09:02Our new AI detection system will be fully operational in a few short days.
09:07You really think it can't handle a few finicky machines?
09:10It'll have them back in tip-top shape before you old schmucks.
09:14You need to get your gloves on.
09:15Now hurry up and scram, or you can forget about your final fucking paycheck.
09:24All right.
09:26All right, let it go, okay?
09:27Look, you warned him plenty about the assembly line, huh?
09:30It's his own fault now if he won't listen.
09:34Come on, fellas, let's go.
09:34Let's get out of here.
09:36Guy's a creep.
09:37What do you mean you can't fix it?
09:39I pay you millions of dollars.
09:40For what?
09:41Mach 15 is on the line, and if you can't fix it...
09:43Miss Holt, Miss Holt, can't you see that I'm on the phone?
09:46Webster Motors just fired that old car mechanic.
09:48You told me to keep an eye on it.
09:51I'll call you back.
09:52They fired Hank Walker?
09:55Evelyn, I need you to find him.
09:57Our CNC mills have suffered a critical error, and he's the only one that can fix it.
10:01Make sure he gets here, okay?
10:02We need him.
10:03Got it, boss.
10:04I'll offer him the job.
10:05What's the pay ceiling?
10:07There's no ceiling.
10:09I'll pay him whatever he wants.
10:12I'll have you, Hank.
10:14Hey, I'll catch up with you, Hank.
10:18Hi, I'm looking for a Mr. Walker.
10:20Oh, Hank?
10:21Yeah, he just missed him.
10:22He went to go see his daughter.
10:24Grandpa!
10:27Grandpa!
10:27Ha, ha, ha, ha!
10:28Oh, ho, ho, ho!
10:29Oh, ho, ho, ho!
10:30Oh, ho, ho, ho!
10:30Oh, ho, ho, ho!
10:31Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
10:31Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho!
10:32Grandpa, I miss you so much.
10:34I didn't even get to play with you all last for four weeks.
10:37I know, kiddo.
10:39Your grandpa was busy at work.
10:41But I'm going to have a lot more time now.
10:43I can come over every day if you want.
10:45Yeah?
10:48Oh, I'm getting strong.
10:49Dad!
10:51Shouldn't you be at work?
10:52I'm actually not going to be working there anymore.
10:55Webster, leave me off.
10:57You got fired?
11:01Fuck.
11:02What are we going to do about the mortgage now?
11:04Mortgage?
11:05What are you talking about?
11:06The mortgage for this house, you stupid old fuck.
11:09Hannah and I have been using your paycheck to pay off the mortgage.
11:12What are we going to do now?
11:13They're going to foreclose on us.
11:14Jesse, I've been giving you my paycheck since you and Helen got married.
11:19Why isn't the mortgage paid off yet?
11:21Because a whole year's worth of your salary didn't even last me a single night in Vegas.
11:26So you were gambling it.
11:29I bust my back ten hours a day and what?
11:32You gambled it all away in one night on craps?
11:34Poker?
11:35I can't believe you two.
11:37Alright, I've given everything for you guys.
11:39I stopped drinking coffee for you, alright?
11:41I barely scrape by on $300 a month.
11:44And you flush it down the drain, gambling?
11:48Look old man, I don't care.
11:50But Helen and I need the money to pay off the mortgage.
11:53And until you get another job, I want you to stay away from Audrey.
11:58Oh, grandpa!
12:00What's coming to you, Jesse?
12:03I'm near retirement, okay?
12:06What's an old man like me supposed to do?
12:08You and Helen and little Audrey, you guys are all that I have.
12:13I just want to see this little girl grow up, okay?
12:16Please.
12:17I already lost my wife.
12:19Don't talk about my mom.
12:21If you weren't so stubborn, if you would have just left Detroit when you had the chance,
12:25she would have had better insurance coverage and not die.
12:30I would be in a better place, too.
12:32And now we're all stuck at this hellhole because of you.
12:37You're useless.
12:40My buddy Tom Norris got promoted to senior engineer in a year.
12:45You've been there for decades.
12:46And you're still just some low-level mechanic.
12:50Now get out.
12:51Now stay away from Audrey.
12:55You want to see Audrey again?
12:57Who brings a nice, fat paycheck?
13:00Jesse's right.
13:02Good job.
13:03You owe that to us.
13:03Now go dumpster dive if you have to.
13:05Grandpa!
13:07Grandpa!
13:11Grandpa!
13:12I just didn't want to give up on my city.
13:14Is that so wrong?
13:20Oh, look at that stinky hobo.
13:23Let's cross the street before he gets all his germs on us.
13:25Webster still hasn't given us our last paycheck.
13:37And I haven't eaten since last night.
13:50Guess this will have to be my dinner.
13:51Holy shit.
14:01Nick Walker.
14:02The rock star engineer behind our 1987 Webster Corsair.
14:07What are you doing?
14:08Eating out of a dumpster.
14:10Tom, you know this guy?
14:11Yeah.
14:12Fired him yesterday.
14:14He's a piece of shit mechanic who wouldn't stop going on about,
14:16Oh, the assembly line's going to explode.
14:19So I got rid of him.
14:21Don't laughing matter, Tom.
14:23I'm serious.
14:24If you're not careful, that whole assembly line is going to malfunction.
14:27Oh, fuck, man.
14:28You still stuck on that?
14:30That is bullshit.
14:32Hank Walker.
14:33They may have kept you around for 40 years because they're dumb.
14:36But I know you're nothing special.
14:38If you were anything like me, you'd at least be a manager.
14:41Well, they did ask me.
14:43But I turned them down because I want to work with cars.
14:47That's what I do best.
14:48And I don't need some empty title.
14:50But, Tom, you have got to listen to me, okay?
14:53Have your guys watch the line.
14:54Otherwise, it's going to cost Webster millions.
14:56What a joke!
14:58I can't, will you?
15:00Look, this is our newest software.
15:03All the lights are green.
15:05Green means good.
15:07See?
15:07Nothing can possibly go wrong.
15:09Warning, malfunction detected.
15:13Initiating emergency stop protocol.
15:17No way this bastard got it right.
15:22What the hell happens here?
15:24The machine, it's smoky.
15:25I don't know.
15:26It shouldn't be doing that.
15:28We're following the exact same procedures we've always done.
15:31Well, it is.
15:32Look at it.
15:33If this machine goes down, we're going to have to shut down the whole plant.
15:37We're going to lose millions of dollars.
15:39Norris, I don't care what you do.
15:42Fix it.
15:43By the end of the day, or you're done.
15:50What are you just standing there for?
15:52Fix it!
15:53Um, well, Tom, the thing is, we don't know what the problem is.
15:57We don't know what's wrong.
15:58What do you mean?
15:59Didn't you go to college for this fucking shit?
16:01We just used to do what the older guys and Hank would do.
16:04They would diagnose it, and they would solve it.
16:07Fuck!
16:08I'm so fucking sick of this fucking Hank guy.
16:11What do you want me to do?
16:12Do you want me to go back and bring back those old fossils that I just fucking fired?
16:17Fuck off!
16:17This whole plant isn't going to suddenly cease to function because a few wrinkly old farts got laid off.
16:24That's bullshit.
16:24Now fucking fix it.
16:26Faster!
16:26Faster!
16:30Miss Wolfe, I just don't see why we need a mechanic like Hank Walker right now.
16:34Don't we already have an expert from Apex AI working on CNC machine?
16:38We already lost one full production line.
16:41If we lose another, that could mean hundreds of millions of dollars of loss and profits.
16:45Look, you keep an eye on the factory, and I will go find Hank.
16:48This is the only one I trust to fix this.
16:50There will never be a replacement for good, old-fashioned human ingenuity.
16:55Machines and humans can work together to create the most efficient outcome.
16:59But a machine will never replace a human.
17:00Getting scrapped, sir?
17:13You know it.
17:14We still have a lot of material that we need to get rid of.
17:17If you can carry it, it's all yours.
17:21Sir, there must be something you can do.
17:23We need to fix this now.
17:24Well, luckily, you came to the right place.
17:26I mean, we here at Apex AI know exactly what we're doing.
17:29We can handle stuff like this in our sleep.
17:31So we're just going to have our diagnostics run on it, figure out a problem, and boom.
17:36Bob's your uncle.
17:37So this is Apex AI's new detection software.
17:40It looks brilliant.
17:44Jesus, lady.
17:45I mean, what did you do to this thing?
17:46This is a critical failure.
17:48Is there any way you can get it fixed by the end of the day?
17:50We need to have production back on schedule, or my boss is going to kill me.
17:54I know that machine.
17:55The reading is off simply because the sensor skips without a manual check.
17:59I mean, this is not a job that you can finish in a day, okay?
18:01I mean, this is going to take like a week.
18:03We don't have a week.
18:04We have a client waiting on us.
18:05We have to get these parts machined now.
18:07Is there anything else you can do, please?
18:11I mean, we might have a solution.
18:14It's just the pay that you're offering, though.
18:16$2,000 for an eight-hour workday?
18:18Then it just needs a reset.
18:21They're asking for even more.
18:23Ah, Mr. Pierre, Mr. Espan, money is not an issue.
18:27I will give you $2 million each for your work here today.
18:30And if all goes well, there will be a little bonus in it for you both as well.
18:33Okay.
18:34All right, well, don't worry about it, good-looking.
18:35All right, fixing machines, that's our job.
18:37It's a very tough and thankless and very, very difficult job, but we'll get it up in the
18:42money for you.
18:42I can't believe they just scammed that poor girl.
18:47And then you're going to twist it the other way?
18:49Didn't it?
18:50See?
18:51Our new AI tool has the solution for everything.
18:53Whoa!
18:57Step 37, that's what it said!
19:00Jeez, this isn't ever happening when Hank was around.
19:02Shut up!
19:03Did I really fuck up by firing those old-timers?
19:06I'm not going to have to bring Hank back on board, am I?
19:11What?
19:13Apex AI's tech experts are over at Lock 15?
19:17Oh, perfect.
19:18Those guys are a golden ticket to fixing this machine.
19:21I'll head over right now.
19:29All righty.
19:30Fire it up.
19:33No!
19:36Not yet.
19:38You can't.
19:39You got to reset the machine first.
19:42Otherwise, you'll be operating under the faulty presets.
19:45You're leading this machine down a one-way path to catastrophic failure.
19:49Okay, I'm sorry.
19:50Where the fuck is this guy?
19:51Go back.
19:52Get your scrap.
19:53Get out of here.
19:54Okay?
19:54You're distracting us from this billion-dollar machine here.
19:58It's an easy fix.
19:59But I bet you two knew that, didn't you?
20:02You talked it up to her so you could get that extra pay.
20:05What are you talking about?
20:07Wow.
20:07You know what, Ms. Evelyn?
20:08Can you get your guys to get him out of here?
20:10Okay, he's distracting us from working.
20:12Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to step back, please.
20:14We have plenty of scrap metal, and I'd be happy to help you get it.
20:17Miss, miss, forget the scrap metal.
20:19If you give me ten minutes with this machine, I will tell you exactly what's wrong with it.
20:23And I'll fix it for you, free of charge.
20:26Oh, okay.
20:27So, you're saying you can fix this in ten minutes?
20:30We're two of the best mechanics in the world, armed with a brand spanking new AI detection system.
20:34Now, if we can't pull this off in ten minutes, what's a scrub for your whole fart like you're going to do?
20:38You may have your fancy AI, but these machines, they were built by people, and they're meant to be maintenanced by people.
20:45I've been in this industry for 40 years.
20:48Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.
20:49You need somebody like Hank Walker.
20:51Ms. Wolf said he's a genius car mechanic, and he would know how to fix this.
20:57That's me.
21:03I am Hank Walker.
21:05Wait, Hank Walker?
21:07Isn't that the genius supercar engineer that Boss went to hire?
21:10I need to call her.
21:12Poor hair is in the industry.
21:14Oh, but you was a custodian, right?
21:15What makes you think you know more of someone with a master's degree, man?
21:18You really, really think that you know more than this billion-dollar AI detection system?
21:24You're taking us for a ride, you stupid old fuck.
21:27Watch your tongue, young man.
21:29If she had pressed that start button, this machine, she would have fried the microcontroller.
21:33What you need to do is reset the system.
21:35Let it cool down first, and you start it back up before you run anything.
21:39How did you know that?
21:41Because I'm the best technician for 40 years.
21:43Do you really think that you can fix this in 10 minutes?
21:46Of course I can.
21:48No, he can't.
21:49This redneck is a useless piece of shit union monkey that I fired from Webster yesterday.
21:56He doesn't know jack about tech.
21:58He's just out of a job and desperate for cash.
22:01Oh, you really had us going.
22:03You disgusting old fart.
22:04Here we are thinking you're just some genius engineer.
22:07You ain't nothing but a scammer.
22:09Tom Norris, something must have gone very wrong at Webster for you to be here at a competitor.
22:15I told you to wash those machines.
22:16Shut up.
22:18You spent the last 40 years swapping out blinker fluid.
22:22What do you know about cars?
22:24Poor engineering.
22:26You see this?
22:27This blows you out of the fucking water.
22:29What did you say to Hank Walker?
22:33Oh my gosh.
22:34Why is Voss here?
22:35Oh, Miss Wolf?
22:39Hank, I'm asking you guys in front.
22:41If you can fix this, I owe you a big one.
22:44We have a huge order coming in and we have to fill it.
22:46Or we re-contract it and we get sued into oblivion.
22:50Don't worry, Miss Wolf.
22:51Wait, Miss Wolf, out of respect.
22:52I'm so sorry.
22:53Do you really trust him?
22:56You're putting him against a billion dollar AI detection system here.
22:59It's my machine.
23:01And I will take responsibility.
23:04And I would appreciate it if you stopped insulting my guest.
23:07You may not look it.
23:11But Hank is one of the best auto engineers in the world.
23:15And he's been fixing machines since before you were born.
23:18Are we looking at the same guy here?
23:20Miss Wolf, I am from one of your competitors.
23:23But I would hate for you to get scammed.
23:26You got fired from Webster because he is worthless.
23:30I'm sorry.
23:30Who are you?
23:31And what are you doing in my factory?
23:34I'm a senior engineer at Webster.
23:36And a graduate from MIT.
23:38I'm happy to give you my advice, Miss Wolf.
23:41Hank is useless.
23:43He's going to break that machine.
23:44And he can't afford to pay you back.
23:49Home Norris.
23:50Why don't you and I make a little bet, huh?
23:52If I fix this machine here, I want you to write a formal letter of apology.
23:57To all my old co-workers.
23:58Everyone that you fired.
24:01And in that letter, I want you to tell them that there is no substitute.
24:05For a seasoned, experienced mechanic.
24:08Not even AI.
24:11Sure thing, buddy.
24:13And if you fuck it up, I want you to post online that you're a stupid old fuck and a useless liar.
24:22And then, I want you to come back and I want you to lick my shoes clean.
24:30You shut your mouth.
24:31I don't care who you are.
24:33Miss Wolf.
24:34But if you continue to disrespect my guest, I will have security toss you out.
24:37He was my subordinate.
24:38I know exactly what he is capable of.
24:41Which is to say nothing.
24:44Fine.
24:45Miss Wolf.
24:46Miss Wolf, it's okay.
24:49I'm warning you right now.
24:51Let's shake on it, Ben.
24:52I bet.
24:58Let's see what you can do.
24:59Oh, fuck.
25:00I'll make damn sure the next generation learns that experience is the one asset no machine can replace.
25:07And I'll prove the value of every fellow worker who's built this industry in Detroit.
25:14Watch and learn.
25:15Hank!
25:23What the hell do you think you're doing?
25:26Jesse.
25:27Grandpa.
25:29Audrey.
25:29Tom Covey.
25:32He told me that you're at Mach 15 working on some multi-million dollar tech.
25:36Your name is on the house.
25:39If you get sued and we lose the house, where are we going to go?
25:43You stop this.
25:44You stop this right now.
25:45For your own good, Hank.
25:47You barely make 1k a month.
25:49You can't afford to pay them back.
25:51Simple game theory.
25:52Did you hear that, old man?
25:53If you touch that machine again, we are cutting you off.
25:57And you are never, ever going to see Helen or Audrey again.
26:04I don't want you to tell you.
26:06Please, girl, but please don't fool.
26:08Dad, come on.
26:09Stop making a fool of yourself.
26:10I know you're a mechanic, but you work on old, beat-up cars.
26:14Not million-dollar heavy machinery.
26:16I mean, even the freaking AI is stumped.
26:18How the hell are you going to know how to fix it?
26:21Helen.
26:22What happened to you?
26:24You used to believe in me.
26:26You used to say, you can fix anything.
26:30I started working with cars because you loved them.
26:33Don't you remember?
26:35You drew this for me.
26:37And I kept it in my wallet every day for inspiration.
26:40Helen, what happened to you?
26:43Why are you like this?
26:47I was six, okay?
26:49But now I'm a grown-ass woman.
26:52And I became this way because I have a deadbeat father
26:55who's too afraid to leave a dying city
26:57and let his whole family suffer with him.
27:00Oh.
27:00Look, if you still care about me at all,
27:11stop whatever you're doing.
27:12You already ruined my life.
27:15My mom died because of you.
27:18You're just a nobody.
27:20Stuck in a dead-end job in an industry
27:22that's way past its glory days.
27:24And you're still waiting for a miracle.
27:26Bad mommy!
27:27No, I trust you, grandfather.
27:30You can get the machine working again.
27:33Thank you for still believing in me, Audrey.
27:36Give it up, Hank.
27:38You can't fix shit.
27:39And you know it.
27:41That combination mill is worth millions.
27:44And your daughter's property won't start to cover it.
27:50Hank, don't worry about the damages.
27:52This is my company, and I trust you.
27:54If you mess anything up,
27:56I will eat the cost,
27:57and you won't owe a single cent.
28:00A deal is a deal.
28:02And if Hank fixes this machine,
28:04you owe him and everybody else
28:05you laid off an apology.
28:07Well, let me show you how it's done.
28:10Oh, my gosh, do you want to go out there.
28:17Oh, my gosh.
28:17all done holy shit nine minutes and 41 seconds i mean how on earth did you manage that
28:47i used to do it all the time back at webster and fixed 20 cnc machines one afternoon on a bad day
28:5320 of these things even with our ai detection software it would take a week to do that
28:58thank you so so much there aren't words for what you did you just bailed us out of bankruptcy
29:08no no you lost because i just plugged some algorithms in and my data it's showing me
29:14there's no way you could have fixed this machine in 10 minutes you're a liar i knew it i was on to
29:20you from the very beginning you greasy old fart bag you didn't even turn it on did you and our
29:24processing unit is still going so you have zero proof that you even did anything yeah yeah who's
29:29to say it was it was even gonna run huh a clown all these union rats are the same they're like
29:35the german of detroit grab the hand is not a rat he's the coolest guy in detroit that's right
29:42mechanics like me we're the backbone of detroit just watch when i pull that lever there it's
29:48gonna start up like a gem ready
29:53looks like your little pet project didn't do much better grab a puke bag because you're gonna lick
30:11my shoes clean wait to see
30:16it's okay everything's reading completely safe but you actually did it in less than 10 minutes
30:36no there is no way that boomer actually did it he doesn't know jack about tech
30:41yay grandpa i knew you can do it
30:48thank you so so much i mean you just brought us back billions you saved mach 15
30:55i was happy to do it so what if he didn't fix it he's still unemployed and he's still not bringing
31:01home any money he really fixed it like he said he would i think i would again like to offer you a
31:13position i want you as my lead supercar engineer
31:16the starting salary 10 million dollars
31:2110 million dollars
31:27that is unheard of for an engineer because i'm not an idiot like you
31:34and i recognize it's diamond in the rough but i see it
31:37no way it actually says 10 million dollars
31:47someone is really offering to pay millions for my dad
31:51and here i thought he was old and useless
31:54i was so wrong about him
31:56and he's worth every single penny that's coming to him
32:02and i'm offering him company shares
32:05sign it
32:12after everything you've done for this industry
32:14this whole thing
32:19i can't thank you enough but
32:23i can't in good conscience take 10 million dollars
32:27no no no no no no wait hold that thought hold that thought
32:30yes you can hank
32:31and you should
32:33that lady said that you were worth every single cent
32:36that means you're a pro
32:37i've always known
32:38that you'd have a knack for this engineering thing
32:41but this this this proves it
32:44dad
32:45if you take that money
32:46you pay off our mortgage
32:48but we only have a hundred thousand left
32:50and audrey
32:51we can afford to send her to the best school
32:53and buy that pony she's always wanted
32:55yes yes yes yes yes yes
32:57just think about it
32:58if you'd be working at mach 15
32:59you'd have dibs on all their super cars
33:02i have been itching to get my hands on a new ride
33:06and just think how cool it would be
33:08for audrey to go to school
33:10in one of those beasts
33:11funny
33:13i don't remember the two of you
33:16treating hank this way when you first walked in here
33:18i'm not buying it
33:20there is no way that he fixed that machine
33:23how are you talking about
33:27he just fixed it
33:28we all watched him fix it
33:30it wasn't him
33:30who was it
33:31he just tapped in a few nuts and bolts
33:34you think that's gonna magically solve anything
33:37this machine
33:38is only working
33:39of esteban and pierre's ai software
33:42all we had to do was turn it on
33:44and it would have been working as good as new
33:46like it is now
33:47hank
33:48just swooped in and took all the credit
33:50yeah that's right
33:51all you did was pull a lever
33:53meanwhile pierre and i did everything else
33:55you jerk you've lied to us
33:57that's why you didn't want us to turn it on before
34:00because you knew it would work
34:01you just wanted to steal our thunder
34:04miss wolf that is unacceptable behavior for a future hire
34:07that's not what happened
34:09and you all know that
34:10tom norris
34:15where the hell are you

34:42we're just in a
34:43little bit of a
34:44little bit of a pickle

35:02will be appreciated
35:03thank you
35:03god
35:04absolutely
35:04tom

35:55we won't go
35:56hell no
35:58Oh, we won't.
35:59Seth, hey, hey, what's going on here?
36:01We're processing the layoffs.
36:02What do you think, man?
36:03Hey, come on, join us.
36:05I can't today.
36:07They're here doing some repairs,
36:08and I'm tagging along to make sure nothing bad goes out.
36:10One of the assembly line machines malfunctioned.
36:14They malfunctioned.
36:16Already?
36:16It serves them right.
36:17You know, I bet they're running around in there
36:19like a bunch of headless chickens.
36:21Can't do anything right without us, huh?
36:23You know what?
36:23I've got to see it for myself.
36:25Come on, I'm going in with you.
36:26Keep going, fellas.
36:27Hell no, we won't go.
36:29Hell no, we won't go.
36:30We won't go.
36:31Hell no, we won't go.
36:35Fix it.
36:37It's what you're paying for.
36:39Boss, I brought them.
36:42Let's see here they are.
36:43Good to see you, Tommy.
36:44Yes, yes, yes.
36:44Yes.
36:48Ted, Hank, what are you doing here?
36:50We laid you off.
36:51Came to watch you crash and burn, that's what.
36:53Yeah, I wanted to see how things were holding up.
36:55Now they're using this faulty AI instead of us experienced folk.
37:00I'll deal with you later.
37:01Tom, boss just called.
37:03He's breathing down our neck.
37:04If we don't get this figured out and fixed, we're both fired.
37:06Please, you're the experts right here.
37:08You've got to help us.
37:09Yeah, relax, Tom.
37:10Lucky for you, we've got the world's best AI on our side.
37:12So we'll just get this bad boy started up quickly, and we don't know what.
37:16No, you got this all wrong, okay?
37:18It's a heat issue.
37:20It's not something one little AI test can resolve.
37:23And if you want to get to the root of this problem, it's going to take some time.
37:32Without your heat, Hank, okay?
37:34Because when the experts fix this with their detection system, and it turns out not to be
37:39a heat problem, you're going to look like a pathetic liar.
37:42Look, I'm telling you, Tom, you've got to do something about the heat.
37:45Otherwise, it's just going to keep error.
37:47Okay, okay, that's nonsense, okay?
37:49This guy doesn't have the slightest idea of the powers of AI.
37:52Tom, I'm telling you, do not waste your time on clowns like him.
37:56All right, success is imminent.
37:58Once production is back online, I'm going to expose your lives to hell and back online.
38:03And then, everyone's going to hate you, and Mach 15 will have to fire you for PR.
38:07You better pray they know what they're doing, because it certainly doesn't look like that.
38:22Oh, yeah.
38:24Yeah.
38:25Yeah.
38:26All right?
38:28Turn it on.
38:29No, you can't.
38:30Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:31You and your heat.
38:32You know what, buddy?
38:33Screw you.
38:34Okay, I've checked this time.
38:36Everything's completely fine.
38:37So get with the times, old man.
38:39All our checks are AI-driven now, and the experts are saying the heat is not an issue, so turn
38:45it on.
38:46I said, turn it on!
38:48Yeah!
39:02You may be running fine right now, but it's just going to keep overheating until it malfunctions
39:19again.
39:19Buddy, do you think anyone here actually cares about what you're saying?
39:22Buddy, you're fucking screwed, buddy, because everyone knows that you're a liar, you can't
39:28fix shit, and that you lucked out back in Mach 15 with their machine.
39:31Yeah, you know what, Hank?
39:33When I first met you, I did think that you were something special.
39:35Now I agree with Tom.
39:38You're nothing but a fraud.
39:39I knew it!
39:41I knew it from the moment I saw you.
39:43I know you wasn't no genius engineer.
39:45I can't believe you, man.
39:46You made me sick over here comparing yourself to us.
39:49Please.
39:49Anyway, thank you, gentlemen, so much for coming in.
39:54You saved me and Tom's asses.
39:55Oh, yeah.
39:56No, it's just part of the job, all right?
39:57Um, I'm sure Tom here lets you know that we charge, uh...
40:0220?
40:03Thousand?
40:0420K!
40:05For what?
40:06Hang on, I'm getting the impression here that you don't think that our work was...
40:09was worth it.
40:11Last time I checked, I just saved your ass from getting fired.
40:14Can I remember?
40:15No, not at all, Mr. Aspen.
40:16The way I see it, 20K, plenty reasonable.
40:19I mean, 20K got us results, which is...
40:22much more than what Hank did for 10 million twiddling his little thumbs.
40:27You know, I can't believe you'd lie to the CEO of Mach 15.
40:31A woman.
40:32If I were you, I'd call her right now and tell her everything before I get sued.
40:40Speak for yourself, Tom.
40:42This machine's gonna hear her any day now.
40:44Shut up!
40:45Okay?
40:46Security!
40:46Take him out and throw me into oncoming traffic for all I...
40:49Oh, right, that's it.
40:50You've gone too far, sir.
40:51You know something?
40:52Old folks like us have worked way too hard so you can get where you're at.
40:55And I'm not gonna stand by and let you treat Hank like dirt.
40:58No, no, no.
40:58Tom.
41:01Machine's gonna hear her again.
41:043...
41:042...
41:051...
41:073...
41:073...
41:083...
41:084...
41:09Oh my God.
41:23Stop it! I thought you said it was fixed, Mr. 23.
41:26It was fixed, okay? I don't know what happened. Just let me see something.
41:29You are wasting my time.
41:31Tom, where did you find these facts?
41:33They're the best experts around, I swear.
41:36These are your best experts with their empty talk about their high-concept fancy AI software, whatever.
41:45Let me tell you something. These two bozos and their pink shirts can't hold the torch to Hank Walker.
41:51This sort of stuff never happened back when he was around.
41:54Fucking shut up, because he didn't do anything about the assembly line, okay?
41:58Fix it right now. I don't care what the fuck you need to do, but if you don't, I'm going to blame it on you.
42:03Hang on, hang on. I don't know why you're blaming us here, okay? This is your machine.
42:06Because you're the one who broke it, you asshole!
42:08So fix it. If you get me fired, I'm going to hack into your codebase and make you two pay.
42:13Okay, okay, I'm just saying just hang on there real quick, okay?
42:16We'll just look into it, okay?
42:18We'll look into the heat dissipation process.
42:28Heat?
42:35Like what Hank said earlier?
42:37Oh, wait, how did he guess that?
42:41I told you, Tom. If you had just listened to me, we would have been out the door an hour ago.
42:47Lorne Russell! What is taking so long? I want results now!
42:52We're on it. We're working on it right now. It's going to be done soon.
42:56What's with all the stuttering? I've said it once, and I'll say it again.
43:01Show me results or don't bother showing up!
43:04Useless SOVs. All of them!
43:09We bought Webster's because they have the best machines around.
43:12What happened to their operations?
43:15I have to go take a look myself.
43:18Tom, hey, just relax, okay? We'll figure something out, alright?
43:21You've got one last fucking shot!
43:23Hank, Hank, Hank, you said you know what this is, right?
43:27You said this was a heat dissipation process, so that means you know how to fix it, right?
43:30Right? Of course I can.
43:32Alright, well, can you please fix it for us? Alright, whatever they're paying us, we'll give you half.
43:36We just-
43:37What?
43:38We cannot lose our million-dollar machine.
43:40Hey, pal. You messed up that machine yourself. It's got nothing to do with Hank.
43:44Yeah, well, we've been thinking about that, and, um...
43:46Look, to just tell you the truth, man, we lied about it from the very beginning, okay?
43:49Times are tough, man, and we tried to extend this job just like a quick buck.
43:53Yeah, yeah, man. You really fed us our humble pie today, and...
43:57Who knew you would fix the whole thing in ten minutes?
43:59So, Hank, please, you're the only one that can help us with this, man. Please, please help us.
44:04Oh! Where is the machine? Why is it smoking?
44:10Oh! Where is the machine? Why is it smoking?
44:13Tom! Tom! I thought you hired the experts!
44:15They're here! They're here!
44:16Where are they?
44:17They're here!
44:22Oh, hi, uh...
44:23You must be the expert. Uh, we need to fix this machine. We need to fix it fast. We're willing to pay any-
44:28No, no, no, no, no. That's the expert, uh...
44:31Yeah.
44:32Uh, about that. Yeah, we can't fix it. Okay, Hank is the only one that can. He is the real expert, not us.
44:40Hank... Hank Walker. Hank... Hank Walker. You know, he has been on about this fucking bullshit for ages. Just ignore him.
44:51The only thing Hank is good at is getting fired and lying.
44:55Hold on. You did not just say that.
45:00Not just say that. Hank was our go-to guy for 40 years before you fired him.
45:06You don't get it. You could spend all day...
45:09ghosts?
45:12If you see his illness, Eddie had to just finish your business.
45:14Well, I was her to tell you about Roger as much.
45:15I'll get started and just know if I don't get finished from my husband and Come and pull it down.
45:20That's...
45:22I don't care if I'm late in the levığını,mare my headass just my head.
45:25I could pretend that they miss raw hair and bad.
45:27That's really...
45:28What would I do?
45:29See?
45:30gamble for any people?
45:31So desperate for you.
45:32ähnlich as your dad was all with dad,
45:33hell yeah?
45:34chewing nue Give.
45:35You know what, your old boss used to rave about how good you were, but seeing as we are a tech company now, our production line is under full supervision of our new AI detection system, so your grandpa skills are no longer needed. Capisce?
45:54Capisce?
45:56So, you must be the expert? We need this up and running fast.
46:00You're not listening to me, okay? I can't do it. Pierre can't do it. Hank here is the only expert. We're useless.
46:11You heard what Tom said. This is some old fart that we just fired last week.
46:17An incompetent union pig just like the rest of them.
46:24I wouldn't even trust him to fix my vacuum, let alone a state-of-the-art million-dollar machine.
46:37He's gonna break it.
46:38Look, you're gonna have to find someone else.
46:40I'm done with Webster.
46:42Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.
46:43You know what?
46:44If Hank's done, then we're out of here, too.
46:46We're not touching him.
46:46What?
46:47Why?
46:48He's just a stupid union hack.
46:50Please, Webster, he's counting on you.
46:52We need you.
46:52Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
46:55What if we can pay Hank to fix it?
46:58Like, like, purchase it like a method.
47:00What if we can get him to sell his technique?
