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.

00:00:11God damn it!

00:00:12Do you see this?

00:00:14They'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 not up.

00:00:27I don't want to hear your excuses.

00:00:28You're a god damn Ivy League graduate, I 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.

00:00:39You have to run a whole AI diagnostic system and you're over here fiddling.

00:00:44With all due respect, Mr. Russell, I know the Webster Corsair, like the back of my hand.

00:00:49I designed this car back in the day. I'll figure out what's wrong with it.

00:00:51We have a million dollar AI diagnostic so we can't turn up anything.

00:00:55But you're going to figure it out with a $5 wrench?

00:00:57Well, fancy gadgets and high-minded degrees can be important, but sometimes what you need is plain old experience.

00:01:04You know what? Go ahead. I got nothing to lose. But if anything goes wrong, it's on your ass.

00:01:08Don't worry. I won't mess this up. Let's go.

00:01:12Let's go.

00:01:16Since I'm this fire, I will stand so, this deep desire.

00:01:28Found it.

00:01:31See that?

00:01:32From a shirt.

00:01:33From a shirt.

00:01:33Our owner must have made a legal modification, snagged down a thread during the installation, and jammed the latch during impact.

00:01:41Webster's not at fault.

00:01:43You saved the company a few million, buddy.

00:01:45Let's go show the boss.

00:01:45You are embarrassing me, and you're embarrassing yourself.

00:01:48I think I found the problem.

00:01:52Ah, you old son of a bitch. You did it.

00:01:55All right, I'm going to go to the press, tell the board all the good news.

00:01:59You're a hero at Webster Motor.

00:02:00Attention, everyone. This concludes today's shift. Please shut down your stations and clock out. Drive safe, and we'll see you tomorrow.

00:02:19Oh, Mr. Walker, can I have a word?

00:02:21Oh, of course.

00:02:23Um, this is a car my nephew got from his grandmother.

00:02:35It's a collector's item, which means it's one of a kind, and you're the only one I trust to fix it.

00:02:39You know, it's funny. Last week it was a plane. This week it's a car.

00:02:44Your nephew sure likes to break things, huh?

00:02:46They're some messy teenagers.

00:02:48Yeah, tell me about it. My daughter was the same way.

00:02:52I can have it back to you tomorrow.

00:02:54Great. Is your payment 100k?

00:02:58Miss Wolf, it's an easy fix. You don't have to pay me.

00:03:03Good to see you.

00:03:04Oh, Hank, wait.

00:03:09Hank, wait.

00:03:14I'll be straight with you, okay? You've been at Webster for 40 years.

00:03:17You know cars. You're one of the best engineers in the world, but they treat you worse than the

00:03:22mechanics that work for an hourly rate. Why don't you come work for me at Mach 15?

00:03:28We're developing a new supercar, Silverlink's Model A, and I want you to be in charge.

00:03:33The starting pay is $10 million.

00:03:35That's a lot of money, but you said so yourself, Miss Wolf.

00:03:41I've been with Webster Motors for 40 years, and any time I have remaining, I just assume it be with them.

00:03:48Old mucks like me, we're the backbone of Detroit's industry, and you got a good job on your hands,

00:03:53and you should give it to a youngster. As for me, just stick to toy cars.

00:04:04Hey, look who's early.

00:04:07Hey, how you doing, man?

00:04:08Good.

00:04:09Oh, hey.

00:04:10Come sir, Tom Norris.

00:04:13You reckon he's here to give us a bonus?

00:04:15I doubt it.

00:04:17Move, move, move, move, move.

00:04:19All right, all right, all right.

00:04:20Hey, listen up.

00:04:22I have an announcement.

00:04:23Webster Motors has gone through a change of hands.

00:04:26We've been purchased by Tesalux.

00:04:32Yes, that Tesalux, the EV car company.

00:04:35Sir, a big man upstairs, now some guy named Elon.

00:04:39Tesalux is a tech company.

00:04:41Big emphasis on tech.

00:04:43So all you boomers, you're fired.

00:04:49You're fired.

00:04:51What?

00:04:52Wait, what?

00:04:52Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:04:54We're all fired.

00:04:56That can't be right.

00:04:58Oh, you need me to spell it out for you?

00:05:00Fine.

00:05:01Webster Motors has purchased a cutting edge AI detection system from Apex AI for over 10 billion.

00:05:09And let me tell you, this software makes all of you has-been boomers look like a bunch of

00:05:13fucking amateurs.

00:05:15It'll do more for this company in 10 minutes than you could do in 10 years.

00:05:20So?

00:05:21Go home.

00:05:22Wait for death to come knocking.

00:05:25Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:05:26Now, hold on.

00:05:27That ain't right.

00:05:28Look, we are the backbone of Webster Motors, right?

00:05:32We built this company up from the ground.

00:05:34Hell, some of us were here before Webster was.

00:05:36You can't just let us go.

00:05:37That is as workplace discrimination, right, boys?

00:05:41We're gonna fucking sue you.

00:05:43Well, it's not ageism if you're just bad.

00:05:45We're a tech company now.

00:05:47We need computer people who write AI that does what you do, but they do it better and faster.

00:05:54Face it.

00:05:55This is the 21st century.

00:05:56Everything is fast and digital.

00:05:59It's time for you washed up old farts to pack your little bags and fuck off.

00:06:04Because like it or not, you've been replaced.

00:06:05I might not know anything about AI, but I do know one thing.

00:06:09These machines here, they're finicky.

00:06:12And unless real people are monitoring the assembly line at all times, it's only a matter of time before something goes boom.

00:06:20And all production stops.

00:06:21That's right.

00:06:22Yeah.

00:06:22What do you mean everything goes boom?

00:06:25I've worked here for 40 years.

00:06:28I know these machines.

00:06:29They need to be checked on and resurviced.

00:06:32Otherwise, you're gonna lose billions.

00:06:34Oh, okay.

00:06:36So 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?

00:06:45That's right.

00:06:46And you better make sure they have the experience to know what they're looking for.

00:06:49Oh, holy fuck.

00:06:51You're a real fucking shameless one, you know.

00:06:54I know you won't be able to get another job, but that doesn't mean you can make shit up either.

00:06:57I'm not making anything up.

00:07:00I'm telling you how it is based on my experience.

00:07:02All right, old man.

00:07:03I gotta go.

00:07:04All right.

00:07:05But don't think you're anything special because of yesterday.

00:07:08I downloaded the source code from the diagnostic test myself and that car was perfectly fine.

00:07:14You lucked out with that screw.

00:07:16So all you need to do is go back and rot in hospice.

00:07:21How dare you?

00:07:22How dare you?

00:07:23We built this city with our own hands.

00:07:25And we are the ones that brought industry to Detroit.

00:07:27Yeah.

00:07:27We did all that hard labor so kids like you could go run off to college.

00:07:32And now this is how you're gonna treat us?

00:07:33Shut up.

00:07:34Right?

00:07:34Shut up.

00:07:36You disgusting old fucking hicks.

00:07:38Or I'll call the cops.

00:07:40As of now, you're fired.

00:07:42So this is trespassing.

00:07:43Tom, you need to tell the assembly line supers about the maintenance.

00:07:48If something happens to one of these machines, it's gonna cost Webster millions.

00:07:52And it's a safety hazard.

00:07:54I do not give a fuck about your experience.

00:07:57That is all subjective bullshit.

00:07:59We have the cold hard facts right here.

00:08:02Our new AI detection system will be fully operational in a few short days.

00:08:06You really think it can't handle a few finicky machines?

00:08:10It'll have them back in tip-top shape before you old schmucks need to get your gloves on.

00:08:15Now hurry up and scram or you can forget about your final fucking paycheck.

00:08:25It's all right.

00:08:26Let it go, okay?

00:08:27Look, you warned him plenty about the assembly line, huh?

00:08:30It's his own fault now if you won't listen.

00:08:31Come on, fellas. Let's go. Let's get out of here.

00:08:35Guy's a creep.

00:08:36What do you mean you can't fix it?

00:08:38I pay you millions of dollars for what?

00:08:41Mach 15 is on the line and if you can't fix it-

00:08:43Miss Wolf! Miss Wolf!

00:08:44Can't you see that I'm on the phone?

00:08:45Webster Motors just fired that old car mechanic you told me to keep an eye on.

00:08:50I'll call you back.

00:08:52They fired Hank Walker?

00:08:54Evelyn, I need you to find him.

00:08:56Our CNC mills just suffered a critical error and he's the only one that can fix it.

00:09:00Make sure he gets here, okay? We need him!

00:09:02Got it, boss. I'll offer him a job. What's the pay ceiling?

00:09:06There's no ceiling. We're paying him whatever he wants.

00:09:11I'll have you, Hank.

00:09:13Hey, I'll catch up with you, Hank.

00:09:17Hi, I'm looking for a Mr. Walker.

00:09:19Oh, Hank? Yeah, he just missed him. He went to go see his daughter.

00:09:22Grandpa!

00:09:31Grandpa, I missed you so much. I didn't even get to play with you all that so holy.

00:09:37I know, kiddo. Your grandpa was busy at work, but I'm going to have a lot more time now.

00:09:42I can come over every day if you want.

00:09:43Yeah.

00:09:44Yeah?

00:09:47Oh, you're getting strong.

00:09:48Dad, shouldn't you be at work?

00:09:51I'm actually not going to be working there anymore. Webster laid me off.

00:09:56You got fired?

00:09:59Fuck. What are we going to do about the mortgage now?

00:10:03Mortgage? What are you talking about?

00:10:04The mortgage for this house, you stupid old fuck.

00:10:07Penn and I have been using your paycheck to pay off the mortgage.

00:10:10What are we going to do now? They're going to foreclose on us.

00:10:13Jesse, I've been giving you my paycheck since you and Helen got married.

00:10:17Why isn't the mortgage paid off yet?

00:10:19Because a whole year's worth of your salary didn't even last me a single night in Vegas.

00:10:25So you were gambling it?

00:10:26I bust my back 10 hours a day and what, you gambled it all away in one night on craps?

00:10:33Poker? I can't believe you two, all right? I've given everything for you guys.

00:10:37I stopped drinking coffee for you, all right? I barely scrape by on $300 a month.

00:10:43And you flush it down the drain gambling?

00:10:46Look old man, I don't care. But Helen and I need the money to pay off the mortgage.

00:10:51And until you get another job, I want you to stay away from Audrey.

00:10:55No, Grandpa!

00:10:59What's gotten into you, Jesse?

00:11:01I'm near retirement, okay?

00:11:04What's an old man like me supposed to do?

00:11:07You and Helen and little Audrey, you guys are all that I have.

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

00:11:13Please.

00:11:15I already lost my wife.

00:11:17Don't talk about my mom. If you weren't so stubborn, if you would have just left Detroit

00:11:22when you had the chance, she would have had better insurance coverage and not die.

00:11:28I would be in a better place too. And now we're all stuck in this hellhole because of you.

00:11:37You're useless. My buddy Tom Norris got promoted to senior engineer in a year.

00:11:43You've been there for decades and you're still just some low-level mechanic.

00:11:48Now get out and stay away from Audrey.

00:11:54You want to see Audrey again? Who brings a nice fat paycheck?

00:11:59Jesse's right. Got a job. You owe that to us.

00:12:02Now go dumpster dive if you have to.

00:12:04Grandpa! Grandpa!

00:12:10I just didn't want to give up on my city. Is that... so wrong?

00:12:17Ew.

00:12:18Oh, look at that stinky hobo. Let's cross the street before he gets all his germs on us.

00:12:23Soap.

00:12:32Webster still hasn't given us our last paycheck. And I haven't eaten since last night.

00:12:48Guess this will have to be my dinner.

00:12:53What?

00:12:56Holy shit.

00:12:59Hank Walker. The rock star engineer behind our 1987 Webster Corsair.

00:13:04What are you doing? Eating out of a dumpster.

00:13:07Tom, you know this guy.

00:13:09Yeah. Fired him yesterday. He's a piece of shit mechanic who wouldn't stop going on about,

00:13:14Oh, the assembly line's gonna explode. So I got rid of him.

00:13:18It's no laughing matter, Tom. I'm serious. If you're not careful, that whole assembly line is

00:13:24going to malfunction.

00:13:24Oh, fuck, man. Still stuck on that? That is bullshit.

00:13:29Hank Walker. They may have kept you around for 40 years because they're dumb. But I know you're

00:13:35nothing special. If you were anything like me, you'd at least be a manager.

00:13:39Well, they did ask me, but I turned them down because I want to work with cars. That's what I do best.

00:13:46And I don't need some empty title. But Tom, you have got to listen to me, okay?

00:13:51Have your guys watch the line. Otherwise, it's going to cost Webster millions.

00:13:54What a joke!

00:13:56I can't with you.

00:13:58Look, this is our newest software. All the lights are green.

00:14:02Green means good.

00:14:04See? Nothing can possibly go wrong.

00:14:07Warning. Malfunction detected. Initiating emergency stop protocol.

00:14:15No way this bastard got it right.

00:14:19What the hell happened here? The machine! It's smoking!

00:14:22I don't know. It shouldn't be doing that. We're following the exact same procedures we've always

00:14:27done. Well, it is. Look at it. If this machine goes down, we're gonna have to shut down the whole

00:14:34plant. We're gonna lose millions of dollars.

00:14:38Norris, I don't care what you do. Fix it! By the end of the day, or you're done!

00:14:48What are you just standing there for? Fix it!

00:14:50Um, well, Tom, the thing is, we don't know what the problem is. We don't know what's wrong.

00:14:55What do you mean? Didn't you go to college for this fucking shit?

00:14:58We just used to do what the older guys and Hank would do. They would diagnose it, and they would solve it.

00:15:04Fuck!

00:15:04I'm so fucking sick of this fucking Hank guy. Yeah? What do you want me to do? You want me to go back

00:15:11and bring back those old fossils that I just fucking fired? Fuck off!

00:15:14This whole plant isn't gonna suddenly cease to function because a few wrinkly old farts got laid off.

00:15:20That's bullshit! Now fucking fix it! Faster!

00:15:27Ms. Wolfe, I just don't see why we need a mechanic like Hank Walker right now. Don't we already have an expert

00:15:33from Apex AI working on the CNC machine mill? We already lost one full production line. If we lose

00:15:38another, that could mean hundreds of millions of dollars of loss and profits. Look, you keep an eye

00:15:43on the factory, and I will go find Hank, because he's the only one I trust to fix this. There will

00:15:48never be a replacement for good, old-fashioned human ingenuity. Machines and humans can work together

00:15:54to create the most efficient outcome. But a machine will never replace a human.

00:16:08Getting scrapped, sir? You know it. We still have a lot of material that we need to get rid of.

00:16:14If you can carry it, it's all yours. Thank you. Sir, there must be something you can do. We need

00:16:20to fix this now. Well, luckily you came to the right place. I mean, we here at Apex AI know exactly

00:16:25what we're doing. We can handle stuff like this in our sleep. So we're just gonna have our diagnostics,

00:16:30run on it, figure out a problem, and boom! Bob's your uncle. So this is Apex AI's new detection software?

00:16:37It looks brilliant. Jesus lady! I mean, what did you do to this thing?

00:16:43This is a critical failure. Is there any way you can get it fixed by the end of the day? We need

00:16:48to have production back on schedule or my boss is gonna kill me. I know that machine. The reading

00:16:53is off simply because the sensor skips without a manual check. I mean, this is not a job that you

00:16:57can finish in a day, okay? I mean, this is gonna take like a week. We don't have a week. We have a

00:17:01client waiting on us. We have to get these parts machined now. Is there anything else you can do, please?

00:17:07I mean, we might have a solution. It's just the, it's the pay that you're offering though.

00:17:13Two thousand for an eight-hour workday? Then...

00:17:16It just needs a reset. They're asking for even more.

00:17:21Mr. Pierre and Mr. Esteban, money is not an issue. I will give you two million each for your work here

00:17:26today. And if all goes well, there'll be a little bonus in it for you both as well.

00:17:30Okay. All right, don't worry about it good looking. All right, fixing machines. That's our job.

00:17:34It's a very tough and thankless and very, very difficult job, but we'll get it up and running for

00:17:39you. I can't believe they just scammed that poor girl. And then you're gonna twist it the other way?

00:17:45Get in there. See? Our new AI tool has a solution for everything.

00:17:50Well, step 37, that's what it said. Jeez, this isn't ever happening when Hank was around.

00:17:59Shut up! Do I really fuck up by firing those old timers? I'm not gonna have to bring Hank back on board,

00:18:04am I?

00:18:08What? Apex AI's tech experts are over at Mach 15? Oh, perfect. Those guys are a golden ticket to fixing

00:18:16this machine. I'll head over right now. All righty. Fire it up.

00:18:30So? Not yet. You can't. You gotta reset the machine first. Otherwise, you'll be operating

00:18:39under the faulty presets. You're leading this machine down a one-way path to catastrophic failure.

00:18:45Okay, I'm sorry. Who the fuck is this guy? Go back, get your scrap, get out of here, okay? You're

00:18:50distracting us from this billion-dollar machine here. It's an easy fix. But I bet you two knew that,

00:18:57didn't you? You talked it up to her so you could get that extra pay. What are you talking about?

00:19:02Wow. You know what, Ms. Evelyn, can you get your guys to get him out of here? Okay, he's distracting us

00:19:08from working. Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to step back, please. We have plenty of scrap metal,

00:19:11and I'd be happy to help you get it. Miss, miss, forget the scrap metal. If you give me 10 minutes

00:19:16with this machine, I will tell you exactly what's wrong with it. And I'll fix it for you, free of

00:19:21charge. Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay. So, you saying you can fix this in 10 minutes? We're two of the best

00:19:26mechanics in the world armed with a brand spanking new AI detection system. Now, if we can't pull this

00:19:31off in 10 minutes, what's a scruffy old fart like you gonna do? You may have your fancy AI,

00:19:36but these machines, they were built by people, and they're meant to be maintenance by people. I've been

00:19:42in this industry for 40 years. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. You need somebody like Hank

00:19:47Walker. Ms. Wolfe said he's a genius car mechanic, and he would know how to fix this.

00:19:56That's me.

00:19:56Breaking news. A Webster motor car with faulty brakes caused a deadly explosion, killing three

00:20:04college students. As the company's silence raises questions about accountability, authorities are

00:20:09investigating. God damn it! Do you see this? They're calling our car a burning coffin. They

00:20:15act like we killed those kids ourselves. We need to figure out why the door jammed or Webster's going

00:20:20belly under. Hear you, but we've already dropped a hundred K on diagnostic tests alone and nothing,

00:20:26nada. I don't want to hear your excuses. You're a goddamn Ivy League graduate. I pay you $200,000 a

00:20:32year, either figure it out or find a new job. And what the hell do you think you're doing?

00:20:37Tinkering around. You have to run a whole AI diagnostic system and you're over here fiddling.

00:20:43With all due respect, Mr. Russell, I know the Webster Corsair like the back of my hand. I designed this

00:20:49car back in the day. I'll figure out what's wrong with it. We have a million dollar AI diagnostics

00:20:53who can't turn up anything, but you're going to figure it out with a $5 wrench? Well, fancy gadgets

00:20:59and high-minded degrees can be important, but sometimes what you need is plain old experience.

00:21:04You know what? Go ahead. I got nothing to lose, but if anything goes wrong, it's on your ass.

00:21:09Don't worry. I won't mess this up. Let's go.

00:21:19I will censor this deep desire.

00:21:28Found it.

00:21:31See that? From a shirt.

00:21:33Our owner must have made a legal modification, snagged it on a thread during the installation,

00:21:38and jammed the latch during impact.

00:21:39The Webster's not at fault.

00:21:41You saved the company a few million, buddy.

00:21:43Let's go show the boss.

00:21:45You are embarrassing me, and you're embarrassing yourself.

00:21:47I think I found the problem.

00:21:52Ah, you old son of a bitch! You did it!

00:21:55All right, I'm going to go to the press, tell the board all the good news.

00:21:58You're a hero at Webster Motor.

00:22:05Attention, everyone. This concludes today's shift.

00:22:08Please shut down your stations and clock out. Drive safe, and we'll see you tomorrow.

00:22:15Oh, Mr. Walker. Can I have a word?

00:22:21Oh, of course.

00:22:30Um, this is a car my nephew got from his grandmother.

00:22:34It's a collector's item, which means it's one of a kind, and you're the only one I trust to fix it.

00:22:39You know, it's funny. Last week it was a plane. This week it's a car.

00:22:43Your nephew sure likes to break things, huh?

00:22:46They're just messy, teenagers.

00:22:47Yeah, tell me about it. My daughter was the same way. I can have her back to you tomorrow.

00:22:53Great. Is your payment 100k?

00:22:58Miss Wolf, it's an easy fix. You don't have to pay me. Good to see you.

00:23:03Oh, Hank, wait. Hank, wait. I'll be straight with you.

00:23:14Okay, you've been at Webster for 40 years. You know cars. You're one of the best engineers

00:23:20in the world. But they treat you worse than the mechanics that work for an hourly rate.

00:23:25Why don't you come work for me at Mach 15? We're developing a new supercar.

00:23:29Silver Link's Model A, and I want you to be in charge. The starting pay is 10 million dollars.

00:23:35That's a lot of money. But you said so yourself, Miss Wolf.

00:23:41I've been with Webster Motors for 40 years, and any time I have remaining, I just assume it be with them.

00:23:48Old mucks like me were the backbone of Detroit's industry, and you got a good job on your hands,

00:23:53and you should give it to a youngster. As for me, just stick to toy cars.

00:23:59Hey, look who's early. Hey, how you doing, man?

00:24:07Good. Oh, hey. Thank you.

00:24:09Come sir, Tom Norris. You reckon he's here to give us a bonus?

00:24:15I doubt it. Move, move, move, move, move.

00:24:19All right, all right, all right. Hey, listen up. I have an announcement.

00:24:23Webster Motors has gone through a change of hands. We've been purchased by Tesalux.

00:24:29Uh-uh-uh. Yes, that Tesalux, the EV car company. Sir, a big man upstairs, now some guy named Elon.

00:24:37Tesalux is a tech company. Big emphasis on tech. So all you boomers, you're fired.

00:24:45You're fired.

00:24:49What? Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait, wait. We're all fired. That can't be right.

00:24:57Oh, you need me to spell it out for you? Fine. Webster Motors has purchased a cutting edge AI detection system from Apex AI for over 10 billion.

00:25:07And let me tell you, this software makes all of you has-been boomers look like a bunch of fucking amateurs.

00:25:13It'll do more for this company in 10 minutes than you could do in 10 years.

00:25:19So, go home. Wait for death to come knocking.

00:25:23Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Now hold on. That ain't right. Look, we are the backbone of Webster Motors, right? We built this company up from the ground.

00:25:33Hell, some of us were here before Webster was. You can't just let us go. That is as workplace discrimination, right, boys?

00:25:39We're gonna fucking sue you!

00:25:41Well, it's not ageism if you're just bad. We're a tech company now. We need computer people who write AI that does what you do, but they do it better and faster. Face it. This is the 21st century. Everything is fast and digital.

00:25:57It's time for you washed up old farts to pack your little backs and fuck off, because like it or not, you've been replaced.

00:26:04I might not know anything about AI, but I do know one thing.

00:26:08These machines here, they're finicky, and unless real people are monitoring the assembly line at all times, it's only a matter of time before something goes boom, and all production stops.

00:26:20That's right. What do you mean everything goes boom?

00:26:24I've worked here for 40 years. I know these machines. They need to be checked on and resurviced. Otherwise, you're gonna lose billions.

00:26:33Oh, okay. 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?

00:26:44Yeah, that's right. And you better make sure they have the experience to know what they're looking for.

00:26:47Oh, holy fuck! You're a real fucking shameless one, you know? I know you won't be able to get another job, but that doesn't mean you can make shit up either.

00:26:56I'm not making anything up. I'm telling you how it is based on my experience.

00:27:01All right, old man, I gotta go, all right? But don't think you're anything special because of yesterday.

00:27:07I downloaded the source code from the diagnostic test myself, and that car was perfectly fine. You lucked out with that screw.

00:27:14So all you need to do is go back and rot in hospice.

00:27:19No, no, no! How dare you? How dare you? We built this city with our own hands. We are the ones that brought industry to Detroit!

00:27:26Yeah! We did all that hard labor so kids like you could go run off to college. And now this is how you're gonna treat us?

00:27:32Shut up! Right? Shut up! You disgusting old fucking hicks! Or I'll call the cops. As if now you're fired. So this is trespassing.

00:27:42Tom, you need to tell the assembly line supers about the maintenance. If something happens to one of these machines, it's gonna cost Webster millions. And it's a safety hazard.

00:27:53I do not give a fuck about your experience. That is all subjective bullshit. We have the cold hard facts right here.

00:28:00Our new AI detection system will be fully operational in a few short days.

00:28:05You really think it can't handle a few finicky machines? It'll have them back in tip-top shape before you old schmucks need to get your gloves on.

00:28:13Now hurry up and scram, or you can forget about your final fucking paycheck!

00:28:23Whoa!

00:28:24It's alright. It's alright. Let it go, okay? Look, you warned him plenty about the assembly line, huh?

00:28:28It's his own fault now if you won't listen.

00:28:32Come on, fellas. Let's go. Let's get out of here. Guy's a creep.

00:28:35What do you mean you can't fix it? I pay you millions of dollars for what? Mach 15 is on the line and if you can't fix it-

00:28:42Miss Wolfe! Miss Wolfe! Can't you see that I'm on the phone?

00:28:44Webster Motors just fired that old car mechanic who told me to keep an eye on.

00:28:49I'll call you back.

00:28:50They fired Hank Walker?

00:28:53Evelyn, I need you to find him.

00:28:55Our CNC mills just suffered a critical error and he's the only one that can fix it.

00:28:59Make sure he gets here, okay? We need him!

00:29:01Got it, boss. I'll offer him a job. What's the pay ceiling?

00:29:04There's no ceiling. We're paying him whatever he wants.

00:29:09I'll have you, Hank.

00:29:12Hey, I'll catch up with you, Hank.

00:29:16Hi, I'm looking for a Mr. Walker.

00:29:18Oh, Hank? Yeah, he just missed him. He went to go see his daughter.

00:29:24Grandpa!

00:29:26Grandpa! I missed you so much! I didn't even get to clear you all up so holy.

00:29:36I know, kiddo. Your grandpa was busy at work. But, I'm gonna have a lot more time now. I can come over every day if you want.

00:29:42Cool.

00:29:43Yeah?

00:29:46Oh, you're getting strong.

00:29:47Dad.

00:29:48Shouldn't you be at work?

00:29:50I'm actually not gonna be working there anymore. Webster laid me off.

00:29:55You got fired?

00:29:58Fuck.

00:29:59What are we gonna do about the mortgage now?

00:30:01Mortgage? What are you talking about?

00:30:03The mortgage for this house, you stupid old fuck.

00:30:06Penn and I have been using your paycheck to pay off the mortgage.

00:30:09What are we gonna do now? They're gonna foreclose on us.

00:30:11Jesse, I've been giving you my paycheck since you and Helen got married.

00:30:16Why isn't the mortgage paid off yet?

00:30:18Because a whole year's worth of your salary didn't even last me a single night in Vegas.

00:30:24So you were gambling it?

00:30:26I bust my back ten hours a day and what? You gambled it all away in one night on craps? Poker?

00:30:33I can't believe you two. All right? I've given everything for you guys.

00:30:36I stopped drinking coffee for you, all right? I barely scrape by on $300 a month.

00:30:41And you flush it down the drain, gambling?

00:30:44Look old man, I don't care. But Helen and I need the money to pay off the mortgage.

00:30:50And until you get another job, I want you to stay away from Audrey.

00:30:55No, Grandpa!

00:30:58What's gotten into you, Jesse? I'm near retirement, okay?

00:31:03What's an old man like me supposed to do?

00:31:06You and Helen and little Audrey, you guys are all that I have.

00:31:10I just want to see this little girl grow up, okay?

00:31:13Please. I already lost my wife.

00:31:16Don't talk about my mom.

00:31:18If you weren't so stubborn, if you would have just left Detroit when you had the chance,

00:31:22she would have had better insurance coverage and not die.

00:31:25I would be in a better place too. And now we're all stuck in this hell hole because of you.

00:31:35You're useless.

00:31:36My buddy Tom Norris got promoted to senior engineer in a year!

00:31:41You've been there for decades!

00:31:43And you're still just some low-level mechanic.

00:31:46Now get out! And stay away from Audrey!

00:31:49Grandpa! Grandpa!

00:31:51You want to see Audrey again? Who brings us a nice fat paycheck?

00:31:57Grandpa!

00:31:58Jesse's right. Got a job. You owe that to us.

00:32:01Now go dumpster dive if you have to.

00:32:03Grandpa! Grandpa!

00:32:07Grandpa!

00:32:09I just didn't want to give up on my city. Is that... so wrong?

00:32:14Oh, look at that stinky hobo. Let's cross the street before he gets all his germs on us.

00:32:31Webster still hasn't given us our last paycheck. And I haven't eaten since last night.

00:32:44Guess this will have to be my dinner.

00:32:53Wh-

00:32:55Holy shit!

00:32:58Mike Walker!

00:32:59The rockstar engineer behind our 1987 Webster Corsair.

00:33:03What are you doing?

00:33:05Eating out of a dumpster.

00:33:06Tom, you know this guy!

00:33:08Yep.

00:33:09Fired him yesterday.

00:33:10He's a piece of shit mechanic who wouldn't stop going on about

00:33:13Oh, the assembly line's gonna explode!

00:33:15So I got rid of him.

00:33:17It's no laughing matter, Tom.

00:33:19I'm serious.

00:33:20If you're not careful, that whole assembly line is going to malfunction.

00:33:23Oh, fuck, man.

00:33:25Still stuck on that?

00:33:26That is bullshit.

00:33:28Hank Walker.

00:33:29They may have kept you around for 40 years because they're dumb.

00:33:32But I know you're nothing special.

00:33:34If you were anything like me, you'd at least be a manager.

00:33:37Well, they did ask me.

00:33:39But I turned him down because I want to work with cars.

00:33:43And that's what I do best.

00:33:44And I don't need some empty title.

00:33:46But Tom, you have got to listen to me, okay?

00:33:49Have your guys watch the line.

00:33:51Otherwise, it's gonna cost Webster millions.

00:33:53What a joke!

00:33:54I can't with you.

00:33:56Look, this is our newest software.

00:33:59All the lights are green.

00:34:01Green means good.

00:34:03See?

00:34:04Nothing can possibly go wrong.

00:34:07Warning.

00:34:08Malfunction detected.

00:34:09Initiating emergency stop protocol.

00:34:14No way this bastard got it right.

00:34:18What the hell happened here?

00:34:19The machine!

00:34:20It's smoking!

00:34:21I don't know.

00:34:22It shouldn't be doing that.

00:34:24We're following the exact same procedures we've always done.

00:34:27Well, it is!

00:34:28Look at it!

00:34:29If this machine goes down,

00:34:31we're gonna have to shut down the whole plant!

00:34:33We're gonna lose millions of dollars!

00:34:37Norris, I don't care what you do.

00:34:39Fix it!

00:34:40By the end of the day,

00:34:41or you're done!

00:34:47What are you just standing there for?

00:34:48Fix it!

00:34:50Um, well, Tom,

00:34:51the thing is we don't know what the problem is.

00:34:53We don't know what's wrong.

00:34:54What do you mean?

00:34:55Didn't you go to college for this fucking shit?

00:34:57We just used to do what the older guys and Hank would do.

00:35:00They would diagnose it and-

00:35:02and they would solve it.

00:35:03Fuck!

00:35:04I'm so fucking sick of this fucking Hank guy.

00:35:07Yeah?

00:35:08What do you want me to do?

00:35:09You want me to go back and bring back those old fossils that I just fucking fired?

00:35:13Fuck off!

00:35:14This whole plant isn't gonna suddenly cease to function

00:35:17because a few wrinkly old farts got laid off.

00:35:20That's bullshit!

00:35:21Now fucking fix it!

00:35:22Faster!

00:35:23Ms. Wolfe, I just don't see why we need a mechanic like Hank Walker right now.

00:35:30Don't we already have an expert from Apex AI working on the CNC machine mill?

00:35:35We already lost one full production line.

00:35:37If we lose another, that could mean hundreds of millions of dollars of loss and profits.

00:35:41Look, you keep an eye on the factory and I will go find Hank because he's the only one I trust to fix this.

00:35:46There will never be a replacement for good, old-fashioned human ingenuity.

00:35:50Machines and humans can work together to create the most efficient outcome.

00:35:54But a machine will never replace a human.

00:36:07Getting scrapped, sir?

00:36:08You know it.

00:36:09We still have a lot of material that we need to get rid of.

00:36:12If you can carry it, it's all yours.

00:36:16Sir, there must be something you can do.

00:36:18We need to fix this now.

00:36:19Well, luckily you came to the right place.

00:36:21I mean, we here at Apex AI know exactly what we're doing.

00:36:24We can handle stuff like this in our sleep.

00:36:26So we're just gonna have our diagnostics run on it, figure out a problem, and boom.

00:36:31Bob's your uncle.

00:36:32So this is Apex AI's new detection software?

00:36:35It looks brilliant.

00:36:37Jesus, lady.

00:36:40I mean, what did you do to this thing?

00:36:42This is a critical failure.

00:36:44Is there any way you can get it fixed by the end of the day?

00:36:46We need to have production back on schedule or my boss is gonna kill me.

00:36:49I know that machine.

00:36:51The reading is off simply because the sensor skips without a manual check.

00:36:55I mean, this is not a job that you can finish in a day, okay?

00:36:57I mean, this is gonna take like a week.

00:36:58We don't have a week.

00:36:59We have a client waiting on us.

00:37:00We have to get these parts machined now.

00:37:02Is there anything else you can do, please?

00:37:05I mean, we might have a solution.

00:37:09It's just the, it's the pay that you're offering though.

00:37:12Two thousand for an eight hour work day?

00:37:14Then...

00:37:15It just needs a reset.

00:37:17They're asking for even more.

00:37:18Ah, ha.

00:37:20Mr. Pierre and Mr. Esteban, money is not an issue.

00:37:23I will give you two million each for your work here today.

00:37:25And, if all goes well, there'll be a little bonus in it for you both as well.

00:37:29Okay.

00:37:30Alright, don't worry about it good looking.

00:37:31Alright, fixing machines?

00:37:32That's our job.

00:37:33It's a very tough and thankless and very, very difficult job, but we'll get it up and run it for you.

00:37:38I can't believe they just scammed that poor girl.

00:37:42And then you're gonna twist it the other way?

00:37:44Get in there.

00:37:45See?

00:37:46Our new AI tool has a solution for everything.

00:37:49Ah!

00:37:50Whoa!

00:37:51Ah!

00:37:52Ah!

00:37:53Ah!

00:37:54Ah!

00:37:55Ah!

00:37:56Ah!

00:37:57Ah!

00:37:58Ah!

00:37:59Did I really fuck up by firing those old-timers?

00:38:02I'm not going to have to bring Hank back on board, am I?

00:38:08What?

00:38:09Apex AI's tech experts are over at Mach 15?

00:38:12Oh, perfect.

00:38:13Those guys are a golden ticket to fixing this machine.

00:38:16I'll head over right now.

00:38:24Alrighty.

00:38:26Fire it up.

00:38:29Go!

00:38:31Not yet.

00:38:34You can't.

00:38:35You got to reset the machine first.

00:38:37Otherwise, you'll be operating under the faulty presets.

00:38:41You're leading this machine down a one-way path to catastrophic failure.

00:38:45Okay, I'm sorry.

00:38:45Who the fuck is this guy?

00:38:47Go back, get your scrap, get out of here.

00:38:49Okay, you're distracting us from this billion-dollar machine here.

00:38:54It's an easy fix.

00:38:56But I bet you two knew that, didn't you?

00:38:57Well, you talked it up to her so you could get that extra pay.

00:39:01What are you talking about?

00:39:02Wow.

00:39:03You know what, Ms. Evelyn, can you get your guys to get him out of here?

00:39:05Okay, he's distracting us from working.

00:39:08Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to step back, please.

00:39:10We have plenty of scrap metal, and I'd be happy to help you get it.

00:39:13Miss, miss, forget the scrap metal.

00:39:14If you give me 10 minutes with this machine, I will tell you exactly what's wrong with it.

00:39:19And I'll fix it for you, free of charge.

00:39:21Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:39:22Okay, so you're saying you can fix this in 10 minutes.

00:39:25We're two of the best mechanics in the world armed with a brand spanking new AI detection system.

00:39:30Now, if we can't pull this off in 10 minutes, what's a scruffy old fart like you going to do?

00:39:33You may have your fancy AI, but these machines, they were built by people, and they're meant to be maintenanced by people.

00:39:41I've been in this industry for 40 years.

00:39:43Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

00:39:45You need somebody like Hank Walker.

00:39:47Ms. Wolfe said he's a genius car mechanic, and he would know how to fix this.

00:39:55That's me.

00:39:59Breaking news.

00:40:00A Webster motor car with faulty brakes caused a deadly explosion.

00:40:03Killing three college students.

00:40:05As the company's silence raises questions about accountability, authorities are investigating.

00:40:09God damn it!

00:40:11Do you see this?

00:40:12They're calling our car a burning coffin.

00:40:15They act like we killed those kids ourselves.

00:40:17We need to figure out why the door jammed or Webster's going belly under.

00:40:20Hear you, but we've already dropped 100K on diagnostic tests alone and nothing not up.

00:40:26I don't want to hear your excuses.

00:40:27You're a goddamn Ivy League graduate.

00:40:29If you do it, I pay you $200,000 a year, either figure it out or find a new job.

00:40:35And what the hell do you think you're doing?

00:40:37Tinkering around.

00:40:38You have to run a whole AI diagnostic system and you're over here fiddling.

00:40:43With all due respect, Mr. Russell, I know the Webster Corsair, like the back of my hand.

00:40:47I designed this car back in the day.

00:40:49I'll figure out what's wrong with it.

00:40:51We have a million-dollar AI diagnosis who can't turn up anything, but you're going to

00:40:54figure it out with a $5 wrench?

00:40:56Well, fancy gadgets and high-minded degrees can be important, but sometimes what you need

00:41:03is plain old experience.

00:41:04You know what?

00:41:05Go ahead.

00:41:05I got nothing to lose.

00:41:06But if anything goes wrong, it's on your ass.

00:41:08Don't worry.

00:41:10I won't mess this up.

00:41:11Let's go.

00:41:12Since I'm this far, I will sense all this deep desire.

00:41:27Found it.

00:41:30See that?

00:41:32From a shirt.

00:41:33Our owner must have made a legal modification, snagged it on a thread during the installation,

00:41:37and jammed the latch during impact.

00:41:39Webster's not at fault.

00:41:40Well, you saved the company a few million, buddy.

00:41:44Let's go show the boss.

00:41:44You are embarrassing me, and you're embarrassing yourself.

00:41:47I think I found the problem.

00:41:51Ah, you old son of a bitch.

00:41:53You did it.

00:41:54All right, I'm going to go to the press, tell the board all the good news.

00:41:58You're a hero at Webster Motor.

00:42:02They pulled you down.

00:42:04Attention, everyone.

00:42:05This concludes today's shift.

00:42:07Please shut down your stations and clock out.

00:42:09Drive safe, and we'll see you tomorrow.

00:42:11Oh, Mr. Walker, can I have a word?

00:42:20Oh, of course.

00:42:22Um, this is a car my nephew got from his grandmother.

00:42:34It's a collector's item, which means it's one of a kind, and you're the only one I trust to fix it.

00:42:39You know, it's funny.

00:42:39Last week it was a plane.

00:42:41This week it's a car.

00:42:43Your nephew sure likes to break things, huh?

00:42:45They're some messy teenagers.

00:42:47Tell me about it.

00:42:48My daughter was the same way.

00:42:50I can have her back to you tomorrow.

00:42:52Great.

00:42:53Is your payment 100k?

00:42:57Miss Wolf, it's an easy fix.

00:43:00You don't have to pay me.

00:43:02Good to see you.

00:43:03Oh, Hank, wait.

00:43:08Hank, wait.

00:43:13I'll be straight with you.

00:43:14Okay, you've been at Webster for 40 years.

00:43:16You know cars.

00:43:18You're one of the best engineers in the world.

00:43:20But they treat you worse than the mechanics that work for an hourly rate.

00:43:23Why don't you come work for me at Mach 15?

00:43:27We're developing a new supercar.

00:43:29Silver Link's Model A, and I want you to be in charge.

00:43:31The starting pay is $10 million.

00:43:35That's a lot of money.

00:43:37But you said so yourself, Miss Wolf.

00:43:38I've been with Webster Motors for 40 years, and any time I have remaining, I just assume

00:43:46it be with them.

00:43:47Old mucks like me, we're the backbone of Detroit's industry, and you've got a good job on your

00:43:52hands, and you should give it to a youngster.

00:43:55As for me, just stick to toy cars.

00:44:03Hey, look who's early.

00:44:06Hey, how you doing, man?

00:44:07Good.

00:44:07Oh, hey.

00:44:10Come sir, Tom Norris.

00:44:12You reckon he's here to give us a bonus?

00:44:14I doubt it.

00:44:16Move.

00:44:17Move, move, move, move, move.

00:44:18All right, all right, all right.

00:44:19Hey, listen up.

00:44:21I have an announcement.

00:44:22Webster Motors has gone through a change of hands.

00:44:25We've been purchased by Tesalux.

00:44:29Ah, ah, ah.

00:44:31Yes, that Tesalux, the EV car company.

00:44:34Sir, a big man upstairs, now some guy named...

00:44:37Elon, Tesalux is a tech company.

00:44:40Big emphasis on tech.

00:44:42So all you boomers, you're fired.

00:44:48You're fired.

00:44:50What?

00:44:50Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:44:53We're all fired.

00:44:55That can't be right.

00:44:57Oh, you need me to spell it out for you?

00:44:59Fine.

00:45:00Webster Motors has purchased a cutting-edge AI detection system from Apex AI for over 10 billion.

00:45:07And let me tell you, this software makes all of you has-been boomers look like a bunch of fucking amateurs.

00:45:14It'll do more for this company in 10 minutes than you could do in 10 years.

00:45:19So, go home.

00:45:22Wait for death to come knocking.

00:45:24Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:45:25Now, hold on.

00:45:26That ain't right.

00:45:27Look, we are the backbone of Webster Motors, right?

00:45:31We built this company up from the ground.

00:45:33Hell, some of us were here before Webster was.

00:45:35You can't just let us go.

00:45:36That is, as workplace discrimination, right, boys?

00:45:39Yeah, right.

00:45:40We're gonna fucking sue you.

00:45:41Well, it's not ageism if you're just bad.

00:45:44We're a tech company now.

00:45:46We need computer people who write AI that does what you do, but they do it better and faster.

00:45:53Face it.

00:45:54This is the 21st century.

00:45:56Everything is fast and digital.

00:45:58It's time for you washed-up old farts to pack your little bags and fuck off.

00:46:03Because like it or not, you've been replaced.

00:46:05I might not know anything about AI, but I do know one thing.

00:46:08These machines here, they're finicky.

00:46:11And unless real people are monitoring the assembly line at all times,

00:46:15it's only a matter of time before something goes boom.

00:46:19And all production stops.

00:46:21That's right.

00:46:21What do you mean everything goes boom?

00:46:25I've worked here for 40 years.

00:46:27I know these machines.

00:46:29They need to be checked on and resurviced.

00:46:31Otherwise, you're gonna lose billions.

00:46:33Oh, okay.

00:46:35So you're saying the reason that I can't fire you old fucks is because I need someone

00:46:42to watch the machine all day or it's gonna go boom?

00:46:44Yeah, that's right.

00:46:45And you better make sure they have the experience to know what they're looking for.

00:46:48Oh, holy fuck.

00:46:50You're a real fucking shameless one, you know?

00:46:53I know you won't be able to get another job, but that doesn't mean you can make shit up either.

00:46:57I'm not making anything up.

00:46:58I'm telling you how it is based on my experience.

00:47:01All right.

00:47:02Old man, I gotta go.

00:47:03All right?

00:47:04But don't think you're anything special because of yesterday.

00:47:07I downloaded the source code from the diagnostic test myself,

00:47:10and that car was perfectly fine.

00:47:13You lucked out with that screw.

00:47:15So all you need to do is go back and rot in hospice.

00:47:19No, no, no.

00:47:20How dare you?

00:47:21How dare you?

00:47:22We built this city with our own hands.

00:47:24We are the ones that brought industry to Detroit.

00:47:26Yeah.

00:47:26We did all that hard labor so kids like you could go run off to college.

00:47:31And now this is how you're going to treat us?

00:47:32Shut up!

00:47:33Right?

00:47:33Shut up!

00:47:34You disgusting old fucking hicks.

00:47:37Or I'll call the cops.

00:47:39As of now, you're fired.

00:47:40So this is trespassing.

00:47:43Tom, you need to tell the assembly line supers about the maintenance.

00:47:48If something happens to one of these machines, it's going to cost Webster millions.

00:47:51And it's a safety hazard.

00:47:53I do not give a fuck about your experience.

00:47:55That is all subjective bullshit.

00:47:58We have the cold, hard facts right here.

00:48:01Our new AI detection system will be fully operational in a few short days.

00:48:06You really think it can't handle a few finicky machines?

00:48:09It'll have them back in tip-top shape before you old schmucks need to get your gloves on.

00:48:13Now hurry up and scram, or you can forget about your final fucking paycheck.

00:48:23It's all right.

00:48:25It's all right.

00:48:25Let it go, okay?

00:48:26Look, you warned him plenty about the assembly line, huh?

00:48:29It's his own fault now if you won't listen.

00:48:30Come on, fellas.

00:48:33Let's go.

00:48:33Let's get out of here.

00:48:34Guy's a creep.

00:48:35What do you mean you can't fix it?

00:48:37I pay you millions of dollars for what?

00:48:40Mach 15 is on the line, and if you can't fix it-

00:48:42Miss Wolf, Miss Wolf.

00:48:43Can't you see that I'm on the phone?

00:48:44Webster Motors just fired that old car mechanic.

00:48:46You told me to keep an eye on.

00:48:47I'll call you back.

00:48:51They fired Hank Walker?

00:48:53Evelyn, I need you to find him.

00:48:56Our CNC mills just suffered a critical error, and he's the only one that can fix it.

00:48:59Make sure he gets here, okay?

00:49:01We need him!

00:49:01Got it, boss.

00:49:02I'll offer him a job.

00:49:03What's the pay ceiling?

00:49:05There's no ceiling.

00:49:07We're paying him whatever he wants.

00:49:10I'll have you, Hank.

00:49:12Hey, I'll catch up with you, Hank.

00:49:13Hi, I'm looking for a Mr. Walker.

00:49:18Who, Hank?

00:49:19Yeah, he just missed him.

00:49:20He went to go see his daughter.

00:49:24Grandpa!

00:49:30Grandpa, I miss you so much.

00:49:32I didn't even get to pair you all up.

00:49:34So holy.

00:49:36I know, kiddo.

00:49:37Your grandpa was busy at work.

00:49:39But I'm going to have a lot more time now.

00:49:41I can come over every day if you want.

00:49:42Yeah?

00:49:46Oh, you're getting strong.

00:49:47Dad.

00:49:48Shouldn't you be at work?

00:49:50I'm actually not going to be working there anymore.

00:49:53Webster laid me off.

00:49:55You got fired?

00:49:58Fuck.

00:49:59What are we going to do about the mortgage now?

00:50:02Mortgage?

00:50:02What are you talking about?

00:50:04The mortgage for this house, you stupid old fuck.

00:50:07Penn and I have been using your paycheck to pay off the mortgage.

00:50:09What are we going to do now?

00:50:10They're going to foreclose on us.

00:50:11Jesse, I've been giving you my paycheck since you and Helen got married.

00:50:16Why isn't the mortgage paid off yet?

00:50:18Because a whole year's worth of your salary didn't even last me a single night in Vegas.

00:50:24So you were gambling it?

00:50:25I bust my back ten hours a day and what?

00:50:29You gambled it all away in one night on craps?

00:50:32Poker?

00:50:33I can't believe you two.

00:50:34All right?

00:50:35I've given everything for you guys.

00:50:36I stopped drinking coffee for you, all right?

00:50:38I barely scrape by on $300 a month.

00:50:42And you flush it down the drain gambling?

00:50:44Look, old man, I don't care.

00:50:48But Helen and I need the money to pay off the mortgage.

00:50:51And until you get another job, I want you to stay away from Audrey.

00:50:55Oh, Grandpa!

00:50:56What's gotten into you, Jesse?

00:51:00I'm near retirement, okay?

00:51:03What's an old man like me supposed to do?

00:51:06You and Helen and little Audrey, you guys are all that I have.

00:51:10I just want to see this little girl grow up, okay?

00:51:13Please.

00:51:15I already lost my wife.

00:51:16Don't talk about my mom.

00:51:17If you weren't so stubborn, if you would have just left Detroit when you had the chance,

00:51:23she would have had better insurance coverage and not die.

00:51:27I would be in a better place, too.

00:51:29And now we're all stuck in this hellhole because of you.

00:51:36You're useless.

00:51:37My buddy Tom Norris got promoted to senior engineer in a year.

00:51:42You've been there for decades.

00:51:43And you're still just some low-level mechanic.

00:51:46Now get out!

00:51:48Now stay away from Audrey!

00:51:52You want to see Audrey again?

00:51:54Who brings a nice, fat paycheck?

00:51:58Jesse's right.

00:51:59Good job.

00:52:00You owe that to us.

00:52:01Now go dumpster dive if you have to.

00:52:07I just didn't want to give up on my city.

00:52:12Is that so wrong?

00:52:16Oh, look at that stinky hobo.

00:52:19Let's cross the street before he gets all his germs on us.

00:52:31Webster still hasn't given us our last paycheck.

00:52:34And I haven't eaten since last night.

00:52:35I guess this will have to be my dinner.

00:52:48Holy shit.

00:52:58Mike Walker.

00:52:59The rock star engineer behind our 1987 Webster Corsair.

00:53:03What are you doing?

00:53:05Eating out of a dumpster.

00:53:06Tom, you know this guy.

00:53:08Yeah.

00:53:09Fired him yesterday.

00:53:10He's a piece of shit mechanic who wouldn't stop going on about,

00:53:13Oh, the assembly line's going to explode.

00:53:16So I got rid of him.

00:53:17It's no laughing matter, Tom.

00:53:19I'm serious.

00:53:20If you're not careful, that whole assembly line is going to malfunction.

00:53:24Oh, fuck, man.

00:53:25Still stuck on that?

00:53:26That is bullshit.

00:53:28Hank Walker.

00:53:29Sir, they may have kept you around for 40 years because they're dumb.

00:53:33But I know you're nothing special.

00:53:35If you were anything like me, you'd at least be a manager.

00:53:38Well, they did ask me.

00:53:40But I turned them down.

00:53:41Because I want to work with cars.

00:53:44That's what I do best.

00:53:45And I don't need some empty title.

00:53:47But Tom, you have got to listen to me, okay?

00:53:50Have your guys watch the line.

00:53:51Otherwise, it's going to cost Webster millions.

00:53:53What a joke.

00:53:54I can't with you.

00:53:56Look, this is our newest software.

00:54:00All the lights are green.

00:54:01Green means good.

00:54:04See?

00:54:04Nothing can possibly go wrong.

00:54:07Warning.

00:54:08Malfunction detected.

00:54:10Initiating emergency stop protocol.

00:54:14No way this bastard got it right.

00:54:18What the hell happened here?

00:54:20The machine!

00:54:21It's smoking!

00:54:21I don't know.

00:54:22It shouldn't be doing that.

00:54:24We're following the exact same procedures we've always done.

00:54:27Well, it is.

00:54:28Look at it.

00:54:29If this machine goes down, we're going to have to shut down the whole plant.

00:54:33We're going to lose millions of dollars.

00:54:37Norris, I don't care what you do.

00:54:39Fix it by the end of the day or you're done.

00:54:42What are you just standing there for?

00:54:48Fix it!

00:54:49Um, well, Tom, the thing is, we don't know what the problem is.

00:54:53We don't know what's wrong.

00:54:54What do you mean?

00:54:55Didn't you go to college for this fucking shit?

00:54:57We just used to do what the older guys and Hank would do.

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

00:55:03Fuck!

00:55:04So fucking sick of this fucking Hank guy.

00:55:07What do you want me to do?

00:55:08You want me to go back and bring back those old fossils that I just fucking fired?

00:55:13Fuck off!

00:55:14This whole plant isn't going to suddenly cease to function because a few wrinkly old farts got laid off.

00:55:20That's bullshit.

00:55:21Now fucking fix it!

00:55:22Faster!

00:55:26Miss Wolfe, I just don't see why we need a mechanic like Hank Walker right now.

00:55:30Don't we already have an expert from Apex AI working on the CNC machine mill?

00:55:35We already lost one full production line.

00:55:37If we lose another, that could mean hundreds of millions of dollars of loss and profits.

00:55:42Look, you keep an eye on the factory and I will go find Hank because he's the only one I trust to fix this.

00:55:46There will never be a replacement for good, old-fashioned human ingenuity.

00:55:51Machines and humans can work together to create the most efficient outcome.

00:55:55But a machine will never replace a human.

00:56:07Getting scrapped, sir?

00:56:08You know it.

00:56:09We still have a lot of material that we need to get rid of.

00:56:13If you can carry it, it's all yours.

00:56:17Sir, there must be something you can do.

00:56:19We need to fix this now.

00:56:20Well, luckily you came to the right place.

00:56:22I mean, we here at Apex AI know exactly what we're doing.

00:56:25We can handle stuff like this in our sleep.

00:56:27So we're just going to have our diagnostics run on it, figure out a problem, and boom.

00:56:32Bob's your uncle.

00:56:33So this is Apex AI's new detection software?

00:56:36It looks brilliant.

00:56:39Jesus lady.

00:56:40I mean, what did you do to this thing?

00:56:42This is a critical failure.

00:56:44Is there any way you can get it fixed by the end of the day?

00:56:46We need to have production back on schedule or my boss is going to kill me.

00:56:50I know that machine.

00:56:51The reading is off simply because the sensor skips without a manual check.

00:56:55I mean, this is not a job that you can finish in a day, okay?

00:56:57I mean, this is going to take like a week.

00:56:58We don't have a week.

00:56:59We have a client waiting on us.

00:57:00We have to get these parts machined now.

00:57:03Is there anything else you can do, please?

00:57:06I mean, we might have a solution.

00:57:09It's just the pay that you're offering, though.

00:57:12$2,000 for an eight-hour workday?

00:57:14Then...

00:57:15It just needs a reset.

00:57:17They're asking for even more.

00:57:18Ah.

00:57:20Mr. Pierre and Mr. Espan, money is not an issue.

00:57:23I will give you $2 million each for your work here today.

00:57:25And if all goes well, there will be a little bonus in it for you both as well.

00:57:29Okay.

00:57:29All right, well, don't worry about it good-looking.

00:57:31All right, fixing machines.

00:57:32That's our job.

00:57:33It's a very tough and thankless and very, very difficult job,

00:57:37but we'll get it up and running for you.

00:57:39I can't believe they just scammed that poor girl.

00:57:42And then you're going to twist it the other way?

00:57:44Get in there.

00:57:45See?

00:57:46Our new AI tool has a solution for everything.

00:57:49Whoa!

00:57:50Whoa!

00:57:51Whoa!

00:57:52Whoa!

00:57:53Whoa!

00:57:53Step 37, that's what it said!

00:57:55Jeez, this isn't ever happening when Hank was around.

00:57:58Shut up!

00:57:59I really fuck up by firing those old-timers.

00:58:02I'm not going to have to bring Hank back on board, am I?

00:58:07What?

00:58:08Apex AI's tech experts are over at Mach 15?

00:58:12Oh, perfect.

00:58:13Those guys are a golden ticket to fixing this machine.

00:58:16I'll head over right now.

00:58:24Alrighty.

00:58:25Fire it up.

00:58:29So?

00:58:31Not yet.

00:58:33You can't.

00:58:35You've got to reset the machine first.

00:58:37Otherwise, you'll be operating under the faulty presets.

00:58:40You're leading this machine down a one-way path to catastrophic failure.

00:58:44Okay, I'm sorry.

00:58:45Who the fuck is this guy?

00:58:46Go back, get your scrap, get out of here.

00:58:49Okay?

00:58:49You're distracting us from this billion-dollar machine here.

00:58:53It's an easy fix.

00:58:55But I bet you two knew that, didn't you?

00:58:57You talked it up to her so you could get that extra pay.

00:59:00What are you talking about?

00:59:02Wow.

00:59:02You know what, Ms. Evelyn, can you get your guys to get him out of here?

00:59:05Okay, he's distracting us from working.

00:59:07Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to step back, please.

00:59:09We have plenty of scrap metal, and I'd be happy to help you get it.

00:59:12Miss, miss, forget the scrap metal.

00:59:14If you give me ten minutes with this machine, I will tell you exactly what's wrong with it.

00:59:18And I'll fix it for you, free of charge.

00:59:21Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:59:21Okay, so you're saying you can fix this in ten minutes?

00:59:25We're two of the best mechanics in the world armed with a brand spanking new AI detection system.

00:59:29Now, if we can't pull this off in ten minutes, what's a scruffy old fart like you going to do?

00:59:33You may have your fancy AI, but these machines, they were built by people, and they're meant to be maintenance by people.

00:59:40I've been in this industry for 40 years.

00:59:43Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

00:59:44You need somebody like Hank Walker.

00:59:46Ms. Wolfe said he's a genius car mechanic, and he would know how to fix this.

00:59:50That's me.

00:59:58Breaking news.

01:00:00A Webster motor car with faulty brakes caused a deadly explosion, killing three college students.

01:00:04As the company's silence raises questions about accountability, authorities are investigating.

01:00:09God damn it!

01:00:11Do you see this?

01:00:12They're calling our car a burning coffin.

01:00:14They act like we killed those kids ourselves.

01:00:16We need to figure out why the door jammed or Webster's going belly under.

01:00:19Hear you, but we've already dropped a hundred K on diagnostic tests alone, and nothing not up.

01:00:25I don't want to hear your excuses.

01:00:27You're a goddamn Ivy League graduate.

01:00:29I pay you $200,000 a year, either figure it out or find a new job.

01:00:34And what the hell do you think you're doing?

01:00:37Tinkering around.

01:00:38You have to run a whole AI diagnostic system, and you're over here fiddling.

01:00:42With all due respect, Mr. Russell, I know the Webster Corsair, like the back of my hand.

01:00:47I designed this car back in the day.

01:00:49I'll figure out what's wrong with it.

01:00:50We have a million-dollar AI diagnostic system.

01:00:52We can't turn up anything.

01:00:53But you're going to figure it out with a $5 wrench?

01:00:56Well, fancy gadgets and high-minded degrees can be important, but sometimes what you need is plain old experience.

01:01:03You know what?

01:01:04Go ahead.

01:01:05I have nothing to lose.

01:01:05But if anything goes wrong, it's on your ass.

01:01:08Don't worry.

01:01:09I won't mess this up.

01:01:11Let's go.

01:01:11Since I'm this fire, I will sense all this deep desire.

01:01:26Found it.

01:01:30See that?

01:01:31From a shirt.

01:01:32Car owner must have made a legal modification, snagged down the thread during the installation, and jammed the latch during impact.

01:01:39Webster's not at fault.

01:01:41You saved the company a few million, buddy.

01:01:43Let's go show the boss.

01:01:44You are embarrassing me, and you're embarrassing yourself.

01:01:47I think I found the problem.

01:01:51Ah, you old son of a bitch.

01:01:53You did it.

01:01:54All right.

01:01:54I'm going to go to the press, tell the board all the good news.

01:01:57You're a hero at Webster Motor.

01:02:04Attention, everyone.

01:02:05This concludes today's shift.

01:02:07Please shut down your stations and clock out.

01:02:09Drive safe, and we'll see you tomorrow.

01:02:14Oh, Mr. Walker, can I have a word?

01:02:20Oh, of course.

01:02:29Um, this is a car my nephew got from his grandmother.

01:02:33It's a collector's item, which means it's one of a kind, and you're the only one I trust to fix it.

01:02:38It's funny, last week it was a plane.

01:02:40This week it's a car.

01:02:41Your nephew sure likes to break things, huh?

01:02:45They're some messy teenagers.

01:02:47Tell me about it.

01:02:48My daughter was the same way.

01:02:50I can have her back to you tomorrow.

01:02:52Great.

01:02:53Is your payment 100k?

01:02:57Miss Wolf, it's an easy fix.

01:02:59You don't have to pay me.

01:03:02Good to see you.

01:03:03Oh, Hank, wait.

01:03:07Hank, wait.

01:03:08Wait.

01:03:11I'll be straight with you.

01:03:13Okay, you've been at Webster for 40 years.

01:03:16You know cars.

01:03:17You're one of the best engineers in the world.

01:03:20But they treat you worse than the mechanics that work for an hourly rate.

01:03:24Why don't you come work for me at Mach 15?

01:03:27We're developing a new supercar.

01:03:29Silver Lynx Model A, and I want you to be in charge.

01:03:31The starting pay is $10 million.

01:03:33That's a lot of money.

01:03:36But you said so yourself, Miss Wolf.

01:03:40I've been with Webster Motors for 40 years.

01:03:43And any time I have remaining, I just assume it be with them.

01:03:47Old mucks like me, we're the backbone of Detroit's industry.

01:03:50And you got a good job on your hands.

01:03:52And you should give it to a youngster.

01:03:54As for me, just stick to toy cars.

01:03:57Hey, look who's early.

01:04:05Hey, how you doing, man?

01:04:07Good.

01:04:07Oh, hey.

01:04:09Tom Norris.

01:04:11You reckon he's here to give us a bonus?

01:04:14I doubt it.

01:04:16Move.

01:04:16Move, move, move, move.

01:04:18All right, all right.

01:04:18Hey, listen up.

01:04:20I have an announcement.

01:04:22Webster Motors has gone through a change of hands.

01:04:24We've been purchased by Tesalux.

01:04:30Yes, that Tesalux, the EV car company.

01:04:33Sir, a big man upstairs, now some guy named Elon.

01:04:37Tesalux is a tech company.

01:04:40Big emphasis on tech.

01:04:42So all you boomers, you're fired.

01:04:47You're fired.

01:04:49What?

01:04:50Wait, what?

01:04:51Wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:04:52We're all fired.

01:04:55That can't be right.

01:04:56Oh, you need me to spell it out for you?

01:04:58Fine.

01:04:59Webster Motors has purchased a cutting-edge AI detection system from Apex AI for over 10 billion.

01:05:07And let me tell you, this software makes all of you has-been boomers look like a bunch of fucking amateurs.

01:05:13It'll do more for this company in 10 minutes than you could do in 10 years.

01:05:19So, go home.

01:05:21Wait for death to come knocking.

01:05:22Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:05:24Now, hold on.

01:05:25That ain't right.

01:05:27Look, we are the backbone of Webster Motors, right?

01:05:30We built this company up from the ground.

01:05:33Hell, some of us were here before Webster was.

01:05:34You can't just let us go.

01:05:36That is as workplace discrimination, right, boys?

01:05:39Yeah, right.

01:05:40We're gonna fucking sue you.

01:05:41Well, it's not ageism if you're just bad.

01:05:44We're a tech company now.

01:05:46We need computer people who write AI that does what you do, but they do it better and faster.

01:05:52Face it.

01:05:53This is the 21st century.

01:05:55Everything is fast and digital.

01:05:57It's time for you washed-up old farts to pack your little backs and fuck off.

01:06:02Because like it or not, you've been replaced.

01:06:04I might not know anything about AI, but I do know one thing.

01:06:08These machines here, they're finicky.

01:06:11And unless real people are monitoring the assembly line at all times,

01:06:14it's only a matter of time before something goes boom.

01:06:18And all production stops.

01:06:20That's right.

01:06:21What do you mean everything goes boom?

01:06:24I've worked here for 40 years.

01:06:27I know these machines.

01:06:28They need to be checked on and resurviced.

01:06:30Otherwise, you're gonna lose billions.

01:06:32Oh, okay.

01:06:34So you're saying the reason that I can't fire you old farts

01:06:40is because I need someone to watch the machine all day or it's gonna go boom?

01:06:43Yeah, that's right.

01:06:44And you better make sure they have the experience to know what they're looking for.

01:06:47Oh, holy fuck.

01:06:50You're a real fucking shameless one, you know.

01:06:52I know you won't be able to get another job,

01:06:54but that doesn't mean you can make shit up either.

01:06:56I'm not making anything up.

01:06:58I'm telling you how it is based on my experience.

01:07:01All right.

01:07:01Old man, I gotta go, all right?

01:07:04But don't think you're anything special because of yesterday.

01:07:07I downloaded the source code from the diagnostic test myself,

01:07:09and that car was perfectly fine.

01:07:12You lucked out with that screw.

01:07:14So all you need to do is go back and rot in hospice.

01:07:18No, no, no, no, how dare you?

01:07:20How dare you?

01:07:21We built this city with our own hands.

01:07:23We are the ones that brought industry to Detroit.

01:07:25Yeah.

01:07:26We did all that hard labor so kids like you could go run off to college.

01:07:30And now this is how you're gonna treat us?

01:07:32Shut up.

01:07:32Right?

01:07:33Shut up.

01:07:34You disgusting old fucking hicks.

01:07:37Or I'll call the cops as if now you're fired.

01:07:40So this is trespassing.

01:07:42Tom, you need to tell the assembly line supers about the maintenance.

01:07:47If something happens to one of these machines, it's gonna cost Webster millions.

01:07:51And it's a safety hazard.

01:07:52I do not give a fuck about your experience.

01:07:55That is all subjective bullshit.

01:07:57We have the cold, hard facts right here.

01:08:00Our new AI detection system will be fully operational in a few short days.

01:08:05You really think it can't handle a few finicky machines?

01:08:08It'll have them back in tip-top shape before you old schmucks need to get your gloves on.

01:08:13Now hurry up and scram or you can forget about your final fucking paycheck.

01:08:23It's all right.

01:08:24It's all right.

01:08:24Let it go, okay?

01:08:25Look, you warned him plenty about the assembly line, huh?

01:08:28It's his own fault now if you won't listen.

01:08:31Come on, fellas.

01:08:32Let's go.

01:08:32Let's get out of here.

01:08:34Guy's a creep.

01:08:35What do you mean you can't fix it?

01:08:37I pay you millions of dollars for what?

01:08:39Mach 15 is on the line and if you can't fix it-

01:08:41Miss Wolfe, Miss Wolfe.

01:08:42Can't you see that I'm on the phone?

01:08:44Webster Motors just fired that old car mechanic who told me to keep an eye on.

01:08:49I'll call you back.

01:08:50They fired Hank Walker?

01:08:53Evelyn, I need you to find him.

01:08:55Our CNC mills just suffered a critical error and he's the only one that can fix it.

01:08:59Make sure he gets here, okay?

01:09:00We need him.

01:09:01Got it, boss.

01:09:01I'll offer him a job.

01:09:03What's the pay ceiling?

01:09:04There's no ceiling.

01:09:06We're paying him whatever he wants.

01:09:09I'll have you, Hank.

01:09:11Hey, I'll catch up with you, Hank.

01:09:16Hi, I'm looking for a Mr. Walker.

01:09:18Oh, Hank?

01:09:18Yeah, he just missed him.

01:09:20He went to go see his daughter.

01:09:21Grandpa!

01:09:24Grandpa!

01:09:30Grandpa, I missed you so much.

01:09:32I didn't even get to play with you all.

01:09:34I was so holy.

01:09:35I know, kiddo.

01:09:36Your grandpa was busy at work.

01:09:38But I'm going to have a lot more time now.

01:09:41I can come over every day if you want.

01:09:42Yeah.

01:09:42Yeah?

01:09:44Ah!

01:09:45Oh, you're getting strong.

01:09:47Dad.

01:09:48Shouldn't you be at work?

01:09:50I'm actually not going to be working there anymore.

01:09:53Webster laid me off.

01:09:55You got fired?

01:09:57Fuck.

01:09:59What are we going to do about the mortgage now?

01:10:01Mortgage?

01:10:02What are you talking about?

01:10:03The mortgage for this house, you stupid old fuck.

01:10:06Penn and I have been using your paycheck to pay off the mortgage.

01:10:09What are we going to do now?

01:10:10They're going to foreclose on us.

01:10:11Jesse, I've been giving you my paycheck since you and Helen got married.

01:10:15Why isn't the mortgage paid off yet?

01:10:18Because a whole year's worth of your salary didn't even last me a single night in Vegas.

01:10:23So you were gambling it?

01:10:25I bust my back 10 hours a day and what?

01:10:29You gambled it all away in one night on craps?

01:10:31Poker?

01:10:32I can't believe you two.

01:10:34All right?

01:10:34I've given everything for you guys.

01:10:36I stopped drinking coffee for you, all right?

01:10:38I barely scrape by on $300 a month.

01:10:41And you flush it down the drain gambling?

01:10:45Look, old man, I don't care.

01:10:47But Helen and I need the money to pay off the mortgage.

01:10:50And until you get another job, I want you to stay away from Audrey.

01:10:54No, Grandpa!

01:10:57What's gotten into you, Jesse?

01:11:00I'm near retirement, okay?

01:11:03What's an old man like me supposed to do?

01:11:06You and Helen and little Audrey, you guys are all that I have.

01:11:10I just want to see this little girl grow up, okay?

01:11:13Please.

01:11:14I already lost my wife.

01:11:16Don't talk about my mom.

01:11:17If you weren't so stubborn, if you would have just left Detroit when you had the chance,

01:11:22she would have had better insurance coverage and not die.

01:11:26I would be in a better place, too.

01:11:28And now we're all stuck in this hellhole because of you.

01:11:35You're useless.

01:11:36My buddy, Tom Norris, got promoted to senior engineer in a year.

01:11:41You've been there for decades.

01:11:43And you're still just some low-level mechanic.

01:11:46Now get out and stay away from Audrey.

01:11:50Grandpa!

01:11:51Grandpa!

01:11:52You want to see Audrey again?

01:11:54Who brings a nice, fat paycheck?

01:11:57Jesse's right.

01:11:58Get a job.

01:11:59You owe that to us.

01:12:00Now go dumpster dive if you have to.

01:12:02Grandpa!

01:12:04Grandpa!

01:12:05I just didn't want to give up on my city.

01:12:11Is that so wrong?

01:12:16Ew.

01:12:17Oh, look at that stinky hobo.

01:12:19Let's cross the street before he gets all his germs on us.

01:12:22Webster still hasn't given us our last paycheck.

01:12:33And I haven't eaten since last night.

01:12:46Guess this will have to be my dinner.

01:12:47Holy shit.

01:12:57Hank Walker.

01:12:59The rock star engineer behind our 1987 Webster Corsair.

01:13:03What are you doing?

01:13:04Eating out of a dumpster.

01:13:06Tom, you know this guy.

01:13:07Yeah.

01:13:08Fired him yesterday.

01:13:10He's a piece of shit mechanic who wouldn't stop going on about,

01:13:12No, the assembly line's going to explode.

01:13:15So I got rid of him.

01:13:17No laughing matter, Tom.

01:13:19I'm serious.

01:13:20If you're not careful, that whole assembly line is going to malfunction.

01:13:23Oh, fuck, man.

01:13:24Still stuck on that?

01:13:26That is bullshit.

01:13:28Hank Walker.

01:13:29Sir, they may have kept you around for 40 years because they're dumb.

01:13:32But I know you're nothing special.

01:13:35If you were anything like me, you'd at least be a manager.

01:13:37Well, they did ask me.

01:13:39But I turned them down.

01:13:41Because I want to work with cars.

01:13:43That's what I do best.

01:13:44And I don't need some empty title.

01:13:46But Tom, you have got to listen to me, okay?

01:13:49Have your guys watch the line.

01:13:51Otherwise, it's going to cost Webster millions.

01:13:52What a joke.

01:13:53Look, I can't with you.

01:13:56Look, this is our newest software.

01:13:59All the lights are green.

01:14:01Green means good.

01:14:03See?

01:14:04Nothing can possibly go wrong.

01:14:07Warning, malfunction detected.

01:14:09Initiating emergency stop protocol.

01:14:13No way this bastard got it right.

01:14:17What the hell happened here?

01:14:19The machine, it's smoking.

01:14:21I don't know.

01:14:22It shouldn't be doing that.

01:14:24We're following the exact same procedures we've always done.

01:14:26Well, it is.

01:14:27Look at it.

01:14:28If this machine goes down, we're going to have to shut down the whole plant.

01:14:33We're going to lose millions of dollars.

01:14:36Norris, I don't care what you do.

01:14:38Fix it by the end of the day or you're done.

01:14:46What are you just standing there for?

01:14:48Fix it.

01:14:48Um, well, Tom, the thing is, we don't know what the problem is.

01:14:52We don't know what's wrong.

01:14:54What do you mean?

01:14:54Didn't you go to college for this fucking shit?

01:14:57We just used to do what the older guys and Hank would do.

01:14:59They would diagnose it and they would solve it.

01:15:02Fuck!

01:15:03I'm so fucking sick of this fucking Hank guy.

01:15:07Yeah?

01:15:07What do you want me to do?

01:15:08You want me to go back and bring back those old fossils that I just fucking fired?

01:15:12Fuck off!

01:15:13This whole plant isn't going to suddenly cease to function because a few wrinkly old farts got laid off.

01:15:19That's bullshit.

01:15:20Now fucking fix it!

01:15:21Faster!

01:15:22Faster!

01:15:22Miss Wolfe, I just don't see why we need a mechanic like Hank Walker right now.

01:15:30Don't we already have an expert from Apex AI working on the CNC machine mill?

01:15:34We already lost one full production line.

01:15:37If we lose another, that could mean hundreds of millions of dollars of loss and profits.

01:15:41Look, you keep an eye on the factory and I will go find Hank because he's the only one I trust to fix this.

01:15:46There will never be a replacement for good, old-fashioned human ingenuity.

01:15:50Machines and humans can work together to create the most efficient outcome.

01:15:54But a machine will never replace a human.

01:16:07Getting scrapped, sir?

01:16:08You know it.

01:16:09We still have a lot of material that we need to get rid of.

01:16:12If you can carry it, it's all yours.

01:16:16Sir, there must be something you can do.

01:16:18We need to fix this now.

01:16:19Well, luckily, you came to the right place.

01:16:21I mean, we here at Apex AI know exactly what we're doing.

01:16:24We can handle stuff like this in our sleep.

01:16:27So we're just going to have our diagnostics run on it, figure out a problem, and boom.

01:16:31Bob's your uncle.

01:16:32So this is Apex AI's new detection software?

01:16:35It looks brilliant.

01:16:39Jesus lady.

01:16:40I mean, what did you do to this thing?

01:16:42This is a critical failure.

01:16:43Is there any way you can get it fixed by the end of the day?

01:16:45We need to have production back on schedule or my boss is going to kill me.

01:16:49I know that machine.

01:16:51The reading is off simply because the sensor skips without a manual check.

01:16:54I mean, this is not a job that you can finish in a day, okay?

01:16:57I mean, this is going to take like a week.

01:16:58We don't have a week.

01:16:59We have a client waiting on us.

01:17:00We have to get these parts machined now.

01:17:02Is there anything else you can do, please?

01:17:04I mean, we might have a solution.

01:17:09It's just the pay that you're offering, though.

01:17:11$2,000 for an eight-hour workday?

01:17:13Then...

01:17:14It just needs a reset.

01:17:16They're asking for even more.

01:17:18Ah.

01:17:20Mr. Pierre and Mr. Esteban, money is not an issue.

01:17:22I will give you $2 million each for your work here today.

01:17:25And if all goes well, there will be a little bonus in it for you both as well.

01:17:28Okay.

01:17:29All right, well, don't worry about it good-looking.

01:17:30All right, fixing machines?

01:17:32That's our job.

01:17:32It's a very tough and thankless and very, very difficult job, but we'll get it up and

01:17:37run it for you.

01:17:38I can't believe they just scammed that poor girl.

01:17:42And then you're going to twist it the other way?

01:17:44Get in there.

01:17:45See?

01:17:46Our new AI tool has a solution for everything.

01:17:49Whoa.

01:17:52Well, step 37, that's what it said.

01:17:55Jeez, this isn't ever happening when Hank was around.

01:17:57Shut up!

01:17:58Do I really fuck up by firing those old-timers?

01:18:01I'm not going to have to bring Hank back on board, am I?

01:18:07What?

01:18:08Apex AI's tech experts are over at Mach 15?

01:18:11Oh, perfect.

01:18:12Those guys are a golden ticket to fixing this machine.

01:18:15I'll head over right now.

01:18:16No.

01:18:23All righty.

01:18:25Fire it up.

01:18:28So?

01:18:28Not yet.

01:18:33You can't.

01:18:34You got to reset the machine first.

01:18:36Otherwise, you'll be operating under the faulty presets.

01:18:40You're leading this machine down a one-way path to catastrophic failure.

01:18:44Okay, I'm sorry.

01:18:44Who the fuck is this guy?

01:18:46Go back.

01:18:46Get your scrap.

01:18:47Get out of here.

01:18:48Okay?

01:18:48You're distracting us from this billion-dollar machine here.

01:18:53It's an easy fix.

01:18:55But I bet you two knew that, didn't you?

01:18:57You talked it up to her so you could get that extra pay.

01:19:00What are you talking about?

01:19:01Wow.

01:19:01You know what, Ms. Evelyn?

01:19:02Can you get your guys to get him out of here?

01:19:04Okay, he's distracting us from working.

01:19:07Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to step back, please.

01:19:09We have plenty of scrap metal, and I'd be happy to help you get it.

01:19:11Miss, miss, forget the scrap metal.

01:19:13If you give me 10 minutes with this machine, I will tell you exactly what's wrong with it.

01:19:18And I'll fix it for you, free of charge.

01:19:20Whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:19:21Okay, so you're saying you can fix this in 10 minutes.

01:19:24We're two of the best mechanics in the world armed with a brand spanking new AI detection system.

01:19:29Now, if we can't pull this off in 10 minutes, what's a scruffy old fart like you're going to do?

01:19:32You may have your fancy AI, but these machines, they were built by people,

01:19:38and they're meant to be maintenance by people.

01:19:39I've been in this industry for 40 years.

01:19:42Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

01:19:44You need somebody like Hank Walker.

01:19:46Miss Wolfe said he's a genius car mechanic, and he would know how to fix this.

01:19:54That's me.
