00:00:04In the critical days before IPO, after I poured three years of blood and sweat into building this company from
00:00:11scratch, I'm standing in an all-hands meeting getting fucked over by an intern.
00:00:21President Gray, I'd like to file a formal complaint. Veronica has been blatantly abusing her authority as vice president.
00:00:30You use the corporate jet like your private party bus. That Gulfstream is meant to impress top investors, not your
00:00:37little socialette friends.
00:00:40While the rest of us are busting asses for this firm, you're up there playing celebrity at 30,000 feet.
00:00:46What do you have to say for yourself?
00:00:49What this idiot doesn't know is that the Gulfstream is mine. I loaned it to the company three years ago.
00:00:56What the hell are you laughing at?
00:00:59Rebecca, maybe you should explain to the office Sherlock who that jet actually belongs to before she starts dusting the
00:01:05room for fingerprints.
00:01:08Rebecca is my best friend.
00:01:10Three years ago she was drowning in debt and this firm was hanging by a thread.
00:01:15I was the one who saved both.
00:01:23Ronnie, I screwed up. I put every dollar I had into this company.
00:01:29The loan sharks said they're taking my fingers next.
00:01:33Please, you're the only one who can help me.
00:01:38Look at me. We're sisters. I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you.
00:01:45Pay off your debt. Don't worry about paying me back.
00:01:50No.
00:01:53I won't take charity.
00:01:55From this day on, we're partners.
00:01:5750-50.
00:02:01When we started pitching investors, Wall Street laughed us out of the room.
00:02:07So when I bought my first private jet, I let Rebecca use it to make us look legit.
00:02:16Go pick up our investors in style.
00:02:18We may be small, but no one can say we look cheap.
00:02:24Explain these flight logs.
00:02:26President Gray, Veronica's been using the jet non-stop like her toy.
00:02:30The engine's taken a beating and the company's putting insane hargaphies and maintenance costs.
00:02:35We're about to go public.
00:02:36If SEC sees this kind of executive asset abuse, our entire listing could collapse.
00:02:41We have to terminate her immediately.
00:02:47Everything came out of my pocket.
00:02:49I didn't cost this company a cent.
00:02:51If anything, I helped it fake success long enough to become successful.
00:02:57Rebecca, tell her.
00:03:04Vernonica!
00:03:05I can't believe you'd sink this low.
00:03:10Excuse me?
00:03:11This company has compliance rules.
00:03:13I don't care if you're a founder.
00:03:14Nobody gets special treatment.
00:03:17Wow.
00:03:19Look at you now.
00:03:22Ronnie.
00:03:22I screwed up.
00:03:24Again.
00:03:25The firm's about to go under because of me.
00:03:27I'm sorry.
00:03:28I'm sorry.
00:03:29I let you down.
00:03:31Hey.
00:03:32It's just money.
00:03:33We'll make more.
00:03:34I'll mortgage the jet if I have to.
00:03:37Ronnie.
00:03:40Nobody's ever believed in me the way you do.
00:03:44One day, when we're ringing that opening bell, I'm buying you the best jet on the market.
00:03:49We'll fly around the world together.
00:03:56Oh my god!
00:03:58We did it!
00:03:59We freaking did it!
00:04:14Promise me something.
00:04:16No matter how big this thing gets, it's always going to be you and me against the world.
00:04:21Deal.
00:04:23Sisters for life.
00:04:24And partners too.
00:04:25Don't forget partners.
00:04:33Fine.
00:04:34Rebecca wants to play dumb.
00:04:35But what about the rest of you?
00:04:37You all know exactly where that jet came from.
00:04:42Funny.
00:04:43When the company was drowning, I was everyone's hero.
00:04:46Now Rebecca turns on me and suddenly everybody develops amnesia.
00:04:51President Gray, to make sure nothing like this happens again, we should put the jet under administrative control.
00:04:57No one gets access without approval.
00:04:59That's a great idea, Ava.
00:05:00If we are serious about becoming a world-class company, we need real structure.
00:05:05Veronica, please hand over the jet access codes.
00:05:08That's not enough, considering how severe this abuse was.
00:05:13Veronica should apologize publicly in front of the entire company!
00:05:22One bitch wants a power trip, the other wants my jet.
00:05:26Fine.
00:05:28Let's see if you can survive the consequences.
00:05:36Veronica, what are you doing?
00:05:38Are you trying to cause a scene?
00:05:40This is Rebecca's company, not yours!
00:05:48Wouldn't dream of forgetting that.
00:05:49That's better. A VP is still just an employee.
00:05:52Rebecca calls all the shots.
00:05:54It's about time you knew your place.
00:05:58Veronica, I know this doesn't feel fair.
00:06:00But we're on the verge of an IPO.
00:06:03Sacrifices have to be made.
00:06:04We're sisters.
00:06:05I'd never hurt you.
00:06:11They stole my jet and think they're still going public?
00:06:15That's cute.
00:06:24Can you believe her?
00:06:25Strutting around like she's above everyone.
00:06:27Meanwhile, she's been stealing from the firm.
00:06:29Sucking us dry just to impress her rich friends.
00:06:31It's disgusting.
00:06:32Rebecca is too kind.
00:06:34If it were me, security would have tossed this leech out on her ass already.
00:06:37Three years of carrying this firm on my back.
00:06:40And now they call me a leech.
00:06:46Veronica, according to estimate, you owe the firm $128,000.
00:06:51Hangar fees, fuel, cleaning.
00:06:54You even want me to reimburse the flight through salaries?
00:06:58You're the one who treated the company jet like a personal VIP pass.
00:07:01Don't be surprised when the bills got your name on it.
00:07:04You had your fun.
00:07:05Now, pay up like a big girl.
00:07:08Do you know who paid the hangar fees, insurance premiums, and crew salaries for the past three years?
00:07:14It's a company jet.
00:07:15Who do you think paid for it?
00:07:16The company.
00:07:18Duh.
00:07:19Interesting.
00:07:20Then why aren't there any invoices or payment records in the company books?
00:07:25Because I just took over.
00:07:27I haven't finished auditing everything yet.
00:07:29I'll find the records later.
00:07:31Nice try.
00:07:32Now stop changing the subject and pay what you owe.
00:07:34You could tear this office apart brick by brick and still wouldn't find those records.
00:07:40What the hell is that supposed to mean?
00:07:47It means the firm didn't pay a single cent.
00:07:50Every invoice for that jet over the last three years is right here.
00:07:53I paid everything myself from my personal account.
00:07:57So what? You're the one using the jet.
00:07:59Who else was supposed to pay?
00:08:00And you still owe the firm for using it.
00:08:04Then let me ask you one more question.
00:08:06Do you know who brought that jet into the firm three years ago?
00:08:09I don't know.
00:08:10And I don't care.
00:08:11It's registered under the company now.
00:08:13And Rebecca said if you don't pay up, we're dacking your bonus.
00:08:18Rebecca again.
00:08:19Oh, and one more thing.
00:08:21Rebecca has officially made me the jet administrator.
00:08:24From now on, you want to fly?
00:08:26You submit a request to me.
00:08:27If I approve it, you fly.
00:08:29But if I don't, you stay on the damn ground.
00:08:33Let me get this straight.
00:08:35I'm the vice president, but I need a hall pass from a three-month intern to use my jet?
00:08:41What?
00:08:42Rebecca personally ordered it.
00:08:44Don't like it?
00:08:46Take it up with her.
00:08:53Fine.
00:08:54I'll pay.
00:08:55Could have saved us both a lot of time if you just said that from the start.
00:09:03Oh, one more thing.
00:09:05Rebecca's bringing in a major client on Monday.
00:09:07Make sure you clear your personal crap off the jet.
00:09:10Let's not embarrass the firm.
00:09:13Noted.
00:09:25Davis.
00:09:26I need some legal advice.
00:09:28Hypothetically, if someone takes your property, claims it's theirs, and profits off it, what are your options?
00:09:33Cases like that come down to one thing.
00:09:36Proof.
00:09:36As long as you can prove ownership, they'll have to return the property and be liable for any damages.
00:09:41Understood.
00:09:53Ronnie, the company's doing well.
00:09:56We can't keep using your jet for free.
00:09:59Maybe we should just buy it?
00:10:02Silly.
00:10:03What's mine is yours.
00:10:05If it helps the company, that's all that matters.
00:10:09Time really changes people.
00:10:11I gave her everything.
00:10:15Turns out all I did was teach her to take more.
00:10:21It's time to settle up.
00:10:32Veronica!
00:10:33I figured you were busy, so I went ahead and cleaned up for you.
00:10:37I hope that's not a problem.
00:10:42What is this bargain get crap?
00:10:44Toss it all.
00:10:45Replace it with the Levant Rebecca actually drinks.
00:10:49That's Romaine Conti.
00:10:51Allocation only.
00:10:5220 grand a bottle.
00:10:54Every bottle paid for by me.
00:10:56Every bottle poured for the company's clients.
00:10:59Ew, this is giving rich grandma energy.
00:11:01Like aggressively.
00:11:02Rip them out.
00:11:03I want luxury luxury, like Hermes Orange.
00:11:06I want clients to see money.
00:11:12Handcrafted in Italy.
00:11:14Custom aviation leather.
00:11:1650k per seat.
00:11:17And she's ripping them out with a crowbar.
00:11:21Seriously?
00:11:23Why is there church stuff?
00:11:25It's killing the vibe!
00:11:28That was my mother's cross.
00:11:30The only thing she left me.
00:11:32Priceless.
00:11:33Much better.
00:11:34Now it actually looks expensive.
00:11:39Ava, you're about to find out how expensive ignorance can get.
00:11:43Oh, right.
00:11:44On one more thing.
00:11:45Management's decided to suspend you as vice president.
00:11:48It takes them to think about what you've done.
00:11:50And start preparing your handover.
00:11:52Oh?
00:11:52A handover?
00:11:54To who?
00:11:55Me, obviously.
00:11:56Rebecca's promoting me to director of operations.
00:11:59I guess exposing corruption really pays off.
00:12:02You?
00:12:03The intern whose HR paperwork is still pending?
00:12:06So what?
00:12:07Rebecca made the call herself.
00:12:08You got problem with it?
00:12:09Take it up with her!
00:12:10Fair enough.
00:12:11Congratulations, Ava.
00:12:13I mean, director Stutton.
00:12:15Now you're getting it!
00:12:16Clear out your office.
00:12:17I'm moving in this afternoon.
00:12:24Why are you still here?
00:12:25This office is mine now.
00:12:27Can you try not to get in the way?
00:12:28Some of us actually have work to do.
00:12:32Oops.
00:12:32Guess my hand slipped.
00:12:34Then again, you're suspended.
00:12:36It's not like you'll be needing any of this stuff anymore.
00:12:40By all means, take the chair.
00:12:43Let's see if you can fill it.
00:12:52Wait!
00:12:53Yes, director Stutton.
00:12:55Need something else?
00:12:56I want everything you've got on Victor Sturton.
00:13:01Veronica, I admire people who stand behind their word.
00:13:04I'm impressed.
00:13:05I'd be happy to do business with your firm.
00:13:07Victorie's our biggest client.
00:13:09I've spent months winning him over.
00:13:11In the end, that jet helped close the deal.
00:13:13Everything's in the database.
00:13:15Knock yourself out.
00:13:15I don't give a shit about what's in the database.
00:13:18I want the real intel.
00:13:19What does he like?
00:13:20What does he drink?
00:13:21What gets him to sign?
00:13:23And why exactly would I tell you that, Veronica?
00:13:26If we lose our biggest client because you bobbed the handover, you'll be responsible for the damages.
00:13:32Actually, no.
00:13:33You suspended me.
00:13:34As far as this company's concerned, I don't work here anymore.
00:13:38Whatever happens next isn't my problem.
00:13:41Also, you're qualified enough to steal my job.
00:13:43You should be capable enough to keep my clients.
00:13:46I've got somewhere to be.
00:13:47Good luck.
00:13:48You're gonna need it.
00:13:52Keep talking, bitch.
00:13:54You act like Victor only says yes to you.
00:13:56The minute I land this deal, you're finished!
00:14:02Ms. Belton, welcome back.
00:14:04What can we do for you today?
00:14:05I want maximum security installed on my aircraft.
00:14:07Starting today, nobody flies it without my fingerprint and authorization from my phone.
00:14:11I want full control routed to my device.
00:14:13Of course.
00:14:14As the registered owner, that's entirely your right.
00:14:17We'll start immediately.
00:14:18Perfect.
00:14:22Veronica?
00:14:23Shouldn't you be at home reflecting on your behavior?
00:14:26What are you doing here?
00:14:28Oh, please.
00:14:29Don't tell me you're trying to steal the jet again.
00:14:32Honestly, Veronica, do you have any shame?
00:14:35This is company property!
00:14:38It's a work day.
00:14:40I'm working.
00:14:42So you're using it for a business trip?
00:14:45Didn't I make myself clear?
00:14:46Nobody uses company aircraft without my permission.
00:14:51It wouldn't matter anyway.
00:14:53The jet's booked.
00:14:54Rebecca and I are taking the jet to Chicago for a deal.
00:14:57Veronica, if you really need to travel for business, just book a coach flight.
00:15:01We'll reimburse the ticket as a courtesy.
00:15:07Reimburse me?
00:15:10Flying my jet, burning my fuel, closing their deals, and offering to reimburse me for a coach ticket?
00:15:17The audacity is almost impressive.
00:15:22Hello, this is Veronica Belton.
00:15:25My credit card has been compromised.
00:15:27Freeze the account immediately.
00:15:31Oh?
00:15:35You're right on time.
00:15:42Now?
00:15:43No.
00:15:43That's too easy.
00:15:45If I'm going to ground them, I'll do it when they think they've won.
00:15:57Veronica!
00:15:58What the hell is wrong with you?
00:16:00Tom just tried to refuel and found your card declined.
00:16:03Do you have any idea what kind of mess this is causing?
00:16:05Calm down.
00:16:06That's my personal card.
00:16:07The system flagged suspicious activity.
00:16:09Of course I froze it.
00:16:11Victor lands tomorrow.
00:16:12The jet needs to be ready.
00:16:13Unfreeze the card.
00:16:14Now!
00:16:15Banks are closed for the weekend.
00:16:17Earliest I can unfreeze it is Monday.
00:16:19Are you doing this out of spite?
00:16:21I fined you once and suddenly you're sabotaging the firm?
00:16:24If this deal falls apart, that's on you.
00:16:27It's my card.
00:16:28I can freeze it whenever I want.
00:16:30And remind me, why is the company using my credit card?
00:16:33Y-you?
00:16:36I didn't care before.
00:16:37Back when I thought this company was ours.
00:16:40Now I do.
00:16:41Fine, Veronica!
00:16:42You want to play hardball?
00:16:43From now on, don't expect any more favors from the firm!
00:16:47Favors?
00:16:48When have you given me any favors?
00:16:54When Rebecca was struggling, I leased her an entire floor.
00:16:57My father left me at half the market rate.
00:16:59And that lease expired two days ago.
00:17:04You want to bite the hand that fed you?
00:17:06Go ahead.
00:17:07I'll make sure it's the last mistake you ever make.
00:17:12Hi.
00:17:13I'm leasing out the 22nd floor of Manhattan Star Tower.
00:17:17Rent is negotiable.
00:17:19My only condition is simple.
00:17:21Move in within three days with full rent.
00:17:24How dare this bitch hang up on me!
00:17:26I'm the fucking CEO here!
00:17:28President Gray, a woman who throws a fit over a little jet fuel has no place in a firm of
00:17:33this caliber.
00:17:34Once we sign with Victor tomorrow, we'll kick her out for good.
00:17:48Mr. Sterling, please give a little more time.
00:17:51To show how much we value your business, I'm sending our private jet to bring you in personally.
00:17:58Is everything ready?
00:18:00Victor is our biggest investor.
00:18:02Absolutely nothing can go wrong today.
00:18:05I've got you, President Gray.
00:18:06The jet's totally ready to go.
00:18:08And since Mr. Sterling loves the VIP treatment,
00:18:10I've stocked the cabin with top-shelf champagne, gourmet catering.
00:18:14It works.
00:18:15Good.
00:18:17Nothing says success like the $30 million jet waiting on the runway.
00:18:21Victor will be signing before he even lands.
00:18:23President Gray, Ava may be young, but she's already left Veronica in the dust.
00:18:29Absolutely. Ava's the future of this firm.
00:18:32Veronica's way of doing things is ancient history.
00:18:34She was holding the firm back.
00:18:36You guys are giving me way too much credit.
00:18:38Everything I know came from President Gray.
00:18:41Alright, time for Cali. Let's get moving.
00:18:44Yes, ma'am.
00:18:56Get moving?
00:18:57Not unless I allow it.
00:19:03Hello?
00:19:04Miss Belton.
00:19:04I have a client who urgently needed office space.
00:19:07Only catch is he's in debt collection, and his people can be a little rough.
00:19:10Want me to find someone more corporate?
00:19:12Debt collectors? Perfect.
00:19:15I've got some former tenants refusing to leave.
00:19:18If he clears them out today, I'll lease him the floor at half-rent.
00:19:22Absolutely. That's what they do best. I'll send them over now.
00:19:26Debt collectors and Victor showing up at the same time.
00:19:29This should be fine.
00:19:31Rebecca, I'd love to hear how you explain this one.
00:19:55What's going on? Why'd the plane stop?
00:19:57I don't know. The engine just cut out. The control board went dark.
00:20:01Then restart it. What are you standing there for?
00:20:05What the hell is happening?
00:20:08It looks like the system controls are locked.
00:20:13What? Are you idiots breaking my plane?
00:20:16No, ma'am. I did everything by the book. I have no idea why this is happening.
00:20:21For fuck's sake, fix it. If Victor walks, every one of your asses is fired.
00:20:28I've never seen anything like this before. I-I don't know what to do.
00:20:31Of course you don't! Suddenly nobody knows how to do shit!
00:20:35This crap never happened when Veronica was here!
00:20:37Wait! If we get Vice President Belton's master key, we can reactivate the system.
00:20:42Okay, where the damn key?
00:20:44I-it should be with admin?
00:20:46Then why the fuck are you standing here? Go get it!
00:20:49Oh, okay. Right away.
00:20:56Too bad that key is junk now. The entire system's upgraded.
00:21:01Without my command, this jet isn't going anywhere.
00:21:13Here. Try it.
00:21:28Still nothing? Do you even know how to fly this thing?
00:21:31There's nothing I can do, ma'am. The jet's in full lockdown. The key's been disabled.
00:21:35The system says only the registered owner can unlock it with the master code.
00:21:39President Gray! It's the company jet!
00:21:42Surely you're the registered owner? Just punch the code in!
00:21:47I...
00:21:50It's been another hour! Where the hell is my plane? Are you running a business or a circus?
00:21:55Mr. Sterling, my sincerest apologies. We ran into a small technical issue, but it's being handled as we speak.
00:22:00We'll be there shortly.
00:22:05President Gray, Victor's getting impatient. Hurry and enter the code.
00:22:10I don't have it.
00:22:14What? You don't have the code?
00:22:23But this is a company asset. How do you not have the code?
00:22:29Well, Veronica always handled the jet.
00:22:34Veronica, right! Get her! She can unlock it!
00:22:47Veronica! Stop goggling and get over here! Unlock the plane! Now!
00:22:52Unlock? I don't know what you're talking about.
00:22:54Stop playing dumb with me! The jet's locked! It won't move!
00:22:58It won't move? That's terrible!
00:23:01But what does it have to do with me?
00:23:03I'm not a mechanic. You should call maintenance.
00:23:05It's not broken, it's locked! Fix it now!
00:23:08If we miss Victor and lose this deal, I'll personally hold you responsible!
00:23:12That's strange, President Gray, because I distinctly remember you giving Ava full control of the jet.
00:23:17So why am I suddenly being called in to save the day?
00:23:20President Gray already told us you were the one managing the jet!
00:23:23I get it now.
00:23:25You're bitter because I replaced you, so you're trying to sabotage our deal with Victor!
00:23:33Exactly. I'm sabotaging you. What are you gonna do about it?
00:23:40Veronica, you're trying to destroy this firm!
00:23:43You're risking our entire future just to settle a personal grudge!
00:23:47What does the firm have to do with me? I'm suspended, remember?
00:23:51You're the operations director now. If something's gone wrong, that's your problem, not mine.
00:23:56You! Veronica!
00:23:58I'm ordering you. Stop this nonsense and unlock the plane. Right now.
00:24:05And who are you to order me around?
00:24:08I am your boss.
00:24:11Interesting. Since when does being a boss entitle you to my private jet?
00:24:15Oh, please. That's a company jet and everyone knows it! How is it suddenly yours?
00:24:27Do yourself a favor. Open your eyes and read the owner's name.
00:24:44How is this possible?
00:24:53How is this possible?
00:24:55Because it's my jet. I decide when it flies, I decide when it stays grounded.
00:25:01And right now, it's staying right where it is.
00:25:05No. No way. That's impossible! This jet belonged to the company!
00:25:10You forged that document. You had to.
00:25:13Forged? Then go ahead, ask your president.
00:25:17Ask her if she has the guts to stand here and tell everyone that jet belongs to her.
00:25:22Don't push me! I can fire you right here! Right now!
00:25:25That'd be fantastic. I've been dying to get out of this dump.
00:25:29Honestly, you'd be doing me a favor.
00:25:32You... you little...
00:25:33Little!
00:25:44Rebecca, your jet never came. So I took mine.
00:25:48Should I assume you're no longer interested in doing business?
00:25:51Mr. Sterling, I am so sorry. We ran into an unexpected issue with the jet, but everything's under control now.
00:25:58That's not the point. I cleared my schedule and waited over an hour. My time is money, Ms. Gray.
00:26:03Or do you think yours is worth more than mine?
00:26:05No, no, sir! That's not what I meant! If you'd just let me explain...
00:26:09Save it. If it weren't Veronica, I would've walked away already.
00:26:22Ms. Belton! It's been far too long.
00:26:26It's nice to see you too, Victor.
00:26:28Come on. Let's get out of here and talk business.
00:26:30I'm afraid that won't be possible.
00:26:32What do you mean?
00:26:34President Gray fired me a few minutes ago.
00:26:37What?
00:26:41Rebecca, what the hell is this?
00:26:45Veronica's track record is the only reason I was willing to consider this partnership.
00:26:49Mr. Sterling, this is all just a misunderstanding.
00:26:53Where's the misunderstanding?
00:26:54Did she not get fired?
00:26:56Mr. Sterling, Veronica was fired for abusing company privileges.
00:27:00She took the company jet without permission.
00:27:02Permission? Unless I'm mistaken, that gross stream belongs to Ms. Veronica.
00:27:06Mr. Sterling, she's lied to you! That plane is company property!
00:27:09Ava! Shut your mouth!
00:27:17Veronica, explain this to Mr. Sterling.
00:27:21Please don't air our dirty laundry in front of an investor!
00:27:24Wait.
00:27:26That jet actually belonged to Veronica?
00:27:28Now you're worried about appearances?
00:27:31Where was that concern when you humiliated me in front of the entire company?
00:27:34When you let an intern step on me like dirt?
00:27:37Bonnie, we've been friends forever.
00:27:39Please, just do this for me.
00:27:41Friends don't stab each other in the back.
00:27:43As of today, you, me and this company have nothing to do with one another.
00:27:47Rebecca, you've wasted my time.
00:27:50Veronica is the only reason I agreed to work together.
00:27:53Without her, I have no interest in doing business with your firm.
00:27:56Mr. Sterling, please, don't baste you. We can still make this work.
00:28:00We can renegotiate the terms.
00:28:02Veronica lent you her jet for free, and you thanked her by firing her.
00:28:06If that's how you treat your best people, why would I trust you with my money?
00:28:10Veronica, I happen to have a very promising new project.
00:28:13Will you be interested?
00:28:15Mr. Sterling, please, give it another chance.
00:28:20Here's a free piece of advice, Ms. Gray.
00:28:23Character comes before business, and yours is bankrupt.
00:28:31President Gray, we've got problem.
00:28:34A bunch of people just stormed the office.
00:28:35They're tearing the place apart. You need to get back there now.
00:28:37What?
00:28:54What the hell is this?
00:28:57Who let you people in here? Get out, or I'm calling the cops.
00:29:01Ms. Gray, I represent the owner of this property.
00:29:04I've been instructed to turn this floor over to a new tenant.
00:29:07Mr. Jack here will be taking possession today.
00:29:11A new tenant? What the hell are you talking about?
00:29:14This floor belongs to my company!
00:29:16It did, but your lease expired a few days ago.
00:29:18Since it wasn't renewed, you're required to vacate immediately,
00:29:22or we'll proceed with a formal eviction.
00:29:24The lease expired?
00:29:26Why wasn't it renewed?
00:29:28The lease was always handled personally by President Gray.
00:29:32I don't know what happened.
00:29:35President Gray, call the landlord.
00:29:37There has to be some mistake.
00:29:39We're weeks away from going public.
00:29:41We can't lose this office.
00:29:45Ta-da!
00:29:46This entire floor belongs to my family.
00:29:48I'm renting it to the company at half price.
00:29:50Now we can build the business from the heart of Manhattan.
00:29:52Ronnie, you're the best friend anyone could ask for.
00:29:54I promise, once the company takes off, I'll pay back every penny plus interest.
00:29:58Oh, God.
00:29:59I almost forgot.
00:30:01The landlord is Veronica.
00:30:05Rebecca, everyone's telling you to call the landlord.
00:30:09What's taking so long?
00:30:10Veronica!
00:30:12Why are you still here?
00:30:13You were fired!
00:30:15Leave!
00:30:16Now!
00:30:16Watch your tone.
00:30:18Miss Veronica owns this floor.
00:30:19She has every right to be here.
00:30:22What?
00:30:22She's the landlord?
00:30:25No way!
00:30:26Veronica's just an employee.
00:30:28How could she possibly own a floor in a building like this?
00:30:31Maybe you should ask your dear President Gray.
00:30:34You know exactly who owns this floor.
00:30:38You already took our biggest investor.
00:30:41Now you're trying to take our office too?
00:30:43Don't push it!
00:30:44Push it?
00:30:45This floor is mine.
00:30:47I can take it back whenever I want.
00:30:48Or are you about to tell me this building belongs to the company too?
00:30:52You!
00:30:54We've been paying rent on this floor for years!
00:30:56Yes.
00:30:58And your lease expired.
00:31:00Fine. I get it.
00:31:01You want money.
00:31:02We'll renew the lease.
00:31:04Great.
00:31:05That'd be two million a year.
00:31:08Two million?!
00:31:09Have you lost your mind?
00:31:11We were paying one million!
00:31:14You've gotta be kidding me.
00:31:16This is prime Manhattan real estate.
00:31:18Market rates well over three million.
00:31:20Two million is a steal.
00:31:23If you can't afford it, I'll take it.
00:31:25Now pack your shit and get out.
00:31:28No, you can't do this.
00:31:29If we lose this office, where are we supposed to go?
00:31:32We're not leaving!
00:31:34Not leaving?
00:31:35They don't blame my boys for helping you out.
00:31:43Easy, Jack.
00:31:44They're not worth an assault charge.
00:31:45Just to throw their things and escort them out.
00:31:48You got it, Miss Veronica.
00:31:50Start moving!
00:31:55Veronica, if you're angry, take it out on me.
00:31:57Don't punish everyone else.
00:31:59These people have mortgages.
00:32:00Kids.
00:32:01Families depending on them.
00:32:05She's right, Vice President Belton.
00:32:06I have kids.
00:32:07I can't lose my job.
00:32:08We've worked together for years.
00:32:10Please don't do this.
00:32:12Now you care?
00:32:13Where were all of you when Ava was humiliating me?
00:32:15When I was getting thrown under the bus?
00:32:17Nobody said a word then.
00:32:19Veronica, are you trying to ruin me?
00:32:21No.
00:32:22You did that yourself.
00:32:24You tried to steal my jet.
00:32:26You tried to push me out.
00:32:28This is the consequence.
00:32:30You...
00:32:31You bitch!
00:32:33Say whatever you want.
00:32:35I'm not going anywhere.
00:32:36And if anyone lays a finger on me,
00:32:38I'm calling the cops.
00:32:40That's right.
00:32:41We're staying.
00:32:42Let's see what you're gonna do about it.
00:32:43Jesus Christ.
00:32:44I've met some shameless people,
00:32:46but you two are in a league of their own.
00:32:47I ought to teach you a damn less-
00:32:49Not worth getting your hands dirty.
00:32:51She wants to call the cops?
00:32:52I think that's a great idea.
00:32:55Hello, officer.
00:32:56I'd like to report trespassers refusing to leave my property.
00:32:59Could you send someone over?
00:33:05We've reviewed the lease.
00:33:07Miss Gray, your tenancy has expired.
00:33:09Legally, you no longer have the right to occupy this space.
00:33:11Officer, there has to be some misunderstanding.
00:33:13We've been here for years.
00:33:13It doesn't matter how long you've been here, miss.
00:33:15Your lease expired.
00:33:16However, you do have the option to renew if the landlord agrees.
00:33:18Okay, we'll renew.
00:33:19We'll do it right now.
00:33:20Sure.
00:33:21Three million.
00:33:23What?
00:33:23You just said two million.
00:33:25You stressed me out.
00:33:27So the price went up.
00:33:29Officer, are you hearing this?
00:33:31She raises the rent by a million dollars in five minutes.
00:33:35That must be illegal.
00:33:36Miss, it's her property.
00:33:39She can charge whatever she wants.
00:33:42Pay up or get out, lady.
00:33:44Office space in this part of Manhattan is practically impossible to find.
00:33:47If you can't afford it, I'll take it.
00:33:48Who said I can't afford it?
00:33:50I'll pay!
00:33:53Veronica, can't you cut me a little slack after everything we've been through together?
00:33:58You know what?
00:33:58For old time's sake, I'll knock off ten grand.
00:34:02Let's call it 2.99 million.
00:34:04Veronica, this is insane!
00:34:05Maybe.
00:34:07But it's still my building.
00:34:09Get me the money in three days or pack your shit and get the hell out.
00:34:14You.
00:34:15You little.
00:34:16Fine, enjoy this while you can.
00:34:18Trust me, this company will do just fine without you.
00:34:21Then what's the problem?
00:34:22The company's doing so great.
00:34:23Pay me my money.
00:34:24Now.
00:34:26Just wait!
00:34:28You're gonna regret this!
00:34:29Oh, I already do.
00:34:31I regret not realizing sooner that you're nothing but an ungrateful, backstabbing little snake.
00:34:36How dare you talk to President Gray like that?
00:34:38She made you VP, she trusted you, promoted you, stood by you.
00:34:42You're the ungrateful one!
00:34:43Look at that.
00:34:45Such a loyal lapdog.
00:34:47Getting screwed over and still begging for another kick.
00:34:50Three days, Rebecca.
00:34:51That's all you've got.
00:34:57Stone cold bitch!
00:34:59After everything we've been through and she would do this to me?
00:35:01Kick me while I'm down?
00:35:02What do we do now, President?
00:35:04All our cash is tied up in production, we don't have three million.
00:35:06Are we really getting thrown out in three days?
00:35:08Are you seriously asking me?
00:35:10None of this would have happened if you hadn't gone after Veronica and that damn jet.
00:35:16But you were the one who told me someone was abusing the company jet and ordered me investigate.
00:35:21How is this suddenly all my fault?
00:35:23I told you to investigate, not start a war with Veronica.
00:35:27Now our biggest client is gone and we're losing the office and it's all because of you!
00:35:33Fix this mess.
00:35:34Fast.
00:35:35Or start packing your shit and get out!
00:35:50Veronica, this isn't over.
00:35:51Victor isn't the only client in the damn world!
00:36:01Steven, that venture you mentioned, we're very interested.
00:36:05Mr. Butler, hello, Rebecca here.
00:36:07Mr. Chan?
00:36:08Rebecca Gray?
00:36:09Yes, that's right.
00:36:11Any chance you're free for dinner?
00:36:13I'd love to discuss.
00:36:14Our IPO is moving ahead as planned.
00:36:17Perfect.
00:36:18I wanted to follow up on your interest investing.
00:36:21Absolutely.
00:36:22All myself available anytime.
00:36:24See you tonight.
00:36:30As long as I lock down these deals, especially Butler's investment, we'll still go public.
00:36:35And when we do, Veronica, you'll regret ever crossing me.
00:36:44No, no.
00:36:45If Merall collapses, the firm's finished, I can't let that happen.
00:36:50Pathetic.
00:36:51The second things go wrong, she falls apart.
00:36:54Maybe I should just fire her.
00:36:57Then again, why waste a perfectly good asset?
00:37:01I remember Butler has a weakness for young, pretty women.
00:37:04She's dumb as a brick, but she's not hard on the eyes.
00:37:12President Gray, I'm trying to figure something out.
00:37:15Hey.
00:37:16I didn't think the prodigy I handpicked was this fragile.
00:37:20You're not mad at me anymore?
00:37:22Oh, sweetheart.
00:37:23I was never mad at you.
00:37:24I'm just frustrated with the situation that backstabbing bitch Veronica put in.
00:37:32President Gray.
00:37:33Honestly, I admire your integrity.
00:37:35You're brave enough to call out what's wrong, even when nobody else will.
00:37:39That's what makes you so special.
00:37:45Everybody, stop what you're doing and come here for a second.
00:37:49I have two announcements to make.
00:37:51First, about Veronica.
00:37:53That ungrateful snake stabbed this company in the back.
00:37:56She stole our biggest client and tried to squeeze us with a rent hike when we were already under pressure.
00:38:05But here's the good news.
00:38:06We're not sinking just because she jumped chef.
00:38:09I've already lined up meetings with several major clients.
00:38:11If we land these deals, our IPO stays on track.
00:38:14And when that happens, everyone here gets a double bonus.
00:38:20Double bonuses?
00:38:21Really?
00:38:22I knew Rebecca would pull through.
00:38:24To hell with Veronica.
00:38:25Exactly.
00:38:26The company is better off without her.
00:38:28You better believe it's true.
00:38:29I'll be closing these deals myself tonight.
00:38:32Veronica thinks this company rises and falls with her?
00:38:34She's delusional.
00:38:36Now get back to work.
00:38:37We've got an IPO to win.
00:38:40President Gray!
00:38:41President!
00:38:42President!
00:38:43Alright, enough tears.
00:38:44Go freshen up.
00:38:46You're coming with me tonight to meet some big clients.
00:38:47Yes!
00:38:48Of course!
00:38:49Thank you, President Gray.
00:38:51She's taking me to meet clients.
00:38:53I knew she had big plans for me.
00:38:55This is my time to shine.
00:38:59Mr. Jack, thanks for having my back today.
00:39:03Sorry you have to wait a little longer.
00:39:05But I promise, in three days, this floor will be yours.
00:39:07That's what I like to hear.
00:39:09I'll be waiting for the good news, Miss Veronica.
00:39:15Sorry you had to sit through all that, Victor.
00:39:18It's been too long.
00:39:19Let me make it up to you over dinner.
00:39:21Sounds good.
00:39:22Lead the way.
00:39:26That was quite a show today.
00:39:28If you don't mind me saying so,
00:39:30Rebecca's true colors are not flattering.
00:39:32No kidding.
00:39:33It's a shame it took me this long to see them.
00:39:35Better late than never.
00:39:38But I'm curious.
00:39:40If Rebecca somehow comes up with the money in three days,
00:39:42are you really giving her the office back?
00:39:45Well, I own the floor.
00:39:46Whether she stays or goes depends entirely on my mood that day.
00:39:51Veronica, you're playing with her, aren't you?
00:39:53I've never claimed to be a saint.
00:39:55They made my life hell.
00:39:56Now it's my turn to return the Praver.
00:40:01Excuse me, Victor.
00:40:01I need to take this.
00:40:04Ms. Beltam, we've finished gathering the evidence
00:40:07regarding Rebecca's misloose of your assets.
00:40:09Shall we file?
00:40:12Hold off for now.
00:40:14A lawsuit alone is letting them off too easy.
00:40:16What do you have in mind?
00:40:18I'm a bit busy right now.
00:40:19I'll call you later.
00:40:21What is it?
00:40:22Planning another surprise for Rebecca?
00:40:24You could say that.
00:40:25By the time I'm done,
00:40:26Rebecca will regret every decision she's made.
00:40:30I'm sorry, Victor.
00:40:31I'm afraid I'll have to cut dinner short.
00:40:33No worries.
00:40:34Anything you need, just call.
00:40:35You're a valued partner, Veronica.
00:40:37You think carefully about that project I mentioned.
00:40:39I will.
00:40:40Thanks, Victor.
00:40:42See you soon.
00:40:45Remarkable woman.
00:40:47Sharp.
00:40:48Decisive.
00:40:49Never waste time.
00:40:52Mr. Sterling?
00:40:53Mr. Butler just called.
00:40:54He heard you're in New York.
00:40:55Coincidentally, he's attending a dinner here tonight
00:40:57and would like you to join.
00:40:59Oh?
00:41:00Who's hosting it?
00:41:02Rebecca Gray.
00:41:03She's moving fast.
00:41:04Already chasing Butler's money.
00:41:07Looks like she's trying to lock down his investment.
00:41:09If she pull it off,
00:41:10she might just keep Echelon afloat.
00:41:13Tell Butler I won't be able to make it.
00:41:15Yes, sir.
00:41:15And one more thing.
00:41:16Bring Butler up to speed on today's events.
00:41:19Everything Rebecca did to Veronica,
00:41:20don't leave out a single detail.
00:41:21Yes, sir.
00:41:25Rebecca.
00:41:26What goes around always comes around.
00:41:31Rebecca, it's been too long.
00:41:33I swear you get more beautiful every time I see you.
00:41:36Oh, Mr. Chan.
00:41:37You're making me blush.
00:41:39Come on, everyone.
00:41:39Let's enjoy ourselves tonight.
00:41:41Rebecca.
00:41:42Who's this gorgeous young lady?
00:41:43She's absolutely breathtaking.
00:41:45Just as I thought.
00:41:46The honey old bastard is walking right into it.
00:41:49Keep Ava smiling at him and that investment is mine.
00:41:52Veronica, you won't beat me.
00:41:54Mr. Butler, this is Ava,
00:41:57our newly appointed director of operations.
00:41:59Going forward,
00:42:00she'll be your primary point of contact.
00:42:01How does that sound?
00:42:02Wonderful.
00:42:03Miss Ava is quite impressive
00:42:05and remarkably young.
00:42:07By the way,
00:42:08where's Veronica?
00:42:09Yeah, isn't Veronica usually the one running these meetings?
00:42:12That's right.
00:42:12I've always worked directly with Veronica.
00:42:14Why isn't she here tonight?
00:42:15Oh, Veronica had a personal matter come up.
00:42:17She couldn't make it tonight,
00:42:18but don't worry.
00:42:19I'll take good care of everyone myself.
00:42:21What are you standing around for?
00:42:22Go pour Mr. Butler a drink.
00:42:29Hey!
00:42:29What the hell?
00:42:30Ava!
00:42:31What the hell is wrong with you?
00:42:32Why are you making a scene?
00:42:34President Gray, he touched me!
00:42:36Enough!
00:42:37Mr. Butler is one of our most important investors.
00:42:39He was just joking around.
00:42:40What's the big deal?
00:42:41If you upset him and cost us this investment,
00:42:44you'll be the one paying for it.
00:42:51I'm sorry, Mr. Butler.
00:42:53Then stop standing there and pour Mr. Butler another drink.
00:43:03Mr. Butler, as you know, we're entering the final stride before our IPO.
00:43:08About that additional investment you mentioned?
00:43:10You're putting me in a tough spot.
00:43:12My last investment hasn't exactly paid off yet.
00:43:17Mr. Butler, we're this close to going public.
00:43:20One more round of funding, and you'll be looking at a massive return.
00:43:27You may have a point.
00:43:29Veronica was always impressive.
00:43:31With someone like her running things, success seems inevitable.
00:43:34Maybe I could put in a little more.
00:43:42You fired Veronica?!
00:43:47Mr. Butler, please, let me explain.
00:43:50Explain what?!
00:43:51Everyone in our circle is talking about it!
00:43:53You stabbed Veronica in the back!
00:43:54She let you use her private jet to impress clients, and you tried to steal it from her?!
00:43:57You fired the woman who built this company and replaced her with some dumb bimbo intern?!
00:44:01I can't believe someone can be this stupid!
00:44:03He's right.
00:44:04We all know that Gulfstream belongs to Veronica.
00:44:06That's a hell of a way to repay someone.
00:44:08Mr. Butler, Mr. Chan, you've got it all wrong.
00:44:11Veronica broke company policy first.
00:44:13That's why-
00:44:14Without Veronica, this company has all value.
00:44:17I invested in her, not whatever this circus is supposed to be.
00:44:20You killed the golden goose, Rebecca, and now the eggs stop coming.
00:44:23My money's out, first thing tomorrow.
00:44:26Mr. Butler, please.
00:44:27Veronica may be gone, but the team is still here.
00:44:29We can still deliver.
00:44:30Deliver what?
00:44:31I've had money in your tied up for months and haven't seen a dime back.
00:44:34The only reason I stayed in was because I trusted Veronica.
00:44:37Ava, don't just stand there, beg.
00:44:40Mr. Butler, please don't leave.
00:44:42Just give us one more chance.
00:44:44Mr. Butler, if you keep your investment, Ava is yours for tonight.
00:44:50She'll do anything you want.
00:44:52President Gray, what did you say?
00:44:55President Gray, you can't be serious.
00:44:58Do it for the company.
00:44:59Get Butler's investment and I'll make you VP.
00:45:02And let's be honest, he's one of the most powerful players on Wall Street.
00:45:04You could do a lot worse.
00:45:06That's right, Mr. Butler.
00:45:08Whatever you want tonight, I'm at your service.
00:45:12Jesus Christ.
00:45:12You two really have no shame.
00:45:15Sure, I like beautiful women.
00:45:16What man doesn't?
00:45:17But do I look stupid enough to throw away millions for a bimbo?
00:45:24You've really hit rock bottom.
00:45:25Primping out your own employee for money?
00:45:28That's disgusting.
00:45:29Exactly.
00:45:30You betrayed the partner who helped build your company.
00:45:32Who's to say we won't be next?
00:45:33Wait.
00:45:34Please don't go.
00:45:35We can renegotiate.
00:45:36Whatever terms you want, we'll make it work.
00:45:38Don't walk away.
00:45:39Rebecca, money comes and goes.
00:45:40Character doesn't.
00:45:41I wouldn't trust you with a damn penny.
00:45:46What?
00:45:47Why does everyone believe that bitch instead of me?
00:45:50I'm the president!
00:45:51I built this company!
00:45:55Rebecca, please calm down.
00:45:56We still have plenty of clients in the pipeline.
00:45:58And once those final payments come in next month, we'll be fine.
00:46:01We'll have the rent money.
00:46:03You're right.
00:46:04We still have money coming in.
00:46:08Veronica, don't think this company can't survive without you.
00:46:11I'm not losing.
00:46:12Not to you.
00:46:16Miss Belton, these are the legal filings against Rebecca and her company.
00:46:20Please have a look.
00:46:21Thank you for coming out this late, Mr. Davis.
00:46:24Just doing my job.
00:46:25As for the damage Ava caused, I've had everything appraised.
00:46:27Total damages come to $8.5 million.
00:46:30We'll be seeking full compensation.
00:46:31Excellent.
00:46:32And the office lease?
00:46:33Recovering the discounted rent will be difficult.
00:46:35You agreed to those terms voluntarily.
00:46:37However, for the past three years, you've personally covered utilities,
00:46:40maintenance, and building expenses.
00:46:41We can recover every penny.
00:46:43Good.
00:46:44But I want to add one more claim.
00:46:45I'm suing for defamation.
00:46:47This notice branded me a thief and dragged my name through the mud.
00:46:50I want them held accountable for every word.
00:46:52Absolutely.
00:46:53This is textbook defamation.
00:46:54They presented fabricated allegations as fact.
00:46:57They're going down.
00:46:57Perfect.
00:46:58File everything immediately.
00:47:00I want Rebecca paying back every cent she owes me.
00:47:03With interest.
00:47:04Understood.
00:47:04I'll work through the night and file first thing tomorrow.
00:47:11President Gray, these are the files for all our key accounts.
00:47:14I've organized everything for you.
00:47:16Good.
00:47:17As long as we keep these clients, the final payments should clear within two weeks.
00:47:21That'll buy us some breathing room.
00:47:22But Veronica only gave us three days.
00:47:24Are we really going to get kicked out?
00:47:25Absolutely not.
00:47:27If we get thrown out, we'll be the laughing stock of the industry.
00:47:29It's only three million.
00:47:31I'll get a loan if I have to.
00:47:32Once the payments come in, we'll pay it back.
00:47:34President!
00:47:35This is bad.
00:47:37Really bad.
00:47:38Would everyone stop panicking for five damn minutes?
00:47:40What happened now?
00:47:42All our major clients just called.
00:47:43They want out.
00:47:44They're terminating their contracts.
00:47:47What?
00:47:49What the hell happened?
00:47:51Everything was fine yesterday.
00:47:53Because they were Veronica's clients.
00:47:54Every single one.
00:47:55She brought them in through her own connections.
00:47:57The whole industry knows you fired Veronica and tried to take her jet.
00:48:00They don't trust this company anymore.
00:48:02So they're bailing.
00:48:02Veronica again!
00:48:04This is all because of that bitch!
00:48:07President Gray, we're screwed!
00:48:09Fendler just sent formal notice.
00:48:11He's pulling his investment.
00:48:12And he wants his 10 million back immediately.
00:48:15He's pulling out?
00:48:1610 million?
00:48:17Can he do that?
00:48:18Somebody call him and work something out!
00:48:20We can't get a hold of him.
00:48:21Veronica always handled Butler personally.
00:48:23I've barely spoken to the man.
00:48:25His lawyers are already involved.
00:48:27If we don't return 10 million within three days, they're taking us to court!
00:48:32We're screwed.
00:48:33We can't even cover rent and now we owe 10 million dollars?
00:48:36Forget the IPO.
00:48:37At this rate, we'll be bankrupt within weeks.
00:48:38I'm updating my resume tonight.
00:48:40Everybody, shut up!
00:48:41This company isn't dead yet!
00:48:43I'm still standing here, aren't I?
00:48:49Who are you people?
00:48:57Rebecca Gray?
00:48:59Y-yes, that's me.
00:49:00We're with the Manhattan District Court.
00:49:02Ms. Belton has filed suit against you and your company.
00:49:04The claims include unlawful possession of private property, property damage, and defamation.
00:49:08Please accept service.
00:49:10Your court date in three days.
00:49:16What?!
00:49:16Veronica actually sued me?!
00:49:18Please sign here, Ms. Gray.
00:49:23So this is how far you're willing to take it.
00:49:26You want to destroy me?
00:49:27You want war?
00:49:28Fine.
00:49:29See you in court, bitch!
00:49:31This fight isn't over!
00:49:33Win?
00:49:34With what?
00:49:35Everything Veronica's suing over is backed by hard evidence.
00:49:37You're dead in the water.
00:49:38We can't afford this.
00:49:39The damages, the rent, the legal fees...
00:49:41We're screwed.
00:49:44Everyone, calm down.
00:49:46President Gray has gotten us through worse.
00:49:48If we stick together, we'll get through this too.
00:49:50And once the company goes public, we'll all be rewarded.
00:49:53You seriously have the nerve to say that?
00:49:55If you hadn't messed with Veronica, this company wouldn't be falling apart.
00:49:59Exactly!
00:49:59You spent three months kissing ass and climbing the ladder?
00:50:02Well, congrats!
00:50:03You got your promotion, and you dragged the whole company down with you!
00:50:06Why is everyone blaming me?
00:50:08I reported Veronica because I was protecting the company.
00:50:10How was I supposed to know the jet was hers?
00:50:12Didn't you think to check the facts before blowing everything up?
00:50:15Everything started with you.
00:50:16Own it!
00:50:16I didn't know the jet was hers, but you have been with the company long enough to know.
00:50:20Why didn't any of you stand up for her?
00:50:22If just one person had, none of this would have happened!
00:50:24We knew.
00:50:25But so did President Gray.
00:50:26So what are you saying?
00:50:27That this is Rebecca's fault?
00:50:31No!
00:50:32President Gray!
00:50:33I swear, that's not what I meant!
00:50:39No, that's not what I meant.
00:50:41If that's not what you meant, then this mess is on you.
00:50:43Exactly.
00:50:44You've got two options.
00:50:45Either bring those clients back, or bring Veronica back.
00:50:47Me?
00:50:48I just got promoted.
00:50:49I don't know any clients.
00:50:51How am I supposed to bring them back?
00:50:53Then go get Veronica.
00:50:54Why should I be the one begging her?
00:50:56Because this company is about to go under.
00:50:58You're the new operations director.
00:50:59If you can't bring Veronica back, then that's on you.
00:51:03President Gray?
00:51:05Are you hearing this?
00:51:06What's that supposed to mean, Director Sutton?
00:51:08You make the mess, then expect the president to clean it up for you?
00:51:10No!
00:51:11That's not what I meant!
00:51:12The company is out of options.
00:51:14Cash flow is collapsing.
00:51:15Clients are gone.
00:51:16Veronica is the only person who can save us now.
00:51:19Let's see if this idiot can fix the disaster she created.
00:51:22Enough!
00:51:22All of you!
00:51:24Ava, this started with you.
00:51:26So you'll fix it.
00:51:27Go bring Veronica back.
00:51:28But President!
00:51:28Ava, I know this feels unfair, but it's for the company.
00:51:31Bring Veronica back.
00:51:32Help us survive.
00:51:33When we go public, I'll make you the VP.
00:51:40Good luck, Director Sutton.
00:51:41All of our livelihoods are riding hour now.
00:51:43Fine!
00:51:44I'll go!
00:51:45And when I bring Veronica back, let's see what all of you have to say then!
00:51:53Veronica, I'd say we've got a deal.
00:51:58Pleasure doing business with you, Victor.
00:52:05Hey, Veronica.
00:52:07Can we talk?
00:52:09Of course.
00:52:14Veronica, I'm sorry.
00:52:16I should have checked the facts before reporting you.
00:52:20I was wrong.
00:52:21Wow.
00:52:22What did Rebecca promise you this time?
00:52:25Must be one hell of a promotion to get an apology out of you.
00:52:28I mean it.
00:52:29I'm really sorry.
00:52:31Be mad at me if you want.
00:52:33But please, stop coming after the company.
00:52:36No.
00:52:38Veronica!
00:52:39Don't push it!
00:52:40I apologize!
00:52:41What else do you want from me?!
00:52:43An apology?
00:52:44Ava, let's be honest.
00:52:45If I were still the Veronica you humiliated in front of the entire company, would you be here apologizing right
00:52:51now?
00:52:55You wouldn't.
00:52:57You'd be sitting in my office right now bragging about how you took down the VP.
00:53:00I was following company policy.
00:53:02I made a mistake.
00:53:04I should have looked into it more carefully.
00:53:05That's all.
00:53:07I haven't done anything wrong either.
00:53:10I'm taking back what's mine.
00:53:11I'm suing the people who wronged me.
00:53:13So tell me, what exactly do you think I owe you?
00:53:17You're unbelievably selfish.
00:53:19It's just a jet!
00:53:21Because of you, the company's falling apart.
00:53:23You got your revenge.
00:53:25But what about everyone else?
00:53:27When the company collapses, how are they supposed to support their families?
00:53:34I didn't destroy the company.
00:53:37You and Rekka did.
00:53:38The employees aren't my problem.
00:53:40And if the company goes under, they'll find another job.
00:53:44Just like I did.
00:53:49Miss Ava, you're still very young.
00:53:52What is that supposed to mean?
00:53:56Rebecca fed you a fairy tale and sent you here to beg.
00:54:00The sad part is, you bought it.
00:54:03Who the hell are you to judge me?
00:54:05I just wanted to prove myself!
00:54:07There's nothing wrong with ambition.
00:54:09The problem is stepping on people to get ahead.
00:54:11And when your ambition's bigger than your ability, you crash.
00:54:15You're saying I'm not good enough?!
00:54:18If you are, you wouldn't have a company in three weeks.
00:54:20And you definitely wouldn't be here begging me to save it.
00:54:29Honestly, you're so painfully naive that I almost feel bad for you.
00:54:32So here's some free advice.
00:54:34Walk away from Rebecca.
00:54:36Quit today.
00:54:37Find a real company, start from the bottom and learn how business actually works.
00:54:40No way.
00:54:42I worked too hard to get where I am.
00:54:43I'm not going back to fetching coffee and making coffees.
00:54:46And stop pretending you care.
00:54:47If you're so great, come back.
00:54:49I'll give you your VP job back myself.
00:54:51Keep it.
00:54:52I'm building my own company.
00:54:54And we're done here.
00:54:56You can go now.
00:54:57You're a selfish bitch, Veronica.
00:54:59You think you're better than everyone because you're rich?
00:55:02Just wait.
00:55:04One day, you'll regret this.
00:55:11She really is Rebecca all over again.
00:55:13Arrogant, greedy, and far dumber than she realizes.
00:55:18They're not worth another minute of our time.
00:55:20Now, Victor, shall we get back to building something successful?
00:55:31Well?
00:55:32Did you see Veronica?
00:55:33Is she coming back?
00:55:35President Gray, I...
00:55:39You're useless!
00:55:40I made you, director!
00:55:41And you can't even handle one simple task?
00:55:43I tried.
00:55:43I apologized.
00:55:44I begged her, but she wouldn't listen.
00:55:46I don't care.
00:55:47If Veronica doesn't come back, this company is finished.
00:55:50Go find her again.
00:55:51If she won't listen, get on your knees.
00:55:53Stay there until she changes her mind.
00:55:58You want me to kneel to her?
00:56:01Damn right.
00:56:03This mess started with you.
00:56:05Now fix it.
00:56:06I don't care what you have to do.
00:56:08Just bring her back.
00:56:10I reported her because I thought I was protecting the company.
00:56:14Save it.
00:56:14I don't want excuses.
00:56:16You're the director now.
00:56:17Fix the damn problem!
00:56:20What now?
00:56:21Can't you see I'm in the middle of something?
00:56:25President Gray, three more employees from the business team just resigned.
00:56:29Unbelievable!
00:56:30A bunch of ungrateful cowards.
00:56:32The second things get tough, they run!
00:56:34President, everyone can see where this is headed.
00:56:37Without Veronica, this company won't survive.
00:56:39People have families to support.
00:56:40You can't really blame them.
00:56:42What's that supposed to mean?
00:56:43Are you quitting too?
00:56:45No, President.
00:56:46I don't want to leave.
00:56:47But given the situation, you and Veronica were best friends once.
00:56:52Ava couldn't convince her.
00:56:55Maybe you should try talking to her.
00:57:00You want me to beg that bitch?
00:57:02President Gray, it's our only chance.
00:57:05Put your pride aside.
00:57:06Give her a real apology.
00:57:08Remind her of everything you've been through together.
00:57:11She might listen.
00:57:12What the hell is that supposed to mean?
00:57:14We're running out of time.
00:57:15If more people quit, it won't matter whether Veronica comes back or not.
00:57:18By then, it'll be too late.
00:57:20Enough.
00:57:21Both of you, out.
00:57:22Let me think.
00:57:30Veronica, it's me.
00:57:32Fine.
00:57:32You won.
00:57:33I was wrong.
00:57:34You can come back now.
00:57:35Rebecca, is that really your idea of an apology?
00:57:39Veronica, I'm sorry.
00:57:40I know I messed up.
00:57:41Please, come back and help me.
00:57:43No.
00:57:44You're not sorry.
00:57:45You're just desperate.
00:57:46That's not true.
00:57:47I know I was wrong.
00:57:48If you want Ava gone, I'll fire her right now.
00:57:51Just say the word.
00:57:52Ronnie, please give me one more chance.
00:57:54I already gave you a chance.
00:57:55You threw it away.
00:57:57Veronica, just listen to me.
00:57:58I don't want to hear it.
00:58:00Save your excuses for the judge.
00:58:02Veronica, what the hell do you want from me?
00:58:05I swallowed my pride and apologized.
00:58:07Do you really have to drive me into the ground?
00:58:10Rebecca, let's be clear.
00:58:11I'm not destroying you.
00:58:12You did that yourself.
00:58:13Every mess you're in,
00:58:14you made it.
00:58:15This is insane.
00:58:16What do you get out of destroying the company?
00:58:18You spent three years building it too.
00:58:20Are you really willing to burn it all down?
00:58:22I never wanted to burn anything down.
00:58:24You lit the fire.
00:58:25You just didn't notice it until the flames reached you.
00:58:36I'm screwed.
00:58:37The company's falling apart.
00:58:39And Rebecca will throw me under the bus the second she gets the chance.
00:58:43I'll never be able to get a job again.
00:58:46No.
00:58:48No.
00:58:48Hell no.
00:58:48I worked too hard for this job.
00:58:50I'm not going back to being some nobody.
00:58:53The company just needs money.
00:58:55That's it.
00:58:56If I can save the company, Rebecca won't dare fire me.
00:58:59And then everyone will finally see I was right.
00:59:02Wait.
00:59:04I've got it.
00:59:07Victor Sterling.
00:59:08He's one of the biggest players on Wall Street.
00:59:12If I get him on board, everything changes.
00:59:20Veronica.
00:59:22You ungrateful bitch.
00:59:23The number you are trying to reach is unavailable.
00:59:27She blocked me?
00:59:29That bitch actually blocked me?
00:59:35Damn you, Veronica!
00:59:37You cold-hearted bitch!
00:59:39I hope karma tears your life apart!
00:59:42What am I supposed to do now?
00:59:44Without Veronica, this company is finished.
00:59:46Do I really have to get on my knees and beg her in front of everyone?
00:59:50Fine.
00:59:51Then I'll beg.
00:59:56Who cares about my pride?
00:59:58If it saves the company, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:00:00And once the company is safe, I'll deal with Veronica later.
01:00:04But first, that useless idiot Ava has to go.
01:00:10Maybe if I give Veronica a scapegoat, she'll back off.
01:00:15HR, draft a termination notice.
01:00:16I want Ava gone by the end of the day.
01:00:18Just to confirm.
01:00:19President Gray, you'd like Director Sutton terminated immediately?
01:00:24President!
01:00:24I found a way to save the company!
01:00:32President Gray?
01:00:34Were you about to fire me?
01:00:37I was talking about Ava from tech.
01:00:39Not you.
01:00:40Come on.
01:00:41You're my future VP.
01:00:42Now tell me about this brilliant plan of yours.
01:00:48Victor, he's about to partner with Veronica, right?
01:00:51Then we take him away from her.
01:00:53One deal is enough to turn things around.
01:00:56Take him away?
01:00:57Victor Sterling is loyal to a fault.
01:00:59And right now, he's firmly in Veronica's corner.
01:01:02Why would he ever choose us?
01:01:03Not willingly.
01:01:05But everyone has something to lose.
01:01:07We just need leverage.
01:01:09Leverage?
01:01:09What kind of leverage?
01:01:10Simple.
01:01:11We invite him out, spike his drink.
01:01:14Once he's out of it, I'll take him back to a hotel room and get some photos.
01:01:18Once we get those, he'll do whatever we ask.
01:01:21Either he cooperates, or he explains the pictures.
01:01:27Ava, you're a genius!
01:01:29If we land Victor, we solve everything.
01:01:33The rent, the clients, all of it.
01:01:36And Veronica will never see it coming.
01:01:40Mr. Sterling, hello, it's Rebecca.
01:01:42Rebecca, I believe we've said all there to say.
01:01:45I'm busy.
01:01:46Wait!
01:01:46Please!
01:01:47Don't hang up!
01:01:48Mr. Sterling, I'm calling to apologize.
01:01:51To you and to Veronica.
01:01:53A bit late for that, isn't it?
01:01:55I never wanted things to end up like this.
01:01:57I trusted the wrong people.
01:01:59Ava kept feeding me lies and turning me against Veronica.
01:02:01By the time I realized what was happening, the damage was done.
01:02:05But I've finally seen her for who she really is.
01:02:08I terminated her this morning.
01:02:11You actually fired her?
01:02:13Absolutely.
01:02:14Mr. Sterling, I truly regret everything.
01:02:16Please, just give me one chance to make things right.
01:02:20Fine.
01:02:20For Veronica's sake, I'll hear what you have to say.
01:02:25That's wonderful.
01:02:26Tonight, 7 o'clock, the Stardust restaurant on the 5th.
01:02:30I'll see you there.
01:02:33Got him.
01:02:34Victor took the bait.
01:02:35Then I'll go make the arrangements right now.
01:02:37Ava, if this gets the company through the crisis and we make it to IPO, that VP spot is definitely
01:02:41yours.
01:02:43President Gray, you can count on me.
01:02:45I won't let you down.
01:02:58I won't let you down.
01:03:04Victor, once I have something on you, let's see how tough you act then.
01:03:10Mr. Sterling, it's so good to see you!
01:03:15Mr. Sterling, we've definitely had our differences.
01:03:19I was hoping we could clear the air.
01:03:22I'm listening.
01:03:25Honestly, this whole mess started with Ava.
01:03:27If it weren't for her, none of this would have happened.
01:03:33Is that so?
01:03:35Absolutely.
01:03:36She brought me fake evidence and manipulated me.
01:03:39That's what called the problems between Veronica and me.
01:03:41But don't worry.
01:03:42I've already fired her.
01:03:44Mr. Sterling, I'm asking for one chance.
01:03:47Please arrange a meeting with Veronica.
01:03:49I want to explain everything face to face.
01:03:51Fine.
01:03:51I will ask, but if Veronica doesn't buy it, you're on your own.
01:03:55And if Veronica still refuses, I promise I won't bother you again.
01:03:59Mr. Sterling, toast.
01:04:00Thank you for being so generous.
01:04:10Well, if that's everything, I'll be on my way.
01:04:13Of course, Mr. Sterling.
01:04:15Take care.
01:04:19Why am I so dizzy?
01:04:22You put something in my drink, didn't you?
01:04:54What the hell did you do to me?
01:04:58What do you think?
01:04:59A man and a woman alone in a hotel room?
01:05:01Use your imagination.
01:05:03You sick bastards!
01:05:04You drugged me?!
01:05:08Shut up, Victor.
01:05:10You're dropping Veronica and signing with us.
01:05:13That's right.
01:05:14And you're gonna tell everyone that Veronica lied.
01:05:17You'll say the only reason you partnered with her was because she slept with you.
01:05:21Not happening!
01:05:22Then these photos go public tomorrow morning.
01:05:25A Wall Street Titan caught in a hotel room scandal.
01:05:29And you know what?
01:05:31Ava might even claim it wasn't consensual.
01:05:33Tell me, Victor.
01:05:35How do you think that plays on the evening news?
01:05:37You're both psych.
01:05:39Fine. I'll sign.
01:05:40But I'll never lie about Veronica.
01:05:42Release the photos if you want.
01:05:43You'll destroy yourselves right along with me.
01:05:45You-
01:05:46President Gray, relax.
01:05:47I have a better idea.
01:05:49What better idea?
01:05:51If we can get leverage on Victor, we can get leverage on Veronica too.
01:05:55You mean, the second Victor signs with us, Veronica will come looking for answers.
01:05:58When she does, we'll be ready.
01:06:00Then we'll have everything we need to ruin her.
01:06:01Good.
01:06:02That's exactly what we'll do.
01:06:04I want her humiliated in front of everyone.
01:06:06I'll contact my supplier.
01:06:08This time I'm getting the strongest stuff they have.
01:06:10When we're done with her, she'll be finished.
01:06:12These two psychos drugged me without a second thought.
01:06:15There's no way they'll stop it, Veronica.
01:06:18I need to warn her.
01:06:19Before it's too late.
01:06:35Veronica, good evening.
01:06:37The day after tomorrow is our big project signing ceremony.
01:06:40As your former partner, I'd love for you to be there and witness our comeback firsthand.
01:06:45No thanks.
01:06:46Find someone else to annoy.
01:06:48You don't even want to know who we're signing?
01:06:50Couldn't care less.
01:06:52Victor.
01:06:53Surprised?
01:06:53He already agreed to partner with us.
01:06:55What?
01:06:56That's impossible.
01:06:57Victor would never work with you.
01:06:59How cute.
01:07:00In business, there are no permanent enemies.
01:07:02Only permanent profits.
01:07:04Signing ceremony.
01:07:05Tomorrow.
01:07:0610am.
01:07:06The Manhattan Intercontinental.
01:07:08Don't be late, Veronica.
01:07:09I'd hate for you to miss watching me win.
01:07:12Something's off.
01:07:13Victor is a man of integrity.
01:07:15He made it crystal clear he wanted nothing to do with Rebecca.
01:07:17There's no way he changed his mind overnight.
01:07:20Something happened.
01:07:21And whatever it is, it stinks.
01:07:34Victor's not answering.
01:07:35Definitely not normal.
01:07:37No.
01:07:39I'm getting to the bottom of this.
01:07:44Smith.
01:07:45It's Veronica.
01:07:46I need you to track Rebecca, Ava, and Victor, every move they've made in the last 24 hours.
01:07:51No problem, Mrs. Veronica.
01:07:52I'll get right on it.
01:07:57I'll get right on it.
01:07:58I'll get right on it.
01:07:58Can you believe it?
01:08:00Victor actually signed with Rebecca.
01:08:02A few days ago, they looked ready to kill each other.
01:08:04Look at Victor.
01:08:06Biggest deal of the year, and he looks like he's headed to a funeral.
01:08:08Something's definitely off.
01:08:10Even strangers can see something's wrong.
01:08:12Yeah.
01:08:13This stinks.
01:08:18Mr. Sterling.
01:08:21Veronica.
01:08:22What are you doing here?
01:08:24You need to leave.
01:08:25Now.
01:08:26This place isn't safe.
01:08:28Victor, what the hell is going on?
01:08:30Why would you suddenly agree to sign with Rebecca?
01:08:34Don't ask.
01:08:36Just get out of here.
01:08:38And stay away from Rebecca and Ava.
01:08:41Those two are planning something.
01:08:45What are they planning?
01:08:46I don't know the details.
01:08:48But they've set a trap for you.
01:08:50Veronica, I'm sorry.
01:08:51I can't go through with our deal.
01:08:53Please.
01:08:53Just leave.
01:08:57Victor.
01:08:58Tell me the truth.
01:09:01Stop asking.
01:09:03Those women have no limits.
01:09:05I'm not dragging you into this.
01:09:13Mrs. Veronica, we got everything.
01:09:15Last night, Rebecca and Ava drugged Mr. Sterling at a restaurant.
01:09:19Then they took him to a hotel and photographed him to blackmail him.
01:09:23They drugged him?
01:09:24Those sick, desperate bitches actually did it!
01:09:27I have proof.
01:09:28Photos of Rebecca drugging Victor.
01:09:30Photos of them moving him into the hotel unconscious.
01:09:32And records showing Ava purchased the drugs.
01:09:34Good work.
01:09:39Victor.
01:09:40You don't have to be afraid anymore.
01:09:44What?
01:09:44Because I already have everything.
01:09:47Proof they drugged you.
01:09:49Proof they blackmailed you.
01:09:52And enough evidence to bury both of them.
01:09:55Wait.
01:09:56Are you serious?
01:09:59Mr. Sterling, we've got them.
01:10:01The evidence is airtight.
01:10:03Drugging someone and blackmailing them for business lever is freliny.
01:10:08Good.
01:10:09Those evil bitches are finished.
01:10:11I swear I'll do everything I can to see them behind bars.
01:10:15Ms. Veronica, there's more.
01:10:17Ava spiked your drink earlier tonight.
01:10:19I've already switched the glasses.
01:10:25They wanna play dirty?
01:10:26Fine.
01:10:27Let's see how they like drinking their own poison.
01:10:35Well, if it isn't our former VP.
01:10:38Tell me, Veronica.
01:10:39Watching Victor sign with me must be killing you.
01:10:43Veronica, I owe you an apology.
01:10:45I shouldn't have treated you the way I did.
01:10:47Let's put the past behind us.
01:10:49Exactly.
01:10:50Drink this, and we can call it even.
01:10:52Hell, I might even be generous enough to give you your old job back.
01:10:56The detective already switched the drinks.
01:10:58Let's see who's laughing in ten minutes.
01:11:09I drank the champagne.
01:11:11But don't confuse that with forgiveness.
01:11:14Neither of you deserve it.
01:11:17That's okay.
01:11:19In a few minutes, you'll be the one begging us.
01:11:21I can't wait.
01:11:23Maybe you'll finally learn how to get on your knees and apologize.
01:11:27Really?
01:11:28Then let's sit back and enjoy the show.
01:11:31What's taking so long? She should have reacted by now.
01:11:36Is something wrong?
01:11:38You both look confused.
01:11:41Tell me.
01:11:42Are you wondering why I drank the champagne and nothing happened?
01:11:48How did you know?
01:11:50Not only did I know you spiked the drink,
01:11:52I had our glasses switched before you got here.
01:11:55The drug champagne? You drank it yourself.
01:11:57What?
01:12:01Veronica!
01:12:02You drugged Rebecca in front of everyone!
01:12:04That's attempted murder!
01:12:07What's happening? Did somebody poison her?
01:12:09The only people drugging anyone are these two.
01:12:12Last night, Rebecca and Ava drugged Mr. Sterling to force him into a business deal.
01:12:18They dragged him unconscious into a hotel room,
01:12:22then staged fake bedroom photos to blackmail him.
01:12:25That explains everything.
01:12:26I knew Victor would have never partnered with Rebecca willingly.
01:12:30And as Jesus Christ, these women are completely unhinged.
01:12:38Liar!
01:12:38That's a lie!
01:12:40You're framing me!
01:12:41You're the one who drugged me!
01:12:45Every word Veronica said is true!
01:12:48They drugged me and forced me into this deal.
01:12:50And today they tried to do the same thing to Veronica.
01:12:53Now she's got a taste of her own medicine!
01:12:56You have no proof!
01:12:58Right now, Rebecca is the one who's drugged!
01:13:01Proof?
01:13:03You want proof?
01:13:04Fine. Let's give everyone a front-road seat.
01:13:13Just because you have photos doesn't prove a damn thing!
01:13:16Mr. Sterling was drunk!
01:13:18We were helping him get back to his hotel room!
01:13:20What does that have to do with you drugging Rebecca?
01:13:24She has a point.
01:13:26Those photos alone don't prove anything.
01:13:28Maybe Rebecca was actually trying to help him.
01:13:31Still lying?
01:13:32Fine.
01:13:34Let's finish this.
01:13:57What?!
01:13:58How the hell did you get that footage?!
01:14:01No.
01:14:02No, no, no.
01:14:04We're screwed.
01:14:07There it is. Caught in 4K.
01:14:12So tell me.
01:14:13What lie were you planning to sell next?
01:14:17Drugging and blackmailing to close a deal?
01:14:19You two belong in a prison cell, not a boardroom.
01:14:23I'll make damn sure you rot in there!
01:14:25You won't be the only one.
01:14:27The police should be here any minute.
01:14:38Rebecca Gray, Ava Sutton.
01:14:40You're under arrest for blackmail, criminal coercion, and administering an intoxicating substance.
01:14:44You're coming with us.
01:14:45No.
01:14:45No.
01:14:47No.
01:14:49No, no, no.
01:14:52Veronica!
01:14:54Please!
01:14:55Please give me one more chance!
01:14:57I know I was wrong!
01:14:58I swear I know I was wrong!
01:15:02I'm sorry!
01:15:03I lost my mind. I never should have listened to Rebecca. Please tell them to let me go.
01:15:09I swear I'll never do anything like this again.
01:15:14You lying cut. This was your idea. You wanted the photos. Now you're dumping it all on me.
01:15:20Oh, please. You started all this. You wanted Veronica's jet. You told me to go after her.
01:15:26You dangled promotions in front of me.
01:15:28Amber, it worked. None of this would have happened.
01:15:31Even now, you're still blaming everyone but yourselves.
01:15:36Veronica, for the sake of our friendship, please, just once, I'll give you the company.
01:15:42I'll walk away. I'll leave the country. You'll never have to see me again.
01:15:46Friendship? Where was that friendship when you called me a thief?
01:15:49When you tried to steal my jet? When you trashed my name and turned everyone against me?
01:15:53Now that your cornered suddenly we're friends again?
01:15:55Man, three years ago you were drowning. I pulled you out. I paid your debts. I opened doors for you.
01:16:00I gave you my trust and love and support.
01:16:03It treated you like family.
01:16:05But you treated me like an opportunity.
01:16:07The more I gave, the more you wanted.
01:16:10You didn't want a friend.
01:16:12You wanted a ladder.
01:16:13And as soon as you got to the top, you tried to kick it away from beneath you.
01:16:21This didn't happen to you, Rebecca.
01:16:23You did this to yourself.
01:16:28Officer, I believe you have everything you need.
01:16:47I spent years afraid of losing her.
01:16:50But sometimes, letting go of the wrong people is the beginning of the life you deserve.
01:16:56But sometimes, let's get to you.
01:16:57Well, easy way down.
01:17:00Sterling.
01:17:00Exactly knows what's going on.
01:17:01What's going on?
01:17:01He was only traveling with somebody even on, Judy's 히х.
01:17:01So I was undercover around Louisville.
01:17:01And that's amazing.
