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.
00:00:22President Gray, I'd like to file a formal complaint. Veronica has been blatantly abusing her authority as vice president.
00:00:31You use the corporate jet like your private party bus. That Gulfstream is meant to impress top investors, not your
00:00:38little 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.
00:00:57What the hell are you laughing at?
00:01:00Rebecca, maybe you should explain to the office Sherlock who that jet actually belongs to before she starts dusting the
00:01:05room for fingerprints.
00:01:09Rebecca's my best friend.
00:01:11Three years ago, she was drowning in debt and this firm was hanging by a thread.
00:01:15I was the one who saved both.
00:01:24Ronnie, 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.
00:01:41I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you.
00:01:45Pay off your debt.
00:01:47Don'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.
00:01:5850-50.
00:02:02When 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.
00:02:19We 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 harbor fees and maintenance costs.
00:02:35We're about to go public.
00:02:37If SEC sees this kind of executive asset use, our entire listing could collapse.
00:02:42We 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.
00:02:58Rebecca, tell her.
00:03:04Vernonica, I 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.
00:03:15Nobody gets special treatment.
00:03:18Wow.
00:03:19Look at you now.
00:03:22Ronnie, I screwed up.
00:03:24Again.
00:03:25The firm's about to go under because of me.
00:03:28I'm sorry I let you down.
00:03:31Hey, it's just money.
00:03:33We'll make more.
00:03:35I'll mortgage the jet if I have to.
00:03:38Ronnie, thank you.
00:03:40Nobody's ever believed in me the way you do.
00:03:45One day, when we're ringing that opening bell,
00:03:47I'm buying you the best jet on the market.
00:03:50We'll fly around the world together.
00:03:57Oh, my God!
00:03:59We did it!
00:04:00We freaking did it!
00:04:14Promise me something.
00:04:16No matter how big this thing gets,
00:04:19it's always going to be you and me against the world.
00:04:22Deal.
00:04:23Sisters for life.
00:04:25And partners, too.
00:04:25Don't forget partners.
00:04:33Fine.
00:04:34Rebecca wants to play dumb.
00:04:36But what about the rest of you?
00:04:38You all know exactly where that jet came from.
00:04:42Funny.
00:04:44When the company was drowning,
00:04:45I was everyone's hero.
00:04:47Now Rebecca turns on me
00:04:48and suddenly everybody develops amnesia.
00:04:51President Gray,
00:04:52to make sure nothing like this happens again,
00:04:54we should put the jet under administrative control.
00:04:57No one gets access without approval.
00:04:59That's a great idea, Ava.
00:05:01If we are serious about becoming a world-class company,
00:05:03we need real structure.
00:05:05Veronica,
00:05:06please hand over the jet access codes.
00:05:09That's not enough,
00:05:10considering how severe this abuse was.
00:05:14Veronica should apologize publicly
00:05:16in front of the entire company.
00:05:22One bitch wants a power trip.
00:05:24The other wants my jet.
00:05:27Fine.
00:05:28Let's see if you can survive the consequences.
00:05:37Veronica, what are you doing?
00:05:38Are you trying to cause a scene?
00:05:40This is Rebecca's company,
00:05:42not yours.
00:05:48Wouldn't dream of forgetting that.
00:05:50That's better.
00:05:51A 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,
00:05:59I know this doesn't feel fair,
00:06:01but 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.
00:06:07Hmm.
00:06:08Hmm.
00:06:09Hmm.
00:06:12They stole my jet
00:06:13and think they're still going public?
00:06:15That's cute.
00:06:24Can you believe her?
00:06:26Strutting around like she's above everyone.
00:06:28Meanwhile, she's been stealing from the firm.
00:06:29Sucking us dry just to impress her rich friends.
00:06:32It's disgusting.
00:06:33Rebecca's too kind.
00:06:34If it were me,
00:06:35security would have tossed this leech
00:06:36out 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,
00:06:47according to Estimate,
00:06:48you owe the firm $128,000.
00:06:51Hangar fees,
00:06:52fuel,
00:06:53cleaning.
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.
00:07:02Don't be surprised when the bills got your name on it.
00:07:04You had your fun.
00:07:06Now,
00:07:06pay up like a big girl.
00:07:08Do you know who paid the hanger fees,
00:07:10insurance premiums,
00:07:12and crew salaries for the past three years?
00:07:14It's a company jet.
00:07:16Who do you think paid for it?
00:07:17The company.
00:07:18Duh.
00:07:19Interesting.
00:07:21Then why aren't there any invoices
00:07:22or payment records in the company books?
00:07:26Because I just took over.
00:07:27I haven't finished auditing everything yet.
00:07:30I'll find the records later.
00:07:31Nice try.
00:07:32Now stop changing the subject and pay what you owe.
00:07:35You could tear this office apart brick by brick
00:07:37and 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.
00:07:54I paid everything myself from my personal account.
00:07:57So what?
00:07:58You're the one using the jet.
00:07:59Who else was supposed to pay?
00:08:01And you still owe the firm for using it.
00:08:04Then let me ask you one more question.
00:08:07Do you know who brought that jet into the firm three years ago?
00:08:10I don't know.
00:08:11And I don't care.
00:08:12It's registered under the company now.
00:08:14And Rebecca said if you don't pay up,
00:08:16we're dacking your bonus.
00:08:19Rebecca again.
00:08:20Oh, 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.
00:08:28If I approve it, you fly.
00:08:29If I don't, you stay on the damn ground.
00:08:34Let me get this straight.
00:08:35I'm the vice president,
00:08:36but I need a hall pass from a three-month intern to use my jet?
00:08:42What?
00:08:43Rebecca personally ordered it.
00:08:45Don't like it?
00:08:46Take it up with her.
00:08:53Fine.
00:08:54I'll pay.
00:08:56Could have saved us both a lot of time if you just said that from the start.
00:09:04Oh, one more thing.
00:09:06Rebecca's bringing in a major client on Monday.
00:09:08Make sure you clear your personal crap off the jet.
00:09:11Let's not embarrass the firm.
00:09:13Noted.
00:09:26Davis, I need some legal advice.
00:09:28Hypothetically, if someone takes your property,
00:09:31claims it's theirs, and profits off it,
00:09:33what are your options?
00:09:34Cases like that come down to one thing.
00:09:36Proof.
00:09:37As long as you can prove ownership,
00:09:38they'll have to return the property
00:09:40and be liable for any damages.
00:09:42Understood.
00:09:54Ronnie, 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.
00:10:05It helps the company.
00:10:06That's all that matters.
00:10:10Time really changes people.
00:10:12I gave her everything.
00:10:15Turns out all I did was teach her to take more.
00:10:22It's time to settle up.
00:10:33Veronica, I figured you were busy,
00:10:35so 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.
00:10:46Replace it with the Levant Rebecca actually drinks.
00:10:50That's Romanae Conti.
00:10:51Allocation only.
00:10:5320 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.
00:11:02Like, aggressively.
00:11:03Rip them out.
00:11:04I want luxury luxury.
00:11:05Like, Hermes Orange.
00:11:07I want clients to see money.
00:11:13Handcrafted in Italy.
00:11:14Custom aviation leather.
00:11:1650k per seat.
00:11:17And she's ripping them out with a crowbar.
00:11:22Seriously?
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.
00:11:34Much better.
00:11:35Now it actually looks expensive.
00:11:39Ava, you're about to find out how expensive ignorance can get.
00:11:44Oh, right.
00:11:44On one more thing.
00:11:46Management's decided to suspend you as vice president.
00:11:48Takes them to think about what you've done.
00:11:50You'll start preparing your handover.
00:11:52Oh?
00:11:53A handover?
00:11:54To who?
00:11:55Me, obviously.
00:11:57Rebecca's promoting me to director of operations.
00:12:00I 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 a problem with it?
00:12:10Take it up with her.
00:12:10Fair enough.
00:12:12Congratulations, 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?
00:12:26This 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.
00:12:33I guess 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.
00:12:41By 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's throne.
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.
00:13:08Victory's our biggest client.
00:13:09I've spent months winning him over.
00:13:11In the end, that jet helped close the deal.
00:13:14Everything's in the database.
00:13:15Knock yourself out.
00:13:16I don't give a shit about what's in the database.
00:13:18I want the real intel.
00:13:20What does he like?
00:13:21What does he drink?
00:13:22What gets him to sign?
00:13:24And why exactly would I tell you that, Veronica?
00:13:27If we lose our biggest client because you bobbed the handover,
00:13:29you'll be responsible for the damages.
00:13:32Actually, no.
00:13:33You suspended me.
00:13:35As far as this company's concerned,
00:13:37I don't work here anymore.
00:13:39Whatever happens next isn't my problem.
00:13:41Also, if 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.
00:13:48Good luck.
00:13:48You're going to need it.
00:13:52Keep talking, bitch.
00:13:54You act like Victor only says yes to you.
00:13:57The minute I land this deal, you're finished.
00:14:02Miss Belton, welcome back.
00:14:04What can we do for you today?
00:14:05I want maximum security installed on my aircraft.
00:14:08Starting today, nobody flies it without my fingerprint
00:14:10and authorization from my phone.
00:14:12I want full control routed to my device.
00:14:14Of course.
00:14:15As 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?
00:14:29Oh, please.
00:14:30Don't tell me you're trying to steal the jet again.
00:14:33Honestly, Veronica, do you have any shame?
00:14:35This is company property.
00:14:39It's a work day.
00:14:40I'm working.
00:14:43So you're using it for a business trip?
00:14:45Didn't I make myself clear?
00:14:47Nobody 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,
00:15:00just 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,
00:15:13closing their deals,
00:15:15and offering to reimburse me for a coach ticket?
00:15:17The audacity is almost impressive.
00:15:23Hello, this is Veronica Belton.
00:15:25My credit card has been compromised.
00:15:28Freeze the account immediately.
00:15:32Oh?
00:15:36You're right on time.
00:15:42Now?
00:15:43No, that's too easy.
00:15:45If I'm going to ground them,
00:15:48I'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.
00:16:08The system flagged suspicious activity.
00:16:10Of course I froze it.
00:16:11Victor lands tomorrow.
00:16:12The jet needs to be ready.
00:16:14Unfreeze the card.
00:16:15Now!
00:16:16Banks 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 find you once and suddenly you're sabotaging the firm?
00:16:24If this deal falls apart, that's on you.
00:16:28It's my card.
00:16:29I can freeze it whenever I want.
00:16:30And remind me,
00:16:31why is the company using my credit card?
00:16:33You?
00:16:33I didn't care before.
00:16:38Back 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,
00:16:44don'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,
00:16:56I 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.
00:17:05You want to bite the hand that fed you?
00:17:07Go ahead.
00:17:08I'll make sure it's the last mistake you ever make.
00:17:13Hi.
00:17:13I'm leasing out the 22nd floor of Manhattan's 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,
00:17:30a woman who throws a fit over a little jet fuel
00:17:32has no place in a firm of this caliber.
00:17:34Once we sign with Victor tomorrow,
00:17:36we'll kick her out for good.
00:17:48Mr. Sterling,
00:17:49please give a little more time.
00:17:51To show how much we value your business,
00:17:53I'm sending our private jet to bring you in personally.
00:17:59Is everything ready?
00:18:00Victor is our biggest investor.
00:18:03Absolutely nothing can go wrong today.
00:18:05I've got you, President Gray.
00:18:07The jet's totally ready to go.
00:18:08And since Mr. Sterling loves the VIP treatment,
00:18:11I've stocked the cabin with top-shelf champagne,
00:18:13gourmet catering,
00:18:14and it works.
00:18:16Good.
00:18:17Nothing says success like the $30 million jet
00:18:20waiting on the runway.
00:18:21Victor will be signing before he even lands.
00:18:23President Gray,
00:18:25Ava may be young,
00:18:26but she's already left Veronica in the dust.
00:18:29Absolutely.
00:18:30Ava'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.
00:18:39Everything I know came from President Gray.
00:18:41All right.
00:18:42Time for Cali.
00:18:43Let's get moving.
00:18:45Yes, ma'am.
00:18:56Get moving?
00:18:58Not unless I allow it.
00:19:03Hello?
00:19:04Miss Belton,
00:19:05I have a client who urgently needed office space.
00:19:07Only catch is,
00:19:08he's in debt collection,
00:19:09and his people can be a little rough.
00:19:11Want me to find someone more corporate?
00:19:13Debt collectors?
00:19:13Perfect.
00:19:15I've got some former tenants refusing to leave.
00:19:18If he clears them out today,
00:19:20I'll lease him the floor at half rent.
00:19:22Absolutely.
00:19:23That's what they do best.
00:19:24I'll send them over now.
00:19:27Debt collectors and Victor showing up at the same time.
00:19:29This should be fine.
00:19:31Rebecca,
00:19:31I'd love to hear how you explain this one.
00:19:55What's going on?
00:19:56Why'd the plane stop?
00:19:57I don't know.
00:19:59The engine just cut out.
00:20:00The control board went dark.
00:20:02Then restart it.
00:20:03What are you standing there for?
00:20:06What the hell is happening?
00:20:09It looks like the system controls are locked.
00:20:13What?
00:20:14Are you idiots breaking my plane?
00:20:17No, ma'am.
00:20:18I did everything by the book.
00:20:19I have no idea why this is happening.
00:20:21For fuck's sake,
00:20:22fix it.
00:20:23If Victor walks,
00:20:25every one of your asses is fired.
00:20:28I've never seen anything like this before.
00:20:30I don't know what to do.
00:20:32Of course you don't.
00:20:33Suddenly,
00:20:34nobody knows how to do shit.
00:20:35This crap never happened
00:20:36when Veronica was here.
00:20:38Wait.
00:20:38If we get Vice President Belton's master key,
00:20:41we can reactivate the system.
00:20:42Okay,
00:20:43where's the damn key?
00:20:45I think it should be with admin.
00:20:47Then why the fuck are you standing here?
00:20:49Go get it!
00:20:49Oh, okay.
00:20:50Right away.
00:20:57Too bad that key is junk now.
00:20:59The entire system's upgraded.
00:21:01Without my command,
00:21:03this jet isn't going anywhere.
00:21:13Here.
00:21:14Try it.
00:21:28Still nothing?
00:21:30Do you even know how to fly this thing?
00:21:31There's nothing I can do, ma'am.
00:21:33The jet's in full lockdown.
00:21:34The key's been disabled.
00:21:35The system says only the registered owner
00:21:37can unlock it with the master code.
00:21:40President Gray!
00:21:41It's the company jet!
00:21:43Surely you're the registered owner?
00:21:44Just punch the code in!
00:21:47I...
00:21:50It's been another hour!
00:21:52Where the hell is my plane?
00:21:53Are you running a business or a circus?
00:21:55Mr. Sterling,
00:21:56my sincerest apologies.
00:21:58We ran into a small technical issue,
00:21:59but it's being handled as we speak.
00:22:01We'll be there shortly.
00:22:06President Gray,
00:22:06Victor's getting impatient.
00:22:07Hurry and enter the code.
00:22:10I don't have it.
00:22:14What?
00:22:15You don't have the code?
00:22:23But this is a company asset.
00:22:26How do you not have the code?
00:22:30Well,
00:22:31Veronica always handled the jet.
00:22:34Veronica, right!
00:22:35Get her!
00:22:36She can unlock it!
00:22:47Veronica!
00:22:48Stop goggling and get over here.
00:22:49Unlock the plane.
00:22:50Now!
00:22:52Unlock?
00:22:53I don't know what you're talking about.
00:22:54Stop playing dumb with me!
00:22:56The jet's locked!
00:22:58It won't move!
00:22:59It won't move?
00:23:00That's terrible.
00:23:01But what does it have to do with me?
00:23:03I'm not a mechanic.
00:23:04You should call maintenance.
00:23:06It's not broken.
00:23:07It's locked.
00:23:08Fix it now.
00:23:09If we miss Victor and lose this deal,
00:23:10I'll personally hold you responsible.
00:23:12That's strange,
00:23:13President Gray,
00:23:14because I distinctly remember
00:23:15you giving Ava full control of the jet.
00:23:17So why am I suddenly being called in
00:23:19to save the day?
00:23:20President Gray already told us
00:23:22you were the one managing the jet!
00:23:24I get it now.
00:23:26You're bitter because I replaced you,
00:23:28so you're trying to sabotage
00:23:29our deal with Victor!
00:23:34Exactly.
00:23:34I'm sabotaging you.
00:23:36What are you going to do about it?
00:23:40Veronica,
00:23:41you're trying to destroy this firm!
00:23:44You're risking our entire future
00:23:45just to settle a personal grudge!
00:23:48What does the firm have to do with me?
00:23:49I'm suspended, remember?
00:23:51You're the operations director now.
00:23:53If something's gone wrong,
00:23:54that's your problem,
00:23:55not mine.
00:23:57You!
00:23:58Veronica!
00:23:59I'm ordering you.
00:24:01Stop this nonsense
00:24:02and unlock the plane.
00:24:04Right now.
00:24:06And who are you to order me around?
00:24:09I am your boss.
00:24:11Interesting.
00:24:12Since when does being a boss
00:24:14entitle you to my private jet?
00:24:16Oh, please.
00:24:17That's a company jet
00:24:18and everyone knows it!
00:24:19How is it suddenly yours?
00:24:28Do yourself a favor.
00:24:32Open your eyes
00:24:33and read the owner's name.
00:24:44How is this possible?
00:24:54How is this possible?
00:24:56Because it's my jet.
00:24:58I decide when it flies,
00:24:59I decide when it stays grounded.
00:25:01And right now,
00:25:03it's staying right where it is.
00:25:05No.
00:25:06No way.
00:25:07That's impossible.
00:25:08This jet belonged to the company.
00:25:11You forged that document.
00:25:12You had to.
00:25:13Forged?
00:25:15Then go ahead.
00:25:16Ask your president.
00:25:17Ask her if she has the guts
00:25:19to stand here
00:25:19and tell everyone
00:25:20that jet belongs to her.
00:25:22Don't push me!
00:25:23I can fire you right here!
00:25:25Right now!
00:25:26That'd be fantastic.
00:25:27I've been dying
00:25:28to get out of this dump.
00:25:30Honestly,
00:25:30you'd be doing me a favor.
00:25:32You...
00:25:32You little...
00:25:44Rebecca,
00:25:45your jet never came,
00:25:46so I took mine.
00:25:48Should I assume
00:25:49you're no longer interested
00:25:50in doing business?
00:25:51Mr. Sterling,
00:25:53I am so sorry.
00:25:54We ran into an unexpected issue
00:25:56with the jet,
00:25:56but everything's under control now.
00:25:58That's not the point.
00:25:59I cleared my schedule
00:26:00and waited over an hour.
00:26:01My time is money,
00:26:02Ms. Gray.
00:26:03Or do you think
00:26:04yours is worth more than mine?
00:26:05No, no, sir!
00:26:07That's not what I meant!
00:26:08If you'd just let me explain...
00:26:09Save it.
00:26:10If it weren't Veronica,
00:26:11I would have walked away already.
00:26:22Miss Belton!
00:26:24It's been far too long.
00:26:26It's nice to see you too, Victor.
00:26:28Come on.
00:26:29Let's get out of here
00:26:30and talk business.
00:26:31I'm afraid that won't be possible.
00:26:33What do you mean?
00:26:34President Gray fired me
00:26:35a few minutes ago.
00:26:38What?
00:26:41Rebecca,
00:26:42what the hell is this?
00:26:45Veronica's track record
00:26:46is the only reason
00:26:47I was willing to consider
00:26:48this partnership.
00:26:49Mr. Sterling,
00:26:51this is all just
00:26:52a misunderstanding.
00:26:53Where's the misunderstanding?
00:26:55Did she not get fired?
00:26:57Mr. Sterling,
00:26:58Veronica was fired
00:26:59for abusing company privileges.
00:27:01She took the company jet
00:27:02without permission.
00:27:02Permission?
00:27:03Unless I'm mistaken,
00:27:04that gross dream
00:27:05belongs to Miss Veronica.
00:27:06Mr. Sterling,
00:27:07she's lied to you.
00:27:08That plane is company property.
00:27:10Ava,
00:27:11shut your mouth!
00:27:18Veronica,
00:27:19explain this to Mr. Sterling.
00:27:21Please don't air our dirty laundry
00:27:23in front of an investor.
00:27:24Wait.
00:27:26That jet actually belonged to Veronica?
00:27:28Now you're worried
00:27:29about appearances?
00:27:31Where was that concern
00:27:32when you humiliated me
00:27:33in front of the entire company?
00:27:34When you let an intern
00:27:36step on me like dirt?
00:27:37Bonnie,
00:27:38we've been friends forever.
00:27:39Please,
00:27:40just do this for me.
00:27:41Friends don't stab
00:27:42each other in the back.
00:27:44As of today,
00:27:45you, me,
00:27:45and this company
00:27:46have nothing to do
00:27:46with one another.
00:27:48Rebecca,
00:27:48you've wasted my time.
00:27:50Veronica's the only reason
00:27:51I agreed to work together.
00:27:53Without her,
00:27:54I have no interest
00:27:54in doing business
00:27:55with your firm.
00:27:57Mr. Sterling,
00:27:58please,
00:27:58don't be hasty.
00:27:59We can still make this work.
00:28:00We can renegotiate the terms.
00:28:03Veronica lent you
00:28:04her jet for free
00:28:05and you thanked her
00:28:05by firing her.
00:28:07If that's how you treat
00:28:07your best people,
00:28:08why would I trust you
00:28:09with my money?
00:28:10Veronica,
00:28:11I happen to have
00:28:12a very promising new project.
00:28:14Will you be interested?
00:28:16Mr. Sterling,
00:28:17please,
00:28:18give it another chance.
00:28:20Here's a free piece
00:28:21of advice,
00:28:22Ms. Gray.
00:28:23Character comes
00:28:24before business
00:28:25and yours is bankrupt.
00:28:32President Gray,
00:28:33we've got problem.
00:28:34A bunch of people
00:28:34just stormed the office.
00:28:35They're tearing the place apart.
00:28:36You need to get back there now.
00:28:38What?
00:28:54What the hell is this?
00:28:57Who let you people in here?
00:28:59Get out
00:29:00or I'm calling the cops.
00:29:02Ms. Gray,
00:29:03I represent the owner
00:29:03of this property.
00:29:04I've been instructed
00:29:05to turn this floor
00:29:06over to a new tenant.
00:29:08Mr. Jack here
00:29:09will be taking possession today.
00:29:11A new tenant?
00:29:12What the hell
00:29:13are you talking about?
00:29:14This floor belongs
00:29:15to my company.
00:29:16It did,
00:29:17but your lease expired
00:29:18a few days ago.
00:29:19Since it wasn't renewed,
00:29:20you're required
00:29:20to vacate immediately
00:29:21or will proceed
00:29:23with a formal eviction.
00:29:24The lease expired?
00:29:26Why wasn't it renewed?
00:29:29The lease was always
00:29:30handled personally
00:29:31by President Gray.
00:29:32I don't know
00:29:33what happened.
00:29:35President Gray,
00:29:36call the landlord.
00:29:37There has to be
00:29:38some mistake.
00:29:39We're weeks away
00:29:40from going public.
00:29:41We can't lose this office.
00:29:45Ta-da!
00:29:46This entire floor
00:29:47belongs to my family.
00:29:48I'm renting it
00:29:49to the company
00:29:49at half price.
00:29:50Now we can build
00:29:51the business
00:29:51from the heart
00:29:52of Manhattan.
00:29:52Ronnie,
00:29:53you're the best friend
00:29:54anyone could ask for.
00:29:55I promise,
00:29:56once the company
00:29:56takes off,
00:29:57I'll pay back
00:29:57every penny plus interest.
00:29:59Oh, God.
00:29:59I almost forgot.
00:30:01The landlord
00:30:02is Veronica.
00:30:05Rebecca,
00:30:07everyone's telling you
00:30:08to call the landlord.
00:30:09What's taking so long?
00:30:11Veronica!
00:30:12Why are you still here?
00:30:14You were fired!
00:30:15Leave!
00:30:16Now!
00:30:17Watch your tone.
00:30:18Miss Veronica
00:30:19owns this floor.
00:30:20She has every right
00:30:20to be here.
00:30:22She's the landlord?
00:30:26No way!
00:30:27Veronica's just an employee.
00:30:28How could she possibly
00:30:29own a floor
00:30:30in a building like this?
00:30:31Maybe you should ask
00:30:32your dear President Gray.
00:30:34He knows exactly
00:30:35who owns this floor.
00:30:39You already took
00:30:40our biggest investor.
00:30:41Now you're trying
00:30:42to 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
00:30:48whenever I want.
00:30:49Or are you about to tell me
00:30:50this building belongs
00:30:51to the company, too?
00:30:53You?
00:30:54You?
00:30:54We've been paying rent
00:30:55on this floor for years!
00:30:57Yes.
00:30:58And your lease expired.
00:31:00Fine.
00:31:01I get it.
00:31:02You want money.
00:31:03We'll renew the lease.
00:31:04Great.
00:31:05That'd be
00:31:06two million a year.
00:31:08Two million?
00:31:10Have you lost your mind?
00:31:11We were paying
00:31:12one million!
00:31:15You've got to be
00:31:16kidding me.
00:31:16This is prime
00:31:17Manhattan real estate.
00:31:19Market rates
00:31:20well over three million.
00:31:21Two million
00:31:21is a steal.
00:31:23If you can't afford it,
00:31:25I'll take it.
00:31:26Now pack your shit
00:31:27and get out.
00:31:28No, you can't do this.
00:31:30If we lose this office,
00:31:31where are we supposed to go?
00:31:32We're not leaving!
00:31:34Not leaving?
00:31:36Then don't blame my boys
00:31:37for helping you out.
00:31:43Easy, Jack.
00:31:44They're not worth
00:31:45an assault charge
00:31:46just to throw their things
00:31:47and escort them out.
00:31:49You got it, Miss Veronica.
00:31:50Start moving!
00:31:55Veronica,
00:31:56if you're angry,
00:31:57take it out on me.
00:31:58Don't punish everyone else.
00:31:59These people have
00:32:00mortgages,
00:32:00kids,
00:32:01families depending on them.
00:32:05She's right,
00:32:06Vice President Belton.
00:32:07I have kids.
00:32:08I can't lose my job.
00:32:09We've worked together
00:32:10for years.
00:32:11Please don't do this.
00:32:12Now you care?
00:32:13Where were all of you
00:32:14when Ava was humiliating me?
00:32:15When I was getting
00:32:16thrown under the bus?
00:32:17Nobody said a word then.
00:32:20Veronica,
00:32:20are you trying to ruin me?
00:32:22No.
00:32:23You did that yourself.
00:32:25You tried to steal my jet.
00:32:26You tried to push me out.
00:32:28This is the consequence.
00:32:31You...
00:32:31You bitch!
00:32:34Say whatever you want.
00:32:35I'm not going anywhere.
00:32:36And if anyone lays a finger on me,
00:32:39I'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.
00:32:44Jesus Christ.
00:32:45I've met some shameless people,
00:32:46but you two are in a league of their own.
00:32:48I ought to teach you a damn lesson.
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
00:32:58refusing to leave my property.
00:32:59Could you send someone over?
00:33:05We've reviewed the lease.
00:33:07Miss Gray,
00:33:08your tenancy has expired.
00:33:09Legally,
00:33:10you no longer have the right
00:33:10to occupy this space.
00:33:11Officer,
00:33:12there has to be some misunderstanding.
00:33:13We've been here for years.
00:33:14It doesn't matter how long
00:33:14you've been here, miss.
00:33:15Your lease expired.
00:33:16However,
00:33:16you do have the option to renew
00:33:18if 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?
00:33:24You just said two million.
00:33:25You stressed me out.
00:33:27So the price went up.
00:33:30Officer,
00:33:30are you hearing this?
00:33:32She raises the rent
00:33:33by a million dollars
00:33:34in five minutes.
00:33:35That must be illegal.
00:33:37Miss,
00:33:38it's her property.
00:33:40She can charge
00:33:41whatever she wants.
00:33:42Pay up or get out, lady.
00:33:44Office space
00:33:45in this part of Manhattan
00:33:46is practically impossible to find.
00:33:47If you can't afford it,
00:33:48I'll take it.
00:33:49Who said I can't afford it?
00:33:50I'll pay.
00:33:53Veronica,
00:33:54can't you cut me
00:33:55a little slack
00:33:55after everything
00:33:56we've been through together?
00:33:58You know what?
00:33:59For old time's sake,
00:34:00I'll knock off 10 grand.
00:34:02Let's call it 2.99 million.
00:34:04Veronica,
00:34:05this is insane.
00:34:06Maybe,
00:34:07but it's still my building.
00:34:09Get me the money
00:34:10in three days
00:34:10or pack your shit
00:34:11and get the hell out.
00:34:15You,
00:34:16you little...
00:34:17Fine,
00:34:17enjoy this while you can.
00:34:19Trust me,
00:34:19this company
00:34:20will do just fine
00:34:21without you.
00:34:21Then what's the problem?
00:34:22The company's doing so great.
00:34:24Pay me my money.
00:34:24Now.
00:34:27Just wait!
00:34:28You're gonna regret this!
00:34:30Oh,
00:34:30I already do.
00:34:31I regret not realizing sooner
00:34:33that you're nothing
00:34:34but an ungrateful,
00:34:35backstabbing little snake.
00:34:37How dare you talk
00:34:37to President Gray like that!
00:34:39She made you VP,
00:34:40she trusted you,
00:34:41promoted you,
00:34:42stood by you,
00:34:42you're the ungrateful one!
00:34:44Look at that.
00:34:45Such a loyal lapdog.
00:34:47Getting screwed over
00:34:48and still begging
00:34:49for another kick.
00:34:49Three days, Rebecca.
00:34:52That's all you've got.
00:34:57Stone cold bitch!
00:34:59After everything
00:35:00we've been through
00:35:00and she would do this to me,
00:35:02kick me while I'm down?
00:35:03What do we do now,
00:35:04President?
00:35:04All our cash is tied up
00:35:05in production,
00:35:05we don't have three million.
00:35:06Are we really getting
00:35:07thrown out in three days?
00:35:08Are you seriously asking me?
00:35:11None of this would have happened
00:35:12if you hadn't gone after Veronica
00:35:13and that damn jet!
00:35:17But you were the one
00:35:18who told me someone
00:35:19was abusing the company
00:35:19jet and ordered me investigate.
00:35:21How is this suddenly
00:35:22all my fault?
00:35:24I told you to investigate,
00:35:25not start a war with Veronica.
00:35:27Now our biggest client is gone
00:35:29and we're losing the office
00:35:30and it's all because of you!
00:35:33Fix this mess, fast!
00:35:35Or start packing your shit
00:35:37and get out!
00:35:51Veronica, this isn't over!
00:35:52Victor isn't the only client
00:35:53in the damn world!
00:36:01Steven, that venture you mentioned,
00:36:04we're very interested.
00:36:05Mr. Butler, hello, Rebecca here.
00:36:07Mr. Chan?
00:36:09Rebecca Gray?
00:36:10Yes, that's right.
00:36:12Any chance you're free for dinner?
00:36:13I'd love to discuss.
00:36:15Our IPO is moving ahead as planned.
00:36:17Perfect.
00:36:18I wanted to follow up on your interest
00:36:20investing, absolutely.
00:36:22All myself available anytime.
00:36:25See you tonight.
00:36:30As long as I lock down these deals,
00:36:32especially Butler's investment,
00:36:34we'll still go public.
00:36:35And when we do, Veronica,
00:36:37you'll regret ever crossing me.
00:36:44No, no.
00:36:46If morale collapses,
00:36:47the firm's finished.
00:36:47I can't let that happen.
00:36:51Pathetic.
00:36:51The second things go wrong,
00:36:53she falls apart.
00:36:54Maybe I should just fire her.
00:36:57Then again,
00:36:59why waste a perfectly good asset?
00:37:01I remember Butler has a weakness
00:37:03for young, pretty women.
00:37:04She's dumb as a brick,
00:37:06but she's not hard on the eyes.
00:37:12President Gray,
00:37:14I'm trying to figure something out.
00:37:16Hey,
00:37:17I didn't think the prodigy
00:37:18I 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.
00:37:25I'm just frustrated
00:37:26with the situation
00:37:27that backstabbing bitch
00:37:29Veronica put in.
00:37:32President Gray.
00:37:34Honestly,
00:37:34I admire your integrity.
00:37:36You're brave enough
00:37:37to call out what's wrong
00:37:38even when nobody else will.
00:37:39That's what makes you so special.
00:37:45Everybody,
00:37:46stop what you're doing
00:37:47and come here for a second.
00:37:50I have two announcements to make.
00:37:51First,
00:37:52about Veronica.
00:37:53That ungrateful snake
00:37:55stabbed this company in the back.
00:37:56She stole our biggest client
00:37:58and tried to squeeze us
00:37:59with a rent hike
00:38:00when we were already under pressure.
00:38:05But here's the good news.
00:38:07We're not sinking
00:38:08just because she jumped chef.
00:38:09I've already lined up meetings
00:38:10with several major clients.
00:38:12If we land these deals,
00:38:13our IPO stays on track.
00:38:15And when that happens,
00:38:16everyone here
00:38:17gets a double bonus.
00:38:20Double bonuses?
00:38:21Really?
00:38:22I knew Rebecca
00:38:23would pull through
00:38:24to hell with Veronica.
00:38:25Exactly.
00:38:26The company
00:38:27is better off without her.
00:38:28You better believe it's true.
00:38:30I'll be closing
00:38:30these deals myself tonight.
00:38:32Veronica thinks
00:38:32this company rises
00:38:33and falls with her.
00:38:35She's delusional.
00:38:36Now get back to work.
00:38:37We've got an IPO to win.
00:38:43All right, enough tears.
00:38:45Go freshen up.
00:38:46You're coming with me tonight
00:38:47to meet some big clients.
00:38:48Yes, of course.
00:38:50Thank you, President Gray.
00:38:51She's taking me
00:38:52to meet clients?
00:38:53I knew she had
00:38:54big plans for me.
00:38:56This is my time to shine.
00:39:00Mr. Jack,
00:39:01thanks for having my back today.
00:39:03Sorry you have to wait
00:39:04a little longer,
00:39:05but I promise
00:39:06in three days,
00:39:07this floor will be yours.
00:39:08That's what I like to hear.
00:39:09I'll be waiting
00:39:10for the good news,
00:39:11Miss Veronica.
00:39:16Sorry you had to sit
00:39:17through all that, Victor.
00:39:18It's been too long.
00:39:20Let me make it up
00:39:20to 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
00:39:31are not flattering.
00:39:33No kidding.
00:39:33It's a shame it took me
00:39:34this long to see them.
00:39:36Better late than never.
00:39:38But I'm curious.
00:39:40If Rebecca somehow
00:39:41comes up with the money
00:39:42in three days,
00:39:43are you really giving her
00:39:43the office back?
00:39:46Well, I own the floor.
00:39:47Whether she stays or goes
00:39:48depends entirely
00:39:49on my mood that day.
00:39:52Veronica,
00:39:52you're playing with her,
00:39:53aren't you?
00:39:53I've never claimed
00:39:54to be a saint.
00:39:55They made my life hell.
00:39:56Now it's my turn
00:39:57to return the praver.
00:40:01Excuse me, Victor.
00:40:02I need to take this.
00:40:04Miss Beltam,
00:40:06we finished gathering
00:40:06the evidence
00:40:07regarding Rebecca's
00:40:08misloose of your assets.
00:40:10Shall we file?
00:40:13Hold off for now.
00:40:14A lawsuit alone
00:40:15is letting them off
00:40:16too easy.
00:40:17What 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
00:40:24for Rebecca?
00:40:25You could say that.
00:40:26By the time I'm done,
00:40:27Rebecca will regret
00:40:28every decision she's made.
00:40:30I'm sorry, Victor.
00:40:32I'm afraid I'll have
00:40:32to cut dinner short.
00:40:33No worries.
00:40:34Anything you need,
00:40:35just call.
00:40:35You're a valued partner,
00:40:37Brenica.
00:40:37You think carefully
00:40:38about that project
00:40:39I mentioned.
00:40:40I will.
00:40:41Thanks, Victor.
00:40:42See you soon.
00:40:46Remarkable 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.
00:40:56Coincidentally,
00:40:56he's attending a dinner
00:40:57here tonight
00:40:57and would like you to join.
00:40:59Oh?
00:41:01Who's hosting it?
00:41:02Rebecca Gray.
00:41:04She's moving fast.
00:41:05Already chasing Butler's money.
00:41:07Looks like she's trying
00:41:08to lock down his investment.
00:41:09If she pull it off,
00:41:11she might just keep
00:41:12Echelon afloat.
00:41:13Tell Butler I won't
00:41:14be able to make it.
00:41:15Yes, sir.
00:41:16And one more thing,
00:41:17bring Butler up to speed
00:41:18on today's events.
00:41:19Everything Rebecca did
00:41:20to Verenica,
00:41:20don't leave out a single detail.
00:41:22Yes, sir.
00:41:25Rebecca,
00:41:27what goes around
00:41:28always comes around.
00:41:32Rebecca,
00:41:33it's been too long.
00:41:34I swear you get more beautiful
00:41:35every time I see you.
00:41:36Oh, Mr. Chan,
00:41:37you're making me blush.
00:41:39Come on, everyone,
00:41:40let's enjoy ourselves tonight.
00:41:41Rebecca,
00:41:42who's this gorgeous young lady?
00:41:44She's absolutely breathtaking.
00:41:45Just as I thought.
00:41:47The honey old bastard
00:41:48is walking right into it.
00:41:50Keep Ava smiling at him
00:41:51and that investment is mine.
00:41:53Veronica,
00:41:53you won't beat me.
00:41:55Mr. Butler,
00:41:56this is Ava,
00:41:57our newly appointed
00:41:58director of operations.
00:41:59Going forward,
00:42:00she'll be your primary
00:42:01point of contact.
00:42:02How does that sound?
00:42:02Wonderful.
00:42:04Miss Ava is quite impressive
00:42:05and remarkably young.
00:42:07By the way,
00:42:08where's Veronica?
00:42:09Yeah,
00:42:10isn't Veronica
00:42:10usually the one
00:42:11running these meetings?
00:42:12That's right,
00:42:13I've always worked
00:42:13directly with Veronica.
00:42:14Why isn't she here tonight?
00:42:16Oh,
00:42:16Veronica had a personal
00:42:17matter come up.
00:42:18She couldn't make it tonight,
00:42:19but don't worry,
00:42:19I'll take good care
00:42:20of everyone myself.
00:42:21What are you standing
00:42:22around for?
00:42:23Go pour Mr. Butler
00:42:24a drink.
00:42:29Hey,
00:42:30what the hell?
00:42:31Ava,
00:42:31what the hell
00:42:32is wrong with you?
00:42:33Why are you making a scene?
00:42:34President Gray,
00:42:35he touched me.
00:42:36Enough.
00:42:37Mr. Butler
00:42:38is one of our
00:42:38most important investors.
00:42:40He was just joking around.
00:42:41What's the big deal?
00:42:42If you upset him
00:42:43and cost us this investment,
00:42:44you'll be the one
00:42:45paying for it.
00:42:51I'm sorry,
00:42:52Mr. Butler.
00:42:53Then stop standing there
00:42:54and pour Mr. Butler
00:42:55another drink.
00:43:04Mr. Butler,
00:43:05as you know,
00:43:06we're entering
00:43:06the final stride
00:43:07before our IPO.
00:43:08About that additional
00:43:09investment you mentioned?
00:43:11You're putting me
00:43:11in a tough spot.
00:43:12My last investment
00:43:13hasn't exactly paid off yet.
00:43:17Mr. Butler,
00:43:19we're this close
00:43:20to going public.
00:43:21One more round of funding
00:43:22and you'll be looking
00:43:23at a massive return.
00:43:27You may have a point.
00:43:29Veronica was always
00:43:30impressive.
00:43:31With someone like her
00:43:32running things,
00:43:33success seems inevitable.
00:43:35Maybe I could put in
00:43:36a little more.
00:43:42You fired Veronica?
00:43:47Mr. Butler,
00:43:48please,
00:43:49let me explain.
00:43:50Explain what?
00:43:51Everyone in our circle
00:43:52is talking about it.
00:43:53You stabbed Veronica
00:43:54in the back.
00:43:54She let you use
00:43:55her private jet
00:43:56to impress clients
00:43:56and you tried
00:43:57to steal it from her?
00:43:58You fired the woman
00:43:59who built this company
00:44:00and replaced it
00:44:00with some dumb
00:44:01bimbo intern?
00:44:02I can't believe
00:44:02someone can be
00:44:03this stupid.
00:44:04He's right.
00:44:05We all know that
00:44:05Gulfstream belongs
00:44:06to Veronica.
00:44:07That's a hell of a way
00:44:08to repay someone.
00:44:09Mr. Butler,
00:44:10Mr. Chan,
00:44:11you've got it all wrong.
00:44:12Veronica broke
00:44:12company policy first.
00:44:14That's...
00:44:14Please!
00:44:15Without Veronica,
00:44:16this company has
00:44:16all value.
00:44:17I invested in her,
00:44:18not whatever this circus
00:44:19is supposed to be.
00:44:20You killed the golden goose,
00:44:22Rebecca,
00:44:22and now the eggs
00:44:23stop coming.
00:44:24My money's out
00:44:24first thing tomorrow.
00:44:26Mr. Butler,
00:44:27please.
00:44:27Veronica may be gone,
00:44:29but the team is still here.
00:44:30We can still deliver.
00:44:31Deliver what?
00:44:31I've had money
00:44:32and you're tied up
00:44:33for months
00:44:33and haven't seen
00:44:34a dime back.
00:44:34The only reason
00:44:35I stayed in
00:44:36was because I trusted
00:44:36Veronica.
00:44:37Ava,
00:44:38don't just stand there.
00:44:39Beg.
00:44:40Mr. Butler,
00:44:41please don't leave.
00:44:43Just give us
00:44:44one more chance.
00:44:45Mr. Butler,
00:44:46if you keep
00:44:47your investment,
00:44:48Ava is yours
00:44:49for tonight.
00:44:50She'll do
00:44:51anything you want.
00:44:52President Gray,
00:44:53what did you say?
00:44:56President Gray,
00:44:57you can't be serious.
00:44:59Do it for the company.
00:45:00Get Butler's investment
00:45:01and I'll make you VP.
00:45:02And let's be honest,
00:45:03he's one of the most
00:45:03powerful players
00:45:04on Wall Street.
00:45:05You could do
00:45:05a lot worse.
00:45:07That's right,
00:45:08Mr. Butler.
00:45:08Whatever you want
00:45:09tonight,
00:45:10I'm at your service.
00:45:12Jesus Christ.
00:45:13You two really
00:45:14have no shame.
00:45:15Sure,
00:45:15I like beautiful women.
00:45:16What man doesn't?
00:45:17But do I look stupid
00:45:18enough to throw away
00:45:19millions for a bimbo?
00:45:24You've really
00:45:25hit rock bottom.
00:45:26Primping out
00:45:26your own employee
00:45:27for money?
00:45:28That's disgusting.
00:45:29Exactly.
00:45:30You betrayed the partner
00:45:31who helped build
00:45:32your company.
00:45:32Who's to say
00:45:33we won't be next?
00:45:34Wait!
00:45:34Please don't go.
00:45:35We can renegotiate.
00:45:37Whatever terms you want,
00:45:37we'll make it work.
00:45:38Don't walk away.
00:45:39Rebecca,
00:45:39money comes and goes.
00:45:41Character doesn't.
00:45:42I wouldn't trust you
00:45:42with a damn penny.
00:45:47What?
00:45:48Why does everyone
00:45:49believe that bitch
00:45:49instead of me?
00:45:50I'm the president!
00:45:51I built this company!
00:45:55Rebecca,
00:45:56please calm down.
00:45:57We still have plenty
00:45:57of clients in the pipeline.
00:45:59And once those final
00:45:59payments come in next month,
00:46:00we'll be fine.
00:46:01We'll have the rent money.
00:46:03You're right.
00:46:04We still have money
00:46:05coming in.
00:46:07Veronica,
00:46:09don't think this company
00:46:10can't survive without you.
00:46:11I'm not losing.
00:46:13Not to you.
00:46:17Miss Belton,
00:46:18these are the legal filings
00:46:19against Rebecca
00:46:20and her company.
00:46:21Please have a look.
00:46:22Thank you for coming out
00:46:23this late, Mr. Davis.
00:46:24Just doing my job.
00:46:25As for the damage
00:46:26Ava caused,
00:46:27I've had everything appraised.
00:46:28Total damages
00:46:28come to $8.5 million.
00:46:30We'll be seeking
00:46:31full compensation.
00:46:32Excellent.
00:46:32And the office lease?
00:46:34Recovering the discounted rent
00:46:35will be difficult.
00:46:36You agreed to those terms
00:46:36voluntarily.
00:46:37However,
00:46:38for the past three years,
00:46:39you've personally covered
00:46:39utilities,
00:46:40maintenance,
00:46:41and building expenses.
00:46:42We can recover every penny.
00:46:43Good.
00:46:44But I want to add
00:46:45one more claim.
00:46:46I'm suing for defamation.
00:46:47This notice branded me
00:46:49a thief
00:46:49and dragged my name
00:46:50through the mud.
00:46:50I want them held
00:46:51accountable for every word.
00:46:53Absolutely.
00:46:53This is textbook defamation.
00:46:55They presented fabricated
00:46:56allegations as fact.
00:46:57They're going down.
00:46:58Perfect.
00:46:59File everything immediately.
00:47:00I want Rebecca paying back
00:47:02every cent she owes me
00:47:03with interest.
00:47:04Understood.
00:47:05I'll work through the night
00:47:06and file first thing tomorrow.
00:47:12President Gray,
00:47:13these are the files
00:47:13for all our key accounts.
00:47:15I've organized
00:47:15everything for you.
00:47:16Good.
00:47:17As long as we keep
00:47:19these clients,
00:47:19the final payments
00:47:20should clear within two weeks.
00:47:21That'll buy us
00:47:22some breathing room.
00:47:23But Veronica only gave us
00:47:24three days.
00:47:24Are we really going
00:47:25to get kicked out?
00:47:26Absolutely not.
00:47:27If we get thrown out,
00:47:28we'll be the laughing stock
00:47:29of the industry.
00:47:30It's only three million.
00:47:31I'll get a loan if I have to.
00:47:32Once the payments come in,
00:47:33we'll pay it back.
00:47:35President,
00:47:35this is bad.
00:47:37Really bad.
00:47:38Would everyone stop panicking
00:47:40for five damn minutes?
00:47:41What happened now?
00:47:42All our major clients
00:47:43just called.
00:47:43They want out.
00:47:44They're terminating
00:47:45their contracts.
00:47:47What?
00:47:50What the hell happened?
00:47:51Everything was fine yesterday.
00:47:53Because they were
00:47:54Veronica's clients.
00:47:55Every single one.
00:47:56She brought them in
00:47:57through her own connections.
00:47:57The whole industry knows
00:47:59you fired Veronica
00:47:59and tried to take her jet.
00:48:01They don't trust this company anymore,
00:48:02so they're bailing.
00:48:03Veronica again!
00:48:05This is all because of that bitch!
00:48:07President Gray,
00:48:08we're screwed!
00:48:09Fendler just sent formal notice.
00:48:11He's pulling his investment,
00:48:12and he wants his
00:48:14ten million back immediately.
00:48:15He's pulling out?
00:48:17Ten million?
00:48:18Can he do that?
00:48:19Somebody call him
00:48:20and work something out.
00:48:20We can't get a hold of him.
00:48:22Veronica always handled
00:48:23Butler personally.
00:48:24I've barely spoken to the man.
00:48:25His lawyers are already involved.
00:48:27If we don't return
00:48:28ten million within three days,
00:48:29they're taking us to court!
00:48:32We're screwed.
00:48:33We can't even cover rent,
00:48:35and now we owe ten million dollars?
00:48:36Forget the IPO.
00:48:37At this rate,
00:48:38we'll be bankrupt within weeks.
00:48:39I'm updating my resume tonight.
00:48:40Everybody shut up!
00:48:42This company isn't dead yet!
00:48:43I'm still standing here,
00:48:44aren't I?
00:48:49Who are you people?
00:48:58Rebecca Gray?
00:48:59Y-yes, that's me.
00:49:01We're with the Manhattan District Court.
00:49:02Miss Belton has filed suit
00:49:03against you and your company.
00:49:05The claims include
00:49:05unlawful possession
00:49:06of private property,
00:49:07property damage,
00:49:08and defamation.
00:49:09Please accept service.
00:49:10Your court date in three days.
00:49:16What?
00:49:17Veronica actually sued me?
00:49:18Please sign here,
00:49:19Ms. Gray.
00:49:24So this is how far
00:49:25you're willing to take it.
00:49:26You want to destroy me?
00:49:27You want war?
00:49:29Fine.
00:49:30See 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
00:49:37is backed by hard evidence.
00:49:38You're dead in the water.
00:49:39We can't afford this.
00:49:40The damages,
00:49:40the rent,
00:49:41the legal fees.
00:49:42We're screwed.
00:49:45Everyone, calm down.
00:49:46President Gray
00:49:47has gotten us through worse.
00:49:48If we stick together,
00:49:49we'll get through this too.
00:49:50And once the company goes public,
00:49:52we'll all be rewarded.
00:49:53You seriously have the nerve
00:49:55to say that?
00:49:56If you hadn't messed with Veronica,
00:49:57this company wouldn't
00:49:58be falling apart.
00:49:59Exactly!
00:50:00You spent three months
00:50:01kissing ass
00:50:01and climbing the ladder?
00:50:02Well, congrats!
00:50:03You got your promotion
00:50:04and you dragged
00:50:05the whole company
00:50:06down with you!
00:50:07Why is everyone blaming me?
00:50:08I reported Veronica
00:50:09because I was protecting
00:50:10the company!
00:50:11How was I supposed to know
00:50:11the jet was hers?
00:50:12Didn't you think
00:50:13to check the facts
00:50:14before blowing everything up?
00:50:15Everything started with you.
00:50:16Own it!
00:50:17I didn't know
00:50:17the jet was hers,
00:50:18but you have been
00:50:19with the company
00:50:19long enough to know.
00:50:21Why didn't any of you
00:50:21stand up for her?
00:50:22If just one person had,
00:50:23none 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?
00:50:37Oh...
00:50:40No, that's not what I meant.
00:50:41If that's not what you meant,
00:50:42then this mess is on you.
00:50:43Exactly.
00:50:44You've got two options.
00:50:45Either bring those clients back
00:50:46or bring Veronica back.
00:50:48Me?
00:50:48I just got promoted.
00:50:50I don't know any clients.
00:50:51How am I supposed
00:50:52to bring them back?
00:50:53Then go get Veronica.
00:50:54Why should I be
00:50:55the one begging her?
00:50:56Because this company
00:50:57is about to go under.
00:50:58You're the new operations director.
00:51:00If you can't bring
00:51:00Veronica back,
00:51:01then that's on you.
00:51:04President Gray?
00:51:05Are you hearing this?
00:51:07What's that supposed to mean,
00:51:08Director Sutton?
00:51:09You make the mess,
00:51:09then expect the president
00:51:10to clean it up for you?
00:51:11No, that's not what I meant.
00:51:13The company is out of options.
00:51:14Cash flow is collapsing.
00:51:16Clients are gone.
00:51:17Veronica is the only person
00:51:18who can save us now.
00:51:19Let's see if this idiot
00:51:20can fix the disaster she created.
00:51:22Enough!
00:51:23All of you!
00:51:24Ava,
00:51:25this started with you,
00:51:26so you'll fix it.
00:51:27Go bring Veronica back.
00:51:28But President!
00:51:29Ava, I know this feels unfair,
00:51:30but it's for the company.
00:51:32Bring Veronica back.
00:51:33Help us survive.
00:51:33When we go public,
00:51:34I'll make you the VP.
00:51:40Good luck,
00:51:41Director Sutton.
00:51:42All of our livelihoods
00:51:43are riding hour now.
00:51:44Fine!
00:51:44I'll go!
00:51:45And when I bring Veronica back,
00:51:47let's see what all of you
00:51:48have to say then!
00:51:54Veronica,
00:51:54I'd say we've got a deal.
00:51:59Pleasure doing business
00:52:00with you, Victor.
00:52:05Hey, Veronica.
00:52:07Can we talk?
00:52:09Of course.
00:52:15Veronica, I'm sorry.
00:52:16I should have checked the facts
00:52:18before reporting you.
00:52:20I was wrong.
00:52:22Wow.
00:52:23What did Rebecca promise you this time?
00:52:25Must be one hell of a promotion
00:52:27to 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,
00:52:35stop coming after the company.
00:52:37No.
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?
00:52:45Ava, let's be honest.
00:52:46If I were still the Veronica
00:52:47you humiliated in front
00:52:48of the entire company,
00:52:50would you be here
00:52:51apologizing right now?
00:52:56You wouldn't.
00:52:57You'd be sitting in my office
00:52:59right now bragging about
00:53:00how you took down the VP.
00:53:01I was following company policy.
00:53:03I made a mistake.
00:53:04I should have looked into it
00:53:05more carefully.
00:53:06That's all.
00:53:08I haven't done anything wrong either.
00:53:10I'm taking back what's mine.
00:53:12I'm suing the people
00:53:13who wronged me.
00:53:14So tell me,
00:53:15what exactly do you think
00:53:16I owe you?
00:53:18You're unbelievably selfish.
00:53:20It's just a jet.
00:53:21Because of you
00:53:22the company's falling apart.
00:53:24You got your revenge.
00:53:25But what about everyone else?
00:53:27When the company collapses
00:53:29how are they supposed
00:53:29to support their families?
00:53:35I didn't destroy the company.
00:53:37You and Rekha did.
00:53:39The employees aren't my problem.
00:53:40And if the company goes under,
00:53:42they'll find another job.
00:53:44Just like I did.
00:53:49Miss Ava,
00:53:50you're still very young.
00:53:53What is that supposed to mean?
00:53:57Rebecca fed you a fairy tale
00:53:58and sent you here to beg.
00:54:01The sad part is,
00:54:03you bought it.
00:54:04Who 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
00:54:11to get ahead.
00:54:12And when your ambition's bigger
00:54:13than your ability,
00:54:15you crash.
00:54:16You're saying I'm not good enough?
00:54:18If you are,
00:54:19you wouldn't have company
00:54:19in three weeks.
00:54:20And you definitely wouldn't be here
00:54:22begging me to save it.
00:54:29Honestly,
00:54:30you're so painfully naive
00:54:31that 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,
00:54:39start from the bottom,
00:54:39and learn how business
00:54:40actually works.
00:54:41No way!
00:54:42I work too hard
00:54:43to get where I am.
00:54:44I'm not going back
00:54:45to fetching coffee
00:54:45and making coffee.
00:54:46And stop pretending you care.
00:54:48If you're so great,
00:54:49come back.
00:54:49I'll give you your VP job
00:54:50back myself.
00:54:51Keep it.
00:54:53I'm building my own company.
00:54:55And we're done here.
00:54:56You can go now.
00:54:57You're a selfish bitch, Veronica.
00:55:00You think you're better
00:55:01than everyone
00:55:02because you're rich?
00:55:03Just wait.
00:55:04One day,
00:55:05you'll regret this.
00:55:11She really is Rebecca
00:55:13all over again.
00:55:14Arrogant,
00:55:15greedy,
00:55:16and far dumber
00:55:17than she realizes.
00:55:19They're not worth
00:55:19another minute
00:55:20of our time.
00:55:21Now, Victor,
00:55:22shall we get back
00:55:23to building
00:55:23something successful?
00:55:31Well?
00:55:32Did you see Veronica?
00:55:33Is she coming back?
00:55:36President Gray,
00:55:36I...
00:55:39You're useless!
00:55:40I made you director!
00:55:41And you can't even
00:55:42handle one simple task!
00:55:43I tried.
00:55:44I apologized.
00:55:45I begged her,
00:55:46but she wouldn't listen.
00:55:47I don't care!
00:55:48If Veronica doesn't
00:55:49come back,
00:55:49this company is finished!
00:55:51Go find her again!
00:55:52If she won't listen,
00:55:53get on your knees!
00:55:54Stay there until
00:55:54she changes her mind!
00:55:58You want me to kneel
00:56:00to her?
00:56:02Damn right!
00:56:03This mess
00:56:04started with you!
00:56:05Now fix it!
00:56:07I don't care what
00:56:07you have to do!
00:56:08Just bring her back!
00:56:10I reported her
00:56:11because I thought
00:56:12I was protecting
00:56:12the company!
00:56:14Save it!
00:56:15I don't want excuses!
00:56:16You're the director now!
00:56:17Fix the damn problem!
00:56:21What now?
00:56:22Can't you see
00:56:22I'm in the middle
00:56:23of something?
00:56:25President Gray,
00:56:26three more employees
00:56:27from the business team
00:56:28just resigned.
00:56:29Unbelievable!
00:56:31A bunch of
00:56:31ungrateful cowards!
00:56:32The second things
00:56:33get tough,
00:56:33they run!
00:56:35President,
00:56:36everyone can see
00:56:36where this is headed.
00:56:37Without Veronica,
00:56:38this company won't survive.
00:56:39People have families
00:56:40to support.
00:56:41You can't really blame them.
00:56:42What's that supposed to mean?
00:56:44Are you quitting too?
00:56:46No, President,
00:56:46I don't want to leave.
00:56:47But given the situation,
00:56:50you and Veronica
00:56:51were best friends once.
00:56:53Ava couldn't convince her.
00:56:55Maybe
00:56:55you should try
00:56:56talking to her.
00:57:00You want me to
00:57:01beg that bitch?
00:57:02President Gray,
00:57:03it's our only chance.
00:57:05Put your pride aside.
00:57:06Give her a real apology.
00:57:09Remind her of everything
00:57:10you've been through together.
00:57:11She might listen.
00:57:12What the hell
00:57:13is that supposed to mean?
00:57:14We're running out of time.
00:57:15If more people quit,
00:57:16it won't matter
00:57:17whether Veronica
00:57:17comes back or not.
00:57:18By then,
00:57:18it'll be too late.
00:57:20Enough.
00:57:21Both of you, out.
00:57:22Let me think.
00:57:30Veronica,
00:57:31it's me.
00:57:32Fine.
00:57:33You won.
00:57:34I was wrong.
00:57:34You can come back now.
00:57:36Rebecca,
00:57:36is that really
00:57:37your idea of an apology?
00:57:39Veronica,
00:57:40I'm sorry.
00:57:41I know I messed up.
00:57:42Please come back
00:57:43and help me.
00:57:44No,
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.
00:57:49If you want Ava gone,
00:57:50I'll fire her right now.
00:57:51Just say the word.
00:57:52Ronnie,
00:57:53please give me
00:57:53one more chance.
00:57:54I already gave him a chance.
00:57:56You threw it away.
00:57:57Veronica,
00:57:57just listen to me.
00:57:58I don't want to hear it.
00:58:00Save your excuses
00:58:01for the judge.
00:58:03Veronica,
00:58:03what the hell
00:58:04do you want from me?
00:58:05I swallowed my pride
00:58:07and apologized.
00:58:08Do you really have to
00:58:08drive me into the ground?
00:58:10Rebecca,
00:58:11let's be clear.
00:58:12I'm not destroying you.
00:58:13You did that yourself.
00:58:14Every mess you're in,
00:58:15you made it.
00:58:16This is insane.
00:58:17What do you get out
00:58:17of destroying the company?
00:58:18You spent three years
00:58:19building it, too.
00:58:20Are you really willing
00:58:21to burn it all down?
00:58:23I never wanted to burn
00:58:23anything down.
00:58:24You lit the fire.
00:58:25You just didn't notice
00:58:26it until the flames
00:58:27reached you.
00:58:36I'm screwed.
00:58:37The company's falling apart.
00:58:39And Rebecca will throw me
00:58:41under the bus
00:58:42the second she gets the chance.
00:58:43I'll never be able
00:58:44to get a job again.
00:58:47No.
00:58:48Hell no.
00:58:49I worked too hard
00:58:49for this job.
00:58:50I'm not going back
00:58:50to being some nobody.
00:58:54The company just needs money.
00:58:55That's it.
00:58:56If I can save the company,
00:58:58Rebecca won't dare fire me.
00:59:00And then everyone
00:59:01will finally see
00:59:01I was right.
00:59:03Wait.
00:59:05I've got it.
00:59:07Victor Sterling.
00:59:09He's one of the biggest
00:59:10players on Wall Street.
00:59:12If I get him on board,
00:59:14everything changes.
00:59:20Veronica,
00:59:22you ungrateful bitch.
00:59:24The number you are trying
00:59:26to reach
00:59:26is unavailable.
00:59:28She blocked me?
00:59:29That bitch
00:59:30actually blocked me?
00:59:36Damn you, Veronica.
00:59:38You cold-hearted bitch.
00:59:39I hope karma
00:59:40tears your life apart.
00:59:43What am I supposed
00:59:44to do now?
00:59:45Without Veronica,
00:59:45this company is finished.
00:59:47Do I really have to
00:59:47get on my knees
00:59:48and beg her
00:59:48in front of everyone?
00:59:50Fine.
00:59:51Then I'll beg.
00:59:57Who cares about my pride?
00:59:58If it saves the company,
00:59:59I'll do whatever it takes.
01:00:00And once the company is safe,
01:00:02I'll deal with Veronica later.
01:00:04But first,
01:00:05that useless idiot Ava
01:00:06has to go.
01:00:11Maybe if I give Veronica
01:00:12a scapegoat,
01:00:13she'll back off.
01:00:15HR,
01:00:16draft a termination notice.
01:00:17I want Ava gone
01:00:18by the end of the day.
01:00:18Just to confirm.
01:00:19President Gray,
01:00:20you'd like Director Sutton
01:00:21terminated immediately?
01:00:24President!
01:00:25I found a way
01:00:25to save the company!
01:00:32President Gray?
01:00:34Were you about to fire me?
01:00:37I was talking about
01:00:38Ava from tech,
01:00:40not you.
01:00:41Come on!
01:00:41You're my future VP.
01:00:43Now tell me about
01:00:43this brilliant plan of yours.
01:00:48Victor,
01:00:49he's about to partner
01:00:50with Veronica, right?
01:00:51Then we take him away
01:00:53from her.
01:00:54One deal is enough
01:00:55to turn things around.
01:00:56Take him away?
01:00:58Victor Sterling
01:00:58is loyal to a fault.
01:01:00And right now,
01:01:00he's firmly in Veronica's corner.
01:01:02Why would he ever choose us?
01:01:04Not willingly.
01:01:05But everyone has
01:01:06something to lose.
01:01:07We just need leverage.
01:01:09Leverage?
01:01:10What kind of leverage?
01:01:11Simple.
01:01:12We invite him out,
01:01:13spike his drink.
01:01:14Once he's out of it,
01:01:16I'll take him back
01:01:16to a hotel room
01:01:17and get some photos.
01:01:18Once we get those,
01:01:19he'll do whatever we ask.
01:01:21Either he cooperates,
01:01:22or he explains the pictures.
01:01:27Ava, you're a genius!
01:01:29If we land Victor,
01:01:31we solve everything.
01:01:34The rent,
01:01:34the clients,
01:01:35all of it.
01:01:36And Veronica
01:01:37will never see it coming.
01:01:40Mr. Sterling,
01:01:41hello,
01:01:42it's Rebecca.
01:01:43Rebecca,
01:01:43I believe we've said
01:01:44all there to say.
01:01:45I'm busy.
01:01:46Wait, please!
01:01:47Don't hang up!
01:01:49Mr. Sterling,
01:01:50I'm calling to apologize.
01:01:52To you and to Veronica.
01:01:53Bit late for that,
01:01:55isn't it?
01:01:55I never wanted things
01:01:56to end up like this.
01:01:58I trusted the wrong people.
01:02:00Ava kept feeding me lies
01:02:01and turning me against Veronica.
01:02:02By the time I realized
01:02:03what was happening,
01:02:04the damage was done.
01:02:06But I've finally seen her
01:02:07for who she really is.
01:02:09I terminated her this morning.
01:02:11You actually fired her?
01:02:13Absolutely.
01:02:14Mr. Sterling,
01:02:15I truly regret everything.
01:02:16Please,
01:02:17just give me one chance
01:02:18to make things right.
01:02:20Fine.
01:02:21For Veronica's sake,
01:02:22I'll hear what you have to say.
01:02:25That's wonderful.
01:02:27Tonight,
01:02:287 o'clock,
01:02:29the Stardust Restaurant
01:02:29on 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
01:02:36the arrangements right now.
01:02:38Ava,
01:02:38if this gets the company
01:02:39through the crisis
01:02:39and we make it to IPO,
01:02:40that VP spot
01:02:41is definitely yours.
01:02:43President Gray,
01:02:44you can count on me.
01:02:45I won't let you down.
01:03:03Victor,
01:03:05once I have something on you,
01:03:06let's see how tough you act then.
01:03:11Mr. Sterling,
01:03:12it's so good to see you.
01:03:15Mr. Sterling,
01:03:17we've definitely
01:03:18had our differences.
01:03:19I was hoping
01:03:20we could clear the air.
01:03:23I'm listening.
01:03:24Honestly,
01:03:26this whole mess
01:03:27started with Ava.
01:03:28If it weren't for her,
01:03:29none of this would have happened.
01:03:33Is that so?
01:03:35Absolutely.
01:03:36She brought me fake evidence
01:03:38and manipulated me.
01:03:39That's what called the problems
01:03:40between Veronica and me.
01:03:42But don't worry.
01:03:42I've already fired her.
01:03:44Mr. Sterling,
01:03:45I'm asking for one chance.
01:03:47Please arrange a meeting
01:03:48with Veronica.
01:03:49I want to explain
01:03:50everything face to face.
01:03:51Fine.
01:03:52I will ask,
01:03:52but if Veronica doesn't buy it,
01:03:54you're on your own.
01:03:56And if Veronica still refuses,
01:03:57I promise I won't bother you again.
01:03:59Mr. Sterling,
01:04:00toast.
01:04:01Thank you for being so generous.
01:04:10Well,
01:04:11if that's everything,
01:04:12I'll be on my way.
01:04:13Of course,
01:04:14Mr. Sterling.
01:04:15Take care.
01:04:19Why am I so dizzy?
01:04:22You put something in my drink,
01:04:24didn'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
01:05:00in a hotel room?
01:05:01Use your imagination.
01:05:03You sick bastards.
01:05:05You drugged me?
01:05:09Shut up, Victor.
01:05:10You're dropping Veronica
01:05:12and signing with us.
01:05:13That's right.
01:05:14And you're going to tell everyone
01:05:16that Veronica lied.
01:05:17You'll say the only reason
01:05:19you partnered with her
01:05:20was because she slept with you.
01:05:21Not happening!
01:05:23Then these photos go public
01:05:24tomorrow morning.
01:05:26A Wall Street titan
01:05:27caught in a hotel room scandal.
01:05:29And you know what?
01:05:31Ava might even claim
01:05:32it wasn't consensual.
01:05:34Tell me, Victor,
01:05:35how do you think that plays
01:05:36on the evening news?
01:05:38You're both psych.
01:05:39Fine.
01:05:40I'll sign.
01:05:40But I'll never lie
01:05:41about Veronica.
01:05:42Release the photos if you want.
01:05:44You'll destroy yourselves
01:05:44right along with me.
01:05:46You!
01:05:46President Gray, relax.
01:05:47I have a better idea.
01:05:49What better idea?
01:05:52If we can get leverage on Victor,
01:05:53we can get leverage
01:05:54on Veronica too.
01:05:55You mean,
01:05:56the second Victor signs with us,
01:05:57Veronica will come
01:05:58looking for answers.
01:05:59When she does,
01:05:59we'll be ready.
01:06:00Then we'll have everything
01:06:01we need to ruin her.
01:06:02Good.
01:06:02That's exactly what we'll do.
01:06:04I want her humiliated
01:06:05in front of everyone.
01:06:06I'll contact my supplier.
01:06:08This time I'm getting
01:06:09the strongest stuff they have.
01:06:10When we're done with her,
01:06:11she'll be finished.
01:06:13These two psychos
01:06:14drugged me without
01:06:14a second thought.
01:06:16There's no way
01:06:17they'll stop it, Veronica.
01:06:18I need to warn her
01:06:20before it's too late.
01:06:36Veronica, good evening.
01:06:37The day after tomorrow
01:06:38is our big project
01:06:39signing ceremony.
01:06:40As your former partner,
01:06:41I'd love for you to be there
01:06:42and witness our comeback firsthand.
01:06:45No thanks.
01:06:46Find someone else to annoy.
01:06:48You don't even want to know
01:06:49who we're signing?
01:06:50Couldn't care less.
01:06:52Victor.
01:06:53Surprised?
01:06:54He already agreed
01:06:55to partner with us.
01:06:56What?
01:06:56That's impossible.
01:06:58Victor would never
01:06:58work with you.
01:06:59How cute.
01:07:00In business,
01:07:01there are no permanent enemies.
01:07:03Only permanent profits.
01:07:04Signing ceremony.
01:07:05Tomorrow, 10 a.m.
01:07:07The Manhattan Intercontinental.
01:07:08Don't be late, Veronica.
01:07:09I'd hate for you
01:07:10to miss watching me win.
01:07:13Something's off.
01:07:14Victor is a man of integrity.
01:07:15He made it crystal clear
01:07:16he wanted nothing
01:07:17to do with Rebecca.
01:07:18There's no way
01:07:18he changed his mind overnight.
01:07:20Something happened.
01:07:21And whatever it is,
01:07:23it stinks.
01:07:34Victor's not answering.
01:07:35Definitely not normal.
01:07:38No.
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
01:07:47Rebecca,
01:07:48Ava,
01:07:48and Victor
01:07:49every move they've made
01:07:49in the last 24 hours.
01:07:51No problem,
01:07:52Mrs. Veronica.
01:07:53I'll get right on it.
01:07:59Can you believe it?
01:08:00Victor actually signed
01:08:01with Rebecca.
01:08:02A few days ago,
01:08:03they looked ready
01:08:04to kill each other.
01:08:05Look at Victor.
01:08:06Biggest deal of the year
01:08:07and he looks like
01:08:08he's headed to a funeral.
01:08:09Something's definitely off.
01:08:10Even strangers
01:08:11can see something's wrong.
01:08:13Yeah,
01:08:13this stinks.
01:08:18Mr. Sterling.
01:08:22Veronica,
01:08:23what are you doing here?
01:08:24You need to leave.
01:08:25Now.
01:08:26This place isn't safe.
01:08:28Victor,
01:08:29what the hell is going on?
01:08:30Why would you suddenly
01:08:31agree to sign with Rebecca?
01:08:35Don't ask.
01:08:36Just get out of here
01:08:38and stay away
01:08:39from Rebecca and Ava.
01:08:41Those two are planning something.
01:08:45What are they planning?
01:08:47I don't know the details,
01:08:48but they've set a trap for you.
01:08:50Veronica,
01:08:51I'm sorry.
01:08:51I can't go through with our deal.
01:08:53Please,
01:08:54just leave.
01:08:57Victor,
01:08:59tell me the truth.
01:09:02Stop asking.
01:09:03Those women have no limits.
01:09:05I'm not dragging you into this.
01:09:13Mrs. Veronica,
01:09:14we got everything.
01:09:16Last night,
01:09:16Rebecca and Ava
01:09:17drugged Mr. Sterling
01:09:19at a restaurant.
01:09:20Then they took him to a hotel
01:09:21and photographed him
01:09:22to blackmail him.
01:09:24They drugged him?
01:09:25Those sick,
01:09:25desperate bitches
01:09:26actually did it.
01:09:27I have proof.
01:09:28Photos of Rebecca
01:09:29drugging Victor,
01:09:30photos of them moving him
01:09:31into the hotel unconscious,
01:09:32and records showing
01:09:33Ava purchased the drugs.
01:09:35Good work.
01:09:40Victor,
01:09:41you don't have to be afraid anymore.
01:09:44What?
01:09:45Because I already
01:09:46have everything.
01:09:47Proof they drugged you,
01:09:49proof they blackmailed you,
01:09:52and enough evidence
01:09:53to bury both of them.
01:09:55Wait.
01:09:56Are you serious?
01:10:00Mr. Sterling,
01:10:01we've got them.
01:10:02The evidence is airtight.
01:10:03Drugging someone
01:10:04and blackmailing them
01:10:05for business leverage
01:10:06is freliny.
01:10:09Good.
01:10:10Those evil bitches
01:10:11are finished.
01:10:11I swear,
01:10:12I'll do everything I can
01:10:14to see them behind bars.
01:10:16Miss Veronica,
01:10:17there's more.
01:10:18Ava spiked your drink
01:10:18earlier tonight.
01:10:19I've already switched the glasses.
01:10:25They want to play dirty?
01:10:27Fine.
01:10:27Let's see how they like
01:10:28drinking their own poison.
01:10:35Well,
01:10:36if it isn't our former VP.
01:10:38Tell me, Veronica.
01:10:40Watching Victor sign with me
01:10:41must be killing you.
01:10:43Veronica,
01:10:44I owe you an apology.
01:10:46I shouldn't have treated you
01:10:47the way I did.
01:10:48Let's put the past behind us.
01:10:50Exactly.
01:10:50Drink this
01:10:51and we can call it even.
01:10:53Hell,
01:10:53I might even be generous enough
01:10:55to give you your old job back.
01:10:57The detective already
01:10:58switched the drinks.
01:10:59Let's see who's laughing
01:11:00in ten minutes.
01:11:09I drank the champagne.
01:11:12But don't confuse that
01:11:13with forgiveness.
01:11:15Neither of you deserve it.
01:11:18That's okay.
01:11:19In a few minutes,
01:11:20you'll be the one begging us.
01:11:22I can't wait.
01:11:23Maybe you'll finally learn
01:11:25how to get on your knees
01:11:26and apologize.
01:11:27Really?
01:11:29Then let's sit back
01:11:30and enjoy the show.
01:11:31It's taking so long.
01:11:32She should have reacted by now.
01:11:37Is something wrong?
01:11:39You both look confused.
01:11:41Tell me,
01:11:42are you wondering
01:11:43why I drank the champagne
01:11:44and nothing happened?
01:11:48How did you know?
01:11:50Not only did I know
01:11:51you spiked the drink,
01:11:53I had our glasses switched
01:11:54before you got here.
01:11:55The drug champagne,
01:11:56you drank it yourself.
01:11:58What?
01:12:02Veronica!
01:12:02You drugged Rebecca
01:12:04in front of everyone!
01:12:05That's attempted murder!
01:12:08What's happening?
01:12:09Did somebody poison her?
01:12:09The only people
01:12:10drugging anyone
01:12:11are these two.
01:12:13Last night,
01:12:14Rebecca and Ava
01:12:15drugged Mr. Sterling
01:12:16to force him
01:12:17into a business deal.
01:12:18They dragged him
01:12:20unconscious
01:12:20into a hotel room,
01:12:22then staged fake
01:12:23bedroom photos
01:12:24to blackmail him.
01:12:25That explains everything.
01:12:27I knew Victor
01:12:27would have never
01:12:28partnered with Rebecca
01:12:29willingly.
01:12:31Jesus Christ,
01:12:33these women
01:12:33are completely unhinged.
01:12:38Liar!
01:12:39That's a lie!
01:12:40You're framing me!
01:12:42You're the one
01:12:43who drugged me!
01:12:45Every word
01:12:46Veronica said
01:12:47is true.
01:12:48They drugged me
01:12:49and forced me
01:12:50into this deal.
01:12:51And today,
01:12:51they tried to do
01:12:52the same thing
01:12:52to Veronica.
01:12:53Now she's got a taste
01:12:54of her own medicine!
01:12:56You have no proof!
01:12:58Right now,
01:12:59Rebecca is the one
01:13:00who's drugged.
01:13:02Proof?
01:13:03You want proof?
01:13:05Fine.
01:13:06Let's give everyone
01:13:07a front road seat.
01:13:14Just because you have photos
01:13:15doesn't prove
01:13:16a damn thing!
01:13:17Mr. Sterling was drunk!
01:13:19We were helping him
01:13:19get back to his hotel room!
01:13:21What does that have to do
01:13:22with you drugging Rebecca?
01:13:25She has a point.
01:13:26Those photos alone
01:13:27don't prove anything.
01:13:29Maybe Rebecca
01:13:30was actually trying
01:13:30to help him.
01:13:31Still lying?
01:13:33Fine.
01:13:33Let's finish this.
01:13:58What?
01:13:59How the hell
01:13:59did you get that footage?
01:14:01No.
01:14:03No, no, no.
01:14:04We're screwed.
01:14:08There it is.
01:14:09Caught in 4K.
01:14:12So tell me,
01:14:14what lie
01:14:15were you planning
01:14:15to sell next?
01:14:17Drugging
01:14:18and blackmailing
01:14:19to close a deal?
01:14:20You two belong
01:14:21in a prison cell,
01:14:22not a boardroom.
01:14:23I'll make damn sure
01:14:24you rot in there!
01:14:26You won't be
01:14:27the only one.
01:14:28The police
01:14:28should be here
01:14:29any minute.
01:14:38Rebecca Gray,
01:14:39Ava Sutton.
01:14:40You're under arrest
01:14:41for blackmail,
01:14:42criminal coercion,
01:14:42and administering
01:14:43an intoxicating substance.
01:14:44You're coming with us.
01:14:53Veronica,
01:14:54please!
01:14:55Please give me
01:14:56one more chance!
01:14:57I know I was wrong!
01:14:58I swear,
01:14:59I know I was wrong!
01:15:02I'm sorry!
01:15:04I lost my mind!
01:15:07I never should have
01:15:07listened to Rebecca!
01:15:08Please tell them
01:15:09to let me go!
01:15:10I swear,
01:15:10I'll never do anything
01:15:11like this again!
01:15:15You lying cut!
01:15:16This was your idea!
01:15:17You wanted the photos!
01:15:18Now you're dumping
01:15:19it all on me!
01:15:21Oh, please!
01:15:22You started all this!
01:15:23You wanted Veronica's jet!
01:15:25You told me
01:15:26to go after her!
01:15:26You dangled promotions
01:15:28in front of me!
01:15:29If it weren't for you!
01:15:30None of this
01:15:31would have happened!
01:15:31Even now,
01:15:32you're still blaming
01:15:34everyone but yourselves.
01:15:37Veronica!
01:15:37For the sake
01:15:38of our friendship!
01:15:39Please!
01:15:40Just once,
01:15:41I'll give you
01:15:42the company!
01:15:42I'll walk away!
01:15:43I'll leave the country!
01:15:44You'll never have
01:15:45to see me again!
01:15:47Friendship?
01:15:47Where was that friendship
01:15:48when you called me a thief?
01:15:49When you tried
01:15:50to steal my jet?
01:15:51When you trashed my name
01:15:52and turned everyone
01:15:53against me?
01:15:53Now that you're cornered
01:15:54suddenly we're friends again?
01:15:56Three years ago,
01:15:56you were drowning.
01:15:57I pulled you out.
01:15:59I paid your debts.
01:15:59I opened doors for you.
01:16:01I gave you my trust
01:16:02and love and support.
01:16:04It treated you like family,
01:16:05but you treated me
01:16:06like an opportunity.
01:16:08The more I gave,
01:16:09the more you wanted.
01:16:10You didn't want a friend.
01:16:12You wanted a ladder
01:16:14and as soon as you got
01:16:15to the top,
01:16:16you tried to kick it away
01:16:17from beneath you.
01:16:21This didn't happen
01:16:22to you, Rebecca.
01:16:24You did this to yourself.
01:16:28Officer,
01:16:29I believe you have
01:16:29everything you need.
01:16:47I spent years afraid
01:16:49of losing her.
01:16:50But sometimes,
01:16:51letting go of the wrong people
01:16:53is the beginning
01:16:54of the life you deserve.
01:16:56What did you think about?
01:16:57I said it'd be more
01:16:59gefilm manage.
01:17:00What do you think about you?
