00:03You're just a contract worker with a high school diploma and zero connections.
00:07You actually think we'd make you permanent?
00:09I'm Simena, a contract worker at the very bottom of Global Union Bank.
00:14I brought in 120 billion dollars in client assets
00:17and was the bank's top performer eight years running.
00:20After all that, I finally got my shot at going permanent.
00:23Then Vice President Maria handed the position to her own daughter, Vivian,
00:27without a second thought.
00:33Edwin, I'll take the offer.
00:35In three days, I'm joining Morgan Global
00:37and my 120 billion dollar book of business is coming with me.
00:41Today's the day they post the permanent job opening.
00:43Only one a year. Who's it gonna be?
00:46It's gotta be Simena.
00:47She's top performer across the whole bank
00:49and she's been waiting eight years.
00:50If anyone's earned it, she has.
00:58Oh, Simena. Don't take it too hard.
01:02I may have only been here six months, but that high school diploma of yours
01:06can't exactly compete with my degree from a top university abroad.
01:13Five times, Maria. I've put up with this for eight years.
01:17I make a thousand bucks a month and I brought in 120 billion dollars for this bank.
01:22And that still doesn't qualify me for permanent status?
01:25Are you done?
01:27Jimena, you should be grateful we let you work here at all.
01:30I built that 120 billion dollar book one client at a time over eight years.
01:34Enough!
01:35You think that business was yours?
01:36It was Global Union's name on the door that got you those clients.
01:41Let me make this clear. Without the Global Union name behind you, you're nothing.
01:48Eight years of hard work, and to them, I'm nothing but a joke.
01:53Look at her. Total joke.
01:55She's still living in La La Land.
01:58Fine. I quit.
02:06Hello, Mr. Mendez.
02:11Shemena, my 300 million dollar custodial agreement's coming up for renewal, right?
02:16Roll it for another three.
02:18Mr. Mendez, I'm leaving Global Union.
02:20One of my colleagues will take over your accounts and handle the transition.
02:24You're leaving? What happened?
02:28It's nothing. Just tired, that's all.
02:32Shemena, you can't fool me.
02:33The president of Morgan Global is a partner of mine. I'll call him right now.
02:37Mr. Mendez, thank you.
02:40You don't have to thank me. You saved my life.
02:43Once you're at Morgan Global, I'll move my 300 million dollar in business over there with you.
02:47I'll send you his contact information.
02:56Mom, you gave me the permanent job that was supposed to be Semena's.
03:00What if she flips out?
03:01The annual review's in three days.
03:03She handles all the big clients.
03:05What if she actually quits?
03:09Relax, Semena's not going anywhere.
03:12Her mom's got medical bills every month, her brother's in college.
03:15And that whole family's barely scratching by on her paycheck.
03:18Without this bank behind her, what billionaire would even take her call?
03:21Spend the next couple days learning her book.
03:23Then I'll move every one of her clients to you, and all the numbers go under your name.
03:29Seriously? You think Semena will go along with that?
03:34Relax. I've kept her in line for eight years by dangling that full-time position in front of her.
03:40Once Semena's biggest clients are under your name, you'll be promoted to president at the global annual review in three
03:46days.
03:48You want to destroy me? Fine.
03:51Three days from now, at that annual review, I'll bury you both in front of everyone.
04:06Looks like Maria kicks Semenda out again.
04:08She really thinks fetching coffee for clients and scraping together deposits puts her in the same league as Vivian?
04:13Vivian's Maria's daughter, and she's got a degree from some fancy overseas school.
04:17Exactly.
04:18She actually thinks those big clients trust her?
04:20Please, they trust the bank, not her.
04:23You all think that 120 billion is here because of the bank's name.
04:27Three days from now, I'll show you whether Global Union can stay afloat without me.
04:33And the rest of you, parasites who've been feeding off my work.
04:37Look at her. Who does she think she is?
04:40Just wait till you're all out of a job.
04:49Shemena, come in. Let me introduce you. This is Edwin, president of Morgan Global Bank.
04:54Edwin, please, have a seat Miss Rivera.
04:56Okay.
05:00You've been the bank's top performer for eight years straight. Everyone in the industry knows your name.
05:04I've been trying to recruit you for three years. Looks like I'm finally getting my wish.
05:11When she was trying to land my account, she'd show up an hour early every single day and wait for
05:17me, rain or shine, for three straight months.
05:31My car broke down, and she got behind it and pushed. Barefoot through muddy water full of broken glass, she
05:37pushed it nearly three miles.
05:39By the end, her feet were covered in blood. Not one word of complaint.
05:45Simana, watch her step!
05:48And then there was the time I had a heart attack. When I never showed, Simana came to check on
05:53me.
05:55Mr. Mendez, wake up. Mr. Mendez!
05:58That's why I'm still alive.
06:01Simana saved my life. Edwin, make sure Morgan Global treats her right.
06:06You have my word.
06:07Mr. Mendez, I only did what anyone else would have done. Please don't give me special treatment because of it.
06:13Simana, your record speaks for yourself.
06:16Morgan Global is offering you a $30,000 monthly base plus 3% commission on everything you bring in.
06:22You'll get our best benefits package and the full backing of the bank.
06:25What do you say?
06:27Global Union pays me $1,000 a month. Commission tops out at 1%.
06:31And by the time it filters down to me, there's practically nothing left.
06:35This isn't special treatment. This is what you're worth. And you deserve every bit of it.
06:41Thank you. I accept your offer.
06:45But I need three days. I have a score to settle.
06:48After that, I'll join Morgan Global and I'll join Morgan Global with my $120 billion book.
06:53You've got it.
07:00Look at her. What's she putting on airs for now?
07:02Maria's about to put her in her place. Let's see how long that smile lasts.
07:11Jimena, my mother says you're handing over every client in your $120 billion book to me.
07:18What gives you the right?
07:20The fact that you're just a contract worker.
07:22Those accounts belong to the bank, not you.
07:24Know your place.
07:31Samana, don't push your luck.
07:33Hand over every account in that $120 billion book to Vivian and I'll let you keep your job.
07:39Refuse and you're out today.
07:41Every client agreement in that $120 billion portfolio bears my personal guarantee.
07:46Without my signature authorizing the handoff, the clients won't recognize it.
07:51They trust Global Union, not some contract worker.
07:56Who the hell do you think you are?
07:58Cut the crap. Sign the hand up. Now.
08:07Let's hope you don't regret this.
08:09Regret it?
08:10With $120 billion under my name, I'll be the star of tomorrow's global annual review.
08:22Well, well, well, Samana.
08:24Handel-off's barely done and you're already packing your little box?
08:27What, finally figured out you're not on tomorrow's guest list?
08:30Gonna go cry in the bathroom?
08:32Tomorrow's show will be worth watching.
08:35Take a good look.
08:36You may never work in this industry again.
08:38Please.
08:39You're finished and you're still running your mouth.
08:48The Global Union annual review is tomorrow.
08:51Are you ready?
08:52They moved the entire $120 billion portfolio to Vivian's name.
08:57And Maria signed off on every cross-border compliance and risk forms herself, all of it in violation of policy.
09:04Good.
09:04Morgan Global's transfer system is standing by.
09:07Say the word and all $120 billion moves in an instant.
09:11Global Union's critical liquidity alarm will go off the second it hits.
09:16Tomorrow, they pay.
09:22Come on, I've been waiting forever.
09:24Yeah, hurry it up.
09:27Why are there so many withdrawal requests?
09:29And they're all scheduled for tomorrow?
09:34$120 billion?
09:42Mom, a ton of major clients came in today, all of them scheduled withdrawals for tomorrow.
09:47$120 billion total.
09:48That's not going to be a problem, is it?
09:50I checked.
09:51They're all Zimiana's clients.
09:53She thinks a few withdrawal requests are going to scare us.
09:55We'll just roll them over when they come in.
09:58Vivian, once those term deposits mature, every one of those clients is yours.
10:04$120 billion?
10:05I'll make millions in commission alone!
10:07If any of Zimiana's clients request a withdrawal, approve it.
10:10Every single one.
10:13Mom, if all that money goes out in one day, it'll blow right past our liquidity threshold.
10:17Are we really okay approving every single one?
10:21Relax.
10:22Those clients trust Global Union.
10:24When each one comes in, we'll get them to roll the money over on the spot.
10:28Got it. I'm on it.
10:37Today, I settle every score.
10:47Well, if it isn't our top performer.
10:49All corporate executives are here today, and that's what you show up in?
10:52That cheap little outfit?
10:54Cheap? Please.
10:55That's probably the nicest thing she owns.
10:57Too bad she doesn't have any clients left.
10:59Guess you'll have to get used to begging.
11:02Mr. Davis, right this way.
11:12After careful consideration, this year's permanent position goes to Vivian Silva.
11:18With her degree from a prestigious university abroad and her outstanding ability,
11:22Vivian brought in $120 billion in business, making our branch number one bank-wide.
11:26Effective immediately, she is appointed branch manager.
11:33Carlos, that can't be right.
11:36From what I've seen, this branch is number one because of Simenda.
11:40What does Vivian have to do with any of it?
11:45Where is Simona?
11:47Where is Simona?
11:56This is bad. Not one of Zemena's clients rolled their money over.
12:00We don't have enough cash on hand to cover all these withdrawals.
12:04Where is my money?
12:05You're the one who scheduled this. Why can't I get it?
12:10Everyone, please stay calm. Please!
12:19I came up here to say one thing.
12:22Effective immediately, I resign from Global Union Bank.
12:28Alert.
12:30Liquidity reserves have dropped below the critical threshold.
12:33Critical level reached.
12:42What the hell's going on?
12:43Who triggered the alarm?
12:50We're finished! It's over!
12:52The sky's not falling. Get it together!
12:55Hundreds of VIPs are out there, all demanding to cash out.
12:57We've got nothing left. The branch is out of cash!
12:58They've withdrawn everything?!
13:00The bank is out of cash?!
13:02Hundreds of major clients withdraw at once?
13:04Who authorized all those transactions?
13:06Regulations require all large withdrawals to be scheduled in advance.
13:10Reserve levels and daily caps are tightly controlled.
13:12Carlos! Carlos, how are you running this branch?
13:16How did you let a liquidity crisis this serious happen?
13:22Maria! Explain yourself!
13:23Withdrawal? Approve it.
13:25Every single one.
13:28Mom, if all that money goes out in one day, it'll blow right past our li-
13:32Relax.
13:33Those clients trust Global Union.
13:35When each one comes in, we'll get them to roll the money over on the spot.
13:39Got it. I'm on it.
13:48Okay.
13:50It's a misunderstanding.
13:52Their term deposits matured.
13:54Once they renew, everything will go back to normal.
13:57You better pray they renew, Carlos.
13:59If they don't, I'll shut down this branch and you'll be out of a job.
14:04Don't worry. Those clients have been in eight-year CDs.
14:07They'll definitely roll them over.
14:11We have a serious problem!
14:13Stop panicking!
14:15Those clients won't even talk to me.
14:17They said they'll only roll over if it's Himorna.
14:20If she doesn't sign off, they're taking every penny out!
14:26What? How is that possible?
14:39Hello?
14:40Yes, this is Davis.
14:44Corporate just called.
14:45Risk management is all over this!
14:47Carlos, whose clients are these?
14:49Can your people handle it or not?
14:51They're Ximena's clients.
14:53Don't worry. I'll get someone on it right away.
14:55What are you waiting for? Get Ximena to fix this. Now!
14:58But Mr. Price, if we give the accounts back to Ximena,
15:01Vivian gets zero credit for any of it.
15:03Are you kidding me?
15:04You're still worried about Vivian's numbers at a time like this?
15:08If we trigger a liquidity crisis, you and I are both going to prison.
15:11Now move!
15:15Ximena, get out there right now, calm those clients down,
15:19and get every single one of them to renew today.
15:23Why would I?
15:24Because you're, you're an employee of this bank.
15:27This is your job!
15:29If you don't get those accounts renewed today,
15:31you're fired on the spot!
15:33Exactly!
15:34You caused this mess, Ximena.
15:36Clean it up and stop dragging the rest of us down.
15:41Yeah.
15:42Why should we be the ones taking the fall?
15:44Get out there and handle those clients.
15:49Short memory, Maria.
15:51You're the one who forced me to hand over every account to Vivian.
15:54I already signed the handoff paperwork.
15:58So how is any of this my problem?
16:01Besides, I already quit.
16:02What?
16:03What?
16:04What?
16:06What?
16:08What?
16:18What?
16:20You're trying to scare me with that resignation.
16:22Your whole family's living off that paycheck.
16:24You wouldn't dare walk out.
16:25Now get those renewals locked in or I'll zero out every cent of your commission.
16:31Eight years.
16:32You held my family over my head for eight years.
16:35You really think that still works on me?
16:40Didn't you say the bank would run just fine without me?
16:42Fine.
16:43If you're also capable, handle it yourselves.
16:45I'm done.
16:51This is my resignation letter.
16:52I'm not asking for permission.
16:54I'm informing you.
16:55I quit.
17:02You really have the nerve to quit?
17:07Semena.
17:08The bank has been good to you.
17:10Corporate signed off on a huge annual bonus and a permanent spot.
17:14Why would you want to leave?
17:17So that permanent position Vivian got was actually meant for Semena?
17:20It was Semena's position all along.
17:24Is that so?
17:26Mr. Davis, why don't you ask Maria how well she's been treating you behind closed doors?
17:35Shemana's the backbone of this branch.
17:37She's practically been carrying this place for years.
17:41What exactly did you do to her?
17:43Don't listen to her lies.
17:44All I did was reassign to a new hire for training and she lost it.
17:48Now she's using her resignation to turn clients against us.
17:51She's trying to sink the whole bank.
17:53Exactly. I'm new and I didn't have any clients.
17:56The vice president only asked Shemana to share a few so I could get some experience.
18:00How was I supposed to know?
18:02Shemana would set those clients on me to make me look bad?
18:07Yeah, exactly. Shemana planned all of this.
18:10How could she do that?
18:15It's practically unheard of for that many clients to pull their money on the same day.
18:19This was clearly orchestrated.
18:24Shemana, did you really orchestrated all of this just to get even?
18:27Do you have any idea how serious it is to trigger a bank run?
18:30After everything corporate's invested in you, this is how you repay us?
18:34Admit to Mr. Davis what you did right now or you'll regret it.
18:39Fine.
18:40Then today I'll show everyone from corporate exactly who you people really are.
18:48Vice President Maria, you abused your position to withhold commissions, rigged permanent statements, leak exam questions and answers, and forced
18:56my clients over to Vivian.
18:59Eight years. Five times you gave my spot to someone else.
19:03I brought in 120 billion and I never saw a sec of commission.
19:07How do you explain that?
19:19How do you explain any of it?
19:21Maria, is any of this true?
19:24It's all lies.
19:25Jimena's making this up.
19:27I paid you every cent of commission you earned.
19:31You didn't get permanent because you don't have the qualifications.
19:36That was the hiring committee's decision.
19:38It had nothing to do with me.
19:40Exactly.
19:41I earned this on my own.
19:43You barely finished high school.
19:45I graduated from a top university abroad.
19:48Tell me one thing you do better than me.
19:50I don't know.
19:51I'm sorry.
19:53Samiana.
19:54I know you're jealous I stole your thunder.
19:56But you can't make accusations like that without proof.
20:00Samana.
20:01Our process is open and transparent.
20:03If they wronged you, I'll make it right.
20:06But if these are just empty accusations...
20:10If you want the position that badly, fine.
20:13Take it.
20:14Just please don't let a personal grudge cost everyone their jobs.
20:19You really think I came here without proof?
20:34Maria, want to guess what's on this?
20:43Today, everyone in this room is going to see Maria for who she really is.
20:49These are the records for five permanent openings over eight years.
20:53I was the top performer every single year, and every time Maria found some excuse to hand the spot to
20:59one of her pets.
21:04Here are the internal exam questions Maria leaked to Vivian, along with records showing that she reassigned my clients to
21:11Vivian.
21:16These are my payroll records from the past eight years.
21:19A thousand dollars a month, and I brought in 120 billion, not a single cent in commission.
21:25You know what Maria told me?
21:26I didn't qualify.
21:27She said a thousand bucks a month was already more than my life is worth.
21:31Carlos!
21:32Corporate allocated commission for Simona every single year.
21:35Where did that money go?
21:37Maria, answer him.
21:38Where did her commission go?
21:40It's all fake.
21:41She made all of it up to frame me.
21:44You don't have to admit it.
21:45Let's all listen to this.
21:48Vivian, Simiana's permanent spot is yours.
21:51The exam is just a formality.
21:56Mom, once you make president, make sure all of Simena's clients come to me.
22:01Relax.
22:02Her whole family's living off that sad little paycheck.
22:05She wouldn't dare cross him.
22:18No!
22:19It's all fake.
22:20She fabricated everything to smear me.
22:23Carlos, you let your people break policy and steal employee commissions.
22:27What kind of president are you?
22:31Maria, I trusted you and this is what you do to me?
22:34You've let me down.
22:36Mr. Davis, I promise I'll discipline Maria and make this right for everyone.
22:43Simena, I'll make you pay for this a thousand times over.
22:49Simona, I was wrong.
22:50Just stop those withdrawals.
22:53Save the branch and you can name your price.
22:57Simena, you can have the permanent job back.
23:00You can have all your clients back too.
23:03Just please stop punishing everyone, okay?
23:06Exactly.
23:07They've already offered to make it up to you.
23:10So just let it go already.
23:12She's right.
23:13Himena, we've worked side by side for eight years.
23:17Doesn't that count for anything?
23:24You people still have the nerve to talk to me about friendship?
23:29Last month, you begged me for two cross-border clients so you could hit your quota.
23:35Then what did I hear you say in the break room?
23:37That I only got my numbers by drinking with clients and batting my eyelashes?
23:45You bought that Louis Vuitton bag with commissions my team earned for you, didn't you?
23:49And then you said I was too uneducated for a permanent position.
23:56And you, who's been closing your toughest clients month after month?
24:00Me.
24:03Every single one of you has trashed me behind my back.
24:07And now you want to talk about being a team?
24:13Maria, eight years.
24:15I did the hardest work in this branch for a thousand bucks a month.
24:18And I brought in two-thirds of the business.
24:22And after all that, I still couldn't get one permanent position.
24:29I didn't come here for compensation.
24:33I came to tell you one thing.
24:35I don't need Global Union.
24:37Global Union needs me.
24:40This is bad.
24:42Mr. Mendez and more than half of our private banking clients are closing all their accounts
24:45and pulling every dollar.
24:46They're saying they'll blacklist Global Union globally.
24:49Never work with us again!
24:55What?
25:00Hey, man, I see you've been wronged.
25:01But all of this is Maria's fault.
25:04You're one of our bank's most valuable people.
25:07Go out there, calm those clients down, and I'll make you permanent today.
25:11Promote you to manager, and double your salary and commission.
25:16None of that means anything to me now.
25:18I've already submitted my resignation.
25:20I came here to quit.
25:22Semena, with your education, where do you think you'll find a job this good?
25:29People would kill for the compensation I just offered you.
25:32That's not your concern.
25:34You can leave, but only after you turn over every single file, every contact, every piece
25:41of client information, and complete a full handoff.
25:44What exactly do you mean by that?
25:46Go out there and tell those clients.
25:47They're renewing with us.
25:49Refuse, and I'll have you charged with inciting a public disturbance and stealing proprietary
25:53bank information.
25:54One call from me, and you'll be blacklisted.
25:57No bank will touch you.
26:04I've already completed the handoff of all client files with compliance.
26:07Whether they renew is up to them.
26:08They're right outside.
26:09Go convince them yourselves.
26:10This has nothing to do with me.
26:12As for blacklisting me, Mr. Davis, let's see if you've got what it takes.
26:19This is pure revenge.
26:21Simeanna deliberately turned our biggest clients against us.
26:25You can't let her get away with this.
26:27Shut up!
26:29This whole disaster is your fault.
26:32I'm reporting this to corporate right now.
26:35With a $120-$20 billion liquidity shortfall, you'd better get ready for prison.
26:42Mr. Price, help me, please.
26:44Mr. Davis, why don't we talk this over in my office?
26:47I'm sure we can figure something out.
26:59Davis, today's problem is just too many clients pulling their money at once.
27:03We've got all of Simenda's client files now.
27:05If Maria can get them to roll over, the crisis is solved.
27:09And I'll make Maria hand over every dollar she stole from Simenda to help cover the branch's losses.
27:15How much?
27:17At least $3 million.
27:19Yes, I'll turn over every cent.
27:21Please give me one more chance.
27:22I swear I'll win every client back.
27:25You already tried.
27:27Shimeanna's clients only trust Simenda.
27:28Why should I believe you?
27:31Don't worry.
27:32All depositors care about is interest and returns.
27:35Simenda was just a contract worker.
27:37She barely has any authority at all.
27:39If I handle this personally, offer a higher annual yield, and sweeten the benefits,
27:45I'll win every last one of those clients back.
27:52Why can't I get my money?
27:54Is this bank going under?
27:57Get your president out here!
27:59Give us our money!
28:01Give us our money!
28:02Give us our money!
28:07It's been over half an hour.
28:09What's taking Simenda so long?
28:11Mr. Mendez, you don't think she's in trouble, do you?
28:13They wouldn't dare.
28:19Edwin, Mr. Mendez, sorry to keep you both waiting.
28:23How did it go?
28:24Is everything finalized?
28:25It's official.
28:26I'm out.
28:27Excellent.
28:28Welcome to Morgan Global.
28:36Simiana, you're a fired contract worker.
28:39What are you still doing hanging around our lobby?
28:41What, already regretting quitting?
28:43Came down here to poach our best clients on the side?
28:46Mr. Mendez, don't waste your time on raved dogs.
28:49Let's go.
28:50Stop.
28:51Simena, stay away from my clients.
28:55Oh, you must be Mr. Mendez of the Mendez Group.
28:58I'm Maria, vice president of this branch.
29:00Simena was terminated for serious misconduct.
29:02From now on, I'll be handling your account myself.
29:06This is our top-level private banking black card.
29:10Renew your $300 million today, and I'll authorize double the interest rate myself.
29:14Way more than Simena ever gave you.
29:17Double my interest?
29:18Absolutely.
29:19You won't be disappointed.
29:24Who the hell do you think you are, asking me to roll over with you?
29:31If it weren't for Simena, I wouldn't give this dump a second glance.
29:40Simena's gone, so we're out.
29:45Give us our money now, or we're calling the cops.
29:48Give us our money!
29:49Give us our money!
29:50How is this possible?
29:51Even the highest rate won't win them over.
29:54What else do they want from a bank?
29:58Mr. Mendez, Simena already quit.
30:01You're a businessman.
30:02Is some low-level contract worker really worth going this far for?
30:07Who are you?
30:10Jimena!
30:11You're behind all of this, aren't you?
30:12You put them up to it!
30:14Maria, instead of suspecting me, you'd better figure out how to calm the climbers.
30:18Jimena, don't think quitting gets you off the hook.
30:22You'd better get your customers renewed right now, or...
30:24Or what?
30:25One word from me, and no bank in this industry will ever hire you.
30:30Without a job, how does your family survive?
30:36You're just a branch vice president.
30:38What makes you think you can keep Simena from ever working in this industry again?
30:47And who are you, old man?
30:49Nobody asked you.
30:51Edwin.
30:52President of Morgan Global.
30:54Morgan Global?
30:55As in one of the top three banks in the world?
30:58Edwin.
30:59What brings you here?
31:01Simena, of course.
31:04Simena has no connections.
31:06Barely a high school diploma.
31:07How could she possibly be worth...
31:08Shut up!
31:09Weren't you just threatening to make sure Simena never worked again?
31:16Open your eyes and take a good look at this.
31:21That's a top-level executive offer letter from Morgan Global?
31:26Vice president?
31:27Simena is your new vice president?
31:29That's impossible.
31:32Effective immediately.
31:34Effective immediately.
31:34Simena is the new VP of Morgan Global.
31:37Let's see, you blacklaced her now.
31:39Simena, I meant for this to be a surprise.
31:41I didn't expect to run into two blind fools.
31:48Simena only has a high school diploma.
31:50How could she possibly be...
31:51Say one more word against Kamena and you won't be VP much longer.
32:00Maria, you'd better worry about the clients who can't get their money out.
32:04And think about what losing 120 billion in deposits is going to cost you.
32:09Edwin, Mr. Mendez, let's go.
32:12Now let's see how long this bank lasts without Simena.
32:19Give us our money!
32:20Now!
32:21Give it back!
32:23Stop!
32:23Don't push!
32:24Stop pushing!
32:32120 billion dollars.
32:34You swore you could hold on to those clients.
32:36Now you're telling me you couldn't get a single renewal?
32:39And now they're all closing their accounts and pulling every dollar!
32:44None of this is my fault.
32:45It's all Himea's fault.
32:46Then fix it.
32:47If you can't, get ready for prison.
32:51We don't have to keep chasing retail deposits.
32:53One major corporate deposit could solve the whole problem just as easily.
32:58You have a plan?
32:59I found some classified files on Simena's computer.
33:02There's one major prospect she's been pursuing for years, Lucas Mendez, founder of Stellar Capital.
33:07Lucas Mendez?
33:08The venture capital legend who single-handedly turned the finance world on its head?
33:11Yes.
33:12Tomorrow, he's holding an open bid for a banking services contract and we're on the invitation list.
33:16His assistant is running the entire process and we went to school together.
33:19Perfect.
33:20We use that connection and we can land the Stellar Capital account.
33:22If we land Lucas' business, we can cover a $120 billion shortfall and any losses beyond it.
33:32On your very first day, you brought $500 million in new deposits to Morgan Global.
33:41This is your contract for the vice president position.
33:43$50,000 a month after taxes plus 5% commission.
33:47From now on, you're officially Morgan Global's vice president.
33:50Simena, with your ability, you've earned every bit of it.
33:55Thank you, Mr. Mendez.
33:57I wouldn't be here without you.
33:59You saved my life.
34:00Stop thanking me.
34:02Have a seat.
34:10Those fools at Global Union are really dragging their feet.
34:13There are still billions tied up in term deposits and they won't release the rest for another two days.
34:17No rush.
34:18Global Union's liquidity has already broken.
34:21Hiding behind procedure is their last desperate move.
34:23We can afford to wait.
34:25Simena, now that you're officially on board, how would you like me to introduce you to a major client?
34:31A major client?
34:33Lucas Mendez, the legendary venture capitalist and founder of Stellar Capital.
34:37Tomorrow, Stellar Capital is issuing an open RPP to select its banking partner.
34:42I want you to lead our bid and win the mandate.
34:45Lucas Mendez?
34:46I spent years trying to get a meeting with him at Global Union, but I never got the chance.
34:52What's so hard about that?
34:53You should have come to me.
34:55I know him very well.
34:56I'll send you his contact information right now.
35:06Mr. Mendez knows Lucas Mendez that well.
35:09Could it be...
35:11And I can use this to land a spot at corporate?
35:15And then the president and vice president positions at this branch will be ours.
35:21Didn't Ximena say this branch would collapse without her?
35:25A contract worker doesn't get to decide our future.
35:35Thomas, every bank in town is fighting over Mr. Mendez's hundred-billion-dollar cursed demand-to-date.
35:40Whether Global Union gets the prize is all on you.
35:47Just a little token of my appreciation.
35:53The pin's your birthday.
35:56Once the deal goes through, there's plenty more where that came from.
36:03Vivian, we've known each other for so long.
36:05You really think I wouldn't look out for you?
36:13Relax.
36:14I've got plenty of pull with Mr. Mendez.
36:17Go ahead and get the contract ready.
36:19Then I'm counting on you.
36:24You gave Global Union to a prime VIP table at the Banking Services Bid Conference,
36:28even though they don't meet the eligibility requirements.
36:31Why are we giving them special treatment?
36:36It's my father.
36:38He said the person who saved his life works at Global Union,
36:41and he asked me to look out for them.
36:51So you two went to school together.
36:53You even sat next to each other in class.
36:56Dad, Simena wasn't just a classmate.
36:59She's the person I was always telling you about.
37:01The one who saved me back in high school.
37:05All I did was call the police.
37:07I got punched once, that's all.
37:09Don't make it sound so dramatic.
37:12Lucas.
37:12So Simana is the one who saved you.
37:15You have no idea, Simana.
37:16For years, Lucas couldn't stop talking about finding you and thanking you properly.
37:21How did you two ever lose touch?
37:27Simana, that means you've saved our family twice.
37:29Here's to you.
37:39Lucas, didn't you come back to choose a partner bank?
37:42Simana left Global Union and joined Morgan Global.
37:44Forget the other bidders.
37:46Wherever Simana goes, that's the bank you choose.
37:49Consider it done.
37:51Whichever bank Simana works for gets my business.
37:54At tomorrow's bid conference, I'll open with a hundred billion dollar deposit.
37:59What?
38:04Well, if it isn't Jimana.
38:07Oh, Mr. Mendez.
38:08You're here too.
38:12Jimana, Global Union just fired you.
38:14And you're already out here hustling for new clients?
38:17This is an upscale restaurant.
38:19Can a beggar like you even afford dinner?
38:21Mom, she's got a rich man right here.
38:24Surely he can afford to buy her dinner.
38:26Get out.
38:28What is wrong with you?
38:29Vivian wasn't even talking to you.
38:31Has this place lowered its standards?
38:33Do they let just anyone into VIP now?
38:36Waiter, take out the trash.
38:37Someone's foul mouth is killing my appetite.
38:40Jimana, do you think latching onto some random guy makes you queen of the world?
38:44I'm telling you, Global Union will run just fine without you, better than ever.
38:50Really?
38:51A hundred and twenty billion hole is hardly pocket-paste.
38:54Where exactly is all that confidence coming from, Maria?
38:59Global Union received a personal invitation from Lucas Mendez himself.
39:04Once we land the stellar capital custody mandate, Morgan Global won't even be worth our attention.
39:11Looks like Lucas is quite the hot commodity.
39:14We've already reached an understanding with Lucas.
39:17Tomorrow's contract is a done deal.
39:19If you regret leaving, it's not too late.
39:22Then let me return the favor.
39:24At tomorrow's bid conference, you won't get anywhere near that contract.
39:28You think you're in a position to threaten me?
39:29What if I told you I know Lucas?
39:32You?
39:33Are you delusional?
39:35Lucas Mendez is a financial tycan worth over a hundred billion.
39:40You're not even fit to shine his shoes.
39:43She's jealous.
39:44Once we sign that contract tomorrow, let's see if she's still this arrogant.
39:47So you're going to crush Morgan Global and land stellar counting in one go?
39:51I can't wait to see how that plays out.
39:53Now I'm wondering, have either of you ever met Lucas?
39:56Everyone knows Lucas just came back from overseas and keeps a very low profile.
40:00His assistant Thomas handles everything, and Thomas happens to be an old classmate of mine.
40:07Mom, we still have to go get fitted for our gowns.
40:10We don't have time to waste on people this far beneath us.
40:14Ximena, I can't wait to watch you make a fool of yourself at tomorrow's bid conference.
40:22Lucas, sounds like your assistant isn't exactly trustworthy.
40:49Did you bring your little boy toy to a gala like this, just so he could see how the other
40:54half lives?
40:55I told you yesterday, Ximena, don't come here and embarrass yourself.
40:59You actually think you can win Stellar Capital's mandate?
41:02You're asking to be humiliated.
41:04I think you're the ones about to be humiliated.
41:07Tell you what, Thomas, Lucas' own assistant, personally promised us the hundred billion dollar contract,
41:13and nothing you do will change the fact that you're a loser.
41:16I'm afraid Thomas doesn't have that authority.
41:18You don't know what you're talking about.
41:20Thomas is Mr. Mendez's most trusted assistant.
41:23If he can't make the call, you think you can?
41:26Yes, I'm...
41:27I heard you've already secured Lucas' hundred billion dollar contract.
41:31Congratulations.
41:32Vivian is so accomplished for someone so young.
41:35That's because Vivian has connections.
41:37Unlike certain people with no degree, no background, and no shame about crashing a gala.
41:45Wait here, I need to take this.
41:52Mr. Price, the bidding event is about to start.
41:54What's wrong?
41:55Maria, corporate refused to release emergency funds.
41:58Depositors can't get their money out, and they've called the police.
42:00Regulators gave us three days to cover the 120 billion shortfall,
42:04or they'll start freezing and seizing assets.
42:06So we have to win Lucas' hundred billion dollar exclusive custody mandate.
42:09If we don't, we're all finished.
42:12Relax.
42:14With Vivian handling it, that exclusive mandate is as good as ours.
42:19Didn't you say I didn't deserve that permanent position, Jimena?
42:23Tonight I'm landing that hundred billion dollar deal,
42:25shooting straight to the top while you stand there and watch.
42:28So who's the loser now?
42:29Well, you're really that certain you'll win Lucas' exclusive mandate?
42:33Of course.
42:34People like you will never understand the power of connections.
42:37I'm just curious.
42:38With a 120 billion liquidity shortfall,
42:41what makes you think anyone would award you a custody mandate
42:43just because you know an assistant?
42:45Connections only get you in the door.
42:47I slipped Thomas three million under the table and a Porsche.
42:51That's what sealed the deal.
42:53Oh, my gosh.
42:57So you bribed him.
42:59Aren't you worried Lucas will disqualify you?
43:02Lucas doesn't have time to worry about little details like this.
43:05Thomas is his most trusted assistant.
43:07And even if Lucas found out, what would he do about it?
43:09Is that right?
43:11Lucas, what do you think?
43:12Thomas has gotten awfully bold.
43:15Drop the act.
43:16Who the hell do you think you are?
43:17Calling Mr. Mendez by his first name?
43:24Thomas, you have one minute to get your ass to this gal and face me.
43:34Shemana, where did you find this pretty boy?
43:36Who does he think he is?
43:37Ordering Thomas around and telling him to get his ass over here?
43:41Don't tell me he actually thinks he's the founder of Stellar Capital.
43:45Do you know his name?
43:46Allow me to introduce you.
43:48My son, Lucas Mendez.
43:52Lucas Mendez?
43:53That's right.
43:54The Lucas you keep talking about.
43:56The founder of Stellar Capital.
43:58So where is Lucas?
44:00Mom, Samana says this guy is Lucas Mendez.
44:02Isn't that hilarious?
44:04Have some shame, Jimena.
44:06Does lying in front of everyone make you feel good?
44:09I get it.
44:09You saw Vivian was close to Lucas' assistant,
44:11so you dug up this broke nobody and dressed him up as a billionaire.
44:14You actually think you can pass for Lucas Mendez?
44:17Maria, you always think you know everything.
44:19What if he really is Lucas Mendez?
44:22If he's really Lucas,
44:24I'll bow and apologize to both of you in front of everyone.
44:27If he's not, you get out of this gala now.
44:29Thomas is here!
44:31Thomas, thank God you're here.
44:33Someone's impersonating Lucas Mendez.
44:35Pretending to be Lucas who has a death wing?
44:37Those three.
44:44Thomas, it's them.
44:46This pretty boy is posing as Lucas.
44:48That old man claims he's Lucas' father,
44:51and they're saying you don't have the final say on the contract.
44:54Exactly.
44:55Samana's a disgraced contract worker we fired from our branch.
44:59Thomas, you need to put all three of them in their place.
45:03Thomas, they insulted you too!
45:05Shut up!
45:09Why did you hit me?
45:11You hit the wrong person!
45:13Why did you hit her?
45:17Lucas?
45:18Mr. Mendez?
45:19If I hadn't ordered you here,
45:21I'd never have found out what you've been doing behind my back.
45:24How much money have you made cashing in on my name all these years?
45:28Amy.
45:29Sir, what do you mean?
45:31Thomas, who is he?
45:33Why are you acting like this?
45:36This is Lucas Mendez,
45:38the founder of Stellar Capital!
45:47Lucas?
45:49Mr. Mendez, I'm so sorry.
45:50Everything I said about the bribe was just a joke.
45:52Please don't take it seriously.
45:55That's right, sir.
45:56She was making it up.
45:57A joke?
45:59You tried to buy Thomas off with three million dollars and a Porsche
46:02to get him to hand you the exclusive mandate,
46:04and that was all a joke?
46:07That's slander!
46:09Vivian never bribed anyone!
46:12Still denying it?
46:13You want proof?
46:15Fine.
46:16I'll give you proof.
46:17Mr. Mendez, if you would.
46:20My pleasure.
46:24A little token?
46:26What's the pin?
46:27Your birthday.
46:29Once the deal goes through,
46:30there's plenty more where that came from.
46:41It's fake!
46:42It has to be fake!
46:43Exactly!
46:44This video is fake!
46:45There were no cameras in that private room!
46:47You did this, Jimena.
46:48You fabricated the footage to frame a senior executive.
46:51I'm calling the police!
46:53So you admit you met Thomas in that private room?
46:58I...
46:59Here's the truth.
47:00The private room where you made that deal
47:02just happens to belong to the Mendez family.
47:05Vivian, look what you've done!
47:07Mom, I only did it for us!
47:11Sir, I'm sorry.
47:12I wasn't thinking.
47:13I'll return the three million and the car right now.
47:15Please, give me one more chance.
47:17Mr. Mendez, I'll take it all back.
47:19Please don't let this ruin our deal!
47:22Mr. Mendez,
47:23things like this happen in finance all the time, don't they?
47:26Enough!
47:27You still think there's a deal here?
47:31Effective immediately,
47:32Stellar Capital will never do business with Global Union Bank again.
47:35And the Mendez group is permanently blacklisting Global Union Bank.
47:42How can this be?
47:43This deal was our only chance
47:45to survive the crisis.
47:47As for you,
47:48you're fired.
47:50I'm turning you over to legal right now.
47:53Sir, please!
47:54After all the years I've worked for you,
47:57please give me one more chance.
48:00Get off me!
48:02I don't understand.
48:05You were the one who told me
48:07to invite them to the gala.
48:11Because the woman who saved my family
48:12worked at Global Union.
48:14And they drove her out.
48:17Mr. Mendez?
48:18Are you saying the woman who saved your family is...
48:25This is Shahana Rivera.
48:27The woman who saved my life.
48:29Anyone who dares to mess with her
48:31makes an enemy of the Mendez family.
48:33Oh, my God.
48:37I'm sorry.
48:40Shamana...
48:40You're the one who saved Lucas' life?
48:43That's impossible.
48:44Shamana's just some low-level worker.
48:46She...
48:46Let me make this clear.
48:48If it weren't for Shamana,
48:50none of you would have ever gotten the chance to meet me.
48:54So Thomas only promised us the contract
48:56because Lucas wanted Shamana to get credit,
48:58not Vivian?
48:58How is that even possible?
49:02Shamana barely knows you.
49:03How could she possibly have saved your life?
49:05She must have tricked you somehow.
49:06Shut up.
49:12Shamana, if you and Mr. Mendez are so close,
49:15tell him to sign the contract with us.
49:16Once this is over,
49:17maybe I'll still make you permanent.
49:20Refuse,
49:20and you'll regret it.
49:23Maria, what makes you think
49:24I'm still the one begging?
49:26I'm the one who walked away from you.
49:28Understand?
49:29Mr. Mendez,
49:30you see how heartless she is?
49:31I spent eight years training her,
49:32and now she refuses to save us.
49:34Take my advice.
49:35Stay away from her.
49:35Shut up!
49:36Who the hell do you think you are,
49:38bad-mouthing Shamana?
49:39Security!
49:40Get these three idiots out of here!
49:50Hold on.
49:51Maria,
49:52Vivian,
49:52don't leave just yet.
50:04You think you can just walk away?
50:07What else do you want?
50:10Apologize to me.
50:20Simana,
50:20this isn't over.
50:21We'll settle the score another day.
50:24Wait.
50:26Simana,
50:27we apologized.
50:28What more do you want?
50:30That apology was just you settling our bet.
50:32Now what about all the money you two stole
50:34over the past eight years?
50:35Time to give it back.
50:37What the hell are you talking about?
50:38Stop slandering me!
50:41If you think that's slander,
50:42take a look at the screen.
50:46For eight years,
50:48Maria abused her position
50:49to steal four million dollars
50:51in commissions that were mine.
50:53She also leaped internal bank secrets.
50:56And Vivian is implicated
50:57in large-scale financial fraud
50:59and cross-border money laundering
51:01and attempted to flee
51:02with the stolen funds.
51:03That's interesting.
51:05My God.
51:05Those are serious financial crimes.
51:07No!
51:08This isn't real.
51:09Simana,
51:10you set me up!
51:13Simana,
51:14you bitch!
51:15I'll kill you!
51:18Maria Torres,
51:19Vivian Silva,
51:20you're under arrest
51:21for embezzlement,
51:21financial fraud,
51:22and cross-border money laundering.
51:24We have a warrant.
51:25Turn around.
51:26Hands behind your back.
51:28I'm not going.
51:29I'm not going.
51:29Let me go!
51:30Mom, help me!
51:31I don't want to go to jail!
51:34This is all your fault,
51:35you useless idiot.
51:45Carlos Price,
51:47you're under arrest
51:48for corruption,
51:49abuse of office,
51:50and self-dealing.
51:51By court order,
51:52this global union branch
51:53is now sealed
51:53and all assets are frozen.
51:57It's over.
51:58It's all over.
52:01Congratulations,
52:02Ximena.
52:03You just started
52:04and you've already landed
52:05a mandate this big.
52:06It's an honor.
52:07Here's to a successful partnership.
52:09Now, everyone,
52:11enjoy the evening.
52:26You came out here too?
52:28Too loud in there.
52:31It's been eight years
52:32and this is the first time
52:34I've stopped to notice
52:34how beautiful the night is.
52:36At Global Union,
52:37my whole world
52:38was endless reports
52:39and one humiliation
52:40after another.
52:41I'm sorry, Ximena.
52:44I should have found you sooner.
52:46No.
52:47You found me
52:48at exactly the right time.
52:50If it weren't for you,
52:52I might still be stuck
52:52in that nightmare.
52:54Thank you for always
52:55having my back, Lucas.
52:58Ximena,
52:59back in high school,
53:00you stepped in front of me
53:01and became the light
53:02that pulled me out of the dark.
53:03For eight years,
53:04I thought about you every day.
53:06I never stopped
53:07looking for you.
53:11I don't want your thanks.
53:12I just want one chance
53:14to stand beside you,
53:15to protect you,
53:16to cherish you
53:17for the rest of my life.
53:19Ximena,
53:20will you be my girlfriend?
53:23Yes,
53:23but you'd better treat me right,
53:25Mr. Mendez.
53:25I don't want you to be my girlfriend.
53:32I don't want you to be my girlfriend.
