KesenanganTranskrip
00:00:04In the critical days before IPO, after I poured three years of blood and sweat into building this company from
00:00:11scratch, I'm standing in an all-hands meeting getting fucked over by an intern.
00:00:21President Gray, I'd like to file a formal complaint. Veronica has been blatantly abusing her authority as vice president.
00:00:30You use the corporate jet like your private party bus. That Gulfstream is meant to impress top investors, not your
00:00:37little socialette friends.
00:00:40While the rest of us are busting asses for this firm, you're up there playing celebrity at 30,000 feet.
00:00:46What do you have to say for yourself?
00:00:49What this idiot doesn't know is that the Gulfstream is mine. I loaned it to the company three years ago.
00:00:56What the hell are you laughing at?
00:01:00Rebecca, maybe you should explain to the office Sherlock who that jet actually belongs to before she starts dusting the
00:01:05room for fingerprints.
00:01:08Rebecca is my best friend.
00:01:10Three years ago she was drowning in debt and this firm was hanging by a threat.
00:01:15I was the one who saved both.
00:01:24Ronnie, I screwed up. I put every dollar I had into this company. The loan sharks said they're taking my
00:01:31fingers next.
00:01:33Please, you're the only one who can help me.
00:01:38Look at me. We're sisters. I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you.
00:01:45Pay off your debt. Don't worry about paying me back.
00:01:52No, I won't take charity. From this day on, we're partners. 50-50.
00:02:01When we started pitching investors, Wall Street laughed us out of the room.
00:02:07So when I bought my first private jet, I let Rebecca use it to make us look legit.
00:02:16Go pick up our investors in style. We 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 harographies 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. I didn't cost this company a cent.
00:02:51If anything, I helped it fake success long enough to become successful.
00:02:57Rebecca, tell her.
00:03:04Vernonica! I can't believe you'd sink this low!
00:03:10Excuse me?
00:03:11This company has compliance rules. I don't care if you're a founder.
00:03:15Nobody gets special treatment.
00:03:17Wow.
00:03:19Look at you now.
00:03:22Ronnie, I screwed up. Again.
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. We'll make more.
00:03:34I'll mortgage the jet if I have to.
00:03:37Ronnie, 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, I'm buying you the best jet on the market.
00:03:49We'll fly around the world together.
00:03:56Oh my god! We did it! We freaking did it!
00:04:14Promise me something.
00:04:16No matter how big this thing gets, it's always going to be you and me against the world.
00:04:22Deal.
00:04:23Sisters for life.
00:04:24And partners too. Don't forget partners.
00:04:33Fine. Rebecca wants to play dumb.
00:04:36But what about the rest of you?
00:04:37You all know exactly where that jet came from.
00:04:42Funny.
00:04:43When the company was drowning, I was everyone's hero.
00:04:46Now Rebecca turns on me and suddenly everybody develops amnesia.
00:04:51President Gray, to make sure nothing like this happens again, we should put the jet under administrative control.
00:04:57No one gets access without approval.
00:04:59That's a great idea, Ava.
00:05:00If we're serious about becoming a world-class company, we need real structure.
00:05:05Veronica, please hand over the jet access codes.
00:05:08That's not enough, considering how severe this abuse was.
00:05:13Veronica should apologize publicly in front of the entire company.
00:05:22One bitch wants a power trip. The other wants my jet.
00:05:26Fine. Let'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, not yours.
00:05:48Wouldn't dream of forgetting that.
00:05:50That's better. A VP is still just an employee.
00:05:52Rebecca calls all the shots.
00:05:54It's about time you knew your place.
00:05:58Veronica, I know this doesn't feel fair.
00:06:01But we're on the verge of an IPO. Sacrifices have to be made.
00:06:04We're sisters. I'd never hurt you.
00:06:12They stole my jet and think they're still going public?
00:06:15That's cute.
00:06:24Can you believe her? Strutting around like she's above everyone.
00:06:27Meanwhile, she's been stealing from the firm.
00:06:29Sucking us dry just to impress her rich friends. It's disgusting.
00:06:33Rebecca's too kind.
00:06:34If it were me, security would have tossed this leech out on her ass already.
00:06:37Three years of carrying this firm on my back.
00:06:40And now they call me a leech.
00:06:46Veronica, according to Estimate, you owe the firm $128,000.
00:06:51Hangar fees, fuel, cleaning.
00:06:54You even want me to reimburse the flight crew 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. Now, pay up like a big girl.
00:07:08Do you know who paid the hangar fees, insurance premiums, and crew salaries for the past three years?
00:07:13It's a company jet. Who do you think paid for it?
00:07:17The company. Duh.
00:07:19Interesting.
00:07:20Then why aren't there any invoices or payment records in the company books?
00:07:25Because I just took over.
00:07:27I haven't finished auditing everything yet. I'll find the records later.
00:07:31Nice try. Now stop changing the subject and pay what you owe.
00:07:34You could tear this office apart brick by brick and still wouldn't find those records.
00:07:40What the hell is that supposed to mean?
00:07:47It means the firm didn't pay a single cent.
00:07:50Every invoice for that jet over the last three years is right here.
00:07:54I paid everything myself from my personal account.
00:07:57So what? You're the one using the jet. Who else is supposed to pay?
00:08:00And you still owe the firm for using it.
00:08:04Then let me ask you one more question.
00:08:07Do you know who brought that jet into the firm three years ago?
00:08:10I don't know. And I don't care. It's registered under the company now.
00:08:13And Rebecca said if you don't pay up, we're dacking your bonus.
00:08:18Rebecca again.
00:08:20Oh, and one more thing.
00:08:21Rebecca has officially made me the jet administrator.
00:08:24From now on, you want to fly? You submit a request to me.
00:08:27If I approve it, you fly. If I don't, you stay on the damn ground.
00:08:33Let me get this straight.
00:08:35I'm the vice president, but I need a hall pass from a three-month intern to use my jet?
00:08:42What?
00:08:43Rebecca personally ordered it.
00:08:45Don't like it? Take it up with her.
00:08:53Fine. I'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.
00:09:23I'm the vice president.
00:09:24I'm the vice president.
00:09:24I'm the vice president.
00:09:24I'm the vice president.
00:09:25I'm the vice president.
00:09:25Davis, I need some legal advice.
00:09:28Hypothetically, if someone takes your property, claims it's theirs, and profits off it, what are your options?
00:09:34Cases like that come down to one thing.
00:09:36Proof.
00:09:37As long as you can prove ownership, they'll have to return the property and be liable for any damages.
00:09:42Understood.
00:09:50I'm the vice president.
00:09:51I'm the vice president.
00:09:52I'm the vice president.
00:09:53I'm the vice president.
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.
00:10:04What'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.
00:10:16Turns out all I did was teach her to take more.
00:10:22It's time to settle up.
00:10:32Veronica!
00:10:34I figured you were busy, so I went ahead and cleaned up for you.
00:10:37Hope that's not a problem.
00:10:42What is this bargain-get crap?
00:10:45Toss it all.
00:10:46Replace it with the Levant Rebecca actually drinks.
00:10:50That's Romaine Conti.
00:10:52Allocation 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.
00:11:18And 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.
00:11:33Priceless.
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. On one more thing.
00:11:46Management's decided to suspend you as vice president.
00:11:48It takes them to think about what you've done.
00:11:50And start preparing your handover.
00:11:52Oh? A 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.
00:12:09You got a problem with it? Take it up with her!
00:12:11Fair enough.
00:12:12Congratulations, Ava.
00:12:13I mean, director Stutton.
00:12:15Now you're getting it!
00:12:16Clear out your office. I'm moving in this afternoon.
00:12:25Why are you still here?
00:12:26This office is mine now.
00:12:28Can you try not to get in the way?
00:12:29Some of us actually have work to do.
00:12:32Oops.
00:12:33Guess my hand slipped.
00:12:35Then 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.
00:12:44Let's see if you can fill it.
00:12:52Wait!
00:12:54Yes, director Stutton.
00:12:55Need something else?
00:12:57I want everything you've got on Victor's story.
00:13:02Veronica, 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.
00:13:08Victoria's our biggest client.
00:13:10I've spent months winning him over.
00:13:12In the end, that jet helped close the deal.
00:13:14Everything's in the database. Knock 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 is 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,
00:13:30you'll be responsible for the damages.
00:13:32Actually, no. You suspended me.
00:13:35As far as this company's concerned, I 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,
00:13:44you should be capable enough to keep my clients.
00:13:47I've got somewhere to be.
00:13:48Good luck. You're gonna need it.
00:13:53Keep 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. What 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 and authorization from my phone.
00:14:12I want full control routed to my device.
00:14:14Of course. As the registered owner, that's entirely your right.
00:14:17We'll start immediately.
00:14:19Perfect.
00:14:23Veronica?
00:14:24Shouldn'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. I'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.
00:14:52It wouldn't matter anyway.
00:14:53The jet's booked.
00:14:54Rebecca and I are taking the jet to Chicago for a deal.
00:14:58Veronica, if you really need to travel for business, just book a coach flight.
00:15:02We'll reimburse the ticket as a courtesy.
00:15:07Reimburse me?
00:15:10Flying my jet.
00:15:12Burning my fuel.
00:15:14Closing their deals.
00:15:15And offering to reimburse me for a coach ticket?
00:15:18The 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.
00:15:43Now?
00:15:43No.
00:15:44That's too easy.
00:15:46If I'm going to ground them,
00:15:48I'll do it when they think they've won.
00:15:58Veronica!
00:15:58What the hell is wrong with you?
00:16:01Tom just tried to refuel and found your card declined.
00:16:04Do you have any idea what kind of mess this is causing?
00:16:06Calm down.
00:16:07That's my personal card.
00:16:08The system flagged suspicious activity.
00:16:10Of course I froze it.
00:16:12Victor lands tomorrow.
00:16:13The jet needs to be ready.
00:16:14Unfreeze the card.
00:16:15Now!
00:16:16Banks are closed for the weekend.
00:16:18Earliest I can unfreeze it is Monday.
00:16:20Are you doing this out of spite?
00:16:22I fined 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?
00:16:34You?
00:16:36I didn't care before.
00:16:38Back when I thought this company was ours.
00:16:40Now I do.
00:16:42Fine, Veronica!
00:16:43You want to play hardball?
00:16:44From now on, don't expect any more favors from the firm!
00:16:48Favors?
00:16:48When have you given your money favors?
00:16:55When Rebecca was struggling, I leased her an entire floor my father left me at half the market rate.
00:17:00And 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.
00:17:14I'm leasing out the 22nd floor of Manhattan Star Tower.
00:17:18Rent is negotiable.
00:17:20My only condition is simple.
00:17:21Move in within three days with full rent.
00:17:25How dare this bitch hang up on me!
00:17:27I'm the fucking CEO here!
00:17:29President Gray, a woman who throws a fit over a little jet fuel has no place in a firm of
00:17:34this caliber.
00:17:35Once we sign with Victor DeMauro, we'll kick her out for good.
00:17:48Mr. Sterling, please give a little more time.
00:17:52To show how much we value your business, I'm sending our private jet to bring you in personally.
00:17:59Is everything ready?
00:18:01Victor is our biggest investor.
00:18:03Absolutely nothing can go wrong today.
00:18:05I've got you, President Gray. The jet's totally ready to go.
00:18:09And since Mr. Sterling loves the VIP treatment, I've stocked the cabin with top-shelf champagne, gourmet catering, the works.
00:18:16Good.
00:18:18Nothing says success like the $30 million jet waiting on the runway.
00:18:22Victor will be signing before he even lands.
00:18:24President Gray, Ava may be young, but she's already left Veronica in the dust.
00:18:30Absolutely. Ava's the future of this firm.
00:18:33Veronica's way of doing things is ancient history. She was holding the firm back.
00:18:37You guys are giving me way too much credit. Everything I know came from President Gray.
00:18:42Alright, time for Cali. Let's get moving.
00:18:45Yes, ma'am.
00:18:57Get moving? Not unless I allow it.
00:19:04Hello?
00:19:05Miss Belton. I have a client who urgently needed office space.
00:19:08Only catch is, he's in debt collection, and his people can be a little rough.
00:19:11Want me to find someone more corporate?
00:19:13Debt collectors? Perfect.
00:19:16I've got some former tenants refusing to leave.
00:19:19If he clears them out today, I'll lease him the floor at half-rent.
00:19:23Absolutely. That's what they do best. I'll send them over now.
00:19:27Debt collectors and Victor showing up at the same time.
00:19:30This should be fine.
00:19:32Rebecca, I'd love to hear how you explain this one.
00:19:56What's going on? Where'd the plane stop?
00:19:58I-I don't know. The engine just cut out. The control board went dark.
00:20:02Then restart it. What 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? Are you idiots breaking my plane?
00:20:17No, ma'am. I did everything by the book. I've no idea why this is happening.
00:20:22For fuck's sake, fix it! If Victor walks, every one of your asses is fired.
00:20:29I've never seen anything like this before. I-I don't know what to do.
00:20:32Of course you don't!
00:20:34Suddenly, nobody knows how to do shit!
00:20:36This crap never happened when Veronica was here!
00:20:38Wait! If we get Vice President Belton's master key, we can reactivate the system.
00:20:43Okay, where the damn key?
00:20:45I-It should be with admin?
00:20:47Then why the fuck are you standing here? Go get it!
00:20:50Oh, okay. Right away.
00:20:57Too bad that key is junk now. The entire system's upgraded.
00:21:02Without my command, this jet isn't going anywhere.
00:21:14Here. Try it.
00:21:29Still nothing? Do you even know how to fly this thing?
00:21:32There's nothing I can do, ma'am. The jet's in full lockdown. The key's been disabled.
00:21:36The system says only the registered owner can unlock it with the master code.
00:21:41President Gray! It's the company, Jet!
00:21:43Surely you're the registered owner! Just punch the code in!
00:21:47I-
00:21:51It's been another hour. Where the hell is my plane?
00:21:54Are you running a business or a circus?
00:21:56Mr. Sterling, my sincerest apologies.
00:21:58We ran into a small technical issue. But it's being handled as we speak.
00:22:01We'll be there shortly.
00:22:06President Gray, Victor's getting impatient. Hurry and enter the code.
00:22:11I don't have it.
00:22:15What? You don't have the code?
00:22:24But this is a company asset. How do you not have the code?
00:22:31Well, Veronica always handled the jet.
00:22:35Veronica, right! Get her! She can unlock it.
00:22:48Veronica, stop goggling and get over here. Unlock the plane. Now.
00:22:53Unlock? I don't know what you're talking about.
00:22:55Stop playing dumb with me. The jet's locked. It won't move.
00:22:59It won't move? That's terrible. But what does it have to do with me?
00:23:04I'm not a mechanic. You should call maintenance.
00:23:06It's not broken. It's locked. Fix it now. If we miss Victor and lose this deal, I'll personally hold you
00:23:12responsible.
00:23:13That's strange, President Gray, because I distinctly remember you giving Ava full control of the jet.
00:23:18So why am I suddenly being called in to save the day?
00:23:21President Gray already told us you were the one managing the jet.
00:23:25I get it now.
00:23:26You're bitter because I replaced you, so you're trying to sabotage our deal with Victor.
00:23:34Exactly. I'm sabotaging you. What are you going to do about it?
00:23:41Veronica, you're trying to destroy this firm!
00:23:44You're risking our entire future just to settle a personal grudge!
00:23:48What does the firm have to do with me? I'm suspended, remember?
00:23:52You're the operations director now. If something's gone wrong, that's your problem, not mine.
00:23:58You! Veronica!
00:24:00I'm ordering you. Stop this nonsense and unlock the plane. Right now.
00:24:07And who are you to order me around?
00:24:10I am your boss.
00:24:12Interesting. Since when does being a boss entitle you to my private jet?
00:24:17Oh, please. That's a company jet and everyone knows it! How is it suddenly yours?
00:24:29Do yourself a favor. Open your eyes and read the owner's name.
00:24:45How is this possible?
00:24:55How is this possible?
00:24:57Because it's my jet. I decide when it flies, I decide when it stays grounded.
00:25:02And right now, it's staying right where it is.
00:25:06No. No way. That's impossible. This jet belonged to the company.
00:25:12You forged that document. You had to.
00:25:15Forged? Then go ahead. Ask your president.
00:25:18Ask her if she has the guts to stand here and tell everyone that jet belongs to her.
00:25:23Don't push me! I can fire you right here! Right now!
00:25:27That'd be fantastic. I've been dying to get out of this dump. Honestly, you'd be doing me a favor.
00:25:33You... you little...
00:25:45Rebecca, your jet never came. So I took mine.
00:25:49Should I assume you're no longer interested in doing business?
00:25:52Mr. Sterling, I am so sorry. We ran into an unexpected issue with the jet, but everything's under control now.
00:25:59That's not the point. I cleared my schedule and waited over an hour. My time is money, Ms. Gray.
00:26:04Or do you think yours is worth more than mine?
00:26:06No, no, sir! That's not what I meant! If you just let me explain...
00:26:10Save it. If it weren't Veronica, I would've walked away already.
00:26:24Miss Belton! It's been far too long.
00:26:27It's nice to see you too, Victor.
00:26:29Come on. Let's get out of here and talk business.
00:26:32I'm afraid that won't be possible.
00:26:34What do you mean?
00:26:35President Gray fired me a few minutes ago.
00:26:39What?
00:26:43Rebecca, what the hell is this?
00:26:46Veronica's track record is the only reason I was willing to consider this partnership.
00:26:50Mr. Sterling, this is all just a misunderstanding.
00:26:54Where's the misunderstanding? Did she not get fired?
00:26:58Mr. Sterling, Veronica was fired for abusing company privileges.
00:27:02She took the company jet without permission.
00:27:03Permission? Unless I'm mistaken, that gross dream belongs to Miss Veronica.
00:27:07Mr. Sterling, she's lied to you. That plane is company property.
00:27:11Ava!
00:27:12Shut your mouth!
00:27:19Veronica, explain this to Mr. Sterling.
00:27:22Please don't air our dirty laundry in front of an investor!
00:27:25Wait.
00:27:27That jet actually belonged to Veronica?
00:27:29Now you're worried about appearances?
00:27:32Where was that concern when you humiliated me in front of the entire company?
00:27:36When you let an intern step on me like dirt?
00:27:38Connie, we've been friends forever.
00:27:40Please, just do this for me.
00:27:42Friends don't stab each other in the back.
00:27:45As of today, you, me, and this company have nothing to do with one another.
00:27:49Rebecca, you've wasted my time.
00:27:51Veronica's the only reason I agreed to work together.
00:27:54Without her, I have no interest in doing business with your firm.
00:27:58Mr. Sterling, please, don't be hasty. We can still make this work.
00:28:01We can renegotiate the terms.
00:28:04Veronica lent you her jet for free, and you thanked her by firing her.
00:28:08If that's how you treat your best people, why would I trust you with my money?
00:28:11Veronica, I happen to have a very promising new project.
00:28:15Will you be interested?
00:28:17Mr. Sterling, please, give it another chance!
00:28:22Here's a free piece of advice, Ms. Gray.
00:28:24Character comes before business, and yours is bankrupt.
00:28:33President Gray, we've got problems.
00:28:35A bunch of people just stormed the office.
00:28:36They're tearing the place apart.
00:28:37You need to get back there now.
00:28:38What?
00:28:55What the hell is this?!
00:28:58Who let you people in here?!
00:29:00Get out!
00:29:01Or I'm calling the cops!
00:29:03Ms. Gray, I represent the owner of this property.
00:29:05I've been instructed to turn this floor over to a new tenant.
00:29:09Mr. Jack here will be taking possession today.
00:29:12A new tenant?!
00:29:14What the hell are you talking about?!
00:29:15This floor belongs to my company!
00:29:17It did, but your lease expired a few days ago.
00:29:20Since it wasn't renewed, you're required to vacate immediately,
00:29:23or will proceed with a formal eviction.
00:29:25The lease expired?
00:29:28Why wasn't it renewed?!
00:29:30The lease was always handled personally by President Gray.
00:29:34I don't know what happened.
00:29:37President Gray, call the landlord!
00:29:39There has to be some mistake!
00:29:40We're weeks away from going public!
00:29:42We can't lose this office!
00:29:46Ta-da!
00:29:47This entire floor belongs to my family.
00:29:49I'm renting it to the company at half price.
00:29:51Now we can build the business from the heart of Manhattan.
00:29:54Ronnie, you're the best friend anyone could ask for!
00:29:56I promise, once the company takes off, I'll pay back every penny plus interest.
00:30:00Oh God, I almost forgot.
00:30:02The landlord is Veronica.
00:30:07Rebecca, everyone's telling you to call the landlord.
00:30:10What's taking so long?
00:30:12Veronica!
00:30:13Why are you still here?!
00:30:15You were fired!
00:30:17Leave!
00:30:17Now!
00:30:18Watch your tone.
00:30:20Miss Veronica owns this floor.
00:30:21She has every right to be here.
00:30:23What?
00:30:24She's the landlord?
00:30:27No way!
00:30:28Veronica's just an employee.
00:30:30How could she possibly own a floor in a building like this?
00:30:33Maybe you should ask your dear President Gray.
00:30:35He knows exactly who owns this floor.
00:30:40You already took our biggest investor.
00:30:42Now you're trying to take our office too?
00:30:44Don't push it!
00:30:46Push it?
00:30:47This floor is mine.
00:30:48I can take it back whenever I want.
00:30:50Or are you about to tell me this building belongs to the company too?
00:30:54You?
00:30:55We've been paying rent on this floor for years!
00:30:58Yes.
00:30:59And your lease expired.
00:31:01Fine.
00:31:02I get it.
00:31:03You want money.
00:31:04We'll renew the lease.
00:31:05Great.
00:31:06That'd be two million a year.
00:31:10Two million?!
00:31:11Have you lost your mind?!
00:31:12We were paying one million!
00:31:16You've got to be kidding me.
00:31:18This is prime Manhattan real estate.
00:31:20Market rate's well over three million.
00:31:22Two million is a steal.
00:31:25If you can't afford it, I'll take it.
00:31:27Now pack your shit and get out.
00:31:30No, you can't do this.
00:31:31If we lose this office, where are we supposed to go?
00:31:34We're not leaving!
00:31:35Not leaving?
00:31:37But don't blame my boys for helping you out.
00:31:45Easy, Jack.
00:31:46They're not worth an assault charge.
00:31:47Just to throw their things and escort them out.
00:31:50You got it, Miss Veronica.
00:31:51Start moving!
00:31:57Veronica, if you're angry, take it out on me!
00:31:59We don't punish everyone else!
00:32:00These people have mortgages!
00:32:02Kids!
00:32:02Families depending on them!
00:32:07She's right, Vice President Belton!
00:32:08I have kids!
00:32:09I can't lose my job!
00:32:10We've worked together for years!
00:32:12Please don't do this!
00:32:13Now you care?
00:32:14Where were all of you when Ava was humiliating me?
00:32:17When I was getting thrown under the bus?
00:32:19Nobody said a word then.
00:32:21Veronica, are you trying to ruin me?!
00:32:23No.
00:32:24You did that yourself.
00:32:26You tried to steal my jet.
00:32:28You tried to push me out.
00:32:30This is the consequence.
00:32:32You...
00:32:33You bitch!
00:32:35Say whatever you want!
00:32:37I'm not going anywhere!
00:32:38And if anyone lays a finger on me,
00:32:40I'm calling the cops!
00:32:42That's right.
00:32:43We're staying.
00:32:44Let's see what you're gonna do about it.
00:32:45Jesus Christ.
00:32:46I've met some shameless people,
00:32:48but you two are in a league of their own.
00:32:49I ought to teach you a damn less-
00:32:51Not worth getting your hands dirty.
00:32:52She wants to call the cops?
00:32:54I think that's a great idea.
00:32:57Hello, Officer.
00:32:58I'd like to report trespassers refusing to leave my property.
00:33:00Could you send someone over?
00:33:07We've reviewed the lease.
00:33:09Ms. Gray, your tenancy has expired.
00:33:11Legally, you no longer have the right to occupy this space.
00:33:13Officer, there has to be some misunderstanding.
00:33:14We've been here for years.
00:33:15It doesn't matter how long you've been here, miss.
00:33:17Your lease expired.
00:33:17However, you do have the option to renew if the landlord agrees.
00:33:20Okay, we'll renew.
00:33:20We'll do it right now.
00:33:22Sure.
00:33:23Three million.
00:33:25What?!
00:33:25You just said two million!
00:33:27You stressed me out.
00:33:29So the price went up.
00:33:31Officer, are you hearing this?
00:33:33She raises the rent by a million dollars in five minutes!
00:33:37That must be illegal!
00:33:38Miss.
00:33:39It's her property.
00:33:41She can charge whatever she wants.
00:33:44Pay up or get out, lady.
00:33:46Office space in this part of Manhattan is practically impossible to find.
00:33:49If you can't afford it, I'll take it.
00:33:51Who said I can't afford it?!
00:33:52I'll pay!
00:33:55Veronica, can't you cut me a little slack after everything we've been through together?
00:34:00You know what? For old times' sake, I'll knock off ten grand.
00:34:03Let's call it 2.99 million.
00:34:05Veronica, this is insane!
00:34:07Maybe.
00:34:08But it's still my building.
00:34:10Get me the money in three days or pack your shit and get the hell out.
00:34:16You.
00:34:17You little...
00:34:18Fine, enjoy this while you can.
00:34:20Trust me, this company will do just fine without you.
00:34:23Then what's the problem?
00:34:24The company's doing so great. Pay me my money. Now!
00:34:28Just wait!
00:34:30You're gonna regret this!
00:34:31Though I already do.
00:34:33I regret not realizing sooner that you're nothing but an ungrateful, backstabbing little snake.
00:34:38How dare you talk to President Gray like that?!
00:34:41She made you VP, she trusted you, promoted you, stood by you!
00:34:44You're the ungrateful one!
00:34:45Look at that.
00:34:47Such a loyal lapdog.
00:34:49Getting screwed over and still begging for another kick.
00:34:52Three days, Rebecca.
00:34:53That's all you've got.
00:34:59Stone cold bitch!
00:35:00After everything we've been through and she would do this to me?
00:35:03Kick me while I'm down?
00:35:04What do we do now, President?
00:35:05All our cash is tied up in production, we don't have three million.
00:35:08Are we really getting thrown out in three days?
00:35:10Are you seriously asking me?
00:35:12None of this would have happened if you hadn't gone after Veronica and that damn jet!
00:35:19But you were the one who told me someone was abusing the company jet and ordered me investigate.
00:35:23How is this suddenly all my fault?
00:35:25I told you to investigate, not start a war with Veronica.
00:35:29Now our biggest client is gone and we're losing the office and it's all because of you!
00:35:34Fix this mess!
00:35:36Fast!
00:35:37Or start packing your shit and get out!
00:35:52Veronica, this isn't over! Victor isn't the only client in the damn world!
00:36:03Steven, that venture you mentioned, we're very interested.
00:36:07Mr. Butler, hello, Rebecca here.
00:36:09Mr. Chan?
00:36:10Rebecca Gray?
00:36:12Yes, that's right.
00:36:13Any chance you're free for dinner?
00:36:15I'd love to discuss.
00:36:16Our IPO is moving ahead as planned.
00:36:19Perfect.
00:36:20I wanted to follow up on your interest investing.
00:36:23Absolutely.
00:36:23All myself available anytime.
00:36:26See you tonight.
00:36:32As long as I lock down these deals, especially Butler's investment, we'll still go public.
00:36:37And when we do, Veronica, you'll regret ever crossing me.
00:36:46No, no.
00:36:47If Merol collapses, the firm's finished. I can't let that happen.
00:36:52Pathetic.
00:36:53The second things go wrong, she falls apart.
00:36:56Maybe I should just fire her.
00:36:59Then again, why waste a perfectly good asset?
00:37:03I remember Butler has a weakness for young, pretty women.
00:37:06She's dumb as a brick, but she's not hard on the eyes.
00:37:09Yes.
00:37:14President Gray, I'm trying to figure something out.
00:37:18Hey.
00:37:19I didn't think the prodigy I handpicked was this fragile.
00:37:22You're not mad at me anymore?
00:37:24Oh, sweetheart.
00:37:25I was never mad at you.
00:37:27I'm just frustrated with the situation that backstabbing bitch Veronica put in.
00:37:34President Gray.
00:37:36Honestly, I admire your integrity.
00:37:38You're brave enough to call out what's wrong, even when nobody else will.
00:37:41That's what makes you so special.
00:37:47Everybody, stop what you're doing and come here for a second.
00:37:51I have two announcements to make.
00:37:53First, about Veronica.
00:37:55That ungrateful snake stabbed this company in the back.
00:37:58She stole our biggest client and tried to squeeze us with a rent hike when we were already under pressure.
00:38:07But here's the good news.
00:38:09We're not sinking just because she jumped shut.
00:38:11I've already lined up meetings with several major clients.
00:38:14If we land these deals, our IPO stays on track.
00:38:17And when that happens, everyone here gets a double bonus.
00:38:22Double bonuses?
00:38:23Really?
00:38:24I knew Rebecca would pull through.
00:38:26To hell with Veronica.
00:38:27Exactly.
00:38:28The company is better off without her.
00:38:30You better believe it's true.
00:38:31I'll be closing these deals myself tonight.
00:38:34Veronica thinks this company rises and falls with her.
00:38:36She's delusional.
00:38:38Now get back to work.
00:38:39We've got an IPO to win.
00:38:42President!
00:38:44President!
00:38:45President!
00:38:45Alright, enough tears.
00:38:47Go freshen up.
00:38:48You're coming with me tonight to meet some big clients.
00:38:50Yes!
00:38:51Of course!
00:38:52Thank you, President Gray!
00:38:53She's taking me to meet clients?
00:38:55I knew she had big plans for me.
00:38:57This is my time to shine.
00:39:02Mr. Jack, thanks for having my back today.
00:39:05Sorry you have to wait a little longer.
00:39:07But I promise, in three days, this floor will be yours.
00:39:09That's what I like to hear.
00:39:11I'll be waiting for the good news, Miss Veronica.
00:39:18Sorry you had to sit through all that, Victor.
00:39:20It's been too long.
00:39:21Let me make it up to you over dinner.
00:39:23Sounds good.
00:39:24Lead the way.
00:39:28That was quite a show today.
00:39:30If you don't mind me saying so,
00:39:32Rebecca's true colors are not flattering.
00:39:34No kidding.
00:39:35It's a shame it took me this long to see them.
00:39:38Better late than never.
00:39:40But I'm curious.
00:39:42If Rebecca somehow comes up with the money in three days,
00:39:45are you really giving her the office back?
00:39:47Well, I own the floor.
00:39:49Whether she stays or goes depends entirely on my mood that day.
00:39:53Veronica, you're playing with her, aren't you?
00:39:55I've never claimed to be a saint.
00:39:57They made my life hell.
00:39:58Now it's my turn to return the praver.
00:40:03Excuse me, Victor.
00:40:04I need to take this.
00:40:06Miss Belton.
00:40:07We've finished gathering the evidence regarding Rebecca's misloose of your assets.
00:40:12Shall we file?
00:40:15Hold off for now.
00:40:16A lawsuit alone is letting them off too easy.
00:40:19What do you have in mind?
00:40:20I'm a bit busy right now.
00:40:21I'll call you later.
00:40:23What is it?
00:40:25Planning another surprise for Rebecca?
00:40:27You could say that.
00:40:28By the time I'm done, Rebecca will regret every decision she's made.
00:40:32I'm sorry, Victor.
00:40:34I'm afraid I'll have to cut dinner short.
00:40:35No worries.
00:40:36Anything you need, just call.
00:40:38You're a valued partner, Rebecca.
00:40:40You think carefully about that project I mentioned.
00:40:42I will.
00:40:43Thanks, Victor.
00:40:44See you soon.
00:40:48Remarkable woman.
00:40:49Sharp.
00:40:50Decisive.
00:40:51Never waste time.
00:40:54Mr. Sterling?
00:40:55Mr. Butler just called.
00:40:56He heard you're in New York.
00:40:58Coincidentally, he's attending a dinner here tonight and would like you to join.
00:41:01Oh?
00:41:03Who's hosting it?
00:41:04Rebecca Gray.
00:41:06She's moving fast.
00:41:07Already chasing Butler's money.
00:41:09Looks like she's trying to lock down his investment.
00:41:11If she pull it off, she might just keep Echelon afloat.
00:41:15Tell Butler I won't be able to make it.
00:41:17Yes, sir.
00:41:18And one more thing.
00:41:19Bring Butler up to speed on today's events.
00:41:21Everything Rebecca did to Varenica, don't leave out a single detail.
00:41:24Yes, sir.
00:41:28Rebecca, what goes around always comes around.
00:41:34Rebecca, it's been too long.
00:41:36I swear you get more beautiful every time I see you.
00:41:38Oh, Mr. Chan, you're making me blush.
00:41:41Come on, everyone.
00:41:42Let's enjoy ourselves tonight.
00:41:43Rebecca, who's this gorgeous young lady?
00:41:46She's absolutely breathtaking.
00:41:48Just as I thought.
00:41:49The honey old bastard is walking right into it.
00:41:52Keep Ava smiling at him and that investment is mine.
00:41:55Veronica, you won't beat me.
00:41:56Mr. Butler, this is Ava, our newly appointed director of operations.
00:42:01Going forward, she'll be your primary point of contact.
00:42:04How does that sound?
00:42:05Wonderful.
00:42:06Miss Ava is quite impressive and remarkably young.
00:42:09By the way, where's Veronica?
00:42:11Yeah, isn't Veronica usually the one running these meetings?
00:42:14That's right.
00:42:15I've always worked directly with Veronica.
00:42:16Why isn't she here tonight?
00:42:18Oh, Veronica had a personal matter come up.
00:42:20She couldn't make it tonight.
00:42:21But don't worry.
00:42:21I'll take good care of everyone myself.
00:42:23What are you standing around for?
00:42:25Go pour Mr. Butler a drink?
00:42:31Hey!
00:42:32What the hell?
00:42:33Ava!
00:42:33What the hell is wrong with you?
00:42:35Why are you making a scene?
00:42:36President Gray, he touched me!
00:42:38Enough!
00:42:39Mr. Butler is one of our most important investors.
00:42:42He was just joking around.
00:42:43What's the big deal?
00:42:44If you upset him and cost us this investment, you'll be the one paying for it.
00:42:54I'm sorry, Mr. Butler.
00:42:55Then stop standing there and pour Mr. Butler another drink.
00:43:06Mr. Butler, as you know, we're entering the final stride before our IPO.
00:43:10About that additional investment you mentioned?
00:43:13You're putting me in a tough spot.
00:43:14My last investment hasn't exactly paid off yet.
00:43:19Mr. Butler, we're this close to going public.
00:43:22One more round of funding, and you'll be looking at a massive return.
00:43:29You may have a point.
00:43:31Veronica was always impressive.
00:43:33With someone like her running things, success seems inevitable.
00:43:37Maybe I could put in a little more.
00:43:45You fired Veronica?!
00:43:50Mr. Butler, please, let me explain.
00:43:52Explain what?!
00:43:53Everyone in our circle is talking about it!
00:43:55You stabbed Veronica in the back!
00:43:57She let you use her private jet to impress clients, and you tried to steal it from her?!
00:44:00You fired the woman who built this company and replaced her with some dumb bimbo intern?!
00:44:04I can't believe someone can be this stupid!
00:44:06He's right.
00:44:07We all know that Gulfstream belongs to Veronica.
00:44:09That's a hell of a way to repay someone.
00:44:11Mr. Butler, Mr. Chan, you've got it all wrong.
00:44:14Veronica broke company policy first.
00:44:16That's-
00:44:16Please!
00:44:17Without Veronica, this company has all value.
00:44:19I invested in her.
00:44:21Not whatever this circus is supposed to be.
00:44:23You killed the golden goose, Rebecca, and now the eggs stopped coming.
00:44:26My money's out, first thing tomorrow.
00:44:28Mr. Butler, please.
00:44:30Veronica may be gone, but the team is still here.
00:44:32We can still deliver.
00:44:33Deliver what?
00:44:34I've had money in your tied up for months and haven't seen a dime back.
00:44:37The only reason I stayed in was because I trusted Veronica.
00:44:39Ava, don't just stand there.
00:44:42Beg!
00:44:42Mr. Butler, please don't leave.
00:44:45Just give us one more chance.
00:44:47Mr. Butler, if you keep your investment, Ava is yours for tonight.
00:44:52She'll do anything you want.
00:44:54President Gray, what did you say?
00:44:58President Gray, you can't be serious.
00:45:01Do it for the company.
00:45:02Get Butler's investment and I'll make you VP.
00:45:04And let's be honest, he's one of the most powerful players on Wall Street.
00:45:07You could do a lot worse.
00:45:09That's right, Mr. Butler.
00:45:11Whatever you want tonight, I'm at your service.
00:45:14Jesus Christ.
00:45:15You two really have no shame.
00:45:17Sure, I like beautiful women.
00:45:19What man doesn't?
00:45:19But do I look stupid enough to throw away millions for a bimbo?
00:45:26You've really hit rock bottom.
00:45:28Primping out your own employee for money?
00:45:30That's disgusting.
00:45:32Exactly.
00:45:32You betrayed the partner who helped build your company.
00:45:35Who's to say we won't be next?
00:45:36Wait.
00:45:37Please don't go.
00:45:38We can renegotiate.
00:45:39Whatever terms you want, we'll make it work.
00:45:40Don't walk away.
00:45:41Rebecca, money comes and goes.
00:45:43The character doesn't.
00:45:44I wouldn't trust you with a damn penny.
00:45:49What?
00:45:50Why does everyone believe that bitch instead of me?
00:45:52I'm the president!
00:45:53I built this company!
00:45:57Rebecca, please calm down.
00:45:59We still have plenty of clients in the pipeline.
00:46:01And once those final payments come in next month, we'll be fine.
00:46:03We'll have the rent money.
00:46:05You're right.
00:46:06We still have money coming in.
00:46:10Veronica, don't think this company can't survive without you.
00:46:14I'm not losing.
00:46:15Not to you!
00:46:19Miss Belton, these are the legal filings against Rebecca and her company.
00:46:23Please have a look.
00:46:24Thank you for coming out this late, Mr. Davis.
00:46:26Just doing my job.
00:46:27As for the damage Ava caused, I've had everything appraised.
00:46:30Total damages come to $8.5 million.
00:46:33We'll be seeking full compensation.
00:46:34Excellent.
00:46:35And the office lease?
00:46:36Recovering the discounted rent will be difficult.
00:46:38You agreed to those terms voluntarily.
00:46:39However, for the past three years, you've personally covered utilities, maintenance, and building expenses.
00:46:44We can recover every penny.
00:46:46Good.
00:46:47But I want to add one more claim.
00:46:48I'm suing for defamation.
00:46:50This notice branded me a thief and dragged my name through the mud.
00:46:53I want them held accountable for every word.
00:46:55Absolutely.
00:46:56This is textbook defamation.
00:46:57They presented fabricated allegations as fact.
00:46:59They're going down.
00:47:00Perfect.
00:47:01File everything immediately.
00:47:03I want Rebecca paying back every cent she owes me.
00:47:05With interest.
00:47:06Understood.
00:47:07I'll work through the night and file first thing tomorrow.
00:47:14President Gray, these are the files for all our key accounts.
00:47:17I've organized everything for you.
00:47:19Good.
00:47:20As long as we keep these clients, the final payments should clear within two weeks.
00:47:24That'll buy us some breathing room.
00:47:25But Veronica only gave us three days.
00:47:27Are we really going to get kicked out?
00:47:29Absolutely not.
00:47:30If we get thrown out, we'll be the laughing stock of the industry.
00:47:32It's only three million.
00:47:33I'll get a loan if I have to.
00:47:35Once the payments come in, we'll pay it back.
00:47:37President!
00:47:38This is bad.
00:47:39Really bad.
00:47:41Would everyone stop panicking for five damn minutes?
00:47:43What happened now?
00:47:44All our major clients just called.
00:47:46They want out.
00:47:47They're terminating their contracts.
00:47:49What?
00:47:52What the hell happened?
00:47:54Everything was fine yesterday.
00:47:55Because they were Veronica's clients.
00:47:57Every single one.
00:47:58She brought them in through her own connections.
00:48:00The whole industry knows you fired Veronica and tried to take her jet.
00:48:03They don't trust this company anymore.
00:48:04So they're bailing.
00:48:05Veronica again!
00:48:07This is all because of that bitch!
00:48:10President Gray!
00:48:10We're screwed!
00:48:12Fendler just sent formal notice.
00:48:14He's pulling his investment.
00:48:15And he wants his ten million back immediately!
00:48:18He's pulling out?
00:48:19Ten million?
00:48:20Can he do that?
00:48:21Somebody call him and work something out!
00:48:23We can't get a hold of him.
00:48:24Veronica always handled Butler personally.
00:48:26I've barely spoken to the man.
00:48:28His lawyers are already involved.
00:48:30If we don't return ten million within three days,
00:48:32they're taking us to court!
00:48:35We're screwed.
00:48:36We can't even cover rent and now we owe ten million dollars?
00:48:39Forget the IPO.
00:48:40At this rate we'll be bankrupt within weeks.
00:48:41I'm updating my resume tonight.
00:48:42Everybody shut up!
00:48:44This company isn't dead yet!
00:48:46I'm still standing here, aren't I?
00:48:52Who are you people?
00:49:00Rebecca Gray?
00:49:02Y-yes, that's me.
00:49:03We're with the Manhattan District Court.
00:49:05Ms. Belton has filed suit against you and your company.
00:49:07The claims include unlawful possession of private property, property damage, and defamation.
00:49:12Please accept service.
00:49:13Your court date in three days.
00:49:19What?!
00:49:19Veronica actually sued me?!
00:49:21Please sign here, Ms. Gray.
00:49:26So this is how far you're willing to take it.
00:49:29You want to destroy me?
00:49:30You want war?
00:49:31Fine.
00:49:32See you in court, bitch!
00:49:34This fight isn't over!
00:49:36Win?
00:49:37With what?
00:49:38Everything Veronica's suing over is backed by hard evidence.
00:49:40You're dead in the water.
00:49:41We can't afford this.
00:49:42The damages, the rent, the legal fees.
00:49:44We're screwed.
00:49:48Everyone, calm down!
00:49:49President Gray has gotten us through worse.
00:49:51If we stick together, we'll get through this too!
00:49:53And once the company goes public, we'll all be rewarded.
00:49:56You seriously have the nerve to say that?
00:49:58If you hadn't messed with Veronica, this company wouldn't be falling apart.
00:50:02Exactly!
00:50:02You spent three months kissing ass and climbing the ladder?
00:50:05Well, congrats!
00:50:06You got your promotion and you dragged the whole company down with you!
00:50:09Why is everyone blaming me?
00:50:11I reported Veronica because I was protecting the company.
00:50:13How was I supposed to know the jet was hers?
00:50:15Didn't you think to check the facts before blowing everything up?
00:50:17Everything started with you. Own it!
00:50:19I didn't know the jet was hers, but you have been with the company long enough to know.
00:50:23Why didn't any of you stand up for her?
00:50:25If just one person had, none of this would have happened!
00:50:27We knew.
00:50:28But so did President Gray.
00:50:29So what are you saying?
00:50:30That this is Rebecca's fault?
00:50:34No!
00:50:35President Gray!
00:50:36I swear, that's not what I meant!
00:50:42No, that's not what I meant.
00:50:44If that's not what you meant, then this mess is on you.
00:50:46Exactly.
00:50:47You've got two options.
00:50:48Either bring those clients back, or bring Veronica back.
00:50:50Me?
00:50:51I just got promoted.
00:50:52I don't know any clients.
00:50:54How am I supposed to bring them back?
00:50:56Then go get Veronica.
00:50:57Why should I be the one begging her?
00:50:59Because this company is about to go under.
00:51:01You're the new operations director.
00:51:02If you can't bring Veronica back, then that's on you.
00:51:06President Gray, are you hearing this?
00:51:09What's that supposed to mean, Director Sutton?
00:51:11You make the mess, then expect the president to clean it up for you?
00:51:13No, that's not what I meant.
00:51:15The company is out of options.
00:51:17Cash flow is collapsing.
00:51:18Clients are gone.
00:51:19Veronica is the only person who can save us now.
00:51:22Let's see if this idiot can fix the disaster she created.
00:51:25Enough!
00:51:25All of you!
00:51:27Ava, this started with you.
00:51:29So you'll fix it.
00:51:30Go bring Veronica back.
00:51:31But President!
00:51:31Ava, I know this feels unfair.
00:51:33But it's for the company.
00:51:34Bring Veronica back.
00:51:35Help us survive.
00:51:36When we go public, I'll make you the VP.
00:51:43Good luck, Director Sutton.
00:51:44All of our livelihoods are riding hour now.
00:51:46Fine!
00:51:47I'll go!
00:51:48And when I bring Veronica back, let's see what all of you have to say then!
00:51:57Veronica, I'd say we've got a deal.
00:52:01Pleasure doing business with you, Victor.
00:52:08Hey, Veronica.
00:52:10Can we talk?
00:52:12Of course.
00:52:18Veronica, I'm sorry.
00:52:19I should've checked the facts before reporting you.
00:52:23I was wrong.
00:52:25Wow.
00:52:25What did Rebecca promise you this time?
00:52:28Must be one hell of a promotion to get an apology out of you.
00:52:31I mean it.
00:52:32I'm really sorry.
00:52:34Be mad at me if you want.
00:52:36But please, stop coming after the company.
00:52:40No.
00:52:41Veronica!
00:52:42Don't push it!
00:52:43I apologize!
00:52:44What else do you want from me?!
00:52:46An apology?
00:52:47Ava, let's be honest.
00:52:49If I were still the Veronica you humiliated in front of the entire company,
00:52:52would you be here apologizing right now?
00:52:58You wouldn't.
00:53:00You'd be sitting in my office right now bragging about how you took down the VP.
00:53:04I was following company policy.
00:53:06I made a mistake.
00:53:07I should've looked into it more carefully, that's all.
00:53:11I haven't done anything wrong either.
00:53:13I'm taking back what's mine.
00:53:15I'm suing the people who wronged me.
00:53:17So tell me, what exactly do you think I owe you?
00:53:21You're unbelievably selfish.
00:53:23It's just a jet!
00:53:24Because of you, the company's falling apart.
00:53:27You got your revenge.
00:53:28But what about everyone else?
00:53:30When the company collapses, how are they supposed to support their families?
00:53:37I didn't destroy the company.
00:53:40You and Rekka did.
00:53:41The employees aren't my problem.
00:53:43And if the company goes under, they'll find another job.
00:53:47Just like I did.
00:53:52Miss Ava, you're still very young.
00:53:56What is that supposed to mean?
00:53:59Rebecca fed you a fairy tale and sent you here to beg.
00:54:04The sad part is, you bought it.
00:54:07Who the hell are you to judge me?
00:54:08I just wanted to prove myself!
00:54:10There's nothing wrong with ambition.
00:54:12The problem is stepping on people to get ahead.
00:54:14And when your ambition's bigger than your ability, you crash.
00:54:19You're saying I'm not good enough?!
00:54:21If you are, you wouldn't have company in three weeks.
00:54:23And you definitely wouldn't be here begging me to save it.
00:54:32Honestly, you're so painfully naive that I almost feel bad for you.
00:54:35So here's some free advice.
00:54:37Walk away from Rebecca.
00:54:39Quit today.
00:54:40Find a real company, start from the bottom, and learn how business actually works.
00:54:44No way!
00:54:45I work too hard to get where I am!
00:54:47I'm not going back to fetching coffee and making coffee!
00:54:49And stop pretending you care!
00:54:50If you're so great, come back!
00:54:52I'll give you your VP job back myself!
00:54:54Keep it.
00:54:56I'm building my own company.
00:54:57And we're done here.
00:54:59You can go now.
00:55:00You're a selfish bitch, Veronica!
00:55:03You think you're better than everyone because you're rich?!
00:55:06Just wait!
00:55:07One day you'll regret this!
00:55:14She really is Rebecca all over again.
00:55:17Arrogant, greedy, and far dumber than she realizes.
00:55:21They're not worth another minute of our time.
00:55:23Now, Victor, shall we get back to building something successful?
00:55:34Well?
00:55:35Did you see Veronica?
00:55:36Is she coming back?
00:55:38President Gray, I...
00:55:42You're useless! I made you director!
00:55:44And you can't even handle one simple task?!
00:55:46I tried!
00:55:47I apologized!
00:55:48I begged her, but she wouldn't listen!
00:55:50I don't care!
00:55:51If Veronica doesn't come back, this company is finished!
00:55:54Go find her again!
00:55:55If she won't listen, get on your knees!
00:55:57Stay there until she changes her mind!
00:56:01You want me to kneel to her?
00:56:05Damn right!
00:56:06This mess started with you!
00:56:08Now fix it!
00:56:10I don't care what you have to do!
00:56:11Just bring her back!
00:56:13I reported her because I thought I was protecting the company!
00:56:17Save it!
00:56:18I don't want excuses!
00:56:19You're the director now!
00:56:20Fix the damn problem!
00:56:24What now?!
00:56:25Can't you see I'm in the middle of something?!
00:56:28President Gray, three more employees from the business team just resigned!
00:56:32Unbelievable!
00:56:33A bunch of ungrateful cowards!
00:56:35The second things get tough, they run!
00:56:38President, everyone can see where this is headed.
00:56:40Without Veronica, this company won't survive.
00:56:42People have families to support, you can't really blame them.
00:56:45What's that supposed to mean?
00:56:46Are you quitting too?
00:56:48No, President, I don't want to leave.
00:56:50But given the situation, you and Veronica were best friends once.
00:56:56Ava couldn't convince her.
00:56:58Maybe you should try talking to her.
00:57:03You want me to beg that bitch?
00:57:05President Gray, it's our only chance.
00:57:08Put your pride aside.
00:57:09Give her a real apology.
00:57:12Remind her of everything you've been through together.
00:57:14She might listen.
00:57:15What the hell is that supposed to mean?!
00:57:17We're running out of time.
00:57:18If more people quit, it won't matter whether Veronica comes back or not.
00:57:21By then it'll be too late.
00:57:23Enough.
00:57:24Both of you, out.
00:57:25Let me think.
00:57:33Veronica, it's me.
00:57:35Fine.
00:57:36You won.
00:57:37I was wrong.
00:57:37You can come back now.
00:57:39Rebecca, is that really your idea of an apology?
00:57:42Veronica.
00:57:43I'm sorry.
00:57:44I know I messed up.
00:57:45Please, come back and help me.
00:57:47No.
00:57:47You're not sorry.
00:57:48You're just desperate.
00:57:49That's not true.
00:57:50I know I was wrong.
00:57:52If you want Ava gone, I'll fire her right now.
00:57:54Just say the word.
00:57:55Ronnie, please give me one more chance.
00:57:57I already gave you a chance.
00:57:59You threw it away.
00:58:00Veronica, just listen to me.
00:58:01I don't want to hear it.
00:58:03Save your excuses for the judge.
00:58:06Veronica, what the hell do you want from me?
00:58:08I swallowed my pride and apologized.
00:58:10Do you really have to drive me into the ground?
00:58:13Rebecca, let's be clear.
00:58:15I'm not destroying you.
00:58:16You did that yourself.
00:58:17Every mess you're in, you made it.
00:58:19This is insane.
00:58:20What do you get out of destroying the company?
00:58:21You spent three years building it too.
00:58:23Are you really willing to burn it all down?
00:58:25I never wanted to burn anything down.
00:58:27You lit the fire.
00:58:28You just didn't notice it until the flames reached you.
00:58:39I'm screwed.
00:58:41The company's falling apart.
00:58:43And Rebecca will throw me under the bus the second she gets the chance.
00:58:47I'll never be able to get a job again.
00:58:50No.
00:58:51Hell no.
00:58:52I worked too hard for this job.
00:58:53I'm not going back to being some nobody.
00:58:57The company just needs money.
00:58:58That's it.
00:58:59If I can save the company, Rebecca won't dare fire me.
00:59:03And then everyone will finally see I was right.
00:59:06Wait.
00:59:08I've got it.
00:59:10Victor Sterling.
00:59:12He's one of the biggest players on Wall Street.
00:59:15If I get him on board, everything changes.
00:59:24Veronica.
00:59:25You ungrateful bitch.
00:59:28The number you are trying to reach is unavailable.
00:59:31She blocked me?
00:59:32That bitch actually blocked me?
00:59:39Damn you, Veronica!
00:59:41You cold-hearted bitch!
00:59:42I hope karma tears your life apart!
00:59:46What am I supposed to do now?
00:59:48Without Veronica, this company is finished.
00:59:50Do I really have to get on my knees and beg her in front of everyone?
00:59:53Fine.
00:59:55Then I'll beg.
01:00:00Who cares about my pride?
01:00:01If it saves the company, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:00:03And once the company is safe, I'll deal with Veronica later.
01:00:07But first, that useless idiot Ava has to go.
01:00:14Maybe if I give Veronica a scapegoat, she'll back off.
01:00:18HR.
01:00:19Draft a termination notice.
01:00:20I want Ava gone by the end of the day.
01:00:22Just to confirm.
01:00:23President Gray, you'd like Director Sutton terminated immediately?
01:00:27President!
01:00:28I found a way to save the company!
01:00:35President Gray?
01:00:37Were you about to fire me?
01:00:40Buffoon!
01:00:41I was talking about Eva from tech, not you.
01:00:44Come on!
01:00:44You're my future VP.
01:00:46Now tell me about this brilliant plan of yours.
01:00:52Victor, he's about to partner with Veronica, right?
01:00:55Then we take him away from her.
01:00:57One deal is enough to turn things around.
01:00:59Take him away?
01:01:00Victor Sterling is loyal to a fault.
01:01:03And right now, he's firmly in Veronica's corner.
01:01:05Why would he ever choose us?
01:01:07Not willingly.
01:01:08But everyone has something to lose.
01:01:10We just need leverage.
01:01:12Leverage?
01:01:13What kind of leverage?
01:01:14Simple.
01:01:15We invite him out, spike his drink.
01:01:18Once he's out of it, I'll take him back to a hotel room and get some photos.
01:01:21Once we get those, he'll do whatever we ask.
01:01:24Either he cooperates, or he explains the pictures.
01:01:30Eva, you're a genius!
01:01:33If we land Victor, we solve everything.
01:01:37The rent, the clients, all of it.
01:01:39And Veronica will never see it coming.
01:01:44Mr. Sterling, hello, it's Rebecca.
01:01:46Rebecca, I believe we've said all there to say.
01:01:49I'm busy.
01:01:49Wait!
01:01:50Please!
01:01:51Don't hang up!
01:01:52Mr. Sterling, I'm calling to apologize.
01:01:55To you and to Veronica.
01:01:57Bit late for that, isn't it?
01:01:59I never wanted things to end up like this.
01:02:01I trusted the wrong people.
01:02:03Eva kept feeding me lies and turning me against Veronica.
01:02:05By the time I realized what was happening, the damage was done.
01:02:09But I've finally seen her for who she really is.
01:02:11I terminated her this morning.
01:02:14You actually fired her?
01:02:17Absolutely.
01:02:18Mr. Sterling, I truly regret everything.
01:02:20Please, just give me one chance to make things right.
01:02:24Fine.
01:02:24For Veronica's sake, I'll hear what you have to say.
01:02:29That's wonderful!
01:02:30Tonight, 7 o'clock, the Stardust Restaurant on the 5th.
01:02:34I'll see you there.
01:02:36Got him.
01:02:37Victor took the bait.
01:02:39Then I'll go make the arrangements right now.
01:02:41Ava, if this gets the company through the crisis and we make it to IPO,
01:02:44that VP spot is definitely yours.
01:02:47President Gray, you can count on me.
01:02:48I won't let you down.
01:03:06Victor?
01:03:08Once I have something on you, let's see how tough you act then.
01:03:14Mr. Sterling, it's so good to see you!
01:03:18Mr. Sterling, we've definitely had our differences.
01:03:23I was hoping we could clear the air.
01:03:26I'm listening.
01:03:29Honestly, this whole mess started with Ava.
01:03:31If it weren't for her, none of this would have happened.
01:03:36Is that so?
01:03:39Absolutely.
01:03:40She brought me fake evidence and manipulated me.
01:03:43That's what called the problems between Veronica and me.
01:03:45But don't worry.
01:03:46I've already fired her.
01:03:47Mr. Sterling, I'm asking for one chance.
01:03:50Please arrange a meeting with Veronica.
01:03:52I want to explain everything face to face.
01:03:54Fine.
01:03:55I will ask.
01:03:56But if Veronica doesn't buy it, you're on your own.
01:03:59And if Veronica still refuses, I promise I won't bother you again.
01:04:02Mr. Sterling, toast.
01:04:04Thank you for being so generous.
01:04:13Well, if that's everything, I'll be on my way.
01:04:16Of course, Mr. Sterling.
01:04:19Take care.
01:04:22Why am I so dizzy?
01:04:26You put something in my drink, didn't you?
01:04:58What the hell did you do to me?
01:05:02What do you think?
01:05:02A man and a woman alone in a hotel room?
01:05:04Use your imagination.
01:05:07You sick bastards!
01:05:08You drugged me?!
01:05:12Shut up, Victor.
01:05:14You're dropping Veronica and signing with us.
01:05:17That's right.
01:05:18And you're gonna tell everyone that Veronica lied.
01:05:21You'll say the only reason you partnered with her was because she slept with you.
01:05:25Not happening!
01:05:26Then these photos go public tomorrow morning.
01:05:29A Wall Street Titan caught in a hotel room scandal.
01:05:33And you know what?
01:05:34Ava might even claim it wasn't consensual.
01:05:37Tell me, Victor.
01:05:39How do you think that plays on the evening news?
01:05:41You're both psych.
01:05:43Fine.
01:05:43I'll sign.
01:05:44But I'll never lie about Veronica.
01:05:46Release the photos if you want.
01:05:47You'll destroy yourselves right along with me.
01:05:49You-
01:05:49President Gray, relax.
01:05:51I have a better idea.
01:05:52What better idea?
01:05:55If we can get leverage on Victor, we can get leverage on Veronica too.
01:05:59You mean, the second Victor signs with us, Veronica will come looking for answers.
01:06:02When she does, we'll be ready.
01:06:03Then we'll have everything we need to ruin her.
01:06:05Good.
01:06:06That's exactly what we'll do.
01:06:08I want her humiliated in front of everyone.
01:06:10I'll contact my supplier.
01:06:12This time I'm getting the strongest stuff they have.
01:06:14When we're done with her, she'll be finished.
01:06:16These two psychos drugged me without a second thought.
01:06:19There's no way they'll stop it, Veronica.
01:06:21I need to warn her.
01:06:23Before it's too late.
01:06:39Veronica, good evening.
01:06:41The day after tomorrow is our big project signing ceremony.
01:06:44As your former partner, I'd love for you to be there and witness our comeback firsthand.
01:06:49No thanks.
01:06:50Find someone else to annoy.
01:06:52You don't even want to know who we're signing?
01:06:54Couldn't care less.
01:06:56Victor.
01:06:57Surprised?
01:06:58He already agreed to partner with us.
01:06:59What?
01:07:00That's impossible.
01:07:01Victor would never work with you.
01:07:03How cute.
01:07:04In business, there are no permanent enemies.
01:07:06Only permanent profits.
01:07:08Signing ceremony.
01:07:09Tomorrow.
01:07:1010am.
01:07:10The Manhattan Intercontinental.
01:07:12Don't be late, Veronica.
01:07:13I'd hate for you to miss watching me win.
01:07:16Something's off.
01:07:17Victor is a man of integrity.
01:07:19He made it crystal clear he wanted nothing to do with Rebecca.
01:07:21There's no way he changed his mind overnight.
01:07:24Something happened.
01:07:25And whatever it is, it stinks.
01:07:38Victor's not answering.
01:07:39Definitely not normal.
01:07:41No.
01:07:43I'm getting to the bottom of this.
01:07:47Smith?
01:07:49It's Veronica.
01:07:49Veronica.
01:07:50I need you to track Rebecca, Ava, and Victor.
01:07:52Every move they've made in the last 24 hours.
01:07:55No problem, Mrs. Veronica.
01:07:56I'll get right on it.
01:08:03I'll get right on it.
01:08:03Don't believe it.
01:08:04Victor actually signed with Rebecca.
01:08:06A few days ago, they looked ready to kill each other.
01:08:08Look at Victor.
01:08:10Biggest deal of the year, and he looks like he's headed to a funeral.
01:08:12Something's definitely off.
01:08:14Even strangers can see something's wrong.
01:08:17Yeah.
01:08:17This stinks.
01:08:22Mr. Sterling.
01:08:26Veronica.
01:08:26What are you doing here?
01:08:28You need to leave.
01:08:29Now.
01:08:30This place isn't safe.
01:08:32Victor, what the hell is going on?
01:08:34Why would you suddenly agree to sign with Rebecca?
01:08:39Don't ask.
01:08:40Just get out of here.
01:08:42And stay away from Rebecca and Ava.
01:08:45Those two are planning something.
01:08:49What are they planning?
01:08:51I don't know the details.
01:08:52But they've set a trap for you.
01:08:54Veronica, I'm sorry.
01:08:55I can't go through with our deal.
01:08:57Please.
01:08:58Just leave.
01:09:01Victor.
01:09:03Tell me the truth.
01:09:06Stop asking.
01:09:07Those women have no limits.
01:09:09I'm not dragging you into this.
01:09:17Mrs. Veronica, we got everything.
01:09:19Last night, Rebecca and Ava drugged Mr. Sterling at a restaurant.
01:09:23Then they took him to a hotel and photographed him to blackmail him.
01:09:27They drugged him?
01:09:28Those sick, desperate bitches actually did it!
01:09:31I have proof.
01:09:32Photos of Rebecca drugging Victor.
01:09:34Photos of them moving him into the hotel unconscious.
01:09:36And records showing Ava purchased the drugs.
01:09:39Good work.
01:09:43Victor.
01:09:45You don't have to be afraid anymore.
01:09:48What?
01:09:49Because I already have everything.
01:09:51Proof they drugged you.
01:09:53Proof they blackmailed you.
01:09:56And enough evidence to bury both of them.
01:09:59Wait.
01:10:00Are you serious?
01:10:04Mr. Sterling.
01:10:05We've got them.
01:10:05The evidence is airtight.
01:10:07Drugging someone and blackmailing them for business leverage is freliny.
01:10:13Good.
01:10:13Those evil bitches are finished.
01:10:15I swear I'll do everything I can to see them behind bars.
01:10:20Miss Veronica, there's more.
01:10:21Ava spiked your drink earlier tonight.
01:10:23I've already switched the glasses.
01:10:29They want to play dirty?
01:10:30Fine.
01:10:31Let's see how they like drinking their own poison.
01:10:39Well, if it isn't our former VP.
01:10:42Tell me Veronica.
01:10:44Watching Victor sign with me must be killing you.
01:10:47Veronica, I owe you an apology.
01:10:49I shouldn't have treated you the way I did.
01:10:51Let's put the past behind us.
01:10:54Exactly.
01:10:54Drink this and we can call it even.
01:10:56Hell, I might even be generous enough to give you your old job back.
01:11:00The detective already switched the drinks.
01:11:03Let's see who's laughing in ten minutes.
01:11:13I drank the champagne.
01:11:16But don't confuse that with forgiveness.
01:11:18Neither of you deserve it.
01:11:21That's okay.
01:11:23In a few minutes, you'll be the one begging us.
01:11:25I can't wait.
01:11:27Maybe you'll finally learn how to get on your knees and apologize.
01:11:31Really?
01:11:32Then let's sit back and enjoy the show.
01:11:35It's taking so long, she should have reacted by now.
01:11:41Is something wrong?
01:11:42You both look confused.
01:11:45Tell me.
01:11:46Are you wondering why I drank the champagne and nothing happened?
01:11:52How did you know?
01:11:55How did you know?
01:11:55Not only did I know you spiked the drink.
01:11:57I had our glasses switched before you got here.
01:11:59The drug champagne?
01:12:00You drank it yourself.
01:12:02What?
01:12:06Veronica!
01:12:06You drugged Rebecca in front of everyone!
01:12:09That's attempted murder!
01:12:12What's happening?
01:12:12Did somebody poison her?
01:12:13The only people drugging anyone are these two.
01:12:17Last night, Rebecca and Ava drugged Mr. Sterling to force him into a business deal.
01:12:22They dragged him unconscious into a hotel room, then staged fake bedroom photos to blackmail him.
01:12:29That explains everything.
01:12:31I knew Victor would have never partnered with Becca willingly.
01:12:35Jesus Christ, these women are completely unhinged.
01:12:42Liar!
01:12:43That's a lie!
01:12:44You're framing me!
01:12:46You're the one who drugged me!
01:12:49Every word Veronica said is true.
01:12:52They drugged me and forced me into this deal.
01:12:55And today they tried to do the same thing to Veronica.
01:12:57Now she's got a taste of her own medicine!
01:13:00You have no proof!
01:13:02Right now, Rebecca is the one who's drugged!
01:13:06Proof?
01:13:07You want proof?
01:13:09Fine.
01:13:10Let's give everyone a front road seat.
01:13:18Just because you have photos doesn't prove a damn thing!
01:13:21Mr. Sterling was drunk!
01:13:23We were helping him get back to his hotel room!
01:13:25What does that have to do with you drugging Rebecca?
01:13:29She has a point.
01:13:30Those photos alone don't prove anything.
01:13:33Maybe Rebecca was actually trying to help him.
01:13:35Still lying?
01:13:37Fine.
01:13:38Let's finish this.
01:14:02What?!
01:14:03How the hell did you get that footage?!
01:14:05No!
01:14:07No!
01:14:07No, no, no!
01:14:08We're screwed!
01:14:12There it is.
01:14:13Caught in 4K.
01:14:16So tell me.
01:14:18What lie were you planning to sell next?
01:14:21Drugging and blackmailing to close a deal?
01:14:24You two belong in a prison cell.
01:14:26Not a boardroom.
01:14:27I'll make damn sure you rot in there!
01:14:30You won't be the only one.
01:14:32The police should be here any minute.
01:14:42Rebecca Gray.
01:14:43Ava Sutton.
01:14:44You're under arrest for blackmail, criminal coercion and administering an intoxicating substance.
01:14:48You're coming with us.
01:14:57Veronica!
01:14:58Please!
01:14:59Please give me one more chance!
01:15:01I know I was wrong!
01:15:02I swear!
01:15:03I know I was wrong!
01:15:06I'm sorry!
01:15:08I lost my mind.
01:15:11I never should have listened to Rebecca.
01:15:12Please tell them to let me go.
01:15:14I swear I'll never do anything like this again.
01:15:19You lying cut!
01:15:20This was your idea!
01:15:21You wanted the photos!
01:15:23Now you're dumping it all on me?!
01:15:25Oh, please!
01:15:26You started all this!
01:15:27You wanted Veronica's jet!
01:15:29You told me to go after her!
01:15:30You dangled promotions in front of me!
01:15:33And it worked!
01:15:35Even now, you're still blaming everyone but yourselves.
01:15:41Veronica!
01:15:41For the sake of our friendship!
01:15:44Please!
01:15:44Just once, I'll give you the company!
01:15:46I'll walk away!
01:15:47I'll leave the country!
01:15:48You'll never have to see me again!
01:15:51Friendship?
01:15:51Where was that friendship when you called me a thief?
01:15:53When you tried to steal my jet?
01:15:55When you trashed my name and turned everyone against me?
01:15:57Now that you're cornered, suddenly we're friends again?
01:16:00Three years ago, you were drowning.
01:16:01I pulled you out.
01:16:03I paid your debts.
01:16:03I opened doors for you.
01:16:05I gave you my trust and love and support.
01:16:08It treated you like family.
01:16:09But you treated me like an opportunity.
01:16:12The more I gave, the more you wanted.
01:16:14You didn't want a friend.
01:16:16You wanted a ladder.
01:16:18And as soon as you got to the top, you tried to kick it away from beneath you.
01:16:25This didn't happen to you, Rebecca.
01:16:28You did this to yourself.
01:16:32Officer, I believe you have everything you need.
01:16:51I spent years afraid of losing her.
01:16:54But sometimes, letting go of the wrong people is the beginning of the life you deserve.
01:16:59That's enough.
01:17:00I get back.
01:17:02overcoming their desires.
01:17:05You got dreams I threw up in all the rest from I came out,
01:17:06He'll talk about something other than me.
01:17:06And this was your life he's going to have any trouble yeah-
01:17:06It's also an obligation that if we don't have time left for you.
