00:00:02Do you know why an option here slams his gavel three times?
00:00:10First strike.
00:00:13Mourning.
00:00:17Second strike.
00:00:20The last chance to walk away.
00:00:24And the third.
00:00:26Third strike.
00:00:30You're mine.
00:00:35I'm Avery Quinn, a management associate at Maxwell Capital, one of Manhattan's top strategic investment firms.
00:00:42The man I just kissed is my boss.
00:00:45But five months ago, I was just a small-town girl stepping foot in New York for the first time.
00:00:52I'm very good at flirting.
00:00:54Waitlisted at SUNY, then got in right after someone else turned down their spot.
00:00:58Graduated with exactly 128 credits.
00:01:01Three months ago, I landed an internship at Weaver Capital on the very last day of recruiting.
00:01:06Yeah, I've spent my whole life flirting with the Cut-Off.
00:01:11I've spent my whole life flirting with the Cut-Off.
00:01:15I've spent my whole life flirting with the Cut-Off.
00:01:15Hello?
00:01:16Congratulations.
00:01:18You barely squeaked through your final review, but a pass is a pass.
00:01:22HR approved your conversion.
00:01:24Yeah.
00:01:25Oh my God.
00:01:26Thanks.
00:01:27Bye.
00:01:28That's me.
00:01:29Always flirting.
00:01:31Always making it.
00:01:32Yeah.
00:01:33Yeah.
00:01:33You're welcome.
00:01:34Woo!
00:01:37Since Alpha only responds to you, Mr. NS would like to offer you a long-term dog walking contract.
00:01:44Thank you so much, but I start full-time tomorrow, so I won't be taking any more dog walking clients.
00:01:50I'm sure Mr. NS will find someone wonderful.
00:01:53Oh.
00:02:00Perfect.
00:02:05Sarah.
00:02:06First day on the job.
00:02:08Coffee's on me.
00:02:09Thank you for putting up with me these past six months.
00:02:12Appreciate it, but can you check your email?
00:02:15You know, they're announcing layoffs today.
00:02:18Layoffs?
00:02:22Right this way, Mr. Sterling.
00:02:37Who is that?
00:02:39Yeah, that's Nathan Sterling.
00:02:41Weaver Capital brought him in as a...
00:02:43Reconstruction consultant?
00:02:45Rumor has it he fired about 80 people last week in his London office.
00:02:49In a single day.
00:02:51Can I still keep the conversion?
00:02:53What?
00:02:59Conference room.
00:03:00Now.
00:03:06Wait, I literally just got my conversion last night and you're firing me today?
00:03:12Avery Quinn.
00:03:14I reviewed your report and your competitive data is two market cycles behind.
00:03:19For a company competing at the top of the industry, that's a material failure.
00:03:23So, yes.
00:03:24I am firing me today.
00:03:28So, yes.
00:03:30I am firing me today.
00:03:32But Sarah said we're ahead of the curve, so how can we be two market cycles behind?
00:03:36Uh, next apartment.
00:03:38Handle that.
00:03:41Don't overthink it.
00:03:42Just sign it.
00:03:48I have work to do. Take lunch.
00:03:51Shh.
00:04:05Mr. Sterling, I just need a minute.
00:04:07Listen, if you have questions about restructuring, please check with H1.
00:04:10Just ten. Ten minutes. I know I can change your mind.
00:04:14No.
00:04:18Then just give me this elevator.
00:04:20Mr. Sterling, I...
00:04:34Oh, shit.
00:04:44So, this was your plan to get me to change my mind?
00:04:50So, this was your plan to get me to change my mind?
00:04:54No, no, um...
00:04:56But at least you aren't looking at emails...
00:04:59Anymore.
00:05:04Oh, um...
00:05:05Here, take my jacket.
00:05:09Thanks.
00:05:12Um, elevator ride is almost up. Better make a case.
00:05:18Which part of my report were you talking about?
00:05:21Um, the competitive analysis.
00:05:28This one.
00:05:30No.
00:05:34This...
00:05:35This isn't the one that I reviewed.
00:05:36The one that I saw had data from 2024.
00:05:40No, Mr. Sterling, that was just a sample deck.
00:05:43David must have switched them when he found out about the layoffs.
00:05:47This...
00:05:49That's the final version.
00:05:52Oh.
00:05:54Time's up.
00:05:55Sorry.
00:06:03You know, this is actually pretty impressive.
00:06:05It's better than I expected.
00:06:08But...
00:06:09Your job and Sarah's job cross over by 40%.
00:06:12The firm's only gonna keep one of you.
00:06:17Your job and Sarah's job cross over by 40%.
00:06:20The firm's only gonna keep one of you.
00:06:26Listen.
00:06:27Don't worry. We can split it.
00:06:29You know? I mean...
00:06:30We can get it done before midnight.
00:06:32Okay?
00:06:33So, thanks.
00:06:36Okay.
00:06:37Thank you, Sarah.
00:06:42I can't afford to lose this job.
00:06:44I have people that depend on me.
00:06:47I have a mortgage.
00:06:48Credit card bills.
00:06:50Insurance.
00:06:51Ugh.
00:06:58Okay.
00:07:00And I'll go.
00:07:02But I'd like a recommendation letter.
00:07:04For my next job.
00:07:06With your academic background, you probably wouldn't make it past the initial screening.
00:07:11But...
00:07:14I'll give you a written assessment.
00:07:17This is...
00:07:18Maxwell?
00:07:19The best strategic consulting firm?
00:07:21They hardly hire anyone outside the Ivys and he's giving me...
00:07:25One shot?
00:07:26Whether you make it any further...
00:07:28It's up to you.
00:07:35Nathan Sterling.
00:07:37Wait.
00:07:38Mr. Sterling.
00:07:40Mr. Sterling.
00:07:56I'm almost out of my name.
00:07:57How come I haven't heard anything about the written assessment yet?
00:07:57I'm almost out of my name.
00:08:07How come I haven't heard anything about the written assessment yet?
00:08:13I'll give you a written assessment.
00:08:15Did I just get played?
00:08:22I've got a little extra free time.
00:08:24Does Mr. NS still need someone to walk Alpha?
00:08:32Perfect.
00:08:33Mr. NS says, Alpha only, listens to you.
00:08:36He's happy to bump your pay up to $100 a day.
00:08:41I'll make time for him.
00:08:45Same rules as before.
00:08:48Alpha's order doesn't want anyone inside the house or touching his belongings.
00:08:52Just pick Alpha up at the front door.
00:08:56No problem.
00:09:03We've been playing for 30 minutes, buddy.
00:09:06I gotta take a shower.
00:09:08That's it.
00:09:10Come on.
00:09:19Hi, Alpha.
00:09:21Hi, buddy.
00:09:22Did you miss me?
00:09:23I missed you.
00:09:24Where is your lead?
00:09:55I missed you.
00:10:00Per your instructions, your referral has been added to tomorrow's assessment roster.
00:10:06Why does he look so familiar?
00:10:21Yes.
00:10:22You have passed Maxwell's initial screening.
00:10:25Your written assessment is scheduled for tomorrow at 9 a.m.
00:10:28Yes.
00:10:29Yes.
00:10:31Yes.
00:10:31Hopefully you're my lucky children.
00:10:33Yes.
00:10:36Come on.
00:10:37Come on.
00:10:48Harvard Business School.
00:10:50You?
00:10:51Wharton.
00:10:52Finance.
00:10:53Sorry.
00:10:54Yeah, I met an interview.
00:10:56I'll have to miss the Harvard alumni event this year.
00:11:01Good morning, everyone.
00:11:04Please come inside.
00:11:05Your first assessment will begin shortly.
00:11:12Wow.
00:11:13Even the bottled water looks expensive.
00:11:24Nothing.
00:11:25What's new?
00:11:26Did we send them both out?
00:11:27That's gonna say it was 2,000 in the last quarter.
00:11:28Huh?
00:11:29Isn't that your little wild bunny?
00:11:32The one who doesn't play by the rules?
00:11:34Do you want me to, uh, fast track her?
00:11:37No.
00:11:38She can't make it through the normal process.
00:11:40She doesn't belong at Maxwell.
00:11:42You know who she reminds me of?
00:11:45Who?
00:11:47Scarlet O'Hara.
00:11:49Me?
00:11:50Yeah, man.
00:11:51She was your favorite in college.
00:11:53You love Scarlet O'Hara.
00:11:55I've never said that.
00:11:57You say it every day.
00:11:58Yes.
00:11:58Scarlet O'Hara.
00:12:05Alpha, does your owner ever spend time with you?
00:12:07I mean, I feel like I practically raised you.
00:12:18Can't deny the guy's in pretty good shape, though.
00:12:23But why does he look so familiar?
00:12:38Alpha, if I have to move back home, are you gonna miss me?
00:12:45Alpha?
00:12:46Alpha, what's wrong, buddy?
00:12:48What's wrong?
00:12:52I'm so sorry, Alpha.
00:12:55I didn't know you weren't supposed to eat dog ice cream.
00:12:58Alpha!
00:12:58Shhh.
00:13:07Mr. Sterling?
00:13:09I agree.
00:13:13Mr. Sterling, you're Alpha's owner?
00:13:16Yeah.
00:13:18I'm so sorry.
00:13:19I am so sorry.
00:13:21I am so sorry.
00:13:23Ryan's not gonna make him better.
00:13:25But I was so scared.
00:13:26What if it's my fault?
00:13:27What if I'm the reason that Alpha got sick?
00:13:29You were scared.
00:13:30So you fed him ice cream.
00:13:36Tests are back.
00:13:38It's pancreatitis.
00:13:39We'll keep him for observation for a few days.
00:13:42Was it because of the ice cream?
00:13:44No.
00:13:44He's just been spoiled a little bit too much at home.
00:13:47We'll put him on a prescription diet for a while.
00:13:56Thanks.
00:13:58Where do I pay the bill?
00:14:01Go.
00:14:02I'll take care of Alpha.
00:14:05If anything else comes up, just call me.
00:14:13Thank God they're okay.
00:14:15Who'd have thought your dad is Mr. Sterling?
00:14:21Wait.
00:14:23So that day I really saw...
00:14:33Our research on the cashierless convenience store market shows a 30% year-over-year increase in market share.
00:14:44If current conditions continue, operating margins are projected to fall.
00:14:49Alpha's poop is solid again.
00:14:512% within three years.
00:14:55Alpha got discharged today.
00:14:57I want to stay with him at your place.
00:14:59I won't go any farther than his bed.
00:15:01Is that okay?
00:15:03Yes.
00:15:03The vet says he needs prescription food.
00:15:05Want me to pick some up?
00:15:07I'm ready for 2%.
00:15:11Okay?
00:15:13Okay?
00:15:17Has anyone ever seen Nathan check his phone during a meeting?
00:15:21Something urgent?
00:15:26Okay?
00:15:29Alpha,
00:15:30Your dad texts like a customer service robot.
00:15:39Looks like Mr. Sterling isn't home yet.
00:15:43This place has less personality than a hotel lobby, Alpha.
00:15:46Kinda robot-y, but...
00:15:49Fits him.
00:15:50Okay, let's get you lunch.
00:15:53Here you go.
00:15:55Oh, God.
00:15:57Oh, this isn't good.
00:16:01Hey, Alpha.
00:16:03Where's your bathroom?
00:16:17Mmm.
00:16:18Just pee and leave.
00:16:20One minute.
00:16:21No one will ever know.
00:16:32Alpha?
00:16:35Should you leave already?
00:16:40What?
00:16:41You're not gonna let me in my own room?
00:16:48Oh, my God.
00:16:52He's home?
00:16:54Alpha's order doesn't want anyone inside the house or touching his belongings.
00:17:10Okay, the second he's in the shower, I'm making a run for it.
00:17:23What the hell?
00:17:25A robot keeps these in his closet?
00:17:28Seriously.
00:17:29I can't even picture him using these.
00:17:31Um, who?
00:17:32When?
00:17:33Where?
00:17:34There.
00:17:37No, no, no.
00:17:39You've gotta be kidding me.
00:17:41Where's the damn key?
00:17:52No, no.
00:17:53He's coming back to get dressed.
00:18:03No, no, no.
00:18:20Wow.
00:18:22This is big.
00:18:30What are you doing?
00:18:35I am so sorry.
00:18:37I really had to go to the bathroom and Alpha brought me into this room.
00:18:40I had no, I mean no idea it was your restroom and I thought I'd be in and out in
00:18:44like a second
00:18:44but this house is massive and I didn't even know you were home until like a second ago.
00:18:48So, um, I didn't mean to sneak into your closet, I swear.
00:18:54Did Alpha also teach you how to handcuff yourself?
00:18:59Those are mine, by the way.
00:19:01Right, no.
00:19:02No, that, that was an accident.
00:19:05Yeah.
00:19:06Do you happen to know where the, the key is?
00:19:08I can't.
00:19:09I was looking.
00:19:10Cool.
00:19:11Cool.
00:19:12It's in the closet.
00:19:15Okay.
00:19:17Question is, do you want me to unhandcuff you first?
00:19:21Handcuff?
00:19:23Or, button your shirt?
00:19:26No, shirt.
00:19:27I mean, um, whatever.
00:19:30Whatever.
00:19:30Whatever you want.
00:19:36Mr. Charlie.
00:19:38What are you doing?
00:19:52I'm doing a work study.
00:19:54A law enforcement equipment.
00:19:59The handcuffs are a proud example.
00:20:02And Maxwell, it's pretty regular.
00:20:10Yeah, yeah, no, I, that's, sorry I got the wrong idea.
00:20:15Um, could you, I love you?
00:20:19Sure.
00:20:25Just, one more question.
00:20:28When I walked from the bathroom to the closet.
00:20:33What'd you see?
00:20:35I was, I wasn't even looking.
00:20:38It was like just a half a second.
00:20:39What'd you see in that half a second?
00:20:44Wow.
00:20:45This is big.
00:20:50I'm so sorry.
00:20:52Um, it's big.
00:20:55It's really big.
00:20:56Um, I'm sorry.
00:20:57Uh, that's all.
00:20:58That's all.
00:20:58I swear.
00:20:59Could you?
00:21:00Can I go now?
00:21:01Peace.
00:21:10Get out.
00:21:11Yeah, thanks.
00:21:11Bye.
00:21:14And if I hear anything at work that even starts with the word big.
00:21:25I totally blew it today.
00:21:27What if Mr. Sterling never hires me to walk Alpha again?
00:21:31Then I'll never see him again.
00:21:38You're still here.
00:21:40Mr. Sterling, could you please not report me for what happened today?
00:21:43I will do anything to make it up to you.
00:21:45I just, I don't know how I'm gonna make rent if I lose this job.
00:21:50And I'm sorry for not passing Maxwell's assessment even after you gave me a chance.
00:22:09You know, I'm not surprised.
00:22:10With your background and your skill set, it's pretty ordinary.
00:22:17I thought you gave me your card because you believed in me.
00:22:22Because you thought I worked hard.
00:22:24Did you?
00:22:27After you failed your assessment, you went right back to walking dogs.
00:22:32Did you review your results?
00:22:34Ask for feedback?
00:22:36Think about reapplying?
00:22:38No.
00:22:41Every year, thousands of Ivy League graduates compete for a spot at Maxwell.
00:22:47Less than 5% make it.
00:22:49Hard work will get you through the door, but it doesn't keep you in.
00:22:52Now, I'm not gonna file a complaint.
00:22:53You did really good with Alpha today.
00:22:58But that is where my expectations of you end.
00:23:02So...
00:23:04On the other hand...
00:23:07No.
00:23:18Doh!
00:23:21Doh!
00:23:22Oh!
00:23:23Oh!
00:23:25Oh!
00:23:28Oh!
00:23:30Oh!
00:23:32Was I too hard on her, Alpha?
00:23:44Let's go.
00:24:09Sweetheart, how's work? Did you get your conversion?
00:24:13Of course, yeah, it's great.
00:24:17And everyone's treating me really good because your daughter's kind of amazing.
00:24:22That's my girl.
00:24:23How's the apartment?
00:24:26It's great.
00:24:27Yeah, my bedroom has a huge walk-in closet.
00:24:32And my bathroom has a pretty big tub.
00:24:37And there's a hot, half-naked guy working out in the garden.
00:24:44Really? Avery, honey? I hear Wyn. Aren't you home yet?
00:24:53Where is she? She's had her phone off all day.
00:24:58Alpha?
00:25:01Um, yeah. No, I am. I'm just...
00:25:04I'm getting some fresh air in the garden.
00:25:07Hey, uh, I gotta go, but I'll call you back.
00:25:10Okay, bye.
00:25:23Hard work will get you through the door, but it doesn't keep you in the room.
00:25:33I'm not gonna file a complaint. You did really good with Alpha today.
00:25:39But that is where my expectations of you went.
00:25:44So...
00:25:45Jerk.
00:25:51Alpha?
00:25:59Alpha?
00:26:00Alpha?
00:26:04Am I the jerk you're talking about?
00:26:10What happened?
00:26:14What happened?
00:26:18What's going on?
00:26:19My son came home from Europe, so I'm taking the apartment back.
00:26:22And your security deposit's going for all those damages, friend.
00:26:26Don't expect it back.
00:26:49Thanks.
00:26:50So where are you staying tonight?
00:26:53Wyoming, maybe.
00:26:57New York just isn't for me.
00:27:00So do you just not check your emails, or...?
00:27:05No.
00:27:06What email my phone died?
00:27:08Maxwell needs more analysts for a major M&A deal.
00:27:12So HR is taking a look at some of the candidates who bring him at the cut.
00:27:17And...
00:27:17You scored six of everything's in, so...
00:27:21You're on to the next round.
00:27:23Molly!
00:27:26You're on to the next round.
00:27:28Molly!
00:27:29Oh my god!
00:27:30Oh my god!
00:27:32Oh my god!
00:27:34Help!
00:27:36Sorry.
00:27:37Sorry, Mr. Sterling.
00:27:39It's okay.
00:27:40I carried away.
00:27:43I should apologize.
00:27:45I was a little harsh on you.
00:27:49So...
00:27:50You can stay at my place until you get your first paycheck.
00:27:56Help me take care of Al.
00:27:59What?
00:28:01Here.
00:28:02I'll get your bags.
00:28:11I live this way.
00:28:23The second floor is my office and gym.
00:28:25The first floor is bedrooms, common areas of kitchen, living room, backyard.
00:28:30You're free to use all of them, so...
00:28:42You'll stay here.
00:28:45I thought you hated people in your house.
00:28:48Or disrupting your routine.
00:28:51You're taking care of Alpha.
00:28:53So...
00:28:53You're not.
00:29:07One.
00:29:07My bedroom has a huge walk-in closet.
00:29:09And my bathroom has a pretty big tub and there is a...
00:29:18There's a hot, half-naked guy working out in the garden.
00:29:25Mom, every lie I told you came true because of him.
00:29:36Need someone?
00:29:38I went through Maxwell's M&A cases for the last three years.
00:29:41I reworked every logic question that I missed on the assessment.
00:29:46I told you you passed.
00:29:49Barely. And that's not what I want.
00:29:52Mr. Sterling, you gave me a reason to believe I could stay in Manhattan.
00:29:56So if you could just tell me where I'm falling short.
00:29:59We're Alpha's best friend.
00:30:13Come here.
00:30:35Incorrect, why?
00:30:40Um, are you hit all the key points, but other people made it an actionable strategy?
00:30:5190 minutes for 16 case quotients.
00:30:56I didn't realize I had so many gaps.
00:30:58I was a lot better in my school.
00:31:02Big fish, little pot.
00:31:09I want to become someone like you.
00:31:12I, I want to reach that level.
00:31:14I want to walk through Maxwell's front doors on my own.
00:31:19Do you know what it takes to be me?
00:31:42Do you know what it takes to be me?
00:31:45Do you know what it takes to be me?
00:32:15And I will quiz you at the end of the week.
00:32:23Don't wanna catch a cold.
00:32:32Now I look like some desperate tenant who accidentally let her strap fall.
00:32:38On the bright side, he saw it and he didn't tell me to get out of his house.
00:33:00I'm sorry.
00:33:04Is he always this kind? To everyone?
00:33:07If it were some other girl, would you let her stay here too?
00:33:15He's still working. If I bomb the interview, will he ask me to move out?
00:33:21Then don't bomb anything yet.
00:33:23I don't know.
00:33:51You're the sweetest gentleman of the world.
00:34:00Mr. Sterling?
00:34:02Just get up.
00:34:04I'm gonna give you a quiz.
00:34:07Right now?
00:34:19Your client is a European EV manufacturer.
00:34:22Trying to get into the southeast.
00:34:24Indonesia or Thailand.
00:34:26Build me a decision for you.
00:34:28You have 10 minutes.
00:34:49You identified all the major drivers.
00:34:53Looks like the books are working.
00:34:55Good job.
00:34:56Really?
00:34:56So I'm actually getting better.
00:35:01Your dad said I did a good job.
00:35:10Did that kiss actually happen?
00:35:13Or did I dream it?
00:35:15Mr. Sterling doesn't seem bothered at all.
00:35:34Good morning.
00:35:37Your first assessment will be a stress interview.
00:35:40You'll work in teams of two.
00:35:45Hi.
00:35:47Maybe we could.
00:35:47What school?
00:35:48I'm sorry?
00:35:51SUNY.
00:35:53Sorry.
00:35:54I went to Harvard.
00:35:55I only stick with my crowd.
00:35:58Stanford.
00:36:02Hey.
00:36:03Those Ivy League zombies haven't scared you off yet.
00:36:06You wanna team up?
00:36:08I'm probably the only person here who didn't graduate from a fancy school, so.
00:36:14You probably worked twice as hard.
00:36:16Sounds like the better bet to me.
00:36:20I don't think it was a compliment.
00:36:23Don't worry.
00:36:24I won't let you down.
00:36:28Then we'll hold you back.
00:36:31You know what?
00:36:33That looks really good.
00:36:34That's good stuff right here.
00:36:40See?
00:36:41Told you I wouldn't hold you back.
00:36:43First place.
00:36:44You're amazing.
00:36:46Hey!
00:36:47You're just bumping into her.
00:36:52An apology would be nice.
00:36:53It's just a stress interview.
00:36:56Don't get cocky.
00:36:58Forget it.
00:37:01Are you okay?
00:37:14Mr. Sterling?
00:37:15Were you waiting for me to hear the good news?
00:37:19Alpha?
00:37:20I crushed it today.
00:37:21Which means you got yourself an extra serving.
00:37:25Seems like you and your partner had quite the day.
00:37:30Did you see that?
00:37:31Did you watch the interview playback?
00:37:34Did I come across some professional?
00:37:47I'm talking about your outfit.
00:37:50Who told you that that was appropriate for an interview?
00:37:54I'm wearing a blouse.
00:37:57I'm wearing a blouse.
00:37:57You didn't say anything when we left this morning.
00:38:00Maybe I put on a little weight.
00:38:02I don't know if it's gotten tight if that's what you mean.
00:38:04Shhh.
00:38:08Mr. Sterling?
00:38:12Destruction is your worst enemy in an interview.
00:38:16And that blouse certainly is creating me.
00:38:20Unless the busting out was part of your strategy.
00:38:24No, it's not.
00:38:27No, it's not.
00:38:31Well, as I run, Miss Cole, it's late at night.
00:38:42You're dressed like this in a house with a single man.
00:38:47Not your smartest decision.
00:38:50Well, I know.
00:38:51But if you were to try anything, my best friend Alpha would-
00:38:54Try what?
00:38:56What is it that you think that I would try?
00:39:02You would take me.
00:39:05Let's not forget.
00:39:08Alpha's mine.
00:39:09Alpha, get your dad.
00:39:14Alpha.
00:39:15Alpha, get your dad.
00:39:18Alpha.
00:39:26You've corrupted him.
00:39:29So how was this supposed to end?
00:39:33I'm not sure I wanted to.
00:39:36I'm not even sure I wanted to.
00:39:38What does that even mean?
00:39:40Is he serious?
00:39:41Or is it just the way he talks?
00:39:50Oh, my God.
00:39:52Oh, my God.
00:39:53Maxwell!
00:39:53I got it!
00:39:54I got in!
00:39:56No more cut-offs.
00:39:57I'm in!
00:39:59Congratulations.
00:40:01Hi, Patella.
00:40:01Alpha!
00:40:02I crushed it today!
00:40:03You earned yourself an extra serving.
00:40:06Easy.
00:40:08Gideon is the easy part.
00:40:09There's plenty of other battles coming.
00:40:14Let's, uh...
00:40:15Let's just keep you living with me between us, yeah?
00:40:21Right.
00:40:22We're colleagues now.
00:40:25So should I move out?
00:40:29So should I move out?
00:40:31No.
00:40:34I mean, uh...
00:40:37Alpha...
00:40:38Still needs you.
00:40:41We can talk about it after your conversion.
00:40:45Okay, then.
00:40:47Good night, Mr. Sterling.
00:40:49I won't forget about the employee handbook.
00:40:55What was I expecting?
00:40:56He's only letting me stay.
00:40:58For Alpha.
00:41:06You're a traitor.
00:41:10Avery, over here.
00:41:14The community college loser actually got in?
00:41:18Maxwell, standards really are slipping.
00:41:21Okay, stay away.
00:41:22Don't sit there.
00:41:27Too bad.
00:41:28I'm sitting here.
00:41:31Does that bother you?
00:41:32Because if you're still living off the name of your alma mater,
00:41:35that means the greatest thing you ever accomplished happened at 18.
00:41:38Everything after that.
00:41:40Not much to brag about.
00:41:42Nice one, partner.
00:41:45At Maxwell, we call you battle buddies.
00:41:48Welcome.
00:41:49I'm Patti, your program manager.
00:41:51Patti, I heard you, Jason, and the legendary Nathan,
00:41:55the hottest partner in all of North America,
00:41:57used to be known as the Maxwell Trio.
00:41:59Are we going to meet him today?
00:42:01You might.
00:42:06Oh my God, that's Nathan.
00:42:08He's so hot.
00:42:13That's Nathan.
00:42:14He's so hot.
00:42:15Mr. Sterling?
00:42:17He's a partner.
00:42:18My boss.
00:42:19Call me Nathan.
00:42:21Getting an offer just means you've been given the chance
00:42:23to prove yourselves.
00:42:25The conversion projects start now.
00:42:27Okay.
00:42:28So.
00:42:29This is our target numbers for most of the months.
00:42:32If you can't hit this.
00:42:36Yeah.
00:42:36That's everything that you need to do.
00:42:43Miss.
00:42:44Quit.
00:42:47Come here.
00:42:58Why did you call me out in front of everyone?
00:43:01I thought you wanted to keep us secret.
00:43:04You seemed disappointed last night.
00:43:08So I thought that I would tell you exactly what I want.
00:43:13Like what?
00:43:43You seemed upset.
00:43:46That I was making fun of your outfit.
00:44:00I think it brought tearing them off of you right now.
00:44:12I think it brought tearing them off of you right now.
00:44:15You know exactly what I mean.
00:44:23Don't.
00:44:25That's incorrect.
00:44:28You should say stop.
00:44:31Miss Quinn.
00:44:38Why don't you say...
00:44:41Miss Quinn.
00:44:43Miss Quinn.
00:44:47You okay?
00:44:49Kinda spaced out there.
00:44:51Yeah.
00:44:52If you're tired, you can step out and get some fresh air, Miss Quinn.
00:44:56That's it for training for today.
00:45:02Sorry.
00:45:08Avery, what is wrong with you?
00:45:10Are you actually falling for him?
00:45:12You can't.
00:45:13He's your freaking boss.
00:45:14And he probably doesn't even see you that way.
00:45:17Coffee?
00:45:19Twelve bucks down Sears.
00:45:21Twelve?
00:45:22Let's split it before Banks rubs us.
00:45:25Yeah, no, I can't say no.
00:45:27You should cut up.
00:45:29I'll do that too.
00:45:34Cheers.
00:45:35Cheers.
00:45:43Looks like your little bunny made a new friend.
00:45:46Should we go say hi?
00:45:49Tell admin coffee's on me for the rest of the week.
00:45:52I don't want everyone huddling around one cup of coffee.
00:45:55That smells like jealousy.
00:45:58You've changed, Nathan.
00:46:02We can't even say hi at work.
00:46:04How much distance is he trying to keep between us?
00:46:12Sharing the same coffee?
00:46:14That's kinda sad.
00:46:16Not as sad as falling asleep during Nathan's training.
00:46:19Owen, you're one of us.
00:46:21Don't hang around dead weight.
00:46:23Owen went to an IV too?
00:46:26Oh, definitely not me.
00:46:27Guess Harvard skipped the class on basic manners.
00:46:32Guess Harvard skipped the class on basic manners.
00:46:35Wait.
00:46:36Don't tell me you actually like this country girl.
00:46:39I do.
00:46:44No one.
00:46:46You're kidding, right?
00:46:47I'm not.
00:46:48Avery, you're incredible.
00:46:50Falling for you has been the most natural thing to me.
00:46:57All right.
00:46:59Everybody.
00:47:00Drinks downstairs tonight.
00:47:02On me.
00:47:04Welcome to Maxwell.
00:47:06Thank you, Jason.
00:47:08Thank you, Jason.
00:47:09Thank you, Jason.
00:47:11Everybody take off and get down!
00:47:20What a fuck.
00:47:22Seriously?
00:47:23Nathan and Patty look like they just walked straight out of the building.
00:47:27Maxwell's perfect couple.
00:47:29They look ridiculously expensive.
00:47:31God, I wanna be rich.
00:47:33Same.
00:47:34You really think they'll be us one day?
00:47:36So that's the perfect couple.
00:47:39Since when does anyone get to decide what a couple is?
00:47:42Looks like they're settling.
00:47:44Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of them were dating already.
00:47:47Right, Nathan?
00:47:49So funny.
00:47:50Yeah.
00:47:50Nathan is so handsome.
00:47:53Look at his lips.
00:47:54So sexy.
00:47:55How do I get a kiss?
00:47:57Easy.
00:47:58I'll help.
00:48:06Wait.
00:48:06How do I get a kiss?
00:48:07Easy.
00:48:09I'll help.
00:48:25Wait.
00:48:26Is he actually coming over to kiss Cherry?
00:48:32Yumi tells us you had a bit of an initiation plan.
00:48:37And that those old folks were invited to.
00:48:40Ours is pretty intense.
00:48:42Are you and Jason?
00:48:43We'll try.
00:48:52Okay.
00:48:53Spin the bottle.
00:48:54You kiss whoever it lands on.
00:48:57No backing out.
00:48:59If you do.
00:49:01Three shots.
00:49:03Ready?
00:49:11Drop addiction.
00:49:13Seriously?
00:49:14Yeah.
00:49:14You killed the blunt.
00:49:16Alright, my turn.
00:49:23You gotta kiss me.
00:49:25Alright, you gotta kiss me.
00:49:27Oh!
00:49:28Oh!
00:49:30Everybody's...
00:49:31My turn.
00:49:36Nathan!
00:49:37Come on.
00:49:38I want a hot kiss.
00:49:40Kiss!
00:49:41Kiss!
00:49:42Kiss!
00:49:43Kiss!
00:49:43Kiss!
00:49:48Nathan!
00:49:50Come on.
00:49:51I want a hot kiss.
00:49:52Kiss!
00:49:53Kiss!
00:49:53Kiss, kiss.
00:50:02I'm gonna take the penalty
00:50:03It's just three shots
00:50:04three shots again? Seriously? That's so boring
00:50:07Yeah, seriously, okay. That's it. I'm cancelling the shots
00:50:09No more shots allowed. Okay?
00:50:16Avery. Your turn.
00:50:32Wow, bravo.
00:50:34So what do we do now?
00:50:36Re-spin?
00:50:37Nope.
00:50:38Avery has to choose for the kiss.
00:50:43Let that lucky bitch get this.
00:50:50I'll just take the shots.
00:50:52Mm-mm.
00:50:54No more shots.
00:50:59If I were you, I'd pick Nathan.
00:51:01Owen actually likes you, so you can kiss him any time.
00:51:05Shut up, Richard.
00:51:07Yeah, shut up, Richard.
00:51:10Come here.
00:51:11Stand up.
00:51:13There you go.
00:51:16Okay.
00:51:17Now?
00:51:17No.
00:51:19Now choose.
00:51:24Avery, relax.
00:51:25It's just a game.
00:51:26I choose.
00:51:32Sorry.
00:51:36I choose.
00:51:41Sorry.
00:51:43Um.
00:51:44Avery, choose who to kiss.
00:51:50Let's, uh, let's just keep you living with me between us.
00:51:56Yeah?
00:51:58I choose.
00:52:02Owen.
00:52:13Your turn, Nathan.
00:52:15I, uh, I gotta go walk my dog.
00:52:19Nico, you said you got a dog walker tonight.
00:52:22I did.
00:52:24She's at a party.
00:52:27Was he talking about me?
00:52:29Does he think I forgot about Alpha?
00:52:32Yeah.
00:52:33I think I'm gonna go to a bathroom.
00:52:35It's fine.
00:52:36It's fine.
00:52:40What?
00:52:48I'm not.
00:52:49I'm not.
00:52:52I'm not.
00:52:53Maybe...
00:52:53No, I'm not.
00:52:54No, there's no way out.
00:52:57I'm not.
00:52:57No, no.
00:53:05No, no.
00:53:05Nothing.
00:53:05I'm not.
00:53:05I'm not.
00:53:05Don't say anything.
00:53:05I'm not.
00:53:05No, no, no.
00:53:11Looking for me?
00:53:15Looking for me?
00:53:17Not you. The bathroom.
00:53:23Really?
00:53:28What are you doing?
00:53:30I'm taking you home.
00:53:34I'm not a girl. So behave.
00:53:48Why? Because I didn't stay with Alfred?
00:53:51No.
00:53:54Do you like Owen?
00:53:56No. What?
00:53:58Why'd you kiss him?
00:54:01Because you didn't want people knowing about us.
00:54:06That's what you thought.
00:54:08Wasn't it?
00:54:11You warned me on my first day.
00:54:14I figured you were telling me to keep my distance.
00:54:17I wasn't warning you.
00:54:18I was just reminding you that Maxwell is ruthless.
00:54:21People find out you're sleeping at your boss's house.
00:54:24They're gonna start to judge you.
00:54:25And then they're gonna judge me.
00:54:30So that was all.
00:54:34That was all.
00:54:43So without that, Owen or me?
00:54:54Owen or me?
00:54:57You.
00:55:05What are you doing?
00:55:08Taking back what's gone.
00:55:10The kiss.
00:55:15Yours?
00:55:16Yours.
00:55:16But you never said it was.
00:55:20Oh, yeah.
00:55:24Okay.
00:55:31Valentino.
00:55:33For me.
00:55:35Maxwell's training gala is next week.
00:55:37You should look the part.
00:55:44If I even make it that far.
00:55:47What if I get cut before then?
00:55:50I trust my judgement.
00:55:52Unless you plan on proving me wrong.
00:55:55It's beautiful, but I can't accept something this expensive.
00:55:59Don't argue, Avery.
00:56:01Part of the job is looking the part.
00:56:05Try it on.
00:56:11Do you do this for everyone?
00:56:14Did you buy Patti a dress too?
00:56:21Patti is the best executor.
00:56:25With her, everything is seamless.
00:56:27With you, you're different.
00:56:32Different now.
00:56:34To stroke them.
00:56:38Especially to my patients.
00:56:45Shake up with me.
00:56:47Good boy.
00:56:49Are those...handcuffs actually his fetish?
00:56:53Why does it feel like he's training me the same way he trains Alpha?
00:57:09Do you wear spring couture?
00:57:11Obviously.
00:57:12I pre-ordered this two months ago.
00:57:16Now where's that hick, Avery?
00:57:18She probably couldn't even make it past HR.
00:57:21Oh, or she just left quietly when reality kicked in.
00:57:28Avery's on my team.
00:57:32If I'm here, she made it too.
00:57:34Sure, or she stuck downstairs with security in a $19.99 dress.
00:58:01Who is that?
00:58:03That's Avery, my broke-ass loser.
00:58:08I almost didn't recognize you.
00:58:11Yeah, you clean up really well, Avery.
00:58:15That dress isn't even available for purchase.
00:58:18How does a community college loser even afford it?
00:58:21Well, according to statistics shown, most self-made billionaires don't come from wealth.
00:58:26Nor Ivy League.
00:58:28So it looks like your little bunny just upgraded to Apex Predator.
00:58:34So keep judging people the same way, but be careful because you might lose us top clients.
00:58:39Hey!
00:58:44Get your hands off.
00:58:47This isn't open.
00:58:56Hey everyone, welcome to the gala.
00:59:00Tonight, each of you represent Maxwell at its best.
00:59:05So now, the now innovator award, please send your representative to the stage.
00:59:13Miss Avery Quinn.
00:59:18That bitch stole my spotlight.
00:59:20It made me look like a joke.
00:59:21Trust yourself.
00:59:23You'll be great.
00:59:42Keep walking.
00:59:43Eyes forward.
00:59:44I'm right behind you.
00:59:56Congratulations.
01:00:00Woo!
01:00:04Stop.
01:00:05God.
01:00:07You can't do this.
01:00:08Do you know who my father is?
01:00:10He's a Maxwell shareholder.
01:00:11You're so done.
01:00:21Where is he?
01:00:23Where is he?
01:00:23I want to see him.
01:00:25I want to see him.
01:00:26I want to see him.
01:01:12Am I the jerk you're talking about?
01:01:30How can someone be this perfect?
01:01:32So perfect.
01:01:34I'm starting to lose control.
01:01:36Starting to wish he was mine.
01:01:56Did you enjoy my performance?
01:01:59It was beautiful.
01:02:01So is his dress.
01:02:07What happened tonight?
01:02:09Is it going to get you in trouble?
01:02:12You're worried about it.
01:02:14Maxwell makes money because of me.
01:02:17I'll be fine.
01:02:22I could have sworn she went this way.
01:02:25No one is looking for me should go.
01:02:29No one is looking for me should go.
01:02:53You want to go back to him?
01:02:55You look like you want me to.
01:02:57Do you know why an auctioneer slams his gavel three times?
01:03:07First strike is a warning.
01:03:18Second strike.
01:03:22Last chance to world war.
01:03:31And the third.
01:03:32Third strike.
01:03:34Third strike.
01:03:37One mark.
01:03:59Shower first.
01:04:01Let's get it.
01:04:27I love you, I love you.
01:04:36I love you.
01:04:37I love you.
01:04:38I love you.
01:04:54After that night, Nathan left on a business trip.
01:04:56Two weeks.
01:04:58Maybe that night was nothing more than alcohol in my imagination.
01:05:12Hey, you okay?
01:05:17You look exhausted.
01:05:18Two weeks.
01:05:20No calls.
01:05:21No texts.
01:05:22Was it because of him?
01:05:25Avery, you'll take the Southeast Asia market compliance.
01:05:33I'm sorry, I missed that.
01:05:35It's not Southeast Asia.
01:05:38Focus on regulatory exposure, especially with the share of compliance.
01:05:42If you don't think it's something that you're prepared for, I can hand it off to someone else.
01:05:47No, I can do it.
01:05:49Sorry, I'll do the full analysis.
01:05:53That's all I got.
01:06:07Ride with me today.
01:06:25Take this, I'll put money on it every month.
01:06:35Seriously?
01:06:36Did he think that night came with a price tag?
01:06:39He thinks I'm some sugar baby.
01:06:41You're being unprofessional, Avery.
01:06:45Excuse me?
01:06:54You didn't say hello, you avoided me all day, but yet you seem perfectly comfortable with Owen.
01:07:01You okay?
01:07:03Two weeks without saying a word to me, but you find plenty to smile at with him.
01:07:11So you're interrogating me now?
01:07:14You handed me a card, and then you ghosted me for two weeks.
01:07:18I thought we both knew that what happened that night was a mutual thing between two consenting adults.
01:07:23So to him, it was just a one night stand.
01:07:27Yeah.
01:07:28No, of course, it was just a one night stand.
01:07:31Nathan, that's practically New York etiquette, isn't it?
01:07:35New York etiquette?
01:07:36Good.
01:07:38Glad we're on the same page.
01:07:47So that's it.
01:07:49No flowers.
01:07:50No romantic confession.
01:07:52Just a cold war after our first time.
01:08:02Patty asked me to pass this along.
01:08:04The UK project is ahead of schedule, thanks to Nathan's strategy and Jason's support.
01:08:11Oh, me?
01:08:12What did I do?
01:08:14We pushed our deck to the top of Design Team Skew.
01:08:18That saved us days.
01:08:21See?
01:08:22She's sharp.
01:08:23And she knows exactly what people like to hear.
01:08:26I also have a hazelnut latte.
01:08:30Extra shot.
01:08:31One shot.
01:08:31No sugar over ice.
01:08:34And she remembered my waterfall.
01:08:40I keep a preference sheet for everyone on the team.
01:08:43I think it makes working together a lot easier.
01:08:47Nathan, cinnamon latte.
01:08:56I only drink Americanos, so...
01:08:59Got it.
01:09:00I'll make a note of that for next time.
01:09:03Enjoy your meeting.
01:09:04Thanks.
01:09:14Interesting.
01:09:15She remembers my coffee order, and she forgets yours.
01:09:20Hmm.
01:09:21That has got to sting.
01:09:27You're buying lunch, Jason.
01:09:28I always buy lunch.
01:09:32Okay, so we're gonna fire Owen.
01:09:34No, just transfer him.
01:09:42Patty?
01:09:43Avery.
01:09:44I'm gonna borrow you for one of my projects.
01:09:46I already asked Nathan, and he's agreed to let you work on my team.
01:09:53Great.
01:09:54Now even work is awkward.
01:09:56Fine.
01:09:57I'll prove myself wherever I am.
01:10:00Of course.
01:10:01Happy to help.
01:10:04Of course.
01:10:05Happy to help.
01:10:09The Lalegans coffee expansion project.
01:10:12I want you two to work together.
01:10:14Avery, you're gonna lead the client presentation.
01:10:17Why?
01:10:20This is my group's project.
01:10:22Why is she leading the presentation?
01:10:24Because your presentation was too abstract.
01:10:26I need someone who can actually negotiate.
01:10:28So you can learn from Avery, or your next performance review will be at risk.
01:10:32You expect me to learn from her?
01:10:35My advisor is Harvard's most renowned economy.
01:10:38I don't care.
01:10:38I care about closing deals.
01:10:40You can get out.
01:10:43Wow.
01:10:49god I'm so fucking done with this.
01:10:56Avery, I will make sure you never get the chance to take my spot.
01:11:21This isn't the meeting menu.
01:11:24Hick, our clients expect you to be well prepared.
01:11:27Otherwise they'll never take us seriously.
01:11:31Organize these documents carefully.
01:11:42Cherry.
01:11:43Long time no see, Avery.
01:11:51Cherry, what are you doing?
01:11:53Someone asked me to do this.
01:11:54Have fun with the files, Cinderella.
01:11:57Cherry!
01:12:03Cherry.
01:12:09Where's Avery?
01:12:11Didn't you tell her how important this project was?
01:12:13I texted and emailed.
01:12:15She isn't responding.
01:12:21You'll present.
01:12:24Got it, Batty.
01:12:26Oh.
01:12:31Girls are brutal.
01:12:34I mean, they actually locked her in a room?
01:12:36She's screwed.
01:12:37What'd you say?
01:12:40Who got locked in?
01:12:44Oh shit.
01:12:46Shit.
01:12:53What a loser.
01:12:59Are you fucking crazy?
01:13:01I'll call the cop.
01:13:02Yeah, go ahead.
01:13:02While you're at it, get yourself a fucking lawyer.
01:13:04See how many years false imprisonment gets you in New York.
01:13:08Get out of my fucking way.
01:13:10Are you okay?
01:13:12What the hell?
01:13:16Oh, and I have to get back to work.
01:13:17I have to review Yumi's presentation deck tonight.
01:13:21Seriously?
01:13:22I just found you on a frickin' floor.
01:13:26They tried to bring me down.
01:13:27I'm gonna beat them with my own work.
01:13:30I'm gonna get Yumi kicked out of Maxwell.
01:13:33Then I'm with you.
01:13:35Here.
01:13:36Here.
01:13:36Get your things.
01:13:38You know?
01:13:39You got it?
01:13:42You got it?
01:13:43Come on.
01:13:44Let's go.
01:13:46Come on.
01:13:48Here.
01:13:48Come a swine.
01:13:50You alright?
01:13:57Done.
01:13:58Yeah?
01:13:59Sent to the client.
01:14:00Thank God we reviewed our deck, otherwise Maxwell wouldn't look like a joke.
01:14:04I know.
01:14:09What happened to your hand?
01:14:10Scraped it on that psycho's door.
01:14:12It's not a big deal though.
01:14:19Is that a band-aid?
01:14:20Yes.
01:14:22Okay.
01:14:28You know, I gotta say, that picture is pretty warm.
01:14:33Your face on the other hand?
01:14:36Ice cold.
01:14:40I hate you, Jason.
01:14:52The presentation was two days ago.
01:14:56Afterward you send them a revised proposal?
01:14:58Are you using Maxwell as a playground?
01:15:01Yumi's proposal had major flaws.
01:15:03I had to contain the damage.
01:15:04So why weren't you at the presentation?
01:15:06Why didn't you coordinate with Yumi?
01:15:09Or were you too busy hanging out with Owen that night in the office?
01:15:13I wasn't.
01:15:14I wasn't.
01:15:15I was working late because you-
01:15:16I don't want excuses.
01:15:18If you can't manage your professional relationships,
01:15:22is this really the best that you can do?
01:15:24You didn't even look into what happened.
01:15:26You just decided it was my fault.
01:15:28No.
01:15:28This is a workplace.
01:15:30Results are all that matter.
01:15:31If you can't stop letting your emotions lead you,
01:15:33then step off the project.
01:15:37Fine.
01:15:38Have it your way.
01:15:50Nathan.
01:15:53A recent hire is accused of workplace bullying
01:15:55and conspiring to falsely imprison another employee.
01:15:59We have witness statements.
01:16:05And security footage.
01:16:17You didn't even look into what happened.
01:16:19You just decided it was my fault.
01:16:26Thanks.
01:16:41Avery.
01:16:43Avery.
01:16:44Get in the car.
01:16:45No.
01:16:46Just get in the car.
01:16:47Are you out of your mind?
01:16:53What if someone from the office sees us?
01:16:55I'm just driving you home.
01:16:58Well, I changed my mind.
01:16:59I have a report to finish.
01:17:01You've been avoiding me.
01:17:03I'm contributing to the company.
01:17:06Isn't that what you wanted?
01:17:07Look, you don't have to avoid me much longer.
01:17:09I'm going on a business trip.
01:17:11I'll drive you home and then I'll leave.
01:17:13Avery.
01:17:15I'm going to take it.
01:17:17I'm coming.
01:17:17I'm coming over.
01:17:21I'm coming over.
01:17:22I'm going to take it.
01:17:32I'm coming over.
01:17:34I'm coming over.
01:17:45me. I saw the compliance video. I'm an asshole. I shouldn't have said those things.
01:17:57So you lied just to make sure I'd come home early. Do you like me, Nathan? I just think
01:18:11that's pretty obvious. I think that's pretty obvious. Then why'd you flash that stupid black
01:18:21card at me? Money is how I claim what's mine. I'm used to that. I thought that if I didn't
01:18:28give it to you that you would just run away and leave. And then you ghosted me? For two
01:18:32weeks? And you kept calling it this mutual thing like it was just a one night stand.
01:18:38I called it a mutual thing because it meant that you were choosing me too. Not that
01:18:42you were going to go out and get close to someone else. And then you called it New York etiquette
01:18:47which really pissed me off. You seriously thought I was with Owen. I couldn't stop thinking about
01:18:52you. He was just helping me keep my mind on work. That is it. Do you have any idea how
01:19:02miserable
01:19:03I was? Thinking you didn't feel the same way? You never actually told me how you felt.
01:19:15I did. The cello piece that night. That was my confession. You mean can you feel the love tonight?
01:19:25That's the Lion King. Cool. Well next time just be more direct. Well next time just be more direct.
01:19:46I move you.
01:19:49I move you.
01:20:02I do it.
01:20:26No.
01:20:27No! Are you crazy?
01:20:28What if someone from Maxwell sees us?
01:20:30It's a parking garage, sweetheart.
01:20:32No. You're going first.
01:20:35I'll be up there in 10.
01:20:37Fine.
01:20:38I'll see you up there.
01:20:40See you.
01:20:51Owen.
01:20:52What are you doing here?
01:20:55I saw everything.
01:20:58You got out of Nathan's car.
01:21:00What's up?
01:21:02All those times you turned me down?
01:21:06It's because of him.
01:21:09I'm sorry, Owen.
01:21:14Your secret's safer than me.
01:21:17Thanks.
01:21:18We still need partners, right?
01:21:20Always.
01:21:25Yeah!
01:21:26One more.
01:21:30Looks like somebody got dumped.
01:21:34I like her so much.
01:21:39I'm sorry.
01:21:41I'm sorry.
01:21:42I'm sorry.
01:21:43So you confessed to Avery and she still turned you down?
01:21:48Man, I mean, you're amazing.
01:21:51Yeah.
01:21:51Like, who could possibly beat you?
01:21:54I'm telling you it was Nathan.
01:21:58I saw that.
01:22:00What'd you say?
01:22:02I saw that.
01:22:08He said he saw Nathan and Avery kissing.
01:22:11No fucking way.
01:22:12Yeah.
01:22:13I mean, is he hallucinating?
01:22:15Think about it.
01:22:17Yumi and Cherry were fired for messing with Avery.
01:22:19Nathan was the one who made the call, so...
01:22:24You're right.
01:22:35She's here.
01:22:37What's going on?
01:22:39Why is everyone staring at me?
01:22:43Avery...
01:22:44I'm sorry.
01:22:45I didn't think it'd blow up like this.
01:22:48I was drunk.
01:22:57This is ridiculous.
01:22:59I'll explain to the shareholders...
01:23:01Explain what?
01:23:03It's true then, isn't it?
01:23:09So...
01:23:10Avery Quinn.
01:23:11You slept your way to the top.
01:23:14No wonder some SUNY loser ended up outranking me.
01:23:18Watch your mouth.
01:23:18Every step of my hiring is legitimate and documented.
01:23:22Keep spreading lies and I'll sue you for defamation.
01:23:28So...
01:23:28What?
01:23:30You think Maxwell allows office romances?
01:23:34Maybe for ordinary employees, but...
01:23:37He's a partner.
01:23:50Stop.
01:23:51I'll resign if that...
01:23:52Stop playing the fucking hero, Owen.
01:23:55I went to the Ivy League.
01:23:56My whole life belongs in Vanity Fair.
01:23:59What does this country hick have that I don't?
01:24:01And you.
01:24:03Pack your things and fuck off.
01:24:05Maybe then I'll leave Nathan alone.
01:24:07Otherwise, the shareholders will force them out.
01:24:10I always knew this day might come.
01:24:12I'm not naive.
01:24:14But Maxwell means more to Nathan than I ever could.
01:24:17Fine.
01:24:18I'll go.
01:24:19Nathan, don't.
01:24:20That's right.
01:24:21In Manhattan, I squash all the people like ants.
01:24:26We've got leverage.
01:24:27He can't save your ass now.
01:24:32Quick announcement, everyone.
01:24:36Quick announcement, everyone.
01:24:39For personal reasons, I am leaving Maxwell.
01:24:45Jason and Patty will take over as senior partners.
01:24:51It's been a pleasure working with all of you and I wish you all the very best.
01:24:54And one more thing.
01:25:03I'm in love.
01:25:08How dare he?
01:25:15This is my girlfriend.
01:25:17I don't know.
01:25:30Have you all lost your minds?
01:25:34We worked our asses off to get here.
01:25:37And you're going to applaud this girl who slept with our boss?
01:25:40Looks like my man Nathan stole the spotlight.
01:25:43And I haven't forgotten I have to deal with you two.
01:25:46I told you.
01:25:48I have zero tolerance for workplace bullying.
01:25:52I personally oversaw this hiring process myself and turned in the papers to the board.
01:25:57Your father is out.
01:25:59Arrested for embezzlement.
01:26:00What?
01:26:01And you spread false rumors inside the firm.
01:26:05You damaged Maxwell's reputation.
01:26:07We already have retained legal counsel.
01:26:10And you two.
01:26:11You're facing prison time.
01:26:14Security!
01:26:18Security!
01:26:19See you later girls.
01:26:22Wait.
01:26:23Hold on!
01:26:25You two can go as well.
01:26:31Jason.
01:26:33Patty.
01:26:35But is there any way we could save Nathan's position?
01:26:38I mean I can leave.
01:26:39No, don't worry about him.
01:26:41If he actually left Maxwell we'd have half the corporate elite and politicians lining up to hire him.
01:26:48The shareholders will be begging for him back.
01:26:50No, don't worry about him.
01:26:53You can come with us.
01:26:55Come on, man.
01:26:57See?
01:26:58Hey.
01:26:59How do you want?
01:27:03You scared me to death.
01:27:05Standing there and announcing you were leaving.
01:27:08I have options.
01:27:09I was gonna let the career that you worked so hard for be ruined.
01:27:13Well, Maxwell's your baby.
01:27:17And you're my own.
01:27:20Come on.
01:27:21I'm starting to miss the gold, Nathan.
01:27:24You see?
01:27:25Okay.
01:27:34Jessica, your interview analysis isn't deep enough.
01:27:36I need the core logic behind the cleaning system.
01:27:39Alan, I need your competitive analysis on my desk by three.
01:27:51Hi.
01:27:53Looks like my little bunny finally turned into a wolf.
01:27:56Yeah, you're the best.
01:27:57Yeah.
01:28:13Thanks, I'm really impressed.
01:28:14Yes.
